-The other day you said Ray is not your current type of person, so tell me who is he?-asks Zari sitting next to you on her room’s couch while passing you a cup of tea, recently you two have been doing that a lot, pass time with each other, talking, playing video games or in silence doing different tasks-Or is a she?-she asks when you don’t answer-Come on, Y/N, let it fly!-you just slip your tea while shaking your head and feel how your cheeks turn into a pink tone, but it seems Zari doesn’t want to stop-It’s someone I know right? That’s why you don’t want to tell me.
You squeeze your jaw Well you don’t go very misled think-Look I didn’t have the best luck in love, so the best we can do is forget about it and play video games while drinking tea.
-Y/N, I can help you pick up with your crush-Zari says trying to help.
-I don’t think so, Z-you murmur.
-Why do you say that Y/N? You have to be more positive-she says
-I know why I say it-you looks at the screen-Just focus in the video game.
-Fine-murmurs Zari rolling her eyes and pressing the ‘on’ bottom.
-But don’t be upset-you say a while later after being playing in silence Mario Kart.
-I mean… I thought we were that close to tell me who is your crush-she explains pausing the video game.
-And we’re close, you’re my best friend-you look at her and she knows you’re telling the truth-But it’s more complicated than that.
-Try me, I think I can handle it-Zari smiles and you get up looking at her.
-Well if you say that Z, my crush is a woman-you explain and add-It’s not like the first time I have a crush on a woman but I can’t...
-So what’s the problem?-Zari asks more excitedly than you would like-You have to ask her out!
You sigh-I don’t want to fuck the friendship I have with her-you confess.
She looks at you pensive, you’re too nervous, the afternoon is not going how you planned, you supposed to be argumenting about how Zari cheats playing Mario Kart, not talking about crushes, and specifically your crush, who is Zari which is great because she doesn’t know it and you would want to keep things like that-Well, tell me who she is and I could talk to her-she smiles at you, she’s there trying to help you like always, and you feel so bad.
-I don’t think you could-you murmur looking at your shoes, you’re not capable of looking at her face.
-Why? What do you mean? Does she have a partner or something like that?-she jokes trying to keep the atmosphere friendly.
-Because…-you start whispering-Because it’s you, Zari-you raise your voice-I have a crush on you-you say squeezing your jaw-At the beginning I thought I hate you ‘cause you were so mean with me-you explain still not looking at her-But then I discovered your funny side, even your kind side and… for god’s sake you’re so beautiful how could anyone not have a crush on you!-you exclaim and your looks find each other, she’s surprised about your confession-And I have fuck up our friendship-you say shaking your head-I’m sorry-you turn around wanting to leave the room.
But Zari is faster and catches you from the arm-Wait Y/N!
You get rid of the grab and without looking at her you say-I need time to think, I’m sorry, Z-and you leave the room.
