shawn: [ after a couple of celebratory drinks, there was a happy buzz surrounding him at the grammys after party. realistically, it was easier to find ariana than it was to find mike, so shawn did just that. ] sorry to interrupt. [ he gave ariana a quick hug while he muttered a quick 'you sounded great tonight' to her. he turned to mike, placing a gentle hand on one of his shoulders. ] could i borrow you for a few minutes? there's some people i want you to meet. [ it was a lie. it was more like a complete and utter excuse to get mike as alone as he could. ]

[ he rolled his shoulders in a swift shrug. ] kinda have to again. only because i need to catch up with my date. or else -- catch me after. you have my number, use it. [ mike reached forward with his right to lightly tap shawn on the shoulder. ]

shawn: [ his hand subtly fell back to his side as mike said 'date.' his grin flickered for a moment, but he caught himself before it was noticeable. ] your date, yeah -- it'll look suspicious if you're gone for too long. don't wanna keep you from all the chaos. [ his hazel eyes followed mike as he tapped him. ] glad i got to see you in what's considered to be a 'uniform' for any performer before you dash off. [ he laughed, his grin widening even further. ] glad i got to see you -- just in general.

mike: [ a grin split over his face, brow cocked high as he stole a quick glance at the ever intrigued paparazzi. he shifted in place to keep their lips somewhat unread from the public. ] got an invite. well -- specifically ariana invited me. all her doing. bit of last minute conversation so. [ he slipped his left hand into his dress pant pocket. ] thought i'd surprise you.

shawn: here, come with me. just for a second. [ he nodded towards his bodyguard, signaling that he'd be stepping aside. taking a few long strides to get away from the cameras and the crowds. ] sorry, i just -- i wanted this to be a moment between only us. [ he reached out hesitantly, a hand tracing over the lapel of mike's suit. ] you look really great for it being a last minute conversation. last time you surprised me, you left pretty early on. should i clear some room so you can run away this time?

mercedes: ummm, yes? please!! will you buy me one of their famous turkey legs, papa?

mercedes: but pickering sounds cooler!! wow knowing you’re from my fave country makes me like you even more 😍

mercedes: i am basically ten years older, young one. yeah isn’t the rocky movies like so long? i think that’s why i’ve never seen them.

mercedes: nope, i have such a sensitive stomach. i’m not weird like you!

mercedes: SHAWN.

mercedes: please do not tell me... you had to.. fish it out of her.. PLEASE.

mercedes: thats okay, my first time wasn’t anything better either. it was actually like three minutes long.

mercedes: but it was also with the only person i’ve ever been intimate with??? so i think you win??? then again you left a CONDOM in her

mercedes: ok but i want a sugar daddy so what the hell we gon do now?

shawn: you calling me papa is single-handedly the worst nickname i've ever gotten. makes me sound like papa smurf

shawn: it's a cute town. super under the radar. where are you from?

shawn: i may legally be 21, but mentally, i'm 30. just kidding -- i'm mentally 12. you might like the creed films more, which is a spinoff of them. michael b. jordan is in them -- just being hot as hell the whole time

shawn: i was a CHILD. now, i probably would offer to get it out. not back then

shawn: i'm fucking with you. i absolutely would not fish it out of a girl STILL. nasty

shawn: your three minute long sex scandal does not have the same energy as LOSING my condom

shawn: you've only been with one person? that's super cool, actually. were you guys together for a long time or have you just not felt close enough to be with anyone else?

shawn: want me to set you up with one of my rich friends? :/ i can probably call niall from one direction if you want

shawn: [ with fingers moving furiously, typed as fast as he could before locking his phone. he spun around, meeting a pair of eyes that were becoming increasingly familiar. ] what ... [ swallowing hard, he spoke again. ] you're the last person in the world i thought i'd see tonight. what are you doing here? /how/ are you here?

mike: couple things i'm realizing here: 1. shawn mendes is vanilla. 2. shawn mendes is a nerd with a calendar, probably. 3. shawn mendes is a big proponent for car sex -- vanilla car sex. 4. shawn mendes' voice is probably insured for 5 million dollars seeing as it's a limited edition thing. 5. shawn mendes is a bottom. 6. shawn mendes is a nerd but he has taste.

mike: and in regards to whether i believe in aliens, what i value most in friendship, and my response to rumors:

mike: turn around.

shawn: [ typing ... ]

shawn: what are you talking about?

shawn: [ typing ... ]

shawn: you are so fucking lucky that i can't interrupt this whole show to switch seats with ariana right now. holy shit. talk about a power move.

Shawn Mendes Carpool Karaoke – #LateLateShawn

Oh my god a burger would be super yummy right now. Thanks for initiating that craving. It has been a while, Mendes, we ought to change that. I’ve been working, mostly! Thankfully in this industry attending parties and stuff can actually count as work, I’m grateful for that. Business and pleasure. What have you been up to? And you should spear my fan club you’d be the perfect person for it! Let’s make this happen.

welcome, welcome. happy to force you to eat something other than your classic kale salad every now and then, dude. yeah, going to parties is always a fun time. have you been making tons of connections? i have zero idea what goes down at those parties, clearly. i think i must not have gone to enough of ‘em with you. not a ton! the grammys are tomorrow, which is gonna be fun. other than that, i’ve just been in the studio. definitely. i’m gonna have kendall and bella become the co-presidents of it all.

Fine, but you’re a professional singer so I expect an acoustic guitar and some HD quality facetime session. It’s not a rule, just a personal request. Do people say ‘jazzed’ anymore? Someone’s old age is seeping through, huh. Yeah? Have you two ran over what you’re gonna say when you get up on that podium? ‘Course, but I’m a theatre kid, we’re all largely fond of the classics since they paved the way for making musicals accessible to a larger audience. It really is. Same with ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and ‘Grease’. My mom really wanted to be Olivia Newton John for a hot minute. My subconscious is just trying to keep up with yours. I’ve got some serious calves with all the time I’m spending running through your head. Doesn’t hurt to have a career to fall back on. Actor by day, mathematician by night.

sounds good to me. remind me to show you my guitar collection next time you’re in town, by the way. it’s the most impressive thing about me if you’re willing to nerd out about instruments with me. don’t try to fuckin’ call me out for my word choice like you weren’t roaming the streets with the cavemen when you were a kid. if we go up to the podium, not when. so, when twenty-one pilots won the best duo performance a few years ago, they went up to accept it in their underwear. camila made some dumb joke to the press that we’d do the same thing, so i think if we take that approach, we won’t even need a speech prepared. ‘grease’ is one of those films i watched daily as a kid. i think about how dramatic the song danny sings in the drive-in is all the time. god, that was a worse version of, “are you tired? ‘cause you’ve been running through my mind all day” which is like ... the worst pickup line out there.

marc: i should say i have no problems with mint, the actual herb. but mint flavored things i do /not/ like. i've tried many kinds.

marc: i may have to get some of this coffee then! that would make sense, especially how hard you work and how long you're away for on tours. estelle is 6 and scarlett 4. their birthdays are coming up and i am not ready! they're growing up too quickly for my liking.

shawn: is it the artificial flavoring taste that you can't get over?

shawn: you definitely do. i'm usually more of a tea drinker, but i'm a sucker for some girl scouts flavors. are their birthdays close to one another? god, that's so crazy that it's been that long, but i bet it feels like they were just babies, doesn't it? you have anything exciting planned for their birthdays?

it was a physical want at first, a spark of desire, and a curiosity that made him want to peel back Shawn’s layers. The heaviness in the air, one he would never describe as awkward or embarrassing, had fanned the flames. There was a hand in his hair and foreign as the feeling was, Mike continued to surge forward. His tongue lavished over warm pink lips, palm instinctively sliding further over the expanse of fabric for purchase, for an unnecessarily tighter grip. He could blame it on loneliness. He could drag his kisses off (or elsewhere) and pretend that his mind wasn’t swirling with nerves and worries — but it wouldn’t feel true. Shawn could make the smallest sound, and Mike’s ability to stay objective and distant, would crumble. Early as he was to assume, he knew that.

Then there was a thud. As if waking from a trance (he wasn’t, he was clearly aware of his own decisions and regretting it less than he’d expected) the actor pulled away in an instant. He swallowed, eyes glazed over and wide. Mike parted his lips and inhaled a sharp breath before stalling the commentary, a quick glance darting to the door. His face felt hot still, arguably warmer in fact now that the act was sitting wordless between them. He retracted his fingers, and sat up a little straighter. Mike smoothed the back of his, mussing up his cropped hair in habit. The silence was near excruciating.

Meeting Shawn’s eyes post kiss was already difficult enough, but he managed to find his voice. “Sorry — I should go.” He forced himself to his feet, wary that he was literally running from further intimacy, even if he felt surprisingly confident in Shawn’s mutual interest. (The physical aspect of it at least.) “I didn’t mean to overstay, just… Thanks. For having me, for seeing me. I uh, it was nice to catch up.” Hazel-blue eyes dipped lower to Shawn’s pink lips before correcting themselves and sliding up once more. “Just… Thanks.”

shawn felt like he was snapped back to reality when a soft knock on the door jolted the man in front of him backwards. immediately, the musician’s hands shifted to the pocket attached to his hoodie. his eyes drifted open to find his opposite on his feet. it felt like mike was practically running out of the dressing room. “nice to catch up?” he laughed, confusion flooding in. if he had even a second to pause, shawn would stop to think about what his next move should be, but it didn’t feel like he had the gift of time on his side. 

“wait -- wait. they legitimately can’t leave without me, so ... just wait a second.” he stood up directly after, impulsively reaching for mike’s hand in an attempt to stop him. he let go as quickly as he’d reached out, scooping his phone up from the vanity several steps away. spit it out, he thought. he quickly unlocked the device, opening his contacts page with a couple of taps. he could nearly trace the outline of mike’s lips on his as he opened his mouth. what was the point of coming here and inserting himself into the forefront of shawn’s mind again if he was just planning on leaving like he didn’t just lean in first?

shawn was expecting another knock to pull them out of the bubble that he felt like he was in, but there was nothing but silence. spit it out, he thought again. any excuse he had for why he couldn’t open himself up felt useless now as he stood in front of the brunette. “i want to see you again.” shawn said softly. “i want to get to know you better. you know, outside of the version of you that goes in for a kiss.” he held out his phone to the actor, steadying his voice as his spoke. a second knock echoed through the door, followed by shawn clearing his throat. “give me a second!” he called out as his eyes remained focused on the man in front of him. “a kiss was a good place to start, but your number might send the same message, so.”

mike: you two are really supporting the stereotype that all canadians are peaceful and kind. almost every pair of siblings i know, fight and yet.

mike: unless they're doing it in a manipulative manner. otherwise, what i'm hearing is, that you're a big proponent for edging.

mike: jesus, how'd you have any free time at all with all the hours of practice?

mike: so sacrificing my life to the sea is the way to your heart? or playing a tuba until you dip under water? i like performing gestures if it makes my partner smile, but i'm not a very public person so. i like the classic stuff. roses for valentine's day, celebrating anniversaries at some special location, that sort.

mike: dude, y'ever heard about that astronaut who said he heard a knock on his door? from the outside? and he heard a voice calling out to him? space is cool and all, but fuck. that.

mike: i'm gonna look it up someday and screencap them right to you. curious to see how much your voice changed.

mike: so what i'm hearing is that you like a man in uniform. (how long until you get tired of these comments?)

mike: no idea. if i ever grow tired, i'll let you know. what's the tune you want playing the moment you enter any room?

mike: it's a promise then. facetime me when you're at the grammy's. i'll live vicariously through you.

shawn: i think i'm just showing you the best side of me here.

shawn: i think the fact that i'm so basic that i had to google what it meant might mean that i'm not necessarily an edging enthusiast.

shawn: learned time management from a young age. it's why juggling everything i do now is such a breeze.

shawn: i get the feeling you and i have two different versions of that movie in our minds. you don't reenact the whole "never let go, jack" moment to win me over. you know the scene where they're in a car? that'll do just fine.

shawn: quiet intimacy is really important to me, so i get that. i really like when the world doesn't know everything that's going on in my love life.

shawn: no, i've never heard of that. what the fuck? i hate that. do you believe in aliens? that's not my question, but i'm wondering now.

shawn: i couldn't sing falsetto before, so that's newer. i flex that skill a ton in my new stuff. i'm obsessed with it. so, you'll see a lot of me playing it safe when it comes to vocal range.

shawn: i think anyone who has a little bit more power than me is pretty hot. so, i guess by default, yeah. (never. the effort you put into the sarcasm is too good to pass up.)

shawn: not that it represents me, but 'same drugs' by chance the rapper is just vibey enough that i'd want it to play. or 'college' by finneas for the same reason.

shawn: what do you value most in a friendship?

shawn: want me to hit you up while i'm on the red carpet? i'm sure that won't spark any rumors.

lucas: i'm from china! so i lived until i was about 15/16, modeled my way into my entertainment company and now i'm here. yep! it'll be three years this april!

lucas: god, this group is already becoming my favorite already, just don't tell the others i'm in nct with. they'll give me glares for days, they don't like sharing.

lucas: hey, thank you dude! i'm having a great day so far, spending the rest of it with my boyfriend later, it's gonna be fun.

shawn: it's only a couple of minutes long, but you can, if you want! if you've got the time (and are feeling ridiculously curious), you should watch the 'hot ones' interview i did. i'm so into watching other people's. the concept of it is dope.

shawn: china is dope! have you gotten to go home often to see your family since getting into the business?

shawn: we'll keep it on the down low until we're practically ready to tour or something. do you dig them being super protective? or is it a lot sometimes?

shawn: hell yeah. what did you guys end up doing? living vicariously through you since my love life is pretty nonexistent.

What constitutes a cover? Can it be twenty seconds long and filmed on some toaster quality phone? Award-dropping mid-conversation, I see how it is. You excited? Nervous? Confident? Oh definitely, it’s very Yellow Submarine except with real people and some seriously colorful CGI. For it of course. Y’think anyone actually hates Mamma Mia? It’s not necessarily the kind of film or musical I could rewatch time and time again, but I can appreciate it. My mom loves it. Yeah, you’re fuckin rowdy as hell too. Pulling tantrums when I’m not zeroing in my focus. It’s 84 months dude, that’s it.

nah. we’re gonna set rules for it. rule number one: it has to either be in person or over facetime so i can authentically react. feel free to add a second rule, but that might be my only one. shut up. you should’ve heard camila talking about it when i saw her in london last weekend -- she’s jazzed as fuck about the whole ordeal. excited, mostly! definitely not confident. i love what we created, but i love almost every other song in our category. i’m just happy to be there. hates is a strong word, but i can see why some people might not see its charm. of course your mom loves it -- mine does, too. it’s the most ‘mom’ type of film out there. i think that’s your subconscious telling you that you can’t stop thinking about me. i have no control over the frequent thoughts you have about me. who would’ve thought you’d be an actor and a math whiz? a jack of all trades, aren’t you?
