Band Imagines

FOB - Patrick Stump

Finding Out Your Best Friend Patrick Has A Crush On You...

Y/N

You had met Patrick by chance, he was taking a day off in the city you lived in and you were busking like you did every day. You'd always been nervous about performing in front of people but the second you start strumming the first note on your guitar the nerves went away and you could captivate your small audience.

When you finished your set a few people came up and dropped leftover change in your trusty bowler hat like they always did, you would smile and thank them but they never gave enough for you to live on.

As you reach down to check your hat someone drops a $20 note into it and you were taken by surprise, this had to be a mistake. You pick up the hat and stand up to face the person who had most likely meant to give you change but the note slipped out.

"Err I think you made a mistake, no one ever pays well."

Your heart literally stops beating as you brush your fringe to the side and come face to face with one of your biggest inspirations, Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. Patrick's face lights up and he refuses to take the money back.

"You have a gift, you shouldn't be busking for a living. Is that an original song?"

You nod unable to form a sentence for a good few seconds before you realise how much of an idiot you must look like. Patrick was talking to you like a normal person and you were internally freaking out.

"Yeah, I write all my own songs. But I occasionally throw in a popular cover to get a crowd gathered."

Patrick nods in understanding and scratches the back of his head.

"Would you maybe like to get a coffee with me? I'd like to discuss music with you more if that's alright. I don't want to come across as creepy."

You throw your head back and laugh. Patrick always came across as cute in interviews and now talking to you he was a slight mess which just made him even more adorable.

"I'd love to get a coffee with you Patrick, I'm Y/N by the way."

And that's the day you and Patrick became best friends.

*2 YEARS LATER*

After forcing you to play for his bandmate Pete around a year ago you were signed to DCD2 Records straight away and every day was amazing. But you were glad your friendship with Patrick only grew stronger.

With Patrick's help your guitar skills improved, he even helped you with writing some of your songs for your debut album.

You were invited to a BBQ for the whole DCD2 family and found yourself talking with Joe and Andy. Sure you were friends with everyone in the band but Patrick was your favourite and the others teased the both of you.

"Has Patrick told you yet Y/N?"

You quirk an eyebrow at Joe and take a swig of your beer.

"I don't think he has Joe."

Okay, now Andy was in on it as well.

"What hasn't Patrick told me?"

Joe and Andy suddenly fall silent and the two exchange a look that tells you they're hiding something from you.

"What are you guys doing over here?"

The three of jump slightly at the sound of Patrick's voice next to you. Joe and Andy make an excuse to leave and you tell him you're going out front to get some air. The three of you leave a very confused Patrick. Then again he was keeping something from you that the rest of the guys knew. You hated people keeping secrets from you especially if they involved you in any shape or form.

It was a lot quieter at the front of the house so you leaned against the porch and sighed. How had your life become this in such a short space of time? If you'd never met Patrick that day you'd still be busking for scraps whereas now you had a fan base and a close-knit family. You wouldn't go back and change anything.

"What were you guys talking about back there Y/N?"

You turn to face Patrick who decides to mirror you and lean against the porch.

"I really should be asking you that question, Patrick. Joe asked me if you'd told me something and upon my silence, Andy jumped in and now I'm suspicious as to what you're keeping from me."

Patrick's eyes widen, now you know he's hiding something from you.

"Err I don't know how to tell you Y/N. I don't want to lose you as a friend."

You sigh in frustration.

"Patrick I could never not be friends with you, because you are the best thing to ever happen to me."

Patrick blushes slightly.

"Okay, I'm just going to come out and tell you. Y/N I'm in love with you. There I said it if you say no I'll blame it on the alcohol."

Your mouth drops open but you quickly close it. Patrick takes your silence as a rejection and goes to head back inside but you unfreeze and grab him by the arm.

"God I feel like a fool, I knew you didn't like me."

You shake your head.

"Patrick I was taken by surprise. I do like you, I like you very much."

Next thing you know Patrick pushes you against the porch quite forcefully and captures your lips, at first your body is in shock because this is a side of Patrick you've never seen before but after a few seconds your hands start to roam up his shirt until both of your hands are locked behind his neck so you can deepen the kiss.

You were unsure early on whether or not you were going to come to Pete's party, but now you were glad that you changed your mind. Now the only thing you had to worry about was how the fans would react.
