Bulletproof Love (Pierce the Veil fanfic)

Something Will Always Get in The Way of Happiness.

*Mikes P.O.V*

I walked out of the shop and headed towards the car where Tony sat in the driver’s seat lighting up a cig. I hopped in and pulled out my phone to text Vanessa.

Me: Hey you :) It’s Mike x

“She’s pretty hot huh?” Tony said as he took a drag from the cigarette and exhaled out the window. I twirled my phone in my hand smiling then looked to the front. “Hell yeah, she’s even got tattoos!” He laughed and headed towards the hotel we were staying at.

“She does? How do you know! Jeez Mike, did yous do something whilst I was getting tatted?” He looked at me and wiggled his eyebrows. I punched his arm in defence and laughed. “No! I saw one on her hand, and then I asked if she had anymore and she showed me the ones on the side of her body. She has some lyrics from 3 of our songs put together as well, and they look amazing.” My phone buzzed again and I swiped the screen to unlock it.

Vanessa: hey  ^,^ x

I smiled and locked my phone again, putting it on the dash. “Was that her?” I nodded and yawned as we pulled up to the hotel. “Yo let’s head in, you look pretty knackered.” I hopped out the car and headed through the entrance towards the elevator. When we stepped in Tony turned to look at me with a very serious look plastered over his face. “I know you’re probably going to hit me after I say this, but do you like her?” I raised an eyebrow and laughed at him.

“Are you kidding me? This is only the second time we’ve met. How could I possibly like her? Yeah she’s pretty hot with a chill personality, but that’s it. I just find her interesting.” He studied me for a sec – I’m guessing to see if I was lying, then shrugged and leaned against the wall. The door dinged and we headed towards the room, where we swiped the card to enter. “Boys we’re back!” I called out to Vic and Jaime. There was no reply so I guessed they were out. I headed towards the bathroom and splashed my face with water, just to wake myself up a bit. I braced myself against the sink and looked at myself in the mirror. Did I like Vanessa already? I don’t think I did, even though she makes me feel this tiny bit of… I don’t even know how to explain it. Happiness? I shook my head to shake the thoughts out, and headed out to the lounge. “Vic and Hime left a note saying they’ve gone out to get alcohol. They said they’re sick of boring nights, so we’re getting fucked up!” Tony said with a huge grin. I grinned back and hi fived him. Everybody got time for alcohol, especially when it comes to whiskey.

*Vanessa’s P.O.V*

I looked at the time and it was going on 7. We had two clients that were just being finished up, but I decided to close up for the night as we were way past our closing time. I walked up to the entrance of the shop and turned the sign over to ‘Closed’. “Soph I’m heading out for the night, I’ll see you tomorrow yeah?” I headed over to the kitchen area in the back and grabbed my bag. Her tattoo gun stopped buzzing and I heard her mumble to her client. “Yeah that’s cool. Be safe, I’ll see you later!” she called out. I waved goodbye to Matt as I headed out the front door and into the cool breeze of LA. It was a pretty warm night tonight, and it made me feel good. Today was a good day for me, it’s been awhile since I’ve had one. I smiled at the thought of Mike and how he remembered me from a year ago. I felt special, as if I stuck out to him amongst the hundreds of people that were there that day. Well, I sort of did thanks to Dylan and his weird actions. My phone buzzed and snapped me out of my thoughts.
