Aidan Gallagher Imagines

(∞) Ice Cream Wars Pt. 2

Today is the morning after we had that huge ice cream war. We're all still at Eden's house since we slept here last night. Let me tell you about last night. So basically, we didn't get to finish the movie, we had the ice cream war, and that thing with Aidan where we fell and-

"Breakfast time!!" my thinking was cut off when Eden burst open the door. I get off from the bed lazily and start to head downstairs still in my pajamas.

As I arrive in the kitchen, I see everyone already there. Most of them are still in their pajamas as well. I sit down beside Aidan and he messes up my hair so I pout at him and steal his cereal bowl. He probably noticed what I did, but just let me continue to eat his food anyway.

It was awkwardly silent while I gobbled up Aidan's food so I look up to see everyone looking at us grinning and some even having their phones out, probably taking a picture of us. I give them a 'What?' look and they all talk at the same time.

"The ship is sailinggg!!!!!" they all practically yell it and I see Aidan blush which also made me blush.
"Lol, no, we're just friends." I say as I continue to eat the cereal and I see Aidan look kinda sad or disappointed.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." he says and immediately walks to the direction of the bathroom.

Everyone just stares at each other with frowns and I get confused. Cameron walks out and also heads to the bathroom. I wonder why Aidan looked sad when they teased us... I finish eating the cereal and wash my dishes and neither Aidan nor Cameron still didn't come back. I walk to the living room and I pass by the bathroom. I don't mean to eavesdrop but I hear talking inside so I got curious and had to listen.

"You should just tell her." I hear a male voice, it was probably Cameron's.

"But she doesn't feel the same way and that's obvious." I hear another voice. I reckon it is Aidan's voice.

When I heard that, I got kind of jealous and my heart felt like it just cracked. I don't know why, but maybe because he likes someone and he didn't even tell me. Like, we have been friends since we wore diapers, he's like my twin and now he's suddenly not telling me any of his secrets.

I walk upstairs in a grumpy mood. I decide to take a bath to make myself feel less angry.

~after the bath~

I change into some jeans and a simple T-shirt. My hair is still wet so I borrow Eden's hair dryer and start drying my hair. I sit down in front of the vanity. In the middle of drying my hair, I hear a knock from the door.

"Come in!" I yell, since I don't want to stand up to open the door. I hear the sound of the door open. I don' t know who went in so I just continued drying my hair. When I was done, I look at the mirror and see Aidan's reflection. He was sitting on the bed and he was holding a crumpled up piece of paper in his hands.I remember what he and Cameron talked about in the bathroom and decided to confront him about it.

"Don't you have something to tell me?" I turn my chair around and sit in front of him.

"W-what? I don't know what you're talking about. So n-nope." he says quite nervously.

"I think you know what it is Gallagher, spit it out" I say to him, raising an eyebrow.

He looks down at the crumpled paper he was holding, like he was memorizing the things written on it. I got impatient and veery curious so I grabbed the paper from him.

"Don't read it!" he says, trying to grab the paper from me but I have GrEaT reflexes so I move away quickly and start reading the paper. Aidan covered his ears and hid in the corner of the bedroom while mumbling a bunch of inaudible words to himself.

"Y/N, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I just didn't want to ruin our friendship." I start reading it aloud and he just curls up into a ball.
"You have been my best friend ever since we were babies and we were always inseperable. You made my life colorful and I can't imagine living without you." I continue to read it and I felt myself blush as I read that part.

"Now, I feel different about you, the good kind of different. I don't know if you have a hint already. So Y/N, -" I didn't get to finish reading it because Aidan took it from me and ripped it up.

"Y/N, I like you." he says taking me by surprise.

"Y-you don't mean that." I say, shaking my head.

"You're right. I don't like you Y/N/N, I love you. And not just as my best friend. I love you so so much and I feel my heart beating out of my chest every time I'm with you. I feel butterflies in my stomach when you give me that smile of yours. I don't know when this started but it just happened. Last night, when we had that ice cream war, I just fell in love with you even more and I don't even think it's possible to love someone this much."

I just stand there dumbfounded, my brain still processing everything he said. He likes me? Wait, no, he loves me?!

I stare at him and I see his entire face turn red, including his ears. Now that I think about it, I felt something that time we fell over during the ice cream war. I felt my heart break when I heard him say that he liked someone. I realized just now that I like him too. Everything I've been feeling just concludes to this. I like him, I like my best friend.

"I like you too." I tell him right away after I concluded it. He gives me a huge smile and walks closer to me. Our faces were only inches apart and I could feel his breath on my face. My heart beat became super fast and my breathing hitched. He holds my face and pulls it towards his, making our lips touch.

I feel all the butterflies in my stomach going crazy and It feels like the world has stopped moving. I closed my eyes and so did he as we deepened the kiss while his hand is caressing my face gently. This feels nice, like we were meant to do this.

We stop kissing and smile at each other, our faces both red as tomatoes. I never thought that that could happen between me and Aidan. I only ever thought of him as a friend and I never acknowledged the fact that I feel something more than that towards him.

My thinking was disturbed when I hear someone cough. Aidan and I look at the doorway to see everyone there, grinning like idiots. I look at Aidan and both our faces turn even more red.

"I knew it." Eden says, like she had just discovered something cool.

"We all knew they'd be together at some point." Ethan says.

"Check your instagram." Tj says and they all walk away. I hear them whisper things like 'You owe me 20 bucks' and 'I winnn!!'. I chuckled at what I had heard. Looks like they had a bet going on.

Aidan takes my hand and looks at me in the eyes.

"So now that I have confessed my undying love for you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Aidan asks me and I smile at him.

"Hmmm, I'll think about it." I answer him jokingly making him frown.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend." I answer him, now serious. He gives me a huge smile and hugs me.

He let go from the hug and I thought about what Tj said and got my phone out of my pocket. I open my instagram and see a notification that Tj tagged me and Aidan in her story. I open her story and see a boomerang of me and Aidan at breakfast when I stole his cereal with 'the ship is sailing. they're a thing now. period' as the caption.

I laugh a bit and Aidan looks over at my phone to see what I'm laughing at. He sees Tj's story which also makes him laugh. My DM's were full of fans asking me if the caption on Tj's story was real. I guess everyone knows now and we've only been a thing for less than 5 minutes. Aidan chuckles and takes us downstairs to where everyone else is.

"I guess everyone knows now." Aidan says.

"Maybe even my mom." I laugh.

"Wait, shit. YOUR PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME." Aidan says, shocked. His expression makes me laugh.

"They're not that strict. Besides, they know you already." I tell him so he would stay calm.

"God, I love you Y/L/N."
"I love you too Gallagher."

A/N: This was rEaLlY bAD lol sorry. Wait, who am I talking to? No one reads this book. Oof.💀
