Shawn Mendes x Reader Imagines

Ready (2)

"You know, Shawn is actually in town at the moment..." my mom began. I paused from making myself lunch, but forced myself to slow my racing heart and carry on. "That's...nice." I said, hesitantly.

"I bet he would love to meet up with you again...you two were always so close." She sighed. "Mm." I mumbled, but I wasn't really listening. Shawn was here. In the same town as me. It had been so long, but it was as if he had said those words to me a few minutes ago.

'I know you probably won't return my feeling, but, (y/n), I think I'm falling in love with you'

My cheeks flushed a little at the thought of what he had said, those long, five years ago. I had rejected his feelings at first, but now they had changed. Over the years, I had come to realize I had been falling for Shawn too. But it was too late, he left for tour and I never heard from him again.

"(Y/n)?!" Mom said loudly, waving a hand in front of my face, snapping me rapidly from my thoughts. "Oh, sorry. What were you saying?" I asked her, sheepishly. She raised an eyebrow at me and sipped her coffee before repeating herself. "Karen and Manuel offered to have us for dinner tonight."

I whipped my head round to look at her. "Really?" I asked, a little distraught . She looked alarmed. "Are you feeling ok, sweetie?" She asked, feeling my forehead. I laughed nervously. "Uh, yeah. I think I'm just going to lay down for a bit." I said, abandoning my half finished lunch to jog up the stairs.

Once I reached my bedroom, I flopped onto my welcoming bed and spread out, starfish style. I grabbed my phone on the table next to me and opened it up to play some soft music. I set it back down beside me and stared up at the ceiling. It wasn't that I didn't want to see Shawn, in fact it was quite the opposite.

I was actually dying on the inside, I really to see him, but how would he react to me. Would he ignore me? Or worse, do what I did to him so long ago...shove me in the dreaded friend zone? I groaned.

I spent the next hour or two listening to music, thinking about Shawn and trying to organize my pigsty of a bedroom. Mom knocked on the door and peered round. "We're leaving in ten minutes." she said, before disappearing again.

I decided to get ready, so I untied my hair, letting it hand loose and pulled on a plain white t-shirt and some black ripped jeans. Then I slipped on my teel and purple windbreaker jacket before tying up some trainers.

I didn't bother with makeup, so I just grabbed my phone and walked downstairs to meet my parents. We decided to drive separately, so I took my car while my parents drove in theirs. We arrived at the same time and mom knocked on the door. I waited anxiously behind them, picking at my chipped nail polish.

The door swung open, revealing a very excited Karen. She gave us all a hug and welcomed us in. Once inside, we greeted Manuel and Aliyaah but Shawn was no where to be seen. I felt a little disappointed but relieved at the same time. Maybe he was out? Karen must have seen my face, because she told me Shawn was in his room and quickly told me how happy would be to see me, an indication for me to see him.

I summed up all my courage and found my way to his room, taking my time. I stood outside the door and heard him playing his guitar and singing. I smiled, and almost forgot how awkward things had been between us. Once I heard the melodies on his guitar stop, I took a breath and opened the door to his room. "Knock, knock." I said quietly. His head shot up. "(Y/n)?"

I smiled and walked in. "Hey!! Long time, no see." I smiled. He scrambled to his feet and gave me an awkward hug. We made light conversation but slowly started to loosen up until we were joking and laughing like we used too, all over again.

We ate dinner together and afterwards Shawn whispered: "Can I take you somewhere?" I got goosebumps as his words traveled through me, but nodded and smiled. We excused ourselves and started walking. He eventually brought me to the spot where we first met: a little park.

I smiled and sat on a swing, and Shawn sat in the one beside me. "I don't mean to ruin the moment or anything," he began, breaking the silence between us ", but I still love you." He said awkwardly. A burst of adrenaline rushed through me as the words passed my lips. "I'm ready. I love you too."

It was if though someone else had strung the words out for me, I couldn't quite believe I'd just said that. Shawn looked the same way. "Really?" He asked. He sounded doubtful, but there was so much hope in his voice at the same time. I nodded and he beamed.

I didn't realize the space between us was shrinking before my eyes fluttered shut and his lips met mine. It was as if the whole world stopped breathing for a moment, as if a whole lifetime had passed and Shawn and I hadn't noticed a thing. Our lips moved perfectly in sync, and he cupped my cheeks as I wrapped my arms round his shoulders.

Eventually, we were forced to pull away for air. Shawn laid his forehead against mine. "Are you sure? You don't just feel sorry for me?" He asked, doubtfully. I chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure. I'm ready." I murmured to him.
