Austin Butler imagines💙

Feelings

Request from katelyndoww 💕💕

You met Austin in high school and quickly became best friends. You spent countless hours together, laughing, talking, and sharing your deepest secrets.

Your school years came to and end..and you were the duo. Everyone knew Y/N and Austin.

But as the years went of and as you both got to know each other better, you started to realize that you had feelings for Austin that went beyond friendship..

However, you were too scared to tell him how you felt, fearing that it might ruin your friendship. You could barely look at him without imagining just running you up to him and giving him a big hug and a kiss.

Little did you know, Austin was feeling the same way about you. He had also developed feelings for you but was too scared to tell you for fear of losing you as a friend.

You were both scared of the same thing. That was just another thing you had in common.

School became a distant memory, yet Austin and you remained as close and childish as you were years ago. But there was something there..the tension between you grew stronger..you would catch each other staring at each other for a little too long, or you would brush hands and linger in the touch a bit too long..

You just wanted to tell him..so badly. Every night as you lay in bed you promised yourself the next day you'd tell him. But you never did.

You were in a cafe with him, you were waiting for him to come back from the bathroom. You sighed and picked at the skin around your nails nervously.

You needed to tell him. Before something happened that made it too late.

He came back at sat down.

"Look Y/N, I-"
"Okay Austin I can't-"

You both said at the same exact time.

"Sorry, you go." You chuckled.
"I..umm..wanna meet my new girlfriend?" He asked.

Girlfriend?

You were completely crushed. Imagined you had told him..and he was a girlfriend. For the sake of your friendship and his new relationship, you shut yourself up, but deep down, you couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy and sadness, although you knew it was wrong and you should be happy for his relationship.

"Girlfriend..wow..! Um..congratulations.." you sighed, plastering a fake smile onto your face.
"Yeah..girlfriend..is something wrong?" He laughed nervously. He knew you too well.. and he knew that fake smile.
"Wrong?" You questioned, laughing obnoxiously loudly. "No! No! Of course nothings wrong, don't be stupid!" You added, giggling fakely, and playfully hitting his arm.
"Okay..well..wanna meet her?" He asked.
"No thank you." You smiled.

You soon made up an excuse to leave after that because your eyes began to sting with tears.

Little did you know, (again), Austin started dating a girl to distract himself from his feelings for you.

When you got home, you cried. This is what you get. This is your fault for leaving it so late.

You tried to move on and started dating other people, but no one could compare to Austin. You missed the way he made you laugh and how comfortable you felt around him. You missed the way you felt when you were with him.

It made you grow apart. You'd avoid Austin at all costs in fear of ruining his relationship cause you wanted to be happy for him. You really did.

Austin on the other hand took every chance he got to try speak to you, but you'd respond with something dry, and not enthusiastic at all. You couldn't face him. You loved him.

And..his girlfriend originally was solely for distracting himself for you..but he had really fallen for her.

One morning, very early, Austin texted you.

Austin

Austin arrived at your house in floods of tears, and he came to you for comfort. And of course you had to be there for him. He's your best friend.

"Kayla broke up with me," He said, wiping his eyes. "Kayla broke up with me, you wont talk to me anymore, I don't know what I've done. Everyone hates me."

You hugged him.

"I'm sorry Kayla broke up with you." You said.
He sniffled. "It's fine."
"Austin I don't hate you.." you sighed.
"Well..you never talk to me anymore, we never hang out..I miss you.. you know?" He sighed.
"I didn't wanna stand in the way of your relationship." You said.
"Well I can't date anyone if they don't like you cause you're a part of my life. Always." He said.

You promised that day to never let anything stand in the way of your relationship. Ever.

You hug him again, this time longer. About 5 minutes. You missed his hugs.. but there was something wrong..you couldn't help but hope that this meant he was finally ready to admit his feelings for you.

But to your disappointment, he never did. Instead, he started dating someone else, and you knew that it was time to face the truth. You realized that you had been waiting for something that might never happen, and it was time to move on.

It was hard, but you knew that you couldn't keep waiting for someone who might never be yours. You slowly started to distance yourself from Austin, and although it was painful, it was the right thing to do.
