Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

I Chose You

Aris wasn't usually the jealous type. He tried not to be. After all, Y/N chose him. Not Thomas or Minho or Sonya or Harriet or B/F/N.

No. She chose him.

Lately though, it hadn't seemed that way. Not with how often she was with B/F/N. Recently the two girls had grown inseparable, admittedly pushing him to the side at the same time.

Grudges. Aris didn't like those either. He saw them as a disruption to his life and a way to hoard anger until it hurt someone. So he tried not to glare at the girl stealing his. Still, as far as he was concerned she had taken Y/N from him.

Y/N usually picks up on these things, but she has been so distracted hanging out with B/F/N that she didn't really notice. She didn't notice his folded arms or him clinging to her whenever he could or the change in attitude when her friend came around. For example, like right now.

Aris listened to her talk about her friend and what they did that day. All the while he just nodded his head and held his tongue. It was for the best.

When he was invited to hang out with them by the cliff though, he instantly declined. He wasn't sure how much of the duo he could sit through without actually getting sick.

“Why not?”She asked, absentmindedly running her fingers through his hair.

“I don't want to,”He mumbled, absolutely leaving out the reason.

“You usually do though.”

“Well, I don't want to come,”He repeated.

“Well, if you change your mind-”
“I won't,”He said firmly, his sharp tone catching her off guard and making her stop touching his hair. “Sorry,”He muttered, not looking at her.

“It's okay, love. We all have rough days.”

Rough day? No. He was having a rough week, and she didn't even notice.

Now though, she definitely noticed the way he was glaring at the ceiling.

“If you want I can stay home with you this weekend? It would be just you and I?”She offered.

“Just you and I?”He asked skeptically.

“Yes. Just us.”

“And nobody else?”

“Not a soul.”

“Not even B/F/N?”

“She's not you or I, so no.”

“You promise?”

“I promise.”

“Promise promise?”

“Yes, Aris. Why-”
Cutting herself off, she looked at the almost sour look on his face as his arms were still folded.

“Yes, my jealous boy. Just us.”

“I’m not jealous,”He quickly lied, trying to sound convincing. One actual, close look at him though, said everything that she needed to know.

“You should have said something. I would have stayed in with you sooner if you did.”

“I’m not-”
Glancing up, her genuine love and understanding in his eyes made him fold as he slowly nodded his head.

“If you just told me I would have absolutely spent time with you.”

“Sorry,”He quietly repeated.

“It's okay. You just need to talk to me more. Okay?”

“Yeah. Okay,”He whispered, turning on his side to look at her. With a small smile she was back to brushing his hair with her fingers, all the while looking at him like he was the only person to exist. With him looking right back, he had that exact same glint in his eyes.

“I’m in love with you, okay? No matter how many people I see, my eyes will always go towards you. My hands will always only hold yours. My lips will always only know yours. No matter how many people I talk to, I'll always only lie with you. I’ll always only run my fingers through your hair. I’ll always only cuddle with you,”She listed, placing her hand on his cheek, making him grin as he took in her touch. “I will always choose you,”She promised.

With that being all the reassurance he needed, he brushed his lips against hers for just a moment. Because just a moment was all he needed to feel those sparks on his skin, to feel his heart flutter in his chest, to feel his mind go fuzzy as he kept falling and falling and falling more and more in love.

“I love you, my sweet soul,”She promised, still holding his cheek in her hand.

“I love you too,”He said back, doing the same before nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck. Happily accepting the affection, she put her hand behind his head as she kept holding him close, still silently swearing that it was him. It always was and always would be him.
