Hate your Guts (Knox x Reader)
I hated Johnny Knoxville. Why? Because he was a self absorbed asshole who was a dick to only me. The first week I was with the crew we were at a bar, and I tried to go up to talk to him noticing heâd not really talked to me at all that week, and he looked me in the eye, and instantly turned around to make out with whatever random girl was behind him completely invalidating me and ignoring me.
If he was just an asshole to everyone, then so what? But itâs fact that to every other girl he was the perfect picture of a âsouthern gentlemanâ but when it came to me heâd just roll his eyes and walk away. So yeah, I hated him, and itâs horrible because he was the one I was so excited to see when I got asked to be on the show and now heâs the worst part of my day.
âY/n, Knoxville, on your placesâ Jeff yelled. We were filming an intro to the new movie where bulls would be chasing us all through various locations. Johnny and I having to jump through a window. I stood on my x and he came up to stand on his, brushing his shoulder into mine. âDo you mind?â I asked, not wanting to deal with his bullshit today. He smirked and chuckled to himself, âyeah, I doâ as we heard action and jumped through the glass onto the ground on the other side.
âGod get off of me fatassâ I said, pushing his body off of mine because when we jumped he conveniently landed on me. âWatch your fuckin mouth. I didnât mean to land on you and hurt your little feelings. Grow upâ he said, rolling off the ground and getting up. Even tho you hated him, it still stung when he was that mean, you just wanted him to like you, as crazy as it sounds. And you hated the fact you thought he would change one day, if only he could learn to shut his mouth.
âGod I want to punch him Ryanâ I said walking over to Dunn who sat in a lawn chair. He pulled me down on his lap giving me a hug. He became my best friend on set and knew how much me and Knox hated each other, but also knew how conflicting it was for me because all I actually wanted was for him to like me, or at least treat me with some respect. âI just donât get why Iâm the only girl he doesnât seem to be respectful towards, or why Iâm the only one he hates here. Itâs so frustrating. I thought I was gonna come here and be heads over heels for him because stupid me back home had the hots for the bastard, but instead he crushed that dream with his big fucking egoâ I said, making Dunn break out laughing.
âJust give him more time, alright? I think Jeff wanted to see you guys in his trailer too at 4â Ryan said, tapping his watch. It was 3:58. âOkay, thank you, Iâll see ya later, letâs hope I donât kick his ass and get firedâ I joked, standing up and walking over to Jeffâs trailer.
I walked in and Knox and Jeff both sat there, âwhatâs up?â I asked as Jeff stood up to usher me to sit down next to Knox on the couch. Jeff mindlessly walked over towards the door and began talking. âYou two have an issue, and I think we all know the real reason you guys donât like each other, figure it out amongst yourselves and Iâll be back in 3 hoursâ he said, suddenly slipping out the door as we heard the door lock from the outside.
Both Knox and I shot up and tried the door but we heard power drills from all around the doorframe. âIf you guys donât make up, then Iâll be back in the morning! Thereâs cameras in there too just an FYIâ Jeff yelled. âYouâre fucking kidding meâ Knox said as I went to open the curtains in the trailer, and saw boards they had screwed into the frame around the door so even if we got the door unlocked we canât get out. And the windows donât open and are plexi glass so we canât break them either.
He sat looking defeated on the couch, and I leaned against the counter, awkward silence filling the space. âSome prank, huh?â I asked trying to break some of the tension. He chuckled dryly and said, âyeah, some prankâ. I think that was the first time he even chuckled at a joke of mine, so maybe this would work. I wanted to get out of here in 3 hours, but maybe him and I could actually fix things.
I hated being the bigger person, but we needed to start somewhere and I knew his ego wouldnât let him start apologizing first anytime soon. I walked over and sat on the opposite side of the couch from him. âYou know Iâm sorry for earlier, I was being immature and have been in the past. I should just accept you hate me instead of retaliatingâ I said, as he looked up and over at me.
For a minute he was quiet, like he was analyzing my words and picking his to say next. He sighed and chuckled, âI donât hate youâ is all he said, making me seriously think he was insane. âReally? Because youâre pretty cruel at times. And I see the way you treat other girls and youâre always soâŚsweet with them? Iâm not asking for that, just for some professional respect?â I asked, confused on what he meant. ďżź
âMight as well come clean, weâre stuck here for 3 hours and I donât want it to be 12â he said chuckling and looking at me âI donât hate you, and I know Iâve been a real dick since you got here. Figured if I was mean enough at first you wouldnât wanna be around me. But I think it made you try harder to get me to like you, too damn stubbornâ he said chuckling as I sat there completely confused of where this was going.
âWhy would you not want me to want to be around you? I donât understand Johnnyâ I said, scooting closer to him on the couch, this being the first time him and I have ever really talked about anything serious without being at each others throats or this much at once.
âWhen I first saw you I thought you were absolutely gorgeous, I was mad at Jeff for hiring a girl like you because it was gonna be a distraction for me and the other guys, but I didnât want ya around me because I didnât want this to become anything else because i thoight i was supposed to be as professional as this job can be, and then lately Iâve just been angry because when I realized no one would care about that and I wanted to go apologize and explain, you and Dunn are already getting comfy and cozy togetherâ he said, speaking bitterly at the end.
I was shocked. He acted like he hated me and was a complete dick to try to keep me away from him, all because he liked me? Also me and Dunn? âI- you know Iâm not as mad anymore. I get that you wanted to be professional at first, but I think you could have found other ways to do that rather than being an asshole to meâ I said laughing as he chuckled too, âand I came here actually super excited to meet you and see you, I thought you were the perfect man on tv, and I hate that I still think youâre hot now considering youâve been an asshole. I think thatâs made me be meaner to you tooâ I said as we both were laughing now, realizing the mutual feelings and feeling months of hate and anger melt off our bodies.
âSo wait, you like me? Or you did at least? What about Dunn?â He asked suddenly, âtrust me, me and Dunn are just friends, and yes, and according to the guys I donât think they care if we like each otherâ I said, getting a text on my phone from Ryan that said, âweâre all watching this happen, Jeff wants to know if you want the cameras off so you two can fuck already?â
He read the text and laughed, a signature laugh Iâve heard so many times before but never with me. âCome hereâ he said once he stopped laughing, holding his arms open and patting his leg. I hesitantly stood up and walked over to his lap, as he hugged me tightly and I hugged him back. It was the best feeling in the world, I was convinced.
âGod Iâm stupid, never should have treated you that way, should have just told you then and there I liked yaâ he said, looking down at his hand. âI hated talking to you that way, if my mom would have been around she would have beat my ass till I was black and blue for talking to a lady like thatâ he added making us both laugh. I grabbed his hand in mine and said, âlike you said, Iâm stubborn, you werenât gonna get me to leave you alone that easilyâ. He smiled and kissed the back of my hand, starting butterflies in the pit of my stomach and making my face go bright red.
âBetter keep that way, wanna start over? Go on a date sweetheart?â He asked, looking at me as the nickname also added to the mix of nerves in my stomach. âIâd love thatâ I told him, standing up as he followed after me. He dramatically extended his hand and said, âPardon me, the names Johnny, youâre beautiful and I want to go on a date with you, and you are?â He joked around, making me laugh. I reach a hand out to meet his and said back just as dramatically, âIâm y/n, I also think youâre hot and would love to get to know youâ and with that we heard the power drill, pulling the wood off the door.
In walked Jeff, with the others packed behind him. âSee how easy that was? You didnât even need to stay for 3 hours, now get out of here and go on that dateâ he said, pushing you two out the door, Johnnyâs hand holding yours as he pulled you towards the parking lot on set. âSee you love birds laterâ Ryan yelled at us, making both our faces blush, âuse protectionâ bam yelled after him, earning a middle finger from both Johnny and I
