Bradley Simpson Imagines ☄

Something More.

You never thought anything was particularly strange about your friendship with Brad until you heard little comments people would make.

"So, are you two, like,dating now?" One of your friends asked you as she sipped through her straw, trying to intake as much alcohol as she could.

"Who?" You turned around to face her, confused to who she was even talking to... As far as you knew you were painfully single, and had been for many years.

"You and Brad!" She almost screeched so loud that you were sure he was going to hear from where he was standing at the bar, getting you both some drinks.

"No... Why?" You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. You had no idea why she would say that.

"Cause he was checking you out and said how gorgeous you looked. Plus he was kissing your cheek and jaw... Looked like a relationship to me." She muttered, sipping on her drink and looking away from you.

"That's just what we do... Flirt a little bit. Kisses on the cheek and jaw or even neck, mean nothing. It doesn't mean anything." You felt like you were having to defend yourself, which made you feel uncomfortable and start to over think your relationship with Brad.

You were just friends, who liked to share kisses on the cheek, cuddle all the time and flirt with each other... A lot. That wasn't so weird was it?

******

-As you were having your usual movie nights with Brad, cuddling on the sofa together, you lost interest in the movie and started staring out the window looking at the rain hitting against the glass.

"You bored?" Brad chuckled, looking down where your head was resting on his chest, pressing a kiss to your forehead and snapping you out of your thoughts.

"And cold." You confirmed. Brad's arms wrapped tighter around you before he completely let go off you and sprung off the couch, forcing you off him.

"What's going on?" You almost shouted out of shock as Brad ran through to his bedroom and appeared back in the living area a couple of minutes later.

"Wear this, it's super warm I promise." Brad grinned at you, handing you one of his Christmas jumpers which you absolutely loved on him.

"Thank you!" You returned the same grin before pulling the jumper over your head and immediately feeling warmer.

"Oh my god it is warm, I'm in love."

"With me, or the jumper?" Brad smirked, wiggling his eyebrows at you before laughing along with you.

"Both." You winked, although little did he know there was a truth behind your little joke. As much as you didn't understand people thinking you and Brad were in a relationship; you loved it. You loved the thought of having him all to yourself and getting to kiss him properly...

He probably was an amazing kisser.

You hadn't realised you'd dazed off into a daydream about Brad's lips until you heard him laughing and looking at you, which made you pay attention to him pretty fast.

"You always space out, what are you thinking about?" Brad asked, sitting back down on the couch where he was before and pulling you closer to him so you were in the same position as before.

"I dunno, a lot of things. I'm a mystery... You'll never know." You joked, giving him a wink.

"That's why I love you." Brad muttered, kissing the crown of your head as you laid your head on his chest. As much as you knew his feelings for you were just as friends that didn't stop you wishing it was something more. Constantly you wondered what it would be like to have Brad really, truly love you... To be in love with you.

"I wish." You murmured under your breath as soon as he started paying attention to the film again.

"What?" Brad's head turned from the TV to look down at you, even though your eyes were glued to the screen and there was not a chance you were going to take them off now.

"Nothing." You lied, the heat started rushing to your cheeks and you knew it was going to be a massive give-away that you were hiding something.

"You wish I loved you?" He asked, a slight smirk spread across his face.

"I do love you Y/N. I love you more than you'll ever know."

"Not in the same way I love you though Brad, I really love you... Like I think I'm in love with you type of I love you." You had no idea why you were spilling all your feelings; for all you knew it could have ruined your friendship with Brad and that was the last thing you wanted to happen.

You would rather just stay friends and have the 'complicated' relationship that you did than be nothing at all, which was what it was looking like was going to happen now.

"How do you know that's not how I feel too?" Brad raised one eyebrow as if he was waiting for you to answer his question.

"You're in love with me?!" You almost screamed it from the top of your lungs.

You moved your head off his chest and turned your whole body round to face him, sitting crossed legged on the couch.

"I'm so in love with you, Y/N." Brad confirmed, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand.

Without saying a word you lunged forward and pressed your lips against his. It wasn't a romantic kiss at all; you swear your teeth banged together due to him smiling at the time. You slowly pulled back and saw a massive grin come across his face, which you replicated.

Before anything was said he put his hand to the back of your neck and brought himself closer to kiss you again, this time deepening the kiss and sliding his tongue over your lips as if he was asking permission to make out with you.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." Brad sighed once you pulled away from each other.

"Why stop then?" You smirked, throwing your legs either side of him and pressing your hands to his cheeks to kiss him again. His hands went straight to your hips as he kissed you back.
