The Wonder Years imagines

Kevin Arnold

Your POV

"Hey Y/N, wait up!" I turned around to see Kevin running towards me. I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up. "How are you?" He asked out of breath.

"I'm very well, Kevin. How are you?" I responded back, laughing. He responded back that he was good and we continued walking. Kevin and I had known each other since we were eight when our dads became business partners and i've had a crush on him ever since but I always push it away because he has a girlfriend. Winnie Cooper.

"Oh yeah! Are you going to our dad's work thing next Saturday?" He asked.

"What work thing?" I responded but Kevin wasn't paying attention. "Kevin?" I followed his gaze to see Winnie and a boy I didn't recognise, holding hands. Kevin snapped out of his daze, looking heartbroken.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"Kevin, what happened?" I asked, concerned. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Winnie dumped me." I grabbed his wrist and lead him over to a park bench.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He shook his head and a single tear rolled down his cheek. "Aw Kevin." I pulled him into a hug. He hugged back and cried into my shoulder. This felt right. Us in each other's arms, I felt safe. After about a minute, he pulled away and wiped his tears from his face.

"You're really amazing, Y/N. Thank you so much." I looked down and smiled, knowing he only meant it in a friendly way. "Hey." He said quietly. He lifted up my chin with his index finger and we locked eyes. Oh lord, those beautiful brown eyes of his kill me. He grabbed my hand and began to lean in and eventually, I did too. Our lips met and the butterflies in my stomach erupted. After a minute or so we pulled away, out of breath.

"I really love you Y/N." Oh i've been waiting for him to say that for so long.

"What about Winnie?" I asked, not wanting to him to think of me as a rebound.

"Can we please forget about Winnie for a minute? She broke my heart. I don't care about her anymore. I only care for you. I always have and I always will."

"You've always cared for me?" I questioned, shocked.

"Yes y/n! Ever since I first laid eyes on you when we were eight, I-i've always felt something for you. You have no idea what it felt like to see you at our dads work gatherings and not ask you out but I was always convinced that you didn't feel the same way and also i'm very afraid your dad would've ripped my head off." He said, mumbling the last part. I laughed and fiddled with his fingers.

"You're not really scared of my father."

"No, but i'm pretty scared of you."

"Don't be." I cupped his cheek and leaned in once again. My hands went up to his hair and my fingers got tangled in his brown curls.

I couldn't have imagined a better night. Thank you Kevin Arnold for being the best thing that has ever happened to me.
