Request: yes, I hope you like it! Summary: Luke comforts his best friend after a shitty day. Fandom: 5sos Words: 873 Warnings: swearing(?), a little bit of angst, sexism (just a little bit and not directly.), I think that's it, let me know if there should be others. Notes: This takes place this year, Luke and the reader met during the tour with one direction. The reader was a photographer for 5sos.
I always liked the rain, the noise, not the feeling. The sound of rain was comforting, it ticking on the windows and roof. The feeling was annoying and cold, it falling on your skin and clothes. Glasses didn't help either. Glasses were supposed to help you see, but right now I can barely see anything. I was cold and soaking wet, and I could barely see where I walked. I noticed that rain wasn't the only thing wetting my cheeks, tears were falling, frustrated tears, sad tears, angry tears. Trying to hold it in, seemed impossible, but I still tried. I was almost home, I could almost shower and crawl into bed. But almost wasn't now and I hated that.
I could see my apartment from here, just a few more minutes before I would open the door to my apartment, my apartment where I would be alone. I wish Luke was here, but since he is on tour, he ain't going to be there. But God, how I wished I could hug him and tell him about my shitty day. Tell him about the shitty date, tell him about my stupid boss. As I walked up the stairs, I couldn't help but kinda dread going into my lonely apartment. I wish somebody would be waiting there, or that I wouldn't be going in alone, but that date ruined that for tonight. I got to my floor and began to walk to my door when I heard voices from inside. Weird and creepy. I couldn't hear what they were saying and who they were. I grabbed deodorant, the only "weapon" available. I quietly grabbed my key and went to unlock my door, preparing for the worst. The tears had stopped and I had wiped them away, but I could feel them coming again. This time tears of fear. I quickly opened the door and held the deodorant in front of me. "AAAH, fuck sake, it's just me and the guys" wait a second "LUKE?!" "Yeah, are you okay?" "You scared the crap out of me, aren't you supposed to be on tour." "Short break" Ashton replied for him. "You could have called, you should have called." "Yeah maybe I should have, but are you okay, you're shivering and sort of crying?" That's when I broke, a sob escaping my chest, that clenching feeling in my chest. Luke of course immediately brought me into a hug. "We'll come back tomorrow." Michael said, patting my back, Ashton and Calum following him. "Call us when you need something." Calum said, before he closed the door behind him. Luke was still hugging me and rubbing my back and I was still sobbing. "It's okay, I'm sorry." He whispered. "No no no, it wasn't your fault." I managed to get out between sobs. He began shushing me and leading me to the couch. He sat down with me, pulling me into him. He began to hum my favorite song as I began to calm down, my heart rate going down and crying quieting down until I was calm. "What happened?" "Shitty day" "What happened?" "Maybe we should get your ears checked." I tried to joke. "I'm serious, you just broke down in front of us, I know you, you don't normally do that. So what happened?" "I had a shitty date with this guy who really didn't like feminism. He was constantly talking badly about it. I don't know why I stayed for so long, but I eventually stood up and left. Now here's the thing, apparently, he is friends with my boss and called him." I said, sitting up straight. "What did your boss do?" Luke asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulder "He fired me." "He did what?" "We really should check your ears out." "Stop joking." "Okay okay, but yes, he fired me for ditching his friend. I have no job as of right now." "Oh, you have one." "Luke-" "I'll make some calls. You'll have a job and I won't have to miss you." "I missed you too, but what about Ryan?" I wondered putting my head on his shoulder. "He'll have to make place for you." He laughed out, making me smile. "Now please go shower, you're freezing and I'm cold too now." Luke said, pushing me away, jokingly. "Yes, boss." I said, standing up "I will be soon." "Nah, you will always be my best friend." "Your only friend." "That's not true, I'm friends with lots of people." I said, clutching my heart, pretending to be hurt.
I walked out of the bathroom and back to the couch, dressed in a short and one of Luke's sweaters. "Hey! That's my sweater." "You stole one of my keys, that's way worse." "I didn't steal it, I borrowed it." He said, while I sat down. "It's still stealing if you borrowed it without my permission." "Okay, wise ass." He joked. I saw that he had a movie ready, my favorite Disney cartoon to be precise. "Really?" "I know it is your favorite one." He said, before standing up. "Where are you going?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't leave. "The kitchen, I made thee." He answered, before walking into the kitchen. I smiled, that dork.
