@intrcducingme sent: 😴  -  a  starter  where  my  muse  is  comforting  your  muse  after  a  nightmare.  ( add  + reverse  for  your  muse  to  comfort  mine )

normally  sonny  didn't  have  nightmares.  if  anything,  if  she  was  extremely  exhausted  she  would  sleep  walk  and  destroy  things.  however,  this  wasn't  the  case.  her  nightmare  filled  with  the  faces  of  people  that  she  loved  betraying  her.  leaving  her  for  the  worst.  it  was  enough  to  cause  her  to  wake  up  gasping.  feeling  the  tears  spill  from  her  cheeks  as  her  gaze  scanned  the  area.  realizing  she  has  fallen  asleep  in  the  prop  house.  at  the  same  time,  nate  wandered  in  and  almost  immediately  came  to  comfort  her.  in  which  she  sniffled  and  pulled  her  usual  excuse,  “i'm  fine..  i'm  okay.”

[snnydcysa]

sonny  was  giddy  to  be  able  to  have  a  brand  new  song  and  doing  it  with  nate.  she  always  admired  his  musicality.  almost  a  musical  genius  in  her  eyes.  not  to  mention,  she  has  never  connected  with  someone  through  music  so  well  with  him.  with  a  grin  on  her  face,  she  nodded,  “yeah,  i'm  down  for  that.”  with  a  skip  in  her  step,  she  stepped  inside  the  booth  and  placed  one  of  the  headphones  on  while  pulling  up  her  lyrics  on  her  phone,  making  sure  she  knew  exactly  what  was  going  to  be  sung.

❛ i am glad you liked it. i thought this was the best song to offer you. the others... didn't sound as great for collaboration purposes. ❜ well, the others didn't have the same vibe this one did, and the lyrics weren't necessarily suited to her as these ones were. stepping towards the round table, nate grabs his own scribbled sheets and holds up what is his idea of how the song will be put together. ❛ i thought that maybe we could both step in, actually. i saw this thing that said first takes can be very useful when it comes to arrangements and figuring out what goes where. what do you think? ❜ and he's perfectly aware that he won't be able to see into that room if he's in the sound booth alone — and he wants to see her. nate wants to look her in the eye and sing her exactly what he hasn't been able to say, express thus far. ❛ i gotta say... i have been here many times, but today, i am pretty damn nervous. ❜

“ — i had to drop by to wish you the bestest of birthdays. oh, and sonny? we're hitting the studio together soon. i have some ideas that i think you'll like. for now though, i bought you this— ” nate holds out a black guitar case. “ it's... pretty obvious what it is... but i hope you'll like it. check it out. ”

sonny opens her inbox for birthday things!

“nathanial.”  sonny  greeted  teasingly  as  nate  appeared.  getting  up  from  where  she  sat  to  meet  him  half  way  as  he  spoke  about  her  birthday.  “are  you  using  my  birthday  to  get  me  to  collab  with  you?  you  could've  just  asked  me.”  continuing  to  tease  him  with  a  grin,  her  eyes  went  to  the  guitar  case  before  looking  at  him  in  shock.  “wait..  did  you  get  me  a  guitar?”  a  wide  grin  appeared  on  her  lips  as  she  took  the  case  and  carefully  opened  it.  admiring  the  instrument  that  glistened  under  the  lights.  “nate!  i  love  it!”  she  squeaked  with  excitement  as  she  wrapped  her  arms  around  him,  hugging  him  in  a  tight  embrace.  “thank  you!”

[snnydcysa]

was  she  alright?  well..  she  was  going  to  pretend  that  she  was  as  she  did  every  second  of  everyday.  acting  like  she  isn't  spreading  herself  too  thin  nor  overworking  herself.  it  was  a  lot,  but  sonny  felt  the  need  to  prove  herself.  at  least  for  tonight,  she  could  forget  about  it.  until  tomorrow  morning. 

“plug  in  my  phone?  oo,  letting  me  take  charge.  knew  you  would  cave  one  day.”  obviously  sonny  was  teasing  as  she  began  to  smile  again.  plugging  in  her  phone  as  she  scrolled  through  what  she  should  play.  once  she  decided,  she  pressed  play  before  setting  her  phone  down.  looking  out  the  window  before  turning  her  gaze  at  nate,  “tell  me..  anything  new  with  you?”

❛ don't worry about it. i'm here now, and you're alright, that's what matters. ❜ and he needed to get some fresh air really. he was keeping everything under the veil, but he was keen on venturing into a solo album and inspiration... just wasn't hitting him lately. he was stuck right in the middle of this song, and maybe... maybe she was the key to getting that writer's block out the way.

nate shakes his head at her question. he wasn't going to let her off the hook this time. stuck with him for the next couple hours. reaching inside his pocket for the keys, he unlocks the doors as he circles over to the driver's seat. ❛ are you kidding? make that two kids meals. ❜ he glances over the roof of the car to her side, flashing her a smile before he settles into his seat. ❛ the aux cable is in the glove box, plug your phone in if you'd like. ❜

hearing  that  he  texted  her,  she  pulled  her  phone  out  and  noticed  a  few  from  him  before  glanced  back,  “shit,  nate.  i'm  sorry.”  the  last  thing  she  ever  wanted  to  do  was  worry  anybody.  it  was  still  taking  some  used  to  when  it  came  to  people  worrying  about  her.  considering  she's  the  one  worrying  about  others  and  giving  her  all  to  everyone.

“you're  not  going  to  let  me  go  off  on  my  own,  are  you?”  there  was  now  a  hint  of  a  smile  on  her  face.  shaking  her  head  as  they  got  closer  to  his  car.  if  he  was  set  on  being  around  her  for  the  night,  then  there  was  no  changing  his  mind.  she's  learned  that  a  long  time  ago.  “alright,  mcdonalds  and  a  late  night  drive  it  is.  but  this  diva  wants  the  kids  meal.  i  heard  they're  giving  out  little  bobble  heads.”

well. damn that question. ❛ actually, i came by to see you. ❜ nate reveals with a small smile as he leads the way out towards his car. ❛ i had texted a while ago, but you didn't reply... ❜ so he worried something might've happened. he was thankful he'd come to take a look for himself. sonny looked like she needed some mood uplifting, and he knew just how to do that. ❛ what if we stopped by the mcdonald's drive through? i'll drop you off at home afterwards? or, if you're still up for it, we could just go for a late night drive. ❜ he shouldn't really eat junk food, but once wouldn't hurt. ❛ what do you think, diva? up for it? ❜

“nate…”  unable  to  get  a  word  in  as  he  stood  offering  his  hand.  not  giving  her  much  of  a  choice  as  she  looked  up  at  him.  ever  since  shane  guest  starred  on  so  random  and  introduced  her  to  him  and  jason,  she  found  a  little  family  with  them.  maybe  the  first  ever  friend  group  she  made  in  hollywood  that  didn't  tear  her  down  left  and  right.  which  explains  why  she  has  hung  out  with  them  so  much.  but  they  didn't  know  that.

with  a  heavy  sigh,  she  simply  nodded  as  she  took  his  hand  and  pulled  herself  off  of  the  sofa  and  followed  him  out  of  the  prop  house.  not  really  wanting  to  talk  about  her  nightmare.  “why  are  you  at  the  studio,  anyway?  if  you  left  something,  i  could've  brought  it  to  you.”  completely  changing  the  subject  as  she  walked  out  into  the  night  with  him  towards  the  car.

❛ no, you're not fine. ❜ nate approached her, albeit rather slowly. he waits to see if his approach is welcome, and when he sees that it is, nate sits next to her and goes as far as reaching out his hand to her forearm giving it a reassuring squeeze. he's aware she doesn't exactly open up an awful lot about what troubles her, but he still wants to comfort her regardless. ❛ what happened? do you need me to take you home? i drove here. i'm literally parked outside. ❜ nate doesn't really wait for an answer before shooting up and offering her his hand. ❛ come on sonny. you can tell me all about it on the way home, or anywhere else you'd like to go. ❜

[snnydcysa]

sonny  spent  a  lot  of  time  by  herself  figure  out  some  lyrics  to  fit  with  nate's  track.  she  was  super  excited  to  be  collaborating  with  him  considering  the  two  have  been  talking  about  it  for  awhile.  the  time  has  officially  come  and  she  knocked  on  the  studio  door.  waiting  until  he  appeared  behind  it  and  she  greeted  him  with  her  signature  big  bright  smile.  “yup!  you  told  me  the  song  is  sort  of  a  sexy  vibe,  so  i  definitely  tried  to  stick  with  it.  i  also  love  the  track,  this  is  going  to  be  good!”  she  spoke  gleefully  as  she  stepped  inside,  “so  how  do  you  want  to  start  this?  do  you  want  to  record  your  verse?  my  verse?  chorus?”

after gifting sonny ( @snnydcys ) a guitar for her birthday and sharing that he had some ideas for them to hit the studio, nate was a mixture of excitement and nervousness when the day actually came around. his paper work sat in front of him — words scribbled on to several sheets with arrows pointing in several directions as he tried to make sense of it. he had something, and he wanted to show her. when a knock on the door was heard, nate practically shot up, removed his headphones and headed towards the door. ❛ hey! good timing. i was just going over some touches on my end. did you manage to put something together with the instrumental i sent you? ❜ he could've sent a sample of his own verse and chorus, but he chose not to — she had to hear it from him.
