Pairing: Ajax Petropolus x Fem Reader.

Warnings: Mention of getting high and underage drinking. Cursing. Reader is a bit of a hot mess in this one, guys.

Requested: Yes (Kind of)

A/N: I have always wanted to write something related to Gorgeous, because is one of my favourites songs. So when I saw the request for anything Ajax, I couldn’t help myself. Hope you like it, anon. I had so much fun writing this, but I kept it short because I will be rewatching Wednesday to get a better grasp on him. Remember, REQUESTS are OPEN

You walked out of the classroom, carrying your fencing uniform neatly folded. Your fencing sucked so much, it was funny. You took it in stride, though. Every time you got your ass handed to you, and it was often, surrounded by good fencers as you were, you laughed it off. It really infuriated Wednesday and Bianca, but it endeared you to the rest of your classmates.

“I just can’t understand how you are so talented at everything and fuck up so spectacularly here.” Bianca said, walking towards you. She had her own uniform folded as neatly as yours, carrying it under her arm. You weren’t offended, knowing it was only teasing. Her pretty eyes glittered with amusement.

“I just don’t have the talent for it.” You shrugged, and gave her a smile.

“You need practice.” Bianca pressed, her tone turning more serious. The downside of being her friend was that Bianca was a doer, and you were a watcher. She saw problems and solutions, fixing everything she thought was wrong. Sometimes, you clashed about it, because you preffered to let some things be. “You can do it, you are just lazy.” She tried for an encouraging tone, but her words made you grimace anyways. You hoped she didn’t want to be a doctor, because her bedside manner would be awful.

“Don’t listen to her Y/N!” Xavier yelled, a bit further down the hallway, but close enough to hear your conversation. He was walking with Ajax, and seeing him made your heart suddenly beat faster in your chest. “She is just salty because you beat her in the pop quiz.”

“Thanks, Xavier.” You approached them, letting Xavier put an arm around your shoulder and place you a little behind them. Next to him, Ajax smiled at you, making something flutter in your stomach.

“I’m sure you will do better next time.” Ajax tried to console you, putting an arm around your shoulder too and sandwiching you between the two boys. You quickly ducked their arms and jogged back to Bianca, before he could see your blush.

“Girl, you know I support you no matter what, but this is getting ridiculous.” Bianca took the fencing uniform from you, dissaproval clear on her expression. She snuck a glance at Ajax and lowered her voice. “Poor guy thinks you hate him. When are you going to put an end to this?”

“It’s better this way.” You answered, fully convinced of it. This way, you avoided embarassing yourself in front of him for something you couldn’t help. Besides, it wasn’t worth it. Your little crush wasn’t only unrequieted, it also wasn’t going anywhere. “It’s too late to stop now and, besides, he is too hung up on Enid to care.”

“And denial is just a River in Egypt.” Bianca muttered, and you pretended not to hear it. She walked away, and tapped Xavier on the shoulder. You hurried to get out of the corridor, just in case Ajax, suddenly left alone, decided to approach you. It was hard, because every time you saw him, you wanted to blurt out your feelings, and you didn’t want the humiliation. Ajax was so cute and kind, you didn’t want to make things even more awkward.
