Big Book of Lemons

Basil x Male Reader

Y/n managed free easily, since he was the strongest in the group. Well Aubrey was a close second...

"Aw, time to go already?" Y/n sighed. He hated it when it was time to pack up.

"Yeah, sorry Y/n. Cya tomorrow!" She gave a wave and walked off with Sunny in tow.

Aubrey flashed him a peace sign and left next.

Now it was only Basil and Y/n.

'This is my chance!' He thought.

"H-hey Y/n?"

"Yo, whats up? Need something?"

"U-uh, c-could you..."

Y/n stared at him intensely.

"Comewithmetomyhousetonight!" He squeaked out, taking a moment to breath after.

"Really? Uh, sure! I love a good sleepover"

His face brightened.

"But I would have to ask my mom"

Now his face darkened.

Y/n's mom never liked Basil. She would always say that he is too clingy, or annoying in some ways.

Y/n turned around and put his phone to his ear.

"...mom...friends...stay night...clothes"

He turned back around. "Okay, we can go"

"Really? Just like that?"

"Well, yeah! I didn't specify WHO I was staying with, so your good!"

Now Basil was absolutely certain he had fell in love.

'No turning back now...'

They walked to Basil's house for the night, Polly wasn't home.

As Y/n was making himself comfortable, he heard a knock at the door.

"Come on in"

The door opened and Basil's face exploded with red again. Y/n had no shirt on, so he could see all of his muscles.

"Whats up?"

"i-i-i m-made y-you a-a snack" His voice was very low and very hard to hear.

"Really? Thats epic. Thanks" Basil set the plate down on the wardrobe next to him and takes a deep breath.

"C-could w-we... t-talk for a s-second?"

"Uh... okay? Come sit down"

He patted a spot next to him and Basil slowly made his way to Y/n.

"So whats wrong? You seem nervous"

Another deep breath. "I have some things I want to confess"

"Go nuts. What is it?"

"I like you. I like you a lot. Will you d-date me?"

Y/n reeled back. A confession? From one of his best friends? He takes a moment to think.

"Basil..."

"Y-yeah?"

"Look. I'm flattered. I really am. But..."

Basil looks like she's about to cry.

"I don't swing that way, sorry. You'll have to find someone else"

"...really?"

"Yes. I'm sorry" Y/n felt like shit. This was the person that he cared so much about, and it hurt him to reject them.
