Gives you hell is on my work playlist too lol

But imagine: Indie band Allen singing it thinking about his breakup with ex punk band member Arthur, who's "betrayed" his roots by getting a 9 to 5 (maybe can't do the van life anymore, maybe too much in-fighting with band members, maybe some kind of responsibility came up but w/e it is Allen still feels hurt). Allen knows he blew things up out of proportions, and Arthur knows he got way too overly defensive, but both are some proud mfs, and Allen's definitely too proud to apologize first.

Enter up and coming boyband. The pretty boy of the group is Alfred, and Allen immediately hates him. Hasn't even met him yet or heard any of their music, but he doesn't have to. It's all the same formulaic bullshit.

One day at a gig, Allen notices a semi-familiar face in the crowd, especially those dimples and blue eyes, but he's wearing a beanie, covering his hair, and glasses give Alfred the Clark Kent effect, so Allen doesn't realize Pretty Boy is listening to his music. Alfred notices Allen looking at him and waves awkwardly. They end up talking after the show over drinks, Allen poking fun at Alfred for sticking to soda and water (Alfred and his band mates had to sign a contract saying they'd stay sober, to keep up a family friendly look, and Alfred takes the contract seriously, being a Good BoyTM).

Then Allen passes the poster of the new boy band again and notices Pretty Boy's dimples and blue eyes. Oh, fuck.

Sorry, I randomly thought of your band au when the acoustic version of Wolf in Sheep's Clothing came on my work playlist earlier today

DON’T APOLOGISE PLEASE I DIDNT THINK THAT AU APPEALED TO ANYONE BUT ME LMAOOO

this is literally 😳 so perfect. i do like the idea of arthur having to quit because of some actual responsibilities, but he’s arthur so he just kinda bounced without actually explaining himself and allen’s overdramatic. they’re both bad communicators lmao. BUT with a situation like this, it gives them an opportunity to make up with each other later. because i do love a mint choc friendship <3

and SKDJSJS idek why allen would be such a hater to alfred but i know he would be. whether it be because alfred’s music is ‘generic pop’, or his face just ‘annoys him’ (he thinks he’s cute) - but alfred probably just?? adores him?? he likes his music and thinks allen is really pretty too and just. ugh 🥺

AND THEN THEY GET TO BOND OVER ‘DRINKS’ (rip alfred and his soda) allen figures out alfred’s actually an interesting person, and alfred gets to hang out with this cute guy. lovely, wonderful, perfect. this is beautiful. i also hope that it’s secretly revealed that allen DOES like some of alfred’s music, because even if he’s a tryhard hater… he can’t help that alfred’s boy band music is catchy as hell. (im just imagining any one direction song in existence)

#i dont think u understand how excited i am that someones talking about this au!! anon ur the best 🥺🥺🥺🥺 #i will now go listen to that song… and gives you hell… AND one direction now. thank u very much <3 #but yknow what as much as i love making arthur a villain… he is going to be such a good friend in the later part of this 😤 #and yknow. allen and arthur probably had a thing #but they grew. allen will start developing feelings for alfred once he and arthur rekindle their friendship #and he’ll be good friends with both of them 🥰 i love a healthy set of friendships too #now this au’s gonna need a name #haha… kiss you au #because. one direction. hehe #i’ll think abt it some more #asks! #kiss you au
