Hey everyone! I'm excited to finally start writing these drabbles. This is just a collection of little snippets, not full one-shots. I intend to do another fic full of my proper SDS/4KOTA one-shots but for now enjoy these!
Summary: Chion and Donny used to know each other back in the day. Their feelings of dislike were obvious and mutual. That's all. Really.
Pairing: Slight Onesided!Donny x Chion.
Warnings: None.
Chapter 1: Long nights, daydreams
"No. I don't know him very well. But we have met before."
They were talking about Chion from the Tristan Platoon. An offhand comment by Donny revealed that he'd known Chion as a preteen.
"He's the son of my uncle's best friend." Donny revealed, "a Holy Knight, a real nice guy. I remember being stunned he had a kid like that."
"Well I remember being stunned your uncle is the Grandmaster Holy Knight too," Anne muttered under her breath. Donny glared, but otherwise ignored her.
"My uncle and his father used to set up playdates for us when they were both in the capital. They'd catch up and we'd practice our Holy Knight training against one another."
Anne wasn't sure that was the definition of a 'playdate' but kept her mouth shut this time.
"He kick your butt?" Asked Nasiens astutely.
Donny buried his face in his hands. "Bro, he massacred me every single time! I was so happy when my uncle stopped dragging me along with him."
Idly he wondered why the playdates had cut off so abruptly but shoved the thought to the back of his mind.
"Still, he wasn't exactly pleasant to be around but he was nothing like that," Donny grimaced. "Hard to believe it was the same kid." Chion had been insufferable as a tween but also kind of, dare Donny think it, cute. Now…
"So that was him huh?" Jade asked.
"I regret ever confiding anything to you," Chion sighed. He'd heard some version of 'so that was him huh?' over a hundred times in the last hour.
"Just confuses me. You tried to have us kill him," annoyance entered Jade's voice at this.
"Anyone poses a threat to Prince Tristan I'll take them out. My personal feelings don't matter."
Seriously… Jade sighed. His best friend needed more help than Jade could give him.
Jade couldn't help it though. "But seriously, him?"
Chion threw his head back, sighing dramatically. "Yes. Him."
Years ago when Chion's father and Donny's uncle had arranged playdates for them -no, he wasn't going to stop using that word, it's what they were- the two kids would train against each other, mostly in swordplay.
And Chion'd had a ridiculous, obvious, stupid, pathetic crush on the taller boy. Which had certainly made their time together more interesting, and not in a good way.
And unfortunately, Chion had made the mistake of mentioning his humiliating old crush to Jade once (once!). When he'd heard 'I had a crush on the Grandmaster Holy Knight's nephew." Jade had thought that was a reasonable choice. But now that he had actually met Donny, he was having trouble wrapping his head around Chion ever liking this delinquent-looking teen.
Colour was beginning to creep up Chion's cheeks. "The crush was one thing. But I was so obvious about it too! I was always showing off for him and trying to help him. There's no way he doesn't know how much I liked him." Grimacing, Chion buried his head in his hands while Jade laughed at him.
"I could handle him beating me. But he was such a sore winner about it too!" Donny continued to rant. "Always pointing out to me how much better he was and correcting my technique and shit. "God he hated me even back then!"
I saw someone shipping this pairing as a joke and now it's stuck in my brain. Help.
I am slightly infamous for naming fics/chapters after songs/lyrics that have F-ALL to do with what I've written. The title for this drabble comes from Strawberries and Cigarettes by Troye Sivan and the fic title comes from This is how we roll by Luke Byran & Florida Georgia Line. I hope you enjoyed.
I also take requests! Please give me a pairing and/or prompt! FortheloveofGODgivemeaprompt. I don't write incest, non-con or anything over a T rating but aside from that; have at it! However, you'll either get your fic tomorrow or in eight years, I don't do things halfway.
Hope you enjoyed guys, bye!
