“Hi Julie! Congratulations on 5.5k! It's completely deserved <3 For the requests (if you're still taking them), could I ask for some fluffy yoosung headcanons that take place after his route? Yoosung growing and having a partner for the first time? Thank you <;333” by @brighteststar707

Genre: fluff, slight mentions of hurt, comfort
A/N: This starts right after his route ends.
Even though he’d insisted that he was fine and that you shouldn’t worry about his eye, you couldn’t help yourself, just like the rest of the RFA. Jumin wasn't kidding when he told Jaehee to contact the hospital as Yoosung's injury required attention - and the other members also agreed that it might have been too soon for Yoosung to be at an event like their party in the condition he was in.
One of the things that attracted Yoosung the most about you was your caring and supportive personality, so he wasn't surprised at all when you offered to take him to the hospital to check if he was indeed alright. Seven also promptly suggested that he go along, as he was feeling guilty about what had happened.
He would have preferred the others to have taken his word that he was fine, yet Yoosung agreed to go with you. After the events of the last few days, almost losing you and not even being able to go see if you were okay, he would take any opportunity to be with the one he'd been yearning for.
You might have gotten to know each other well on the messenger, but both of you were still eager to learn even more - especially now that you weren't pre-dating anymore. Yoosung could very well spend hours talking about the things he liked, but he was way more delighted to hear you talk about your own hobbies and experiences.
Yoosung was touch-starved when it came to you. He always made sure to be touching you in some way when you were together, whether it was “accidentally” brushing his arm against yours, holding your hands or straight up holding you. It was like an assurance that you were there, right next to him, safe.
You were the one to bring up the “therapy” subject. So much had happened in the short time you had known each other and you felt that Yoosung's mental health should be a priority.
Of course that he knew that things had been hard for him, but he still was a bit hesitant. He had no problem opening up to you or a close friend, but doing it so to a total stranger was different. However, remembering the conversation he had with V about Rika's issues and how she had refused treatment, he decided to give it a try.
He finally started acknowledging his own issues and working on them. Before, Yoosung wasn’t completely aware that he used LOLOL to cope with everything that happened. He knew, to a certain level, that he used the game to distract himself, but he could not see that his addiction was due to a coping mechanism.
Even though it's hurtful, he began exploring his feelings towards Rika's death. Recognizing the great impact his cousin had on him and that he didn't need to forget or walk away from it, but that there were healthier ways to move on with his life even if grief was still present.
Being the open partner he was, Yoosung looked for your support and comfort outside of therapy as he was working through these things. Healing is a hard and long path, so he was grateful that he had someone by his side that was patient enough to listen to him.
He meant what he said at the party, that he wanted to become a better person for you. With therapy, he also started working on the mindset of becoming better for himself as well.
Getting more and more of his motivation back and with the support of you and his friends, Yoosung's attention on his studies increased. That meant he had to learn to balance the time he spent with you with the time he focused on college. The life of a student is not easy.
That in no way meant that he neglected you. Even if he was studying for a big exam that was coming up, he still found time to text and call to make sure you were okay and eating properly.
There was this one time that Yoosung had invited you to his apartment so you could spend some time together and relax after he finished reviewing a few things for his finals. It was supposed to be just a few things, so you'd arrived while he was still studying and tried to keep yourself busy until he was done. Unfortunately, the study took more time than he’d expected and, when he realized, there wasn’t that much time left for you to hang out. Trying to cheer him up, as the man was repeatedly apologizing for making you wait, you suggested that maybe you could stay the night.
And you would like to spend time with him...
Yoosung felt his face burning as he pulled the blanket over both of you. He was relieved that the light was already off so you couldn't see how red his cheeks were. He might have grown to be more confident in himself overall, but nothing could have prepared him for that.
Due to the size of his bed, you were lying very close to each other. Yoosung could feel your warmth from where he was, feel your breath lightly against his face. His eye was still adjusting to the dark, but he could already make out the outline of your head leaning against his pillow. He wondered if you were also looking at him.
Yoosung felt his heart skip a beat as one of your hands found its way to his belly, quickly guiding itself to wrap your arm around his waist. As if it were a second nature to him, the man moved his own arms around your body, pulling you closer.
Your sigh of contentment as you buried your face in his neck didn't go unnoticed by Yoosung, bringing a soft smile to his face. "Good night, (Y/N)." he placed a kiss on the top of your head. "Thank you for staying."
Yoosung found he slept much better with you around. Even though he had spent most of the previous day studying, he’d woken up feeling refreshed in the morning.
He went on to invite you to his apartment more often in hopes that maybe you'd want to spend the night there again.
Another time you were there, Yoosung discovered how good it was to study while you snuggled him. The first few times that happened, he found it kind of hard to focus on his books with you so close, but he learned to make it work - mostly because he knew you'd stop doing it if you knew it was distracting him.
All in all, he was still going through a learning process, both about relationships and himself.

Their S/O leaves on a one year trip
“Konnichiwa! Its my first time requesting something, so I hope this request won’t sound weird. Can I have a headcanon of saeyoung and yoosung when their s/o leave on a one year trip then comes back? Thank you!!” by anon
Featuring: Choi Saeyoung, Kim Yoosung
Saeyoung had already mastered the skill of hiding his true feelings from people, so he didn’t let it show how heartbroken he was. He might be used to being alone, but it didn’t mean he liked the feeling of being lonely.
He acted like the most supportive boyfriend. You were already pretty hyped about the whole situation, but Saeyoung doubled your expectations. A few days after you told him what your plans were and the places you wanted to go, he came to you with a list of wonderful and lesser-known attractions that you just couldn't miss while you were there - and he himself seemed very excited about it all as he rambled about each location.
On the day of your departure, he managed to get every RFA member to see you off with him. Even though he’d tried to convince himself that he was only doing this because he knew you would love to see everyone before you left, he knew deep down that he was also doing it for himself. Saeyoung did know he was going to miss you terribly, and thought that having the others around him would be somewhat comforting in the moment.
Of course you kept in touch with him every day. Saeyoung would log into the messenger every few hours to see if you were online. Whenever you were, he’d want to know if you were safe and having a good time, because honestly that's what really mattered to him.
Over the course of that one year, the RFA chatroom was filled with photos of you and the beautiful sightings you'd seen, as you wanted to share this experience with your friends. Saeyoung obviously swooned every time he saw your face in any of the files you sent.
You noticed the “707 has entered the chatroom” notification popping up in the chatroom as soon as you finished uploading your new photo. Even though you were previously talking to Jaehee about the new place you were visiting, Saeyoung managed to be quicker than everyone else with his reactions.
“Woa-!” he exclaimed, sending you his heart eyes emoji. “If you were a fruit,”
Jaehee's message popped up right after. "Please, don't."
"You'd be a fine-apple."
You snorted, not being able to hide the smile growing on your lips. The other RFA members, however, didn't seem to appreciate the cheesy words as much as you did.
“(Y/N), when do you get back? Seven has been insufferable since you went away.” Zen complained.
“Can’t a guy compliment his honeybunch sugarplum anymore??” Saeyoung wrote dramatically. “Can’t a guy show his love and appreciation for the one who makes his heart thump thump in his chest????”
“Not in the chatroom!” Zen retorted. “Yoosung’s eyes are too innocent for your messages.”
It didn't take more than five seconds for Yoosung to send his own angry emoji. “Hey! They are not! But ya, go text them in private or something.”
Even when you sent him a photo in private, he made a point of commenting in the RFA chatroom that “his beloved blessed him with a picture, but that he could not share much information about it”. Zen thought that was actually worse as there were so many possibilities of what that could mean.
There was nothing particularly risqué or inappropriate about the photos you sent him in private; you were doing it mainly because the others were complaining about Seven. However, both of you really enjoyed to tease Zen with the idea that something might be going on.
Even though you were miles and miles away from each other, you still tried to do a few things together over the phone - that included your monthly horror movie night. Of course, watching a movie with Saeyoung on a video call wasn't the same. You'd deny it if anyone asked, but you kind of missed the way he'd try to scare you when you were together. Still, it was comforting to do these little activities with him, as it also served as a reminder of what would be waiting for you at home.
He was the one to pick you up at the airport when you got back. From the moment you let yourself be wrapped in a hug, you knew that he wouldn’t leave your side for the next couple of days. And, honestly, you didn’t mind it at all. You did have a lot to catch up on.
It hadn't been long since you'd arrived at your house. You and Saeyoung were sitting on the floor of your bedroom next to each other, suitcases scattered around the place. As you looked around the room you hadn't seen in a year, a thought popped into your head.
“Oh! Now that we’re here, I can finally say it.” Saeyoung raised an eyebrow at your words. You reached for one of your suitcases, looking for something inside its contents. “I came bearing gifts!”
“Wha-” when he saw you take a box in your hands, the man's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly narrowed them in mock accusation. “Why didn't you tell me this sooner?”
"Because I knew that if I'd told you on the airport, you wouldn't have been able to wait until we got here."
He let out an exaggerated sigh as he shook his head. “Unfortunately, you know me too well.” you nudged the box towards him, encouraging him to take it from you. A teasing grin crossed his face. "You shouldn't have."
Those might have been the words that came out of his mouth, but his excitement at receiving that surprise gift was noticeable in his posture.
“I know it isn’t much.” a half truth; although there were a lot of things, they were just small keychains, pendants and stickers. “You were always on my mind and I guess I wanted to bring you something from each place I went to so you could feel like you were there with me.”
You watched as he took a few souvenirs in his hands for a better look. You beamed at him when one particular keychain caught his eyes – you’d been waiting for him to notice it. You almost couldn't believe it yourself when you came across from it at this one store that sold some unusual items. There you’d found it, a Longcat keychain.
“This one is my favorite.” you chuckled, seeing him carefully analyzing it. “I thought of you as soon as I saw it.”
Saeyoung's gaze softened at your words, thankfulness clear in his eyes when he turned to you once again. It meant a lot to him, you knew it did. The corner of his mouth turned up in a small smile; oh, it had been one long year.
One of his hands went to the back of your neck, pulling your face closer as he leaned toward you. You whined at the feeling of his lips engulfing yours in a passionate kiss, your arms reaching blindly for his waist. There were so many feelings evident in Saeyoung's movements - so much yearning, neediness, gratitude and love. You had almost forgotten how he had the ability to take your breath away. You could feel the cold keychain grazing your cheek as he moved his other hand to your face.
“I missed you.” he murmured tenderly against your lips.
You tightened your grip around him. “I missed you too.”
He cherished your gifts more than you knew. A few weeks later, you found the Longcat keychain in his jacket pocket. Saeyoung had left it there so he could have it with him at all times - it was particularly useful whenever he felt overwhelmed, for it was a reminder that you were in his life and would be there for him. It had easily become one of his greatest prized possessions.
Yoosung was not so good at hiding his feelings, so you knew that he was taken aback by the news. Those watering eyes couldn’t lie. Ever since you started dating, there wasn’t a week that went by that you hadn’t seen each other. He was just so used to having you around and a year was a long time to be apart from you.
It was bittersweet for him really.
He tried to suck it up as soon as his feelings allowed him. Yoosung knew that this was something you’d wanted for a while and watching you finally making this dream of yours come true made him happy. He made sure to let you know how excited he was, asking you about all of your plans and things you were looking forward to.
You still talked to each other every day after your departure.
And every single day he texted you to make sure that you were eating well. That didn’t surprise you at all, for Yoosung already had a habit of asking you the same thing three times a day even when you were together.
“Good morning, cutie pie! Did you have breakfast?”
A smile quickly spread on your lips as you saw the message pop up on your phone. You’d been waiting for it. Yoosung’s messages were like clockwork. This time, you’d even taken a picture of your food before eating so you could send it to him.
“I did, Yoosungie. It was delicious, but nothing could be as good as your omelette.”
If there was something you missed about home other than your friends and boyfriend, it was definitely the latter’s cooking. He claimed that he was still learning, but it was better than anything you could ever make.
Your smile only widened when you saw his reply popping up in the chat.
“I promise I will make you one when you get back, don’t worry!”
Sometimes, when neither of you had a busy tiring day, you’d stay on the phone for hours. He’d tell you everything about his day - going from how he was trying to get better grades at college to this really unfair match he lost on LOLOL. Then, he’d eagerly ask you about yours, paying attention to every word coming out of your mouth.
It happened more than once that both of you fell asleep while still on call. Yoosung personally loved whenever this happened, because he’d get to wake up to your voice calling him.
He might have said once or twice that he didn’t like taking selfies that much, but by the end of the trip, you had a whole album just for pictures of him. He’d always send them with the excuse that he didn’t want you to “miss him too much or forget what he looks like”. The truth was that he was just sending them in hopes that he’d get a selfie of you back, because he missed you.
Yoosung was waiting for you at the airport the day you finally got back. He couldn’t help but cry when he saw you again. Happy tears, obviously - he was just so happy that you were back, safe and sound.
He was trying to stay strong, but it was so hard when so many feelings were going through him. The second his eyes locked with yours was his breaking point. His shaking hands gripped the flowers he’d bought for you tightly as the tears finally freed themselves and ran down his face.
You knew that you didn’t look much better, tripping over your own feet until you reached him. As soon as you threw your arms around his neck, Yoosung wrapped his around your waist, pulling you as close to him as possible. You could feel your shoulder getting wet from his tears, but couldn’t bring yourself to care.
“I love you.”
These were the first words he managed to say.
You pulled away slightly just so that you could see him properly. His cheeks were red, wet from his silent crying; however, he had a bright smile adorning his face. His eyes were examining your face, as if he was trying to memorize exactly how you looked like at that moment.
“I love you.” he said it softly, leaning his forehead on yours. “I love you so much.”
You nodded your head, sighing in contentment as you closed your eyes. “I love you too.”

The Night Before | Kim Yoosung
Yoosung wakes up the morning after his first time with his significant other.
Pairing(s): Kim Yoosung/gn!reader
Word Count: 0.4k
Genre: fluff
Warnings: There are mentions of sexual activity, but nothing too explicit. Also, haven’t written anything in a year, so beware.
Yoosung’s eyes hurt. That was the first thing he felt waking up that morning. It took him a few seconds to figure out what was causing his discomfort as he slowly forced his eyes open. The blinds above his head were almost fully close, but there was still a small gap through which the sun was shining directly into his eyes.
The boy grunted. He must not have closed them thoroughly the night before. No one could blame him, though. It wasn’t like he’d cared too much about it when he got to his room with (Y/N).
He wasn’t thinking about the blinds when they sat on his bed, lips moving against each other’s, his shaking hands eager to explore their body. And (Y/N) surely didn’t seem to mind it either as their lips left marks on his neck, their equally shaking hands making sure to make a mess of Yoosung’s hair.
Both nervous for sure, but ready.
Ready to give themselves to each other.
Utterly and completely, body and soul.
A breath on his neck brought him back to the moment. A smile spread across his face, his gaze moving to the body next to his. It was impossible to ignore the way they’d fallen asleep - both turned to each other, (Y/N)’s arms wrapped around his waist, their face hiding on his neck.
Yoosung’s face heat up at the feeling of their entire body pressed against him. Just a reminder that they were together the night before. He hadn’t shied away from their touches then and he surely wasn’t going to do that now. He tightened his grip on their back, bringing them even closer to him.
The words (Y/N) had muttered to him before they fell asleep on his arms rang on his mind.
Oh, he did too, and he was happy they felt that way.
After everything that had happened in his life, he yearned to have someone he could trust, someone that would care for him. He wanted someone that would find that in him too, a safe place. Lying in his bed in the early morning, after the events of the night before, he was sure that he’d found his person.
Yoosung closed his eyes again, not wanting this moment to end. Even though the sun was still shining into the room and onto his face, he allowed himself to relax. His heart warmed at the realization.
Utterly and completely, body and soul.

The World Around Us Disappears | Jake
Jake had thought about how their first meeting would go before, but nothing sounded as sweet as the scenario MC once shared with him.
Pairing(s): Jake/fem!reader
Word Count: 0.5k
Genre: fluff with a tiny bit of angst
A/N: Heavily based on this post right here.
He wasn't sure where they were.
Was it Duskwood? The Chinese restaurant? Or maybe the motel across the street from it? Well, it didn't really matter to him. The only thing Jake knew was that they were there, close to each other.
He’d thought about this moment before, how it would be when they were together at last. It was everything he had imagined, but at the same time nothing like it. Jake could feel his heart beating out of rhythm in his chest. He’d never been this careless, this reckless, to bring someone into his life – but there he was, taking (Y/N) into his arms.
And it was such a relief to feel her skin against his, a gentle reminder that she was real. He knew it was dangerous to be around him, but he wanted to believe that he’d be capable of protecting her if it came to it.
Protecting her from his pursuers, from the Man Without a Face, from anything that could do her harm.
Her hands were firm on his shoulders, as if they were the only thing keeping her steady. She was right, no words were needed. Jake could see the mix of emotions going through her eyes, even though he couldn't name them all. What he knew was that they were pretty similar to what he was feeling.
These were the ones he could tell that were there.
But there was something else.
Something stronger, more intense; but that at the same time brought softness to their eyes.
Only four letters to describe such a confusing and unmeasurable feeling, but it felt so right. Was it possible to come to a conclusion like that without saying a word? It seemed like it was, at least for them. No words, their eyes speaking plenty already.
And then, as a one last action to confirm what they already knew, Jake leaned in. Slowly, giving her time to move away if that was what she wished to do. He was content to see that she didn't and, quite the opposite of that, moved her hands to his face in an attempt to bring him closer.
The feeling of her lips colliding against his was the only thing that grounded him in that moment. As her hands started stroking his cheeks softly, Jake couldn't even make sense of his thoughts anymore. It absolutely terrified him as it wasn't something he was used to.
Only one word kept repeating on his mind.
Finally, finally, finally.
They were finally together and it was like the whole world disappeared around them.
When Jake opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment as he found himself back at the motel, in front of his computer, alone. He damned himself for allowing his thoughts to get so far away. (Y/N) and her friends were still in danger and Hannah was missing. He couldn't afford getting distracted right now.
Jake ran his hand over his face, trying to regain his focus. Admittedly, that had become his favorite scenario since (Y/N) brought it up to him, and sometimes, when exhaustion took over, he'd find himself getting lost in it.
It was just that it was really a very nice thought.
And he wanted nothing more than to make it a reality.
