description: after a heartbreaking break up, dom’s friend colson decides to hook him up with a friend
pairing: yungblud x female!reader
no hate towards halsey, i actually absolutely adore her, but she’s just the ex-girlfriend in this imagine so there’s some instances of dom and colson saying not very nice things about her. i also don’t know the details of their breakup so i’m making it up for the sake of the imagine.
“Come on, man, you can’t keep moping over some bitch that broke up with you. You gotta move on from her.”
Dom looked up at Colson from his position on the studio couch. “How can you say that about her when you fucked around with her, too?”
“I got my anger out through a song, and that’s what you have to do,” Colson told him. “Now get your ass up, we’re going to write something fucking amazing and blow everyone away.”
Dom put his head in his hands and sighed heavily. It was easy for Colson to say, his fling with Ashley was very short lived, and eventually they ended up being friends again. Dom and Ashley had something real, he was sure he was in love with her. Then, out of nowhere, she broke up with him, claiming their relationship just wasn’t working out and she wanted to be by herself. Not even two weeks later, she was pictured out with another guy, and it was recently confirmed that they were together.
Ever since, Dom had just felt so heartbroken and down. He didn’t even want to make any music, although all his friends, especially Colson, were trying to get into the studio with him. Finally, feeling fed up with Dom’s sadness, Colson picked him up and dragged him to the studio to try and get his mind off the breakup, which currently was not working.
When Dom didn’t move, Colson sighed. He shook his head and sat himself down, deciding to start on the song without Dom. The two sat in prolonged silence as Colson wrote some notes down, humming them out and figuring out the songs every now and then.
Just as Dom was about to stand up to leave, the door to the studio opened and an unknown girl walked in carrying a tray of paper coffee cups. Dom sat up straighter, noticing how beautiful this woman was almost immediately.
“Hey (Y/N),” Colson said. “Thanks for the coffee. I don’t know about the sad fuck over there, but I’ll definitely need it. I’m planning on at least writing enough songs for the next album.”
“Kells, you need to slow down and rest at some point,” the woman, (Y/N), told him.
“I can rest when I’m dead,” Colson said, waving off the comment. “Oh, by the way, this is Dom. Dom, this is (Y/N).”
She turned and smiled at the young Brit. “Hey! It’s nice to meet you. Kells talks about you a lot.”
Dom tried not to visibly deflate upon realizing that (Y/N) and Colson really knew one another. She was probably another of his recent string of girlfriends or hookups.
As if reading his friend’s mind, Colson stood and wrapped an arm around (Y/N)’s shoulder. “(Y/N) is an old friend from Cleveland. We’ve known each other for years.”
“Colson’s like my big brother,” (Y/N) added. “Right down to the wishing I didn’t know him.”
Colson playfully shoved (Y/N), causing her to almost fall onto Dom’s lap. Although he would’ve loved to have her sat there, Dom caught her instead and placed her on the couch next to him.
“We;;, it’s nice to meet you, (Y/N),” Dom said.
“You wanna stick around, (Y/N)? Maybe you could help us write something,” Colson suggested.
(Y/N) scoffed. “I can barley speak English, let alone write a good song. I’d love to stay and watch the process, though. If I’m not intruding.”
“Not at all!” Dom responded before he could stop himself.
Colson looked between the two, a mischievous smirk on his face. “Well settle in, we’re gonna be here a while. I gotta piss, be back in a few.”
(Y/N) rolled her eyes and waved Colson off. Once he left the room, things got slightly awkward. (Y/N) leaned against the arm rest furthest away from Dom, putting a lot of space between the two. She pulled her phone out and began typing something. Dom longed to say something, but he didn’t know what. He was also too afraid that he’d let something embarrassing slip if he opened his mouth.
Suddenly, (Y/N) gasped. “I knew you looked familiar! You’re Yungblud!”
Dom raised an eyebrow. “Kells didn’t tell you that?”
(Y/N) shook her head. “Nope, he always just referred to you as Dom, and he hasn’t said anything about your song or the tour or anything. I can’t believe he invited me to hang out with one of my favourite musicians without telling me!”
Dom laughed. Luckily, this was what he needed to get the conversation rolling. They started talking then, really getting to know one another. They were so deep in their conversation that neither realized that nearly 20 minutes had passed and Colson still hadn’t returned.
“So, what are you and Kells working on? Anything big?” (Y/N) asked.
Dom sighed. “He’s trying to get me to write something, but I’m just not feeling overly creative right now. I just went through a bad breakup so I don’t feel like writing another epic hit song right now.”
“Oh yeah, Kells told me that,” (Y/N) said, shuffling awkwardly. “And I’ve…seen the pictures of Halsey with Evan Peters. I’m so sorry, Dom, that sucks so bad.”
She reached over and took Dom’s hand in hers. When he turned to look at her, he found himself lost in her eyes, as cheesy as that sounded. She smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear, slight blush creeping across her face.
And, of course, it was that moment that Colson decided to walk in.
“Geez, took you long enough to piss,” (Y/N) said. “What, did you get lost on your way to the bathroom?”
“Sorry,” Colson shrugged, although he sounded less than apologetic.
“Well, you were gone long enough that now I’m hungry.” (Y/N) stood. “You guys want anything?”
“Grab me a burger. No pickles, fuck that shit,” Colson responded. “Dom?”
Dom shook his head. (Y/N) shrugged and headed out the door. Colson hit Dom’s arm, causing the young Brit to actually jump. “What the fuck?”
“Go with her!” Colson insisted. “Dude, I just watched you two get super close, she totally digs you!”
“You watched us?” Dom asked.
“You didn’t actually think I went to piss for nearly half an hour did you?” Colson questioned. “I saw you two hitting it off and decided to wait and see where it was gonna go. You obviously like her, and she is totally into you. Go with her to get the food, spend more time with her!”
Dom couldn’t deny that the idea of spending more time with (Y/N) sounded great, but he shook his head at Colson’s suggestion. “I can’t. I’m just out o of a relationship, Kells, I’m not ready for anything else. And I don’t want a rebound.”
“She’s not a rebound if you really like her,” Colson told him. “I’m telling you, hang out with her, get to know her. Then when you’re ready, go out on a date with her. I’m telling you, dude, you two would be great together.”
Dom took a moment to think about what Colson said before standing and running out of the room. He caught (Y/N) just as she was reaching the door of the studio. “Hey, (Y/N), wait up!”
When she turned to look at him, Dom caught a look in her eyes that he couldn’t quite place. It looked like hope, or excitement.
“Want some company for your food run?” he asked her.
“Yes!” she answered excitedly, but quickly regained her composure and corrected herself. “I mean, yeah. That’d be pretty cool.”
Dom laughed, causing (Y/N) to smile, and the two made their way to (Y/N)’s car.
