*this will be boyxboy-thought i'd just clear that up bc most of my imagines are usually boyxgirl*

you paced back and forth in your bedroom, biting your nails and running your hand through your hair.

"how the fuck am i supposed to tell him?" you mumbled to yourself.

you sat down on your bed with your head in your hands, your mind racing a mile a minute.

"if i tell him, i'll destroy our friendship and if i don't...then i'll end up crushed. fuck feelings" you continued.

you had bitten your nails as far as you could, little bits of blood seeping out here and there. your scalp was sore from how much you were pulling your hair. your breathing was fast and ragged. your brain was a jumbled mess.

you decided to text your best friend dan.

To: dan the man <3
hey dan, i was wondering if you could stop by my flat? i have something kind of important to talk to you about.

From: dan the man <3
yeah of course, i'm omw!

you let out a shaky breath you didn't know you were holding. you could hear your heart thumping in your chest as your hands and legs shook with nervousness and anticipation.

you went over what to say to dan a million times before he showed up.

when he did show up, you stumbled down the stairs to buzz him into your apartment building. your nervousness grew.

it took him a few minutes to reach your place but when he did, you felt like throwing up.

you cautiously pulled open the door, not daring to look into dans eyes.

"hey, y/n! wait...what's wrong?" he asked, pulling your face up to look into your eyes.

"come in...sit" you mumbled.

he did as told and sat down in your lounge, a worried expression plastered across his face.

"y/n, you're scaring me, what's up?" he asked shakily.

"dan, i know this is probably the last thing you want to hear, especially from me...but...i'm gay...and i-i think... i think i'm in love with you" you choked out, tears clouding your vision.

you kept your gaze on the ground, not wanting to know what dans face looked like. when he didn't say anything, you started to panic and apologize but it was cut off but dan pressing a kiss against your lips.

you were shocked at first, but slowly melted into the kiss, tangling your hands in his curly locks.

you broke apart to breathe and noticed dans flushed cheeks and puffy lips.

"i'm in love with you too y/n" he said gleefully.

you leaned forward and hugged him as tight as you could, never wanting to let go.

"why though? i'm just me" you said after a few minutes.

"that's exactly it. you're YOU. that's what i love so much about you. you never take anyone's shit, you express yourself how YOU want to, you're always there for people, you're kind and funny and cute and handsome and the most amazing guy i've ever met. you are everything i've ever wanted y/n" dan said, staring into your eyes the whole time.

you were stunned, at a loss for words. so, instead of talking, you grabbed his face and kissed him again. this time with more passion and love than the first.

"y/n l/n, you will be the death of me"
