been in my drafts for ages, so while i work on part 21 of spark up!, you get this. @hyuckheart uwu
so u and lele are Ultimate Rivals at your neighbourhoodâs favourite hangout - Laser Tag
you two have never gone one round without one of you killing the other
and one of you always ends up winning top dog.
chenle has won the last 4 rounds, and todayâs the day you take over
youâve made it your mission to edge chenle out â itâs your time to shine
youâre all serious and prepping when you realize chenleâs brought some friends
and theyâre all talking about you and you get ANGRY
because chenleâs doing that laugh he does and his friends are chuckling with him
and itâs directed towards you! you see them sneaking very non-subtle glances >:(
so you clench your jaw and turn around, tying your shoe that you purposely stepped on to slip the laces out
when you feel a tap on your shoulder
you look back to see a lele rubbing his neck, smiling at you
âmy friends think that you look too nice to be a laser tag killer.â
you scoff and stand, rolling your eyes at the bleach-blonde boy
âyour friends think? or are you just trying to discourage me from ending your winning streakâ
he stumbles back, laughing, wide eyes
âno no, that was me trying to compliment youâ
âcompliment my laser tag skills thenâ
he stills and then erupts in laughter again, getting weird looks from his friends despite this being his usual behaviour
âif you win⌠you get all the hype you want and iâll never shoot you againâ
your eyes widen and you posture up, ready to accept his deal
when he interrupts that thought
ââ but if i win, you have to call me âzhong chenle, king of all lasers everâ
and your eyes just gleam with your goddamned competitive spirit
that always gets the best of you,,,,,
âyou have a deal, zhongâ
and he grabs your hand, shaking it animatedly
before running back to his friends with a thumbs up
and then the staff member comes in and powers up the machines, opening the doors to the arena
and you charge in at full speed, wanting to get to the high ground that youâve basically claimed as your own over the many many games youâve played
once you finish climbing the ladders and ramps you sigh with exhaustion, lifting up your gun and surveying the course below
one of chenleâs friends made the rookie mistake of wearing white - he glowed like a lamp under the black lights and so did his vest
so you popped him, with his cry of dismay
âeliminated - na jaeminâ
you smiled and kept watching, racking up the points
âeliminated - lee donghyuckâ
âCHENLE YOU LITTLE BITCHâ
âeliminated - lee jenoâ
âJISUNG WHAT THE FUCKâ
âeliminated - mark leeâ
âeliminated - park jisungâ
âu kno chenle,,, thought we had something special.â
âeliminated - huang renjunâ
âchenle ur ULTIMATE ENEMY just killed your best chinese friend how do you feelâ
until itâs just you and chenle
but you have no idea where the usually loud, rambunctious boy is
due to him literally becoming dead quiet all of a sudden, a complete 180
youâre beginning to get nervous and jumpy up on your elevated perch, debating whether to go down and do some ground work,
when you feel some extra weight on the thin wooden floor behind you
âhey y/n!â and a loud, dolphin laugh
âyou think i forgot this is your favourite spot?â
and you just freeze, the goosebumps on your arms almost painful
becAUSE YOU ARE NOT CALLING THIS DOLPHIN BOY THE KING OF ALL LASERS EVER
you would literally rather die at this point
and so you stand up, placing your free hand on mr. zhongâs shoulder
because if you canât beat em
and you plant one right on the mischievous boyâs unsuspecting lips
which isnât the worst thing youâve ever done, despite scaring the shit out of the poor boy
because letâs be really real here - heâs cute. youâre cute. heâs funny. you appreciate that.
taking the time provided by leleâs kiss-induced shock to bring up your gun and shoot him straight in the chest sensor
âeliminated - zhong chenleâ
and you draw back, smiling wide and looking up at the startled boy
and you tippytoe up to whisper (yell) in his ear
ây/n, ruler of the laser dome!!!!â
and he doesnât even react
so the lights come on and you just see chenle blushing furiously, touching his lips
not moving despite the announcer ordering you out
âcome on chenle we gotta go,,,,â
and you guys leave together, going to the exit area after dumping your guns and vests in the cubbies
and chenle just reaches out, grabbing your hand before the end of the exit hallway where his friends were probably waiting to beat him up for losing
ây/n, whyâd you do thatâ
âuh so i could kill youâ
no way youâd admit it to him that you maybe. had a crush on him
jokes youâre weak and heâs cute and flustered and you canât be that mean to the boy, despite being rivals
âmaybe because i think youâre cute. maybe. but mostly to kill youâ
he blushes again and looks down at his feet, rambling a mile a minute
ây-you know,,, i would have kissed you back but i was scared. not scared of kissing, of course, iâm mature,,,,,, scared of getting shot. not really scared of getting shot i had no idea you were going to do that. maybe just scared of you. not of you, that sounds weird, aaaahâŚâŚ.â
âchenle. lele. calm down. breathe.â
he giggles and looks back up at you, hope in his eyes
âcan i have a redo? donât shoot me this timeâ
and he just leans down without giving you time to answer, giving you a quick peck
because letâs be honest here heâs still scared and heâs shaking a little bit like a chihuahua
âchenle i donât even have a gun how would i shoot youâ
âiâm still nervous, ok, please stopâ
