Kindergarten 2 x Reader (Highschool AU)

Choice A) (Kid Ending)

(Sorry it took so long to get this chapter done! I couldn't find the motivation to write for a hot minute, but I do still somewhat like this chapter. Hope you enjoy) 

Your POV

"So, what now?"

Kid asked. 

You collapsed onto the charred grass around the Huxley property. Kid sat down next you.

"Well,"

You said.

"You can start by telling me what you had started saying before we got...."

You turned to look at Mr Huxley, who was trying to drag himself away with very little success.

"Sidetracked."

Kid flushed. 

"Well-I-um-"

He stuttered. You laughed.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

You said, although in reality, you did really want to know.

"No, it's not that, it's just-"

He sighed.

Now you were really intrigued. You had a vague idea what he was about to say, and you smiled to yourself.

"I think it was also because, um.."

Kid went on, trailing off. 

"Because.....?"

You prompted. He inhaled quickly, before blurting

"Because I wanted to be able to be with just you."

He was going red.

"A-and, I was worried that if other people were there, you'd realize that they were better than me, and then you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore, and I just wanted y-you to like me, and I didn't want to be shown up by Ted, and I just-"
