    Summary

    It became habit after a while— eat, sleep, watch Ekko walk home, wait for him just outside his base, slip away into the dark whenever he'd turn his head, thinking he'd heard something. And of course he had, she was always close, but he didn't know that. Sometimes he'd catch a flash of pink just out of the corner of his eye, or even the tail end of a bright blue braid whipping through the air, and it'd always be gone by the time he snapped his head up to check.

    . ݁₊⊹. ݁˖ .

    Ekko and Jinx have both been stalking each other since being separated and Ekko finally finds out about her secret habit, wondering how she’s managed to hide all this time with how closely he thought he had been keeping an eye on her.

    Summary

    Jinx is a wild, unpredictable pop icon, known for her chaotic performances and magnetic presence. Her newest album is a radical departure—intimate, vulnerable, centered on “falling for someone you’ve known forever.” Her PR team, thrilled with the emotional pivot, insists that to sell the authenticity of the album, she needs to be seen in a relationship. They suggest staging one with a model or fellow celebrity.

    Jinx, unwilling to share her vulnerability with a stranger—and already annoyed by the industry's control over her narrative—blurts out that she already has a boyfriend.

    “It’s Ekko,” she lies. “We’ve been dating in private.”

    Ekko—her best friend and roommate since college—is blindsided when she gets the courage to tell him.

    What she doesn’t know?

    Ekko has been in love with her since they were sixteen.

    And now he has to pretend to be hers… while watching her play the part with ease, blissfully unaware of what she’s doing to him.

    Summary

    Ekkos' always been labelled as a man who exudes a natural air of confidence and humble suaveness to anyone who's ever known him, at least, anyone who's only known him presently. However, he himself struggles to do so when the girl he's crushed on ever since they were kids finds a way to constantly appear by his side at the most inopportune times, and now he’s constantly falling into situations that are having him have to hang out with her newly established girlfriend.

    Talk about bad luck.

    Summary

    "Your condom got stuck," she interrupted him, trying to bite back her laugh.

    Ekko stood there frozen, as he his mind tries to lock up her words. His condom? His condom got stuck in her— his eyes widened.

    "My condom got—what?"

    ━━━━

    Modern AU where Jinx and Ekko had a one-night stand. No big deal, right? Except fate keeps shoving them back into each other’s lives. Feelings? That’s for them to figure out. Unresolved tension? Absolutely. Call it coincidence. Call it fate. Call it Conflict.

    Summary

    Jinx just doesn't know how to behave normally around Ekko anymore; how to stop getting so irrationally angry every time someone else tries to vie for his attention; how to get this feeling out of her system.

    With a gasp, she shoots upright in her bed. Lightning strikes in the distance as, with sudden clarity, Jinx gets hit with an idea on how to fix this…Alright, so lightning didn't actually strike in the distance but Jinx has such a good idea it might as well have.

    A plan concocts itself in her brain. One that’s perhaps a little insane, but hey, aren’t her best ideas always?

    Or: Jinx gets annoyed (not jealous) when girls try to hit on Ekko. Her solution? Fuck the feeling away.
