Costume Party

Warnings: alcohol? also some Charlie Puth references

Summary: You sass your ex (sorta) at a costume party and Shawn is impressed.

Word Count: 1.3k

A/N: I kinda had a little bit of an idea for this around Halloween but I didn’t end up writing it until I saw smth cool that totally had to be written. Also, this was not beta’d by the amazing @hazeleyedcat, so be prepared for spelling and grammatical errors, and overall crappiness :)

You let out a huff of amusement as you walked into the frat house. This was exactly what you needed to get out of your slump.

After that stupid football player spread a rumor that you were an easy lay, all you could think of was anger. 

A frat house down the block was hosting a costume party, even though Halloween was like three weeks ago. So you finally decided to let loose and try out that new Cleopatra makeup look you found on Instagram.

“Come on, y/n. Lemme get you a drink.” Your roommate, Maria, offered. 

“Uh, no thanks. I’ve got class early tomorrow, I would rather not.” You smiled politely at her. 

“Suit yourself, I’m gonna have whatever Adam’s having over there.” She smirked at a guy on the makeshift dance floor. He was wearing a nude speedo with a plastic fig leaf stapled to the front.

You let your eyes slowly drift around the place before they snapped back to the guy dressed up as Adam. 

“Chad?” You squeaked. It was him. The asshole that spread the rumors about you. Of course, his name was Chad. What kind of an idiot were you to agree to go out with a guy named Chad?

“Oh look, it’s little miss y/n. I knew you’d come crawling back. I mean, who wouldn’t after they’ve had a taste of the Chadster!” He motioned to his crotch as his teammates cheered him on. 

You were seeing red by now.

“Oh, I’ve had a taste of the Chadster, and let me say I was incredibly disappointed. I mean, the first man on Earth ain't a tough act to follow. One pump chump and you're hung like a weasel. Ditch the fig leaf, get yourself a pine needle.” You spat and turned towards the kitchen. 

“We-We didn’t even fuck!” He stuttered behind you. 

“Oh really? That’s not what you were telling everyone yesterday, motherfucker!” You raised your middle finger in the air.

When you saw Maria, you gave her a tight-lipped smile. “I’m gonna take you up on that drink you offered.”

“Dude, just go talk to her.” Brian shoved Shawn in your direction at the kitchen counter that was being used as a bar. 

“What? Who? What are you talking about?” Shawn acted oblivious to what his best friend was saying.

“The girl that dissed that frat boy to hell. You’ve been staring at her all night.”

“I have?” 

“Yup.” 

“I mean, that was just an epic burn. I’ve been thinking about how she thought of it.”

“Uh huh, sure. I believe you, but I think it would be easier if you asked her.” Brian smirked at him

“Ugh, fine.” Shawn rolled his eyes at his friend and went to the kitchen.

____________________

You saw someone heading your direction for the fourth time of the night. After your explosion, too many egotistical assholes came and hit on you. They all told you that they ‘could show you what a real man was like’. You were not going through that conversation again with this guy, no matter how hot he was in that doctor’s costume.

“Hey-” 

“Hello fourth hot guy who has approached me tonight. No, I will not tell you my name. No, I will not give you my number. No, I will not hook up with you. No, I don’t want you to get me a drink. I hope that covered all your questions, now leave me alone.” 

“Actually, my only question is about that sick line you threw at that asshole. That was amazing!” Your eyes grew wide. You were not expecting that.

“Oh. Oh, thank you! I’m proud of myself, actually! I usually stutter like fuck, but I was so mad that I didn’t this time!” You blushed, hoping it wouldn’t show in the dim lights of the party. 

“Well, you should be. It was cool. Did you like, make it up on the spot or write it down beforehand?” The hot guy asked, actually interested.

“Oh god no! I’m like so not creative! It was an Epic Rap Battles of History line. Don’t know why, but that line’s stuck with me and I was finally able to use it.” You shrugged.

“Oh, that’s why it sounded so familiar! I was obsessed with those in high school! But still, that was incredibly cool!” 

“Why thank you, Doctor?” You raised your eyebrows at him in question. 

“Shawn. My name’s Shawn. And is your’s Cleopatra or?”

“My name’s y/n, but I wish it was Cleo cause that would be so cool!” You gushed.

“You’re a history buff?” 

“And major. Well, women’s studies major, but still. I surprisingly hated history as a kid, but I fell in love after a mandatory class in freshman year.” You fake swooned causing Shawn to chuckle. 

“And your favorite is Cleopatra?” 

“Yes. She’s just so amazing! She was an amazing ruler who united her Greek and Egyptian subjects after her ancestors failed to for years. And she was forced to marry one of her siblings and it’s said that she poisoned him just so she could rule alone. She was even minted on coins and stuff, I mean come on! And the Romans were so scared of her that they portrayed her as a crazy sex obsessed beautiful goddess just to scare their own subjects, and it worked. Apparently, she wasn’t actually that beautiful in the first place! And sadly, that’s the most popular portrayal of her in history when she was so much more! And-...Sorry, I’m rambling, aren’t I?” You cringed.

“A little bit, but it’s cute. You look so excited talking about this stuff. And besides, you taught me more about history in the past two minutes than my entire high school curriculum. Keep going.” He smiled at you, looking genuine.

“No, I’ve talked enough. What about you? What are you slaving away to become? A doctor?” 

“No, I don’t go to school here. Or anywhere, for that matter. I’m a singer. My friends go here.” 

“Oh, that must be-Wait!” You stared at him. 

“Here it comes.” He groaned playfully and rolled his eyes.

“You’re Shawn Mendes! No way!” You whisper shouted. 

“The one and only.” He smiled, blushing slightly. 

“I don’t know how I didn’t notice! I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan, but you’re super good! And my best friend’s sister is like obsessed with you.” 

“I’ve been going as Ryan at this place though, so don’t tell anyone.” 

“I won’t tell a soul.” You smirked, hoping he would get the reference.

“Are you- Are you quoting Charlie Puth?” He smiled in disbelief.

“Maybe? I mean, I love him dangerously.”  

“Oh no!” He groaned, not trying to hide his smile that hard. 

“I’m sorry, I should stop Puth-ing it. But, I guess I like making you suffer. Are you losing your mind yet? Oh my god, I’m having way too much fun with this! You gotta stop me before I’m up all night throwing these song titles left right and left!” You clutched your stomach as the giggles took over.

“Alright alright, we get it. You like Charlie more than me, don’t need to rub it all in my face.” He exclaimed, laughing along with you.

Neither of you saw Brian and Matt having a conversation about you in the corner of the living room.

“Pay up, Matty boy. Told you he’d talk to her.” Brian smirked.

“He only did it because you urged him!” Matt groaned handing over the 10 dollar bill. 

“Hey, that was never against the rules that we agreed upon!” Brian shrugged, his facial expression smug as ever.
