warnings|| FLUFF, cursing, cuddling. NOT PROOF READ!!! thats it i think.
a/n || hihi this is my first fic so if there's stuff i can fix PLEASEEEE tell me. im js doing this for fun and what comes to mind, if you have any recommendations pls do tell.
You and leeknow are roommates. You have been for years, or since your parents kicked you out because “you're too old to still live with us! Please find an apartment. You're grown now y/n!” Leeknow, your best friend let you in with open arms, as he was looking for a roommate anyways. as long as the cats liked you, you were welcome. And thank God they did, they loved you actually. They're always around you. You knew how to care for cats because you grew up with them.
Tonight Leeknow had friends over. you weren't necessarily close with them so you stayed out of their way, which means you locked yourself in your room. you let the cats in with you because Leeknow was worried they might get stressed from the amount of people.
You laid in bed, Sooni laid near your chest, Doongi laid sprawled out at your feet, and Dori was curled up behind you. It was about 10 when you finally fell asleep, you could still hear the men joking and laughing, the TV playing music as a back track.
The door creaked open, Leeknow held a cup of water, Seungmin behind him, whispering encouragement. Hyunjin and Han peered behind them, watching. When Leeknow saw you he stopped dead in his tracks. “uh- uh. I'm not going to do this. “ Seungmin glared at him “hyungg whyyy. it's just some water!” he whispered. “Look at them” Leeknow continued “no way I'm going to wake all of them up for one stupid dare. “
As they walk out of the room seungmin murmurs “pussy.” which earns a shove from leeknow.
The shove wakes you up, startling you. You blink awake and sit there for a few minutes staring at the walls, cats, and listening to the boys in the living room. Eventually you fall back to sleep, but this time you aren't fully asleep, instead in a state that is neither fully conscious nor unconscious.
Much later your door creaked open, leeknow stepping inside, alone this time. He stands there for a minute or two before he pulls his phone out of his pocket and takes a photo of you (and the cats of course). When he goes to put the phone in his pocket it slips, landing on the floor with a loud thud sound.
“Leeknow?” you murmur, barely awake. “ah shit I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to wake you.”
“It's fine.. why are you in here?”
“....I.. was just checking on you.”
“Okay.. are your friends still here?”
You say in silence for a moment, it wasn't awkward but it wasn't comfortable either.
“I-uh…. no. I just.. uh nevermind.”
You sat up and said “what? you can't start something and not finish it.”
he stayed silent for a moment, making eye contact with Doongi instead of you. “I don't know.. Just feels like I haven't seen you in a while.”
“You see me everyday leeknow.”
“I know that Y/N. I don't mean literally. like, we don't talk as much. Stay up late talking about everything and nothing. i… feel like we're drifting away even though you're just down the hallway.”
“fuck sorry I'm rambling I'm sorry.”
“No. Don't apologize. Just give me a minute to think.”
“well.. we've both been busy with work first off. and you have your friends over sometimes, and when they're not here you're at one of their houses. I'm not trying to blame you because it's because of both of us, but I miss you actually being here.”
There was silence for what felt like hours. He stood near the door staring at the floor while you sat up in bed staring at him.
“i-i miss you too Y/N.” He said suddenly, the tension in the room is undeniable.
“..wanna sit down?” you say, motioning towards the bed with your hand.
“yeah.” he says back hesitantly. You scoot over on the bed, closer to the wall, giving him room to sit beside you. He walks over, still not making eye contact and sits down, stiffly.
“no. i..just.. I don't know. This feels weird.”
“Did you get a girlfriend?”
“What!? n-no way!” Leeknow says, way too quickly, making you even more curious.
“then spill. what's weird.”
“this. I've never felt this way before.”
“What are you trying to say, Leeknow?”
he finally looks at you, really looks at you. “I like you Y/N.”
“What-” you get cut off by him shushing you. “I'm not done talking.” He says firmly. you stare, waiting for him to continue.
“I really, really like you Y/N. I have for an embarrassing amount of time. My friends have started noticing, it's gotten that bad. Even if you.. hate me for telling you this I'm not sorry. I like you. a lot.”
“Y/N? say something. please.”
“ I wouldn't hate you for that. i…also really like you.. God, that's so embarrassing to say outloud.”
the room filled with silence once more, feeling deafening. This time you broke the silence.
“well… I don't know what to say now.”
“Y/N.” He said, turning on the bed to sit facing you.
“I don't know… whatever you want us to be.”
“then..I want us to be more. more than just friends.”
“more” you echo, blushing slightly, barely visible under the dim lighting.
“But” he continued “before that..wait let me restart. Can I take you on a date? please let me Y/N.”
You smiled at his obvious nervousness. “Of course. Where? When?”
“your choice.” He shifted on the bed, laying with one arm propping him up, making him look up to you. And dear god, he looked even more attractive.
“something traditional like dinner or something fun?” you asked, laying beside him, copying his pose.
“I said it was your choice.”
“ah come onnn. Help me out here.” you playfully shoved his shoulder making his eyes widen a bit. “So that's how you want to be huh?”. He shoved you back, harder than you did, making you shift on the bed to get back to your original position. You put your hand up to shove him once more but he grabs your wrist and lays on his back to pull you close to him. You both just stare for a moment before he says “you're cute like this.” which earns another shove from you, making his grip on your wrist tighten, not hurting you just reminding you who's in power, even though you're practically on top of him.
He moves his other arm, pulling you closer to him, making you lay on his chest as he wraps his arm around your waist. “mm…still cute.”. You place your forehead on his chest, hiding your face because you know you're blushing and smiling like a teenager.
“Y'know, earlier I was dared to dump water on you.”
“because you were so peaceful. and the cats were also sleeping. The whole scene was too cute to disturb.”
“Who dared you? Was it Seungmin?”
The room is filled with silence again, but this time it isn't awkward, it's just both of you realizing what's really happening. He suddenly releases his grip on your wrist and places a hand on your head, holding you closer. You move one hand to play with his hair, “This isn't just us being friendly, right?” you ask hesitantly. “Is this what being friendly is to you?” he fires back.
“then.. this is more than friendly.”
