Gwilym x Reader (and Joe x Carboard! Reader) Headcannons
@borhap-socials was seeking something like this, and I was bored. Hope ya guys enjoy this XD
Warning: Swears
Sooooooo, you were hanging out with Joe and Ben at night.
Baby Gwilym was out getting interview sessions done, and going on talk shows.
He wouldn’t be done for another night, and you didn’t want to be alone.
So here your are, watching Scream for no good reason, while drinking with your best friends.
You happened to be at Joe’s house for the night, fyi.
Which means, a safe place to crash if you’re hammered (don’t drink and drive kids)
BUT, that also means a certain cut out is lying around the area.
While looking for some snacks, you found said cardboard cut out of Benny in his closet and pull the thing out.
The thing was honestly so cool, knowing that your best friend was so popular that they made a Carboard cutout of him.
“.....aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA”
Ben and Joe bolted up to the couch and met up to you to see why you were groaning.
“What the fuck was that?!”
“....BENNY IM JEALousssss”
They lost their shit when they what you were holding.
“...girl, you’re drunk” Joe manages to say through wheezes
“But Joeyyyyy it’s not fairrrr. There’s a literal Carboard cut out of my cool best friend. Mean while, boring me doesn’t get cool stuff like thisssss”.
You had to admit having celebrities as your friends and boyfriend made you jealous of their recognition.
Where as you were just a writer that was slowly making it out in the world.
It gets hard sometimes.
The two started to notice you were getting tears eyed, so they engulfed you in a hug and proceeded to carry you to Joe’s guest room for the night.
They hated seeing you like this, and honestly saw you as their sister.
They wanted you to feel special.
That’s where Joe comes up with an idea.
He runs to the kitchen and pull out his laptop.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Ben, do you have that pic of (y/n) from the oscars”
“...yeah why?”
“Send it to me NOw”
The very confused Brit pulled out his phone and started to search the pic.
Gwil asked Ben to take it for him, since (oddly enough) gwil had no room on his phone.
It was a full body shot of you in an elegant black, sleeveless dress with a white gem gradient at the skirt.
“Joe, before i ask. How much did you drink tonight?”
“Shat up”
“...Ok now I have to ask. What the fuck are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m ordering a cardboard cut out of (y/n)”
“What?”
Surely enough, there on the screen was Joe’s order of one life size cut out of their best friend on his screen.
“What the fuck Joe?!”
“Look you saw how sad she was when she saw your cutout. And what she said....dude I think she’s jealous of the recognition we get as celebs”
“...again how drunk are you?”
“Goddammit Ben, I’m trying to be nice! Take me serious for once”
“Alright alright, damn”
“Thank you!”
.......
“...you know, if your want me to take you serious, then put it on express”
“FINE!!”
They stayed up late editing that pic.
Ben managed to find a way to get it the next day with the express, IF they physically picked it up from the store.
Knowing that you would be a bit hungover in the morning. They made a compromise that Joe would go to the store to pick it up, while Ben would stay back and hangout with you.
Easy!
Just as they were setting up for the day, Ben got a text from Gwilym.
He was finished with interviews earlier than expected and said that he was an hour away from their area.
He mentioned that he was texting you, but he was worried that you weren’t responding.
Ben not really thinking, texted Gwil that you were still at Joe’s house and told him to head there where he could pick you up.
It was probably 7am, where they checked in on you
Surely enough, the predicted hangover was evident as your body slept in.
It gave Joe a chance to sneak out, and Ben to surprise you with a nice breakfast.
(Small note, Ben had a hard time finding the pots and pans, which made him realize that Joe doesn’t cook much)
Maybe an hour or so passed, and he was finishing up washing some dishes as he cooked, but then the door bell rung.
Ben started smirking to himself, thinking it was Joe with the cutout of you and ran to the door.
“Hey Ben”
“Oh hey, Gwil you’re back”
Nope not Joe.
Gwilym was smiling, glad to be back in a familiar environment after dealing with long interviews with random strangers.
He hugged his best friend before stepping in.
“Is she still asleep?”
“Yeah. (Y/n) drank quite a bit last night. Might be hungover, but probably just tired”
“Of course hah. Wait, where’s Joe?”
“Oh um, that’s a long story, you see. Joe and I-“
“IT FUCKING CAME IN!!!! ITS IN!! ITS IN!!! BEHOLD THE BEAUTIFUL...Gwil!”
The two faced the doorway to see Joe holding a life size Carboard cut out (nice ink might I add) of (y/n) in his arms.
“You’re home early”
Before Gwilym could express the utter confusion that was being held in his mind, Ben stepped in and started to explain the whole sitatuaion.
Meanwhile Joe was on the verge of an anxiety attack seeing how bad it looked that he had a cut out of his best friend’s girlfriend.
“So Joe. You ordered a life size cutout of my girlfriend, as a way to cheer her up?”
“...yes”
“How drunk were you?”
“AYE!”
“Messing with ya”
That eased the tension in the room a little, oddly enough.
Gwil started to look at joe a bit more, making another confused face.
“....So Joe. Where’s my cutout?”
Joe made a face, “sorry what?”
“My cutout? I assume you got one for me too since she is my girlfriend”
*Joe* oh shit.
“Oh well um, haha, see the thing is Gwil I um..I just-I...I didn’t get you one”
“......”
*in Joe’s head* fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
“Fine, I’ll take yours”
“Wait what?”
“I’ll take yours and you can order another one for yourself”
“Wait what? No she’s mine”
“Sorry what?” Joe could’ve been killed right then and there.
“Wrong choice of words, what I mean is, this cutout is mine Gwil. I want this to be my little joke with her”
“But, I want to be able to have a cutout of (y/n)”
“Yeah I get it, but I paid express for her”
“You have money”
“IM SAVVY GWIL, NOT A FRIVOLOUS SPENDER”
Meanwhile, Ben’s eating breakfast with his cardboard cut out of himself.
This eventually turned into a fucking tug o war between Joe and Gwil, with a freaking cardboard cut out of (y/n).
The bickering between the two echoed thorough the walls of the house, waking you form your slumber.
You groaned at the morning light, and started to head towards the center of the house.
Wondering what the fuck is all that noise coming from.
And there it was. A sight you never thought you would see.
Your boyfriend and your best friend, fighting over you.
...a Carboard you
“GWIL I bought her!”
“But she’s my girlfriend”
“SHE”S MY BEST FRIEND BITCH”
“Don’t bitch me!”
Joe’s grip switched from the middle, to the post of your legs.
“This is MINEEEEE”
Cue a loud ripping noise as Joe Mazzello has managed to rip you away from Gwil’s hands.
But.............
The head was nearly torn off.
And hung from a small strand of Carboard as Joe was now holding, a nearly headless (Y/n).
“...morning (y/n). How are you?!” Joe said, as he tried to not subtly hide the thing behind him.
You squinted at the two of them, noting that Gwil was there, but didn’t say anything.
Next thing they knew, they saw you pull out your phone and dial in some number.
“...hey Lucy. How are you? Yeah I’m good. Are you free at the moment? No, great! Can you pick me up at Joe’s house? I think Joe and Gwilym have to resolve some issues right now”
