falling in front of seungmin drabble, first he laughs until he realizes ur actually hurt
not proof read soz ;_; hope u like!! sorry it took so long.
you had always been clumsy on your feet. not one day went by where you didn't hit your leg on a table or hit your head on the cupboard doors.
seungmin would always laugh, pressing a kiss on the sore spot or threatening the object that hurt you with his fists. he was sitting next to scrolling on his phone, looking up on the tv every minute or so.
the microwave beeps, sound ringing in your ears. object permanence had never been your strong suit, much to seungmins amuse. you raise yourself from the couch to grab the soup from the microwave, carelessly you had left the door open. as always. you place your soup on the bench, whipping back around to close the door.
thud, the dense sound of the door smacking you in the corner of the eye echoes. you fall to the ground, your butt smacking the floor.
"ow!" you yell, hand quickly rubbing the sore spot. you feel tears well in your eyes.
seungmin cackles in the background, laughing at the display of your clumsiness once again.
"seungmin!" you cry wriggling your body, the pain stings, thumping through your head. but he continues to laugh, almost choking on his own spit, legs flailing in the air.
it's not until he sees the tears in your eyes, one of your hands covering the offending hurt.
it takes him a second before he jumps to his feet, bending down and grabbing you by the sides of your arms. "lemme see."
you slowly take your hand from your eye, seungmin inspecting the area.
"oh my god..."
you let out a cry, fearful tone in your voice. "is it bad?"
"it's... bad, real bad."
you whine, stomping your feet. "is it really?"
he smiles, gently kissing blotchy area of your temple. "no i'm just playing, you gotta be more careful."
"i know." you sulk, face planting into your boyfriends chest.
she’s never been one for playing nice when it comes down to it. never had the patience to put up with someone following her around like a lost puppy. occasionally, she’d go out of her way. play nice with someone other than those she’s forced to, but she has too many secrets for that to be an actual thing. that, and people die. squishy bits get crushed. too tedious for the queen of hell.
given her position, meg isn’t too enthused with the gamble for her attention, let alone someone out right asking her to give them a chance. don’t they know she isn’t capable of chances? she isn’t capable of being friendly for more than five seconds before her brain actually explodes. it’s not her style.
“ so, you want me to accept you, hm? you want me to take you under my wing, when we both know i work just fine on my own? ” she scoffs, knowing full fucking well she’s unstable as all fuck.
it would be interesting, though. the change of pace. she doesn’t like blind followers; doesn’t like people who would rather make her happy instead of making her proud. good luck with that, though. right?
“ color me impressed, squeaks. ” she sighs, standing to straighten her jacket. “ you get one chance. disappoint me, you die. annoy me, you die. piss me off, well, you get the picture. let’s go. ” she shrugs, walking away on silent heels.
here’s to hoping you wanted to blow some things up, faith. she doesn’t take people in often.
@endxwithme thank you for letting this happen.
nightmare::
they hardly speak, let alone spend time together beyond early greetings and soft mumbles. it’s not awkward, right? still, she isn’t sure he’s done that great at trying to ‘patch things up’. it’s not like he’s tried to get to know her a day in his life, right? two sons. that’s all he needed. it’s okay. it’s only a little trauma. it’s not like she’s trying, either. they’re biding time until one of them gives the fuck up and leaves.
the extra body in her house accentuates her insomnia. maddie’s sitting so carefully in the corner of her living room. is she chain-chugging green tea and cigarettes? bet your ass, she is. it’s a christmas miracle she heard it. heard him.
that deepening of breath.
that exhale.
the scream.
she’s up without thinking, guest room door pushed open and kneeling beside the bed. it’s all instinct now. pull him out slow. wake him easy. if you can avoid the latter, great. never talk about it again.
“ now, i've heard there was a secret chord.
that david played, and it pleased the lord
but you don’t really care for music, do you? ”
that’s it. ease him out of it. his breathing steadies. less frantic as he fights himself behind his eyes. he’s not calm enough to wake entirely. why would she volunteer herself for a black eye? she’s acutely aware how winchester men sleep. like burning dumpster sharts.
“ it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth.
the minor falls, the major lifts
the baffled king composing hallelujah. ”
she’s humming the next bit; has him calm enough to reach out and touch with gentle fingers. she still doesn’t trust fully waking him. there may be no need. he’s calm enough for now. still. why take the chance? even she knows how easy it is to fall back into a nightmare.
“ your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof.
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her. ”
that’s it, john. you think of those happier places. your sons. your wife. think about the night you married her. the day you got out of the marines. think about the day you held your newborn son. the first word sam ever said. think about dean waiting eagerly for you to come home. to play toy guns and soldiers. think about blonde hair and a beautiful smile. think about what makes you feel at home. safe. loved.
she knows she’s never going to hold a memory like that from you.
she knows she’ll never live up to the boy you molded and the boy you cherished.
but, that doesn’t matter, does it?
tonight, the nightmare is gone. and when the sun drifts through the curtains, you’ll never know she was there.
when the yellow spring comes, i will tell you my heartas much as i waited, i like you a lotcan you give me a chance?
( delinquent yeonjun au ! )
they say that choi yeonjun is a dangerous guy, someone not to be messed with ( ‘he’s scary i tell you!’ ). but haknyeon’s never found any reason to believe that, not because he thinks that yeonjun’s a particularly great guy (they’ve never properly interacted before), but because rumours are just that. they’re rumours. usually groundless and spiced up for added drama.
the first time they properly interact is when the both of them are made to stay behind after school to do some cleaning. it half surprises haknyeon when he finds yeonjun in the classroom before him and not out somewhere, skipping. and haknyeon’s always been an open book, easy to read and never quite bothering to hide anything behind a poker face. his surprise clearly shows and he knows that it does when yeonjun turns to him and simply says, “why are you staring at me like that?”.
immediately haknyeon laughs, face turning slightly red before he quickly busies himself with wiping the whiteboard. “nothing,” he replies, shaking his head. it probably wouldn’t be nice of me to say i’m surprised, he briefly thinks. as he does his part in cleaning, he begins to struggle with reaching the top area of the board. haknyeon’s always been disappointingly (to him) small, and he finds himself having to stand on the tip of his toes in an attempt to reach it.
without much of a fuss, yeonjun grabs the cloth from haknyeon’s hand and stands directly behind him, easily wiping the top of the board. again, his actions catch haknyeon by surprise. everyone had cited yeonjun as a scary guy, a delinquent that should be avoided, yet here he was, standing just inches behind haknyeon as he helped the smaller boy with his part in cleaning. subconsciously he stares at yeonjun, eyes following his classmate.
after a moment, yeonjun pauses and tilts his head down, to get a better view of haknyeon. “what?”
“nothing,” haknyeon replies once more. “i just thought that it must be really handy, being tall,” he smiles. from the corner of his eye, he catches the way yeonjun’s ears turn slightly red and it’s a little endearing. ah, so he gets shy too!
the second time they interact, it’s raining. haknyeon’s made to stay behind a little later after school to help with some planning for his dance club. he’s walking down the road, umbrella in hand as he heads towards the subway, only to spot yeonjun slumped on the side of the street, face a little bruised up as the spring rain fell against his skin.
and he’s not too sure why, but before he can think, his feet already take him towards the boy. “yeonjun?” he calls out, voice soft. his classmate looks up and the bruises look clearer, more painful. he wants to reach out so badly, to gently touch the bruise, to ask if yeonjun is okay, but he knows that he shouldn’t. it would probably be best not to.
instead, he passes his umbrella to the boy. “it’s not good to get wet!” he says, genuine in his concern. “you can return the umbrella whenever, okay?”
as the rain begins to get heavier, haknyeon quickly uses his free hand to cover his own head. “see you!” he waves, before rushing to the subway, getting wet himself now that he had no umbrella.
the third time they interact, haknyeon’s in the library, struggling to reach for a book at the top shelf. he’s on the tip of his toes, cursing his teacher in his mind (and his short height), when a hand grabs the book before him.
turning around he sees yeonjun standing behind him. “here,” the boy says, passing haknyeon the book he’d been clamouring to get for the last few minutes.
“thank you,” he smiles. yeonjun isn’t a scary guy, not scary at all, is what haknyeon thinks. in this light, he looks charming — no; yeonjun’s always been charming. he’s always had nice eyes, and a sharp nose, and he’s always had a build that haknyeon both envied and found attractive. “i-i’ll see you in class!” or maybe not, yeonjun’s never really been to class much.
as he makes his way back towards his seat, he’s stopped by yeonjun calling out his name. “h-haknyeon!”
“yes?”
he’s not too sure if it’s the light, but he thinks he sees red against yeonjun’s cheek. cute. “do you want to be friends?”
i'm gonna look good for you honeyget my myself together, spend you all of my money, yeahand i know it's hard enough to love mebut woke up in a safe house singing, "honey, let's get married!”
it’s pink.
whenever he’s with her, everything in sight turns pink. he feels like a high-schooler in love, like a child, excited at the very thought of seeing her. it’s been years since the both of them have been together, but despite that, every minute with her feels so new, yet so comforting.
he’d wondered before if this was possible –– to love someone so completely, that you’d trust them with your heart. he learns that it is with yeri. some people call it a miracle, that despite their jobs, despite not being able to spend as much time together as they’d like, they were always loyal, always in love.
and perhaps it was because they were so in love, they were unable to hide it from the prying eyes of the public. getting caught had been scary, the articles plastered the front pages of news sites, but they’d promised to go through it together, that if there were to be any obstacle they’d have to overcome, they’d jump through it hand in hand.
the answer comes pretty easily to jaehyun. if everyone was already aware, he would no longer shy away from it. he loved her, that much he knew, and he would always know. he answers questions about her with gusto, gushes about how much he adores her, how right it feels to be with her.
( “she’s my rock, and my other half,” he’d say. )
opinions begin to shift, people begin to open up to the idea of the both of them dating. ever so often, he’d find supportive comments about their relationship online, and it began to be more frequent.
their dates become more pubic, he holds her hand when they’re out and refuses to let go. there’s nothing to hide, he thinks, how could he ever be ashamed of loving someone like yeri? it was a blessing, to love someone like her.
“oppa,” she walks towards him, and subconsciously, he finds himself mirroring her smile. “what were you doing?”
“hm?” jaehyun glances down at his phone before he places it aside. “nothing, i was just checking on a few things.”
yeri pouts, and jaehyun finds it absolutely adorable. he’s always found everything about her adorable (and he always will). he wonders again, just how’d he gotten so lucky.
“you’re so cute,” he laughs. reaching out, he gently holds her hand. and every time his thumb brushes against her fourth finger, he finds his smile growing wider.
at that moment, he receives a text confirming his private appointment at cartier. “thank you so much for your interest mr jung jaehyun. we’d love to have you drop by to take a look at our exclusive rings for your future mrs.”
It wasn’t long until Oilman was already throwing spooky decorations around the home. He made sure it wasn’t too frightening, though, because he knows somebody who can’t handle that. He resorted to cartoonish paper bats and funny little pumpkins.
Halloween was a fun holiday.
When he reached Time’s room, he knocked on the door three times in a nice rhythm before entering, grinning under his helmet. “Ey, yo Time!” He slid over, resting his elbows on the table, besides Time, his chin tucked in his hands. “Any plans for Halloween?” Winking, he glances at the bot’s computer.
“No. Of course not.” He didn’t even make eye contact, nah, Time just remained hunched over the various blueprints and papers. Sometimes scribbling.
Oil’s expression dimmed, even though that response didn’t surprise him. “What? C’mon Time, don’tcha think you’ve worked enough?”
“No. Of course not,” Repeating himself, he glanced back at the computer. “You can never work too much.” Absentmindedly waving his pencil at the other.
Oil rolled his eyes, Time’s appearance was evidence that it is possible to work too much! Grumpiness, eye-bags, lack of fun, need he go on?
Huffing, finding that there was no point of reasoning with him, Oil shrugged and twirled the other direction, beginning to take his leave. “Well, aight. But I’m not sharin’ any candy.”
Oh. That seemed to get his attention. Who doesn’t know about Time’s sweet tooth? “Hey, wait--! That’s unfair! I have to work!”
“Nnnnno ya don’t. Nobody’s makin’ ya.” Oil winked with his normal eye.
“Wh-- but-- I--!”
“Nope, nah. I’m not sharing with ya. Unless you were to, mayhaps go trick-or-treatin’ with me~?”
A bit furious, Time quickly took a glimpse at his notepad which had his schedule for the next two weeks. After some short thought, he responded, “Okay-- fine...” Grumbling, he looked away so Oil wouldn’t see the look of defeat.
“Haha, nice!” Oil finger guns. “Then it’s settled! You can tell me what ya wanna be later, I’ll give you some time to think!” Satisfied with the small argument, he made his way out, humming and twirling his scarf in hand.
This was gonna be fun.
