Aj and niko - enemies to lovers

Strawberry punch

Aj stepped closer to Niko, sighing deeply as he tried to mentally prepare himself for this.

Niko, wasting no time, pulled Aj into a hug.

And so, Aj reluctantly hugged him back, his posture stiff and uncomfortable.

The difference in their heights was glaringly obviously. Aj barely reached Niko's shoulders, so his head nestled awkwardly against Niko's chest.

Niko's arms were wrapped around him tightly, and Aj felt trapped in the embrace, his frustration slowly creeping up with each passing second.

"This is supposed to be quick." Aj muttered, his voice muffled because of Niko's shirt.

He tried to pull away, but Niko's grip was too tight.

Niko just chuckled softly, a mischievous tone was in his voice. "You know, you don't have to make it so awkward. It's just a hug, just let it last long."

Aj's annoyance flared. "I don't want to stand here hugging you forever, Niko! Let me go!"

But Niko didn't budge.

He pulled Aj closer, his arms locking around him in a way that made any attempt to break free nearly impossible.

Aj pushed against Niko's chest, his hands pushing at Niko's arms, but Niko just remained firmly in place.

"Seriously! Let me go!" Aj's voice grew louder, close to a scream.

His attempts to free himself became more desperate, he was so uncomfortable with Niko being this close, as well as touching him.

Niko, however, seemed to take pleasure in Aj's discomfort. He held on tighter, his own amusement growing as Aj continued to squirm and protest. "You're making a big deal out of nothing." He said, his voice calm.

Aj's face flushed with anger.

He kept trying to push away, his strength increasing as Niko's grip remained steady.

"You're fucking sick! Just let go already!!"

Niko's smirk widened as he adjusted his hold, making it even harder for Aj to escape. "Why don't you just relax?"

The more Aj struggled, the more Niko seemed to enjoy the situation. The embrace was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, and Aj's frustration was reaching a boiling point.

He was now practically screaming, his voice rocky..

"LET ME GO!!!" Aj shouted, his hands pushing and shoving, trying to break free from Niko's hold. But Niko's arms remained locked around him, and Aj could feel the larger man's chest rising and falling with each breath.

As time went on, Aj began to notice something odd...

Niko's face was turning a slight shade of red, and his ears were becoming increasingly flushed. Aj couldn't help but notice it, and he easily realised it was a sign of anger.

Great. Aj thought, Niko's actually getting mad. What if he decides to hit me or something?

His mind raced with scenarios, his heart pounding as he struggled to keep calm. He tried to reason with himself, but the rising intensity of the situation only made him more anxious.

Niko, meanwhile, was having his own internal dialogue. As he held Aj close, he couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and amusement. Aj's anger and desperation was oddly comforting, and despite the chaotic situation, Niko found himself feeling strangely affectionate. There was something undeniably cute about Aj's furious attempts to escape, and Niko felt this softening feeling while hugging him.
