idea: tbh, i feel like renjun could be a slytherin too. however, i feel like he fits in ravenclaw pretty well. he’s someone who’s creative, wise, competitive, he also seems pretty intelligent and that he likes to learn? i also really wanted to make this moodboard since i’m a ravenclaw too :)
[11:32am] : renjun hands you his favourite moomin plush as he softly begins to speak, “now this is only a temporary arrangement in case you want cuddles while i’m gone. as soon as i come back, you have to promise to return him.” you let out a small giggle, wrapping your arms around his neck, “i promise renjunie” you bury your face into his shirt in an attempt to stop him from seeing the tear roll down your cheek. his manager calls out for him causing you to tighten your grip, not ready to let him go again. he lightly grips your chin, forcing you to look at him, “i love you y/n”, he places one last kiss on your lips. before you release him and clutch on to the moomin plush, “i love you too”

You slammed the door to your shared apartment, soaking wet and tears streaming down your face.
You’d been waiting for your boyfriend to show up at the cafe for your date for an hour when he texted you that he had to cancel. You weren’t that surprised he cancelled, yet another, date so you just locked your phone and started walking back to your apartment.
You were surprised, however, when you saw him pressing a girl up against a wall and shoving his tongue down her throat. You bolted at the sight of that.
How could he? You’ve been dating for a year an a half now and you thought everything was going fine. Yeah, he frequently cancelled plans, but you just brushed it off since he was a busy person. Apparently, he was a busy person, just with another girl...
You didn’t even realize it had started raining until you made it to your apartment complex and the front desk lady shot daggers at you for leaving puddles with each step you made. You didn’t care for her attitude and just went straight to the elevator and pressed your floor button.
You were currently in your room, crying on your bed as the sheets turned dark from your soaked clothes. You didn’t care. They’ll dry.
“I didn’t realize you’d be back so early and ordered some take out a little bit ago, but I don’t think I can finish it if you want some,” you heard your roommate and best friend, Renjun say as he entered your room. He was looking at his phone, checking over the delivery time, but immediately looked up at you when he heard sniffles come from your nose. “Oh my god y/n you’re soaking wet! What happened? Are you okay?” he shoved his phone into his back pocket and dashed the few feet to your bed.
You felt the bed dip as he climbed on. You looked away from him, not wanting to show your blotchy face to him, but he stopped you. He placed both his hands on your cheeks and guided your head so he could look at you. “What happened?” he asked, his features cast down, obviously upset that his best friend is crying.
“I saw him with another girl,” you said, your voice cracking at the end. “I’m so stupid. I should’ve known he was cheating on me.” More tears spilled out of your eyes as you pulled your head away from Renjun’s hands.
Renjun bit his lip nervously. He knew you’d find out eventually, but he wishes you didn’t find out like that. He’s known for quite a while and he always felt guilty for never telling you. How could he?

It had only been a couple months since you started dating your boyfriend when Renjun saw him with another girl. Specifically, making out with another girl. Renjun was furious. How could someone cheat on you? Why would someone want to cheat on you? He stormed his way up to your boyfriend and confronted him about it right then and there.
“Don’t tell y/n unless you want me to tell her about your little crush on her,” he smirked down at Renjun.
“I don’t like her like that. Y/n is just my best friend.” Renjun furrowed his eyebrows together. He wishes he wasn’t lying and he wish he wasn’t such a bad lier. He’s liked you since high school, but you never showed signs of liking him back and he never wanted to ruin your friendship so he kept quiet.
“You’re so obvious, I’m surprised y/n never caught on,” your boyfriend quirked an eyebrow at Renjun. “Then again, she’s not that bright so,” he shrugged. The girl next to him snickered.
That was the first time Renjun ever threw a punch and the first time he ever got one thrown back at him. When he came home that day, you immediately dragged him into your room and started tending to the cut on his cheek. You asked him what happened, but he just said he walked into a tree. You were sceptical of his answer but didn’t question him further.

Now, it was Renjun tending to your wound, but this time it couldn’t be fixed with just a bandage.
He just sighed, angry at himself for being too scared to tell you about his feelings and angry at your boyfriend for being such an asshole.
Renjun wrapped his arms around your shaking frame and pulled you close to his chest. You initially tried struggling, telling him you didn’t want to get his clothes all wet, but he didn’t let you go. You eventually gripped the front of his shirt and sobbed into it.
It took a while for you to calm down to a few sniffles every few seconds, but that’s when you loosened your grip on your friend’s shirt. “I’m sorry for getting your shirt all wet... and crinkling it up... and probably getting snot on it..” you glanced down at your hands. They were folded between the both of your laps.
Renjun chuckled at your comment. “It’s just a shirt. I’ll clean it up later,” he smiled as he tried patting down the wrinkles. “Are you feeling okay?” he asked.
You shook your head. “I just wish I wasn’t so stupid to fall for him,” you angrily pout.
“He didn’t show his real self to you. You couldn’t tell.” Renjun reassured.
“But so many people told me not to date him,” you finally look up at Renjun. “He always cancelled our dates and avoided me half the time. He never answered my texts and only called when he wanted something. I was so blind. Why couldn’t I have just dated someone like you?” you angrily pick at your wet shirt. “You do everything for me even when I don’t want you to. You always remind me about important dates because you know I’ll forget them and always cook the morning of so I don’t starve and forget everything because I have an empty stomach. You make sure I get back home safe when I drink too much or come pick me up when I’m supposed to drive back but I’m too smashed to do it.. You always listen to my dumb problems and worries even at 4am when you have an exam the next day but you say it’s fine because you studied already,” you huff out. “I just wish I didn’t date such assholes all the time.”
You fall back on your bed, exhausted from getting all worked up over your shitty relationship problems and using up a whole lung and a half while ranting to Renjun about it.
“What if you did date me?” Renjun quietly said. You slowly sit up, not sure if you heard him correctly. He’s not looking at you and instead, looking down at the sheets, absentmindedly picking at a stray thread. You can see the tips of his ears burn red.
“What?” you ask, needing a clarification.
“I like you, y/n. I’ve liked you since freshman year of high school,” he glances up at you. You just look at him in disbelief and he takes your shocked silence as a rejection. “I’m sorry for suddenly telling you this, especially when you just saw your asshole boyfriend do that, but I just wanted to let you know,” he says sadly. He pushes himself off your bed and heads towards the door.
He doesn’t get very far because you immediately catch his wrist. He looks back at you, his sad expression replaced with a surprised one.
“Renjun, I like you too. I thought that was obvious,” you huff out a laugh.
“Huh?”
“I’ve liked you since we became friends and I was always dropping hints to you. You never seemed to notice so I just thought you thought of me as just a friend,” you shake your head in disbelief. “I started dating other guys to try to get rid of my feelings for you, but it never worked...”
“What?” Renjun just stared at you, shocked at your confession.
“I literally just told you I liked you back and that’s your response?” You glared up at him. Your cheeks were a bright pink from spilling your feelings, but you were far from feeling shy at this point.
“I’m sorry I’m just... really shocked. I thought you always saw me as just a friend and I always tried to push my feelings away because I never wanted to lose you as a friend,” he stuttered out. “you know? It’s better to be friends and still talk to you than having to be awkward and our friendship fall apart because you didn’t feel the same way and I don’t know I’m just really surprised but I’m really happy because I can’t believe -”
You rolled your eyes at your best friend. He had a habit of spewing everything that was on his mind when he got nervous and you always thought it was cute, but this time you just wanted him to shut up. You scooted yourself off your bed and stood up in front of him. He was too busy rambling to noticed you until you pressed your lips against his in an attempt to make him be quiet.
It was a short kiss, more like just a peck, but it did the job. “I get it. We both like each other so do you want to go out?” you raise an eyebrow at him.
“Yes!” he blurts out a little too fast. You snort at his response time and lean in to kiss him again.
You wrap your arms around his neck as you feel him snake his arms around your waist. It sends tingles up your spine and you jerk a tiny bit, not expecting the shivers. Renjun smiles into the kiss and when you eventually break away, he’s still smiling.
He can’t contain his happiness as he brings you into a tight hug. You just laugh at his actions but hug him back nonetheless. Your soaked clothes seep into his dry ones. They cling onto each of your bodies and it should be uncomfortable, but you’re wrapped in Renjun’s warm arms. Nothing could take away from this moment.
Even when you wake up sick the next day from spending too much time in your wet clothes, you smile because you wake up in Renjun’s arms.
