“I wouldn’t thank me yet.” Sofia smiled mischievously. “I may get you next time. See how high you can jump?”
He was trying to seem offended, but it was difficult to do when he was so amused by her boldness. “Or how about next time I just come with a fishing net?”
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
Daniel shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He was hot and now sweating from nerves. “W-what?” Daniel asked and shook his head quickly. “No, that’s not what I meant.” He insisted. “I just… If you don’t know someone well, shouldn’t you respect them by not having them send pictures of themselves?” Daniel asked, a bit confused. “Like… show them that they are more than their looks?”
He had been taught to treat women with respect. To not ask for pictures, to not assume they want anything, and definitely to not just get laid and leave them. But Daniel had said he wanted help. He wanted to open up more. He wanted to be comfortable around women… and men. He wanted to be able to walk into a room and not get nervous.
“Sorry, I just… was raised differently, I guess.” Daniel gnawed at his bottom lip and glanced down at his hands that were clasped in front of him. “But uh.. so… what are you doing now?” He asked, trying to glance over at the phone in his hand.
Nik offered the other guy a humored smile when he responded, just to make sure Daniel didn’t think he was taking the topic too seriously.
“Don’t stress about it. You don’t have to ask girls to send pics. Sometimes they just do, if they’re interested. It’s not about looks, it’s about intimacy. You’ll learn... Let’s just start with the basics here and give you the tools you’ll need.”
And as Nik looked back down at the phone, his nose wrinkled in slight frustration. “I’m trying to find a picture of you for your profile pic. Trying is the key word.”
poppy-mason:
Poppy couldn’t help herself from laughing. Just a little bit. “Oh yes, she’s just beautiful. That is… until you see another random girl walk by. Then she’s your type.” It was all in good fun, though. Despite his antics, she loved her brother so dearly.
He was only mostly joking as he nodded his head in humbled agreement. Yeah, it was very clear he didn’t have a type. That’s how he wanted it. The more people thought they knew what was going on in his head, the more he remained a mystery, even from his sister sometimes...
“I’m a man of simple needs. And those needs are a’callin’... So I will see you later, sis,” he told her with a quick kiss on the cheek before he went off toward the lovely lady down by the water.
thelovely-maidenfair:
Sofia laugh-coughed at Nik’s rather hilarious expression. Once the water had cleared up and only light-hearted laughter remained she spoke. “I guess it’s good I didn’t grab your foot then?”
Nik was still choking down a little water, but he was interrupted by a sudden chuckle when he imagined her purposely scaring him by grabbing his foot. That probably would have ended much worse.
“Yeah, thanks for--,” he coughed, “not doing that.”
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
Daniel was worried. More than worried. He didn’t want any social media accounts, and growing up, he wasn’t even allowed to have a smartphone. His father had a lot of rules that made sure he didn’t socialize or was tracked anywhere through GPS. But now that he was here, it wouldn’t matter, right? That’s what Daniel kept telling himself in his head while Nik continued to talk about how the social networking applications worked. Daniel quickly moved his hands underneath the table so Nik couldn’t see him picking at the skin around his nails, nervously.
Tweets? What the hell were tweets? “Nik I really don’t think that this is necessary…” Daniel muttered but so softly that Nik probably couldn’t hear him. His eyes widened when Nik said girls would be sending him pictures. “Wh-why would I want that?” Daniel asked, confused. “T-that’s… that’s disrespectful a-and creepy a-and…” Daniel shook his head and quickly covered his face when Nik winked at him. Not only was the talk of pictures making Daniel flustered, but Nik winking at him was as well.
A username? Daniel was never good at creating any names for himself. “I’m not a nerd.” Daniel protested. “I just like books.” He explained before letting out a sigh and forcing his hands away from his face. “Full name is fine.” He muttered. “I don’t like nicknames.”
Nik could tell that Daniel was getting nervous, but he had to push the guy. He had asked for Nik’s help, had he not? And this was how he was going to help.
“This is a necessary step before I show you how to approach people in real life. That display over there made it clear enough that you could use the extra advantage...”
Books, huh? BookWormDan. Perfect. Kinda lame, but they could always change it later. Now he just had to see if Daniel had any good selfies lying around...
But when Daniel mentioned how disrespectful pictures were, Nik looked back up at him with a very disappointed furrow of his brow. “Disrespectful? Are you saying that women aren’t allowed to celebrate their bodies? You find women taking charge of their sexuality creepy?”
ariellethearcher:
Ari almost chuckled at his statement, “If that’s true I definitely haven’t figured out how yet.” She gave him a hard look, almost insulted, “Seventeen.”
“Whaat?”
Nik gave the girl a quick look. In Canada here, or back home, that meant she was legal... Ah, but she was so baby-faced, and Sofia would probably be pissed at him...
“You’ll figure it out. Just remember... You’re here now, growing up, surrounded by magic and shit. They have no power over you anymore.”
poppy-mason:
Poppy quickly pulled her finger away from her brother’s face… just in case. “Oh yeah? And what’s your type again, lover boy?”
He looked away from his sister for a moment, as though chasing his thoughts. Then his eyes fell on one babe down by the water in her bikini and, without hesitation, he answered, “Maybe her...”
thelovely-maidenfair:
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Nik had been trying to enjoy a peaceful swim in the lake, since no one had really been there since the Frost girl’s body had shown up. He was very close to relaxing when he suddenly caught side of Sofia underwater and was shocked enough to inhale quite a bit of water.
As he reached the surface, he aggressively coughed up the lake water, moving closer to the shore in the process so he could stand.
“Je-- sus So--,” he choked between words.
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
“I don’t… drink much…” Daniel muttered. “It lowers inhibitions.” He said, even though he was pretty sure Nik already knew that. Daniel had had, at most, one drink at a time before. Usually he didn’t even finish it. He was too afraid to see what would happen if he did drink too much.
“I don’t have anything.” Daniel said as he gave Nik his phone. His father had taught him at a young age that social media would always make sure it knew where he was. So, he would make sure to not have any, just so that nothing was tracking him when he was out doing criminal activities with his father. But he wasn’t going to tell Nik that. “I don’t see the point.”
“Yeah, that’s kind of the whole point,” he muttered in response to Daniel’s anti-alcohol excuse. Honestly, it would probably do a good deal of help for the kid.
“Well,” Nik began with an exaggerated emphasis to build anticipation as he went through and began downloading all of the free social networking apps, “... Let me help you see the point now. Everyone you ever make an impression on is going to try to look you up on Facebook or Instagram or something. Everyone who you, eventually, successfully make a connection with is going to ask for your information to add you on apps like Snapchat or Twitter. It’s modern day, Daniel. This is how you build yourself a proper reputation. This is how you convince strangers of the person you are without additional, unnecessary conversation - which, in your case, we should avoid at all costs... And this is how girls are going to want to keep in contact with you, so they can make subtle, indirect tweets about you to get your attention or... send you some nice pics,” he concluded as he looked up from Daniel’s phone with a wink.
“All right, now what do you want for your usernames? Are you a full name kind of guy? A punny nickname? Pop-culture reference? Probably something nerdy...”
poppy-mason:
Poppy smirked. “It’s unfortunate, really, brother. Raina’s shield of obliviousness can only be pierced by those pure of heart. And that certainly isn’t you,” she said, booping his nose for emphasis. It had been like this for years. Her best friend, pretty as she was, had had a fair share of admirers. But she never caught onto a single one. Luckily, none of them had ever been worth her time.
Nik couldn’t help but grin smugly at mention of how he was not pure of heart. He wasn’t taking it as an insult. And as she booped his nose he did briefly pretend he was prepared to bite it off.
“Ah, well. She’s not my type anyway.”
poppy-mason:
“I’m sorry… you did what now?” Poppy couldn’t help it. Coming out of her grim thoughts to hear that of all things from her brother prompted a horribly messy, unflattering laugh to come barking out of her.
After taking more than a few deep breaths to ground herself, she forced her eyes to narrow. “You know if you actually do anything to her, I’ll have to murder you.” She did mean it of course, and would be keeping a closer eye on him than usual, but the mere idea of Nik’s seduction techniques bouncing off of Raina’s armor of innocence was enough to keep any real venom out of her words.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t meet a girl and not make a few flirtatious comments, and she’s so impervious to my charm that I honestly can’t help it anymore. I’ve never met someone so intent on not acknowledging my flirtation. It’s inhuman, really,” he answered in the most humored tone. It really was incredible to him. No wonder she was Poppy’s friend...
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
“I am not crying.” Daniel furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head. “I’m just not as confident as you.” He insisted but frowned when Nik asked for his phone. He pulled it out of his pocket then glanced back at Nik. “Why do you need my phone?” He asked, confused, glancing between his phone in his hand and the guy in front of him. “I don’t understand.”
“I was exaggerating. Maybe we should have been doing this over drinks...” A nice confidence-boosting potion, at least, would have probably been a good idea.
“What kind of social networking do you have? Twitter? Insta? Snapchat?” he asked as he reached out to take Daniel’s phone.
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
“Nik. No one taught me anything about flirting or anything more than that.” Daniel muttered. “I had no friends back home and my parents weren’t exactly the best at communicating life situations.” He said. Now that was an understatement.
“Of course I care about her feelings. What do you want me to do? Be a dick to her?” He asked as he glanced up at Nik. “Yeah, some people don’t get confidence from getting rejected.” Daniel muttered. “So what am I supposed to do? How do I… not care? Or just… I don’t even know how to flirt! I seriously need the basics, Nik. You can’t just throw me into that situation again. I’ll crash and burn. Again.” He said. “Oh wait, what about a wing man? I’ve heard of those. You could totally be my wingman!”
Nik’s pity for the guy was fading away with each word he said, and he rested his head on his hand as he waited for Daniel to finish.
“All right, you know what, scratch everything I said. We’ll save any more main approaches for next time. And I’ll be your wingman when you can actually say a word to a girl without crying. If you want the basics... Take out your phone. Hand it over.”
ariellethearcher:
Arielle sighed deeply at his question, “Not unless you can convince my parents that they don’t have to be involved in every single aspect of my life and they need to let me actually be my own person for once.”
Nik couldn’t help but smile at that. Oh, if only she knew...
“I might not be able to convince them of that, but you certainly can... Haven’t you reached your rebellious phase yet? You seem...” He looked the girl up and down. “... Fifteen-ish?”
Seduction 101 | Daniel&Nik
danielxjameson:
Daniel’s hands were still shaking as he pressed his face into his arms. He forced himself to listen to Nik as the male spoke to him. He was a wreck, and more embarrassed than he had been in a while.
“W-was that worth it?” Daniel asked, letting the question sink into his head. “Why would that have been worth it? I just… I just made a fool of myself in front of someone that I.. that I don’t know and then she’s probably going to tell her friends of how much of a creeper I am and… and…” Daniel leaned back in his chair and placed his hands over his face. “She didn’t care. I was trying to be nice. I offered to buy her all of this food and she just… walked away.”
“Maybe… maybe I’m just not attractive… maybe that’s why she didn’t say anything to me?” He was trying to figure out a solid answer. “Or maybe… maybe she isn’t into guys? Or I just… I’m a nerd, Nik. No one wants to be with someone that spends their days around books.” Daniel shook his head. “I think you’re trying to help a lost cause…” Daniel muttered. He really hoped that that wasn’t true. He wanted to be able to flirt with people, now more than ever. But he didn’t think Nik would want to teach him after the mess of a show he just put on.
Man, this kid was having a breakdown... Nik almost felt bad. Maybe he should have prepped him a little more for what Nik knew was going to happen.
He gave the guy a pitied look as he reached out and attempt to... pat the guy’s head.
“Hey, now... Don’t go thinking like that. Let me explain this to you... 99.9% of the girls you ever meet are not going to give a shit about you and your feelings when you meet them. That’s just a fact. People don’t care about people they don’t know, especially guys. We’re not supposed to have a lot of feelings, remember? Didn’t they ever teach you that in school?
“You, on the other hand, went in there caring about her feelings. You cared about how she might feel about you approaching her, and then you cared about how she felt about you when she rejected you. That was a huge mistake. That is what keeps you from being confident and keeping your head on straight. And it wasn’t worth it, right? So, first lesson: Save your feelings for someone who gives a shit. I promise you, there is not a single girl in this cafe who is giving a shit about either one of us right now. Got that?”
cryohearted:
Evetta could feel him getting tense under her finger tips. She pressed her lips together before nodding her head. She thought she would at least be a big tease before jumping into the big fun. But since he was asking for it so early, who was she to deny him? “I didn’t want to ruin everything so quickly but,” she started, biting down on her bottom lip before rocking on her heels for a moment. “I’m pregnant”
Nik froze.
There was that word. Pregnant. He’d had nightmares about it, sure, but he was usually very careful. There was no way... But... He didn’t even remember this girl, and clearly she was fuckable, so maybe...
An uncontrolled, automatic sound - soft enough that he might have mistaken the source as miles away if the vibration was not so dreadfully real - echoed in the back of his throat: a whimper.
He looked at the girl with desperate fear in his eyes, reaching for both of her arms with weak hands, trying to process this and praying to God that she was going to give him the answer he wanted.
“Is...” He had to stop himself for a moment, his pitch too high - way too high - to sound calm. Clearing his throat, he started again. “Is it... Are you... Are you saying it’s... mine?”
