Killing Me Softly || rafe cameron x reader

|| rafe cameron x overthinker!reader ||

your senior year of high school started, and you're just trying to make it through without completely falling apart. easy enough-until you're paired up with rafe cameron for a two-week project in art class. no big deal... except for the fact that you've been lowkey crushing on this guy since fifth grade, and saying hi without spiraling into a thousand worst-case scenarios? yeah, not exactly your style.

so when caution and overthinking crash into impulsiveness and intensity, things are bound to get messy. he's pushy where you're hesitant, instinct-driven where you're always second-guessing, and somehow, the two of you drive each other crazy in ways that aren't always for the better. but differences like that don't always end in disaster-sometimes, they create the kind of chaos neither of you can walk away from unchanged.

and while you're just trying to survive the two weeks without turning into a total awkward mess, rafe finds his patience tested, and every principle he's ever stood by starting to come undone.
