small excerpt from a fic im working on, a flashback from nico and lewis' childhood;
"Fine. I promise not to change the game whenever I start to lose." Nico puts a hand in the air and the other on his heart. Lewis narrows his eyes sceptically,
Nico's eye twitches before he sighs and agrees.
Lewis looks Nico up and down skeptically. Nico tries his best to look innocent, despite a mischievous smile crawling onto his face. Lewis raises an eyebrow at him, Nico extends his hand out, expression angelic at this point.
Nico shakes his hand a little bit, enticing, and Lewis lets out a puff of air, giving in.
"Alright. You better not be crossing your fingers or anything." Lewis motions two fingers to his eyes before turning them and pointing them at Nico's. The other boy held his other hand out to the side, eagled, fingers splayed out.
Lewis still looks hesitant, shifting back on his heels and away from the hand.
"If I break the promise then you can have the last piece of pie in the freezer." Nico says, Lewis's eyes sparkling with excitement for a second. Nico grins a little, excited to have finally swayed the boy.
Lewis nods, accepting, and reaches out to shake hands with Nico. The moment their hands meet Nico jerks his hand away from Lewis' and begins to run away.
Lewis stands there, looking from his hand to Nico who was now bolting away,
Nico laughs out loud before shouting over his shoulder, "YOU'RE IT NOW LEWIS, COME ON!" and running even faster, trying to gain a lead on his friend.
Lewis looks stunned for a moment before shaking it off, a grin crawling onto his face as he starts to give chase to his friend.
