Word Count: 1076

Request: A Quotev user asked me to do a first kiss scenario fic, so here it is!

Author’s Note: Sooo I decided to make this based on Promises, like what would have happened if they had admitted their feelings to one another in high school rather than, well, you can read it and find out! :) (Also this picture of Tyler? Adorable.)

You laughed as your dog went sprinting back across the yard, chasing after the tennis ball you had thrown just moments before. He launched through the air, expertly catching the ball in his mouth and landing in the grass.

“Come here, Fergus!” you called.

The dog came running back over and dropped the ball at your bare feet. You scooped it up and held it out to Tyler.

“You want to throw it?”

He wrinkled his nose at the sight of the slobber-covered ball in your hand, “I’ll pass.”

“If you insist.”

You chucked the ball across the yard again before staring down at your damp hand. With a devilish grin, you reached over and rubbed your hand on Tyler’s shoulder. He immediately ducked away as he realized what you were doing.

“Hey!” he laughed. “That’s gross.”

“It’s just dog slobber.”

“If it’s ‘just dog slobber’, then you can wipe it on your own shirt.”

You shook your head, although it was hard to ignore the pit of nervousness in your stomach. It had only been about a week since you and Tyler had started dating, and you were still trying to figure out exactly how to navigate a relationship. Tyler seemed to have everything figured out, but you managed to embarrass yourself doing something as simple as holding hands.

“Sorry, Ty,” you mumbled.

“It’s alright,” he grinned, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you into his side. “I’ll get you back.”

“Hey!” You lightly elbowed him in the ribs, making him duck away from you yet again.

“You asked for it.”

“Did not!”

“Then why did you rub dog slobber on me?”

You picked up the tennis ball that Fergus had brought back to you and tossed it again, “Because it was funny.”

Tyler rested an arm behind you again, “You have an interesting definition of funny.”

You smiled and drummed your fingers against your legs. Ever since you and Tyler started dating, you had been wondering when you two would kiss. You had never kissed anyone before - family members didn’t count - and you hadn’t been able to stop worrying about what it would be like. Part of you just wanted to get it over with so you would stop being so stressed out about it.

Fergus ran over and dropped the ball at your feet, but didn’t wait for you to throw it again. He simply walked over to the grass and plopped down in it, panting heavily. You laughed and kicked the slobbery ball away from your feet.

“Now what?” Tyler asked.

“I guess we just sit,” you laughed.

“I’m ok with that.”

You lightly tapped your feet against the pavement, enjoying the sunshine. Spring was finally coming to an end and the summer weather was beginning to set in.

“Hey, Y/N?”

You turned to Tyler, “Yeah?”

“I’m, uh, really happy we’re dating.”

“Really?” you said, not even trying to hide the dorky grin on your face. This made Tyler smile too.

“Yeah. I know I’m not always the best at showing it, but I’m glad we are.”

In a moment of bravery, you reached out and grabbed Tyler’s hand, “I’m glad we’re dating too.”

“You know,” he said quietly as he lightly poked at your leg. “We’ve been dating for a little over a week now.”

“Yeah?”

Your heart was pounding so hard that you thought it might go straight through your sternum.

“Um,” Tyler scratched the back of his head with his free hand. “I was kind of wondering if it would be ok for me to kiss you?”

“Kiss me? You want to do that?”

Tyler laughed, “Of course I want to do that.”

“Oh, um, yeah,” you nodded. “You can kiss me.”

“Ok,” Tyler grinned.

He closed his eyes and started to lean forward, but you put a hand to his chest, stopping him halfway.

“Wait,” you said. Tyler opened his eyes and looked at you. “I have no idea what I’m doing.”

“Neither do I,” he giggled.

“What do I do?”

“Just close your eyes and kinda tilt your head to the side.”

You did as Tyler said, “Like that?”

“Yeah, and then - well - I’m going to kiss you, ok?”

“Ok.”

You drew in a shaky breath as you waited for him to close the space between you. He reached up and rested a hand on the side of your face, making you jump a little. His breath was hot on your chin as he laughed a little.

“Just relax, ok?”

“I’m trying,” you giggled.

Tyler answered you by pressing his lips to yours. They were softer than you had expected, especially considering Tyler’s opposition to chapstick. You weren’t entirely sure what to do in return, so you reached out and lightly rested a hand on his knee.

The two of you were interrupted by someone opening the door to the backyard. You practically pushed Tyler away from you as you turned to see who it was.

“Oh, sorry!” your mom said, immediately covering her mouth with her hand. “I was just coming to see if you two wanted anything for lunch!”

“We’re fine, Mom,” you said quickly, avoiding any and all eye contact.

“Alright, let me know if that changes!” she said before closing the door again.

You turned back to Tyler, whose face had turned bright red from the interaction. Both of you immediately started laughing, unable to contain the sheer embarrassment.

“Well that’s burned into my mind forever,” you laughed.

“I think it might be burned into your mom’s memory too.”

You buried your face in your hands, “Oh geez, that was awful.”

“It could have been worse.”

You turned to look at him, “Could it?”

“Definitely.”

You sighed and pressed your forehead to Tyler’s shoulder. He wrapped an arm around you and lightly rubbed your back.

“Hey, at least we got the awkward first kiss over with,” he said.

“You have a point.”

You turned to look up at Tyler, who was staring out over the yard. The sun was highlighting his features, making him look even more beautiful than usual.

“You know, I wouldn’t be opposed to another kiss,” you mumbled.

Tyler turned to look at you, laughing quietly, “No?”

“Nope.”

Tyler’s hand moved to under your chin as you sat up a little straighter. This time, you were the one to lean into him. He smiled as you kissed him.

Turns out there was nothing to worry about, after all.

Love Song Drabbles: I Found

Love Song Series

There is a playlist on Spotify called ‘You and Me’. I have decided to start a loosely affiliated drabble series based on these songs - one for each song. This drabble is part of that series. 

Welcome to ‘Love Songs’.

I Found

Word Count: 1344

Summary: Tyler is expecting you to show up at a major hometown show, but you are missing. Hurt and confused he gets some news he wasn’t ready to handle and finds some feelings he didn’t know he had. TylerxReader

Notes: This drabble is based on the song ‘I Found’ by Amber Run.

Warnings: Mentions of past injuries and hospitals.

Dedication: @ohprettyweeper

“The tickets will be waiting for you at the box office,” you could hear Tyler’s smile through the phone, “so make sure you bring an ID to pick them up.”

“Of course,” you tried to sound excited through the pain.

“And I assumed you would be bringing Marie, so there are two tickets,” his voice changed from excited to concerned.

“Thanks,” you count out the painkillers in your head before picking them up from the counter.

“Are you alright?” his voice was small, “you seem distant.”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” you wince, you weren’t doing as good a job as you thought, “I just have a headache is all.”

“Another one?” his voice was serious now, “you had one just the other day too.”

“It’s just stress from work, is all,” you pop the pills into your mouth, “promise.”

“As long as you are taking care of yourself,” he seemed to relax.

“I am,” you quickly swallowed a glass of water.

“I’m so excited to see you,” Tyler said softly, “it’s been too long.”

“Yeah,” you smiled. It had been almost a year since the last time the two of you had spoken face to face - too long. While you had been close since about your sophomore year of high school, this growing thing between the two of you had never really been addressed. You didn’t keep in touch with other friends from fifteen years ago like you did him, and there was something that wasn’t there before. It sat between the words you did manage to say, like a weight on a scale, tipping your feelings in his direction.

“I’m going to let you go, so you can get some rest, okay?” he yawned.

“Okay,” you resisted the urge to yawn as well.

“Good night, Y/N,” he paused for a moment. “Sleep well, Lollipop.”

You felt your heart skip a beat, he hadn’t used that name for you since before the band had gotten big. It had been years.

“You too, Maverick,” you returned the gesture, hoping it sent some of your feelings silently over the phone.

“See ya.”

“Yeah, see ya,” you hear the silence settle on the other end before lowering your phone from your ear.

You would talk to him tomorrow after the show. You had to. About everything.

Tyler threw his arms in the air, the roar from the crowd washed over the stage like a breaking wave.

Another glance over his shoulder, towards the side of the stage - the tech shook his head.

Feeling his heart drop a little lower, his fingers found the keys for the next song and he shook his head, a little harder than normal to adjust his thoughts. He needed to be here, to be in the now - these people had come for a show and he would give them one. They were important and should be his priority. But the empty stage left, and the unclaimed backstage passes slowly ate away at him as the night wore on.

“This next song is for my main man, Josh,” he pushed through, he always did.

“What’s going on, man?” Josh wiped down his face with the white towel. “You’ve been off tonight.”

“I’m sorry,” Tyler’s fingers massaged his forehead. “She didn’t show up.”

“Y/N?” Josh frowned as his shoulders fell, “so, Marie didn’t either?”

“No,” Tyler’s voice was quiet.

“You should call them,” Josh put the towel down and stretched his sides, “something might have happened to them.”

“Yeah,” Tyler dug through his dressing room bag, “I just hope they’re alright.”

“I’m sure it’s nothing serious-” Josh was cut short by the look on his bandmates face, “what is it?”

“I have sixteen missed calls from Marie,”  he rubbed the back of his head as he pulled up the voicemails, “I think I might need to go.”

“Yeah man,” Josh watched Tyler pace as he listened to the panicked sound in Marie’s voice over the phone.

Tyler’s eyes were wide as he jumped between messages. “She’s at Wexner,” he cut off Marie’s last message, “let’s go.”

He paused in the doorway of the small hospital room. It was dark except for the small fluorescent light near the bed. Marie turned in her chair to look at them, there were tears in her eyes. She bit her bottom lip before turning back around.

Tyler slowly crossed the room. Stopping at the end of the bed.

And I’ll use you as a warning sign. That if you talk enough sense, then you’ll lose your mind.

“She looks so small,” his voice was barely audible. The number of things hooked up to your body was overwhelming. “What happened?”

“They think she blacked out,” Marie’s hands were in her lap, she was wringing them together, “she ran a light and hit a tree.”

And I’ll use you as a focal point. So I don’t lose sight of what I want.

“Blacked out?” Josh stood behind Marie, resting a hand on her shoulder gently, “is that something she does?”

“It’s happened a few times before,” Marie glanced up at him. Tears ran fresh down her face, “I should have taken an hour off work,” she began to gasp for air, fighting back sobs, “I should have driven her. She had been having headaches, I knew it wasn’t good for her to be driving alone.”

“Hey, hey,” Josh came around the chair, “this isn’t your fault.” He took her hands in his.

Marie was trying to regain composure.

And I've moved further than I thought I could But I missed you more than I thought I would

Tyler’s hands slowly found their way towards yours, “she had a headache last night.”

“Did she?” Marie wiped her cheeks, “you should tell the nurse when she comes back. She didn’t mention it to me, so I wasn’t sure when her last one was.”

“Why was she getting headaches?” Tyler’s fingers wrapped around yours, “what are they from?”

“She was in a really bad car accident almost a year ago,” Marie’s hands squeezed Josh’s, “the Doctor’s aren’t sure why she keeps having them, or why she’s blacking out. She’s been getting tests done.”

“Why didn’t she say anything to me?” Tyler’s eyes began to fill with tears. He continued to stare at your face, all bruised and cut up from the collision.

And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge Of how much to give and how much to take

“You were touring,” Marie sighed, “she didn’t want to burden you. It seems silly now, but she was so determined not to be a bother. Not to dissuade you from what you were doing.”

Tyler clenched his jaw, “yeah that sounds like her.”

Marie stood up, “I’m going to go get some coffee. Give you some time with her.”

“I’ll go with you,” Josh trailed after her. “That is,” he paused and glanced at Tyler, “if you’ll be okay.”

He only nodded.

I'll use you as a warning sign That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

“You’re an idiot,” he mumbled to the room, “you should have told me.”

He leaned forward and rested his forehead against the back of your hand.

“If you don’t wake up from this,” his voice caught in his throat, “I’ll never forgive you, you know.”

He felt some pressure as your hand gently squeezed his. He looked up. Your eyes were still closed but he could tell you were listening.

“I sang a song for you tonight,” he ran his finger tips over your knuckles, “it’s an old one, I’m sure you’ll remember it.”

He inhaled and began to sing, his voice quivering, “The only difference between life and dying, is one is trying, that's all we're called to do. So try to love me and I'll try to save you. Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride, I will make you believe you are lovely.”

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be Right in front of me Talk some sense to me
