Kit Connor Imagines

too much to ask

summary: you and kit are best friends. what you two have yet to figure out is what you truly feel about each other.

Y/n and Kit had always been the best of friends, ever since she could remember, or, to tell the truth: since they were 3 years old. Their dynamic had stayed the same since they were were kids, they rarely fought and everyone wanted to be like them.

That was until Y/n realised she might like her best friend as more than a best friend. Kit however, was oblivious to this, making her little crush painful for Y/n. Kit didn't seem to feel anything towards her, even when everyone told them they'd look fantastic together.

Considering that most people already thought they were dating each other, made it even weirder for Y/n that he didn't seem to notice.

While Y/n was occupying herself with stopping this crush on her best friend, he was facing the same situation.

She seemed to distance herself, which hurt Kit deeply. Not only because he had found a romantic liking in her, but also because of their great friendship. If he would tell her about these feelings, she surely wouldn't return them and their relationship would be ruined.

So here both of them were, suppressing their feelings while sitting on Y/n's couch, watching a movie. As friends. When the both of them were younger, she would always lay her head on his shoulder, napping there if the movie was bad. She didn't want to go too close to Kit, accidentally annoying him.

So she stayed in the same spot, a bit closer to him than to any other friend she had ever watched a movie with. Y/n could tell he wasn't paying any attention to the movie, probably long lost in thoughts. She didn't want to interrupt him though, so her final decision was to wait until the movie had ended and then snap him out of this trance.

However, long before the movie could finish, he moved his head to look at Y/n. "I'm never letting you pick out another movie, this is so boring." He frowns jokingly, making her laugh. "I'm sorry, but you didn't even start filming your show, what else am I supposed to watch?" She decides to joke along, pretending to sigh out in disappointment. "Hey, I'm leaving in like 2 days to film, so you don't have to wait that long anymore." He reminds Y/n, and she has to stop herself from frowning.

Y/n's POV:

He'd be leaving and probably meet a nice person he could date and I'd always stay his best friend.

I just pretend it was a joke and continue talking to him. Eventually, I notice him coming a little closer from time to time, my heart picking up on pace each time.

He probably just can't hear you.

I remind myself of the situation we both are in, and I take a breath, trying to calm myself. Kit doesn't stop inching closer though, and I can tell he's genuinely nervous by this.

I want to try and pull away, but I feel like I'm intoxicated by his presence, his brown eyes staring in mine and his familiar sent way stronger than any other time.

His nose is less than a centimetre away from mine and I can feel his breath on my lips. His eyes look on my lips and

Before I can react, we hear a knock on the door and Kit moves away from me. "Hey, do you guys wanna eat something? I made food." It was him mum, entering the room with a plate of sandwiches setting it in front of us. "Thank you so much, mum." Kit smiles, looking up to her before she leaves the room.

The movie is still playing in the background and I can hear him clear his throat before looking at me sideways. "We should probably continue the movie." It's all he says before we are wrapped in an uncomfortable silence, something we both weren't used to. It was either a comfortable silence, where no one felt pressured to talk, or, this was most of the time, we would talk until we ran out of things to say.

His eyes don't always stay on the screen, I can feel them occasionally landing on me, but I try my best to pretend it's nothing.

After what feels like an eternity to me, the end credits finally roll and Kit stops the movie. "So..." He starts off, but my phone stops him from continuing. It was the timer I had set so I could get home in time and I look up at him, apologetically.

"I have to go home now, sorry." I leave before anything else can happen, rushing out of Kit's house.

*time skip*

It has been almost 2 days since the last time I've seen or talked to Kit. He would be leaving later today, making this the last I would be talking to him in person for a long time.

I got dressed in a simple outfit, making my way to his house quickly. When I arrive, most of his family was already celebrating his new role.

"There she is!" His father exclaims, walking to me. "Kit, we'll miss you so much." One of his other friends says, laughing at him.

Kit and I talk for a while, mostly pretending the "incident" didn't happen. That's when he pulls me away from his group of friends and his family, searching for a more private setting.

"I wanted to talk to you about what happened the other day." He looks me dead seriously in the eyes, searching for a reaction. "Yes, what do you want to talk about?" I ask, shifting from one foot to the other. "I'm leaving today, but I wanted you to know that I've been having romantic feelings for you and I'm sorry if you're weirded out by this and don't want to be friends anymore, but I felt something the other day..." We are both silent after that I just look at him, before I decide to act after what he had just told me.

I move closer to him, and Kit's eyes which were focused on the floor, move to meet mine. I see a hopeful twinkle in his eyes, before I close mine, pressing my lips against his.

The kiss is sweet, and when people say they feel electricity when they kiss the first time I finally understand what they mean. It feels like there is only Kit and me, the rest of the world simply disappearing.

After our first kiss, I pull away, the feeling of something missing on my lips. "So you feel the same way?" He laughs and I playfully hit his chest. "Yes, I do."

It's the author here!
I don't know how I feel about this one, but I might make a second part.
Lots of love to all of you!! (:

(Also sorry again for the accidentally publishing the unfinished chapter)
