of all i want to hear you say to me

Donghyuck has always been there, even when he wasn’t. He filled the spaces of Jeno’s monochrome world with sunshine yellow. Jeno never wants to go back.

“No, mom. Honestly. I think he’s my soulmate.”

“That’s nice, honey. Eat your vegetables.”

coffeeshop!kun

perhaps kun is in love with the regular who always comes in at 7:17 in the morning and orders a small coffee, no cream or sugar, and who will scroll through their phone at the table by the window, the light gently streaming in through the glass

perhaps kun is in love with them until they stand up and leave at 7:27, exactly ten minutes after they entered

he never asks for their name

he never asks for anything except their order with a polite smile and perhaps a bit of a friendlier tone than he would offer to anyone else

he never asks for anything more than their soft replies and slight smiles

perhaps kun is in love with a person whose life he has created, unaware of the daily rituals they actually lead outside of the café

kun is in love with an idea - ten had always warned him that his imagination was a powerful thing, and he always scoffed and scoffed and scoffed and... maybe there was - there is - some truth to ten’s words

kun is in love with an idea - with an imaginary person he created - and for him, for now, that is fine

sleepy!lucas

long limbs strewn everywhere in a position that should be so uncomfortable, but lucas feels that his limbs are too heavy, too long, too comfortable hanging off the small mattress with the blood rushing to his hands and feet

he’ll regret it when he shifts again, but for now his body feels so heavy and so tired and so ready for sleepy that he just closes his eyes and lets the darkness envelop his sight, the feeling of the harsh fluorescent light seeping in through the cracked windows as the wind shifts the curtains and lets the street lamps invade with their buzzing and color in the otherwise dark world

stuffed animals are strewn haphazardly everywhere - they go to sleep neatly beside him and he’s always sure that’s where they stay until he sleeps, and then, his imagination says, they go on adventures - to lands far beyond his reach and he hopes that they come back with fun stories to tell one another

doyoung told him once that it was childish to think that way and kun was quick to silence him but, lucas, in this half-asleep state, doesn’t really care what other people think, and really just hopes that sleep will find him as quickly as it found kun, who breathes softly in the gentle air of the dorm

it smells faintly of cleaner in the dorm and he wonders if someone came to clean today - his brain wonders what day it is and if it was time again, but he quickly relinquishes that to another second, another minute, another day, just another time

large, sweeping moves as he adjusts himself and, ah, right, there’s all the blood rushing back from his hands and feet as he stares at the wall and wonders if counting sheep will help

but what color shall the sheep be? shall they jump over a fence or simply move from one portion of the wide open field to another and how he wishes he could run through and open field and just be free

he hopes that he dreams of having wings - of being able to shout away all his worries into the empty clouds, his only spectators the bright star in the sky and the cold clouds

but, until he sleeps and hopefully dreams of a wide open, brand new world, he closes his eyes and listens to the sounds around him

soft!jaemin

swagger or a giant teddy bear? you decide! honestly the duality of na jaemin is a fascinating thing but also you're pretty sure he has a collection of mini finger skateboards and i'm not saying that i approve but i also don't disapprove doesn't allow you to call him nana and you were confused about that for the longest time until he looked you dead in the eyes, put his hands on your shoulders, and said "i want a different nickname from you. literally anything else but nana. that doesn't feel special. personal. i want you to come up with it from the bottom of your heart" "corny. how about st -" "please have it be affectionate" "okay" really just wants your affection please give him all your love that's literally all he wants both of you baby and tease jisung but jisung only accepts it from you and it breaks jaemin's poor lil heart and he says that you and jisung can't hang out anymore because he should be the only person who gets to baby jisung and far away in the 127 dorms taeyong feels a disturbance in the force and of course jaemin is joking - he's ecstatic that you also love jisung and the rest of nct dream and that you all get along but also also jaemin wants your love to himself and yes that's corny he's that corny he loves you that much screams about how much he loves you in the practice room at 3am and jeno takes videos of him to send to you with the caption "make your boyfriend shut up thanks" and then turns to jaemin and says "the fact that they're still with you is a miracle with the way you act" and sends jaemin off into another tangent about how lucky he is to get to love you and jeno stares into the mirror like he’s on camera you message jeno back the next morning when you get up "where was chenle i literally sent him a video of me saying i love you jaemin about a thousand times to show him when he gets like this" jeno: "chenle loves chaos" you: "me too" and literally all of dream loves to clown jaemin about how he's absolutely, positively, head over heels for you - holding your hand at any possible moment, leaning his head against your shoulder, bringing you a rose from the flower shop down the road from your favorite restaurant - but also you handle it well and they’re happy to see jaemin that happy, smiling brightly and talking animatedly about the gifts you surprised him with over dinner the other day and you and jaemin have great chemistry together you keep one another in line and as goofy as jaemin is, he has his serious moments when he settles down and isn't yelling about how much he loves you and you two have serious conversations - you're children but also very serious when it comes down to it but he likes keeping everything upbeat and fun and energetic because he loves having stories to tell and memories to think about later on and a part of him is afraid that it won't last forever - it's a small fear that's been in the back of his mind since his back injury... that nothing really lasts forever and you need to make the most of everything, make tons of memories so you'll have them in the future and you just need to hold his hand in those moments where he gets overwhelmed and remind him that living in the present is a good idea, too, and whatever comes you two will handle together as needed like you always do and jaemin is so, so, so, so, so grateful for you - you've become his anchor and confidant and just everything he could've asked for in a significant other and more jaemin is heart emojis; valentine's day; neon signs; sneaking onto the highschool roof after hours; sunrise after a thunderstorm
