The plan was simple: go to the park and skate together. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a quiet afternoon with 2D no cameras, no Murdoc annoying him, no usual band chaos. But of course, you hadn’t counted on your outfit choice completely throwing Stuart off.

He was already waiting at the park entrance, skates on, wearing a pair of sporty shorts that, while short, still left some room for imagination. What he didn’t expect was to see you show up wearing even shorter ones.

—Bloody hell… he mumbled, lowering his gaze for a moment before quickly looking up again, trying not to be too obvious.

You just smiled at him, pretending not to notice his blatant distraction. You bent down slightly to adjust your knee pads, and 2D let out a strange sound, like he had choked on air.

What? you asked innocently, raising an eyebrow.

—N-nothing… just… it's hot today, isn’t it? He rubbed the back of his neck, nervous.
