always you –felipe drugovich.
slightly inspired for that one scene from little women
pov: felipe decides to confess his feelings for you after he finds out he might lose you.
"marcus snached that win from me really. it was a great move the one he did at the beginning of the race." clément goes on, he can't shut up about yesterday's race.
felipe rolls his eyes. "yeah well i really don't want to hear more about mar-"
"and now after that win he's definitely getting y/n to go with him on that trip he told me about, and since they've been seeing each other for some time he's gonna ask her for the real deal. you know i always thought y/n kind of liked you a bit but well-", clément says rapidly, but felipe feels every word like an heavy weight dropping on his heart.
"he's gonna do what?", felipe furrows his eyebrows. marcus and y/n in a serious relationship? he feels out of breath. the thought of losing you choking him.
"yeah he really likes her and she seems happy with him so he told me he would organize a trip and he would talk to her-"
"when? did he tell you when is the trip happening?", he stands up, as he grabs his phone to message you.
are you at the hotel?
he presses send.
"mmhm i don't know, he said he would tell her after the race but i don't know when or where are they going", clém says, weirded out by felipe's sudden change of mood.
"i gotta go, talk to you later", he quickly says as he heads out to go find you.
he won't let you go. he can't. no matter how much he tells himself you deserve better than him. and no matter how many times he tries to be with another girl, it doesn't change his feelings for you, those feelings that he tries to hide and bury deep inside of him.
his phone sounds. it's you.
yes.
you reply.
he's gonna tell you everything.
.
you're packing your stuff when you hear a knock on your door. it's him.
"hey", you say.
"hey. are you busy?", he asks.
"just packing", you answer. you shouldn't but you step aside and you let him in. like you always do.
he stays quiet for a bit as you come back to the bed to put the remaining things inside your bag.
"don't go on that trip", he lets out, with his face full of pain. the pain of fully losing you. and he hates how selfish he is. "don't go with him."
you freeze, hating him, hating this, hating what he still does to you. "don't you dare", you say, your lips forming a straight line, trying to pull yourself together before him. you keep your eyes on the bag, incapable of looking at him. there is no way he's doing this now, after all these years.
"i'm sorry", he shakes his head as he walks closer to you.
"so now that you've got no one, now it's the time that you decide to do this huh? when you have no one better, that's when you come for me.", your eyes water.
he doesn't hesitate to cup your cheeks and make you look at him straight in the eye, "don't you ever say that again. not when everytime i was with someone i compared them to you, always tired of thinking how would it be if they were you. and i got sick of it, sick of staying behind, sick of trying to deny how you've always been the one i want to be with. you are and will always be too good for me, but i can't let you go and lose forever the opportunity to be with you and become the man that you deserve."
tears fall from your eyes. you don't say a word, thoughts still running through your mind. he has always wanted you but never did because he thought he didn't deserve you?
"fuck you", you let out, looking to his eyes. he doesn't look away, he holds you gaze and he slightly nods.
"ask me to leave and i will", his hands don't leave your face. he knows you won't ask that. he knows you, he knows what he has to do, and what he wants to do.
"fuck you."
seconds that feel like years go by, until one of his hands goes behind your head and he closes the gap once and for all. the kiss is intense, fierce, there's no holding back now. you're both mad at each other for waiting so long for this to happen. your entire body is in flames, the kiss lightning up a fire in you. your hands are on his neck, you kiss him relentlessly.
you're both selfish, choosing each other after everything that has happened. him finally coming to you after you've been loving him all this time. and you choosing him even after that, because even though marcus makes you feel so special, you know you would always made this choice. it would always be felipe, no matter what, no matter after how long.
the kiss ends and you join your foreheads together, you can feel him slightly shaking his head.
"i love you", he says. "is it too late?"
you let out a sigh. "it will never be too late for you." and that's irrevocably the truth.
