Prom Night!
Larry Johnson x gender neutral!reader

It was prom night. A gym full of teenagers all in formal clothing, dancing to music they grew up to.

(Y/N) stood next to your friends: Larry, Sal, Todd, Neil, and Ashley. You would glance at Larry every now and then, nervously moving a strand of (H/C) hair. (Y/N) had liked Larry for a long time now, and he was none the wiser, thinking you actually liked Sal.

"I'm going to go buy some drinks," Sal said. "You guys want anything?"

"A coke," Larry stated.

"(Favorite/Drink)," (Y/N) spoke.

"I'll come with," Ashley spoke up and gave you a wink before she walked off with the bluenette.

Neil dragged Todd off to the already crowded dance floor, leaving (Y/N) and Larry alone. The (blonde/h/c)ette shifted nervously as they looked up at a now awkward Larry. He was scratching the back of his neck while looking around.

"So, what would you like to do?"

"Hmm," Larry hummed. "I dunno. Music sucks ass." He leaned back against the bleachers and tugged at his tight collar. "I don't know what so great about this shit. It's..well, shit!"

You sat up straight as you gripped your (dress/pants). How the hell were you supposed to confess? Your anxiety level began to rise higher and higher.

"So, how are things between you and Sal?" Larry looked over at you with a grin.

"There's nothing between Sal and I, Larry. I've told you this. I think he and Ashley would be a cute couple though." You gently pushed into Larry gently before rocking back to your position.

Watching everyone else dance made you jealous. When a slow song came on, you stood up and held out your hand to Larry. "Wanna go," you cleared your throat. "Go dance?"

Larry looked at your blushing face in disbelief, his face turning red as well. To your surprise, Larry grabbed your hand and stood up. Even though you were the one to offer, he dragged you to a part of the dance floor that wasn't consumed by bodies.

He placed his hands on your hips and you wrapped your arms around his neck. You let Larry take the lead, swaying you two back and forth, side to side.

The soft toon slipped into your ears, relaxing your body. "Lar Bear?"

"Hm?" He hummed.

"I really like you." The words mindlessly slipped your mouth, but you didn't regret them.

He stopped moving, which got you nervous. What if he didn't like you back? Your hands began to sweat and so did your brow.

Larry was stunned. His intuition was completely wrong. All the signs that you had been sending him made complete sense now. You never liked Sal, only him.

He slipped his finger under your chin to make you look at him and not the floor. "(Y/N)," he wore the biggest grin. "You mean it?"

"I mean, yeah. Why would I lie about that?"

His lips captured yours in one swift movement. "I really like you too. I can't believe this whole time I thought you liked Sally."

"You are pretty dense," you gently tapped your knuckle on his forehead with a grin.

"Oh shut it," he groaned and let go of you.

"So," you began. "Larry, will you be my boyfriend? Since, ya know, we have mutual feelings for each other?" Your thumbs twirled around each other while staring at said appendages.

"Fuck yeah!" He cheered grabbing your face in both hands and placed a kiss upon your lips.

You didn't mind how lips felt slightly chapped, you just wanted the kiss to last forever. No one paid any mind to you two since you weren't in anyone's way.

His hands fell down to your shoulders as the kiss became more intense. His lips moved roughly against your, slipping his tongue into your mouth. Both of your muscles moved against each other as a small moan escaped your throat.

Someone cleared their throat beside you two which caused you separate from the fevered kissed. The teacher standing beside you was not happy with both of you two's behavior.

She stood there, arms crossed and tapping her foot. "Mr. Johnson, I sure hope your not corrupting this fine young (gender)." She held a hand out towards you, simply gesturing to you.

"Hell yeah, I might be." He shrugged his shoulders and had a wicked grin on his face.

"Language young man!" The teacher stated.

While they argued back and forth, well mainly the teacher scolding Larry and Larry making smart ass comments.

After a few minutes of this back and forth, you interrupted them by apologizing to the teacher and pulling Larry off to your friends.

"So," Ahsley grinned and pulled you off to the side. "I saw that back there. You finally told him?"

You nodded and gave her a sheepish grin. "Yeah. I even asked him to be my boyfriend."

She squealed and hugged onto you like her life depended on it. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you," you looked back at Larry when she let you go. He was talking with Sal, probably sharing the news as well.

He looked over at you after a few minutes and flashed you a big smile.
