(A/N: This oneshot was requested by Ivy9456. I hope you like it! The song in the title is a reference to the song of the same name by One Direction. I know I don't use modern songs usually but I just felt like this one fit lol Now, on with the oneshot!)
The silence of the library was a comfort after the day that I'd had. I sat on one of the couches near the back of the room with my favorite book, escaping into a different reality. I was trying to escape the situation I'd found myself in earlier today, if only for a minute. I cringed as I thought back on it, curling deeper into my boyfriend, Dean's, varsity jacket.
(Earlier that day)
I walked through the lunch line with my friend, Linda, as I grabbed a bowl of grapes to put on my tray along with the rest of my food. Linda was dating Dean's friend, Charlie, and we had the same lunch period so we'd been sitting together since the beginning of the year. We quietly chatted as we made our way to the end of the line. I made a grab for a brownie from the dessert section when I heard giggles coming from behind me.
I turned to see Louise and her cronies laughing at me from behind their hands. I sighed to myself and put the brownie on my tray before paying for my food. Louise had been somewhat of a bully to me since I started at Eden Hall, always talking behind my back and making fun of my weight. I tried not to let it bother me and most days it didn't. I held my head up high as Linda and I walked to our table and sat down.
We started eating while still chatting about the latest school events when footsteps sounded behind me. Knowing who it was, I didn't even turn around.
"Wow, Y/N, quite a lunch you have there." Louise said, her friends laughing along with her.
"Just ignore her." Linda whispered to me. I nodded but that didn't stop Louise from talking.
"If you keep eating the way you do, they're gonna have to widen the doorframes." Louise said.
Her words stung as I looked down at my tray. 'Am I really that bad?' I thought to myself. I knew I wasn't exactly a skinny mini like most of the girls I knew but I didn't think I was what Louise was saying. I pushed my tray to the side as Linda put a hand on my shoulder.
"How someone like Dean can even stomach kissing you is beyond me." Louise said sharply, going for the jugular.
I felt the tears come to my eyes and made a quick exit, not wanting to give Louise the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
(Present time)
I spent the rest of lunch time in the bathroom, crying my eyes out. Linda tried to comfort me but it was no use. I was able to pull myself together to get through the rest of my classes but was on my way to the library as soon as the final bell rang. I've been here ever since.
I felt the couch cushion next to me dip as someone sat down. I hesitantly looked up from my book but breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed who it was.
"Hey." I said, my voice small.
"Hey, babe." Dean said back, just as quietly. He snaked his arm around my shoulder and I leaned into his side. "How are you?"
I sighed again, this time in contempt. "Linda told you, didn't she?"
"Yeah. Well, Linda told Charlie who told me." He said, sheepishly.
"Great." I said, flatly. The last thing I wanted was for people to talk about it.
Dean squeezed my shoulder before wrapping his other arm around my waist, effectively trapping me in his arms. He buried his face in my neck and after a few seconds, I felt him start to place kisses there.
'How someone like Dean can even stomach kissing you is beyond me.'
"Dean..." I trailed off, Louise's earlier words coming back to me. He paused in his kisses but didn't pull his face away. "Don't..."
"Why?" He asked, his lips brushing my neck with the word.
"Because..." I trailed off again.
"Because of what that bitch said?" Dean asked, pulling his face away from my neck to look at me. His face was full of anger but not at me, I knew.
I softly nodded my head, tears coming to my eyes for what felt like the millionth time today.
"Aw, babe," Dean said, gathering me closer into his arms. "She is so full of shit! You know me. I have trouble keeping my hands off you." He nuzzled his nose into my cheek.
I let out a giggle, if involuntarily. "But...I know I'm not like the others..."
"Stop. You're perfect the way you are." Dean said, putting his finger under my chin to turn my head to face him. "I love you, Y/N."
"I love you, Dean." I said, smiling for the first time in hours.
He leaned in a brushed his lips against mine. I would have deepened it but the librarian came by and scolded us. Instead, Dean grabbed my head and dragged me out of the library. We spent the rest of the day snuggling on a couch in the common room, Dean peppering my face with kisses every once in a while.
