👀 imagine: caught

It was one of the days that you wished that you have more time with Ricky. You bit your lower lip as you gaze at the hooded guy sitting beside you. You and your boyfriend went early just to be with each other. The thing is, it was kind of hard to have such a adorable and too loving boyfriend like Ricky and have an over protective big brother, E. J.

"Hey... Wake up." you felt his soft curly brown hair as your hand went upward, making the two of you lean closer to each other. Ricky's head rested on his arms, yawning sleepily.

"What did I miss?"

You rolled your eyes and pulled the hoodie so that no one can see him. The two of you hang out in your usual spot, which is the library.

"Look, the student are already—"

"Y/N look," he perched his head up and pushed his phone in front of you. " We still have 30 more minutes..." before you can prevent him from sleeping again, Ricky quickly rest his left cheeks on the table. His hand still interlocks tightly on yours. Not wanting to let go.

"Why did you even bother meeting up early, also big bro might get suspicious—"

"E. J. won't get suspicious, because he was up all night talking to Nini. Believe me, he'll be the last person entering the class." he interrupts you again. You sighed and was about to give up.

"I just want to spend my time with you,Y/N" Ricky's eyes turn to yours, and lean closer making his chin rest on his palm.

"I know, me too." you admitted. It was hard dating through the shadows, keeping your relationship secret because of E. J. He won't allow you to date this curly boy leaning in front of you.

"There's a teacher here..." a smile creeps to Ricky's lips to your comment and finished, "unless you want to get detention, Bowen."

"I'll take my chances, Y/S/N." his eyes gazes to yours, intensely and pressing his lips to yours. It was one of his kiss that made your stomach feel light and feel that energy surges to the of you. His hand interlocks with yours, while the other sends electrifying touch to your cheek,pulling you closer. Ricky felt you shut his eyes, while his eyes stayed like a half crescent admiring how beautiful you are.

" Now, we should stop cuz there's a studen—"the two of you chuckled as you heard some of the students approaching, before you start on your heels.

" I love you, Y/N. "

Ashlyn almost dragged you to the cafeteria because you rejected her offer on going to the cafeteria and have lunch. A relief sigh escapes your lips because before Ashlyn could ask you, you were with Ricky and heading to the library, seems you have so much luck on your sleeves because there was a unlocked storage room there, so Ricky hid there.

"You know these couple of dats you've been so... distant?" you answered her in your thoughts. It's because of what just Ricky said: I love you. It felt just astonishingly surreal, because you weren't expecting him say those eight letters just in two months.

" Are you dating someone? Because—"Ashlyn paused and made a look and covered her mouth." You are dating someone!" you scoffed but you mentally hit yourself because that made your lie unbelievable.

" Fine! I am dating someone. "

" Who's the guy? Wait—does E.J. know?"you bit your lower lip, and with that look Ashlyn already knew the answer.

" What should I know? "the two of you yelp in surprise as E.J. walks in out of no where, with a frown on his brow.

" Uhm...I asked Y/N if she already told you that we'll be doing a project later at my house. " that made E. J. sense that something was up, because the way you and Ashlyn act.

"What project? I didn't knew that there was any project." Ashlyn mumble something inaudible to you, that has something to do to back her up.

"W-Well, it's Uhm... a special project." your brother just nodded, but not buying any of your excuse but you sighed once again in relief, E.J. let it go.

👀👀👀

It was already weekend, and you've been dreading for this day to come. So that you could just rest and be with Ricky. Since during weekends, means no E. J. because he's going somewhere with Nini.

"I miss you already..." Ricky hugged you at the back, while the two of you walking inside the mall, the two of you went into an old and few Cafe shop.

You smiled at Ricky adorable smile when his eyes met his favorite cheese cake. Seriously, you could've sworn his eyes sparkling and something inside you just clicked.

" I love you, Ricky." Ricky was caught off guard, and look upward his surprised eyes meeting yours. The two of you stood quiet that moment, when his hand touches yours.

"Really?" he asks as if a child not being able to believe that he just receive his one and only favorite gift from Santa Clause, and to add on that his one and only favorite gift is you.

You nodded, and Ricky was right in front of you kneeling while holding your hands, tightly.

"You really mean it?"

" I love you, smol bean." Ricky lean closer and presses his lips onto yours, feeling each heartbeat beat as one. You fingers trails on his rosy cheeks, Ricky couldn't hide his joy and kissed you while smile stays on his lips. Ricky tilts his head to deepen—

" What the hell? "It was E. J. standing just five feet away from the two of you. You were left there astonished when your brother almost punch Ricky. Luckily, there's Nini to stop him.

" Jay let me explain—"

" What I just caught explains everything. " Ricky stepped forward in front of you and was about to explain, when your brothers fist met Ricky's cheeks.

"Ricky, are you... E. J. You didn't have to do that." you snapped when you saw Ricky's lips were busted.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Ricky assured you and composed himself again.

" Whatever your planning Bowen on doing with my sister—"

"I'm not, I'm serious about her." Ricky admitted making your cheeks burn.

"No, you're not. Come on, Y/N let's go." before E. J. could grab a hold of you, your hand automatically held Ricky's. E. J. made a look, and grinned angrily at Ricky.

"Jay, please hear us out. You can't just make me stop seeing or loving someone." E. J. stopped when he heard the 'L' word come out of your mouth with a moment you saw your understanding and caring big brother in his look.

"Y-You love him?" he breathes and as sat at the chair, as if he was having a heart attack.
