Shawn Mendes Imagines

The Night We Fell in Love

Y/N POV
Shawn's career just started to pick up.
With the release of "Stitches," he really started to get a lot more attention and popularity. He started to go on the road more often to promote, perform and record. He was finally gonna be home for a couple days after being away for almost a month. At the time, it was the longest we went without seeing each other. My best friend was finally coming home and we were gonna spend some time together.

I was upstairs in my room, anticipating his arrival. His family was downstairs fixing up a good meal for him and everyone. Although I was hyped to see him again, I felt distant. We hadn't talked much while he was away. I knew he was busy with work but I missed him. I miss how much fun we used to have before he was always caught up in his job. Don't get me wrong, I was so happy and proud that he was getting to live his dream but it made me upset that we weren't always together anymore.

I heard the front door open downstairs. Bunch of chatter and commotion. Then his voice... his voice. I missed him even more now and as much as I knew I wanted to go downstairs and see him, I stayed put on my bed, waiting for him to come to me.

"Y/N! Shawn's home!" Aaliyah called out.
I didn't say anything nor move a muscle. I felt like crying because I was being so distant. Then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Was it Shawn? A couple quiet knocks on my bedroom door and I knew.

"Y/N? You in there?" Indeed, it was Shawn. I still stayed quiet, then he opened the door. "Hey," he gave me that innocent smile without showing his teeth.

"Hi Shawn," I smiled back effortlessly.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, how've you been?"
"Been alright. I miss everyone so much though."
"I bet, they all miss you a lot more."

"They?" Slowly he started walking towards my bed, "You don't miss me?"

Let me stop being petty, I thought.
"Of course I do. Where would I be without my best friend?" I genuinely smiled this time and he smiled back.

"Can I get a hug?" He opened his arms and we hugged tightly for a while. "Missed you."

"I missed you too, Shawn."

"Let's go downstairs," we finally let go of each other, "everyone made food."

"And muffins too."
"MUFFINS!?" He started running downstairs and it made me laugh.

Shawn's back.

I was still somewhat distant while we all ate dinner but not as much as before. I guess Shawn noticed it though because after we got done eating, he pulled me aside.

"Y/N, are you okay? You seem... off."
"I'm fine. Always am." I noticeably faked a smile.

He inhaled and exhaled deeply, "Let's go for a drive." By the way he said it, I knew he wasn't asking, he was telling.

He grabbed his keys, "We'll be right back guys."

We were comfortably silent for the first few minutes, just listening to the radio. Of course, he broke the ice.

"So tell me what's been going on."
"What do you mean?"
"Like what've you been up to?"
"Just hanging. Little of this, little of that. The usual."
"Y/N.."
"Shawn," I mocked him.

"Open up, would ya?" he frustratingly insisted. "You're acting different and don't tell me otherwise."

I stayed quiet for a minute.
"Sorry.. guess I'm just a little upset about you being gone all the time. It gets lonely, ya know? Things aren't the way they used to be and it.. hurts kinda."

"Why didn't you tell me?"
"We barely talked while you were gone. I didn't wanna ruin your vibes or kill your mood because I knew you were having the time of your life, living your dream and all."
