✧ ARTIST ♡ Jere Pöyhönen
✧ WARNINGS ♡ Mentions of reader being cheated on by her boyfriend.
✧ SYNOPSIS ♡ Y/N visits Jere late at night after being cheated on, but it turns out to be the best decision.

    A KNOCK ON the door snapped a sleepy Jere Pöyhönen out of the state of half sleep that he had been in. The male groaned but eventually stood up, curious to know who'd be at the door this late at night. He had not been expecting anyone as he was ready to fall asleep. He opened the door and frowned once he took in the sight of his best friend and crush, Y/N L/N, standing there with tears spilling down her cheeks.

    He went to ask what was wrong but she beat him to it. "He cheated on me, J." The girl knew that he would immediately know who she was referring to.

    Her now ex boyfriend had been cheating on her with a girl from his job and she only discovered that because of a friend of hers. It was as if her heart was shattered. This had been a relationship that she thought was stable, she thought that she had been enough for her ex. She honestly felt stupid for not seeing the signs, but she knew that it really wasn't her fault.

    The dark haired male felt like something was off about Y/N's ex but chalked it up as him being jealous because of his feelings for the girl. He never wanted her to be in pain or hurt in anyway so his heart broke at the sight of her. She looked so betrayed and so crushed.

    "Oh N/N, I'm so sorry. Come in." He soon opened the door further and allowed her to enter his place. He closed the door once she walked in.

    The H/C haired girl sighed before looking around. She had come over numerous times but her emotions were all over the place so she felt a little overwhelmed. She faced him and noticed just how tired Jere looked so she felt bad for coming so late just because of this.

    "I'm sorry for coming so late—I just didn't want to see anyone else. I was about to go on a date with him when Emma called me to tell me that she saw him kissing some girl at their work place." She felt the need to explain everything right then and there.

    The male led her to his bed so she could sit down. He eyed her with care, not wanting her to feel like he didn't want to listen to her. He always worried about her and to see her so distraught, it was something that he never wanted to see again.

    He didn't want her to apologize for what happened to her, she really didn't need to do so. "Don't apologize. I would rather you be here than anywhere else. You're safe and you don't need to worry about anything. He is an idiot for cheating on someone as lovely as you."

    Y/N gave a sarcastic laugh before saying something she thought to be true. "If I am so lovely then why did I get cheated on by the person who I thought loved me? I confronted him about it and he claimed that I don't give him 'enough attention.' He also told me that he can tell that 'I like someone else.' He was so convinced that what he was doing was fair."

    Jere felt confused but didn't show it. "He doesn't deserve you. Last time I checked, you did too much for him and gave up more than you should have. I'm curious though...who does he think you have feelings for?"

    The girl bit her lip when she felt a sense of nervousness crash into her. She was very hesitant about responding to the question since it was Jere that she had feelings for and her ex was right about it. Honestly, she had feelings for the brunette ever since they really became friends but never thought that he would feel that same way.

    It wasn't like she didn't have feelings for her ex, obviously she did, but Jere was just the best person. He had always been there for her and he understood her better than anyone else.

    "You. He said that I had feelings for you." Her tone was calmer than she thought it was going to be.

    Her tears had subsided and she felt a bit better due to her best friend's presence. He always helped her, even if he didn't realize it all the time.

    The Pöyhönen hoped that she would have said him but he didn't actually think she was going to, so he was surprised by her words. A small smile escaped since he couldn't help it. "Me? Why would he think that? I am sure he's mistaken."

    Y/N sighed out, "Because it's true...I have had feelings for you for the longest time. To be honest, I never thought you'd see me as anything other than your best friend and I didn't think I was good enough for that. You are this amazing guy and I don't have the best record with relationships, which I have always thought was because of me."

    For the first time in a long time, he was speechless, trying to process her words. It was something he had dreamed of for as long as they'd been friends.

    Jere found his smile growing when he finally processed everything. "I have feelings for you too. I have felt the same to be honest. I never thought I had a chance and I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but then you got into a relationship and I really felt like I wouldn't have a chance."

    Y/N went to say something but he didn't let her since he wanted to get everything off his chest. "Your relationships never failed because of you, I'm sure of that. For some reason, I feel like it was fate trying to get us together; although, I hate the fact that you got cheated on."

    The H/C haired girl smiled as well at his words. "My night is definitely getting better thanks to you, but I think I need some sleep and cuddles to help."

    "I think I can make that happen," Jere laughed.

    Y/N went to wash her face before joining Jere back in his bed. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head, holding her tightly whilst they eventually fell asleep.
