you're cute when you're worried // Lannan

Tw- Male persistance, i'm not entirely sure if that needs to be a warning but I can understand if it does. Read safely my dudes (: <3

                                                         -

     The room span around your head, the big blurs of color helped you fixate on where you were, but really you couldn't focus at all. Music rang out in the background, you could see your friends dancing in the corner, giggling and tripping over their own feet. 

     You were sitting on the cold white counter top with a drink in your hand; not entirely sure what was in it, but it tasted of peach and rubbing alcohol. What a great mix. You chuckle at your thought process and begin to stumble over to your friends, they are all so sweet and beautiful. You can't help but admire them as you dance to the beat of the music, unknowingly looking like a drunk idiot. 

    You grew up in the party scene. You had quite a few popular friends, and a rich family too distant to show love and appreciation through anything other than money. The Eacott's were a nice addition to your life, they always provided you with more affection that got you through your youth. You met your dearest friend Tannar in primary school, you basically lived with her all these years. Jarrad always was a protector of you two, and Lannan, Lannan was the sweetheart that never failed to make you laugh.

     It was hard to keep the boys away at this party, you secretly wished Jarrad was here to push them away and let you have fun, but he'd probable be embarrassed of your recent behavior. Honestly, there's not much to be proud of. 

     You needed some fresh air, half near vomiting from the loud bass that jumbled your head and half just at the thought of your future.

     The cooler air attacked you as you stepped into the clarity of the empty outside. Stumbling a little across the pavement you decide to sit on the tiny bench that was provided. Washing away the pain much? Thinking to yourself, you decide its the moment to finish your drink and head back inside, have some fun.

     The music once again pierces your ears and shakes your brain inside your head, or it feels. Looking around, you spot your beautiful blond best friend, having fun for herself, and decide to join her. You giggle at the way she dances while she talks to another girl, probably about makeup or something. Standing near her, but not enough for her to notice your presence, you begin to dance alone. Bad choice.

     A tall blond fellow walks up next to you, and begins to dance alongside you. You slightly gesture away, but his persistence his unnerving. Your ability to comprehend negative behaviors is deterred, and you allow him to dance along your side. 

     Until he gets closer, and tries to grab your hand to lead you away from the group. Although most your ability to recognize bad things is gone, you know this is one. Shyly, you shake your head no, and try to turn back around to head back to the dance floor. He holds on to your hand and pulls you back around. "Darling your so beautiful, would you like to get a drink alone?"

     Quickly you turn away again, to lock eyes on Lannan who's chatting with his sister on the dance floor. Not the brother you planned on seeing save the day, but you were grateful still. 

     I mean damn, did it take you this long to realize how attractive he really is? You've known him for nearly 15 years, but only as a family member. At a party, under these lights, in a different situation than ever before, he's fucking adorable. He catches your eyes.

     A pull at your hand brings you back around, the tall figure standing above you once again. "Can you let go please? I need to get back to my friend." You murmur as he stairs down towards you, an uncomfortable grin plastered on his face.

     You feel familiar hands grab around your waist as you flinch to the sudden touch, flipping around again to make eye contact with Lannan. He makes a gesture at the being behind you, who then walks away without question. You look at him for a good second, the freckles on his face were too cute. You mouth 'thank you' to him, as he looks down at you with disappointment and a slight tinge of guilt.

     You wish he didn't look at you this way, it kind of hurts knowing your innocence has ceased in his eyes. "C'mon, lets get you home" he whispers, grabbing onto your hand lightly and sweetly. He grabs Tannar and leads us out to his car. 

     The drive home is just Tannar and Lannan chatting over regular things, she stumbles a little over her words but she's not nearly as incapable as you managed being. When the car comes to a hault you follow Lannan inside, Tannar throws you pajamas and heads up to her room, obviously tired of tonight's rambles. 

     Truthfully you know exactly where to go, but the night is all too much. "Lets get you to bed (y/n)." Lannan states, hes never seen me like this. 

     "Will you sit with me?" You ask sheepishly with wide eyes, he nods and takes a seat. You try to keep your composure, to not break or be to silly. So simple conversation? Possibly, "So, why were you there?" you ask quietly. 

"Well, (y/n), to be honest I was a tad worried about you, and Tannar obviously." he blinks a few times and looks up at you trying to pry out any emotion he can detect. 

     Looking up at him you smile ear to ear, "Lannan you're cute when you're worried." You blurt out unconsciously, you can feel him chuckle but also swallow a hard and deep swallow.

     "C'mon, lets get you to sleep." He whispers and lowers his head to kiss yours. 

     You look back up at him, "Thank you for saving me tonight." He smiles and walks away, leaving you and your drunken mess on the couch of the living space. 

     "Your cute too when your happy" you can hear him say, while heading up the stairs into his own room. Leaving you with a  smile on your face.
