joshua is the kind of best friend that acts so boyfriend like he’s even got you questioning what the hell both of you are. let’s talk about it.

like. he knows your order at almost every place you stop for food. always carries scrunchies on his wrists if you need them, and keeps a small polaroid of you in his wallet that he shows off to everyone no matter how many times you roll your eyes in equal parts embarrassment, exasperation, and fondness. and he keeps bandaids next to it because you can be a little clumsy at times.

he eats off your plate if it comes with something you don’t like, will drape himself over you mid conversation and act like he isn’t a distraction while you struggle to focus on anything, and almost never lets you hold anything if he can help it—whether it be books, bags, or doors.

he also likes rushing to open your car door for you, and you’ve learned to let him enjoy it. if the the crestfallen look he’d given you once he realized you’d walked out on your own counted as a lesson. instead, you wait patiently as he jogs over to your side to greet you with a goofy grin and a cheesy after you.

he’s even pretended to be your boyfriend on multiple occasions, from creepy guys at bars not knowing how to take no for an answer to bailing you out of sticky situations entailing prying friends and family. so for all anyone knows, you’re practically a happy couple.

so when a fairly new friend of yours asks if your best friend was single when he leaves your group to order for them all, and your other ones look at you in varying degrees of curiosity, you can’t help but spit out something along the lines of no, he isn’t. you’re only soothed by the smile he reserves for you when he returns, but you can’t help but scowl into your fries as you hear the newbie flirt with him despite your words.

you don’t even know why it’s affecting you so bad. this—whatever you had with him—was making your head spin, and it’s not long before he catches on to your sour mood. (he knows you. your heart aches.) he rattles off an excuse for the both you, sweet in sound, and to your extremely petty and childish delight, smoothly declines the newbie’s number when they slyly offer it to him.

ha.

but he still makes your heart flutter and your stomach sick when he reminds you to buckle in, moving to reverse out of the parking lot before you reach out to stop him. he’s so close, looking at you with the utmost care in the world as his eyes search your for any reason for your discomfort, and your eyes squeeze shut before blurting your heart’s contents.

you’re met with silence for a little more than you expected and your heart sinks sixty feet into the ground. you’ve ruined it for sure. now you’ll have to convince your parents to move away and relocate somewhere unknown and assume a new identity and—

you peek an eye open at the muffled sound of laughter. embarrassment rises tenfold when he looks like he’s been laughing—but he also has the decency to look a little shy himself.

“i did this all backwards, huh.” what?

joshua’s the kind of best friend to show you he loves you rather than tell you, i feel. like a real life prince charming. he knows all your secrets and you know his.

except for the itty bitty one detailing him being in love with you for as long as he could remember. you know, like you should have known all this time.

you’re left staring at him, open mouthed, as he talks about it like you’re discussing something as simple as the weather, and you lean back against the seat winded as you retain the new… information. your silence makes him pause momentarily, hands squeezing yours, and he laughs when you regard him with wide eyes once more.

“you don’t have to say anything or return the feelings just because i’m telling you,” he muses, voice soft as his fingers tracing over your knuckles. “i like being there for you. taking care of you. i do it because i want to, so—don’t think you have to like. force yourself to do anything you don’t want.”

joshua’s so selfless, sometimes, often at the expsense of his own feelings. you can only give him the most exasperated, squinty-eyed look you can muster while your heart still beats the drumline of a death metal song in your chest.

“i like you, too, you idiot!”

“what?!”

Could We Be Lovers?

Mingyu x reader

Best friends to lovers

Warnings: minors dni!, hair pulling, slight sub!Mingyu

Mingyu wants kisses but is too shy to ask. He wants a lot more than that too but let’s just start with kisses.

…

“Mingyu! You better not lose my spot!”

“Mingyu! You better not lose my spot!”

“Mingyu! You better not lose my spot!”

You know he won’t. He’s your best friend, and although he loves to annoy you he also knows you will pummel him if he crosses a line. Last time he lost the page you were on he woke up with purple hair.

Your revenge didn’t work as well as you had hoped because he looked amazing with that color, but still.

Point made.

But you jump, trying to grab the book out of his hands anyways, trying not to smile when he giggles again.

You huff, knowing full well you won’t be able to reach your book when Mingyu is built like a whole tree, so you do what any reasonable person would do.

You shoot forward and push into the backs of his knees, knocking him over.

In the chaos your book falls to the side. There’s a mad scramble to reach the book first.

You’re pushing Mingyu’s head sideways, he’s pulling on your shirt sleeve sliding you backwards, you’re tripping him again as he tries to stand up, elbows are thrown.

Somehow it ends up with you sitting on top of him, victorious, book in hand, laughing gleefully at Mingyu’s failure.

You’re both breathing heavily, laughing and out of breath.

Then you realize how close yours and Mingyu’s faces are together. And you glance down at his lips, and suddenly it feels like the atmosphere changes. It’s charged with something you’re afraid to name. This is your best friend.

But Mingyu is looking at you too, and you think fuck it.

You lean in and press your lips to his, feeling fireworks when he immediately kisses back, his hands pulling you down closer to him.

Mingyu kisses like he’s going to lose you. He’s desperate and almost sloppy, leaving open mouthed kisses on any exposed skin he can reach.

You pull on his hair accidentally as you move and he moans, eyes rolling back into his head.

The next time you pull his hair it is decidedly not an accident.

He looks so gorgeous like this and you have no idea why you didn’t realize your feelings sooner. You could have been doing this so much sooner, you think as Mingyu lets out another beautiful whine beneath you.

bi!Minghao x bi!gn!reader

A/n: This was like a fever dream it all came to me at once nO JUDGEMENT PLS. *waves to my 6 followers* hey gang wass poppin hope ur having a lovely night ♡

…

You’re Joshua’s friend and Minghao comes to LA with him.

Except it’s all orchestrated by Joshua because he thinks you two will be perfect together

You pick them up from the airport.

In this scenario Minghao is like bi?

So Shua is like oh let me introduce you to all of my gay friends? That being uhhhhh. Just you. But still.

Joshua thought it would be nice! For him to have lgbt friends! Or whatever! That’s what you told him when you needed when you came out anyways! And he’s in way over his head right now and not good at giving advice about being gay but you are!

So you all go shopping and you and Minghao are giggling together and making Shua try on the weirdest shit you can find but also you find some really nice stuff that Hao really feels good in.

So you all go shopping and you and Minghao are giggling together and making Shua try on the weirdest shit you can find but also you find some really nice stuff that Hao really feels good in.

So you all go shopping and you and Minghao are giggling together and making Shua try on the weirdest shit you can find but also you find some really nice stuff that Hao really feels good in.

So many photos are taken. So many.

And you’re all staying in a hotel for some reason but Joshua “falls asleep early” so that you and Minghao stay up late on the other bed talking and laughing and chatting and then falling asleep and somehow~ ending up asleep with Minghao in your arms.

And Minghao clings in his sleep so there’s no escaping, not that you particularly wanted to. It’s sweet how his head ends up on your chest, cuddled in close.

Minghao doesn’t wake up blushing in the morning, just like you don’t pretend to still be asleep so as not to embarrass him.

And Shua definitely doesn’t have photos of the two of you snuggling before either of you woke up.

Nothing to see here.

…

And then oops Shua has an earlier flight than Minghao by a day??? Oh nooooo guess you and Hao have some heart to heart he realizes he’s falling in love with someone he just met? And is leaving in a day? Fuck!

Lucky for both of you, you’re both falling in love and it’s very cliche and cute and leads to you both confessing at the same time.

“No you go first,”

“No it’s okay you can go first.”

“No really, you can go first.”

Idiots (affectionate)

“I um really like you. AndIknowI’mabouttoleavebut I just needed you to know because you’re amazing and I don’t want to regret saying nothing if there’s a chance you feel something too?” Minghao’s ears are bright red at this point. He wishes the floor would disappear beneath him as he waits for you to respond.

Because you’re staring at him open mouthed saying nothing at the moment.

“Well I was about to say pretty much the same thing to you Hao so this works out great.” You joke, but you feel your own cheeks warm.

“So um, what happens now?” Hao has a hopeful look on his face, like he can’t quite believe it’s true.

“Can I kiss you now?”

If possible, Minghao’s cheeks grow redder.

“We don’t have to! Sorry I don’t want to rush you at all if-“

“No!” Minghao interrupts, “I mean! I want to. I want you to, um, kiss me.”

You smile again and loop an arm around his slim waist, pulling him closer to you. “You’re sure?”

He nods his head vigorously, and you giggle.

Tentatively, your lips touch. Then again, and again. They’re soft, chaste kisses, but somehow your stomach feels alight with butterflies.

You see Minghao’s eyes flutter shut as you move one hand to cup his jaw, gently angling his face to give you access to his neck, and leaving light kisses there as well.

Minghao let’s out a sound somewhere between a squeak and a moan, and you pull away suddenly. “Is that too much? I can stop.”

“No! No it’s not that! Sorry I’m messing this up so badly.”

“Hao.” You whisper, waiting for him to meet your eyes again. “You’re not messing anything up, I promise. Just tell me what’s up- did I do something you didn’t like?”

“No it’s not that! I just don’t really ah, know what I’m doing? I guess? I feel like that’s embarrassing.”

You smile, “Hao that’s completely fine, let’s just do what feels good, okay?”

He nods again.

“Do you want to keep kissing?”

He nods some more.

“Words, darling. I need to hear it.”

“Yes! Yes please.”

You pull him back in by his shirt collar and press a searing kiss to his lips. Minghao responds in kind, his hands moving up your thighs, angling his head to kiss you more deeply.

…

When you check your phone several hours of cuddling and kissing later, you see a text from Joshua.

IF Y’ALL HAVENT CONFESSED BY THE TIME I GET OFF THIS FLIGHT

I’M FLYING BACK AND FIGHTING YOU BOTH

KISS ALREADY

You snort, of course Joshua could see right through the both of you. You turn to show Minghao the texts, only to see his eyes have closed and his breathing evened.

Instead, you snap a photo of the two of you cuddled like this and send it over to Shua, typing;

You were right

Joshua responds almost immediately with the crying emoji

Joshua: THEY GROW UP SO FAST

You: Shua literally stfu

Joshua: MATCHMAKER TITLE GOES TO ME

You: You’re so obnoxious I’m blocking you

Joshua: after ALL THE WORK IVE DONE SMH FAKE FRIENDS

You: Love u

You lock your phone, placing it back on the bedside table, and leaning over to shut off the lamp.

The room becomes dark, and you slide in close to Minghao, savoring the smell of his shampoo, his soft pullover, just him. You wrap your arm around his middle and begin to drift off too, feeling happier than you had in a long time.

Paris by Candlelight

Vernon x reader

…

Two ships, passing in the night. Realistically, you should have never met. The odds were farther out than one in a million.

But you did meet.

And then by some cosmic planet-aligning chance you meet again, exactly two years later.

Does he still recognize you?

…

Vernon doesn’t believe in fate, as a principle. Things will happen and it’s not based on some cosmic Greater Purpose or something ridiculous like that. It’s just life and things happen or they don’t.

But seeing you again, he suddenly feels like there could be no other explanation than fate.

Why were you here? Why today of all days?

His mind is running a thousand different directions, he has so many things he wants to ask you but at the same time no words that will make sense of his feelings.

He can hear Joshua at his side saying something to him, but it’s background noise like the street traffic.

How are you here?

Dancing in the Rain

Mingyu x reader

…

Mingyu IS a romantic at heart and just wants to do cheesy cute couple things like dancing in the rain!

The perfect opportunity arrives… partway into your second date together. What began as a sunny picnic on a hill turned into a rainstorm within the first twenty minutes of you both being there, but instead of running for cover Mingyu pulls you to him and begs you to dance with him.

And when he’s smiling at you with his eyes full of (love?) you feel your heart swell and take his hand, letting him lead you in a dance to music only the two of you can hear.

This is a terrible idea, you think to yourself, but you can’t stop it.

The hazy look in his eyes as you kiss him again and again and again.

The hazy look in his eyes as you kiss him again and again and again.

The hazy look in his eyes as you kiss him again and again and again.

The soft moans he makes, the way he gasps when you spread his thighs apart for better access.

You know that it’s all temporary, but you don’t stop.

Just for this night he can be yours.

BFFs In Love

Seungkwan x Hansol

…

…

The fact that Seungkwan and Vernon 100% had no clue they were into each other is just on brand.

Clueless bros™ living their best lives thinking, “Ah yes this is how all best friends feel.”

Wanting to spend the rest of your life together with your bro?

Yeah he’s great to hang out with and understands the pressures of being an idol because he also faces them.

Calling each other beautiful?

It’s objectively true! Can’t a guy hype up his bff?

Cuddling together?

It’s normal and it’s not like he’s the Only person each other will cuddle.

It is who they want to be cuddling the most though…

Meeting each other’s parents?

That’s normal best friends stuff.

The knowing looks your parents give each other when the pair interact? Uhh

Don’t think about it too deeply.

Wanting to kiss ur bro on the mouth?

Stfu don’t speak to me do not comment.

Seungkwan is straight s t r a i g h t and don’t even think he’s not!

Except for that one time he accidentally walked in on Vernon changing and blushed bright red and slammed the door shut again. That’s a totally normal reaction to have! Even if he’s seen him in various states of undress dozens of times doing outfit changes for concerts.

And Vernon is 100% straight!

Except that one time he had a weird dream where Seungkwan kissed him and now he can’t stop looking at Seungkwan’s lips and wondering.

And that one time Seungkwan was a little tipsy and kissed Vernon on the cheek when he helped him back into the dorm.

Or the time Vernon went in for a hug and their lips accidentally brushed when Vernon leaned in to say something. Total accident.

Anyways isn’t it great being straight and not in love with your best friend who is also straight. Verkwan going strong 💪

Business Venture

Mingyu x gn reader

…

It’s all in the name of sealing a deal for your company, right?

The fancy dinner at a restaurant way outside of anything you could afford on your own, the copious amounts of wine, the banter between you and Mingyu. It’s all to arrange an advantageous deal for your company, binding them together. Nothing more.

That’s what you tell yourself at least.

Of course Mingyu is attractive but this is strictly business. You can control yourself, you don’t throw yourself at every handsome man you come across. This is totally fine.

The excuse is already paper thin, but inviting Mingyu back to your hotel room?

Taking your jacket off and his fingers grazing down your shoulders.

Taking your jacket off and his fingers grazing down your shoulders.

Taking your jacket off and his fingers grazing down your shoulders.

Brushing your hair back from your eyes.

He couldn’t stop staring at your lips.

It made you feel confident, reckless.

So you invite him back to your hotel, giggly and warm when his lips find yours the moment the lock of your door clicks into place.

His hands on your hips pull you close to him, sliding lower until they reach your thighs and picking you up effortlessly, all without his lips leaving yours.

Your hands are exploring, unbottoning his collar to run your hands along his throat, down his chest. You can feel how it affects him, his body shuddering with every caress.

When he sets you down on the bed, and more clothes disappear, you find yourself hoping this moment can last forever. No complicated issues making this impossible for you and Mingyu to continue, no tomorrow. Just here and now, Mingyu pressing kisses along your sternum and lower, eyes dark as he looks up at you through his lashes.

Prose? About Wonwoo’s love for you

Wonwoo x reader

…

The two of you slowdance, the warm summer rain hardly even noticed by the pair of you as you sway.

When you look into his eyes, you see nothing but love there for you.

His hands are warm around your waist, holding you close.

You reach one hand up gently to cup his cheek, and pull him to you for a kiss.

Forever doesn’t seem like long enough with someone like Wonwoo at your side.

Forever doesn’t seem like long enough with someone like Wonwoo at your side.

Forever doesn’t seem like long enough with someone like Wonwoo at your side.

You breathe in, focusing back on the moment, on Wonwoo’s arms wrapped around you, on your head laid gently against his chest, and his faint heartbeat you can hear.

“I love you too, Wonu.” you whisper.

…

Wonwoo’s love for you is gentle and soft, like summer rains.

Hold Me Tight

Junhui x Jisoo

Every Ship Ever Challenge M.List

...

Jun has nightmares and Jisoo is the one who can calm him down.

...

Jun was snuggled up against Jisoo’s side, Jisoo’s arms wrapped loosely around his middle as he mindlessly hummed a tune.

Jun had been having nightmares again.

Jisoo had forced Jun to promise to come wake him up every time he got them; he didn’t want Jun suffering alone. Lately though, they had been becoming more and more frequent. It worries Jisoo a lot, not having any idea what could be causing them. 

Jisoo knows better than to pry though.

Jun had always been, at least with his more personal thoughts, very reserved. Anyone else would think Jun is a very loud person, which he is, but beneath that… it is very hard to get close to him. That loudness is a bit like a shield, to keep people away from asking questions.

Jisoo was the glaring exception to this rule.

For some reason not entirely known even to Jisoo himself, Jun had let him in. Jun had confided much with Jisoo, maybe because Jun knew that Jisoo would never push him for more than he was willing to share. That included not wanting to speak about the nightmares that would have Jun running down the hall and right to Jisoo’s bunk, crawling in next to him before the elder is even fully awake yet.

Jisoo has seen the affect the nightmares are having on Jun over an extended period of time, making the bags under Jun’s eyes darker and stealing what little sleep he might have been able to manage after long schedules.

Eventually Jisoo just told Jun to start sleeping in the same bed with him, half the time they ended up in the same bed half way through the night anyways.

Jisoo always holds tight to Jun, cuddling him in close and running gentle hands through his hair to calm him. Because there was nothing Jisoo could really do to stop the nightmares, all he could manage is making Jun feel safe enough to try to sleep again.

So that’s what he did.

[rainbow-carat]

Let’s Get Lost

Jisoo x Junhui

Every Ship Ever Challenge M.List

...

Junhui likes Jisoo, but it's complicated. (Except it's really not).

...

Junhui had picked up a habit, he wasn’t entirely sure when, of watching Jisoo. Not in a creepy way, though, he swears.

...okay maybe it was in a creepy way.

But Junhui had no idea how to stop it. There was something mesmerising in Jisoo’s smile, and it nearly blinded Junhui every time it was directed towards him.

Wen Junhui doesn’t blush.

He doesn’t.

But Jisoo seems to already be breaking down every rule Junhui has made for himself, so what’s one more?

Minghao teases him all the time about it.

Because Minghao is an asshole.

Junhui noticed everything about Jisoo, except the way Jisoo was staring back.

“Honestly Jun, staring holes in the back of his head isn’t going to make Jisoo suck your dick any sooner.” Minghao comments offhandedly, passing right next to Junhui to reach his water bottle. Minghao had said this in Mandarin, but Junhui still blushed and peeked back at Jisoo, worried he might somehow have understood.

Junhui scowls at Minghao. “Why do you say things like that?”

Minghao smirks. “What, it’s not like it isn’t true. I’m surprised no one else has noticed you undressing him with your eyes every half second.”

Junhui’s mouth pops open in shock. “I do not!”

Minghao raises his hands in surrender. “You know what? You’re right, you’re right. You spend half the time undressing him with your eyes and the other half of the time just staring at his ass.”

“I don’t-”

“Don’t try to pull that shit with me, you literally admitted it to me the last time we both got drunk. ‘Oh my god, Jisoo just has the most perfect ass.’” Minghao says dramatically, poorly attempting to imitate Junhui’s voice.

Junhui reaches over to smack Minghao on the shoulder. “I never said that.”

Except he probably had. Drunk Junhui was known to have no filter whatsoever.

“No? Hmm so you wouldn’t mind if I go ask him out?” Minghao tilts his head innocently.

“Minghao I swear to god, why are we friends. And you don’t even know if Jisoo is gay, Jesus.”

“He’s pan, actually. Hyung and I talked a lot when I was trying to figure my own shit out.” Minghao shrugs nonchalantly.

“Wait, you guys are close? Since when?” Junhui isn’t jealous. He isn’t.

“Yeah, dummy. Which you would notice if you didn’t spend so much time staring and actually went and talked to Jisoo outside of rehearsals? Duh?”

“You’re so mean to me all the time, just let me suffer in peace.” Junhui whines, a pout on his lips.

“I’m honest, babe. And you’re just in denial. You know you love me.”

Junhui huffs.

“And you also love Jisooooo.” Minghao sings, cut off suddenly when Junhui claps a hand over his mouth.

“That’s quite enough, thank you.”

“Hey Minghao, Junhui.” Jisoo appears out of nowhere, and Junhui almost shrieks out loud.

Minghao twists out of Junhui’s grip. “Oh hey Jisoo! Junhui actually wanted to talk to you about something, awesome timing.” Then Minghao practically flounces away, a smug smile on his lips.

Junhui is cursing him out in his head.

Jisoo turns to look at Junhui curiously. “What did you want to talk about?”

“Oh! Um, nothing. Minghao was just, uh, making fun of me, yeah that’s, yeah.”

Jisoo smiles gently. “Oh, what were you two talking about?”

“Nothing really, we were just joking around?” Junhui says, but it trails off at the end and ends up sounding more like a question.

“Oh, so you two weren’t talking about how often you’re staring at my ass then?” Jisoo asks so casually that for a second it literally flies right over Junhui’s head that Jisoo had said that Entirely In Mandarin.

“Oh. My fucking God. Please just kill me now. Did you actually hear all of that?” Junhui whispers.

“Minghao has been teaching me more Mandarin, I’m pretty good right?” Jisoo asks innocently, but he’s also taken a step forward, crowding into Junhui’s space.

Junhui looks around the rest of the studio, but everyone else must have cleared out at some point earlier because now he and Jisoo are the only two left. And with the way Jisoo is looking at him.. Yeah that was probably a good thing.

“Minghao told you-”

“Minghao didn’t have to tell me. I’ve seen the way you look at me, Jun.”

“Then why did you never.. I didn’t realize..”

Jisoo is directly in front of him now, pressing Junhui back against the mirrors.

“I was waiting for you to admit it. You’re so shy around me though, it’s adorable.” The look in Jisoo’s eyes is hungry, and Junhui has to keep himself from moaning at that alone.

Jisoo backs up just a touch, to look Junhui in the eyes clearly. “Do you want this?” There’s a hand snaked just barely under the hem of Junhui’s shirt, the other resting lightly over Junhui’s belt.

Junhui nods quickly.

“With your words, Jun.” Jisoo says again, and Junhui can’t help the small moan that escapes his lips then.

“Yes, please, please.” Junhui whines. He can feel a blush high on his cheeks but he is past the point of caring about it.

The hand at Junhui’s belt tightens. “Good.”

Maybe Minghao isn’t such an asshole.
