Luke Pearce
LOVE OF MY LIFE
Saying that at the start of every luke hc just because
Anyways, luke is a cutie, i just know that he's got a bazillion of people getting in line to have him for themselves
And unfortunately for you, you're one of those people
One downside of being his childhood friend is that, there are some people that would constantly approach you first, and try to get on your good side just so you can introduce them to Luke
People who like him tend to see you as a wingperson of sorts
Having to always give them his cellphone number, and on your highschool days they would even ask you to deliver love letters to him
Imagine how tired you are???
But here's the thing, no matter how many people you have introduced to him, he never seems interested
I wonder why
That's one of the main reasons why you rarely ever get jealous of his suitors because Luke doesn't seem to reciprocate any of their advances
So, imagine what you felt one day, when he suddenly did?
"It's a hairclip!" an overjoyed voice rang through your ears. You sank lower from where you're sitting, as if it will help you become invisible and perhaps escape this situation that you and Luke got yourselves into.
You let out an audible sigh of relief. The item that you dropped inside the box was a keychain, and you're glad it hasn't been picked out yet. The night is still young however, and dread began to sit in your stomach as you pictured the image of your item dangling from the hands of the host in your head, ready to shove you inside a room to kiss heaven-knows who.
"Why did we agree to play this game again?" Luke murmured beside you with pout, breaking you out of your thoughts of wanting to form an escape plan.
You two were sitting with your legs crossed, you can feel the cool temperature of the floor even through your clothes. You felt his knees bump to yours when he shifted closer, "I mean, I adore our former classmates and all, but this game," He whispered out of other people's earshot, followed by a scratch on his head, "I honestly don't know."
You rest your elbows on your knees and put your hands on your cheeks, "I'm asking myself the same thing..." you groaned, dreadfully anticipating the item to be announced next.
You and Luke were invited by an old classmate over for a reunion party, they claimed it'll be a nice opportunity to rekindle old bonds.
Which would be nice by the way, only if it hadn't been done this way.
After some catching up with their lives earlier, the party host began telling everyone to drop their favorite items in a box. After everything was all set up, they announced that seven minutes in heaven is going to be commenced, and pairs are going to be decided by which item is picked. You can clearly recall the coil settling in stomach when you imagine the things that would transpire.
"But i guess this it's alright! I think 7 minutes in heaven is pretty interesting. Whoever came up with that just wants to have some fun." He beamed a closed eyed smile.
"Fun?" you snorted, "Oh, Luke. Don't tell me you want to get your first kiss tonight?" your hands fly to your mouth and fake gasped, "Are you that touch-starved?" you were snickering at him, but a pang slaps in your heart at the thought of another person kissing your long time crush.
He looked away with pink dusting his cheeks, "it's not that Y/N. It's just that this is our former classmate's party. I wouldn't wanna spoil it." His chestnut eyes went back to your teasing ones, "but to answer your question. No. I'm not planning anything. We can participate in the game without kissing, right?" He questioned before turning his attention back to the host.
You fiddled with your shoelaces as you let out a hum of agreement, turning towards the host as well whose hands were now wandering inside the box, contemplating which item to pick next.
You wanted to tell Luke that this game would be 100x more fun if, only if, he was secured to be your partner.
Because quite frankly, You don't want to kiss anyone but him.
"Next..."
Your ears perked up from the host's voice, you held your breath, your heart started to race as you focused your eyes on the box, hoping silently.
Please don't let it be Luke's.
The host took a breath and opened her mouth, "It's a camera!" Your heart dropped at her gleeful words.
You and Luke slowly turned your heads to look at each other almost in a comical way, shock forming on both of your features.
You turned your head left and right to scan the room and search whoever the owner of the hairclip was.
"Should I?" He glanced at you with a worried look in his eyes. You wonder why was he so worried, it's not like you're dating or anything.
You flashed him a reassuring smile, "We don't want them calling us party poopers." you fiddled with your fingers, "Also, if I ever got picked some time later I'm also going to participate you know!" you stuck your tongue at him.
He chuckled, and trailed off a quiet, "Yeah."
"To the owner of the hairclip and camera, please come forward!" The host announced with playfulness lacing her tone, flashing a big grin to everyone.
Luke shot a look at you, and you smiled while nodding, "go get your first kiss." you chuckled. You were amazed that it was possible for you to say those words aloud without frowning.
Of course you didn't mean that.
Luke stood up, his eyes scanning the room in search for his partner, who then revealed themself from the sitting crowd.
It was Jess, and you could only gulp when you remembered who she was back in high school.
She was your number one client when talking about your famous reputation as a wingperson back then. She would strike up a conversation with you everyday to ask random things about Luke, she was consistent even though Luke kept turning her down, and she only stopped when you graduated.
She's wearing pretty revealing clothes, cleavage coming out of her tank top, her skin smooth as porcelain as she skipped over to Luke's direction.
She's stunning.
Jess put her hands on Luke's shoulders, pressing her body to his, "Long time no see." she began batting her eyelashes at Luke and you can only scream internally from how badly you wanted to be in her place.
Seeing this unfold in front of your eyes, you were already dying inside from jealousy.
You couldn't imagine what you would feel if they took a step further than this. Like kissing or making out. You couldn't handle it, not even in your imagination.
You were going to follow them there.
The two made their way to the house's walk in closet, you were sure Jess was going to do whatever it takes to get close with Luke. You waited for a solid minute before making your move.
Glancing cautiously at the host to avoid getting caught, you began to walk your way to follow Luke and the girl. You let out a sigh of relief when nobody noticed you walked out of the door.
As you walked down the hallway, your heart was racing as you thought to yourself, Am I really doing this!?
You were now in front of the closet's door. No turning back.
Poking your head inside the room, you deliberately took steps in a form of tiptoes, and your eyes adjusted to the dim light of the walk-in closet.
You flinched when you heard a thud, and you could hear Luke's voice yelling, "Hey!"
Your careful steps turned into frenzied brisk towards the source of the noise, and you could only stare when you saw two bodies on the floor, Jess on top of Luke, already dipping down to give him a kiss.
"I can please you tonight, let me." She said in the sultriest voice you've heard your entire life, that you were sure every man was going to give in to her advances.
Luke put his hands on Jess' shoulder, "Please get off me." but the girl just persisted, rubbing her body against Luke desperately.
She leaned closer to his ear, "I want you," She moaned as she continued grinding on him, "I'm very good in bed, I promise."
You were going to vomit at the scene happening before you.
Luke pushed her away with enough force to seperate the two of them, "Well, I don't want yo-" He was cut off when his eyes caught sight of your gaping form.
"Y/N!" He stood up and made his way over to you, eyes meeting yours in panic, "This isn't what you think it is!"
"I didn't say anything..." You choked out.
He sighed, "Y/N, it's a misunderstanding. She pinned me down, I was going to push her away, I swear." He furrowed his brows, "Wait," He noticed the unshed tears in your eyes, making his heart break, "Are you jealous?" He blinked.
You looked away, "Yes. I am. What now?" You would be surprised at your confession if not for the jealous feelings brewing inside you.
He took your hand in his, "Why?" He then rubbed comforting circles, the heat giving you comfort.
"Im in love with you, Luke." The words you held in back for so long were finally out, "I didn't want to make things awkward between us so I never told you anything." This was a huge confession, but you felt more relieved than anything, glad that you already let him know how you feel.
He was just staring at you in silence, and you hurriedly searched ideas on how to break the awkward ice, "The game is still ongoing," you glanced at Jess who's now looking dejected on the floor, "Keep playing with her."
"What if," His hand moved up to your cheek, "I wanted to play with you instead?"
"What?" your mouth gaped.
Before you could even think, he placed his other hand on your waist to pull you closer, your chests bumped, and his lips landed on your parted ones.
Warmth engulfed you, and you closed your eyes from the tingles that went up to your spine. You felt your knees buckle beneath you, you were going to fall if not for the strong arms supporting you.
Luke pulled away, "Ah," he licked his lips, "I finally got my first kiss." He whispered with a grin.
"Luke, wha-" You didn't know what to think, your long-time crush just kissed you, and you getting dizzy from the drunken feeling of the kiss doesn't help.
"Ugh!" You and Luke turned your heads to look at Jess, who's now stomping out of the room.
Luke turned his attention to you, "I'm in love with you, too."
Vyn Richter
Would realize immediately if you're being jealous
He finds it endearing that the person he likes could possibly feel the same about him?
Anyways, you two have been friends for a while now, and you would always come with him to anywhere, be it vacation, or work related outings, he would always invite you to come with him "as good friends"
Ugh, please date already
With his mysterious charms, it's inevitable that there are people who would approach vyn with romantic intentions in mind
I MEAN WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS SEXY MEGANE, CARD READING PROFESSOR WITH A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE
But most of the time he just turns them down
So you've never really felt jealous with anyone before because as far as you're concerned, there's nobody that close to vyn as you
Are you sure about that?
"Do you like kids, Y/N?" Vyn tilted his head to the sky, squinting his eyes at the bright light, and he felt the sunny breeze drag on his hair like a soothing caress.
You kicked a stone from the sidewalk as you strolled, "Depends," you look over at him, admiring the dispersing sunlight on his silver locks. If it's with you, then it's fine. You wanted to say out loud.
Heat rose to your cheeks at the silly thoughts and you shooed them away as you continued, "Um, some are cute, some are plain annoying," your eyes move to look at down at the stone path, "but they're not that bad I guess."
He puts a fist to cover his mouth and chuckled, the sound creating butterflies on your stomach as his voice reached your ears, "Your opinion on kids is understandable," He shook his head with a smile, "They can be quite a handful."
You were about to open your mouth to agree when your eyes caught a sign plastered in a pastel colored house, labeled Mia's daycare.
The both of you stopped in your tracks, "Is this the place?" You peeked on the windows to see silhouettes of bodies running about through the soft blue color of the curtains, "My patience is ready." you readied yourself for the chaos about to ensue.
Vyn dialled something on his phone, before putting it on his ear, "We're here." He told the person at the end of the line.
After a few moments, the door of the daycare spilled a woman out, about the same age as Vyn, her beaming grin blinding like the sunshine cascading down from the sky.
You took her appearance in, slim figure clad in a teacher uniform, blouse and skirt hugging her curves right. Her make up gives her a certain glow paired with the soft yellow rays of lights coming from above. To top it off, a cute smile.
She's gorgeous.
You stood there awkwardly as the two old friends began to acknowledge each other. An uncomfortable feeling settling in your stomach.
"Vyn! It's nice to see you again." She stretched her hand out to take Vyn's and he did the same, "This is the daycare center I've been managing." Her honey-laced voice was soothing to say the least, but you felt uneasy as you eyed their connected hands, you looked away.
"It suits your style," Vyn's eyes scanned the building to observe, "This seems like the good environment for the kids, you know your stuff." He flashed her a soft smile, and you fought back the urge to frown.
Vyn approached you one day to invite you to Mia's daycare, he had told you that Mia was a close friend from when they were classmates back at the university. She needed help with making the kids not cause so much ruckus so she seeked advice from a friend that knows how to handle the kids.
She must trust Vyn so much if he's the one that came to her mind in this situation, and you recalled the soft look in Vyn's eyes as he talked about reuniting with his friend.
You felt a pang in your heart.
Mia seemed to notice your presence, her head whipping in your direction, "So you brought a companion!" Her smile seem to grew wider, she glanced briefly at Vyn, then back to you, "It's nice to meet you." She reached out her hand and you took it, giving it a squeeze, "Vyn here has told me a lot about you. Like, a lot." She winked.
"Oh," You looked away from embarassment of her implications, Vyn told her a lot about you? "Nice to meet you too." you beamed at her, your eyes meeting her welcoming ones, she seems nice.
"Come in! Makes yourselves comfortable." Mia gestured the both of you to the door, she walked over and opened it with a click.
The door opens, and from one look, you already know how chaotic this day is going to be. Some of the kids were running around and playing with each other, some were bickering. The more reserved ones however, were quietly sitting at their desks, doodling stuff. Some girls were formed in a circle talking about who knows what, some others were eating, chocolate smearing their faces.
The scent of sweets permeated the air. The sound of laughter and quarelling rang on your ears. The colorful alphabet plastered across the walls greeted you as you begin to walk inside, animal drawings that were framed reminded you so much of your childhood.
From the nostalgic feeling the daycare gives off, you already felt at ease.
Vyn's eyes flickered on your form that's looking fondly at the drawings, You were spacing out, he noted.
Of course he'd notice, he pays attention to everything that you do, after all.
He scooted beside you, his hands making it's way to the small of your back to bring your attention to the kids that were now staring at the two of you with curious eyes, "Let's introduce ourselves."
You blushed at the heat of his palm on your back, and it made you hyper-aware of his presence, "Alright."
"Chaotic, right?" Mia smiled awkwardly, but you can tell from the look in her eyes that she's fond of her students, even though they're a bunch of troublemakers.
"Teacher, who's that?" a girl in pigtails ran over and asked with enthusiasm as she stared at Vyn.
"He's so handsome!" Another girl joined in, her eyes sparkling, and because of the attention you were receiving, everyone in the class began to surround you two.
A kid wearing jumpers tugged on Mia's blouse, "Is he your boyfriend?"
You gaped at the kid. Now, where did he get that idea?
"You got it wro-" Mia started to cross her arms and shook her head in an attempt to beat the children's allegations.
"Everyone," A raven-haired boy screamed, his voice echoing throughout the walls, "Teacher Mia has a boyfriend!" He announced.
Both you and Vyn's reactions were just "???" as everyone screamed with excitement.
You shook your head as they began to bombard Vyn questions, and when you said annoying kids, this was what you meant.
You try to fight back the bubbling feelings of jealousy in your chest and focused your attention on the sweets instead, grabbing some for yourself as a distraction.
Vyn opened his mouth to speak, "Everyone, please calm down." you expected the kids to just continue with their chaos but surprisingly, they went quiet and listened to Vyn.
Huh. You blinked. His charms really works wonders even in impossible situations. Even on stubborn children.
"We're here to have fun with everyone. Do you have any games you'd like to play?" He asked in the most calming voice as possible, to calm the kids down.
"I have an idea!" the same kid that made a boyfriend announcement to the whole class shouted, "Let's play house!" He suggested, proud of himself when he heard the others squeal in agreement.
You gulped and looked at Vyn, you already have an idea of where this is going.
"Sure. You decide the roles." Vyn smiled at them, and they all looked at him with huge grins on their faces.
"You be the dad! Miss Mia will be the mom!" the same kid from before pointed at the both of them with delight.
Hearing those words, you face palmed internally. Of course, they met Vyn once and they're already shipping him with their teacher.
I mean, they do look good together... You admit. You pictured them hand in hand, taking care of the kids together.
Maybe you really should just lock your feelings away for good...
Shaking away your thoughts, you looked over to the kids and they haven't payed attention to you yet ever since you came in. You just stood there, unnoticed.
Vyn took notice of this and he spoke, "That's fine and all, but shouldn't you guys give this lovely lady here a role as well?" You felt his hands snake on your waist to pull you to his chest, the proximity making your mind short circuit and face hot, "I very much prefer if she takes the role of my wife, you know." You didn't know it was possible for red cheeks to get redder when you realized what he just meant.
The kids groaned, "No! Teacher should be your wife!" an assertive one scoffed.
"Yeah, you two would make a lovely couple!" Another one agreed.
The children began arguing how it would make so much more sense if Mia was paired with Vyn, "I'm sorry you two..." Mia sighed and shot the both of you an apologetic look.
"It's all right." You pulled away from Vyn, still in the middle of calming your racing heart, "I'll be the maid or whatever."
He chuckled and gazed at your face intently, "If you say so." With that, the three of you sat with the kids on the carpeted floor.
The game started. At first, everything was going smoothly, the kids just asked their mom and dad to feed them, as it was already lunchtime.
You were peacefully eating as well when a familiar voice reached your ears, "Mr. Vyn, please feed miss Mia!" the same boy from before pleaded.
The food that you were swallowing began to block and clot your throat from hearing those words, making you cough. Everyone turned to you because of the noises you're making, "Don't mind me!" You forced a smile.
Vyn chuckled, you don't know if it's because of the kid's suggestion or your reaction, as you hurriedly gulped water to aid yourself.
"Sure." you widened your eyes when you heard Vyn's words, "Say ahh." Vyn held Mia's chin as she opened her mouth to receive the sweet dumpling.
You looked away, suddenly the texture and colors of the floor were interesting to you. The pink pastel meshed flawlessly with the sky blue carpet, it was eye-candy.
After admiring the soft hues of the floor, you looked up to see Vyn and Mia laughing at each other's dumpling stuffed cheeks, "We look like pandas." She snickered and poked at Vyn's cheeks.
What's so funny about that? You rolled your eyes, and turned your attention back on the floor, sulking.
Unbeknowst to you, Vyn and Mia's eyes were now on your form, sharing knowing smiles.
After some time, you actually got along with the kids really well, you helped them doodle stuff and even blew bubbles for them, they weren't as condenscending as before. Maybe they were only like that earlier because they didn't want another person to be with their teacher's boyfriend.
They're that fond of their teacher, you couldn't blame them, Mia is a lovely lady.
It's actually fun playing with the kids, you try to convince yourself that you're not distracting yourself from the lovey-dovey couple in front of you, as the little students kept asking them to do coupley things.
"You know I've been thinking," a girl with a chocolate smear on her face asked, "I want to see you two kiss." She declared so nonchalantly, as if it's the most casual thing a 4 year old can say ever.
You swiftly turned your head from the source of the voice and glared at the kid, but you faltered when you saw the raw innocence gleaming in her eyes.
Just... Why? You sighed.
Kids! They're mischievous and innocent at the same time!
"I won't eat my munchies if you don't kiss!" she added with a scoff.
"That's right!" The girl beside her pouted, "As the mommy and daddy, you should kiss!"
Hearing the word kiss, all the other kids began to surround Vyn and Mia with interest.
You were panicking, you desperately looked into Vyn's eyes to tell him silently, don't. You just stared at him while flapping your arms around to signal a no.
Vyn felt your eyes on him, his golden hues flickered on yours, they glimmered with amusement when he took in your expression. You just sat there stiff, blinking.
Then he smirked, there was a playful glint visible in his orbs as he turned back to the child and nodded, "As you wish."
WHAT.
You eyes almost jumped out of your sockets and you almost choked on your food for the second time today.
Mia eyed Vyn and you didn't notice how she looked at you the same playful look Vyn had gave you earlier.
"Kiss my cheeks, then, Dr. Richter." Mia scooted closer to him, their thighs touching, and your heart broke at the thought of Vyn's soft lips pecking her cheek.
Vyn was leaning close now, the moment he pulled Mia by the shoulders, you held your breath.
Before you could even think, "Stop!" you blurted out, voice resonating inside the whole daycare. You felt like that one character in a movie where they abruptly push the doors of the cathedral to stop a wedding from happening. It was quite the sight you pulled.
Everyone turned their heads on you, and you can feel the kids' eyes burning holes in your form.
Heat rose to your cheeks in embarassment as you looked at the kids one by one, all of them glaring at you.
"What's wrong, Y/N?" Vyn questioned, a smile on his lips.
"Uhh," You cleared your throat and shifted in your sitting position, "Isn't it. A bit inappropriate to kiss in front of the kids?" There's nothing inherently sexual about it, sure, but you had to come up with an excuse instead of revealing your real intentions.
"Is that really the reason? It's a harmless kiss on the cheeks." He then made his way to your side, "Don't tell me, you want to be kissed instead?"
You gulped from the pressure as everyone waited for an answer, "Yes." There's no going out of this, "You caught me..." you scratched your cheeks.
Vyn was silent for a few moments, you were starting to get unnerved and nobody was saying a thing.
"I'm so-" before you could finish, Vyn grabbed your hands onto his, the contact making your cheeks flush.
"She's actually my girlfriend now, everyone." He held your hands high, showing it to the kids, "She's your mom from now on. I won't take no as an answer." Your mind went frenzy, and your mouth gaped at his announcement, I'm his girlfriend now!?
Mia chuckled beside you two, "He's right!"
The kids looked at each other with amused expressions, then trained their eyes on you again, "Fine. She gave me tips on how to draw. I guess it's alright." a brunette crossed her arms with a pout.
"Me too," A soft voice chimed in, "She told me that board games are fun even when most of my friends say it's boring." The little kid smiled gratefully at you.
You bashfully rubbed your neck, "Thank you guys, I had fun playing with you as well. Everyone was nice." They seem to take pride in your compliment as they all huffed in agreement, some even flashed a bright, sunny grin at you.
Vyn squeezed your connected hands, "I'll make sure to shower you with kisses later, sweetheart." He ruffled your soft locks, butterflies fluttering in your stomach at his words, an uncontrollable smile forming on your expression.

His chestnut eyes went back to your teasing ones, "but to answer your question. No. I'm not planning anything. We can participate in the game without kissing, right?"

Because quite frankly, You don't want to kiss anyone but him.
"Next..."
Your ears perked up from the host's voice, you held your breath, your heart started to race as you focused your eyes on the box, hoping silently.
Please don't let it be Luke's.
The host took a breath and opened her mouth, "It's a camera!" Your heart dropped at her gleeful words.
You and Luke slowly turned your heads to look at each other almost in a comical way, shock forming on both of your features.
You turned your head left and right to scan the room and search whoever the owner of the hairclip was.
"Should I?" He glanced at you with a worried look in his eyes. You wonder why was he so worried, it's not like you're dating or anything.
You flashed him a reassuring smile, "We don't want them calling us party poopers." you fiddled with your fingers, "Also, if I ever got picked some time later I'm also going to participate you know!" you stuck your tongue at him.
He chuckled, and trailed off a quiet, "Yeah."
"To the owner of the hairclip and camera, please come forward!" The host announced with playfulness lacing her tone, flashing a big grin to everyone.
Luke shot a look at you, and you smiled while nodding, "go get your first kiss." you chuckled. You were amazed that it was possible for you to say those words aloud without frowning.
Of course you didn't mean that.
Luke stood up, his eyes scanning the room in search for his partner, who then revealed themself from the sitting crowd.
It was Jess, and you could only gulp when you remembered who she was back in high school.
She was your number one client when talking about your famous reputation as a wingperson back then. She would strike up a conversation with you everyday to ask random things about Luke, she was consistent even though Luke kept turning her down, and she only stopped when you graduated.
She's wearing pretty revealing clothes, cleavage coming out of her tank top, her skin smooth as porcelain as she skipped over to Luke's direction.
She's stunning.
Jess put her hands on Luke's shoulders, pressing her body to his, "Long time no see." she began batting her eyelashes at Luke and you can only scream internally from how badly you wanted to be in her place.
Seeing this unfold in front of your eyes, you were already dying inside from jealousy.
You couldn't imagine what you would feel if they took a step further than this. Like kissing or making out. You couldn't handle it, not even in your imagination.
You were going to follow them there.
The two made their way to the house's walk in closet, you were sure Jess was going to do whatever it takes to get close with Luke. You waited for a solid minute before making your move.
Glancing cautiously at the host to avoid getting caught, you began to walk your way to follow Luke and the girl. You let out a sigh of relief when nobody noticed you walked out of the door.
As you walked down the hallway, your heart was racing as you thought to yourself, Am I really doing this!?
You were now in front of the closet's door. No turning back.
Poking your head inside the room, you deliberately took steps in a form of tiptoes, and your eyes adjusted to the dim light of the walk-in closet.
You flinched when you heard a thud, and you could hear Luke's voice yelling, "Hey!"
Your careful steps turned into frenzied brisk towards the source of the noise, and you could only stare when you saw two bodies on the floor, Jess on top of Luke, already dipping down to give him a kiss.
"I can please you tonight, let me." She said in the sultriest voice you've heard your entire life, that you were sure every man was going to give in to her advances.
Luke put his hands on Jess' shoulder, "Please get off me." but the girl just persisted, rubbing her body against Luke desperately.
She leaned closer to his ear, "I want you," She moaned as she continued grinding on him, "I'm very good in bed, I promise."
You were going to vomit at the scene happening before you.
Luke pushed her away with enough force to seperate the two of them, "Well, I don't want yo-" He was cut off when his eyes caught sight of your gaping form.
"Y/N!" He stood up and made his way over to you, eyes meeting yours in panic, "This isn't what you think it is!"
"I didn't say anything..." You choked out.
He sighed, "Y/N, it's a misunderstanding. She pinned me down, I was going to push her away, I swear." He furrowed his brows, "Wait," He noticed the unshed tears in your eyes, making his heart break, "Are you jealous?" He blinked.
You looked away, "Yes. I am. What now?" You would be surprised at your confession if not for the jealous feelings brewing inside you.
He took your hand in his, "Why?" He then rubbed comforting circles, the heat giving you comfort.
"Im in love with you, Luke." The words you held in back for so long were finally out, "I didn't want to make things awkward between us so I never told you anything." This was a huge confession, but you felt more relieved than anything, glad that you already let him know how you feel.
He was just staring at you in silence, and you hurriedly searched ideas on how to break the awkward ice, "The game is still ongoing," you glanced at Jess who's now looking dejected on the floor, "Keep playing with her."
"What if," His hand moved up to your cheek, "I wanted to play with you instead?"
"What?" your mouth gaped.
Before you could even think, he placed his other hand on your waist to pull you closer, your chests bumped, and his lips landed on your parted ones.
Warmth engulfed you, and you closed your eyes from the tingles that went up to your spine. You felt your knees buckle beneath you, you were going to fall if not for the strong arms supporting you.
Luke pulled away, "Ah," he licked his lips, "I finally got my first kiss." He whispered with a grin.
"Luke, wha-" You didn't know what to think, your long-time crush just kissed you, and you getting dizzy from the drunken feeling of the kiss doesn't help.
"Ugh!" You and Luke turned your heads to look at Jess, who's now stomping out of the room.
Luke turned his attention to you, "I'm in love with you, too."
Vyn Richter
Would realize immediately if you're being jealous
He finds it endearing that the person he likes could possibly feel the same about him?
Anyways, you two have been friends for a while now, and you would always come with him to anywhere, be it vacation, or work related outings, he would always invite you to come with him "as good friends"
Ugh, please date already
With his mysterious charms, it's inevitable that there are people who would approach vyn with romantic intentions in mind
I MEAN WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS SEXY MEGANE, CARD READING PROFESSOR WITH A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE
But most of the time he just turns them down
So you've never really felt jealous with anyone before because as far as you're concerned, there's nobody that close to vyn as you
Are you sure about that?
"Do you like kids, Y/N?" Vyn tilted his head to the sky, squinting his eyes at the bright light, and he felt the sunny breeze drag on his hair like a soothing caress.
You kicked a stone from the sidewalk as you strolled, "Depends," you look over at him, admiring the dispersing sunlight on his silver locks. If it's with you, then it's fine. You wanted to say out loud.
Heat rose to your cheeks at the silly thoughts and you shooed them away as you continued, "Um, some are cute, some are plain annoying," your eyes move to look at down at the stone path, "but they're not that bad I guess."
He puts a fist to cover his mouth and chuckled, the sound creating butterflies on your stomach as his voice reached your ears, "Your opinion on kids is understandable," He shook his head with a smile, "They can be quite a handful."
You were about to open your mouth to agree when your eyes caught a sign plastered in a pastel colored house, labeled Mia's daycare.
The both of you stopped in your tracks, "Is this the place?" You peeked on the windows to see silhouettes of bodies running about through the soft blue color of the curtains, "My patience is ready." you readied yourself for the chaos about to ensue.
Vyn dialled something on his phone, before putting it on his ear, "We're here." He told the person at the end of the line.
After a few moments, the door of the daycare spilled a woman out, about the same age as Vyn, her beaming grin blinding like the sunshine cascading down from the sky.
You took her appearance in, slim figure clad in a teacher uniform, blouse and skirt hugging her curves right. Her make up gives her a certain glow paired with the soft yellow rays of lights coming from above. To top it off, a cute smile.
She's gorgeous.
You stood there awkwardly as the two old friends began to acknowledge each other. An uncomfortable feeling settling in your stomach.
"Vyn! It's nice to see you again." She stretched her hand out to take Vyn's and he did the same, "This is the daycare center I've been managing." Her honey-laced voice was soothing to say the least, but you felt uneasy as you eyed their connected hands, you looked away.
"It suits your style," Vyn's eyes scanned the building to observe, "This seems like the good environment for the kids, you know your stuff." He flashed her a soft smile, and you fought back the urge to frown.
Vyn approached you one day to invite you to Mia's daycare, he had told you that Mia was a close friend from when they were classmates back at the university. She needed help with making the kids not cause so much ruckus so she seeked advice from a friend that knows how to handle the kids.
She must trust Vyn so much if he's the one that came to her mind in this situation, and you recalled the soft look in Vyn's eyes as he talked about reuniting with his friend.
You felt a pang in your heart.
Mia seemed to notice your presence, her head whipping in your direction, "So you brought a companion!" Her smile seem to grew wider, she glanced briefly at Vyn, then back to you, "It's nice to meet you." She reached out her hand and you took it, giving it a squeeze, "Vyn here has told me a lot about you. Like, a lot." She winked.
"Oh," You looked away from embarassment of her implications, Vyn told her a lot about you? "Nice to meet you too." you beamed at her, your eyes meeting her welcoming ones, she seems nice.
"Come in! Makes yourselves comfortable." Mia gestured the both of you to the door, she walked over and opened it with a click.
The door opens, and from one look, you already know how chaotic this day is going to be. Some of the kids were running around and playing with each other, some were bickering. The more reserved ones however, were quietly sitting at their desks, doodling stuff. Some girls were formed in a circle talking about who knows what, some others were eating, chocolate smearing their faces.
The scent of sweets permeated the air. The sound of laughter and quarelling rang on your ears. The colorful alphabet plastered across the walls greeted you as you begin to walk inside, animal drawings that were framed reminded you so much of your childhood.
From the nostalgic feeling the daycare gives off, you already felt at ease.
Vyn's eyes flickered on your form that's looking fondly at the drawings, You were spacing out, he noted.
Of course he'd notice, he pays attention to everything that you do, after all.
He scooted beside you, his hands making it's way to the small of your back to bring your attention to the kids that were now staring at the two of you with curious eyes, "Let's introduce ourselves."
You blushed at the heat of his palm on your back, and it made you hyper-aware of his presence, "Alright."
"Chaotic, right?" Mia smiled awkwardly, but you can tell from the look in her eyes that she's fond of her students, even though they're a bunch of troublemakers.
"Teacher, who's that?" a girl in pigtails ran over and asked with enthusiasm as she stared at Vyn.
"He's so handsome!" Another girl joined in, her eyes sparkling, and because of the attention you were receiving, everyone in the class began to surround you two.
A kid wearing jumpers tugged on Mia's blouse, "Is he your boyfriend?"
You gaped at the kid. Now, where did he get that idea?
"You got it wro-" Mia started to cross her arms and shook her head in an attempt to beat the children's allegations.
"Everyone," A raven-haired boy screamed, his voice echoing throughout the walls, "Teacher Mia has a boyfriend!" He announced.
Both you and Vyn's reactions were just "???" as everyone screamed with excitement.
You shook your head as they began to bombard Vyn questions, and when you said annoying kids, this was what you meant.
You try to fight back the bubbling feelings of jealousy in your chest and focused your attention on the sweets instead, grabbing some for yourself as a distraction.
Vyn opened his mouth to speak, "Everyone, please calm down." you expected the kids to just continue with their chaos but surprisingly, they went quiet and listened to Vyn.
Huh. You blinked. His charms really works wonders even in impossible situations. Even on stubborn children.
"We're here to have fun with everyone. Do you have any games you'd like to play?" He asked in the most calming voice as possible, to calm the kids down.
"I have an idea!" the same kid that made a boyfriend announcement to the whole class shouted, "Let's play house!" He suggested, proud of himself when he heard the others squeal in agreement.
You gulped and looked at Vyn, you already have an idea of where this is going.
"Sure. You decide the roles." Vyn smiled at them, and they all looked at him with huge grins on their faces.
"You be the dad! Miss Mia will be the mom!" the same kid from before pointed at the both of them with delight.
Hearing those words, you face palmed internally. Of course, they met Vyn once and they're already shipping him with their teacher.
I mean, they do look good together... You admit. You pictured them hand in hand, taking care of the kids together.
Maybe you really should just lock your feelings away for good...
Shaking away your thoughts, you looked over to the kids and they haven't payed attention to you yet ever since you came in. You just stood there, unnoticed.
Vyn took notice of this and he spoke, "That's fine and all, but shouldn't you guys give this lovely lady here a role as well?" You felt his hands snake on your waist to pull you to his chest, the proximity making your mind short circuit and face hot, "I very much prefer if she takes the role of my wife, you know." You didn't know it was possible for red cheeks to get redder when you realized what he just meant.
The kids groaned, "No! Teacher should be your wife!" an assertive one scoffed.
"Yeah, you two would make a lovely couple!" Another one agreed.
The children began arguing how it would make so much more sense if Mia was paired with Vyn, "I'm sorry you two..." Mia sighed and shot the both of you an apologetic look.
"It's all right." You pulled away from Vyn, still in the middle of calming your racing heart, "I'll be the maid or whatever."
He chuckled and gazed at your face intently, "If you say so." With that, the three of you sat with the kids on the carpeted floor.
The game started. At first, everything was going smoothly, the kids just asked their mom and dad to feed them, as it was already lunchtime.
You were peacefully eating as well when a familiar voice reached your ears, "Mr. Vyn, please feed miss Mia!" the same boy from before pleaded.
The food that you were swallowing began to block and clot your throat from hearing those words, making you cough. Everyone turned to you because of the noises you're making, "Don't mind me!" You forced a smile.
Vyn chuckled, you don't know if it's because of the kid's suggestion or your reaction, as you hurriedly gulped water to aid yourself.
"Sure." you widened your eyes when you heard Vyn's words, "Say ahh." Vyn held Mia's chin as she opened her mouth to receive the sweet dumpling.
You looked away, suddenly the texture and colors of the floor were interesting to you. The pink pastel meshed flawlessly with the sky blue carpet, it was eye-candy.
After admiring the soft hues of the floor, you looked up to see Vyn and Mia laughing at each other's dumpling stuffed cheeks, "We look like pandas." She snickered and poked at Vyn's cheeks.
What's so funny about that? You rolled your eyes, and turned your attention back on the floor, sulking.
Unbeknowst to you, Vyn and Mia's eyes were now on your form, sharing knowing smiles.
After some time, you actually got along with the kids really well, you helped them doodle stuff and even blew bubbles for them, they weren't as condenscending as before. Maybe they were only like that earlier because they didn't want another person to be with their teacher's boyfriend.
They're that fond of their teacher, you couldn't blame them, Mia is a lovely lady.
It's actually fun playing with the kids, you try to convince yourself that you're not distracting yourself from the lovey-dovey couple in front of you, as the little students kept asking them to do coupley things.
"You know I've been thinking," a girl with a chocolate smear on her face asked, "I want to see you two kiss." She declared so nonchalantly, as if it's the most casual thing a 4 year old can say ever.
You swiftly turned your head from the source of the voice and glared at the kid, but you faltered when you saw the raw innocence gleaming in her eyes.
Just... Why? You sighed.
Kids! They're mischievous and innocent at the same time!
"I won't eat my munchies if you don't kiss!" she added with a scoff.
"That's right!" The girl beside her pouted, "As the mommy and daddy, you should kiss!"
Hearing the word kiss, all the other kids began to surround Vyn and Mia with interest.
You were panicking, you desperately looked into Vyn's eyes to tell him silently, don't. You just stared at him while flapping your arms around to signal a no.
Vyn felt your eyes on him, his golden hues flickered on yours, they glimmered with amusement when he took in your expression. You just sat there stiff, blinking.
Then he smirked, there was a playful glint visible in his orbs as he turned back to the child and nodded, "As you wish."
WHAT.
You eyes almost jumped out of your sockets and you almost choked on your food for the second time today.
Mia eyed Vyn and you didn't notice how she looked at you the same playful look Vyn had gave you earlier.
"Kiss my cheeks, then, Dr. Richter." Mia scooted closer to him, their thighs touching, and your heart broke at the thought of Vyn's soft lips pecking her cheek.
Vyn was leaning close now, the moment he pulled Mia by the shoulders, you held your breath.
Before you could even think, "Stop!" you blurted out, voice resonating inside the whole daycare. You felt like that one character in a movie where they abruptly push the doors of the cathedral to stop a wedding from happening. It was quite the sight you pulled.
Everyone turned their heads on you, and you can feel the kids' eyes burning holes in your form.
Heat rose to your cheeks in embarassment as you looked at the kids one by one, all of them glaring at you.
"What's wrong, Y/N?" Vyn questioned, a smile on his lips.
"Uhh," You cleared your throat and shifted in your sitting position, "Isn't it. A bit inappropriate to kiss in front of the kids?" There's nothing inherently sexual about it, sure, but you had to come up with an excuse instead of revealing your real intentions.
"Is that really the reason? It's a harmless kiss on the cheeks." He then made his way to your side, "Don't tell me, you want to be kissed instead?"
You gulped from the pressure as everyone waited for an answer, "Yes." There's no going out of this, "You caught me..." you scratched your cheeks.
Vyn was silent for a few moments, you were starting to get unnerved and nobody was saying a thing.
"I'm so-" before you could finish, Vyn grabbed your hands onto his, the contact making your cheeks flush.
"She's actually my girlfriend now, everyone." He held your hands high, showing it to the kids, "She's your mom from now on. I won't take no as an answer." Your mind went frenzy, and your mouth gaped at his announcement, I'm his girlfriend now!?
Mia chuckled beside you two, "He's right!"
The kids looked at each other with amused expressions, then trained their eyes on you again, "Fine. She gave me tips on how to draw. I guess it's alright." a brunette crossed her arms with a pout.
"Me too," A soft voice chimed in, "She told me that board games are fun even when most of my friends say it's boring." The little kid smiled gratefully at you.
You bashfully rubbed your neck, "Thank you guys, I had fun playing with you as well. Everyone was nice." They seem to take pride in your compliment as they all huffed in agreement, some even flashed a bright, sunny grin at you.
Vyn squeezed your connected hands, "I'll make sure to shower you with kisses later, sweetheart." He ruffled your soft locks, butterflies fluttering in your stomach at his words, an uncontrollable smile forming on your expression.
You tug on the soft fabric of your formal wear a bit self-consciously, the sounds of people merrily talking, chatting, laughing enough to grate your ears, the light above hurts your eyes, strong and lighting up every bit of the room, unblinking stares prick at every inch of your skin and you resist the urge to shift in your seat again.
You survey the surroundings, but find no sign of Artem. You sigh, frowning, knitting your brows together hard enough to hurt your forehead. You quietly take a glass of champagne, the liquid glistening even more under the blinding lights of the numerous chandeliers dotting the dome ceiling, and you find slight comfort in the cool glass and fruity scent.
Then, footsteps near your table, you look up and find Artem’s prim and proper figure.
“Good evening, Artem,” you give him a smile, “Did you arrive just now?”
“Yes, I’m sorry I’m late,” he takes a seat beside you and reciprocates your smile, “There was—ah, some trouble along the way here.”
He doesn’t elaborate, and you don’t really wish for him to, still wanting to bask in his company just a bit more.
You talk more until the beginnings of a song comes in, the glamorous notes of violins and piano rings across the room. You watch as people begin to split into pairs, giving each other looks you think might have been flirty, shy smiles and laughter.
It is only after the first dance had ended and before the second dance starts did you hear a screech coming to your right. You glance to find Artem carefully tugging at his tie, he coughs under your stare. Is it just you or doesn’t he look... nervous about something?
“Artem?”
He takes a deep breath and mumbles something quietly, you call his name again and he closes his eyes for a moment, before opening them again, he offers you a hand, looking the picture perfect of a gentleman asking for a—
“Can I have this dance?”
“Oh,” you stare at his open, expectant palm, “oh, you may.”
