Rainy Weather

Pairing: Franco Colapinto x reader

Words: 482

Summary: Passing the time with your boyfriend as you’re waiting for qualifying to start (which it doesn’t)

Warnings: Nothing, just fluff. Potential spelling errors

It’s Saturday in São Paulo and qualifying was to start in about 15 minutes, but the weather said no.

It started raining, a lot… so for safety it was decided to delay the starting time.

You were standing with Franco in the garage as he had an arm around you and talking to some mechanics. You turned to look out to the pit wall and saw the rain, “Oh my god! You’re not gonna be able to race in this!” You pointed out with a gasp. “It’s been delayed already. We’re hoping for it to pass.” Someone in the garage informed you. You nodded at them as you leaned closer into Franco's side.

You stood there looking at the rain for a good while as the starting time kept getting delayed. The rain was calming down a little, but not enough to let them race. You had a spontaneous idea to pass the time, you walked out of Franco’s grasp but pulled him with you through the garage. “Amor what are you doing?” He asked with a chuckle. You turned your head slightly to look over your shoulder at him with a smile, “Dance with me!” You said as you pulled him out in the rain and wrapped your arms around his neck. He smiled down at you as he put his hands on your hips to rock with you in the rain, “You’re crazy” you smiled back up at him before standing on your tippy toes to get closer to his face, your lips inches apart. “But you love it.” He closed the gap and placed his lips on yours, pulling your body closer to his. When you broke apart he leaned his forehead against yours before answering, “Yes, I do.”

You continued dancing and running around in the rain, kicking the water on the ground at each other and laughing together. This interaction was captured on video from so many different places, by people in the Williams garage, by other drivers, and by fans in the stands.

You didn’t know for how long you were out in the rain but when you decided you had enough you went back into the garage, first drying off with towels then sitting down next to each other and getting wrapped in a blanket. You rested your head against his shoulder as he pulled you closer into his side, you sat together like that for a good while. You were close to drifting off into sleep when someone came up to you with the information that qualifying was postponed until tomorrow. You turned to look at each other before speaking, “Well, at least we made the most of this time.” You said. Franco just smiled at you before leaning in to place a kiss on top of your head, “And it was so worth it.” He said as he rested his head against yours.

Yours Truly - Ominis Gaunt [Part 1]

Pairing: Ominis Gaunt x fem!Reader

Themes: Fluff

A/N: Hey guys! I think this request is really cute so I hope it comes out well.

Part 2, Part 3, Final Part (smut) and Final Part (fluff) are linked :)

“What’s that?” you ask, leaning over Ominis. He had been sitting in the Charms classroom when you walked in. He spins around, his shoulder bumping into you.

“Ah, (Y/N)!” He smiles and pats the bench next to him.

You sit down and lean over, looking at the book. It’s void of any print but the pages are covered dots. He slides the book a little closer to you.

“It’s One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. I have to write twenty inches on dittany and its uses…”

You furrow your brows and run your fingers over the pages. “What are these?”

He gently touches your fingers to understand what you’re asking about and laughs lightly. “The words. It’s braille.”

You tilt your head. “And this is how you can read without your wand?”

He nods. You think for a moment and grin.

After class if over you run to Hogsmede. If you can find a way to write in braille you can leave him notes. You walk into Tomes and Scrolls and run up to the shopkeeper.

“Mr. Brown! Do you have anything that would help me learn braille?”

He rubs his chin, thinking for a minute. He smiles and pulls the stairs out, looking at the top shelves. He returns a moment later with a black book, handing it to you. You thank him and pay, running back to your common room. You spend all night studying the book. Grabbing a piece of paper, you use a quill to poke holes in the paper to create the dots. You give it to your owl to drop off to Ominis, hoping he doesn’t recognize her.

***

As the owls fly over head, one drops a letter in Ominis’ lap. Sebastian leans over and picks it up.

“A love letter, eh?” he says, laughing.

Ominis’ flushes red and snatches it back, opening it. Sebastian looks at it and frowns.

“I can’t even read it. Not fair.”

Ominis furrows his brow and touches the paper. Braille…

My dearest Ominis,

I have been awake most nights wondering what I can say to express my feelings for you. I have worked hard to convey my message properly. The first time I travelled to Feldcroft I was visited by the smell of the sea and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. I have dreamt of us standing on the coast, hand in hand. I think of your hair blowing in the breeze, how warm you must be in the cold air… You have always been kind to me and I hope I am as kind to you. I hope to see you again soon.

Yours truly,

Anonymous

Ominis sets the papers down on the table and turns to Sebastian. “It…was a love letter…”

Sebastian laughs and nudges him. “Who is it from?”

Ominis shrugs. “Didn’t say.”

Sebastian picks up the papers, turning them over in his hands, shrugging.

***

You sit down next to Ominis in Charms and lean in. “What’s the letter?”

He hands it to you and shrugs. “A love letter…It doesn’t say who from.”

You grab it and squeal. “Cute!! Oh Merlin, I have to know who it is.” You stare at the papers for a few seconds and sigh. “I can’t read this.”

He laughs and takes the papers back.

“Maybe you’ll get more and there will be hints.”

He nods and folds the letter back up, sliding it into his pocket. Who could it possibly be? And who would learn braille to send him a letter like that?

Tag list!

Pairing: Ben Barnes x reader

Warnings: so much cuteness you might combust. Too much fluffiness to handle.

Summary: Ben and you are supposed to prepare dinner. Turns out, you’re distracted by the music playing on this spotify playlist.

Word Count: 1212

Ben Barnes’s Masterlist – Main Masterlist

There’s sunlight coming in from the window. It’s a bright evening in LA, filled with sunshine and a gentle breeze. It’s warm, but you don’t mind.

You’re chopping carrots, and it’s soothing, in a way, the rhythmic sound of the knife falling against wood.

Clack-clack-clack…

You’re humming along a song that’s playing on this Spotify mix, even if you don’t know the words. You don’t mind, it’s a happy song all the same, it fits the love filling up the room.

“Alright, the tomatoes are done! How are the carrots coming?” Ben asks, peering over your shoulder to spy on your progress.

“They’re being cut into pieces.”

“Good, good… Not gonna lie, you’re a little scary with this huge knife, lovely.”

“Me? Scary?”

“Or hot. I haven’t really decided if I’m frightened or horny…”

You laugh at that, ceasing your movements so you could turn your head and kiss his lips.

“You’re ridiculous.”

“Hurry up! I’m waiting for your carrots.”

He wraps his arms around your waist, pressing his torso against your back and resting his cheek on the top of your head.

“You smell so nice,” he whispers. “Is that a new shampoo?”

“It is.”

“I like it. It smells sweet. Almost as sweet as you are…”

“You’re so cheesy…”

“You love that about me.”

“I don’t.”

“Liar.”

When he presses his lips against your pulse, his beard burning the soft skin of your neck, you can’t help the shivers that run up your spin, can’t refrain the sharp intake of breath that makes your heart stutter, and Ben smiles smugly at the sound.

“Liar,” he repeats, his large hands rubbing your sides now.

“We’re cooking, Ben.”

“I know. I’m not doing anything,” he answers, all innocence.

“Keep your hands to yourself, then, mister.”

“Hmm… I’d rather keep them on you.”

As if to prove a point, he holds you tighter again, making you laugh.

He’s being silly, and adorable, and there is nothing in your home now but laughter and love and the brightness of the Californian sun. It feels a little like a dream, you have to remind yourself that this is real, that Ben is here, in your kitchen, and not on the other side of the world working on a new project. No, instead, he’s making dinner with you; taking your time, enjoying each other’s presence and basking in the warmth of his body against yours, the sound of his laughter, the tickling of his beard against your cheek.

“You’re very good at cutting carrots, the bits are all regular and all,” he compliments you.

“Thank you.”

“You’re lovely.”

You giggle at that.

“Thanks.”

“You’re beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous.”

“Babe…”

“What?”

“Thank you.”

“Just speaking the truth.”

He peppers kisses on your cheek, assaulting the skin with his lips, brushing his beard there on purpose to make your heart stutter and it does, he hears it in the quickening of your breathing.

And he loves it. Every second of this evening, spent with you, in your kitchen, is absolutely delightful and he wishes he could stop time for a while. Or rather, no, he doesn’t want to stop time, he simply wishes this could happen every day for the rest of his life. Yes, yes that would be so nice…

“I love you,” he whispers in your ear, before kissing the tender spot right behind it, and the gesture and tone so filled with love and tenderness that it’s almost too much for you to take.

“I love you too, baby,” you answer in the same quiet, gentle tone. “I’m so glad you’re home.”

He tightens his hold on you a little, just as you cut the last piece of vegetable, wipe your hands clean on a kitchen towel. You wriggle in his arms to turn around, so you can face him and wrap your arms around his shoulders. He presses your lower back to the kitchen counter, bumping his nose into yours.

“I’m going to sound very cheesy again,” he warns you with a smile half-amused, half-tender, “but I’m so happy right now. I just… I know this is nothing fancy we’re doing now, in this kitchen. I know we’re just preparing dinner, and nothing is more mundane than that. But I adore it. I adore it because I’m doing it with you, and you make the most boring things exciting and special and beautiful. Your presence is enough to make everything extraordinary. I’ve had my fair share of dreams in my life, but now… now I reckon that my dream would be to have the most boring life possible with you. Nothing special happening, nothing crazy, no adventures, just… just this. I just want this till I die. That would be a very, very good life.”

You hold him tight, bury your face in the crook of his neck to hide how your eyes are now filled with tears, how you struggle to hold them back.

“That’s all I want too, Ben. Just this. Just you.”

Your knife, the carrots, the tomatoes, the salt and pepper and everything else is forgotten while you simply hug, hold each other tight, your ear pressed to the steady beating of his heart and his lips pressed to your hair. Eyes closed, the sun still enters the window of your kitchen, splashes photons on your empty plates and onto the counter. The music is still playing, it’s changed to a quiet song that fits the stillness of the air, the tender hold of lovers above a clear sky.

It lasts a long while, your tender hold. None of you move for what feels like a minute but lasts much more than that. There is a calmness to this moment, a peace you can find only in his arms, a certainty Ben has found nowhere but in your warmth.

He smiles at the change of music though, because this song is cheesy, just like him. He knows you love it, and can’t help but tease you about it.

When Elton John’s voice echoes through the kitchen, Ben starts gently rocking you, and he feels the grin that forms on your lips through his t-shirt.

He starts singing at the chorus, and you do too, looking up at him as he presses his forehead to yours, taking hold of your hand to properly dance with you.

Can you feel the love tonight?

He makes you spin before the chorus ends, making you laugh, and there is no brighter sound that could echo through this room. He catches you again, sways to the song with you. A slow, quiet dance to a love song you adore, there in the kitchen surrounded by a mess of spoons and knives and half-cut vegetables. And it’s perfect. Ben’s warm, deep voice singing along and messing the lyrics a few times, and you missing a few notes, and your hold on him unfaltering, and his hold on you unwavering. Eyes staring into the gaze you adore. And your heart skips beats after beats, and Ben has butterflies flying across his stomach, and you both adore it. You feel safe, like never before.

And it’s nothing special, nothing fancy, nothing incredible. It’s mundane and unbelievably simple. It’s perfect.

Can you feel the love tonight?

Yes. Yes, you can…

Idol (series)

Pairing: Franco Colapinto x reader

Summery: Y/n is a 19 (going on 20) year old girl who finally got the courage to apply to Idol with the hype and love from her boyfriend Franco.

Authors note: This series is based and play out in Swedish Idol, so it’s mentioned that they actually speak Swedish and that Y/n is from a city in Sweden called Lund, but for the purposes of the writing it will all be written in English.

Also, when the real competition starts in the program it’s 14 competitors. Since I’m making up a completely new person I’m gonna pretend like the first person that left never competed. Which means I’m gonna be changing around a little in who’s leaving when. Everyone is gonna be leaving in the same order but one week earlier in this than in the real competition. (The program will always be one week ahead of the story since I need to know who’s leaving)

And with Franco, he will be mentioned more in some chapters and less in some. I also want Y/n to interact with the people around her which means there will be a lot of those interactions every chapter. Just so nobody thinks that I’m forgetting our love Franco, absolutely not. He’s a very supportive boyfriend in this!

And yes, all names mentioned are actual people in this years Swedish idol.

Last but not least, the song she sings in that chapter is going to be tagged if anyone wants to listen to it!

Hope you like it!

Series masterlist

It was quite early on a spring day when you arrived for your audition. It wasn’t due until in a few hours but you wanted to be there early so you could meet some of the others there but also so you could feel it all in.

Your boyfriend Franco was fortunate to be free from racing just in time for this, so he had come with you as support and of course as your personal hype man. He was one of the main reasons why you applied, he loved to hear you sing and he was always in awe. He was almost shocked when you first told him that you’d never been on stage before. With your voice he was convinced that you would’ve competed in something like this before.

More and more people were dropping in as time went on. After being there for about an hour a guy came up to you, he reached his hand out and introduced himself in Swedish. “Hi! I’m Lukas. I just saw that you had an audition number on and I wanted to invite you to maybe play some cards while we wait?” He said. You took his hand shaking it, “Hello Lukas, I’m Y/n! And I’d love to!” He smiled at you, “Great! Me and a group other people are sitting over there, feel free to come over!” He told you as he pointed to a table with a few other people also wearing audition numbers. As he turned to walk away Franco tapped your arm lightly, “What did he say?” He asked curiously. You smiled at him, “He asked if we wanted to play cards with that group over there.” You told him pointing to the group from where you sat. He turned his head to look in the direction you were pointing, then turned back to you, “But I don’t understand Swedish amor.” Your smile widened as you stood up from your seat, “That’s okay, I’ll translate. We can play together!” You told him before taking his hands in yours and pulling him up from his seat as well.

You dragged him with you through the crowded room over to the group at the table. When you reached them you stopped and gave a little wave to the group before introducing yourself to all of them, “Hi everyone, I’m Y/n and this is my boyfriend Franco” you said as you pointed to him standing beside you. Everyone said their hellos back before Lukas spoke up, “Oh I didn’t say hello to you before I’m sorry about that.” He said, still speaking Swedish, not knowing Franco couldn’t understand him, he looked at you silently asking for help, “He said that he’s sorry for not saying hello to you before” you explained calmly. “Aha, thank you mi amor” he said before turning to Lukas and reaching his hand out to him, “Sorry about that, I don’t understand Swedish. But it’s all good!” He said as Lukas took his hand. “Oh I didn’t know” Franco smiled at him, “It’s okay, you couldn’t have known.”

After that interaction you and Franco sat down at the table with them and everyone started playing cards together. A little while later Lukas got called away to film outside, when he then came back inside he walked past you quickly announcing that he was first to go sing in front of the jury. You turned around slightly to give him a fist bump on the way, “Good luck! Go get that ticket!” You said smiling at him, he gave a smile back as he saluted and walked away.

The group around the table continued playing cards until Lukas came back out jumping and waving around a golden ticket. Immediately everyone started applauding him, when you heard the commotion you turned around and saw the scene. You joined in to applaud him as he walked over to the table to high five everyone. “Congratulations! What did you sing?” You asked him. He walked around the table getting congratulated by everyone, “I did lose control by Teddy Swims.” He answered with a wide smile. “Oh that’s a tough one! You must have done that good! How does it feel? The first one to get a golden ticket this year.” You said looking at him, “Oh my god, it feels amazing! What song are you going to do?” He asked, stopping beside you. You looked up at him and answered, “I’m going to sing ruin my life by Zara Larsson.” He leaned forward against the table, “That is also a good one, I’m gonna have to stay for that. I need to know if you get a ticket or not.” He said, “also, I completely forgot to ask, how old are you?” He added. You turned to him to have a proper conversation, “I’m 19, turning 20 later this year!” You answered happily, “and you?” He sat down beside you, ”I’m 23” he took a little pause before switching to English and asked Franco, “and you? How old are you?” He asked. Franco lifted his gaze from his phone that he’d been on while you were talking. He put the phone down and turned to look at Lukas, “I’m 20, my birthday is in just a few weeks though.” He answered. Lukas continued, wanting to get to know you, “Ah, I’m gonna have to congratulate you then! And how did you guys meet?”

The question lit up your eyes, you loved that question. With a wide smile you started telling the story of how you met, while you were talking Franco was quietly watching you in awe. He thought it was so adorable when you got so happy talking about it. He also loved to tell people about it but when you were together he always allowed you to do it because he knew you loved to talk about it. When telling the story you never directly brought up that Franco was a racing driver, but there was some hints included in the story since it’s a part of how you got together. Lukas seemed to pick up on those and got curious, “Okay, so I picked up some things in that story and I’m just curious. What do you do?” He asked, sounding genuinely interested. You turned your head to look at Franco silently letting him know that he could tell him himself if he wanted to. He gave a little nod before speaking, “I’m a racing driver. I drive in Formula 2.” The conversation between you three went on for about an hour before your name was finally called, your nerves kicking in almost immediately. As you and Franco stood up Lukas spoke, “I’ll be keeping an eye out for when you get back. Now, go get that ticket!” He said giving you a fist bump.

You walked hand in hand with Franco to the hallway where you met Pär, “Hello! What’s your name and who do you have with you?” He asked, shaking your hand. “My name is Y/n and this is my boyfriend Franco” you answered, fiddling with your fingers to calm your nerves a little. Pär spoke again, “Aha, and is he the reason why you are here? Are you nervous?” You chuckled a little before looking up from your hands, “Yeah, he’d be the main reason. And I’m so nervous.” Pär chuckled back as he put a hand on your shoulder, “Well you’re gonna have to deal with it because now it’s your turn.” He said before asking “Are you ready?” You took a deep breath and straightened your back, turning on your confident personality. “I’m ready” Pär opened the doors in front of you, “Good, you go in there and when the escalator starts moving you just go on to it, then the door is to your right at the top.” He explained. You turned to Franco before bringing him in for a comforting hug, you pulled away slightly and he planted a kiss on your lips before whispering, “You got this, good luck amor.” You gave him another quick kiss before letting go of him and walked through the doors to stand in front of the escalator. You turned your head to look at the two men on the other side of the door, “I’m closing the door now, good luck!” Pär said, and with that the doors do close behind you.

The cameras surrounded you to follow your every move and get the best shots. The escalator started moving and you took another breath before stepping on it and going up. As you reached the top you took a step of the escalator and walked towards the door, you pushed it open and your eyes immediately landed on the jury. When they say you walk in they perked up and were completely focused on you,

“Hi! Who do we have here? Tell us a little about yourself and why you’re here today!” The woman whose name is Katia said. “Hi, my name is Y/n, I’m 19, going on 20 later this year and I’m from Lund! I’m here today mainly because of my boyfriend. When we first got together and he heard me sing he thought that I would have already done something like this, he was completely shocked when I told him that I hadn’t. So he really just told me that I should apply because according to him I’m amazing. I sing a lot of different stuff, I’d like to say I’m quite good at adjusting to different genres. My boyfriend says I'm a “do it all” type of singer. I also grew up watching the program and dreamt about this, so maybe it was time.” You said with a little laugh at the end. They smiled and laughed with you before the other woman, named Peg, asked, “And what are you gonna sing for us today?” You looked at her and smiled, “I’m gonna sing Ruin my life by Zara Larsson!” The two women in front of you leaned back into their chairs with impressed expressions on their faces. The two men didn’t say anything but Anders, who's sitting next to Katia looked excited. Ash, who's at the other end of the table, just leaned forward and was ready to listen. “Well then we’ll let you get on with it!” Peg said, waving you on. You looked down to the floor and took a deep breath before looking up again, giving the guy who’s playing the cords a look to say that you’re ready. He started playing and when you started singing the jury was immediately stunned, while singing you were just trying to relax and not think too much or get too nervous.

Down in the hall Franco is standing with Pär and watching you sing on a screen in front of them, “She’s incredible!” Pär commented turned to look at Franco. He nodded, “Yes, she is.” he said under his breath. When you smoothly ended the part of the song all nervousness for that disappeared. You looked at the jury with a hopeful look in your eyes, the only nervousness left was if you were getting a ticket or not. Katia spoke first, “That was amazing. What are you doing here? Why are you not already on a stage?” She asked. Anders nodded agreeing with her, “I agree, that was basically perfect. It was like clockwork all the way through. I loved it!” He said. Peg pointed to you, “I’m floored, that was beautiful. You are beautiful! Like what? And you said you’d never done anything like this before?” She asked, you just shook your head as a no. “I barely believe you.” She added, then turned to Ash letting him speak. “You know, I may not say this to many but I’m saying it to you. I see a future world wide star. With this you could do anything, you sound like someone I would want to work with.” He said, smiling at you. Your mouth fell open, you were too shocked by their words to speak. Katia spoke up again, “Is your boyfriend here with you today?” You nodded, “Yes he is, luckily.”

Just as you said that the screen down in the hall turned black. Franco was so nervous, the poor boy could barely stand still. Up in the audition room Katia told you to go get him, you walked out the room and down the escalator to get him. You opened the big doors to the hall before speaking, “Baby, they want you to come up.” You said calmly, he was anything but calm. “What? Really?” He asked nervously, ”Yep, come on.” You answered, taking his hand and pulling him with you up to the jury. You walked in holding his hand and stood in front of them, Peg started speaking, “Hi there! What’s your name?” She asked in Swedish. You translated for him to understand, at this point it was just a habit. But you also always forgot to inform people that he doesn’t understand Swedish. “Thanks cariño” he whispered before turning to the jury, “sorry about that, my name is Franco.” He said to them. Peg spoke up again, “Oh sorry, I didn’t know you didn’t speak Swedish. But we all just really wanted to thank you for getting her to apply. We love her and we are so happy that she’s here. Since you were the main reason for that we wanted to tell you thanks in person. And also have you see in person when we give her this” she ended off with picking up, not a normal golden ticket but one of the limited special ones. “Now this is a special ticket, which means that you will have an advantage in the end auditions.” You let out a gasp as you covered your mouth and Franco immediately brought you in for a tight hug, lifting you up and spinning you around. When he put you down again you excitedly walked over to the table and took the ticket from her, thanking them over and over again, giving all four of them a high five.

You and Franco walked out of the room and went down to the hall, practically jumping through the doors and met Pär on the other side. “Well would you look at that, congratulations!” He said happily. You who were still excitedly jumping around thanked him before he spoke again, “Now go out to the others!” He said, smiling at you. You nodded and thanked him again as you and Franco walked hand in hand out to the others. As you emerged everyone started applauding, Franco picked you up again spinning you around as you lifted your ticket into the air showing it off. He slowly lowered you down and brought you in for a sweet kiss while everyone was still applauding. When you broke apart Lukas came up to you to congratulate you, “Congratulations! I’m excited to hear you sing at the end auditions, see you there!” He said as he offered you a friendly hug.

End auditions day 1: chorus line

Bonus names mentioned: Nils, Mauri (extra program host during the auditions)

Series masterlist

It's the first day of the end auditions, you and some of the others were on the Idol tour bus that was driving you to the studio. You were sitting next to this girl called Minou and you had Lukas and Leo on the two seats opposite of you. You had talked a lot with Lukas after the auditions and with that you got to know Leo as well, you three had become quite good friends in a short amount of time. You and Minou had your hotel rooms next to one another so you ran into each other multiple times in the hall and started talking because of that.

The bus stopped in front of the building and everyone got up from their seats and joined everyone else who had already arrived outside. People automatically divided into groups, you, Lukas and Leo sat down on a bench together talking while waiting to get called into the studio. Leo turned to you, “How’s the boyfriend?” He asked. He had just met Franco before he had to fly out for a race. “He’s good, had to leave for a race. I’m gonna check in on that when I have the time.” You answered. You talked a little more about your hopes about these upcoming days and how you felt about it all before everyone was called inside to gatter in the studio. In two leads everyone walked in as sat down in the stands in front of the stage, when everyone was sat and quieted down ‘everybody wants to rule the world’ started playing in the speakers, it became quite for a second and everyone started applauding, then it started playing again and the jury came walking out on the stage. “Welcome to the end auditions 2024” Ash said as the applause got louder. The Katia spoke up, “You guys, it’s time. Everything you’ve dreamed about, everything you’ve worked so hard for, is being put to the test now. And listen carefully now, this end audition is more important than ever.” She took a pause and you could feel the nervous tension in the room, then she started to speak again, “because there is no qualiweek this year.” She announced. Every single person sitting around you, their expressions immediately changed from nervous to shocked, as did yours. Katia continued to speak, “Those of you that come through after these days go straight into the live this fall.” You had to close your eyes and listen to the information in your head one more time, you thought for a second that you had heard her wrong. That meant that they had to choose a lot less people than the previous years, and that wasn’t necessarily a nice feeling. You snapped back to reality when Katia spoke once again, “Four of you impressed us a little extra at the auditions, you got our jubilee tickets. Can you stand up?” You instantly got hit with a wave of nervousness, you alongside another girl that you would later get to know as Ella, a guy who you’d get to know as Robin S and a young guy whose name was Nils, all stood up looking around at each other. Katia looked at you, “Nils, Ella, Robin and Y/n. We have very high expectations on you four. But the jubilee ticket comes with an advantage. A secret advantage. You four will be skipping the chorus line.” She announced, “you four will sit down and see when the others sing, and if I where you I’d listen extra closely. Go ahead.” She said and pointed you to the right section of the stands. Everyone around you started applauding as you walked out of the big group to sit down only you four together. You were a little relieved that you didn’t have to do it, even though you might have wanted to start off with singing it felt good to know that you were automatically one step closer.

After a while the first group of people came onto the stage, you listened intently as one by one got to sing. When they were all done Katia started talking, “You know, what’s so interesting about the end auditions is that you get to see who puts down the effort and picks up the constructive criticism. Like I said at the beginning of the day, some are gonna bloom out and others who have been favorites, will fall completely flat. This group is strong evidence that just that happened.” She said, you could see almost all of their faces fall. “I’m gonna ask some of you to take a step forward.” She added. She called two girls names, and told them they sadly neither of them had gone through. She called another four names, informed them that they had to be able to handle the pressure, because this was a competition. It was just a small taste of what this industry has to offer. She took a small pause and told them congratulations as they were through. They walked off the stage and went down to the hall, leaving two girls on the stage. Katia had a quite dramatic talk, telling them what they were expecting and that they needed to determine if what they had in front of them would or wouldn’t be able to perform. After a pause they were told that they needed to put down a lot of work because they were through as well.

The second group came in, first up was Joel and he definitely set the bar high. Everyone else went and when they were done, just like the other group they got called up and told if they were out or if they would go through to the next phase. In waiting for the next group, the bonus program leader during auditions, Mauri had joined you four to talk. “Do you feel like you’re better than the ones you see here?” He asked, and you all immediately answered “No, absolutely not.” He let out a small laugh “You don’t?” Robin spoke up, “I feel like there’s voices I don’t want to compete against.” Mauri was kinda shocked at that statement, “Really?” You just agreed, “The levels are so high, you don’t really feel worthy sitting here.” You said, he spoke again, “But you have to feel somewhere like, you’re sitting here for a reason. You can’t forget that.” You and the other three just discussed together, you were all just nervous that they had even higher hopes in you. And not just the jury but all the others because that would feel like, ‘you’re not singing, so how good are you then?’.

They went through group by group, and then it was time for the group that included both Lukas and Leo. And Leo went first, no one had gotten to hear him sing live yet because he was sick for the auditions, so Katie went to hear him sing in person. He had never held a mic or been on stage, it was all completely new to him. He started singing Skinny love and it was beautiful, but he was clearly nervous. And then it was time for Lukas. He was also gonna sing Skinny love, he started singing and immediately the jury was sure of their decision. You were listening and thinking that this guy is amazing. This was one of the groups where everyone was sent through, there were a few more of those.

With that chorus line was over and there were 44 that had gone through to the next phase, and there was a big surprise waiting. Everyone gathered on the stage and Peg spoke up, “Congratulations everyone. You have made it through the first step in the end auditions. To be a star and make it you have to be able to work together. So that’s why the next step is duets.” Everyone on stage was nodding their heads nervously. Peg spoke again, “And you with jubilee tickets, you are now in like everyone else.” You all nodded while she spoke, “so I hope that you’ve looked and listened good. Ella, if you could join us.” She said, Ella was very confused at first but went up on stage, on stage she was told that the four of you were getting another advantage. “It’s actually that you will be choosing a duet partner first. So turn around and look at the group.” Ella turned around and looked so scared, and she felt bad. She ran over to the group and picked out a girl from the crowd, they left the room to go choose their song. Then Robin was called up, he went over to a girl, Paulina, and said that he thought they could have very fun on stage together. Then Nils was called up, he chose a guy from the crowd. That was an interesting duo but you could see it. And then it was you, “Y/n, you’re last. Come join us.” Peg said. You stood up and walked onto the stage, looking at the group. You didn’t have to think very much, it was clear in your mind who you were choosing. You walked over to Lukas and did the handshake you had made together, you took him with you to stand in front of the jury. “Oh this is gonna be good, how do you feel?” Katia asked, you and Lukas looked at each other before answering, “It feels good, we have become quite good friends so this felt like a good choice. And I think our voices could go well together.” You said, Lukas nodded, “Yeah I’m happy, as she said, we’ve become quite close and I think this could be really fun.” He added. “Well this I’m looking forward to!” Anders said excitedly. You and Lukas walked off stage together to choose a song for the duet tomorrow. Everyone left was gonna choose a partner then and there on stage.

When you and Lukas got out in the waiting room you immediately started talking about songs and how you were going to perform it. “We have a lot of songs to choose from, but we have to work together. Eye contact and stage chemistry is really important. I think we should choose a song where we can really have that chemistry and make it look good.” You said scrolling through your Spotify with Lukas, “I completely agree, you know what you're doing. It’s kinda intimidating actually.” He said with a laugh. You turned to look at him, “what do you mean, I’m like the most non-intimidating looking person ever.” You said, he looked down before looking at you again, “Yeah, but you are so sure on the music. You know exactly what’s good and what to do. It’s inspiring.” He said, you smiled at him, “Why thank you!” You said before going back to scrolling, “My first thought was ‘I don’t wanna live forever’ by Zayn and Taylor Swift, but then I thought about your voice. Not because I think you couldn’t do it but he is going very high in that one and I still want a song that naturally fits both of our voices a bit more.” You explained, he nodded. “Agreed, what about Dusk til Dawn? He’s lower in that one.” He said pointing it out. “That’s a good option, I’m just thinking about solos for me. But let’s write it down so we have it.” You said, as you continued scrolling while he wrote it down. I little while later you ended up with a short list of songs, it was between ‘Dusk til Dawn’ by Zayn and Sia, ‘I know what you did last summer’ by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello ‘For you’ by Liam Payne and Rita Ora and ‘Rewrite the stars’ from The greatest showman by Zac Efron and Zendaya. You sang them all to try them out, trying different tones to see which one felt the best and which one you worked the best together in. You trained for hours, really wanting it to work out and sound good, and to actually have it stick for tomorrow.

Before it got too late you called Franco to hear from him and tell him about your day and what you were up to now. Of course Lukas also said hi. When you hung up you and Lukas were back to singing for about an hour maybe, then you took a break again and filmed a short video on your phone, “Me and Lukas are here training on some songs for our duet tomorrow. And yes we’re only doing one song but we’re trying them all to see what we’re feeling. So I’ll update runningly, bye for now!” You said before ending the video and again getting back to it. You trained for hours, at 4 am you took another pause and filmed a little update. “It’s now 4 am, we’re exhausted but it’s been going really well, I think we’re gonna nail it tomorrow, don’t you?” You asked as you turned to look at Lukas. He looked up to the camera before answering, “definitely! This is actually really fun, even though it’s been hours.” You nodded and turned back to look at your phone, “yeah so the plan now is to go to bed, get a few hours of sleep and then get back at it tomorrow until we’re called in I guess. So we’ll see you tomorrow, goodnight!” You said before ending the video. You and Lukas walked together to the hotel and hugged each other goodnight as you split ways in the corridor to your own rooms.
