So……hear me out……Imagine if Niko was doing another one of his videos of bothering people and you happen to be there but you actually think that he’s very funny and you’re not bothered at all, actually you even do jokes about him to.

LOVE YOUR WORK💗💗💗

Mic Checks and Heart Skips - Niko Omilana

Summary: You, Niko, and a flirty/awkward banter. AKA the beginning of the most unserious love story ever told.

Pairing: Niko x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Masterlist

You didn't expect anything out of the ordinary today. Just a casual walk through central London, iced coffee in hand, headphones in, minding your business until you notice the sudden shift in the air.

Laughter, chaos and a camera pointed in your general direction.

You squinted.

No way 

Tall, lanky, and loud. Wearing sunglasses like he's dodging the feds and holding a mic like it's the most powerful weapon on Earth.

Yep, it's him.

Niko Omilana

He's currently mid-rant, standing in the middle of the street with his cameraman filming as he interrogates some poor tourist about their loyalty to the NDL. The tourist looks confused. You look amused. You don't stop walking, but as you pass, you catch Niko's eye.

He freezes.

Then points directly at you, dramatic as ever.

"YOU! Stranger! Suspiciously calm individual. Stop right there, I need answers. Immediate answers" Niko yelled embarrassingly, almost across the street.

"To what?" You said as you paused walking, remove your headphones slowly like you're in a western stand-off. 

"To why you're walking around like you haven't committed war crimes against the Niko Defence League" Niko said with all seriousness in his face.

"I'm sorry, the what?" You said as you blinked at him confused. 

"So you're admitting you're not a member, incredible. Do you know this is treason?" Niko said as he scoffed. 

"Treason's a strong word" You said as you took a sip in your drink. 

"But not as strong as that cologne you've got on. What? You trying to gaslight the pigeons?" You asked with a small smirk.

The cameraman wheezes. Niko blinks, caught off guard by the clapback. 

"Okay wow, you think you're funny yeah?" Niko asked.

"Funnier than you? Debatable but I didn't need to make a political campaign to get attention" You said as you flash a grin. 

"Okay, that's crazy. Cause that campaign changed lives" Niko said as he puts a hand to his chest. 

"For real? Whose? Yours?" You teased. 

"Touché, touché. She's good. Get her face, this is my new rival" Niko said as he looked away dramatically though a small smile forming in his lips. 

"Thanks, I accept the position" You said as you did a little mock bow. 

"Alright then, street interview. Serious question, how many chickens do you think it would take to kill an elephant?" Niko asked while he stands besides you, mic back up. 

"Are the chickens trained?" You asked with a squint. 

"You're asking the real questions" Niko said after he made a long awkward paused, surprised. 

"I need context. Are they just chickens or like... elite, Kung Fu Panda chickens?" You asked.

"I'm scared of you" Niko said as he actually laughed. Turning to the camera real quick.

"As you should be" You said with a smirk. 

"Now I have a question for you" You added.

"Oh?" Niko responded as he lifted a brow.

"If you're so tall, why are your jokes so short?" You asked, with a dramatic thinking face for threatics.

"WOAH" Niko said as he turned to the camera as if asking for back up. 

"The DISRESPECT, she's insane. I'm under attack" Niko said dramatically.

You snort and take another sip of your drink, pleased with yourself.

"I think I've found my match" Niko says to no one in particular, shaking his head. 

"Guys, pack it up. Video's over, I've been out-trolled" Niko said.

Then he looks at you again, a bit more curious this time. 

"You're not bothered by any of this, are you?" Niko asked.

"Not even slightly" You said with a smug look.

"I've been yelling at people all day and you're the only one who hasn't either run away or told me to shut up" Niko said while letting out a smile.

"What can I say? I enjoy a bit of chaos" You said with a grin. 

"You're actually cool, what's your name?" Niko said as he smiles but less performative this time, more genuine. 

"Y/N" You said.

He repeats it into the mic like it's some prophetic revelation. 

"You hear that, everyone? That's the name of my future nemesis-slash-best-friend-slash–possibly wife?" Niko said to the camera with a teasing grin.

"Already planning the wedding?" You said as you raised a brow. 

"Of course, it's gonna be in a Tesco aisle. Very intimate, the bring your own meal deal" Niko said.

You laugh, hard this time, and he looks proud of himself for pulling that reaction from you.

Then, as if remembering something, he holds out his phone. 

"Listen, normally I'd just walk away after annoying someone and call it a day but you might be the highlight of my day. You wanna drop your Insta or something?" Niko said, shooting his shot.

You eye the phone, then him.

"Hm" You said, pretending to consider. 

"What do I get in return?" You asked, amused and definitely interested.

"A lifetime of bad jokes and public embarrassment?" Niko said but more of an unsure answer.

"Tempting..." You said.

"And I'll let you interview me next time" Niko added.

"Deal" You said with a smile. 

You put your @ into his phone, and he watches carefully like he's just unlocked a cheat code.

"DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!" Niko yelled as you turned to leave.

"Bit late for that, innit?" You said as you made a glance back over your shoulder. 

The camera jerks to Niko's face as his jaw drops in slow motion. He points at the camera, speechless, grinning ear to ear.

"CUT THE CAMERAS GEORGE, I'M IN LOVE" Niko said, covering the camera with his hands while Georges laughed at him.

BONUS - Because I love you lots

You're scrolling through Instagram, minding your business, when a notification pops up.

@niko: Sent you a message.

Curious, you decided to open it.

And immediately burst out laughing.

He's sent a meme, it's not even a good one. It's one of those cursed low-resolution screenshots with a blurry minion and Comic Sans font that says,

"Are you French? Because Eiffel for you" Don't block me, I swear that's just the opener. I've got worse

Already regretting giving you my @ ngl

Nah come on, admit it, you smiled and that was at LEAST a 4.7/10

Then, before you can type another reply, he's already calling you. FaceTime, a bold move.

You pick up, and Niko's face pops up, lit with pure smugness.

"Look who it is!" Niko said, looking all pleased with himself. 

"Fell for the minion charm, didn't you?" Niko asked with a smug grin.

"Not even slightly but I'm impressed with your confidence" You said as you rolled your eyes. 

"That's all I've got going for me, honestly" Niko said as he grins. 

Suddenly, another voice cuts in from the background. George, lounging behind Niko on the sofa, clearly eavesdropping and chewing a biscuit.

"Bro, you slid in with a minion meme?" George said, trying not to judge with his tone but his face definitely did.

"Yeah, and guess what George? It worked, so watch your tone" Niko said as he spins the camera around. 

George stares at the screen, squints at you, then back at Niko. 

"Nah, I refuse to believe this is real. You actually used Eiffel for you? That's grounds for jail time" George said.

"It was strategic!" Niko said as he tries and fails to defend himself. 

"Strategically embarrassing, I'm telling the group chat" George said with a snort. 

You laughed and Niko swings the camera back to himself, looking betrayed.

"Okay, no. You're supposed to be on my side" Niko said looking at George.

"I would be, if your game wasn't from 2012" George said as he shrugs. 

"You know what" Niko says to you, straight-faced. 

"He's just mad he didn't think of it first" Niko said.

"Yeah, real gutted I didn't send a Minion" George mutters. 

"Absolute heartbreak" George added, mockingly.

"Honestly, I'm just impressed you committed. That's the real win" You said with a smile, shaking your head. 

"So you admit it. I won" Niko said as he perks up. 

"Don't get ahead of yourself, tesco boy" You said as you raised a brow. 

"TESCO BOY?! Yeah, you're finished. You've already lost" George said as he nearly chokes laughing in the background. 

"Alright, both of you are haters" Niko said after he huffs. 

"I'm muting this chat" Niko muttered.

You heard George cackling in the background as Niko dramatically ends the call but not before he sends another message.

Next time I see you, I'm bringing backup, I refuse to be bullied alone again Also, what's your stance on Tesco aisle weddings? Asking for a friend (me)

- end -

Summary: A late-night tiktok scroll turns into viral chaos when you post a cringe-worthy “Hear Me Out” video about Aj Shabeel

Pairing: Aj Shabeel x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Note: SUPER SUPER SORRY THAT I FINISHED THIS LATEE OML, I REALLY HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO WRITE LATELY.

Masterlist

Your phone screen glowed like a second moon in your dark bedroom.

It was 1:42 am and your brain was soup.

Technically, you were supposed to be asleep. Your alarm was set for 7:30 am, you had an early lecture, your phone was at 12% battery, and your skin was in desperate need of a break from blue light but then... the algorithm decided to play god.

Your "five minutes on tiktok" had turned into a full-on anthropological study. You were twenty swipes deep into the world of "Beta Squad Edits" Specifically, Aj Shabeel edits.

You were deep into your usual midnight scroll, curled on your side like a shrimp under your duvet, blanket pulled tight up to your chin, when it hit you like a spiritual awakening.

And not the funny ones.

The unholy kind. The "slow zoom, R&B music, black-and-white filter" kind. Someone out there had layered a dramatic Labrinth song over Aj video scenes.

You squinted. Rewatched it. Let it loop three, four times.

"Okay, wait" You whispered out loud, even though you were entirely alone. 

"Hold on" You said.

You pulled your phone closer to your face. 

Why was he so?

And how come?

Who allowed?

You paused the video. The frame stopped on his stupidly symmetrical face mid-bite. You stared.

"Okay, but... hear me out" You said.

That was the beginning of the end.

"This is stupid, I'm not doing this" You said.

Your thumb hovered over the search bar anyway.

"aj shabeel hear me out"

Zero results.

Your face twisted.

No one's done it? Not even a sound?

Your fyp was filled with "Hear Me Out" thirst traps for everyone from anime characters to minor footballers who played like twelve minutes total. That soft, playful voice, followed by a ridiculous beat drop that felt like a fake slow-motion montage from a Wattpad movie. Trainers. Fictional characters. One girl used it on Lord Farquaad from Shrek.

But Aj? Nothing.

You? You had taste.

And questionable judgment.

You stared at the screen. Blinked once.

And then, like an actual gremlin possessed.

"...Fine, I'll do it myself" You said.

You tossed your head back dramatically and groaned.

You flipped the camera around and stared at your reflection.

"This is so dumb" You whispered.

You pulled your hoodie over your head like a cartoon villain and whispered to yourself

"This is for the girlies who get it" You muttered to yourself.

Your face filled the screen. Hair was a mess. You hadn't even washed your face yet. 

You hit record.

"Alright, hear me out.... Aj Shabeel"

And then came the smirk. The one you practiced ironically one time in the mirror but had now accidentally mastered. You tilted your head a little. Just a little. Just enough to look unserious but somehow flirty.

You watched it back.

"Cringe" You said as your face twitched in unison.

You hit delete.

Take two: the lighting made you look like you were being held hostage.

Take three: You said "Shabeel" too soft, like you were afraid of summoning him. You paused halfway to Google if he was single.

Then.

Take five: nailed the smirk, but your forehead was shiny. Distracting. 

You didn't even film anything.

Take eight: finally.

It was clean. Flirty. Slightly embarrassing, which meant it would probably do numbers. You hesitated over the caption, thumb hovering.

No tags. No hashtags. No mentions.

And yet.

You stared at the "Post" button.

You watched the finished product once. Just once.

Then you posted it with the caption:

"This is so embarrassing but I stand by it 😭 #HearMeOut #AJShabeel #BetaSquad"

You turned your phone screen down on the bed.

And yeeted yourself into a pillow.

"He's never gonna see it, chill" You reassured yourself.

You didn't actually expect him to see it.

He had, what? Over a million followers? His for you page was probably elite. Controlled. Powerful. Your little tiktok? Just another scream into the void.

"Okay" You sighed. 

"That's over" You added.

You dropped your phone on your nightstand, rolled over, and shoved your face into your pillow.

One thing about you? You'd post and ghost. No checking. No refreshing. No living in shame.

Except thirty seconds later, your phone buzzed.

Once.

Twice.

Twenty-six times.

You sat up. Eyes wide. Neck slightly cracked from the sudden movement.

Notification flood.

"NAHHHH" You breathed.

11 new followers 49 likes 7 comments

That's too many. What if it ends up on his fyp? What if Chunkz sees it and clowns me? What if Beta Squad has a secret group chat called 'Girls Who Are Delulu About Aj' and I'm now the header image?

You hovered over delete.

But just before you tapped it, a comment came in,

"You did NOT lie"

"Aj needs to see this immediately"

"Petition to tag him"

Then someone tagged a friend.

Then ten more people did.

You watched the numbers jump. 421 views. 1,027. 5,204.

Oh no.

Chaos. In real time.

You blinked. Stared at the screen.

"Well, shit" You murmured.

You didn't mean to go viral. You barely brushed your lashes. You had cereal dust on your sleeve. This wasn't supposed to work.

You locked your phone. Threw it across the bed like it had betrayed you. Wrapped yourself up in the blanket like a guilt burrito.

"Whatever, It'll die down. I'll delete it in the morning" You mumbled. 

Spoiler alert, you didn't.

Instead? You woke up to endless notifications.

And the first thing your brain said to you?

"Check the comments before you pee"

Your hand reached for your phone. Shaky. Delirious.

You opened TikTok.

186K likes. 740K views. 13K saves. 2,409 comments.

"Aj better respond or I'm rioting"

"Babe, he liked this"

You screamed into your blanket.

And then your brain registered it.

Wait.

He liked this?

You froze. Fingers trembling. Scroll. Scroll. Scroll----

@ajshabeel liked your video.

@ajshabeel reposted your video.

You screamed. A full, unfiltered shriek. You slapped a hand over your mouth like someone was going to call the police.

You scrambled upright in bed, phone shaking in your hand. Your heart sounded like Aj's laugh, loud, chaotic, impossible to ignore.

New notification.

@ajshabeel has sent you a message.

You didn't breathe. You didn't move. You stared at it like it might explode.

And then you opened it.

Aj Shabeel: you tryna get me in trouble??? 😭

You dropped the phone. You picked it up again. You read it three more times.

Then you replied,

"hear me out again 👀"

ajshabeel is typing...

Hello lovelies!!! That's a short one lmaoo sorry, I really just forced it out of me.

I hope y'all have an amazing day, absolute love and guidance.

The Real Win - Sharky

Summary: After SDS FC's win, Sharky’s post-match focus shifts from the scoreboard to the one person sprinting toward him, the real victory he's been waiting for.

Pairing: Sharky x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Masterlist.

The final whistle split through the cold like a gunshot.

For a heartbeat, the entire stadium paused, frozen in that electric silence between doubt and confirmation. Then the crowd exploded. SDS FC had done it. The roar of the crowd rolled over the turf like a wave, rattling the camera rigs and shaking flags in the stands. Boots clattered. Laughter rang.

SDS FC had won.

They'd held the line, stolen a counter, buried the goal in the last minute. A gritty, last-gasp win.

Baller League UK, SDS back in the running.

On the touchline, Sharky didn't move.

Sharky wasn't moving.

Not yet.

The players did,  arms in the air, sprinting into each other, falling to the turf like they'd just climbed Everest. But Sharky just stood there, headset slung around his neck, jaw tight. Watching. Processing. 

His jaw clenched as he scanned the field, eyes darting over his squad like a chessmaster double-checking the final move. Then, as the scoreboard flashed its confirmation, he exhaled hard and finally let the smallest grin tug at the corner of his mouth.

His fingers curled into his palm like he wasn't sure yet, like he couldn't let go until he saw something.

And then... he did.

He saw you.

From across the stand, through the teams celebrating in the field. There you were.

The camera followed him.

Not the players. Him.

You.

Because you were already moving.

You were already halfway down the steps.

You always came down after the matches, but this time you didn't wait for the crowd to clear or the final handshake to happen. You were moving like the game was still on, fast, focused, smiling so wide you couldn't breathe through it.

Down the stairs of the stands, bag bouncing on your hip, scarf barely hanging on as you weaved past security. They knew you by now. You were always there. Every home game. Every away match. Rain or freezing wind. Always in that oversized SDS jersey that Sharky had left on your desk "by accident" one night.

He turned just as you hit the edge of the pitch.

And he smiled.

That rare one. The real one. The one that pulled at your chest like a string.

You didn't slow down. You didn't need to.

The pitch was slippery near the edge, and your trainers nearly slipped but you didn't care. You'd worn the SDS FC jersey he gave you months ago, the one that still smelled faintly of the cologne he pretends not to wear and you ran like you'd been waiting for this moment since kickoff.

He stepped forward.

Just once. One step. And you knew it was enough.

You crashed into him, arms flying up around his neck, your bag swinging behind you and almost clocking a poor assistant coach. Sharky caught you mid-jump like he'd done it a hundred times, his arms locking under your thighs to lift you off the ground with practiced ease.

 Your nose bumped his, and your laugh caught somewhere in his neck. Your scarf caught the wind and smacked him in the face. 

"Oi" Sharky muttered, breathless and laughing into your shoulder. 

"That's a red card" Sharky said, his tone teasing.

You buried your face in the collar of his jacket and just held on. Neither of you said anything for a second.

The noise of the crowd was still everywhere, chanting, whistling, flares lighting the upper stands but it was muted in that bubble of arms and hands and heartbeat and breath.

"I swear" You finally said, pulling back enough to look at him, your eyes stupidly glassy.

"I almost threw up during that penalty save" You added.

"You saw that? Man, he nearly--" Sharky said as he blinked at you, the adrenaline still hot behind his eyes. 

"I saw everything. I see every time. Sharky, I'm literally here every week" You cut him off.

He gave you a look, that dry, sarcastic eyebrow lift but his hand slid up to cup the side of your face like he hadn't quite realized you were real until just now.

"Noticed that, you know" Sharky said. 

"You never miss" Sharky added.

"And you should never lose when I'm here" You said, smacking him a little.

"So what I'm hearing is... you have to keep showing up" Sharky said as his grin widened.. 

You didn't answer. You leaned forward and kissed his cheek, soft and quick, right below the line of his cheekbone where the cold had flushed his skin pink. He blinked again but he didn't flinch,  didn't step back.

He just held you.

One arm still looped around you like it was the only thing keeping him upright.

And the camera?

Oh, it caught everything.

Still rolling.

Zoomed in. Crystal clear.

There was a cameraman maybe eight feet away, crouched near the bench, lens trained directly on the two of you. He hadn't moved. The producer in his earpiece probably told him "Don't cut. Don't you dare cut"

You didn't notice, not yet.

But later, in the locker room, while Sharky was going over post-match interviews and replay angles, one of the boys would come over holding his phone, grinning like a kid who found treasure.

"Oi, your girl's gone viral" A voice said, probably one of the players.

The clip already had half a million views. You, sprinting down the stands, your scarf flapping behind you, launching into his arms. Him catching you without missing a step. Your laugh. His look.

No filters. No captions. Just the camera catching something real.

Later, on Twitter, it was reposted by SDS, by fans, liked by everyone with the caption under the video.

"Find someone who runs to you like this after the win"

And the top comment?

"Nah this the stuff that should be in movies"

Hello lovelies!!! This is a short one super sorry!!! I don't know much about baller league uk 

Guess The Boyfriend - King Kenny

Summary: In a special video called Guess The Boyfriend, your secret boyfriend, Kenny, is revealed while Beta Squad tried their hardest to win the game--in short, chaos.

Pairing: King Kenny x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Masterlist

Note: I didn't make this video accurate and I changed it a lot from the eliminations itself lmao just, bear with me yeah?

The camera rolls. The set is bright, lively, and decorated with flashy cameras. In the middle stands you, grinning, heart racing, and trying not to glance too long in one specific direction.

You knew this would be chaos, the fun chaos but chaos nonetheless.

Behind you stand five very familiar faces. The Beta Squad boys, Sharky, Aj, Chunkz, Niko, and Kenny where they are all lined up like contestants on a cheesy dating show and only one of them is your actual boyfriend. The others? Just really committed to the bit.

"Alright everyone!" Aj started. 

"Welcome to Guess The Boyfriend! Today, our lovely guest" Aj said and the boys gestured to you with exaggerated flair

You wave at the camera with a playful smile. Kenny's looking at you, biting back a grin like he always does when he's trying not to laugh. You try not to look, but it's hard because he's in a white tee, chains glinting under the studio lights, hands in his pockets like he's just chilling... like he's not actually your boyfriend who kissed you before this and whispered, "Don't give me away too soon, yeah?"

"Has brought her man here... but won't tell us who it is. That's your job! Our panel of guessers will be asking questions each round and based on their answers, one of the boys will be eliminated every time. Think you can spot the real boyfriend?" Aj said to the group of random people seating and looking all professional for a youtube video.

The three people waved and applauded for themselves. Cyrus, Aila, and Gian--what they introduced themselves to be.

"Yes, I believe we ca-" Cyrus said confidently then was cut off by Aj.

"We don't give the slightest" Aj said turning to the camera with a grin while the boys erupted with laughter. Typical.

"Basically, what Aj said, just shush man" Niko said, laughing.

"Aj starting the video with a violation" Chunkz said.

"And with that, let the games begin" Aj said with a smile.

The game started with the usual question and answer.

"Okay, boys. How did you and Y/N meet?" Aila asked as she leans forward, taking this far too seriously.

"Tesco" Sharky said as he goes first. 

You nearly choke on your laugh.

"I was picking up plantain and YN was reaching for the last one. I snatched it before she could. Sparks flew" Sharky added, very calmly.

Laughter erupts across the room.

"We met on a train. I was reading a book, she asked about it. Said she liked smart guys" Niko said with a smirk but twitchy. A guy who may have never even held a book in his whole life. 

"Mmm, nah. It was at a party. She was lost, looking for the bathroom. I pointed her the wrong way 'cause I thought she was cute and wanted her to come back" Aj said. You raised an eyebrow at his answer because knowing him? He might probably do that. 

"She DM'd me first" Chunkz said with a smug and confident look. 

"Did I?" You asked while you gave him a playfully offended look. 

"Yup, said 'you're funny' I said 'you're pretty' and now we're here" Chunkz said.

Then Kenny, appearing more calm, chill, like it's just another day.

"We met on a shoot. She came to help with wardrobe. We ended up sitting in the hallway talking for ages. Didn't even realize everyone had packed up" Kenny said.

You tried not to smile. That one? The truth.

The guests murmured among themselves. They smell the honesty but it's too early to be sure.

"Alright then, describe your first date" Gian said as he grins. 

"Go-karting where she cheated and still lost" Sharky answered fast. 

"I took her out for Italian. I even remembered her drink order. That's boyfriend behavior, right?" Aj said. 

"Picnic at Hyde Park, she made sandwiches and I brought juice boxes, very romantic stuff" Niko said with a slight shrug, trying too hard to appear nonchalant.

"She cooked for me and that's how I knew she was the one" Chunkz said smoothly, shooting a playful smile and wink in your direction. To others, it might seem flirty but you know him enough to know that it's an act.

Then Kenny.

"Mini golf" Kenny said, his eyes flicking toward you for a second. 

"She beat me but in all honesty? I let her win" Kenny said.

"No, you didn't" You muttered, forgetting yourself.

Everyone turns.

"Interesting slip-up, Y/N!" Cyrus said as he grins. 

Kenny's looking off into the distance like he didn't hear anything. You could strangle him or kiss him.

"Classic. Time for the hug test. One by one, please!" Aila said as she nods. 

Sharky's up first. His hug is brief and jokey, more like two friends awkwardly bumping chests. You both laugh.

Aj's hug lingers, one hand around your waist. Oh he was definitely trying too hard as you noticed that he was a little bit of uncomfortable of being in close physical contact.

"You smell nice" Aj teased and You smacked his arm lightly.

Niko? Classic Niko, he spins you dramatically like he's in a romcom. 

"Tell me that wasn't cinematic" Niko said as he puts you down.

Chunkz pulled you in softly just like he always do whenever he gave hug to his friends You knew this because Chunkz is more of a physical affection person.

"I should win this game just for fun" Chunkz whispered, then he grins as you separated. 

Then Kenny. He steps up, slow then you breathe in. He wraps his arms around you, pulling you tight. Familiar, warm and home.

You almost forget where you are. He doesn't say anything. He doesn't need to.

When you pull back, your face is slightly flushed.

The panel whispers again.

Eventually, one by one, someone gets eliminated.

Sharky was the first to go.

"Tesco? Really?" Gian reasoned.

Then Aj was next.

"You remembered the drink order but not the actual drink" Cyrus said.

Next is Niko. 

"You just give main character energy, too suspicious" Aila said.

"And you're a horrible liar as well, I can tell" Gian said.

"Oh wow, now I wanna scrap him after this" Niko said, looking offended.

"I want the whole NDL to come after him" Niko added, laughing as he made the empty threat.

It's down to Kenny and Chunkz. You tensed but in a good way. The panel goes back and forth. Chunkz has been smooth all game while Kenny's been quiet but every answer landed.

They take their final guess.

"We think... it's Kenny" Cyrus said.

The boys cheer, slapping backs, Kenny flexing.

"Only one way to find out" You said.

"Y/N... time to reveal your actual boyfriend" Chunkz said as he turns to you. 

You smiled and acted like you are about to go to Chunkz's side that made the panelist on edge then you go straight into Kenny's arms.

The room erupts.

"SEE? AND YOU'RE TRYING TO DISAGREE WITH ME?" Gian said while pointing to Alia. 

"Kenny was telling the TRUTH?" Alia said.

Kenny's grinning as he wrapped his arms around you. You rolled your eyes, laughing. 

"Fair enough, I tried my best though" Chunkz said.

"Kenny, you traitor! You said you'd lie with us!" Niko yelled somewhere behind the set. 

"I didn't say anything" Kenny said, smug. 

"Y'all just assumed" Kenny added calmly.

You lean into his side, heart full, cheeks warm. All that secrecy, all that pretending is not worth it anymore. You looked up at him.

"Next time, I'm not hiding you" You said, smiling.

"Was kind of fun though, wasn't it?" Kenny said as he shrugs. 

"Maybe. Just this once" You said as you kissed his cheek. 

"Any last word from the couple?" Sharky asked.

"Play the trailer!" The both of you said.

The camera zooms out on you and Kenny laughing, arms wrapped around each other, while the rest of the boys dramatically fake betrayal.

Best. Reveal. Ever.

Bonus (Why not?) - #KENNYHASAGIRLFRIEND

The video had only been up for an hour.

And the internet was in shambles.

"KENNY WAS TELLING THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TIME I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT--"

"Chunkz talking about 'she DM'd me first' when Kenny was out here hugging her like she was air and he couldn't breathe without her?? Be serious"

"The way Kenny held her. THE WAY HE HELD HER. Like he'd fight God if she asked. I'm not okay"

"Nah but shout out to Sharky saying they met at Tesco. My guy really said 'sparks flew over plantain' I'm crying"

"CHUNKZ WAS ROBBED. Give that man an Oscar for how serious he took this fake relationship"

"The way Kenny was smiling in that hug... we're NEVER getting rid of this video. Iconic"

"She said 'next time I'm not hiding you' and I nearly screamed. WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO BE THIS CUTE"

"Y/N really walked straight past everyone and into Kenny's arms. THE POWER MOVE. I want love like this"

"NOT KENNY BEING THE QUIETEST IN THE ROOM BUT STILL WINNING. y'all he had boyfriend written ALL over him. THE HUG?? I'm sobbing"

"No one talking about how Aj actually remembered a drink order that didn't exist. He was committed"

"why did niko hug her like he was directing The Notebook"

"No bc chunkz was lying his ass off with CONFIDENCE. man gave Idris-level monologue and STILL lost"

"aj: "she smells nice" me: pack it up romeo, you're outta here"

"niko: spins y/n like he's directing la la land the panel: "mmm yeah no, he's lying" 

"chunkz lying so good i almost convinced myself he was my boyfriend too"

Meanwhile, you're sat at home next to Kenny as you refreshed your feed in disbelief. 

"They're insane" You said.

"Look at this one, 'I've seen couples in K-dramas with less chemistry than these two" Kenny said as he chuckles beside you, phone in hand.

"We should start our own series" Kenny said as he looked up at you, smirking. 

"Beta Squad Presents, My Secret Boyfriend?" You said jokingly as you raised an eyebrow. 

"I mean, we wouldn't have to hide anymore. They all know now" Kenny said as he shrugs, pulling you closer. 

"Let them talk. Let them scream, you're mine" You said as you rest your head on his shoulder. 

"And you're mine" Kenny murmurs, kissing your temple.

Hello lovelies!!! Didn't post for a days? I think but here's one so..... enjoy

ALSOO, I didn't try to make this video accurate and I did a LOT OF CHANGES like rules of the vid as I said so yeah. I did this when my internet is down for days and I just got lazy to fix it more accurately but nonetheless, enjoy though

so in the newest video (solitary confinement) sharky REALLY wanted a friend. But since Aj was being a bitch to him (typical Aj I love him sooo much) he decided to bite the bait and sends y/n to his room. Y/n and sharky are the bestest of friends.

So when sharks falls asleep, aj sends y/n to his room and she's just playing with his hair and softly patting his face until he wakes up. When his eyes open, he is over the moon and takes her in a home crushing hug.

This ends up in a very flirty, sappy video where sharky and y/n are basically acting like a cute married couple.

You can also add the fans and boys reaction to the video hehe.

Love ur stuff sm ❤❤❤❤

A Friend in Solitude - Sharky

Summary: Sharky finds comfort in a quiet moment with you during a video challenge

Pairing: Sharky x Reader

Genre: Fluff Masterlist

The room was quiet.

Too quiet.

Sharky had tried to fight it, he really did. He talked to the camera about how he should win the video, slept, and even did a few laps around the room. But boredom turned to restlessness, and restlessness turned to end up where his body curled up in the corner where the bed is and the blanket wrapped around him, breath steady as he finally gave in to the silence and drifted off.

He looked small like that. Still. Tired in a way he rarely ever let show.

Aj watched the screen from the other room, arms crossed, lips twitching between annoyance and affection.

“He actually knocked out” Aj mumbled as he suppressed a laugh pointing at the monitor.

You stood behind him, your eyes soft.

“He hates being alone” You said quietly, watching a hopeless Sharky slowly fall asleep.

“You know that” You added.

Aj sighed like he was pretending not to care but his hand was already reaching for the button.

“Go on then” Aj muttered.

"Before he wakes up and thinks he’s been abandoned” Aj added with a small grin.

You didn’t wait. You slipped through the door, soft steps echoing faintly as you entered the room.

Sharky didn’t stir. His breathing was even. His face relaxed. He looked so at peace, and yet so vulnerable it tugged at your chest.

You knelt beside him gently and reached out, brushing a few curls off his forehead. Your fingers lingered, threading lightly through his hair.

Then, without thinking, you started softly patting his cheek. Not to wake him up fully but just enough to let him know he wasn’t alone anymore.

“Sharky” You whispered.

He blinked awake slowly, confusion written all over his face at first. Then, as his eyes found yours, everything in him softened. The tiredness, the quiet, the dullness in his chest was gone in an instant.

“You’re here” Sharky said as he stared at you like he couldn’t believe it.

“Of course I’m here” You said as you nodded, smiling gently.

Without another word, he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a hug so tight it nearly knocked you off balance. His face is tucked into your neck. His fingers gripped the back of your hoodie like he was scared you’d disappear again.

“I missed you” Sharky murmured with a tired smile.

“I missed you too” You said.

The hug lingered, warm and quiet. You didn’t speak much after that. You didn’t need to.

Eventually, you ended up side by side on the beanbags, his head in your lap again, your fingers still in his hair. He kept glancing up at you like he couldn’t stop smiling.

And you kept brushing his curls back, over and over, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“You okay now?” You asked softly.

“Yeah” Sharky whispered, eyes fluttering shut again.

“Now that you’re here” Sharky added.

And just like that, the confinement didn’t feel so lonely anymore.

Meanwhile, in the control room, Aj had been watching the entire thing unfold on the monitor. His eyes flickered between the two of you, watching the way Sharky melted into the quiet, the way you cared for him so effortlessly. He shook his head, half-amused, half-annoyed.

“You two are insufferable” Aj muttered under his breath, leaning back in his chair.

But the way he glanced at the screen one last time, he couldn't help the small, knowing smile that tugged at his lips.

“Yeah, well, if it works for them…” Aj said as he shrugged.

And for the first time that night, he left the screen on, letting you and Sharky stay exactly where you were. No interruptions. Just the two of you, together.

Matchmakers Extraordinaire - Sharky

When Niko and Chunkz discovers your crush on Sharky, they take it upon themselves to play matchmaker with chaotic, meddling schemes that somehow actually work.

Masterlist.

You've never been great at keeping secrets. At least not when Niko and Chunkz are involved. The two schmucks got this way of reading you like an open book and it doesn't help that they're nosy as hell.

It all starts at one of the usual Beta Squad hangouts, everyone sprawled out in the mansion's living room, arguing over which takeaway to order. You're half-paying attention, mostly watching Sharky from the corner of your eye as he bickers with Kenny over the merits of chicken wings versus pizza.

You don't even notice that your eyes have been lingering a little too long until Niko's stupidly loud laugh startles you. 

"Oi! You tryna undress him with your eyes, or what?" Niko called out with a smug grin, mostly joking at first to get a reaction.

You felt your face flames up instantly. 

"What the hell are you talking about?" You shot back, trying to play it off but it's too late because you saw Chunkz is grinning like the cat that got the cream.

"Ohhhh, I see what's going on" Chunkz as he hummed, nudging Niko with his elbow. 

"Someone's got a little crush on Sharky, huh?" Chunkz added with a smug grin.

"I do not!" You said, too defensively and already feeling the need to disappear into the couch. 

"Yeah, right. You've been eyeing him like he's the last glass of water in the desert. Just admit it" Niko said as he gave you a look so skeptical it almost hurts. 

"You know what this means, right?" Chunkz said while he leans in, voice dropping conspiratorially. 

"What?" You said as you squint at him suspiciously. 

"Matchmaking duties. Don't worry, we've got you" Chunkz said while he grins, all too pleased with himself. 

"Please don't do anything weird--" You said, already feeling your stomach flips. 

"It's already too late" Niko cuts in, and you swear you can see gears turning in his head. 

"By next week, Sharky's gonna be confessing his undying love for you" Niko teased.

"You guys are ridiculous" You said as you rolled your eyes, even as your heart races. 

"Ridiculously good at this. Trust me" Chunkz said as he gave you a wink. 

And from that moment on, your peaceful existence is absolutely ruined. Niko and Chunkz take it upon themselves to set up every possible scenario with multiple trials to get you and Sharky alone together.

Trial number one: The "Accidental" Partner Switch

The Beta Squad decided to film another dumb challenge, some sort of cooking competition that requires partners. It's random as always, but somehow you end up paired with Sharky.

"Wait, I swear I was with Kenny a second ago" Sharky says, glancing around.

"Yeah, but then Kenny said he's got some, uh, chicken-related trauma---can't be around raw meat or something. So you and Y/N, congrats!" Niko said as he smirked, waving his hand dismissively. 

"Chicken-related trauma?" You said with a confused blink. 

"Very tragic. Anyway, you two have fun. Remember, cooperation is key. And, you know, flirting while you cook is always a plus" Chunkz said, backing Niko's ridiculous waffle while he nods solemnly. 

"Why are you always chatting nonsense?" You said but Sharky just laughed. 

"Am I?" Chunkz said while he grins before turning to fiddle with the camera but his wink in your direction doesn't go unnoticed.

Trial number two: The Party Push

It's another one of the chaotic house parties. You're about to make a beeline for the snacks when Chunkz pulls you aside.

"Yo, Sharky's been looking for you" Chunkz said randomly, as if he was talking about the weather.

"Why?" You said as your eyes widen, already getting weird sensations in your stomach. 

"I dunno. Maybe he wants to ask you to dance? Better find him quick, innit?" He shrugs, but there's a glint in his eyes that promised chaos. 

Before you can respond, Chunkz is already steering you toward the living room where Sharky's chatting with some randoms.

"Bruv, you're slacking. Y/N's right here, waiting for you" Niko said as he nudges Sharky hard enough to make him stumble a little. 

"Uh, hey. You wanna... wanna dance or something?" Sharky said as his eyes widen for a moment before keeping composure and he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. 

"Sure, why not?" You said, with a real genuine smile.

Despite the feeling of being able to murder Chunkz along with Niko, but that awkwardly hopeful look on Sharky's face makes you nod. 

Trial number three: The "Trapped in a Room" Trick

"Can you grab the snacks from the guest room? Thanks!" Niko calls out.

You've barely taken two steps into the room before you hear the door shut behind you.

Turning around, you find Sharky on the other side of the door, looking just as confused. 

"Uh... you looking for snacks too?" Sharky said while awkwardly standing there with not a single coherent thought in his mind.

"Niko told me to come in here for them" You said as you raised an eyebrow. 

"Same... and now the door's locked" Sharky said then letting out a sigh once the sound of the door locking echoes. 

Your phone buzzes, and you glance down at the text from Niko.

"You're both locked in until you sort out your weird tension. You're welcome"

"I'm going to kill him" You said with a groan. 

"He's such a prick. But since we're stuck... might as well keep me entertained, yeah?" Sharky said as he just chuckled, leaning against the wall. 

His smile is charming enough to make you forget your irritation for a moment.

Trial number four: The Coffee Shop Conspiracy

You're running late to meet the boys at a cafe. When you arrive, it's just Sharky sitting there with an empty seat across from him.

"Where's everyone else?" you asked, sliding into the seat.

"Oh, they said they were on their way. You want something to drink?" Sharky said.

You nod, and Sharky goes up to order for you and that's when your phone pings. A notification from Chunkz.

"Slight change of plans. It's just you and Sharky today. Call it a date. Have fun! ;)"

Your eyes narrow at the screen but before you can even think about texting them a scathing reply, Sharky's back with your drink and that ridiculously endearing smile.

"Hope I got it right," Sharky said, passing the drink to you.

He did. 

Because of course he remembers.

"Yeah, you did" you said softly, cheeks warm. 

Trial number five: The Successful Set Up

You're not sure how, but somehow you ended up on a little day out with Sharky. Just the two of you.

It started with Niko messaging you, insisting that you had to check out the new rooftop arcade he found because "It's got your name written all over it" And then, of course, Chunkz somehow got Sharky to tag along with a suspiciously similar message.

It's all so obvious you can barely roll your eyes anymore but you're here and it's fun. More than fun, really. The games are great, the view is incredible and Sharky's competitive streak is so entertaining that you almost forget how hard you're crushing on him. Almost.

At some point, the two of you find yourselves sharing a booth at a small diner nearby, drinks in hand, and laughing about how badly Sharky's aim sucks at the basketball arcade game.

"I swear, those hoops were rigged" Sharky insists with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that" You teased. 

"I've seen you trip over your own feet, so I don't think hand-eye coordination's your strong suit either" You added.

Sharky narrows his eyes at you, but it's playful, his smile never really fading. 

"Okay, that's fair. Maybe I'm just more of a thinker than a doer" Sharky said.

"Oh, sure. You just think really hard about missing shots" You said.

"You know, this was... nice. Just us" Sharky said with a laugh, leaning back in the booth, and for a second, his gaze lingers on you. 

The admission feels like a confession and you can't help but swallow nervously. 

"Yeah. It was" You said, feeling the tension rising between you two

His fingers drum against the table before he speaks again, eyes dropping to his drink like he's shy all of a sudden. 

"Would you... want to do this again? Like, just us?" Sharky said, looking at you with the same hopeful expression in his eyes that you can't seem to say no to.

Is he...?

No, he's definitely asking you out. 

"I'd like that" You said, barely keeping your voice steady. 

And his smile could probably light up the whole damn city.

The next time you're all hanging out, you try to keep things casual. Not that it matters because the second you step into the room with Sharky, you know Niko and Chunkz can smell the change.

You barely sit down before Niko's making obnoxious smooching noises and nudging Chunkz with his elbow. 

"Look at them! They're practically glowing. I told you our genius plan would work!" Niko said, vibrating with energy.

"Of course it worked. Who do you think you're talking to? Matchmaking extraordinaire, fam" Chunkz said as he leaned back with the most self-satisfied grin on his face.

"More like 'meddling pricks'" Sharky grumbles, but there's no heat to his words. In fact, he's smiling, too, even when he's pretending to be annoyed.

"You two are the most obvious schemers I've ever seen" You said as you shoved Niko's shoulder, groaning. 

"Obvious but effective" Chunkz counters smoothly. 

"And judging by the fact you two walked in looking all cozy, I'd say you should be thanking us" Chunkz added.

You exchange a glance with Sharky, and his eyes are twinkling with amusement. 

"You know what? Fine. You two get credit" You said.

"YES! That's all I needed. Now, invite me to the wedding, yeah?" Niko said teasingly with a laugh. 

"Okay, slow down, you're still on thin ice" You said with a laugh.

"You say that but you're the one who actually let our schemes work. You're welcome, by the way" Chunkz said as he shrugs. 

Maybe they are obnoxious and nosy and absolutely terrible at subtlety but they're also your friends and maybe, just maybe, they were right this time.

Summary: Aj gets jealous after seeing you with Duke Dennis, only to awkwardly confess he likes you when he can't take it anymore.

Pairing: Aj Shabeel x Reader

Genre: Fluff, Jealousy, Light Angst

Masterlist

You weren't flirting.

You were laughing. There's a difference. Right?

Duke Dennis was funny. Chill. That kind of easygoing where you could talk to him about anything and he'd just get it. Like when he started roasting British slang and you tried to defend Aj's use of "dead food" only to realize halfway through... no, yeah. That was indefensible.

But in your defense, Duke Dennis was funny. He had that quiet confidence, the southern drawl, and the kind of chill that made you feel like you'd known him forever. Plus, it wasn't that deep.

Except Aj was acting like you'd just proposed marriage.

You were all filming in some bougie rented London house, white marble everything, velvet couches. AMP x Beta Squad. Pure content madness. You were helping out behind the scenes, technically but the cameras were rolling so constantly you might as well have been part of the shoot.

You sat on the counter, legs swinging, trying not to feel too aware of the camera guys walking around or the fact that Duke smelled kind of nice. Like cologne and trouble.

Then he said something stupid like

"Wait, y'all really call fries 'chips'? That's disrespectful" Duke said, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

And you laughed.

That kind of laugh. Head back. Hand to your chest. Full, ridiculous, joy-in-your-teeth laugh.

And that's the exact moment Aj walked in.

You didn't see him. Not right away.

But you felt it.

Like someone cranked the temperature down 20 degrees.

He didn't say hi. Didn't look at you. Just grabbed a Red Bull like it was personal, cracked it open like he was mad at the tab, and walked back out like he didn't even see you sitting there.

You blinked. Looked at Duke.

"Was that... weird?" You asked.

"Dunno but he definitely didn't dap me up" Duke said as he shrugged. 

Your smile faded a little.

Okay... that was weird.

By 2 pm, you were ready to throw something.

Aj wasn't talking to you.

Scratch that---he was actively avoiding you.

He cracked jokes, sure. Played up for the cameras. He was loud, animated, classic Aj but when you tried to join the conversation, he hit you with one-word replies.

You'd tried three separate times to start a normal conversation. Once while walking past him, once during a group take, once when you offered him a crisp. You were met with,

"Yeah" Aj said, flatly.

A nod.

And your personal favorite--a grunt.

You offered him snacks. He took them without eye contact.

You said "nice shot" after a challenge. He grunted.

You caught him once, across the room, jaw clenched, watching you laugh at something Duke said. Like he was trying to calculate whether to flip a table or not.

You were used to Aj being playful. Loud. Goofy. Calling you "chatty lil ting" and telling you to "shush" whenever you got too passionate about something dumb like oat milk or zodiac signs.

This Aj?

Silent, serious and standoffish.

And maybe it was dumb but it was getting to you.

What did you even do?

Okay, yes, you had been talking to Duke. But it wasn't flirting. Not like, actual flirting.

Just... smiling. Talking. A little hair touch. A shoulder graze. A playful mic fix.

Oh no.

Maybe it was flirting.

You chewed your lip and caught AJ watching you across the room, eyes dark, jaw tight, like he was plotting your execution and Duke's at the same time.

You looked away. Immediately.

He was definitely mad.

Chunkz noticed too. 

"Your boy's brooding over there" Chunkz whispered as he leaned over

You snorted. 

"He's not my--" You said, mid eye roll and then you paused.

Was he?

It wasn't until later, after most of the crew had gone for a break, that things finally cracked.

You were helping Duke fix his mic. The battery pack had slipped from his hoodie, and you were reaching up, fingers brushing the collar, when you heard footsteps. 

You glanced up at Aj.

He didn't say anything.

Didn't move either. He just stood there.

Silent.

Watching.

"Yo, what's good bro?" Duke said, casually.

Aj barely nodded.

You stepped back quickly, heart thudding against your ribs like it wanted to break free and escape the awkward tension.

"Hey" You said, voice light. 

"Everything okay?" You asked.

He locked eyes with you. Hard stare. No smile.

Then turned around. Walked off.

You didn't think. You followed.

He was outside by the catering table, fork in hand, stabbing a piece of grilled chicken like it had personally offended him.

You approached, arms folded.

"Aj" You said.

He didn't look at you.

"Aj, are you gonna tell me what's going on, or should I keep guessing?" You asked as you stepped closer. 

Still no answer. Just chewing. Aggressive chewing.

"Okay, are you mad at me or just passionate about attacking your lunch?" You asked as you sighed, exasperated. 

"Why don't you ask Duke?" Aj said, without even looking up. 

You paused. 

"Sorry--what?" You asked.

"Man's clearly got your attention. Thought you might be busy with him" Aj said as he shrugged, still chewing. 

You blinked. The tone was cold. Dismissive. Weirdly quiet for Aj.

He finally looked at you. Sharp eyes. Lips pursed. Voice calm, but only barely.

"I'm not in the mood for games" Aj said. 

"Neither am I" You shot back, pulse rising. 

"But you're acting like I just kissed him on camera or something" You said.

Despite all that, Aj still said nothing. That's when it clicked to your brain.

"Wait, are you jealous?" You asked slowly. 

"Jealous of what?" Aj asked as he scoffed. 

"You tell me" You said as you crossed your arms. 

He finally looked at you. His jaw was tight. Eyes unreadable.

"You were flirting" Aj said.

"I was talking" You said as your brow shot up. 

"Nah, that was flirting. I know what I saw" Aj said.

"You saw me helping him with a mic, A. Not giving him a damn lap dance" You said.

"Don't do that" Aj said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Don't do what?" You asked.

"Act like I'm mad for no reason. You know what you're doing" Aj said as he stepped forward, just slightly. 

You stared at him. The tension was thick now. Your heart pounded.

"I wasn't doing anything you don't do when you're around girls on camera" You said.

"That's content" Aj shot back.

"And me smiling at Duke was what? Betrayal?" You said as he tilted your head. 

He didn't answer.

You took a step closer. You could smell his cologne now. Something sharp and clean, like citrus and ego.

"Why does it bother you?" You asked, voice lower. 

"Seriously" You added.

Aj blinked. Swallowed.

"Because I like you" Aj muttered.

Silence.

You blinked.

"What?" You asked, barely heard anything.

Aj ran a hand over his face, like the words had exhausted him.

"I said I like you. And it's annoying. And I didn't expect it. And I don't want to see you giggling with some other guy, especially not in front of me" Aj said.

You just stood there.

Completely frozen.

He looked at you again. Softer now. Frustrated but honest.

"And yeah, I was jealous. Happy now?" Aj added, quieter. 

Your brain completely short-circuited.

He liked you.

Aj Shabeel liked you.

And he was jealous.

And he looked good when he was jealous.

And--oh no. You were smiling.

 "And it's pissing me off that I finally admit that to myself and you're over there smiling at another man like he invented laughter" Aj said.

You stared at him. The annoyance. The jealousy. The pout.

And then-- God help you-- you smiled.

"Okay" You said softly.

"Okay what?" Aj said as his eyes narrowed. 

"I like you too, dumbass" You said.

Pause.

"You do?" Aj asked in confusion.

You nodded.

He stared at you, expression slowly morphing from angry to confused to--smug.

"So... you were tryna make me jealous?" Aj asked.

"No!" You said as you laughed. 

"Oh-- okay" Aj said as his grin cracked through.

"You were sulking over chicken, Aj" You said with a smile.

"Yeah, well. You're mine now, so..." Aj said as he stepped closer. His voice dropped.

"Oh, now?" You asked, smirking now.

"Yeah, say less" Aj said, smiling back at you.

Hello lovelies!!! I'm sorry that the consistency wasn't really that good anymore. I have lost motivation writing, I hope u can understand it. That doesn't mean that I won't write for them. I will but probably slower updates and shi.

I hope y'all have an amazing day, absolute love and guidance.
