Sam Fender Imagines

polar opposites

Low Lights Tavern. That's where Sam decided to take us all for his first Vevo YouTube video. We'd all been here before, it's actually where Sam and I had our first proper kiss (not including the one where we were both 12).

"I can't believe this is actually happening" Sam said, walking around the pub trying to find the perfect spot to set up the camera. I smiled in his direction, neither could I.

I couldn't hide it, I was slightly nervous as to what Sam would say about me on his video. No one really knew who I was and as much as Sam likes to joke about these things, I was worried. What if his fans didn't like me? What if they thought I wasn't good enough?

I walked over to him and sat in the booth as he slid me a glass of water. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna embarrass you. Maybe the lads a little bit but not you." He smiled, looking into my emerald eyes. I smiled back and took a sip of my water "let's crack on then". He pulled me close and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Right lads, this is how it'll work. I'll have each of you in turn sit in front of the camera whilst I say a little something about you. I'll save the best for last" he winked in my direction.

Dean was up first. He sat on the steps and waited for what Sam had to say about him.

"Dean is the lead guitarist, he is the famous lad with the hat." He took his hat off and ruffled his chocolate brown hair smiling. "He is essentially like the 2019 version of Slash from Guns n Roses."

Next, Tom took a seat in the booth with a fresh pint of cider in front of him. "Tom. We call him 'sex appeal' because he has a beautiful face, he plays the bass, he speaks French and he is an absolute diamond." Tom looked towards us all stood behind the camera and smiled.

"Drew is the nicest lad I think I've ever met in my entire life." Sam stated as Drew took a sip of his beer in front of the two acoustic guitars hung on the wall. "He just wants to be the best drummer he can possibly be."

Joe took his seat and crossed one leg over the other as Sam began to speak his thoughts on his bestfriend. "Joe is the atmosphere merchant. Complete mental genius and I absolutely adore him." He smiled at his best friend behind the lens, appreciative of the kind words.

"Johnny Blue Hat has been my hero since I was a kid and he is the best saxophone player in the North-East." Johnny played his saxophone the entire way through, reminding us of how he really is the best saxophone player in the North East.

Lastly, it was my turn. I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans as I took my place on the wall outside of the pub. Sam nodded as he began his speech.

"And finally her. She is the most amazing person I have ever met. The kindest, caring, compassionate person here." I looked at the floor blushing, never had Sam said such kinds words in front of his friends. "She can make everyone's day brighter by just walking into the room. I don't know how she sticks with me because we are complete polar opposites but I love her endlessly." I grinned back at him mouthing the words 'I love you too'.
