The premise for this imagine was requested by two different people, so I've used most of the plot given to me by the original requester Imlizzieannharthyde, then the second person who requested this premise was IvyDex1.

It was better to merge the two requests than writing practically the same thing twice, y'know?

So, thank you for the requests, hope this is satisfactory, although I kinda feel it sucks ass, but let's see :)

Y/N's POV, 1983

I'd met Nikki in early 1979 after he came into the music store I worked at, he was as after an album and was going to steal it as he didn't have the money to afford it but as he put it in his coat, I went over to him and discreetly handed him the money for him to buy it.

I didn't want my boss potentially catching him as he had been eyeing the boy carefully since he'd come into the shop, I told him to use the money and buy the album and the look of pure confusion on Nikki's face at the act of kindness was almost heartbreaking but he did as I said and he brought the album.

He thanked me before he left and I didn't see him again for a while, until a few weeks later he came back to the store with a ten dollar bill in hand to pay me back for the money I'd leant him.

He came in and we smiled at each other, obviously recognising the other but when he handed me that money it was my turn to be confused.

He explained to me what it was for and I refused it, it was his money and while he might have enough money to pay me back now, I still didn't want me to waste the money he did have on me given when he clearly didn't have a lot of disposable income. I did it to save him from stealing, I never intended for him to pay me back.

After that day, I saw Nikki regularly, found out he was a bassist, he'd recently joined a band and was looking to become the next big thing. His ambition was admirable and I did believe him when he said he'd make it, he said it with such determination it was impossible to not believe that he'd make it someday.

Here in 1983, Nik had done some what he said he'd do, his band were on the rise on the brink of possible national and international success, it might have taken a few years and an entirely new band but he did it and I was so so proud of him.

Over the years, Nikki and I got close, we got close quickly but we were really close, and we started dating a month ago after we both got a bit drunk and kissed. We didn't do anything else, but we did kiss.

To be honest we probably would have done more than kiss if I hadn't have put a stop to it, and why did I do that? Well, the simple answer to that was I'd never had sex before.

It was a secret I'd kept because I know it's probably kinda lame, in my early twenties and still holding my virginity but I hadn't ever really had a boyfriend before, never feeling the need to get one and never really wanted to lose my virginity for the sake of it.

But Nikki didn't know this, even after all these years of knowing one another. It's never come up in conversation so he just assumes I have and I'm yet to have the guts to tell him.
