Oblivious

The first part is kinda based on real life events. But not the part where they get together, because my life isn’t a romance novel.

“Oh, c’mon, Rich. You’re so oblivious sometimes,” Rob chuckles, trailing beside his friend backstage at a panel.

It was your first panel by yourself and you were thrilled yet nervous, so you invited to boys to crash it.

Rich halts in his tracks and turns towards his friend.

“Whatcha mean, Robbie?”

Rob bites his lip, sighing.

“Alright, listen, I promised her I wouldn’t tell you, but I see the way you two look at each other, so I’ll say it. Y/n’s got a big crush on you, Rich. And I can tell you feel the same.”

Rich is completely dumbfounded.

“What? How do you know this?”

“Briana told me. Y/n was there, though, so she knows that I know.”

Rich narrows his eyes at his best friend before letting out a deep breath and relaxing slightly.

“You’re sure about this?”

"Dude, have you ever seen her face around you? She’s always laughing at your stupid jokes or asking you to come to her panels.”

Rich nods and raises an eyebrow, “Wait, you think my jokes are stupid?”

Rob laughs nervously while pushing his friend toward the stage, where you are.

"Go get your girl.”

Rich smiles and throws open the curtain to the stage, causing the audience to erupt in cheers.

“Oh, hey, Rich!” Rob hears you say.

There is silence, besides the fans screams dying down, and then their yelling fills the room again.

“Well, that was-uh-a welcome surprise.”

Seconds later, Rich tosses the curtain aside and looks at Rob victoriously.

“This guy’s got a hot date tonight.”
