Dear Evan Hansen One Shot

Having a crush on your best friend was a lot harder than you imagined. Having a crush on anyone else meant you could observe from a distance and not have to fear that they would figure it out and if they did, not fear the destruction of a years developing friendship. You and Jared had been best friends since you were in diapers, your mothers having been friends since High School. They had joked about you ending up together, but Jared always seemed disgusted by the jokes they made, and it made your heart break every time.

With prom coming up, there was one person you wanted to go with, but you had already given up any hope that he would ask you to go with him. It didn't mean you were trying to wait for him, no one else was jumping at the chance to take you, so you assumed you would be going to prom alone, well that was until Jared came over to stand before you.

Jared was never a nervous person. He always had something to say and most of the time it was unpleasant. There were pretty much always words coming out of his mouth, but he was nervously stood before you, having not even said hello and that concerned you.

"Are you okay?" You questioned.

Even if you were coming to face the fact that he wouldn't like you in return, you were still his best friend and with the extra interest, you hated seeing him in any way distressed and wanted to do anything in your power to help him.

"I've done a lot of dumb things, but this is the dumbest," he said. "I need to talk to you about something, but I need you to promise not to laugh or shout at me."

You were frankly confused by the situation. You had no idea why you would laugh or shout at him but clearly, he was upset so you wanted to help him.

"I promise. What's wrong?" You said softly.

He sighed, taking a moment to bring all of his thoughts together and be able to talk coherently.

"I've kind of liked you for a while and I haven't wanted to ruin what we have between us because I truly appreciate this friendship. I understand if you don't like me back, but I have hidden how I feel for so long and now I want to give it a shot and see if maybe you like me to. Y/N, would you like to go to prom with me?" He asked, his face far paler than usual due to nerves.

You couldn't hold back the big grin on your face as you jumped forward to pull him into a bone crushing hug.

"I would love to."
