Note: This is based off of a thing I saw online where they asked complete strangers to kiss and I thought it would make an adorable sufin AU with fate and stuff
It all happened on that day. Well, it all started a few days before that. Tino was browsing the internet, like usual, when suddenly he saw the ad that would soon change his life.
Social Experiment
18 volunteers from ages 18-30 needed for a "Social Experiment"
Come, 1:00, Monday, May 13th, 32nd Main Street.
It just happened that right then and there, Tino's kind and giving personality happened to kick in. He clicked the ad.
He was surrounded in a room by strangers. Tino looked around at each of their faces, examining each of them. The one that caught his eye was a tall man with blond hair, blue eyes, glasses, and a scowl on his face.
He's scary, thought Tino, but he supposed he really shouldn't judge someone based on how they looked, But also a bit attractive.
Suddenly, Tino heard a voice at the front of the room and he turned around to see a lady with orange hair calling everyone's attention.
"Hello, I am Mrs. Smith and I am conducting today's social experiment," she began. "Well, the social experiment that we'll be conducting today is that we want you to kiss a complete stranger and we'll record your results on camera."
Tino felt a shiver run through his spine. Kiss? A complete stranger? He hadn't signed up for that. Well, actually he had, but never mind that. He was here now and there was nothing that could be done now.
"You'll be randomly assigned someone. Now please go into that room over there so you can await your turn," said Mrs. Smith.
A slight murmuring spread throughout the crowd and the girl beside Tino began whispering to him. "Interesting social experiment, isn't it?"
The Finnish man looked up at her and responded, "Yeah, it kind of is, isn't it."
He then headed off into the waiting room with the others, his palms beginning to sweat.
It was Tino's turn now, and he glanced at the person who he was paired with. It was that tall, intimidating man from before Tino jumped a bit when he realized that they were a bit too close for comfort, even though they would be much closer sooner.
The man extended his hand out to Tino.
"M'name's Berwald Oxenstierna."
Something felt strange about eye contact with Berwald, so when Tino took Berwald's hand in his own, he looked down. "Tino Väinämöinen," he replied.
They walked onto a miniature stage with a camera rolling and Tino already found his cheeks getting hot.
Tino smiled at Berwald, the complete stranger. "I guess this is it," he muttered.
Berwald only replied with a brief "'m" before pulling Tino in for the kiss.
Berwald wrapped his arms around the back of the Finnish man's head, closer and closer, in a way, that if they knew each other, would be thought of a tender embrace.
The first thing Tino noticed about the kiss was how amazing of a kisser Berwald was. It sent shivers down his spine, being so close to him, yet not even knowing him at all. It was almost as if Berwald was pouring all of his emotions into it, but there couldn't be any emotions could there. Tino found himself getting immersed in the kiss, almost forgetting it was Berwald, but someone else. No, he never forgot that it was Berwald, but there was almost something almost there, just beyond his grasp, impossible to describe.
Before Tino even knew it, Berwald broke the kiss. Immediately, both of them blushed, and jerked awkwardly away from each other, Tino gently touching his own lips.
Still avoiding eye contact with the taller man, "It was nice meeting you Berwald," Tino mumbled.
He heard a faint, "You too" from where Berwald was standing.
And they both left the room on that fateful day, May 13th.
