common sense • rini/jolivia one shots

reputation

Nini winces as they grab at her arm, pulling her backpack off of her and starting to shove her into the large locker. shes fighting back, trying to plant her feet in place so she can't move but her shoes are slipping, allowing the jocks and cheerleaders to push her into the locker.

"hey!"

everyone glances down the hall at the loud voice.

"what're you doing?" the curly haired boy asks, coming into view.

EJ Caswell pulls on his letterman jacket a little, "what's up Bowen? we're just shoving little lesbo into a locker."

the small brunette casts a harsh glance at the tall senior, "just because i have two moms doesn't mean i'm a lesbian, idiot."

"what did you just say to me?" he asks, lunging a little towards her.

Ricky puts a hand between the two of them, forcing the taller boy to back up, "why waste your energy on Roberts? she's a nobody."

Nini looks at her shoes, biting her lip a little at his words. she was used to it, everybody hated her.

"c'mon, let's go." EJ says, leading the pack of popular kids away.

the curly haired boy picks up Nini abandoned backpack and hands it to her before walking away.

she's sitting on her bed, her notebooks and textbooks spread out around her when there's a knock on her door, "come in!"

she looks up when the door closes behind the person. she frowns, seeing a flash of red and white, "weird that you'd come through the door. aren't you afraid somebody would see you walking into my house?"

"come on Neens, you know it's just a cover."

she scoffs a little, looking back down at her homework. a hand moves her books, making space for them to sit down as a hand holds her chin.

"i'm sorry."

she smiles sadly, "can you just kiss me already?"

they both crack a smile as they lean in. her fingers thread through his curly hair. the boy grins against her lips when they pull away, his finger gently tracing over her cheek bone.

"thank you, for earlier." she says quietly, "you saved me Ricky, again."

he chuckles, "i wasn't going to let them stick you in a locker babe."

"i know but, that was risky. we agreed that you wouldn't interfere unless i was gonna be seriously injured ya know, for your reputation." Nini replies, brushing some hair behind her ears.

the boy groans, getting up from her bed. he pulls off his jacket, balling it up and throwing it into her egg chair as he paces around the room a little, "Neens, i don't care if it was risky, i'm not gonna let them hurt you like that. especially when EJ is twice your size."

the girl cracks a smile, "everyone is twice my size."

"not funny." he shoots her a glare.

Nini sighs and closes her textbooks, pushing them to the side as she leans back against her pillows, motioning for the boy to come towards her, "cuddle with me?"

Ricky chuckles before heading towards the bed, resting his weight on top of the small girl, his head on her chest as she runs her fingers through his hair and massages his scalp.

"i love you." he mumbles.

she smiles softly, leaning down a bit to press a kiss to his hair, "i love you more."
