Shots 'N Lattes

Chapter 1: Shots...

Summary: Shawn works at a coffee shop as a barista, and is a favorite among customers for being able to correctly guess what they’re going to order. Carlton decides to try out the coffee shop his partner seems to like. You know the rest ~

Welcome to Ye Olde coffee shop au, one of the biggest fanfic tropes! Thanks to the many fanfic writers that work(ed) as baristas, this trope has been used so often it is now widely known as one of the more popular ones, just slightly below omegaverse and soulmate aus. Considering working behind the counter at a cafe is the only job experience I have (outside of dog boarding and summer camp counseling) you get to hear it all over again. But this time, with a Shassie twist! Enjoy, you psychos (/affectionate).

Notes: if Shawn seems a little ooc in his reasoning for coming back to Santa Barbara, it’s because he is. I had to. The show never explicitly said why he came back, sooo I took matters into my own hands. It’s like I always say: ‘sometimes you just gotta grab your character by the throat and have them say something ooc in order to progress the plot’. You’ll see what I’m talking about in a minute.

----------

“Have a good day!” Shawn called out, the bell on the door jingling as it closed. He grabbed a rag from underneath the counter and began cleaning the espresso station. It got messy really easily, he found out.

Shawn felt lucky to have this job. Meeting new people – sometimes regulars – and familiar people from his old life in his hometown Santa Barbara was nice. Sure, living on the road had been fun. Really, it was an adventure every day. He certainly had plenty of stories now. But, all that running around started to make him tired. Yeah, he saw almost everything he could ever see, worked almost every job he could ever work. But there came a time when he felt... drained. Seeing everything became mundane, the cliffs and the cities he used to gaze at with wonder seemed more and more commonplace. Everything was just a variation of something else.

He took apart the portafilter and began rinsing out the separate pieces under the nearby sink as he pictured the many places he had been. Mountains that took up the entirety of his vision, buildings that touched the sky, grasslands that stretched on for miles. But something deep inside of him had longed for the familiarity of home. Of the western shore, of the boardwalks, of the warm sunshiny days.

It was that mindset that sent Shawn traveling all the way back west, where everything had stayed mostly the same. He reconnected with Gus, who was now working as a pharmaceutical representative. Of course, Gus offered his guest room in his apartment, and to help Shawn job hunt. Shawn took up the offer of a nice, warm bed to sleep in. But his pride kept him from taking any help further than that.

Shawn carefully began putting all of the little pieces he had finished cleaning back into their appropriate spots, and thought back to when he had first stumbled across this place.

Shawn had been walking aimlessly when he saw it. A little wooden sign hanging from an intricate iron rod, ‘ Sugar and Spice Cafe ‘ burned into it in fancy calligraphy. Two large windows took the place of the walls on each corner, and were decorated with equally large drawings of mugs filled with unrealistically delicious looking coffee. Where there wasn’t glass, there were rich red bricks. The name was kinda cutesy in his opinion, but what drew him in was the small piece of printer paper taped to the inner window, stating ‘Hiring. Details inside.’

Walking in, he began profiling the place. A habit drilled into him by his dad.

The interior was cozy. The walls had been painted a deep, soothing shade of goldenrod yellow, with wooden chairs and iron wrought tables sprinkled around methodically. Paintings of lattes and other kinds of coffee scattered the walls. On the far left, sitting on a tiny rise in the floor, was an upright piano. In the far back right corner was the counter, a small cash register on the far left. Another counter stood behind the first and displayed all of the different machines used to make the delicious drinks. When Shawn noticed the glass case full of pastries, he made up his mind. He was going to work here.

That night, at Gus’s place, Shawn did a bit more deep searching and saw that the little coffee shop was near... everything important, really. There was a movie theater a couple blocks away with a Jamba Juice right next to it, a Caribbean restaurant just a couple minutes walk north, a laundromat across the street, and — as Gus had pointed out when he saw what Shawn was doing — a nice apartment complex a few blocks west.

Now it had been 3 months, and he was still here; serving coffee, tea, and various pastries to people who couldn’t care less about him. Life couldn’t be better.

Shawn had just put the group gasket back into the portafilter with a satisfying click, when he heard the jingle from the door, along with the clack of men’s dress shoes stepping in rhythm to a gait he was very familiar with.

He turned around. “Gus! Buddy! You sell some butt cream to any stuck-up pharmacists today?”

Gus rolled his eyes as he walked up to the counter. “I don’t sell medicine to pharmacists, Shawn. I’m a pharmaceutical rep, I pitch them to doctors.”

“Why would you ever throw drugs at doctors?”

“I pitch the idea, Shawn, not the actual medicine.”

“I’ve heard it both ways.”

“No, you have not.” Gus took another look around the entire cafe. “I still don’t get why you chose to work here of all places. I mean, where’s the excitement you so adamantly look for in every job?”

“Simple, Gus: Gossip. So much gossip. I am getting brand new, fresh off the press gossip every day, delivered via old ladies or teenagers with nothing better to do. Well, every day except Wednesday.” Wednesdays were Shawn’s day off. But other than that, he worked from 8 to 3 o’clock every day.

Shawn’s attention was directed away from Gus as he saw a certain young couple walk in, one a tall and lanky man, and the other a short, lean woman.

“Shhhh sh sh sh, Gus!”

“What? What is it?”

Shawn whispered, “That’s Charlie,” and he pointed at the girl. She had a bit of a round face, one that was full of kindness and freckles. “She’s a regular. Really sweet. Absolute ball of energy once she starts talking.”

He shifted his finger to point at the guy. “And that’s her newest boyfriend, Todd.” Todd was… for lack of better words, a stick man. His face was long and droopy, and looked two seconds away from completely melting off. He repeatedly tried to grab Charlie’s ass, but she kept swatting his hand away. “He’s a real piece of work.”

They both walked over to one of the corner tables, and Charlie sat down. “Anyways. It’s been 4 days, and-” Todd started making his way over to the counter. “Here he comes, act natural!” Shawn hissed.

Todd leaned on the counter, and started to say “Hi, I’d like a-” but he was quickly cut off by Shawn.

“-a large mocha with three extra scoops of mocha powder.” Shawn grinned at Todd’s stunned look. “How close was I?”

“Okay, how do you do that?”

“Just a little bit of this-” Shawn brought a finger up to his temple. “It’s a gift.” In reality though, he’d seen the way the dude had walked over to the counter. His body language was practically screaming ‘I want to pretend I’m an adult that likes coffee, but really I can’t stand the bitterness of it. So I’ve decided to overwhelm the taste with the sweetness of chocolate instead of sugar and cream like a normal person.’ Which was fair enough, as Shawn himself felt the same way. Although he simply forced himself to drink plain bitter coffee.

The first time Shawn had done this was on his second week, when he’d grown accustomed to all the different drinks and the minute tells customers had when they were about to order something. He’d do the trick with a random customer, and when asked about it he passed it off as some secret talent. Until one day a customer kept pressing him for answers and, desperately looking for a decent lie, saw from the corner of his eye a lady decked with spiritual apparel. So he blurted out he was psychic. And that had become his excuse every time someone new asked about his neat trick.

Of course, Nick — the owner — knew that Shawn wasn’t psychic. Even Gus could tell that Shawn’s boss wasn’t swayed by his act. But it was bringing in more customers, so he wasn’t going to complain. In fact, he started encouraging him to keep it up.

Once Todd had paid and walked back to the table where Charlie was waiting, Gus leaned over the counter to keep talking with Shawn. “Okay, I’ll bite. What’s the story?”

Shawn began prepping the drink, pressing coffee grounds into the portafilter he’d just cleaned. “So, Charlie’s parents keep trying to set her up with different dates, right? This guy is just the latest of eight different dudes. None of the others have lasted longer than 5 days.”

“Why’s that?”

“They aren’t her type, but that’s besides the point. The point is, she’s not interested in Todd. Like, at all. And he’s lost all interest in her, too.”

“What? Why?”

Shawn nodded towards the couple as he dumped the espresso shots into a disposable cup. “Look at her, look at her posture. Tell me what you see.”

Gus looked, and saw Charlie slumped over the table, chin in hand, looking around the cafe boredly. “So? She has bad posture, what about it?”

“Because, Gus, she normally has the most perfect posture known to mankind! She sits like she has a pole tied to her back. The only exception is when she’s on a date.”

The wheels in Gus’ head turned. “So she’s doing it on purpose? But why-” And a lightbulb went off. “She’s trying to look as unappealing to Todd as possible!”

Shawn began steaming the milk. “Ding ding ding! Now, look at Todd.”

Gus complied, and watched Todd’s actions. The guy kept looking everywhere but at Charlie, and yet was trying to engage her in a conversation — to no avail.

Delicately, Shawn started pouring the steamed milk into the espresso along with the mocha powder, and began mixing it with a handheld frother. “Todd was super into Charlie, initially. First date he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Until she got her haircut.”

Gus did a double take, and looked at Charlie’s hair. It wasn’t terrible, just a simple bob. If he was being honest, he thought it looked great on her. “What’s wrong with it?”

“Her hair used to be like, past her ass. It was pretty, but even I could tell it definitely didn’t suit her. Todd, however…”

“Todd liked her hair long? That’s it? She cuts her hair off and suddenly he’s lost all interest.”

Shawn popped the lid onto the mocha, and set it on the front counter. “I know. Shallow, right?” He was just about to call out Todd’s name when-

“Uhm, hey Todd?”

Shawn’s eyes blew wide open, and he began unnecessarily slapping Gus’ arm. It was about to happen.

“Yeah, Charlie?”

“I don’t think this is going to work out. I mean- it’s just-” she sighed. “It would be better if we went our separate ways. I hope you understand.”

Todd’s face went bright red, an ugly frown forming.

“Uh oh. Here comes the angry newly-ex-boyfriend argument.”

Gus started to become concerned. “Should we step in?”

Shawn shook his head. “Nah, Charlie can handle herself.” When he saw the look Gus was giving him, he sighed. “She’s a gymnast. I’m pretty sure she can take on a stickman like Todd.”

As Todd started to argue with Charlie, Gus asked, “How’d you know she’s a gymnast?”

Shawn scoffed. “Oh please Gus, you underestimate me. She’s a regular, remember? She’s walked in plenty of times with nothing but her leotard and a pair of sweatpants on. Besides, check out those muscles. You don’t get that from not swinging around on bars.” Sure enough, the sleeves of the t-shirt she was wearing was taught, toned biceps slightly stretching out the fabric.

Suddenly, Todd stood up, stalked over to the counter, grabbed his drink, and stormed away.

As Gus watched Todd leave, Shawn rubbed his hands together. “Now it’s time to do what I’m good at.”

“Snoop into people’s love lives?”

Shawn hummed. “That is what I’m good at, isn’t it? But no.” He turned back around to the coffee making station. “It’s making coffee, duh. Or in this case, tea.” He grabbed a little tea bag, one that was labeled ‘Mixed Berry’, and dunked it into a small cup filled with hot water.

Gus waited, watching as Shawn delivered Charlie the tea, talked to her a bit, and then walked back. She did start to look a little better. At least, she wasn’t as visibly disgruntled from the earlier argument.

When Shawn got back, he noticed a certain look on Gus’ face. “No. Bad idea. Don’t go for it.”

Gus turned his gaze away from Charlie and over to Shawn, who was leaning on the counter. “Don’t what?”

“First of all: she just got broken up with-”

“She broke up with him . It’s totally different.”

“-and B: I can tell you right now that you’re definitely not her type either.”

Gus scoffed lightly at that. “Oh please. None of the ladies can resist this hot cup of coffee for long.” He flicked his nose with his thumb.

Shawn let out a snort. “Gus, don’t be the tummy ache I got from eating a spoiled pineapple smoothie. As your best friend, I take it as my duty to keep you from asking out the wrong girls. She’s not into you. Or me. Or any of the guys her dad’s set her up with.” He knew this because he had tried to win Charlie’s affection. Only a few sentences into their first conversation had he figured out why she continuously turned down guys at the cafe and broke up with her assigned boyfriends.

Gus slowly let an ‘Oooh’ as he realized. He brushed it off and continued their conversation from earlier. “Then why was Todd so adamant about staying with her? I thought he lost interest. And anyone could see that she didn’t have interest in him in the first place.”

Shawn talked as he took apart the portafilter once more. “Well, first of all Gus, I don’t know who Adam is or what he has to do with anything.”

“Wh- I said adamant Shawn. When someone refuses to change their mind, they’re adamant.”

“I’ve heard it both ways.”

“I doubt that-”

“Second of all,” Shawn carried on. “I mean, would you want to leave someone whose parents are loaded?”

Gus raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Get out of here. She’s rich?!” He looked at Charlie again, who was now sitting ramrod straight, texting who was presumably her friends, taking a sip from her tea every now and then.

“Yup.” Shawn confirmed as he started recleaning the espresso machine again. “Her dad’s the owner of some company I can’t remember the name of. Something with the word ‘Tech’ in it. Anyways, the way it works is that anyone that’s part of the immediate family — or married into the immediate family — gets a pretty decent share of the income.”

“How do you know all this?”

“She gets bored. And she likes to talk.”

“…Wow.”

“Speaking of which. Hey Gus?”

Gus knew exactly where this was going. “Yeah?”

“Can you pay for that tea I just gave Charlie?”

“Really Shawn?”

As Shawn and Gus bickered, they nearly missed the sound of another customer walking in, until Shawn heard someone sharply clearing their throat.

Looking up from his conversation with Gus, he felt his brain short-circuit. The person in front of him could only be described as a tall mug of Irish coffee.

He was lanky, but not so much as Todd. He didn’t have the malnourished look that Todd sported. The suit he was wearing seemed to be hiding some kind of build, much like Charlie’s. He had piercing blue eyes that he could do cannonballs into. But his hair was very unfortunately styled in a way that reminded him of a character in that one show, Mr. Bean.

Then Shawn noticed the badge, and felt himself deflate a bit. ‘ Great. He’s a cop. Why do all the hot ones have to be cops? ’ This was an exaggeration, of course. He had seen approximately 3 police officers come into this cafe during the entirety of him working there, and so far only one managed to make his head turn and his heart beat faster. And he was standing right in front of him.

Almost completely on autopilot, Shawn said, “Hi, welcome to Sugar and Spice Cafe!”

I just needed to say this to someone, and I figured I could do that with you. Because let's be honest, nobody else could understand this type of imagination but us. I just listened to a couple of old songs, for nostalgia sake. Until I remembered Shawn mendes and camila cabello's song, Senorita. I listened to it, and the more I let the lyrics sink in. The more I imagined Bo meeting or seeing Y/n outside of Ambrose, how both of them get to know each other for a bit, feeling this strange connection towards each other, wich eventually leads to them having this need for wanting to see each other over and over again. Until one of them just confesses one day, and they become a couple. And now I can’t stop imagining the possibility of this scenario being a Soulmate AU either. Or their first meeting leading to them having a one night stand, because that’s what the music video suggested. I can’t stop thinking about it, have I gone mad!?

OMG I love this so much!! I'm so happy you shared this with me because YES!!! 🥰

They know they are made to be together, they know they want each other and thus they have sex right away. It's like if they always knew about one another their whole life.

But reader thinks that Bo is a guy who doesn't want any kind of commitment and because of his way of life, he sometimes misses dates and it's clear he hides something. Reader is heartbroken, they think of leaving him behind because they can't stand the situation anymore. They are about to go, and Bo doesn't know what to do until he confesses his love for them.

And they become that power couple who flirt, argue and kill together. 🔥

kayfabe / non-kayfabe / au portrayal of dominik mysterio. open for plots. any romantic connections not accepted since in this portrayal he is married and in love.

NAME: dominik oscar grey-gutierrez RINGNAME: dominik mysterio OCCUPATION: pro wrestler BIRTHDATE: april 5th, 1997 ZODIAC: aries SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual HOMETOWN: san diego, california

Dominik, son of Rey Mysterio, grew up in the business. From a young age he wasn't entirely sure if wrestling was what he wanted to do. He did spots like football in high school, but he realized that it wasn't for him. Neither was any sport of going to college. With his dad's career and money, Dom didn't need to really have a job or an education. What he did want was to find something that was his own. That probably meant school which he tried and realized it wasn't for him.

He thought he could get away with not working. Dominik became bored after high school and not attending college. So he asked his dad to start taking him around the locker rooms. He told him that he was finally ready to do something he should've trained for from a young age. This lead to Dominik being involved with a storyline between his dad and big star at the time. He was scared shitless, but taking a Suplex City finisher before he actually debuted was a sign that maybe he actually enjoy it and wanted to chase after the wrestling dream. And he did. 2020 was a hard year, but it's when he debuted without a crowd and had a fun first storyline with The Messiah. Sure he got hit with a kendo sticks more times than he can count, but it was all worth it. It was then that he realized he made the right choice by following in his father's legacy.

Three years later and a heel turn, he's one of the top stars of WWE. Maybe not a top star, but at least he's top heel. He's in a position that he's very grateful for. He could've had no reaction after betraying his father. Thankfully everyone is pissed he hit the legendary Luchador and remind him every time he dares to speak with boos. Hey at least they're reacting! It could have gone the way he anticipated, no reaction at all. Since his debut, he has been Smackdown tag team champions with his deadbeat dad and two time NXT North American Champion. He does own half the credit of his success to the Judgement Day. Without them, Dominik isn't sure if he would have been as successful as he has been or even the MVP Shawn Michaels have recently called him. He can act as assholy as he wants on screen or says he dislikes him as much as does, but Dominik knows his dad taught him well and to appreciate all that he gets in life.

Connections;

Rhea Ripley: Best friend & soulmate.

Isaac Grey: Husband

psych prompt soulmate au (gus/shawn)

So how about Gus and Shawn started dating when they were teenagers and people were dicks to them about it because kids are awful and it's kinda rare to find your soulmate before even reaching eighteen, so they just hid it and never stopped hiding it. So Shawn using Gus' money is actually Shawn using their shared money but they pretend they don't share stuff 'cause that's a couple thing to so, and Shawn has his own place 'cause he has a lotta stuff, presumably, but they actually live at Gus'. Or something. And then I guess for plot reasons we need a reveal of some kind.

Current list of things I am craving

as always, there will be triggering content under the cut, proceed at your own risk

general

mafia

vampires

omegaverse

soulmates

poly

hybrids

royalty au's

size kink

specific

The Harvest is a government-issued bidding game hosted on every harvest moon, where Omegas are auctioned off to the highest bidding high-society Alpha or Beta, to ensure every Omega is given a secure and wealthy home where they can be assured the proper care and protection. Taking part in the auction is unavoidable to newly detected Omegas, however, per the rules of the game, they're given a chance to fight for their own claim in what is now known as The Run. This additional rule to the otherwise strictly mandatory bidding game is based on prior Omegas succeeding in their escape, thus proving their own self-worth and their own means to take care of themselves. Omegas who choose to take part in The Run are given a full minute’s head-start, however, by choosing to take part in The Run Omegas give up their position as bidding prizes, therefore no longer under the protection laws of The Harvest, and are thus free-game to any Alpha or Beta who would choose to hunt them down.

siren!ángel. can do a more human look or a more monsterfucking kind of look.

lia wants to tease and then be put in her place. maybe coupled with her being a mafia princess who thinks she can get away with anything.

give her a (step)brother(s) too

adrian as a rockstar bothering his manager and making her life hell bc he is a bully and wants her all to himself

free use in a group of friends setting

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

tagged by @yekoc! Thank you for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

72, with the largest number in hockey rpf (59)

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

646,636

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently: F1 rpf and hockey rpf, I have also written for Marvel and The Mortal Instruments fandoms in the past

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Most of my most kudosed are F1 fics despite my half decade in hockey fandom. I wrote a lot of rarepairs there or ships that became popular but were just getting off the ground. By kudos:

live in five (which honestly surprised me a little since it's about a nonbinary character) (Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen)

we're dancing in this world alone (Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick)

maybe we did something right (Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen)

pegging and other adventures (Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen)

got suckered in (Carter Hart/Travis Konecny)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I didn't used to reply to comments for a long time but over the last like 2-3 years I respond to every comment I get. I tend to do it as soon as I get the ao3 email so I won't forget to do it. I like responding to comments now that I do and I enjoy engaging with the readers of my fics.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't write angsty endings. All of my fics end happily.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think most of them are equally happily but I think the two most hard earned ones are play til you win (in which Daniel is an alcoholic who has to quit drinking and go to therapy to get there) and unchained melody (which is set in the 1950s and involves a lot of depression and self denial and immense heartbreak before they get there). I think to me the most hard fought victories are the happiest, especially when you have to overcome great odds to get there like in these two fics.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

So, when I wrote regret (Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick, regency omegaverse) I made a person a villain and got like 30 harassing comments from the same person about making him the villain. He deserved to be the villain.

I also got some not so nice comments on maybe we did something right because Max says of course a lot which honestly, if anything, I undersold it compared to real life.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes! I think at least half if not more of my fics contain smut. I actually enjoy the challenge of writing it. I've written a lot of different kinds but largely it's pretty vanilla. My favorite smut to write is definitely f/f though since it's the kind I obviously know that most about.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I once wrote a Mitch Marner/Shawn Mendes fic for a dear friend who was going through a hard time. It's very cute.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, no

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Another one where if I have, I don't know about it. People are totally welcome to translate my fic though! I would be quite flattered.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! I co-wrote a rather long soulmate trope subversion fic with a friend for hockey big bang one year and I think we did a great job marrying our writing styles. The fic is where the light went (Nico Hischier/Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick)

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? In F1, it's far and away Maxiel. For hockey rpf it's a 3-way tie between TK/Nolan, Jack/Nico, and Mitch/Dylan. I'm Marvel, easily Stucky.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Sadly, my Nico/Nolan college gymnastics au. I only have the first couple of pages written and I think the idea is brilliant (it's rule 63 and in it Nolan missed out on Olympic gold in a tie break scenario like Raisman and Mustafina) but I think it's never going to happen, especially now that I'm writing hockey less than I used to.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Strong research, and setting a time and place that is very grounded when I write AUs (particularly those that are set in the past)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I think I don't always keep to the fandom general consensus of characterization very well but I'm not sure that's truly a weakness.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Absolutely not. I only speak English really at all and Google is a very poor translator. I don't want to get another language wrong and I don't really think it serves to move the story along if the other party wouldn't understand it anyway.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

A long deleted Welcome to Nightvale fic that was only 800 words long and was deleted 6 months after I posted it on ao3 because it wasn't very good.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

It is 100% unchained melody. I think it's lush and beautiful and rich storytelling that's very grounded in the time and place (late 1950s, Winnipeg) it's written and I don't think I will ever write anything as wonderful as that. A close second though is play til you win which I think has some similar qualities in terms of groundedness in time and place (mid 2000s, central New Jersey).

"Wrestling is a love story” - Cody Rhodes, Apr 2, 2022

Cody tries so hard to do a good job and be a good wrestler, to climb up the ladder to the top of that mountain but he can never gain a good footing. When he does get some traction it never lasts and he just falls right back down to the bottom. He’s never good enough and it tears him apart. Throughout his whole life, everyone said he was made for this business, born to do it, a Prince destined for a King’s throne- it’s all he’s ever wanted to do. He just keeps trying and failing over and over to make everyone proud, to live up to their expectations, he does it for nearly a decade and he gives it everything he has. It’s just not enough.

Or: A canon based exploration of Cody Rhodes' character through his life and career, and the relationships he has.

[this will eventually cover different relationships in Cody's life with people like Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow, and Seth Rollins, with a special focus on Cody/Randy and Cody/Seth, but we'll see where the story goes after WrestleMania 40 ♡]

If you're interested in doing your own lore catch up, here are my lists of episode dates and times by year:

A soulmate AU where 3 little hearts appear on your wrist when you meet your soulmate after turning 18.

Or, the one where Louis is so sure about the fact that Harry is his soulmate, he's been telling it to everyone they've met since he was 3.

Intro // Part 15

It's Harry's eighteenth birthday today and Louis is finally on his way back home. He wishes he was able to leave yesterday already so he could have woken up next to Harry this morning- like every other birthday, but with him being in his final year and a tutor as well, he had to get special leave to take the next two days off.

It doesn't matter though. What matters is that he's finally on his way and Harry's waiting for him.

He's nervous. He won't lie. But he's excited as well. It's a weird combination really. His stomach is filled with butterflies and he's not quite sure if it's because of the nerves or the excitement that's currently bubbling within him.

The more he thinks about the, the more he realizes that it stupid. It's stupid to be nervous and doubtful. He knows Harry is his soulmate. It's been quite obvious since his eighteenth birthday if he's being honest.

See, the thing is. That tingling sensation he gets on his wrist. Yeah. That only happens when Harry's around. There's no other time he gets it other than when Harry's close by. Which, to him, obviously only means one thing.

With a smile on his face he thinks back to the first time he realized it. It's not one of his favourite memories to be honest, it was basically their first fight.

"Surprise!" Louis basically sings the word when Harry opens the door.

"Boo!" Harry exclaims and wastes no time in jumping into his boyfriend's arms- immediately connecting their lips in a heated kiss.

It's a few months after Harry had turned fifteen and Louis decided that he wanted to surprise the younger boy by visiting him for the weekend. Much to his own surprise he wasn't bargaining on his boyfriend having plans of his own.

Harry's been invited to party and had already confirmed with the host that he'd be going. He's been trying to convince Louis for most part of the afternoon to join him, but the blue eyed boy didn't feel comfortable doing so.

No matter how many times Harry tried assuring him that David (the host) won't mind, Louis insisted that he was not invited and didn't want to go. He came home to be with Harry, not watch him party up a storm with people he doesn't even know. Niall and Shawn don't count because he knows they'll be otherwise occupied as well.

So when the time came around for them to leave, Harry leaned against the doorframe of his room, eyeing his boyfriend that's stretched out on his bed. For a moment he himself even considered not going. He'd much rather be curled up with Louis. But he stood his ground though. Louis can't just pitch up here and expect Harry to drop all his plans to spend time with him. That's not how it works, and he's made his thoughts abundantly clear.

"So." Harry drags the word. "I'm gonna go then. Niall and Shawn are almost here. You sure you don't want to go with?" He tries one more time to get the blue eyed boy to join him.

"Cool." Louis replies and gets up as well, grabbing his own car keys. "Nah. Told you I'd go to my mum's."

Harry eyes him, shaking his head. He hates that Louis is so infuriatingly stubborn. "Fine." He huffs out. "I'll stay."

"Listen, it's fine." Louis assures, walking up to the younger boy, leaving a peck on his lips.

"Lou." Harry says just above a whisper.

"Hazza, don't." Louis shakes his head. "Just, please don't." The disappointment in his voice clearly matching the disappointment on his face.

"Lou-"

"You've said it yourself." Louis cuts him off. "That's not how it works." He says referring to their conversation from a little earlier. He clearly recalls how Harry basically made him feel like being with him is a chore and not really a pleasure. "You should go have fun, enjoy your life." He adds before quickly sliding past the younger boy.

"Lou, I-"

"Just go." Louis cuts him off again. He feels kind of bad about the way he's acting, but he doesn't show it. He resolves to not surprise Harry again in the future and rather plan together the days he will come home.

He lets Harry lead the way out the house and to Shawn's car, giving him a quick peck before opening the door for him.

"Guess I'll just have to be strong enough for the both of us." He mumbles quietly as he watches them drive off. The tingling feeling on his wrist becoming more faint as the distance between them grows.

It's been a few minutes since Louis has arrived at his childhood home. His mum's of course over the moon to see him, immediately canceling her evening plans in order to spend time with her son when he tells her about wyhat had happened over at Harry's.

"Don't be too hard on him, Boo." He's still young and naive. "He'll realize the importance of certain relationships in time."

"I know." Louis shrugs. "I just thought, seeing that I came all this way, he'd at least meet me halfway, you know?" He adds and takes a sip of the tea his mother hands him. "I'm not asking for much. I just wanna spend time with him." Another shrug. "I really miss him."

Jay pouts a little as she pulls her boy closer, wishing she could tell him exactly what to do to make him feel better, but her words are few when she notices the glossiness covering his eyes. "Come here, lo-" she gets cut off by the doorbell ringing. "Wait here. I'll be back now." She says and heads towards the front door.

Louis looks down at his hand. The strange tingling feeling is back and his head snaps up when someone clears their throat a few moments later. It's Harry.

"I'm sorry."

They say at the same time and Harry darts towards his boyfriend who opens his arms just in time. He wraps them around the younger boy, holding him close.

"I'm sorry for expecting you to cancel your plans to spend time with me, you're still yo-" Louis is the first to start talking but gets silenced by Harry's lips crashing down on his own.

"I'm sorry." Harry says shaking his head. "For being a selfish brat and leaving you when you came all this way to surprise me." He leans forward again, pecking Louis' lips. "Forgive me?" He asks hopefully, smiling when Louis nods before leaning forward and connecting their lips once more.

"Only if you forgive me too." Louis mumbles into the kiss, happy when Harry wraps his arms around his neck as an answer.

A few minutes later, Jay feels bad for interrupting them, but figures that the two of them have things to discuss so she just informs them that she'll be out for the evening before disappearing from their sight.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Louis asks, leading the green eyed boy to the living room.

"Just wanna hold you." Harry says when plopping down on the couch, waiting for Louis to take his seat before he snuggles into his side. "Want you to hold me."

And Louis does. He holds him tight. Like he's never letting go. He finds himself being more emotional about the revelation that the spot where his soulmark will appear only starts tingling when Harry's around. He finds himself wanting to tell the younger boy about it but he's scared Harry would think he's crazy.

So he figures he'll do some research first. Find out exactly what this feeling is all about and how it's even possible.

He'll do it when he gets back to Manchester though. Right now he just wants to enjoy this weekend with his boyfriend.

Heartstrings | Chapter XIV | Shawn Mendes

“ ‘It’s like a best friend, but more. It’s the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It’s someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don’t make you a better person… you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It’s the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens..you’ll always love them.’ - unknown”

“Shawn was a huge believer that the ‘soulmates’ situation’ was the most stupid thing on the planet, specially since it was such a rare thing to find someone with the same mark as you. He would do anything he could to prevent the so called 'destiny’ from happening, but could he?”

hi, this is the last chapter to this series and i'm so grateful to anyone who followed this story as it was in the building process, and i'm so happy with how it "came to life", so thank you so much. i have to shoutout to two people in particular or this wouldn't have turned out the way it did. first of all, i have to thank my bad boy anon for requesting this series on the first place and being so supportive, and also i have to thank @fanficshawn for helping me figuring this whole concept out. anyway, i hope you like it, and please give me some feedback.

new chapter of a Raul series coming soon

*Word Count: 4.8K+.

*Warnings: cursing, slight angst.

*Posted: June 18th, 2020.

-*-

Whenever I think things are going alright, everything seems to flip upside down. I can’t seriously follow Shawn’s mood swings, really. I know we’re in the middle of finals and his mom had a car crash, but Aaliyah called me to tell everything was fine and he simply disappeared for a whole week. I couldn’t find him anywhere on campus and I swear I tried being comprehensive, but I just can’t take it anymore, I’m done waiting for him to actually open up to me. And even though he got better last weekend, he got back to normal rather quickly. So I decided to study and ignore the hurricane that Shawn Mendes is on my life.

I took the tests and days flew by as I hoped to go home as soon as possible, I was exhausted and this whole semester was a mess, not for academic reasons, Shawn, and Tyler and then Shawn. Since when guys are the only thing causing trouble in my life?! I mean, that’s all they do, but I never put so much effort on them, so this is a bit frustrating. But when I left my class due to the fact that my tests were officially over and I was feeling so much lighter than I was before. Unfortunately, the light sensation was gone when I saw his jeep parked outside the building and his body leaning on it as he texted someone.

I felt my phone vibrating on my back pocket and I picked it up as I started walking away on the opposite direction he was standing. Pretty mature, running away from my problemas, I know, but what do you want me to do? There was a text from him saying he was waiting for me outside and that we needed to talk. I ignored it and then my phone started ringing and I had to pick it up.

“Hi?”

“Y/N, are you seriously running away from me?” Shawn’s voice echoed through the phone.

“I’m not”

“I’m literally looking at you looking over your shoulder”

“Well, I’m not the one who disappeared, am I?”

“That’s why we need to talk, I promised you I would explain everything, and that’s why I’m here, baby girl”

“Is that how you work?”

“What do you mean?”

“You simply vanish and suddenly you’re ready to talk?!” I know I sounded stupidly mad, but I had to be honest.

“I’m sorry, I can explain, I know it won’t change everything, but I’ll at least be honest” he said and I was able to hear his voice from behind me and not only from the speaker as he turned off the phone call.

I turned around, only to be met with a pair of those gorgeous honey eyes, that even though I was wanting so bad to punch him, the sight alone still made me weak on my knees.

“Why should I go with you? I think you’ve had enough chances”

“I know that, but again, I’ll ask you for one more, let me take you out, we can grab lunch and then pack, I can give you a ride home, please, Y/N, I’ll answer everything you want after lunch”

“You promise me that?”

“I do, can I take you with me?”

“Where are we going?”

“I can take you to the diner, the one from our first date”

“It was a fake date”

“Didn’t feel fake to me”

“It- You-“

“Come on, we can discuss this later, I know you’re hungry and you probably didn’t have breakfast nor dinner”

“How did you...?”

“I know you, Y/N, like the palm of my hand, now come on, burgers and fries and the guys are all waiting for us”

“Are they?”

“Yeah, it’s the end of the semester”

“Oh” Was all that left my mouth as Shawn extended his hand to me “let’s go then”

“Okay” he said as I grabbed his hand and interlaced our fingers, walking back to his car as he practically skipped his way back.

“How’s your mom by the way?”

“She’s fine, she’s at home”

“That’s awesome”

“Yeah” he answered and squeezed my hand softly “thank you”

I looked at him trying hard to hold back a smile, but it was impossible “Let’s not start this again, you were right, I’m starving!”

That was enough for Shawn to basically drag me chuckling to his car and I couldn’t hold back the laughter that bubbled from my throat. He was so excited to go grab lunch it was way too contagious, or maybe it’s because I was about to understand the whole situation and maybe be in peace with him. So the whole time we were in the car, he was basically beaming and jamming to his favorite songs as I tried not to die for laughing too hard. He parked two blocks from the diner cause it was filled with students and got out, as soon as my feet hit the ground, he was beside me, offering his arm like a true gentleman.

“Peace offering?” he tried with a grin and I just nodded giggling “I know this doesn’t mean I’m free, I don’t want to be free, I don’t want to be the reason you’re upset anymore, I just want you to enjoy today”

“Thank you, you are forgiven, for now at least, it’s a truce until you tell me everything”

“Works for me” he answered before placing a sweet kiss to my temple.

We entered the place and our table cheered as they saw us walking hand in hand and we just had to laugh. The guys hopped off the booth and left a spot for us both to sit in the corner against the wall, and Shawn didn’t resist the opportunity to pull me in. He rested his arm on the booth, just above my shoulder and I swear I had to hold back the need to just lean on his chest and relax after this stressful finals weeks. So instead of laying on him, I grabbed the menu to pick something up and Shawn poked my shoulder softly, which made me look at him and he was just smiling down at me which made me very confused at first, but then I heard Mel’s giggle from across the table and saw her holding her phone up at us.

“Come on, don’t pout at me, you two look way too cute for your own good” was all she used in her defense and I ended up just shrugging.

Everyone made their orders super quick cause apparently they’re all starving just like me, but even when the food arrived they kept on talking and cracking jokes all the time, which cause Brian to spill his soda through his nose. Somewhere between finishing my fries and milkshake, I felt Shawn’s arm falling around my shoulders casually, and since I didn’t do anything to shrug him off, he just kept it there, eventually pulling me closer, which led me to actually lean into him as the guys kept on talking.

Shawn looked down at me and placed a kiss on my forehead “Tired?”

“A bit, yeah”

“I can take you home”

“It’s okay, I’ll miss them anyway and my bags are already packed and my dorm is basically ready for me to leave”

“Oh, you can come nap in mine if you want, while I pack my stuff and then we can talk”

“Seems pretty good to me”

“We can even stop by at your dorm first, so you can pick up your stuff” Shawn offered as he played with some strings of my hair “Ian’s going home after lunch, so if you want to crash at my place and stay in his room, so we can leave tomorrow morning to be at home for lunch, you can”

“That’d be great, Mel’s probably going there to stay with Mike as well, right?”

“Mhmm, but they’ll both leave tonight”

“What are the love birds whispering about?” Brian chimed in.

“We are no-“

“It’s not worth it” I cut Shawn off by placing my hand on his cheek softly “we were just talking about packing and how we are going home tomorrow”

“But that’s not interesting”

“What did you expect, Brian? Them to tell you how they’re going to have sex all night long? Come on, they’re not you” Mel said rolling her eyes playfully at the red-haired boy.

“What do you mean ‘they’re not me’?”

“They’re not dumb” Mike replied and we all laughed as Brian seemed a bit too pissed to find it funny.

“Ha-ha as if you and Ian were a lot better”

“Everyone knows we are, dude!”

“Y/N! Help me out!”

I smirked at him and shrugged “Ugh, I wish I could, but I’m to busy whispering about my sex life with Shawn to help you” and with that the attention was back on the guys.

“Our sex life?” Shawn teased with a boyish grin on his lips as I rolled my eyes at him giggling softly.

“Shut uuup”

“Don’t blush, baby, it’s okay, you know you can talk to me about everything you want”

“I swear I’m not going back to yours tonight” I threatened and he only chuckled, placing a kiss to my hair.

“I’m only kidding, don’t need to get all flustered about it”

“Yeah yeah, fuck you”

“What a dirty mouth” he gasped and chuckled at my frown “I’m only teasing you, come on, don’t get upset”

“Whatever” I said rolling my eyes, but I couldn’t hold back a smile when he grabbed my face and kissed my cheek.

We spent a little while there just chatting and laughing until some of them needed to leave, so we decided it would be best if we left as well, apparently I was the only one with my stuff already packed. Shawn and I got to my place only to pick up my stuff and I took the opportunity to say goodbye to Mel and wish her happy holidays. But before I could leave, she pulled me into the room one more time in a bear hug as Shawn quietly left with my bags, telling me he would wait for me on his car.

“Mel, it’s literally just a couple of weeks”

“I know, I know, call me clingy or whatever, but I’ll miss you” she said with a frown and I laughed at her.

“Stop being silly, you won’t even have time to miss me! You’ll be spending Christmas with your new boy”

“Yeah, that’s pretty nice, right?”

“Yeah, and you said, back in August on the first few weeks, that you didn’t want anything serious”

“Guess you’ll never know, you didn’t know Shawn was your soulmate back then either”

“Is he really?”

“Dude, are you dumb or you’re just playing pretend? He’s clearly in love with you for ages, Y/N, he literally worships you, he’s just learning how to show it now”

“Are you sure? Maybe he was right, there is no such thing as soulmate”

“Sweetie, soulmates are simply two pieces that fit perfectly, they don’t have to be romantically involved, they’re just the other’s half”

“Mel...”

“Oh, come on, Y/N, here, I’ll read the definition for you”

“It’s not necessary”

“Shush for a second, thank you” Mel places her hand above my lips to keep me quiet “ha! found it! ‘It’s like a best friend, but more. It’s the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It’s someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don’t make you a better person… you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It’s the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens..you’ll always love them’”

“Aaand?”

“That’s you and Shawn, obviously”

“You’re reading way too many novels for your own good, Mel, and I’m the one who’s saying it”

“Fine, but when the both of you finally realize how special is the bond between you two, I’m going to be the one to tell you that I told you so”

“Okay” I shrugged giggling and she laughed in response.

“Now go, your man’s waiting downstairs”

“Okay, bye Mel” I said hugging her one more time.

We let each other go and she just grinned at me “Bye, bitch” So I took my backpack and phone and turned to leave, but before I could shut the door she added “Oh, you’re going to be completely alone tonight, so please do me a favor and use a condom”

I shut the door a bit harder than needed and I hear her laugh from inside the bedroom. I only shook my head, unable to contain the smile from blossoming on my lips as I walked away. Shawn was sitting patiently on the driver’s seat, looking down at his phone as I climbed up in his jeep. He locked the device as he looked up at me, starting the engine and starting to drive to his place.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Melissa, she’s just crazy”

“Took you a while to notice” he said with a chuckle and placing his hand, palm up, on the console.

“She’s just great at hiding it” I replied sarcastically as I laced our fingers.

He brought our hands to his lips, placing a soft kiss on the back of mine “Whatever you say”

The drive was short to his place, and I didn’t even picked up the bags, only grabbed my backpack that had all the stuff I needed for tonight and tomorrow morning and went with Shawn to his apartment. The place was filled with bags and backpacks, but apart from that, was the nicer it’s ever been during the semester. We didn’t stick longer downstairs, Shawn only grabbed two bottles of water for us and dragged me to his room, which was a complete war zone. He only took something’s off his bed and told me to get comfy to nap as he packed.

So that’s just what I did, I took off my shoes and placed my phone on the nightstand, laying down and watching as he started to go through his clothes and fold them not so nicely, and place them on his suitcase. I didn’t even noticed when I dozed off, but was really hard to keep myself awake with Shawn softly humming to some random song. I just noticed I was off, what felt like minutes later, when I felt someone calling me in a low tone and gently caressing my face waking me up. The first thing I saw was his honey eyes, then his body crouching down beside my side of the bed and then his perfectly aligned teeth in a beautiful smile.

“Hey” he mumbled softly.

“What time is it?” my voice sounded extremely groggy “how long was I out?”

“It’s almost 5:30, ordered us a pizza, hope you don’t mind” he replied standing straight “you slept for a bit more than an hour and a half”

“Oh shit” I let out as I ran a hand through my hair “I didn’t even noticed I was out til you woke me”

“You were sleeping pretty heavily, I felt bad for waking you up, but I was afraid if I let you sleep longer you wouldn’t be tired enough to sleep at night”

“No, you’re probably right, thank you” I said as I sat up, rubbing my eyes softly “Are you done with packing?”

“Yeah, I though that maybe if you wanted to talk... We could do it now”

“Oh, okay” I said crossing my legs and he sat down in front of me.

“This is not easy for me, so I’m going to ask you two things, okay?”

“Okay”

“First, I wouldn’t like things to change between us, it might take a while but I don’t want to loose you”

“You’re scaring me” I said with a nervous chuckle and he only smiled softly at me.

“I don’t intend to, I’m sorry, and the second one, I would like to say everything I have to say first, cause I don’t really know how to say this best, and I’ve practiced”

“Okay, sure” was all I could answer and I saw his cheeks getting pink.

Shawn took a deep breath and I placed my hand on his knee, and he only smiled at me as a response.

“You know I never really believed in soulmates and stuff, I just think it is a coincidence, right? And I even covered my birthmark that everyone teased me about with the swallow tattoo, to prevent myself from being stupid and looking for the same mark on others, cause for me this shit just wasn’t real. So when I found out, that you, the girl I had a massive crush on and my best friend and I shared the same birthmark, I completely lost my mind. I didn’t want to believe it was real, I didn’t even know if you thought of me that way. I was scared to death” he took a deep breath and I squeezed his knee gently.

He once again offered me a smile as he kept on going. “I didn’t want it to be real, didn’t want you to be my soulmate, I didn’t want to lose you, I wasn’t ready to be the one to ruin this amazing friendship we built during our whole lives, so my pretty dumb boy logic brain thought at first to ignore it, act like I never saw it before, and hell, I don’t know if it’s the soulmate/mark thing, if it’s God, if it’s C.I.A or, I don’t know, some greater love force, but every day we went through was getting harder to ignore my feelings for you and the itch sensation to just grab your pretty face and kiss you.

And then, my amazing ability to deal with feelings thought it was better to push you off than keep on falling harder for you, and I know, I was the worst to you and I’m so incredibly fucking sorry for ever treating you like that. You didn’t deserve it, and you also didn’t deserve being left in the dark, and I don’t even know how you found it in yourself to forgive me, but I’m so thankful for that. I felt like shit for ever making you sad and it literally hurt in me to see you less than happy, specially cause I knew it was my fault. And then the whole fake dating thing started and it was a mess. I was constantly jealous of Tyler, cause he’s an idiot who never deserved you and cause I really wanted you to myself. But I was completely torn between telling you everything and keep on pushing you away so I wouldn’t be the one hurting you more. Crazy, I know” he said with a ironic chuckle.

“Just a little bit” I mumbled softly and he shook his head with a smile.

“But since we started spending so much time together again, I just couldn’t keep on pushing you away, I had to be selfish and have you back on my life, and to be honest, since I first found out about our soulmate situation, that’s when I finally felt happy and relieved, when I had you around me again. And I even thought you were into me as well, hell, you kissed me, twice, and then I had to go on and ruin everything cause I got jealous over nothing, again” he said running his hands through his mop of curls, tugging at the roots “and then I was sure I fucked it all up and that you’re never going to look on my face again, and then there was my mum thing, and I couldn’t go to anybody else, I just showed up at your door without even noticing it, I am just always coming back to you.

You took care of me like no one else would, and that’s when I knew I couldn’t hold back anymore, I just needed you and I kissed you, and everything fell into place. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole day after that. And I know I disappeared for a week, I just didn’t want to see you and not explain everything you deserved to know about me, so it took me a while to get my shit together, but here I am”

He looked at me like he was staring at my soul and all I could do was hum in response.

“I thought you’d need some time to process it, so if you want me to leave I can go or if you have any questions you can ask me” he added softly and after a few minutes without any responses he started to get up to leave.

“Where are you going?” my question was barely a whisper, but he listened because he looked down at me with a frown.

“I’m leaving you to absorb it”

“No, don’t, don’t run away from me now”

“I’m not” he said sitting down again and reaching for my hands, that I promptly placed on his “I’m here now, Y/N, and I’m not going anywhere until you tell me to”

“Okay, so let me see if I get this straight” I started and he nodded with those big doe eyes “you were falling for me and freaked out when you found out we were potential soulmates, and decided to ignore it and push me away afraid of ruining our friendship?”

“Yeah”

“And then you decided it wasn’t the right thing to do and started hanging out with me again and noticed that you shouldn’t have done it on the first place without telling me anything? Your best friend?”

“I fucked up pretty badly, didn’t I?”

“Yeah, you did” I said and he sighed, closing his eyes that were already pretty glossy from the tears that started to form “hey, look at me, now I’m talking”

“Okay” he said sounding completely broken.

“You should’ve told me in the first place and we could’ve figured this whole thing out together, so neither of us would’ve suffered, cause even though you did hurt me, you also hurt yourself, and I know it wasn’t your intention to do it to neither of us. I know you never meant to hurt me, you were just doing what was better in your head for me, but here’s the thing, I’m the one that should decided what’s best for me, Shawn, okay? The whole problem here is...”

“That I’m an idiot?” he suggested.

“No, honey, well, a bit, yeah” I said and he let out a sad chuckle “but the main problem is miscommunication, we should’ve just talked to me, and this whole mess wouldn’t have happened”

He nodded looking down at our joined hands and I let go of them, only to cup his jaw and force him to look up at me “why were you scared of losing me? Or hurting me?”

“Me?” he asked and I nodded in response “I just- you’re perfect and I’m just Shawn”

“I’m sorry, what?” I asked chuckling softly.

“Yeah, you’re the most intelligent person I’ve ever met, you’re good in everything you do, you’re the sweetest, kindest and most beautiful girl I’ve ever met and me? I’m just Shawn, the dumb boy, that never had a real serious relationship and that likes to party on his free time, I’m not enough for you”

“I’m not all of that, I’m flattered, really am, but I’m not that, Shawnie, and you, oh baby, you’re way more than that, yeah, you might have this bad boy with a frozen heart exterior, but in reality, you have the biggest heart and are the softest guy I’ve ever met”

“Only for you” he mumbled.

“And that’s honestly all that matters to me”

“Is it?”

“Yeah”

“Really?”

“Yes, Shawn” I said giggling softly.

“So what do we do now?”

“What do you mean?”

“With all this?”

“Well, we should communicate better”

“Okay, that’s on me”

“No, it’s on me too, if I told you I liked you way too long ago, this could’ve been avoided”

“You liked me?”

“Yeah”

“As in the past?” I only hummed in response and he nodded.

“And now I’m in love with you”

“You’re what?!”

“In love with you”

“You fell in love with me?! Out of all people?Just like I did with you?”

“Yep” I said popping the ‘p’ and he laughed.

“Well, maybe there is such thing as soulmates”

“Maybe” I giggled as he pulled into his arms, hugging me tight to his body.

“So what do we do with this?”

“We can go slow with this, just go with it and don’t hold back anymore”

We just sat there, in each other’s embrace for a while, letting the eventful evening sink in as he gripped at my shirt and I played with his soft curls. Maybe we had a rough start to whatever this is, but having him like this makes me so sure that this was all worth it, if that meant I would have him like this at the end of the day.

“This can’t be real” he mumbled after what felt like ages.

“But it is, very real” I replied sitting up straight properly on his lap and he cupped my face gently.

“Prove it” he smirked at me, great, the Shawn I knew is finally back, and I only laughed in response, leaning in closer and finally pressing my lips to his softly.

The kiss was slow and passionate, I guess we weren’t in rush, we were just exploring each other calmly after everything that happened and I couldn’t feel happier. He was still cupping my jaw and my fingers were lazily wrapped in his curls, just getting used to one another. But when I tugged at it a bit harder than before and he whimper lightly into my mouth was as if something shifted around us. The whole place seemed to lit up on fire and even though all humans need oxygen to breath, suddenly it wasn’t important to us anymore. His tongue ran on my bottom lip as I let him deepen the kiss.

He was carefully leaning in and making me lay back on his soft pillows as his tongue licked into my mouth, one of his hands running down my body, only to stop at my waist, giving it a rough squeeze, getting a soft moan in response from me. And that was all Shawn needed to encourage him to keep on going. He placed a few pecks on my lips as he trailed down to my jaw and neck with his open mouthed kisses that was literally making me roll my eyes back and tug harder on his soft locks. When he started nipping on my collar bone his phone rang.

“Oh shit” he mumbled into my neck, nuzzling his face on my neck and going back to his assault there.

“Shawn” what was supposed to come out as a normal sentence ended up a moan when he left what could only be a red mark on the column of my throat.

“Hm?” he hummed completely ignoring his phone.

“Someone’s calling you”

“Yeah?”

“Mhmm” was all I could reply as he got back to my lips to kiss me all over again, living me completely dizzy, and almost making me forget about his phone.

“Let them” he mumbled before kissing me again, until I cupped his jaw and pushed him away softly making him whine in protest “I’m finally able to have you all to myself”

“And we have all night, baby, but you ordered pizza and I’m starving”

“Oh shit” he replied at the same time the doorbell rang making him groan in frustration.

“Go open the damn door, Mendes!” I said giggling and he got up to do it grumbling how mean I was, but still with a smile on his plump lips.

And I was there smiling to myself like the idiot I was, feeling my lips tingling and my whole body on fire. My phone buzzed from the nightstand and I reached to see who was texting me right now to ruin the moment, but it was only Shawn.

“Come downstairs, honey, the pizza’s here”

To Shawnie:

“I’m literally upstairs, you could’ve just called me, idiot”

From Shawnie:

“Nah-ah, don’t be rude to your boyfriend”

To Shawnie:

“Which boyfriend? I didn’t know I had one”

From Shawnie:

“Come downstairs and I’ll show you who’s you’re boyfriend”

To Shawnie:

“Nope, this bed is pretty comfy”

From Shawnie:

“Y/N, come on, baby, pretty please”

“Seriously, the pizza well get cold”

“Don’t make me go upstairs and pick you up”

“Y/N, I’m serious, if I go upstairs you’re going to be punished with tickles”

To Shawnie:

“Thought you couldn’t be rude to you girlfriend”

From Shawnie:

“Touché!”

“Now come here, baby, and I’ll make it worth it”

“Get your pretty ass downstairs”

To Shawnie:

“I’m coming”

It was all I could reply, still giggling like a teenage girl and I went downstairs, only to find him with our chat still open, writing down a reply I could never repeat out loud without turning myself into a blushing mess. But I’m not going to complain about it, I was happy, completely and utterly happy.
