Florence Pugh One-shots!

Best friends

Male reader x Florence

Florence's POV

"Y/n heyyy how was the date?" I ask enthusiastically.

"Meh, it was OK... are you doing anything that could use the company?"

"For you, I'm always free."

The thing is Y/n have been friends since school, he's one of the nicest guys ever but he has the worse luck with girls, I don't understand, he's good-looking, funny, sweet, affectionate, and has great body...... ok, maybe I've had a tiny crush on him for years, but it's not reciprocated.

We kissed once after a night out years ago. I've never had e heart to tell him, what if it ruins our friendship?

I guess I'd rather have him in my life as a friend than not at all.

I head back to my apartment, waiting for y/n to arrive. When he does, he seems deflated.

"Hey." I get up hugging him tightly. His strong arms squeeze me more than usual.

"Everything ok?"

He nods "Yeah just, can we just watch a movie and order some Chinese food or something?"

I pull away "Yeah course! What do you want to watch?"

"You know what I wanna watch." He sits on the sofa.

"Again? really? but we watch it all the time." I fuss around, lighting a few candles.

"Yeah, and my wives are in it."

I sigh, getting a blanket and sitting on the sofa with him draping the blanket over us.

"You know when you're in a movie watching it nearly every week becomes a bore y/n."

"I'm sorry, but how often are Scarlet Johansson and Rachel Weisz in a movie together??"

I shake my head, laying it back.

I cuddle into his side as he wraps his arm around me.

"So, was it that bad?"

"She was nice, but there just was no zing, you know? like that wow moment."

I look at his face as it drops he's trying so hard and can't seem to find the right one.

"Aweh sweetie, come here." I sit up, pulling him onto my chest."

"Why can't I find anyone, Flo?" He buries his head in my neck as I cradle him close.

"I don't know... you're honestly such a great guy. I think you're amazing!.. Hey, do you wanna crash here tonight? I'll open a bottle of wine?"
Y/n nods before I get up and grab the wine with two glasses.

A few hours later and a bottle of wine we're still sat on the sofa discussing past relationship fails.

"Oh, remember that one guy, ahh, I can't remember his name. I just called him Chad!" Y/n laughs obnoxiously

Eww, I'd never date anyone called Chad. I hit his shoulder.

"Shut up! what about you!?"

"Oh yeah, my dating life is shocking!"

We both laugh and make fun of each other as we seemingly sit closer together.

"Hey Flo, would you think I was rude if I went to bed? I'm wiped."

I clear my throat. "Yeah, course, I'll clean up out here then come in."

Damn, I thought we were getting somewhere. I guess we are just friends.
