Cookie run school AU (DjLemon fanfic)

2- Friends?

Before you continue with the story, I want to remind you that I live in Australia so things like currency and school may be different from your country works. Also, the picture isn't mine, it's from ToriPieNekoNeptune on DA. I refer to DJ cookie as they/them/their, because they have an unspecified gender on the CR wiki.

"$2.00 for the drink," Blackberry cookie muttered, handing Lemon cookie a can of lemonade in exchange for two gold coins.

"So, uh... since you helped me get my wallet back, why don't I buy you something when school is over?" Lemon questioned, popping the tab open on his can. DJ cookie laughed. 

"It's all good! I don't need anything in return. The only thing that matters to me is that you're safe. The least I could do to become a friend of yours. How's that sound?" DJ reached out their hand, expecting Lemon to do so as well. Lemon cookie sighed.

"Sure. I'd love to be your friend. I hope I don't sound or act too mean. Thank you," he blushed in embarrassment. DJ cocked their head in confusion. 

"Mean? You're not mean! Chilli Pepper is the aggressive type! Did you see her dagger?" they teased. Lemon blushed even redder. 

"Shh, I don't want cookies to think of me as weak. I'm just afraid to use my pow-" Lemon clamped his fingers over his mouth. 

"Sorry, I couldn't hear the last part. Could you repeat that?" DJ questioned. 

"No, it's nothing important. Also, class is about to start soon. See ya," he quickly changed the subject. DJ cookie still looked unconvinced but nodded.

"Right. See you after school."

During science class, Lemon cookie kept thinking about the rainbow DJ. I hope they didn't hear what I was saying. They're going to freak out for sure... I bet they were suspecting something since I cut off the sentence like that. Lemon cookie sighed turned his iPod on underneath the desk, out of sight, even though the teacher was absent at that moment.

 I think I'm fretting over nothing.

Lemon plugged his headphones in, closing his eyes and slowly bobbing his head to the calming music. It was nice to block out the class howling once in a while. He didn't notice the teacher walk into the room. 

"Lemon!" Dr Wasabi slammed her hand down onto his table. He jumped, startled.

"Pay attention to my class! Chemistry is an important part of the science curriculum!" Lemon cookie looked down at his desk. He heard the faint snickering of his classmates in the background. There was no doubt in what she was going to say next.

"Detention for you. I'm disappointed in your actions," she said. The class replied with a chorus of "oooooooooooooooooooooooo" before the teacher threatened them to go back to their work. Lemon stared after her, shocked. D-detention? Impossible! This is the first time I've ever been in trouble in this school, he thought.

DJ walked down the hallway, switching their phone on to open up an app he had just remixed a song on. That dude I just met today looked like he likes music. Come on, what kind of cookie with an iPod wouldn't? I should ask if this is his kinda jam. They looked up when they heard a door open near them. Even though they expected the cookie to be a teacher, they realised it was his new friend from this morning, Lemon. 

"Hey!" DJ scooted in front of him. He tensed up but as soon as he saw that it was DJ, he relaxed and let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief. 

"Oh... hi. I didn't think I'd see you this soon," Lemon said and pulled his headphones down.

"Well, I guess you did!" DJ smiled, "What's up? Did ya get in trouble? Assuming..." they glanced toward the sign that said principal's office and looked back at him.

"Sorry. You were probably expecting me to not turn up anyways. It was just something that happened in class. I don't think it was a big deal, though," Lemon said, brushing it off by smiling faintly. DJ dimmed their lights on their visor and hugged him, which caught him off guard for a second. 

"You know if something is bothering you, I'm here. Talk to me, ok?" They released their hands.

"Heh," Lemon's face flushed, "Y-yeah. Okay..." DJ flashed his visor's colourful lights. 

"That's the spirit!" They laughed. Lemon turned towards the exit of the building, where many other cookies dashed out for the end of the day.

"I did promise you a treat, didn't I? Thanks again, by the way..." Lemon said. 

"No probs!"

Ya. The second chapter is done! I don't even know if anyone ships DJ-Lemon anymore. Or is that just me?
