Stereo Kicks Imagines and Preferences

He's Your Best Friend 2/8

James:

"Hey Y/N, welcome!" your best friend James called out to you as you walked into his house. He had invited you to a gathering with the rest of the Stereo Kicks boys and some other girls that you knew. You two had been best friends since 2nd grade and for the past 6 months, you had started to develop feelings for him. Of course, you hadn't said anything because what if he didn't like you back? THAT would be super awkward, not to mention you would lose the strong friendship you two had. 

"What's up Diva?" you said, grinning. 

"We were just about to play some Truth or Dare Y/N, care to join us?" Tom asked, raising his eyebrows. He found out that you liked James by eavesdropping about a conversation you were having with one of your close girl friends just the week previously. You had sworn him to secrecy but he had vaguely mentioned trying to get you guys together. You had been anticipating something like this when you were driving to James' house. You took one look at his face and you knew he was up to something.

"Uh, sure!" you said casually, not wanting to seem as terrified as you felt. You sat down between James and your one friend Amanda, the girl you had been having that conversation with that Tom overheard. 

Barclay spun the bottle first and it landed on Reece. The game carried on for about 15 minutes until, at last, Tom had the opportunity to spin the bottle. However, it landed on James, not you. You quietly breathed a sigh of relief. 

"James, truth or dare?" Tom asked. 

"Dare," James replied confidentally.

"I dare you to....kiss Rachel!" he said. Your eyes widened and you glanced over at him. He shrugged at you as if to say, "Well, you didn't want to make a move anyway."

James leaned over two people to his right and kissed a ginger-haired girl called Rachel. You knew it was all fun and games but you couldn't help but feel completely sad and disheartened. 

Thankfully, James decided that it was time to watch a movie. As everyone got settled, you announced that you were quickly going up to the bathroom. You dashed up and closed the door before anyone could see the tears streaming down your face. You sat on top of the toilet, dabbing at your eyes with toilet paper before eventually just holding it under your eyes since you were crying so much. About 10 minutes later, you heard a faint knocking on the door. 

"Y/N?" you heard James' voice call quietly. 

"Come in," you said in a wobbly voice. 

James opened the door and came in. He took one look at your red, puffy face face and held you in his arms, sitting you on his lap as he sat down on the bathroom floor. After a few minutes, he said, "Tom told me why you were upset. He said that I must tell you that he's sorry." 

"He told you?" you asked, eyes widening.

"Yeah," he replied, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to ruin our friendship in case you didn't feel the same way, which you probably don't," you said hoarsely. 

"Look at me Y/N," he whispered. You hesitantly turned your head towards him and realised his face was inches away from yours. 

"What if I did feel the same?" he said so quietly you could barely hear what he said. 

"Are you saying that you like me b-" You began to say but his lips cut you off, giving you your answer. The kiss was gentle yet full of passion at the same time. Whilst you were still kissing, you heard the bathroom door open.

"FINALLY!" Tom yelled, lifting his hands up in triumph. You just buried your head in James' chest, feeling embarrassed yet happier than you had ever been.

Barclay: 

"Hey guys! Welcome back to the Twitcam!" your best friend Barclay Beales said to the camera, "The boys have gone but I thought it would be fun to do about 5 minutes more with my best friend who is a girl Y/N!" he announced as you waved at the camera. 

"Hi! You can send in questions and we'll answer as many as we can in about 5 minutes!" you said, smiling. You and Barclay had literally been best friends since you were born. You two had been neighbours your whole lives and had been through everything together, from first days of school to first relationships. You had never wanted to go out with anyone but Barclay but he never seemed to share the same feelings, since he had always been going out with other girls. 

You and Barclay looked at the questions being sent in and 99.9% of them were along the lines of, "WHY AREN'T YOU TWO TOGETHER???????" or "I SHIP YOU GUYS!!" 

"Wow, you guys are really subtle aren't you?" Barclay laughed. 

"Here's a non-relationship question from Natalie saying "What are your fave movies?" " you read out. 

"TOY STORY!" Barclay yelled like a little child. You giggled at his adorableness. 

You noticed another question from a fan saying, "Even if you aren't going out (which you should be) could you at least kiss maybe??!" 

"Hey Barcs, check out this question," you said, pointing at it. He read it and stayed completely silent.

"Well, Barcs has decided to play The Silent Game I guess," you said, shrugging your shoulders. 

"Well, since we're not going out, wanna at least kiss?" he asked hesitantly, looking at you hopefully.

"Uhm, okay," you giggled, blushing bright red. 

You both leaned in and his soft lips touched yours. The kiss only lasted about 5 seconds but it was the most amazing kiss you had ever had. 

"Y/N, I have been meaning to ask you this for a long time but would you like to go out with me?" Barclay asked.

"Of course!" you replied happily.

"Well, Y/N and I have some sleeping and cuddling to attend to so thanks for watching!" Barclay said, closing the Twitcam and kissing you again.
