๐ฒ/๐ง_๐ฒ/๐ฅ/๐ง started a live video.
You lounged on a plush couch in the heart of your stylishly decorated living room. Soft, ambient lights adorned the space, casting a warm glow on tasteful decor that bore witness to your numerous achievements. The room emanated a sense of comfort and sophistication, a reflection of your own laid-back yet refined taste.
Clutching your phone, you felt the familiar anticipation as she initiated an Instagram live session. Excitement filled the air as you looked into the camera, ready to connect with your fans after a hiatus from such spontaneous interactions. The room, a blend of neutral tones and vibrant accents, served as the perfect backdrop for you to share a slice of your life.
The subtle hum of background music added to the ambiance, enhancing the sense of ease that permeated the room.
You leaned back against the plush cushions, your eyes fixed on the phone's camera. "Hello, Iโ€™m gonna wait for people to come before starting.โ€
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง1: HELLOOOO QUEEENB!!!&3)373
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง2: MISS THING!? ARE MY EYES DECEIVING ME OR ARE U LIVE RN!??
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง3: y/n I love you ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง4: hello from Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง5: Omg! Itโ€™s been a while since youโ€™ve been live ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฉต
โ€œIt's been a while, hasn't it? I donโ€™t usually do lives but a lot of you guys have been asking me to, soโ€ฆ here I am.โ€ You giggled.
The room feels cozy, with the soft glow of lights creating a warm ambiance. You can't help but smile as the viewer count rises steadily.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง6: girl you look good ๐Ÿ˜ซ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง7: ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง8: y/n you have no business looking so good like that at home.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง9: are you making new music?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง10: come to japan!!
Questions flood in, ranging from music updates to personal anecdotes. "Ah, someone asked about new music. You know I'm always working on something. I've got a few surprises up my sleeve, so stay tuned for that."
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง11: whatโ€™s your favorite genre?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง12: where is y/bf/n?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง13: talk about your breakup with Jack.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง14: do you still watch Hockey?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง15: GIRL WE NEED YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE ASAP!!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง16: whatโ€™s your songwriting process?
The chat scrolls rapidly, and you pick a question about your music preferences. "Favorite genre at the moment? Honestly, it changes all the time, but lately, I've been vibing with some indie and acoustic stuff.โ€
As more questions pour in, ranging from songwriting inspiration to behind-the-scenes moments, you share glimpses of your creative process. "Songwriting is such a personal journey. It could be a fleeting emotion, a random moment, or even something a fan shares. Inspiration can come from anywhere, really."
โ€œHow fast can you write lyrics?โ€ You read in the comments.
โ€œUhm, it depends. Sometimes I get a wave of ideas just flowing. But there are also times where I get stuck and it takes forever for me to continueโ€ฆ it really does depend. But the fastest song Iโ€™ve written is far, has to be Selfish and Reckless. I write those two back-to-back in about three, four hours.โ€
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง17: I bet itโ€™s easier to write when you have A LOT of things to say.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง18: can you say hello to my cousin, Annie?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง19: pineapples on pizza? yes or no?
As the questions continued pouring in, you found yourself engrossed in the virtual conversation. Little did you know, the front door to your home had swung open, announcing the arrival of your boyfriend, Joe, fresh from hanging out with his friends.
The comments section, ever vigilant, caught the subtle sounds of the door and began buzzing with curiosity.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง20: Did anyone else hear that? Is someone there?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง21: is it y/bf/n? I hope itโ€™s her, I love when they do lives together.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง22: girl are you being robbed?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง23: I donโ€™t think she heard.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง24: SOMEONE JUST ENTERED YOUR HOUSE MISS THING?!!!
Your fans, always quick to pick up on details, speculated about the unexpected noise.
Your eyes met Joe's from his place by the door, and a smile crept across your face. Ignoring the barrage of questions flooding the comments about the mysterious door sound.
As he moved closer to you, you moved the camera away from the two of you as he leaned down and placed a kiss on your lips, โ€œHey, baby.โ€ He mutters against your lips.
โ€œHello.โ€ You whispered, pecking him one more time before moving away, facing the camera back to you as Joe walked towards the sofa, placing his things on it.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง25: GOOD GOD IS IT JOE? AND DID I HEAR KISSING NOISES?!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง26: she was just kissing someone right now ๐Ÿฅฒ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง27: HI JOEEEE๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง28: imagine if she was cheating on Joe like she did with Jack and got caught on live ๐Ÿ˜‚
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง29: OH ITS DEF JOE, DO U SEE HER SMILE ๐Ÿฅน
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง30: Who was that?
"Who was that?" you read from the comments, a mischievous twinkle in your eyes. With a playful grin, you responded, "Santa." Giggles escaped your lips as you teased your online audience, fully enjoying the mysterious atmosphere you had unintentionally created.
Off-camera, Joe's puzzled expression deepened as he tried to make sense of your comment. Unaware of the ongoing live session, he exchanged a confused look with you, silently asking for an explanation.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง31: oh theyโ€™re messing with us.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง32: Y/N! STOP GATEKEEPING JOSEPH!!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง33: Tell Joe I said hi.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง34: Can you tease your new music?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง35: BITCH WHAT DO YOU MEAN SANTA!?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง36: โ€œI saw mommy kissing, Santa Claus.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰
"Can you tease us about your new music?" you read from the comments, a gleam of excitement in your eyes. With a teasing smile, you responded, "Well, I'm planning on releasing an album soon." A collective wave of comments flood in your live as your fans absorbed the thrilling revelation.
The anticipation soared as you continued, "I've poured my heart and soul into this one. Some unexpected collaborations, and a sound that's a departure from what you've heard before. It's a journey, and I can't wait to take it with all of you.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s a bit of a generic answer.โ€ You laughed as you read that comment.
โ€œOkay, okay, Iโ€™m not allowed to talk about it too much as of now but since I love you guys too muchโ€ฆ I can say that the vibes for this album would be the complete opposite of my previous one, Teardrops.โ€
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง37: EXCUSE ME!? DID SHE JUST CONFIRM A NEW ALBUM COMING SOOONNN!!?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง38: HOLY SHIT! YES PLEASE ๐Ÿ˜
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง39: opposite of Teardrops, sheโ€™s gonna be in her Lover era. Mark my fucking words.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง40: release it now. I dare you to.
The comment section erupted with excitement, fans expressing their anticipation and excitement for the upcoming album. Amidst the flurry of reactions, the domestic sounds from Joe in the kitchen continued, adding a delightful and unintentional layer to the unfolding live session.
Amid the ongoing banter with your fans, the sound of Joe moving around in the kitchen reached the microphone, making a subtle entrance into the live. A clink of glasses and the humming of the refrigerator added a domestic soundtrack to the virtual conversation.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง41: what in the hell is going on in your house?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง42: IS JOE COOKING?!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง43: I donโ€™t think Joe knows how to cook, itโ€™s sounds like heโ€™s building something ๐Ÿ’€
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง44: gurlโ€”
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง45: I LOVE UUUUUU ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
The comments section buzzed with speculation as your followers eagerly awaited an explanation.
โ€œWhatโ€™s that noise?โ€
Maintaining your composure, you chuckled, "Oh, just Santa making himself at home in the kitchen. You know how it is." The playful tone in your voice only fueled the curiosity of your audience, prompting more questions about the mysterious happenings in your house, knowing fully well itโ€™s your boyfriend, Joe.
Joe silently took a seat behind the camera, handing you a glass of wine. A warmth spread across your face as you accepted it, maintaining your live composure. "I couldnโ€™t find the fucking corkscrew to open the new bottle of wine your mom got us," he grunted, unaware of the ongoing live session.
Smiling, you tried to signal him discreetly with your eyes, conveying the message that you were live and to tread lightly on the conversation. "Yeah? Is that why you sounded like you were tearing up the place?" you playfully responded, taking a sip of the wine.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง46: IT IS JOE!!!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง47: thatโ€™s Joeโ€™s voice
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง48: I wanna see him ๐Ÿฅบ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง49: HAHAHHA GOD HEโ€™S SO CUTE.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง50: he really wanted that corkscrew.
Little did you both know, your fans were going wild as they eavesdropped on this charming and candid exchange. The confirmation that it was indeed Joe from his distinctive voice sent the comments section into a frenzy of excitement.
"Who are you talking to, baby?" Joe asked, still clueless about the live session happening. "I'm live, bubs" you casually replied, flashing him a reassuring smile.
Joe's eyes widened in shock, realizing that your conversation had been broadcasted to an audience. Stunned and not entirely sure what to say, he glanced at the camera, suddenly aware that people were listening in on your cozy, domestic moment.
The fans, now privy to this unexpected revelation, flooded the comments with an enthusiastic mix of emojis and exclamations.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง51: DID YALL HEAR HIS VOICE WHEN HE CALLED HER BABY!?)! IM UNWELL.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง52: oh to be called by the Joseph Lee Burrow โ€˜Babyโ€™
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง53: ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง54: BABY AND BUBS. IM SERIOUSLY NOT OKAY.
"Do you wanna say hi?" you asked Joe softly, well aware of his preference for privacy and aversion to attention. Despite his reservations, he entered the frame for your sake, a warm smile on his face.
"Hi," he greeted the camera before gently moving away, respecting his comfort zone.
The comments section erupted with joy, fans expressing their excitement and admiration for Joe's brief appearance.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง55: HIIII!!!
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง56: OH HOT DAMN THAT MAN FINE ๐Ÿฅต
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง57: oh lawd.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง58: good. god.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง59: Y/N IS ONE LUCKKY GIRL WHAT THE HELL.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง60: hello, Joe ๐Ÿ˜ซ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง61: heโ€™s so shy, itโ€™s adorable.
As Joe retreated from the camera, you couldn't help but smile at the delightful chaos that ensued. The comments continued to overflow with love and appreciation, turning the live session into an unforgettable and cherished memory for everyone involved.
โ€œItโ€™s my birthday.โ€ You read a comment. โ€œHappy Birthday, love.โ€
Yawning and rubbing the tiredness from your eyes, you continued reading more comments from your fans. "You're tired," Joe observed, his voice lower but still audible to the viewers.
You shook your head, looking at him with puppy dog eyes, silently asking for permission to stay up a little longer.
Joe gave you a stern look, his voice barely above a whisper, "It's late, pretty girl." His hands appeared in the video, gently removing a strand of hair from your face.
"That's okay," you replied, trying to stifle another yawn. The fans, now witnessing this endearing interaction, flooded the comments with a mix of supportive and playful messages.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง62: when will it be my turn ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง63: COUPLE FUCKING GOALS.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง64: itโ€™s confirmed. Burrow is a SIMP.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง65: is this too much to ask?
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง66: โ€œpretty girl.โ€ Goodbye.
"Don't stay up too late, okay?" Joe finally agreed, placing a gentle kiss on your cheek before moving upstairs to get ready for bed.
"Mm hmm," you nodded, acknowledging his concern for your well-being.
The comments section filled with heart emojis and affectionate messages.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง67: girl is better than me, cause if Joe Burrow called me a pretty girl and directed me to bed I would in a heart beat.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง68: y/n itโ€™s late go to sleep.
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง69: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
๐Ÿ๐š๐ง70: JOE IS THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST.
As Joe disappeared from the frame, the live session continued, but there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere. The quiet acknowledgment of the bedtime routine added a touch of reality to the virtual interaction, creating a relatable moment that resonated with your audience.
โ€œNow, where were we?โ€ You smiled at the camera.
The warmth of the comments reflected the shared connection between you, Joe, and your fans, making the live session not just about entertainment but about genuine connection and shared experiences.

โ€œhey hey hey, donโ€™t be nervous my loveโ€ฆ youโ€™ll do amazing, i know it.โ€
โ€œiโ€™ve never done this in front of such a crowd beforeโ€ฆ what if they donโ€™t like me, min?โ€
โ€œoh babyโ€ฆ theyโ€™ll love you, i promise. and if anything happens on stage, your members will be there to back you up, yeah?โ€
you give him a hug, he always knew how to calm you down in moments like these. you suppose itโ€™s because of his own experiences, especially considering the amount of award shows heโ€™s been at.ย 
โ€œi love you, seungminnieโ€ฆโ€
โ€œi love you too, baby. now go! you donโ€™t wanna miss your cue. iโ€™ll be in the audience, i promise.โ€
you give him a quick kiss, shooting up from the seat to go meet your members. seungmin leaves too, sitting down at stray kidsโ€™ respective table.
โ€œexcited?โ€, jeongin asks from beside him.
โ€œof course i am! iโ€™m so proud of herโ€ฆโ€
his eyes stay fixed on the stage, waiting for your performance to start. the lights dim, and he sits up straight. itโ€™s time for your performance.
thereโ€™s no point in recording, he knows theyโ€™ll have a fancam. right now, he just wants to watch his baby shine.ย 
and you do. you look absolutely gorgeous on stage, the lights hitting you at the perfect angles. the track starts, and the crowd starts cheering.
so many people, just for five girls performing. the first song is a ballad, something slow to set the mood. itโ€™s one of your favorite songs from the comeback.
though munhee wrote the song due to her own experiences, your voice carries the same amount of emotion hers does, and it makes the lyrics sound so much more authentic.
seungmin watches from the crowd, he truly thinks he might cry. the rest of the boys are in awe too, some members of gidle clasping their hands over their mouths in surprise.
everyone is used to you doing intricate dances with upbeat music, and theyโ€™ve truly never been able to appreciate your vocals.
then it hits the climax of the song, ending with a high note you must complete. as scared you are of heights, you know itโ€™s inevitable. the platforms will go up, whether you like it or not.
its a small space that you have to maintain, but you try your best to focus on the song. and now, you have to sing.
you close your eyes, letting out your voice, and it sounds absolutely angelic. and then you open them again once you hear the low whirring of the platforms.
they all go up.ย 
except for yours.
nonetheless, you continue singing, determined to keep your professionalism throughout the entire bridge. and then the song ends. the platforms finally lower back down, and all of you wait for your cues to leave.
once you see it, you take a step.
you shouldnโ€™t have.
all of a sudden, your platform shoots all the way up. eight feet in the air. before you have time to process, it wobbles side to side and you fall off.
thud.
seungmin stands up instantly, rushing to get backstage. he doesnโ€™t care how many people hes pushed and shoved, but he needs to know that youโ€™re okay.
and then a shrill scream fills the air, and his heart stops. it feels like your entire foot is about to fall off, the pressure from your fall crushing it under your weight.
he continues running as fast as he can, getting backstage before you can even blink. โ€œbaby? oh my godโ€ฆโ€
youโ€™re still crying from the pain, being set onto a stretcher for your leg. โ€œit hurtsโ€ฆโ€
โ€œi know babyโ€ฆ i know. youโ€™ll be okayโ€ฆโ€
they finally get you onto a comfortable bed, evaluating the damage to your ankle. luckily thereโ€™s no blood, the medics assume that itโ€™s broken.
โ€œseungminโ€ฆ youโ€™re on soon.โ€
โ€œiโ€™m not performing. jeonginโ€™s filling in for me today.โ€
โ€œwhat? but you practicedโ€ฆโ€
โ€œpleaseโ€ฆ let me stay. i just want to help you feel betterโ€ฆโ€
you grab onto his hand, trying your best to reassure him that youโ€™re okay. he doesnโ€™t budge, so you just give up on it.ย 
โ€œyou did amazing, angel.โ€
โ€œthank youโ€ฆโ€
โ€œno, really. i mean it. you kept it incredibly professional out there. plus the song was way outside your comfort zone, it was just amazing to hear you sing like that.โ€
โ€œseungminโ€ฆโ€
โ€œiโ€™m going to kill whoever fucking did that to you. normally theyโ€™re more careful with these thingsโ€ฆ i shouldโ€™ve had them double check or something. iโ€™m sorryโ€
โ€œhey, itโ€™s not your fault. please donโ€™t worryโ€ฆ itโ€™s just my ankle. iโ€™ll be fine, really.โ€
โ€œbut youโ€™re hurt. if we had done a test before to checkโ€ฆ maybe you wouldnโ€™t have to be hereโ€ฆโ€
you smile, grabbing onto his hand and bringing it up to your lips to plant a small kiss over his wrist. โ€œit was just a malfunction. it was out of our control, min.โ€
he clutches onto your hand tighter, his heart fluttering when he looks at you again. the black lightning-like streaks paint your face, eyes still slightly glossed over and nose red.
youโ€™re so worn down, but you still look beautiful as ever. he prefers you like this, natural and authentic. you still look just as beautiful, but the black streaks have his heart clenching.
suddenly, he gets up, picking you up and moving you to the side a little. heโ€™s extra careful not to apply any pressure to your ankle. he knows youโ€™re in enough pain already.
he sits down in the empty space next to you, pulling your head to his chest. โ€œyou promise youโ€™re okay? no discomfort?โ€
โ€œit hurts of course, but other than that, no.โ€
โ€œiโ€™m so sorryโ€ฆโ€
โ€œbaby, itโ€™s really not your fault.โ€
he rubs up and down your arms, more so to soothe himself rather than you, and you smile up at him. you place a small kiss on the corner of his lips, as far as you can reach without moving your legs.
โ€œiโ€™m okayโ€ฆโ€
โ€œi love you, gorgeous.โ€
โ€œi love you too, minnie.โ€
the medics finally come back, telling you that itโ€™s only a fracture. youโ€™re lucky you donโ€™t need a cast, but you still need to heal for a little while.
โ€œthank god youโ€™re okayโ€ฆโ€
โ€œseungminโ€”โ€œ
โ€œyouโ€™re not going anywhere without me for the next couple days, okay? iโ€™ll take care of you, i promiseโ€ฆโ€
โ€œseungmin, you really donโ€™t have toโ€”โ€œ
he cuts you off again.
โ€œbut i want to.โ€
you giggle again, you didnโ€™t think heโ€™d react this way. but of course he was going to be overprotective, what did you expect?
you lean over to plant one more kiss onto his jaw, and he pulls you onto his lap. โ€œseungmin, i think youโ€™re more upset about this than meโ€ฆโ€
โ€œof course iโ€™m upset! they hurt my babyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œit doesnโ€™t even hurt that bad anymoreโ€ฆ im fine. you donโ€™t have to worry about me.โ€
he pulls you flush against his chest, nuzzling his face into your neck. you giggle at him, a little confused as to why heโ€™s licking you, but you stop once you realize that itโ€™s not saliva.
theyโ€™re tears.
โ€œit could have been so much worseโ€ฆโ€
you wipe the tears from his face, smiling once you see him clearly again. โ€œwhy are you crying?โ€
he sighs lightly, giggling when he realizes how heโ€™s acting. โ€œnothing, iโ€™m justโ€ฆ glad youโ€™re okay.โ€
you smile at him, holding his hand again and trying to sit up. it doesnโ€™t work of course, seungmins arms are wrapped tightly around your waist.
โ€œlet me go!โ€
you thrash around in his arms, but he only holds onto you tighter, giggling as he watches.ย 
โ€œseungmin!โ€, you whine.
โ€œthey said you needed rest!โ€
โ€œthat doesnโ€™t mean you have to be completely attached to me!โ€
he rolls his eyes playfully, planting a kiss onto the top of your head. โ€œactually, thats exactly what it means.โ€
โ€œi hate you, kim seungmin.โ€, you grumble. you turn to look at him, scoffing once you see him wink.
โ€œlove you too, babe.โ€

We canโ€™t be friends
Iโ€™ll wait for your love
โ€”
pairings; rafe cameron x m!reader
genre: angst
โ€ข heavily inspired by we canโ€™t be friends (wait for your love)
(i promise to make a rafe cameron fic that isnโ€™t angst soon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™)
Tumblr media
โ€”
maybe your friends were right. maybe you should have taken their word when they told you โ€˜heโ€™s just bad for you! you know his history.โ€ but, how could you? rafe was attractive after all, and thatโ€™s what blinded you from seeing his true intentions. so, now you had to reminisce of old memories of you and rafe. memories that you wish could be exterminated from your head.
โ€œi just think rafe.. that you could be putting a little more effort into this relationship, you know?โ€ you said, sitting on the edge of your bed. he only scoffed at your words, โ€œam I not doing that? I mean, are we not together? is that not enough for you?โ€ he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, crossing his arms.
โ€œyeah, but.. i just wish youโ€™d try to understand that..-โ€œ you responded, but was cut off by him. โ€œno, i think you need to understand that Iโ€™m putting effort into this goddamn relationship, alright?! Itโ€™s you who isnโ€™t.โ€ he said, raising his voice as he spoke. he sighed afterword, shaking his head before storming out, leaving you in silence.
โ€”
even in the present, you still dwelled in silence because you couldnโ€™t let go of the past. it was hard to think about the good in your guysโ€™ relationship, when there was more bad. but, you clutched the stuffed animal heโ€™d bought just for you, resting your forehead on the top of its head as you sighed, taking a whiff of its scent. the scent that still had rafeโ€™s cologne still lingering on it.
โ€”
truly, you had never felt happier than you did. you both walked throughout the arcade, hand in hand, laughing with each other as you both spoke with each other. you wish it couldโ€™ve been like this everyday. there was no arguing or silent treatment, just a smile on both your faces.
โ€œhey, look at that!โ€ rafe said before dragging you to a claw machine. โ€œhere, gimmie a coin.โ€ he said, putting out his hand. you smiled a little before handing him one of the coins you had. he slid the coin into the coinslot before the game activated. โ€œwhat should I try for?โ€ he asked, moving the handle around. โ€œuhhโ€ฆ oh!- there, that bear!โ€ you exclaimed, pointing at a little brown bear that wore a pink sweater.
he smiled before moving the handle, successfully being able to grab the teddy bear. you both jumped a little out of excitement before he grabbed the teddy bear, handing it to you. โ€œaw, thank you rafe!โ€ you said, smiling as you grabbed the teddy from his hand. โ€œanything for my boy.โ€
โ€”
you smiled a little at the thought of him calling you his boy. he rarely ever called you pet names, let alone your own name. itโ€™s been a month since you finally left that terrible relationship. youโ€™ve tried to self-soothe, but your mind keeps going back to Rafe. And, for now, all you can do is wait. just wait in hopes that one day heโ€™ll like you again.
a/n: umm sorry for the lowkey abrupt ending.. i didnโ€™t know what else to put lol.. anyways i hope u enjoyed and srry for the random comeback lmao

another small drabble because these kind of plots have been on my mind ever since the video of jennie surprising rose on her fancall 2 years ago.. can you see where im going ? so imagine this with you and wonbin.. ๐Ÿค
surprise! - park wonbin
Tumblr media
idol!bf!wonbin x nonidol fem!reader
warnings: complete fluff, wonbin as a whipped af bf, supportive reader gf, pet names (angel, baby, princess)
wc : 763
seeing your boyfriend of 3 and a half years get to the top of album charts internationally and in korea, it made you proud. at most times you felt like a proud mom watching her son grow into his dream, and wonbin always knew he had an amazing supportive girlfriend waiting for him at home after his long schedules. at first, the difference between schedules was a small problem when wonbin first debuted. RIIZE was busy everyday, music show after music show. and when they werenโ€™t recording pre-recordings for music bank or inkigayo, they were recording songs. comeback after comeback, wonbin was tired! his favorite part of the day was being able to come home to his affectionate girlfriend, and listen to her day as he slowly falls asleep in her arms.
โ€œbaby i have to go now,โ€ wonbin said with a small frown as he looked down at you, clinging onto the standing boys torso as you sat in bed, just woke up. โ€œits so early, i dont want you to go yetโ€ you said, mumbling the words into his shirt as you heard his chuckle at your actions. โ€œiโ€™ll be home soon tonight, we have a fancall and thats it okay? ill be back soonโ€ he told you, gently brushing his fingers through your bed hair, looking up at him and nodding. he bent down to give you a last kiss for that morning before he left, leaving you home alone.
but you were planning something for wonbin, he told you multiple times before that he enjoyed talking to fans and interacting with them through calls, but he got very socially drained easily. and what was the cure to that? you. yes, you spent $650 on albums for your boyfriend to cheer him up while he did his job, and thankfully you got in! you used a different name, your english(or second) name that your parents gave you, the name wonbin definitely wouldnโ€™t be able to tell its you.
POV CHANGE ; yns pov
i got out of bed, looking at the time and remembering my time slot, i had until 3:50 pm. it was currently 11:00 am, i had all the time in the world right now! i sat on the couch going through netflix, finding a show. i finished a few episodes and looked at the time, oh okay its just 3:00.. wait its 3:00 already?! oh my god i have to get ready for the fancall! i jumped off of the couch and ran to my room, changing only my top since wonbin wouldnโ€™t be able to see my pants, then into the bathroom to get ready, i finished my makeup and looked at the time. perfect! 3:35, ill set up the phone and get ready for the call. i sat at my desk in me and wonbins shared room, my phone set up with my mirror lights on, a stand up background behind me with decorations and pictures of wonbin, feeling slightly cringed but excited to see his reaction. i checked the time again, 3:48, i should be getting the call anytime so-
*ring ring ring, ring ring ring*
the phone is ringing! okay, take a deep breath.. wait why am i so nervous? hes my boyfriend..
POV CHANGE BACK authors pov
you answer the video call, the staff holding up a piece of paper with the questions, โ€œcan you hear me when i say this?โ€ she says hello and you nod, not wanting to use your voice yet in case wonbin was already listening. the staff held up an OK! ๐Ÿ‘Œ hand and said โ€œplease waitโ€, soon enough you saw the phone being set up to a distracted wonbin, looking down at the album.
โ€œhello? earth to wonbin?โ€ you said with a big smile on your face, watching him snap his head up with a huge smile painted on his face as soon as he recognized your voice. โ€œprincess, what are you doing here? why would you buy my fancall?โ€ he asked excitingly, before he got cut off by a younger members peeking his head into the camera. โ€œhiiiii ynie!!โ€ an excited sohee said, you waving to him as he got pushed and shooed away by wonbin. โ€œi wanted to surprise you, i know you said your calls get tiring so i wanted to give you some energy,โ€ you said smiling, then pointing to the background. โ€œdo you like it? i made it myself!โ€ you said proudly, watching wonbins huge grin on his grow bigger.
โ€œi love it, thank you angel, youll always be my number supporter hm?โ€

y/ndevils00 weโ€™re not back
we are SO not back.
but you know who IS back?! MY SEXY ASS, 22 POINT HAVING, COMEBACK GOAL SCORING, SNACK STEALING BOYFRIEND!!
despite the unfortunate 5-3 loss against the dish rags, we did get a few good goals tonight, starting with one from everyoneโ€™s favorite previously injured man, JACK ROWDEN HUGHES!!!
babygirl also assisted on Uncle Haula-hoopโ€™s goal (the third and final Devils goal)! and in between those goals, Pally pocket got a goal!!
however, towards the end of first, we were down by one, and despite my strongly worded advisory, coach bark pulled my main man Vitek and let the rags score an empty netterโ€ฆ.
anyways! bestie number 1 was wrongfully accused and jailed in the secondโ€” his crime? his flow was too nice. not very jail worthy, but the bald bitch from the other team had it out for him.
goodnight and please enjoy the last couple photos i took of my sassy boy toy during his post-game interview where he couldnโ€™t keep his eyes off meโ€” canโ€™t say i blame him ๐Ÿคญ

Kingdom Come
Summary: Min Yoongi realizes that despite his efforts of keeping the reader safe, he cannot hide her forever. Tags: yoongi x reader!AU, fluff, angst, smut (prostate play), switch!yoongi, switch!reader A/N: I know I disappeared for six months but a girl gotta work unfortunately. With Yoongi's comeback, however, it made me want to write a period piece inspired by daechwita yoongi. So, here yah go:)
Tumblr media
The tile is cold against your feet. It's not often that you find yourself wandering his home barefoot but when you do, you always feel much closer to the Earth than before. It gives you a small sense of safety, like you're better prepared to exit quickly and quietly should you run into someone you're not supposed to see.
It doesn't take you terribly long to get to his room. Of course you wish you didn't have to sneak, but you understand the consequences if you happen to get caught. How does a king, a ruler of thousands of people, find himself meeting with a woman of your status? A simple baker from the village below, sneaking her way up to the castle every single night to share a bed with him. But that is as far as it goes, as The King cannot publicly share his affection for you.
You remember meeting him before he was King. Before the war.
Your mother was always quick to send bread up to the fortress, and before, the townspeople were welcomed behind the castle walls. You rode your bike high up the hill with your sack full of baked goods to give to the queen. And he always sat waiting for you, in his satin clothing with the smallest smile on his face. He was the reason you didn't mind the trip.
When he was a prince, it was much easier to get away with interacting with him. Both children, both eager to make friends, and both unknowing of the world around them. Rather, unknowing of the two separate worlds you were living in.
When the war broke out and the fortress walls were sealed from the general public, you were effectively separated from him. It wasn't until you were nearing 20 years old when you saw him again, declaring victory as he rode his horse through town. His face bloodied and bruised, and a scar cut deeply over his eye. His victory run stopped abruptly when he saw you, standing just as you would when the two of you were children, with flour on your nose and your hand covering the gasp threatening to escape from your lips.
He was declared King shortly afterward. His mother and former queen becoming far too weakened by the stresses of the war to continue ruling the people. By then you had accepted the defeat of never seeing him again.
That is, until a handmade tea cloth holding together two single roses appeared on the doorstep of the bakery, with a note containing a simple message.
Meet me under the pear tree where you used to sing for me. I'll be waiting.
Your heart raced the entire time you walked up the hill, until you finally made it to the top to see his silhouette in the moonlight. As you approached, he looked over his shoulder and the same small smile from before returned.
"My King." you whispered nervously, bowing. Before you are able to complete the bow, he rested a hand on your shoulder and raised you up.
"Don't do that," he whispered back, "just call me by my name. I am not your King. I am your equal."
Again, your heart raced as your lips parted to say, "Of course, Yoongi."
You shake your head of the memories as you approach Yoongi's door. The usual giddiness that follows you has been lacking lately, your anxiety becoming more and more prevalent the longer that you realize that nothing is going to change. Despite your memories and how much you love Yoongi, you do not want to be his secret forever. You have a life to live. You may want children someday, you may want to be able to cook for him in his own home or even tell your mother that you're seeing him. You know that it's not realistic, but it hurts nonetheless.
So, the hesitancy that has taken over your excitement tonight is no longer a surprise.
Your knuckles softly tapped the familiar beat that the two of you came up with so he knew it was you. Three soft taps, a pause, and three more. You remember him giggling as he told you, "It's like my heart skipping a beat when I see you."
The door opens quickly, and Yoongi tugs you in the moment he sees you.
His hands are all over you in an instant, pushing you against the door while his lips move to trail kisses across your chest. His lips caress yours softly, soaking you in. He's always been quick and quiet in his movements, eager to taste you. Yoongi tells you he cannot live without the taste of you on his tongue.
As he darts his tongue out to lick a small stripe across your neck, he suddenly pauses.
"Are you okay?"
It's not until he says those words that you realize you haven't moved since he pulled you in. You feel yourself relax slightly under his gaze, but you can't help but feel a lump begin forming in your throat.
Yoongi raises his eyebrows in concern before pulling you close to him and leading you to the bed. "What is going on, my love?"
"I- uh," your breath comes out shaky, "Will it always be like this?"
Yoongi sighs. He doesn't ask for clarification because he knows exactly what your worries are. "I don't want it to be."
A single tear drops from your right eye, mirroring the now healed scar across Yoongi's face. Yoongi is quick to reach forward and swipe it away, his hands as rough as ever against your soft skin.
"I don't want it to be either. I don't think I can do this for much longer."
Yoongi's hands drop from around your waist, "What?"
"I don't know how much longer I can be kept a secret, Yoongi." You whisper, your face falling in your hands. Yoongi scoots away from you, and you can feel his body stiffening beside you. It makes your tears become more prevalent.
"You said that you would love me until kingdom come, _____."
You manage to tear your face out of your hands and turn towards him. His back is the straightest it has ever been, and his hands sit tense on top of his knees. It's almost jarring to see him so still, when moments ago he couldn't get his hands off of you.
"And I will," you breathe, "forever. But I have a life too!"
He seems to take your words in for a brief moment, before standing up and taking a seat across from you.
"Do you honestly think that I like having to go through this?" His voice is colder than it has ever been. You're used to him having his guard up but only when he feels someone may be outside listening to you. This is a new territory, but it had to be explored at some point.
"No, I don't think you do either. So why do we do this?"
"Because-" his voice raises slightly but he quickly regains his composure, "Do you know what would happen if the people found out I was seeing a commoner?"
You swallow, "You don't believe I have the power to be a royal."
"I won the war! If word gets out that I made a commoner my queen, you are the first person the enemy would go after should they want to regain power!"
"Oh, so this is all to protect me? Make me feel safe?" you're yelling now, but he is too. He doesn't seem to mind that others may here at this point, which the irony is not lost on you.
"Yes, exactly!"
"So what happens from here, huh? You have to marry at some point, is that when this ends? When your mother insists you find a Princess to marry? Is that when I have to go back and pretend that I never loved you? Watch you from afar, pretend like I didn't know your touch. Like I haven't felt the most intimate parts of you... Like I haven't lived and breathed just for you."
Yoongi's eyes hit the floor. You pull your knees to your chest and feel the weight of your own words rest upon your shoulders. If this is really what will happen, you can no longer do it. Love conquers all, but is it really love if it has to be hidden?
"My love..." he says after quite some time, sitting beside you on the bed. His head rests against the bed frame, "...I just want what is best for you. What makes you happiest."
"Being with you makes me happiest. If I cannot get all of you, then-"
"Then what? You don't want any of me?"
You don't respond.
"After all we've been through, you're willing to throw it all away? Because I'm trying to keep you safe?"
"I want to take the risk! If being your Queen means taking a risk then I'm willing to! I want to love you whole-heartedly, Min Yoongi." You explain, turning towards him.
He sighs softly, mirroring your position, before pulling you down to the pillow. He lays beside you, pulling you close to him. "I'll make you my queen if it means you'll be able to stay by my side."
You smile softly, "There's nowhere in the world that I am safest, than beside you."
Yoongi kisses you, gently. His lips curve into yours perfectly, like they were meant to always be there. You both to allow the kiss to become more heated, because it's nice just being with each other.
"You're right," he says, "we cannot continue hiding our love. Starting tomorrow, the kingdom will know you as my wife, my queen."
Your heart flutters, "You're not worried about the risks now?"
Yoongi's eyes widen, "I am terrified beyond belief. But I will go out of my way to make sure you will be safe. Forever."
"And I, you, Min Yoongi."
When you awake the next morning, Yoongi is already sitting up beside you. The sunlight shines into his room, and you realize this is the first time you have seen his room in this much light. It's obviously much later than you're used to staying, and Yoongi doesn't seem as panicked as you expected him to be.
"There is no way you're getting out of the castle without being seen so we have to tell Mother now. Before that happens, though, I want to make sure that you fully understand what you're signing up for."
You're rubbing the sleep from your eyes and pulling yourself up as Yoongi speaks.
"You will have people around you forever. The only place you'll get any peace is right in here. Your parents' bakery will be very successful seeing as their daughter is now a queen. If something happens to me, you will have to run the kingdom."
Blinking, you finally speak, "What?"
"If I die," Yoongi reiterates, "You will have to-"
Loud knocking rings through his room, causing the panic you expected to see from Yoongi to finally come up. "No time now, just act calm."
Yoongi rushes towards his door, his clothing flowing behind him. He opens it slightly, still leaving you blocked from view.
"Your majesty, I've brought you your breakfast." you hear softly.
Yoongi glances back towards you, before opening the door slightly wider. "I appreciate it, I am going to need a second bowl though."
The servant, an older woman with graying hair, meets eyes with you. Her eyes widen, "O- oh yes sir! I'll be back in just a moment for you and your missus."
Yoongi turns back to you after watching her scurry away with a smile on his face. He leaves the door open now, carrying the tray towards the bed and placing it in front of you. It's pork, a meat that you rarely ate, with porridge and a tall glass of water. You look up to him, feeling his hand tap your chin. "Eat up, my love."
You pick up the spoon and begin eating the porridge. It's delicious, better than anything you've ever eaten before in your life.
Yoongi sits across from you and picks up a piece of pork with his fingers, chewing on it slowly. "I will give it approximately 5 minutes before my mother is in here, by the way."
"What?!" you say, your mouth full of porridge. You instantly stand, rushing over to the mirror in the corner of the room and begin attempting to tame your hair. You've met the woman before, years ago, when you and Yoongi were both children. She liked you then, but how much will she like you now that you are going to be throwing her son to the wind?
"Baby," Yoongi stands behind you, grabbing your hands and holding them to your side, "You look fine. Everything will be okay."
"You're awfully calm for someone who didn't even think this was a possibility less than 12 hours ago."
"Because I thought it over last night. My mother will just have to deal with it. I am 30 years old, she has no say over who I marry, or who I taste." he turns your chin to him and captures your lips with his again. You can feel him pressing into your backside while his tongue dances across your bottom lip.
As you feel the outline of his erection press harder onto your ass, you moan into his mouth. He's very receptive to how vocal you are, but before it can go any further, footsteps approach his doorway.
He quickly pulls away and stands in front of you, watching as his mother enters the room carrying a second tray of porridge.
She's gorgeous, wearing pink and blue with her hair done up perfectly. She turns towards the two of you with a smile, "Yoongi, tell me who is behind you."
Yoongi steps to the side but keeps his arm in front of you.
His mother's eyes begin to water, "_____, are you seeing my son?"
"Y- you remember me?" Yoongi tenses beside you as you speak.
"Of course I do, you were the reason I couldn't get my son to come back home when you were children. I'd ask him where he was going and he would always say, 'Mom, I'm going to see my girlfriend.' And now here you are, finally in front of me." She walks forward and pushes Yoongi's arm out of the way, bringing you in for a tight hug.
"I was wondering when Yoongi would finally bring you home. It's been too long."
"W- we were scared." You respond, your voice muffled by her shoulder.
"Scared of what?" She pulls away, flattening your hair and inspecting your face with eyes of worry.
Yoongi moves beside you again, "I was scared that you wouldn't accept her, and that the enemy may come back and get her should I go public with her."
"Nonsense," she lays a smack on Yoongi's shoulder, "_____ will be protected. Nobody deserves their love to be hidden."
~*~*~
After a full day of speaking with Yoongi's mother and explaining how long the two of you kept everything hidden, you were finally alone with Yoongi again.
He caressed your back softly in the bathtub, your body warm against his while he gently ran his fingers through your hair.
"I'm glad your mother likes me."
"We just spent the whole day with her, do we have to keep talking about her?" Yoongi whines, water splashing as he throws his head back in a frustrated groan.
"Awe, does my poor baby need attention?" You turn around in the tub, facing Yoongi. His chest heaves as he juts his bottom lip out, "I do need attention."
"Oh you do? What do you need from me?"
"Can we finish what we started this morning?" Yoongi whispers, flexing his hips. His cock twitches beneath the water, causing you to reach forward and grip the base.
Your smile is almost sinister, while you begin jerking him off. He's tense immediately, his head tossed back and moans leaving his mouth. "You must have been hard all day, my poor baby. I bet you wanted to pull me away and use my mouth, huh?"
"Y-yes," Yoongi breathes, "I wanted you so bad."
"Mm," your hand moves faster, "couldn't wait to use me as your queen for the first time."
"P- please," his moans turn to whines, "fuck me, my love."
Your hand lowers and begins to dance across his ass, spreading his legs and allowing your fingers to brush against his hole. He whimpers the moment your finger stops, pressing into him softly.
"So good," your hand moves up and down his cock as your finger begins curl and thrust to brush against his G-spot, "Does my King like letting go with me?"
Yoongi nods, "Faster please."
Your hands quicken their pace as Yoongi reaches forward and pulls you forward, kissing you hard. He pulls back and rests his forehead against yours, his mouth agape while his orgasm approaches.
"Cum, my King. Cum for me."
Yoongi moans as he releases, his hole tightening around your finger. His chest heaves as he pulls you to him.
"You're so good to me. I'm excited to spend the rest of our lives together."
You grin against his chest, pressing light kisses across him.
"Let's get out of the bath and have round two in the bed?" You suggest, your thumb gently massaging above his collarbone. Yoongi smiles, "Does my Queen want her turn?"
Biting your lip, you murmur, "Yes please."

Silly Love
Hello!!! Here we go with a request from an anon for my Comeback Event!! Thank you so much for your request anon! It was such a delight to write!
Here is the request: โ€œAAAAH i'm so excited for this event!!!! I wanted to request Ben Barnes with the Idiots In love trope!! like maybe they do interview together or we spot them publicly and they're so blushing and happy together that they forget to stay low in the public eye !! thank you so much Carole for giving us some fan content i love and appreciate your work so much โค๏ธโ€
This is so adorable, honestlyโ€ฆ
****
Pairing: Ben Barnes x reader
Warnings: so much fluff your teeth will rot
Summary: you and Ben are giving a series of interviews for a project youโ€™ve filmed together. But as the day goes by, itโ€™s harder and harder for the two of you to remain serious and not act like the two fools in love that you areโ€ฆ
Word count: 3447
Tumblr media
There was something in the way you spoke that always felt so reassuring to him.
Ben wasnโ€™t certain of what it was exactly. The sound, the tone, the octave, the rhythmโ€ฆ He didnโ€™t know what it was about your voice that simplyโ€ฆ soothed him. He merely had to listen to you, close his eyes, and everything else would disappear.
He remembered the first time he heard it. It was through his TV screen. It didnโ€™t feel the same then. It lacked the gentle imperfections your voice carried in real life. Still, he remembered watching the whole show you were playing in simply to listen to your voice.
One of these magic tricks of yours.
He should have been paying attention to what you were saying, to what the journalist was asking too. But as he stared at you, he simply forgot about anything else in the room but you. He stared at your eyelashes as they moved with each of your small blinking movements. He studied the curve of your nose, the line of your jaw, the colour of your lips. He knew how soft they felt against his. He fought against the sudden urge to simply cradle your neck, turn your head towards him, and kiss you until none of you could breatheโ€ฆ
You turned to him, and he fell into your eyes. Impossible to look away. Impossible to breathe at all. It felt like drowning, but in a wonderful way. Like falling forever and never wanting to hit the ground.
He didnโ€™t even notice the way a dreamy smile formed on his lips. He was resting his chin in his palm, his elbow resting on the wooden armrest of his chair, set right next to yours.
He saw you tilting your head slightly, frowning a littleโ€ฆ
He recognized those signs. It meant that you were waiting for an answer to something he had not been listening toโ€ฆ
โ€œBen? What do you think?โ€ you repeated.
He shook himself, straightening up again, and blushing terribly.
โ€œIโ€ฆ I am terribly sorry. I did not listen to the question,โ€ he apologised, letting out an embarrassed laugh.
You soon joined him, chuckling while the interviewer repeated her question. You hid your embarrassment behind your handsโ€ฆ
You knew perfectly well why Ben had not been listening. He wasnโ€™t paying attention.
You could hear his excuse, he gave it to you every time he wasnโ€™t listening to you.
Itโ€™s not my fault if youโ€™re too gorgeous to look at for me to focus on anything else.
And sometimes, you wondered if he truly meant that. Of course, you took it as a charming and flirty excuse. But there were moments when he would just stare at you the way he just didโ€ฆ maybe he was merely gawking at you, for real.
โ€œWell, I was very happy to work with Y/N,โ€ he answered, and you realized that, this time, you had been the one who wasnโ€™t paying attention to the journalist sitting before you. โ€œI had been admiring her work for a while soโ€ฆ huhโ€ฆ I was very curious to learn how she built her characterโ€™s presence, how she approached her roles. And itโ€ฆ it turns out that she is also an amazing human being soโ€ฆ I am a very happy man, indeed.โ€
You struggled to refrain a smile at his words. You knew perfectly well that you made him a happy man because of your blossoming relationship, not because of your talents as an actor.
You noticed the smirk that appeared on his lips, and knew that you were not doing a great job at hiding your emotions. A mix of satisfaction and embarrassment and shynessโ€ฆ
He adored it. He was so proud of himself for making you look like this. You were so adorable thenโ€ฆ
You had not made your relationship official. Ben and you were both adamant in keeping your private lives private. Besides, you had met while working on this movie, and you didnโ€™t want your relationship in your real lives to become a tool to promote the film. So, you were both determined to keep your relationship secret, for now.
You had to admit though that sitting next to Ben all day long, in a rather dark room, made it very difficult for you to act like the two of you were mere friends.
โ€œWhat did you take home with you from set at the end of filming?โ€ the interviewer asked, apparently oblivious of your inner battles.
โ€œI took home someโ€ฆ small things that were on setโ€ฆ I donโ€™t think I should tell you in details,โ€ Ben laughed. โ€œBut I have one of my suits. Letโ€™sโ€ฆ letโ€™s say that.โ€
โ€œWhat about you, Y/N?โ€
You thought for a second, but couldnโ€™t stop yourself from answering as honestly as you could.
โ€œWonderful people.โ€
Ben and you exchanged a tender smile.
You were both resting your arms on the armrests of your chairs, and Ben used your proximity to brush his pinky finger against yours, ever so slightly, so no one in the room would notice.
The gesture was there though, tender and intimate, and you grinned at each other. Ben was blushing fiercely again.
โ€œHow nice!โ€ commented the journalist.
โ€œSee? Told you. Sheโ€™s amazing,โ€ Ben nodded, making you roll your eyes.
โ€œYou have such an amazing chemistry on screen. I think itโ€™s one of the biggest charms about this film, to be honest. And it must be hard to navigate through a love story between two characters. How did you manage that? How did you establish this connection?โ€
Ben cleared his throat and you saw him looking up at the ceiling, looking for a lie.
After all, he couldnโ€™t answer with the truth. He couldnโ€™t answer with: well, we both genuinely fell in love with each other off-screen, so it wasnโ€™t hard to pretend to be madly in love on-screen. No, that couldnโ€™t workโ€ฆ
You wanted to help him, find your own answer, but you were quite taken aback by the question as well. You were thinking about all these long evenings spent together in his apartment, drinking tea, or sometimes whiskey, and talking for hours and hours; failing to notice that the night was flying by. All those mornings laughing with him in make-up. Listening to his sweet voice as he sang on his piano during the weekend. The long walks on Sunday afternoons. And this feeling that kept on growing and growing, but you couldnโ€™t possibly imagine that he felt the sameโ€ฆ
And then, the comments of your friends about the two of you. The fact that you had become so close so quickly, that you wanted to spend so much time with him, that you didnโ€™t think about dating anymore. The realization that struck you like a punch in the stomach that you were not having a mere crush, but were falling desperately, hopelessly, irrevocably in love with your co-star. The doubts, the long days spent thinking that he could never feel the same.
Until that Sunday afternoon when he sang this bloody song he had written, and you sat next to him while he played on his piano andโ€ฆ you just couldnโ€™t stop yourself.
Your first kiss. It tasted like sunlight, tea and soft music.
You were brought back to the real world when Ben finally spoke.
โ€œWe talked a lot about the most intimate scenes, and the most emotional scenes too. Huhโ€ฆ weโ€ฆ we really wanted to be on the same page, and to be sure that we were both comfortable and able to express in the best way what our characters were feeling. And I think that level of understanding was very important. Andโ€ฆ you know justโ€ฆ trusting each other. Huhโ€ฆ and then we simply became very good friends so it made everything pretty easy.โ€
You couldnโ€™t refrain your tender smile as you stared at him while he spoke. You drank every word. You studied his dark hair you loved messing up with your fingers so much, his short beard you adored against your skin, the angle of his jaw, the corner of these lips you wanted to kiss all the damn timeโ€ฆ
You shook yourself, trying to pay attention to the interview again.
โ€œAlright a few fun questions now,โ€ the interviewer said, a smile on her lips. โ€œIโ€™ll ask you some questions and you have to answer with the first thing that comes to your minds, at the same time, on the count of three. Sounds good for you?โ€
โ€œSure, sounds fun,โ€ you answered, smiling as well.
โ€œAlright. Tea or coffee? One, two, threeโ€ฆโ€
โ€œTea.โ€
โ€œCoffee.โ€
You rolled your eyes at Benโ€™s answer, and he did the same because of you.
โ€œThat bloody, tasteless hot water,โ€ you complained.
โ€œI love coffee too.โ€
โ€œBut you prefer tea.โ€
โ€œI do prefer tea.โ€
โ€œVery clichรฉ for a Brit.โ€
โ€œTrueโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not going to try to deny that.โ€
The two of you exchanged a teasing smile, before focusing on the journalist again, waiting for her next question.
โ€œYour favourite thing about each other. One, two, threeโ€ฆโ€
โ€œHis kindness.โ€
โ€œHer kindness.โ€
You both gasped at your matching answers.
โ€œYou are extremely kind, likeโ€ฆ too kind, honestly. Very patient as well,โ€ you nodded, and Ben was grinning at your words.
It was the kind of radiant smiles that were almost blinding.
โ€œYou are way too sweet. And just soโ€ฆ so genuinely nice. In the best way,โ€ Ben added, his grin turning into something softer as he stared at you. โ€œYouโ€™re always trying to make sure everyone around you is happy and well. You have a very generous soul. I love that about you.โ€
โ€œAwwโ€ฆโ€ you couldnโ€™t help it when you reached for his hand and gave it a tender squeeze.
โ€œNow, what is the thing you dislike the most about each other?โ€ the journalist asked once you were looking at her again. โ€œOne, two, threeโ€ฆโ€
โ€œNothing.โ€
โ€œHeโ€™s so distracting.โ€
Ben looked at you in shock while you and the interviewer were laughing so much.
โ€œWowโ€ฆ I was not expecting that one,โ€ Ben admitted. โ€œI was being so nice to you, I said โ€˜nothingโ€™! Did you hear that?โ€ he added, turning to the interviewer. โ€œI canโ€™t believe it...โ€
โ€œYou really are so distracting though.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m very focused when I work,โ€ he argued.
โ€œYou have the whole shouting-to-get-into-character thing,โ€ you started, counting on your fingers.
โ€œOhโ€ฆ yeahโ€ฆ thatโ€™s right. I see how that can be quite distractingโ€ฆโ€ he admitted, and you saw him starting to blush again.
โ€œYouโ€™re always in peopleโ€™s face, or touching me, or hugging meโ€ฆโ€
โ€œThatโ€™s nice though!โ€
โ€œItโ€™s nice, but still distracting.โ€
You raised a third finger.
โ€œAnd youโ€™re very handsome. It doesnโ€™t help.โ€
His smile turned tender again, the tips of his ears turning red.
โ€œThank you, thatโ€™s nice.โ€
โ€œDo you want to change your answer?โ€ the journalist asked Ben with humour.
โ€œI think Iโ€™ll say that sheโ€™s too honest sometimes.โ€
You all laughed.
โ€œYou never think before speaking,โ€ Ben went on, still laughing. โ€œItโ€™s hilarious.โ€
โ€œI am hilarious.โ€
โ€œYou truly are. But it gets you into so much trouble sometimes. Do you remember when we were at this restaurant and you thought the couple at the table next to ours were father and daughter?โ€
You doubled with laughter, hiding your face in your hands.
โ€œThat was so embarrassing.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re so loudโ€ฆโ€
โ€œI was tipsy!โ€
โ€œDrunk. You were full-on drunk.โ€
โ€œNo, I wasnโ€™t! I was very tipsy but I was not drunk.โ€
โ€œAnyway, you said this so loudly and the look they sent us!โ€
You were both laughing so much, both of you forgetting all about the interview.
โ€œI just wanted to disappear.โ€
โ€œYou really get us into so much trouble sometimesโ€ฆโ€
โ€œBut you like it. You would be bored otherwise.โ€
โ€œJust like I bet you love it when I distract you.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s quite true.โ€
You and Ben intertwined your fingers together, holding hands, and Ben brushed tenderly the back of your hand with his thumb. You didnโ€™t think about what the gesture could mean for the rest of the world. You were too busy getting lost in his dark eyes.
The journalist interrupted your thoughts though as she spoke again. You separated your two hands, movements made slow by reluctance.
โ€œWhatโ€™s the last emoji you sent to the other? One, two, three.โ€
โ€œLaughing face.โ€
โ€œKiss emoji.โ€
You frowned hard at Ben.
โ€œYour last emoji was a heart, not a laughing fโ€ฆโ€
But you saw the look in his eyes and stopped talking.
He was lying on purposeโ€ฆ shootโ€ฆ
โ€œYes, youโ€™re right, it was a laughing face,โ€ you lied, but you were pretty certain that you were not convincing.
Ben tried to keep a straight face, but it was difficult.
The interview was (thankfully) over though, so the journalist left, and you bid her a good day with a handshake and a warm smile.
Ben asked for a two-minutes break before welcoming the next interviewer, pretexting that he needed to go to the bathroom, and you followed his lead.
Actually, you found refuge in the deserted staircase of the building, and both exploded with laughter in the empty space, your laughs amplified by their echoes.
โ€œWe really need to be more careful, my love,โ€ Ben argued, trying to be more serious again.
โ€œYouโ€™re right,โ€ you nodded, letting him wrap his arms around you to draw you closer to him. โ€œIโ€™m sorry.โ€
โ€œI am not fully innocent eitherโ€ฆโ€
โ€œBut that emojiโ€ฆ and I said I sent you a kissing face!โ€
You buried your face in your hands and rested your forehead against his shoulder. Ben merely laughed.
โ€œI donโ€™t think that was enough to start a rumour about us being together, though,โ€ he reassured you. โ€œBut I was right. You really need to learn to think before speakingโ€ฆโ€
You swatted him playfully on his upper arm, and he doubled with laughter.
โ€œNow, we should go back. We still have many interviews to give. And no more hand-touching, mister!โ€ you scolded him.
โ€œI canโ€™t help it,โ€ he complained. โ€œBesides, before we go back, I really need to do something first. Something Iโ€™ve been dying to do ever since we entered this room, becauseโ€ฆ you are so beautiful like this, loveโ€ฆโ€
You gave him a flirtatious smile, knowing perfectly where this conversation was heading.
โ€œAnd what could that be, honey?โ€
โ€œThis.โ€
He leaned down to kiss you tenderly on the lips, a hand climbing up your body to rest gently against your cheek, cupping your jaw to guide your face towards his again when you tried to break the kiss. You lost your fingers in his hair, messing with the dark locks, but none of you cared.
Kissing him felt too amazing for you to care about anything but his lips.
Tumblr media
โ€œHoney? What are you doing? Hurry up, I want to watch the movie!โ€
You wore your most annoyed tone, but heard Ben chuckling from the corridor anyway. You couldnโ€™t refrain a smile at the sound, even if you were trying to act like you were annoyed. It was too warm, too reassuring for you to feel anything but happy whenever you heard his laughter.
You rearranged the covers of Benโ€™s bed, waiting patiently for him to finally join you so you could start watching a cute romantic comedy you had found on Netflix. But he seemed to be taking foreverโ€ฆ
He finally appeared, wearing nothing but a pair of dark boxers, and you couldnโ€™t help it when you let your gaze roam the length of his body. His hair was dishevelled from the shower he had taken after dinner, and you loved it. He was staring at his phone as he walked in the room, but looked up to catch the sight of you lying there, cosy and warm in his bed.
Best sight on Earth, he reckonedโ€ฆ
He slipped in the bed with you, and you greeted him with a grin and a peck on the lips. But you frowned as he focused on his phone again.
โ€œIs everything alright?โ€ you asked, snuggling in his side as he raised his arm for you to settle in his embrace.
โ€œYeah, justโ€ฆ was checking on some comments on a couple of interviews we did together the other day, you remember?โ€
โ€œWhen it was just the two of us?โ€
Ben nodded, eyes still fixed on his screen.
His hand was drawing mindless patterns across the small of your back. It was comforting, soothingโ€ฆ it reminded you that he truly was there, by your side.
It had been a few weeks now since you had recorded these interviews, but of course you remembered. It had been proper torture to seat next to Ben all day without being able to touch him, to speak your mind, to remind him that you loved himโ€ฆ
โ€œSure, what about them?โ€ you asked dropping a kiss on his chest, and you smirked at the sight of the smile that formed on his lips under your touch.
โ€œWellโ€ฆ a couple of friends have warned me that some comments areโ€ฆ quiteโ€ฆ accurateโ€ฆโ€
You frowned hard, leaning closer to look at his phone, and he turned the screen in your direction so you could read the comments too.
Your eyes grew round.
I bet Ben and Y/N are more than friendsโ€ฆ have you seen that chemistry?
The way Ben just gawked at Y/N for two full minutes, not listening to anything she or the interviewer said, is a big mood. Also, theyโ€™re in love.
Lol, when they held hands at 6:30, Iโ€™m dead, thx!
Not the type to start rumours butโ€ฆ are these two together? Likeโ€ฆ irl?! Because they seem like a real couple trying their absolute best to hide how infatuated they are with each otherโ€ฆ and failing.
Ben and you exchanged a glance.
โ€œOhโ€ฆโ€ you breathed.
โ€œI think weโ€ฆ have blown our cover, love,โ€ Ben joked.
You were afraid he would be mad, but he seemed amused by the situation, more than anything elseโ€ฆ
โ€œYouโ€™re not panicking? Or annoyed? Or angry?โ€ you carefully asked.
He noticed your wary tone, and looked down at you, before dropping a kiss in your hair.
โ€œNo, I donโ€™t care, to be honest.โ€
โ€œI thought we had decided to keep all this a secret.โ€
โ€œYes, wellโ€ฆ I donโ€™t mind. I love you, thatโ€™s all that matters.โ€
You tightened your hold on him, making him chuckle.
โ€œI love you too,โ€ you whispered against the skin of his neck, closing your eyes as you deeply breathed in the sugary scents of his soap and shampoo.
โ€œDo you mind terribly that everyone is figuring things out about us?โ€ he asked, and this time he was the one wearing a cautious tone.
โ€œNot really, actually. I thought it would stress me out, but I donโ€™t really care.โ€
You exchanged a loving smile, and he brushed his nose and his cheek against your forehead, making you heave a content sigh.
โ€œBy the wayโ€ฆ I want to watch these two full minutes where you areโ€ฆ how did they say that? Oh, yesโ€ฆ gawking at me,โ€ you teased him, a cheeky grin on your lips, while he exploded with laughter.
โ€œIโ€™ve watched it,โ€ he confessed, his eyes tightly closed and his head thrown back in embarrassment, trying to hide from you, but you could still see that he was fiercely blushing. โ€œIโ€™ve watched it and I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™ve stared at you like that in publicโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIs it that bad?โ€
โ€œYes, it is.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re so sweetโ€ฆ so cheesyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œOh, shut up!โ€ he grumbled, making you laugh.
โ€œI want to watch it, give me your phone.โ€
โ€œAbsolutely not!โ€ he protested, extending his arm so the device would remain out of reach.
โ€œBen! Give it to me!โ€
โ€œNo!โ€
โ€œI can also just use my own phoneโ€ฆโ€
โ€œNoโ€ฆ noโ€ฆโ€
He grabbed you by the waist when you reached for your phone on your bedside table, pulling you towards him and making you both fall on the mattress.
You were both laughing so much by now.
โ€œNo! Donโ€™t watch it!โ€
โ€œIf you start tickling me, I swear to God, you will soon be a dead manโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIโ€™ll find another way to distract you, thatโ€™s alrightโ€ฆโ€
โ€œStop kissing me like thatโ€ฆโ€
โ€œReally? You want me to stop?โ€
โ€œNoโ€ฆ not reallyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œHmmmโ€ฆ thought soโ€ฆ Y/N!โ€
โ€œI got the phone! When is it? WHEN IS IT?โ€
โ€œNOOOO!โ€
Ben kept on attacking you with waves of kisses and tickles, but you held his phone in hostage, and he ended up losing the war, as you watched the full video together. He expected you to laugh at him, but you didnโ€™t. You simply kissed him hard and tender on the lips, and snuggled into his arms.
It was a happy evening, in a life full of loveโ€ฆ

First Kiss (Race 7)
A strollonso AU where 18 year old rookie Lance Stroll falls helplessly in love with the notoriously mean world champion. (1.2k words, no warnings) [@v3lnys @biancathecool] {This is short, sorry ๐Ÿ˜ญ I'm seeing a pattern of me ending chapters with Strollonso hugging so if u get sick of it uhhhh idc i love it theyre so soft}
last part - masterlist - next part
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lance was in a great mood, coming into the paddock with Nico but quickly being taken away by Fernando.
They'd talked a lot since the older mans home Grand Prix, texting almost constantly and calling so Fernando could ramble about anything and everything (coming close to disclosing undisclosed renault information a few times)
"How are you?" He asked, turning to look at Lance while dragging him away from the paddock
"We were just texting, Nando" Lance laughed, shaking his head at Fernando as they came to a stop
"I missed your voice" The Spaniard hummed, looking up at Lance
"Yeah, yeah. You were just on the phone complaining to me about how Renault is changing their colour scheme next year." Lance didn't mind it, he liked talking to Fernando. It seemed like ever since Fernando won in Spain they'd just been getting closer every day
"That's besides the point!" Fernando laughed, waving his hand as he brushed it off "Do you feel good about today? First time in monaco for Racing Point"
"I do, I've raced here a few times so I know I'll be quick to get a hang of it in a Formula One car" Their conversations just seemed to flow, both of them listening closely to the other
"Planning to look pretty in pink on the podium?" The shorter man teased, elbowing Lance slightly as their hands fell apart
"On that highest step, yeah" Lance flashed Fernando a grin, playfully challenging the Spaniard
"The day I lose to you I will buy the moon in your honour"
They both laughed, Lance taking it as a joke but Fernando was seriously wondering if he could do that
Qualifying went by quick, as soon as he got to the pitlane Fernando ran up to him
"Lancito, what was your time?"
"Uh, 1:14:08"
"De veras?" His eyes lit up, Lance not understanding but going along "Lancito, you're p2"
Now he understood, this time he was the one to hug Fernando, practically smothering the shorter man
"Wait-" He pulled back, hands on Fernandos shoulders "You're-"
"Am p1, of course"
Lance smiled widely, his teeth exposed as he became excited for both him and Fernando
Lance was sat in the Racing Point garage, worrying about whethet or not he'd actually be able to keep his spot.
"Lancito!" A voice called, getting Lance's attention straight away. Fernando had just finished speaking with people from his team so now he could talk to Lance "Nervous?" He asked, Lance making his way to the Spaniard
"Of course not, you should be" Lance smiled, nudging the older man
"Am horrified" Fernando said, a serious look on his face that quickly turned into a small smile as the two looked at eachother, a laugh escaping his lips
Lance hit his shoulder lightly "Hey! This is no joke, I might make a crazy comeback and win the championship"
"Ah, yes, of course, Lancito" Fernando nodded, both of them knowing it wasn't possible but neither caring enough to be logical, they hadn't thought the two of them having a front row start was possible either but here they are
"Don't run into my car to sabotage me, okay? I need my rookie year championship"
"Of course, I'll let you have a head start, mi sol"
"Good!"
They were all lined up, Lances eyes glued to the lights in front of him, watching as they turned on one by one then stepping on the gas as they shut off.
Fernando kept the lead, not to anyones surprise. Lance managed to defend against Kimi who was trying to pass, building a 2 second gap between them and just over a second between him and Fernando.
On lap 23 he managed to pass Fernando, his hands shaking as he gripped his steering wheel, pushing his car as far as it could go. He led for a little over a lap before Fernando took it back, he wasn't too worried since there were still over 50 laps for him to take it back.
On lap 50 he started having problems.
"Brad, what's going on? Something feels off." He radioed in, having to shout over the noise of the track
"We aren't sure, Lance, just keep pushing. Fernando is .8 seconds ahead."
Lance nodded, knowing Brad couldn't see him but too determined to be in first again to think. The only thing on his mind was a podium.
Four laps later his hopes were squashed, his engine practically exploding behind him as he was forced to pull off to the side, half is car still on the track as they called out a safety car
"FUCK" He shouted, slamming his hands on the wheel. He felt his heart beating, he could hear it in his ears, how fast it was going, how much hope he had just a lap prior and now he was pulled off to the side with black smoke engulfing his car.
He got out quickly, moving closer to the barrier as he waited to be picked up. He felt as if he could cry. He had another great chance and it was ruined again. He felt like he couldn't win, like no matter what he was destined to just never get a podium. Every time he even thought about it his car would decide he didn't deserve it.
He was stuck in the garage debriefing for what felt like hours, Brad unsure why this kept happening, all he knew was Lance was sick of it. The teenager was getting restless, he wanted to show his skill, show people he's not just a billionares son but a brilliant driver. It didn't seem possible with the car he was given.
"I just- I'm so sick of it, I keep having any chance of succeeding torn away from me, I just want to do good. Why can't I just do good? Why can't i succeed?" He spoke quick, nails digging into his palm as he felt himself get more and more worked up over it, he wasn't sure why the DNF's were getting to him more, he knew he could do good, he'd done good, but the car would always give up before he could solidify his results.
Fernando left the podium, walking past the Renault garage and straight to Racing Point where he saw the Canadian sitting on a counter towards the side.
As soon as he saw Fernando he got up, going to him quickly. He didn't say anything, the Spaniard just opened his arms and Lance sunk into them, somehow always managing to feel small in the older mans embrace.
"You did good, am so proud, Lancito." He whispered, a hand finding its way to the boys head, stroking his long hair as he tried to make him feel better
Lance didn't speak, he just inhaled, taking in the scent of the world champion as he hid his face in his neck, not bothering to care about the crowds eyes and cameras on them. All that mattered was Fernando was there, his Fernando was there.

YOU BLINKED AND HERE I AM WITH ANOTHER SICKFIC (a little drabble, but an interesting one)
๐Ÿฆ„ So I was watching the recent SKZ talker right and there was this scene (Iโ€™ll link it) and I got this idea. So itโ€™s after one of their performances and theyโ€™re all really exhausted. So I thought, imagine him feeling really really dizzy and nauseous so you tell him that itโ€™s probably because he hasnโ€™t eaten so you sit down next to him while he eats. But he doesnโ€™t stop feeling sick to he tells you that heโ€™s going to the bathroom and leaves for a while but then he texts you saying he needs you to come to him. When you get there you ask him whatโ€™s wrong and he asks you to help him throw up.
Thank you, dear Liza! For making this cute header, I loved it ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฅน
Tumblr media
120% EFFORT
To say their choreographies were hard was an understatement. They never ceased to amaze you when it came to performances. And for this last comeback? S-Class? Sometimes you got yourself wondering if they were really humans and what went through their mind when creating such hard choreos.
You were watching as they recorded for one of the music shows over and over again, and couldn't help but feel amazed and tired for them. Unfortunately they had to record this several times if there was even the tiniest mistake, given how perfectionist they were.
Your eyes were glued on Hyunjin, he always gave 120% on his dance no matter how tired or injured he was, as you had already seen before.
He looked absolutely amazing and mesmerizing and everytime you thought to yourself that the take was perfect, they did it one more time. It was safe to say that they recorded at least 5 times.
When they finally managed to get the perfect stage, everyone was sweating as if water had been poured on them and were completely out of breath.
You were waiting for Hyunjin in the dressing room along with the staff and cheered when the boys entered the room. They were all out of breath and clearly tired but had sincere smiles across their faces nonetheless.
You ran to Hyunjin hugging him and kissing him as you congratulated him on another amazing performance.
- Honey! That was awesome!
- Thank you babe.
You were happy but you noticed right away when you got close to him that something seemed off, he was sweating too much and was a little bit pale.
- You okay?
- Yeah...I just feel really dizzy...and sick...
- You're probably tired. You danced five times in a row. And you haven't eaten much today right?
- hm...
- Then let's eat.
- Okay .
Hyunjin was feeling nauseous but also hungry, and those two feelings were fighting watch other inside his stomach and he wasn't happy about that. But he knew that not eating anything would just worsen the nausea he was already feeling.
You handed him a packed lunch and sat down next him with the boys for a well-deserved meal. Just like their choreographies, it also amazed you how much these boys could eat. Which wasn't a surprise given how much they danced and worked, and it also explained why they didn't gain as much weight.
They kept chatting about the performance and how STAYs were really excited even if they were watching the same stage more than once.
But Hyunjin was quiet, he just ate slowly engaging in the conversation every so often. You noticed it and also did the boys.
- Hyune-ah, you okay?
- Hm? Yeah.
He said looking up and chewing his food. He looked way too cute even though he was clearly not that well.
- You sure? You look off...
- I'm just tired...
The boys went back to the conversation and you kept eating and looking at Hyunjin, noticing how he still looked pale and sweaty.
He was feeling horrible, something wasn't right. His stomach was gurgling and the nausea wasn't going away, no matter how much he ate or drink, that awful feeling just insisted on lingering around.
He felt something weird in his stomach, it wasn't pain but it also felt too strange to be nausea but he knew he needed to go to the bathroom. He put down whatever he was eating and wiped his hands, that were starting to tingle a little.
- I'm gonna go to the bathroom...
- Hm? Okay.
He grabbed his phone and left. In the hallway to the bathroom he started praying that it didn't have anybody there, he didn't want to be sick in front of people. But before he got to the bathroom, what he was feeling in the dressing room had gotten a bit worse. The tingling sensation in his hands had increased, his stomach felt heavy and his breathing was strange, he felt out of breath as if he has just gotten off stage and his vision had black dots.
Shit! Am I gonna faint?
That's what crossed his mind, he needed to get to that bathroom quickly. He just turned around the corner and entered the bathroom and went straight into one of the stalls and closed it behind him.
He lost strength in his legs and kneeled in front of the toilet, the weird feeling in his stomach increased ten fold and he ducked his head in the toilet as a harsh gag cut through his body but nothing came out. He started feeling cold and hot at the same time, he felt cold sweat soaking his outfit and he was sure his makeup was melting off his face.
Another strong wave of nausea made him gag unproductively again and it just kept adding strain to his already tired body.
The dual feeling of burning and being cold got worse, his hands and mouth were tingling and his stomach kept feeling weird. He managed to stand up a little, only to stumble to the wall next to him, thank God for that wall, and then faint.
You were starting to get worried, it had been a few minutes since he left and he still hadn't come back.
- Y/n, where's Hyunjin?
- He said he was going to the bathroom.
- Is he okay?
- I hope so...
A few minutes later you got a text from him:
- babe. Can you come here?
- What happened?
- I'm not feeling well.
- Okay. Hold on.
- Shit!
You cursed under your breath and the boys noticed.
- what's wrong?
- Hyunjin just texted me. He said he's not feeling well.
- Really?
- I'll go see what's wrong. I'll text you guys.
- okay
-IN THE BATHROOM A FEW MINUTES BEFORE-
Hyunjin slowly regained consciousness, his ears were still ringing and his vision was fuzzy. Thankfully he didn't fall on the ground, he managed to slid down the wall on a sitting position.
Along with the confusion of trying to take in his surroundings and taking control back of his body, his stomach felt even worse than before with a strong wave of nausea suddenly ripping through him making him stumble to the toilet just in time for a harsh gag bring up an insignificant amount of saliva and bile, considering how miserable he felt.
He kept kneeling in front of the toilet, trying to expell whatever was revolting inside him in failed attempts.
He tried gag forcefully and contract his stomach but nothing was working and the nausea persisted.
At some point he gave up, he felt miserable and in pain, his head was pounding and he still felt faint, so he decided to text you, he needed you by his side and your help.
- NOW -----
You ran to the bathroom as soon as you got the text and you didn't care if it was the men's restroom.
You entered and started calling Hyunjin, who answered weakly signaling he was at the last stall.
- Babe, I'm coming in.
You opened the door to find Hyunjin sitting down on the floor, leaning against the wall looking as white as the wall itself. His forehead was damp with sweat and he was shaking a little.
- Oh my god! Hyune! What happened baby!?
You said as you kneeled in front of him.
- I...I felt something weird in my stomach...I came here and tried to throw up but I ended up fainting...
- why didn't you tell me before you left the room?
- I don't know...I'm sorry...
- No, do not apologize.
You grabbed his hands and noticed how cold they felt.
- Babe....My stomach....
- what is it?
- I want to throw up...but I tried to and nothing's coming up...and the nausea just won't go away....help me, please.
- Okay. I'll help you.
You helped him position himself kneeling in front of the toilet while you stood by his side. His hair was already tied up from the stage so you could focus yourself on his stomach.
His mouth was filling up with saliva and kept spitting it out and forcing gags, but none of it were working so you decided to step up. You'd rather not have to do this but he was clearly in agony and he had asked you to do it.
- Babe, excuse me, okay?
- Hmm...
Instead of rubbing his back as you would normally do, you went for his stomach. You rubbed it gently, in circles, applying a little bit of pressure each time, trying to stimulate him.
He gagged a few times but still unproductive. You insisted on the approach a few more times.
- Babe, I'm sorry, I'll be a little more rough this time okay?
You said as you placed your hand exactly at the pit of his stomach and pressed it a little stronger than before. And again he gagged and only a thin stream of bile came out and both of you knew that wasn't everything that needed to come out.
- Babe...it just won't go away and my stomach just keeps gurgling...
There were tears forming in his eyes, his agony just insisted and it was hurting you to see him like this. You didn't want to resort to this method but it was the last thing up your sleeve to help him.
- Babe, I'll need to induce it okay? It's gonna be bad but bare with me, alright?
You kept one of your hands on his stomach while you stuck your fingers down his throat. At the same time you moved your fingers you pressed down a little harder on his stomach and as soon as you did that, he felt something rushing up his esophagus and a burp brought up a thick stream of undigested food that escaped through your fingers before hitting the toilet water with a sickening sound.
- There we go.
You said as you took out your hand and wiped it while the other kept rubbing his stomach.
Before he could catch his breath another stream gushed out of him, this time coming from his nose as well. And the texture was gross, he had just eaten so it all came back as thick as possible, which made it hard to come out, there was barely any liquid in his vomit, he could see everything he had eaten a few minutes ago and it just made him gag again.
He felt every chunk of food rushing up his throat and a cough made everything come out mixing with the rest on the toilet.
- That's it. You're doing good. Get everything out.
You kept rubbing his stomach and now his back as well, giving little taps from time to time to help him.
Something got caught in his throat which made him start coughing and that fit evolved to gags that were again unproductive and you knew there was more that needed to get out.
- Babe, I'll do it again, alright?
He just nodded and closed his eyes as you stuck your fingers down his throat one more time, repeating the process successfully. You felt vomit on your hand as Hyunjin jolted forward with another thick stream gushing out hitting the edges of the seat and unfortunately getting on your hands as you couldn't take it out in time, but it didn't bother you.
- 'm sorry...
He said quietly before another burp brought up another mouth full of vomit.
- It's okay, honey. Don't worry about it. Just focus on getting everything out.
You pat his back as well when he chocked on a piece of undigested food that got stuck on his throat, be coughed hard and a wet gag brought it out mixed with bile and thick saliva.
He was now left gagging and throwing up only thick saliva and bile, he felt tired and his body felt cold and hot at the same time.
- Honey, I think you're done. Here, lean on me for a while.
You guided him so he was laying on your chest and grabbed his hands, drawing circular patterns to help him calm down.
- Baby, breathe with me ok? Inhale 1 2 3 4, hold 1 2 3 4 and exhale 1 2 3 4.
He followed your instructions and your breathing pattern along with paying attention to the touch on his hands and managed to calm down.
- thank you...love...
- No need to thank me. How are you feeling? Better?
- Yeah... A bit...just tired now...
- Let's go rinse your mouth and go back to the dressing room.
You helped him to the sink and wrapped your arms firmly around him, as it seemed he could faint again at any minute.
You were met with seven pairs of worried eyes as soon as you entered the dressing room. The staff helped you settle Hyunjin on a mattress so he could rest, while they decided what to do.
- y/n, what happened?
- When I got there he told me he'd fainted and then he started throwing up.
- Was he like this all along?
- I don't think so. I think it started after the performance.
The boys gathered with the staff to discuss what they'd do, since there was a fan sign after the recording.
And you sat by Hyunjin's side, stroking his hair while he kept dozing off but trying his best to answer you.
- How are you feeling?
- Icky...tired, sweaty and still a little sick...
- Oh baby, when we get to the dorms you'll be able to rest.
The staff decided to take Hyunjin back to the dorms with you, while the others would proceed with the schedule. Just like usual, the company issued a letter explaining Hyunjin's absence on the fan sign event.
You stayed in the dorms with him, helped him take a shower and then made him some light soup, which he managed to eat a little before passing out in bed and sleeping for the rest of the day, with you cuddling him.

figure you out
Tumblr media
authorโ€™s note: the request can be found here
synopsis: the members of seventeen think you look rather scary while dino says otherwise, but who is right?
word count: 1.6k | genre: fluff, a bit of angst, hurt/comfort | pairing: idol! dino x gn! idol! reader | warnings: reader has low self esteem in some parts
you have always been told that you look intimidating, but until the point of getting to know seventeen you never really believed it. you were the leader of the newly debuted group of HYBE, and with that title came many responsibilities; you had never imagined this to be as hard as it was, always keeping everything you had to do as a leader in mind is a tough job for sure, so you being stressed was an understatement.
chan first saw you at the HYBE building, walking to (he supposed was) practice, a frown evident on your face the whole time, only forming into a shy smile when you greeted him with a bow. first he thought you were kind of scary, he never saw you really smile, a somewhat sad and tired look always being prominent on your face. it was rare to see you show many emotions during times he got the chance to see you, but when you did he felt he was hit by cupid; your laugh (which he sadly couldnโ€™t hear often) would always light up the hallway, and he always caught himself smiling when he heard it.
of course it is not a surprise that soon enough the other members of seventeen caught up to his lovesick look when he saw you even for a moment. โ€œchan, are you kidding me? you have a crush on y/n? but how? like no offense or anything, but y/n always gives everyone this angry look and never talks to anyone, it is kinda scary to be honest.โ€ dk asked him when they decided to take a break during dance practice. โ€œand y/n also has a laugh that is so beautiful, i am not threatened by a frown, i want to hear that laugh again, i want to hear it again because i made y/n laugh.โ€ he said while having that warm look on his face again, even just the thought of you made him excited and happy. โ€œalso, you are quite rude to be judging a person by their appearance, you know?โ€ chan answered while raising his brows in disagreement. โ€œokay iโ€™m just saying! you really are interested in y/n, huh? i have never seen you defend someone this quickly, well except for our members of course.โ€ dk sighed.
a week after this conversation the members decided to take matters into their own hands; they needed to figure out what kind of person you were, after all it was about their dear youngest memberโ€™s emotions, which they wanted to protect at all costs.
the duo of mingyu and scoups took on the responsibility of stalking you after schedules, which you of course didnโ€™t know about. you often stayed behind after schedules so they followed you to the practice room, and peeked in, watching you get to work with your debut songโ€™s choreo, while preparing for your first comebackโ€™s dances aswell. they watched as you fell, trying to learn one of the difficult moves over and over again, with not much success. ten minutes later there you were, on the floor, panting, silently sobbing. โ€œhow am i in this group in the first place? why canโ€™t i learn faster? the others depend on me, i need to get this right to help them!โ€ you mumbled to yourself, trying to collect some motivation to continue.
โ€œpoor little thing.โ€ scoups said, knowing how difficult it is for a leader to always be on top of the situation. โ€œi remember how hard we had to work even in our rookie days, this brings back memories.โ€ mingyu added. meanwhile you stood up and collected your belongings, ready to leave the room. โ€œoh wait y/n has already finished, letโ€™s go.โ€ mingyu whispered, dragging scoups with him so you wouldnโ€™t see them.
next time the members of seventeen got to see a bit more of you was at lunchtime in the cafeteria of HYBE, where you sat alone, laptop next to you. you were interacting with your fans on Weverse, which they learned was a frequent activity of yours; you wanted to communicate with them as much as you could, so even during lunch you couldnโ€™t miss commenting on posts and telling the fans to always eat and sleep well in cute little videos. after being done with your SNS duties, you continued work with writing lyrics for your already half-finished solo song which you hoped would be included on an album one day, also practicing for helping in future productions for your group.
โ€œwoah, y/n is still working even at lunch?โ€ joshua pointed in your direction from the other side, dk whom he was with snapping his head where you sat. โ€œwhere are the other group members though?โ€ dk questioned, confused. โ€œi just saw them leave as they were done for the day.โ€ joshua replied. โ€œso they really left y/n here alone? man, that is kind of sad.โ€ you finished your lunch and got up, leaving quickly. joshua and dk were curious about where you headed as anyone who was done with their day at work wouldโ€™ve definitely gone home. well, not you, you went to practice your vocals a bit in the vocal room, they could clearly hear your voice from the halllway. โ€œdamn, y/n has a great voice.โ€ joshua said, dk agreeing. โ€œand i didnโ€™t know they had a song like this!โ€ dk raised his brows, further listening to the lyrics. โ€œbecause they donโ€™t! i think y/n may have written this! so this must be what all that work earlier was about!โ€ joshua figured. it has to be said; they were pretty impressed by your passion and hard work, so much so that they were starting to feel guilty about questioning why chan had a crush on you.
โ€œhonestly, y/n is a pretty cool person, next time we shouldnโ€™t judge only depending on a first impression.โ€ scoups said when the members were together at a restaurant, at their monthly dinner meeting. โ€œsee? i told you, and i bet y/n is so much more kindhearted, we just havenโ€™t seen enough yet.โ€ chan replied, finally satisfied with his members liking you. to their surprise you entered the room with a mop in your hand, apron on your waist. when you saw them your face went pale for a moment, not knowing how to act with your seniors all at a table on the opposite side. seungkwan was the first to talk to you, saying hi and questioning why you were there dressed like a worker of the place. โ€œwell, actually this restaurant is my grandparentsโ€™ and on days i have time i always come by to help them, especially with cleaning so they donโ€™t have to do it after closing.โ€ you replied with a small smile. โ€œseriously? this is so considerate of you, on top of everything you still help them, you are so sweet!โ€ chan said as the others were too stunned to speak; never in their lives did they imagine you to be this responsible and humble. โ€œwell, i am trying my best to be helpful.โ€ you chuckled, which made chanโ€™s heart jump.
after finishing their meal the members were getting ready to leave when chan spoke up. โ€œi will stay a bit more, seeing if i can help y/n with anything here.โ€ this earned a knowing look from his members, patting him on the back as they left. you came outside only to find him standing in front of you. โ€œdo you need help with anything? i thought i might ask you know, it must be hard to handle this all by yourself.โ€ he grinned, to which you replied with a giggle. โ€œthank you, but i donโ€™t need any help. donโ€™t you have somethingto say to me though? perhaps another reason why you stayed behind?โ€ you grinned, waiting for him to realise that you knew; you saw how he looked at you many times when you two ran into each other at the company building. โ€œwas i that obvious? this is kind of embarrassing then, as you already know that i want to confess to you.โ€ he blushed. โ€œi was wondering why you never came up to me to be honest.โ€ he looked away. โ€œwell, you always looked like you didnโ€™t want anybody to speak to you, or like you could fall asleep every minute, so it wasnโ€™t quite easy to approach you.โ€ he said in a lower tone. โ€œam i really that scary to people around me? for real?โ€ your jaw was on the floor, not believing that the things people say about you always looking kind of unfriendly was true. โ€œyeahโ€ฆthe members thought you seemed too cold-looking fir a period of timeโ€ฆโ€ chan admitted, not daring to look into your eyes. โ€œbut
that has changed of course, they really admire you, just like i do.โ€ he quickly added. โ€œi am so sorry, i just look like that, i have many things to do so i donโ€™t get much sleep and i am always lost in thought, so that must explain the frown.โ€ you looked down, feeling bad that the members didnโ€™t like you, even to the point of needing to be convinced somehow. he moved closer to you. โ€œi donโ€™t mind it. i like you the way you are y/n. i think i have been having a crush on you since the first moment i saw you, frown or not, i like really like you, and i want to get to know you better in the future.โ€ he whispered, his eyes looking at your lips. โ€œwell i like you too, but are you gonna kiss me already or am i still that scary then?โ€ you mumbled. he didnโ€™t need anything else to give him a green light, kissing you quickly. after pulling apart he laughed. โ€œthen would you be mine?โ€ he asked. โ€œi am already yours, chan.โ€

Lover | Kim Mingyu
How You Two Met
Lover Series๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŒผ
Tumblr media
Pairing: Mingyu x Reader (ft. Joshua as a brother)
Genre: Fluff, angst, series
_________________________________________
"I introduce you, my lover."
Kim Mingyu was finally free from the relentless whirlwind of comeback schedules, grueling practice sessions, and the constant rush of variety show appearances that had dominated half of his life. A sense of liberation washed over him as he realized he had wrapped up all his commitments. His last engagement awaited him in the City of Lightsโ€”Paris, a prestigious fashion show before a well-deserved two-week hiatus. Months ago, he had offered this respite to his dedicated team, who had poured their effort into the company's projects and desperately needed a break.
Amusement danced in his manager's eyes as he watched Mingyu pack. He marveled at the enthusiasm Mingyu exhibited; he had never seen someone pack so excitedly. "You'll only be there for a week," his manager chuckled, observing Mingyu attempting to fit five different coats and an assortment of shoes into his luggage. Mingyu rolled his eyes playfully, retorting, "Hyung, a week means seven days," before detailing his planned Outfit of The Day agenda for his European vacation. "Carats will love my posts, won't they? Sharing my vacation fun." Mingyu's manager rolled his eyes in response. "They won't if they see how many bags you're bringing," he quipped, eyeing the three different suitcases. He left after getting Mingyu's coffee order, mentioning their departure in 20 minutes.
Europe had always held an allure for Mingyu, captivating him with its beauty and charm. His excitement surged when he realized his final professional engagement would be in Paris, the capital of France. He eagerly anticipated spending a few days there before venturing to Alsace, his dream destination, where he planned to embark on a solitary journey along the Alsace wine route. The prospect of traveling alone and checking off a wishlist item brought a broad smile to his face.
"What about me?" his manager asked when Mingyu shared his idea of traveling alone. Mingyu innocently responded, "Oh, I forgot." He helped his manager find the earliest flight from Paris to Seoul, advising him to go home and not be of any help, all while making a mental note to bring a tripod.
After his last schedule, Mingyu bid his manager farewell, knowing they might not meet again until he returned to Seoul. He planned to sleep until noon and enjoy his first meal on a rooftop with the Eiffel Tower in view. He intended to share it with Seungcheol, who had declined the invitation in favor of staying home for two weeks. When he woke up, it was already 1 pm. His manager had texted before his flight, and Mingyu replied with a simple "Text me when you land" before getting ready for his adventure.
*
"It's really beautiful," Mingyu remarked as he pointed his camera phone at the view. A sound of agreement from Joshua could be heard during their video call. Joshua had visited Paris for Chuseok Holiday the previous year. His envy had been stoked by the beautiful pictures Joshua had posted on Instagram. "Have you visited the cafรฉ I recommended?" Joshua asked. Mingyu shook his head, excitement evident in his voice as he replied, "I'll visit cafes and bakeries tomorrow. For today, I plan to have wine and a night walk," a smile creeping across his face as he spoke.
"Romanticizing life, Kim Mingyu?" Joshua teased, to which Mingyu nodded.
"It's good. Stay safe, though. Paris nights can be chaotic and wild," Joshua cautioned, piquing Mingyu's curiosity.
"But you partied until 3 am last year, and you were alone too," Mingyu pouted, referring to Joshua's advice. Joshua chuckled, revealing that he had been with his sister.
Mingyu was taken aback. "Wait, hyung, you don't have a sister," he interjected, only to be met with laughter from Joshua.
"Did I forget to mention? My mom treats her like a daughter, so she's like a sister to me," Joshua clarified. Mingyu nodded in understanding, appreciating the connection. Joshua offered her contact information for emergencies before they bid each other farewell.
Mingyu smiled, excited for his upcoming vacation.
*
"Excuse me," you were pulled from your laptop as a voice came from beside you. You turned to find a handsome Asian man asking about the availability of the chair across from you. You scanned the area and noticed all other tables were full. You offered a polite smile and nodded, granting him the seat.
Determined to focus on your work, you struggled to ignore the distraction before you. He was attractive, and his stylish outfit was a rare sight. You shook your head, determined to complete the article about a dress that had caught your eye during last night's fashion show. Your boss awaited its submission, but a hangover from Joelle's birthday celebration had left you struggling.
His order arrivedโ€”the man's almond croissant and hot chocolate. His satisfied smile as he admired his meal prompted you to glance his way. His phone emerged, and he embarked on a mini-photoshoot. His vibrant energy captivated you, and you found yourself staring.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you?" he asked, his English carrying a slight accent. Though your instinct was to deny any disturbance, you realized you had indeed been distracted by him.
An awkward laugh escaped you, and you offered, "Would you like me to take your picture?" He was momentarily surprised before agreeing, thanking you. After taking a few photos with your basic photography skills, you returned his phone. "Thank you," he said, prompting you to return to your work.
"Woah, it looks delicious," his mumbled comment in Korean reached your ears. Even in his native language, he was distracting.
"Are you Korean?" you asked, prompting an excited nod from him.
"Nice to meet you," he said, shaking your hand. He was glad to meet another Korean in the city. You explained that you used to live in Korea but weren't Korean.
You learned he was on vacation and traveling alone for the first time. He asked for recommendations for his last day in Paris, and you happily shared your hidden gem findings. You both chatted before he had to leave, your work complete.
After bidding goodbye, you parted ways, chuckling at the fact that you hadn't even exchanged names.

Gathering Side Story: Bonehoard Dracosaur
Tumblr media
Authors note: I'm sorry @okaylikesmomo I'm using your muse for a little bit, but I promise I'll take good care of her. This is probably my most out-there piece and takes my best and (worst traits) as a writer to their logical extremes which works for this specific project so enjoy.
I got a call from Kkura before the mixer. She asked my status on helping with the mixer and I explained to her that Astrid and Emma were โ€œgoing through a rough patch.โ€ so my status was not currently on priority.
โ€œUgh ever since she started dating her she's been so annoying.โ€ Sakura Groaned. There was a gap after
โ€œUh, Kkura Did you need anything else?โ€
I waited for a moment then heard โ€œYeah can you babysit Chaewon for a couple of days?โ€
I pause and think to myself how to respond to this. What would be โ€œtactfulโ€ and what would be โ€œappropriateโ€ but ultimately I kept being hung up around the fact that Chaewon was a grown woman. Then I realized maybe I heard wrong,
โ€œDid you mean Eunchae?โ€ I asked patiently
โ€œNo I meant Chaewon.โ€ sakura said matter of factly
โ€œKkura Chaewon is a grown-ass woman,โ€ I responded
โ€œYes, and you've seen her she so. What does Jen say? Baby codedโ€ Sakura responded
โ€œKkura I am going to ask this onceโ€ฆwhy?โ€ I said
โ€œChaewon will be lonely because we all have schedules and I don't want her alone at the dorm. Don't worry weโ€™ll make you look like staff if privacy is an issue.โ€ Sakura answered
โ€œThat's not theโ€ฆ you know what fine. I'll do it but you owe me.โ€ I responded
โ€œI know. See you tomorrow?โ€ sakura said pleasantly. I could almost hear her smug smirk.
The next day was arduous and prolix at work so when I arrived at the fimmies dorm I was drained. When I had finished I made the journey to the Le Sserafim dorm. I arrived at half past noon there time and knocked on the door.
I heard a cute whine of โ€œWho is it?โ€ Before responding โ€œThe pizza guy.โ€ The door opened and Chaewon smiled (probably because I brought pizza) and let me in. After I set the food down on the dorm counter Chae held me tight for a solid 5 minutes. Then after breaking the hug smiled and stared at me with those big soft brown eyes, and said โ€œI missed you Sho.โ€
โ€œOh, using my middle name are we? I should have never told you that.โ€ I teased.
Chaeโ€™s eyes light up with competitive energy. โ€œItโ€™s only us here.โ€ She fired back.
I relented and said, โ€œfair.โ€ Chaeโ€™s eyes softened and my heart fluttered with the look she gave as she held me tight.
โ€œI missed you Sho. Why did it take you so long to visit?โ€ Chae asked, and I gave her an honest answer
โ€œI wasnโ€™t invited and I didnโ€™t want things to be awkward between Sakura and I. So I waited for her to reach out.โ€
Chaewon didnโ€™t like that answer and said, โ€œWhy didnโ€™t you ask me what I wanted? We could have hung out like old times!โ€ Her fiery tiger was coming out and if I wasnโ€™t careful she was going to shift on me right here and now.
โ€œListen palm top tiger if you wanted to hang out you could have called me instead of avoiding me.โ€ Chaewonโ€™s fury didnโ€™t extinguish but was greatly diminished by my statement. Chae scoffed before saying
โ€œYouโ€™re lucky youโ€™re so kind.โ€ As she walked away my mind was consumed and confused by that emotional moment. Does Chaewon like me??
Nah thereโ€™s no way. I thought to myself as I took my seat next to her. She opens the first pizza box and then turns to me surprised. She happily grabs a slice and takes a bite. Her eyes widened as she said โ€œMmm so goodโ€ before taking another bite
As we eat I ask her about her upcoming comeback. Chaeโ€™s eyes light up
โ€œItโ€™s good Iโ€™m so glad Fimmes are excited and enjoying the trailers. Also (Chae looks around) donโ€™t tell anyone this but weโ€™re planning a world tour.โ€œ
I squinted at Chae then said โ€œIโ€ฆuh who would I tell. Yโ€™all are pretty much my only friends who would care.โ€ Chaewon laughs and then looks at me with sad eyes.
โ€œHey, you do film stuff right like Screenwriting maybe my mom could help you get a job out here,โ€ Chae says in a tone that was unfamiliar to me coming from her.
โ€œOkay, Chae if you think it will help I will do it your way.โ€ Chaeโ€™s eyes widen in such fervor that she says
โ€œOkay let's visit my mom after we finish eating!โ€ she exclaims
โ€œWow, there tiger don't you think this is a lot to spring on your mom in one go?โ€
โ€œNo!โ€ Chaewon said flatly. I laughed as she leaned into me as she ate. After she finished her slice she began to sniff me, I turned to her and her eyes flashed red.
โ€œYou smell wonderful I bet you taste good too. She said before licking my neck seductively.
*I forgot that Chaewon is a weretiger and that this weekend was a blood moon. So Chae might not be fully composed for the next few days.*
She used her surprising strength and pinned me to one of her dorm walls. Her grin was cute but her energy was ferocious. โ€œYou taste so sweet.โ€ she cooed her eyes blood red. She opens her mouth after saying โ€œI want you in my pack.โ€ she bares her fangs as she starts to partially shift. I'm paralyzed by her pheromones, but I know I can't let her turn me because I have no self-control so I try to get her back in control.
โ€œChae, Chae boundaries,โ€ I say as she nears closer and closer. Before her eyes went back to their normal yellow tiger eyes then to the soft brown. Her eyes stare into mine as she slowly recollects herself.
โ€œSo what's going on?โ€ she asked a bit disoriented.
โ€œOh nothing you just told me you had a crush on me.โ€ I teased.
Chae rolled her eyes and said, โ€œPlease you? I'd never, but since you're already close.โ€ as she finished her retort she hugged me again. After that she had me go with her to visit her mom. It was a cold winter day so we both bundled up. Chae as always looked adorable and I got that weird feeling in my heart again. Thankfully for me, the trip to her momโ€™s house was quick so we weren't in the cold too much. When we arrived her mom was surprised to see me (obviously I'm a random black dude) and joyful to see her daughter.
โ€œMom!โ€ Chaewon exclaims happily as I follow her in.
โ€œHey Chae Chae,โ€ Chaewonโ€™s mother said. Chaewonโ€™s mother was smiling brightly till she saw me her smile dimmed slightly. โ€œWho is this?โ€ her mother asked
โ€œOh this is Percival Showa Carmichael, but I call him Sho. He's my friend who I'm hanging out with this weekend.โ€
โ€œUm, Chae this weekend is the order Eldersโ€™ assembly. You can't โ€œhang outโ€ this weekend.โ€ Chaewonโ€™s mother said. Chaewonโ€™s eyes narrowed then she had to excuse herself as she needed to take a call. Leaving me alone with her mom. When Chaewon leaves her momโ€™s eyes narrow and she stares at me with furious eyes.
โ€œWhy are you here?โ€ she asks coldly. It would have been intimidating if she wasn't tiny like Chae
โ€œAs a favor to Sakura mostly but also because I like Chaewonโ€™s company.โ€
Ran-hee (chaewonโ€™s mom) eyed me maliciously, โ€œReally you're not here looking for a job or any other benefit.โ€
โ€œPersonally no, but your daughter wants me to stay but your daughter came here to ask, and with their being a blood moon. I figured it's best to not give her any issues this weekend. I'm not saying no to anything from her. Going to feed her at regular intervals and make sure she is taken care of this weekend so I'll make it out alive.โ€
Ran-heeโ€™s eyes flared red as she stared at me, โ€œYou know of our condition.โ€ I nod which enraged Ran-hee more somehow. โ€œWhat's in it for you?โ€
โ€œHonestly I don't know. I get another favor from Sakura but to be honest I have like 5 of those already and have no idea how to cash in on them.โ€
Ran-hee looked at me confused then asked, โ€œSo you have favors from Sakura, but come to me for help on your account.โ€
I blinked several times and then said โ€œholy cow you're right. I had been so focused on being a good friend to the Fimmies that I never considered myself in their lives. Especially since Sakura got Connor and Dexter all those Fearless Kkura episodes.โ€
Ran-hee laughed hearing me go through my thought process before saying, โ€œI see why my daughter talks so highly of you.โ€ now it's my turn to look at her confused
โ€œShe's met me 5 times before thoughโ€
โ€œYes, and it was enough to make an impression. She says you're aggressively kind-hearted and an exceptional friend. You are absent-minded though.โ€ Ran-hee proclaims
โ€œOh yeah, I get that a lot.โ€ I respond โ€œI am a little tired but thank you for the kind words though.โ€
Ran-hee nods then her tone shifts, โ€œSince you know about my familyโ€™s condition I will warn you. She will expect you to go with her to the Eldersโ€™ assembly this weekend, and you best watch your back. The other packs may not take as kindly as my daughterโ€™s hand is highly prized.โ€ I nod at her warning. Then I realized the implication.
โ€œOh uh, Chae and I aren't uh.โ€ I stammered. Ran-Hee laughed at my discomfort like a big catch watching its prey squirm before going in for the kill
โ€œYou know you are the first male friend my daughter has brought home singularly,โ€ Ran-hee explained โ€œso she must be comfortable with you. I'm curious what you think about my daughter.โ€ realizing I had been pinned by a woman in Chaewonโ€™s family for the second time today. I stayed silent in hopes of avoiding saying something silly but Chaewon's momโ€™s gaze was unrelenting. Thankfully as I was about to break Chae walked in.
โ€œOh, Chae your friend Sho was just telling me how he'd be happy to go with you to the Eldersโ€™ assembly.โ€ Chaeโ€™s eyes grow bigger than I've ever seen and hugs me.
โ€œThank you,โ€ Chae repeats while hugging me.
I see Chaeโ€™s mom shoot me a teasing smile before she mouths โ€œGood luckโ€ I loosen up in Chaewonโ€™s grip. She in return hugs me tighter.
โ€œSo Chae what caused your visit?โ€
โ€œOh, Chae Chae you mentioned you had something to ask me before you left what was it,โ€ Ran-hee said as I rolled my eyes.
โ€œOh, I was wondering if you knew anyone looking for a cameraman because Sho is looking so he can stay in Korea.โ€ the two ladies began speaking in Korean faster than I could understand so I just stood there as Chaewonโ€™s sapient teddy bear listening to the sounds of their voices. After Chae and I left back to her dorm. When we arrive she changes back into a crop top and sweatpants, I sit on the couch while she does this. When she finishes she walks back into the dorm living room. Her eyes are lidded as she approaches. Her pheromones are overwhelming as she sits next to me.
โ€œHey Chae is everything alright I ask.โ€
Chae smiles, โ€œYou're so sweet caring so much for me.โ€ as she speaks her eyes flicker between a vibrant gold and a vibrant red. โ€œYou've been so supportive,โ€ Chae adds as she begins to cling to my body as she does she looks up at my eyes.
โ€œHey Sho what happened to your eye,โ€ Chae asked. She was the first to ask about it since it happened.
โ€œUm remember that military sans frontier liberates situation a few years ago.โ€?โ€
โ€œYeah, some mercenaries took over California and turned it into a militant war state, but were defeated by a group of guerilla fighters whoโ€ฆ.oh my God you were a Guerilla fighter!โ€ Chaewon concluded.
โ€œKind of.โ€ I responded Chae scowled, โ€œWhat do you mean kind of?โ€
โ€œWell, I found the Phi Codex Nanite and pushed both Militias out of My home.
โ€œWait so you're not a nexo?โ€Chaewon asked
โ€œNopeโ€ฆ I lie because no one believes me when I tell them the truth.โ€ I explained
โ€œBut I believe you,โ€ Chaewon said nestling closer
โ€œWell you're the first,โ€ I answered
Chaewon stopped getting closer when our heads touched. She smelled sweet like fruit. Her eyes locked with mine.
โ€œWell, why would you lie? About that.โ€ Chae asked. I nodded at Chae who smiled at me. Her eyes were bright red. She moved in closer. Any closer and we'd be kissing.
โ€œChae you're close,โ€ I said
โ€œI know but you're not telling me to move.โ€ Chae chides
โ€œChae. Iโ€ฆโ€ I stammered
โ€œCan you stop thinking for a moment and just feel? I know you โ€œturned your heart off but tell me what do you feel right now?โ€ Chaewon said. Her pheromones overwhelmed me and I kissed her all my rational thoughts were gone. Chaewon returned the kiss with even more fervor. Her fire was only rising as she intensified the kiss. When she broke it a trail of saliva connected us. Chaewon licked her lips before saying โ€œYou're mine now.โ€ she said with lidded crimson eyes and then her eyes went back to normal well the regular gold then brown, but her pheromones still bathed the entire room so I was panting as she broke from the kiss.
โ€œOh, Sho what's going on your breathing is so heavy. Still not fully recovered I kissed Chaewon again. She yelped in surprise this time before pushing me off.
โ€œYou what the heck dude, you can't just kiss me like that,โ€ Chaewon yelled. As her pheromones dissipated I responded
โ€œChae you have been blasting me with mating pheromones for the past few hours.โ€
Chae rolled her eyes until she sniffed the air and then said โ€œOh god is that why it smells likeโ€ฆoh that's me.โ€ she said as realization hit her. She looked at me ashamed. โ€œI am so sorry I have been having โ€œepisodesโ€
โ€œOf you blacking out and waking up moments later.โ€ I finished
โ€œWait how did you know,โ€ she asked
โ€œChae you're a true alpha,โ€ I say
โ€œNo that's just a myth. I'm just a new omega variantโ€ she said meekly
โ€œNo Chae. You are a true alpha.โ€ I explain
โ€œBut then why do I have all the pheromones and abilities of othersโ€ฆโ€Chae started
I stopped her before she could get going then interjected โ€œChae I know it may seem far-fetched but can I ask that you trust me on this.โ€
โ€œOkay fine. So what do we do now?โ€ Chae asked
โ€œWell, what do you want to do?โ€ I asked Chae
โ€œCan you keep it a secret during the assembly?โ€ I nod but something is bothering me about our dynamic
โ€œHey, Chae do you have romantic feelings for me?โ€
โ€œWhat no why would you think that we are friends,โ€ Chae said stammering
โ€œChaeโ€ I repeated
Chaewon looked at me with misty-eyed tears beginning to well within her big brown eyes which made me feel guilty, โ€œNo I don't besides how can I feel any kind of way when you had feelings for Kkura, plus you're never around anymore.โ€
โ€œChaewon!โ€ I exclaimed firmly which caused her to yelp and then break down into tears.
โ€œWhy did you have to have a crush on Sakura? why wasn't I good enough? Why did you leave me?โ€ Chaewon pestered me with questions as the tears began flowing. She also began hitting me but they weren't hard. I wrap my arms around Chaewon. I hold her tight as she sobs. Something about this felt familiar, but I couldn't place it.
I look down into her big brown eyes. I hold her face softly then kiss her again. This one is certainly less aggressive the the pheromone-fueled one earlier and hopefully established how I felt about her. When our eyes opened and we broke this kiss she looked at me startled and then she regained composure.
โ€œWhat's wrong?โ€ I asked
โ€œNothing thought I saw something but probably just a trick of the light,โ€ Chaewon answered putting me at ease.
I nodded and then asked her if she still wanted to date so there was no confusion about how I felt or where I stood whatsoever. Chae smiles and then nods quickly. I smile back we stand there awkwardly in this hug trying to figure out what to do next for a few minutes as I didn't expect this to happen. Eventually, we just sat down and cuddled. I know Skinship was a huge thing for Chaewon and Sakura so I let her indulge to the fullest. Thankfully she wasn't pheromone blasting me so nothing escalated
โ€œHey, whatever happened between you and Ahin? You went to that party with her, and we heard nothing else.
โ€œOh right, I forgot to tell y'all. She was dating the CEO of the company she models for.โ€ I explained and Chaewon nodded โ€œShe just wanted to let her friend Kim Lip have a +1 for the party.โ€ I added
Chaewon gave me a confused lookโ€œSo what happened between you and her ?โ€
โ€œLiterally nothing. I tried to make sure she had a good time but the language barrier was a bit of an issue.โ€ I answered along with a shrug.
โ€œYeah, you're Korean needs work.โ€ Chaewon said smiling, โ€œBut it's okay though. I'll help you learn it in no time.โ€ Chaewon smiled
A little while later we both fell asleep together on her dormโ€™s couch I woke up to a sudden gasp by Chae
โ€œWe should build a pair of two-headed giant commander decks,โ€ she said,
I squinted โ€œChae that's the nerdiest and dorkiest thing you've ever said. Of course, let's do it.โ€I said as I watched Chaeโ€™s face turn from sad and defeated to jubilant and joyful.
โ€œOkay let's start with themes. Do you have any ideas that aren't in the color combinations of Naya, Esper, Jund, Sultai, Jeskai, Mardu, and Abzan Grixis?โ€
โ€œSo you want complimentary Bant and Temur decks?โ€
โ€œYes.โ€
โ€œWell, there are limited themes I could come up with; creature combo, creature feature, and Voltron maybe are what comes to mind. What did you have in mind, any commander preference?โ€ I ask Chae
โ€œWhat's Creature feature?โ€ Chae asked confused.
โ€œCreature feature is a deck centered around mainly one Creature type or subtype that is structured around the synergies of said creatures. Originally it was called โ€œtribalโ€ but that was deemed an obsolete term so they call it something else I'm just going to call it creature feature as that's easier to explain than having to go over the discussion which is the popular term now. โ€
โ€œOkay but how did you come up with the name โ€œcreature featureโ€โ€ Chaewon asked curiously
โ€œWell, love (Chaewon rolled her eyes at that sarcastically) around the 1950s or so there were these films in the US that were typically horror films centered around one Creature. These films were usually feature length so the Genre became known as Creature Features. I think it gets the principle across and rolls off the tongue a lot better than Typal Kindred or whatever the new term is.โ€ I said
โ€œCreature Feature. I like itโ€ Chaewon said Smiling. I gave her a thumbs up and Chae lit up excitedly and then said, โ€œYeah let's do that.โ€ I nod then get to work. I start building a dinosaur deck which Chae laughs at.
โ€œSo now weโ€™ll have two dinosaur decks in the mix.โ€
โ€œLet me guess Dexter is running the other?โ€
โ€œYou got it,โ€ Chaewon said with a smile as we spent the rest of the day testing and adjusting to make sure our decks were a well-oiled machine together. She built Rigo Streetwise Mentor, and I built Owen and Blue. Surprisingly the decks worked well together. Mostly the support pieces but turns out my putting in last March of the ents and Ghalta stampede tyrant was also a big boon to her. Her big walls gave me the resources needed to have some truly explosive turns. She also loved my flicker shenanigans which helped her consistently push ahead since a bunch of jet creatures had impressive etbs. In the end, Chaewon smiled and then said, โ€œWoo finally done.โ€ I nodded and went back to the pizza that was still there
โ€œMm mashta,โ€ Chaewon said as we finished the rest of the food and snacks. As we finished Chae got up and beckoned for me to follow. She pulled me into a comfortable hug (even though I was taller) and she said, โ€œYou know tomorrow you're going to have to fight in our rituals right?โ€ I nod. Chae looks up at me and then says. I know it will be difficult but can you try not to hurt anyone?โ€ I nodded and Chaewon smiled. After that, we got ready for the night. Chaewon insisted I sleep in her bed with her but also on โ€œno funny business.โ€
โ€œWell then don't Pheromone bomb me and we won't have issues.โ€ I teased. Chaewon hit me lightly and said, โ€œYeah no teasing.โ€ I nod and spoon her to sleep. I dream I was a dinosaur being chased by a large pale bear, and when the bear caught me it said
โ€œYou need to rememberโ€ but before I could do anything else I woke up to Chaewon ruffling up my hair.
โ€œYou ready?โ€ she asked with a vibrant smile. I nod. As we got ready the other Fimmies entered the room. All but Kazuha were surprised to see me. Kazuha was the first. She walked in and said our greetings before she left. She asked me to keep Chaewon on time which I was more than happy to do. Next was Eunchae who needed eyeliner from Chaewonโ€™s room. I handed it to her which caused her to yelp in surprise.
โ€œCivy Oppa,โ€ Eunchae said perplexed. I gave a silent wave. Which caused her to smile Mischeviously
โ€œUnnie did you and Oppaโ€ฆโ€ Eunchae asked before trailing off. She didnโ€™t say anything but the implication was there.
โ€œYah Manchae!โ€ Chaewon yelled which caused the other Fimmies who hadnโ€™t already been in the dorm to enter.
โ€œOppa?โ€ Yunjin said as she came in. Sakura was the last to come in she saw me and then said โ€œWhat?โ€ After that Chaewon had me get in the shower while she explained everything to her members afterwards Sakura and Yunjin cornered me before leaving
โ€œOppa why did you kiss Chaewon yesterday?โ€ Sakura asked
โ€œThe first time or the second time or the third time?โ€ I asked.
โ€œThe first time duh,โ€ Yunjin asked
โ€œBecause Chae has no control over her pheromones and she had to blast me with them throughout the day, but if youโ€™re worried about that being the only reason itโ€™s not. She asked me why I didnโ€™t choose her when I first met you all. So I asked if she even still wanted to date me. She said yes. So I chose her.โ€
โ€œPercival!โ€ Sakura exclaimed. I knew it was serious because she made the effort to say my first name. โ€œYou canโ€™t just go playing with her heart like that.โ€
โ€œWhat?โ€
โ€œYou canโ€™t be this dumb with how smart you are. you canโ€™t use your Chae to get to me.โ€ Sakura said. I was taken aback by that response so me having a response to that was not easy.
โ€œI uh what?โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t try to deny it you havenโ€™t reached out in almost 8 months and you magically want to date Chaewon now?โ€
โ€œUm, Sakura what was the last message I texted you?โ€ I asked
โ€œThat you needed time and space to work on yourself,โ€ Sakura answered
I groaned and reached to my phone to see if I still had the messages. I did and handed my phone to Sakura
โ€œDear Kkura Iโ€™m good letโ€™s hang out again sent October 27โ€
Yunjin looked at me and then at Sakura. โ€œUm, Unnie why didnโ€™t you tell us this?โ€ She said confused
โ€œI never got this message,โ€ Sakura said confused
โ€œWell, I hope Iโ€™m in the clear because we built matching decks for two-headed dragon. Iโ€™m committed to Chaewon now.โ€ I replied to which Yunjin laughed and replied
โ€œThatโ€™s so cute.โ€ I gave Yunjin the thumbs up as she smiled. Chaewon eventually finds me and asks what we are talking about.
I grab her tight in a hug before saying, โ€œOh just telling them about our new decks.โ€ Chaewon pouted before hitting me.
โ€œBabe itโ€™s supposed to be a secret.โ€ She whined. I smiled
โ€œLook honey it will be fine they donโ€™t know anything else except that we built new decks.โ€
โ€œOkay but no more saying anything else. Got it?โ€
โ€œOf course love.โ€
With that weird situation over we left the dorm to meet up with Dexter and Connor. After that, we all arrived at the assembly location. It was a place on Jeju Island that was separate from public access so it would be quiet. Hopefully.
I open the door to the assembly for my friends which draws a lot of looks from them.
โ€œThat door can only be opened via the aura of a were person. how did you do that?โ€ Dexter asked.
I shrugged and gestured for everyone to get inside.
As we walk in I see some familiar faces. Well familiar in that I've seen them on a screen it's all of Izone. I watch as both Chae and Sakura squeal before running to their friends. I smile until I hear an oddly familiar voice say โ€œShowa?โ€
I turn to see Donna and several memories (many of them painful) flood back into my skull
โ€œYou did this to me!โ€ I yell as my blood starts to boil and I take a step toward her. flames begin to burn holes in my clothes
โ€œTurned me then left me to die,โ€ I yelled as I took another step. The left side of my face began to bubble pop as my skin began melting off.
โ€œThey made me a monster hybridizing me with everything they could find.โ€ another step as my bone extended outside of my regular skin and was replaced with new molten flesh.
โ€œThat wasn't even the worst part. they made me hunt others and kill and kill and kill.โ€ my voice trailed off as my skin melted off in molten sludge and then the rest of my human body exploded like a volcano leaving my Dinosaur Dragon form
โ€œLook at what they made me. Look at what you made me!โ€ I growled as the air burned around me. Donna looked at me in terror. Before I could move 7 elders came in front of me
โ€œHalt!โ€ one demanded
โ€œWhat pack are you with? Who is your alpha?โ€ another asked. I chuckled and turned my head a full 108 down
โ€œMy Alpha is right there,โ€ I said pointing to Donna however before I could announce that I didn't have a pack another familiar voice said,
โ€œStand down he's with me.โ€ every turn around anotherโ€ Donna approached. I knew this Donna as my boss Voruna.
the elders stood down and one of them said to Voruna, โ€œYou'd better keep your beta on a short leash.โ€
Voruna turned to the Elder and pointed to me, โ€œYou see his eyes. Do those look like the eyes of a beta to you?โ€ she said coldly. โ€œDon't forget your place I am still a primarch,โ€ Voruna says. She then turns to me and chuckles. โ€œI'm surprised to see you here Caliban, but it's good that you're here I need your help. So shift back.โ€ Voruna says swiftly. My anger dissipates into the emotional equivalent of a groan. I shift back and turn back to my friends who were looking at me shocked, โ€œSorry guys duty calls.โ€ I say as I follow her. Chaewon however wasn't pleased with that answer and ran to me.
โ€œWait Sho (rats she called me that in public) what just happened there?โ€ She said standing in between Corina and I
โ€œChae it's a very long story.โ€
โ€œThen shorten it,โ€ Chaewon said unmoving her eyes went red and her pheromones began to flow. These weren't mating ones, however, but submission ones.
โ€œChae I.โ€ I stammered as the Alpha in me was beginning to come out again at being challenged by a โ€œlesser one, but my heart wanted to talk to her.
โ€œSorry Mrs Kim I need your boyfriend for a moment I promise I'll give him back to you, and I am in a bit of a hurry.โ€
Chaewon stood firm, a glimpse of her back to her Izone days as one of the tough-as-nails makes.
โ€œOh not intimidated? I like it. Okay, I'll throw you a proverbial bone. My sister Donna turned you boyfriend because he would become an ancient. However, before she could welcome him to the circle The Machinist found him. They had him do some very bad things without his consent, but thankfully it was to some very bad people. However, having an ancient unaccounted for was still a mess. A mess my sister made of course but being the kind older sister I am I found him and cleaned him up. Now I need to properly โ€œpack himโ€ As you can see he is an Alpha with no pack.โ€ Chaewonโ€™s eyes widened but she relented on the condition she could come with. Which led to everyone following. Voruna groaned but let everyone follow. Eventually, we came to an Alpha-only meeting. So everyone who wasn't an alpha had to hang back due to the โ€œcharmโ€ on the outside. So needless to say Chae got a few stares when she galavanted in with me.
I get stares on the back end when we enter the meeting. I see Karina talking to a guy I don't recognize but they seem friendly. They approach Chae and I (Voruna left to ameliorate some other issues )
โ€œHi, Daewon. Hi Karina.โ€ Chaewon says as they walk over
โ€œChae?โ€ Karina says surprised Chaewon nods proudly
The two of them start speaking Korean faster than I can keep up. Daewon approaches me skeptically and says โ€œSo you Vorunaโ€™s newest clean-up project.โ€ I shrug.
โ€œYou're pretty nonchalant for someone who almost everyone is going to be gunning for. I mean going after Chaewon whose alpha abilities despite being an omega make her highly sought after and being Vorunaโ€™s lapdog. Everyone is going to be itching to face you in the rituals.โ€ Daewon says
I yawned disinterested and said, โ€œLook boss I know you mean well but I'd just like to put some things into perspective. 1.) Okay so everyone gunning for me, as far as I can tell I'm the only ancient. 2.) I am used to fighting apexes no one else here has probably even seen one. 3.) I've been fighting alone for so long against impossible odds what's another set of emโ€ Dawson smiled then said,
โ€œI like you I hope you win. We need more revolutionary Alphas.โ€ taken aback not expecting to agree with Daewon goes back to Karina when she says,
โ€œOh honey the meetings are about to start.โ€ as the two of them walk away I point to Karina and Daewon
โ€œFianceeโ€ she mouths. I nod in understanding. The meeting starts and I can feel all of the hostile eyes on me. I felt isolated Alone like when I was taken by the machinists. I was merely an object of malignant interest to these people. As my rage began to swell I felt a hand forcibly open mine and grip it. I look over to see Chaewon biting her nails nervously. She looked to me for security so I had to push my rage down and offer encouragement. I caressed her hand and Chaewonโ€™s distressed frown became a hopeful smile.
โ€œFirst order of business. We have a new Alpha to introduce today.โ€ Voruna says. Which causes me to snap my attention to the center of the hall.
โ€œCaliban why don't you introduce yourself to the council of Elders?โ€
I nod and say, โ€œHello My name is Percival Showa Anderson. I'm from Californiaโ€ฆโ€ before I could say anything else a fist slammed on the table from one of the elders
โ€œWhy are we acknowledging this monster.โ€ the elder said. I tried to hide my smirk. I reveled in being called that because if I was feared as a monster they'd be less courageous in facing me, and cowards often roamed in packs.
โ€œAsk Donna she turned me,โ€ I reply all eyes turn to the Daylight Primarch.
โ€œWhy Donna?โ€ the same elder who's challenged me twice before asked.
โ€œBecause I saw he was going to be an ancient and we needed the power. I never expected that any of what happened would.โ€ I look into the eyes of the daylight primarch and surprisingly see remorse and sadness. I swallowed hard as maybe I was too harsh on her earlier. I softened the menacing aura I brought into this and eased my mind. Leaning into Chaewon I smile at her and she does the same back. I can tell she's worried
โ€œDon't worry it will be fine,โ€ I say.

The last chapter was pure gold!!!
I love how Alastor just ignores Vox existence, or at least he tries lol
And I got the feeling Al mistunderatood the โ€œWhat the hell does Lucifer have that I donโ€™t!?โ€ With โ€˜what does the hotel have that they donโ€™tโ€™, which itโ€™s not any better agahah Vox is so delusional
Itโ€™s such a shame he didnโ€™t say that in front of the other overlords, it would have been such a good laugh and maybe the end of the vees?!
Also I love how u write Alastor, beside his pain he hasnโ€™t stop smiling even a second, and letโ€™s be honest his was such a comeback. He definitely knows how to entertain, also I got the feeling that when he attacked velvette he was trying to repay Carmille a little, cause she tried to protect his privacy more than one time during the meeting and yeah Al, Charlie is definitely rubbing off on you.
โ€œWell, these meetings sure are getting shorter and shorter,โ€ Totally sent me rolling laughing. He is so right tho
I wonder how Luci is gonna take this plan of his, cause I donโ€™t think he will accept it with open arms. And I honestly donโ€™t know if Al has something to offer the king of hell to make such a deal โ€ฆbut itโ€™s undeniable that he has a soft denial spot for Al, so who know he might actually go with it๐Ÿ‘€
I just have a question, are they gonna get together in the end? Or is it just gonna be a long slow burn. Either way I am enjoying this a lot. Canโ€™t wait for more
Hahaha, Alastor was trying SO hard to ignore the petty little TV man. He wants to talk about Charlie's hotel and go home, please and thank you.
And LOL yeah I'm glad you picked up on that. Alastor still thinks Vox is referencing working together, not the insinuation that Vox wants something more between them. To Alastor, it sounds like Vox is trying to imply that he can do "so much better" with his alliances; whereas Vox thinks Alastor knows--a least a LITTLE--about Vox's crush, but is playing it off like its nothing, which makes him even more furious.
Hahah I was so excited to write his clapback to the Vee's. He knew that if they showed up, they were going to bring up the fight with Adam, and he needed to be prepared. People start beef with him, but you better damn well believe he'll end it. Carmilla definitely enjoyed the clapback too. For a sinner she certainly has the patience of a saint.
But I also don't think she actually respects the Vee's. They're just entitled, spoiled little children in her eyes. They're a group she doesn't feel the need to expend her energy on, because, well, what's the point? She doesn't have a high enough opinion of them to do so.
Alastor and Lucifer's conversation in the next chapter was very fun to write. These two can't be left unsupervised because it's just going to end in a fistfight. They're constantly ready to throw hands and I love it.
I am writing this with the end goal being them getting together! It will be a slow-burn though ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm really gonna go into Alastor exploring his ace/aro'ness, what being in a relationship means for him. and what he wants out of a relationship. On the flipside, I'm gonna explore Lucifer's thoughts and feelings about slowly falling for a sinner (who HAS done terrible things) and what he thinks that says about himself--he has had a very negative view about sinners for thousands and thousands of years, and a mindset like that isn't going to change overnight.
So, they're both definitely going to be exploring different parts about themselves that this relationship forces them to address. And I'm very excited to get into it!
I think the tag "Lucifer Fell First But Alastor Fell Harder" is going to be very apt for this fic series.

Chaeri as the 8th and youngest member of BTS.
Chaeri's Masterlist
Web article
Tumblr media
June, 2023
The K-pop community is abuzz with questions and speculations as Chaeri, the only female member of BTS, and the leader of Ateez, Hongjoong, have not been seen together for quite some time. Adding to the intrigue, recent reports suggest that Chaeri's contract as Ateez's choreographer with KQ Entertainment has come to an end.
Fans are left wondering about the reasons behind Chaeri's departure from her role as the mastermind behind Ateez's captivating dance routines. While she proved her talent and left an indelible mark on the group's performances, the sudden silence surrounding her professional life is leaving many perplexed.

๐Ÿ’ญ The total lack of updates about Chaeri and Hongjoong is seriously, like, causing me to lose it! Seriously, somebody, anyone, pretty please, shower us with some news about our nation's couple ๐Ÿฅน
๐Ÿ’ญ I am totally convinced that they're taking a break from the spotlight to have some super sweet quality time together, just the two of them! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’• Ahh, my fangirl heart is bursting with happiness at the thought! ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ’– I'm beyond excited for their comeback, 'cause I know they'll be back stronger and happier ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ช Let's all send them all the love and support they deserve
๐Ÿ’ญ I can't even deal with the fact that Chaeri won't be Ateez's choreographer anymore โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน
๐Ÿ’ญ I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Chaeri and Hongjoong to surprise us with some good news soon! They've been through so much together
๐Ÿ’ญ It's strange not seeing them together lately. I hope they're both doing well and that their relationship is as strong as ever!
๐Ÿ’ญ I hope Chaeri's decision to leave the choreographer role was her own choice and not due to any conflicts with Hongjoong
๐Ÿ’ญ I hope the media will give them space and not speculate too much about their relationship. They deserve to have their privacy respected
๐Ÿ’ญ Honestly, I think Chaeri and Hongjoong would be better off without each other. They don't seem to fit together, and it's time they moved on
๐Ÿ’ญ I can't wait for them to break up. Maybe then we can stop hearing about their relationship and focus on the music

๐Ÿ’ญ Hongjoong's response has me even more anxious. I hope everything's alright with Chaeri
๐Ÿ’ญ Those who are fans of Hongjoong know that that smile on his face is a facade. HE WAS REALLY NERVOUS
๐Ÿ’ญ Maybe it's just a private matter they don't want to share with the public. Let's trust they'll handle it together
๐Ÿ’ญ Stop saying he was upset because they broke up, the reporter was clearly invading his personal space and assuming false information, Hongjoong did wisely to ignore him
๐Ÿ’ญ I won't believe they broke up even if they release an official statement. they are THE match
๐Ÿ’ญ I hope they're taking care of each other. It must be hard for them to deal with rumors and speculation
๐Ÿ’ญ I hope Chaeri finally realized that she deserves better ๐Ÿคก
๐Ÿ’ญ We should remember they're not obligated to share every aspect of their lives with us

If you don't mind, could I request Hobie with a musician s/o who is super sweet any time they're NOT on stage or performing, but then they get on stage and just fit so well into their stage personality of being absolutely borderline clinically insane? So much so that you can't really even call it a character they're putting on, it's just second nature to them.
[https://youtu.be/NauWxATQisQ?si=k5rGhK-RZ3BwkT9c // adding this to maybe give a more in depth idea of the unhinged act that I can't really put into words right- like the kind of personality of someone you'd want to put under a microscope and inspect, for lack of better wording]
ok so i gotta admit i had a little trouble with this one since the only musical background i have is being a violinist ๐Ÿ˜ญ, but i watched the video and i (think) have finally got it LMAO
โ€œlight switchโ€
pairings: hobie brown x gn!musician!reader
warnings: sfw, cursing, nothing else i think..
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
โ€œcanโ€™t you wait a while longer?โ€ hobie asked, being his usual stubborn self.
you huffed. you were currently supposed to already be on stage, as there was a hopeful audience waiting for you behind the other side of the curtain.
hobies hands were on your hips, eager to have some more time with you. you loved your boyfriend, but your musical career was more important than a make-out session.
you motioned toward the curtain. โ€œhobie, thereโ€™s people who paid good money to come, iโ€™ll see you later, right?โ€ you smiled up at him with a tinge of annoyance in your eyes, trying to warn him this was his last chance.
he put his hands up in surrender. โ€œalrighโ€™, but i know youโ€™re gonna start cursinโ€™ out that audience, eh?โ€ he chuckled before punching your shoulder softly.
you pursed your lips in disbelief before hobie walked away to get seated in the front of the crowd, his usual spot. he needed to see his favorite person up close, after all.
you patted down your outfit to make sure you looked at the very least presentable. not like it was a formal outfit, anyway. you were wearing a simple graphic tee with cargo pants, you werenโ€™t the type to go all out.
you were pretty casual. very casual. so casual in fact, that there was no need for a grand entrance. you simply flapped the curtain open just enough so that you could face the stage and sit behind your crowd.
itโ€™s not like you were a pop star, but you definitely had some big fans. so it was no surprise that when you appeared, the audience almost fainted. your ears were flooded with claps from dozens of hands and cheers from excited fans.
โ€œalright, alright shut up..โ€ you mumbled, not even bothering to look up at the anxious-for-action audience members. you noticed that what looked like some new people were shocked at your obvious annoyance.
you sighed before looking back up at the people covered in bright concert lights. โ€œshit, letโ€™s do this..โ€ you sighed, โ€œthis beginning song is about how fucking mad i am at the people who work at the store and keep asking me if i need help.โ€ you explained with almost no flavor in your voice.
you took in a deep breath, about to begin playing your piano and sing, but there was an interruption.
you didnโ€™t take those very well.
โ€œhey!! i work at the store! ever been to the 24/7 drug store โ€˜round here? makes more than you, i bet.โ€ a manโ€™s voice lifted from the crowd obnoxiously. the rest of the crowd โ€˜oohedโ€™ and โ€˜ahhedโ€™ at his heckle, knowing what happened to the previous ones.
โ€œwhy donโ€™t you take all that money and shove it up your ass?โ€
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
you could still hear the echos of the howls of laughter after you had made a comeback from the few hours before. you were now protected with hobieโ€™s loving arms as they wrapped around you, your head on his slowly rising-and-falling chest. you were both sprawled on the bed, exhausted from the loud and bright night you had.
you remembered the look on hobieโ€™s face when he saw you after the show ended.
โ€œbloody hell, didnโ€™t know my darling could be like that..โ€ he said sarcastically, knowing he had seen you like this countless of times. his reaction to your jokes and comments were always priceless.
what made it better was that you were just the sweetest thing off stage. your friends all knew you as the kind one who never held grudges, never judged anyone, or treated everyone like your best friend. on stage, well.. you were just a bit different.
but, you did love your fans. especially your boyfriend.

Cause Baby You're My Muse [Chapter 51]
Tumblr media
Genre:ย Romance, Idol!AU, Music, Slight angst
Pairing:ย Mingi x Reader (y/n)
Characters:ย Producer!Reader, IdolLyricist!Mingi, IdolProducer!Hongjoong, Idol!Seonghwa, Idol!Yunho, Idol!Wooyoung, Idol!San, Idol!Yeosang, Idol!Jongho, cameo(s) by other celebrities
Summary:ย You always preferred producing underground, having an unknown face and governed by your own rules. But when you start freelancing for idol groups, you say goodbye to your lone wolf lifestyle as you learn to work with idol producers and lyricists.
Word count: 3.2K
Comeback season was in full swing. The promotional interview and showcase were a success, the public was hyped up for the titles songs and the album. The ATINY and other Kpop fans were making the song trend.
'Just did the first sound check. I'll see you tonight! - Mings'
'I'll be there to cheer all of you on. I'm excited to see what a music show taping is like. - Indigo'
Tonight at M Countdown, Ateez was going for 1st place against another group for the title song. If they win, it would be the first 1st place trophy this comeback season.
This was also your first time seeing the filming and performance venue of a real music show so you were excited to see the process.
"Why am I feeling nervous when I'm not even performing?" You chuckled. But you believed in the boys and the power of ATINY to win 1st place.
'An overnight hit to kick start their comeback. But who is this new producer in KQ?'
'The other hit songs produced by Producer Indigo, the mysterious producer, who played a big part in producing the new comeback song and album for Ateez.'
Another thing with this comeback was that people were now curious about you and who you were. There were some articles. Thankfully, there were no leaks to any information about you. You stayed off social media so that front was safe. There was no gender, no face, no name to use to find you.
Although, some people have been trying to reach you through the server that music artists and companies usually use to engage you.
'Hi Producer Indigo. I'm an ATINY! I'm not sure if you will ever read this or if this is really the only way to contact you. But thank you for your hard work, the ATINYs appreciate you!'
'I think you gel well with the Ateez boys. Can you tell me what it's like working with them? From a curious ATINY'
'How do you capture each of the boys' musical personality and put it together in a song? This song is like a perfect blend of all the boys.'
'Are you a girl? Is your identity being hidden because you're dating an Ateez member?'
You finally understood what people meant when they spoke about the extreme some fans would go to. Some questions were really personal, as if you would reply to them. But most of the ATINY sent messages of compliments to you.
"Oh, I need to get ready." You went to shower and change into some outing clothes. One of the Ateez managers were going to take you to the M Countdown film site.
'Mings, what should I wear? - Baby'
'Hahahaha. You're so cute, baby. It doesn't matter since you will be backstage with us in the room. Wear anything you want. - Mings'
'Anything? Well, I guess this is the perfect time to pull out my ball gown then. I'm asking because I might see some other artists there so I don't want to dress like a slop. - Baby'
'If you wanna wear a ball gown, go ahead! But you're far from a slop, baby, no matter what you wear. - Mings'
With a sigh, you picked out some ripped jeans, a short sleeves turtle neck and an oversized black hooded bomber jacket.
"Sorry for the wait, manager nim." You said as you climbed into the van while fixing the mask over your face. M Countdown meant there would be fans and you did not want to risk anyone seeing you or being suspicious of your identity so you even brought a cap if the hood and mask weren't enough.
"No worries, Indigo. We're glad you could make it. The boys are excited for you to be there at your first music show taping." He chuckled and began to drive.
"I'm nervous. Not sure what to expect." You chuckled.
"Nothing to be nervous about. Just follow our lead on where to go and you'll be fine." He assured.
"Before I forget. Here. You will need to wear this to get in and out of places. Plus, the security won't think you're a fan that snuck in and try to kick you out." He handed you an Ateez crew tag to wear.
"Thank you. Definitely wouldn't want to be kicked out of my first show." You laughed as you slipped it over your head.
"Omg, who is that?" As the van went past, some fans waiting otuside the venue pointed at your van.
"Don't worry, they can't see you. But every time there's a security van, they think a celebrity is inside." The manager told you as he waited for the guard the check the van's number plate before letting the van drive into the carpark.
"Alright, let's go." He parked the van. You checked your reflection in your phone to make sure that your mask and cap was adjust well then pulled your hood up.
"Just follow me." He waited for you. You trailed behind him, tucked your hands into your pockets.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Ah! Someone save me!" You were nearly mowed down by Wooyoung who was being chased by Jongho. But luckily, the manager tugged you out of harm's way.
"Kids! Stop yelling and running around! You're being a nuisance!" Hongjoong scolded. That was when he stopped, staring at you weirdly for a few seconds before he recognised you.
"Oh my gosh, Indi. You scared me! You're wrapped up, I can hardly see you." He put a hand over his chest. He wrapped his arms around you to hug you. You let out soft giggles of happiness, you've missed him. With his arm around your shoulders, he led you into the dressing room where the others were.
"It's the masked stranger." He announced.
"Indigo. We're glad you could make it." San grinned and came over. He hooked an arm around you, patting you on the back.
"Hwa~" You waved to Seonghwa through the mirror as he was getting his hair and make up done. He reached to the back to hold your hand, swinging it happily.
"You look really handsome, Hwa." You complimented.
"Thank you. How have you been?" He asked, changing the subject as his ears got red from your compliment.
"Good. I'm going to say hi to the others. I'll be back." You said briefly and patted his shoulder before going to greet the others. Yunho hugged you, teetering from side to side as he laughed.
"He's glaring at me, isn't he?" He whispered playfully. Your eyes shifted and saw Mingi staring at you and Yunho through the mirror. If looks could kill, Yunho would be six feet under. You hummed in reply to Yunho, trying your best not to laugh.
"It's less hectic than I thought it would be back here." You noted as you leaned against Yunho's larger frame.
"Because we already did the sound check so it's just getting ready. That's why Yeosangie is sleeping." Yunho nodded over to the male.
"How is he so pretty even when he sleeps?" You scoffed.
"That's the question on everyone's mind." Yunho chuckled. Soon, you both felt an ominous shadow looming over the both of you. You turned around to see Mingi there.
"It's your turn." He frowned, almost snapping at his best friend. Yunho snickered, patting your head before walking away.
"Hi, Mingi." You looked up at him with a small wave.
"Hey." Mingi breathed out, trying to keep his jealousy at bay. Even if he couldn't see the rest of your face, he could see the playful glint in your eyes. If he could, he would back you against the wall and kiss you in front of everyone now, just to show that you're his, but he had to control himself.
"Wait, why was Wooyoung getting beat up by Jongho again?" You asked, remembering the youngest chasing after Wooyoung when you entered the room earlier.
"Why do you still bother asking at this point? Wooyoung always does something that gets him beat up by the maknae." Hongjoong sighed.
"He provokes Jongho but gets scared when Jongho retaliates." You replied with a scoff.
Mingi subtly nodded over to the couch and you sat next to each other. It didn't seem out of the ordinary with the way the side of his thigh pressed against yours. No one thought anything of it.
"Did you come from your home or the office?" He asked. Of course he knew the answer, he just wanted to talk to you.
"Home. I had a meeting with those drama producers regarding their OST and sent over the final revision earlier today. So now my focus now will be Wooyoung's recorded song cover, get that ready for the first round of submission and review with Eden." You informed.
"Hopefully things can slow down a bit for you. You deserve a break, Indigo. You're always working in your studio, day and night." Mingi smiled. You nodded your head.
"Are you nervous for today?" You asked.
"There's always a bit of nerves but not too bad. If we win, we win, if not, that's fine. As long as we have a stage to perform, we're happy."
"That's a very optimistic way of looking at things. But I agree, there's no need to be nervous. I'm glad the song has been well received by everyone." You laughed.
"It's a great song. What's not to love?" Wooyoung asked, coming back into the room with Jongho behind him.
"Indigo~" He bent down to hug you. You squeezed him as he sat on your other side.
"We'll win today, for sure. For you. We'll make your first time at a music show a memorable one. You're our lucky charm, I just know it." He winked at you.
"Now that's some pressure on me." You joked.
"Just go and have fun, alright? I love watching you guys perform." You softened, feeling tears brim your eyes. There was a lump in your throat but you tried your best to swallow it. Luckily Wooyoung and Mingi were too distracted to notice the big but shaky breath you took to calm yourself down.
"We need Ateez backstage in 10 minutes." One of the stage crew came in. Hongjoong gathered the boys together to brief them. You sat there, watching them quietly.
"Whenever you're ready." The manager told them as Hongjoong wrapped up his words of encouragement.
"Do you want to watch them perform from backstage?" Another manager offered.
"Can I? I assumed I would be watching through the screen that's in here. I wouldn't want to be in the way or distract anyone." You chuckled. He nodded and waved for you to follow.
"It's your song after all." He added. You stood at the side, watching him and the others help the boys with their microphones.
"All the best, Ateez." You wished softly, wary of where you were. Seonghwa waved you over to where they were gathered in a circle. You blinked in confusion but obediently stood between him and Mingi. You looked at Seonghwa whispered something to Hongjoong while Mingi smiled softly at you.
"Today, we're 9 makes 1 team." Hongjoong said. The others nodded in agreement as they put their hands together in the center. You chewed on your lip as you put your hand on top of theirs.
"9 makes 1 team!" They all chanted as they threw their hands down. You didn't say anything but waved at them, you didn't trust your voice to not break.
"Ateez, ready for the stage." The crew announced and the fans cheered loudly as the boys went up.
"Aish." You wiped the stray tears that fell. Luckily the Ateez boys didn't see this.
"Here you go." One of the managers handed you a tissue.
"Ah, thank you. Sorry, I don't know why I'm tearing up." You laughed as you received the tissue with an embarrassed bow and quickly wiped the tears.
You watched the performance intently, giving them all your focus and attention because that was what they deserved after working so hard. You were so proud of them and this song. After the first recording was done, the boys interacted with the fans.
"Thank you for coming out and waiting for us. Do you like the song, ATINY?" San asked.
"Yes!" The fans all chimed.
"I'm glad to hear that. Like I said during the promotional interview and showcase, I think this is the first time all Ateez members were involved in the song writing and producing." Hongjoong said.
"But the hardwork was all worth it for you, ATINY." Yunho charmingly smiled at the fans, making them cheer again.
"Ateez members, ready for oneshot take. Positions." The director spoke into the microphone.
The boys did the another take of the performance and waved to the fans before exiting the stage. It took a lot of will power not to throw yourself at them to hug them.
"You all did so well." You told them as you walked alongside them to return to the dressing room. The boys all looked at you, feeling pride swell in their chest at the thought of making you so happy with their performance of the song. Yes, they worked hard on this song but you worked even harder.
"Sorry, is it okay if we have a short private meeting, please?" Hongjoong suddenly requested the few staff that were loitering in the dressing room.
"Sure." They all moved to the door, seemingly used to this. You were about to leave but Yeosang held your hand to stay.
"Now you can comfortably interact with us." Seonghwa smiled.
"You really did well. I was so proud watching you all perform on stage, I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you perform." You said, hugging each other them.
"There's another reason we got people to leave the room." Yunho chuckled as you hugged Mingi last.
"Huh?" You were confused. But Mingi surprised you by yanking your mask down and pressing his lips against yours. He gently cupped your cheek as he smiled into the kiss. The other boys turned away to give you both some privacy.
"There. I've been wanting to do that since you walked in." Mingi panted as he pulled away, adjusting your mask over your face. You stared at him with a dazed look.
"Mings!" You finally realised what he just did and slapped his arm in embarrassment. How could he do that with the others here?
"What? Serves you right for hugging everyone else in front of me." Mingi smirked.
"And you! Think you could get away with hugging my girlfriend so close." Mingi glared at his best friend, slapping the back of his neck. Yunho just snickered.
"But you did great." You smiled, hugging Mingi. His arms hooked over your shoulders as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head.
"Of course, I had my lucky charm with me right here." He said. You couldn't take too long or the staff might get suspicious so after another quick peck, Hongjoong opened the door for the other staff to come back in. He bowed in apology for making them leave but they waved him off, understanding the need for privacy.
"Everyone have your meal then we're back on stage for the announcement of today's first place." The manager said, wheeling in the food boxes on a trolley.
"Have you eaten?" Jongho asked you as he received the styrofoam box with his name.
"Yes. I ate before I came. Thanks." You told him.
"Here. I'm not feeling it today." Mingi handed you his drink, making sure to stick to straw in. It was watermelon juice, the song he would adorably made up on an Ateez logbook.
"You sure? It's your favourite..." You looked at him. Mingi couldn't help the lopsided smile that formed when he met eyes with you.
"It's fine. I'd rather finish my coffee." He said. You receive the drink, slipping the straw under your mask.
"Why are you all sitting on the floor? There are couches here with tables." You asked them while laughing, noticing how some of them were bent over awkwardly, trying to get food into their mouths. The space next to you and the adjacent couches were empty.
"Trust us, we've tried. They always like to sit on the floor and eat." The managers sighed, shaking their heads. You migrated to sit on the floow with them.
"Hehe, did you like the stage?" Wooyoung asked as you settled beside him.
"Yeah. It's very different compared to watching you guys dance in the pratice room for sure." You nodded your head.
"For one, we're not dressed in sweatpants, drenched in our own sweat in a stuffy room. There's pretty lights and costumes now." Seonghwa pointed out, laughing.
"You're always pretty, Hwa." You rolled your eyes, making Seonghwa blush at your offhanded compliment.
"What about me?!" Wooyoung exclaimed.
"All of you. You always look good, no matter where you are or what you wear. I'm sure the fans can attest to that." You corrected yourself. Hongjoong shook his head with a sigh at how they could all act like immature kids. When your phone rang, you stood up and moved to the bathroom to answer it.
"Finish up, brush your teeth and get ready to go on stage for awards." The managers said. You came out of the bathroom, tucking your phone back into your pocket.
"Everything okay?" Hongjoong asked. You nodded your head. The boys were rushed to brush their teeth after eating.
"Let's go!" The managers filed everyone out of the room. You weren't sure if you should go since the final stage with the other idols would be crowded.
"Come." Yeosang smiled and gestued for you to go with them. The stage crew got all the idols lined up to go on stage.
"Good luck, boys." You said softly to them. They smiled and waved to you before going up.
"Excuse me. Are you Producer Indigo?" One of the idols asked. You nodded your head, subconsciously pulling your hoodie over the cap a little tighter. He reached out to shake your hand.
"I heard from someone that you were here to support Ateez sunbaenims but didn't know if it was true. I'm a big fan of your work." He said enthusiastically. You bowed your head gratefully as his other group mates shook hands with you.
"Please move to the stage." The crew moved them away. But the other people backstage were suddenly aware of your presence.
"Come on, come on." You chanted to yourself. It was so noisy you couldn't really hear the announcers or see what was happening on the stage.
"And the first place goes to... ATEEZ! Congratulations!"
That was all you heard. You didn't care anymore, throwing your hands up in the air in excitement.
"Manager nim! We won!" You hugged the managers that were there, trying not to cry from happiness. They all patted your back, congratulating you as well.
"We would like to thank all the ATINYs who have been supporting us non-stop! Thank you to our CEO Kim, Edenary members, all the staff that work tirelessly! Also, this trophy goes to Producer Indigo and all the hardwork, time and effort put into the studio. Thank you, ATINY! We love you." Hongjoong said.
