You’re The Embarassed One?! I Didn’t Think Anyone Would Translate It Or Even See It 😭 But Yeah,

First kiss (Candy x Amber)

I really wanted to join in for idolcandy's Dykecember challenge, and even though we're already at the half of the month, it's better late than never! if someone wants to requests a pair for a specific day, my askbox is open ^^

Dykecember day 1: first kiss

Words: 1474

Candy's P. O. V.

My phone buzzed with a new notification.

why didn't you pick up? are you in class?

Ever since Nath left, Amber and I looked after his flat, especially Blanche. She has always been an independent lady, but her master's sudden and long disappearance didn't affect her well. It didn't affect any of us well. Even when she wasn't around, I hung out often in his apartment. I liked the quiet that I couldn't experience in the dorms, and I buried myself in my studies.

I tried to divert my thoughts. I didn't tell Rosa or Alexy what was up, but I'm sure they picked up after some time, as I continuously rejected going out clubbing or shopping with them. Rosa told me that I could talk to her anytime, but knowing her opinion about Nath, I rather kept to myself.

So who was left? Amber and Kim were the only two people who still kept in touch with Nath, but Kim was busy managing the gym. She also didn't know about Nath's ehm... business, and with Amber we didn't even feel it fair to tell her about it.

That left just the two of us, Amber and me. I still couldn't quite comprehend the change she went through. Those piercings eyes that I always found cold and condescending in high school, now they lit up when she saw me, always cheerfully greeting. The delicate fingers that carried out so many pranks on me, now I had the opportunity to watch them drum mindlessly on the tabletop while we're having lunch together. One hand would be enough to keep count of the times she behaved kind towards me, and yet now I found myself spending more and more time with her...

It feels wrong to even think about it, considering that she's my ex-boyfriend's sister, but there's something enchanting about her. When I'm with her, I cannot stop thinking about her plush lips and what it would feel like to have them on mine. When she's away, I'm nervous, waiting for the time we meet again.

How does hate turn to love?

Is it even love? I see who I want to see. I'm imagining a personality for her that maybe she doesn't even have. She has her own life, her own passions, her own problems. Hell, the only thing tying us together - Nath - didn't even use to have a good relationship with her until only recently. If she's not the cruel teenager who made my days sour, then I have no idea who she is beyond her worry and love for Nath.

I used to think we share that, but I'm ashamed to see that my heart is beating for someone else now.

My phone buzzed again.

hello?? anyone there?

The student in the row in front of me turned around to shush me. I guess he had had enough of my phone making noise...

This helped pull me out of my daydreams. Although I did spend much of my free time with studying now, I still couldn't keep track of Mr. Lebard's class. If there was a course for reading lullabies to adults, he could be the perfect professor for it...!

I muted my phone, then finally checked out the new messages. Amber has previously asked me if I was free to help her out sometime, as she's moving in to Nath's apartment. God knows when he's going to use it again, meanwhile Amber's model career isn't going as well as she hoped. To save some money, she decided to give out her flat for rent, and live in Nath's place for some time.

I offered to help her move her stuff, but due to our different timetables it wasn't easy to find an afternoon that suited both of us. I sent her a quick reply:

yes, I'm in class, but it ends in 5. I'll call you after

---

"I already found a tenant. She's moving in on Saturday, so I must leave tomorrow the latest."

"Wow, that was quick. Well, I don’t have any classes left today, so it's totally up to you. If you think you have too much stuff, we can ask someone else for help too. I'm sure Kim would be happy to join in, or maybe Castiel...."

What an idiot! I already forgot how big of a crush she had on him. It was partly the reason she was so hard on me. She misinterpreted my friendship with him as something more, and jealousy is never a good advisor.

Either the static of the phone helped hide the tone of her voice, or she was over him by now, as she replied completely unfazed.

"The two of us should be enough, I don't have that many belongings. See you tomorrow afternoon."

"That's perfect for me, alright. I'll meet you at your place. "

---

She was right, even with just the two of us we finished sooner than I expected. We talked while moving the boxes, to help pass the time. Only lighthearted topics came up, but it wasn’t the kind of small talk that makes even silence comfortable compared to it. I offered to leave once we were done with the actual relocation, to let her unpack alone, but Amber insisted I stay. She put on some music, and fished out a bottle of champagne from one of the cabinets.

"I bought this for Nath on our last birthday, although I know he’s not much of a drinker. It would be a shame if this got spoilt, am I right?"

I laughed a little while shrugging. "Well, I don’t think Nath would be mad…"

Amber unscrewed the bottle, and shook her head.

"You know what, I don’t want to talk about him. He made his own choices, whatever we think about them. I worry for him, and I know you do too, but he’s not a child." She handed me a glass, and took a sip from her own. "I’m sure two young ladies such as us can find a thousand better topics to discuss."

I couldn’t help but laugh, not missing to notice her wink in the meantime. I didn’t know what to add, so I took my glass, thankful for the "alibi" for not speaking.

"Soo… what are you going to do once you graduate? There’s not much time left until the end of your studies if I recall correctly."

"I never actually got this far when I was making plans for my future."

It was Amber’s turn to laugh, though she was more cynical than me.

"I get that, I didn’t plan this ahead either. When I started, I received two photoshoot offers for each one I did. I thought I was one of the few people who are lucky enough to skyrocket their career right from the beginning. Guess I was wrong."

Little by little, I had already finished my glass by then, and I felt a small confidence boost. I sat next to Amber, hugging her shoulders with my arm.

"I’m not speaking from experience of course, but I’m sure it’s normal to have ups and downs. The things we see in movies are romanticized, it’s never easy in real life."

I was so caught up in trying to comfort her that I didn’t even notice when she refilled both of our glasses.

"Yeah, I can second that. It’s never easy in real life…"

Maybe I was imagining things, but I had the impression that she was avoiding my gaze as she spoke.

I tried to recall all occasions we were together like this. Those late night phone talks, those seemingly meaningless strolls in the park, those "study dates" that always ended up being gossip afternoons. I never noticed until now, but sometimes she would mention her feelings of loneliness and being lost. I always thought she was the kind of social, confident, strong woman that they write motivational articles about in the newspaper. But I realised that it wasn’t only me who started spending more and more time with her; I also took up a bigger part of her life now than I did before. And while I wasn’t sure how she felt about this, I certainly knew how I did.

Mostly thanks to the liquid courage that the now three glasses of champagne gave me, I leaned in, half hopeful, half scared of her reaction. Amber didn’t pull away, and after a few seconds even put down her glass to place her hand on my thigh. Our kiss deepened, and I felt a sense of calm wash over me: whatever confusion I was going through in my life with my studies ending, my unknown future incoming, but also the consequences of Nath’s past threatening to reach Amber and me as well, now I knew I wasn’t alone with it.

Candy’s P. O. V.

Is there a better feeling than watching the snow fall while you're sitting next to a cosy fireplace? Because I don't think there is. I sipped my hot chocolate as I listened to the TV, but my eyes were on my lover in the kitchen.

Rayan and I rented a cottage in the mountains for the holidays. It was great to have a little time off with just the two of us. Our first day started off calmly, with just getting accustomed to the new place. However, as the night started to fall, the snowing got more and more serious, and the weather forecast didn't sound too encouraging either.

"...we can expect that in the next couple of days heavy snowing will rea..."

With a sigh, I turned it off then headed to the kitchen. Rayan greeted me with a radiant smile when I got in. He put my empty mug down, then took my face in his hands and pressed a kiss on my lips. I remained silent for a while, but he knew me so well.

"Is the storm troubling you?" he asked sweetly. I nodded and let him wrap his hands around me. The thought of staying quiet and enjoying his embrace flashed through my mind, but somehow I still admitted in a low voice:

"I've never been in a snow storm in my life."

I heard him chuckle, but he cleared his throat and forced a serious face when he saw that I was a bit grumpy. He pressed a kiss on my nose as a way of apology.

"Sorry for laughing, that was just too cute." I couldn't be angry at him of course, we were both smiling at this point. "Back to the subject, there's nothing to be afraid of. We're not on the road or out in the nature. We won't get hurt, I promise."

The storm came of course, but nothing happened to us, true to his reassurance. For some reason the thought of sleeping terrified me, so we both stayed awake the whole night. The fire in the furnace burnt down, but the embers were giving out warmth for quite a time. Sitting on the carpet, drinking hot chocolate and sharing our childhood stories about our first snow, the storm was the last thing on my mind.

here's the prompt list!

please request maximum two prompts at once. if you like more of them, then please send more requests, it'll be okay ^^ (you can also ask for something from one of the other two linked prompt lists, just tell me which prompt list you mean)

fandoms: My Candy Love, Sweet Elite

Roommates Prompts

There is a blackout in the whole building and now we stumble through our apartment, trying to find some candles.

We all want to save the planet, but maybe starting with recycling is a more reasonable idea than showering with your roommate to save water.

Game night is a very important event in our apartment and we just keep finding new ways to compete with each other.

We decided to deep-clean and declutter our entire apartment, can’t be too embarrassing what we find, right?

The landlord still hasn’t repaired the heater in our apartment and we’re already wearing several layers of clothes, we need to find other ways to keep warm.

Accidently ending a phone call with your roommate with a casual ‘I love you’ seems like a very good reason to move out.

I have work in the morning and I can’t sleep while you’re making music next door, composing love songs for your secret crush.

With a bunch of roommates, the mornings can really turn into HBO’s hit show Game of Toilets.

My alarm is loud enough so you can hear it through the wall, so when I don’t want to get up, you come over to turn it off and drag me out of bed.

The snow storm makes it impossible to go outside, so let’s build a blanket fort and spend the day in there.

Roommates to lovers | Roommate AUs

If you like my blog and want to support me, you can buy me a coffee! 🥰

are you srsly going to betray Nath and leave him for that old fucker Eric? Wtf is wrong with you? So many fake fans of Nathaniel in this fandom smh

I guess you’re reacting to what I wrote as a comment on one of Fa’s posts, and I can see that you didn’t read my other comment

(*somehow, typo)

I can also see that you don’t follow me on either of my blogs and / or read my posts, otherwise you would know that I have been a Nath girl since very long. what if I wrote it as a joke? then you’re overreacting

I’m not a “fake fan” I just want to see where the story will take me if I make my own choices (so I don’t use guides) and it looks more and more like I will get the bad ending. we don’t know yet what it will mean ofc, but most likely it will be breaking up

yes, I like Eric’s character even tho I don’t want to get together with him. what is it to you? it’s my account, if I wanted to win him over, I totally could

if you want to know more, feel free to write and discuss, tho I seriously doubt it. it seems like, for you, going in someone’s askbox anonimously to trash on them is enough to prove your loyalty to a fictional, 2D man. I don’t think anything I say really matters

LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED

Yayy! I’m rooting for you!

If it’s not too intrusive, what theme(s)?

Someday I'm gonna publish a book.

happy new year! ✨

2024 is over, but not my (hopefully not temporary) motivation for writing! my plans for the beginning of the year:

finish Dykecember. even though December ended, I really liked this challenge and I have an idea for most of the prompts, so I want to finish it, no matter how much time it takes. as it's a different month now, I don't think I'll care about the numbering of the days that much - I'll go with what I like, and eventually all 31 will be done

complete the old requests. I have some "leftover" requests from before my break (yes, from years ago.... I'm ashamed of myself). I wanted to do Dykecember as a way of practice to get back into writing, so that the requested pieces won't be half-assed, but these will be next

go on with my original ideas. believe or not, but I actually still have ideas for original fics as well, and I plan on developing these too!

+ if I get any requests in the meantime, I will write that too of course (though I don't really expect that to happen considering that I completely lost my old audience - which is not a surprise since I disappeared for more than 2 years)

I also started developing my own interactive fiction game.... it's just a lil' passion project for now, but maybe when it's a 100% finished and I feel confident enough with it, I'll share it too :)

happy birthday to Rayan! I made this little scrapbook edit along with @vanillaamoursucrethings for this occasion ^^

Pls go follow my twitter, I’ll try to post a lot of updates there!

Especially this post, it’s important so…
