[PIN HAWTHORNE DRABBLE]

Based on the song "Feel" by Robbie Williams: I just wanna feel / Real love feel the home that I live in / 'Cause I got too much life / Running through my veins / Going to waste

A/N: I wasn't sure if I should make this full angst or hurt/comfort because the song has potential for both, maybe more for angst and I avoid writing full angst right now but I figured the hurt/comfort out eventually. And fun fact, this song was the first song in English I was obsessed with, heard this for the first time when I was 8yo and I ended up owning all the Robbie Williams albums which had come out by then. I hope you like it 💕

Pin looked at you talking with Marcus at the party, feeling a cloud of jealousy fall over him. Even though you hanged with Pin a lot, he couldn't help but look for signs that would show him that you'd have feelings for Marcus. You laughed so hard that there were tears in your eyes and Marcus wrapped his arm around you, making Pin feel even worse.

Why did you think they'd like you of all people? They can do so much better than you, a poor stable boy who most likely won't achieve anything in his life, his insecurities told him. Pin took in a deep sigh, watching Marcus lead you to the dance floor and begin jamming with you.

You had always described Marcus as your best friend, nothing more. And sometimes hope got the best of him and it definitely wasn't helped when Becky and Jade had fed it. Or Becky mostly, she had slipped quite a few times that you would like him as a more than just a friend, suddenly making you stutter and nervous, and Jade shutting Becky up but she still couldn't contain in a smile before hurrying away from the scene, Becky in tow. But Becky was a hopeless romantic, she could very well see something that isn't really there. Pin was latching on hope too hard.

Marcus was the heart stopper at the stables, almost everyone drooled after him, where Pin was just a stable boy at the background, invisible to everyone. He was just a regular worker.

But he just wanted to feel real love for once. But at the same time, he knew that it was too much asked, at least with you. So he sighed, prying his eyes away from you, putting his cup of juice down and making his exit. But he missed Marcus noticing it, making you turn around too, seeing a glimpse of his jacket as he disappeared behind the tassel curtain and you let go of Marcus immediately, hurrying after Pin.

It was already dark and chilly outside and you hugged yourself as you walked behind Pin. He turned his head to look over his shoulder, hearing your footsteps and scoffed, still walking away.

"Doesn't Mr. Perfect wait for you?" he exclaimed, and you blinked at him. You began to walk faster, reaching for Pin's shoulder and he turned around to face you.

"What do you mean? You know we're just friends with Marcus," you frowned, before it dawned to you. "You're jealous."

Pin swallowed, he didn't want his feelings for you to come out. At least not like this. He made a move to turn around again, but you grabbed his hand, making him stop. Pin slowly turned his gaze to your hands, and you swallowed. For a moment you thought he'd just pry his hand away, too much in emotion to listen to you, but he stayed in place, and you let out a breath of relief.

"Don't go." you mumbled. "I was supposed to confess my feelings to you tonight when the slow dancing part comes. But I can't do that if you go."

Pin searched your eyes for any sign of you lying, pitying him, but he found none. He felt his heart flutter, did you really like him? Had he been overly jealous and almost ruined everything because of the party?

You stared at each other for a moment, before Pin leaned in, pressing his lips to yours. The kiss was short but sweet, but you both felt like your hearts would explode. When you pulled away, you started to grin at each other.

"Sorry," he whispered, and you nodded, pulling him gently with you.

"Let's go back to the party."
