Kellin Quinn Imagines

Meeting Him In Hot Topic

"C'mon honey you HAVE to try on these dresses!" Your mother says, trying to pull you towards the dress store.
You shake your head "But mooom Hot Topic is RIGHT THERE!!!"
Your mother sighs "Honey, you need to act like a real woman and where dresses."
You scoff "I'll wear dresses that have band logo's on, frills and ruffles really aint my style. You go look at the dresses and I'll be in Hot Topic, ok?"
Your mom is thoughtful for a moment before she releases your hand "Fine, dont buy anything I wouldnt!"
You roll your eyes "That would mean I cant buy anything, screw that, Im buying EVERYTHING!!!" You squeal before running into Hot Topic. You can practically see your mom rolling her eyes and sighing behind you but you dont care, you heard they had new SWS posters in here and you needed to own at least one of them to be happy. You arent one of those girls thats got money to buy concert tickets and meet SWS at signings and meet and greets etc, you've worked your ass off to save up for merch. You've never seen them in person, however much you wish you had. You run frantically down several aisles and cant find the shirts anyhere, you run to one of the desks where your good friend Stan is sitting, looking bored out of his mind.
"Hey Stan, SWS posters, where!?!" You ask.
He sighs "SWS???"
You facepalm "Stan you have to be the only person on the planet that knows me and doesnt know what SWS stands for, seriously. Do you never pay attention to ANYTHING I say to you!?! SWS stands for Sleeping With Sirens, my favorite band of all time that I've never been lucky enough to see in person because Im poor and unlucky! I heard you've got new SWS posters in here, where are they!?!" You hear somebody laugh in a different aisle and you're pretty sure you recognize the laugh but you ignore it.
Stan smiles "Aisle 4, 2nd shelf."
You smile at him "THANK YOU STAN!!!" You squeal before running to aisle 4. You search the shelves frantically. They're on the top shelf. Not the second one. And you cant reach. You stomp back to Stan. "Stan. They're on the top shelf. Not the second. I cant reach them. Im not a girl for heels, you know that. Why do you insist on making my life so hard dammit!?!"
Stan laughs "I knew that, I wanted to make you suffer!"
You gasp in mock horror "Motherfucker!"
Stan looks behind you "Looks like someone else is getting one, go ask them to get it down for you!"
You sigh "Stan. Anti-social unicorn over here, I dont socialise very often."
Somebody behind you laughs "You dont have to, I got it down for you anyway!" You recognise that voice.
You gulp "S-Stan, is Kellin Quinn standing behind me right now or am I hearing voices like the crazy person I believe I am?"
Stan raises an eyebrow "Who's Kellin Quinn?"
You facepalm "Oh my fucking god Stan. How am I even friends with you!?! Kellin Quinn is the lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens, y'know, the one with long black hair on the posters!?!"
Stan nods in understanding "Yeah, he is, and he's smiling, just talk to him!?!"
You shake your head "Its not that easy, Im an anti-social shy unicorn remember!?! Also, I've never spoken to angels so what do I do!?!" Kellin laughs behind you and you facepalm "Shit. Forgot he could hear me. Now Im an anti-social shy AND EMBARRASSED unicorn, I'll be sure to add that to my resumé." Kellin laughs again. Then you hear a voice and you cringe.
"HONEY??? ARE YOU IN HERE???" Your mother calls.
"Shit shit shit shit shit..." You mutter as she walks towards you "HEY MOM!!!" You say, faking excitement.
"Honey I found this beautiful dress so hurry and buy whatever you wanted to buy so that the man behind you can-wait...isnt that the man you're always obsessing over?" Your mother smiles.
You facepalm "Yes mom, yes it is."
Your mother claps excitedly and walks behind you "Hello there! My daughter is a huge fan and does nothing but listen to your music and talk about you!"
You facepalm again "Does anyone have a brick, a hammer or an axe I can use on my forehead instead of my hand? I think it'll end this torture quicker." Kellin and Stan laugh.
"Honey why dont you talk to him?" Your mother asks.
"Because mom Im shy and-WOAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Your mother grabs you and spins you around to face him. He smiles down at you and you blush. "Well thanks Mom. Y'know I think Im in need of a chainsaw, I dont think an axe is quick enough."
Kellin laughs and holds out his hand "Nice to meet you too!"
You shake his hand "N-No thats not what I meant I just-"
He laughs "Dont worry, I get it."
You smile "Thanks for getting a poster down for me, that was really cool of you!"
He winks "No problem short stuff!"
You hold up a hand "I prefer the term short ROUND if you dont mind, movie references are my second language."
Kellin laughs "Ok then, short round it is!"
Your mother butts in "So about that dress-"
You turn to her "Mom. Talking to an angel. Dresses are, like at the bottom of my to do list right now."
She sighs and steps back "Right, of course."
You roll your eyes and turn back to Kellin "Kill me. She wants me to be girly and give up on bands and Hot Topic. Im losing the will to live." You whisper loud enough for only Kellin to hear
Kellin laughs "Seriously? Wow!" He whispers back
You nod "I know right!?!"

Turns out you and Kellin got along great. Your mom left and said to meet you at home and you were SOOO happy to be alone with Kellin at last. You told him your story and by the end you were crying.

"Y-You guys saved me. You're my heroes. T-Thank you so much. I l-love you." You cry.
Kellin pulls you into his arms "Awww (Y/N) its ok, I love you too. Im so sorry you had to go through that!"
You shake your head "Its fine, Im so grateful to you guys. You saved me from so much. Unfortunately even your music couldnt save me from everything..."
Kellins eyebrows raise "What do you mean?"
You lift the sleeves of your hoodie to reveal your scars "My mom doesnt know about any of this. I didnt want to worry her. I've been alone in this world for so many years, your music being the only thing comforting me and keeping me alive."
Kellin gasps "Oh my god (Y/N)...."
You nod "Im sorry Kellin. I know I shouldnt. Im a week clean though, Im proud of myself for that. Its mostly because Madness was released this week and I've been busy obsessing over that but y'know its still an achievement."
Kellin chuckles "Yeah, it is an achievement, Im very proud of you! Please dont do it again, if not for yourself then for me. I love you and I dont want to see you in pain like this. Please."
You nod and sniffle "I promise I wont Kellin, I love you too, thank you for everything. For being there even if you dont realize it, for helping me through the pain and for being the only thing to help me escape it all. Thank you."
He kisses your hair lightly "You're welcome. Im gonna give you my number so we can stay in touch ok? And if you ever feel like self-harming again, text me. You can text me anytime you want, I'd love to talk to you again. You're an awesome and beautiful girl."
You blush "Thank you so much Kellin, nobody has ever called me that before." You exchange numbers and he walks you to your house. He gives you one final hug before leaving you at your house. Today has been brilliant, even with all the tears, you got to meet your savior. Well, one of them anyway.
