Heartstopper

"If you want me, say you want me,"

-Touch, Keshi

You and Alune walked down the spiral staircase down to the main living space. You looked around to see what everyone was up to. Ezreal was laying on one couch watching origami videos, which you thought was really funny seeing as how his first one turned out. Kayn was scrolling through his phone, and Sett was flipping through Hulu to see what was on. To your right, the kitchen was bustling with Yone, K'sante, and Aphelios. K'sante was helping Yone dice up some veggies and Aphelios was seasoning some steak.

"Phel, you should say hi to Y/N, dummy," Alune said beside you. She grabbed your hand and dragged you over to the kitchen. Aphelios sighed and looked up from his cutting board and locked eyes with you. He just stared and looked like he was starstruck.

"Phel, stop stuttering and use your damn words," Alune said in annoyance. Aphelios managed to snap out of his trace and smile, giving you a small wave to greet.

"He says hi, by the way," Alune said walking towards the kitchen. You wave in return so he knew you acknowledged him. He seemed flustered, judging by how he was rubbing his neck. But, he turned around and went back to cooking. You followed Alune towards the kitchen to see what the guys were up to.

"Hello again, Y/N! We were just preparing some sauteed veggies and grilling some steak for dinner, if you wanted to help," K'sante said smiling. You smiled back and walked towards Yone.

"Do you need any help? My cutting skills are pretty top notch," You said jokingly. You earned a small chuckle from Yone and he was about to hand you his knife, but he stopped himself. You felt confused as to why he did that. He walked towards another drawer and pulled out a smaller knife for you to use. He slid the cutting board towards you and simply walked to help Phel with the steak. Ohhhhh kay, you thought. You looked to Alune who was just as confused as you. She walks over to you with a piece of carrot in her hand.

"That was odd, I'm sorry he did that to you. I don't know if he was trying to be nice or condescending. Like, thinking you couldn't handle a big boy knife, whatever," Alune said hopping onto the counter and biting into her carrot. You looked behind you at Yone. He was instructing Phel how to cook them based on doneness. You didn't understand why, but you thought it was sweet he got you a smaller one. Afterall, you were clumsy sometimes.

After dinner was all cooked, the 8 of you sat at the dinner table. Everyone was having a fun time talking and getting to know you especially.

"So, Y/N, what got you into singing anyways?" Sett asked stuffing a piece of steak into his mouth.

You smiled at the memories that made you decide to be a singer. How much fun you had throwing pretend concerts as a child, being in school choir and in musicals.

"Well, I guess my whole family kept telling me what a good voice I had. They gave me lots of opportunities to show off my singing, like choir, small get togethers, I even tried to sing on a talent show. My audition never aired so I didn't get it," you chuckled thinking about it, cutting into your own steak. Sett hums in acknowledgment. 

"You ever thought about being a stripper, dollface? With a body like that, you could definitely do it," Kayn said leaning back into his chair, locking his eyes with yours.

"Kayn," Yone said sternly. This guy was trying to see how far he could push you. You had enough of his overly sexually comments. You decided to play fire with fire.
