tags: sfw, eventual smut, dvda!matt, setting this up…
note: has been in my drafts for awhile, decided to tweak it really quick and post!! if there are any mistakes I’m hypnotizing you now to ignore them..🌀🌀this will be in chapters, hopefully around 3-4 ! I have an ask in my inbox which I’m working on it will hopefully be out soon 🤍
you’d been working for the past 12 hours, running in and out of your bosses office, juggling his schedule, and acting you didn’t find him extremely pretentious and annoying. and despite being recognized wherever he went he couldn’t seem to keep track of a single appointment without you keeping track of all of them.
by the time you glanced out the window, the sun had seemed to have already set awhile ago, you completely lost track of time. the rest of the building had already left hours ago, leaving only you alone there
finally you get to pack up and go home. you were halfway out the door when you get another phone call.
you reluctantly pick up
“youre always here to save the day!!” he sounded way too ecstatic for someone calling at 11pm. “could you reschedule my doctor’s appointment as soon as you can? Thanks!”
before you had the chance to respond he had already hung up.
you blankly stared at your phone for a few seconds, you thought to pretend to not have heard him debating if that would be worth losing your job, you couldn’t stand it anyways..
with a sigh, you dropped your bag back onto your desk and called the doctors office. a few minutes later, the appointment had been moved, so you were finally free to leave
you ran down the stairs as fast as possible, even almost tripping on one of the steps but you caught onto a railing before you could fall
your bus stop was right in front of the building, as you walked towards it an advertisement caught your eye, a band was looking for a guitarist.. it had been months since you had even touched yours. you scoffed to yourself “as if I’d have time for that” and quietly mutter to yourself. as the bus approaches, you had a weird feeling that you would regret not at the very least taking the number, you quickly dig through your bag to find a pen and sticky notes to put the number down right before you got onto the bus.
the whole bus ride you were just staring at your note, wondering if it was even real. for some reason you were just drawn to it
you arrived to your apartment cooking yourself some dinner, while still contemplating if you should call or not. even getting ready for bed. you decide after all this contemplating, what could even happen, right?? you muster up the courage to call the number, after all you needed a way to wind down after working for so long.
the phone barely rang once before someone picked up
“hi, is this the number for the band?” a strangely familiar voice that you couldn’t put your finger on responds very eagerly
“YES, finally. we haven’t gotten any calls for the guitarist yet, you’re the first one! are you able to come through tomorrow?”
you get a little surprised with the fast paced answer “ah! isn’t that a little soon? Isn’t there atleast auditions?”
“we’ll take anyone at this point, are you semi-good at guitar? that would be enough for us, thanks!” he laughs to himself
“okay then..” you hesitate a little before responding “In that case I guess I can..!”
“awesome!” he responds, you can almost hear him smiling through his voice “could you be there at 2pm?”
“sure.. but where is this mysterious place exactly?”
“ah that’s right…” you can hear loud paper rustling followed by a muffled “wait, Trey.. what’s the address again?” a voice in the background shouted something before he gave you the address “it’s pretty hard to miss but if you get lost just call this number again so I can get you”
“thanks! I’ll be there”
“cool! can’t wait.” he hangs up
you felt weird about it even though you accepted quite quickly.. wondering if you would even be able to handle work and practicing, plus his voice sounded weirdly familiar to a high school friend you had.. but you just brush it off as a coincidence.
as you lay in bed almost couldn’t sleep thinking about tomorrow you found yourself feeling weirdly excited for it. besides, you didn’t have much to do for the next week so there was no reason to not see where this would take you.
your alarm rang loudly, waking you up immediately. you quietly groan, and rise from your bed. you look at the clock and realize that you’ve woken up at 1:30pm
“shit..” you mumble to yourself
you rush to the bathroom and quickly take a shower and get ready for the day. you didn’t have that much time to get ready anyways, you throw on an old t-shirt, a baggy jacket, and sweatpants. it wasn’t a great first impression, but you didn’t really have time to worry about that
luckily the building where they were practicing wasn’t too far away from your apartment, you grabbed your guitar and hurried out the door hoping youd be in time
as you ran to the place that they told you to, you couldn’t exactly find the right building even after asking multiple people. you decide to call him again
“hey! You couldn’t find the place.. I’m guessing” he answers almost immediately
“you got it.. I’ve been looking around for ages, I’m near the thrift store if you could maybe come help me”
“don’t worry about it, I’ll be there in a minute.”
as you wait for him you couldn’t help but feel little anxious about this. maybe it was that you joined a random band that you saw on a flyer.. but in the middle of your thoughts a familiar face shows up.
“y/n??” he laughs “holy shit dude! and I thought your voice sounded familiar”
you froze, as you weren’t THAT sure of it actually being him on the call. you have had weird unprocessed lingering feelings towards him since college.. you tried to brush it off but they always stayed there
“jesus, matt? making a band now, huh? I would totally expect that of you” you reply
“says the person who actually showed up to some sketchy ad, I would expect more from you”
“oh, shut up” you laugh
you hadn’t seen him in 5 years but god does he look even hotter now, you spent a little too long looking at him but you quickly caught yourself and looked away, hoping he didn’t notice “alright then! let’s go, it’s only a minute away from here”
“what have you been up to recently, do you still play a lot of guitar?”
“well.. I’ve been mostly working, i haven’t played guitar in a while. I thought this would be a cool opportunity to play more” you shrug “nothing super exciting”
“guess we’ll have to change that then!” he replies
as he led you up a narrow flight of stairs which creaked with every step he smiled “here it is!”
the room was basically empty besides from a table with empty soda cans cluttered on a table, the bass resting on a couch and the drum set in the middle of the room.
someone else you know aswell from college, trey was there “Y/N? sick! didn’t think matt was serious about actually bringing someone in”
“yeah, yeah..” matt laughs “alright! enough catching up. since we’re all here let’s see what you’ve got! just plug your guitar into the amp, no pressure at all”
you nervously set your guitar case down while plugging it in.
“whenever you’re ready” matt said with an encouraging smile which made you a little bit less nervous
you adjusted a bit before lightly strumming the chords. you felt rusty, since you hadn’t played seriously in so long
you began to play quite hesitantly but after it settled in you remembered what to do, your nervousness slowly went away after you concentrated on it. after you finish playing, matt stares at you for a second “..i thought you said you were rusty”
“i am! maybe your standards are too low for me..” you laugh, setting your guitar down and resting on the couch next to matt
he turns to you “well there is one thing that I maybe should’ve mentioned..” he nervously looks at you “our next gig is in 4 days”
“4 days?? you can’t be serious matt” you glare at him confused, he had always been a procrastinator so you sort of expected something like this to happen with him
“well, yeah! it’s no big deal you’re already good enough at guitar let’s just practice a few songs!” he responds
