R U MINE? "I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be; and satisfaction feels like a distant memory"

a/n: instead of blushing when y/n gets embarrassed or flustered , I used "invading eye-contact" as an alternative. + sorry this part might seem really long, might not be able to update for a while

Every other Friday, Andrew and his father either went to the movies or a random restaurant Andrew's father was dying to try. Although, this night was a bit different. His father wasn't able to make it, and instead sent Andrew money to buy take-out at the restaurant his father had been rambling about. As he entered the restaurant, he took a second to check out his surroundings, it looked like a combination of a bar and an 80s restaurant. He took a mental note to check out the Jukebox.

"Didn't think I'd see you here, you're stalking me now?" A familiar voice said, "y/n? you work here?" he asked. "Been working here since the beginning of the year, what brings you here?" she asked. "I'd usually be here with my dad but he wasn't able to make it" he explained, "there goes your partner in crime" she said, earning a small chuckle from him. "Anyways, you ready to order" she asked, "surprise me" he said, "if you say so" she said, relaying the order to chef.

"Didn't know you had a boyfriend y/n" her coworker, Nikolai said, causing her to lightly shove him. "He's not my boyfriend, I just met him last week" she replied, "but you think he's cute?" Nikolai questioned, "yeah, a bit" she admitted. "So do something about it!" He exclaimed, "Jesus, keep your voice down!" she said, the duos conversation was cut short by the chef handing out Andrew's order to y/n. "Orders ready" she said softly, observing his concentrated face as he skipped through each of the songs on the Jukebox. "Thanks," he said handing her money.

It was like a lightbulb flickered over her head as she had most brilliant idea. "Are you free Monday night? There's this movie I'd think you'd like, and I happen to have the blu-ray version of it" she asked. Andrew's mind went blank for a second, "Yeah, I'm free" was all he managed to say, mentally cringing at how he sounded. "Can I get your number then? In case anything comes up" he asked holding out his phone. The duo exchanged numbers, Andrew putting his contact name with a ':)' at the end. "See you Monday" Andrew said, internally celebrating, "Cya!" she said as he exited. "Real smooth, you're gonna have to teach me that line one day" Nikolai teased.

MONDAY (italics = text messages)

Andrew stared at the numbers "511". He debated if he should wait a few more minutes before knocking, or if he should just get it over with. He knocked on the apartment door, and soon y/n unlocked it. He stared at her for a few moments, taking in her appearance. "Hey! you made it" she said with a small smile, as she let him in. He looked around her room, her many skating and academic awards were on a shelf on the left side of her room, along with a small desk with a sewing machine and what looked like a costume. On the wall behind her bed, there were posters of her favorite music artists, as well as figure skaters he didn't recognize. Lastly, the desk by her bed had a bunch of family and baby pictures, followed by cheesecake sleeping on the edge of bed.

"Make yourself at home" She said as she put on the movie, and grabbed a bunch of snacks from her snack drawer. "What's the movie about anyways?" he asked as he laid on the bed, "If I told you, it would be a spoiler" she said as she awkwardly laid beside him. Both of them struggling a bit to lay on the twin size mattress, "for the price we pay for these apartments, I'd think the beds would be a bit bigger" Andrew commented. "You should've brought your mattress over and combined them" she added. Eventually the two settled on a more comfortable position, y/n rested her head on his chest, with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. "You comfortable?" Andrew questioned, "very comfortable" she said, breaking eye-contact with him as she played the movie.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked him, propping herself on her elbow, he nodded in response. "I'm going to assume you enjoy playing the drums, do you think you could live without playing them?" she asked. "No way, I've been playing the drums since I could walk, it would feel weird if I stopped, for whatever reason" he responded, "I got into Schaffer because I wanted to pursue it as a career" he added. "Holy shit! That's amazing, you should give me your autograph, I could resell it when your super famous!" She exclaimed, "Don't get me wrong, it's great school but I'm only an alternate drummer" he sighed. "I wanna earn my spot in the core band" he added, "and you will! Everyone starts somewhere, doesn't matter if you're an alternative or not, doesn't deny the fact that you're capable".

"What's the story with you and skating?" He asked, "Well, it was my mom's idea actually, she put me up for it when I was 6, won my first competition when I was 8, never stopped since" she began. She told him about how it expensive it was, but how much she managed to accomplish. "Sectionals are in 3 months, If I make it the top 4, then I move on to regionals" She added. "Would you mind If I watched you skate at Sectionals?" Andrew asked, now staring at ceiling. "You'd really come?" She said, excitement laced in her voice, "Of course I would" He responded.

"Only on one condition, I get to watch you perform on stage" she reasoned, "Deal" he said. Hours later, the duo finished the movie. "Are you free in 2 weeks, there's this really good pizza place, I'd like to you take you out to" he said. "I should be free," she said, "great, it's a date! If you want it to be, I-". "It's a date," she confirmed, a bright smile on her face, "good luck with drumming, don't overwork yourself!" she added as they walked to the door, "same goes to you, goodnight y/n" he said before exiting.

Present Day

"Are you sure your family will like me?" Andrew asked, "of course they will, they don't have a reason not to!" she responded, "Is attacking my music teacher not enough of a reason?" he countered, "okay first of all, he kind of deserved it, and second, I didn't tell them about that" she said. From his perspective, meeting his girlfriend's family was scarier than performing on stage, or fletcher throwing a music stand at him. His girlfriend's voice snapped him out of his thoughts as she informed him that they've made it. He froze a bit, staring at the brown wooden door as if it insulted him, "hey, you're overthinking, plus this is my dad's side of the family, they're not judgmental" she informed.

Moments later, they were inside the small house and surrounded at a dinner table, the couple sitting next to each other. As usual, her aunties bombarding the two with questions about their career, Andrew still played for Fletcher, becoming the drummer in the core band, performing at bigger venues, as for y/n, she was heading to Nationals with a possible shot in the olympics. Eventually, the big question came "So, how did you two meet?" Her dad asked, "It's kind of a long story" they said in unison and began explaining...

two years before

"Thanks for the ride Eve, I owe you one!" She said as she stepped out of her best friends car, "No problem, see you at practice tomorrow! Eve said as she drove off. As y/n finally reached and unlocked her apartment door, her cat, cheesecake bolted out the room, running down the hall. "Hey! Cheesecake, you little shit, get back here!" she yelled as she chased her cat down the hallways.  After a few minutes of endless chasing, she found cheesecake on the lowest floor entering the drum-room.

As she entered, she made eye contact with the black-haired boy, "is this your cat?" he asked, gesturing to the cat by the ends of his drum-kit, "yeah, sorry about that, he does that sometimes" she responded as she picked it up, "I thought cats weren't allowed in the apartment" he said, although his tone made it seem like he was asking a question. "Well they aren't, but please don't tell anyone, he was a stray and I dont-" 

"It's fine, I don't mind" He replied, a bit amused with his "discovery" of the hidden cat. "Well, what's its name?" he asked, "Cheesecake" she said, "Cheesecake, seriously?" he questioned, "hey! there's a tragic story behind that name you know" she argued, "I would tell you but I'm exhausted and I need to put cheesecake back into my room before I get caught!" she said, "Wait!" he said as she turned, "I got the cat's name before yours" he added, causing her to turn back around, "y/n, and you?". "Andrew" he responded, "Well, goodnight Andrew!" she said as she exited, cheesecake in hand.
