requested by Silvermoon1988

desc: you're a UK singer who's had a crush on fellow singer yungblud for a long time. you end up writing a song about him though you won't tell him anyone it's about him. but at a karaoke night you perform it, dom finally realising and gets a little emotional

tw for domestic abuse/violence mentions

f/n = your best mate's name

"Y/N! CAR! NOW!" f/n called. "COMING!!" you giggled, throwing an eyeshadow brush down onto your table. you ran downstairs and into the car. you piled into the back where f/n was busy blasting music.

it was their 21st birthday today and they naturally wanted to go out to party. and you, being their best friend, you were dragged along too. "so where are we going, what's happening and who's going?" you asked.

"we're going marios," they began. marios was a local nightclub/karaoke bar which you two went a lot so it made sense. "and we're clubbing with a bit of karaoke in-between, then with who's coming, meghan, callie, colson, adam, tom and your husband dom" they added.

you almost dropped your phone at the dom bit. "HE'S NOT MY HUS-!" you began before seeing no point in finishing your sentence. "yeah but you wanna neck on with him" they said calmly, looking out the window to see how far away you were.

"well obviously, i think my texts make that clear enough to you" you said, adjusting your hair in the car rear view mirror. "well yeah, the amount of his stories you've sent to me are RIDICULOUS!" they laughed.

"shut up" you said, blushing. "ok but you know i'm right" they laughed. "oh we're almost there!" they said, noticing a familiar restaurant pass you two by in the car. "yep" you laughed. you both arrived and got out of the car.

you walked in together and f/n was quickly swarmed with gifts by meghan and callie. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH!!" callie said, handing f/n 3 bags of gifts. "aww thank you" they smiled, wrapping callie in a warm hug.

"happy birthday mate!" colson smiled. "thanks kels" f/n returned, using his nickname for him. "where's dom?" you asked, f/n giving you a smirk. "he's late, and he's got adam and tom with him so god knows when they'll show up" colson said.

you were ok with this and you were handed a drink by meghan. you all clubbed like f/n had told you so for around 45 minutes or so when dom, adam and tom all finally arrived. "i'm so sorry we're late, there was a traffic accident" dom said breathily.

"mate it's fine" f/n said, placing their hand on his shoulder. "cheers" dom said, wiping sweat off his forehead. "hey y/n" dom said. you felt your stomach swarm with butterflies. "meghan, callie" he said. you felt your heart jolt.

he said hi to you first. was that small and probably petty? yes. did that stop you? absolutely not. you all finally could properly enjoy f/n's birthday again. after another hour with meghan necking on with colson, karaoke kicked in.

it first started off with dom half drunk singing nirvana, which was a fucking treat to put it lightly. then f/n let something slip which would turn the whole night sideways. "yeah y/n, you're working on a new song aren't you?" f/n said.

you could've smashed the glass in your hand from the sheer grip you were keeping on the glass. adam, callie and tom had gone home so it was just colson, meghan, dom and f/n. "really?" colson asked. you nodded.

"yep" you muttered through gritted teeth. "well let's hear it" meghan suggested. "yeah man!" colson said, picking up a guitar from off the wall. "go on!" f/n smirked, knowing why you didn't want to perform. 

you'd written a new song called "love song" *yes it's the lyrics of the dom's song*. it was about you catching feelings for dom and him teaching you what love was meant to mean. you'd grown up in a bad situation.

your dad was physically abusive towards your mum and so many fights, arguments and disagreements which neither could remember why they'd began. it hadn't been like that for years, since you'd moved out.

and as far as you knew, your mum had kicked out your dad but you hadn't seen him or heard from him since you'd moved. but even though dom wasn't yours and never had been, loving him had taught you something.

it taught you how to love, how love was meant to work. dom was the first person in your life who showed you romantic attraction didn't equate to fights, violence and abuse. and that was the most valuable lesson of all.

you shakily picked up the guitar and in front of that same man, you performed the song. "nobody taught me how to love myself so how, can i love somebody else?"  you sung shakily.

you closed your eyes, you couldn't face dom, or anyone else in that room to be perfectly honest. "yeah it's so fascinating, you patch up the blood and the cuts, but our blood got mixed up, so i guess we belong to each other" 

you finally got to the final repeating lyric "i won't let you down". you finished and set the guitar down. you opened your eyes and whether it was from the sheer tightness you were keeping them closed, embarrassment or general sadness, it didn't change anything.

tears were welling in your eyes. you rubbed them away with the back of your sleeve. "wow, that was beautiful" colson muttered. you nodded. "y/n, can i talk to you?" dom asked. you nodded in obedience, getting up.

he walked to a spare room in the nightclub, you not far behind. when you walked into the room, he shut the door. he sat down on a desk in the room. "can i ask you something?" he asked. you nodded, feeling your stomach swimming.

"was that song about me?" he asked. your heart jolted. "umm," you muttered, tripping over your words. you knew there was no point in lying. he probably knew, he was probably just trying to see if you'd tell him.

"yeah" you muttered, looking down at the floor. you felt a hand wrap around your cheek softly, facing up at him. his eyes were soft like a small puppy's. "how? how could you write something so good about me?" he asked.

you pouted softly, pulling him down gently to your eye level. "you taught me love dom, you know about how my home was, you finally showed me what love is, and that's worth so much dom" you said, a lump building in your throat.

you closed your eyes in almost defeat when you felt dom's hands around your waist, you let him hold you. you opened your eyes as he rested his nose against yours, your face inches away from his. 

"can i kiss you?" he asked. dumbfounded, you could only nod. he leant in and kissed you gently. you felt the lump in your throat disappear and butterflies and knots that seemed to be living in your stomach disappeared.

you cupped your hand to his cheek as he whispered between a kiss. "god, i should've done this sooner". 

"damn right you should've"
