mark doesn’t like arguments, but he does defend what he believes in. passionately. almost to a fault. he’ll start out calm, hands up, saying, “okay, okay, i’m listening,” — but the second you challenge something he’s sure he’s right about, his eyebrows knit and he starts pacing lightly or shake his head unconsciously “i’m not trying to fight,” he insists, “i’m just saying, like, that’s not what happened.” he’s not raising his voice. he’s just stubborn. that earnest, frustrating kind of stubborn that comes from being too honest and too sure of what he remembers. and you’re tired. he can tell, but he’s still trying to finish his point, because in his mind, clearing it up will make things better. then he sees your lip tremble. everything in him deflates. he goes quiet, chewing his lip, shoulders lowering. “wait—wait, i’m sorry. i didn’t realize i was doing that,” he says softly. he sits beside you, leaning forward with his hands clasped. “explain it to me one more time, baby. i'm not gonna cut you off, i swear.” and when you finally let out what’s really bothering you, he listens for real.
—huang renjun
renjun’s biggest problem? he thinks rationality fixes everything. so when the argument begins, he goes straight into explanation mode, arms crossed, voice even, expression unreadable. “i’m not attacking you. i’m just explaining why it doesn’t make sense,” he says, which somehow makes it worse. you’re emotional. he’s logical. it’s oil and water.
the more upset you get, the more confusion flickers across his face, like he genuinely can’t grasp why you’re reacting that way. but then he sees it: the way you look away, shoulders tightening, eyes glossy. and something in him stops cold. his expression softens instantly. he uncrosses his arms, takes a step closer, voice dropping to something fragile. “hey… don’t cry. i’m sorry,” he murmurs, his thumb gently brushing the back of your hand. he pulls you into a quiet hug, one arm around your waist, the other stroking your hair. “i wasn’t trying to belittle you. i just… talk stupid when i care too much.” and he holds you until your breathing steadies.
—lee jeno
jeno is a logical-first, feelings-second kind of guy. and when you argue, you feel it more than ever. you’ll raise your concern and he’ll immediately respond with something like, “okay, but objectively—” and you want to scream. he doesn’t mean to be cold. he thinks offering solutions is being caring. but sometimes his explanations sound like he’s dismissing your feelings, even when he isn’t. when you snap, “can you stop being a robot for one second?” jeno shuts down. not angrily, just internalizing. his jaw tightens, and he looks away for a moment like he’s recalibrating. when he finally speaks again, his voice is quiet, almost careful: “i’m not trying to invalidate you. i just don’t know how to handle it when you’re upset. i’m trying.” he sits next to you, hands clasped because he doesn’t want to overwhelm you. “tell me what you need from me,” he says honestly. and once you explain it, he really listens and his whole demeanor shifts. “okay,” he says softly. “i can do that. i want to do that.” his effort is clumsy but genuine… and it melts you every time.
—lee haechan
haechan jokes when he’s nervous. which is the worst combination during an argument.
you’re upset, and he keeps trying to lighten the mood, tossing out comments like, “okay grumpy, relax,” not realizing he’s pouring gasoline on fire. when you finally snap, his face falls — like he genuinely didn’t expect it. around the boys he stays composed, pretending it’s fine, but the second you’re alone, he’s unusually quiet. he keeps glancing at you, eyes softening with every second. “what did i do?” he asks, voice barely above a whisper. and when you tell him he hurt your feelings, his entire expression shifts — guilt taking over everything. he moves closer, tucking himself into your space, arms wrapping around your waist from the side. “i’m sorry,” he murmurs into your shoulder. “i should’ve read the room.” he kisses your cheek, nose, temple — tiny apologies scattered across your skin. “don’t shut me out, okay? i hate when you’re upset and i can’t fix it.” and he doesn’t let go until you melt into him.
—na jaemin
jaemin gets quiet. painfully quiet. he isn’t cold, he isn’t annoyed — he’s hurt. he sits still, eyes lowered, thinking too much all at once. when you snap at him, he absorbs it silently, nodding once like he deserves it. “i didn’t know i made you feel like that,” he says softly, which somehow breaks you more. he doesn’t raise his voice, doesn’t defend himself. he just retreats inward, processing. you move away and he follows a few steps, not suffocating, but close enough to show he cares. “i don’t want us to fight,” he murmurs. “tell me how to fix this.” and when you do, he listens like you’re giving him sacred instructions. he reaches for your hand slowly, brushing your knuckles with his thumb. “come here,” he whispers, pulling you into a slow, grounding hug. his chin rests on your head, and he holds you like he’s trying to calm both your hearts. “i’m not going anywhere,” he adds quietly. “even when we’re like this.”
—zhong chenle
chenle reacts fast. talks fast. argues fast. he’ll notice something tiny, as trivial as your mismatched socks, or your forgotten umbrella. he'll comment immediately without thinking. on a good day, you laugh it off. on a bad one, like today, it grates. when you tell him to stop nagging, he scoffs, “i’m not nagging, i’m helping,” without realizing how sharp it sounds. but the moment he notices you shivering in the cold, or your eyes watering, or your silence stretching too long — he stops mid-sentence. “wait. are you actually upset?” his voice softens in a way it rarely does. he shrugs off his jacket and wraps it around you, his hands lingering on your shoulders. “i’m sorry,” he mutters, eyes darting away shyly. “i didn’t mean to be annoying.” he holds your hand as you walk, thumb rubbing circles apologetically. “i just worry about you. too much, probably.” and the sincerity in his voice makes your heart wobble.
—park jisung
jisung panics during arguments. he hates raised voices, even slightly sharp tones. the second he feels tension, he starts stumbling over his words, eyes widening in confusion and concern. “wait—what did i do? i swear i didn’t mean—” he keeps reaching toward you and pulling back, unsure if touching you will make it worse. when you look away, his whole face crumples. “don’t… don’t be mad at me,” he says quietly, almost pleading. he sits in front of you, knees drawn in, trying so hard to understand. “just tell me,” he begs softly. “i’ll fix it, i promise.” and as soon as you explain, he exhales shakily and scoots closer, resting his forehead against your shoulder. “i’m really sorry,” he clings to you while he whispers. “i don’t want to lose you.”
╰┈➤ how nct dream would react to you calling them by a pet name for the first time
. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋpairing ot7 x gn!reader
. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋgenre fluff
. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋnote hii. srry for not posting (again, im so srry) hope u like this <3
✦➼mark lee
✦- he will be surprised because you have been together for a relatively short time for you to call him by a nickname. he gets a little nervous trying to hide how happy he is about you calling him that way. after a while he will start calling you the same way, always a little shy and waiting for your reaction. he is simply very much in love with you and only wants to see your smile when he calls you that.
✦➼huang renjun
✦- at first it would seem like it didn't affect him, but it's just his way of showing that it doesn't really bother him and that he likes it. you felt a little bad because you thought he didn't like it but he would return the nickname unexpectedly with a light smile on his face. in the end it would become something special between the two of you and it would be your way of calling each other in private.
✦➼lee jeno
✦- he will probably pretend that it didn't affect him at first and just give you a smile. but in reality he is confused because he doesn't know what to do and he becomes very shy, although he doesn't show it. likewise, the sparkle in his eyes and how he stays thinking afterwards totally gives him away.
✦➼lee donghyuck
✦- as soon as he heard you, he started to make fun of you. he would constantly repeat the nickname and then give it back to you by exaggerating it with the most corny and ridiculous pet name he could think of. it was annoying for you. you just kept a serious face while he laughed subtly. he actually loved it when you called him that but he would never miss an opportunity to tease you.
✦➼na jaemin
✦- he will give you the biggest smile when he hears you. he feels lucky that the person he loves calls him in a special way. he will start calling you the same name because he finds it as something to bring you closer and have a better relationship. obviously he also has 1000 other names that he will call you from now on.
✦➼zhong chenle
✦- he'll probably laugh and tease you a little, but not as much as haechan. he'd tell you that he likes it and that you should call him that more often. he'd also give you a nickname and use it casually, in addition to using the one you told him in the first place.
✦➼park jisung
✦- jisung would get so shy. as soon as the sweet nickname comes out of your mouth he would turn red and look away. he's not used to it since you two haven't been together that long but he would love it. it would be hard for him to admit that he likes you calling him nicknames. he would return the nickname in private in the cutest way with the biggest smile in the world. he's just so cutee
pairing : librarian!renjun x fem!reader genre : strangers to lovers, like at first sight, fluff warnings : none! synopsis : renjun lived a quiet life but what happens when he meets someone who just bewitches him wc : 0.6k a/n : reupload but i think it fits renjun! to preface this is a reupload from my account @ pshbites, this is the original and it is my work. i only have these two accounts and if there is any other account impersonating me, it is not me.
renjun felt like a stalker. it wasn’t like he meant to keep following you but the shelves you kept going to just happened to be the ones he had to rearrange. he glanced over to you, skimming through a page of this random sci-fi/thriller book you picked up. he smiled softly, admiring your features. the way your hair sat so perfectly or how you pursed your lips, focusing on the plot of the book.
you were gorgeous to put it simply. you caught his eye the second you walked in and something about you just drew him to you. he didn’t know how or why, it was like you bewitched him. renjun looked away and looked at the bookshelves again, trying to distract himself.
“you’re not slick, you know that?” you said, putting the book back on the shelf and turning to renjun. “i.. i wasn’t like following you or anything” renjun sputtered out, cheeks flushing into a soft pink. “mhm.. have fun rearranging those books” you said, smiling softly then walking past him to leave. once he heard the bookstore door open and close he let out a breath he was unknowingly holding. never again, he thought, sighing as he went back to rearranging the shelf.
…
a couple days had passed since the bookstore incident and the only thing on your mind was him. you had noticed he was following you throughout the store and at some point you looked his way. he was so pretty, everything about him was so pretty but you couldn’t figure out why, like he had bewitched you. it did weird you out a little but you figured out he was admiring you, like when he kept glancing at you as if you didn’t notice, cute.
whatever spell he had on you was working because here you stood, in front of the same bookstore from last week. you entered and smiled softly at the same boy who was now behind the counter. he smiled back but it seemed that maybe he didn’t recognize you. you sighed and went to the same shelf you left before.
renjun smiled to himself as you disappeared behind the shelves. you were back, he was sure he would’ve scared you away after the encounter you two had. he drummed his fingers on the counter, in anticipation that you would hopefully check out a book. that way he could just see you closer. he didn’t know why he was acting this way, just something about you. whatever, renjun thought, distracting himself with logging in orders.
you picked up the very same book you left previously and walked over to the register. renjun smiled softly at you then looked at the book, this was his chance to make a move, he thought. oh? the book from last week? no that’s too weird.. fun book i’ve read this one well no he hasn’t read it. can i have your number now his brain was just spewing out anything.
“last week from book?” he sputtered out, cheeks flushing at what he said. you looked at him, trying to hold back a laugh. renjun pursed his lips and looked down at the keyboard, logging in the check out. he slid the book towards you along with a slip of paper. “sign there and you can head out” his voice was softer, probably because he was embarrassed.
you scribbled your signature and slid the paper to him, smiling softly as you picked up the book and left the store. renjun sighed and flipped over the paper to reveal something unexpected.
‘you’re cute! text me at xxx-xxx-xxxx - yn’
renjun smiled softly and put the piece of paper in his pocket. if anyone else were to say how renjun acted the rest of the day, they would say he had a permanent smile glued onto his face.
author's note hello beloved ! hope this lives up to your expectations :3 dni if you sexualize age regression warnings none
do NOT let renjun find out you’re sick
he will literally end you
not actually but like
you will feel like he will because he’s beating the words per minute world record as he scolds you
he told you staying up late like you have been lately is bad for you
he told you not eating just because you don’t feel like cooking would end badly
but noooooooooooooo
you never listen
and so you get the straitjacket treatment from renjun, wrapped up tight in blankets under layers and layers of clothes
you’re on a strict diet of vegetable cream, soup, and water. want something warm? tea. something cold? no way.
literally looks like he’s on the verge of tears the whole time
hates seeing you moaning and groaning and just overall in pain :( his poor baby :(
leaves mask-covered kisses all over your face because they’re the only bits of exposed skin on your body
yes, he’s wearing a mask. he doesn’t wanna get sick because if you get him sick then how can he nurse you back to health? what if he gets sick as you’re getting better and then gets you sick again and begins a never-ending cycle? he won’t have it
refuses to let you watch tv all day even if you’re sick unlike some people
coughjenocough
reads you books aloud. picture books and chapter books, classics and fresh off the printer. if you’re ever sick and jun is not around-
first of all, the minute you text him to let him know he’ll gasp so loud the people around him will think somebody has died or something more serious
because it is serious to him
but basically, if jun is away and you gotta deal with a yucky sickness on your own, you can rely on a collection of audios of jun-voiced audiobooks and lullabies that he gave you as a gift after the first time you were left alone
about that time, he cried.
not even being dramatic, he actually cried
hearing your Little voice shiver over the phone, your teeth chattering... if he closed his eyes he could see you curled up in a fetal position with a clogged nose and no strength to even use the restroom.
he was heartbroken
he honestly felt like a failure to leave you alone when you needed him most
once you were no longer under the weather you tried to console him, telling him there was no way he could’ve known you were going to be sick while he was gone and that after a nap you slipped out of Little Space and managed to nurse yourself to health but he wasn’t having any of it
he’s so stubborn sigh ..
but since then, every time you get sick with him around you can always hear a hint of a smile in his scolding because yeah, you might be sick, and yeah, it's probably because of your poor health decisions when Big, but at least he’s here to take care of you this time
nct dream como... personagens de arcane! ୭ gênero. headcanon w. nenhum significativo, não corrigido, ah vão ter alguns termos em inglês an. minha obsessão gente
ওㅤmark como — o boy savior — ekko
todo mundo sabe que se o mark não fosse asiático ele seria preto, e tem preto com mais molho que o ekko nessa série?? sem contar que as personalidades podem bater muito aqui, o ekko sacrificou muita coisa para salvar e proteger o seu povo e as pessoas que ele amava, mark teria feito o mesmo. ele se sacrificou por um sonho então nada o impediria de sacrificar a felicidade dele para salvar o dia.
ওㅤrenjun como — o agora machine herald — viktor
esse eu ainda fiquei meio pensativa, tipo, o renjun realmente faria o que o viktor faria? cheguei a conclusão que o injun é um tanto imprevisível então existe a chance de 50% de que sim, mas também não. viktor começou como um cientista que queria ajudar o seu povo para um — praticamente — robô que desistiu da sua humanidade e que queria fazer os outros desistirem também, mas a força. é um arco interessante e eu acho que super combinaria com o injun!
ওㅤjeno como — o undercut mcqueer — violet
guys, hear me out, todo mundo sabe que o jeno tem aquela aparência mais "dura" "máscula" e "forte" mas no fundo a gente também sabe que ele é alguém que precisa de muito carinho e amor e que se você fazer carinho nele ele vai te olhar tal qual esse emoji 🥺, ele é literalmente a violet. ele se faz de forte pq ele precisa ser, talvez pelas vivências nas ruas de zaun ou na prisão, mas no secreto ele é uma pessoa mais suave, ainda bruta, mas de um jeito mais suave. amou a primeira pessoa que enxergou ele como além da "criança do vander" e ficou mal quando a perdeu. ama o irmão, mas as vezes ele só não consegue suportar as atitudes dele, pq pra ele a moral ainda está acima das vontades dele.
ওㅤhaechan como — o chickenshit gadgets — jinx
calma lá, ele não é lá taooooo jinx mas ele poderia ser um pouco jinx sim! acho que a energia sassy que o hyuck me passa me fez decidir colocar como a jinx. ele é inteligente e esperto, do tipo street smart, sabe se esgueirar entre lugares pequenos mas também é espalhafatoso, chama atenção. deve ouvir vozes algumas vezes e deixa os pensamentos intrusivos falarem mais altos que a moral de vez em quando. se gêmeos fosse de fogo diria que tem uma conexão com a jinx ser formada pelo fogo, mas já que é de ar vou dizer que é referência a janna, que é a protetora de zaun.
ওㅤjaemin como — o count fagula — caitlyn
não é pra alimentar as nominzeras não! mas eu vejo muito o jaemin como a cait, foi um dos que eu coloquei sem nem hesitar. ele é um menino rico das "politicas" sem nem mesmo querer estar nas políticas, ele foi criado para não ter preconceitos mas leva isso muito a sério as vezes. é um amor de primeira mas não o traía, nem faça mal as pessoas que ele ama (quando ele perdeu a mãe foi um ótimo exemplo de que se machucou um dele, e vai machucar d evolta). apesar de amar o parceiro ele sabe que é necessário fazer sacrifícios na vida. trairia a ambessa tbm 100% de certeza.
ওㅤchenle como — o man of progress — jayce
esse daqui pra ser sincera eu não acho que combina não, mas o jayce é importante ent resolvi deixar ele ao invés de só substituir 👍. não tenho muito que comentar mas aqui alguns pontos: odiado no começo por muitos, é um cara rico que tem seus privilégios, também é esperto mas ao contrário do jinx ele é mais book smart, sabe o que está fazendo mas vai xingar ele por isso mesmo assim, odiou matar o viktor mas foi necessário para cessar o ciclo que ele estava criando.
ওㅤjisung como — o 🤙🤜🤛🫵 — isha
a isha foi criada só pra plot e pra gente chorar? sim! mas queria colocar ela aqui pq ela é literalmente o jiji: neurodivergente e não-verbal. o jisung é tímido, mas aqui eu acho que ele escolheria ser não-verbal por algum trauma ou algum problema também. sobre ser neurodivergente… tenho minhas dúvidas, convivo com um mas não sei o bastante para apontar ou diagnosticar o jiji como, mas eu vejo a isha como uma então vou considerar nesse headcanon aqui. ele super trataria o warwick que nem um cachorro também e é o side-kick meio atrapalhado do nosso jinx.
a/n: i know i was supposed to post this on friday oops 😭 i just...have so many thoughts when it comes to love and these boys are some of my greatest muses
genre: fluff/slice-of-life maybe, just love, different types of love, young dumb broke kids in love, LOVE, idk did i say they’re in love yet, tw: mentions of kissing & hickeys lol
word count: 1.4k (idk either man)
MARK
gif credits: @jsuh
that moment when you realize how much someone truly loves you
guitars that have so many stickers, you can barely see the wood
buying a new fuzzy blanket
the little scratch of stubble when you kiss
laughing when his glasses poke you in the forehead
falling asleep with your legs on top of his on the couch
massaging his head when he’s had a long day
oversized sweatshirts to avoid the paparazzi when he’s coming over
long facetime calls even though it’s three in the morning in his time
voice messages instead of texts bc he wants to hear your voice
hearing your voice in a song
turning your little doodles into the cover of his next solo
whispers about the future that dissolve into the hot summer sky as he looks at you with eyes filled with hope
musky cologne that reminds you of the forest after it rains
the color gray
love.
RENJUN
gif credits: @faerenjun
never letting you open the door yourself
succulents for every anniversary until you have a forest in the living room
brushing his lips over your forehead before he leaves for work
having a faceless picture of you and him as his background
buying you a necklace with his initials and a matching bracelet with yours
always, always, always feeding you because he’s scared you won’t eat if he’s not there
teaching you mandarin and kissing you every time you get a word right
filming a ‘day in my life’ vlog every couple weeks that you rewatch on your anniversary to see how you’ve grown
sunset lamps that don’t work the way he thought they would
painting together in absolute silence
having a french window with billowing curtains and a bench that the two of you sit on
adopting a dog together only to find out that the dog is a demon
fighting for the remote but he lets you win every time
rubbing your shoulders when you’re stressed
forgetting why you were so stressed when you look at him working so serenely
love.
JENO
gif credits: @seomarkno
the thunder that rolls in ten seconds after lightning that shakes the high-rise apartment
quiet cups of coffee as the two of you wait for the rest of the world to wake up
words of endearment that are saved only for the most intimate moments
the wracking shoulders when he tries not to cry because he doesn’t want to burden you
the soft comfort in sleeping in his arms
the feeling of all of his worry melting away when you reach for him, even in your sleep, and look for his love
the color red that stains your white dress when you and jeno get wine drunk
waiting for the other to come home to them
home-cooked meals that are a little too hot so he has to blow on it
fights that turn into whispered i love you’s because he can’t stay away from you for too long
listening to the same song, even when you’re hundreds of miles apart
opening all the jars for you, even if you say you can do it yourself
watching a show together and hoping for different pairings
mature conversations about investing in the future
meeting his family a little too quickly - but it’s okay bc they love you
love.
HAECHAN
gif credits: @huangrenjuns
quirked eyebrows as you vehemently counter his argument about ice cream
making you sit on his lap as he games until ungodly hours to feel your warmth
kissing the nape of his neck bc you love the way he melts in your arms
dropping the cake on his birthday, only for him to eat it anyway so you wouldn’t feel bad
secret getaway trips that you have to beg and plead the company for
telling him how much you love him and seeing his eyes well up
feeling his heart swell with pride when you come home with a new accomplishment
only saying i love you when he really means it - but he says it every morning
gently explaining to you why you should love yourself the way he loves you
green accents everywhere bc you think it’s vibrant
calling him a loser affectionately
looking at him like he put the stars in the sky
the deep rumble of his chest when you’re curled into him
the way he hums when he thinks you’re not listening but you are
being able to calm you down within 30 seconds no matter what
love.
JAEMIN
gif credits: @jaemtens (thank u for doing the lord’s work)
letting him play with your hair until it looks ridiculous
making peach cobbler but you accidentally added too much sugar
waking him up with a mug of fresh coffee and so much affection
letting him pull you into a dark corner to press a soft kiss to your lips
him tugging a blanket over you as you fall asleep waiting for him
carrying you from the kitchen counter to the sofa, insisting that he was going to cook for you tonight
letting him buy you pink accessories bc he says you look soft
getting the silent treatment from him when he’s mad but he can never stay mad for too long
promising him that you’re never going to leave him when he’s scared about your relationship getting discovered
surprising him backstage at an overseas concert
seeing his eyes light up when you walk into the room, no matter how long it’s been since you started dating
feeling the hard planes under his shirt when you bandage his back after a long dance practice
texting you at insane hours to sneak over to his place and order takeout
frowning when he sees you wear revealing clothes only to say, “you wear whatever you want, baby. i can fight.”
he can’t fight but he tries to seem tough for you anyway bc that’s what he thinks you want. you don’t. all you want is him.
love.
CHENLE
gif credits: @jjsungie
oversized jerseys which all say ‘curry’ on them somewhere
buying him presents only to find out that he already has it
seeing him cry when you tell him about your deep and personal secrets bc he’s never felt so much pain for someone else before
convincing you to get matching tattoos but both of you pussy out
renting out an entire arcade to go on a date
not letting him rent out an entire arcade bc wtf who does that chenle
always celebrating your anniversaries in a lowkey, private, and humble way
going 50/50 on everything in the relationship even if chenle would rather die than make you pay
playing rock, paper, scissors to decide how to split the chores. for. everything.
playing cards against humanity except the two of you are just looking for the craziest combinations
brightly colored scrunchies for his hair, not yours
stealing the blankets bc you run cold and he runs hot
wearing sweatshirts to colleges that neither of you attend
sober advice bc he doesn’t understand why you get stressed sometimes
knowing that you compliment each other, rather than complete each other
love.
JISUNG
gif credits: @leemarkies
thinking he’s rizzing you up but it just looks rlly silly
asking you what-if questions at ungodly hours and then leaving you on read
do not disturb until he dies. and then he comes back with a pinterest reaction meme.
feeling frustrated when he can’t tell you how much he really loves you
getting confused between love, lust, and like but knowing that he feels so incredibly safe and warm with you
fighting his instincts to run every time he realizes how down bad he is for you
having to physically drag him out of the dance studio bc he’s going to collapse from exhaustion
not letting anyone but you touch him when he’s sick
telling you abt his dreams to become a big star
rambling about his theories abt humanity and the universe for h o u r s
not realizing that his sweatshirts are disappearing until you wear them around him
nearly having a heart attack the first time you give him a hickey (and then asking for three more)
the purple light glinting in his eyes as he rewatches his stages for mistakes
gently coaxing him to be a little less perfectionist
splitting a pizza with you and thinking it to be peak romance bc it is to you and him
