#and both their partners are being charming until they're left alone w each other. when they come back they just see wyw talking to a silent

[dragoncharming]

[beetsandskzreads]

silent bright summer night

bang chan x gn!reader, y/n works with skz and became their friend (the ultimate dream haha)

genre: tooth-rotening fluff, slight angst with a happy ending

notes/warnings: nothing intense, this is very fluffy, there's brief mentions of cheating, long distance, y/n's exes, fear of abandonment, slight insecurities, deep talks, reader and chan are slightly wine drunk, y/n and chan are whipped, y/n makes it explicit they want to date someone very warm and caring (aka chan), i don't think that's a warning tho djsjs just saying

scenario: on a balcony, at a beach apartment on a summer night of vacation, y/n opens up to chan about their past and current lovers. what y/n doesn't know is why chan is so interested listening to it.

It was 1:01 am when chan and I found ourselves in the balcony that overlooked the city and it's bright lights on a summer night. Skz had gone to sleep right after all of us came back from a night out of lots of fun, buying stuff on stores by the beach, having ice cream, seeing the view of the city lights reflecting on the sea water, appreciating street artists...

The two of us had been talking the whole evening, we hung out as a group but mostly just spoke to each other and laughed at the members jokes, both of us having a sparkle in our eye every time we saw the group happy. There was this unspoken pleasantness, a bliss, calmness in the air but with a lot of excitement. Chan was so happy to be around the sea with "the kids" as he refers to them and being at the beach almost 24/7 this week, it was like his natural habitat, his home, a comfort place. It left you feeling even softer for him, and as you shared your love for the sea, your feelings were at a peak. You liked Chan, and you loved this place as much as he did.

The night was so great, everyone was out like a lightweight as soon as we arrived to the vacation apartment we're in. Chan and I were testing the theory that a glass of wine would help us get drowsy and help us fall asleep as well, since we both have trouble falling asleep and felt nothing but a remaining excitement from the night out. It came to me especially because of the enthusiasm of talking to him, we were connecting so well, I didn't want this to ever end.

And so we drank (one glass quickly becoming the whole bottle) and we talked for what felt like hours on end, that neither of us wanted to cease.

- My ex best friend, she never quite knew how to choose guys, she always went for the ones that would never turn her way, the ones who obviously wouldn't care about her, not because of her, but because they were really careless guys, walking red flags. - I told him, I couldn't remember where exactly the conversation started but we were talking about nice people picking shitty people to date.

- What about you? - he asked

- Me? I barely even like guys, I mean I do, but I'm really picky actually, I don't allow myself to fall for cold people, I wouldn't forgive myself if I took interest in someone rude, I try so hard to take care of myself so I either stay alone that way or I find someone who makes me feel better, who knows how to take care of me, after all we chase happiness, I think a caring person could do that, someone gentle who isn't scared of emotions or who at least is open to face that fear with me by their side.

- I get it, it's hard to get by if you don't have emotional support, a partner should be able to provide that support, yeah. Did you ever... find someone like that?

- Yeah, in the past I did and even now I do know someone more than ideal... I guess my ex partners when I was young were going through a soft phase tho... I guess everyone has an emotional limit they were scared to cross... once I found that barrier the relationship stoped evolving, reached a dead end and so there was nothing left for me anymore and I left, plus, you know, cheating, long distance, a bunch of stuff really... it wasn't meant to be and I'm okay with that.

- What about that someone right now?

Silence ruled for about 3 seconds before I knew what to say. That someone right now is him. Ever since I've known him feels like he's the only man ever, but I don't think I'd tell him that, not soon anyways.

- What about 'em?

- What's that person like? What makes you trust they're any different from your exes?

- Sometimes I fear they're not, but I set the bar really high and I reset it constantly, to make sure I'm seeing it right, sometimes they seem so perfect to me that I wonder what good have i done in my past life to deserve to be around such a bright person. Of course they make mistakes too, but even the way they deal with them is so... mature, it's so easy to just solve things communicating, it's insane to me. Then I remember it's probably because they're eventually gonna leave me too, or just not reciprocate my feelings and after they break my heart I'll probably loose all hope in love, be heart broken for two years until I decide I'm gonna focus on myself again... it's a cycle after heartbreak, but with this person I'm really scared, because they mean more. I'm way too deep in before I've even expressed my feelings, it's gonna be devastating. - I'm rambling, the wine made me do it.

- What makes you think they wouldn't like you back tho?

- I'm not sure I just... it would be too good to be true and it's complicated... he's amazing and I'm just not sure if he'd be into me, I mean, I think I'm lovable and I think I'd be a great lover, I just don't know if I'm his type or if he'd consider me. We have a bit of an age gap, I'm not someone who's typically pretty or specially good looking, I have my charms but I have no idea if that's enough for him to be in love. It's complicated with each others work too... - I notice chan's gaze on me, he has his head leaned on his hand on the table and he's looking at me with bright eyes, eyes that look tired and a little drunk but somehow, he manages to look at me in a way that makes me feel adored, I don't know why you have to make me feel so much love, Bang Chan - Why are you looking at me like that?

- You have no idea how other people perceive you, do you? - he ignored your question, probably because of his drunk-ish drowsy state - Everyone I know likes you, see, you're a naturally kind and caring person, you're attentive to people's needs, you make sure everyone feels comfortable around you... that's so appreciated by everyone. I think you're exceptional y/n, you have this charismatic way of existing, a refreshing and comfy presence everyone can feel, but to me... it feels like home. You feel like home y/n. So... I have no idea who that person is but I sure as hell know they'd be more than lucky to have you as a partner and they're definitely dumb if they let you go.

- Are you dumb? - my heart's pounding quicker as I'm about to do something I didn't plan on doing ever.

- Huh? No, why w-

- Because that person is you... I like you, Chan. In a more-than-friends way - I interrupt him quickly before I lose my newly found courage.

Chan could've sworn his heart stopped for a few seconds. Suddenly sobriety hit him like a truck. It was the alcohol that made you say that, he thought, but he wished it was true and you didn't drink enough to be lying about this kind of stuff, you had a full on conversation and you seemed pretty sober.

- Y-y/n are you sober? - he tries to navigate through the situation.

- Oh my... yeah I am, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, it just rolled out of my tongue. I'm sorry... - you said as you panicked and tried to go back inside, regret filling up all your organs.

"I messed up" your brain keeps repeating as desperation starts entering your body, until Chan grabbed your hand, stopping you from leaving.

- Wait! You don't need to apologize, I'm glad you told me... You didn't think I'd say all that about you if I didn't like you as well, did you? - he asks suggestively.

- I don't know - you blush as you realize what he's getting at - You're just so nice to everyone, I didn't make a big deal out of it.

- Well, you should've made it a big deal, the biggest deal actually because I've been trying really hard to show you how I feel these past few days and you were so clueless I thought you were purposefully ignoring the signs because you didn't like me back.

- I'm sorry Channie, I just didn't want to assume stuff and get heartbroken if it wasn't true.

-Well it is true, so you don't need to worry anymore. I really like you too, y/n. And I've wanted to say it for a while too, I was just wondering if it was a good idea since you work with us, but I can't contain my feelings anyways... you always treat me so softly and you look after the kids really well... It just feels like you were made to be by my side, you're the embodiment of the person I've always dreamed to be with, and these past few days with the kids and you... it just felt like we were the perfect family you know? I don't think I could be without you by my side anymore... - he stops, he's been staring at your eyes the whole time and now they're starting to water.

How could you not cry when he's saying the things you thought you'd only ever hear in dreams?

- Why are you crying sweetheart? - he whispered, as he wipes a tear with his thumb, the other hand holding your hand as he stands closer every second.

- It's just... I'm so... happy - you smile through your tears - I'm so happy to hear that, you said it in such a beautiful way too... I feel exactly the same, it's like I've gained a family with you guys but you... I've grown really attached to you, feels like some parts of you are tangled in my heart in ways I couldn't tear apart if I wanted to... I'm drawn to you and when I'm with you it's comfortable, blissful, it's right. You're so good to me, it's unbelievable, but it's true, and it warms my heart. - you say as your foreheads touch and your smile grows, his eyes showing so much adoration for you, you could melt.

Suddenly you share your first kiss together, a soft yet passionate mix of sensations, and it felt like everything you ever felt around Chan but better.

You stare into each other's eyes, smiling like the little lovely goofballs you both were, noses touching, ocasional little pecks filled with giggles because you were whipped for each other.

- So this means we're exclusive lovers now, yeah? - he asks with a blushing face, a very silent giggle and a huge, uncontrollable smile.

- Definitely, yeah - you answer biting your lip until eventually you let out the largest smile you ever had.

Needless to say, you didn't leave that balcony to go to sleep that evening. In fact, you two watched the sunrise kissing and cuddling, talking about the feelings you had for each other, when they started, why you liked each other, covered by a blanket, not wanting to let go of each other now that you were openly romantic.

Han found you both sound asleep, you on chan's lap, head on his neck as his arms wrapped around you gently, on a chair in the middle of the morning. He obviously called all the members to watch you two as they assumed you two finally got together. All of them saw it coming, Chan wouldn't shut up about you and had written what could be an entire album about you.

They were happy at least you'd be around more often to cook your delicious food. And you both blushed really hard once you woke up to lot's of teasing from the kids, it was fine tho, you liked it just like this, it was home.

[earnestly-endlessly]

I was wondering if you know any Cherik fics where they're dating but it's w different people's pov? Or where people don't believe that they are together. They're not rude but they're just sceptical yk. Where they don't believe that one of them has a partner.

Thanks for the ask anon. I have to say that outsider POV is such a guilty pleasure of mine. There are some great fics out there that match your description. There are also a few fics that kind of match your description but deviate a bit from your request. I still think they fit the theme. I hope you enjoy!

Outsider POV - Don’t know that they are in a relationship

Work/Life Balance - pocky_slash

Summary: As teens, Charles was the star of a super popular tween/teen television show and Erik was his best friend. As adults, they're a frighteningly domestic married couple and Alex, Darwin, and Sean are Erik's nosy co-workers.

Rumor Mill - ikeracity

Summary:  Erik is the grumpiest, most foul tempered worker at Stark industries. His grumpiness is the stuff of legends.

So it's obviously the talk of the office when Erik is being made to go to the company party and he's bringing his husband. There's rumors flying round about how much of a masochist or equally antisocial bastard Erik's husband must be to put up with him. Others think he must be a meek mouse perhaps bullied by Erik.

What they weren't expecting was the confident, charming, adorable and unbelievably nice Charles that turns up on Erik's arm. What they certainly weren't expecting was how much Erik obviously adores his husband and how happy he is to let others see this.

Twice as Blind - Darksknight

Summary: Erik is probably the biggest asshole on the face of the earth, and because of this, he'll probably die alone. Charles is a complete flirt and playboy and, probably, will never commit to anyone ever.

(The lesson here is that when you have two friends who are BOTH secretly seeing someone, well, it's probable that they're seeing each other.)

For Argument’s Sake - Darksknight

Summary: The 'Science Wing Fights' are infamous, mostly because it's exciting to see two teachers really have it out, partially because Charles and Erik have the most intense and interesting fights any college student can dream of. So maybe a rumor or two get spread around to start the fights off, maybe someone mentions a hicky or the possibility of Charles seeing someone, but it's not like anyone's trying to instigate anything. Expect Raven. Raven will always instigate things.

Until they meet him. Then they all jump to erroneous conclusions as to why he took the position at SI. Tony Stark eventually sets them straight. After he busts a gut laughing, that is.

I Heard a Rumor (the Miss Jones Syndrome Remix) – iberiandoctor

Summary: A ring appears on Professor Charles Xavier's finger. The student body at the University of Utopia embarks on a mission to find its source, and makes an unexpected discovery.

X-Men Apocalypse's 1980s-era powered universe in which the name of the school is more than wishful thinking, at least on mutant-friendly Genosha. Charles Xavier is a genetics professor at the University of Utopia; Emma Frost and Tony Stark are his best friends; Charles’s students are extremely nosy and think they know it all. Erik Lehnsherr is… not what you'd expect.

Erik’s Fake Boyfriend - KatSquared

Gossip makes the workplace go’round - ximeria

Summary: Apparently if Erik is in a good mood, his employees have to ponder how that may have come to be. Their ideas are, however, wildly off the mark.

Prom Kings - Project896

Summary: "now that you've mentioned it, Im actually curious." Angel whispers so that Mr. Xavier won't have to give them his sad puppy eyes to get them back to reading their books.

"Yeah, he's been wearing that ring since he moved here last year, who do you think his wife is?" Raven glances up to make sure Mr. Xavier is still busy helping Sean understand the story, while doing so, she eyed the golden ring on his ring finger.

Bang! A boomerang is love! - magichistorian

Summary: Everyone knew Mr. Xavier and Mr. Lehnsherr hated each other's guts.

Right?

JJ´s Round-the-Clock Breakfast Bounty Platter - pocky_slash

In Plain Sight - archipelago (arcanewinter)

Summary: A story where Charles and Erik have basically been together from the first time they met. The whole fate, wow we found each other thing. Now I would like the others not to know and try to bring the two 'oblivious' guys together. They of course enjoy this quite a lot.

Nevermore - amarriageoftrueminds

Summary: [Missing scene] This is what should have happened after Raven and Charles' contretemps in the kitchen.

Everything Hits at Once - afrocurl

Summary: David's relationship with Charles is tenuous at best, but coming to watch the launch of Cerebro can't be a good idea. Can it?

For the Record - endingthemes

Summary: As prominent figures in the mutant rights movement, activists Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr are pretty much household names. When a romance scandal between them breaks, their celebrity reaches new heights, and though the increased exposure is great, there’s a big problem -- the two of them are just friends.

Too bad no one believes them.

Note: Technically not an outsider’s POV but everyone is wondering about their relationship and it’s just one of my faves.

[mysmessmistake]

Could you do the rfa + minor trio with an mc who seems really cold and rude, especially to them. They're actually really nice but everyone but them sees it because she likes them and she has horrible trust issues. Maybe they catch her at a bad moment where her cold facade breaks and they realise that she's actually really nice and caring. Maybe their thoughts for her change and they begin to like her? Thank you!

Saeran’s is pretty angsty, and there’s trigger warnings of self harm. I’m really sorry if I disappoint you, but I promise theyhave happy endings. 

Yoosung

he can’t understand!!!

Why do you hate him so much??? 

What did he do!!!!

He tries super hard to be your     friend too…     

And you weren’t this mean to     Zen and Jaehee!! So why him??? 

So why do you hate him?

Please don’t do this to this     small child

He seriously thinks he’s done     something so devastatingly unforgivable to the point of you hating him

He is as nice as he can be     around you

Which makes it all the more     harder

“Hey MC! I got some really     cool candy from my home town, would you like to try some?”

“No idiot. Candy is bad     for you”

Oh okay….

MC YOU’RE MAKING HIM CRY. 

He was just about ready to give     up on trying to be your friend or more

When he noticed you ahead of     him on the street, alone, petting a cat

He got closer silently, not     wanting to upset you with his presence

“You’re so cute, you remind     me of Yoosung. Oh! And Jumins cat Elizabeth. Both are very cute. Sorry,     but Yoosung beats you and Elizabeth” 

His heart skips several beats

He lets out a little squeaky     noise that alerts you of his presence 

You stood up so fast it scared     the cat away, you stared at him before instantly going red in the face 

“W-what is your problem     you don’t just stand behind people listening to them!" 

"You think I’m cute?”

There was no way you were     getting out of this one    

“So what if I do?”

He was so confused

“If you do why do you act     like you hate me so much!!" 

This poor boy had tears in his     eyes

Oh, yeah, you did that didn’t     you?

You explained your trust issues     to him, apologising for the way you treated him

He was silent

S i l e n c e …….

"You’re so cute" 

That wasn’t the reaction you     were expecting, you looked up at him to see him smiling

"MC, will you be my     partner? I promise I’ll be the best boyfriend!!! You’ll fall in love with     me instantly!!"     

"I can’t fall in love with     you twice”

You both go red in the face,     but you accept his offer     

Jaehee

what was your problem?

You were so rude!

You always gave her the cold     shoulder, what was the deal?    

She just accepts it, she’s been     disrespected before so it’s nothing new

But she’s seen you smile with     Jumin and Saeyoung, so why did you have a problem with her? 

Either way she tries not to let     your cold tone towards her get to her, and went on with her work

However, one day she had gone     too long without eating, drinking or sleeping

And while standing in the     office, she passed out    

She was taken to the hospital     because her nutrition was low and she was dehydrated as well as sleep     deprived and extremely low on energy 

When you found out, you raced     to the hospital, and from there oh refused to leave her side until she     woke up

A day or so later Jaehee woke     up to see you asleep on the chair next to her, snoring loudly 

“MC? MC?” She asks a     few times to wake you up    

You take a few moments to wake     up but when you see her sitting up and staring at you, you snapped

“Jaehee!! What is your     problem?? You can’t just go days without food water or sleep!! What if you     had of hit your head when you passed out? or passed out somewhere random     and got seriously hurt?? You could’ve died Jaehee!!! This is how people     die!!!"     

You had tears in your eyes as     you spouted your rant to her, deadly afraid something horrible was going     to happen to her if she kept this up    

"Wait, MC, why do you care     so much? All you’ve been to me is mean since you got to the RFA”

“Well I-”

Oh

Whoops

You explained your issues in an     awkward rush, you really didn’t want to stay long on that topic

Partly because it wasn’t     something fun to talk about, but also because Jaehees health was the thing     in question

“I’m sorry, really. But     that’s not important right now. You need to be more careful, dammit! What     if you get really sick? We all love you so much Jaehee, you can’t just     ignore your health!”    

She teared up at how much you     really cared

Without a second thought you     pressed your lips to hers    

“If you can’t look after     yourself, I will, okay?" 

Both of your faces were red but     Jaehee smiled and nodded    

"Okay, MC”

Zen

you were so !!!!!

But you were so ?????

It was just so ?!?!?!?!? 

Zen liked you, he had feelings     for you

But how??

You were so rude!!! 

And cold!!!

But it seemed only to him…

You even got along with Jumin

Honestly, Zen was at a lost.     He’s tried to ask you why you hated him so much, but each time you avoid     the question     

It frustrated Zen so much that     he went on a ride to his spot, after getting angry at nothing over chat

Jumin suggested you be the one     to go get him and calm him down    

He even gave you the spot     location

When you got there, Zen was     over looking the city.     

When he saw you, he barked at     you out of annoyance both at you and himself

“Oh I’m sorry, did you     want something?”    

You felt really bad

Zen had only ever been a     gentleman to you, and you were being so icy 

You didn’t mean to, you were     just protecting your heart     

You explained your trust     issues, trying to make it sound more like a reason than an excuse. 

“MC, you know I would     never hurt you, don’t you?”    

“That’s the problem. I do.     Which will make it all the more worse if you do..”

Zen felt bad

You felt bad

Everyone just all felt bad 

Zen took your hands, stared     into your eyes, and vowed never to intentionally hurt you

“Will you give me a     chance, MC?”

“Yes" 

He sticks true to his word,     through and through.     

Jumin

He doesn’t have time for the     likes of you

Or so he wants to think

Unfortunately he really can’t     get you out of his head and it irks him to no end

You were cold and rude towards     him

He has no idea why he even has     interest in you, you’re just like Zen    

But when you’re only with Zen     and Saeyoung… you’re not so closed and defensive 

Was it just him?

Was there something seriously     wrong with him?

Jumin did what he could to     ignore it, he just accepted how much you disliked him

One day you hadn’t been on     group chat at all, and you declined everyone that had called. Saeyoung     told everyone you were at a park and you’d been there all day

You were having a bad day so     you decided to hang out at the park    

Jumin read the messages and     decided he didn’t care    

He continued not to care as he     got in the car and gave Driver Kim direction to your location, heading     there in hopes to cheer you up    

He found you sitting on a     bench, and sat down next to you, panicking as he hadn’t thought this far     before     

There was some silence

Before the strangest thing     happened

Jumin began to make jokes

Really bad ones too

"What do you call an     elegant cat?”

“…”

“Purrty”

By the fourth or fifth bad joke     you couldn’t handle it anymore    

you began to laugh lightly as     you turned your undivided attention towards him

“Are you trying to be     funny or cringey?”    

“I was sort of going for     charming…”

This made you laugh harder

When you calmed down, you     thanked him for cheering you up    

“MC. Why do you… why do     you dislike me so much?”    

Oh right that doesn’t just go     away…

You sighed and explained you     had trust issues, and you were guarded around him because it would break     you if he hurt you

“MC" 

He gently forced you to look at     him

"I would never do anything     to hurt you or jeopardise your trust”

You gave him a silent smile     before taking his hand in yours 

The two of you sat quietly on     the bench, happy you both had a new found trust between each other

Saeyoung

oh yeah

Huh

He deserved this

This was how it should be

You should resent him for     anything and everything     

He was a horrible person so he     100% deserved how you felt towards him

He didn’t even question it

Even though he hadn’t done     anything specific, he didn’t question your coldness towards him. 

You were happy around Saeran     and Yoosung

So yeah it was him

And yeah it was fair

These thoughts plagued     Saeyoung, and Saeran wasn’t blind to this. 

Neither were you, but what     happens when you care too much?    

Saeyoung, out of stupidity,     decided to take a very high-risk job, that put his life on the line in a     number of ways     

Of course before hand he talked     over it with Saeran who didn’t seem to care that much

But when you found out about the     mission, after he had already completed it and returned, you flipped

He put himself in so much     danger! He could’ve been killed!    

without a second- or really     first- thought you rushed over to the bunker to confront Saeyoung

He was sitting on his computer,     but you wouldn’t let him put his headphones in and ignore you

“Are you insane?! You     can’t just go out and put your life on the line!”

Now he was really confused 

Why did you care?

“What about Saeran? What     if you died and left him alone? What about me? How could you just     leave?!”     

“Wait MC- what- why do you     even care?"     

"WHY DO I EVEN     CARE?!”

This was definitely the wrong     thing to ask

You realised how horrible you     were to him, you buried your head in his chest before explaining 

You explained the problems you     had with trust, and how sorry you were for just leaving him without an     explanation     

“I’m sorry Saeyoung, but     please don’t put yourself in danger, what do I do if I loose you?”

Now you were crying

He was crying 

You both were a mess 

He wrapped his arms around you     and pulled you on to his lap    

But you were the one that     seemed to be the one protecting him 

While Protecting yourself, you     forgot he needed to be protected as well

And so did he

He didn’t think you’d be     protecting yourself as he did…    

You stayed like that for hours,     even though time passed by quickly. 

He pulled back first, wiping     his eyes and looking at you    

“MC, I thought you hated     me"     

"Saeyoung, I don’t hate     you, I was scared”     

Saeyoung suddenly understood     why you were always so cold    

"I love you, MC”

Your face went red, but you     smiled as your hand caressed his cheek and pulled him towards you, quickly     pecking his lips

“I love you too" 

Saeran

fine

Whatever

You hated him

He hated you

Fine 

He didn’t care

Except that he did, a lot 

Unfortunately for both of you,     and for anyone watching your relationship unfold, he had trust issues and     you did too

You were both so cold towards     each other

The only difference was, he’s     seen you around Saeyoung and Zen, and you were fine

This made Saeran moody, because     he couldn’t just be normal    

There was so much wrong with     him, no wonder you didn’t want to be around him

One night these thoughts became     far too much for him, and he felt like he had to do something to stop them

You were on your way into the     bunker to return something of Saeyoungs, when you heard a clatter from the     kitchen and what sounded like sobbing    

You ducked your head into the     kitchen to see Saeran holding a knife 

Your eyes widened and you     rushed to him, scaring him slightly as you cried out for him to drop it

You took it from his grasp and     threw it across the kitchen floor, turning back to him with tears in your     eyes and frantic look.     

"Saeran! What were you     thinking? You can’t… you can’t do that to yourself! Why didn’t you call     Saeyoung, or me, or anyone else?" 

"Why would I call you? You     hate me! You don’t care!”    

He was screaming and crying, so     much inside of him was breaking    

So much inside of you was also breaking 

“Of course I care! I love     you Saeran, and so does Saeyoung. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Please, please     just don’t hurt yourself, not tonight. I can’t make you promise- I just-     please”

Saeran stared at you as you     stared at him. His emotions were all over the place and he felt stupid for     crying.     

The two of you stayed staring       at each other for what seemed like hours until you convinced him to come     sit on the couch with you     

However, you sat down before     him and pulled him on to your lap, lying back so he was lying on top of     you

“Is this okay?” You     asked quietly

“Yeah” he replied

You explained why you acted the     way you did to him, hoping he’d understand. 

“I’m sorry Saeran, im     sorry I hurt you”     

He stayed silent for a moment 

“I’m sorry too”

There was some silence

“You know I’d never betray     you MC. Not me. Not ever”    

You knew he was right, because     he had been tricked into believing a torturous betrayal

And even after that one was     knocked down, another was proven with Rika’s own betrayal 

You whispered everything you     loved about him in his ear, gently running your hand through his hair in     hopes he’d be a little calmer and happier 

Eventually you lulled him to     sleep with your words, his head resting on your shoulder as he comfortably     slept in your arms

Not long after you fell asleep     too

And Saeyoung totally got     pictures and sent them to the chat room, claiming he had “called     it” way before anyone else    

V

of course you disliked him

It was his fault you were in     such a terrible mess    

It made so much sense

To him at least

Though he couldn’t deny he did     feel a little disheartened when he saw how you were with Jumin and     Saeyoung

Nevertheless he brushed it off     and continued on     

He was content with watching     you be happy somewhere else that wasn’t with him

He didn’t really deserve it     anyway

However

On the night of the RFA party     he saw you admiring one of his enlarged photographs 

You were standing there,     smiling fondly at the picture of the enchanting little bridge with vines     growing all over it

“It’s quite a lovely     picture”     

One of the guests was     addressing you

You had no idea V was with in     earshot     

“Yes, it’s beautiful" 

"You’re the party     coordinator right? Does that mean you know the photographer?”

“Oh yes. If his pictures     don’t already tell you, he’s a very enchanting and lovely person" 

This guest had a twinkle in     their eye

This guest knew

V was red in the face and     trying really hard not to smile at your praise 

"Tell me, is this     photographer worth it?" 

It was a strange question, but     you nevertheless turned to the guest and smiled 

"Oh, most definitely" 

"Maybe you should tell him     that”

You turned to see V approaching     you, the smile still on his face and his cheeks still burning 

When you turned back around the     guest was gone

What the fuck

“You like my     pictures?”

You hummed

“I thought you hated     me”

You stared forward, a little     shocked by his words, but you knew you shouldn’t be because sometimes you     acted so cold towards him    

You sighed and explained why to     him, why you’d been so cold and mean    

He was actually surprised 

“I don’t hate you V. Quite     the opposite. I’m sorry" 

When you looked at him, he was     smiling happily but he had tears in his eyes

"A-ah! Don’t cry!" 

He was really happy

He asked you to accompany him     for the rest of the night    

Of course you agreed

Vanderwood

Saeyoung thought living with     the two of you was agonising 

All you did was give each other     the cold shoulder, or argue!!    

At first you’d ignored him, because     if you trusted him with your heart it’d break

But now you and him got in     headed arguments because he was a prick sometimes!

A prick you loved but a prick     nonetheless

Vanderwood thought you were     infuriating and tiring    

Also why did you dislike him so     much??

Huh??

What exactly did he do??

When you were around Saeran and     Saeyoung you were fine    

But around him

Noooo

You were cold and mean

Like seriously what was your     deal

Vanderwood only found out what     your ’deal’ was when he came back from a dangerous mission

After he had fought with you,     and yelled at Saeyoung, he decided to take a deadly mission

One that didn’t have an     extraction plan

Basically a suicide mission

You flipped when you found out,     and unfortunately Saeyoung couldn’t help you, you just had to wait

Waiting was horrible

But when he got back you were     ready to dig into him    

You completely forgot your     I-don’t-care-cold-hearted facade as you yelled at him

"What the hell is your     problem!”     

Oh great here we go, he thought

“You can’t just go on a     suicide mission every time you get angry! It’s stupid and reckless. What     you think if you die nothing happens? If you go missing? What if one day     you step out of that door and I never see you again? What if you never     come back?”

Wait what

Why 

What?

“Why the fuck do you     care?”     

Your eyes went cold

Obviously it wasn’t his fault     that he didn’t understand your feelings

But that didn’t stop your rage

“Why do I care? Are you     fucking dumb? I care because I like you dammit! You cannot run off into a     mission with no extraction plan and no contact with us to ask for damn     help! You can’t just leave!”    

He stared

“You like me?”

“Is that all you got from     that? Seriously?"     

He kept staring, suddenly     feeling such a large bash of emotion    

"But you hate me" 

You sighed

"No, no I don’t. I never     did”

You explained, and surprisingly     he listened, you explained how you built walls around your heart and kept     your trust away from those ready to betray it. 

“Tch, you’re an     idiot”

well excuse you princess

Your head snapped to him, a     little hurt and annoyed at his words    

“Why would I betray     someone I care about?" 

Your eyes widened and he looked     away, before quickly kissing your lips and grumbling a ‘I like you too’

You laughed, before dragging     his stupid ass down for a real kiss.
