Classic Rock Imagines

Syd Barrett #6

The UFO was packed tonight. People were all crowded together around the little stage, watching with curious eyes as four musicians filled the room with sound. You smiled proudly up at them, at him in particular. This was not his first gig, but you never wanted to miss seeing him up there, singing the songs he created. You laughed when you saw him look away from his guitar for a moment to look down at you with that little smile.

He felt butterflies in his stomach as he was able to hear your laughter from the crowd. He tried his best to focus on the guitar, but it was hard when all he wanted to do was watch you. The different colored lights illuminated your face and your eyes in particular, and he couldn't stop studying you. When he looked up again his brow furrowed. There was a man next to you, seemingly unable to take his eyes off of you as well.

You felt confused as you followed Syd's gaze behind you.

"Hey there," a man said with sly eyes.

You scoffed and turned back to Syd, rolling your eyes. The guy wouldn't give up though. He tapped your shoulder to capture your attention once again.

Syd felt a stab of jealously in the pit of his stomach and he clenched his jaw as he watched the exchange of words between the two of you.

"Don't be rude, baby, I'm just trying to say hi," the man said.

"Get lost," you said and moved away from him.

"You're loss," he said and thankfully moved on to bother someone else.

The rest of the show went great and you had completely forgotten the events from before, but Syd couldn't shake it. He ran backstage and through the door to find you. He felt a little better when he saw you waiting for him by the stage door. He slowed his pace, smiling as he watched your eyes search for his.

"There you are," you said, skipping towards him.

He reached out and grabbed your hand, pulling you into him and immediately finding your lips on his. He smiled at the little sound of surprise that escaped your mouth. He reached his hand up and wound his fingers gently through your hair, holding your head in place as he kissed you firmly. He let out a relieved sigh at the feel of you against him and only him. That's how he wanted it to stay. He pulled away, leaving you breathless as he allowed his eyes to wander over each part of your face.

"What was that fo-?"

He put his finger to your lips and pulled your hand again so that you were close enough for him to whisper in your ear.

"Let's get out of here," he said, sending a shiver down your spine at the sound of his cool British voice and his hot breath on your ear.

You almost couldn't control yourself in that moment. With just those words he set you on fire, or at least that's what it felt like.

When he pulled back he smirked proudly at the blush he left on your cheeks. You felt your stomach twist. You nodded and he guided you through the crowded streets back to the flat he shared with Rick, who he hoped wouldn't be back for a good while.

You kept hearing his voice in your ear as you walked, and it kept making you feel dizzy with anticipation. Syd was usually cool and collected when it came to you, but he seemed a little unhinged when he kissed you this time. It was more urgent, more pressing and you were curious to find out more.

You finally reached the steps to the door. He quickly unlocked the it and dragged you in, quickly slamming it behind you and pushing you up against it. His lips found yours almost immediately as he grabbed your hands and pinned them above you. His body pressed up against yours slowly, allowing you to feel each part of him as he moved with you. You tried to move your hands to unbutton his shirt, but he held them firmly in place, making you whimper. He kissed you hard, just like before, with all the intent of proving it to himself that you were his.

"Syd," you breathed in between his urgent kisses.

"Mm," was the only sound that escaped him as he continued.

He was barely giving himself time to breath, but he couldn't stop. He wanted you, all of you right now.

"Syd," you panted, "as much as I love this, and believe me I do," you said as he left fervid kisses on your jaw, "what is going on?"

He suddenly stopped, closing his eyes and clenching his jaw as he rested his forehead on yours. Your now concerned eyes searched his face for an answer as you listened to his deep breaths. He was silent.

You gently attempted to move your hands from his grip, and he allowed you to. He left his hands pinned to the wall as you let yours wander to his face. You held his face in your palms, letting your thumb move slowly over his soft skin.

"Syd," you whispered again, making his breath a little uneven, "talk to me."

"I love you," he said softly.

He kept his eyes closed, somewhat afraid that if he opened them he might not find you there.
He looked so beautiful as you watched him so close to you. You shifted your head slowly and softly pressed your lips to his.
Syd felt a wave of relief wash over him at your touch. You pulled away after a moment to patiently wait for him to speak again. You saw a faint smile pull at his lips.

"I do. I love you, and I want you so much and I don't want you to go away. Because if you go away," he started to trail off, unable to collect his thoughts.

"I love you, Syd."

He opened his eyes to meet yours.

"I love you," you repeated.

He suddenly felt silly for even worrying at all, because all he could find in your eyes was honesty. He kissed you again with the same urgency as before, but this time it wasn't because he was jealous, or scared. It was simply because he wanted you here, now and all of the time.

You smiled into his kiss and he let his arms down to wrap tightly around your waist.

Suddenly, the door started to open, but Syd reached his hand back and closed it once again.

"Hey, what gives?" You heard Rick say.

You both laughed, "Come back later," he said to Rick as he picked you up to walk towards the bedroom.

This almost got a little smutty (which was definitely the intent) but then my mind took it in a different direction. But! If you guys want some Syd Barrett smut let me know 😉
