stray kids imagines . . . terms of endearment they love using the most
chan who calls you this even when he's a little mad at you so that you don't forget he adores you still the same even in anger.
the two of you just sit there for a moment; the heavy silence a contrast to the raised voices from you both earlier. it feels like hours have passed. you look at each other and despite everything, something makes you want to laugh but you only manage a small smile. he smiles too — then he breaks into a very soft laugh. "y/n, my love, sometimes you drive me nuts,"
minho who calls you this in a playful, teasing manner, and there's always a certain tone in his voice when he uses the endearing name.
leaning by the door, he watches, amused, as you struggle to pull the zipper up on your dress. at some point, you huff at him, "would you help me instead of laughing by yourself over there?" and at that his smile widens, making his way towards you, "why, you only had to ask, sweetheart,"
changbin who calls you this simply because it rolls off his tongue as easily as he breathes.
he places a bowl of thoughtfully — albeit clumsily — cut fruit on your desk, and as you weakly grin up at him with a soft thank-you. and he returns your smile, his hand casually brushing over your cheek, "you look tired, baby, is there anything i can do to help...or should i just piss off?" he says, his tone light and sweet.
hyunjin who calls you this just to be as cheesy as he can be but also because it's true to him — not that he would easily admit that.
it always slips his lips oh-so-dramatically yet so sincerely. the airport may be bustling but it appears that the only person he sees is you and he engulfs you in a breathtaking, most delightful hug. "love of my life, how i've missed you,"
jisung who, playfully and most affectionately, uses terms of endearment even when there are people around.
you've barely entered the living room, you're already greeted by the sounds of laughter and chatter of his friends and yours, but his voice is unmistakably the loudest as he announces, "here comes my sunshine, the apple of my eye,"
felix who sprinkles a bunch of pet-names in every other sentence spoken to you but reserves his favorite one just for certain moments.
you almost let him oversleep just so there's an excuse to miss the flight and you'll have more time to spend with him on this vacation, in this surreal city. but you wake him up with a gentle shove and a kiss on top of his head. "i don't ever want to leave," he mumbles and you silently agree but you say, "you have to go home at some point." he looks at you, "darling darling, i am home, aren't i? you're here." and you smile. what a felix thing to say.
seungmin who doesn't use petnames often but on rare occasions that it does occur, there is one that stuck to him.
he lets you bury your face in his chest as his arm wraps around you. his hug is steady yet gentle, providing both the comfort of your favorite blanket and the sense of safety of a human shield. but it's his voice that makes you truly believe everything will be alright, "i'm right here, angel, you're not alone,"
jeongin who calls you this more often than he does your name, so much to the point that you get a little nervous when he does use your name.
sometimes it's a "hey, babe? when you come over later, can you bring me some food?" at seven in the morning when neither of you are fully awake.
and sometimes it's a passionate "oh my god, exactly, babe, i despise him too" while you bond over that tv show and your mutual hatred for that one character.
