a/n: this is the first time i post here! also, english is not my first language, so there may be some mistakes. I wrote because Iineeded something fluff with johnny, also i’m addicted to videos where the guy asks how couples met on tiktok.
you and your best friend johnny walked together through the hectic new york streets, it was one of those days where you guys did something together and talked about the busy week. you two had just left a coffee shop, you were laughing at something he said, while holding your latte, johnny had his traditional americano in his hands. after walked a little, you realize that a man is walking in your direction with a little camera in his hands.
“i think that guy is coming to our direction and i think he’s recording something for tiktok or something like that”. you’re the more reserved and shy type, while johnny is the definition of a charismatic person who wasn’t ashamed of anything.
“don’t worry, if he wants record something, i talk to him”.
as the man approached, he asked: “are you two a couple?”.
“we are n-” “yes!” johnny interrupted you before you could complete the sentence, which made you throw a confused look at him, who just replied with a wink.
“would you mind telling us the story of how you met?”
“ah, it’s a funny story, right love?” the moment you heard johnny calling you love, your heart warmed. johnny just looked at you and you answered “right”.
“we met each other in middle school, she was transferred to my school and the first day she fell in front of me” everyone laughed, including you remembering the scene “since then we have been inseparable, we went to the prom together, we studied at the same university…” “and now i’m a history teacher and he’s a photographer” it was the first time you’ve been able to speak a complete sentence since that farce started, johnny smirked at you.
“and when did you go from friends to lovers?”
“in the first year of university, she couldn’t resist my charms” the two men laughed and you decided to tease
“that’s what they say ‘i fell first but he fell harder’, after a while he begged to go to a date with me, right honey?” you said pinching his cheeks
“we can see how close you are, you still seem to be friends! but seriously, when did you realize you were in love with her?” the man asked johnny.
“ah, i remember that moment perfectly, one day we were studying for university exams and it started to rain, she said that her dream was to dance in the rain, so we left the dorm and started running and dancing without music in the rain! she was so happy and so bright! it seems that everything happened in slow motion, she hugged me and i felt that my heart was going to come out of my mouth”
johnny finished talking and chuckled. you were trying to control your heart, because you felt it beating faster and faster. for a second you thought he was really being truthful, that he had fallen in love with you. the man asked you the same question:
“johnny played volleyball in high school and it was the last game he would play for the school, he scored the match point and when he was going to celebrate, he looked for me across the bleachers, then he smiled at me and i realized i liked him in another way”.
your answer was sincere, that day you really realized that you were in love with your best friend and that you were fucked because you didn’t want to ruin the beautiful friendship you had.
“and what do you like most about her?”
“so many things…” johnny thought for a few seconds “ah dude, i can’t think just one thing! she is amazing, dedicated, caring, she is everything to me” even embarrassed, you let out a laugh that left johnny with a huge smile on his face.
the man asked you the same question and looking into the eyes of johnny, who was waiting for your answer and, again in the most sincere way possible, you said:
“he is very positive, he always makes me happy in any situation. his hug is very warm too and of course, his honey eyes, which is the thing that makes me most in love with him”
johnny was surprised by his answer and also felt his heart beat faster. the twinkle in your eye when talking about him also makes johnny think you’re in love with him, but a friend could say that about a friend, right?
you haven’t seen your best friend blushed in a long time, johnny was always a confident guy and he was usually the one who made you blushed.
“apparently someone got embarrassed here” the man said to lighten the mood. “what are your names?”
“thanks for sharing some of your story with us. you can tell how much you are in love with each other.”
after saying goodbye to the man, the two of you were walking in the park. johnny noticed you were different. johnny’s words, even if they were part of a lie, touched you and your heart a lot.
“hm? yes, i’m okay… you can pretend well, hm?” you said giving him a little punch on the arm and letting out a smirk “i almost believed that you really had fallen in love with me”
“but i fell in love with you.” johnny said quietly but enough for you to hear and stop walking. “what?”
“i didn’t lie at all while talking with that guy.” he turned towards you, took your hand that wasn’t busy with coffee. in that moment, you felt like his hand was uniquely made to hold yours and all the famous butterflies were flying in your stomach. “since that day we danced in the rain, everything has changed. i realized that seeing you happy makes me happy and since that day, i wanted to be the reason of your happiness. you are the most important person in my life, don’t tell this to my mother!” the last sentence he said in a whisper and you smiled. “see?! i love see this smile, i love to make you smile and i am completely in love with you! you must be confused and it’s okay! i would be too, but i guess can’t hide this feeling any-” johnny was interrupted by your lips on his. it was a little peck, but enough to shut the man up.
“i’m not confused because i was also speaking the truth to him. i’m in love with you too, stupid!”
“so did you really fell in love first?”
“maybe” you gave an embarrassed laugh “and you fell harder?”
“maybe… but, i have to beg you to go on a date with me?”
you shook your head “all you need is to kiss me now”
so johnny kissed you. it was a kiss full of love and it sure had been worth waiting so long for it to happen.
“hm… you taste like latte” johnny said smiling in the middle of the kiss
