the suns rays disperse through the gaps of leafs of the oak you’re both sat under. you turn to your left to face the man that you’ve loved for going on 4 years now and he’s grown so much. hair that used to be frayed and crazed is now long and relaxed — he doesn’t look as lost as he used to. he’s not as shy or timid as he used to be — in the past always in flight — he takes the time to stay and grow with you to maintain stability in a sense.
“hey? what are you thinking about?” he asks, looking concerned — eyebrows dipped and eyes filled with worry, ready to make things better — to bring you comfort. his right hand raises to brush his thumb along the apple of your cheek. the cold metal of the ring that used to mark him as a curse still ever present but holding a much different meaning.
“nothing yuu, you just look so pretty” you mumble and that makes his cheeks tinge pink. he leans over to press a kiss to your lips that are always so sweet. his left hand presses against your lower back — right cupping your face and pulling you closer.
and although he’s changed from who he used to be he still remains the same man you’ve always loved, your yuu. butterflies still erupt at the sound of your voice or the way that you call his name, but especially at the way your lips warm his unable to hide his giddiness from you sometimes even flushing and sparinging you a lovesick grin.
“i love you,” he whispers enough for you only you to hear — not the random strangers walking on the sidewalk or even the birds that sing in the tree above you — only you “i love you forever and always”.
he places kisses on your bare shoulders — tuffs of your curls tickling his nose ears and his ears red from doing and saying such intimate things in an area as public as this but he means every last thing.
he means it in the way that he delicately presses kisses to your knuckles. picking out stray leaves that fall in your hair, replacing them with flowers. savouring every moment he has with you like it’s his last because some day it will be, but until then he’ll cherish you with everything he has until his last moment.
[18:35] “A few more steps, come on we’re almost there,” Yuta said softly, as you sighed out of impatience. As you slowly took more steps forward, you could feel the ground softening under your feet the further you followed your boyfriend. Your ears picked up on the familiar sound of waves hitting the shore, and you quickly realized where he was taking you. “So this is why you wanted me to wear sandals?” you asked. Yuta started to slow down. Ignoring your question, he slowly takes off your blindfold, now letting you have a clear sight of the view ahead of you. The vast blue ocean spread far out, rivaling the length of the beach the two of you had always came to play on when you were younger. Yuta smiled, and said “I know it’s nothing extraordinary or extravagant, but for our fourth year together I just wanted to show you something beautiful,” while pointing towards the sky. It was a blend of warm orange, with tints of red and tones of yellow spreading into the darkening blue sky. The sun was also halfway through with setting, so you were able to see it peeking out from behind the ocean, it’s rays adding to the blend of orange that has taken over the sky. There were barely any clouds in sight, giving you a clear view of the entire golden hour. Without you noticing, Yuta took out his Polaroid and snapped a photo of you looking out at the sunset with a look of wonder in your eyes. He smiled to himself and took another, wanting to keep one for himself. After putting his camera away, he walked back closer to you, wrapping his arms around you from behind as he rested his chin on your shoulder. You leaned back into him and put your hand over his, closing your eyes as a small breeze passed by. “It’s so beautiful, Yuta. I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to end our special day out,” you said. “I’m glad you like it,” he replied, smiling as he leaned in to give you a kiss. “You should probably start preparing more things like this,” you said slyly, “after all, I don’t intend on ever letting you go.” Yuta laughed. “Oh yeah? And who says I haven’t already prepared things for the next 100 years?” he said cheekily. Then whispering, he added“I don’t plan to ever leave you either,” as he pressed a kiss to your cheek.
"I'm exhausted... Wow, it's already 3 am? I didn't even do much today". It was Friday night, but the clock was ruthlessly pointing at 3."why did it take so long...?" So much for a Friday night "I should hurry home..". After walking for a while unconsciously, "huh...?".
"Oh, silly me. Subways don't run at this hour". Finally after arriving at a subways station, I realized that there is no train running this late. "I guess I am really tired... But, why is the station still open? Did they forget to close it down?". The last train should have left hours ago, but the subway station was still open, and the machine even accepted my metro card. (No wonder I got fooled) when I chuckled bitterly, and was about to leave- "hmm...?" I saw a subway car entering the platform "huh...? They extended the service hour?"
The train is entering the station. Please stand behind the yellow line.
"...okay, I guess they extended the working hours or something". Taking the taxi would cost 10 times more that the subway "well, lucky me" however, I should have known- what was about to happen to me...
"Hmm... Where am i?"
The train was arrived at the last station. Please check for your belongings before exciting the train.
"Huh, what?! Oh my gosh!!" I grabbed my bag and hurriedly jumped out of the train after hearing the announcement. "Oh gosh...! The last station? ... Where is this station anyways..? I should go find a bus or something. And where can I find the bus stop...?!" When I frantically ran up the stairs to exit- an intense light and blast of wind covered my entire body. "What is ... Happening right now...?"
"Where am I?
"Dear brave warrior!!" "The hero has arrived!" "Our hero is here to save us!!" "Hurray! hurray!"
"H-h-hero?!" Since then, I became their hero... A legendary hero. "So, what you're trying to say is- that a brave warrior from another dimension-" "yes, the warrior will vanquish the demon lord and bring peace to our nation" "aha, what a fairy tale..." "And it is you, who will make that fairy tale come true!" As I stood I front of a cave that has a sing that say 'Demon World', I finally spoke on this absurd situation. "I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm really not your hero". "Dear hero, this is the entrance to the demon world" (I expected that he won't listen.) "Okay, look here, gramps-" "dear hero, if you refuse to save us, we have no choice but to-" !!.
People standing behind the chief suddenly clenched their blades in a threatening manner (w-what the heck?! I thought I was your hero! Why are you doing this to me?!) "May the force be with you, hero" "huh..?!" The village chief pushed me into the cave, and I fell into the portal. "Please vanquish the demon lords, our dear hero!!" As I was getting sucked into darkness, I finally noticed what I had to fight against "demon lord... Demon lord you said..?".
"...! Lord! My lord!" "Ughh... w-where am i?" When I opened my eyes with a sharp headache... "Ohh, finally! The human is awake!" "... A pretty boy...?!" "Lord! Lord! Yuta!" "Stop shouting Haechan. You'll frighten the girl" "wow, is Winwin worried about the young lady right now?" "No, Johnny, his voice is just annoying to hear" "hem, not need to be shy" "haha, even though Winwin tends to act prickly sometimes, he's a very kind person" "Please excuse my lord. He tends to say things in an opposite way sometimes" "Yes, I totally agree!" "But still... I think Lord Winwin is a kind person" (what's going on here..? Why are they so...) In front of me where 8 guys in strange, lavish clothes that didn't seem like they were from the real world. So, without any doubt, they are- "demon lord...?" "Correct" "yeah, I'm a demon lord" "demon lord, indeed" "y-yes, I.. I'm a demon lord" "..." This sudden unexpected feeling mixed with fear, annoyance and rage, making my body tremble.
"Are you cold?" "Um, well, I..." "She seems very surprised" "then anyhow, may I know the name of this beautiful young lady?" "Oh, my name? My name is y/n" "y/n? That's a pretty name I'm Johnny lord of the North. And you're a hero correct?" "W-well that's what everyone's saying" "we do not want such an ambiguous answer" "but I don't know how I ended up in this world, and I was just pushed here, so..." "Humans can be stubborn sometimes" "how could they send such a cute girl to the demon world, all on her own? those humans sure are insane." "Y-yup, they're insane!" “ah, okay. Anyways, she's the hero or thingamajig, right? Someone explain this to her please. I hate doing annoying stuff” "me! Me! Haechannie will do it~!" “except haechan, because he's so noisy, and not Winwin because he's rude” "and not you, since you're too lazy to do it" "and ... I ... It's just too hard for me to deal with ladies, so..." "Please exclude lord Jungwoo, since... You all know the reason" "hey, what?! And you're out since you're too serious" "then, how about me?" "Jaehyun is desqualified for being too energetic, so, it's on you, Taeyong" “so that's how it's going to be” "haha" a guy with and innocent-looking eyes came up to me.
"Hello, Ms y/n" "am... Hello..." Because he seems friendly and kind I feel felt slightly at ease. "firstly I'll introduce ourselves. My name is Taeyong, I'm a next demon lord in line and I'm the apprentice of the East" "ah, I see.." "Lord Sicheng of the East" "just call me Winwin" "Lord Jungwoo of the West" "Am, haha" "and he's apprentice, and next lord in line, Doyoung" "..." "Lord Yuta Nakamoto of the South" “look here, this old man is too tired for this. Wrap it up” "Haechan, his apprentice and next lord in line" "heya!" "Lord Johnny of the North" "please, remember my name, beautiful" "and Jaehyun, his apprentice and next lord in line" "hey, I'm Jaehyun! Please to meet you!"
"So, in total, there are 8 demon lords" "demon... Demon lords, haha" "and what you have to do is, you need to-" "I need to destroy the demon-" "you need to marry one of us" "w-...what?" "You need to get married" "p-pardon...?" "Get marri-..." "Huh, what?" "Marr..." "WHAT?!?!!?" the 8 guys frowned at once after hearing me scream. "Married?! Get married?! You mean, like... Bride and groom stuff?!. So why in the world would I do such thing with people like you?!" "So, to make it short, there is a demon king who rules this world. the demon king has absolute power over us, and we cannot disobey his order, and that demon king has ordered a marriage between you and one of us" "I mean, how... How could I get married to someone after meeting for the first time, and... With a demon lord?! C'mon, marriage is not a joke!" "The demon king is aware of you, Ms y/n" "what? He knows about me?".
"Well, you see.." Taeyong hesitated at bit shyly, then finally continued to talk "he... He knows that you're the leg.. leg... Legendary hero from another dimension" I heard laughters bursting from here and there. (C'mon, I'm the one who's embarrassed the most!!!) "The demon king has a high expectation of seeing the offspring between a legendary hero and the strongest demon lord in this world" "but, still... How can anyone ask me to marry a person- oh, I mean a demon lord, who I've just met?!" "If you refuse only death awaits you" "excuse me?" "the demon king has ordered us to execute you- if you don't agree on the marriage" "execute...?!" There was no change of expression among the guys, but this strange atmosphere made me shrivel. "You most decide" Taeyong, with a worried expression, was trying to induce my answer.
(I just woke up from the subway,and people stared saying that I'm this legendary hero. I was threatened to death if I don't destroy the demon lord. And now, I'm being threatened to death if I don't get married to a demon lord?!) "People in this world are..." "..." "*Yawns*" "Yuta, such a sleepy head" "that's no way to act if front of a beautiful lady!" "Haha, Johnny, that's funny coming from you!" "... I guess female beings are hard" "that actitudes won't do, lord" (this is... Too chaotic) "we cannot disobey demon king's order" "..." (Even if I run from here, the village chief will either send me here right back or kill me. And if I don't get married, these guys will kill me.) "Well, I even travelled dimension, so marriage is nothing shocking, but-" "please, you must decide now" Taeyeon and others were eager to pull out an answer from me.
hey b! would you mind if i get a 54+55 badboy yuta realising he is in love with his sweet and shy best friend. thank you 🥺
[ 54: i can’t keep doing this ] + [ 55: then why are you blushing? ]
the prompts
yuta didn't like the way his insides boiled when he saw you talking to taeyong. he didn't know what it meant. was the air too hot or was he simply experiencing his ribs burn?
“hi” you walked cheerfully to his side.
“what were you two talking about?”
“oh” your cheeks broadened with your smile and you looked down. “he asked me to come watch the school’s play with him tonight”
yuta couldn’t do anything but nod. he still sensed his body bursting into flames. and it didn’t seem like it would put out in the near future.
“what did you say?”
“i told him i would get back to him later”
“why?”
“i don’t know” you caressed your arm. “i guess i’m nervous, i don’t really know much about him. hey, you know everyone in the school more than i do. how is he?”
yuta wanted to lie. he wanted to tell you taeyong was a hideous guy with despicable intentions that anyone would want to stay away from. but he couldn’t do that to you. lie to you.
“he’s nice” the truth was that he had never heard anything bad about the boy. he cleared his voice. “yeah, he’s really sweet. you should say yes”
satisfied with your answer, you gave your friend a sweet grin and squeeze on his shoulder.
“thank you. i’ll find him after class”
yuta couldn’t process the periods of the cold war when he was too preoccupied imagining your shy smile on the classroom next door. and how your fingers must be playing with your bracelet like you always do when you’re nervous, planning out all the exact words which you would accept taeyong’s invitation with.
what frightened him the most was the possibility of this becoming the first night from a whole new story. if he was aflame a moment ago, he was sure he had turned to ashes only by thinking about you and taeyong together.
the bell rang and yuta bursted out of the room. you were halfway to where taeyong was standing when he found you.
“y/n” he shouted out, you turning back. “i can’t keep doing this”
“what do you mean?”
“come with me to the play”
“i thought you didn’t like those type of things” you furrowed your eyebrows. yuta took a deep breath.
“i don’t” he said honestly. “but i like you”
your entire expression changed at that. your shoulders lowered and you took a step closer to the boy.
“okay” you sneered. yuta felt his heart blaze up again. the ashes coming back to life. “it’s a date”
“no, no. i was asking to go as friends” he rushed, you letting out a warm chuckle.
“then why are you blushing?”
yuta smiled, becoming aware of the temperature on his cheeks.
“a date” he affirmed with his head defeatedly. your smile grew and together with it, so did the butterflies in your stomach. perhaps the one you already knew was who it was meant to lit up your bones.
