~Male crush x male reader~ BOOK ONE!!!

...and switch! (fluff)

Y/N POV:

"Alright, just double checking before we go inside, C/N. We got everything while we were at the store, correct?"

"Correct."

"Paint, canvases, paper towels, paper plates, paint brushes, and a mini fan to help the paintings dry?"

"Check, check, check, check, check, and check. We've got everything."

I give a satisfied nod to C/N, unlocking my parked car and stepping out at the same time as C/N. Seeing that he's holding the bags of our supplies, I lock the car, taking out the key to my apartment. He stands behind me as I unlock my door, stepping aside to give him room to go in first. After I'm fully inside, he & I slip our shoes off next to my door and go into my dining room.

C/N grabs my large roll of paper from one of my closets and begins laying some on the top of my table, in an effort to avoid any mess making. I grab my scissors from my kitchen and cut the paper at the appropriate length, helping him to put out another layer of paper to put on top of this one, except going the other way. 

"When did you come up with this idea, Y/N?"

"I've seen a bunch of videos about it, so I thought I'd try it out. You and I both like painting, so I'm sure this will be fun for both of us."

C/N nods, grabbing the canvases and putting one on each side of the table. In the meantime, I decide to prepare the paint & paint brushes. I grab a couple of paper plates from my kitchen counter and put one on each side of the table, next to the canvases. As I go to prepare the paint brushes, I see that there are already some sitting by each canvas & paper plate, making me realize that he already did that part for me.

"Thank you, baby. That's really sweet of you."

"You're welcome, love."

With that part already done, I grab the bag again and pull out our different bottles of paint, putting them in a line between our canvases so they're all within our reach. 

"Okay, C/N, go ahead and start pouring the colors you're going to need to start with onto your plate."

C/N nods, grabbing a couple of them and beginning to pour out small amounts onto the plate closest to him. I follow suit, doing so with different colors that I know I'll need. As I continue picking my colors, he pulls his phone out and opens his clock app, opening the timer section. He puts the phone between us, grabbing a paint brush and putting a bit of white paint on it. 

"Five minutes, you said, Y/N?"

"Mhm, five minutes."

He puts that amount on the timer and puts the phone back down, waiting for me to be ready before hovering his finger over his phone screen in preparation.

"Alright, Y/N... One..."

"Two..."

"Three..." 

C/N and I both look at one another with wide grins and speak up at the same time. 

"Go!"

He starts up the timer immediately after. I grab one of my paint brushes and begin painting at the same time as him, grinning widely. I, first, start on the ground part, using my green to put as the base color for the grass and other parts of the ground. I use my pinky finger to scratch the tip of my nose before starting to paint again. I stop moments after, though, when I start hearing his laughter from across the table.

"What's funny, baby?"

"You got a bit of green paint on your nose."

C/N, then, reaches over to me and uses his thumb to gently swipe green paint from my nose, making me giggle. He wipes the paint off using the paper under his canvas before picking up his paint brush and beginning to paint again. I go back to doing the same, occasionally looking up at him in adoration as he continues to work on something I know he's passionate about.
