Shawn Mendes Imagines

Crush

Y/N's POV

The rickety wooden ladder creaks under our weight as I follow Shawn up to the old tree house in his backyard.

This has been our place ever since we were little kids. We've spent many afternoons and late nights here, hanging out and talking about pretty much everything.

Leaning against the small cushions that were scattered on the floor, we look out at the pink and orange sunset through the small window. Shawn hands me the box of crackers and I accept it, taking a handful out of the box.

We had been up there for about an hour, when I ask the question pretty much out of nowhere.

"Shawn who's your crush?"

He looks at me in surprise, being caught off guard. We're sixteen, there has to be somebody by now. He blushes and just looks down. I stare at him incredulously; I didn't expect him to actually...

"Well who is it!?" I exclaim.

Every time I asked in the past, he'd always very quickly deny it and tell me that there was nobody really special.

"I can't tell you."

I make a pouty face. "Just tell meee. Who's this special girl you have a crush on?"

"No I can't! And it's not just a crush... I love her." He smiles shyly at me.

I feel a slight bit of jealousy, and an overwhelming amount of curiosity. My best friend is in love and I'm seriously dying to know who this girl is.

"C'mon Shawny I'm your best friend," I plead but he simply shakes his head.

"Is she pretty?" I ask.

"Absolutely gorgeous. And she's smart, funny-"

"Can I see a picture?"

He swallows visibly, biting his lip and looking down. He takes a breath, and then looks back at me. "Okay, fine," he mumbles.

I grin triumphantly, feeling victorious. He pulls out his phone, his cheeks tinted slightly pink, and I watch him tap the screen and unlock it. I look up at him in confusion when he opens his camera app.

He holds up his phone in front of my face and snaps a picture.

"Why'd you do that?"

"Because you wanted to see who she was. And here she is," he says timidly, turning his phone around to show me the picture he just took. A small smile was playing at the corners of his lips.

"What—"

"I love you Y/N."

A/N: Okay so this one was the classic cliche 'I'm in love with my childhood best friend' scenario but yeah I thought it was kinda cute
