Request: Hello sweetie! I was wondering if you could do a story where the reader and Colby aren't dating YET but there is yah know, chemistry and tension. But one day sam decided to pull a prank on Colby and it involved EVERYONE. So basically he makes it seem like he woke up in a different world or something where stuff is different. For example: him and reader are dating (you can choose whatever other stuff happens, lol) but once Colby figures out the prank, he pulls reader aside. They have a small argument before reader blows off on him, in which he says "I've never wanted to kiss you as badly as I do know" and that's how they admit their feelings! Thank you! And can't wait to see what you write love
A/N: Hi! Thank you so much for your request, sorry for the wait, I have been very busy with school and work. I hope the wait is worth it though! Get ready for a long imagine, I’m pretty sure this is about 3,000 words. I hope you love it! I just realized that I tried to keep this imagine gender neutral but I forgot that I accidentally put some she/her pronouns in it, I’m so sorry!

It was just like any other day for you. You woke up around noon because you were exhausted from the day before. Between working, going to college, and trying to keep somewhat of a social life, everyone could see just how worn out you would get day to day. So today you decided to treat yourself with a few extra hours of this beautiful thing called sleep.
Your phone rest on the bedside table and of course checking it and replying to the unread messages was the first step of your morning routine. The first messages you saw were from the group chat that consisted of you, Kat, and Tara. Apparently, while you were sleeping, Tara and Kat had a whole conversation about a girl’s day that they wanted to plan for you three. The last text sent was from Kat and it read, “I can’t wait for y/n to see all these messages in the morning. We planned the best girl’s day while she was probably passed the fuck out in her bed lmao”.
You smiled sending them a text back alerting them that you are indeed alive and down for all the plans they had created. In fact, you would be seeing them later at Sam and Colby’s place for a couple’s dinner/pool/movie date night. Jake would be there as well, and although you were tragically single, you loved all of them to death and hanging out over there was like the most elite sleepovers you would have with your best friends as a child.
A new text appeared on your screen just as you began to emerge from the comfort of your bed sheets, “God finally you’re awake. I’ve been waiting for Kat to tell me you answered her message all morning. I need your help tonight with a prank. Colby is never going to see it coming”
“A prank? I thought you guys didn’t do that anymore...? But I’m in ;)” You sent back. Out of all the trap girls and all the boys, Colby and you got along the best. Ever since you first met, which was years ago at this point, Colby and you have been inseparable. You tried so hard to avoid your feelings for him, in hopes to not develop a crush that ended up ruining your friendship, but Kat picked up on it right away. She told you constantly that she could easily set you up with the beautiful blue-eyed boy, but you insisted that things would happen naturally if there was truly something there between the two of you. And so, you went on, day by day, falling helplessly in love with the sweetest boy you have ever come to know.
Sam sent a message telling you to head over to their place as soon as possible. You swore that you basically lived there already. You were at their house way more than you were at your own. You couldn’t imagine living further than 15 minutes from them. After what felt like a century to Sam, you arrived at the house. Your hand loudly knocking on the big wooden door.
“Hey y/n! How are you?” Kat asked, pulling you into a big hug as she opened the door. You smiled and hugged back at her kind gesture, “I’m good! How are you? Do you know anything about this prank on you know who?” You questioned her. She glared at you, silently telling you to lower your volume. “Y/n! Colby is right upstairs be quiet!” She whispers, laughing at you almost blowing their cover immediately upon arrival.
Kat was quick to take you by the arm and drag you to the theater room where Sam was already sitting on one of the opulent red couches. He greeted you, telling you that he wanted to film your reaction to him telling you what prank you were going to pull. You agreed and sat down on the sofa facing the blonde. “Colby’s taking a nap right now upstairs because he was up super late last night editing one of our Sam and Colby videos. I figured we could use his exhaustion to our advantage and try and prank him that he woke up in some sort of alternate universe. I figured you could go into his room and set up a couple cameras, and I’ll keep two hidden in the living room where me, Kat, Jake, and Tara will be, so we hopefully get his full reaction. I want you to sneak into his bed and like cuddle him or something and when he wakes up, I want you to pretend that you’ve been dating him for a long time now. He is going to be super confused but just try and convince him that it’s true. If he ends up downstairs, we will go along with it too. I really want to see if he will think that it’s real after a while.” Sam explained.
You felt your face burning as your cheeks became a deep shade of red. He couldn’t be serious right? He wanted you to pretend that you were dating Colby? “I- Uh… I don’t know Sam won’t that be a really mean prank?” You tried to play it off, hoping that you didn’t just annihilate all your efforts to keep your feelings hidden. “You guys are like best friends, I don’t think he could be mad at you for such an innocent prank.” Sam replied. You began to feel incredibly flustered at the thought of having to be so affectionate with Colby. The room started to feel like a sauna as the sweat began accumulating all over your body.
Sure, you and Colby had cuddled before, but it was extremely platonic… Plus, it only happened in very specific moments, like last Wednesday after you had a couple of drinks, and everyone was sat watching a movie where he wrapped his arm around you so you could rest your head since it could barely hold itself up. You snapped out of your thoughts quickly realizing that Sam had been waiting on a response from you. You knew Sam was stubborn, he wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Your eyes met back with his and the only thing you could get yourself to do was slightly nod your head ‘yes’.
“Perfect.” Sam smirked, getting up to turn off the camera and hand it to you so you could set it up in Colby’s room. You already knew that he was thinking about how many points this would score him for a Sam and Colby prank war if it turns out the way he is wanting.
Before you knew it you had made it all the way up into Colby’s room where you had strategically hidden the camera, facing it towards the sleeping boy in his bed. You let out a deep sigh, trying to prepare yourself for what was about to go down. “If this ruins everything for me, I am going to kill you Golbach.” You whispered, knowing the deep sleeper wouldn’t hear a single thing. And so, the prank began.
You took a gentle hold of the silky black sheets and quietly slipped into bed right next to Colby. There was no game plan in your mind, you didn’t even think up a storyline about your fake relationship for once he woke up. You squeezed your eyes shut in fear as you quickly wrapped your body around his, resting your head under his chin as he slept on his back. He twitched slightly, bringing his arm up, lazily holding you back. The breath caught in your throat, this was already hard enough for you and now he is cuddling you back? You glanced up to see his face, his eyelashes were slightly fluttering, and his soft lips had a slight part in them. He was still fast asleep. You decided to try and wake him up by moving around in his arm slightly, hoping the movement would pull him out of his dreams.
“Y/n?” His voice rung through the room, deep and raspy. He sat up slightly, glancing around the dark lair that he called a bedroom, but his arm still remained around your frame. “W-what are you doing here?” He stuttered, visibly confused by the sight of you in his arms.
“What? I can’t cuddle my boyfriend?” You answered, shocked that you could even get those words to come out of your mouth. His eyes widened at your response, pure shock etched into his face. “Boyfriend?” You felt his heart start to race as he replied.
His arm dropped from your body as he delicately pushed himself out of bed. He was now hovering over you as he stood by the bedside table. There was a clear glass with some water sitting on a coaster on the table. His strong hand wrapped around it as he brought it up to his mouth, downing the rest of the water that was in it. You could tell by his body language that he was beyond confused. The glass clinked as he practically dropped it back onto the nightstand.
“Am I dreaming or something? Since when was I your boyfriend?” His eyebrows furrowed as he continued to look at you for some answers. Your heart sunk thinking about how mean of a prank this truly was, at least from your point of view. “Baby… Are you serious? We’ve been together for years now, are you feeling okay?” You said as you threw your legs over the side of the bed, pulling his hand into your own.
Your thumb gently rubbed circles onto the back of his hand, but only for a couple seconds before he pulled it away. “Is this a fucking prank or something?” He asked, irritation evident from his tone. You shook your head ‘no’, it was becoming hard to process words. You knew this was upsetting him, but Sam had you promise to make the prank last for as long as you could.
“I’m sorry- I have to get out of here really quick.” Colby said, making his way out the bedroom door. You said nothing back, hoping that Sam would end the prank for you as Colby made his way down the stairs.
“Hey brother! You’re finally up. Where’s y/n? I thought we were all doing a couples movie night?” Jake interrogated as Colby glanced to see Sam, Kat, and Tara standing over in the kitchen. Colby brought his hand up to his face rubbing his eyes, there’s no way that Jake is saying this too. Colby began to think that he was seriously going crazy. And then everyone else joined in on the conversation. You could hear them loudly as you stayed glued to Colby’s bed.
Sam began to ask if Colby was feeling alright, and you heard Kat say that maybe we should take Colby to the hospital in case he was losing his memory. You felt the panic in Colby rise as he was deflecting everyone’s concern insisting that he wasn’t losing his memory, and that he definitely wasn’t going crazy. He knew for a fact that you two weren’t dating, and none of them could convince him otherwise. “Dude, she’s gonna hear you up there. You’re going to break her heart. You really don’t remember?” Sam pushed.
You finally had enough. You raced out of Colby’s room and rushed down the stairs. You stopped immediately upon entering the kitchen, seeing everybody else still standing there surrounding Colby. The energy switched as they all looked to you, Sam pleading with his eyes for you to keep going. “I’m so sorry Colby, it was just a prank, please don’t be upset.” You couldn’t handle it any longer, the pain on his face was too much for you to bear. You watched as he scoffed back, “I knew it. Fuck you, guys. I’m going back upstairs.”
You felt horrible as you watched him stomp back up to his room, slamming the door shut behind him. Tears stung the back of your eyes, this was all your fault. You excused yourself from the group and somberly made it to Colby’s door. You preceded to place a faint knock on the wood, “Colby? I’m so sorry, can you please open up?” Your voice was so soft, it would’ve been hard for him to hear if he hadn’t already anticipated your arrival. The door swung open as Colby quickly made his way back over to where he previously sat on the couch.
You stayed frozen at the door for a couple seconds, hoping to brace yourself for the angry boy inside. You took hold of the cold metal doorknob, pulling the door shut behind you. You tip-toed your way over to the sofa and took a seat far from Colby. Your mind was running a hundred miles an hour as you tried to concoct a coherent sentence. “What the hell were you thinking? Did you seriously think that I would find this funny?” He spat in your direction.
“It wasn’t my prank, Sam just wanted me to help him out.” You said back, desperately trying to reason with him. He sarcastically laughed, running a hand through his dark hair. “I didn’t ask who’s prank it was y/n.”
You gulped, it felt suffocating in his room. The dark ambiance that normally felt inviting suddenly seemed like your own personal hell. “Colby, I didn’t want to hurt you I swear. I was trying my best to keep everything lighthearted. I could never hurt you.” Your voice was so delicate, it was so hard to speak. The tears were still threating to make an appearance, and that was the last thing you wanted.
“But you did, y/n. That’s the thing. Whether or not you ‘meant’ to hurt me, you did. And everyone else was in on it to. Did you even try and tell Sam that this prank wasn’t a good idea? Did you even think, for a split second, that this was incredibly immature? You were all treating me like I was losing my damn mind, trying to convince me that we were dating when we clearly never were.”
His words hurt, but they were all true. You had never been together, what were you thinking pretending like you were? All to satisfy Sam? To help him get a head start on the prank wars by completely crushing Colby’s heart? He is your best friend for crying out loud. “Look Colby. I never wanted to do this, okay? Did you ever stop and think that maybe I didn’t want to be doing this either? You mean everything to me. Why would I ever purposely hurt you? Especially after everything we have been through. All the ups and downs, the messy breakups, all the fights. I love you so god damn much and I hope you know that I would never, ever, hurt you like that.” By this point the tears were streaming down your face. Your previous spot on the couch was long discarded as you now stood right in front of Colby, praying that he knew you were being serious about not hurting him.
Your eyes searched his for any glimpse of a sign showing that he believed you. His bright blue eyes looked a lot more intimidating than usual. You couldn’t tell what he was thinking, his expression not giving you any clues. Finally, he responded, “Is it wrong that I’ve never wanted to kiss you as badly as I do right now?”
And finally, there was your sign. His eyes no longer looked intimidating. In fact, they had completely changed into something much different, lust. You quickly took a step closer to him as he took a stand right in front of you, placing his strong hands on either side of your face. He roughly pulled you in, causing your lips to crash together with loads of passion. They fit perfectly together, better than you ever imagined them. They worked in sync as the feeling inside of you was igniting a fire. He was so rough, but surprisingly still gentle. Acting as if one wrong move would completely break you. Your lips remained locked as he pushed you backwards, surprising you as your back made contact with his plush bed. He was on top of you, hungrily continuing the kiss.
You both pulled apart abruptly, gasping for air after your heavy make out session. “I guess now’s a good time to let you know that I am absolutely, one hundred percent, in love with you.” You stated, starring deep into his eyes. “Then I guess now’s a good time to tell you that I feel the same.” He responded, bringing you back in for another passionate kiss. You pulled back again, “So, does this mean I can finally see those handcuffs I keep hearing about in action?” You asked him, slightly laughing. “Only if you promise to keep quiet.” He winked back. And that was the start of your amazing, long awaited relationship.
I was sat on Kat’s couch as she, Sam and Colby all debate what to do. Sam wants to film, Colby is just asking adding random information into the debate, Kat wants to watch a movie. Sam said something about not being able to film while we watch because oh her laugh, which wasn’t a lie. Her laugh was loud but not bad.
“If it is worth anything, i think we can wait to watch something until after they film whatever they need to do...” I finally break in after 15 minutes of back and forth.
“Great, it’s settled we’ll film!” Sam exclaimed, rushing to grab his camera off the mantle.
“Why don’t you guys join us?” Colby offered to keep Kat from being to sad,as he was handed a camera.
“Ya know what, why not. What video are you planning to wear?” Kat said, offering to help me stand up.
“We were gonna do a challenge video, how well we know each other. Every time we miss a question someone pour ice on us.”
“Hell yeah! We can do that!” Kat yelled, obviously excited to pout ice on her boyfriend.
“Okay, let’s go guys!” Colby led the way, most of the equipment was already set up. Sam and him sat down as Kat pulled me behind the boys. We open the cooler to see all of ice we get to use. Sam pressed the start button, and started the introduction. They only got my attention when they say my name.
“Hi” I said while waving awkwardly at the camera. This caused Kat to laugh a little, before everyone went back to the video.
I missed some of the questions, but Colby would tap me when i needed to dump ice on him. Over all it was awesome and fun to get to know all these things about my new friend.
When all of it was over Colby shouted, “ You should all go listen to Y/N! They are an amazing singer!”
With that, Kat dumped the rest of the ice on the both of them. I ended up getting wet, and cold.
“KAT!!!” All of us yell together, Sam slowly got up and threw ice at Kat before turning off the camera.
I watch as Colby stood up, and shook off the water. Causing me to squeal from the cold. The sudden noise made him look at me, his face suddenly looked guilty, “Sorry...”
“It’s okay” I went to speak again but Kat shouted “Can we watch a movie now?”
“Colby and I need to change, and Y/N probably wants a new shirt. You can start picking out a movie and grabbing snacks, meet in the living room in five minutes?” Sam said as they begin to scatter.
Colby grabs me and says, “I’ll grab you a shirt if you want?”
I nodded and followed him to his room, where he gave me a Metalica tee shirt. I waled to the bathroom to change. When I came out at the same time Colby came out of his room.

“He wouldn’t let me record it, but it was hilarious,” Colby said to you over the phone, “You should have been there.” You tried to pay attention to whatever dumb situation Brennen got himself into but you were too busy cleaning your apartment. He continued to talk about last night while you ran around making your place look clean-ish. You hoped Colby didn’t think about the lack of response coming from you, and he didn’t. “(Y/n), hello? Did you die or something?” Well he didn’t realize it until now.
“No I didn’t die, asshole. I’m just trying to clean a little bit,” You said as you dropped down on your couch, letting out an exhausted sigh.
“Okay well I’ll let you go. But are you coming over later for this thing? I think they were planning like 8:30/9.” You furrowed your eyebrows, confused as to what Colby was talking about. When you remembered he couldn’t see your facial expression, you asked what was happening. “Do you ever pay attention to the group chat?” Colby joked. You could basically hear him smile through the form, making you grin a little, “Elton bought a projection. I think he wanted to have this little movie night thing.”
You told him you would be there before hanging up the call to finish cleaning. After about an hour everything was clean and put away. You checked the clock to see it was only 7:15. You let out a sigh of relief knowing you had more than enough time to get ready. Rummaging through your closet for 5 minutes you finally found a cute, but comfy, outfit to switch into.
You got bored waiting for the time to turn to 8:30 so you texted Colby asking him if he wanted to join you on a snack buying adventure and of course, he was down.
“So what kind of movies are picked out? If there’s any scary movie I’m leaving, I swear!” You said, pointing your finger at Colby. He put his hands up in surrender and laughed at you.
“Hey, I didn’t pick any. It was all Amanda and Elton. Besides, I’ll make sure you don’t get scared,” You rolled your eyes and threw a bag of chips are Colby when he rolled his eyes.
“Honey you get scared of a damn bee,” You let out a small chuckle and was caught off guard when the same bag of chips was thrown at you.
You and Colby continued to mess around in the store while picking out snacks and by the time you guys were done checking out it was already 8:30.
Halfway through the trip, you noticed Colby start to zone out and not seem like himself. You didn’t question it, thinking maybe he was just tired but you kept the thought in the back of your head.
By 8:45 you guys were back at the house. Colby helped you bring in the bags of food and within seconds everyone starting diving for them. “At least wait until they’re not in my hands you hooligans!” You yelled dropping the bags on the kitchen table.
You saw Colby wander off into the other room. You waited a few seconds before following him.
Colby plopped down on the big bean bag chair, watching Elton set up. Elton greeted you before going back to what he was doing. You started to worry as Colby didn’t even look your way. He only took out his phone and starting fiddling with it. You glanced at Elton as he looking at Colby and then you. You raised your eyebrows, silently asking him if he knew why he was acting weird. Elton shrugged his shoulders.
“Colby,” You said, sitting down next to him, “Can we talk or something? What’s going on?” Colby’s eyes looked up from his phone for a split second to look at Elton before he shoved his phone in his pocket.
“Okay, okay, I can take a hint,” Elton said as he walked out of the room, leaving you and Colby alone.
You kept your eyes on Colby but his eyes burned holes into the wall in front of him. “Talk to me, please. Why all of a sudden are you acting like this?”
Colby leaned forward and rested his head in his hands, letting out a sigh, “You (y/n), you’re the reason I’m acting like this. Sometimes you’re just so oblivious,” He said, making sure his eyes don’t meet yours.
You moved so you were sitting in front of him and wrapped your hands around his wrists, pulling them away from his face, “What are you talking about? What did I do?”
“You didn’t do anything and that’s exactly the thing. I’m gonna tell you something and you’re not going to do anything about it, just like you do everything else,” Colby ripped his hands from your grip, startling you. This isn’t normal behavior for Colby. You’ve been friends with him since high school and you’ve never seen him like this. “(Y/n), I’m sorry, I just-” Colby paused, his eyes locking with yours for the first time since the car ride. His hands reached forward and cupped your face. “I tried pushing my feelings away. I tried getting over you for the sake of our friendship because I can’t stand the thought of not having you in my life. I tried and tried, but I had no luck. I’m so head over heels for you, (y/n).”
Colby’s thumb rubbed your cheek and you couldn’t help but lean into his hand. You glanced down at your feet, processing everything that was just said. Everything was moving in slow motion and as if the whole world was on mute.
“Please say something, anything,” Colby whispered, bringing your attention back to him.
A smile formed on your lips and you didn’t think twice before leaning forward and crashing your lips with Colby’s. You felt him smile into the kiss before pulling away, “Is this a prank?” He asked, joking but you could tell he was serious.
“Does it look like a prank?” You replied, pecking his lips again.
“About time!”
“Geez Colby you finally grew a pair of balls.”
“Oh my goodness, you guys are so cute!”
Yours and Colby’s heads turned to the direction of the voices to see everyone with their cameras out, vlogging you guys, “Excuse you!” You shouted, throwing a pillow at them which eventually started a pillow fight.
