✨joshua bassett and ricky bowen imagines and preference ✨

🐰imagine: "look i'm not cute, alright?"

i came across this gif (sadly i wasn't able to upload it) , and i thought he's cute so i couldn't stop myself from writing. i wrote this pass midnight so... enjoy?

It was a exhausting night, feeling your shoulder could immediately slouch into an impossible curve.

"You goofball did not just drag me into this party."

"I did didn't I?" Ricky grinned, helping you as the two of you made your way to the party.

" We could've just sleep this off, and we have classes—"

"Could you stop there, Y/N?" he interrupts, his shot a look on the guy who accidentally bumped you.

"Can I get you a drink or something?"

"Just water."

"Some boost it is then." he stubbornly argued and made his way out. To be honest, you didn't even knew who threw this sweaty, crowded and angst party.

"So... You're new here?" a voice came from behind, turning at the person who spoke from behind you almost regretted not applying any embellishments on your bare face.

"U-Uhuh." you nodded, the guy took the seat beside you.

"That seat is taken by the way."

" I'm Noah, by the way." he introduced himself, finalizing that he isn't gonna let you off his sight.

" I'm -"

" Bro, that seat is taken." Ricky chimed in, holding the two cups.

"Well, now it's taken." Noah said without turning at your best friend.

" I didn't ask you-" feeling the tension between him and Noah.

"I'll just go and find another chair." you suggested, but Noah prevented you to leave the sofa.

" Don't touch her, Noah."

"What're you gonna do about it?"

🐰🐰🐰

"This is so stupid." you blurted, staring at Ricky and Noah facing each other, playing flip cup.

"What's in it for me?" Noah asked, squinting his eyes back to your best friend.

"Your call." Ricky answered. Seriously, what is he even worked up for?, you thought.

"Then... I'll get a three minute with her in the closet." that made you coughed in surprise and was about to argue when your dumb best friend agrees.

"Sure. On the other hand, if I win-"

"This is ridiculous!" Ricky whispered the deal on Noah, his brow furrowed but in an instant it disappeared

"Okay, then. Deal."

Ricky was so adamant on winning this, he wouldn't be betting a riskier deal than he would be.

🐰🐰🐰

After that you didn't knew what happened because the crowd were all nosy, cheering each sides.

You didn't want to be part in any of it, so you've decided to just bail on them. Swiftly and unnoticed, you made your way into one of the rooms.

"What is he even thinking-"

"Found you here." Ricky spoke, he couldn't take the silence as he went inside the room to follow you.

"You're drunk."

" I did drink a little... so,"

Ricky groaned in pain when your hand hit his head, scolding him.

"You're such a dumbass, selling me out-"

"I didn't, Y/N!" you could smell the alcohol when he leans.

" I would never allow it." he sighed and sat to the bed. Following him, Ricky laid his back on the mattress.

"It's Noah. I'm not dumb enough to let you off with that guy."

"What do you mean?" you asked. Ricky kiddy played with his curly brown locks, and giggle.

Oh, boy. He's drunk.

" I'm not drunk, if that's what you're thinking."

"You didn't answer my question." Ricky shook his head and frowned.

"Why do you want to know?" he shots back, massaging your forehead.

You were about to grab your things and help him out, when he pulled you with him to the mattress.

"Can we just stay like this? Being in the same bed-"

"C-Cuddling you mean?" you became flustered by some unknown reason.

"Yepppp. Why is there something you want to do other than cuddling?" he asked, while his arms around your shoulders, interlocking his fingers.

🐰🐰🐰

"So, I just won the flip cup." he informed you.

"I figured." Ricky's breath tickles your neck.

Ricky chuckles.

"It's very funny because I don't think I felt like I won."

"Because it's impossible for you to see me that way, even though I told Noah to back off."

"Wait-What?" your eyes widen, after realizing that he confesses his feeling to you.

"I said I won." Ricky sat up while scratching his eyes like a kid.

"No after that." you couldn't fight the excitement and joy after that.

Ricky stopped and think.

" Did I just-"

"You did, you like me?"

🐰🐰🐰

"Why didn't you told me before?"

"Because... I thought you'd just reject me."

"Oh my gosh, you're so cute." you raised your voice in joy and throw yourself at him.

"Is that a yes? I like you too? " Ricky tiredly asked, but it soon faded when you brush your lips to his.

You were so happy knowing that you two feel the same way. Ricky blinks to surprise about what you just did, opens his mouth to say,

"First. Look, I'm not cute, alright? I'm a full grown man."

Ricky stood up, looking all red. Your eyes widen when he impatiently shrug off his jacket.

"Second, can we just cuddle like what we're doing before?"
