Kyle âGazâ Garrick x chubby!transmasc!reader
âTaste good, sweetheart?â Gaz teases when he sees a smile on your lips for the first time after tasting one of the drinks. Your face has soured after trying each and every one he brought you- but he finally found some fruity seltzer that would probably suit your palate much better.
âMhm!â You hum sweetly, perfectly content as you sipped your drink. âIt doesnât burn going down like all the other ones did.â You hum as you read the nutrition label.
He chuckles, taking a sip of his beer as his eyes roam over your form. âYouâre cutest when youâre happy.â He says with a glint in his eyes, knowing you could hear him, even over the music of the party.
Your cheeks heated up as your eyes met his own, and your smile quickly grew tenfold, much to his enjoyment. Heâd been with enough men in his life to know that a man without a massive ego was a rare find. When he found a kind, humble little thing like you? He knew he couldnât let you go. Let alone how your smile made his heart race, and how you unintentionally looked at him like you wanted to fuck him. He knew it wasnât intentional- he mentioned âbedroom eyesâ once and you had no idea what he meant. Itâs the fact that youâre oblivious to how charming you are- thatâs what got him riled up.
Kyle was such a good friend, you often thought to yourself. He was caring, protective, and actually emotionally available which was a major plus. He always made your tummy flutter when he teased you, and your chest burn when he touched you. You couldnât help but stare at him sometimes- he was so goddamn pretty. Sure, youâd thought about if things had gone any farther.. but doesnât everyone imagine that?
After two cans of your now favorite drink, Gaz could tell how much more relaxed you were. Your smile was less tight, and limbs not as stiff. The little gleam in your eye was as bright as ever, clearly enjoying your surroundings, filled with loud music and flashing lights. You didnât seem like the party type- but here you were having fun. He watches as you take the last sip of your drink, looking slightly disappointed before turning to him. âCould I have another?â You asked ever so sweetly.
He shouldâve said no. He shouldâve cut you off. But he couldnât stand to tell you anything but âof courseâ as he went to grab you another one. But what he didnât expect, was to come back and see Soap at your side, a devious look in his eye like always. He was clearly drunk, and not shy about flirting with you. When Gaz walks over, he smirks as he watches Soap try to enamor you- but itâs clear youâre too sweet for your own good.
âLad- Christ, yer cuâe as a buttonâ Johnny grins as he looks down at you, his arm on the wall you were leaning back against. When you giggle softly, he practically beams, very proud of himself. âAnâ listen tâya? Wee little thing yaâ are.â He teases.
Soapâs smile made your own grow, a little ray of sunshine smiling up at him, not even noticing the very obvious hard on in his pants. âYour eyes are such a pretty shade of blueâ you said softly, and Gaz could practically see Johnny short circuit. This wasnât how it was supposed to go- he wasnât supposed to get genuine compliments. His cheeks flushed red and he stepped back slightly, rubbing the back of his neck with a shy smile. Gaz swoops back in, handing you your drink and slipping a hand around your waist to guide you away from the party. âBye Johnny!â Youâd called out sweetly behind you, Soap trying to gather himself as he takes a slow sip of his drink, watching as Gaz whisks you away.
You smile as you look around the room, admiring the atmosphere as Gaz guides you along the wall until you reach an area with multiple couches. He sits down on one, pulling you to sit next to him. By this point heâs too drunk to care about the fact that youâre âjust friendsâ, and he wraps his arm around your shoulders, holding you close against his side. You giggle at the contact, taking a sip of your fresh drink with a hum. He looks down at you with a contented smile, unable to hide how he was gazing at you like you were everything. âDrink slow.â He murmurs against your ear.
You nod with a smile before taking another tiny sip, your mind fuzzy from the alcohol. You were feeling so much lighter than usual, and it was clear by your next words you were feeling much less rational. âYou make me mad sometimes.â You say nonchalantly.
His smile quickly shifts, and his head tilts slightly as he looks down at you. âWhat did I do this time?â He asks exasperatedly.
You huff, resting your head on his shoulder. âI mean, youâre all touchy.â You mutter, and Kyle quickly feels guilt wracking through him. You didnât like it? He couldâve sworn you always seemed happy- never uncomfortable. He quickly starts to move his arm off of your shoulders, but your words stop him. âYouâre all nice and sweet to me but you donât even have a crush on me.â You mutter. âItâs not fair. I barely get attention from anyone, and here you come thinking you can give me extra tight hugs and I wonât fall in love with you.â You ramble, clearly tipsy. âIsnât that mean? Leaving me wanting to hold you and I donât even get to.â You huff.
Now itâs his turn for his brain to short circuit. Christ in heaven, he had never met someone that could be so honest with their feelings. He wouldnât put it past you to say something like that when youâre sober either. You had a knack for catching people off guard- and this was one of those times. He thinks for a moment, his own thought process slowed by the alcohol in his system. âWhat makes you think I donât have a crush on you?â He asks softly.
You roll your eyes and take another sip of your drink. âWell I donât know.â You mutter. âI saw a few magazines in your room one day.. sexy firefighters and all that. Iâm not your type.â You say quietly. But before he can say anything, you start up again. âAnd I mean hey- I get it! Firefighters are hot. Iâd want to fuck them too. Theyâre.. theyâre really hot actually.â You mutter quietly, as if imagining it in your mind. âBut- but youâre hot too!â You snap suddenly, sitting up and turning to look at him. âAnd itâs so mean that a hot guy flirts with a not hot guy- because like- I donât know! I donât know why itâs mean, it just feels mean.â You huff, and Gaz can see a hint of a pout on your lips. âI mean- I like it.. but donât do it- because it makes me like you.â
The alcohol was definitely getting to you. And it was getting to him too. His pants grew tighter at the thought of you finding him hot. Of course he knew he was conventionally attractive- but heâd been told in the past he was too pretty. Too perfect. And he couldnât help but wonder if you wouldnât find him attractive either. âHey- heyâ he says with a small chuckle. âI keep those magazines more for- um.. body goals.â He admits sheepishly.
You blink at him owlishly as you look up at him. âLike.. for me?â You mutter with confusion, making him laugh.
âNo, dumbassâ he grins. âFor me.â
You let out a breath of air, taking another sip of your drink. âDonât you already look like that?â You asked softly.
And he had to admit. That made his ego inflate a good bit. He had been trying to achieve a perfect standard for his body- because he knew he was capable of it. But.. sometimes it didnât feel the best. And it would eat away at him. Knowing you already saw him like that? It felt good. âMaybe a little.â He smiles shyly, rubbing the back of his neck. âAnd for the record?â He murmurs. âI do have a crush on you.â
Your eyes widen slightly and you quickly sip on your drink. âOh.â You whisper faintly. âSo.. why arenât we dating?â You asked with genuine (drunken) curiosity.
His eyebrows raise slightly and huffs, letting out a weak laugh. âI didnât think it was that easy.â He murmurs with a small smile.
You nod, shifting to sit back next to him once again, your head on his shoulder. âWant to stay in my room tonight?â You asked softly, the question light and innocent. His heart immediately sped up, and he nodded before placing a small kiss to the top of your head.
And that was how the two of you ended up in your room a few hours later. You had gotten changed into your comfiest pjs, an oversized sweatshirt and sweatpants. Youâd given Gaz a sweatshirt as well, even though it was a little big on him he loved it all the same. Youâd given him your hello kitty sweatpants to wear, while you got to wear the Batman ones (he secretly wanted the hello kitty ones anyways).
You were both sitting facing each other on your bed, you closest to the head and him closer to the foot of the bed. It was honestly adorable to him how giggly you were, and he had no idea but he himself was pretty giggly too. The two of you had been cycling through your entire pile of stuffed animals, making him learn all of their names. Holding a little platypus, you looked at Gaz with a challenge in your eyes. âIf you remember it you can hold him while we sleepâ you smirk.
Gazâs eyes quickly narrow as he looks at the brown, rounded plushie, racking his brain trying to remember. âFucking hell.. I do want to hold that one.â He huffs. âPeanut?â He says hesitantly. And he knows itâs game over when your smirk widens.
âSo close yet so farâ you grin. âWalnut.â
He groans, letting himself flop onto the bed in defeat. When you start laughing he quickly pulls you down with him, making you squeal playfully as he starts to tickle you lightly. You laugh loudly against him as you try to push him off, eventually grabbing one of your biggest stuffed animals and wacking him with it, making him release a small âoofâ.
When he gets up onto his knees again with a grin, he gently tosses your plushies onto the bed, yanking you into his arms. âYouâre the only plushie I needâ he murmurs as he holds you close.
You giggle sweetly, turning around in his arms so youâre sitting in between his legs, his chest to your back. You grab your phone and open your camera, grinning as widely as you can as you lift up your arm to take a picture of the two of you. He smiles at your antics, looking up at the camera and giving his dashing debonair smile. âWhatâs that for?â He asks after the fact, placing a small kiss to your shoulder as his arms wrap around your soft tummy.
You turn to kiss his cheek while his head rests on your shoulder with a soft smile. âYou might wake up tomorrow and you wonât like me anymoreâ you say softly. âI want to remember this, you know? Iâve never had a guy let me tell him about my plushies. Or about how Walnut is my favorite.â You giggle softly.
He smiles at your laugh, but your words make his heart heavy. Were you truly so starved of affection that you were scared of losing it already? âThis isnât a one time thing, okay?â He says softly, pressing a light kiss to your neck. âIâm planning on keeping you around.â He murmurs. âEven if itâs just for Walnut.â He smirks, making you very gently bonk your head against his own.
âMeanie.â you giggle, making him grab you harder and pull you with him up to the head of the bed. âKyle!â You laugh as he makes you get under the covers with him. âI wanted to watch a movieâ you whine playfully.
He grins, holding you tightly against him as the little spoon so you canât escape. âNope. Itâs bedtime. And I want cuddles.â He says against your ear. You huff, but reach out to grab Walnut, hugging him against your chest.
You playfully kick his leg before settling into his hold, and realizing how nice and warm he felt. âFine. But.. only because Iâm a little sleepy. Not because you told me you.â You mutter, and before you know it, youâre dozing off with Kyleâs arms around you and his face buried against your neck.
