It’s..you??

I had this thought last night so like :3 enjoy

When Joji left for New York from Osaka , you had one Polaroid to treasure that day by, the day you ran home collapsing into your mothers arms as you bawled your eyes out,, the boy you’d grown up with had gone away.

Fanning the Polaroid in the air as the plane took off, you smiled tears still running down your face, you felt angry and sad but still felt some happiness for the boy.

but here you where: 10 YEARS LATER; NEW YORK , BUCHANAN-APARTMENTS

slipping on a T-shirt that joji had given you in Osaka when you stayed at his house , because you’d spilt miso down yours the night prior.

You smiled contentedly, checking yourself out in the mirror before turning away and clipping the Danny pack around your waist.

Not forgetting the lanyard that proudly displayed MEET-AND-GREET ACCESS , SMITHEREENS.

giggling lightly as you stepped out of the apartment , you sighed softly and began the walk to the train line all the way to Madison square garden.

straightening out the shirt whilst tapping your foot on the not so pristine ground of the train line, a large dopey smile spread across your face, knowing you had the Polaroid of the last day you saw joji in your fanny pack you where content.

You did miss the boy, you’d watched him grow whilst filming the rest of filthy Frank, the conclusion and you even listened to the SoundCloud releases, thom etc

CONCERT START: 7:24 PM

watching as he ran onto the stage , the girl smiled , there he was, Joji miller, her childhood best friend and childhood crush, and hell those feelings had never ever left.

Her head began to bop as YUKON (INTERLUDE) began to play , smiling like an idiot as she watched the boy you’d grew up with finally happier than he had been when she’d last seen him.

She knew every lyric to every Smithereens and in tongues delux song , her hands tapped against the railings as the song faded into the city air.

“SHE SAID IM DUMB,, SURROUNDED BY STRANGERS WHEN I HEAR YOUR VOICE, IM TOO DEEP” she sung, almost passionately her voice blending in with the crowd.

the rings on her fingers clinked against the metal of the barrier as joji came closer to the edge of the stage crouching down his hand moving forward , as he moved along toward you , his eyes widened his head tilting, as BLAHBLAHBLAH drifted out just like YUKON had moments prior, the melody of dissolve flew into the surroundings.

She lifted a hand to wave at the boy as he grasped it smiling , butterflies flew through her stomach like they had when they hugged for the last time, as he planted a small kiss on the crown of her head.

“Do you feel complacent on the outside?” She harmonised as the other man on the stage smiled at her standing up he ran back to his place in the middle of the large stage.

The melody of die for you began to fade in as the tears began to fall down her face, this was the song that got her through so much when she missed the man now infront of her on a stage.

“Swear I couldn’t sleep a wink last night, no point in turning off the light.” They duetted their voices flowing together just like they had all those years ago before he left.

“Not the same without your head on my shoulders.” it was true, Joji felt it too, he missed the weight of the girls head in his shoulders.

“Growin pains but I don’ wanna get older” , once more the lyrics held true, she didn’t want to get older not without seeing him and feeling his skin against hers again.

“Almost like we left it all on read.” , their friendship felt like that after he left.

1AM FREESTYLE began to play again, the songs feeling like they meant more than just a harmless melody it was like a letter written but unsent.

“you know you can make it, but you can’t make it alone.” She breathed the tears now full force down her face as her hands gripped the barrier.

MEET AND GREET, 9:45PM

as she stood last in the line, the person in-front of her left , she could swear she saw the boy jump from his seat as he sped toward her.

“Holy shit, y/n.” He sputtered holding her shoulders

“Joji…” she sniffled wrapping her arms around his shoulders as he returned the action.
