Crush (Rodrick x Reader) (DOAWK)

More than a crush

"Why do you make confessing sound so easy y/f/b?!" There you were, sitting on your bed, listening to a love song written by y/f/b. 

All this song did was remind you of your crush, Rodrick. 

You had known Rodrick since you moved to this neighbourhood, but you've never really been close to him. 

You were best friends with his younger brother Greg and each time you came over, you'd see him. 

Every time you saw him, you got flustered. You'd turn red and you weren't able to form proper sentences. 

It was honestly, more than a crush. You were deeply in love with him.

But there was no way you'd ever let Greg know that!

Greg was like a brother to you. You'd known each other for what felt like forever and you'd tell each other everything. But this, this was a huge secret you had to keep from him.

If Greg ever found out about your crush, he'd tease you forever. Or worse, he'd tell Rodrick!

The only people who know were your other two best friends, Rowley and Holly. You could tell them because you knew they would never tease you, and they would never, ever tell Rodrick.

As you were laying on your bed, sulking about how you'd never have the confidence to confess, you hear a rock get thrown at your window.

"Ughh... I have to get up...." You groan as you get off your bed.

You walk to the window and open it.

There is Greg, standing at the window with another rock in hand, ready to throw it.

"Hold your fire!" You yell.

"Oh! Hey y/n! Wanna come over today?" He asks.

The nerve of this boy. Making you get off your bed and then asking you to leave the house! You wanted to throw a rock at him, but instead, you replied "Yeah whatever..."

You slowly walk down the stairs and then open the front door.

"Wow y/n. You look terrible today." Greg says as you walk over to him.

"Can it Greg. You interrupted my sulking time." You snap, as you walk over to the house next door.

Greg stares at you confused, before running to catch up with you.

He opens the door and then yells "Mom! Y/n's here!"

You then see the familiar woman come over to the lobby, with a 4-year-old clinging to her leg.

"Hi Y/n," Susan says.

"Hi Mrs Heffley." You respond.

"Uh, Mom. We're gonna go upstairs." Greg says as he takes your arm and practically drags you upstairs.

You were getting dragged to Greg's room when someone came down from the attic.

There he was. 

Only wearing pants and shoes, down comes Rodrick Heffley.

Your eyes were fixed on him. Even if you wanted to look away, you couldn't.

"Why are you staring at me?" He asks, looking at you with disgust.

"What?" You say snapping back into reality. "Oh.. I wasn' t staring at you, I was just zoning off." 

Not a complete lie, but still a lie.

Your cheeks were turning VERY red.

Rodrick nodded, still weirded out.

"Well okay then... uh... I'm gonna just leave." He says.

You were not paying attention to what he was saying. You were too busy being fascinated with his dark brown eyes.

You finally managed to look away once Greg pulled you inside his room and shut the door. 

"What was that?!" He asks.

"What?" You responded.

"You seemed so in love with my brother or something. You've gone so red!" He says.

"Shoot,"  You think. "Greg's onto me."

"There was a bug on my shirt and I got scared and I get red when I get scared." You say. A pathetic excuse, but it was all you could think of.

Greg nods, still suspicious of you.

"Anyways, enough about Rodrick. Let's watch some youtube!" He says.

You sigh, knowing that you had kind of successfully hidden your attraction.
