shawn mendes imagines

"um... we're under a mistletoe."

yea, yea. i know its not christmas yet but i was dying to write it. i was brainstorming all these ideas before i went to bed last night. oh if you read this now, thatd be great. but if you read it on your christmas break, you should play "all i want for christmas is you" by mariah carey or justin😂

ah. the smell of candy cane lattes and hot cocoa. the family dinner. the perfectly wrapped gifts under the christmas tree. and the one thing you just couldnt wrap your head around. a mistletoe.

you've never really kissed anyone under it and hoping todays the day where you finally can.

you were invited to spend christmas eve with the mendes family. you were driving on this cold december night and the snow outside really set the mood.

youve liked shawn for quite awhile now. but you dont have a clue if he feels the same way. ever since you both went to the same high school, hes the only person youve ever fallen for. even the typical football players didnt get your attention one bit. you guys are best friends, and ONLY best friends. he kept you in the "friend-zone" long enough.

you got to his place. it was the house that stood out the most in this neighbourhood. his front yard was covered with colourful lights and white reindeers that lit up.

you walk up to his front door and rang the doorbell. aaliyah opened it before shawn and gave you a big hug. "hi, y/n! its great that you get to spend christmas eve with us. we'll be opening gifts soon. are you staying till then?" she asked with a smile. you just
nodded your head and watched her run to her parents who were in the kitchen.

shawn let you in and gave you a long bear hug. "hey, y/n!" he spoke while his head rests on top of yours. "hey, best friend!" you said through clenched teeth. you pulled away and went to the kitchen where aaliyah went running off to with shawn behind you.

"hi mr. and mrs. mendes! how are you?" you happily cheered.
"oh, y/n, please. call us mom and dad!" karen said with a big smile on her face.

you looked puzzled and turned to shawn to see if he knew anything. shawn was doing this "cut it off" gesture. his hand sliding underneath his chin like some sort of food scanner at a grocery store. you look away and shook it off not caring what it meant.

aaliyah helps her parents with the family dinner while you help shawn with the christmas tree. it was already set up it was just missing a few things. some big ass ornaments and the golden star you place at the very tip.

you hung up the ornaments all around the tree and it was time to put the star. the tree was taller than you so you had a hard time reaching the top.

you stood on your tippy toes but it still didnt work. you mutter, "im too short." and sighed.

shawn walked over to you and said, "here. climb up my shoulders ill hold you up." so you did. you placed it gently on the tip and did a happy dance while you were still on his shoulders.

he lost his balance and tipped over landing on the ground with you on top of him. you roll on your stomach staring into his eyes not even trying to look away. he was staring right at you until he turned away to see aaliyah standing above the both of you. "dinners ready!" was all she said and winked at the both of you.

he stands up grabbing both your hands and pulling you up. you brush off your leggings and your knitted sweater and walked over to their dinner table. you sat in between aaliyah and shawn.

before you all started to dig in, you held hands around the table and said a quick prayer.
