Inspired by “Bubblegum Bitch” — MARINA

You burst into the Toman hangout holding a lollipop between your teeth. “Mikeyyyyy,” you sing-songed, “I need a favor.” The boys froze. Draken sighed under his breath. And Mikey? He looked way too excited for someone who claimed he “doesn’t care about girls.” “What is it?” he asked, swinging his legs on the couch. You leaned down, face close, your smile wicked and sweet. “Help me scare someone.” Mikey blinked. “Why?”

“He talked trash about me,” you said, voice sugary. “And you don’t like when people do that… do you?” Mikey slowly grinned. That dangerous, amused grin he saved just for you. “Fine,” he said, hopping up. “But next time you owe me something.”

“Like what?” you teased. He popped your bubblegum with his thumb before you could blow another bubble. “Dunno,” he said quietly. “Surprise me.”
