Couldn't ask for anyone better (Jared Kleinman X fem reader)

~Jared's POV~

Have you ever caught hard feelings for your best friend? Heh...well....that's the story of my life. You see I am best friends with this girl, (Y/N). Her and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. Our moms were best friends and roommates in college, and of course as any two moms who are best friends, they made sure we had playdates pretty much everyday since we were about 1 years old, so of course we got really close.

It wasn't until fourth grade when my view on her changed. It was after school in the parking lot, I got my ass beat by some kids in my class who have been picking on me all year. When they left I lifted myself up and started to cry in pain and humiliation while my legs were pressed up against my chest and my head buried into my knees, until I felt her hand on my shoulder. I looked up, and....there she was, she gave me a soft warm smile then pulled a tissue out of her pocket and used it to wipe the blood off my bottom lip. For some reason all I could focus on was how beautiful her eyes were. After her attempt of cleaning the blood off my face the best she could she gathered the broken remains of my glasses off of the ground....and that's when I realized.....I'm in love with my best friend. I mean I can't think of anyone in the world who is as kind to me as her. I always thought she was absolutely stunning my whole life but I always thought it was in a platonic way.... Guess not.

Now as the years passed by my feelings grew more suvire. Of course there were moments when I would stumble on my words, or turn really red when she touched me, and of course thanks to the wonderful world of being a male going through puberty there were times where I had to hide a slight 'issue' from her, and we are seniors now, so that means I had to deal with this shit for the past EIGHT years. Which leads us to where we are now. It is the fourth day of our Senior year and I got into yet again another fight with that dumbass Junior Jake Dillinger.

(Y/N) and I were in one of the gender neutral bathrooms in our school. I was sitting on the floor against the wall, wearing what I normally wear, some comic t-shirt I got from Target, a button up shirt that I.... didn't... button up, and khaki shorts. (Y/N) on the other hand was also wearing what she normally does, black ripped jeans, a NASA hoodie, and make up that in my opinion looks like actual art even though I don't think she needs it. She was sitting on my lap, basically straddling me as she wipes my bloody nose while she was lecturing me about how dumb I was being.

"I mean seriously Jare did you really think you were gonna win that fight....after you lost all those other times?" She says to me in a calm concerning voice.

I slowly turned my head away from her and shrugged softly and said in a small voice "Yeah....kinda...". I turned my head back to her a little quicker this time. "Well honestly what did you want me to do.....he was talking shit about you, did you want me to just....just let him pick on you?" I added.

She giggled softly, and stroked my cheek with her thumb causing me to blush slightly. "Jare bear..." She said. I love it when she calls me 'Jare Bear', she got it from my mom who always called me that growing up, I honestly hate it when anyone else besides her uses that name against me. "You don't have to stick up for me, I can handle myself.". She gives me a soft hug resting her chin on my shoulder as her arms are wrapped around my waist and mine around hers. "Just.... Please stop doing stupid shit" she added as we shared a small laugh.

"I'll try my best." I said as I gently stroked her hair. What can I say......I love her.

                  ~(Y/N)'s POV~

Jared Kleinman.....god how do I even start. Well we have the besets of friends for as long as I can remember. I pretty much have always had a thing for him. Jared was always sweet to me growing up, and that says a lot compared to how he treats half of the other kids in our school. He always made sweet comments but in such a cocky tone, but of course I appreciate them. Also besides him being the sweetest thing in the world, in my personal opinion I think he is absolutely adorable, and handsome, and literally any word you can think of. I know a lot of girls would disagree with my statement then turn to the assholes who will treat them like shit and look like Justin Bieber on crack, but hey.....I'm into dorks.....sue me....

I pull away from our hug and sit up straight and look into his eyes......god he's adorable. I see him smirk a little bit and I smile back and stand up and hold out my hand. "Come on asshat..." I say in a giggilish tone. "Let's get home." He takes my hand and stands up. As we leave the bathroom we see Evan Hansen, a boy we met when we were about 7 or 6. Jared's mom was like...selling his mother real estate or something I don't know, but Jared's mom forces Jared to hang out with Evan so of course Jared introduced me to him. Jared tends to pick on Evan a little....sorry I mean a lot, but I try to make him feel included the best I can.

"Hey Evan" I say softly.

"H-Hey..." he said back. He seemed off, a little more shaky than usual. "H-Have you guys seen C-Connor....o-or Z-Zoe...." He stuttered.

"N-N-N-No" Jared responded mocking Evan. "Why the fuck would I" I nudge his arm with my elbow hard telling him to 'cut it out'. "Ow..." he whines, rubbing his arm.

"I-It's just I haven't seen either of t-them since C-Connor stole my letter" He explains.

Jared snarks. "Well that does not vote well for you....He is probably gonna ruin your life with that letter....I would" He tells him.

I softly punched his shoulder. "JARED!" I exclaimed, causing him to laugh a little. I took Evan's hands into my own. "Don't worry Ev....I bet it will be okay" I assured him, causing him to smile softly. "Now me and Jare are gonna go...good luck." We started to walk away from him and once we were out of his hearing distance I asked Jared in a soft tone. "Why do you have to be such an ass towards him? Huh?"

Jared shrugs. "Hey do you wanna come over." he said in an attempt to change the subject.

"Ugh Fine....but we will talk about this later." I told him.       We never got back to the talk.

~At Jared's house in his POV~

(Y/N) and I were on my bed. We were both were hanging upside down side by side while eating candy from her bag.

"Oh hey isn't your party this weekend?" I asked. (Y/N) was turning 18 on Saturday, and she wanted to have a party, obviously.

"Indeed it is good sir." she responded followed by a snark. "I already have everything together. The hall, my dress, my-"

"You have a dress?" I interrupted, popping a piece of candy in my mouth. "I thought you hated that kind on girly shit?" I added with said piece of candy still in my mouth.

"Well some of us still like to look nice to special occasions like this." She hissed.

"Yeah but like.....you can still look nice without a dress....." I told her.

She sat up, and then so did I. She then sighed and said in a small tone. "It's just......I wanna look nice for somebody.." My heart nearly stopped, She wants to look nice for somebody? Does this mean she has a...crush on somebody. Now there is like only one explanation to this. She has a crush on some boy at our school or maybe not from our school, I don't know, but what I am hoping is that the guy is me. If it's not, fine, I may be heartbroken but I have to be supportive, after all she is my best friend no matter what.

"Oh okay....who is it?" I asked.

I see her face turn red, and she looks at me and softly smiles. "I-I'd rather not say." She respondes as she placed her hand on my leg making me turn red as well. Her phone goes off and she looks at it. "Oh...It's my mom. I gotta head home." She says as she gets up putting her shoes on.

"Alright, text me when you get home K?" I ask. I always ask her to do that when she is walking somewhere on her own.....I get worried you know.

She turns her head to me and smiles. "Okie." She responds. "See you late Jare." She says as she leaves.
