#borhap cast x reader

It had been a few months since [Y/N] had met the actors for the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Since she was taking college classes in photography, she took a lot of promotional photos for when Bohemian Rhapsody would be released and when Brian Singer allowed her to post the photos. Over that time, [Y/N] had gotten very close to the actors, especially Joe. The two shared a lot of the same humor. They were currently on break from filming the scene where Freddie gets a call about the band and the EMI records. [Y/N] and Joe were sitting next to each other on the couch, looking through some silly photos she had taken with her and the cast. She chuckled softly when she found one she had taken with Joe. [Y/N] was pretending to kiss his cheek, while Joe had a shocked look on his face.

She could feel Joe's eyes on her. She looked over and smiled slightly.

"What?" She asked, her cheeks flushing lightly. Joe smiled softly.

"Nothing. I just think you're very pretty." He said. They had a running theme with each other where they would playfully flirt with each other. It was getting harder and harder for [Y/N] to take the comments he sent her way playfully because she realized, after the few months that she had hung out with the cast, she had developed feelings for the child actor of Jurassic World. [Y/N] smiled and tilted her head slightly.

"I think you’re very pretty to.” She said. Joe smiled slightly, making her smile as well. She stood up, stretching her limbs and groaning when her limbs popped. She turned and looked at Joe. “I’m going to go and get some snacks before you have to go back to filming. Want anything?” She asked. Joe smiled and shook his head. 

“Nah. I’m good, thanks.” Joe said. [Y/N] smiled and nodded, walking away to the snack bar. Joe smiled, a love sick look on his face. The couch dipped as John sat next to Joe, the older man letting out a sigh as he sat down. John looked at the man who played him in the movie.

“You have my blessing,” John said. Joe looked at the older man in confusion.

“To do what?” He asked. John chuckled.

“You have my permission to take my granddaughter out on a date. You’re a good man, Joe. I can tell how crazy the both of you are for each other. Just promise me you’ll take care of her. The last thing I want is for her to get hurt.” John said. Joe smiled. He turned and faced John.

“You have my word that I will love and look after your granddaughter.” Joe said. John smiled and held out his hand. Joe shook it. “Thank you.” He said. He quickly got up and raced off to find you. You were talking to Lucy, the both of you laughing at something. Lucy smiled when she saw Joe walking up to you. Joe had talked to the group about his crush on you and they had all given him the same advice. Just tell her. Joe tapped you on the shoulder, making you turn around.

“Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?” Joe asked. Lucy excused herself and walked away. You smiled and nodded. Joe took a deep breath. “Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to ask you this for a while, and your Grandpa has just given me his blessing, so I’m taking a chance and I’m asking you, [Y/N] [M/N] Deacon, would you allow me to take you on a date?” He asked. You stood there for a moment. Then a smile crossed your face.

“It’s kind of weird hearing you asking me out on a date while you look like my Grandad,” you said, earning a laugh from the both of you. “And I would love to go on a date with you, Joseph Francis Mazzello.” You said. Joe smiled.

“Really?” He asked. You smiled and nodded.

“Yes!” You said, laughing. Joe smiled.

“Okay, um, are you free this weekend?” He asked. You smiled and nodded.

“Yup.”

“Okay, then I’ll pick you up at, let’s say, 8 am?” He asked. You smiled and nodded.

“8 it is.” You said. The bell rang for letting the actors know that it was time to start filming again. Joe was extremely excited for the date on Saturday with you.

*Author’s note*

Okay so firs the gif has NOTHING to do with the story, that was just the 1st gif I saw out of the borhap gifs that was displayed.

I’ll also update the cast list as each new character is introduced so that none of you get lost. Hope you all enjoy this little AU fic starring our beloved Borhap cast.

Robin Hood: Rami Malek

Little John: Joe Mazzello

The legend of Robin Hood.  Ahhh yes, that handsome rouge who robbed the rich to feed the poor, who led a band of Merry men and made their home in Sherwood Forest.  But there is more to the tale than meets the eye, and more people were involved in his rise to fame and glory.  Like me.

Oi I’m over here, the handsome black-haired devil with the harp. Yes hello there my darlings. The name’s Alan O’Dale, and I am a minstrel.  That’s an early day folk singer, I go about parading songs from town to town, kingdom to kingdom about brave knights, fierce battles, and of course my favorite stories, love stories.

And do I have two of the best love stories to share with you lovely darlings.  Thankfully it all takes place at the same time so I don’t need to run my mouth on for very long.  Anyways let’s first open our tale up to two dashing young men walking through the forest.

Two of the best friends anyone could ever ask for.  These two young men were known other than Robin Hood and Little John.  Now it didn’t start it off that way at first, those two chuckleheads always kept crossing each other’s paths as children and constantly argued and fought over territory, women, you name it.

But when they reached their late teens, Robin was one day captured by the despicable, ugly, and revolting Sheriff of Nottingham.  Fortunately with the help of an additional 3rd party, Robin was saved from the hangman’s noose and from then on, Robin and Little John were the best of friends. You don’t believe me, let me sing you a little something.  

Tuning the harp, Freddie then begins to play an uplifting little tune as he begins to sing.

Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest Laughin' back and forth at what the other'ne has to say Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin' havin' such a good time Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water They were drinkin', they just guzzled it down Never dreamin' that a schemin' sheriff and his posse Was a-watchin' them an' gatherin' around

Robin Hood and Little John runnin' through the forest Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees an' tryin' to get away Contemplatin' nothin' but escape an' fin'lly makin' it Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

A/N: This is definitely a short one, but enjoy nonetheless. Happy reading!

Death On Two Legs💥

a/n : HIIII welcome back to my writing! I miss all of ya so much :-] the other day i was hit with this thought of just being ababie arpund joe so here's a hc about that. Also, i wanna thank y'all for sticking with me when i was unactive several days ago...it means a lot to me!

anyway, enjoy this hc!! ♡

•••

so we all know about the virus, honestly i think i'm the latest person to write about this

but joe freaking mazzello 'course cannot stay sane that long without you, his 24/7 childhood best friend

so he asked you to move in with him when the whole quarantine thingy started

"Come on!!! You will have the world-famous, fanfastic dino-shaped pancakes by Chef La Mazzello every morning, (Y/N)."

that was his effort to persuade you

of course you said yes

"Fine, but it's only because of the pancakes."

no (Y/N) we ALL know it's because you're head over heels for him!!!

moving-in day

it's not the first time you've stayed at his house

but you were pretty nervous with the idea of living with him, everyday, him seeing you without any makeup, or anything

ESPECIALLY your habits of cleaning products...you tend to use baby shampoo and soaps

when you put your johnson baby wash in his bathroom, Joe frowned

"Whose baby is staying here?."

you stuttered, "uhh...it's weird, but, it's mine...dONT LAUGH OKAY JOE-"

too late

joe's dying on the floor

(((((bathroom floor))))

"(Y/N) yOU'RE AN ADULT."

you tickled him as an escape of your embarassment, feeling shy

"OKAY STOP STOP I'M SORRY!," he laughed

then ruffled your hair

"Even if you use dog shampoo, i'd still.."

you freezed

what's he going to say?!

joe took a moment before finishing his sentence

"....m-make yOU DINO-SHAPED PANCAKES! come on, (Y/L/N)! let's unpack your clothes after this."

then he went out of the bathroom

leaving you

red

and possibly close to having a sheer heart attack

grocery shopping with joe

on some days, joe (and you) is waAY to lazy to make efforts to eat

but at the same time you guys are hella hungry

so you guys order the classic chinese take-outs, or pizza maybe

but also in some days, you will go out grocery shopping with him and buy ingredients for dinner (with masks of course, wear your masks everyone!!!)

joe will grab cooking ingredients and other products

like milk

dairy-free milk because we all don't want joe screaming

anyways

Joe also grabs some chips

and snacks

then there's you grabbing baby snacks

gerber

happy baby

teethers cookies

all the good stuff

"Why..are you???????"

"Stop shaming my snacking behaviour!!! It's good okay,,," you said then running into another aisle

leaving mazzello

grinning

like that joe smile we all love

"Gosh, such a cutie..." he mumbled, then pushing the cart, following you

also he paid for the groceries even though you insisted to pay

ugh i love him

dinner time with joe

joe's not actually the worst italian chef

but he does need constant guiding and sometimes can be sloppy

you guys were cooking baked spaghetti that night, and thankfully it went okay

joe almost spilled the whole sauce from the pan but luckily you were there to stop him

so while waiting for the food to cook

joe decided to play some music off of his phone

and guess what he played

nope

not queen songs

BABY SHARK

the first verse came and you were laughing out loud

"Joe what the fuck???? What is thiiiis?."

joe is already bopping his head and throwing some dance moves

drop it like it's hoooooot-

"Aw come on baby (Y/L/N), bABY SHARK DOO DOO DO DO-"

so you joined him

AND YOU KNOW THE DANCE MOVES

yeah the clapping hands thingy

you guys were dancing so hard you both were sweating

Joe picked you up with his arms

you were a laughing mess and tried to get out of his grip when you both fell into his couch

you on top of him

and him under you

"....joe?"

for a moment you thought joe is going to kiss you

and he reached you cheek

DING!

the oven dings

joe shuffled and you quickly stood up

"I'll check it!," you said while running to the kitchen

SIS your heart was POUNDING because was he going to kiss you????

joe was also a blushing mess

"mazzello you dumb...," he whispered while rubbing his face

then chased you into the kitchen

dinner went a bit awkward

because you both are dumb dorks

but it went over and you guys washes dishes together then got ready for bed

bedtime!!!!

Joe does have a guest room in his house

but he said that the room is currently unavailable

under the following reasons of

"it's messy," and "it has a lot of stuff in it!." "my room's more spacious."

he really just want to have you with him in his bed (Y/N) come on!!!!

so you agreed to sleep with him

because of course you also can't wait to cuddle with him

ehm okay moving on so

you changed into your pajama

and it has gudetama patterns

joe chuckled when he saw you after changing your clothes

"I swear (Y/N), you're a baby trapped in an adult's body."

you pull out your tongue playfully then joined him

joe was scrolling his instagram, and you were checking out your emails

joe then pulled you closer to him

"You're cold, you need more warmth from me," he said, as an excuse

you smiled and rested your head on his shoulder

you did not realize it, but you were feeling sleepy and slowly you lulled off on his chest

joe waS SO hAPPY AND IS A BLUSHING MESS I TELL YOU

because this is exactly the thing he loved the most about you

the domestic side of you, your bare face and your sleepy figure

he turned off the lights as careful as possible

he don't want his baby to wake up

he cuddled you closer and realized

this is what he wanted to see before he's off to the clouds

so let's all hope the man will gain the courage to ask you out

because he can't wait to give you

his baby

more warmth every night :-)

Happy new year everyone! Here’s some Ben Hardy fluff, bc that man has stolen my heart. This might not be my best work, but I really wanted to work out this idea, plz be nice xoxo

5 hours till midnight

You smiled as you looked in the mirror. You finished your makeup with a red lipstick and took a second to admire your work. Your eyeshadow was sparkly and your liner sharp. It was new years eve and you were about to head out to a party that one of your friends was hosting. You were wearing a cute jumpsuit covered in glitters, black sneakers and a black belt around your waist. Your phone buzzed and you saw it was a text from your best friend Lucy.

Hey! We’re on our way!

You quickly typed your reply, saying you were headed to the party as well.

You grabbed your coat and purse and closed the door of your apartment behind you. The cold breeze made you put your coat high up. Small foggy clouds were formed by your warm breath. You quickened your pace to get a bit warmer.

You were excited to see your friends again. It had been a while since all of you had been together. Joe was the one to suggest you’d celebrate new years eve together and everyone agreed with excitement. So he went ahead and rented a big house so everyone could go there and stay for the night. Earlier that day you had dropped off your night essentials, such as your toothbrush and your pyjamas. Gwil and Joe were already there to prepare everything.  Joe was sat on the ground with a pile of garlands next to him, which he was trying to untangle and Gwil almost saw blue from the number of balloons he had blown up. You quickly came to the rescue and helped them with their preparations. After that, you went back home to get ready.

After ten minutes you arrived at the house. It was located near the centre of the city. Judging by the music coming from the house, the party had already started. You rang the bell and Joe opened the door for you.

‘Y/n!’ he exclaimed, excited to see you again.

‘Hi!’ you smiled as you put your coat on the coat rack. ‘You managed to get everything ready in time?’ you joked as you gave Joe a hug.

Joe laughed as he pulled away, ‘Well, it almost turned to shit after you left. We almost broke the glass table when Gwil tried to put up the last garlands.’

You looked at him in disbelieve, but you have known them long enough to know he wasn’t joking. You shook your head and chuckled. The two of you walked to the living room and you were greeted by Lucy and Rami.

Lucy let out a small squeal when she saw you. Your smile grew wide and you quickly made your way towards her.

‘You look amazing,’ Lucy said as she pulled you in her embrace.

‘Thanks! So do you, as usual,’ you winked and Lucy stuck out her tongue. You greeted Rami as well and chatted with the pair for a bit.

‘Hey Y/n!’ you heard behind you. You turned around and saw Gwil walking out of the kitchen.

‘Glad you didn’t demolish this entire house after I left,’ you said as you greeted him.

Gwil looked at Joe with a betrayed look in his eyes. Joe just shrugged, causing you to burst out in laughter.

You started chatting with Lucy, Rami and Gwil as Joe welcomed more people to the party.

4 hours till midnight

It started to get more crowded, but there was someone still missing. Lucy spotted you looking around and she grabbed your hand and walked away from the others.

‘Where’re you going?’ Rami asked slightly confused.

‘Oh, just some girl time!’ Lucy smiled as she dragged you towards the kitchen. You sat on the counter as Lucy got the two of you another drink.

‘What’s up?’ you asked. She handed you your glass and you took a sip, carefully eying Lucy.

She looked at you with a smirk, ‘Could ask you the same thing.’

‘Wha-’ you started, but then you stopped. The look on Lucy’s face said enough.

‘Oh, stop it,’ you fought the urge to smile and quickly took another sip of your drink. She was, of course, talking about Ben.

Ben was one of your closest friends. You didn’t see each other often due to his busy schedule as an actor, but that only made your friendship more special. You’d facetime often and when he was in town he always came to see you. You had started to develop feelings for the man that went beyond friendship, and it made you terrified. Not ever did you want to lose what the two of you shared. Lucy had quickly realized what was going on and often teased you about it. You made her swear not to tell anyone, because god knows what would happen if any of the boys found out.

‘He texted he would be a bit later,’  Lucy told you, bringing you back to reality.

‘Oh,’ was all you said.

‘You know what would be a really good new years resolution?’ Lucy sat beside you on the counter.

You looked at her and shrugged.

‘Telling Ben how you really feel about him,’ she whispered.

‘Oh no, nope, not doing that,’ you immediately shook your head.

Lucy giggled, ‘Come one, Y/n. Anyone can see something is going on between you. You guys are like lovesick puppies.’

‘Luc, Ben doesn’t feel about me that way,’ you sighed, looking at the half-empty cup in your hands

‘How do you know?’

‘I just do,’ you said.

‘Well, who knows what the new year has in store for you,’ Lucy nudged your shoulder, making you smile.

A few seconds later, your ‘girl time’ was interrupted by Gwil.

‘Uh Y/n, there’s someone who wants to see you, and he’s very urgent about it,’ he weirdly wiggled his eyebrows.

You felt your heartbeat started to quicken and a sight blush rose to your cheeks. You heard Lucy holding in her giggles and you hopped off the counter and basically sprinted to the living room. Your eyes scanned the room and they finally landed on Ben. He spotted you in the door opening and showed that beautiful smile of his. He opened his arms and you jumped into them without hesitation. He closed his arms around you and lifted you off the ground for a second. It had been a while since you had seen him, and it felt so good to be in his arms again.

‘Hi’ you breathed, still in his embrace.

He smiled into your hair as he tightened the hug, ‘Hey.’

You pulled back and looked into those bright green eyes that you had missed so much.

‘It’s so good to see you again,’ he said as his eyes bore into yours.

‘You too,’ you felt your cheeks grow hotter by the second. ‘Glad you could make it.’

From the corner of your eyes, you saw Lucy looking at you with a huge smirk on her face. Ben saw her too and greeted her, ‘Lucy, how are you?’

‘Good! Heard you’ve been busy filming?’ Lucy answered and Ben nodded, telling more about his upcoming project.

2 hours till midnight

You had been talking and laughing with your friends for the past hours. These were moments you really treasured. It didn’t happen often that all of you could spend time together. In the meantime, Gwil had brought out some board games and you were now fanatically playing a game of monopoly.

‘You gotta pay rent!’ Joe yelled as he spotted Gwil’s pawn on one of his streets.

‘You’re too late! It’s already Rami’s turn!’ Gwil yelled back. Rami tried to shush them, without any success.

Lucy, who sat next to you, leaned towards to as you were watching the chaos with mini houses and fake money in front of you.

‘Y/n,’ Lucy whispered discreetly, gaining your attention.

‘Hmm?’

‘Ben is staring at you.’

You turned your head to look at her. ‘No, he’s not.’

‘Look for yourself then,’ she smirked.

You narrowed your eyes at her, not sure whether she was messing with you or not. You looked back at the board and casually looked up to Ben, who sat across the table. Your eyes caught his and for a split second, your heart stood still. He didn’t look away, he just sent you a soft smile. You felt your cheeks heat up again as you smiled back. Ben looked away when rami handed him the dices.

15 minutes till midnight

‘Okay guys,’ Joe stood up from his chair, ‘I’m gonna find someone to give a new year's kiss when the clock strikes midnight,’ he announced dramatically. Seconds later he started to giggle uncontrollably, probably caused by the amount of liquor he had already consumed. ‘You guys should do the same!’

‘Jesus Joe, how drunk are you?’ Gwil laughed. Joe waved his comment away and left the table, off to find his new year’s kiss.

‘I’m gonna get the champagne ready!’ Rami said. Lucy joined him and Gwil and Ben went to get another drink, leaving you alone at the table. You sighed. You wished you had Joe’s confidence at the moment, but on the other hand, you were glad you didn’t. Your mind went back to what Lucy had told you. What if there was a chance Ben had feelings for you too? Wouldn’t you have noticed?

You stood up and walked upstairs, in need of some fresh air.

7 minutes till midnight

‘Have any of you seen Y/n?’ Ben asked. He came back from the kitchen, but couldn’t seem to find you anywhere in the living room.

‘Maybe she went to the toilet?’ Gwil shrugged as he handed some people champagne glasses. Ben nodded as he watched everyone get ready for the countdown. After some time, Y/n still was nowhere to be seen.

‘I’ll go look for her,’ Ben said as he put his glass down.

‘You sure? It’s almost midnight,’ Gwil said. ‘I’m sure she’ll be here any second.’

‘Yeah, I’ll be right back,’ Ben nodded as he quickly looked in the kitchen and the hallway, but you weren’t there either. Ben quickly made his way upstairs as he looked at his watch.

3 minutes till midnight

You took a deep breath as you enjoyed the fresh air. It helped to clear your mind a bit. You were lost inside your own head, until a voice made you jump.

‘There you are.’

You turned around to see Ben behind you. He walked across the balcony and stood next to you. ‘It’s almost midnight,’ he softly said.

‘I know,’ you nodded.

‘Don’t you wanna go look for someone to give a new year’s kiss?’ he showed a small smile as he looked at you.

You chuckled, ‘If I had more to drink, maybe.’

You both looked to the sky in a comfortable silence. There were already some fireworks going off, and faint music was heard from downstairs.

1 minute till midnight

‘Hey, Y/n,’ Ben broke the silence.

You looked at him, practically drowning in his eyes.

‘Yeah?’

Ben opened his mouth to say something, but it looked like he couldn’t find the words.

‘What is it?’ you asked softly.

Ben exhaled sharply and shook his head.

In the background, you heard the people downstairs making a lot of noise. They started to count down.

10

9

He just looked at you. There was something in his eyes, but you couldn’t quite figure out what it was.

8

‘I just,’ he started his sentence, but he never finished it.

7

His eyes went from your eyes to your lips and it felt like everything around you stood still.

6

He slowly closed the space between you until your noses were touching.

5

4

He looked into your eyes once more before pressing his lips against yours. You sighed into the kiss. You hand quickly sneaked around his neck and into his hair. His soft lips moved perfectly against yours as he deepened the kiss.  Ben’s hands were on your waist, pulling you even closer to him. The fireworks outside started to go off, but all you could focus on was Ben. You smiled against his lips. You felt like your heart was beating out of your chest from happiness. You slowly pulled away and opened your eyes to look at him. Ben was smiling like an idiot. You brought your thumb to his lips to wipe away some red lipstick. You giggled as he pushed a piece of hair behind your ear.

‘Happy new year, Ben,’ You whispered.

‘Happy new year, Y/n,’ Ben whispered back.

Joe used to love Christmas. It was his favourite time of the year; usually spent with his family and friends drinking and eating way too much. But truth be told, he was dreading Christmas this year. Because one very important person was missing from his life. And it was all his fault. The whole sad story began the last year. Well…really 20 years ago, but shit hit the fan last December. You and Joe had met your first day of college. You’d been distracted, trying to fish your phone out of the bottom of your over-filled bag when you’d collided with an equally distracted ginger who’d been attempting to find the right building for his afternoon class. The map and all your books were sent crashing onto the concrete, which was quickly followed by furious apologies from both bruised parties. After embarrassed introductions you’d realised you were both heading to the same Intro to Literature Class and decided to walk there together (Joe was extra relieved as you’d been to that building that morning and he could follow your lead). And you were very kind, only teasing him for 5 minutes about him having been walking away from the Arts building. With a furious blush colouring his cheeks, he checked the map again only to groan loudly when he realised he’d been holding it upside down. And with that, you found your best friend. And that was how it stayed for the next 2 decades. The two of you were utterly inseparable, never going more than 2 days without speaking in-spite of his horrendous schedule. But it was always made easier with your job being an Associate Professor at NYU and your semester breaks were always spent jetting off to wherever Joe was in the world. He was always apologising and offering to pay for your airfare but you constantly refused, saying that you really didn’t mind. 

A/N: Thanks a bunch @kirstansworld for the request! Here you go!

Here are the headcanon prompts !

HC 22. Meeting them for the first time

Summary: Your tardiness has finally paid off in a way.

Warnings: None but concrete fluff.

WC: 845

xx Requests are always open!! xx

Being tardy was always a curse for you. You could get up hours prior but still leave the porch fifteen minutes- even as long as forty minutes late from the minute you were supposed to leave. But luck seems to be always at your favor with how slippery you are when it comes to sneaking into the first period of your lectures without your professor catching your scent.

However this time, you're certain that you're not going to make it in uncaught– considering that you've decided to stop at a cafe to grab yourself a bagel for breakfast. You're not going to compromise the regular function of your body for one lecture.

You dig deep into your pocket for your wallet and pull it out as you take hastened steps towards the queue of people.

"Not this time. Definitely not this time." You hiss to yourself, tapping your foot restlessly on the floor with the customers you're behind stepping aside with their orders. As soon as the man in front of you clears out, you take a huge step forward and order a bagel and a cup of coffee. After paying and taking your items, you turn around abruptly and speed walk your way to the exit. With your focus carelessly cast aside due to the adrenaline plummeting through you, you collide harshly with someone on your way out and end up spilling your coffee all over their shirt.

"Bloody Mary, Queen of Scots! Jeez!"

How lady-like.

"No! No, no! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to- tsk. Jeez, I'm really sorry." You babble as you frantically but uselessly try to wipe the stain off. A few people have noticed the small fuss that is you but they dismiss it anyway.

The man chuckles and clears his throat, insisting that it's all good and he should've watched where he was going. You scoff ridiculously at him, so focused on hoping to make the stain disappear with all your nervous wiping when the stain isn't that visible with how dark his shirt is. "You? No. It's my fault. Let me- let me pay for that."

"No, please don't. It's alright, I can just change," he grabs your hands gently from all the movement and dares to look you square in the eye to reassure you of your 'innocence'.

Holy shit, he's beautiful. Muscularly intimidating but beautiful. Your conscience yells from the back.

You're pretty sure he's heard the huge gulp you've taken as you tore your stare away from his eyes. "Ah, well. Okay. I'm...still sorry. I should've kept my eyes ahead." You chuckle awkwardly, rubbing your wrist.

He smiles a full megawatt smile that gets people of different backgrounds keeling over. "Hey, you seemed like you were in a rush. My name's Ben, by the way. Ben Hardy. " Out of your lowest expectations, he reaches a hand out to shake and you feel hesitant to take it at first; still secretly intimidated by his veiny arms. You've stained what could be his favorite shirt and he's introducing himself to you eagerly? Well you're not going to let an opportunity like this pass on and so you take his hand to shake, a lopsided smile on your face.

"I'm late- ah, I mean, I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you."

Damn straight you're late.

His eyes crinkle intriguingly at you with a voice deep and velvety like the pastries you took three minutes of your time to drool over. "Late, huh?"

You nod vigorously, withdrawing your hand from his. "As I'll ever be. It was nice to meet you, Ben and as much as I would like to use up my allowance to buy you a new shirt, I'm terribly late for school and so I'll see you later!" You don't take the time to question your last words and quickly make your walk to the door.

"I'll...see you later too! Back here, if you're free?"

Excuse me, what?

You freeze in your tracks and turn around, unsure if you heard him correctly. "Here? You mean, you wanna-"

He shrugs casually as a 'why not' response and you chew on the inner side of your cheek, pondering on it before coming to agree happily. "Sure. That'd be nice." The smile on his plump lips couldn't be any more wider than it is as you agree to exchange numbers with him. After agreeing to follow up through text, you give him a friendly nod as you scamper out of the cafe to catch up with the time you have left to slip in unnoticed in your first class.

As for Ben, he's definitely counting the hours til your dismissal.

Upon reaching the half-empty hallways, a rather obvious detail you've overlooked back there suddenly flashes in your mind– did he say Ben Hardy?

That Ben Hardy?

Pulling up Google on your phone on your way to the lecture hall, you look up his name and the results nearly bursts one of your arteries just as the strict mention of your name as you enter the room an hour late does.

Summary: Uni it’s been tough and you started to feel stressed about it and the future but luckily to have an understanding boyfriend (I’m still learning how to do summaries).

A/N: this is angst with a fluffy end.

Warnings: cursing, allusions of anxiety and depression not directly mentioned, if you are going through something similar please reach out some help (I’m always open to talk if you want).

It started slowly, nobody noticed, not even you. First you just skipped that dinner with your best friend you told her you were just tired cause it was true...well mostly, part of you felt very tired and at the same time wanted to sleep for like 10 hours but you didn’t do that and you couldn't get yourself to sleep so instead you stay in with your boyfriend Joe chatting till he fell asleep.

After that you didn’t go to your pottery classes, You loved to go to them every Wednesday but instead, you preferred stayed at home again, doing anything like reading, cooking, studying or whatever kept your mind busy and away from all the bad thoughts that been creeping on your head lately and not thinking at all. As the night went on it was more difficult, your mind kept working nonstop even if you closed your eyes harder-like that would be any help-you couldn't sleep so you just stayed there trying to not move a lot so you wouldn't wake up your boyfriend.

Weeks passed by and you went to Lou’s birthday party, he was a good friend from UNI it was from your group of close friends. So it was natural for you to go to the party and honestly that day you weren't feeling bad. You were having a good time until they started to talk about UNI it was at this moment when you started to feel overwhelmed and felt like your body and mind separated from itself, your body was there but again your mind was in another place, you felt your throat getting dry, your hands were shaking and your heart pounded faster. You weren't sure how long it has been since you zoned out but then when you were capable of brought yourself back to the conversation all of them were talking about their perfect lives and perfect grades what they planned to do after UNI. It seemed like all of them have it all figured out, on the other hand, you didn’t, you weren’t sure of where you were going to work, fuck you didn’t even know in what were you going to specialize yet…so you stayed there quiet and nodding your head from time to time so no one will notice the amount of shit going on your mind and how stressed you were.

Then you started to miss your classes You could not concentrate at all it was like your body was there, but you weren’t really there, your mind was off and overthinking everything you did and said.

Not long after you started to compare your grades to your friends, they all have succeeded in their exams and you barely made it... why it was so hard for you? You kept getting low grades and felt like you were failing. Even when you spend the night studying, why did they do so good? Why it seems so easy for them? Were you dumb? you felt like you didn’t know anything at all. It's not like you didn’t like what you were studying... heck you love it but at this moment you didn’t see yourself finishing so you wondered what will happen if you just quit.

Your bed was your safe place now and not attending classes was easier now that your boyfriend was in another country working on some movie or was he just doing interviews? Maybe he was visiting a friend, you couldn't… so now you were lying on your side facing the wall, tired to even move a finger, haven't ate or sleep either, you couldn’t remember when was the last time that you showered or what day it was, the sound of the phone startled you a little but you didn’t even attempt to reach it. Whoever it was got the message and after a while stopped calling.

Y/N? are you home?- Joe called, what was he doing here?- Y/N? Why is so dark here?- he asked entering the room, you couldn’t see him on your current position- hey sweetie- he kissed your cheek and you felt the bed deepen beside you- Hi Joe- you tried to sound fine but your voice failed- what's wrong babe?-he asked-. I.I.I don’t know- your said feeling some tears pooling at your eyes- can you turn around?-he pleaded- please?- you didn’t move- please look at me honey-you gave up and turn around- Hi beautiful-he smiled at you so warmly and with that action you started to cry- it’s okay babe I got you-he said embracing you, he didn’t ask anything and let you cry yourself out, you appreciated it, you weren’t good talking about feelings and stuff, very different from Joe now that you thought about it you both were so different he was extroverted, loud, funny and loving... but you? you were far from that, right now you weren't sure what he saw in you.
