Nothing But Thieves Oneshots

Phil's pov

I sat on a loveseat in the corner of the room, silently watching the rest of the band.

Dom and Joe were sat together, talking about new guitar riffs. Conor and Y/N were talking about lyrics while Price was in a different building recording his drums.

My bass was on my lap as I watched Conor and Y/N talk. Y/N would usually sing backing vocals and help Conor and Joe (and sometimes Dom) with lyrics. I watched them, Dom - my cousin - and Joe were the only ones who knew about my crush on Y/N.

I didn't want to tell Conor because Conor is Y/N's cousin, and they were close.

Dom and Joe looked over at me and saw me looking at Y/N. "Phil." Dom said with a smile, I looked over at Dom and Joe. "Hm? Yeah?" Joe smiled at me. "Tell her, man." He walked over, sitting on the arm of the loveseat. Dom sits on the other arm of the seat.

"But-" Dom cuts me off. "Ah ah ahh... You tell her, or I will." He smirked at me. "Dom, please don't do this..." I muttered, looking at Dom pleadingly. "Yeah, come on Dom, don't be a dick." Joe crossed his arms as he rolled his eyes.

"Just tell her, what can go wrong?" Dom asked. I shrugged, "She'd say no..." Dom nodded, still smiling. "And she won't. Have you seen the way she looks at you?" Dom asked, Joe nodded in agreement. "It's pretty obvious she likes you back, mate." He said, running a hand through his hair.

I shook my head, "But what if she doesn't? What if I'm just getting the wrong idea?" I looked over at Y/N and Conor again. Joe draped his arm over my shoulder, pulling me closer to him - though it didn't really work because I was a lot taller than him, even while sitting. "Don't worry about it! I'm sure she does like you."

"Just shoot your shot man." Dom nudged me with his elbow. "Just, get her alone - away from Conor - and tell her." Joe smiled at me as he took his arm off my shoulder.

"Oh fuck... fuck me, man..." I muttered as I slowly stood up. I walked over to Conor and Y/N and they both turn to me. Conor smiled at me and I smiled back, "What's up, Phil?" Conor asked with his usual big smile.

"Uh- could I... possibly speak to uhm... Y/N for a moment?" I asked, trying to not embarrass myself. "Oh, sure. What'd you need me for?" Y/N asked. "Just uhm... come with me..." I muttered before walking off.

She had followed me out the room and into the vocals recording room. The microphone was off, it was all okay, Conor wouldn't have needed to be singing today.

"Uhm... So..." I stuttered after I closed the door behind her. "What's wrong?" Y/N looked up at me. She was slightly shorter than me, about 5'9 - 5'10, a lot taller than her cousin.

"Uhm... Y/N... I think I uhm... I uh..." I trailed off, she looked at me confused. "Uh..." I looked away from her. "Phil... Are you alright?" She asked, her voice was full of concern.

"I like you!" I finally said. "I like you..." I repeated. "Wha- really?" She asked, her face lit up and I nodded in response. "I like you too, Phil!" She said with a big smile. My eyes widened, "Oh! Wait, really?" She nodded, placing a kiss on my cheek.

"I've gotta go help Conor now, though. Love you!" She smiled at me as she walked back into the main room, leaving me in the recording booth with a blushing face.

"I love you too..."
