❤️Duff #6- Promposal

Fluff, kinda Angsty

🎸

Me and Duff, well, we were complicated.
I was a total nerd, not glasses and pushed in lockers nerd, but smart and people knew it.
Duff was a rebel. Not a biker, or an asshole who makes fun of everyone, but absolutely hates school and school functions.

We aren't together though. I mean, we fuck and talk and might as well be, but we aren't.

I planned on going to prom, as usual. I mean, you only get one senior prom. The worst part is, Duff won't go. He won't even consider it. Which is why we were currently fighting.

"Duff, can I ask you something?"
I ask from my place on his lap.

"What's up babe?"
He asked kissing my nose.

"Why don't you do school dances, or anything to do with school?"

"Just never have. Everyone thinks they're so fucking special. Like everyone puts on makeup and dresses and wastes money on all of four nights they won't remember in four years."

"Oh."

I said, looking down and twirling my fingers.

"Why? There something going on?"
He says grabbing my hands making me look at him.

"Prom. Next month."

"You're not going, are you?"

"Of course, I am Duff. It's senior year, our last prom. I'm not skipping out just because you aren't going."

I say softly, cupping his face in one of my palms.

"But we're a couple. You can't just go without me."

"So, you'll go with me?"
I say, eyes full of hope looking up at him.

"No, and you're not going either."
My heart literally just shattered.

"What? I've gone every other year without you."

"But you haven't had me every other year."

"That's exactly why I didn't want to ask. I knew you'd just disappoint me."
I said getting off his lap.

"Disappoint you?"
He said standing up facing me.

"We do everything you want Duff. I go to the movies that I hate because you love them. To your car shows that you know I don't understand. I go to those shitty diners you love for your dates. For god's sake Duff I thought for once you'd do something for me."

"You know how I feel about those things."

"I hate everything about our dates but goddammit Duff, I tolerate it because it's with you. Can't you compromise for once?"
I ask growing frustrated with the blonde.

"I hate those stupid things. God we're opposites. I hate everything that you love."

"So, what, you hate me too?"

"Maybe I do."

He said looking straight at me.

"So that's that then huh?"
I said, putting on my boots and grabbing my jacket.

"No, no, Bug wait."

He said grasping my arm.

"Don't. - Don't touch me."

I ran out the door and I've been crying my eyes out since. I'd never asked him for anything else, and he couldn't give me the one thing I wanted.
I was going to prom. Whether I went by myself or not.

***************

Today was Thursday, prom was tomorrow.

This week was shitty. I wouldn't talk to Duff, and I told him not to talk to me unless he was going to prom or breaking up with me.
Maybe I gave him an ultimatum, but something had to budge.

When it was lunchtime, I went to the cafeteria and sat with my friends. Then all of a sudden, I heard the principal call everyone to the gym.
So, we all dragged our asses there and sat down, wondering what he was going to bitch us out about now.

That was when I saw Duff, holding a microphone.

He was in a nice pair of jeans and a white button up, brand new cowboy boots, and his white hat. He was carrying balloons and a picture of me and him together.

He walked to the middle of the gym and called me down there with him.
I obliged and walked down to the court with him.

"I'm sorry I said I hated you. I love you, and I'm sorry I've been such a dick to you. I'm sorry that I've been so shitty, I'll try baby, I promise. You do everything for me so, even if it kills me, I can do this for you. So, June-Bug, will you go to prom with me?"

"Yes Duffles, I'll go with you."
I smiled, trying to wipe the tears from my eyes.

"Don't cry baby."
He chuckled cupping my face with his free hand.
He connected our lips, and everyone began to cheer and clap like he'd just proposed.

"I love you June."
He said after we pulled away.

"I love you too Duff."
