(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Someone is all dressed up!" Lindsay and Beth squeal out as I come out of the bathroom wearing a simple green dress with my hair loose. I chuckle nervously as they start bombarding me with questions.

"Don't you two have a movie date?" The girls gasp in realisation and scurry off, leaving me to let out a sigh in relief. I walk out of the trailer, waiting for Duncan when I see him running from the distance. "What's got you all worked up?" I chuckle as he pants for air.

"Just needed to get some things ready-whoa." 

"What?" Is there something wrong?" Duncan shakes his head, holding my hands and looking at me in awe.

"You're beautiful..." My cheeks flare red as he brushes my hair back to look at me properly.

"Thank you love." I smile at him and Duncan breaks out of his trance.

"The date!" He grabs my hand and runs off with me to Chris' trailer where his cart was golf parked.

"This brings back memories." I grin as we both get in the cart and Duncan quickly drives off. I enjoy the cold night air and the quiet serenity of it as Duncan drove us to wherever he had the date planned. We start veering further away from the film lot to more open fields, leaving behind civilisation as we arrived on top of a hill with a single tree.

I was surprised to see the tree decorated with warm fairy lights, hanging bulbs drooping from the branches above the blanket that rested on the grass with a picnic basket and wine. "I never knew you were a hardcore romantic."

"Is it too cheesy?" Duncan worries as I got out of the cart to walk to the tree, mesmerised and also touched at how much effort he put into this.

"Yes but I absolutely love it. I can't believe you did all this for me." my heart jumps as I feel Duncan hug me from behind, kissing my shoulder.

"You know I would do anything for you."

"Am I turning the bad boy soft?"

"Only for you." I snort at the cheesiness as we both sit down on the blanket, drinking my favourite wine and snacks that Duncan personally stole for me. When I settle in Duncan's arms against his chest as he rested back against the tree, that was when I noticed that he started playing a song.

"Take it if she gives you her heart, don't you break it. Let your arms be a place she feels safe in. She's the best thing that you'll ever have."

I smile into his neck as he held me close, whispering thank you's to him as I turned to watch the stars twinkle and shine in the night sky. 

"She always has trouble falling asleep, and she likes to cuddle while under the sheets. She loves Pop songs and dancing, and bad trash TV. There's still a few other things."

I get up from Duncan's hold and I give him my hand. He looks at it with a small smile before grabbing it and I pull him up to his feet. I pull him out further from the tree so we were under the stars, stepping closer to him so I could wrap my arms around his neck.

"Has a hard time accepting a good compliment. She loves her whole family and all of her friends."

Duncan wraps his arms around my waist as I lay my head on his chest, us swaying side by side to the song. I feel him rest his head on top of mine, leaving a few kisses in my hair.

"Take it if she gives you her heart, don't you break it. Let your arms be a place she feels safe in. She's the best thing that you'll ever have. She'll love you if you love her."

I lean back and Duncan leans his forehead on mine, holding me closer and I feel a torrid of emotions wash over me at the moment. I could feel my heart race as he leans closer to press his lips against mine, kissing me so softly as he held my cheek.

"Kiss her with passion as much as you can. Run your hands through her hair whenever she's sad and when she doesn't notice how pretty she is, tell her over and over so she never forgets."

"I love you (y/n)." Duncan whispers against my lips and I tear up. "I am in love with you." I look up at him to see absolute adoration and love for me in his eyes as he wiped my tears away.

"I'm in love with you too Duncan." I brush my fingers against his cheeks as he leans into my touch, kissing my palm. "I'll always love you-" I blink in surprise when I feel something drop on my head, followed by more droplets and I look up to see that the clouds had rolled in to start raining. 

I let out a gasp when we suddenly get drenched from the heavy downpour, Duncan looking absolutely furious that the date was ruined but I just laugh out in joy. I take a step back and raise my hands to catch the following droplets, spinning around from the happiness I just felt at the moment. 

"On days when it feels like the whole world might cave in, stand side by side and you'll make it."

I thread my fingers through my hair, leaning my head up to face the clouds when I suddenly get pulled back into Duncan's chest and he kisses me again. I lean up to kiss him deeper, pulling him closer as I thread my fingers through his hair as he held my face in his. He kisses me so passionately and so lovingly that my head spins, panting lightly in his hold as he slowly lets me go.

"She's the best thing that you'll ever have. She'll love you if you love her like that."

"Ooh your face, ooh in my glance, oooh it's you and meee~"

"WHO THE FUCK!? IS SINGING LIKE CATS FUCKING SCREECHING THIS EARLY IN THE GODDAMN MORNING!?" I scream out, Harold and Duncan both jumping in fright and rolling out of their beds.

"Oh no..." Duncan quickly scrambles away and Harold just freezes in fear as I get up from bed, seething that this person didn't stop singing.

"Hide!" I ignore them, stomping out of the trailer and slamming the door open to see Lindsay singing.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I FUCKING MAKE YOU!" She squeals in fright, quickly shutting her mouth and hiding in the girl's trailer. "That's much better-"

"-Morning (y/n)-hey!" I grab Harold by the throat and throw him at Chris but he dodges. Harold screams as Chef manages to quickly catch him, setting him down.

"(y/n) is pissed." Harold whispers to Chris.

"I can see that... Chef, hit it."

"Are you sure?" he gulps as I glare at him.

"Yes...?" Chef shrugs and starts playing the drums which I had to admit was amazing. "Today's movie genre is the rock-and-roll biopic." I can see Duncan fist pump the air in excitement and at this point, I was too. 

Excited to smash some stuff.

Chris goes through explaining the basics of a rockstar which ultimately will be the challenges for today I'm guessing; how they need to be able to shred on a guitar and scream songs, trash hotel rooms and pose for the paparazzi. "Any questions?"

"Um, why is Owen eating my popcorn?" I look over and low and behold the great food disposer has returned.

"Hey everybody!" Everyone was surprised, to say the least, but I knew him coming back had something to do with Chris wanting to spice up the show a bit. Chris complained about Owen ruining the announcement and goes off to hide for Chris to do it all over again but it gets ruined again.

"Hi Owen." I give him a hi-five as he greets everyone and Chris just stands there all fed up.

"Alright people, time for your first big gig. Meet me at the big stadium in 10 minutes! You can't miss it!" I sigh out quickly go get dressed and freshen up before meeting up with the others and start walking to find the stadium.

"Where did Chris say the stadium was again?" Beth asks and I shrug.

"You still mad?" I raise a brow at Duncan for his question.

My guy really asked that?

"Not anymore. I'm just hungry."

"Here!" Owen hands me a sandwich and I smile at him.

"Thanks Owen!" He just giggles and skips away as I ate the sandwich and just followed the group, reaching the theatre where the voting normally happens.

"I said 10 minutes! Not 10 hours!"

"You also said to meet you at the big stadium and this is the dumpy gilded Chris Awards Theatre!" Duncan exclaims but Chris says it was all part of becoming a rockstar, being late to their own shows. 

"What's with all the eating!?" Owen and I get caught red-handed and I shovel the rest of the sandwich in my mouth.

"I'm not eating anything." My voice muffles as I cover my mouth with my hand, still chewing.

"For your first challenge, you're gonna be rocking out on the guitar while also singing songs!" Chris hands us all a guitar without strings but buttons on them, explaining how this will be like the Guitar Hero game but with electrocution. The only twist is, that we all will be singing rock cover versions of songs that fall under the artist's name that will be chosen at random on the screen above us while rocking out on the guitar.

"Wait so how does this work?" I ask, slightly confused as I place the guitar lanyard around my shoulders.

"You all will be competing against each other while shredding and singing. An artists name will pop up on screen and you have to yell out a rock cover of a song that belongs to that chosen artist. There is a spotlight where it will randomly choose two people to sing and battle against each other."

"So in any case, whoever belts out a song first has the advantage over the others because they know a song the others might not?" I clarify and Chris nods.

"And rock on!" I was focusing on pressing the right buttons, mainly missing a ton of them since I didn't want to get electrocuted. I was getting frustrated as the button smashing increased in speed and I struggled to keep up.

The cast battled it out against each other every time a new artists name popped up. I was lucky enough that the spotlight hasn't dropped on me yet but it wasn't for long till I was. Harold immediately got dropped since the dude literally set his guitar on fire and then Owen was next as he fell off the stage. Beth was next to get dropped as her guitar explodes and Chris just disqualified Lindsay since she wasn't even playing.

"You're really gonna pin us together?" I look over at Duncan as he was barely playing, Chris just chuckling.

"Duh! And it looks like your next artist is up!" I look up and see that it was Lady Gaga?

What rock cover is there for-

"Bad Romance covered by Halestorm!" Duncan yells out and I gasp as the song starts playing.

"I knew you listened to it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, story time. I found this cover right and I really liked it so of course, I wanted Duncan to listen to it. He listened to a full 30 seconds and was like 'cool'." I imitate Duncan mockingly as I complained to the camera.

"Then after that, I thought I was imagining him humming to it and low and behold, the dude actually listens to the song!"
