⌗ ꒰ 𝒽irose 𝓇yo x f!reader ꒱ ❤︎ 0.4k, tooth rotting fluff, est. relationship, physical touch, reader calls ryo meanie
⌗ ryo’s cheeks were your favourite facial feature of him, so when they suddenly disappeared, you couldn’t help but act a little dramatic over your loss ࿔*:･ﾟ
메시지: based off my reaction when i saw that his cheeks were literally gone… mochi ryo please come back (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)
you were lazily sprawled out on the sofa with ryo resting his head on your chest, arm wrapped around you like a panda hugging bamboo, busy staring at his screen as he watched silly tiktoks. you too were on your phone, holding it in one hand and your boyfriend’s face in the other. however, you couldn’t help but notice how it seemed harder to pinch ryo’s skin, having to grab a little more than usual. you put your phone down on the space beside you – probably slipping in between the cushions now – and took a closer look at him.
the moment you glanced at his face, you noticed what was wrong. his cheeks were practically gone. when you first started dating ryo, he had soft, full cheeks that were impossible to not squish. it was your favourite thing about him. however, the plush on his face that you adored so much was now missing.
more under the cut!
“what happened?” you grab his face using both of your hands, caressing a thumb against where his cheeks used to be. “they’re… gone.” your jaw unhinged from your face as you seized whatever was left of his baby fat.
he looked up from his phone, a perplexed expression playing on his face. “hm? what is?” his eyebrows knitted closer together as you grasped at his face, not uttering a single word.
“your cheeks, ryo.” your hands dropped from his face, a sense of defeat washing over you. “how am i supposed to kiss your cheeks now?”
“you’re so dramatic, baby.” he chuckles, directing his focus back to his phone. “you can still kiss me. it’s not like i’m gone.” but to you, ryo without his cheeks was no longer ryo.
a loud sigh fell from your mouth, your hand reverting back to your boyfriend’s hair, carding through his brown locks. “can you please bring your cheeks back?” you whined, poking at the lack of fat on his face.
“i can’t just bring it back, babe.” he laughed at how dramatic you were acting over this small matter. “and can you stop… doing that…” he snatched your hand away from his face, holding it tightly in his. “it hurts.”
“maybe you should think before getting rid of your cheeks, you meanie.”

“Ugh, this essay is stupid. I can’t believe we didn’t even get to pick the topic from a list! How are they expecting us to write a good essay when the topic is already picked for us? I didn’t even read the chapters of the book I’m supposed to write about…” You glared at the screen of your computer, a completely empty document open with merely the date and your name on the page. How were you going to get a one thousand word essay to appear on the page? You had no idea.
“Did you read the chapters, by any chance?” You asked as a final resort, turning to your boyfriend who was pretending to be asleep on the table.
He opened one eye, “Not a chance. I used sparknotes.”
“Of course you did.” You groaned, glancing at the essay prompt and back to your empty page. “But you finished the essay last week…” Dating the top student in your class should’ve meant you also had an easier time. At least, that’s what you had originally thought. You hadn’t heeded Sakuya’s warnings when he told you that Ryo was just smart, lazy, and lucky. He didn’t even have to study.
“Study dates are overrated. Like, we’re not even being productive.” Ryo pointed out, clicking his mechanical pencil repeatedly, not a single mark having been made on his physics worksheet.
“Who said this was a date?” You questioned, slouching back against the couch.
“Wasn’t it a date? Is it not?” Ryo sat up, giving a disappointed look at you.
“I mean… I guess it could be? We’re not doing anything very… date-like.”
“True…” Ryo crossed his arms, thinking about something. “What if we just… traded?”
You raised an eyebrow, “Should I really trust you to write my essay?”
He shrugged, “Like you said, I already finished mine. Better that I write it than for you to just sit there not writing it, right?” He pointed out. He was right, you had to give him that. Minutes later you were staring down at his physics homework, getting to work on the first problem. You had finished about half of the worksheet when you heard Ryo shut the laptop.
“You can’t have finished already—”
Ryo pouted, “This date sucks.”
You ignored his complaint and went back to the worksheet, knowing he would probably get over it and open the computer again in a few minutes. Probably.
Instead, he crept closer to you, resting his chin on your shoulder, his fluffy hair tickling your cheek. But, you still tried to focus on the work. There was a chance that he was just feeling a bit clingy and after a few minutes he’d go back to work. Right?
Wrong.
“You’re doing it wrong.” He said quietly, “The formula for wavelength is speed divided by frequency. There’s no multiplication in this question.”
“You were the one who wanted me to do this for you, dumbass!” You defended, dropping the pencil in defeat, “Physics goes way over my head every time. You’ve seen my test scores.”
Ryo lifted his head off your shoulder, crossing his arms, “Well, I didn’t know you’d be this dumb. They give you the formula right there!” He pointed to the top of the paper where the formulas were indeed listed. Okay… maybe you were dumber than you thought.
You bit your lip, trying to calm the steaming anger that was brewing in your head over your stupidly smart attractively so boyfriend, “What about my essay? Did you even write anything?”
“Well, no. But if I did, I would’ve done better than you on the physics.”
You sighed, “This is a waste of our time…”
“Agreed.”
“There’s probably something more productive we cou—” In the blink of an eye, your boyfriend had shoved you down onto the floor (gently), pinning your hands over your head and hovering over you with a mischievous grin that you were a bit wary of.
“What are you doing?” You whispered, your voice barely coming out louder than a whisper from your shocked (and quite flustered) state.
“Something more productive.” He said simply, before capturing your lips with his before another second passed. You couldn’t argue that his idea of productivity was much more in line with yours. You would take the taste of his lips over confusing physics problems any day.
After dating Ryo for over a year, kissing him was like second nature. Your hands found their place in his hair, threading through the soft locks, using it to pull his face closer to yours. Maybe it was just that the kiss felt that good, or maybe it was wanting to avoid the homework for as long as possible, but neither you nor Ryo wanted it to end.
By the time you both sat up again, your heads clearing from the dizzying kiss and the aftertaste of your cherry lip balm lingering on both of your lips, Ryo’s hair was a complete mess. You giggled and started to fix it for him, combing your fingers through the small tangles that had developed. His face was cutely flushed, a stark contrast to his previous confidence.
“So,” He cleared his throat before continuing, “Maybe we should get back to work?”
“Yeah… sounds like a good plan.” You said, not an ounce of your focus on the physics or essay, but entirely on Ryo’s red lips, slightly swollen from your lips.

okay and then another idea i had 🥹 ryo just adored sakuya and they have like a bunch of matching friendship stuff including these likeSKDSKDJ THEYRE SO CUTE
but what if y/n got jealous that ryo had all this stuff matching with sakuya and not her </3 and so she's determined to make matching bracelets or rings handcrafted for ryo and her :(
soulmatched
# author's note … ugh i love them sm :((( and those trinkets are so adorable why are they so cute :((
# warnings … a bit angsty but comes with fluff n humor (i think) !! it’s only bc yn is jealous and ryo doesn’t realize why… just teenage love tbh, i love capturing those imperfections of young love because in the end, we’re only humans and we always learn<3
you absolutely adored the relationship your boyfriend had with his boyfriend best friend. they were absolutely the cutest, more often than not causing mischief. you were often included too but you and sakuya being the angels, usually ryo got scolded. it’s not like it stopped him from pulling pranks either way.
you often spend time together, all 3 of you. going shopping, watching movies or baking. and you don’t mind, sakuya is absolutely the sweetest.
but lately there was something that started bugging you a bit.
you noticed it once when ryo had a new ring on his finger.
“ooh, fancy! where did you get that from?” you asked, taking his hand and looking at it up close.
he grinned wildly, sparks of excitement twinkling in his ebony eyes.
“saku bought it for us! i got the blue one and he got the pink one! isn’t it just the cutest?” ryo hummed and failed to notice the small frown forming on your face.
“yeah, just adorable” you nodded. it was true, the ring was adorned with small flowers and definitely looked even more cute when put together with the matching one.
but you couldn’t figure out why you felt a momentary pang in your heart.
scrolling through instagram, you saw another bunch of photos posted on nct wish’s official profile. a subconscious smile formed on your lips upon seeing your boyfriend’s cute face. but on the next photos he was hugging sakuya tightly, poking his cheeks… and sakuya poking his…
a small sigh escaped your lips. you’re not jealous, definitely not over his best friend.
what do people say? denial is the first stage of acceptance–
no, you’re not in denial. you’re being reasonable and just…
a ringtone caused you to pull you out from your thoughts. even without looking at the caller id, you knew it was ryo because he had his separate ringtone set.
“hi baby! what’s up?” you asked excitedly. then you realized he called on facetime. upon seeing his face you grinned.
“look, i went shopping with saku and there’s this really cute t-shirt with a cat! do you want it?” he asked and flipped the camera. you nodded, the piece of clothing being adorable indeed.
but something else caught your attention.
“hey, ryobear! what do you think about those? we could put some keyrings and plushies on it too!” sakuya’s voice was muffled by the chatter of other people in the mall but you were able to fish out the nickname he called your boyfriend.
the nickname you came up with, the nickname only you used and… thought ryo liked when only you called him that.
“do you not like it?” ryo’s voice sounded a bit worried. you shook your head and smiled quickly, not realizing a pout formed on your lips.
“no, it’s really cute. don’t buy it tho, i’ll order it myself. just go buy some ice cream with sakuya or something” you mumbled and ryo flipped the camera, now a piece of the younger boy in the frame too.
“hi y/n!” he greeted you enthusiastically.
“hi! and, um, bye. i need to go, i forgot i left the stove on. talk to you later!” words left your mouth like a waterfall and before ryo could reply, you hung up.
the bitter feeling in your heart definitely wasn’t jealousy.
with a grunt and angry step, you walked to the kitchen… even though you knew the stove wasn’t on.
sulking silently, you decided on bargaining. you won’t detach those two but you could make some stuff to match with your boyfriend. which is why, right now, you’re struggling a bit with putting the beads on a string in order to craft cute bracelets.
“hello, hello! anyone home?!” ryo called out suddenly and you frowned, remembering he has the key to your place.
“hi, ryo” you hummed and he located you “oooh, what’s that?”
you sighed and slumped your shoulders upon being caught in act.
“that was supposed to be a surprise but… you spoiled it…” you grunted and your boyfriend sat down next to you.
“matching bracelets?” he thought out loud, grabbing one ”but that’s sakuya and mine thing…”
breath got stuck in your throat and you felt your heart fall apart like a lego building getting knocked over.
“i mean… you don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to…” your voice was small, trembling a bit. mix of negative emotions washed over you, mostly sadness.
ryo’s eyes darted over to look at you and he saw your expression. his heart sunk upon seeing your reaction.
“no, i didn’t mean it this way! it’s just… saku makes those for us and–” he started.
“i know. you match everything and post cute pictures and he calls you nicknames… just best friend stuff, i know” a huff left your lips, maybe a bit too aggressive than you intended. ryo blinked slowly, his big eyes clueless.
“you call me nicknames too… and we, look, see, we also have matching stuff! and we take pics as well…” he tilted his head, looking like a lost puppy.
“yeah. you do alllll the stuff with me just like you do with sakuya. does he give you kisses too, hm?” you grunted and crossed your arms, not in the mood to continue the craft.
then it clicked in ryo’s head, all pieces coming together.
you were jealous.
rightfully so...
“no! no, no. that’s only reserved for you” he started, unsure how to approach you without upsetting you further “y/n, do you feel… neglected?”
you looked over at him and the look in your eye revealed the answer for him before your lips did.
“maybe”
“is it because me and sakuya spend a lot of time together and have friendship tok–” he started.
“yes! and he even calls you ryobear! i remember when you whined about riku calling you that!” you shook your head, pouting. maybe it was childish behaviour but you had to take it off your chest.
“i’m sorry… i didn’t know it’ll make you feel that way” ryo mumbled.
“it’s okay, he can have the nickname. i’ll just call you rye then” a small smirk sneaked on your lips, teasing him. his brows furrowed.
“that’s awful! i’ll tell him to come up with another nickname” he smiled upon seeing that you cheered up a bit, the conflict left behind “let’s finish those bracelets, hm? i wanna wear it already”
“i think you’re forgetting something” you grinned and fought a grin that wanted to bloom on your lips.
ryo leaned and pecked your cheeks gently before cupping them. with a serious look painted on his cute face, he sighed.
“i’m really sorry, i promise we’ll do that lovey-dovey cringe couple stuff from now on more often” his ebony eyes twinkled happily and he left a tender, sweet kiss on your lips.
backing off, he rolled his eyes playfully.
“i’ll make such a pretty bracelet everyone will be soooo jealous” he puffed his chest out and started looking through the beads to look for your favorite color.
you rested your head on your shoulder and he pecked your hair.
“mhm, it’ll probably look like a 5-year-old child made it” you teased and before you could realize, his hands snuck to your waist and started tickling your weak spots.
“what did you say?! that’s not true!” he laughed and you couldn’t help to laugh as well, forgetting all the reasons why you were jealous in the first place. after all, ryo was your soulmate and you had to accept the match with him… and his best friend.

“Where’d the light pink go? I swear I had it next to the eraser…”
Ryo had to fight back a mischievous grin at your confusion. The pink coloured pencil was tucked safely in his back pocket, but you didn’t need to know that. He had felt a bit bored today, and the desire to pull a small prank on you had developed in almost an instant.
Sure, drawing with you was relaxing and all. Ryo loved to see what you would create. He always got giggly when you decided to draw him. You were quite good at drawing, often leaving your boyfriend in admiration, falling even more in love with you just from the sight of your doodles. But he was in the mood for a little chaos. Peacefully drawing with his girlfriend seemed insipid.
“Maybe it’s still in the case?” Ryo suggested innocently, humming along to the music you had put on. He was awfully good at looking like an angel who could absolutely do nothing wrong, but in reality, he fit the description of a little troublemaking demon. You didn’t think anything of it, picking up a slightly darker shade of pink for now.
“I’m going to go use the bathroom real quick.” You told your boyfriend after another 10 minutes. He nodded at you, his brain scheming something new as he watched you drop your sketchbook on the floor and walk out of the room. Without a second wasted, he grabbed the paper and a red coloured pencil.
By the time you were walking back into the room, you could immediately feel that something was off. One glance at your drawing made your head snap over to your boyfriend’s figure, innocently erasing some pencil marks on his paper.
“What happened to my drawing, Ryo?”
The boy shrugged, blinking up at you with wide eyes. You caught the slight smirk he was holding back, though. Picking up the drawing, now adorned with red devil horns and a ferocious dragon in the corner terrorising your peaceful countryside landscape, you glared at your boyfriend. Ryo couldn’t help but giggle a bit at your look, knowing that he couldn’t deny his involvement.
“I just made it a bit more interesting!” Ryo declared.
You stared at him then back at the paper. The drawing had been going so well. The trees and flowers you had added were some of the best you had ever done, and your perspective on the little farmhouse had finally looked accurate. You usually struggled the most with perspective and angles, and you were devastated at seeing the messy red pencil marks all over your perfect drawing. A frown started to form on your face and your lip jutted out in a pout.
“It was one of my best drawings…” You sunk to the floor, shoulders sagging in defeat. You wouldn’t cry over it, but the disappointment and frustration you felt was overwhelming. Ryo held almost all of your admiration, but times like these made you wonder why he was doing this to you.
“I’m sorry- I should’ve asked before ruining it.” Ryo said softly, scooting closer to you on the floor. “Do you want to ruin mine in return?”
You looked up at Ryo’s drawing that he offered you, a small smile slowly replacing your pout. He had drawn a portrait of you. It wasn’t the best ever, but it was adorable. He had added a bunch of hearts around you and text on your shirt that said ‘best girlfriend in the world’.
“No, I’m not mean like you.” You teased, now showing him a bright smile.
Ryo pouted, “I won’t do it again. I promise!”
Your eyes narrowed at him, “You would without even thinking twice.”
He grinned, “Guilty.”
Though you had already forgiven him for ruining your drawing, that didn’t stop you from reminding him about it throughout the day in order to get free kisses. He knew exactly what you were doing— using his guilt for your own benefit— but he obliged in your want for kisses without complaining. Kissing you was always a win in his book.
