✨joshua bassett and ricky bowen imagines and preference ✨

🎹 imagine: violet

You smiled at the camera as you turn off the power. The song that you have written kept on replaying on your head.

This was one of your hobbies, writing songs and uploading it on YouTube. You liked singing and creating your very own songs.

The smile on your disappeared when a familiar name appeared on the comment section of your video. It was from your long time crush, Ricky.

ricky_bowen: another song. Damn that was fast. BTW love your new song.

You felt your cheeks burn at his compliment. And a notif on you email appear, it was from Ricky.

ricky_bowen: hey, you're probably weirded because I just emailed you but... I couldn't help but to ask you would like meet up or somethin...

Without replying you shut down your laptop. Don't know what or how to respond.  Then, each day he emails you like everyday pursuing you to meet up with him.

Not a chance, boy.

🎹🎹🎹

"How come you won't try the show?" your best friend Ashlyn asks as the two of you walk on your class. She and your family only new that you could sing that so good.

"You know how uncomfortable when I'm singing in front of people."

"But youre uploading your songs to YouTube wherein there's like a lot of people." that is one exception because you wore a hood and a violet long wig to cover your identity.

"And Violet is like famous you know." you couldn't help but to agree with Ashlyn. Your like stage name is Violet. And some of your song is like known because of its deep and impactful lyrics.

"Ricky just asked me out." you blurted making Ashlyn shocked and get all excited because your long time crush was hitting on you which was surprising.

"What did he say?" you told everything to her as you headed at your locker room. At you peripheral view you saw Ricky laughing hard with his best friend Big Red. Wishing he could notice you the way he noticed Violet.

🎹🎹🎹

You waited for your best friend at the corridor but then as you walk down you noticed that the music room was empty. There was no student just all musical instruments laying there. Which made you grin happily.

I can't control my feelings
I can't control my thoughts

Your fingertips touches the cold piano and sang solemnly. It was hard though, falling for a guy whose doesn't notice you after all, you thought.

I'm staring at the ceiling
Wondering how I got so caught
You're completely off limits
For more reasons than just one

Then there's Nini. Ricky and Nini just happily dating and all. Which made a lot worse because at that time you were all driven to ask him out but as if the world was not allowing you to do it.

But I can't stop

🎹🎹🎹

It was almost Christmas break and you were all hyped up on uploading new videos. Because you've got a bunch of songs that you want to share with your subscribers.

You quickly put all of your things in your bag since the school bell just rang.  Then a miracle just happened. Ricky approached you.

"Hi, Uhm... Y/N right?" his friendly voice caught you off track almost making you let go of your camera.

"Oh my--" luckily, he catches it.

"Cool camera." unprepared to what to say you just nodded at him and was about to walk away when he caught a grab of your hand.

"Wait! Sorry if I startled you..."he quickly let go of your hand and scratches the back of his neck.

"I-It's okay..." the boy in front of you shyly smiled at you.

"I was wondering if you want to go out?"

"I'm sorry?" Ricky repeats.

"Do you want to go out sometime, Y/N?" you didn't expect him to ask you out, just out of the blue.

"Why would you..." then your guts were telling you something and you've decided what's the best and safest answer.

"I'm sorry. But no." Ricky was about to press and ask why but you cut him off by a simple statement.

"It's a prank isn't it, Bowen? Well you almost got me there because I won't go out on a guy whom I just met."

🎹🎹🎹

Sighing and staring at the floor wasn't one of your plans on spending your break. You turn to your laptop but then shook the thought away. Ricky's email kept bothering you all day. The worse thing is that he might know something about you being Violet.

Then a tap sound made you yelp in surprise. It was from your long time crush. You were about to send him off home but he was already on your terrace.

He won't let this go, won't he?

🎹🎹🎹

"What are you doing here, Ricky?" he waved a hand as he catches his breath.

"I--I told you I won't stop..."

"What do you mean?" you frowned and was  about to shoo him away. You saw him all sweaty and throw a towel on him

"My offer on asking you out is still standing, Violet."

"Who's Violet?" Ricky chuckled and was about to explain when you heard your parents knocking the door. You hid Ricky in one of your closet because if your parents saw there's a guy in your room you're probably dead meat.

"Hey, I will come down in just a minute." You yelled and made sure that your parents are not in front of your room and locked the door.

Then you turn to the boy, Ricky standing there holding the violet wig on his other hand. Then it pushed you to the limits.

"You're Violet?" you sighed and nodded in surrender.

" If I'd admit that I'm her, would you stop this?" you sat on the edge of your bed. Ricky was standing in front of you, his arms crossed.

"I was just--"

"No, Ricky. Could you stop this nonsense?" he was taken aback by your outburst.

"You're asking me out now? Seriously?"

"What's wrong on asking you out?" he snapped at you as he tried to understand you.

"You're dating Nini--"

"We're not dating. We are just friends and--"

"Let's say that you two are not dating. Would you still notice me if I'm not Violet?" that question left like a burden into your chest all day. And it was not nice feeling on saying it on Ricky. There was a sudden realization on his expression but quickly changes.

" Ricky, just go please. " you pleaded and open the door. Ricky waited for you to change your mind and answer the opposite but you stood there holding the door in front of him.

Ricky was hesitant to go but you just closed your eyes and look away.

"Y/N, you have no idea how you caught my attention when I first saw you. You smiling brightly and staring passionately at someone or something." not wanting to hear any more of your long time crush's explanation you looked down and say.

"Okay..."
