Shawn Mendes x Reader Imagines

Brothers Best Friend

(B/n) = brothers name

I woke up to a steady, warm breath on the back of my neck and two strong arms wrapped firmly around my waist. I yawned, and groggily took in my surroundings. Then I remembered I'd made a huge mistake.

I managed to slip out of Shawn's grip, without waking him. I grabbed my shoes and car keys and tip toed out his apartment. I had to get home as quickly as possible, before anyone noticed I'd gone. I still had my clothes from last night on, which were slightly creased from sleeping in, but hopefully no one would notice.

When I arrived home, (b/n) was sitting at the kitchen table, munching a bowl of cereal. He turned round and quickly got up when I came in. "Where on earth were you?!" He said, grabbing my shoulders.

I gulped. "I-uh-slept over at (b/f/n) house last night. Did I not text you?" I ask, trying to keep the guilt out my voice. He shook his head. "I was supposed to look after you when you came home. Mom and dad went out for the weekend." He said, letting go of me and returning to his cereal. "Oh, ok. Sorry I didn't tell you. I must have been sidetracked." I say, looking at the floor. He looked at me wearily. "Yeah, whatever." He said after a few moments.

I let out a silent breath of relief, and headed upstairs to shower. I turned on the water and let it slowly wash over my body. I sighed. As you have probably guessed by now, my brother is a little...well more a lot...overprotective. Which is ok, it's quiet nice in fact, having someone always looking out for you. But it can also be really annoying, having someone hovering over your shoulder all the time. Kinda like having a third parent.

(B/n) was really sweet, I appreciate that he looks out for me, but he basically makes every decision of my life. For example: dating. He wouldn't allow me to go out with some people who had asked me out just because "You deserve better than them" and all that. Yeah right. Anyways, that leads me to my problem at hand. I'm kind of secretly dating his best friend.

If course, I haven't told him. I'm scared he'll completely flip or something. But it's really hard, because Shawn comes over so often, and we've been dating for two months or so now. Him and I are really close, but I really do t want to ruin my brothers friendship with him.

Once I'd finished showering, I dried myself and got changed into some comfortable clothes. I blow dried my hair and plopped down on the couch in our living room and went on my phone. "Shawn's coming over." (B/n) yelled from his room. I paused. After last night, things would be really tense between us. "(Y/n)?" He called again. "Yeah, ok!!" I yell back. I sigh for the millionth time and carried on scrolling through Instagram.

Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell went. "Won't you get it?" (B/n) called. I groaned and went to the door. I opened it, revealing Shawn. He frowned lightly before asking "Where were you this morning?" I bit my lip and looked at the floor. "I'm sorry. I had to escape before someone found out I wasn't actually at a friend's house." I replied, gesturing with my head where (b/n)'s room was.

"(Y/n), this is kind of unfair on your brother. We should tell him." Shawn says, grabbing my hand and closing the door behind him. "What, now?!" I say pulling back. "We can tell him, but do we have to right this second?" He pulls me gently, but firmly up the stairs. "The sooner the better." He says. When we reach (b/n)'s door, I halt. Shawn looks down at me, presses his lips to my forehead, and walks in.

"Oh hey, Shawn...and (y/n)?" (B/n) says. He glances down at our hands which are intertwined and opens his mouth to say something (probably a complaint) but before he can say anything, Shawn blurts "We're dating!!"

There is a long, awkward silence after. Then two words I never thought I'd ever hear came out (b/n) mouth : "I know." Shawn and I stood still. "What?" I half whispered. "I know." (B/n) replied. "How long?" Shawn asked, looking puzzled. "Well, how long have you guys been together? Cause I've know literally since then." He replied. "And your ok with it?" I asked. "Well, yeah. My best friend is an average guy-" at which Shawn yells "Hey!" and (b/n) carries on "- so yep. I don't see a problem." He says, smirking at Shawn's comment.

I beam up at Shawn and he places a quick peck on my lips. "Ew, get a room." (B/n) says, focusing back on his phone. Shawn and I ignore him though, we're to busy smiling at each other.

(A/n) I AM STILL ALIVE!!!! I'm so sorry I haven't been active this week, but my phone got banned, so I wasn't allowed on it. Hope you'll forgive me!! Anyways, this story was kinda rushed and trashy, but it's a story right?
