Work Text:
"I only need one date!"
"Oh, really? Think you can woo me in just one date?"
"I know I can!"
Chay doesn't really know where all that confidence came from, but he isn't about to stop it if somehow it can convince WIK —like, THE WIK— to go on a date with him.
This whole day has been just... something. It just didn't feel real at all, maybe that's why Chay is kind of summoning his inner Porsche and making statements he would only have the confidence to make in his dreams. And in front of WIK out of all people!
After begging his brother for help, and working nonstop different jobs while still studying, Porchay was able to save some money and acquire a couple albums after WIK's studio put out a new contest in which, buying his new album, you could get a special ticket —very Chocolate-Factory coded— to win a music "date" with the singer. Which was a special class given by WIK himself. Chay could NOT let this opportunity slip through his fingers!
He couldn't believe it when a couple weeks ago he started opening his albums and found the ticket. Chay started looking through the instructions that came with the ticket in complete disbelief. When Porsche came back from work, Chay was still on the floor with his mouth opening and closing like a fish.
So, of course, when a company car went for him and he was let into the studio to find WIK, he could only convince himself this was all a dream and he either got run over and ended up in a coma, or he was in heaven. But this just couldn't be his life. He isn't this lucky on the daily!
Chay usually doesn't win anything at all, much less the day of his dreams!
So, of course, he might be a bit too bold even in his nervousness due to... well, the belief of being in a dream and wanting to make it all worth it for as long as he could. It's no weird then that, after having his flirting be reciprocated by the artist, he would get a bit too confident.
"Phi..." Chay calls for WIK's attention, looking up at him through his pretty, long eyelashes. Nervous to look into those eyes he has been dreaming with since more than a year ago.
The older only makes a little sound, acknowledging the call, while still writing down the lyrics they were working on together. "What is it?" He asks, but after a moment of looking into Chay's eyes, his drift down to the lips being bitten in the younger's shyness. That doesn't help at all, only making Porchay's heartbeat run faster and faster in his chest. WIK's eyes never leaving his mouth.
So not fair...
"I... I want to ask you something." Chay says, softly. The studio's room they're in so quiet since it is only the two of them inside, the intimacy of the moment is surreal, but they just seem to connect quite well. So, Porchay takes the opportunity to shoot his shot. Chay knows damn well that, if he were to cower now, he would regret not saying anything when he had the chance for the rest of his days, and even on his next life too!
So he did it. "I want to meet you. Like, for you. Like this. Like... personally? Out of the idol persona, i mean- not that you're not genuine then, but-" A little chuckle stops him from keeping on rambling and so Chay pouts, frowning slightly. He is doing it all wrong. So, maybe, he takes courage from where it shouldn't and his inner Porsche comes out to do the rest for him. "I only need one date!"
WIK's expression seems amused by his statement, and crossing his arms over his chest, one eyebrow lifts to enhance the already there amusement in his eyes. "Oh, really? Think you can woo me in just one date?" As much as the question made him cringe a little by his own overconfident statement, he continued.
"I know I can!"
No, he doesn't.
He would still try if given the chance, though.
So he waits, nervous, as WIK leans on the studio's couch and then nods. "Okay." Then he just continues working on the song and Porchay swears he is having whiplash. Wait... DOES THAT MEAN YES?
"Is... Is that A YES!?" He asks, confused but absolutely delighted by the artist's response. Chay could start jumping and screaming right at this moment, his hands gripping his guitar as hard as he can to not lose control of himself in his excitement. He did it! Him! Porchay did it! He landed a date with his celebrity crush!
There's something is WIK's eyes, like endearment or something of sorts. Chay isn't quite sure yet, but it makes his hear beat twice as fast. "Yeah, why not." The quickly rising star shrugs casually, as if he wasn't giving Chay a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. "My next resting day is on saturday. Are you okay with that?"
When saturday comes, Porchay still kind of things he is in heaven already, even though the topic was already talked over with his brother, because things are just going exactly his way and that's not something common. He is not used to this amount of luck! But, he won't waste it either. Chay is not stupid enough to not take the opportunity when luck is on his side for once.
He will make the best out of this date and... and absolutely sweep his crush off his feet!
Chay can do it! He has done a lot already.
The moment is getting closer and closer and Porchay, well, he is getting a little more nervous with each passing second. They exchanged phone numbers after the winner's class, surprisingly being WIK who asked for his number. Which may or may not have gotten Chay all nervous again. The older one seemed to enjoy seeing how shy Chay could get with the smallest step from him.
Porchay was waiting for the artist at the park, and since he was the one with the idea of a date, he ended up making the whole schedule for the day. It will be amazing! Chay decided to not use any of the knowledge he has on WIK (he didn't want to look like an absolute freak!) and do something with which they could actually get to know each other better.
"Porchay!" That beautiful, soft yet deep voice Chay would recognize anywhere in the world. "p'WIK! Hi!" He was quick to get up from the bench he was sitting on before and stand in front of his crush, cheeks quickly turning a light shade of pink. "Kim." The older says, causing Porchay to tilt his head in confusion. "What?"
"That's my name. WIK is only my stage name." After the explanation, Chay's eyes go bigger and his mouth opens in surprise before a soft smile takes over his features quickly. "P'Kim, then." His date's eyes seem to become lighter, a tender look in them which makes Chay's heart beat faster.
There it is. The first piece of something different from the idol he knows, a first taste to his date, to the new man he wants to meet outside from the spotlights and beautiful songs he has listened to on repeat. This is the person behind the whole show, who he was so curious about.
They start walking side by side, Chay had chosen a small coffee shop as their first stop. That way, they could talk for a bit and get to know each other a little bit better. The way to the place is filled with small talk, topics that just pop in their heads. Kim seems to be more on the quiet side, good listener, not too much talking, just enough to keep the conversation flowing. Chay believes they could be a good match, he is good at talking!
And so they get their drinks.
Kim likes black coffee, he says a bitter drink helps him think better. "Black like your soul?" Chay asks playful, and when a sutil, sudden smirk pulls on the older's lips, there's so much pride flowing inside him. He did that. Chay got him smiling with his little, silly joke. Porchay prefers sweeter stuff, and Kim says that's a heart attack waiting to happen. They keep talking, the conversation dies down for a bit in which they take some pictures and then Chay sees a bird outside and someway, the conversation picks its rhythm back again.
They get out of the coffee shop with a nice, casual vibe surrounding them.
The next stop is fun, because he wanted to take Kim out of his comfort zone and an arcade seemed quite fitting. "What? Scared of a little action?" Chay mocks him playfully, lifting his eyebrows before being lightly pushed to the side as Kim made his way inside the building. "Who's scared of some silly games?" In-between giggles, Chay follows him. Catching up with Kim. "You seem to be."
Chay likes playing with Kim, making fun of him as Kim tries to prove himself. It's fun and easy and it's really, really nice. Kim is good at strategic games, he also like the car racing ones. Even though Kim is great at rhythm games, he is absolutely awful at Just Dance and Porchay finds his frown and little tantrum after losing against him extremely adorable. "The machine is broken." Kim states and Chay just laughs out loud, his body shaking in his delighted display at the excuse. Kim seems to like that since Chay can feel his eyes on him for quite some time after.
The two of them suck at the claw machines and give up quite quickly too.
Chay has to stop Kim from buying the stuffed animal since he couldn't get it out from the machine and saves the employee at the arcade a little problem. They bicker and play and yell at each other and Kim almost tackles him after he beats his ass at Just Dance for the last time that day. It was... amazing, for saying the least. Chay didn't really know how to express it, the way he felt so happy and excited and so warm inside.
"Why did you accept?" Porchay asks as they make their way towards his house by foot, the calmness of the early night quite relaxing. "What?" Kim asks, their hands brushing as they keep on walking already close to his place, without any rush. "Y'know, coming on this date." Chay adds, shaking his shoulders with a pout, looking at Kim intently.
"Well, you were quite convincing." That response gains a playful kick from Porchay, to which Kim chuckles and nods. "Okay, okay! I thought you were cute. So, why wouldn't I? I was already thinking of an excuse to see you again, anyways." He shrugs, as if he hasn't just turn Chay's whole life perspective upside down. "You... You did?!" He asks, shyly hiding his face by lifting his hands to his face. A warm tough on his cold skin makes him shiver in a nice way. "Look at me, I like those pretty eyes on me."
Chay is going to die.
He can't handle this and he makes damn sure Kim becomes aware of that by whining loudly in disapproval. The older's laugh echoing in the silence of the night as his hands pull Chay's out of the way and instead, puts his face quite close to his. "What do you think of kissing on the first date?"
Chay's heart skips a beat.
"I couldn't care less." That's it. It is all it takes for Kim to get even closer, their breaths caressing each other's skin, before their lips find their way to the other's and life seems to disappear all around them. There's only them there, enjoying the moment.
There might be a 'good morning' text the next day in Chay's phone which makes him blush from head to toe, as well as a new scheduled event on his calendar. Porchay might start getting busy on saturdays from now on.
