Plot: Shawns writing for you based on your favorite memory with him. Warnings: non, just wholesome Shawn <3
------------------------------------------------------------You and Shawn had been really close friends before you two started dating. You knew each other's likes and dislikes. You two seemed perfect together- and you were.
Shawn needed to write more songs for his Wonder album and couldn't stop thinking of you. Every moment you two shared together. He was thinking of you too much that ot became useless since he couldn't focus on a memory.
You knew Shawn would be stressed. So you came to check up on him. You sat next to him and gently held his hand. " is there anything I can do to help?" you offered, clearing the hair off of his forehead.
" what's your favorite memory of us together? " he asked, taking you up on your offer. You thought for a moment, " there's lots.. But probably when you took me to see the stars. It was gorgeous." you confessed.
You saw Shawn get a spark in his eye as he scribbled something on a piece of paper. He quickly showered your face in kisses. " you're amazing babe! " he basically yelled as you laughed.
You eventually left and he started to write the song. He was motivated knowing that it was your favorite memory together and he wanted to write you something perfect.
When wonder was realised and he started to do his tour, he wanted to announce the backstory of his favorite song ' look up at the stars '
While getting ready to perform this song, he started to give his little speech. " this song is about one of my favorite memories, with y/n. I will always take her to see the stars. " and as he spoke, the backing track started playing.
The fandom absolutely loved you. So when they heard this, there was nothing but love. And the song was a lyrical master piece.
As soon as Shawn was free, you couldn't wait to give him your opinion on the song- and album. He liked hearing praise from his work- but especially from you.
" what's your favorite song? " he asked you.
" my song. Look up at the stars." you said smiling and you showed him your new phone wallpaper. A picture of you and him, from that night, with the starry key in the background.
From back to back albums. “Wonder” and “Heartbreak Weather”.
Both Niall and Shawn having thoughts of marriage, yet Niall said his life things are happening at a different pace. Yup. Well… there’s reasons it would be.
In “Wonder”, Shawn hopes this person will be by his side and the world will be ok with it 😭❤️🔥
Both songs make reference to colors for the other person… Niall saying he sees this person “in all your gorgeous colors”, meanwhile Shawn is vowing to “paint the world that you deserve, every color you’d imagine”. B&W mv is, ironically, COLORFUL!
Adding that the word “dress” can either mean the specific garment that could be referred to as a gown OR it can also be reference to formal wear (ie. of which a wedding would have).
THEN?? the start of B&W is Niall’s date “fumbling” for their keys, but then he kisses them…. He could tell they’re “NERVOUS”??? IN Shawn’s song he tells a story about being nervous at his date’s apartment door being nervous??? HELLOO???? Like… HELLO??
I wonder if I'm being real
Do I speak my truth or do I filter how I feel?
I wonder, wouldn't it be nice
To live inside a world that isn't black and white?
I wonder what it's like to be my friends
Hope that they don't think I'll forget about them
I wonder..
“After doing a couple shows, I realized this one is never gonna die.”
