best friends with sunshine!reader by @secretlocket
what is bassist! matt & bartender! reader’s first interaction like?? (also is bassist matt hot like emo! matt?? 🤭)
so this is a bit of a sneak peek but
you had just finished wiping down the entire bar after the band’s intermission had started, and you were a bit upset that you weren’t able to see or hear much, because from the small bit that you did manage to hear, the band sounded pretty decent. especially compared to local bands that had one good cover but couldn’t figure out how to properly tune their instruments between songs or sing on pitch that normally landed gigs at knucklehead. but as you were refilling pitchers of certain mixes, the bottles of syrups, all while also restocking the beer coolers, a familiar voice rang out from down the bar,
“can i order two cape codders please?” matt asks, causing your heart to start racing against your ribcage while simultaneously falling to the pit of your stomach. and all you could think is “when the fuck did he get here?”, “why is he here?”, and “why the fuck does he look so good?”, making you momentarily forget about the anger and hurt stemming from the night of your break up that you held against him. you refused to look his way as you nodded and started pouring the vodka into the glass, followed by the cranberry juice. as you slid the glass down the bar, you spoke up,
“that’ll be ten-fifty.” and he nods, fishing a twenty out of his wallet, placing it on the counter and muttering a soft comment about keeping the change. and you force yourself to keep your bubbling feelings and unresolved hurt beneath the surface, knowing that you wouldn’t have time to process as customers started flocking toward the bar yet again. but as the night went on, and the rush hour doubled, you couldn’t shake the feeling that he was watching you as you poured drinks left and right, and the idea of him keeping a close tab on you after years of radio silence left you feeling rather conflicted.
and yes he’s just as hot as emo!matt but emo!matt is def hotter
yes! the lead singer is matt’s closest friend outside of his brothers and nate, and his name is jaiden!
back home in boston, their go to is samba bar! in los angeles, its knucklehead hollywood!
yes, but only matt calls her this! her nickname is lucky, and matt calls her that because shes always been his lucky charm, so matt calls her that ironically but when they started dating, he doubled down on calling her that because he felt like the luckiest guy on earth.
what are bassist!matt & bartender!reader doing rn??? wether they're together or seperate !!!!
right now, she’s waking up after getting off a shift that ended at three in the morning, she’s going to grab coffee and lunch with one of her close friends before heading to her afternoon lecture before going to work at six.
matt is currently on his way to los angeles, finally officially moving there after going back and forth to boston to play his favourite bar every time they asked. but he just played his last hometown gig and it was bittersweet.
they have no idea they’re going to run into each other again.
what are nate and chris in ugly hotel?? also why is y/n a bartender??
nate is the lead guitarist and chris is the drummer! as for y/n, it started as just a job to make enough for rent when she first moved to la for school, but then mixology and bartending became hobbies and well loved interests of hers, and she just kept doing it.
