neighborly presents

prompt 13: “Just so you know, I still don’t grant wishes if that’s why you’re back here again.”

member: chan wc: 1k genre: fluff, mythological / fantasy au, modern fairy au, neighbor (?) au, a side of college au warning: mentions of injuries note: i was gonna give up and do a genie au then did this last-minute decision and i regret nothing of it !!! + connects to another drabble coming soon & sun shower!

Chan folds his arms over the windowsill, pursing his lips to hide a growing smile in front of you. “Oh,” He says, seemingly unimpressed. “it’s you again.”

You smile and wave at him gently in response, folding your legs into a crisscross position on the grass as you sit right in front of his pine tree. “It’s me again,” You repeat with a giggle as you proceed to take out a basket of fruits from behind you. “but today I came bearing gifts!”

The tree elf eyes you suspiciously, placing a hand on his cheek in thought. “Just so you know, I still don’t grant wishes if that’s why you’re back here again.” He reminds you after, referring to the first time you met just a few months ago when you moved in. “I’m a tree elf not a genie.”

“I know that, it’s not like it’s my first time doing this—not even the third!” You roll your eyes, earning yourself the smallest curl of a smile from him. Holding up the apples and peaches with a pout, you then add, “Now, let me in, please? I woke up really early today to get these discounted at the market!”

He teases you with a pause, humming as if in thought. When he seems to have decided, though, he gives you a nod and snaps his fingers. “Alright, come right in.” You hear him finally break his façade and chuckle, his voice clearer now as you shrink in the same size as him. “You know where the front door is.”

You squeal in delight against the now taller blades of grass around you, excitedly returning the apples and peaches back in your basket before hurrying to the open door perched right on the roots of Chan’s pine tree. “Let’s make fruit salad!” You announce, politely taking your shoes off at the welcome mat before stepping inside and greeting Chan’s dog, Berry. "Hi, Berry, long time no see! Not much has changed around here, huh.”

Chan smiles at this, closing the door behind you before guiding you to his kitchen. “Not like anything really happens these days,” He shrugs, taking your basket from you once you reach the kitchen and perching it on his wooden kitchen island. “and I’m too lazy to make new things to hang on the walls.”

“Felix and Minho not coming over lately?” You ask, taking the liberty of helping him take out the needed utensils from his cupboard after.

Chan shakes his head when your eyes meet from across the kitchen. “Felix is helping prepare a sun shower wedding and Minho’s—well, Minho’s been making it rain and snow a lot somewhere these days, let’s just put it at that.”

“Oh,” You muse in thought with a small smile, crossing the kitchen after to start preparing your fruit salad. “then aren’t you glad I came over today to keep you company?”

“You actually disrupted Netflix day but sure,” He teases with a laugh, making you laugh as well. “what’s up, anyway?”

“What do you mean?”

You look over to your side and see him avoiding your glance, comically pretending to be too focused on the apples he’s now slicing. “It’s just that you haven’t come over in a week—n-not that I’m counting!—so I assume you’re busy with school or something then you just randomly showed up this morning with fruits.” He points out anyway. “so...yeah, what’s up? Finals done already or something?”

“I am—well, I was busy but not because of finals, my finals ended weeks ago.” You nod at this, your grin growing wider at suddenly remembering why you came over in the first place. When he looks up at you, interest suddenly piqued at your last statement, you add, “The real reason I came over today is because...you’ll find out after we finish this fruit salad!”

“Let’s finish this fruit salad quickly then.” Chan concludes, chopping the apples faster and making you laugh for the second time this morning.

“If you’re going to feed me to the beetles in your backyard, I just want you to know that I’m the one with magic here,” Chan reminds you, his hands holding yours in place as you cover his eyes while the two of you walk on the grass. “and I can easily switch our places.”

You chuckle, playfully hitting the back of his knee. “I wouldn’t dare! Anyway, just a few steps more!”

“Why does a gift need to be outside?” He asks for the second time since you left his house, almost stumbling on a random pebble in the process. “I told you, I don’t need another pet when I already have Berr—oh.”

Before he could even finish his sentence, you’ve already removed your hands from his eyes, jumping right in front of him to watch his reaction shift into pure surprise at the two-storey mini house you’ve carefully crafted for him. “Like it?” You ask him, giggling at his wide eyes and bright smile. “It’s one of my plates for a class and I really liked how it turned out so I thought I’d give it to you—if you want!”

Chan only smiles at you sheepishly, looking away as a blush rises up his cheeks. “I, um, I really really really love it so much.” He shyly answers, your eyes lighting up immediately from the corner of his eyes. “Is it—?”

You nod immediately, taking his hand and tugging him towards the direction of the house. “Fully furnished and everything! The prof’s so detail-oriented that way.” You explain further after, opening the door for him this time as the two of you step in. “We could move it right next to your house after and have it as like a guest house or something when Felix and Minho could visit again or whatever you want to do. I really just don’t want to throw it away.”

“I’d like that.” The tree elf replies, his voice already echoing from the distance as he proceeds to explore the house more in an excited run. “I really love this place!”

“You better, I pricked my skin a lot trying to do all these!” You tease, chuckling to yourself before following him deeper in the house. “Now, where are you? I’m supposed to give you a house tour!”

on a night much like tonight (drabble game)
