Johnny Worthington X Reader: What Friends Are For... Part One

Your two best friends appear to be at odds with each other, and it makes you feel like you're caught in the middle. Mike and Johnny, those two hate each other, and yet you try your best to be on their side, but now since the Scare Games is going on... Well... either way, you're going to cheer for the both of them.

This week's Scare Game is called "Don't Scare The Teen". When all competitors enter the maze roars and try to only scare the human children and not the human teens. You're standing in front of the crowd as you wait for the two teams you're cheering for.

.

Host: First place Roar Omega Roar!

.

Then you see Johnny running out of the maze with his team and they celebrate their first place victory. You cheer for Johnny and his team. Johnny's smile grows wider as he's seeing you in the crowd cheering him on. But then you hear the host announce the second team to make it out of the maze.

.

Host: Second place Oozma Kampa!

.

It was your other best friend Mike Wazowski and his team making it out of the maze and celebrating. Louder cheers are heard from the crowd and you take part of cheering Mike and his team on. Johnny sees you cheering for Mike which pisses him off. Little did you know, he hates you giving your attention to another monster and thinks that he should be the only monster you should be cheering for.

Next week goes by and you haven't really seen or spoken to either Mike or Jonny since both are training for the next scare game but... something's off with Johnny and you don't know what it could be.

The next Scare Game is called "Hide and Seek". Where the competitors enter one of the biggest frat houses and try to hide from the seeker. If the seeker finds at least one of the team members, then the whole team is out of the game. There are only three teams left, including the Roar Omega Roar and Oozma Kampa. The only thing you can hope for is that both teams will succeed.

You do try your best not to show favoritism since you don't want either of your friends to feel a certain way. But at the same time, you worry more about Johnny because you can sense something off about him that he doesn't want to say.

Then Johnny and his team exit the mansion and the crowd cheers for them. Cheering for them made Johnny feel a sense of pride and joy. But then Mike's team exit the mansion and the crowd cheers louder. Of course, you also cheer for them as well. But seeing they made it to the finals and you cheering for Mike was more than enough for Johnny, but he keeps to himself as the host announces that tomorrow night is the final round. The "Scare Simulator" will determine the winners and both teams will be able to scare in front of the whole school. You happily walk up to Mike to congratulate him.

.

Y/n: You're in the finals Mike! You did it!

Mike: Thanks Y/n! I just know we're going to win! You're going to the finals aren't ya?

Y/n: I wouldn't miss it for anything.

.

Then you all see Johnny and his team walking up to you two. Johnny pulls out a smug smile of his face to probably ensure his dominance.

.

Johnny: Enjoy the attention while it last boys. After we win, (leans forward to Mike) no one will remember you.

.

Is he serious? Why the hell is he so mean to him? He knows Mike is also your best friend and yet here he is and right in front of you, straight out disrespecting him like he's nothing. You never understood why Johnny didn't like Mike, probably for no reason, but this was the final straw for you. Just as you were about to say something back, Mike already beat you to it.

.

Mike: Maybe... but when we win. No one will let you forget it.

.

Johhny frowns, letting what he said sink in pretty deep. He knows damn well that's true if Mike wins the Scare Games. ROR is known to win every year since Johnny came to the university. But now Mike's team has a huge chance of winning and letting it be known to all monsters in the school that being small and not scary looking doesn't mean you can't scare.

.

Chet: Oh boy... That is a good point.

.

Johnny angrily scoffs, smacking Chet's hat off before he and the rest walk off into the crowd. You're pissed at him. And... you don't know if he could be a friend to you anymore if he's only to put other monsters down for absolutely no reason.

.

Y/n: Well I got to head back, I got classes early in the morning. I'll see you guys in the finals!

Mike: See ya Y/n!

Sully: (Smiles) Later.

.

Just as you walk away, small monsters approach his team to ask him questions about how they could also be like them. Mike was getting all the good attention from the monsters at this school, big and small. Walking further away from the crowds and walking towards the center of the campus. You walk towards the large stone water fountain in the middle. It's a quiet night, no one is around.

You stare down at your phone, looking over a few pictures you took with Mike, Sully, the rest of their team. And then there's pictures of you standing next to Johnny and his team. It brings you a smile to recall the good times you have shared with Johnny recently. Well... ever since you were a freshman, he's always been there for you. He showed you around, invited you to every party he threw. You met his family, and there were plenty of nights when it was just the two of you and you went out to have fun.

You just reach the large stone water fountain, and just as you were about to put your earbuds in you hear a familiar voice call out to you from behind you.

.

Johnny: I figured you'd be here.

.

You stop in your tracks but you didn't turn around. You're still mad at him, and you don't feel like talking to him right now. Not right now, especially. He walks up to you and places his hand on your shoulder, but you pull yourself back.

.

Y/n: Don't touch me.

Johnny: What's wrong?

Y/n: (You turn around) You know what's wrong. How could you be so mean to Mike? You know he's one of my friends and you insulted him like nothing. I don't want to talk to you right now.

Johnny: Well Mike, has no chance of winning the game. He and his second-grade team are not scary. All I've been doing is reminding him what he can and can't do.

Y/n: But why be an asshole about it?! You could have just left him alone and if he loses because he's not scary then fine. If he wins, congratulate him. You know I still haven't forgiven you for pulling that trick when you invited them to your party. You humiliated them; you showed no remorse and honestly!... I don't know if I could even be friends with you anymore...

.

Despite your voice cracking, you remain as collective as you can right now to prevent him from noticing. The expression on his face changes from serious to shocked.

.

Y/n: I just... I don't know if I could be friends with an asshole... I know you haven't done anything to me but... if you can't even respect my friends and make others suffer... then I just can't... It's sad to know that now I see your true colors... I really see the monster you really are, Worthington... Goodbye...

As you turn away from him, you quickly walk away, leaving him alone. Don't let him see you cry... Don't let him see you cry... You hurry back into the girl's dorm building without anyone seeing you, thank goodness, and you run into your dorm before slamming the door shut, which scares the hell out of your roommate.

You go to your room and sit on the edge of your bed and grab a couple of tissues from the nightstand. Your roommate and friend then comes in and sit next to you.

.

Skyler: Y/n?! What's wrong? Did someone hurt you?

Y/n: No I...well... It's about Johnny. I think I just ended our friendship.

Skyler: What did he do? Tell me.

Y/n: You know who Mike is? The green one-eye monster I'm friends with?

Skyler: Uhh... I've seen him around.

Y/n: Well he and Johnny don't like each other and while I was cheering for both teams throughout the Scare Games, Johnny's been an asshole to him and he knows Mike is one of my friends. And tonight he got up to him and basically insulted him. Right in front of me, he did this. And on my way over here he was at the fountain and I told him that I didn't want to talk to him and when he asked why. I told him that he knew what was wrong. I asked him why does he have to be so mean to Mike? And he says that he's just reminding of what he can and can't do after calling his team a second-grade class. And then... I said I couldn't be friends with an asshole... That I now know his true colors... I even said his last name by the end of it... So I guess... we're done being friends and it just fucking hurts because I really care about Johnny and he's been there for me since day one when I came to the university.

Skylar: Damn... I'm so sorry that happened... So this is really it?

Y/n: I feel like... if... he apologizes to Mike and if Mike wins, he could congratulate him and... maybe there's a chance... I honestly don't want us to stop hanging out. Like I said, I really care about Johnny... and... I don't know why I'm this hurt about not being able to hang out like we used to and...

Skylar: Do you... like him? Like, more than friends?

.

You give it a thought and you realize... maybe you do...

.

Y/n: I'm not a hundred percent sure... Especially from what just happened.

Skylar: Are you still going to final Scare Game?

Y/n: Of course, I'm going to be cheering for Oozma.

Skylar: I really hope it all works out with you and Johnny. I hope he can be mature enough to apologize and stuff you know. And, I have a feeling he likes you more than a friend.

Y/n: Hmm...

.

.

The Final Scare Game...

.

.

Only a few more minutes until the game begins. It's very crowded and everyone is cheering for either R.O.R or O.K. You make your way up to the front seats and convinced a monster that the cops were after him. He ran so quick like his ass was on fire and completely gives up his seat. Now you have a clear view of everything and your literary right behind Mike's team.

.

Y/n: Hey Mike!

Mike: (Turns around) Y/n! You came!

Y/n: I told you I wouldn't miss it.

Sully: Well get ready to see the ultimate scare, right Mikey?

Mike: We got everything planned out so far using each of our capabilities and-

.

While Mike was explaining the plan to you, someone else is watching you. From the other side of the stadium, Johnny was staring at you. Thinking about what you said last night... he honestly didn't get much sleep and had to sleep during the day because he couldn't let the idea of not being an around process in his mind. He hasn't told you. He was planning on telling you before the school semester ends about... well... does it matter anymore?...
