Modern AU

The chaos in dimmed lights. People chatting. You were alone, not even sipping your drink. This stunk. It was Friday night and you already tuned out the music.

"Looking for someone." A stranger asked next to you. You didn't realize you were looking around.

"The Lonely Heart's Club Band." You said. He smiled. It was an old reference to Beatles you had heard countless times, playing on an actual record table. You had seen that smile somewhere else.

"I'm John." It hit you like a brick. John Lennon.

"Y/N." You smiled. He held out his hand, you took it, thankful that someone offered to be your friend.

You set down your favourite drink and walked with him out. The night air was cool against your skin. His mischievous brown eyes shining. The scene was perfect. And he was all yours for the night. You walked to the gates of Strawberry Fields, humming the familiar tune that accompanied it, and stopped. It had been closed down for awhile. You peeked through the gates, sighing.

"I know." John said. "Let's go somewhere new."

You laced your fingers with his again and started walking around Liverpool. "When I was growing up, this place was dingy. Now look at it. Beautiful."

You strode down Penny Lane, the street lamps shining on the pavement, was all the light you needed. Your phone buzzed.

Ami: where the fuck are you?

You read it. Not going to answer. You sat down on a bench, the ones pigeon feeder's use. John placed a hand on your knee and squeezed lightly. His bright smile shined.

"Ya know, I would rather be here with you, that anywhere. Thank you, John." You leaned your head on his shoulder.

"I would too."

John walked you back to your own house. "Till we meet again." He waved.

"Same to you." You saw a very slim chance you were going to see his again. Maybe he was dead. An angel of some sorts. You smiled, his brown eyes sparkled in the moonlight. You smiled. He floated away as you turned you back.

"Good night, Y/N."

You chuckled. "Good night, John."

Sgt. Pepper's in 50 effing years old. Wow. See ya. TTFN.
