hold my hand, i'll never let go of it
-- dahyun / tzuyu. 703, fluff. MEN DNI.
like tzuyu to dahyun, and dahyun to tzuyu.
“where are we going?” dahyun asks.
tzuyu grins. she interlocks their fingers, and dahyun falls into step beside her.
dahyun’s hands are soft and gentle, and they fit with tzuyu’s perfectly in a way that makes her never want to let go.
“you’ll see.”
their hands don’t sway, because dahyun naturally presses herself close to tzuyu, until her head is on her shoulder, and there is infinitesimal space between them. they lean against one another – tzuyu’s cheek on dahyun, dahyun’s cheek on her.
“close your eyes, hyunnie.”
she can’t see, but she trusts that dahyun’s listening.
dahyun definitely peeks, because she feels soft chuckles reverberating when they reach the spot, and it spreads all throughout tzuyu’s being.
“a picnic?” dahyun giggles.
tzuyu doesn’t even care that dahyun’s peeked, she’s too excited herself. “birthday picnic.”
dahyun giggles again, all giddy and silly and uncontrollable. her eyes crinkle into crescents, smile wide and pretty, teeth showing. tzuyu loves nothing more.
dahyun unwinds herself from tzuyu’s arm, skipping over as tzuyu trails behind. the white and blue mat, the picnic basket bought exclusively for the occasion, the daisies and forget-me-nots scattered around, hand picked from tzuyu’s garden.
“you didn’t have to do this,” dahyun pouts, recognising the wildflowers.
“but i wanted to.” tzuyu smiles, and she moves to join dahyun in the middle of the blanket.
dahyun holds her hand out to help her over the flowers.
she looks ethereal in the evening light, tzuyu realises, a soft glow around the edges that makes everything else fade away in tzuyu’s mind. when their palms meet, dahyun’s fingers envelop hers, safe and certain, and tzuyu thinks she understands why the earth orbits the sun now; why the waves are enthralled by the moon even if they know they'll never touch.
they lay out the spread of food, but tzuyu spends most of her time watching.
dahyun gasps and gapes at anything that looks homemade, and squeals at her favourites. her brows furrow when she’s particularly touched and she takes pictures of everything, all her emotions written on her face because that’s just how she is. tzuyu is completely captivated.
they don’t end up finishing all the food, but the point was never to eat anyways, so tzuyu isn’t fazed. she laces her fingers through dahyun’s carefully, like they’re two shy schoolgirls all over again, smitten by each other but afraid to admit it. they’re far from that now, but being in public makes her cautious.
dahyun doesn’t seem to mind, though.
she moves the picnic basket away from between them and throws her legs over tzuyu’s, finding a place in tzuyu’s lap.
tzuyu encircles an arm around her waist and brings her close, the caution from before waning as she nuzzles into the nape of dahyun’s neck and comfort engulfs her in smells of everything that reminds tzuyu of home. dahyun peppers butterfly kisses on the crown of her head, and tzuyu dissolves into a puddle of pure affection that has her sinking endlessly into dahyun’s embrace. she hums when dahyun strokes her hair, the familiar touch sending a numbing warmth down through to her veins, and relieving itself in a sigh.
“i love you so much,” tzuyu mutters, letting her eyes fall close. “i don’t think i say it enough –
i love… i love your smile, and the way you make me laugh. and how you hold me like this, and try new things with me, and go new places with me,” she takes another deep breath. “and you’re so patient with me, and soft and gentle. and i don’t know if i tell you all of these enough, but i think about you all the time.”
dahyun tightens her hug, and everything quietens in tzuyu’s ears – the sound of the sea smothers, and her thoughts dampen – but she’s always attuned to dahyun’s voice.
“you don’t have to say it out loud. i feel it everyday,” dahyun whispers, lips pressed close to tzuyu’s temple. “and i love you, too. you know that, right?"
this is the centre of her universe, and she follows unceasingly.
i know.
like the earth to the sun, and the waves to the moon.
like tzuyu to dahyun, and dahyun to tzuyu.
happy birthday to dahyun, the only woman ever 🫶
