QOTD- how has your day been?
________________________
I didn’t know it was the back of the stadium in my defence. I saw the big locked gates and a couple of tour buses but I didn’t expect anyone to come out and try and get my attention while I waited for my friend before we went into the stadium.
"Hey," I heard from behind me. A tall blonde with piercing eyes was reaching out to me through the gates.
"Hello?" I questioned, dubiously walking towards him. "I’m 90% sure you’re in the band that’s opening for the band I’m going to see."
"I am, hey, I’m Luke, nice to meet you, don’t suppose you can do me a favour?"
"Sure?"
"What’s your name?"
"Y/N?"
"You sound very uncertain, Y/N."
"Because a boy from a band I’m about to see is asking me a favour."
"Okay, you see that fancy dress shop over there? I need you to go get me a funny hat of some sort, maybe two or three if you can find any interesting ones. Then,"
"That sounds like two favours to me." I raised an eyebrow - who said I couldn’t flirt with Luke from 5 Seconds of Summer?
"Maybe it is, I’ll owe you two, but please can you go to the subway just down the street and order these subs for us? I have a list." He held out a bit of paper to me.
"What if I’m late for the show?"
"I’ll make sure you get in. In fact, have a couple of backstage passes." He handed me two lanyards with an official looking backstage pass.
"Why?"
"Because you’re beautiful and I’d like to talk to you some more, Y/N." He smirked.
"Okay." I agreed, taking the list.
"If I’m not here when you get back, Henry will let you in the back way and escort you to your seat. And he’ll keep an eye out for your friend.” Luke promised, pointing at a security guard who nodded at me. I nodded in agreement; Luke smiled excitedly as I ran across the road into the fancy dress shop, finding silly hats with ease. I paid them and rushed to subway because hello - it was a One Direction concert I didn’t want to miss it.
I got back to the back gate about half an hour after I’d left with nine subway orders, four silly hats and no money for merch. Ellie was not happy when I arrived back so late but Henry escorted us through the back (dropping the purchases off with Luke and getting a really big hug plus smiles from all of 5 Seconds of Summer and a good glance at One Direction!) out from the side of the stage and to two fold out chairs the had been placed on the end of the aisle between two blocks on the front row and told us to wear our backstage passes so he could collect us later.
This was so much better than the second tier seats I’d bought on eBay.
Ellie turned to me and thanked me for waiting at that precise place at that precise time and all the benefits it had brought us.
We chatted avidly whilst other girls eyed us up in confusion until 5 Seconds of Summer came on. Luke spent half the gig winking and glancing at me and when he reached out to touch a load of screaming girls hands he leant down to kiss mine and I blushed furiously (so glad that Ellie happened to be filming at the time). Even when they were just chatting, Calum and Ashton teased him about picking the prettiest girl from the audience and not even that subtly glancing at me. I don’t know what he’d said about me in the half hour I took to buy his stuff but I really hope he wasn’t taking the piss out of me.
