jealous denial
warnings: none? COD? written with a feminine reader in mind but i don't think im explicit in that so can be for anyone, i think
overview: gaz is head over heels with the reader of anyone's dreams (you ofc, you baddie) and no-one can be mature about it.
Kyle "Gaz" Garrick and his high school sweetheart!reader. It was the perfect fairytale kind of love, born of late homeworks, essays, irritating tutors and boarding school.
It was Kyle who got you through secondary school and you who got him through it too. You were the best of friends who were lucky enough to fall in love, though, everyone would argue it was inevitable. Nominated "best couple" by the end of year 11, at seventeen, Kyle joined the army and you suddenly had to navigate the world without him.
Soon, secret takeaway orders, hiding from Matron and revising in the library become blue letters, film photos and weekends spent on the train to visit each other. It became late night calls and "I miss you"s, drawings and postcards and 'distance only makes the heart grow fonder', right?
It certainly was the kind of romance to write home about. Your mum loves him, your friends love him, he loves you, you love him. It's sweet but not saccharine, romantic but not cringey, comfortable but not boring.
So why didn't the guys believe him?
Kyle had never been more riled up than when he was defending your honour. A drunk guy in a bar he could handle but the ultimate loner Simon Riley denying your existence? Johnny MacTavish laughing at your drawings and John Price sighing? No. No. That was unbelievable, blasphemous, plain rude. Gaz was not taking that disrespect.
So, he doubled down.
He convinced you to send more postcards, more letters describing details of university, even attempting to get you to give him a copy of one of your essays (to which you had scoffed but politely declined), more drawings of stupid things and more loud phone calls.
He is not met by an apology nor an admission of, "Gaz, we're really sorry we doubted you, we do in fact believe you and we're really happy you're gonna get married and have kids and live long happy lives together"
Instead he receives the nickname "Lars" for a bit and the running joke: "Kyle's in love with a sex doll and writes it letters"
Honestly, the boys completely believed Gaz, (of course he had the perfect romance, the man's perfect), they were just inhumanly jealous that he had someone to go home to, someone to live for.
And it was hilarious to watch him get so riled up.
gaz deserves more love :(
why is no-one fuming 😤 about the gaz erasure, i'm so angry, my poor little love
also i love these two 🥰 and will not be halting in writing them when i should be locking in rn with a massive essay due in the morning (kill me now 😦)
