Idol Howdy AU by Kumakooo on Tumblr

I was a skater, known to a ton of people, even the famous idol Howdy knew me personally which people got jealous of me for. But they never knew that the two of us knew one another for years with him following me on insta which I quickly noticed.

Howdy was very sweet and gentle, also very tall with a medium build which I had to say, scared me when I saw him up close and personal. I was a bit smaller than him, he was almost as tall as Sidon from Zelda Breath of The Wild, meanwhile, I was slight taller than Link but not by much.

The height difference was also a talk in conversation about us being 'friends'. And yeah, we've been secretly dating for mouths now with no paparazzi following us thankfully but it did help that he mainly booked private dinners which always made me feel guilty.

Today was like any other with practice, a big skating event was just around the corner and I was ecstatic. This was the skating finals, a chance to see if I get with the big dogs of the rink. Laughter filled the locker room but not of actual happiness, mostly competitors shut talking each other.

I was not excluded from this particular discussion, merely because they thought I was just weak.

"Oh please! She's ridiculous, I could easily do I an air front flip," One competitor showed off, "It's not easy as you make it seem, I tried it and I nearly sprain my own ankle," One defended.

I rolled my eyes, "If your going to shit talk me, then at least say to my face," I huffed, The competitor laughed. "So you could hear me the whole time, why not interrupted me earlier then?" She asked, I smile. "Because, unlike you, I like to listen to hear what others have a problem with me. But you don't seem to be that, you sound jealous because I've never seen you actually do my signature stunt on the skating rink," I stated.

She huffed, "Really, say, I bet you $100 bucks I can make your stunt successfully on the rink, if I lose the bet, you name your price," She smiled. I laughed, "Really, betting, doesn't that sound a bit immature?" I asked, the girl looked surprised by my response. "Sorry, I don't think I want to," I stated as closed my locker and locking it.

"Wha- Why not?!" She questioned me, "Because, I'm not that petty, plus, you look like your gonna need that $100 bucks for a new pair of shoes, those aren't really nice looking," I coed, pointing at her shoes and making a disapproving look at them. "Real funny!" She growled under her breath a bit. "It is isn't it. Maybe I should be a comedian rather than a skater," I laughed as I left the room.

In short, I stand up for myself. And those who want to humiliate me instead gets humiliated. I'm not fond of shit talk. I looked at my phone and smiled, Howdy sent me a text.

"Afternoon love, how was practice?" He texted, I smiled softly, "It was good, how's the new album coming along?" I asked, suddenly I heard a several gunshots and my stomach started hurting.

I looked at my stomach and saw blood spilling from a now apparent wound. "What the hell..." I mumbled in pain as I fell onto the sidewalk. I quickly texted Howdy to called for 911 because I was shot. As soon as I pressed send, I passed out.

Your probably wondering why I was shot of all people, well when you don't keep your mouth shut sometimes and humiliate others, some take it very personally. That's really only reason to hurt me, they don't want to take responsibility for the fact their responsible for me shaming them.

Idol Howdy POV

I sighed in relief as the doctor said that she would be okay and the procedure went smoothly. I was angry and worried, sure I knew she didn't know how to keep her smart mouth shut but it's mostly because she's defending herself.

It was ridiculous and unfair how some people wanted to literally shoot her over simply defending herself from those who had some sort of mean and rude comments.

"Howdy sir, would you like to visit her?" The doctor asked me, I nodded and followed him to her room. Of course, it was private because of me. Only family members were allowed to come and visit her but it's also sad because they didn't really care about her. Another reason for me to be angry.

The doctor opened the door and allowed me to enter. "She's still asleep, but I figured it's best if your here considering her mother said she didn't care to visit, a truly sad thing," The doctor said, then shutting the door behind himself. I sat down and waited.

Y/n POV

I drifted awake, her eyes steadily opening, then looking around. I saw Howdy looking out the window before he looked my way, looking surprised and quickly rushed to my side. "How long was I out for?" I asked, he smiled softly. "It's been three days since you were shot," Howdy said, taking my hand into his.

"Shit, I feel like shit," I stated, he laughed. "Your going to be like that for a long time until you heal completely," Howdy said. "Don't hate me but I had to withdraw you from the competition due to your recovery," Howdy stated.

"O-oh..." I replied, not happy but it was understandable. "I'm glad your okay though," Howdy smiled, his finger caressing my hand softly. "Does the new stations know?" I asked, "Oh, yeah. The headlines aren't exactly good."

"What do you mean?" I asked, "The headlines says 'Rude Skater Gets Shot Down' Not good like I said," Howdy sighed. "Wow, I'm thinking about just quitting now," I admitted. "What! No!" Howdy exclaimed. "This has been your dream for years!" He said.

"Howdy, I don't need negative press plus, you can help me get on my feet if needed," I said, Howdy looked at me sadly, knowing that I was just giving up in fear of the press. "Love, please don't give up," Howdy begged, I looked at him. "I'm sorry but, I prefer not to get shot the second time," I told him. "Plus, I like writing songs, maybe I can be your songwriter part time," I smiled softly.

"Y/n...are you sure?" Howdy asked me once more, "I'm sure."
