hallway crush | tighnari x reader

it was only a few days into the new school year and although you had a decent understanding of where to go, you still had to check the map every now and then to make sure you were going to the right class. going from period 2 (english) to period 3 (environmental science) was the longest route to take and you grumbled when you traced the route on your phone.

flash forward a few weeks and everyone, including you, had created a path for themself as they went from class to class as if it was a well-timed subway station. now, you could look up and see the people who passed you as they walked in the opposite direction.

he didn't catch your eye immediately, but you took note of what he was like, having found a small interest in him. his fashion sense was cute, with a bright colored sweater layered over a dress shirt and a nice pair of trousers. his interesting hair had also made you choose to keep an eye on him. you knew who he was from last year, as he was in the same grade as you, but you had never really talked to him on an intimate level.

they said he was super kind. and talented with sciences. well, they said he was smart in general. you could kinda recognize him from pictures your school posted whenever a student did something praiseworthy.

the day after that, you double checked your appearance in the reflection of a trophy display. you saw him and tried to keep a cool expression, trying to look natural. from out of the corner of your eye, you could see that he was wearing a beanie this time.

were beanies always that cute?

as the days turned into weeks, you kept trying to look nice for those brief seconds when you would be in his range of vision while simultaneously sneaking looks at him. even if those moments were short, you could feel your face heating up afterwards.

one day after school, you went to visit the library with a friend of yours. you saw him there, looking as adorable as always, but he was with a green-haired girl. you didn't know what her name was either, but it raised a question that you had never considered. was he even single?

your friend seemed to know him and waved at him saying "hi tighnari," prompting him to wave back at her with a short "hey!"

so that's what his voice sounded like. his voice was as cute as him. and his name was something you could have sworn you heard before somewhere else.

you tried your best to not appear flustered with the flurry of emotions you were being hit with and maintained a smile as you pointed to a table that was nearby enough to snoop. not that you were going to, but just because you wanted to glimpse at him every now and then while studying.

upon closer inspection, those two didn't look that close. maybe you could shoot your shot in the future if you ever gained the confidence for it.

that night you did a little bit of stalking on the internet about who he was. he seemed to have been extremely involved with the science clubs and environmental clubs. you found his snap as well, but felt too awkward to do anything with it. you turned off your phone and decided it'd be better to leave it.

your period 2 english teacher decided to let you out early that day as a way of showing her "kindness" and you rushed to your period 3 class. you checked your appearance in your phone, touching up your hair and checking your shirt for any wrinkles. as soon as the bell signifying the end of the period rang, you walked outside of your environmental science class.

what you didn't see was tighnari walking out of that very classroom and nearly bumping into you.

you apologized, making sure that he seemed alright and he reassured you that he was more than fine. now that you were looking at him, he was taller than you thought. but since the two of you were right outside the door, he left and you retreated inside, heart racing.

you bit your lip, wondering if you just totally messed that up and replayed the scene over and over in your head during your class.

realizing you missed some of your notes while being lost in thought, you cursed. you'd probably have to ask one of your other friends to let you copy the notes during lunch.

when lunch came, you went to where he generally ate instead of where you usually went with your friends in hopes of getting the notes.

however, tighnari was also there, sitting with him.

you froze on the spot, still a few yards away from them. should you approach them with smiles and waves since you knew a decent amount? or should you not pay attention and just get the notes to keep an aura of mystery?

"kaveh! can you let me copy your environmental science notes? i missed a few lines," you called out once you were within range.

he pouted, but let you copy them nonetheless and you took a seat next to him. which also happened to be next to tighnari.

"you're gonna study with me for the next test, right y/n?" kaveh interrupted you as you copied down the notes.

you almost wanted to hug him for the smoothest name drop ever.

"sure, but when's the test again? my mind has been scrambled all day."

a soft voice spoke up from your left. "the test's this friday. i could give you a study guide if you want?"

"oh thanks!" you tried to keep your voice from going unnecessarily high pitched from excitement. "i'd love to get a study guide, thank you!"

"no problem!"

you sent him your email, seeing that the study guide was made with his personal one. wow, even his email was cute.

"you're gonna share that with me too, right?" kaveh asked from your right.

what a way to ruin the moment. but you realized you had finished your notes and you probably should get back, even if you wanted to stay next to tighnari for longer.

"thanks for the study guide," you said again as you got up from your seat.

that night, you couldn't fall asleep as you replayed the images in your head again and again. you hid your face behind the pillow, wondering if you had done anything embarrassing or if kaveh had said anything about you that you told him to keep between them. was tighnari interested in you? you heard from lots of people that he was really nice, so maybe he was like this to everyone. out of stress, you checked the study guide and was relieved to see that it was only shared with the other guys in his friend group and you.

you squealed. maybe you had a chance. maybe you could go from hallway crush to something more.
