Emerson's pov

The cool night air surrounded my shivering body as I smoked my cigarette. Light smoke streams escaped my lips as I exhaled, standing against the back wall of my apartment building. A small yellow light hung above my head, illuminating the spot where I stood.

Quiet footsteps came from beside me. I gazed over to see a girl I had never seen before. With just one look, I felt completely entranced by her presence. Who is she?

"Uhm, hi," I greeted as she passed. That was so lame...

"Hi," Her pretty gaze met mine as she walked, causing me to become increasingly nervous. Why am I so nervous? I can't be nervous... since when am I nervous?

"Wait," She turned around, no longer walking, "Uhm... wanna... wanna smoke?" With a curious look, she stepped towards me.

"Now why would I take a cigarette from a stranger?" I shrugged as my nerves slowly faded.

"Why not?" I pulled the pack out, offering her one.

"You've got only one left."

"You can have it." She gazed at the box, then at me.

"Fine," Her pretty fingers grabbed the small stick and stuck it between her lips, "What's your name?And pronouns?" She asked, fiddling through her pockets. I offered her my lighter, she took it and lit her cigarette.

"Emerson, he him, you?" She inhaled the smoke.

"Y/n, she they," A small stream of smoke escaped her lips.

"Y/n, that's really pretty." They're really pretty...

"Thanks..."

"So, Y/n, what're you doing out here at," I checked my watch, "Midnight..."

"Went out to have some fun. Got bored," I hummed, "You?"

"Just needed a smoke."

"In the middle of the night?"

"I've had a long day," She nodded, letting out a smoke circle, "Do you live around here? I've just... I've never seen you before."

"Yeah, I got an apartment up that way," They pointed towards the direction she had been walking in, "I like, just moved in a few weeks ago."

"Cool, I live just up there." I pointed up to the apartments over head.

They hummed, taking one last drag of the cigarette before flicking it to the pavement, and rubbing it into the ground with her shoe.

"I should get going, it's been nice talking to you."

"Yeah," They began walking away, when I stopped her, "Wait!" They turned back, "Will I ever see you again?"

"Maybe," A small smile appeared on her lips, "I'll see ya around, Emerson."

"Bye, Y/n..." With that, they had disappeared into the darkness of night. Damn... I'm already falling...

Time skip to a few weeks later

Y/n and I cuddled together on my little couch, enjoying the silence. Suddenly, she pulled away from me.

"What're you doing?" I asked.

"I gotta go..."

"Go? Where?" They shook her head, not wanting to answer.

"It's not important." They stood up from the couch, grabbing her coat.

"Wait, please don't go."

"Emerson, I have to go."

"My sweetness, where do you go?" I asked, taking their hands, and keeping my eyes on her's. They tore away from me, running out the door. Shit... I've done something wrong... what's wrong with me?

I sat back down, my head in hands, upset. I hate it when they're gone... my love... I've never been so in love with someone... where does she go that's so important? Oh! What if I followed them? That may be creepy... but...

Another time skip ah

"You're so cute, Emmy." Y/n cooed, kissing me. Their kisses give me life...

"You are too my love." She turned a light shade of pink before cuddling into me. My fingers carefully braided through their hair. Y/n... I love you so... Y/n... wait... do I not know her last name? How could this be?

"Hey Y/n?" They hummed.

"I've just realized I don't know your last name," Her body stiffened slightly, "What is it?"

"Uhm, I have to go!" Just like yesterday, they jumped up from my grasp. Frantically, she grabbed their jacket.

"Y/n, my sweetness, please don't go..." I sadly spoke, "I'm sorry, if you don't wanna tell me, it's okay."

"No, I still have to go." With that, she was out the door. They never stay long...

Quickly, I got off the couch and grabbed my own jacket. I followed them out the door, keeping a distance as she walked down the sidewalk. Where are they going? I thought her apartment was that way...

They then got in a cab, I did the same.

"Follow that car!" I cried to the driver. Damn... I've always wanted to say that...

"Yessir..." The man did as told. Wait... this is the nicer neighborhoods... why're we here?

"Here we are..." He parked directly behind her cab as I eyed the humongous mansion beside us. Holy shit...

"Emerson!?" She had spotted me, then came over to my taxi, "What the hell are you doing here!?" They angrily cried.

"I-... uhm..." I handed the guy some money before getting out, "I was worried, okay!? You're always leaving me without saying anything about where it is. It freaks me out."

"So you followed me!? Who the hell does that!?"

"Look, I'm sorry! Yeah, I followed you, but..." I love you and only want to be with you...

"But what!?"

"I... uhm..." Then, the gates to the home opened, and who do I see walk out? Billie Joe Armstrong.

"Y/n, what's going on out here?"

"Nothing dad, you can go back inside." Dad!?

"Holy shit, you're Billie Joe Armstrong! You're like, one of the sickest guys in the punk community. You're a fuckin' legend! Y/n! Look! It's Billie Joe Armstrong! Wow!"

"Yes I know, he's my dad."

"Uhm, who is this?" He asked.

"My boyfriend, Emerson."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out, I took it. My jaw dropped.

"Y/n, Billie Joe Armstrong is shaking my hand!"

"I know, I'm right here."

"Wow..." He pulled his hand away, "Is this where you go?" They sighed, but nodded, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Cause I didn't want you to freak out, or anything..."

"I'm gonna go back inside." And I watched as Billie Joe Armstrong walked back inside of his home in awe.

"Why would I freak out?"

"Dude, you're freaking out right now."

"No I'm not," She took my hands and watched as they shook, "Okay, yes I'm freaking out. But who wouldn't!?" They dropped my hands.

"Will you stop freaking out if I go home with you?" I nodded.

"Yes..."

"Good..." I intertwined my fingers with her's. My eyes kept to their eyes, even if her's were on the pavement.

"So uhm, wanna get a taxi?" I nodded, entranced by their beauty, "Quit looking at me like that."

I tore my gaze away, then began waving down a cab. Eventually, one gave us a lift and we were back at my apartment. The outside world had become almost completely dark as we walked inside.

As soon as the door was shut behind us, I pressed my lips to her's, unable to stop myself. They giggled beneath my lips. My fingers ran through her hair as their's did the same with mine.

"C'mon..." I whispered, taking her hands, and bringing them into the bedroom, and onto my bed. Our kisses only became more and more rough throughout the night. Eventually, I pulled away.

"Wait, Y/n, I need... I need to say something." She gazed at me, curiously, and brought their body away from mine.

"What is it?" She looked so worried.

"I uhm..." My eyes were focused solely on their's, "Ever since I met you, you've been on my mind. That night that we met, I was so entranced by your presence, I was sure I was already in love. Y/n, I love you. I love being with you. You just, I dunno what it is, but I love everything about you. I need you in my life."

"I love you too Emmy," Her fingers twirled around in my hair, "And well, I felt the same. That night, I fell for you the moment you offered me your last cigarette." I chuckled, then passionately kissed them. My eyes then fell to her clothes.

"May I?" They nodded.

Time skip to morning

When I awoke, Y/n was cuddled into my bare chest with just her undergarments on. They're so cute...

Then, they shifted a bit. I shut my eyes, trying to get in one more second of sleep as I assumed she would. Before I knew it, the space between my chest and arms had become cold as they left the bed. Where did she go? My sweetness...

My question was soon answered with the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing. Oh I see...

I just rolled over, getting more comfortable. After about a minute, she was back in the bedroom.

"Emmy?" They whispered.

"Sweetness?" She smiled from the name as I gazed at them, "Aww, so cute..." I sat up as she stood in her underwear. They rolled her eyes.

"You're cute too!" She exclaimed, then began dancing around the room, in her underwear, looking at me like they just don't really care.

"I love you madly..." I spoke, getting out of bed. She giggled as I took her hands, and danced along with them in just my boxer shorts.

"I love you too babe."
