conrad fisher imagines

how it all started

conrad fisher and i have pretty much known each other our whole lives. our mothers have been friends for longer than we have lived and it's like a tradition for me, my mother, and brother, steven, to vacation with conrad, jeremiah, and their mother, susannah, at a residence on cousins beach. i looked forward for the summer every year just to see them but something about the tall older brother always fascinated me.

even when we were kids he would watch and take care of me as if i was his little sister. it kind of bothered me though since i always had a thing for him. i would overhear my mom and susannah talking about how amazing it would be if i ended up with one of her boys. i wasnt sure if it was them pushing this idea into my head or if it was actually me feeling things for him but now i know.

last summer was really when things got real for me. as some say it was the summer i turned pretty and overall boys had grown a much stronger attraction towards me. i like to think that conrad wasn't like them... he just never came off as someone who really changed how they saw me that summer. if anything we were just growing up and that's how growing up is you know... the weird hormones and shit. i would catch him staring and he would occasionally compliment me on little things that no one else noticed. the tension escalated when he would start getting upset if i was out too late alone. it sometimes came off a little controlling, but i could tell he just wanted me to get home safe.

one night i went to go for a swim before bed. i walk outside to the pool area and sitting on the edge of the pool was none other than conrad smoking what looked to be a blunt. "hey y/n what are u doing up so late?" he says blowing out the smoke he had just inhaled. "i just needed some fresh air... you don't mind if i-" he cut me off "no you're good" he shook his head looking off into the distant beach. i couldn't help but notice something was on his mind.

i put my towel down on a chair and get into the pool. i adjust to the temperature and plug my nose before pulling myself under. i swam to the 6 ft side where conrad was until i touch the floor which is when i jump back up. i push my soaking hair back from my face and turn to conrad, admiring him. he always looked good but right now he looked absolutely perfect, something about the pool water reflecting onto his skin and his hair blowing slightly in the wind. he is just so effortlessl- we make eye contact and i realize i was staring the whole time. he smirks "are u ok?" "no- ya um.." i try to find something else to say to distract from the fact he just fucking caught me staring. "i thought u didn't smoke?" i say out of no where. "a lot has changed" he says looking into the water. "what do you mean? i just remember you be really against stuff like that." i say trying to justify what i said. "i mean that a lot has changed since u were here last year" he repeats.

i look at him in confusion for a few seconds before i start laughing from the way he was looking at me."what's so funny y/n" he says smiling "your face" i say squinting before starting to laugh again. it was like i had ignited something in his head and before i knew it he was in the pool dragging me under the cool water. before i ran out of air i jumped up to the surface with a fat smile on my face. "CONNIE U COULDVE DROWNED ME" i yell even though he knew i wasn't mad for real. "ok well next time u say that i will." he states. i roll my eyes and look down at my nails i had gotten done the day before. i noticed that the nail on my middle finger was bleeding and looked like it was abt to come off. "oh my god u broke my nail" i say lowkey making it more dramatic than it was. conrad swims closer to look at it. he looks back up at me "fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to-" "it's fine it's not even that bad." i say knowing damn well that shit was starting to hurt. "are u sure" he asks. i squeeze my finger and look back at him nodding. he was so close to me. the tension was building as we just stare at eachother. it felt like forever staring at the beautiful boy in front of me in silence. it wasn't one of those awkward silences though, it was pretty comforting. i smirk a little before breaking the eye contact and looking back at my nail. he lifts my chin up and moves his head closer. my heart was beating so fast, i was afraid he could hear it. he closes the gap between us and places a gentle but passionate kiss on my lips. i back away quickly in shock. "shit i thought that-" he says worried but i relax and interrupt him. "no it's ok... do it again" i say with the biggest smile on my face and leaning back in.
