Fred's pov:

I couldn't deny the growing feelings within me, the way my heart skipped a beat whenever Y/N entered the room. We had become close friends, sharing laughter, secrets, and an unspoken connection that seemed to deepen with each passing day. But now, it felt like something more was blossoming between us, something that couldn't be ignored.

One evening, I mustered the courage to ask Y/N out. "Hey, Y/N," I said, my voice filled with a mix of nerves and anticipation. "Would you like to go to a karaoke night with me? Just as friends, of course."

Y/N's eyes lit up with a smile, and their response was filled with genuine excitement. "I'd love to, Fred! Karaoke sounds like a blast."

As we arrived at the vibrant karaoke bar, the air buzzed with energy. We found a cozy corner table, surrounded by the sound of laughter and songs. I couldn't help but feel a nervous flutter in my stomach as I pondered the song choices. And then, I saw it-a song that seemed to perfectly capture the essence of our relationship, even though we weren't officially dating.

When it was my turn to sing, I took a deep breath, steadying myself, and walked up to the stage. The room fell silent as the spotlight focused on me. The familiar melody began, and I poured my heart into the lyrics, hoping that Y/N would understand the subtext behind my choice.

"When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well, I understand
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?"

As I sang, I noticed Y/N's gaze locked on me, their expression a mix of surprise and intrigue. The words of the song conveyed the unspoken longing and the complexities of our connection.

"Nights can be empty and nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?"

I poured my soul into the song, every note carrying the weight of my emotions. The lyrics spoke of the unexpected nature of our bond, the way our paths had intertwined when we least expected it.

The crowd erupted into applause as the song ended, but it was Y/N's reaction that mattered most to me. They stood up, their eyes shining with a mixture of emotions, and made their way to the stage. Without a word, they took my hand, and together we stood under the spotlight.

"I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why"

Y/N's voice blended with mine, harmonizing perfectly as we sang the words that echoed our unspoken desires. In that moment, it felt like the world had faded away, leaving only the two of us, connected through the power of music and shared emotions.

As the song reached its final notes, Y/N leaned in, their lips meeting mine in a soft, tender kiss. It was a moment filled with unspoken promises, a confirmation of the feelings that had been growing between us.

"I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me"

As we pulled away, breathless and smiling, the room erupted into applause and cheers. But in that moment, all that mattered was the connection we had forged and the realization that we were ready to embrace whatever lay ahead.

With the music still reverberating in the air and our hearts entwined, Y/N and I continued our karaoke night, celebrating the magic of the moment we had shared. Together, we embarked on a journey of love, knowing that sometimes, the most unexpected connections could lead to the most beautiful beginnings.
