Three years of Almost (Tres)

Lindtsey Stacey Aubrey Sevilleja x Fem reader

Prompt:

Y/N Malisorn, the cheerful, easy-going underclassman, has secretly loved Stacey, the cold, proud top student, for years - even if Stacey treats her like competition she wants to crush.

What Stacey doesn't know is that the anonymous flowers and snacks she's been getting for three years are from Y/N, who's too shy and too gay to even stand within a meter of her without combusting. Only Y/N's best friend, Sheena, knows the truth, and has been the secret messenger all along.

In public, Y/N and Stacey are rivals - the known "Queen Bee vs Happy Clown" energy at their elite school - but privately, Y/N's heart races every time Stacey so much as glances at her. Stacey, raised by two powerful women, Freen and Becky, grew up with a wall around her heart, suspicious of anyone who approached her. Meanwhile, Y/N, daughter of famous actresses Faye and Yoko, hides her wealthy background and lives modestly to avoid judgment.

One day, due to a misunderstanding and a little scheming from Sheena, Y/N and Stacey have to fake date to save their reputations after a scandalous photo spreads online. Forced to act sweet on each other for the media, Stacey starts noticing how genuine Y/N's smile is and how her laughter makes Stacey's world feel a little less lonely.

As fake hand-holding turns into real hand-holding, and fake flirting turns into real stolen glances, the rivalry between them shifts into something dangerously tender.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever.
What happens when Stacey finds out that the anonymous gifts she secretly treasured were always from Y/N - the girl she once thought she hated?
