Nini Salazar-Roberts x G!P reader
You and Nini were Best friends since birth, your parents got along pretty well too since you guys are next door neighbors.All throughout your life you watched Nini get heartbroken by diffrent guys. It broke your heart to see her cry over breakups.If you were honest you loved Nini more than a friend should. But I mean how could you not? She is the most talented, beautiful, smart girl in the universe. But you feared that If you told her all that you'd ruin your friendship,and you didn't want that,so instead of telling her you kept quiet.It hurt, but it was better having her at least as a friend than as nothing. "Hey, you okay?" said Nini "Yeah, just lost in my thoughts" I replyed " what are you thinking about?" "Nothing important" "Come on you can tell me." You sigh "Just anxius about the math exam on monday" " Y/N, don't like to me"
"I- you might wanna sit down for this" " Come on it can't be that bad" "Just sit down" "Fine, now tell me" "well I-I'm in love with this girl..." She laughs. "That's it?" "Well i'm just scared" "Well who is this girl?" "Can't tell you that" "Why not?" I don't know maybe 'cause i'm talking about you?! "I don't know".
*Time skip to a few days later*
You're currently watching Nini and the others rehearse for high school musical the musical with miss.Jenn.The woman might be a little wierd ,but it's amazing how she got all these people to work so well together on something so big.I was so caught up in admiring Nini that I didn't notice Kourtney sit beside me." When are you gonna tell her how you feel?" "Shit, you scared me!" Sorry, but are you gonna answer my question?" "I don't know when or how i'm going to tell her that, Kourtney." "I'm just so scared, I mean I didn't even tell her about my condition and I knew her my whole life" " Girl, Come on now you NEED to talk to her" " I know ,but I just don't know how" "I'll tell you what , ask her to come over to yours after rehearsal and sit down and tell her how you feel , also I think it's Time to tell her about your condition too" you look away from her gaze "You're right I do need to do that." "See,well I have to go now , but please don't chicken out when you're going to tell her" "I promise I won't" She smiles " bye" "bye".
*Time skip*
You just invited Nini over to tell her your feelings and maybe your condition.You were really nervous.There was a knock on the door so you opened it and to no ones surprise it is Nini. You greet eachother and she pulls you in a hug."So what did you wanna talk about?" She asks "lets go to my room and I'll tell you" "so, are you going to tell me?" "Yeah, uhm, so I wanted to tell you that the girl I told you I was in love with is... you" she doesn't say anything and you start to feel really nervous so you ask "aren't you gonna say something?" She still doesn't say anything, when you're about to talk she interrupts you by getting closer to you and saying "I'm in love with you too...but why didn't you tell me sooner?" she whispers " 'cause I was afraid I'd loose you" you whisper back. Your faces now inches apart.Then she grabs you by your shirt and kisses you.You Kiss her back and it gets slightly heated,she gets on top of you so that she's sitting on your lap. Then you pull back "Wait! I still have one more thing I want to tell you" "That you have a dick?Yeah I can feel it" You blush deeply. She laughs and kisses you once again.

Hi! It's Olive (again), I was wondering if I could get an HSMTMTS matchup?
Appearance:
I'm 5'4, white, brunette with brown eyes. My style is a mix of dark and light academia.

My personality type is ISTP-T, Slytherin. I'm pretty loud around people once I get to know them but most people see me as a quiet person if they don't know me well. I'm really opinionated and sometimes a little obsessive. But I'm a really loyal and trustworthy person. My love languages are quality time and physical touch. I'm also bi.
Flaws:
I tend to overthink and procrastinate, I worry a lot about making a good first impression.
Likes, Dislikes, and Hobbies:
I love reading, writing, sewing, and listening to music. I also love horror movies. I don't like dishonest people and loud environments. Some of my hobbies are singing, ballet, and acting.
Hi there, Olive! I really hope you like this a lot!

Your HSMTMTS soulmate is...
NINI SALAZAR-ROBERTS!

She would help you with your overthinking tendencies by baking you some cookies to help you relax yourself after a long period of overthinking for you.
The two of you would be dancing to the music and also singing along to the songs that the two of you would love to do listen to on the radio.
Nini would definitely give you the best hugs in the world when you need some comforting after a long day of stress and people-pleasing with new people.
ESFJ x ISTP lovebirds!
Ravenclaw x Slytherin soulmates!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He’s breathing in. Breathing out. In and out. A steady rhythm. One you shouldn’t disturb. Ricky looked peaceful. He looked happier than ever before. Y/n watched him. She sat up in bed, the moon shining down on them. She would like for him to feel this calm when he was with her. But he never did. He always looked at her that way. With that calmness and ease of love. Full pure love.
It was a surprise to anyone at East high when they made it official. Y/n was a grade under Ricky. Nini just broke up with EJ. Y/n heard rumors; that Ricky only made it official to make Nini jealous. It was a hit in the chest when she noticed it as well. The looks he gave her. The little smile that spread over his face whenever Nini walked into the room. He only looked at her like that when Nini and EJ were still dating. It was all easier back then. She wished she could back to that time.
“What are you thinking about?” Ricky asked her, as he read through his script. The sun was up, Y/n still sat in the exact same position.
If they were so close back then, why couldn’t they in the future as well?
“Nothing,” she answered quietly.
They were at Y/n’s house. Pictures were hanging on the wall. One of them hung there as well. She wanted to gift it to Ricky, but he said he had no space for it. His walls were blank, unless you count the pictures Nini painted for him in kindergarten, or first grade. Or even before summer. He still had them hung up. Y/n used her best colors for it. The expensive ones she got for her birthday a year ago. She was too afraid to use them and not like the picture of it in the end. But she did. She loved it. She loved him. But did he even love her truly?
Y/n stood up. She walked over to Ricky, wrapping her arms around his chest and kissing his shoulder. The boy shrugged her off.
“I have to go to rehearsal.” It was Sunday. She may wasn’t the smartest, but she definitely wasn’t dumb.
“You have rehearsal today?” She asked, her voice sounding suspicious. “But it’s Sunday. You never have rehearsal on Sundays.”
“I - uh. I do, today. Miss Jenn called us all in, because of some problem,” He explained. His eyes moved around the ceiling. He was searching for some explanation. “You probably didn’t notice my phone go off, since you were zoned out over something you won’t tell me.”
“I told you it was nothing,” She argued with him. He would think she was crazy if she told him about what anyone else said. He always did call her crazy when she even mentioned it just in the slightest.
“Whatever,” Ricky scoffed, pressing a fleeting kiss on her cheek. Then he disappeared out of her bedroom. Out of her home.
Y/n waited for the door to shut downstairs until she called Gina. She was the first to tell her about the rumors, the stares, the smiles. She was who comforted her when she was crying now. He didn’t. Not like he used to.
“Gina?” She asked, not letting her friend speak and greet her. “Do you have rehearsal today?”
“Uh, no.” Y/n could already feel Gina rolling her eyes. She knew who it was about.
“OK. Thanks.” Y/n didn’t want to hear her friend lecture her today.
Will you come back to mine after rehearsal?
Ricky didn’t read the message until 2 hours later. He was sat up in Big Red’s room. He would have to go now if he didn’t want to upset her.
“I have to go, Red,” Ricky told his friend, whose face was basically attached to the screen in front of him.
Rehearsal wouldn’t end until an hour later. But he had to do something before dropping by at Y/n’s house.
The door in front of him now seemed bigger than it ever did before. Even when he was a little boy it never seemed so intimidating. The bell was shrill. If he had a more sensitive hearing he would have to cover his ears at the sound. Nini opened the door. She was looking beautiful like always.
“Hey,” The boy smiled at the girl in front of him.
“Hi,” Nini said back, confusion lingered on her face.
“I- uh. I wanted to talk to you real quick.” Ricky fiddled with his fingers. He didn’t know why he was so nervous.
“Sure, what’s up?”
“It just felt right to confess,” Ricky said slowly and quiet. “I never joined the musical because I wanted to. I always just wanted you. And since you’ve broken up with EJ now, I guess I just wanted to ask if we wanted to try again?”
Nini looked at him with wide eyes. “You have a girlfriend if I have to remind you, Richard Bowen.”
“But I don’t love her like I love you.”
“Then tell her that.”
The next second the door was closed in his face. Nini didn’t love him anymore. He didn’t love Y/n. But he guessed he had to tolerate it if he wanted to seem okay.

Ashes - Chapter 2
Series Masterlist
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Ladies and gentleman, just a reminder that the auditions for the musical will begin in the auditorium in five minutes," The words ring from the intercom.
Nini fixes her gaze on her sister excitedly.
(Y/n)'s gaze sparkles warmly. "Let's go!" (Y/n) says and Nini bounces excitedly.
. . .
"People! Make sure your audition number is clearly visible on your clothes!" Carlos yells over the bustle of the room. "This isn't a game."
(Y/n) chuckles, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
Nini and (Y/n) were sitting on opposite sides of the room - their usual audition ritual. Nini is accompanied by EJ and Kourtney.
(Y/n) leans over her guitar, her fingers gently plucking a soft tune - her usual audition ritual - her eyes closed as her nose points down towards the guitar.
There is a knocking on the doorframe of the room, and there is a ringing silence.
"Okay, theatre people," Miss Jenn, who had walked into the room, claps her hands. "Let's do this."
Then her eyes fall on (Y/n), whose guitar is still sitting in her lap.
"Bring the guitar," Miss Jenn says, then she leaves, (Y/n) blinking in surprise.
(Y/n) puts a strap on her guitar, and she follows her twin out of the room, her guitar resting on her back.
. . .
Miss Jenn stops beside (Y/n), who is sitting offstage, tuning her guitar.
"How long have you been playing guitar?" Miss Jenn asks, and (Y/n) blinks, looking surprised.
"About nine to ten years," (Y/n) replies.
"Well, good luck," Miss Jenn tells her.
(Y/n) watches Miss Jenn with a slightly confused look on her face, but as she goes to focus back on guitar, she catches the eye of a very pretty redhead who is standing in a line to do her audition readings.
The redhead is dressed in a pink sweatshirt with the same shade of pink sweatpants, and her hair is pulled back.
The redhead smiles at (Y/n), her eyes crinkling cutely.
All the breath leaves (Y/n)'s chest and she sits stunned for a moment before she shakes herself.
(Y/n) looks up again when she sees Miss Jenn stop in front of the redhead.
"You," Miss Jenn studies the redhead closely. "You're giving me uncommon depth. Ms. Darbus?" Miss Jenn offers.
"I'm dying. I'm deceased. Yes." the girl says and (Y/n) giggles uncharastically.
"Oh, your application says you play piano?" Miss Jenn asks.
"I dabble," the girl replies.
"You ever written a song?" Miss Jenn asks.
"I mean, nothing I've ever shared with anyone," the girl admits.
"I always thought the drama teacher should have an Act Two power ballad," Miss Jenn smiles at the girl.
(Y/n) continues to watch as Miss Jenn reaches Nini. "And how about we have you read for Kelsi?" Miss Jenn asks.
(Y/n) sets down her guitar and goes to stand next to the last boy in line.
Nini pauses, and she glances down at her twin. (Y/n) nods her encouragement.
"Gabriella," Nini corrects. "I wanna audition for Gabriella."
"Okay," Miss Jenn smiles at Nini. She moves on to the boy in between (Y/n) and Nini. "You're reading for Ryan, right?" she asks.
(Y/n) can sense the boy's discomfort, and Carlos pipes up, "I think he'd rather play Sharpay."
Miss Jenn looks back at the blonde haired boy, and he grins. "I love that. That is so fresh."
Miss Jenn takes one more step to stand in front of (Y/n). Glancing back at Nini, Miss Jenn can see the similarities between the two girls.
Studying (Y/n) closely, Miss Jenn glances down at her clipboard.
. . .
"Okay, the last of the Troys," Miss Jenn says as EJ walks onto stage with a basketball clutched in his hands. "And he comes with props." EJ fake throws the ball, and catches it again, chuckling. "Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn tells EJ. "Okay," her voice softens, "what do I need to know?" she asks Carlos, who is sitting beside her.
"EJ Caswell," Carlos begins. "Most Instagram followers. Co-Captain of the Water Polo team. Senior class treasurer. Wakes up looking like that. Doesn't know I exist."
"I hope he can carry a tune," Miss Jenn says.
As EJ sings his piece, Nini smiles, her eyes softening with affection.
"Well, excuse me, Armie Hammer just called," Miss Jenn says and (Y/n)'s eyebrows raise. "He wants his jawline back." (Y/n) chuckles and EJ looks confused, glancing over at Nini and (Y/n), who were standing next to each other. "We're moving on to the Gabriellas," Miss Jenn goes on as EJ walks over to the wings.
The girl - Gina Porter, who had the fancy dance moves in the warm up - sings her piece with a steady voice.
"She's good," Nini murmurs in (Y/n)'s ear, sounding worried.
"We're going together," (Y/n) replies. "You're leading. You'll do amazing."
EJ comes to stand beside Nini and Nini turns to her boyfriend. "Okay, I could really use some last-minute tips. Like, now."
(Y/n) steps slightly away so they could talk.
"And that's why I love you," (Y/n) can hear EJ say, and Nini freezes.
. . .
(Y/n) is walking up to her bedroom but she freezes at her door as Ricky rushes past.
"Ricky?" (Y/n) asks but Ricky doesn't answer, his head bowed.
(Y/n) messes with her doorknob before she moves to Nini's room where her twin was hugging a pillow to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Nin?" (Y/n) asks, moving over to her sister's bed.
Sitting down, Nini collapses into her sister's arms, sobbing against her shoulder.
. . .
"You ready?" (Y/n) asks her sister.
"Any intel on these two?" Miss Jenn asks as the two sisters walk out into the center of the stage.
"Nini Salazar-Roberts," Carlos says, nodding to Nini. "Harmless chorus girl. Usually plays farm animals and trees. (Y/n) Salazar-Roberts," Carlos goes on, gesturing to (Y/n). "Orchestra girl. Plays cello, guitar, viola, and piano. Co-Captain of the cross-country team."
"Okay, Nini, (Y/n)! Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn says louder so the twins can hear.
Nini goes to start, but there are heavy footsteps approaching somewhere, and (Y/n) and Nini pause.
The door at the back of the auditorium slams open and (Y/n) scowls as she hears Ricky yell, "Am I too late? Am I too late?"
The redhead, whose eye (Y/n) had caught earlier, watches (Y/n) as she turns, facing her twin, murmuring something that the others can't hear. The redhead can see Nini relax a little, however.
"We're all set on Troys," Miss Jenn tells Ricky as he jumps up the stairs. "We're low on Chads. You can read after the Gabriellas."
"I-I only studied the Troy scenes in the movie," Ricky stutters and EJ rolls his eyes.
"Troy would have arrived on time," Carlos replies, looking annoyed.
"I hope that was ironic," (Y/n) comments and the others laugh.
Miss Jenn turns away from Ricky and back towards (Y/n) and Nini, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, (Y/n)'s feet spread slightly, as though grounding herself.
"Whoo!" EJ yells, cheering his girlfriend on.
Miss Jenn starts, her coffee spilling on the light board.
Electricity crackles and the lights flicker off, leaving the others sitting in darkness.
"Nobody panic!" Miss Jenn calls after a moment, trying to mop up her spilled coffee with a few sheets of paper. "Girls, let's wait for the lights to come back on," she goes on. "I don't want this to throw you."
(Y/n) takes a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Nini.
"We're not thrown," Nini says, furrowing her eyebrows.
(Y/n) and Nini begin the song, and both Ricky and EJ jump up, flicking on their phone lights and shining them in (Y/n) and Nini's eyes.
. . .
Watching the twins sing, the redhead notices how well their voice complement each other's, Nini's higher voice easily matching up with (Y/n)'s lower voice.
Just as the two finish, the lights flicker back on.
(Y/n) glances at Nini. "Funny how that happens."
Nini regards her twin with amusement, while the others on the stage laugh.
Miss Jenn considers the two in front of her for a moment, Ricky and EJ turning off their phone flashlights.
"Good job you two," Miss Jenn says, looking impressed.
(Y/n) grins at her sister and the two walk over, sitting down.
Nini had plopped herself beside EJ, leaving (Y/n) to sit in between her and the pretty redhead that had caught her eye earlier.
"You, late boy," Miss Jenn calls back to Ricky. "Let's do the Chad sides."
(Y/n) throws a protective arm around Nini's shoulders as Ricky walks to the middle of the stage.

Nini knocked on your door again, hoping that this time you would finally answer. It’s been days since she’d last seen you. You hadn’t been going to school, and you were ignoring every single call and text she sent to you. At first she had wanted to give you your space, but enough was enough. She was beginning to get worried. You couldn’t just cut her out without at least telling her why.
“Go away,” came your muffled voice from the other side of the door.
Nini let out a sigh of relief. It had been days since she’d heard your voice. And even though those were words she didn’t want to hear, she was glad just to be hearing anything from you at all.
“No. I-I’m not leaving y/n. You’ve been avoiding me all week. I miss you. Please talk to me. What did I do wrong?” she said the last part in a whisper, still scared that you were mad at her for something she did. Something she didn’t even know about.
Suddenly your door opened. And there you stood, all red faced and puffy eyed. Nini immediately pulled you into a hug, but you didn’t return it. You just stood there and waited for her to get off of you.
“I saw you,” you said softly.
“What?”
“With Ricky? After auditions. I saw you. That’s why I’ve been avoiding you.”
Nini’s eyes widened as she finally realized why you were mad at her. You saw what had happened between her and Ricky. Of course you didn’t have the whole story, and yes from an outsider's perspective it did look incredibly incriminating. But at least she finally knew why.
“What you think you saw, isn’t what happened. Ricky wasn’t leaving me alone, he was always texting and calling. Trying to get back together. And he wanted to meet with me after auditions to talk things over. I agreed, but only so I could make it clear to him that we were over. I don’t love him anymore y/n, I love you. I told him that, and I told him that we weren’t going to be together anymore, and he seemed to be okay with that. But when I tried to leave he pulled me towards him and kissed me. I pushed him off of me right after, I promise. I didn’t want to kiss him, believe me. I don’t want him. I want you. I will only ever want you.”
You smiled softly at her, new tears began to form in your eyes. Nini noticed them and immediately reached up to wipe them away.
“Hey, why are you crying?”
“I’m sorry, I’ve been such a jerk. I should’ve trusted you. I should’ve just talked to you about it. But I pushed you and everyone else away. I’m sorry.”
It was silent for a moment before you added, “I also have a lot of makeup work to do now.”
You both laughed softly at that.
“It’s okay y/n, I probably would’ve done the same. I’m just glad things are okay now. I really missed you.”
“I missed you too,” you replied as you pulled Nini into a hug.
“So, you love me?”
Nini’s face lit up in a blush at your words as she smiled at you.
“Yeah, I do. I know it’s not as grand as a whole big song for it, but being away from you for so long made me realize just how much I need you.”
“I know what you mean. And, I love you too.”

nini salazar x fem!reader summary: nini and y/n's love story told through polaroids warnings: implications of sex request: hi! can I request prompt 28 and 29 from the August prompts with Nini? Like a childhood friends to lovers from anon notes: prompt 28. polaroids | prompt 29. childhood friends | august prompts
posted august 11th, 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the first photo of the two girls was from before they were even born. it pictured two pregnant women as they stood next to one another with a smile both holding a sign saying “it’s a girl!” in glittery pink text. the photo was dated october 2002.
“okay, are you guys ready?” dana asked putting the glass of sparkling cider down turning to y/n’s mother, who nodded.
the two women are handed signs that are covered with a sheet of paper to obscure the writing on it. the women and their spouses begin their countdown from five before tearing the paper off, facing each other they both gasp and scream, “it’s a girl!” the announcement causes them to scream in excitement as they look down at their own signs before dropping them and hugging (to the best of their ability, the swollen stomachs getting in the way).
“okay, okay, now pictures for the albums!” carol shouts over the excitement, the two women nod picking up their signs and smiling as the flash of the polaroid camera goes off twice, a picture taken by the respective spouses.
“a toast! to our girls, may they be friends forever!” y/n’s mother called, earning a few ‘hear hear’s from the rest of the group.
the oldest photo of the two girls after they were born is one of them as babies soon after they were born, y/n in early february, nini later that same month. they were wearing matching dresses with matching headbands that had a pink flower on the side. the two were both sleeping peacefully next to each other. the photo was dated march 2003.
carol had seen the dresses during one of her grocery runs, dana at home with nini, still recovering from the birth. she knew how cute it would be for her and y/n to be matching and what a perfect addition it would be for the photo albums. After finishing her shopping trip and getting back home where nini was sleeping peacefully in dana’s arms, y/n in her mom’s who was sitting next to dana on the couch. After unloading all of the food, carol came into the living room, arms behind her back, “i found something.” after gaining the attention of the two women, she revealed what was hidden behind her back and the two girl awed at the sight, “i thought we could dress them up for the album.”
the next picture is of their first day in school, pre-k. backpacks on and toothy grins as the girls leaned together to fit into the camera’s frame, arms around each other. the photo was labeled september 2008
“okay, girls! picture time!” y/n’s mother clapped.
the two girls, jumping with excitement, managed to find it in them to stand still for just long enough , nini’s arm around y/n’s as they leaned together, for their respective mothers to both take pictures of them, the flash of the camera making the girls giggle. “now let’s get you guys to school!” dana clapped her hands together.
the two girls lived right next door to one another and spent most of their time together at each other’s house. playing with various toys or watching cartoons together. there’s even a picture of them taken from behind the couch they both sat on, the tops of their heads barely visible as spongebob played on the tv in-front of them. the next picture was taken soon after the previous m, the two girls asleep nini’s head on y/n’s shoulder and her head on top of nini’s. both photos were dated december 2008.
the two girls were watching cartoons one evening after school, waiting for dinner to be done as their parents cooked in the room behind them. y/n’s father went to check on them, carol following behind to get something from another room when she saw the girls engrossed on the screen in front of them. “tell them to get a picture.” she said nudging y/n’s fathers arm as he reentered the kitchen to tell them. the two women were on it, instructing him to watch the food, they both flashed their cameras quietly so as to not disturb them. after dinner was cooked and eaten the girls were back in front of the television watching spongebob once again, this time falling asleep quickly. their soft snores soon alerted the parents and soon two more photos were snapped.
the girls had a full album their parents a given them of all their childhood memories together. photos of them together and even a few with their newest friend ricky, who they met on their first day of kindergarten. now in highschool their girls were both gifted their own polaroid cameras so they could add to their own albums. they both soon added group photos with all their friends. they both had the same picture which had nini, y/n standing together along with ricky, ashlyn, ej, big red, carlos, seb, kourtney, gina, and miss jenn. which was labeled spring musical, may 2020. they took several copies of that picture so everyone in it could have one (which took forever).
the amount of photos they took once they started dating grew tremendously, one of them in matching outfits for senior prom. them in their fork costumes for beauty and the beast. a picture of nini driving that y/n snapped from the passenger seat. a picture of y/n doing homework, unaware of the camera on her (and one taken immediately after that of y/n reaching for nini’s camera with a grin on her face), a picture they asked a stranger too take where they stood outside a 7/11 slushies in hand, holding each other closely.
there was one picture that was only for them though, it had it’s own special place for each of the two girls. y/n had hers stuck to her mirror so she could see it each day when she got ready and nini had hers stuck to the first page of her songwriting book to look back on if she needed a little bit of inspiration.
the picture was of the two girls, y/n’s arm lifted as she held the camera to snap the photo. the two girls frozen as they kissed, nini’s hand holding y/n’s jaw, her other resting on her neck and y/n’s free hand tangled in nini’s hair. the photo was labeled y/n and nini april 2020.
“i have a picture idea!” y/n announced rolling over to laying on nini who was sitting up against her headboard on her phone. nini hummed and looked at her to continue. y/n smiled and without explaining, camera already in hand, sat up and grabbed nini kissing her softly, deepening it slightly. nini sighed into the kiss her hands moving to rest on y/n’s chin, the other falling to her neck. y/n tangled her hand in her hair before remembering why she was kissing nini and snapping the picture the sound and flash casing nini to jump away.
“oh i see how it is.” nini laughed, “you better be taking another one!”
“of course i am, come here!” she pulled nini into another kiss, the pair copying their positions as best as they could, y/n snapping another photo before dropping both the camera and developing photo onto the bed as she pushed nini into the pillows as the girl below giggled into the kiss.
they had some other photos that lay hidden in a shoe box under nini’s bed along with other mementos of their relationship. one of y/n curled up alseep on nini, nini’s arm stretched out holding the camera the other holding y/n tightly. one of nini took with her on y/n’s lap as she laid down, wearing only a bra, her face covered in embarrassment (one of nini’s favorites.)
nini sat up breathless to look at her handiwork, a purple splotch now forming on y/n’s collarbone. y/n sat up to pull nini into another kiss, nini’s arm holding her up next to y/n’s as the she deepened the kiss, not even having to fight y/n for dominance. she sat up again to catch her breath, she had her hand on y/n’s stomach to push her back while she took deep breaths. “god, you’re so hot.” nini laughed, before leaning over the girl below her and grabbing her camera.
“no! no pictures.”’ y/n groaned, throwing her arms over her face. nini laughed and took a picture anyways, the flash going off in the dim room, the only light available coming from a lamp on her bedside table.
nini waited for the picture to develop before looking at it smiling, “see, you look beautiful. fucking perfect. i love you.”
y/n blushed, “shut up.” before taking the camera and picture from her and setting them down, before pulling her back into another heated kiss.

nini salazar-roberts x reader
requested: i would really like to read something for Marley or for Nini honestly don't have an exact idea yet but maybe for either of them something where the reader ends up helping them get over their ex or something like that
a/n: this is for an awesome supporter of mine @x--mccrew--x​ , i hope you enjoy and thank you so much for all of the support
Tumblr media
*not my gif*
“Soooo...who’re you texting?” you ask.
You and your best friend Nini were lying on your bed. Her head laid on your stomach as you just lied there together in a comfortable silence. But Nini was smiling at her phone constantly texting someone. 
She smiled sheepishly, “Ricky. He really makes me happy.” 
You couldn’t help, but feel happy for your best friend. Her and Ricky have been pining after each other for as long as she could remember. But you’re happy with how this turned out. 
Unfortunately, your happiness turned into despair and anger when Ricky broke up with Nine on their one year anniversary. 
She ran to your house in a puddle of tears unsure of who to talk to or where to go. But you accepted her with open arms and a bunch of love.
“I told him I loved him and he left saying we need to take a break.” she sobs into you shirt. 
You held her close swaying her from side to side. In a sort of dancing way. You always watched when you were younger as her moms would sway her whenever she was upset. So you did it, in hopes that she would start feeling a little better.
“I’m sorry Nini. Let it all out, okay? It’s gonna be okay.” you whisper softly. 
Nini stayed at your house for the rest of the summer. You called her moms to update them and let them know you’re taking care of her the best you can. 
Your parents didn’t mind that Nini stayed for as long as she did. They adored her and thought that she was the best kid ever. 
You would bring up her dinner and play her favorite movies over and over again until it got embedded in your brain. Just so you can hear that beautiful laugh of hers and see the small smile that grazed over her face. 
The first couple of weeks were rough. You could barely get a smile out of her, but the more and more time went by she started to become the Nini you knew and love.
Not that you didn’t love her any less when she was sad. You always loved her for as long as you could remember.
“Thank you for letting me stay here the past month. I know that it was probably annoying taking care of me all the time.” Nini says as she takes a slice of the pizza you guys ordered.
You finished eating the bite you just put in your mouth before shaking your head, “No need to apologize. I don’t mind, I love having you around.”
She smiles sheepishly, “I just don’t want to go to school tomorrow and see him. I don’t think I’m ready for that.” 
“Well, I’m gonna be here for you every step of the way.” you say placing your hand on hers. 
“You’re too good to me.” she whispers, squeezing your hand back.
The Next Day At School
The two of you found yourself at her locker. You wanted to wait for her so she didn’t have to walk to class alone. Kourtney met up with both of you as you just talked about the past month.
“Feminism is all the rage now a days, we need to stand up for ourselves!” Kourtney says as we start walking to class.
Only to be met with the brown-eyed messy hair boy and his best friend, “Hey Big Red.” I say giving him a high five, “Ricky.” I add on with a stern nod.
“Woah scary Y/N.” Ricky mumbled, scratching the back of his neck.
“Nini, can we talk?” he asks, “Look I’m sorry, can we just start fresh?”
You three girls look at him incredulously, “Start fresh? Ricky I wrote you a song for our one year anniversary! I told you I loved you! And you walked out asking for a break! You wanted a break, right? Well it’s a break up.”
“Nini no!” Ricky exclaims, “We’re perfect for each other and I didn’t mean to just give me a chance to explain.”
Nini was taken aback and she didn’t know what else to say. She was frozen.
“Ricky,” you say stepping towards the brunette, “I think you’ve done enough. You’ve hurt her in more ways than you know. So take a step back and take a breather.”
He scoffed before storming off. Big Red gave an apologetic look before running after him.
“Are you okay?” you ask, rubbing your hands on her arms.
She nods softly, “I’ll be okay. Thank you.”
The rest of the month the two of you found yourselves growing closer and closer. Even though you were best friends when you were younger you got closer in a different way.
With convincing by Nini, you joined the school musical. You just helped out Big Red with the sound and tech stuff, but helping out no doubt. While Ricky stepped in and played Troy.
But all the time you and Nini spent together caused you to have a flutter in your stomach every time you see her. Wanting to kiss her every time she was near you. Or wanting to hold her hand when she hands you a simple piece of paper.
You kept all these feelings down. Nini was still pining after Ricky. And with him playing Troy and her playing Gabriella wit was bound to happen. Or so you thought.
“Kourt? I can’t just tell her! It could ruin everything!” Nini exclaims, dropping down on her dressing room chair.
“Neens...it won’t! Have you seen the way she looks at you? She looks at her like your entire world!” Kourtney tries to convince the brunette.
But that still wasn’t enough for Nini to grow the courage.
It was opening night and the two of you were in the dressing rooms, along with the rest of your new found family.
You stood behind her dressing room chair and squeezed both of her shoulders, “You okay?”
“Yes just a little jitters.” she replies, putting both of her hands on top of yours.
“Well I believe in you. If anyone can go out there and crush this. It’s you.” you respond.
She smiles at you, the two of you looking at each other through her mirror. The glances shared between you spilling all the words that are left unsaid.
“Nini? Can we talk?” Ricky asks, snapping the both of you out of your trance.
Nini clears her throat, “Uh yeah.” she says looking at him, “I’ll see you after the show?”
You nod forcing a smile, “Break a leg.”
The show goes off and finishes, there were a few bumps, but you were all still proud of how it turned out.
Most of the time though you were in more awe of Nini. The way she sang and the way she acted. It was mesmerizing.
Everyone ran backstage after the curtain ended. Adrenaline coursing through everyone’s bodies. You told everyone you ran into a ‘nice job!’, desperately trying to find Nini.
When you finally found her she was down the hall talking to Kourtney, “Nini!” you yelled.
Her eyes lit up and she bolted towards you. You had your arms wide open as she ran into you with full force. She wrapped her legs around your waist as you almost fell back at the impact.
“You were so good Neen!” you yell, squeezing her tightly.
“Thank you!” she says as you finally put her down onto the ground.
Yet your arms were still wrapped around each other. You didn’t realize how close your guys faces were until that very moment. The moment your heart skipped a beat.
The two of you continued to steal glances between each other’s eyes and lips. Neither of you knew what to do.
“JUST KISS ALREADY!!” many voices rang out through the hall.
You looked around to see Big Red, Kourtney, Gina, EJ, Ashlyn, Seb, and Carlos all looking at the two of you in anticipation.
“Well I think we need to give the audience what they want.” you say with a small smile on her face.
She nods, “Yeah I think we should.”
The two of you leaned into each other. The kiss was everything you dreamed of. She was soft and tasted of strawberry chapstick.
You took her chin in between your fingers when you pulled away. The two of you smiling like idiots.

Valentine's Song (Nini Salazar-Roberts x Reader)
Masterlist /
Tumblr media
For Nini’s and Y/N’s first Valentine's Day together, Nini wanted to make it very special. She loves to show the world how much Y/N means to her. Also, Y/N’s old friend from her old school was coming to visit. Ashlyn planned a small party for the theatre club so Y/N can bring her friend.
“I’m very excited for you guys to meet. I promise that you will love each other” Y/N said as they were walking down the hallway the day before Valentine. “She must be very important to you,” Nini asked, smirking at how happy her girlfriend is. Y/N quickly grabs Nini’s hand and pulls her in. “She is almost as important as you are to me. I hope you don’t think that she’s above you. She’s just helped me come to terms with my sexuality. She kinda led me to you. So I can be ready to be with you without worrying about anything. I want her to meet you because you’re important to me” Y/N spoke worrying that she was making Nini feel less than she is. Nini smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry Y/N, I know that you love me” Nini kissed her making Y/N blushed.
The next day, Y/N picked up her friend from the bus station. She was taking her over to Ashlyn's house, “So how are you liking the new school” Dora asked looking at Y/N. “I love it, I met so many great people. I also started to date, someone.” Y/N confessed shyly. Dora gave her a shocked look. “Really?” she asked. “Yeah her name is Nini, she’s great, You will love her. She treats me like a princess.” Y/N nod smiling thinking about Nini. “Did she do something for Valentine's Day?” Dora asked, crossing her arms. “Yeah, she gave me chocolate and this cute hippo. She told me that my main gift, she will give me later. I also am giving her gift later, well actually right now at the party, but you know what I mean.” Y/N answer smiling.
Dora was shocked to hear that Y/N was dating much less a girl. They met in middle school. Y/N was new to the whole school since she met halfway through the year. Dora helped her with everything. Finding her class or homework that she needed to catch up on, she even got her into the drama club in the school. She started to notice how protective she was with Y/N. At first, she didn’t know why until Y/ came out to her. That when she knew the reason why. She had a crush on Y/N. She saw Y/N slowly come to the term with her sexuality. She made the attempt to ask Y/N out but Y/N told her that she wasn’t ready to come out in public. Dora waited for her until Y/N told her that for high school, she was going to move since her dad wanted her closer to him. She always thought Y/N and her were soulmates, that they eventually found their way to each other. Now to hear how much this Nini girl has Y/N acting like she was on cloud nine was angry.
When they arrived at Ashlyn’s house, Y/N quickly walked up to the door and knocked. Nini, knowing that it was Y/N and her friend, quickly went to open the door. “Hey,” Nini smiled, seeing Y/N with her friend behind her. “Hi” Y/N smiled shyly. “Come in, Ashlyn was about to bring the food.” Nini reaches her hand for Y/N. “Cool” Y/N  took her hand and walked in, she stopped to close the door for Dora. “Nini this is my friend from my old school, Dora. Dora this my girlfriend, Nini” Y/N introduce them smiling. “Hi, Y/N told me a lot about you, it’s nice to meet you” Nini spoke smiling nervously. “Hey,” Dora smiled fakely at her. Nini’s smile falters a bit seeing that Dora was kinda being short with her. She knew a fake smile when she saw one.
“You’re here” The three girls hear Ashlyn shout once she sees Y/N and Dora. “Hey, guys this is my friend, Dora. Dora this is the theatre club in East High.” Y/N walks into the living room with Nini, while Dora follows them. “Hey, nice to meet you all,” Dora said smiling. Nini just falters more seeing that Dora already dislikes her. Nini really wants Dora to like her since she means a lot to Y/N. “Anyways, should we eat” Ashlyn spoke, making everyone nod and sit down around the living room. Y/N quickly make sure Nini and Dora sit beside her.
“Okay, we will eat first then couples can do your cute stuff and give gifts while us singles people can watch and cry on the inside,” Kourtney said making everyone smile and shake their heads. They eat and chat, Nini has tried to talk with Dora but she would be short with her. Y/N nudged Dora to give her a look. Y/N gave Nini a kiss on the head and whispered to ignore Dora.
After everyone finished eating, the gifts came out. When it was Y/N and Nini turned, YN quickly took a box out from her bag and put it into Nini’s lap. Nini smiles and opens it to find a frame with Nini and Y/N’s first date picture. They have taken a selfie, Nini had to keep asking for the picture a million times but Y/N would always forget. Nini blush and kiss Y/N. “I love it,” Nini whispers once she pulls away making Y/N blushed.  “Okay my turn” Nini went to the piano that Ashlyn had in the living room and started to sing the song that she wrote for Y/N.
Once Nini was done, she turned to Y/N, who was smiling hugely, and ran up to her. “That was amazing, thanks Nini,” Y/N said, kissing her. Everyone clapped and cheered. Dora rolled her eyes,” Really just a song? Y/N gave you something that you can hang up in your room but she can’t put that in her room or something.”Dora spoke, making everyone quiet. “DORA” Y/N called in shocked. “What? It’s true” Dora said, standing up. “It isn’t about whether I can put it in my room or something. Nini asked me once what my perfect gift was and I said her singing to me.” Y/N said angry, Nini was already wiping tears, she hated that she made Y/N and Dora argue. “Whatever, settle for less Y/N” Dora spat looking at Nini and walking out. Y/N breath out and grab Nini’s hand and follow Dora.
The others follow Y/N and Nini, “Dora what is your problem. I know that you’re easy to get along with the others, but what is with Nini that you dislike.” Y/N spoke following Dora to the driveway. “I could and would treat you better, I would buy you the best stuff but no, you’re here with her,” Dora yelled. “But Dora, I’m happy with Nini. Isn’t that enough, Nini is everything for me, I’m sorry if I made you think that I would wait for you. I told you before I left, go and be happy. Don’t wait for me. I love Nini. She means the word for me.” Y/N spoke, making Dora just roll her eyes. “Did you know that I came out to my grandma before she died, Dora, I was nervous out of my mind but I did it. Did you know that she hugged me and said that she was happy for me. That I was still me but just able to walk without anything weighing me down. She even met Nini and she loved her. You met her, Dora. My grandma was as religious as it came and never liked anyone. But she approved of Nini being my girlfriend. If she can look past her beliefs that she grew up with since she was young because she knew that Nini made me happy. Can’t you look past your crush.” Y/N stopped still holding on to Nini’s hands.
Dora just nodded and walked away. “Thought so” Y/N nod and turn to Nini. “I’m…..so sorry Y/N” Nini cried. Y/N just shook her head and hugged her. “Forget her, I'm still happy” Y/N whispers, making Nini smile and hug her tighter. ”I love you” Nini whispers, kissing Y/N. “Let’s keep this Valentine's Day party going” Y/N yelled, making everyone cheer and walk back into Ashlyn’s house.

When she loved me
Pairing: Nini Salazar Roberts x fem!Reader
Warnings: maybe you’ll get sad
Song Reference: When she loved me - Sarah McLachlan
A/n: yeah its the song from toy story 2. do be kinda sad. Gif is not mine cred to original owner!
Tumblr media
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
When somebody loved me, Everything was beautiful
"Y/n/n come on!" Nini laughed, running ahead of you to the open gates of the flower garden. She stopped running when she reached the bunches of marigolds, kneeling down to smell the flowers.
You smiled at her as she did so, heart-swelling at her peaceful beauty. It was as if she felt your stare, her head picking up to smile back at you.
And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears.
Nini grasped onto your arms as she sobbed, shoulders racking as she messily told you what had happened.
"I told him I loved him and he left. Then he said we should take a break."
You frowned, softly caressing her head. "I'm sorry Nini, you don't deserve that."
And when she was happy so was I.
You helped Nini up by the arm, gripping onto her. She thanked you quickly, brushing off her pants as she looked at the horizon before her. She cheered, throwing her arms up as she celebrated. You couldn't help but do the same, grinning when she beamed at you.
Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all.
"Okay junior year, we totally got this right?" Nini asked, holding her stuffed bear in her arms.
You chuckled at her nervousness, "Yes we got this. Come on, it won't be that bad, promise." You sat up in her chair, hugging one of her throw pillows. "It's only July either way, we got about two months before we can freak out." She laughed, nodding her head in return.
And I knew that she loved me
"I'm going to theater camp."
You peered up at Nini over your sketch pad, discarding the ruler and pencil in your hands. "You are?" She nods. "When?"
"Tomorrow." She replied, holding her hands behind her back. "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner it's just if you tried to convince me to stay I would have because you know, I can never say no to you."
You stared at her, blinking at her response. "Oh." There was silence for another moment before you spoke up again. "That's really cool Nini, I hope you have fun."
She let out a breath as she smiled, nodding her head at you. "Thanks."
So the years went by, I stayed the same, but she began to drift away, I was left alone, Still, I waited for the day, When she'd say, "I will always love you"
You hadn't talked to Nini since August. She just never got around to your text, and when she did it was simple one-word answers instead of her usual 3-4 sentence answers about anything.
You walked alone into the school, students swarming the halls as they chatted and goofed around before the first bell rang. You hadn't seen Nini yet, and you couldn't decide if you should be relieved or concerned due to her going m.i.a on you only.
You yelped when someone almost ran into you, looking up to see Ricky standing in front of you, Big Red trailing behind.
"Did you know Nini was going to break up with me?" He breathed out, his curls falling in front of his eyes.
You shook your head, "I didn't know anything about that."
"Aren't you like one of her best friends? Doesn't she tell you about this kind of junk?"
"I wouldn't know Ricky, Nini went m.i.a on me since August. I wish I could help you but I really can't." You responded, walking away from Ricky, accepting the sympathetic smile Big Red gave you.
Lonely and Forgotten, Never thought she'd look my way.
Lunch finally came after three hours of 'get to know me' worksheets and power points from teachers. You sat with Ashlyn, a nice girl who gladly welcomed you to sit with her. You held your breath when nini started walking towards you, a guy trailing behind her.
And she smiled at me and held me, Just like she used to do, like she loved me
"Hi Y/n."
You glanced up at her for a mere second, still catching the frown that made its way to her lips. "Hey."
"I'm sorry I ghosted you, I was caught up with camp." You nodded, looking up at her. She wrapped her arms around your neck, your arms automatically wrapping around her waist. She held you for longer than you expected, squeezing you before releasing.
"I love you, you know?" She said, tilting her head at you.
You stared at her, heart twinging in pain because she didn't love you the way you loved her. "Yeah." You finally said, nodding. "I love you too."
She nodded, hugging you once more before getting up, linking her arm with the guy who trailed behind her. "I'll see you around okay?" You nodded, watching her leave, blinking back whatever tears that wanted to come out.
You bid goodbye to Ashlyn and her other friend, walking out of the cafeteria. Ricky popped up in front of you, a solemn expression on his face. "I overheard your guys' conversation." He paused, eyes darting around. "I saw the way you looked at her." You sucked in a deep breath, closing your eyes as you ducked your head down. "I am so sorry Y/n."
Your head picked up when he placed a hand on your shoulder, your lips pressed in a thin line. "You don't have to apologize to me, Ricky. Every hour I spent with Nini lives within my heart. And I'll remember when she loved me." You wiped the stray tear that fell, nodding as you let out a breath. You accepted the hug he offered, picking at the sherpa fur of his jean jacket before pulling away. You smiled half-heartedly at him, "Thank you." He smiled back at you, nodding. "I'll see you around Ricky."
When somebody loved me, Everything was beautiful, Every hour spent together, Lives within my heart When she loved me

“and sometimes i feel so much that only you can save me.”
requested // @caitlinesmewilliams
HOLD THE PHONE, BECAUSE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS WITH MY GIRL NINI SALAZAR ROBERTS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO INCLUDE...
this girl
nini was obviously the one to befriend you - she’s way too outgoing for her own good and when she met you in preschool on the first day, she decided then and there that you two would be best friends for life
and you thought this obnoxious child was friendly and fun to play tag with, so, of course, you were hooked
and were you a little shy? sure, but nini would change that
i mean, she would always volunteer to read for the class or act something out
and if she needed a partner? her eyes would go immediately to you and kourtney
the two of you would take turns in helping this wild child with whatever it was she wanted to do
i mean, how can you say no to her puppy dog eyes??
the three of you would hang out every weekend - mostly park dates
because you and nini lived on the same street and kourtney would get her mom to drive her somehow
kourtney was a master at double dutch by the third grade and you and nini knew all of the different hand games
nini was also scarily good at the slapping game
the three of you hung out every recess, and when nini would go and play tag with the boys, you and kourtney would hang back and do hopscotch
you always beat kourtney, and she vowed one day she would avenge herself
elementary school was easy
when you moved into junior high, you got a dog or cat of some kind
nini, who loved animals but wasn’t allowed to have a pet, was at your house every day
you guys would go to the park together to walk your dog or find your cat because he liked to wander off, right before dinner time
it was those times that you spend the most one on one time with nini, because kourtney was allergic to most pets
you learned to cherish those moments, and you started to want them more and more
you learned that you liked nini best when she started to talk really fast about things she was excited about
you learned that you liked nini best when she randomly danced in the middle of the path because she had soo much pent up energy
you learned that you liked nini best when she looked at you with big, brown eyes and smiled brighter than any sun, star, or spotlight that you had ever seen
in all of nini’s endeavors, you were her biggest supporter - constantly happy for her, knowing she could do it, and there for her when things didn’t go as planned
you were her biggest cheerleader - exactly what a best friend should be, you thought
kourtney would always give you looks and have conversations where she tried to make you think that it was something more, but she was easy to laugh off or ignore
she said she didn’t want you to get hurt, but how could nini ever hurt you?
nini started to date ricky, and that’s when things took a turn
no, you insisted that you weren’t  j e a l o u s  - you were only confused
nini hadn’t told you she was going to start dating him - she didn’t even tell you she liked him!
and, okay, maybe she talked about how handsome and funny and charismatic he was once or twice, but hadn’t the two of you done that about countless boys and girls?
what was special about ricky?
nini said it was in his smile.
and you paid extra attention to it the next time you saw it, but it didn’t seem to be anything special.
but when she asked you about it, you nodded understandingly - as if you really had seem something there
she smiled at that, and the galaxy was no longer far away - it was right there, in the park where you walked together
you smiled sadly in response
“what’s wrong, (n/n)?”
“i’m tried.”
and deep down you really were
kourtney gave you sympathetic looks when they were together at lunch
and you weren’t jealous - that would involve anger
you were too tired for that
and you didn’t hate ricky
you were too tired for that
and you weren’t upset with nini
you were too tired for that
you still did everything the same way you always had - you owed nini that much
she didn’t deserve to lose anything when she was so happy
but you felt your sadness sinking you into a pit - one without the light that used to light up your life
kourtney did her best to pull you out, and her strides were strong because she knew 
but what could she do? she had never been like this
you were at lunch and your head was down the day it happened
it was an april day - in the middle of finals week
you were more tired than usual, and when you sat down at the lunch table and realized you would have to see nini and ricky planning their summer excursions (especially their one year anniversary)
you put your head down and tried your hardest to take a nap
kourtney and nini sat down at the table a few moments later - and as you waited for ricky’s tray to hit the table, nini spoke up
“(y/n), you have to tell me what’s wrong.”
you looked up at the sound of concern in her voice. it scared you. 
it scared her, too
“it’s nothing, nini, really. i’ve had a rough finals week, is all.”
“you’ve been having a rough year, (n/n). i want to know what happened.”
“let it go, nini, please.”
“no, (y/n)! i can’t! i’ve been your friend long enough that you should trust me with everything!”
“i love you!”
your words weren’t sharp, like you’d expected, or resigned, like you’d hoped. 
they weren’t angry either - just bitter
“i always have and now it’s too late. and i’m not angry with you, and i’m not angry with ricky. i’m just tired.”
there is silence at the table. you look at nini, and all of the light is dashed from her face. 
it was lonely in the dark. you couldn’t feel her presence anymore and neither could she.
“tired from what?”
she was crying, and it made you break.
you ruined her.
“i’m tired of learning you inside and out and it not being enough.”
your words were slow, your voice quiet.
and you left
and for a long time, you were numb
you still saw her in the hallway, her smile blinded you even though it was directed to someone else; her laugh still echoed in your head and the ghost of her hands were over yours when you played the piano
and she was there, even if she really wasn’t
and one summer night you got a phone call, and when you saw her picture and name on the caller id, your heart stopped
“hello?”
and she was sobbing on the phone
and then, suddenly, you were there in her living room, hugging her as her tears stained your shirt
and you told her you were sorry you ever left
and she told you she was sorry she ever let you leave
and when you left that night, you only asked her one question before you left
“how do you feel?”
and she looked at you sadly, only this time it was different. it wasn’t self-pity - it was a sadness that you knew was for you
“tired”

Ashes (HSMTMTS x Salazar-Roberts Reader) - Chapter 2
Series Masterlist
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Ladies and gentleman, just a reminder that the auditions for the musical will begin in the auditorium in five minutes," The words ring from the intercom.
Nini fixes her gaze on her sister excitedly.
(Y/n)'s gaze sparkles warmly. "Let's go!" (Y/n) says and Nini bounces excitedly.
. . .
"People! Make sure your audition number is clearly visible on your clothes!" Carlos yells over the bustle of the room. "This isn't a game."
(Y/n) chuckles, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
Nini and (Y/n) were sitting on opposite sides of the room - their usual audition ritual. Nini is accompanied by EJ and Kourtney.
(Y/n) leans over her guitar, her fingers gently plucking a soft tune - her usual audition ritual - her eyes closed as her nose points down towards the guitar.
There is a knocking on the doorframe of the room, and there is a ringing silence.
"Okay, theatre people," Miss Jenn, who had walked into the room, claps her hands. "Let's do this."
Then her eyes fall on (Y/n), whose guitar is still sitting in her lap.
"Bring the guitar," Miss Jenn says, then she leaves, (Y/n) blinking in surprise.
(Y/n) puts a strap on her guitar, and she follows her twin out of the room, her guitar resting on her back.
. . .
Miss Jenn stops beside (Y/n), who is sitting offstage, tuning her guitar.
"How long have you been playing guitar?" Miss Jenn asks, and (Y/n) blinks, looking surprised.
"About nine to ten years," (Y/n) replies.
"Well, good luck," Miss Jenn tells her.
(Y/n) watches Miss Jenn with a slightly confused look on her face, but as she goes to focus back on guitar, she catches the eye of a very pretty redhead who is standing in a line to do her audition readings.
The redhead is dressed in a pink sweatshirt with the same shade of pink sweatpants, and her hair is pulled back.
The redhead smiles at (Y/n), her eyes crinkling cutely.
All the breath leaves (Y/n)'s chest and she sits stunned for a moment before she shakes herself.
(Y/n) looks up again when she sees Miss Jenn stop in front of the redhead.
"You," Miss Jenn studies the redhead closely. "You're giving me uncommon depth. Ms. Darbus?" Miss Jenn offers.
"I'm dying. I'm deceased. Yes." the girl says and (Y/n) giggles uncharastically.
"Oh, your application says you play piano?" Miss Jenn asks.
"I dabble," the girl replies.
"You ever written a song?" Miss Jenn asks.
"I mean, nothing I've ever shared with anyone," the girl admits.
"I always thought the drama teacher should have an Act Two power ballad," Miss Jenn smiles at the girl.
(Y/n) continues to watch as Miss Jenn reaches Nini. "And how about we have you read for Kelsi?" Miss Jenn asks.
(Y/n) sets down her guitar and goes to stand next to the last boy in line.
Nini pauses, and she glances down at her twin. (Y/n) nods her encouragement.
"Gabriella," Nini corrects. "I wanna audition for Gabriella."
"Okay," Miss Jenn smiles at Nini. She moves on to the boy in between (Y/n) and Nini. "You're reading for Ryan, right?" she asks.
(Y/n) can sense the boy's discomfort, and Carlos pipes up, "I think he'd rather play Sharpay."
Miss Jenn looks back at the blonde haired boy, and he grins. "I love that. That is so fresh."
Miss Jenn takes one more step to stand in front of (Y/n). Glancing back at Nini, Miss Jenn can see the similarities between the two girls.
Studying (Y/n) closely, Miss Jenn glances down at her clipboard.
. . .
"Okay, the last of the Troys," Miss Jenn says as EJ walks onto stage with a basketball clutched in his hands. "And he comes with props." EJ fake throws the ball, and catches it again, chuckling. "Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn tells EJ. "Okay," her voice softens, "what do I need to know?" she asks Carlos, who is sitting beside her.
"EJ Caswell," Carlos begins. "Most Instagram followers. Co-Captain of the Water Polo team. Senior class treasurer. Wakes up looking like that. Doesn't know I exist."
"I hope he can carry a tune," Miss Jenn says.
As EJ sings his piece, Nini smiles, her eyes softening with affection.
"Well, excuse me, Armie Hammer just called," Miss Jenn says and (Y/n)'s eyebrows raise. "He wants his jawline back." (Y/n) chuckles and EJ looks confused, glancing over at Nini and (Y/n), who were standing next to each other. "We're moving on to the Gabriellas," Miss Jenn goes on as EJ walks over to the wings.
The girl - Gina Porter, who had the fancy dance moves in the warm up - sings her piece with a steady voice.
"She's good," Nini murmurs in (Y/n)'s ear, sounding worried.
"We're going together," (Y/n) replies. "You're leading. You'll do amazing."
EJ comes to stand beside Nini and Nini turns to her boyfriend. "Okay, I could really use some last-minute tips. Like, now."
(Y/n) steps slightly away so they could talk.
"And that's why I love you," (Y/n) can hear EJ say, and Nini freezes.
. . .
(Y/n) is walking up to her bedroom but she freezes at her door as Ricky rushes past.
"Ricky?" (Y/n) asks but Ricky doesn't answer, his head bowed.
(Y/n) messes with her doorknob before she moves to Nini's room where her twin was hugging a pillow to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Nin?" (Y/n) asks, moving over to her sister's bed.
Sitting down, Nini collapses into her sister's arms, sobbing against her shoulder.
. . .
"You ready?" (Y/n) asks her sister.
"Any intel on these two?" Miss Jenn asks as the two sisters walk out into the center of the stage.
"Nini Salazar-Roberts," Carlos says, nodding to Nini. "Harmless chorus girl. Usually plays farm animals and trees. (Y/n) Salazar-Roberts," Carlos goes on, gesturing to (Y/n). "Orchestra girl. Plays cello, guitar, viola, and piano. Co-Captain of the cross-country team."
"Okay, Nini, (Y/n)! Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn says louder so the twins can hear.
Nini goes to start, but there are heavy footsteps approaching somewhere, and (Y/n) and Nini pause.
The door at the back of the auditorium slams open and (Y/n) scowls as she hears Ricky yell, "Am I too late? Am I too late?"
The redhead, whose eye (Y/n) had caught earlier, watches (Y/n) as she turns, facing her twin, murmuring something that the others can't hear. The redhead can see Nini relax a little, however.
"We're all set on Troys," Miss Jenn tells Ricky as he jumps up the stairs. "We're low on Chads. You can read after the Gabriellas."
"I-I only studied the Troy scenes in the movie," Ricky stutters and EJ rolls his eyes.
"Troy would have arrived on time," Carlos replies, looking annoyed.
"I hope that was ironic," (Y/n) comments and the others laugh.
Miss Jenn turns away from Ricky and back towards (Y/n) and Nini, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, (Y/n)'s feet spread slightly, as though grounding herself.
"Whoo!" EJ yells, cheering his girlfriend on.
Miss Jenn starts, her coffee spilling on the light board.
Electricity crackles and the lights flicker off, leaving the others sitting in darkness.
"Nobody panic!" Miss Jenn calls after a moment, trying to mop up her spilled coffee with a few sheets of paper. "Girls, let's wait for the lights to come back on," she goes on. "I don't want this to throw you."
(Y/n) takes a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Nini.
"We're not thrown," Nini says, furrowing her eyebrows.
(Y/n) and Nini begin the song, and both Ricky and EJ jump up, flicking on their phone lights and shining them in (Y/n) and Nini's eyes.
. . .
Watching the twins sing, the redhead notices how well their voice complement each other's, Nini's higher voice easily matching up with (Y/n)'s lower voice.
Just as the two finish, the lights flicker back on.
(Y/n) glances at Nini. "Funny how that happens."
Nini regards her twin with amusement, while the others on the stage laugh.
Miss Jenn considers the two in front of her for a moment, Ricky and EJ turning off their phone flashlights.
"Good job you two," Miss Jenn says, looking impressed.
(Y/n) grins at her sister and the two walk over, sitting down.
Nini had plopped herself beside EJ, leaving (Y/n) to sit in between her and the pretty redhead that had caught her eye earlier.
"You, late boy," Miss Jenn calls back to Ricky. "Let's do the Chad sides."
(Y/n) throws a protective arm around Nini's shoulders as Ricky walks to the middle of the stage.

77 and 55 from the 200 prompt writing list with Nini?
55. “I fell in love with my best friend.” 77. “You shouldn’t have even been there!”
--
you and the theatre group gathered in ashlyn’s house, a party before opening night. you and gina in the kitchen, swinging your legs as you sit on the counter, tears welling in your eyes. “you should just tell her”
“i can’t! i haven’t told anyone i’m bisexual instead of you and myself. i..i can’t tell nina i’m in love with her. she doesn’t feel the same way, she loves ricky.. and e.j. i don’t have a chance” you wipe your eyes and your breath hitches in your throat when you see nini standing in the door way, clenching her can in her hands. 
“i- uh.. i wanted-” she quickly left the room, and you bowed your head as more tears fell. 
“goddamnit!” you jump down and leave the kitchen, running out the back door and everyone asking if you were okay, and gina told them you were fine. you slid down the side of the house, taking deep breaths and staring at the sky. you hear footsteps next to you, and they stop as she sits on the steps. “how long were you standing there?” 
“long enough to hear what you said.. about me..” you sigh and look over to nini, a flower in her hand. 
“you shouldn’t have even been there! you told me that you weren’t even going to come to the party, you wanted to stay home and bake cookies. i tried to talk to gina in private, but you came in. and now you know.. and probably hate me” you run your fingers through your hair. 
there was a silence before she spoke up again. “i never told anyone besides ricky and my moms.. but i’m bisexual. known for years. and i fell in love with my best friend. i fell in love with the way you laugh, how you care for other people. i don’t care about e.j. and ricky. sure i loved them, but not in the way i love you” you sit next to nini, leaning towards her and smiling. 
“you drive me nuts, you know that?” you smile and she laughs, leaning forward and kissing you quickly. you lick your lips and smile, nini’s eyes widening. 
“i didn’t mean to. i mean i did, but i didn’t even ask if i could kiss you and i’m so sor-” you cut her off, a hand on her thigh as you kiss her more meaningfully. 
“i love you too, nini. and i mean it” you whisper and she smiles, kissing you again. “do you.. do you want to sleep over?” 
“i would love to” she whispered and you smile, nodding and kissing her quickly once more before taking her hand and getting up off the step.

warnings ── none
It had taken weeks. So many sleepless nights, cancelled plans and cups of energy drinks poured into espressos. But I'd finally done it, I'd survived exam week.
Walking out of my last exam, I felt like I'd not just passed, but I'd actually done well. All that cramming must have payed off.
I was on my way back to my dorm, when I heard my name being called. Turning around, I was met with a slightly out of breath Nini.
Nina Salazar-Roberts and I had met on orientation day of freshman year. She may or may not have bumped into me, an accident that resulted in coffee stains all over my favourite sweater, but we'd got along incredibly well since then.
"Hey, Neens. What's up?" I brushed a piece of hair out of my face and readjusted my backpack.
"You just finished your last exam, right?" She asked, catching her breath. I nodded, and she fidgeted with a guitar pick on the edge of a silver chain. Taking a deep breath, she looked around, trying to seem nonchalant. "Great! I did too! Uh, so I was wondering if- I know you've been studying really hard lately, and I thought you might want to unwind and forget about school for a bit- it's just, me and a few of my friends were thinking of going bowling tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come? We were going to grab some pizza after. You can say no, I'm sure you've got other friends you want to hang out with and- "
"Nini," I placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and she opened and closed her mouth a few times. "You're rambling. I'd love to come with you, if I'm not intruding,"
"Great! Great, yeah, sure, I'll text you the details! See you tonight!" Her tan cheeks acquired a slightly more pink tone than usual as she nodded again. "Bye!”
Nini had texted me an hour later with a location and a list of people that were going. There was, Ashlyn, the girl who lived across the hall from me, Seb and Carlos, two boys I had spoken to a few times and Ricky, someone I'd never met but knew a little bit about from getting to know Nini.
Ricky and Nini had been best friends since kindergarden, her lifelong nickname stemming from the fact he couldn't say Nina. They had dated their entire sophomore year and then broken up on the first day of junior year only to start dating again six weeks later. It was the fairy tail romance every girl wished for, but it didn't work out.
Nini had left her high school in Utah to attend a performing arts school in Denver for her senior year. Ultimately, the school wasn't the right fit for her and she returned to Salt Lake City half way through the year. She and Ricky had done long distance for six months, but when she returned they both made a startling discovery.
While Nini had been off making memories and honing her skills and having amazing experiences, Ricky had spent the entire time moping around waiting for her to come back.
So the pair parted ways, and apparently Nini had been heartbroken with the breakup, and it had taken her a long time to get over.
I found it odd that Nini had invited the boy who broke her heart not once, but twice, but I decided not to question it.
Three hours later I was dressed up, not too fancy but fancy enough; one of my brother's black Wrangler t-shirts on top of a pastel yellow long sleeved top, tucked into some high waisted jeans with some black high top converse.
By the time I arrived at the bowling alley, only Nini and a guy I assumed was Ricky were there. He had curly brown hair and a skateboard tucked under his arm.
Nini brightened considerably when she noticed my arrival. Assuming it was due to the fact she was uncomfortable around her ex-boyfriend I took smiled and hugged her.
"This is Ricky," Nini blurted out after a few awkward moments of silence. I smiled, introduced myself, all the things you do when you meet someone new. He seemed nice enough, but i was still a little wary about him.
"Uh, Seb and Carlos texted me, they said Seb's parents are in town so they're skipping out," Nini said.
"That sucks, I was looking forward to seeing them," I said honestly.
"I think I'll go get some soda or something," Nini suggested suddenly. "You guys want anything?"
Ricky and I shook our heads and Nini flashed me an awkward smile as she speed-walked across the room to the snack bar.
"So how do you know Nini?" Ricky asked, clearly trying to make conversation.
"Oh she bumped into me at the activities fair last year. We don't talk much but I'd say we're friends,"
"Cool,"
There was another few moments of awkward silence. I subtly looked to my left to see if I could see how far away Nini was. I saw her gesture to a woman who walked up behind her; she was letting people in front of her to avoid going back to the sandpaper of a conversation she knew would be waiting for her with Ricky and I.
I was just about to open my mouth to ask another generic question in return, probably something about his major, when he spoke first.
"So, uh... how long have you and Nini been together?"
I blinked. Together? Like, together together? As in the kind of together that Ricky and Nini used to be?
I was about to respond truthfully, that we were just friends, when I remembered the relived expression Nini had when I arrived. Without thinking about it, I said "two weeks,"
"That's cool,"
I didn't think it was possible, but Ricky somehow looked even more uncomfortable after finding this out than he did before. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut, staring at the neon designs on the navy carpet.
"Uh, I think I'll actually get a drink," I said, standing up. Ricky nodded stiffly and smiled. I walked over at a normal pace, not wanting to seem like I was that desperate to avoid talking to him.
When I reached Nini, she grimaced apologetically. "I'm so sorry I left you alone with him, it's just the first time we've hung out since we broke up, and I thought I would be fine because I had a bunch of friends to act as a buffer, but then Seb and Carlos couldn't come and I just got a text from Ashlyn that she has to cover someone else's shift and can't come either, and Kourtney would rather die than bowl after what happened last time, and- "
"Hey, hey, Neens. It's okay, it's cool, I don't mind," I placed a hand on her shoulder. "I completely understand, everything's fine,"
It took a few more murmured words of comfort and some shallow breaths from her before she calmed down, a tear slipping down her face. She wiped it away angrily. "I am not crying over Ricky Bowen for god's sake, especially not when my foundation cost $48,"
"We can leave if you want?" I offered. Nini took a look over to where Ricky was waiting, before looking back into my eyes.
"Is that okay? I know this was supposed to be us celebrating exam season ending, I don't want to be a downer. I'll get over it, I think I just need a minute"
I grabbed her hand. "Neen, what you're feeling is perfectly okay, I mean I would probably be the same if I was in that situation. Let's go get some pizza, and we can just hang out. Don't worry about it, I just like spending time with you,"
She took another shaky breath. "Thank you,"
We shook Ricky off with some lie about my dog being sick, which I'm not entirely sure if he bought. To be honest he seemed just as relieved to have an excuse to leave.
"Do you even have a dog?" Nini asked as she climbed into the passenger side of my car. She immediately plugged her phone into my aux cord, having claimed for weeks that she had the perfect playlist that fit my vibe.
"Nope," I replied as I pulled out of the parking lot. "How did you get here anyway?"
"Uber," she explained as she pressed shuffle, the car filling with some soft guitar before the voice of Conan Gray spoke up.
I still remember
Third of december
Me in your sweater
You said it looked better
On me than it did you
Only if you knew
How much I liked you
"Oh I actually really like this song," I said, glancing at her. She had a smile smile that she was trying to hide. "Hey, did you know Ricky thought we were dating?"
Nini gave a little bit of a sheepish cough. "I maybe told him just in case something happened," her face went red, from what I could tell. Her darker skin owed to her filipino heritage, and also the fact I was driving down a highway made it slightly hard to tell. "I know I should have checked with you,  I didn't even plan to, I just panicked. We'd been alone for like ten minutes and he asked me about you because you two had never met and I said I was your girlfriend," she hurriedly explained. "Did he say anything?"
"Just asked how long we'd been together," I shrugged. "It's no big deal,"
Nini fidgeted with her hands in her lap. "What did you say?"
"About two weeks," I pulled into the pizza place's parking lot.
Neither of us had noticed the song had changed until I turned the engine off and Taylor Swift started singing.
The rain came pouring
Down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breath
And that morning
Gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
I got out of the car, about to walk towards the door when she grabbed my arm gently. "Thank you, thank you. I mean, Ricky's not a bad guy, the opposite actually it's just... I don't even know. I thought I was over him. I am over him!" She rugged softly on the guitar pick on the chain. "I just appreciate it. I thought we were ready to hang out again, but apparently not,”
“Well, I mean, you guys dated for like nearly two years all up right? That’s a long time. Especially in high school,” I reasoned.
Nini bit her lip and nodded uncertainly. “Yeah, I just, I don’t even know,”
“Well, you’ll have plenty of time to figure it out, now come on, let’s come get some food,”
