Haruto Watanabe - “Don’t You Want To Know How I Feel?” Friends to Lovers, Celebrity!AU
It all started off when you two got paired to host a radio show together, it was unexpected, but nonetheless you looked forward to it due to Haruto being a longtime friend of yours.
You two had first become friends when you both debuted around at the same time.
The two of you bumped into each other one day and instantly hit off from there. You were Haruto’s dear friend and he was yours, but the line of friendships and relationships is easily erased.
As the two of you grew older, attending award shows separately and watching each other’s performances and listening to each other’s songs, your mind became jumbled.
It had been years since the two of you had been friends and you had never really realised how much he had really grown until you almost slipped down the stairs of the radio studio. Haruto’s quick reflexes and strong arms prevented the nasty fall you had almost faced, but it didn’t prevent you starting to see him in a different light.
It had become hard to face him, you started to feel guilty. You began avoiding him to prevent your feelings towards him growing any stronger but due to your radio show together your plan failed.
Just like any other day you two attended your radio show and the topic of your radio show one day was ‘confessing to your first love’, you had callers all over the country calling in and telling their story of how they confessed.
“On the topic of first loves, why don’t we share our experiences?” Haruto read off the script stoic faced.
You felt your heart drop and your mouth go dry.
“Y/N, have you had your first love yet?” He spoke, it not being on the script at all.
You had to keep your composure, it wasn’t the first time Haruto was being a tease while the two of you were on air. But this time, it was different, the aura around him was different.
You reminisced how the two of you had grown, from teens to young adults, from rookies to respected seniors.
You were going to confess. Your company wouldn’t be happy with you but your heart would.
“Actually, I met my first love when I debuted. We had very similar schedules so we bumped into each other occasionally.” You spoke into the mic, avoiding eye contact with Haruto, but you felt his heavy stare.
“We hit off from there, and every time we would meet up we would always talk, and from there we would just meet up with each other in our spare time, if we could.”
“But we were young back then, but as we got older, and as I saw less of him and instead saw him through another lense, I realised that he wasn’t my friend but a man.”
Haruto’s heavy stare burned into you while you went on.
“So, I started to avoid him, I didn’t want to give up our friendship. I felt guilty that I felt this way, for falling for him and for avoiding him.” You spoke softly into the mic.
“What’s his name?” Haruto asked looking down, his bangs covering his eyes.
“Haruto.” You said looking at him.
Your manager and his gasped so loud that you heard it from outside.
“We’re going off air right now!” Your manager yelled.
You quickly got up from your chair, planning on leaving, trying to avoid facing Haruto after your abrupt confession on nationwide radio.
He stood up, and clasped his hand softly around your wrist, preventing you from leaving. You turned around to face him, tears in your eyes but a small smile and a faint blush on his face, he looked at you and smiled.
“Don’t you want to know how I feel?”
