Tanemone - It's Not One Sided

(hear me out, guys. I had an idea for this and I think it's really good so give it a chance!)

Okay, okay, you guys are probably either looking forward to this chapter or preparing to write an angry comment down below. So, PLEASE HEAR ME OUT!!!

Anyways, most of you who've been reading my books so far should know that Tide is an OC of mine and one of the characters in my Wings of Fire: Truth or Dare book. If you haven't read that I suggest you do because 1. It's hilarious (yeah, totally not self-promoting. But seriously, I crack up all the time re-reading it). And 2. it'll probably help you understand some things.

But besides that, Tide is...erm...*cough cough* Anemone's boyfriend in the book (ANEMARIN SHIPPERS PLZ DONT KILL ME LEMME EXPLAIN FOR A SEC!!!). So, I made the first chapter of that series when I was first starting on Wattpad, so I basically had no idea about the whole shipping community and stuff. At the time, I also didn't like Anemarin too much (not for specific reasons I just didn't like it cause there wasn't much in it). I ship it now, but I kinda already had this ship going at the time because I wasn't really thinking. When I made that series I was thinking that nobody would read it anyways and I didn't want to just make another OC for Tide to be in a ship.

But yeah, that's how it happened. A lot of the people who read that series do like the ship, but some still don't. Honestly, I've grown to adore it while still shipping Anemarin so I'm basically a double shipper.

Well then, uh, I hope you enjoy! Also, is the title good? I couldn't think of a better one.

(P.S. this is a human AU and not canon to the truth or dare series)

~Tide's pov~
<><><><><>

Tide could think of a million ways to be humiliated. He could think of a million ways he's been humiliated. There was the time he'd fallen for that prank Qibli pulled on him and ended up with cereal in his pillow; the time he lost a bet and had to eat a raw fish and talk like a crazy, salmon obsessed hippie for a week; the time Qibli had somehow stolen his designs for a catapult for a school project, built his own giant version, and launched pineapples into the neighbors' yards (how did he not get in trouble for that?); that other time Qibli made him think Kinkajou had turned into a pineapple (a lot of the pranks were from him and had to do with pineapples).

But he never imagined that being trapped in a closet would be one of those ways.

Tide was at a birthday party when it happened. Nothing could have warned him about what was to come. The birds were chirping, it was a clear and sunny day, and he could hear the laughter echoing from inside the mansion.

Yes, the party was at a mansion. It was all too familiar to Tide, but he could see others staring up at it in awe. The front lawn was surrounded by a gate of small trees, each trimmed in uniform perfection in neat rows along the edge. A gap in the center, blocked by a metal gate that was current open, led towards the front of the mansion. Further down, a large, clean moat partially surrounded the house, leaving room for the pathway towards the door. Large shrubs of oleander, hibiscus, and other flowering plants were scattered everywhere, now surrounded with balloons and party streamers.

Now, if the lawn was amazing, the mansion was absolutely glorious. It was three stories tall, stretching so far it probably was as big as four or five houses stuck together. A large center area loomed above him, while another structure (did they call them wings?) stood next to him on either side. It was painted white, but a layer on the bottom was aqua blue, with small blue stones placed here and there that made it look like it was the seafloor.
