( WE'RE GROSS ) 
by bettys-babes

A smile fans across my face as a loud buzzer echoes around the football field. I hear the roar of the crowd around me. I move my eyes rapidly over the field trying to find Reggie Mantle. The dark haired boy had recently made it his mission to call me his girlfriend. A dozen roses in my locker and cute notes slipped into my pockets during class made it abundantly clear. We had gone on a few dates, and he was a perfect gentleman. Constantly making me laugh and telling awful jokes. The thing was, Reggie wanted me to be his girlfriend but he hadn't directly asked me. Boys and their pride.

I feel hands place themselves over my eyes, a slight squeal escapes my mouth, and everything around me go silent. I reach my hand up in an attempt to remove the hands from my eyes.

"Don't even try," Kevin Keller's voice resonates, simultaneously making me jump and swing my hand back down to my side. I feel fingers reach mine.

"Hi," Reggie says as he intertwines our fingers, "Can I get you to do something for me, Y/n?"

"Do I have a choice?" I ask him a smirk on my lips. I hear a chorus of laughs.

"Keep your eyes closed and let me lead you," Reggie says suddenly closer to me.

"Why? What are you up to, Mantle?" I question, keeping my eyes closed as Kevin removed his hands from my face. Reggie tugs me forward slightly, I was suddenly grateful that Reggie had asked me to sit at the bottom of the stands and not near the top. I follow him for a few moments before he stops us. He moves closer to me and wraps his arms around me embracing me in a hug that I return immediately.

"You're my best friend, L/N," He says softly before kissing my head softly. He takes a step away from me, linking our hands together. I resist the urge to open my eyes.

"And you're mine," I say a smile spreading across my face.

Reggie lets out a soft chuckle, "The thing is Y/n, I don't want to be just best friends with you anymore. I want to hug you all the time, I want to be with you all the time, I want to kiss you when I want, I want to spoil you, but most of all I want to call you mine."

"Can I open my eyes now Mantle?" I said, cocking my head to the side softly.

"I don't know if I want you to, honestly," He says laughing making me laugh.

"Well, I'm opening them now," I say, opening my eyes and then blinking rapidly to try and adjust to the amount of light.

When my eyes finally focus, my E/c come to rest on Reggie, fully decked out in his Bulldogs uniform. A nervous smile on his lips. I then jet my eyes past him and to the stands where there is an assortment of Reggie's teammates sprinkled around what seems to be randomly. Reggie steps to one side and each member of the football team picks up a different letter. Confusion swarms through my being. 

'Will you be my girlfriend?'

I turn around to face Reggie once all of the letters are held high into the air.

"You're so freaking cheesy," I say, a smile on my face.

"Only for you," Reggie winks. wrapping his arms around my waist.

I wrap my arms around his neck, "You didn't have to go to all this trouble. But, yes I will be your girlfriend." 

Reggie's smile widens and he dips his head down to join our lips down. Cheers echo around us as Reggie picks me up and spins us around. He sets me down and we break apart.

"Thank god," He lets out a laugh that makes me smile, "It would have been embarrassing if you had have said no." 

"You're such a loser, Mantle," I say bumping my shoulder with his. He lets out a laugh and hooks his arm around the small of my back. He presses his lips to the crown of my head, before tugging us forward. 

"Maybe so, but I'm your loser."

"You are aware that I would have been happy with just us at your place eating pizza right? you didn't have to go to such extremes," I say shyly.



Reggie opens the passenger car door for me and lets go of me so I can sit in it, "But I want nothing but perfect and extravagant for you." 



"We're gross," I say, making a disgusted face, my nose and eyes crinkling. He leans down and presses his lips to mine quickly before stepping away and closing the door. 



Yep, we're gross.
