Blizzarding
Summary: It’s never too cold for ice cream, or at least that’s what Chanhee thinks no matter how much Changmin disagrees. And the more he talks about ice cream even with the wind howling, the more enticing it sounds to you. You've waited way too long to not have each other in the way your hearts always did.

Chanhee (New) X Reader X Changmin (Q) (Kyunyu)
Originally based off of: Prompt: 11. “I don’t want to get ice cream, it's freezing out! We’re going to get frostbite!” “I think it’d be fun.” “Yes, I agree, let’s do it.” (Loosely based off of Monster House line “...I don’t wanna go inside a monster and I don’t wanna die.” “I say it’s worth a shot.” “Yes, I agree, let’s do it.”).
[A/n: When I originally wrote the first version, I desperately wanted to write it as a kyunyu poly au. But because it was requested for Changmin only… I stuck to it. Anyways, as a kyunyu biaser- this is my self-indulgent version of this fic. I hope you enjoy this version as much as the original~ I know I certainly did.]
(Alternative Poly au Version of Blizzards)
------
Chanhee had told you weeks before that Changmin liked you back, hoping you’d make your move. But you’ve never had concrete evidence, and as much as you trusted and liked Chanhee, you weren’t about to ruin your friendship with Changmin on a chance like that. So, that’s how you find yourself today, sitting in Changmin’s room leaning against the wall, playing on your phone when the two of them start bickering. It wasn’t unusual for them to bicker between each other like an old married couple. But you always found it amusing, considering how they were always at ends over the littlest of things. You figure out that they’re arguing about whether or not to get ice cream, and with the wind howling like it is, you can’t help but shiver at the thought. You think you’ll end up agreeing with Changmin that getting ice cream wouldn’t be a good idea right now. Considering the soon-to-be blizzarding conditions. No matter how enticing Chanhee was making your favorite flavors sound... But the more he talks about it the more you grow hungry for it. His pout crushes your heart the more Changmin disagrees. Your heart couldn’t take much more of this.
Chanhee makes another point about them having hot cocoa at the ice cream place he wants to go to, and Changmin scoffs, “We could have hot chocolate here.” You hum at that point. You definitely could have that here. But ice cream? You know those two didn’t have any of it in their refrigerator. Changmin’s eyes flicker over to you, and he gives you a little smile. That’s when you remember your role. You’re their tiebreaker, and you just made Changmin hopeful. Uh-oh. Chanhee juts his bottom lip out as he looks at him, “But… I thought that would make the ice cream place sound good to you.” You knew if you disagreed with him, he’d go out and get it anyway. That’s just how Chanhee is. And you couldn’t help but want some (f/f) ice cream as well. So, when Changmin huffs, “I don’t want to get ice cream, it’s freezing out!” You chime in, “I think it’d be fun.” He doesn’t miss a beat, “Yes, I agree, let’s do it.” You raise your eyebrow at him and hide your laugh. Maybe Chanhee was right after all… Chanhee gives him a ‘seriously’ look before shrugging, and the three of you get your winter gear on before happily walking to the ice cream parlor.
You can hear Changmin’s little regrets as he mumbles to himself about going when the snow is high enough that you can make snow cones out of it. You giggle at him, “You didn’t have to go if you didn’t really want ice cream.” And his mitten-covered hands make a little ‘eh’ motion as he shrugs before shoving his hands back into his pockets. You shake your head at him with a smile. You knew he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to be with you two. Because if there was one thing you knew for sure, was that Changmin liked Chanhee like you did, even if they always bickered. But the only question lingering in your mind as you head into the parlor was did Chanhee like you two back? You shake the thought from your mind as you order your favorite ice cream flavor before paying for them separately and heading to the booths to talk.
You sit in the corner beside Chanhee and across from Changmin as you happily eat your ice cream and watch the snowfall from inside. Changmin sighs as he digs his spoon into his cup, “We’re going to be so cold when we walk home.” You both laugh, and Chanhee tells him, “You should have disagreed! (N/n) and I would have gone by ourselves and enjoyed our ice cream.” Changmin rolls his eyes, and you hum, “As long as we walk quickly, it’ll be okay.” Changmin’s eyes look like they’re full of stars as he looks at you before shrugging, “I guess you’re right.” He takes another bite, and Chanhee gives you a pointed look before he mouths, ‘I told you so’. You press your lips together as you try to hold back your smile at the obvious signs of Changmin liking you back. Chanhee cackles at you, pointing his spoon at you, and Changmin’s head snaps up, looking between the two of you, confused. You both shrug, and you can’t help but see Chanhee’s smirk in the corner of your eye as you continue eating your ice cream.
You scrape at your cup, getting the last bits of ice cream out, when Chanhee says, “I’ll be right back. I’m going to the restroom.” You hum, “Don’t get lost.” And Changmin chimes, “You need a map?” Chanhee scoffs at you two before he leaves, disposing of his empty ice cream cup in the trash as he goes. You turn to Changmin when Chanhee’s out of earshot, “Wasn’t he being so cute!?” He laughs, “Yeah, he was…” You grin before you go back to scraping at your cup. He clears his throat, and you look up at him. “Yeah?” He plays with his collar, “Um, I uh… About earlier. And the uh... immediately agreeing-” His ears are red, and he looks down into his cup as he tries to explain, “I don’t know what got into me and-” You interrupt with a grin, “I like you too.” He blinks at you, “You what?” You drop your spoon in your cup and tell him, “I like you too.” His eyes are wide as he looks at you like you just said all the gold in the world belonged to him. And he asks, “Really? All this time? You liked me as well?” “Yeah.” He breaks out into a grin, “So, you didn’t think it was silly that I went back on my argument?” You reach over and put your hand over his, “No, I thought it was cute. Plus, you agreed with me.” He grins and leans, “What do you say we ditch Chanhee and go out for a late dinner?”
You laugh, and before you can give him an answer, someone clears their throat as they sit down beside you. You look over, and Chanhee goes, “Ditch me? As if. Not in these blizzard-like conditions.” And Changmin scoffs, “So, you do agree it was blizzarding outside!” Chanhee smirks, “Yeah, but I knew if I could get (N/n) to agree, you’d go for it.” You watch Changmin’s face fall. And you give Chanhee a look as it clicks, “You didn’t even pay for our ice cream adventure even though it was your idea!” He shrugs with a smirk, and you roll your eyes and look at Changmin, “What do you say to dinner and a movie?” He grins, “I’d like that. Let’s do it.” You push Chanhee out of the booth as he guffaws at both of you. You both already have your jackets on and are out the door before Chanhee even has his on.
You bump your hand into Changmin’s as you walk together, and he grins taking your hand into his mitten-covered one, keeping your hand warm. When you hear someone quickly approaching you two, stomping through the snow, and you both giggle at him. Chanhee complains, “I don't even get to be the third wheel like I usually have to?!” You tilt your head, “You do?” He rolls his eyes, “You two are always making goo-goo eyes at each other. It’s a little gross.” You scoff, and Changmin swings your hands happily between you two and sings-songs, “You’re just jealous~” Which causes him to roll his eyes again, “Maybe I am! So, what! At least you two finally confessed to each other.”
Changmin and you exchange a look of surprise. Did Chanhee like you both back? You whisper to Changmin, “He’s jealous?” And you both are in shock, but you say for Chanhee to hear, “Damn… that means we could have gotten ice cream by ourselves instead today.” Chanhee scoffs at that. “My ice cream idea brought you two together, and here you are, dissing on it!” Changmin shakes his head, “No... We’re dissing on going with you.” Chanhee scoffs as he opens the door, “I’m never talking to you two again.”
You laugh at their antics as you take off your coats and tell him, “You will.” He scoffs again, “Whatever. Are we at least having hot chocolate together?” You shrug and ask Changmin, “What do you say, baby?” You blush as you realize you already called him baby, and you see his ears turn red. But he quickly recoups, “Yeah, sure, doll.” Chanhee shakes his head, “We’re already starting the pet names… Gross… But deal.” You both smirk and Changmin goes, “Aww, are you jealous, sweetheart?” Chanhee rolls his eyes and if it wasn’t for his cheeks being red from the bitter wind, you were certain he would be now. He scoffs, “Yeah. So what?” You smirk, “You don't have to be jealous, darling.” As you hover next to his cheek about to kiss it, Changmin says, “You know we like you too, right?” Chanhee’s beet red as he looks between you both, “I- You- What?” You kiss his cheek, “You know how you and I always talk about my crush on Minnie?” He nods and you continue, “Minnie and I always talk about our crush on you. I confessed to it first and he quickly told me he felt the same.”
Chanhee looks between you too, seeking reassurance, “You guys aren’t fucking with me, right now, are you?” Changmin kisses his neck, “Not about this.” And Chanhee stutters, “Oh-oh fuck, okay… I love you guys.” Your smirk doesn't fade as you lay a kiss on his collarbone, “We know.” He gasps, “There's no way you guys figured it out.” Changmin pulls back and says, “You’re right, we wouldn’t have but...” You lay another kiss on his jaw and whisper, “You carelessly said you were jealous of us. Confirming our theories.”
He lets out a pleased hum before he rolls his eyes and asks, “So, do I get to have dinner and watch a movie with you two too?” You hum as Changmin grabs your hand and you tilt your head at him, “I think it’s only fair. What do you think, baby?” Changmin lays a delicate kiss on your hand, “I think it would only be right to, doll.” Then he pulls you in, hovers over your neck, and hums, “Yeah, I think we’ll need more than a movie after dinner though.” He sucks a mark onto your neck too, over his shoulder, you exchange a devilish look with Chanhee. And when Changmin pulls away, you pin him to the wall in the hallway. And you each suck a mark into either side of his neck. When you both pull away, you see his dark eyes staring at you two. As if he could ruin you both with a snap of his fingers, “You two drive me mad, you know that?” Chanhee and you smirk and nod, “We do.” He rolls his eyes and leads you both into the kitchen, where you work to make hot chocolate on the stove and drink it together to get warm again before anything else ensues. Maybe being the tiebreaker to an old married couple wasn’t so bad after all. Especially if it meant you were included in their marriage.
