Unmasked (Ranboo X Reader)

12

-Ranboo's POV-

She kissed me.

I've slept at her house.

And I met her yesterday.

I hadn't been shy or flustered around her before, but now I'm worried I'll mess everything up. I know she likes me, but what if I say the wrong thing? What if it doesn't work out between us? I'd be shattered.

Are we moving too fast? I feel like we are, but I don't want to slow down. I want her to be the first thing I see when I wake up. I want to be able to dance in the rain together. I want to tell her I love her.

Wait. I don't love her, do I?

What does that feel like? And more importantly, how do I tell her I love her? So many questions I can't answer. I needed someone to help me answer them. That's why I am currently locked in Y/N's tiny bathroom with Wilbur, asking him all these questions.

"I can't answer all those questions." he began. Maybe I should have asked one at a time instead. "But I'll try my best."

"Firstly, it's normal for things to be moving this fast. It means that she feels the same way about you as you do about her. Secondly, I don't think you will mess it up. Y/N seems pretty laid back, I don't think she'd get super worked up about you accidently saying the wrong thing. And as for the whole being in love thing..." 

He paused, probably thinking out his next few sentences as not to confuse me.

"based on what you told me before, I reckon you might be. Whether you're already in love with her, or your falling in love I'm not sure. But I know your feelings are strong enough."

"But how will I know when I am in love with her?"

"That's difficult because it's different for everyone. But I'm pretty sure when it happens, you'll know."

A loud knock broke up the conversation.

"Can you two please hurry up?! I need to go!" Tommy yelled, still knocking.

"Be out in a minute Tommy!" Wilbur yelled back before turning back to me.

"I think you just need to chill out." He began, his voice a slight whisper so Tommy wouldn't hear. "She clearly likes you. If you want to slow down, tell her. If you love her, tell her. The only way you could mess things up is by not telling her how you feel before you go home."

"Thank you, Wilbur." I smiled before opening the door and walking out into the hallway.

"You two took your time!" Bill shouted out. "We were worried poor Tommy was going to explode." Everyone laughed at his comment as Tommy slammed the bathroom door shut behind him.

"What were you two talking about anyway?" Y/N asked, her eyebrows raising slightly. I could feel panic set in. I could not tell her how I felt now, in front of everyone.

"Just some vlog ideas." Wilbur said, completely nonchalantly. "Should we be heading to lunch soon?" He added. When I looked back to Y/N it seemed like that answer sufficed.

"Actually yeah, as soon as Tommy's done we'll get going." Toby replied, and as if on cue, Tommy re-entered.

"Okay lets go!" Y/N shouted, standing up and heading to grab her bag. Everyone followed suit, grabbing phones and bags they had brought with them before heading out the front door.

When we reached the street below Toby began to explain exactly where we were going and how we would get there. The seven of us jumped on a bus, clambering to the top and sitting there, the wind whipping through our hair, until it reached our stop. Toby then informed us we would have to walk about 15 minutes to get to the restaurant.

Y/N held her arm out to me, so I could link our arms together. I obliged, looping my arm through hers and looked down to see her grinning up at me. God I love that smile. We walked like that all the way to the restaurant, I saw Wilbur give me a thumbs up along the way.

We reached the restaurant quickly, a small seafood place with decent reviews and a nice view of the city. We took our seats at our table and placed our orders before getting stuck into conversation.

Authors Note

I feel like this is kind of a boring chapter but I really want to get to the more exciting parts. I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to finish writing in the next few weeks so I can mass post this story and start working on my second one (I'm still not sure which one that will be, I've got like 5 there).

Hope you're enjoying the story!
