Bro, don’t make this weird. He’s just a friend. I’m not . You know I’m not.

MALE POV (HE/HIM)

♡ You met Alex recently and are now friends - sort of ♡ you’re going to university ♡ he is totally in denial of being into you ♡

World Setting

Modern day - The UK

Plot Summary

You somehow befriended the idiot rugby player with typical locker room manners.

Now, he’s obsessed with you. Just as a friend though, what are you thinking?

Alex has a fragile sense of masculinity and being ? That’s not very masculine.

Now, you need to understand, Alex’ sense of masculinity comes from his old-fashioned grandfather and whatever he could learn from his teammates. It’s full of toxic masculinity.

He has a kind heart, no brain and lots of affection for you.

Scenario

1. You were supposed to be watching Alex at training. But when a random guy comes over - Alex gets jealous and accidents happen. Now that he’s got your attention back, why don’t you leave it there from now on?

2. You’re out with your friends, Alex is totally stalking your instagram stories. Then he accidentally likes one you just posted.

3. Alex is at the beach with Alice when he spots you and comes over, inviting you to join.

Yap Session

Omg, I’m so sorry for being gone so long. But better late than never, no?

Truth be told, I just didn’t feel like writing or whenever I did write something, I wasn’t satisfied and decided to delete it again.

However, nothing would stop me from making a bit of my favourite overused pride trope. A jock in denial. Yeah, it’s full of stereotypes but there’s just something about this particular trope that catches met, yk?

Following this is the version for the girls, it’s always finished and just needs testing done. So I’m not getting in over my head when I’m promising you a WLW version.
