A Josh Dun Romance (Josh Dun x Reader)

Introduction: Part 1

1 YEAR BEFORE MEETING JOSH DUN: 

I've always tried to plan out my life. My plan was to have have a serious boyfriend at 26, marry at 28, and have kids at 30. That's how things were supposed to go and that's how things were going. But when your boyfriend you were supposed to marry, dumps you 1 year before your wedding it ruins your plans. 

I guess it was my fault really. I wanted to plan our wedding as soon as he proposed. When I brought out my planners and all of my list of possible honey moon locations, my newly ex finance, Cameron seemed a bit freaked out. I thought we were in a relationship long enough where I don't seem weird to share these things but I guess he thought it was weird. That was when he told me that he was a "free spirit" and that he "can't be tied down." Now I thought I knew a "free spirit" when I saw one and this dude wasn't it. He worked in a office supply store and his favorite color was beige. After that he awkwardly asked for the engagement ring back and I reluctantly gave it to him. It took me a full 3 days to realize that he seriously broke up with me because I had tried to plan our wedding  too quickly. So I guess that was my mistake. He had zero taste in music anyways. He only listened to the top radio stations in our area that played generic pop music by artists that made heartless songs. I thought he was perfect. Now I know not to trust a perfect person thanks to twenty one pilots. 

He even thought that twenty one pilots was "annoying" but "Stressed Out", "Ride" and "Heathens" were what he called "bangers" I can't stand it when people trash twenty one pilots yet they only like the songs that were put on the radio. I held onto him though because I wanted my life plan to work. I guess things don't really work the way they're supposed to.

6 MONTHS BEFORE MEETING JOSH DUN:

"Come on! It'll be fun! Twenty one pilots play the best shows and it will probably change your life!" Lydia said. Lydia has been friends with me ever since I moved to a new school for my senior year of high school. She was my first friend at my new school. She's been there through all my highs and all my lows. Especially my lows lately. She's been trying to get me to go out more since my break up with Cameron. A twenty one pilots concert is her way of getting me out.

"Look, I like twenty one pilots a lot, but I don't think I could go to a concert right now. And I'm sure this one is not gonna 'change my life'. I could go another time." I say, as I shove some chips in my mouth. I'm slid down on my couch right now, in a stained t-shirt, watching Stranger Things on Netflix. I could feel crumbs cascading down the sides of my mouth from the chips. Some call it sad, I call comfortable.

"Nah, you're going. I already bought the tickets and we're gonna be in the pit. So you'll be surrounded by as many people possible."

I stop chewing mid-crunch and slowly turn to Lydia. 

I say, "Okay so, you give me a choice, I say no, and now I have no choice. What is wrong with you?"

"It's just a concert. The only thing I'm making you do is have fun." she says.

"Whatever. You're lucky I value money, so I'll go to not waste some good tickets." I say.

Lydia giggles, "I promise, you won't regret going." She smiles and plops on the seat next to me, beaming  the whole time we watch the show.

1 MONTH BEFORE MEETING JOSH DUN:

I don't think it truly hits me yet that I'm going to have to be around people in about a month at the concert. I feel way too calm about it. I'm over here about to get ready for work and as I brush my teeth I just think, I'm going to be surrounded by people in 1 month at a concert. I might have to talk and interact with people I don't know. And I'm not even worried about it. Yet...

I could handle people, it's just big crowds I don't like. And this concert is probably the biggest crowd I'm going to be around. People can scare me. One thing you do is judged even if you know it doesn't show who you are. I care what people think too much and I don't know why. I'm not freaking out now, but I know it'll come closer to the date of the concert.

1 WEEK BEFORE MEETING JOSH DUN:

I'm on my couch again, looking mindlessly at the TV screen in front of me. I don't even pay attention to what I'm watching. Sometimes I sit at the TV and I just think. I imagine myself in certain situations at the concert. I keep the TV on for noise and company. The cheery voices that blare form the TV, even though I know it's just sound and pictures, make me feel like I'm not so lonely. Just then Lydia barges into my apartment without warning. I look up at her as she stands on my right side near the couch, staring at me with an, all too happy, smile on her face. 

"Are you gonna say something?" I ask. She nods while still smiling and lets out an abrupt, ear piercing scream. I cover my ears with my hands in shock for the remainder of the time she screams. 

"WE'RE GONNA MEET THEM!" she screams excitedly while jumping up and down.

"Who? Josh and Tyler? How?" I ask. I don't get excited yet because I'm still skeptical of if she really got passes to meet them.

Lydia rapidly says, "YES! I entered a contest on the radio and I was the lucky 93rd caller and I won us a backstage tour from TYLER JOSEPH AND JOSH DUN! It starts before the show and we even get front row in the pit, we are gonna be so close to them. Oh my gosh I'm so excited! Aren't you happy?!" 

I still stare at her, in utter shock. I want to scream I want to dance and I want to cry because I'm so happy, but I can't help but be worried. I'm going to meet 2 people that I've only seen on TV. I'm not sure I can believe it. 

I look at Emily waiting for my reply. I smile and we both jump up and down together in excitement. What she doesn't know is that I'm petrified because in 1 week, I'm going to meet my idol Tyler Joseph, and my old high school crush and classmate, Joshua Dun.
