Swapping Styles For A Day

I know I said that I won't be posting anything new until Revin week came but I just had to share this new thing I just wrote. It's the two swapping closets, so basically Red's dressed like a geek and Kevin's dressed... Uh, something cool and nothing like Kevin wears bc I see Red as a girl with multiple fashion styles.

Another reason why I am putting this up is because I would love to see art of this. Like imagine Kevin with make- up and like black nail polish and a piercing. Maybe a skirt too? He doesn't put a skirt on here bc I don't see him being confident enough for it just yet.

Also, please don't judge the ending. I didn't know how to end it but I did my best. :/

---

Kevin gulped as his girlfriend had a self- piercing gun in her hands, shaking as she got it ready on his right ear. "D- do we r-really have to do this, Red?"

Red raised a brow as she pulled the piercing device away from his ear, adjusting the glasses she had on. "No, we don't. But you kept on insisting we do this to me all day... So, what? Did you change your mind once we got to piercing your ears?"

"Well, did you have to get pierced ears, Red?! You know, you could have gone through your whole life without piercing your ears..." Kevin nervously rubbed one of his ears.

"I know that but I just... wanted to get my ears pierced. For funsies, I guess." Red shrugged, rubbing her own ears. "Alright, Kev... What's it gonna be? Like you said, you don't have to get it..."

He rubbed his ear some more as he bit his bottom lip before sighing. "I'm doing it! You have pierced ears, so I should get at least one of my ears pierced for tomorrow! Do it, Red! Just do it already!" The male grabs hold of her free hands and squeezes it tightly.

"Okay, if you say so... Great. Now, I'm nervous for you..." Red gulped a bit as she positioned the piercing gun onto his right ear again. "Alright then... One, two, three!" She pierces his right ear lobe once she finished counting.

Kevin screamed at the top of his lungs which makes Red scream at the top of hers. After a few seconds, they had calmed down and Red puts a simple black earring on his newly pierced ear.

"You know there are such things as clip on earrings, right?" Red calmed herself down while handing Kevin a mirror. "We could have just gotten those kinds of earrings for you instead of making ourselves scream there for piercing your ears..."

"Yeah, I do..." Kevin grabs the mirror and admired the new piercing he got. "But it wouldn't have felt authentic to what we have planned for tomorrow, I guess... I don't know. You did a pretty good job with it though. It looks good."

"Heh, thanks. I never even used anything like this before. I had my ears pierced by a professional, after all." She snickered as she looked at the piercing gun in her eyes. "And please, what you have planned for tomorrow... Remember, this is all your idea..." Red rolled her eyes, lying on her bed and putting her glasses on top of her head. "I have no idea where you got the idea of partners swapping closets but it is cute, not gonna lie. But also hard for us, seeing as I have such a wide style of clothes to chose from. I don't have just one aesthetic I regularly stick to. Meanwhile, you just have... Geek." She gestured to his current outfit before snickering again.

"Hey!" Kevin opened his mouth then quickly shut it, pouting as he got up to sit next to her. "Okay, maybe that's true... But like, that's why I let you dress me from time to time. I can see how my geek style can get a little redundant." He yelped when Red suddenly hugged him and made him lie next to her. "Umm, what's this for?"

"To tell you this right to your face, Mister. I may love dressing you and it's fun from time to time, I still like how you regularly dress the most. That's your unique style and one of the many reasons why I fell for you. You are one adorable geek, my Captain." She kisses his cheek, leaving a lipstick mark on it. "Though, for tomorrow, I guess that's gonna change, huh? So, how do you feel about putting on make-up for tomorrow?"

He gulped nervously, gesturing to her face. "Nothing like... This intense, right? Don't get me wrong! There is absolutely nothing wrong with males wearing make-up. But I am a little intimidated when it comes to more intense looks like yours..."

"Intense looks like mine?" She snickered before bursting out in laughter. "Please, it's Goth make-up that looks really intense. I am more diet goth in a way. I don't think any of those intense looks goth do will suit me, anyway. But you know, pretending to be a dark angel awoken something in me that day... It made me want to try some looks that don't border on straight up goth." She cleared her throat. "Anyway, my usual make-up look is just a bit of eyeliner, light blush and then dark colored lipstick so it'll pop out against my bright asshole red hair. That's it, pretty simple really."

"Hey! No!" Kevin pouted angrily at her, gently cupping her cheeks as he looks right into her eyes. "Your gorgeous red hair is one of the many things I love about you, Red. Do not just insult it like that."

"Hmm? Oh, Kevin, honey. I love you so much." She smiles softly as she gave him a few Eskimo kisses. "I just meant that as an expression, okay? You can't really deny that my hair is an overwhelmingly bright red color, right?"

"Mmm, I guess not... But still! No more insulting your hair like that!" His pout grew which makes Red kiss him on the lips. "Hey, I'm being serious here!"

Red smirked as she got up, putting her glasses back on properly. "Oh, were you now? I thought you were begging for a kiss there~" She teased, winking before opening up her closet. "I am very thankful to past me on buying the same shirts you have in my size! What with wanting to match every now and again" She giggles as she pulls out a bunch of geek t-shirts from her closet. "I know the whole thing is swapping closets but let's be real here... There is no way I am fitting in anything that isn't a jacket from your closet... Well, maybe a crop top fit but I don't really wanna freeze, tomorrow..."

"Hey! We're swapping closets tomorrow! Just what do you think you're doing, Red?!" He sat up as he gave her a serious expression, his arms crossed.

"I know, I know. Calm down, sweetie. I'm just picking out my options of clothes for tomorrow, okay? Because it would be much more quicker for us tomorrow if I just wear what I already picked out than going through my closet for the whole day, okay? Okay!" She beamed and smiled at him as she looked through her closet for something Kevin could wear tomorrow. "So, about the make-up, Kev... You didn't really give me a clear answer, you know."

"I didn't? Well, like I said, nothing too crazy. I'm fine with some lipstick and a bit of eyeliner. But that's about it, I guess. So, yes?" He shrugged then made a noise when Red threw a shirt at him.

"Alright! Good! And how about a skirt? Are you okay with wearing something like that tomorrow?" She threw a few bottom options at him. "Because if not, there are short shorts and ripped skinny jeans..."

"A skirt? I mean, I think guys should be allowed to wear skirts and stuff but I'm not really sure if it'll look good on someone like me..." He hummed. "So, if it's okay with you, I think I'll just stick with the ripped skinny jeans."

"Oh, Kev! Of course, I am! It's not like I always just wear a skirt, after all. I switch it up every now and again. And I get not having enough confidence to wear a skirt... It's not easy for guys who want to try it to just immediately wear it in public without being ridiculed. So, I'm not gonna force you to wear something you don't want to wear." She smiled before sighing, lying in bed again. "Okay, I know I said I wanna plan our outfits for tomorrow but I am beat... What else is there?"

"Hmm..." Kevin played with some of his hair which immediately gave him an idea. "Oh! I know! Since you have such an amazingly crazy hair color, I probably should have one too! But you know, more stylized... Something like..." He taps on his chin. "Luka from Miraculous Ladybug!"

"Oh my God, I always wanted to try out the way his hair is colored on you! But never found the right reason to!" She giggles as she plays with his hair. "Until now, I guess... I feel like we should work on that now because I know that will take a long time."

He nodded. "Alright, let's go shopping for the things we need!" He stands up then turns to face Red. "So, that's the last thing we will be doing to prepare for tomorrow, right? We have picked out the clothes we are going to wear tomorrow, haven't we?"

"We sure have! Now, come on! Let's go!" Red beamed, suddenly getting a burst of energy as she got up from her bed and pulls Kevin out her home.

*time skip to tomorrow because idk how to write them dying Kevin's hair...*

"I'm gonna be honest, Red... I didn't think my hair would end up looking good after dying it..." Kevin continued to admire the work his girlfriend had done with his hair in the bathroom mirror. He had been doing this ever since she finished.

"It's not the first time I dyed hair, Kev... It was way easier this time on someone other than myself." Red snickered as she adjusts her glasses before looking into the mirror. "God, it's weird to not be putting my contacts on when going out. Hell, this will be my first time going out with my prescription glasses..." She examines her reflection while putting her hair up in a simple ponytail.

Kevin finally exited the bathroom, unable to contain the blush and smile on his face as he hugged Red from behind. "Wow, Red... Despite dressing up like a geek, you sure still look so beautiful..."

"Hmm?" Red looked down to face him, blushing at his compliments. "Oh, uh... Thank you, Kev... And you... You sure look more damn handsome with what you're wearing right now."

"Oh? I do? Really? Thanks!" Kevin beamed up at her, giving her a dorky grin which makes her blush more.

"Yes, you really do... And uh, you're welcome. Fuck, I honestly didn't think make- up would make you look even more attractive! But here you are before me looking... Gorgeous! That's just the magic of make- up, I guess..." She covers half her face to hid her blushing.

"Right! The make-up! I mean, I felt you put it on me earlier but I don't even feel it on me right now! Like it feels natural almost." He giggles as he looks down on his nails. "My nails, too! You painting them black feels oddly natural too!"

Red pouts as she looks down at her clear nails. "You don't usually wear nail polish, so I feel weird without wearing nail polish for a day. But I was not gonna give up make- up. I need to put the lightest amount of make- up I could. What with my obvious imperfections in my face, after all."

"Well, with or without make- up, I think you are still the most beautiful girl in the world." Kevin gets on his tiptoes to kiss Red on the cheek, gasping when he left a mark on it and points at where he marked her. "Oh! Now, I marked you with lipstick!"

Red turns to look at the mark he left, giggling as she wiped it off. "Now, while it does compliment the look, I personally like it without this..." She pulls out a black beanie. "Then again, I don't want you getting cold..."

"You say that as I wear a slight crop top along with ripped skinny jeans..." He snickered. "But anyway, yeah. Let me have it. At least my head will be warm..." He grabs the hat from her hold and puts it on top of his head with Red adjusting it a bit.

"And there we are! Our completed swapped closet looks! Ready to go out and have people be staring at you, Kev?" Red asked him as she offered an arm out to him.

"Of course, I a- Wait, staring at me? Why would they be staring at me? You are the more attractive one between the two of us! And before you disagree, may I remind you just how many guys from our school, to this day, still say they have a crush on you?"

Red snickered, grabbing hold of his hand. "Well, you are wearing something very eye-catching... So, trust me when I say that people will be staring at my super hot boyfriend. I mean, I always knew he was hot from the start but this look just really elevates his hotness scale..." She kisses his cheek before walking out of her bedroom with him.

"I, uh... Same with you, I guess?" Kevin got completely flustered at her compliments. "But you know, I would prefer seeing you as very beautiful no matter what you wear."

She giggles as she looks at him before smirking as she saw people staring at them. "See? What did I say? You're the eye candy between the two of us for today..."

He gulped and shyly hides behind her. "I hate it whenever you're right, sometimes... How do you even deal with all these people staring at you, Red?"

She hummed before making him look into her eyes by putting a finger under his chin. "Simple, I remind myself that I have the most amazing person right next to me. Then my confidence just skyrockets..."

His attention wasn't at her words whatsoever as he blushed while looking back at her. "Even in the most geeky clothing, you manage to make me swoon..."

The redhead playfully rolls her eyes at him fawning over her, squeezing his hand that she was still holding. "Focus, Kev... Remember, I'm right here. No one else matters, okay? Just ignore all the staring and focus on me."

Kevin shook his head to stop himself from swooning, nodding with a brand new confident look on his face. "Okay, I got it. Thanks, Red. You gave me the perfect amount of confidence I need."

Red didn't say anything more, simply nodding back as they continued about their day. Not caring if people were staring because they found them attractive or if it was because they looked silly. All that mattered to them was each other.

swanky fortune - part five | t.h.

Summary: the day of the premiere has finally arrived. Will you finally find out what kind of spoiler Tom was talking about?

Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader

Song I’ve listened to while writing: Loco Contigo by DJ Snake, J. Balvin and Tyga

Author’s Note: another chunk for you to read. I’ve enjoyed writing it, even though I’m so stressed from vacation and finding WiFi. Vietnamese WiFi sucks. The hotel we’re currently staying at doesn’t have good WiFi so I'll try to improvise and upload this chapter from my phone. Fingers-crossed that it’ll work.

PS: It didn’t work. But I sat down in the stairwell of the hotel and now my laptop actually connects to the wifi so

Warnings: mentions of alcohol, cursing

Word Count: 3,6k

Masterlist

As the alarm blared next to your ear the next morning, you groaned and rolled over in bed, smushing your face into the soft pillow. After Tom had left the evening before you spent a long time thinking about the conversation you’ve had with him just before he left.

“Would you stop acting like you’re such a burden to me? Is it so hard for you to believe that I actually like spending time with you?”

“I just don’t get why- I mean, I participated in a raffle to go to your premiere and meet you, so I’m obviously a fan of yours. We barely know each other, isn’t it weird for you? I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

“Hey, you’re not forcing me to do anything, okay? I want to spend time with you, you’re fun to be around. You’re not a burden. I’m doing this because I want to... Say yes if you understand.”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

You had to admit, you didn’t quite understand. Well, you did understand, you spoke English. You just didn’t understand how he could feel that way. You couldn’t wrap your head around the possibility, that you could gain (or perhaps already have??) Tom as a friend (or maybe even more?!). It all seemed so surreal.

Lucky for your brain, you didn’t have any time to tear on your hair: you had to get ready for a red carpet premiere!

After treating yourself for five more minutes of snoozing, you forced yourself out of the bed, knowing you were going to need every minute you could spare.

You unlocked your phone, hoping to have missed a text notification of someone, but the only notification you’ve gotten during the night was, the message that your phone was fully charged. With a heavy sigh, you stretched your arms and got dressed, wanting to grab some breakfast before you had to start getting ready.

A couple of hours later, you were sitting on the floor in front of the mirror, doing your make up. Your dress was hanging on the door of the closet, freshly ironed, your phone was blasting Shawn Mendes’ newest hit ‘Senorita’.

“But every touch is oh la la la, it’s true la la la,” you hummed to yourself, while filling in your eyebrows, when the song was interrupted by a series of loud pings, announcing what must have been a flood of texts coming in. Putting down the eyebrow kit, you’ve reached for your phone, scrolling through the texts.

Tom: hey Y/N I hope you’ve slept well, bc we have a full day in front of us🤙🏼🥳💃🏻🥂

Tom: I’m getting styled for the premiere rn and this is the only time I have the time to text you

Tom: wow that sounded so snobbish🤦‍♂

Tom: ANYWAY you’re getting picked up by a driver, I sent Harrison your number and he’ll text you when he’s there

Tom: I have to go now, they’re doing my hair and if I move even a centimeter, Nelly is going to kill me😬

Tom: see you later x

You grinned at the texts and your treacherous heart did a flip at the small x at the end of the last text. Your fingers hovered over the white bar, gnawing on your lip, you tried to think of something witty to reply, when another text came in, this time from an unknown number.

Unknown number: hi y/n! we’ll be at the hotel in like an hour, so get ready, you don’t want to be late!!

Unknown number: this is Harrison btw

You snorted out a laugh, saved the contact and decided against replying, sticking the charger back into the phone to resume to getting ready.

Several attempts of a winged eyeliner, curling eyelashes and blending eyeshadows later, you were finally done with your make up. Touching up on a few strands of hair, you unplugged your curling iron before clipping the front part of your hair back and stared at yourself in the mirror, exhaling softly.

This is it. You’ve kept your make-up fairly simple, sticking to things you know. Taking the dress of the hanger, you stepped into the dress and zipped it up behind your back. You sat down to put on your shoes, fastening the tiny strap and stood up in front of the mirror.

“You clean up nice,” you mumbled to yourself as you smoothed down the sides of the dress. You did look pretty. You just hoped you looked nice enough to not stand out like a sore thumb during the premiere.

Insistent knocking pulled you out of your thoughts. You narrowed your eyes, wondering who it might be, and as you opened the door, you were faced with a very handsome looking Harrison.

“What are you doing up here?” you blurted out and he grinned, shaking his head.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you’re annoyed to see me,” he said. “But since I do know better: I am here to escort you to the car.”

You flushed, realizing how rude you must have sounded.

“Sorry! I wasn’t just expecting you, that’s all,” you quickly said and he waved it off with a chuckle. “It’s fine. I know it wasn’t meant to be rude. Are you ready to go?”

“Yeah, I’ll be right out.”

You headed back into the room to grab your purse and phone, checked your teeth for lipstick stains in the mirror, before you returned to the door where Harrison was waiting for you.

“Okay, I’m ready.”

Harrison smiled at you.

“You look lovely, Y/N.”

“You look very dashing too, Harrison. Thanks,” you replied with a grin and he offered you his arm.

“May I?”

Laughing, you accepted his gesture and the two of you headed downstairs, chattering about the movie.

“Hi guys!” you greeted the rest of the group when you reached the car, climbing on a free seat.

A chorus of greetings were exchanged and soon everyone was talking over another, while the driver took you to the venue of the red-carpet premiere. The driver took a turn and suddenly, you were in front of a crowd, a huge Spider-Man balloon floated in the air and thousands of paparazzi were standing behind barricades, snapping pictures of people who were walking down the red carpet.

You felt your heartbeat quicken and you gulped, following everyone else when they climbed out of the car. Fans were screaming, you heard different reporters asking questions and the sound of pictures being taken filled your ears.

“You okay?” Nikki asked when she took in your pale face. She looked worried and let the boys walk a few feet before going to stand by your side.

You nodded quickly and gave her a shaky smile. “Yeah I’m fine. Just a little nervous, that’s all.”

“I totally get it. But you have nothing to be worried about,” she assured you and wrapped an arm around your shoulder in comfort.

“We’ll be here the whole time.”

You gave her a grateful smile and together you walked to the back of the red carpet. You caught sight of a few familiar celebrities amidst the crowd, though the main star of the event has yet to surface.

While a few fans recognized Harrison and the Hollands, you were happy to stay back while they took pictures with a couple of people. You were peeping over the heads, trying to catch a glimpse of Tom.

“You looking for someone?” someone asked behind you and when you turned around, he was standing in front of you, dressed in a dark red suit, brown glasses framing his pretty face.

Wow.

“You, actually,” you replied and he shot you a grin. “You look very handsome.”

His cheeks tinged a faint pink and he reached out to pull you in a hug. “Thanks. My stylist did a very good job. You on the other hand,” Tom said, pulling away to eye you up and down.

“Clearly are able to take care of yourself. You look beautiful.”

You rolled your eyes at him and blushed, huffing. He always found a way to make you feel like a little girl with a crush. It was ridiculous. Tom laughed at your reaction and pushed the glasses further up his nose, his smile suddenly widening.

“Oh look, there’s Zendaya!” he called out and you turned to look, while he waved her over.

“Z, this is Y/N. Y/N, this is Zendaya,” Tom introduced the two of you and you looked at the other girl in awe, holding a hand out.

“It’s so great to meet you, Zendaya. I’m a huge fan!” you gushed and she smiled warmly at you, knocking your hand away, hugging you instead.

“Oh!” you blurted out in surprise before you hugged her back.

“It’s nice to meet you! I’m glad you were able to come out to watch the movie with us. I love your dress, by the way,” Zendaya told you and you gaped at her.

“Are you kidding? Your dress is out of this world! I love the subtle homage to the new Spider-Man suit. You look amazing!” you complimented her and she beamed at you.

“Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it.”

“Didn’t you want to ask her something?” Tom asked, giving you a nudge.

“Oh yeah!” you said, suddenly remembering. “I was wondering how it was to kiss Zac Efron. I mean, he’s really hot and he has to be a good kisser, right?”

Now that you’ve actually asked her, you realized that it was a really dumb question to ask someone. She must think you were deranged. But if she did, she didn’t let it show.

“He was a pretty good kisser, yeah. But I’ve actually had better,” Zendaya replied with a smirk and you frowned in confusion. That sounded very ominous. But before you could ask for further explanation, she was called.

“Zendaya! Over here!” someone in the crowd yelled and she gave you and Tom an apologetic smile. “I’m needed elsewhere. But I’ll see you inside, yeah?”

With a wave, she disappeared into the crowd and you turned to Tom. “She’s had better? What’s that even supposed to mean?”

He shrugged nonchalantly, raising his hand to wave when his family joined you.

“That Spider-Man floatie is a bit overkill, don’t you think?” Harrison asked, leaning on Tom who only looked smugly at him.

“I think it’s perfect, actually. I’ve always wanted to look down on you.”

Harrison snorted and punched Tom lightheartedly.

“Oh shut up, div. But hey, I’m really proud of you, yeah?” The two embraced and you smiled as you watched them. You were glad that Tom had someone who stuck by him, no matter what. Harrison seemed like a great friend.

“What Harrison said,” Dom chimed in and Tom beamed at his father, slinging an arm around him.

“Thanks dad. It means a lot.”

Sam clasped Tom on the back before the whole family was hugging it out.

The sight made your eyes water a bit and you exhaled softly, as to not ruin your make up.

“Mr. Holland, we need you back on the carpet,” a young woman said, a headset on her ears.

“Yes, of course, sorry. I’ll see you guys inside, okay?” Tom promised and with one last meaningful glance in your direction, he disappeared with the woman.

After mingling around the red carpet for a little longer, Nikki and Dom herded you inside the movie theater, finding the seats that were reserved for you.

You were excited for the movie, you couldn’t wait to see how it would deal with the aftermath of Endgame and based on the trailers you’ve seen, you were ready to get your heart broken.

While the last people found their seats, you craned your head around and saw Tom sitting a few rows behind you. He was in an animated conversation with Jake Gyllenhaal and, holy shit that’s Jake Gyllenhaal, before Jake leaned over to whisper something to the younger man, who then turned his head in your direction, slowly grinning.

You glared at them and stuck your tongue out at them, before turning your eyes to the screen, though you could still feel Tom’s eyes on you.

“Here,” Harrison said, tossing you a box of tissues as he settled back in his seat, munching on some popcorn.

“What are these for?” you asked, waving the tissues around.

“You’re probably going to cry, better be prepared,” he replied and you snorted, grabbing a handful of popcorn.

“You wish,” you muttered, your eyes flittering to the screen as soon the lights dimmed, and the movie started playing.

Much like other Marvel movies, Far From Home immediately pulled you into the storyline, laughing at the jokes, cringing at secondhand embarrassment and also dabbing your eyes with the tissues Harrison brought you every now and then (you purposefully ignored the blonde’s grin as you did so).

The movie was nearing the end, you had goosebumps on the skin and your mouth was parted as MJ ran towards Peter on the bridge and they embraced tightly.

Your eyes followed the scene. And you whispered a quiet. “No…” as they kissed, receiving an elbow in the ribs from Harrison.

You turned your head and Tom was already looking at you, giving you a wink. What a jerk.

With a huff, you turned back to the movie, the thoughts in your head racing around.

Twenty minutes later, you exiting the movie theater, your mind completely blown. While Tom’s brothers talked excitedly with Harrison about the movie, while Tom’s parents navigated you through the building, you were busy thinking about that kissing scene and what Zendaya had told you before.

When she said, she’s had better kisses, that was an insinuation to Tom, you were sure. And you were also pretty sure that that was the spoiler Tom was talking about.

So what exactly did that mean?

Was that them indirectly telling you that they were dating? Surely Zendaya wouldn’t tell you that Tom was a good kisser because they were such good friends, right?

But why would Tom wink at you during that kissing scene? You were a bit confused, to say the least.

“Alright, you kids have fun, we’re heading back,” Nikki sighed and you gaped at her.

“What? You’re not coming to the after-show party?” you asked and she shook her head.

“No, we have an early flight tomorrow, Paddy’s going back to school Monday morning.”

Paddy nodded, though he seemed a bit subdued. You bet he was sad that the rest of his brothers were allowed to enjoy themselves, while he had to go home with his parents. You felt a bit bad for him.

“It was great to meet you, Y/N,” Dom told you and hugged you briefly, before Nikki and Paddy did the same.

“Yes, I’m really glad I got the opportunity to come out here with you guys,” you answered with a sad smile. You were sad to see them go, they really grew on you in the short time you got to know them.

“I’m sure we’ll meet again,” Nikki reckoned and you gave her an exasperated look.

“In what world? We don’t even live in the same country.”

She shrugged and gave you a sneaky wink. “You never know what’s going to happen in the future.”

You sighed in defeat. “I guess you’re right about that. Has anyone told you that you’re really wise?”

“Kiss-ass,” Harry coughed and looked at you innocently when you narrowed your eyebrows at him.

“What? Just had something in my throat.”

You rolled your eyes at him, but let it slide, waving at Nikki, Dom and Paddy when they left for the car.

“Alright, let’s go in,” Harrison said and the four of you headed inside the building where the after-show party was held.

The hall was decorated in the respective colors of Spider-Man: red and dark blue, without looking tacky. Upbeat music was coming out of the boxes that were standing in the room and everyone was enjoying themselves, mingling with drinks in their hands.

Following Harrison, you headed to the bar, skimming through the menu.

“I’d like a white wine, please,” you then ordered and Harry groaned, leaning his chin in his hand. “It sucks that I can’t have a beer.”

“A white wine, two cokes and a beer,” the waiter said, placing the drinks in front of you. The twins reached for non-alcoholic drinks with a sigh, while Harrison raised his beer.

“Cheers mate!” he said, overly cheerful and Harry knocked his glass into Harrison’s, causing the beer to spill all over Harrison’s hand.

“Whooops, sorry,” Harry apologized in a sweet tone and his friend glared at him, muttering a faint “Div.” under his breath.

“You’re both idiots,” you told them with your wine glass in your hand.

As the boys continued to bicker, you turned away with a snort, opting to watch your surroundings instead. You weren’t sure if Tom was already here, you hadn’t seen him while leaving the movie theater.

He was probably off with Zendaya doing god knows what. You shut your eyes and groaned internally. Why were you even acting all jealous and dumb? He wasn’t even yours to begin with, it wasn’t like you had a right to act like this?

You pinched the bridge of your nose, scolding yourself before regaining your composure. Letting your gaze wander, you saw Tom across the room, posing next to Zendaya, who was now wearing a beautiful dark green dress. He met your gaze, which you quickly averted, but out of the corner of your eye, you could see him excusing himself and walking over to you in quick, confident strides.

“Hey guys. Are you enjoying yourselves? What’d you think of the film?” Tom asked when he reached the bar, his hand on Harrison’s chair.

“The fighting scenes? Amazing! Even though I’ve been there during most of the scenes, it was still really cool to see it on the screen!”

“Honestly, I liked every scene Jake was in, even though he was the villain.”

Harrison nodded, agreeing with Sam as he sipped on his beer. “Jake killed it.”

“What’d you think?” Tom asked with an arched brow, noticing your conspicuous silence.

“Y/N’s embarrassed. She cried like a baby, you should’ve seen her,” Harrison told him.

“I get emotional during movies, okay?” you huffed at Harrison. “I loved the movie. I’m still processing it, if I’m being honest. Like, who even allowed this?”

Tom laughed and his eyes crinkled. “I know, it was pretty rough. I felt really bad when I was shooting some scenes, but hey, everything worked out in the end, right?”

“More or less,” you muttered underneath your breath, nipping on your wine. Tom snickered and gestured to the bartender for a beer, before hauling himself on a chair.

“So, the kissing scene was the spoiler, huh?” you asked quietly and he looked at you amused.

“Yep. What’d you think?”

You shrugged, keeping your voice light. “It was pretty cute. A bit awkward, though, but very fitting because it’s MJ and Peter.”

“I don’t even think that it was because of that,” Tom laughed, thanking the bartender when he got his beer.

“It was just awkward because it was Z and me. It’s really weird to kiss someone when you’re good friends with them.”

You nodded, absentmindedly, before it sunk in. Wait what?

“Wait, what did you just say?”

He gave you a look and took a gulp from his beer. “I said it’s weird because we’re such good friends.”

“You’re not dating?” you asked, stumbling over your words.

“What? No, of course not,” Tom looked at you funnily. “Why would you think that?

“Are you kidding me?” He had got to be kidding you.

“Why else would Zendaya say that ‘she’s had better’ when referring to kissing you on-screen?” you asked him and he flushed slightly, wiping the condensed water on his beer pint away.

“She was trying to be my wing-man.” He finally ground out, keeping his eyes on the counter.

Wait… Is he trying to say…?

“I’m just really bad at this, and Zendaya knows that I like you and she was trying to help me out. Sorry if I made it weird. I should probably go,” Tom mumbled and pushed himself off his chair, beer in his hand and flush on his cheeks.

He turned to leave and you reached out to pull him back, only to grab a fistful of air

“Wait!” you finally croaked out, having regained your ability to speak, but Tom had already disappeared between the people.

“Fuck,” you muttered and turned your head in every direction, eyes wide in panic. Your reaction really must have spooked him, even though you hadn’t even reacted yet. His confession just really caught you off guard.

But seriously, who would even tell their crush they liked them at a crowded party?

“Hey,” Harry asked, appearing next to you. “I saw Tom running off. Did something happen?”

You nodded and bit on your lip nervously. “I really need to find him,” you told him. Harry looked like he really wanted to know what exactly had happened, but you must have looked really upset, because he just gave you a nod and started asking the people around you, if they’ve seen Tom anywhere.

“I saw him leave out the back,” a waitress told you and Harry.

“Thanks!” you told her and immediately turned on your heel, leaving Harry to fend for himself while you headed towards the back of the building.

Ignoring the looks from the staff, you pushed open the heavy door, stepping out into the alleyway, sighing in relief when you see Tom leaning against the wall with closed eyes.

“Hey Tom,” you called out softly and he startled upon hearing your voice, opening his eyes to look at you. They were wide and vulnerable.

He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, you beat him to it.

“I like you too.”

no one dies and everyone's gay au

Nancy finds Barb when she gets stuck in the Upside Down when she's in the forest with Jonathan (don't ask me about the logistics) and so Steve ends up finding Jonathan and Barb in Nancy's room? And he's confused because at first he'd just seen Jon and thought Nancy was cheating but then he saw Barb walk into the room? (traumatic sleepover time! except Jon stays on the ground and Barb and Nance cuddle on the bed bc they're best friends and BARB WAS MISSING FOR LIKE TWO DAYS I THINK? she deserves snugs)

But Tommy and Carol started talking about how Nancy was probably sleeping with both, everyone knew Barb was the biggest d*ke in Hawkins, Nancy probably got curious about the other side!

He doesn't necessarily agree but still doesn't stop Tommy from spray painting the theater (because Nancy still lied to him? Lying generally meant there was something? going on? idk Steve's just confused and a little hurt rn)

The rest of the season goes pretty much the same, Barb's just there trying to not die and trying to help the Gang™ find Will and fight this bitch ass demogorgon (I don't think she's really be part of the Nancy and Jonathan luring it to the house and fighting it, she'd help with set up and the plan but I think she'd fuck right off when it comes down to facing it, she's had enough monsters for one life time thx)

But she'd so wanna help get Will out so she's there with Joyce and everyone talking to El while she's in the bath finding Will and talking Hop and Joyce about the Upside Down

(and she's been to the hospital, she didn't get a face sucking monster thing so she recovered quicker? idk don't ask logistics again lmao)

But she and Will end up getting along and sometimes when she's hanging out with Nancy and the party comes over she'll say hi to Will and like ruffle his hair

(also I want a little scene after the big monster hunting trip scene where a) Nancy and Jonathan explain everything to Steve and b) where Steve sees Barb again and pulls her into the biggest hug and starts like apologizing for not paying attention that night and for letting her get taken and even though she assured him it wasn't his fault he still feels guilty about it, it was his house, he should have helped her bandage her hand or something? idk but this right here is the beginning of the Barb/Steve friendship and the start of the "fall of King Steve")

cue s2

and so the four get really close, Jonathan and Steve are actually friends (idk what s2 was pulling but they're friends) and Barb talks to Nancy about Steve and Jonathan and Nancy ends up breaking up with Steve way earlier (bc you know none of that drama would have happened if Barb was there so)

But they're all still good friends, Steve's cool about the break up, and Nancy and Jonathan get together but it's not like right after? so it's all chill and they all went through a dramatic experience together so they remain close knit yeah

and Barb eventually comes out to them (everyone's supportive obviously) and Steve's is ready to throw down with anyone for her

cue Billy

the four of them are sizing up the new guy, Nancy doesn't really care, Jonathan thinks his hair is a little ridiculous (which I mean, that first day? when he steps out of the Camaro? yeah it was a lil rough), Barb can see right through his macho bullshit, and Steve? has a little bi meltdown. bc this kid has definitely had boy crushes before and knows he likes both (kid listens to queen of course he knew he was bi lmao)

blah blah blah s2 happens, Barb, Steve, and Billy have the same English class and Billys generally quiet during school, kinda stand-off-ish, only really bugs people during gym/basketball, but he literally sits in the back and does absolutely nothing during class and still somehow has the highest grade

(FUCK him and Barb get paired for a project and she fucking calls him out? like she's just like you're gay I'm lesbian you can cut the crap around me and they become...not friends? but they have solidarity, they're cool)

and I'm a slut for this trope but BILLY FIGHTS DEMODOGS WITH THEM lmao he hears Max sneak out and follows her and finds her in the junkyard armouring up a bus with fucking Harrington and a couple of nerds? and like the sun is setting and he needs to get Max home so he's like "Maxine! I don't know what the fuck this is and I don't fucking care, we gotta go!" and the four are like yelling at him to either leave or get in the bus! and he's so confused, I'm not here to play games Max! and Steve's running out of the bus with a FUCKING NAIL BAT WHAT THE FUCK HARRINGTON? And Steve's like behind you! and swings at a demodog. Billy has a borderline panic attack before he finds like a fender or exhaust pipe or whatever and starts swinging too

the dogs run away and Billy rounds onto Steve like what the living shit was that? and Steve has to explain everything with Dustin and Lucas interrupting and Max shrugging and trying to understand too? it's a mess

s2 continues with Billy and with HOPPER NOT BEING ABLE TO STAND HIM bc he's caught him speeding and underage drinking and shit and Billy's nervous as hell around cops which makes him mouthy and ITS A MESS

they're all at Joyce's (Barb's there too bc Will's possessed and they need to check up on her too? and she's concerned for Will anyway yeah she's in this too) and El shows up and Steve and Billy are just like what? another one? who the fuck? like Steve heard about her but this isn't a tiny child without hair??? idk it's funny

BILLY WITH AN AXE IN THE TUNNELS

(obviously Steve isn't passed out and the kids don't drive the car, it's Billy's awful impulse control that leads to them going into the tunnels)

okay I couldn't decide where to put Barb here? so I left her with Steve and Billy to babysit and she ends up in the tunnels too? and she's def handling it better than the boys are fuck yeah

Steve has his bat and is in front and Billy found an axe in the pile of shit from the Byers' shed and he pulls up the end

it's awesome

yada yada Steve and Billy end up becoming weirdly good friends by the end and he's good with him and Barb, idk about Nance and Jon but eh

s3 now

Billy ends up getting two jobs; lifeguard and cook at Benny's (bc he's alive too, fight me bitches this is the ultimate fix it) and Barb ends up working as a waitress there too (and working together builds the weirdest bonds so they are besties now)

everything in s3 is pretty much the same but with diner scenes too? and like all the Hawkins moms swarm Benny's too and leave lipstick stains on their kitchen tips and "send my compliments to the chef *wink*"

Billy eats it up but Barb can tell he also kinda hates it bc he's barely 18 and not even remotely into women and it makes him super uncomfortable but publicly he "loves" it (he starts wearing tank tops to the pool and tries to hide out in the kitchen but it really doesn't work)

he still gets caught up with the mind flayer but it's not bc he's about to sleep with Karen bc ew, idk why he's driving out by the warehouse idk maybe he's out on a drive bc he can't sleep yeah

anyway he gets caught up but like he knows, or kind of knows, what this is and calls in sick to both jobs and talks to Hopper bc WHAT THE FUCK isn't the gate closed? I got face fucked my an interdimensional monster so unless you know where the fuck that came from?? and they deal with it earlier (most of the shit still happens but it's less...messy? like Hop and Joyce are more involved in the Billy shit and Steve knows about it?)

Steve still gets caught up with the Russians (I don't think he'd have a chance to tell anyone (specifically Hopper) bc he finds out about Billy then the elevator stuff happens like right after and yada yada)

so for most of the season it's them trying to actually help Billy! and they end up saving a lot of people? (specifically Heather bc she was really nice to Billy and I want he to live fight me it's my au)

but enough people get melted and shit that starcourt still get destroyed blah blah blah!

but Billy makes it and so does Hop and Alexie (no one dies au) and they all end up doing the thing in the mall like they did in the shed with Will? like breaking Billy out? Barb talks about working at the diner and their secret and Steve talks about them hanging out and playing basketball and the tunnels and Max talks about Billy buying her a new board and them scream-singing along to ACDC in the Camaro and the kids mention him giving them rides and shit and yeah! El talks about his mom and that's it! Joyce and Hop close the gate while Billy's holding the one arm (he doesn't get stabbed in the chest, as cool as that scar would be, no...but he gets some on his hands and upper arms and his sides?)

(also Billy's drinking like bleach rn so they try and reverse that as much as possible while he's possessed so that he has a better recovery later bc no! chlorine is not good for you! and Billy tries so hard to not drink it but sometimes he can't fucking stop? idk but he has a support system now!)

and Robin came out to Steve and Steve comes out to her too? like kinda? he alludes to it vaguely bc he's so not ready to be out to anyone FUCK

And Billy comes out to Steve (he was planning on doing it earlier that summer but shit happened)

and Robin becomes friends with everyone (ITS ROBIN X BARB HOURS BITCHES)

(OKAY small like side shit? Benny and Hopper have known each other for years and Benny's like one of the only registered foster parents on Hawkins so he ends up fostering a lot of wayward kids while Hop figures out legal stuff (he hasn't adopted anyone yet but him and his husband (yeah Benny's gay deal with it) really want to? they just haven't yet, all the kids they take care of end up in their care temporarily) BUT Hop finds out about Billy and Max's home life (I know a lot of people write that Neil wouldn't hit Max but...nah son not how that works? idk but he needs to get them out? and Neil's bad to Susan too (he's the worst to Billy but still bad to Max and Susan) anyway Hop helps Susan leave Neil (it takes a while and Billy and Max end up with Benny for a little bit while the divorce is going down and all the legal shit yeah it's safer out of the house rn) long story short Billy ends up staying with Benny after everything and ends up getting adopted (they're like we know you're 18 and you don't need a guardian but if you want we can be your dads? and Billys like yeah sure that'd be nice and yeah) Hop ends up being a weird like uncle figure? idk like I said him and Benny are close and they both adopted kids so yeah? and Billy ends up considering El his little sister and he still visits Max and Susan and yeah?)

ANYWAY everything kind of calms down, Hop and Joyce get together (I just realized I forgot about Bob so...idk I guess this isn't an everyone survives au? no no that's weird um idk him and Joyce end up breaking up idk why) but yeah Hop and Joyce get together and like it's kind of fast but they've been in love for a long time so it's kind of fine? like idk but yeah

Barb and Robin get together (ITS FUCKING CUTE they go to aquariums and have paint dates where they sit on some old sheets and paint while listening to Robin's records ITS CUTE!)

STEVE COMES OUT TO EVERYONE! he definitely cries bc fuck he was scared! bc he likes both and he wasn't sure if that was a thing or whatever for a while and Billy's like oh yeah, like David Bowie or Freddie Mercury? and that's when Steve's cries bc oh thank God you guys get it and you're cool with it oh fuck and YEAH

UM Max is bi too, Will comes out as gay (listen I know none of this is like 80's realistic but everyone's gay and alive and happy, fuck off)

Um it takes forever for Billy and Steve to get together, it's awful. like Barb and Robin have to deal with their pining and shit? and like Robin hears about it from Steve at work and Barb hears about it from Billy at the diner and they put their knowledge together and make a Plan ™

it's like elaborate and dramatic (shut up they're all like 18-19) and shit? BUT LMAO okay one day they're all hanging out at Steve's (bc I've also hopped aboard the neglectful parents train sorry) and idk Steve and Billy are there before Robin and Barb are so the girls walk in on them arguing over whatever and like Billy's talking really fast and Steve's talking with his hands and idk what it's about but Billy ends up yelling that he loves him BUT THEY KEEP ARGUING FOR LIKE A SOLID MINUTE AFTER THAT BEFORE IT HITS THEM and Steve gets all quiet and is just like you love me? and Billy doesn't fucking know what to do?? he's like bright red and frozen and Robin and Barb are by the door trying to not like break the spell (bc it's been months guys) and Billy's like of course I do asshole and Robin thinks Steve's about to have a panic attack but he like rushes forward and cups Billy's face and kisses him senseless and it's like the best thing Robin and Barb have ever seen

and they're resting their foreheads together, Steve's still holding Billy's face and Billy has his hands on Steve's chest it's really tender but Robin's like yeah congrats and shit but you guys ruined our Plan™! and she gives them a long ass rundown of their elaborate scheme and Steve and Billy are like still touching and bumping into each other as they listen and Barb interrupts and says that this was better and Robin rolls her eyes but agrees

and they're watching a movie or whatever, cuddling in their respective couples and Steve fucking jumps up randomly and rounds on Billy like hey woah fuck I love you too, I didn't say that earlier! and Billy's looking up at him like yeah I know that asshole and yeah

#okay this is s u p e r long sorry #but also not #harringrove #robin x barb #fix-it #stranger things #the ultimate fix-it #pls ask me stuff about this im so down to ramble about this?#pls #fic #my stuff #also idk how to do keep reading thungs so sorry 😬#also i barely mention nancy jon the kids or the adults #this is about my gay quad #buckland #bobin #my writings

First Time: Kissing

Request: I’m a sucker for first kiss reactions, could you do a first kiss reaction for monsta x? ps. not sure if this is deliberate but your anon is turned off :)

Thank you for requesting! We hope you like it and we have now turned anon on for requests.

- Admin Wonhoe & Admin Hyungwon

Shownu/Son Hyunwoo (Written by: Admin Wonhoe)

You are part of the student government at your university and there’s a fundraising carnival being held for a local orphanage in need of supplies

It’s like the whole shabang. Cotton Candy. An unhealthy amount of fried foods. Couples winning prizes for each other

But you don’t get to enjoy any of it because you’re working a popular booth

THE KISSING BOOTH TA-DA

You didn’t expect many people to want to pay 25 cents for a peck on the lips you know

But the line proves you wrong immediately

Lol the line wasn’t for you though. It was for you partner. Son Hyunwoo. People around campus called him Shownu. He was part of the student government too.

The line of girls for the kissing booth could probably wrap around a building twice if you had to take a random guess

You weren’t like disappointed or anything at least he was raising money for a good cause you know

So you sat back on your stool with your baby soft lips which weren’t being put to good use right now

Like why did you spend a whole week keeping them moisturized

For nothing apparently BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED TO KISS YOU

Like to compare you had maybe $5 in quarters

But Shownu had dollar bills in his jar. Way more than $5

So the night goes on an yeah you get a few more kisses but it seemed like Shownu’s line never even got shorter

At this point it was like 10 PM and the carnival was ending slowly but surely.

It was time to take the kissing booth down but there was still al line of girls.

Shownu apologizes to everyone still in line in literally the most polite way ever and you’re melting from the boyfriend look he’s sporting right now.

The group of girls left simultaneously groan but leave because they literally have to now

Shownu is like inspecting his jar with a proud smile on his face

“Wow, this was a big success wasn’t it-”

He sees your jar and the significant difference in amounts is obvious.

“Yeah, you did such a good job Shownu! We should do this again for sure. I didn’t realize you were such a heartthrob. You must have at least $50 in your jar.” But you know, he’s very observant so he sees the upset look on your face

“Nonsense, I’m sure you have more than I do!” You scoff. YOU SCOFF right in his face.

“Don’t be ridiculous. I made $6 at most.”

“No, I’m serious look at your jar!”

You look down at your pathetically empty jar and you’re so confused because this is literally almost empty

And then you look back up

AND BAM Shownu’s very plump, very soft, very kissable lips are on yours.

You’re surprised they’re not more idk chapped or something he’s been kissing for 5 hours straight

But you kiss him back

Because your mom always told you to follow your dreams and you were pretty sure you dreamt about this one time.

Shownu gently takes the jar out of your hands and places it on the table and he cups your face in his hands while he kisses you.

You involuntarily wrap your arms around his neck because that’s what happens in all romantic kisses and you’re not about to jinx it by not doing it.

So you guys kiss for what seems like a really long time.

Like when Shownu pulls away you’re kind of panting in each others faces and you can smell the mint on his breath

And he gives you that smile YOU KNOW THAT SMILE OF HIS? The one that can end wars? He gives you that one.

And he reaches over onto the table and shakes your jar a little bit while lifting it up to eye level.

Inside is a hundred dollar bill and your eyes widen bc holy shit

Did Shownu just pay $100 to give you the kiss of your life

You bet your ass he did

Only one sentence comes out of your mouth

“…I wonder if this is what strippers feel like.”

Wonho/Hoseok (Written by: Admin Wonhoe)

Ok you’re casually in like Victoria’s Secret trying to find some bras or something spicy idk but the point is you’re there right

And you’re really just browsing to find the right size and stuff

But like you hear the most annoying laugh you have ever heard

And it sounds close

You know who it is

Your ex

WHY HE HERE

You look around the store and you spot him hand in hand with another girl

Of course he would have another girl already

It’s been like a month.

You try to sneak your way to the opposite end of the store but you end up dropping every bra in your hands.

So now you’re hiding near the floor between racks and suddenly some guy is in front of you, helping you pick bras up

How embarrassing

But also at least he gets to see your cute new bras because nobody else will (your DMs are dry as heck)

Oh no oh no oh no

Your ex-boyfriend is definitely coming this way

“Hey Hey. My name is Y/N. I need you to pretend be my boyfriend for like 5 minutes. My ex is here and oh god this is embarrassing.”

The look on this guys face

Is not as surprised as you thought it would be

And oh god he’s handsome

“Yeah. Sure. I’m Wonho.”

“Great. You’re a lifesaver.”

You stand up, pulling Wonho up with you hoping your ex doesn’t see you

But with your luck

He will

And oh look here he comes

“Wow. Y/N. I didn’t think you even knew Victoria Secret existed. At least not from what I remember. Do you even know what lingerie is?”

You’re about to speak up

But Wonho beats you to it.

“Trust me,” THE COCKY SMIRK ON WONHO’S FACE IS SO BELIEVABLE

“She definitely knows what lingerie is.” lol you’re blushing.

“And who the fuck are you?”

“I’m her boyfriend. I would say it’s nice meeting you but you tried to disrespect my girlfriend right in front of me so it’s not.”

The girl right next to your ex chimes in next

“There’s no way you’re with her. You’re out of her league. This has to be a joke.”

“I can assure you we’re very much together.” You’re also very much lying out of your ass

“There’s nothing even pretty about her. She’s average at best”

“Well I mean average is an understatement. What are those?” Wonho gestures to the items in your exes hand.

“Those have to be what, B cups at most? While you’re playing with a child I got a real woman right here. Not that I’m all about looks I mean have you had her lasagna? I should’ve wifed her up then and there.” WHAT A FUCKING BLUFF BUT WONHO BUT SO GOOD.

“Oh man that lasagna was great I remember it….” the girl next to your ex smacks his arm and you hold back a laugh.

“Have you ever had someone take care of you when your sick? Y/N is the full package. Soup, medicine, warm socks. WARM SOCKS DUDE.” Okay maybe now Wonho was hyping you up a bit too much

When you’re about to say something he cuts you off?

“And holy shit have you seen those lips? I could kiss them all day if she’d let me. I bet they’ve never been chapped a day in her life. And they always taste like strawberry. AND she wears lipstick that won’t rub off on me. That comes in handy if you know what I mean.” Your ex literally has no words to say now and the girl next to him is fuming.

“Just talking about those lips drives me crazy. Anyway run along now. Y/N and I have some shopping to do for an important date.” Wonho winks before leaning down towards your face.

At this point your ex is being dragged away by the girl he was with.

You expect wonho to pull away as soon as they’re out of sight

BUT HE DOESN’T!!!!!!!!

He plants his lips right on yours right in the middle of this Victoria Secret (Right in front of someone’s salad).

They’re really freaking warm and he’s really freaking gentle despite looking so big and tough.

Like one hand is gently caressing one side of your face and the other hand is on the small of your back pulling you in a little closer.

And it’s kind of perfect?

You’ve never had a kiss like this

Usually it was like the other guy was trying to eat your face and there were teeth clashing and tongues literally fighting for dominance

But suddenly with this stranger it’s butterflies and fireworks and just enough tongue

Wonho pulls away slowly and it’s been like 2 minutes since your ex left but you were just really enjoying that kiss.

“Wow. OKAY. Can I pretend to be your boyfriend for a little longer?” You blush a little bit because he’s such a good guy and he’s handsome and he wants to be your fake boyfriend longer

“Yeah okay. We can fake date a little longer if to buy me real dinner!”

Both of you laugh

The fake dating isn’t fake for long.

Kihyun (Written by: Admin Hyungwon)

You and Kihyun are roommates (and they were roommates, oh my gosh they were roommates), living together because it was a cheap place why not

So you guys were probably like arguing or something. Probably about groceries, or you didn’t like how he folded the towels.

The whole deal of you two picking on each other, and none of you would admit this was all just innocent teasing, you two seemed like you were going at it.

Eventually you did actually start getting at it. Very intense, words start flying.

“At least I clean my room!”

“You can’t even put the milk back in the fridge!”

Next thing you know you screamed at him that he never did any of the dishes and now you guys are just staring at each other, faces inches apart.

You both looked mad though, arms crossed, gritted teeth.

You don’t even know what the fuck happened my dude. You were ready to throw punches because of how he folded that stupid towel.

And now he had his lips on yours like what the actual fuck?

He kissed you first, though. Like this boy grabbed your face and smashed it on his.

For some reason you didn’t pull away?????

In fact, you kissed him harder????

You physically pulled yourself closer to him, wanting no space in between.

It was very confusing for you.

But Kihyun was not at all phased during this. You felt yourself hesitate in the beginning, but not once did he even stop.

Eventually, he pressed you against the wall, not even flinching once. Wow what a whole man.

You have lived with this boy for months and you don’t know how you never thought about how soft his lips were. There wasn’t even a thought in your mind that you two would kiss.

Yet here you two were, your back pressed against the wall, Kihyun cupping your face, making sure your lips stayed on his.

It was hungry kissing, the kind that felt like separating would be torture.

It went on for a long time though. Like a very long time. Lungs begging for oxygen long time.

When you both finally come up for air, you’re both shocked.

Well, more you than him. He was actually smirking, trying to catch his breath.

Your mind kept racing, though. Why did Kihyun kiss you? Where did all that energy come from? Why didn’t he let go of the stupid towel that started the argument while he was kissing you?

You didn’t get off the wall, and he wasn’t moving either. You both just kind of stared at each other, trying to breathe.

You broke the silence first.

“…you still fold towels wrong no matter how good you kiss.”

“Oh my God Y/N, are you going to yell at me about towels or are we going to kiss again?”

Apparently kissing again was an option.

Minhyuk (Written by: Admin Hyungwon)

The first thing you need to know?

This boy planned this kiss.

Okay, maybe he didn’t plan it to happen the way it did, but he had been planning to kiss you.

You two had been just friends, but this boy could not stop thinking about what would happen if he just went for it.

One day, you had gone over to just chill with him like you always do.

You were sitting next to him on his bed, playing random songs on your phone, innocently leaning against him.

This poor boy could literally smell your hair, and he didn’t want to do anything impulsive. You were right there though, the girl had he had a crush on for ages.

He should’ve been used to you being this close to you. But, this day in particular made it hard for him to concentrate.

It was probably because he knew outside the door the other boys were listening intently.

You had finally chosen a playlist to keep, then threw your phone to the edge of the bed.

“Hey Minhyuk, I have a question.”

You suddenly spoke and he jumped. You sounded serious though, it kind of made him nervous.

“Why in the hell is your heartbeat so fast?”

Poor Minhyuk had no idea what to say. Like????

You were sitting there, smirking at him because his heartbeat was going ten thousand miles a minute.

He could have said something like he was exercising before you got there, or he was thinking about something that made him nervous.

Maybe he could have told the truth and admitted he liked you.

But no. You know what this boy says?

“I was thinking about ordering a pizza.”

First thing that comes out his mouth, yup. He could practically hear the boys outside groaning.

He was mentally kicking himself though. Ordering a pizza.

He saw the slight disappointment in your eyes though. Or maybe he just imagined that. He couldn’t be sure though, you leaned back on him.

The music kept playing, and all he could think about was if he should just go for it.

You had repositioned yourself, your head now laying on Minhyuk’s chest. This was making it so much harder for Minhyuk to not kiss you right now.

Especially when you started singing along to the music and he was completely focused on your lips.

What did it for him was when you got a lyric wrong and you pouted.

That pout made it nearly impossible for Minhyuk to not kiss you now.

I mean hey, there’s lips. They’re out. Minhyuk wants to smooch them.

He didn’t mean to do it. He was trying to face you, but you weren’t exactly paying attention.

So, instead of some romantic, look in eyes deeply like he wanted, he accidentally pushed you off the bed.

Yup. Homeboy pushed you off the bed.

He immediately got off the bed to help you up though. He kept apologizing, his hands on your shoulders, making sure you weren’t badly hurt.

You were trying to reassure him that you were okay though, actually laughing a little.

“Minhyuk! I’ve fallen off this bed before I’m not going to die from that.”

“I’m so sorry, Y/N. I didn’t mean to I swear—”

He kept apologizing profusely before he made eye contact with you. His apologizing stopped immediately.

He just kind of…stayed there, his hands on your shoulders, head tilted, looking at you. You could tell he was worried though, or was it nervous?

He finally talked after a while. His voice wavered, so you figured he was nervous. What he said though just kind of shocked you.

“So uh…I’m…I’m gonna kiss you now.”

MINHYUK TRIED TO MURDER YOU WITH A SENTENCE. NOT CLICKBAIT.

Also. What were you supposed to do with that information? Literally, in reply you just kind of squeaked and nodded.

He was slow about it too. He was the one telling you he was going to kiss you then took his sweet ass time doing it. His hands were shaking as he went to cup your face, so that was probably why he was going slow.

When he finally did it though, wow. You felt what movies describe.

Fireworks, butterflies, air leaving your lungs, the whole thing.

He did it so softly too?????

You don’t know why that surprised you. You knew he had the softest looking lips ever. But, feeling them pressed on yours????

Wow what a feeling.

You kissed him back, trying to be as soft a kisser as him.

You pulled away first, wanting to ask him what that was all about. But when you did, you saw Minhyuk grinning from ear to ear.

“Y/N you had no idea how long I have been waiting to do that.”

Now it was your turn to be speechless and say stupid stuff.

Instead of saying something meaningful or maybe kissing him again. You know what you said?

“Hey, does this mean we’re ordering pizza?”

Wow. A true match in heaven.

Jooheon (Written by: Admin Hyungwon)

All you wanted to do was be a good sister and take your brother out to watch a baseball game.

It sounded so nice at first.

Hot dogs, foam fingers, possible cute guys with bats.

Sure you got all of those, but baseball was so boring?

You didn’t remember it being so boring, but whatever. Your brother seemed to be enjoying himself.

He’s just sitting there, waiting for a foul ball to come his way so he can catch it or whatever.

Everything’s going smoothly, you guess.

You don’t know.

What even is a baseball?

You were slouching in your seat now because it was just the same and you were just bored. Even the excited chatter coming from your brother couldn’t keep you from not being bored.

Finally, there was a break and you could finally pry your attention away from the boys with bats without it being considered rude to those around you.

You heard cheering and wondered what was happening. Like what are they cheering for nobody’s playing.

When you turned to look at the jumbotron, you saw that it was time for the famous kiss cams.

You know the ones. They picked two poor souls, couple or not, and then the crowd pressures them to kiss.

Luckily, the ones that were chosen all seemed to be couples since they looked so comfortable with each other.

You were hoping for like….mascot dances or something.

So there was a break, but you were still so bored because what were you going to do?

Watch other people kiss each other?

Be reminded that you literally haven’t been kissed in a while?

No thanks, you’ll just chill.

But then your brother is gasping and slapping your arm, repeatedly saying “jumbotron”.

You looked up to see who the poor unfortunate souls were and then realized that it was you up there.

Maybe a doppelganger?

Nope it was definitely you.

And it was focused not just on you (that’s not how kiss cams work) but also the guy sitting next to you.

You hadn’t paid attention to him because why did you have to?

All you knew was that he was equally as bored as you were. And actually, he looked very confused from time to time.

When you turned to look at him, he was already staring at you, shock in his eyes.

And lemme tell you.

This boy was handsome.

So handsome.

There was no doubt in your mind, or any other person’s mind in this arena that he was handsome.

You should’ve stared at him more throughout the game. You might have actually enjoyed yourself more.

The crowd kept cheering, trying to get you guys to kiss but like?

You had no idea who he was. What if he had a girlfriend? What if he didn’t want to kiss you?

He just kinda smiled at you though. It was like this little half-smile that you knew he probably used on all the girls.

Mostly because it made your heart melt.

He was that handsome. He hadn’t said a single word to you yet and he was already ruining your life.

“I mean…we can’t defy the jumbotron right?” He finally spoke.

Were you supposed to say no???

A cute stranger really just agreed to go along with a kiss cam so there’s like a 100% chance that you’re going to get kissed.

And of course the crowd just keeps edging you two on to kiss.

So logically, you decide to kiss him.

You actually kissed him first, which caught him by surprise.

He was a really good kisser???

Like you expect a kiss with a stranger to be awkward and short but nope.

He was kissing you like he had done it a million times before.

And for that reason only you just kept kissing him because wow this is better than any hotdog you ate today.

He actually tilted your chin up with his fingers, to keep your head still during the kiss.

Sadly, even the best of kisses have to end.

But, you wished it didn’t end because your brother had interrupted, telling you that you guys were off the jumbotron.

You didn’t really realize how warm this guy’s lips were until after you had separated and the cold hit your lips.

“I’m Jooheon, by the way,” he smiled at you, introducing himself.

“Y/N,” you smiled back.

“You know we should do that again sometime. Preferably not on a jumbotron. But maybe at the movies?”

Hyungwon (Written by: Admin Hyungwon)

Your friends decided that hey, you need a date.

You didn’t agree with them but they were very persistent.

They kept telling you that he was cute, amazing, really talking him up.

Finally, you just gave in. You’ll see exactly how cute and amazing this boy was.

You showed up at the restaurant, trying to find the guy, but there’s like 500 guys all sitting alone.

“Hi, are you Y/N?”

You turn around and see nobody other than Hyungwon.

He looks like a whole meal with his suit and tie, his hair all looking nice.

And his smile. It could possibly have been the key to world peace.

You thought your friends were lying when they gushed about how cute he was. But nope. He was cute. Super cute. You kinda felt like you wanted to die because of how cute he is.

You realize that yikes, you’ve just been staring at him.

“Yeah. You’re Hyungwon?” you were stuttering, tucking your hair behind your ear.

“Yeah. Wow they told me that you were pretty but they didn’t tell me you’d be gorgeous.”

Your face goes bright red. He just called you gorgeous and you are so paralyzed you can’t even say coherent sentences.

He kind of feels that you’re nervous and just guides you to a table.

The rest of the date went off without a hitch.

After you got past your nervousness at least.

The beginning of the date was you hiding behind the menu because you were expecting a horrible date, but now you gotta actually make a good impression.

He was nervous too, but god forbid he’d show his nervousness to you despite you being a jittery mess.

It was when you both ordered the same drink at the same time and then started laughing right after did you both start to loosen up.

You guys connected so well after that.

He was funny, interesting, and he didn’t seem bored when you talked his ear off about your favorite book.

Instead he asked to borrow it? Like he was really interested in this book (and you obviously).

But also, you could listen and watch him talk for the rest of your life.

You guys were at a really expensive restaurant (apparently a huge first date place) and you know what this guy was talking to you about?

Not money, or his job, or anything like that.

He was talking to you about how he saw the biggest teddy bear in target.

(In your mind you were thinking that he was the biggest teddy bear)

The more you guys talked the more you thought, wow, maybe being in a relationship wouldn’t be so bad if it was with him.

The thought of kissing him kept creeping in your mind.

Like he had such soft looking lips. You just wanted to smooch them.

Maybe like a peck, just to see what they’d feel like on yours.

But no this was the first date and you told yourself you wouldn’t kiss anyone on the first date no matter how great he was.

Apparently that thought process took a while and you had zoned out because next thing you know, hyungwon is waving his hands in front of you trying to get his attention.

“Y/N? Oh my god I’m so sorry am I boring you?” He was apologizing??? Because he thought you were bored???? You were actually just thinking of kissing him though.

“No no! I’m sorry I was just distracted.”

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah I was just-“

You stop there. Were you about to tell him that you were fantasizing about kissing him?

Not in front of your salad you weren’t.

He looked at you confused so of course you had to keep talking.

Well, actually you were babbling. You seemed as nervous as you were at the beginning of the date.

But this time it was because you were trying to not think of kissing him.

Suddenly

The worst thing happened.

You ended your babbling with “And I know I don’t kiss on the first date but it’s getting extremely hard not to, you know?”

And you are mortified.

You just told Hyungwon, the boy you were set up with, that on your first date, a couple hours knowing each other, you wanted to kiss him.

I mean, it could have been worse. You could have said something way more forward and then get rejected.

But in that moment you were just kind of panicking.

But he leans forward on the table?

And you were also leaning forward the entire time, so now you guys are super close and you can feel his breath?

“Yeah,” he finally speaks. “I definitely know.”

And he presses his lips against yours??????

Your heart is beating so fast you think you’re about to explode.

His lips are as soft as you imagined, possibly even softer.

You start to pull away to like I don’t know thank him or say something dumb.

But nope, he’s not having it and he leans forward, making your lips meet his again and you are so thankful he did because you can’t have enough.

This is probably like super pda but nobody is stopping you and you two definitely aren’t stopping.

Well eventually you two do stop because you can only kiss for so long.

“So does this mean there’s a second date?” He was smiling so wide, looking so hopeful.

You started to say yes, nodding your head when the waiter comes up to you guys.

“We closed an hour ago.”

I.M/Changkyun (Written by: Admin Wonhoe)

Okay so with Changkyun it started off as a dare but it turned out great in the end

Changkyun and the other guys often went to like an indoor pool when they were bored

And you were a lifeguard there right

So all of the other guys knew Changkyun had the BIGGEST crush on you but he never really acted on it because he’s a baby.

So one day Minhyuk was like “I dare you to kiss Y/N at the pool today”

And Changkyun was like

“No way I’m not gonna do it just because you dared me to”

Then Wonho chimes in

“I double dare you”

And Changkyun’s smile drops

Bc oh shit a double dare is serious. Can’t back out now. It must be done.

So he has to do it. Today.

He needs a plan or at least an excuse to talk to you.

So confident Changkyun walks up to the lifeguard tower with a little pep in his step you know

And he finally gets there

And

He has no idea what to say to you

He could go with like ‘hey I like your eyes’ but he couldn’t even see them from the bottom of the tower.

‘I like your shoes’

You didn’t have any on

‘Wow isn’t the weather nice today’

You were inside

Changkyun spent 10 minutes there before giving up and diving into the pool

The pool didn’t allow that but you let it slide because he was cute.

He spends the next hour hanging with the guys and swimming and trying to devise a way to get you to kiss him

And then it hits him.

Literally why hadn’t he thought of this sooner.

Changkyun quickly gets up from the sitting area where all the guys were hanging out the past 10 minutes.

And he just casually wades through the water.

You of course have your eyes all over the pool darting from kid to kid and the occasional grown man like Changkyun.

You’re distracted by a coworker for a minute until you hear splashing and thrashing

You turned your head so fast your sure you almost gave yourself whiplash

You can’t quite tell who it is underwater but your duty as a lifeguard has you jumping off the tower and into the pool in a split second

And you swim and swim until you get to the thrashing and you try to help whoever it is towards the edge of the pool.

There’s no way you’re going to be able to get him out

“Changkyun!” You hear from the edge and suddenly this guys body is being lifted out of the pool by a whole group of guys

You pull yourself up and get to work. You put your ear to his chest and listen carefully to hear if he’s breathing. He doesn’t really respond to anything so you start CPR

You place your hands, one on top of the other, in the middle of his chest and begin compressions. 100, just like you were taught in that CPR class.

You swore you saw one of his eyes open slightly so you stopped but he wasn’t magically all better

After no response still you begin mouth-to-mouth and you know that works because the water he coughs up goes all over your face which is something they don’t tell you will happen when you take a CPR class by the way.

Changkyun immediately sits up and begins apologizing through his coughing

He nearly died and he’s,,,,,,apologizing,,,,,,,what an angel

The other guys begin bombarding him with questions but you insist they back off and give him room but you stay by his side.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, thanks for like saving my life. Sorry about the whole water in your face thing.”

“It’s okay. Just be careful next time. I’m gonna go file my incident report now.”

You leave and Changkyun stares at the other guys with wide eyes.

“That’s not what I planned but I think I completed your dare.”

The other guys are like wtf

“SHE PUT HER LIPS ON MINE”

“Did you,,,,plan,,,,,,that,,,,,Changkyun,,,,,,”

“Well I planned the CPR part but I was supposed to be faking it you know like in the Sandlot movie. But I guess I pretended to drown too well and I ended up taking in a lot of water when I was under and I really did start drowning after I got a cramp in my leg…”

“The point is she kissed me.”

Kihyuns kinda smirking, “Did she really kiss you?”

“Yeah you guys totally saw it!”

“Are you sure about that Changkyun?” Hyungwon has a smug look on his face and Changkyun is confused about what’s going on because it literally just happened didn’t they see it

“Why are you guys acting weird?”

Changkyun jumps when he feels a tap on his shoulder and he turns around only to be face to face with you

“I came over to to ask for your name for my incident report but I guess I won’t need to ask anymore will I, Changkyun?”

“I,,,I,,,I,,,,,,,,please DON’T GET ME BANNED FROM THE POOL I LOVE THIS PLACE.”

“I won’t get you banned if you tell all my coworkers I really did kiss the pools resident cutie.”

“Well who is this guy? I’ll vouch for you.” The other guys facepalm bc Changkyun is a dummy

“It’s you! They triple dog dared me to kiss you and now that I told them I did they don’t believe me.”

“Oh my gosh, hear that guys! I’m the resident cutie.”

“WAIT, you’re friends with manly muscles (shownu) AND dimple daddy (jooheon)?”

“wait..what….”

That’s it.

I wrote a Cheryl x Toni thing. Bc I’m obsessed. There is background core four drama. (bc i love it)

It's been two weeks since the Southside students started stinking up the halls, and Cheryl is not amused. She hates every last one of them and their greasy hair, tattoos and extensive use of flannel. Since Josie is still busy with her band and (ugh) flirting with Reggie, Cheryl has needed something else to do. It has taken her a bit of effort, but she has now managed to establish dominance over every student from the Southside. All it took was wearing her best clothes, a lot of well-crafted insults and in one case accidentally stepping on a foot with her stiletto heel. If no one will like her, then they can all fear her. Still, she'd much rather they weren't here at all.

Someone brushes against her in the hall as they walk past her. Gross. Cheryl debates ditching Chemistry to take a bath in the locker room. It's that sort of thing she used to say to Jason, and then he would laugh all soft and genuine and call her a drama queen. That laugh might be what she misses the most. Her heels are clicking against the floor as she walks and gives her best glare to everyone around her, so they move out of her way. Aside from one Southsider, who bravely still ignores her.

Okay, so she has bested everyone except one person. The pink haired girl. Toni. No matter what Cheryl says, Toni just grins or rolls her eyes. It's becoming quite frustrating, and Cheryl catches herself watching Toni and trying to come up with ways to bring her down.

Whenever they end up near each other, Cheryl drops a snide remark or two. And since Jughead Jones seems intent on including Toni in his ridiculous shenanigans and Betty Cooper seems intent on including Cheryl, they end up near each other more than Cheryl would like.

It becomes a nice distracton fro obsessing over Josie and Reggie. To think of something that will wipe that damn smirk off of Toni Topaz' mouth. She thinks about it at home, at school, when she goes to sleep and when she wakes up.

It's a game, and Cheryl knows she always wins. She jabs and pokes with every word she has, always accompanying it with a sickly sweet smile to cover up how hungry she is for a reaction. It's a game and it's rigged in Cheryl's favor, because one day one of her remarks will hit a sore spot, and Toni will lose. It's only a matter of time.

Mentioning the Southside or the disgusting gang aesthetic doesn't work, but something will. Calling her a poor man's Katy Perry doesn't work on Toni, but makes Kevin choke on a laugh, so Cheryl counts that in her own favor. It's the middle of class, and Toni just leans in and grabs one of Cheryl's pencils, saying since she is poor, she will have to borrow one. Having her up close is intoxicating and Cheryl searches her face for a sign that she is cracking. She finds none.

So she tries harder. She even lets Betty drag her along to the Magical Murder Mystery Tour, just to see Toni outside of her laid back school persona. It's during one of those late night investigations, at the closed down Southside high school of course, because Betty and Jughead seriously lack imagination, where she makes progress. They've split up into pairs, and Cheryl seizes the opportunity to yet again make a snide remark at Toni's expense when they are alone. They've never been alone before. It's exciting.

Toni brushes it off as always and walks into a classroom. Cheryl follows her, not really caring about what they are looking for. She makes another comment, not even thinking about what she is saying, and then Toni is right up in her face, pushing her against the wall

"What's your fucking problem with me?" she asks through her teeth. Cheryl wants to say something clever, something that makes Toni look like a fool, like Watch your temper sweetheart or What? Can't handle a little joke? But they are so close they are practically sharing oxygen and Cheryl's brain seems to be malfunctioning. Instead she just drops her gaze to Toni's lips, currently curved into a snarl. When she looks back up, Toni eyes gleam darkly and she presses herself up against Cheryl, squeezing her even tighter between her body and the wall. Then she leans in and kisses Cheryl hard.

Cheryl gasps and kisses her back. Toni grabs her wrists and pins them against the wall, while biting her bottom lip, and then pushing her tongue into her mouth. Cheryl tries not to moan. She fails a little. Toni pushes a thigh between her legs, and Cheryl hips starts moving. Her body has a crazy response to the kiss, like it has been desperate for this for so long, and getting it is making her fall apart.

Toni kisses her even harder, pressing against her and Cheryl wants more, more, more.

Then suddenly it's over, and Toni watches her with a satisfied smirk, while stepping back and letting go of her wrists. Cheryl remains leaned against the wall, fighting to catch her breath. Toni eyes her up and down and licks her lips. Cheryl knows she must look like a mess and she hates Toni for looking exactly like she did before they kissed. Ripped jeans clinging to her legs, t-shirt and leather jacket in place. Not even that ridiculous bandana around her head has moved an inch. Whereas Cheryl can feel her skirt having moved up her hips, and her lips feel swollen and messy from her lipstick.

Toni pick up her flashlight and just resumes working. Cheryl considers running out of the room, running home. She wishes she could talk to Jason. He would love her even though she just made out with a disgusting Southside Serpent. Running home would mean she lost though. And Cheryl is a winner. Maybe she looked more affected than Toni, but she was the one who was shoved against the wall. And if Toni could seem like it hadn't affected her to kiss Cheryl Blossom, then Cheryl wasn't going to be affected by kissing her.

She resumed the search, and when Toni was distracted, she fixed her lipstick. When they met up with the others, she was certain no one could tell what had happened.

***

Cheryl treats herself to some serious spa treatment that weekend. She is determined to come back to school looking even more like a goddess than usual. Which is hard, she knows, but she never backed down from a challenge. Plus, it always made her feel better to do a complete scrub of her body. She spends a lot of time thinking about what to do now. Clearly Toni is better at this game than she thought, and now it has changed. But Cheryl knows she is a catch, and since Toni is attracted to girls, a different kind of torment seems appropriate. Plus, she clearly had said something that pushed Toni over the edge, so really Cheryl had won that round.

She lets herself sink deeper into the water as her mind drifts back to the kiss. She touches her lips absentmindedly. They are still swollen and sore, but she doesn't mind it much. In fact, thinking about Toni pressing her against the wall and biting her lip is arousing her again. She wonders what it would be like to feel her hands on her body. Then she catches herself and shakes her head.

Control, Cheryl, she tells herself and starts scrubbing her legs again. It was all about control. If there was one thing Cheryl was good at, it was controlling others and their attraction to her. She crawled out of the bath and eyed herself in the mirror. She smiled wickedly. Oh yes. Game on, Toni Topaz.

***

She has perfected a way of causally looking amazing, without seeming like she tries, years ago. This Monday she puts it to good use. She has prepared herself for everything, and knows exactly what to do, to taunt Toni and make her want more. Cheryl has put on a tight skirt and her high boots and let her hair tumble in curls down her back. Her lips are a darker red than usual, and the shirt is just a tiny bit see-through.

What she isn't prepared for is her own reaction to seeing Toni, who is talking to that Sweet Pea guy, and is wearing her usual t-shirt and ripped jeans combo. Cheryl felt a wave of want hit her. She suppresses it and sashays confidently down the hall, not even looking to see if Toni noticed her.

That afternoon Betty drags them into the newspaper room to recap Friday's results. Veronica looks upset, and Cheryl feels a little urge to ask her what was up. Ugh, gross. She notices Toni eye her legs, and almost smirks victoriously. She needs more. She needs to break her completely. To make her beg Cheryl to kiss her again.

Cheryl doesn't care much for the case, but they all seem excited about the results so she smiles at Betty and starts saying: "If you need my help again, let me know." She intends to leave just then, but before she can make her exit, Jughead's phone rings and he bolts out of the room, and then everyone starts to leave. Damn. Cheryl throws her hair over her shoulder and turns with a huff. Before she can leave, Toni looks at her and winks.

Cheryl is shocked. A part of her wants to throw herself across the room and kiss the living hell out of Toni. Another part is angry! How dare she acknowledge it happened? Like that. With a wink! Also, why does she want to kiss Toni?

The rest of the week passes like that. Whenever Cheryl gets a small reaction out of Toni, she just rolls with it and smiles like she is saying you're doing this for me? Cute. It's infuriating. She wants to win, to wind her up and break her. To throw her off her game, the way Cheryl has been thrown off hers.

On Wednesday they bump into each other in the locker room. Toni has just gotten dressed, seemingly the last person to get ready after her Gym Class. Pathetic. Cheryl is there to pick up her broche, which she managed to forget after the Vixens practiced earlier.

"So much later than everyone else," she comments, smiling as sweetly as she can, "It's okay if it's hard for you to put on jeans with so many holes in them."

Toni chuckles and wraps a flannel shirt around her hips. Honestly, why is this living cliché a part of Cheryl's life? She notices the broche not far from Toni's boots. She walks over and picks it up, ready to say something mean about her almost breaking an invaluable object, but when she stands up, Toni is right there. In her face. Smelling like soap. Cheryl swallows and tries to remember what she was going to say. Toni smiles at her, raising an eyebrow and Cheryl just loses it. She moves forward and crashes their lips together, hoping to do to Toni what had been done to her. To leave her heaving and aching for more.

Cheryl forces herself to pull back before she wants to. So she can leave Toni there with figurative blue balls. Toni eyes are darker, but she is smiling with amusement. "I knew you'd be back for more," she whispers and Cheryl feels shivers run down her spine at the word more.

Toni moves towards her slowly, again pressing Cheryl against the wall, and Cheryl downright whimpers. What the fuck? Her hands get pinned against the wall again and Toni looks at her hungrily before finally kissing her. Cheryl drops the broche and gasps as Toni licks into her mouth. For a moment she forgets where they are, who they are. Nothing exists but their lips, tongues, the sound of their breath and the feel of hands around Cheryl's wrists.

But then Toni let's go of her wrists and places her hands on Cheryl's hips. She can feel the heat through the thin fabric of her skirt. The kiss is even hotter than last time, both girls more eager, more aware of what they want. Last time Cheryl was shocked, this time she knows she has to give as good as she gets. So she does, moving a hand to scratch at Toni's scalp and twist her fingers into that awful pink hair.

Have they ever done anything other than kiss? Cheryl doesn't remember anything else. And yet, it's too soon when Toni pulls back. She smirks at Cheryl, clearly very pleased with herself. Her eyes roam over Cheryl's body and face, and then she whispers "I bet you look gorgeous when you've been properly fucked."

"I always look gorgeous, ChaCha," Cheryl responds, hoping her makeup hides the warmth in her cheeks. She stands up straighter and brushes her hands on her skirt.

"I agree," Toni says with a smile. Ugh. Cheryl kind of hates that smile. Toni could really benefit from turning the smugness down. "We should do this again some time," she says with a wink, and then she leaves. Cheryl stares after her. What the fuck had just happened? She picks up the broche, fixes her lipstick and leaves.

***

Archie Andrews is throwing a party. Cheryl has no idea why, and frankly isn't even interested, but Josie is going (with Reggie. Ew.) and for some reason Betty Cooper invites her to come.

"We'd love it if you came, Cheryl," Betty says and looks at her with those big fish eyes, "I mean, no one knows how to party like you."

"True," Cheryl agrees. She knows Betty is attempting to woo her with flattery, but that's no reason to ignore the compliment. "You need me there to make this thing a success, but I am just not sure I have the time."

Betty actually pouts. Ew. Then Archie shows up, giving Betty a smile that can only be described as tender. Cheryl fights the urge to gag. "Cheryl, are you coming to the party? You are kind of a part of the gang now," he says and looks like an overeager dog.

"I already told Blue Sweater here that I am too busy," Cheryl says and turns on her heel and walks away. Ah, that felt good. Those two were getting way to chummy with her.

Jason would tell her she was being ridiculous. He'd tell her to make friends, and to be nicer to people. Her mother gives her a look when she comes home. Like she is disappointed, but not surprised Cheryl is on her own on a Friday. Whatever.

That night she shows up at the party anyway. It's a power move to recline, and then show up, like she is bringing them a gift. Herself. Plus, she needs to see what Josie and Reggie are up to. She waits until she is certain they've given up on her, and then she barges through the door, throws her jacket at the nearest person (which happens to be Jughead Jones, how perfect!) and strides into the living room. Everyone stares at her, so she smiles and gives them a little wave.

Betty seems tipsy as she runs over and hands Cheryl a red cup of something and gives her a clumsy hug. There is a whole lot of Southside trashworms there as well. Weird. Archie seems in deep conversation with the Sweet Pea guy. Cheryl looks at them in confusion.

"Oh, they are kind of friends now," Betty explains with a giggle. Figures, both of them are tall and dumb.

"Fascinating," she says sarcastically and drinks from the cup. It's punch, and not a good one. But that might be because of the cheap alcohol someone has spiked it with. Oh well.

Betty just beams again. What is up with that girl?

"Cheryl!" Veronica appears. Cheryl looks her up and down. She looks like a vampire librarian in that black lace dress and the string of pearls. Uninspired as always. Her and Betty dress exactly the same, except Veronica wears colors appropriate for a funeral and Betty apparently never outgrew the colors for baby clothes. It's almost tragic.

"Hello Veronica," Cheryl fakes enthusiasm.

"You look amazing," Veronica says. Her and Betty seem to be on a mission to make her feel welcome. She is right, though. Cheryl's dress is black velvet and off the shoulders, and as always her hair is a cascade of red curls.

They talk clothes for a while, scaring off Betty who looks uncomfortable with all the designer names Veronica is dropping. It's almost a little funny. Then Veronica insist on dancing, and Cheryl follows her. She spots Josie, who is grinding on Reggie's leg. Veronica sends her a look and they both giggle. Veronica says she once spent a night out doing the same, and that Reggie will follow any pair of hips swaying near him. Cheryl shakes her head and says she hopes Josie knows what she is doing. Veronica nods and says everyone is allowed a little fun.

"You are right of course," Cheryl grins, and then they start dancing. Cheryl likes to dance. She is good at it too, and she knows it. Veronica is good too, and since they aren't competing this time, it actually ends up being fun. Well. A little anyway. Cheryl is very aware of how great they are looking right now, and she enjoys it. Veronica is grinning at Archie, who is watching them from the edge of the dance floor.

Cheryl's eyes absentmindedly scan the room of people watching them, knowing she is putting on a show. Then she sees Toni Topaz. Who's wearing an unbelievably ruined shirt, denim shorts and a pair of boots. Cheryl tears her gaze away from the shirt - that thing is more holes than fabric - and meets Toni's eyes. She is staring at Cheryl, mouth slightly open and wow. Her eyes are burning. Cheryl swings her hips and smiles playfully.

Toni responds by biting her lip. Cheryl feels a wave of victory hit her and she turns around, smiling to herself, giving Toni a view of her back. Veronica grabs her hand and spins her back around, intertwining their fingers. Cheryl looks back at Toni, who is still looking at her. Now she is leaning against the wall, with a thumb in her belt loop. They don't break eye-contact again. If dancing while knowing the boys are watching makes Cheryl feel good, there is no way of describing how it feels too dance while being eye-fucked by Toni Topaz.

Cheryl isn't sure which of them is winning this round. Because Toni wants her, it's obvious, but Cheryl wants her to stay right there, to keep watching. When did she start dancing for Toni and not herself? Cheryl finally breaks the spell and looks away. Veronica hasn't stopped making eyes at Archie, so Cheryl pulls her closer and whispers, "Just go dance with your boyfriend."

"But we're having fun," Veronica argues. Cheryl gives her a look, and Veronica lets go and runs off. When Cheryl looks back at the wall, Toni has disappeared.

Cheryl decides she needs more alcohol. She walks back to the kitchen and grabs another cup of the bearable punch. She hears angry voices from outside.

"I wanna be with you."

"Then why did you kiss my best friend?"

"You broke up with me!"

Her curiosity has just gotten the better of her, and she is about to go look when someone speaks behind her. "That was quite the show." It's Toni, leaning against the doorway, looking better than any Southsider has any right to, now wearing that gang member jacket over her clothes.

"You looked like you enjoyed it," Cheryl responds, and sends her a flirty smile. There is no reason to pretend nothing is going on between them.

"I did," Toni walks over and grabs the cup from Cheryl's hands. She takes a sip and grimaces. "That's disgusting. I could mix you something better down in the Whyte Wyrm."

Cheryl scrunches up her nose. "I'd rather not. That place is way too dirty for me."

"Am I too dirty for you?" Toni asks, and Cheryl is taken aback by the directness of the question and the earnest way Toni is looking at her.

"In theory, yes," Cheryl responds, leaning in closer and taking the cup back. She takes a slow sip.

"What about in practice?" Toni asks, placing a hand on Cheryl's and moving the cup down. The feel of her hand against her wrist makes Cheryl heart thump. Memories.

They are awfully close now, lips nearly touching. "Remind me how it works in practice," Cheryl whispers. Toni closes the small distance between them, kissing her softly. Like a test. It makes her breath hitch in her throat. Cheryl doesn't want soft. Not now. Not after the way Toni was watching her before. So she runs her tongue along Toni's bottom lip. This earns her a little whimper. Cheryl pulls back and grins. She takes Toni's hand and drags her along.

They run out to the garage, and when they've closed the door behind then, Toni runs her hands through Cheryl's hair and kisses her hungrily. They stumble further into the garage, almost knocking into some of Archie's instruments. It makes them both giggle. Cheryl feels drunk, but not from the punch, this is all Toni.

Toni, who's hands are inching up her waist, setting her body on fire. Cheryl hands are wandering too, she can't help it. Toni kneels down, pulling Cheryl with her so they are both on the floor. Cheryl pushes the leather jacket off her shoulders, and puts her hands under that thing she is wearing as a shirt. Toni shudders and kisses her harder when Cheryl trails her nails over her bare skin. She kisses Cheryl down her neck, while one hand starts starts running up and down her leg. It makes everything tingle, and Cheryl lifts the "shirt" over her head, breaking the kiss. She takes a moment to just admire Toni's exposed skin, before crawling into her lap and straddling her.

Cheryl doesn't know how long they spend sitting like this, kissing and kissing and kissing, while Toni's hands are everywhere but suddenly she is being maneuvered backwards, so she is lying on her back while Toni hovers over her, kissing her neck and moving a hand up her inner thigh. Cheryl has a small moment of panic because she has no idea what's expected in a situation like this? Is she supposed to reciprocate at the same time? Is that what two women do? Why hasn't she googled this before? She trails her own hand down Toni's side, heading towards her denim shorts.

Toni's hand comes up and stops her. She smiles and holds Cheryl's hand up between them, "Not until you cut your nails," she says with a grin, and Cheryl blushes. Toni kisses her again, and pushes the dress up her hips. Cheryl's breath hitches in her throat.

It's better than Cheryl remembers sex ever being before. Maybe because of how much she has been wanting to do this with a girl, or specifically Toni. As she moans and succumbs into the touch, she finally admits it to herself. She has wanted Toni bad for a while now. Since before they even kissed the first time. And having her now, like this, is better than she thought it would be.

She bites down on her own bottom lip when she comes, so she doesn't cry out too loudly.

Afterwards Toni remains half on top of her, and kisses her gently on the lips, then her exposed shoulder and collarbone. She looks down at Cheryl and grins that smug grin again. "I was right, you do look gorgeous after having your brains fucked out."

"I wouldn't bet on a career in smooth-talking," Cheryl responds and clicks her tongue. She's not sure why she says it. Being snarky is just her default setting, and she is feeling extra vulnerable right now. Toni's eyes drop for just a second, and then she kisses Cheryl again.

Cheryl kisses her back for a moment, but then she starts to worry if people are looking for them. She pushes Toni off and readjusts her dress. Toni looks at her in confusion. "Someone could be looking for us. You and Jugface seemed joined at the hip, and Betty has been disturbingly friendly to me lately."

"You're leaving?" Toni's brows are furrowing.

"This was fun," Cheryl says in a cheerful tone and stands up. Toni's eyes drop, and she bites her lip. She sits there in her shorts and bra and doesn't move and that's when it hits Cheryl. If she leaves now, she has won the game. Toni will be the one left with the obsession. It makes her smile. She looks at the serpent jacket on the ground, and picks it up. A fair price for besting Toni Topaz.

She puts it on as she leaves the garage and rejoins the party. There are a lot more people in the house, and the music's louder. Cheryl glances around. What the hell happened while she was getting laid? She walks into the kitchen and sees Josie and Reggie making out like they've been possessed or something. It stuns her. She has feelings for Josie. Had feelings. Has. It's confusing. The image of Toni on top of her flickers in front of her eyes. She turns on her heel and leaves.

She walks into the living room just as someone yells, "how could you?!" and then Veronica rushes past her into the kitchen and out the back door.

Cheryl looks at the people in the living room, all staring at Betty and Archie, who are standing really close. Ah. Those two are idiots. She turns around and runs after Veronica.

She finds her sitting on the ground outside, ugly crying loudly. Ugh. This is not Cheryl's forte. Jason, help me. She doesn't wanna sit on the filthy ground, but she remembers all the time Jason crawled into the closet with her, even though he hated small spaces, because she was crying. She sits down next to Veronica and places a hand on her shoulder. Veronica responds by turning around and burying her face in Cheryl's shoulder, crying harder.

" It seems I missed the drama," Cheryl says after a moment, "how unlike me."

Veronica makes a strangled noise, like a laugh is trying to escape through the sobbing. Cheryl bites down hard to keep from pulling a face. Veronica sniffles and sits up, wiping her eyes.

"Archie and Betty kissed," she says. Cheryl cringes visibly.

"When?"

"A few weeks ago. We were broken up for a few days and then he just kissed Betty." Veronica breaks into sobs again. "H-how could they d-do this to m-me?"

"They are both kind of dumb," Cheryl says bluntly, "like. Not smart at all."

"Betty is my best friend," Veronica says when she can control her voice again.

"She's not good at it," Cheryl remarks. Why is this comfort thing so hard?

"She forgave me, back when me and Archie made out at your party. But this is different. Right?" She looks like she wants confirmation, so Cheryl nods.

"Um, so different," she says "first of all, you weren't BFF at the time. Second, they weren't dating. Third, she wasn't dating that southsider." Cheryl is good at receipts.

"Oh, Jughead," Veronica says and starts crying again. She's shaking hard, so Cheryl takes off the leather jacket and wraps it around her shoulders. It seems to help her. Cheryl wraps her arm around her again and holds her a little longer.

"I'm gonna drive you home now," Cheryl suddenly says. She is surprised herself. It must be from channeling Jason.

"Okay," Veronica says weakly. They climb to their feet, and when they turn around they see Toni there. Cheryl feels relieved to see her, ashamed of before, and she has a weird urge to explain that she is helping Veronica.

"Need help?" Toni asks.

"Yeah, thanks," Cheryl nods and Toni lifts Veronica's other arm around her shoulder. They take her through the house in silence. Cheryl scares off Archie with a look. When they are outside, Cheryl asks: "How long were you watching?"

"A while," Toni says, "I've never seen you help anyone before."

"Oh."

Cheryl drives while Toni sits with Veronica in the back. When they reach the hotel and has walked her to the door, Veronica hands Cheryl the leather jacket and says "Thanks."

When she is inside the hotel, Cheryl tries to hand it to Toni. "You can wear it a bit more," Toni says with a smile, "it's kinda sexy."

"I'm sorry," Cheryl says, "I know I can be a hateful bitch."

"I've noticed," Toni replies with a smile. A smile Cheryl has started to realize is just genuine, and not smug at all. Cheryl reaches down and takes her hand.

"Let me buy you a milkshake at Pop's," she offers. Toni's smile widens. They walk hand in hand to the car. Cheryl isn't sure what this is, but she thinks she might be done with playing games for now.

I don’t know what ships you know, but 🍃 for the prompt meme?

Here you go! It’s a Kalancy piece. Also I’m gonna tag @nancykali bc I’ve been following u long enough to know that you like this ship so I figure de you might enjoy it.

Here’,s the AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14299080

And here’s the fic:

Summer rolled into Nancy's life like a cherry red sports car: slowly and with the luxury of models in glossy fashion magazines.

School itself let out with a long sigh of relief, complete with Steve's graduation and enough babysitting cash to pay for a bunch of meals at the diner that Steve got a job at. She splurged a couple dollars on a nice red lipstick, the kind of accessory that would be guaranteed to become a staple in her summer look.

The day that school ended, Nancy was officially avoiding the inevitable high school party, instead she opted to spend another aimless all nighter with Kali, Steve, and Jonathan.

The week before, they had agreed on starting the summer off with glass bottles of orange soda in the Wheeler basement, following the age-old tradition of sneaking the boys in the house when the Wheeler parents were asleep.

Nancy and Kali had long since moved their sleepovers to the basement, making up elaborate card games and dancing around to whatever tapes they could find. They also made a habit of using the beige wall phone to good use, making prank calls while twirling the twisting cord around their fingers.

This night, spent listening to the sound of thumping from stomping feet the floor above and chewing on popcorn that was heinously sugary, Nancy and Kali found themselves curled up on the worn couch in the basement, talking slowly in between bouts of silence.

Kali's head was resting on Nancy's arm as she stared out into space until Nancy interrupted her lulling train of thought with a gasp of quiet realization.

"Kali! I just realized!"

"Realized what?" Kali asked, arranging herself so she was properly facing her best friend. The struggle to remain close while still properly facing Nancy proved to be difficult, but the end position ended with Kali sitting cross legged an perpendicular to her, using the opportunity to take the bowl off the table and onto her lap.

"Have you ever been to a junior high sleepover?" Nancy asked, the answer obvious in the still, cramped air of her basement.

"Why would I ever go to a junior high sleepover? I’m sevent-"

"Well, when you were in junior high you didn’t get to go to one. I think there is only one way to fix this," stated Nancy, confident and a bit punch drunk on her cherry soda.

"Time travel?" asked Kali, trying desperately to snark her way through the flashes of her junior high years that attacked her mind. Labs are never really the best place to have a good sleepover, after all.

"No, my beloved Kali," said Nancy, pointedly ignoring the subsequent flutters in both of their stomachs at the endearment, "we are going to give you the junior high experience you deserve. It’ll be the perfect way to kick this summer off."

"If you say so, then it must be true. What exactly does the junior high experience entail?" Kali asked, taking a handful of popcorn.

"Makeovers first, calling crushes second, and truth or dare third. That's the junior high sleepover activity trinity."

Kali's eyebrows rose and fell, and she grabbed some more popcorn.

"So, are you in?" Nancy asked, smiling with maraschino-stained lips.

"Definitely."

Steve and Jonathan arrived around 10:30, sneaking in like proper "ninjas", as Steve whispered when all four were properly in the basement. Nancy was ready, brandishing a bag of makeup as if it were a weapon. There was also a loose bag of Halloween effects that she pulled for the novelty, and she commandeered her friends in a cross legged circle. The makeup sat as a centerpiece in the middle, arranged in a perfect mess of a pile.

"Kali. Since this is your first junior high sleepover, choose who gets made over first," Nancy said, seriously as if she was leading a church service.

Kali, a bit out of her depth, shyly pointed at Jonathan, was was minding his own business, checking the battery on the camera that Nancy made him bring.

"Let's get 'im!" Steve yelped, loud enough that the other three had to shush him through their light giggles.

Nancy let Kali make the first move, handing her the tube of bright pink lipstick. Kali had to bite back a smile as she began to move towards Jonathan, trying to keep him still despite his laughter. She managed to keep him in place long enough for him to receive the messiest application of lipstick possible, but that was child's play compared to when Nancy pulled out her blue eyeshadow.

By the end of the ordeal, Jonathan had experienced the sensation of three pairs of hands on his face at the same time, and he had baby blue eyeshadow that went to his eyebrows. Steve took the liberty of drawing hearts on his cheeks with Nancy's eyeliner pencil. In the end, it was positively fantastic.

By democratic vote ("I didn’t study my ass off in Gov to not know that Kali shouldn’t make all the decisions, we are a constitutional democracy, dammit!" whispered Steve, nudging Nancy until she gave in), the group then descended on Kali, much to her performative annoyance.

She had sworn to keep her eyes closed, so as to make her makeover a surprise. Kali had gotten oddly familiar with the feeling of sticks and powders being shoved on her face, until she was shocked out of her calm when she felt her hair being pulled.

She cried out, opening her eyes and falling out of the clutches of her friends, ignoring the subsequent shushes, instead focusing on the fact that she had somehow fallen perfectly into Nancy's lap. Why was Nancy even behind her?

"What the hell was that?" she seethed, not making any motion to get out of Nancy's lap.

"Ssh, stop fussing, I’m braiding your hair," Nancy placated, bringing her hands back to where they were on her hair. Kali took a slow breath out, before officially settling into Nancy's lap and closing her eyes again.

"Okay, okay. Do your worst, guys," she said, and it resumed.

"You ruined the penis I was trying to draw on your forehead," muttered Steve, and Kali laughed so hard that she undoubtedly ruined Steve’s second attempt.

When they were time, Nancy tapped on Jonathan's shoulder, beckoning towards the camera.

"We gotta keep this memory, I'd say."

Jonathan nodded, and went to grabbed his camera. Steve took the picture of Kali and Jonathan together, arms sling over each other's shoulders as they smiled widely with their ridiculously made up faces, the flash lighting up the dim basement.

Nancy and Steve went next, both equally decimated by their makeovers. Their picture was somehow more silly than Kali and Jonathan's, due to the faces they pulled and the bunny ears they gave each other.

If the sound of the shutter and the light of the flash didn’t alert anyone who was upstairs, Kali was pretty sure that the ensuing laughter at the mental image of all of them together, looking like rejected clowns, did the job. However no one stored downstairs to haul the boys out of the house, so the sleepover activities continued.

The calling crushes section of the night came at around midnight, which was admittedly ill-planned, since they couldn’t casually call anyone at midnight. They instead decided to skip straight to the truth or dare part, rearranging into a proper circle again instead of the malformed dog pile that came from the makeovers.

"So, Steve, truth or dare?" Kali asked through her yawn, starting off the game.

"Give me a dare, baby," he said, imitating some kind of cool guy. The rest of the circle rolled their eyes in response, but continued playing despite his apparent dumbassery.

"Hmm... lick the floor," Kali said, awkwardly trying to land the balance between too extreme and too safe.

Steve only shrugged, bending down awkwardly and letting his tongue graze the prickly carpet. Jonathan crinkled his nose in mild disgust, but they kept their reactions generally temperate to avoid waking anyone up.

"So, Nancy, truth or dare?" Steve asked, keeping the game going despite the musty taste in his mouth.

"Truth."

"If you had to name your kid after a disease, which one would you name it after?" he asked.

"Influenza. Sounds kind of cute. Jonathan? Truth or dare?"

The game continued like this, quiet and restrained. Kali was beginning to fall asleep when she was eventually called on again, and she mumbled her soft "dare" as she leaned in slightly to Nancy's shoulder, mimicking the position from earlier that night.

"Kiss me," Nancy said, laughing with her special exhausted air. Kali lifted her head from Nancy's shoulder, her heart rate speeding up as her eyes flicked down to her crush's blueberry-blue lipstick. Everything seemed to move at half-speed, in a kind of fuzziness that let Kali's often repressed thoughts float to the surface.

Blood rushed in Kali's ears, diluting the sound so she had no idea if the boys were laughing or gasping or crying, and she leaned into Nancy again, and soon she was so close that she could see nothing but her large, doe-like blue eyes.

Time either sped up or slowed, there was no way to be sure through the veil of 1am decision making. Kali leaned in, and vaguely wondered if she'd have blue lips or if Nancy's lips would become burgundy from Kali's lipstick.

She just had to see for herself.

In the perfect buzz of the basement air, Kali collided with Nancy, reveling, for a moment, that it was as soft and perfect as the imagined it would be. She felt Nancy's hand on her hair, like earlier before with the braiding, and smiled as they separated. Nancy seemed caught in a heavy-lidded laughter, and Kali let her eyesight fall to her lips.

Burgundy was imprinted on the blue of Nancy's lips, and it made Kali smile properly, before turning her head to the boys across from her, who shot her a subtle, congratulatory thumbs up.

What a way to start the summer.

Some of these will not apply to many people so pls take them with a grain of salt. Also I’ve been collecting these pretty much for the two years I’ve been in college so it’s not a guide, they’re just… random I guess.

Making friends

Warning - specially tailored for super shy people aka me

There’s a thing called the ‘first week window of endless oportunities’. It’s when groups are still forming and everyone’s desperate to make friends. This is the time to put your best self forward (I’m not saying be fake, just a little extra friendly).

Leave. Your. Door. Open. Do it. Even if you have a roommate. Best way to make friends the first week.

Actually get out of your room. You’re not going to meet many people if you hole up in your room. If you have a tv room or people are watching a movie, I don’t care if you’re not interested in what they’re watching, go.

If you have the balls to go to the room nextdoor and introduce yourself then you probably can skip this section by all means do it!

But if you don’t, going from door to door asking for help with your laundry takes a lot less courage + you will learn how to do laundry. Asking to borrow something (pencil, hair tie, hair dryer) also works.

If you’re staying at a residence hall, ask to sit with people at lunch! Nobody is going to say no, i promise.

Similarly if you see someone alone, ask them to have lunch with you!

Also if you meet someone you get along with, as soon as you can, ask for their number ‘so you can go to the dinning hall together’.

Remember people’s names - it makes people feel like you actually care about them. I know it’s hard but make an effort. Also it just gets annoying when someone asks about your name for the fourth time. Use mnemonics if you have to.

Asking what someone’s major is and where they’re from is standard procedure when you meet them but it doesn’t make for an interesting conversation. Think of other questions!

Make sure to arrive about 10 min early to your classes. There’ll be very few people and so it’ll be easier to strike up a conversation (actually people will probably talk to you without you having to say anything which is g r e a t)

Say yes - as a rule of thumb, your social life should prevail over your academic life the first two weeks. This is the time where you’re not really pressed for time. Say yes to watching movies, say yes to going to lunch, say yes to going to campus events (and even to parties). Obviously don’t do anything that makes you really unconfortable but do try to step out of your comfort zone

Make friends with an upper-classman from your same major. Or at least be on speaking terms. Talk to them on Facebook, ask them about your major, just use any random idc excuse to introduce yourself, it doesn’t really matter how you do it.

Don’t go home every weekend, even if you live close by. You’ll miss out on the best of campus life and some of the most fun memories with your new friends.

Keeping your old friends

If you know you’re going home for the weekend, try to finish most of your assignments/studying and make time to hang out with your friends. Spending time with them is the best way to keep those friendships alive.

But! Don’t worry too much if you can’t come home or make time for your friends too often, you just have to make an effort to text them regularly. It will come naturally if it’s your best friend, but don’t forget to set a reminder to text other close friends at least once every two weeks.

You may think you don’t care now but you will once you come home for the summer.

If any of your friends are staying in your hometown for college, be ready for them to get another friend group. That doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten about you, but don’t be mad if they seem to have a lot more plans that don’t involve you. You can always ask to tag along some time and maybe even become friends with these people!

Some people you’ll just lose contact with. Don’t fret it.

Organization

Please print out or buy a calendar that has a whole page for each month. With boxes preferably *shameless plug*. You may think you have it all under control but there’s nothing like being able to see all your due dates, hang out plans and laundry days at a glance. (Also js but the pilot frixion are perfect to use on calendars because they’re erasable).

Hampers are love. Hampers are life. Also they’re the only way your clothes won’t end up all over your floor and bed (..and chairs) so get one.

Health

Adding fruit and veggies to all your meals is very easy to do. And very easy to forget.

If you know someone who goes for runs regularly, ask to tag along! You’ll be more likely to keep active if you have someone who’ll drag you outside!

Get a mini fridge (if your dorm doesn’t come with one). It’ll be the best investment you’ll make in your entire college life. Also make sure to check in with your roommate beforehand so tbat you don’t end up having two fridges. And ask if they want to split the cost.

Academics

You will have some crappy professors. When that happens, the solution is not to cry over your (almost inexistent) notes and complain to whatever poor soul will listen.Find your recommended books, take a trip to the library, sneakily get them online.

On that note, you can find PDFs of almost any textbooks online if you just look for ‘textbook name pdf’. Yeah it’s not legal. Neither should be charging 100€ for a textbook. Yeah it’s probably not the latest edition. But email your professor about it, they usually don’t mind.

If your copy shops refuse to print out textbooks, go early in the morning or late at almost-closing time or just at a time where there isn’t anyone else there bc they’re a lot more likely to do it (not saying they will okay but there’s no harm in asking).

If you’re not a morning person, you’re not going to go to that 8am 8/10 times so if you can avoid taking it, do. Yes, you did it in hs but believe me, it’s different

Chances are you will have at least one Ridiculous Professor (a.k.a. one whose tests ask about literally every single detail). This is why it’s a good idea to look for past tests from this professor (or just ask an upper-classman. Seriously just make friends with an upper-classman) ASAP. And then make flashcards like a mad person.

If you’re too sick to get yourself to the ER and attendance is mandatory for that class, email your professor bc most times they won’t even ask for a doctor’s note. If attendance is not mandatory, don’t even bother.

Check how much your assignments are worth. Always. Stop spending time you don’t have on shit that’s worth 5%, just turn in something.

Semesters go by a lot faster because what you learnt in hs in a year, you now have to learn in half the time. My point? Start studying early.

It doesn’t matter how amazing of a student you were in hs, get ready for your grades to drop. How much they drop depends on you.

Partying

Partying may not be your thing and nobody will force you to go out. But I’d say try it at least once (preferably during the first week). Not just because of ‘the experience’ but because you might make some friends that way (I know if I’d stayed home I never would’ve met some of my best friends in college).

You’ll probably end up having to dress up at some point. Don’t leave it until the last minute. Also ask around, group costumes are awesome and you’ll come up with something faster than if you have to think of one on your own.

On a similar note, get a box to put your costumes in! At the end of the year (or when you finish your degree?) you can go through it and remember all the awesome times you had. Also some parts of old costumes will come in handy for new costumes.

This may vary from place to place but generally heels are only for very special ocassions, not a saturday night party.

I know that for some of you it’ll be your first time drinking so some random tips:

Don’t do more than 3 shots of absinthe in one night. DO NOT DO IT CHILD

You’re probably going to have a favorite drink freshman year and you’re most likely never going to want to touch it again by the end of the year. Choose wisely (meaning don’t do vodka because you’ll grow to hate it).

Avoid wearing really dark liquid lipsticks because after just one shot they look absolutely disgusting (butthole effect).

Drinks are expensive so when possible just pre-game (also smol tip - if you want to get the most out of your alcohol, add gummy bears to your pregaming cup. Don’t fucking do this if it’s your first time drinking)

I don’t recommend puking but it’s better than a trip to the emergency room and a convenient solution if you feel like shit.

Put a bottle of water beside your bed before you go out and chug it as soon as you get home. Thank me in the morning.

Hungover lectures are torture. Don’t skip class though, go and record it (ask your professor first obviously)

Depends on how safe your city is, but as a rule of thumb, let someone know if you’re going home and preferably wait until someone else wants to leave so that you don’t have to walk home alone.

Extra

If you need to write an email to a professor do it ASAP. Don’t put it off until let’s say 3AM. Not only won’t they respond in time but they can see what time it was sent.

Turn on nofications for your school email (and if you don’t have one ffs make one).

if your laptop is kinda crappy and slow, get a new one. That thing will become a part of your body, especially in higher years. Freshmen always think they won’t bring it to class to take notes. Ha.

Do Not DO NOT give up your hobbies - I know how overwhelming uni can be but hobbies are a part of who you are. If you erase that, only your major is left. You are not just your major so make time for your hobbies.

If you have a roommate don’t like… use the Attack on Titan opening as your alarm. It will get you a pillow to the head. Applies to any other ‘wake up time to die’ ringtones too.

Also please don’t let you alarm go off for too long because literally everyone on your floor can hear it and that shit is annoying

Just a suggestion but stop drinking coffee every day. That way it’ll be a lot more effective during finals week. (Drink tea instead).

Remember to not be defined by your high school self. Nobody knows that person where you’re going anyway. Is there a certain way you’ve always wanted to dress? Want to dye your hair? Want to try being that person who compliments and smiles at people? Anything you always wanted to try? Now’s the time to do it!

Anyway, that’s all! I hope this was helpful and can ease some of your nerves about college!
