Younower Imagines

Wedding Crasher // Mario Selman

THIS IS OBVS SET IN THE FUTURE, THEY ATE OLDER.

"You look great, Mario" I smiled, fixing his tie so it could fall perfectly against his chest.

As my hands smoothed out the fabric, I let my mind wander away. I couldn't imagine how I would be knowing Mario has made a commitment to be with somebody who isn't me forever.

Just him being engaged was enough to make me cry myself to sleep some nights, asking why it couldn't be me. Why it never could be me.

It's like a fire in your chest that keeps burning you, telling you that you'll never be good enough.

It's a sting in your heart that makes you realize that the person you would die for wouldn't even think about saving you. You're just the person that's there, the person that they would go to when they don't have anybody else.

"Y/N ? Are you alright ?" Mario giggled, bringing me out of my trance, "You've been staring at my tie for ten minutes".

My cheeks flushed a bright red as I looked down, taking my hands away from the smooth fabric while mumbling a quiet "sorry", backing away so he can see the final look.

All the guys walked to the other side of him, catching his reaction at the man he will soon be becoming.

I couldn't bring myself to catch his reaction, knowing that the happiness that will appear on his face won't be because of me.

"Wow" Mario breathed, running his fingertips lightly over the tie, "I'm getting married. Guys, I'm getting married!" Mario smiled, running his long fingers through his hair.

Jovani went to hug him, giving him a small squeeze, this was to congratulate him. I've never seen the boys so excited for him, and it crushed me to know that I couldn't even act happy for him like they are.

I always try to hide myself, trying to escape telling him how "happy" I was.

My eyes became glossy as I took a quick glance at Julian. He was looking at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen in my life.

He had looked at me as if I had been lost and sick for months, and had no hope of ever finding my way back home.

Julian knew how madly in love I was with Mario. Julian was the only one who knew, in fact, and I wasn't the one who had told him.

Julian somehow had figured out my secret love for Mario. It was strange, knowing that one of Mario's "brothers" knew that I, his best friend, had this huge and undoubtable love for him, but as time went on, Julian actually helped me with my problems with Mario and his fiancè Rachel, and I couldn't thank him enough.

"I just can't believe that in one month, I'll be marrying the girl of my dreams. In one month I'll be making a commitment to stay with her forever. Gosh, guys, I always thought that this happiness was fake, but she made it real. My gosh, I just can't believe I'm marrying her" Mario breathed, showing off the biggest smile I've ever seen on him—a smile I could never be the cause of.

I felt a tear run down my face, and I quickly wipped it away, hoping none of the boys have seen it.

"Y/N ? What's wrong ?" Mario asked, taking short strides toward me.

I took a quick look at Julian, who nudged his head foward, giving me a symbol to tell him what was on my mind. I should tell him him.

I should just let everything out now before it was too late, before Mario is too out of reach for me to grab onto, but I can't, I can't take away that precious smile he was wearing.
