Together | Shawn Mendes Oneshot

Summary: (This is a sequel to Messy) You’re Shawn’s PA (personal assistant) and both of you have admitted your feelings but now it’s time to tie up loose ends before you can go all in with Shawn, and what happens when the team finds out about the two of you?

Warnings: swearing, break-up (non shawn)

Word Count: 3k

| Masterlist |

It’s been a week since you’ve answered your phone calls and texts from Max. You know he deserves to know what’s going on with you and Shawn. You know he deserves closure and an explanation, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it. There is no way of doing it where you don’t look like an asshole but you had accepted that part. It was the whole hurting someone part of it that you was stopping you from talking to him.

Your phone lights up and Max’s picture pops up on the screen. He’s trying to facetime and you look over at Shawn and Scott sitting at the soundboard. You could easily slip out without them noticing probably. You were going to have to talk to Max and doing it face to face would be better than breaking up over text. Getting up, you squeeze past Shawn and Scott from behind and just as you reach the door, Shawn’s hand catches your shirt.

“Where ya goin’?” he asks, eyebrows raised, eye on the phone in your hands.

“To take care of some business. I’ll be right back.”

Shawn releases your shirt and blows you a little kiss followed by a cheesy wink. You roll your eyes and slip out of the door while they go back to work. There is an empty office a few doors down from the room you were in and you step in. You don’t bother to close the door because there wasn’t anyone in the studio besides you, Shawn and Scott right now. Everyone had gone for lunch.

The phone rings again and you look at it. Taking a seat at a table in the room you slide to answer. Nerves make you feel sick, bile rising in your throat. Max appears on screen and you have to look away. Neither of your greet each other. It’s just awkward silence as you stare at each other through tiny screens thousands of miles away from each other.

“So this is how it is then?” Max asks after what felt like an eternity. “Do you know how I had to find out?”

“Find out what?” you snap and immediately close your eyes. Now was not the time to be defensive. You told yourself you were going to handle this calmly and give him closure.

Max raises his eyebrows and chuckles sarcastically. “How I found out Shawn fucking Mendes was fucking my girlfriend. My now ex girlfriend.”

“We haven’t slept together so I dont know what-”

“Maybe you should check social media,” Max hisses and you glare at him. “I don’t know how, but some fans got pictures of the two of you in bed together. I’m surprised you haven’t been talked to by his managers yet. It’s spreading like wildfire.”

You swallow thickly as you start to tremble. Someone had taken pictures of the two of you? How was that possible? You’d only been in LA for a couple days now. “Max, Shawn and I have only slept together. As in sleeping not fucking.”

“Yeah? And how long has that been going on?”

“Since tour began, but it was never sexual and we both promised to-”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Max snarls and you look toward the window across the room. “You’ve been that friendly with that kid for almost a fucking year? God if I’d know you were so easy I never would have started dating you.”

Your voice is broken as you speak. “Max, it’s not like that.” Tears form in your eyes and you were feeling like an asshole but Max was being unnecessarily rude as well. Sleeping with Shawn really did look bad on your part but how were you going to deny him? Shawn needed you. Sure it wasn’t in your contract to give him that sort of assistance but it was just easier than seeing him sleep deprived or reliant on a sleep aid. That shit can fuck someone up over time. The worst way you’d seen Shawn get himself to sleep was getting so drunk he passed out. Sure it worked but the hangover after was a bitch. It was just easier that he slept with you.

“I figured this would happen.” Max says quietly. “Don’t worry about it. Shawn’s a far better choice for anyone.”

“Max don’t start that. This isn’t about you not being good enough. It’s about me not feeling the same way for you anymore.This is on me. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Max scoff and rolls his eyes. “Whatever. I just don’t care. Have a good life fucking your boss.” WIth that Max hangs up and your screen closes to the background picture you have saved of Shawn laying on your lap, looking up at you with a grin.

“Have a good life fucking your boss? Wow, that’s a dick thing to say.”

You turn around and see Shawn leaning against one shoulder in the doorway. He looks at you softly, knowing you were torn up inside and you break into tears. He opens his arms and says, “C’mere” and you walk over to him. You tuck your face against his chest and let out a pitiful sob. The guilt and the hurt was crushing. It would take time but you would heal and you knew Shawn was the right choice. You wish you’d never decided to try and keep dating Max. You wish you had just broken up with him before you went on tour with Shawn like you planned, but you couldn’t go back in time.

Shawn walks you back into the recording room and Scott gets the hint as you walk in sniffling. He steps out and closes the door behind him. Shawn sits you down on the little loveseat behind the chairs at the soundboard and you sink into the cushions. “Talk to me.”

“I fucked up. I shouldn’t have ever started letting you sleep in my bed. I should have never kept dating Max. I should have never taken this job.”

“Oh babe,” Shawn mumbles as he reaches for your face. He cups your cheeks and wipes tears away with his thumbs. “You didn’t fuck up, you just learned a hard lesson. The right choices aren’t always going to be the easiest ones, sometimes you have to learn as you go and take the hard road to get to where you need to be.” You nod and sniffle, eyes cast down at Shawn’s lap. “Are you happy when you’re with me? Do you like when I sleep with you?”

“Yeah, I love sleeping with you.” You reach up and rub your eyes and Shawn slides his hands to your shoulders so he can pull you closer into a hug. “I’m very happy when I’m with you, I know you’re the one I want,” you mumble into his shoulder as he rubs up and down your back.

“Then that’s what matters.”

Shortly after you left the studio with Shawn, Andrew called. Apparently Max hadn’t been lying about some photos circulating of Shawn in bed with you. They were from Jamaica and you’re pretty sure it was from one of the last days you spent there because in the photo you can see you’re wearing Shawn’s kombucha shirt and that was the only time you had worn it. It made you feel sick, the fact that someone had gotten into the resort to get the pictures, clearly from a distance and zoomed in, but pictures nonetheless. Just the thought of your privacy being invaded like that...it was uncomfortable.

Of course since those photos had been released Andrew was having to work to cover it up and smooth things over. Shawn Mendes sleeping with his personal assistant? Scandalous and harmful to his good boy image. Not that Shawn wasn’t a good boy, he was...to an extent. You’d witnessed, and experienced, otherwise. But Andrew had a job to do and so a day later you were sat down with him and Shawn and talked to.

The solution reached was that you would go back home and assist with scheduling from there and Shawn would remain in LA to finish recording and finalizing the album. There would be a month between the time you left and Shawn would return home to Toronto for the whole scandal to blow over. A whole month where Shawn would have to do everything he could to get to sleep. A whole damn month without Shawn. It made your heart ache.

Three days later you were at the airport with your bags and Shawn nowhere in sight. Geoff had dropped you off and helped you to your gate before leaving. He wasn’t happy with the arrangement either. The two of you had become like brother and sister over the last year. To suddenly have you removed was upsetting more than just you and Shawn. Within an hour you were on the plane and on your way back to your apartment just outside New York City.

Shawn texted you the moment you landed. He had used one of those flight tracking apps to find out when you touched down. All he sent was “call me”. You get off the plane and head to baggage to pick up your stuff and on your way you press the call button and bring the phone to your ear. Two rings and Shawn picks up.

“I hate this,” he says in a whisper and you know he must be somewhere he can’t talk too loud. “I don’t know why it’s such a big deal.”

“It just is, Shawn. I told you this would be messy.”

“Messy? This isn’t messy it’s just cruel. Andrew didn’t need to send you to the other side of the country. How am I supposed to sleep? What am I supposed to do without you?”

You stop at the claim carousel belts and stand there as some bags start rolling through. “We can facetime when ever you want. I probably won’t be going out much anyway. I’ll talk to you every night.”

“You better. I swear I’m going to do everything I can to get home faster.”

“Don’t rush the album. I’ll always be there for you when you get home, the album is so much more important and you can’t change it once it is released. Don’t rush it or I’ll kick your ass.”

Shawn scoffs. “You? Kick my ass?”

“Shawn Pe-”

“No! No don’t you say my name like that.”

“PeterRaulMendes,” you say quickly and Shawn yells in anguish. You grab your bags and start crossing the airport to the cab lanes outside. “I gotta go bud. I’ll call you at bedtime okay?”

“Okay. I’ll talk to you then. Text me?”

“Of course.”

The days get harder without Shawn there. You go to bed cold and alone. You wake up cold and alone. Never did you realize how much you needed Shawn. Never did you know just how much you would miss him until he was taken away from you. The first two nights you laid awake, mind racing, bed feeling too empty. Both nights you reached over for your phone and call Shawn, knowing he would always answer for you. You would lay there with him on facetime, phone propped up against the pillow until both of you fell asleep. You were always tired, always heart sick whenever you did the smallest things that reminded you of him during the day. The first week was the worst.

The second week was okay. Both of you had adjusted to the nightly facetimes that turned into morning facetimes. Calling was frequent, texting almost every couple of minutes it seemed. You snapped him all the time and he would snap back goofy faces. The second week was far easier.

Third week was hell. It was at the point where there was only one more week until he was home and it was so close yet still so far away. Shawn was getting antsy, telling you how much he missed you every couple of texts. Even Geoff had texted and told you that Shawn was climbing up the walls he missed you so badly. He said he was distracted, often distant. The album was nearly finished, only a few more things to wrap up with the label and a photoshoot next week for promotional and cover art.

The fourth week finally arrived. Shawn was due home Friday evening and you would be damned if you weren’t at his place the moment he arrived. So you dug around in your bag to find the little set of keys Shawn gave you ages ago. There was one for his apartment and one for his storage unit a few blocks from his building. There was also a little fob with his building’s door code and the parking garage code on it.

On Wednesday you pack a bag and drive up to Toronto. It’s a couple hours but that was no problem for you. Once you arrived you parked in the parking garage and went up to his condo. The place was gorgeous, decent sized and spacious. It was cozy and warm while still being very modern and sleek. You had only been to Shawn’s place a couple of times and usually it was nothing more than just waiting in the kitchen or the living room for him to get ready.

You carry your bag as you walk down the short hall to the last door and push it open to reveal Shawn’s bedroom. It’s not really more than you expected. The big king size bed is a mess and pushed into the corner, clothes strewn about around a hamper. There was a bedside table that matched his bed frame and it had all the essentials on it; lamp, tissues, deodorant, lotion and chargers hanging from the corner of the small drawer. His closet was standing open, a couple guitar cases propped up inside with some clothes on hangers and shoes littering the floor.

You sigh and shake your head, tossing your bag on his bed. He literally left for a world tour and left his bedroom a damn mess. He had been home a couple times but god, he was such a messy boy. It didn’t surprise you much because you had been on tour with him for months and you knew his habits. He wasn’t always messy, but he wasn’t captain organization either. First things first. Laundry.

After cleaning his room and making the bed you settle down on the couch and turn the tv on to see what movies were playing when your phone rings. It’s Shawn and you bite your lip, staring at the screen and debating on answering the facetime or not. If you picked up and he saw that you were in his apartment than the surprise would be ruined when he came home. You slide to decline and opt to text him instead.

A few hours later and you were curled up in Shawn’s bed in your pajamas. Now you think you could probably get away with facetime because the room was dark. All he could see was your face in the phone’s light. You call him up and he’s not in bed yet, but he was three hours behind you in time. The two of you talk for a little while and when you start to drift off he wakes you up and says he will see you soon and that he misses you. He blows a little kiss to the screen and you giggle before hanging up.

The sound of rain wakes you up and you wrap your arms around the pillow in front of you. It smells like Shawn and you pull it closer. Well. You try to but it doesn’t budge. In fact it was really abnormally warm. You sit up and the blanket falls to your waist. Petting along the ‘pillow’ you realize it’s no pillow. It’s a warm body.

Quickly you turn and reach over and scramble to get the bedside lamp on to flood the room with soft light. The first thing you’re met with is a mess of curls when you turn to see who was in the bed. It’s Shawn, still in his tee shirt and jeans, curled up on the bed beside you. Reaching over, you shake his shoulder and he rolls on to his back and his mouth falls open.

“Shawn what are you doing here?!” You pat his chest and he doesn’t wake up. You go for his face, patting at his cheek until his eyes open and he looks up at you. “Why didn’t you wake me up? When did you get home?”

“Mmm, what time is it?” You shrug and he shakes his head. “Honey I’m home,” he sings playfully, smiling sleepily as he grabs your hand rested on his chest, tangling his fingers with yours.

Tears fall down your cheeks and you don’t even know why you’re crying, you suppose its because you’re so happy. You lay down and he pulls you on top of him. “I missed you so much,” you cry, body shaking gently, the tears coming freely now. “I know it was only a month and we aren’t really a couple yet or anything but I got so used to you and I-”

Shawn noses along your neck to your ear and shushes you softly. “I feel the same. I felt so empty, so incomplete without you.” He puts his arms around you and hugs you tight to his chest. “I think I'm falling for you.”

“I think I'm falling for you too.”

Episode #4/5: “I'm just lying and making a big deal about things because it is funny”- Bodhi

Bodhi

I don't know what is even happening I'm just lying and making a big deal about things because it is funny

Roxy

Im aolot inactive. Lmfoa

the serious confessioanl didnt uplod :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NesmOdGOnX4

Lol thibis eric's org

Trixie

If all goes as planned, Shea is gone! We purposely threw the comp to get you out. I just wanna say it's nothing against you as a person, I would have loved to work with you but we all felt you were going to be a problem later on so we had to send you home now.

I feel really bad that I had to vote Zack out especially with him being a newbie. I also feel awful not letting Roxy in on our alliance. Hopefully with merge she can join us. She really doesn't deserve to get voted off so soon.

So we threw the comp yet again and it worked - Zack is out. I would have liked to work with him but I knew he'd be a vote for the other side once we merged. Nehe's voting confessional for him was BRUTAL. It makes me scared if I ever got a vote from him. We had yet another tribe swap, back to 3 teams again. I travelled through tribes and landed on Skua with basically all my alliance minus Austin. I hope he manages to stay safe so when merge comes we can reunite as the Outsiders.

I wonder who Adelie is gonna send home, huh?

QuilLynn

I feel bad blindsiding shea tonight, i genuinely like him and would have liked to work with him. I think the tribe swap fucked him over a bit because he picked people who were already closley aligned (like nehe+trixie, austin+zack) for me right now the safe and smart thing to do is take out shea. I do want austin gone soon though, because once we merge he'll be a huge threat because he has connections on both sides.

so that immunity was a mess. The day started out good, tribal went as planned and we got out shea and going into the new immunity we thought we stood a chance and were genuinely going to try to win, however, knowing that bodhi and kelsey are probably on the bottom of that tribe and would be possible numbers for our alliance come merge we decided to throw it and take out Zack who we believe to be a number for skua. Austin has it out for jay it seems and is looking to take out his numbers and I think he actually thinks he's running things and making the decisions. Thats fine he can think whatever he wants, but it was trixie and I who made the Shea blindside happen and saved his ass. We OMG INSTANT TRIBAL BRB

This instant might come back to bite me in the ass rip, its messy and people still haven't voted and I think austin thinks i'm voting him

I think roxy is really buying my "innocent newcomer" act right now that i'm using to cover my ass for this zack vote. I'm hoping i can get out of this still with the trust of all my tribe members. If i had to pick one to go next it would be Ali, because that rat went to austin saying I voted him... We'll see what the future holds

This new skua tribe is the perfect stiuation! I have trixie who is my #1 in this game, nehe who i'm closely aligned with and roxy who thinks were together 100%. I really want to win these upcomong challenges because I feel like there will only be one or two votes before we merge and I want all four of us on this new new skua to make it! It would break my heart to vote roxy at this point as we already blindsided her twice at tribals and she still trusts us, so i'm really hoping it doesn't come down to that. I'm also hoping for another clue, since i have one from skua before I think getting a second clue would really help my chances of finding one of these fucking idols!

Once again my team won, I mean so far this whole game I've only been on a losing team if we threw the challenge. I know i'm going to look like a threat come merge but i'm kinda looking forward to it. I'm hoping I can still use my innocent newbie "idk what i'm doing" act to get people to trust me, but I know eventually they'll want to take me out. I feel after this challenge our "outsiders" alliance from albatross will be over. Austin only got 10 points in the challenge so odds are he'll be taken out next, and if he's not then I'd take that as a sign that he joined the other side and if thats the case we'll have no use for him. Part of me is hoping that adelie takes him out tonight that way we don't have to do the dirty work later, but unfortunately I think that comes with the price of losing a jury vote.

also, nehe is really pissing me off. If we lose the next immunity idgaf about the alliance at this point I like roxy more right now and I'd send his ass home.

The tribe chat is fun and all but... Roxy, girl. Sometimes it's a bit much. Jokes and sarcasm just flies over her little aussie head. God bless.

Jacob

Austin be throwin'? I played the challenge for less than an hour and I still got a better score. I hope he doesn't have an idol.

Shea

Aint shit

Austin

Rig-gate is real huh

Lily

honestly i dont even know whats going on right now. we swapped? thats cool. we're not going to tribal? rad. honestly like if i got voted out next round i dont know if i'd care that much this premerge is just so chill for whatever reason its like my natural habitat

Andrew

I think Ali is a robot. Also lily and I are lookin for an idol™

Ali

I need to merge next I don't trust these hoes

Kelsey

My goodness...after that disaster of a video challenge, I was truly blessed to stay. I had never really had the opportunity to connect with anyone and Regan basically eliminating herself was...luck, dear, it was luck XD But then a scadulous tribe swap happens and I'm even LUCKIER!!! With a tribe of four, I feel like we totally could just slay the house down and all four people are people I'm able to bond with over something quickly. Jay was super on the Regan boat and knows that I'm not the best with speaking with people, as was the other snake picture. And Austin says he's rather close to Jay, so I'm feeling rather good if we go to tribal, not that we wi- oh, we already lost, ok. Austin says he would love to work with Jacob and I and to eliminate Jay, which doesn't sound the most predictable, but at this point in the competition, I've never made it to the top thirteen and I usually mess it up for myself when get too involved with voting and being gung ho. This time, maybe I can just take a deep breath and survive past another one...apparently, there is this "plan" to convince Austin that I'm going home which makes the pit in my stomach advance even further but...it can't be helped. I could be making top TWELVE. TWELVE!!!! I've got to just take a deep breath, close my eyes, and jump off the bridge. Let's hope I land in foam~! And THAT'S all there is to it! Bon Apetit, beh-bay~ Kelsey Mikaelson

Zack

I have had Nehe and Austin approach me for a solid three. However, I have also been approached with a solid three person alliance with Trixie and Quillyn. If I can get this group to final five, I think I would be sitting pretty. Unfortunately, that means I have to turn on my alliance I've had from day one with Shea, Roxy, and Ali. But Ali and I have talked and he's going to jump ship with me.

So, I've had Ali, Austin, and Nehe all trying to subtly convince me to trust the others of the three. It quickly became apparent that they're all working together, or at the very least, Austin has them both wrapped around his finger. Austin also mentioned Bodhi and Jay being numbers for him on the other side. Having everyone on my tribe trust me, I realize that this is my opportune moment to make a game-changing move and flipping the vote on Austin. I convinced Trixie and Quillynn (who have offered me an alliance for the time being) that if we want to succeed at all, we need to split up these three. More specifically, take Austin out because he seems to be the main tie for all of these people. Take out the kingpin, the rest will scatter. With Roxy still trusting me over everyone else, we should have just enough votes to take Austin out. I don't like sitting around, doing what I'm told, and waiting to be taken out in the final six. So sorry, Austin. I really hope you're out this week.

Jay

Regan is going to straight up murder me for voting her out, but sorry. You blew up on Kelsey, you're going home. Sorry not sorry. Also you're just gonna vote with Austin every vote and we can't have him having more power than me :)

Hey guys! This might be my last confessional in this game. So, Austin says he has an idol and that he's playing it. So like, I decided that I'm just gonna go for voting him. The thing is, if me, Jacob, and Kelsey stick strong, and he plays an idol, one of us go. HOWEVER, provided it's not me, whoever is left from Kelsey and Jacob is still trusting of me. Which would not be the case if i threw a vote onto Kelsey and Jacob left. Tribal is starting now. Good luck to me I hope things go well.

Nicholas

hi so im trying to win this paintball challenge so my ass doesnt get voted off. i feel like for the first time ever in a survivor game i dont fit in with my tribe and like they are going to cut me the first chance they get. oh well i guess we will see what happens. its time to shoot some bitches

Nehemiah

So now i'm on the albatross tribe and you can say that I'm on the bottom but actually theres people on the tribe I trust. Trixie and Ali are instant ride or die homies in my opinion and so is Austin. After I helped us win the lip sync with my amazing talent Trixie and Quillyn wants to have an alliance with me and Austin as we are the outside forces I am 100% fine with this. But Ali isnt with the other side he's with me and Austin. So this is also good if we go to a tribal. So i'm set up pretty nicely.

We have decided to throw the challenge to get out Shea. I personally have no connection to shea in the form that I didn't care if we threw the challenge. The outsiders alliance of me, QuilLyn, Trixie, and Austin is definitely off to a good start. We got shea to vote Austin and Ali is on board to vote Shea. I'm in a good spot when it comes to everything. I don't know how I'm going to fare going forward in the game but I do think I'm in a very good spot and I know how to speak to people. Zack was doing the challenge all by himself. We tried to throw it and he just wouldn't but to be fair he didn't know. So i had to talk him into throwing and getting out Shea leading on the idea that if he does so Austin and me would work with him. Everything should be good tonight.

The outsiders threw yet another tribal so we can get out Zack.

After our tribal of blindsiding Zack there was in our guts either a tribe swap or merge. As you can see it was a tribe swap and ironically I ended up on a tribe with my 2 fellow Outsiders and Roxy. I lied to Roxy the previous vote but I don't wanna loose that relationship just yet. There's a good chance my new tribe can win immunity and not have to vote off Roxy but if such things happen we are 3-1 and we have the ammunition to take aim. I only fear for out other votes that we need secure which that is being Bodhi, Ali, Kelsey, and Austin. I need all 4 of them to stay safe but I have a smart feeling that ain't gonna happen. But I still stand on what I said last time in that I'm in a good spot and I don't have to do much bullshit or manipulating just yet. I showed I can be sneaky as well as cutthroat when I need to be but I'm good for now.
