“Josiah you don’t wanna play with mommy and daddy no more?” You asked your 4 year old. “No mama i play with car.” He answered turning back towards his toy cars. 
“I guess it’s just us babe.” Connor laughs
“Yeah i guess it is Brashier.” You say before tossing the foam football back to Connor. 
You admired these small moments with your little family. 
You met Connor when you were both fourteen, both immediately hitting it off having a crazy crush on the other.
But if someone told you back then that in six years you would be happily married with a 4 year old you wouldn’t have believed them. 
You had gotten pregnant with Josiah at seventeen. Both you and Connor kept it a secret from friends and family for a long time before your pregnant belly started showing. 
Both relived when you had nothing but support from both families. 
You were snapped away from your thoughts when the ball hit you right on the eye immediately gasping in pain when the ball poked you in the eyeball. 
“Shit i’m sorry baby you good?” Connor asked rushing towards you placing his hand on your wrist that was covering your eye. 
You were about to answer before you interrupted by josiah who ran over massaging his small hands on your shoulder “Ohh mama what’s wrong?” he asked. 
“I’m okay bub daddy just hit me with the ball on accident.” You smiled.
You didn’t know what he was about to do when he walked over to Connor but when he smacked him on the shoulder you were shocked.
“Don’t hit mama bad daddy!” he scolded Connor. 
“I know Siah it was an accident i promise!” Connor yelled holding his shoulder as if the little smack from his son did any damage.
“Kiss mommy she hurt.” Josiah said grabbing his dad’s face between his palms facing him towards you. 
You met Connor half way as he kissed you. 
“Don’t hit mommy with ball again okay daddy?” Josiah said placing a kiss on both of your and Connor’s cheek. 
“I won’t i’ll be more careful.” Connor laughed.
Josiah walked back to his toys playing.
“He’s such a Mommy’s boy.” Connor whispered before wrapping his arms around your waist pulling you closer. 
“I know but when we have a girl she’s definitely gonna be a daddy’s girl.” You smiled.
“Can we try for a girl tonight?” Connor asked as he placed kisses onto your neck. 
“We certainly will be.” You answered.

The Connor Situation l Shawn Mendes Imagine.
(a/n): this is super different from what I've written before and it’s kinda long (3k+ words!)
summary: Shawn is Camila’s boyfriend, (y/n) is Connor’s girlfriend, but they’re drawn to each other.
warning: mentions of drugs, sex and cheating.
Tumblr media
A faint smell of weed lingered on the luxury Malibu house Shawn rented to celebrate the end of the tour. 
Shawn wanted to spend time with the closer part of his team without the urge of moving from city to city and putting on a concert every night. Of course, no one from Shawn’s inner circle wanted to spend more time apart from their loved ones, so the house was big enough to host at least fifteen people. 
You had met Connor back in high school, where he easily was one of the most popular kids because of his work with famous people and undeniable talent, so it was a surprise when he asked you out and everything went on from there. Of course, after he was admitted into UCLA it wasn’t expected that he’d take a break to tour the world with none other than Shawn Mendes.
You couldn’t deny it had been hard, especially after Shawn hired him for the entire tour and not just a part of it. You made it work, somehow.
Shawn, on the other hand, had been in love with Camila for ages before he mustered the courage to put a name on their relationship and go public, driving people around the world crazy, for better or for worse. 
You carefully removed the covers from the bed, wanting to get something to eat since it was 9 AM already, but an arm draped over your waist prevented you from moving. 
“Where are you going?” Asked the sleepy voice of your blue eyed boyfriend. 
“To grab something to eat, do you want me to bring you something?” You whispered, not wanting to disturb his post sleep haze.
“Mm’no, I just want you on my bed.” He tried something that resembled an adorable pout, making you laugh. 
“I’ll be back, don’t miss me too much.” You left a kiss on his messy hair before grabbing your silk robe that was thrown on the floor. 
“You’re leaving under protest.” You heard Connor mutter before he went back to sleep, his soft snores flooding the room. 
You carefully made your way to the kitchen, not wanting to wake anyone up. Everything was quiet until a tall figure leaning on the kitchen counter almost gave you a heart attack.
The person chuckled. “Good morning, I wish I had known I have that effect on you.” Shawn joked while sipping on his green tea. 
“I didn’t think you’d be here, everybody else is asleep and I think I just died of a heart attack.” You dramatized, making Shawn’s eyes crinkle. 
He was going to add something when a faint moan and the sound of a bed crashing softly against the wall, as if they had put a pillow on the corner to muffle the sound, flooded the house. You noticed a shudder run through Shawn’s body, but you didn’t know if it was because he was disgusted or turned on. “Well, at least someone’s having fun.” Shawn said with his eyebrows raised. 
“My oh my, should we put a ‘no sex in the house’ warning?” A female voice entered the kitchen before you could respond. Camila had her hair tied on a messy ponytail and her outfit matched yours. “Hey baby, figured you’d be here.” She kissed Shawn’s shoulder. 
“Yeah, I got hungry. I think there must be leftover jet lag on my body.” 
Camila just then noticed your presence, and you didn’t blame her; you wouldn’t pay attention to anyone if Shawn was your man. “(y/n)! I’m so sorry I didn’t see you, guess I'm still sleeping,” She chuckled. “Is Connor still asleep?” 
You nodded while taking a sip of water. “Yeah, he was snoring when I left the room.” 
Just then, Connor’s voice could be heard from your room screaming “SHUT UP!”. Immediately after, the soft moaning and bed crashing stopped. 
The three of you stared at each other before exploding in a fit of laughter. You couldn’t breathe, especially when Shawn placed a hand on your naked leg as he couldn’t contain his laughter. 
Shawn was an attractive man, there was no denying that fact. He was desired by millions around the world, but what made him the most endearing was his personality; his timid yet extremely cheeky and mischievous demeanor was what made him a good catch and almost irresistible. 
That didn’t make him better than Connor, though. 
But it still didn’t make sense why his warm hand left a tingling feeling on your leg after he removed it, only to continue laughing along his girlfriend. 
“I think I should go check on Connor, I’m not sure he took this morning sex thing very well.” You joked. 
“I don’t think he’s unfamiliar with morning sexual activities, he loved calling you early to start the day.” Shawn said with a suggestive tone, looking for your eyes. 
“I think I'm just gonna walk away now.” You narrowed your eyes playfully before walking away with your glass of water. 
The image you found in front of you was equally funny and adorable. 
A shirtless Connor was pouting with a pillow covering his ears, but you could still make up strands of his messy blond hair. 
“You love making a scene, don’t you?” You put the glass of water on the night table before sitting on Connor’s legs. 
Your boyfriend placed the pillow under his head to have a better position to admire you. He placed his hands on your waist while still pouting. “I swear to God it’s Brian and that Portuguese girl he sexted during the entire tour.” 
You giggled. “You should be happy your friend is getting laid!” 
“He can get laid quietly if he’s sharing a room. I swear during tour everyone got laid and I could hear them all, I didn’t think I'll have to relive my nightmares during our relax time.” He slowly moved his hands from your waist to your hips. 
You carefully climbed from his legs to his lap so that his hands could reach your body more easily. “Are you mad because you didn’t get any during tour?” You leaned in to peck his lips. Connor nodded, still pouting. “You’re just a big baby, I did visit you during tour and, if I recall correctly, had sex.”
“It was not the same!” He protested. “And we had sex yesterday, but were careful to be quiet because Shawn stayed on his room while everyone went to the beach.
It was impossible to keep a straight face when your boyfriend was basically a big baby, so you opted for the easy way out; you carefully reached for his hair before kissing him. A low moan erupted from his throat before quickly and eagerly responding your action, transforming a sweet kiss to a passionate one as his hands wandered lower on your body.
Just as you noticed Connor’s hands trying to untie your robe, the door opened abruptly, making the both of you jump. 
Brian didn’t notice your position at first. “Dude, you fucked my... Fuck! How dare you call me out when you’re fucking with (y/n) as well!” 
Brian’s loud voice gathered some unwanted attention, especially Shawn’s that couldn’t help it but walk towards your room. 
“Fuck, man. Don’t you knock?” Connor let out a deep breath while running his hands on his har, as you hid yourself under the blankets deciding whether this was funny or mortifying. 
Brian left the room while quietly cursing your and Connor’s name, but Shawn stayed there, quietly eyeing the situation. 
When you resurfaced from under the covers, you noticed his hazel orbs on your opened robe. 
No, your mind was just playing games with you.
-
The incident had taken place two days ago and there wasn’t a person in the house that hadn’t made fun of you, but especially Brian, since he had actually been heard by everyone. 
The weather was warm, perfect for a day on the fancy lagoon pool on the backyard.
Everyone tried to make a dish for lunch, but it ended up being a disaster since no one really thought there would be no space in the kitchen, but it was part of the fun. 
Connor couldn’t help but bring his camera to never forget a moment of the incredible time you were having. You were lying on your stomach with your your swimsuit, not caring about anything until you noticed a pair of prying eyes on your figure. Shawn was sipping on a cold beer while talking to Josiah and Andrew, but his playful gaze couldn’t help himself. 
You quickly turned around, knowing his girlfriend had just dived into the pool while joking with Dave and his wife. Meanwhile, your boyfriend was teasing Zubin as he zoomed on his mouth while he ate. 
Suddenly, your body felt warm, too warm. You made eye contact with Connor, who looked at you worriedly as you made your way inside the house, but you made a kissing face at him to make him laugh. 
The kitchen had become your favorite place on the house, especially because the sound of the waves crashing was calming and made the mess on your mind seem less important. 
Shawn had always been flirtatious, it was part of your nature, so the whole freaking out act from your part was pure nonsense, but that wasn’t the reason why your mind was spinning.
No, it was because the love of your life was right outside looking out for you. The man of your dreams, Connor Brashier knew you like the palm of his hand and so did you. This whole infatuation with Shawn was because he was a world famous singer, not because you actually wanted something with him, because you knew he could never amount to the man who owned your heart. 
Still, you jumped when his hand made contact with your naked skin, again. 
“Hi Shawn, did you need anything?” You asked him in a fake, high pitched voice to mask your nervousness.
“You know I have a girlfriend, right?” He asked out of nowhere, making you almost choke.
“Yes, you know I have a boyfriend, right?” You retaliated, making Shawn chuckle. 
“Oh, trust me, you don’t let me forget that.” He shook his head. You couldn’t bare to look him in the eye so opted to focus on the swallow tattoo on his hand. 
A surge of courage ran through your veins as you mustered the courage to face Shawn. “Is it all in my head or have you been checking me out since we arrived?” 
Shawn chuckled nonchalantly, which you couldn’t decide if it was annoying or incredibly charming. “Oh, it’s been way longer than these couple of days,” His confession took you off guard, you were about to ask him what was going on in his mind but he continued. “This is not a confession about loving you, I wish I never laid my eyes on you. But I can’t help this fire that you ignite inside me.” 
You were taken aback as your body trembled with desire at his low voice and confession. “What about Camila? What about Connor?!”
“I love them both, that doesn’t mean I can’t want you.”
“Am I supposed to jump your bones now because I want to sleep with you? Have a one night stand and betray Connor?” 
Your tone threw Shawn off since it was tainted with hostility. “I’m not expecting you to sleep with me, I was answering your question.”
You turned around, not being able to look at Shawn anymore. Your breathing was picking up and you knew he had taken a step closer to you. “Stop with the touches, with the glances, respect your girlfriend and your friend.”
“Likewise.” Shawn hit back. 
“I’m not the one making suggestive comments or ogling you like a piece of meat!”
“Don’t play victim! You can cut the tension with a fucking knife so get off your high horse.” 
Both of your breathings had picked up, your eyes closed and didn’t realize you had taken two steps forward. 
You were standing so close to Shawn you could feel his breathing, but if you paid enough attention the voice of everyone in the backyard could be heard as well.
His head moved around, taunting your lips that were close enough to touch, but neither of you made the move. Your hands carefully found their home on his damp curls as his warm skin met yours. 
You knew you were too wet to resist him, but in that right moment you heard footsteps, indicating someone was on their way to the kitchen. Swiftly, you pushed Shawn and turned on the tap to throw some cold water on your face, trying to calm your breathing and hold back the tears that were threatening to spill. 
The person you least wanted to see appeared on the kitchen. Connor was standing with a worried look on his face, especially when he noticed the distressed state you were in. 
“Babe, are you okay? You have me worried.” Connor walked towards you and tenderly placed his palm on your cheek.
You faked a smile before answering. “Yes, honey. I woke up a bit dizzy, but everything’s okay now.” 
Shawn cleared his throat. “Yeah, she was a little pale when I found her, but she seems fine now.” His eyes were fixated on yours. 
“You wanna go lay down?” Connor asked fixing your hair, placing it behind your ears. 
You wanted deny his suggestion, but you didn’t have it in you to see facing Shawn and see Camila. “Yeah, I think it’d be best.”
Connor lovingly kissed your forehead. “Let’s go, we can catch up with Modern Family.”
“You don’t have to, you should be having fun with your friends.”
“I’ve seen them for months, I just want to be with you.”
You didn’t notice when Shawn left the kitchen. 
-
It was the last day on the Malibu house and the end of the trip couldn’t come soon enough. It was the last night before going home, since Shawn and Camila would be headed to Toronto while you and Connor stayed in California since both of you wanted to spend time with your families and had to get back to school.
Connor couldn’t help but notice something was off with you and it was easy to tell he wasn’t buying the whole “I'm not feeling good” bullshit. But it didn’t matter anymore, because chances were you would never see Shawn again, you wouldn’t cross paths with him or Camila, and you’d be able to focus on Connor, love him, cherish him and get rid of the guilt pooling your gut every time you saw him smiling at you. 
Everyone headed to the bonfire on the private beach of the house, but it was the last place where you wanted to be. 
Excusing yourself saying you were cold, you left a kiss on Connor’s hair before heading back inside. 
It took Shawn ten minutes to excuse himself saying the big lunch had taken a toll on him. 
It took him seconds to find you on the kitchen, quietly admiring the dark night. 
And you didn’t process when his arms were around your waist, turning you around to face him. 
This time you didn’t jump when his cold hand made contact with the inside of your thigh.
He didn’t hesitate to make you jump and walk you to the room he shared with his girlfriend. 
There wasn’t time or intention for soft touches or sweet kisses to build the atmosphere. No, the atmosphere had been building for days and you didn’t want to give your mind any second to doubt your actions when you knew your boyfriend was right outside laughing with his friends, not knowing he was being betrayed by two of the most important people on his life. 
A moan ripped trough Shawn’s throat as his tip made contact with your warmth. You didn’t waste anytime in start moving on top of him, placing your hands on his firm torso as he aided your movements. 
Shawn tried his best to not make any sounds, all the noises wanting to escape his mouth were muffled by your hand and yours were being trapped by your own teeth biting on your lower lip so hard you could taste the blood. 
The bliss was ethereal and both you and Shawn were sure you were able to touch the galaxy with your fingertips as an unremarkable high took over your sweaty bodies. Your body collapsed on top of his, both of your breathings were rapid and uneven. It took a minute for your mind to start spinning and realizing what had happened, but it wasn't enough to keep relishing the spasms still washing over your bodies. 
It took a few minutes for your legs to regain its function and that was the moment you stood up and without sparing a second glance to the person lying on the bed with a fucked look, both mentally and physically. Your body hastily removed itself from the comfort of the bed, completely ignoring the female clothing scattered on the floor and the open suitcase. 
You grabbed the first thing you saw in order to cover your naked body, but you didn’t realize it was a black Champion hoodie, impregnated with Gucci’s easily recognizable Made to Measure fragrance, otherwise known as Shawn’s smell that was known by everybody who had contact with him. 
He didn’t ask any questions, he just watched you leave the room and close the door. 
You knew the tears were coming because your vision became blurry, only reaching your room out of habit. But you didn’t expect the sight in front of you. 
Connor was sitting on the edge of the bed, somber look decorating his soft features and the puzzle he had been trying to deny and convince himself was on his head, made sense. All the weird behavior and awkward encounters clicked. 
And he didn’t need to look at the black hoodie to know it didn’t belong to him.

Finding Courage
A/n: Originally I was gonna post this as a 12k fic, but then I decided I wanted to change it a bit, so here’s part two of  We Were Us (This is predominantly a Connor chapter. We’ll get to Shawn as the series goes on.)
Summary: things aren’t going the way you planned, and Connor is here to help.
Warnings: I think maybe angst
Word count: 2.8k
***
“You okay?” Connor asks after I’ve cried on his shoulder the majority of the movie. Neither of us were paying attention, me for very obvious reasons, and Connor because he was trying like hell to console me; whispering sweet nothings in my ear, telling me that everything was going to be okay. I wanted to believe him, I really did. I wanted to stop hurting, even if it’s only been just over an hour since Shawn and I broke up.
“I will be,” I say, repeating what he’s already told me so many times.
He sighs and draws a cross over the nape of my neck, three times. It’s all he knew how to do to calm me even just a little bit. When I was younger and would have anxiety in public, I would always draw a cross on my palm until I felt like I could breathe again. I found that focusing on what my fingers were doing rather than the loud noise surrounding me tended to help. Connor knew that, and was always ready to help me when I needed it. And clearly I needed it now. “What can I get you? Anything?”
I shake my head, “I think I need to go lay down.”
“Okay,” he nods. “The bed is made up for you. And I’m just down the hall if you need me. You need to crawl in bed with me, you do it.”
I smile half heartedly and press a kiss to his cheek. “I don’t deserve to have you, Connor.”
“Don’t say that.”
“But it’s true. You’ve been there for me through everything. I wouldn’t make it through this without you.”
“I don’t believe that,” he wipes at my tear stained face, a little mascara coming off on his thumbs. “You’re the strongest girl I know. You don’t need me, but I’m here. I’m here for you through anything. I promise.”
“Have I told you that you’re my best friend?”
“Only every day.”
I nod, “Good. I just want to make sure you know.”
“I do. Now, go get some sleep, honey.”
“But I should help you put this up.”
“It can wait until tomorrow. Go.”
“So bossy,” I mumble, slipping from under the blanket that covered us.
“Only when I need to be.”
I don’t sleep well… or at all really. I toss and turn most of the night, replaying the night in my head. He felt bad that he had to go on tour again. He knew how much of a strain it put on us last time and he wanted to make this easier. But I couldn’t let him. My heart couldn’t take another eight months of tour, another eight months without him. I couldn’t just up and leave like he wanted me to, like I wanted to. I had things that I needed to attend to here and we both knew that. He couldn’t put his life on hold just like I couldn’t for him. But he wanted to make it work with us. He was trying. So why did I fight it so hard. Why did I insist on breaking it off? Shawn thought that things were okay. He thought things were well enough that he wrote a whole ass album about me.
Oh god, the album.
I jump out of bed and dig in my purse for the flash drive. I didn’t bring my computer, but Connor had his in his room. I tiptoe in and see he’s sleeping peacefully on his stomach, one arm under his head. I watch his bare back rise and fall for a minute, tracking his breathing because his face is mostly in the pillow, and I’m worried he might suffocate. (He doesn’t know that every time we’ve spent the night together, I’ve spent most of my night making sure he’s breathing, but that’s not for him to know. I just want to make sure he’s okay.) I’d hate to wake him, but I have to do this and I have to do it now or it’s going to drive me crazy.
“Connor,” I whisper from the doorway, but he doesn’t stir. I sigh and walk in a little more. “Connor,” I say a little louder. Still nothing. “Jesus. Connor,” I kneel beside his bed and poke his side. “Con, wake up.”
“Mmm…” he grumbles.
“Brash.”
“Hmm?”
“Wake up, I need you.”
His eyes open when he finally registers that it’s me. “Y/n. What’s wrong, honey?”
“I need to use your computer.”
He sits up, rubbing his eyes. “On the desk,” he points, his voice still heavy with sleep.
I move to get it and set it in his lap. He opens it with a yawn types in his password as I sit down next to him.
“So why’d you need my computer?” He asks, handing me the laptop.
I hold up the flash drive. “Shawn gave me the album.”
“He did what?”
“This is every song on the album. I haven’t listened to it. He was gonna show me after dinner but well… And I don’t think I can listen to this alone.”
Even in his sleepy state, I can see the sympathy in his eyes and a large part of me hates it. Hates that anyone is seeing me like this. But it’s him and I know I shouldn’t be embarrassed in front of him. “Okay, put it in.”
I nod and insert the flash drive with shaky hands. I wait for the window to pop up, and there, in front of me are fourteen audio files. I suddenly feel like I can’t breathe as I press play before I have the chance to talk myself out of it. The opening notes fill the room and I close my eyes, trying like hell not to let myself break from just the soft strum of his guitar. It’s already so roughly Shawn and I think I might lose it before his voice even –
And there is it. That voice I fell in love with so many years ago. The voice of the man that I was convinced I would spend my life with.
“Y/n, breathe.” He places his hand over mine and turns it over, once again drawing a cross on my skin. “I’m here.”
We make it through three songs – well, if you call me sobbing on Connor’s bare shoulder, “making it through.” It’s when the lyrics start on the fourth that I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I make it only twenty-three seconds in before I’m rushing to the bathroom, my best friend hot on my tail.
“I’m sorry,” I mumble, sitting back against the bathtub after emptying the contents of my stomach.
“Don’t apologize. It’s okay. Maybe, we should take this one day at a time, yeah? We can listen to the rest of the album later.”
I shake my head, “It’s not the album. This has been happening for a few days. It might just be some type stomach bug or something.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? I have medicine in the cabinet.”
“No, Connor, you’re already doing too much for me.”
“It doesn’t matter what I’m doing for you. When are you going to understand that? I’m going to do whatever I need to do for you. That’s what I’m here for.” He moves from beside me and goes to the cabinet under the sink. “What are your symptoms?”
“Just nauseous. Little tired, but I haven’t really been sleeping much.”
He digs through the container of the meds and I can’t help but laugh a little. “You run some drug cartel I don’t know about?”
He hums, “Hey, traveling a lot fucks with your immune system. I have to be prepared. I have something for everything.”
“You sound just like my mom.”
“Yeah, well. She’s taught me a lot.”
“She asked about you the other day. She wants you to come over for dinner sometime soon.”
He smiles, “I’ll call her tomorrow to set something up.” He pulls a bottle out, reading over the description on the side. “This should work for you.” He pops the cap and pours two capsules into his hand.
---
“Well… It wasn’t a stomach bug.”
“What is it? Are you dying?” Connor opens the fridge, “Beer?”
“No thanks.”
He hums, twisting the lid off his bottle and handing me a water. “This must be serious. You’re not drinking.” He brings the glass up to his lips.
“Yeah, well. You can’t drink when you’re pregnant.”
He coughs, spitting his beer into the sink. “I’m sorry. You’re what?”
“No, you heard right. I’m pregnant.”
“But I thought you said-”
“Hey, sex was the only thing we were still good at.”
He shudders, “Too much information.”
I shrug, “Sorry.”
“So, what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know. Pretend it’s not happening?”
“Y/n?”
“What? I can’t tell him, Connor!”
“Why not?”
“Hello! He’s Shawn fucking Mendes. I can’t just spring a baby on him. Not with this new album coming out. Not with his tour next year. He can’t just put it all on hold. And the media will have a field day. ‘Shawn Mendes and ex-girlfriend: pregnant? Twins? Is it his?’ He doesn’t need to go through that. I don’t need to go through that.”
“Y/n, he’s the father. He deserves to know. You can’t just keep it from him because of his career.”
“Why not? We’re not gonna be seeing each other anymore.”
“Um, hi. I still work for him!”
“Oh. Oh. Oh, god,” I run my hands over my face. “I completely forgot you were going on tour with him again. Fuck!”
He sighs and comes to my side, “Y/n.”
“I don’t know what I’m going to do, Connor.” I sniffle.
“Come here,” he takes my hands from my face and wraps my arms around his torso. I let out a shuddery breath. “Hey, listen to me. It’s okay. We are going to get through this. You can tell him when you’re ready. And until then, I’m here. I’m here always. You know that.”
I sigh, “I’m scared.”
“You don’t have to be. I’ll help you. I’ll help you through everything. I mean it, you and I are in this together.”
“But it’s not your problem.”
“You are my problem,” he winces, “And yes, I know how bad that sounds. But… okay. Look at me,” he pulls away just far enough to see my face. “You don’t have to tell him yet. But you do have to tell him eventually. And when you tell him, I’ll be there right by your side. I’m not leaving you. Not now. Not ever. That baby,” he looks down at my stomach and then back to my eyes, “It’s gonna have you and me. I’m gonna be that really cool uncle the kid runs to when he’s in trouble.”
“You think I’m having a boy?” I ask, trying to lighten the mood because it’s already starting to get too emotional and I can’t handle it.
He takes that as his signal and smiles, pulling away from me. “I mean, I hope it is. That would be a fun time. I can teach him all the things I know. You know, how to be a lady killer, travel around the world and get thousands of girls screaming his name every night.”
“And if it’s a girl? What is Uncle Connor going to teach her?”
“That she’s not allowed to date until she’s at least thirty-five.”
It’s my turn to laugh. “Is that so?”
“Yeah, but either way, I’m teaching them about photography and video and surfing. That kid is going to be so loved, y/n. And they have me just like you do.”
I take in a deep breath. “Thank you,” I whisper.
---
“Connor, can you rub my back?” I ask, shifting on the couch, trying to find a better angle.
“Yeah, where?”
“Like right above the small of my back,” I reach my arm around myself to point and soon his warm hands meet my skin and I already feel relieved. “Oh, god. Thank you.”
“So, your doctor’s appointment is next week, right?”
I nod, “Yeah, Tuesday at three.”
“You want me to come with?”
“No.”
“Why not? I feel like I should be there when you find out what we’re having.”
I don’t correct him on the ‘we’ even though we both know this baby isn’t his. Which makes me think of the baby’s father and how I’m about to find out what we’re having and he still doesn’t even know that we’re having one. “Because you have to work. It’s the same time as your meeting with Shawn and the crew.”
He sighs, “You know I can tell him I’m out, if it makes you feel better about it.”
“No, Connor. We’ve talked about this. You’re not quitting because of me. You go and you do your job. It’s what you’re good at, and I am so proud of you.”
“Did he text you for the release?”
“Yeah,” I say quietly, remembering how I cried for an hour before I was able to text him back with a single ‘congratulations.’
“And?”
“And I listened to the rest of it... I hate that I love it.”
“You know it’s okay to miss him. Especially right now.”
“I know.” I pull away from him, playing with the hem of my shirt.
“You still haven’t told him.”
“I know,” I say again, deflating. “I will.”
“When?”
“I was thinking maybe in ten years?”
“Y/n,” he says with a stern look.
“Connor, please.”
“And what am I going to tell him when you call me telling me you’re in labor in six months.”
“We can handle it then.”
He shakes his head, “You know that’s not gonna work. You’ve got to tell him. And soon. It’s not just him it’ll effect. Karen, Manny, Aaliyah. They deserve to know too.”
I close my eyes. I hadn’t even thought about how it would affect them. “You’re right. Can we just? Wait another week? Know what I’m having first. And then I’ll tell him.”
“It’s already been four months… I guess a week won’t hurt.”
“Speaking of four months. I’ve been looking for a place, and I think I found one. It’s not too far from here and I mean, the rent is kinda a lot, but I think it’ll work.”
“Why are you looking for a place?”
I furrow my brows at him. “What do you mean? I have to move out at some point, Con. You know that?”
“Well, I mean, I guess. But you don’t have to move out right now. I like coming home to you. It’s nice. Familiar. Reminds me of the nights I’d spend at your house when we were kids. You know when your mom would make us those really rich chocolate chip cookies and we’d sneak them to your room before bed. But now it’s like that every night. Especially now that your cravings are starting.”
I smile softly, “Well I like coming home to you, too. But come on. You didn’t sign up for a baby. Plus, I’m not even paying rent. I’m sleeping in your guest room because I broke up with my boyfriend. This isn’t exactly the ideal living situation for you, bub.”
“Sure, but I don’t mind. I like having you here. And don’t think I haven’t noticed the random hundred and fifty dollars showing up in my wallet every time you get paid. Which by the way, I’m not spending.”
“Connor, I have to pay you back somehow.”
“No, you don’t. And I won’t tell you again. So anyway, the money isn’t being spent, but it is being put to good use. I started a college fund for the baby.”
“You what?”
“Yeah. Or I guess it could be used as bail money if it ever comes to that. But I don’t know. I just wanted to do something for them.”
“But why?”
“Because they’re part of you. Which means they’re part of me too.”
I can’t say anything. I don’t think anything will be good enough.
“So,” he says a while later. “We should start thinking about names.”
“Right now?”
“Yeah, I’ll start. If it’s a boy I think we should name him Connor.”
I chuckle, “No.”
“Come on, it’s a good name.”
“It’s your name.”
“Exactly.”
“No. Next.”
“Okay fine. What do you think then?”
“Brandon.”
“No. Too basic. How about Tanner?”
“No. Patrick?”
He shakes his head.
“Okay, well then let’s think girl names. Because, yes, that is a possibility.”
He sighs, “Girl names. Okay. You have anything in mind?”
“Rachel?”
“Eh, I’m not feeling it.”
“Okay, then how about Kendall?”
“How about Mae?”
Mae. “I like it.” Mae Mendes. Mendes. “Hey, Connor?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you think it’s okay if I give the baby Shawn’s last name?”
I don’t look at him when he answers, but I know him well enough to know he’s biting the inside of his cheek. “I think he’d like that very much.”

things are changing | pt 1
shawn x reader x connor
Tumblr media
Summary: you are Shawn’s best friend and on tour with him but how will things change after he starts dating Camilla? Lucky for you, a certain videographer is your shoulder to lean on.
Word Count: 1800ish
A/N: wow, so a lot of you enjoyed the sneak peek I posted! Thank you all for the love on it and I hope you enjoy the first part of this! Let me know what you think! I was going to write so much more but decided to do a small little series instead Xxxx p.s I think I spelled her name wrong but i don’t really give a fuc ✌🏼
                              +++++++++++++++++++++ 
“Sorry, maybe next time.”  
“I’m with Camilla.”
“Actually, I have plans with Camilla later.” 
Those were a few of the many excuses you have heard since you rejoined Shawn on tour. Shawn has been your best friends since birth practically. Your parents were close so naturally, you two became friends early in life. Since the beginning of his singing career, you have been there. Flying out to see him as much as possible to waking up at 2 am to help him through his anxiety, to even enduring many late nights in the studios, despite having no musical talent, because he wanted your opinion. Shawn was your shoulder to cry on; the one you had movie marathons with every time he came home. The one that helped you study for exams, despite not knowing what any of it meant. Shawn was one of your people. It’s always been him, you and Brain.
But things have changed since you came back on tour. His constantly hectic schedule wasn’t the problem. Shawn was caught up in his new relationship and was leaving you behind. You weren’t necessarily jealous or envious, but it hurt that he didn’t seem try and find time for you, his best friend. It hurt even worse that he didn’t realize how much this was affecting you. Someone else did though. Since Shawn was constantly busy, Connor has taken it upon himself to fill the gap.
“I don’t know how you do this every day.” You said, leaning your head against his shoulder as you helped him edit the new footage from the past previous shows. Well you say help, but really you just made comments on everything he did to mess with him. His video was amazing; he truly was talents with a camera. Currently, you two in his hotel room in Miami before the show.
“Trust me, this is the worst part.” Connor said, eyes glazed over from staring at the computer screen for too long. His stunning blue eyes still bright as ever though. You stood up and flopped down on the bed, that was next to the desk Connor was working at. “Hey, hey. We don’t rest until we finish.” Connor stood by the bed now.
“But, I’m sleepy. And technically, this isn’t my job, so there is no ‘we’. ” You tease. Connor raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, is that so?” Before you could say anything else, his fingers attacked your sides, sending you into a fit of loud laughter. Despite your attempts, he did not stop tickling you. The only thing that saved you was the knock on the door that echo throughout the room. “You got lucky.” He smiles before walking over to answer; you took the chance to wipe the tears from your eyes and catch you breathe. The smile bright and big on your lips, however.
“Hey man. It’s time to go to the arena.” Brian said at the door. Connor nodded and the two walked further into the room. “What did I just walk into?” Brian smirked at your currently place on the bed. Your hair and clothes were disheveled from trying to get out of Connor’s attack.
“Shut up.” You pushed the red head playfully as you stood up, straighten out your clothes and smooth your hair. “He decided to attack me.” Connor gasped in horror.
“I would never do such a thing.” His hand on his chest, a fake insulted expression on his face. Brian rolled his eyes at the banter between you two but smiled. It was good to see you laughing again; he knew how much it affected you that Shawn wasn’t hangout with you.
“Hey, no one has seen Y/N in hours. Do you guys know where she is?” Shawn frantically walked into the room. The singer paused, sighing in relief at the sight of you. “Thank god. Where have you been?”
“With Connor. I was helping him edit his footage.” You said, and the playful mood changed into something more serious when you saw the way Shawn eyed Connor.
“Oh please, all you did was eat my candy and question my decisions.” Connor teased you. You stuck your tongue out at him, like the child you are. Shawn just stiffly stood there.
“Well, we need to leave to the arena.” Shawn said after a moment of just staring. You awkwardly nodded, grabbing your bag from the chair as Connor got what he needed. Brian silently watching the exchange, as Shawn left without another word.
“Hey, don’t think too much about it.” Brian whispered to you, as the three of you followed the tall, curly head. Your expression reminded him of a kicked puppy as you stared after your best friend. Nodding and placing a smile on your face, Brian wrapped his arm around your shoulder  as walked to the elevator where some of the team was waiting.
Connor winking at you when you made eye contact, causing you to make a goofy face back. The two of you laugh lightly as the elevator doors opened; neither noticing the Shawn’s envious eyes watching.
+++++++++++++++
The next day was a free day in Miami. A bunch of the team decided they wanted to spend the day at the beach, and you were completely fine with a relaxation day. A knock sounded throughout the hotel room you were in.
“Open up, open up.” Brian repeatedly banged on the door. You rolled your eyes at his impatience’s but still let him in. “Finally. Come on, I am starving. I’m withering away as we speak.” Brian dramatics were amusing.
“I only wish to be as dramatic as you one day.” You mocked but grabbed the bag on the chair and walked out the door with him following.
“Not possible. I’ve been perfecting it all my life.” Brian played along as you stopped by Shawn’s room, to see if he wanted to eat with you. You knocked on the door, much more gently than Brian did previous. It only took a few seconds before the door swung open, and there stood the tall rockstar. He smiled at you, which you returned.
“We’re getting food before we head out with everyone else. Wanna come with?” You asked cheerfully. Shawn didn’t answer, staring at you instead; the happy, bright look in your eyes made you glow, and look absolutely stunning. “Shawn?” You asked, knocking him out of his trance.
“Uh, sorry, what?” Shawn asked, glaring at Brian, who gave him a knowing look.
“Do you want to go eat with us?” You asked again, your tone hopeful. Shawn gave a small, regretful smile.
“Oh, I’m actually going to eat with Camilla.” Shawn confessed, his heart hurting at the look of disappointment on your face. You tried your best to conceal it though, but he knew you too well. You just nodded.
“Next time, man.” Brian said. “We’ll see you at the beach.” The red head led you down the hall, where Connor was just coming out of his room. Shawn watched longingly as your face brighten  when the LA native hugged you. An unfamiliar feeling filled his body at the thought of someone else making you smile like that; someone that wasn’t him.
“Hey, actually, I can raincheck with Camilla.” Shawn said, rushing down the hall to joining the small group. He already knew this was going to piss Camilla off, but he didn’t care once he saw how your eyes gleamed of happiness at him joining.
“Are you sure?” You politely asked, not wanting to make him feel obligated. Shawn had never been surer of anything.
“Yeah, let’s go.” Shawn smiled a million-dollar smile, before grabbing your hand and leading you into the elevator. Shawn and Connor made eye contact; the normal,friendly banter between them was gone. May the best man win.

Four Years
(A/N: i can’t remember where i got this concept from but creds to whoever gave me the inspiration for this! i hope you enjoy this even though its not the best. & again the gif has nothing to do with the fic but i just hink that its cute lol)
Summary: You broke things off with Connor whenever you found out you where pregnant. You and Adeline were at the library and you ended up running into him. What happens when he finds out that you had her? And that she is his kid..
-
Tumblr media
-
"Can we go to the park?"
"Honey, not today. It’s a little too late to go to thr park tonight."
"Okay."
"Well.. here’s what we can do, we can go to library tonight. And then tomorrow or something, we can go to the park." I speak to my 4 year old daughter.
She's incredibly smart for her age, and just like her father. She loves to sing, dance, and try her best to read books. She loves taking pictures of stuff too on my phone when she has it.
I wish Connor could've been here for this.
I let go of him and broke things off in our relationship when I got pregnant with Adeline. I didn't want to ruin his life. I was just stupid, and scared at the time.
Hell, we were only 17 and 18! I never wanted to tell him and ruin everything he had going for him. His career, his reputation, his passion..
I didn't want to ruin it all for him then have him resent me for it. And if his reaction was bad, I didn't want Addy to feel like a burden to him.
She asks about him all the time though. Who her daddy is, what he looks like, what he was like. I tell her that her daddy had to go away for a very long time. But then I always change the subject after to not let the conversation go too far. But it doesn't stop her from asking.
We just moved here to LA cause I got a better job offer here then I did when I was living back home with my parents. It's a new start, a new life I need.. that Adeline needs.
"Momma! Momma we gotta hurry before we miss it!" She says jumping and down. I smile.
"Miss what?"
"The library! It's gonna close soon!" I smiled down at my little bookworm and grabbed her hand, trudging out the door and into the street of LA.
It was a bit chilly outside. But we continued walking till we got to the library and walked in. Addy's face lit up.
"Look how many there are, Momma!" I smiled at her excitement and told her to go pick out a few. She ran off and did just that and I waited for her near the entrance.
I answered a call from my boss and checked on a few things and feeling something collide with my back.
"Omph!"
Me and the person fall over and hit the ground, I wince and look to the other person to see if they're alright.
"Oh my gosh, are you o-"
My heart stopped.. You’ve got to be fucking kidding. I almost couldn't believe my eyes. Is he seriously right here? Infront of me?
"Y/n?" Connor says with a shaky breath. His eyes held so many emotions, I didn't know what to do or say as my eyes began watering. Hold it together and don’t fucking cry.
"Connor."
"Y-You're here? W-ha- wh.. when.." He speaks so frantically.
"I just moved here with-" I stopped myself. I can't tell him. Not like this. Not right now.
"With..?"
"N-No one.." I say hoping that Addy takes a little longer to pick out her books.
"It's so good to see you.. amazing actually." Connor says smiling. Oh my gosh.. I missed that smile. I miss him.
"Momma!" My eyes widen at the sound of my daughter's voice looking for me. Fuck. I know can't keep it a secret forever but I’m not ready to break the news just yet.
"Momma, look! I found my favorite book!" Adeline says pulling on my pant leg.
I smile at her but look at Connor, not knowing what to think. His expression wasn't all smiles anymore, it was shock and confusion.
"M-..Momma?" He repeats. A tear slips down my face and then it hits him.
"Is she.."
"Yeah.." I answer picking Adeline up and putting her on my hip.
"She reminds me of you everyday. She's a spitting image of you too. I haven't forgotten about you.. I’ve done nothing but think about you for the past 4 years. I didn't want to leave.. gosh I love you but i didn't want to hurt your life." I explain as more tears fell from my eyes. I’m right on the edge of actually breaking right now.
Connor looked so lost of words. I feel like I’ve hurt him even more then I did when I broke off things between us.
"Connor.. I-I'm so sorry." I say pushing past him with my head down. I walk out onto the street and start running towards my apartment.
"Y/n, wait!" I hear Connor call out right as i open my apartment door.
I quickly pushed it open and got inside. Adeline quickly ran into her bedroom where to start reading her books.
"Y/n, please! Don't shut me out again." Connor says leaning his head against the door pleadingly. My heart broke at his words..
I sighed and opened the door, letting him in. He stepped in and leaned against the counter, looking around at the drawings on the fridge Addy drew and the messy living room that is full of her toys and stuff.
"Why did you not tell me when you found out?" He asks after a few moments of silence. I look at him. Is he seriously that stupid?
"Do you really think I was gonna ruin your life and your career? I didn't think you were ready. Hell, I wasn't even ready myself. But I knew I didn’t want you to give up your passion for me. And I’m sorry for breaking things off between us but I was just so scared, Connor. You don't even understand how scared I was." I sobbed, finally breaking. Feeling all of the shit I probably should have felt four years ago.
"I'm not mad. I know you were scared. I probably would’ve been too in your position, but you should've just told me. You had to do this all alone for 4 years with no help." Connor paused grabbing my face gently, wiping my tears.
"And I’ve hardly looked at another girl since you left me. It was just too hard. I never stopped loving you. I always hoped you'd come back to me, tell me you messed up and you missed me just as mush as I did you. I just wanted you back." He says with tears slowly falling out of his eyes. I smiled and blushed at him, dumbfounded by his loyalty.
I looked him in the eyes a little longer. And then with my face in his hands, he placed a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. A kiss I didn’t know how much I truly missed until right now.
I wrap my arms around his neck and kissed back, soon pulling away for air.
"Can I meet her?" Connor asks with a big smile on his face. I smiled back and nodded.
"Adeline! Come here honey!" I called out to her.
"Adeline.. beautiful." Connor repeats and I smile even wider. Adeline comes running into the kitchen and looks at the mysterious tall man.
"Who's he, Momma?" She asks pointing. Connor crouches down in front of her, taking her hands in his.
"Hi Adeline, I'm Connor but you can call me Con. How old are you?" Connor speaks to her with such a soft, gentle voice.
"I'm this four! And you can call me Addy, everyone does." Addy says proudly, smiling wide. Connor chuckles.
"Wow! That's a really good number, Addy!" He says all excited. My heart unfolded at the sight in front of me.
"Addy, did Momma ever tell you about your Daddy?" Connor asks her. She nods her head and he smiles.
"What'd she says about him?"
"She said that he was like a prince, tall and handsome and super sweet. She said that she loves him to the moon and back but that he had to go away for a very long time because something happened that he might’ve not liked.” Addy paused for a second to think of an example to give him.
“Oh! Like the evil queen not letting Snow White be free." Addy exclaims and we both laughed at her example.
Connor nods and takes a deep breath, looking at me for permission. I nod and we all site down on the floor criss cross. He pulls Addy to sit in from of him.
"Addy, Can I tell you something?” Connor asked her looking her in her soft blue eyes.
“Are you my daddy?” She asked, turning and looking at you. Then back at him.
The both of you are shocked. How did she figure that out?
“Yeah honey. He is your daddy.” You told her, scared of what her reaction might be.
Suddenly, she breaks out with a huge smile on her face and wraps her arms tightly around Connor's neck giggling.
"I love you, daddy!" She squeals and my heart flutters. Connor hugs her tightly with his eyes closed, soaking everything from this moment in.
"I am so happy to hear you say that." He leans back out the hug and kisses her cheek softly.
This is the moment I have been dreaming of since I found out I was pregnant with her. I was just too scared to let it happen.
But now that it has, I regret not letting it happen sooner.

The End

Row 11, seat 14 (Connor x Y/n)
Tumblr media
Tori's (@shawnpetermuffins​) request on ConWhore Group :) Hope I fulfilled it okay ❤️
The last Blurb for now guys, we will have more soon, but I will focus on my OCs for a while :)
Word Count: 1,424
# Blurb week 1
- - - - - -
"What do you mean Blair, it says Row 11, seat 13 and 12 right here?" Y/n said, trying to reason with her friend. She was the fan that, not that Y/n wasn't. Can someone possibly dislike John Mayer? No. But Blair was The fan, she had all the Merch, all the CDs, and she followed every path of her idol. For Y/n that was a little crazy, but she couldn't complain, Blair liked some company in the concerts, Y/n got free tickets bought by her friend all the time. So amazing.
"Y/n, I understand that. But since we are late. We could just stay here. This place is so much better. Look," She pointed to the stage. The concert would start in 2 minutes, and they had just arrived missing the opening act. It was all Blair's fault, she keeps a long time finding the right Merch Shirt she should use.
"But B, this is not gonna work out. I mean, we are not the only people late to this. The concert is sold out." Y/n said, trying to reason with her friend.
"At this point, I don't care, I am staying here." Y/n laughed at that, then noticing her friend was telling the truth. "Come on, stop being the right Girl all the time, nothing will go wrong Little Y/n" Y/n sighed and just sit beside Blair writing for the concert to start.
It ended up being 15 minutes waiting, the concert was also late. When the first accords of the first song started to play, 2 girls stopped right in front Blair and Y/n.
"Those are our places," Y/n nodded and stand up, but Blair refused to do the same.
"Blair, we have to go. Now." Y/n said, more like screaming because everyone was at that point.
"But, y/n. They are late. It is not my fault," Blair said and pouted.
"Come on B, they will call security if we don't leave. Then you won't get to see him at all." She reasoned.
"Fine, let's find our seats," Blair said, finally waking up, but not before giving a death threat with her eyes to the two late girls.
They went up 3 more roles finally finding row 11, and it was not that bad. It even gave them a better view.
"Blair, I am never coming with you to one of those again, I swear to God…" Y/n started, but before she could finish, she was pushed so strongly by someone because she was obstructing the person's view that she ended up falling in a guys lap. "Oh my God, I am so, so sorry."
"It's okay, are you hurt?" The mysterious guy asked, checking on her. She made the mistake of looking at him before answering, and suddenly she got lost in his blue eyes. She kept staring at him until he asked her again. "It's something wrong? Did you hurt yourself?" She then shook her head no and got up, sliding into her proper seat. She looked from the side of her eyes to Blair, and she had a smirk on her face, but Y/n chose to ignore that.
"I am okay, thank you…"
"Connor," He said, extending his hand for her.
"Thank you, Connor, Y/n" She answered, extending her hand back to a weird handshake as they were both sit side by side. She noticed the guy had a camera around his neck, not any camera but a film camera, which supposed to be the same camera model she had been saving for months to buy.
"It's that a Lomography Lubitel 166+ ?" She asked, biting her lips.
"Yes!" Connor answered with a surprised tone. Not many people knew how to recognize old film camera models just by looking at it.
"I've been dying to buy one of those," She said, making him smile. She was pretty he thought, but then he shared his head trying to tell himself he shouldn't be having these thoughts for someone that just literally tripped on him.
"You should, it's amazing. Especially because of the…"
"4.5 triplet lens" She completed and blushed a little. "Sorry" She apologized for interrupting him.
"It's okay, it is not common to find people that know film cameras that well." He said they both completely ignoring the concert at that point. If it wasn't for everyone screaming around them, they could possibly just forget where they were.
"I know I double major in cinema and photography." She explained, and he nodded. "I know, a crazy girl that is doing 2 colleges with no prospects of getting money in the future," She said, making him laugh.
"I didn't think that at all. I work in photography. I major in physicology." He said, and she frowned confused. "I know, the undecided guy that goes to two completely different things," He said, making her laugh this time.
"I didn't think that at all," She said, repeating what he had said and making him blush. "I get it, it's amazing to understand how feelings work, and how sometimes a picture can show each and every feeling someone has hidden inside, and I guess if you study how people feel you can also see how they were feeling in your pictures." He nodded, surprised she really did understand.
"Not everyone gets it," He said, and she nodded.
"Not everyone gets my choice either," She said, turning back her attention to the John Mayer in the stage when Blair shook her arm.
"Isn't he the best?" She asked, making Y/n laugh and agree. "Don't think I didn't see you and the blondie talking. He is cute," Blair said without moving her mouth and still looking at the stage.
"B, I don't even know him!" Y/n said quietly in her friend's ear.
"Y/n, you didn't really know me when we met and look at us best friends now. My friend you have lots to learn about the flirting business" Blair said, making Y/n blush. She tried to focus on the concert, but she could feel his eyes burning her skin from time to time.
"I think my old Bro is growing up," Dylan said after seeing the interaction between Y/n and Connor.
"Shut up," Connor said, making his brother laugh.
"I am not shutting up, ask her number," He said, making Connor widen his eyes and shake his head. "Why not?"
"I don't even know her?" He said as if it was obvious.
"Connor, you should be the one teaching me that stuff not the other way around," Dylan said, and Connor looked at him confused. "Old Brother, that is how you get to know her. By going out with her. And let's be honest you did like her." Connor could have answered his brother, but instead, he looked at Y/n again and bitted his lip when she laughed at something her friend was saying. He whispered at the sound, not knowing exactly if it was John Mayers song messing up his heart or the sound of the girl laughing. He then closed his eyes and whispered before coming back to his brother. Dylan simply laughed at that and shook his head as for silent saying I already told you what to do.
Connor tried to ignore his heart, beating a little faster by seeing Y/n having fun singing and dancing with the concert. He also tried to ignore his hands sweating. But at some point, he couldn't, mainly because he was probably looking non-stop to the girl for the last 15 minutes. And he was sure she had noticed him because her cheeks were red, and she was so damn cute with her cheeks red Connor though and then closed his eyes for a second, debating what he should do next. He took a deep breath before turning back to Y/n again and calling her name.
"Y/n?" He nervously bit his lower lip.
"Yes?" She looked back at him.
"Do you want to hang out after the show? We could grab dinner…" He said, feeling stupid for suggesting dinner, dinner was maybe too formal. And again they didn't know each other. "I mean, not dinner, we could just walk and talk about pictures?" He nervously suggested and then closed his eyes for 5 seconds at how stupid he was again. "Or we could just…" he stopped when he heard her chuckle.
"I would love to go do something afterward."

Hi beautiful sending you love mwah 😘😘 just wanted to know if you can write something were you hear Shawn talk badly about you so you distance yourself. Please.
Thank you so much for requesting!! 😘😘
Pairing : Shawn x y/n
Warnings : language and angst
Word count : 2.8 k
The first thing you heard when you opened the door to Shawn's condo was basically loud laughter of people including your boyfriend's. You just came back from work, a bit earlier than usual because shawn had been complaining about how he doesn't get to spend time with you because work has been crazy for you and you had a lot of files to finish and you were hella tired of your boss being a complete asshole, who never lets anyone stay home and he was no different to you. Anyways you were not at all aware of the fact that he had guests over.
The sound was coming from the living area of Shawn's penthouse apartment and apart from Shawn's, you recognised the laughter as Brian's, and Connor's. A small smile creeped on your face. You absolutely adored Shawn's friends so you walked towards the living to say 'hi' to them.
You were close enough to hear what they were talking about when your legs came to halt at the mention of you name.
"So how's life with y/n? Tour's over....You're free and now that y/n is staying with you, you must have a lot of cheesy things to say" Connor said whilst laughing.
"Oh yeah I actually do but not right now because why the hell would you mention my so called clingy girlfriend?" Shawn said and Brian laughed so loudly at that but your heart stopped.
"What??! What are you saying?!?" Connor said because shawn has been the most "I'm obsessed with my girlfriend and she is my goddess!!" Type of guy he had ever met.
"I said y/n is extremely clingy and annoying and I don't have anything good to say about her right now so please stop talking about that hoe!!" Shawn said and started laughing like crazy with Brian. Both of their laughs clouding your mind. You just stood there not able to comprehend anything.
You turned around silently, grabbed your keys and left the apartment in the same clothes you came in.
You got in your car and started driving slowly. You were now driving to nowhere for about 30 mins.
The moment you processed the words shawn said you slammed the break and your head came down on the stearing wheel with a plasticy bang.. must have been painfull.. ow poor y/n.
Did he really say that?!? Does he think I'm an annoying clingy hoe?!? Hell! "HE" was the one who wanted me to stay home and spend time with 'HIM'!! And I'm clingy?!? Is this the guy you've been in love with for what? Like 3 years?!! How could he call you a hoe!?! Why would any boyfriend disrespect his girlfriend like that??!? This is the worst day ever!!
All these thoughts were knocked out from your mind by a loud honking sound. You were basically in the middle of a road and by now, there were tons of cars parked behind you. Wow! You just created a big traffic block in the middle of Toronto city. Go you!! *Claps of sarcasm*
You quickly turned around and took another route to make your way back to Shawn's apartment like nothing happened. Haha asshole! but sometimes you gotta act like you weren't the cause of a huge ass traffic block..
You didn't know exactly why you were going back. To lay it onto him?? To get your things?? I don't know but you got home with slouched shoulders and an emotion less face.
You were about to reach and open the door when Shawn opened the door and a bright smile appeared on his face on seeing you which almost made you forget about the things he just said. Eh but not really.
"Baby!!!! I missed you so much today!!" He said and went in for a hug and you hugged him back it was as if someone was clawing at your heart.
"I'm just gonna walk these guys out and I'll be back in a second okay? You get freshened by then" He said sweetly but right now his words seemed anything but sweet!
How dare he say that to them and then act like nothing happened?? That too infront of them?!?! Which speaking of-!
"Hey y/n!!!" Connor and Brian said at the same time and both hugged you and you silently hugged them back, with a fake smile that could basically convince anyone but not Shawn.
"You guys go ahead I'll come in a sec" he said and turned to you.
"Okay then Bye y/n" they both bid their goodbyes and made their way to the lift.
"Hey what happened baby? Any problem with your boss??" Shawn asked tilting your chin up to look you in the eyes.There was evident hurt in them.
You were debating to weather tell him or push him away but you didn't choose any of that.
"Yeah..had a bad day at work"
"Aww baby you go inside and sit down okay! I'll be back after properly saying goodbye to the guys and you can tell me all about your day. Alright?" He asked sweetly but it sounded like straight up sarcasm to you but you chose not to call him out right now.
He gave you a short peck and there he goes ....'probably gonna talk more shit about me' you thought to your self which and it made you feel like your heart was stabbing itself.
You went inside and sat yourself on the couch. The same couch where the love of your life talked shit about you being a clingy hoe. (Sorry I'm just over dramatic 😅)
About 5 mins later shawn came in and sat by your side.
"What happened baby?? What did your crazy boss do this time?" He asked while taking your hand in his and slowly stroking the back of your hand with his other hand but you didnt move.
"Nothing..just the usual..I have...work...just...I-!...I'm going to take a shower" you said. A slight frown appeared on Shawn's face. But he understood....some days you were like this when work really stressed you out.
'Maybe she doesn't wanna talk about it' he thought.
"Okay baby" he said and you stood up from the couch and before you walked 4 steps shawn caught your hand and pulled you into him.
He craddled your face in his warm huge palms that always made you melt like it wasn't even a big deal at all and kissed your lips sweetly.
You kissed him back but pulled away quicker that shawn would have liked which caused a small pout on his perfectly soft pink lips and all you wanted to do was kiss it away so that's what you did but quickly reminding yourself that he thinks your a clingy hoe and pulling away again.
"Let me kiss my girl properly first" he said smiling at you and you'd be lying if you said it doesn't do things to you even if your upset with him. How could he do this?!? One time he's saying he hates you and now he's all over you as if he really is?!?
"I'm tired shawn I wanna take a shower" you said while planting the same fake smile on your face. He frowned at you and them pulled you into a hug and you only dropped your hands low...not embracing the hug.
"Want me to join?' he asked playfully smirking at you and it literally made you feel all sorts of way but you knew it was all an act and he just.. thought you were a hoe.
"No I'm really tired shawn" you said now turning around and walking to the bathroom with tears forming real quick in your eyes.
"Okay... baby I'll start preparing dinner then" he said and you didn't fail to pick up the hurt in his voice. But why??? He doesn't care at all!! What a great ass actor?!? Your seriously doubting if you dreamed all that. But nah...its real..he hurt you.
You took a long ass shower washing yourself and feeling all your emotions get warmed up by the warm water and you just...started crying. You cried silenty under the shower where one couldn't distinguish tears from water. Maybe you were clingy. But that's only because you love him but why would he call you a HOE!?! Why?? Why would he disrespect you like that?? After 3 years of relationship, was your love for him making you look like a hoe??
After you got out of the shower, usually you would've just put on one of Shawn's hoodies and then go chill on the couch but today you just.. couldn't bring yourself to wear his clothes. So you put on one of your band t-shirts and some shorts and walked to the kitchen where Shawn had already prepared and put out dinner on the table and was waiting for your company.
He came to you with a toothless smile on his face which quickly dropped by half when he noticed you weren't wearing one of his clothes..but he didn't let it bother him that much or let's say... tried to act like it didn't bother him as much as it did. You still noticed it though..and it gave you a weird feeling.
He hugged you which again you didn't return.
"You smell so good!" He said pulling away from the hug and you gave him your half assed fake smile AGAIN.
Shawn was fully aware that something was wrong but he thought you'd tell him while having dinner.
He led you to the table and pulled the chair out for you like he always did and you both sat down to have dinner.
Awkwardness was all around the table.
You did not talk at all and even though shawn tried his best and asked you stuff to get you to talk about what's wrong or let's say..make it less awkward, all your replies were just..yes, no and silence.
After dinner you washed your plate and mumbled a goodnight that didn't feel like it was to ANYONE and went to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It went like this for a few days.. you being extra awkward to Shawn and purposely avoiding him and distancing yourself from him and being really down. He was really sad and hurt and frustrated because he would ask you whats the matter and you would either tell him "nothing" or just shrug your shoulders. You didn't even look him in the eyes anymore. Shawn was really really confused and even more worried.
Well how could you talk to him?!? After all he called you clingy and annoying which means he doesn't want you around and also he called you a hoe.
One day Shawn came back from the studio and saw you reading a book on the couch. A small smile creeped on his face knowing that you were reading some sort of romance novel.
"What are you doing?" He asked while coming and sitting next to you.
You were pretty lost in the book so you did not see him coming in.
"Oh just a stupid book haha... I have to get back to work now.." you said and got up to leave only to walk two steps and stop at the mention of your name.
"Y/n" you turned around to see Shawn now standing up from the couch with a very hurt look on his face.
"I don't know why but I noticed that you've been purposefully avoiding me for a few days..why are you doing that?? What did I do??please talk to me.." He asked now looking straight into your eyes and you could see right in his eyes that he was hurt.
"What? I don't know what your talking abou..-!" You were cut of by Shawn showing his palm infront of your face.
"Y/n stop...you know what you've been doing.....Is it me?? Did I do anything wrong?? Please talk to me.....you can always talk to me you know" he said now reaching for your hand but the moment his hand touched you you shook it away and backed off like he attacked you or something.
Shawn looked at you as if his heart just broke.
"No shawn..you should've thought about that before calling me a clingy, annoying hoe" you said for once and stormed in your bedroom slamming the door shut.
Shawn followed right behind you and got the door shut right on his face.
"What are you talking about-!? I- I-..! Dont understand! I never called you any of that!" Shawn said now leaning on the door.
"Stop fucking lying shawn I heard you talking with connor and Brian that day and you called me all those things!!" You barked from the other side of the door.
"Shit! Baby I can explain! Please open the door for me! I swear I didn't mean for you to hear it!" He said now banging on the door.
"Of course you didn't! And Explain what?!? That I'm being delusional and maybe even say some half assed lies?? How did I ever believe that you love me?!? Maybe I am clingy...But you called me a hoe!!"
"No baby please listen! I know it would've sounded so very wrong but just wasn't being serious! We were just joking around and I said that" he tried to explain and it did not even harm a hair of your anger.
"Haha what are you saying shawn?! That would never convince anyone! Try harder with your lies and leave me the fuck alone!" You said.
"Baby please believe me.. you are the most gorgeous and amazing women I've ever met and I could never ever say such things about you! I love you! Please believe me!" He said with tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
"I wish I could believe you shawn..but I actually heard this with my own ears.." you said.. now wiping your own tears.
"Please open the door for me I will explain it all please just...hear me out!" He said now bringing his hands to his face to catch the spilling tears.
You opened the door to him kneeling on the floor. You sat next to him resting your back on the wall.
After a few seconds he came and sat next to you..... Both of you staring at whatever that was ahead of you.
"Explain" you said.
Shawn wiped his tears and started talking.
"So...that day..you went to work and connor and brian came over and we were chatting on the couch and you know how connor loves you and me together like he ships us so hard haha so me and Brian were just pranking him and joking around so I just said I don't like you to prank connor....it sounds so fake...I know but that's the truth..I should've never said that..even if it was a joke I'm so sorry baby. You can even call Brian or Connor right now and ask them if you don't believe me " he said
By now you felt almost dizzy..you're so dumb!! 😬..you were making such a huge ass deal about this. OMG you're so stupid!! Wtf?? How could you be so stupid?? Like..all of this would've never happen if you just opened your mouth and talked to your boyfriend!!!!
"I..-! I'm sorry" you said, looking at Shawn who was already looking at you.
"I'm so so sorry baby I thought you didn't love me anymore I mean..I know I'm not that good looking and you could basically have any girl you wanted and I just-! I'm so sorry!! Ya know I always am terrified that one day I'll wake up and you don't love me anymore and I just-.... I should've just talked to you about this. Shit! I'm so stupid this is all my fault!!" You were full on crying right now and shawn just pulled you to his chest while you cried.
"Hey Don't say that!! You're the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on and I can't even imagine living a life where you hate me and it's okay bubba I mean..if I was you this is exactly how I would've acted but from now on ..please talk to me if I did something that upsets you....I hate it when we cry" shawn said cracking a small smile.
"I'm sorry again" you said pouting your lips only for shawn to grab your face and kiss your frown away replacing it with a genuine smile, Something that has been lacking from your face for the past few days.
"It's alright now do you wanna make dinner or get Mc Donalds??"
You smiled at your sweet boy. He already knew the answer.
"Mc Donalds it is!"

and because i can’t decide which song is my favorite can you also do one with piece of you!!
Piece of you
Shawn Mendes x female reader
Word Count: ~687
Warning ⚠️: fluff, maybe grammar error and maybe some punctuation errors.
A/N: Thinking about making a longer version of jealous Shawn. But what do you guys think?
Blurb Week T&C Masterlist
A party is happening right now as the team wants to celebrate Brian’s birthday.
You choke back a laugh at the sight of a random girl trying to grind against Shawn, who stands still and solemn like one of those Queen’s Guards with those up-high furry hats. You catch his eye and lift an eyebrow as he sends you a suffering look. Well, if he’d rather dance with you, then he has no other choice but to come and ask for what he truly wants.
You were too busy or cooped up to realize that Connor had come beside you, “Hey, Y/n, dance with me?”
“Gladly.”
As you and Connor reach the dance floor, you turn around, your back to his front, reaching around to cup the back of his neck as he takes you by your waist. You grind against him while casting your gaze over the crowd for Shawn.
And oh, is he easy to find.
His eyes meet yours, even from across the room. There was something about your look tonight that made him lose his words. The black dress adorned your body, hugging your figure perfectly. The glossy black high heels and, to top it all off, lips painted in red, the undertones not too warm nor too cool. It was the perfect tone of red that complimented your skin.
He wanted to be the one close to you. He wants your body pressed up against his.
Jealousy, the green-eyed monster, was rather obvious, appearing in his eyes. He doesn’t even notice the girl flopping like a fish against him.
As the beat of the music picked up in pace, you turned and wrapped your arms around Connor’s neck, swaying your hips as he continued to take hold of your waist and press you closer, “You’re a great dancer, Brashier.”
“Oh, please, give yourself credit too. In fact, I- -.”
Just then, you feel a hand on your shoulder; your noses pick up the smell of such familiar cologne and feel his warmth radiating against your back as he steps right up against you.
“Excuse me, but I’ll be cutting in here.” Shawn declares solidly, shooting a glare at the two of you.
“I’m just going to.. go.”
You turn around and smile wickedly at Shawn, who watches through narrowed eyes as your former dance partner races away, “Aw, is someone jealous?”
His eyes flash to yours, and the fire in them knocks you breathless, “I think I’ve had enough of this party, haven’t you?” His voice is low, yet somehow you hear it clearly despite the loud music occupying the area.
Without waiting for your response, he takes your arm and steers you out of the party. You tried to wave him off, trying to escape his grasp in one quick motion, but he only tightens his grip quite tightly.
“Ow, that hurts.” You yelp; your wrist is twinging with pain at his tight grasp, but he doesn’t seem to care, “Let me go, Mendes.“
He finally stops when you reach outside the party venue, “You shouldn’t dance with him.”
“What?!” You said steam is probably radiating off of you, “Who are you to tell me what I can or cannot do?”
“Just don’t ever dance with him again, okay?!”
“Last time I checked, I am not yours,” You point a finger in his chest and stand close to his face, feeling your frustration and hurt building up, “I am not yours, so don’t you dare tell me what to do.”
“Yet, ”He grabs your hand, preventing you from walking away, “You are not yet.”
“Wh- -.”
He cups your face in his hands and kisses you forcefully, with abandon. Heat floods through you, and you melt. Your tongue matches each stroke of his, tasting the alcohol, the feistiness in his warmth. Your hand reaches up, running through his hair, and your head swims with the intensity of it all.
After a short while, he pulls away from you slowly, a small smile on his lips, “What do you say we get out of here?”
“Lead the way, Mendes.”

just a prank! | connor brashier x fem!reader :)
i turned on the small camera as it faced me.
i introduced the video and explained my plan, “okay so i’ve never pranked him before so i’m just going to see how this goes, i just need to make sure i don’t laugh or give it away,” i chuckled.
i hid the camera in a very covered area where he would never notice unless he was searching for it.
i laid on the sofa and shouted him into the living room.
“connor?”
“yeah,” he shouted from the top of the stairs.
“come here.”
i breathed deeply and tried to think of something sad as he walked towards me, i really gotta turn on my acting skills.
“yeah hunny?” he asked as he plopped himself on top of my body.
“connor get up, i want you to take this seriously,” i said without laughing. so far so good.
“what? what’s wrong?” he said now concerned.
“promise you won’t shout at me?”
“what? yeah yeah, i promise,” he said holding up his pinky. precious baby, this is gunna be hard.
i interlocked mine with his then dropped my hand, his following as they stayed connected.
“i-i think we should see other people.”
his face dropped and i could tell i caught him off guard.
“what? baby, what do you mean?”
“it’s just, i don’t know. i don’t feel the same spark that was there from the start.”
his eyes glossed over, “why? i do,” he said making my heart shatter for him. i just wanted to tell him it was a prank and give him the biggest hug ever and tell him how much i love him.
but it’s just a prank, so i can’t.
“i just- i don’t see you in my future,” i cringed at my words here i am telling this man he means nothing to me anymore when he literally means everything to me. he isn’t just a part of my future, he is my future.
i saw a few single tears spill but he was quick to lift his hand and wipe them away.
“what did i do wrong? i’ll change i promise, just tell me what i did,” he said in a panicky tone. he sounded desperate for an answer.
“connor you didn’t do anything, it’s not your fault. i’m just not in love with you anymore.”
that set him off.
silent sobs escaped his lips as his eyes closed, in hope to prevent any more tears falling.
“i don’t get it,” he mumbled through his sobs.
“i’m sorry, i didn’t mean for you to be so upset.”
instead of a reply, all i got was more and more cries coming from him.
i realized that it had gone on to far and decided to tell him. i couldn’t continue breaking him down.
i grabbed his cheeks and looked into his bloodshot, tear filled eyes.
“my love, it’s a prank. i still love you.” i told him, kissing him repeatedly.
“really?” he asked, genuinely quite shocked.
damn. i must be a good ass actress.
“yes connor,” i laughed at his relieved tone.
“wait, so you still love me?” he asked, sounding a little nervous for his answer.
“oh my god, of course i do hun,” you squished his cheeks and kissed his lips once more.
he let out a small sigh.
“where’s the camera?” he asked, laughing softly.
i pointed to the desk where it was hidden.
connor stood up and walked towards it. he picked it up and faced it towards him.
“everyone unsubscribe to y/n-“
i let out a laugh.
“oh my god, shut up connor!”

Boats, Best Friends, and Burgers
Shawn Mendes x Reader
Tumblr media
A girl with walls up against boys meets a boy at a party who whisks her into his world. Maybe love isn’t a distraction after all.
Y/N never considered herself naive nor trusting. She prided herself on how she kept to herself and protected her heart, unlike her college roommate or her friends who would throw themselves at boys when they do much as smiled or grasped their hand. No, Y/N would not destroy herself like that.
She had college, a tiring feat that would absolutely be even more deteriorated with the addition of a boyfriend, and Y/N liked being by herself, it gave her a peace and quiet without obligations. Y/N did not need the distraction of a relationship at all.
But that damn boat party changed everything.
“Y/N!” Connor shouted through the kitchen, his voice laced with despiration and a hint of whining. “You can’t just rot away in your apartment forever!”
“Mmm, I can and will.” Y/N lashed back, taking another drink from her bottle of Gatorade. She and Connor had been friends since Pre-K, the boy seemingly insisting on filling some big brother role (ironic, since Y/N was two months older than him). “You know I don’t do parties.”
Connor scoffed, shaking his head. “It wouldn’t kill you to do one! I’m only back in LA for a week before tour starts again, I want to spend time with my best friend.”
“You can. With pizza. And a movie. On the couch. Not on some boat out on the bay with hormone-ridden girls and boys reeking of testosterone.” Y/N reasoned, Connor grasping Y/N’s arms.
“Please. Just this one party. We go for an hour, and if you want to leave we’ll leave.” He begged.
Y/N let out a flamboyant groan, pouting her lips. “Fine! Fine. One hour.”
Connor let out a whoop, throwing his fists in the air. Y/N shook her head, hoping she’d suddenly contract a case of tuberculosis or the bubonic plague, both of which, in her opinion, would be a far more pleasant ordeal than that party.
Hours later Connor dragged Y/N onto the boat, the loud music and squealing of drunken girls flooding her senses. She turned to Connor about to beg if they could leave, but he gave her a rather pointed look, silencing that suggestion.
Y/N was definitely not dressed for the occasion. Boys dressed in the ugliest Hawaiian shirts and swim trunks, girls in tiny skirts and booty shorts with crop tops or bikinis. Y/N merely wore a pair of bermuda shorts and a John Mayer concert shirt from the summer.
Y/N slowly pushed through the crowd with her extroverted best friend, Connor shouting out and walking over to some friends. Y/N looked around, the ideas of Jell-O shots and grinding circles quickly becoming rather unappealing to her.
She soon caught sight of paradise! Alas! A island amongst the turbulent throng of sexual desires and rising blood sugar. An empty corner, back at the end of the boat. Y/N made a beeline there, humming with satisfaction as she was separated from the rioting mess.
Y/N leaned her elbows on the railing and looked out at the pinkish sunset over the city, closing her eyes and inhaling the salty breeze.
“Oh, shit.”
Her eyes snapped open and Y/N turned, seeing a tall curly haired boy standing a few feet from her. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see this corner was taken.”
Y/N nodded. “Yup. I’ve been here fifteen minutes and I’m pretty sure by the twenty mark I might start twerking or doing body shots off the lifeguard.”
The boy laughed, his fingers figeting nervously. “Not if I beat you to suddenly ripping my shirt off and seducing five girls at once.”
It was Y/N’s turn to laugh, her mind sending off sirens and screaming RUN AWAY! but she just couldn’t.
“I’d rather jump first.” She sighed.
“Oh God, me too. I’m so sick of these people.” He gasped out, leaning on the railing next to her. “One more girl pulls at my hair again and I’m going to have a mental breakdown buzz cut.”
Y/N smiled, holding out her hand. “Y/N.”
“Shawn.” He grinned, encasing Y/N’s hand in his giant one, shaking it firmly. “Nice to have someone who has a BAC of 0.0.”
“Maybe not. Perhaps they sweat it all off and it fumes. Maybe it’s like a second hand high, we’re just second hand drunk.” Y/N mused.
“Maybe.” Shawn agreed. “How’d you even get here? If you mind me asking, since you obviously don’t want to be here.”
Y/N let out a scoff of laughter. “My idiot best friend. He dragged me here out of guilt. He travels a lot, we don’t see each other much. You?”
“Friend as well. I’m traveling a lot too, said we needed to “wind down” I guess. Fucking Brashier...” Shawn muttered.
Y/N turned to Shawn, raising her eyebrows. “Brashier? Did you say Brashier?”
“Yeah. Why?” Shawn questioned.
“Oh my gosh...” Y/N laughed. “Connor dragged you here too.”
Shawn stared at her in confusion for a moment before bursting into laughter. “No way! You’re THE Y/N! Connor talks about you all the time!”
“Only good things I suppose.” Y/N responded.
Shawn shrugged, Y/N laughing and slapping him lightly on the arm. “That must make you Shawn Mendes, international pop superstar. Very impressive.”
He smiled, leaning back against the railing. “I guess I am. And you’re the Y/N who fell of a two story roof.”
“He did not—I gonna kill him!” Y/N gasped, the two laughing.
The night drifted on, the sky dark and glistening with stars as the two talked for hours. Y/N remembered clearly writing her number on his wrist before Connor took her home, herself wanting to slap the smug grin off the boy’s face.
Texts with Shawn became phone calls and FaceTimes, and soon dates. Y/N was tripping and falling so fucking deep for him. They stayed in contact during his European tour, him practically begging her to come with him on his North American tour. “You’re my anchor!” He exclaimed over the phone, Y/N blushing insanely. “You keep me grounded.”
So the playful shoves became the interlacing of hands, the smack talk over games of Mariokart became sweet pecks on cheeks. Y/N took a gap year off to follow him across the continent, because if he had breaken down the walls she spent so long building he was worth it.
The North American tour had wrapped up after many months, Y/N and Shawn enjoying lunch together before he had to leave for Asia. They devoured their burgers, laughing and talking while they basked in the time they had left.
Y/N had just finished her pickle-ketchup-cheddar burger when Shawn smiled up at her.
“Y/N L/N, I think I’m in love with you.”
Y/N looked up in surprise, Shawn leaning over the table with a smile. “Y/N, I know I am in love with you. And I need you to know it.”
She felt her heart race, a grin gracing her features. “Shawn Mendes, you somehow got me to love you too. No other man can boast as much.”
He smiled so bright grasping her hand as he leaned over the table, running his fingers through her hair as he connected his lips with hers.
Y/N deepened into the kiss, wanting nothing more but to melt into him and never end the sweet euphoria clouding her brain.
But, with the disdain of suffocation, they pulled away gasping for air. Y/N leaned her forehead against his.
Shawn laughed. “Boats, best friends, and burgers.”
“Best way into a girl’s heart.” Y/N whispered, grinning before grabbing either side of his face and crashing her lips against his again.

Word count: 3.2k -ish
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The day you were dreading for weeks was finally here.
 The morning of the big show in Toronto, and also the last concert of the North America tour, you quietly worked your way around the kitchen to get something to have for breakfast.
 Honestly when your best friend since childhood, Shawn, approached you last year asking if you wanted to join him and Brian on tour as his personal assistant, you didn’t think much was going to happen. Sure, you were blessed to be given the opportunity to travel around the world with your two best friends but you didn’t think you would get too attached to anyone on tour.
 Until you met Connor, of course.
 You met Connor late last year at a house party Shawn threw for his new tour family, in hoping to familiarize everyone with each other. So, yeah you met Connor briefly but you two didn’t talk much and you noticed he was the quite-shy type of person. That night after the party, you followed him on Instagram after seeing all the people Brian had tagged in his photos and he reciprocated it.
 You never saw Connor again until a few days before the tour started. He shyly approached you and introduced himself (like the gentleman he is) properly to you, and that was when you two started getting to know each other.
 It wasn’t even 3 weeks into the tour that everyone realized you two were very attached at hips. When there was Connor, there was you (for most of the time) and vice versa. You two did most of your work in pairs; he accompanied you on coffee runs and help you organize the tour schedules; you stayed up with him till the late morning while he edited footages and gave him your inputs on his montage ideas.
 And of course, it’s no surprise that the first one who catches on the little heart eyes you and Connor sneakily send to each other when the other one wasn’t looking, was Brian, who immediately told Shawn about it. The both of them could not stop teasing you and Connor separately about it until it completely annoyed you. Alessia and Liv caught on it not too long after the boys and the four of them basically made it their life mission to get you two together before the European leg of the tour ended. You didn’t know at what point their mischievous plans worked, but true enough you and Connor became a couple just like they knew you would
 The past few months have been absolutely crazy but you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. The late-night shenanigans with your friends, sneaking off with Connor for private date nights, crazy parties (4th of July and Shawn’s birthday to name a few) and the adrenaline rush from constantly waking up in different cities.
 As day passes by, you were getting more fearful for that one specific day where everything would end. The day where everything changes for the entire tour family because it was the last day where Connor, Alessia and Liv would still be around.
 “Morning baby” Connor snapped you out of your thoughts. You smiled softly to yourself as you lean back in his touch and let him press soft kisses to your neck “Whatcha thinking about, pretty lady?”
 “The past few months” You admitted; putting your hands over his and intertwining your fingers together “Thinking about how hectic it was”
 He chuckled lowly and you felt him nod against your neck “Yeah, it’s been the craziest times of my life”
 “Crazy in a good way?”
 “Crazy in the best way” Connor confirmed and slowly spun you around so you were facing him. He smiled softly and rest his hand on your cheek “Because I met you”
 You sighed and leaned forward so your cheek was pressed against his bare chest as you listen to the beating of his heart “I don’t know how I’m going to go on with the tour without you” You muttered softly, trying your best not to cry.
 “Hey,” He called and wrapped his arms around your body “We can worry about that when the time comes, baby. Tonight, we’re going to have the best night of our lives, you hear me? One last one for the road”
 Connor felt you nod against him and he pressed a kiss to your head “We’re going to be fine, babe”
 “There’s my favourite couple!” Another voice spoke up and totally ruining the moment you and Connor were having. Connor groaned at Brian’s voice as you let out a laugh and pushed yourself from Connor’s chest “Morning to you too, Bri”
 “What’re we having for breakfast?” Brian asked nonchalantly as he walked past you and Connor to drop his dirty mug in the sink.
 “Cereal” You answered, moving away from Connor and grabbed two extra bowls from the cabinet “There’s hot coffee waiting for you in the pot”
 “This is why we’re best friends, y/n” Brian sighs happily and went over to the coffee pot “Brashier, you’re lucky to have her ya know?”
 Your cheeks flushed when you noticed that adoring look Connor was sending your way “Yeah,” He agreed without hesitation “The luckiest”

“Your usual” You announced to Shawn as you handed him his coffee cup.
 Shawn looked at you gratefully as he sets his phone aside “Thanks, honey” He smiled, looking over your shoulder; expecting to find Connor not too far behind “Did you go alone?”
 “Yeah,” You shrugged and plopped down on the couch beside him “It was just a couple of blocks away”
“Connor didn’t go with you?” Shawn frowned after taking a sip of his drink “You two always go on coffee runs, no?”
 “Ah, that’s what you’re wondering” You chuckled, slipping your phone out of your pocket “But no, Andrew needed to talk to him about something. It’s fine, you know? Soon enough I’m going to be doing it on my own anyways”
 Shawn sensed that tone in your voice and he just knew you weren’t completely okay. He leaned forward and placed the cup on the table before turning his body to the side so he was facing you “Are you okay?”
 “Hm?” You looked up from your phone. When you saw the serious look he had on his face, your eyebrows furrowed “Yeah, I am. Why’re you asking?”
 “y/n” He warned “I know when you’re lying to me”
 You knew whatever poker face you had one was not working because Shawn could read you like a book; has been that way for as long as you could remember. You took a deep breath and exhale through your mouth, “It just hit me this morning that it’s the last day and it’s been bugging me”
 Shawn nodded understandingly, “Did you two talk about it?”
 You shook your head no “He said we’d worry about that when the time comes”
 Shawn knew you were going to continue so he kept quiet. “I don’t know how I’m going to do the tour without him” You told him shakily “We’ve been doing everything together, you know? How am I supposed to let go of that and fall back into a routine where it’s just me?”
 “Honey, you’re not alone” He confirmed, sliding an arm around your shoulder and let you rest against him. You started sniffling and he could tell you were silently crying “Hey,” Shawn called softly as he rubbed your arm “I know it sucks but Brian and I are still around, okay? You come to us anytime. I could go with you for coffee runs, Brian could help you out with the schedules, we’ll make it work”
 “And we’ll fly him out” Shawn promise, “Whenever you feel like you can’t handle it, we’ll get him to come out; doesn’t matter where we are. Everything’s going to be fine”
 “I can’t ask him to do that for me” You shook your head “He’s going back to UCLA, Shawn. I can’t be the selfish one to ruin his future just because I’m feeling clingy”
 “You are his future” He corrected, firmly “I’m telling you, y/n, Connor is so madly in love with you; that kid would walk to Antarctica if you asked him to”
 You let out a giggle as you wiped away your tears. Shawn pulled away from you so you two were facing each other “I bet you all think we’re one of those super cringey couples who can’t be away from each other for more than 5 seconds”
  “We definitely say that all the time,” Shawn shrugged “But we know how much you two complete each other. You two are good for each other” He added with a smile “Think about how shy he was to even hold your hand in the beginning, now he goes around yelling how everyone should be jealous he gets to kiss the most amazing girl in the world”
 You groaned, burying your face in your hands to hide the redness of your cheeks “He really didn’t have to embarrass me like that”
 “Come on, y/n, you know you love hearing it” He teased.
 “Shawn!” Tiffany pops her head into the green room “I need you next door to try on an outfit!” She ordered then smiled to you “Hi honey!”
 You smiled, waving to her “Hi Tiff”
 “Duty calls” Shawn said enthusiastically as he stood up and grabbed his cup “You’re going to be okay?” He asked you with concern.
 You nodded, standing up as well so you could give him a hug “Thank you,” You muttered against his shirt “Thank you for being my best friend, Shawn. I love you”
 He smiled softly and pressed a kiss to your head “We’re stuck for life, bug” He teased, knowing you hated the nickname he gave you when you two were seven “Love you too, dork”

 It was a tour ritual to have everyone from Shawn and Alessia’s team form a big circle before Alessia’s set and they both would give words of encouragements. Tonight’s one was a little more emotionally then you thought it would be. With Connor’s arm wrapped around your waist and your hand gripping onto Liv’s hand, you were trying to keep that fake smile on your face.
 “… It’s been the best few months” Shawn smiled warmly to all the people present “I couldn’t ask for a better team and to have Alessia with us for the European and NA tour has been truly amazing”
 “It really has been great” Alessia agreed with a smile and tears in her eyes “Thank you for keeping everything so fun and exciting every day. For all the laughter and smiles. It has been a blessing to be with everyone one of you”
 “Hell yes!” Brian exclaimed “Ten years from now, we’re going to think back about this tour and we’re going to get all emotional about it, because we knew we had a pretty sick time as one family!”
 Everyone laughs, most of them with teary eyes having to be separated from the people they’ve called family.
 “On three,” Shawn put his hand in and everyone follow suit. They huddled for once last time and cheered loudly together.
  “You are not going to make me cry right now” Alessia shook her head when Shawn requested that they (him, her, Brian, Connor, Liv and you) moved to the corner of the hall for a group talk “No way in hell, Mendes”
 Shawn laughs in return and slipped his arms around her and you while the six of you gathered in a circle “It’s been a fucking crazy ride, hasn’t it?”
 “That’s thanks to you, man” Connor spoke up from your other side. When you looked over at him, you noticed the tears in his eyes as he continued to speak “I’m so grateful that you took me along with you on this tour. It’s been so great having to work with you and being around all of you 24/7. I’m really going to miss it”
 “Shut up!” Brian cried, trying not to tear up “Shut up! Stop trying to make me cry!”
 The rest of you let out a laugh and Liv teased him “Craigen’s gone soft, huh?”
 “The rest of the tour is going to be great” Alessia stated with confidence “You’re going to kill it, Shawn. And knowing that Brian and y/n are still going to be around with you tells me that it’s not going to be boring for either of you”
 “Nothing’s going to be the same without you three” You shook your head with a sad smile on your face, “Exploring the cities aren’t going to be as fun as it was when it was the six of us. Everything is going to be so different”
 “We’re one video call away,” Liv promised “Wherever you are, whatever time it is, we’re there”
 “And you’ll be back before you know it” Connor confirmed as his grip around your waist tightened “Then we’ll meet up and go back to being complete idiots doing stupid shits together just like we were on tour” He grinned.
 Shawn chuckled, “That’s the plan, man” He nodded.
 “I love you guys, for real” Brian stated. “Group hug?”
 “Group hug!” Alessia exclaims as the six of you squeezed yourself in for a big tight hug for one last time.
 “Do you guys want a picture together?” Josiah spoke up from behind after you all pulled away. He was smiling, proud that he caught the moment of the group hug he knew was very special for the six of you.
 The six of you posed for him a few times as he took many photos and then Alessia was off to perform her set.
 You, Connor, Brian and Liv were standing by the tech booth near the front barricade for Alessia’s set. For every show, you tried your best to come out in the crowd with the other three during her performances, and now that you were watching her for the last time; you just knew you were going to miss seeing her go crazy on stage.
 “Tonight’s a bit special and also emotional for all of us,” Alessia spoke into the mic after the song ended “Tonight is my last show as the opening act for the Shawn Mendes tour. I wouldn’t have been able to perform in so many different cities so to Shawn and the crew, thank you so much for letting me be a part of this amazing experience. And to the fans, thank you for all your support. I love you all from the bottom of my heart”
 “As you know, I just released an EP today…”
 “And one of the songs talks about my entire experience of being a part of this tour,” She continued to explain while grabbing her guitar from the side. The crowd cheered loudly for her “About the people I’ve been blessed to meet and work with for the past few months”
 “So, this one is dedicated to my tour family” She concluded as the drum starts playing while the big screen behind her starts a countdown from 3 to 1.
 It started with that old video of the six of you from Germany that Connor filmed; exploring the city late at night after a couple of drinks in the bar. The video continues to more random moments throughout the tour that were filmed by different people.
 Tears were forming in your eyes as all the memories came rushing in while looking at the short clips projected on the big screens. The ones of you, Alessia and Liv lip syncing to a song you couldn’t remember; Shawn and Brian pulling the whipped cream prank on Connor; dance sessions; playing tag around the arenas together; silly rehearsal sessions with the bands; water gun fights by the lake.
 You turned around from her, feeling all these emotions rushing into your body. When you met Connor’s gaze, you saw the tears in his eyes as well. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into his chest. The crowd was singing along with her as you let the tears roll down your cheeks, burying your head in the crook of his neck.
 “Baby,” He muttered in your ear “I love you”
 He pushed you away just enough to look at your face. Connor wiped your tears away and you smiled at him softly, mouthing “I love you too” before tip-toeing and pressing your lips against his.
 The arena was so loud but at that moment, it felt like it was just you and Connor in the room. And to you, that was the only thing that mattered.
 xxx
 “’M tired” Connor muttered as he slips into bed behind you around 1am. He wraps his arms around your body and pulled you closer “Can we sleep through the morning tomorrow?”
 You laughed softly and turn your body to face him. The room was dark except for the table lamp illuminating low light from Connor’s side of the bed. You nodded, “Whatever you want, bub”
 Connor sleepily smiled at you and laced your fingers together “Shawn told me what happened” He admitted a minute later.
 You huffed in annoyance that your best friend ratted you out when you thought he would’ve kept quiet about it “Of course he did”
 “You know I’d go anywhere with you, right?” He asked “I’d walk to you if you asked me to”
 You snorted, thinking back to the exact thing Shawn said earlier in the day “Yeah, Shawn said the same thing”
 “I would love to continue the tour” Connor stated as he brought his hand up to your head and ran his fingers through your hair “I want nothing more to be with you, babe”
 “But UCLA” You answered for him when you noticed the pause in his sentence. He smiled sadly and nodded “I get it, bub, I do” You told him.
 “I promised my parents” He said softly “I promised them I’d put university on hold for 6 months max and it took me a lot of convincing to make them agree”
 “I’m not asking you to go against your parents, Con” You shook your head “But I can’t deny that tour is going to be hard without you”
 “I know, sweetheart” Connor said with sympathy “But it’s just 3 months, okay? I promise it’s gonna be quick and then we’ll see each other in December”
 You nodded “Yeah, I guess. And hey, what’d you think if I enrolled there next year?”
 “UCLA?” He asked surprisingly “Really? Wasn’t University of Toronto the plan?”
 You shrugged, “It was the plan because I wasn’t open to any other options but now… Maybe I can start looking around outside of Canada too. Shawn’s taking a break from performing next year so he doesn’t need his personal assistant”
 “You coming to UCLA would be the dream come true for me, love” Connor sighed happily “But what about your parents?”
 “My parents would say yes if I told them I wanted to study in the UK” You said in a teasing voice “So, I think they’d be fine with me studying in LA, babe”
 “Come to LA after Christmas and I’ll show you around the campus” He said before letting out a yawn “Make sure it’s really what you want, you know?”
 “Mhmm, sounds like a plan” You agreed “Now let’s sleep, pretty boy. Shawn has that party tomorrow night and that idiot is going to get all of us so wasted till we can’t walk”
 Connor chuckles lowly, before leaning forward and pressing a soft kiss to your lips “I love you, babe”
 “Love you too, bubs”

Shawn’s POV
“Shawn, hey. It’s great to see you, man.”
“Brashier, I’m so glad you decided to do this tour with us again. I think this is going to be our best one yet. That last one was great, but I want to pull out all the stops with this one.” I clasp and unclasp my hands in front of me on the table.
“Yeah, of course! You just tell me what you’re looking for and I will make sure we get it in the film.”
“Great, yeah.” I fidget in my seat, “But um, before we get into it, I just have to ask… How – how is she?”
“Shawn, I don’t-”
“Please? I won’t ask about her again. I just want to know if she’s doing okay.”
He nods, “She’s doing good. She’s been staying with me since the breakup.”
I take in a deep breath, “Oh. Well that’s good.”
“Yeah.” Connor clears his throat and looks down, rubbing his hands over his jeans.
“So, the project.” He says, finally breaking the unbearable silence.
“Right, the project. Yes. So, I really liked the behind the scenes stuff you’d got. Like not just the before show rituals, but I liked how you included the band more. I really want to do that again. I want to make sure they’re a huge focus in this thing too. Because you know, they’re giving up more than me to do this. They have wives and kids. You know, a family to look after. I just want to see more of them.”
He nods and bites the inside of his cheek. “Yeah, completely understand. I’ll make sure to get more of them. What else?”
I run my hand through my hair. “Well I also want to focus on the fans. We got so many shots of me and them. Like the In My Blood run through, but I want to see them. They’re reactions. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them and I want to showcase that. Really, truly showcase it.”
He opens his mouth to say something but stops when his phone rings. He pulls it out of his pocket with a puzzled look. “Sorry, I have to take this.”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
I step out of the room and hold the phone to ear. “Honey? Everything okay?”
Honey? Is he dating somebody?
“Tell me what?”
“It’s a girl?” He chokes out. “Oh my god. That’s – god – Mae is gonna be so loved, love.” He sniffles. “Fuck.”
“Is she healthy? Then that’s all I care about.”
I scratch the back of my neck. Is Connor having a baby? Who with? He never mentioned a girlfriend. I straighten up when he walks back into the room, wiping at his eyes.
“Sorry about that. Where were we?”
“You okay, Brash?”
He chuckles, “I’m so good.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, y/n’s having a girl.”
I nod, the words only taking a second to register. “Wait, y/n’s what?” I stand from my seat I must have heard him wrong.
“Oh fuck.” He covers his mouth. “Fuck. I wasn’t supposed to say anything.”
“Y/n’s pregnant?”
He doesn’t answer and my fists clench in my lap. I want to hit him.
“Are you the father?”
“Shawn-” I don’t let him finish before I’m rushing out of the room and out of the building to my car. “Shawn, stop!”
“Is she pregnant?” I ask again, furious as I yank my car door open.
“Yes,” he says lowly.
I scoff and duck into my car, turning it on and backing out in just seconds. Pregnant. My ex-girlfriend is pregnant. And it’s my videographer’s baby. I want to kill him. I turn on my blinker and merge onto the highway. I know I shouldn’t do this. I know it’s not my place. Not anymore. But I can’t stop myself from doing this. I pull into his driveway before I know it and part of me is completely devastated to see her car here.
I rush out of the car and knock on the front door, a little more forcefully than I would have liked, but it’s too late now. When she doesn’t answer after ten seconds, I knock again, and that’s when Connor pulls into the driveway. I roll my eyes. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
“Shawn, stop it. I can explain everything okay?”
“I don’t want to hear it from you, Brashier. I want to hear it from her.” I groan, “God dammit. Why isn’t she opening the door?”
“Fuck, okay. I will let you in, but you have calm down, alright? I can’t let you near her like this.”
“Or what? I’m not going to hurt her… You on the other hand. I’m having a hard time not punching you in the face.”
He sighs, “That’s fair, I guess. Just –” He’s cut off by the door unlocking and opening.
“Shawn? What are – what are you doing here?”
She’s wearing a baggy sweater, making it hard for me to see if she’s even showing. I push past her and into the house, Connor right on my heels.
“Shawn,” Connor pleads.
“I – are you?” I let out a deep breath, “Are you pregnant?”
“What?”
“Are. You. Pregnant.”
“Connor, did you-?”
“I’m sorry. It slipped out. You just told me it was a girl, I wasn’t thinking. I was so happy and I just-”
“I told you I was gonna tell him myself.”
“Can somebody fucking tell me something? Are you pregnant?”
She sighs, and scrubs her hands over her perfect, makeup free face. “Yes.” She says finally.
I thread my fingers through my hair with a bitter laugh. “I’m gonna kill you,” I point to Connor, taking long strides to him “You lying, cheating, piece of shit.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Shawn, stop it!” Y/n steps between us, her hand on my chest. I look down at her, “What are you talking about?”
“It’s his, isn’t it?”
“What? Mendes is that-”
“You stop talking!” I say to him. “I want to hear it from her.”
“He’s not the father, dickhead. You are.”
“I am?” My harsh demeanor quickly changes as I look down at her. “We’re – we’re having a baby?”
“I’m having a baby.”
“But it’s mine.”
“Yeah, but we’re not together.”
“So what? You were just going to keep this from me? Have my fucking child and not tell me?”
“I was going to tell you!”
“When? Ten years from now?” When she doesn’t answer, I know that’s what she had planned on doing. “That’s my kid, y/n!”
“I know it is! God, I know she is! But what was I supposed to do, Shawn? We’re broken up. It’s not exactly a casual form of conversation. I didn’t really feel like responding to your album release news with a congratulations and ‘hey you’re gonna be a father.’ Okay?”
“No, not okay. I deserved to know about this whether we’re together or not.”
“I didn’t tell you because you have so much going on. The album, the tour. You can’t exactly handle a pregnant ex-girlfriend too.”
“That doesn’t matter!” I seethe. “You can’t keep it away from me. I’ll fight for custody if I have to.”
“Whoa, hey, Shawn. It’s not gonna come down to that.” Connor says, but we both ignore him.  
She crosses her arms over her chest. “You want to fight? Fine. But think about what that would do to your career. Not only would it be everywhere that I’m having a baby, but now it’s a custody battle? Do you really want your child to be forced into the spotlight before they’re even born?! The media is going to tear you apart. Tear me apart. I didn’t sign up for that. And I absolutely do not want that for my baby.”
Our baby. “We can keep it quiet! The media doesn’t have to know.”
She scoffs, “Yeah because it’s that easy. You’re Shawn fucking Mendes. You don’t have privacy anymore. You can’t keep a whole ass baby a secret. A whole fight for custody? Your family has to know, my family has to know, your team has to know. And no offense to your team, but someone is bound to slip and then all hell will break loose. There is no way to do this quietly with you.”
“What do you want me to do then? Quit? Because I will!” I reach for her waist but she retreats, making her way closer to Connor. I don’t know if she does it consciously, but something in me believes that there’s more going on than just friendship between them.
“And do what? Resent me for ruining your career?”
“Look, I’ll take time away from the spotlight and we’ll figure everything out.”
“You can’t! You go on tour next year!”
“I’ll cancel it! We can fix this. Fix us.” I point from me to her and she looks down with sad eyes.
“There’s no us, bubba. Me being pregnant doesn’t change that. A baby doesn’t mean we’re supposed to get back together. It doesn’t mean that. It can’t mean that.”
“Why not? Maybe this is what we needed? This is what was supposed to happen. What’s supposed to bring us back to what we used to be.”
She shakes her head, “No. I can’t be with you like that. Not anymore.”
“But-”
“I wish things were different, but this is what it is, Shawn.”
I feel like the air is being sucked from lungs just like it was months ago when she first said it. “Come on. Please… just come home with me.” I’m on my knees in front of her, pleading. “We can talk about this. We can figure this out. We can be together or not. I just – I have to be part of this baby’s life. It’s a girl? Let me be in her life.”
She sighs and when she looks at Connor, I know that she’s not doing this alone. But it kills me that she’s not doing this with me. “I don’t want to keep you from her. I’ve never wanted that. But I can’t do this right now. Okay? I can’t fight with you about this anymore.” She squats in front of me and takes my face in her hands. “Just give me time. Give me that.”
“How long is that gonna take?” I ask, locking my fingers in hers.
“I don’t know. But it’ll be soon. I’ll call you.”
I sigh, my eyes closed. “Can I – I know this’ll sound stupid,” I remove my hands from hers and look down at her stomach which is now showing just a little bit in her bunched-up sweater. “Can I feel her?”
She chuckles and it’s a sound I didn’t think I was ever going to hear again. “She’s not moving yet, but yeah.” She stands up and lifts her shirt enough for me to see the small bump. My hands reach for her and I rest my head against her stomach, kissing it once.
“We made that?” I ask in disbelief and I knew it was the wrong thing to say because she pulls her shirt down quickly after the words leave my mouth.
“I think it’d be best if you went home now.”
---
Y/n’s POV
I let out a sigh of relief when he’s finally out the door. But the relief is short lived when Connor opens his mouth.
“Y/n, I’m so sorry.”
I shake my head, “I don’t want to talk about it. I need to go process all of this. And try to figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do about him seeing her once she’s born.”
“Let me help you.”
“No, I need to do this alone.” I walk past him but he grabs my hand, keeping me from going any farther. Neither of us move closer.
“Honey, please don’t be mad at me. I didn’t mean for it to come out.”
I stare down at his feet and take in a deep breath. “I know. I shouldn’t have asked you to keep this secret in the first place.”
“Y/n/n, please look at me.” The hand not holding mine slips under my chin and he lifts my head. “Please tell me you’re not mad.”
“I’m not mad at you.”
He frowns, “You’re lying.”
“No, I’m not. I’m not mad at you. I promise.” I rest my forehead against his. “I’m mad at myself,” I admit. “I put you in a compromising position and I hate that it came to this. And I’m mad at him for coming at you. I’m mad at him for thinking that I would jump in bed with you the second I leave him. He knows we’re not that way. He knows that. And I’m mad that he would think so little of not just me, but you. You’re his friend, you wouldn’t do that.”
“Hey, it’s okay.”
“No, it’s not, Connor. But in any case, why should it be his business if I was with you? How does that affect him?”
He shrugs, “Well, I mean. Right now, I get it. He thinks I’m trying to swoop in and take his place as Mae’s father.”
“But you’re not! You’re just – you’re my best friend. You weren’t about to let me do this by myself.”
“And he’ll understand that. In time. But just like you need that time to process, I think he does too. You’ve known for months, but he just found out he’s gonna be a dad. I think you both need time to figure out what’s best for you and the baby.”
“And what if he thinks the best is us getting back together?”
“You still have a say in that. Look, I know you’re not in love with him anymore. But who’s to say that those feelings won’t come back after this?”
“They won’t.”
“You don’t know that.”
I sniffle, “Okay. So what do I do if they come back? Do I just up and leave you? Like you haven’t been here for me through this whole thing?”
“Hey, I’ll still be here. And no matter what you choose. I’m gonna support you one million percent. I’m in your corner for the rest of our lives. Get back with him or don’t. Let him fight for custody or don’t. Develop feelings for me or don’t, because let’s face it, now that you’re living with me, it’ll be kinda hard not to fall in love with me.”
I laugh and hit his arm. “Stop it.”
“I’m just saying,” he chuckles, “I know I have that irresistible charm.”
“You’re an idiot.”
“An idiot that just wants what’s best for his best friend.”
I nod, pulling away from him. “How many times can I say thank you before it becomes redundant?”
“I think we reached that point many years ago.”
I nod, “I’m gonna go to my room. I have a lot to think about.”
“You want me to call in dinner?”
I check the time on my phone. “It’s still early.”
“I know, just thinking ahead.”
“Yeah. Just not Chinese? I can’t handle the smell.”
“Right, the egg rolls got you last time. I’ve got it.”
“I love you, Connor,” I say and kiss his cheek.
He smiles softly, “I love you too.”
---
“This view is probably my favorite thing in the world,” I tell Shawn, staring out the large window of his living room.
“You’re my favorite view,” he mumbles into my neck, his hands slipping under my shirt.
I roll my eyes, “So cheesy, Mendes.”
“I can’t help it. You make me soft.”
“That is definitely not what you were saying last night,” I tease.
“Hey,” he warns, pinching my side. “You weren’t complaining then.”
“Well, how could I?”
He presses a soft kiss to my temple and then rests his chin on my shoulder. He stares out the window with me, watching the rain hit the ground and rooftops and awnings. “Love?” he says after a short while of silence.
“Hmm?”
“Would it be too scary to talk about the future right now?”
“What about it?”
“Like our future?” he says, his voice timid.
I turn in his arms, “What about our future, rockstar?”
“Do you see us having one?”
I run my fingers over his high cheekbones. “That’s a silly question. Of course, I do.”
“Like getting married? And having kids?”
I nod, “Yeah, those would be some of things I think about.”
“How many?”
“Kids?”
He nods, running his thumb lazily over my hip.
I think it over for a second. “Two. And if those are really good, maybe three. What about you?”
“I don’t care how many we have. As long as I have them with you.” He kisses the tip of my nose and I can’t help but laugh, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“That’s a pretty good answer there.”
“What about getting married?”
“That is something I would like to do,” I answer nonchalantly.
“Me too. But I mean, I guess the real question is: would you take my last name?”
“Absolutely. I mean, just listen to how cute y/n Mendes sounds. I would be a fool not to take it. And you said it yourself, don’t be a fool.”
He laughs, one of those big, hearty laughs that I never get tired of hearing. “Are you always gonna use my lyrics against me?”
“Forever, baby.”
“Hey, so I know that having kids is a very distant thing right now. But we can practice, right?”
I bite my bottom lip, nodding. “I think practicing is a good idea.”
“Y/n, what’s wrong?” Connor comes into view, kneeling by my bedside.
I take in a shuddery breath, and place my hand over his, hoping for the contact to offer me some type of relief, but it doesn’t. I just let out a choked sob and he springs from his spot, wrapping his arms around me the best he can without crushing me and Mae.
“Breathe for me, honey. Come on, in and out. In. One, two, three. And out. One, two, three, four, five.” I do as he instructs and he rubs soothing circles over my back. “Good, again.”
“Connor,” I say softly after I’ve finally centered myself.
“I’m here.”
“I don’t know if I can do this.”
“Do what?”
“Be a parent. Co-parent with Shawn.”
“Why?” he asks, but it isn’t accusatory like I’m expecting it to be.
“We talked about kids. Wanting them, raising them. Our kids were gonna have two parents. Two loving parents. We were supposed to do this together. We were supposed to be together, raising her, and now? Now what?”
“You’re still gonna do this. And he’s gonna be part of Mae’s life. You’re gonna love her. He’s gonna love her. I’m gonna love her. This child will not be short on love, okay? You should not feel guilty because you’re not with him.”
“I can’t do this alone. I’m not enough for her.”
“You are not doing this alone, y/n. I’m right here. Shawn’s right there. You aren’t alone in this. I would never let that happen.”
I whimper, falling into his chest. “I’m scared I’ve messed everything up before it’s even happened.”
“You didn’t mess anything up.”
“I should have told him.”
“He knows now.”
“If Shawn fights for custody-”
“If he fights, then let him.”
“But his career. This’ll be everywhere. Every single news outlet will be down his throat. It’s not fair, or right. He can’t do this quietly because of who he is and it’s not fair to him.”
Connor chuckles and I pull back. “Why are you laughing? I’m serious.”
“I know you are. That’s why I can’t help it. You’re not worried about him bringing this to court, you’re worried about what people will think of him. That’s… the most you thing you’ve ever said. He’s not worried about any of that. Why are you?”
“Because he worked hard for what he has. I don’t want anyone thinking less of him because his ex-girlfriend is pregnant. They could spin it around, saying he walked out on us. And if they find out about it and he doesn’t fight, I don’t want them to think he doesn’t care. That he’s doing nothing. I don’t want this to be a bigger deal than it needs to be. He’s had to put up with so much of his life being in the media. He doesn’t need this out there too.”
He sighs and takes the sides of my face before pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead. “You’re precious, y/n y/l/n.”
“Connor, stop.”
“No, I’m serious. You could be so selfish in a time like this and you’re not. You’re worried about your ex-boyfriend because you don’t want anyone to think less of him.”
I scoff and bring my hand to my lips, biting subconsciously at my nails (A habit that I thought I had kicked years ago), “Why does it suddenly feel like I’m falling headfirst from a thirty-story building.”
He takes my hand and kisses my knuckles. “I’ve got you now, honey. I won’t let you fall.” He stays with me until I fall asleep, murmuring soft nothings into my hair. “You’re gonna be a great mother, y/n. I know you are,” he says quietly.
“Con?”
“Yeah?”
“Can you help me with something.”
“Anything. What is it?”
“Help me figure out this custody thing. I want something fair without the court.”
He places a soft kiss to my forehead, “Okay. Whatever you want.”

things are changing | pt. 2
A/N: Alrighty, part 2 is up! This is completely different from what I was orginally going to do and I still don't know what I think about it but here it is!! Thank you to all the anon that sent me cute beach ideas! Also, thank you @peoplesayimemo for helping me and teaching me about surfing and with this entire chapter lol! Please let me know what y’all think will happen next! xxx
Part 1
                          *******************
Despite how happy you were that Shawn came with you all to breakfast, it did not last long. About 10 minutes after sitting down, his phone started to ring. He dismissed it, keeping the conversation going; it was hard to though because about five seconds later, it rang again. 
“Shawn, if you need to get that…” You started saying. His curls shook as he answered. 
“No, no.” Shawn said, holding his phone. “See, it’s fine.” The phone finally stopped ringing for more than 5 seconds. Shawn wrapped his arm around the back of your chair once he leaned back, his fingertips lightly brushing up against your arm; goosebumps dancing across your skin. You felt his stares on you as you looked down at the menu. What you didn’t notice were the bright, blue eyes staring at the two of you. 
“Hey, tonight there is a big festival in-“ You started saying to Shawn, but his phone interrupted. Again. Even though you didn’t see the name, you knew who it was deep down. Shawn sent you an apologetic look. 
“Just give me one minute.” Shawn said before standing up and making his way towards the bathroom. You smile at Connor and Brian, not letting it show how much it bothered you. Connor gave you a big smile back, instantly easing you. 
“What were you saying?” Brian asked as drinks were placed in front of you. You thank the waitress as she places the hot beverage in front of you, taking a small sip from it. 
“There is a carnival thing on the boardwalk tonight. Thought maybe we could go?” You asked the two guys in front of you. Connor immediately agreed. 
“Sounds like fun.” Connor commented, smiling. You perked up. Before anyone else could say anything, Shawn came back over to the tables. You smiled, expecting him to sit back down. 
“I am so sorry.” Shawn started saying and you already knew what was happening. “I have to go, Ca-“ 
“Camilla.” You said with him, already knowing the drill. “See you at the beach.” Shawn smiled sadly, before leaning down to hug you. 
“I swear, we will hang out at the beach.” Shawn whispered in your ear; his expression falling when you didn’t answer or look at him. Shawn sighed before kissing your forehead lightly and walking out, waving at everyone else. 
Shawn stopped walking outside as once he caught sight of you through the window. His whole body heating up when he saw Connor move into the spot he previously occupied; his eyes following at the LA natives hand that gently touched yours. His heart stopped when he saw a smile forming on your lips again. Sadly, he wasn’t the cause of it. 
            ****************************************
A few hours later, everyone was down at the beach, relaxing and having fun. Trying to make the best of the day, you didn’t let it bother you that Shawn has yet to try and hang out with you. He was busy with her and her family. 
Alessia, Liv and you were laying out on the sand, talking and goofing around. Since the beginning of tour, you immediately clicked with the two and were thankful for it. It was nice to have some girl time. Alessia was taking a few pictures while you were lying on your stomach. Connor, of course has his camera also, and you were the center of his work today; not that you noticed yet. He lowered his camera and came to sit down by you. 
“Hey guys.” He said, planting himself down on the many towels you had set out. You smiled and grabbed the camera from him. Positioning it to face up at him, you snapped a photo. He was smirking lightly but kept his eyes on the water a few yards away. The picture made you speechless. He was gorgeous as hell and didn’t even realize it. “Having fun?” Connor asked, turning his bright eyes to you. 
“I am.” You answered honestly. Once you got over not spending time with your childhood friend and began focusing on others, you really did start having fun. He smiled but before he could say anything, a flash of white jumped on you. His concern settling at the sound of you laugh. 
“Hi. Who are you?” Your voice went high as you pet the white, lab puppy that was sitting in your lap now. “Where’s your family baby?” You continued to ask the puppy questions as if it would answer you. Connor watched with a smile as you scratch behind the lab’s ears. He couldn’t help himself and snapped a picture as you laid back down, the puppy following your move. Alessia and Liv began cooing at the puppy along with you. The little pup loving all the attention. 
“Oh my god, I am so sorry about him.” A younger girl, about 13, rushed over to you. You saw that she had a leash in her hands and assumed this little guy took off. You all brushed off her worry. 
“Oh, don’t worry. He is adorable.” You said, placing the puppy back into her hands. You pout once the dog is out of view. “I miss him already.” You longingly stare. Connor rolled his eyes at your dramatics. 
“Come on.” Connor said, standing up and offering a hand. You look at him questioningly but still let him pull you up. “It is time to teach you how to surf.” Connor clarified, leading you down to the little shack on the beach, where you could rent boards. Immediately after his explanation, you dig your heels into the ground to prevent you from moving. 
“Oh no. I don’t think-“ Connor pulled at your arm. The two of you began bickering back and forth; him trying to convince you and you refusing. “Connor, I am like the most uncoordinated person ever, and that’s on land! I can’t stand up on a board, that on a fucking moving wave. And you aren’t even listening to me.” You ranted, seeing him look around the beach, purposely ignoring you. 
“Okay.” Connor said, and for a second you thought he was going to listen, but you should’ve known. He randomly throws you over his shoulder and marches over to the shack, ignoring all your protests and threats. He begins speaking to the worker, both completely ignoring you like it was a normal thing to have a girl hang over someone’s shoulder against her will. “Stop pouting and listen so you don’t drown on me. I kinda like having you around.” Connor smiled cheekily at you once he set you on your feet. A worker brought over two boards, laying them down in the sand. 
“You are lucky that you are cute.” You said, not even thinking about what came out of your mouth before plopping down on the sand by the boards, waiting for instructions. Connor blushed at your words. 
“Umm, okay.” Connor composed himself, but his smile got even bigger than before. Connor begins explaining the basics for surfing. Showing you to push up from under your ribs, where to put your feet as you stand up to help you balance. As hard as you tried to listen and focus, you couldn’t. All your focus was on how his arms flexed as he demonstrated how to push up, or his back muscles when he showed you to use your arms to swim out. His perfectly tan, lean body. 
“so, what do you think?” Connor asked, and you realized he was done and standing. His eyebrows raised. You nodded. “You have no idea what I just said, do you?” Not even trying to make an excuse, you shook your head. 
“Okay, I swear. One more time and I’ll go through it with you.” Connor agreed and you decided it was worst than the first lecture. His hands were your only focus as they gently brushed up on your legs as he adjusted your position. His chest to your back as you practiced standing on the board. 
“Good.” He whispered at your stance but all you could focus on was his chest on your back and his breath lightly fanning against your neck. Connor noticed you suck in breath at his close proximity and smirked. I do have an effect on her, he thought. 
“Let’s go.” You said and followed his lead as he grabs his own board. Everything was going great. You paddled out correctly and only got about half a galloon of water in your mouth. Now, you sat on the board waiting for a baby wave to come for you to try out. Connor was being a showoff, however. He pulled himself up perfectly and rode it out. His smile caused a big one from you. 
“Now, you are just showing off.” You said as he paddled back over to you. 
“Maybe I’m trying to impress a pretty girl.” He smiled at the blush that appeared on your cheeks. You lightly pushed his chest, not taking his compliment. He could have so many other girls. Hell, there were dozens on this beach that have been staring at him. Before you could float away from him, he gently grabbed your hand and pulled you closer. The two boards touching as were your legs but he kept a tight grip on your hand so the waves wouldn’t drift you away. “You don’t believe me?” He asked. 
“I believe you. I just,” You began, slightly stuttering. “I just… didn’t really believe that someone, someone like you could go for a girl like me.” You shrugged your insecurities aside, but Connor didn’t. 
“A girl like you?” Connor repeated. “You mean an amazing girl, who literally lights up a room when she walks in it? You mean a girl who is so loyal and fierce? You mean a girl who literally stays up with someone all night, so they don’t have to work alone? You mean a girl who has the most caring, thoughtful soul I have ever met and is beautiful inside and out?” Connor listed. You were a little shocked. The two of you flirt constantly, but you assumed it was just for fun. 
“I… I  didn’t know.” You didn’t know what to say to him. You didn’t realize he thought any about you like that. But the thought of him thinking about you made your heartbeat a million miles an hour. 
“You have no idea how much more I could say about you. I wish you saw yourself the way I do. The most beautiful girl I have ever met.” He whispered. He began leaning, his eyes flickering from yours down to your lips. His lips were about to touch yours when a big force knocks both of you over. Connor’s laugh is the first thing you hear once you surfaced. He was holding onto both of the surface boards but laughing his head off. 
“Shut up.” You roll your eyes as you grab your board. You tried not to smile but his laugh was contagious. The way his eyes got even brighter than ever. The small, barely notice wrinkles around his eyes. You couldn’t help yourself. 
“What-“ Connor was about to ask when you got closer to him. Your lips pressed against his; one of your arms went around his neck as the other hung onto the board. He immediately responded. His lips moving gently against yours. It was a simple and sweet. Connor’s lips left yours and pressed his forehead on yours. He watched as your eyes remained close and it would’ve sent him into a panic, but he saw the smile present on your lips. 
“That was-“ You started, breathless. Connor smiled at you. Neither of you wanting to leave the little bubble you created. Both oblivious to the world around you and all the eyes staring. Especially the set of brown, hazel eyes that belonged to a certain rockstar. Whose heart was in his stomach as he watched the girl he is in love with kiss another guy.

Better Half
(A/N: i seriously missed writing connor blurbs more than i can even explain!! oh and this is told from connor’s pov btw! anyways i hope you enjoy this lol)
Summary: You tried cooking Connor breakfast like he always does for you, even though you don’t cook whatsoever. Well it ends up turning into a big mess but he saves the day. I mean, you are each other’s better halves.

Tumblr media

A groan left my throat as I waved my arm around the sheets, searching for something that apparently wasn't there.
I lifted my head up and cracked one eye open in the bright morning sun to see that she wasn't anywhere to be found.
My eyes found the bathroom that was open and empty as well. I pulled myself to the edge of the bed to see if she fell off while she was sleeping again and grunted when she wasn't there.
"Y/n?" I whispered.
No response. I fell back onto the bed and rubbed my eyes, blinking slowly as to adjust to the day before finally getting up. I looked down at my bare chest and sweatpants and decided that putting on a shirt wasn't worth the effort right now, got up and walked to the door of our room.
Once I opened the door and walked out a few feet, I heard some noises coming from our kitchen downstairs.
Maybe she's getting some cereal? I heard a few clanking sounds of pots or pans. Maybe it's a hungry burglar?
I listened a little closer as I walked down the stairs and could hear some angry mumbling that I definitely recognized as my Y/n's. Is she actually cooking for me? She never cooks.
My heart melted at the thought and I quickly, but quietly, made my way down the rest of the stairs so I could watch around the corner.
"Okay, now that its all mixed together I need to spray the pan and then I can cook it. Right?" She asked herself, looking at her phone that she had propped up against a stack of cooking books.
I laughed quietly to myself as I pictured her trying to use a cooking book before giving up and finding a video on YouTube.
"Okay so now I poor in the egg stuff," she trailed off as she carried a large mixing bowl to the stove.
I held my breath for a moment seeing as she had the flame as high as it would go and she was already struggling with the nearly full bowl of omelette mixings.
Please don't spill them. Please don't spill them. Please don't spill them.
I jumped down from the stairs when she lost grip of the bowl and all of the contents spilled over the counter, most luckily avoiding the stove.
Y/n quickly grabbed a dish towel from in front of the stove to try to clean up the mess that was continuing to spill onto the stove and screamed when the rag caught on fire.
"Baby, watch out," I spoke quickly taking the rag from her hand and tossing it into the sink that had been full of dishwater before turning off the stove.
I grabbed some paper towels and made a barrier between the stove and countertop to stop the mess from spreading too much before turning to look at Y/n.
I tried to look stern but I forgot almost immediately when I saw her standing there, tears in her eyes, and her left hand gripping her right wrist.
"I'm so sorry, Con. I just wanted to make you breakfast like you do for me and then I nearly caught the whole house on fucking fire and-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, stop." I stepped in front of her and put both of my hands on her cheeks, making her look at me.
"Don't beat yourself up, I think that you are an amazing cook and do you want to know why?" She didn't answer, just blinked and sniffled a little. "Because you keep trying," I pushed a strand of hair back from her face, tucking it behind her ear. "And about the whole setting the house on fire," I pulled her in towards me in a hug, tucking her head beneath my chin.
"Nothing bad will ever happen as long as you let me be there to help you. Just like how I need you there to help me so that I don't do something dumb like build a skate ramp in our backyard and some other stupid shit that i blame Brian for making me want to do." I felt her let out a small laugh, her breath warming my still bare chest.
I kissed the top of her head before leaning back and sliding my hands down her arms to take a hold of her hands. I quickly let go when she let out a hiss at me touching her wrists.
"What? What's wrong? What did I do?" I could hear the panic in my own voice but I was too nervous that I had hurt her to care.
"No, no. It wasn't you," she sighed, lifting her right arm to show me the red burn that covered her hand around her thumb. It wasn't too horrible a burn but it was definitely going to blister.
"I think it happened when the rag caught on fire." Her cheeks were bright red, thin shiny tracks running down them from some of her tears spilling over from her eyes.
"Come here," I whispered, pulling her towards the kitchen island that hadn't been spilled on and I lifted her to sit on the counter. I went to our bathroom to grab our first aide kit and stood in between her legs.
After a few minutes of her giving me instructions on dressing her wound, she was all wrapped up and nearly done sniffling. I looked up from her wrist, into her eyes.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Mhmm," she hummed in response, leaning back. "I'm just sad. I wanted so bad to make you a breakfast and I couldn't even do a simple omelette without starting a fire. What fiancé can't even do a simple omelette?"
"I mean, one day we might have kids and they're going to need food and all I can do is cereal! I'm going to be a useless mother and wife. God I'm already a useless fiancé." Tears were streaming down her face at this point and my heart felt like it could break.
"Don't say that." My voice came out deep and gruff, anger very clear in my tone. Her eyes widened in surprise before I continued.
"I will not allow a single person on this planet, including you, talk about the love of my life like that. You have so many great qualities that make you a fantastic fiancé and will make you an even more fantastic wife and mother."
She laughed, still not even remotely close to understanding how wonderful she is in my eyes.
"You are so patient and creative. Our kids won't have a second of boredom if you have anything to do about it. You are so caring and will be the best nurse whenever the fall and scrape their hand or knees. No matter what our kids go through you'll find a way to make them feel better. Do you even remember how we met?" A wobbly smile overtook her lips.
"You were riding your bike by my friend's and you crashed into a fence across the street from her house." she laughed at the memory.
"And then what happened?" I urged her on.
"And then I invited you to my house next door to her’s, helped you get all bandaged up." she rolled her eyes, her smile actually real now.
"That's right," I smiled, leaning in to give her a kiss. I sighed as her lips touched mine, that has always given me “butterflies” as she calls it, that I didn't know was possible before I met her.
"Thanks for breakfast by the way," I spoke.
"What are you talking about? I didn't even make anything edible! Plus, the whole kitchen is a mess!" Y/n laughed, letting me know that she wasn't upset anymore, just slightly annoyed with how things had turned out.
"Ah, but baby, it’s the thought that counts, is it not?" She laughed again and I quickly turned around to the fridge, pulling out a box of toaster strudels and handed them to her.
"I'll clean up if you cook?" I asked as she smiled.
"Deal," she said, hopping off the counter. We worked quickly, and soon Y/n and I had wiped off the counter and stove top and tossed everything else in the sink by the time that our breakfast was popping out of the toaster. We sat down at the island, our fingers interlocked as we took our first bites.
"Con," she said softly, making me turn to her. "Thank you for being my better half."
"And thank you for being mine." I kissed her temple and we finished our toaster strudels in comfortable silence.
This girl truly was my bestfriend. She has been ever since we were 13 and I crashed my bike into that fence and she doctored me up. She was and always will be the better half of me.
-
The End
(A/N: i hope you enjoyed this little connor blurb and remember feedback is highly appreciated!!)
