- - 🎊 - - Chapter summary; Hayley & the reader meet each other for the first time, at a high school dance during the 1950s. ♥ Requested by @thebabeisback via private message ♥ • - 'Don't tell me we waited in that huge line for you not to eat any of your food?' Eddie complained, as he practically shovelled his own food down his throat. - you sat next to him at a circular table filled with other couples, a few of them acquaintances from yours and eddie's shared classes. - you proceeded to shush him quickly, before returning your attention to the girl being spun around on the dance floor. - you couldn't take your eyes off of her. - all you wanted to do was talk to her, to get close enough to take in every little aspect of her features. - to discover her smell and hear her voice. - you were almost melting at the thought of it all. - you watched inquisitively as she giggled, seemingly enjoying her time alongside bobby. - but, her eyes never stayed on him for long. - and neither did his, the pair of them continued to peer around the room. - like they were being watched by all the onlookers. - that's when she detected your long lasting gaze. - when her eyes finally landed on you, just as the band finished their current song. - bobby was quick to whisk her off the dance floor and when he did, she gave you a small smile. - which you immediately returned, a joyful smile taking over your face. - you thought your heart was coming out your chest. - 'Eddie, did you see that?!' You could've almost squealed, as you completely startled your best friend. - 'Yes, Y/N I saw. And, I'm not about to sit here watching you swoon all night.' He laughed, moving close enough to whisper in your ear. - 'Go talk to her.' He continued, wiggling his eyebrows at you. - 'I can't do that!' You responded abruptly. 'Can I? I can't.. can I?' - you practically tripped over your words, burying your head in your hands. - 'Look,' Eddie began, encouraging you to look up. 'Bobby's just left for the buffet table.' - 'So, I'll distract him with my wonderfully charming self...' - 'No! Eddie don't you dare leave m-' You begged, attempting to grab hold of his arm. - '...while you introduce yourself to Hayley!' He interrupted, winking at you as she backed away ready to charm his crush bobby rodgers. • - I'm gonna walk up to her, I'm gonna talk to her. I'm gonna walk up to her and I'm gonna talk to her tonight. - you repeated to yourself like some kind of gospel. - just enough to get yourself up onto your feet and walking towards her, without any doubt or hesitation in your stride. - 'Is this seat taken?' You asked politely, bearing a genuine smile as you managed to mask your raging nerves. - the table where hayley sat wasn't crowded, it was further towards the back of the room. - it was quieter, the music and dulcet tones of chatter soon becoming background noise. - 'No-no, it isn't. You can sit.' Hayley responded almost immediately, appearing a little flustered by your sudden presence. - you watched closely, as she tucked a loose hair behind her ear swiftly. - fidgeting in her seat (out of nervousness you suspected) before looking up at you, with a kind smile as you sat down. - 'I like your dress.. it's-it's very beautiful.' She complimented shyly, continuing to pick up then avoid eye contact. - 'And yours.' You answered softly, before reaching out your hand to introduce yourself. - 'I'm Y/N.' - 'Hayley.' She confirmed, shaking your hand gently; as she let a small giggle slip out. - you mimicked her action, laughing a little too. - 'That's an interesting name.' You commented, regrettably letting go of her hand. - you would've liked to hold it for longer. - 'It's true, it isn't particularly popular.' She replied, looking down at her hands before turning her gaze to you. - 'But, I like it.' She grinned, widely. - her smile was absolutely gorgeous, a symbol of pure happiness. - 'Me too.' You agreed, your anxiousness surrounding the situation beginning to slip away with every moment you spoke to hayley. - 'I'm glad.' She said warmly, playing with her fingers in her lap. - 'I saw you dancing with Bobby Rodgers, are you two-' You were about to ask, before hayley calmly but purposely stopped you. - briefly brushing her hand over the top of your own. - 'Our parents are close.' She began to explain, allowing you to understand the situation more. 'Bobby invited me to the dance, as a friend, a kind gesture as I haven't been at the school very long.' - you nodded along in response, adding up the puzzle pieces in your head; releasing that eddie might just be right. - but, you could never tell him. - he'd gloat too much. - 'I accepted, of course. He didn't want me to miss out. I think he's sweet and all, but personally not my type.' She finished, simply laying her cards out on the table. - 'And, you?' She questioned, shuffling closer in a curious manner; still bearing that contagious smile. - 'I'm also here with a friend, my best friend actually. His name is Eddie.' You tell her and she immediately nods in acknowledgement, knowing exactly who he is. - 'Bobby talks about Eddie a lot, he likes him. He finds him-' Hayley cut herself off, her eyes darting to the band who occupied the large gym stage. - 'This song is my favourite.' She beamed, looking at you quickly as joy radiated from her delicate features. - 'We Belong Together, Ritchie Valens.' You stated, hayley's expression lighting up even more when you recognised the song. - 'You know it?!' She enthused, grasping onto your hand in genuine excitement. - 'I love it.' You grinned, glancing over at your hands that were now tightly intertwined together. - this time you weren't letting her go so easily. - 'I'd give anything to be on that stage.' She confessed all of a sudden, exhaling deeply in longing. - as she witnessed the entire band having the time of their lives, all she'd ever wanted. - 'That's your dream, to be a musician?' You asked her softly, and she simply nodded. - 'I believe in you, Hayley.' You encouraged her, letting her slip out a quick 'thank you' before you continued to speak. - 'I have a dream too.' You began, hayley raising her eyebrows; as she inched forward with intrigue. - 'One that you could... help me with, maybe- if you wanted to.' - 'What is it?' She questioned, squeezing your hand gently to prompt you. - 'Hayley, will you have this dance with me?' You somehow found the bravery to ask, standing up from your seat; tugging her hand in anticipation that she'd say yes. - 'Y/N, I'm not sure we ca-can we do that?' She seconded guessed herself, looking deeply into your eyes. - you could tell she wanted to, she was dying to say yes but she was holding back. - 'Just you and me, in our own little world.' You imagined, your inner thoughts finally breaking free. - 'Where you're a famous musician and I'm your biggest fan.' You continued, indulging as hayley gleamed bashfully; springing up from her seat. - giving you permission to pull her onto the dance floor by both of her hands. - the two of you blended into the crowd, as you began to dance - swaying effortlessly to the music. - she has so much soul, so much rhythm. - you could feel it, buzzing beneath her skin. - 'I don't see why not.' Hayley breathed, her arms draped over your shoulders as yours gripped lightly at her waist. - people were beginning to cotton on around you, some staring and some sniggering. - two girls together in the middle of the dance floor?! - but you couldn't care less, all you saw was her, all you needed was hayley. - she rested her head on your shoulder, accepting willingly as you pulled her in closer. - 'I'm so glad I met you tonight, Hayley.' You admitted, resting your chin atop of her head almost subconsciously. - inhaling the sweet scent of her hair. - 'Touché.' Hayley giggled, peering up into your eyes. 'I wouldn't mind spending all of my time with you.' - 'Me either.' You agreed, letting hayley slip back into her previous position easily. - you couldn't believe the situation you'd found yourself in. - it felt far too good to be true, but this was real and you'd never felt so lucky. - you listened to hayley sing along to the lyrics, ever so subtly into your ear. - 'You're mine, and we belong together. Yes, we belong together. For eternity. Eternity.' - and you believed her, you believe every single word she said. - seconds later you found yourself moving her hair aside to press a small kiss to her temple. - it felt so natural to you, like you'd known her your whole life. - the girl in your arms relaxing into your touch even further. • - that's when he appeared out of nowhere, your best friend eddie was making his way into the dance floor. - followed by the boy he'd longed for more then anyone else in town; bobby rodgers. - his confidence was powerful, he was so fulfilled, so proud. - the pair of you shared a moment, your eyes connecting as you both held your lovers in your arms for the first time. - you never thought this could be possible, you were convinced eddie just spouted nonsense. - unrealistic expectations and unreachable dreams. - 'We did it!' He mouthed ecstatically, over bobby's shoulder as he toyed with the boy's black hair. - but he was right, all along. these dreams weren't just talk, they were reality. - and you weren't about to let that go without fight, you were going to cherish every single moment. - hayley wasn't just somebody's baby, she was your baby.
