THIS SCENE FROM FRIENDLY RIVALRY??? HELLO?????? SKATER/ACADEMIC RIVAL YAN! TIM??!?!??
The clip is from Friendly Rivalry S1 EP6, you're welcome.
OH. MY. GOD. PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE—when I first saw this, Yandere! Tim instantly came to mind. Everything about this scene SCREAMS Tim. Fuck, now I need to write it💔
"If you score higher at me on this midterm, I’ll tell you how I got your information and why I got it." ????!?!??
The way she's just circling her in her skateboard like a predator is to prey? The way she laughs and sounds so condenscending but clearly still wanting to help her? To actually surpass her? The fact that she leaned in, touching her hair even if she doesn't have to?
I COMBUSTED. TIM. TIM. TIM. TIM.
So again, let's review the facts.
Skater, check. Academic overachiever, double check. Probably doesn’t need to be top 1 but is anyway. Gets OBSESSED the moment something (someone) doesn’t fit the pattern. Smiles like it’s affection but it’s a challenge. He’s already decided you’re his favorite puzzle piece.
Anyway, I am sooo definitely writing this scene. One-shot? Two-parter? Maybe three? Only time (and caffeine) will tell.
