All of my 5sos work

Reunion

Walking into the room it felt weird, everyone returning to their cliques and joking as if we were back in High School. Moving out of the doorway I wandered around, looking for anyone who I knew well as opposed to talking to the ones who used to criticise me. Glancing up I saw someone waving in my direction, checking around to see that they actually meant to talk to me I walked towards the group, smiling as I did. 

"I can't believe you came!" Y/f/n squealed, bringing me into a tight hug, just like old times. "How are things with you?" I let out a small laugh, back in High school everyone thought I would go off and do something with my humour as that was what I was mainly known for, that and one other factor that shaped who I am. 

I wasn't going to boast, I didn't come here to show off my success like others did, "Well I'm a doctor now." Everyone began to ask questions about what it was like to be in that environment and how challenging it was to get through the exams to be where I am today. 

"Have you seen Luke yet?" Another person asked and all went quiet in our group, I cleared my throat and someone else tried to change the topic of conversation. 

Back in High school Luke was my boyfriend, we weren't secret, we didn't prance around showing off our relationship but people knew we were together. Yet when we both started applying to colleges we wanted to go in different routes, the break up wasn't messy but it was kind of ugly yet I do miss him. "I haven't seen him since we graduated." I spoke up and some I saw a few of them nod or subtly exchange looks. 

"Wait, is that, is that Luke?" Y/f/n spoke up in the middle of an anecdote someone was telling causing an abrupt silence to occur around us as he walked in, unaware of the attention he was creating. 

If I wasn't in a public place my jaw might've dropped to the ground. Since graduating he must've worked out, looking at him now he looks broad, muscular. My eyes wander up to his face, his once pushed back light blonde hair that I always styled has now gotten darker and is flatter, less voluminous but it suited him, his blue eyes stood out as clear as day even with all these dim lights. Even after all these years he knew how to dress well, create a good first impression and damn, he knows how to work it. 

Pushing my brown hair out of my eyes I continued talking to my friends as they all focused on him in that blue suit, similar to the one he wore to graduation, the shame shade that I told him brought the blue out in his eyes. Even with my back turned he was giving me chills with his voice, hearing him having small talk with others, talking nonsense made my heart race inside of my chest. In my mind it itched for me to turn around, give him a smile or have a chat to him, but my heart reflected on the life I have now. 

Luke was apart of who I used to be, when I was thinking about colleges but not sure where life would lead me. Whereas now I have a brilliant career and I'm job focused, sure my parents wished I had someone but I didn't, there hadn't really been anyone serious after Luke. 

"Y/n?" Closing my eyes I let the sound of my name in his voice sink in, in that moment I allowed it to consume me. A sense of nostalgia becoming alight as I turned around, my eyes locking with his. It seemed like some sort of trance, my eyes refused to part gaze with his, I felt absorbed by the enticing cerulean shades within his eyes, how wrinkles formed slightly around his eyes meaning he was smiling at me. "I thought it was you, how have you been?" He asked, motioning to move towards the drinks as he poured one out for me and for himself. 

As he passed the drink to me his fingers lingered against my hand, I heard that familiar soft chuckle beneath his breath; looks like some things never change. "I've been doing great, I'm a Doctor now." He stopped drinking his drink and placed it down. 

Bringing his arms up he hugged me tightly, just like he used to. "I always knew you had the potential to do great things and help others Y/n." He beamed and I couldn't help but smile with pride. "Ah, there it is." He pointed to my smile. "I've missed that." 

It's just the nostalgia you two feel, it's nothing more. 

I tried convincing myself but seeing him stood before me didn't feel like it was just nostalgia, it felt like more. "So how have you been since college?" He took a quick sip at his drink before putting it back down and placing his hands in his trouser pockets, effortless but made me smile inside. Reminding me of how he would wait for me after school by my car and then we'd go for a drive, just the two of us and not have to worry about anyone or anything with school, graduating or college, not thinking or focusing on our relationship ending. 

Everything seemed so easy. 

"Well I'm now a CEO of Hi or Hey records," He chuckled as he focused on the ground and I couldn't comprehend it. Sure I'd heard of the record label, I remember all of the songs Luke would play to me or sing lyrics that came into his head, but never did I think he would make something of it. 

"I mean, wow." I was stunned, the look on his face told me he couldn't quite get to grips with it either. 

"Yep, it's a big deal. But so is being a Doctor, I mean helping people everyday is huge." He nudged me and all I could do was nod.This felt right, the atmosphere between the two of us and the jokey manner, it's as if nothing's changed. "I'd love to go for coffee some time, we can catch up some more. There's so much I have to tell you." In that moment a glimpse of the shy guy who asked me out was seen, a sense of vulnerability on display. 

Sizing up to him although he was only a few inches taller than me I saw a slight blush rise in his cheeks. "Are you asking me on a date Hemmings?" Raising an eyebrow to him I saw a small smile forming on his face. 

"Yes, yes I am." He stated as he kept his eyes focused on mine, I barely felt his fingers brush against mine as I fixated on his eyes, on all the features I'd missed. 

Breaking the silence I spoke up, "So, tomorrow?" 

He nodded in response, picking something out of his pocket, "Here's my number, see you handsome." Winking he placed the card in my top pocket before walking away, leaving me stunned on the spot. 

Looks like he still has that effect on me then.
