I LOVE THIS GUY MORE THAN MY LIFE.

PART 1

Bumper Cars // luke hemmings

Summary: Roommate!luke & Y/N both have feelings for each other but, won’t tell the other person how they feel

Requested: no, based off of the song “Bumper Cars” by Alex & Sierra

Warning: yes, not this part in particularly but the series as a whole

Pairing: Luke & Y/N

Letting out a loud sigh, she slams the door shut behind her, letting her roommate know she was home. Struggling to balance the groceries in her arms, she curses under her breath.

Her roommate appeared moments later with a pencil tucked tightly behind his ear, a clear indication that he had been writing. 

“Let me help you with that.” He offers, grabbing the two large shopping bags from her arms and setting them on the counter. 

“Sorry, I was-" 

"I know.” She smiles softly. He gives her a small nod before starting to unload the bags. 

“How was your day?” He asks her. 

 "Fine.“ She sighed, handing him the peanut butter because he was the only one of them tall enough to reach the top shelf. 

"What’s wrong?” He asks poking her cheek, causing her to smile.

“Nothing Luke.” She giggles as he pokes her cheek softly. 

“Tell me.” He insists. 

“It’s not a big deal.” She swats his hand away. “Brian canceled our date so it looks like it’s just you and me tonight.” He clenches his jaw at the mention of his name. Luke had told Y/N ever since her first date with Brian that he was no good for her. He’d constantly flirt with other girls behind Y/N back and he treated her like shit. But Luke knew she was head over heels in love with him and no matter how he felt about her, he knew he wanted nothing more than for her to be happy. 

She starts to boil a pot of water. “I’ll make spaghetti?” She asks, knowing that it was his favorite. 

“Sure bug.” He rests his chin on her shoulder and wraps his arms around her waist. This was almost routine for them. The nicknames, the hugging, anyone who didn’t know them would be left to assume they were a couple. They’d always been this way since her first day at a new school and Luke was the only one who wasn’t afraid to approach her. They clicked instantly and became the bestest of friends. It wasn’t until she was older however that she realized she had developed feelings for her best friend. She knew that he was too good for her and forced herself to move on, hence Brian. But there was still some part of her that would find herself attracted to the little things Luke would do, like when he’d fall asleep on the couch with his lips slightly parted with the tv playing the same cartoons he’d fallen asleep to at 3am or when he’d be so into what he was writing he’d stay up until the early hours of the morning playing the new song softly on his guitar, a peaceful melody for her to fall asleep to.

 He’d never tell Y/N, but Luke had developed feelings for her too. Early on he thought that it was just because they spent so much time together. It wasn’t until he spent the summer in Europe, away from her for almost 3 weeks, that he realized he simply couldn’t function without her. He tried his luck with a few girls here and there but all of them were missing something, none of them were Y/N. Every time she’d mention Brian’s name, he’d feel a pang of jealousy in his stomach. She deserved so much better, but he also knew that she was happy. “Ready?” Y/N asked, adding the sauce to the pot of noodles. 

“Yup.” Luke smiled, grabbing a pair of chopsticks from the drawer.

“I still don’t understand why you use chopsticks to eat spaghetti.” She laughed at him. 

“We have so many pairs in there and we’re never going to use them all.” He explains taking a seat on the couch. She shakes her head and joins her roommate in the couch while they decide on what to watch. 

-

She tossed and turned that night. Nothing was bothering her, she just couldn’t fall asleep. Pushing the covers off of her, she pressed her ear to the wall to see if she could hear Luke playing. She frowned when she couldn’t. Slipping on her slippers, she tiptoed out of her room and into the living room. The only sound coming from the apartment was their tv, which Luke probably fell asleep to. Grabbing a glass of water, she walked over to the living room and found Luke past out on the couch. Reaching for the remote, she turned it off. 

“I was watching that.” Luke’s voice was deep. She almost dropped her water at the sound of his voice. 

“I thought you were asleep.” She explains, bringing a hand to her chest, startled. 

“I was listening.” He rubs his eyes and sits up. “What are you doing up anyway?” He asks. “It’s nearly 2am." 

 "I couldn’t sleep.” She grumbles. He pats the spot next to him and her chest clenches.

“C'mon Y/N.” Luke lifts his blanket up so she can sit next to him. She’s hesitant at first but gives in when Luke sticks his bottom lip out. She takes a seat next to him and rests her head on his shoulder. 

“Is this better?” He asks, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“Much.” She nuzzles herself closer to him. They sit in silence for about 15 minutes, both thinking about the other person and what they’re thinking. Just as Luke was about to break the silence, Y/N speaks up. 

“This is the third time this week you’ve fallen asleep watching Spongebob.” She yawns and reaches for his hand, interlocking their fingers. 

“I didn’t fall asleep.” He leans in close to her ear. “I was listening." 

"Whatever you say.” Her eyelids become heavy. He mindlessly plays with a long strand of her hair and wraps it around his finger. It’s these small moments with Y/N that he cherishes. He’d give anything to have these late night encounters every night.

Before he knew it, her breathing slowed and soft snores fell from her lips. He pulled the blanket over her before kissing her cheek and resting his head on top of hers. 

-

When Y/N woke up the next morning, Luke had a death grip around her waist. His fingers were interlocked around her hips. She smiled as she looked at him. His hair was a mess and his face was pressed up against the arm rest. Just the sight of him made her heart race. He was gorgeous. She reached her hand out to touch his face, just to feel what actual beauty felt like. He groaned at the contact and wrapped his hand around her own. 

“What time is it princess?” He asked in a groggy voice. Luke had called her many names in their years together, but never princess. Her mouth went dry at the name and she quickly tried to regain her composure. 

“I don’t know.” She answered. He hummed in his half awake state and pulled her closer to him. 

“Why were you touching my face, Y/N?” Luke asked her.

“You looked stunning.” She answered honestly. She’d never seen someone wake up as gracefully as Luke did. His skin was glowing and the sun light peaked through his dark blonde curls, making them appear to be golden. 

“So do you.” He cupped her face, now fully awake. It felt like her cheeks were on fire and she was sure Luke could feel how warm she was getting. He brushed the pad of his thumb against her cheek and mumbled a quick, “beautiful” before interlocking their fingers once more.

“Do you have class today?” She quickly changed the subject.

“Nope, you?” He asked, grabbing the remote. 

“Yeah, but not until later.” She snuggled closer to him.

“How about we just stay like this all day?” He suggests pressing his cheek to hers. 

“Your beard is scratching me.” She giggles scrunching her face up. “And as much as I love you, I have to go to class.” The words poured out before she could process what she was saying. 

 Luke cleared his throat loudly. 

“I didn’t mean like-” She started. 

“I know.” He smiled weakly. 

“I’ll make us some breakfast, yeah?” She brushed her fingers through his hair before standing up and walking to the kitchen. 

 Luke’s mind was swimming with thoughts. He wanted nothing more than to be with Y/N and have the intimate moments like they had last night, every night. He knew that if she told him how he felt that it would ruin their friendship completely if she didn’t feel the same and he’d rather have her as a friend than nothing at all. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration, only being brought out of his thoughts when the fire alarm started going off.

 Y/N burnt their pancakes.

Message me suggestions for part 2!

(Luke is totally the type to use chopsticks to eat spaghetti and fall asleep watching spongebob, you can’t even fight me on this he’s such a dork I love him)

I have never seen grape ice cream.

Actually, i know why this is:

Grapes contain a  a special molecule Anthocyanin that prevents freezing, so you’d keep ending up with grape milk. Many ice cream companies and manufacturers have made bold attempts at grape ice cream, hardly any of them successful.

But then, finally, those geniuses at Ben and Jerry’s did it. So why don’t we have grape ice cream?

Here’s the thing: Ben confessed in a People Magazine interview in 1984 that he had a huge crush on Becky and promised to create the flavor just for her. Knowing the history of grape ice cream, she coyly requested it, thinking it to be impossible. Ben began to include the grape skin and juice to better see the differences between batches. While he didn’t understand the science behind this at the time, he found that including the skins increased the levels of anthocyanin enough to make the ice cream freeze. “Becky was impressed,” he remarked, “We were at her house, alone. I gave her the scoop – on a cone. I was really getting somewhere. She was laughing and happy. She couldn’t believe I did it. I’ll never forget what happened next.”

“Becky jokingly gave her dog a lick from the cone. He liked it and took a couple of licks. Then he just gasped and dropped dead. He flipped down onto the floor and was just gone. I had no idea grapes are toxic to dogs. Specifically to the anthocyanin. Becky was devasted. I had invented a deadly dog poison, and I definitely wasn’t getting anywhere with her now.”

Yeah. 

tldr; The reason we don’t have grape ice cream is because Ben from Ben and Jerry’s killed Jerry’s hot sister’s dog with it.

holy fuck

It was kinda pretty

I hope u end up ok
