sunshine & butterflies

gareth and reader have been dancing around their feelings for a while and someone gets sick of it…

gareth x gn!reader

y/n - first person pov

the bell rang in class meaning it was lunchtime, which is the best part of the day, not because of the disgusting cafeteria food, and not because of hellfire and eddie’s daily rants about something, but because i get to see my best friend gareth, who i do not have a crush on, at all, we are just very close…

i walk into the cafeteria and stand in the line ready for food, i then make my way to the table after and sat down next to gareth, who looked at me and smiled “hey y/n” he said “hey, did i miss anything important?” i asked “unless you count him whining that you’re not here as important then no, nothing important was missed” dustin stated. “woah okay i wasn’t whining, i was just wondering” gareth exclaimed, “right yea so it wasn’t you that said ‘they’re normally here really early and we walk together’, ‘i miss my honey bunny, i might die because they haven’t been here for 5 minutes’” eddie teased, “okay yea, the first one was true but i would never say honey bunny” gareth said in disgust, fidgeting with his rings, obviously embarrassed that eddie exposed him.

we then all delve into our own conversations, i look at gareth and he’s fidgeting with his rings “hey gareth..” i say putting my head on his shoulder “yea ?” “i think it’s quite sweet you missed me” “really !!” he said, sounding surprised “yes, really” i say fiddling with his rings, while he starts eating his lunch. “just get a room” i look up to see dustin looking at us with fake disgust “we aren’t even doing anything dustin, what the hell” i say “mhm sureee… you’re basically cuddling” he says with a smug smile, just as i go to say something the bell rings “ughh, i don’t wanna go maths” i say with a pout “neither do i” gareth says sighing. “oh yea, by the way the d&d meeting is at 4 because dustin over here got himself grounded so we can’t do it at 6” eddie says and they all get up to go to class, leaving me and gareth. as me and gareth head to class i realise something “that doesn’t make sense” i say under my breath, “what doesn’t ?” he says confused, “remember a couple weeks back when mike got grounded and he made him sneak out of the house for our normal meeting” “yea…” gareth says “why would he make us do it earlier because of dustin…” i say in a suspicious tone “wait… yea that doesn’t make sense” he says in realisation, as we both make our way to our seats we discuss more about why we think eddie wants us there early…

as i go into the theatre i realise it’s only me and gareth their “ummm… where’s eddie” i say looking at gareth, as he’s sat in eddie’s throne… gosh he looks so gorgeous in this lighting “oh i don’t know, he’s normally here an hour before we are to get it set up, but he left this letter here” he says pointing at the table “what’s it say ?” i question getting closer to him “uhhh dunno, didn’t read it” “gare this could be something important jesus christ” “well sorry, that i’m not as smart as you are and didn’t think that” he says teasingly, “just shut up” i say, grabbing the letter and reading it “i knew, there was another reason he told everyone to come early” “what’s it say ?” “dustin isn’t grounded, but we aren’t letting you out until you confirm you’re lovebirds” as i read it out the door locks “real mature idiots” gareth shouts at them “wait you like me aswell ??” i say excited “well yea, thought i dropped enough hints my sweet” “well looks like them hints weren’t obvious enough” “what would make it obvious” he says standing up and walking towards me “hmmm i don’t know” i say pretending to think.

“would this be obvious enough for you ?” he says leaning in, we both meet in the middle and he places his lips on mine, i wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my middle, he then picks me up and puts me on the table and we continue kissing completely forgetting where we are… until we are interrupted by a bang and a chorus of “ew” “not on the table” “my poor eyes” we look over and i quickly jump off the table “um hey” i say looking at the floor, as gareth puts his arm around my shoulder “looks like your plan worked dustin” eddie says giving him a hi-five “now we won’t have to deal with the longing lovely gazes but i don’t wanna see any lovely eyes or any PDA because that’s disgusting” eddie says pointing at me and gareth “anyways… onto d&d” he says as we all take our places and listen to eddie

i know it’s bad 💀 it’s the 2nd serious ff i’ve wrote, so there’s always room for improvement, by the way i am open for requests !!
