Did he just fucking die????
A harsh bump made the entire train car shake, and like the genius he wasn't, Zanka was not holding onto the rails. The moment the train car shook from the impact, his phone slipped out of his hands and clattered to the floor, and he fell face first into a very sturdy chest. The very same one he had been panic-texting his friends about to begin with.
It was definitely foolish, a dumb teenage crush. He didn't know much about the blond guy who was always on the same train in the afternoons, aside from the stops where he got on and off at, and the fact he was always holding an umbrella even when it was a perfectly sunny day. They usually spent about half an hour on the train together before the stranger got off, but they'd never really spoken at length.
That guy was probably the most beautiful man Zanka had ever seen. He was broad and muscular enough that the button-ups he wore barely seemed to fit over his body. His tie was loose around his neck, his sleeves casually rolled up to reveal the swirling blackout cloud tattoos that decorated most of his visible skin. That dimpled smile was nothing short of positively deadly. Worst of all, he definitely knew he was hot as fuck, if the smiles he flashed when he caught Zanka ogling him were anything to go by.
Zanka was a perfect student, but in all honesty, this guy was the only reason he actually went to class every day. He needed his daily fix of pretty blonde stranger, he just never intended to actually talk to the guy.
"Woah, hey there!" The older man immediately reached to steady him, offering his arm to help Zanka back to his feet. His voice was nice and deep and slightly scratchy. Judging by the strong stench of cigarettes on him, he almost definitely had a smoke before getting on the train. "Careful, you alright?" As soon as Zanka stood up straight and grabbed onto the rail, the man got down to fish for his fallen phone, holding it out to the boy.
Zanka awkwardly accepted the offer, quick to shove his phone back in his pocket in embarrassment. "Uh— yeah, thank you. Sorry."
The blond looked him up and down, grinning like it was the most natural thing in the world. He did seem like a pretty carefree guy from what Zanka could tell. He was definitely coming from an office job, but he didn't seem particularly professional, especially with tattoos that crawled in starbursts all the way up his neck. "Don't worry about it, happens all the time. Canvas High student?"
He shook his head, tugging on the strap of his messenger bag. He did not intend to spark a conversation with the man he stupidly fantasized about, and now he was struggling to keep his head on as straight as it should be. "South Ward Academy. It's a smaller private school across town from Canvas."
"Private school," the guy paused for a moment, taking in the information, brows furrowing a bit as he thought over the reply. "Yeah, that makes sense. You seem like a smart kid."
Zanka flustered, taken slightly aback by the casual manner in which the incredibly handsome stranger gave him a compliment. Okay, maybe he'd been a little too quick to accept Rudo's stupid bet. How the fuck was Zanka supposed to ask for this guy's number? He was not prepared to start this conversation, and he was definitely flubbing his already nonexistent chances.
No, no, he was not going to let Rudo fucking win that bet, if for no other reason than the fact he could use the money, because he was pretty much flat broke. He barely had enough to live on.
But he also just wanted to shove it in that little piece of shit's face.
"I'm Zanka," he bowed his head respectfully. "It's very nice to meet you."
"Enjin," the man introduced himself in kind. Fuck, as if this guy couldn't get hotter. Of course the hot guy would have an equally hot name, just to further solidify Zanka's complete lack of chances. His smile was kind— too kind. It was making Zanka's heart beat a little too fast to be comfortable.
"So, Zanka," the blond interrupted his train of thought, "It's pretty late to be just getting out of school. Afterschool club?"
He nodded, pulling at the keychain on his bag trying not to be too awkward. It was definitely an obvious tell of his nerves, but he was trying to chew on his lip less. It was already bitten bloody. "Student council. I'm the class president this year."
That must've gotten Enjin's attention, because the man looked at him a little differently this time. "Oh? Year just started, didn't it?"
"Yeah, I'm in my last year."
Enjin nodded thoughtfully. "Private school, student council president, you must have big plans for university, huh?"
Zanka hesitated, but decided against getting into the details and just stuck with the most basic half truth, "Probably the same university as my siblings. Penta."
"That's actually where I graduated from," Enjin chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "Must've been nine, ten years ago? Fuck, I'm getting old."
The stupid fantasies that liked to fill Zanka's mind with thoughts about this guy just got a whole lot worse. It was obvious that Enjin was quite a bit older than him, but he had to be at least thirty— much older than Zanka's original assumptions in a way he did not mind.
"Oh, really? I've heard it's a really great university. My family is…" he cringed a little bit, "Pretty specific about their standards when it comes to school."
Enjin nodded sympathetically. "It's competitive as hell. I was surprised I got in. The career opportunities are no joke though, I would've never landed my current job without it. Not that I was exactly the best student…" he laughed, undoubtedly recalling his memories of his student years. "Don't be like me, drinking before exams does not make them easier."
Drinking before… exams? Zanka's face must've twisted at that, because the man laughed even harder.
"Nevermind, you seem pretty straight-laced," he chuckled, "University is great. More freedom and independence. You know what major you're going for?"
Zanka strugged, shrinking into himself a bit. This wasn't going so bad, but he couldn't help feeling super awkward about it, especially when he was quietly trying to find a good opportunity to ask for the man's number. Because fuck Rudo and all of his friends who insisted on this. "My family wants me to go into finance."
"Not your first choice?"
"Doesn't really matter, does it?"
The man pondered his response. He seemed to be thinking pretty hard about something, but Zanka couldn't determine what. "You said you're in your last year, yeah?" Enjin asked. "Maybe I could help you out with university, if you're going to Penta."
"That sounds great," Zanka blurted, trying not to overthink this, "Can I have your number? To uh, keep in touch?"
Enjin blinked. The man looked like he was considering it, then finally shrugged and reached for his pocket to pull his phone out. "Shit, I mean yeah, sure. I don't usually text all that much, but I don't mind," he agreed, opening up his contacts and offering it out.
Zanka tried to be casual about pulling his phone out too, ignoring the screen full of notifications from his student officer groupchat and his friends' Minecraft server. He tapped his phone against the older man's until it dinged, subtly snapping a screenshot of the successful popup notification before it went away.
"Well, this is my stop," the blond sighed as the train began to slow. To Zanka's surprise, that tattooed hand landed gently on his shoulder, patting it and rubbing his thumb against the unwrinkled blazer. "Text me when you get home safe, Zanka. I'd love to grab lunch sometime."
He gave the boy a wink before exiting the double doors.

The money is great
Boring office job tho, the worst

Zanka N.
Not important.
Enjin
Alright then, keep ur secrets
