Chapter Text
“you think you could you could beat a raccoon in a fight?”
an shoved a handful of flamin’ hot cheetos in her mouth as she made a “thinking face” and thought about mizuki’s question for a bit.
“yeah, i think i could,” an confirmed with a nod.
“you sure? they have claws and teeth, that’d hurt.”
“yeah, they’re little! i’ll be fine. it’d hurt, but i’d survive.”
“but what if like, it has rabies . raccoons have rabies. you gonna survive rabies?”
“okay, okay, good point… but, the rabies is gonna take a bit to actually kick in, so i’ll be fine. i’d beat up the raccoon, then die of rabies. i could totally beat a raccoon in a fight. stupid dumbass weak ass loser ass raccoon.”
“alright, now you make a good point.” mizuki thought about the point that an brought up for a moment. “yeah, i guess you could beat a raccoon in a fight.” they leaned back against the wall in a more relaxed and comfortable position after agreeing with an.
“yeah, coz’ i’m cool and awesome.”
“you’re a loser! ” mizuki said with a laugh. an chuckled a bit at their response, letting herself sink deeper into the couch she was half-sitting and half-laying on.
"am not!"
"are too!"
"prove it."
an could see mizuki thinking about the request. "well, if you were cool, you wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. they're not even real!"
"but it's still scary!"
"whatever, loser."
“aww, you don’t mean that. you loveeee me,” an teased before grabbing another handful of cheetos.
“hmm, where’d you get that idea?”
they continued with their playful banter back and forth for a few minutes, before eventually it quieted down and they were both doing their own thing, tapping away at their phones. they weren’t talking anymore and it was silent, but it was a comfortable silence. not the tense kind of silence after your teacher asks you a question you don’t know the answer to, but rather the relaxed kind of silence you can only get when you’re chilling in your best friend’s basement at 2 in the morning.
this silence was eventually broken by mizuki.
“dude… what if like, we fake dated, just for shits and giggles…”
an looked over to mizuki, who was sitting on the floor, to see them looking up at her from where they were sitting with a small smile on their face. she took a moment to process what they just said.
“huh?” she said in a complete deadpan tone, in pure confusion.
“i- okay, i’m on tiktok right now, right? and i saw one that sounded interesting…” mizuki quickly glanced back down at their phone. “it says, ‘let’s be fake girlfriends for a week, then whoever catches feelings first loses.’”
an thought about the offer mizuki had brought up. “damn, you like, in love with me or something? but anyways, yeah! that sounds awesome!”
an saw a smile form on mizuki’s face. “oh my god, this is gonna be so much fun! everyone is gonna be so confused, it’ll be so funny! i can’t wait to start with it! we’ll start tomorrow.”
“fuck yeah!”
