   y/n sighed and closed her eyes, giving herself one last chance to calm down before she and ariana left the car and stepped onto the carpet. she glanced over at the girl next to her, chuckling as she saw her reapplying her lipgloss once again.

   "you're ready?" y/n questioned, grabbing ariana's hand in hers and giving it a squeeze. ariana smiled widely and nodded her head, giving y/n a kiss on her cheek and wiping off the gloss that was left on her skin.

   y/n couldn't help the smile that came across her face as she took a deep breath, opening the door to the car a few seconds after the driver had stopped.

   she squinted as she pushed the door open, the flashing lights from cameras practically blinding her as she tried to step out of the car. once she had successfully made it out, she reached for ariana's hand to assist her, giggling quietly as ariana subtly winked at her.

   y/n helped ariana fix her dress slightly before resting her hand on the small of her back, walking them closer to the carpet and to the large crowd of people.

   ariana giggled happily as she noticed the fans on the sides, waving and blowing them small kisses with her hands. she stopped y/n with a palm pressed to her shirt covered chest. y/n hummed, looking down at the woman.

   ariana stared up at her with her best puppy dog eyes. "can we go talk to them? please?"

   y/n glanced back at the wall of fans, a smile gracing her lips as she nodded. "yeah, come on."

   ariana squealed joyfully as she and y/n made their way over to the group, wide smiles on both of their faces. ariana immediately went to one girl who had one of her shirts on, a sweet and starstruck look on her face.

   "hi honey! how are you?" ariana questioned, leaning against the rail that separated them so she could listen better. the brunette teenager blushed heavily as tears slowly filled her eyes.

   "i'm doing amazing now!" she gushed, "i love you so much!"

   ariana's smile grew. "i love you too babe!"

   she took a second to look over to y/n, her heart filling with warmth as she watched her talk to a younger girl, maybe about ten or eleven. y/n was smiling so big as she leaned over the rail, her hand holding the girl's much smaller one as they spoke to each other. ariana bit her lip longingly, admiring the way y/n was when she was around kids.

   another girl behind the bar noticed the look on ariana's face, giggling to herself. ariana turned her attention back to the fans, a dark blush coating her cheeks. she leaned forward, a smirk on her lips.

    "y/n's so cute, don't you guys think?" ariana giggled, glancing over to the woman before going back. both girls giggled as they nodded, the brunette's friend speaking up, "oh my god, yes! i've had a big ass crush on her for years!"

   the three girls laughed together as they all watched y/n sign the back of someone's phone case wearily. she looked sort of confused as to why someone would want her to sign a phone case, but she did so anyway.

   ariana immediately perked up and snapped her head back to the girls as y/n turned her head, looking straight at her. y/n smirked as she bid her goodbyes to the group of fans she was with, making her way back to her friend.

   y/n placed a hand on ariana's shoulder as she approached her. "you talking about me over here?" she smiled cheekily, narrowing her eyes at the pop star.

   ariana covered her mouth with her hand, her blush deepening. before she was about to answer, the two girls did so for her. "yes we were!" they answered together. the brunette continued, "ariana thinks you're cute and my friend has a crush on you!"
