‘so you are quinns friend?’

Jack Hughes x reader

Words: 1933

Summary: quinn brings his friend to the lake house and jack takes intrest on her.

Note: i hope you enjoy reading this! Send in requests!

You were scared but also excited to go to the hughes lake house. You knew that the guys who were at the lake house were childish. That made you feel better. Now you and quinn were in the car driving to the house. Your leg was bouncing up and down when all the thought ran through your mind. ”Y/n chill out, everything is gonna be fine.” Quinn says when he notices your anxiety. You just nod and start to watch some show.

When your car finally arrives to the house. Quinn and you take your bags and walk towards the front door. When you get inside it’s quiet. ”Everyone is prob on the backyard.” Quinn says and continues to carry his bags upstairs. You two drop your bags and unpack before heading back down. ”Let’s go outside.” Quinn says. ”I’m gonna grab water do you want?” You ask him. He nods and you go grab water from the fridge.

Quinn opens the sliding door for you to walk outside. The first thing you see is group of boys playing soccer on the land. ”Quinn and quinns friend is here!” Someone of the yells. ”Sup guys! This is y/n” Quinn answers. They all say hi to you. ”Y/n this is jack, trevor, cole, alex, matt, luke, josh and moyni.” Quinn says and points at everyone. You nod at him.

Quinn joins the soccer game and you sit down to the outdoor couch and scroll on your phone. ”Hey Quinn, i’m tired so i’m gonna take a quick nap.” You say and get up. You head upstairs and throw yourself to the bed. Sleep takes over you and you drift off in a minute.

”Y/nnn.” You hear quinn whisper. You open your eyes and look at him. ”Yeah?” You ask him and rub your eyes. ”We made food so come to eat.” He says and grabs your arm to pull you with him.

You sit down next to quinn and alex is on the other side of you. ”So y/n what do you do for living?” Cole asks. ”Umm well, i’m working as media worker for the canucks but this was my first season there. I played volleyball in texas for the Athletes Unlimited before going to vancouver.” You answer. ”Why did you move to vancouver and stopped playing?” Trevor asks. ”I tore my acl, and i moved to vancouver cause my ex boyfriend lived there.” They all look at you with sad expression when you mention your injury.

”Where are you from?” Moyni asks. ”Minnesota” you answer. They all nod and then switch the subject. The dinner goes past nicely with small converstation. Everyone was included in the converstation, but jack, he said couple things but he was diffrent than you thought. He was quiet.

“Lets go outside to start the fire, someone grab drinks.” Trevor says. “I can take the drinks.” you say and head to the kitchen fridge. You count enough cans but realise that you cannot carry them all at once. “I can help.” you hear jacks voice say from the doorway. “Thanks that would be needed.” you say and grab a pile of cans.

You two walk outside and hand out the beers for anyone. There are two chairs left next to each other so you sit down on the other what is next to Quinn. jack sits on the other one. Everyone starts drinking and chatting together. More drinks are being handed. You finally start to feel like you are getting closer to them. The music is playing and your fav song come up. You start singing it quietly but hear someone else also sing it. You look next to you and see jack singing it. He smiles at you and sends wink to you. This causes your cheeks to flush. You quickly hide your face to the can and take a sip. When you take a look back at jack you can see him smirking.

“I’m gonna head to bed, are you coming?” Quinn says and looks at you. “In a bit” You answer him. He nods and goes inside. Some of the other boys follow him. Now there is only Jack, alex and trevor besides of you outside. “I’m gonna sit on the dock for a moment and watch the sky so goodnight if you guys go to bed.” you say and get up. “Goodnight.” They all say together.

You sit down to the dock and watch out to the lake. It looks so peaceful, even your tipsy mind understand it. ”You should go inside so you wont come cold.” You hear jacks voice from further away. You turn around to look at him. ”I’m fine, don’t worry.” You say and turn back to the lake. He stays quiet. You look back and see that he is gone. Suddenly a warm blanket is thrown over your shoulders. It was jack again. He sits down next to you. ”Thanks.” You mumble. ”So you are quinns friend? Only a friend?” He asks. You nod at him. ”He is a really close friend of mine. And it’s a good thing ofc.” You say. He nods.

”So you told us about your ex, what happend?” He asks. ”when i moved to vancouver with him, we lived together for a month until i caught him cheating.” You say. ”Oh i’m sorry for you. You didn’t deserve it.” He says and looks at you softly. You just nod at him. He notices how sleepy your eyes look like. ”You should go to bed.” He says. ”I can sleep here im too lazy to walk up there.” You mumble. He chuckles before scooping up to his arms. ”What are you doing?” You ask him. ”I’m carrying you to sleep cause you are too lazy.” He says and continues his way to your bedroom.

He sets you to the bed next to quinn. ”Goodnight to you y/n.” He says and brushes some hair out of you face. ”Goodnight jacky.” You mumble and cuddle your cover.

When jack leaves the room he has a weird feeling in his chest. He decides to ingore it and get to sleep.

Next morning you wake up next to quinn. You remember things from last night, but some parts were empty. You get up and walk to the kitchen to grab water. You sit down to the counter chair and start to scroll on tik tok. ”Boo!” Is yelled into your ear as someone grabs your shoulders. ”Holy fucking shit you scared me.” You say and look at trevor who is laughing his ass of. Also alex and cole entered the kitchen. ”Well good morning to you too zegras. This feels like you didn’t meet me the first time yesterday.” You say. He just laughs. Everyone else also enters the kitchen, they prob woke up to trevor yelling.

”So what is todays plan?!” Jack shouts. ”The plan is you to not to speak so loud.” Quinn says at him. Jack just sends him a look. ”Beach volley?” Cole suggests. Everyone agrees with it. Soon you all are walking oit of the front door. You guys drive to the beach and set your bags to the sand. ”So what are the teams?” Alex asks. ”I take y/n!” Jack yells. Everyone looks at him confused. ”She used to play volleyball that’s why.” Jack says. The other make two people team and you and jack start against quinn and luke. On the other net there is cole and alex against trevor and moyni. Josh and matt are waiting for their turn.

The day goes on. You and jack win all of your games. ”We are the champions!” Jack yells and brings you for a hug. ”Hahaa you guys are losers.” You say and show L to everyone else. ”Y/n that’s rudee.” Trevor groans. ”Sorry not sorry.” You say and high five jack. Everyone sets their towels to the sand and the boys run to the water. ”So you and jack seem to get well along?” Quinn asks as he sits down next to you. ”What to you mean?” You ask. ”Well the beach vball games and then the fact that he carried you to bed last night.” Quinn says and gives you a look. “Oh i forgot about last night.” You say and rub your face. “Mhm, i’m fine with it as long as he doesn’t hurt you.” Quinn says and throws his arm over your shoulders. “Dude i met him yesterday.” You point out. He just shurgs his shoulders.

“I’m hungry.” Moyni says when he comes from the water. “Me too.” Alex groans. “Lets go eat then.” You say and start packing your stuff. “Can we eat McDonalds?” Jack pleads. Everyone agrees so we drive there and order. “I’m gonna find us a table.” You say and walk away from the line. You find enough long table were everyone can fit.

You sit down and some random guy sits next to you. “The full table is taken.” You say. “I can sit here for a moment” The creepy guy says. “Nah no need to.” You say and pull your chair further away. “Oh why don’t you pretty girl wanna talk with me.” He says and tucks a piece of hair behind your ear. You slap his hand away and her grabs your wrist. “Let the fuck go off her!” You hear jack yell and run towards you. He pushes the guy of the chair and sends him the death stare. “Leave, now!” Jack demainds. The creep runs of and jack turns to look at you. “Are you okay?” He asks and sits down to the chair. You look down to your wrist. He gently grabs it and you see fire forming into his eyes. “There is gonna be a bruise on it.” He says. You nod. “I’m gonna ask for ice.” He says and leaves the table. You look around and see that all the other boys have came to the table, they look at you with soft expression.

“Here i got the ice.” Jack says and holds it to your wrist carefully. The food come and you all start eating, jack still basicly holding your hand. “So good.” You groan. Everyone laughs at you. “I’m ready to go home and sleep for 12 hours.” you say and get up from the table. You take out the ice from jacks hand and throw the melted ice bag to trash.

Once you arrive the lake house everyone trails their way to their rooms. You instead head to the kitchen to grab water. Jack also stays at downstairs and follows you to kitchen. “Does it hurt anymore, your wrist i mean.” he asks softly. “Not so much.” you answer and sit down to the counter chair. “He should have not touched you liked that.” He murmurs. “Jack, everything is okay now, you saved me, thank you.” You say and open your arms to offer him a hug. He immediately comes to hug you. He tucks your head under his chin. ‘Did he just smell my hair, shit it must smell so sweaty’ you thought. “You smell good.” He mumbles. This causes you to blush. You pull away and look at him. He looks at your eyes then his eyes trail down to your lips. “Can i kiss you?” He asks. You nod and he immediately presses his lips to yours.

“wow” You breath out once you pull away. “Yeah right, i could get used to that.” He smiles, ‘oh his smile’ you think and it causes you to smile back. “me too.” You whisper.

light on

The one where Y/N is the daughter of a legendary Team USA coach and used to attend the development program with the boys. 8 years after they last saw each other in person, a reunion brings Jack and Y/N back into each other’s lives... and hearts.

if you keep the light on, i'll keep the light on

IX XX - the lost art of keeping a secret XXI

“So...”

“So...” Y/N mimicked, raising an eyebrow.

“What’s the story we’re using?” Jack inquired, uncomfortably shifting his feet and scratching the back of his head.

The whole thing about keeping their recent relationship a secret for the time being to avoid the usual Who? What? Where? When? Why? was a big ordeal for the brunette man, whose poker face was as good as none. He was terrible at keeping secrets, especially secrets that make him walking-on-air happy. Jack had been mentally psyching himself up to keep quiet during the dinner Lily and Alex had organized at Luke's new house.

“What story?”

“We arrived at the same time, they’ll think it’s weird.”

“You’re overthinking this, Jack.” Y/N laughed, rubbing his back soothingly. “No one’s onto us, okay?”

It was agreed they’d keep their fling on the down low until they figured out if it had future or not. The Devils' player had no doubt about that, but he knew Y/N was wary about them. She didn’t exactly have a good track record.

She reached up to steal a quick kiss before they pressed the doorbell. Jack blushed almost instantly, and the petite woman shot him a playful wink, adjusting her top and fluffing her hair so her friends wouldn’t even think about the possibility that they had arrived fifteen minutes prior and used that spare time to make-out in Jack's car as if they were a couple of teenagers.

“Do you remember if I locked my car?” she asked him.

“I think I was pretty busy looking at you to check if you had locked your car before jumping inside mine.”

“I did not jump…”

“You almost did the Lady Gaga Superbowl dive. It was really funny.” the Devils' player quipped.

“Shut up!” Y/N laughed, swatting his arm. “You’re about to lose your making-out-in-the-car privileges, Mr. Hughes.” she warned.

Jack just placed his large hands on each side of her head, leaning down and placing a tender kiss on her forehead, which made her heart swell and a serene smile appear on her face. For a minute she forgot all about the implications that coming clean about their relationship brought along and thought about how nice it would be to actually be able to kiss him whenever she felt like it, no matter who was present. And then she was brought back to reality by a soft buzz coming from her back pocket. Backing away slightly from her own small piece of heaven, the doctor grabbed her phone to see who was texting her.

Charlie.

She hadn’t told Jack it was actually her fear of what her ex-husband’s reaction would be and what he would do when he found out the man he had tried to keep her away from for all those years was her current…boyfriend(?) that was keeping her from shouting it from the rooftops. Y/N knew perfectly well Lily would’ve shared the spotlight with them and she wouldn’t actually mind if their friends mocked them or made it all out to be super dramatic and theatrical. She was worried about what Charlie and his family would say. They were never the ones to shy away from criticizing whatever she did. Of course the doctor wasn’t ready to open up about what really went on in the depths of her mind just yet but she was fairly certain that, in time, Jack would be the one to gently remove the walls she had put up, brick by brick.

Joey's asleep. She looks just like you.

Y/N cringed inwardly as she reread her ex’s text, deciding not to reply to him. This was exactly what he wanted. To make her doubt every decision she made, to make her feel insecure. He was really good at that.

“You okay?” Jack asked, suddenly becoming aware of the crease that had formed between her eyebrows as she furrowed them together.

“Yeah, just thinking about how much I’m going to miss your hand being in mine tonight.” the coach's daughter pouted.

“Wait until we get out of here… I’m going to hold the hell out of your hand.” the Devils' player asserted, feeling blessed to be able to be the reason she was now softly laughing.

Jack reached for her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze and showing her his goofiest smile, before turning and pressing the doorbell.

“Here goes nothing.”

Everyone knew Jack had kissed Y/N at River and David’s wedding by then. Trevor and Alex had made sure of it. The group of friends eagerly waited for their arrival, surely expecting for them to show up hand in hand.

Luke ran to get the door as soon as the annoying doorbell he had picked out warned them they were there. His smile turned into a frown as he took in that they weren’t holding hands and Y/N looked as if she was in another planet. Quinn turned up from behind him, a confused expression adorning his features as they hugged him and made their way into the living room.

The elephant in the room was gigantic. Alex and Trevor stared at them, analyzing their posture and looking at them as if they had grown another head, as Lily raised an eyebrow.

“Why are you guys looking at us like that?” Y/N asked, not understanding what was going on.

“We all know you kissed!” Lily blurted out, covering her mouth with her hands immediately after.

“And we want to know why you’re not holding each other’s motherfucking hands right now!” Trevor added, ignoring everyone’s warning looks.

Y/N looked at Jack, sighing heavily.

Show time.

“We kissed, but we’ve decided it’s better if we remain friends.” the petite woman lied through her teeth.

“Yeah, we’re not really on the same page right now. And it’s okay.” Jack continued.

“What the fuck? Are you guys kidding me?” Alex groaned. “You guys are perfect for each other!”

“Maybe so. It’s just not the time. And we’re both okay with that, right Y/N?” the Devils' player put an arm around her shoulders, squishing her against him.

The doctor simply nodded, a small smile playing on her lips.

“Fine. But once you develop erectile dysfunction because you decided to wait and you’ll be old as shit and you two can’t go at it, you’ll remember me and tell me I was right.” Trevor stated, throwing his hands in the air and leaving the living room.

“Okay, buddy.” Jack chuckled, realizing he was still holding Y/N against his side and letting her go.

Quinn, Luke, Alex and Lily eyed them curiously, waiting for them to elaborate on everything, which they had previously decided not to do.

“I’m going to check on the pizza....” Quinn broke the silence, walking past Y/N and whispering, so only his friend could hear him. “You two are such bullshitters.”

Y/N pressed her lips into a thin line to prevent herself from laughing. The oldest Hughes brother had always been able to see right through her. But they weren’t going public yet. No, not for a while.

“So, we’re excited to know what’s the big surprise!” Jack quipped, smiling at the other couple in the room, knowing perfectly well what was in store.

He could see the way Lily's eyes switched from suspicious to excited, seeming to become a little bit brighter at the mention of the “surprise”. Alex was looking at her as if she was the only person in the world, stealing a quick glance at her stomach before he diverted his attention back to Jack.

“Great things to come.” he spoke in the softest voice his friend had ever heard coming from his mouth.

Jack looked back at Y/N who was grinning sweetly at the couple.

“Yeah… Great things to come.”

Y/N ate quietly while everyone else around her talked cheerfully. Cole had finally arrived in the meantime and Joey was at her dad’s and the only other person in the world who could calm her down was sitting across the table from her, but she couldn’t reach out to him. Not right now. She couldn’t blame Jack for her easily solvable uneasiness, it was her who asked him to keep their relationship under wraps after all. They weren’t supposed to let others see what they were like when they were alone. Or the way his thumb rubbed the back of her hand each time they held hands. Or the way one kiss of his could erase every single worry from her mind.

The doctor checked her phone, contemplating whether she should reply to Charlie or not. He was her child’s father. He didn’t mean anything with that text. He was keeping it friendly.

Checking her feed to keep her mind off her dilemma, she stumbled upon a post, letting out a loud gasp as she read the caption of the picture and dropping her phone on the table. Everyone suddenly went quiet, looking at her panicked face. She coughed lightly, smiling apologetically at her friends.

“I’m sorry, I need to make a call. I’ll be right back.” the petite woman excused herself, swiftly picking up her phone and dragging her chair on Luke's hardwood floor as she left the room.

The front door was slammed within seconds. Quinn shared a quick look with Jack, who saw from the way Y/N's smile didn’t quite reach her eyes that something must’ve been wrong. The only problem was that he had no idea what happened between their flirtatious conversation and now. He just knew it had something to do with whatever she saw on her phone.

Y/N was furious. Shaking. Tears pricking her eyes. She went over Charlie's recent posts, one of which showed her holding their newborn baby. That was the day her mother-in-law told her she was probably going to be a horrible mother. You lack the natural instinct, I guess. Mrs. Porter had said, while holding her only grandchild. That was the day Charlie stayed silent as his mother tore her to shreds. That was the day her ex-husband had told her maybe it was for the best that she gave up her career and raise Joey, and the other children they would eventually have, of course. Being a mother is a full-time job, Y/N… You don’t want to be an absentee mother, right? That was the day she cried herself to sleep in her baby’s room.

Then there was the picture of him with a very carefully picked out caption, that had sent her into full-on freak out mode: he was playing the victim, portraying the heartbroken man she didn’t know him to be. Her ex was replying to some of her friends and family, acting all charming and nice, saying he hoped they’d sort it out eventually. She knew better than to believe a single word he said. She knew the act; she knew how it worked. It had worked on her for many years.

Her head was spinning as she fought back the urge to let out all the tears that were beginning to cloud her vision. How dare he? And there she was thinking maybe he was finally being civil and decent. Only to try and leave her in the dirt again, for people to think she was the reason why their marriage ended. God forbid anyone figured out that Charlie Porter was an abusive, manipulative man.

Taking yet another deep breath and rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands, Y/N looked up her ex-husband’s number on her phone, hitting the call button before she had time to regret it.

“Y/N, hey.” his voice made its way into her brain, calm and soothing, like a dose of an anesthetic.

Y/N quickly shook it off, holding on to the rage inside her.

“Who the fuck do you think you are?” she barked. “Tell me, Charlie, because I would really like to know.”

“First off, I’m doing great, thanks. Our daughter is also doing great, not that you care, but just letting you know.”

“What did you just say?” Y/N hissed, her eyes wide. “You need to take two thousand fucking steps back. My daughter is the single most important thing in my life. And I say thing because there’s not one single material or immaterial good above her. Not my job, not my friends, not my family, not money, not anyone else that might come into my life. How dare you? Did you really have to stoop so low?”

“Don’t be dramatic, Y/N. If you really cared about Joey you wouldn’t have left me and given her a broken home to grow up in.” her ex-husband bit back, his voice filled with venom and bitterness.

The doctor ran her hands through her hair, her heart beating faster and faster inside her chest. By this time, most of the blood in her body seemed to have rushed to her face.

“I gave her the exact opposite of a broken home. I gave her a stable, loving home, filled with laughter and enough space for her dreams to grow and be lived out. I gave her my entire heart and my entire being. I protected her. I gave her what you never gave me.”

“You go on and on about this as if you were miserable with me. Let me break it to you: you weren’t. Everyone around you convinced you you were though. And you were dumb enough to believe them, Y/N. That’s on you, not me.”

“Oh, right, yeah. I wasn’t miserable. I just shrunk myself to fit into the spaces you assigned to me. I just cried myself to sleep every night. Harder after you touched me and then rolled over to the other side of the bed and forgot I existed until you needed to show me off. But just the right amount. God forbid any man dared to show interest in me, whether it was complimenting me on my looks or my brain. Oh man, you used to really hate it whenever someone complimented my intelligence… It was so threatening, I know…”

“What’s your point, Y/N?” Charlie snapped, his voice cold and devoid of any of its usual charm.

“My point is: you broke me. You conditioned my thoughts and the way I acted and I struggle to this very day to deconstruct the belief system you built in my head. I left you because I was so small one gust of wind could blow me away. And my daughter deserved better. I deserved better. I put myself back together, I found my voice and you don’t get to show up and ruin it for me. Now listen to me, and listen to me very carefully, Charles: don’t go around playing the victim and try to convince the world you’re madly in love and I broke your heart. We both know what really went down. Stop talking about me. Stop acting like you’re in pain and I’m the reason why. That’s emotional blackmail, which falls under the category of emotional abuse, as your sister, who’s a lawyer, could probably tell you. You’re lucky I haven’t filed a police report, because you’re an abuser, and you abused me for seven years. Hell, you’re doing it right now. I am the victim, not you. Sit the fuck down and keep your nose out of my business or I will file a report, you won’t ever see Joey again and I will ruin your fucking life. Elise won’t be able to save your sorry ass. Neither will the rest of your goddamn family. Keep that in mind the next time you try to play the innocent heartbroken man. Goodbye.” she nearly yelled, ending the call before he could get a single word out.

Y/N was well-aware he would find a spiteful way to make her feel bad and regret what she had said faster than she could come up with something to reply back, so it was better that way. As soon as she did, though, she began to fear retaliation. She feared the posts, she feared the freak show he could set up, even after she had warned him about the consequences to his actions. Charlie was a bitter, cold man. A completely different person to the one she had met when she first moved to New York in her late teens. But that was all water under an old, musty, dangerous bridge.

“You guys…” Quinn called out, looking up from his phone. “I think I know what’s going on.” he sighed, a sad look on his face as he showed the group of friends the post he had just seen online.

Alex placed a hand on his friend's shoulder, looking disgusted at his phone’s screen and he moved his hand to rest on top of his. Cole covered his mouth and sat back down on his chair, shaking his head. Trevor started pacing around the room, mumbling to himself the list of steps he needed to follow in order to successfully commit murder and get away with it.

“Alright, I’ve had it with this motherfucker. This is it. He’s going down. He’s not dragging my girl back into that dark hole he held her in for seven fucking years again. I will personally make sure of that. Alex, get the car. We’re paying this asshole a visit.” Trevor said, as he checked for his wallet in his back pocket.

Jack gave Y/N's ex's social media account a quick look and his fists clenched at his sides. His throat went dry and his mind started racing. Everyone around him was going nuts, with Luke and Lily stepping in front of Alex and Trevor as they prepared to leave the house. Quinn looked like she had seen a ghost while he scrolled through her feed and read every single one of Charlie's posts. The Devils' player felt as if his heart had sunk into his stomach and he didn’t give it a second thought before making his way out of the living room.

Y/N slowly opened the door, trying to get back into the house and go to the bathroom without anyone seeing her. Her eyes were watering, and she fought the tears away with every single ounce of strength she had left in her after confronting Charlie.

The coach's daughter ran into someone as soon as she closed the door behind her. She looked up slowly, preparing herself to blurt out something that could justify her physical appearance at that very moment. Instead, she was left speechless as her eyes met with Jack's.

Y/N let out a breath she didn’t even realize she was holding in as he wrapped his arms around her small frame and held her firmly against his chest. The doctor could hear his heart beat a thousand miles an hour inside his ribcage.

“I need to go to the bathroom, Rowdy.” she whispered shakily and almost inaudibly.

The brunette man gave her one final squeeze, kissing the top of her head before letting her go, quickly grabbing a hold of her hand.

“Lead the way.” he whispered back.

She did as she was asked, padding slowly to Luke's guest bathroom and closing the door behind them, reluctantly letting go of Jack's hand, ignoring the mayhem that had seemingly broken out in the living room.

Jack stood facing away from the washbasin as Y/N leaned against the wall in front of him, the back of her head coming in contact with the cold tiles that decorated the bathroom floor to ceiling, her eyes closed shut. She felt pathetic for once again being unable to keep her feelings from showing. The coach's daughter didn’t know she was crying until she felt the warm droplets of water rushing down her cheeks and even warmer hands cupping her face.

The Devils' player pulled her to him, his hands moving to the back of her head, his thumbs caressing the nape of her neck tenderly. He could feel the tension leave her body as she let herself sink further and further into his chest. What began as soft sobs turned into a breakdown; he felt his heart break into a million tiny pieces when she began to choke up, as a wave of grief and sorrow hit her violently, making her entire body shake, overwhelmed with emotion.

Y/N's fists held the fabric of Jack's shirt as if her life depended on it. Her anger dissolved into tears and she couldn’t help but whimper while replaying that damned phone call in her head over and over again.

“It’s okay. Let it all out.” he spoke softly, placing one of his hands on her back to rub it soothingly.

“I’m sorry, Rowdy. I am.” the woman he so deeply cared for managed to blurt out, trying her best to look up at his face.

“What for, babe?” Jack asked, alarms resounding inside his head. He could guess what was coming.

Y/N sniffed loudly, water works still fully running while she took a step back and reached for a bit of toilet paper to blow her nose. The handsome man waited anxiously as she fixed herself up, moving farther to the right in order to allow her to freshen up her face, tapping water onto the skin below her eyes in a desperate attempt to reduce the swelling.

The doctor eventually gave up trying to fix her puffy face, returning to her original position in front of him.

“For being too much. For being so obnoxiously emotional and overwhelming you with all of this mess. I assume you saw what everyone’s talking about. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to drag you down with me. I’m sorry, Jack, you didn’t ask for a woman with a child and a very bad divorce in her repertoire. You deserve a life free of drama and bad blood.”

Jack looked at Y/N, stunned by the effect Charlie still managed to have on her. He wished she could see herself as he saw her. He wished he could make it all go away with just one kiss. But life isn’t a fairytale and it’s not that easy. If he wanted to help her, he had to tread carefully. Her ex-husband had made sure to leave an unbelievable amount of landmines along the way to her heart and one foot in the wrong place and they could all blow up and break everything she had so carefully pieced back together.

Placing his hands on each side of her face and leaning his forehead against hers, he tried to capture her attention.

“Y/N Y/L/N. Hey...” he cooed, the tip of his nose touching hers in a kunik. “There’s nothing, and I mean literally nothing, I’d change about you. I could never get too much of you. In fact, I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you.”

Y/N's doe eyes met his as she listened attentively to what he was saying.

“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that I want to take everything I can get from you, because that would make me…you get it. I mean that you’re perfect. And, as I said, you can never be too much. You’re just… everything, Y/N. And I want a chance to prove it to you…” Jack said, wiping away the few remaining tears in her eyes with the tips of is thumbs and silently asking for her permission to kiss her.

Without hesitating, she pulled him to her, uniting their lips. Jack moved in to deepen the kiss, holding her body against his. The sound of their rushed breathing was the only thing that could be heard inside the small room, until the doorknob was turned and in came...Trevor.

The two lovers quickly let go of each other, startled by the unwanted visitor. Their friend’s eyes were wide open, his jaw almost dropped to the floor. He stood there, his hand still on the knob, as realization hit the trio: he had seen them kissing.

“Z…” Jack warned, raising a finger signaling for him to keep quiet.

“Holy sh-“ he gasped, being interrupted by Y/N's hands, that immediately flew to cover her friend’s mouth.

The Devils' player rushed to close the door again.

“No, no, no. Trev.” the doctor said, in a pleading tone. “I’m going to let you go, but you need to calm down and not be… loud. Okay?”

The blond man nodded, rolling his eyes, and Alina did as she promised.

“You cannot tell anyone about what you just saw. Please.” she begged.

“I didn’t buy the whole we’re not right for each other right now crap you tried to feed us for a second! Do you think I'm stupid? Wait, don't answer that! You made us all feel bad for trying to push you together and here you are, sucking face in Luke's bathroom.” Trevor protested, turning to his friend. “Dude, the bedroom’s literally, like, twenty feet from here? Bathrooms… I thought you’d given that kink up after…” now it was Jack's turn to place his hands over Trevor's mouth, proceeding to remove them when Trevor decided to stick his tongue out. “Alright, I’ll shut up. Stop touching my lips with your dirty hands.”

The petite woman momentarily forgot about their sticky situation and raised an eyebrow at Jack, snorting at his panicked facial expression. He showed her an apologetic smile and a look that could be translated to “we’ll talk about this later”. She nodded, amused by the crimson shade of his face.

Wait.

“Shit! I knew I shouldn’t have put on lipstick after we made out in your car.” Y/N cursed, looking for a towel she could use to clean his long-lasting lipstick smudged face.

And they said it was kiss resistant. My ass.

Both men looked at her, intrigued.

“You’ve got red lipstick all over your face, Rowdy.”

The Devils' player looked at himself in the mirror, attempting to rub it off.

“Oh yeah, I was about to tell you that.” their friend smacked his own forehead, chuckling. “Right after you explained to me what the hell did I walk in on.” he added, crossing his arms over his chest as Y/N hastily opened every single cabinet until she found what she was looking for.

“Not the time, Z…” she groaned, placing the small hand towel under the open faucet, before twisting the excess of water out and dabbing it on Luke's skin.

“We’ll talk about this over lunch tomorrow, okay?” the brunette man sighed, deciding to compromise in order to improve their chances of getting their friend to keep quiet about their relationship.

“Alright, but don’t you try to fool me, I – “

“Z, please, I really need to use the bathroom.” Cole moaned, entering the room and catching everyone off-guard.

The trio froze in their place.

“Cole! I could’ve had my thingy out!” Trevor nearly yelled.

“It's not anything I haven't seen it before, get over yourself.” the other blond man in their lives defended himself.

“Rude!” the Ducks' player cried out, offended.

“Shut up.” Cole laughed, only then noticing his other two friends, standing behind Trevor, their mouths agape. “Hey, I thought you guys were outside! Is everything okay, Y/N? I’m so sorry…” he said, closing the door again and inching closer to the young woman, stopping himself from finishing his own sentence as he noticed the cloth in Y/N's hand and Jack's crimson stained face. “What are you guys doing?”

“Goddamn it, Cole, put two and two together.”

Y/N and Jack's eyes shot daggers at their big-mouthed friend. This was the beginning of the end. Trevor put his arms up in the air, realizing he’d just sent it all to hell.

“Oh. My. God.” their bubbly friend cheered. “Yes, oh, thank god!” he raised his fist in the air, before engulfing the pair into a tight hug, forgetting all about his physiological needs. “You guys!”

His happiness was contagious and both Jack and Y/N couldn’t help but smile at his excitement and warmness, even though they knew that two people knowing about their affair was already too many. But it was Cole, and they were sure he didn’t have to be contained. Not like Trevor, at least. It would only take them asking him to promise not to open his mouth and he would take their secret to the grave.

“Oh, what the hell, I want to join in on the group hug!” Trevor whined, a grin instantly growing on his face as Jack shook his head and pulled him in as well.

“Cole, Lily says she really has to go and the toilet in the other bathroom is leaking, I think the pipes are all messed up, I’m calling the plumber on Monday, but yeah…” Luke's voice could be heard from the hallway, accompanied by a light knock on the door.

Now a quartet, the group of people that were already inside the pink bathroom let go of each other, exchanging panicked looks between them.

“Hmmm, I’ll be out in a minute!” the smaller man replied, his voice slightly shaky.

They all tried to talk to each other through incomprehensible hand gestures. Could they get out of this one?

“I’m sorry, Cole, I’m coming in, I’m about to barf all over the place. Pull up your tighty whities!” Lily warned from beside Luke, not bothering to wait for her friend’s reply before she opened the door and was met not by one, but four mortified people.

Jack covered his face with his left hand, avoiding their intense gaze.

“This is unbelievable.” he muttered under his breath as Y/N's breath hitched in her throat.

No one had to explain a thing to Luke. The middle Hughes brother's face screamed make out session. Y/N's lips, now a few shades lighter, told the rest of the story. Lily, on the other hand, was too focused on getting to the toilet before she threw up all over Luke's precious imported tiles to actually take note of anything other than their facial expressions.

Everyone looked away as Lily kneeled by the toilet and nearly stuck her head inside it, with Y/N rushing to her side to gather her hair up and rub her hand over her back.

“This is not what I signed up for.” Trevor grimaced, trying to make is way out, but being stopped by Luke before he could actually reach the door.

“Hold up, no one’s leaving until we clear up this whole…” he stopped herself mid-sentence, motioning towards Jack and Y/N. “…situation.”

Lily lifted her head up, taking the toilet paper Cole handed her, running it over her lips, getting back on her feet and rinsing her mouth with water.

“What situation?” she inquired, regaining her stamina almost instantly.

Luke's gaze fell upon her raven-haired friend, prompting Lily to look at him.

“Jack…” she gasped. “Who…” – her eyes landed on Y/N, her face almost as red as her significant other’s by now. “Y/N! Oh my god, you went and did it! Yes, I’m so proud!”

“Y/N? Jack kissed her first!” Trevor stepped in, giving his friend a light pat in the back.

“Yeah, but I told Y/N she should go for it, and she obviously did!” Cole cheered, kissing his small friend’s forehead in the process. “My girl!”

“Hmm… Lily? Are you okay?” Y/N asked, directing the attention away from the whole mess that was that entire situation and back to the long-haired woman.

“Yeah, must’ve been something I ate.” she shrugged it off, absentmindedly rubbing her belly, a telltale sign the initial trio instantly recognized.

The doctor smiled knowingly, pretending to believe her friend’s excuse and hoping her relationship with Jack wouldn’t be brought up again.

“Enough with dodging questions!” Luke blurted out, rubbing his temples. “Just tell us if you two are going at it or not.”

Spoke too soon.

Jack and Y/N looked at each other, and she nodded affirmatively at him, giving him permission to tell everyone the truth.

“Is there any way you’ll believe me if I tell you I was kissing Trevor?”

“I was the one that had to see you shove your tongues down each other’s throats. Worst experience of my life.” their friend objected, shuddering at the mental image.

“Why are you acting as if seeing us kiss is worse than asking us if we did it, like you did, numerous times before?” Jack asked, rolling his eyes.

“Well, if I had walked in a bit later…”

“Yes, we were kissing. Yes, we’re dating, I guess. It happened last night, so… We wanted to keep it a secret for a while and then tell you but I guess you guys beat us to it. It’s all pretty new and scary so please don’t let it slip or put too much pressure on us, we’re the live version of newborn Bambi. We’re still learning how to walk together.” Y/N spoke up, surprising everyone with her candid statements.

“This is the best day ever.” Lily proclaimed, placing both of her hands over her heart. “Wait until Alex…”

She was suddenly interrupted by her boyfriend's voice. Trevor instinctively moved to block his passage and prevent him from making his way in.

“Why isn’t anyone that enters the bathroom coming out? Is this some Narnia shit? Is Lil okay? Let me in!” Alex shouted from the other side of the door, attempting to force his way in and nearly making Trevor topple over.

“Luke, why the hell don’t you have keys on your locks?” Y/N groaned, as Trevor struggled to keep their clueless friend out.

“How the hell is it supposed for people to come in and help you if there’s an emergency? Seriously…It’s like you guys forget to turn on your brains sometimes…” her friend huffed, rolling his eyes. “Come on, Trev, let the man in before he has a heart attack worrying about his girl.”

Trevor stepped aside from the door as Alex was preparing himself to come at the door at full speed, his shoulder hitting the wood and propping it right open, making him land on the floor.

“Ow!” he howled, shuffling to his feet. “Lily, baby, are you okay? Do you need anything?” he ran to her, his hand brushing over her flushed cheeks.

“Yeah, honey, don’t worry, she’s just acting up today.” his girlfriend chuckled, taking his hand in hers and kissing his knuckles softly.

“She’s feisty, like her mother.”

The entire group went completely silent. Did they just…tell them they were expecting unknowingly? It took the couple a few seconds to fully register that what they had said wasn’t meant to be heard inside of Luke's lavish bathroom. They glanced over at their friends, huge smiles etched on each one of their faces.

“I guess the cat’s out of the bag?” the soon-to-be mother snorted, as she was almost tackled by the group.

“Well, Y/N, Trevor and I kinda already knew.” Jack confessed, ruffling her hair a bit.

“Trevor!” Lily scolded. “You blabbermouth!”

“We figured it out, he just confirmed it.” Y/N explained, letting go of Lily to give Alex a hug. “Congratulations, daddy!”

“Oh my god, I’ve been waiting almost ten years to hear you say that!” the curly-haired man playfully rejoiced, earning a slap in the back of the head from Jack. “What?”

“Oh, baby, Y/N and Jack are dating now.”

The new couple fought the urge to cringe as Lily's words escaped her lips and Alex's lips twisted into a wicked grin.

“Ha! And you tried to tell me you were just friends? I could smell the sexual tension from miles away! I was right! I’m loving it here. I’m giving you a year before he proposes. He knows exactly what ring he’s going to buy, he always has, it’s this beautiful –“

“That’s enough buddy.” Jack coughed, prompting him to keep quiet.

Y/N looked over at the Devils' player adoringly, placing an arm around his waist and hugging his side. She should probably freak out. She should make a run for it and never look back. But did she want to? Not even a little bit. The calmness that Jack instilled in her was like a drug to her and she could feel herself getting addicted to his presence and his entire being slowly, but steadily. As she went through the reasons why she thought her friends couldn’t know, she realized how silly it all was. Y/N Y/L/N, like each and every one of us, had one life to live. And, after telling their friends about them, she felt free. To be honest, she could get used to it. She knew she probably would. At that precise moment, surrounded by some of her favorite people in the world and the loving man she could now call hers, Y/N didn’t even mind.

“We weren’t supposed to tell you in the bathroom after I barfed the entirety of my stomach’s contents…” Lily grimaced, the taste still lingering on her tongue.

“We were going to have Trevor get the bottle of cheap champagne we brought and have him drop it when we told you, for dramatic purposes, obviously.” Alex proceeded to tell their friends about their plans. “Wait... Quinn!"

"I heard you guys from all the way over here." they heard the oldest Hughes brother say from the living room. "Congrats!"

"Come here!"

"Respectfully... No."

hi if you’re still taking prompts can you please do 12 and/or 15 for boggie 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

Heh yeah so pay no mind to the fact that you sent this in like.... over 7 months ago... I promise I didn't forget! I just haven't had a lot of writing spoons in a hot minute! ANYWAYS have a little drabble. I'm sorry for the delay!!!!

Bobby picks his way down the path to the garage in the dark. He's not totally sure what time it is, he just knows it's late. Or early? Whatever. The other boys fell asleep hours ago, all curled up on the pull-out couch. Thank God Luke and Alex have gotten over that weird post-breakup "we shouldn't cuddle" thing. It made sleepovers way too confusing.

Their breakup made everything a little confusing if Bobby is being honest. Sure it had been a mutual thing and they'd only gone out for like a month, but still. The four of them spent so much time together, of course things got uncomfortable when half of the band members were suddenly exes. There had been a minute there where Bobby thought it would be the end of Sunset Curve.

But the waves have settled now. Luke and Alex are back to being bickering best friends. Their family band is safe. Thank God. Bobby doesn't think he could bear losing them. Any of them. They're his best friends.

He pushes open the garage door as quietly as he can. The beam of moonlight coming in over his shoulder illuminates his boys all tangled together on the couch bed. Luke's head is on Alex's thigh. Alex's arm is thrown over Reggie's torso. Reggie's leg is thrown over Luke's lap. His arms are flopped awkwardly over the space next to him. Bobby recognizes it as the spot he'd been lying before he'd given up on sleep and gone to make some hot chocolate.

Oh, he left his mug on the kitchen counter. F...rick. Bobby groans. Just his luck. Technically he could just go back to the house and get the half-full cup. But that suddenly feels like way too much work. Bobby heaves a sigh and heads for the couch. Maybe the partial drink and the late hour will let him sleep?

He lowers himself carefully onto the couch beside Reggie. The bassist stirs a bit, one hand reaching out towards Bobby. And his heart doesn't flutter a bit. It doesn't. Cause it can't.

Luke and Alex's breakup almost destroyed the band. Bobby can't afford to risk his only friends on a crush. Even if Reggie's eyes light up every time he sees a dog out walking. Even if his stupid jokes always manage to make Bobby laugh. Even if he looks so pretty onstage that Bobby forgets to breathe sometimes. Even if sometimes he'll glance down at Bobby's lips when they're sharing a mic and sometimes seems to watch him for a moment too long.

He can't risk it. Maybe he lov-likes Reggie romantically. But he cares about all three of them deeply. He can't lose any of them. They keep him from drowning in his head or staying inside all the time. They give him a reason to go to school on the bad days. They never like his artsy movie suggestions and then watch them with him anyways. They're his best friends and his lifelines. He's not losing them.

Reggie rolls over towards him, mumbling something incoherent. Bobby chuckles. His sleep-talking is adorable. Reggie's body is now only half covered by the black and white throw blanket that Bobby always claims for sleepovers and Reggie always seems to wake up under.

Bobby glances at the other two boys. Both are still sound asleep. He supposes it's safe to indulge for a moment.

"How come you always end up under my blanket, baby?" Bobby whispers, laying down beside Reggie. Hey, it's not like anyone's going to hear him. He'll take what he can get. Even if his treacherous heart yearns for it to be real.

"Cause you getting all flustered is one of the cutest things I've ever seen," Reggie murmurs, lips quirking up in a smirk.

Bobby jumps, his face heating up. "I...you're awake?" he stammers, backing away from his friend slowly.

Reggie blinks quickly, sleep still pulling at his eyelids as he focuses on Bobby. "Sorta?" he mumbles back. "Awake enough to hear you call me baby."

"I'm so sorry," Bobby says in a rush. "It's nothing, don't worry about it, it doesn't have to be a thing, I'm just being stupid."

Reggie frowns. "But... what if I want it to be a thing?"

Bobby feels like he's about to be split down the middle between logic and lo-his feelings. "We can't," he whispers, feeling a lump form in his throat.

"Says who?" Reggie responds, smiling sleepily. "We're smart, we'll figure it out. Just say it again?"

"Say what?" Bobby tilts his head, confused.

"Call me baby," Reggie clarifies. He reaches out and grabs at Bobby's hands. It takes him a couple of tries to get them both with his eyes still only half open. "I like it."

And Bobby is apparently too weak for this. "You sure, baby?" he breathes.

"Definitely," Reggie hums, laying back down and tugging Bobby down with him.

The bassist shifts around a bit until he can use Bobby's shoulder as a pillow. "Okay, sleepy time," he mumbles, eyes already falling shut. "We'll talk tomorrow."

Bobby's heart is racing, but sleep suddenly feels much more possible. Especially once he pulls his blanket over both of them. Alex shifts a bit in his sleep so his arm is thrown over both Reggie and Bobby. Luke's legs end up tangled with both of theirs.

Bobby takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. Well this was new. But not...necessarily...bad.

He drifts off to sleep.

#legolas tag #julie and the phantoms #jatp fanfic #jatp #reggie peters #bobby shaw #boggie #gosh they're just so cute!#yup that's all I got here #I'm so sorry again for how frigging long this took!!!

They cut your grilled cheese into triangles, that means they're in love with you, bro for Alex/Reggie

Having his ex-boyfriend become his best friend was kind of weird. Because yeah, at one point Alex had drawn little hearts in his notebooks that read 'Willie Mercer' and 'Alex Throckmorton' and he'd dithered for ages about which of those sounded better even though he'd been too scared to ask Willie to prom.

They had gone to prom together. And then over the summer they'd realised that yeah, they cared for each other, but they weren't really in love with each other. So they'd ended up as mildly co-dependent friends. Willie still crawled through his window at midnight sometimes because he needed cuddles, and Alex still had him as his first emergency contact because Willie was the only one who could keep him from going down an anxiety rabbit-hole.

Well, besides Reggie.

Which brought him to his current dilemma.

"Dude, Reggie is not in love with me," he told Willie. Just because Alex had a crush on his band mate, didn't mean said band mate felt the same way. Willie was just encouraging him to get back out there, like the good friend he was. But dating sites freaked Alex out, and blind dates sounded like a disaster - no Carrie, I will not let you set me up with Heather's sister's friend's cousin, I don't care how hot he is - but Alex didn't want to risk messing up the band just because he was in love with Reggie.

Maybe it would pass. His two week crush on Bobby back when they were fourteen had.

(He ignored the little voice in his head that sounded suspiciously like Willie, pointing out that his crush on Reggie had been going strong for over a year now.)

"He cuts your grilled cheese into triangles," Willie stated with so much confidence Alex had to wonder what it was like to be that certain about anything in life. "That means he's in love with you."

"That's not... what?"

"Just look for it," Willie made him promise. Which he did, because well, it was hard to deny Willie anything.

It wasn't every weekend that Reggie made them grilled cheeses after practice, but it was often enough. Reggie was the grilled cheese master, effortlessly combining flavours and cheeses together to make everyone a personalised masterpiece suited to their taste. Ray happily gave up his kitchen in return for a perfectly melted Monterey Jack-Cheddar with just the right amount of mustard.

So Alex watched Reggie make the grilled cheeses. That wasn't unusual, they usually hung out in the kitchen while he did his thing, but this time, Alex really watched. Willie's ham-cheese-pineapple? Cut in half. Luke's American-Mozzarella? In half. Flynn's got a little ramekin of ketchup on the side, and was cut into squares. Bobby's weird vegan cheese one with vegan mayo on the outside to make it golden brown? Squares. Julie? Squares. Carlos? Half.

But Alex' grilled cheese, a Gouda-cheddar with just the tiniest bit of mozzarella? It was cut into triangles.

It was also the one Reggie always made last, right before his own. So they'd have time in the kitchen together when the others inevitably drifted away, back to the studio or home or to their rooms.

And yeah, maybe Alex always kind of offered to help with clean-up, so they could spend even more time together. But that didn't mean anything, did it?

Except when he looked over to Reggie and their fingers brushed when Reggie handed him a plate to dry, he blushed. And Alex thought that maybe, just maybe, Willie could be right. But he had to know.

"Hey Reg? Why do you cut my grilled cheese into triangles?" he asked, before he could chicken out.

Reggie turned back to the dishes, burying his hands in the suds, his ears bright red.

"It's what you do for the people you're in love with," he said quietly.

It was obnoxious, the way Willie gloated in his best man speech five years later.

#julie and the phantoms #reggiexalex #fanfic #a little bit of willex #I love the idea of them still being super codependant and Reggie is just there and fine with it #like sure willie climbs through their window sometimes to snuggle with Alex when he had a bad dream #that's why they picked the bedroom next to the fire escape duh #now I really want a grilled cheese *laughs in lactose intolerant*#also I have no idea if any of those cheese combinations are good i know shit all about american cheeses #I wrote a thing

mooch’s ex, max, spreads rumors around the school about her and says that she cheated on him with different guys like tyler, boldy, trevor, etc. tyler finds that out and leaves school early that day with a suspension and a black eye

people were staring when mooch and tyler walked into the school, trailing behind jack and alex who drove them this morning. “why are people staring?” mooch asked. tyler shrugged, “maybe they heard about your awesome game over the weekend.”

the comment made mooch blush as she came to a stop at her locker. tyler waited for her as she put things into her locker and took out anything she needed. some students walked by, “apparently she cheated on him when her brother’s friends.”

“which brother? jack or luke? or was it quinn? he’s got college friends now.”

mooch’s heartbeat sped up quickly. tyler was also confused by the topic of conversation they overheard. tyler saw someone walking by and called them over. it was someone from his math class. “what the hell is everyone talking about?” tyler asked. the guy’s eyes shifted to mooch.

“someone started a rumor that she cheated on max with you, turcotte, zegras, basically all of the hockey guys. i honestly think max started the rumor.”

tyler was fuming, looking at mooch who was on the verge of tears and throwing up. jack came skidding up to mooch’s locker less than a minute later, trevor following. “i’m guessing you heard?” jack frowned at the sight of mooch freaking out internally. “c’mon squish, let’s get you to mr. harrison’s room, he doesn’t have a class this morning. you can sit in there,” jack whisked away mooch.

“tyler,” trevor warned, “don’t do anything stupid.”

tyler didn’t see max until study hall after second period. he saw him walking in the hallways and shoved him against the lockers. “you’re an asshole. you know you’re lying,” tyler gritted through his teeth. “of course you’d come to her aid. i always disliked how close the two of you were i just didn’t realize how much of a slu-”

max was cut off with a punch. tyler was shoved back. tyler will give max credit, max laid one good hit on tyler, a hit that was sure to give him a black eye. tyler stumbled back after the hit. “c’mon duke. if you want my leftovers so bad you have to work for it.”

tyler saw red for a second, regaining his balance as tackling max to the ground. the two were pulled apart minutes later.

mooch heard about the fight at lunch. she didn’t know where tyler was but as soon as she heard about the fight she knew it was him. “dylan, where is your brother?” she asked.

“if my parents haven’t killed him for the suspension, probably in his room sulking without his xbox.”

the end of the day couldn’t have came sooner. mooch was begging jack to drop her off at tyler’s. she knocked on the door quickly. his parents answering. “he’s in his room but he’s in trouble.”

“please i need to see him.”

the front door was opened up wide enough for mooch to run into the house, running to tyler’s room. he was laying in bed bored out of his mind. “mooch? what are you doing here?”

mooch simply ran to him, throwing herself onto the bed and hugging him. he let out a groan, “careful please i think that ex of yours bruised my ribs.”

Julie and the Phantoms

Julie and the Phantoms (JATP) is a one-season-wonder musical comedy series created by Dan Cross and David Hoge, with the notable executive production of Kenny Ortega (HSM, Descendants, Cheetah Girls, etc.). With the recent passing of her mom, Julie gets kicked out of her school’s prestigious music program for being unable to emotionally perform. When looking through her mom’s things she stumbles across a “Sunset Curve” CD and accidentally welcomes the “phantoms” into her world. Luke, Alex, and Reggie, AKA “Sunset Curve”, were a boyband from the 80s that died prematurely. After hearing Julie sing and realizing they can be seen when they play their music, they form a new band, Julie and the Phantoms.

youtube

While the show does employ a dual-focus narrative for the heteronormative pairing of Julie and Luke (never “resolved” because (a) the actor who plays Julie is a minor and Luke is not and (b) the creators were hoping for a second season, possibly with a follow-through for the more age-appropriate love interest, Nick) they also use it for the sort of rivalry that Robynn Stilwell discusses in Smash. Episode six, “Finally Free”, presents the culmination of the competition between Julie and her ex-best friend, Carrie, in their back-to-back musical performances. Carrie and her band, or rather, backup dancers, perform “All Eyes on Me”, a me-myself-and-I song dedicated to Carrie’s greatness and high social status. Though their performance is technically clean and impressive, it also solidifies a class and character difference between Carries and Julie: Carrie’s dad is a rich music executive and she is, in every way, a quintessential Disney-fied mean girl. Julie is by no means low-income, but her single-parent multi-child household and the recent loss of her mother do not position her as privileged either. Notably, Carrie is blonde and white and Julie is multiracial and brown. Though never directly stated, one may argue that this intersectional identity that Julie has is the “other cultural aspect” (Stilwell 384) used to provide deeper meaning for the show. Julie and the Phantoms perform “Finally Free” an uplifting song up to interpretation: free from grief, from judgment, from fear. All of the songs performed by Julie and the Sunset Curve boys stand out from Carrie’s due to their emotional depth and interpersonal interaction: Julie interacts with her bandmates, while Carrie’s are solely there for show.

youtube

The “inevitable coupling” in this series happens through an inevitable, albeit unconfirmed, grouping. In the first episode, we watch Sunset Curve interact with a waitress named Rose, to whom they gift a CD and t-shirt. As they exit the venue, Luke comments about how big their band is going to be, how much that waitress’s compliments resonated with him, and how excited he is to play the Orpheum. Minutes later when Julie’s looking through her mom’s things she stumbles across a Sunset Curve CD and t-shirt. We’re never told Julie’s mom’s name in the show, but given their physical similarities and how much Julie associates her with flowers, it’s widely considered that Rose was, in fact, Julie’s mom. In the final episode, Julie and the Phantoms perform at the Orpheum, fulfilling the band’s dream, and one of her mom’s. Almost every song the band sings together includes a duet section for Julie and Luke; singing/performing is where most of their connection and relationship advancement comes from. As Stilwell concludes, the creators employ duets and musical cinema to “create character relationships that would take longer to establish through normal exposition like dialogue...” (393).

With the exceptions of “Unsaid Emily” and “Perfect Harmony”, every musical interlude is incorporated fully into the physical and time constraints of the series, establishing this as a backstage musical. Most of their singing/playing is in preparation for a performance or purely for practicing and jamming together. There are lots of wide shots showing the band collectively in Julie’s garage, advancing the narrative as they perform.

Turcs and Hughes sibling sneaking around at the lake house? Plz

“Shut up, you’re so loud” You giggled, smacking a hand onto Alex’s mouth as he laughed loudly behind it. “You’re going to wake them up”

“No I’m not, relax” He smirked, flopping down on top of you, causing the bed to squeak a little which made you smack him again. “Jeez if you we have to be silent you shouldn’t have invited me in here” You rolled your eyes.

“I did not invite you” You scoffed while Alex laughed.

“Okay babe, keep telling yourself that” He settled down next to you on the bed, finally putting an end to the noise.

He was right though, while you technically didn’t invite him in tonight, the past week of him sneaking into your room once everyone else was asleep was more than enough of an invitation. “Quinn’s a light sleeper, be quiet”

“Quinn is down the hall. Jack’s next door and lucky for us, he sleeps like a log” You took a minute before caving, never being able to stand against Alex.

…

“Can you go get the speaker? It’s inside somewhere” Luke asks and you nod, scraping your chair back on the deck before heading inside. You hear the door open and shut behind you and then feel Alex’s arms wrapped around your body.

“Get off, they’re gonna see” You try to shrug him off, only really using minimal effort because you don’t really want him to move.

“Babe, don’t worry” Alex said lazily and you could tell that he was already a little drunk.

The back door opened so you pushed him away, hard enough that he stumbled back, not prepared for the sudden movement.

“What’s taking so long?” Jack asked as he walked in, taking in the sight of you and Alex standing a fair distance apart, both looking like you were just caught.

“I just came in here, calm down” You said to your brother as you grabbed Luke’s speaker. “I didn’t know I was being timed” Jack rolls his eyes when you push past him to go back out to the backyard.

…

“Should we tell them?” Alex asks one night when you’re once again, laying in your bed.

Your head jerks up to look at him, “Tell my brothers?” Alex nods. “Do you have a death wish?” It wasn’t that they were your brothers but their friend group had a weird rule about sisters and ex’s, it seemed ridiculous for you but Quinn swears it prevents drama.

“No I just… I don’t want to have to sneak around anymore” Alex said quietly as he played with your fingers as a distraction.

“Okay”

“Okay?” He was expecting a little more push back from you. “That’s it?”

“If you want to then we can, I’m not scared of my brothers” You shrugged. The fact that Alex thought this was important enough that you had to tell your brothers about it made you giddy but you didn’t want to reveal that.

“You’ll protect me if Jack comes after me?” He asks with a laugh.

“Always”

*Slams table* Spencer's Cowboy AU on 15x7 is living rent-free on my head so I decided to expand on it cause it's literally so wholesome and adorable- take it as a sort of celebration of me finally ending the show? I guess?? I had yet to watch Face Off and In the End but that is technically the finale so-

Spencer only mentions what he, J.J, Rossi and Penelope's roles would be in this tiny little town, so I will go ahead and assume that the rest of the guys are fellow cowboys and cowgirls, because I am imagining the aesthetic and uh-huh, it's serving.

I am pretty sure the AU is meant to be the modern version of cowboys, who had mostly evolved to using trucks but Spencer Reid is Spencer Reid so he goes full old style and uses a horse (well, "uses" is really loose here, he mostly just walks beside it and ride with the other guys lmao think of the very few times we see him drive in canon for reference), so does Luke, because I am convinced he has a soft spot for every animal and horses are cool as shit; the rest uses cars or motos for practicably's sake but when it comes to it all of them can ride like crazy. Yes, even J.J. with her silly lil flower shop.

Emily became this sheriff-ish person shortly after Hotch stepped down to live on the camp with his son in peace, but she is mostly at Rossi's drinking everything he has and making jabs at the town's politicians and how much they take out of her- a really wasted sheriff ends up being taken back to her home in a horse as her roomies watch with concern.

And yes, Emily and Spencer are roomies on this. Everyone that is not married and/or with kids (tho I made an few exceptions-) is someone's roomie on this, actually. Because it would be CUTE and the whole thing on Spence's mind is that everyone is on the same small town and he is so right- On 13x15 Spencer is loafing around Em's apparent like is his damn house so lmao, more to who is who's roomie down below but let's just say that Aristoteles (Spence's horse) had been riding (riden?? I dunno english is dumb) by a really wasted Emily that by his actual owner. The fucking thing rolls his eyes at her.

Rossi works with Ashley Seaver, who until before he re-married Chysta was the only other occupant of his saloon/home- and even after he ties the knot still is, don't worry. I just think in canon that their bond is really sweet and I can't really see her as another cowgirl- so an fellow bartender it is.

And speaking of minor girlies- On J.J's shop, she works with Jordan Todd who takes care of everything when she is on matertiny leave (or just busy with the kids in general) and -after a bad experience with a violent robber- ex-cowgirl Elle Greenaway. Before meeting Will and stuff, JJ and Jordan were roomies but ever since she became a family woman, Jordan moved to Elle's (and they kiss because that would be cool-) a little, modest house near J.J's shop. Pretty much everytime some of the Cow-fellows got hurt or something doing their job they would work for a while at J.J's or Rossi's, but Seaver, Jordan and Elle stayed there cause they preferred that life.

And speaking of former cowboys/girls- there had been a number of them that had retired and sold their cattle and bigger lands to settle in and have a nice little family. As I mentioned before, Hotch was the Sheriff before deciding to devote his time to being with Jack most of the time, so he is enjoying that sweet retirement money on an lil house near J.J's shop so his son can grow next to his "cousins".

Kate was a similar case- after getting pregnant, she hang the rope up and started to work on the little market near her home, selling her friend's farms products.

Alex was a cowgirl for an while and actually taught Spencer some things, but after an stressed cow almost kick his fucking head off his torso she went full "nope" and started teaching at the town's one and only's college, she and James lives near Spencer and Emily's tho so occasionally they read together.

And finally Derek was something like Hotch's second on command for an while but after finding love and stuff he became something like the town's handyman, so he could spend more time with newly born Hank. He was Spencer's roomie before Emily but the night he left, Reid gave him one of his cows as an "never forget me" present so lil Hank could be raised near these critters they had loved so much and raised together for 11 years- everyone is all ".....he is literally moving next door- you can WALK to everyone's house here!" but that don't stop the not very straight hug and tears.

Yes, Gideon is dead on here too- sorry but Spencer without some kind of trauma ain't Spencer- he just fell out of his horse after it got scared by thunder. (hehe, giving lore to what Reid's deal with ridding Aristoteles is-)

Stephen is alive tho. He plays Jazz with his band on Rossi's and is overall living his best life.

Luke and Tara are roomies. He used to be Matt's but *points to the Derek and Spencer's segment* family and kids happened, so Tara moved in shortly after she left her fiance. They live on a farm on the other side of town- (the Spen&Em farm is near the congress, theirs is closer to the dessert's part of it) They mostly have sheep instead of cows tho, since Roxy here is a herding dog and Tara used to be a veterinarian before moving to town. She didn't knew she wanted to be a cowgirl in one of the Spen&Em's cows escaped and went wild on town and she didn't fucking hesitate to take Luke's rope and handle the thing- since she decided to make girlbossing with cows and sheep her whole path in life. Luke also does patrols across town to keep order and stuff, but his night duties are mostly.... trap cows that a very drunk Sheriff had accidentally let out of her own farm. Look she is trying ok? and it's really funny. During the day, since Tara looks after the farm when she is not serving cunt, he helps at Penelope's, which brings me to...

Like Reid said in the famous scene, she works in an animal shelter. PG looks after literally anything that moves- since dogs and cats to that one snake that Tara brought with her from her first job (much to everyone's horror but she loves Noddle so everyone can suck it) and while she didn't "like" Luke at first (quote "this town is not big enough for two cowboys" ignoring the fact she is friends with 3 active cowboys- cowpeople?....cowboys.) but after he brought her his dog and horse, they started to bond over it and she pretty much goes to his home every single night since his farm has the most animals (remember that Tara is a former vet-) and also because that ever since Derek got an life and Emily moved out of her little coon she had been feeling a bit lonely and there is so much that dogs and cows can help with that.

Matt is the only active cowboy with family- But that is because he is more on the rescuer side- like a firefighter, the cow on the name is just the aesthetic lmao- so his horary is way more flexible since he doesn't has to actually watch for a herd or an alcoholic roomie.

An overall, despite the constant storms and other incidents, because the general population is really fucking dumb, despite the occasional tragedy and how many times that fucking cow leaves the farm and makes everyone's lives harder- at the end of the day, Cowboy Spencer just sits on the grass, a horse that is more of an assigned driver that an actual horse by his side, a stressed Sheriff with a killer hangover that is begging him to help her fill the taxes and a book on his lap as he is trying to explain the depth of the Odessey to his cow Mildret, and everything is good.

#criminal minds #there is so much shit to tag here omfg is pretty much EVERYONE #spencer reid #emily prentiss #penelope garcia #jennifer jareau #luke alvez #tara lewis #david rossi #those are the ones that have the most detail lmao
