Genre: Dual POV, Fluff, Angst
Nerves encapsulated me. The bell had already rang and I was at my locker. Jaebeom and I were going to head to the gaming club as we both didn't have practice until four and it was currently two in the afternoon. There was a Mario kart tournament today so why not then spend some time together before practice?
No one really knew about what was sparking between us besides Camille. He was a nice and genuine guy. I hadn't gotten any red flags from him whatsoever. He mentioned his ex like I had mentioned mine and we had called a couple times over the week. Was this something new? Maybe even something real? What about Jungkook? I shook off the thoughts and took a deep breath as I grabbed my duffel bag with my badminton stuff inside of it.
Camille wouldn't be with me today as she had to go home and study for a test before coming back for practice. I was startled as I closed the locker door to find him leaning against the one next to me. He smiled before saying a simple hi.
"Are you ready?" I nodded in agreement. He took both his bag and my bag in his hand as we headed up the stairs behind us to the second floor.
Once we got up to the classroom, we had found a couple of desks towards the back to set our bags down and to rest at before we would be playing.
We got the sign up sheet handed to us as we both put our names down to go against each other and we sat back and watched the current round going on.
"You're really pretty when you focus like that. I saw you doing that at try outs." I flinched in shock, this feeling was new, I felt more nervous to be around him then just talking on the phone.
I looked over towards him and smiled.
"Thank you handsome." I didn't have to add a smiley face or hit send anymore. This was real. I could feel his presence next to me. My mind and heart was racing.
"Alright, Jaebeom, Y/N, Martin, and Hoseok you're up." A rush of excitement flooded through me as we both got up to sit in front of the tv at our designated controllers. It was me, Jaebeom, and two other guys. But I was sure I could win.
Jaebeom was sat next to me with the other two guys on the side opposite from us. We each chose our characters and vehicles. I chose from my memory of a couple years back. Toadette and a red car with small wheels. We all were waiting slowly revving the engines as we waited for the countdown to start. There was 3 laps in each round and there were 3 rounds of games, each losing the weakest player.
The horn blared and it was go time. I started by using a tactic, by grabbing smaller wheels for the most speed. I collected the lucky block towards the middle of the lap releasing a green shell behind me. I passed the first lap. I felt a lift in my emotions an immediate smile crossing my face as I passed Hoseok and continued within first place.
I passed the second lap and it was now the last round. A red shell went straight for me and it was Hoseok catching up who threw it. I found another lucky block as it loaded and got a banana peel. I dropped them all in order tripping Hoseok who was coming up behind me. I made it past the finish line finishing the first round in first place.
I looked around at Jaebeom who dropped the controller on the table because he came in fourth. I chuckled to myself as his brown eyes looked up at me.
"What's so funny?" I chuckled a little more.
"Nothing I promise." I laughed a little louder.
I then said something I didn't expect myself to say.
"Don't worry, I'll win this for us." I watched his facial expression turn into a smile.
I leaned forward on the table as I was choosing the same character as before. I could feel him moving around next to me. I was leaning towards the table as I didn't notice his movement since I was focused on the round now starting. I leaned back a little and felt his arm on the back of my chair. As focused as I was I could feel the pit in my stomach starting to feel like butterflies flying around in there.
I leaned back against his embrace as I continued to play and I couldn't help but feel a small amount of guilt. I shook it off and continued playing.
I lost against Hoseok in the last round. It was me against him and I had lost. I came into second place winning a free tshirt and I couldn't have been happier. It was now time for both of us to head to practice. He took both of our bags again no matter how many times I could carry it myself. I followed him up the stairs. He stopped in his tracks in the break between the other two stairwells.
"You lost Y/N." I looked at him as he set the bags down on the floor.
"You remember our bet right?" I nodded in agreement. If I won he would have to buy me snacks for the month and if I lost, I'd have to go on a date with him.
He smiled at me and walked a little closer than before.
"I'm thinking Friday, at 6? I'll pick you up. And I'm bringing you home today. There's no point of you having your parents pick you up or go home with Camille when we share the gym and I could bring you home myself. " I looked at him in shock. My mouth was left hanging open.
He walked closer to me as I stood there frozen. I nodded to him but couldn't speak. He took me into an embrace and whispered into my ear.
"I can't wait to take you out on a date beautiful."
A rush of emotions hit me and I wrapped my arms around his neck as his were already on my waist. We stood there for a couple of minutes and I could hear our breathing and his heart beating as fast as mine. What was this feeling? I kept thinking about that in my mind.
"Thank you." I spoke to him softly. He held on but gave me a confused expression.
"For this, the date, everything." I looked up at him giving a small smile. He pulled me in a second time before letting go. I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks as I watched him grab both of our bags as we made it to the third floor.
On the third floor there was a long hallways that would bring you to the gym building. We walked through that hallway and down a couple stairs to split up in the locker rooms.
I walked in and sat down on the bench next to my locker, all I could think about was what had happened just then. I couldn't help but smile at it.
Today was the day. It was Friday, I was already home from school and Camille was on the phone helping me pick out an outfit. This was my first date ever and it was a big deal.
Over the summer while everything was going on, I learned and taught myself how to do makeup. Especially natural makeup, it was the best way to hide my red and puffy eyes from crying about Jungkook when it was time for dinner. I still thought about him some days. But I stopped sending messages, it seemed like it was for the best.
I had finally chosen an outfit, I chose a long sleeve black top, with straight leg lighter jeans and a pair of sneakers. My hair was down and curled and I grabbed a small purse I would use on occasion. I was talking to Camille when I saw his text message mentioning that he was here. I hurriedly hung up on her bidding goodbye and rushed down the stairs. Both of my parents were at work late tonight and I would be back before it was dark anyways.
I rushed down the stairs and out the front door, as I pulled out my house keys locking the front door. I looked forward at the white car. He was standing outside waiting for me. I walked towards him as he took me into an embrace.
"Hello beautiful, are you ready?" I nodded and stepped back as he opened the door for me. I got in and placed my purse into my lap as I buckled myself in. He closed the door and got in on the other side. He started the car and we left.
We had made it to the movie theaters and were currently in line for popcorn, snacks and drinks. The movie we wanted to watch sold out on the spot so we chose a romcom.
We got everything and we were walking to our seats. He chose seats all the way in the last row. For what felt like a two mile walk we had made it to our seats.
We settled in and watched as only a couple of other people were in the theater with us. It seemed like two other couples and they were further off to the front. I took a sip of my drink and a bite of popcorn as the movie began to start. I leaned into him as his arm circled around me pulling me as close as we could be with the separator between the chairs.
The movie was hilarious, we were laughing through it. It was probably the middle of it now. I could feel him moving closer to me. I took a bite of my popcorn and ignored it until I felt his other hand land on the side of my face as my eyes were pulled away from the screen and into his. His brown eyes were darker with this lighting. I looked into them and smiled, he did the same. He began to lean in and my heart started beating quicker.
I closed my eyes out of my body's response and felt him slowly. His lips moved onto mine and he held my head gently. I kissed back as I followed his rhythm. I could feel the thumping of my heart within my ears. Was this my first kiss? It was.
Another rush of guilt flew through me as we parted. I looked into his eyes and smiled wider than ever. He held me closer and we sat watching the rest of the movie.
The car stopped at a small halt and he turned it off after putting it in park. I looked over towards him and at the dash board, it was 8 o clock. My parents wouldn't be home till 10.
"Thank you Jaebeom." I looked at him and watched as his smile grew bigger.
"Y/N, I have a question for you." I looked back from the window into his eyes again.
"What is it?" I watched as a rush of nerves sparked in my veins and the same thing happened to his face.
"Will you let me be your boyfriend?"
My mouth widen in shock and my heart was beating in my ears again. A tinge of guilt struck through me as I remembered hearing a similar line like that before. I pondered what to say in my mind. I made the choice that would change everything.
"Yes of course!" I watched as he took me in another embrace before landing a kiss on my forehead and mouthing thank you. I smiled widely and bid him goodbye as I left the car and walked up to my door.
I opened it waving one more time before closing the door behind me and leaning against the door.
