Declan mcKenna- [ stories. ]

-what do you think about the boy?-

Today is the day. Yes, the day. The. Day. The day you finally get the see that cute boy, practically stranger from that one coffee place. Honestly, you were very very excited, but nervous to see how it will go.

His name is Declan. You instantly spotted him, as his music was blasting through his earphones aside of you. His eyes dug into yours, as he smirked and kept on reading his book. You were intrigued, but didn't know if he was going to take his earphones out. As you concentrated back to your work, out of the corner of your eyes you saw the brunette boy shift up from his seat beside you, and as he went by you, he slipped a little yellow sticky note on the table next to your drink. You turned your head around to follow his body out of the coffee place, not once did he even slightly turn to look back at you. Once he was out of sight, you took the little yellow sticky note he left aside of your drink and you opened it, as it was folded in half. It read:

{ my name's declan mckenna, call/text me sometime. (###)###-#### }

Quite a bold move to give a complete stranger your full name and phone number but... oh well. You were grateful of so, otherwise you probably wouldn't have had the courage to ask for his number yourself. That is how you are in this situation now. As you texted him, and talked for sometime, finally you later on arranged a day to go out.

You dressed casual, as you didn't know how he interpreted this "date". You wore (your favorite outfit), and you felt ready to go. You texted him and asked if he was ready, and he answered almost immediately with a simple "Yes". You took your keys, got in your car, and drove off to the outdoor cinema, where you will be watching (your favorite movie), which happened to also be Declan's favorite movie as well. You park and get out your car. You go to the trunk, which you previously stuffed with a bag full of blankets, pillow, etc, to be able to lay down and enjoy the movie, even perhaps sleep, because that definitely didn't seem like a bad idea at all. As you got the bag out, you took your phone and decided to call him. As you hear it dialing, you shut the trunk. He picks up. "..." brief silence, before you hear his booming voice, "Hello? Y/N?" You weren't expecting the reaction you had, but without even really knowing the dude, you felt butterflies in your stomach. Stop being stupid you think, as your stomach begins to make flips and turns. You feel your cheeks blush, even if he wasn't there. "Uh, yeah, hey. Where are you..?" It feels like you sounded stupid, and you shut your eyes as you feel embarrassed. "I'm already here, where are you? As in here I mean at the cinema, haha." Just hearing his voice makes you want to see him already, embrace him in a hug.
"Yeah I'm already here too. I think it's going to be hard to find you.."
"I thought the same thing. Maybe we should stop talking and just look for each other? This should be fun."
You smiled. "Yeah... this should be fun."
You hang up and begin to look around. Even though it wasn't too packed, it felt like you saw a million people except the one you were looking for. You started to walk towards all the people, looking around, looking for Declan. Why didn't we just... decide to meet up somewhere specific? You thought, but were too distracted looking for him that the thought flew in your mind and out as quick as lightning. You kept searching, with no luck. What if he didn't really come, you thought, and started to panic. It started to feel like you were spinning, drowning in a sea of unknown people. Music and small chatter everywhere started to indulge your ears, and your head was starting to throb. Maybe I should go and this was a bad idea, you think, and as you're about to turn back around, you accidentally bump into something, someone, and you take a few steps back. You turn to apologize, but no words come out as you hear the same voice that was on the phone previously with you.
"Found you."
You turn around to see the same boy from the coffee place, same messy brown hair, the same dimples, he was wearing... (he looked like that👇🏼).

You instantly smiled, felt your cheeks become rosy again, and the butterflies returned. Whatever you were feeling before was all gone, and instead was replaced with relief of finally seeing him. You stare at each other for far too long before you notice it was starting to get creepy, so you talk... or so try to.
"Hey, Declan."
"Hey, Y/N... you look pretty uhh... incredible."
"Well, you don't look too bad yourself."
~"Haha..."~
Why am I like this.. you think.
The once orange-yellow sky was slowly melting into the dark blue night sky. There were many lightbulbs around, giving off a very homey, warm looking feeling, perfectly describing how you were feeling at that moment. The sky was now a deep purple mixed with a dark blue, sprinkled with bright lights. There was relaxing indie music in the background, while people waited for the movie to begin. You hadn't said much, but you felt a spark as Declan took your hand in his and guided you through all the people around you. Everything seemed like a dream, like you weren't there. Everything was perfect.
Declan takes you to a small shed aside of the parking lot, and weirdly, even though it's a bit far away, there is a perfect view of where the movie will be showcasing. Like over there, there are lightbulbs, but blue ones. They are casting a blueish-purpleish light, making everything seem more majestic and dream-like.
Fascinated, you look around. "Amazing, how'd you know about this place here?" There is no response, which causes you to look towards Declan. He's just there, staring at you in the most endearing way. The lights showing a wholly different side of him, the blue and purple light emitting shadows that enhance his hair, the way the tips of his fringe wisp on top of his eyes, and his eyes, piercing through your eyes, his lips, nose, everything.
He's ethereal.
Whatever this leads to, you are glad it's with him.
