Multi-Fandom One-Shots Part 2

gotta start somewhere - Rini (HSMTMTS)

I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart.

Nini's never been the type of girl to like cheesy, romance things. She thought valentine's day was overrated, from the heart-shaped objects the big gestures, she always said it was some sorry excuse of a holiday. So, she always strayed away from romantic comedies and YA novels, she was more into action and thriller movies. Unfortunately for Nini, her best friend was the complete opposite. Ricky thrived off watching romantic comedies, so they always had to compromise during movie nights. She got to watch a horror movie of her choice, as long as she held him throughout the film, then they would watch a bad teen romance movie. Every movie night has been that way since they could remember, Nini getting into foreign thriller movies at a young age just developed her love for them growing up. Which resulted in Ricky having watched every single one of those scary movies alongside her as they grew up together, Ricky wasn't that thrilled about it. But watching romantic movies after made up for it.

After watching The Boy, Nini's choice, Ricky insisted to watch Set It Up. The movie recommendation causing Nini to roll her eyes at her best friend but nodded as she grabs the controller changing the movie.

"Why don't you like romance Ni?" he asks stealing a handful of popcorn from the bowl in her lap.

The brunette shrugs looking over to the boy next to her, "I don't hate romance. But all that cheesiness that comes with it is just plain gross. Like, look at this, it's all so predictable, they are going to be sworn enemies, then friends, and eventually start to fall in love while scheming and they are just going to have that cheesy, cringe-worthy kiss-y ending." she says faking the motion of vomiting, as the beginning of the movie starts to play.

Ricky shoves her shoulder irritated with her. Nini knew that Ricky was a hopeless romantic and wanted whatever those dumb movies and TV shows portrayed. But Nini constantly reminded him that they are unrealistic, to which he would counter that horror movies were even less realistic.

Sometimes Nini wondered why the pair had got along so well, being polar opposites in nearly everything they did. From movies to their activities, their interests were far from aligning. But she also thinks it's because of the long history that they shared, being best friends since they could remember, they just learned to love the other enough to bare through their opposing interests.

Turning over leaning all his weight on the small girl causing her to bend over awkwardly, he throws an arm over her shoulder shaking her aggressively, "Hey Nini, Nini, Nini," he repeats annoying, her with a big smile graced on his face waiting for the girl to respond.

"What?" she says irritated huffing from his weight, looking away from the movie locking eyes with her best friend shoving the boy off of her sitting back up to their full height.

"I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart," he smiles winking at her.

She scrunches her nose in disgust, pushing his face away from hers, "Ricky, stop. Pick up lines are the worst of them all." She says disgusted. Ricky smirks pressing a loud kiss to the girl's cheek pulling her into his chest, "Get used to them, because I'm making it my personal mission to get you to like pick-up lines specifically."

Nini sighs, putting her arms around him chuckling as she snuggles closer to the boy, "Good luck trying, it's not going to work." She says.

"Oh, lovebug, you're in for a wild ride." He laughs into her hair, eyes focusing back on the movie playing in front of them.

I'm writing this paper about the finer things in life, and I was wondering if I could interview you?

Spotting all of her friends at their usual lunch table, she approaches taking her usual seat. She looks over to the empty seat next to hers who usually sat her best friend. Confused seeing as he was usually the one to get there before any of their friends, turning her attention to EJ who was engrossed in a conversation with Gina and Carlos.
