A Heartfelt Confession

Dwayne Hoover x Reader

I might end up extending off of this but here’s a little one shot for @riddleklitz

Dwayne wasn’t an overly affectionate person but for some reason when he was around you, he always found himself subconsciously moving closer. Maybe it’s because you meant so much to him and he was afraid you’d be ripped away. Just like his other dreams. But that’s all it was. A dream. You're his best friend and you’d never see him as anything else.

“Earth to Dwayneeee” you say waving your hand in front of his face.

“Sorry y/n. I guess I sorta spaced.” he says with an unreadable expression on his face.

“What were you thinking about? That girl in history class?”

He turns to you in confusion.

“Huh, what girl?”

“The one who sits in front of you. I thought you had a crush on her?”

“What on earth made you come to that conclusion?”

You start explaining your reasoning but he can’t even hear you anymore. He’s getting worked up now. How would he ever have a chance with you if you thought he liked someone else. He thought he was being obvious enough in his attraction so he had tried to dial it back so you wouldn’t be wary of him.

“Dwayne, are you okay?”

Taking a deep breath he says

“Yeah. Yeah I’m fine. I just- I don’t like her alright? I don’t even know her name. I like someone else.”

A teasing smile appears on your face, as if you have something on him now.

“Ohhh you do huh? Well spill it, who are they? What’s their name?” you say in a playful tone as you nudge his arm.

“Oh god here we go. This is why I don't talk about this kinda stuff.”

“Come on please tell me. I promise not to make fun.”

“I can’t tell you, I don’t want anyone to know. It would ruin everything.”

You start pestering him nonstop. You have to know who it is. It has to be someone amazing to have captured his interest. He’s starting to lose his patience.

“IT’S YOU OKAY, YOU’RE THE ONE I HAVE FEELINGS FOR!”

You sit there in shock at his outburst. He sighs and looks away, blushing and unable to maintain eye contact.

“I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to lose you. I still don’t. So just pretend I never said anything and we can go back to normal.” His voice is so soft you barely hear what he says.

“Dwayne. Please look at me.”

He slowly turns his head, still apprehensive.

“I wish you would’ve said something sooner. It would’ve saved us both from so much torment”

“What do you mean?”

“I like you too Dwayne.”

A smile slowly spreads across his face. Maybe this was one dream he could keep.
