Here's a little exerpt from that kel x mikhael fanfiction i'm writing,,,
The Maverick… Hang out… With Kel? Preposterous!
“That is an absolutely–” the Maverick began haughtily, his nose stuck up, before he cut himself off, eyes widening as he realised what Kel was doing.
Huh. His rival was more cunning than the Maverick had first given him credit for, he had to admit. Trying to lull him into a false sense of security, then pounce when the time was right! It was a devious plan, and Kel certainly was a good actor. Expressing concern for Angel, trying to get the Maverick’s guard down while subtly expressing his hate through insults… It was clever, very clever. But two could play at that game.
“–wonderful idea,” the Maverick gritted out, rather than letting loose the ‘ridiculous’ that had been at the tip of his tongue.
“You think so?” Kel asked brightly. “'Cause Hero’s always so busy with his studies, and basketball’s fun and all but I don’t wanna do it all the time, and you don’t seem like a bad person, even if you are a bit of a jerk sometimes.”
Despite the way his face was steadily reddening, the Maverick kept that facsimile of a smile plastered onto his face. His facade was far from convincing, but it would suffice. “...Indeed.”
“Uh, Mikhael, you good?” Kel’s feigned worry and use of the wrong name made the Maverick’s face darken further. “You kind of look like a tomato.”
Things are going great :)
