————Y/N's POV—————
The familiar key clicked open, and I followed Kawaii~Chan down to the basement, to her shipping shrine. It’s… endearing, honestly. I quickly printed a photo of Aaron and Aphmau kissing – a perfect shot – and taped it to the wall.
We squealed together, giddy with shared excitement.
“Can I tell you something?” Kawaii~Chan asked, her voice soft. She never uses her name when she asks.
“Sure,” I replied, already smiling.
“My real name isn’t Kawaii~Chan.”
“Then what is it?” I asked, genuinely curious.
“It’s Nana,” she said quietly, glancing down. “Please don’t tell anyone. You can call me Nana in private, if you want.”
“Okay, Nana,” I agreed easily. “Anyways, back to Aarmau!” I giggled, returning to our shared obsession.
“Kawaii~Chan! Y/N! The rest of the gang are here!” Katelyn’s voice floated down the stairs.
“Coming!” I called, and Nana and I hurried up, side-by-side.
————Time Skip to Outside————
Stepping outside felt like walking into a swarm of… boys. So many boys. This is where I unleash Y/N, the flirt.
“Y/N!” Aphmau shouted, then stopped, turning to face me with a grin. “Hey Aph. So, introductions. Who am I meeting first?”
“Zane,” she replied, and with a surprisingly strong grip, *dragged* me towards a boy shrouded in shadow.
Zane was dressed entirely in black, a mask obscuring his mouth and nose. Beneath the dark fringe, his eyes were a startling baby blue – eyes that could easily swallow you whole.
“Hey. I’m Y/N,” I said, offering a tentative smile.
“I’m Zane. Now can I go?” he asked, his voice surprisingly level.
“Nope,” Aphmau said firmly. “You’re staying here until this party ends.” I giggled, imagining his frustration.
“Zane, Zane, Zane. I think we’re going to get along just fine. I actually hate socialising.” I said, smiling again.
“Then what are you doing here?” he countered, tilting his head.
“Socialising. This is usually how much I socialise in a year but I think that’s gonna change.” I replied with a laugh.
“Okay, c’mon Y/N. Time to meet Garroth and Laurence.” Aphmau tugged me along again.
Two boys stood side-by-side. One with ocean blue eyes and blond hair, the other with light blue eyes and brown hair.
“Laurence, Garroth, this is Y/N. Y/N, these are Laurence and Garroth.” Aphmau introduced us.
“Hi Y/N. N-Nice to m-meet you,” Garroth stammered, his cheeks flushing pink.
“Nice to meet you too. Now Aphmau, who’s next?” I asked, eager to keep moving.
“Gene and Dante,” she said, already pulling me towards another pair.
Aphmau led me to two boys engaged in conversation. One had black hair and cyan blue eyes. The other had dark blue hair and matching eyes. They were both cute. Why are all the boys so damn cute?! I wondered.
“Hi. I’m Y/N,” I introduced myself, smiling brightly.
“I’m Gene, and this is my younger brother Dante,” he said, gesturing towards his brother.
“Nice to meet you Gene and Dante,” I said.
“Hey beautiful,” a voice purred from behind me.
I turned to see Travis, his silver hair gleaming under the sunlight. I looked him up and down, then met his green eyes.
“Hey handsome,” I replied, my own lips curving into a smile. I noticed everyone stopped what they were doing when Travis called me beautiful.
“So… what’s your name beautiful?” Travis asked, leaning closer. I knew this was Travis because of how he called me 'beautiful'.
“My name is Y/N and yours?” I asked back.
“Travis. AKA the Casanova.” He introduced himself and took my hand, pressing his lips against my knuckles while I giggled quietly.
——TIME SKIP TILL AFTER FLIRTING——
After flirting with Travis, Aaron came up to me and the party really began.
I had a great time meeting all the boys from the gang. I think I've fallen for all of them. I still had a good time even when Aaron threw me into the pool.
Heh. After the party I headed home, took a shower, and went straight to bed.
