John Doe: Finally! You’re proposing!
You: How’d you know?
John Doe: You, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.
John Doe: I even picked it up once.

The elevator in the Hopkins Building was notorious for being a little sketchy. Horror stories about the lift stalling, potentially trapping its riders within it, floated around campus, eventually making its way to your friend group.
"I swear to God, I was in there one day, just trying to go upstairs, and the fucking death contraption stops." Mindy had told each of you the exaggerated story, her hands waving around and the intonation of her voice working as if she was telling a ghost story at summer camp. Which, is mostly why you didn't believe her.
Yes, you didn't want to even think about being trapped in the older elevator, but you also didn't want to have to deal with the monstrous stairs in the Hopkins building. There were many a times where you'd almost gotten calf cramps from them, so the elevator was the better option for you.
Unfortunately, the elevator also happened to be favored by Ethan Landry. Your (one sided) mortal enemy.
Just like any other Thursday afternoon, you wanted to use the mostly-frowned-upon elevator to go to the fifth floor, and due to its reputation you'd expected to be alone. Like you usually were. Your headphones were in, you were finishing off the last minute of one of your favorite songs, and the elevator door was sliding closed with the intention to take you to your class.
Until a white hand sticks between the metal doors, forcing them back open to reveal the brick wall of the corridor, and one flustered Ethan Landry.
"Oh," he says as he steps into the space. "Didn't know you were in here." The way he says it just oozes attitude, and yeah, you would've said the same. But it's only okay when you say it.
"No offense," he adds, as if it makes it any better.
You shrug, step over for him to press his floor, and turn your music up just a bit more.
As aforementioned, the elevator is old. It's slow. It shakes a bit. But it gets the job done. Usually.
You've spent months defending your favorite elevator. So why would it decide to slow down between the third and fourth floors? Why would the old-timey dial that shows which floor its on slow to a stop between the 'III' and 'IV'?
And worst of all, why would this happen with Ethan Landry, out of all people, standing to your left?
You can only blame it on bad luck.
"No, no, no, no." Ethan's already starting to freak out. You pull your headphones down, pausing your music, to watch Ethan frantically push the '4' button as if that would help. "Jesus, fuck, c'mon."
He starts to push the other buttons; open, close, three, two, ground. You roll your eyes, fighting off your own feelings of panic.
"The phone, Ethan."
He glances over his shoulder at you, his eyebrows furrowed before he nods. "The phone. Yeah. Right."
He reaches for the red phone, putting it to his ear and pushing the button with the firefighter helmet. You wait, playing with your fingers, twiddling your thumbs. But Ethan doesn't start speaking.
He pushes it again, waits. Nothing. He pushes it again, waits. Nothing.
"Ethan..." you start, your voice starting to sound worried.
"It's not..." He pushes it again. Nothing! Ethan slams the phone back onto the receiver, wrings his hair between his hands, and turns to face you. "It won't work."
It won't work. What are the fucking odds.
"So we're trapped in an elevator that doesn't have a working phone?" You know the situation is quite clear, but you're still asking for clarification.
Ethan nods.
"Fuck!"
You and Ethan tried ringing the alarm, but there wasn't another sound on the other side. You didn't even know if the alarm worked.
You knew the elevator was old, but you didn't know it was this old. Taking a look at the certification on the wall, you notice for the first time that the elevator wasn't serviced or checked in ten years. Ten.
"When we make it out of here, I'm suing Blackmore for all it's worth," you tell Ethan.
He snorts, and the sound shockingly isn't annoying to you. "Let me in on the case?"
You turn your head, hair sliding along the metal wall when you face him head on. "As long as our cut is equal."
"Deal."
It's silent for a few seconds. Ethan speaks first.
"Do you have any service?" You pull your phone out from your sweatshirt pocket, seeing that there was nothing but three dots in the top corner of your phone.
"Nope. You?"
Ethan shakes his head without checking his phone. "Nope. Plus my phone's on 10 percent."
"Who doesn't charge their phone before class?"
He shrugs, avoiding your eye as his ears turn a light hue of pink. "I was watching a 5 hour video essay about Victorious and fell asleep without plugging my phone in."
That makes you laugh. Maybe because the proximity, maybe because that's something you could see him doing, or maybe it's just because you like Ethan Landry more than you would admit without the circumstances.
"Was it a good video at least?"
"I wouldn't know. Fell asleep within the first 10 minutes."
It's weird how well conversation flows between you and Ethan when you're not holding onto a randomly formed grudge against him.
Topics switch at the drop of a hat, caused by a word or something brought up in a previous sentence. You find yourself smiling, cracking jokes, genuinely interested in the things that Ethan has to say. And you also find yourself sitting closer and closer to him, both of you sitting with your legs crossed, the proximity causing your knees to bump into each other occasionally.
The touch is nice. You don't mind it.
"You know," Ethan starts. You hum, turning to look at him. "Up until today I thought you hated me."
You hold in a laugh. "Well, that's because I do. I did."
His eyes widen a bit, a halfhearted smile threatening to stretch across the expanse of his pink lips. You find yourself staring at them, having to blink twice to bring yourself back.
"I knew it!" He seems overjoyed, as if he just discovered a 200 year old treasure and not that a member of his friend group has hated him for practically no reason.
"I wasn't really attempting to be discreet about it."
"Still, I thought maybe it was just me. The others said that's just how you were," nice that they would lie for you, "so I thought I was going crazy."
A beat where you're noticing how nice Ethan's lips are.
"Did I ... do something wrong? Something for you to hate me?"
They're so pink, and unexpectedly plump for him to be a White boy.
"Uh ... no."
What would it feel like to kiss them? Does he even know how to kiss?
"Then why did you treat me like that?"
Fuck it. Never know until you try.
You're pushing yourself forward, hands landing on his shoulders to keep yourself steady while you push your lips to his. It's chaste, nothing short of a longer, closed-mouthed peck. And as you're pulling away, you think about how stiff he was and how you should've asked first.
"Sorry," you're immediately apologizing, scooting a few inches away from him. "I should've asked first. I'm sorry."
You watch his reaction, watching how stoic he is, his lips still parted and his eyes unblinking.
You stand to your feet, just to do something other than sit there, and decide to walk over to the phone. You knew that it didn't work, but it's better than sitting there in an awkward silence that existed because of you.
You pull the phone off of its receiver, putting it to your ear, and immediately hear a dial tone. Your eyebrows furrow, your finger reaches out to press the firefighter button.
It rings, and rings. You wait, and wait.
"Hello?"
"Holy shit. Ethan, it's working!"
You hear shuffling, then you see Ethan's body from your peripheral. You talk to the firefighter, telling him about how you and Ethan had been stuck in the elevator in Hopkins Building for the past half hour, and a sigh of relief leaves your body when he tells you that someone will be out to help in the next 15 to 20 minutes.
The receiver is back where it belongs, you have a new sense of hope and happiness, and you turn to face Ethan with a smile on your face.
Before you can even truly realize it, his hands are on your cheeks and his lips are pushed to yours.
The time, he kisses you. It's soft, slow, gentle, a little shaky, but it's a solid kiss.
With his hands holding your cheeks, and his large body crowding your frame, you melt into the kiss. There's not a single thought, even a slither, of resentment towards Ethan. In fact, the only thought you have in your head is Ethan.
How his smell is just right, musky, sweet, a hint of something strong that soothes you. How his hands are oddly soft. How the heat from his body is comforting. How good it feels to kiss him.
However, you can't continuously kiss Ethan without needing a little more oxygen, so you eventually pull back.
Ethan looks a little shocked when you do, his hands reluctantly dropping from your face but you watch his fingers twitch as if he wants to be touching you again.
"Um..." he starts. You look up at him with bright eyes. "Would you wanna go on a date sometime?"
God bless the sketchy elevator in Hopkins Building.
Imagine Yandere!Dano!Riddler, forcefully breaking into your home with a deganged love confession breaking past his lips in the form of sobs and screams. For minutes, you were forced to listen to the ramblings of a deranged man, your legs wobbling as they threaten to give out. Fearful, of course, you're frantically looking for places to leave. Edward noticed this and looked down at you, asking you if you love him back with a tilted head. Frantically, and mustering up the best show of acting you could manage, you tell him exactly what you think he wants to hear. You love him, you adore him, and you open your arms to invite him to hug you. Still, you couldn't hold back the physical expressions of fear you were showing.
Still, in a moment he was practically crying into your chest in apparent happiness, expressing how happy he was to hear those three pretty words come from your mouth. But, sniffling against your neck, he told you he just needed to ask you one more thing. Stepping back a bit, a disturbing contrast from the joy he was just expressing meets you. His eyes were blank, dark even. Smile wiped clean off his face, he stared you down intently. Finally speaking, your stomach dropped at the question.
"Why are you lying to me?"
