Empty Promises (Bloody Painter x Reader) [ORIGINAL]

Chapter 1- Admittence

I was sat in class, right at the back, sitting two seats away from this really quiet kid, Helen Otis was his name. He liked to draw, like me, but we never really talked, he didn't talk to anybody. I talked to a few people, but they included my roommate and one friend, Tom. He was bullied a lot, I tried to defend him as best as I could, but it didn't work.

I sometimes watch Helen, but I'm not trying to be creepy in anyway, he just, interests me. I watch him draw a lot, simply blocking out the whole world. Thats one of the reasons, I well, I'm not gonna say yet, but it is one of the reasons why, he didnt seem to care what happened what happened to him, or what people thought of him. I managed to see some of his drawings from time to time, he is an amazing artist, way better than me.

I decided to talk to him, get to know him a little better I guess.

"H-Helen?" I managed to stutter out, why was I so nervous?

"(y/n)? What do you want?"

"I-I was just wondering if I could have a look at some of some of your drawings, they look amazing and I wanted to have a closer look."

"Sure whatever." he handed me his bright green notebook, and I flicked through over the pages, admiring his drawing skills.

"Th-they are amazing."

"Thanks. Do you draw?"

"A little, but, I'm not great."

"May I have a look at your drawings, since you looked at mine?"

"S-sure!" I handed the handmade notebook I made a home, just a load of paper stapled together. He slowly flicked over the pages, looking at my stupid little doodles. I was smiling, waiting for him to finish, then his face, went a little confused, so I looked at the page he was looking at, and my face fell, it had something I completely forgot about, and I didnt want him seeing. It was me and him, holdng hands, and a little heart over the top of us.... ok, so I liked him, a lot...

"What is this (y/n)?"

I stayed silent, I just grabbed the notebook and ran out in pure embarresment, and I think Tom saw, because when I was under the big tree on the field, crying lightly, Tom came up to me, and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"(y/n)?"

"What is it Tom?"

"Do you really like Helen?"

"H-how did you know?'

His smile faded, did I upset him?

"He kinda started to blush like crazy after you ran out, and Ban got it out of him."

"Fricken hell.."

"Forget about Helen ok? I'm gonna take care of him for hurting you like that."

"I-I'm ok Tom, really."

"No you are not, you were crying a second ago." He hugged me, and I hugged back, crying into his shoulder.

"(y/n)?"

"Yes Tom?"

"I-I love you."
