Yknow.. I've been thinking about Kyle recently.
Kyle, who's sweet. Who's charismatic. A charmer. Absolutely a flirt with his dry humour and his soft smiles. The calmest of the bunch, but my god, when he's angry, does he bite. He's got his own issues, but man, does he listen. Never the quietest, maybe a little less loud than Johnny, of course, but no one is louder than Johnny so-
And I wonder, GENUINELY, what if this man was an oblivious fuck.
What if, just what if, this charming little shit was the most BLIND MAN in existence when it comes to someone hitting on him?
Like okay ground rules– obviously when he's at a pub or even just generally in public and a stranger comes to flirt with him he can tell. Like no shit.
But with someone he knows? Like a friend, a friends friend, maybe a coworker or anything of the like? This fucker has no clue.
Sure, you can laugh at his jokes, touch his arm, get a little too close to be platonic or friendly, and give him those eyes with a charming little smirk, but maybe you're just like that with all your friends?
I just want a Kyle who's an absolute fucking dunce when it comes to romance. Like friends to lovers? Never heard of it. He's clueless in this arena, and he's gonna leave the grounds with his hair touselled and his clothes wrinkled to death because of it, motherfucker is gonna look windswept, lips kiss-bitten, just because he can't TAKE A FUCKING HINT IF IT DOESN'T RUIN HIM PERSONALLY.
Yeah cuz see– imagine you flirt with him one too many times. You're beginning to run dry of ways to show your interest other than to just outright say "Hello I would like to fuck- date you this instant please I've been flirting for weeks"
So, on a day like any other.
Maybe you're meeting together at a pub, maybe you're going on a stroll after having a snack at a coffee shop, maybe you're coworkers getting your reps in at the gym before leaving together because you finished your sets at the same time.
Doesn't really matter. All you know is he just looks so fucking perfect at that exact second smiling at you with an adorable light in his eyes and a flush on his cheeks– so you decide to fuck it and just say it.
But it comes out like– "Kyle I really like you and I want to kiss you right now, may I please?"
Well. That was a dumpster fire. You meant to throw a hoop but instead you somehow managed to throw the ball so hard it bounces to where it accidentally hits the referee, your coach, and YOURSELF in the face. Goodbye friendzone and HELLO CREEPZONE BECAUSE SOMEONE'S JUST GOT A NEW TICKET TO ENTER AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO CASH IN-
Hold on is Kyle frozen? Why's he staring at you like that? HAH HIS MOUTH IS OPEN? Oh my god– you touch his cheek, he's burning hot.
He's gawking. He's actually-
Oh my god he's flustered. He's fucking blue screening.
I just want an awkward Kyle that isn't so great at cute friends to lovers shit. Want him going blank and flustering every time I hit on him cuz he'd be so FUCKING CUTE.
