Shawn Mendes x Reader Imagines

Ready (1)

I opened the door to the small café and was welcomed with a wave of warm air and the smell of freshly baked goods. I walked inside and sat down in a far corner to wait for Shawn. I sat down in the comfy chair and shrugged my coat and scarf off and laid them on the back of my chair.

A waitress came and I ordered my favorite hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin.

I pulled out my favorite book and started to re-read it, although my mind wasn't in that world at all. I was thinking about Shawn.

He and I had been friends for ages, but he had started to act funny around me for a little while now. I was hoping that was why he wanted to meet me today, so we could go back to being normal.

I was pulled from my thoughts when the door opened, sending in a gust of freezing air and making me shiver. I looked up to see Shawn and gave him a warm smile. He returned it and walked over to me.

"Hey!! How are you?" I asked once he reached the table. He smiled down at me. "Good thanks." He replied. I stood up to give him a hug. He stiffened up at first, which was one of the things that had recently changed. He had become strangely distant from physical contact. Nether the less, he hugged me back and we sat down.

We made light conversation and the waitress returned to take Shawn's order and give me mine. We ended up sharing the muffin, seen as Shawn loves them so much, and chatting like we used to. I was half done with my now 'cold chocolate' when Shawn became serious.

"(Y/n), I actually asked you to come here for a reason. I need to tell you something, I've kept it from you for quite a while but I need to tell you." He said, becoming nervous and drumming his fingers on the table. I put my hand on his. "You can tell me anything, you know you can!! You're one of my best friends."

He winced a little, like I'd stung him, but gave me a half-hearted smile. "I know you probably won't return my feelings, but, (y/n), I think I'm falling in love with you." He whispered. My blood ran cold. I gently removed my hand from his to cup my mug and stare into the cold beverage.

"Oh." I mumbled. I took a breath before forcing myself to look at him. He looked pale and I felt almost guilty. "I'm sorry, Shawn, but I can't. I'm seeing someone else." I said. He looked defeated once the words left my lips.

He tried to laugh, but it was a sad attempt. "No, it's fine. I'm sorry, I should've known." He said, standing up to leave. "Shawn-" I began but he cut me off. "No, really, its fine. Just..." he hesitated. "Just know I'm always here when you're ready." He said.

That was the last I saw of him for ages. Of course, we saw each other at school, but whenever it was, it was very brief. Then his singing became recognized and he had to leave for tour. That was five years ago, I was to stubborn to realize what I had lost. I was young and naive, only fifteen years old. Now I'm older, and I've realized that I do love Shawn. I'm ready, but it might be too late.
