The way I felt about him I had a hard time putting it into words. He was like literal magic in a person, and the way my soul wanted to entangle with his was but couldn’t killed me. I’d never believed in that first sight kinda love until I saw him and my soul just went “oh there you are..” He was beautiful, but not just on his person. That soul of his was peeking thru that shell of skin like the sun peeks thru curtained windows in the morning. Kissing you awake gently with sweet little nothings. Begging you to come out, and let it touch your skin, and show you everything you’ve been missing while tucked away in bed.
When he looked at me it was a moment I’ll forever seal in my mind, as a breathtaking beauty. I knew he was going to be my undoing, but god I’d let him ruin me 1000 times if it meant I got to feel that for just a while longer. Like I said he was magic, and I unfortunately was a circle of salt.
I’m not saying he was perfect. Well he was, but even hero’s have flaws. But overall it was me that complicated and ruined everything for myself. When people tell you to always expect the unexpected just prepare yourself for anything. Like there’s a saying like you go into work one day and have an office chair. Now that chair is not a duck but the chances of you coming in and your chair being a duck are never zero. I’ve thought about that a lot recently. How yes my life may not have turned into a duck but I sure found a way to duck it all up.
I met him when my life was already complicated. I felt worthless, pathetic, useless, ugly, and so many other things. I felt trapped in a place because well it was a bad situation. I’d only ever had one boyfriend in my 22 years on this planet, and I waited all that time for a joke of a man. A man that wouldn’t even let me get ice cream with my mom.
It was what I felt I deserved and I was going to sit in it. When I met him he showed me everything I thought I knew was not even breaching the surface of what love could be. He showed me more of that in 12 hours than I’d felt in two years. Now I’m sure most of you would think that makes me easy, but you don’t understand that feeling I felt when I saw him.
He gave me a sense of clarity and taught me to really see. It was passion, it was hot, it was old souls catching up to each other after an eternity of searching for the other. It was everything that I’d dreamed of and read about, and I knew that from the first 30 seconds. He was wild and untamable but it was a beautiful chaos I couldn’t help but want to run feee in.
The way it felt to lay in his arms and just be I wouldn’t need anything else. Just simply him. I thought I could have that and it be obtainable, but the chances of things turning to a duck are never actually zero.

Title: Simply, You
Pairing: Seungmin x gender neutral!reader
Triggers: none
~
Seungmin, most people believe, is an enigma. He was both a prefect and head boy, seemed to be good at literally everything, and achieved ‘outstandings’ ‘exceeds expectations’ on every single assignment he received since the beginning of his Hogwarts career.
So why in Merlin’s name did he decide to retire to the countryside and open up a small potions shop instead of becoming something like an Auror, maybe, or even Minister of Magic?
The simple answer: Seungmin is tired of attention, tired of endless expectations placed upon him by his overbearing pureblood line. He’s always wanted to escape to a simpler life, something quieter and smaller than the grandiose party life he’s been forced to live in since he was a child.
The even simpler answer: he’s fallen in love with you.
Muggle-born, exceedingly talented, you gave him his first black eye when he made a disparaging comment toward you in your first year. He cringes when he remembers the rude, childish boy he used to be - he really believed in that pureblood stuff, seriously - but that was who he was. And you were right to punch him for it.
You never wanted to see him again, you made that much clear for the rest of the year. But somehow, your interests kept aligning - both of you loved arithmancy and ancient runes, tolerated history of magic, excelled in charms and potions, and loathed divination. When the time came to choose electives, you ended up in the same ones. Your test scores, then your OWLs were on par.
It was like the universe was doing everything to put you two together.
Seungmin’s parents tried to force him into a rivalry with you, goading him about the fact that a muggle-born, not even a half-blood, was doing as well as he was (and sometimes better) in school. At first, Seungmin listened. But as the years went on, the rivalry faded, and Seungmin realized just how much he admired you.
He counts himself lucky that the two of you made up in fifth year, leaving him enough time to become your friend before working up the courage to ask you to the Yule Ball in your sixth. When you walked down the stairs in rich blue dress robes, Seungmin really thought his heart stopped for a minute. Eyes sparkling under the chandelier lights, you looked gorgeous.
From there, it was only a matter of time before Seungmin fell entirely head over heels for everything about you.
His parents disowned him. It was fine, really - he’d long stopped caring about them, and though it stung a bit that he’d been flung aside so easily, his favorite great-uncle (also disowned) left him a generous portion of gold to live off of while trying to find a place to live.
Seungmin’s living his dream life now. He maintains contact with only those he cares for and has a job that he’s proud of. It’s always fun when Jisung and Felix let themselves in unexpectedly for a visit, or when Hyunjin calls from Korea to let him know how his ambassadorship is going.
And it’s even better, he thinks, because he lives with the one he lives.
“I’m home!” Seungmin calls, bag floating onto a couch as he closes the door behind. A fragrant, potion-y smell emanates from the kitchen where you emerge, soot on your face and in your hair, but still as vibrant as always.
“Did you roll in the fireplace?” he teases, wrapping his arms around you anyway.
You snort into his shoulder. “No, I decided to take a bath in ashes for fun.”
Seungmin loves this, loves it when he comes home to your snark and laughter. Not caring about the soot staining his skin and clothes, he lets you press a quick kiss to his lips. “Had a good day?”
“Mm, it was fine.” Seungmin grins at the sparkle in your eye. “Better now that I’ve come home.”
