Pretty Drummer Boy (ST Gareth x F Reader)

Morning Madness

Gareth's POV:
I wake up from someone shaking me. It's my mom.

"Gareth why is there a girl on our sofa and three young boys sleeping on our living room floor?"

I sit up and scratch the back of my neck, i'm actually confused.

"What?"

My mom loudly sighs and gestures me to follow her to the living room.

"I've never seen these kids in my life, and i'm not even going to bring up Eddie sleeping in the guest room."

"Oh. I forgot about them, we had band practice yesterday after school and they all crashed here because it was already late, sorry mom." I explain.

"It's fine, just wake them up and get them home before your little sister wakes up please." my mom commanded.

I sigh, "Okay."

I walk over to y/n, carefully stepping over Mikes torso. I kneel down so i'm eye level with her and I start shaking her as I repeat her name.

"Y/n.. wake up, y/nnn.."

She slowly opens her eyes and fully opens them, making eye contact with me. Damn her eyes are so pretty.

"Why good morning y/n." I say with a smile.

Y/n's POV:
I smile as I hear Gareth's morning voice. It's refreshing to hear a new voice every once in a while. I sit up and he stands up.

Gareth doesn't move for a moment, "Messy hair suits you." he comments with a chuckle.

(BUTTERFLIESSS 🦋🦋🦋)

I smile and lightly shake my head as I stand up.

I get on my knees behind Dustin sleeping and shake him.

Gareth goes and shakes Lucas awake.

Dustin jumps up and hits my face with his hand. (yes again)

"OW!" I shout in pain.

"OH SORRY Y/N YOU HAVE TO STOP SCARING ME LIKE THAT." Dustin shouted back.

"I WAS WAKING YOU UP HOW DOES THAT SCARE YOU." I argued.

Mike and Eddie both woke up from the screaming.

Everyone just stares at us with sleepy faces.

A little girl, about 4 comes out along with a pair of parents as well.

"Sorry.." I apologize to the awaken family members of Gareth.

Gareth's parents exchange a look after taking a good look at me.

"Gareth, sweetie, is this the girl that-" his mother started but he abruptly interrupted her as he quickly got up.

"N-NO IT'S NOT." he yelled while he quickly took a glance at me.

I'm still sat on the floor and just look up at his parents.

I see his father whisper something to his mother.

Dustin, Mike, and Lucas get up from the floor. Dustin gave me a hand, but pulled me up too fast, causing me to almost hit Gareth. (hmm was that really an accident?)

I find my balance and rub my eyes as I examine his little family.

"Okay.. well since this whole house is awake now and Gareth didn't do his job, would you kids like breakfast?" Gareth's mother asked us.

Everyone nodded their head in agreement.

I took a seat on the sofa once again as did everyone else with other empty seats.

Gareth's little sister runs up to me, "You're prettyyy." she tells me as she stares at my face.

All the boys watch the interaction, leaning in like it's a movie.

"Well thank you cutie." I happily replied with a smile. "What's your name?"

"I'm Hayley Emerson." she exclaimed as she climbed up next to me.

"How cute, i'm y/n, it's nice to meet you Hayley." I say as I watch the little girl play with my hair.

I notice it was a little quiet so I look up at the boys. All of them are silent and just staring at me interact with Hayley. I noticed Gareth staring at me almost like he was in love? On the other hand, Eddie just looked puzzled while the other boys looked at me like they saw a ghost.

"What..?" I questioned to the boys.

"You're so mean, how are you getting along with her?" Eddie questioned, sounding serious.

"Mean? What? I'm not mean!" I got offended by that.

"Uh- what he means is that you like yell a lot, so it's weird to see you all patient with a little girl." Lucas added.

Hayley was in my lap touching my face by now.

"What can I say? I'm kind of in love with every member of this household now." I simply stated.

Eddie and Gareth exchange a look.

"Every member?" Dustin asked.

I hear the way that sounds now that Dustin did that.

"I- didn't mean it like that.." I mumble.

Hayley smiles as she begins playing with my fingers and the bracelets on my wrists.

Gareth scratches the back of his neck as the room fills with silence.

"Breakfast is ready!" Gareth's mother shouts from the kitchen.

Gareth was the quickest to get up and flee the living room. We all followed him out to the dining room.

On the table were pancakes, pieces of bacon, syrup, plates, and utensils.

Wow that was fast. I thought to myself.

—————

Everyone finished breakfast and chattered amongst each other at the dining table.

Hayley ran up to me when she finished her food to sit in my lap again.

"I think she likes you." Gareth said as he stares at the two of us.

"Well, she's really cute I can't complain." I say as I look between the both of them, "Hey, she actually looks a LOT like you."

Gareth smiles to himself and lets out a small laugh.

"Of course she does y/n, she's my sister after all." he pointed out.

I smile as I look into Gareth's eyes.

"Hey, not here lovebirds." Eddie spoke as he snapped his fingers in between our faces.

We both turn to look at him.

"Yeah, that's right I see that look in your eyes." Eddie taunted.

Hayley started clapping and picked up Eddie's word, "Lovebirds, lovebirds, lovebirds." she sang.

Gareth's mother was watching from afar, "Okayy that's enough honey." she laughed as she picked up Hayley from my lap.

"Hey Gareth do you have a hairbrush I can borrow? I don't want my hair to look like this forever you know." I ask him.

He quickly looks me up and down, "Yeah, follow me."

He gets up and I trail behind him as he leads me to the upstairs bathroom.

"I mean it's my hairbrush so here you go." he says as he hands me the brush.

I begin brushing my hair and he just watches me as my hair reforms to its silkiness. I put the brush down and head back downstairs, while he follows.

Everyone collectively agreed it's time to go home and we all say our goodbyes to Gareth and his family as we head out.

A/N: I really can't tell if this is short but I think it is so i'm leaving this here.
