Crush Imagines

+ 1

Hii! I thought I'd do a story for Valentine's Day. It includes the song "People Watching" by Conan Gray. I love him so much. Enjoy!!

"Y/n, are you alright?"

I lifted my head off my desk and gave my teacher a blank stare. She didn't actually care, she was just tired of me sleeping through her class all of the time. No one ever really cares. Everyone is so self-centered these days.

I never responded to my teacher, but I guess knowing that I was awake was enough for her to continue her lesson.

[Time Skip]

It was lunchtime. Finally a moment to relax. I went to sit with my best friend, but stopped myself. Today was Valentine's Day. And as usual, I was single. It hurts really bad to be alone and watch all the happy couples around you. If I sat with my best friend, all she would do is brag about what her boyfriend gave her for Valentine's Day. I don't feel like dealing with that today.

So I went to the place that I always go to when I need my own space: the band room. No one was ever in there during lunch. I sat down at the piano and lifted up the case so that the keys were there for me to play.

Music is everything to me. Whenever I'm playing the piano and singing my heart out, all of my stress seems to leave my body. I started thinking of a song to play that fit my current mood.

"Perfect," I whispered to myself.

It took a few seconds to find the right chords. Then I took a deep breath and began to sing.

"That wasn't funny but she laughed so hard, she almost cried. They're counting months they've been together, almost 49. He's making fun of how she acted 'round the holidays. She wears a ring, but they tell people that they're not engaged. They met in class for metaphysical philosophy. He tells his friends, 'I like her 'cause she's so much smarter than me.' They're having talks about their futures until 4 AM. And I'm happy for them."

I grew louder as the chorus began.

"But I wanna feel all that love and emotion. Be that attached to the person I'm holding. Someday I'll be falling without caution. But for now I'm only people watching."

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to sing the second verse, but before I could start, a boy's soft voice filled the room.

"I'm only looking just to live through you vicariously. I've never really been in love, not seriously."

I opened my eyes to see who the angelic voice belonged to. There beside me sat a boy around my age with fluffy h/c hair and bright e/c eyes. He gave me a warm smile as he sang. I felt that the right thing to do was continue playing the piano as he sang, so I closed my eyes again and practically breathed in the song.

"I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence. Next one I choose to trust I hope I use some common sense."

Here comes my favorite line in the song! I sang the next part with him.

"But I cut people out like tags on my clothing. I end up all alone, but I still keep hoping."

I love that lyric so much...

Wow. Our voices fit together like a puzzle. It was so beautiful.

"I wanna feel all that love and emotion. Be that attached to the person I'm holding. Someday I'll be falling without caution. But for now I'm only people watching."

I did a fancy trick on the piano and then lifted my fingers off the keys. I looked up at the boy to see him already looking at me.

"That was beautiful," I said, out of breath.

"It was. You have a pretty voice."

I looked down so that he wouldn't see me blushing.

"That's my favorite song," I said.

"Really? Me too," he replied, "I love Conan Gray!"

I looked back up at him. "How come you're in here? Usually the music room is empty this period."

"Well, its Valentines Day, and I needed to get away from.. from.."

"Same."
