I loved this idea so I had to write it. Hope you like it!

"O.M.G," my best friend spelled out the letters. "Have you seen this new trend?"

"I don't know and I don't care," I said, looking into my book.

B/N, not noticing my signs, shoved the phone into my face. 

"Look! The Pocky Game!"

"What the heck is that?" 

"Oh come on! It's only the latest trend that has been blowing off the internet! It's the best way to kiss your crush! You put the pocky in your mouth," She pointed to her mouth. "And then you share the other end with your crush! You both move closer and closer until you can get the smallest piece of pocky. But if you eat the rest of the pocky, it's game over."

'Who came up with this stupid idea?'

"Not interested," I told her, without the slightest amount of curiosity.

"Sigh, at least I tried." B/N dropped her head down. "But I wanna try this with my crush!"

"Okay, you got this," I waved my hand while saying it monotonely. 

"Byeee," she ran out of the classroom. 

Yeah, sometimes my best friend can go a bit overboard. I continued to read my textbook until the bell rang. Suddenly, an announcement was made over the speaker.

"Everyone! Head outside now! We have a game that will be happening RIGHT NOW," she said.

Oh no, it's Jazzy, the President of the Student Council. Her games were crazy. But it's okay. I like crazy. The only time I'm interested other than studying is when we have the class games. We're going to beat those seniors this year. My mind was electrified as I thought of the last game. It was the tug of war. I participated in that game. It was a good thing that I worked out a lot so we managed to win that game. Shortly after that, I got the nickname: Bloody Crazy Deadly (BCD). I don't know how they came up with that nickname but it sure scared the seniors a lot when they played.

I ran outside immediately hearing a couple of comments on the way such as,

"Oh look, it's her."

"Oh no, if she plays another game, it's going to put even more shame on us seniors."

"IT'S BCD!"

I just continued running until I saw the stage with the President on there. I breathed heavily after all that running. 

"Y/N?"

"Huh," I held onto my knees, not bothering to look behind me. "Who is it?"

I felt a cold drink put on my forehead. 

"It's me," he smiled. "C/N."

"Oh! Hey C/N!" C/N's my other best friend. I've known him since we were in junior high. He's someone I can count on, no matter what.

"You here for the games again, BCD?" he teased, nudging my elbows.

"Oh stop it," I covered my forehead. "I don't want you to call me that as well."

"Haha, fine." And that's what I like about C/N. He knows when to stop, unlike B/N. Okay, B/N's awesome. I love her. But sometimes she goes a bit overboard.

"It's time for the games!!!" Jazzy's voice boomed over the speakers. Both C/N and I covered our ears to stop the sound from destroying our eardrums. I looked up at the President with expectant eyes. I can't wait to see what her next crazy game is. 

"So," she began. "do you guys know the latest trend that's going all over the internet?"

Wait, I heard that familiar line from somewhere. B/N's voice entered my mind. Wait...no way.

"WE'RE GOING TO DO THE POCKY GAME!!!!"

'Okay, cross that out. I don't like crazy. The President's officially out of her mind.'

"You know the rules right? Share the pocky together, and make sure to get the smallest piece of pocky out of that. Avoid kissing to not eat the entire piece. It's perfect! The winner gets the most points only if you get the smallest piece. And since this is a special event, their class will be winning access to the fridge."

I never thought that Jazzy would do this kind of thing. But again, she's crazy. 

"Okay, gather up everyone," our class rep told us. "We need someone who's extremely smart and won't kiss their crush. This person wants to win no matter what."

"ME ME ME ME," B/N raised her hand and hugged his arm. "I'll do it with you!"

"Absolutely not," he pushed her head away. "You're going to kiss me right away. We need someone who'll do anything to win this game."

He looked around until his eyes landed on me. Everyone followed his eyes in the direction of me.

"Me?!" I pointed to myself. "Oh no no no. No way. I'm not playing this game."

"Oh come on! Where's your courage? We know we'll win the fridge if you do it." Some of the guys rubbed their bellies, probably imagining the fridge they think they're gonna win.

"No," I said firmly.

"If you do it, I'll make sure that nobody calls you that nickname BCD for a month."

I froze. That's perfect! That nickname pissed me off for a while.

I put up two fingers. "Two months."

"Deal," he shook my hand. 

Everyone around me cheered.

"Let's go! We're gonna win this for sure now." All of them pumped their fist into the air.

"But who am I gonna go up with?" I asked. There was supposed to be a second person doing this game right?"

A lot of guys raised their hands.

"Nope, sorry. I'm not doing with you guys."

They put their hands down in disappointment.

"What about....C/N?" The class rep pointed to him.

They all pushed him to me. Huh???

C/N looked like he was not expecting this.

"No. Absolutely not," I crossed my arms. "I'm not putting C/N in this situation. He doesn't have any more drama in his life."

The guys around him patted his back in disappointment. "It's okay. You'll get your chance next time."

"No," his voice suddenly made everyone quiet down. "I'll do it with you."

My eyebrows knitted together. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," he said firmly.

"Okay, if that's what you want." We both started walking up to the stage together. I've never seen C/N like that before. It's the first time he stepped up for something like this. Even though I said that I didn't want C/N to do it with me, I truly did want him to do it with me. He's the only one I could be comfortable around with. If we truly did kiss...I wouldn't mind.

The President handed out the pocky to each of the class participants. 

I held it out toward C/N, leaning onto my hip. "So, how do you want to do this?"

"Hmm," C/N murmured in thought. "I think one of us could start at half of the pocky stick while the other tries to eat it off little by little."

"Do you want to do it?" I asked.

C/N glanced at me, specifically my lips, but then shook his head. "No, it's best if you do it. You'll be able to do it precisely."

Was that a coincidence? Probably. "Okay," I nodded. I was determined to win this.

"Okay, get ready!" Jazzy clapped.

We went to our positions, giving each other as much distance as we could. 

"Oh yeah!" Jazzy exclaimed enthusiastically. "One has to hold the neck and the other has to hold the waist."

Oh no, as if we weren't that close. We're already way too close considering our relationship.

"Y/N!?" I put his hands on my waist and rested my hands around his neck. 

"It's fine. You're probably the only guy I would let his hands over me so it's okay."

"NOW BEGIN!"

C/N held onto half of the pocky while I slowly nibbled my way to the middle. C/N clutched my waist as I went closer. I know C/N. Just hold on a little longer. I looked out into the crowd. Maybe it was the pressure of winning that I started feeling nervous.

"Y/N, what's the plan?" I looked back at him. I didn't realize we were so close.

I think I must've been so nervous that I was shaking. Unfortunately, my legs were shaking. I fell backward. Oh my god. How dumb of me to do that. Wait, the pocky! Before I could think of the consequences, I pulled C/N using my hands around the neck. 

We both fell to the ground and I shut my eyes. Then there it was. C/N and I sprawled on each other. His mouth is on mine. I can't believe this was happening. Our eyes were wide, staring at each other. We're kissing each other. 

I blinked.

Then I screamed. While we were kissing.

"Mmphhhhh!!!!"

C/N tried saying something back. "Hm!?"

"Mmmmm. Mmph."

He pushed himself off of me using the ground.

We both gasped and started breathing heavily. 

"I'm so sorry, C/N," I apologized.

"Could they be disqualified for eating the entire pocky!? Sure their super unexpected kiss was really sweet but rules are rules," Jazzy shrugged.

"WAIT!" The class rep pointed at C/N. I looked at C/N and realized what it was. I grabbed C/N by the shirt and grabbed the tiniest piece of crust from our kiss. I held it up high.

"Look at what we've got!"

"WOW," Jazzy looked at the crust, shocked. "They managed to get a piece even after their kiss!"

We waited for the other contestants to finish. In the end, we won. Everyone in our class cheered for us.

"Let's go! We get the fridge!!!"

They were all talking to us so I couldn't talk to C/N. I waited for the perfect moment to talk to him privately. 

"Hey, C/N?" I asked. "Can we talk?"

"Yeah, we should," he murmured.

We both awkwardly stayed there, waiting for the other to talk.

I sighed. "First, I should apologize for kissing you accidentally. It was completely unintentional. No! I mean the kiss was unintentional but I still pulled your neck on purpose. I'm really sorry."

C/N looked at me in shock. "You shouldn't apologize to me at all. I was actually going to apologize."

"Huh, but you didn't do anything wrong."

"But I took away your first kiss. You probably wanted to kiss some other guy, not someone like me, your best friend," his head drop down.

"No no no!" I shook my head. "You're probably the only guy I would trust for my first kiss. In fact...I liked the kiss."

C/N sucked in his breath.

"Then you won't mind if I do it right this time?"

Before I could say anything, C/N slide his hands into my cheeks, leaned in, and put his lips into mine. It felt ten times better than before. We both kissed for a long time before gasping. 

"You're a good kisser Y/N."

"I can't believe that stupid game brought us together like this."

C/N laughed. He hugged me and put his chin on the top of my hair.

"I like you," he mumbled.

"I like you too," I hugged him back.

This chapter was a bit hard. I wanted to find a scenario where C/N or Y/N didn't ask to play the Pocky game but rather they were forced to. Well, until next time!
