Hey, Neighbour (Josh Dun x Reader)[#Wattys2016]

all i wanted was sugar

'MELS DID YOU NOT BUY SUGAR ON THE WAY HOME?' I shout to Melanie's room.

'NO, SORRY I FORGOT.'

'UGHHHHHH,' I groan loudly.

'JUST ASK JOSH NEXT DOOR.'

But that's exactly what I didn't want to do. You see, things had gotten a little awkward ever since the museum trip. it was clear that Ashley REALLY didn't want us to form a friendship. He won't even glance at me in the corridors anymore.

'Okay fine...' I mutter, making my way to the door.

I knock on the door.

No response.

I knock again.

No response.

'Why does this happen every time,' I mutter to myself and press my ear against the door.

Hey he's listening to Mikey's band! I think to myself as I hear the guitar riff of Helena.

'YO DUDE THATS MCR!' I bang on the door, ear still pressed against it.

All of a sudden the door swings open and I fall into the arms of Joshua.

'Ew you creep get off,' I say, pushing him away and brushing myself off.

'Hey! Your the one who fell onto me,' he says, accusingly.

I ignore him and look over to the speaker.

'I didn't know you listened to Mikey's band,' I say.

'Well I do,' he says, looking in the same direction, 'Anyway, why are you here?'

'Ah yes!' I say, remembering, 'I need sugar.'

'Well you came to the right place, I happen to have lots of it,' he says, pulling out several bags of sugar.

'Thanks,' I say taking one bag from his arms.

I proceeded to walk through his kitchen and take a seat at his table.

'What are you doing?' he asked.

'Hey, you did this to me last time, so I might as well do it to you.'

'Erm... ok,' he says sitting across from me.

'So... you never did serenade me with your drums did you?' I say, smiling.

He smiles back, 'Fine! Since your so thirsty,' he says, getting up from his seat slowly and making his way to his drum kit.
He places himself on the stool and I sit on the floor cross-legged across from him.
He began to hit the skins of the drums with pure force, his head banging along with the beat.

'Woah,' I say, mesmerised.

I look around the room and instantly notice the keyboard in the corner.

Assuming it was Tyler's, I approached it and sat myself down. I began to play a few chords, going along with the time of Josh's drums.
Before I knew it, the simple chords had evolved into developed melodies, still carrying on the beat of Josh's drums.
Once the last melody was played and the last beat was hit we stopped at looked at each other, smiles on our faces.

'Forget Tyler, we should form a band,' I say, still smiling.

'Yeah, I don't think Tyler would be too happy about that,' Josh says, laughing and getting up from the drum kit stool, 'he's already kicked me out of the band many a time.'

'But there's only two of you.'

'Exactly.'

I don't know how many hours has gone past however I was still at Josh's place, and we had some what ended up lying together on his bad, still making conversation that somehow seemed to keep flowing.

'Hey (y/n),' he said, suddenly putting an arm around me, beer in other hand.

'Yeah?'

'You never did tell me who you liked...' he said, looking at me.

'You really want to know?'

'Mmhmm.'

'You really want to know the truth?'

'Mmhmm.'

'I like...'

'Yeah?'

'...Dallon.'

Josh spits his beer out.

'WHAT?'

I start laughing uncontrollably, clutching onto my sides.

'No I just want to see your reaction,' I laugh, almost crying.

'Oh...' Josh says, smiling and rolling his eyes.

'What do you even like about Ashley anyway?' I say out of the blue, sipping my beer.

'Hmmm... I don't really know, I was think about breaking up with her anyway.'

'Really? Why?' I say, looking up at him.

'Well... to be honest I kinda like someone else right now,' he says, looking down on me.

His eyes travel from my eyes to my lips and he slowly leans his head in. I lift my head up and before I knew it, there were another pair of soft lips on mine. This wasn't like the drunken kiss from the other night, it was slow and soft. The kiss soon became deeper and rougher. He pushed me down onto the bed and put his hand through my hair.

'We can't do this,' I say, between kisses.

He doesn't respond, however in response, kisses me harder, his hands travelling upwards.

When all of a sudden we hear a knock on the door.

We instantly jump up from the bed and both adjust ourselves back to composure.
Josh quickly makes his way to the door and I follow shortly behinds.

He swings the door open.

'Oh hey Josh, I think I left my—'

It was Ashley, and she was now looking at me.

'Erm, what is she doing here?' she says, giving me a look.

'Oh I-I Erm just came t-to get sugar,' I say, grabbing the sugar that lay on the kitchen counter and rushing out the door, quickly back to my own apartment.

I opened the door to our apartment and quickly shut the door behind me.

'Hey, that was a VERY long trip just to get sugar,' Melanie says, smiling at me.

'Ha, well I had some other stuff to deal with,' I say quickly before rushing into my room and shutting their door.

Why did I just do that?
