Shawn Mendes Imagines

Confession: For Karly

This was requested by @karlypearl20 I hope you like it!!

*Karly's POV*

Shawn and I had been best friends for as long as could remember. We used to be next door neighbors when we were younger than ten, and even after I moved a little farther away and we went through highschool, we were still really close.

I was at Shawn's house and it was late at night. Shawn's parents were out of town and Aaliyah was at a friends house. We had been watching all of the Harry Potter movies for hours and I was starting to get really tired.

"Shawn, what time is it?" I yawned, "It seems like it's really late."

"It's..." he checked his phone, "almost one a.m."

"I'm so tired," I whined and rolled over, laying my head on his stomach. He seemed to almost stiffen up a little, but I didn't think too much of it.

"I'm getting pretty tired too," Shawn stopped the movie, "Do you want me to drive you home?"

I sat up next to him, "Is it okay if I stay here tonight? I don't want to make you drive when it's so late."

"Yeah, that's fine," Shawn assured, "Were do you want to sleep?"

"I can just sleep on the couch down here," I answered.

"Okay, I'll go get some pillows," Shawn stood up.

"I'm not letting you start a pillow fight with me like last time," I laughed, "I swear you hit me right in the face."

"I wasn't trying to," Shawn said as he was leaving the room, "I just got really into it." He left to his room.

I was already wearing only sweatpants and a t-shirt, so I didn't have to change. I waited a couple of minutes for Shawn to come back.

He came back wearing almost the same thing as me and carrying two pillows and a couple blankets.

"I'm going to join you sleeping down here," Shawn tossed a pillow to me, "It gets kind of quiet and lonely when no one's here."

"It's all good," I told. I lyed down on one of the couches and and Shawn did the same on the other. He turned off all the lights and it was almost completely dark. I was getting really tired and I knew I would be asleep soon.

"Do you ever wonder if you've met your soulmate yet?" I asked. It was getting to that point in the night where all the conversations got either really weird or really deep.

"Not really," Shawn stated. I could tell he was staring at the ceiling.

"Why not?"

"I just don't really think about it," he added, "And I think I've already met my soulmate."

I rolled over so I could look at him. "Who?" I questioned playfully, "Who do you like?"

Shawn refused, "I'm not going to tell you."

"Come on, Shawn. Please? You can tell me," I pressed, "Pleeaaseeee?"

"Fine, I like you," Shawn blurted.

I sat up quickly, now somehow more awake, "What?"

"Ugh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to admit that. It just came out," Shawn ranted, "Just forget I said anything." He rolled over to face away from me.

"Shawn?" I said softly.

It took him a second to answer, "Yeah?"

"You said you liked me...Is that true?" I tried. I was still sitting up in the dark.

Shawn sat up and turned to face me. His eyes seemed to look everywhere but my face.

He sighed and finly spoke, "Karly, I've had a crush on you since we were like eleven. I tried to forget about it and push it away because I didn't want our friendship to get awkward. But, I just couldn't get you off my mind. Karly, your beautiful and have such a great personality and I love you. I know it's stupid and you probably don't feel the same, but I love you. Everything about you." He looked down at the floor.

I was speechless. It had never crossed my mind that Shawn could feel that way.

I watched him in the dark. His eyelids partially covering the brown eyes that always shined bright. I remembered all the times he smiled and the edges of his eyes would crinkle. I saw the shadow of his perfect jawline in the dim light from the window. And I thought of all the times he stood up for me and helped me. Even going out of his way to make me feel better.

I realized that I loved him too. And not just as a friend.

"Shawn, I wouldn't get so sure that I don't feel the same," I continued.

"Wait, are you saying..." his hopeful eyes stared at me.

"Yes, Shawn. I like you back," I smiled and came over to sit next to him, "I think I always have, just never realized it."

We sat in silence for a couple of seconds. Slowly, I made my way closer to him. Placing my hand on his shoulder, I leaned in and started to kiss his soft lips. I could tell he was a little taken aback at first, but eventually he deepened the kiss, pulling me closer to him. I was soon sitting on his lap, facing him with my arms around his neck.

I broke the kiss, "I think we should probably get some sleep."

"Probably," Shawn hummed.

He lyed down on the couch and I lied next to him. And kind of on him, but not squishing him too much. I pressed my head to his chest, closing my eyes.

"Karly, will you be my girlfriend?" Shawn proposed.

"Of course," I grinned and felt his arms move around my waist.

Soon I fell asleep in his arms.
