the office oneshot🧚‍♀️ (jim halpert mostly)

i [dont] have a crush on you (pam and jim)

"jim!" michael yelled from his office. jim sighed and slowly walked towards his boss.

"what's up?" he asked, kind of annoyed.

"jan told me you want to transfer. why would you do that?" michael asked sadly.

"just some personal stuff, and better pay i guess" jim sighed again.

"tell me what it is and i'll make it better. i really don't want you to leave" michael said seriously.

"i don't think you can do that" jim said.

the issue was, jim couldn't get himself to tell pam how he felt. also, he noticed pam had been so down lately but she wouldn't tell him why, and he just felt like he was slowly losing her. that and the everyday shit made his anxiety get worst. he could barely sleep at night and he was just so exhausted. he figured maybe it would get better if he went away.

"tell me. what do you have to lose if you're gonna transfer anyway?" michael convinced him.

"you know what i told you about pam on the booze cruise?" he asked. he was at an all time low and maybe talking to someone, even michael, would feel better.

"you're transferring because of pam?!" he said way too loud and jim noticed a few heads turning in the bullpen.

"be quiet michael!" jim whisper-yelled. "i don't think you get it. i can't even sleep at night anymore, i love her so much it hurts, and recently she stopped talking to me so maybe i should just go away" jim said as his eyes filled with tears.

"why don't you tell her" michael said, stupidly in jim's opinion.

"she's engaged. i don't want to be a burden to her i guess" jim said.

"jimothy i love you so much but you're being a moron right now! go tell her how you feel or i'll do it" he said.

"michael don't! i'll think about it but you can't say anything" he said and michael nodded.

"pam and jim can i see you in the conference room for a second" michael called and jim froze in fear. when he saw pam smiling at him as she walked in, he decided to follow, even if getting up felt like climbing a mountain because of the short 4 hours of sleep he had gotten the night before.

"what's going on michael?" pam asked with her sweet voice and jim was trying to focus on something else than the butterflies in his stomach.

"jim has something to tell you" michael said and jim shot him a betrayed look.

"no i don't" jim said as he blushed.

"jim i will leave you two alone but you better tell her" michael said and he ran out the room, right before they heard him lock the door.

"wow. great now we're stuck" jim said and pam laughed.

"he's so ridiculous" she giggled. " he even closed all the blinds and stuff" he started laughing with her.

"but seriously, did you actually have something to tell me?" she asked.

"no. well, it's embarrassing, but michael is forcing me i guess" jim sat down on a chair.

"you can tell me, whatever it is" pam smiled.

"i-i'm not sure..." he stuttered.

"if i tell you my secret will you tell me yours?" pam said and he nodded. "you know why i've been acting weird all week? i broke up with roy and i've been sleeping at my mom's house. pathetic right?" pam said with a sad smile.
