The Great Book of Reader Inserts (Crush Edition)

Male Crush x Female Reader (In the Creek)

"Hello?" you answered your phone, waiting for a response.

"(Y/N)! Hi!" your friend nearly yelled into the phone.

"What, (Y/F/N)?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out at the creek today?"

"Which one?"

"You know which one."

"No, I don't."

"You know. The one with the rope swing." If she were sitting next to you right now, she would be jabbing your side.

You realized excitedly which one (Y/F/N) was talking about. It was the creek that you had met (C/N) at. He was on the rope swing trying to show off to  his friends, when his foot got stuck and he face planted in the dirt. Even though you didn't know (C/N) at the time, you rushed forward to help him. You helped (C/N) sit up and retrieved pocket tissues from your bag to apply pressure to his wounds. You later learned that you both went to the same school and that you had a lot of classes together. He made a habit out of waiting for you at the end of the day and walking you home since you lived close to each other. You found yourself falling for (C/N), his dazzling smile, his humor, and his personality. You soon found out that (Y/F/N) had realized your crush. She promised to keep it a secret.

"Ohhh! That one! I love that one!"

"I know. So, 2:00?"

"Sounds great! See you then."

"Bye!"

You looked at the clock, it was 1:15. It would take you a while to get to the creek so you decided to start walking now. You quickly changed into comfortable shorts and a (F/C) tank top. You slipped on your flip-flops and headed towards your destination, flip-flops flopping against the hot pavement.

When you arrived at the creek, you spotted (Y/F/N) leaning against a tree, texting someone.

"Who are you texting?" (Y/F/N) quickly put her phone away. "And why are you wearing (C/F/N)'s hat?"

"Oh, (C/F/N) didn't want to get it wet when....." She laughed nervously. "I mean.....he gave it to me.....for a special holiday.....where you.....give friends.....hats." Did she really think you were that stupid? And why was (C/F/N) here? You shot her a weird look. She returned it with a nervous smile. "Well..., should we get going?"

You brushed off your suspicions and headed down the creek with your friend. You both sang random songs, because why not, and tried to push each other down into the water.

After a while, you neared a bend. You thought you heard people talking but figured it was just your imagination.

For fun, you tickled (Y/F/N)'s sides and as payback, she grabbed the bottom of your shirt and yanked it up over your head, revealing your (F/C) bra. She then threw your shirt up into a tall tree. She pushed you down into the water. You felt sharp pain in your palms as stones not yet rounded by the flow of water cut into them.

"Sorry," (Y/F/N) whispered. "But you'll thank me later." She then ran off to hide in the bushes.

You sighed. Suddenly, two people rounded the bend in the creek. (C/N) and (C/F/N). You quickly tried to stand up to hide but it was too late. Luckily, the water covered your chest when you sat down. (C/N) turned while talking to his friend and saw you sitting in the creek.

"Oh, hey, (Y/N)!" he said excitedly, not realizing you were topless. "Why are you sitting in the creek?" Suddenly, (C/N) was falling towards you as (C/F/N) pushed him from behind, then ran off to join (Y/F/N) in the bushes.

You yelped as (C/N) landed on top of you, being pushed down onto the stones again. His hands and legs were on either side of you, not wanting to crush you. His (E/C) orbs looked into your (E/C) ones worriedly. He leaned back so that his hands no longer rested on either side of you and pulled you forward so that he could cup your face. His face was dangerously close to yours.

"Oh my gosh! (Y/N)! Are you okay?" he asked frantically, concerned.

"I'm fine!" you answered, trying to reassure him of your safety. "I'm fine! Really!"

"I'm so sorry! I'm so, so sorry!" (C/N) apologized.

You were surprised (C/N) hadn't noticed you weren't wearing a top. He probably thought you were wearing a tank top with thin straps.

"I don't know what happened! One minute I was walking perfectly fine, then the next I was falling for  you-- I mean on you! I'm so, so, so sorry!"

You couldn't help it. He was just too cute. You gently put your hands on his cheeks while he was still frantically explaining how sorry he was and gently placed your lips on his. You felt his face heat up under your hands. As you pulled away, you saw that his face had gone as red as a cherry tomato.

"I-- I-- Uh--" You could see that his brain wasn't properly working. Probably overheated.

"I'm sorry," You said as he tried to make words with his mouth. Had you crossed a line? "I just really like you. I think you're the kindest, sweetest, funniest guy I've ever met."

"Uh-- I--"

"I'm sorry if I crossed a line."

"Uhhh-- I---"

Yep, you definitely broke (C/N).

"I'm sor---"

"I REALLY LIKE YOU TOO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU LIKED ME BACK AND YOU'RE SUPER PRETTY AND NICE AND A LOT OF MY FRIENDS REALLY LIKE YOU AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT SEE YOU AROUND PROBABLY DO TOO BUT, but.......I LOVE YOU!

You sat in shock as (C/N) shouted his confession to you.

"And I have ever since I first met you." And with that he leaned forward and placed his lips gently on yours, capturing them in another short, sweet kiss.

As he pulled away, you teased him, giggling, "That was some speech you had there."

"I know. It took four rough drafts and a whole lot of spell check," he jokingly replied while reaching down into the water to tickle your sides. You laughed as he started to tickle you, but suddenly, the tickling stopped.

(C/N) looked at you worriedly. "Uhhhh, (Y/N)? Why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

Extended ending:

From behind the bushes.....

"Just the end we were looking for. Those two finally confessed to each other," (C/F/N) whispered.

"With a little help from us," (Y/F/N) whispered back.

They high-fived each other. "Mission accomplished."
