Shawn Mendes Imagines !!

You're My Somebody

a/n: this is for @Lunatica_98! thank you for the request & I hope you love it! 

His beautiful caramel colored eyes kept flicking over to glance at me from his seat across the aisle. My hand gripped my pen as I continued to scribble down the notes that were furiously being written onto the white board, trying to keep my attention on the school work at task. But his eyes. Those gorgeous eyes that I hadn't been able to stop looking at since the first day of my sophmore year. I couldn't help but get distracted.

His fluffy, brown curls were grown out a bit now, falling just a bit over his forehead and when he flashed that adorable smile my way, my heart seemed to melt. We met when we chose desks next to each other in the beginning of the year. None of my friends were in my English class and apparently neither were his. So our small, quiet friendship was born when we introduced ourselves to each other.

Shawn.

Even his name captivated me. Everything about him was intriguing. He played hockey, was one of the best players on the school team, but he didn't hang out with the jocks. Instead, he was always spotted with a red head boy in our grade and they were constantly laughing happily at an inside joke. For the most part, he was shy; only offering me the correct amount of words to answer my few questions or fiddling with his headphones to stop the constant stream of music that he always had playing so he could avoid conversation with his other classmates.

But what sparked my interest the most was the fact that he sings and he's really good at it. Shawn never told me straight out but one day when I walked out to meet Lizzie and the girls for lunch in the courtyard, there he was seated at a picnic table with an acoustic guitar in his lap as he strung together a smoothing melody as two of his friends listened intently to the instrument and his voice. He caught my eye for one brief second and a look of insecurity washed over his facial features as he recognized me. Offering him a reassuring smile, I couldn't help but try and block out the gossip that filled the courtyard just so I could listen to him sing.

So the next day in English before our lesson started, I leaned over the aisle and lightly tapped his shoulder. Shawn's head snapped up in surprise, removing his eyes from his phone and quickly yanking out his headphones to give me his whole attention. Without a word, the expression on his face gave away that he was waiting for me to continue and it was clear that the same question was running through his mind, "Why was one of the popular girls talking to me?".

"What song were you singing yesterday?" I asked softly, genuinely curious about what his response would be. Those mesmerizing hazel eyes widened in shock for a fraction of a second as he thought about my question.

"The-the song I was singing yesterday?" Shawn repeated, pointing to himself as if he wasn't sure who I was talking to. A small giggle escaped my lips at how cute he was and I nodded gently.

"Yeah, in the courtyard yesterday. What song was it?" I clarified for him and the softest smile tugged at the corners of his pink lips.

"Um, Free Fallin' by John Mayer." He replied, his smile growing with each passing second and my heart skipped a beat.

"Mayer is one of my favorites. I know I didn't catch the whole performance but from what I heard, you were really good. You've got a voice Mendes." My admittance floated through the air as I teased him by using his last name instead of his first. Immediately, a deep red blush spread over Shawn's cheeks and his eyes fell from mine as he nervously fumbled with his fingers before looking at me again.

"Really? Do you have a favorite song of his?" Shawn questioned, his gaze full of happiness and a sparkle of confidence that wasn't there a few seconds ago. "And thank you by the way. It really isn't anything special, just me playing a guitar and playing a few of my favorite songs. I'm not really expecting it to take off even though it'd be insanely cool if it did." He confessed, voice delicate but blissful and a shot of overwhelming emotion hit my heart at the realization that Shawn was opening up to me.
