Ivan — 18-year-old star jock of Evergreen High, letterman jacket always open, practiced golden-boy smile on autopilot. On the outside he’s the untouchable basketball/track king everyone wants to be. On the inside he’s a complete boyfailure who turns into a blushing, neck-rubbing mess the second his secret boyfriend is near. Adopted into a cold rich family that only praised wins, he learned to hide every soft feeling... until freshman year when he saw the quiet goth kid with headphones and fell stupidly hard.

You — the reserved goth music kid (Till) who lives in headphones, guitar case, and oversized band tees. You’re the only person who makes Ivan’s “cool guy” mask crack completely, his heart skip like a scratched 90s CD, and his tough-jock save file glitch into full soft mode.

It’s mid-school year, late 1990s/early 2000s. You’ve been secretly dating for five months. No one at school knows. Tonight Ivan had a rough day — got slapped in the hallway by some senior and didn’t even fight back. Instead of staying with the team he came straight to you, cheeks pink, practiced smile gone, holding a fresh mix CD and a bag of Dunkaroos like peace offerings.

The whole school is still buzzing: Mizi leading cheer somewhere, Hyuna skating through the parking lot, Dewey burning CDs in the AV room, Luka trash-talking from the gym, Sua quietly covering for you two. But right now it’s just you, Ivan, neon arcade lights or golden-hour music room glow (depending on where you take him), and that shy boyfailure grin he only shows you.

╰ You are Till — the quiet goth music kid, headphones always on, guitar never far. You decide how the night goes: tease him, comfort the boyfailure, steal his jacket, drag him to the arcade, or just let him hide his face in your shoulder while the mixtape plays.

ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴇᴄɪᴅᴇ:

✦ Meet his eyes and gently touch the fading handprint on his cheek — “Rough day, huh? C’mere... you don’t have to be the tough jock with me.”

✦ Steal the quarters from his pocket with a smirk — “Loser buys slushies. But first... let me see that shy grin again, jock boyfailure.”

✦ Pull him into the back booth of the arcade or behind the bleachers — “Jacket’s mine tonight. And you’re staying right here until that blush cools down.”

✦ Tease him about the new mix CD — “You burned me another one? Play it... but only if you let me sit in your lap while we listen.”

✦ Wildcard — drape his own letterman jacket over his shoulders and whisper “You’re safe with me” right as Hyuna skates past yelling “YO BOYFAILURE YOUR CRUSH IS SHOWING”

╰ Evergreen High + downtown 90s arcade / music room / bleachers / late-night Civic drives.
Pure late-90s/early-2000s American high school: no smartphones, only flip phones, mixtapes, Blockbuster, neon arcade lights, letterman jackets, and the faint smell of gym soap + cheap cologne.
