pairings: Hank Olson x Fem!Reader
summary: you've always had a thing for your best friend, but now it was serious when you thought you were losing your chance to confess...turns out, Hank always wants to beat you to the punch with everything!
a/n: my first Hank fic! I hope you all love it! I just love the idea of him being such a fun crush like this, and he really fits the whole childhood friends to lovers trope in my mind! Dedicated to @haymitchyappernathy and to all Hank Olson fans out there!
Why does it hurt when you see that grin for someone else? Why does it break your heart to know that someone else is getting to look deep into those eyes? The eyes you’ve seen widen in shock whenever you say a dirty joke, or crinkle whenever he laughs so sweetly.
The feelings had built up over the years. The same guy who used to tug on your hair or who used to cheat in a foot race had now become the guy you were doodling about in your notebook. You figured it was only a matter of time before your childhood friend had become the object of your desire.
Yet you were watching him slip away. It was breaking your heart.
You couldn’t even blame him. You had never confessed your feelings, and a part of yourself wasn’t even sure you could consider these emotions to be true feelings. Underneath it all, you were wondering if maybe you were just confused about everything.
Oh but every time Hank smiled at you, your tummy erupted with butterflies. Why did it always happen whenever he smiled at you? You wanted to figure it out, but the truth of it terrified you as well.
Falling in love with your best friend was a dangerous route to take, and you knew this. But it wasn’t the worst idea either. It wasn’t like you were falling for someone toxic for you. The only real issue was that he was seeing someone else. You had wanted to confess but things were taking a back seat to that.
Midterms, exams, Hank going on dates, you seeing less and less of him.
Then one night, he comes over. He’s a little buzzed, you can tell. He’s got this smirk on his face that he always seems to have whenever he wants to challenge you. Though this time, there is no challenge. Or so you believe.
You two sit on the sofa, watching old reruns of some sitcom. He talks about his week, gesturing largely with his hands as he tells you the exciting bits. Whenever he’s in this mood, Hank likes to make the most mundane sound like an epic adventure. And with him, you know it usually is.
“And it was really the last call at the bar, and while I was trying to shoot my shot with this hottie, Art came by and passed us some cocktails! Can you believe that guy? He’s a swell guy!”
You laugh, even though the thought of Hank flirting with someone stung. “Of course, saved by your best friend.”
“Heh, well it would have been better had you been there.”
This hits you hard. Hank had asked you to come along the other night, but you were too busy studying. Okay, well maybe you were sulking in your room, but that’s only because you had seen Hank talking to some pretty girl in your shared history class. It had completely ruined your mood.
“Yeah, but you know I get so sucked into my studying.”
He smirks and nudges you. “You’re such a brain. You’re allowed to take a break sometimes.”
You nudge him back. “And you should be more serious about your studies, Mr. C average.”
He shoves you down on the couch, smacking you lightly with a pillow. “Oh yeah? I’ll let you know I’m a B- average kind of guy!”
You both laugh at this, knowing that Hank is more than capable of getting good grades. Though he does sometimes get caught up in silly schemes or chaotic outings with some friends, he is quite intelligent and committed when he locks in.
There’s a moment of silence before the two of you look at each other. You shouldn’t be thinking about kissing your best friend, but you can’t help it anymore. When did the guy who has always been a pain in your ass turn into this charming hot guy? You don’t know, but you know that your whole being is screaming at you to kiss him.
“So, did you score the other night?” You tease lightly, leaning just a little closer.
Hank laughs, “Oh? Wouldn’t you like to know?”
You pout and cross your arms over your chest. “What if I do? I care about you, you know!”
“Well, it turns out she had a boyfriend…and I just so happen to have my eyes on someone.”
Of course he does. Of course there’s someone out there for him. It’s driving you insane with just how much this is affecting you. It shouldn’t be. You should be able to repress all these feelings and continue on with your life. But the way he’s looking at you right now, you just want to let it all slip out and finally get off your chest.
“A crush, huh?”
Hank snorts. “If you want to call it that, fine by me. But I happen to think it’s pretty serious.”
This hits harder now. “Seriously?! Since when are you in a committed relationship?”
This causes him to laugh loudly. There’s a flush to his cheeks before he leans in closer, and this is when your heart skips a beat. It almost feels like time stands still as Hank leans in closer. Then you can feel his breath on your face. His eyes are almost closed, and he’s looking at you like you’re the only thing that matters.
“I’m not yet…but I’d like to be.”
And then he presses his lips to yours. It’s soft, it’s gentle…and sort of unlike the man you know. Usually he’d be jumping right into this, but right now, it’s like he wants to show you just how soft and sweet he can be. When you lean into it, he’s smiling against your lips. You feel your heart fluttering in your chest. He pulls away breathless and rests his forehead against yours.
“Been wanting to do that for some time now,” Hank admits, his face still flush with nervousness.
“W-wait…hold on…what?”
He’s uncharacteristically nervous. “I've wanted to kiss you since freshman year of high school, okay? Is that what you wanted to hear?”
Your heart beats even faster and you kiss him deeply. He’s shocked by this, but it’s not unwelcome. He wraps his arms around you, pulling you even closer.
“Been wanting to kiss you for just as long…”
With the two of you staring into each other’s eyes, some might say it was meant to be. You were always meant to be.

BarkOlson r the type of idiots to dick around in some haunted attraction/area blahblah, Olson is saying bullshit “My cousin said someone got killed here once” “Holy shit guys I heard smthing (lying)” “Shut up Olson” Whilst Barkovitch keeps trying to jumpscare everyone, but when a “scare” happens they’ll scream the loudest and jump into eachother’s arms. Only to immediately after start bickering who yelled louder or who jumped into whose arm first.
Yet after that, and even with their bickering (which they keep to a whisper) they remain close to each other and keep vigilant watch of their surroundings from there on out. They’re not scared tho ofc
