Gilbert Blythe Imagines

John "Cupid" Blythe

Requested by sure566

It was friday morning. you woke up and opened your curtains staring at the snow outside. it was glistening in the sun and you smiled at the sight. you never really liked winter but you couldn't deny that the snow looked magical. this winter was the first time you ever saw snow. you moved to Avonlea a few months ago and you loved it here. well, most of the time. the girls were rude and you didn't have many friends, but you didn't mind. you had Gilbert Blythe. in the few months you had known him you became really good friends. best friends maybe, but secretly you wanted to be more than that. you knew there was no way he would ever see you like that. he could have any girl in school. any girl whatsoever so why would he choose you?

I wish I was good enough for him.

you snapped out off your thoughts turning towards your closet. you grabbed a light blue dress. you put it on and tied a matching ribbon around your waist. you looked at yourself in the mirror sighing.

why do I look so plain?

you went downstairs to make breakfast for yourself. "Good morning" you heard behind you. you turned your head smiling at your mother as she walked in. "morning, can I make you something?" you asked as she sat down at the table. "Oh no thank you" your mother said smiling back at you. you sat down in front of her devouring your breakfast. you were quite late and you were supposed to meet Gilbert before school. "I'm off!" you yelled when you finished. you grabbed your coat and made your way to the place where you were supposed to meet Gilbert. when you arrived he was already waiting for you, his face lit up when he saw you and he quickly walked over to you. "morning Y/n" he said smiling bright at you. "Morning Gilbert" you said smiling back as you started to walk towards the schoolhouse. "so how was your weekend?" you asked looking up at him. "busy" he said letting out a chuckle. "I worked the whole weekend and I still have alot of work to do" Gilbert sighed as he scratched the back of his head. "need my help?" you asked with slightly raised eyebrows. "oh no there's no ne-" you cut him off. "I'd really love to help" you said with a small smile, slightly tilting your head to the side. "okay.. thank you" Gilbert said smiling. you softly smiled back before turning your head away hiding the blush on your face. you felt your hand brush against his causing your face to flush a darker red than before. Gilbert cleared his throat as he looked to the side. his cheeks flushed red as well and butterflies were going crazy in his stomach.

snap out of it blythe!
she's too good for you anyway.

you saw the schoolhouse coming closer. you sighed seeing the familiar group off Girls. "morning Gilbert" Ruby said, her eyes overflowing with admiration and romance. it was quite funny to see because Gilbert had no interest in her whatsoever. "uh morning" Gilbert said before walking past her with a confused frown. Gilbert didn't like it that Ruby liked him so much. he wanted you to like him, but he knew that wasn't going to happen and he just needed to accept that.

you smiled to yourself before following Gilbert into the schoolhouse. the girls completely ignored you while they stared at Gilbert. you hated that all the girls liked him so much. you couldn't blame them he was basically perfect, but calling dibs and hating everyone that even thinks about coming near him is just stupid. you sighed before sitting down in your seat. it was almost in the front and you hated the spot. the teacher always called on you before anyone else and you could never doze of during the lesson without getting yelled at, but the worst part was that you couldn't stare at Gilbert. you were too afraid that if you turned your head he would notice. while you hated sitting in the front Gilbert loved that you did. he could stare at you for hours without you noticing. he stared at you for almost the whole lesson with a blush on his cheeks and a smile on his face. his eyes glistening as he looked at how you bit your lip trying to concentrate. a few weeks ago when he started to catch feelings for you he tried to push those feelings away. but he soon realized it was no use because they only grew stronger and now he just stared at you whenever he could.

after school you and Gilbert walked towards his house chatting about everything he still needed to do. it was alot and he never really had much time because he had to take care of his father. "I'll keep your father company so you can do whatever needs doing" you said with a small smile. "thank you... my father enjoys your company" Gilbert said with a small chuckle. "I'm glad" you said smiling.

you walked into his house and took of your coat. you hung it up right next to Gilbert causing your shoulders to touch. your eyes slightly widened as you looked to the side to see Gilbert already looking at you. your shoulders still touching sending tingles down your bodies. Gilbert's cheeks flushed red and he cleared his throat. a blush appeared on your face aswell and you quickly looked away walking further into the kitchen. "I-I'm going to say hi t-to my father and then I'll get straight to work" Gilbert said taking of his hat avoiding eye contact. his hair was messy making him look absolutely adorable. "okay I'll make some tea" you said smiling nervously.

after you made tea you kept Gilbert's father company. he was looking worse than the last time you saw him. you chatted with him read to him and occasionally got him some tea or food. you enjoyed John's company, he was a kind man and he could tell the most interesting stories about all the places he had been. you made another cup of tea and handed it to John. "what's Gilbert like in school?" John asked taking a sip. you slightly raised your eyebrows and a small smile appeared on your face thinking about Gilbert. "well his nose is almost always in a book... he's very smart and studious, but I'm sure you know that" you say letting out a chuckle. "he's more mature than any of the other boys which is one of the reasons why all the girls fancy him so much" you add causing John to slightly raise his eyebrows. "so Gilbert's popular with the girls?" he asked. you looked down feeling a blush appear on your face. "yea... the girls all think he's dreamy" you say chuckling. you take a sip of your tea trying to hide how much you're blushing. "and what about you? what do you think of my son?" John asks with a small smirk. you nearly choke. "I- uhhh...well..." you take a deep breath. "I mean... I kinda agree with them" you say scratching the back of your head. "please don't tell him. I'm sure he doesn't like me anyway" you say swallowing the lump in your throat. "what makes you say that?" John asks. "well I don't know... I just thought..." John cuts you off. "well you thought wrong... I know for a fact that Gilbert likes you alot" he says with a small smirk. you almost drop your tea. "Gilbert likes me?" you ask with wide eyes.

there is no way Gilbert likes me!

John chuckles slightly before nodding. "a-are you sure?" you ask feeling your face flush red. "he talks about you all the time... and I can see the way you look at eachother." John says studying your red face. "and you're absolutely sure?" you ask needing some reassurance before doing something stupid. "I'm absolutely sure" John says. "I'll be right back" you say standing up and walking out to find Gilbert leaving John alone while he sips his tea with a smirk on his face.

"Gilbert!" you yell checking every room in the house. he's no where to be seen. you grab your coat and walk over to the barn. it was snowing and you shivered at the coldness. "Gilbert!" you yell again. this time he hears you. his head shoots up and he starts running towards you. "what's wrong?" he asks running up to you. you jump into his arms crashing your lips on his. Gilbert's eyes widen feeling shocked before wrapping his arms around your waist kissing you back. you could feel his heartbeat as he pulled you closer. you both smiled into the kiss feeling butterflies going crazy in your stomachs. Gilbert's hand went up to your face into your hair causing your skin to tingle. it felt perfect and magical. after what felt like hours you slowly pulled away not being able to open your eyes for a few seconds. Gilbert stroked your cheek gently and you opened your eyes slowly. Gilbert's face was bright red and his hair was full of snowflakes. he looked truly adorable. you smiled at him and he smiled back letting out a chuckle. "why did yo-" you cut him off "I love you" you said slowly running your fingers through his hair. "I love you too" Gilbert said a huge grin present on his face. "so... will you be my girlfriend?" Gilbert asked with pink cheeks. "definitely!" you said smiling. you shivered again from the cold. "let's go back inside" Gilbert said putting an arm around you shoulder pulling you into his side as you walked back into his house. "dad I have news!" Gilbert yelled as you walked into John's room with intertwined fingers. John chuckled.
"let me guess... you're together"
