Nico x Reader x Leo || Friend Zoned

(A/N  WHO IN HERE HAD BEEN FRIEND ZONED?? WELL NOT ME THOUGH >.< LOLS)

*Nico's POV*

It had been years since I'd confessed my feelings for (Y/N), my bestfriend. I wish I shouldn't have told her—because of that, I got friend zoned. She was inlove with another guy named Leo. And unfortunately, Leo was also my bestfriend. Yet I should be happy, I should be happy for them. I wasn't the guy who could easily forget the pain he felt—I was the guy who wanted to move on but just couldn't.

For once in my life I wished I didn't like (Y/N) at all. It's just that...seeing both of them together, loving each other made my heart broke into pieces.

The three of us had been friends for a very long time. We've been together since seventh grade...

"NICOOOOOO!" Warm hands wrapped around my neck, and then I could feel (Y/N)'s voice near to me. I just realized that she was hugging me, which sent chill down my spine, heat rising up my cheeks. We were then at the same class in eighth grade. "Nico! I'm so happy to know that we're both in the same class!" She squealed.

I tried not to look behind, cause I got the feeling our noses would touch...or something more than that...

"Really?" I said happily. I felt so much happiness that time. It was like a sign of destiny.

"Uh-huh," she nodded. "And Leo too!" She laughed happily.

My stomach twisted.

I thought...that...

(Y/N) let go and sat infront of me. "Hey, you went silent...you okay??" She asked with the most beautiful smile on her face. I didn't know that I had been staring at her for a very long time.

"DUDE!"

My face had got into reality as someone snapped his fingers infront of me. I blinked fast and stood up, seeing (Y/N) also standing up with him.

"Hey dude, you alright?" Leo said. I stared at them, suddenly... I could see them holding each other's hands. "Hey, dude!"

I startled. "I...uh...um uh...I—" I blinked. I realized they weren't holding each other's hands at all. I closed my eyes, and breathed. For a while they were looking at me. I couldn't believe it... I just...ran away...

I entered the restroom, closing the door and looking at myself at the mirror. I breathed heavily, resting my hands on the wall. I stared...

Maybe I could...cut my long hair???

***

The next day, I got the feeling of trying to confess my feelings for (Y/N). I knew there's no harm in trying. There's...nothing wrong with it, right?

I went to school early, hoping that I could talk with (Y/N) alone. Leo and I were almost late most of the time at school, and for the record, (Y/N) was always 30 minutes early before the actual time.

I entered the hallway, seeing (Y/N) doing something on her locker. There were no people, and the empty hallway had probably made the two of us look like silhouettes along the dim, quiet hallway. I sighed and walked towards her, shouldering my backpack. I breathed...

"Um...(Y/N)?"

She closed her locker and faced me. As she looked at me, her eyes widened. "N-Nico? Is that you?" She smiled with her teeth.

(A/N  I GOT THIS FROM GOOGLE SO YEAH I DON'T OWN IT)

I blushed, looking down. "Is it...okay?"

"Yes, it is! You look very cool," she smiled, shoving me.

"T-thanks," I muttered, looking at her with my eyes. She was so close to me that I could feel so light.

"Hey," she let go. "You're early today."

"Um, yeah..." I scratched my head.

"What made you come so early anyway?"

"Well uh... I came here to uh... T-talk to you..." I gulped.

"Oh," her smile disappeared. "Talk about what?"

"Um..." I felt so uncomfortable. I was definitely hesitating that time, that I didn't know whether I would tell her or not. But if I didn't, I would've been an idiot.

"What?" She asked.

"(Y/N) I..." I stammered. I blinked hard and looked away. "I like you."

I waited. For a response.

"Nico?"

I turned around, facing her. "Nico I..." She looked down.

What is it? What is she gonna tell me? I thought instantly. I could feel a sign of hope, that she would like me back.

"I'm...sorry..." She exhaled, looking at me.

Wrong.

I felt a pang of regret inside me.

Right now I felt tears coming out of my dark and lonely eyes.

"Sorry," I repeated.

"Nico, you're just...a friend to me," she tried to take my hand, but I put my hand away. I ran away as fast as I could. Tears rolled down my cheeks. "I love someone else...Nico...I love Leo...and that's all..."

Leo. My bestfriend. No.

I ran... I ran deeper into the darkness. It's like...conquering me...

"NICO!"

That, was the last time I heard her voice...

That memory hurt me...a lot. I couldn't forget it. But I just wanted to. But I couldn't. Damn it.

Someday I wish, that I could see her again...

Friend zoned... I guess...I'm not the right guy for her after all.

"Nico?"

I stopped, slowly turning around. I couldn't believe that I just saw...

"(Y/N)?" I stared wide eyed at her. She cried, suddenly running towards me, and then enveloping me to a hug. "I...miss you..."
