Atonement
SEO MOON-JO X READER
When the world falls apart, you have him by your side, loving and caring for you every step of the way. Accidentally stumbling upon his most sinful line of work, you wonder how much you really know about the dentist you fell in love with.
The cold and dreary night sky looked overhead and the moon cast a shimmery glow onto the pavement in front of Eden Residence. The flowerbeds that seemed to be teeming with life at one point in time were now filled with weeds and miscellaneous cans and bottles. The sidewalk was perfect on the way up to the residence, however as soon as you stepped foot in the vicinity of your new boyfriend's place, you noticed how broken and jagged the cement was. Overall, you had expected a bit more from the dentist, but you weren't going to be the one to judge. Moon-jo wasn't close to anyone really, so when he'd offered to take you on a date the first couple of times, you were excited and surprised to say the least. You knew he had secrets (everyone does), but little did you know the secret he kept from the world.
Smiling, you see the familiar figure standing outside the entryway, smoking a cigarette. Moon-jo was wearing a black turtleneck and grey dress pants with a black leather jacket on top. His hair had been gelled down previously to his arrival but was now strewn about his face and ears; it was disheveled in the "I may have just got out of bed but I'm still sexy" type look. He had a piercing in one ear that was just barely visible from his curly black locks of hair and upon seeing your face, his expression changed from daunting to pleasant. Even his demeanor changed as he stood up just a bit straighter and positioned his hands behind his back, a stance that you were familiar with when he welcomed you to the clinic.
"Why hello there." You said with a knowing glance, making it obvious that you were checking him out. He didn't seem to mind though, in fact, he looked expectant of it. His eyes shifted downwards from yours to your lips and then to your outfit, never staying in one place for too long. How he was so good at undressing you with his eyes, you didn't know. All you knew was that you wanted him to do it again and again.
"Hello." He said in his soft deep voice. He smelled of Dolce and Gabbana or something similar in exquisiteness, with a faint familiar touch of... bleach?
"You look sexy as hell." You said, just itching to voice what was on your mind. It wasn't fair for him to be so taunting with his angled features and impeccable style.
"Wow. I thought I would've had to put in a bit more effort before you offered to sleep with me." He laughed and snaked an arm around your waist, leading you up the stairs. You smiled up at him and wondered how you found such a godlike person. From the way he walked to the way he acted, everything seemed so meticulous and beautiful, almost as if he was never truly from this realm. You were in awe of Moon-jo in every way, and you scared yourself with the thoughts of what you would let him do to you...
Up at the landing, he removed his arm from your body and pushed open the door to reveal the apartments on the floor which he resided. It was dark and dreary and had the faintest smell of mold and cleaning chemicals; you wondered if that's where you picked up the bleach smell from. The walls were a dark green which made it even darker and the walls were so close together that it felt suffocating trying to navigate your way around the building. There was not a decoration in sight, not a plant, not any of the other tenets. The silence was so deafening that your ears started to ring.
Opening up the door to his room, Moon-jo looked on the shelf above him for the car keys he needed to take the two of you on a proper date. He had offered to give you a ride to the new restaurant that had just opened, and you agreed even when he said you two would need to stop at his place for the keys.
"Where are they.....?" He asked himself as he shuffled about the shelves, looking for the familiar shape of the keys. You started to feel somewhat sick the longer you stayed in the building, the walls and the lighting started to take a toll on you. It was disorienting and uncomfortable and for a moment you thought back to the possibility of parallel universe liminal spaces, since the place reminded you of it so much. Clutching your purse closer to your body, you hold the cool chain around your neck to get some feeling back into your nerves.
"Hey, baby are you okay?" You hear him ask on the opposite end of the room.
"Yeah, yeah. I just need some air." You lied, trying to look at the floor to appease your stomach. Your shoes even felt tight.
"You can go wait for me in the kitchen, if you'd like. It's a bit more open in there. Down the hall to the left." He said, shrugging his shoulders and continuing to look through the cabinets. How he lost something in such a small place, you had no idea. But, you took him up on the offer of leaving the room and you made your way to the brightest but dreariest kitchen you've ever seen in your life. The wallpaper was ripping off the walls and dishes were piled into the sink as if their intended use were to sit and collect dust. Sitting down on one of the dining chairs, you place your head in your hands and take deep breaths as you try to steady yourself. What was wrong with you? Why did you feel so sick all of a sudden?
"I think I might've left them on the fourth floor." You heard the familiar voice resounding from behind you. Moon-jo knelt down beside you, placing his hands onto yours and removing them from your face. His expression was one of genuine worry and you felt bad for him for having to deal with you when you were like this. He offered you a slight smile as he tried to read your expression; his fingers brushing away at the hair that had fallen into your face. "Are you alright?"
"I guess I'm just claustrophobic or something. I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this it's just that this place-"
"-Feels like a cage." He said, completing your sentence. His gaze turned into a dark one but you had no idea why he was so bothered by the thought. It was reassuring to hear that he felt the same way about Eden Residence that you did.
"Yeah," you said, "something like that."
...
Walking up towards the fourth floor, you were relieved to catch your breath and to breathe in the night sky. The ascent to the floor above meant climbing one flight of stairs and trying not to step on any broken glass. This place that Moon-jo lived in made you nervous for him as it didn't seem all that safe. You wondered if the rest of the tenets were a bit strange.
The big heavy door to the women's area of the building looked even older than everything else. There were charred marks on the door (you didn't know what from) and the way it was tucked neatly into the corner all by itself shrouded it in an eerie darkness. The sign was chipping away and soon enough any evidence of there ever being any humanity living behind the door would be gone forever, like dust in the wind.
"Why were you on the women's floor?" You asked, slightly accusatory. You and Moon-jo had only been together for two weeks, but you still felt hurt to know that he could be around other people that sparked his interest.
"I was working." He said, revealing a hallway even darker than the one from downstairs. "I have a side hustle of..... sorts."
Walking into the room, the sensation of being trapped filled your senses once again. The walls had the same charred marks as the doorway and the floor was scuffed and dirty. "What happened in here?" You asked, noticing how it looked as though someone had set the place aflame.
"It burned down shortly after Eden Residence was built," Moon-jo held your hand, walking towards the end of the hallway slowly, "Everyone died except for the old lady's cat. Sometimes you can still hear it up here, moving about and scratching the walls."
The hallway ended and the two of you were in a room so isolated from the rest of the building that you felt a knot in your stomach. This was the type of nerve-wracking that people on Criminal Minds talk about before they're brutally murdered, and you finally understood now why Moon-jo had insisted that you stop at the Residence to grab his car keys. He was trying to get you alone and vulnerable and you didn't think it was for sexual related reasons.
You slowly stepped back from the middle of the room as Moon-jo grabbed something off one of the wooden planks on the floor. "Here they are. Would you look at that?" He said, turning to you with a wicked malicious grin. In his hands were the keys, pristine and clean as he liked the rest of his belongings. That's what drew him into you, the fact that you seemed so pure and innocent. Something he could make an absolute mess of. Dirty hands on a white towel. Satan holding a sacred dove. You were his most precious belonging.
"Moon-jo? I think I'm going to call it a night. I'm still not feeling all that well." You let out a slight whimper, trying to feel around for the door you just came through. Instead, your back hit the wall and you were met with Moon-jo's face just inches from your own. He wrapped his arms around you and forced you into his embrace, not caring whether or not you wanted to be touched at the moment. The truth was going to come out tonight and he knew you would take it well. You would have to take it well. And if you didn't, he would make sure you felt too threatened to leave him either way.
"You're not going anywhere, love." He pushed his nose into the crook of your neck and allowed for his face to rest there, listening to the rapid pace of your heartbeat and taking in the scent of your perfume. It was intoxicating to him knowing that your life belonged to him and he could end it at any moment. He could, but he wouldn't. He wouldn't ever lay a finger on you in the way he killed so many others. You were different. You spoke to his soul and made him feel something after years of searching for something to fill the empty space within his chest.
Your entire body froze as Moon-jo held you there, calmly breathing into your skin. You wanted to run away but you had no idea how you would be able to leave without him following you. He knew where you lived and you worked within the same office. Rejecting Moon-jo would be impossible.
Finally, he turned to look at you as he continued to hold you close to his chest. "I'm a killer, (Y/N). You were going to be my next target but I think I accidentally fell in love with you."
Your heart plummeted to your stomach. There's no way he was telling you the truth. This had to have been a lie, the antisocial doctor whom you had gotten to know was quiet and poised. A killer wasn't even an option in your mind as to what he could've occupied himself with outside of his work. And that's when it hit you: the dead bodies that had been found all over Gyeonggi-do with missing teeth.
To confirm your suspicion, you noticed a dentist's chair in the corner of the room, the white upholstery now stained with colors you did not want to familiarize yourself with. Next to it laid a table with various tools, all clean and polished.
"I kill them. And then I eat them after I take their teeth."
That's when you fainted.
...
Waking up in Moon-jo's room, you look up at the ceiling overhead. It was cracked and crumbling and visibly painted over layers and layers of ruin. The window closest to the top of the room let in just enough light that you were able to barely make out your surroundings...and the person who shared the bed with you.
Moon-jo looked so innocent while he slept. His head was resting on the bed (he had given you his pillow) and his hair was a mess as he nuzzled deeper into the sheets. His arms were around you still and you noticed how hard it was for you to move in his intense grasp. His face was completely calm and his skin glowed in the soft light above. You didn't know when you had passed out or how you had gotten into his bed, but you assumed he had taken you here after your vision went blurry. In other circumstances, you would have found him to be cute in the position he was in, but instead your stomach was filled with worry. What did he mean by killing? Why was he sparing you? What did he mean by loving you?
Even with the nervousness bubbling up inside of you, you still found yourself glued to your spot, not even because Moon-jo was holding onto you so tightly. You knew that you wouldn't have left even if he allowed it, so instead you nuzzled up closer to his chest which awoke him softly.
"You're awake?" He asked in a deep soft voice, holding you even tighter in case you decided to make a run for it. He seemed confused as to why you were still okay with being near him and why you hadn't tried to escape while he was vulnerable.
"Yeah." You said after a moment of silence.
Moon-jo noticed your slight distress and watched you conflict in your head the possibilities of loving him and leaving him. He watched your eyes and saw behind them that you were trying to keep your morals, noticing it became harder and harder as you leaned into his touch, giving into him completely.
"(Y/N), because I love you, I'm letting you leave if you decide not to be here anymore." He felt his chest tighten as the words left his mouth, knowing that he was being entirely honest with you and dishonest with himself. He didn't want you to leave his arms.
"Moon-jo, I'm not going to leave you." You said, looking up at him from the pillow. He looked beautiful in the soft light.
"Why not?" He asked, certain that you were going to make a run for it.
"Because I think I love you too much to do that."

β οΈ Warnings: slight language, talk of blood β οΈ
In which you find out you're having romantic relations with the undead.....
It's almost Halloween!!!!! π
Yeonjun
Takes full advantage of the fact that he's a vampire and he dresses gothic
Black leather jackets, boots with buckles, flowy ruffled shirts
He's been around for a looooooong time
2,574 years to be exact
But not one of those years did he ever feel complete
Until he met you
He had seen you walking from a cafΓ© and thought you were the prettiest human he had ever seen
Which is saying a lot because he's seen a ton of people over the years
And he'd asked you out on a date
You said yes because you kinda had a thing for goth boys and for Christ's sake he was standing outside on a sunny day with an umbrella
When you found out he was a vampire you weren't surprised to say the least
I mean, he talks in old tongues occasionally and he dresses the way he does
So one day you said "hey wouldn't it be stupidly cool if you happened to be a vampire?"
Over a couple Twilight movies and a box of chocolates, you found out that you were, in fact, dating a vampire
So naturally your first question was "Do you sparkle when your skin hits the sun?"
He rolled his eyes
"maybe"
Soobin
Soobin had always been lonesome
He felt as though he had to exile himself from society because of what he truly was
So most of his days were spent reading indoors and trying to suppress his underlying thirst for blood π¦
His bedroom window has a perfect view of the alley below, so when you were in trouble with a couple of guys that had started to surround you, he was already on his way down to help.
These guys were surrounding you left and right saying things like "you're so pretty" or "wait till I have my way with you."
Soobin got SO FUCKIJG MAD
So he goes on a rampage and kills every last one
Until he realizes- you're still there
That's what stops him from his fury and his attention goes back to you; ready for your horrified reaction
But you seemed fine
Enthused, actually
"Holy shit, that was so cool, thanks!"
He couldn't believe his ears; did you just thank him for eating random people?
"Wanna go out for dinner sometime?'
"Sure, as long as I'm not on the menu!"
Beomgyu
He's been a vampire for what feels like 4 ever π
But his luxurious hair keeps him company and his weird obsession with cheese platters
But anyways, he's always dressed to impress and keeps up to date with all the latest fashion trends
He misses the 1920's
He most definitely was a flapper
So on one day where the sun wasn't particularly too harsh, he left his dreary house in a black T-shirt and jeans
He went to go see that horror movie people were talking about
Like he'd get scared, he's seen worse over the years, right?
Wrong.
He's such a baby when it comes to that stuff, and he clung onto the nearest person who could find, as he closed his eyes and tried not to get more scared than he already was.
And that person happened to be you
"Uh hello?" You asked
And when he looked up it's like all the scary went away as he saw the most beautiful person he'd encountered
"Hey" he said, and he leaned up against the seat trying to look cool despite the popcorn in his hair and the butter slowly running down his face
"So uh are you scared of this stuff?"
"Absolutely not, I'll have you know I was in WWI"
"You look like you're twenty"
"I am"
You rubbed the butter off his face that was starting to drip into his eyes with the back of your sleeve.
"Well Mr. War veteran, wanna leave this place and get something to eat?" You offered
Gyu shot up after you
You look like a good snack
Taehyun
Tae is a new vampire, or a fledgeling as they call it
He hasn't really had his first ounce of blood yet, despite being turned last week
He knew he shouldn't have gone out with that bartender :(
But, luckily he survived
Except now he can't go into the sun
He'll burn
Which isn't the worst thing in the world, because in his eyes it's the fact that he can't TAKE CARE OF HIS OUTSIDE PLANTS
HE WAS SO EXCITED FOR HIS BALCONY TOMATOES
Even though he doesn't trust other people around his stuff, he reluctantly found someone with basic gardening skills
He just didn't expect them to be so HOT
You walked into his apartment and noticed all the windows were covered with long heavy drapes
You didn't judge though, you had posters of Harry Styles all around your room
"So where are the plants?"
"The b-balcony"
You weren't gonna lie, this kid was cute
Maybe even cuter than Harry
You got your stuff ready and started working on Tae's plants
He watched you from inside
FAR inside
He was not gonna risk you finding out about his newfound power
But he could still admire you without the possibility of him burning
But then he forgot
That's the thing about new vampires, they tend to forget easily (that's just what he told himself so he felt less bad about his short attention span)
So he offered you lemonade and walked outside
And
HELL HELL HELL HELL ETERNAL FLAME FIRE WOW HOT BAD HURT OUCH CRY SAD
Crying bleeding losing
You saw smoke literally rising off of Tae's poor little head
And your response was to throw the lemonade at him because he was quite actually on fire
He fell back inside
And he was fine, but now he smelled like lemons
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry are you okay?"
Tae just mumbled a "yeah" from the floor
Giggling, you helped him up
"I guess you could say you're pretty hot"
TAE COULDN'T BELIEVE HIS EARS
"I feel my heart burning for you"
You giggled, "Oh really? For me, huh?"
"Yes, really I'm actually on fire still"
"OH"
Hueningkai
This boy hasn't been a vampire for much longer than a year
But he loves it's perks
Flying, looking hot, super speed and super strength
Except one tiny problem
He couldn't see himself in mirrors
He always knew he was outrageously handsome
BUT HE COULDN'T SEE IT
And that really pissed him off
So he avoided all cameras and reflective surfaces to avoid suspicion
But then he met you
And you were a social media star
HE WANTED TO POST WITH YOU SO BAD BUT HE HAD TO PRETEND HE WAS TOO CAMERA SHY TO GO PUBLIC ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Which made you kind curious but you didn't look into it too much
Until you noticed that Kai had a habit of avoiding ALL reflective surfaces
He wouldn't come into the bathroom when you were doing your makeup
He wouldn't ever be in the same room with you when you were filming videos
He wouldn't order drinks in glasses and would prefer to get the children's plastic cups with animals on them at restaurants
So you decided to conduct an experiment
You were gonna make him look in the bathroom mirror after your shower
You waited until it was a night you were both home when you took a cold shower (so that you couldn't get any steam on the mirrors)
And just when you knew it was time for Huening to be in the living room playing video games you called out to him
"KAI THERE'S A SPIDER IN THE BATHROOM"
You added in a fake sob
And sure enough your overly-protective undead boyfriend stood above you with a shoe in his hand
Right in front of the mirror
Except
He wasn't in it
"Kai? Uh babe?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you invisible?"
"AH" he screamed and jumped into the shower curtain, knocking the whole thing down as well as all the shampoo bottles and soap
"LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY" he cried from the tub
"Babe, what's going on?"
His feet rose up from the tub
"I'm a vampire"
"But you still eat pineapple pizza?"
"I CAN STILL EAT THINGS OTHER THAN HUMAN FLESH"
They Don't Deserve You.
Steve Harrington X Reader
When you ask your friend to go to prom for fun and they decide to leave you, someone far better and more interesting appears and sweeps you off your feet.
β οΈ Warnings: Swearing β οΈ
(Just a short little drabble!)
The lights and music blaring from the venue hid you from the watchful eyes as you were a complete and utter mess. The sky started to darken allowing for a cover as you tried your hardest not to cry, sniffling from the banister leading into the event. Your shoes were scuffed and your wrist hurt from the once pretty corsage and your makeup felt much too heavy on your face. You had tried so hard to make everything about tonight fun since this year truly hadn't been the best. It's supposed to be the night of the year but of course it just ended the same way your previous ones had; you were alone and unhappy.
Your "date's" words rang through your head as you remembered how blatantly rude they had been to you and your friends. Deciding to up and leave the prom entirely, they had walked in with you for the approval of everyone else and left the minute they didn't have a use for you anymore. It wasn't fair. A part of you didn't blame them though. Why would you have expected them to want to stay?
The doors were announced to be closing from the main entryway which you were standing directly outside of. You needed to feel the wind to calm yourself down after today, so you opted to remain right where you were standing beside the railing and hoping for your date to realize they had made a mistake and come driving back to you.
Of course this didn't happen though, and after a couple more moments you picked up your dress so as not to step on it as you walked back towards the horde of other students in sparkly attire and smiling faces. It was going to be hard to meander back into the rest of society after being out here for so long, but you were sure that after a few drinks later this entire school event will be long forgotten.
"Hey!" You heard from under the stair railing. The entire venue had been elevated due to it being on a hill so there was a blind spot out of sight from the teachers roaming around. Looking behind you, you contemplated walking back to your original spot to scope things out but decided it was probably your imagination. Until you heard the voice again.
"("Y/N")!"
It was louder this time, but still a whisper of sorts. Going back towards the banister, you look down and see the most brilliant head of hair. Bright eyes and a shining smile, your friend Steve Harrington stood below you in a black suit and red button up. He had come with a different girl, but he was alone now. Alone with the most excited look on his face.
"Harrington?" You called and tried your best to hide the fact that you'd been crying. Wiping your face with the back of your hands, you put on the best smile you could possibly muster with the sinking feeling in your stomach.
"You look beautiful." He said, coming up to your level from his secret hiding spot. With him standing this close to you, the height difference was apparent as he stood at 6ft. Well, add a couple inches for the hair.
"Thank you." You said, even though you didn't believe it. If you had looked prettier then maybe you wouldn't have been left outside from the party by yourself.
Steve offers his hand out to you and motions his head towards the road. "Wanna get out of here?" He asks, slipping his other hand into his pants pocket.
Confusion dawning your face, you looked for Steve's date. He couldn't just up and leave her, could he?
"What about-"
"My date?" He began, smiling even wider, "She left with yours."
"Oh." Was all you could say, shocked at the idea of your friend leaving because of someone else. You felt the pain in your chest tighten just a little bit more as jealousy filled you. What wasn't envy was self-doubt. Why had things turned out the way they did? And who on earth would leave Steve Harrington when he looks this goddamn good?
"It's really okay! Fuck them." He laughed, placing his hand in yours. You caught a whiff of his deliciously intoxicating cologne and stared at the rest of his outfit. He looked really nice. Too nice to be by himself tonight. Little did you know, he thought the exact same thing about you.
"You know what? Yeah. Fuck them." You said, wiping the stray tear that fell from your cheek as you took off your shoes and followed Harrington into the night towards his car. Running through the grass, you heard one of Kate Bush's popular songs playing, urging you to run faster. Laughing, you allow yourself to feel free and happy being with someone who didn't take you for granted. The way it should've been.
"They don't deserve you!" Steve called out to you over the music, trying his best to be heard over the intensive bass.
"What?!"
"I said, they don't deserve you!"
And just like that, you and Steve drove away into the night, a whole new flood of possibilities overwhelming you and leaving you with the happiest feeling within the pit of your stomach. You silently thanked that asshole for leaving you since someone far cooler with much bigger hair was able to sweep you off your feet.

Promise (Steve Harrington x Reader)
Description: Reader is helping Dustin and Eddie with the bats when things go south. Eddie makes the reader promise to admit her feelings for Steve if they make it out alive.
Warnings: SPOILERS SEASON 4, Character Death, Broken bones, Gore, Mentions of death.
ββPromise me youβre not going to do something to get yourself killed?ββ Steve asks you. You were both sitting outside the RV, you were wrapping the wire around the spear you were going to use against the bats in the upside down.
You rolled your eyes at his assumption, ββIβm donβt plan on dying anytime soon Steve,ββ You set down the spear on your lap looking at him, ββYou better not either.ββ You say threatening him. ββThen who is going to drive me around?ββ You say earning a hint of a smile from him. ββIβm thinking of making you drive me to Yosemite next.ββ
ββYosemite huh?ββ He asks, sounding amused, ββIβve always wanted to go on a roadtrip like that, take all my kids with me when I have them.ββ He tells you.
ββKids as in plural?ββ You ask him. ββYou already have like six,ββ You say gesturing out in the field to Dustin and Eddie who were wrestling, Dustin was in a headlock making you laugh.
ββAnd I want six of my own too,ββ He says and you widen your eyes at him making him laugh, ββI could change my mind but at least two, no three.ββ He sounded very sure of his answer.
ββA big family sounds nice,ββ You tell him.
ββYou think so? Doesnβt scare you away when I say that?ββ He asks fiddling with his hands.
ββNo not at all, plus it makes sense youβre an only child. Figures youβd want a big family.ββ You tell him.
He looked at you like he was shocked, he let out a sigh before he spoke. ββI never really thought of that, but it makes sense.ββ
ββI always do Harrington,ββ You say, taking your hand pushing on his arm gently. You glance up noticing Nancy and Robin talking, she was sawing her gun down it seemed like her conversation with Jason made her a little on edge. ββSo you and Nancy?ββ You ask Steve.
He looked a little uncomfortable when you asked, ββWhat about us?ββ He asks and you give him an annoyed look, he knew what you were asking. ββI donβt know what's going on Iβm just as confused as you.ββ He explains. ββI think apart of it is because Jonathan is halfway across the country.ββ
You look down at the ground unsure of what to say, ββWhat if itβs not that?ββ He looks over to you, ββWould you do that again?ββ You ask him, it was practically eating you alive to know.
ββI feel like a lot of things got left unresolved with us,ββ Is all he answers, ββWould it be wrong if I did?ββ He ask you.
ββI mean itβs your love life Steve,ββ You point out. ββWhy do you care what I think anyway?ββ
Steve looked at you, his face looked like he was confused, ββI always care what you think Y/N,ββ He tells you.
You stand up and Steve looked to you as you did, ββWho knows what happens when we go in upside down Steve, you almost died earlier.ββ You say scrunching your face up at the thought, seeing Steve on the floor, those bats gnawing at his skin would forever be etched in your brain. ββNow is not the time to hold in emotions, if you care about someone you tell them.ββ You see Steve visually take a deep breath, he patted his hands on his jeans standing up next to you. You watched his eyes on Nancy as he took a hand patting your back walking over to her, Robin slowly made her way over to you.
ββYou okay?ββ She asks.
You watched Nancy smile at something Steve said and you shake your head turning to Robin. ββNever better,ββ You say, offering her a fake smile.
If only you could take your own advice.
______________________
Steve was the first to go into the upside down, then Nancy followed of course. Then Robin and finally it was your turn, you grabbed onto the sheets pulling yourself up and finally felt yourself free falling, landing on your back knocking the wind out of you. Steve reached out a hand helping you up, as soon as you were on your feet you pulled your hand from his and he seemed distressed. ββYou okay?ββ He says his hand is touching the side of your arm.
ββWe are currently upside down, how do you think Iβm doing?ββ You say the sarcasm dripping from your voice.
ββRight,ββ Steve says, a moment later a pile of weapons falls down landing on the mattress. You and Steve both turn looking down at it, you bend down grabbing as many as you could, taking yours and strapping it behind your back.
It was moments before you all split up, just as you walked out of the RV behind Dustin and Eddie that Steve stopped you. ββHey listen, if things start to go south, I mean at all you abort.ββ His voice was serious, you glanced at Dustin knowing you had to do what you could to protect him, that if anything happened to him Steve would never forgive himself.
You hear snapping breaking you out of your thoughts, Steve looked at you, ββYou hear me Y/N? No hero shit.ββ He emphasizes.
You walk closer to Steve staring him straight in the eye, ββNow do we look like heros to you?ββ You ask him to gesture to Dustin then Eddie.
ββWe are not heroes,ββ Eddie emphasized behind you, laughing.
You reach forward laying a hand on Steve's shoulder, ββDonβt worry Steve, you can be the hero.ββ You tell him. He gave a sort of half hearted grin but he still looked nervous as Hell.
His eyes lingered on your for a moment before he pulled away your hand dropping back to your side. Just as he turned around Eddie stepped out from behind you, ββHey Steve?ββ He calls out. Steve turns around to look at him, ββMake him pay.ββ
Steve nods, turning back around taking off with Nancy and Robin. ββWe should go,ββ You tell both Eddie and Dustin. You all began walking off in the opposite direction, a few seconds had passed and you glanced back to look at Steve for more time, he had happened to be looking too. You shift your weapon on your back, turn around and walk backwards, you look at Steve and give him a salute from afar but it was too far for you to see his response back.
ββHumor me Y/N,ββ Eddie tells you. ββHow long have you been pining over Harrington?ββ He asks.
ββWhat?ββ You ask him to turn around, noticing both Eddie and Dustin with an amused smile on their faces.
ββAt least since last year,ββ Dustin chimes in.
ββDustin!ββ You yell at him. ββYou donβt know that!ββ You tell him.
ββDo you not remember when you were on drugs last year?ββ He asks you to refer to the Russian Base underneath the mall. You had worked there with Steve and Robin last year and got wrapped into everything.
ββDrugs?ββ Eddie says amused. ββYou donβt take me for that kind of girl.ββ He smirks.
ββIβm not!ββ You glare at Dustin, ββHe left out key information, which was that I was unknowingly drugged by Russian Soldiers!ββ You say and Eddie's face looked bewildered.
ββWhat?ββ Eddie says his voice seemed confused and amused at the same time.
ββShe totally confessed to being in love with Steve last year when she was on drugs,ββ He tells you.
ββWhy have you never told me this?ββ You ask him.
Dustin Shrugs his shoulders, ββNever came up,ββ He says simply.
You sigh and Eddie laughs, ββIs it really that obvious?ββ You ask tilting your head.
ββKind of I mean you practically lost it when he got pulled in the water,ββ He says. ββWhy havenβt you said anything to him?ββ
ββJust never the right time, last year after the mall was just too much. And finally when things were calming down this happens.ββ You admit. ββAnd now Nancy is back and Steve has a soft spot when it comes to her, and I donβt know if I want to compete with Nancy.ββ
ββShe was his first love,ββ Dustin chimes in.
ββThanks,ββ You pause. ββFor that reminder Dustin,ββ He holds his hands up in defense.
ββYou should tell him,ββ Eddie says.
ββIf we make it out of here I just might,ββ You admit to him seeing the RV in the distance. ββEmphasis on the if,ββ You felt the nerves in your stomach getting worse by the minute and it was only going to get worse from here.
ββPromise?ββ He says.
ββWhat?ββ
ββPromise youβll say something,ββ He says.
You look at him amused that he cared so much, ββPromise,ββ You say scrunching your eyebrows not questioning him as to why he cared.
When you got to the RV everything had seemed to speed up, you were waiting for the phase three signal from Robin. Dustin was supposed to tell you when Eddie was and Dustin were on top of the RV getting the Amp set up to broadcast the sound, you were down on the ground putting up more metal to help shield you when the bats came. Plus eventually youβd end up here anyway, that was the plan when the bats got closed you all were to use the RV as a way to shield yourself knowing they would come after you.
You hear Dustin from up above you, ββCopy, Initiating Phase three!ββ Dustin yells. Only a moment later you heard Eddie beginning to shred on the guitar, as the song went on you felt your heart practically pouding out of your chest. A flash of red lightning is what caught your attention seeing the silhouette of the bats getting closer.
ββDustin!ββ You yell, you could see him glance down at you from the top. You point with your finger at the bats showing him your plan was working, he looked through the binoculars and yelled to Eddie. You ran back to the inside of the cage surrounding the van your hand against the metal ready to close it when they finally came down. And the thirty seconds quickly turned into ten and Dustin and Eddie came barreling in as you slammed the cage shut just as the bats hit causing you to jump. ββInside! Inside!ββ You scream at them following behind as they ran in the RV slamming the door shut.
You were all panting, your hands rested on your knees as you were bent over trying to catch your breath, ββDude!ββ Dustin calls out gaining your attention, ββMost metal ever!ββ He says and Eddie and him begin jumping upside down, you look at them both laughing.
ββThat was pretty amazing Eddie,ββ You tell him.
ββBest concert Iβll ever go to,ββ He laughs as you tell him. Dustin and Eddie look to one another and begin yelling, jumping up and down shaking the van even more than it already was from the bats outside.
It didnβt take long after that for you all to figure out you were surrounded, the screeching was getting louder meaning more and more were around you. They were banging up against the metal, all three of you stood back to back with your weapon in your hand as you all just waited for them to break through.
That was when it got quiet.
ββHey dipshits!ββ Dustin screams.
You took a deep breath as he yelled, ββDustin!ββ You whispered.
ββGive up that easy huh?ββ Dustin screams even lounder.
Both you and Eddie shush him, ββIs that really necessary?ββ Eddie asks.
The clattering from above you stopped any conversation. You looked up hearing the metal above you being scraped, ββEddie they canβt get in right?ββ You ask him warily, all of you followed the sound above ending up under a vent. ββEddie?ββ You ask him after no response
You screamed when the bats broke through the vent, the panic rising in your chest. You lifted your weapon moving in close with Dustin taking turns stabbing the bats trying to get in. βDie! Die, Die!β Dustin screams everytime he stabs them.
βEddie!β You yell. βEddie help!β You yell in a panic.
A second later you feel Eddie pushing you back slightly, βGet out of the way! Get out of the way!β He yells the shield he made earlier in his hand. He runs directly at the vent slamming it over top of him stopping the bats. Dustin falls back leaning against something a deep breath falls from his lips.
βHoly shit, Holy shit,β Eddie keeps repeating.
You felt yourself relax but it was only for a short moment, until Dustin spoke. βAre there other vents?β
The look on Eddieβs face told you there was, βshit, shit, shit!β He kept muttering. Everyone moves with him running to the back of the RV where Eddieβs bedroom was and as soon as he swung the door open the bats came flying toward you ready to attack. βShit!β He screams along with you and Dustin pushing you both back behind the door slamming it shut. Immediately after he shut the door the wood began to break, you knew it wouldnβt hold long.
ββShit, shit, shit,ββ You mutter, also hearing similar words from both Dustin and Eddie. ββWhat do we do?ββ You yell over the bats pounding into the door, ββThatβs not gonna hold long!ββ You yell at them.
ββLetβs go! Letβs go!ββ Eddie screams.
You turn to Dusin who already had his hands on the sheets, you help him by holding his foot in your hand giving him something to push off as he climbs through the gate. ββEddie, go!ββ You yell at him as Dustin goes through the gate.
You were the oldest making sure everyone got through before you was important, ββYou first!ββ He tells you.
ββEddie, go!ββ You yell trying to plead with him.
ββWe donβt have time to argue go!ββ He yells at you holding his hand out for your foot. He was right there was no time to argue the door was breaking further by the second. You lift your leg putting your foot in his hand and he helps give you a push up at you grab onto the sheet pulling up as fast as you could. You landed on your back, Dustin held his hand out pulling you up so Eddie had a place to land.
You finally got to your feet looking down at the gate seeing Eddie starting to climb, he was about halfway up when he paused. ββEddie! Come on!ββ You scream down at him, Dustin doing the same next to you. ββCome on!ββ You yell at him.
Eddie seemed to have some sort of realization on his face as he looked up at both you and Dusitn. ββEddie climb!ββ You yell at him. You got down on your knees peering down at him as he glanced back at the door.
Eddie let go of the sheet a moment later and you and Dustin screamed, ββEddie what the Hell?ββ You yell down at him. He picked up his spear and cut the sheet and it dropped into Dustin's hand.ββEddie! No! What are you doing?ββ
He picked up the mattress and began flipping it out of the way, no doubt so you and Dustin couldnβt follow in pursuit. ββNo! No! Eddie!ββ Dustin was screaming next to you.
ββWhat are you doing Eddie?ββ
ββIβm buying more time,ββ Is all he says. Grabbing his shield and the spear, he ran off after that.
You watched Dustin next to you with his hands on his head in distress, ββOh god,ββ He says to himself.
You looked around panicked and unsure of what to do, you couldnβt let Eddie go alone. Think, think, think. ββDustin, I am going to get him and bring his ass back here.ββ You tell him. You grab the chair laying a few feet away, putting it just under the gate.
ββY/N let me go!ββ Dustin yells at you as you brace yourself for a run. You were a few feet down the hallway you knew a running start would help you.
ββNo,ββ You tell him sternly. ββYou stay here, do not follow me Dustin, and when you can radio Steve.ββ You instruct him. You took a deep breath ignoring the rest of Dustin's pleads to get you to stay and him to go.
You took off running and as soon as your feet got to the chair you jumped, you went through the gate and landed on your arm. You screamed in pain when you landed, ββY/N? Y/N? What happened?ββ You can hear Dustin yelling.
When you finally got over the immediate wave of pain you pushed yourself up with your opposite hand looking down you could see your hand was visible disformed at the wrist, you had broken it. ββIβm fine Dustin,ββ You call up to him though your voice says otherwise. ββRadio Steve when you can!ββ You tell him through your tears, the pain was terrible, but you had no time to wait around Eddie was in trouble.
After that you walked out of the RV, Eddie couldnβt be too far ahead from you. You looked around the area when you got outside noticing the bike was missing that had been there previously. ββDammit,ββ You mutter to yourself. You heard a loud noise come from inside the RV one similar to when you had come down. When you peered in the door you saw Dustin laying on the ground his face grimaced in pain as he held his leg.
ββDustin!ββ You yell running toward him. ββI told you to stay!ββ He mustβve landed on it. ββAre you okay?ββ You ask him.
ββI landed on it.ββ He tells you through the tears in his eyes.
ββCan you walk?ββ
He nods his head, you reach down grabbing his hand with your good arm helping him off the floor but he puts no pressure on his leg. ββGo ahead without me,ββ He tells you. You reach over grabbing what looked like a broom handing it to him so he could use it to help walk.
You didnβt wait another second; you practically ran out the door glancing around for the bats in the sky. The red lightning illuminated the bats and you saw they were swarming in a circle which couldnβt be good at all. You looked back Dustin was only a few feet behind you hobbling toward you, you quickened your pace running over toward the bats not giving yourself long enough to debate if it was a good or bad idea.
When you finally got there all of the bats had dropped from the sky as if some invisible force had killed them. You saw Eddie laying on the floor, all the bats surrounded him. You ran as fast as you could landing on your knees in front of him. The blood was coming from his mouth, you knew that was not a good sign.
ββEddie? Eddie?ββ You say taking your good hand touching his cheek, tapping it lightly, ββHey come on you need to look at me,ββ You forced a smile at him with the tears forming in your eyes at his state. ββYouβre okay, youβre okay.ββ You kept repeating.
A moment later Dustin dropped onto his hands carefully getting on the ground with you, he pulled Eddieβs head so it was resting on his leg, ββOh god Eddie,ββ He said examining him, there was blood all over him.
ββDustin,ββ You say still trying to hold back your tears but he just kept his eyes on Eddie, ββDustin I am gonna try and find something maybe we can stop the bleeding,ββ You tell him. He doesnβt seem to pay attention so you raise off the ground and start running back toward the RV once again, the sheet in there that could stop the bleeding right?
You ran as fast as you could to the RV still cradling your arm to your chest, you finally made your way back running inside. The sheet was already on the floor so you quickly picked it up running back out of the RV toward Eddie and Dustin, that was when the ground began to shake. You felt the ground shaking and immediately tripped but caught yourself. The loud noise behind you caught your attention and you watched as the gate that was once inside the RV had broken out and it just kept expanding straight ahead, luckily it was opposite of where Dustin was.
The ground shaking was making it hard to walk but you got back to Dustin as fast as you could, you noticed when he came into view that he stood above where Eddie had previously laid on his leg, Eddie laid on the ground shaking with the earth but he wasnβt moving. ββDustin?ββ You yell out at him gaining his attention. When you got close enough you noticed the tears were streaming down his face, ββHe didnβt-?ββ You couldnβt finish the sentence.
He shook his head before you could finish anyway, ββWhat do we do?ββ He asked and you could clearly hear how emotional he was.
ββI donβt know-ββ You say glancing around, ββI donβt know!ββ You say. ββDid you radio Steve? We need to call Steve - Nancy, Nancy will know what to do.ββ You tell him feeling distressed.
ββI did,ββ He tells you. ββNo response, from him or anyone else.ββ He tells you.
And it seemed like someone, somewhere was looking out for you and Dustin because only a moment later you heard a voice sounding just a stressed as you felt coming through.
βY/N! Dustin?β You hear coming from the radio, it was the sweetest sound you had ever heard.
____________
ββY/N!ββ You hear your mom call from downstairs, ββPhone!ββ
ββBusy,ββ You yell, staring up at the ceiling, not busy at all in fact.
You hear footsteps coming up the stairs and you pull yourself up from the bed resting on your elbows anticipating her opening the door. She swings the door open a moment later, ββItβs Steve,ββ She pauses, ββAgain.ββ You sigh. ββHe really wants to talk to you honey, heβs probably just worried.ββ
ββAre you going to work?ββ You ask, noticing her scrub uniform.
ββYep, lots of shortages. Lots of people packed up and left, I donβt blame them if we had the money we would too.ββ She tells you. ββDo you need anything before I leave? Need any more medicine for your arm?ββ She asks and you glance down at the cast.
ββIβm good,ββ You tell her. ββLove you,ββ You tell her before she leaves. Your mom worked as a nurse at the hospital when you finally got out of the upside down you went straight to her and she was pretty much able to help you get in to get your arm that same night although your injuries were nothing compared to some peoples.
A few hours later you were down in the kitchen making a frozen pizza, a little bit after the pizza went in the doorbell rang. You began walking toward the front door when the person decided to knock persistently, ββIβm coming!ββ You yell, shaking your head slightly annoyed.
When you pulled the door open Steve Harrington stood in front of you hands in his pockets. You looked at him in shock for a moment which gave him the perfect opportunity to slip in the house, ββCan I come in?ββ He asks, already walking through the door.
ββSure come on in,ββ You say sarcastically, shutting the door behind you. ββWhat are you doing here?ββ You ask him.
He puts one hand on his hip resting it there, ββWell you donβt return calls and itβs been three days.ββ He tells you. ββWhy are you ignoring me?ββ He asks.
You sigh, ββI just needed some time to myselfβ¦a lot,ββ You say your eyes are focusing on a single spot on the floor, ββA lot happened.ββ You tell him.
ββI know it did,ββ He says, stepping forward. ββAre you okay?ββ He asks.
You shrug your shoulders, ββI mean yeah,ββ You tell him but you can tell in your voice that you were about to break.
ββHey,ββ Steve says gently, pulling you into a hug, your hands wrapped around his torso as he rests his head on top of yours. ββYouβre okay now,ββ He tells you.
ββWe just left him Steve,ββ You sob.
You could feel him pull you in closer if that was possible, ββWe had to get out, and there was no way we could carry him out.ββ He says rubbing comforting circles on your back with his hand.
ββHis uncle-He-He is putting up missing flyers for him.ββ You try to get out your crying not letting you get out a sentence without having to take a deep breath. ββMy mom she told me theyβre all over the hospital.ββ
Steve pulls back from you, ββCome on,ββ He says walking you to the couch sitting down with you, he still had his arm around you and you curled your body up so it rested on him. ββWe did what we could, what we had to do.ββ He tries to tell you. ββAnd that doesnβt make what happened any easier but we have to think about what could've happened had we not gotten out when we did. Someone else couldβve been hurt, then what would we have done?ββ He asks you.
ββIt just feels wrong,ββ You tell him. You push yourself up looking at him, ββHow is Dustin?ββ You ask, realizing you hadnβt talked to him since you got home.
ββHeβs rough,ββ He admits. ββBut managing.ββ
You didnβt say anything after that, you just both sat in silence. An hour or so later your head was in his lap and he was tracing circles on your shoulder as you stared up at the ceiling. ββThanks for coming over,ββ You tell him.
He looks down at you, ββThis is the only way I could talk to you,ββ He says and you smile sheepishly at him.
ββSteve?ββ You ask. He hums in response, ββI donβt know what happened with you and Nancy and I made a promise I would do this, and I really want to keep it.ββ You start to ramble and Steve looks at you intently. ββAnd I'm just gonna come out and say it instead of beating around the bush-ββ You continue.
ββY/N,ββ Steve interrupted you, ββJust say it.ββ
ββIβm in love with you, and not in the way best friends love each other.ββ You say watching his eyes widen a bit looking at you as if he was shocked. ββAnd I have been for a while..ββ You pause, not really sure how he was feeling.
ββYou are?ββ He asks. ββSince when?ββ He asks.
ββSince last year,ββ You tell him, ββWhen you got the job at scoops and I was training you I had a crush and weβve hung out a lot more since and yeah,ββ You explain to him. ββAnd I just-,ββ You pause feeling emotional from the confession. ββI just had to tell you, I promised Eddie I would.ββ
He glanced up when you mentioned Eddie his facial expressions looked shocked like he didnβt know what to say. βI just had to tell you and if you donβt feel the same-β You began to say but your were cut short when you felt his hand come up to your cheek he was staring at you not saying a word.
βSteve?β You say breathless from his touch.
He doesnβt say anything instead he leans in his lips touching yours. He was slow with it and delicate, his hand gently resting on your cheek. βI never wanted to ruin anything,β He says when he pulls away. βLast year I realized I felt the same, and then now when we were upside down all I could think was is Y/N safe? That's when I knew.β
He paused for a moment, βAnd then I heard Dustin on the radio and he was begging us to come and I felt like I couldnβt breathe because he was so vague I thought something happened to you,β He tells you.
You reach your hand up putting it over the one that was on your cheek, βAnd then I saw you and your hand,β He glances down to the cast.
βI was fine,β You say, offering him a smile, βI was just waiting for you,β You admit. βYou always keep me waiting, Harrington,β He smiles.
He leans in kissing you again, βNo more waiting around, Iβm right here.β He tells you.

I have like 5 other fics im working on rn so just wanted to post something but Request are open still!
OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO CUTE, I'M CRYING ππ
requested <3
PAIRING ! txt x f!reader
WC ! 4k
GENRE ! fluff, crack
WARNINGS ! jealousy, slight insecurities, strangers asking u out
a/n: the readmore cut actually worked for once a tear rolled down my leg . ty for the req nonie hope u enjoy !
// CHOI SOOBIN !
DISPLEASED. EXTREMELY DISPLEASED AND ON HIGH ALERT !!
soobs doesnβt find himself getting jealous often
he trusts you more than anyone in the world and basks in the knowledge that youβre just as whipped for him as he is for you,,,
something super big would have to happen for him to genuinely get upset
and so when he does..
oh boy
good luck dealing with a clingy sulky baby :(
everything was going SO well today too
soobin was very proud of himself for organising the beach date you were visibly enjoying to the fullest <3
youβd spent all day making a giant sandcastle, playing around in the water, having an intense game of volleyball that soobin complEtely dominated and itβs not because heβs good. heβs just ridiculously tall and barely needed to jump
and of course !! getting ice cream !!! the highlight of a very hot day
you were both still dripping saltwater, but soobin put on a t-shirt over his swim trunks while you decided to stay in your bathing suit due to the fear of getting your clothes soaked too
while you waited in line for the ice cream truck, your boyfriend was busy trying to fix his hair when you feel someone poke your shoulder
of course you turn around to investigate,,
just to see some random guy around your age holding his phone opened to a new contact, a confident smile on his face as he continuously glances you up and down
bro wasnβt even trying to be subtle with the staring >:[
βhey, so i was just wondering if i could get your number, i think youβre gorgeous.β
THE SPEED IN WHICH SOOBIN TURNED AROUND
he doesnβt even say anything, just completely awestruck that this asshat couldnβt see him right there?!?
yeah, okay maybe u could pass as friends since he wasnβt much for pda, but too bad!!
he shouldβve known and now soobin has the biggest pout on his face as he stares daggers at the man, waiting for you to deal with the situation yourself unless the time comes for him to step in
you just blink in surprise, βoh, me? thanks, but iβm here with my boyfriend.β
finally, he follows your finger to meet soobinβs eyes, gulping at the way he has his arms crossed and face sporting a please-dont-actually-try-to-fight-me-but-i-hate-you glare
personally you think he looks like a cute angry fluffball
but clearly the guy is slightly intimidated β perhaps by his height and built biceps β judging by how frantically he shoves his phone back in his pocket
βoh, my bad. sorry bro,β he apologizes, jogging off before he could embarrass himself further
as soon as heβs far enough, soobin starts murmuring under his breath, wrapping a big arm around your shoulder
sulky soob activated T-T
expect him to be extra clingy and show lots of affection in public for the rest of the day regardless if heβs feeling better or not about the situation
which is SO not like him
the grip he has on your waist even makes yOu nervous
βmβ not your bro. who does he think he is? seriously. looking at you like a piece of meat, iβll- iβll punch him!β
you snicker knowing damn well your boyfriend wouldnβt even hurt a fly
amused, you watch as he begins tapping his foot, clearly thinking way too deep into the situation, βcouldnβt even ask if you had a boyfriend first! do i not look boyfriend-y enough?β his heart shaped lips form a frown, showing off his dimples unintentionally
βlove, youβre the most boyfriend-y guy here, okay? did you forget how that guy nearly shit his pants when he saw you?β
a childish grin sports soobinβs cheeks at that, pride flowing through him and making you chuckle in return
βnow cβmon big baby, what flavor are you getting?β
yeah youβve made him feel a bit better about it
but donβt expect him to be anything but attached to your hip all day <\3
even when you go to the washroom heβs standing outside the door like a guard dog
constantly on the lookout as if that guy is plotting to randomly show up and steal you away !! he has to be sure :( !!
when you tease him though,, he of course gets all defensive
βay, you wouldnβt be laughing if it was some girl trying to ask me out! you donβt understand.β
when you tell him that heβs right and that youβd be pissed too, he feels a bit better nβ goes back to having only a sliGht pout
but pssst secret
some cuddles and kisses when you get back home should fix him right up <3 !!
// CHOI YEONJUN !
the most atrocious yet blank stare imaginable
he wouldnβt even process whatβd happened for a few seconds like
huh π§ thatβs. thatβs my girlfriend what do u mean. doesnβt everybody know sheβs mine what no how could this happen plea
at the same time junie isnβt really a fan of confrontation and yβknow
calling someone out
but in this situation IF he isnβt busy being the real life version of the standing man emoji HE WILL SPEAK UP !!
when something like this actually happened, it was originally a very chill day for you and jun <3
he invited you to come grocery shopping with him for the dorm
and man oh man he looks so boyfriend with that plain white tee and half his hair in a lilβ ponytail T-T
you tried not to ogle him the whole time
but clearly you werenβt doing well considering he already caught you staring twice β¦
βyah, cutie,β yeonjun barks with a teasing look on his face, βstop drooling and go get soobinβs bread. iβll be in the ramen aisle.β
you roll your eyes but listen anyway, making your way two aisles over to find the bread section containing a man whoβs carefully glancing at his phone, then back at the display with a lost expression
as you get closer you quickly realise heβs having trouble finding the bread on his list, so of course you decide to help him out like a good citizen
βis this the one you need?β
the man whips his head up at your voice, a grateful smile on his face as he nods and acceps the loaf carefully
βyeah, thanks. youβd think being so tall i could find things easily but..β shyly, he looks away, ruffling his bangs habitually
you chuckle while grabbing a loaf of soobinβs favorite bread, feeling the guy watch closely from beside you
βi uh, actually recently moved here and i was thinking,β he swallows, βwould you want to help me find a good place to eat? on me, of course.β
you blink
was he asking you as a friendly gesture of thanks or as a date
you honestly couldnβt tell
βwell iβll have to ask my boyfriend, heβd probably wanna know the details and stuff. or maybe he could come with us?β
βoh, that isnβt reallyββ
just as he opens his mouth to reply, a familiar pale arm wraps around your waist and pulls you into a sturdy chest
βhey princess,β yeonjun aggressively pecks the top of your head, a gesture that has your stomach swooning, βwhoβs this?β
obliviously, you smile, βoh, we just met here and he was going to take me toββ
since you were in front of him, you didnβt get to see yeonjunβs cold stare that caused the man to quickly put his free hand up in surrender
βoh, no no, nevermind that! sorryβ uh, thank you again.β he barely even finished his sentence before turning around and storming off, ears bright red
you begin to question why he was suddenly rushing, but youβre snapped out of it by none other than your boyfriend swivelling you around to face him
yeonjun just stares at you for a moment
looking carefully at your features before cupping your face and leaning down for a kiss
his lips were always so plush nβ soft and you desperately wanted to keep feeling them but
it couldnβt be too long as you were still in a grocery store after all
but even once you pull away yeonjun grabs your hand tightly
βi leave for five minutes and other guys are already hovering around you like flies,β he complains, duck lips turning down cutely
βnow you know what itβs like,β you snort, rubbing his knuckles with your fingers laced through his. βyou know iβm only yours, ignore them.β
he looks down at you, a fond yet playful gaze in his pretty eyes
βoh really? what are you? i think i forgot, say it again~β
βyours, dumbass,β you canβt help but smile at his antics ^^
βthatβs right, mine. mine. all mine.β with each word, yeonjun gives your head another loving smooch <3
// CHOI BEOMGYU !
now this one ..
hate to break it to you but gyu may start laughing and mocking the guy as soon as heβs gone
he finds you rejecting other men hilarious, especially watching the way their face falls in defeat :)
butttt sometimes he gets a little irked out,, especially when the guy has pretty much anything better than him whether it be height or just neater hair
nβ even though you reject those kinds of guys just as quickly as any other, his insecurities tend to eat away at him
so make sure to reassure your boy !!
you and beomgyu decided to bus downtown for a day at the cat cafe that recently opened
things were going better than expected considering going on a weekday apparently meant not many other customers would be around ^^
plus the amount of lockscreen-worthy photos you got of gyu with kittens was astronomical HOW WERE YOU GONNA CHOOSE!!
out of the corner of your eye though, you couldnβt help but fidget at the feeling of the employee staring daggers at you
and at first you worried you were doing something wrong, but all youβve been doing thus far is play with a grey kitten, laugh at gyu, and take a million pictures
βthis one really likes me. i think we should take him home,β beomgyu declares, holding up a small white kitten to demonstrate
but when you donβt reply, he sends you a concerned gaze, βyou okay?β
βyeah.. just, that guy wonβt stop staring at me.β
when he looks to see who you were talking about, a frown pulls onto beomgyuβs lips
the man was even taller than him and had soft, neatly parted black bangs that somehow rested perfectly by his eyes
donβt even get him started on the uniform he attired being pulled up a bit to reveal tight muscles against his arms, whatβs a guy like that doing working at a cat cafe of all places?
beomgyu turns to you, placing the white kitten back onto the floor, βwant me to go tell him to stop? i can be very intimidating~β
you watch as he wiggles his eyebrows and snort, βitβs fine. i wanna go ask him about this grey kitten anyway, sheβs cute.β
immediately, gyu stands up along with you, βwell iβm coming too.β
what? he didnβt want that guy talking to you one on one >:[
as you make your way over to where the employee stands behind a counter, a smile quickly rises to his face when he catches you approaching
βhey there, can i help you with anything? would you like a drink?β
the whole time he never takes his eyes off of you, and beomgyu crosses his arms at the realisation that this man was totally ignoring him! the audacity!!
so of course he opens his mouth, βyeah, actually. iβll get a latte, please.β
finally, the man turns to him, and his expression falters for a second before he nods and gets to work
you give beomgyu a strange look that he ignores
βyou donβt even like lattes,β you murmur with furrowed brows
he simply nods to the kitten in your arms, a defensive glare on his face, βyah, donβt forget what we came here for.β
just in time, the man turns back to you while finishing up the latte and sliding it over to your boyfriend, who emits a barely audible βthanksβ
a smile quickly returns to his face as he takes you in, along with the kitten youβre holding, βanything for you, pretty girl?β
what
whatβd he call you
beomgyuβs jaw DROPS touches the ground even
that is HIS nickname for you!!!
he immediately frowns, a competitive gleam in his eyes as he reaches down to pat your head
βshe is pretty, isnβt she?β
apparently the guy didnβt get the hint as he quickly agrees with a cheery βof courseβ π
you seem equally confused but you quickly cough and speak up, βiβ uh, i was just wondering what breed this kitten was.β
with another cheesy smile that has beomgyu gagging, he replies, βthatβs a british shorthair. we actually have a new litter of shorthairs arriving next week. if you decide to stop by i could give you a personal introduction.β
the man winks, sending another surge of fury through beomgyu, βalong with a coffee on the house, of course.β
β¦ it honestly wasnβt a bad deal
but judging by the way beomgyu grabbed your hand and dragged you towards the exit, you assumed it was a no
βsorry, thanks for the offer!β you barely make out before the cafe door slams closed
βalong with a coffee on the house, of course,β beomgyu mocks the manβs deep voice, face scrunched up obnoxiously while you groan next to him
βdonβt let him ruin our nice day baby, cβmon,β you reassure the boy, smoothing out his frustrated wrinkles with your thumb, βiβve already forgotten what that loser looks like.β
beomgyuβs snickers, relief taking over his features as he stares down at the sidewalk
βmkay. you think iβm better looking, right?β
βhe isnβt even competition next to you.β
he gets giddier by each word, slowly going back to his regular self whilst a small :> rises to his lips
βand youβre all mine, right?β
βyeah,β you bump his shoulder, smirking playfully, βand youβre mine?β
his smile grows, βobviously.β
gyu mostly stays positive like that through the remainder of the date, but later you may find him sitting and staring off into space, once again reminiscing on what couldβve made that guy think you werenβt taken, if he wasnβt good enough, etc
but donβt worry! as long as youβre ready to offer words of affirmation and big spooning, heβll be back to you in no time ^^
// KANG TAEHYUN !
not a very big reaction
itβs terry weβre talking about !! our unfazed king
he knows youβre his, whatβs there to worry about ^^
honestly he might even chuckle at whoever had the confidence to try and ask you out rigHt in front of him
he lets you deal with it yourself unless it escalates in any way,, in that case oh boy is he ready
mans can finally put those hard-earned muscles to use <3
anways so you and tyun were having a nice lilβ outing at a cafe for lunch
being seated by the window, you spent every few seconds pointing at random things outside like literal cats <3
at one point a squirrel ran by and you immediately pointed at it going βyouβ THEN TYUN DID HIS CUTE GIGGLE
he was in one of his cute moods and you could swear his eyes held the whole world when he smiled at you like that :(
that kinda changed when the waiter came though,,
you were a bit oblivious, but taehyun quickly caught on to the way the young manβs gaze would linger on you each time he handed you something no matter it was your drink, a napkin, absolutely any reason he could use to stAre at you
and despite him not being a very confrontational person, he makes sure youβre fully aware of what he sees
β that guy totally wants you,β he comments as if it was something as simple as the weather π
meanwhile you nearly choke on your drink, βthatβ what? who?β
βwaiter guy.β
βand at first you smile, βaww, you jealous?β
but of course ,, big mistake
βof what? youβre in love with me, arenβt you?β HEβS SO GRHRRGFH
you do that classic pouty pout and taehyun secretly wishes the table wasnβt there so he could lean over and kiss it away because aWww <3
bUt after that incident things were running smoothly, and since the waiter hadnβt returned for a while, taehyun figured itβd be a good time to run to the bathroom
well
apparently he couldnβt get a moment of peace because as soon as he waddled back to where you were seated, waiter guy had his elbow on the table, writing something on a sticky note while murmuring something that taehyun could only catch a few words from
ββcan always call me if he messes up, iβll be waiting.β
OOOHH yeah no heβs shaking in fury on the inside but stays cool on the outside
the sound of your sweet voice telling the man you werenβt interested and that something like that would never happen manages to cool him down a bit, but tyun still makes sure to bump the manβs shoulder extra hard while pacing back to his seat
βwhatβd i miss?β your boyfriendβs voice is so calm as usual,, but also somehow scary and cold nβ even yOu get nervous!!
βi- uh, enjoy your meal.β
taehyun SCOFFS as the man wobbles away with his tail tucked between his legs, βhow pathetic,β he frowns
ouchβ¦
you reach over to his knuckles which instantly softens up his tense muscles, watching as he sighs
βsee, youβre just too gorgeous. it gets bothersome,β as usual, his voice is calm, but this time laced with a hint of dramatic playfulness, making you giggle shyly
youβve gotten better and better at reading and understanding your boyfriendβs speech habits and tones, which is something not many could successfully do ^^
thatβs pretty much it though
he might bring it up another time as almost a little inside joke between you guys, but he prefers to say that the guy was too irrelevant to bring any more attention to !!
but also
on the bill..
taehyun reattached that sticky note he tried to hand you and wrote something on it
unfortunately he folded it so you never got to see, but judging by the nervous stutters the waiter let out while handing him the receipt, you guessed it wasnβt too polite
your mind is taken off that real quick though when his larger hand is cupping yours :D
βcβmon princess,β with the gentlest forehead kiss ever, βwe wonβt be back here, thatβs for sure.β
// HUENING KAI !
does that thing where his head just frantically shakes between u two like O-0
nervous chuckles awkward foot movements
starts inwardly panicking like fUck what should a boyfriend do in this situation SHOULD I BE PUNCHING THAT GUY
because lowkey
he doesnβt care that much,,
he trusts you fully nβ knows that guy is getting rejected
by the end of the whole fiasco he may end up having a nice conversation with the stranger as if theyβre besties
theyβll be discussing how awful the weatherβs been in the past week while you just stand there utterly gobsmacked
..heβs hyuka whatβd you expect
however
do note that your boy may become unusually clingy after itβs all over
and if you question him he may or may not gaslight you into thinking everythingβs normal out of embarrassment <3
anyways SEGWAY GOES HERE (coughs. so smooth)
being the rock-paper-scissor loser that you were
your co-workers left you alone to close up the local convenience store for the night (boooo tomato tomato)
closing was in a mere five minutes, and you were more than ready to book it out the door nβ spend your remaining waking hours watching anime with kai
AND all his plushies of course ^^
besides that NOBODY else was invited
not even soobin despite how he usually loves watching anime with you guys :(
kai insisted it was his very much needed alone time with you
so when the bell above the door jingles, a smile already makes itβs way to your face, expecting to see your boyfriend there and ready to drive you home
well.. not exactly
a man that looks around your age runs in, quickly sprinting over to the grocery section
and youβre just like well. shit.
if this is a robbery youβre fully prepared to sacrifice everything in the store
whatβd they expect paying you minimum wage ??
but before you even raise your hands in surrender, the man has already made his way to the cashier, panting and huffing as he drops his basket onto the counter
βsorry, i know you close in a few minutes but if you could ring me up itβd be really, really great.β
you blink
βoh. yeah, sure. sorry, i thought you were a thief this whole time.β
watching you scan his items, the man giggles, βmy bad. itβs.. a long story.β
βclearly, if youβre buying energy drinks at this time of night.β
again, he chuckles, leaning his palms on the table. βhey, youβre quite cute,β just as he speaks up, the doorbell rings again, βcould i get your number?β
meanwhile you lift your head to see kai, who is now awkwardly staring between you both with a nervous smile on his lips
facepalming inwardly, you clear your throat, βuh- sorry, my boyfriend is- um, right there.β
when the guy turns to face him, kai just coughs with a barely audible, βhiβ
βshit, thatβs embarrassing. my badβ again.β you almost feel pity as the man fumbles to put his card back in his wallet, grabbing his bag and speedwalking to the door
but right before he can leave, kai speaks up out of nowhere, βwhere- whereβd you get your jacket?β
you give him an odd stare, matching the guy who backtracks in confusion, βuh, i dunno. why?β
βi think i have the same one, that brand is super underrated,β kai grins nervously, and honestly, youβre starting to feel like a proud mom watching her kid make their first friend at pre-school
after the stranger gasps and brings up how heβs never met anyone else who knows it, they ramble for another few minutes before he eventually checks his phone, apologizing and saying that he needs to leave
nOt without exchanging numbers with your boyfriend of course
when kai turns around to see you shaking your head in disbelief, he bursts into a fit of screechy dolphin laughter
βhe came for your number and ended up with mine instead!β
you smack his shoulder, countering the endeared smile growing on your lips, βgod, youβre insane. who the hell makes friends with a guy who asked their girlfriend out minutes prior?β
grabbing your bag for you, kai throws it over his shoulder and wiggles his brows, βyour boyfriend does, cutie. i personally think i handled it great.β
βyeah, whatever. go watch demon slayer with him instead.β
he pinches your cheek, cooing mockingly, βaw, no need to be jealous! i only wanna watch with my pretty girl~β
heβs acting all cocky right now
but right as kai starts to gets sleepy, he begins mumbling on about how much he doesnβt like when others try to steal you from him, and that heβll do anything to be the one staying by your side permanently ^^ <3

(Different versionβ¬οΈ)
Iβve been slowly obsessing over this two because of all the possibilities their duo can have. HEAR ME OUT (rant warning):
Them meeting after such climactic moment of their story is beneficial for their own, Will post-fall and Nigel post-Gabi. Will ending up after the fall alone, Hannibal dead or leaving him, he returns now as an agent in the FBI or something similar, divorcing with Molly. (This can be different, at the end just that his life turns monotone) He ends up in Bucharest because of gang wars back at home, Jack and Wills relationship now more close. There he ends up getting attacked by a gang that figured out who he was but was saved by another one, then giving him a different offer than heβs used to. Join the FBI office in Bucharest and help them get info, not much help but something basic, at the end, Will owns them. Will and Nigel donβt meet right away, but when they do thereβs two things that struck one another from each other:
-Will: βHis face will always haunt meβ, so ironic because of the much obvious opposition of similarities from Nigel and Hannibal.
-Nigel: βI never had such empathyβ Nigel will be intrigued of how Wills morale, after Hannibal changed the brunette so much, you can guess what I mean.
At first theyβll barely interact, sometimes only seeing each other in reunions where Will serves drinks or is just a type of βwitnessβ.
The story will keep on and actually dive in on them when Nigel realizes, βholy shit, heβs actually as fucked up and intelligent as meβ. He found another new half.
It really depends on someone on how their story will be, but I feel like this one carries WAYY too much potential.
+ Something I feel like is perceived wrong of them is how Nigelβs jealousy will work, IT WONT BE LIKE THE ONE HE HAD WITH GABI, AT ALL.
And yes, Will finds amusing how similar and drastically different Hannibal and Nigel are, at least the leader wonβt speak with him in metaphors and riddles.
(I also have the headcanon that Will and Darko actually get on pretty well, but Darko respects Will a lot)
(ONYL REPOST ART WITH CREDITS PLEASE, I SPENT 3 DAYS ON THIS)

Coffee?
HENDERY X READER
The cute guy you met at a coffee shop offers to pay for your drink....and your attention.
The autumn breeze stung your face as you pulled your knit scarf closer to your mouth to trap in the warmth of your breath. The leaves made crunching noises as your feet collided with the ground, picking up the wet ones with the soles of your shoes as you walked. Your plaid knit skirt and black shirt weren't any combat against the cold, even with your beige trenchcoat wrapped around you like a blanket. Thankfully, the familiar aroma of your coffee shoppe filled your senses as you got closer and closer to the warmth inside of the building.
With a resounding bell from the top of the door, you made your entrance known with the gust of wind that came with it. Sighing in contempt as you noticed the shoppe was almost entirely empty, you made your way to the counter and removed the scarf from your face to give your order. Your best friend, Doyoung was working the night shift for today and he had complained about how bored he would be since no one would come in. He also complained about being too physically and emotionally exhausted the next day at classes.
"(Y/N)!" He said, placing his fingers on the counter and tapping them in a drumming motion against the slab surface, "What can I getcha?"
You smiled. "The usual."
You watched as he went to busy himself in the back, struggling to get the cups from the top shelf by the sinks. Of course you had ordered a cold drink in cold weather, just when they had put away all the summer cups.
Looking around, you noticed that the couple at the table in the back just made their exit out the front door of the shoppe; the bell ringing once more overhead. They walked towards the edge of the street and waited for the traffic to pass before walking off into the dark distance ahead. Turning back to the counter, you place a two dollar tip in the tip jar and busy yourself with organizing the complementary straws by color.
"What's wrong with the way they were before?"
A deep sounding voice came from behind and startled you slightly. The man who had entered extremely quietly was tall and thin with sharp, angular features that any model or movie star would kill for. He had box dye black hair and earrings that ran all the way up his ears and a nose ring to match. Clad in a black cashmere sweater and dark jeans, he was very beautiful and oh so very close to where you were standing.
"Oh! Uhm, well they seemed to be a bit out of order. The orange ones go in the back and the green in the front." Blushing, you occupy yourself with staring in any direction that he was not in.
He giggled. "Why's that?"
"Well no one would voluntarily go for the orange ones first." You said in retaliation to which he found the funniest statement ever. A couple awkward seconds pass and Doyoung returns with your iced caramel latte in one hand and a napkin in the other. Placing them down in front of you he checks the guy out behind you and you give him a knowing glance.
"Anything else?" He asked you as you fumbled around for your credit card. Suddenly, a hand stops you from behind and a card is handed over to Doyoung before you could seemingly blink.
"I'll get one of those too, please." The man says with a smirk as he pays for the both of your drinks.
"Why, thank you." You walk over to the nearest table and sit down while you watched Doyoung finish processing the stranger's card. Noticing you forgot a straw, you see the man grab two of them- two of the orange ones.
He sits down across from you and the light refracts off of the biggest earring on the right of his ear. His eyes find their way to yours as he smiles once more and hands you an orange straw.
"I figured that we could switch it up a bit and use the ugly straws." He states, holding his hands up in a fake surrender.
You were completely hooked on his persona now, and you knew that all attempt at forgetting him would be futile. He was just too goddamn pretty and too goddamn charismatic.
"I guess I'll let it slide since you did pay for my coffee." You said teasingly, as you worked on removing your hair from the braid it was pulled back in. Your bracelets jangled as your arms moved up to touch the delicately woven hair atop your head and you shook it out back to its full and natural state.
"Garnier?" He asks, stabbing the whipped topping with the straw and taking a long gulp of the gooey coffee tasting goodness. For a split second, you caught a flash of silver on his tongue before his mouth clamped down around the plastic.
"Garnier?" You asked, wondering what he could be referring to.
He smiled once more. "Your hair dye. It's a similar black to mine."
Damn, this boy was good. You nodded and let out a breathy laugh as you remembered the green box you'd picked out last week. The dye was the best for making sure the college dorm bathroom wasn't disgusting by the time you were done. Ryujin would have your head if she saw the caulking of the tiles stained black.
"Yes, it is," you said, watching the drinks disappear between the two of you, "How did you know that?"
He put down his cup and let out a soft exhale as he clapped his hands together in a cute way, watching you from across the table. "So glad you asked! I'm a hairdresser!"
"A hairdresser?" You asked with a blush starting to creep up onto your cheeks. That was cute. The thought of this stranger being paid to run his hands through your hair made your stomach ignite with butterflies.
"Yes!" He said, taking another sip of his coffee. It was just then that you asked him for his name, remembering that you didn't get one upon his first entrance.
"Hendery," He said with a mouth full of cream, "but you can just call me H."
"H? Why H?" You asked.
"Because it sounds edgier that way." He leans back in his booth and puts his arms up against the padding of the seat, trying to look cool and ridiculous at the same time. It looked much more like the latter to you, though.
"You're kidding?"
"Oh, 100%. That would be stupid."
His teeth flashed in your direction once more and you saw the tongue piercing that had been hidden from view. "What's your name?" He asks with a kind tone. He seemed to stop the entire world and focused solely on you. Time seemed to have stopped.
"(Y/N)." You said, intently gazing at his eyes.
"(Y/N)." He repeated, taking your name in like the drag of a cigarette. The word seemed to rest on his tongue like the piercing and then swallow down into the very fiber of his being. It was like a fish on a hook and damn, did he fall for you hook, line, and sinker.
The shared laughter between the two of you filled the entirety of the coffee Shoppe, and Doyoung eventually joined the both of you. He had whipped himself up a hot cocoa and you eyed the amount of whipped cream he had put on the top; sprinkles starting to melt into odd colors and the drink running down the sides of the cup onto the saucer. He totally had a whipped cream mustache above his upper lip and to say that he was enjoying the drink would be an understatement.
Eventually, Hendery had ordered one too and the secret came out that he really didn't like coffee, he had just come in to escape the cold and decided to stay for you. It was sweet and romantic and your heart filled with excitement as adrenaline coursed through your veins. This stranger was so enticing, yet so familiar. He couldn't have been a stranger anymore, however, he had introduced himself.
"Allow me to walk you home?" He motioned for the door as you threw away your cups. You looked back towards Doyoung and saw him motioning a blowjob with his hand in the air. Flipping him off silently, you agree and follow Hendery into the cold night air. It hasn't gotten any warmer, much to your dismay. The skirt seemed entirely ridiculous now as you grasped to hold onto any warmth.
"Hey, Hendery?" You asked, stopping along the sidewalk and looking up at the tall dark haired man. He smiled down on you with his teeth in a dorky manner and pushed away the hair from his eyes.
"Ye-es?" He said, glancing up at the streetlight that shone overhead. It was like a spotlight at a theatre and you were Romeo and Juliet. Just without the death and stuff.
"I-I think I'd like to do this again sometime." You said, reaching for his hand. Taking it from you, he spins you around and you turn in surprise, falling into his chest upon doing a 360.
"I'd like that too." His warm and minty breath fanned over your face and you knew you were done for.
"May I kiss you?"
"Why certainly."
With his lips against yours, you finally understood what people meant when they said they felt fireworks go off in their brains. It was safe and happy between the two of you as you leaned into each other, taking in one another's company. This whole scene was like something out of a movie and you thought back to the time you convinced yourself it wouldn't be possible for love at first sight.
Pulling away, Hendery rested his head against yours. "You taste like coffee." He says, leaning in for another kiss.
"I thought you said you didn't care for coffee?" You asked.
"I very much care for it now."
