You wake up the next morning in the arms of Andy. 'I could get used to this' you think to yourself. Then, you become aware of how restless Andy is. He's moving about and you guess he's having a nightmare. Poor Andy! You decide to ignore it at first, but he seems to be getting worse. It's unbearable to watch, so you shake him awake. He's breathing heavily and your heart breaks seeing him like this. You give him a big hug, even though he's very sweaty, and he hugs you back strongly. For someone so tiny, he sure is strong.

After the hug, the two of you go downstairs for some breakfast. You bring up the idea of going out to buy him some clothes, but a worried look appears on his face.
"What if he sees me y/n?" You understand his worry, so you instead, you'll go out alone to buy him some clothes.

You're standing my the front door when you glance anxiously at Andy. "Are you sure you'll be okay? I don't want to leave you, not when he's so close."
Andy chuckles and gives you a wam hug. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Be back soon yea?" You give him a final smile and nod before leaving the house.

The shopping mall is relatively empty this early in the morning, which is great. You just want to buy Andy some clothes and get straight back home. As you look down at the list of items you need to buy, you blush at how the word underwear had been crossed out. When you had tentatively asked him what kind he wanted, he had simply took the pen from your hand and scribbled it out, a smile plastered on his face.  It was getting harder and harder for you to ignore the way Andy made you feel. You were spending half the time blushing and giggling like a school girl.

After buying the final items from Primark ( yours and Andy's favourite shop), you choose to buy a quick coffee. The queue is small; only one person is waiting so you jump behind him, the smell of coffee engulfing your senses.
You're minding your own business, when the man in front glances behind, making direct eye contact with you. It's John Taylor. Your jaw drops, and not because of how starstruck you are. He gives you that sly smile, winks and turns back round. You want to run back home to Andy, but that would be far too suspicious. Pretending everything is okay is the only thing you can do.

The moment you arrive back home, you drop the bags down in the hallway and shout for Andy. A very concerned Andy appears from the kitchen, and you run over to hug him. Seeing John had terrified you. Something about his smile made your stomach turn.

Once you calmed down, you explained what had happened. Andy looked equally scared, but the two of you decided to ignore the day's events, and try distract yourselves. And that you did. The rest of the day is glorious. Together, you explore the different rooms inside the house, and manage to get more unpacking done. You feel like you've been friends forever!

Andy begged you to let him make dinner; he hadn't been able to do so in years, and you happily let him. Whilst he pottered about in the kitchen, you went to go ring Simon. Hopefully he wouldn't be annoyed with you. Even though you aren't in a relationship with Simon, (he loves his wife too much) he likes to keep in touch with you. He is giving you all these money and gifts after all.
"Y/N sweetheart! How are you? How's the house?"
"Hiya Si, I'm doing okay. The house is amazing, thank you! I can't even put into words how beautiful it is!"
"No need to thank me luv! Ay, how come you've only just rang me? I hadn't heard from you once!" You gulp. There's no way you can explain that his bandmate turned his other bandmate into a rat, and you freed said rat. Simon would think you'd gone crazy!
"I know, I'm sorry Simon. I've just been so busy with the unpacking!"
"Ahh, it's alright darling. Look, I'm flying to LA two weeks on Tuesday, with Rog and Nicole, so we'll come see you, yeah? We can all go on my yacht if you want?" Shit. They're all coming! There's nothing you could say to change his mind now. But how will you explain the fact that Andy Taylor is living your house? Your brain is whizzing.
"Look luv, I'll see you soon yeah? I've got to go, Homes Under The Hammer is on! Mwah!" You manage to whisper "goodbye" before Simon hangs up. Less than a minute later, Andy is calling you to come for dinner. Unlike Simon, you know Andy will tell that something is up.

You barely eat a thing and whilst you're washing the pots, Andy comes behind you and taps your shoulder. "Please tell me what's wrong luv!"
"There's something you don't know about me and I don't want you to look at me differently once I tell you."
He gives you a warm smile, "I promise I won't judge. In my life, I've done some pretty stupid and bad things, and you don't look at me differently because of if." His words give you the confidence to admit it all. You tell him about Simon,  and he is barely even shocked.
"Yeah Simon is the type to have a sugar baby. He's a real generous guy. And a reall good looker. I don't judge you at all luv." You've never cared about what people think about the situation, but you really wanted Andy's acceptance. He's your best friend. You breathe a sigh of relief.

Once again, you're lying in bed. It's not long before you're forced to break the silence.
"I'm so happy you're here with me Andy." He doesn't reply at first, so you assume he's asleep. But then he takes you by suprise. He lifts himself up from besides you, and is now leaning over you, stroking your cheek. He whispers quietly, "I've often thought about where I'd go, what I'd do, if I became human again. I dreamt about all these luxurious places: Tokyo, Paris, Middlesbrough. But now I'm here, with you, and there's nowhere else I want to go. So if I go to any of those places, I'd only be happy if I went with you. I...I'm in love with you Y/N."
You feel the tears rolling down your face. Oh my god, you think, he said it!
"I love you too Andy. I don't care that we've only known eachother for a shirt amount of time. I love you! I love you! I love you!" The grin he gives you takes your breath away. And so, with the words out in the open, Andy leans down and kisses you. The kiss is perfect, warm, safe and you can't believe this is happening to you.
When the kisses finally end, you giggle like a schoolgirl, your fingers running through his soft brown hair.
"Well, that was much better than kissing Rat Andy!" You laugh, and he joins you.
After lots more kissing, and other things, you fall asleep snuggled up in Andy's arms. For now, everything is secure and perfect...
