---------------------------
You had just gotten into a huge fight with your father. The two of you were walking down the streets of New York, trying to figure out what to eat when suddenly he had started arguing with you. He had said some mean things and told you he didn’t want to be around you so you walked away from him, the both of you going your separate ways on the dark streets while tears streamed down your face.
It was dark, the stars speckled through the sky as you walked through the streets of New York. You had your phone clutched in one hand and your purse hung on your other arms shoulder.
You were heading to your best friend Dave’s house. He lived in the dame neighborhood as you so it was easy to remember the way from where you were. Your best friend always had a way of making you feel better, he knew about your issues at home and all your other issues in general. The two of you shared every and anything all the time, you would by lying if you said you hadn’t been in love with him since you guys were in middle school together.
Sobs wracked through your chest while you walked the way to Dave’s house. The tears blurred your vision as you walked, you could barely see what was in front of you and it seemed like every time you finally blinked away the tears clouding your vision they would come rushing back.
As you were walking a force suddenly pulled you backwards. You stumbled back and let out a shriek of fear. A man had come out of the shadows and tried to pull your purse off of your shoulder, when he did your purse didn’t come off immediately meaning that the force he pulled your purse with also pulled your entire body with it.
The sheer force that the man had pulled your purse with caused you to stumble and fall to the concrete sidewalk with your purse still attatched to your shoulder. Your breath was knocked out of you when you fell, you sat wounded and trying to catch your breath. The same man came back over and gripped the strap of your purse pulling at it, you grab at it and pull it as well so now the both of you were pulling at it.
You stand up while pulling at your purse but when you get up the mystery man takes 2 long strides to you and pulls out a knife. “Hand over the purse” he says lowly.
Now you were sobbing more than you had been before. You let go of your purse, your eyes only locked onto the knife in the mans hand. Sobs echoed throughout the empty street, the man grabbed your purse from your hand and turned around, jogging away from you while you leaned against the wall of a random building behind you as you sobbed.
Your sobs were interrupted when you heard a loud thump to your left. You turn your head in the direction of the sound and see the same man on the ground, your purse lying beside him, and Kickass, New York’s very own super hero in front of the groaning man.
You stay rooted where you were standing, you didn’t know if that man would get up and start another fight so you didn’t dare risk it.
Instead, you look around the ground for your phone. You spot it face down on the sidewalk, you hurriedly pick it up and dial 911 while never taking your eyes off of the mystery man and the superhero.
The man was still on the ground groaning while Kickass stood over him. “Tell y/n you’re sorry” he says
The man ignores his words and gets back up. He swings at Kickass, the superhero quickly dodged the punch and knocked him out.
You had already gave the police your location and hung up the phone. Now you were left on the barely lit street, staring at your savior. The superhero grabs your purse from the ground and walks over to you quickly. Your eyes watch him tentatively as he walks towards you.
Before you could get the words ‘thank you’ out, the superhero is standing in front of you with a hand on your bicep and speaking “are you okay?” he asks worriedly. You could definitely tell he was trying to disguise his voice in some way which was completely understandable, he wanted to keep his identity a secret.
Now, you’ve never had an encounter with the infamous superhero everyone had been talking about but you didn’t expect to hear so much worry in the mans tone.
You nod softly and swallow nervously. “Thank you” you tell him quietly, too shaken up to find your real voice.
“You’re welcome. Now tell me, are you okay?” He asks, his voice carrying the same amount of worry as it did last time. Yes, he was a superhero but he was still a random person whom didn’t know you, you didn’t expect him to show this much worry for someone he didn’t know
“I think so” you whisper, your wide eyes meeting his. You were well aware of his hand still resting on your bicep.
“Wait- were you crying” the superhero stresses, his voice cracking slightly.
“uh-“ but before you got the chance to answer the both of you hear police sirens. Next thing you know he’s putting your purse back on your shoulder and gently pulling you to walk with him in the opposite direction of the police.
The walk was silent for a moment but that gave you a chance to rethink of what was happening. You didn’t know why the superhero was being so nice to you but you were confused. You also thought back to the encounter when Kickass had first showed up, he called you by your name. You hadn’t given the superhero a name, you hadn’t even spoken yet but somehow he knew your name. So thats when you came to the conclusion that Kickass was definitely someone you knew or at least he knew you.
You furrowed your eyebrows and stopped walking. His hand fell from your back and you turned to him with a knowing yet curious expression.
“You know me” you state
When you said that, he immediately tensed. “Wha- no I don’t” He laughs nervously.
The both of you were now stopped on the sidewalk, facing each other. You with a curious expression and him with a tense one, well at least from what you could see under the mask. “You said my name” you state
“no I didn’t” The boy behind the mask whispers tensely, shaking his head in the process
“yes you did” you press on, squinting your eyes at him as you do so
“No I didn’t” He shakes his head again, his voice getting slightly louder but the octave of his voice getting higher as well
You tilt your head as you study him over. You recognized that voice, he was finally letting his true voice show even if by accident and you had definitely heard it somewhere. You stare at him for a moment with squinted eyes and your head tilted.
Dave.
You knew that voice. The person in front of you was none other than your best friend Dave and you were sure of it. There was no way it wasn’t, he sounded exactly like that and his voice raised and cracked when he was nervous. Now the worry made sense, he was so worried because you guys were best friends. This would also explain why he had been usually busy recently. You just couldn’t believe he hadn’t told you or confided in you about this whole new persona.
When you had realized it was Dave behind the mask, your face turned into one of shock. You pushed his chest slightly and looked at the boy in front if you with wide eyes.
“Wha-“ He exclaims but is cut off by you
“You!” You raise your voice, pointing a finger at him as you take a step towards him
His eyes wides and he raises his hands up. He takes a step backwards when you step towards him “Me?” He yells nervously in response. His back hits the wall of a building behind them but you continue to step toward him.
“Dave!” You whisper shout, poking your finger into his chest
His eyes widen even bigger if you thought that was possible. The superhero clears his throat and keeps his hands held up by his head. “I-Im not Dave! Who’s Dave?” He stutters
“I know its you Dave, I could recognize my best friend from anywhere” You hiss at him, poking your finger into his chest once more.
The boy gives up on defending himself and lowers his hands to his sides. “Okay, okay. Just- can we get to your house before we talk about this” Dave grabs your hand from his chest softly and holds it in his.
You stare at him with squinted eyes for a moment before you give in. He drops his hand from yours and looks at you with his usual kind eyes. You sigh and look down at the ground before looking back up at him, you swallow “can we go to yours?” you ask
“Yeah, of course” Dave whispers in response, grabbing your hand softly into his and walking in the direction of his house, you right next to him. The walk to his house was silent, the only sound being the things around you and the sound of your footsteps.
Once the two of you were at his house and inside of his bedroom, he sits you on the bed and sits next to you. He had already changed out of his superhero attire and he lended you some of his clothes since you would be staying the night, not wanting to go home to your dad just yet.
“Y/N, Are you okay?” He asks gently
“you already asked me that” You respond, looking down at your hands in your lap
“but I don’t believe you” He responds, leaning forward so he could see your face.
You shrug and furrow your brows. “I mean, Im not completely okay at the moment” you admit softly, not daring to look up and look him in his eyes.
“I know, I could tell” Dave responds just as softly. “but something was bothering you before that douche bag got to you. He didn’t hurt you did he?” Dave speaks, his tone starting off soft and progressively getting stronger and worried
“No, he didn’t hurt me.” You shake your head, sure at the moment you physically hurt a bit but now you weren’t in any pain at all.
“Are you sure?” He worries again
“Yeah, I’m sure” You say, nodding your head and wringing you hands in your lap
“So, What else happened that you’re not telling me?” Dave asks gently, his hand gently landing on her arm
“I just got into a fight with my dad again” You dismiss, shaking your head softly
“so you walked all by yourself in the dark? Why not just walk across the street to my house?” He asks, worry lacing his tone but also confusion. If you got into a fight with your dad or if anything else was wrong with you, you would usually just walk across the street to his house and seek comfort. The same thing with him, if he needed you he would come over to your house and sneak through your window.
You finally look up, your eyes meeting his. “We were on our way to grab something to eat and he started yelling at me about how I was a terrible daughter. He told me to get away from him which I wanted to anyways and then while I was trying to walk to your house that whole thing happened” You tell him honestly
“you were on your way here?” He asks, his brows dipping down while his hand stays on your arm
“yeah” you whisper with a nod
“good, you can always come here” Dave nods with a thoughtful expression
You nod in response, licking your lips slightly and looking back down to your lap. You were always very thankful for your friendship with Dave, he had helped you through so much. You didn’t want to ruin your friendship but you couldn’t help but want more.
“So, why didn’t you tell me you were Kickass?” You ask, looking back up at him with a raised brow. Your expression wasn’t angry but more accusing.
“I didn’t want you to become a target. I needed to keep you safe” your best friend answers truthfully
You nod “I understand, you’re forgiven” You respond
Dave shoots up from the bed and now looks down at you with a shocked expression. “Wait- Really?” he asks you confused
You look up at him and laugh slightly “Yeah. I mean you were trying to keep me safe” you shrug, looking up at him with a smile “you’re forgiven, plus I could never stay mad at you” you admit
He smiles one of his beautiful wide smiles at you and you couldn’t help but feel the butterflies flutter in your stomach. You thought Dave had one of the most beautiful smiles you’d ever seen.
“Thats great to hear, Im never able to stay mad at you either” He responds, slightly teasingly
“But seriously, Are you okay? and not just with the whole almost robbed thing, I mean with your dad.” He walks forward so that now he was right in front of you, looking down at you with a soft expression.
As soon as he finished his words sobs broke through your chest and tears stream down your eyes. You bring your hands up to your face and cover it as you sob into your hands.
Dave immediately sits back down next to you and envelopes you into a hug. Your hands leave your face and wrap around his middle, your head tucks into his chest. Dave’s arms wrap around your body tightly, his head sitting softly on top of yours while his hands soothingly rub against your back. “I got you” Dave whispers into your ear.
You continued to cry into his chest for a few minutes. Once your sobs settled down and you were left in only sniffles, Dave kept you in his chest. His hands still soothingly rubbed your back “He doesn’t deserve you, your an amazing daughter, an amazing friend, an amazing person. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about” Dave whispers to you, keeping you clutched into his chest while you clutched his shirt in your hands.
You lift your head from his chest and look up at him. Feeling your head move beneath his chin he looks down at you with a gentle smile that he hoped was comforting.
The both of you stared into each other’s eyes for a moment. You lifted your head and captured his lips with yours. Dave didn’t kiss back immediately and you then realized what you had just done. You shoot up from the bed and your position in his chest. “oh my god” you whisper, pushing your head into tour heads and pacing around his room anxiously. “Im so sorry, I don’t know why I did that” you stress.
Of course you knew why you did that, you were completely and hopelessly in love with Dave, your best friend. But he didn’t have to know that and you didn’t want him to know that. You swore to yourself that you wouldn’t screw up your amazing friendship because of your feelings yet you just did and it was stressing you the fuck out.
Dave gets up from his position on the bed as well and looks over at you with furrowed eyebrows and a dejected decision. “You didn’t?” he asks, his voice cracking softly
You finally remove your head from your hands and turn towards him with a worried expression on your face and an embarrassed blush on your cheeks.
“Why did you kiss me?” Dave asks. What confused you though was that his voice held an undertone of sadness to it.
When your eyes meet his, the both of you guys have wide eyes. “what?” you ask with a whisper. You knew very well what he said but you didn’t want to truthfully answer so you stalled for as long as you could at this moment.
“Im in love with you” Dave says, tired of beating around the bush. He was certain he wouldn’t let the possibility that you didn’t reciprocate his feelings get in the way of your friendship, but he also didn’t know why you would kiss him if you didn’t feel the same so he took the chance.
Your body freezes and your eyes widen even more slightly. Your jaw drops slightly and you look at him in shock. “what?” you whisper
Dave takes a couple steps towards you so he was now in front of you “Im in love with you, and I’m sorry if this ruins our friendship but never mind it wont because I wont let it. I do love you so much, more than I ever thought I could love someone and if you don’t feel the same i am so sorry but you kissed me and-“
he rambles but is cut off when your lips firmly meet his for the second time that night. One hand curls around to his hair while the other rests on his chest.
Dave responds immediately, his lips urgently moving against yours. One of his hands land on your waist, pulling you into him even more while the other hand gently holds the side of your face.
After a moment when the two of you pull apart, your foreheads lean against each other and you catch your breaths from the best kisses of your life. “I love you” you whisper to him, your eyes opening and meeting his wide sparkling ones
“Really?” Dave whispers with the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on his face.
“duh” you laugh lightly, your noses bumping against each other as your hand clutches tighter into his hair.
“Im the luckiest guy in the entire world” Dave whispers in disbelief, shaking his head against yours
At the boys words you feel bashfulness wash through you. “stop it” you chuckle softly, looking down at the ground instead of the boys soft eyes.
His hand on your cheeks lifts your head back up to meet his eyes “can I be your boyfriend?” He asks, emotion flooding his tone
“Yeah” you whisper with a nod, biting your lip to try and conceal your smile
“I love you” Dave whispers happily
“Ive loved you for like ever” You whisper just as happy
“That makes the two of us because I cant remember a time where I didn’t love you” Dave responds. You felt your heart melt in the absolute best way in that moment.
Dave smiles even bigger than he had before which you thought was impossible and pulls you back into a kiss, the both of your pouring every ounce of emotion and feelings into the kiss.
