Request: Can you do a Jem Carstairs imagine where he has a huge crush on the reader so Tessa and Will plot to get them together?

Sorry this took so long.

Wattpad HERE

Jem and Will had just finished a mission.  “James, you truly are pathetic,” Will said out of nowhere.

“What?”

Will let out an exaggerated sigh “(Y/N). You clearly fancy them. Maybe love and you're hopeless at it.”

“Oh shut up William.”

“Never. Now I was thinking we should-“

“Theirs no we.” Jem stopped him. “You cant meddle in my love life.”

Will made a face “Of course I can. I'm your parabiti, brother, even. Besides, how am I meant to be your best man if you don’t hurry up and ask them out.” Jem sighed and continued walking “I want to be an uncle James!”

“Your gonna be severely injured if you don’t shut up.” Will did, for once, and they continued on their mission.

They didn’t realise basically the same conversation was taking place at the institute.

 (Y/N) pushed open the library doors and only had to look around for a moment before they spotted Tessa. She was sitting on a chair hunched over a book. Pride and Prejudice probably. “Hello” (Y/N) grinned.

“Why are you disturbing my reading, again?” Tessa sat her book aside.

(Y/N) smirked “Oh I'm dreadfully sorry. Am I bringing you back into reality? Besides I'm bored. The boys are out on a mission so you're stuck with me.”

“Missing Jem again?” She teased.

(Y/N) groaned “Not again Tess.”

“Yes again.” (Y/N) slumped on a chair while Tessa sat on the edge of her seat. “Come on, you have to admit you like him. You always sneak glances at him, say goodnight to him, make sure he’s fine after a mission and has taken his medicine.”

“Were friends! Am I not allowed to care about my friend?”

“Your friend who you also fluff up your hair before talking to him?”

(Y/N) sighed at Tessa’s smirk “Fine. I like him. love. I don’t know.” (Y/N) shook her head “Truly I don’t. he’s mesmerising, sweet, funny, fit. I mean everyone must fancy him, right?”

Tessa laughed “This is great. Just think about it; (Y/N) Carstairs.”

“Shut up” (Y/N) whinned.

“Tessa, stop teasing (Y/N). No matter how smittened she is.” Charlotte smirked from the doorway.

“You knew?” (Y/N) asked.

“Knew? Of course, I knew! I knew since you first got here and Jem played you violin since you couldn’t sleep.”

“Did he really?” Tessa asked.

“Yes, we're all aware how sweet master Jem can be.”

“Sophie! You two?” (Y/N) jaw hung open as Sophie came around the side of a bookcase. She must have been trying to organize something and (Y/N) hadn’t noticed.

“Of course. I've been waiting for the day you start sending love notes.”

The three girls sniggered as (Y/N) stood up “I hate you all, goodbye.” (Y/N) headed for the door. Before storming down the hallway she added “Tell him and I’ll use Henry’s inventions on you. Especially Tessa.”

The remaining three continued to laugh despite the threat.

 (Y/N) walked quickly through the hallways, arms crossed and a blush on their cheeks as they headed back to their room. Luck wasn’t on their side as the parabiti rounded the corner. “Hi Will, Jem.” They nodded.

“(Y/N), we were just talking about you!” Will declared.

Jems eyes widened before he jumped in so Will couldn’t ruin anything “Yes. we were saying how you should join us for cards later. Nothing else.”

“Okay.” (Y/N) said slowly “But I've not got a great feeling about this.”

“Why ever not?” Will asked.

“You’re smiling. It's never a good sign when Will’s smiling. You're up to something.”

  Will left Jem shortly after their run-in with (Y/N) and headed off to find Tessa. The library, of course. Only Charlotte and Sophie were their too “Tess. I need to talk to you, alone.”

Tessa was dubious but stood and followed him out the room “What did you do?”

“Nothing. yet.” He smirked as Tessa sighed. “But I have a plan for the love hearts.”

  Dinner flew by with nothing eventful. Henry talked about one of his inventions and Jem and (Y/N) snuck glances. Same as always.

After dinner (Y/N) headed down with Henry to try to help him with an invention. “What if we-“ (Y/N) looked up as the door opened.

Tessa smiled “Will and Jem invited us to play cards. Care to join?” (Y/N) squinted at Tessa but nodded when she seemed genuine.

“You ok on your own?” (Y/N) asked.

Henry laughed “Depends on who you ask. Go have fun. Just don’t have too much fun with Jem. Charlotte told me.”

“For angel's sake!”

 (Y/N) and Tessa reached the study where Jem and Will had already seemed to set everything up. “What are we playing?” (Y/N) asked as she sat across from Jem.

Will stood from his game “Cupid” Was all he said before he and Tessa ran out the door and slammed it.

The two shared a look before running to the door. Jem yanked on the handle but it was too late “Locking rune” Will yelled through the door.

“You're not coming out till we say so,” Tessa called through as well.

Jem sighed and patted his pockets. “Damn it.” He muttered. “Did you bring your stele?”

“Nope. You?”

“No”

With no other option, the pair sat back down. “Do you want to play?” (Y/N) broke the silence.

“Sure.” Jem dealt cards while (Y/N) looked everywhere but Jem.

As (Y/N) looked over their hand they set it down with a sigh “We need to talk.” Jem sat his cards down too. Neither really cared about cards anyway. “I- I like you. A lot and well I dunno what to say so their, if said it.” (Y/N) had started by looking at Jem in the eyes but their gaze was know glued to the cards.

Jem sighed “You shouldn’t. I mean look at me. I'm dying, you deserve better.”

(Y/N) head snapped up “I don’t care. I never did. Would you not rather be happy while your alive?”

“So you can be sad when I'm not?”

“Is that why we've never talked about this? Do you like me?”

“Like you? Of course, I do! Bloody hell I'm in love with you! How could I not be.” Jem stopped himself “But you shouldn’t love me. I’ll die too soon to give you a good life. You’ll be left alone and-“

“Jem?”

“Yes?” Jem and (Y/N) locked eyes.

“Shut up.” (Y/N) leant across the table and slammed their lips together.

Jems hand moved up to the back of their neck. (Y/N) pulled back but only to stand and walk to Jems side of the table. Jem stood and kissed them again, this time softer but deeper. His hands found their waist as (Y/N) hands got lost in his hair.

“Blimey! I did not need to see that” Jem and (Y/n) heads snapped to the door to see Will, Tessa and Henry standing in the now open doorway.

“William!”

Tessa’s mouth was agape while Henry chuckled. “What did I tell you about having too much fun?”

“Oh, my angel.” (Y/N) muttered as they hide in Jem’s shoulder.

“Let's go, Will.” Henry began to shut the door and push Will out as Tessa had already scampered away.

 When the door was finally shut the pair looked at each other. “I'm going to kill him,” Jem muttered.
