My Entire Universe (Hyunjin x Reader)
A/N: I wrote this at 3am two nights ago when I had to wake up early for work and it was just a spur of the moment inspiration and a ridiculous amount of love for this little shit. It’s short, it’s a little cracky, but most importantly there’s love in it…
Genre: Fluff, Angst, Cheese (as @kpop-and-overwatch would say) and what most people would call a Friends to Lovers type thing.
Warnings: cuss words, suggestive humor and friendly mentions of a friendly joint shower. Some panic, lots of talk about aliens, they’re in outer space ok?
Summary: Hyunjin and y/n have been copilots forever, on a mission to examine the ice on one of Saturn’s moons they realize they want to be closer than they already are. Engineer Chan won’t let them live.
Y/n groaned as she threw her head piece off, putting the ship into autopilot before leaving her seat, her copilot silent next to her as he bit his lip. He didn’t mean to make her upset, it had been a tough week and all they had to do was make it to one of Saturn’s moons, examine the damn ice and make it back. It was their longest mission, they hoped to get through it successfully so they could be cleared for deep space travel together. Y/n and Hyunjin had been copilots for what felt like ages, at first they hated each other with a passion, then realizing they worked extremely well together. The academy jumped at the opportunity, two young kids with a connection that could only be rivaled by many many years of experience, y/n and Hyunjin had scratched nearly hundreds of missions off of their belt at this point.
“Can you come back?” Hyunjin groaned, taking his headset off and leaving his station before going to find y/n. She was probably curled up in her bed, eating a candy bar she rewarded herself with diligently whenever Hyunjin managed to piss her off. They slept in the same room, the lack of privacy nothing they weren’t used to, the engineer needed a lot more space plus he was weird and they’d rather not deal with him at night.
“She went to the airlock” their engineer, Chan, said, trying to fix the damage caused by the asteroid field they’d just gone through. To be fair though, it was either an asteroid field or a meteor bigger than their ship hurdling towards them. Y/n could sulk all she wanted and threaten to throw herself out of the airlock, but Hyunjin was a good pilot and knew what he was doing.
Hyunjin rolled his eyes when he found y/n with her face pressed to the window, standing behind her and shoving her against the door while she hissed at him like a grumpy cat, “get off!”
“Why are you so agitated? Be nice, shhh, tie your hair up you look crazy. Tell Hyunjin what’s wrong and be quick about it, I have to file a report in the captains log and my feelings will get the best of me unless you make me feel better” Hyunjin said, tickling her sides while y/n groaned and turned around. She swallowed hard, his face inches from hers as he gave her a lazy look. This always happened, one of them always got flustered when they were this close, acting like they didn’t share beds, save each other from unnatural disasters and shower together to save water.
All Chan wanted was to tell the captains that they’d be experiencing a zero gravity patch for a bit while he rebooted the system, but when he got to the airlock they were in a weird position so he just went back to his seat.
“Engineers log, this is CB97, it’s currently…2am on earth, pacific standard time? I think, I can’t read, anyways we hit an asteroid field and survived thanks to y/n, then the freaky little shits engaged in some mating ritual I am not familiar with. Kids are so weird honestly, I’m convinced they’re aliens because that’s the only explanation. Aliens exist right? Y/n tells me no, Hyunjin tells me yes, again I shouldn’t be listening to kids but they’re the captains here, they’ve seen it all. Anyways, I should probably go warn them that if they have sex I’ll turn the gravity off to spite them and-“
“Chris you know all of your videos are recorded and sent to the academy right?!” He heard Hyunjin yell, preparing for the worst, the worst being y/n putting him in a headlock. On camera.
“Okay I’m sorry! I’m sorry I’ll erase the tape, I’m an engineer I know how to do things alright?! Can you guys sit down, I’m turning the gravity off. If I find food on the ceiling again I’ll cry, there was cheese above my station and it melted on my head the last time…” Chan grumbled, rubbing his neck after y/n had let him be and went back to her seat. She began to check their course, turning to Hyunjin with wide eyes while he just smirked at her from beneath his lashes.
“Don’t give me that look. Your little ‘trip’ just took a whole week off of our expedition! We’ll be at Rhea by tomorrow. Hyunjin?” Y/n sighed, holding her hand out for her best friend to take.
Chan peeked at them from over his station, turning his camera back on as he brought his mic close to his face so he could whisper, “the captains have made up, obviously, they fight like cats and dogs and make up within minutes. I think they’re soulmates, either that or they were made in the same lab”
The first thing Hyunjin did when they got to Rhea was trip and fall on his face, cracking his helmet and having to go right back to the ship while a worried y/n almost had a heart attack.
“What if it was worse?! Why are you so clumsy?! Hyunjin please be more careful, what am I supposed to do without you? Come on!” Y/n cried, her hands shaking as she attempted to clean the blood off of Hyunjin’s lip as he twirled his necklace in his hands. Chan stopped by the airlock with a coffee, wondering if Hyunjin was supposed to be shirtless on a moon full of ice, and if y/n was supposed to be crying. Maybe this was their home world.
“I don’t want to know” he said under his breath, pulling his sweater closer to his body as he left them alone.
“Don’t say just a crack, don’t. I don’t want to lose you” y/n sighed, throwing the dirty gauze in a bag and into the hazardous waste bin as Hyunjin got up, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her against his chest.
“You’re not going to lose me. I’m here okay? I’m always going to be here, you won’t ever get rid of me. Let’s get these samples so we can go home, I miss sunshine, your smile isn’t cutting it” he said, kissing her cheek while y/n pushed him away, putting her helmet back on to hide the crimson of her cheeks.
“I hate you” y/n muttered, watching as Hyunjin put his suit back on and retrieved his back up helmet from its case.
Y/n and Hyunjin took their time setting up poles in the ice, a rope attached so they could balance on the way to the ice field. There the ice would be thickest, the cliffs steep and scary but that was where Chan said they’d be able to get the best samples. He was actually ridiculously smart even if he was weird, he was a child genius and graduated college at 12 with two majors in engineering. He’d never been out on the field until he met y/n and Hyunjin, they were only 16 and had been on 50 missions already. He’d found them weird and freaky from the minute they met, the both of them on some wavelength he couldn’t relate to, it was hard to understand them when they spoke to each other. Chan though he was a nerd until he heard them speak space, space was a different language than what he knew, he knew math and logic. They knew the stars and how it worked out there, which further proved his alien theory.
“Hyunjin so help me, if you go any closer to the cliff…I’ll shove you off myself” y/n growled, her voice loud and clear through Hyunjin’s earpiece as he hammered a sample collecter into the ice. Y/n was scanning the area, a small scanner Chan had made to make sure there was enough density, no one wanted to lose a pilot here.
“Don’t go over there” Hyunjin hissed, working on his third sample when he saw y/n wandering with the last of their rope attached to the back of her suit.
“Oh come on. Who else is going to do it? We’re the first people here, what if I find a Wampa?” Y/n teased, Hyunjin rolling his eyes at her Star Wars reference.
“Go to hell” Hyunjin laughed, his voice staticky as y/n trudged forward carefully. It was really cold, the wind had picked up since they got here and she wasn’t sure if that was a thing. No one had ever been here before so there was no way of being able to tell if these conditions were normal. There was only so much a probe could monitor, especially in storm like conditions. In the ice.
Hyunjin tried telling y/n not to go too far or else their comms would stop working, but in true fashion she ignored him and continued on her way. He kept an eye on the rope, making sure she didn’t run out and come back yelling that he was messing with her on purpose. He’d collected the last sample when he saw the rope tighten, the pole it was attached to wavered and Hyunjin narrowed his eyes. There was no give, like she was pulling against it, he got a bad feeling in his stomach and decided to check it out.
“Y/n can you not play around like this? You’re not the only one who gets worried you know? Where the hell are you?” He groaned, following the rope to the best of his abilities. The wind was blowing ice and sleet everywhere and he kept having to wipe the front of his helmet to see. He could hear static in his earpiece and stopped, Chan’s panicky voice echoing in his ear.
“Guys there’s going to be a massive storm soon. So if you wanna come back so we can leave that’d be great, I get cold really easily” Chan laughed, noticing y/n’s communication was down, “where’s your girlfriend? Tell her to turn her comm back on”
“Shit,” Hyunjin whispered, pulling on her rope and trying not to topple over as he rushed to the end of it. He could hear y/n’s voice slowly feed into his ear piece, he really wished she would stop screaming and say something but her crying sent his heart hammering in his chest. He got to the end of her rope, seeing y/n dangling off the edge of the cliff and one boot stuck in the ice on top, “y/n!”
“H-Hyunjin, please!” She gasped, shutting her eyes tightly while he tried his best to get her up without sending them both over. Y/n wouldn’t let him go, her arms wrapped around him as he sat her on the floor and attempted to get her foot out of the ice, “I was so scared, the ice broke and…I thought I was going to die. I didn’t even get to do anything!”
“You’re okay, keep a level head okay? We have to get back to the ship, can you walk?” Hyunjin asked, knocking his helmet against hers as y/n took deep breaths, nodding while he helped her up. He kept her far away from the edge as they walked back, picking up the samples and collecting all of their things before rushing back towards the ship.
“Was it supposed to happen that fast? Is it-“ Chan squinted when he saw Hyunjin nearly tackle y/n, his helmet discarded and his lips pressed against hers before they could even make it out of their gear. Y/n wrapped her arms around him, her hands tangling in Hyunjin’s jet black hair, “ok I’m leaving”
“Why did you do that?” Y/n asked, pulling Hyunjin closer as they leaned against the doorway. He sighed as he looked down at her, not really trying to hide his feelings anymore especially after his adrenaline spike.
“Because I love you and every moment I waste not telling you is life ticking by telling me to hurry because opportunities come and go” Hyunjin said quietly, kissing her again while y/n tried not to laugh.
“I spend all my time with you, when do you miss out on opportunities? When I go to the restroom? Nerd” y/n sighed, staring at her best friend and she held his face between his hands, “I love you, the universe is nothing without you”
“Agh you give me butterflies. Let’s get the hell out of here, I’m going to bed early tonight, let’s cuddle?” He asked excitedly, taking his suit off and dashing to the control room while y/n took her time.
“You act like we don’t cuddle every night. Can you leave the part about me almost falling off the cliff out of the log? And get us out of here Captain, it’s cold”
“Will do Captain,” Hyunjin said, smiling as he disappeared from sight. Y/n felt a dumb smile come over her face, taking her boots off when Hyunjin appeared in the doorway again, “I love you”
“I love you, now go!” Y/n laughed, chasing after him and jumping onto his back while Chan watched in horror from his seat.
“Engineers log, this is CB97, they seem to have taken this ritual to the next level. Captain y/n has smiled for the first time in 362 days and I don’t even spend that much time with her, I just know. Hyunjin also seems…strange. His cheeks are red, either they have aliens in them or they’re in love. I’ll lock my room doors tonight to m-“
