"still here Kim?", "I'll always be especially in your nightmares" Her eye roll is so deep she swears she could almost see her brain, "think you're so smart?" "I am it's a fact" 

"smartass" it's a daily occurrence, their bickering knows no end if it wasn't for the teacher entering he would have the perfect snarky comment ready. they share all the same classes from history to literature to modern art to math they were never apart, much to their dismay. even their lockers were across from each other. 

last period, meaning they would get their history surprise quiz results. the only two of forty to look forward to it. seated one behind the other they waited. and waited some more. was this old geezer going to take forever? maybe. He looked well over seventy and moved at the calm pace of a turtle. too calm. finally done giving useless assignments he moves on to the most awaited. he passes the tests around with a frown and the words, "None have done well. thoroughly disappointing. only one came close to perfection and set the curve for all who got Ds I apologize you failed due to our Britain over here, colonized this test" (yes I made a history pun)

the sheets fall swiftly on the cheap cedar followed by groans all except one. the one grin so addictive even Aphrodite might shy, one dimple etched deep and glint in his eyes so studded may jewelers never catch its gaze. He turns around and waves the sheet in her face mockingly, "Hahh a 99 top of the class set the curve made these Bs and Cs of the lot of monkeys to Cs and Ds take that, sweetheart" he mocks, her eyes soften as she smiles at him, holds her paper to her chest and caresses his cheek with her thumb, "except joonie baby you aren't" she turns her sheet "a 99 and a half I'm sorry darling maybe next time" and just like that he doesn't know what he wants to do more, strangle her or kiss her to death

most likely the latter but he's too prideful to make the first move. "so my place at 5?" namjoon is caught off guard at that, he was busy looking at her new lip shade, peach. did it taste like it too? "for what?"

"the assignment dumbass"

"Which one?"

"my good god you're a real dimwit huh? the history one the geezer just assigned were you high?" "I'm paired with you?" she just hits him on the head and walks out. if only he weren't so distracted he could have reacted with anything other than what he did. he stuttered. yes. "h-hey-y you-ll r-regret that" that was bad. He was going to get revenge this evening.

and when evening rolled by namjoon was ready for revenge! (he was not) he decided to go old but classic with the rubber spiders all around her house, it wasn't exactly diabolical but should do the trick and he once overheard how terrified she was of them. perfect right? (he didn't put much thought or effort because he had an assignment. no judging) 

he expected this to be easy, go to her house, bug it, and do the assignment not complicated at all. he rings the bell at her penthouse apartment at exactly four-fifty and is surprised to see her dressed so casually unlike her usual sharp fashion. a simple white shirt that hung so low it reached her mid-thigh, hair in one messy bun and barefoot heading to the kitchen "Hi?" he croaks out when she successfully becomes the worst host in history. "yes yes I know gimme a minute" rude?! she walks out a few minutes later to an awkwardly standing namjoon

"stop standing there like a dummy" and with two bowls of something steaming walks to the stairs, "You coming dimwit?" he is so confused should he follow her? leave to buy her a wedding ring and propose? what is the social cue for when your competitor greets you looking so beautiful and makes snacks for you the second you enter? he decides on the former and rushes up the stairs to her. they dive right into the project from there.

sprinkled with some insults and eye-rolls two hours later they've made quite some progress and finally take a break and just lay down in the mess of books, "that geezer is really old like who even goes to a library for books? all research is online" "I know right 'do your project with old books no AI or whatever allowed no research either' Those books were heavy and I had to pick them with my school stuff man this sucks" 

"it does but at least I get to do it with you"

"Joon you okay there I think the dustballs are going to your head"

"no I mean it I don't have to compete with you! why do we though?"

"Why do we compete? I don't know about you but ever since I came in freshmen year I just feel-" and she pauses.

"what? complete that" "It's that since I came I thought I had to be smart" "Why on earth would you think that?" "Because... see you're this smart handsome guy with your damn dimples and sparkly eyes constantly winning first everywhere and I guess, the only reason I study so hard is so you don't think I'm stupid"

"I never thought you were stupid contrary I always thought you were gorgeous how are you single?" "oh my god, I can't believe it" She stands up so quickly it startles him into the same position, "what? what happened?" "the Kim Namjoon is in love with me" he falls into the pile of books with a sigh, "My god I thought some- oh my god don't panic but that just moved" She looks in the direction of his finger. "oh my god that plastic spider just moved" 

He startles and falls, stumbles, and makes it across the bed. and shrieks jumping into her arms. before she can even process it she's holding him like a baby, one very giant one at that, "joonie sweetie why would there be a plastic spider here?" "I bought some to get revenge I know you're scared of them" 

"by the looks of it, I don't know if I am or you" she soothingly pats his back.

"why is moving?"

"Because sweet love that isn't plastic that's Dutch, my pet spider"

"why?!" he shrieked again but she couldn't blame him she's had worse reactions, certainly not as clingy but she couldn't complain not when she could smell the mint of his hair and the musk of his perfume he felt nice to hold, good he couldn't read her thoughts or he's freak at how badly she wanted to kiss him, "breathe darling he can't leave his cage but he startles easy so let's ease up on the screaming don't want him to hide now" he nods gingerly and steps back. "I thought you were scared of spiders" "snakes" his mouth forms the cutest pout, may god help she wants to kiss it

"since when did you start paying attention to me?" "Since freshmen year I've had my eyes on you since the first time I saw you" Her mouth rounds in an 'o' shape. it breaks the dam. the late evening hue, the being so close, and all factors considered he finally broke. he broke and kissed her. he wished he could say the kiss was perfect but it was far from that. he was so nervous. the kiss was messy and fumbled, and once her initial shock wore off the kiss turned so much more. the fire ignited in their chests like some firework show and nerves did somersaults in his stomach.

"you got a condom?" "What?" "sweetie you do know how this goes right?" 

"of course, it's basic biology the- mmh" She doesn't let him ramble and ruin the moment "For once sweetie shut up" The kiss is better this time, he'd say not an A+ but he's getting the hang of it.  he moves in sync with her and lets her take the lead he's down bad. so bad. "I'm so sure you'd come the second I touch you" "Is that a competition I'm sensing?" she sneers at him, "maybe why don't we test it out?" 

what came next went in such order. they practically tore each other's clothes, namjoon got a nosebleed from being so excited and nervous and had to lie down, she removed all the books from the bed and tackled namjoon on the bed. then she lay down on his chest and waited for a good fifteen minutes before continuing, the longest fifteen minutes of her life, they rekindled whatever spark had been replaced by her constant giggling, and he had a new nickname, 'big puppy'. and before they divided into the flame she skipped along to her father's closet and stole one of his condoms (hope he never finds out). 

"you work out?" he smiles cheekily, "Sometimes" "Good I hope you stretch well as they say it's good to stretch before strenuous activities"
