Shawn Mendes x Reader Imagines

Why

I snuck a look at Shawn out the corner of my eye. We'd been doing this for the whole movie now. Both looking at each other when we thought they weren't looking. We were at the movies with a bunch of friends, most were couples.

"Just kiss him already!!" My friend, (b/f/n), hissed in my ear when I snuck another glance at him. I blushed crimson, glad for the cover of  darkness. "We're...just friends." I say, hesitating. I see (b/f/n) roll her eyes. "And I'm a talking sunflower." She replies.

I giggle at her sarcasm, and turn my attention back to the half finished movie.

I put my hand in between Shawn and I, and feel his rest gently on top of mine. I don't say anything, but blush lightly and smirk to myself. Why can't we just get over ourselves and get together...

After the movie finishes and the lights slowly come back on, Shawn removes his hand. I feel a little disappointed, but also relieved. I don't want anyone teasing me.

It's dark now, and I have to walk home by myself. It's not far, just a little scary in the dark, alone. (B/f/n) offered me a lift, but I'd rather get kidnapped than watch her and her boyfriend suck each other's faces off the whole way.

I give a little sigh and start my journey. Before I get very far, a black Jeep pulls up next to me and winds down the window. "Wanna lift?" Shawn asks. I smile and nod in relief. "Thanks." I say once I'm in.

The whole ride is silent, apart from the music on the radio playing softly in the background. When we get to my house, Shawn pulls up in the driveway.

"Thanks again." I say, gathering my things, and flashing him a smile. "Anytime." He replies. His eyes dart to my lips and back up again.

I gulp and take a deep breath, and quickly lean in to give him a kiss on the cheek. He doesn't expect it, and blushed as bright as I do.

I scurry out the car and to my front door. "See you soon." I yell. He just nods absentmindedly, and I walk in and go to my room. When I get there, I do a little happy, celebratory dance. I finally gave him a kiss!! Sort of...

A few weeks later, the same group decide we should meet up and have pizza together. A day before we leave, Shawn texts me to ask if I'd like another lift. I smile and feel butterflies, when I look down at my phone.

I reply to his text, saying yes please, and thanks so much. He replies with: "It's a pleasure, as long as I get another kiss."

The day we arranged to meet up, I try and put a little more effort into my outfit. It's warm out, so I wear a sunny, yellow dress that comes just above my knees and some black strapping heels.

I curl my hair and apply a light amount of makeup, then grab my bag and go on my phone while I wait for Shawn. A little later, I get a message that he's arrived.

The car ride there is not like the last, we talk the whole way there, without one awkward silence. When we arrive, he asks "Can I get another kiss?" while blushing slightly. I didn't think he was serious!! I giggle and climb out. "You're gonna have to earn it!!" I say before closing the door.

Shawn and I go over to the table our friends had booked. No one had arrived yet, so we were the only ones. The waitress came to take ask if we wanted drinks, so we just got water while we waited.

We sat close together and ,after a short while, Shawn spoke up. "(Y/n)...there's something I really need to tell you." I nodded. "Yeah..." I said, encouraging him to continue. "Well, you see, I kinda, well more like really, like you as more than a friend. Like quite a bit more, and I know if you don't feel the same, that's completely fine, but I just wanted to know if you, I don't know...maybe wanted to go on a date some time. By ourselves, if you know what I mean..."

I was shocked. I tried to speak but nothing came out, so I nodded. Then I found my voice. "Yeah, yes of course, I'd love too!!" I say. Relief washes over his features and we stare into each others eyes. I didn't realize I was leaning in, until I feel his minty breath on my face.

My eyes flutter shut, and our lips connect. It feels like a puzzle piece, like we were meant too be connected together. I smile into the kiss as fireworks explode inside my stomach.

When we pull away, I hear whoops and yelling. I look up, startled, to see the rest of our friend group cheering and I blush to my roots. When they come over and sit down, (b/f/n) sits next to me and sighs. "You guys are the cutest couple I know."

"You set me up!!" I yell. She giggles. "Aren't you happy we did?" She asks. I glance at Shawn and our eyes meet. We both smile. I speak, still looking at Shawn. "Yeah, yeah I am."
