(Y/N's POV)

i glance at will in disgust.

"you know you could've waited until you finished eating to respond."

will rolls his eyes at me and does a very dramatized swallow.

"there. you happy?"

"yes, yes i am." i nod as i speak, moving my leg to cross the other that was propped on the table, and folding my arms behind my head.

i turn my attention back to the tv. watching out of my peripheral vision as will looks around my lounge, his eyes landing on a record cover on the fireplaces mantle, just underneath the tv.

"what band is that?"

i smirk softly, "Tapestry Towers. a smaller indie band."

"really? you'll have to play me something by them."

"i'll do it now, i have a few of their songs on my spotify."

i pick my phone up from the coffee table, opening spotify and going to my bands page, clicking on our most recent release, "this body means nothing to me". 

will nods his head along to the song, listening to the lyrics in utter most detail. it wasn't a long song, no more than 2 minutes.

"well?"

will turns to face me, a smile evident on his face. "i liked it, pretty good band, i'll have to add that to one of my playlists eventually."

"you should. i know my- i mean the band members would like it." i sit rather still, silently hoping will hadn't caught my tiny slip up.

he didn't. my phone dings, myself having forgotten to silence my phone. will glances over to see the notification on my phone.

Spotify
User WilburSoot added your song "this body means nothing to me." to their playlist "#brocken"

"really? out of all the names for your playlist?"

will looks at me wide eyed. "ARE WE JUST GOING TO BRUSH OVER THE FACT THAT WAS YOUR BAND?"

"well that's what i planned on."

"NO?!"

"fine. yes i'm in a band, yes it's called Tapestry Towers, and yes, i am the lead singer."

"hold the fuck on. that was you singing?"

"indeed it was sir."

will moves his hand to cover his mouth, before speaking, it coming out slightly muffled. "Click on my name on that."

so i do, not entirely expecting to be led to a pretty popular music artist. i raise my eyebrow "so you also make music?"

"and occasionally stream on twitch, but that's besides the point. OH yeah i'm also in a band called Lovejoy." will says with a smile.

"y'know i think i've heard of that band, hold on." i quickly type the name into the search bar on spotify. showing i had infact liked 2 songs released by that band.
"yes, i have. pretty good music my guy."

"well thank you. but i don't do much, just sing and occasionally play the guitar."

"neat. i too sing and play the guitar. my band mates do the majority of the work."

"you'll have to let me come see you guys play some time."

"i think, if i'm not mistaken, we do have a small gig at the plaza in a month or so." i say, dropping my arms from behind my head.

"i require front row seats and a backstage pass to meet the band."

"well you're already friends with the lead singer, so i think that's doable."

"oh my god, i'm friends with the lead singer?! i gotta take this to twitter. have you revealed your face on the internet yet?"

"yes i have."

"good, now we are taking a mandatory selfie." will says as he wraps his arm around my shoulder, yanking me into his side and snapping the picture as i begin laughing.

"bro-"

"you have no say in the picture. bitch."

"i-okay."

"tag yourself please." will sing-songs, smiling innocently.

i almost perfectly recreate the face of the straight face emoji, snatching wills phone and very angrily tagging myself in the tweet, scanning over what he had typed and the picture, and clicking the tweet button.

WilburSoot:

@tommyinnit
BIG MAN? IS THIS WHY YOU ARENT ANSWERING DISCORD? FRIEND CHEATING ON US??

"this tommy guy seems a tad sarcastically upset."

will raises an eyebrow and takes back his phone, reading over tommy's response before laughing to himself.

"you up for talking to some of my streaming friends? i should probably call tommy back and listen to him bitch."

"... why the hell not?"
