May I Kiss You? | Noctis x Reader

Description: Will you grant the prince a quick smooch?

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: none!

                                                ------------------------

                “May I kiss you?”

                The sudden question took you off guard. You felt every muscle in your body tense despite the warm feeling rising to your cheeks and the butterflies you felt in your stomach as the prince dreamily gazed at you.

                I’m not dreaming, right? You blinked, wishing you could somehow inconspicuously pinch yourself to see if this was reality or not. Surely he’s not talking to me?

                “You don’t have to look so flustered.” Noctis chuckled while he still continued to peer at you. His blue eyes were always so beautiful and entrancing, and you found yourself unable to look away. “Or you can always say no if-”

                “No… I mean… yes…” You covered your face with your hands and Noctis only laughed more. How embarrassing! I’m making a total fool of myself in front of the prince! You took in a deep breath to try to calm yourself down. You can do this… He’s just messing with you anyway, or maybe not considering everything we’ve been through.

               It wasn’t exactly a secret that Noctis had more feelings for you than he let on, but he never made any moves on you besides flitting in and out of flirting. Out of all the years you knew him and worked by his side, he seemed as if he couldn’t make up his mind on whether or not he wanted to enter a romantic relationship with you. You were glad he was finally deciding to take it up a notch with you, but you weren’t sure if you liked his awkward approach. Even though it was kind of cute.

                “Was that a yes or a no,” he teased. You heard the heel of his boots click against the dusty stone of the balcony as he walked over to you. You felt his presence right in front of you and within seconds you felt his hands on yours. Despite the roughness of his hands, his touch was gentle as he pulled your hands away from your face. You locked eyes with him and that was the worst mistake of the afternoon.

               “I take that as a yes,” he whispered, his face dangerously close to yours.

                Why is he this way? “You could’ve just kissed me instead of making this awkward.”

                He hummed while brushing your hair away from your cheeks. He seemed to study your face forever and you were fed up with it. Out of your burning embarrassment in the entire situation you leaned in and kissed him yourself. It was seconds later when you realized this might’ve been the worst decision of your life.

                This was a horrible idea. You wanted to reverse your actions when Noctis didn’t kiss you back and instead stood there like a limp noddle. You started to pull away from him, but one of his hands grabbed your waist while the other gently grabbed the back of your neck to keep you from leaving. You tensed, but when he finally kissed you back you relaxed.

                The kiss was fleeting, but you felt breathless when he finally pulled away. When his blue eyes met yours you started blushing all over again and dropped your eyes from his.

                “Look at me.” He gently touched your chin to get you to look at him again. Time seemed to stop when he whispered, “I love you.”

                You were sure the shock on your face was apparent, but before you could react he pressed his lips against yours again in a slightly longer kiss.

              “I love you too,” you finally whispered once he let you go.

                His eyes lit up and a smile lined his lips before he kissed your forehead. He cleared his throat to say something more, but he was interrupted by Ignis’ sudden voice.

               “There you two are-” The older man fell silent once he noticed how close you two were standing and how flushed your cheeks were. “Bad timing?”

               “Really bad timing.” Noctis sighed and you giggled against his chest.

               “I’ll just tell Gladio you’re busy.” Ignis shot a disapproving look in your direction before disappearing almost faster than he appeared through the doorway.

               “Thanks!” Noctis called after him, but his words were lost in the wind.

               “Is this the reason you skipped out on your lessons?” You accused him and his cheeks reddened.

               “No… we just happened to be in the same place at the right time.” He feigned indifference at your question, but you knew it was true. He might’ve been lazy, wasn't like him to completely skip a lesson.

                He is right about that though. “Well, don’t keep Gladio waiting.” You gently pushed off of his chest to take your leave, but he grabbed your wrist.

               “But we’re not done here yet.” He pulled you closer again. “He’ll understand.”

               If scalping you is an understanding then OK, Noct. You bit your lip, not answering him right away. “You know he’s going to kill you later when he figures out why you’re missing.”

               “Then we hide.” He smirked. “So… care to spend the evening with me?” He cocked an eyebrow at you and you had to admit it was the sexiest thing he’s done in a while.

               You tried to push away your sudden embarrassment again and forced yourself to look him in the eyes. “Under one condition.”

               “And what’s that?”

               “You give me a proper kiss later.”

               He smiled softly. “That can be arranged.”

               “Noctis!” Gladio’s voice bellowed from inside the house. You flinched when you heard a door being slammed open.

               “Shit…” The prince groaned under his breath.

               “Your duties await you. I’ll catch you later.” You walked away from him and stepped back inside the house just before a very angry Gladio barreled past you towards Noctis. You did not want to be in his way when he was angry.

               I hope he doesn’t get in too much trouble. You kept walking, the sound of Gladio chewing Noctis out fading the further and further away you got. You pulled your phone out of your pocket when you reached the living room.

               See you after practice in the garden. You quickly typed out on your phone and sent it to Noctis. You weren’t sure when he’d be done with Gladio, but you were completely free for the day and you really wanted to see him later.

               “Heard your boyfriend is in trouble,” Prompto’s voice reached your ears just as you put your phone away. You looked up to find him walking towards you with a grin on his face.

               You scoffed at the word boyfriend. Prompto had always urged you and Noctis to get together, so you knew he would be thrilled to hear that you two were finally together. “Yeah, but when isn’t he in trouble?”

               The blond laughed. “That is true. Gladio’s going to keep him out all day now though.”

               You shrugged. “I guess I’ll just have to play the waiting game then.”

               Prompto grinned. “I hate that game, but you know… you and I can go shopping while he’s busy. Remember those shoes you were telling me about?”

               “And that jacket you wanted.” You smiled. “Let’s go. I’m driving though.”

               “You always drive.” Prompto scowled in mock anger as he followed you towards the front door. “When will it be my turn?”

               “Hopefully never if we both want to live.” You grabbed your jacket from the coat hook by the front door and grabbed the car keys out of the basket. “Now let’s get going and hopefully by the time we’re back Noct will be off of his punishment.”

               “Cool with me.” Prompto slipped his shades over his eyes and followed you out the door. “As long as you take me to get a milkshake after all of our hard shopping.”

               “Deal.” You smiled at him again as you unlocked the Regalia and slid into the driver’s seat. You could live for a day of shopping with your friend, but by this evening you were hoping to see Noctis again.

First Love | Chapter 1

Description: Despite winning Oh Sehun’s heart, Mina could never forget about her first love. Years later they are coincidentally reunited, and they both learn that sometimes fond memories are best left in the past.

Rating: NC-17

Pairings: Sehun/OC, Baekhyun/OC

Warnings: no trigger warnings; sexual content later in story

                                                   --------------------

                “So… I think it’s about time you meet the guys.”

                Mina looked away from her laptop so fast her neck could’ve snapped. She tried to keep her face as neutral as possible despite her churning stomach and the growing lump in her throat. That was the last thing she wanted to hear from him.

                “Well, you don’t look excited.” He huffed when she didn’t answer him right away.

                Leave it to Sehun to act this way.  She let out an irritated sigh. “It’s just… isn’t it a bit early, Sehun?”

                “Early?!” His eyebrows nearly rose off of his face “Babe, we’ve been together for almost half a year now. I think it’s only fair you get to meet them and all. They’ve been asking about you anyway.”

                “You told them about me?” She narrowed her eyes in disgust. He promised he wouldn’t tell them about me yet!

                “Woah, calm down.” Sehun rolled his eyes. “I just told Junmyeon, and then Jongdae figured out about it somehow. No one else knows. I promise.”

                “We agreed that our relationship was going to stay a secret-”

                “Yeah, I know, but that was when we first started dating.” A devilish smirk suddenly lined his lips. “Come on! Admit it! We both had no idea if we were going to even last one week together.”

                “Sehun!��

                “OK, sorry.” He held his hands up in surrender. “But you know, eventually they’re all going to find out. We can’t keep this a secret forever.” His expression darkened. “Maybe from the fans and the public but not from my friends.”

                She looked away from him as she bit her lip, wishing that she could just escape this conversation. She didn’t want to meet Sehun’s group members, not because she thought they were just a group of rowdy men, but there was one specific person she wanted to avoid.

                His name was Byun Baekhyun, and they both attended the same middle school and high school together. He was that annoying, bratty kid that always interrupted the teacher to make lame jokes and put bugs in the girls’ hair, but Mina found him attractive. She didn’t believe in love at first sight until she met him.

                “Hey… Do you want to share my lunch box with me?”

                Mina glanced up from her phone to find a boy staring down at her, his black hair nearly covering his eyes. She wondered why he was talking to her, but that thought was quickly overrun by how handsome he was.

                “Are you deaf?” Mina knew the question was meant to be mean, but his tone was softer, more as if he was embarrassed by her lack of response. He cleared his throat as he glanced towards the windows that showed off the main hall of the school. A few boys were peeking in the window, giggling at the scene before them.

                “I… yes we can share.” She began blushing as he pulled up a chair to sit beside her at her desk.

                “How come you never bring a homemade lunch?” he asked after a moment of silence. He carefully opened his lunch box, yet his eyes never left hers.

                She shrugged her shoulders, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze. “Don’t have the time to make one in the morning.”

                “Everyone has time.”

                “I don’t have a mom to help me out.”

                Baekhyun’s eyebrows creased as he took in the information. “Oh… I’m so sorry…I … I didn’t know…”

                “Don’t be. It’s OK.” She took the chopsticks he handed her, their fingers touching briefly. The static electricity shocked them, causing them to both pull away quickly.

                “Is that why you’re always so quiet?” He ventured after several more painstakingly quiet minutes.

                She shrugged. “Maybe because you talk so much that I can’t get a word in.”

                A smug smile crossed his features. “I’ll be quieter then.”

                Ever since then Baekhyun always started sharing his lunch with Mina, ignoring everyone else’s stares and questions. He seemed to be genuinely interested in her, putting in all his efforts to get to know her more as the school year wore on. He even started to walk her home, and would invite her and her dad over to his place for a family dinner. Mina saw it as an act of pity, until he broke it down to her nearly a year later.

                “Jesus Christ, I did all of those things because I love you Mina.” He wiped his wet hair out of his face, the downpour relentless. “It had absolutely nothing to do with me feeling sorry for you!”

                Mina felt like the world had stopped spinning as she tried to take it all in as he continued to stare at her. Her feelings for Baekhyun were clear since day one, she admired him, she wanted to be like him, she loved him too, but she was baffled he actually felt the same way.

                “I made all those stupid jokes in front of the class because I wanted you to notice me. You’re so pretty and you’re so smart, and I knew I could never compare to you so I had to get you to notice me somehow. All those times I would take you out to the karaoke place, every secret I told you… it’s because I loved you and trusted you. Don’t you get it now, Mina? I want to be with you.”

                “I want to be with you too, Baekhyun.” She thought the words would be harder to say, but the words she had practiced in front of a mirror for days, too shy to ever tell him how she felt, came out unremarkably natural.

                “Then why didn’t you say anything?” His voice was pleading, cracking at the end.

                “Because you’re so cool, and you have this entire following in the school!”

                “Mina… I’m not cool.” His laughter was terse. “You’re the cool one. You get the top scores on our tests; I shouldn’t even be talking to you right now we’re on such different levels.”

                “But…I’m not…” She blushed.

                “It’s true.” He gave her his dazzling smile. “So… do you want to be my girlfriend?”

                She nodded her head yes. “Yes.”

                “Great…” he whispered, his eyes twinkling with happiness behind his wet hair.

                “But can we get you home before you catch a cold?” She pulled him closer to her so he was halfway underneath the umbrella. “If you get sick and miss days, the teacher is going to be so pissed.”

                “Why worry about it when I know you can teach me?” He chuckled. “My place, or yours?”

                “Mine. It’s closer.” She led him out towards the school gates as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

                Despite his normal outgoing behavior, it took Baekhyun forever to kiss her. He actually asked her if he could kiss her when they were studying together. Mina could remember how warm his lips were against hers, and she could definitely remember how he tried to kiss her with tongue and failed miserably. She could also remember very clearly the first time they had sex, how Baekhyun nearly squished her, how clumsy they both were, how many times he apologized for hurting her, and how he insisted he had to make up for it later, but what she remembered the most was how hard he tried to make it the best night of her life.

                Baekhyun was Mina’s first love, and she never fell in love with anyone else when he left her.

                “No… it’s just I don’t think it’ll work, Mina.” The words seemed to be difficult to produce. “We both know that our careers are too much for us right now.”

                “Yeah,” she agreed with him, tears in her eyes she wanted to hide from him.

                “No, baby don’t cry.” Baekhyun reached out to touch her cheek, placing a gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth. “It’s for the best… for the both of us.”

                She wanted to believe that it was for the best, but she never forgot about him after he left to pursue a singing career. She never heard from him since then, but she was at fault since she cut off all contact. It was a stupid move, and she regretted it every day. She had no idea where he had gone, or what had happened him until a month after she started dating Sehun. She wasn’t really in love with Sehun, he was just someone to maybe heal her broken heart with his sweet words and in bed, but she felt her heart shatter even more when he showed her all of his group members and invited her to his concert.

                “Yeah that’s our leader Junmyeon and here’s Chanyeol. We’re best friends. And this is Baekhyun, he sings really well. He makes me jealous all the time…”

                She kept declining his offers time and time again to meet his bandmates, but she knew she couldn’t avoid it forever. She liked Sehun enough to not break up with him, but in that moment she wished they had never ran into each other at that stupid cocktail party.

                “Hey… are you feeling OK?” Sehun asked her, waving his hand in front of Mina’s face.

                “Yeah… sorry I was just wondering if they’d accept me or not,” she lied, holding back her tears at the fond memories. What does he look like now? Does he have a girlfriend now? Of course he does with his looks and talent… Would he remember me? No… he’s definitely moved on, and I should too.

                “Mina, they’d love you.” Sehun snuggled closer to her, his warm breath tickling her cheek. “But if you don’t want to meet them yet, we don’t have to.”

                “No, it’s fine Sehun. I think it’s time.” She bit her lip and held in her sigh. Maybe seeing him now will put my heart at ease?

                                                           * * *

                  “Just be yourself, OK? And don’t look at Kyungsoo the wrong way. He’s like super grumpy all the time, but he’s the only one you have to worry about,” Sehun coached her as they made their way to someone named Minseok’s place.

                “What does Kyungsoo look like, Hun?”

                “Oh, he has these really big eyes and really nice lips.”

                “It sounds like you’ve been spending too much time with his lips.” Mina laughed as Sehun turned a shade of bright pink.

                “I maybe kissed him once, OK?” He snorted. “But anyway, just breathe. You’ll be fine.”

                Mina wanted to believe him, but she felt sick to her stomach. She was nervous to meet everyone else, but just knowing her old high school sweetheart was within the building was enough to make her break out in a cold sweat.

                Sehun patted the small of her back affectionately as he led her to the main door of the room. He opened it slowly, announcing his presence.

                “Sehun-ah! You’re always so late!” A deep voice seemed to rattle the thin walls.

                “We ran into traffic, OK?” Sehun ran his fingers through his hair before turning to face Mina. “Come on, they won’t bite,” he reassured her as he led her deeper into the bowels of the place.

                Holy shit, I can’t do this. She nearly stopped breathing when a very handsome man met eyes with her. He looked a little shocked to see her, before a smile crept up his full lips.

                “Sehun, do you have someone to introduce to us?” The man laughed quietly as Mina averted her gaze.

                “Uh, yeah. Guys, this is my girlfriend.” Sehun slightly frowned at his girlfriend as she tried to hide behind him.

                “Does your girlfriend have a name?” A softer voice asked.

                “Don’t be shy!” Someone else cooed.

                “Ah, this is cute,” the same deeper voice from earlier shouted.

                Sehun grabbed her hand, squeezing it gently as he pulled her in front of him. “This is Mina; Mina this is Jongin…” He pointed to the man that had greeted her first. “This is Kyungsoo…” The man with the full lips and large eyes waved softly at her. He didn’t look as scary as Sehun said he’d be. “This is Yixing…”

                Mina smiled at each man in turn, trying to calm herself down as Sehun seemed to go through thousands of people. He finally stopped on a man named Chanyeol who greeted her a little too excitedly.

                “Huh… where’s Baekhyun?” Sehun asked the man named Junmyeon.

                “He stepped out just before you came in.” Junmyeon shrugged. “He said he’d be back though.”

                “Well, we’re missing one.” Sehun turned to Mina to give her a soft smile. “But that’s everyone-”

                “Did someone call my name?!”

                Mina’s heart dropped to her stomach at the strange yet familiar voice. It was deeper than she remembered, but it was definitely his. She looked to her left to find a man walking down the hall leading into the living room.

                “Oh shit, is Sehun here already?” he asked, first looking at Junmyeon and then Sehun. He opened his mouth to say something, but when he looked over at Mina she felt like a bomb had gone off in the room.

                She didn’t hear anything the other men were saying when their eyes met. All she could see was Baekhyun.

                He looks different, but a good different. He was handsome, just like he was six years ago, but he definitely looked older. His baby cheeks were gone, now replaced by a more masculine, mature appearance with his slightly pronounced cheek bones. His hair was slightly longer, healthier, and his nose was just a little different. He was taller, but not as tall as Mina expected him to be. Overall, he still looked amazing, and she couldn’t take her eyes off of him.

                “Mina this is Baekhyun… Baekhyun this is Mina.” Sehun’s voice finally reached her ears.

                “Hey,” Baekhyun said quietly, not skipping a beat despite his initial shocked expression. “It’s nice to meet you, Mina.”

                Her heart sunk at his words, but what else was he supposed to say? He couldn’t tell Sehun that they dated back in high school. Besides, he probably never brought her up to any of them. Why would he anyway? He’s moved on to a better life.

                “Nice to meet you too,” she said with less enthusiasm. She smiled at Sehun, hoping he didn’t notice the awkward looks she and Baekhyun were previously exchanging.

                “So… why is someone pretty like you dating Sehun?” Chanyeol asked as he still stared at her from the sofa.

                “That’s rude.” Jongin scoffed.

                “But it’s honest?” Chanyeol rolled his eyes.

                “When did you two meet?” Junmyeon asked as Kyungsoo excused himself from the room.

                “Sometime last year?” Sehun led Mina over to an unoccupied sofa.

                “You’ve known her all this time and never introduced us?” Jongin scowled.

                “We only started dating five months ago.” Sehun snorted. “Mina and I wanted to take our time, right baby?”

                “Gross,” the man named Jongdae exclaimed. “He calls her baby.”

                “Can you act right in front of company?” Junmyeon scolded him before turning to smile at Mina. “Well, I’m sure you take care of our Sehun well, right?”

                There was a slight edge to his tone, and she shifted uncomfortable in her seat. Sehun said he was close to his group members, but instead she felt like she was meeting his brothers. Some of them were protective of him, while others teased him, but they all clearly loved him.

                “Of course.” She felt the burning gaze of someone on her. She ignored it at first, but when it continued she turned her head slightly to find Baekhyun staring at her. He looked so concentrated it was scary.

                “I do everything I can for Sehun.” She turned to smile at her boyfriend again, suddenly wishing she could call this whole thing off and just disappear. She knew Sehun loved her immensely, but everything was so awkward with Baekhyun here.

                And he clearly remembers me by that look he gave me earlier. She snuck another glance at him, finding this time he was lost deep in thought.

                “Did I tell you she can cook?” Sehun gloated. “Better than Kyungsoo.”

                “Oh, why didn’t you bring something over then?” Jongdae playfully frowned. “We want to try Mina’s cooking!”

                “Do you two live together, or…?” Jongin quipped as he leaned on his elbows.

                “Hey, what are you trying to do?” Chanyeol hissed as Sehun turned a deep shade of pink.

                “I think they do,” Jongdae sung before bursting into laughter.

                Mina remained quiet as the boys shouted at one another, except for the few quiet ones. “Sehun, I’m going to step out for a bit,” she whispered to her boyfriend.

                “Do we need to go?” His eyebrows dipped in concern.

                “No, I just need some fresh air. This is all really overwhelming.” She patted his thigh reassuringly before excusing herself. She heard one of the loud mouth men yelling about how they scared her off, while Sehun denied it.

                As soon as she left the room and closed the door behind her, she let out a deep breath and sucked in all the oxygen she could before letting it back out. I finally saw him again. He’s so good looking and he looks so healthy! She closed her eyes as she leaned her back on the wall. There’s no way I can go back in there either with how much we’re eyeing each other. Sehun’s going to get suspicious and ask me about it. Maybe we should just leave now? I’ll just tell him my stomach is acting up again, and we can head back.

                Mina took in another deep breath before heading back into the apartment room. It was nosier than when she first left, and she swore she just saw someone’s shoes go flying across the room.

                “What’s she like in bed?” Someone hooted.

                “Who said Sehun was getting any action!?” Someone else yelled.

                Leave boys to be boys. She cleared her throat as she stood in the entranceway to the living room, crossing her arms across her chest as she scowled at the men before her.

                “Hey, there you are.” Sehun’s cheeks were flushed as he rose from the sofa. “Are you OK?” he asked in a quieter voice as he stood next to her, brushing her hair away from her face with his long, slender fingers.

                “What is this, a romance movie?” Jongdae whispered just loud enough for Mina to hear.

                “I’m not feeling too well,” she lied, watching as his eyebrows creased in concern.

                “Let’s go then.” He patted her cheek before turning to his group mates. “Hey, we’re going to head out.”

                “You just got here, and we didn’t even get a chance to talk to her!” Jongin pouted.

                “Yeah, I know. Sorry.” Sehun shrugged. “Maybe another time?”

                “Why don’t you bring her to one of our concerts? She’s never been, right?” Chanyeol asked. “Don’t you want to come see your boyfriend perform, Mina?”

                “Uhm, yeah I would love to.” She smiled at Chanyeol, but she couldn’t stop her eyes from roving over to Baekhyun. He was sitting in the same spot, his eyes still glued on her. His pink lips didn’t tug into a smile when Junmyeon cracked a dry joke, but his eyes still contained the bright shine they always did six years ago.

                Mina wanted to get into his head; she wanted to know why he was so transfixed on her yet would not utter a single word or even smile. His last form communication with her that day was a slow yet short wave goodbye when Sehun ushered her out of the door.

                When outside, she barely heard Sehun asking her if she needed any medicine before they went back home, and how she felt about the guys. All she could think about was Baekhyun, and all she wanted to feel was Baekhyun. She wanted Baekhyun back in her life, his lips pressed against her lips before he whispered how much he loved her, and every little quirk of hers he found adorable as he laced his soft fingers with hers.
