best new artist *vma spoiler

**i'm not exactly sure how the award shows actually work, so we'll just pretend it works like this lmao

you sit in front of the television of the apartment you shared with your boyfriend, dominic. your family watched with you, observing performances from the pre show and the award show. shortly after seeing colson win best alternative, you gave him a quick call to congratulate him.

"ah, shit y/n," he said rather loudly.

"colson, my family is here. is dom available yet?"

"ah yeah he actually just rang in, i'm gonna , merge it."

you smile, eager to hear his voice.

"fookin hell dude, congrats on the win!" just as english as ever; you decide to join in,

"babe, i miss you! good luck tonight!"

"oh my god, love, i miss you too and thank you, i can't wait to get back home," he's getting ready to say something rather intimate when your parents alert him, "hi dominic! you've got this award tonight, honey," your mother tells him, "and save the sweet talk for when we're gone, son," your dad adds.

you could hear how flustered he was on the phone, "oh my...mr and miss y/l/n i am so sorry."

"okay babe well i'll let you go, but text me when you can," you tell him, not wanting him to miss anything.

the award show goes on and it was great for the most part. you were upset about some of the turnouts. some artists nominated deserved more than what they were credited for. you texted dom, admitting that your anger.

babe, calm down. as long as they have your love, they've won.

you text back, you act like they know who i am

ash knows who you are and she loves you almost as much as you love her

you giggle and roll your eyes a bit, that's different, she and i are like best friends.

he sends back a laughing emoji and a black heart before you hear colson being called to the stage. you look up surprised but also you realized what time it was "oh my fucking god," was the first thing to come out of your mouth.

"and the 2020 best new artist," you squeeze hands with your family as they all rooted for dominic.

"is...."

"please be dom please please please..."

"Doja Cat." Colson smiles briefly but before skimming to Doja, the upsetting look is very noticeable on his face.

a tear slides down your cheek. you were happy for her but you really felt like dom would get recognition he deserved.

you feel your phone buzz; dom's calling and of course you answered. before you could even say hello, you hear, "no need to cry love," he didn't even sound upset, actually he sounded ecstatic, "who needs an award when you went from acting on disney to playing small gigs to being one of the top three votes for best new artist!"

you let out a laugh as his happiness spreads through the phone, "i'm happy for you baby," you tell him.

"i'm fookin flying in tonight and me, you, and our families are going to celebrate!"

moments like this were why you loved him. even if things never went how either of you would hope, he always finds a way to make it better. you almost thought it was silly bc he was being funny to console you more than anyone and it's not even your loss to take.

"i can't wait to see you."

"i love you so much, y/n, i'll see you in the morning."

"love you more." he always knew how to leave you with a smile.

Sorry this was a short one, I spent most of Sunday evening bawling my eyes out , but being in the top three votes for best new artist was insane guys! and that's not the end because there's so much more!

we've gotten louder since it all began, now let's see how loud we can really be 🖤
