Love Struck!AU x Monsta X
me: im not love struck. hyungwon: _____ me: pause
you walk by and shownu sees it in slow motion, rose colored background and angel hymns playing in his ears
the food on his chopsticks falls right down because he’s still staring at the spot you where just in and jooheon gives him a weird look
when confronted with the idea that he sees you as something more than just a friend he short-circuits
“uh….well….that….well it….that….well…”
minhyuk: it’s ok, take your time
you catch him off guard one afternoon, reading a book recommended by one of his friends
you slip in beside him, pointing at one of the lines
“isn’t this a little too poetic for your taste, hyunwoo?”
his lips part, glasses threatening to slide down his nose as he forgets how to string together a sentence
you smile and a warmth bursts through his huge body that he’s never experienced before
you don’t notice his neck go pink as you lean in even closer
he’s so scared you might hear the white noise blaring through his mind as your arm brushes his
“do you like romance novels?”
you question, curiously and shownu wants to say one thing but all he can do is give out a curt
doesn’t know where to look when you’re in a room
eyes go this way and that way and he starts bothering hyungwon for attention or picking at the lint on his sweater
when you address him, smiley and sweet, he knows his ears are on fire
and that if he makes a quick escape you might not notice
so he always has some outlandish excuse
“kihyun needs me to crack his back - he’s getting so old these days!” “i made plans to go to the market………in busan” “ouch! i think im having a heart attack - talk to you later?”
closes his eyes and the first image in his mind is you - every time
shakes his head like a confused puppy like: stop thinking about them!
but he can’t,,,,,he’s stuck
“i don’t get it - why do i keep thinking about them?”
kihyun deadpan: “you’re in love”
changkyun: “oh i was just gonna say he’s sick, but i guess that’s the same thing.”
for some reason you’re at the gym before him and wonho debates just turning around and dipping
so he keeps going in and out of the changing room with his duffel bag and everyone is like ……….?
until you spot him and wave and boy damn near drops this heavy bag on his foot out of surprise
you show him that you’re getting stronger, flexing up your arm and wonho just can’t control himself
“I MEANT……..the dumbbells are just getting cuter……..huh…………”
suaveness backfires on him very hard
“the weather is so hot today and so are,,,,,,,,,” “and so is?” “and ,,,,,,,,, so are ,,,,,,, these pants why’d i wear jeans in the heat hahaha i need to go”
pickup lines he can never finish and you just look at him quizzically as he tries to save face
will not admit it to anyone but practices greeting you in the mirror
gets caught by shownu who blankly watches kihyun posing in front of the mirror until it’s been fifteen minutes and shownu is like dude, get out - i need to shower
loud and confident usually, but somehow it becomes a little awkward when you’re around
voice cracks on two or three occasions
you get invited to the summer barbecue kihyun is throwing and of course he plans everything perfectly
except for the fact that this is a beach and so everyone is showing up in,,,,,,,beach attire
and when you come running down the beach toward him, kihyun drops the burger he was in the middle of flipping and nearly burns himself on the grill
and you’re like oh shit are you ok and he’s like what do you mean im dandy ,,,,, as he almost puts his hand down on the grill AGAIN
and you have to catch him and scold him for not paying attention
and he whines because “it’s hard to pay attention”
and you’re like why??? it’s easy - just don’t put your hand donw on the fire-
but he’s like no no it’s hard to pay attention because,,,,,,,because
minhyuk strolling by munching on his watermelon: because you’re in a swimsuit and kihyun has the mind of a dog
OOP too late, kihyun is chasing minhyuk down the beach with his skewers
“anyway they were playing the piano with me and they were doing so well even though they said they hadn’t played in YEARS!” “i think they cut their hair a little shorter, it looks nice did you guys see it what did you think?” “oh look they have the game they were telling me about-”
it’s like he’s the daily news alert
but all the news is about you
and when he talks about you - his eyes gleam with sparkles, he almost goes into a day dreamy like trance
if hearts could start swirling around his head, they would
but when he is (rightfully so) accused of having feelings for you
“WHAT? WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?”
everyone: our ears hurt because you haven’t stopped talking about them once so ,,,,,, maybe ,,,,,,,, that’s the damn evidence
refuses it before jumping back into a long rant about how adorable and perfect you are
one afternoon, hyungwon decides he’s had enough, so he tells you that you should try beating minhyuk at talking
so you and minhyuk play the compliment game - spewing sweet and corny things about each other back and forth
until you inch close enough that your noses almost brush
“minhyuk, you’re so pretty far away but up close it’s even better!”
he’s so shocked, flattered, and over the moon that he stares at you speechless
and hyungwon is like “finally. silence”
you start to wrry when minhyuk is frozen for ten minutes straight and you’re like “how do i get him to function again”
faints every time you lay a hand on him
both metaphorically and physically
like you were accidentally pushed against his chest during the bus ride home and next thing you knew he almost blacked out and hit his head on the hand pole
obliviously, you always assume it’s because he’s dehydrated or tired
minhyuk: looking into the camera like he’s on the office
gets all tingly and giggly when you touch his shoulder
makes squeaking sounds when your hand brushes against his
basically becomes a big mushy puddle of heart eyes
and mumbling incoherent sentences of affection
you: omg i think he might be having fever delusions or something
hyungwon: no,,,,,,,,,that’s definitely not it,,,,,,,,,
hates being told he should “just confess” like what the fuck do you mean “just confess” bold of you all to assume he can “JUST CONFESS”
everyone wonders what will happen when you two start dating and jooheon gets to kiss you
like will he just,,,,,,,,turn to dust? probably
you want to join the guys for lunch after their practice but the table is so cramped so you jokingly ask jooheon if “this seat is taken?” will pointing to his lap
never in your life have you seen someone flip their whole plate over to make room for yours and nod so hard you think it might snap their neck
you, embarrassed: o-oh i was just,,,,joking,,,,but,,,,um,,,if it’s ok,,,,,?
jooheon getting ready to just, turn to to jelly when you sit down:
changkyun: if he dies i get the rest of his rice
hard to read expression when you’re around but sirens are going THE FUCK OFF in his head whenever you as much as smile
anything you ask him or any questions directed at him from anyone else is just answered with a “hehe,,,,yeah”
can’t formulate much of a thought outside of: holy shit they’re so cute holy shit what do i do holy shit just lean up against the wall it’s fine holy shi-
minhyuk: bro what do you wanna eat?”
hyungwon looking over his head at where you’re talking with shownu: hehe,,,,sure
minhyuk: cool hyungwon machine broken
his nervous habit is chewing on his bottom lip and you think he’s just concentrating on music or on something
but head empty. just you. that’s it.
you ask hyungwon to teach you a little about turntables and being a dj
and he’s like “oh sure” but then you stand directly in front of him, back almost against his chest as you play around with the different switches
and he like,,,,,,,seizes function
and you’re like “oo can i try these on?” pointing to the headphones around his neck
and when you reach out to take them off, he just takes a hold of your wrists and you’re like “oh? i shouldn’t touch them?”
and he’s just like hyungwon, c’mon say something cool. say something that won’t be embarrassing like hehe yeah. this is your moment!
“you can touch me anywhere”
“…………i mean hehe sure…….”
in capital L love with you but pretends he isn’t
crosses his arms and tries to keep a straight face when it’s obvious you’re doing something adorable and everyone else in the room is like ahhhh cute!!!
changkyun, scoffing: it isn’t even that cute………..
wonho: you shouldnt lie with the lord watching changkyun
when you’re not looking, he steals glances and lowkey hates the fact that later he’ll be trying to work on something
and he’ll remember how you looked today and it’ll make him pause and just,,,,,,,kinda wish he could just walk over and talk to you
there’s really no reason he won’t just ask you out - he’s just being a big baby
you think he doesn’t really like you all that much so you get a bit anxious when asking him for a favor
but you really wanna throw a surprise party for another member so you end up asking changkyun for some help
but when you do, you accidentally hiccup in the same sentence
and you’re like oh no im a fool but
but changkyun just breaks
“how are even your hiccups cute????????”
changkyun, reaching his breaking point over a damn hiccup: “oh my god im in loooooove with you”
changkyun, laughing without stopping as he pulls you into his arms LOL
jooheon later on in the day: so you’re telling me you confessed to them because. they hiccuped?
changkyun: yeah. im also contacting the genius world record to ask them to put it in as the cutest hiccup to have ever been hiccuped
jooheon: ok. whipped much.
