The Set-Up

Pairing: Ashton Irwin/Britt

Words: 4300+

Author's Note: So, I was told to write this by @galcalirwin to expand on Britt and Ash's relationship and of course I had to. I'm a fluff master. I hope you guys like this!

You were standing in the corner of the raging party that Caroline brought you to, watching everyone dance with someone they either knew or just met. You fiddle with the plastic red cup in your hands before taking a quick drink when Ashton walks up to you.

"Hey, Britt, whatcha doin' in the corner?" He asks teasingly, a grin on his lips.

You blush and giggle nervously while glancing down at the ground. "I-I just… do-don't know anyone?" You mumble into a question, stumbling over almost every word and you silently curse yourself.

"You know me, Care, and Luke," he insists and you nod your head in agreement, clearing your throat. "You could've come over to us instead of standing all alone."

Your heart pounds against your chest as Ashton's hazel eyes stare down at you. "S-So, uhm, how d-do you know Care?" You stutter, deciding to try and make conversation with him as Ash smiles, glancing her way.

"The same as most people in this room, I suppose," he answers and takes a sip of whatever liquid is in his cup.

You nod your head and tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. "I didn't re-realize that she dealt with the b-band's herself. Every time she makes a-a run with different bands, she's always dealing with the promo team," you explain, and Ashton chuckles and runs his hand through his curls.

"Well, love, we actually design a lot of our merch so I try to be involved as much as possible. Make sure everything is up to par, ya know," Ashton elaborates. "Care is probably the best of the best."

"Yeah, she's pretty great isn't she?" You ask and glance towards her as she dances with her boyfriend, Luke. You envied her a lot, wishing you had the confidence she had with men.

“Yeah, she’s cool. She always has a pretty friend to introduce me to," he says while looking directly at you. You blush, feeling your cheeks heat up as you take a big swig of your drink.

“Yeah, s-she has a lot of pretty friends," you play off, wondering if she's ever introduced any of our other friends to him.

Ashton takes his bottom lip between his teeth, looking around before bringing his attention back to you. "Maybe I can get her pretty friends number? So, I can get to know her better?" He low-key flirts, tilting his head a bit as your breath hitches in your throat.

"I-Mine?" You ask for clarification, swallowing thickly as Ashton giggles and nods his head. "O-Oh! Y-Yeah, yeah…" You look for a place to set your cup down and Ashton pulls out his phone, handing it to you.

You grab his phone and type in your contact information before handing it back to him. You smile at him shyly, grabbing your drink from the surface beside you, and take a couple of sips. Ashton holds up his phone and you blush, looking away from him. “Oh, come on. I need a picture for your contact,” he insists and you swallow thickly, feeling your skin heat up. “Please?”

A deep breath comes from your nose and you turn your head back towards him. “Okay,” you whisper and tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. You smile softly at him and Ashton grins while quickly taking your picture.

“Cute,” he confirms and turns the phone to show you. You hum, chewing on the rim of the plastic cup as you look at the photo he just took and you weren’t upset with it. You actually did look pretty cute.

“C-Can I get one of you? For when I have your number?” You ask nervously, looking up at the brunette as Ashton nods his head. He holds up a finger before going to get something as you set your cup back down to get your phone out of your little satchel. You tap your fingers against the case of your phone, the nerves flowing through your veins as you can’t believe this gorgeous ass man wants anything to do with you.

Ashton returns with a cowboy hat on his head and a laugh erupts from your throat. “How do I look?” He asks to try and make you less nervous than you are.

“Dorky,” you answer, pressing your lips together to suppress the laugh you’re holding in. “B-But cute.” You hold up your phone, focusing in on him and Ashton throws up a peace sign, his pink lips pursed a bit. You giggle softly and take his picture, inspecting it immediately after. Ashton walks closer to you, his body only a couple of inches away from yours and your breath hitches in your throat. You look up at him through your lashes and show him the picture. “Look good?”

“Yeah,” he whispers and his hazel eyes meet yours. You shudder a bit under his gaze and rub your arms, playing it off as if you’re just cold.

“I-I… I’ll be back,” you stutter, feeling the need to have some air. You walk away from him, glancing over your shoulder as you head towards the sliding door. You wipe your face with your hands, taking a big huff of breath as you make it outside and feel the cool air. “Holy fucking shit what just happened?”

“Are you excited to see Ash?” Care asks and you nod your head slowly, fiddling with your fingers as the two of you are currently in the Uber.

“Yeah, obviously,” you mumble and take a glance towards her. “It’d be nice to see him for a few days.”

“Yeah! I’m dying to see Luke,” she states and wiggles her eyebrows at you and you let out a groan.

“Oh my fucking god, Caroline! I didn’t need any indication that the two of you were going to fuck,” you laugh and shake your head. The Uber pulls up to the hotel the boys were staying at before the two of you clamber out of the vehicle.

Caroline chuckles and shrugs her shoulders while opening the trunk to grab your things. You pull your duffel bag out of the trunk, hiking it onto your shoulder. Your friend says thanks to the Uber driver before the two of us walk into the hotel lobby.

“When do you plan to tell Ashton that you like him?” Your best friend asks and you choke on your spit a bit, glancing towards her with wide eyes. You wait to give her your answer as she tells the receptionist that we’re meeting up with the boys. The man checks the list that the band’s manager gave them before giving both of you keys.

“I don’t have a crush on Ash,” you tell her when the two of you step into the elevator. Care scoffs while pressing floor 34’s button, turning her attention to you.

“Yeah, mhm, sure,” she mumbles.

You blink a few times before shaking your head, running your hand through your hair. “Just because I stutter and blush a lot around him doesn’t mean I have a crush on him. You know I get nervous around men, especially if that man is a fucking God.”

A laugh leaves her lips and you let out a sigh, turning your gaze to the silver elevator doors. “Alright fine. You don’t have a crush on him… yet,” Caroline shrugs as the door opens up. She walks out first as you stare at her back, letting out a huff of breath as you know this won’t be the last time you have this conversation.

Care knocks on the door Luke and Ashton are staying in and you could feel your stomach twist in knots. Whenever you want to see Ash you always become nervous and you wish you didn't. He was great. He's really sweet and funny. But, he's so fucking handsome.

Luke opens the door, his blue eyes widening at the sight of his girlfriend in front of him. "Holy shit, Care-" he cuts himself off and takes a step forward to wrap his arms around her waist, lifting the girl off the ground.

"Luke, who is it?" Ashton calls from inside the room as you smile at the couple's reunion. Luke's eyes meet yours and motions his head, allowing you into the hotel room.

Your fingers play with the hem of your shirt, walking past the tall blonde as you see Ashton sitting on the edge of his bed. "Hey, you," you say softly and Ashton snaps his head up at the sound of your voice.

He lets out a small gasp, tossing his phone to the side before walking towards you. "Hey, pretty girl," Ash mumbles and rests his hands on your shoulders. "I-What are you doing here?"

"Surprise?" You ask with a giggle, biting your lip afterward. A breathy laugh comes from his lips before wrapping his arms around your shoulders, pulling you into his body.

"Aw, look at you two!" Caroline teases and the two of you pull away. You clear your throat and scratch the back of your neck as you can feel your cheeks heat up.

Ashton's cheeks also blush as Luke and Care give him a knowing look. The red-haired man rolls his eyes quickly to cover up his frustration before speaking up.

"So, what do we owe the pleasure of you two surprising us? Do the others know?" Ashton asks and you look to Care for her to explain.

"Well, we're obviously here for your birthdays, duh. And of course the others know," she laughs and shrugs her shoulders while wrapping her arm around Luke.

Luke glances down at his brunette girlfriend, his thumb rubbing along her hip. "And your work just let you fly across the world at the drop of the hat?" He asks and Care gives him a look before scoffing.

"You see, baby, I don't know if you know this… but I'm in charge of deliveries," she smirks and both Luke and Ashton furrow their eyebrows together.

"But we didn't order any merch," Ashton exclaims and Caroline chuckles and pulls out a fake purchase order.

"You didn't order two hot girls? Hm, must've been someone else. C'mon, Britt, I guess they don't want us here," she states and grabs a hold of your wrist. The two of you walk towards the door when Luke sprints forward.

"No, no, no," he stops us, grabbing a hold of his girl. "You're not going anywhere."

You walk out of the bathroom after putting your nightshirt on, noticing that Care's in Luke's bed. You stop dead in your tracks, eyes shifting from them to Ashton who's already tucked in.

"I…" you trail off and glance back towards your best friend. "I thought Care and I were sharing a bed?" You ask out loud as your face heats up in embarrassment.

Caroline winced and glances towards her boyfriend, mumbling incoherently. "Well, you see, I haven't seen Luke in a while so I thought…?" She shrugs and you bite the inside of your lip.

"Plus, I don't want to sleep with Ash. He's a bed hog," the blonde pipes up and Ashton's head snaps over to them.

"Says the bed hog," he mentions before meeting your gaze.

"Care? A word?" You ask and she sighs before climbing out of bed. You grab her wrist and lead her into the bathroom. "What the fuck?"

A knowing smirk covers her lips and you groan, running your fingers through your hair. "What?"

"All this planning you did and you didn't even think to get us a room? You made a fake order but couldn't get us a room?!" You exclaim, your eyes wide as you think about having to share the same bed with Ashton.

"Why get a selection room when they have a perfectly good one?" Care asks, pointing in the directions of their beds.

You look at her like she's gone mad, believing that she truly enjoys torturing you. "Seriously? You expect me to just sleep with Ash??!"

"I mean…" she trails off and wiggles her eyebrows.

"You're so lucky I love you," you grunt and walk past her. You take a deep breath while heading closer to Ash's bed, feeling his eyes on you.

You quietly climb into the bed, giving the red-haired man a small smile. "You okay?" He asks softly and you nod your head. Ashton squeezes your arm gently before returning his attention back to his phone.

Almost an hour goes by and you're still wide awake, staring at the ceiling. You can hear Ashton's deep breaths coming from his nose, indicating that he was asleep. You glance over at him in the dark, making out his features a little bit when a soft moan catches your attention.

"Fuck," Care whispers a little too loudly and you let out a gagging noise.

"Are you two serious?! Right now?!" You call out and sit up, looking towards the two silhouettes.

"Jesus Christ, Britt!" Care gasps and Luke turns on the lamp beside him. "Why are you awake?!"

You give her a look and motion towards Ashton who's slowly waking up. "Maybe because I'm sleeping in a bed with a man that I'm nervous around," you pause and cross your arms over your chest, "the real question is why the fuck do y'all need to have sex now?! And not when we're gone?"

She makes a noise and throws her hands up into the air. "Cause we've been busy all day, I dunno. Fuck, dude. We won't fuck here then," she states and reaches over to shut the lamp off before you could hear them shuffling around.

You let out a sigh, rubbing your hands on your face as Ashton turns the lamp on. You lay back on the pillow and turn your head towards him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," you whisper, and Ashton shrugs.

"It's alright," he chuckles, his voice a bit raspy as he lays on his arm. You shift your position and on your side, copying him. "So…"

"So?"

"You really came all this way with Care just so she didn't have to travel alone to see Luke?" He asks and you shake your head.

"You really think I'd miss the chance to see you on your birthday? Are you gonna stand there and say that you're not happy to see me?" You chuckle as you joke with him, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.

It's Ashton's turn to shake his head and he shifts closer to you. You can feel your body become warm and your stomach churns as the nerves start to come back. "No, no, of course, I'm happy to see you," he whispers and his hazel eyes drop to your lips, "really happy."

You swallow the lump in his throat as Ashton starts to lean in slowly. Your eyes flutter shut, your fingers gripping the pillow and you can feel his breath fan against your lips. Just before Ashton's lips meet yours, the bathroom door bursts open, Luke emerging in just a towel.

You and Ashton jump apart as you clear your throat, looking away from the two of them. “What the fuck, Luke?” Ashton mumbles and rubs his hands along his jaw.

The blonde fumbles through Care’s luggage, pulling out a condom. “Forgot this,” he says before running back into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.

You curse to yourself as you think about what just happened between you and Ash, your cheeks blushing slightly. “T-That was awkward,” you stutter and Ashton hums in agreement.

You're excited to see everyone after going to Paris for almost a month. Your job had asked you to supervise their France company and you had to take the offer. You braid your hair into pigtails, smoothing out the top of your head before gathering your things to leave.

Thoughts of Ashton bleed through your brain as you slip into the driver's seat, especially excited to see him. Ever since Care and Luke pronounced us godparents, the two of you have gotten a little closer than you were before. At least… you think you have.

Although he didn't talk to you at all while you were in Paris, and you tried constantly but you never got any answer. The nervousness begins to pool as you drive towards Caroline's, gripping the steering wheel so tight that your knuckles turn white.

Once you arrive at her and Luke's house you let out a deep breath. You turn off and get out of your vehicle, jogging up to their front door. You knock loud enough for them to hear, wondering if everyone was already here or not.

Your brunette best friend opens her front door, her baby bump on full display and she lets out a gasp. "Britt! Holy shit I've missed you!" She squeals and wraps her arms around you.

"I've missed you too, Care!" You giggle and hug her back, being careful of the baby between you.

She pulls away a few seconds afterward, grabbing your hand. "Come in, come in! Everyone's here," Caroline mentions and you curse yourself a bit, hating being the last person to arrive at places.

You smile at your friend as she drags you into the living room, hearing the commotion between your group of friends. What shocks you the most is that there's a girl here you've never seen before.

Your smile drops as you glance towards the person beside her, who also has their hand interlaced with hers. Ashton… Your stomach drops at the sight of them before looking towards Care. She gives you a sad look, nodding her head as if she knows what you meant.

"Britt…" Ashton trails off as his eyes rake over you. You blush a bit and give him a small wave, mumbling a hi to everyone.

You move to sit down beside Calum, looking back in Ashton’s direction to see his hazel eyes still on you. You bite the inside of your cheek and take your eyes off him, trying not to show the hurt you're feeling.

"This is Kaykay, Ashton's girlfriend," Michael introduces and you smile at her. She does the same, giving you a wave before the girl looks up at her black-haired lover.

You watch her squeeze his hand, having it rest in her lap and you can feel your throat closing up. "Excuse me," you mumble and push yourself off the couch, walking past everyone as you make a beeline to the bathroom.

Tears pool in your eyes by the time you reach the door and you let out a shaky breath. This can't be happening… Why is this happening? You think to yourself as you close the door behind you before leaning your back against it. I-I thought we were getting somewhere with our relationship? I don't get it…

"Britt?" Caroline's voice calls out as she knocks on the door.

You snap your head up, moving away from the door and wipe the tears as it opens. Care steps into the bathroom before shutting the door again, opening her arms wide after she turns back to face you. You thrust yourself into her embrace, holding your cries in as frustration washes over you.

"I-I don't understand," you trail off and pull away, sniffling softly, "when did he start seeing her? And why her? I-I-"

"Thought you two had a thing?" She finishes, cutting you off and you nod shortly. "It's all just bad timing. You two have been friends for two years and even though there was an attraction, in the beginning, it's definitely developed into something deeper. We can all see it."

You blush majorly at her words, not knowing it was so obvious. "I- For real?" You ask and Care giggles, nodding her head. "O-Oh…"

A knock on the door makes you jump and his voice makes you shiver slightly. "Britt? Everything okay?" Ashton asks and you press your lips together, crossing your arms over your chest. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah…" you trail off and the bathroom door opens, the black-haired man standing in the doorway with a sad expression on his face.

Caroline glares at her friend, already knowing that she needs to give him a stern talking. You bump your arm with Care, giving her a look and she sighs before walking out of the room. Ashton shuts the door behind him and you watch him fiddle with his fingers.

You clear your throat and feel the tension in the air. "S-She's pretty," you stutter and Ashton scratches the back of his neck, nodding his head.

"When did you get back?" He whispers and you furrow your eyebrows a bit.

"Uhm, two days ago," you tell him and Ash nods, muttering the word good. "What happened between us?"

Ashton furrows his eyebrows in confusion as you look up at him. "What… what do you mean?" He asks and you scoff.

"I sent you so many texts while I was in Paris and you never answered me. Ignored me. I thought… I thought we were closer than that?" You question him.

The black-haired man shakes his head and rushes to get his phone out of his pocket. "I didn't receive anything after I told you that I loved you," he mutters and shows you the messages.

"... Loved?" You whisper, looking up at him through your lashes. "You don't love me anymore?"

Ashton lets out a breathy laugh, his free hand grabbing a hold of your arm and squeezes it gently. "Of course I still love you. I've loved you for two years, pretty girl," Ash confesses and you couldn't help but smile, your heart fluttering in your chest.

The black-haired man shakes his head and rushes to get his phone out of his pocket. "I didn't receive anything after I told you that I loved you," he mutters and shows you the messages.

He brings his hand to your face and strokes your cheek with his thumb. You hesitantly reach out to him, your fingers grazing against the shirt he was wearing. “You think...maybe… you’d still want to go on that date?” You quietly ask and Ashton rests his forehead against yours.

“Absolutely I do,” he states and your eyes flutter shut. “Friday? Six-thirty?”

You nod your head and wrap your arms around his neck, pressing your body against his. Ash wraps his arms around your waist, hugging you tightly. “I missed you,” you mumble into his neck.

“I missed you too, so fucking much.”

Ashton watches you from across the room as you and Michael are gathering enough snacks for the six of you. Caroline walks up to the man and begins smacking his arm, snapping Ashton from his gaze.

"Ow, Care! What the fuck?!" He yells and flinches away from her.

"This is for making Britt cry last week!" She tells him and continues to smash him.

The black-haired man hisses and grabs a hold of her hand. "Okay, stop! I fixed it, didn't I? Like, we're together now!" He mentions and Caroline rips her hand from his grasp, letting out a huff.

"Doesn't mean you didn't bring an innocent woman into your mess, Ashton!" She scolds and Ashton looks at her with wide eyes before glancing towards his blonde friend.

"Don't look at me," Luke holds his hands up in surrender, "she's six months pregnant, dude."

Ash hesitantly looks back towards his good friend, preparing himself to get hit again. "Kaykay and I weren't that serious. We're fine. No hard feelings," he mutters and Care looks at him for a few seconds before slapping his arms again. "Stop hitting me!"

You and Michael make your way back into the living room, your eyebrows furrowing together at the sight of Ashton cowering away from your best friend. "What's going on here?" You ask, your eyes dancing between the two.

"Nothing! Just giving Ashton his scolding," Care smirks and you groan, shaking your head.

"Care! I told you everything was fine!" You tell her with a laugh, setting all the food onto the coffee table.

Caroline shrugs her shoulders and heads towards Luke, resting her head on his chest. Ashton blinks at her behavior, never understanding the mood swings she's been having. His hazel eyes move to you and his heart flutters at the sight of you.

He moves towards you, his hands reaching out to grab your waist. You giggle and place your hands on his shoulders. "Hi, baby," Ashton grins and slides his hand around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

"Hey, you," you smile and run your fingers through his hair.

"I love you," Ashton whispers, and your cheeks blush a bit, earning a giggle from the man. "C'mon, still?? I figure we got past the stage where you blush at everything I say."

You slap his chest and scoff playfully. "Shut up! You know I'm shy around attractive guys," you mumble and give him a pout.

Ashton aw's and runs his thumb along your bottom lip. "You think I'm attractive?" He asks, a smirk on his lips and you roll your eyes.

"Yes, I think you're attractive. Thought that ever since I met you," you tell him and wrap your arms around him again, locking your hands together.

"Well, I think you're really attractive too," he mumbles against your lips and you shudder at the feeling of your lips brushing. "So attractive that I really want to kiss you."

Caroline let out a loud groan and the two of you glance towards her, seeing her and everyone else looking at you. "Will you fucking kiss her already?!" She practically demands and you give her a look.

You glance back towards Ashton, ready to apologize when he lifts your chin with his index finger before pressing his lips to yours. Your eyes flutter closed, moving your body closer to his. You kiss him back and his hands move to your hips.

"They're cute," Caroline whispers to Luke, resting her back against his chest. The blonde man hums in response, his hands resting on her baby bump.

"Yeah, they really are. You kinda set them up like he set us up," he mumbles back and presses a soft kiss to her cheek.

You and Ashton pull away, a smile on both of your lips. The black-haired man brings his hand to your face, stroking your cheek softly before pressing a quick kiss to the corner of your mouth.

"You wanna come over tonight?" He whispers so no one else hears and you chuckle softly before nodding your head.

"I'd love to."

Stars and Supernovae | April

Summary: As soon as you meet Tyler Seguin, you know you’re destined to be best friends. Sometimes you wonder if you’re destined to be more, but life keeps getting in the way. Perhaps it’s just not written in the stars? Note: This is Part 2. Part 1

“Hello my loves!” you chirped as you opened the door with your key. Cash and Marshall came running to you, Cash jumping up and down excitedly and Marshall licking your hand. They knew, by now, what it meant when you came into their house.

Ever since that party at Jamie’s house, you’d developed a quick and easy friendship with Tyler. With Katie being constantly busy with her new boyfriend, a new friendship was more than welcome in your life, and you guessed Tyler was in the same boat, since his best friend was Katie’s boyfriend.

At first, you’d bonded over your shared love of murder documentaries, and then you found out Tyler barely ate anything but take out food, so you’d started cooking for him before your documentary nights, and then Tyler had learned you loved hiking, so he’d started to ask you out on hikes with the dogs. Soon, you saw him nearly every day.

But when he was busy, you entertained yourself with your favorite Seguins; the dogs. Tyler had given you a key and whenever you had some free time between or after classes, you picked them up from his house, loaded them in your small car, and took them to a dog park or out for a walk.

Normally, when you entered Tyler’s house, the house was silent and dark, and although it was still quiet this time, there was a light coming from the kitchen and it smelled suspiciously like burnt toast.

Just when you started to make your way over there, assuming Tyler forgot to turn out the lights when he left, he appeared in the hallway.

“Y/N!” he exclaimed. “Hey! What are you doing here?”

“I came to take out the dogs.” You frowned. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have morning skate?” You knew he had a game tonight, which was why you’d simply assumed he wouldn’t be home. Morning skate wasn’t mandatory, but Tyler never missed one, as if was a very important part of his pre-game routine. He’d told you that himself.

Tyler’s face fell and you knew you’d said the wrong thing, but you didn’t really know why. “What’s the point?” he said gruffly, and his hand curled around Cash’s ear, who was pushing his nose against Tyler’s leg. “We’re already out of the playoffs, there’s no real reason to even win this game.”

You sighed. “Oh, Ty…”

“And to make matters worse,” Tyler continued, as if you hadn’t spoken, “I burnt my toast.” At this, you giggled. You didn’t think you’d ever met someone as incompetent in the kitchen as Tyler. Katie had told you that Jamie was actually a pretty good cook, and you knew Tyler used to eat at Jamie’s most evenings, but now that Katie was there all the time, he’d been relying on take out.

You dropped your bag at the door, deciding that the dogs could wait for a bit, and made your way over to the kitchen, pushing past your mopey friend.

“Sit down,” you told him, “I’ll do it. I simply can’t watch you abuse this poor toaster any longer.” You looked around the kitchen, then opened the fridge. It was scarily empty, and you scoffed. “You need to get some food into this house, Segs.”

You turned around to find him sitting on a stool at the counter, his face resting in his hands. You knew it was normal for hockey players to lose a fair bit of weight towards the end of the season, and gain it back over the summer, but you still didn’t like the way Tyler’s cheeks were hollowing out, nor did you like the lines of worry edged into his forehead or the bags under his eyes.

“I know,” Tyler mumbled, and his eyes followed you around the kitchen as you started gathering the few ingredients you could manage to make something out of. “What are you making?”

“Well, you’ve got milk, bread, eggs and sugar.” You grinned at him. “That’s all that’s needed for french toast. I’ll have you know I make the best french toast, my mom said so herself.”

Tyler laughed at that, and you felt proud of yourself for cheering him up at least momentarily.

“How’s school?” he asked. “And work?”

You knew he was trying to distract you, and maybe himself too, from how miserable he was, and you decided to let him, at least for now. So you rambled on about school; astronomy was pretty difficult, but you loved it so much, that you felt you could talk about it forever. You were a lot shorter about your job.

“If I have to listen to one more guy talk to my boobs, instead of me, I might spontaneously combust,” you growled, putting a plate of french toast in front of Tyler. “I swear they don’t even bother trying to seem decent. No wonder I’m single.” You stuck out your pointy finger at him, jabbing him in the chest. “You better not behave like that when you’re trying to pick someone up.”

Tyler held up his hands defensively. “I definitely don’t. And I don’t pick up girls that often anymore.” He’d told you about his past, and so had Jamie and a few other guys on the team when you’d met up with them a few weeks ago.

It turned out Tyler was quite the ladies man, and nobody was expecting him to settle down anytime soon, maybe ever. It was not a side of Tyler you’d seen so far, but then again, he usually kept you away from his teammates, never took you out celebrating after a win, instead asking you to come over to watch Netflix and eat pizza.

And to be fair, you didn’t mind it at all. You liked this Tyler, a lot, and you didn’t know you would like that other Tyler so much.

Tyler hummed appreciatively as he took a bite of his breakfast. “You weren’t lying. You really do make some great french toast.”

“If you get groceries more often, I’ll cook for you more often,” you offered him, and he raised his eyebrow.

“Are you trying to fatten me up?”

Your eyes glazed over his tired face, and you shrugged. “Is it working?”

“Absolutely,” he grinned, taking another bite. He basically inhaled his breakfast after that, while you continued to talk about things that didn’t really matter, mostly to keep his mind off the upcoming game. The tension in his shoulders seemed to flow away little by little, as you told your stories, but then you stood up and it reappeared instantly.

“The boys are getting restless,” you explained, pointing at Cash, who was curling around your legs, wagging his tail. “I’m going to take them out to the D-O-G-P-A-R-K before I go.” You had to spell out their favorite destination, because otherwise they’d go insane and would be completely impossible to get them into the car.

“I wish I could go with you,” Tyler mumbled, and the sadness was back in his eyes and it was killing you.

“Hey, don’t you dare go all mopey on me again,” you told sternly. “You’re not allowed to feel sorry for yourself until this season is officially over. You said there’s no reason to win this game, but there is. You owe it to yourself, the fans, and to me, specifically.” You glared at him. “I’ve not been watching every single one of your games for the past two months for you to just give up on me. I want to see you win.” Tyler raised his eyebrows.

“You’ve been watching my games?” he asked, a hint of smugness in his voice.

“Obviously.” You hadn’t wanted to admit it to him, not wanting his head to get any bigger and also not wanting to let him know how much he had turned into a part of your life in the past two months, even when he wasn’t around; but he was upset and you hated seeing him upset. Maybe a little ego boost would pull him out of it. “You’re one of my closest friends, Ty, I want you to succeed and I want to be there to see it, to be a part of it.”

“You have no idea how much I want that, too,” Tyler said softly, and it was one of those rare moments where he showed his vulnerable side, the side you’d only seen once or twice before. He reached out, his hand wrapping around your wrist and pulling you towards him, until you fell against his chest and both his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into a close hug. His breathing was steady, his chest rising and falling against your body, and you closed your eyes and allowed yourself to just be, for a while.

Something in you wanted to reach out and curl your hands into his hair, but that seemed to intimate for people who were just friends, so you kept your hands firmly pressed into his back. You didn’t think Tyler had any female friends, all the people who would be there for him were guys, and he was always acting tough around them. Having a female friend, someone he could be himself with completely, must mean a lot to him, you realized, and it made you shove those feelings that were welling up deep in your stomach back in the box you’d put them that very first night you met him.

You were going to be Tyler’s friend, and you were going to be good at it, too. Damn, you’d be the best friend he’d ever have.

“If I get you a ticket for tonight, will you come to the game?” Tyler said then, softly in your ear, and your heartbeat sped up. You’d never been to a hockey game before. “Katie will probably be there too,” he continued, as if he felt your hesitation. “Please?”

You sighed. You didn’t think there was anything he could ask of you that you would say no to. “Of course I’ll come, Ty,” you told him, then pulled away from him. “But I don’t have any Stars merch. That shit is expensive and I’m a struggling college student.”

Tyler held up his hand, signaling you to wait, as he barreled out of the kitchen and you heard his footsteps thumping up the stairs. Marshall gave you a single wag of his tail, as if he was trying to say that he understood, that he would wait a bit longer. When Tyler came back, he was holding a Stars jersey, a triumphant smile on his face.

“I’ll get you some more stuff that’s actually new,” he said, handing you the #91 jersey. “But you need to wear something tonight, so you can have one of mine.”

The jersey smelled like Tyler, like laundry detergent and woody cologne and hockey tape, and you pressed it to your chest with a smile. “Thanks, Ty. If you get me a new jersey, can you get me a Jason Spezza one?”

He let out a growl as he reached for you and you jumped back with a squeal, giggling as you ran towards the door, the dogs on your heels.

“I’ll see you tonight, Ty,” you grinned, leashing the dogs, and he shook his head as he watched you leave.

“See you tonight, Shiny.”

my II Experience

Hey, a bunch of you guys have been asking me my experience and honestly I wanted to tell y’all how amazing it was but I was still on the high from the show and friends last night. I’ll put everything about the show under the cute and everything before the show before the cut! It was honestly one of the best nights of my life and it was so great to meet up with a bunch of amazing people! I will never forget this night :’)

Before the Meet & Greet:

I didn’t take a picture of the thank you note, but I made a little doodle and thank you note of the II team and I gave it to Ryann as she was by the merch table when I arrived

I was lowkey intimidated by her so I made @haleykynz @danisonfire @gryphll @bellesandtea come with me ajhsdka (also I fuckin love these guys...v talented people)

Ryann said thanks and smiled really big and then went inside to show the rest of the crew

While we were waiting outside, some people started airdropping random shit kashdlaskjd (see below...its not letting me post it up here)

when I got to the security check I had my lanyard in my backpack and I always carry pepper spray with me so they told me I couldn’t go in with the spray sakdhkajsd so i literally ran back to the car, chucked the spray, and ran back and then i was v sweaty (thankfully the car was less than a 5 min walk)

Marianne (icon) was organizing us inside and went over the general rules of the meet and greet

they dropped the video right before the meet n greet asldjhaksjd i hate them

DnP came out, and we all lost our shit and started hyperventilating and some of the people around our group were like...wtf???

DnP were both wearing black and god was REAL because I just wanted Phil to either be wearing glasses or black and the universe listened to me and had phil wear black

Meet & Greet

OMG ailhdsjlasdjaksdkjhaslkjdhajsdhakjsdhljkasdlkjasdkljalksjdlkajsd

for my letter, I actually had a thicc envelope because not only did I have my actual letter, I printed out the entire script of the Bee Movie and I wish I can see their expressions of whenever they saw my letter ajdhaksld

I filmed for Haley, and I freaked out and almost forgot cause they were so beautiful and I couldn’t stop staring at how good they looked

Haley and I switched places, and Dan gave met he softest look EVER and Phil did this cute ass smile and they were both like hello :’)

I looked at Phil again up close and blacked out

In the time I blacked out I gave them both a hug (they both smelled good, their voices were so much deeper, I almost cried; Phil was so nice to hug cause he is so skinny and I just wrapped my arms around his torso; Dan was like a bear...he was so soft and while it was his usual side hug it was still so nice)

I deemed myself unworthy of looking at Phil because he was just so beautiful so I remember looking at Dan a bit more but I would black out every time I switched to look at Phil

I had them sign a bro post and I lowkey don’t remember if they said anything about it because I was too busy rehearsing my dumb joke in my head

I asked dnp “if their thighs were sore from all the squatting they’ve been doing at meet and greets” KJLHADLKJASD

They both chuckled and I almost nut because their voices were so deep and then Phil was like “ah quite a bit” and Dan was like “haha yes this is the most exercise we’ve done in a few weeks”

we did our poses and I was so close to the THIDDIES

after the meet and greet haley and I literally had to stop to catch our breaths and like just not faint akshjdkajsd

After Meet & Greet and in between show

Our group recollected downstairs and we literally just all were trying to breathe and we shared our experiences with each other

We went out to buy some merch and I saw @philtrovert (hi Amy) and another girl whose name I forgot to ask

also we met @hey-laura right before the show started! queen!!!

also I met @thesquishtm right at the end after the show !!!

Show under the cut

The Show:

I was sitting in the 3rd row and I was so close I could see them SO CLEARLY and despite my blacking out when I originally saw Phil, I was able to see him during the entire show and he was so hot FUCK

literally felt bad for Alana cause I kept on saying how hot he was every 5 minutes

also Dan does have an ass asjkdhaskd

Dan did the fuckin naruto run

one of the truth bombs for what they’ve got hidden from each other was that Dan and Phil have shrines of each other and Dan’s shrine for Phil is just his dead houseplants and Phil’s shrine for him is dan’s head made out of bubble gum

Dan writes shrek x donkey x self insert reader fic from his secret wattpad account

Phil fuckin DABBED because for truth bombs someone was like Phil actually wants to be Part of Team 10 aklsdhlaksjd

also apparently our show was really different compared to the rest of the shows in terms of the survey...a lot of the results they saw they weren’t expecting based on previous shows

There was so much dabbing...why

In the simulation, we chose all the evil ones obviously and Phil ended up being with Satan and a creepy ass picture of Dan popped up and jumpscared me and Dan ended up being dead after going through a Lady door at a furry convention and dying because his tail got caught

Phil was really hot

In Dan’s box the options were hiding snacks from Phil, his houseplant shrine to Phil, and Kidz Bop tickets

Phil was fuckin deaf (poor old man i love him) and he came close to us and tried to hear what we were saying for like 5 minutes when someone said Kidz Bop

also the Kidz Bop on the Scroll was written Kids Bop but the s was crossed out and a Z was written over it ajkhdsakls

they talked a lot about how our actions have consequences and I know they were joking but also like calling the phandom in general out aklsdhasj

Phil was so beautiful and pretty

Our collective name was Linda

Dan was on the wheel and Phil missed all three times but he was close to Dan’s nips like 2/3 times

when phil came out wearing that torturing outfit...GOD HELP ME I FUCK HE LOOKED GOOD

Phil Lester’s nipple kink was THRIVING like nipples were mentioned a total of 6 times throughout the show

everyone started screaming when Dan stripped asdlhjasd

Phil was so cute holy fuck

Dan was cute too I guess I kinda loved him a lot and I wanted to just hold him

They did phantastic facts :’) got bless

Dan literally knew all the Phil questions and he called himself Phil trash #1

the question was “what was Phil’s second music video” and he guessed Toxic which was right

Phil was asked what Dan’s 2nd favorite color was and he literally could have said grey which was a normal answer but he said purple and got it wrong (Dan said it was silver)

the X rated Lester, Phil literally won all the times like UGH HIS MIND!

Dan had to make punching a baby & mayonnaise sound good rip akldhaskjd

Phil had to make “your sweet old grandma” sound bad and for the other 3 times he literally tied everything back to the sweet grandma actually being evil

THEY SAID MY FUCKIN NAME I DIED AND CRIED AND SHAT MYSELF AT THE SAME TIME I AJSHDKAJSDLKHAJSDKAJS DLKAHSDKJAHSLKDJHASKLDKASD

DAN SAID MY NAME AS AYNOOSH BUT SAID IT SUPER BRITISH AND HE’S VALID FOR IT

MY QUESTION WAS FOR THE DILEMMA AND PHIL HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HIM GETTING ALL OF DAN’S CEREAL BUT IN TURN PHIL HAD TO SHARE HALF HIS STASH OF SWEETS WITH DAN BUT PHIL SAID NO HE WOULDNT I CANT BELIEVE I CAUSED #PHANDIVORCE

THEY SAID MY NAME AND ALL MY FRIENDS SCREAMED WHEN THEY HEARD MY NAME SAKJDHAKSJD

god bless @whatthepeoplewant for recording it I owe you my life literally

Dan would have to give up the Internet but Phil would die and Dan chose to save Phil and everyone was like awwwww

like bitch he couldn’t live a day without Phil,,,,,

for II worst predictions someone was like Kathryn would come onstage and Dan proposes and LITERALLY EVERYONE DIED BUT YALL KNOW DNP they turned around the words and said that dan would propose to kathryn and then Phil called dan his stepdad so...@ fic writers....

phil looked so fuckin amazing

Phil’s disstrack was funny as hell and Dan used a air gun to shoot out capita£ester bucks in the air ICONIC

When Dan and Phil started singing I was clutching my left boob the entire time and I was teary eyed, especially at the part when they said that they never imagined they would get this far

All in all, it was one of the best nights of my life and I met some amazing people! I wish I could relive it again every day but alas, reality. I’m so happy and the post II depression hasn’t hit yet but I know it will soon and :(. I felt so much love and laughter yesterday, and seeing dnp live was such an amazing experience. I’m sorry if I sounded like I was bragging or something but I’m not I just wrote everything so I have all my memories accurate. Thank you to everyone who sent me an ask or commented on my pictures on instagram! I hope this was a good summary for you guys!

Okay I wanted to make a post about rep Tour Denver last night, but I’ll put it under the cut cause it might be long and I know not all of you care so. But if you wanted to read a superfan review @taylorswift or @taylornation here it is :)

So the day of I woke up at like 8 am cause that’s 9 am my time and I was just super excited. I held off on getting ready until I checked into my flight around 1. A little 1989 tour throwback for ya!

Okay so I got to the stadium around 2pm. My Lyft driver had asked me if Charli aka Charli XCX was her boyfriend. I set him straight don’t you worry. Anyway he had no idea where to drop me off at the stadium so just sort of let me out and I started walking toward the Merch bus, but saw her fleet of tour semis along the way.

I get closer to the Merch bus and some lady stops me and asks me where I’m headed so I told her and she told me I was in a restricted area so I apologized and told her my Lyft driver got lost. Oops. So I ended up buying the Grey tour hat, how could I not after the the TS Merch account retweeted me saying I wanted one. haha There was a little throne and I had some nice random people take my photo with it.

So I go find the line for field seating entry and Taylor Nation comes by and takes a video of us in line, so I made it on to their Insta and Twitter!!! I’m there for like 2 seconds maybe but I’m there. It was so HOT in the sun I was dying in this jacket but after I took it off for a while, I felt my shoulders burning so back on it went. I planned to go buy a water once I got inside, but I was just so overwhelmed, I had already started tearing up, that I just went straight to my seat and then I was too afraid to leave it for fear that I would miss something idk?? Anyway my seats looked fabulous, but I spent most of the time staring at her back and/or on the giant screen. Right next to the stage, but actually behind her with the layout

The video they played with her home videos and story up til now montage BITCH I CRIED. I sat there watching the rest of the videos wishing I had cash on me to buy water from the guy coming around with it, and then Charli XCX came out and she was fabulous. I was happy to finally actually know her opener, I knew most of Charli’s songs and sang and danced along she was fab. Camila came out walking right by that silver gate up there and waved at me so I waved back. The only song I know of hers is Havana so I just kind of swayed to her set, enjoying it. I had been warned that Tequila, Obsessed, and Bad Reputation would play before Taylor came out so I started freaking when they started.

I immediately started crying when that opening video montage started playing, and kept saying leave her alone @ the lame-o rude media people featured, and basically bawled while singing through all of Ready For It, while still managing to do some of the choreo from her SNL performance that didn’t change. I managed to sing along to the tour version of IDSB pretty well, guess I’d watched that video on Twitter more than I realized. haha The crowd was so loud on the line “If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing!” incredible good job team. After that song though holy shit the crowd went insane. We were all yelling SO LOUD Taylor couldn’t even speak. She kept lifting up her microphone to try and would just smile, and laugh, and adjust her earpiece. We were really blowing her away I’m so proud of us. She told us several times throughout the night what a great, and loud crowd we were, said we were the best crowd she’s ever had at Denver. Said she loved that we were all just YELLING the words to every song.

She was kind of on my side of the stage for LWYMMD and did the choreo from the music video, that iconic end part anyway, just modified cause this time she’s holding a mic, but I did it with her from the crowd it’s fine. It’s probably so good I was on the end of my row I needed the dancing space. I literally ran into the lady behind me during You Belong With Me when Taylor told us to jump. Guess I jumped backwards? LMAO I was too busy holding up my Fearless style hand heart. hahaha

Um so did she go to B stage after that or sing Don’t Blame Me? Listen I’m not a religious person AT ALL but Don’t Blame Me was a religious experience like I can’t even explain it. And when she fell to her knees on “I beg you on my knees to stay” like !!!!! stop girl you’re killing me it’s too much too much (don’t ever stop Taylor not ever)

Anyway so B stage acoustic set. DWOHT is my favorite on the album so I was singing it loudly but I felt like no one around me knew it?? So I could awkwardly hear my terrible singing voice the whole time?? Stop sleeping on my song people. But she said something like it’s been forever since I’ve played this song AND FUCKING SANG TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR. Listen I screamed and doubled over and couldn’t stop crying, I like sob sang my way through the entire time and my legs were shaking. It was the first Taylor song I ever owned and she was singing it all these years later. Every time I thought about it for the rest of concert I started crying again.

After she was done at the second B stage, she took the snake skeleton thing back to main stage and I swear we made eye contact when she went past me while singing Bad Blood. And then during Getaway Car, she was on our side of the stage again. And again people around me weren’t really going crazy for the song so I started jumping up and down and waving at her and SHE POINTED RIGHT AT ME HI TAYLOR I LOVE GETAWAY CAR...AND YOU.

Where did the piano acoustic set fit in this? It was somewhere and it was amazing and there was more crying from me I looked like a raccoon. Waterproof my ass, Tarte. Um so Long Live has always been special to me ever since I heard her sing it during the Speak Now tour (the night we first made eye contact, it was during Love Story) and I LOVE New Year’s Day so holy this mashup can I own it? Taylor release a tour album I want all of the mashups from this show. But she pauses toward the end of the song for whatever reason and we all went nuts again and she did THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST LITTLE EXCITED DANCE SHE WAS SO HAPPY I CAN’T STAND IT. WE DID THAT. WE CAUSED HER HAPPINESS I’M CRYING AGAIN HELP.

I was in between two different confetti canons for Call It What You Want and I’ve never sat close enough at a Taylor show before to be showered in confetti so it was magical to have it swirling all around me I caught so many I couldn’t stop smiling.

I started crying again during her finale cause I knew it was the last song and it was about to be over. Her and the dancers playing in that fountain though it looked so fun I wanted to join them. hahaha

I seriously can’t believe I get to experience it all over again three more times at Gillette. The only thing that could make the show even better, would be to finally get my Taylor hug at one but idk if that will ever happen, so many of us want that opportunity. I’ll just continue to dance my ass off and sing and cry from the crowd. Still makes for an epic night.

xoxo,

Emily
