Tongue Tied (Luke x Chubby Reader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luke believes that his luck in love ran out before he was even born. So after weeks of Marnie trying to set him up, he finally accepts. Will it be a wonderful night or a disaster. And how exactly has he been entranced by them. Could they have a secret of they're own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys, I'm back at it again. I had a hankering to watch some spooky Disney movies. So I watched the Halloweentown series for the first time. I am so disappointed that I hadn't seen it before. But no time like the present. And like many before me I was enamored with Luke. This is the result. Hope you enjoy.

---------------------------------------------------------

Luke had always known his luck in love was lousy. But he thought college may give him a leg up. Tons of new and different people to get to know. It was only a matter of time before he met someone he was compatible with.

As he paced his dorm room, he had to reconsider his choices. It had been months, already, a whole semester had come and gone. Yet he struck out again and again. Frowning he decided a walk could help him gather his thoughts.

Leaving the dormitories a bright flyer for a neighborhood block party caught his eye. Causing a memory to jolt in his mind. Rushing back up to his room. He hurriedly sent a message to Marnie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was practically skipping around her room, listing off all the great things about you. “She's so sweet and good natured. Quite the book worm too, but that doesn't keep her from enjoying a good movie. You guys are going to get along so well.” She gave him a look, wiggling her eyebrows and everything. “Not to mention she is totally cute. You see her and just want to squeeze the life out of her she's so adorable.”

He tried to hide his blush behind the soda he was drinking. It seemed like you were the total package. So what would you want with a guy like him? Between his ugly mug and uglier past. Would you really give him a chance. “If she's this great, then why set her up with me?”

Marnie frowned as she took in his downtrodden expression. Why was he always so hard on himself. Still she gave him a reassuring smile. “Call it witches intuition, I know you guys are perfect for each other. You'll be each other's yin and yang.” Seeing his mood not brighten, she thought a new detail may lighten the situation. “Besides I told her you were interested already. You would not believe how excited she was.”

His face fell into his hands with a groan. What was he kidding, he would just mess this up too. But then a sudden idea came to mind. Head shooting up, his wide eyes stared at his friend. “OK, but on one condition.”

She nodded eagerly, anything to make the perfect match.

“You make me look human for the date.” He watched as her face fell. Scrambling to make his case, he almost fell from his seat. “Look I just want to make the best impression. We both know that I'm more confident when you take away the goblin features.” Running his finger through fluffy hair he sighed. “I don't want to mess this up. I mean like you said, we're made for each other.”

Nose scrunching in annoyance she crossed her arms. “Is it really the only way you'll agree.” Nodding he watched her resolve crumble. “Fine let me talk to my Grandma and we'll see what we can do.” She wanted to be angry with him. But as the wide grin settled on his face she found she couldn't. If this was what got the two of you to meet then so be it. You really did belong together. Hopefully you could knock some sense into him on your date.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You shuffled in front of the movie theater. Nerves and excitement burning in you veins. You had been a bit skeptical when Marnie mentioned a blind date. But after all the good things she had to say about Luke. Well if he's half the guy she claimed then you were willing to try.

He swatted Marnie's hands away as she tried to straight his coat for the millionth time. She had been fretting over him since they met up. It was making his anxiety flare up terribly. If he hadn't already agreed to this he might head home. But there was no way he could disappoint his friend or a sweet stranger. So he took a deep breath and cleared his mind. “OK, I think I'm ready.”

Her smile widened. “Great. Now don't forget that the spell only last a few hours. Even though I still think it wasn't the best decision to begin with.”

Glancing at a nearby window, he couldn't help but admire his handsome face. He doesn't hate his goblin features, they just made him self-conscious. Especially when meeting a cute girl for a blind date. “I know how you feel, you've told me a ton of times. I just want to make the best first impression I can.”

She reluctantly nodded and spun him around. “OK, start with the movie, then dinner afterwards. The perfect first date.” She pushed him in the direction of the cinema. Grinning all the while.

He got to the theater in a few short moments. Still this was a new territory for him. Even with the artificial glow up, his heart was hammering. Steeling his nerves he turned the final corner and paused. There was no way that was his blind date. Looking up and down the street he knew there must be a mistake. You were the only person standing in the place Marnie had set up as a meeting spot. You were gorgeous, the vision of a goddess. Your plush body complimented well by the outfit you had chosen. He was enamored with the sight of you. It made him all the more sure of asking for the makeover. Making his way over he called out your name.

Spinning towards the call, you smiled warmly. Only for your brows to pinch in confusion. You could have sworn that Marnie said he was a goblin. So why was this human guy saying your name. “Hi, are you Luke?”

His grin broadened. “The one and only. It's nice to finally meet the girl that Marnie keeps talking about. Putting a beautiful face to the name and all.” He mentally cheered at your flushed cheeks. Maybe he could charm you into not caring about his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He held the door open as you both exited the cinema. “Can you imagine how much they spent on fake blood? I mean that scene at the end with the bloodfall.” You looked up at him as you gushed about the movie. Going on about the special effects and detail of the props. It was endearing how much you seemed to love movies. He loved your reactions and random comments. Every so often you would tug him towards yourself and whisper something in his ear. He always had to hold back a shiver at your cute action. Every moment he spent in your presence made him open up just a bit more. As if you were drawing out his true nature, without even meaning to. You were so sweet and inviting, it was impossible to not like you.

He tug subconsciously at his ear as he smiled down at you. “You know, you don't strike me as the type of girl that would be interested in a movie like that.”

You gazed at him with glittering eyes. “I love all kinds of movies. They're a great way to bring any story to life. Everyone's story deserves to be told.” If he became anymore enamored with you his heart may just beat right out of his chest.

As a nearby clock chimed loudly you wrapped your plush arm around his own. Surprised he had to stop himself from jumping. “Oh, I know just the place for a great bite. If you like diners that is.” Your full cheeks puffed up as you grinned widely at him.

“Yeah, I could go for a burger and shake.” His own smile spread as you made your way down the block.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dinner went even better than the movie. He could hear you talk for hours about anything. But the captivating way you spoken about movie was delightful. You listened to every opion he gave and giving your own in an intriguing way. It made his thoughts feel validated and encouraged.

You both enjoyed the food. He had to agree with you, it all tasted amazing. Though there was an awkward pause when the waitress brought out his shake with two straws. She threw a wink to your table and left.

With a small yet genuine he slid the glass towards you. “Go ahead and try. It's way to much for just me anyways.” He flushed at the sweet smile you gave him. Only for his grin to broaden as you shifted to second straw to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now you were strolling through the park. Your arm wrapped around his once again. Supple body pressed against his own. Enjoying the quiet peace and pleasant ambiance together.

You look up at him with dazzling eyes. “I've really enjoyed tonight Luke.” You gave his arm a tight squeeze, smiling softly.

He couldn't help but mirror your expression. It really has been one of the best nights of his life. He honestly wanted to hit himself over the head for not listening to his friend sooner. “I have too. This has been great. But don't tell Marnie, her head would get to big for her body.” He flushed at the sweet giggle you let out.

As the town centers clock chimes the late hour, he swiftly stops. Feeling his face shifting, he tries to turn away from you. Noticing the sudden change, you grip his arm tighter and ask what's wrong.

“I I I need to go.” He desperately wants to run. You couldn't see him like this, it would ruin everything. He covers his face with his hands.

Worried that he could be hurt, you pry his hands from his face. He squeezes his eyes shut, not wanting to see the disappointment on your face. “Luke, please, tell me what's wrong.”

His eyes widened in shock. Staring down at your face, he was surprised at what he saw. Your were worried, your eyes glittering with unshed tears. “I'm a monster, that's what. Or actually a goblin.” His shoulders sagged in resignation. “I ask Marnie to change my appearance so I would have a better chance with you. But I guess I was having such a good time, I didn't realize the hour. I understand if you want to never see me again.” His posture slouch further as he thinks about how stupid he was. That he would ever have a chance with a girl like you.

Bringing your hand to his cheek, you guided his eyes to yours. “Luke I've known from the beginning that you were a goblin. Marnie has shown me pictures of you before.”

His brows pinched as you admitted this. “You knew? And you still wanted to go on a date with me?”

You nodded enthusiastically. “Of course, how could I not. She could only say good things about you. I was actually the one who suggested the date.” Looking away shyly, you gave him a bashful grin.

Shaking his head, he smacked himself on the forehead. Sliding the hand down his face, he sighed. “I really have been dumb.”

Your melodious giggle sounded through the air. “How about you make it up to me on a second date.” He straighten up and hastily agreed. “I can tell you all about my heritage. I am an eighth troll after all.” Your smile widened at the disbelief on his face and the barrage of questioned that followed.

Our Stars Collided- Part 1

THIS IS THE SURPRISE IM WRITING A JATP SERIES AND IM SO EXCITED. This first one kinda sucks at first, but I swear it gets better the more you get into it.

Words: 2.1k

Summary: The reader has been wondering who the phantoms in the band are. But when she comes face to face with a phantom will she get her answers? (This does not follow all the events of the series)

Pairing: Luke x reader

Warnings: none, except bad writing

...........................................

You had lunch this period, you were one track minded in that moment, and b-lining for the cafeteria. But as you passed the lockers your half run nearly turned to a stop.

You had made eye contact with none other than the cute boy from Julie's hologram band. Except every single person in the hallway was acting like they couldn't see him. Which in their defense, they probably couldn't, you were probably going insane.

According to Julie they were holograms. But when everyone else had gasped in shock that they had suddenly disappeared, you continued to watch them. And yet no one else noticed. From that moment on you were convinced yourself that it had been a figment of your imagination. Until now, that was.

You figured it might raise suspicion if you continued staring into what everyone else believed to be nothing. So you hid behind a pole and watched.

Julie seemed to be just talking on the phone to everyone else. But you watched as she continued on her conversation with the supposed hologram. Their conversation wasn't anything interesting, it seemed to just be about what song they were playing in a few weeks; and the boy apologized for being somewhat difficult to work with. As you watched, another sophomore, named Nick approached. You peeked around the pole to see where the boy went and saw that he was staring right at you.

You flew back behind your hiding place. You felt your pulse quickening though you weren't sure if it was because you were afraid he'd seen you or for a different reason entirely.

After you'd calmed yourself down you opened your eyes, you saw the boy standing right in front of you, only a couple feet away. You clapped a hand over your mouth to keep yourself from screaming.

Wait, you can see me?" the boy asked. He sounded just as freaked out as you felt.

You nodded your head, with your hand still on your mouth.

The boy's eyes went wide for a moment. But then he looked like he was deep in thought. "Why can you see me?" he asked curiously.

Your expression went blank for a moment. How could you answer a question you didn't even know? Also did someone give you drugs, or was this actually happening?

"I have no idea, also are you even real?" You asked. You reached out to poke his shoulder, and you felt nothing. "Nope, I'm definitely imagining this," you said aloud to yourself.

You turned and started to walk away. "Wait!" the boy yelled.

"Yes, imaginary person who I have probably made up in my head?" you asked.

He talked as he walked to catch up with you. "I'm real, I'm very, very real. I'm just also dead."

You crossed your arms and faced him. "So you're a ghost?" you asked.

"Yes."

You crossed your arms. "So prove it, how do I know you're not a figment of my imagination?"

The boy paused for a moment to think. "Umm I know there's a student named Julie that goes here and she has fourth period dance class, and you probably don't know that, so how would a figment of your imagination know that?" After finishing his trail of thought the boy looked over at you with a hopeful smile.

You thought over it for a moment which was mildly difficult with that face looking at you. "Yeah, okay, that adds up I suppose." His smile turned into a slight smugness that he had convinced you.

"See, I told you I was real."

You pushed down the heat attempting to rise to your cheeks.

"But how?" you asked.

"Wellllllllll that's a little bit more of a complicated question," Luke explained, as he itched the back of his head.

Somehow, you were still getting more confused. "How is it complicated?"

"That's kinda a long story. But, I can explain some of it," he offered.

You gestured to him that the floor was his.

"Oh, not right now because I'm pretty sure I've made like at least five people think you're crazy already." He gestured around to people at their lockers who were staring at you.

"But I can tell you later, if you meet me at Julie's house, after school," he promised.

"Okay, yeah, I'm not doing anything, and I've been there before so I know where it is," you agreed.

"Cool! I never caught your name by the way," he mentioned.

"Oh it's y/n, and you are?"

"Luke, and I'll see you then!" He waved at you and in a poof he was gone.

It was definitely not a normal way to start your lunch. But you supposed that from the day that they had performed your life hadn't been normal.

Three hours later you found yourself standing in front of Julie Molina's house. You were silently hoping that this was the right house, because that would be a very interesting conversation if it wasn't. Luckily enough, Julie was the one who opened the door.

"Hi, um I'm here to see Luke?" you hesitantly asked.

"Oh yeah, he told me about you, come on I’ll show you where he is.” She closed the door and started leading you through a garden, as you tried not to read too deeply into what she had said. Eventually, you walked down a set of steps to some sort of studio. As she opened the wide white entrance doors you saw all three of the guys you had watched play with Julie a week ago.

You stood in shock for a moment. So you hadn’t been seeing things! You only came back to reality when you heard Julie say your name.

“Meet Reggie, Alex, and you already met Luke. So Reggie and Alex, meet y/n,” she introduced.

“Hello!” Reggie waved.

“Hi,” said Alex.

“Hi,” you responded.

“So now is your time to ask questions without someone thinking you are going insane,” Luke offered, as he sat down on a couch.

“Okay, so you guys are ghosts, right?”

The three all nodded their heads.

“But for some reason Julie and I can see you?” you observed.

“Yes, but we don’t actually know the reason for that. Or to a lot of things for that matter. But we think it might mean that you two are related to our pasts in some sort of way,” the one you remembered to be Alex, suggested.

“Okay, interesting. Do you know why people can see you when you play?” you inquired.

“No, I mean we think it’s because we are connected to Julie and that we are still connected with music, but other than that we have no idea,” Luke said.

You continued asking them questions for quite some time, until you couldn’t think of anything anymore. Granted, there was still a lot you didn’t know, but that was fine with you. Afterall, asking someone how they died felt a little too personal; even if they did make you think you were losing your mind for a week straight.

Eventually your conversation diverged into other matters like school, and music, and of course food.

“You play the guitar?” Luke asked in surprise.

You turned to him from a conversation you were having with Alex. “I mean, I’m not as good as you, but yes,” you admitted.

“Wait, you play guitar TOO?” Reggie asked in awe.

You had to laugh at the sudden fascination with you. “Yes, I do.”

Reggie seemed to be ecstatic. “You have to play something; here, use Luke’s guitar,” he offered.

Alex lightly slapped his arm and you watched the corner of your eye as Luke muttered something along the lines of what the hell Reggie.

“It’s okay, I don’t wanna steal someone else’s equipment, and I usually only play in my room by myself. Besides, you probably don’t wanna hear me anyways,” you pointed out.

“You don’t have to play, but that’s b.s. I’ve heard you’d play and you’re obviously talented,” Julie chimed in. You were slightly embarrassed but you accepted the compliment. Soon enough your conversation died down and it was decided that you should probably head back home as it was getting late. You waved goodbye to the boys and told Julie you would see her tomorrow.

As you ate supper, you realized that even though you had one of the most eventful days in history you could tell no one about it, including your family. Otherwise they would think you were just as insane as you thought you were. But you supposed there were worse problems to have then knowing a band that you couldn’t talk about.

As you got ready for bed you decided to bring out your acoustic guitar.

You started strumming before realizing there was a particular song you hadn’t played in a long while. It took you a couple attempts to remember the fingering for it, but once you did the music started to flow out of you.

“When the rain is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case. I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love.”

You then jumped to the melody at a higher octave. You decided to go all out and sing it to your heart's content.

“I know you haven’t made your mind up yet, but I would never do you wrong. I’ve known it from the moment that we met. No doubt in my mind where you belong.”

You strummed a couple more chords before placing your guitar down. You turned around and came inches away from Luke’s face.

“Shit!” you yelled on instinct. You paused for a moment to make sure no one had heard you, but you didn’t hear anything.

“What are you two doing here?” you hissed.

Reggie was the first to open his mouth. “Well uh you see here, we actually have a very good reason for being here. Yep, and Luke’s going to tell you that reason.” He clapped his bandmate on the shoulder, and Luke glared at him.

“Y/n I’m really sorry, but he really wanted to hear you play. And I was super curious too, and we just couldn’t resist,” Luke apologized.

You took a look at them still wanting to be mad, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. They looked not unlike sad puppies.

You fake sighed, but you couldn’t fight the smile on your face. “I guess I can let you guys off the hook this time.”

“I swear it won’t happen again,” Reggie promised.

“Next time just knock instead of scaring the shit out of me, okay?” you asked.

“You got it, though I can’t say we won’t scare you. I mean we are ghosts,” Luke teased, with a glint in his eyes that you couldn’t figure out.

You amusedly rolled your eyes at him, “Whatever, Luke.”

The next day you couldn’t really focus on your clases. All you could think about were theories on why you could see Alex, Reggie, and Luke and why everyone else couldn’t. By the time lunch rolled around you were very thankful Julie was in the same lunch period as you.

“Hey!” she greeted you.

“What’s up?” you asked, shutting your locker.

“Just something I want to show you, follow me,” she gestured. You didn’t know where she was taking you but you just shrugged and went with it. She led you over to the next set of lockers and down a set of steps to a pretty much vacant part of the school. And once you turned the corner you heard a very loud ‘surprise!’

“Aeeehp!” you yelled in shock.

“Oh my god, you guys have got to stop doing that,” you said to the three.

“Yeah, they never do,” Julie sighed.

“But anyways, we brought you down here to tell you, drumroll please?” Julie requested.

They all started stomping their feet.

“We want you to join Julie and the Phantoms!” Alex announced.

“Wait, what?” you excitedly asked.

“Well after the little stunt that Luke and Reggie pulled, which I do not approve of by the way,” she sent a glare back at the two of them, “we had a band meeting and decided that we want you in the band, that is of course if you want to be in the band?”

You were positively beaming. “Yes of course I do! But what do you want me to do? You already have two singers and an electric guitarist.”

“Well we always have room for more singing, and I’m just lead guitar. We used to have three guitars in sunset curve, so why not in Julie and the Phantoms?” Luke questioned.

“I’m game if you guys are.”

“So you’re in?” Reggie asked.

You smiled brightly, “I’m so in.”

[yellowsugarwords]

hi tay! i hope you're doing well. i had a lovely idea for a luke x reader headcannon. maybe an s/o who may not be too good at hunting, but they're CRAZY smart? like doctor spencer reid smart, yannow?

ooooo okay this is gonna be cute.

Luke didn’t know much about them when they showed up.

Only that they’d been abandoned by their previous group.

One of violence and selfishness.

Betrayal and bloodshed.

Luke was the one who stayed with them on their first night.

They had stumbled up to their doorstep.

Bloodied and beaten.

He didn’t need a reason.

He whisked them in without question.

It was that night in the kitchen did Luke learn more about them.

Sitting across the kitchen table.

They were too fearful to eat anything.

Only staring at the meal Luke made for them.

“They best us for not listening,” they said.

Eyes teary.

Voice weak.

“And when we couldn’t kill on command like they could,”

Y/N gulped.

“They almost beat us half to death.”

They turned away.

Closed their eyes.

Hugged their arms to their chest.

And lowered their head.

They were traumatized.

Petrified.

And Luke could do nothing to help.

He could only be there.

“They won’t get to you here.” Was all he could think to say.

Y/N didn’t sleep.

They couldn’t.

They were too worried.

They sat on the couch.

Sleepily blinking ahead.

Getting up to do chores when the rest of the house awoke.

Together, Luke offered to take them hunting.

Show them the ropes.

Keep an eye on them.

As they wandered into the woods, Luke heard them yawn.

“What did you do before all this?”

“You mean before the world ended?”

They chuckled sadly.

“I was still in school. Trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.”

“Did you have a decision?”

Y/N shrugged. “I was thinking about medicine.”

Luke whistled. “Oh, so you’re a genius.”

Y/N laughed heartily.

And Luke could swear his heart fluttered hearing the sound for the first time.

“Far from it.”

Luke smirked, knowing better.

They were modest; Luke knew what much for sure.

No matter what Luke tried when it came to hunting, nothing worked for Y/N.

Bow and arrow? Bust.

Knife? Bad idea.

Gun? Too loud.

Knife throwing? Disaster.

“Told you I was far from a genius.” Y/N said.

Adjusting their bag as they headed home.

They’d caught nothing.

“You told me you were going into medicine,” Luke scoffed.

Turning to them.

Playfully rolling his eyes.

“You’re book smart. I never expected you to be good at physical activity.”

To that, Y/N laughed.

And Luke felt his chest warm up again.

When they returned, it was afternoon.

The bulk of chores were underway.

And prep for dinner that evening had begun.

Which meant Luke and Y/N got to relax.

Together they sat on the couch.

And Y/N yawned.

Luke studied them, eyes waned and worried.

“You should get some rest.”

“I can’t.”

“You can. You should.”

Y/N hesitated.

Blinked.

Debating just how bad their exhaustion was.

“I don’t have anywhere to sleep.”

“Use my bed.” He said.

Y/N nervously met his gaze.

Luke only shrugged.

Anxiously, Y/N glanced over her shoulder.

Glancing for the other cabin crew members.

Flitting their gaze hesitantly to the staircase.

Luke leaned forward so his soft words could be heard.

“I’ll stay with you,” he said softly, “if you’d like.”

Y/N nodded.

Giving a sheepish smile.

Luke escorted them to his room.

Gestured to his freshly made bed.

And sat on the floor.

“Don’t leave me alone up here.” Y/N said.

And Luke didn’t complain.

Together, they sat together.

Softly chatting from time to time.

Y/N’s voice growing softer and softer.

Until Luke felt a weight on his shoulders.

And heard gentle, steady sighs.

And Luke closed his eyes.

Cheeks rosy and bright.

In blissful heaven.

Beside his future.

Recovery and Remembrance

When a new member of the SWAT team starts to pick on Y/N, she has to control her anger. Doing so ends up putting her life at risk as she remembers the times where her anger would have helped. Characters – Hondo, Jim, Victor, Luca, Chris, Jessica, Reader Word Count – 1939

‘What role do you play?’ Nick questioned you randomly after you had just gotten off the case. You rolled your eyes as you stopped, along with the team, them standing to your side. ‘They’ve got the girl covered now so…’ He trailed of as he motioned to Chris. ‘You’re just a waste of space.’ He commented, you held in the groan, he had had it out for you ever since he joined the team, you knowing fine well that it was because he was self-conscious and he was trying to make himself feel better. ‘Nick.’ Hondo warned him. You shook your head, before turning around and being the bigger man, walking away from the situation, but Nick didn’t get the memo. ‘Look, she even runs away from the situations, how does she do her job.’ He commented, you froze in your spot and the team could feel your mood change and they all took a step back from him. You spun around on your heel before walking over to him, the smirk that was etched in his lips, didn’t last long as you flung your fist forward connecting with his face. You reached for you gun and handed it to Chris. ‘I’m going for a walk.’ You told them, they all nodded as they watched you turned back around and wiggle your fingers, checking them.

-

‘Where’s Y/N?’ Jessica questioned. ‘She went for a walk.’ Hondo stated. ‘When?’ Jessica questioned, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. ‘An hour ago.’ He told her, he noticed the look on her face but then Nick walked in the room. ‘Maybe she’s given up.’ Nick commented, the bruises now turning purple around his eye. Hondo moved straight away pinning him to the wall. ‘Hondo.’ Jessica warned but looked at the others who shook their heads and continued on with what they were doing, so she stepped down but watched closely. ‘I’ve had enough of you. You come in here and we allow you to join our team, yet your out here bullying on of the members like a child.’ ‘You don’t know half the stuff that she has been through and you are lucky, very lucky, that you only got a single punch from her.’ Hondo said in his face, he swallowed thickly as Hondo let go of him. He shrugged his shoulders and stood up taller as Hondo turned around to Victor. ‘Can you trace her phone?’ He questioned, he typed away at the computer. ‘No, it’s switched off.’ He said, that when the team looked at each other before they nodded.

- 

As the first bow connected with your face, your head swung to the side, before he grabbed your cheeks making you look at him. ‘You gonna talk?’ He questioned you. ‘About what?’ You managed to get out with how hard he was squeezing your face, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at you. ‘The names of every person undercover.’ He said, you licked your dry lips before closing them, watching him closely. ‘You going to talk now?’ He questioned, you only continued to stare at him. He sighed before dropping your face before hitting you with the pole again, this time hitting your ribs. You simply closed your eyes and took deep breaths and thought back to when you first joined SWAT.

-

You walked into the building, carrying a bag with you but you came to a stop when you ‘You must be Y/N!’ You heard a voice behind you, you turned around nodded. ‘Yes ma’am.’ ‘Oh don’t call me ma’am, it’s Jessica.’ She said happily, you nodded. ‘Come with me and I’ll take you to the locker room and you can meet the team.’ She said, you lifted up your bag and flung it over your shoulder and followed her, looking at all the gadgets. ‘Go ahead, I need to tell Sammy something before I forget.’ She said, you nodded and carried on, pushing the doors open, you stepped into the locker room. ‘You look lost beautiful, maybe I could help you.’ A voice said, you looked up to see a group of five people watching you, you then made eye contact with the man with styled blonde hair. ‘You wish.’ You told him, he looked taken aback but then footsteps b=made him look behind you. ‘Hondo, Deacon, Street, Chris, Luca and Victor. I’d like you to meet your new team member, Y/N.’ Jessica introduced you to them, everyone laughed but Luca who looked shocked. ‘You look lost their Luca, need help?’ You questioned with a raised eyebrow, using his own words against him.

-

‘It’s Y/N.’ Jessica said as she answered the phone, putting it on speaker before sitting it on the table. ‘Y/N, where are you?’ Jessica questioned. ‘Ah, so that’s her name, it suits her.’ The mans voice said through the phone, they set about tracing the call immediately and trying to get voice recognition. ‘Who are you and what do you want?’ ‘I want you to hand over all the names of the undercovers and CI’s or your pretty little friend here, may no longer be able to speak.’ He threatened. ‘Okay, we’ll give them to you.’ Jessica said, the team looked at her. ‘Great, the abandoned warehouse on 56th and 2nd street in an hour, two of your men, unarmed. No vehicles or anyone else in sight or you’ll be picking up a dead body.’ He warned them, Jessica looked to Hondo, who nudged Jim’s shoulder, they nodded before taking their guns off 

- They opened the back doors to the van, Jim and Hondo watched as your bloodied body rested against the wall. The man grabbed your arm, before pulling your along, until your dropped to the ground. He shut the doors before walking over to Jim and Hondo, grabbing the envelope. He then turned around and walked back to the van getting in the front and speeding off. ‘Y/N.’ Hondo said as he fell to his knees at your head. ‘She’s got a weak pulse.’ Jim commented as he pressed two fingers to your neck, waiting for a pulse. ‘We need an ambulance here now.’ Hondo spoke into the radio. They both rested on their knees next to you, watching as your chest raised and fell ever so slightly.

-

You looked at the white car a few cars ahead of you, you then noticed the door opening. You quickly opened the door and got out. ‘What are you doing?’ Hondo asked you. You pointed to the cars in front of you and they all turned and looked out, noticing him run through the gaps between the cars. ‘Look, it’s grid lock. You guys can wait the flashing your lights and tooting your horn but I’m going by foot.’ You announced to them, they nodded as you flung the door open and took off down the road. You watched as he reached up and grabbed the back of the lorry pulling himself up onto the roof, running along it, before jumping down onto the cab and then onto the car in front. You heard the others leave the vehicle behind and start following. You tucked your gun away before you ran full speed down the outside of the cars, so he couldn’t see you. You could still see him, so you looked for a gap in the cars, which you didn’t see so you sighed before pushing yourself fast. When you were in align with him, you quickly crossed the cars and leapt over a bonnet of the car before tackling him to the ground satisfied to hear him groan. As you reached for your cuffs you heard heavy footsteps, you looked up at them and the people that were slowly emerging from their cars. ‘What?’ You asked, they shook their heads. ‘You flew like a bird.’ Hondo commented, you all heard Luca gasp before hitting Streets chest. You all turned and looked at him. ‘Got yourself a nickname, Birdie.’ He said, and you groaned, hoping you wouldn’t get a nickname, although you were glad that it wasn’t a bad one. ‘Really?’ You questioned, he shrugged his shoulders as watched you stand up and pull the man up behind him. You shook your head but smiled before you started walking the man back down between the cars, Luca and Hondo in front with Victor, Street behind you, Chris walking next to you. ‘You gonna chirp Birdie?’ The man in the cuffs asked, you turned to him. ‘You will when I hit your eggs.’ You answered with a straight face, before Chris burst out laughing the others smiling to themselves.

-

She walked through the compound, all eyes on her as the bruises hadn’t healed yet. The stitches still fresh, as everyone watched you walk through, you ignored them as you made your way through to the debriefing room. When you arrived at the door way you noticed Nick look at you before doing a double take, he stood up taller and on defence and the others got wind and turned to look at you. ‘You shouldn’t be here.’ Jessica commented. ‘I remembered something.’ You told them. ‘There’s a thing called a phone.’ Chris commented, you playfully glared at her. You walked around the table and stood in front of the table before typing into the computer with one hand. You then shared it to their screens. ‘They started speaking in a different language before they put me into the van, it only just came back to me.’ You told them, you typed the phrase into google translate, and let them hear it. They listened but it didn’t click. ‘Once we find him, he'll know not to mess with Dagger.’ You said, they looked at you as if you had two heads. You searched through the data base before clicking on a man, you let you see him. ‘Gregory ‘The Dagger’ Kowalski.’ You said, they then looked at you. ‘The crime boss.’ Victor commented, you nodded. ‘Who is he looking for?’ Luca questioned. ‘His younger brother, who went into police instead of the family business, putting a lot of the members behind bars.’ You explained to them, standing up taller, winching at the pain that ran through your side.

-

You sat on the metal bench, staring at the ground thinking about the past and what you had down. ‘You okay?’ Hondo questioned, you looked up at him and nodded before looking back down. You heard him walking over, before taking a seat next to you. ‘What are you thinking about?’ He questioned, you focussed on your fingers before looking up. ‘That maybe it’s time for me to retire.’ You said, and his head snapped up to you and watched you closely. ‘Don’t be doing this because of Nick.’ Hondo warned you, you shook your head. ‘Oh god no, I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction, but it’s what the doctor said to me.’ You said, he looked confused. ‘I’m lucky to be alive, and I am.’ You explained to him. ‘Y/N, it comes with the job.’ He said, you gave him a small smile. ‘I know, but I’m always the one that get kidnaps as everyone sees me as a weakness.’ You said, he looked at you and noticed that you had made up your mind, so he only nodded in understanding. ‘What will you do?’ He questioned, you shrugged your shoulders. ‘I have now idea, but first I’ll be going on a holiday that is long overdue.’ You said, he chuckled and nodded as he placed a hand on your knee. ‘You better send us a postcard.’ He commented and you laughed before nodding your head.

Ours Stars Collided- Part 2

Summary: As our reader, a musically gifted high school junior, navigates life she realizes not everything goes as planned. She didn't plan on getting close with Julie's band. But not any band, her band is made up of ghosts. But is the afterlife enough to keep her feelings in check towards the main guitarist?

Words: 3.8k

Pairing: luke patterson x reader

Warnings: none

...........................................

“Hey, you ready?” you asked.

“Yeah, just let me grab my stuff,” Julie answered.

She pulled the emoji covered backpack out of her locker and shut it.

“Alright, you ready?” she questioned, as she let you lead the way.

“Yes, and no,” you said, with a nervous smile.

She placed her hand on your shoulder. “You got this, besides, you’re in good hands with Luke,” she reassured you.

“No doubt about that, it’s just a matter of whether I’ll embarrass myself or not.”

She smiled genuinely at you. “You got this, trust me.”

You held the door open for her.

“That car is yours, right?” She pointed across the parking lot.

“Yep, that’s the one.”

You unlocked it and threw your bag in the back, before getting into the drivers side.

“Alright, whatcha wanna listen to?”

Julie paused in thought before hesitantly asking, “You know who Lizzo is right?”

“Oh my god yes! You listen to her too?” you excitedly asked.

“Yes! How could you not listen to Lizzo!”

“Lizzo it is then!”

The first song was Soulmate, followed by Tempo which the two of you practically yelled, and the third song was Like a Girl. When Truth Hurts came on you both gasped and made eye contact through wide eyes.

Soon enough your sound system was blaring through the car and the two of you were belting the lyrics.

“Help you witchya career just a little,” you sang. Then you pointed to Julie to take the next part.

“You supposed to hold me down but you holding me back and that’s the sound of me not calling you back!” Julie was somewhere in between belting and yelling and still managing to sound good.

Then the both of you took the chorus. “Why men great till they gotta be great, don’t text me tell it straight to my face!

You were both animatedly pumping your fists with bright smiles as you finally rolled into her driveway.

Julie opened the studio doors to the boys all sitting there, ready to go. “Well you guys certainly look like you were having fun,” Reggie commented, smiling.

“We did,” you agreed.

“But now it means that break time is over for you guys,” Julie teased them.

Alex had already poofed over to the drums before she said anything.

“Yes ma’am!” Reggie said, getting off the couch.

Luke had a playful smile on his face. “We were the ones working on a new song, so I think that means the break is up for you,” he teased.

You couldn’t help but notice their closeness in that moment, you tried not to; but a small part of you couldn’t help but wish that was you.

Julie just rolled her eyes at him and walked to her piano to put her bag down. And just like that the moment was over.

After you and Julie had settled in and warmed up your voices and practiced a bit with your instruments, you figured you should probably figure out what you were doing.

“So do you guys want me to sing, or play, or listen?” you asked.

They all looked over at you, but Luke was the first to speak. “I can show y/n a couple of the songs with her while you guys run through Bright. Then we can see how she fits into that?” Luke brainstormed.

He held eye contact with you for a few moments before shifting to his other bandmates to gage their reactions.

“Sure! Sounds good to me,” Alex offered.

“Yeah you guys can go sit up in the loft if you want, just so you won’t be distracted by us,” Julie suggested.

“Yeah, sure, come on newbie, let’s see what you got, shall we?” He gestured to the stairs, and allowed you to go first.

“Don’t you already know what I’ve got since you technically already heard me play?” you said, as you ascended the stairs with your guitar.

“Yeah, but that one doesn’t technically count since it wasn’t in here,” he argued.

You paused and turned around, as you desperately tried to fight the smile forming on your lips. “Well technically you shouldn’t break into someone’s room and watch them play without knowing, so,” you trailed off.

“And to think I wanted you to be in the band,” he tutted, with no malice in his voice.

You couldn’t hide the grin on your face now, so you instead choose to plop down on the floor and start on your guitar.

“Alright I’m gonna show you the first couple chords that I have for Bright,” he explained as his fingers effortly slid across his guitar. You watched as he repeated it a couple times before joining him.

He looked up at you as he continued to play. “You’re a fast learner,” he commented.

“Eh, I’m just a visual learner.”

“That must help, I mean with the music school that you and Julie go to. It must be easier to learn things,” he guessed. He continued watching you play.

“Well I mean yes, I go to the same school as Julie but I’m not in the music program,” you admitted.

Luke abruptly stopped playing. “What?”

“Yeah, I wasn’t able to get in.” You were getting somewhat embarrassed.

“Seriously?” he asked in disbelief.

“Seriously,” you confirmed.

“How could they not let you in? I mean you obviously belong there,” he insisted. He sounded slightly upset about the situation.

“There are plenty of people in that school that are much better than me Luke, trust me,” you reassured him.

He leaned forward slightly which forced you to make eye contact with him. He looked quite somber but his eyes seemed to reflect a sort of light; it was as if he was looking through your soul with how intense his gaze was. “I doubt that,” he said.

You nervously swallowed and hoped he didn’t notice. “Thank you,” you uttered quietly, though it did not obstruct the feeling in your voice.

“You’re welcome.” His gaze tore away from yours. You were half relieved and half disappointed.

“So you ready to learn the rest of the song?” He said, breaking the rest of the momentary silence in the loft.

“Whenever you are.”

“Is she show ready?” Julie asked as you walked back down the steps twenty minutes later.

“I think she can manage,” you responded. You sounded more confident than you felt.

“Alright, let’s start Bright from the top. Y/n I want you to sing the chorus, pre-chorus, the second verse and then out to the end of the song, except for the bridge. Luke I’m gonna have you not sing, just for this one. And I will sing the intro, chorus, pre-chorus, the bridge, and verse one. Y/n just sing on this one, we’re not gonna add your guitar yet,” she explained.

You were glad she had a plan, so you at least knew what you were doing. You attempted to shake out your nerves a little bit and Julie gave you a thumbs up from her piano.

She started her intro and of course she sounded amazing. Luckily, you had listened to their song before so you knew when you needed to come in.

“Life is a risk but I will take it

Close my eyes and jump, together I think that we can make it

Come on let’s run”

The guys joined in with their instruments as the two of you reached the chorus. You started to relax through the chorus until you remembered that you would be singing on your own in a couple seconds. Pulling up your previous lesson from Luke in your mind, you tried to remember how high he had you sing it, it wasn’t quite Julie’s level but it was definitely higher than his. You once again made eye contact with Luke who mouthed ‘you got this’ with a determined look on his face. You heard the drums starting to quiet slightly and you knew you were up.

“In times that I doubted myself

I felt like I needed some help

Stuck in my head with nothing left

I feel something around me now

So unclear, lifting me out

I found the ground I’m marching on”

You were once again back with Julie’s voice as she came to stand beside you. You turned to face one another and sang with a harmony you were quite certain you hadn’t heard before. She was practically glowing with happiness and you couldn’t help but reflect that same joy on your own face.

As her individual part finished up again the two of you sung the final parts of the song as you went low on the last bright as she sung her iconic high note. The music faded and you couldn’t help but cheer a little bit.

Julie pulled you into a tight hug. “See I told you you’d be amazing!”

You returned the hug. “Thank you, but you should seriously hear yourself. You are so talented.”

“She’s right y/n you sounded really good,” commented Alex from the back; Reggie nodded in agreement.

“Thanks Alex,” you replied. A small smile was on your face and a certain amount of heat was creeping up to your cheeks from the levels of attention on you.

Luckily, Julie quickly took it off of you. This time she was going to have you play a version of Luke’s part on the guitar but complimented it as he sang; which you were grateful for because it meant you could take a background seat for a minute.

Julie started up on her piano again. This time you were waiting for the chorus to start, and as it did you almost forgot what you were doing when Luke started singing. Sure you had heard him sing this song in full once before. But damn could that boy sing.

It wasn’t until the chorus hit that things started to go wrong for you. You once again couldn’t help but notice their closeness, or the way they looked at each other. You continued on playing but you would be lying if you said it was with the same energy you had minutes ago.

The final chorus hit and your face had fallen all the way from buzzing with joy to mopey. You noticed Reggie creeping up from your right and your spirits were slightly raised as you watched him awkwardly wink at you and walk over to finish the rest of the song with you. For a second he made you forget all about your moment of sadness. As you finished up the last of the chords with each other you ended up back to back towards the end of it, for dramatic effect. Alex laughed as the song ended and he noticed the stance you and Reggie had chosen.

“What?” Reggie grinned.

“That was awesome!” you yelled, high fiving him

“Yeah it was!” he said, mirroring your enthusiasm.

“Ya know I think she’ll fit in quite nicely,” Luke observed. You could’ve sworn you saw him smirk and his eyes move slightly, but it was only for a moment.

Julie smiled in a slightly mischievous way. “I think she will too,” Julie agreed, as if you weren’t in the room listening to their conversation.

“You guys know I’m right here right?” you quipped from the other side of the room.

“Yeah I know, but I have a LOT of homework so we gotta wrap this up.”

“I can do that!” You raced over to the couch to get your stuff.

“Gentleman and Julie, it was lovely playing with you and I will see you all tomorrow,” you said as you waved goodbye. They all waved back as you pulled out of her driveway.

It turned out that heavy homework wednesdays were becoming a thing for Julie because in the following week she was told she wasn’t allowed to have band practice until her homework was done. She said something about her dad not being too happy about her staying up till twelve doing it. Though Julie didn’t sound so happy about it either, for obvious reasons; but she did of course want to have band practice, so she promised all of you she would be done as quick as possible. But she still needed a ride home, and Flynn’s house was on the way to your house, so you offered to drive her too.

Flynn called shotgun which Julie groaned about, but she took the back. You turned on Lizzo before putting the park in reverse to get out of the parking lot and driving off.

“So how is your new spot in the phantoms going?” Flynn asked.

“I would say pretty good, but I’ll let Julie answer that one.”

“She’s doing really well, her and Luke have really figured out how to compliment one another on the guitars, and she gets along great with all of them,” Julie responded.

“Well I think they might, maybe, just maybe, be keeping you,” Flynn told you, sarcastically.

“Thank god they are, I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t," you worried aloud.

“Probably would’ve still thought you were insane,” Flynn suggested with a shrug.

“Harsh! But, yeah, probably,” you admitted, laughing a little bit, and the other two joined you.

“At least now I can get people off my back about me and Luke,” Julie spoke. Flynn pointed at her in acknowledgement.

Now that peaked your interest. “What?” you asked, trying to sound nonchalant about it.

Julie casually waved you off. “Oh just people thinking Luke and I are together.”

You thought you were going to jump up and down from excitement, “Wait, you guys aren’t together?” You hoped you didn’t sound as excited as you felt.

Julie had a borderline concerned look on her face. “Ohhhhh definitely not, we are just friends, and neither of us want to be anything more. I mean don’t get me wrong, I see the appeal, but he’s not my type,” she explained.

“Yeah cause her type is Nick,” Flynn sang, snapping her fingers.

Suddenly a lightbulb clicked. “Was that the guy you were talking to by your locker the day Luke saw me?”

Julie facepalmed in embarrassment. “Yes.”

“See she’s not even denying it,” Flynn pointed out.

“That’s true,” you agreed, looking through your rear mirror at your bandmate.

Flynn's face suddenly turned from mischievous evil to somehow even more evil. “Though I mean we could instead talk about how you obviously think Luke is cute.”

Now that took you by surprise. “I do not!” you insisted.

Flynn’s eyes got slightly larger with her raised eyebrows and she pursed her lips. “Okay so we’re lying now?” she teased.

Julie laughed before slamming her hand over her mouth. “Flynn stop, if she says she doesn’t like him then she doesn’t.”

“Thank you Julie.” You specifically enunciated Julie and Flynn stuck her tongue out at you. And just as she did you turned onto Julie’s road.

You waved goodbye to Julie, wishing her luck with her homework. And then went to drop Flynn off before arriving home yourself.

You rummaged through the fridge to find something and you managed to settle on an orange before also finding hummus and pretzels.

You sat down in your empty kitchen and took a bite of a hummus covered pretzel, and realize you forgot to get water. You turned around to come face to face with Luke…. again.

“HOLY SHIT!” you yelled. It wasn’t your first time but it didn’t mean it wasn’t just as scary.

“Sorry didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, not looking very sorry at all.

“You have got to stop doing that.” You walked past him and by that you mean you accidentally walked through him. You turned back to him for a moment to see if he was okay but he seemed to be looking at you curiously so you assumed he was fine.

“No promises, remember? It’s kinda a ghost thing,” he reminded you as he followed you around your kitchen.

“Okay well what do you and your ghost thing want?” you asked, immediately regretting your choice of words. You could practically feel his smirk from behind you.

“Did you just-” he started but you cut him off.

“Nope, no, no I didn’t. What do you want Luke?” You were trying to pivot and luckily, he took the bait.

“Well, can you come to the studio?” he asked.

“Yes, I was already going to be coming there later.” You were getting slightly confused.

“No, I mean like now,” Luke explained.

“Why?” you asked, finally sitting back down with your water.

“We’re bored,” he confessed, slouching on your table.

“You came here to tell me you’re bored?” you giggled.

“Well I guess technically, yes, so can you come?” he impatiently asked. He just looked restless. Though you supposed being in a garage for a large majority of your day and only having two other people to talk to would do that to a person, or ghost in this case. But unfortunately, you still couldn’t come.

“Sorry Luke, I already told my parents I would be leaving later tonight, and I don’t wanna have to switch plans on them,” you apologized.

“Oh come on, your parents aren’t even home,” he pointed out.

“I’m well aware, but I try to keep my promises to them,” you defended. Though he looked so goddamn cute at the moment you could feel your will power breaking.

“It’ll be fun!” he promised. He must’ve known that his smile could get to you because when you looked at him you swore it had grown three sizes.

“Tempting, but I’m gonna have to pass.”

“Please?” he asked. You looked him in the eyes, which was a big mistake because he was giving you a puppy face. I mean it’s not like you already thought he was cute, but this? This was on a whole nother level. His lips were in a slight pout as his head was tilted doward just a smidge, and his blue eyes mocked sadness, in a way that was just unbearable.

“Okay, okay, fine,” you agreed, you tried to sound annoyed but it didn’t work in the slightest.

“Yes!” he shouted.

“Just let me grab my keys, wait, can you even go in a car?” Could he even get in the car? Could he get in the car, and then his physical state or lack thereof, could suddenly go away and he wouldn’t be sitting in the car anymore? But Luke’s voice interrupted your hypotheticals.

“How about I just meet you there?” Luke suggested.

“Good idea,” you agreed.

Ten minutes later you had pulled up to Julie’s house and entered the studio. “Oh hey Reggie,” you greeted, taking a seat on the couch.

“Oh hi y/n! Are you here to practice with us, or? Not that I mind you being here,” he quickly stammered out.

“It’s fine, you’re okay Reggie, I know I’m not usually here unless it’s for practice. But yeah, I’m just here to hang out.”

“Oh, cool!”

“So where’s everybody else?” you asked.

“Well I think Alex is with Willie and I’m actually not sure where Luke is,” he answered.

“I wonder wh-” you started, but you had a feeling that someone had landed beside you.

Which, of course Luke had, and practically right on time too.

“Sorry, I was just checking on Julie and seeing how much homework she has,” Luke explained.

“How’s it looking?” you asked.

“Not so great, she still has a lot left to go,” Luke admitted.

You shrugged. “Well I’ve got nowhere to be.”

And for the next two hours or so the three of you sat there and talked about all sorts of things, from mundane things, to really deep things, to things they missed the most about being alive. Which mostly consisted of food, not that you blamed them.

Soon enough Luke went to go check up on Julie again.

“Are you cold?” Reggie asked you.

“No,” you lied.

“Dude, I can see you, you’re literally shivering.”

“Yeah, I forgot to grab a jacket before I left my house,” you admitted.

“Here-” he threw a jacket at you, “wear this one, it’s nice and warm.”

“Reggie you really don’t have to-” you started, but he insisted; and you were pretty cold so you gave in.

In a couple of minutes Luke returned to the same spot.

“How’s it looking now?” you asked.

“I don’t think she’s gonna,” Luke suddenly stopped mid sentence to glance over at you, “nice jacket y/n.” For whatever reason, he had a very interesting look on his face, to say the least.

“Thanks, Reggie lent it to me.”

“Oh is that so?” he asked, now turning to look at Reggie, who looked slightly frightened.

“Um, yes?” you said, though it was more of a question.

Luke turned to you, “Y/n?”

“Yeah?” you responded.

“You know that’s my jacket right?” he asked.

Now you also turned to stare down Reggie, “What was your intent with this-”

“Wait what’s his full first name?” you asked Luke in a whisper.

“Reginald,” he whispered back.

“What was your intent with this Reginald?” you asked.

“I have no idea what you guys are talking about,” Reggie said, looking up at the ceiling.

Luke took one step towards him and Reggie yelped before poofing out.

“Why does he keep offering up your stuff?” you laughed.

He scoffed, “I wish I knew.” It seemed like he did know but you weren’t going to press him on it.

“Oh, here, you can have your jacket back now.” You awkwardly handed it over to him.

“Oh, thanks. You did look good in it though, by the way,” he casually mentioned.

You were pretty sure your brain just shut down for a couple seconds. “What?” you asked, you were still working to catch up with what just happened.

“I said, you looked good in it,” he repeated, as his voice was becoming soft and slightly deeper.

“Thanks,” you managed to mumble out. But meanwhile you thought your face was on fire.

“Oh also you might wanna head home, Julie said she’s not gonna be able to practice tonight,” he mentioned.

“I probably should, but hey, I’ll see you tomorrow!” you yelled as you left the studio.

“See ya!” he yelled and waved.

By the time you got home there was a note on the kitchen table, ‘Don’t worry I cleared it with Luke this time -signed Reggie’ and next to the note sat the jacket. You laughed quietly to yourself before taking the note and the jacket upstairs with you.

[yellowsugarwords]

okay okay listen.... the world needs more luke and reader hcs.... and i hear you're dealing.... haha jk... unless?

here are the goods, friend

Luke didn’t want to develop feelings for anyone.

In their world, it was dangerous.

Sign of weakness.

Vulnerability.

He could love his team.

But that was different.

That was necessary for survival.

Loyalty.

But romance?

He couldn’t risk it.

That was, until Y/N came along.

Something about them was different.

They made him feel different.

“Need help?” They asked.

He was chopping firewood in the front lawn.

Luke eyed them carefully.

Then shrugged.

“I wouldn’t say no.”

Y/N was a new addition to their group.

Another Carver runaway.

And was adapting to the group nicely.

Mainly, they were sent out to do work.

Collect firewood.

Hunt.

Things that required them not to be in the cabin.

Most of the group didn’t trust them yet.

But something about Y/N made Luke trust them.

He thought they got it.

While they’d all ran away.

And handed her the axe.

“Go for it. I’ll grab us some water.”

And Y/N smiled.

Luke and Y/N sat together at dinner.

After all, Luke was the one who spoke to them the most.

Other than the kids.

Everyone else was still wary.

Luke always asked for Y/N to join her.

For chores, for tasks, even just to kill time.

And they always said yes.

Because they appreciated the company.

Especially his.

“You’re easy to talk to.” he said one day.

Y/N’s ears went pink. “I am.”

Luke nodded. “You’re so understanding and quiet.”

Y/N smiled.

“You’re a great listener and a kind person. We’re lucky to have you.”

And it was the nicest thing Y/N had ever been told.

Luke was on night watch one night.

And had passed over the roll to Alvin so he could sleep.

As he was on his way to his room, he heard something.

And paused.

From the door on his right, he heard ragged breathing.

Wheezing.

Faint crying.

He studied the door, then his eyes widened.

It was Y/N’s room.

Immediately, he knocked on the door.

He heard a jolt from inside the room.

And a faint whimper.

Hen silence.

He peeked the door open.

“Y/N?” he asked softly.

Spotting them curled up on their bed

Their head in their hands.

Their body shaking and pale.

“Hey,” he hushed softly.

Closing the door behind him.

“Are you okay?”

Y/N’s breathing was ragged.

They turned away.

Hiding their face from his view.

“Yeah.”

Luke knew it was a lie.

And drew closer to sit on the floor beside them.

Not wanting to invade their space.

“What’s going on?”

They sighed.

And rubbed their hands over their face.

“I struggle with getting over what happened at the warehouse.”

Luke frowned.

Not following.

Based on his silence, Y/N knew that.

They turned to eye him.

And Luke realized how severely they’d been crying.

He could feel his heart crack.

“Carver hurt me.”

They looked away again.

Feeling a new wave of tears.

Luke’s chest tightened.

“And it’s hard for me to feel comfortable here.” They finished.

If Luke had the chance, he’d deck Carver.

Then and there.

If only he was given the opportunity.

“Y/N…”

“I don’t want pity.” They said.

Wiping their new tears away.

Sniffling and looking down.

“I’m just struggling.”

Luke sat on the edge of their bed.

And Y/N didn’t budge.

“I just want to feel safe again.” Y/N whispered.

Luke watching as tears crashed onto their jeans.

He leaned forward to hold them.

His arms wrapped around their back and shoulders.

And Y/N let them.

And it was an honour to them both.

Luke woke up the next morning to yelling.

He made his way downstairs.

“You can’t do that.”

“I didn’t mean--”

“Save it.”

Rebecca and Y/N were fighting.

And Luke tensed as he hit the ground floor.

Listening to Rebecca’s yelling in the kitchen.

“What were you thinking?”

“I was just trying to do something nice--”

Y/N’s voice was faint and hushed.

“I knew we couldn’t trust you.” Rebecca spat.

“What? No--”

“You’re sabotaging us. Carver sent you, didn’t he?”

Finally, Luke peeked his head into the room.

Cans of food were opened on the counter.

Poured into dishes.

But prepared incorrectly.

Rebecca stood in front of the door.

Blocking Y/N’s way out.

Y/N was as pale as a ghost.

Her hands shaking and clung together.

Her body tense and small.

“Hey,” Luke said, starting inside.

Rebecca turned around.

He slipped past her. “What's going on?”

“Carver’s little friend is sabotaging our food.”

“I wasn’t, I--”

“You opened how many cans and prepped them all wrong?”

Y/N flinched at Rebecca’s tone.

“That’s all wasted!”

“Rebecca!” Luke snapped.

Both of them jumped.

“Ease off, okay?”

He glared as he spoke.

“You know the condition they were in when they arrived here.” he said.

And Rebecca’s shoulders softened.

They’d been in terrible shape.

So bad Carlos thought they wouldn’t make it through the night.

And Luke learned that was the cause for Y/N’s trauma.

The fact that Rebecca was challenging them?

Claiming that they were on the side of the man who did that to them?

Luke felt his blood boil at the accusation.

“It was an honest mistake.” He said through gritted teeth.

Rebecca frowned, brow pressed.

“They were trying to make breakfast for us.” Luke continued.

Not allowing her a chance to speak.

“Have a heart. They’re trying to be nice.”

Rebecca’s eyes widened.

Luke slipped a palm behind Y/N’s back.

And escorted them out of the kitchen.

Rebecca had never seen Lue talk back that much.

That angrily.

That meant something.

But she didn’t know what.

Luke sat with Y/N while they calmed down.

By the fire.

A hand on their shoulder or leg.

Keeping them stable and present.

“Thank you.” They whispered.

Luke turned. “For what?”

“Being so patient with me.”

They looked away.

“For trusting me.”

To that, Luke smiled.

“It’s hard not to.”

And Y/N turned to him.

And smiled too.

But their heartbeat didn’t quell.

But they both knew why.

Rebecca poked her head out.

And spotted their lips pressed together by the fire.

She slinked away again back into the kitchen.

Now she knew why.

And she would attempt to come to terms with accepting it.

Luke and Y/N didn’t care.

They had each other.

That was all that mattered.

‘We should date.’ Luke said, as he sat across from you slightly tipsy. You raised an eyebrow at him. ‘Why should we date?’ You asked him trying to stop the smile crossing your lips as you were starting to feel the affects of alcohol as well, but you hadn’t drank as much as him. ‘Because we are attracted to each other.’ He stated, you chuckled. ‘I’m attracted to pie, but I do not feel the need to date pie.’ You told him truthfully. ‘I could eat pie though.’ You said, drawing your attention away from him. ‘I could eat you.’ He suddenly said you looked at him ‘What?’ you asked him, his eyes were starting to close now. You chuckled before you downed your drink and took his away from him. he made a sound of protest. ‘Don’t start, we’re going home now.’ You told him, he stood up and made his way to the exit, you waved to the rest of the team before following him, grabbing his jacket that he left behind. ‘Luke.’ You said, he turned to you and smiled at you holding his arms open for you. You walked up to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulder ‘We need to wait for a cab to pick us up.’ You said as you got your phone out and dialled the number, giving him the address before hanging up.

‘What did I do last night?’ Luke asked as he rolled over to face you. ‘First of lost your key, good thing there was a spare one.’ You told him, moving your hand up to stroke his shoulders. ‘Secondly you asked why we weren’t dating.’ You said amused, he looked at you embarrassed. ‘Then you said you’d eat me because I was talking about pie.’ You informed him, he closed his eyes and rubbed his head as he sighed. Moving closer to so he was pressed up against you. ‘Is it all coming back to you?’ You asked, he nodded, and you chuckled. ‘You know I have to say it’s pretty interesting watching my boyfriend hit on me.’ You said, as you stroked his hair, he chuckled slightly, his was breath causing shivers down your spine as it hit your neck. ‘How good was I?’ He questioned, you looked at him. ‘Amazing I honestly only now understand why I fell in love with you.’ You said sarcastically, he groaned burying his head deeper into your neck.

‘Hey.’ Luke said shocked, when he saw you sitting at his desk. ‘Hey.’ You said as you got up and gave him a quick hug, pulling back both of you were smiling. ‘What are you doing here?’ He quizzed you. ‘Garcia phoned, saying that you were all heading back and that you were extremely upset that you had to leave me.’ You teased him, he smiled and looked down. ‘You know she really cares about you.’ ‘She does?’ Luke asked shocked as she looked back to the brightly dressed blonde. ‘Yeah, she was doing everything in her power to convince me that you should be given the chance of a second date, but I didn’t really need any convincing.’ You told him, his head snapped in your direction. ‘Still doesn’t explain why you’re here?’ He teased, ‘Okay, I’ll leave then.’ You said as you turned around, but his hand on your wrist stopped you. ‘Don’t.’ He said, you turned around and looked at him. ‘Okay, I was wondering if you wanted to try the date again.’ You suggested, he smiled and nodded but looked at the ground. ‘I would love to but, I’m really tired and –‘ He started but you cut him off. ‘Just want to watch rubbish TV.’ You asked him, he raised an eyebrow and nodded. ‘Wine and pizza are at mine, if you’d like to come?’ You asked him, he smiled wider and nodded. ‘Lead the way.’ He said, wrapping one arm around your shoulder, the other keeping his duffle bag in his shoulder, you wrapped on around you ‘And Garcia the match maker works again.’ Garcia said, as they watched you enter the lift with Luke.
