OMG!! I really love your johhny 90s skater au!! its so good and cute too 😭♥️ ah idk if you accept request but if you can, will you make the mark version? if not that’s okay!! i always love your writings! ♥️♥️
couldn’t resist making mark one of these too hehe!! | 90s skater bf!au
the hands of the clock on the wall look like they’ve been stuck in the same place for ages
45 more minutes of detention - can i even live that long or will i die in here of boredom? 
you sigh, looking down at your textbook where all the words just seem jumbled together on the page
there are three other kids in detention with you
ones a notorious burn out senior and the other is the girl whose won prom queen twice - and has been left back twice too
and of course there’s mark lee
technically he’s not that bad of a student, he just hangs around with the skaters who are associated with the stoners 
and well
sometimes riding your board through the lunchroom because johnny seo dared you to gets your butt thrown in here
but to be fair - you thought he’d looked pretty cute doing a little kick flip and nearly giving one of the lunch lady’s a heartattack
his board is leaning up against his desk, it’s well-worn and covered in sublime stickers 
mark himself is wearing the issued uniform button down, but with ripped up black knee shorts and busted looking vans
he’s got one of those tie-dye bucket hats on and both his ears are pierced
which is like, totally against the rules
he catches you looking over your shoulder at him and smiles
taking a quick peek at the teacher whose fast asleep at the front
before he scribbles something down on a piece of paper and crumples it up quietly enough so that he can toss it over to you
you catch it, careful to open the note behind the coverage of your desk
‘wanna ditch this snooze-fest?’
you stop yourself from grinning and write your answer back 
‘duh! but how are we gonna get past professor sleepzilla?’
‘i’ve got a plan - just follow my lead!’
you nod and turn to the front of the class, wondering what mark has in mind 
behind you, mark sets down his board a
nd sneakily pushes it so it goes right into the side of the wall, making a large banging sound, before rolling back to mark
who puts his feet up on it and watches as the professor wakes up, frazzled
muttering about what all that ruckus is about
“uh i think it’s coming from down the hall man”
mark remarks and everyone, including you agrees
the professor makes a discerning comment about how he’ll be right back so no one move
but the minute he’s out the door
you and mark are up (and so is everyone else) to follow out the door and dip
“bangin’ distraction little dude!”
the senior comments, giving mark a clap on the shoulder as he smiles back
“what can i say - im what people call a like,,,,,genius?”
you roll your eyes, but laugh anyway 
“sure sure - you should apply to harvard.”
“oh snap - i definitely should! you think i can major in skating?”
you can’t help but nearly snort at that one, but before either of you makes anymore jokes
mark takes your hand and tells you that you guys have gotta be quick till before the professor comes back
you don’t expect his skin to be so warm or that he’d even grab you like this
but you follow him anyway, up the stairs and toward the gym
it’s empty since it’s afterschool and you ask mark why he’s taking you there - wouldn’t it be better to get outside? go to the park or grab some cheap food?
“the gym’s perfect for skating - don’t you wanna try?”
he puts his board down, easily stepping on and skating a little cirle around you
“skating? i don’t want to bust my head open-”
mark puts his foot down and brings his board to a stop
“i would never let you get hurt.”
he smiles and you feel something in your chest tug
“so c’mon. ill make sure you don’t fall.”
you’re a little shaky at first - and not to mention embarrassed 
because mark starts off by holding your shoulders, but gradually his hands end up on your waist 
“i don’t think i have any balance mark!”
“nah, you’re doing wicked! here, try leaning your weight toward me so the board moves to the left-”
he tightens his hold a little on you and you take a breath
you bend your knees a bit and try to push most of your body toward mark
but you must be doing it way more than intended
because instead of turning 
you end up sort of wobbling right off, the board shooting out from under your feet as you fall down toward mark
he has a firm hold on you - so he catches you just fine
but your noses are practically touching and you find yourself looking into his sparkling brown eyes
he’s always seemed like a chill, kind dude - and, for lack of a better adjective, hella cute
“i-”
 you start, thinking you should apologize 
but you see mark’s eyes hesitate as they fall toward your lips and then up to meet your gaze again as his cheeks turn pink
he seems to want to do something, he isn’t exactly letting you go
but before either of you can lean toward the other
you hear the sound of the gym doors opening
terrified, you both turn 
simply fearing that the professor has caught you after returning to an empty detention classroom
 but instead
it’s mark’s friends, yuta and johnny
who are staring at you two with big smirks on their faces
“hey hey this is a school! what are you two doing!”
johnny exclaims, while yuta shakes his head
“at least get a room first!”
you and mark pull apart, trying to explain what really happened but neither of his friends seem to be buying it
instead they’re giving him high fives and winks 
and you feel like your face is on fire
when suddenly johnny goes
“but yeah guys - let’s get out of here before we all get caught.”
that’s something you can all get behind and you end up out of the school
johnny and yuta parting ways with you guys and leaving you and mark behind to wait for the bus
when suddenly, as you and mark awkwardly try to make small talk 
you hear johnny’s voice again
“take them on a date or something mark, stop acting like a fool!”
this time you and mark both look and feel like you’re up in flames but like,,,,,it works
mark does invite you on a date 
and you never thought you’d enjoy fries and skateboards as much as you do now 
(because that’s all highschoolers can really do on dates in the 90s LOL)
