-Squid game AU-
" Let me repeat the rules, the goal is to win all marbles from your opponent. And now let the game begin"
With horrified eyes, Tamaki slowly turned his head to the H/c haired girl.
" Well shit" you cursed
Panicking, the boy began to think of different ways to get out of this situation. Maybe it wasn't to late to find another partner.
He started pacing around the playing area but saw that everyone had already started their games
Frowning he gazed at his pouch of marbles " What do you say we play just one game when there's only three minutes left? " you proposed calmly " Because to be honest I don't feel like playing anything too long."
Tamaki watched his friend taking a seat on a stone stair way " So let's just sit and talk for a while till then " you patted the empty spot besides you
Biting the inside of his cheek, the elf eared boy obeyed.
For a good minute the two of you stayed quiet. Only your breathes and the occasional sound of other players there whimpering could be heard

" Well" you looked from his face to your linked hands " I actually would like to travel the world"
" W-why?" The boy raised a brow
" To see other cultures and learn more about them. You know, see how different things are then here in Japan"
Noticing the spark in your eyes as you spoke about your dream so vividly, Tamaki found himself unintentionally smiling " Sounds wonderful"
" But that's not all" you waved your finger in front of him " I want someone to accompany me on this journey"
" Oh, who do you have in mind?"
Lowering your head you stayed silent for a minute, making Tamaki all the more curious about your choice
