This was for a writing prompt ask meme on Tumblr. The prompt was one pinning the other against the wall.

Randy thought it was a good idea at the time.

He felt that he was becoming softer and softer ever since he and Julian finally started dating. More secrets, deeper ones far beyond being the Ninja, had come out, as well as emotions he had done his best to hide. He found himself crying a lot more, and Julian being there for comfort. Randy was glad for this at first, as he was being provided something Howard had outright denied him before. But then his insecurities started getting the better of him; he started feeling more afraid of becoming weaker.

Howard, somehow, caught wind of this. Maybe he was hoping for it, knowing him. Despite not having talking to his former "best friend" in several months, he still felt the need to plant this little seed of doubt in Randy's mind- "You're slipping up, Cunningham. It always seemed like Julian wanted a manly man; he always seemed like that type. Looks like you two don't have much time left together."

That scared Randy deeply.

So he studied hard; he rewatched every movie Brock Octane, the manliest person he knew, had starred in that featured a romantic interests. He paid close attention to everything he did with the women in those movies; he always started with a bold move, pinning the girl against a wall. After that, an abrupt strong kiss. Then for the rest of those movies, Brock and the girl would exchange witty banter with each other, teasing yet still getting along fine.

Randy knew not to believe everything he sees in movies and stuff, but this seemed down to earth just enough to give it a shot.

So, on what was a regular Thursday morning, Randy followed through with it.

He pinned Julian against the wall by the bathroom, ten minutes before homeroom. The halls were starting to clear out, so there wasn't much of an audience. Randy was relieved for that, since there wouldn't be anyone there to see him mess up.

Julian looked shocked. He looked at Randy with a big, wide eyed gaze. "Randall…" he said softly.

Randy smirked. So far, so good.

He went for the kiss. Strong. Passionate. A little bit of tongue action.

When he pulled away, he saw that Julian's expression remained unchanged. He still looked at him wide eyed. Randy figured he must have been surprised to see him being so bold. His silence was concerning to him, however. Why wasn't he saying anything?

Randy didn't know what else to do besides kissing him again, a little calmer this time. He kissed him over and over, desperate for some change in reaction. Julian was liking this, right? He had to be, he just had to be…

"Randall…" the goth cried out breathlessly between kisses, "R-Randall, you're scaring me…"

Randy wasn't expecting that response at all.

He quickly pulled back and unpinned Julian. He started trembling. "I…I'm sorry, I…"

"No, no, don't feel bad," Julian said softly, gently taking Randy's hands. "This is just out of character for you. What has come over you, dear?"

"I…I just wanted to be…manlier."

"Why?"

"Howard said that you want-"

Julian rolled his eyes. "That explains it," he sighed. He cupped Randy's face in his hands. "Randall, I do not want some macho guy. I want you."

"But haven't I changed? Haven't I gone soft? I've been crying a lot more lately and…" Randy averted his eyes, looking down at the floor.

Julian signed. "I'm glad that you have been more emotional as of late. I know you couldn't express them with Howard. I don't want you bottling up your feelings. I will always be open to comfort you, no matter what, and I will never think any less of you."

Randy looked up at his face again and saw him smiling sweetly. And that made Randy smile. "You mean that?"

"Of course. Although…" Julian's expression suddenly turned more flirty, "I must admit, I have always been a bit excited by the prospect of us being in a position as compromising as that."

Randy blushed, silent for a beat. Then he raised a brow mischievously, leaning in for a kiss. "Oh, really?"

Julian giggled as well, granting him only a peck. "Yes, but not now. We have to go to advisory now. But perhaps we can arrange something after school."

Randy gave him a pouting expression, which got him another short, chaste kiss. They both grinned and laughed quietly as they held hands and made their way towards their homeroom.
