Youngblood Lyrics That Alter My Brain Chemistry
Youngblood
"surrender my everything cause you made me believe you're mine" "you beat me at my own damn game" "lately our conversations end like its the last goodbye, then one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times"
Want You Back
"wish i could say something, something that doesn't sound insane" "lately i don't trust my brain" "no matter where i go, i'm always gonna want you back" "no matter how long you're gone, i'm always gonna want you back" "i know you know i will never get over you" "you know even when i say i've moved on, i still dream for you" "even though i know that you're gone all i think about is where i went wrong"
Lie To Me
"remember thinking that i got this right" "and now i wish we never met cause you're too hard to forget" "i know that you don't, but if i ask you if you love me, i hope you lie to me"
Valentine
"i love the light in your eyes and the dark in your heart" "you love our permanent chase and the bite of our bark" "got nothing but love for you fall more in love everyday" "fueling the fire until we combust"
Talk Fast
"i don't wanna think about a moment with you, i'm kinda hoping for forever" "romance, it won't last, i'm okay with that" "i'll take what i can get from you" " i want your love in every flavor"
Moving Along
"thinking bout you lots lately" "is it bad that i'm wishing you're still broken? that you haven't found fish in the ocean?" "i know i'm the stupid one" "is it wrong if i tell you that i love ya, even though i'd never do it when i'm sober?" "scared of moving on, but you're already gone"
If Walls Could Talk
"when the doors are all closing, it's bound to get loud cause all these bodies are hoping to get addicted to sound" "not everything is so primitive, but i'm giving in" "i wouldn't dare let you down" "you're a queen but uncrowned"
Better Man
"new friends again and again, gone when the morning comes" "demons i tried to defend but i couldn't get enough" "thought i'd never change, then you come and change it all" "i swear i'd die for your love"
More
"why can't we choose our emotions?" "i just wanna get back to us cause we used to have more" "i know we break but we're not broken"
Why Won't You Love Me
"you imagine when you close your eyes you're with me on the other side" "why wont you love me?" "you say you can't wait, you need to make a change" "you told me 'its so hard to be lonely'" "can you tell me why i hold on to you and you hold on to me?"
Woke Up In Japan
"it was more than just a neon weekend" "time is up, the end is just a dream" "feeling low, feeling lonely" "its enough to let the night let go of me"
Empty Wallets
"'stop trying so hard' is what you said to me" "get too high when i'm high" "take the high with the low" "we got the whole night won't you live it with me" "sugar coated brain" "the fluid aint to blame for the sugar coated pain" "i always believed in second chances" "i always believed in you"
Ghost Of You
"if i can dream long enough, you'll tell me i'll be just fine" "so i drown it out, like i always do" "and i chase it down with a shot of truth" "we're too young, too dumb, to know things like love" "my feet don't dance like they did with you"
Monster Among Men
"the stupid truth is i'm so bad for you" "i won't break your heart again" "fragile, always bout to fall just like sand castles"
Babylon
"i thought we had a place, just our place, our home base, my headspace" "we said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go" "burnt too bright, now the fires gone, watch it all fall down: babylon" "i wish we had a clue to start new, a white moon, no residue"

obs drabble request for when jk and oc ditch class for the day to do something spontaneous 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
our beloved summer; a drabble
Tumblr media
"I can't believe I let you talk me into ditching class."
"Y/N, it's an elective class. And you told me you handed in your midterm paper last week. You'll live."
"I would've preferred to maintain a perfect attendance rate!" You roll your eyes, but you still settle down next to him on a bench in the middle of this empty park near the store that Jungkook just dragged you to half an hour ago. It's a beautiful spring day, flowers blossoming all around you, painting everything in vibrant colors, eclipsing the residual melancholy of winter. Part of you is glad that you let him kidnap you from class; you prefer this to being stuck indoors for most of the afternoon anyway. "Whatever. Take your photo."
Your boyfriend grins brightly like a child in a candy store, admiring the ring on your finger before he kisses your hand. The fleeting feeling of his lips on your skin makes you soften, eases the harmless furrow between your brows that never held much annoyance in the first place.
The thick clay ring on your finger is heavy and uncomfortable, but you have to admit it's cute. Silly and might be more appropriate for a 7-year-old child, but it's cute. It's adorned with SpongeBob's face, two buck teeth and giant doe eyes and all. You would've loved shit like this when you were a kid.
He's wearing a matching one on his finger too, though his is pink instead of yellow, Patrick Star instead of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Jungkook holds his polaroid camera with one arm outstretched, while his free hand raises to fit into the photo, showcasing his ring for the shot. You scooch closer to him, mimicking his pose to display your yellow accessory. It takes him to a brief moment to adjust the angle, and before he snaps the photo, you press your lips to his cheek. You feel his bunny grin widen, and for a second you worry that the brilliance of it might just blind the camera.
The photo comes out a bit blurry, a bit out of focus, though it still managed to capture your happy faces and the rings, the carefree crinkle of his eyes and the pink tint on his cheeks. You know instantly that this is one of your favorite photos that you two will ever take.
"Okay, so what are we doing now?" you ask, watching him tuck the polaroid safely into his wallet.
"I don't know. What do you wanna do?"
"What do you mean you don't know? You abducted me."
He shrugs casually. "We could just sit here then. Enjoy the sun."
"You abducted me just to sit around?"
"Stop saying I abducted you. I'm your boyfriend."
You make a face, as if to try to weasel the last word in and argue that yes, Jungkook did abduct you today. Yes, he's also your boyfriend. Both of these things can be true.
Nonetheless, you still let your head rest upon his shoulder, still let his arm wound around your frame to hold you closer. You don't remember the last time you allowed yourself to be in the sun and enjoy a nice day out without worrying about getting ahead of schoolwork or internships. It's nice, like time has stopped for a while just for you to relish the feeling of warm sunshine on your skin.
"I get sleepy if I stay in the sun for too long," you say, already sensing it creeping up from behind your eyelids.
"Then sleep. Just do nothing for the rest of the day," he murmurs, angling his face to the right so he can press a kiss against your forehead. "I know you barely slept last night."
You didn't tell him that you did, in fact, stay up until 5:30AM, hunched over your notebook, trying to finish a piece that you wanted to submit for an internship application. The only person you did tell was Taehyung, when you texted him in the middle of the night with a bunch of keyboard smashes to complain about how tired you were.
You call his name softly, as gentle as the cherry blossom petal that sways in front of you before it falls to the ground. "Did you get me to skip class just so I would take a nap?"
Jungkook's reply is immediate, a half-steady No, but you know he's lying. He has a tell when he lies, one that makes the end of his sentences come out with a tiny lilt, makes his voice go just a note higher.
Looking down at your hands resting next to each other, you keep your lips pursed as your chest tightens. He'd convinced you to miss class because he knew you wouldn't do it on your own accord just to stay home and catch up on sleep. The rings catch on some light, the pit of your stomach catches on some butterflies. Jungkook is warmer than spring itself.
You intertwine your fingers and close your eyes, mostly because you feel them start to burn and you'd rather not dwell on that thought right now. You'd rather focus on the weight of the ring on your finger and how comforting your hand feels in his, how his thumb rubs over your skin back and forth like he always does.
The thought that Jungkook cares about you enough to make up a dumb excuse just so you would care about yourself more - you'll have to shelve it away for later, to mull over when you're alone.
"Love you," you say quietly, squeezing his hand once.
More petals fall. Another kiss pressed against your forehead. "I love you too."

Nothing in Particular | 1 - Thoughtless Behavior & Tender Hearts
Tumblr media
Pairing: Omota Uramichi x F!Reader
Summary: A series of unexpected encounters and misunderstandings causes you to fill a large and gaping hole in Uramichi's love life.
“Now remember, kids, it’s important to take responsibility for one’s actions. You may not realize that your thoughtless behavior has consequences, especially when it involves the hearts of others!”
Minors and blank blogs DNI! You will be blocked!
What a waste of time, Uramichi thought, as Usahara finished off his last beer of the night, slurring his words as he passed the near-empty pitcher to one of the guys who worked on sound mixing. Yet again, he was dragged to another after-shoot party. He forgot what their excuse for celebrating was this time–the last ep before their pathetic winter break (which naturally was actually in the peak of summer)?–but whatever it was, was reason enough to go out and stay out for as long as possible. The studio would be closed for a shocking week straight. 
Swirling the leftover foam in his cup around, he thought of all the things he could be doing. All of the fulfilling, exciting, better things he could be doing aside from getting drinks with his co-workers. First, there was the gym. Second, there was… His mind turned black as he drew a blank. Second, there was… He took a sip of foam.
Surely there had to be something better than this.
And yet!
He thought of everything he had going on in his life–a job that constantly asked too much of him, an apartment he lived in alone, no pets, no partner, no family.
Well, shit.
Maybe he got too ahead of himself.
“I’m going out for a smoke,” he excused himself, hoping that he could make a quick escape after. It was easy to shake off the half-hearted ‘stay for another round’s’ and ‘just one more drink’s when he was determined to get home.
“Hey Uramichi!” A voice called out from the booth right before the exit.
He sighed, pausing for a second as he tried to decide on whether or not he should act as if he didn’t hear her. He could find something better to do once he was home.
“I know you’re deciding on if you should ignore me or not!”
He turned around to be greeted by a shit-faced Utano. He vaguely remembered her wailing about her boyfriend going on a short comedy circuit around Chiba Prefecture and how he thought it would be best if he went alone (with her wallet, of course).
“Have you met my friend?”
From the corner seat, you gave him a wave.
He gave you a curt nod. “Well, I did now, so I’ll take my leave.”
You weren’t sure what possessed you to finally take Utano up on her offer of grabbing after work drinks. Maybe today’s work was tougher than you thought. You’d gotten so used to the monotony of a 9-5 (more like a 6-5 since you also dealt with overseas clients) that not much phased you–or maybe you stopped caring and just clocked in every day for your paycheck. You weren’t sure when your life got so boring, but when you saw Utano’s text, you couldn’t help but think it was exactly what you needed to make life a little more interesting.
What you weren’t expecting was for her to invite you to after work drinks with the rest of her co-workers.
You thought of yourself as relatively outgoing and fun, but now under the pressure of making a good impression on your friend’s co-workers, you were stressed by the nuances of social interaction. Which meant you had more drinks than you intended.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa~” Utano sung. “So rude! Hey Uramichi, how bout you keep my dear friend company while I make a veeeeeery important phone call. Who knows! Maybe I’ll come back as an engaged woman!”
Per usual, Uramichi didn’t have enough time to decline the whims of others, and she pushed him into the booth beside you, skipping out with her phone in her hand, quickly searching for her boyfriend’s name. She was humming the tune of a common wedding song.
The space between you was awkward, too close for strangers but if he moved to the space opposite of you, surely you’d see it as an insult. Instead, Uramichi chose to pour himself a shot of sake.
When you were certain Utano was out of earshot, you turned to him and said, “We both know that won’t be the case.” Uramichi was already on his second shot to kill this uncomfortable situation. He set his cup down. Right. You were talking about Utano. “So should we leave before she comes back in a bad mood?”
Finally, someone here was being sensible!
Without a thought, he dragged you along with him lest he get stopped again.
The night air brought him back to his senses as he realized how tightly he gripped your wrist. You were slightly breathless with your hair in disarray, reminding him to tone down on his athleticism when dragging others around. You were patting your hair down in an attempt to tame it, and it was under the streetlights that he finally took a good look at you. Damn, you were cute. Really cute. Quickly, he let go of your wrist as his ears burnt up in embarrassment.
“I, uhh, sorry,” he mumbled, quickly realizing he didn’t catch your name. He gave you a slight bow.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Uramichi. Uramichi Omota.”
You couldn’t help but laugh. The man had dragged you out of the izakaya without a second thought, pushing past the rest of his co-workers, griping about how he dreads it when he hears his name since that usually meant that someone wanted something from him. So you knew his name since you heard it at least twenty times before escaping.
Matching his manners, you gave him your name.
“I’m headed towards the convenience store a few blocks away,” you told him, pointing out the way, “so I guess this is where we part ways.” All that running had killed your buzz, but you wouldn’t tell him that directly.
“Unless maybe you’d like to go with me?” Okay, maybe your buzz wasn’t completely dead.
Normally you wouldn’t make such an offer to a stranger, but there was something about this man that made you want to put him in your pocket and take him with you as you ran errands. He was handsome, yes, but more than that, he seemed… Not quite pitiful, no. If anything, you’d describe him as a doll that was never played with–pretty and pristine yet there was an air of loneliness that wouldn’t go away. Okay, maybe he was a bit pitiful but you also thought that it wouldn’t be too bad if you spent more time together.
Uramichi didn’t even glance at you as you spoke, and you wondered if it was a bad idea to even make such a suggestion until finally he spoke, agreeing with nonchalance.
Rather than letting your walk be filled with the sound of your footsteps as you walked side-by-side, you talked. He seemed like the type that wouldn’t mind.
“I really like this convenience store,” you said, “since they let you drink alcohol in their outdoor seating. Not many places let you do that nowadays, so I was happy to find one near me.”
You were right. It was a rare find nowadays. During the summer months when he stayed late at the studio, sometimes Uramichi craved a drink outdoors instead of his lonely apartment. This konbini didn’t seem too far from his place either. He wondered if you lived in the same neighborhood.
“What, no way!” You exclaimed as you eyed the drink aisle. A bright bold poster hung above the fridge, stating that there was a buy one get one free sale on Strong Zero. Making your way towards the back, you hoped that they had your favorite flavor.
Going at a slower pace, Uramichi walked through the aisles. The sign out front was deceiving. The convenience store was called Law & Sons with an inverted color scheme of the chain konbini Lawson’s. The goods inside were typical of a convenience store though, and he made his way towards you.
Armed with a small basket, it was filled with six cans of the shochu highball. Noticing his gaze, you explained, “Since this place is independently owned, the owner’s nice enough to order exactly what you want if you put in a request. This is the closest konbini that sells my favorite flavor, and I like to stock up on ‘em... I wasn’t gonna drink them all right now.”
“I’m not really one to judge,” was all he said. But wasn’t he just looking at your basket with judgment right now?
Sitting down with your drinks and some snacks, you told Uramichi that now was where you’d part ways for real. But he was giving you that look again, like he didn’t want to go home quite yet. It’s funny how his face never matched his words. How could you abandon him?
“Have you ever had one of these before?” You asked, pushing your open can towards him. You took it as a no since he sat down across from you and took a sip.
“I wasn’t really planning on drinking today,” you said, glugging down a good third of a new can, “but here I am!” You wiped your mouth with the back of your hand. “Sometimes it’s easier to just have a few drinks instead of reflecting on how I’ve disappointed the little kid with big dreams that I once was.”
It was unnerving how you could say something so dark with a smile on your face. Was this how others felt around him?
“It can be hard,” he finally said, “dealing with the disappointment of how our lives have ended up. Sometimes, I like to think that our past selves are okay with our decisions though, that they understand every decision we had to make in order to see tomorrow.”
Those earthen eyes of his looked honey sweet under the glow of night’s lights, or maybe the Strong Zero finally hit you. He seemed so earnest about his words, and it was cute, if not a bit too serious of a conversation with a stranger you were just sharing a drink with.
“Thanks! Your words were very…”
Uramichi tried to mentally finish your sentence before you–dark, disturbing, odd. 
“Kind.”
Oh? Oh, oh, oh. The unexpected compliment pushed its way past Uramichi’s walls and kicked down the door to his heart.
Rifling through your bag, you pulled out two more of the alcoholic beverages.
“So should we drink to them?” You asked. “Our past selves and us who are out here surviving?”
Several hours of idle chatter and salty snacks later, Uramichi walked beside you despite your protests.
“I’m hardly even buzzed now,” you whined, “which means I’m perfectly capable of walking myself home.”
In the hours you spent together, you realized the man had a strong sense of responsibility and wouldn’t take no for an answer. You used all of your best excuses too–you were in your 30s and a fully grown and independent woman. Even if it was out of duty, it was still sweet that he came with you.
After telling him your address, he mentioned that it was only a couple of blocks west of his. You weren’t sure if this was a lie to make you feel better about his detour home. He seemed like the honest type though.
At least he didn’t have to drag you up any stairs since you lived on the first floor.
Walking up to your building, Uramichi assessed the area as you pointed out your place as the one in the back corner. It was quiet but dark, peaceful but lonely. Would this be a good place for him to move to? It seemed like this area wouldn’t get that many door-to-door marketers. He was tired of getting woken up early on his days off.
So lost in his thoughts was Uramichi, that your voice startled him.
“I said thank you,” you repeated yourself.
And now it wasn’t your voice that startled him but your lips on his.
Was it pathetic that he couldn’t even remember the last time he kissed someone, let alone fucked? It’s not like he was trying–and he definitely wasn’t trying as hard as Usahara–but damn, the reality of his unpopularity was starting to settle in.
Even though his memory was faulty and his thoughts were dark, at the very least, his body remembered what to do. One hand snaked down to your lower back, pressing your body to his while the other braced himself on your door. He felt more than his heart beat when you pulled him closer, making sure the kiss wouldn’t break.
And as suddenly as it started, it stopped at the sound of something rustling at the other end of the corridor. You pulled apart and hastily tried to make yourself presentable. Until you realized that the noise came from a stray cat.
You both took it as your sign to part.
“See you around, Michi.”
And with that, your door slammed shut, leaving behind a flustered man.
Let’s go out to dinner! On me! As an apology for ditching you the other night!!! (✿◦’ᴗ˘◦)♡
The stars must have aligned that night to work out in your favor. Utano had apparently run off after her phone call with her boyfriend didn’t go as planned, meaning you didn’t have to explain why you left with Uramichi and what had happened after.
Meet me at my workplace! Should be getting off early ✰
You grimaced. She was really taking advantage of your flexible schedule since you worked partially remote. But still, you texted her back, asking for her address.
After you closed the door on Uramichi that night, you’ve died a bit every day since as you replayed your mortifying behavior. Who just randomly kisses someone for being nice to them?! And doesn’t even have the courtesy to speak to them after?! A part you half-hoped that maybe Uramichi just shrugged off the kiss. He was good-looking enough that maybe this might not have been an uncommon event for him. As your brain tried to lessen your impending meltdown, you might have grown somewhat delusional.
“Hey, sorry! Seems like the director wants me on standby for a bit,” Utano apologized as she led you on the set.
You knew she worked on a children’s educational program but you never really looked into it aside from what the show was called. It seemed overstimulating with the lights, music, and children running around. This chaotic environment suited her though.
“We just have to hang back until Uramichi’s segment is done,” she explained. A tall, younger man who was dressed in an equally bright fashion stood on her other side. She introduced him as Iketeru, the other song leader.
It was surprising how chipper and musical Uramichi’s voice could be as he interacted with the children guests. Everyone had a work voice, you reasoned, remembering how some of your overseas clients mentioned how happy you sounded over the phone.
“Now do some backflips!” The director barked.
“But that has nothing to do with this segment…”
You turned to Utano and Ikeru who were unphased by their boss’s orders, deciding to stay quiet instead of asking if this was a normal request.
To your surprise, Uramichi complied despite his comment of protest, and your jaw dropped at his athleticism. He had mentioned being an exercise leader, but was it normal for them to do stunts like these on kids shows?
When he landed, Uramichi noticed an unexpected visitor on set and was grateful that he only noticed you now. 
The kiss had been bothering him the entire week that he was off. He was torn over texting Utano for your number and didn’t want to bother her during their precious time off work. It would have been creepy if he showed up at your place unannounced. The thought of frequenting that konbini you went to seemed even weirder.
Most of all, he was hurt that you didn’t seem intent on reaching out to him after. Did that kiss even mean anything to you? Was he just some guy? Usahara had mentioned how frightening city girls could be, but Uramichi didn’t realize how out of touch he’d been with the dating scene.
Like the professional he was, he turned towards the children who were giving him varying degrees of attention.
“Now remember, kids, it’s important to take responsibility for one’s actions. You may not realize that your thoughtless behavior has consequences, especially when it involves the hearts of others!”
“Whoa, did he get dumped?” One of the children asked.
“No way, I don’t think girls like him like that.”
“Isn’t he too old to date? I thought people just gave up and accepted singlehood after a certain age.”
His shoulders drooped. This group was extra critical today.
“Is he talking about me?” You whispered to Utano.
“What?” She asked in total confusion. “No, he’s always like that. Why would he be talking about you?”
“Um, he was looking directly at me as he was saying that…”
She looked at you knowingly, and you were nervous about her figuring out the truth. She nodded. “I forgot that you’re unfamiliar with the entertainment business. We’re standing behind the camera. It might seem like Uramichi is looking at you, but he’s looking at the camera. Besides, he always looks like that–with that dead-eyed fish stare.”
You made the mistake of fessing up to the truth despite knowing how loud she could get.
“Wait, what?! How can I be a matchmaker when I can’t even finalize my own perfect match?” She ranted. It seemed like she cared more about her own position rather than the situation you had gotten yourself into. “If I have one more friend that gets married before I do…!” 
“Uramichi oniisan?” One of the children asked. “Is this what you meant about thoughtless behavior having consequences?
Iketeru and some other set members had to usher Utano back to her dressing room to settle her down. You were left awkwardly standing alone.
“Not quite,” he smiled at them before catching your eyes.
Oh, he was definitely talking about you.
Tumblr media
A/N: So I just binged Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan (both the anime and manga!) and the moment Uramichi came on screen, this man has bewitched me body and soul. This series is so relatable for all the burnt out working adults out there and had me laughing at every moment. Naturally, I had to turn my maladaptive daydreams of Uramichi into written word.

Kiwi
Summary: Harry and y/n meet after a long time. Harry sees that y/n’s the same yet also very different from the girl he first set eyes on.
famous!harry ; part one
warnings: mention of alcohol, substances, abuse, sex
Tumblr media
Harry felt his heart rip to shreds and break apart as he saw he you leave. Albeit he wasted no time in reminding himself that he shouldn’t feel this way. He kept on chanting things like I don’t like her, I don’t like being around her, she’s obnoxious, her head’s too far up her ass.
The real tragedy was that Harry had dated the most affluent of all women, beautiful models and actresses yet he found himself peering at Sarah’s phone everytime it rang, hoping it would be you.
He would dream of you, consciously and subconsciously. It were as if every fibre in Harry’s body told him that he missed you and how your skin felt next to his, and Harry being as arrogant as possible only brushed off the feeling.
Harry wondered about you, where you were and what your were doing at times. He knew you were touring with 5 Seconds Of Summer. He knew you had helped them write their album, Youngblood. Harry had played that album out of curiosity and immediately recognised your work which consisted of youngblood, want you back and empty wallets.
He had fallen into a new and mudane routine, one of checking everyone’s stories and posts on Instagram. Harry happened to check Luke Hemming’s private account, and he saw Polaroid’s of you.
In one, you were naked lying on your stomach as a white blanket only covered you up to the curve your spine, little modesty but enough to cover your ass. In another, Luke had an arm snaked around your waist with a smile etched on his face as you laughed with a hand covering your face. And in the last polariod, your back was against Luke’s chest, his hands around your waist as you lean towards him. It seemed as if your were about to kiss him.
Harry couldn’t sleep that night.
And that’s how the intial steps of engineering Fine Line took place, with sleepless nights and daydreams of you.
—————————————
Fine Line in a single word was an absolute and utter success. Harry felt as if he had been catapulted straight into intense limelight and scrutiny. Everything he did was placed under a microscope, although he was used to it by now.
Harry hummed the melody of She, one of his favourite songs in the album. The muse, undoubtedly being you. The pencil in his hand bounced up and down. He was going through some last minute tour arrangements. He was excited to say the least, Love On Tour was coming together and that exhilarated him.
“Be quiet I’m calling y/n.” Sarah told him. Harry hadn’t heard from you in a long time. You had phoned him a few months ago, to congratulate him.
“Hello?” Harry spoke into the speaker of his phone.
“Hi Harry.” You spoke. Harry felt his heartbeat go haywire at the sound of your voice.
“Aah, to what do I owe this pleasure y/n?” He tried his best to sound calm and collected, afraid his voice might betray him.
“Just wanted to congratulate you. You’ve done some great work on the album Harry.” You said, your voice soft and sweet.
“Thank you Love. How’s everything going with you?” He needed an excuse to hear your voice.
“Same old stuff. Play this show, play that show, write this song and write that song y’know. Really need a break.” You muttered, huffing out a breath in annoyance.
“How’s everything with you?” You added.
“Good. Even better now actually that I don’t have someone like you up my ass the whole time. Songwriting without you is less stressful.” Harry said chuckling.
You feigned shock, a very dramatic gasp leaving your lips. “And here I was thinking we’ve begun to tolerate each other.”
“I know; I know. You could be a bit more subtle when it comes to telling me how much you like me y/n.”
“Like you?! Seriously Harry?! I can barely even look at you without hurling my guts out.”
“Why are you calling y/n?” Harry asked Sarah.
“Because Mitch and I want her at the party Haz.” Sarah said rolling her eyes.
Every year, Sarah and Mitch host a Halloween party. The kind of party that never goes the way it’s supposed to go. It ends up with at least one person missing for a few days. The last time it happened to be Harry, who found himself in a motel, five hours away from their place after he sobered up. Funky times, he called it.
“Quiet as a mouse.” He said, pretending to zip his lips.
“Y/n! Lovie how are you?” Sarah spoke, her voice warm and a lovely smile on her face as she heard you speak. “That’s great! Are you free this Saturday?” Sarah spoke. Harry wish the phone were on speaker, he wanted to hear your voice again. “Yes…. No! Yes, it’s a Halloween party; well the Halloween party.” Sarah was quiet for a moment, her eyebrows sinched in understanding. Sarah went quiet for a moment, whispering a “I know it’s hard.” Harry wondered what bothered you. “You can’t wear jeans! Well not unless they’re a part of your costume.” Sarah said rolling her eyes. “Listen listen, slow down! You can stay at my place yeah?”
“Oh my god I love you I love you I love you. See you. Mwah.” Sarah squealed after the phone call ended.
“So?” Harry asked her, a smile of anticipation on his face as he looked at Sarah.
“Oh wipe off that smile off your face. You’re insufferable.” Sarah said rolling her eyes.
“M’not!”
“We all know you like her. So you can stop with this charade.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I’m talking about that look.” Sarah said raising her eyebrows at Harry who looked at her with wide eyes at her statement. “There is no look.” He huffed.
“No there is. It’s a ‘i miss y/n but I don’t like her’ look”
“No there’s not.”
“There is.”
“She’s rude, obnoxious and an unpleasant person.” Harry said crossing his arms.
“Sure sure, that’s why you wrote a whole album about her.”
“It was only a few songs!”
——————————————
The music was blaring and loud. You stood outside Mitch and Sarah’s house, contemplating if you should leave or stay. Truth be told, you were exhausted. You didn’t want to party today, not even in the slightest. You wanted to cocoon yourself and stay away from everyone tonight but Sarah convinced you to come. Even dressing up seemed like a hefty chore.
You got out of the car, muttering a thank you to the driver as you handed him his money. You ran your hands over your dress, a sigh leaving your lips. You had dressed up as a pirate, although it was Vanessa, a good friend of yours who had forced you. You intially planned on dressing up in jeans and a tee shirt.
You push through the crowd, searching for Sarah. You find her near the kitchen island with Mitch and Harry behind her. You feel your heart burn when you set your eyes on Harry. Harry was dressed up as a cowboy clad in hot pink. His arms were bare and he was wearing an open waistcoat, showing off his muscled chest. Sarah spots you and waves you.
“You dressed up!” Sarah says, encasing you in a hug. You hug her back. “Sure did.” You said smiling. Mitch huged you tight and you smile a bit at the gesture.
“That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve laid me eyes on.” Harry said, mimicking a pirate accent. You roll your eyes with a small smile as you hug him. “How’ve you been?” You ask Harry. “Tour is kicking my ass. Excited yet scared y’know.”
“Don’t worry about it you’ll do well.” You said, squeezing his hand lightly as you left the trio to themselves.
Harry noticed something was off. You would’ve retorted back to him. Hell, you would’ve done anything but roll your eyes lazily. He noticed your smile didn’t reach your eyes. You seemed sad and exhausted.
After an hour of talking and drinking Harry decided to look for you. He searched the whole house, up and down and couldn’t find you. He was worried to say the least.
He entered sarahs room, scanned it thoroughly and was about to leave but when he saw you, he felt a tug at his heart. You were in balcony, leaning against the railing with your face in your hands as your body racked with sobs. Harry didn’t know what to do.
“Y/n?” Harry whispered as he entered the balcony. He noticed that you had washed your face bare. There was nothing lining your eyes, only your bare heavy red eyes.
You look at Harry with panic ridden eyes, and immdiately begin to rub away the tears. Harry walks upto you and gently holds your hands in his.
“Hey hey it’s okay.” He shushed you.
“I don’t know why I’m crying. I’m not weak I swear.” You said, your voice heavy and hoarse.
“Never said you were.” Harry replied, holding you in his arms. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“I feel like, I don’t deserve this life. I shouldn’t be here, in the place I am today.” You said. You began to cry once more, feeling your chest become heavy.
Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. You bent forward where you stood on the floor, leaning against the balcony and pressing your palms to your face, as you began to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours.
Harry felt his heart break even more at your condition. He wanted to soothe you and would even kiss your tears away if that were the price to see you smile again.
“Why do you feel this way Love?” He asked you, tightening his arms around you.
“Because I’ve left behind people.” You said. You couldn’t control your tears.
“I’ve had to do the same y/n. It’s a part of life.” Harry said, your neck buried in chest. You could heart his heart beat through his care chest.
“No no not like that. I gave up on my mom and dad.” You said, squeezing your eyes shut hard. “I left them Harry. I saw them ruin themselves because of drugs and I left them.”
Harry was unsure of what to say. He never expected to hear such a confession from you and in all honesty, you had no clue as to why you were discussing this with Harry. But it felt right to talk to someone about it, especially if that someone was him
“We can go to my place. It’s much more quiet.”
“Okay.”
You sat down in the passenger seat of Harry’s car, looking outside. You were oddly silent. Harry started humming a song to get your attention. You still said nothing. Harry started to sing now. You still said nothing. Harry began to change songs on the radio quickly, one after the other. You still said nothing.
“You look pretty tonight.” Harry said. You only looked at him and nodded. “But the boots y/n, hideous.” He dramatically sighed. “You’ll cause a hole in the windscreen if you keep staring this hard.”
It were as if Harry was desperatly trying to say play with me. You were silent and that’s when Harry decided to pull out the big guns.
“How’s everything with that guy.. Luke Hemmings right?” Harry tried to act clueless. You only rolled your eyes at him.
“What? Broke up with him because he fucked you missionary style?” Harry said, snickering as he remebered your drunken confession.
“Your ass must be jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.” You grumbled. Harry heard the smile in your voice.
“There’s the y/n I adore.” He said, a smile cracking his face.
“Shut up. You’re making too much noise. I can’t even hear myself losing the will to live.” You said as you closed your eyes and laid your head against the back of the seat.
“Great because we’re home.” Harry said as he got out and opened the car door for you. “M’lady.” He said, extending a hand towards you which you took as he led you up the elevator.
You entered the flat and realised it’s still the same. It still smelt of candles and honey. The yellow bean bags lay mushed in the same way and the coffee tables were still dusty. You look around and remembered all the fights, laughter, song writing and mini concerts that took place here. Nostalgia wasn’t very nice to you tonight.
“It’s still the same.” You said, looking around as you stood in the middle. Harry smiled at you. “Never had the time to change it up.” He walked into his room, bringing with him a tee shirt and a pair of boxers. “Thought you might want to change in something more comfortable.”
“Thank you.” You said as you walked into the washroom. You looked at your reflection and reminded yourself to get your act together. You washed your face and tied your hair up in a ponytail and slipped on the tee shirt not bothering to wear the boxers because the tee shirt was good enough at protecting your modesty.
You step outside to see Harry brewing a cup of coffee. He was dressed in a loose tee shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He smiled at you and handed you the cup.
“I’d much rather have whiskey.” You said. Harry raised his eyebrows in amusement.
“Your wish is my command.” Harry said and went to fetch you a glass. “So…” he trailed off as he brought you the glass and drank some from his.
“It was a moment of weakness. Nothing more nothinh less.” You said as you drank.
One glass multiplied to two, two multiplied to four and four came kept on multiplying until Harry had to literally pry out the glass from your hand.
“You’ll have a headache tomorrow y/n.” He said, keeping the glasses away.
“Good thing I know how to handle handle my liquor then.” You said smiling, your cheeks flush and hinted with pink. You lay down on the sofa with a thud and sigh as you stretch your legs.
“You know, I never told you this but Ive always liked coming here.”
“Really?” Harry asked you, his smile gentle and surprised. “Yeah. It’s a good reminder.”
“A reminder of what?” Harry asked you out of curiosity. “That a place away from home can feel like it.”
“This place feels like home?” He asked you, his eyes gentle and warm. “Yeah. I mean, might be the whiskey talking at this point.” You chuckled as you set the glass down.
“I think you’ve had enough.” Harry said.
“Is that a tattoo gun?” You ask, getting up and fetching the tattoo gun. A mischievous smile on your face. “Yes.” Harry said, his eyes wide in uncertainty. “Give me your hand.” You said, as you plugged in the gun into a power outlet. “I don’t think this is a good idea,”
“Shh Harry I know what I’m doing.”
You didn’t know what you were doing.
“Okay.”
You grab the gun and sit across him, thighs touching. You hold his right hand in yours and begin to tattoo half a heart on the outer part of his little finger. Harry watched you intently, brows sinched, your lower lip encased in your teeth as you carefully drew the heart.
“There.” You said once it was completed. Harry looked at you with an incredulous look, “half a heart?”
“Wait a second fuckface.” You said snorting as you the other half of the heart on your left little finger. “Give me your hand.” You said to him. Harry brought his hand next to yours and there it was, a full heart.
“We have matching tattoos.” You said, “wait, we have matching tattoos.” You repeated with a grievous tone. “HARRY WE HAVE MATCHING TATTOOS!” You exclaimed for the third time, bringing your hands to your face.
“You shouldn’t have let me use the gun.”
“You would’ve done it anyways idiot.” Harry mumbled rolling his eyes. “Besides, they’re not that bad if you look at it from a distance.” He said.
“I am pretty good at this though.” You said smugly, a smirk on your face.
“Yeah yeah wipe the smile off your face.” Harry said makinh a face at you that only made you smile wider.
You raise your hand to flick his nose but he catches your wrist in his hand. The smirk on your face faded and Harry looked at you with raised eyebrows as his hand slowly travelled to your elbow, tugging you close to him until you were almost but not fully in his lap.
“Want to try that again sweetheart?”
Everything happened far too quickly. You had lost the ability to comprehend the fact that you had reached such a juncture. You lean in, brushing your lips against his but not kissing. The fingers of your free hand trail the curve of his jaw and settle down at the base of his neck.
Harry chuckled and said “are you holding back Love?”
You look at him with glassy eyes as you remove his tee shirt. Your hands shaking and fumbling with every move. Harry removes your tee shirt hastily as if he were a hungry man begging on all fours for food. He wraps your legs around his torso and dips your backwards until the springs in the sofa begin to squeak. He cups your face in his hand, his thumbs encasing your face carefully. He kisses you. He kisses you until time topples over and you are sweeped by heavy oblivion.
“If you plan on fucking me, do it right now or else get out so I can make myself come.” You said. Harry smirked.
And then, he fucked you. He fucked you hard against the sofa, claiming you as his his. He buried himself in you again and again. Glorifying in the feel of you, your smell, your taste. He fisted his hand in your hand in your hair, holding you in place. Your legs were wrapped around his waist as sinful noises escaped your lips.
Your hands were wrapped around his hair, tugging harshly as you both felt your core muscles tighten. “Oh shit.” You whisper in his ear as you felt yourself uncoil slowly. Harry lolled his head back in his ecstasy as he reached his climax.
“Fuck, you make missionary feel good.” You said completely breathless. “That’s how you deserve to be fucked.” He said kissing you.
———————————————
“Oh my God you were fucking amazing!” Sarah said squealing as she hugged Harry.
Harry started touring again and this time, the whole world was familiar with him and his work. He was proud, he was proud of himself and his whole team but he couldn’t help missing you.
Harry and you had a certain arrangement for a while but both of you broke it off perhaps three months ago.
“Harry?” you called his name. Harry looked up at you, his eyes laden with a sheen of lust as he looked at you. “Yeah?” He asked you.
“I think we should stop.”
“Stop?”
“Hooking up i mean.” You muttered as you fiddled with the hem of Harry’s tee shirt you wore. Harry raised his eyebrows at your eyebrows at your words and rubbed his eyes.
“Why do you want to stop? I thought things were good.” Harry said, evidently confused with your behaviour. You had always been bold when it came to telling how you felt and what you wanted so seeing you like this, timid and quiet was a surprise to say the least.
“Look at us. Im wearing your tee shirt to bed, we talk all day, we’re always around each other and what not.”
“Are you afraid you’re going to catch feelings?”
“Yes.”
“That’s ridiculous. You know that i’d never do anything to hurt you.”
“Harry. We’re different people. I don’t want to tie myself down to someone. You have your career ahead of you and I have mine.” You reasoned. Truth be told, you had predicted this conversation months ago.
“I think theres something more to this y/n. Talk to me.”
“There’s nothing beyond what I said.”
“There is.”
“No there’s not.”
“Is it Luke?”
“No.”
“Stop with the curt answers and spit it out.”
“Oh fuck you Harry. I can’t deal with this right now.” You spat at him, visibly frustrated.
“It’s Luke isn’t it?”
“No it’s not. We hooked up a few times and that’s it and you shouldn’t even care. Why don’t you go and kiss Kendall’s ass like you always do.”
“What are you even trying to say? It’s impossible to have a conversation with you, Jesus.”
“You want a girlfriend. I can’t be one. You want someone who’ll kiss you out of the blue and cuddle you. I can’t be that person for you Harry so stop wasting your time with me.”
“Y/n listen to me-”
“Goodbye Harry.”
That was the last conversation he shared with you. He felt his heart clench at remembering the conversation that had taken between you two.
Harry saw Sarah rush to the door with a bright smile on her face. She was about to open the door but turned towards Harry after mumbling “oh shit.” under her breath.
“Harry.” She called out his name, drawing it out. “Yeah?”
“Y/n wants to talk to you.”
“Okay.” Harry felt his heart burn and his palms turn clammy.
“She’s outside.”
“What?” He exclaimed.
“Okay bye.” Sarah said rushing out the door.
Harry saw you stand outside the door, you hair loose and falling into straight waves with your eyes lined with your signature liner. You wore a short black dress that was sinched at your waist and fell losely at your hips with a pair or red cowboy boots.
“Hi Harry.” You said, your voice unwavering as you stood in the doorway.
“Y/n, i didn’t expect to hear from you.”
“Before you say anything, I’m sorry. I was afraid and this is all so new to me. I fucked up i know. I was too caught up on being tough and not letting you in and what not…”
“Y/n it’s fine listen,”
“No shut up and listen to me first. I’m sorry and I like you, fuck I think it’s more than that and it’s important I get this off my chest. Okay you can speak now.”
“Fuck, get over here so I can kiss you.”

aaa okay, i had a very hard time, and i don’t talk to a lot of my moots (which i should but there’s so many factors in why such as being shy, timezones, awkwardness, never talking) but i have given songs to these moots of mine based off of their vibe and their theme ^^ im surprised i didn’t put another dept song…
@heartlvrrss is empty wallets by 5 seconds of summer because zee is… very PANG! idk how to explain but what can i say 😗 i will spend every dime on you, shawty 🩷

periodically I lose it a bit and get emotional over how ‘get you high when I’m high so we see eye to eye’ hits when coming from a celebrity who sees eye to eye with so few people and just. it’s not the point of the song but can we let celebs be human

hello bestie I am pulling my sleeping bag closer to yours. let's do sleepover questions ok yes
1. favourite childhood sleepover memory
2. best 5sos song to play at night
3. favourite kind of braid
4. best midnight snack
5. something in ur room you'd tell me about when u showed me around if I was sleeping over
love u! 🫶
AHHHHH YAYYYY I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS🫶🫶🫶 MY HEART IS FULL
1. In 2016 this movie came out called Nerve (starring Emma Roberts and James Franco) and me and one of my best friends at the time had been so excited to see it and I got the DVD of it for my birthday, so she came over for a sleepover and we watched it. After it ended we loved it so much we immediately restarted it lmao. If you haven't seen this movie and just want a ridiculously good time I HIGHLY recommend, I've seen it so many times lol.
2. Best 5sos song for nighttime is hard bc like, are we talking sad girl hours?? Party hours?? Late freeway drive hours??? Overall I would say Waste the Night, If Walls Could Talk, Empty Wallets, You Don't Go To Parties, and Kill My Time!!!
3. I love a french braid 😌
4. I don't really eat at midnight but if I am, I've probably been drinking, and needing to eat a subway sandwich or a quaker oats peanut butter chocolate chip granola bar lmaoooo
5. I LOVE THIS QUESTION OMG. Okay so main ones would be a board I have with a bunch of cutouts from CD booklets of the lyrics to my favorite songs on whatever album CD it was. So like I have the Cruel Summer lyric page from my Lover CD, the Diamonds/A Beautiful Dream lyric page from my WFTTWTAF CD, etc. So a bunch of song lyrics all collaged together.
The second thing is a little cow plushie I named Pumpkin that I bought with @bluefirewrites the last time she came to visit me!! 🥹🥹
