Breathe in. Breath out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in—
“Doyoung, can you shut up for five seconds!”
A heavy sigh escaped from Taeyong’s mouth. It was 12:21 am. There was nine minutes left until he got to talk to you and see your face for the first time in weeks.
No matter how much time had passed, butterflies always erupted in his stomach before talking to you and he always had to find various methods to calm down so he didn’t accidentally throw up and miss your call.
His roommates, Jaehyun and Doyoung, knew this was a special time for him. Always leaving to their rooms or sometimes the apartment altogether and not interrupting him for the next few hours.
Jaehyun knew what long distance relationships were like and sympathized with Taeyong despite his being brief. He never felt the same excruciating pain that came with missing you, but he had an idea which was more than Doyoung.
Doyoung slapped Jaehyun who whined and rubbed the back of his head. It wasn’t his fault the elder couldn’t stop talking without acting like he was going to die. “I’m trying to distract Taeyong like a good friend.”
Jaehyun rolled his eyes, “If you distract him too much he’ll miss (Y/N)’s call and we’ll have to deal with a sulky Hyung for the next week.”
Doyoung opened his mouth to rebuttal, but his brain couldn’t find the right words. He hadn’t thought about that because honestly there was no way Taeyong would miss (Y/N)’s call. He even thought that his talking would make him answer the call faster if anything.
Jaehyun raised and eyebrow and smirked. Doyoung always bragged about how smart he was so it was certain taste of victory that Jaehyun never felt often that he would sure hang onto for as long as possible.
An obnoxious ringing sounded throughout the apartment. Taeyong scrambled off the couch and ran to his room, almost slipping from the zero fraction his socks gave him on the hardwood floor. His two roommates snickered. It happened every time, but it didn’t make it any less funny.
Taeyong quickly answered the call, jumping on his bed and taking one last deep breath.
When you’re face appeared on the screen, the biggest smile formed on his face. He would never get tired of seeing your beauty.
“Taeyong-ie, I miss you.” Taeyong smiled wider if that were possible. He loved it when you raised your voice just a little to sound cuter.
Taeyong could never think straight when he was around you; too mesmerized by the way your eyes lit up when you talked about your day. He always forgot about what he wanted to tell you and you had to help him out by asking various questions. You didn’t mind, however, it was one of the many things you loved about him.
You loved watching the quick flash of annoyance and love that crossed his face whenever he talked about Doyoung and Jaehyun. You loved how his eyes shone when he talked about his rapping.
You tended to accidentally zone out while admiring his face, his facial expressions were always too cute to ignore, and had to sheepishly ask him to repeat himself. But he never got mad. Taeyong could never get mad at you.
Instead, he found it adorable and chuckled as he repeated the story once more, this time checking every so often to make sure you were paying attention.
As the night progressed, however, you noticed something different about Taeyong. You knew he always had butterflies whenever the two of you talked, him having mentioned it several times, but tonight you could see the extra anxiety radiating off of him through the computer screen.
You tried to ask him if everything was alright, but he waived it off with the excuse of him and his two roommates being in the middle of a prank war and he didn’t want anything to happen while he was talking to you. It was an obvious lie, but you didn’t push him.
You didn’t want to be the type to push their partner to do something they didn’t want to. You knew Taeyong well enough, also. If it was of concern, he would tell you when the time was right.
Taeyong couldn’t stop the jitters that ran through his body.
The last skype call he had with you, he had to do everything to hold back on spoiling his surprise. Every time he opened his mouth, he had to choose his words oh so carefully so he didn’t let anything slip; not even the smallest hint could be revealed.
It had been too long since you last saw each other in person. He knew you would have a few days off this week and his boss was kind of enough to grant him a mini vacation since he never seemed to take time off.
He knew you loved surprises and despite the alarm ringing in the back of his head that warned him this was a bad idea, he walked through the airport looking for his gate so he could see your smile in person.
Your anniversary was in a month. Doyoung told him this was stupid and to wait until then, but Taeyong couldn’t wait. Besides, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if he showed up then. It had to be unexpected like surprises should be.
His leg bounced up and down and he chewed on the inside of his mouth. Sometimes Taeyong wondered if he should invest in a medicine for his nerves, but the thought was always pushed aside. It’ll be okay once he sees you. He knows it.
As he looked out the window of the airplane and watched the endless of array of clouds, a strange sense of calmness filled his body. For the first time in weeks, he could think clearly.
He didn’t have a bunch of ‘what if’ questions floating around in his head and alarms going off telling him to turn back. It was nice, Taeyong had to admit. He could think about you without the anxiety.
He thought about the future. The future he wanted to have with you. You once mentioned wanting three kids; at least one boy and one girl. He could see you two with a house with a big backyard and build a swing out back, or a tree house might be better suited.
Taeyong thought if maybe on this trip, it’d be too soon to mention the topic of marriage. But two days later, he realized it wasn’t.
feedback is always welcome !
