Euphoria // Grunge One-Shots

Crush - Chris Cornell*

"You're doing it again, darling." Lina comments, snapping me out of my intense gaze. All the heat rushes to my cheeks and I can feel myself getting a tomato shade of red.

Lina chuckles and nudges me playfully, "When are you ever gonna tell him?"

My eyes snap up to meet hers, "Are you insane? Never, obviously..."

She shakes her head and gets up to get some drinks. We're at Chris' house, along with a lot of other people. It's his birthday tonight and Chris wouldn't miss any chance at giving a party. So here we are, attending his party.

The 'funny' thing is, I've been wanting to leave this place ever since I set foot in it. I just can't function around many people and this house is crowded. Okay, maybe that's not the main reason, but it's definitely a reason. The main reason is that I can't stand Chris flirting with multiple people and some girls practically throwing themselves at him.

It just hurts, seeing him like that. His attention at everyone, but me. We've been friends for a long time now, Lina being his neighbor and me being Lina's best friend.

Our first meeting was rather funny, actually.

"Just, please open the door, won't you? He's not as bad as I always say." Lina tells me from her position in the bathroom.

I'm currently sitting on the couch, considering if I should open for the ass who's Lina's neighbor. It's not that I know him personally, it's just that he's always loud, with everything, and I don't like loud people.

"Alright, alright, I'm on my way..."

It's a short walk to the door and when I reach it, I open it, curious to see who the guy next door is.

I freeze as soon as my eyes land on his form. He's goddamn gorgeous. I can't help but stare at him, those eyes, jesus.

"Hi, ehm, you don't live here, do ya?" the guy asks, snapping me out of my gaze. I shake my head, "Nope, you already know who loves here, don't you? I'm her friend."

He chuckles. Oh my god, he's chuckling. Nope. Get your shit together (Y/N). "Can I help you?" I ask, trying to sound as uninterested as possible.

"Ehm, yes actually. I lost my key on my way home. I know Lina has a spare key of mine, in case things like this happen... Could you maybe get it for me?"

I nod casually, "Yeah sure."

In the meantime, Lina got out of the bathroom and got changed, now standing in the living room, rummaging through a drawer. When she finds what she's looking for, she throws a key at me and I only barely catch it.

"That's his spare key.." Lina explains as I walk back to the door.

The guy is still standing there, a lazy smirk on his face. "Nice catch, there."

I scoff, "Oh shove off."

He takes the key from me and moves to go back to his apartment, but halts halfway, "I'm Chris, by the way."

"(Y/N)."

So yeah, our first meeting was him asking for his spare key. It wasn't that funny, actually. But thinking about it always brings a smile to my face.

The smile soon falters when I see another girl throwing herself at Chris, though.

"Stop the sad face, (Y/N). Stop it, or do something about it. It's getting frustrating to see you like this." Lina tells me as she hands me a drink.
