Backstage of a random venue in Alex's dressing room, John walks in confused to seeing a random pretty girl spread across the couch.

Y/n looks up expecting Alex but sees a guy she's never seen before. She gives him a polite smile and he returns it.

She watches his actions seeing as he's not overly excited she assumes he's one of Alex's friends and wasn't some crazy fan that snuck in.

Why does Alex have so many good looking friends? She thinks to herself.

He plops down on the opposite end of the couch and goes on his phone. Scrolling back and forth on his lock screen to appear busy.

That's when she noticed the rings on his hands, the colored nails, and the boots.

"You're John, right?" She speaks up.

He looks at her confused and nods, not expecting his name to come out her mouth.

"I thought you were blonde. I'm Y/n, Alex's friend" She stuck out her hand.

"Oh that makes so much sense," he says placing his hand in hers to shake "I've heard a lot about you."

He finally gets a good look at her. She's not what she pictured from all the times Alex spoke about her. But he chooses to keep that to himself.

"Probably none good," she says removing her hand placing it on her lap, he lets out a light chuckle. "Alex's has told me about you too. He always said he wanted us to meet."

"Yeah he told me the same." John says thinking about how many times their friend has mentioned her name around him.

They both turn their heads at the sound of the door opening, "Speak of the devil."

"Hey! I didn't know you guys were already here" Alex smiles.

John stands to give his friend a hug while Y/n stays sitting watching their interaction.

Alex then tackles her in a hug laying on her, she returns the hug happily. He removes himself from her and sits up moving to the end of the couch.

"So I'd hope you guys have introduced yourselves" He motions towards the two in front of him.

"Yeah, why have we never met before?" Y/n turns towards Alex.

"I don't know, I tried a lot of times but every time one of you guys confirmed a show the other backed out" Alex responds trying to hide his excitement. This is a moment he's planned out forever.

"Why did you want us to meet so bad?" John asks leaning against a desk.

Before Alex gets a chance to respond the door opens again revealing the guy they call "Jungle Bobby." The girl gasp and jumps up at the sight of him, running into his arms.

John gets a pang of jealousy, but he didn't know why. He'd only just met her.

"You didn't do that when you saw me" Alex fake pouts.

"Bro cause I'm her favorite." Julian smiles almost squeezing the life out her.

"I never get to see my Julian" she says running her hands through his hair, "And I saw you just yesterday."

"I'm hurt" Alex says placing a hand over his heart. John silently agrees with him.

Julian sets the girl down, "They're letting people in and we need to go over any last minute things."

"I'll see you guys after the show. I reserved a spot for you guys." Alex says saying bye to John. Then heads over to Y/n.

"Have fun tonight," she smiles at him. Then do their handshake. Julian rolls his eyes while John watches lowkey impressed. "Get out there" she says once they finish.

The two boys leave, leaving Y/n and John alone in the room again.

"So how did you meet Alex?" John asks breaking the silence.

Y/n thinks for second forgetting Alex wasn't always apart of her life, "Um, my ex and him were really good friends but then he screwed us both over and now I basically took his spot, I'm just better" She smiles proudly.

"I could tell" He smirks a little. She raises her eyebrows at him slightly, not expecting that response.

"What about you?" She asks him in return.

"I found his music a while back and used it in one of my videos, he hit me up and we became friends" John smiled.

"Oh that's right, Alex mentioned you being a YouTuber. That's so cool." She gives him a smile that makes him feel tingly. All he could do was shrug.

"We should probably head out there now," Y/n says. She checks her appearance in the mirror one last time then turns to John. He gives her a thumbs up making her giggle, "Come on."

They both head out of the dressing room. The girl takes the boys hand in hers and starts jogging lightly through the venue she quickly became familiar with.

John can't help but smile running through the almost empty hallways with her.

They get stopped by a security guard who was told who they were and waited to take them to their reserved spot.

Y/n almost instantly strikes up a quick conversation with him. Her being able to talk with anyone becomes his favorite thing about her.

John looks down at their hands loosely in twined and instantly blushes.

"Right this way," the security says leading them towards some stairs. They thank him and both head up the stairs together.

At the top of the stairs was a balcony that overviewed the stage, if you peeked around the corner enough you could see the crowd.

Y/n sees a few people she knows and reluctantly lets go of Johns hand to greet them. Leaving him to stand on his own as he didn't recognize anyone.

He trudged over to the balcony and takes a peak at the quite large crowd. He felt proud of his friend and was happy that he was able to watch him grow into the musician he was.

Y/n walks over to John who was lost in thought leaning against the rail, "Our friend is so cool." She smiles a bit breaking him out of his trance. "Don't tell him I said that."

He laughs a little, "Yeah I had never been to anything like this before I met him."

Before Y/n gets a chance to respond, two boys run across the stage and intro the show. Everyone starts cheering loudly.

They do what they do best and mess with the crowd and get them hyped up for the real show that was about to begin.

Before they know it Alex is out on stage performing, everyone is singing and dancing along to his songs. Getting more and more hype after each song.

In the middle of dancing, Y/n looks over at John and grabs his hand as a way to get him to dance more.

He looks surprised at her action but laughs lightly at her to avoid the blush creeping up on his face.

He leans towards her ear to speak over the loud music, "I don't dance!"

"I could tell!" She smiles looking at him then begins dancing a bit again. His hand still in hers, she moves it around in rhythm to the music, bumping his hip with hers a few times.

John gives in and starts to let loose, letting the music consume him and attempts to dance with her.

She smiles at him and they both continue to enjoy the rest of the show.

A whole lot of singing and jumping around later, the show sadly comes to an end.

Alex begins thanking his fans and all his people backstage and on stage with him. At one point even calling out John's YouTube name.

John leans over the balcony and gives a wave to the crowd who in return yell excitedly at his appearance.

"That was so cute" Y/n gawks over the audiences reaction to seeing John.

Walking back to his dressing room, Y/n clears her throat a bit, "Thank you for dancing with me" Her voice a little rough from the yelling.

"No problem, I couldn't let you look stupid on your own" He teases smiling down at her.

"Shut up" she laughs pushing him a bit.

He laughs with her opening the door for her. She shakes her head and steps inside.

She plops down back on the couch and lays her head back, "I love Alex but his shows make me so tired."

"So tired that you wanna go home?" He asks hoping she'd get the reference. She looks at him then let's out the laugh she was holding in making him laugh also.

A sweaty Alex then walks in the room with a smile on his face.

"Great show tonight" Y/n speaks first.

"Aw thanks. Tired?" She nods. He grabs one of his BBNO$ hoodies out from a rack of clothes and hands it to her.

She happily takes it from him and goes to the bathroom to get out of her now uncomfortable top.

As soon as the door closes behind her John speaks up, "Okay why'd you actually want us to meet?"

Alex smirks, "Why not?" John raises an eyebrow at him. "You guys clicked didn't you?" Alex's smile grows. John turns away from him, feeling his face get hot, making Alex laugh and jump excitedly like a four year old, "It's gonna happen."

Before John has the chance to respond the door opens and in comes Y/n with her shirt in her hand. She smiles at the boys and heads straight for her bag putting her shirt in it.

"I thought you were going to throw your bra onstage?" Alex smiles cheekily at John.

"Yeah, I wasn't really feeling it tonight" Both of the boys laugh.

"Okay party at the hotel next door. You guys down?" Alex says causing Y/n to look at him as if he had three heads.

John internally makes the decision to go if she went as he wanted to get to know her more.

"I can't drink, I drove here" Y/n shakes her head.

"Yes you can, stay in the room. There's three beds."

"Alex," she says not sure.

"Yay party!" He starts dancing around like a child making everyone laugh.

Without a second thought, they were all at the hotel next door partying in the rented out room with their friends and a few randoms.

Music blasting, drinks being handed out, sweaty bodies being pressed against one another, random couples making out, loud obnoxious singing, it was a college students dream.

"So you and Julian?" John asks the alcohol building his confidence.

"There's nothing there" She shakes her head at what he was suggesting, "he's literally like my son."

"Ouch, son zoned" John shakes his head. Y/n laughs at this never having heard it before. He joins in, her laugh being contagious.

John keeps sipping on different alcoholic beverages given to him while Y/n drinks water, expecting to drive home.

"Okay, I think it's time you call it a night" The girl says holding onto a drunk John.

"Night night" He mumbles letting the girl lead him out of the main room and into a bedroom that surprisingly didn't have a random couple inside.

She sits him down on the queen sized bed and lets him drink from her water, hoping it will make a slight difference in the morning.

He sets the glass down after downing it then lays back on the bed. She takes his shoes off placing them neatly by the foot of the bed along with her own.

"Let's get you to sleep," Y/n says yanking the covers out from their tucked in sides. She gets in under the covers not trusting the boy on his own.

He smiles a bit and lazily climbs in the bed with her. He pulls her into him and lets out a content sigh.

"You're very pretty" he says sleepily.

"You're not too bad yourself" she says removing his chain necklace and placing it on the night stand.

Sleep soon consumes the both of them until early the next morning. Both John and Y/n wake up at the same time.

He turns to stretch and she yawns quietly.

"We slept together" John joked at the girl that was still half asleep and wrapped around him.

"That's hot" she mumbled cuddling into him more.
