𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬. ❥ [catfish and the bottlemen]

how you met.

van:

you were front row at a catfish and the bottlemen concert, moving your head to the good music as you sang the lyrics just like all the other fans. you couldn't help to notice the vocalist kept making eye contact with you most of the show and even thought that maybe it was all in your head.
you waited for the band at the tour buses with your friend and a couple of fans.
"hi i'm van!" he introduced himself with a smile as he always did, ignoring the fact that everyone already knew who he was. you guys talked for a few minutes and you could swear he was trying to flirt with you.
"are you coming again tomorrow?" he asked you with a bright smile
"unfortunately no."
"change your plans, i'm putting your name on the special guest list."

bob:

"wish me luck!" you said to your best friend as you were about to interview one of your favorite bands of all time "i feel like i'm going to faint right here, right now."
"hey relax" she said, grabbing your shoulders and smiling softly  "you're an amazing journalist and it's all going to be fine!"
all that nervousness disappeared the minute you started talking to them, they were all really nice and funny just like you expected them to be.
"so, how was it?" your best friend asked as you walked towards her
"it was amazing, they're all really cool!"
"and pretty cute too."
"yeah, i guess." you shrugged
"what? why are you being so shy about it?" she asked with her arms crossed and one of her eyebrows raised "don't deny it! plus they're one of your favorite bands!"
"shhhh i'm trying to act like a professional business woman here!"
"whatever" she said laughing "i'm going to the bathroom."
you looked around the backstage as you waited for her, you guys were planning on enjoying the rest of the festival together. you were so lost in your own thoughts that a sudden voice made you jump.
"sorry i didn't mean to, um..." the curly haired guy said shyly whilst scratching the back of his neck "you know, scare you."
"don't worry about it" you said laughing playfully, it was amazing how you always got yourself in these awkward situations "i looked like a scared little baby, didn't i?"
you couldn't help to stare at his bright blue eyes through his glasses as a laugh came out of his mouth "yeah, you did."

bondy:

it was a friday night, you and your best friends were at a bar after a long week of hard work.
"am i the only one who noticed that cute guy over there looking at you?"  your best friend said with a smirk on her lips
"he's been staring at me for at least ten minutes now" yeah, and he was pretty fucking cute.
"you should go talk to h- did he just- he just winked at you! he's walking towards us! act cool!"
honestly, she seemed way more excited than you were and that made you laugh.
"i noticed you were looking at me and well..." the guy said pretty straight forward while looking at you from head to toe "i decided to come talk to you"
"what?" you asked raising one of your eyebrows as you felt your cheeks burning
"it's okay. i was kind of staring at you too."
"i get it" you said with a giggle "you're such a player!"
"actually it would be nice if you could just call me by my name"
"which is?"
"johnny bond"
you nodded and the two of you laughed and smiled at each other. you could say that was just the beginning of the night.

benji:

you were smoking by yourself outside the record store your parents owned. it was always nice to take a break when there wasn't any customers.
"excuse me? can i borrow your lighter?" a guy with curly hair asked. he was wearing a black pair of jeans and a black turtleneck.
"yeah sure!" you gave him your lighter and looked at him for a moment as he was lighting his cigarette "um... do i know you from somewhere?"
he looked up to you with a smile "it depends, are you into good music?"
"well, i do work at a record store" you said chuckling "but i do know you! you're in that band! gosh what is it called?! bottle something...?"
"catfish and the bottlemen" he answered with a laugh "you seem to be a big fan"
you felt your cheeks burning and immediately noticed how stupid you sounded. bottle something? what was i thinking?
"that was stupid right? i'm sorry"
"if by stupid you mean cute, yeah, that was pretty stupid."
