Accidental Boyfriend Material.
ep. 4
Sky didn’t know how the hell it happened, but here he was.
Being dragged across the Westbridge parking lot by his hoodie like a stray cat.
Axon's long fingers gripped the back of his hoodie collar tight, making sure Sky didn’t bolt the second his feet hit the ground.
Sky Rivara (MC)
I can walk, you know! (grumble, swatting at his arm.)
Axon Silva (ML)
No sudden moves. (without even looking at him)
Sky Rivara (MC)
This is kidnapping.
Axon opened the passenger side door of his sleek, matte-black, way-too-expensive-looking car.
Sky Rivara (MC)
I’d rather eat my own shoelaces.
Axon gave him a warning glare.
Sky sighed dramatically, flopping into the seat like a kid being forced to go to
As Axon got in and started the car, Sky sulked in the passenger seat, arms crossed, head leaning against the window.
Sky Rivara (MC)
For the record, (mutter) if you’re planning to sell me, you’re not getting more than like… a hundred bucks. Two hundred if my kidneys are in good shape, which is a hard maybe.
Axon Silva (ML)
(blink)…What the hell are you talking about?
Sky Rivara (MC)
(side-eyeing him) I watch crime dramas, bro. You rich types love harvesting poor college kids. It’s textbook.
Axon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Axon Silva (ML)
I’m not selling you. Just… listen.
Sky shut up but stayed suspicious.
Axon turned to him, resting one arm against the steering wheel.
Axon Silva (ML)
Be my boyfriend.
Sky stared.
Blink.
Another blink.
Sky Rivara (MC)
...The hell?
Axon clarified smoothly, like this was the most normal thing you could propose to someone you abducted via hoodie.
Sky Rivara (MC)
(squinting his eyes) Why?
Axon Silva (ML)
(sigh). My family’s trying to marry me off to some business partner’s daughter. It’s annoying. If I show up with a boyfriend, especially one loud and chaotic enough to piss them off, they’ll back off. Eventually, the engagement talks will die down.
Sky gave him a look like he’d grown a second head.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Bro, you have actual people willing to date you. Like… willingly. Rich people groupies. Models. Whatever.
Axon Silva (ML)
(smirk) They’re boring. You, on the other hand…
He gestured at Sky’s hoodie, scuffed sneakers, and messy hair.
Axon Silva (ML)
You’re a menace. Exactly what I need.
Sky opened his mouth to protest, but Ace cut him off, holding up a finger.
Axon Silva (ML)
I won’t tell your brother about the Polo match incident.
Axon Silva (ML)
I’ll buy you those limited edition Air Jordan Retro you’ve been eyeing.
Axon Silva (ML)
And a monthly allowance.
Sky’s brain short-circuited.
Axon Silva (ML)
(lean in slightly) And no, I won’t hit you. I won’t sell you. You’ll survive.
Sky Rivara (MC)
(exhale through his nose) You’re bribing me.
Sky Rivara (MC)
... And it's working.
Sky Rivara (MC)
(slump back in his seat) Fine. I’m in.
Axon Silva (ML)
Smart choice.
Sky Rivara (MC)
But I’m not wearing pink. It washes me out.
Axon chuckled — an actual, tiny laugh — before starting the engine.
