Can you write something where the Smoke's s/o talked him into going to Smoke's hometown together?

yall got me doing so much research for this man, and i love it!!! turns out his hometown is Prague, which i dont know why but i didnt expect. but hey, beautiful city to fit a beautiful man. man now i really wanna go to prague, yall got me ON SOMETHING. update yall when i do lmfaooo

cw: fluff, thats really all, sweet ol' tomas, gn reader, proofread

-𝙎𝙈𝙊𝙆𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙉𝙎 𝙏𝙊 𝙋𝙍𝘼𝙂𝙐𝙀

At first, Tomas was apprehensive about returning to Prague. It had been a while since he had seen the city. Truth be told, he was a little afraid of change.

But he gives in, especially to you. He figures if he's stayed connected to his Czechian culture, it'd be a wasted opportunity to not go back to Prague.

He admits, his Czech isn't on par with locals anymore, either. Yes, he's studied it and has made it a point to use it, but especially with the Lin Kuei, his English and Chinese out-weigh his Czech. Lucky for you two, about 50% of the population in Prague speaks English, especially waiters. And Tomas is able to cover for the remaining 50%.

Bonus points, if you speak Russian, you get to roughly understand 74% of that 50% of Czech. If you speak Polish, however, you'll only be able to roughly understand about 36%.

Tomas loves the idea of you learning Czech, too. He'll absolutely help, he thinks that it is a really good bonding experience, and it definitely brings you two closer.

Some of the things Tomas is interested in doing when you two end up in Prague is going to the Lobkowicz Palace, an art museum. He definitely wants to explore every little place, but out of the popular tourist attractions, that's the first that caught his eye. He'd also love to see the castle, just out of fascination.

He also takes you to Old Town at night, simply because he thinks it's beautiful. And it shows just a little bit of what he remembered. He isn't much of a pub crawler, but he will follow you if you wish. And if you just want to go to a club to dance, he's down too.

Speaking of clubs, Tomas seems particularly interested in going to the Jazz Dock, as surprising as it may be. He looooves dancing with you, even surrounded by strangers.

To be honest, he just really enjoys the night scene. Not surprising, really. But he loves how the city lights offer a subtle glow against your figure, he thinks it compliments you as a whole.

Tomas will always treat you to dinner, too. He'll take you to some of the more popular, tourist spots if you so wish, but he prefers the smaller local cafés and diners. His favorite has to be the Bella Vida café, while not small or local by any means, he loves the river view and just the coziness of the café.

Another bonus, if you go down there during St Wenceslas Day (Today, actually, September 28th, as I'm writing), Tomas won't mind participating. More of, he'll observe, since he likes to be in-tune with his Czech history, especially since this day is about Czechian history.

thank you for bring so unapologetically masculine. idk if i'm just sensitive to it but sometimes it feels like trans men are constantly expected to apologize for being men, whether it be to our family members who "mourn" us or our fellow queers who tell us we're not safe to be around anymore... it puts so much guilt in me that i don't want to be there. like i'm just some guy and that's all i wanna be, just a nice guy who does his own thing, but it feels like people only see us as men when they want to mock us or tell us that we're a danger to them. i digress. tldr; thanks for reminding me that it's okay to be a guy and i hope you never feel like you need to apologize for being you, because you are awesome.

Thank you for contacting the Male Distribution System Bark Line. Remember: Embracing your true self will never be anything to apologize for. Your message was delayed due to processing, but is now in the queue.

Hey nonny, you're absolutely welcome.

Fuck i just, i really feel you here dude. It's so weird to be told that someone is "mourning" a version of you that only existed in their minds, when you're standing right the fuck there and just wanting to be happy. i be like the fuck is you mourning nigga, my misery? got off to it that much?

And yeah. I've had other queer folk make "men bad" statements/jokes to my face, I've had 'friends' who would make strange, baseless blanket assumptions about men that do nothing but make me feel gross and guilty for...existing.

(example: I dont even really know who the "try guys" are, but awhile ago one of them cheated on his wife and all i saw for days on twitter were OTHER QUEER PEOPLE insisting that "men calling themselves a wifeguy is suspicious because now we know he was compensating for something", which led to me anxiously asking my wife if she thinks i'm weird or suspicious because up until then i considered myself a wifeguy cause. well i love my wife haha, and i do talk about her a lot. but anyways, she spent a great while thoroughly explaining that i'm not, and that the people saying these things are being very weird and overreacting. in retrospect i think, what the fuck was the point of people saying that? you want men to be scared of showing off their wives? that dont make no lick of sense tf. just make fun of him for being a gross cheater.)

Sorry for the long aside i just, i feel you dude. i also wanna be Just Some Guy lol. But yeah, You know, you'll always be welcome here.

Aint nothin wrong with being a man. Never has been, never will be. Being a man is a completely and utterly neutral thing to be just like any other immutable trait a person can have.

And hey, thanks. I hope you take it easy buddy ☆

#Bark Line #honestly if you have a twitter you should stop using it for your own sake.#i simply think it is a bad place to be. not like i think tumblr is that much better lmfao but twitter feels. Extra Bad. lmaoo

Fluff alphabet w/ knubbler (remake)

Remaking this because skimming through the old version some of my hcs have changed + I wanna get back into writing for mtl while the rot is here... maybe I'll do some other characters (winks)

No queue we die like men (I'm inpatient and wanna post mtl NOW!!!!(.. quickly realizing why I dont do long posts like this on mobile anymore. Not proof read we die like dethklok fans

Bonus prompt ♡ is PDA

Notes: reader is GN though this is mostly focused on general knubbler hcs

CWs: edit

Attraction

I would say hes a bit shallow but I'm a dickface shipper/j, serious note I think depending on circumstance he can overlook surface level stuff if you're charming enough! I mention in the original post that I think he enjoys feistier folk; outspoken and ready to dish it back if its tossed at them. It keeps things interesting even if it can get frustrating at times. Needs someone with humor, though

Bonding

He tries to make time for you when hes not working, he usually takes you out somewhere. Usually dinner or to the mall- hes bit materialistic and he doesn't mind spoiling you. Music fanatic, listens to everything and looooves listening to some of the stuff you're into, most definitely dissecting it too thanks to his career

Cuddling

Average older person body type, a bit on the cooler side temperature wise. VERY handsy when cuddling most of the time. Prefers to be big spoon but would not object if you turn the tables

Dates

As mentioned he spoils you, so going somewhere nice (and a bit pricy) is a common date experience. Flirting and innuendos aside, dates also double as a catch up thing for you. Again due to him working hard a lot of the time to keep up with his career

Emotion

Hes pretty level headed, though seeing him getting frustrated or annoyed isnt an uncommon occurrence. He has a pretty normal threshold when it comes to bullshit in the day to day- does get a little more emotional if hes under the influence, its just hard to guess which emotion it'll be until hes drunk

Family

Hes not interested in having children, for the most part. Hes had those fleeting "what if" thoughts, but anything more than that? No. That being said I do personally headcanon that he has siblings, who might have children of their own. Rich aunt knubbler supremacy/j

Gift giving

Again, he spoils you. A lot. He can afford it thanks to working with dethklok, and that's assuming hes not also producing for others. Even if hes not giving you something significant, hes sending you roses to remind you you're his

Harsh

He can get short when hes angry but he does try his best to reel himself in and try to find a solution, and depending on the context willing to compromise so both sides are satisfied. Naturally hes easier to work up if hes stressing out. Prefers to go to the side to cool off if things get too intense

Injury

Very similar to the old post, he reacts accordingly based on the nature of your injury. He can be a little insensitive to it, though, but like.. in. a "oh we have different pain thresholds and I kind of forget that" kind of way

Jealousy

Oh this man gets jealousy with a capital J. Want a quick way to get him worked up? Make him jealous. I mean don't becahse that's kind of shitty but. You know. Depending on the context and how the relationship as a whole is going hes either going to toss you to the side or play your game- has the "I didnt lose you you lost me" mentality, kind of gets nasty with it if you really fuck things up

Kiss

Lots of kisses- quick and light, or deep any passionate. Any kiss is a good kiss- tends to favor your mouth of course! Loves being kisses on the cheek

Love language

Guys I don't think I said this yet but he likes buying stuff for you/j

No serious notes, he listens to you. You're someone he can just talk to, no having to worry about your job or your reputation. Just talking. Hes a good listener, actually. Physical touch is another way he shows his love. Not even just sexually; reassuring and innocent hands on the shoulder or a hand steadying you on your back when you're faltering. Things like that

Marriage

Similar to having children hes never really thought about it. He doesnt strike me as the type to settle and commit to something long term, even just having you long term as a non-spouse is a change for him. He might warm up to it one day, he might not

A quick dealbreaker is if you put his career in jeopardy. Hes worked way too hard for this and hes not going to let it get wiped just like that. Not even necessarily getting him fired, just interfering in any negative way can put in a lot of tension

Oddity

Goofy ass laugh. Laughs at his own jokes, most of which being bad or corny. That's not even touching on his sexual innuendos. Horrid. Tomato tomato tomato

Petnames

Naturally he calls you babe and baby. Hon and honey are thrown in there every now and then. Oh he would definitely use dumber names in passing, partly because he unironically thinks they're cute and because he likes seeing your reaction

Quiet time

Well I guess it defeats the purpose of this segment being called "quiet" time but that idea earlier of the two of you just sitting and enjoying music together and analyzing it sounds nice. Outside of that the two of you can sit in silence doing something on your own. Life can get hectic, especially when one or even both of you work for dethklok

Risk

He takes risks, calculated ones though. He thinks about the pros and cons of everything before acting, and if it would be better to do it than do nothing if the outcome doesnt look too good. But that's in the context of himself and his work. But with you? Unless you're dying or in danger he tends to play it safe even if he can still come off as a douche every once in a while

Shh

He has his healthy share of secrets. Nothing wrong with that, privacy is important. If he needs to tell you something that he thinks you should know, he will tell you when its appropriate

Tunes

Maybe its because I'm going insane over these songs, and I hope you can forgive me for not linking them but:

Modern day cane and mx sinister

Both by IDKHBTFM. Less of a "you guys listen to these together/it reminds me of knubbler x reader stuff " but because the songs kind of remind me of him in general/I feel hed listen to these

Upset

He tries to work through things when hes upset, but he does separate himself from the situation if it gets too much- whether it be to keep him from saying or doing something hes really going to regret later or because he just can't deal with it in that moment

He offers to listen to you when you're upset, he tends to be unbiased so he can offer a good solution if that's what you need. He does try to spare your feelings but get ready to sometimes hear what you dont want

Wedding

Valentine

Roses, candies, and a reservation to some fancy place- something higher quality than the usual. Definitely the type to try to initiate intimacy on Valentine's

If it DOES happen, hes going all out. Maybe it's the fact hes rich and famous and he can overindulge a bit, but an expensive wedding is likely. It may not be huge, in terms of attendants though. Just friends and family

Xray

Hes gotten very good at reading people over the years so good luck trying to act normal around him if something is going on. If you seem avoidant about talking, he does try to drop hints that you can talk to him

Yearn

Oh this man yearns, both innocently and not so. He copes well enough between the times you are apart or see each other less

Zzz

Snores in his sleep. Has a long routine. Sleeps like a sickly Victorian person; on his back, head tilted backwards, arms sprawled across his torso. Primarily sleeps on his back, though, maybe you can cuddle into his side

Bonus prompt ♡

Looooves PDA, always holding you in some way. If the setting is professional he will keep his hands to himself. Does not mind showing you off, either

okay but hold me like you scared to sounds so good already (they all sound so good tbh but this one piqued my interest lol) what's it about? and for the fanfic questions 32, 50 and J :))

@frappe-the-peppermint WE GOT ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ahem oh wow who said that. anyway ill do the questions first then get into fic discussion…

32) Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?

i listen to SO MUCH MUSIC!!!!! it depends on what im wrting tbh but i just queue up a bunch of songs in my liked playlist and write and write until it ends or im no longer on that flow. and well my music taste is an absolute mess so there isnt any one definitive band or genre that does it for me (i only pay attention Sometimes) but i suppose artists like mitski and queen would be a decent summary of my taste 😅

50) How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

gravity falls, no stop. the first one that ever piqued my interest was versability (originally on ff.net me thinks) and god damn it HOOKED ME!!!! gravity falls was already getting me up but wow that just got me SO MUCH HIGHER. i have a few authors i started binge reading like thesnadger and pinesinthewoods, i started extracting fics from reccs from tumblr artists, soon discovered ao3, and never looked back. and as for writing fic,,,,, well frankly it was the search for the cure’s original form that got me GOING!!!! it originally had crappy ocs as the forefronters but i soon changed that lmao (im definitely not saying theyre bad in general, just those… no) and i wrote So Much For It on my notes app. i didnt realize i culd actually show people until way later, in which i did, and realized that it could actually be better. thats why i reversed back to part one, made the story a part two, scapped the ocs, and…now we’re here. i still love it and gravity falls, i dont really show it here anymore. i really should, man. i need to write for them again!!!! it still excites me!!!! and the prose that im weaving now,,,, id DEMOLISH THE GAME!!!!!!! :)

J) what your favorite fanfic trope? have you written it?

honestly i think just showing you my favorted ao3 tags will paint a very detailed picture. here:

though i suppose if i had to pick one here…god its between time loop and presumed dead (and grief/moruning but idk if thats a trope so much as it is a theme). MMMMMMMM. mmmmm. just YES. the psychological affects of both being a time loop and thinking someone you love is dead but they arent actually are DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! they are a MUST HAVE. i daydream constantly, but i havent written time loop yet because while i love it, i havent hadthe motive to write such a thing myself. reading is chill ✊ and presumed dead well i try to throw it is as much as i can, the most recent ive used being a west end town and my favorite being that one kid from jersey ! i need to do more of these fr. its just so GOOD!!!!!!

okay. its finally time for the brainwashing discussing of the fic ! i can tell you alllll about that story and it will be my pleasure sonny 🫡 its a very long story. but short verison in case you dont want to go on: its a Titanic epic . april 1912. iceberg. ive read a few that are AMAZING, but i wanted to write one that catered it allll to Me. it has lesbians, heaven sucking ass, flood parallels, and a king of the world AND draw me like one of your french girls scene. very nice 🔥

okay now its time for the long story. so a super super long time ago for a post i cant even remember (i really wanna find it 😭😭) i for someone reason went on a tangent about the titanic. i had just read this fic called sinking into the sea which was tbh VERY GOOD (and i would read it again fr fr ) but at the time, i was kinda bummed that aziraphale and crowley never actually Interacted when i had expected. aziraphale didnt even know crowley was there!!! it left me feeling melancholy, and realizing that all of the titanic fics ive ate up to that point didnt HIT hit the spot (i didnt find this after this realization, but again, theyre not even on the boat 🤧) so i was feeling a bit incomplete. i started ranting and ranting it was a wholeee wall of a text of what I would do with a titanic story and i realized oh wait i can Do Something with this because i haev free will and actual (somewhat) coherent skill. pepper jumped on the wagon, REALLY REALLY encouraged which i cant thank enough for, and….we’re here. its brewing. i had a very large interest in the titanic for a long time before this tbh, so being able to insert it into The Interest just JUMPSTARTED my brain and it still does to this day. now for the plot….

its 2020, a year after the apocalypse (no pandemic). anathema, newt, brian, crowley, and aziraphale have been assigned to plan adam’s 12th birthday party—they shenanigan, as you do. on the day of the party (adam’s birthday) anathema and newt find a chest in jasmine cottage’s attic full of titanic relics, including a pack of polaroid photos (handheld cameras did indeed exist in 1912, i checked !) which kinda might sort of have a photo of aziraphale and crowley!?!?! it was sent to them about six months before. but after the whole Second Volume fiasco, anathema just sort of wrote it off in that way and Hid It. but newt was curious, he found it, and god it was writtent his way wasnt it. (well, not by the nutter they were thinking of actually). anathema confronts them about itsoon after, and they all sit down to hear the story of the titanic in a sort of rose dawson beat. then its 1912—50ish years since the holy water incident and almost a century since the resurrectionists disaster. aziraphale has been assigned to take this trip to new york for Some Reason (we found out why later) and happened to invite crowley to come along to attempt to make amends after Allat (he really does feel bad, but he will NOT do the holy water thing yet </3) shit occurs, but history atlarge will not be rewritten. it does change their story, though. adding a sprinkle of interest in the device family line. agnes prophec(y)(ies), dancing on deck under the stars, playing cards with humans and winning by a Lot, aziraphale’s artistic skills are put to use at one point—ughghgufhits just so DEAR TO ME!!!!! and of course the conflict will come later, especially considering the religious connections to the titanic sinking—“not even God can sink this ship” type conversation 🥰 aziraphale can and will be made uncomfortable. its for the character development dont worry about it. i even have a playlist for this fic (it sorted by the way the tone shifts thru the story, some songs are silly but they had to stay). pep has also made some song covers to some of the songs that ive heavily connected to the fic and I REALLY FUCKING LIKED. LIKE A LOT. THEYRE AMAZING YOU SHOULD LISTEN IF YOU WANT TO!!!!

the point of all this is that i like titanic fics and im trying to throw my hat in the ring even if its just for me and my friend 🔥🔥 because while others have fed me, i havent seen ones that have documented like Every Single Day on the titanic that aziraphale and crowley would theoretically have as well as developing aziraphale and crowley’s relationship while taking into account whats happened before (insert the story into a part of the timeline seamlessly i think thats how i’d describe) AS WELL AS connecting the reason why the titanic was such a freak tragedy and how the world is not fucking fair instead of just “oh whoops the thing sank 😞” i want NITTY GRITTY DETAIL!!!!!! I WANT GUILT!!!!!!! I WANT CHAOS!!!!!!!! I WANT TALKING ABOUT GOD!!!!!!! I WANT AZIRAPHALE IN A MENTAL CRISIS!!!!! I WANT CROWLEY JUST WANTING TO FUCKING LIVE FUCKING PEACEFULLY!!!!!!! I WANT LESBIANS!!!!!! i need to get on this,,,, so much to do. i love it all and TY FOR THE ASK!!!!

any mutuals wanna join my pathfinder 2nd edition game soon?

i already have one mutual who was interested and my best friend, so there's two and i want a minimum of 4.

would be voiced, possibly using roll20 (i hate it but i havent looked into better free VTTs) although only for maps everything else is on paper, all over discord in a group chat.

schedule would be irregular, finding times that were all available to play whenever we want to rather than trying to find the miracle of a consistent schedule between 5 people. would shoot for minimum 1 hour, maximum 3.

there will be darker themes and gore/body horror.

im willing to teach the game to newbies, i dont know it too well myself, ive only been running it for a little under two years.

im hoping 2 make new friends through this as well if u want ^w^

dm me n ill get back to u not everyone who messages will get in

Here's the pitch:

You've committed a great crime in your homeland. As punishment, you have been sent to the island of Hendir. Hendir used to be a place with great many people, and powerful civilizations. But eventually, something happened and the island was split in two. Its people and its history was lost. The island was rediscovered centuries later, along with its dangers. It was the perfect place for a Penal Colony. Penal Colony #4, or as its few inhabitants call it, Gwaelod, is placed on the shores of the centre of the island, a relatively small and relatively safe circle of land that somehow was spared from whatever split the rest. Criminals have a diverse set of skills, and a few people survive in Gwaelod, those who have lost hope in escape. You just got here, you haven't yet lost hope. You must somehow get off the isolated island in the middle of tempestuous sea.

im also gonna queue this post to reblog a few times over the next week or so so sorry if ur seeing this for the whateverth time, if you dont wanna see it anymore i have supplied a unique tag code that you can add to your blocklist to avoid this specific post. :3

ADOR U!… nishimura riki ㅤ▷ cookie ㅤ“it's the grey area between friends and something more.”

SYNOPSIS. a silly dare led niki to attempt to be your silly boy

GENRE. fluff, crack, some angst

PAIRING. danceteamleader!niki x teammember!fem!reader ft. enhypen, newjeans

WARNINGS. unhinged and maybe its cringe since i explained the moves to the placement of their feet, im sorry-😭, jungwon says niki got no rizz(i dont think that's gonna happen anymore but we'll see), lowercase intended, tba

WORD COUNT. 1.7k

NOTE. this part was supposed to be longer but eh 1.7k is alright. oh and the updates wont be continuous anymore since i have skl👺

Reblogs and feedback are highly appreciated!

prev.:ㅤ.master.ㅤnext:.

now playing:ㅤcookieㅤ ılllı ㅤㅤ ㅤ newjeans 0:00 ─●──────── -0:00 ㅤ⇆ㅤ◁◁ ▐ ▌ ▷▷ㅤ ↻

ㅤㅤㅤ ☰ queue

“how are things between you and yn?” jungwon asked, taking interest in his friend's blank face, willing to distract him about the very thing he sat thinking over. “bittersweet,” niki replied, zoned out. “well, do you wanna talk about it? you can’t mope around the whole day,”

Niki lays back on the bench beneath the tree, the sunlight hitting his eyes. A hand over his eyes, he sighs, “i don’t know, me and yn got in but she didn’t audition with me,” “oh, you mean the day in the cafeteria,”

“yeah, i think we never really mentioned anywhere in the video's content that we weren’t a team, nor did she perform with minji’s team altogether,”

Jungwon draws his eyebrows closer, “yn didn’t perform with the others? no wonder she was considered to be a duo with you.” Niki hums, ruffling his dark locks, the solemn mood settled. His niki dings, a message from you greeting the lit display, “room 5, 5pm”

“have you both settled on a song?” sunoo asks, putting his book aside, seated on the grass, his back to the bench. Jungwon panned his head to the boy beside him and then to niki, “no,”

“all i wanna do, jay park,” jungwon beams, his eyes twinkling as he stares at niki with an anticipatory gaze. “respectfully, jay park,” he adds, snickering, making niki erupt into a fit of laughter, the expression of the idol playing in their minds.

Urging the lugging door open, niki is greeted to an empty room. Frowning to your absence. Nevertheless, he connects his phone to the bluetooth speaker and begins warming up. Minutes passed by, and the closed space still lacked your presence. He pockets up his phone, dialing your number to no avail. His eyes dance around the room, finding your hoodie on the floorboard in the corner. Obtaining the material in his clutch, he decides to leave in a search for you.

Out the door you stood, hand loosely hung around the handle with little to no pressure applied in an attempt to swing open the door. On the other side, niki grasped the handle and flung it open, sending you forward along with the door, crashing into him and tumbling to the ground.

You land on your knees while niki took the hit with his tailbone, clutching his orbs in a tight wince. “are you alright?” you query, shifting to your feet, and lending your hand to the fallen boy.

He waves you off, slowly rising to his soles, hand aiding his lower back. Maneuvering to the table by the wall, he slants his body to it. “do you have any songs in mind,” he questions, dragging his back down the support, sitting with his legs crossed.

“not really,”

The boy shows you a smile, “i have one in mind,”

With a few days left, you huff, collapsing, fixing your eyes on niki who continued practicing. The way he moved his arms and legs with mesmerizing coordination, his face exhibiting no set expression but concentration.

You found yourself absorbed in the way he moved his body, in awe with the way he understood every nook and cranny of the routine. Your lost gaze on him caught his notice, his eyes settling on you through the mirror.

Neither of you dared to bring up the past conception, leaving it awkwardly hung in the air, focusing on getting enough practice for the final round. Your mind wandered as you gaped at the boy, admiring him from right up close.

Accounting your daze, he turns to you, tilting his head in confusion. He calls out your name but you missed it in your trance, zoning out on where he previously statured. He strolls to you, albeit your awareness, crouching and whispering your name in the shell of your ear.

Maybe it was the first time he’d seen you up close and personal, but he found himself lingering near you longer. Your surprised gasp when you snapped out of your daze and found niki in front of you a small peep away, you were given the scare of your life.

Unintentionally you shove his shoulders, scooting further from him. Your shove results in him landing on his palms, laughing. He gets to his feet, trais up to you, and kneels with his gummy smile present.

To you, he looked adorable and he noted your grin, “stop gawking, it’s obvious,” he mocks, bringing his palm to your cheek, cupping your face, and holding you closer. Without context, it would have seemed like he was about to veer towards and peck your lips.

Your laugh subsides and the light tension trickles to something mellow, your eyes being stared into by your coined minor inconvenience. The title was presently threatened to change to a major inconvenience, your heart pounding as he continued to search in depths of your orbs.

The shift in the air brought niki to blink himself back to reality, inching to you with a puff of breath greeting your face with his gaze locked on you, “shall we get back to practice,” His words rolled off his tongue and made their way to you, much to disappointment that he didn’t lean in—

Ok this was bad. Niki hadn’t only threatened to become a major inconvenience, he claimed the title and your heart for a grave amount of time before you snatched it from him in your imaginary play.

After your little freak out or more so ‘ohmygodisheabouttokissme’ moment, you regained your composure and your unwavering will to make him flustered in return, you know, pay back the favor. You meant it in all good fun, is what you told yourself but, of course, that wasn’t the whole picture.

Hanni entered the room in search of her lost keychain and obliged to watch your performance. She pulled up the file, playing the music and filling the room with its rhythmic beats.

Fumbling into position you begin with the hook, niki gracing the center with his presence and you follow along not long after, giving him a light push on his shoulder. You execute the jump and swipe your hand away, popping your head on command of your arm, creating an image of stairs with your hands topping each other, in sync with niki from the hours of practice you both spent, cooped up in the mirrored room.

The chorus progresses and you slide to niki, making eye contact and grin at him. His immediate response was to copy your smile and vibe in the gap of moves. You turn with arms open and point to your reflection, and bump into niki in the process.

Hanni beamed at you two as the verse continued and jay park took the backseat for a while. Niki trudged to you in accordance with the beats, your back facing him. Now came the difficult part for niki, to maintain eye contact with you in close proximity got both of you nervous, even during practice. This time it'd be different, though.

Hanni smiled upon noting his hesitation. You weren't one to lose, and you sure were on the track to making niki one flustered mess, placing your hand on his shoulder and flicking your head up to him, musing a smirk. It was most definitely much closer than before and hanni chuckled a bit with a cough.

Your gaze contained a hint of mischievousness and the boy was officially caught off guard. You put a hand to the nape of his neck, standing straight while your hand made it up his cheek, giving a small smack, causing niki to tilt his head away from you and prepare for the second chorus with a light jump.

The door panned open and minji peered through, watching as you both swayed through the routine, coming to a close and struck a pose with your finger on niki’s chin making him face the audience with a pout.

Hanni clapped and cheered while minji remained at the door with no readable expression. “that was great, and yn, you don’t really seem all that nervous anymore,”

You reply with a small thank you, “it's all because i rivaled her into being confident,” niki said with triumph and you scowled, “yeah and you were the one who got nervous this time,” you fire back, raising brows at him, having reached your goal on flustering him.

“one suggestion but could you both stand closer, there's distance between you both in the first verse,” hanni suggests, and you nod, whipping back to niki with a knowing look.

Minji ambles her way into the room with a smile, “could i talk to you for a moment,” she inquires, motioning to you. You comply and leave the space with hanni and minji, leaving niki in the room by himself. You stroll down the hallway in the hours of late afternoon, slow breeze fanning your sweat ridden self.

You reach the vending machine and lean on the wall for support as minji whisks two cans of soda, hanni having continued down the hall after letting minji know she’d be going home for the day.

She hands you a can, slanting on the wall herself, before managing to begin, “i wanted to apologize, i shouldn’t have taken it out on you that day,” she pauses, popping the can of soda open, “i was just saddened that we didn’t get in and the confusion caused, i am truly happy you were selected along with niki, your little minor inconvenience.”

“major inconvenience,” you correct with a giggle, minij well-knowing that you’d approved of her apology.

“he moved up the ranks?!” minji gasps, “how so?

“i’d say he moreover claimed the title himself by being a menace to my hearts wellbeing,” you reply, sipping on the canned soda, earning yourself a nudge from

minji, “looks like someone has decided on an answer,” “more or less,”

“and when do you plan on spilling the beans to him” "it's like the grey area between friends and something more. Though i do plan on telling him 2 days from now, after our performance at the competition,” She gives you the eyes, ogling, “after you claim the first place, i see,” minji teases, in seriousness. All while you were unknown to the fact that he’d asked out on part of completing his silly dare, yet here you were, on the verge of letting him be your silly boy.
