The Night We Met - LH/Reader

Summary: Based off the song ‘The Night We Met’ by Lord Huron. Y/N and Luke used to be the best of friends, but Luke found fame, girls and drinking, leaving you in his dust. You’re in the midst of moving your belongings into the attic and find things that bring you back to the special days you spent together.

Warnings: cheating, swearing, that’s about it?

Word Count: 930

You decided to declutter your closet, to make room for some extra storage bins of old clothes and school notes. As you pull the last box down, your eyes widen slightly, noticing the polaroid pictures, printed photos, cards... memories you had once shared with your best fr- ex bestfriend, Luke Hemmings.

You set the box down on your bed and you began to look through what you’d placed in there over the course of four years. There were flowers, pressed into books. Flowers, that Luke would buy you when a boy broke your heart. One for Jeremy, one for Kyle, and one for Jack... each flower meant more to you than any of the relationships you had with these boys.

Polaroids, upon polaroids, in a photo album your mom had purchased for you to specifically put your pictures of Luke and you in. Specifically, one picture caused your eyes to become glossy as tears began to form. The picture, was the picture of the night you and Luke had met. 

FLASHBACK TO 4 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS PREVIOUSLY.

As the rain furociously poured down, you continued walking in the opposite direction of your boyfriend Jeremy’s house. You had just caught him with another girl, and the last thing you wanted, and thought you deserved, was to stay and allow him to explain himself. Tears began to fall down your face as you began to walk faster and faster, feeling the emotional burn in your heart forming. 

Accidently, you bump into a stranger and get extremely worried so you start to spit out apology after apology while wiping your tears, trying to see through your blurred vision. They grabbed your forearms as you let out more tears and pulled you into the direction you were walking. 

“I’m taking you to a coffee shop to dry off, ok?” The mystery man had yelled over the pouring rain surrounding you both.

As you approached the 24 Hour coffee shop and made your way in, you looked up at the man to see a curly haired, scruffy boy. He looked down at you in a panic and you wiped your eyes clean, to ensure there was no makeup left.

“Sit, i’ll get you a hot chocolate ok?” He pulled the chair out for you and quickly made his way to the counter. You smiled softly and took off your leather jacket, allowing it to dry as it draped over your chair.

He came back with two cups and placed one in front of you with a smile. He sat down and sighed. “So, care to explain the tears, pretty lady?”

Your smile began to fade as you recalled the events of the last 30 minutes. You cleared your throat and looked at him. “I-I um, I caught my boyfriend with another girl” You feel your voice growing weaker, holding back tears. He instantly realized that he fucked up. “What a dickwad. You’re beautiful, and I know for sure, he’s royally fucked up by letting you slip away.” He says trying to make you smile, which worked.

You spent the next couple of hours laughing, talking and venting to eachother about your problems.

“I’m sorry, I don’t normally open up so quickly like this.” You sip your drink and he chuckles. “It’s funny, I don’t know you yet, but I know one thing.” You smirk. “And what’s that?”

He grabs your hand and rubs the top of your thumb. “You’re special, and I feel like i’ve known you my whole life.”

BACK TO PRESENT

You looked at all the memories through the photos, recalling all the fun and laughter you both shared. From bike rides, to late night drives, Luke was the one boy you cared for the most. You had all of him, and now... none of him.

You got up and placed everything back in the box, walking towards the steps to your attic and carrying it up. You placed it down and walked back to your room, looking towards the clean and now empty closet floor that could now be full with more items.

Something caught your eye on the ground of your closet floor, so you made your way over to investigate it. As you bent down to pick it up, you noticed it was a polaroid you had dropped. A picture of you and Luke, kissing.

You smiled softly, you and Luke hadn’t ever dated, but this photo was a recent photo. 

FLASHBACK

You both headed up to the roof of Luke’s new apartment for the band and talked about his future, his life and... hopefully, your feelings.

“Can you believe this Y/N/N? I’m going on tour! Across North America! Isn’t that insane?”

You giggled at his excitement. “Well, yeah duh!” He looked down at you, and smiled. “You know, i’m never gonna forget this night.” He walked towards you and you gave him a confused look. “Why is that, Hemmings?” He tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear. “Because, it’s the night I did this.” He leaned in, placing his hand on your waist and kissing you softly. You weren’t taken aback, you were happy. 

Because you knew this was a night you weren’t going to forget either.

PRESENT

That was when he left, he left for his tour, and never spoke to you after that. You missed him, and the adventures you had, the memories you made. It was heartbreaking to know that you didn’t mean as much to him as he still means to you.

That’s it! I’m sad after writing this tbfh. I’ve got the song on loop, and it made it harder to write... wow. I honestly think this could have a part 2, but idk. Maybe i’ll write a part 2 one day, because this was written out of a spur of the moment. If no one wants a 2nd part, I honestly don’t care LOL. I wrote this because I like writing, and I don’t know, I’m not here to please anyone else but myself. So hey, if you like it, thank you! If not, then fine! 

If you do want a Part 2, and want to tell me about it, you can send me an ask?

ok im done byee.

‘You’re my muse.’

Luke x Reader blurb.

Summary: Y/N is a photography student in her 3rd year of college. It’s the end of the semester project time and she’s given a task that leads her to an unsuspecting stranger.

Warnings: its cute, maybe a swear or two, that’s about it.

Word Count: 1,100+

“Alright class, before you all run out of my lecture hall, I have your final assignment” Professor Stevenbach says fixing his bowtie.

The class erupts in groans and he lets out a hefty laugh. “Now now class, it’s a good project” He exclaims as he hands out papers to each row.

“Your assignment, should you choose to accept it” he snickers to himself, leaving the hall in dead silence. He clears his throat and continues. “I want you to take your cameras out on the town, and find the one thing that captures your eye, your muse if you’d like to call it that. Photograph it, show it’s depth, dimension, emotion. I want to see your pictures and understand where your idea came from. Be creative, and HAVE FUN!!” He sang the last part out as the bell rang.

As the class scurried out, you carefully put your laptop in your backpack, along with the assignment. “Don’t forget class, this project is due in 3 days! I also want a paragraph explaining your photos” The prof yelled over the kids eagerly running out of the lecture hall. You made your way out slowly, placing your earbuds in your ears and started the long trek to your car on the other end of the campus. As you walked over, you thought of things you could do for your project, what could you photograph? You pass by trees and flowers, freshly blooming and symbolizing a new beginning.“Nah” you thought to yourself. ‘So cliche’. You snicker at your own comment and continue walking. 

As you approach your car, you see a family of geese walking in the opposite direction. You smile and think of animals as an option, symbolizing unity and family. You knew too many people were going to do these topics, and it left you with a creative writing block, so you decided to drive over to your favourite coffee shop, and brainstorm some ideas as they came to you.

Once you arrived, you walked over to the entrance, and immediately stopped dead in your tracks the second you saw him.

He was tall, 6′2″ at best. Had long curly hair and painted nails. A man so exquisite and yet so rugged and handsome. You pull out your camera and sit at a table further away from him. When he looks back down at his phone, you take the opportunity to take a shot. You look back at the picture, and it’s perfect.  You just needed one last shot, so you waited for him to look up, and as he looked up, he looked straight at you and his once still face was now a frustrated, angry face.

“You people seriously can’t leave me alone, can you?” He says walking over to you.

“E-excuse me?” You stutter in confusion, unaware as to what you did.

“You paps are always invading my personal time, time for ME. MYSELF. THATS IT. If i were you, i’d fucking get up and walk away because this is my time. Don’t take that away from me.” He rolls his eyes as you tremble in fear over his negative attitude.

“I-I’m sorry, you don’t understand I-”

“No, I get it. It’s your job, it’s what puts food on the fucking table right? Well, I need my space too. So can’t you just come back another time? Seriously.” He crosses his arms, and leaves you speechless. He scoffs and turns. “Pathetic” He spits out and starts back to his table.

“You’re my muse” 

He stops dead in his tracks and turns slowly. “Your what?”

You gulp and smile softly. “I’m Y/N Y/L/N, i’m a photography student at UCLA. I was assigned a project to find my muse. Someone who I admired from afar, thought was original and unique and looked like an incredibly handsome gentleman.”

He furrows his brows. “And that’s me?”

You shrug. “I don’t just call anyone a muse, Mr.-”

“Luke. Luke Hemmings.” He sticks out his hand and you gladly accept it. “Listen, i’m sorry for being rude before. I’m just so used to annoying paps and their cameras flashing, so when you literally sat right by me and started taking pictures, I got fed up.”

“I don’t blame you, it must be annoying having people constantly watching you with cameras, waiting for you to make a mistake or something.” 

He nods. “That’s exactly it!” You smile softly. “I’m sorry for taking your photos without permission, that was rude of me. It’s just, you were perfect. I was hoping, you’d allow me to take more pictures of you. Just so I have more options.” You ask, never breaking eye contact. He smiles and nods. “Come, join me.” He ushers you over to his table and you immediately get to work.

You both goof off and share a few laughs as you take funny, and serious photos for your project. You spent the entire afternoon, drinking iced coffees and describing your lives to eachother and it was fasciniating for the both of you. After a long while of chatting, you finally check your phone, and it’s already 6PM. 

Time flies when you find a muse.

“I should probably get back home.” You say packing up your camera. “Hang on, Y/N” He places his hand over yours on the table. “Can I call you sometime?” He asks smiling softly. You nod and trade phones. “You seriously put your contact name as “Mr. Muse” in my phone?” You chuckle softly and he smiles. “Well, I did the exact same thing for you, Ms. Muse.” His cheeks flush a soft pink, causing you to blush back.

You rush home to edit your photos and started writing your paragraph for the assignment.

‘I was told to find a muse that captures my eye, and photograph it. I’ve never been so immediatly drawn to a human being before, but something about my muse was... alluring. He was so dashingly handsome, and his aura screamed expression and creativity. My muse was frustratingly curious as to why i was candidly photographing him. He expressed emotions, and honesty that I’ve never heard a man express. He was upset with me, but for a reason that wasn’t my doing. My muse and I, over the course of 3 hours, got these images together. 3 images. A serious face, to portray the initial reaction to my photography. A candid laugh, to portray our immediate connection, and A smile, because my muse was a piece of work, but Mr. Luke Hemmings, was worth the slight struggle.’

You attached all the files over to your school email and sent it in, but not before taking a picture of your assignment and sending it to Luke.

Mr. Muse: Wow, didn’t know you liked me THAT much already Ms. Muse.

Y/N: Sorry, Mr. Muse. I was trying to get a good grade.

Mr. Muse: And what if it doesn’t? 

Y/N: Honestly... doesn’t matter.

‘Meeting you, was worth it.’
