Work Text:
I was continued to be dragged throughout the halls by my best friend Sid who began to tell me all about his new friends he met a few days ago. The tall spiky haired guy continuing to look back at me to see my face, he seemed really happy about me meeting them.
Sid continued holding my hand when we entered a room and saw three guys inside with a few instruments scattered around the messy room along with many ripped pages on the carpet.
"Paul, Steven Glen, Johnny. I want you to meet my friend, (Y/N). She's the one who's been helping me with writing songs, so I thought that maybe she might want to help us out."
Sid told the guys and smiled down at me before wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Believe me, she can write anything good."
Paul shrugged his shoulder and smiled at me along with Glen. "If she is Sid's friend than she's welcomed."
"Aren't you excited to have a girl around, John?" Steve said and turned to face the red head who didn't seem to care about the conversation going on.
"Who cares as long as she can bring in some money. I hate fuckin' groupies." I heard him mutter the last part which made me upset and angry.
"I am not one of them." I bitterly told him. This may seem like it's our first time meeting but it's not. We met each other many years ago when we were still kids.
For some reason we never got along.
"Need I remind you, that you used to pull on me hair back then."
John's eyes landed on me this time looking at me boredly, "Can't recall." he said continuing to smoke.
"You pushed me down the stairs once too! And stole my homework-"
"Ooh." Paul appeared again stepping between us both. Sid being oblivious to this since I never mentioned John and I being classmate's years ago. He and I shared most of our classes together.
"It seems like our boy Johnny had a crush." His comment earned him a near slap from John.
"Piss off. I was never interested in such things while studying." Johnny said looking away from us and digging through something inside a box behind him.
"I can tell he's lying." I heard teasing from Sid above me. I looked back at him and simply shook my head slowly.
"Don't you dare team up with Paul and the others." I warned looking at him. Sid simply chuckled and had a wicked grin on his face.
**************
A few months have gone by since I officially met the guys and had started writing songs for them. I would hand them out to Johnny but he would store them in his note and claim that they were bad, Sid convinced me that he actually likes the lyrics but won't admit it, which is the truth.
The guys have begun to record their songs and because we needed us lot of money to complete the album.
We all began to save up and by that it meant that I moved out of my parents home when I began to have a second job. Johnny and Sid began to live under my roof now at an affordable apartment I got, they would share a room together while of course I slept at the other
This would leads to a few more arguments then usual since we would see each other at the studio then back at home.
Neither of them know how to cook and nearly burned the stove so I was on cooking duty while the guys would wash their clothes and clean the place up, they left tje kitchen and small living room spotless, though I bet their room is different.
Although I would say that being at the apartment would become awkward as well. The guys well are guys who they would of course being girls to their room, I had no idea if they would share or only one would do the actions but in those occasions I would leave the apartment to have a walk across the neighborhood.
It began to make me sick thinking of my best friend Sid doing the nasty with a random girl, not to mention John, I won't admit it out loud but despite his aggressive and cold nature I did begin to fall for him, more than a friend even if he's said plenty of times he isn't interested in a relationship to the guys.
Though as embarrassing as it may sound I have imagined myself being one of the girls laying down under him, thinking to myself how lucky they are to see all of him. Sometimes through the walls everything would be heard and I would imagine his fingers inside m-
"(Y/N)!"
I turned around surprised to see Paul with two bottled of beer. "Y-Yes?" I stuttered since I didn't want him to see my blushing face.
The guys had finished playing a show and we're kicked out of the place I had gotten them to play it, I won't be able to show my face there ever again.
Paul chuckled for whatever reason, "I said if you wanted a beer, love."
"Are you daydreaming again?" Steve appeared behind me wrapping an arm around me.
I awkwardly chuckled hoping they wouldn't know. "I haven't done that since middle school. Besides weren't you guys out picking girls?"
"Oh we were but you're rather cute as well. Even McClaren has his eyes on you." Glen said leaning close to my ear.
"Well I find that hard to believe since he's with my boss, Viv." I responded quick.
Steven shook his head at Glen when he said those things. "Oi she's Johnny's girl remember."
And their teasing have begun once more. It's like having annoying older brothers around. I glanced back to see Johnny alone at the bar smoking a cigarette and having a cold beer, i noticed he had a cut at the edge of his lip and above his eyebrow.
The bastard began a fight at the small venue that I had to intervene to stop him from killing a guy, I don't know what the reason of the fight was but I'm glad I stopped them.
"I am not so quit being so stupid! He's an idiot and continued to be so reckless." I loudly told both guys who were with me.
i noticed Johnny roll his eyes when he continued to hear me bashing on how terrible he treats everyone and whenever females are around.
"Everyone loves me, just admit it. I have a unique charm of my own, love." He said taking another swing at the canned beer he had in his hands. He remained sitting down and thankfully Glen and Steve slowly moved away.
His comment made me scoff since I know how much of an arrogant bastard he can get and easily tell someone off.
"Surely your dick is as big as your arrogance and inflated ego." I mindlessly said crossing my arms over my chest wanting this conversation to be over.
"Would you like to see then?" A massive blush made its way up my face when I realized what I had said and his reply!
A small and sadistic smirk appearing across his lips when he noticed my unexpected reaction. Where the bloody hell is Sid?!
He's the one who mostly saves me from these types of fights and awkward conversations. "Sidney isn't here to save you it seems." He continued the teasing.
I watched him lighting up a cigarette and placing it on his lips before he blew smoke on my face making me not flinch this time like before.
"You look pathetically cute like that." Johnny said taking another drag of the cigarette and leaving me before giving me a quick wink.
Wait was that a wink or did my eyes catch something else?!
The fights we now have been having are now filled with innuendos coming from mostly his part and tons of teasing. Claims to say that he hates seeing me wearing something short, convincing me that a pedo or perverted man will take advantage of me or touch me..also saying that the type of clothes doesn't suit me.
Sid has continued to tell me to ignore him and that he's surely flirting with me, like actually likes me, but he says these things when drunk so I find it hard to believe in him.
I began to suddenly feel sorry that he had gotten hurt, I swallowed my pride and made my way to sit next to him, I picked up the beer and slowly placed the cold can of beer against his swollen cheer that would sure to bruise later on.
A hiss came from Johnny so I quickly pulled it back looking at me concerned, "Shit. I'm sorry if that stung I won't-"
"That fuckin' bastard landed a hard punch, don't worry about it."
Johnny said taking a quick glance at me then back at his hand. Surely this must mean for me to not worry about his injury, i asked the bartender to give me some ice, so I wrapped some inside a cloth and carefully held it to John's cheek.
It's so weird for us to be this peaceful and not arguing like usual.
"Well, guess we're off of that venue now. That makes it three places that had kicked us out so far!" I chimed trying to make conversation.
A soft chuckle erupted from his lips. "And we're bloody getting more recognition cuz of it. How's work going for you? I know you hate working at that sex place with Vivienne."
I try not to blush at the many awful experiences I've had working there, and far too many embarrassing ones.
"It's going well..." I lied.
Johnny sighed and I felt his wrap his hand around my wrist making me stop from holding the ice. "The reason I started the fight was because I heard the guy back there saying some awful things 'bout you."
I tilted my head not fully understanding. "I warned you about wearing revealing clothes, god those stockings and dress are going to kill me." I heard him mutter to himself lowly.
My face once again began to burn up, it's the drinks doing the talk surely!
"Well, there was no need to fight, John. I can do it on my own. I can kick their assed myself!"
John's green eyes seemed to soften when he looked back at me and heard him chuckle. "You really are a weird one, (Y/N)."
I warmly looked back at him now with an visible blush on tm face painting my skin red, "You're not bad yourself, Lydon." I replied and winked back at him.
For the remaining of the night we continued to talk for a bit, not once beginning to build up an argument over simple things. Maybe getting to know him will make us both enjoy each other's company.
