[otasuneyaoi]

got a new drawing tablet. hello everyone

[copperpieceharlot]

Bud I’m sorry to swing into your inbox uninvited like this but my soul is having an OOTS renaissance thanks to your content in the tag and did you say Leverage AU

haha holy SHIT this got Long. but yes. i’ve been. Thinking. (also literally Never feel like you have to apologize for sending me messages. i was Hoping someone would ask me about this. now i have an Excuse to share EVERYTHING ive written abt it :3)

Obviously, Roy is the leader/brains of the outfit. He grew up having some Strong Opinions abt what’s Legal versus what’s Right due to tragic backstory involving the death of his little brother which was definitely SOMEONE’S fault for negligence but since there technically wasn’t any illegal behavior, there were no consequences for it. Also he’s still angry at his dad bc he thinks his dad is also partly culpable (and also also just a dick). He’s the Moral Backbone of the team (alongside Durkon, more on that later) in basically the same way Nate was in og Leverage. He’s actually not the best at figuring out what people want (that’s Haley and, shockingly, occasionally Elan), but once he has that info, he is the absolute best at figuring out the ideal plan of attack to use in any given case.

Haley is still a thief. I mean she maps to Parker almost PERFECTLY. Her dad was a thief & a conman, her mom wasn’t but knew about it and mostly accepted it, but she died tragically in a mugging gone wrong or smth, which made Ian crank the paranoia WAY up and taught Haley to do the same in the name of “safety”. Let’s keep the “Ian is in Trouble and Haley needs money, Fast” which is why she signs on to the first job in the first place. She’s less acrobatic than Parker, tending towards finding (or making) weak spots in security, but she can still make a tumble check when she needs to.

Elan is the grifter who is somehow an Idiot but also not???? It baffles everyone. When he’s playing a part for a con, he’s FLAWLESS, but then the rest of the time he’s just. No Thoughts Head Empty. He probably gets lured in initially because he’s decided to try his hand at being part of a full team, rather than the two-man cons he’s been running that invariably end w his partner conning him as well and stealing half of his take. Also he likes the idea of being Crime Friends. He’s that tweet where it’s like, Roy: “after the heist is over, we split up and never communicate again” / Elan: [about to unveil his Crime Buddies Forever Friendship Quilt Puppets]: “never?”

Vaarsuvius is the hacker/gadget person. They have a Vaguely Snobby Yet Unidentifiable accent, dyed(?) purple hair (nobody has ever seen their roots) and nobody knows who they “really” are or where they came from, but they’re good at what they do so everyone just accepts the mystery. They probably got suckered into the team by their initial employer (who I’ll get to Eventually, lol) framing it as a challenge to their intellect, like, “oh, I see, you’re not smart enough to make this team work for you...” to which they were like Fucking Watch Me and also melted his computer. Anyways. They are joined (digitally) by their Intrepid Friend And Co-Conspirator (his words, not theirs), a fellow hacker known only as Blackwing, or, on certain forums, Blackwing_Bird. (In the first season, V only occasionally references him when saying they’re “calling in extra help” or smth for a particularly complex hack job. He starts showing up a little more in s2 and eventually by the start of s4 is a regular & established presence, but only appears as actions in a computer interface or output.) Elan is convinced he’s an AI, Belkar doesn’t think he actually exists, Haley pretends she doesn’t think he exists, and Durkon and Roy try not to think about it too hard, as long as B and V still get the job done.

Belkar is the hitter. He is on the team bc their initial employer got him out of jail for it. He doesn’t have a tragic backstory, he just likes doing violent crimes. As the series progresses, he grows some empathy & stuff, but really only for people who actually deserve it. Assholes still get decked. It’s all very touching. (Also he has dwarfism caused by achondroplasia. It doesn’t actually bother him and is useful in fights bc his opponents frequently have no fucking clue how to approach him, but he likes Pretending to take offense at stupid things just to see how far he can go with it.)

Aaaand last but not least, Durkon is the least involved member of the team. He’s actually a career criminal and Roy’s mentor, and wasn’t a member of the initial team that [redacted, I’ll tell you later, PROMISE] put together for a couple of reasons, the main one being that he’s Officially retired in order to spend more time with his family, which consists of his mom, his friend (not girlfriend) Hilgya, baby Kudzu, and a truly stunning number of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Roy frequently calls or visits him for advice and he Occasionally shows up to help out on local jobs, but generally he avoids doing crime if he can (as part of a deal with Hilgya, who is also a career criminal; basically, they’ve both cut back on the crime in order to provide a more stable home environment for Kudzu. But sometimes, you gotta do a little crime, and in those cases, Sigdi enjoys spending time w her grandson.)

NOW. THE BIG REVEAL YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Who got the team together in the first place?!

The answer: Lord Shojo (or whatever Normal Person Name you want to assign him). Now this is where it gets tricky: he had them do a thing that they thought was good, THEN they thought it was BAD, but then when they confronted him he revealed that it Appearing to be bad was actually a test of character and would they consider working as basically internal investigators for him? But then he had a heart attack, so, rip. But THEN it turned out that he’d left them a bunch of money anyway and they were all feeling kind of Inspired so they formed the Order of the Stick, LLC (which, no, i am not coming up with a new name, actually, because I just don’t care. someone else can come up w a justification for that name, tho, i’m sure it’s possible). Also Miko was there and was unhappy abt their actions, and also their general existence.

Moving on. Villains!

Redcloak is the Sterling replacement, because that DEEPLY amuses me.

Xykon is a season-long main villain, probably one that Redcloak finds himself working for but then “teams up with” (read: blackmails) the Order to bring him down bc even Redcloak finds Xykon distasteful. That’s season 3, let’s say.

Tarquin is another season villain, say season 2. Nale probably shows up pretty early in s1, actually, as another recurring antagonist like Sterling but uh. Less good at it. Anyways the s2 final 3 eps deal with them (accidentally) discovering that Tarquin runs some Evil Empire Company, then trying to outplay him and take him down. Idk if Nale still dies in this version tbh.

Tsukiko is a one-off s1 villain who returns briefly in s4 alongside Miko, who has gone well and truly off the rails.

Season 1 finale has to do w Roy finally getting Vengeance for his little brother.

The vampire squad is the s4 finale villain who do smth terrible to Durkon and then get the Mother Of All Revenge served up to them by the Order.

I envision the show as being 5 seasons (like og Leverage) but I’m not going to sketch out s5 because I think it should be based off whatever happens in the current story arc, possibly involving some legacy of the OotSquiggle.

Other stuff!

The Order of the Squiggle is a legendary criminal team from the 60s who stole a BUNCH of famous shit & then proceeded to legendarily implode. This has no bearing on the plot I’ve sketched out, I just think it’s fun.

The Sapphire Guard members should probably be reworked as FBI. I don’t care about most of them but I do think that Lien and O-Chul could be like, FBI agents who Choose to look the other way while the Order does their very-much-not-legal-but-still-fair Justice Crime, and maybe even help them out on occasion.

So, the Final season-by-season outline, based on everything I’ve written so far:

s1 e1: getting the team together, doing a con for Shojo, then at the end he dies and the gang is like “dang what now?" and intend to split up except then they Don’t.

mid-s1: Nale shows up and tries to trick the Order, but then gets beat like a drum.

late s1: Tsukiko is an underling of the Villain Of The Week, winds up in police custody. But She’ll Be Back.

s1 finale: Roy’s Vengeance: The Vengeaning. also we meet Redcloak as an antagonist.

s2 e1: the truth abt Haley’s father comes out

early s2: The Two Live Crews Job but it’s the Order vs the Linear Guild and the Linear Guild ARE all bad guys.

mid-s2: Redcloak returns. ugh.

late s2: the sapphire guard FBI makes its first appearance, hello O-Chul and Lien.

s2 pre-finale: once again they’re in conflict w Nale over smth, he spends the whole episodes making Cryptic Remarks, they basically beat him (like a drum!) but then the stinger at the end is that Tarquin reveals himself and Elan is like “Dad?!”, roll credits.

s2 finale, part 1: Elan is hanging out w Tarquin bc he’s DEEP in Denial, the Rest of the team tries to take Tarquin down, but it doesn’t work.

s2 finale, part 2: Elan finally gets a clue and they manage to beat Tarquin. still haven’t decided if Nale dies or not, but I’m leaning towards yes. also they rescue Haley’s dad.

s3 e1: fuck dude idk.

early s3: Redcloak shows up, AGAIN, everyone groans. he has blackmail on them, he wants them to take Xykon down.

mid s3: The Rashomon Job but it’s about stealing the Talisman of Dorukan and it turns out that Nale was there too (“oh!” Elan says. “I was wondering why I looked so weird in all those mirrors! But it wasn’t my reflection, it was Nale’s!” “Sweetie, that wasn’t Nale’s reflection,” says Haley. “Huh,” says Elan, “so the mirrors were broken?”, cue eye rolling from everyone else.), and the Successful thief was Hilgya, who’d nabbed it from the owner before it even went on display.

s3 finale: they beat Xykon, actually factually, because he deserves to get his ass Thoroughly kicked, even if only in AU form. Lien and O-Chul are there, so are some other less helpful FBI people. There’s a bit where O-Chul Exact Wordses his way out of telling his superiors about the Order’s less legal activities without technically lying. King shit.

s4 e1: doesn’t really matter. maybe smth to do w some legacy of Tarquin’s company to set up the drama w Malack & Durkon later.

early s4: Durkon gets SENT TO PRISON. Malack approaches the Order abt this because sure they have Different Ethics but they’re still Friends. (Roy is surprised and a little hurt that he’s never heard of Malack, but he ignores that in favor of Let’s Get Whatever Fuckers Did This To Our Friend.)

immediately after that: Miko and Tsukiko return as a Team, preventing the Order from working on the Durkon situation

mid s4: Redcloak makes another unexpected & unwelcome appearance but he’s maybe a little less of a dick? the Order collaborates with Malack & his Crime Buddies (hello, Vector Legion) to pull one over on him tho, because “less of a dick” does not mean “a pleasant or decent person”, and also he was mean abt Durkon being in jail, so he totally deserved it. he still gets whatever he wanted tho, just takes a blow to his pride. also prevents the Order from helping Durkon. they’re having a LOT of setbacks wonder why that could be, not to make sure the season fills its whole length or anything, no sirree

s4 finale: something something taking down the organization, headed by Hel (yes that’s her real name), which framed Durkon for their Big Crime. Durkon goes free and Extra Firmly retires, For Good, He Swears, but says he “met someone new” who might be an asset.

s5 e1: minrah joins the team! and the episode is set in like, somewhere really snowy. that’s all i got.

the rest of s5: don’t know, don’t care, it’s open-ended until the comic finishes up.

{ATEEZ Yunho FF} Love Yourself (part 5)

~Rating: Teen~ ~Yunho x fem.reader~ ~This is fictional~

Trigger warnings: Suicidal themes, self hate, cutting, and anything else that might be related

P.S. Sorry for grammatical errors/spelling mistakes ^^;

You were finally ready for your date with Yunho. You were wearing a maroon short sleeved over-the-shoulder crop top with a black skirt. You had a gold necklace and earrings as accessories.

You were currently brushing your hair when a knock on the door alerts you.

“Who is it?” you ask.

“It’s just me, San,” said San’s voice.

You tell him to come in and the door creaks open.

“Are you ready for your date?~” San asks in a teasing tone.

You smile as you straighten your hair. “I’m almost done,” you said.

San flops down onto your bed. “Probably not the time to ask, but did your parents ever try contacting you after you ran away?” San asks.

You shake your head. “No, not really. They tried calling me and left nasty voicemails within the first 24 hours of me leaving, but they haven’t really tried recently. I didn’t even have to block their number,” you said.

San hums in thought. “Eh, whatever. I hope the date goes smoothly,” San gives you a thumbs up.

Laughing a little bit, you silently agreed. Another knock on the doorframe makes you look over. Yunho was leaning against the frame.

“Oh hey,” you greet him.

He smiles at you. “Are you almost ready?”

You nod. “Yeah, just gotta finish straightening my hair,” you replied back as you finished up.

You grab a purse that matches your outfit and run up to Yunho.

“Oh, you look nice, Y/N,” Yunho says, a light blush on his face.

San grins at you two from your bed. “Good luck, you two,” he says.

You glare at him. “You better not still be on my bed when we get back,” you warn.

San grins back at you. “We’ll see,” he said, not taking your warning seriously.

Sighing, you leave with Yunho.

~

You both stopped at a local coffee shop to pick up some drinks. You had gotten a latte and Yunho got a smoothie.

“Why are you so basic?” you question.

“Basic?” Yunho asks, feigning pain. “You wound me, Y/N.”

You chuckle at his antics. “But for reals,” you try again. “Why the smoothie?”

Yunho shrugs. “It’s unusually warm today; I wanted something refreshing,” he says before taking a sip of his smoothie.

“Oh, makes sense.”

You let Yunho lead the way while you two walked. Your eyes caught sight of a light pink in the distance. Realizing what they are, you grab Yunho’s hand and start rushing forward, excited.

Yunho smiles at you and your excitement while you quickly make your way to the cherry blossoms.

You stop under the gently swaying trees. You stare at the pink flowers with awe in your eyes. You loved the cherry blossoms.

You were admiring the few that were already falling, and you felt a hand brush against the side of your face. You turn your head to look at Yunho.

He has a cherry blossom in his hand, and he brushes the hair out of your face. He puts the flower in your hair, behind your ear. He stares at you for a while.

“You’re so beautiful,” Yunho murmurs.

You blush at how close he is to your face. Yunho leans forward and places a soft kiss onto your forehead.

He backs away from you, but he grabs your hand and holds it while you two walk down the pathway lined with cherry blossom trees. Other couples were around, admiring the beautiful trees as well.

You take a sip of your latte as you enjoy the warm breeze and subtle scent of the blossoms. You let out a content sigh and close your eyes.

Yunho silently admires how peaceful you are.

After a bit of walking under the trees, you two stop at a bench to rest. You lean your head against Yunho’s shoulder, watching others’ lives unfold before you.

Coffee, warm weather, cherry blossoms, Yunho... today was almost too nice.

Your eyes drift to something shiny in the distance. You could see balloons swaying in the breeze. You point at them.

“Yunho, can we get balloons?” you ask, eager.

Yunho nods at your cuteness. You get up and start walking over to the stall with flower and heart shaped balloons. They were also selling cute bracelets.

“Should we match?” you ask Yunho, nodding at the bracelets.

Yunho blushes slightly at the idea of a couples accessory but he agrees in the end.

You get you and Yunho matching turquoise bracelets while he buys you and himself a balloon. You two help each other tie the string of the balloon around your wrist to make sure it doesn’t escape your grasp.

You both finished your drinks and threw out the cups at a public garbage and continued your way to the main park, hand in hand.

After walking for about 20 minutes, you notice a bright yellow stall with cartoony, cute ice cream and popsicles decorating the side.

“Shall we get some ice cream?” you ask excitedly.

Yunho nods in agreement.

You both walk over to the stall.

After a bit of thinking, you ask for a cup of lemon ice cream while Yunho gets a peach flavor.

You find a bench and sit down on it, Yunho sitting down next to you.

You hum in content as you eat the refreshing ice cream.

“How is it?” Yunho asks.

“It’s really good,” you say, smiling widely. You grab some of the ice cream with your spoon and offer it to Yunho.

“Say ahh,” you tease.

Yunho rolls his eyes, but accepts the ice cream and lets you feed him.

He nods in approval. “It is good,” he says. “Want some of mine?”

“Uhm, yes,” you say, opening your mouth, ready for him to feed you.

He looks taken aback at first, but he quickly obliges and feeds you too.

You gasp. “Whaa, that’s amazing,” you say, covering your mouth as you savor the flavor.

Yunho chuckles at your reaction.

While Yunho was distracted, you used your spoon and stole some of his ice cream.

“Yah!” Yunho exclaims. He pouts as you eat his ice cream.

Smiling at the puppy beside you, you offer your cup to him. “Here, you can have some more of mine,” you said apologetically.

He brightens up at that. He eats about the same amount you stole from him.

Enjoying the peace between you two, you continue eating your ice cream as you admire the cherry blossoms.

You accidentally got some ice cream on your cheek somehow, and you could feel the cold sensation. You were about to raise your hand to wipe it away when you felt a thumb brush against your cheek.

You turn your head to look at Yunho, a slight blush on your face, which deepens as Yunho licks the ice cream off of his finger. All while maintaining eye contact with you.

“E-Excuse me, sir-” you say, flustered.

Yunho just hums innocently.

Sighing at his antics, you finish off your ice cream, letting the cold treat cool your warm body.

Feeling a bit drowsy, you lean your head against Yunho’s shoulder while spacing out.

You felt Yunho give the top of your head a kiss before leaning his head against yours.

You were content.

You were happy.

“Y/N?”

You froze.

“Y/N? Is that really you?”

No... please, anyone but who I think it is.

You open your eyes to see your mom giving you the most incredulous look.

“Woow, look at you being so happy,” she snapped while walking up to you and Yunho. You felt a sharp impact against the side of your head.

Your mom had struck you before either you or Yunho had time to react.

“Y/N! Are you okay?” Yunho ask, worry evident in his voice.

Your mom scoffs. “Please, she’s had worse.” You mom grabs your hair, making you look at her. “How pathetic. You’re still a failure,” she snarls while forcefully throwing your hair to one side.

“Yah!” You heard Yunho object. “How can you say that to your own daughter?”

“Yunho...” you mutter. “Don’t get involved...”

Your mom ignores Yunho entirely. “I’m still really disappointed that you couldn’t even take your own life.” She clicks her tongue. “Such a bother.”

You grit your teeth.

“And yet you have the audacity to be out here, holding hands with some nobody, acting all happy when you haven’t earned it at all.”

Yunho nudges you. “Let’s get out of here,” he whispers.

You ignore him too though.

Your moms’ words were ringing in your ears.

I don’t deserve to be happy.

I don’t deserve Yunho.

“What are you even doing with your life, huh?” your mom asks.

“I....” you hang your head. “I’ve been practicing dancing and... and singing,” you admit, tears starting to form in your eyes.

“Hah, I should’ve known. The second you left me and your father, we knew you were going to go running back to that pathetic dream of yours. A singer, of all things,” contempt is obvious in her tone of voice. “You’ll never be good enough to be successful. You know that. Your voice is too annoying for a good singing voice, and you’ve been anything but graceful ever since you were born.”

You stood up and ran.

You heard Yunho call your name, but you didn’t listen. You had to get out of there.

You continued running until you got to the boys house. You didn’t even acknowledge any of the boys, not even San as he tried asking what was wrong. You ran into the kitchen and snuck a knife into your clothes. You ran up to the bathroom by your bedroom and locked yourself in the small room.

You slumped down onto the floor by the toilet and withdrew the knife from your clothes. You stared at the metal blade in your hands.

I don’t deserve happiness.

You thought as you brought the blade to your arm. You felt the blade puncture your skin and you noticed a dot of red start to form where the tip of the blade was. Tears were freely flowing from your eyes right now.

You didn’t want this.

You ran the blade quickly against your arm. You grit your teeth as the pain increases.

You cut yourself a few more times. You hunch over in pain, but you couldn’t scream. No one should know you’re doing this.

You heard a ruckus down on the first floor.

“Where is she??” you recognized Yunho’s voice.

You heard someone coming up the stairs loudly, followed by another pair of footsteps.

Banging sounded on the bathroom door.

“Y/N!” Yunho shouted, trying to twist the doorknob but to no avail.

“Y/N! Please!” Yunho banged on the door some more.

You crawled backward until your back hit the wall.

You could hear San’s voice outside the door too.

“Hyung, calm down, you’re only going to scare her more,” San said quietly.

The banging stopped, but you knew Yunho was still standing outside the door.

“Y/N, please,” Yunho spoke again. “Open the door.”

You were silently crying. You refused to speak in fear of your voice giving you away.

Yunho begged for you to open the door a few more times, but it eventually went silent.

You heard San’s voice again.

“Hyung, one of the kitchen knives is gone, and no one knows where it is...”

You curse internally. Yunho speaks through the door again, trying to get you to open the door.

You stare the blood that’s all over your arm.

He shouldn’t be concerned for you. After all, you don’t deserve him.

You press the blade against your skin again, letting the pain consume you until that’s all you felt.

~

It had to be night.

Yunho had never left. He was sitting outside the door. He tried to convince you to open the door many times. He was losing his voice with how much he’s tried.

You had stopped cutting yourself, but you still had the bloody knife in your hand. Your arm was covered in dried blood, and your face was covered with tear stains.

You heard some voices outside the door.

“Oh, hyung, thank goodness you’re back,” you heard San’s voice say.

“What’s happening?” Hongjoong’s voice was now heard.

Yunho speaks up. “Y/N locked herself away in the bathroom, and we think she has one of the kitchen knives.”

You heard some hushed talking and some shuffling around, but you just shrugged it off. They were just going to try to communicate with you again.

However, you heard a click and saw the doorknob turn. Hongjoong opened the door but froze at the sight of you.

“Y-Y/N,” Hongjoong murmured.

Joong regains his senses though and steps aside. Yunho hurries into the room.

He immediately grabs the knife out of your hand and hands it to San, who you assume takes it back to the kitchen.

“Y/N, what...” Yunho started to form a question but breaks off.

You looked down. You didn’t want Yunho to see you like that.

Yunho sighs before grabbing a washcloth from the bathroom shelf. He wets it and grabs your arm gently.

You stare at him through hooded eyes.

Yunho starts to gently clean your wounds.

You wince at the pain, but it wasn’t as bad as earlier.

Yunho sighs again.

You’re suddenly engulfed in warmth and Yunho’s scent. He had wrapped his arms around you. He was giving you a hug.

You tried pushing him away, but he just tightened his hold on you.

“Y/N...” he whispers.

You thought you had cried until you had no more tears, but you found yourself crying once again.

You were upset with yourself. You should’ve known better.

“I’m sorry,” you finally speak after hours of silence.

Yunho shushes you and rubs your back comfortingly. “You’re safe now. You’ll be alright,” Yunho whispers.

You cry harder.

“Please, Y/N. Whenever you’re hurting, please talk to me about it. I’ll be there for you. I’ll be your light in your darkness. I won’t ever leave you,” he continues to whisper words into your ear.

(BTS’s song Blue and Grey was playing while I was writing this and oml, it’s making me emotional)

“Yunho,” you breathe out.

He pulls away slightly so he could look you in the eye. “If you need space, I’ll give you space, but if you need someone to lean on, I’ll always be there for you. So please, don’t ever hurt yourself ever again,” Yunho pleads, tears in his eyes.

Realizing how much you’ve hurt Yunho, you graze your hands against the side of his face. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Yunho,” you apologize softly.

Yunho starts crying.

This time, you hug him.

You didn’t mean for any of this to happen.

After Yunho calmed down, he sits down next to you with the first aid kit. He was rinsing out your wounds with antibiotic. It stung, but you still managed to talk with him.

“I thought your depression was getting better,” Yunho said quietly.

You purse your lips. “It was, but the things my mom said today just reawakened all of those feelings, and it was too much for me to bear. I needed something else to drown out those feelings and memories...”

Yunho stares at your cuts. “I wish I could tell you to ignore your parents and that you’ll feel better soon, but I know it doesn’t work like that,” he says.

“It’s alright, Yunho. You already offered to be my light in my darkness, so I think I’ll be getting better. Maybe not soon, but eventually,” you give his hand a comforting squeeze.

Yunho sighs for probably the hundredth time now.

You also sigh with him. “It was dumb of me,” you said. “I knew I shouldn’t have resorted to cutting, but here we are.”

Yunho shakes his head. “It’s not your fault. You had it really rough until I found you in the river. You’ve endured those kinds of words and actions for so many years. I’m sure those years have built up and were unbearable, to the point where you tried taking your own life.” Yunho puts bandages on your arm, covering the cut marks. “Did you used to cut?”

“No,” you admit. “I’ve always refrained from doing it, either by reason or fear. But today, I was just so... desperate.”

Yunho hums in response.

“Well,” Yunho starts. “It’s been a long day. I think you should get some sleep.”

You pause. “Yunho?”

“Yeah?”

“Can I... sleep with you tonight?” you ask.

Yunho blinks at you several times. “Uh- I-I guess,” he says timidly.

“I just don’t want to be alone tonight,” you explain quickly.

He nods. “I know, it was just so sudden,” Yunho says as he offers you his hand.

You stand up and finally get off of the bathroom floor.

As Yunho walked you to your bedroom, you noticed San sitting outside your room.

“Y/N!!” San exclaims the second he sees you.

San gives you a big bear hug before you have time to respond to him.

“You worried me sick!” San says, his voice shaky.

You felt really bad for making the boys worry.

You hug San back, and you hear him let out a sigh of relief.

“Please don’t scare us like that again,” San says.

“I’ll try not to,” you give San a small smile.

He pouts before letting you go. “I’ll let you get some sleep,” he said as he waves at you and Yunho.

After you had changed into your pajamas, the rest of the boys came up to check on you. You had worried all of them, and they had to actually see you (and physically hug you) to make sure you were alright.

Now, you were laying in Yunho’s bed, cuddling up in his bed covers. Yunho was busy getting ready for bed with a few other of the boys.

You were reflecting on your actions, and you deeply regretted resorting to cutting. You were ashamed.

Yunho came in as you were on the verge of crying again. He noticed right away.

“Y/N,” he softly called out.

You looked at him.

“What did I tell you earlier?” he asks just as softly.

You continue to stare at him.

“Let me be your light,” he says, walking up to your side of the bed. He sits down on the edge of the bed and brushes your hair out of your face. He tucks a stray strand behind your ear.

You close your eyes at his touch.

“Don’t worry so much,” Yunho whispers. “Me and the others boys are here for you.”

You could feel yourself drifting off to sleep as Yunho continued to stroke your head.

Yunho’s quiet whisper was the last thing you heard before you succumbed to slumber.

“You’re beautiful, Y/N.”

~To be continued :) A/N: I’m sorry if the emotions/cutting isn’t... accurate, per se? I tried my best, but I haven’t actually been victim to this. I just wanted to try my hand at angst.
