Boyfriend Imagines.

But we're just friends... right?

                   Requested by anonymous.

Mason Grier was your best friend and he has been for years. You first met while you were in 3rd grade and he was in 4th. Nobody was nice to you. They picked on your insecurities, called you names, and just made you feel horrible. Your teacher tried to make the kids stop, but it seemed like making them stop was as impossible as humans growing wings and flying. Mason, on the other hand, was the only one who was nice to you. When he would see you crying on the playground he would come sit by you, give you a big hug, and just let you cry. For the rest of elementary school he was your bodyguard. He always kept you happy and safe. 

Now, that was a few years ago. And in those years you and Mason have gotten closer and closer. He's always at your house just hanging out and tonight was no different. Your parents are on vacation in New York and they left you home because of school and your job.  It was the middle of the night and there was a giant storm outside just tearing through your city. It had woken you up and now you couldn't sleep so you decided to call Mason. You didn't exactly want to wake him up this late, but what were you supposed to do? You couldn't sleep at all because of that stupid storm. So after about a half hour of debating with yourself you gave in. And just as you feared you had  woken him up from his peaceful slumber and you immediately felt bad. You tried making him go back to sleep, but as soon as you said you needed him he was up and out the door.

*20 minutes later*

You decided to wait in the living room and watch a movie until Mason got there. Soon enough you heard his car pull up. You jumped up and walked to the door and there he was. He was soaking wet and he was still in his pajamas. You still felt so bad for making him come over at 3 in the morning with school starting in 4 hours.

"Hey Mason. Look, I'm sorry for making you come over this late."

You said as you 2 walked over to the couch.

"(Y/n), it's not a big deal. I'm happy to do it.  I was having a terrible dream anyway."

He always knew how to make you smile. He had left a change of clothes at your house so he had something to wear. You didn't want him to stay in his soaking wet clothes. You always knew deep inside that you loved Mason as more than a friend, but you could never tell him that. He was your best friend and you didn't want to jeopardize your friendship. Besides, he wouldn't like you like that anyway. In your eyes you weren't the prettiest girl ever, but little did you know that in Mason's eyes you were sheer perfection. 

So, you guys are sitting on the couch watching How I Met Your Mother reruns. Since it was raining outside it made you feel in a cuddly mood so you just climbed on Mason's lap. It was nothing surprising, you guys cuddled all the time. You straddled him (idk why that makes me giggle. Lol. I'm such a child.) and wrapped your arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around your waist. Now, rainy nights made you very cuddly, but also made you think. And sometimes when you think you get sad and Mason knew that. You had your head on his shoulder when you felt yourself start to tear up. You were just thinking about how everyone is so mean to you and how your so mean to yourself. Soon the tears were streaming down your face like a river. Mason felt the tears hit his shirt and knew exactly what was going on.

"Okay (y/n) no crying. Come on don't cry, please. I hate it when you cry."

He said as he rubbed your back trying to make you feel better.

"I just. You know how the rain makes me sad sometimes. It's no big deal, I'm fine."

You tried to force a smile, but you were too sad.

And as Mason looked into your eyes he said the most amazing thing you've ever heard.

"(Y/n) listen to me. I didn't exactly want to tell you this now because I didn't want to affect our friendship, but you mean more to me than you know. I hate it when your sad and I hate it when you say all these bad things about yourself. I want you to be happy and I'd do anything to make you happy because.."

"Because.. Mason?"

"Because I love you (y/n)."

You were shocked to say the least. The man you love has just told you that he loves you as well. You didn't know how to react at first. So you just said,

"Y-you love me?"

Mason looked nervous and maybe a little embarrassed, but really he had no reason to be.

"I do. I love you (y/n)."

And with that he kissed you. Your mind was a complete whirlpool. You finally comprehended  what was happening and you kissed him back. You two pull apart to catch your breath and you tell him your feelings. The feelings you've had since the first time he saved you in 3rd grade. The feelings that have gotten stronger and stronger with every passing year.

"I love you too Mason."

Mason wiped away your tears with his thumb and kissed your forehead. You placed your head back on his shoulder and he held you close to his body. You could feel your eyes getting heavier and within minutes you fell asleep. A little while later Mason realized you were asleep, grabbed the blanket that was behind him and draped it over the both of you. He lowered the tv volume and turned off the table side lamp.

That night you finally fell asleep in the arms of the man you love. And you both missed school the next day.
