enjin is your unofficial boyfriend
enjin liked you. you knew it, he knew it. hell, everyone at HQ knew.
even though he shouldn’t, he acted like you were already his.
whenever you got ready, he’d linger in the doorway like he belonged there, arms crossed, watching you with that familiar, unreadable stare.
then, like it didn’t matter at all, he’d finally speak.
“well aren't you a sight for sore eyes?”
his voice was rough, but there was a strange warmth beneath it. the way he looked at you said everything.
he’d take you out one-on-one, saying HQ had gotten "boring". he acted like it was nothing, just casual—though it was clear to anyone paying attention that it wasn’t.
he always paid the tab too, barely even looking at the bill.
you’d roll your eyes as he pulled the money from his wallet. you’d long passed the stage of arguing with him about it. he simply wouldn’t let you.
“enjin, i can pay for my own food.”
“because i don’t want you to.”
anytime you left HQ without him, he'd constantly blow up your phone.
mary poppins: Hey.
mary poppins: Where are you?
mary poppins: Hello???
mary poppins: Don’t ignore me.
mary poppins: I saw you walk out earlier
mary poppins: Who was that guy
mary poppins: was that your friend orrrr
mary poppins: because he didn’t look like a friend
mary poppins: is this some kind of prank?
mary poppins: Text me ASAP
when you didn’t answer fast enough, he’d follow up with the most insulting excuse for concern.
mary poppins: if you’re dead i’m going to be pissed.
and every time he drove, he let you pick the music.
you didn’t even have to ask anymore. the second you reached for the aux, he’d already be handing it over.
“how come she always gets to pick the music?” zanka asked from the backseat, clearly annoyed.
"because,” enjin replied, like it was obvious.
zanka narrowed his eyes. “because…?”
enjin didn’t even look away from the road.
zanka scoffed and stared out the window, sulking like a toddler. riyo choked on her laughter, turning her face away, and rudo blinked between the two of them, completely lost.
you just leaned back in the passenger seat, smug.
enjin’s hand shifted on the wheel.
then—subtle, like it was an accident—his knuckles brushed your thigh.
not enough for anyone else to notice.
this was in my drafts. @yorikae you better start gachiakuta or i will find you 😡😡
