'friends'

Character: Washio Tatsuki x reader

Warnings: Kissing, making out?? I don't think it's too bad but I guess a little suggestive ;), FEKFNE obviously it's not even CLOSE to NSFW, just some 'suggestive' comments but they're more like teasing/jokes. EXTREMELY self-indulgent, FLUFF

You stood there in the linoleum floored hallway, anxiously waiting for your ‘friend’ to exit the locker rooms so you could finally confess your feelings to him. The friend in question was none other than Tatsuki Washio, the guy you’ve been hopelessly in love with for almost 2 years now.

The two of you had met in your second year. You were walking running down the hall, trying to get to your bus in time when you had tripped, falling flat on your face and dropping/scattering all of your stuff. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the super hot and quiet guy from your math class knelt down and started helping you gather your stuff, asking if you were okay. After he helped you gather your fallen items and made sure that yes, beyond your bruised pride you were in fact okay, you checked the time only to see that you had indeed missed your bus. Sighing, you gave him a smile thanking him for his help and asking if he knew any other busses that ran at this time.

He asked where you were headed, and his eyes widened when you said your street. As it turns out, the two of you lived on the same street, and with you having recently moved houses, the two of you didn’t know you were practically neighbors. He told you there was one more bus, but it’d be another 45 minutes before it came again. And it was already a 15 minute ride on a good day. “Looks like i’m walking, thank you again, uhm..it’s Washio, right?” You didn’t miss how the tips of his ears turned a slight shade of pink before he nodded, “L/n, correct?” Your eyes widened and you nodded your head, squealing inside that HE KNEW YOUR NAME TOO!?

He shifted on his feet, hands coming together as he nervously wrung his hands. “Uhm..if you want, my practice just ended...it’s getting dark out, would you mind if I walked you home?” You, gracefully of course, stuttered out a ‘not at all!’ and the two of you went on your way. From that point on, it became a regular thing for the two of you to walk home together, work together for projects, attend each others games/events. You two became good friends, and he was an amazing friend! But you didn’t want to be his friend, because he meant more than that to you, you wanted to be more.

And that’s why you were standing in this linoleum floored hallway, anxiously waiting for your ‘friend’ to exit the locker room so you could finally confess your feelings to him. You had it all planned out, you’d meet up with Washio, walk home together, and at the very last moment, confess your feelings to him. This hadn’t been the original plan, the original plan had been to nEVER confess your feelings to him, but after watching tonight’s game, watching how when he scored his gaze went to yours, when he had a break he shot you the teeniest smile. You were filled with too much emotion, too much longing to not do anything about it. Plus this way, if he did reject you, you’d be on your doorstep so all you’d have to do is go inside, get under your covers and cry.

The opening of a door caught your attention, your eyes flitting up to scan through the crowd of players leaving the room. It was never too hard to spot Washio, he was 6’2 with broad shoulders and in your eyes (and to anyone with common sense), extremely attractive. It wasn’t too long before he came out, he was usually one of the last ones out, since he’d make sure the locker room wasn’t in complete chaos before leaving. By the time he got over to where you stood, the hallway had cleared up, leaving the two of you alone, your heart pounding in your ears as you gulped. “Ready to go?”

In that moment, it felt like time stopped. His hand ran through his pushed back dark hair, head tilted ever so slightly downwards so he could see you, eyes soft with a fondness you noticed only appeared for you, his right hand holding his duffle bag, while his other dropped to his side. You blinked, once, twice, and you paused. You don’t know what came over you, maybe it was hormones, maybe the stress of hiding your feelings for 2 years was getting to your head, regardless of what it was, some force caused you to take a step forward, gently grab his face to pull him down before you kissed him. It was short, not necessarily on purpose but it didn’t take too long for it to sink in that you had randomly kissed your best friend.

You pulled back, too stuck in your own head to see the blush on his cheeks on the way his eyes were blown wide. “I-i’m sorry, I’ll go now-” You spun around on your heel, trying to leave the school as quickly as you could. But before you could get more than 6 ft, you heard quick footsteps behind you, a hand grabbed your wrist and spun you around before a hand was on your cheek and his lips were on yours. He was kissing you. HE WAS KISSING YOU!! Coming to your senses your hands came back up to hold his face, smiling as he tilted his head to slightly deepen the kiss. Your hands moved down to slide over his jaw and down to rest them on his broad shoulders, a sigh of content falling from his lips.

You heard the ‘thud’ of his gym bag and felt his now empty hand take residence on your waist, hands pulling you closer before he broke away, resting his head in the crook of your neck while the two of you stood in silence while you caught your breaths. “I like you...I like you a lot.” As you said that your arms wrapped around him, holding him tight you rested your head on his shoulder. You heard him sigh, a ‘that’s good’ falling from his lips as you laughed. With a small peck to his shoulder you pulled away, keeping him at arm's length while you smiled up to him, him returning your smile as his hands now both sat snuggly on your hips.

“Well, it’s not the confession I planned but I’m not complaining. Who knew Washio Tatsuki was such a good kisser~?” He shot you a small glare, but judging by how pink the tips of his ears were, you knew he wasn’t mad and it’s not like your own face wasn’t burning at the moment. You laughed, throwing your head back as he chuckled, shaking his head. “I was going to say I like you back, but now I don’t think I want to.” Your head snapped back, eyes wide and jaw dropped, “WAIT NO, do you know how stressful the past 20 minutes have been??” He turned his head to the side, tongue darting out to wet his lips as he fought to suppress a smirk. “Well,” His hands moved to your waist, dark eyes looking into yours with a noticeable glimmer in them.

“I suppose you can make it up to me.” Your eyes widened as you blinked, mouth opening to speak, before shutting as all the comebacks or remarks you could ever respond with disappeared from your mind. He leaned down, kissed your cheek before he spoke just below your ear,“You can carry my bag, then we’ll be even.” He pulled away, smile widening when he saw just how flustered he had made you, shaking his head as you snapped out of it, shooting him your own glare before huffing as you picked up his bag. “Who knew Tatsuki was such a tease…” he laughed before you took his hand and the two of you walked down the linoleum floored hallway, no longer anxious about confessing to your friend, but filled to the brim with happiness as you walked out with your now boyfriend. (...he also then took his bag from you because I refuse to think he is anything but a gentlemen<3)
