Gilbert Blythe Imagines

Such An Idiot

you're on you way to school with a basket in your hands. you're humming softly feeling a few twigs snap underneath your feet. suddenly you hear other footsteps behind you. you turn around to see Gilbert Blythe. the most handsome boy in Avonlea... your crush. "morning Y/n. mind if I walk with you?" he asks with a smile on his face. "n-not at all" you say as you give him a nervous smile. you walk next to him in silence.

I should say something. maybe something about the weather.

"you're hot- I mean it's hot... outside" you say widening your eyes at your own words. you feel your cheeks burn red in embarrassment as you avoid eye contact with a smirking Gilbert.

oh my god. I am such an idiot!

Gilbert decides to not embarrass you any further and let's go of the fact that it's actually quite cold. "yea... it's finally starting to warm up around here." he says and you nod still looking away. to your relieve the schoolhouse is coming closer. "bye!" you yell before running to your friends. Gilbert watches you with a smirk on his face before joining his own friends.

"I hate myself!" you yell as you approach your friends. Diana immediately chuckles. "what did you do?" she asks. the other girls look at you with curiosity. you sigh. "I basically told Gilbert he was hot" you say cringing internally. "Oh my god why would you do that?" Jane asks giggling. "I didn't do it on purpose! I wanted to say something about the weather and I just blurted it out" you say causing all the girls to giggle. except Josie. she was looking at you with furrowed eyebrows. "I think your little crush is pathetic. like he would ever like someone like you" Josie said letting out a chuckle. you wanted to say something but kept your mouth shut thinking she was right. you weren't exactly smart or very pretty. you were just plain so why would he like you if he could have any other girl.
the girls went on with their conversation and you stared at the floor until class started.

class was boring, but it was better then talking to josie. every once in a while you'd look over at Gilbert in the corner of your eye. you didn't dare to actually turn your head to look at him. if he caught you staring you would die on the spot.

at lunch you sat with your friends loudly chatting about dresses. "your dress looks amazing today Josie" Anne said smiling. "I can't say the same about your dress. it looks awful" Josie said looking at Anne with furrowed eyebrows. "just take the compliment and shut up. honestly Josie you're so rude!" you say getting very annoyed by her behavior. "I'm not being rude it's just the truth" she said looking over at you. "that's not true you're just a bitch." you say as the other girls look at you in shock. "you should shut up Y/n" Josie said looking at you in disgust. "and what if I don't" you said staring back at her. "I'll tell everyone your little secret" Josie says with a smirk. "oh you wouldn't" you say. "oh I wouldn't?" her smirk got bigger "everyone Y/n has a crush on Gilbert Blythe!" she yelled causing you and all the girls to gasp. Gilbert freezes and turns towards the girls right on time to see you slap Josie across the face. the girls gasp again and Josie smirks at you. your face is red from embarrassment as you walk outside. you sit by the stream until lunch is over. you clench your jaw knowing you have to go back inside.

you slowly walk back into the schoolhouse and everyone is looking at you. Josie was smirking other girls where giggling and boys where whispering. you got a few sympathetic looks from Anne and Diana as you went to your seat. you locked eyes with Gilbert for a second before quickly looking away and sitting down at your desk.

The whole lesson you stared at your desk without saying a word. you could still hear whispers and giggles all around you. you didn't seem to mind it that much. what was really bothering you was the feeling of two eyes intensely staring at you. from the corner of your eye you could see it was Gilbert and you didn't know what to do. so you sat there with a bright red face until class ended. you quietly grabbed your stuff and walked out off the schoolhouse. "Y/n, wait!" you turned around to see Gilbert running up to you. "can we talk?" he asked once he came closer.

oh god...

you nodded avoiding eye contact as you followed Gilbert towards a more private place. "a-about what Josie said... is it true?" he asked a small frown on his face as he looked at you with curiosity. "yes... I'm sorry Gilbert and it's totally fine if you don't like me back-" you got cut of by Gilbert crashing his lips on yours. you froze as you stood there with wide eyes. after a few seconds you kissed back still feeling shocked. Gilbert pulled away and you stared at him confused. a smirk appeared on his face as your face flushed red. "y-you-" you didn't know what to say. you could still taste Gilbert's lips and you tried to calm down. "I like you too Y/n" Gilbert said with an even bigger smirk. a smile appeared on your face and you tried to keep yourself from squealing. "I'll walk you home" Gilbert said taking your hand. he pressed another kiss on your lips before you both walk home through the forest with intertwined fingers.
