Why Don't We Imagines and Preferences *ON HIATUS*

Paris (Jonah)

The boys and I had all been in Paris for the past few days, working on a new music video. I had been trying the whole time to get Jonah alone for a little bit, just enough time to tell him that I like him, but he seemed like he was avoiding me. 

When ever he wasn't working on the video, he was hanging out with the boys or alone in the hotel room he was sharing with Daniel. 

The boys all knew that I was planning on telling Jonah, and had all been doing what they could to push Jonah and I together. They would tell Jonah that they were going to pick up something to eat for lunch, leaving him alone with me, but he would offer to go with them and I would end up getting dragged along as well. 

Today though, Jonah couldn't escape some alone time with me. 

The other boys had to work on their parts in the music video and Jonah didn't need to be there because he finished his parts the day before. We were told by Corbyn to take the scenic way back to the hotel and that we shouldn't bother with a taxi. 

The walk was mostly quiet and awkward, which was incredibly disappointing. We were walking through Paris! One of the most romantic cities in the world dammit! And if I could just get enough courage to tell him, right here right now, maybe it could be romantic for us too. 

Eventually, I got so fed up with the lack of conversation between Jonah and I, that I stopped abruptly, causing him to turn to me with a confused look on his face. 

"Why are you ignoring me?" I say, fixing a stare on his eyes. He looked away awkwardly. "I'm not ignoring you." He said, though he began to walk away again, as though he had never stopped. 

"No, you are and I want it to stop because we are supposed to be friends." Jonah turned back to me. "I am not ignoring you and we are friends, so can we keep walking?" 

"Not until you tell me why you aren't talking to me. Whenever we're left alone together, you make up some lame excuse to avoid me and then when we are alone together, you don't talk to me and you do whatever you can to stay as far away from me as you can."

"Well, I'm sorry you feel that way." And then he walked away. He just walked away, acting like I never said anything.

"You can't just walk away from me!" I call after him. I still didn't move from my spot though, feeling very dejected. I was about to head in the other direction to get to the hotel a different way when I saw Jonah turn around from in front of me. 

"Have you ever thought that maybe, the reason why I don't talk to you is because I feel like everything you say to me makes me fall for you a little bit more?" Jonah said. He was still multiple feet in front of me, but I felt like we were a lot further away when I heard his words. Fall for me? No freaking way.

"Well this whole time, I wanted some alone time with you so that I could tell you that I am quite possibly in love with you and I thought you were ignoring me because you knew about it and you didn't feel the same and-" 

I kept babbling on, my eyes on the ground, trying not to let tears fall from my eyes. "Now I might have just heard you say that you love me too and I'm trying not to freak out because I don't know if you meant it or not-" I suddenly felt Jonah's lips pressed to mine. Moments later, he stepped back to catch his breath. "Can you tell I meant it now?"
