You and Hanse were always odd friends. Maybe it’s from your constant bickering with each other in front of others that made people think that you both hated each other.
But that’s not the case.
Both of you have been friends since middle school and you’ve been stuck with each other ever since. Y’all even went to the same college, which wasn’t even planned. You meant what you said when you said youwere stuck with him.
Granted you both had two opposite majors, so you barely ran into him, but you still made time to pick with him in front of his new friends and vice versa. They would joke saying that you both acted like an old married couple and you both would gag. But that was y’all relationship and you both were perfectly fine with it.
But then it changed when you got a boyfriend. When you would have him around and Hanse was there, it felt like he wanted nothing to do with you, or either of you for that fact. Yes, you both played around and ignored each other, but not for this long. It was weird not to see him and hear him bicker with you. Something was off.
But whenever you asked, he just said he was stressed with his major and left it at that. His answer didn’t satisfy you, but you knew better than to push him. It made you...sad.
But it was today that you needed your best friend more than ever. Tears streamed down your cheeks as you knocked on his apartment door. You could hear some shuffling inside and saw Hanse as he opened the door, rubbing his eyes.
“ Why were you banging on my do-” Hanse cut himself off when he heard the sniffles coming from you. You tried to speak but a choked sob only came out and he pulled you into the apartment and shut the door.
You quickly wrapped your arms around him and sobbed harder. You could feel him rub your back as tears landed on his bare chest.
“ What happened? What’s the matter? Are you hurt? Are you okay?” Hanse bombarded you with questions as you tried to calm yourself before speaking.
“ He was with someone else and had the nerve to blame me for him having to cheat.” You sobbed and you could feel him tighten his grip.
“ I should have been there for you, but I’m here now. I’ll kick his ass when I see him.” He mumbles as he brings you towards the living room.
You furiously rubbed your eyes as you looked up at him, “ Why did you ignore me for so long? What did I do?”
Hanse got quiet and he slowly started to feel even worse for what he did, “ I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
“ You were ignoring me for a whole month and a half. We were barely texting each other, it felt like I had to pull teeth to speak to you and I started to think I di-”
“ It wasn’t you,” Hanse cuts you off before he slowly sits on the couch, bringing you with him, “ It was me. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
You looked up at him, sniffling slightly, “ Then why were you ignoring me?” You watched him turn his head to look away, taking a deep breath before turning back to you.
“ I was jealous.”
Okay so those weren’t the words you were expecting and he could easily see it reflect on your expression.
“ I didn’t like being around you and that asshole not because I felt like a third wheel, but I didn’t like seeing you both together. Even when it was just us, I kept thinking about how you're with that damn bastard all the time and it just made me angrier.” Hanse stared down at his hands since they looked more interesting.
“ Why did it make you mad? He is- no. He was my boyfriend.” It still hit a nerve when you thought about it.
“ Look, it doesn't matter. Either way, spend the night with me.” Hanse ignores your question as he just stands up and brings you to his bedroom, pulling the covers back as he holds your hand as he gets you situated under the covers.
“You don’t have to do this. I’ll go back home or sleep on the couch.” You mumbled as you felt him pull you closer, the warmth of his body slowly making any protest fade away.
“ I’ll be damned if you go home and be by yourself after all this. I know you’ll overthink the moment you're alone. It’s the least I can do after being an ass.” Hanse didn’t look at you as he grabbed a remote with his free hand to turn on the tv.
You stared up at his profile as he got comfortable too. His arm pulls you closer and makes you feel secure.
Questions still floated around in your head and you couldn’t help but speak the first one that landed on your tongue.
“ Do you like me?”
“ Idiot. Of course I like you. You’re my best friend.” Hanse quickly answered, eyes never looking at you.
“No. Were you jealous of him because you wanted me to date you instead? Was that why you avoided me?” Your voice was soft, but you knew he heard you well.
You stayed silent, waiting for any type of response until you noticed the rosy blush that started to fill his cheeks and ears.
You laid there as you slowly reached for him; your hand turning his head slightly as he looked back at you.
It was silent as you leaned forward and kissed his forehead. He stayed still and quiet as you then kissed his cheek. But you couldn’t shake the swirls and flips in your stomach as you took a breath and kissed him on the lips.
You knew he would be unresponsive to it. It came out of nowhere, so him not kissing back was fine. You did it on impulse.
You tried to think of words to explain yourself but Hanse just pulled you into a hug, “ This is a one time thing. Don’t do stuff like that when you're in an emotional state cause I might take it wrong.” He mumbled against your shoulder and you hugged back, knowing he was right, “ But…”
“ But?” You pulled back to look at him.
“ If you want to try that again when you’re feeling better, then I don’t mind…” Hanse toyed with his lip piercing as you gently smiled.
“ Honestly? I would like that if you don’t mind?” Hanse looked up to see your smile and it made his chest warm.
“ Of course I don’t mind. I know I would be a better boyfriend than anyone. Five star boyfriend right here.” His tone was playful and it made you giggle.
“ Whatever you say~,” You snuggled into him more, eyes finally focusing on the tv as you both got comfortable, enjoying each other’s touch and presence.
