The Break In

It wasn’t a lot at first, just enough noise to make me anxious A thump here, a creak there, but those little noises soon became bigger, making me aware of what was happening. What I originally thought was only the wind quickly turned into me fleeing my apartment and frantically knocking on the door to the right of mine. I didn’t know if he was awake, or even home for that matter, but the figure on my balcony was enough to send me into a panicked frenzy. 

“Hey, you okay?” Brian asked sleepily, opening his apartment door. His hair was messy and his eyes held confusion. 

“Hey sorry I know it’s late but-” I struggled to speak, shaking violently.

“Hey hey, slow down…tell me what’s going on.” He said, grabbing my shoulders.

“There’s someone on my balcony,” I said nervously. He was quick to pull me into his apartment. He locked his door and sat me down on his couch, he set a glass of water in front of me and wrapped a fluffy blanket around my shoulders before pulling out his phone to call the cops. 

I sat silently, staring at the table in front of me, spacing out while he made the call, I was vaguely aware of him pacing the room behind the couch, flinching as a shatter was heard through the wall. Whoever was on my balcony had broken in through my window.

Brian sat down beside me while we waited for the police to arrive, occasionally checking in on me. That was something I loved about him, he was always so considerate when he was talking to me, making sure I was comfortable when he’d invite me to hang out with him and his friends, he’d even gone out of his way to pick me up from work on nights where I’d worked late. I never understood why he paid so much attention to me, but I wasn’t complaining. 

As it turned out, the person who broke in through my window had spotted Brian while he was out and followed him home, only she’d gotten the apartment number wrong. I didn’t want to think about what she would have done if she had gotten the right apartment. After the authorities had arrested the intruder Brian walked me home. I stepped through the door and looked around at my trashed apartment. The woman had not only broken my window and pulled every book off of my shelves, but she lodged my expensive kitchen knives into the wall. I let out a shaky breath and went to grab the broom and dustpan before Brian grabbed my wrist.

“You know, you can uh…you can sleep with me tonight…if it would make you feel better.” He offered. 

“Are you sure?” I asked softly to which he nodded. 

We went back to his apartment and I sat down on his couch. “You can sleep-”

“I’m not taking your bed.” I interrupted.

“We could always share the bed.” He suggested quietly. My eyebrows furrowed a bit at his words. “It’s just. I've always kinda liked you. No funny business, promise.”

“Yeah. I’ve always kinda liked you, too.” I said shyly.

We went to his room and laid down under his covers. As I drifted off to sleep I felt his arms wrap around my waist. “Is this okay?” He asked, sleep evident in his voice. I rolled over and rested my forehead against his chest.

“It’s perfect.”

A Beautiful Pair

Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) x Fem!Reader

Warnings: brief mention of murder and necrophilia (you know the song), fluff.

Word Count: 753

A/N: Here’s more Syn for you. Haha. Oh, and the other band referenced in the fic  (the one Y/N is in) was the name of a band I was in when I was in high school (which no longer exists). If there is a current band with that name now, that’s not who I’m referencing. 

My Full Master List

Matt smiled as he moved the computer mouse, hovering it over another line on the screen. “And here, we have Y/N’s solo. It was cool to have her play a song with us,” he explains to the camera as Brian nods beside him. “For those of you who don’t know, Y/N is the lead guitarist from the band Death Toll Rising, and a fucking amazing friend of ours. Well, she’s a little more than a friend to Syn here.” Matt nudged Brian’s shoulder.

“Yeah, I think I can consider my wife as a little more than a friend,” he joked dryly.

“I would hope so. Anyway, she joined us for this song, and will be joining us for another song on our upcoming album. Oh, spoilers!” Matt chuckled. “Let’s hear her piece completely by itself.” He pressed the space bar, playing your solo. Matt swayed his head to the rhythm, and Brian nodded along as the twenty-five second solo. Then, Matt highlighted Brian’s piece, which played along with yours.

“Ah, what a beautiful pair, just like the two of you,” Matt joked, nudging Brian again, who just rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, yeah. You’re just jealous that my wife is fucking talented,” Brian beamed, unable to hold back his smile.

“Hell yeah, I am,” you agreed, entering the sound room. Both men turned back to you with a smile, Brian standing from his seat.

“Well, look who we have here. What a treat!” Matt exclaimed in genuine surprise. “Miss—Or should I say Mrs. Y/N Haner, everyone!” He gestured to you as Brian grabbed a chair from another corner of the room and placed it right beside his.

“Hello, guys. I hope you don’t mind if I join you. What have I missed?” you asked, waving briefly at the camera.

“Heck no! We were just analyzing the song you did with us. We just listened to your solo completely by itself, now we’re adding Syn’s piece with it.” You nodded at Matt, then glanced at the screen.

“Well, let’s hear it,” you answered with a grin. Brian leaned forward slightly and pressed the space bar.

You all studied the sound, how Syn’s notes echoed yours perfectly. Then, his piece stopped for just a few seconds, giving you another short solo, before Matt pressed the space bar again.

“Sorry to admit, dude, but I think your wife is a better guitar player than you are.” Matt could barely get the sentence out without laughing. All of you knew that there were very few people alive who were more talented than the great Synyster Gates. But, being his wife, you did get private lessons when you asked, which improved your technique.

Brian’s hand slithered into yours as he laughed. “She’s pretty damn good, huh?” He smiled at you, then gently kissed your temple. You giggled, then shrugged.

“Well, I have a great tutor at my fingertips.” You wiggled your fingers from between Brian’s own fingers, making both of them laugh.

“And this next song you’re doing with us, it had a longer solo for you, huh?” Matt asked, more for the camera than anything. He knew very well what was in store for the whole album.

“Yeah, it’s almost a minute long, and only twenty seconds of that is with Bri—Synyster playing long with me. I think you guys just like torturing me,” you played, rolling your eyes. Matt laughed and nodded.

“Yeah, maybe a little. But, you have your dear husband to thank for that. He wrote your piece.” You turned slowly to Brian, eyes wide. You didn’t know he was the one who wrote it. It’s a brilliant piece, intricate and wild. But, he wrote it for you?

“Sounds like I’m being challenged then, babe. Tested, even?” You flashed Brian a cheeky smile, which he reciprocated.

“Maybe a little bit,” he admitted. “But, I know you can do it. It’s going to be fucking killer.” Without warning, he leaned in and pressed his lips firmly against yours. You leaned into it, then smiled against his lips. Then, he pulled back, squeezing your hand.

“Okay, guys. Enough of that. This is a family program,” Matt teased. You rolled your eyes and huffed a laugh.

“A family program? From the band who wrote an eight-minute-long song about murder and necrophilia?” You cocked an eyebrow, then chuckled. The guys laughed along with you.

“Yeah, okay. Fine. Let’s just get back to the song, okay?” Matt pleaded. You nodded, then reached over, and pressed the space bar.

Thanks for reading. Feedback is appreciated! <3

Imagine Syn getting distracted by you while trying to film a music video...

Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) x Reader

Warnings: mentions of sexual acts, teasing, implied smut.

You stood just to the right of the camera, watching Brian’s fingers toy with the neck of the guitar. Oh, those fingers.

His eyes met the camera, then flicked to the side, landing on you. His gaze floated down your form, pausing for an extra second to admire the way your fitted shirt hugged your chest. His tongue flicked out in response, before he turned his attention back to his guitar.

His hair wildly crowned his swaying head. His eyes glanced back up at you, capturing your gaze yet again. You grinned back at him. Your hand skimmed over the waistband of your jeans, just under your shirt. Then, you tucked your thumb just under the fabric, gaining his full attention.

Brian froze, his eyes darkening. The man behind the camera yelled cut, and everyone stopped.

“Bri, you okay man?” Matt questioned, his voice a little tentative. Brian didn’t take his eyes off you, but nodded.

“Yeah, I just need to take a sec,” he explained, raising his head a little. He slowly slipped his guitar off his shoulder, then started his way towards you. “Y/N, can we talk? Alone?” The guys all turned towards you.

“Of course. Are you okay?” You knew the answer, but you kept your cool. The guys didn’t need to know about your silent conversation, or that Synyster Gates had a secret relationship with their main production assistant.

“Yeah, I just need to ask you something.” Brian deadpanned as he gently took you arm and lead you towards the hall of recording rooms. You followed him, trying to hide the excitement in your step.

You won, this time.

I love John Wiliams, Mr. Bungle, Danny Elfman, Igor. Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel, classic cats and them jazz guys like Allan Holdsworth. It's obvious you can’t always be crazy, but it's about tension and resolution. When you decipher what's happening, there's a whole tone and augmented shit all over the place. I got into a lot of this stuff on the records. you need to have some theory and understand what the fuck you're doing. Invinte your own scale if you want.

Devil’s Gonna Get You If I Don’t First {Synyster Gates Oneshot}

This is a special-edition personalized oneshot for Anonymous Wordcount: 2198 Summary: An incubus always has a need that they need to fulfill. Tessa happens to be there to help scratch that itch. Notes: Honestly, it’s pretty much pure smut. NSFW definitely.

Synyster Gates had his eyes set on Tessa from the get-go. Zacky had pointed her out as someone that Syn might be interested in when they went to the human bars to fill their thirsts, in more ways than one. The green eyes, the freckles - the creamy pale skin, yeah, he was in for that. He chugged down the last of his Jack Daniels from the glass before making his approach. A little bit of sweet talk, some flirtations, the offer of the rest of her drinks being covered by him, and she agreed to go to his table and hang out with his friends until they left the bar. The guys were being nice, and the girls that they had with them were being extremely inclusive and bringing her into all of their conversations, and complimented her outfit of the night. Throughout these conversations, since there wasn’t enough room for ten chairs at the table, all of the women sat on the men’s laps, and Tessa was absolutely no exception, making herself comfortable on Syn’s jeans.

As the night came to a close, Syn monitored how much that Tessa was drinking. She drank less than the other girls, getting tipsy rather than full out drunk, which was absolutely what he preferred. He might be an incubus but no one would ever be able to say that he took advantage of women. If they said no, he stepped away, and didn’t use his powers on them at all. If they drank too much over the night, he didn’t take their consent to be actual consent and saw them home. Just because he was a Supernatural in the world didn’t mean that he wasn’t a gentleman.

“How would you like to continue this, in my hotel?” Synyster asked in Tessa’s ear, arm around her waist, hand making sure that she didn’t slip on the uneven sidewalk. A flush went across her cheeks that he thought was absolutely beautiful, but he didn’t make a further move until she verbally said yes. It was then that he got one of their drivers to pick the two of them up, kissing her cheek once they slid into the black leather interior.

He didn’t have to use any of his powers to keep her wanting more. Just his usual amount of charm. A wink here, a smirk there, rubbing her thigh with his calloused fingers - still feeling a bit sore from the show that he had played the night before. Being a guitarist in a famous band had perks of its own, but he saw something in Tessa. She wasn’t just the average groupie who fawned over him - in fact, she hadn’t brought up the band at all, or asked for a selfie or an autograph. She just seemed to be happy in his presence. This made her very special in his eyes.

His hand was on her thigh throughout the entire ride, until they got to the hotel. The driver had gotten out first and opened the door for them, so when Tessa stepped out of the car, she felt like she was a celebrity. She thanked the driver, then took Synyster’s hand and together they walked into the hotel. They got some stares from the other patrons, rock stars almost always did, and some whispering went on about who the ‘girl’ was, but they were muted when the elevator doors closed. “Ignore anything that they say,” Synyster started. “It doesnt matter what they think, you’re with me tonight.”

Because of that, Tessa felt more confident. One might even say that she felt sexy. Her head was held high, her shoulders as well, and she nuzzled against Synyster until the doors opened onto their quiet floor. It might not stay quiet all that much longer. Synyster had to fumble with the key card for a minute because he was so distracted by the girl who was with him. He was human - he could smell out such things - but she might as well be a siren or a succubus with the way that she was tempting him with those big green eyes. Fuck - he wanted to kiss every freckle on her body, no matter where it was.

Once the door was open, they both stumbled in like a couple of drunk lovers, lips attached to one another, the heavy door swinging shut and locking behind them. There wasn’t even time to put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign, but the hotel knew what they were. There was no chance of a maid coming in without knocking a hundred times. He was blown away by how good that she tasted.

The first thing that she did was lay down on the bed, her knees belt, feet dangling off the end. The way that she giggled and bit her lips - he was extremely turned on. He charged at her like a beast to it’s prey, and lifted the skirt of her dress up to reveal her round ass, clad in cute panties. Not a sexy thong, like someone trying hard, but just polka dots. She rolled onto her side, giggling, and he kissed her exposed asscheek. To add a little something more, a little teasing - because she was doing so much to him - he gave her pussy a light spank, making her jump and giggle all the more.

“Adorable,” He said, pulling the panties off of her, then kissed his way up from her feet to her between her breasts, still hiding behind the dress. “Do you know what I am, Tessa?” He asked, eyes glowing in the dimly lit room.

“You’re an in - incubus,” Tessa stuttered, seeing the look in his eyes. She was not scared by the concept, but rather she looked a little more excited by it. He smirked and nodded his head.

“Smart girl,” He said, catching her lips in a kiss once more. He slipped his tongue between her lips, tasting her even further. “Do you know what I can do to you?”

“Show me,” She challenged, taking him by surprise. The confidence - he was enthralled. He took that as an invitation, as her consent to using his powers on her, so he did.

Under his touch, goosebumps broke out on her skin. Her nipples grew achingly hard, as if she had just walked into a freezer. It was a good thing he had taken her underwear off, for she would have soaked through them. Even her lips were swollen, pins and needles feeling, needing more kisses and more affection. A warmth spread through her insides, filling her up. This was better than any aphrodisiac. This was pure, clean pleasure.

The dress was the next thing to go, and he was amused by the way that her dark bra looked against her pale, creamy skin. His hand kept tapping against Tessa’s ass, grabbing it, being just the right amount of rough with her. Under his touch, she grew all the warmer, and slid out of bed to be on her knees on the plush carpet of the hotel. It was very nicely decorated, and had pure comfort in mind. There wasn’t any of that thin carpeting in here that might cause a rugburn, no, it was soft and plush, like this was what it was made for.

She returned the favor by helping him lose some of his clothes. He stepped out of his pants, which she was kind enough to help unbutton and unzip, and they disappeared into the growing pile of discarded garments. He was already hard - he could get that way on command, but he hadn’t needed to think any dirty thoughts for this to rise. It was all Tessa, and the cute way that her lips formed a smile when they caught eyes. But even though she had this new confidence, he wasn’t going to let her be in charge, or in any sort of control.

Taking her tresses in one hand, being careful not to pull but just to hold, he kept her head steady as he slowly entered his cock into her waiting mouth. There was a little resistance, but it was just her mouth getting used to his size. He was gentle with putting it in, not pushing roughly like he wanted to, but going slow. When Tessa was adjusted to that, he took her arms and held them above her head with his other hand so she had no way to stop him when he got a little rougher. Her mouth was so warm, her tongue so wet, saliva was coating his cock and her lips. He looked down at her, seeing what a good girl that she was, her eyes looking at his the entire time.

Whenever he pulled his cock out of her mouth, a string of saliva went from her lips to his tip, and he thought it was one of the hottest things that he had ever seen. He started to go faster, putting half of his cock in, seeing that she wasn’t ready for the full thing. But damn if she wasn’t trying. She kept pushing her mouth forward, squirming on the floor as she was getting more and more turned on. She had said ‘show me’ and so he was. He was making sure that she wanted him bad. More than she had when she had walked in the door. He could smell her need from where he was standing and it made him harder.

There was a few times when he had let her pull back to breathe, and she immediately went to his balls, licking them like an expert, rubbing his cock in just the right places as she brought it in and out of her own mouth. Syn’s head was thrown back and he was moaning loud enough that the neighbors would probably hear, but he didn’t care. Tessa was the best that he had in a long time.

He was ready to move onto the next thing. He let go of her and went onto he bed, laying out, his cock standing straight up. This was another chance for Tessa to show that she wanted him, and she took that. A coy look was on her face as she crawled up towards him, only to turn around at the last second so he could no longer see his face. She straddled him, back to his face so he could just see the arch, legs splayed wide, hands on his abdomen to steady herself and lowered herself right now. “Such a fucking tease,” Syn said, about not being able to see her face.

He held onto her hips as he started to ram himself into her. When he felt any resistance of her insides, anything that might be uncomfortable or hurtful to her, he just kept using his abilities to keep her turned on, keep her juices flowing, keep her wet and lubricated. Her curly auburn hair bounced with every thrust that he did, as did her tits, which he couldn’t see but he kept moving his hand up to feel. She felt absolutely incredible inside, just as he thought that she would. He wanted to stay inside of her forever and not let the night end, especially as she was moaning out ‘Syn’ and on one occasion, even his real name. Brian wasn’t a name that he thought would attract a lot of women so he never used it, going with the nickname instead, but damn if it didn’t sound sexy coming through her lips.

He fucked her good and hard, going until even he started to feel a bit tired out, and then she would pick up the slack. She would stop to lean forward and grind against his balls for the stimulation, until she came around his cock. He took it a bit easier on her at that time, feeling her walls tighten around him, hearing her screams as she went into a moment of ecstasy, then held her closely and securely as she finally orgasmed. Then, he went back to the pounding.

He forced her to lay back more, pull her legs up to her chest, feet up in the air, and held her down against his chest as he fucked her until he was about to cum. Since there was always a chance of breeding, even between species, he pulled out, and let it spill onto the top of her thighs, spurt after spurt, thick and creamy. He leaned back against the bed, arm thrown over his eyes to block out the light on the ceiling as he felt absolutely spent.

“Um-” Tessa said after a quiet moment. He peeked up at her, moving his arm over just one eye. “Syn?”

“Yes, dear?” He asked, arching an eyebrow.

“May I take a shower?” She motioned towards the bathroom door.

“Of course,” He smirked. “And then get your little ass back here. We’re going for another round in the morning, then I’m taking you out for breakfast.”

So Far Away / 2

Pairing- Yoongi x Named Reader

Word Count- 1.4k

Includes- N/A

Series Masterlist

Over the next two weeks I go to school everyday.

Because of her.

I started talking to her more and we're starting to be friends. I found out she's seventeen like me and she'll be eighteen in January, two months before me.

We talked a little about music after music class one day. We both play piano and she plays the guitar

"I started learning piano when I was five or six. I had to. I went to a private school in Gwangju and we had to learn an instrument. My parents picked piano."

"Your parents picked it for you?", I ask

"Yeah. But it worked out because I love piano. I know some kids hated piano lessons but I loved them. What about you?"

"My mom played piano. She taught me before she...uh..", I trail off

"I'm sorry Yoongi", she says, touching my arm and looking sincerely at me

"It's uh..ok...it happened a long time ago."

"It's nice you still play it though"

"Yeah"

I don't want to talk about this anymore. So I change the subject

"How'd you decide to play guitar?"

"Well by that time I was twelve and we moved to Seoul. There was this guy in my class, Kim, Seokjin and he played guitar. He moved away the next year. I don't know to where"

Kim, Seokjin? Jin? She knew Jin? That's crazy

"He's here. He's one of my friends.", I tell her

"Really? I was mesmerized by his playing and I decided it wanted to play it after watching him. My parents didn't want to pay for lessons though. So I threatened them"

"You threatened them?", I repeat. This girl is bad ass

"Yeah I told them I'd stop playing piano unless they agreed to getting me guitar lessons. They didn't believe me so I stopped playing for the two months it took for them to agree to the guitar. I took a gamble because I love piano. But it worked and I got what I wanted"

I chuckle a little. She sassy and I like that

"So you play classical? Is that what your parents picked?"

"Yeah I play classical but my favorite to play is rock music. I have like three electric guitars."

I'm surprised. I didn't peg her for a rock music fan. That's cool

"I learned the basics from the classical guitar lessons, and I just practiced electric guitar on my own."

Interesting. "How did you do that?", I ask

"I listened to my favorite music and I learned how to play the songs. I was able to find the sheet music for some of the songs and the ones that didn't have the sheet music, I learned by ear. I wanted to play like my favorite guitarists, so I practiced until I could play their songs flawlessly"

Wow she's dedicated. It's also amazing she can learn by ear. That's really hard to do. And I want to know who her favorite guitarists are, even though I know I won't know them.

"Who are the guitarists you like?", I ask

"Kirk Hammett from Metallica and Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold"

Yeah, no clue who they are

"You have no idea who they are do you?", she giggles, "I can tell by your face."

"Yeah no sorry."

"Well Avenged Sevenfold isn't well known but Metallic is the most known metal band."

"Yeah I haven't heard of them", I say

"Well rock music isn't as popular in Korea as it is elsewhere. The bands hardly ever come here.", she explains

"So you've never seen them before?"

I honestly don't remember any rock bands coming here. And I'm kinda known in the music scene here. Well the rap scene anyway

"No, I saw both and other bands too. Most of my family is still in New York, so I usually go there for the summer. Lots of bands play in the summer time so anytime my favorite bands were having a show in New York, I went."

I never been to New York. I've never been out of Korea

"Your lucky.", I say, "I've never been anywhere."

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok. So you got to see your favorites. That's amazing"

"Yeah. It's because of them I joined a band when I was 14."

"Really?"

That's so cool. Like how I rap like Namjoon

"Yeah. It was just me and my four friends. I was lead guitar and back up vocals."

"Did you ever play a show?", I ask very interested. I started going to rap shows at 13 and then participating when I was 14.

"Yeah. We participated in some shows for local bands. We just played one or two songs we made. We also played cover shows where we played a cover song of a band. It was fun"

"I wish I could of seen your band", I say

She pulls out her phone and goes through it, then shows me a picture.

"This is my band"

I looked at the pictures and I see five kids, dressed in black with chains and rips everywhere on their clothes. I looked but I can't find her.

"Uh which one is you?"

She looks at the pictures and points to herself. No way. I zoom in and the girl in the picture doesn't look anything like the Joanne in front of me

The girl in the picture has lime green hair and is wearing a ripped tank top, jeans with holes and chains and combat boots. Her arms are covered with bracelets. Her make up is bright green and matches her hair with a very dramatic winged liner. What throws me the most is all the piercings. She had lip rings on both side of her lip, an eyebrow ring and a septum nose piercing. I look at her and I now notice tiny marks on her bottom lip where the rings were.

"You looked so different. I couldn't even recognize you", I say

"Yeah well, I changed my look when we moved here."

"Why?"

She doesn't answer and looks uncomfortable. I get it and I don't want to make her uncomfortable.

"So do you have any videos of your band?"

"Yeah but not on this phone. It's on my computer at home. Do you want to see them? I can put them on my phone if you want."

"Yeah if its not too much trouble.", I answer

"Ok", she agrees

🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌

Even though we've been talking more, I still don't eat lunch with Joanne. But that doesn't stop me from staring at her. She still sits alone and reads while she eats. She seems comfortable being alone

"I think Yoongi is in love", Tae teases

My eyes snap from Joanne to him, "What?"

"I said you're in love. With Joanne", he repeats smirking

"No I'm not"

"Then how come you spend lunch staring at her everyday? And for that matter why are you here everyday? I don't remember the last time you've been in school for this long", Jimin asks

"I don't stare at her", I answer, ignoring the rest of his question

"Yeah you do."

"C'mon Yoongi it's not a big deal that you like her", Namjoon says

I stay silent. It is a big deal. Besides them I don't get close with anyone. I never wanted to. And I didn't want a girlfriend

I have way to much baggage for any girl to deal with. I don't want to fall for someone who'll just leave when things get hard. So I stay away from girls. There's just something about her that draws me to her.

"Look Yoongi, I know about your issues and fears of being with someone but maybe you should just try. She's the only girl I've ever seen you look at. Maybe she's the one for you. You don't want to miss that chance", Namjoon says, "You don't want to regret it"

"I...I don't know", I mumble

I don't know what to do. I'm scared. Because I realized that I do like her. A lot

"Maybe you should eat lunch with her.", Hobi suggests

"You guys would be ok with that?"

"Please Yoongi, we're not eight. If you want to eat lunch with someone else, we're not gonna cry about it. It's fine", Hobi rolls his eyes

"I don't...", I start

"Look, I'm not saying you should immediately ask her out. I'm saying you should get to know her more. Hang out with her, see if you really like her like that. And if, not then at least she'll already be your friend", Namjoon explains

"I guess", I mutter

"Ok"

For the rest of the lunch period that day, I keep catching myself staring at her. I think I'm going to do what Namjoon suggested. Joanne is an awesome person, so even if I decide I don't like her like that, she'll still be a cool friend to have.

It’s the summer of 2005, and you, and the other members of My Chemical Romance, are on Warped Tour. You start making friends with your tour-mates, Avenged Sevenfold. But, an unexpected comment from their guitarist, makes Mikey jealous. 

You were relaxing on your tour bus, reading the new issue of Fangoria, when you heard a knock at the door. You got up, wondering who it could be. 

“Hi,” greeted an unfamiliar, black-haired man, when you opened the door. “Is Mikey here?” 

“Sorry,” you shrugged. “He’s not around. I think he went over to Fall Out Boy’s bus, to hang out with Pete.” 

“That’s okay,” the man shrugged, brushing his bangs out of his eyes. “Oh, I guess I should introduce myself.” 

“Yeah, what’s your name?” you wondered. 

“I’m Zacky Vengeance,” the man smiled. “Ok….I’m actually Zacky Baker. But, you gotta admit, my stage name sounds cooler.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Vengeance,” you laughed. “I’m Y/N.” 

“You plays drums for My Chem, right?” Zacky guessed. 

“Yeah, that’s right,” you nodded. 

“I’m in Avenged Sevenfold,” Zacky explained. “I play guitar.” 

“Good to know,” you smiled. “Did you want me to tell Mikey, when I see him, that you stopped by?”

“I actually wanted to thank him,” Zacky confessed. “Our bassist, Johnny, broke one of his strings during soundcheck.” 

“Oh, that sucks,” you said sympathetically. 

“Yeah, and somehow, we couldn’t find our replacement strings anywhere!” Zacky frowned. “But, thankfully, Mikey let us borrow some of his.” 

“Oh, that was nice of him,” you replied. He really is a kind person, always going out of his way to help others. It was one of the things you liked most about him. 

“I wanted to give him this, as a thank you,” Zacky said, pulling a beer bottle out of his pants pocket. “Could you give it to him, for me?”

“Sure,” you shrugged, taking the bottle. “I’ll put it in the fridge for him, and let him know it’s there, when he comes back.” 

“Thanks, Y/N,” Zacky smiled. “It was nice meeting you.” 

“Yeah, you too, dude,” you replied. This was one of your favorite parts of Warped Tour - you always made new friends, with other bands. 

Now, you thought, back to reading about the new Romero movie.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You looked up from the page, when you heard the bus door open. 

“Hey, Y/N,” Mikey greeted, wiping sweat off his forehead. 

“Hey,” you smiled back. “Hot out there today?”

“Scorching,” Mikey laughed. “What’s up?” 

“Zacky from Avenged Sevenfold was here,” you explained. “He gave me a beer, to give to you. He said thanks for helping them out.” 

“Oh, sweet!” Mikey grinned. He went into the fridge, took out the beer, and twisted the cap open. “He got me my favorite kind, too!” 

“I wish we had our own supply, this year,” you confessed. 

“Well, Gerard’s trying to stay sober,” Mikey pointed out, taking a sip. “So, for his sake, we can’t really keep them on the bus, like we did last summer.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” you sighed. “I was being selfish.” 

“If you want one, I’ll try and find you some,” Mikey offered, having another swig. 

“Nah,” you declined. “It’s not like I need it that badly.” 

“Speaking of which,” Mikey wondered, “where is Gerard?”

Your vocalist had been staying on the bus, like a hermit, for most of the tour. It had to be boring for him. But, you supposed it was the best way, for him to avoid temptation. 

“Apparently there’s a comic book shop, not far from the venue,” you explained. 

“Oh, so, he went shopping?” Mikey realized, finishing his drink, and tossing the bottle into a trash bin. 

“Yeah,” you nodded. “I mean, we’re not going onstage, til like, eight o clock tonight, so he’s got plenty of time, to get there and back.” 

“That’s true,” Mikey reasoned. “It’s kinda crazy, isn’t it? How when Warped Tour started last summer, we were on at like, midday, because nobody knew who we were…”

“And then our time slot got moved!” you recalled. “Because suddenly, Revenge was like, the hottest album of the year.” 

“And now, this summer, we’re headlining,” Mikey said proudly. 

“We really have come a long way,” you agreed. 

“Since we have so much time on our hands,” Mikey suggested, “do you want to go check out Avenged Sevenfold’s set?” 

“Sure!” you agreed. “Do we need to take a couple security guys with us?” 

“Nah,” Mikey chuckled. “Just put your sunglasses on, and your hood up, and we’ll be fine.”

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You joined the crowd, just as the band was starting to take the stage. The vocalist, you noticed, was a buff-looking guy in a muscle tank, wearing a backwards baseball cap. He was almost the antithesis of Gerard’s pretty-boy aesthetic. 

“I’ve met him,” Mikey said, following your gaze. “He’s actually a pretty cool guy.” 

“What’s his name?” you wondered. 

“He calls himself M. Shadows,” Mikey replied. 

“Edgy,” you joked. 

“Maybe I’m the lame one, for using my real name,” Mikey considered. “I could have been, I dunno, Mikey Nightmare, or something.”

“I like your name,” you assured him, taking his hand. 

Mikey blushed. 

“WHAT’S UP, DENVER?!” M. Shadows screamed into the microphone. 

“....Is that where we are today?” you blinked. 

“I guess,” Mikey chuckled. “I’ll be honest, the cities start to blur together, after a while.”

“WHO WANTS TO HEAR A SONG OFF OUR NEW ALBUM?”, M. Shadows bellowed. 

The crowd cheered. 

“ALRIGHT!”,” the singer announced. “THIS SONG IS CALLED….BAT  COUNTRY!”

You banged your head to the beat, as Avenged Sevenfold launched into the song:

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay

I tried to drive all through the night

The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights

No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)

No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

After the set ended, you and Mikey showed your passes to their security guy, and walked backstage. 

“Dude, your show was amazing!” Mikey complimented. 

“Oh, hey, Mikey!” Zacky grinned. “Y/N, you came to watch, too?”

“Yeah,” you smiled. “He’s right, you guys really killed it up there today.”

“Thanks,” Zacky replied. “Oh, hey, let me introduce you to the rest of the guys!” 

“Sure!” you nodded. 

“This is my man, Synyster Gates,” Zacky introduced, indicating a man in a grey hat. “But, you can call him Syn.” 

“Hi, Syn,” you greeted. 

“Hey,” Syn waved. “Nice to meet you. I’m the other guitarist.” 

“He’s lead guitar, and I’m rhythm guitar,” Zacky explained. 

“Oh, so, basically, the same setup that Ray and Frank have,” you figured. 

“I feel like I need to meet this Frank guy sometime,” Zacky quipped. “People keep telling me I look like him.”

“You kinda do,” you confessed. You glanced over at the drummer, who was sitting down in a folding chair. “Does he have a heavy metal stage name, too?”

“I’m the Reverend Tholomew Plague,” the drummer grinned. “But, my friends call me Rev.” 

“Hi, Rev,” you chuckled. “I’m Y/N.” 

“Nice to meet you,” Rev replied. 

“I’m Johnny Christ,” said a third man, who sported a fauxhawk. “Hey, Mikey, thanks again for the assist earlier!” 

“No problem, dude,” Mikey said casually. “Where’d Shadows run off to?”

“He went to get drinks for everybody,” Zacky told him. “I’ll text him, and tell him to bring two extra, for you guys.” 

“Thanks,” you smiled. 

Just then, a summer breeze blew through the backstage area, sending Syn’s hat, flying off his head. 

“Shit!” Syn swore, watching his hat blow further away, back onto the main stage. “This is why I hate outdoor venues.” 

“I’ll go get that for you,” you offered. 

“Thanks,” Syn said gratefully. “Quick, before it blows over the barricade!” 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You ducked past the crew members, who were taking down Avenged Sevenfold’s banners, and preparing the stage for the next band. The Offspring, if you weren’t mistaken, were supposed to go on in an hour. 

A tech was taking down Rev’s drum kit, and setting up Atom Willard’s. You spotted the hat, next to the bass drum. 

“Excuse me,” you muttered. The drum tech got out of your way, and let you take the hat. 

“Oh my god!” you heard a fan gasp, who was still by the barricade. “That’s Y/N, from MCR!” 

You turned, looking at the gaggle of teenagers. They had probably stuck around, so they didn’t lose their front row seats. 

“Y/N!” a second fan called out. “Will you please sign my shirt?” 

“Sure,” you smiled. You leaned over the edge of the stage, taking a marker that was held out to you. You signed your name on the blushing teen’s band shirt. 

“Thank you so much!” he gasped. “I can’t wait to see you and the guys perform tonight!” 

“Thank you for coming to see us,” you replied. 

“Y/N, will you sign my ticket stub?” another fan pleaded. 

“Yeah, why not?” you acquiesced. You stayed by the barricade for a few moments, signing autographs, and posing for pictures. 

“Alright, guys,” you said finally. “I really do need to go give Synyster his hat back.” 

“Ok!” the fans said agreeably. “Thank you for taking time for us! Say hi to Gerard and Frankie for us when you see them!” 

“Will do,” you chuckled. The MCRmy were such nice kids. It made you feel special, to be loved by such a great group of people. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You were about to turn the corner, and re-enter the backstage area. But, you froze, when you heard your name. You realized, that the guys were talking about you. 

“So,” you heard Zacky ask, “is Y/N single?” 

“Uh….,” Mikey hesitated. “Yeah, as far as I know, she’s not seeing anyone.” 

“That’s surprising,” Syn commented. “She’s, like, really pretty.” 

“If I asked her out,” Zacky wondered, “do you think she’d say yes?” 

What?!, you stifled a gasp. Zacky was interested in you?

“No!” Mikey blurted out. “You definitely don’t want to do that!” 

“Why not?” you snapped, revealing herself. “You think I’d be a super annoying person to date?” 

“Y/N?” Mikey gasped, turning his head around, towards you. “How long have you been standing there?”

“Long enough,” you frowned. “Why are you warning people not to ask me out? Am I that unattractive, when I don’t have my stage makeup on?” 

“No!” Mikey said quickly. “Fuck, that’s not what I meant, either!” 

“Then, what did you mean?” you demanded. 

“I….,” Mikey trailed off, his whole face turning red. “I can’t tell you.” 

“Bullshit,” you barked. “Here’s your stupid hat, Syn.” 

You practically threw it at the guitarist, then turned, and began walking away. 

“Where are you going?” Mikey cried, following you. 

“Back to the bus!” you growled, walking faster. 

“Y/N, please, slow down!” Mikey begged, jogging to keep up with you. 

“No! Buzz off!” you told him. Your cheeks burned. 

Does he think I’d be a shitty, clingy girlfriend? you wondered. Why would he tell some complete stranger, that I’m not worth dating? I should’ve known...he’d never be interested in me. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You climbed back onto the bus, and immediately threw yourself into your bunk. You pulled the curtains around you, as if you were going to sleep. 

Mikey pulled the curtain back again, and sat beside you. 

“Can we please talk?” he implored you. 

“What is there to talk about?” you huffed. 

“Y/N, I’m sorry,” Mikey said gently. “Look...do you really want to date Zacky? If that’s what will make you happy….I’ll go back there, and I’ll tell him to shoot his shot. I can even give him your number.” 

“I don’t want to date Zacky,” you confessed. 

I want to date you, you stupid man. You wished you could tell him that, but you didn’t have the guts. But, that will never happen. 

“I didn’t tell Zacky, not to ask you out, because I think you’re annoying, or unattractive,” Mikey explained. 

“Then, why did you say it?” you demanded, wiping tears on your sleeve. 

“I said it because….,” Mikey hesitated. 

“Spit it out,” you insisted. 

“I said it, because I wanted to ask you out myself,” Mikey said finally. 

“Wh…..What?!”

“I’ve been trying to find the balls, to ask you out, all summer,” Mikey confessed, reddening. “But, I could never find the right time, or the words. I’m an idiot.”

“You’re not an idiot,” you said softly, moving closer to him. 

“I have no right, to tell you who to be with,” Mikey sighed. “Y/N, I hope I haven’t ruined our friendship, by telling you how I feel about you. I understand, if you aren’t interested in…”

“I’m interested,” you interrupted. 

“Huh?” Mikey’s eyes widened behind his glasses. 

“I’ve been interested in you for a long time,” you confessed. “I just didn’t have the balls to tell you, either.”

We’re both idiots. 

You leaned over, and lay your lips on his. He kissed you back, eagerly grabbing you, pulling you closer. You kissed him, again, and again. 

“....So,” Mikey gasped breathlessly, coming up for air, “does this mean you and I are dating now?”

“Now,” you grinned, grabbing him by the collar, “and forever.”

Imagine realizing you’re in love with Syn...

Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) x Reader

Warnings: None, really. Just a vague description of a beautiful man.

A/N: Here’s a fic for one of my obscure fandoms. Or, should I say, bandoms. I mean, come on, this is a band full of beautiful people...

My Full Master List

Brian was strumming his guitar, waiting for the production assistant to start the recording again. He was practicing his intricate riff for the song the band was currently working on. And, as always, you were there for moral support.

After all, your dad owned the whole freaking studio.

Brian wore his headphones over his ears, his fingers dancing nimbly along the neck of the instrument. He was so immensely talented. It was like watching a work of art in progress.

But, when he looked up and locked eyes with yours, your heart did something you didn’t remember it doing before. It pounded, threatening to burst through your ribcage. What the hell? You closed your eyes, then slowly opened again. But, Syn’s eyes were still staring back.

Was he always that handsome? Sure, he was funny, gifted, and almost too sweet for his own good. He was a shy, introverted goofball who came to life around this true friends. But handsome? As of right now, he was the most beautiful thing on Earth.

Brian’s lips finally moved, offering you a sweet smile. You returned the gesture, trying your hardest to hide the sudden urge to run in there and devour those lips with yours.

“Okay, Bri. You ready?” the production assistant asked. He never broke his gaze.

“Yeah, ready when you are.” 

You almost launched off your seat as Matt chuckled beside you. You totally forgot he was there. You turned to him, shaking your head as he gave you a look of concern, then peered back over at Brian. When your gaze met again, he winked, then glanced down at his guitar.

You gasped as your breath was sucked from your lungs. Damn, this man was going to be the death of you. But, you tried your best and hold your composure as Brian finished his last bit of recording for the day. And more importantly, you searched for the courage to admit just what kind of effect he had on you.

Imagine M “flirting” with Syn to make you “jealous”...

“Dude, c’mere,” Matt muttered over at your boyfriend, sporting a devilish grin. You watched the two friends, practically brothers, shared a momentary glance. What was M up to this time?

Brian just stared while Matt approached him. Honestly, the trust between them was almost impenetrable, and Brian didn’t really give a shit about what might happen anyway. So, he stepped closer.

M glanced back at you for a second, winked, then leaned in towards the other man. You giggled as you watched Matt lean in slowly, almost hesitantly, then tap a gentle kiss onto Syn��s cheek.

The room instantly erupted into laughter, yours being one of the loudest laughs in the room. M whipped back around to you and grinned.

“Jealous now, Y/N?” he snickered. You chuckled as Brian quickly shuffled over to you and slipped an arm around your waist.

“Matt, I came into this relationship knowing Bri was your boyfriend first.” The rest of the room laughed at your words. “But, I know he loves me more.” Oh, you knew those were fightin’ words.

“Oh, really now?” M cocked an eyebrow. “Well, who’s the better kisser, Bri?” Brian flicked his gaze towards you, then back to Matt.

“Definitely Y/N. Hands down.” Ooohs and laughter erupted once more, before Matt winked playfully at you again. Your friend was always up to no good.

“This ain’t over, Y/N. I’ll win him back.” You just rolled your eyes and turned to Syn, who planted a loving kiss into your lips.

Q+A: Crooked Royals

Firstly, where did the name ‘Crooked Royals’ come from? We get asked this a lot and unfortunately, it’s not very interesting we played around with a ton of really ‘meh’ names and finally came up with “Crooked Royals” as a hybrid name stolen from two specific bands. If any of you reading this can guess those two specific bands right, we’ll send you a picture of Christian dressed as a chicken.

How would you guys describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you before? Honestly, we don’t know, we’ve tried to put a label on it, I guess Metalcore is the boring answer? We’re just trying to make something using different inspirations from all waves of music that we like the sound of and hoping others might like it in metal form.

This is your guys second release, the first EP being ‘Intertwine’  - how do you feel that you guys have grown between the two EP’s? Working on the first EP felt like a fairytale especially with the story that surrounds it. But when we got back to New Zealand we felt like all of us needed to step up our game in every aspect in order for this fairytale to mean something. So, to answer the questions, we have grown in every possible direction. We’re more competent musicians, we’re better at creating a more dynamic sound, Lee even manages to make it to most practices now as well!

How did you guys all meet? Tinder…essentially. Conor, Jake and Lee all met via Nzbands and had a band going for a little while where they then met Christian and Keane (then Kindred Vice) through the local music scene and we’ve all hated each other ever since. A true 21st century romance.

Walk us through your typical song creating process - is it always similar? Or do you find it changes with each creation? It never ends the same, sometimes Lee and Christian write the lyrics together, sometimes one of them write all the lyrics, but a songs inception is always the same. We don’t hear from Jake for a couple of months and then suddenly, he drops a banger of a demo seemingly out of nowhere! We don’t know what he does (ie. How many children he sacrifices) but it works. Keane adds his drums and Connor lays a fat bassline down and there we have it, a beautiful car crash of sounds that we call a Crooked Royals song.

What’s one song off ‘Rumination’ that you guys are super proud of? Run us through what the song means to you guys? That’s tough because literally every one of us would name you a different track as individuals. But collectively I think we would all say we are super proud of the title track “Rumination”. It was the first song we ever wrote for [Rumination] and it was fresh off the emotions we felt from recording [Intertwine]. We were all inspired to try and do something different and experiment a bit with this new-found confidence we had as musicians. Every time we play the song at practice or live that emotion is still there.

What do you guys think the best thing about the local scene is? The comradery for sure, so many bands connect and hang out socially as well as playing gigs together and supporting each other, feels like one big family! Love you Morty xoxo

And what’s one thing you’d love to see change/improve? With the local scene? Nothing, everyone is fantastic! With the band? Honestly, we would like to see a change in gas prices so we can improve our ability to get out to more people around NZ!

If you could collaborate with any artist (dead or alive), who would it be? Again, that would be tough because every one of us as individuals would have a different Answer. Christian would probably say Atticus Ross. Conor would say Eddie Vedder-Pearl Jam. Jake would say Synyster Gates-A7X. Lee would say Tom Searle-Architects (RIP). And Keane would say Corey Taylor-Slipknot/Stone Sour.

If you could start one dumb rumor about the band - what would it be? Our drummer Keane is Zayne Malik’s metalhead brother.

Lastly, convince our readers in only 3 words to come check you out next time you’re playing in their town? Christians dadbod dancing

Quick Fire

The one song I wish I wrote is… Christian: Return to the Earth – Contortionist

Three things I can’t live without are… Jake: Guitar, guitar, guitar

Phones out, or phones away when watching a gig... Lee: Schrodinger’s Phones. A state at which phones are in and out simultaneously

If I held a world record it would be for… Keane: The amount of time insults and physical abuse is hurled at a human being. That person being our singer Christian.

My first memory of loving music is… Connor: Of course, discovering your first band you love that sends you into a Limewire frenzy is up there (if you don’t know, you are too young), but above everything probably the first time you have a jam with your mates. Thinking you are the shit covering your favorite songs. Keeping in mind you sound like dog shit because you just started playing but hey. You love it.

The song of mine that I am the proudest of is… Everyone: Rumination

One band I could listen to on repeat forever is… Christian: Lindsay Lohan’s band from the movie Freaky Friday. Pure inspiration.

The ideal environment for me to create music in is… Jake: Anywhere you want it to be. You don’t know where inspiration and the creative juices can hit you. It can be a quite space in your house, while you’re with the bros having a drink, on your couch while having on a cold rainy day with a cup of tea, a train station in India. You make your tunes anywhere you want.

If I could have any two bands open for me, they would be… Everyone: Veil Of Maya and Architects. To be fair no way in hell they would ever open for us, we would open for them. We just would love the chance to play a show with them.

Imagine Syn making you laugh…

Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) x Reader

Warnings: some very, very mildly suggestive language, that’s it.

A/N: Here’s a little fic for a fandom I don’t think really exists anymore. Well, if anything, I wrote it for me. :)

“Dude, Bri, you’re not looking very sexy with that face you’ve got going on there,” Matt teased from the seat beside you in the car. You heard him, but you weren’t paying much attention. Your diaphragm was going to collapse from the constant laughter you had endured over the last twenty minutes.

“Shut up, Matt. You’re just mad that you aren’t this funny,” Brian retorted, grinning back at you. “I call this one Blue Steel,” he drawled playfully, before contorting his face into what you could only be described as a fish face mixed with a baby about to cry. Matt was right, it wasn’t the most attractive face in the world, but it made you laugh harder than you could ever remember.

“Hey, dude, you’re going to make her shit her pants at this rate. Matt and I are the ones next to her, so for our sake, please let her breathe!” Johnny boomed from the seat on the other side of you. Zacky glanced up at you silently from the driver’s seat, making sure everything was actually okay, then peered back at the road.

Brian chuckled and sighed. “Fine, I guess she deserves to breathe every once in a while,” he groaned, offering you a wink.

“Bri, if you wink at her like that, she’s still not going to be able to breathe,” Johnny toyed with a smirk. Your smile dropped as you turned to the man beside you. He glanced back at you and paled, realizing exactly what he had hinted at.

You had been crushing on Brian for a while. And, while the two of you each took turns with a string of unsuccessful relationships, you had always kept an eye on him.

Well, for the last few months, the two of you had both been single, and every one of your friends had been desperately trying to shove you closer to each other. Matt and Johnny both knew how you felt about Bri, as did Zacky, but Johnny had the biggest mouth of them all.

And now that was finally coming to light.

Your eyes locked on Brian’s, taking in his expression. To your surprise, he only grinned. You rubbed your aching stomach as you waited for the awkward conversation to begin.

“I’m sure I don’t take her breath away as much as she takes mine,” he replied in a low, almost sultry voice before offering the sweetest, most handsome smile you had ever seen.

“Woah now, let’s save that kind of tone for when the rest of us are out of the car, lover boy,” Matt reprimanded while Johnny pretended to gag in disgust. You elbowed both of them, a whine shooting from each band member. Zack caught your gaze in the rearview mirror, huffing a laugh.

“Can we get back to the original conversation, please?” you pleaded, rolling your eyes. Brian shot you one more wink, then nodded.

“Oh yeah, what were we—Oh, right.” He pursed his lips again and crossed his eyes, instantly shooting you back into an insane fit of laughter.

Thanks for reading! <3
