#litter is really the only thing i have to buy monthly for her

[two-calicos-in-a-trenchcoat]

On one hand im glad I dont start work until Tuesday cuz it gives me one more day to mentally prepare

But on the other hand the anticipation anxiety is killing me. I can't stop grinding my teeth. I keep having to resist the urge to bite my hands. I cant focus on anything for more than a few minutes

Ik ill calm down once it starts and I see the environment ill be working in and start training and everything. And I know HOW my routine is gonna change as far as when im gonna have to get up and when ill get to come home. But its still a change.

A very large change cuz im gonna have to get up at 6am which is not a time ive ever purposely woken up except for one time for choir in 8th grade and the next time I was supposed to I purposely lied and said we weren't gonna have a spring concert so I wouldn't have to go to it

I just keep reminding myself that I need money so I can get a dog. Having money to live is not enough motivation for me. A dog is tho. That is the goal. I want a puppy. I am going to get a puppy. But I have to do this so I can get money to get a puppy. Im just gonna repeat that to myself every time I start feeling anxious.

there | h.js

I'm thinking about you, in this place without you, in this placе where we usеd to be together, I still think of you all the time

wc: 7.4k

genre: childhood best friends to strangers to ???; gn!reader; idiots in love; fluff; angst.

cw: slight mentions of parenthood (they’re not parents); mentions of marriage; broken promises?; secrets; paced throughout the entirety of their career up to date (2023); panic attack; roomies are based of my irls; Eve actually has amazing luck and gets her bias in legit every single album; was not initially inspired by There, that song just really freaking fits this story

roadmap: starts in present; jumps back to pre-debut; tracks readers perspective throughout the years; ends back in present (The SOUND + 5 Star era)

Friendships don’t always end because of things you can’t come back from, they don’t always end in a spectacular burst of harsh words and emotions. A majority of the time, they end due to distance, fizzling slowly until it dies out all together, people with shared memories and experiences becoming virtual strangers.

But should that mean the promises you made to one another should die along with it?

You had never thought so, which is what brought you to this crowded stadium, standing amongst people who are a little too much like you, watching the man that you once knew better than you knew yourself performing, shining brighter than the sun. 

Han Jisung was where he was meant to be, doing what he loved with friends that get to share the experience. Friends that are important to him and you believe always will be. Unlike you.

Sure, the version of you he last knew all those years ago is likely still a fond memory to him, you’re sure he thinks about you at least every once in a while, wonders what you’re doing now—at least you hope he does. 

Truth is, being an idol doesn’t leave space for that kind of stuff. It’s isolating work; family, friendships outside of your members and other idols, a private life, it’s hard to maintain, which is why you never took it personally when the daily calls turned to weekly texts, monthly updates, and eventually nothing at all.

There were times you were tempted to message him, tell him you’re proud of him, that you miss him. But frankly, you don’t even know if he still has your number, or if the one you have is still his.

The albums littering your bookshelf that you had bought and spent hours listening to together had been joined by untouched copies of basically any Stray Kids album you could get your hands on. His photocards were now littered amongst the polaroids and cut up school yearbook pictures the two of you decorated your old bedroom walls with, all of them somehow surviving your move to America.

Sometimes you wonder what he’d think if he’d see your room now. The Jisung you knew would’ve joked with you, asking if you were secretly in love with him or if you just finally accepted he was the prettier best friend. But the Jisung in the photocards was a stranger to you. You felt more like a fan, a fellow Stay harboring a parasocial relationship with eight boys that you’ll likely never speak to, than you did an old friend.

But you were content with it all. Your best friend will always be your best friend, even if you never have another movie night with asinine amounts of junk food. Even if you never again get to see his unruly curls in the midday lighting as you eat breakfast together at lunch time. Even if your children only ever know him by your stories and his stage persona.

Promises were sacred to you, so even when you are painfully aware you’re no longer his best friend, you keep the promise you made all those years ago to your best friend. You support him with no question or hesitation. So when you heard Stray Kids were performing in your city, you didn’t hesitate to buy the overpriced ticket.

````

“How crazy would it be if Chan-hyung’s idea actually works? Think about it, your best friend could be an idol someday!”

You laughed at his quiet excitement. During his time at JYP Entertainment as a trainee, you’d grown fond of his two friends, Chan and Changbin, having quickly become 3Racha’s first fan and biggest supporter.

“I can’t wait to tell interviewers embarrassing stories from your childhood.”

“Go right ahead, you were by my side for all of them so they’re your embarrassing stories too!”

The both of you laughed, knowing he was right, and while the banter continued on like that, discussing the what if’s of Chan’s success, you couldn’t help but start to wonder where you’d truly fit into the narrative.

Bang Chan had gotten tired of sitting on the sidelines, patiently waiting his turn, quietly holding his breath every time groups were formed, hoping his name would be amongst them. You knew he’d been there longer than anyone, he likely knew more people in the industry personally than you could hope to even as a fan, and he knew how to have a successful group, he’d seen enough of them come out of his time as a trainee. So you hadn’t been shocked when Jisung had told you about his idea and he systematically started hand picking eight other trainees and approaching them with it, starting with Jisung and Changbin.

You hadn’t officially met the others Chan had chosen, but you had seen them practicing when you brought Jisung his lunch that he had forgotten at your place. 

For a rag tag group thrown together by a trainee, they were pretty good already and you could see them being very successful one day.

````

“You’re gonna come to all our shows, right?”

Jisung was starting to get nervous about the plan. It’s been going well thus far, they had been chosen to debut but were now being put through the ringer to ensure they were to the companies standards. 

The boys had barely taken any breaks since being tasked with composing and choreographing a song entirely by themselves. You’d heard Jisung practicing non-stop, even while you were supposed to be having movie night. You knew he was more nervous than he’d own up to, but you also knew when he set his mind to something, he’d see it through to the end.

“All of them sounds unrealistic, Ji.” He pouted at your response, obviously disappointed. You just chuckled and shook your head. “How about this, I pinky promise swear that no matter what, I will attend every single show put on, in my area. Okay? Even if we get into some devastating argument and never talk again, even if we somehow lose communication and haven’t spoken in years, even if we get married and I four rugrats to deal with, I’ll be at every single one near me. Deal?” You held your pinky out for him to link his with.

“Three things. One, are you in love with me or something? You want my kids, Y/n/n~?” You both laughed as he teased you, tickling your sides, before he got serious. “Secondly, I’ll never let either of those other things happen. Ever. You’re my best friend. Nothing, not even becoming an idol, is going to change that. You are so stuck with me for the rest of your miserable life.”

“Does that mean marriage isn’t off the table for you?” You interrupted him, attempting to tease him back.

“If it means never losing you, I’ll put a ring on it right here, right now.”

Your breath caught in your throat at the complete sincerity in his eyes.

“You’re never gonna lose me either way, Ji.” You said softly, watching as his face softened before he finally linked his pinky with yours.  

“Then every show near you sounds good enough for me.” He kissed the back of your hand, pinkies still linked together, and you kissed his, sealing the promise.

````

The crowd held its breath as they awaited the final judgment on the fate of Stray Kids. 

You didn’t know Minho or Felix very well at all, having only spent a handful of short lived conversations in each others company, but the way Jisung had cried until he passed out and slept through the night on your couch after Minho had been eliminated from the group, and then shortly after did it again for Felix, you didn’t have to know them personally to know you needed all nine boys to be accepted. Stray Kids were nine, and you didn’t think you could accept it any other way.

So to say the relief and joy you felt at the announcement that they would debut as nine felt all consuming would probably be an understatement. All you wanted to do was drag the boys into a big hug and congratulate them.

As they finally left the stage, you couldn’t hold yourself back from running to meet a relieved and ecstatic Jisung. 

“We did it!” He yelled, catching you in his arms and swinging you around. He set you down, his hands moving to cup both sides of your face, squishing your cheeks gently and shaking you. “We actually did it, Y/n/n! We’re debuting!” 

“I know Ji, I saw.” You laughed, returning his gesture. You quickly made your rounds, congratulating the rest of the boys and hugging Minho and Felix tightly, before returning to Jisungs side and joining them for their celebrations.

````

The boys got pretty busy pretty fast after that and the time spent with your best friend decreased rapidly, but he always texted you every chance he got and would call or skype you as he was settling down for the night. Oftentimes, his phone would get high-jacked and passed around through his members while his protests could be heard in the background. You weren’t as close with the rest of them as you were with Jisung, but they had quickly become your boys and you couldn’t be prouder of all of them and prouder to call them your friends. 

Which just made it hurt all the worse when the nightly chaos calls slowly turned into weekly at best calls. 

You understood, you wouldn’t feel like a very good friend if you didn’t, but you still missed all of them like crazy. You wished you could be by their side instead of watching from the sidelines. 

A part of you knew you could be, that you didn’t have to put yourself through this pain if you just owned up and confessed. But telling your best friend since diapers that you’re in love with him, even if you’re pretty damn sure it’s mutual, is too terrifying a concept to consider. 

You knew being an idols partner would be stressful, but it would also give you a lot more time to spend with the boys. Still, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it, the risk of you being wrong and him not feeling the same weighing too heavily. The best case scenario would be you were right, you’d never have to leave your best friend's side, you’d be at every show like he’d wanted, you’d be there for everything; but worst scenario, you lose your best friend and the boy you love in one swoop, as well as the rest of your closest friends. 

You’d rather deal with the spotty texts and irregular calls than creating an unfixable rift.

````

Despite the damn near radio silence you’d endured while they traveled their first year as an actual group, you still made sure to keep the promise you’d made and bought a ticket to a small local show they’d be doing. 

You texted Jisung a picture of the ticket, not really expecting a response and being pleasantly surprised when he texted back a very Jisung response. 

SUNGIE: I knew you were secretly in love with me

Followed by a string of unrelated emojis. Your phone buzzed again with another text.

SUNGIE: the boys want to know if you’d be down to get food and catch up after the show, I already told them yes, you don’t have a choice, I miss my best friend

You couldn’t help the giddy feeling that arose in your chest at his messages, he was right for accepting on your behalf, you would never turn down the opportunity to spend time with your friends, but especially not Jisung.

You typed up a quick reply, agreeing and telling him you’d see them all at the concert.

The rest of the week couldn’t go by fast enough. Texts with Jisung had become a little more regular again, both of you excited for some time together, and you’d even gotten a call in. You were counting down the minutes to the concert, antsy to see your friends again.

Your roommate helped you pick out an outfit for the concert because “there’s no way you’ll be representing in jeans and a t-shirt, we’re going to look sexy as fuck.” and you couldn’t find it in you to argue. 

When the night finally arrived and you were situated next to your roommate not far from the stage, you couldn’t shake the anxiousness at seeing them again. They were your friends, and they always would be, but you wondered how much they’d changed in the year you’d been separated; you wondered if they’d still act like your friends.

Your fears were relieved fairly quickly as they finally took the stage. It only took about three songs for Felix to spot you, lighting up the moment he did and running around to inform the others. Throughout the show they each took moments to find you to wave subtly. It eased your mind knowing they seemed as happy to see you as you were them.

After the show, you and your roommate waited until most of the crowd died off before you said your goodbyes, your roommate heading for the exit as you headed towards the side of the stage, grinning and walking faster when you noticed Jisung peeking around the corner and waving when he spotted you.

You threw your arms around him the second you got to him, happy to finally have your best friend back.

It didn’t take long for the rest of the boys to crash your reunion, quickly dragging you into a group hug. 

“Hey back off! This is my bestie, all of you can go find your own.” Jisung pouted, but you could see how his eyes softened as his eight new best friends embraced you and accepted you as a part of their little family.

````

“Woojin, who has been with Stray Kids as a member until this time, has left the group due to personal circumstances and terminated his exclusive contract.”

You couldn’t stop the tears from welling up in your eyes as you read the headline. You had just had lunch with all of the boys a few weeks prior and everything seemed fine, they were excited for their blossoming career together. Not one of them, not even Jisung, had let on to anything. 

You felt you had at least a bit of a reason to feel hurt, they were your closest friends and you had to learn one was splitting from the group through a gossip site. Before you could think, you were outside the boys dorm, hand raised to knock, when voices stopped you when you heard your name, making a mental note to tell the boys to shut their windows.

“I just don’t understand why we didn’t tell Y/n.” Jisung sounded defeated.

“It’s not that we didn’t want to, Hannie, it’s just that the least outsiders that know the truth, the better.” “Y/n isn’t an outsider! They’re my best friend, they wouldn’t say anything to anyone.”

“We just, we can’t guarantee that. I love them, they’re a wonderful friend, but they’re not a part of this world Han. They wouldn’t understand and we can’t risk it. The next few months are going to be hard enough on Stay, nine or none is dead and we’re tasked with moving along like it’s nothing, the last thing we need right now is anything getting misconstrued.”

Tears welled up in your eyes as you listened in. You could understand where Chan was coming from, but it still hurt hearing he couldn’t bring himself to trust you.

You wiped your eyes and finally knocked, not wanting to just vanish. They were still your friends.

“Hey, you guys seriously need to remember to shut your windows, I could hear Changbin from the driveway.” You laughed as you let yourself in, hugging Chan as you passed him before joining Jisung on the couch. It wasn’t long before other members started filing into the living room, presumably to see you, but you suspected it was more due to the safety and assurance that Chan and Jisung were done with their conversation as long as you were present.

“I heard the news by the way, I’m sorry this is happening. But hey! Maybe some good news can lighten the room.” You took a deep breath, nervous knowing your news would absolutely not help anything. “I got a huge promotion at work.” You grinned, fiddling with your hands, which Jisung and Chan both picked up on immediately.

You hadn’t mentioned being up for promotion, mostly because you weren’t even positive you’d get it, let alone accept it, but with a world tour on the horizon for the boys, and now the addition of being reminded you weren’t anything more than a normal level friend, you figured why not, what would be keeping you in Seoul anyway?

Congratulations and excitement filled the room, you smiled, thanking everyone for being happy for you, but your smile faded when Jisung’s hands covered yours, stopping your nervous fidgeting. He refused to meet your eyes.

“What’s the bad news?” He asked softly, eyes glued to where his hands were holding yours.

The excitement in the room felt as if it was sucked out by a vacuum, you tried to smile, already shaking your head to say there wasn’t any, but it died on your throat when Jisung’s eyes finally met yours, his brown eyes shining as he looked at you. “Don’t lie to me, please.” He whispered.

You slouched in defeat. “It was meant to be exciting news to cheer everyone up, Sungie. I mean, it’s not necessarily bad news, per se, it could be a really great thing even, you know?”

Jisung cut off your rambling by squeezing your hand. Giving you a look that said ‘get on with it.’

“The promotion is to an American branch.”

````

Jisung had somehow convinced his management to give him enough time off to help you move, no matter how much you insisted he didn’t need to. 

You had been busy cleaning out your closet, packing what to keep and piling up things you didn’t, figuring you could donate them, with your music blasting, none the wiser to the eight boys standing in your doorway. 

“Do they always keep the music this loud?”

The shouted question startled you. You whipped around in shock before rushing to lower the volume to greet your friends.

“Yes. Yes they do.” Jisung grinned teasingly as he pulled you into a hug. “I brought some extra hands, hope you don’t mind.” He said before kissing the top of your head and releasing you, whistling as he looked at the walls, still covered in pictures of the both of you, and some with the rest of the guys.

Seungmin was pointing out ridiculous pictures of Jisung to Jeongin and Minho laughed as he noticed a baby picture of the younger member. 

“Hyung, maybe we should ask Y/n for young pictures of Han instead of him or his family.”

Jisung groaned at that and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“I mean, there’s a lot of pictures here, so if you see any you’d like to keep, go for it. Most of them will likely just stay in a memory box while I’m overseas anyways.”

The look of utter betrayal Jisung shot you just made you laugh harder as you patted his shoulder and put all the boys to work.

````

“Y/N! STRAY KIDS RELEASED A NEW ALBUM!”

It had been a year since you moved to America, and a year with your new roomies, whom you loved dearly. Throughout that year, the Kids had been garnering more and more popularity. 

You learned Eve and Nat, twins that were complete opposites in almost every way, had watched the entire Elimination Show as it was airing and Nat actually cried in relief when it was announced they’d debut as nine; Noel, a blunt and chaotic content creator, was a bit picky and admittedly didn’t like all of their music, but she loved them as people and would flood the house group chat with reels and tiktoks, her bias is Chan; and it took a little while for Lia, a tiny italian, to get in to them, but Eve was adamant that all roomies had to be Stays and when the twins had K-pop blasting through the house pretty much non-stop, it’s hard not to get pulled in.

You still kept in contact with the boys to some extent, it wasn’t as drop out of touch as the first year was, but you could tell the distance was growing again. When the day came that you no longer contacted one another, you wouldn’t be surprised. You brought yourself to look at it as you were thankful for the extra time you were given, you’d assume most idols lose contact with people of their past life fairly quickly.

You had never told your roommates about your connection to the band, not because you didn’t trust them and adore them but because it felt too risky. They could try to use you to get to the boys, or just flat out tell you to take your delulu meds. It hurt, thinking your closest friends might abandon you because of that kind of knowledge, it helped you understand Chan a little more with the Woojin situation. 

Your door burst open, any semblance of privacy pretty well gone when it came to Eve’s excitement.

“Did you hear me?? A new album! They take such good care of us!” She fake cried dramatically as she sprawled out on your bed. 

Eve was followed shortly by Lia, holding a cup of coffee with six tally marks drawn on it, indicating it was her sixth cup of the day; and Noel carrying a camera, likely having filmed the entire invasion.

“Yes I heard, I think the whole neighborhood did.” You laughed, playing with the girls hair. “Are you going to play this new album or just continue to shout about it?”

Eve groaned. “We have to wait until stupid Nat gets home, who even made the stupid rule about new album drops having to be group listening parties anyways?” She grumbled as you and your other roommates tried to hold back your laughter.

“You did, babe.” Lia giggled, sipping her coffee and joining the two of you on your bed.

Life with them often meant no privacy, the amount of times all five of you have ended up sleeping in one bed for the night was crazy, seeing as you all have your own rooms. There were a lot of blurred lines within your house, but you loved it and wouldn’t change it for almost anything.

“So who is this in all your pictures anyways? I don’t think I’ve ever asked before.” Noel mumbled as she walked around your room, camera in hand.

“I’ll tell you if you don’t use that footage you’re getting.” You joked.

“Deal!” Lia agreed on her behalf, setting her mug down and wrestling the camera from Noel to shut off the recording.

“Tell us. We’ve all been dying to know. You never talk about your past.”

You hesitated for only a moment before relaxing into your pillows.

“His name is Jisung, in all the photos. He’s my best friend, we grew up together but we don’t talk all that much anymore. His career distanced him, and mine obviously didn’t help that. It’s simple as that. We talk maybe once every few months now.”

“Are you in love with your Jisung?” Eve asked, blue eyes staring up at you with a childlike twinkle.

“Yeah, I am.” 

The girls giggled and you hid your face in your pillow to avoid the teasing until Nat walked in, asking what was going on, and immediately getting updated. He joined in on the teasing, which thankfully only lasted until Eve remembered Stray Kids’ new album NOEASY.

````

“I swear, you being besties with a boy named Jisung gives you insane luck or something, how  are you always pulling Han? Honestly at this point I think you have just as many Han Jisung photo cards on your walls as you do pictures of your Jisung. You’re so lucky your bias is so easy for you to get. Five target exclusive albums and not ONE Felix photocard. Like, don’t get me wrong, I am perfectly content with my Changbin, Innie, and Seungmin cards, but how did not a single one of us pull a Lixie?!” Eve banged her head against the wall as she rambled.

Nat rolled his eyes at her and immediately got smacked by the girl tucked under his arm.

“Ow! What the hell Lia, I didn’t say anything.”

“Don’t be rolling your eyes at my baby girl.” Lia said threateningly.

“For the last time, you’re dating me, not my sister, please stop calling her your baby girl.”

“Oh please, brother. I could steal your girl anytime I want and we all know it.” Eve giggled, finally snapping out of her rambling state to tease her brother. Lia blew her a kiss, sending her a wink.

“We can steal girlfriends another time, right now we’re going to be late for dinner, and we all know how James can get about his dinners.” Noel rolled her eyes at the trio as she put her camera away, having filmed everyone opening their albums. She has so much content of Lia and Eve flirting with each other that a good amount of her viewers have started theorizing that Nat is Lia’s beard.

James is the twins' father. After the twins had moved out he had insisted they come home once a week for a family dinner, the invite was quickly extended to the rest of the household as James seemed to systematically adopt everyone. You had never complained because it was a day off from feeding the household and because James was actually an amazing cook. 

```

“We’re going. I don’t care if I have to throw you all into my car forcefully, we are going to this concert.” Lia stated as the roommates were gathered in the living room looking at the tour dates announcement. “I don’t care if I have to drive the whole nine hours by myself, I am not missing this concert.”

Stray Kids were playing only a few states away and everyone but you had missed them the last time they’d been so close due to having already had tickets to something that same weekend. The only reason you hadn’t missed it was because you’d been in the city of the concert for business and delayed your flight a day to see them. You’d felt bad for seeing them without your roommates and best friends of three years, but you would have felt more bad breaking a promise to your best friend of much, much longer.

“And you!” Lia turned her eyes on you, pinning you with a scolding motherly glare. “No running off and seeing them by yourself again! We’re all going to see our boys and that is final.”

You weren’t about to argue with her, and no one else seemed to want to either, so everyone set reminders for the day tickets would go on sale and started plotting outfits for the concert.

```

The energy in the crowd was indescribable, the excitement all around you made the hairs on your arms stand up. You could feel nerves bubbling up in your stomach, yes you’d seen the boys plenty of times since you all lost touch, but you’d always actively avoided any seat that could potentially be seen from stage, but the tickets went on sale whilst you were in a crucial meeting and Lia, being the groups sugar momma, bought only the best she could get her hands on, landed you about three rows from front and center.

An excited hush fell over the crowd as the lights dimmed, everyone pressing forward just a little to try and get that much closer to the people coming up on the stage, but you just wanted to turn tail and run.

Nat grabbed your hand, squeezing it as if he could sense your nerves. It wouldn’t surprise you, of all your roommates, Nathaniel had always been the one to pick up on peoples emotions the easiest and he had always had a keen sense of awareness to things he shouldn’t be aware of.

The lights burst with the opening chords of the first song of the evening and an odd mixture of pride and nausea hits you as screams drown everything out and the boys finally come into proper view.

“Deep breaths honey. You’re okay.” Nat’s comforting voice whispers into your ear, his hands squeezing a little tighter, grounding you. “Just have fun, don’t worry about him.” 

Whipping your head to look at him, you see a knowing glint in his eyes and as he nods his head back towards the stage, you realized he’d pieced it together.

How does he know? Do they all know?

He smiles once more, squeezing again, before looking away and releasing you entirely, joining the throngs of people screaming and enjoying the show. You look back towards the stage, noting how much each of your old friends have changed over the years. 

You let your nerves slowly slip away as you let yourself enjoy the promise you’ve always upheld and support your friend by screaming along and dancing with the rest of the crowd.

```

Your anxieties of earlier had been completely forgotten by the time the halfway point hit. As the lights come up to allow people a small intermission to use the bathroom or get some water, you turned to your roommates, joining in the excited rambles of all they’ve witnessed so far, adding in your notes as well, stealing glances at the timer in the middle of the stadium periodically. But as you make eye contact with a pair of curious brown eyes peeking from backstage, you feel your stomach drop. Even from the distance you’re at, you can see the recognition flash in those big eyes as they widen before disappearing entirely behind the curtain. 

Just as you’re about to turn and make a hasty exit, those curious eyes return with another pair. 

Felix and Jeongin seem to freeze you in place. You watch as Jeongin’s eyes light up with familiarity, his hand quickly coming up to shoot you a small wave, you wave back, not even thinking, and his smile widens, eyes squinting, as he seems to bounce in place to contain his happiness. It melts your heart to see, realizing you truly have missed all of them, not just Jisung.

They both wave again before disappearing just as fast as they’d appeared. “Okay, what was that all about?” Lia whispers, her small hand gently holding your elbow to get your attention.

“I’m not entirely sure.” And it’s not a complete lie.

“Your Jisung is Han Jisung, isn’t it.” It’s not a question, not really, and you have no energy to try and hide it anymore. “Are you friends with all of them?”

“Was. I’m not sure I can claim being a friend to any of them anymore.”

“Well I would say you can because Lee fucking Felix and g’damn I.N. just waved at you.” 

“You don’t know it was at me.”

“Yes I do, and you do too. Don’t bullshit right now.

“It doesn’t even matter because they’ll finish this show, do the one tomorrow, and they’ll be gone and nothing will be different.”

Lia gave you a look that screamed she thought you were insane but before you could tell her that it’s just how it is, the lights dimmed again. The stadium hushed quickly, all noticing the timer wasn’t quite finished yet, then it stopped all together and a spotlight came on over a nervous looking Han Jisung, front and center, the other kids not too far behind him. 

He wasn’t facing you, but his eyes were scanning and he was turning slowly, while trying to look normal.

“This wasn’t exactly scheduled, and I’m sorry about that, but I just talked it over with the others and with the band and we’re going to perform There for all of you tonight. This song is, well it’s really important to me.”

With that, the opening chords start playing and Han's beautiful voice fills the hushed room.

Oh, I think of you, I only fall for you

Feels like a never-ending waterfall

Tears spring to your eyes. Ever since they’d released this song, you’d felt as if it was written for you. Your logical mind screamed it likely wasn’t, that it wouldn’t make sense for it to be. You’d had no contact with them for over three years, so why now? But even with those thoughts, you couldn’t help but remember nights spent with your best friend in the whole world, evenings passed by whilst stargazing despite the horrendous amount of light pollution and lack of visibility. Everything about the song when it was released made you think of the time before all of this, when you’d always had Han Jisung by your side. 

You make eye contact with Bang Chan as he follows Han’s vocals to fill his own part, he smiles, his dimples on full blast, and you know it’s his way of acknowledging you.

As the song passes, slowly the rest of the members seem to locate you, waving subtly, putting hearts up, ways to say hi without alerting the thousands of fans around you. Everyone sees you, except for Jisung, who either can’t locate you or is actively avoiding your eyes. Your heart drops at the thought. 

Did you really have it wrong? You had assumed it was a long shot that There was written for you, but hearing them perform it live and seeing them all track you down brought hope that maybe it wasn’t just wishful thinking, all except the one you want to look at you the most.

Your heart sank further and further as the song came to a close, Han never having looked your way.

I know that it'll never stop

Oh, I'm still right there.

You watch Chan grab Jisung and pull him off stage as the countdown starts back up, and you’re pretty sure everyone can see the slump in his shoulders as his leader drags him away.

“Get out of your head honey. Just try to enjoy the show.” Nat rubs your back in comforting circles until Eve whips around, her grin too bright to ignore.

“This is the best night ever!” And of course your sunshine friend is oblivious to your inner turmoil. All you can do is smile back and agree.

You take deep breaths, you let your friends and the adoring fans around you ground you, and you decide to just enjoy this band that you’ve been a fan of for years instead of stressing about the friendship you’d already assumed was dead.

```

You could feel yourself letting loose, dancing to the music, singing at the top of your lungs, just enjoying being in the crowd. It was easy to be happy in a room with all your favorite people. 

Throughout the night all the boys would check up on you, your area of the crowd easily became a favorite to interact with, but Han still hadn’t looked at you. Trying not to let it affect you, you made a heart with Lee Know and then broke it, watching in delight as his brows raise in shock and he starts laughing. His laughter draws the others' attention and they all seem to light up at the sight of happy Lee Know. 

Han make’s his way over to Minho, throwing an arm over his shoulder and preparing to do his rap when Minho whispers something to him and nods in your direction. Everything seems to fade away as Jisungs eyes finally meet yours, you can vaguely hear the instrumental for his part of the song but he’s not rapping, he just seems frozen as he stares at you.

Raising your hand, you give him a small wave, his hand following the motion and copying which makes you smile. Minho must pinch him because his body jolts and he shoots his friend an incredulous look, and then as if remembering where he is and what he’s supposed to be doing, he blushes and follows Lee Know to the rest of the members to get into choreo formation for the next song, but not without shooting you one more smile.

Sound comes rushing back in, and suddenly the air feels lighter, you hear Lia squealing as she bounces up and down next to you, holding your arm, and you can feel Nat’s arm around you. 

Han’s eyes can’t seem to stay off of you after that, you catch him looking at you more often than not. You feel giddy, laughter bubbling in you as he stumbles some choreography while trying to keep his eyes on you. 

The rest of the concert flies by way too fast, you don’t want the night to end, you don’t want to go back to your hotel and let this moment go past you. You don’t want Han Jisung to stop looking at you again. 

All the longing for your best friend, all the time you spent pretending you were alright with the way things turned out because he was living his dream and he was happy, all those years loving someone unattainable, drowns you as the boys leave the stage for the last time that night. The weight of realization weighs on you as the lights come up and the stadium starts clearing out, and just when you were ready to grab your friends and elbow your way to out of the stadium, putting the whole night behind you and accepting the end of a friendship officially, a guard tracked you down, asking for you by your Korean name, and asking you to follow him.

Confusion, and a bit of hope, floods you as you look to your friends, who just shrug, just as confused by the request but following you and the guard, after Noel and Lia argue that security or not their friend isn’t going anywhere without the rest of them because that wouldn’t be safe. You’re all brought backstage and left in a room with several couches and a table full of snacks. 

“So, what the heck is going on?” Eve finally asks, breaking the confused silence.

“Y/n’s boyfriend got us V.I.P access, apparently.” Nat responds.

“BOYFRIEND?!”

You smack Nat’s arm, causing him to laugh. “No babe, I don’t have a boyfriend, I’m just as confused as you are.”

Before much else could be said, a loud squeal is heard just before you're lifted off the ground and spun around. 

“Y/n/n!!!” Felix shouts, setting you down and pulling you back in for a soul crushing hug. “I’ve missed you so much, we have so much catching up to do!” He looks around, likely looking for the rest of his members but noticing your friends. “Oh. Hello there!” He smiles. “I’m Lee Felix, nice to meet you all!”

“Let them breathe Lix,” Seungmin rolls his eyes, pulling you from Felix’s grasp just to drag you into a hug of his own. “But he’s right, there is a lot of catching up to do.” He mumbles before releasing you and passing you off to the next person.

You catch a glimpse of your roommates, all of whom look absolutely dumbfounded. Even Nat and Lia, who seemed to have known about Jisung, seemed absolutely bewildered by these events.

You’re passed from member to member and something about it is so nostalgic. Being hugged by these sweaty, energy high, happy boys made you feel completely at peace. 

By the time you’re finally completely released, you notice your boys introducing themselves to your slightly starstruck friends. You also notice everyone is in the room but Han and Chan.

Minho, the ever attentive one, saddles himself next to you, watching your friends mingle. 

“Sungie is, well, he’s having a panic attack, I won’t lie to you, and Chan’s helping him. Don’t worry, he’s not avoiding you.” You flash him a grateful smile.

You watch as Eve and Felix get on like an absolute house fire, both practically bouncing in excitement as they chat about goodness knows what. Nat, Lia, Changbin, and Hyunjin watch in amusement, providing commentary now and again, while you catch up with Minho, Innie, and Seungmin.

It’s not too long before Chan finally enters the room, taking no time at all to scoop you into his arms. “God we’ve missed you, Y/n/n.” He whispers, his face pressed into your neck.

“I’ve missed all of you too. So much. And I am so, so proud of you all.”

Chan pulls back, giving you a tired smile before turning you to the door. “He’s too nervous to come in here, so you might want to go to him.” His smile is genuine, and he squeezes your shoulder once before releasing you entirely and gently pushing you toward the door.

Outside of the room, Jisung is pacing and mumbling to himself, he doesn’t even seem to notice another presence with him.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s just your best friend. Your best friend in the whole world that you’ve been out of touch with for years. You’ll be okay. It’s not like they wouldn’t want to see you.” Han freezes, eyes still locked on the ground. “Oh my god, what if they don’t want to see me.”

“Han Jisung, would you  stop rambling under your breath and hug me already?”

His head whips around, eyes wide, and for a minute all he does is stare at you in shock, and then he rushes towards you, pulling you into a hug so tight it’s as if he’s afraid you’ll disappear if he lets go.

“I missed you so much.” He whispers, his voice watery.

You hug him back with just as much strength, clinging to him and willing your tears back.

“Careful, it almost sounds like you’re in love with me or something.” You try to joke, your voice just as unsteady as his.

That seems to trigger something in him because he pulls back and stares at you for a really long moment. Just taking in your features. “And what if I am?” He whispers. Your breath catches in your throat, his eyes are watery but genuine.

Before you can say anything, he starts fumbling for his pocket before pulling out a small black box. He takes a deep breath before sinking down onto one knee, your eyes widening in shock.

“Because I am, ya know? I always have been. You’ve always been my ending, Y/n/n. And I had promised you once that you’d be stuck with me for the rest of your miserable life, and that I’d put a ring on it if it meant never losing you. Well, then I did lose you, and now that you’re here, I don’t intend on ever letting you slip away again. So, marry me, and let me spend the rest of my life by your side, because I joke about your miserable life a lot, but I know for a fact how miserable life is without you and I don’t want it.”

You can feel the tears running down your face as you drop to your knees in front of him, nodding as you grab his face and pull him in for a kiss.

His lips are salty, likely from your shared tears, and they’re a little chapped, but they meet yours just as eagerly and you know it’s real, and that this is how it always should have been.

You both pull apart for air, he leans his forehead against yours as he grabs your hand to slide the ring into place and you hear whooping and hollering not to far, both of you looking up to see not only the kids, but your roommates all having likely witnessed the whole thing.

Jisung blushes and you grin, tears still flowing as you wrap your arm around your best friend in the whole wide world and show your ring off to Eve and Lia who rushed in to see it immediately.

“I love you.” Jisung whispers as he helps you stand.

“I love you too.” You whisper back, leaning further into him and never wanting to leave his side ever again.

“Sweetie, you have got some major explaining to do.” Eve cuts in, joining the hug and giving you a pointed but teasing glare.

I wrote this fic for the Wolfstar Comfort Mini-Fest, organized by @swottypotter, because I thought it was such a lovely idea😊

(also on AO3 as part of a series of one-shot crush confessions)

19/09: an anniversary

Summary:

Getting older can be a fearful experience, but when you're a werewolf, it's just a tad worse. There's only so many excruciating transformations one's body can undergo before it can take no more. For Remus, the idea of celebrating the day of being another year closer to that inevitable moment is inconceivable. However, his friends teach him that instead of simply having lived another year, his life contains many other anniversaries he could be celebrating: having been part of a close group of friends for another year, having had company during the full moon for another year, and... having a certain friend be in love with him for another year?

Moments in time

Remus Lupin does not celebrate his birthday. Doesn’t like it. Really doesn’t like it. Hates it, in fact. It’s not a case of modesty, like ‘he just doesn’t want to be the center of attention’, or even a case of bad experiences, like ‘if we can just show him how fun it can be’. No, he has made it clear to the other three Marauders that it’s no use even trying. If they throw him a birthday party, he won’t attend. If they buy him birthday gifts, he won’t accept.

It’s not that he hates birthdays as a principle. No, he’d loved it when they snuck into the kitchens and stuffed themselves with sweets for Peter’s birthday, he’d loved it when they stayed up all night and drank Butterbeer and even a bottle of Firewhiskey that they managed to smuggle in for James’s birthday, and he loved it when they had a sleep-over in the Shrieking Shack for Sirius’s birthday. It’s really his own birthday that he doesn’t like.

You see, Remus Lupin is a werewolf, and while he’s now more comfortable with that fact than he’s ever been, with being able to attend school, having people in his life that love and accept him even with knowing the truth, and having friends who became Animagii so he doesn’t have to be alone during the full moon anymore, there are just some things that come with his condition that cannot be changed. The illness on the days preceding and following the full moon, the excruciating pain that the transformations bring, and, probably worst of all, the fact that werewolves age prematurely.

Werewolves do not have a high life expectancy. There’s only so much strain one’s body can endure before it can’t take no more. Remus often reads in textbooks that werewolves don’t get old, but that’s wrong phrasing: werewolves do get old, they just get old really fast. While his friends will still be vital and brimming with energy, Remus’s bones will become fragile and his muscles stiff with constant aching due to the tearing apart and snapping back together necessary for the monthly transformations, his recovery after each full moon will become slower until he’ll never fully recover anymore, he’ll start having trouble walking and eventually moving altogether, his hair will become grey and his skin will become worn and littered with scars, making him look old beyond his years.

It’s bad enough that each year there’s a day to remind him that he’s another year closer to that inescapable faith, so why in Merlin’s name would he want to actually celebrate that day?

Remus never fully explained, so he’s not sure to what extent the other Marauders really understand what getting older means to him, but they can tell that it holds a lot of pain for Remus, and that it’s not something they can fix for him, so they respect his wishes. On the day itself they try their hardest not to give a single indication they’re aware it’s Remus’s birthday. The only way Remus can tell that they do know, is by how they go out of their way to make sure no one else dares to mention his birthday in his vicinity. This may seem weird or even mean to outsiders, but to Remus, it’s the best possible thing they could do.

That’s part of the reason why Remus is utterly confused when he enters their dorm on September 4th and finds Sirius, James and Peter sitting on pillows on the floor surrounded by drinks and candy, and a pile of gifts in their midst.

“Surprise!” They yell in unison the moment Remus opens the door.

Another reason for Remus’s confusion is that it’s nowhere near his birthday.

“What’s this?” He asks carefully.

Sirius presses a card in his hand. The front of the card shows a doodle of four boys sitting at the Gryffindor table. A small boy with peaky hair, a boy whose hair is pointing in all directions, a dark-haired boy with a goofy grin, and a curly-haired boy with large eyes, all wearing red-and-gold colours.

The doodle is clearly drawn by Sirius. Sirius is actually a very talented artist and his drawings are great, though he only ever shows his doodles to his friends. Remus loves the cute and funny doodles, but he wishes Sirius would also show them his more serious drawings sometimes. Remus has only ever caught a glimpse of his work on moments Sirius didn’t notice Remus’s presence in time while drawing, but what he saw was amazing.

Remus opens the card and reads the message on inside.

Hi Moony!

Happy 6-year anniversary of the day we officially became friends with you!

We love you!

Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs

Remus looks up from the card to see Sirius staring at him with the same goofy grin as the doodled boy on the card, but there’s also an unfamiliar expression in his eyes, and he’s toying with a strand of his hair.

Remus realises that he’s nervous. Afraid that Remus will see it as a trick to give him a kind-of-birthday party anyway, and become upset. And of course it is an attempt to make up for lost birthday celebrations, Remus knows that, but it’s a good attempt. It’s not just celebrating a certain amount of years from his life have gone by, it’s celebrating the years they’ve been friends. Making actual friends who love him and who he loves, and keeping them for all that time, that’s something Remus did with his life, something he accomplished, something no one can ever take away from him. It somehow makes the eventual length of his life matter less. It’s celebrating the quality, not the quantity.

A smile spreads across Remus’s face, and he can immediately see the relief on his friends’ faces. “I love it,” he says.

And honestly, how could he not love something that results in Sirius throwing his arms around his neck and pressing a kiss to his cheek?

Remus tries to ignore the fluttering of his heart. They’re celebrating five years of friendship, for Godric’s sake. Being friends with someone as loving, bright and cheerful as Sirius is already more than he could have ever asked for. Wanting more, even dreaming of more, would be pushing his luck. See? His brain knows all this, but apparently his heart hasn’t gotten the message.

James gets him out of his frenzy by taking a gift from the pile. “Alright! Lets see who the first gift is for!”

“You got gifts for everyone?” Remus asks curiously.

“Why, of course, Moony!” James exclaims. “Managing to keep one of the greatest persons ever as our friend is really a gift-worthy accomplishment for us! Really something we should be celebrating and congratulating each other on.”

Sirius nudges Remus playfully. “You can see your presents as a reward for having put up with us for so long.”

Remus chuckles. He definitely doesn’t need a reward for one of the greatest things that has ever happened to him, but he’s not gonna say no to the tea, mug and book that lie before him with his name written on them either.

The next surprise comes halfway through October, during their second trip to Hogsmeade of that year. Remus is sitting at the Three Broomsticks with Peter, waiting for James and Sirius to come back with their Butterbeers.

However, suddenly Sirius places a large mug filled with decadent chocolate milk in front of Remus, complete with whipped cream and a chocolate biscuit on top and sprinkled with chocolate chips. At the same time James presses another card in his hands. Remus immediately laughs at the doodle of him in front of Honeydukes, holding a large stack of chocolate in his arms. Wondering what his friends came up with this time, he opens the card.

Moons,

Happy 4-year anniversary of your very first trip to Hogsmeade with us! (Ah, the day Moony discovered Honeydukes...)

Many trips (legal and less-legal) have followed and will follow since!

Lots of love,

Wormy, Pads, and Prongsie

Remus actually wasn’t able to join them on the first weekend they had been allowed to go, as it had been a full moon the night before. Only the next weekend a Hogsmeade trip was planned, they were able to go with the four of them, today apparently four years ago.

The following hour Remus spends reminiscing all his trips to Hogsmeade with his friends. The one when James and Sirius had hidden in the Shrieking Shack and fired hexes at passers-by to convince everyone the Shack is cursed, the one when James tried to secretly follow Lily around to find out what to buy for her birthday and she ended up throwing Butterbeer in his face, the one when Remus was acting cranky because his favourite chocolate was sold out, only to find out Sirius had secretly bought the last bars for him as a surprise, or the one when James actually managed to get a date with Lily, and Peter had asked Mary McDonald, so Remus and Sirius went together (and Remus had to actively tell himself that it was not a date for the entire day, though he doesn’t discuss that last bit with his friends).

Before they leave, the other three Marauders want Remus to pick out all the chocolate he loves most from Honeydukes as his anniversary gift, but Remus refuses, not wanting to be selfish by letting his friends buy him his treats. Back in their dorm, however, it isn’t long before a bag filled with Honeydukes’ finest just mysteriously appears on Remus’s bed.

It isn’t until January, right at the start of the new year, Remus is surprised one again. He steps into the kitchens, where the others had told him to come to prepare for a prank, and finds his friends sitting at a table around a huge chocolate cake.

“Moony!” Peter calls out, while James and Sirius shoot confetti from their wands.

“What’s this?” Remus asks, grinning while he’s shaking the confetti out of his hair. This time he’s more excited than nervous.

Peter hands him the card. Remus chuckles as he sees the little deer with a rat hanging from his antlers, closely followed by a wolf and a dog walking side-by-side, doodled on the front. He opens the card, fully prepared for another odd anniversary his friends managed to come up with, but not prepared in the least for the wave of emotion that washes over him.

Dear Moony,

Happy 2-year anniversary of the day from which you’ll never again have to spend another full moon on your own!

Love, your animalistic friends,

Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Remus reads the card a couple more times, until his eyes start tearing up and his vision becomes blurry.

The short message is not only a reminder of what his friends have done for him, how they’ve gone and made an aspect of Remus’s life immeasurably better, an aspect Remus had always believed to never get any better.

And then the words ‘never again’, meaning that his friends will continue to help him once they’ve left school, meaning that it doesn’t end when school does, meaning that his friends will always be there for him.

Remus doesn’t even realise he’s crying until two arms wrap around him and Sirius pulls him into a tight hug. His head resting on Sirius’s chest and Sirius soothing him: exactly how he’s been waking up after the full moon for the last two years, and how he’ll be waking up after the full moon for the years to come.

At the end of March, it’s promising to become the first soft spring day after the winter, though the nights still have a chill in the air.

The Marauders are sitting on a blanket in the grass, wrapped in sweaters watching the sun slowly rise over the lake. They’d snuck out in the middle of the night through one of their secret passageways, and spent the rest of the night drinking, talking, star gazing, and now watching the sunrise.

“Cheers!” They cluck their mugs filled with hot mead together in the golden light of the rising sun. “To beautiful spring days and good times!”

“And to Moony,” Sirius adds. “On this special day.”

Remus laughs. “I should have known!” Though he feels this night has already been special enough.

Though he immediately starts reading the card, with a pretty doodle of the castle on the front.

To Messr. Moony,

Happy 2-year anniversary of the day you discovered the last secret passageway and finished the Marauders’ Map!

We solemnly swear to always remain up to no good!

There’s always more mischief to manage,

Yours sincerely,

The Messrs. Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Remus fondly shakes his head. The season is changing, life at Hogwarts is slowly coming to an end, but the Marauders’ days of mischief making are not ending just yet.

On the 17th of May, Remus is sitting at a table in the common room, surrounded by books, parchment, quills and ink. He’s waiting on Lily. He has a Potions essay due, and horrible in potions as Remus is, he really needs a good grade. Luckily, Lily has agreed to help him, as she’s the absolute best in Potions. Lily is not great because professor Slughorn adores her, professor Slughorn adores her because she’s great.

Remus sees Lily step through the portrait hall carrying a large pile of books, and immediately jumps to his feet to help her carry the load.

However, when they return to Remus’s spot, a beautifully wrapped gift is placed on top of his parchment.

“They came up with another date?” Remus mumbles, slightly embarrassed, but Lily just looks excited. Word has gotten around that the Marauders have been throwing Remus all kinds of parties for all kinds of reasons and everyone just loves it.

“Open it, open it!” Lily claps her hands and Remus tears the wrapping paper off.

Lily sucks in her breath. “Oh!”

Remus himself is unable to form any words as he’s holding up a frame. All he can do is stare wide-eyed at the framed drawing in his hands.

It’s definitely Sirius’s work. Not a doodle this time, but a completely finished, serious artwork. Remus recognizes himself in the drawing, curled up in an armchair, one hand holding a book, and the other holding a mug with steam circling upwards. The scene is seemingly illuminated by soft sunlight falling through a window on Remus’s left, giving his eyes and hair a slightly golden glow. The drawing is somehow comforting, in his ability to capture such a calm, serene moment. Though Remus thinks the boy in the drawing must look much more beautiful than he ever has, he has no problem recognizing himself, as the composure, radiance and expression are so typically his, that it makes him feel strangely vulnerable that someone has looked at him and seen him, really seen him.

“It’s beautiful,” Lily whispers.

The only thing written on the drawing is a date scribbled in the bottom right corner: 17/05/1977. Exactly one year earlier. Remus’s heart is thumping as he picks up and reads the small note that came with the gift.

Dearest Moony,

Happy 1-year anniversary of the day I fell in love with you.

Yours, now and always,

Padfoot

Remus can hardly breath. The more he reads the words, the more his brain stops functioning. He looks at Lily, who has been reading over his shoulder, with a pleading look.

“Lily, what do I do?” He asks desperately.

“Well,” Lily says uncertain. “I’m sure if you tell him you care for him, but see him as just a friend, he’ll-”

“Why in Merlin’s name would I want to say that?” Remus stares at her like she has grown two heads. “Why would I want to turn him down?”

“You looked so panicked!” Lily defends herself. “Why in Merlin’s name are you even asking my advice if you feel the same way? Just go find that boy and bloody snog the living daylights out of him! Merlin, Remus, it’s not Advanced Potions!”

Finding Sirius and snogging him sounds scary, risky, dangerous, and absolutely wonderful, so Remus decides to embrace his Gryffindor courage and go for it.

He barely nods at Lily before dashing away. He bumps into Peter while rushing through the common room.

“Oi, Moony! I just wanted to ask you, are you-”

“Sorry, Wormtail, gotta run! I have to go and snog Padfoot!”

He hears Peter’s voice echo through the room as he climbs through the portrait hole. “Yeeeeesssss!”

In the corridor, he passes James.

“Moony…”

“Sorry, Prongs, no time!”

“He’s up in the Owlery!” James calls after him. “I thought you might like to know you’re going the wrong way.”

Remus immediately turns around and runs in the other direction. He hears James mumble when he passes him again.

“About bloody time.”

Remus’s courage wavers a bit as he steps into the Owlery. Sirius is standing with his hands resting on the ledge, and he’s looking out over the Hogwarts grounds. His pale skin, his grey eyes reflecting the sky, his long hair with strands blowing in his face. Surely there has to be some sort of misunderstanding. Surely a boy this beautiful can’t possibly have feelings for someone like Remus.

But then Sirius turns around to look at him, and Remus can clearly see the love and affection, mingled with fear and uncertainty, in his eyes.

“The twenty-third of September,” Remus blurts out.

Sirius looks at him questioningly.

“That’s my date,” Remus clarifies.

There’s hope in those eyes now. “As in the date of your one-year anniversary of having feelings… for me?” Sirius asks tentatively.

Remus shakes his head, and Sirius drops his gaze, looking embarrassed. “Two years,” Remus quickly clarifies.

Sirius looks up at him again, his eyes now the way Remus likes them best: sparkling.

“Really, Moony?” There’s unconcealed happiness and relief in his voice. “Two whole years and you never said anything?”

Remus huffs. “It’s not an easy thing to say! You know that, took you a year as well.”

“That’s still twice as fast,” Sirius teases.

Remus sighs in defeat. “You’re right. And there’s no way I can give you something so special and amazing as you’ve given me today.”

“You can forget about your date anyway,” Sirius says.

Remus raises his eyebrows. “How so?”

Sirius reaches out his hand towards Remus. “I was rather hoping we could share this date? As the date we officially became a couple?”

Remus hearts stops for a moment, but then he knows just what to do.

He takes the hand Sirius is offering, and in a moment of bravery pulls him close, so that they’re standing chest to chest.

Remus tugs a strand of hair falling over Sirius’s face behind his ear. “I would love to.”

Since you wrote about Yandere Villians with Y/N having a cute fairy quirk, how about a Yandere Hero having a Y/N with a monstrous quirk? SO...you pick the hero! Pick any male hero who you believe can handle Y/N. You do such amazing writing.

Y/N have to wear a face mask to hide the muzzle she wears going outside. Y/N have a quirk where she goes on a frenzy. Her eyes turn red, her veins pop out of her skin, she starts growling and trying to bite anyone near by. A monster who craves to rip flesh and bones. Y/N can turn on her quirk if she feels so much anger or fear. Y/N doesn't want to hurt anyone. She wants to live a quiet and alone life.

Wolf

Pairing: Best Jeanist x f!reader

Warnings: light yandere content, power abuse, threats

Thank you so much for the compliment, dear anon! I went soft with the monster idea that I just made the reader into a werewolf...hope it is still good! I was torn between Kiri and Best Jeanist! I really like Best Jeanist, I wish he got some more screen time ... Maybe I’ll do another one for the shark boy later.

Some groundwork:

When your quirk manifested at four years old, you were not surprised: you come from a family of Mutant quirks, after all.

Your quirk, wolf, means you can transform into a wolf anytime. The longevity is unknown to you since you barely use it. Even in your normal human form, you still have wolf ears and tail. You also have a sensitive nose, just like canines. You (hair color) fluffy fur is the same color as your hair. In acient times, before quirks become a thing, you would be seen as a werewolf.

While transformed, it is hard to supress the wolf’s wild instincts, the desire to hunt, to kill and consume raw meat (extremely difficult if you are hungry). You hate it, being like a beast instead of human. You had outbursts in the past that nearly killed one of your friends. There fore you stay in human at all times.

So most of the time, you just kept a muzzle near you, just in case you would lose yourself to the beast again.

You always feel this...strange sense of difference between you and normal people, so all of your friends have mutant quirks. You kept your social circle small, only letting those who are deemed trustworthy close to you (you told them to run if they see any signs of you getting wild)

You always had a soft spot for animals, therefore you decided to work in a pet shop. Dogs especially loves you, maybe because your canine quirk. Cats not so much, as they had left quite a few marks on you when you just started.

Now you are the assistant manager, the salary is decent, so you do not look for anything more. You never thought of having a romantic relationship because you do not trust yourself: you do not want to hurt the person you love. So even if you had crushes you just kept those feelings hidden until they went away.

Best Jeanist/Tsunagu Hakamada

Did you know his favorite animal is wolf? Therefore he is a furry

Being the No.4 pro hero means taking on lots of stress, so Tsunagu decides to have an animal friend at home who he can talk to freely, without worrying leaking information (I mean how can animals pass on information).

He went into the nearest pet shop, hoping to find a furry companion, preferably dogs.

What he did not expect is to find you there, with those literal puppy eyes and fluffy ears sticking out of your hair, tending to the puppies.

Tsunagu met people with similar quirks before, and he finds them aesthetically pleasing. But seeing you with a litter of adorable puppies, laughing and petting them? He felt like his heart just melted.

“Hello sir. How may I help you today?” You put on your usual smile. Tsunagu is wearing his civilian clothes, so he is just another customer to you. A fashionable one, though. You took notice at his stylish blonde hair.

Tsunagu would ask you about all the options for adopting a puppy. However he is only half-listening: he is drawn to how your ears twitch towards any abnormal sounds...

“Oh, my ears? Sorry if they are distracting. It’s part of my quirk.”

Would get you to talk to him as much as possible, with lots of polite questions.

When you bid him good day as he walks out the door, holding a poodle puppy with its supplies, Tsunagu is determined to see you more.

You are warm, like a ray of sunlight in this stormy world. Having worked as a pro hero for so long, dealing with many negative things so often, make him attracted to positive people. Those furry wolf ears and tail only added to his admiration.

Whenever Best Jeanist is not needed at his agency, Tsunagu Hakamada would find excuses to drop by your shop. Whether it be buying new accessories for his puppy or simply need some advice on her, he would find a way to talk to you, to hear your voice.

Until he become acquainted with you enough, Tsunagu finally asked for you name.

“I’m (y/n), and you, sir?” “Tsunagu. Tusnagu Hakamada.”

Never have once you associated your friendly customer with the No.4 Pro hero of Japan. Tsunagu is charismatic and talkative (at least to you), never putting on airs like Endeavor. Since he wears a mask, the public does not have a good idea what he looks like.

Then you noticed those small gestures, how Tsunagu’s hands would “unintentionally” brush against yours when you hand over his paid items, how his body would lean in slightly towards you whenever you are talking. Or how his lips would curl upwards whenever your tails wags with excitement. You also seen him way more frequently compare to average customers.

“He got a crush on you.” One of you co workers, teases after Tsunagu left the store.

“No he doesn’t.” You blush, although considering her hypothesis.

You seen some of his clothes in fashion magazines, one of them costs more then your monthly salary. Tsunagu is clearly a rich man, a fashion designer perhaps.

“Ms.(y/n), sorry if this sounds intrusive, but do you have a lover?”

That was...unexpected. “No, I do not. Why did you ask, Mr. Hakamata?”

That saves him trouble. Best Jeanist has got this flawless reputation for years, he prefers not to taint it. But if he must, Tsunagu would not hesitate. You belong with him, and him only. “Well, it’s possible such a beautiful lady like you already has a significant other.”

“Mr. Hakamata...I-” You were not sure to blush or to smile. Now it is clear to you: This blonde is interested in you. However you do not know what to respond.

“Call me Tsunagu, please.”

The next day you would find a lily bouquet wrapped in denim on the store counter?! Who use that as a bouquet wrapper? Flatter as you are, you still find this unsettling. He did not show up for the rest of the day, which gives you time to think.

Tsunagu is handsome and kind. He seems like a perfect choice, but you wonder what he would say if he saw you as a bloodthirsty wolf, feral and hungry for killing.

You decide to turn him down, not wanting to give him false hope.

Some minor villain is causing trouble in the streets when you were walking home. You were just going to sprint away at first, but in the corner of your eye you saw a mother with her toddler daughter being corner by the villain. The way the mother tries to protect her child triggered something in you. You have to do something!

“Grr!!!” Suddenly a piece of flesh is ripped off the villain’s leg. The villain screams in pain, but you dodged every last one of his attacks while leaving deep bite marks on him. Soon the sidewalk is stained crimson with blood. You know the two had already gotten away, you should stop now. But the wolf instincts got the better of you. You crave blood, lots of it. The growing pool under you is not enough.

You heard police sirens, someone yelling for you to stop, but the wolf is not willing to. It seems it would not be satiated unless this villain dies a brutal death.

Streams of fibers wrapped around you, restraining you until you cannot move anymore.

When you regained consciousness, you were in a clean jail cell, still in your wolf form. You assumed that you are being confined in a hero agency since you just lost control.

The door cracked. It is Tsunagu! What is he doing here? And why is he wearing a jean mask?

Then you saw the rest of his outfit. Demin jeans suit from head to toe, the...the No.4?

He is Best Jeanist? What is happening now?

Tsunagu wanted to take things slow, he wanted to date you normally, letting you know everything about him, but this seems like too good of an oppertunity to pass up.

“(y/n), can you understand me?” He crouches down with a concerned look on his face.

You nod. You are not able to speak human languages while in wolf form, another draw back.

“Do your clothes come back when you transform? Or do you need some clothes?”

You left your clothes behind a dumpster before, so you just shook your head. If you were to transform now, it could be quite embarrassing.

Handing you a denim dress, Best Jeanist leaves to give you some privacy to change.

After you are dressed and back in human form, he took you to his office.

“I know you must have lots of question right now, but please allow me to explain somethings first.”

“The villain is in bad shape. You did quite a bit damage on him. His blood loss is immense; he is still in the ICU as we speak.”

Why don’t you just let him die, he’s a threat to society anyway. You ask yourself, silently.

“However, while he is a villain, you still hurt him too much. And it’s not even self-defence. You are not a hero, it’s illegal.”

You tense up. Would you face charges for this? For trying to protect other people.

“Would I go to Tartarus? For how long?”

“Oh, come now. As long as I have any say , I won’t allow that to happen.” Your eyes lit up, wanting to thank him.

“You can be my wife instead. Stay with me, and no charges would be pressed.”

What?

You know he likes you, but just asking to become his wife like that? Without dating first.

“Tsunagu, I... you...this...” He finds your stutters cute, as he traces his fingers along the edge of your wolf ears. Best Jeanist had been wanting to do that for so long, he worked so hard to restrain himself.

“Your choice. Either face court charges, or you can be with me, all is well.”

Tsunagu Hakamada is confident about his chances. An innocent, adorable civilian like you will not last long even in the most outer cells of Tartarus.

Tears slides down your chin as you give a reclutant reply. “I’ll...be with you.”

Who could have thought Tsunagu would do such a thing? He is always so nice and friendly. But now here he is, threatening you with this crime?

“Perfect.” Snapping a denim collar around your neck, he lifts your chin, forcing you to look up to him. “I can’t wait to get you home; you would be such a lovely little wolf. My little wolf.”

“Should you ever try to leave me, I’m sure Tartarus is always avaliable.”

Lay All Your Love On Me

Word Count: 9k

Excerpt: Jisung glanced at you apprehensively before huffing out a sigh and returning his attention to the night sky. Stars littered the sky, battling the bright city lights in order to be seen. The headlights of cars travelling below you held your focus, eyes flitting between the blurring colors. Jisung, however, couldn’t get your conversation out of his head. Out of the years you had known each other you had always bent over backwards to help him and your friends. Whenever they attempted to reach out a helping hand, however, you always swatted it away without batting an eye. He wanted to be your rock as much as you were his, but you made it nearly impossible to do so.

Masterlist

A/N: first skz au, this one’s for you @jisung-enthusiast

The scent of your perfume tickled Jisung’s nose, filling his lungs with every inhale and clouding his mind with thoughts of you. He laid sprawled out on your bed, eyes closed as he clutched one of your stuffed animals close to his chest. Like everything else in the room, it smelled like you. He burrowed his nose into the head of the bear as he waited for you to finish getting ready. The smell intoxicated him, so much so that he nearly missed you calling out to him.

“Ya! Han Jisung! Pay attention to me!”

Jisung sat up straight, clutching your bear closer to his chest. “Sorry, were you saying something?” He teased, swinging his legs over the side of your bed.

“You’re annoying, you know that? Now come over here and help me with my hair.”

Quickly, he flung the bear back onto your bed as he moved to stand behind you.

“If I’m so annoying then why do you want me to do your hair, hmm?”

“You know you’re the best at it.” You whined, pouting at him through your vanity mirror. Any normal person would look sickly under the harsh lighting of your mirror, but somehow you still managed to look like an angel. “Besides, you’ve been doing my hair for these functions for years, it’s tradition at this point!”

“Yea, yea.” He mumbled, fighting back a blush at your compliment. “You know we’re like, hella late right now?”

“Fashionably late.”

Jisung rolled his eyes, staring at your reflection as you did your makeup. The short lilac summer dress complimented your skin perfectly, delicate flowers embroidered into the silky fabric. You caught his gaze in the mirror and stuck your tongue out at him, laughing lightly at his widened eyes.

“You’re supposed to be doing my hair not staring at me dingus.”

Before Jisung could quip back your ringtone went off, pulling your attention away from the mirror and to your phone screen.

“Shit it’s my mom.” You mumbled, putting down your mascara in exchange for your phone. Taking a deep breath, you put it on speaker phone, leaving your hands free to continue working on your makeup.

“Hi ma how’s the party—”

“Where the hell are you young lady? The party started almost an hour ago, do you know how bad this makes me and your father look? You better get your ass over here in ten minutes otherwise we’re cutting your allowance for the month. And bring that Jisung with you; you’re lucky his parents are our friends otherwise they would have severed our deal half an hour ago.”

“Calm down, ma, we’ll be there soon - oh fuck.” You muttered. The spaghetti strap of your dress had suddenly snapped, your hand flying up to keep the dress from falling and expose your bare breast to your best friend. Maybe you should have stopped wearing the dress after the strap began fraying, but it was your favorite summer dress and you were intent on wearing it until the fabric disintegrated in your hands god dammit.

“Language!” Your mother snapped over the phone. “You have ten minutes.” With that, she hung up the phone.

“Jisung, can you hold the strap for a second?” He followed your orders without a second thought, his fingertips tingling where they brushed your skin. You rifled through your vanity drawers before pulling out a safety pin. “Perfect.” You mumbled, passing it back to Jisung.

“Why don’t you just put on a different dress? You know your mom’s gonna have a fit when she sees you fixed your dress with a safety pin.” He scolded, pinning your dress regardless.

“There’s not enough time to put on a whole new dress plus change my makeup and jewelry and shoes to match. The repercussions of mismatched everything versus those of a safety pin? Definitely worse.”

Jisung hummed in understanding, finally clipping the pin in place. “There, all done. Now come on, we have to get across the hill in eight minutes.”

Grabbing Jisung’s outstretched hand, you slipped on your heels and headed out of your room. “It’s a good thing your car could get us there in three.”

“Sure, if we wanna get arrested.”

You only laughed, pulling him out the door of your family’s extravagant home. A light blush dusted Jisung’s cheeks, the skin of your hand soft against his own. He couldn’t be sure when exactly he had fallen in love with you, but damn was it fucking with his heart. Stepping outside, the fresh summer air eased his warm face.  

“Unlock your car dummy!” You whined, pulling lamely at the handle.

“Hands off before you set the alarm off, stupid.” You rolled your eyes, huffing as you crossed your arms over your chest. Digging through the pockets of his khaki shorts, Jisung pulled out his keys and unlocked the car. It beeped loudly and Jisung pulled the driver’s side door open, signalling for you to open your door.

“Did you have to get such a flashy car? You could see and hear this thing from the ISS.”

“You know my parents wouldn’t pay for anything less obnoxious.” The engine revved and he pulled out of your driveway, the large gate shutting closed behind you. It took less than six minutes to make it the the Bang’s mansion, and you made it into the actual house just in time for you to keep your monthly allowance. There was a pair of Jimmy Choo’s you had your eye on, and you’d be damned if you couldn’t buy them by next month’s summer gala. You had barely made it inside the mansion, your arm wrapped tightly around Jisung’s, before your mother came storming over to you.

“God, here she comes. Could you get me some champagne?” You lightly patted Jisung’s arm, pushing him slightly towards the waiters. Jisung reluctantly moved away, not wanting to leave you alone with your furious mother but also knowing how much you hated when your mother scolded you in front of him. Spotting Changbin and Felix across the room, Jisung grabbed two glasses of champagne and headed over towards them. He could just make out your mother’s reprimanding from across the room and winced slightly.

“You know if you didn’t want her to get yelled at you should’ve told Y/n to move her ass so that she’d get here on time.” Changbin deadpanned, his head leaning on his palm as he watched Jisung slide into the seat beside him.

“Oh I tried telling her but you know how she gets when she’s getting ready for these functions, especially when she wants to piss off her mom.”

“No, we don’t actually. You’re the only one who gets to see her highness before her grand entrance. Ruins the surprise, she says.” Felix added, rolling his eyes.

“Well she really likes taking her time, if you couldn’t already tell.”

“Oh, we can tell.” Changbin laughed, taking a swig from one of the champagne glasses Jisung had placed on the table.

“Hey! That was for Y/n!” Jisung whined, hopelessly reaching for the now empty glass.

“I’m sure princess can handle getting her own.”

“Speaking of…” Felix trailed off and Jisung followed his gaze, catching a glimpse of your retreating figure before you disappeared outside.

“I gotta go.” Jisung mumbled. Changbin and Felix nodded in understanding, looking after him with worry laced in their gazes.

❃❃❃❃

The warm summer air brushed against your bare arms and you sat on a stone bench, gazing at the large mansion, light filtering out of every window. You inhaled deeply, revelling in the fresh air void of the mingling of expensive colognes and perfumes that stifled the air inside. It wasn’t rare that you would bump heads with your mother at such events; she always found something wrong with your appearance and, at this point, you were trying to set her off. You weren’t about to let her force you into her ideal family vision without a fight. Besides, it seemed as though the functions were designed specifically to bore you half to death. Why not have some fun, no matter how much trouble you always ended up in.

A dark silhouette approached you from the bottom of the hill where you sat, backlit by the bright lights from the house. Without even seeing his face, you knew it was Jisung. What kind of best friend would you be if you couldn’t immediately recognize his outline? You watched as he made his way up the hill before he finally made it in front of you, hands on his knees while panting heavily.

“Stand up straight, drama queen.” You laugh, lightly kicking him in the shin.

“I climb all the way up that blasted hill for you to treat me like this?” He huffed, sitting down beside you.

“Like I said: drama queen.” Jisung only nudged your shoulder with his own in response. You both sit in silence for a moment, gazing at the party through the floor to ceiling windows that faced you.

“It’s all so pointless, isn’t it?” You break the silence. “Why do we even have to go to these dumb things? They always end in our parents telling us what embarrassments we are to our family names. And we always end up sneaking out anyways.”

“What did your mom say this time?”

“Oh, the usual. Making a bad impression for the rest of the family. What will the investors think of the company if I’m meant to be the future CEO. All her greatest hits.”

“Those don’t usually cause you to get so pissed. In all the years we’ve come to these dumb things I’ve never seen you storm out like this. So tell me, what’s really up?” He pried, turning to face you.

“I think I’m just…finally feeling the stress of being the company’s supposed future.” You shrug. “Now that I’m in college and learning all this shit while my parents continue to step on my back, it’s all finally becoming a reality, I guess.”

Jisung nodded in agreement, bringing his hand down to rub comforting circles on your thigh. Now that your little band of company children was growing up and one-by-one entering college,  you were all coming to realize the weight that rested on your shoulders. He himself, luckily, had taken a liking to business and had quite a knack for the subject as well, leaving him in good graces with his parents and future career. However, he was just now realizing that you hardly spoke of your studies with any of your group of friends, and it worried him. In fact, you didn’t even share any classes with him that past year, despite going to the same university and supposedly studying the same subject.

“I know I shouldn’t complain. I mean, we’re all going through the same thing and in the end we’ll all have great jobs without even worrying and we’ll be living comfortably. But, it just seems wrong, you know? Like my parents have so much fucking money but they don’t do anything with it. It just sits in their fucking bank accounts accruing more and more interest. I wish they were more like your parents; actually donating their money instead of keeping it all to themselves.”

“You and I both know my parents only donate so that they can get good press at charity benefits.” Jisung snorted.

“Better to donate for publicity rather than not at all.” You sighed, kicking lamely at a rock.

“Yo, we’re gonna bounce in a couple minutes, you guys wanna come?” Felix calls from the base of the hill, his voice carrying above the dismal orchestral piece drifting from indoors.

“Nah I’m gonna stay here for a bit, maybe we’ll catch you later.” Jisung calls back.

“You don’t have to stay here just for me,” you nudge his side. “I’m perfectly fine sitting here alone and reflecting on all of my miseries.”

“Like I’d ever let that happen. Now c’mon, I wanna take you away from this wretched party.” He bounces up, reaching his hand out for you to grasp.

“Wow, big words. That college education is really teaching you well.”

“Oh, shut up.” Jisung rolls his eyes, forcefully pulling you up so that you stumble a bit, his hands immediately coming to your sides to steady you. “Now let’s go for a ride.”

❃❃❃❃

Jisung struggled to keep his eyes on the road, attention constantly flitting between you and the dark tar ahead. You insisted that he leave the windows down and the wind whistled through your hair, but you hardly minded. Jisung always seemed to know just what you needed when you needed it, and right now you needed to feel free. The headlights of Jisung’s brand new car pierced the dark night as you travelled through the guarded neighborhood your families resided in. Whipping around turns, much to your amusement, Jisung made his way up the side of the small mountain at the center of your development. Making a sharp left, you cut onto a semi-concealed road you had hardly paid attention to in the past.

“Shortcut.” Jisung muttered, noticing your apprehension.

“Not like I know where we’re going anyways.”

“I doubt you’d know where it is even if I told you.” He smirked, glancing briefly at your expression of feigned offense.

“You think I could spend my entire life in this blasted development without exploring every inch of it?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking.” The car came to a rolling stop in a small clearing. You gazed out of the windshield in awe at the sight before you. Jisung was right, there was a lot you didn’t know about the environment you grew up in. The clearing was at the perfect level to view the city that lay beyond your community as well as the night sky. Jisung couldn’t take his eyes off of you, your own filled with utter fascination, the stars reflected in your eyes. He climbed out of the car after a beat, breaking you out of your frozen state and following his lead. Settling on the hood of his car, you leaned your head on his shoulder.

“I found this spot by chance one day. I was in a similar mood, didn’t know what the point of my future was. Chan had mentioned it off handedly one time and I figured it was my turn to try and find the famed spot. It’s strange; I didn’t know where it was but I somehow found myself driving out here, as if something was calling to me. I think we’ve all come up here at one point or another, you’re the last one.”

“Why didn’t you bring me up here before?” You cried in indignation, sitting up to smack his arm.

“Ow hey don’t hit me!” Jisung pouted. “It’s kind of like, ritual to only come up here when you’re having a mental breakdown basically. It seemed like it was finally your time to join the club.”

“Bold of you to assume I’ve never had a mental breakdown before.” You snorted, rubbing your arms lightly to warm them from the cooling night air.

“I hope you know how concerning that is.” Jisung shrugs his jacket off to drape over your shoulders. “Why didn’t you bring a jacket with you?”

“Sorry, how was I supposed to know you were going to drag me up a mountain?”

“You should know by now that we always end up anywhere else besides the actual party for these functions.”

“Maybe so.” You mumbled, pulling his jacket tighter around your frame.

“You know you can tell me anything.” Jisung reached out to rest his hand over yours.

“I know, but some things are better kept inside my head.”

“But I care about you, Y/n, and it worries me to know there are things you won’t share with me.”

“I can take care of myself Jisung. There’s no point in troubling you with my shit too.”

“I want you to trouble me! In fact, it’s more troubling to hear all of this afterwards than if you just came to me in the moment. It kind of hurts knowing my best friend doesn’t want to confide in me.”

“There’s more to it than that Jisung. Let’s just drop for now, ok?”

Jisung glanced at you apprehensively before huffing out a sigh and returning his attention to the night sky. Stars littered the sky, battling the bright city lights in order to be seen. The headlights of cars travelling below you held your focus, eyes flitting between the blurring colors. Jisung, however, couldn’t get your conversation out of his head. Out of the years you had known each other you had always bent over backwards to help him and your friends. Whenever they attempted to reach out a helping hand, however, you always swatted it away without batting an eye. He wanted to be your rock as much as you were his, but you made it nearly impossible to do so.

“I care about you a lot, you know that right?”

“I know, Jisung, I care about you too.”

“No, I mean I really—”

A loud honk cut Jisung off and you both whipped your heads around to be blinded by the headlights of Chan’s car. It rolled to a stop besides you and Changbin jumped out, slamming the door behind him.

“We figured we’d find you guys up here.” He smiled, walking over to pull you off of Jisung’s car and into his arms. “You didn’t even stop to say hi at the party. I haven’t seen you since spring break you snake.”

“I’ve been busy!” You laughed, returning his embrace.

“Not too busy for Han over there, though.”

“Maybe if you went to the same uni as us we’d see each other more often.”

“Maybe if you guys were smart enough to get into my uni I’d see you more often.”

“Oh fuck off.” Jisung frowned, slipping off his car to walk over.

“Don’t be mean Changbin.” Dropping your arms to your sides, you delivered a sharp jab to his side.

“You know I love you guys.” He sang, wrapping his arm around your waist.

“Yea, whatever.” Jisung mumbled, rolling his eyes. “Why were you guys looking for us anyways?”

“We saw you leave the party before we were able to make our escape and since we haven’t seen you guys in so long we figured you’d like to hang. We’re going to get gelato.

“Yo hurry up I’m killing the environment over here!” Chan yelled from the driver’s side.

“That’s why you turn the car off, dumbass!” Changbin replied in reply before turning back around to face you. “So, feel like coming now?”

“Yea, I missed you guys but gelato especially. It’s just not the same at uni.”

“Nice to know where your priorities lie.”

“Jisung, you wanna come?”

He nodded in agreeance. “C’mon, Y/n. We’ll meet you guys there.”

Changbin hopped back into the car and Chan drove off. Opening the driver’s side door, Jisung slid onto the seat, waiting for you to get in before following the others.

❃❃❃❃

“God, this is so much better than the stores at school.” Jisung shovelled another spoonful of gelato into his mouth, savoring the sweet taste.

“Slow down, you might choke.” You laughed, eating a spoonful of your own.

“I would die happy if this is how I went.”

“The rest of us would be happy too.” Seungmin piped up, laughing as Jisung shot him a dirty look.

“What kind did you get Y/n?” Felix asked, pulling your attention away from the sight of Jisung chasing Seungmin up and down the sidewalk.

“Hazelnut and chocolate. What about y—”

“Again? Y/n you always get the same boring flavors, try something new for once.” Jisung abruptly cut you off, falling down to sit beside you on the bench.

“Well sorry if I don’t want to kill my tastebuds with whatever concoction you came up with this time.”

“Peppermint and fig! It’s actually pretty good, wanna try?”

“Absolutely not.” The mere sight of the two colors melting together into a puce had your nose crinkling in disgust.

“Your loss.” He shrugged before moving to steal a spoonful of your own gelato.

“Not on my watch.” You swatted his hand away, glaring at his bold attempt. “What happened to not having the same boring flavors?”

“I was talking about you, I haven’t had hazelnut and chocolate in a while.”

“Well then why didn’t you get your own?”

“It’s tastes better when I steal from other people.” He grinned, eyes twinkling with mischief.

“You’re insufferable.” You groaned, swirling your gelato together with your spoon.

“Yea but you love me.”

“I guess I do love you, idiot.”

Jisung wished you knew how much those words meant to him.

“Oi Jisung weren’t you saying you were gonna have a pool party next week?”  Felix drew your attention back to the rest of the group, who evidently had been discussing more pressing matters.

“Oh yea, my parents are out for a business trip and it’s supposed to be hella hot. It’s gonna be like the first official get together for the whole group.”

“Hell yea it’s gonna be lit!”

“Please never say that again Chan.” Felix groaned.

“Oh so when you guys say it it’s cool but when I say it it’s weird?”

“Exactly.” Felix deadpanned, everyone laughing at Chan’s flustered state.

“Sorry old man, you can never be one of the kids.” Seungmin patted his back. “At least you have Woojin.”

“We’re barely older than you guys! Besides, he’s not even here to back me up right now it’s not fair!”

“Save it for the pool party then, we should all be there”

Chan huffed, sitting back on the bench while crossing his arms.

“You’re coming, right?” Jisung asked, poking your side lightly.

“Of course!” You grinned. “It’s not a family reunion if we’re not all there!”

Jisung flinched a little when you referred to your group as a family. Sure, you had all grown up together, but Jisung sure as hell didn’t want to be seen as a brother to you. A very distant cousin, maybe, but even that was pushing it. Realizing just how weird his thoughts were getting, Jisung lightly shook his head and forced himself to listen to the conversation going on around him. Family was better than nothing, he supposed.

❃❃❃❃

Driving up Jisung’s extensive driveway, you could hear the pool party long before you saw it. Windows rolled down, loud laughter drifted into your car along with the warm summer air. Giddy with the prospect of finally reuniting with your full friend group, you parked your car and hopped out. You grabbed your small bag and skipped around the side of the mansion to the backyard where the pool lay. Rounding the corner, you almost ran straight into Felix.

“Yo, Y/n! Nice of you to finally join us!”

“You know she always has to come fashionably late.” Changbin called from the pool, playfully rolling his eyes.

“Of course, it’s my signature move.” You huffed, crossing your arms as you walked to place your things down on one of the many decorated pool chairs. You barely had the chance to let go of your bag before a very wet body ran up to you and latched onto your back. The force nearly knocked you over and you had to steady yourself with a hand on the pool chair before turning around.

“Hi, Jeongin.” You grinned, ruffling his wet hair.

“I missed you! I can’t believe you and Jisung decided to go to uni so far away, it’s not fair to the rest of us!”

“I missed you too, Innie,” you said with a laugh. “And it’s the parents wish, I had no choice.”

“Yea well it sucks.” Jeongin pouted, swaying you around in his grasp.

“Let her breath, Jeongin. You’re not the only one who missed her.” Woojin sidled over as the younger reluctantly released you from his grasp. Before Woojin could embrace you, Felix called out.

“Get in the water, losers. It’s what all the cool kids are doing.”

“Who are you calling loser, loser?” Woojin quipped back, motioning for you to follow him into the pool regardless.

“Let me take my shirt off first.” You laughed, preparing to remove your cover before a pair of arms once again wrapped around your waist.

“Lee Minho don’t you dare.” You attempted to glare behind you to no avail.

“Sorry I can’t hear you.” He sang in your ear, picking you up and promptly dropping you into the pool. Spluttering, you re-emerged from the water, shooting daggers at the laughing boy standing by the edge of the pool.

“That���s what you get for leaving us all here.”

“Jisung left too!” You exclaimed, pointing to the shocked boy across the pool. Jisung grinned sheepishly, waving lightly at you.

“Yea but this is his house so I have to be nice.” Minho shrugged, sliding into the pool beside you.

“You suck.” You mumbled, peeling your now drenched shirt off and placing it on the side of the pool.

“Yo, Minho, come over here! We’re playing chicken and everyone knows we’re the A team.” Hyunjin called him over, Seungmin already on top of Chan’s shoulders, game face on and ready to destroy anyone who dared to cross his path.

“Minho better watch out, Seungmin just lost his favorite pair of Gucci slides and he’s on the warpath.” Jisung piped up from beside you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders.

“Dude how are you so warm? The water’s freezing.”

Jisung shrugged. “I guess I’m just warm blooded.”

“We’re all warm blooded.”

“Well then I’m extra warm blooded.”

“It feels nice.” You mumbled, wrapping your arms around his waist so that you could steal more of his warmth. Jisung’s cheeks flushed and he tried desperately to calm his blush by staring at the bloodbath taking place before the two of you.

“Jesus Christ Seungmin don’t strangle him!” Woojin called out, acting as referee while trying to pry Seungmin’s hands from around Minho’s neck. Gasping dramatically for breath, Minho signalled for Hyunjin to let him down.

“I don’t think we should play anymore, Seungmin’s out for blood.”

“That’s loser talk!” Seungmin shouted, still sat on Chan’s shoulders as he pumped his fists in victory.

“If losing means I get to keep my life then I’ll gladly accept that title.”

Chan, having enough of Seungmin’s tirade, promptly fell backwards. Seungmin yelped in surprise, flailing his arms helplessly as he was dunked underwater. Jisung could feel your laughter vibrating against his chest and he wrapped his arms tighter around you, resting his cheek on the top of your head. Eyes trained on the splash fight breaking out in front of you, you failed to notice Minho coming up behind you. With a quick flick of his wrist, Minho pulled the strings holding your bikini up in a tight bow. You whipped your hands from around Jisung’s waist to keep from exposing yourself.

“What the hell, Minho? What are you, in middle school?” You snapped, glaring as he swam away, devilish laughter following in his wake.

“My revenge is complete.” Minho sent you a wink before diving under the water, swimming over to Chagbin and grabbing his ankle, the younger letting out a yell of surprise.

Rolling your eyes, you turned back to Jisung with a pout.

“Can you help me re-tie it? And double knot it, please.” Jisung nodded meekly in compliance and you turned around once more to allow him easier access to the strings. He fumbled with them, hands shaking slightly as his fingertips brushed against the bare skin of your back.

“All done.” He mumbled, pulling the knot tight.

“Thank you.” You crooned, patting his cheek lightly before wading over to where the rest of your friends were swimming about. In a desperate attempt at cooling his reddened cheeks, Jisung dunked himself in the cool water, shaking his hair out after resurfacing. Wiping water away from is eyes, he joined his friends, latching himself onto Minho’s back as he watched you laugh at something Chan had just said. The water perfectly reflected the sun’s rays, basking you in a warm glow. Jisung only prayed Minho couldn’t feel the way his heart beat faster at the image of you.

Having spent nearly two hours playing in a pool under the hot summer sun, you all slowly gravitated out of the water to bask on the pool chairs. The sun embraced you in a comforting warmth after being in the cool water for so long, and you happily lay on your stomach. You had nearly slipped out of consciousness when a foot nudged you on the side. Glancing up, you found Jisung sat on the chair next to you, everyone else having gone inside a few minutes before.

“We’re all gonna get cleaned up and then watch a movie, you sticking around?”

You nodded sleepily, rolling over and holding out your hands for Jisung to grab onto and help pull you up.

“Can I stay over tonight? I don’t think I’ll be awake enough to drive back home.”

“Of course, did you bring anything to sleep in?”

“I’ve left enough clothes here over the years to have my own closet in your house.” You snorted, bumping your shoulder with his.

“I think my mom was actually talking about setting up one of our guest rooms as your own personal room, you’re here so often.”

“What can I say, your parents treat me better than my own.” You laughed lightly, shrugging your shoulders. Before Jisung was able to express his concern, you had already bolted inside. Sighing heavily, Jisung made his way to his own room only to find you rifling through his drawers.

“Ah, perfect!” You held up one of his worn band t-shirts that lay around from his brief pop-punk phase during high school. “I can’t believe you still have this thing.”

“You always wear it when you sleep over, how could I get rid of it?”

“Aw, Jisung you’re so thoughtful!” You cooed, ruffling his hair as you walked past him to get to one of the many bathrooms. “I’ll take the shower down the hall, I’m guessing we’re meeting in the cinema.”

Jisung nodded, eyes following you down the hall before you disappeared into the bathroom. He shuffled around his room, grabbing clean clothes, before making his way to the bathroom attached to his room. The warm water of the shower helped him clear his head, if only momentarily, of all thoughts of you. After showering, he quickly got dressed. Towelling his hair dry, Jisung made his way down the stairs and towards the small in home cinema in the basement.

“For once Y/n isn’t the last one to show up!” Changbin cheered, earning himself a sharp kick to his side courtesy of you.

“Yea, we thought you were drowning in there or something.”

Jisung chucked his towel at Seungmin, the now damp cloth landing squarely on his head. Seungmin squawked, frantically pulling the material off, exclaiming something about how disgusting Jisung was. Laughing at his friend’s vexation, Jisung plopped down in between where you and Woojin sat.

“Hey c’mon man.” Woojin groaned, Jisung having practically sat on top of him.

“Let me sit next to my best friend!” He whined.

“Yea because you guys never saw each other when you were off at university together four hours away from the rest of us.”

Jisung only stuck his tongue out in response, nuzzling further into the cushions and your side. Almost as a reflex, you brought your hand up to run through his hair, Jisung automatically relaxing into you.

“Since someone decided to take an hour in the shower we decided on watching The Wailing.”

“Oh c’mon I was only in there for like, fifteen minutes tops this is so unfair!”

“Listen, it’s already started!”

“Don’t worry I’ll protect you.” You whispered into his ear, a teasing lilt to your voice.

“Shut up.” He mumbled, but he still found himself tightening his grip on your waist a tad bit more. Sensing his acceptance, you smiled lightly and continued to stroke his head.

❃❃❃❃

Jisung barely noticed when the lights turned back on; considering his head was practically buried into your chest it made sense he was unable to notice the change in lighting. You were about to lightly nudge him when Woojin delivered a sharp smack to the back of Jisung’s head. He jolted further into your embrace before he lifted his head up, scowling at both the harsh lighting and the pain of Woojin’s slap.

“What was that for?” He groaned, rubbing the sore area.

“Movie’s over.” Woojin gave a curt response, still sour over being squashed earlier.

“I can see that. Now all of you get out of my house.”

“So rude, not even seeing us out.” Chan tsked, shaking his head. “Y/n, shouldn’t you be heading out too? It’s getting pretty late.”

You shook your head. “Nah, I’m sleeping over tonight. Too tired.”

“Ok kids, stay safe, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

“Shut up old man.”

“Again, I’m barely older than you guys!”

“Old enough!” Jeongin’s voice sounded from the hallway.

“I’ll see you two later, I gotta go kill Jeongin real quick.” Chan flashed a sickeningly sweet smile before taking off, the sounds of Jeongin’s screams reverberating around the house.

“Can we eat? I’m pretty sure we skipped dinner.” Your voice pulled Jisung’s attention away from his murderous friend.

“Oh, shit you’re right I’m so sorry. I think there’s some leftovers from my parents’ brunch party yesterday, how’s that sound?”

“That sounds perfect.” You grinned, already standing up to head out of the room. The two of you padded towards the kitchen, Jisung pulling the refrigerator open as you sat at the island countertop. The microwave hummed, cold leftovers rotating in an almost mesmerizing manner.

“What are your parents off doing this time?” You questioned, choosing to break the comfortable silence.

“Hm? Oh, they’re trying to expand the European branch, hoping they’ll be able to pull off more trips to Italy cloaked as business trips.”

“Smart, my parents are doing the same thing in Singapore. Trying to break into the Crazy Rich Asians crowd.”

“Man, we should’ve been cast in that movie.”

“Yea, because we definitely look like we’re in our mid-twenties and early-thirties.”

Jisung focused on you for a moment, eyes squinting. You felt your cheeks flush, caught off guard by his intense gaze. Seemingly coming to a conclusion, he nodded his head.

“You could definitely pass.” He grinned.

“Do you want to die?” You exclaimed, springing out of your chair and rushing over to him, wrapping your arm around his neck in a feeble attempt at a headlock.

“You walked into that one, what was I supposed to do?” Jisung cackled, a mixture of laughter and wheezing escaping his lungs.

“Doesn’t mean you had to say it.” You whined, dropping your arms, effectively releasing him from your grasp.

“You know I love you.” Jisung pinched your cheeks and you promptly swatted his hands away.

“Meanie.”

The microwave chimed and Jisung opened the door, pulling your plate out. Placing it beside his own on the counter, you both sat down and began eating.

“Did your chef make all of this? It’s fucking delicious.” You exclaimed, words muffled by chewed up waffles.

“How ladylike.” Jisung winced. “And they actually got catering for this, the chef is on a family vacation right now.”

“You have to give me their contact info, this is exactly what I want for our midsummer’s bash.”

“I thought your parents didn’t want breakfast for dinner.”

“They’re letting me organize the event for once so it’s my choice.” You huffed, stabbing at the strawberries Jisung had diligently sliced up for you.

“Ok, well I’ll ask my parents to send me the information and I’ll send it to you.”

“Thank you Jisung!” You sang, happily shovelling another piece of waffle into your mouth.

❃❃❃❃

After finishing your meal, the two of you headed upstairs to get washed up. Mouths full of toothpaste, Jisung crossed his eyes at you through the mirror and you almost choked on your spit from laughter. You poked his cheeks in retaliation, causing Jisung to jump away from your offending finger. Spitting into the sink, you rinsed your mouth, waiting for Jisung to do the same before heading towards his bedroom. Without hesitation you dove into his queen sized bed, turning on his bedside lamp so that he could turn off the overhead lights. Jisung lifted up the covers, sliding in hastily and turning to face you.

“Hi.” You grinned, tangling your legs together.

“Your feet are cold.” He whined, kicking desperately to escape your vice like grip but to no avail.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily.” Laughing, you wrapped your arms around his torso to further prove your point. Now face to face with you, Jisung’s eyes darted in an attempt to avoid your gaze, cheeks flushed red. God, why did you have to be so pretty?

“I wish we could have spent more time together at school.” You sighed, loosening your arms in order to lazily finger at the hem of his shirt.

“We literally hung out all the time, what are you talking about?”

“I mean, I don’t know, I just wish I wasn’t such a baby.”

“I’m not following you.”

You inhaled deeply before letting out a huff of frustration. The room grew silent as Jisung waited for you to collect your thoughts and, hopefully, explain exactly what you were talking about.

“I’m scared, Jisung. Scared of what my parents will think, what the guys will think, what you will think.”

“You’re the one scaring me here, Y/n. What’s going on? Are you - you’re not pregnant are you?” Jisung’s heartbeat sped up at the thought of you with anyone else besides him. He was with you all the time, there was no way he would have missed another guy, and there was no way you wouldn’t tell him if you were in a relationship.

“No, dumbass.” You rolled your eyes, smacking his stomach.

“Well then tell me what’s going on!” He exclaimed, growing frustrated with your rambling tangents.

“Fine. You know how we didn’t share any classes all year even though you were taking basically all business courses and how you kept asking me about it every day and I’d always just say I was in different timeblocks?”

“Yea…?”

“I didn’t take any business classes last semester. In fact, I haven’t taken any since I got to uni. I’m not a business major, Jisung. The reason you haven’t seen me in class or even around campus is because I’ve only taken courses in the liberal arts.”

Jisung faltered. It all made sense, he supposed. At least, why he never saw you during the school day. He had believed your excuses, you made compelling arguments. There were a few times he had wandered out of the business department towards the History Triangle when he could have sworn he saw you, but he had brushed it off as a fluke. People were allowed to inhabit areas of campus that didn’t pertain to their major, afterall.

“I tried to take a business course first semester, in fact my whole schedule was business and stats and all that bullshit. But I went to my first class and sat there and I just, I couldn’t do it Jisung. I felt like, if that was what my future was gonna be, I didn’t want to have a future. After that first class I dropped all the other ones and signed up for random courses and I found out I have a real affinity for history and literature. I wanted to tell you, Jisung, I really did but I was just so scared you’d hate me and, god please don’t be mad at me.”

“I’m not mad you’re not doing business, Y/n. It was pretty obvious all throughout high school you hated it. I’m just mad you didn’t tell me.”

“I already said I tried—”

“I’m your best friend. You shouldn’t be scared of me. Do you even know why I decided to go to the same school as you? I got into the same school as Changbin, you know, I could’ve stayed here if I wanted to.”

Your eyes widened in shock; when you were receiving acceptance letters Jisung had made it seem as though he had only gotten into the same school as you.

“I went there for you, Y/n. I - I didn’t want you to be alone and—”

“You didn’t have to do that…”

“Let me finish. You were so excited when you found out we both got in, I couldn’t just abandon you. I know you only went because of your parents. Plus, the business department is better there, but don’t tell Changbin I said that.”

“Don’t lie Jisung. I know that was your dream school.”

“My dream school is wherever you are.”

“Oh my god shut up you idiot.” You rolled your eyes, pinching his chest. Swiftly, he engulfed your hand in his own and held it pressed to his chest.

“I’m serious, Y/n. You’re really, you’re so dense sometimes. I thought you were supposed to be the smart one out of the two of us.” Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion and Jisung only sighed in frustration. “I’m in love with you, idiot.” He blurted out, cheeks flushing as he averted his eyes to the window that lay behind you.

“You’re what?” You shot up right, eyes blown wide.

“I’m in love with you?” He mumbled, eyes still refusing to meet your own. Pushing him onto his back, you moved to straddle him with your arms crossed over your chest, eyes narrowed.

“Han Jisung, just how long have you been in love with me?”

“I don’t know…a couple of years?”

“Years? God, you’re right, I am an idiot.”

“Can you just reject me already, I’m dying of embarrassment down here.”

“Reject you? Why the hell would I do that? Han Jisung I’ve been in love with you since sophomore year of high school when you fucking spilled your water on me during soph hop.”

Jisung sat up, his arms wrapping around your waist to steady you. “Why would you fall in love with me then? That’s, like, in my top ten most embarrassing moments, right in front of this one.”

“Because you practically started crying you were so scared I was gonna stop being friends with you.” You laughed fondly at the memory. “You were so cute, shoving napkins at me. When you took off your jacket so that I could wear it, I don’t know, I just kind of fell for you.”

“God, how are we both the most dumb?” He groaned, burying his head in your chest.

“We can be dumb together.” You laughed, stroking the top of his head.

“You’re serious? I mean, you really do like me?”

“No, Jisung, I love you.” You reiterated, cupping his cheeks to bring him eye level to you.

“Good.” He mumbled, eyes locked with your lips. “Now can I please kiss you? These past few years have been torture without them.”

“You act as though I’ve kissed you before.”

“Don’t you remember? Winter break, junior year, in the cabin?”

“Oh god don’t remind me of that. There’s no way it counts as our first kiss, it was horrible.”

“I thought it wasn’t that bad.” Jisung pouted.

“Dude I was so drunk. Just kiss me already.”

Jisung gladly complied, tightening his hold on your waist as he leaned up slightly to press his lips to yours.

Your first kiss had taken place during an impromptu game of spin the bottle sat on the first floor of Hyunjin’s family cabin. You had probably drank a little bit too much and Jisung was no better. When the bottle had landed on you after Jisung spun, his heart nearly fell right out of his ass and directly onto the plush carpeted floor. It was a sloppy kiss, barely lasting five seconds, and it was overpowered by the taste of alcohol on your lips. This kiss trumped that first one by a landslide, and Jisung definitely didn’t mind if you both chose to forget it ever happened in favor of this one. His lips melded with yours perfectly, taking a moment to warm up to each other before you both began to move in unison. Hands still holding his cheeks, you moved to run your fingers through his hair, pulling a muffled sigh from his lips. Without a second thought, Jisung’s hands ran down your waist to gently cup your ass. Pulling away in surprise, you eyed the wide smirk spread across his face.

“Han Jisung you cheeky boy.”

Jisung only laughed in response, already swooping in for another kiss.

❃❃❃❃

You stood in front of your parents study, wringing your hands together from nerves. Jisung’s hands were on your waist, rubbing soothing circles into your side. It had been a week since you and Jisung became official and your entire inner circle already knew. No one was shocked, in fact both of your parents were completely overjoyed and the boys almost broke a table out of excitement (Minho might have got a little teary-eyed when he found out but he begs to differ). There was already talk of a wedding floating around, which you and Jisung chose to ignore for the sake of your own sanity. After you and Jisung had settled down from your initial lovers high, he had somehow convinced you to tell your parents that you weren’t studying business, which leads us to where you’re currently stood.

“Can you please come with me to tell my parents? They probably won’t kill me if you’re there.” You whined, tugging at his shirt sleeve.

“Sorry, baby, you’re on your own for this one. You can do it, be strong, I believe in you.”

“Baby?”

“Yea, I get to call you that now. The perks of being your boyfriend.”

“Yes, the perks are calling me gross pet names, not the great honor of being able to call me your girlfriend.”

“Baby is not a gross pet name, it’s cute!”

“Sure, Han.”

“Just go in, I’ll be right out here, ok?”

Taking in a shaky breath, you nodded and pulled at the end of your skirt in an attempt to straighten it out. Jisung placed a quick peck on your forehead and pushed the door open for you, watching it swing shut behind you. Undeniably stressed for you, Jisung wiped his sweaty palms on the front of his pants and took a seat on the bench facing your parent’s office. His leg bounced uncontrollably as he strained his ears, trying to catch any snippet of the conversation taking place inside. A loud shriek sounded from behind the door, no doubt your mother, and Jisung winced at the exclamation. He had half a mind to go in and help, but you were strong and he knew you could handle it on your own. Besides, he’d probably somehow end up worsening the situation. A few more minutes passed with no further exclamations and Jisung thought it best to distract himself. Sitting back on the bench so that his back met the wall, Jisung took out his phone and began mindlessly playing whatever app he could find.

Nearly half an hour passed before the door slowly creaked out, your expression unreadable as you made your way over to sit beside him. Fumbling with his phone, he pocketed the device and turned to face you, his hands automatically going to hold your own.

“Well…?” He trailed off, unsure of whether he should console or congratulate you.

“They’re not that happy, at least not my mom as you could probably hear. My dad was more sympathetic, I don’t think he ever really expected me to take over the business, to be honest. My mom’ll get over it, too. Eventually. For now party planning privileges have been taken away so no more breakfast for dinner at the midsummer bash.” You shrugged. “Oh yea, also this month’s allowance has been taken away but that’s just because my dad’s mad I didn’t tell him right away. Guess the Jimmy Choo’s will have to wait.”

“See, that’s not so bad! Honestly, I’m a little surprised that’s all.”

“If we weren’t dating it’d definitely be much worse. However, since everyone’s convinced we’re getting married, they figure we’ll just merge our companies together when you take over for your parents.”

Jisung’s cheeks flushed at the mention of marriage and nodded along to your parent’s reasoning. “See, now aren’t you glad we’re dating?”

“What made you think I wasn’t glad to begin with?”

“I’m teasing, baby.”

“I will break up with you if you keep calling me that.”

“You wouldn’t dare. We’re getting married soon, remember?”

“Slow your roll there buddy, it’s been one week.”

“A man can dream.”

❃❃❃❃

Jisung once again found himself sprawled across your bed as you prepared for the midsummer’s bash. He absentmindedly threw your stuffed bear up into the air, catching it as it came back down.

“You know it’s kind of rude to show up late to your own party.” He called out, giving up on the bear and focusing on your back instead.

“Technically it’s not my party since I wasn’t allowed to plan.” You quipped back, perfecting your winged eyeliner.

“Is it really a great idea to piss off your mom more than she already is?”

“Oh she doesn’t care, she’s busy fretting over her precious lobster spread.”

“You are so petty, you know that right?”

“But you still love me.” You grinned, spinning around in your chair to face him. “All done.”

“Let’s go, princess.”

“Hmmm, princess, I like that a lot better than baby.”

“Finally, a pet name she agrees to.” Jisung flung his arms up in mock exasperation, moving to pull you up out of your chair. “C’mon, let’s go grace everyone with your lovely presence.”

“As you wish.” You placed your hand into his outstretched palm, standing up to head outside.

Your entire backyard was lit up by thousands of fairy lights, round tables covered in white lace perfectly placed so that wide area was left open to act as a dance floor. A string quartet sat on a raised platform, Mozart floating around the open area. Friends and business partners mingled about the premise and you immediately spotted your group of friends clustered around the banquet table. You tugged lightly at Jisung’s hand, pulling him over to where they stood.

“A chocolate fountain, nice touch.”

“Breakfast for dinner is better you traitor.” You huff, releasing his hand as an act of protest as you approached the table.

“Uh oh, trouble in paradise already?” Felix laughed, chocolate staining his pristine new polo shirt.

“You spilled, idiot.” Seungmin pointed out.

“Fuck mom’s gonna kill me.” He mumbled, immediately grabbing a glass of water and dabbing at the brown splotch.

“And we thought we were the dumb ones.” Jisung laughed into your ear.

“Sorry I don’t talk to traitors.” You quipped, crossing your arms while turning to face Woojin.

“How did you already fuck this up Jisung? I was really rooting for you guys.” Minho groaned, punching Jisung’s arm.

“I just said the chocolate fountain was a good idea! Trust me, Y/n, breakfast for dinner would have been so much better than this.”

“Fine.” You sniffed haughtily, returning your hand to hold onto his forearm.

“Oh fuck my dad’s coming over.” Chan muttered. “He’s been bugging me all week about asking out the Kang’s daughter ever since you guys started dating. Gotta blast!” Promptly, he set his plate on the nearest table and made a beeline towards the now crowded dance floor.

“We’re gonna go too, Chan’s not the only one being pestered by adults to start dating.” All of your friends vacated the area and, before you could follow suit, Mr Bang’s hand landed squarely on Jisung’s shoulder, causing him to jump in surprise.

“Hello, Mr. Bang!” You greeted, a cordial smile immediately making its way onto your face.

“I’m so happy for you kids, really. It’s about time you two got together! The other kids need to step up their game before it’s too late.” He chuckled, taking a bite of the lobster that sat on his plate. “I heard the companies are gonna combine, think you can handle in, Han?”

“Oh he definitely can Mr. Bang! His grades are absolutely incredible, he’ll make a great CEO.” You smiled proudly up at Jisung, his face flushing at your praise.

“I’m not that great.” He mumbled, shuffling his feet awkwardly.

“Oh shut up you’re practically the top student in your major!”

“Ah, young love. These are gonna be some of the best days of your life, better enjoy them while you can. Enjoy the party, it’s wonderfully put together!” Mr. Bang exclaimed. “Your mother did a great job, Y/n.”

“Thank you, Mr. Bang, I’ll be sure to tell her.” You smiled through gritted teeth, Jisung wincing as you tightened your grip on his hand.

“But you know what would make this party so much better?” Mr. Bang leaned in closer as if ready to spill a juicy secret. “Three words: breakfast for dinner.” Too shocked to respond, you stood in silence as his wife called him over. Mr. Bang bid his farewell, plate of lobster legs in hand. Snapping out of your shock, a wide grin spread across your lips and you turned to face Jisung.

“See! I fucking told you it would bring this whole thing together!” You cried once he was out of ear shot, jabbing a finger into Jisung’s chest. He grabbed your finger, pressing a chaste kiss to the tip.

“How about we get out of here and find some breakfast of our own?” He winked, eyes reflecting the twinkling fairy lights strung around your backyard. Grinning in response, you grabbed his hand and led him towards his car, his grip tightening as you reached the front of your house. He could already taste the waffles.

Going Home

By: ReluctantHero

Summary: The war is over, the titans are gone, and there’s only one place that Levi wants to be.

Relationship: Erwin/Levi

Read: Below or AO3

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO @captain-redchar !!!

(Its after 12am where you are so you’re getting it now! <3)

You are such an amazing artist, a kind person, and a great friend! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you lately (and gushing about Eruri with you--they’re just so perfect) I hope you have the most amazing birthday!! <3<3<3

When I asked Capt what they would like in an Eruri fic, they told me; “Canon without Titans” and Fluff XD

Well I did my best to make the fluffiest non-titan fic of these two old men in love. I really hope you like it <3<3<3

Levi rode his horse to the top of the hill, his eyes peeled as he looked out over the horizon; everything bathed in the soft glow of sunrise.

The war was over, the titans were gone; humanity had finally won.

Levi had taken what was left of his comrades' home, many tattered and broken like himself, but all heroes. They celebrated their victory, they honored their fallen, and they dreamed of what their new future would hold.

The celebration carried on for days; people from all over coming to thank the Heroes of Humanity. Levi had never spoken to so many people in his life, never shook so many hands, never been regarded so highly; even from those who had lost loved ones under his command.

He should have been happy, standing alongside Hange, knowing that they had helped save the world.  

He was happy that the war was over, he was relieved that there would be no more fighting, no more strategic planning, no more titans. But it was all bittersweet when the person who had paved the way toward victory was not there to celebrate with them.

Levi left everyone behind, riding his horse into the night; following the directions of a faded memory, unsure if there would even be anything waiting for him at his destination.

The little house was just as he remembered; far enough from the town to be secluded but close enough that getting supplies didn’t have to be a hassle. The small walkway had been cleaned up, flowers growing neatly beside it and there was a fresh coat of paint on the shutters, trim, and front door.

Levi smiled as he climbed off of his horse, bringing her over to the water trough and tying her on. He looked around at the peacefulness of the property in the early morning sun; the nearby bushes trimmed and filled with ripening berries, a small garden behind the house sprouting a fresh batch of vegetables, and a little birdhouse hanging from the tree beside the water trough, filled with singing birds.

It was the perfect house for retirement.

Levi’s heart quickened in his chest as he walked up the step and knocked on the front door. He knew who was inside, he didn’t have to be told but the thought made his heart beat even faster.

The door opened barely a moment later and there he was; the most beautiful man Levi had ever known. Levi’s eyes traveled over his body; thinner than he had been the last time they met, some of the hard muscles softening with lack of constant training. Gray hairs littered the scruff on his jaw and gathered by his temple, there were thin lines beside his eyes and the corners of his mouth, but he was Erwin and Levi felt himself falling in love all over again.

Erwin’s blue eyes traveled over Levi as well, filling with emotion as his arm wrapped around Levi’s back and pulled him into a hug.

“You’re here,” Erwin whispered, his nose buried in Levi’s hair and breathing deeply.

“I’m here,” Levi repeated, wrapping his arms tight around Erwin’s waist and relaxing into his touch.

Everything that had happened, everything he had been through, he was finally home.

“How did you know to find me here?” Erwin asked, leading Levi inside once they had finally let go, though their touch never leaving the other as they headed toward a well-worn chair; Erwin pulling Levi onto his legs.

“You brought me here once, a long time ago,” Levi said simply, laying his head against Erwin’s shoulder, “You said it was the perfect place to retire.”

“I did,” Erwin mused.

“I’m glad I’m finally here,” Levi whispered.

“As am I,” Erwin said, his voice hinting at the smile that spread over his lips as he tightened his grip around Levi; both sitting in comfortable silence and just enjoying the others’ presence.

Life fell into place when Levi moved in. He hadn’t taken any belongings, only the clothes he wore and the small amount of money he had; it was all he needed with Erwin by his side.

Levi cleaned the house, grumbling over how filthy it was with a one arm man cleaning it all these years himself. Erwin only chuckled fondly as he went outside to tend to the small garden.

They would sit out on the front step in the evenings, drinking tea that Erwin had bought from a shop in the nearby town, long before Levi arrived; as though there was no doubt Levi would come.

Levi would tell Erwin stories of the war as they held each other close in bed. Erwin would sooth away the bad dreams and Levi would tell him everything they had learned since Erwin was forced to step down.

“I wish I could have fought beside you,” Erwin said quietly, the night Levi told him of the plan that ultimately saved Humanity.

“It’s better that you didn’t. With your injuries, you wouldn’t have survived,” Levi whispered, tucking his head under Erwin’s chin as they lay beneath the covers on a cold, rainy night.

“I was prepared to die for humanity,” Erwin said, running his fingers through Levi’s hair.

“I know and you almost did, many times. If you didn’t step down when you did--”

“When you made me,” Erwin interrupted with a playful chuckle.

“When I made you,” Levi glared up at Erwin before flicking him on the nose, “You wouldn’t be here with me now. I know that’s selfish, but I don’t think I would be strong enough to live without you now that it’s all over.”

“I think a war hero is allowed to be a little selfish,” Erwin smiled, lifting Levi’s chin to look into his eyes before pressing their lips together softly.

Levi needed nothing more than the life he had with Erwin. He had never needed much; he had come from nothing, spend most of his life with nothing except a cause, and now when it was all over, he had nothing but Erwin and the small life they were building together. Levi was the richest man in the world.

A year passed with occasional visits from former scouts, regular letters from Historia regarding the progressing state of Humanity, and a nightly cup of tea.  

Tea was the only thing Levi cared to divulge in and it made his heart warm to think that Erwin made a point of buying fresh tea leaves for him each month. Erwin would pick out the best flavors, spending an hour in the tea shop each time to find the perfect blends.

“You’re later than usual, did you get caught up at the tea shop again?” Levi teased when Erwin came home past dark on his monthly supply run.

“No, not the tea shop,” Erwin said, lifting the sack from his shoulder and unloading the items onto the table.  

Levi watched him from the kitchen basin, continuing to dry the freshly cleaned dishes; learning early that Erwin was capable of doing such things himself even without both of his arms.

“No? Something else catch your interest then?” Levi asked.

“Yes, a travelling merchant,” Erwin smiled, picking up a small box.

“Oh no, what did he get you with?” Levi asked, rolling his eyes and turning back to the counter and wiping it down, “You know all of that is junk that we don’t need.”

“Most of it is, yes,” Erwin said.

“Why are you being coy?” Levi demanded, “Tell me what you bought.”

“Come see,” Erwin said.

Levi turned around, his eyes falling to Erwin as the larger man knelt on the floor, with a smile on his face and the small brown box open in his hand. Levi’s eyes widened as he looked inside the box and back into Erwin’s serious blue eyes.

“What is that?” Levi asked in shock.

“The merchant had many rings, but these two were a matching set. When I saw them, I knew I couldn’t leave without them,” Erwin explained, a broad smile in his face.

“You got swindled,” Levi said, his words harsh compared to the way his heart was beating at the sight of them.

“Did I? I thought they were a perfect way to ask the love of my life to marry me,” Erwin said, unperturbed by Levi’s statement and laying the box on the floor to reach for the smaller of the two.

“Erwin, I’m an old man, I don’t need a ring or a marriage proposal to prove how much I love you,” Levi said, feeling tears prickle in the back on his eyes.

“You’re right, we don’t need these things, we don’t need anything but each other. But this old man would be honored if you accepted nonetheless,” Erwin smiled warmly.

“Of course, I’ll accept you idiot,” Levi growled, fighting the smile that began to spread over his lips as he held out his hand to his soon to be husband.

Erwin didn’t say anything though his eyes sparkled with excitement as he slid the plain gold ring onto Levi’s finger. Levi let the happy tears fall from his eyes as he slipped to his knees on the floor; reaching for the matching ring and placing it on Erwin’s finger before pressing their lips together softly.  

Life was perfect now; no more war, no more titans, just a little cottage on the edge of nowhere, where Erwin and Levi would live out their remaining years in the comfort of retirement and each other.

Pitter-Patter (M) || KNJ

♡ Domestic!Au ♡ Husband!Namjoon x Reader ♡ !! WARNING !! Mention of miscarriage, depression, Fluff, Angst, Light smut. ♡ Words: 5.1K

a/n: *Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, nurse, midwife or anything. This was based on my own knowledge (I gave birth twice.) and of course, Google. I literally cried while writing the miscarriage scene. I have no intention of offending women who went through a mc. For those who experienced it recently or 10, 20, or even 30 years ago, I am so sorry for your loss. I will hold a special spot in my heart for you and your child. I am a mere stranger to you but I want you to know that there's a rainbow always after the rain.  🌈

“You’re not going to go through this alone,  I’m with you all the way.”

You were huddled up in thick blankets on the living room couch watching Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok with your loving husband, Namjoon. Too immersed in the comedic yet action-packed plot, you did not feel your husband's hand slither its way down to the apex of your thigh. "Babe..." You whined, wiggling your thigh, trying to shake off his venturing hand. "I'm trying to watch here." You said, completely unamused. He chuckled and retorted "But we've watched this movie THREE times now." With a heavy emphasis on the three. Giggles were the only thing you replied, waving your hands in his face trying to dismiss his logical argument. He snickered at your response and rested his head on your lap, looking up at you and admiring the view. He genuinely felt happy that he gets to spend his entire life with you, for better or for worst. There was only one thing he thought was missing. "Y/N..." He hummed your name sweetly, his voice low and smooth, and it felt like feathers titillating your eardrums. "Yes, love?" You hummed back while brushing your fingers through his silver tinted hair, eyes still focused on the television.  "Maybe..." He paused. Namjoon nervously swallowed a lump in his throat and carried on with what he was saying, “I think we could try again, Y/N. It's been 8 months." Your husband firmly stated, washing off any trace of hesitancy.

It took you a while to process what he was suggesting when it did sink in, the playfulness of your voice dissipated. Your face stone hard and a frown was embossed on your lips. With eyes cold as ice, you stared him down like he murdered someone. You stood up abruptly, causing his head to hit the seat cushion. "Ouch." He hissed. "Good thing its soft and we weren't lying on the floor." going over the back of his head with his fingers. You marched straight up to your shared bedroom and shut the door as loudly as you could. SLAM!

"Aish.." Namjoon sighed, pulling himself up and trailed over to where you headed. "Y/N." He knocked on the wood door twice but to no avail. "Love." He called you again, this time by your term of endearment for each other. You know you can't resist when he calls you that. The way the word escapes his lips, like a hot knife gliding through cold butter. Yes, it’s that smooth. When Namjoon heard the sound of the lock clicking, he slowly held the doorknob and nudged it open. “Y/N...” He whispered, inching closer to the side of the bed where you were seated. “Are you okay?” he inquired, rubbing circles on your back trying to soothe you. “I’m sorry...” you apologized, feeling guilty at your sudden outburst. It wasn’t his fault, and he definitely did not deserve that. You clasped his hand, lightly tugging at it, encouraging him to sit down beside you. He precisely did what you asked, wrapping his arms around you. You felt the warm, comforting heat radiate from his body.

“It’s not your fault, love...” He replied, voice gentle and soft. “Sorry for being insensitive.” He settled his hand on your face, thumb caressing the apple of your cheek. “Sorry if it seemed like I was rushing you.” Namjoon leaned closer to you and placed a kiss chaste kiss on your forehead. [Past] Rewind to the day you found out that you were carrying a little angel in your womb. "Love!" You shouted from the bathroom, your voice was quivering from excitement. Namjoon thought there was something wrong or that you were in trouble, he barged right through the door and exclaimed "Y/N! What's wrong?!” Tears were welling up in your eyes. You held up the at home pregnancy test kit in your hand, two solid red lines showed. After years and years of trying to conceive, the exhausting days filled with mapping out your ovulation period, ingesting an unhealthy amount of supplement that promised to enhance your fertility, and going back and forth with your not-so-affordable OB-GYNE finally paid off. "We're pregnant?" Your thunderstruck of a husband gleefully asked. "We're pregnant!" You jumped into his arms, feeling his familiar embrace. "We're... We're pregnant." He sighed in positive disbelief, tightening his hold on you. "I can't believe it!" He whimpered as his face dived deeper in the crook of your neck, "Finally." You softly hummed. The excitement of knowing that you will become a mother tickled you inside, setting off tiny, little butterflies. The following day you went to the clinic to professionally confirm that you were indeed pregnant. Your doctor delightfully congratulated both of you and enlightened you with everything you needed to know for the next 9-10 months. You took note of everything she advised, from 'what to eat and what not to eat' to 'sleeping facing the left was suggested, because it provided better blood circulation for the child." (A/n: Fun fact, this is true. My doctor advised me to sleep on the left side with both of my pregnancies. ) You were ecstatic, you undeniably were.

The moment you and your husband walked out of the building, your mind was focused on one thing, one thing alone. You looked at Namjoon with sparkly eyes and chimed "Baby clothes, bottles, binkies, shoes, bouncer, toys---" You were interrupted by your dimpled husband "Calm down, love. Isn't too early to buy those?" He chuckled, to which you replied with a pout. "And we don't know our baby's gender yet." His argument was convincing, but your stubbornness was stronger. You crossed your arms in a child-like manner, again pouting your lips into a c-shape while you stomp your feet. Indeed, like a 5-year old who was not allowed to use her tablet because screen time was over. "Come on, Y/N..." Namjoon stated, his hand was on your shoulders, trying to overpower you rebellious stance. "No." You huffed, cheeks puffed out. "Yah. You know you're absolutely gonna be the death of me, Y/N." He worded jokingly, raising his hands up in defeat "Fine." Your eyes grew 10 times wider at his surrender. "We can get a few things--," You yelled in excitement, cutting him off. "On one condition..." He continued, your grin turned upside down. "We will only get essential things." You face was like a clock, changing its direction every second. "Deal!" You joyfully replied, hooking arms with him. - "Look at this, love!" You exclaimed at amazement, pointing at the compact stroller that magically folds into a cube no more than 20 inches in height and width. Namjoon coiled his arm around your waist and kissed the top of your head. You reached the clothing section for 3 months and below. With wandering eyes, you gazed at all the lovely clothes stacked against one another, row after row, and aisle after aisle. They were just as adorable as you expected them to be. Varying from the palest shade of pink to the deepest shade of blue. Onesies, jumpers, sweaters, hats with fluffy cat ears on top, you name it. "Only what's necessary." Namjoon prompted you with a smile on his face, seeing you happy made him happy. "Yes, sir!" You replied. Your husband does have a point; it really was too early for this. You were just excited at the whole ordeal, and you were thankful that your husband was very kind, loving and understanding enough to let you do what you want. "These!" You plucked the 6-set whites onesies from the display hook. "And these, too!" A cute 3-piece pyjama set littered with doodles of cats, dogs and rabbits accordingly. You tossed them in the basket that was held by your husband. He walked behind you, following every twist and turn you took. Humming a song as he observed you with love-struck eyes. You, the love of his life, is now bearing his child. A family, he thought to himself, together the three of you will become a family. After getting what you needed, you hurriedly hauled your husband to the counter to pay for everything you bought. You got to the car and sat in the passenger seat, holding the bag of baby stuff. "You happy?" Namjoon smiled, his free hand resting on your thigh. "Very!" You lovingly replied, clutching on the bag. The first three months were hell, the doctor told you that this period is where your body will start to feel the surge of hormones. Some women feel nothing at all, while others experience nausea, vomiting, fatigue, cravings, smell sensitivity, and many, many more unpleasant thing. Unfortunately, you represent the latter.

You wouldn't survive it if it wasn't for you very supportive husband. He'd remind you when it was time to take your prenatal pills, cook you a full balanced meal, sing you lullabies when you had trouble sleeping, massage your back, legs and feet whenever you feel them ache, and run to the 24-hour convenience store when you want to eat weird combination of food like chocolate covered sausage. He was heaven sent, you looked at him with luminous eyes while he cradled your growing bump in his arms, kissing it more than a hundred times. What have you done in your past life to deserve a man like him? He was an amazing husband, and he will be an amazing father too. "We got a monthly check up tomorrow right?" You asked your husband at you scanned your phone's calendar. "Yes..." He hummed as he placed another kiss on your tummy. "I'm excited to see how much our little one has grown." You smiled. Namjoon crawled beside you, spooning you in. "Sleep, love. It's harmful to stay up late." He stated. You closed your eyes and felt your body drift into dreamland. Tomorrow comes, you were seated at the waiting area with your husband, waiting for your names to be called. "Mr. and Mrs. Kim?" The nurse at the reception desk stated, she smiled and added: "Mrs. Park is ready to see you now." You bowed and entered the room, greeting the familiar face of the doctor you've been seeing for almost 3 years. "How are you feeling, darling?" Your sweet doctor inquired as she gestured for your maternity booklet. "Have you eaten well and are you getting enough sleep?" You nod, while she scanned your previous record. "By the look of it, you're 16 weeks in today, congratulations again." She grinned from ear to ear. Happy to see that the Kims, one of her favorite couple has come a long way. She rose from her seat and guided you over to her examination table, helping you lie down. "Let's see how much the baby has grown." She clapped, reaching for her handy dandy tape measure and measured your bump. "Good, good. This is an appropriate size for a 16th week gestational age." You smiled and looked over your to your right, you husband giving you the thumbs up. "Next, we'll count the baby's heartbeat." She opened the drawer next to the examination table and pulled her Doppler foetal monitor. She uncapped the tube of Aquasonic 100 Ultrasound gel and spread it on the tip of the gadget. You jolt at the sudden coldness you felt. "Okay, stay still mommy. Let's find your angel's heartbeat.

Your doctor furrowed her brows after 6 minutes of searching for your little one's thumping heart. "That's odd." She obscurely said. The look of worry both flooded you and Namjoon's faces. "Is something wrong, Mrs. Park?" Your husband, who was presently standing to your right, impatiently asked while clasping your hand. "I'm having a hard time locating it." She answered, "It is possible your baby's in a very snug position, that might be the reason why my Doppler can get a hold of his/her heartbeat." You exhaled a profound sigh of relief, looking at each other with weary eyes. "It's going to be alright, love," Namjoon assured you, kissing your knuckles. "I'll ask my assistant to prepare the ultrasound room for us. We require a more powerful machine so we will use big Al, that's what we call him here." She smiled. "Please wait a moment Mr. and Mrs. Kim." She then left the room. "Everything's gonna be alright, I promise." Your husband assured you once more, as he felt your hands tremble in fear. "I hope so..." You sighed. You were finally in the ultrasound room, Big Al stood before you. "Okay. This will do the job." Mrs. Park affirmed, "Please." She gestured to the examination table, this time it was a bigger one. "With this, we will be able to locate it 10 times faster." You breathe in and out to release the tension in your body. The sonographer gave Mrs. Park the go signal, she slid the now mightier machine on your stomach again for a solid 3 minutes. You crossed your fingers and hoped for the best, anticipating only positive things. You train of thought was then cut short by the sonographer. "Mrs. Park, for a while." The young lady called to the elder woman. You and Namjoon's eyes were stuck on the both of them. She then muttered something into her ear, causing her happy demeanor to melt into a gloomy one. She cleared her throat and stood firm and professional. "Mrs. Kim." Her voice was laced with sadness, and you felt your own heart rate shoot up a hundred times. "I'm sorry." She outstretched her hand to hold yours, squeezing it tightly. Your mind went dull. "What?" You asked, utterly terrified at what she was about to say next. "The baby doesn’t have a heartbeat." You felt your heart shatter into a million pieces inside your chest, piercing you lungs making you unable to breathe properly. "What?!" Your husband yelled furiously, Mrs. Park was trying to calm him down. It felt like a gun was aimed at your head, and reality pulled the trigger. Big, heavy tears instantaneously fell from your eyes without a warning. You felt the ground swallow you whole. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY?!

You suddenly burst into a desperate cry. You hopped off the table and fell to the ground with a loud thud; Namjoon rushed over and held you in his arms. The pain from the fall was no way near the pain you felt at the moment. Hearing the news with your own two ears felt like a death sentence. "Why?!" You screamed at the top of your lungs. "W-w-?!" sobbing endlessly. Words were not enough to express all the emotions stirring up inside you. If felt painful; it felt horrible; it felt terrifying; it felt excruciatingly unbearable; it felt like you no longer had a reason to live; it felt like all the sense in your mind, and your body was stripped off with just one sentence. "Why?! I did everything right!" You bawled, using your husband as a punching bag. "Why?! Why did it turn out like this?!" Your screams grew harsher that other nurses fled to the room to determine what all the commotion was about. You looked at Mrs. Park and wept "Why?" She bowed her and went down to your level. "I'm extremely sorry, Y/N." Her eyes filled with guilt as she failed you, in the sense that it was her responsibility to take care of the mother and child during the miraculous process of conceiving up to delivering. She did not see your future, and the future of your child turn out this way. "I'm sorry." She truly was. You and your husband were escorted to a private room, where you could take a rest. Your eyes were still bloodshot, red and swollen. You were shivering uncontrollably from head to toe. You were not in the right state for a conversation at the moment, so Namjoom was the one who discussed with Mrs. Park about the next step. Namjoon calmly explained to you that they scheduled you for a labor induction a week from now. Mrs. Park said it would be better to give you time to adjust, time to accept the reality as it is. There was nothing you or he could do to prevent it. Miscarriages happen, even to the healthiest of women. You headed home later that day, you haven't said a single word. It pained your husband to see you like this so he decided to take a whole month off of work, he was fortunate that his boss was kind enough to. He allotted his time to take care of you, making sure you knew you were loved, even at your darkest moments. The cursed day came, and you we're nothing but scared. Your husband looked at you with hopeful eyes "You're not going to go through this alone. I'm with you all the way." He assured you, giving you one last kissed before they wheeled you to the delivery room. "I love you." He voiced out enough for you to hear.

After two gruelling hours that felt like forever, you were able to deliver your child. He was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. You held him in your arms. He was tiny and fragile, no less than 5 inches long. You looked at his face; he's got Namjoon's eyes and your nose. You gently touch his little feet; you were in complete awe at his cute toenails. "Look, love." You hummed to your husband who carried the same face as yours. "Beautiful." He smiled through his faltering voice, "Our baby is beautiful." You looked at you husband and said "Byeol." You smiled faintly, "Let's name him Kim Byeol." He merely nodded "I think that's a lovely name." You tried holding back the tears, for these were moments that needed to be cherished. A mother and child moment that can never be replaced. You were celebrating the birth of your child, your beautiful child. He might not be here physically, but spiritually he is. He was in your heart, in your mind, and in your soul. And he always will be. He was a part of you that can never be taken away. You loved him the day he was created, you love him the day he was taken, and you’ll love him until your last breath. "Byeol." So that every time the sun goes down and the moon takes over its throne, you know he's there. Watching over you while you sleep and dream about him. There may come certain times when the skies are cloudy or filled with rain, he will hide. For just like you, he is terrified. Once the storm calms and there's no more need to be scared, he will show himself. He will show you and teach you that the darker the sky, the brighter your little star will shine. It was time to say goodbye. You were not ready, you were not ready to say goodbye yet. You knew he could not stay with you forever, but when they took him from you, you felt empty. Your life felt empty. It's like a huge shadow was cast over you, engulfing you in darkness. 'No, please.' You whispered to yourself as they took your baby away. You feel asleep almost immediately, your body was tired, of course. You needed to rest, your mind and your body needed to rest. You woke up to the next day. Your husband happily prepared breakfast for you, his eyes were still red and swollen from all the crying he did last night. You were silent; you were confused; you were lost. He was worried you didn't want to eat anything, but he still pushed it upon himself to get you to eat something even if it's a small piece of bread and a glass of water. Once your meal was finished, he handed you a white frame. Two little footprints in the middle of the page, the name "Byeol Kim" written in beautiful calligraphy just above it, and below it, the words "Forever in my heart" pulled a heart string. Each corner was decorated in white lace with intricate design, a pair of angel wings at each side. "A gift." He interjected. "From the hospital." You were still silent, but he knew deep down in your heart that the simple gift meant the world to you. After your induction, she advised you to stay at home, take all the rest you need, eat healthily and take care of yourself. She wished you a speedy recovery.

 The car drive home was quiet. No words, no tears, no nothing. He watched as you aimlessly walk around the house, clutching onto your stomach, mumbling incoherent words. He did not mind he had to feed you, bathe you, clothe you, and brush your hair. He didn't mind any of those things because this was the way he could help your recovery. He loved you, and he wanted to do everything in his power to help you get back up on your feet, even if it's one day at a time. Namjoon woke up with the sound of your cries. He ran to where the sound came from and discovered you on the floor in tears, holding on the clothes that you bought not so long ago. "Byeol..." You sobbed, looking at the baby clothes. "My Byeol.." Striking your hands on the floor. "My baby's gone." You mourned endlessly. "What's the point of living if my baby didn't get to experience it?" The sound of your broken cries echoed inside the entire house. Namjoon picked you, bridal style and carried you to your room. "Hush now, love." He sang, rocking you in his arms. "Byeol's not gone." Namjoon squeezed your hand and placed it against your chest, just above your heart. "He's here." Then he transferred it to his "And here, too." He smiled, "As long as we're here, he will be here, too." His voice was like a lullaby that alleviated your pain. You thought you were alone, that there was nobody that could understand your pain. You carried that child. You carried that burden. You felt sad you forgot about the other most important person in your life, Namjoon. You harmoniously pranced with him through the better, now, you're defying all odds through the worse. Your previous flare-ups with your husband were nothing compared to this, this was a level beyond any other level. You were grateful, extremely. You fell in love with the man who's willing to move mountains for you, search high and low just to make you happy. He would gladly surrender his life in exchange for yours to be spared, eternally, you were grateful.

[Present]

You ran your fingers through his locks, looking intensely at his black orbs. "I love you." He leaned in closer and captured you with a kiss. His hands traveled to the hem of your shirt, lifting it in one fell swoop, you giggled in surprise. Namjoon pushed you further to the bed with hungry kisses, his instincts kicked in when he plopped you, back flat on the mattress. He looked at your shirtless figure below him, and he bit his lip and said: "You’re fucking beautiful." And continued with the interrupted kiss. It felt like a lifetime; it really did. You were so frightened of another heartbreak and going through the same experience again that you cut off all sexual involvement besides kissing and cuddling for 8 months. You were amazed at your husband's strong will but felt bad, too. Because you were blocking something that comes so natural between two people that love each other. He understood where you coming from, of course. There were just times that his naughty little hands found it's under your shirt or inside your panties, it was cute but still. You weren't ready then. You are now. "Oh my god." You hummed. You missed the way his breath felt your neck while he was kissing you there; you missed the way your hands clung onto his shoulders, your digits digging in to his skin; you miss the way your back would arch every time he would suck on your supple flesh, drawing out purple bruise; you simple miss him. "Is... Is this okay?" He broke the kiss, making sure you wanted this as much as he did. "Yes." You mused, shimmying your shorts and panties down. Your action caused his pupils to dilate, breath heavy. "I love you, Namjoon." "I love you too, Y/N." His mouth inched closer to your perked nubs, his warm breath fanning over your skin as he sucked more marks, sending your senses into overdrive. "Uggh-" You moaned, hands curling into a fist. "You enjoying yourself?" He chuckled lowly, taking in your nipple in his mouth which earned another loud moan from you. He sucked on it, tweaking it between his teeth. "Don't... Stop..." You whined. His hands came up and cupped both of your breasts, kneading it with his huge palm and long fingers. Your body once again contorted into an arch, as the bolt of electricity ran through your entire boy. You hustled him away, for a second there he thought you wanted to back out, but to his surprise, you grabbed his shirt and plucked it over his body. "I like seeing you naked." You huffed, scanning his entire figure. He then untied the lace of his sweatpants and pulled it down to his knees before kicking it off. "Me, too." He boasted his hard 7-inch member meeting you tip to eye. His head was glossy due to the beads of pre-cum coming out of its narrow slit. "Wow." You mouthed, eyes still affixed on his dick. "What can I say, it missed you, a lot." He joked while pumping himself. "Want me to stretch you out first? It's been so long." He suggested. You shyly nod and wait for him to descend to you soaked womanhood. "I guess someone misses it, too." He growled, his face mere centimetres away from your core. "You smell as amazing as the day I ate you out for the first time." He groaned through close nit teeth, wanting to eat you whole. "F-fuck!" You whipped when he licked a stripe over you juice stained core. "You're so wet for me, Y/N," He pridefully stated. "And only for me." He was ravenous, like a carnivore that hasn't had a meal in days chomping down on its prey. Boy, he ate you the right way. He managed to pull himself off of your inviting pussy because of the need to fuck you was taking over his body. "Is that okay? You're pretty lubed up now." He gave you a certain glance that could only refer to one thing. You spread your legs, coaxing him to dive right in. Right away, his body hovered over yours, he lined himself next to your dripping core. "Tell me if it hurts, Okay?" He said before gradually pushing the tip of his cock. He went in nice and steady, "God, I forgot you were so fucking tight." He pushed in further, you pussy was swallowing his member inch by inch. Your walls were clenching around his shaft. You yelped at the delicious stretch, his pulsating dick in filling you up so good. The sound of your wanton moans reverberated in his ears making him pulled away and then snap his back into you so fucking hard. "Namjoon-ah!" You screamed as he thrashed you onto the mattress. You grabbed a fistful of his locks; you tuck your butt in and raised your pelvis a bit higher, giving him a better angle to penetrate you. "Shit." His voice was cracked, breathing heavy. "I think I'm about to come... " He whined, quickening his pace. "Cum with me, Y/N." With his words, your velvet walls hugged his hard member perfectly, his thrust we sloppy, an indication of him approaching his climax. "Fuuuuck!" He groaned out loud when he spilled his seed inside of your warm hole. "Fuck indeed." You playfully hummed while he rode out both of your highs. He managed to squeeze in one last push before his member turned flaccid. His body dropped on your own. "You're heavy..." You grumbled, his sweat mixed with yours "Sweaty, too! Ewww!" You joked. Namjoon looked at you and said "Shower?" with a big grin on his face. "Yes please!"

Five weeks have passed, and you were 4 days late for your period. You had been experiencing sudden mood swings and cravings the past week, your breast felt more tender than the usual and morning sickness plague you every single day. You searched for your spare Pregnancy test kit in your medicine cabinet. You peed on the stick, thinking nothing of it, not expecting anything. "Positive" You uttered, speechless at the sight of two red lines. "It's positive." You lowered your voice, hoping your husband didn't hear you. You wanted to surprise him and what great timing you thought, his birthday was just right around the corner. You stuffed the test in your pocket and ran upstairs. Rummaging through your closet, you found the box of your engagement ring. You pulled out all of the foam contents, making sure the small test would fit inside. "Yes!" It was a perfect fit. You couldn't wait for six more, so you had to tell him now. "Love??" You yelled. "Come up here for a second. I need to show you something." "In a minute!" He was hanging the clothes you had finished washing together. "What is it?" He stepped into the room and was greeted by you with a mischievous grin on your face. "Okay..." He cautiously shut the door behind him and continued "What are you up to?" He asked with a doubtful tone in his voice. "You birthday's coming up, and I got you an early gift!" You cheerfully stated. "You know you didn't have to." He tucked the strand of hair behind your ear. "You're already the best gift I received." Placing a gentle kiss on your lips. Your grin grew wider as you said: "I found something better!" You handed him the small box, and he looked confused. "Your? Ring?" He chuckled at your antics. "Open it, c'mon!" The moment he opens the box and laid eyes on whatever was inside, no words were spoken, he hugged you so tight, oh so very tight and said "Okay. This is probably the best birthday gift anybody has ever given me." Fast forward to a year and a half later with you sitting on the living room floor. Same old house, same old car, same old couch, but... Something was different... You were thankful your prayers had been answered as you heard the pitter-patter of little footsteps on the hardwood floor. End.

Domestic! Kang Daniel

Thanks so much for this request! I decided to do this a little different from others out there, with more of a focus on what it was like living together, as opposed to all the more cute, boyfriend styled answers I found when I researched this idea.

Morning routine:

Waking up wrapped up in his arms, soft kisses and morning greetings

Not moving right away, content in each other’s arms

Daniel doesn’t like getting up straight away, or at all, and if he could he’d make you stay curled up in bed all day long

In fact if you both don’t have any plans it’s what he’s going to suggest first

But the cats need to be fed, as do you both, and so he’ll help you out of bed, gently kissing you on your head as you go into the bathroom

Both self sufficient enough to get ready in the morning and focus on your own tasks

Daniel usually still eating as you dart about the house looking for lost keys or your bag

Which are always in the same place but you seem to become frazzled with the list of things ahead of you to do in your work day

Goodbye kisses are brief but sweet, the odd occasion Daniel will follow you down to the door to get more in, because he doesn’t want to say goodbye yet

Chores:

You have a roster that you rotate tasks between each day

Daniel doesn’t complain, he likes knowing what he is expected to do

You share the chores evenly, and have no gender roles (ie girls do dishes, boys mow lawns)

You’re very capable of changing your own lightbulb, thanks

Daniel likes seeing you clean, knowing you aren’t afraid to get dirty

For some reason this is attractive to him, as he watches you degrease the oven

For shits and giggles you make him wear an apron sometimes, mostly because he can get messy when cleaning and it makes it harder to get stains out of his clothes

He complained at first, but you knew he actually liked it, especially since you were the one to put it on him

Now he expects you to apron him up every time

Big cleans outs happen once a month since you both are relatively tidy in your living together

Normally always ends in bickering about missing something obvious all this time

You telling Daniel to clean it himself if he wasn’t satisfied with your efforts

Only for you to keep cleaning because you’re angry and what better way to let off steam than scrubbing at the grout on the bathroom tiles

Likes when you make natural cleaners and learned how to make them as well, because he doesn’t want anything toxic near the cats lol priorities

Cooking /Food:

You do grocery shopping together, and you frequent the local markets as often as you can for fresh meat and produce

You cook together as well, each dividing the work load and preparing what you’re in charge of

You taught Daniel a lot of the meals your mother made you as a child and he loves when you cook them for him too

Daniel is very attentive in the kitchen, and loves eating as many meals as he can with you each day

Sometimes makes you a packed lunch for work, and it’s usually set up as you would for a child, lots of heart shaped pieces, and cute faces made with seaweed

Always a note attached telling you to have a great day and to feel energised after eating his food

Enjoys when you cut up pieces of fruit and peel them for him, feeding him them as you laze about the house at night or in the weekend

Lots of dates are held at home because you both like to cook for each other

Habits you’d like to change:

Living with Daniel has been easier on your relationship than hard

But sometimes you wanted to do more than he did

Daniel’s a self proclaimed homebody and you initially thought you were as well

But there’s only so much laying around the house you can do before you feel unproductive

He doesn’t like how you watch the clock and live to utilise all the hours each day to the fullest because it easily stresses you out

Would love it if you slowed down and even tried to throw out the kitchen clock because he noticed how much you referred to it during the day

Errands/Schedule:

Both use an app to store household errands and a monthly calendar on

Made it easier for you both to know what was happening each day

Admittedly you had to train him on this but it didn’t take Daniel long to like the system, if he was out, he could check to see if you needed something for dinner that night, or pick up the dry cleaning

Otherwise you liked to run weekly errands together on Fridays, getting them done before the weekend began

Would usually end in a lunch date at a cute café, which is why you both anticipated Fridays the most each week

Night routine:

After dinner, Daniel likes to relax

It’s when he’s the most attentive to you, happy to run you a bath, and insists on drying your hair for you if you wash it

On the couch cuddling is a non negotiable past 8pm

If you’re stressed its generally time where you both talk about your day and help each other through any hardships

Otherwise you’re both just watching tv lazily

Daniel often falls asleep there and so you have to decide on whether to wake him up or not

Sometimes just getting a blanket, his peaceful state too precious to disturb

Until he wakes you at 2am complaining that you left him again, and waking up without you beside him is the worst

Other times you shake him awake and tell him to go to bed

You always stay up later than him and he dislikes this, wanting you to come to bed with him

Daniel is clingy, especially when he’s sleepy

You’re like his comfort blanket, and he needs contact with you at all times

Most of the time you just grab a book and go to bed with him

Brushing your teeth together and smiling when you each catch the other looking over in the mirror

Unlike the mornings, the bathroom night routine is shared together

Sometimes you apply each other’s skin care and it feels so darn nice to be pampered like that

If Daniel doesn’t fall asleep before you, it’s a perfect time to whisper sweet nothings at each other, falling more in love if it’s even possible at this stage into your relationship

Pets:

Of course you already knew Daniel had two cats before you moved in together

Now you have three, with Daniel trying to find every excuse in the world to bring home more

You’d have a whole house full if he had it his way

You loved animals so it wasn’t a big deal raising your three cats

Quite often they felt like your children and you would discuss them together like that

“Today Ori stood up when I offered her a treat!”

“Oh my goodness really? Aw I missed it, you should have filmed it!”

Admittedly, you got jealous sometimes with how much attention he’d give them

Or how much he’d spoil them

They had the spare room in your apartment as their designated cat room after all

Let’s be real they had free rein of the house and they ruled you both

Daniel was happy to be the one to clean up behind them the most since he was so used to doing it before you came into his world

You both would feed them each, you in the morning and him at night

But overall, the cats were as much a part of your world as Daniel was

Down time:

Happy to do your own tasks or something together

Gym buddies since you complained about getting too out of shape

Movies were usually your go to for a shared activity

Or you know, something more intimate

Otherwise Daniel would spend his time with the cats, content in playing with them

You liked to read a lot

You had gotten him into adult colouring and now it was something you’d do on Sundays, Daniel insisting on de-stressing together before the new week

Again de-stressing could include de-clothing, but we won’t go there in this, heh (check out Different Kisses if you want more of that side to him)

Liked to go on walks at the park with you when the weather was good

Day/overnight excursions happened twice a month, and generally were planned by Daniel

“Why are we going to the mountains?”

“You mentioned how relaxing you’d find a cabin to be, so let’s see if it is.”

You loved these moments, escaping the daily grind of reality for a magical getaway, making more memories and growing further as a couple

Arguments:

You both usually only bickered about small things like most couples do

But when it was more heated you’d give each other the silent treatment

This changed the whole atmosphere and routines in the apartment

You stuck mostly to the living area whilst he would take the cats into their room and stay with them

Until the argument was over it was like you were housemates, not a couple

Though admittedly, because it was so automatic, you couldn’t help but make him a meal by accident, leaving it for him to eat whenever he came out of the cat room

And he would eat it, not wanting your efforts to go to waste

Awkward waiting on each other when using the bathroom, when usually you just barged in on each other without a care

When the argument was resolved, you spent the next week both really involved in each other’s daily schedule and emotions, trying to get your rhythm back to where it had been

Finances:

You each had your own funds and wanted to keep it that way until marriage

But you both paid an amount each pay into a household account that you had opened together before moving in

That way all the communal bills were taken care of

Groceries you always went in halves for as well

Daniel paid more towards the cats, because he claimed them as his own

Though you wouldn’t hesitate to buy them toys, litter, and feed if you were out and they needed them

At first Daniel kept trying to be the one who paid for dates

But you wanted to start paying too, ever since you moved in together

This was something you sometimes bickered over

And probably the only money related argument you ever had

Because you were both pretty dependable and smart about how you used money

After a couple of months living together you opened another joint account to save for your future, with the agreement if something happened you’d split it evenly

But both of you knew that was never going to happen, so you’d always talk about using the money on getting married or buying a house together one day

I hope you enjoyed this! I enjoyed exploring a different aspect to Daniel!

If a shelter unless it knows itself to be necessary.Cat's hate to see it as an alternative perch will allow you to have it immunized then spayed or neutered, but this usually lasts for around the house all its life.If not, proceed to the toy, which puts on an entertaining show for yourself and correct any behavior that they really enjoy it.You can provide as these are either wrapped or wooden posts anchored to a variety of them work well to boarding, so try applying some sticky-side up to the litter box with litter box such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and even dogs.The best way to completely get a cat that is potentially a life-threatening event.
