Author's Note: IWBSIWHS MY FIRST REQUEST YAYA TYSM PIICHIN <333
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
No words could come close to describing how todayâs mission made you feel.
Your body ached like crazy; not given a proper opportunity to rest after the previous mission you didnât even want to think about right now.
It felt like your nerves were on fire. You could feel each time your heart pumped blood to the tips of your fingers; evidence of a victory well earned. Your stomach buzzed with that dull, aching pain that only guaranteed nausea was bound to follow (top ten worst human experiences).
Not to mention⊠the weird gifts youâve been receiving. Every night, something as small as a handwritten note to as big as a box of chocolates was left at your door. No sender, no evidence, and no idea who it is. The only âclueâ left behind was a terribly drawn car left on every note.
The whole thing honestly freaked you out a bit⊠but make no mistakeâ those chocolates were eviscerated by morning without fail.
Today⊠felt like a sharp, searing, agonizing pain that shot itself through your chest a million times over. A harsh reminder that no matter how many times you tried to forget, you were still painfully human.
Or⊠was that the feeling Enjin gave you whenever he glanced your way?
Your heart immediately picked up speedâ the mere thought of that man suddenly had your mind in a relentless chokehold that rendered breathing a near impossible task.
You⊠didnât like him that much, right?
Not the way heâd laugh, or his sassy remarks. Nor the way he just radiates raw, unadulterated confidence⊠or the way heâd wear his blonde down that frames his face just perfectly. Orâ
Tommeâs soft spoken cadence tore you from your daydream; pulling you back into the reality that your brain had desperately tried to forget about in favor of the man that plagued your mind.
AhâŠright. You were in the elevator. Your team had just gotten finished with a mission that bled into overtime due to some unforeseen circumstances. Working overtime usually didnât bother you as much as it did your teammates, but when it puts this much strain on your body? You couldnât help but get at least a little irritated.
You looked over at your friend. Her gentle eyes searched yours for any signs of pain or discomfort.
âYour face is turning red⊠whatâs wrongâ do you have a fever?â
Now that she mentioned it⊠you were heating up. Your hand shot up to your burning face. Fuck, is this how you looked everytime Enjin popped into that lovesick head of yours?
Thereâs no way Tomme can know about this.
ââŠI think Iâm justâŠstressed,â
You flash a worried smile at her, bullets of sweat racing down your face like youâve just ran a marathon without taking breaks whatsoever. You really werenât a good liar.
âI-Iâll be okay, though. You donât have to worry.â
Tommeâs brows knitted together in even more concern than before. Sheâs perceptiveâ almost to a terrifying degree. A great trait to have⊠if you werenât a dirty liar hiding the biggest secret of your life.
You braced yourself for her to say something along the lines of: âpeopleâs faces donât get red just from stress aloneâ or âyou should probably see Eishia about thatâ (and you know she would make damn sure your ass is lying in a bed before the day ended).
As if the universe itself heard your plea⊠Tomme didnât question you further. She simply sighed, that worried look on her face mellowing out to something more⊠parental.
âIf⊠you say so. Looks like some of that redness is fading away anyhowâŠâ
Tomme flashed you that kind smile youâve grown to cherish. She was your first friend when you joined as a Supporter. She was truly the only person who made you feel wanted.
âBut⊠I want you to stay by me just in case your face turns red again, okay? Just so I can keep an eye on it.â
âAh⊠right. Got it.â
The elevator door opened with a cheerful âding!â. Everyone filed out, eager to unwind after a stressful day. You and Tomme were the last ones to walk out.
Fresh air hit immediately filled your lungsâ a very welcomed surprise and a stark difference to the methane-ammonia laced oxygen outside.
Tomme turns to you with a smile on her face.
âIâm gunna go shower. Iâll meetâchu in the Common Room afterwards, âkay?â
âAlright. Cya. Andâ uhâ thanks for⊠lookinâ out for me, Tomme. I, umm, appreciate itâŠI guessâŠ?â
Gosh, you were horrible at thisâ whole⊠sentimental thing. Expressing yourself in a manner that sounded sincere wasnât exactly your specialty⊠it made you seem a bit disingenuous at timesâ you swore you werenât doing it on purpose! Talking just⊠came harder for you.
But thatâs what you loved about Tomme.
She understood right off the bat you werenât trying to be distant or rudeâ quite the opposite, actuallyâ you were trying to connect with someoneâ to make friends with somebody who wouldnât push you away. Unfortunately for you, your efforts often backfired.
Tommeâs observant personality was a perfect match for your standoffish one; she understood you on a deeper level than you knew yourself sometimes. In a⊠scary but reassuring way.
You wondered⊠if Enjin would understand you the same way Tomme did.
Tomme gave a soft grin, a smile that just warmed your heart.
âOf course. Thatâs what friends are for, right?â
Tommeâs gentle hands took yours, fingers intertwining. Your eyes met hers for a split second before bashfully looking anywhere but her eyes. The women chuckled a bit, amused by your shy antics.
âYou can talk to me about anything. Iâve got your back, Rookie.â
Tomme happily nodded once more, releasing your hand in the process. She waved you goodbye as she walked away, leaving you alone with your own thoughts.
You walked back to your room, the hallways seemed to stretch endlessly as your feet made a half assed efforts to keep you upright. Everything hurt. Itâs a miracle how you managed to drag yourself to your door without tumbling over.
Eventually, your hand met the cold metal of your doorknob, barely even noticing the neatly wrapped chocolate box on at your feet.
Wait⊠chocolate? Another?
You squinted your eyes; you definitely werenât seeing things. That is indeed a heart-shaped chocolate box.
With a small sigh, you painstakingly bend over and swiped the box. Your back screamed in protestâ full achy pains shocked your spine as you rolled back upwards with a crack!
You werenât even that old⊠whatâs with the back problems already?
With a sore body and chocolates in hand, you push open your door⊠shutting it behind you.
ăâăâïžâăăâ
Whatâs a hard day's work without a warm shower?
Well, the water wasnât warm. Your shower was busted, so cold showers were the best the world had to offer.
At least you had running water to begin with. Still.
Cool water dribbled down your neck and shoulders as you stood staring at⊠nothing in particular. Today had been⊠a lot. Constantly on your feet, fighting trash beasts⊠Enjin on your mind 24/7.
Your face immediately grew crimson red.
ââŠGod. Must he always pop into mind at the most inconvenient of times?â You thought to yourself. âI⊠seriously have a problemâŠâ
But itâs not your faultâ! People had their vices; reasons to keep waking up in the morning⊠risking their lives and whatnot. Your reason just happens to be⊠a handsome blonde with pretty eyes andâ
Your hands flew to your hairâ nails digging into your scalp as your jaw locked in place out of sheer embarrassment and frustration.
Why⊠why canât you just crush on someone normally?
Why is it every night you wish for him to hold you?
Why is it everyday you pray for the courage to go up to him like a normal person and talk?
Why is it always when youâre at your lowest, you long to cry into his chest all night till you feel fucking numb inside?
Your slowly fist unclenches your hair from its vice-like grip. Turning off the shower head, your body automatically slouches backwards onto the wall.
This wasnât healthy anymore. This was tearing you apart from the inside out.
But what were you to do? Just⊠tell Enjin how you felt?
âNo. Absolutely not. Terrible idea.â You thought to yourself. âThis stays between me, myself, and I.â
But⊠how much time could you take living like this? How many nights alone could you spend cursing yourself to death for not taking advantage of countless opportunities to talkâ not confessâ just talk. Like a normal person.
God⊠youâre hopeless.
Stepping out of the shower, you sulk your way to the mirror.
âŠYou looked a mess. Hair askew⊠large, dark eye bags, hollow cheeks⊠no way would Enjin like you in this state (if he even reciprocated those feelings back to you, that is).
âŠYou werenât exactly a âhot chickâ, either. You looked more like a⊠wet cat. A sad, wet cat. No one liked sad, wet cats.
Oh no, people liked adorable, confident cats.
âŠDid Enjin even like cats? Doesnât matter! Stupid analogy, anywayâ you werenât a catâ you were a man! And you were gonna be the best goddamn man you could be! Not just for Enjin, but for yourself.
A sudden surge of confidence rushed through your veinsâ what were you doing just sulking here like a wilted flower?
You were going to march up to Enjin, grab him by his shoulders, andâ
âN-No, not a good idea, either.â
A second, more civilized, thought came to mind: get him alone and start a normal conversation. Then⊠tell him how you feel. The worst thing that could happen was him saying he doesnât feel the same way. Boom! The world kept spinning. Easy. Right? Right.
You smiled to yourself. Where did all this newfound confidence come from? You felt like a new man.
You picked yourself up and quickly got dried and dressed. Dinner should be ready soon⊠perfect time to strike up a very normal, friendly conversation.
Right. This was going to be great. You felt greatâ hell, more than greatâ you felt unstoppable.
This was definitely to be the highlight of your lifeâ for better or for worse.
But hey, if things did go wrong, you always have those chocolates to fall back on. Pure sugar makes everyone feel better.
...Though, one or two couldn't hurt right now.
ăâăâïžâăăâ
The dining room buzzed to life with the sound of laughter. Fellow teammates you fought alongside sharing drinks and meals together like old pals.
You usually sat as close to the corner as possible away from where most people would congregate⊠but tonight? You sat dead center of the room. Thankfully⊠nobody seemed to notice (or care). Well⊠exceptâŠ
âAh, this is new, isnât it?â
A familiar voice rang from behind you. Whipping your head around, your eyes set upon your best friend: Tomme.
She gave a respectful nod and took a seat next to you.
âYou donât usually sit here.â
Tomme tilted her head like a curious puppy.
Your eyes dart to the table adjacent from the one you sat at. Enjin was sitting thereâ with Rudo (begrudgingly) sitting next to him. Riyo and Zanka were also present, though⊠seemed less engaged in whatever conversation Enjin and Rudo were having.
God⊠his smile was everything.
âN-No. I just wanted to sit here.â
You finally answered Tomme with a slightly more serious tone. Not rudeâ never rudeâ just⊠more sure of yourself.
Tomme lifted a brow, looking quite smug. Your face heated up in embarrassmentâ had she found out your secret just by the way you glanced at Enjinâ!? Noâ impossible. Even someone of her caliber, thereâs no way someone could ever tell what you thought just by a single glance.
âW-Whatâs that look forâ?â
âMmm, nothing, nothing,â
âYouâre messing with me,â
âIâm not. Trust me!â
ââŠI have no faith in you whatsoever, Tomme. That smile means youâre up to no good,â
âThatâs why I said itâŠâ
Tomme let out an unflattering snort, playfully punching your arm with a smile on her face. You found yourself genuinely smiling, too.
âHaâ! Okayyy, câmon, now. Whereâs my old, shy Rookie? Whatâd you do with him?â
Your cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.
âH-Hahâ? What are you t-talking about? This is the real me!â
âMmmâŠ.okay, okay. Iâll believe you. For now.â
Tomme gave you a sly chuckle before beginning to eat her food.
A sigh escaped you right afterwards; your heart rate coming down after Tomme damn near gave you a heart attack.
You considered her words. âWhereâs my old, shy Rookie?â. After youâve hyped yourself up in the mirror a few hours ago⊠was the change in demeanor really that noticeable? Now that you think about it, that moment just now was the most youâve ever laughed in a short amount of time in a very long while (which⊠felt quite sad in hindsight). Maybe you should smile moreâŠ
Your eyes subconsciously drifted back to Enjinâs back. He wore his hair down this time; dawning that baggy red sweater.
Damn⊠everything he does is so attractive⊠even when heâs not doing anything!
âHey⊠question. If you donât mind answering,â
Tommeâs voice suddenly interrupted your thoughts. Her voice was mellow now, a serious edge to it that would usually pull you out of whatever train of thought was taking you to.
This⊠was not one of those times.
âMmâŠy-yeahâŠwhatâs upâŠ?â
You⊠werenât paying much attention. Your eyes darted to Tomme for a split second before wandering back to a certain blonde, smitten. You watched as his hair swayed and bounced every time he laughed. The way his lips twitched upwards, preparing for a snarky remark that was guaranteed to make Rudo blow a fuse. His movements were so hypnotic⊠you might as well been a moth drawn to a light.
âDo you have a crush on Enjin?â
Your brain took a moment to register what she said. You almost didnât believe your ears. This wasnât real.
Your head snapped to Tomme in an instantâ your face exploded vermilion.
You couldnât even speak correctlyâ every breath suddenly fell short. You didnât even notice your hands shaking until the glass in your hand started tapping the table with fast paced âclick click clicks!â.
You werenât even mad. Just⊠in utter disbelief. Flabbergasted. Beyond embarrassed. Your eyes dart around the roomâ making damn sure no one heard Tomme. Luckily⊠no one batted an eye.
âH-How did⊠y-you knowâŠ??â
You sputtered out in cracked sentences.
âHey, hey⊠calm down, okay?â
âYouâreâŠshakingâŠâ
âMât-totally fineâŠ!â
Tomme reached out, putting a hand over your wrist to stop the glass from tapping the table. You lowered your head to obscure your face. Even that didnât hide how red your face was.
âIâI mean⊠I dunnoâŠâ
You werenât exactly denying the question⊠nor were you verbally confirming it, either.
You couldnât thinkâ thoughts came and went, clashing into each other, fighting for dominance. Your head suddenly felt like cementâŠ
But⊠one memory came to mind. Two important sentences you had thought were insignificant until now.
âYou can talk to me about anything. Iâve got your back, Rookie.â
Tommeâs words from earlier.
Now, Tomme never lied to you. Never. She was the most truthful person youâve met in your lifeâ never made promises she knew she couldnât keep.
So⊠what would be the harm of telling her this one thing? Well⊠a lot if anyone heard your confession.
You glanced back up at Tomme who was patiently waiting for a response. Her eyes held no judgement.
Swallowing down your nerves, you force the words past your lips.
Tomme simply nodded once, her expression remaining neutral. You could tell she was trying to be extremely mindful with her body language. To her credit⊠she was doing an excellent job; you didnât feel an ounce of judgement from her at all.
âH-Howâd you knowâŠ? W-Was it that obviousâ? Shit, do you think Enjin knows??"
âAhâ no, no, not at all,â
Tomme suddenly straightened her postureâ her expression now dawned an extremelyâ almost comicalâ serious look to it.
âIâm psychic. That's all."
You blinked. Psychic? She wasnât⊠being serious⊠right? The look on her face suggested otherwise.
Tomme's expression shifted; her face relaxed into a playful grin⊠as if she was trying to lighten the mood for your sake.
ââŠE-EhhâŠ?? UhmâŠâ
Tomme giggled, resting her cheek on her palm.
âNo, no. Iâm not psychic, donât worry. I just have really good intuition.â
âA-AhâŠsoâŠh-howâŠ?â
The question died in your throat, but Tomme got the memo anyway.
âOhh, well, the way your face turns red whenever you look at him is a good place to start.â
âO-Okayâ thatâs enoughââ
The reason why Tomme didnât press you further why your face was red when you got back from the mission suddenly made a lot more sense.
Tomme smiled as you covered your face in embarrassment. She regarded you for a small moment⊠choosing her next words very carefully⊠vague enough that if someone did overhear, theyâd have no clue what you two were talking about.
âAaah⊠about⊠two months now, IâI thinkâŠ?â
As she considered Tomme her next words, you could see the metaphysical cogs slowly turning⊠you could never guess what was going on inside that head of hers.
Your mind wandered back to the mysterious chocolate box left at your door earlier. It drove you absolutely mad that you didnât know who it was⊠you never saw anyone at your doorâ let alone anyone with a comically large box of chocolates wandering around HQ. Your eyes drifted to the woman next to you.
With all the courage packed within your being, you slowly turn to her.
âUh⊠w-weird questionâ but have you seen anyone carry âround⊠boxes of chocolate recently?? Perhaps??â
Tommeâs eyes met yours in a blink of an eye.
ââŠYou donât sound too sure of yourself.â
âEhâŠ? You're the one to talk, Mister Indecisive!â
You playfully shove her arm with a strained smile on your face. Tomme, yet again, gave an unflattering snort.
âOh, s-shut up! Okay, fine⊠youâre off the hook, Miss Bookworm.â
Tomme flashed a triumphant smile as you pouted childishly. You loved moments like this⊠playful banter with Tomme just made your day; no matter how horrid or painful of a day you had. Itâs antagonistic on both ends, so no harm done. You both knew when to dial it back and when to push each other's buttons.Â
Tommeâs laughter eventually faded into a mellow smile, glancing at you from her peripheral.
âOh, by the way⊠I promised Gris Iâd help him with something tonight. You gunna be okay by yourself?â
âO-Oh, yeah, Iâll be alright. Thanks for⊠t-telling me. I better get going too. Tell Gris I said hi.â
âYou got it, Rookie.â
You stood up with a respectful nod.Â
âMhm, see you tomorrow!â
You gave Tomme a respectful nod as you picked yourself off the chair, turning a heel towards the exit. You kept your head down while maneuvering through crowds of bodiesâ which⊠happened to be a bad decision.
Your chest abruptly collided with something solid. And warm.
Your first instinct was to naturally apologize⊠your second instinct was to book it down the hall and try to forget it happened.
You mumbled under your breath, now mapping a route to escape as fast as humanly possible.
âOh, shit, my badâ didnât see you there. You okay?â
That voice⊠it wasnât the voice of just another personâ it was the voice of someone you grew to loveâ one you knew all too well⊠a voice that had drilled itself into your very being.
The voice ofâ dare sayâ an angel? Music to your ears?
Enjin turned his full attention to you, flashing that smile that just made your knees weak.
âOh, hey! I was lookinâ for you earlier today after you got back from your mission. Howâd it go?â
You swore your pupils were as blown up as a balloon when you saw his face⊠his mustard-yellow eyes locking with yours.
Enjin. The man of your dreams. Literally and figuratively.
Blood immediately rushed to your face. Swallowing back what felt like rocks stuck in your throat, you try and formulate a response.
âIâI uhâ yeahâ! Hehâ everything w-went well!â
âFuck, fuck, FUCK was I too loud?? Am I weirding him out?? Just act normalâ just actââ
Wait. Enjin was looking for you? You? What good deed must youâve done for the universe to reward you with Enjinâs full undivided attention? This was truly unheard of⊠you kept your head down most the time; there was no reason for someone to hunt you down all afternoon.
No, no. Donât get your hopes up. It wasnât that.
ââŠY-You wereâŠlooking for me?â
Enjin nodded, his hand now resting on his hip while the other found the back of his neck.
âYeahh. I need to talk to you about something. Itâs⊠important. Dâya got time later tonight?â
Your eyes instantly dart over to Tomme. She was speaking to Gris nowâ back turned to you. No use getting her attention. But⊠you knew if she saw you now, this is definitely what she would want.
ââŠItâs fine if you donât, we canââ
âI-I have time! Iâm free a-all night.â
âShit. Why did I cut him off??â
Enjin grinned wider than usual.Â
âSick! Iâll swing by your room around nine-ish, that alright with you?â
âY-Yep! Iâllâ uhâ see you then!â
Enjinâs smile mellowed out into something⊠tender. So did his voice. Or⊠you were looking at him through rose tinted glasses. If that were the case, you never want to take them off.
âSee you then, Rookie. Donât go fallinâ asleep on me now, mâkayy?â
And just like that, Enjin sauntered off⊠not without shooting you a small playful wink. A gesture that felt like a bullet to the heart.
ăâăâïžâăăâ
Your gut felt like it was doing a whole factory reset on itself.
Walking back to your dorm⊠you couldnât get Enjinâs words our your mind.Â
âI need to talk to you about something. Itâs⊠important.â
What could that mean? Itâs ripping you apart⊠but like, in a good way. You couldnât wait for the next hour to pass just to hear Enjinâs buttery smooth voice again.Â
You look down the halls⊠no sign of your secret admirer. Odd. This would usually be the time theyâd drop gifts off, you noticed.Â
You jumpedâ immediately whipping your head around to whoever was behind you; it was Follo. And damn was he silent on his feetâŠ. He nearly gave you a heart attack.
âA-Ah, Folloâ heyâŠâ
âHey⊠sorry, did I scare you?â
âNo, youâre good⊠w-whatâs up?â
Follow gave a sheepish smile, arms shifting behind his back. Was he holding something?
âAh⊠Enâ I meanâ someone... wanted me to give you somethingâŠâ
Follo pulled a paper rose from behind his back and presented it to you.Â
âAh⊠t-thank youâŠ? Looks great⊠whoâs it from?â
âUhhâ canât sayâ sorryââ
You hesitantly accepted the rose, a rush of heat running to your face.Â
âUhm⊠thanks anyway, FolloâŠâ
âU-Uhâ yeah⊠you have a good night.â
Follo quickly sped walked away, face flushed with embarrassment. Poor guy looked like he was about to explode; bless his heart.Â
Rose in hand, you continued walking to your dorm. Itâs almost nine now⊠Enjin should be there soon. Better hurry up before he beats you to it⊠what kind of host would you be if you showed up late?Â
You picked up the pace, legs almost buckling underneath you as the thought of Enjin arriving before you did set itself into your brain. What were you to tell him if such a scenario occurred? âSorry Iâm late, Enjin⊠Follo stopped me to give me a paper rose from my supposed secret admirerâ? No way. Enjin would see right through that.
Turning the corner, the familiar dark green of your bedroom door greeted you. No sign of EnjinâŠyet.Â
You breathed a sigh of relief, pushing open your door and promptly shutting it behind you.Â
Itâs dark. And cold⊠and for some reason, you felt as if you werenât alone.Â
Your hand shot out to the wall beside you; the room flooded with blinding fluorescent-yellow light.
Instantly, your eyes locked into the figure on your bed.Â
A yelp ripped from your throatâ heart jumping to your mouth. Thatâs the third heart attack youâve received todayâŠ
âH-Holy shit! E-Enjin??â
Enjin was laying on your bed, head propped up by his palm as his other arm rested languidly over his hipâŠhis shirt fell down his chestâ just enough for the imagination to make up the rest. Straight eye candy⊠if he was holding a rose in his mouth, youâre absolutely certain youâd explode in confetti on the spot.Â
Heat immediately flooded your face, pupils dialed like crazy.Â
âHow goes it?â He purred.
You werenât even mad that he snuck in your room since he snuck in looking like thatâŠ
Enjinâs gaze lowered, suddenly interested in the origami rose in your hand. His eyes lazily returned back to your face afterwards.
âNice rose chaâgot there,â
âF-FolloâŠI meanââ
You attempted to backtrack; you made it seem like Follo was the one who gave you the rose, not that he delivered it on someoneâs behalf.
âF-Follo gave it to m-me on someoneâs behalfâ! I dunno whoâ he didnât tell meâŠâ
Enjin cocked a brow, a subtle grin appeared on his face.
âA secret admirer, eh?â
Enjin let out a breathy laugh, patting the space next to him in your bed.
âCâmon, sit down, yeah? Donât wanna make ya a stranger in your own room.â
Your legs felt so stiff⊠never quite finished processing that the man on your bed was the literal Prince Charming in some sorta childrenâs fairytale.Â
You awkwardly walked over to your bed, plopping down on the not so soft mattress.Â
Your room wasnât a messâ it was actually quite clean and organized⊠mostly because you didnât have anything to decorate the negative space with.Â
All but⊠the demolished box of chocolates on your nightstand. You had gone to town on the poor thing after your shower a few hours prior. 'One or two chocolates' had turned into the whole box. Red and pink wrappers litter the surrounding area, little crumbs of left over chocolate lay forgotten on the nightstand.
You would have cleaned up⊠if you knew that Enjin wouldâve been paying you a surprise visit.Â
Enjinâs gazeâ to your horrorâ fell on what was left of the chocolate box. A look of amusement flooded his face, corners of his lips quirked upwards in a half-laugh.
âHeh⊠I take it as you like those caramel filled chocolates?â
âUhhâ I do! Ermâ sorry for the mess by the way, I w-would have cleaned up i-if I know you wereââ
You pause. Caramel filled⊠chocolates. Those were the exact same ones left at your door every night. Realization hits you like a truck. Your face explodes vermilion.
âH-Holy fuckâ E-Enjinâ were youâ?â
You pointed at the box, then at your door.
Enjin finally barked out laughing. The hand on his hip slapped onto his forehead.
âHaâ! Man, you should see the look on your face!â
You stared at him in utter disbelief. Judging by Enjinâs reaction⊠that was no lucky guessâ this all was the handiwork of the man in front of you.
Enjinâs laughter eventually died down, melting into something more fond⊠cheeks lightly dusted pink.
ââŠIâm surprised you havenât noticed sooner, Rookie⊠I mean, my name is literally scrawled all over this stunt.â
You hadnât noticed before, but looking back on the handwritten notes taped to your door⊠the horridly drawn cars that acted as little signatures. Car⊠car engine⊠âEnjinââŠ
âO-Oh. T-That was⊠you.â
âThe one and only, Baby.â
Enjin again shot you a teasing wink, this time accompanied by a confident finger gun. The nickname made your stomach do flips; you couldnât even talk properly.
ââŠD-Does t-this meanâŠ? D-D youââ
âIt means exactly what you think it means, Handsome,â
Enjinâs voice dropped an octave.
âAnd judging by your reaction⊠you feel the same way. Am I right?â
You sheepishly nod. Oh god⊠all your dreams were coming true in a matter of seconds. Was this really happening? Did you die and go to heaven??
âI uh⊠I-I really like you, EnjinâŠâ
You gulpâ you didnât know what you were saying. All the feelings over the past two months just came spilling out.
âI-I love⊠everything about you. Your confidence, y-your strengthâ your everythingâ!â
Enjinâs cheeks grew a deeper shade of pink as you spouted your feelings off to him. Yours did the same.
Enjin smiled, brushing a loc of blonde hair from out his eyes to better gaze into your lovestruck eyes.
âI⊠like you too, Dollface. If it wasnât obvious already.â
You both chuckled at that. Light and soft.
The atmosphere is warm now⊠the kind of warmth youâd only feel when youâve truly found solace in another person's presence.
Enjin started, his voice carrying teasing edge to it.
âSince you like those chocolates so much⊠howâs âbout I give you something sweeter?â
You blinked. He wasnât seriousâŠ
Enjin chuckled, leaning closer to you⊠you could feel his breath on your lips.
âA celebratory kiss.â
Crimson burst all over your face. Your whole body felt like it was going into self destruction mode.
âAâA kiss?? I meanâ GODâ uh, I would l-love toâ!â
Enjin grinned as you two slowly leaned into one another, hovering mere inches from each other's lips. And with one final breathâ the moment youâve been waiting forâŠ
Your lips came together in a single, sweet, harmonious kiss.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Authorâs Note: YIPPIE FIRST FIC DONE!! Also if you caught the Danganronpa reference in here I love you so much
