you woke up when you heard someone moving around in your apartment. you rubbed your eyes. "what's going on?" you quietly spoke and removed the blanket from over you. you got up and walked out of your room. then, you walked into the living room and saw your roommate, lucas. he was packing his suitcase. "what are you doing, lucas?" you asked at a normal volume and yawned right after.

lucas looked up at you, "oh hey. sorry i didn't mean to wake you up." he apologized to you without answering your question. lucas continued folding clothes and placed them inside his suitcase.

"what are you doing?" you asked again and sat down on one of the seats near him.

"me and my band have an amazing opportunity. i have to leave now," lucas replied.

you nodded your head, "cool." you said and watched him pack up more clothes into his suitcase. "how long will you be gone for?" you asked as he walked back to his room for a second. he walked back in with his electric guitar in its case.

"ehhhh, not sure," he chuckled and zipped his suitcase closed. "i just listen to my manager. four, maybe five days tops," he laughed and sat down on the couch next to his suitcase and guitar. he looked at you and leaned towards you, "y/n, you should come with me. i'm sure you'd love it."

you laughed, "i'll stay here and stick with my classical music." you sat up, "but thank you."

"gotta get out of your comfort zone once in while," lucas commented and leaned back. "how about this y/n," he started, "if i get you a free ticket to our next show and if you don't like our music, i won't bother you again and i'll stop trying to drag you to any other event."

"what if i end up liking your music?" you asked.

he nervously smiled, "uhh, great question. i'll ask my manager though. maybe i can get more free stuff." he laughed. then, he looked at the time on his phone. "shit, i better get going," he said and stood up. lucas grabbed his belongings and headed out. "see ya when i get back," he said to you and you stood up.

"yea, see ya later," you nodded your head. lucas closed the door and you could hear him lock it. you sat back down and put your hands over your face.

ugh, i'd love to go with him, but i shouldn't.

you sighed and leaned your head back to look at the ceiling. then, you heard the door unlock and looked over in confusion. you put your hands down and watched as the door opened and lucas walked back into your shared apartment.

you looked at him in confusion, "um—"

"pack a bag," lucas instructed you. "you're coming with me," he walked over to you and pulled you up from the seat.

"hold up, what?" you questioned him.

lucas took your hand and dragged you to your room, "pack a bag to last for a few days. you're coming with me," he opened your closet door and grabbed your small suitcase.

"i'm not going with you," you crossed your arms.

"yes, you are," lucas said to you. he opened the suitcase and placed it on your bed.

"i'm not going with you, lucas."

he walked to you, "okay, what if i said that i want you to come with me?" he asked you.

you raised an eyebrow, "because?"

he looked away for a second, "because i want the person i like to see me perform?" he scratched the back of his head.

you felt the temperature of your body rise and looked down. the two of stayed silent for what seemed like eternity.

"hey, y/n, please don't kick me out for what i'm about to do. i need a place to stay after all," lucas requested and you looked back up at him.

"and what exact—" he grabbed you and pushed you up against the door to your room with his hands on the back of your head. at the same time, he had leaned in and kissed your lips.

once his lips left yours, he kept his face close to yours. "please, come with me," he softly spoke. your arms uncrossed and fell to your side. lucas moved his hands down and held your waist. his lips brushed against your before he kissed you again while you placed your hands in his hair.

"you're lucky that you're cute," you said and combed through his hair. "but i'm pretty sure you were supposed to take me on a date before kissing me," the two of you laughed together. "i'll pack my stuff."

"and i'll start up my car," he said and you smiled at each other.

and with that, you packed your things at lighting speed and prepared to travel with lucas. once the two of you put your bags in his car, lucas drove off towards the airport. he grabbed your hand and held it tightly.

lucas looked at you when you two reached a red light, "so, do i still have to pay rent?"

you reached over and kissed his cheek, "oh yea."
