When you wake up the next morning Conan is already awake, sat groggily with a cup of lukewarm coffee at the edge the couch. Even the the Tv is on, the silence is unusual as you pour yourself a cup and sit on the other side of the sofa. You glance to over Conan as you sip on your drink. He turns, staring back at you, without saying anything looks back at the Tv. You scoff, suddenly annoyed at Conan, trying to find something wrong just to piss him off. 

"The coffee is cold." You say with a hint of irritation in your voice, looking directly at Conan. He sighs, turning to you so your faces are close, a bit too close. 

"Then don't drink it." He finishes, deadpanned.  You frown- annoyed that Conan remains emotionless.

  "Wasn't planning to." You say bitterly, excusing yourself and leaving your cold coffee on the table with a thud.

The next few days were the same;  angst, bitchy comments and cold coffee.

 "Ashley's gonna come over later." You inform Conan, who just shrugs. 

"Okay." You frown, missing Conan, your Conan, the old Conan.

Sitting on the bathroom floor, you cry silently, letting the tears that you've stored come pouring out. Suddenly there's a knock at the door. 

"Yes?" You say, clearing your throat and drying your eyes. "Open the door, Y/n." Conan says firmly. "Open it." He repeats.  

"No."

"Y/n. Open. the . door."

You sigh, reluctantly opening the door. Conan expression softens and he stares at you with his deep brown eyes which makes you cry even more.

"Why is is so hard to stay mad at you?" You ask in between choked sobs as Conan hugs you tightly- you nestling into his shoulder. 

"Because you looovvveee me."  He laughs, wiping your tears away giving you a grin. "C'mon."

When the doorbell finally rings, announcing Ashleys arrival you rush to get it, excited and happy to see her. 

"Ashley!" You exclaim, bringing her into a hug.

 "Hi Y/n, hi Cone! I've missed you guys so much!" 

Conan grins gesturing for Ashley to come in.

"The party was pretty manic." Ashley continues after putting the cookies you just baked into the oven. 

You nod, avoiding Conan's gaze. 

Ashley senses this and smiles sympathetically, "It's always hard to hear that your best friend is an famous singer and you didn't know." Ashley jokes, pointing to Conan with jazz hands who is just stood there.

You snort.  "Yeah right." 

No one replies as Ashley and Conan stare at you with confused looks on there faces. Are they for real??  What. The. Hell. 

You stare at Ashley in disbelief not knowing what to think. 

"What?" You ask, then again, only louder. "What?!"  Ashley and Conan look confused. 

"I thought Ashley told you at the party?" Conan asks pointedly. 

Ashley puts her hands up, "I thought Conan told you at the party!"  

You're not bothered about their arguing though- it all made sense now. The massive apartment. The selfies with -probably- fans. When you thought you heard his voice on the radio. 

Grabbing your phone swiftly, you search, Conan Gray, and to no ones (but yours) surprise, it comes up.

You smile, turning to Conan. "This is.. Wow." 

He grins as you put your phone down, you, still unable to process what just happened.

 "Why did you keep it a secret?" You ask. Conan looks at the floor. 

"I thought if you knew, it might change your view of me?" He offers a small smile as you laugh, shoving him playfully. 

Ashley rolls her eyes, "Get a room."

You blush and look the floor, avoiding everyone's gaze. Conan has an expression on his face as though he's solving the theory of relativity, he looks at you in confusion as you turn to face him.

"What?" You ask.

"I thought you were mad at me for keeping the whole singer-thing to myself... but you weren't because no one had told you...." He trails of, as if in thought. ".... So why were you mad..?"

You turn away. Jealousy because you sucking a girls face off, you oblivious asshole.  Instead, you settle for, "Because I saw you at the party with that girl." You say, looking down.

 Conan and Ashley give each other a look. "What girl?" They say in unison. 

You frown, pausing, "The girl Conan was making out with at the party." You answer bluntly.

Conan's eyes widen and  Ashley's mouth forms an o as she turns to him. She tsk's him as Conan stands their speechless for a while. After about 2 minutes of awkward silence, Conan finally speaks.

"Y/n, I don't know what you think you saw, but really, I didn't make out with anyone at that party." 

You sigh. "Okay. I believe you."  Conan looks skeptical as Ashley whips out her phone.

"10:30." She says, "That's when you left me to go outside Y/n. And this is a video my friend took at the party at 32 past." 

You look at the phone in front of you as Ashley presses play. 

The screen is shaky and the room is busy and filled with people. A girl holds the camera up to her makeup-smudged face. 

"It's fucking Conan gray." She whispers silently into the phone glancing at someone off camera. She then tilts the phone slightly- revealing Conan who is talking with Ashley and a few other people. 

She then turns the phone back to herself as she covers her mouth by her hand in disbelief, still occasional glancing over at him.

"I, Layla Mann, have just seen Conan Gray, on the..." She checks a clock in the background, "on the 15th August, 10: 32." She squeals, the camera still blurry and shaking slightly. "I'm gonna go say hi!" She exclaims, her hand cutting of the video, as she smugly murmurs, "Suck on that Lydia."


The video stops and Ashley puts her phone back in her pocket, while Conan murmured something about mobbed by fans. You laugh slightly, but then remember your overdue apology.

"Sorry guys." You murmur.

You glance at Ashley, and then at Conan , relieved that it wasn't him kissing the girl. Conan offers you a lopsided smile, which you return as you pull him and Ashley in for a group hug.
