Julie and the Phantoms Oneshots

Lavender and Vanilla

Requested by @juliejatp. Thanks for the awesome idea! 

Also, the boys are alive in this one because I thought it would work better. TW: mentions nails digging into skin. 

The band was playing a gig at a school dance. 

Well, they had played the gig and now they were just at the dance. 

Reggie was pretty sure Alex was off somewhere with Willie.

And Luke had gone off towards the food. 

Flynn was up on the stage behind her DJ set up. 

Reggie had ditched his flannel tonight in favor of just the leather jacket. 

But now as he tried to move through the crowd of sweaty, dancing people he wished he had the sleeves to grab onto. 

Reggie just wanted everything to be quiet, it was too loud. 

Everyone kept bumping into him but Reggie couldn't seem to find a way out. 

Reggie's vision was blurring, and his nails dug into the skin on his arm. 

It was too hot in here. 

"Reggie, Reggie!"

He couldn't make any noise out with the music and the screaming. 

"Reggie, Reggie, Reggie it's me."

Reggie just swayed back and forth, trying to make out the blurry figure in front of him. 

"Reggie!"

He felt someone's hand intwine with his so he couldn't keep digging his nails into his arm. 

Then he felt himself being pulled through the crowd. 

He heard the music getting fainter and fainter, and it wasn't as warm as when he had been surrounded by bodies. 

"Reggie, can you hear me?"

Reggie tried to nod. 

"Okay, that's good, now can you try breathing in and out slowly."

Reggie took some deep breaths. 

"There, you're doing great Reg. Is it alright if I hug you?"

Reggie nodded and slumped into the person's arms.

He buried his face into something soft and inhaled. 

He knew that smell. 

That was Julie. 

She always smelled like lavender and vanilla. 

"Julie,"Reggie mumbled. 

"Yeah Reg, it's me,"Julie said. 

Reggie wrapped his arms tighter around her waist and burying his face deeper into the crook of her neck. 

They sat there in silence, the only noise the faint sound coming from the gym. 

Julie was running her hands through Reggie's hair. 

Then the music got louder for a second before fading. 

"Julie, Reggie, there you guys are."

Luke was loud, too loud. 

Reggie whined as he clinged tighter onto Julie. 

"Luke, shh,"Julie said. 

"Hey, is Reggie alright?"

Alex was much quieter and his voice was softer.
