Judd Birch X Reader

No Way

Judd was quiet not making a sound. When I was fully in the room, I grabbed the plate that I was holding with my arm and closed the door with my foot. "I brought pizzaaaa." I said trying to cheer him up.

But when I brought up my gaze to him, he was laying in his bed with his back to me. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt that fit his body quite well and his jeans were the same. I set the plates down on his nightstand and sat in his bed.

"Hey... I know you may not wanna talk about it and I won't pry, but if you need or wanna talk I'm here." I softly placed my hand on his shoulder not getting a response. I took off my shoes and laid down next to him.

I laid there looking at the ceiling like I was doing this morning. "Her ex...." Judd said softly. I looked at him with a questioning look even though he couldn't see it since his back was to me. "What?" He rolled over onto his back and his face was slightly wet.

Around his eyes were red and his eyelashes were wet. "He showed up at the mall after we had lunch." He sniffled, not glancing at me at all. This was the first time I ever saw him like this. "She left to go say hi, saying that they ended on good terms. Next thing I know that bitch was making out with him."

I looked back up at the ceiling as he covered his face with his arm. "Fuck man, I'm so sorry..." I sighed and rolled over to face him. "Seems like they ended on more than just good terms..." I tried mocking her, even though I didn't know her voice.

Judd moved his arm down and gave me a slight chuckle. "You got that right..." I just laid there looking at him, slowly bringing my hand up and wiped the single tear that was falling down his face. "That whore doesn't deserve to be cried over like this... Okay?"

He continued to look at the ceiling, not replying. "Look; I'm really sorry your date went wrong, but you definitely deserve way better than that..." I said softly, placing my hand on his arm. "I'm saying from experience... Hell, you should know..." I said to him with a soft smile.

"You always comforted me with my shitty break ups, horrible dates, even with the little shit that made me upset... Now it's my turn to return the favor." I slowly sat up and looked at him, this time he was looking at me. "Let's eat this pizza and I can go downstairs and grab some snacks... We can watch horror movies until we pass out..."

I smirked weakly. "Of course when you want to, I won't rush you at all. For my sake though, imma eat. I'm fucking starving." I grabbed my plate and started to eat. He just continued to lay there with his hands over his torso as he stared at the ceiling.

"How can I eat when you didn't get me a drink? How do you expect me to eat without my diet Dr. Kelp?" He looked at me, smirking softly. I looked at him and smiled softly. I didn't think he would quote SpongeBob, like ever.

"I'll be back with some drinks, don't go anywhere." I got up and made my way to the door. "Also don't touch my food, I don't know where your fingers were today." I teased him as I walked out, rushing to the kitchen to get us drinks.

I got him a cup of coke and myself (drink of choice). I made my way back upstairs, but I noticed that we seemed to be alone. I shrugged it off and just went back to his room. I opened the door and walked in, placing the drinks on his nightstand.

He turned over and propped himself up on his elbow. "Thanks..." He said softly as I handed him his plate. "It's no problem really." I replied and sat back down to eat, telling him we were the only ones there. He just gave me a small nod.

We ate in silence as he wasn't in the mood to talk; and I didn't want to pry it out of him. He then cleared his throat after a while. "Do you think I'll ever find the one?..." I looked at him with a soft gaze. "Of course. I feel like everyone will find the one someday; whether it's today, tomorrow, five years from now or maybe the person is right in front of them and they don't know."

I paused for a moment, shrugging. "Why?" I continued to eat, awaiting his answer. "I don't know..." He sighed. "Even though I act and look like an asshole, I feel like I can't be loved..." I swallowed my bite and placed my hand on his arm. "Look, everyone can be loved. Hell even Charles Manson found the one."

Judd looked me in the eyes and I gave him a kind smile. He never looked away and I felt my face getting hot. I averted my gaze, looking at my plate of pizza. "Look, I think everyone deserves love... Even if they're an asshole." I said softly messing with the crust of my pizza.

I could still feel his gaze on me as I felt the bed shift. I could tell from my peripheral vision that he had sat up. I stayed looking down, but I felt a hand touch my face and lift my head up. We locked eyes and I saw a smirk appear on his face.

Judd looked down at my lips as he inched closer. Holy shit, this can't me happening. My heart was racing and it felt like time was going in slow motion. I couldn't help but lean in as well, slowly closing my eyes.

Our lips were inches apart and soon I could feel his breath on my lips. I had relaxed and placed my hand on his thigh. We were just moments away from locking our lips. I've wanted this for so long and I can't believe it was actually happening.

"Holy shit, no fucking way!"
