Summary: Y/N has a crush on Chris but falls back when she notices the feelings aren't really reciprocated.
Warnings: none really, small angst.
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯
Y/N and Chris have always had a weird relationship.
They were friends, but Y/N had this huge crush on him, and he knew it. It's hard to miss when the girl is doing everything in her power to get you to notice her.
She's always holding his hand, hugging him, kissing his cheek when she feels it is appropriate, buying him gifts, and cooking for him and his brothers.
It was clear as day she had a crush on the youngest Sturniolo.
However, Chris thought it was annoying.
He saw her as a pest, an annoying pest that he couldn't get rid of. She was always there hugging him, kissing him, acting like a girlfriend.
He hated it.
Not completely though.
You see, Chris had a hard time showing and accepting affection from people who weren't his family. It made him feel weird so he resulted in acting like an asshole.
He would gently push the girl away when she would hug him, wipe her sparkly lipgloss off his face, he would even go as far as avoiding her completely.
But he also returned the acts in his own way.
If he knew she was coming over to film a video, he would make Nick DoorDash her favorite candy. If he knew Y/N was coming to cook dinner like she did every weekend for the triplets, he would clean the kitchen for her. One time she lost her favorite Lipgloss and Chris went into a beauty supply store to find it (he was so confused and overwhelmed when all the aunties were looking at him crazy).
Small acts of affection were his forte.
Y/N didn't know this though.
All she saw was the annoyance on his face when she would come around or be clingy, so she fell back from him. No more hugs, kisses, gifts, none of it. The only thing she kept doing was cooking for the boys because a diet of McDonald's and pizza was not healthy.
It took him a while (a month) to notice the bubbly girl stopped being so bubbly towards him. He found himself missing her hugs that left a sweet cherry scent on his clothes, he missed the sparkly gloss that would be left on his cheek. and most of all,
He missed the affection.
He didn't realize how good he had it. He had a whole girl who looked at him like he was the whole world, and he didn't appreciate her to the full extent.
It wasn't until they all attended a party, he snapped.
Y/N was dressed in a pair of black flared jeans, a crop top with a random design, and her curls were out in their natural state. She looked good.
However, she was in a corner holding a drink, talking to a guy with a huge smile on her face. "Nick who is that dude Y/N is talking to?" Chris found himself asking. He didn't like how close they were.
He swore he could see hints of her sparkly lipgloss on the guy's cheek.
"I think that's the guy she's been talking to for the last month. Justin is his name? I think, but I'm not too sure." Chris never turned his head so fast.
"What?! She's talking to someone?"
Nick nods, "Yeah for like a month. He's taken her on multiple dates, given her flowers, the full thing."
Chris is beyond confused by this information.
"I thought she liked me."
All Nick can do is give Chris a dirty look.
"Are you being serious? Chris you literally woul-you know what? I'm not getting into this." Nick throws his hands up and walks away.
All Chris can do is stare at Y/N flirting with this guy the whole night.
Everything she would do with Chris, she was doing with Justin.
Chris felt sick to his stomach.
"You like her don't you?" Matt asks as he walks up to Chris. He's been watching his brother the whole night and he could see the hurt on his face.
"It was only a matter of time," Matt thinks to himself.
"What? No!" He tries to play it off.
"That's how you lost her-" Chris looks at Matt in confusion. "You would act like you didn't like her and you pushed her away. Now that she has someone else, you wish it was you."
Chris cant even be mad at Matt's words because he's right.
He does wish it was him.
When he looks back over at the girl, he sees she's now alone.
Without a word to Matt, he walks over to her, adrenaline at an all-time high.
He leans down and whispers in her ear, "Can we talk, please?"
Y/N feels her whole body heat up as Chris proceeds to be in her personal space. All she can do is nod, and let Chris guides her to the back patio.
"What did you want to ta-Why are you talking to Justin?" Y/N is stunned by Chris cutting her off. "Because I can?"
"So you just drop me and start talking to other guys?" Chris scoffs.
It's clear as day he didn't think anything through, he just went straight into attack mode.
Y/N frowns at Chris. She was never the one to argue or fight people, especially her friends. "Chris, you can't be mad I decided to stop being thirsty over you and moved on. I tried for the longest to get you to notice and like me but you never reciprocated... it's not fair for you to be mad at me for that."
Chris sighs to himself, she was right. it's not fair for him to be like this.
"I did reciprocate though...."
Now it's Y/N's turn to be on attack mode, "when? when you would push me away? When you would roll your eyes at me? Was it when you stopped coming out of your room when I would come over? Oh, I know how about when I caught you calling me annoying and clingy?"
Chris flinches hearing her words, He never meant for her to hear those words.
"I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that. " Chris finally looks at her.
"I don't know how to show my feelings, let alone allow myself to show affection to anyone who isn't my family...I did try to reciprocate though, it may not have been noticeable but I did."
Y/N stares at him with now soft eyes.
Chris wasn't the type to show emotion. So the fact that he is now, she wants him to know she's listening.
"I would make Nick get your favorite snack when you came over, I would clean the kitchen when you came to cook. When you lost your favorite lipgloss I went to that beauty supply store you love and bought a whole case so you would always have some when you came over... "
Y/N feels her heart swell.
She never knew Chris did those things. Nick told her he was the one who got the snacks and cleaned the kitchen, Matt also told her he found her lipgloss at a random store.
She never knew it was all Chris.
"I just... I didn't notice how much I liked you until you fell back. Seeing you with that bozo made me realize I have feelings for you and I don't want to see you with anyone else."
Chris feels like a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders. He finally admitted he had a crush on someone.
"He's not a bozo..." Y/N mumbles with a small smile. Chris gives her a look.
"kid came to a party in a dolphin jersey and khakis. He's not your type nor can he dress." they laugh for a few seconds before calming down.
Y/N finds herself looking at Chris, "What is my type then?"
Chris turns and looks at the girl, "Hopefully it's someone who can dress well and may be a bit of an asshole, but still shows he cares by small acts of affection." he lets his hand grab hers.
Y/N looks down at their intertwined hands and finds herself smiling.
"That does sound like my type."
Now it's Chris's turn to smile.
"I like you Chris...a lot."
" I like you too...a whole lot"
They stand there, holding hands. Y/N gently rubbing her thumb over his fingers.
"Give me a chance. I may be an asshole at times but I promise i'll do better and actually appreciate you the way you deserve." Y/N looks up at Chris.
"You really went into a beauty supply store for me?"
"Yeah."
"Were you dressed like a bum?"
chris laughs a bit.
"I was in my sweats, a tank, and slides."
"Did the ladies stare at you like you were crazy?"
"Yeah. I was scared they were going to yell at me like your mom did when I sat on her nice couch."
They laugh and Chris finds himself wrapping his hands around her waist.
"I think I could give you a chance after that."
Chris can't help but smile as he looks down at her, "yeah?" He slowly leans in.
"yeah," Y/N confirms, also leaning in.
both of them close their eyes as they share a soft, passionate kiss.
When they pull away, they see the smile on each other's faces.
"I like the cherry lipgloss." Y/N giggles and mumbles for him to shut up.
"Come on, let's go back inside."
Chris guides them inside and back to their friends. "Yo where have you guys been?" Nate asks.
Chris puts his hands on Y/N's waist, and rests his head on hers,
"finally getting my girl"

pov: megumi has a crush on you
summary: more megumi headcanons i fear… ya’ll like my texts way more so this is definitely written for me.
warnings: reference to catcalling? other than that sfw + gender non-specified!!
masterlist
reserved! megumi who takes his time getting to know you. he studies all your qualities and aspects personality as if one day he’ll be quizzed on your features. megumi admires your ambition and drive but most of all your tenderness and selflessness. he’s drawn to people with good and expressive hearts. people who like to help others and perform nice gestures just because they can.
attentive! megumi who focuses diligently when you’re speaking, concentrating on every single trivial detail, even those that slip absent-mindedly past your lips without much thought. he listens to you ramble on and on about your interests yet it never bores him (and he gets bored of people alright). speaks so softly with you in a tone that surprises everyone around you (mainly nobara and yuji who have never seen him so interested in another human before… he’s always this soft to animals, though).
nerdy! megumi who prefers reading non-fiction but will pick up your favourite fantasy novels just because he wants to feel close to you. seeing your eyes light up when he mentions the titles to you makes his heart swell. highlights his favourite quotes and annotates in between pages. he’ll share them with you, gaze fixated on you as your eyes scan over all of this thoughtful comments. you feel such genuine happiness knowing he has gone so far to do this for you.
sappy! megumi who picks up one of your romance suggestions next, finding himself relating to the hopelessly enamoured protagonist. again, he annotates his copies and scribbles exclamation marks when he comes across passages that resonate with his growing feelings for you. doesn’t show you these ones, of course. at least not yet.
shy! gumi who admires your kindness from afar. all the little things you go out of your way to do just to help someone else. when you assist yuuji in the kitchen with his high-protein meals or paint nobara’s nails with great precision. when you’re the first to offer your seat up for an elderly woman on the metro or when you bounce out of your seat to help your teachers carrying piles of school documents.
observant! megumi who notices all of your little habits. the kind of things that make you feel so loved and cared for when he mentions them back to you. those things that no one else really noticed even if you badly wanted it to be seen.
love-sick! megumi would configures multiple playlists about you. one playlist containing all your favourite tracks and another with all those that you recommended to him directly. the type to listen to ‘i wanna be yours’ and fall asleep to thoughts of being with you. so many random romantic playlists often come up on his spotify profile. one time he made you a physical mixtape. yes, it was mostly just love songs… you swore it was just a coincidence. mostly.
insecure! megumi who constantly thinks he could never be good enough for you. dismisses your concern when you notice him distancing himself (because somehow you can distinguish between this and his usual quietness) but can never fully push you away. feels his heartbeat accelerate when you offer him physical comfort (with less reluctance than with anyone else). hugs from you are so comforting.
touch-starved! megumi who craves your physical affection all the time and it gets very noticeable. his arms instinctively circle around your waist whenever you greet him, rushing over for a hug. at first it was always you initiating the affection, but it’s starting to feel so natural reciprocating it. your hand will subtly slip into his when you are walking around central tokyo together or you’ll cling onto his side for comfort and warmth. he worries that you’ll be able to hear his obnoxiously loud heartbeat when you do so, but nothing could make him pull away.
annoyed! megumi who glares at his friends when they tease him about your physical affection (or when they hear your nicknames for him). but at least they have the decency to wait until you’ve left, he thinks. i give them one more week, yuuji says to nobara as megumi walks away in the same direction you just went.
if looks could kill… nobody would want to experience angry! megumi. even yuuji and nobara started to feel unsettled seeing him like that after some old loser started to catcall you. you had barely registered what was called out to you before he fearfully disappeared around the corner.
kind! megumi who opens his arms for you when he sees you’re upset. sometimes struggles with verbal comfort, but he remembers how nice it is to be hugged by you, so surely this should help. it does help - and he feels his heart swell when you thank him for being there for you.
even more nervous! megumi who finally musters the courage to confess his feelings for you. rehearses the speech in his head (and surprisingly to yuuji) tens of times only to be left astounded after you make the confession first. finally kissing you felt like the sun rising after months of darkness.
megumi who has infinite amounts of layers!! getting to know him is truly a magical experience. ultimate green flag he is perfect end of discussion!!
haven’t published anything in so long… hey ya’ll. how is everyone doing. pls send requests i am out of ideas!!
