A Twist of Fate || Tommy x Reader (HIATUS)

Aaron POV:

I still had feelings for her. No matter how hard I had tried to push them away, they were always going to be there.

When she said she had liked me, my heart soared and then plummeted as soon as she said she didn't have those feelings anymore.

I could try to convince myself that she was just hiding her feelings for me just like I had for her.  But who am I kidding? I hear the way she talks about him to her streamer friends when she thinks I'm not listening.

I can hear the giddiness in her voice when he answers her calls, or the way her eyes light up when she sees him calling.

I wanted to be happy for her, but I couldn't get her out of my head.  The way that she smiled whenever she played the piano, how red her face got when I complimented her, and just how happy she made me.

I could tell she liked him, even if she didn't know it yet.

(Okay I'm sorry y'all! Don't hate me please!!!!)

Your POV

"Aaron?"  I asked, snapping my fingers in front of his face.  He snapped out of his daze and looked at me.  "You good?"  I raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for a reply.

He cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm good. I'm gonna go pack for the uh, trip. You know, essential stuff."  He had gotten up from my bed at this point and was just rambling.  He turned and almost fell out of my bedroom door.

"Okaaaay... are you sure you're fine?  You're being weird."  I told him.  He was being weird.  He never acted like this.  Sure, he was a little weird sometimes but never stumbled over his words or tripped over nothing.

"No yeah I'm fine.  Just a little tired, and you know, excited!"  He shouted the last word making me flinch.

"Okay, Aaron.  Maybe take a nap or something."  I said.

He nodded and walked down the hallway.  I heard the guest room door close and almost immediately, Drista strutted into my room.

"He likes you, you know that?"  She told me with her hands on her hips. 

"He does not Dris!  How could you say something like that?"  I scolded.

"Dude, c'mon."  She said incredulously,  "I heard that entire conversation and the not so subtle disappointed, 'oh'  from lover boy.  He obviously had feelings for you y/n."   She told me folding her arms and staring me down.

Suddenly my phone started ringing.  I sighed with relief when I saw it was Tommy.  "Get out please, I have a phone call."  I told my sister before answering.  "Fine, but he still does like you and I know you have feelings for him too.  Don't even try to deny it."  She smirked and walked out of my room, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she turned to walk down the hallway.

I sighed and answered the facetime.  I knew my face was bright red, so I pointed the phone towards my ceiling.

"WOMAN, SHOW ME YOUR FACE!"  Tommy shouted through the phone.

  I laughed and responded with, "ABSOLUTELY NOT BITCH BOY."  

"y/n, it's called face time for a reason.  You show your face."  He told me with a slightly less shriek like tone.

"Yeah, but today it's called ceiling time."  

"You're impossible."  He laughed.

"I thought we had gone over this already Tommy.  If I look like shit, you don't get to see my face.  It's just chivalry, good sir."  I said matter of factly.

"See that's the thing, you never look like shit.  you're perfect."  He told me.

"Well, I can't argue with that genius statement."  I said with a laugh.  

He grinned.  "So does that mean you're gonna show me your face now?"  The eagerness in his voice was enough to make me laugh again.

"Nope.  You're just gonna have to go without looking at my gorgeous face until the trip."  I told him.

"Ugh, c'mon y/n!  Please!"   He begged.

"Nope, I'm committed now.  Calm yourself Tommy, it's only four more days."  I told him.  

And that's when I realised.  Four days until I could see Tommy.  That was four days of insane anxiety and fear that he wouldn't like me in person.  What if I was too tall or too short, I my hair wasn't long enough or the right color.  

What was happening to me?  This blonde man child was driving me insane with feelings I didn't understand, and I had no idea why."

"y/n, are you okay?  You went silent for a while."  

"I'm okay.  Just thinking."  I told him.

"About what? Anything interesting?"  He asked.  I bit my lip debating on whether or not to tell him what I was thinking.

"Nope.  Just wondering if I forgot to pack my eyelash curler.  I remember packing it now."  I felt guilty for lying to him, but I didn't want to weigh his shoulders down with my problems.

"That's so boring why would you tell me that?"  

"Bro you literally asked!"  I yelled. 

"What... did you just call me?  Did I just, did you just bro-zone me?"  He asked with a shocked expression on his face?

"Maaaaybe."  I said while putting my hand over my mouth to stifle the giggles.  His jaw dropped.  "I can't believe you just bro-zoned me."  he rubbed a hand down his face.  "I'm never talking to another woman ever again."

"No, no no no!  I'm sorry Tommy!  I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it.  You're definitely not like a brother to me."  I said it on impulse.  But, for some reason, I didn't regret it.  He meant so much to me, and I wanted him to know that.

Surprisingly, I didn't even blush.  I looked back down at my phone and saw that Tommy was bright red.

He cleared his throat.  "Well... You mean a lot to me too y/n."  

"Well there would be something terribly wrong if I didn't."  I said with a smirk.  I knew he couldn't see me but I felt that it added to the comment.

"PAHAA, You're impossible!"  He laughed.  I pulled my hair up.  "Oh I know.  That's what makes me so irresistible."  I said with a grin.

"This is true."  

I froze.  He thought I was irresistible?  No of course not.  We were just joking around.  

"I have to go y/n.  Mum's calling for dinner." He said, sounding a little more than disappointed.  I was disappointed as well, but I chose to ignore it. "It's all good.  I should probably go eat something as well."  

We said our goodbyes and I hung up.  

I sighed and flopped backwards onto my bed.  I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it.  What was happening with my feelings?  They were all over the place.  I didn't know if I still had feelings for Aaron, and I had so many mixed feelings towards Tommy.  This whole situation was driving me insane.

I groaned and rolled out of bed deciding to actually go get food like I had told Tommy I would.  The whole way downstairs, I felt like the world was crashing down on me.  Had I potentially ruined my friendship with Aaron because I admitted to liking him?  Is that why he had been acting so strange?

I went into autopilot.  Lost in my own thoughts.  I didn't even realise that I was back in my room with a bowl of cereal until Aaron burst through my door, breaking me out of my haze.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trip coming up I promise!  This is going super slow but it'll get quicker once I get the fillers over with. ;)

As always, drink water, eat something, and have an amazing morning/day/night.
