you and gunner had been just friends for as long as you could remember. your friendship was never questioned, not even by his crazy obsessed fans.
you were always there, sitting on the studio couch mindlessly scrolling on tik tok while he recorded, on the sideline of the stage while he performed, behind the digital camera taking his pictures for insta. he returned the favor by accompanying you to every photo shoot, dress fitting, and interview. you two were inseparable in the best ways possible.
you sat beside him cross-legged while a movie that neither of you were paying attention to played in the background.
he was in a black tank and chrome sweats while you wore the matching hoodie and some pj shorts, the usual attire for friday movie nights.
you had your phone in hand scrolling through the pictures you had taken recently deciding which one to post.
"which one do you like more?" you asked shoving your phone in gunners face. he squinted before pushing your hand further away from his face.
"these all look fire ma." he said scrolling through them. "i like the one of you looking back bent over the most though." he said with a smirk.
you scoffed and rolled your eyes playfully.
"shut up,” you muttered, grabbing your phone back and nudging his knee with yours. “you’re so annoying.”
"just saying ma, its your best angle." he smirked playfully.
you tried your hardest to fight the smile tugging at your lips before bursting into laughter, gunner soon followed.
you re-adjusted your body and grabbed a pillow that was set between the two of you, pulling it onto your lap, attempting to re-focus your attention to the movie playing.
every now and then you could feel him starring at you, you tried to ignore it but curiosity got the best of you.
"can i help you gunner." you ask turning to him, meeting his eyes instantly. he just smiled.
"no i'm not." he said smiling.
"you literally are, i'm actively watching you." you laughed.
he shook his head before focusing back on the movie, you turned your head towards the tv but snuck a quick glance at your friend.
he sighed before speaking, "i'm really grateful for you, you know that right." you paused turning to him shocked by his sudden affection.
"thanks, im grateful for you too." you nudge him smiling.
"i mean it ma." he says turning to you, "i dont know what i would do without you, you keep me grounded."
you swallowed, the teasing smile on your lips fading into something softer.
“gun…” you said quietly, searching his face. He looked serious, not sad, not stressed. just open. honest in a way he usually wasn’t.
“i mean it ma,” he repeated, voice lower now. “everything’s loud all the time. people pulling at me, talking at me, wanting something.” He glanced down at your hands resting on the pillow in your lap. “you’re the only place that’s quiet., the only one who doesn't want something from me.”
your chest ached in that warm, overwhelming way.
you pushed the pillow off your lap and without even thinking you hugged him. he melted in your touch and the hug lasted longer than any hug between friends should.
you broke the hug and just stared at him for a moment. "you'll always have me, im not going anywhere." you smiled lopsidedly.
his jaw flexed a little like he was trying to decide on something.
the movie kept playing in the background, the screen lighting up his dark bedroom.
"y/n" he started. you just stared back at him, you subconsciously moved closer to him. "gunner"
"y/n" he said again softer this time, as if him saying it any louder would make you disappear. "gunner" you whispered, barely realizing you leaned in closer.
close enough to where you could feel his breath on your skin.
"i-" he started, but before he finish you closed the distance between the two of you pressing your lips to his.
the kiss was soft and careful. like you both had been wanting it for a while but were too scared to do anything about it.
his hands slid around your waist pulling you onto his lap making you straddle him. you wrapped your arms around his neck and the kiss got messier.
the movie kept playing in the background, now fully ignored.
he broke the kiss and just stared at you. you were a blushing mess under his gaze. "i've wanted to do that for a while, i didn't mean to interrupt you though." you said sheepishly.
"its fine ma. ive been wanting to kiss those pretty lips of yours for a while too." he said smirking.
"then why didnt you." you asked tracing lines onto his chest.
"didnt wanna lose you." he shrugged.
"i meant it when i said i wasn't going anywhere." you replied.
"yea?" he smiled. you nodded.
he pulled you closer, pressing his lips against yours again, slower this time like he was finally allowing himself to indulge in you.
when he pulled away you got out of his lap and snuggled close to him. you smiled to yourself as he wrapped an arm around you and kissed the top of your head.
friday movie night continued, slightly different now.
