enemies to lovers | yoon jeonghan

✩ seventeen as romantic tropes series ✩ masterlist ✩

PAIRING: jeonghan x reader

THEMES: enemies to lovers trope, academic rivals, college au

WARNINGS: use of curse words, maybe a little suggestive, kissing, mentions of stress

WORDCOUNT: 1349

A/N: enjoy <3

you hated yoon jeonghan. he got on your every nerve and cell and it made you want to strangle him on the spot. anything he did or said made your blood boil and your head hot. paired with that nonchalant attitude and snarky comments he'd pass, you'd rather spend time in jail than have to sit through another class with that idiot. you sometimes wonder what you did in your past life to deserve this kind of torture.

"yn you're still taking notes? class is over sweetheart", he says as he flashes you that fake smile, calling you that stupid pet name that made your blood boil, literally.

you grip your pen tighter, holding back the urge to stab him right then and there as you lift your head up and glare at him. "fuck off jeonghan", you tell, slamming you book shut as you pack up in a haste and leave, mentally holding back the urge to strangle him like you always do.

when you get called into your professor's office later that day, you don't expect to see jeonghan there and just seeing his face turns your mood sour. he gives you that smirky grin when he sees you and you take a seat beside him, hoping your professor has a good explanation for calling you both here.

"so", your professor starts off, bring his hands together. "i'm sure you know about the upcoming research project that is coming up. since this is a very prestigious project and since you both have been the top students, we thought it would be a great chance for you both to get to work and assist on this project", you professor explains.

"really?", you ask, not ready to believe it. this was huge, like huge. and you'd always wanted to do something like this.

"yes of course! that is only if you both want to do it. otherwise, we will pass the opportunity to other students. but since you both are excellent students we thought you would love this chance and offer it to you both first", he explains.

"of course, i'd love to assist on this project!", you tell, overjoyed and your professor smiles at your enthusiasm before he looks at jeonghan, waiting for his desicion.

"i'll do it", he tells cooly.

"great! i'll let the committee know and we can proceed from there. i'll give you a brief about the project tomorrow", your professor says and you both leave.

you pay no attention jeonghan as you walk out, marching right ahead. you didn't want any of his snarky comments to ruin the moment. meanwhile jeonghan's unseen handshake remains rejected and he pulls his hand back and shrugs, walking off.

the next week after getting the brief for the research project, you're walking out when jeonghan runs after you, matching his steps to yours as he walks beside you.

"so you're just going to ignore me? when i'm your partner for this project?", he asks, looking at you and that scowl that you always seem to have on your face. he was going to change that because he liked it better when you were smiling.

"maybe if you won't be such as ass i won't ignore you", you tell. "i will try but no promises", he tells with a stupid grin, as he pulls out his phone.

"give me your number", he asks, handing his phone to you and you look like he's asking you for some illegal substance. "to coordinate? since we need to work together, is that a strange concept for you yn? well, i know guys don't usually ask you out but you don't have to be that shocked", he jokes, and you narrow your eyes as you take his phone and punch in your phone number, handing it back to him.

over the next few weeks, you find yourself spending a lot more time with jeonghan. he might still be as ass at times and get on your nerves but damn, you couldn't dismiss the fact that he was incredibly smart and knew his stuff, which was attractive. he looked hot when he was in his element. the more time you spent with him, the more you found yourself being attracted to him and you so badly wanted to deny that, but jeonghan was definitely stirring up your heart.

you both are in the library, staying a little later than usual and most of the students have gone. you're on your laptop, typing away your findings and research for the day on the project. you rest your head on your palm before you sigh and rub your temples from the tension. things had been stressful lately, not only this research project, but you had a lot of things on your plate at the moment and things were piling up. you were barely managing to get sleep and the stress and tension was eating away at you. it didn't help that jeonghan would playfully try to flirt or throw snarky comments around.

"you looked stressed sweetheart, take a break", he says, sitting opposite you, his laptop conveniently closed after he announced that he was taking a break. "how about you shut up", you snap back, annoyed. you really should have strangled him ages ago.

"well, if you're stressed, i know some ways we can destress", he tells, giving you a wink, a fucking wink. you decide you've had enough. if he was going to play like that, two could play at that game.

"oh really?", you ask, putting your pen down. he gives you that shit-eating grin and stands up, running a hand through his hair as he looks at you.

you shut your laptop close and get up, the chair screeching backwards. suddenly you have this newfound confidence and you walk towards jeonghan. "you should show me", you tease and you see the slightly shocked expression on jeonghan, before you turn around, grab the book from the table and go to the last shelf to put the book back.

you hear footsteps coming towards you and you turn around, seeing jeonghan sauntering towards you with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"want me to show you, sweetheart?" he quips with a teasing eyebrow. you're unable to resist the playful challenge so you reach out, tugging on his shirt to draw him closer. "please, enlighten me, what exactly is your method of destressing?" you ask with a teasing smile.

jeonghan looks at you with a playful smile gracing his lips as he takes a step forward, causing you to instinctively take one step back, until your back hits the wall, leaving you cornered. suddenly, a nervous flutter stirs in your chest, your heart pounding louder with each passing second as jeonghan leans in, his warm breath tickling your ear as he whispers, "i thought you hated me?"

a shiver runs down your spine at the proximity, but you refuse to let him see you falter. "i-i do," you stammer almost, your thoughts jumbled and disoriented. your hand still grips his shirt tightly as you meet his gaze, his playful grin only heightening the tension between you both.

you don't know what comes over you but you lean forward and plant a kiss on his lips. it takes him a few seconds to process what you did before smirks ever so slightly.

"looks like you read my mind, sweetheart," jeonghan declares, his voice laced with amusement as he leans in, wasting no time in capturing your lips in another kiss, his hands slowly finding your waist as he holds you. his touch is electric as his hand soon finds its way to cup your cheek, deepening the kiss.

he pulls away but you chase after his lips again, kissing him eagerly and you can feel the warmth of his smile against your lips as he softly kisses you back, indulging you, until you finally pull back, breathless.

"for someone who claims to hate me and calls me annoying, you seem to be enjoying this," jeonghan teases, his words causing a flush to rise to your cheeks. you decide to just shut him up by kissing him again, pressing your lips to his.

lost in the moment, you both find yourselves momentarily forgetting about the world around you for a few more minutes...

Lance Hunter is talkative, a little brazen, and has a body Melinda enjoys painting. When he invites her back to the dressing rooms after the event, Melinda hesitates, but then again, she's never been a firm believer of "do not touch the art."

Horny Nerds by @agentofship (Fitz/Simmons, 5.9K) Jemma goes to a sci-fi convention in the hope of getting a picture and autograph of her favorite Doctor but things don't go exactly as planned. Instead, she meets another fan and ends up having a much better time than she could have hoped for.

He just has to work up the courage to actually kiss her.

lovin' it up when i'm goin' down by @agentmmayy (Phil/May, 1.9K) Worked up from dancing, Melinda and Phil steal a few moments to themselves in the elevator.

Sparks by @sunalsolove (Fitz/Simmons, 4.4K) AU. Jemma is a top researcher in the field of Soulmate biology but needs a better way to collect the sparks that fly around Soulmates. She could also use a lot more samples. Fitz might be able to help with both.

only a call away by @agentmmayy (Phil/May, 3.3K) Lonely and bored, Melinda video calls Phil. It turns into a call she wasn't- or maybe was- expecting.

Awake - Part 1 (Jey Uso/OC/Roman Reigns)

Skye’s life is turned upside down when her boyfriend breaks up with her out of the blue. As she struggles with heartbreak, uncertainty at work and the raging pandemic, she finds solace in the form of her ex’s cousin, Jey. This sets off a chain of events that spirals out of control and threatens to tear one of wrestling’s most famous families apart. A 2-part fic based on the current Tribal Chief storyline.

WARNINGS - Fluff, minor smut, lots of angst

Word Count - 4K

--------------------

PART 1

The usually short walk to the front porch of the property feels like an eternity this time around. Letting out a ragged breath, she knocks on the door, wishing her hand wasn’t shaking so much. A shiver rakes over her frame despite the evening heat. When the door opens and her eyes land on the familiar face, it takes everything in her power to not collapse into his arms and break down completely.

“Skye.”

“I’m sorry, Uce. I didn’t know where else to go.” Her voice is a tired, watery whisper, her famously vibrant eyes bloodshot from crying.

Jey waves away her apology and grabs her suitcase, letting her inside the house. On cue, Jimmy materializes in front of her, ushering her into the kitchen and finding her a cold beer. He sits beside her by the counter and rubs her forearm in a comforting gesture. “Twin said you were coming, so I hung back,” he explains his presence in his brother's home. “You okay?”

Against her will, the tears reappear as she shakes her head no. Jey joins them in the kitchen, his thick arms crossed, his face unreadable as he watches her.

“Tell us what happened.”

She tells them everything. Each sentence she utters rips another piece of her heart out of her chest, as the reality of what happened only a few hours ago sinks in. Sniffling, she looks between the brothers, her expression almost accusing. “Why the hell would he do that to me? What is going on with him? Y’all gotta know something, right?”

Jey shakes his head. “Wish we did. He don’t tell us nothing anymore. We didn’t know things were this bad between y’all.”

“Neither did I.” She drags her fingers through the thick curls of her hair and forces herself to breathe. Her left leg bounces rapidly. She’s running low on sleep; the multiple hour drive from Pensacola has done nothing to quell her nerves.

The twins step away for a minute. They’re out of the kitchen, but she can still see them through a mirror in the open layout of the living room. Jey rolls his eyes at something Jimmy is saying, and Jimmy keeps gesturing towards the kitchen; she’s known them long enough to know that they’re talking about her. When they return, Jimmy gives her another big hug. “Gotta go, sis. I’ll have a discussion with our bonehead cousin. You take care, okay?”

“What the fuck do I do now?” she asks Jey when Jimmy is gone.

“Stay here and cool off. Talk to Roman in a couple of days and see what happens.”

“I don’t wanna be an inconvenience to you, if that’s what Jimmy’s thinking.”

It would be easier for Jey if that was the case. “You know that ain’t true. You can stay here for as long as you need. Focus on you right now, alright?”

She turns down Jey’s gentlemanly offer to take his own bedroom while he moves to the guest room downstairs. Besides, this is only temporary; she desperately wants to believe that Roman will come to his senses, hopes he cools off too, so that they can talk and work things out. They always do. But a day goes by, and another, and another, and not one word from him. Not one text replied, not one call answered. Then, on the seventh day, she gets an email from him, forwarding to her the location of the storage unit where he put her things, and then, driving the final nail in the coffin, he ends the email with “Good luck”.

Good luck. Like the last seven years they shared never happened. And just like that, any chance at reconciliation is gone. He might as well have driven that nail straight through her heart.

----------------

As her world collapses around her, the world itself is also imploding at the same time. Coronavirus cases are rising everywhere, affecting millions of people, and the whole country has gone into lockdown. Everything shuts down. Everything. More shockingly, fans can no longer attend shows, including this year’s WrestleMania. Skye is also forced to stay away as her asthma makes her a prime COVID target and a bunch of her co-workers are testing positive. She knows she shouldn’t, but she finds herself thinking about Roman, how he’s coping in this weird period. His immune system is also compromised. She wonders what he’s doing now, if he’s taking care of himself. If he has found her replacement already. She wouldn’t be surprised if he has. After all, he never was short of new prospects, with women falling over their feet for him all the time…

Sitting alone by the pool one evening, she tries to figure out where it all went wrong. The shock that swept through her when Roman kicked her out of his house has yet to leave her body. He had slammed the door behind him like she was a bag of trash he was taking out. And the worst part is she doesn’t understand why he turned on her so callously. Had she done anything wrong? Said anything? All she had said was he needed to put more effort into their relationship, to stop treating her like an afterthought. She understood the pressures of being the top guy in the WWE; After all, she was a multi-time Women’s champion herself. But she also made sure she had time for him, for them. Lately, it was looking extremely one-sided. All she asked was for him to love her like she loved him, like he used to. It hurt, she’d said, to be taken for granted. She wanted commitment and not just empty words. He’d held her close and kissed the side of her neck like he knew she loved, and as he fucked her into submission, he whispered promises that he would be better, just like she wanted. Only for him to break up with her weeks later and shatter her heart into a thousand pieces.

"Hey."

Jey’s deep voice breaks through her thoughts, startling her. She quickly wipes her eyes as he joins her outside and sits down next to her. The stretch of silence that follows does not surprise her; Jey has always been quiet and reserved, always thinking things through before speaking. But his presence is comforting. He’s an expert at making her feel calm, which is why coming all this way to stay with him was a no-brainer for her.

"It'll get easier," he says softly. She’s been moping around for days now. He’s heard her crying in the guest room more than once. It breaks his heart to see a woman as strong and as jovial as her so devastated. “It feels fucked up right now, but you’ll come out better on the other side. Trust me, I know.”

She can think of a number of his own experiences he could be referring to. It doesn’t make her feel much better, but as one of her best friends, she will always welcome his kind words and soothing voice. Shifting closer to him, she lets him wrap his arm around her and pull her in a hug. She lays her head on his shoulder, exhaling deeply as they gaze up at the night sky. It’s pitch black, devoid of stars. It looks a whole lot like her life right now.

“Thank you,” she whispers, tearing up again.

“Don’t worry about it. I got you,” Jey replies softly, kissing the top of her head. “I got you, Skye. Always.”

----------------

It’s an eye opening few months, as lockdown restrictions have suddenly left them with downtime that none of them have had since their wrestling careers began. Living with Jey takes Skye back to their early days, when she, the twins, Naomi and some other fellow wrestlers were cramped in one house for over a year while they made names for themselves in the industry. Making the most of quarantine, Skye and Jey set up a daily workout routine together, not wanting to be complacent in inactivity. She learns how to make bread and lasagna from scratch. They check in on Naomi and Jimmy as he recovers from knee surgery. They go outside on walks together, masked up and social distancing in their quest for fresh air. He picks up live-streaming with Woods and the rest of the UpUpDownDown crew. They play scrabble at least twice every day, which gets more competitive with each passing game. He encourages her to rock her natural hair. She also returns to her dance roots, sporadically uploading snippets of her Afrobeat freestyles on Instagram, one of which goes semi-viral when Jey jumps in with a few moves of his own. They go incognito to join the Black Lives Matter protests around Atlanta, and it’s an experience that neither of them will ever forget. Slowly, surely, she starts to feel like herself again. And she has Jey to thank for it. She knows he’s kept her occupied to take her mind off Roman, and she appreciates it more than he’ll ever know.

They’re having dinner on the floor in the living room, the relaxed silence complemented by the music of Burna Boy playing softly on the sound system. As she watches him chug down a bottle of water, Skye thinks of how to put her feelings into words. “Thank you, Jey. For letting me stick around. I don’t know what I’d have done if I’d had to quarantine all alone.”

“It’s all good,” he says. “Honestly, it’s been great having you around. It’s been a minute since we spent free time like this.”

“I know. I really wish there was a way I could repay you, though.”

“It ain’t nothing, S. Mi casa, su casa. You my girl, and I always got time for you.” His eyes widen, and he quickly backtracks. “I mean, not my girl, my girl-”

She smirks at his flustered reaction. He’s cute when he’s stumped for words. “Chill, Uce. I know what you mean.” Reaching out, she places her hand on his forearm, her palm smoothing over his tattooed skin. “But for real. Thanks for being such a good friend.”

“Friend. Yeah.”

For a long time, they stare at each other, and the air seems to shift. His skin suddenly feels hot to the touch, and she quickly pulls her hand back. When they clear their throats and refocus on their food, they both realize their hearts are racing.

-------------

Inevitably, as time passes, something switches within Skye. Suddenly, Jey is more handsome than he’s ever been. His growing hair is shinier, his smile is more stunning. The dimple on his left cheek is deeper than the one on his right. Little things she didn’t quite notice before suddenly become as obvious as headlights at night. During their workouts she finds herself staring at him for longer than usual, watching his muscles flex and ripple in the light, wanting to lick off the sweat dripping down his chest and abs. She stares even when he’s doing the most mundane stuff; talking on the phone, cooking, watching Netflix; she doesn’t let him out of her sight. Sometimes, she catches him staring too, and she dares to wonder...dares to hope...

On one of the few days they venture out to the supermarket to restock on supplies, an elderly woman strolls past them joking around at the dairy aisle. “You are such a cute couple,” she comments.

Skye is all sorts of happy when he doesn’t correct her.

-------------

She tells herself that it’s just a silly crush that will blow over soon. Being stuck in the house for this long and being around him all the time is starting to mess with her mind. Plus, because she hasn’t had sex in months, she’s horny as hell. At least that’s her excuse. But she knows it’s not entirely true.

There has always been something unspoken between Skye and Jey Uso, a tension that she could never explain. She remembers when Naomi had just started dating Jimmy, and she would constantly hint about Jey being interested in Skye and joke about going on double dates together. In the back of her mind, even after she became Roman’s girlfriend, she’d wondered if that still rang true. Though they remained close, he’d never made a move on her and she didn’t expect him to. Jey is notoriously honorable, and wouldn’t act upon any feelings he had out of respect for the man that is essentially his brother. And though she admires that about him, damn if she doesn’t want him to act out those feelings on her right now.

In July, the office asks Jey to come in for a Smackdown episode. It’s somewhat jarring to see him leave; he’s been her security blanket of sorts for the past several months. When he informs her that he’s also going to visit his son, an inexplicable pang of jealousy fills her at the thought of him being in close proximity to Amina, his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child. She battles the overwhelming urge to call him when he’s away, not wanting to look so needy and clingy. She lets him make the first move, and when he does, she applauds herself for not picking up on the first ring.

“I’m kinda missing you over here, Uce. It’s hella quiet all by myself,” she tells him while they talk, picking at a fraying thread on her sweatpants and hoping she sounds as platonic as possible. His low chuckle makes the butterflies flutter in her belly.

“Miss you too, S. I’ll be home soon, I promise.” A few minutes later, he agrees to kiss his son hello for her and hangs up. He looks over to see Amina leaning against the doorframe with a smirk on her face. “What?”

“I’m guessing that was Skye.” There’s a hint of amusement in her voice as she points at him. “There’s only one person in the world that makes you smile like that, and the fact that y’all are still dancing around each other after all these years is astounding.”

His insides clench at her words. Has he really been that obvious? “What’chu mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean.” She shakes her head. “The door’s finally open for you, Jey. Ain’t nobody in your way anymore. Not me, not Roman, nobody. The question is, what are you gonna do about it?”

Honestly, he doesn’t know. The truth is he had come out here for some clarity and soul-searching. Over the last number of months, he could feel something growing between himself and Skye, something beyond the familiar realm of friendship, and he is torn. The last thing he wants is to ruin his relationship with both Roman and Skye. Especially Skye. She is beautiful, so beautiful, and she is talented and kind and an amazing friend to him and his brother and the rest of his family. She had his back from the day they first met in Developmental, put her neck on the line for him so many times, at work and outside work. Like when had his first DUI issue a few years ago; she bailed him out of jail; dropped everything to be there for him even at the expense of her own well-being. She had his loyalty for life after that. That she had stepped up for him like that, at his lowest point, is something he will never forget.

That was probably when he realized that this was more than a crush for him; From then on, he could not go through the day without thinking about her. His heart rate skyrocketed whenever she was near him; sometimes he would forget his own name when she smiled at him. It killed him that Roman got to her first, yet, somehow, he swallowed it, pretended to be unfazed that the woman he loved was with his cousin even though he was wilting inside. He tried to move on with Amina, and though they had a beautiful five-year-old son, something was still missing, and he knew what, or who, it was.

It’s weird to be feeling this way, even weirder that it’s his cousin’s ex-girlfriend. It should be wrong; taboo, even. But recent events have drawn him closer to her in more ways than ever before. The private conversations they’ve had during quarantine, seeing her so comfortable in his home, has only fueled his desire for her. It’s not entirely lost on him that fate may have played a role in all this, from her coming to him following the end of her relationship, followed right away by the lockdown which gave him more time with her. Selfishly, he wasn’t so cut up when he heard she and Roman broke up. Of course he was sad for her; he hated to see her so upset. Still, he is proud that she came to him when it all went down. He wants to be the one she comes to for everything. That’s how much he cares for Skye, which makes him all the more conflicted and nervous about crossing that line. He will just have to wait and see.

----------------

On Skye’s birthday, Jey’s house is bombarded with presents from the few people who know her quarantine location; Jimmy and Naomi and Sasha and Nia and Nattie and the New Day, among others. Jey has organized a surprise Zoom party with a bunch of the roster in attendance, and even invites her parents, sister and brother, which makes her emotional as she’s missed them so much. It’s been a really good day, and she’s having so much fun that she forgets all about one Roman Reigns for the first time in months.

The party wraps up late in the evening. While they clean up, she turns on the radio in the kitchen, and ‘Acquainted’ is just starting out. As she watches Jey dump empty wine bottles into the trash, she blurts out, “I wanna dance.”

He raises a skeptical eyebrow as he washes his hands. “Girl, it’s late.”

“Not that late. It’s still my birthday Uce, you gotta do what I want,” she insists. Holding out her hand, she motions for him to come closer, inwardly praying that he doesn’t turn her away. “Come on, babe. Dance with me.”

Eyeing her for a moment, he gives in and slips his hand into hers. Skye smiles at the feel of his other arm curling around her waist and pulling her close. Her heart flutters when he takes the lead and guides her into a gentle swaying, his long fingers lightly tracing the small of her back.

“Happy?” he asks, his breath caressing her ear and sending a shiver down her spine.

“Mm-hmm. You make me so happy, Jey.” she rests her head on his shoulder, bringing them body-to-body. She feels safe and secure in his embrace, a feeling she hasn’t experienced since Roman. It feels right, like this is where she’s meant to be. She is content to stay in his arms forever, swaying with him to the slow melody and The Weeknd’s hauntingly seductive vocals.

As he looks down at her, absorbs her words and takes in the serene expression on her beautiful face, a myriad of emotions sweeps powerfully through the Samoan. It feels like the stars are finally aligning. Seeing her so happy today, knowing that she's happy because of him, has made him finally understand that she is the one he’s been looking for all this time. His cousin wasn’t her soulmate; he was. He wants to take this chance so badly, and he starts off with a kiss to her forehead, and then her cheek, down to the side of her neck, holding her tight as their bodies grind together. Her little gasp, along with the way her heart pounds against his own, lets him know that she wants the same, too. Her arms circle around his neck and she rolls her lower body more firmly against his, with their foreheads touching and lips dangerously inches away. The tension is heating up big time between them, like a bubbling volcano about to erupt.

He wants her; Skye can see it in the heat of his gaze, can feel it in the softness of his lips on her skin, and particularly in the bulge that rubs against her core as they dance. And as she looks into his eyes, she makes her decision then and there. Throwing caution to the wind, she presses her lips to his, and it’s like fresh air is flowing through her lungs. Even more thrilling is that he’s kissing her back. Maybe it’s the wine in their systems, but this kiss, this intimacy is so much greater than she expects, so tender and yet so filled with unexplored passion and charged with raw sexuality. And she can’t get enough of it.

Jey growls low in his throat before pulling away abruptly. “I’m sorry,” he breathes.

“For what?” she challenges, stepping closer to him for another kiss, but he backs away again.

“It’s late. We should go to bed.” His voice is strained, as though uttering each word is sapping all of his strength. His head is spinning and his body is screaming for her, but he’s holding himself back with every ounce of self-restraint that he possesses.

An unpleasant mixture of disappointment, frustration and embarrassment tumbles around inside her like a morbid merry-go-round. He’s being noble again and she doesn’t want him to be, but she has to respect his decision. “Okay.” She swallows, steps back. “Thanks for today. It was fun.”

“Yeah.” His eyes bore a hole into her soul, and she tears her gaze away. He’s so gorgeous that she feels paralyzed from his stare alone. Her legs are as heavy as lead as she walks back to her room. Her hand trembles on the door handle, and she forces herself to rein in her feelings and prepare for another sleepless night.

A tattooed hand slams the door shut before she can fully open it. Startled, she spins around, her breath catching as she’s suddenly trapped between the door and Jey’s two-hundred-plus pound frame. His eyes are ablaze, reflecting the hunger she’s feeling inside.

“I gotta do what you want, right?” he repeats, his voice is low and ragged with need. “So tell me what you want. Right now.”

Why tell him, when she can just show him? Without hesitation, her hand circles the back of his head and brings his face down to hers. Their lips meet again, this time in a passionate, emotional explosion. He presses her flush against the door, caging her in as he desperately seeks more of her taste. Tongues clash, hands roam, with the tension finally at breaking point. With their lips still joined together, Skye backs into the bedroom, taking Jey inside with her as he reaches out blindly to shut the door behind them.

----------------

She finally returns to work in pseudo-triumphant fashion, with new merch and a new feud with Bayley for the Smackdown title. Being back out there is difficult, but not because of the absence of fans in the arena. Far from it. It’s because all she wants more than anything in the world is to go back to Jey. To be back in his arms, to feel his hands and mouth on her body, to taste him again. And she knows he feels the same way.

As the weeks go by, they sneak around backstage like lovesick teenagers, stealing kisses in the shadows, letting their hands or bodies brush the other’s as they walk past each other in a crowded area. When they’re not near each other, the text messages fly back and forth, from the affectionate to the romantic to the downright sleazy. They’ve gotten to ‘know’ each other over the last few weeks, and thinking about it makes her toes curl and her panties dampen with lust. From her own experience, along with Naomi’s glowing accounts of Jimmy’s prowess, it’s like the good Lord lined up all the Island boys and blessed each one with a sizable D and a stellar stroke game. Even better is that Jey is attentive and adventurous and very generous in bed, and she is reaping the benefits in a big way, pun very much intended. Further proving her point, he takes their usual cat-and-mouse game a step further one Friday, grabbing her hand and dragging her into a janitor’s closet in the bowels of the arena.

“You’re fuckin’ crazy, Uce," she giggles breathlessly against his lips, clutching him tightly as he lifts her off the floor with ease and pins her against the wall.

"You like that shit," he grunts low in her ear, kissing on her neck, his long fingers digging into her bare backside as he thrusts deeper inside her. "Fuck, babe, you feel so fuckin’ good..."

“Don’t stop, baby,” Skye urges, and moans into his shoulder when he speeds up his thrusts and fucks her harder. Her breathing is shallow and she does her best to stay quiet, knowing that all hell will break loose if they are caught. But it feels so good, so liberating. It’s their little secret, a thrill that neither of them has felt in a long time. They are both glad they are not traveling much anymore; keeping their new relationship private would have been impossible. They are content to rush back to Atlanta after the shows and retreat into the little bubble they’ve created together, wanting nothing more than to remain in this newfound bliss for as long as possible.

If only wishes were horses….

Jimmy has always known his brother was in love with Skye. He probably knew before he knew, from the way he kept working her name into almost every conversation, to the lingering stares he would give her when she wasn’t looking. Still gave her to this day. Unfortunately, his quiet brother had not worked up the nerve to shoot his shot until it was too late. But he guesses it’s better late than never; at least that is his thought process when he walks into his brother’s house and finds him making out heavily with Skye on the living room couch. He would be lying if he said he didn't see this coming. And though the union may be wrong on principle, he cannot deny how happy his brother has been lately. His entire demeanor has changed for the better, and his happiness is all that matters to Jimmy. But he won’t feel right if he departs without addressing the elephant in the room.

“You know I love both of y’all, right? I just need you to be careful,” he warns. “Cuz if Big Uce gets wind of this-”

“I got it, man. Nothing’s gonna happen. And if something does happen, I’ll protect her, like I always have,” Jey simply says, looking his brother dead in the eye as Skye nods in agreement and threads her fingers protectively through his.

Looking back and forth between them and seeing that both their minds are already made up, Jimmy sighs resignedly. Roman is his brother too, but he will always stand by his twin, no matter what. He just hopes that everything works out in the end and there would be no drama between anyone.

No amount of optimism could have prepared any of them for the chaos that would erupt over the next few months.

END OF PART 1

----------------

Had a ton of fun writing this. Can’t wait to post part 2 where Roman finally makes his appearance. He is despicable in this, haha.

I’d love to get your comments/feedback on this so far.

There’s a second story still coming. That’s the REALLY good one, if you know what I mean. 😉😈

the boy next door | choi seungcheol

✩ seventeen as romantic tropes series ✩ masterlist ✩

PAIRING: seungcheol x reader

THEMES: boy next door trope, mutual pining, fluff, pinch of angst

WARNINGS: kissing, shirtless cheol-

WORDCOUNT: 2017

A/N: enjoy <3

choi seungcheol, he had always been the boy next door. ever since you moved into the neighbourhood four years ago, you got to know him and his family. it was like there was just a spontaneous spark between your family and his and they bonded immediately. you'd gone to the same school as seungcheol, become good friends with him, and graduated highschool together. and now here you were going to his family's beach house for a little summer vacation before college started.

"are you packing to move to the beach permanently?", seungcheol questions when he sees the way you're sitting on your suitcase and trying to close it, because it won't seem to zip close otherwise, not with the way you've stuffed it full.

"shut up if you're not going to be of any help", you tell, frustrated, struggling even more.

seungcheol wordlessly bends down the same moment you slide off the suitcase. he pushes it down with one hand, his ridiculously big bicep flexing as his other hand finds the zip and he manages to close it with ease and grace, unlike you.

he looks at you, proud and you give him a thumbs up. "are you excited?", he asks you. "very, gotta use the last of my freedom before college starts", you tell as you sit on the floor.

"well, i'll see you tomorrow, i should head back, mom's been after me because i still haven't packed", he says, getting up and ruffling your hair in the process before he leaves.

your and seungcheol's dynamic was like close friends. you two had grown close over the years, sharing countless memories and inside jokes. but this year felt different somehow as if there was an unspoken shift in the air and you couldn't help but feel something, something that tugged at your heartstrings.

the next day you bid your parents goodbye for the next two weeks and you're sitting in the car, seungcheol beside you as you head to his family's beach house. you were more than excited and ready for this vacation. you fall asleep in the middle of the journey, resting your head on seungcheol's shoulder as you doze off. after a while you feel someone softly shake you awake and your eyes flutter open.

"wake up sleepyhead, we've reached", seungcheol says as you lift your head up, still sleepy. he proceeds to clutch his shoulder dramatically, telling you how inconvenienced he was and you smack him, annoyed, but you can tell by the way he laughs and smiles stupidly that he was teasing you he like he did.

that day you don't really do much other than settling in the small room you had and helping his mom with preparing dinner while seungcheol was off on a side quest his dad had sent him.

the next day, the sun was already high in the sky as you made your way towards the beach, the salty breeze teasing your skin and tousling your hair. you're wearing shorts and a crop top and you felt the warmth of the sun against your bare arms, a sense of freedom washing over you with every step.

you're halfway to the beach when you hear seungcheol call out for you. you turn around and your jaw almost drops to the ground. why?

because seungcheol was shirtless, his bare chest basking in the sunlight. his toned body and physique was on full display. it was like a scene from a movie and for a moment, you found yourself frozen in awe as you stared at him. "wait up", he says as he jogs towards you with an easy smile, catching up to you. you can feel your heart rate quicken as he closes the distance, his presence commanding attention with every step. you have to pry your gaze away from his sculpted form, and you focus on the ground beneath your feet, willing yourself to regain composure.

together, you continued towards the beach, the sound of the crashing waves growing louder with each passing moment. despite your best efforts to maintain a casual demeanour, the image of seungcheol's shirtless figure lingered in your mind, sending a flurry of butterflies dancing in your stomach as you tried to keep your eyes straight and not dart towards his side.

you walk towards the water and sigh as the cool water envelops your feet, a contented sigh escapes your lips, the sensation of the wet sand between your toes grounding you in the moment. you close your eyes, feeling the breeze tangle in your hair. but your tranquillity was short-lived as a sudden splash of water jolts you from your moment, drawing your gaze to the mischievous grin of none other than seungcheol.

a playful glint dances in his eyes as he launches another playful splash at you, the droplets of water peppering your skin. "oh you're asking for it aren't you", you tell with a teasing grin of your own, bending down to scoop some water in your hands and retaliating with a splash of your own. you both walk a little deeper into the water and he splashes you again. his hands grab your waist as he captures you in his grip and you've been utterly defeated. you let out a laugh as he loosens his grip on you and you turn around, looking at him. his hands linger on your waist and you gulp as you try to calm your racing heart.

the next week goes by and you're having fun and having a great time relaxing, spending time with seungcheol's family and having some wind-down time for yourself as well. the only thing that seemed to really affect you and your brain chemistry? the fact that seungcheol was practically walking around shirtless the entire time. you swear it was like he hadn't even packed any shirts because you don't think you'd seen one on him apart from once.

as the days went on, the realisation that you liked seungcheol crept up to you like the tide rolling in and you couldn't shake the nagging feeling that your feelings for seungcheol were evolving into something more than mere friendship. it was starting to make you feel restless and uneasy.

you found yourself lying awake in bed, thinking about seungcheol. despite spending every day together, it was never enough. there was a craving for more, a desire for more of his company, more of his laughter, more of him. so you decide to create some distance between you and seungcheol because that was the only way you could think of to deal with your complicated emotions.

seungcheol notices on the second day. he notices the subtle changes in your behaviour, the way you're not spending time with him like you were, somehow always being holed up in your room more often than before. the way you would make excuses to stay back whenever he was going to the local market or on an errand his dad sent him on instead of tagging along like you always did. just the way you were keeping a distance from him, talking less, not your usual self had him worried and the distance started to eat away at his heart. had he done something wrong?

the next day he decides to do something about it. so he climbs up your balcony late into the cool night and knocks on your window, startling you.

"seungcheol what the hell?", you nearly shout when you see him balancing on your balcony with that stupid grin that made you heart somersault. thankfully he was wearing a shirt otherwise you would have sworn you'd have gone insane otherwise.

"i want to show you something", he tells, offering his hand to you.

"i'm tired, later okay", you tell, making an excuse. seungcheol's smile falters a but his determination does not.

"please, you can only see it today", he says, reaching for your hand anyway, not willing to let you get away this time.

you glare at him but give in and seungcheol beckons you to climb out the window and follow him.

"what-i am not climbing the roof seungcheol what is wrong with you?", you whisper yell because it's late into the night and you don't want to wake his parents up.

"trust me okay", he tells, taking your hand, holding it firmly and helping you climb onto the roof. you're gripping onto seungcheol's hand so tight once you get on the roof, scared and the sudden height makes you dizzy, making you stand closer to him. his arm finds your waist to help steady and ground you and he guides you to a small portion of the roof. he sits down and so do you.

"care to explain why we're here?", you prompt, looking at seungcheol.

"look up, see that constellation over there?", he says, pointing out to it. your eyes search the night sky for the constellation he was pointing at, expecting something extraordinary but it was only the same old one you see every day.

"but i see that every day", you tell, giving him an unbelievable look.

"exactly, just like you see me everyday. so why are you suddenly avoiding me?", he asks with a raise of his brow as he looks deepy into your eyes.

"i-i'm not avoiding you", you tell, lying but seungcheol can see right through you.

"seriously yn? you expect me to believe that?", he asks, giving you another look as he runs a hand through his hair. "what's going on? you can tell me", he assures, looking at you and waiting for you to speak, giving you that space.

you sigh and look ahead, watching the beach, the water mostly still apart from small waves. the salty breeze tangles into your hair and the night is chilly, stars peppering the deep blue night sky. how could tell seungcheol you liked him?

"it's stupid okay and not important", you tell, dismissing the topic and your feelings. "it's not stupid if it's bothering you", he says, looking at you with those big, sweet, brown eyes that you can't help but fall for deeper.

you gulp. "i think i like you", you tell so softly after a few moments of silence. your words are so soft that seungcheol would have missed it if he wasn't listening so carefully and you see the small wave of emotion that ripples through his face and eyes.

"i told you it's stupid, just forget i said anything", you tell, moving to get up but seungcheol doesn't let you, holding you back down.

"don't i get a say in this?", he asks, and the tone of his voice makes you sit up straighter somehow.

"no? it'll be embarrassing if you're going to reject me, it's better if we stay friends anyway", you tell, already feeling nervous.

"i think i like you too", he says, his words cutting into the tense air between you both and you can only blink at him as he gazes at you.

"you know when we went to prom together because no other guy asked you out and i took you since you were so excited and wanted to go? that's the moment i realised i liked you, liked you more than friends. you were glowing that night", he fills in, his words making your breath catch.

and you both continue to look at each other until you break eye contact, nervous and a little overwhelmed.

"we shouldn't", you tell softly. "why not?", he asks, moving closer his hand coming to cup your cheek and you steal a glance at his lips. he leans in slowly and you do too until his lips meet yours and he leaves a soft kiss on your lips. he pulls away, looking at you, only to be pulled back as you grab his shirt, kissing him again.

he kisses you back, slowly moving his lips against yours and you sigh into the kiss because no matter how many times you had imagined this moment, nothing would compare to the real one right now.

seungcheol kisses you sweetly under the moonlight and star-speckled sky and all you can do is kiss him back because nothing could have prepared you for how hard you would fall for the boy next door.
