You couldn't help but stare at the outrageous guy sitting next to you, who just happened to be Arthur Kirkland, someone you had a crush on. He was dressed in baggy clothes and he had a few piercings, the most noticeable were the ones on his eyebrows and lip. Music was pouring out of his headphones and he was moving his head in time with the music, eyes shut. You couldn't help but stare … he was gorgeous. Messy blonde hair, emerald green eyes and a very alluring British accent … in your mind, he was absolutely perfect, apart from the attitude he had with the teachers when they told him to turn his music down. He usually stuck his tongue out at them, gave them "the finger" or just grumbled under his breath and turned his music up. You looked down at your text book. You hadn't written a thing throughout the lesson, because you had been staring at the punk next to you the entire time. You let out a sigh and looked at Arthur again to see that he was now looking at you. He looked a little shocked when your eyes met his and he looked away. You could have sworn you saw a little pink on his cheeks. Then, to your surprise he began to sing along to the song he was listening to
"I'm falling in the black, slipping through the cracks. Falling to the depths can I ever go back? Dreaming of the way it used to be. Can you hear me?" He sang quietly
You went dark red. He had an amazing voice … but you found it weird that he was singing that, as it wasn't punk music
"Mr Kirkland, would you please turn that racket down?" The teacher shouted
"It's a free country" He said, closing his eyes and sighing
The teacher came over and pulled the headphones out of his ears and confiscated his iPod. For the rest of the lesson, he drummed his fingers on the desk and doodled on his textbook. Just as you went to get back to your own work, you felt something go into the palm of your hand. You looked and saw that there was a note there. You quickly hid it under the desk and began to read it
Meet me by the lockers at lunch … come alone
You looked up at Arthur, who was looking at you. He gave a small nod and you hid the paper in your pocket. After that, the day seemed to pass by unbelievably slowly, as if it were trying to keep you from meeting Arthur on purpose. Eventually, lunch did come and you hurried to the lockers to find Arthur leaning against yours, which made you blush a little. He looked at you as you approached, fidgeting
"H-hi" You squeaked
You had only spoken to him a few times and each time he seemed like a genuinely nice person underneath that attitude
"I noticed you were staring at me earlier. Why is that?" He asked
You looked down and your face went scarlet. You tried to speak, but no words would come … you tried to think, but no thoughts surfaced … you tried to move, but your body remained frozen. You were like a rabbit caught in headlights. He raised an eyebrow
"Hey, are you ok? You look ill" He said
"N-no, I'm fine" You breathed
He shrugged and turned so he was facing you properly
"Hey, I was planning on going to a concert but a friend cancelled on me. You want to come with?" He asked
Your heart did a backflip. Arthur was asking you out! He handed you a ticket and your breath stilled
"My Favourite Band?!" You squeaked
He grinned
"I knew you'd like it. So, you want to come with me?" He asked
"Y-yes! I'd love to!" You squealed
He smiled at you and sighed
"I'm gonna go get my iPod back … I'll see you some other time, alright?" He said
"O-Of course!" You breathed
You couldn't believe it. He was the bad boy all the girls at your school wanted, but he had just asked you, plain old __________ ___________, to go to a concert with him … and it was your favourite band! You couldn't help but stare at Arthur, who gave you a little thumb up as he walked away
"O-Oh my gosh!" You breathed "Arthur Kirkland asked me out!" You squeaked
You put the ticket away, not wanting to lose it and hurried to your next class, bright red. You never thought Arthur had a similar music taste to you … and you hoped that this wasn't some horrible prank

After the concert, Arthur offered to take you back to his house. Luckily, it was the weekend so there wasn't the worry about school, but you had no spare clothes with you. When you voiced this concern, Arthur shrugged
"Then is it ok if I crash at your place for the night?" He asked
Your heart almost stopped
"Yes, of course, b-but won't your Mother be worried?" You asked
He looked hurt when you said that. He took a deep breath and sighed sadly
"My parents died when I was young. M-My brothers look after me" He said, hanging his head
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" You said, horrified
"I-it's ok. It's not all bad, I guess … Allistor is an arse, but at the end of the day, he's my brother, and I care about him" He said
You smiled. It was rare to see this soft side to Arthur … and he looked more comfortable being nice than mean. You went to touch his hand and, to your surprise, he took hold of it and squeezed lightly. A rosy pink arose on your cheeks. When you reached your front door, you fumbled with the keys as you let yourself in. It was about 3am, so you didn't want to wake your parents, who had to work the following day. You turned on the lights
"I'll get some water" You said in a hushed tone
You turned around and saw that he was gone. Confused, you closed the door behind you and hurried to the living room where Arthur was inspecting the room with interest, nodding and smirking
"Nice" He said, looking at you "You have a nice home, ____________"
"Th-thank you" You said, blushing
"I hope you don't mind if I crash here" He said, sitting on the sofa
"N-not at all" You said, sitting next to him
Silence fell and you sighed happily
"Thank you … for asking me to go" You said
"I … told a lie" He said
"What?"
"I said a friend cancelled on me. B-but they didn't"
"Huh?"
"I don't have any friends … and I r-really liked you. So I asked you out" He said
You couldn't help but giggle a little. Someone who was supposed to be a bad boy and tough as nails was being shy. It was so cute, yet so weird at the same time
"Do I amuse you?" He asked
"No, I just think it's cute" You replied
He smiled a little and you gave him a little kiss on the cheek
"What was that for?" He asked
"It's my way of saying thank you for taking me to the concert. By the way, how did you know I liked that band?" You asked
He looked embarrassed
"I … I asked your American friend, then he teased me about the way I dress" He said, frowning
You laughed a little and, before long, the two of you fell asleep on the sofa, only to be wakened by your angry mother in the morning because you had left the light on all night. After the scolding, you noticed that Arthur was gone, and you found a scrunched up piece of paper in your pocket. When you opened it, there was a guitar pick inside and the note read
To _________,
Sorry I couldn't stick around. Your mum told me off for staying over and I didn't want you to get into any more trouble. I hope you like the guitar pick I gave you; it was my favourite, so look after it. I hope we get to do this again soon
Love, Arthur xxx

"I hope so too" You mumbled, blushing
