Hi!!! i LOVE your work and i just wanted to ask what major you think mydei would have in the college auđ€
hello nonnie!! i feel like mydei would definitely pursue a culinary major or something of the sorts because of his immense love for sweets (ÂŽïœĄâą á” âąïœĄ`) so when he finds out that reader works at a cafe and visits her to try out the pastries (which.. may also make a certain blue eyed boy jealous đđ) he may mention that the sweets he makes are way more delicious!! aka⊠inviting the reader to bake with him at his house⊠đđ

itâs difficult trying to juggle your college life, a minimum wage cafe job, and the emotional chaos of falling a little bit in love with people you definitely shouldnât be falling for: the guy who takes the same train as you every morning without fail, the golden-retriever boy with a pretty smile who keeps on buying coffee just to talk to you, and your sarcastic nerd of a roommate who âswears he could care less about your wellbeingâ (he is in fact lying).
itâs fine, right? youâre totally fine.
(yeah, no. you are absolutely not.)

PHAINON â THE CUTE COFFEE SHOP REGULAR !
so you work at a coffee shop near campus and see your classmates come and go all the time (as caffeine is an integral part to a studentâs life, of course), but then thereâs this boy⊠who keeps coming in just to flirt with you and waste his money on iced coffees that he doesnât even finish??
well, at least heâs pretty. like, offensively pretty. oh, and he has a god-tier face card. honestly, itâs so not fair.
Thereâs this boy who comes into the cafe a little too often for his own good.
Youâve been working here for a while now, at this little coffee shop near campus. Itâs a part-time thing, something to fill the days when you donât have lectures and to help cover your share of the rent (because Anaxagoras, bless him, does not subsidize your existence). Youâve gotten used to seeing the same familiar faces from campus filtering in and out on most days. The coffeeâs just good enough to be a solid pick-me-up in the mornings, and while some days do get especially hectic, the payâs manageable and the regulars are tolerable. For the most part.
Itâs just a run-down minimum wage job, really. Itâs always been nothing special to you⊠until he started walking in.
This guy from one of your classes. He comes in at nearly the same time every few days, always during your shifts, and orders the same damn drink every time: an iced caramel macchiato with an extra pump of vanilla, because he âwants it extra sweet, just like you.â (His words, not yoursâyou still vividly remember the first time he said it, and how you stared at him in dead silence, trying your hardest to suppress a laugh. I mean, at least he was straightforward about it?)Â
He sits at one of the tables by the window, and barely even finishes his drink half the time. Which is⊠oddly suspicious. Because what kind of college student spends seven dollars on coffee just to let it water down to the point that itâs, well, undrinkable?
(Answer: Psychopaths. Cute psychopaths named Phainon. Thatâs his name, by the way. You learned it one day and made sure to note him as part of the top 10⊠to put it bluntly, hottest regulars. Heâs number one, obviously. Because even though heâs absolutely horrible with pickup lines, heâs still got that golden-boy, too-pretty-for-his-own-good face. Almost like he was a demigod in another life. Itâs kinda unfair.)
But hey, who are you kidding? His overpriced orders pad your paycheck, you get free entertainment in the form of whatever it is he thinks counts as flirting, and you humor him in return. Itâs a mutual exchange.
It all starts off innocently enough. Itâs not like you wait for Phainon to show up or anything. You vividly recall the day you learned the name of the mystery pretty boy who keeps flirting with you, actually. You only found out because one morning, out of sheer boredomâor maybe curiosity, but youâre not admitting thatâyou asked. People put their names on cups at places like this anyway, right? It was casual enough.
âWhatâs your name?â you asked, pen poised lazily over the cup of coffee you were making him. (The same drink he probably wasnât going to finish anyway, but whatever.) âWhat? I need to write it on your drink.â
He blinked at you like youâve been possessed (and maybe at the time, you might as well have been), clearly caught off guard by the sudden straightforwardness. âPhainon⊠Itâs Phainon.â
And maybe it was the way he said itâlike he was trying to play it casually, yet you could sense his shy hesitanceâbut you felt it stick to you. And before you even knew it, the words nearly slipped out before you could stop yourself:
Youâre pretty, Phainon.
But youâre not that bold. God, you wish you were, but youâre not. Not even remotely. Instead, what blurted out of your mouth, entirely unprompted, was:
âThatâs a pretty name, Phainon.â
Oh shit.
There was a pause. A really brutal one. It was deafening and you still remember it. The realization hit about half a second too late, just as the heat started creeping up your neck.
Phainon stared at you. And then, his whole face lit up. This little shit was smiling. No, he was fucking beaming, actually. âSo my charmâs finally working on you, huh?â
You scowled. Or, well, you tried to. It didnât do much to hide the smile that was barely tugging at your lips at the time. Whether out of embarrassment, shame, or something else completely, you didnât know. âNo. Shut up. Donât make it weird.â
âToo late,â he grinned, and you swear that smile alone could power the whole damn city. Was he seriously that happy about what you said? âIâm taking that as a win.â
You rolled your eyes, acting like it was no big deal as you slid the drink towards him. Unfortunately, your face was betraying you completely. It was too bad, really. He picked up his cup, and that stupid grin still hadnât left his face. You wanted to wipe it off so bad. âA pretty name, huh? Guess Iâll just have to keep showing up, then.â
You waved him off. âDonât flatter yourself.â
You remember that moment very well, thatâs for sure. You also remember the next part just as vividly, mainly because of your coworker.
Youâd barely turned around before hearing her laugh from where she stood near one of the espresso machines, realizing that sheâd just witnessed that entire interaction. Aglaeaâsheâs a few years older than you and technically your supervisor, but it really doesnât feel like it. More like⊠an annoying big sister. Yeah. That describes her perfectly. âYou know youâre smiling like an idiot right now, right?â
âAglaea. Donât even start,â you muttered, although there was no bite behind your words.
And yeah, maybe at the time, you were still smiling. Just a little bit, though.Â
And thatâs how it all starts. A silly little routine as the semester goes by, and your little back and forth with Phainon becomes something that you begin to really enjoy. He comes in. You pretend not to care (you do, you care a lot). Aglaea teases you as he leaves, per usual. Rinse and repeat. You usually donât pay her much mind, but somewhere along the line, you recall one thing that she said that really stuck to you.Â
âYou know he only comes here for you, right? The boyâs absolutely whipped.â
You remembered those words very precisely. You laughed it off back then, and brushed it off like a mere joke.
But now, as the months slowly pass by and Phainon becomes more and more familiar to you?
Now, youâre not so sure.
Itâs a Tuesday morning when youâre hit with the reality of what it's like to work in a place like this.
Tuesdays are usually quiet for youâno morning classes, just a slow start to the day and maybe a shift if you feel up to it. Youâve been picking up more of them lately, partly for the extra cash, and partly so you can keep taking the morning train with Mydei, because, well, heâs nice to be around. Itâs always been a routine. And routine is niceâsomething to expect because itâs familiar and predictable.Â
At least, itâs supposed to be, until today.
The cafeâs running far busier than usual: Aglaeaâs handling most of the drink prep, so youâre running the register and tidying the counter. Phainon hasnât come in yetânot that youâre looking for him. Of course not. (You most definitely are.)
If only you knew what was going to happen to you today, you'd wish heâd shown up a little earlier.
The line filters through smoothly enough at first. Youâve just finished taking a personâs order when someone new suddenly walks up to the counter. Some guy in his early thirties, definitely not a studentâat least, not from your campusâand something about the way heâs already grinning at you before you even greet him makes your stomach churn a little.
âMorning, sweetheart.â Here we go. His eyes skim over your name tag a little too slowly, and then glide over toward something else completely before meeting your eyes again, all with a sleazy smile that sets off every single internal alarm youâve got in your body. Stop. Donât let him get to you. âThat your real name?â
You blink, tapping incessantly on the counter: sharp and repetitive, like maybe heâd take the hint. Not only was he making you uncomfortable, but the line behind him was only getting longer. This was messing up the flow of thingsâit was all just supposed to be another peaceful morning. A little hectic, maybe, but still peaceful. âUh, yeah. What can I get started for you today?â
He leans in, resting his elbows on the register counter like youâre a damn bartender and youâre supposed to entertain him. Does he even know where he is? âYou know, someone with a pretty face like you shouldnât be stuck behind a counter all day.â
Yikes, you almost want to say. Still, you try to keep yourself composed. To not give a guy like this the time of day, because youâre certainly above that. Youâve heard this type of shit countless times before. Offhand remarks, compliments that they think are so smooth. Most guys get bored when you donât play along. âWhat drink would you like, sir?â
He finally orders after that. Just something simpleâa black coffee, no frills, easy enough to make on your own without bothering Aglaeaâexcept he doesnât leave after paying. Just hovers over you as you make his drink, eyes watching your every move like you were something to be scrutinized. You know this isnât new. Weird customers happen. Creepy guys happen. Youâve told yourself that so many times, and yet, something in your chest tugs uncomfortably at his stare.Â
The weight of his gaze follows you⊠from keeping your hands busy on the machine, to closing the hot coffee with a lid. You hand him his drink, offering a tight-lipped smile and wincing when he holds on just a second too long the moment your fingers brush his. Please, just take it and leave. âHere you go.â
âYou got a boyfriend?â Oh, wow. No, it gets worse. What the hell were you expecting?
His words feel like a slap to the face. You blinkâonce, twice, then inhale sharply, forcing yourself to keep calm. Youâve handled people like this in the pastâpersistent, entitled guys who are far too old to be flirting with college girls behind counters. You canât show that his words are getting to you. You wonât. Not here, not when the morning has just started, because for fuckâs sake, itâs too early for this. âIâm just here to make coffee.â
The stranger laughs, holding his hands up in mock defense as if you were the one overreacting. âHey, Iâm just asking. Youâve got a nice smile. I bet all the boys here line up just for you, huh? Forget about the coffee.âÂ
Youâre saved by the next customer stepping forward, and you finally let out the breath youâve been holding this entire time. Aglaea, who caught the tail end of the conversation and his last remark, shoots you a brief look. You just shake your head at herâitâs nothing to escalate yet. Youâre used to people like him. Itâs fine.
Really, itâs fine. Itâs just one of those days. Although it feels like youâre convincing yourself that more than anything.
The guy finally leaves, but the lingering feeling he leaves behind doesnât. It clings to you like staticâlike a lump in your throat that you canât swallow, or a tightness in your chest that you canât shake off. No matter how many deep breaths you take, it still stays. Your heart is still hammering, and the feeling sticks to you, deep in the pit of your stomach. That godawful sense that his eyes are still on you, even though you know theyâre long gone.Â
It feels⊠gross. You hate that itâs still there. That it even got to you like this in the first place, because usually, it never does.
Phainon comes in a little later that day, just like always, with that pretty charm of his and the usual order, because itâs routine. His presence makes you feel a little bit better about today, although you canât shake the feeling off, no matter how hard you try. Still, him being here is nice and familiar in a way thatâs difficult to describe. Like at the very least, a small weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you appreciate that. You really do.
He leans casually against the counter, peering up at you with that same lopsided smile. And you smile back at him.Â
Or try to, anyway.Â
You smile at him as if nothing happened, all forced, and frankly, a little bit watery. Itâs the kind of smile you wear when you donât want anyone to worry. And itâs exactly that. You donât want him to worry about your situation. Instead, you focus on the mantra youâve been repeating this whole day: that shit like this happens all the time, and itâs just something you need to deal with. Over and over, like itâs supposed to make you feel better. (It doesnât. It really doesnât. In fact, the pit in your stomach only grows.)
But of course, Phainon notices the difference. He always doesâheâs more perceptive than he lets on. But he figures that if you just donât want to talk about it, then he wonât push any further. Just tilts his head at you with that same, puppy-like grin and says softly, âDid you miss me?â
And god, for a second, you almost say yes. It nearly catches at the tip of your tongueâthis fragile, foolish, yesâand for a moment, your carefully constructed mask nearly slips. You almost tell him everything. About the guy, or the way your skin still crawls from earlier. Or maybe that tightness in your chest that just wonât go away.Â
But instead, you smile. Because thatâs all you can manage right now.Â
You just shake your head and laugh, ringing up his order and scribbling his name on a cup like you usually do. Like how it always is. Your hands tremble so very slightly, just enough for you to noticeâand enough for him to see it, too. You feel it: Phainonâs gaze lingering on you. But itâs not intrusive or scrutinizing like that guyâs stare, no, right now, he was worried for you. His eyes donât ask for anything; instead, his gaze is the kind that says Iâm here, even when youâre not ready to talk about it.
And youâre not. Not yet.
So, you focus on the present. As if routine could shield you from the heaviness of the rock sitting on your chest, or from the way your eyes are stinging with tears when you turn your back on him for a moment. You appreciate his silent concern and all, but you pretend not to notice.Â
Because really, itâs just another Tuesday. And if you stop believing otherwise, then this little facade of yours might just break. And you canât let that happen.
You manage to convince yourself over the next few days that the encounter was the end of it. Just a minor disruption to your routine, and nothing more. That maybe heâd gone off to bother someone elseâsomebody whoâs preferably his own age. (Not that youâd want any poor soul to be subjected to that, but youâd prefer it to just not be you.)
You didnât have any shifts for the rest of the week, and todayâSaturdayâis the first time youâre back. And for a minute, things seem like theyâre back to normal. It feels like youâre integrating into the swing of it all again: the morning rush has passed, Aglaeaâs handling the register, and youâre in the back of the cafe, cleaning up the dirty tables from earlier that day.Â
Itâs routine. How itâs always been.
In an ideal reality, youâd want to say that you didnât let that situation get to youâreally get to youâyet in actuality, youâre completely on autopilot. Itâs been a weird weekâfar more emotionally exhausting and nerve-wracking than usual, but you try and get by. Plus, you get to see your favorite golden boy (he doesnât know that heâs been promoted to that title yet, but youâd prefer not to tell him either way for the sake of his ego) soon. Not that youâre looking forward to it or anything. (Who are you even kidding anymore?)
You donât hear the bell jingle at first. Donât even notice him. That stranger thatâs been living in the back of your head ever since that shitty Tuesday morning. Youâre too busy cleaning one of the tables in the back with a wet rag, humming along with the music playing overhead as a futile way to calm your nerves, until you hear it.
âThere you are,â he says, all too casual, and it makes your heart stop. You know that voice, and you never thought youâd have to hear it again.Â
You freeze, eyes widening, and your grip on the rag tightens like a deer in headlights. Heâd deliberately gone to the back just to look for you. What the fuck? âThought I mightâve scared you off the other day.â
You straighten up and look at him. Heâs got that same sleazy grin, the very same one that made your stomach churn, and it makes you sick. You donât say anything. Youâre not sure if itâs because youâre paralyzed with fear or because of the anger that you feel bubbling up in your throat. Or maybe some sick combination of both. He gestures to the cup of black coffee in his hand, ordered from Aglaea, no doubt. âYour little friend made this coffee for me. Wish it was you who made it, though.âÂ
âI was just trying to be friendly, you know.â He steps closer, and you step back until youâre right up against the table youâre cleaning, with nowhere to go. âYou donât gotta look so scared of me, sweetheart.â
âIâm working,â you say, and you hate the way your voice breaks. âPlease leave me alone.â
âOh, come on.â He laughs, and you think you hate that far more. Hate how small you feel right now, how unbothered he is, and the way your heart feels like itâs about to hammer straight out of your chest. You choke, trying to find your voice to call out for Aglaea, or anybody at this point, but all that comes out is a stuttering gasp for air. âDonât be like that.â
Then, he reaches for you, and thatâs when something in you finally breaks. âDonât touch me!â
It all happens fast, too fastâhis hand brushes too close to your waist, that same sleazy smile on his faceâand you shove him in retaliation. His drink spills all over you, and hot coffee sloshes over your apron. Youâre lucky that your uniform catches most of it, but you feel the burning sting all across your arm. And it hurts.
You gasp in pain, stumbling as the adrenaline hits you like a damn freight train. Your knees slightly buckle beneath you, and your vision goes fuzzy at the edges. Aglaea finally yells out something from the front, but you canât hear. Not with the blood rushing in your ears. And the way you canât seem to breathe, no matter how hard you try. The adrenaline has you burning from humiliation more than the actual heat. âFuckââ
Your heart races. Your breaths come too fast and too shallow, your chest tight and trembling. You canât focus. You canât breathe. You crouch slightly, bracing your weight against the table because the world is spinning, and it feels like youâre about to collapse. You barely register the bell over the cafe door chiming open. Donât even hear the footsteps, or the way somebody ushers that stranger away from you. Maybe that was Aglaea. You donât know. But you feel itâa steady warmth kneeling next to you, not directly touching, just close enough to anchor you.
âHeyââ the voice is soft and grounding. A stark contrast to that strangerâs grating voice just moments ago. âIâm right here. Heâs gone, and Aglaeaâs handling it. Just focus on my voice, okay?â
You turn towards the figure.
Even through your blurry vision, and even with your eyes stinging with tears, you know itâs Phainon. Your favorite golden-boy, Phainon. You donât know how he got here so fastâmaybe he was just arriving, or maybe heâd already been there. You donât know, and frankly, you donât care. All that matters is that heâs here. And that man isnâtânot anymore.
âP-Phainon,â you sob. You try and focus on him, on his presence and just everything about him that anchors you, but your vision is far too blurry and your breath is stuttering painfully in your throat. For a moment, you begin to wonder if youâre just hallucinating this all. âPhaiâ I canât breathe-â
âI know,â he says softly, and he gently takes your hand into his, and thatâs when you realize that youâre in fact not just imagining things. Phainon is very much real, and he cares so much, and that thought alone almost makes you start crying for a completely different reason. He places the flat of your palm over his chest as a way to guide you. âBreathe with me, okay? Just feel my heartbeat and match me.â
âIn through your nose,â he murmurs. He draws a deep breath himself, slow and deliberate, and you try, your focus narrowing to the rise and fall of his chest beneath your hand. âGood. Now out.â
You try. You really do. You shakily breathe out, even though itâs cut off by your sniffles and the way your lip trembles ever so slightly.Â
âAgain,â he repeats. Itâs okay, though. Because Phainon is willing to wait. He always does, for you. âThatâs it. Youâre doing good. So good.â
You repeat that exercise a few more times, slow and steady, until your adrenaline begins to wear off a little. Your vision is still blurry, and your breath catches in your throat.
And then, without thinkingâwithout even meaning toâyou reach out for him.
âHey, heyâŠâ Your fingers curl into the fabric of his hoodie, and you bury your face against his chest. And thatâs when the dam breaks. The mask you had been so carefully maintaining this entire week shatters, and you quietly cry into his chest. You feel his arms wrap around you instinctively, one hand steady on your back. âIâve got you, I promise.â
And maybe it's the way he says it, or how he didnât even hesitate to rush in and help you in that moment, but it makes you cry a little harder. Not in a bad way, but itâs that notionâthat he cares, and doesnât let you go. You think you could fall apart; shatter into a million pieces, and Phainon would still be there to catch every single part of you and put you all back together.
âYouâre safe now,â he softly murmurs against your hair. âIâm right here.â
The world feels quieter like this. And for a moment, itâs just the steady beat of his heart and the way he quietly holds you and rubs gentle circles into your back as you sniffle, like heâs keeping everything else away.
âI didnât know what to do,â you whisper, breath still shaky. âI froze up. I didnât want to make it a big deal.â
âBut it was,â he says firmly. âAnd you didnât deserve any of that.â
Youâre too tired to argue. You stay like that for a while, tucked into the warmth of his chest, until slowly, your breathing steadies out and your trembling stops. Itâs nice, you think. The feeling of just letting someone hold youâletting you be without asking for a single thing in return.Â
Then, he gently coaxes you out of the wet apron and gently wipes your uniform underneath with a napkin, getting the remnants out to the best of his ability. Gentle. Thatâs the only thing in your mind. Heâs gentle, so gentle, as if youâll shatter at the slightest movement if heâs not. He pauses when he catches sight of your arm where the hot coffee hit, his expression tightening ever so slightly. âCan I take a look?â
You meekly nod. Slowly, he eases your sleeve up to examine the skin. Thereâs a faint, angry red splotch blooming acrossâhis fingers hovering over the burn but not enough to touch it, like heâs afraid heâll hurt you even more. You notice itâthe way his demeanor changes ever so slightly, and the way a tint of guilt flickers behind his eyes. âYou should run this under cool water soon, before it gets worse. Iââ
âYou look disappointed.â You manage a weak smile, teasingly looking up at him even though your voice cracks a little. âDonât look at me like that⊠like you shouldâve been here sooner. You didnât know. But youâre here now, exactly when I need you⊠and thatâs the only thing that matters to me.â
Phainon just deflates at that. He doesnât try to argue. You just hope he doesnât beat himself up over it.
A quiet moment passes before he shifts, just slightly enough to shrug off his hoodie and gently ease you into it, covering your coffee-stained uniform underneath. Itâs still warm from him, smelling faintly of espresso and something sweet, so very him. And for the first time, you realize:
Phainon really does care for you. Heâs really not just a playful flirt anymoreâyouâre far beyond that stage. And that thought doesnât scare you this time, no, it softens something from within you instead. Itâs loving. Nice, and leaves a warm feeling lingering in your chest. You think you can get used to this.
Aglaeaâs voice cuts through the silence, although itâs softer than usual when she calls out from the front. âTake her home, Phai. Iâve got the rest of her shift.â
You glance toward her. Sheâs watching the two of you with something between fondness and worry. You make a mental note to text her later, to give a proper thank youâbut for now, all you can do is give her a small, grateful nod.
Beside you, Phainon stands slowly. And when he turns to face you, he doesnât hesitateânot even for a secondâas he holds out his hand.
âLetâs get you out of here. Youâve been through more than enough today,â He murmurs, and you really, really couldnât agree more.
The drive back home is quiet.Â
Phainon doesnât push you to talk. He doesnât push you to do anything, really. Just basks in the silence and drives, with one hand steady on the wheel while the other rests near yours on the console. Dangerously close. Close enough that if you reached out, youâd find him waiting. (What you donât know is that Phainon will always be waitingâheâd wait for as long as it takes. As long as itâs you, heâd even wait forever. He just hopes that youâll realize that one day.)
You watch the streetlights blur past the windows in soft, golden streaks. The burn across your arm has turned into a dull ache, and for the first time all day, you finally let yourself breathe.Â
A few minutes pass before Phainon finally breaks the silence. His words are soft and careful, almost like heâs afraid to shatter whatever calm youâve found in the quietness of his car. âDo you remember the day we first met?â
You blink at him, startled by the sudden question. âThe day you told me you wanted your coffee âextra sweet, just like meâ? Yeah. Kind of hard to forget.â
That earns you a small, breathy laugh from him. But then, to your surprise, he admits, âI donât even like sweet coffee.â
You turn to stare at him. âWhat?â
âI donât like sweet coffee.â He glances at you, almost sheepish. âNever did.â
Youâre genuinely confused now. Okay, so youâve actually been talking to a lunatic this entire time. ââŠWhat.â
He laughs againâbut itâs a little more nervous this time. âWhen I first saw you behind the counter, I wanted to talk to you. Real bad. So I panicked, and ordered the first thing I saw on the menu⊠and asked for extra vanilla so that I could use that stupid pickup line on you.â
Your mouth falls open. Yup, this confirms it. He cannot be serious. âYouâre telling me⊠youâve been drinking that for months? When you didnât even like it in the first place? I thought you were just a slow drinker or something!â
âWell, I figured if I kept ordering it, youâd start remembering me by it.â He scratches the back of his neck, looking almost embarrassed now. âEven though it kinda tastes like cough syrup to me.â
You blink again. Then, you shake your head and laugh softly. âHoly shit. Youâre actually a dumbass.â
He smiles at that. Really smiles. âYeah. But it worked, didnât it?â
You pause.
And maybe youâre tired, maybe youâre still fragile from everything earlier, but your voice softens when you reply, âI wouldâve remembered you even without the stupid drink. You didnât have to do all of that.â
Phainon glances at you, and for once, he doesnât have anything to say to that. For a moment, itâs quiet again. You glance at his face. Heâs avoiding your gaze now, cheeks tinged pink, the tips of his ears flushed too. It fills you with something gentle, like seeing a boyish version of him peeking through his usual charm. âIn all seriousness, though⊠thank you. For today. For being there for me.â
He swallows softly. âI think I got the message.â
âNot just for today.â Your chest tightens, but in a good way this time. âFor all the times before, too.â
For all the times youâve kept me company in that shitty job of mine.Â
You make sure to look at him now, really look at him. You think he gets the memo. Phainon, the same golden-boy youâd just laughed about before, brushing him off as just another pretty regular. But now? Being with him is softer. Less perfect and flirty, yet somehow heâs more beautiful for it. Phainon, your favorite golden-boy. Even though heâs a crazy-golden boy for pouring all that money down the drain just to flirt with a damn barista.
âI mean⊠youâve been forcing yourself to drink that shit just to have an excuse to talk to me,â you murmur. âWhen I couldâve made you something better.â
He hesitates, then mumbles under his breath, almost like he didnât mean for you to hear it: âYouâre worth it, though.â
That nearly stops your heart.
âPhainonâŠâ
He glances sideways at you, all shy now and eyes lingering so beautifully over your face. âYeah?â
You smile. And even though this day has beaten you down completely, you really mean it when you say, âI think Iâm gonna be okay.â
He looks at you for a long moment. And then he smiles backâbut itâs not that cheeky grin youâre used to. No, itâs something far gentler. Like youâre back in high school, writing your crushâs name with a myriad of colorful gel pens and a tooth-rotting smile. Something so genuine it makes your throat ache and your ribs cave in.
âYeah,â he says softly. âI know you will.â
The car pulls to a stop.
When you open the door and step out, Phainon stays still. His hoodie is still wrapped around you, warm with his scent, and you almost never want to take it off, you think. He watches you walk toward your building, his gaze lingering long after youâve gone inside.
You remember Aglaeaâs words to you all those months ago a little bit too well:
âYou know he only comes here for you, right? The boyâs absolutely whipped.â
At the time, youâd only rolled your eyes at her. But you knew, somewhere deep down, despite how much you wave her teasing off sometimes, you know sheâs perceptive. And you fear even more that sheâs right.
And somewhere in that car, you think that Phainon has that same realization, too.
OMG that mydei fic was so good.. u said ur phainon part was almost done as soon as possible⊠i am waiting happily
do u ever think youâll make a part two where he does confess?? any parts where the love interests collide??
haihai anon and thank you!! to answer your question YES i was planning on making a sequel once i finish the first half of the series where each of them confess to you đđ but right now im just finishing up each respective first part!
itâs difficult trying to juggle your college life, a minimum wage cafe job, and the emotional chaos of falling a little bit in love with people you definitely shouldnât be falling for: the guy who takes the same train as you every morning without fail, the golden-retriever boy with a pretty smile who keeps on buying coffee just to talk to you, and your sarcastic nerd of a roommate who âswears he could care less about your wellbeingâ (he is in fact lying).
itâs fine, right? youâre totally fine.
(yeah, no. you are absolutely not.)
other parts: phainon and anaxa (to be added)
content: female reader, modern + college au, reverse harem trope, fluff, hurt/comfort & crack overload, mydei is balls deep in love with you (all three of them Highkey are), reader gets harassed by a weird customer in phainonâs part and has a panic attack, mentions of reader being sick and experiencing the canon event of burnout in anaxaâs, reader overall struggles with the College Experienceâą but gradually learns how to navigate it, very self-indulgent and based off of my personal experiences

MYDEI â COMMUTE BUDDIES (OR MAYBE ⊠MORE) ?!
thereâs this guy you always see on the train every morning, and it doesnât take long for you to find out that you both go to the same school. heâs quiet and kind of unfairly attractive and youâre totally normal about it. exceptâspoiler alertâyouâre not. like, at all. (but neither is he!)
You always catch the 7:00 train. Sharp.
At least, on the days when youâre not scrambling out of bed and throwing on the most presentable outfit your closet has to offer, with approximately three minutes to spare before you miss the last early train and get stuck in the disaster known as rush hour. Thankfully, days like that havenât been coming too often for you lately.
Itâs always been the 7:00 one. Always the same train car, and sometimes even the same seatâif itâs vacant. Any train earlier than that gets you to campus way too early. Any later and youâre stuck in a shitty crowded car with an onset headache to plague you for the rest of the morning, and thatâs the very last thing you want.
The thing about your life lately is that it has you in a damn frenzy most of the time. And weirdly enough, it's routines like thisâeven something as simple as setting a designated seat for yourselfâthat keep you sane. A little pocket of normalcy that you think is nice, because it's familiar, and something to expect.
And then thereâs him.Â
Youâve seen him every morning for weeks now, down to the same train car, even. Youâve seen people from your campus come and go on the 7:00 train, but heâs always in the same one as you. Or at least, most of the time. You almost expect him to be here nowadays (for no particular reasonâitâs not like heâs really pretty or anything), and get a little bit disappointed whenever heâs not. He always has that quiet energy to himâhood up, headphones in, and leaning slightly against the window with a huge duffel bag in between his legs that youâre pretty sure would kill you if you ever had to carry it across campus.
He doesnât talk. You sometimes wonder what heâs listening to, but never dare to actually ask. Other times, you see him doomscrolling on his phone and laughing (at what, you donât even want to knowâInstagram reels are becoming extremely questionable nowadays), yet you feel yourself unconsciously smiling too.
You swear youâre not a stalker. Heâs just a friend crush (thatâs definitely all there is to it), and youâre just extremely observant.
Youâre not totally sure when you realized that you both go to the same school, but one day, you noticed him get off the same stop as you, and watched him disappear into the general direction of your campus building. Now, it just feels like common knowledge. Of course you go to the same school as him. Of course he almost always takes the same train as you. Heâs practically a part of your morning routine at this point, which is⊠weird. But oddly comforting, in a way. Youâve never actually spoken to each other, but youâve noticed how he glances up at you whenever you board. Just once, brief and subtle. It makes you wonder if he recognizes you, too.
It gets to a point where it starts feeling less of a coincidence and more like a pattern that youâve started to look forward to.
The day that you finally talk to him for the first time, itâs raining.Â
You stayed up far too late finishing a paper thatâs already past due, and it showsâeveryone on board could see that youâre only running on fumes. You manage to sit down onto the nearest seat with heavy eyes, pulling your hood down with splatters of rainwater all over it. With your earbuds loosely in, you donât even have the energy to check if heâs on the train, and just let the sound of the rain pitter-pattering against the window gently lull you to sleep.
You fall into a dreamless slumber for the entire train ride. You donât notice the train eventually slowing at your campus stop. Donât notice the other students gathering their things, already making their way to leave.Â
Oh, but Mydei does.
Ever since you stepped on the train this morning, heâs been a little bit concerned for you. You didnât even stare out the window like you usually do. Didnât spare a second glance at your phone, or bother to look in his direction at all. You just closed your eyes and slept like you hadnât in days (and judging by the way you practically melted in your seat the second you had the chance, maybe he was right).
So when he glances over his shoulder, just as heâs about to leave, and still sees you completely knocked out?
He freezes. And then almost lets out a laugh, not because itâs funny (well, maybe it is a little funny), but because heâd never truly admit it out loud, but you looked a little⊠cute like that. Which is not a thought he should be having about a complete stranger that heâs never even talked to. What the hell is wrong with him?
The train jerks, and the doors begin to open, and Mydei realizes he needs to act fastâboth for his sake and yours. He steps toward you quickly, traversing everyone thatâs still shuffling out the doors, and hesitates for only a fraction of a second before gently tapping your shoulder. âHey.â
Nothing. Heâs almost amused. You sleep like a rock.Â
So he tries again, tapping a little more incessantly this time as the speaker overhead begins to announce the next station, which is in a completely different city from your campus location⊠so Mydeiâs growing concern starts to become a little bit more warranted. Taking the train back was not about to be a part of his morning, and heâs certain that you donât want it to be a part of yours, too. âHey, this is our stop.â
He almost considers shaking you awake, but your eyes finally flutter open, just in time. You blink repeatedly to try and ground yourself. â...Huh?â
âYouâre gonna miss the station,â says the mysterious guy standing over you. He almost⊠looks a little familiar. If only you could see. âCome on.â
Your vision begins to clear, albeit still fogged with exhaustion. Heâs⊠tall, blonde, and wearing a dark hoodie. He also has a nice voice. And heâs kind ofâ
Wait.
Wait a minute.
You finally register whoâs standing in front of you.
Holy shit. Did I die? Is this heaven?
You donât actually say that out loud, by some miracle. Heâs even more attractive when youâre not staring at him from across the train car, and better yet, heâs right in front of you. Itâs certainly a pretty sightâthereâs warmth in his voice, the same calmness in his expression, and your wildly beating heart is still trying to figure out why heâs talking to you, of all people.
And thenâall of a suddenâhis words finally catch up to you, and so does the terrifying realization that the train is still very much at your stop, and it will not wait for you to finish gawking at the man in front of you like heâs some sort of eye-candy (well, he certainly isâbut thatâs besides the point).
âShitââ you say, immediately getting up on your feet and grabbing your bag from the floor, avoiding the questionable gazes of the other passengers. You hear him laugh beside you, and thatâs when you decide that even if you arenât a dead man yet, youâre certainly about to meet your end now. âHoly shitâthank you so much,â
You step off the train with him in a daze, just barely missing the doors closing behind you. The rainâs stopped, and you heavily consider jumping off the station, or maybe even lying down on the tracks. Any plan works, so long as you never resurface on Earth ever again.
You donât know what to say as you gradually regain your composure, and you almost want the ground to swallow you whole at this point.Â
But then he looks over as you both start walking across the platform towards campus, and finally breaks the unbearable silence. âYou looked so comfortable, I almost didnât wake you.â
You blink up at him, face caught somewhere between amusement and lingering embarrassment. âYou really considered leaving me behind? Itâs a pain in the ass to get all the way back here.â
âI know. And I thought about it,â he says with a genuine straight face, so deadpan that you almost do a double-take. For a moment, it seemed like he wasnât joking, but the way his eyes softenâjust so very slightlyâsays otherwise. âBut then I figured Iâd save you all the trouble, you know? You looked like you had enough going on.â
His words make you laugh, startling you with how easily it comes out. You canât help it. Heâs funny, in an almost unintentional way, and suddenly, he doesnât feel so distant anymore. He lets out a small smile too, just barely, and thereâs a strange warmth blooming in your chest. Itâs almost like his gaze (which holds something akin to that of the sun), is slowly cracking through the clouds and deciding to settle there, right under the crevices of your ribcage.
It feels⊠nice.
âSeriously, though,â you mumble, a little quieter this time. âThanks. For waking me up. I, uhâdidnât catch your name?â
âMydei,â he says, and maybe itâs the way he says it, or maybe even the way heâs looking at youâlike youâre familiar to himâit makes you feel like a little kid getting their favorite toy on Christmas Day. You say your name in return, and he nods, repeating it under his breath as if he were already familiarizing himself with it. Absolutely priceless. âIâll see you tomorrow, I guess?â
You pause at that. You werenât even sure if heâd noticed you after all this time. But now? Heâs looking directly at you and waiting, like this little routine of yours was something you really did share this entire time, and itâs something to expect for both of you now. âYeah, of course. See you tomorrow.â
And for the first time since you started taking the 7:00 train, youâre actually looking forward to it.
Itâs silly, maybe. But thatâs where it all begins, your little friendship with Mydei, and it's also when things start to change. Your designated seat shifts to the one right next to his. He starts saving it with his duffle bag before you finally board the train, and it becomes another part of your routine that neither of you has to talk about. And you also never miss the way his eyes light up when he sees you every morning, like youâre the one piece of the day that heâs been waiting for.Â
With Mydei, thereâs never any pressure to fill the space with wordsâthe silence is actually something you find comfort in. Some days, you talk the whole ride to campus about anything and everything, until, much to your dismay, you have to part ways for class (those are the days you love the most). On other days, you rarely talk at all. Instead, you exchange a few words and sooner or later find yourself asleep right next to him, while he makes sure that you donât miss your stop (like what almost happened before).
But that never happens anymore. Not when youâre with him.
And then thereâs the day it happensâthe day youâre running on 2 hours of sleep again (unfortunately, days like that have been finding you more often recently, regardless of how much you try and take care of yourself), a vending machine granola bar, and a prayer that youâll actually make it home without collapsing.
Itâs past 8 p.m. when you finally drag yourself onto the train.
The fluorescent lights faintly hum overhead, and the seats are half-empty. Itâs currently the awkward in-between hour, but youâre just glad that the evening rush period is winding down, and youâre granted a little bit of peace. Your bag feels far heavier than it should be, your hoodieâs too thin, and for a second, you seriously consider lying down on the seats. Thankfully, the sanitation risks of doing that, as well as your remaining decorum, both outweigh just how tired you are.
For a moment, youâre too tired to scan your surroundings. Your body moves on autopilotâone step after the otherâand you donât even register the familiar tuft of blonde hair sitting in the corner until he lifts his head. âMydei?â
He blinks. Then, lets out a smileâsoft and easy, and you think that sight is perhaps the only good thing to come out of today. You rarely ever see Mydei on the train back from campus, since you have conflicting schedules that never overlap with each other. Sometimes, you work overtime at the cafe if you ever need extra money. On other daysâdays that you literally have to pray for, your roommate Anaxa graciously offers you a ride home whenever the damn stars align and his schedule allows it (although it rarely does, much to your chagrin). And finally, there are daysâgrueling days like today, when there are far too many things to do after classes, even though thereâs nothing more you want to do than go home.
You think that seeing him for the second time today is exactly what you needed right now. Like for once, the universe had finally granted you a cosmic favor.
âOh. Hey,â he says, and he moves his duffle bag to make room for you, just like what he always does in the mornings. âDidnât expect to see you here.â
âMe too,â you mumble, sitting down next to him with a huff. You rub your eyes, which are already thick with exhaustion, and the familiar tiredness almost feels verbatim to that one day when he woke you up. At least the chair gives you a little bit of respite. And his presenceâsteady and familiarâdoes more to ground you than you expect. âWhatâre you doing out this late?â
âJust finished up at the gym,â he replies coolly, and you notice the way his hair is still slightly damp and smells slightly of cedarwood shampoo, clean and warm and way too good for your current mental state. (Heâs swapped out his usual hoodie for a black compression shirt, and⊠Okay. How the hell is he not more popular with the girls?)Â
Youâre no fool, you wish you could ogle a bit more at the way that tight shirt hugs his muscles for a little bit longer, if only you werenât running on sheer willpower right now. But still, you make the effort to stay awake. All so you could talk to him. âWhat about you?â
âStayed after class. Had to finish a project, and time got away from me.â He nods at your words, doing a once-over at your appearance. Itâs not in a judgemental way, itâs never judgemental with Mydeiâitâs just in that quiet, observant way that he always seems to do things.Â
The train car hums. You notice that youâre not exactly brushing arms with him, but your hoodie sleeve is close enough that itâs touching his whenever the train bumps. The proximity is enough for you to feel safe. Familiar.Â
âYou okay?â he asks after a beat, a little quieter this time. âYou⊠need to learn to take care of yourself better.â
âI know,â you say, and you certainly do. And thatâs the thing. Itâs hard to take care of yourself when youâre simultaneously learning how to juggle fifty things at once, when at most, you were only ever equipped to juggle five. But itâs also challenges like these that help you grow a little more as a person. Youâre trying. Even when it feels like youâre on your wits' end sometimes, like how tonight has you, youâre still trying your best. And hopefully, itâll all pay off someday. âI just havenât been able to sleep much. Iâll be okay.â
Mydei doesnât push it. He just shifts slightly, letting his shoulder tilt a little towards you as if it were a silent offer. You glance at him, and he doesnât look back, but you know that he sees you anyway. Really sees you, even though this entire day, youâve been feeling nothing more than completely see-through.
You two fall into silence after that, his soft, quiet breathing filling your senses. Itâs familiarâthe one youâre used to with Mydei, the kind of silence you get when youâre too tired to talk, but want to be there for each other anyway. And it's enough for both of you. It always has been.
Youâre not exactly sure when your eyes flutter shut, but at some point in the train ride, the world feels a little fuzzier and a little quieter. The culmination of everything exhausting youâve felt today finally hits you all at once, and you canât help but fall asleep.
Then it happensâsomewhere in your unconsciousness, your head tips to the side and lands softly against his shoulder.
And he freezes.
You donât see itâhow his breath hitches, how his jaw tenses and then quickly softens. How heâs afraid to move a single inch, in fear that heâll wake you. How he swallows hard, like maybe if he pretends to be calm, he can stop his heart from racing. But damn, itâs racing like hell, and heâs anything but calm.
Because hereâs the thing: If youâve started falling for Mydei after all those shared mornings with him, heâs already a step ahead because heâs definitely fallen harder. Heâs had a teensy little crush on you⊠for a while. Itâs the easy, slow kindâthe kind where youâve begun to bury a little hole in his heart, and he doesnât notice until you've already sunk your teeth in and heâs too far gone to just back out. Youâve carved such a special place within him without even trying⊠and now heâs got you asleep on his shoulder, like itâs nothing?
And maybe to you, it truly is nothing. But to him? It feels like everything right now, and more.
He has one hand hesitating in the air before carefully resting it on the seat behind youânot quite touching (no matter how much he wants to put his arm around your shoulder), but enough to shield you if the train ever sways. Heâs so careful with you. Like youâll break if he does something wrong. Like this moment matters, and that itâs far more than just you being exhausted. A part of his mind is trying to convince him that this was purely accidental, and that you didnât mean to fall asleep on his shoulder. But then another part of him says that you trust him enough to be in this close proximity with him, regardless of whether you meant to do that or not.
And yet, he canât help but take this opportunity to really look at youâas if you hung the stars yourself, because he knows that heâll keep looking at you that way, even if you didnât mean to do any of this. Even if you donât know just exactly what youâre doing to him.Â
And then you shift.
You nuzzle in a little closer, nose brushing the edge of his sleeve, and mumble something into his shirt that sounds a little something like, â...Youâre really comfy.âÂ
Fuck.
Mydei literally forgets how to breathe.Â
Because now, his suspicions were just confirmedâthis was, in fact, not accidental, and he doesnât know how long he can keep pretending that this is all casual to him anymore. Because this is anything but casual. You mean something to him, and that something is deep, even though he's only known you through these shared mornings and train rides. Moments like these are so simple, yet he wouldnât trade them for the world.
And this is also the moment where he has his second realization: He needs to tell you how he feels, and soon, before he completely loses it. Before being your shoulder rest on the train is the closest thing he ever gets to holding you. To ever being truly yours.
Because if this keeps happeningâand you keep looking at him the way you do, keep dozing off against him like this, mumbling half-asleep about how comfy he is to lie onâŠ
Yeah, heâs gonna be a complete goner.Â
And the worst part? Mydei doesnât think he minds all too much.
Just wanted to let you know that every once in a while I reread your "die with a smile" fic and cry and this cycle repeats over and over again because I love the way you wrote that fic. it haunts me in my sleep and I cant stop thinking about it when I'm awake. that's how much I loved it...

afab gn reader ïŸ words 1.2k áŻœ sleepy jing yuan. you two warm yourself up during the cold night. bit messy but very loving. one or two instances of his cock tapping the cervix. creampie. cuddles and some compliments. petnames â dear, love áŻœ ADULT CONTENT ïŸ MINORS DO NOT INTERACT áŻœ
An uninviting chill behind the warm walls of your private chamber â wind and darkness enveloping the world as it succumbs to the night, the summer weather long gone â keeps you away from unwrapping yourself out of the duvets. Here, you and your lover bask in the heated comfort created by each otherâs bodies, basking in the gold light from the candles scattered around the room.
Jing Yuanâs breathing is hot, burning against your skin, sweat coating his toned figure and glistening like jewels, pearls he doesnât need to buy as his own exertion adorns him beautifully â and you prefer him like that, anyway. Half-lidded eyes, sleepy, stay unmoved on your figure. His lips are bitten red as they ghost along the column of your neck and up to the shell of your ear. Thereâs an arm embracing your waist and another one keeping you close to his body, hand holding your wrist in a steady grip and pressed above your head, fingers entwined.
âDo you feel good?â He asks, face decorated with a smile before pressing a kiss right to your temple.
Your breathing hitches and legs wrap tighter around the generalâs midriff, ankles digging into the muscles of his lower back and urging him even closer.
âYes,â you murmur back, head lulling to the side, mouth parted open in silent moans and breathless pants, cheeks painted a deep shade of crimson. âMore, please.â
âHeh⊠what an insatiable hunger, hm?â
The man laughs quietly at your impatience, honey-coloured eyes filled with adoration as he observes the way your eyelashes flutter and eyebrows furrow. One of your hands reaches upwards, untangling itself from his hold, and grabs onto his hair, fingers curling into the fluffy mane.
âDonât tease me. Youâre going slow on purposeâŠâ
âNo, love. Iâm enjoying the moment with you underneath me.â
âMhm, liar.â
He groans and lowers himself until his mouth finds yours; the kiss turns into a sloppy mess, trying to align your lips together, but you love it. You love him. He feels like home, your new home, a safe harbour to your heart and soul.
Jing Yuan parts away and takes a shaky breath, almost a chuckle when his thrusts start to become even slower, yet, thankfully, deeper and stronger. To think that youâre able to take all of his cock inside is an achievement on its own, albeit he relishes in the pride that heâs the one who made you so wet and needy and worked you open with his fingers first that you had no trouble letting his hefty shaft sink into your heat.
You two should get ready for sleep, plans interrupted by the growing desire once your bodies touched under the plush of the bedsheets. The general was always a weak man for you, your beauty, your words and smiles and affection â heâd give you the stars if you asked him to. How could he refuse to pin you under his weight, to feel your hot skin whilst you two urgently loosened up your robes? No chance.
It is no different now, where you lay under his broad form and take each and every movement, every roll of his hips. Your walls clench around him, slick coating his cock and sticking to his balls whenever he holds the entirety of his length inside of you, purring at the pulsing of your aroused cunt.
The candlelights illuminate the sheen atop your chest and cheeks like little suns, stars dancing in the reflection from the sweat. You look like a deity in his eyes, someone who heâd happily spend his life worshipping and admiring.
And he does so. His best, actually, based on the sweet sounds that escape your throat.
You meet his rhythm, letting yourself bounce back and forth on his girth with a wet gasp when his blunt head prods against your deepest parts, teasing the cervix, once, twice. He feels like burning steel, melting hot and hard inside your walls, tip reaching and nudging where it is too pleasurable, but you donât want to stop, even reaching the brink of consciousness, dizzy at the tingling borders of your mind. The pleasure and warmth coil into a tight ribbon within the confines of your stomach, ready to burst out and set everything ablaze.
âI love you,â Jing Yuan breathes out, kissing the side of your face, trailing to your cheeks and then lips.
âI love you tooâŠâ
âHow sweet to hear it coming from you. Youâre so good to me, yes?â
âYes, but⊠only if you stop teasing. Come on, general, move a bit more.â
A hand let go of your waist, and his fingers find the little nub above your folds. His digits play with it, and your thighs tremble and tighten around his body, breath stuck in your throat before a loud whimper escapes your mouth.
âIâm close,â you tell him, nails digging into his shoulder and dragging along the expanse of his muscles, leaving red lines on his pale skin.
âYes, yes,â he pants out, forehead lowering until itâs pressing against yours. He smiles and his teeth nibble onto your lips, licking the spit and tasting the sweet remnants of spiced tea from your previous meal.
âPlease, I canât take it anymore, dearâŠâ
âCome for me, my love. Come undone for me.â
Jing Yuanâs name tumbles out from your tongue when your back arches and your pussy clamps around him, tight, unbearable. The coil within you snaps, heat engulfing your whole figure from the tip of your clit to the ends of your limbs and fingers as the ripples of pleasure keep crashing against your nerves. Again and again, relentlessly.
Your orgasm is enough to drive him into his own completion. The snug grip and wetness of your cunt, the finest embrace, get him to grunt and lick the sensitive flesh of your neck, all while the twisted knot within his loins unwinds at last. His essence spills into you and fills up the insides with the whiteness of his cum, some of it immediately sticking to his cock and creating a creamy ring around his girth. He rocks his hips a few more times before stilling completely, chest rising and falling in unison with your own.
After a minute or ten, the general moves off of you â his weight palpable and allowing you to take a deep breath, although itâs not that having him on top of you was anything bad â and pulls back the head of his softened cock, nudging your entrance one last time before letting himself slip out.
Quickly, he gathers you in his arms and moves your body sideways, laying down and resting his back on the softness of the mattress, bringing you close to his chest, still damp from the exercise.
âQuite handsome you are, general.â You grin.
âNot as quite beautiful as you.â
Among giggles and sleepy kisses, your fingers rake through the matted strands of his hair and brush the unruly crimson ribbon from his face. Amazing that it somehow managed to keep the loose ponytail intact, merely loosened up and letting some more of the silver locks fall on his shoulders.
