Avenged Sevenfold Imagines

Brooks x Reader [Fluff]

You and the guys have known each other for the longest time. Ever since high school, and you knew you were right. You remembered very clearly the stunt Zacky pulled before he ended up suspended.

Of course, you haven't met their neew drummer, Brooks Wackerman before. You were single of course, and haven't found the.. "right one" yet. You went to every one of their practices, but of course not when you were sick or just tired. Every time you went to their practices, you saw Brooks from the corner of your eye.

You never bothered to talk to the drummer. You were shy, and you didn't want to end up like a fool. What if he had a girlfriend? Wife? You didn't want to be rejected, that's for sure.

"What's up, [Y/N]?" Zacky asked as he came and sat next to you on the couch. The guys were all taking a break from their practice, and obviously Zacky knew something was up with you. You never told the guys about your new "crush" on the new drummer, and you would feel completely embarrassed to tell them. "Oh, come on. I've known you since high school, [Y/N]. I'm not stupid." Zacky said as you sighed, shifting so that your attention was on Zacky's.

"Just.. I've been thinking," You said as your eyes were on Zacky's green eyes before you glanced to the floor. How do you tell one of your best friends that you wanted so badly to date Brooks Wackerman? "Does.. does Brooks have a um.. girlfriend?" You stuttered out, shifting uncomfortably in the couch. You rubbed the neck of your neck nervously as you have a slight cough.

"Brooks? Brooks as in Brooks the new drummer?" Zacky cackled as you looked up at him wide eyed, shutting his mouth with your hand. He smirked before he removed your hand from your mouth. Shit, now he had something on you. "Oh, so you got the hots for the new dude, huh? Well, I don't think he has a girlfriend. He hasn't brought it up before," Zacky shrugged with the same smirk as you thought even more. Should you just.. talk to him? "Are you going to talk to him or what?" Zacky asked you as your eyes were now on Brooks. He was practicing some drum solos from the guys' new album, The Stage.

"Well.. probably not," You admitted with a small blush on your face. You didn't want to admit that you already liked someone. But how can you not? Its Brooks - handsome, hilarious; the perfect package. "I probably won't ever if I'm being honest. To my luck, Ill make a complete fool out of myself." You said with a shrug before looking back at Zacky.

"Fine. Do you want us to talk to him for you?" Zacky asked you as your eyes went wide again, shaking your head furiously. "I thought so. You have the guts to talk to him. Just do it. Start off with a generic conversation. Like.. how are you? Do you like any movies? Books? All that good stuff." Zacky said as you giggled with a small smirk.

"Alright, Cupid. Maybe after practice." You said as Zacky chuckled before Matt told the guys to get ready to practice. The guys obliged and got ready to rock out again.

-

After practice, Zacky, Brian, Johnny, and Matt all knew that you were going to talk to Brooks, thanks to Zacky. You sighed as you watched the four of them leave with smirks on their faces. Gaining enough confidence, you stood up from the couch and walked up to the drummer.

"Oh, hey [Y/N]," Brooks said as he packed his drumsticks in his bag. He glanced up at you every few seconds before tending to his bag again. You rubbed your neck nervously, not knowing exactly what to say. Before you were going to say something, Brooks started to say something. "O-oh. You first." He chuckled as he zipped up his bag to give his full attention on you.

"I've never talked to you before, so I just..." You blushed lightly as you looked at the ground. You've never felt this nervous before. You were always open and right off the bat. "I just decided to talk to you, and-"

"Did you want to maybe go on a date with me sometime?" Brooks interrupted you before your gaze met his. Your eyes were as wide as can be. You never expected this. "I'm.. sorry, that was probably too quick-"

"It wasn't," You replied hesitantly, looking up at the drummer. Brooks smiled before you rubbed your neck some more, your eyes glancing at something and somewhere else rather than Brooks. "I've.. actually wanted to get to know you more. We haven't talked before, and.. well, from practices, you're quite different." You laughed a bit before your eyes were back on Brooks.

"Well, I'd like to get to know you more too, [Y/N]," Brooks said with a nod, placing his backpack around his shoulders. "So, that date? Ill just.. text you?" Brooks asked as you nodded, with a small blush on your face. Your grin was as wide as ever and you couldn't believe that Brooks was actually asking you out on a date.

"Yea," You replied breathlessly before Brooks smiled, waving goodbye before making his way to the door. "See ya." You called out before he left, your stomach doing loops. Your face was stuck like glue with the grin and blush as you just stood there on awe.

"So, how did it go?" Zacky asked as he came back in the room, Matt, Johnny, and Brian following. They all had smug smirks on their faces as their arms were crossed together.

"We are going on a.. a date." You blurted out with a small giggle as you looked at them. They smiled and high-fived each other.

"What did I say about talking to him?" Zacky laughed as you blushed some more, looking at the ground. "We knew that Brooks had a liking to you since day one. You are welcome." Your gaze was on Zacky and you couldn't believe the four idiots.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" You asked with a loud giggle. They all laughed before you sighed. "Well, no matter what, I still love you idiots." You said before you were squished by the four of them, bombarding you.

"And we love you too, dumbass." Brian muttered before you smiled wide, hugging them all. You were glad to have those four guys as your best friends. And thanks to them, you were going on your first ever date with Brooks Wackerman.
