Love At First Sight- Klitz
Pairing: Klitz x GN!Reader
Request: Yes
Warnings: Small reference to sex, Eli being Eli
Transferring to a new school is never easy, especially in the middle of the year. Your nerves raced on the car ride to your brand new High School, and you were on the verge of tears as you got out. You no longer had any friends to protect you or stand up for you, you were alone. Your stomach filled with dread as you glanced at all of the unfamiliar faces, they weren't welcoming or warm; they were judgmental and cruel.
Entering the large double doors, you asked a geeky-looking lanky boy for directions to the office. He seemed caught off guard, but he was the nicest person you had met so far. You quickly thanked him and headed to where he pointed.
“Hi, um, I’m new and I need my schedule,” you sounded so unsure, it was mildly pathetic. Sat behind the desk was a woman in her mid-40s if you had to guess. She looked up, pushing the bifocals up the bridge of her nose before clearing her throat. “Name and grade?” her head was cocked to the side slightly, she looked so uninterested. You gave her the benefit of the doubt, it was 7 am on a Monday, in the middle of the year. You’d probably be the same if you were in her place. “Oh! Uhm, yeah I’m a senior, last name L/N” your hands were shaking slightly, and you felt blood rush to your face.
She handed you a piece of paper, fresh off the printer. She mumbled something to the Assistant Principal about getting a kid from class to show you around, but you weren't paying enough attention. You peered down at your schedule, you’d really need that tour of the school. You sighed, not looking forward to the rest of the day.
Interrupting your little pity party came the boy from earlier, the one who directed you to the office. You assumed he would be the one giving the tour, and your suspicion was further proved when he introduced himself to you. “I’m Klitz, and I’ll be showing you around, I guess.” One of his hands was rubbing the back of his neck, while the other was extended for you to shake. He gave an awkward smile, and you admired how pretty he was. You shook your head lightly and broke the awkward silence. “I’m glad it’s you showing me around, and not one of those other people,” you regretted your words as soon as you said them. “The popular ones, I mean! They seem rude like they’re better than everyone y’know? I can’t stand that.” You stared at your shoes, one hand gripping the strap of your backpack, the other holding your schedule. Klitz, as you learned his name was, was wordless. He admired how easily you were able to speak your mind. He thought it was awesome how you spoke like you didn’t care, it also helped that he wholeheartedly agreed with you.
You continued on the tour, it taking all of the first period, not that you minded. You enjoyed hearing him speak, pointing to all of the classrooms, and hallways. You ended up having the majority of your classes with him, all but your elective periods. He walked you to the second period and invited you to sit with his friends at lunch, you appreciated his offer and gratefully accepted. Little did you know, he had already fallen face-first for you.
Second period went by fairly quickly, you had to introduce yourself to the class, though, which was more than embarrassing. You had next period with Klitz, so you had something to look forward to. The lanky boy was waiting for you when the bell rang, ready to walk to your next class. On the way, you talked about life, where you moved from, friends and family. Just general things to get to know each other, he seemed really cool. You arrived at math class and found a seat near Klitz. You latched onto him like a lost puppy, but he didn't mind. You didn’t know anyone else and you weren’t the best at socializing. He introduced you to one of his friends, his name was Matt, and he seemed like a pretty normal guy. Apparently, he’d gotten into Georgetown and was writing some speech for a scholarship program.
“L/N, care to introduce yourself to the class?” Mr. What’s-his-face asked, inducing a feeling of horror. You looked over at Klitz and Matt, wide-eyed. “No sir, I don’t think they would,” Matt put it so respectfully. You could talk to people you knew with no problem, and even people you didn't on occasion, but you had a severe problem with authority figures. You mouthed a quick ‘thank you’ to Matt, and the teacher continued on with his lesson.
To be completely honest, you didn’t really understand it. They were at a different unit than your previous school, and you were lost. You shrugged it off, you’d ask someone to explain later. It couldn’t be that difficult. Much of the same routine continued up to lunch; Klitz walked you to your next class, you spaced out until the bell, and repeat. At lunch, you met another one of Klitz and Matt’s friends, Eli. He was a loud, aspiring director. He was more straightforward than Matt and Klitz, and you related to him on that. Matt and Eli kept looking over at you and Klitz weirdly, but you two were in your own little worlds. You were going off about some comic book things, things that they didn’t completely understand.
They could see the way Klitz looked at you, he had fallen for you; and hard at that. And the weirdest part, you seemed equally as interested. No one had ever looked at Klitz like that! Let alone someone as kind as you. They just looked at each other and smirked, they’d find a way to get you two together; one way or another. “So, Y/N, you dating anyone?” Eli asked, getting straight to the point. “Eli!” Matt hit his shoulder, “What? We were all wondering it!” he looked offended, but you just laughed. “No, no, it's fine! I don’t mind,” you assured Matt and Klitz, “And to answer your question, no. I’m not dating anyone.” You just smiled, this felt right. You felt normal, for once.
"Bro, you are so down bad!” The guys met up at Klitz’s house after school, as they usually did. Currently, Klitz was being teased for his very obvious crush on the newest member of their friend group. They meant no harm, obviously, but it was fun to playfully make fun of each other. It’s not like they hadn’t done it before. “So, you gonna bone them?” Eli made more offhand remarks, as usual. “Don’t talk about them like that! Besides, I just met them! It’s not like that,” Matt and Eli just rolled their eyes, not believing him one bit. “I’m just saying, if it isn't like that now, then it will be soon! C’mon man, we’re hormonal teenagers, it’s only natural!” Eli pressed further, much to everyone's annoyance. “Enough of this conversation, let's just play something.” Klitz crossed his arms, fighting back the urge to kick them out of his house and into the rain, but he knew he couldn’t do that. He isn’t that petty. Well, not yet.
He tried to focus on the TV, but he couldn’t stop thinking about you. From the moment he saw you, he knew he’d fall in love. You treated him so kindly, and you seemed genuinely interested in everything he said. And you didn’t use him just to get the homework, which he greatly appreciated. You were so welcoming, and not to mention pretty. He just wanted to kiss you, and he’d just met you. Everything about you he loved, he was in for a long week for sure. He feared tomorrow, hoping he wouldn’t mess up his words, or say the wrong thing. He didn’t even know if you’d ever feel the same way. It was stupid to fantasize, but he couldn’t help it. You were like a magnet, you drew him towards you. You were electric, melodic, like a violin.
The guys left, eventually. And he just stood up in his room, staring into the dark, dark sky. It was late, and he needed to go to sleep, but he couldn’t get his mind to calm down. You occupied his mind, intoxicating his thoughts.
Could this be love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
