Julie and the Phantoms One Shots

Sleeves

Luke hated sleeves with a passion because sleeves hated him with a passion. It was a mutual hating.

He had ADHD, and sleeves drove him insane. He would feel them rubbing up against his arm and he felt like he could feel every stitch and spec on the fabric. His brain would go into sensory overload trying to process it, and it wasn't pretty. So Luke decided to wear sleeves as little as possible until he realized if the sleeves were big enough they didn't bother him and still kept him warm. He also learned certain materials didn't drive him crazy. Pants and hats didn't bother him, it was just his arms.

So, one night when the band was leaving from a gig and Julie was freezing, Luke thought nothing of passing his jacket off to her. Which was fine, because Julie relished in the warmth the jacked provided and the heat his own body had left in it for her, but most of all she loved that is smelled like Luke. She didn't have any intentions of giving the jacket back to her boyfriend until his smell faded from the fabric. 

The only issue was it was huge on Luke, which meant it was ginormous on Julie. So she could wear it around the house and the studio, but no where else and she couldn't do hardly anything while in it because she kept having the pull up the sleeves or adjust it on her shoulders as it began to fall.

"Jules, I don't think you can play piano in that." Luke said flashing in.

"I know, but now I have you so I don't need it." She said before shrugging it off and placing it on his couch finally giving into the jacket and returning it to him.

"Well, the real thing is always better then the remnants." He told her smoothly before giving her a quick kiss and grabbing his journal as they began to write a new song.

They worked on the song for a few hours, thought they goofed off a lot in that time too. 

Julie stood up with Luke as they got up hearing Ray call them to dinner. Finally after they became corporeal they were able to eat and be seen whenever they wanted leading to Ray being told about the guys. He just took them right in.

"You know that jacket really isn't practical for you." Luke told Julie looking at it laying on his couch. It was huge on him and just swallowed Julie right up; though he didn't mind seeing her in his clothes.

"I know, but it smells like you and I like being surrounded in your scent even if you aren't with me."

"How about this instead. I have a sweatshirt, and it's made of one of the few materials I can wear without going crazy with it being on for a while. It's one of my smaller ones, so it will just fit like a comfy sweatshirt on you. I will wash it and then wear it before passing it off to you, and when my smell fades just bring it back to me and we will repeat the process." He explained his idea to her, she went to nod before he continued, "but I get something in return."

"What?" She asked curious.

"One of your pillows. Same process. You use it pass it onto me, when your scent fades I bring it back and repeat. That way I can have your scent with me when I sleep."

Julie found the idea adorable, but she realized there was another counter offer she could supply.

"One alteration, when I give you one of my pillows, you give me yours. We just trade pillows therefore taking out the whole make it smell like you again part, but the sweatshirt is still in this deal."

"Deal."

The next day Luke wore the sweatshirt before giving it to Julie that night. As he handed her the sweatshirt he also gave her his pillow while she gave him hers. Reggie and Alex just gave them a strange look as they traded off and then separated each to go to sleep.

They continued this little trade off for a while as Reggie, Alex, and Ray got a good laugh watching every few days as they traded pillows or Julie would throw the sweatshirt at Luke. The next day Luke would be wearing the freshly washed sweatshirt before passing it onto her the next.

Ray was honestly happy they had found this rather than just sleeping in the same bed together, he trusted them, but really wasn't ready for them to be at that stage. He liked to think of his little girl as being his little girl. He knew eventually they would get there and he would have to deal with it, but he did have to admit their little trade off was adorable. He also had to admit though the times they had fallen asleep against each other song writing or watching a movie with everyone, they were adorable together.

Despite eventually just moving in together their little trade off never ended. Every few nights they would trade pillows, even if they always wound up laying against each other during the night whether it be spooning or just Julie laying against his chest. The sweatshirt even continued on, though the sweatshirt itself did change a few times their trade off never ended.

Short chapter but I hope yall enjoyed the double update! At this rate it may become a triple, but probably not. I'm thinking the next chapter will be about filling in the gaps between the band making up and Luke working to get Julie's engagement ring back on her finger. I know I had a few people really want to me to do that and I really want to do it, but it will take me a bit longer because the chapter itself will be longer, but I hope you guys liked this short and sweet one!! Please leave requests and tell me your thoughts!!
