Who: Julie and Luke
Where: The studio
What: Writing/Talking
When: Afternoon after school.
Rating: Low
Open: To the band.
Notes: Awkward blooming romance.
Status: Ongoing.

Julie always comes straight to the studio after school, it's the one place of home that she had in this strange world so she started to spend any free time there. She had just finished her homework which was spread across the table and couch, her eyes peered toward her mother piano and she gave a small smile. Moving the book in her lap on the table, she moved to the piano and sat down on the bench.

Her hands moved to lift the covering with her fingers and than she started to play melody of the song she dreamed of when she danced with Nick, pretending it was Luke a few week or so ago. Which felt like a lifetime ago, has it only been a few weeks? Humming her fingers lightly danced on the keys as she debated telling Like about the song, but honestly would he tease her?

Changing gears she started to play the song her mother wrote for her, it was one of her favorites now. She closed her eyes, letting the music take her over, smiling at the memories this song held for her and than she started to sing.

"Here's one thing I want you to know
You got some place to go
Life's a test, yes, but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no, you grow

And you use your pain
'Cause it makes you you
Though I wish I could hold you through it
I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it
"

Ever since arriving at Vallo, Luke had begun to wonder if the afterlife would be anything like it. Would they even be allowed into heaven after not crossing over for so long? Did he even want to go to heaven? Maybe. But, not yet. Their career had finally begun and he wasn't ready to give it all up so soon. He was grateful for the fact they were all together and that they got to share a pretty sweet setup in some apartment complex. Actually sharing a space with Julie though, that was a little weird.

Luke spent most of the day wandering through the busy streets of the city, popping over to the forest in between. There was so much to explore and so many new sights that he felt more inspired than ever before. He had been standing in line at some coffee place, watching as someone complained about not having enough pumpkin spice flavor in their coffee and the milk not being non-fat or something. It was like watching television, only live and in person.

Having decided he'd spent more than enough time people watching, Luke popped back over to the studio where he found Julie sitting at the piano, playing the song her mother had written. He was quiet until she finished, only then making his presence known. "I love listening to you sing that, you sound so good, Jules." He spoke up from behind her and then moved in front of her, standing there with a smile. "How was school?"

When he spoke Julie jump slightly and let out a fah noise, she wasn't sure if she would get use to any of them randomly appearing. She smiled at him as her cheeks heated a little from is compliment, "thanks." She looked up at him as he moved, leaning back, "It's school," Alex had asked her the same thing, "I mean," it was school, "everything about the same, minus music program and no Flynn." She missed her best friend as much as she missed her brother and Dad, but she had the guys, the band, so that helped a lot.

"Alex asked about school as well, are you two worried or something?" she asked as she shifted to place down the fallboard and leaned to prop her elbow on it, using her hand to hold her chin. "I'm fine," she told him, "school is fine, really. I'm adjusting rather well." She arched a brow at him, "how are you handling," her free hand waving all around, "all of this?"

"I know this is odd and honestly, freaking out, a lot, but what can we do?" Julie flashed him a bright smile, "hey, we got gigs, which is really awesome, right?"

"Ah, sorry, I keep forgetting that you don't hear me enter." Luke apologized with a sheepish smile and moved to lean against the front of the piano. "Worried? Yeah, maybe a little, I guess? I mean, this place is so weird, I wasn't sure if school would be the same for you or not." When she motioned around the room he shrugged his shoulders and pushed off the piano.

"Yeah, it's definitely weird, but, I spent twenty-five years in some weird room, so, I'm kind of just rolling with it. Yes, gigs are awesome! That's the best thing about this place, there are other people who can see us and Sabrina is being so cool, trying to help us out. But, more gigs means new songs, and that means you and I need to focus on writing!" Luke exclaimed excitedly and suddenly his guitarr appeared against his chest. "Is now a good time?"

Julie nodded her head as he mentioned just rolling with it, it honestly what they have all been doing since they met, minus her minor freak out at first. However when he mentioned working on some writing and his guitar appeared, "Yes," she told him as she shifted back on the bench, "I was actually thinking," she paused for a moment, debating, but than went for it.

"What about a ballad?" she asked him, "we have music to rock out to, but nothing for people could slow dance with." She spun around on the bench to stand up, walking to the couch to into her back. "My book of songs didn't show up here since I kept it in my book bag at home, but I have had this song rolling around in my head and well, it could work, I think." She pulled out the book and moved back over to him, flipping the page to show him some of Perfect Harmony. "I even kind of seen this played out in my head with us singing," her cheeks flushed at he confession.

"A ballad? I mean, sure, we could try a ballad?" Those were usually love songs though, and other than what he felt for his mom, Luke wasn't really sure what love was. He moved over to where she stood with the book and peered down to read the lyrics over.

We say we're friends, we play pretend...I feel your rhythm in my heart, you are my brightest burning star.

As he read the lyrics over he felt an unfamiliar feeling settling in his chest and it hadn't been there before. He turned to look at Julie who appeared to be a little nervous and then he realized what she had just said. "These lyrics, they are...really amazing, Julie. You have such a way with words, it's beautiful." It was all true, she was full of so much talent and he was going to do anything and everything to make sure that the rest of the world knew it too.

"As do you," she moved on since he didn't question her statement, "figured we can figure out the rest together. Normally I lead the song, but I think, it's your turn to lead," she told him as she moved a hand to point at the start of the lyrics, "See " pointing to the start of it.

Step into my world
Bittersweet love story 'bout a girl
Shook me to the core
Voice like an angel
I've never heard before


"Than I'll come in and we can slowly build the band up to join the chorus, only to pianoforte back for your next verse, building the music back up again, but keeping it steady after my last verse, that we all joined together for the rest of the song?

"Yeah, I-" Luke just nodded and swallowed thickly as he read over the opening lyrics. She had pictured them singing the song. Together. But, they always sang together, so why did this feel like something more? Something different? Why was this song making him feel so nervous? What would the guys have to say about it? Did it matter what they thought? He reached down to strum a few chords on his guitar and kept his gaze down for the moment.

"Step into my world. Bittersweet love story 'bout a girl." He began to sing as he strummed along. "Shook me to the core, voice like an angel I've never heard before."

This was so awkward but he was willing to work on the song, so when he started to strum along, Julie looked down at the notebook follow him. When it became her part,

"Here in front of me"
she started to snap her fingers for the rhythm.

"They're shining so much brighter
Than I have ever seen
Life can be so mean
But when he goes, I know he doesn't leave"

Her eyes peered up to him as the chorus

"The truth is finally breaking through
Two worlds collide when I'm with you
Our voices rise and soar so high
We come to life when we're
In perfect harmony"

A ballad, a love song, that he was supposed to sing with Julie. Luke found himself momentarily distracted and came in on the chorus a little late. He recovered quickly and dropped his gaze to his guitar, trying desperately to avoid looking her in the eyes. They continued the song, easily finding a groove between each other, and somehow, in the end, he found himself staring down at Julie. Instead of finishing the last line, he let his guitar drop and he reached out to cup her face in his hands and brushed a chaste kiss to her lips.

Singing with Luke has always been easy, they brought the best out of each other anytime they worked together. When he came late into the chorus, she just thought it was because this was the first time they were performing it. They worked on songs together but this was the first she had already planned it out, ish.

As they continued, the song really began to flow, she smiled up at him as they were nearing the end. Suddenly Luke cupped her face, her heart felt like it was going to exploded as their lips brushed together.

THIS WAS HAPPENING!

Even though her best friend wasn't there, she could hear Flynn going "gurl he is kissing you" and Julie found she didn't want that to be their last kiss. She slid a hand on his chest, another to his neck, leaning up to kiss him back.

When she started kissing him back, Luke was a little stunned. He nudged her back carefully so that he could swing his guitar around to his back and not have it be in the way. He closed the distance between them and his arm moved to wrap around her waist, holding her close to his body. He could feel the warmth of her body against his own and he held her even tighter.

They were still unsure what brought the band into her life, even now that they were able to touch, but Julie was thankful. A whole year went by where there was no joy, no music,no love other than family in her life. Now she has all of it back, thanks to the band and Luke. They inspired her to be herself again.

When he nudged her back, she straighten for she could be level with him and as he brought her into his body, her arms moved around his neck, fingers locking as she kissed him again, to the point were she had to pull back with a groan for she could breath, her forehead touching his "Oh Luke," she sighed out.

He had only done this once before, with Lindsey Walker during a stupid kissing game. When he had been alive, his main focus had been on music and he never really made time for anything else, girls included. "Julie..." he whispered her name like a song, finding himself breathless and unable to think clearly. He wanted to kiss her again, and he also wanted to pretend it had never happened and get back to working on the song.

The love song. He had kissed her at the end of a love song. Did that mean something? What he felt for her was confusing and he didn't know if he had gotten wrapped up in the song, or if it was something else.

Losing Man-Wol and the Hotel de Luna was a huge disappointment for a lot of reasons. Not being able to eat anymore was probably the biggest, though it was also nice to have a place where they could be seen by everyone. Of course, Sabrina had managed to spell the club on Halloween, so there was hope that something else like that could work.

Alex and Reggie had been out, exploring the city, looking for any other possible ghost-friendly locations with no luck. Dejected, they decided to pop over to the studio and see if Luke was there so they could all commiserate together.

It took a second for Alex to realize what he was seeing when they popped in and his hand went to Reggie's arm, eyes wide as he looked at Luke and Julie clearly sharing a moment. "Um..."

Reggie never stayed down for too long. So while he was definitely sad that the Hotel (and their ability to be seen and eat) was gone, he was already searching for the bright side again. While their excursions that day hadn't yielded any results, he knew something was bound to happen soon.

When he and Alex popped into the studio, Reggie immediately started to grin. Of course he knew Julie and Luke were crazy about each other, and it was nice to see they were finally getting it together enough to see it too.

He flashed a huge smile at Alex, who was looking awkward and slightly uncomfortable. "Awwwww, look at you two."

Julie wouldn't mind doing it again, but she was thinking they should get back to working on the song as well. They did have a gig coming up, but she did really like Luke, but there was so much to figure out! She wasn't even sure how to even explain that. However before she could say anything, Alex spoke and than Reggie.

AWKWARD!

Instantly her hands dropped away from look, her head turned to look at the Alex and Reggie, "Um...this was nothing," she told them, but then mentally kicked herself, "umm, wait, not, it's something but" she looked at Luke, her cheeks flushed from embarrassment of what she said, not the kiss.

Stepping away, she turned to look at all of them, "we were just working on a new song and it's a ballad, so we were kissing together," WHY IS SHE DOING THIS TO HERSELF! "singing, we were singing close together!" She looked at Luke apologetic, she was freaking out a little, and felt like she made it worse, he meant something to her, obviously! Julie was on awkward embarrassment autopilot.

Clapping her hands, "but we are all here so we can have a meeting, talk about what to play at the gig, and Evie offered to make us costumes." Julie added as she went to collect her things off the couch for they would all talk.

Luke stepped away so quickly that he almost banged his head against Julie's. "What she said, we were just working on a song." He exclaimed with a sheepish smile, trying to ignore how awkward the situation was right now. He stood there next to her and moved to pull his guitar back around front, and when she said they were just kissing together, his eyes widened in awe and he nearly choked.

"Yes, let's discuss what to play, excellent idea! What about costumes?" He turned a little more serious at the mention, his arms behind him as he looked over at her and then to the guys.

Alex couldn't help but laugh at the reactions from Julie and Luke. Like, yeah, it had been obvious for a while that they were into each other, so finding them kissing wasn't all that surprising, it was just a little awkward.

"Or Reggie and I can leave," he offered. "We can talk later. We have plenty of time before the gig."

Reggie's smirk was perma-fixed on his face during this entire scene. Not only was it adorably hilarious that Luke and Julie were trying to pretend like they hadn't just been making out, but he was also just genuinely happy for his friends. They were good together.

When Alex suggested they leave, however, his expression turned to one of bewilderment. "What? Leave? We JUST got here!"

Alex responded in kind by smacking him on the arm and giving him a pointed look. "What? I don't know what you... OH." He chuckled softly and turned back to the other two. "Right. We can go. Leave you two aloooone."

"Guys," she called out to stop the teasing and the talking, "Luke and I can kiss more later, okay?" than she groaned at herself for adding fuel to the topic, However she took a deep breath and continued on, "Look it's band time, so everyone focus." She turned to Luke, "Evie is a designer, she just offered to make us performance clothes, we don't have to do it, because we always just wore whatever. She's got good taste though, I might ask for a few outfits for myself if you guys," her head turned to Reggie and Luke, "aren't interested. "

"Plus we are getting more gigs, so we do need to work on some new songs, right?" she asked them as she sat down on the couch, "like I was telling Luke," before the kissing, "we have songs to rock out to, but we need some slow songs as well."

Oh my God. Was she serious right now? She had just announced to the guys that they could always kiss more later and he wanted to run and hide. "I guess costumes might not be such a bad idea..." he suggested with a shrug and finally turned to face the guys for their opinions. "Personally, I'm cool with the nonstop rocking out, but I guess some slow stuff wouldn't hurt." Luke paused a minute and took a deep breath, his hand coming up run through his hair. "What do you guys think about everything?" Get back to business as usual and pretend nothing ever happened.

"I think that I want to make a rule that there should be no kissing in the common areas of the apartment," Alex said. They could pretend all they wanted that nothing happened, but there was no way he and Reggie were going to make it that easy on them. "But if you guys want to write love songs, I'm game."

His amusement was obvious in both his tone and his expression. "And, yeah, I'm good with Evie making us some stuff to wear when we perform." They'd never really gotten into dressing up or anything, but things could be different here so why not.

"Seconding that rule," Reggie said raising his arm in the air. "Motion passed."

When it became clear that he and Alex were not going to be leaving again, Reggie wandered over to sit on the couch. "I'm good with Evie making us whatever she wants," he replied with a dreamy look on his face.

Julie covered her face, wishing the couch would just swallow her, she was going to remark on how they would not be kissing there, but she didn't fuel this fire anymore. Plus it was something her and Luke needed to sort out, not with them, when they were ready too.

She dropped her hands from her face when Reggie sat next to her, she smiled at him, shaking her head and started to laugh.

Luke just stood there and rolled his eyes as the two made a formal rule in regards to kissing. "You two are ridiculous, I hope you know that." He moved over to lean back against the piano with his arms folded across his chest and he couldn't help but notice the dreamy look in Reggie's eyes when the name Evie was mentioned.

"You know, I would love to see some of the designs that Evie has. Maybe you could invite her over here sometime? Or, I guess we could go to her place." Which, was a pretty cool place given she lived in a castle. "Actually, you should ask her, Reggie." He teased the other, more than happy to turn the tables around.

Alex laughed at Luke's attempts to redirect the teasing away from himself and Julie even as he felt a pang of longing and wished that Willie was here. Despite everything that happened at home with Caleb, he would be happy to take the good natured ribbing from his friends if he had a chance to explore something with the other boy.

"I don't know, guys, do we want to trust Reggie with all of our fashion choices?" he asked.

"Do you think she'd want to?" Reggie asked, completely missing Luke's teasing. He tilted his head to the side curiously as he thought about it. At least until Alex made that comment about his fashion.

"Hey!" He scowled. "I'll have you know I am the best dressed guy in this band. What with Luke's allergy to sleeves and Alex's emotional support fanny pack."

Julie was laughing harder now, she loved how the guys were all like brothers and she shook her head, "Okay," she breathed out, "Reggie, reach out to her and tell her we are interested, how's that?" she asked everyone as she looked over her family, the boys.

Clapping her hand together, "it's getting late, so anything else we need to talk about?" she asked and then held up her hand, "before anyone else ask, school it fine."

"Yes, but we make decisions as a whole, Reg, so you can have your one on one time with her, but we all need to see the designs too." Luke made sure to add as he shot him a stern look. It was more than easy for his friend to agree to something awful just because a pretty girl had asked him. "I think we're good. Costumes are being worked on, we're going to do some ballads and, school is fine and...I think that's it?"

"And no kissing in public areas," Alex added. "Don't forget that one."

He grinned again. It was fun being able to tease his friends.
