It had taken roughly 13 hours to film this video over the span of two days. We took our time getting different shots and angles from inside the garage and getting the perfect mixing done on the song. We were so excited to get this video out there for the Fantoms to see, but to do that it required editing. A lot of editing.

So here I am, at my desk, editing for the past 6-8 hours trying to wrap this up today so it can post on schedule tomorrow. I sighed as I rubbed my face, this was taking a lot longer than normal due to the fact I wanted to add some special effects and jump cuts to make the video flow easier. I'm getting so sick of hearing the same section of audio over and over as I try to get it just right.

"(Y/n)?" I heard Luke yell from the hallway.

I slid one side of my headphones back, "In here Luke."

He walked in with a big smile on his face that I couldn't help but return.

He walked over and pulled me into a hug, which was kinda weird cause I was still sitting down in a chair but not like I'm gonna complain.

I noticed he had brought a big bag of food with him from a local restaurant.

"I figured you hadn't eaten dinner yet. Have you taken a break?" He asked.

"No," I sighed, "but I really need to finish this."

"You need to eat," he said. Unpacking the food and sitting it beside me with a fork and spoon.

"That smells so good," I said, digging in, "thank you."

"Did you eat anything?"

I paused trying to think, "I ate some cereal this morning but where I've been sitting I haven't really gotten hungry."

He sighed, "You need to remember to eat."

"I know... I'll eat this while I'm working on the rest of the video."

He groaned and flopped down on my bed.

"It'll only be a little bit," I said. I turned back around and started the video again from the beginning.

I know he wasn't meaning to annoy me. I had been at it for a long time and I had promised we would be out today, but there was just too much I needed to do before tomorrow.

"(Y/nnnnnn)," he groaned from my bed.

"Yeah?"

"Please come cuddle."

I sighed, "Luke I really can't right now."

"Yes you can you just don't want to."

I turned around in my chair to face him, "Baby I need to finish this."

He flips around so he's lying on his stomach facing me, "Please?"

"Give me 10 minutes and I'll try to finish up."

He cheers and goes back to laying on the bed watching me.

Eventually ten minutes go by. The only reason I know this is because Luke walks up behind me and throws his arms around me.

"Babyyyyyyy," he says, he placed a gentle kiss on my neck that I couldn't help but giggle at.

"A few more minutes."

He sighs, "You said that 10 minutes ago."

"No," I giggle, "I said give me 10 minutes 10 minutes ago."

He rolls his eyes. My chair is quickly turned around and I'm being lifted up out of my chair before I could even protest.

"Don't even try," he said, "You promised me we would hang out and you haven't even taken a break today. Give me an hour or two and when I'm gone you can go back to editing, okay?"

I sigh as he places me gently on the bed, crawling to lay on top of me, "Okayyyyyy."

He laughs before reaching up to give me a kiss which I happily return.

"You're doing so great on the video baby, don't stress about it the fans are gonna love it," he says.

I smile, "Thanks baby."

I play with his hair as I slowly feel myself getting more tired by the minute.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must've fallen asleep. When I finally woke up I saw the sun had already set and my boyfriend had flipped us so I was lying on his chest with his arms wrapped around my waist. Snores fell from his mouth as he nuzzled his face closer to my neck.

"Luke?" I said.

"Hey baby, did you sleep okay?"

"Yeah, I really needed that," I smiled.

He kissed my hand, "Well I'm glad I could help with that."

I looked over at the clock, "What time did I fall asleep?"

"Around 6:30 ish, why?"

"It's already 8:46..." I said.

He pulled his head up to kiss my cheek, "Do you wanna get back to work?"

I thought for a moment, "I guess I can finish the rest of the editing tomorrow morning..."

He smiled.

"Stay?" I asked.

"Always."
