Work Text:
It was such a crazy night. People were at Jim's having a party, and obviously you were there. Michael wasn't invited, but, he came anyway. Dwight thought it was a surprise party for him. The situation was almost got out of hand. Almost.
Michael was blabbering about how Jim and Pam should be together. He was obviously drunk. Everyone knows that Jim has a crush on Pam, except Pam herself. and you knew this from the first time you got to know him. He's your best friend.
Best friend.
You can't seem to love those words. Jim Halpert's best friend.
All you know is that you're in love with him. But you're also his best friend, and you know that he's in love with Pam, who's also your best friend.
You went outside to get a drink and see some of your co-workers hanging out. You sat in the bench.
“Having fun?”
Jim sat next to you and smiled. You smiled back.
“Yeah, Michael and Dwight literally made the mood.”
He snickered. “Well, I kind of feel bad for not inviting him, though.”
“You should be.”
Those words slipped from your mouth so fast, you couldn't believe it. It sounded so cold for warm people like you. But it seems like Jim didn't hear it. Pam walked outside, Jim eyes widened when he saw her.
It was full of love.
“She's really ... beautiful, isn't she?”
“Yeah,” you grinned, “very.”
You wish you didn't notice it. His eyes sparkled when he sees Pam. The way he's full of affection towards her. The way he smiled to her. It was romantic.
He also showed that attitude towards you too. But different; it's all platonic. Because to him, you're just his best friend.
You looked down. “You guys will make a very good couple.”
Jim faced towards you. He blushed.
“Really?”
You giggled, “Of course, dummy. Why don't you tell her about your feelings?”
God, what am I doing?
But at least you're being honest. Pam is basically perfect for Jim. She's perfect. You want the best for him.
Time passed by really fast and everyone is still having fun. You were hiding inside the bathroom while writing something.
great party. way to go dude! :)
–your best friend
You sneaked out, trying not to get caught by someone, finally got out of Jim's house and put the note under the door. You didn't notice the air is really cold, but you got yourself.
You want for the best for your best friend anyway.
