πππππ : omg, first fic posted!! This is only the second fic I've ever written so I hope you guys like it <3. Sorry if the ending feels a bit rushed, that's something I'm trying to work on
The booming bass of the speakers and the suffocating scent of perfume and cologne filling the dimly lit school gym should be enough to excite, and disorient, anyone.Β
Except for M/n, who is currently staring at his βnot my boyfriend but not just a friend,β Jake Sim. Theyβve been texting every day for the past few weeks, staying up until ungodly hours of the night to talk about whatever is on their minds, life drama, video games, the occasional flirting, anything. The problem is anytime M/n tries to make plans in person, Jake turns him down. And whenever M/n does see him in person, he acts distant and as if nothing is going on between them.
βIf youβre gonna be utterly, hopelessly, in love with someone, can it not be with the guy whoβs afraid of being seen with you in public?β
βSunoo!β Jungwon scolds. M/n looks down at his lap, hurt by Sunooβs comment. Heβs not mad that he said it, heβs mad that heβs right.
βIβm just telling the truth! When was the last time he talked to M/n irl? Asking for notes doesnβt count,β Sunoo looks between them, neither Jungwon nor M/n have a response. βThatβs what I thought. M/n, I promise you there are so many other things you could be focusing on. Like winning prom king, theyβre gonna announce the winners in a few minutes!β
βI really donβt feel like getting up on stage and having to dance with some random, Sunoo.β
βWell, if you werenβt prepared for the responsibilites of becoming prom king then you shouldnβtβve signed up,β Sunoo argues.
βYou signed me up for it, Sun. You literally forged my signature.β
βWell letβs not get caught up in the details,β he waves his hand as if to deflect the blame. He catches sight of something behind M/n and smiles, βWould you look at that? I think someoneβs interested in you, M/n,β Sunoo devilishly grins gesturing behind M/n. M/n turns around and sees Jay shyly looking at them in the distance. Jay smiles at him when they make eye contact and M/n quickly turns around trying to hide his face.
βHeβs coming this way~β Sunoo teases. M/n kicks Sunoo beneath the table but itβs no use as Jay has already made his way over.
βHey guys,β he says to the three of them but itβs obvious that his attention is mainly on M/n.
βHi Jay,β Sunoo and Jungwon say in unison. They watch as Jay stares at M/n admiringly.
Jungwon coughs to break the silence, βHey, Sunoo, wanna go dance? I love this song.β
βUh, yeah me too!β Sunoo quickly stands up, Jungwon following suit, βSee you guys later! Have fun M/n~,β M/n tries to protest but it falls on deaf ears as he watches Sunoo and Jungwon scurry along to the dance floor.
βWell, we shouldnβt let them have all the fun, right?β Jay smiles and holds out his hand, βMay I have this dance?β M/n hesitates. He glances back to where Jake was but heβs nowhere to be found.
βUhβ¦ yeah, sure,β M/n takes Jayβs hand as heβs whisked away onto the dance floor. Jay intertwines their fingers with one hand and holds M/nβs waist with the other. They dance for a bit, Jay gracefully twirling and spinning M/n around. M/n laughs as they dance. Jay pulls him closer to his chest, staring into M/nβs eyes with a smile.
βYouβre a good dancer, Jay.β
He laughs softly, βSo are you,β He pauses before continuing, βCan I ask you something?β M/n nods, βWhy has Jake been glaring at us since we started dancing?β
M/n furrows his brow and glances over to where Jay is gesturing. He sees Jake leaning against the drink bar, gripping the table so hard heβs surprised he hasnβt broken it. Jakeβs staring daggers into Jayβs skull. M/n has never seen this side of Jakeβ so angry, so jealous. Jake quickly looks away when he notices M/nβs gaze but he canβt help himself from stealing a few more glances.
βOh, that's umβ itβs βcauseββ
βAre you guys like together, or something? Iβm not dancing with a taken guy am I?β Jay questions, raising an eyebrow.
βNo, no! I mean, I wish,β M/n thinks for a bit but quickly pulls himself out of his thoughts, βbut, no, nothingβs happening. Nothing official anywayβ¦β
Jay can sense the disappointment in M/nβs voice. Jay lets go of him and tucks his hands into his pockets, βYβknow, M/n, you deserve to be with someone who wants to be with you, too.β Before he can continue a girl announces that the results for Prom Court are about to be announced. When M/n looks back at Jay heβs already walking away, waving him goodbye.
Jungwon and Sunoo find M/n back on the dance floor as they await the results.
The girl onstage is holding two envelopes, presumably containing the results. She speaks into the mic, βAnd now what youβve all been waiting for. Our first winner of the night isββ She pauses for dramatic effect as she reads the envelope, βJake Sim! Come on up here, everyone give our Prom King a round of applause!β
M/n claps along with the rest of the students as he looks over at Jake. Jake glances at him, still very clearly jealous, but he pushes it aside and fakes a smile for everyone else. He walks up onstage as the girl places a sash and crown on Jake. He smiles and waves towards the crowd, his smile faltering slightly when he sees M/n.
βAnd now, for our second winner, itβsβ M/n L/n!β
M/nβs eyes go wide as he looks around, Jungwon is surprised but claps in support while Sunoo canβt help but laugh. They gently push M/n toward the stage and he slowly walks up. A sash and crown are placed on M/n as well. He looks over at Jake, this is the closest theyβve been in the past few dances.
βAnd, as per tradition, the prom royals will now have their first dance!β
The two look at each other as the crowd cheers them on, awaiting their next move. M/n holds out his hand for Jake but Jake hesitates.
βDance with me or Iβll go ask Jay.β
Jakeβs eyes widened as he quickly grabs M/nβs hand with a firm grip, leading him onto the dance floor. They stop in the middle of the crowd, Jake firmly places his hands on M/nβs hips while M/n rests his hands on Jakeβs shoulders. Itβs awkward at first, but that quickly melts away. The dance feels naturalβ like M/n's waist is where Jakeβs hands are meant to be.
βHey,β M/n says tentatively.
βHey,β Jake says back, more confident but with a hint of guilt.
βWhy have you been avoiding me?β M/n decides to go all in, he doesnβt know when heβll be this close to Jake again.
βAh, yeahβ¦β Jake swallows trying to push down his guilt, βIβI didnβt mean to, I was justβ¦ nervous,β he looks down, avoiding M/nβs gaze.
ββNervousβ? Youβre the captain of the soccer team and volunteer to present in front of the whole school, how do I make you nervous?β
βThatβs what scares me, M/n!β he looks back up into his eyes, βIβve never been scared of talking to anyone, but youββ the words catch in his throat, his eyes tearing up slightly, βYouβre different M/n. I like you, maybe too much. I thought I knew what love was but this is so different from anything Iβve felt.β
βLove?β M/n questions hopefully.
Jake smiles, looking into M/nβs eyes, βYeah, love. I love you, M/n, and Iβm so scared of what this means," he pauses, "But more importantly, Iβm scared of losing you.β
βHey, Jake, look at me,β M/n softly cups Jakeβs face bringing him to look into M/nβs eyes, βI love you, too. Youβre not gonna lose me. We can figure this out together.β
βPromise?β Jake holds out his pinky, needing M/nβs affirmation.
βI promise,β M/n locks his pinky with Jakeβs, staring into his eyes with a confidence that reassures Jake. M/n leans closer and gives Jake a gentle kiss on the cheek. Jake blushes and giggles before looking down, smiling shyly, βWanna get out of here?β M/n asks.
βIn the middle of prom?β
βYou think Iβm gonna let you get away with weeks of avoiding me without making up for it?β
Jake laughs, smiling widely at M/n. He takes M/nβs hand in his and leads him out of the dance, excited to see where this new relationship takes them.
