What I've Been Looking For.

Pairing: Poly!Ricky Bowen x Reader x Nini Salazar-Roberts.

Trigger Warning: Poly Relationship, none, surprise celebrity at the end!

Request.

The opening night of High School Musical: The Musical was finally here, and you were feeling every ounce of excitement, nerves, and adrenaline. You had spent months rehearsing with Ricky and Nini, both of whom were by your side through every high and low. Being in a relationship with both of them made everything feel even more magical — like you had a team who understood and supported you no matter what.

As the audience filled the seats, you found yourself pacing backstage, trying to calm your nerves. Ricky caught sight of you and quickly walked over, his hand slipping into yours. “You’re gonna be amazing,” he said softly, giving you that signature charming grin. His calm energy always seemed to ground you when you needed it the most.

Nini joined you both, a warm smile on her face as she squeezed your other hand. “You’ve got this. We’re all in this together, remember?” she winked, making you laugh despite your nerves. It was moments like this that made you realize how lucky you were to have them.

As the house lights dimmed and the show began, your mind raced, but once you were on stage, everything seemed to fall into place. The music, the choreography, the lines—it all flowed, and the energy from the audience made it feel even more electric.

By the time the final bow came, the applause was thunderous. You stood between Ricky and Nini, their hands in yours, hearts pounding with the exhilaration of a show well done. The three of you shared a proud look before heading offstage, basking in the glow of your accomplishment.

However, as you made your way to the dressing rooms, a familiar voice stopped you in your tracks.

“Y/N!” You spun around, heart skipping a beat. Standing there, smiling brightly, was Vanessa Hudgens, your cousin. She stepped forward, arms open wide.

Your eyes widened in shock. “Vanessa?! What—what are you doing here?”

Ricky and Nini exchanged confused glances, but your cousin didn’t hesitate to pull you into a tight hug. “I wouldn’t miss your big night for the world! You didn’t think I was gonna stay away when you were performing High School Musical, did you?”

“I didn’t think you even knew!” you stammered, still in disbelief.

Vanessa chuckled, pulling back to look at you. “Of course I knew. Your mom may have let it slip, but I wanted to surprise you.” She glanced over your shoulder at Ricky and Nini. “So, are you gonna introduce me to your friends?”

You turned to your partners, cheeks flushing. “Um, yeah. Vanessa, this is Ricky and Nini. They’re... well, we’re...”

“Together,” Ricky finished, smiling sheepishly as he extended his hand. Nini gave a small wave, her own smile matching the pride in her eyes.

Vanessa raised an eyebrow, but her smile widened. “Well, it looks like you’ve got a great team supporting you. I’m really proud of you, Y/N. You were incredible tonight.”

Your heart swelled as you took in her words. Being related to someone who had been a part of the original High School Musical was something you’d always known but never thought much about—until now. The connection felt surreal, but standing there with Ricky and Nini, you realized that tonight was even more special than you’d ever imagined.

Ricky wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close. “Looks like being a star runs in the family.”

Nini nodded, her hand slipping into yours again. “I’d say we have some pretty big shoes to fill.”

You laughed, feeling lighter than you had all night. “Well, no pressure, right?”

Vanessa grinned. “Trust me, you’ve already made your mark.” She glanced at Ricky and Nini. “And I’m glad you’ve got these two to back you up.”

As the night went on, you couldn’t stop smiling. With Vanessa’s surprise visit and the warmth of Ricky and Nini by your side, you knew this opening night would be a memory you’d cherish forever.

Ashes - Chapter 2

Series Masterlist

Main Masterlist

"Ladies and gentleman, just a reminder that the auditions for the musical will begin in the auditorium in five minutes," The words ring from the intercom.

Nini fixes her gaze on her sister excitedly.

(Y/n)'s gaze sparkles warmly. "Let's go!" (Y/n) says and Nini bounces excitedly.

. . .

"People! Make sure your audition number is clearly visible on your clothes!" Carlos yells over the bustle of the room. "This isn't a game."

(Y/n) chuckles, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Nini and (Y/n) were sitting on opposite sides of the room - their usual audition ritual. Nini is accompanied by EJ and Kourtney.

(Y/n) leans over her guitar, her fingers gently plucking a soft tune - her usual audition ritual - her eyes closed as her nose points down towards the guitar.

There is a knocking on the doorframe of the room, and there is a ringing silence.

"Okay, theatre people," Miss Jenn, who had walked into the room, claps her hands. "Let's do this."

Then her eyes fall on (Y/n), whose guitar is still sitting in her lap.

"Bring the guitar," Miss Jenn says, then she leaves, (Y/n) blinking in surprise.

(Y/n) puts a strap on her guitar, and she follows her twin out of the room, her guitar resting on her back.

. . .

Miss Jenn stops beside (Y/n), who is sitting offstage, tuning her guitar.

"How long have you been playing guitar?" Miss Jenn asks, and (Y/n) blinks, looking surprised.

"About nine to ten years," (Y/n) replies.

"Well, good luck," Miss Jenn tells her.

(Y/n) watches Miss Jenn with a slightly confused look on her face, but as she goes to focus back on guitar, she catches the eye of a very pretty redhead who is standing in a line to do her audition readings.

The redhead is dressed in a pink sweatshirt with the same shade of pink sweatpants, and her hair is pulled back.

The redhead smiles at (Y/n), her eyes crinkling cutely.

All the breath leaves (Y/n)'s chest and she sits stunned for a moment before she shakes herself.

(Y/n) looks up again when she sees Miss Jenn stop in front of the redhead.

"You," Miss Jenn studies the redhead closely. "You're giving me uncommon depth. Ms. Darbus?" Miss Jenn offers.

"I'm dying. I'm deceased. Yes." the girl says and (Y/n) giggles uncharastically.

"Oh, your application says you play piano?" Miss Jenn asks.

"I dabble," the girl replies.

"You ever written a song?" Miss Jenn asks.

"I mean, nothing I've ever shared with anyone," the girl admits.

"I always thought the drama teacher should have an Act Two power ballad," Miss Jenn smiles at the girl.

(Y/n) continues to watch as Miss Jenn reaches Nini. "And how about we have you read for Kelsi?" Miss Jenn asks.

(Y/n) sets down her guitar and goes to stand next to the last boy in line.

Nini pauses, and she glances down at her twin. (Y/n) nods her encouragement.

"Gabriella," Nini corrects. "I wanna audition for Gabriella."

"Okay," Miss Jenn smiles at Nini. She moves on to the boy in between (Y/n) and Nini. "You're reading for Ryan, right?" she asks.

(Y/n) can sense the boy's discomfort, and Carlos pipes up, "I think he'd rather play Sharpay."

Miss Jenn looks back at the blonde haired boy, and he grins. "I love that. That is so fresh."

Miss Jenn takes one more step to stand in front of (Y/n). Glancing back at Nini, Miss Jenn can see the similarities between the two girls.

Studying (Y/n) closely, Miss Jenn glances down at her clipboard.

. . .

"Okay, the last of the Troys," Miss Jenn says as EJ walks onto stage with a basketball clutched in his hands. "And he comes with props." EJ fake throws the ball, and catches it again, chuckling. "Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn tells EJ. "Okay," her voice softens, "what do I need to know?" she asks Carlos, who is sitting beside her.

"EJ Caswell," Carlos begins. "Most Instagram followers. Co-Captain of the Water Polo team. Senior class treasurer. Wakes up looking like that. Doesn't know I exist."

"I hope he can carry a tune," Miss Jenn says.

As EJ sings his piece, Nini smiles, her eyes softening with affection.

"Well, excuse me, Armie Hammer just called," Miss Jenn says and (Y/n)'s eyebrows raise. "He wants his jawline back." (Y/n) chuckles and EJ looks confused, glancing over at Nini and (Y/n), who were standing next to each other. "We're moving on to the Gabriellas," Miss Jenn goes on as EJ walks over to the wings.

The girl - Gina Porter, who had the fancy dance moves in the warm up - sings her piece with a steady voice.

"She's good," Nini murmurs in (Y/n)'s ear, sounding worried.

"We're going together," (Y/n) replies. "You're leading. You'll do amazing."

EJ comes to stand beside Nini and Nini turns to her boyfriend. "Okay, I could really use some last-minute tips. Like, now."

(Y/n) steps slightly away so they could talk.

"And that's why I love you," (Y/n) can hear EJ say, and Nini freezes.

. . .

(Y/n) is walking up to her bedroom but she freezes at her door as Ricky rushes past.

"Ricky?" (Y/n) asks but Ricky doesn't answer, his head bowed.

(Y/n) messes with her doorknob before she moves to Nini's room where her twin was hugging a pillow to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Nin?" (Y/n) asks, moving over to her sister's bed.

Sitting down, Nini collapses into her sister's arms, sobbing against her shoulder.

. . .

"You ready?" (Y/n) asks her sister.

"Any intel on these two?" Miss Jenn asks as the two sisters walk out into the center of the stage.

"Nini Salazar-Roberts," Carlos says, nodding to Nini. "Harmless chorus girl. Usually plays farm animals and trees. (Y/n) Salazar-Roberts," Carlos goes on, gesturing to (Y/n). "Orchestra girl. Plays cello, guitar, viola, and piano. Co-Captain of the cross-country team."

"Okay, Nini, (Y/n)! Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn says louder so the twins can hear.

Nini goes to start, but there are heavy footsteps approaching somewhere, and (Y/n) and Nini pause.

The door at the back of the auditorium slams open and (Y/n) scowls as she hears Ricky yell, "Am I too late? Am I too late?"

The redhead, whose eye (Y/n) had caught earlier, watches (Y/n) as she turns, facing her twin, murmuring something that the others can't hear. The redhead can see Nini relax a little, however.

"We're all set on Troys," Miss Jenn tells Ricky as he jumps up the stairs. "We're low on Chads. You can read after the Gabriellas."

"I-I only studied the Troy scenes in the movie," Ricky stutters and EJ rolls his eyes.

"Troy would have arrived on time," Carlos replies, looking annoyed.

"I hope that was ironic," (Y/n) comments and the others laugh.

Miss Jenn turns away from Ricky and back towards (Y/n) and Nini, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, (Y/n)'s feet spread slightly, as though grounding herself.

"Whoo!" EJ yells, cheering his girlfriend on.

Miss Jenn starts, her coffee spilling on the light board.

Electricity crackles and the lights flicker off, leaving the others sitting in darkness.

"Nobody panic!" Miss Jenn calls after a moment, trying to mop up her spilled coffee with a few sheets of paper. "Girls, let's wait for the lights to come back on," she goes on. "I don't want this to throw you."

(Y/n) takes a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Nini.

"We're not thrown," Nini says, furrowing her eyebrows.

(Y/n) and Nini begin the song, and both Ricky and EJ jump up, flicking on their phone lights and shining them in (Y/n) and Nini's eyes.

. . .

Watching the twins sing, the redhead notices how well their voice complement each other's, Nini's higher voice easily matching up with (Y/n)'s lower voice.

Just as the two finish, the lights flicker back on.

(Y/n) glances at Nini. "Funny how that happens."

Nini regards her twin with amusement, while the others on the stage laugh.

Miss Jenn considers the two in front of her for a moment, Ricky and EJ turning off their phone flashlights.

"Good job you two," Miss Jenn says, looking impressed.

(Y/n) grins at her sister and the two walk over, sitting down.

Nini had plopped herself beside EJ, leaving (Y/n) to sit in between her and the pretty redhead that had caught her eye earlier.

"You, late boy," Miss Jenn calls back to Ricky. "Let's do the Chad sides."

(Y/n) throws a protective arm around Nini's shoulders as Ricky walks to the middle of the stage.

You're The Only One I Love // Nini Salazar-Roberts

request: hiii, if you could do any nini/olivia x fem reader it would be amazing!!

prompts: none

summary: y/n sees something she wasn't supposed to, and starts ignoring her girlfriend because of it.

warnings: ricky being an asshole, crying, sadness, slight argument

word count: 602

Nini knocked on your door again, hoping that this time you would finally answer. It’s been days since she’d last seen you. You hadn’t been going to school, and you were ignoring every single call and text she sent to you. At first she had wanted to give you your space, but enough was enough. She was beginning to get worried. You couldn’t just cut her out without at least telling her why.

“Go away,” came your muffled voice from the other side of the door.

Nini let out a sigh of relief. It had been days since she’d heard your voice. And even though those were words she didn’t want to hear, she was glad just to be hearing anything from you at all.

“No. I-I’m not leaving y/n. You’ve been avoiding me all week. I miss you. Please talk to me. What did I do wrong?” she said the last part in a whisper, still scared that you were mad at her for something she did. Something she didn’t even know about.

Suddenly your door opened. And there you stood, all red faced and puffy eyed. Nini immediately pulled you into a hug, but you didn’t return it. You just stood there and waited for her to get off of you.

“I saw you,” you said softly.

“What?”

“With Ricky? After auditions. I saw you. That’s why I’ve been avoiding you.”

Nini’s eyes widened as she finally realized why you were mad at her. You saw what had happened between her and Ricky. Of course you didn’t have the whole story, and yes from an outsider's perspective it did look incredibly incriminating. But at least she finally knew why.

“What you think you saw, isn’t what happened. Ricky wasn’t leaving me alone, he was always texting and calling. Trying to get back together. And he wanted to meet with me after auditions to talk things over. I agreed, but only so I could make it clear to him that we were over. I don’t love him anymore y/n, I love you. I told him that, and I told him that we weren’t going to be together anymore, and he seemed to be okay with that. But when I tried to leave he pulled me towards him and kissed me. I pushed him off of me right after, I promise. I didn’t want to kiss him, believe me. I don’t want him. I want you. I will only ever want you.”

You smiled softly at her, new tears began to form in your eyes. Nini noticed them and immediately reached up to wipe them away.

“Hey, why are you crying?”

“I’m sorry, I’ve been such a jerk. I should’ve trusted you. I should’ve just talked to you about it. But I pushed you and everyone else away. I’m sorry.”

It was silent for a moment before you added, “I also have a lot of makeup work to do now.”

You both laughed softly at that.

“It’s okay y/n, I probably would’ve done the same. I’m just glad things are okay now. I really missed you.”

“I missed you too,” you replied as you pulled Nini into a hug.

“So, you love me?”

Nini’s face lit up in a blush at your words as she smiled at you.

“Yeah, I do. I know it’s not as grand as a whole big song for it, but being away from you for so long made me realize just how much I need you.”

“I know what you mean. And, I love you too.”

nini salazar x fem!reader summary: nini and y/n's love story told through polaroids warnings: implications of sex request: hi! can I request prompt 28 and 29 from the August prompts with Nini? Like a childhood friends to lovers from anon notes: prompt 28. polaroids | prompt 29. childhood friends | august prompts

posted august 11th, 2021

the first photo of the two girls was from before they were even born. it pictured two pregnant women as they stood next to one another with a smile both holding a sign saying “it’s a girl!” in glittery pink text. the photo was dated october 2002.

“okay, are you guys ready?” dana asked putting the glass of sparkling cider down turning to y/n’s mother, who nodded.

the two women are handed signs that are covered with a sheet of paper to obscure the writing on it. the women and their spouses begin their countdown from five before tearing the paper off, facing each other they both gasp and scream, “it’s a girl!” the announcement causes them to scream in excitement as they look down at their own signs before dropping them and hugging (to the best of their ability, the swollen stomachs getting in the way).

“okay, okay, now pictures for the albums!” carol shouts over the excitement, the two women nod picking up their signs and smiling as the flash of the polaroid camera goes off twice, a picture taken by the respective spouses.

“a toast! to our girls, may they be friends forever!” y/n’s mother called, earning a few ‘hear hear’s from the rest of the group.

the oldest photo of the two girls after they were born is one of them as babies soon after they were born, y/n in early february, nini later that same month. they were wearing matching dresses with matching headbands that had a pink flower on the side. the two were both sleeping peacefully next to each other. the photo was dated march 2003.

carol had seen the dresses during one of her grocery runs, dana at home with nini, still recovering from the birth. she knew how cute it would be for her and y/n to be matching and what a perfect addition it would be for the photo albums. After finishing her shopping trip and getting back home where nini was sleeping peacefully in dana’s arms, y/n in her mom’s who was sitting next to dana on the couch. After unloading all of the food, carol came into the living room, arms behind her back, “i found something.” after gaining the attention of the two women, she revealed what was hidden behind her back and the two girl awed at the sight, “i thought we could dress them up for the album.”

the next picture is of their first day in school, pre-k. backpacks on and toothy grins as the girls leaned together to fit into the camera’s frame, arms around each other. the photo was labeled september 2008

“okay, girls! picture time!” y/n’s mother clapped.

the two girls, jumping with excitement, managed to find it in them to stand still for just long enough , nini’s arm around y/n’s as they leaned together, for their respective mothers to both take pictures of them, the flash of the camera making the girls giggle. “now let’s get you guys to school!” dana clapped her hands together.

the two girls lived right next door to one another and spent most of their time together at each other’s house. playing with various toys or watching cartoons together. there’s even a picture of them taken from behind the couch they both sat on, the tops of their heads barely visible as spongebob played on the tv in-front of them. the next picture was taken soon after the previous m, the two girls asleep nini’s head on y/n’s shoulder and her head on top of nini’s. both photos were dated december 2008.

the two girls were watching cartoons one evening after school, waiting for dinner to be done as their parents cooked in the room behind them. y/n’s father went to check on them, carol following behind to get something from another room when she saw the girls engrossed on the screen in front of them. “tell them to get a picture.” she said nudging y/n’s fathers arm as he reentered the kitchen to tell them. the two women were on it, instructing him to watch the food, they both flashed their cameras quietly so as to not disturb them. after dinner was cooked and eaten the girls were back in front of the television watching spongebob once again, this time falling asleep quickly. their soft snores soon alerted the parents and soon two more photos were snapped.

the girls had a full album their parents a given them of all their childhood memories together. photos of them together and even a few with their newest friend ricky, who they met on their first day of kindergarten. now in highschool their girls were both gifted their own polaroid cameras so they could add to their own albums. they both soon added group photos with all their friends. they both had the same picture which had nini, y/n standing together along with ricky, ashlyn, ej, big red, carlos, seb, kourtney, gina, and miss jenn. which was labeled spring musical, may 2020. they took several copies of that picture so everyone in it could have one (which took forever).

the amount of photos they took once they started dating grew tremendously, one of them in matching outfits for senior prom. them in their fork costumes for beauty and the beast. a picture of nini driving that y/n snapped from the passenger seat. a picture of y/n doing homework, unaware of the camera on her (and one taken immediately after that of y/n reaching for nini’s camera with a grin on her face), a picture they asked a stranger too take where they stood outside a 7/11 slushies in hand, holding each other closely.

there was one picture that was only for them though, it had it’s own special place for each of the two girls. y/n had hers stuck to her mirror so she could see it each day when she got ready and nini had hers stuck to the first page of her songwriting book to look back on if she needed a little bit of inspiration.

the picture was of the two girls, y/n’s arm lifted as she held the camera to snap the photo. the two girls frozen as they kissed, nini’s hand holding y/n’s jaw, her other resting on her neck and y/n’s free hand tangled in nini’s hair. the photo was labeled y/n and nini april 2020.

“i have a picture idea!” y/n announced rolling over to laying on nini who was sitting up against her headboard on her phone. nini hummed and looked at her to continue. y/n smiled and without explaining, camera already in hand, sat up and grabbed nini kissing her softly, deepening it slightly. nini sighed into the kiss her hands moving to rest on y/n’s chin, the other falling to her neck. y/n tangled her hand in her hair before remembering why she was kissing nini and snapping the picture the sound and flash casing nini to jump away.

“oh i see how it is.” nini laughed, “you better be taking another one!”

“of course i am, come here!” she pulled nini into another kiss, the pair copying their positions as best as they could, y/n snapping another photo before dropping both the camera and developing photo onto the bed as she pushed nini into the pillows as the girl below giggled into the kiss.

they had some other photos that lay hidden in a shoe box under nini’s bed along with other mementos of their relationship. one of y/n curled up alseep on nini, nini’s arm stretched out holding the camera the other holding y/n tightly. one of nini took with her on y/n’s lap as she laid down, wearing only a bra, her face covered in embarrassment (one of nini’s favorites.)

nini sat up breathless to look at her handiwork, a purple splotch now forming on y/n’s collarbone. y/n sat up to pull nini into another kiss, nini’s arm holding her up next to y/n’s as the she deepened the kiss, not even having to fight y/n for dominance. she sat up again to catch her breath, she had her hand on y/n’s stomach to push her back while she took deep breaths. “god, you’re so hot.” nini laughed, before leaning over the girl below her and grabbing her camera.

“no! no pictures.”’ y/n groaned, throwing her arms over her face. nini laughed and took a picture anyways, the flash going off in the dim room, the only light available coming from a lamp on her bedside table.

nini waited for the picture to develop before looking at it smiling, “see, you look beautiful. fucking perfect. i love you.”

y/n blushed, “shut up.” before taking the camera and picture from her and setting them down, before pulling her back into another heated kiss.

nini salazar-roberts x reader

requested: i would really like to read something for Marley or for Nini honestly don't have an exact idea yet but maybe for either of them something where the reader ends up helping them get over their ex or something like that

a/n: this is for an awesome supporter of mine @x--mccrew--x​ , i hope you enjoy and thank you so much for all of the support

*not my gif*

“Soooo...who’re you texting?” you ask.

You and your best friend Nini were lying on your bed. Her head laid on your stomach as you just lied there together in a comfortable silence. But Nini was smiling at her phone constantly texting someone. 

She smiled sheepishly, “Ricky. He really makes me happy.” 

You couldn’t help, but feel happy for your best friend. Her and Ricky have been pining after each other for as long as she could remember. But you’re happy with how this turned out. 

Unfortunately, your happiness turned into despair and anger when Ricky broke up with Nine on their one year anniversary. 

She ran to your house in a puddle of tears unsure of who to talk to or where to go. But you accepted her with open arms and a bunch of love.

“I told him I loved him and he left saying we need to take a break.” she sobs into you shirt. 

You held her close swaying her from side to side. In a sort of dancing way. You always watched when you were younger as her moms would sway her whenever she was upset. So you did it, in hopes that she would start feeling a little better.

“I’m sorry Nini. Let it all out, okay? It’s gonna be okay.” you whisper softly. 

Nini stayed at your house for the rest of the summer. You called her moms to update them and let them know you’re taking care of her the best you can. 

Your parents didn’t mind that Nini stayed for as long as she did. They adored her and thought that she was the best kid ever. 

You would bring up her dinner and play her favorite movies over and over again until it got embedded in your brain. Just so you can hear that beautiful laugh of hers and see the small smile that grazed over her face. 

The first couple of weeks were rough. You could barely get a smile out of her, but the more and more time went by she started to become the Nini you knew and love.

Not that you didn’t love her any less when she was sad. You always loved her for as long as you could remember.

“Thank you for letting me stay here the past month. I know that it was probably annoying taking care of me all the time.” Nini says as she takes a slice of the pizza you guys ordered.

You finished eating the bite you just put in your mouth before shaking your head, “No need to apologize. I don’t mind, I love having you around.”

She smiles sheepishly, “I just don’t want to go to school tomorrow and see him. I don’t think I’m ready for that.” 

“Well, I’m gonna be here for you every step of the way.” you say placing your hand on hers. 

“You’re too good to me.” she whispers, squeezing your hand back.

The Next Day At School

The two of you found yourself at her locker. You wanted to wait for her so she didn’t have to walk to class alone. Kourtney met up with both of you as you just talked about the past month.

“Feminism is all the rage now a days, we need to stand up for ourselves!” Kourtney says as we start walking to class.

Only to be met with the brown-eyed messy hair boy and his best friend, “Hey Big Red.” I say giving him a high five, “Ricky.” I add on with a stern nod.

“Woah scary Y/N.” Ricky mumbled, scratching the back of his neck.

“Nini, can we talk?” he asks, “Look I’m sorry, can we just start fresh?”

You three girls look at him incredulously, “Start fresh? Ricky I wrote you a song for our one year anniversary! I told you I loved you! And you walked out asking for a break! You wanted a break, right? Well it’s a break up.”

“Nini no!” Ricky exclaims, “We’re perfect for each other and I didn’t mean to just give me a chance to explain.”

Nini was taken aback and she didn’t know what else to say. She was frozen.

“Ricky,” you say stepping towards the brunette, “I think you’ve done enough. You’ve hurt her in more ways than you know. So take a step back and take a breather.”

He scoffed before storming off. Big Red gave an apologetic look before running after him.

“Are you okay?” you ask, rubbing your hands on her arms.

She nods softly, “I’ll be okay. Thank you.”

The rest of the month the two of you found yourselves growing closer and closer. Even though you were best friends when you were younger you got closer in a different way.

With convincing by Nini, you joined the school musical. You just helped out Big Red with the sound and tech stuff, but helping out no doubt. While Ricky stepped in and played Troy.

But all the time you and Nini spent together caused you to have a flutter in your stomach every time you see her. Wanting to kiss her every time she was near you. Or wanting to hold her hand when she hands you a simple piece of paper.

You kept all these feelings down. Nini was still pining after Ricky. And with him playing Troy and her playing Gabriella wit was bound to happen. Or so you thought.

“Kourt? I can’t just tell her! It could ruin everything!” Nini exclaims, dropping down on her dressing room chair.

“Neens...it won’t! Have you seen the way she looks at you? She looks at her like your entire world!” Kourtney tries to convince the brunette.

But that still wasn’t enough for Nini to grow the courage.

It was opening night and the two of you were in the dressing rooms, along with the rest of your new found family.

You stood behind her dressing room chair and squeezed both of her shoulders, “You okay?”

“Yes just a little jitters.” she replies, putting both of her hands on top of yours.

“Well I believe in you. If anyone can go out there and crush this. It’s you.” you respond.

She smiles at you, the two of you looking at each other through her mirror. The glances shared between you spilling all the words that are left unsaid.

“Nini? Can we talk?” Ricky asks, snapping the both of you out of your trance.

Nini clears her throat, “Uh yeah.” she says looking at him, “I’ll see you after the show?”

You nod forcing a smile, “Break a leg.”

The show goes off and finishes, there were a few bumps, but you were all still proud of how it turned out.

Most of the time though you were in more awe of Nini. The way she sang and the way she acted. It was mesmerizing.

Everyone ran backstage after the curtain ended. Adrenaline coursing through everyone’s bodies. You told everyone you ran into a ‘nice job!’, desperately trying to find Nini.

When you finally found her she was down the hall talking to Kourtney, “Nini!” you yelled.

Her eyes lit up and she bolted towards you. You had your arms wide open as she ran into you with full force. She wrapped her legs around your waist as you almost fell back at the impact.

“You were so good Neen!” you yell, squeezing her tightly.

“Thank you!” she says as you finally put her down onto the ground.

Yet your arms were still wrapped around each other. You didn’t realize how close your guys faces were until that very moment. The moment your heart skipped a beat.

The two of you continued to steal glances between each other’s eyes and lips. Neither of you knew what to do.

“JUST KISS ALREADY!!” many voices rang out through the hall.

You looked around to see Big Red, Kourtney, Gina, EJ, Ashlyn, Seb, and Carlos all looking at the two of you in anticipation.

“Well I think we need to give the audience what they want.” you say with a small smile on her face.

She nods, “Yeah I think we should.”

The two of you leaned into each other. The kiss was everything you dreamed of. She was soft and tasted of strawberry chapstick.

You took her chin in between your fingers when you pulled away. The two of you smiling like idiots.

Valentine's Song (Nini Salazar-Roberts x Reader)

Masterlist /

For Nini’s and Y/N’s first Valentine's Day together, Nini wanted to make it very special. She loves to show the world how much Y/N means to her. Also, Y/N’s old friend from her old school was coming to visit. Ashlyn planned a small party for the theatre club so Y/N can bring her friend.

“I’m very excited for you guys to meet. I promise that you will love each other” Y/N said as they were walking down the hallway the day before Valentine. “She must be very important to you,” Nini asked, smirking at how happy her girlfriend is. Y/N quickly grabs Nini’s hand and pulls her in. “She is almost as important as you are to me. I hope you don’t think that she’s above you. She’s just helped me come to terms with my sexuality. She kinda led me to you. So I can be ready to be with you without worrying about anything. I want her to meet you because you’re important to me” Y/N spoke worrying that she was making Nini feel less than she is. Nini smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry Y/N, I know that you love me” Nini kissed her making Y/N blushed.

The next day, Y/N picked up her friend from the bus station. She was taking her over to Ashlyn's house, “So how are you liking the new school” Dora asked looking at Y/N. “I love it, I met so many great people. I also started to date, someone.” Y/N confessed shyly. Dora gave her a shocked look. “Really?” she asked. “Yeah her name is Nini, she’s great, You will love her. She treats me like a princess.” Y/N nod smiling thinking about Nini. “Did she do something for Valentine's Day?” Dora asked, crossing her arms. “Yeah, she gave me chocolate and this cute hippo. She told me that my main gift, she will give me later. I also am giving her gift later, well actually right now at the party, but you know what I mean.” Y/N answer smiling.

Dora was shocked to hear that Y/N was dating much less a girl. They met in middle school. Y/N was new to the whole school since she met halfway through the year. Dora helped her with everything. Finding her class or homework that she needed to catch up on, she even got her into the drama club in the school. She started to notice how protective she was with Y/N. At first, she didn’t know why until Y/ came out to her. That when she knew the reason why. She had a crush on Y/N. She saw Y/N slowly come to the term with her sexuality. She made the attempt to ask Y/N out but Y/N told her that she wasn’t ready to come out in public. Dora waited for her until Y/N told her that for high school, she was going to move since her dad wanted her closer to him. She always thought Y/N and her were soulmates, that they eventually found their way to each other. Now to hear how much this Nini girl has Y/N acting like she was on cloud nine was angry.

When they arrived at Ashlyn’s house, Y/N quickly walked up to the door and knocked. Nini, knowing that it was Y/N and her friend, quickly went to open the door. “Hey,” Nini smiled, seeing Y/N with her friend behind her. “Hi” Y/N smiled shyly. “Come in, Ashlyn was about to bring the food.” Nini reaches her hand for Y/N. “Cool” Y/N  took her hand and walked in, she stopped to close the door for Dora. “Nini this is my friend from my old school, Dora. Dora this my girlfriend, Nini” Y/N introduce them smiling. “Hi, Y/N told me a lot about you, it’s nice to meet you” Nini spoke smiling nervously. “Hey,” Dora smiled fakely at her. Nini’s smile falters a bit seeing that Dora was kinda being short with her. She knew a fake smile when she saw one.

“You’re here” The three girls hear Ashlyn shout once she sees Y/N and Dora. “Hey, guys this is my friend, Dora. Dora this is the theatre club in East High.” Y/N walks into the living room with Nini, while Dora follows them. “Hey, nice to meet you all,” Dora said smiling. Nini just falters more seeing that Dora already dislikes her. Nini really wants Dora to like her since she means a lot to Y/N. “Anyways, should we eat” Ashlyn spoke, making everyone nod and sit down around the living room. Y/N quickly make sure Nini and Dora sit beside her.

“Okay, we will eat first then couples can do your cute stuff and give gifts while us singles people can watch and cry on the inside,” Kourtney said making everyone smile and shake their heads. They eat and chat, Nini has tried to talk with Dora but she would be short with her. Y/N nudged Dora to give her a look. Y/N gave Nini a kiss on the head and whispered to ignore Dora.

After everyone finished eating, the gifts came out. When it was Y/N and Nini turned, YN quickly took a box out from her bag and put it into Nini’s lap. Nini smiles and opens it to find a frame with Nini and Y/N’s first date picture. They have taken a selfie, Nini had to keep asking for the picture a million times but Y/N would always forget. Nini blush and kiss Y/N. “I love it,” Nini whispers once she pulls away making Y/N blushed.  “Okay my turn” Nini went to the piano that Ashlyn had in the living room and started to sing the song that she wrote for Y/N.

Once Nini was done, she turned to Y/N, who was smiling hugely, and ran up to her. “That was amazing, thanks Nini,” Y/N said, kissing her. Everyone clapped and cheered. Dora rolled her eyes,” Really just a song? Y/N gave you something that you can hang up in your room but she can’t put that in her room or something.”Dora spoke, making everyone quiet. “DORA” Y/N called in shocked. “What? It’s true” Dora said, standing up. “It isn’t about whether I can put it in my room or something. Nini asked me once what my perfect gift was and I said her singing to me.” Y/N said angry, Nini was already wiping tears, she hated that she made Y/N and Dora argue. “Whatever, settle for less Y/N” Dora spat looking at Nini and walking out. Y/N breath out and grab Nini’s hand and follow Dora.

The others follow Y/N and Nini, “Dora what is your problem. I know that you’re easy to get along with the others, but what is with Nini that you dislike.” Y/N spoke following Dora to the driveway. “I could and would treat you better, I would buy you the best stuff but no, you’re here with her,” Dora yelled. “But Dora, I’m happy with Nini. Isn’t that enough, Nini is everything for me, I’m sorry if I made you think that I would wait for you. I told you before I left, go and be happy. Don’t wait for me. I love Nini. She means the word for me.” Y/N spoke, making Dora just roll her eyes. “Did you know that I came out to my grandma before she died, Dora, I was nervous out of my mind but I did it. Did you know that she hugged me and said that she was happy for me. That I was still me but just able to walk without anything weighing me down. She even met Nini and she loved her. You met her, Dora. My grandma was as religious as it came and never liked anyone. But she approved of Nini being my girlfriend. If she can look past her beliefs that she grew up with since she was young because she knew that Nini made me happy. Can’t you look past your crush.” Y/N stopped still holding on to Nini’s hands.

Dora just nodded and walked away. “Thought so” Y/N nod and turn to Nini. “I’m…..so sorry Y/N” Nini cried. Y/N just shook her head and hugged her. “Forget her, I'm still happy” Y/N whispers, making Nini smile and hug her tighter. ”I love you” Nini whispers, kissing Y/N. “Let’s keep this Valentine's Day party going” Y/N yelled, making everyone cheer and walk back into Ashlyn’s house.

Ashes (HSMTMTS x Salazar-Roberts Reader) - Chapter 2

Series Masterlist

Main Masterlist

"Ladies and gentleman, just a reminder that the auditions for the musical will begin in the auditorium in five minutes," The words ring from the intercom.

Nini fixes her gaze on her sister excitedly.

(Y/n)'s gaze sparkles warmly. "Let's go!" (Y/n) says and Nini bounces excitedly.

. . .

"People! Make sure your audition number is clearly visible on your clothes!" Carlos yells over the bustle of the room. "This isn't a game."

(Y/n) chuckles, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Nini and (Y/n) were sitting on opposite sides of the room - their usual audition ritual. Nini is accompanied by EJ and Kourtney.

(Y/n) leans over her guitar, her fingers gently plucking a soft tune - her usual audition ritual - her eyes closed as her nose points down towards the guitar.

There is a knocking on the doorframe of the room, and there is a ringing silence.

"Okay, theatre people," Miss Jenn, who had walked into the room, claps her hands. "Let's do this."

Then her eyes fall on (Y/n), whose guitar is still sitting in her lap.

"Bring the guitar," Miss Jenn says, then she leaves, (Y/n) blinking in surprise.

(Y/n) puts a strap on her guitar, and she follows her twin out of the room, her guitar resting on her back.

. . .

Miss Jenn stops beside (Y/n), who is sitting offstage, tuning her guitar.

"How long have you been playing guitar?" Miss Jenn asks, and (Y/n) blinks, looking surprised.

"About nine to ten years," (Y/n) replies.

"Well, good luck," Miss Jenn tells her.

(Y/n) watches Miss Jenn with a slightly confused look on her face, but as she goes to focus back on guitar, she catches the eye of a very pretty redhead who is standing in a line to do her audition readings.

The redhead is dressed in a pink sweatshirt with the same shade of pink sweatpants, and her hair is pulled back.

The redhead smiles at (Y/n), her eyes crinkling cutely.

All the breath leaves (Y/n)'s chest and she sits stunned for a moment before she shakes herself.

(Y/n) looks up again when she sees Miss Jenn stop in front of the redhead.

"You," Miss Jenn studies the redhead closely. "You're giving me uncommon depth. Ms. Darbus?" Miss Jenn offers.

"I'm dying. I'm deceased. Yes." the girl says and (Y/n) giggles uncharastically.

"Oh, your application says you play piano?" Miss Jenn asks.

"I dabble," the girl replies.

"You ever written a song?" Miss Jenn asks.

"I mean, nothing I've ever shared with anyone," the girl admits.

"I always thought the drama teacher should have an Act Two power ballad," Miss Jenn smiles at the girl.

(Y/n) continues to watch as Miss Jenn reaches Nini. "And how about we have you read for Kelsi?" Miss Jenn asks.

(Y/n) sets down her guitar and goes to stand next to the last boy in line.

Nini pauses, and she glances down at her twin. (Y/n) nods her encouragement.

"Gabriella," Nini corrects. "I wanna audition for Gabriella."

"Okay," Miss Jenn smiles at Nini. She moves on to the boy in between (Y/n) and Nini. "You're reading for Ryan, right?" she asks.

(Y/n) can sense the boy's discomfort, and Carlos pipes up, "I think he'd rather play Sharpay."

Miss Jenn looks back at the blonde haired boy, and he grins. "I love that. That is so fresh."

Miss Jenn takes one more step to stand in front of (Y/n). Glancing back at Nini, Miss Jenn can see the similarities between the two girls.

Studying (Y/n) closely, Miss Jenn glances down at her clipboard.

. . .

"Okay, the last of the Troys," Miss Jenn says as EJ walks onto stage with a basketball clutched in his hands. "And he comes with props." EJ fake throws the ball, and catches it again, chuckling. "Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn tells EJ. "Okay," her voice softens, "what do I need to know?" she asks Carlos, who is sitting beside her.

"EJ Caswell," Carlos begins. "Most Instagram followers. Co-Captain of the Water Polo team. Senior class treasurer. Wakes up looking like that. Doesn't know I exist."

"I hope he can carry a tune," Miss Jenn says.

As EJ sings his piece, Nini smiles, her eyes softening with affection.

"Well, excuse me, Armie Hammer just called," Miss Jenn says and (Y/n)'s eyebrows raise. "He wants his jawline back." (Y/n) chuckles and EJ looks confused, glancing over at Nini and (Y/n), who were standing next to each other. "We're moving on to the Gabriellas," Miss Jenn goes on as EJ walks over to the wings.

The girl - Gina Porter, who had the fancy dance moves in the warm up - sings her piece with a steady voice.

"She's good," Nini murmurs in (Y/n)'s ear, sounding worried.

"We're going together," (Y/n) replies. "You're leading. You'll do amazing."

EJ comes to stand beside Nini and Nini turns to her boyfriend. "Okay, I could really use some last-minute tips. Like, now."

(Y/n) steps slightly away so they could talk.

"And that's why I love you," (Y/n) can hear EJ say, and Nini freezes.

. . .

(Y/n) is walking up to her bedroom but she freezes at her door as Ricky rushes past.

"Ricky?" (Y/n) asks but Ricky doesn't answer, his head bowed.

(Y/n) messes with her doorknob before she moves to Nini's room where her twin was hugging a pillow to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Nin?" (Y/n) asks, moving over to her sister's bed.

Sitting down, Nini collapses into her sister's arms, sobbing against her shoulder.

. . .

"You ready?" (Y/n) asks her sister.

"Any intel on these two?" Miss Jenn asks as the two sisters walk out into the center of the stage.

"Nini Salazar-Roberts," Carlos says, nodding to Nini. "Harmless chorus girl. Usually plays farm animals and trees. (Y/n) Salazar-Roberts," Carlos goes on, gesturing to (Y/n). "Orchestra girl. Plays cello, guitar, viola, and piano. Co-Captain of the cross-country team."

"Okay, Nini, (Y/n)! Whenever you're ready," Miss Jenn says louder so the twins can hear.

Nini goes to start, but there are heavy footsteps approaching somewhere, and (Y/n) and Nini pause.

The door at the back of the auditorium slams open and (Y/n) scowls as she hears Ricky yell, "Am I too late? Am I too late?"

The redhead, whose eye (Y/n) had caught earlier, watches (Y/n) as she turns, facing her twin, murmuring something that the others can't hear. The redhead can see Nini relax a little, however.

"We're all set on Troys," Miss Jenn tells Ricky as he jumps up the stairs. "We're low on Chads. You can read after the Gabriellas."

"I-I only studied the Troy scenes in the movie," Ricky stutters and EJ rolls his eyes.

"Troy would have arrived on time," Carlos replies, looking annoyed.

"I hope that was ironic," (Y/n) comments and the others laugh.

Miss Jenn turns away from Ricky and back towards (Y/n) and Nini, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, (Y/n)'s feet spread slightly, as though grounding herself.

"Whoo!" EJ yells, cheering his girlfriend on.

Miss Jenn starts, her coffee spilling on the light board.

Electricity crackles and the lights flicker off, leaving the others sitting in darkness.

"Nobody panic!" Miss Jenn calls after a moment, trying to mop up her spilled coffee with a few sheets of paper. "Girls, let's wait for the lights to come back on," she goes on. "I don't want this to throw you."

(Y/n) takes a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Nini.

"We're not thrown," Nini says, furrowing her eyebrows.

(Y/n) and Nini begin the song, and both Ricky and EJ jump up, flicking on their phone lights and shining them in (Y/n) and Nini's eyes.

. . .

Watching the twins sing, the redhead notices how well their voice complement each other's, Nini's higher voice easily matching up with (Y/n)'s lower voice.

Just as the two finish, the lights flicker back on.

(Y/n) glances at Nini. "Funny how that happens."

Nini regards her twin with amusement, while the others on the stage laugh.

Miss Jenn considers the two in front of her for a moment, Ricky and EJ turning off their phone flashlights.

"Good job you two," Miss Jenn says, looking impressed.

(Y/n) grins at her sister and the two walk over, sitting down.

Nini had plopped herself beside EJ, leaving (Y/n) to sit in between her and the pretty redhead that had caught her eye earlier.

"You, late boy," Miss Jenn calls back to Ricky. "Let's do the Chad sides."

(Y/n) throws a protective arm around Nini's shoulders as Ricky walks to the middle of the stage.

When she loved me

Pairing: Nini Salazar Roberts x fem!Reader

Warnings: maybe you’ll get sad

Song Reference: When she loved me - Sarah McLachlan

A/n: yeah its the song from toy story 2. do be kinda sad. Gif is not mine cred to original owner!

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

When somebody loved me, Everything was beautiful

"Y/n/n come on!" Nini laughed, running ahead of you to the open gates of the flower garden. She stopped running when she reached the bunches of marigolds, kneeling down to smell the flowers.

You smiled at her as she did so, heart-swelling at her peaceful beauty. It was as if she felt your stare, her head picking up to smile back at you.

And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears.

Nini grasped onto your arms as she sobbed, shoulders racking as she messily told you what had happened.

"I told him I loved him and he left. Then he said we should take a break."

You frowned, softly caressing her head. "I'm sorry Nini, you don't deserve that."

And when she was happy so was I.

You helped Nini up by the arm, gripping onto her. She thanked you quickly, brushing off her pants as she looked at the horizon before her. She cheered, throwing her arms up as she celebrated. You couldn't help but do the same, grinning when she beamed at you.

Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all.

"Okay junior year, we totally got this right?" Nini asked, holding her stuffed bear in her arms.

You chuckled at her nervousness, "Yes we got this. Come on, it won't be that bad, promise." You sat up in her chair, hugging one of her throw pillows. "It's only July either way, we got about two months before we can freak out." She laughed, nodding her head in return.

And I knew that she loved me

"I'm going to theater camp."

You peered up at Nini over your sketch pad, discarding the ruler and pencil in your hands. "You are?" She nods. "When?"

"Tomorrow." She replied, holding her hands behind her back. "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner it's just if you tried to convince me to stay I would have because you know, I can never say no to you."

You stared at her, blinking at her response. "Oh." There was silence for another moment before you spoke up again. "That's really cool Nini, I hope you have fun."

She let out a breath as she smiled, nodding her head at you. "Thanks."

So the years went by, I stayed the same, but she began to drift away, I was left alone, Still, I waited for the day, When she'd say, "I will always love you"

You hadn't talked to Nini since August. She just never got around to your text, and when she did it was simple one-word answers instead of her usual 3-4 sentence answers about anything.

You walked alone into the school, students swarming the halls as they chatted and goofed around before the first bell rang. You hadn't seen Nini yet, and you couldn't decide if you should be relieved or concerned due to her going m.i.a on you only.

You yelped when someone almost ran into you, looking up to see Ricky standing in front of you, Big Red trailing behind.

"Did you know Nini was going to break up with me?" He breathed out, his curls falling in front of his eyes.

You shook your head, "I didn't know anything about that."

"Aren't you like one of her best friends? Doesn't she tell you about this kind of junk?"

"I wouldn't know Ricky, Nini went m.i.a on me since August. I wish I could help you but I really can't." You responded, walking away from Ricky, accepting the sympathetic smile Big Red gave you.

Lonely and Forgotten, Never thought she'd look my way.

Lunch finally came after three hours of 'get to know me' worksheets and power points from teachers. You sat with Ashlyn, a nice girl who gladly welcomed you to sit with her. You held your breath when nini started walking towards you, a guy trailing behind her.

And she smiled at me and held me, Just like she used to do, like she loved me

"Hi Y/n."

You glanced up at her for a mere second, still catching the frown that made its way to her lips. "Hey."

"I'm sorry I ghosted you, I was caught up with camp." You nodded, looking up at her. She wrapped her arms around your neck, your arms automatically wrapping around her waist. She held you for longer than you expected, squeezing you before releasing.

"I love you, you know?" She said, tilting her head at you.

You stared at her, heart twinging in pain because she didn't love you the way you loved her. "Yeah." You finally said, nodding. "I love you too."

She nodded, hugging you once more before getting up, linking her arm with the guy who trailed behind her. "I'll see you around okay?" You nodded, watching her leave, blinking back whatever tears that wanted to come out.

You bid goodbye to Ashlyn and her other friend, walking out of the cafeteria. Ricky popped up in front of you, a solemn expression on his face. "I overheard your guys' conversation." He paused, eyes darting around. "I saw the way you looked at her." You sucked in a deep breath, closing your eyes as you ducked your head down. "I am so sorry Y/n."

Your head picked up when he placed a hand on your shoulder, your lips pressed in a thin line. "You don't have to apologize to me, Ricky. Every hour I spent with Nini lives within my heart. And I'll remember when she loved me." You wiped the stray tear that fell, nodding as you let out a breath. You accepted the hug he offered, picking at the sherpa fur of his jean jacket before pulling away. You smiled half-heartedly at him, "Thank you." He smiled back at you, nodding. "I'll see you around Ricky."

When somebody loved me, Everything was beautiful, Every hour spent together, Lives within my heart When she loved me

warnings ── none

It had taken weeks. So many sleepless nights, cancelled plans and cups of energy drinks poured into espressos. But I'd finally done it, I'd survived exam week.

Walking out of my last exam, I felt like I'd not just passed, but I'd actually done well. All that cramming must have payed off.

I was on my way back to my dorm, when I heard my name being called. Turning around, I was met with a slightly out of breath Nini.

Nina Salazar-Roberts and I had met on orientation day of freshman year. She may or may not have bumped into me, an accident that resulted in coffee stains all over my favourite sweater, but we'd got along incredibly well since then.

"Hey, Neens. What's up?" I brushed a piece of hair out of my face and readjusted my backpack.

"You just finished your last exam, right?" She asked, catching her breath. I nodded, and she fidgeted with a guitar pick on the edge of a silver chain. Taking a deep breath, she looked around, trying to seem nonchalant. "Great! I did too! Uh, so I was wondering if- I know you've been studying really hard lately, and I thought you might want to unwind and forget about school for a bit- it's just, me and a few of my friends were thinking of going bowling tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come? We were going to grab some pizza after. You can say no, I'm sure you've got other friends you want to hang out with and- "

"Nini," I placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and she opened and closed her mouth a few times. "You're rambling. I'd love to come with you, if I'm not intruding,"

"Great! Great, yeah, sure, I'll text you the details! See you tonight!" Her tan cheeks acquired a slightly more pink tone than usual as she nodded again. "Bye!”

Nini had texted me an hour later with a location and a list of people that were going. There was, Ashlyn, the girl who lived across the hall from me, Seb and Carlos, two boys I had spoken to a few times and Ricky, someone I'd never met but knew a little bit about from getting to know Nini.

Ricky and Nini had been best friends since kindergarden, her lifelong nickname stemming from the fact he couldn't say Nina. They had dated their entire sophomore year and then broken up on the first day of junior year only to start dating again six weeks later. It was the fairy tail romance every girl wished for, but it didn't work out.

Nini had left her high school in Utah to attend a performing arts school in Denver for her senior year. Ultimately, the school wasn't the right fit for her and she returned to Salt Lake City half way through the year. She and Ricky had done long distance for six months, but when she returned they both made a startling discovery.

While Nini had been off making memories and honing her skills and having amazing experiences, Ricky had spent the entire time moping around waiting for her to come back.

So the pair parted ways, and apparently Nini had been heartbroken with the breakup, and it had taken her a long time to get over.

I found it odd that Nini had invited the boy who broke her heart not once, but twice, but I decided not to question it.

Three hours later I was dressed up, not too fancy but fancy enough; one of my brother's black Wrangler t-shirts on top of a pastel yellow long sleeved top, tucked into some high waisted jeans with some black high top converse.

By the time I arrived at the bowling alley, only Nini and a guy I assumed was Ricky were there. He had curly brown hair and a skateboard tucked under his arm.

Nini brightened considerably when she noticed my arrival. Assuming it was due to the fact she was uncomfortable around her ex-boyfriend I took smiled and hugged her.

"This is Ricky," Nini blurted out after a few awkward moments of silence. I smiled, introduced myself, all the things you do when you meet someone new. He seemed nice enough, but i was still a little wary about him.

"Uh, Seb and Carlos texted me, they said Seb's parents are in town so they're skipping out," Nini said.

"That sucks, I was looking forward to seeing them," I said honestly.

"I think I'll go get some soda or something," Nini suggested suddenly. "You guys want anything?"

Ricky and I shook our heads and Nini flashed me an awkward smile as she speed-walked across the room to the snack bar.

"So how do you know Nini?" Ricky asked, clearly trying to make conversation.

"Oh she bumped into me at the activities fair last year. We don't talk much but I'd say we're friends,"

"Cool,"

There was another few moments of awkward silence. I subtly looked to my left to see if I could see how far away Nini was. I saw her gesture to a woman who walked up behind her; she was letting people in front of her to avoid going back to the sandpaper of a conversation she knew would be waiting for her with Ricky and I.

I was just about to open my mouth to ask another generic question in return, probably something about his major, when he spoke first.

"So, uh... how long have you and Nini been together?"

I blinked. Together? Like, together together? As in the kind of together that Ricky and Nini used to be?

I was about to respond truthfully, that we were just friends, when I remembered the relived expression Nini had when I arrived. Without thinking about it, I said "two weeks,"

"That's cool,"

I didn't think it was possible, but Ricky somehow looked even more uncomfortable after finding this out than he did before. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut, staring at the neon designs on the navy carpet.

"Uh, I think I'll actually get a drink," I said, standing up. Ricky nodded stiffly and smiled. I walked over at a normal pace, not wanting to seem like I was that desperate to avoid talking to him.

When I reached Nini, she grimaced apologetically. "I'm so sorry I left you alone with him, it's just the first time we've hung out since we broke up, and I thought I would be fine because I had a bunch of friends to act as a buffer, but then Seb and Carlos couldn't come and I just got a text from Ashlyn that she has to cover someone else's shift and can't come either, and Kourtney would rather die than bowl after what happened last time, and- "

"Hey, hey, Neens. It's okay, it's cool, I don't mind," I placed a hand on her shoulder. "I completely understand, everything's fine,"

It took a few more murmured words of comfort and some shallow breaths from her before she calmed down, a tear slipping down her face. She wiped it away angrily. "I am not crying over Ricky Bowen for god's sake, especially not when my foundation cost $48,"

"We can leave if you want?" I offered. Nini took a look over to where Ricky was waiting, before looking back into my eyes.

"Is that okay? I know this was supposed to be us celebrating exam season ending, I don't want to be a downer. I'll get over it, I think I just need a minute"

I grabbed her hand. "Neen, what you're feeling is perfectly okay, I mean I would probably be the same if I was in that situation. Let's go get some pizza, and we can just hang out. Don't worry about it, I just like spending time with you,"

She took another shaky breath. "Thank you,"

We shook Ricky off with some lie about my dog being sick, which I'm not entirely sure if he bought. To be honest he seemed just as relieved to have an excuse to leave.

"Do you even have a dog?" Nini asked as she climbed into the passenger side of my car. She immediately plugged her phone into my aux cord, having claimed for weeks that she had the perfect playlist that fit my vibe.

"Nope," I replied as I pulled out of the parking lot. "How did you get here anyway?"

"Uber," she explained as she pressed shuffle, the car filling with some soft guitar before the voice of Conan Gray spoke up.

I still remember

Third of december

Me in your sweater

You said it looked better

On me than it did you

Only if you knew

How much I liked you

"Oh I actually really like this song," I said, glancing at her. She had a smile smile that she was trying to hide. "Hey, did you know Ricky thought we were dating?"

Nini gave a little bit of a sheepish cough. "I maybe told him just in case something happened," her face went red, from what I could tell. Her darker skin owed to her filipino heritage, and also the fact I was driving down a highway made it slightly hard to tell. "I know I should have checked with you,  I didn't even plan to, I just panicked. We'd been alone for like ten minutes and he asked me about you because you two had never met and I said I was your girlfriend," she hurriedly explained. "Did he say anything?"

"Just asked how long we'd been together," I shrugged. "It's no big deal,"

Nini fidgeted with her hands in her lap. "What did you say?"

"About two weeks," I pulled into the pizza place's parking lot.

Neither of us had noticed the song had changed until I turned the engine off and Taylor Swift started singing.

The rain came pouring

Down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breath

And that morning

Gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

I got out of the car, about to walk towards the door when she grabbed my arm gently. "Thank you, thank you. I mean, Ricky's not a bad guy, the opposite actually it's just... I don't even know. I thought I was over him. I am over him!" She rugged softly on the guitar pick on the chain. "I just appreciate it. I thought we were ready to hang out again, but apparently not,”

“Well, I mean, you guys dated for like nearly two years all up right? That’s a long time. Especially in high school,” I reasoned.

Nini bit her lip and nodded uncertainly. “Yeah, I just, I don’t even know,”

“Well, you’ll have plenty of time to figure it out, now come on, let’s come get some food,”

I’m Not That Far Away // Nini Salazar-Roberts

request: none

prompts: none

warnings: crying, not proofread

“Y/n, I’m moving to Denver.”

The room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Nini due to her sudden outburst. 

“What?” you mumbled out, feeling your heart break more with each passing second.

“I got into the Youth Actors’ Conservatory!” she said, smiling softly.

You walked over to her, not caring that everyone was staring at the two of you.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

She looked at the ground, not knowing how to face your eyes in this moment.

“I didn’t know how to. You were so happy when we got back together, and I didn’t want to mess that up. I didn’t want to hurt you. I’m sorry.”

“When do you leave?” you asked, feeling your voice shake as you asked the question, not sure if you wanted the answer or not.

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow! You waited until the day before you leave to tell me?! Nini, how could you? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“Ok guys, let’s give them some space,” Kourntey said as she ushered everyone out of the room.

“I wanted to! But I just- I didn’t know how to! I love you y/n! I didn’t want to hurt you! And then before I knew it, the time slipped away.”

You hugged Nini tightly, not ever wanting to  let her go. You just got her back, and now just the thought of having to say goodbye to her again shattered you. You couldn’t do it. How could you just let her go?

You felt her hug you back, a few tears falling onto your shoulder. You gently kissed her before pulling away.

“If you leave tomorrow, then I guess we’re just going to have to spend every single second together until then.”

“You’re not mad?”

“No, I’m not mad. I’m sorry for how I reacted, I just kinda thought we’d have more time before one of us had to leave. And besides this is an amazing thing for you! You’re definitely going to be famous after this!”

~~~

Before you knew it, it was tomorrow. And Nini was leaving. You hated having to say goodbye to her. You felt a few tears slip past your eyes. Nini laughed softly, and reached up to wipe them away.

“Don’t cry, cause if you cry then I’ll start crying.”

You smiled at her, and hugged her once more, savouring her touch, not knowing when you would be together again.

“I’ll call you everyday, as soon as I wake up!”

“Maybe not as soon as you wake up, that’s pretty early,” she said while laughing.

“Fine, but I’ll still call you everyday!”

“I’m gonna miss you y/n.”

“I’m gonna miss you too. I can’t believe we have to say goodbye again.”

Then you suddenly remembered the gift you got her. You turned around and grabbed a small little bag that sat on your dresser.

“I got you something!”

She smiled brightly and took the bag.

“Y/n you didn’t have to get me anything!”

“Of course I did! Open it!”

She opened the gift, and pulled out a small necklace with a music note charm, and (your first initial) + N carved on the back.

“Y/n! Thank you!” she smiled once more, while putting the necklace on.

“It’s to remind you that even though we aren’t together, I’m not that far away.”

“I love it. Thank you.”

“Nini it’s time to go!” her mom called from downstairs.

“I guess this is goodbye,” she said softly.

“No it’s not. It’s a see you soon.”

She smiled softly, and hugged you tightly one last time.

“I’ll see you soon,” she said, kissing you one last time before walking away.

warnings: swearing, underage drinking, unedited and written at one a.m.

note: i don’t know what this is but the song is so good and i watched the first ep of season two and this was born?? if you want a pronoun change let me know!

posted may 17, 2021

it seemed as soon as he broke up with nini e.j. found a new girl to entertain him. y/n l/n, she wasn’t a part of the musical. it wasn’t her lack of talent so much as it was a lack of interest, she figured focusing on her own music and starting a band would make her seem more serious.

she was pinning a band tryouts flier to the bulletin board in the cafeteria, unaware of the eyes on her. almost the entire cast of the musical was staring at her. nini sighed, “guys, stop. she’s gonna notice us staring.”

“do you think she knows what happened with you guys.” carlos asked, turning back to face her, leaning in to hear her answer.

“no. i don’t know. i shouldn’t care, it’s just- whatever.” she groaned, pushing her food around with her fork.

“convincing.” seb commented.

“i know he’s my cousin but honestly e.j.’s a bit of a whore.” ashlyn muttered causing the table to laugh.

kourtney leaned into nini’s shoulder, “let’s give y/n the benefit of the doubt and say she has no idea?”

“i mean how could she? she’s not part of the musical, she focused on her band.” ashlyn explained.

“wait, she has a band?” carlos asked.

“she’s starting one, she plays guitar and drums but she wanted a drummer another guitar and singer. i think that’s what she was putting on the board.” ashlyn shrugged, everyone looked at her confused, “what? we used to hang out.”

“wait, really?” nini wondered.

“yeah, she’s actually really nice. and really talented, girl can really shred. you guys would really getting along, you know if you forget about my stupid cousin.”

nini laughed along with the group, her eyes fell back to y/n who was now sitting with e.j. and his friends. maybe they could be friends.

it turns out e.j. is really bad with girlfriends because it only took a few weeks for them to break up, no one could really figure out why though just that y/n left school wednesday crying and didn’t come back until the following monday.

a few days later y/n caught her on her way to rehearsals for the musical, “hey, nini. can i ask you something?”

“yeah, sure.” nini was hesitant but thought on what ashlyn said.

“so you write songs right?” nini nodded and y/n continued, “so i’m writing this song for my band and i was wondering if you could give me some pointers. i know you probably won’t want to because of e.j. actually forget i asked, it was stupid.”

y/n turned to walk away before nini stopped her, “y/n wait. i can help you, come on.”

“where are we going?”

“i have to go to rehearsal and since they’re not doing any gabriella scenes we can work on it in the auditorium.” she motioned for the girl to follow her.

“hi, miss jenn. this is y/n, is it okay if we sit over there while you’re going over the scenes i’m not in?”

“of course. nice to meet you y/n.” miss jenn smiled.

they sat a few rows back, behind miss jenn and y/n pulled out a notebook, “it’s really rough right now. and it’s kind of embarrassing but you can look at it.”

nini was quiet as she read over the lyrics she had written down. “is the about?”

“yes.” y/n said quickly, “sorry if that’s weird.”

“no it’s okay, i actually really like it.”

“i was just really angry when he ended it- and did you know he’s already seeing someone else?”

“really? it hasn’t even been a week!”

“i know! she’s a cheerleader i guess.”

“and here i thought his type was musicans.”

“right? from what i’ve heard they’ve been off and on since his sophomore year and they started hooking up again while he was still seeing me.”

“i guess ashyln was right about her whore statement.”

y/n laughed and they continued to work on the song together. by the end of rehearsal everyone was talking about how two of e.j.’s exes had created a bond, at one point e.j. himself noticed the pair and looked like he was going to be sick. the girls finished the song and were getting ready to leave.

“hey, would you actually like to join my band, i need another singer and your voice is killer. we’re playing a party tomorrow night.”

“i would love to, will this song be on this set?” she asked.

“of course, imagine e.j.’s face when he sees two of his exes singing about him.” y/n laughed.

the two girls left and later that evening nini met the rest of the band (y/n managed to find a drummer and bassist a week ago) and practiced their new song as well as a couple of covers for the party.

the next evening, which was a friday, the band found themselves at the party. y/n couldn’t remember the name of whose house they were at though, a friend of a friend who offered her band to play.

y/n passed around shots of tequila to her bandmates “for the nerves” she had put it before downing hers with a groan. the rest followed suit before they made their way in to the basement, where the main part of the party was and where their instruments were set up. y/n pulled her guitar off the stand and plugged it in, she grabbed the microphone and adjusted it.

“hi, i’m y/n and first song i want to sing is an original written by myself and the amazing nini.” y/n motioned to nini who stood next to her, “this song is for anyone whose ever gone through a breakup where their ex got off better than they did, this is good 4 u, enjoy!”

y/n nodded to the bassist who began playing and nini started in with the first verse with y/n doing back up vocals,

“well good for you, i guess you moved on really easily

you found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks

remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world”

y/n leaned into the mic and continued with the next line, 

“and good for you, i guess that you've been working on yourself

i guess that therapist i found for you, she really helped

now you can be a better man for your brand new girl”

the drummers began playing and y/n began strumming her guitar and nini leaned into their shared mic as they both sang the chorus,

“well good for you

you look happy and healthy, not me

if you ever cared to ask

good for you”

y/n and nini smiled at each other as they continued,

“you're doing great out there without me, baby

god, i wish that i could do that

i’ve lost my mind

i’ve spent the night

crying on the floor of my bathroom

but you're so unaffected, i really don't get it

but I guess good for you”

y/n took the next verse and nini did the back up vocals. y/n joined nini to sing,

“baby what the fuck is up with that?

nini continued the next verse on her own with y/n joining in on the chorus again. y/n sang the bridge on her own before they both sang the chorus. they both found e.j. in the crowd as they sang. the girls smiled at one another before locking eyes with the boy to finish out their song,

“well, good for you, i guess you moved on really easily”

the crowd of excited, drunk teenagers cheered as the song ended. “i hope you all liked that!” y/n announced, out of breath. she looked at nini who was smiling just as widely as she was. she pulled the girl into a hug (being mindful if the guitar hanging around her). they bowed and nini grabbed the mic, “we will be taking a short break but we will be back!”

the band shared a group hug before breaking apart to find a drink or friends. carlos, ashlyn, and kortney quickly found nini who was with y/n looking for water. “that was amazing!” carlos squealed, pulling nini in for a hug followed by the two girls.

“y/n, that was incredible!” ashlyn gushed, hugging her as well, “i’ve missed hanging out with you so much!”

“i have too!” y/n exclaimed.

“hate to interrupt but can we please go find some water?” nini shouted over the music someone put on. y/n nodded and threw her arm over nini’s shoulder before they began their search.
