wc. 955
you know martin was having a bad day before he said a single word. his tiny pout and heavy steps say it all after entering your shared bedroom. you just stay there on your bed—eyes locked on him, analyzing his moves.
martin takes off his mustard yellow jacket and hangs it on the bedroom door. he stays there for almost a minute. you tilt your head to the side and call him. "baby?"
he doesn't answer. he's just... there. not moving.
"baby, what's the matter?" your voice softens. everyone would say martin's such a tough guy—being a hardworking boy since he was a child—and isn't going to be upset over the smallest thing in the world. but here you are, seeing his tall figure won't talk to you before you baby him after a long day outside.
"how's the trip with the boys?" you try to ask him again. martin told you a week ago he's going to a picnic with james, juhoon, seonghyeon and keonho. "it's gonna be hella fun out there! we're just gonna talk about music and dance. i can't wait!" he said at that time.
you frown your eyebrows a little, waiting for his response. he turns his back, facing you with head hanging low and a disappointed expression. "they didn't listen to me. i did all the things—i drove the car, prepared the meal and stuff but keonho and hyeon keep teasing me by playing all day. we didn't even talk about music today!"
his tiny pout stays there. "all i wanted was to have a great time together but it seemed like they didn't care, and i am the only one who cares."
you signal him to sit next to you and he immediately shifts to your side—hands wrap around your tiny waist and his face buries on your neck. he lets out a loud sigh before snuggling more into you, as if you're going to puff with the wind if he lets you go. you welcome him with open arms, holding his big figure warmly in your arms and play with the strands of his blonde.
"so are you upset with them?" you ask, even though you already knew the answer. "yes," he says immediately. "i thought i'm gonna go crazy today."
"oh shut up." you laugh a little over his exaggerated expression.
martin laughs too. "thank you for asking." he says. you're keep playing with his strands and stay silent for a while.
"no need to thank me."
"i should."
"okay." you smile, staring straight to the black screen tv in front of you. it reflects your shadow with martin clinging on you on the bed, which is quite cute.
"your feelings are valid, you know," you start after a long silence. he hums to your words, eyes close slightly—feeling tired enough. "i know they feel comfortable around you since you've been such a good older brother to them. they thanked you for bringing them out of that studio and feel the nature. you know they didn't mean any harm to you, right? they're still a kid." you caress his left cheek with your finger.
"hey, i'm only like one year older than them!" martin straights his back and looks at you in disbelief. "i can't believe you defend them and not me."
great. now he's sulking.
"i know baby, i know." you cup his face, forcing him to look at you. "what i wanted to say is they just want to spend their free time with you doing other things. of course they care about music! you're all in one band, right? there's no way they don't care about music and dance."
"they just wanted to try doing other things with all of you, since you probably can't do anything after going back to the studio." you added.
martin pouts his lips even more. what you said is somehow true and he can't keep denying it. "you're right. i feel evil now."
you giggle. "you are."
"you're so mean." his face went shock.
"nooooo you know i don't mean it though!" you laugh and lean forward—smooching his face with kisses. "you know..." a kiss on the right cheek. "i love..." a kiss on the left cheek. "you..." a kiss on his nose. "so much." you stare at him for a while before leaving a short peck on his lips and smile.
"no i don't." his face goes serious. no smile, no giggle, just stare at you as if he's going to take your soul.
"really?" you cling your hands around his neck, closing the distance between the two of you. "what should i do to make you believe that i love you?"
"kiss me more."
"the pleasure is mine." you smile at him, and start pressing short kisses all over his face. he loves it when you show affection since you're not really into physical touch that often. he feels great. he feels like he's in the clouds.
after that, you kiss his lips slowly. his lips move with rhythm and you love to play along with it. you two break the kiss, feeling the need of air. forehead touches each other.
"i love you so much." you say breathlessly.
"i love you even more, baby." he steals a quick peck on your lips.
"so.. are you still upset?"
"no." he smiles beautifully before kissing your forehead. "thank you for always making me feel loved." he hugs you tight and closes the distance between you.
"anytime." you smiled at him before pressing your head against his chest and hugging him back.

riri’s notes. i think you guys could tell but he’s my bias..
( SYNOPSIS ) how i think martin would act as your boyfriend!
like this? find my masterlist here .
cuddling together
martin acts tough until you’re around. the second you’re beside him, he’s pulling you against his chest or wrapping an arm around your shoulders. but martin literally forgets that he’s 6’3, so when he tries to be little spoon, his legs are falling off the couch. although he’s naturally affectionate and loves having you close, especially after a long day of schedules.
affection
martin shows affection without even thinking about it. he’ll rest a hand on your back while walking, kiss your forehead in passing, or gently pull you closer when you’re standing next to him. it always feels effortless with him.
texting
his texts are a mix of sweet and just straight memes. one minute he’s asking how your day is going, and the next he’s sending a picture of lebron james (take his fucking phone pls💔) but no matter how busy he is, he always makes time to check on you.
when you’re sleepy
martin gets incredibly soft when you’re tired. he’ll quietly make sure you’re comfortable, let you rest against him, and keep everyone else from bothering you. if you fall asleep on him, he’s staying exactly where he is. one time, you fell asleep curled up on his lap, and he lost circulation in his legs. his reason for not moving: ‘my gf is sleeping.’
love language
martin’s biggest love language is physical touch. he loves holding your hand, hugging you, and keeping you close whenever he can. for him, being near you is one of the easiest ways to show how much he cares. the members dramatically gag everytime they find yall tangled together on the couch.
when you’re upset
he notices when something is wrong almost immediately. martin isn’t the type to force you to talk, but he’ll stay by your side until you’re ready. whatever you need, he’s there without hesitation. when you’re crying, he lets you soak his hoodie too. (even if it’s his favorite one.)
around the members
the members are constantly catching martin looking at you. he’ll act like nothing happened, but everyone notices the way his face softens whenever you’re around. at this point, nobody is surprised anymore. keonho calls it “the martin-is-falling-in-love-with-y/n-again look.”
when he misses you
after spending time apart, martin becomes extra clingy. he’ll pull you into a long hug the second he sees you and stay close for the rest of the day. he’s missed you, and he’s making that everyone’s problem. martin’s like a string bean trying to cuddle up against a pea. (long ass limbs 🤦🏾♀️)
pet names
martin loves calling you “ma.” (don’t hate me guys pls) it slips out naturally and makes the members groan every single time. he’ll also use “baby,” “pretty girl,” and “princess” when he’s feeling extra affectionate. i think he’s also apart of the silly pet name crew (with james). when he’s feeling silly, he’ll definitely say names like “sweetcheeks” “honey boo bear” “my amazing goated girlfriend”, he’s literally chronically online too.
falling asleep together
you’ll start the night on your own side of the bed and somehow wake up tucked against martin’s chest. he always reaches for you in his sleep, like his body automatically knows where you are. he’ll never admit it, but he feels more like a man whenever he’s big spoon.
thinking of… cuddling with bf!martin late at night starts with snacking and continues with whisper conversations between the two of you. talking about the stupidest things and giggling about it, “what if i buzz my hair..?” “then you’d be baldtin.” he also wants to be the little spoon (doesn’t really work tho..) ALWAYS asks for head scratches, and if you stop he’d twitch like a fish on the shore for you to continue.
he watches spongebob. he’s 100% type of guy to follow you to the bathroom, “where are you going??” he’d even hold your hand while you pee. if you’re facing away from him he’d definitely kiss your shoulder softly. it ends with him lightly snoring next to you. even if you nudge him a thousand times he’d apologize and continue snoring 😭
he’s sleeping in the dumbest positions ever known to man kind: limbs tangled and all, butt in the air, hands above his head…but it’s okay cuz his sleepy voice makes up for it😛 talks in his sleep too and has definitely scared you before with it.
sometimes sleepwalks. late night energy bursts. he’d start cleaning the house if he feels like it. he also kicks in his sleep idc.

( ◠‿◠ ) 𓈒 on the phone with martin
𝒊────𝟐𝟎𝟖𝟐 🗡️ 𝑏𝑓 ! 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛 잡지 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟
the call started with him smiling before you had even said anything. you could tell he’d been waiting for you to pick up because the second your face appeared on the screen, his expression changed completely. his hair was slightly disheveled, his hoodie pulled up around his neck, and he looked way too pleased with himself.
“finally,” martin said, leaning closer to the camera. “i was starting to think you forgot about me.”
you rolled your eyes, laughing as you adjusted your phone. “it was literally five minutes.”
“five minutes is a long time when i’m waiting for my girlfriend.”
the way he said it made you smile despite yourself. he kept glancing at the screen as if he still couldn’t believe you were there, even though you had video called almost every night since the distance started.
“you look tired,” he said after a moment, his expression softening. “did you sleep enough?”
you shrugged. “maybe.”
“maybe?” he raised an eyebrow. “that’s not an answer.”
you laughed. “are you my boyfriend or my mom?”
“your boyfriend,” he replied. “a boyfriend who cares about you and is unfortunately stuck on the other side of the world.”
you could hear the small hint of frustration in his voice, the kind he tried to hide. long distance wasn’t easy. there were days when he wished he could just show up at your door, steal you away for a few hours, and not have to rely on a screen. tonight was one of those days.
“i miss you,” he admitted, resting his chin against his hand. “i miss doing normal things with you.”
“normal things?”
“yeah,” he said. “getting food together. Walking around the city. annoying you in person instead of through a phone.”
you smiled. “oh, you annoy me plenty through the phone.”
that earns you a huff. “good. at least i’m consistent”
you both laughed, and for a while, the conversation moved naturally from random stories about your days to little details you would usually forget to mention. he told you about something funny that happened earlier, music that he was working on then immediately changed the subject because he wanted to hear about yours instead.
at some point, you had noticed he had been staring at the screen for a little too long.
“what?” you asked.
“nothing.”
“martin.”
he smiled, looking away for a second before looking back. “i’m just looking at you.”
“hmm, that’s weird.”
“no it isn’t,” he grinned. “am i not allowed to look at my girlfriend?”
“you’re acting like you haven’t seen me before.”
“i haven’t seen you in person in forever,” he corrected. “the screen doesn’t count.”
there was something about the way he said it that made your teasing disappear. he wasn’t trying to make you feel guilty; he was just being honest. he missed being close to you. he missed the little moments that couldn’t happen through a call.
as the call got later, neither of you seemed ready to end it. you both knew you had to sleep eventually, but hanging up meant going back to missing each other.
“stay five more minutes,” he said.
“martin, you said that twenty minutes ago. i… am tired.”
the two of you stayed there a little longer, talking about nothing and everything at the same time. even with miles between you, it still felt familiar.
you kept yawning, and of course, martin noticed that you were, actually, tired, and not trying to get off call.
“goodnight,” you finally said.
martin smiled. “goodnight. call me tomorrow?”
“obviously.”
“okay. i just needed to hear you say it.”
you laughed, and before ending the call, he leaned closer to the camera.
