MISSION: AVOID ENJIN
you actually have no idea what to do. you walk into commons see him and run away. you walk towards the kitchen and get a peek of him and sprint in the other direction. you are leaning over semius desk deep in conversation when he comes around the corner.
"hey-"
you immediately turn around and run away.
" what's her problem she hasn't spoken to me all day, I didnt do anything!"
enjin sighs falling to his knees and his chin resting on the desk. semiu sigh's
" I honestly have no idea."
she says lying through her teeth and he knows it. he growls as he gets up and stalks away. you managed to go the whole day without seeing him by making yourself busy ( genuinely running away every time you hear his voice ) doing side quests with rude and zanka. you walk into your bedroom leaning your head against your door sighing, avoiding enjin has taken a lot out of you. as you turn you see him sitting on your bed and you freeze your hand reaches behind you to try and open the door
"don't"
you halt all movements, even holding your breath in.
"why are you avoiding me?"
he says as he gets up from your bed, meeting you in 2 strides.
"ummm..."
your mind starts racing with possible lies that could get you out of this situation
" don't even try to lie"
"I don't know I just mmm mmhm"
you start murmuring under your breath.
"speak up"
you cover your face
"I over heard you telling rudo you like me and I don't know what to say"
you say in one breath. he goes completely still. you glance up at him through your fingers and immediately wish you hadn't because now he's just staring at you.
"you overheard that?"
he asks and you let out a groan, dragging your hands down your face.
"please don't make me relive this."
a laugh escapes him and your eyes squeeze shut.
"oh my god you're laughing at me." "i'm not-"
he cuts himself off when another grin threatens to break through.
"okay maybe a little."
you make a noise of pure embarrassment and turn toward the door again only for him to turn you around again.
"so instead of talking to me you spent the entire day running away?" he asks.
"i wasn't running away." "you genuinely vaulted over zanka when you saw me at lunch." "because i panicked!"
he blinks before his expression softens.
"why?"
your mouth opens before immediately snapping shut.
because i like you too. the words sit on the tip of your tongue refusing to come out. enjin watches you struggle for a moment before letting out a sigh.
"you don't have to say anything."
your eyes snap up to his. "i don't?" he shakes his head.
"I know you and I know you are not too good with this sort of thing."
the confession somehow makes your chest hurt even more. "well that's stupid." "why?" you stare at him for a second.
"because i've been losing my mind all day over this."
another laugh escapes him and this time it's softer. "you've been avoiding me all day because you didn't know how to tell me you like me back?"
your heart practically stops. silence fills the room.
"maybe."
the grin that spreads across his face is immediate. "maybe?" he repeats.
"don't push it."
"so that's a yes?"
you stare at him for a long moment before sighing in defeat.
"yes."
for a second he just looks at you, like he's making sure he heard you right, before the biggest smile you've ever seen smears across his face. and suddenly all the effort you spent avoiding him feels completely pointless.
