Prompt:

#12 —"I thought you didn't like her."

#25 — "She's the one."

You were the most praised, liked and approachable person in the club. You were so loved, it made the has-been Keanu Reeves quite jealous. He used to be in your spot. He used to be the one receiving flowers, hugs and people crowding around him. But instead, he enters the club to see you laughing it up with the other actors and everyone practically doesn't acknowledge his present at all.

Keanu thought that it was pass, but it only got worse. He had to admit, your acting skills was something unique. He had never seen anything like it before, but that was the exact reason why he didn't like it. You were stealing his spotlight, and that was what pissed him off the most. Lately, Keanu has been treating you rudely.

You normally wouldn't mind it, but ever since the first day, Keanu was someone you really genuinely liked. It wasn't hard to see that Keanu didn't feel the same way though. He would offer you the coldest stares during class. He would treat you as if you were invisible. He would insult you rather than compliment you. You tried to not let it get to you, but when someone you looked up to didn't like you, that really hurt.

Keanu on the other hand really did like you. He loved you in fact. He thought that being rude was more of the "hard to get" sort of pathway. He believed that you would chase after him and eventually you would express your feelings for him. He was just terrified to ever say how he felt first. He never was the best with expressing feelings unless the character he was acting had something to get off his chest.

Keanu had his gentle brown eyes glued on you as you were chatting up with a group of your friends in the living room. He stayed back in the kitchen, practically observing you the entire party.

"Dude, the party is out there," his best friend commented, catching Keanu by surprise. "I don't know why you're in here because all the food is gone."

"[Y/N] looks really good tonight," keanu confessed, causing his best friend to almost spill his punch. "she's the one."

"Excuse me?" asked his best friend in bewilderment. "I thought you didn't like her."

His best friend continued to bring up the events where he was a complete asshole to you. To his best friend, hearing that he felt his way about you was something he thought he would never hear.

"Well, if you like [Y/N] so much, why don't you go out and tell her?" his best friend encouraged, patting him on the shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be surprised on how she feels about you."

Before Keanu could respond, his best friend had already shoved him out toward the living room. Your attention was the first thing he caught and that sent Keanu to change back to his cruel self. You excused yourself from the group of friends and approached Keanu with a friendly smile.

"Hey Keanu," you greeted nicely. "I was wondering if you'd want to run over some lines with me after practice tomorrow?"

"Why in the hell would I do that [Y/N]?" keanu scoffed, rolling his eyes in disbelief. His response was loud enough for everyone at the party to pitch in their listening ears. "It's not like you're ever going to become a successful actress anyways."

Your grip on your red cup full of punch was released and it splashed all over the carpet. Keanu furrowed his eyebrows as he saw tears prickling within your eyes. It was as if Keanu's heart had shattered into a million pieces.

"What did I ever do to you?" you choked out with a shaky voice. "I can't believe I ever looked up to you in the first place."

Keanu reached out for you but missed you by a second as you spun around and stormed off to the other room. He watched you as you briefly began wiping away the continuous tears that kept coming. Keanu received looks of disappointment from the others at the party as they followed you into the room to comfort you.

"Damn Keanu," his best friend spoke, approaching him from behind. "you really suck at flirting."

"I...I'm sorry."

"I don't why you're telling me that, as much as I want to be, I ain't [Y/N]," he joked, winning his a small smile from Keanu. "you on the other hand should go apologize to her. She really likes you Keanu, I kid you not. There isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't talk about you."

Keanu didn't want another second to pass and sped off to the room where all your friends were surrounding you. Keanu quietly entered and softly asked if he could speak to you.

"You're probably the last person she wants to see right now," one of her friends snapped defensively. "I always knew you were an asshole."

"I-It's okay you guys," you said softly, sniffling afterwards. "I just want it to be me and him please."

Your friends asked if you were sure but you nodded in confirmation. Keanu ignored the nasty glares from your friends as they shuffled their way back to the living room. Keanu's heart ached as he saw you sat on the floor, your face stained with tears. Keanu walked up to you and sat down beside you. You kept your gaze away from his as he gingerly took your hands.

"[Y/N], I'm sorry that I—"

"Why Keanu," you interrupted quietly, still unable to meet his eyes. "I don't understand what I did to deserve that comment from you."

"It's because I love you [Y/N]." keanu blurted. You swung your eyes up to meet with his regretful brown eyes. "I know that I've been treating you complete shit, but that's only because I'm complete shit at expressing my feelings."

"You've got that right," you chuckled gently. You started to feel a little better as Keanu lightly squeezed your hands a little tighter. "I...I feel the same about you too Keanu."

"[Y/N], I really wish to take back all those rude remarks I've told you, I truly do love you," he confessed, smiling sweetly at you. "I want to start over with you. Do I have your forgiveness?"

"Of course Keanu."
