NedViet: More than Friends
Lien and Lars were at the mall, with Lien picking out clothes for a job interview she had the following day. Lars was there for moral support, and because Lien wanted to know what kind of clothes he would like to see her in.
When Lien realised that she had a crush on her best friend, she felt just a little horrified. She knew that she wasn't very feminine, and in her mind she wasn't attractive. There was no way that the Dutchman would be interested in her.
Lien was searching through blouses when someone sidled up next to her. She glanced up briefly, seeing that it was a stranger.
"Hey there," the stranger said. "You know, I bet you would look better with those clothes over there."
She turned her gaze to the direction he was pointing in, and she felt annoyed when she saw that he was pointing to the underwear department.
"None of these clothes suit you," the stranger continued to say. "I bet you'd look great in something red. Or one of those black numbers."
Lien was starting to become fed up with this stranger, but she bit her tongue.
"You know," he continued, "I can't wait to see you wearing some of that."
That was when she lost it.
"I have a boyfriend," she snapped.
The stranger looked off guard for a moment before he smirked.
"Oh yeah?" he said. "Then where is he now?"
Lien was about to answer when she felt someone moving behind her, slipping his arm around her shoulders. She looked up and smiled when she saw it was Lars.
She blushed slightly when Lars placed a kiss on her cheek, though.
"Is there a problem here?" Lars asked.
The stranger eyed Lars nervously. Lien could understand why. With his height, stern expression and scar, Lars could look pretty intimidating to those that didn't know him.
"N-nothing," the stranger stuttered, before making a hasty retreat.
Lien sighed in relief, before looking up at Lars.
"What took you so long?" she asked.
"I wanted to see how you handle that situation," Lars said. "You have a lot of patience, you know that?"
"I'm aware," Lien said. "Was the kiss really necessary?"
Lars smiled and gave her a brief squeeze.
"Of course it was," he said.
The prompt was: 'Person A and person B are close friends, both wanting more, but refusing to admit it. They go to a shop/store/etc. together and A is being hit on by a stranger. A becomes fed up and say that they have a significant other. B, nearby, overhears the whole conversation, waltzes over and slips their arm around A, kissing them on the cheek.'
