(Y/N) POV:
You shot up in bed not knowing exactly where you were, startled from the nightmare that you just had. It had felt so real and it left you gasping for air in between the tears that you didn't know you were crying. The visions of the horrid nightmare kept flashing in your brain. To keep it light, a guy had kidnapped both you and Ricky and ended up killing Ricky while you watched. It finally registered in your head that you were in you and Ricky's bed. You quickly patted around the bed trying to feel where Ricky was. But to your surprise you didn't feel him at all. This startled you and started to get you all worked up inside. What if the nightmare was true?
"Ricky??" You whispered into the thin air, hoping for a reply.
You waited a few moments and there was still no response. The anxiety in you began to grow more and more. You wiped the tears that were still streaming down your face before picking yourself up from the bed. Your arms quickly wrapped around your body as the cold air of the room hit your skin. You slowly walked over to the bedroom door pushing it open to reveal the open hallway.
The faint sound of a guitar being strummed caught your attention. You started to relax a little bit as you knew this was bound to be Ricky. What was he doing up so late? After all the awards show was tomorrow and he really should be getting some sleep. You walked over to your old room seeing the light creep out through the crack in the doorway. The thoughts of the nightmare still looked in your mind as you slowly pushed open the door.
Just like you expected, Ricky was right there, sitting on the office chair, playing around with one of his black acoustic guitars. You sniffled seeing him and wiped your cheeks trying to make it look like you hadn't been crying. He looked up from the guitar and met your eyes as you looked down at him. Your body was shaking from the cold and the nightmare combined. It helped being able to see that Ricky was okay though and you were very grateful for that.
Ricky could tell something was wrong and with no hesitation at all, he rose from the seat and walked over to you wrapping his arms around you. You tried your hardest to not cry anymore and make it a big deal.
"W-what are you doing up s-still..." You tried your best to keep your voice steady but Ricky could hear right through that bullshit and you knew he could. He slowly began to rub your back, you started to calm down a little bit but were really shaken up from what had happened.
"Sorry I couldn't sleep...and I wanted to practice a little bit so I could actually try and get some sleep.....Is everything okay?" He spoke softly as if he was trying to not wake anyone else up.
"Y-yeah everything is fine." You pulled away from the hug and crossed your arms in front of you, Giving him a weak smile.
"Are you sure?" He went to grab your arm, but before you could you violently moved away from him.
"GOD RICKY I SAID I WAS FINE OKAY?" You began crying again as you realized how loud you had screamed at him. He looked at you in shock that you could even be that loud. You slowly backed out of the room seeing his face. He almost looked sad....what have you done (Y/N)?!?! You ran over into the bathroom and locked the door behind you just wanting to be alone.
Ricky didn't deserve that! God why did you have to be so mean! He was just making sure you were okay, which you weren't. You put your back against the door and slid down until you were met with the floor. It had to be at least 2 in the morning and you had to be up at 8 to make sure you had enough time to get ready for the award show. You quietly sobbed as your hand reached up to your neck and carefully grabbed the necklace Ricky had bought you. He was such a perfect guy and you just had to go and mess it all up by screaming at him. You sat in the bathroom for a few minutes before you felt a few soft knocks on the door.
"(Y/N)? Will you please let me in?" hearing the soft voice you loved you much made you sob even more. He was probably just going to walk in a say he didn't want to deal with you anymore and make you leave.
You shakily got up with the tears still streaming down your face. Your hand moved and unlocked the door, opening it. You were met with Ricky looking down at the floor. He quickly moved his head up and saw how red your eyes and cheeks really were.
"Baby......" He slowly put his arms out. You frowned and fell right into them completely breaking down as Ricky held you close.
"I-m s-sorry I just had a n-nightmare that your d-died and it scared me r-really b-bad." He hugged you tighter as he listened to every word you tried to get out.
"Hey, look at me..." you slowly pulled away from his chest and looked up at him, seeing his beautiful blue eyes sparkle in the dark. "It's okay, I'm not mad at you, I promise." You nodded as he kissed you softly. "We really need to get to bed though because the big day is tomorrow." He laughed whispering into the kiss. You laughed weakly and nodded, grabbing his hand and dragging him to the bedroom.
You both crawled into your sides of the bed, Ricky quickly cuddled up next to you and you did the same next to him. Your mind drifted to thinking about how everything was going to go tomorrow at the award show. Before you could even think too much in depth into it you were already passed out in Ricky's arms. Everything was going to be fine! Or was it?
--------------------
Today was the day! You were a bit tired from the little incident you had last night with the nightmare, but that wasn't going to stop you! Ricky was currently in the shower and you had just gotten out. You dried yourself off and put on a sports bra and shorts for the time being. Ricky was taking forever in the damn shower and you really needed to start on your makeup. Would it really be weird if you walked in and just started doing your makeup while he finished his shower? Probably but you didn't care. You walked into the bathroom and sat on the counter.
"Hey sorry I really need to start working on my face so if you don't mind i'll just be sitting here...." Hopefully he wouldn't kick you out or find this weird, you were a couple and this is what couples do right?
"That's fine." He laughed and a wave of relief flowed over you. Your hair was still wet but you figured you could deal with that next. The makeup you normally used everyday was all over the counter at this point. Ricky pointed out that you probably had an addiction and you were begging to think he was right.
You started to do a black smokey eye shadow look as Ricky got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. Damn he looked hot with wet hair. You turned around on the counter and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave you a quick kiss before walking out to get himself ready. You continued to work on the black smokey eye look hoping that it would look nice with everything else.
You finally finished your makeup after an hour of trying to get it to be perfect. Next was your hair, You planned on curling it. You didn't curl your hair often but it was a special occasion so why the hell not. Ricky was in the other room practicing on his guitar again just loud enough for you to hear from the bathroom which you enjoyed. You pulled the curling iron out and started to get it heated up.
Ricky's POV:
Why am I so nervous?!?! I shouldn't be this nervous about the guys meeting (Y/N) but I definitely am. What if they didn't like her? What if they made rude comments to her? I know they probably wouldn't do this but I really loved her and I didn't want them to not like her. After all they were my best friends and their opinions did matter a lot to me. I set down my guitar and walked back over to the bedroom to get ready for what a long day this was going to be.
I pulled on my black button down shirt and rolled the sleeves up halfway. On top of that I put a suit vest, it was one of my more formal looks that I liked to do when we had special things to go to. I slid on some nice black skinny jeans and put on my formal black shoes. Now I just had to wait for (Y/N) to be ready. I sat down on the bed and waited playing with my thumbs. She ran in, her makeup all done and her hair curled. I had never seen her with her hair curled before and damn did she look beautiful, she should really do it like that more often. She walked over to the closet and pulled the dress out.
"I'm gonna need your help getting this zipped." she laughed holding the dress.
"Alright i'm going to go fix my hair so call me when you need me." I walked out and over into the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror. I quickly touched up my black eye shadow and brushed through my hair for the last time. Before long I heard (Y/N) calling for me.
"Babe come help me!" I laughed and walked into the bedroom seeing how beautiful she looked in everything. Best of all she was wearing the jewelry I got her at the mall a few days earlier.
"You look so beautiful..." I could see her blush in the mirror as I zipped up the back of her dress.
She turned and faced me, looking up at me with a smile. I looked back down at her and returned a smile of my own.
"Thank you, now come on we got a few minutes so let's take some pictures." She leaned up and quickly kissed me before walking out.
--------------------
We had just pulled up to where the show was being held and I could tell that we were definitely both nervous. The guys were supposed to be meeting us outside of the place so they could all meet (Y/N). I got out of the car and walked around to her side, opening her door for her and taking her hand in mine.
"Ricky.......I love you just remember that." She gave me a small smile. God she was so gorgeous, everything about her was! The way her hair laid on her shoulders perfectly, the way the dress showed off her perfect body and curves. There was nothing about her that didn't make her gorgeous. We were a bit early and to our surprise we were the first ones there out of all of the guys.
"I love you too and I promise no matter what happens i'll be right at your side." She nodded, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. This whole thing was new to her so I couldn't blame her for being so nervous. She wasn't used to big events like these, but i'm sure over the years she'll get used to them. I could feel her lean into me and I carefully put my arm around her shoulder.
Before long, Chris showed up. From what I could tell, Chris really liked (Y/N)! This was a good sign that the others would like her too.
"So what are your intentions here with my best friend?" I could hear Chirs interrogating her as I waited for the others to show up.
"Well uh I guess to be the best girlfriend he's ever had?" She answered sounding unsure if that was the correct answer or not.
"Which she had been." I smiled coming in and all three of us laughed. Once the laughter died down, Vinny, Ryan and Justin showed up.
"Hey guys! This is (Y/N), my girlfriend!" Hopefully they would like her....
(Y/N) POV:
You waved to the other 3 boys and smiled. The heat began to creep up into your cheeks. You really liked Chris, he was super chill and was fun to joke around with. But what would these other 3 think about you?
"Oh so you think you can just steal our boy away from us huh?"The boy with long brown hair questioned you. You became a little tense and put your hand on Ricky's back.
"Uhhh ummm" You stuttered not knowing what to say. Ricky pulled you closer to him, you quickly shot him a worried look hoping he would help you out here.
"Oh come on Vinny..." Ricky started off and gave the boy a death glare.
"Nah, I'm just kidding, I'm Vinny!" He put his hand out and you sighed in relief shaking it. Ricky looked like he was going to have a heart attack. You laughed a bit and turned to the other boys.
"Hey im Ryan and this is Justin." Right. Okay the one with the beard was Ryan and the other one was Justin. You shook both of their hands before returning your hand back to Ricky's back.
"We should probably go in and sit down." Chris suggested and everyone agreed smiling. You didn't know what you were doing so you were hoping Ricky would show you where you had to go and everything like that. The 6 of you found your way over to the seating area and you of course sat right next to Ricky.
"Hey man she's really cute!" You overheard Vinny talking to Ricky and blushed hearing the complement.
"Dude stop trying to steal my girl." Ricky laughed and you and Vinny joined him.
"Fine, anyway I forgot to tell you that you're up for guitarist of the year." Vinny spoke to Ricky, clearly not having told him this before.
"I am?" Ricky looked confused and you just shrugged when he looked at you.
"Yep so have fun with the speech when you win." Vinny laughed and pulled out his phone. Oh great just what Ricky needed, another thing to stress him out.
You grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze. You honestly hoped he did get the award, after all he was such a hardworking amazing guitar player. The lights in the whole entire place suddenly shut off signaling that the awards were starting.
--------------------
These award shows definitely took a long ass time. You sat and watched award after award being given out. Ricky already had to go up a few times with the guys to get a few awards for the band, but the award that you really wanted to see him win was up next and you couldn't wait.
The stage people gave out the award and then announced that they would now be giving out the award for guitarist of the year. You waited anxiously hoping that your boyfriend would win. After announcing the nominees for the award, the people on stage pulled an envelope out and opened it. They pulled out a piece of paper and read off what it said.
"And this year's award for guitarist of the year goes too.....Ricky Horror Olson!" You smiled and watched as Ricky walked up to the stage and took the award from them. He walked up to the mic and you couldn't help but smile when he looked at you.
"Well i'd like to thank my band and best friends of course and most importantly, I'd like to thank my girlfriend, (Y/N), For keeping me going these past few weeks. She's always inspiring me with the amazing artwork and merch designs she creates and she really brings a purpose into my life. I love you (Y/N)." All the guys looked at you as Ricky smiled and blew you a kiss before returning to his seat. You could hear the whole audience aweing at his sweet words.
"OOOOO Ricky is going to get some tonight!" You hear Vinny whisper to him. Ricky's whole face went as red as a tomato. You laughed and grabbed his hand, leaving a kiss on the back of it.
"I love you baby." He smiled and gave you a quick kiss before going back to watch the awards. You couldn't believe that he actually said all of that about you! He was definitely the perfect guy who knew how to make a girl happy.
--------------------
You and Ricky stayed a bit after the show so that people could congratulate him. Of course you just stood there holding his hand and being supportive but that's what you enjoyed doing. After a few hours you decided it was getting late and it would be best to get home. You and Ricky walked out into the parking lot with all of the guys.
"Hey (Y/N)! You should come to the next band practice!" You heard Chris yell from behind you.
"Deal i'll be there!" You laughed joking with him as you got into the car. Ricky got in after you and once he did you looked over lovingly.
"You won!!!" You laughed, grabbing his hand and throwing it up into the air. He laughed and kissed the back of your hand."
"I already have the best prize though.....you" You blushed a deep red color. He always knew how to make you feel special. "You really should come to the next practice tho it would be fun to have you around..."
"Alright i'll think about it" You laughed, Hey maybe it would be fun. "Can we get home though because I want to finish our movie from last night and my feet are killing me." He laughed and nodded starting the car. It had been a long day but it was definitely a day you would never, ever forget.
