Avoid you (Tanner)

Tanner's pov:

It's been a few weeks now and still I can't look at (Y/n) normally. I'm avoiding her. If she will see me without the hat... I'm screwed. It wasn't bad, when I was thinking about why I did that. I remember my hair falling in the bathtub, I remember agreeing for this, I remember thinking of supporting cancer fighters. I didn't care about what people were thinking. I even kinda like it... since then. When she joined the studio. And now I hate IT, I feel weird. It started bothering me that people were looking at me. And I can't stop thinking that I can't make an impression on her. Mainly because of how I look.

(Y/n)'s pov:

I feel so bad, when I see my crush, Tanner, avoiding me. What have I done? I was really trying to not do anything stupid. Once I heard him pleading Matthias to put me in the other base, the blue one. I felt really bad - why is he so mean? I sat at the table in orange base and waited for Matthias to come and tell me to move out. Matt came down and somehow forced Tanner to go with him. He's always wearing this hat... I swiped away a tear that ran down my cheek.

Tanner was looking at me the entire time, but I was ignoring it. I nodded to everything Matthias said and soon I was walking out with all my bags. On my way to the new base I looked behind my back and saw Tanner, glued to the glass, making sad eyes. I gave him the saddest glance I could, my eyes practically were screaming "why are you like that" at him. I turned back again to make sure I could hide myself and my sorrow.

It's been few weeks, I work in blue base now and I'm James' #1 assistant. Once we were boring in the office we played truth or dare with Josh, Kevin and Jen. One of my dares was to kiss Kevin on the cheek. I was ok with it, until James posted it on instagram. I had to bend over backwards to get his phone, got at the comment's section and Tanner... was freaking out in jealousness.

I headed straight up to the orange base. Firstly he avoids me like a fire, then he seduces me with puppy eyes, then he kicks me out of my base and now he's jealous. Wtf? I violently got in, Patrick looks up from his phone and freaks out as he sees me, setted up in the aisle, fire in my eyes.
"Where's Tanner?"
"Upstairs...?" he says through squeezed throat. I took my bracelet off and put it down on the table as I felt like I was going to punch the wall, 'cause I didn't want any piece of it stuck in my wrist. I headed upstairs only to see Lis and Robert, who was about to go downstairs. So did I as Tanner wasn't there.

"Hey, (Y/n). You need something?" Rob asked sweetly.
"I was looking for Tanner."
"Uh, he always teleports around the orange base." he giggled.
"Yeah, I noticed." When the stairs ended and our dialogue finished I kept looking at Robert until I get to the table.
I grabbed for my bracelet that was on it, but then some other hand comes up to my field of view. I look up to see Tanner with bag from Taco Bell. Somehow I feel all the anger just slipping away. I don't get it though - I was mad BECAUSE OF HIM.

"Here." He put the bag down and sticked his hand out with my bracelet. I smiled slightly and reached to grab it, but then his hands slipped under my wrist and started to put it on for me.
"Let me help you." he started tying the bracelet, I was just standing there, frozen. He was actually kind to me... where did that come from? I thought he hated me.
"I'm sorry, Tanner."  I forced myself to say that. I bet he was expecting a "thank you."
"F-for what?" he asked confused, he also seemed little scared.
"If I did something that you're avoiding me." he sighed and his hand landed on my shoulder.
"It's not your fault. I just can't help it." he tried passing me, his face turning red. I grabbed his sleeve.

"What if I can somehow?" he turned back to me, not saying a word. He tips hat and I can tell he was about to take it off, but he hesitated; he looked scared.
"I did something that wasn't bad until I met you." I looked at him, confused. "I'm avoiding you, not because I don't like you, vice versa, but because I'm... embarrassed with myself. I hoped I wouldn't do anything that you'd hate me for."
"I don't hate you, Tanner." I cut in, he's eyes filled with hope.
"Even after I kicked you out of the office for basically no reason?"
"I was too confused to hate you." I giggled. So he did. As he said 'vice versa' the sparkle lit up in my heart again. Maybe... he actually likes me.?
"But now I decided sth - no more hiding nor avoiding. I want you to see me in the daylight." I nodded, slightly disconcerted. His voice was shaky. "Take my cap off."

*dream in flashback*
I'm not sure if I was ready. No, I wasn't. I let her take my hat off. I felt glance of the entire world on me. I felt like I got unmasked and my true self was revealed. I couldn't look up at her. "You're... bald." she said. And I knew it was the moment, when she started hating me forever.
*end of dream*

I practically jolted out of the bed. I probably screamed, because Gunner came from the other room. He was bald too. For a moment I perceived that as a nightmare.

Gunner's pov:

"Dude, are you okay?"
"No."
"What happened?"
"I'm bald, this happened."
"But... you had no problem with that before." he just growled into the pillow.

It's been 2 days since we both shaved our heads to support people that are fighting cancer. And Tanner was totally okey with that, he even said that he liked his bald head and now he changed his mind during incomplete 48 hours. At least he still looks good, I look like a piece of coal. (NO OFFENSE TO GUNNER)

"You know that you can just wear cap to work, right?"
"But the cap is not gonna protect me on REKT set.
"Mariah can fill for you, you know."
"What about the edits?"
"Ask Patrick." he turned to his pillow again.
"How long does hair grow back?"
"Are you serious now?" I thought and grunted mentally. I sighed in resignation.
"Oh my gosh. Tanner, we're gonna be late for work." I said and walked away, still jaw dropped about Tanner's speed of making decisions. Why did he changed his mind so quickly? What could've happened that was such astonishing... wait.
ow...
Ow....
OOOOOW.

This new girl joined Hi5.
*end of flashback*

(Y/n)'s pov:

I was going to finally see Tanner without the hat. I was kind of excited, but Tanner evidently wasn't, so I tried not showing it that much. I took his hat off. He had shaved head. I have to admit I wasn't expecting this, but it wasn't bad actually.
"I shaved my head to support cancer fighters..." wait, wait, wait. He actually did that to support people fighting cancer..? That's a beautiful gesture, why'd he be ashamed of it?
"And now I look like... this." he kept on talking.
"Okay and what's wrong with that?"as I finished my sentence he made the funniest suprised face ever that I almost lost it laughing.
"It doesn't bother you that I look like this?"

"Would never. It reminds about how big is your heart and how sympathizing you are. It's a beautiful thing to do, supporting these people." he said no word. His face turned red and I brushed my hair behind my ear akwardly. Then as I realized something I started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"It's just so pathetic and hilarious for me that your... lack of hair was our problem."
"Oh... yeah, it is kinda stupid." Tanner nodded and laughed along. He looked so happy it made me happy. I knew that all his fear vanished into the wild. When we got our act together he spoke up.
"(Y/n), can I tell you something?"
"Go ahead."
