hi! this is a request from FR0ST3A! obviously the title says it all, online dating if it needs to be made clearer to anyone. bio women
Nicky didn't like her phone. She found it complicated, difficult to use, and a ridiculous idea. The only part she liked was the social media aspect of it. Nicky absolutely loved using Instagram, Snapchat, and most of all Tinder. As a young, French lesbian who disliked socialising with her friend group, she struggled to find someone in her natural environment. Brianna and Rock had kept pestering about it continuously, begging her to get it. They'd said that they had both been able to find people on there (arguably, Rock had broken up with Jasmine a few weeks after, but Brianna was still dating Blair, which was a good thing). This persuaded Nicky to install it, much to the surprise of her other friends. So far she hadn't found anyone, just the odd straight weirdo asking for nudes.

On the other hand, Jackie loved using her phone. As an entertainer, she used it as much as possible! As a comedian, she normally worked full time alongside Bianca, Jinkx, Trixie and others who were involved in the industry. She normally had a set about her Persian roots, Trixie's was about Barbie's for some reason and so on. However, just like Nicky she'd also been unlucky in love. Due to her fast moving career, she was unable to hold down long-term relationships. Jackie did have Tinder, but she'd stayed quiet about it. All the others she worked with had found their partners without using online communication, so she felt left out in that sense.
"So Jacks, found anyone yet?" Jinkx leaned against the dressing table, where Jackie and herself were in. They'd finished for the night so they were relaxing backstage.
"Nope, and I'm fine with that!" Jackie smiled at her, lacing her hands together.
"You should try to! It's nice having someone there."
"I'm..." She looked around for anyone walking past, before lowering her voice. "I'm on a dating app. That's the easiest way for me. Easy to get catfished, but I don't have to go round looking for someone. Also, they might like Star Trek!" Jinkx groaned quietly, patting Jackie on the back.
"Whatever works for you darling, whatever works for you."

"Nicky, have you found anyone yet?" Brianna bounced through the fashion workshop over to Nicky's spot, fluffing out her skirt and sitting on top of the worktop. Shea had followed after her, holding a piece of luminous fabric between her fingers.
"Who's this?" Shea smirked, looking at Nicky who'd slammed her head onto the table with a groan.
"No one yet love." Nicky muttered, lifting her head. "It's so dry."
"I know what else is dry." Shea laughed to herself, earning a glare from Brianna.
"Don't be so crude! And you could switch it up a little."
"How? I barely use it." Sighing, Brianna grabbed the phone from on top of the sewing machine, unlocked it and scrolled around for a few minutes, clicking on various buttons. She gave the phone back to Nicky, grinning.
"Done! Have a good day, let me know when you've finished the garment for Mattel." She jumped off the worktop, pulling Shea out of the area with her.

Nicky trudged into her room later, slumping onto the bed with phone in hand. She'd finished later than usual as they'd been given a difficult task that took most of their day up. Opening her phone, she went straight to Tinder and went through what Bri had done on there earlier. She'd changed her settings around, saying she was more attracted to women.
"Jesus Christ." Nicky murmured, swiping through the profiles. After a few minutes she stopped, staring at the screen. Her name was Jackie and she was absolutely gorgeous. She had stunningly smooth brown hair which cascaded down her back, brown eyes which shone and a kind face. Nicky swiped right and put her phone down, waiting to see if she would do the same.
{'.<>.'}
Jackie was also at home. Her and the others had a successful night, so the mood was good and they had all gone home please. She'd been looking through Tinder with music playing quietly in the background. She paused, mouth wide open. Someone had swiped right on her- someone who looked amazing. Her name was Nicky, her blond hair was striking and her eyes pierced through you, but in a good way of course. She frantically swiped right, seeing "It's a match!" flash up on the screen. A message came through seconds after, Jackie clicking on it in anticipation.
Hi, how are you?
hey, i'm good,you? x Jackie waited for a response. She sat up and pulled the duvet around her, feeling cold even though it was only October. The music was still playing, which gave her comfort.
I'm good thanks! Anything I need to know about you?
well I'm Persian, born in Canada but now in NYC, I love StarTrek and I do comedy for a living! what about you doll?x
Bien! I was born in France but am also in New York now, I'm a costume designer and I love performing! Also, you look fucking hot!
aw thank you! so do you, i think you look absolutely amazing x
They talked a little longer, flirting with eachother more, before they both put their phones down and went to sleep. It was around 2am, which was quite late for Nicky.
However that didn't matter! She really liked Jackie already, and as it turned out Jackie felt the same way.{'.<>.'}
Jackie hurried around her house, looking for an outfit to wear for their first video call. It'd been a few weeks since they'd started talking and they had gotten on pretty well. Of course they hadn't officially gotten together yet, however they were both eagerly willing for it to happen in their minds. They both shared a love for Star Trek and performing. Their friends had found out about what As happening; Bri and Jinkx were absolutely ecstatic, however Trixie found it all a little over the top and let them alone. Eventually she decided on a low cut red top and a skirt which she'd found chucked at the back of her wardrobe. Chucking a hairband on, she ran over to her computer and opened zoom, calling Nicky. After a few seconds the screen changed and was lit up by the French woman she'd come to love over the short period of time they'd shared together. She had a striped top on, face made up and had her iconic beret perched on top of her perfectly styled hair.
"Hi!" Jackie chirped, grinning at the image.
"Bonjour love! I'm glad we can finally do this without any distractions." She smirked, almost causing Jackie to hyperventilate. They'd attempted phoning eachother just the other day however Shea had found it hilariously funny to cut Nicky's wifi which meant they were unable to call.
"I am too! You look amazing again." Jackie said, stuttering slightly.
"Aww thanks babes." They complimented eachother for a little longer, before Nicky got slightly quieter.
"Would you uh.. want to go on a proper date tomorrow? Not as friends but more?" Nicky muttered, fiddling with her pen which she had next to her. Jackie's eyes widened. Nicky had basically asked her to go on a date and start going out? She sat there in silence for a few seconds before replying.
"Of course! I'd love to Nicks!"
