OMORI ! sunny x gn! reader .
00. my summer love .
❀ in which mari’s hushed little brother falls head over heels for you, and decides to confesses his feelings under the sun’s embrace.
first of all, let’s say this is an au where the incident never happened and they lived happily ever after ✋. his extremely shy and stand-offish manner made him believe that this crush was going to lead nowhere in the first place, yet he always managed to find himself gravitating towards you on those nostalgic sunny afternoons. whenever you smiled, whenever you spoke, whenever your endearing hands grabbed his, he merely smiled in response. all while sparks and fireworks played in his head and heart. now, having these feelings for 6 consecutive months began to make it difficult for sunny to bottle his crush up. so, he made a risky decision. it took a hell of a while for him to actually build the courage, admittedly, most of the courage being given by kel and mari who always said that your unusually loving actions were the evidence to say you reciprocated sunny’s feelings. the plan was just to bring you a bit into the woods for some privacy, while the gang were all having a picnic in the usual spot, and to confess. sunny being sunny, the main priority in his head was to recite the part where he assured you that he still wants to be friends if you don’t like him back, since he’s genuinely so afraid you may be weirded out by his feelings. even if you didn’t reciprocate, he would still love you platonically and endlessly.
“Y/N, can I talk to you in private please?” The timid boy spoke, his heart slightly palpitating once he said so. You reply, “Hm? Sure.” As you quietly go to stand up, Sunny’s face forms a subtle grin when he sees Mari and Kel discreetly smiling and holding thumbs up at him. Only then does he feel slightly better. You follow Sunny into the familiar, humid woods. His charcoal hair illuminated in the sun, curiously peering through the green leaves of trees. Despite only seeing his back, the fact you were alone with him in the beautiful woods created a warm feeling in your head. You walk a little more until you reach a fallen log, in which Sunny stops at and sits down; you take a seat next to him, being met with only sweet silence as he seems to be mustering up something to say. His legs and feet awkwardly shuffle in place, and his fingers played with one another. ”Do you like anyone?” The ravenette finally questioned, an apparent blush appearing on his cheeks. You were taken aback a bit, unaware that he wanted to ask you about that topic. Though, what that implied gave you high hopes. You gave him a delightful smile and rested your hands in your lap. “Yes, why?”
“Is it someone I know?”
“…Yea.” You grow slightly rose as well while you watch Sunny’s eyes trailed off into the distance, amongst the glistening river bank and tempered trees slowly waving at you. As you observe inventively, you see his face start to sort of contort in concern, as if he messed something up. “Ah— Um.” he tries to calm himself down, softening his expression, “Well— I just wanted to tell you that…” Sunny hesitantly meets your eyes, and for once they gleamed from something other than the sun. He shifts his body to face you, leaning on his arm for support. You gladly do the same and at this point, your faces are closer than ever before, this in which you grin nervously at. “I like you. Like that.” Sunny finally admitted with a half embarrassed - half dainty look on his face.
Even though you anticipated a confession like that, seeing and hearing it turn to reality lit a fuse in your heart, causing a sort of excitement. Your corners of your lips tugged upwards as you softly blinked, knowing he wanted to say more. ”I really really like you, but if you don’t feel the same, that’s okay. I just wanted to let you know. We can continue being usual friends, I don’t wanna make you weirded out or anything—” “Sunny— Sunny! I like you a lot too.” Playfully, you interrupt his resultant ranting and reassured. Your sweet body language and nurturing expression made it almost hard for Sunny to believe it was real. He’s extremely glad, but also at a lost for words, he didn’t practice what to say in this situation much… —, “I want to be more than friends with you… If that’s ok.” You chuckled at the last part in a cold sweat, as Sunny’s shocked and content face wasn’t exactly easy to read. The lovestruck boy is already aware that if he sits in silence for too long, it’ll make the confession go stale, so he answered with an almost exaggerated but delighted tone, ”Of course that’s ok, I’m glad you feel the same.” You and the rosey boy exchange pleasant yet sheepish smiles at one another, before he stands up. Though, about to say something, you quickly sneaked in, ”So, we’re together now, right?” You asked half jokingly. Sunny can’t help but beam when he responds with ‘yes’. As you chuckle and stand up as well, you both make your way back to the picnic spot.
Since it was a quite short way there, you took the swift opportunity to grasp Sunny’s hand. Rough in some places, yet warm and pillowy overall, you continued to hold it lovingly. He doesn’t face to look at you, but evidently grins and looks at the ground, starstruck. He can’t believe he managed to pull someone so amazing as you. Now, a new chapter of his life could begin.
