Bands imagines.

Ben Bruce

“Can I have that one?” some kid asked.

“Which one?” you replied. The kid eagerly pointed to a black shirt that read “don’t pray for me”. You grabbed one from the storage bin under the table and handed it to him, taking the cash from his hand. Thankfully he made sure it was exact change, and as you out it in the cash box, he ran away. You looked at your watch and realized you had an hour until you could leave the tent and hang with the band. You sighed, and went to help Marci get extra shirts from the trailer.

“Hey Y/N!” You heard Ben say. You were one of Asking Alexandria’s merch girls, and throughout your time at Warped Tour, you had become really good friends with the band, especially Ben.

“Hey Ben.  Sorry, but I’ve got to get these extra shirts out front, ASAP.” You said as you pulled back the curtain and set down the container.

“Hey Y/N. Really quick, I need to tell you something.” Ben said. You walked over to him and put your ear near his lips. “I think you look really hot in my merch.” He said with a smirk. You scoffed and walked away. You didn’t mean to be a bitch, but it was extremely hot and you were in a bad mood. You and Marci handed kids their merch and they went running off to other band’s tents.

~~~~~ An Hour Later ~~~~~

You were sitting under a tent near a fan when Ben came up to you again. You wanted to apologize for early.

“Ben, I’m sorry I was acting like a bitch earlier.” You said.

“It’s fine Y/N. But you do know what I said earlier is true? I do find you incredibly attractive.” Ben said with a smile.

“Thanks Ben.” You replied. He smiled and nodded. He sat down next to you and grabbed a beer from the cooler in front of you.

You and Ben made small talk for at least a half an hour. You learned more about him, and you decided to let him know a little about you. After you and Ben had been sitting there for forty minutes or so, Alan Ashby came and sat down in the chair next to the cooler.

“So you’re Y/N, right?” Alan asked. You smiled and nodded. “Do you know how much a polar bear weighs?” you shook your head. “Enough to break the ice, hi I’m Alan Ashby and I think you’re really cute.” He said, grinning.

“Thanks, and I know who you are. You’re in one of my favorite bands. And you’re kinda cute too.” You replied, laughing.

“So how long are you gonna be on Warped, and most importantly, are you single?” he asked. Before you could answer, you felt two arms wrap around your shoulders. You looked up and saw familiar dirty blonde hair and spider bites.

“Ben?” you asked. You felt him kiss your head, and you weren’t going to lie to yourself, your stomach filled with butterflies. You did always find Ben very attractive.

“What’s up Ben?” you asked, curious as to why he was acting like this.

“Nothing.” He said. He leaned down and pressed his lips to your cheek. You felt your face heat up, and you smiled, savoring the moment.

“I guess that’s a no to being single…” Alan said with a tone of disappointment in his voice. You smiled sadly at Alan and turned to Ben as Alan walked away.

“What was that?” you asked.

“I dunno, I really like you Y/N, and seeing Alan flirting with you bothered me.” Ben said, looking at his feet.  You stood up and wrapped your arms around him. He hugged you back, and you knew he was smiling.

“It’s okay. I have feelings for you too. Now, how about we make it official?” you asked. You normally weren’t one to ask boys out, but you knew Ben would say yes.

“Sure!” Ben said as an ecstatic smile spread across his face. He pulled you in, but instead of hugging you, he planted his lips on yours. Once you pulled away, Ben smiled at you. A lot of people catcalled you guys and made fun of you, but you laughed it off. You looked at Ben, who was also laughing.

“You have no idea how much I’ve always wanted to do that.”
