👓 imagine: i'm just your best friend pt. 2
It's been a week since you've talked to Joshua and whenever he is ready to pluck up the courage to approach you— Matt is always there with you.
It wasn't Matt's idea, it was yours.
"Tell me, when are we going to drop this fake relationship Y/N?"
"I'm sorry, I dragged you into this Matt." you sighed and apologize.
"It's fine Y/N but I don't get it why—"
"It's better this way, Matt." you tried to convince him that it was better this way, but Matt knew that it's not. It's worsening the situation and then an idea came to his mind.
"Whatever you say. But as a friend, I think you should tell him the truth— about what you're feeling towards him."
"It will uncomplicate things."

Joshua got the text from Matt, heading at the storage room.
"Why did you even need me—"
"Just hold on, carry the heavy thingy below the cabinet." Matt tried to come up with an excuse, that made Joshua look at him with a suspicious glare.
But then went inside the storage room.
"You'll thank me later, Bassett." Joshua yelped in surprise when his friend locks the door. Joshua was about to break the door when a voice coming from behind scare the life out of him.
"Y/N?"
"Joshy?"
You sang in chorus.
👓👓👓
You look down at your hands staring at it, not wanting to meet Joshua's ones.
"Why are you here?" Joshua asked.
"Matt." he nodded at your short comment.
You couldn't help but to shiver because of the coldness of the room.
"You cold?" shooking your head, but Joshua already shaking his jacket from him and tossed it to you.
"Thanks."
"Are you and Matt like? Going out?" Joshua tries to make the question not to blunt obvious but his feelings (jealousy) weren't allowing him to do so.
You stayed quiet not wanting to answer the question, part of Joshua wanted to just break free and hold you but that night at the party made it official that you can never be his.
"We broke up." he said, and that made you quickly went on your heels trying to open the door.
"Look, it's locked and—" incidentally your noses touches one another because of how close you two are. You could feel your heart beating faster.
" Why we're you avoiding me?"
"I-I'm not!"
"Really?" he raised his brow and pulls away.
"Really. Look Joshua I don't know—"
"I've come to realize that I like you Y/N." that made you froze on your feet. Joshua massage his temple at admitting it so profoundly.
"Y-You like me?"
Joshua gaze at your shocked expression, and sighed.
"Yes."
"Hell— I think liking you is an understatement. I love you, Y/N." Joshua shook his head not believing that he just already admitted his feelings.
"Since when?"
"Since the moment you walked in the cafeteria when Matt asked you to go to the party." he admitted.
"The thing is that I was just scared that you didn't feel the same way. And I—"
"I was scared too..." that caught Joshua's breath.
"I was scared that what we feel might ruin what we have."
"No, it wouldn't." Joshua moved forward caressing your cheeks gently.
"How can you be sure—"
" Because even if this relationship won't work out... I will always be your best friend, Y/N."
With that being overwhelmed with his love and faith in your relationship, you puckered your lip onto his.
Joshua quickly caught himself leaning more closer, as his hands stayed on your chin and jaw pouting his upper lip.
" You two alright? "Matt asked.
You heard the doorknob move but before it opened he swiftly pushed and leaned you on the wall preventing it to be open.
Feeling you glasses playfully moves down which made you two both pause, Joshua grinned happily and pushing your glasses up.
"I love you so much, dork." you smile as he leans to continue holding you close.
