⠀⠀⠀⠀CHIVALRY ISN’T DEAD, HE’S A BUTCH!
pairing: butch!byun euijoo x femme!reader
disclaimers: butch/femme lesbian dynamics (duh), he/him butch representation, fem!nicholas mentions (who is referred to as “coco”), uni setting, not proofread.
butch!byun euijoo who always wears snapbacks, with his sturdy hands shoved into jacket pockets, voice calm even when everyone else around him is loud, always ending up gentle-parenting them.
butch!byun euijoo who your classmate (and the bane of your existence /aff) coco introduced to you with a laugh and a warning.
“don’t use those eyes on juju too much,” coco told you during the lunch you guys shared between classes. “he falls for girls like you fast…”
he looked exhausted immediately.
“why are you like this.”
“you keep saying i’m scaring your future wife away just because we’re always attached at the hip, and you don’t put yourself out there. i speak for the people.”
butch!byun euijoo who pulls chairs out for you without making a spectacle of it, like it comes to him as easy as breathing. butch!byun euijoo who walks closest to traffic automatically whenever you are on foot. carries things because “pretty girls like you shouldn’t have to carry things,” not because he thinks you can’t on your own.
butch!byun euijoo who looked the most himself sitting on the edge of your bed with a guitar resting against his thigh while you added finishing touches to your makeup nearby, with your perfume lingering in the room while his rings clicked softly against the instrument and its’ strings. who looked most like himself when things were intimate, perhaps domestic even, between the two of you.
butch!byun euijoo, a master of feigned composure whose insides churn with emotion, sealing everything within. each compliment you give him lodges itself deep within the chambers of his heart, lingering for weeks.
especially when you call him a “handsome gentleman” while cooing at him.
that one ruins him.
butch!byun euijoo who loves being your butch before you even make anything official. he likes when you reach for his arm in public, he likes when he gets to hold doors open for you. he likes the small ritual of taking your hand while crossing streets. he likes being devoted, and the act of belonging to you before you belonged to him.
butch!byun euijoo who becomes visibly softer around you. happier, eyes turning into joyful crescents more often, more willing to lean into touch when it was from the femme who stole his heart.
butch!byun euijoo who is constantly accused of acting like your husband by coco.
“juju literally packs bento boxes for you.”
“she forgets to eat.”
“he keeps hair ties in his pocket.”
“because she needs them sometimes.”
"he also remembers your coffee order better than his own."
he only shrugs then, apples of his cheeks dusted a faint red.
butch!byun euijoo who loves initiating physical affection in his own, quaint ways. your hand in the back pocket of his jeans, your legs thrown across his lap while he played guitar absent-mindedly, the weight of your head against his shoulder after long days.
after months of relentlessly yearning for you, butch!byun euijoo finally asked you out by playing and singing your favorite love song, only to find out your feelings have been mutual all along.
butch!byun euijoo who kisses with care before anything else. one hand at your waist, the other adjusting naturally to keep you close. always tender. never rushing you, never careless with you.
butch!byun euijoo who looks at you sometimes with a stunned and affectionate look on his face even after months of you dating, like he still can’t believe you’re really his femme.
