"Can you write about Shawn hanging out with his ex and y/n is insecure about it."

Of course I can. I'm sorry for the late response and I hope you enjoy. I'm slowly getting to the imagines and being busy with basketball and school - it'll be quite a while.
Thank you all for being patient with me! <3 ~ or pretending to be :)))

You couldn't help but be jealous of the sight of them. You know Shawn would never do anything to hurt you. He'll try to, at least. But, you know him, you know he wouldn't do that. But, seeing how shawn smiled with happiness while he watched her facial expression turn ecstatically caused by the thing he told, made you feel insecure. You knew, she was shawn's first love. He has told you about her before with a comforting, "but I'm with you now. and that means I only have love and eyes for you." at the end. Wanting you to know that he doesn't care about her anymore.. The words made your heart flutter and your cheeks blush with red.

But, seeing them now. Sitting at that table, laughing and smiling together as if they had fallen back in love with one another, made you believe the words he told you, was all a lie.

"Excuse me ma'am. You're holding up the line" a young man tapped on your shoulder which made you jump. You looked at him and realized there were many others waiting behind him - looking quite bored and annoyed by the wait. "I-I'm sorry." You quickly mumbled and pushed passed him and the people who seemed indignant.

You rushed out of the restaurant and didn't bother hauling a taxi as you were too busy having too many thoughts run within your mind. You walked to the small park near the small apartment building and sat at the old bench that faced the river. When you needed to clear your head, this is where you always go. Sitting down with a huff, you placed your head in the palm of your hands and sighed.

What felt like hours of you sitting there, you let out another sigh and leaned back. The sky now at sunset made you realize how long you've been there. It only felt like a couple of minutes. You chuckled and shook your head. "Y/n?"

You look at the direction you heard the voice and saw shawn standing there. Once he met your eyes, he smiled and walked towards you. You gave him an emotionless expression and looked forward. You know you should be acting this way towards him but you couldn't help but still feel a bit of anger. The scene of them replaying over in your mind like replaying a certain part of a movie that you desperately love.

"Hey," he softly spoke and sat down besides you. He grabbed your cold hands and frowned. "You've been out here for quite a while if your hands are this cold. What's wrong?" He asked and searched your face for an answer. You continued looking straight and gave a blank expression. He sighed and grabbed your chin, making you look at him. "Honey, talk me."

You melted at the nickname he said. He knew it was your favorite and he would always use it to your disadvantage because he knew it was a weakness to you.

He raised his eyebrow and waited for you to reply. You pulled your hand away from his and looked down. "Why didn't you tell me the friend you were going to see was your ex." You mumbled.

Shawn stayed silent for a couple of seconds before explaining. "I knew you wouldn't feel comfortable with the idea of me seeing her. But, I swear, we didn't do anything behind your back. She knows I'm with you."

"What made me more uncomfortable is seeing you with her without knowing shawn." You raised your voice and finally looked at him. He was taken back by the sudden outburst and opened his mouth to speak but you beat him to it.

"I know, I can't help but feel hurt of the thought of you with her but you not telling me and finding it out by myself, hurt even more." Shawn looked down in shame and slightly nodded at your words.

Both of you sat there for a while until you got up to head back to the apartment. Shawn grabbed your hand, making your movements come to a halt. "Please y/n. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm sorry for hurting you."

You closed your eyes and realized you couldn't keep a grudge on him. "promise me we won't keep secrets from each other." You turned around and saw him smile. He nodded like a child which caused you to giggle. "I promise y/n." He shot up from the bench with a big smile plastered on his face.

You stuck your pinky out and grinned, "pinky promise?"

Shawn chuckled at the action and wrapped his pinky slightly tight around yours and nodded. "I promise." He leaned down and placed a small kiss to your lips. "I pinky promise."
