"OUR SECOND MAN-DATE" (Beck Oliver x Sinjin Van Cleef one-shot)
Fluff involving brushing against each other and caressing. This happens during Victorious so don't expect any smut since they're minors.
| | |
A long (and tough) day at Hollywood Arts was coming to an end as Beck headed home. He had gotten into a heated argument with his girlfriend, Jade—something that wasn't exactly surprising.
This time, it was over glancing at an extra girl for a split second—even though Beck had coincidently been looking in her direction and hadn't even noticed the girl (or so he claimed).
All he wanted now was to get home, collapse onto his bed, and try to get some sleep—however difficult that might be.
After a few hours, the Indian-Canadian arrived at his destination. He parked his car behind the camper and got in.
Once inside, he halfheartly took off his shoes, hung his jacket on the coat rack and, as he'd wanted—collapsed onto his double bed. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, to get the fight with Jade out of his head…
He was more than aware about Jade's frequent (and most times, exaggerated) jealousy. But was also kind of getting used to it.
That one argument they had was different than the others, though. Beck noticed how she would hide a joking or sarcastic smile while scolding him, then mutter something similar to "you're lucky you're cute."
But she didn't.
That's what was bugging Beck's mind: Jade sounded GENUINELY mad at him for something stupid.
'Just try to sleep.' he pleaded to his own conscience.
For a few seconds it seemed to work, until his cell phone rang. Beck reluctantly opened his eyes: "Who could it be...?"
He turned on his phone and saw the notifications…
It was a message from... Sinjin?
Not that it annoyed him, though. The dark-haired boy just didn't expect a message from him.
What could he message him for? Maybe he needed help with some invention... or wanted to ramble about his interests?
They weren't best friends or anything. Beck and Sinjin just were... Acquaintances, or atleast that was the first one's perspective.
Despite that, Beck didn't hate him or find him creepy at all.
In fact, what made Sinjin "creepy" seemed pretty cool to him. The redhead wasn't like his other classmates: fake, extremely perfect or doing anything for approval.
Sinjin was Sinjin no matter what anyone said. Nerd with peculiar fixations, but unique... and real.
Finally, the light brown-skinned boy opened the notification and carefully read the messages:
Hey Beck. Are you okay?
It's not like I was spying on you, but I noticed you had a nasty argument with Jade.
Want to talk about it?
-Sinjin 👾
Beck was dumbfounded once again. He hadn't expected Sinjin, of all people, to care about him.
But it was a surprisingly pleasant surprise.
No one noticed his mood, let alone wrote to express empathy. Not even Jade.
He replied immediately:
Hey, Sinj!
Don't worry about it. I've been worse.
He hesitated before going on; would he think it was too hasty? Or a waste of time?
Then he thought: It's Sinjin! He doesn't care about that sort of thing… So he wrote:
A little company wouldn't hurt tho…
Beck waited patiently for Sinjin to reply.
He received a response almost immediately:
Awesome! Can I come over to your place?
-Sinjin 👾
The guy with the fluffy hair couldn't help but smile as he straightened his posture on the bed. Sinjin was a good guy, no doubt about it.
He might be unconventional, but Beck would bet all he really needed was someone to stand by him and offer support.
Of course! Sending you the address right away 🙃
- - -
A few minutes later, Sinjin arrived at Beck's house.
The guy with the afro knocked on the door.
Inside, Beck had a collection of video games, along with drinks and snacks on a coffee table.
Hearing the knock, he got up from the bed and opened the door.
"Sinjin! Welcome, come on in," Beck stepped aside so the boy in question could enter the house.
"Thanks, Beck! I'm glad we can have our… SECOND MAN-DATE." Sinjin said with a mischievous smile.
"I already told you: This is NOT a date." The Canadian replied in the same joking tone.
"We'll see about that, lumberjack..." The boy with glasses nudged him with his elbow.
A pause... Then, they laughed. Neither of them could take that seriously.
They both walked in, with Sinjin closing the door behind him.
Then, he noticed the video games on the table.
"No… way! You have the very first Mortal Kombat ever made?!" he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up like a kid at an amusement park through his glasses.
"And it's not the only one I have…" Beck said with a genuine smile. Not a fake smile or a mocking smirk like he usually did.
He really enjoyed seeing Sinjin happy, and that they shared more than one thing in common.
Immediately, the nerd looked at the video games that were beneath Mortal Kombat. He couldn't believe it: Beck had classics in his house!
"Mario Kart… Zelda… Final Fantasy VII?! I didn't think you were into video games, honestly, but y'know what? you're AWESOME." Sinjin admitted, pleasantly surprised.
"Didn't you think I was awesome before? Oh, you really hit me in the gut!" Beck said dramatically, putting a hand to his forehead as if he were about to faint.
"Yeah, I did think that… But now, you're even more awesome!" Sinjin burst out laughing at Beck's dramatic gesture.
"Okay, less talk and more video games, shall we?" Beck said, having already forgotten his argument with Jade thanks to Sinjin's enthusiasm.
"Oh, ho, ho! I'll beat you at every single one!" Sinjin exclaimed excitedly and defiantly.
"Excuse me? You're talking to the Mario Kart champion ten times in a row!" Beck said with the same arrogance.
"You're lying…" Sinjin crossed his arms, enjoying the occasional banter with Beck.
"You'll see I'm not, moldy hair!" Beck exclaimed, not really mocking him, but teasing, just like Sinjin. As he spoke, he ruffled Sinjin's hair.
The boy with glasses was stunned by the contact. Hardly anyone touched his hair, since most considered it stiff or greasy just by looking at it.
But there was Beck. He ruffled his hair and, to top it all off, looked him in the eyes with that playful, radiant smile...
While Sinjin was rethinking his entire existence —"I didn't notice how handsome he was... wait, am I gay?"—, Beck turned on the TV and connected Mario Kart to it.
"Come on, sit down! Don't be shy." Beck said gently, as he sat down on the bed himself.
Sinjin snapped back to reality upon hearing the calm and reassuring voice of his… friend? acquaintance? crush?
He didn't really know after that little caress of his hair.
He tried to push away the thoughts of how handsome Beck was and casually sat down next to him, grabbing his gamestick.
- - -
Several hours passed, and they were still playing Mario Kart.
Sometimes Beck's phone rang, but at this point, he didn't care anymore.
All he cared about was spending the day with Sinjin, and nothing else.
They playfully laughed at each other if they lost and cheered each other on if they won. Beck also occasionally shared some V-Gang gossip with Sinjin.
He was like his messenger, since the red-haired afro-wearer wasn't included in that group.
And Sinjin really appreciated that.
He wasn't that close to them since they considered him a weirdo… even weirder than Robbie (which they weren't wrong about, but they were both equally misfits)
But Beck wasn't like the rest. He didn't judge him for who he was, nor did he tell him to shut up when he talked about his interests.
In fact, the light brown-skinned guy listened attentively every time he did. As if he were genuinely interested in what he talked about… Even if he didn't understand it sometimes.
They were both so engrossed in the video game that they didn't notice their shoulders brushing against each other.
They were too close to be 'just acquaintances'… But they didn't really care.
They were focused on spending time together, after so long since the drag race.
And Jade bombarded Beck with more and more messages, probably asking where he was and why he wasn't answering her (and maybe a violence threat or two).
But Beck and Sinjin were tired of playing so much, so Beck turned off the TV and unplugged Mario Kart.
"I… I had a lot of fun with you, Beck," Sinjin murmured, unusually shy.
"Same here, Sinj." He smiled sweetly at him.
A comfortable silence followed, then—
"You were a worthy opponent," he said, in that irreverently dramatic tone.
"Yeah, and I beat you 4 out of 7 times! Who's the Mario Kart champion now, huh?!" The geek retorted, reverting to his usual tone.
"Oh, shut up! I let you win… Couldn't take all the credit," Beck said with mock arrogance.
They both laughed as Sinjin got out of bed and headed for the door.
"…Wait." Beck stopped him.
"Don't you want to stay the night? My parents are out of town."
Sinjin turned to face him, not expecting the invitation.
But it was very kind of him; he couldn't refuse.
"Sure! …Thanks."
"Don't mention it. It's freezing cold at this hour." Beck said, lying down on the bed.
The redhead slowly approached the bed and lay down beside him.
He hesitated, wondering whether to get any closer to Beck… what if it made him uncomfortable? Would it only make things more awkward if he didn't get closer?
Before he could decide, Beck unconsciously placed his hands around his back, pulling Sinjin closer to his chest.
Sinjin didn't seem to mind at all. He could feel Beck's slow, warm breathing, and how Beck rested his chin on his head.
Was this normal between acquaintances? He didn't care.
… Beck was dating Jade, though.
Sinjin used to like the goth girl, but after talking more with Beck, he decided to distance himself.
Stealing an acquaintance's girlfriend? It wasn't right.
But…
Had the tables turned, and now he liked that acquaintance?
No. It couldn't be.
Sinjin was a straight guy through and through. He loved women, and he'd never seen or thought about a guy that way.
It was impossible that he could suddenly like a friend.
Impossible…
"Goodnight, Sinj" Beck whispered, his eyes already closed, still holding Sinjin close.
…
Damn. That soft, affectionate tone really got to the nerd.
"Goodnight, Beck."
Maybe…
It wasn't so bad that Sinjin liked his friend.
After all…
This was their SECOND MAN-DATE
THE END.
HI
i just made a Beck x Sinjin playlist !!!
check it out if u like the ship, and if u have any song suggestion don't be shy and tell me heheh
(yeah, i tried to make a heartstopper ref in the thumbnail)
Beck Oliver/Bibek “Beck” Oraon (His name in my Victorious rewrite) Mood Board!
His vibe/"Aesthetic" is the same from the originally series. Most the elements in his vibe are probably timeless, layered clothing along with some more "punk" features. In addition, I tried incorporating some photography and filmmaking elements since his major is filmmaking!
If you want to check out more of my Victorious rewrite it’s in my profile, definitely more is coming soon!

Victorious 1.01 | Pilot
First Tumblr Post!!
Liking Victorious in the big 26' was NOT on my bingo card...
ANYWAY!!! Here's is some headcanons for my Victorious rewrite!!
Also for this rewrite all the character's will have different "majors", meaning that they specify in one certain area of art! I'll list them for all the characters!
NOTE...MUCH OF THIS IS STILL A WIP AND I WOULD LOVE FEEDBACK TO MAKE THIS REWRITE BETTER!
Let's start with the girls! (Excluding Trina..I'll probably write a separate post for her)
Victoria “Tori” Vega
I haven't had much time to think about Tori, because I think she's already a pretty okay character, especially for this series.
Tori is made to be our eyes and ears because she is a "normal" girl going through a pretty dramatic change of entering a high school filled with some pretty "quirky" and alt people, which I think she would have a hard time adjust a bit.
For a major, she would definitely be a musical theater major! She would not only act but also sing and dance, taking both dance classes and voice lessons, and using to all combine into one major!
Tori's style would also probably stay the same, pretty much normal for the time period and stuff.
Also Tori would stay half white (maybe Irish descendant?) and half Latina (Puerto Rican).
Jade Wei, formerly Jade West
Jade is Asian! Specifically Chinese. I felt like changing many of the character's races because it would better represent the diversity that California has and is known for!
Jade's major is now Fine Arts! Most of the time her major isn't really important (unlike some characters where it would play a part in her personality. Also sometimes her major IS important to the plot, but we're changing some things here). This major would include taking some serious art classes and having a big gallery at the end of the school year, similar to the showcase.
Jade is emo. I KNOW this is a hot take since Jade in the OG show is alt/punk (I don't know how to describe her "aesthetic"), but I think this better represents Hollywood Arts because many arts schools have many alt people.
Catalina “Cat” Valentín, formerly Cat Valentine
Cat is Latina (I was specially thinking Ecuadorian..But that's still a WIP)! I felt like we could use more Latina characters since California is known for having a large population of Latinas
I also LOVED Cat's last name but I decided to change it to better reflect her hispanic roots.
For her major, she would be a Production major! Specifically she would do costume and makeup design. I took major inspiration from the episode "Tori the Zombie", where Cat took a makeup class.
For her style, I am so keeping her season 1 style (and personality)! I know one thing for sure, that she dyes her hair red because she felt like her natural hair (brown) was too basic.
I feel like she would play a lot with her outfits and makeup, as sort of a "test run" for some projects and finals.
André Harris
André is the character who mainly stays the same, similar to Tori. The only real "changes" is his importance and plot line in the show. He is ends up dating/liking multiple people, and is rather not thrown away like he is the actual series. I plan to make different posts further explain their personal plot lines and changes, i.e. style, personality, backstory.
His major is basically what he does in the actual series, songwriting and production! He's a songwriting and production major, so he sometimes writes original songs for the showcases and original musicals. He also helps produce music as well.
I'll basically get more in depth in the future, hopefully.
Bibek “Beck” Oraon, formerly Beck Oliver
Beck is one that changed the most. He is now Indian, like his actor, who is half Indian. I feel like he would be born or somewhat raised in India before he moved to America. OR, he was born in India, moved to Canada, lived there for a couple years then moves to LA. Of course, much of this is still WIP so I'm very open to feedback!
Beck is now a Filmmaking major! Beck in least some episodes is known to be on sets, and I feel like it would be interesting if he was film major. Maybe I'll explain this a bit more in a separate post (SORRY THIS POST IS GETTING SO LONG).
Beck's style seems to take heavy inspiration from 80's movies especially Bender from The Breakfast Club (My personal favorite John Hughes movie and movie the episode The Breakfast Bunch is based off of). Bender's styles included layering and flannel and more "punkish" style, so that's what I think he would wear, a long with maybe a piercing or two.
Robert "Robbie" Shapiro
Robbie is an acting major, but he especially likes acting in comedies, writing comedies, and doing stand up. Robbie overall is a very shy and awkward character, and has trouble saying what he truly wants. To combat this, he likes channeling his true thoughts and jokes through Rex, his puppet. Rex, in my version, is rather not the smack-talking puppet that hurts Robbies's ego, but rather used for comedic effect. Of course I feel divided on this but also I'm targeting Rex because I hate Rex....Anyway....
Robbie is known around the school for being a mediocre actor and comedian, but he got into Hollywood Arts because he had amazing grades in middle school/on the entry exam (I'm still figuring these things out..)
Robbie's style is very much layered clothing, kinda representing his shy nature. He would also would wear a ton of cheesy graphic tees.
Thank you so much for reading this if you made it this far! Like I said I'm very open to suggestions and if you want you can give me feedback, anything is helpful :D
I've been watching tiktok about trans!Robbie Shapiro, and as much as I love this hc, I think Nickelodeon really meant to played on stereotypes (and I mean all of them : the religious ones, the lgbtqia+ ones, the cultural ones etc.)
Except they played on stereotypes very much — maybe too much — that they ended making a trans ftm character without knowing it, along with others lgbtqia+ characters.
And I cannot talk if this is accurate or not because I'm not trans, but as I am aroace, I can also talk about my hc of Beck Oliver being aroace because it is accurate too (Beck's behavior is so aroace coded/implied sometimes).
So we can somehow say thank to D*n Sch... (idk how to write his name, the problematic producer of most Nickelodeon shows) and Nickelodeon themselves for give us lgbtqia+/queers representation in our childhood tv shows.
