Requested Private by: @shines-in-the-night-for-you, Forever tag: @hanbinwsrt.... @melliflovs
Tell me how do people know what is love?
You and Gilbert had been best friends ever since you were small, when Gilbert met Bash you immediately considered him as your friend. You felt a bit intimidated by the two boys as you were the only girl around the house. You visited Gilbert’s every day to help him with the feminine chores, you loved the both, but you could use some female help around the house.
When you found out Bash was going to Marry Mary you were thrilled to have another female around the house. She could help you around the house and you could talk to her about girl stuff, you could tell Gilbert everything but not everything like all those lady things you couldn’t tell him. He would never understand them and maybe think weird of you.
After the wedding you and Mary got close and you considered her as a big sister. You were like her little sister as she was glad to have you in her life, you could tell her everything. The only thing you were afraid to ask her was what it feels like to be in love, you were starting to develop a crush on your best friend Gilbert, but you needed to be sure.
Mary was hanging up the laundry outside as you watched her work from the porch, both Gilbert and Bash were working on the field so you they couldn’t interrupt your conversation with Mary. You bite your lip soft as you were debating with yourself if you should ask her about your crush, Mary kept hanging up the laundry as she took pieces of clothing from the basket on to the rope that was hanging just above her.
You took a deep breath as you started to set your feet in motion, there was no turning back now. You shuffled nervous towards Mary as she didn’t notice you, - “Mary?” – you said soft as she paused for a moment and looked at you, - “Yes Y/n!” – you walked even closer to her as you were now standing next to her. – “I … I have to ask you something… uncomfortable…”
Mary paused her movement as she frowned at you, - “Is this about your period again Y/n?” – you quickly shook your head as she continued, - “You know it’s perfectly normal for a woman to have those days…” – “No! it’s not about that!” – you interrupted her as you waved your hands desperately in front of you. Mary frowned again as she had no idea what you wanted to talk about, - “What is it then Y/n?”
She took another piece of clothing as she pinned it on the rope, the wind blew soft as it moved some clothing against your skin. – “It… it’s … about … love…?” – you said soft, afraid of her reaction, Mary let a soft laugh escape her mouth as he looked at you with a smile, - “I see, who is the lucky boy?” – you started to move nervously on your feet as you were afraid to answer the question.
“Gilbert…” – you said with your lips pressed together, Mary didn’t understand you, so she moved her hand to her ear to hear you better. – “I’m sorry?” – she said calm as you looked shy at the ground, you moved some dirt away with your foot as Mary tilted your head to her. – “You can tell me Y/n…” – you looked into her warm eyes as you took another deep breath.
“It’s Gilbert…” – you repeated louder for her to hear, Mary smiled soft as she kind of knew already. You lowered your head again after the confession as the wind blew some clothing over your head, stroking your hair. It blew back as Mary tilted your head again, - “What do you want to know, Y/n…” – she took your hand and leaded you to the porch where you could sit down.
“What is it like … to be in love?” – you asked her nervous as you had seated yourself down, you started to fumble your dress nervous as you felt uncomfortable talking about your feelings. Mary laughed soft again as she looked at you, - “Y/n … that is a question that has many answers, but I can give you some advice.” – you thought you asked a stupid question as Mary looked smiling in front of her. – “You and Bash… how does it feel for you?” – Mary smiled again as she looked at the clothing moving around from the wind. – “It’s hard to explain… it’s as if you couldn’t think without the other. You feel whole whenever the other is with you and he makes my heart go all fussy and warm…”
You looked at Mary with admiration as you wished you could have that as well, she noticed it and chuckled soft. – “So, Y/n does Gilbert make your heart go warm and fussy?” – you started to blush and avoided her eye contact as you felt nervous at the sound of his name. – “I think he does…” – Mary replied in your place.
“Why don’t you tell him?” – “No!” – you cut her off as she smiled again at you, - “you’ll have to tell him at one point?” – she raised her eyebrow soft at you as you let out some annoyed sounds that you didn’t want to tell him. – “What is wrong with not telling him, this way our friendship is saved and there is nothing weird between us.” – you called out as you looked at the moving clothing in the distance.
“I know it will be better if you tell him…” – Mary placed her hand on your shoulder as you slowly turned your head towards her, - “for the both of you and who knows maybe he loves you back?” – you sighed soft as you lowered your head again, - “I hope so…” – Mary took your hand that was laying on your lap and squeezed soft in it. – “It will…”
You wanted Gilbert to speak to you with love in his words as you desperately wished he could be yours, but you don’t know how he feels about you. Unless you tell him, the truth and face the consequences.
Bash and Gilbert were working on the field in the meantime as Gilbert suddenly paused. – “Bash can I ask you something?” – Bash nodded as he kept moving his tool over the dirt on the ground. – “It’s about … you know…” – Gilbert made some movements like it was normal what he was talking about, Bash paused for a second and looked at Gilbert’s behaviour? – “unless you tell me what it is, I have no idea what you mean Gilbert?”
Gilbert sighed as he was afraid to speak out the word, - “You know… love…?” – he quickly looked shy at the ground as he was preparing himself for Bash’s laughter. Bash paused again and raised his eyebrow as he heard the word love. – “Are we finally talking about that?” – he teased him as Gilbert rolled his eyes, - “Can you for once leave your silly comments behind and focus on what I want to know?”
“Alright… alright… what do you want to know?” – Bash had thrown his working tool on the ground as he held his hands brief in the air. Gilbert sighed as he started to move his shovel nervous around in the dirt, - “What … what does it feel like to be in love…?” – Gilbert gave Bash some disturbing looks as he warned him not to laugh at him.
Bash held his hand up again to show him that he wasn’t going to laugh, - “Good question Blythe? I don’t have a good answer to that…” – “What do you mean?” – Gilbert cut him off as he threw the shovel on the ground, - “you and Mary are in love, I suppose you should know how it feels then?” Bash nodded soft as Gilbert had a point, Gilbert placed his hands in his pocket as he thought Bash had given him a stupid answer to his question.
“Alright let’s see…”- Bash started as he scratched his cheek, - “being in love means that you will sacrifice anything for the other person, you also want to protect them at all cost, you feel empty without them and she makes my heart beat faster every time she is near. Her kiss feels like a soft cloud as I long for it every moment…” – “alright… I think that’s enough detail…” – Gilbert cut him off as he casually waved his hands in front of him.
“Hey! You said you wanted to know what it feels like to be in love, kissing is just a part of it…” – Bash replied as he laughed soft at Gilbert’s behaviour, - “I know… I know…” – Gilbert replied as if he wasn’t present anymore. – “So, who is she?” – Gilbert looked at Bash in seconds as he looked scared at him. – “Come one Blythe… who is the lucky girl?”
“… no … no one…” – Gilbert stuttered as he looked nervous to anywhere but Bash, - “I don’t believe you!” – Bash teased him as Gilbert gave him an annoyed look. – “Come one Gillie, tell me…” – “you know I hate it when you call me that!” – Gilbert called back as he pointed his finger stern at him.
“then make me stop by telling me who it is… Gillie!” – Gilbert clenched his jaw as he felt frustration come up, - “Gillie tell me?” – Bash kept teasing him as Gilbert was losing his control, - “It’s Y/n!” – he suddenly shouted, and Bash stopped teasing him. – “You happy?” – Gilbert mocked back as he turned his body away from Bash.
Bash came walking in front of Gilbert, - “actually yes…” – Gilbert gave him a playful push as Bash kept laughing loud. – “Seriously Gil, you should tell her!” – “Have you lost your mind! I can’t do that!” – Gilbert shouted back as he ran his hands through his hair. – “I can’t …” – he repeated soft as he looked at his house in the distance.
“You never know how she feels if you don’t tell her?” – Bash told him as he placed his hands on his shoulder. – “Your right… but I don’t want to ruin what we have!” – “you won’t!” – Bash interrupted him as Gilbert sighed soft. – “Just tell her, you’ll feel better…” – Gilbert sighed again as he knew he needed to tell you. – “Alright I’ll tell her, on one condition! You never, ever call me Gillie again!” – Gilbert gave Bash a stern look as he nodded quick, - “Sailor’s honour!” – he called out as he held his one hand in the air.
Gilbert took a deep breath as he started to make his way over to you, you also took a deep breath and got up. Mary watched you leave as she wished you the best of luck, she already knew he would probably like you back as she noticed it subtle.
You and Gilbert kept walking towards each other without the knowledge of the other. Both of you frowned as you saw each other in sight, you kept walking over to him as Gilbert was equally confused. – “Y/n?” – Gilbert said as you called out his name at the same time, both of you laughed soft at what happened.
“I need to tell you something!” – both of you spoke at the same time and you laughed again, - “You first…” – Gilbert said to you as he was nervous to tell you first, your face showed scared wrinkles as you didn’t want to tell him first. – “No please you go first…” – you said as you looked shy at the ground, Gilbert gasped soft as he didn’t want to tell you how he felt.
“alright… we’ll tell it on the count of three?” – Gilbert suggested after a long silent pause, you nodded soft as Gilbert looked shy at you, - “One…” – Gilbert said soft, - “Two…” – you replied after him as you felt your throat go sore. – “Three…” – Gilbert said soft and nodded to you to tell it.
“I love you!” – both of you called out, both of you then frowned as you heard a confused confession between the shouting. – “You love me?” – both of you said at the same time as you started to laugh again, - “I suppose we do…” – you replied nervous as Gilbert was still laughing from your synchronisation. – “Now that we cleared that up, Y/n may I kiss you?” – you looked shocked at him as you didn’t expect it, but you nodded soft.
Gilbert took a piece of your dress in his hands as he pulled you closer to him. – “I’m going to kiss you now…” – he told you again as he hoped you wouldn’t stop him, you replied his remark by closing your eyes. Gilbert moved his head closer to you as he placed his lips against yours, he felt your soft lips onto his and his heart started to beat faster with every touch.
Your heart wants all warm and fussy as Gilbert kissed you sweet, you moved your hands to his neck as he placed his on your waist. Both of you pulled away after some moments and kept gazing at each other. – “I think I know now what it feels like to be in love and I never want the feeling to go away…” – Gilbert said soft as you licked your lips soft, - “me neither” – you replied and placed your lips against his again.
