Little delights from my day

that post I reblogged yesterday (4/9/24) where you tagged the little positive delights from your day.... I feel like that might be a fun challenge to do every day, or as many days as I can remember. I almost never stop to think about those things, and I do think it might be nice to look back on and read every once in a while. So that I don't bother everyone with this daily quest, I'm going to just update this post every day with a new bullet point (under a cut), and I'll link this post in my pinned post. If that makes sense.

WRITTEN BIT BABEY :)

you leave the room with a heavy weight sitting on your heart that is only amplified by the serious look on kenma’s face. you ignore it in favor of turning on the tv and going to disney+, queuing up the original mulan knowing how into the story hinata would get. still refusing to face your friend, you move to the kitchen digging around the cabinets to find snacks.

“yn,” the sound of your name jolts you out of your focus even though you were expecting it. “can we please talk?”

it feels like the air has been sucked out of the room, the only thing remaining being a heavy blanket of tension draping over the two of you. when you chance a look at kenma, you’re taken aback by the unreadable look on his face--it's overwhelming and you have to take a step back.

you turn away from him, unable to look for long without your mind racing and heart clenching with unknown guilt. a hand gently touches your shoulder, the feeling sending a shock of discomfort down your spine.

"we need to talk about kuroo," kenma starts, his golden eyes desperately searching for your own but you refuse to make eye contact, too afraid of what his expression might hold. when you don't move to face him, kenma sighs and moves somewhere behind you. the sound of a barstool scraping against the tiled floors alerts you that he's probably sitting down which signals a long and emotion-packed conversation.

"he texted me today." the relatively innocent statement is weighed down by the many implications behind it. your mind begins to race--what could that even mean? did he talk about you? your childhood? what he had done to you and more importantly, why? "what did you guys talk about?" the question is out of your mouth before you can stop it, desperation creeping into the edges of your voice.

you finally, finally, shift to face him, mentally steeling yourself for the upbringing of things you'd much rather forget.

"he's playing with you yn. you know it, i know it, he knows it. you need to separate yourself from him," kenma says, his voice monotone and soft. "i-i love you, you know that right?" you nod but remain tight-lipped, allowing your best friend to finish his piece.

"i know you think he's changed but some people never do. i just- i wouldn't be able to live with myself if i didn't say anything and let him hurt you like before." he lets out a deep breath and runs his hands through his almost entirely brown hair. something glints under the soft kitchen lights and you recognize it as the bracelet you'd bought him back in your first year of high school. you smile to yourself, not noticing the look of admiration in his eyes and the soft smile gracing his lips.

the sound of a door opening startles the both of you from your silent reverie, your eyes trailing to the hallway where hinata stands bundled up in four blankets and looking absolutely miserable. "oh shō," you whisper, his puffy eyes already welling up with tears.

kenma moves faster than you, kindly (well as kind as kenma can be) moving the hinata burrito to the couch with you following closely behind. you plop yourself down right next to the redhead, his body coming to rest in your lap. you can't help but lean down and press a kiss to his forehead, running your fingers through his orange locks.

"w-what were y-you guys talking a-about?" shōyō asks, his voice watery and thick with tears. you shake your head at his question, not wanting to bog him down with depressing tales about one of his friends. "nothing baby, nothing. how are you feeling? do you need anything? water, snacks?" your fingers never leave his head, even when he turns to look at you frustratedly, his cheeks puffing in annoyance.

"i want you to tell me what you guys were talking about," he orders, fumbling his body burrito until he's sitting upright between you and kenma. "i'm not a baby, y'know."

kenma barks out a laugh, leaning over to ruffle hinata's hair. "says the one who's been crying all day," hinata giggles at the contact before kenma adds, "baby." you grin as hinata tries to force a pout on his face but it doesn't work, a small smile worming its way there instead.

"we can talk about it later, hm?" you say as you stand before moving to the kitchen to get snacks. hinata nods and snuggles into kenma's arms while mulan begins to play in the background. you're quick to join them, handing a bag of chips to kenma while shō presses a kiss to your cheek before settling in to watch the movie.

------

turns out the later was much later--you'd gotten through all of mulan, frozen one and two, and half of moana before hinata tried to bring kuroo up again.

"shō, you really don't want to hear about it," you groan while cleaning up the kitchen, carefully evading hinata as he follows close behind. "but you promised," he whines, finally grabbing hold of you and resting his head on your shoulder. kenma pops his head from around the corner with a mouthful of pocky's and shakes his head before speaking up. "you should tell him--he deserves to know why you transfered to karasuno in our third year."

you roll your eyes before bopping hinata on the forehead, sending him to the ground with a moan. "fine but if i'm going to be forced to relive the hell that was my high school years, i'm gonna do it over text." with that, you playfully stomp back over to the couch, bringing out your phone and lying down, determined to get this conversation over with as fast as possible.

Sun and Moon x Reader Chapter Thirty One

                                      Y/n P.O.V

I slowly follow Moon with my gaze as he gathers the children up for nap time. I watch as he places the mats down and bundles up the children into little burritos. He looks down at them satisfied with his work then comes over to turn off the lights. As soon as the lights turn off I hide under the desk with a flashlight. He approaches the desk and leans down next to me.

"Hey starlight. Is everything alright?" I nod in response, not able to look at him. I curl up tighter in a little ball.

"If you say so, but if you need me I'll be over here with the kids." I look up at Moon, watching him walk away. I reach my hand out to grab his but retract it quickly not wanting to burden him further. I lay down and fall asleep under the desk. Soon after I am woken up by Moon shaking me gently. I bolt up and push him away.

"What's going on-" I say. He stares at me shocked and hurt by my actions.

"You were screaming in your sleep. You woke everyone up" he says looking away from my direction.

"Hey Moonie can I just spend the rest of the day in your room please."I say quietly. He nods sadly.

"But I'm going to ask you why later."

"I won't guarantee a response." he sighs, picking me up, he puts the wire on his back and lifts us to his room. He sets me down on the bed.

"Thanks Moon.." He sighs and leaves the room. I curl into the bed and wrap a blanket around myself tightly, falling asleep quickly after.

About an hour and a half later I wake up. Moon is sitting next to me with his arms crossed.

"So am I going to get any answers?" I shake my head in response.

"But I waited and didn't even wake you up. Y/n, did I do something wrong to hurt you?" I snap my head in his direction.

"What no no no!! Of course not!! You haven't done anything wrong. It's all just me- I promise! It's nothing you need to worry about.." I say quietly. Moon looks me in the eyes.

"But I'm always worried about you. All I want from you is for you to communicate with me but you never do." His eyes show how disheartened he is.

"I'm sorry I don't do enough, I really am." I feel the tears prick at the corner of my eyes.

"I wanna do my best for you guys but it's so hard and there's only so much I can do- I'm trying really hard, I promise." The tears roll down my face. He lifts his hand and approaches my face

"I'll do better I promise" I say, flinching from his sudden movement.

"Well, you probably want to be left alone." He says while standing up.

"NO!" I yell, clinging to his arm. "Please don't leave me- I-I need you!"

"Alright, just calm down. Okay?" The tears start flowing down my face as I sob onto him. He pulls me close, holding me to his chest. "It's alright. Let it out, love."

After ten minutes of nonstop crying, I loosen my grip on Moon.

"Thank you Moonie. I needed that." He pulls out some water and hands it to me.

"Here. I know you need it after all that." He taps the bottle on my chest.

"I'm fine, I don't need it." I push his hand away.

"Drink it now." He said with a slightly more aggravated

"Okay okay. Mleeeh" I say sticking my tongue out at him. I take the bottle from him and take small sips.

"More. Drink more." He says sternly.

"I'm working on it, okay? It kinda hurts to swallow."

"Awww, why does your throat hurt?" He teases.

"...."

"What happened?"

"I had a.. mishap... with one of the employees.."

"What kind of mishap?"

"Okay- all better now time- to leave!" I say attempting to leave the room when he puts a hand gently on my shoulder. I wince at the sudden pressure on my shoulder.

"Ah ah ah, what actually happened?" He stares at me, grip firm on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry.. I don't want to talk about it." I reply, tearing

"Starlight-" He starts.

"If you're gonna do a scan do a scan but please just let me rest." I cut him off quickly.

"Okay. Where do you wanna rest?" He asks calmly.

"Can we rest in Sleepy Corner?" He nods, picking me up gently, taking us to  Sleepy-bye Corner. He sets me on top of him, placing a blanket over us. He wraps his arms around me, gently kissing me on the head.

"I love you so much, starlight." He whispers to me.

"Yeah. I love you too." I strain holding in a whine.

                                        Time skip

It's closing time for the daycare so I help check all the kids out quickly. After doing so I leave to go to the dorms quickly but someone grabs my shoulder.

"Um- excuse me. The coin box machine thing isn't working. Come fix it. I know you're part of the staff." A rude woman says at me.

"Sorry, Ma'am, that's not something I am trained in. I'm just a daycare attendant." I say walking away from them but I then feel a hand grab my wrist trying to take me to the machine. I rip my hand from hers and try to walk away but she immediately whips around and grabs me by the hood.

"Ma'am- hrk-" she starts pulling me to the location.

"This lovely young man told me I'd be able to find someone in the daycare, really was a sweetheart, and no one else was willing to help. Such a shame." I am being dragged by this lady thinking to myself.

'What is going on??? Why can't I move? I need to get out of this. I don't feel good about this. Please just move.' I listen as she continues rambling.

"I should give him a good review. What was his name again??... David?" At that moment I snap and pull myself away from this lady and run as quickly as possible. I lose her after a while and head to the dorm. As soon as I enter I go straight to the bed and sleep.

                                   ✨Time skip✨

I get up at 4:00am groggily in a cold sweat. I head into the bathroom and splash water into my face making sure I look awake. After that I put a cold cloth to my eyes to make sure any puffiness from any crying has gone away. I sigh looking at myself thinking about how pathetic I look.

"Off to the daycare I go." I head over to it dragging my feet thinking about all the different scenarios going through my head, what to answer if they ask me anything about what's wrong. I make it to the doors and open them, making it over to sit against the security desk.

"Ughhhhhhh... I'm so tired." I whine to myself. I lay down on the padded floor and close my eyes resting them. After a bit of laying down I hear something approach me

"Moon I'm not in the mood for you to lecture me right now." The person grabs me and spins me around. I quickly open my eyes and push the person off of me.

"GET OFF!!" I shriek, falling hard onto my back.

"Sunshine- you sound awful.." I gasp for a second on the floor trying to collect the wind I knocked out of myself.

"Oh, Sunny, it's been a while. Where were you?" I say looking up at him. He looks away distressed.

"I don't want to talk about it." He says hugging himself.

"But I want to hear everything that has been up with you. I've missed you so much." I sit myself up slowly, my back aching.

"Hey Sunny, do you know who Eclipse is?" He gives me a sudden look of uncertainty.

"Why do you ask?" He asks with uncharacteristic sternness.

"Well he just kind of appeared and I don't know him but he acts like he knows me."

"What do you mean "you don't know him"?? You met him like two weeks ago." He gives me a look of worry.

[luca-moreno]

Look. Marie is probably gonna have my balls for this but listen. I'm going to say the thing everyone else is thinking but doesn't have the guts to say. Think of it as 'tough love' if that helps at all. Okay. Here we go.

Kiss him. Or shut the fuck up.

-sincerely the Berlin collective

(helpimsosorry) (thisisahotmess) (justlikeLuca) (alsolong) (sorry) -- Thurman and Braun eye Luca, currently wrapped up like a burrito on the floor of the observation lounge. Thurman nudges him gently with his boot. “You alright in there, Moreno?”

“Lemme alone,” comes the muffled response. “I’m dying.”

They look over at Harris and Davis, perched together on the couch while the stars swirl outside. They wear matching raised eyebrows but it’s Braun that asks in a lowered tone, “What’s wrong with him?”

Harris doesn’t bother to look up from the datapad she holds in her hand or the obnoxiously loud Blasto game she’s playing. Davis leans over her shoulder, offering advice that Harris steadfastly ignores. 

“He’s freaking out about the thing again,” she shrugs.

“The thing?”

“The thing.” 

“Oh.” Braun nods sagely then exchanges a confused glance with Thurman.

“What’s the thing?”

Harris pauses the game to look up and Davis snatches the pad out of her hands. “Wait. So you guys haven’t heard?”

“Heard what? The commander’s had us running drills for the past twelve hours. Where the fuck were you two on it, by the way?” 

“Oh my god,” Davis grabs Harris’s arm then cackles before returning to the game. “They don’t know.”

“Nope.”

Thurman rubs the back of his neck and squints, suddenly uneasy. “Not the…”

“No! Not the… other thing. This is the phoenix thing.”

“Oh.” Thurman walks away, immediately bored. 

Braun, however, leans his big frame closer. Blue eyes sparkle curiously. “What phoenix thing?”

The Blasto game starts up again and Harris snarls in exasperation, then half clambers over Davis to reach it. “Will you shut that thing off?”

“I’m dying,” comes another muffled moan from the floor that everyone ignores. “In case anyone cares.”

Braun reaches down to pluck the datapad from between the two squabbling girls and lifts it out of their reach. Harris snarls. “Hey!”

“Braun, give it back!”

“Someone tell me what’s going on. Why does Luca think he’s dying?”

“Hurricane planted one on him then ghosted,” Davis informs him helpfully. “He’s been lying on the floor crying about it for two days.”

“Boo fucking hoo,” Harris bitches, crossing her arms tight across her chest and pouts dramatically. “’A phoenix kissed me.’ We should all be so lucky.”

“Or not,” Thurman mutters from the doorway. 

Braun slowly lowers his arm, but Harris isn’t satisfied with that and half climbs up him to reach the datapad he’s holding hostage instead. “Ah. That thing.”

“Yeah. That thing.”

There’s another moan from the floor.

-- 

Isaac knows it’s going to be bad when Davis shows up on the doorstep to his quarters and deposits Luca into his care with an eye roll and not a single word.

He leads Luca, burrito blanket and all, towards the couch.

“Luca,” Eva sits up quickly, tucking her book away. “Are you sick?”

“I’m dying,” Luca mumbles as Isaac plants a hand on one shoulder and guides him down onto the couch. He tries to catch Eva’s eye as Luca flops face first down onto the cushions.

“Do I need to call Dr Lyons?” he asks carefully.

Luca’s is reply is muffled and pathetic. “No.” A pause, then. “Two doors.”

Eva’s lips twitch as Isaac visibly relaxes and he sighs inwardly, thinking of the quiet evening he was hoping to have and the shower still calling his name after a long, dragging shift in the CIC. But he’ll always make time for Luca.

“Do you want to talk about it, son?”

There’s another heavy sigh from the blanket. “No.”

Isaac waits a beat for Luca to say more but when it’s clear he’s not going to, he clears his throat lightly. He’d put credits down that this has something to do with Phoenix Roosevelt and Luca’s very obvious, and possibly unrequited crush. Where did this fall in the handbook? He wonders briefly to himself if he’s not above getting Miller to handle it. 

And he would, if it wasn’t Luca.

Eva touches his hand and motions her head towards the shower. I’ve got this, she mouths. He doesn’t take his eyes off her.

“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it, Luc?” he tries one more time. 

A pathetic moan is the only response he gets and Eva hides her silent laugh behind her hand. “Go,” she says softly. “I’ll talk to him.”

Isaac glances between the prone shape beside her and his private, glorious bathroom and decides since there’s no immediate danger, he’s within his rights to take Eva up on her offer.  

Plus, Eva will get more out of him anyway.

“Alright,” he nods gratefully then offers Luca a conciliatory pat on the shoulder as he slips away.

--

Eva brushes a hand over Luca’s curls and mentally counts to ten, except that she only gets to three before Luca is rolling over and suddenly pulling himself upright. 

The blanket pools around him and his hair sticks up in wild disarray around his face. 

“Okay. I lied. I’m not dying and I do want to talk about it.”

Eva nods. “Alright.” ”Uh. So you know that thing… that I told you about… that happened?”

“The thing?”

“Yes,” Luca half glares at her, wondering if she’s teasing him. She is, just a little, but only because Luca’s angst over a simple meeting of mouths was a delightful distraction from her own worries. ”The thing.”

“Ah,” Eva says knowingly, her lips twitching. “The thing being the kiss. With a capital K… With Ben.” 

Luca’s mouth works silently for a moment before he groans and slumps backwards. 

“The Kiss. Yes. Well, I mean… I think it was a kiss. There was a definite-“ Luca closes his eyes and puckers his lips dramatically before moving on, “-but I don’t know. I mean… We were working out, he was trying to teach me stuff but then we fell and I thought... well, maybe I was dreaming, like maybe I had slapped myself with the staff and I didn’t realise it? Or maybe I hit him too hard and I rattled his brain and he didn’t really know what he was doing... Or, maybe it was just an accident-“ 

“You think he might have accidently kissed you?”

“Why not? It happens!” He eyes her shrewdly then. “Right?” 

“I wouldn’t know,” she says carefully and Luca pauses to snort ungracefully before continuing. 

“The point is,” he goes on, getting really warmed up now. “It must have been bad, right? The kiss? I mean, he charged away. Like… an actual charge, Eva. Biotics and all, he was that keen to get away from me. Just. Poof. Gone. I’m surprised my eyebrows didn’t get singed-“ 

Eva laughs. “You know it doesn’t work like that, Luca.” 

“Shh, not important,” he waves that pesky fact away dismissively but then he falters and gives her a mock growl. “– and stop. I’m trying to have a moment here, and you’re ruining my dramatical meltdown.”

That causes her to muffle her laughter into a cushion she’s forced to snatch up from the couch. One of the pretty sparkly ones she had eyed off on Asteria and Isaac had bought behind her back to surprise her.

“I’m sorry,” she says formally as she schools her face into something suitably serious and lowers the cushion to her lap. “– please, Luca. Continue.”

He huffs. “Well. No. Now I’ve lost my place. Thanks a lot, I was really working up to something there.”

“The kiss?” she prompts, trying not to laugh again.

“OH SWEET KHALAHIRA, THE KISS.” 

He spins, then flops dramatically down beside her. “Eva,” he whines her name like a toddler begging for a treat. It’s enough to make her sigh. “What do I do?”

“Maybe you could... Hmm. I don't know... No. It’s too crazy. You wouldn’t want to know about it.”

“What? What is it? Is it another one of your funky breathing techniques? Some asari thing? Can it read minds?!”

“Well, it’s very complicated. But it just might help you.”

“What?! Tell me. Eva!”

“.... you could try talking to him.”

Luca is aghast and horrified all at once. “NO?? Why would I do that?”

“It has to be better than…” she waves a hand and eyes him critically. “Whatever this is.”

“A crisis, Eva. This is a crisis. Of epic proportions. On a scale of one to reapers this is.. I dunno, what's worse than reapers trying to wipe out the entirety of galactic civilization?” 

Eva doesn't want to think about that last part. “Well, I think it’s sort of sweet if you ask me," she says instead. "Ben’s nice. He’s not at all what I expected. And he obviously cares about you. Why else would he be trying to hit you with a stick to make you better in combat?”

Luca makes a strangled sound halfway between a snort and a cackle. “He just doesn’t want to have to carry me back to the LZ over his shoulder when a dragoon gets me. I bet he could too.”

Eva has to bite the inside of her cheek not to laugh at Luca’s dreamy expression. “I’m sure he wouldn’t even break a sweat.”

Luca seems tremendously interested in that mental image for a few seconds before he falls back into his funk. He tucks himself in against her and she can sense he’s working up to something entirely new. 

“What did you do?” he asks after a minute, quiet and subdued. “You know, with the captain?” 

Eva smiles at the memory in spite of herself. “Well, hmm. For starters… I guess I kissed him back.”

Luca scrambles up and gathers up a cushion to hug it to himself as he slides her a sideways glance. 

“Yeah? And did you teleport out of the room immediately afterwards?”

Eva can’t help it, she dissolves into giggles and Luca whacks her gently with the pillow.

“No…”

“SEE!” 

He picks up his faithful blanket and hauls it over his head until the only thing that she can see is his curls. 

“This is so stupid. I’m so stupid. I’m just gonna pretend it never happened.”

“Luca. I’m sure it’s fine. It’s just a kiss. It’s a good thing. I don’t understand. I thought this was what you wanted?”

His head peaks up, eyes dark pools over the blanket’s trim. “I don’t know. I mean… yes? But also… no? Yes. Um. Definitely yes? No… Oh, no.”

“Now you’re confusing me. What is it that you actually want, Luc?”

He grows very quiet for a moment and Eva allows him to sit with his thoughts. He was getting better with his focus. The meditations he’s been doing with her in the quiet off hours are definitely helping.. at least she hopes.

“It is… I think. I just… I don’t want to mess it up, Eva,” he says, his voice small. “I really like him. He’s my friend, so it’s not just… well, you know-“

He does something with his eyebrows that has her wanting to laugh again, but she stifles that urge in case he whacks her with the cushion again, “-but he’s just… He makes me feel… I don’t know. Like I’m capable of important things even though I’m not special like him... or you…”

“Because you are, Luc. Don’t sell yourself short.” 

“I know that and I’m not. I mean. Not really. I’m just… How can you want something so badly but be so scared to reach for it? It doesn’t make sense... but then what if you do… and then everything gets all messed up and then you don’t even have a friend anymore and things get all weird and awkward and plus I know he's still missing them and I can’t-“ 

Eva feels the ache inside her as she reaches for him and tugs him into a hug, effectively cutting him off before he spirals once again. He leans into her miserably, his soft hair tickling the side of her jaw. 

“Luca,” she says it on a sigh, because this… this hits too close to home and how can she encourage him to give himself over to something that might be so beautiful… but has the potential to hurt so much too?

He snuffles lightly into her chest. “I need someone to send me a sign,” he mutters. “Something from the universe to tell me what to do.”

He’s barely finished saying the words when his omnitool beeps with an incoming message. He pulls away to read it and she lets him go. 

“Huh? What the… Why is Ajax mess- ohfuck-“ 

“Well,” Eva laughs at his horrified expression as she reads the scrolling text over his shoulder. “I guess that’s your sign, Luc.”

Ben opens the door to his quarters and the first thing Luca does is grab his shirt and pull him close. Except, that’s not actually what happens because Ben is more solid than he looks and Luca ends up losing his balance and falling into his chest with a small grunt instead.

Ben catches him with a confused look. “Luca?”

“Um. Look,” Luca starts, hands still tangled in Ben’s shirt, close enough to breathe him in and see the way the vanguard’s eyes glow in the low light of the hallway. “So... there’s a million things I want to say and all of them are probably stupid, but… you kissed me and I don’t know what that means and I can only hope it means what I want it to mean, but if it doesn’t mean what I want it to mean then that’s okay too and I hope this doesn’t change anything because I really like being your friend but just once, just once, I want... to.. do.. this...” Luca traps Ben’s face gently between his palms... and kisses him.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈=^._.^= ∫

it was a boring evening. minho, your boyfriend, went on a little trip with his friends so you were all alone at home. after cleaning the house you decided to take a rest and watch a movie, but you got so used to watching tv with minho that it felt weird when the whole couch was yours. no one's gonna grab your hand whenever it's not in a bowl of popcorn or kick you lightly to prevent you from sleeping through the best parts of the movie. it had been just a week without him but you already missed his warmth.

and what's the best cure for that? wrapping yourself up with blankets like a burrito. you got up and started looking for your favorite cozy blanket. you found it after few minutes but you didn't expect to see your biggest enemy aka soonie sitting on it. life definitely wasn't on your side.

soonie was the eldest kitty so it was still hard for her to accept you, even though you have lived with minho for few months already. it was understandable but you both could at least live in peace or ignore each other. but no, soonie decided to bring hell into your life. she would shed only on your clothes or find every possible occasion to scratch or bite you. and of course it was one of them. she didn't have to play an angel especially since minho wasn't at home. no one was there to scold her. well, there was you but who were you to tell that cat what to do. she only listened to minho. he was like a father to his cats what sometimes to be honest bothers you. you kept telling your boyfriend that it's not good to spoil them that much, but of course he didn't listen to you. every so often a thought that his cats were more important than you crosses your mind and soonie tried her best to make you feel that way. so now you were, standing there, avoiding eye contact not to annoy her by accident. you weren't in a mood to fight.

"hey soonie, i want the blanket your fat ass is sitting on. can you give it to me?" you asked with a soft tone of voice, pointing at the blanket. soonie didn't even move a muscle so you sighed and tried to take it with force. of course that little demon didn't like your idea and scrached your wrist immediately, hissing. you winced, quickly taking your hand away.

'ouch ! ugh fine, i don't want that anymore" you sighed and went to the bathroom. the scratch was deep so it started bleeding and stinging. you irrigated the wound then opened the medicine cabinet to find some bandages. you were so focused on treating the scratch properly that you didn't hear the front door opened.

"hey baby ! i'm home" you heard an excited voice coming from the living room. he was supposed to be back tomorrow so you were a bit shocked to see him that soon. you quickly told minho where you were, smiling widely to yourself. you heard a bang so he probably threw his bag somewhere and a few seconds later you saw his handsome face in the reflection. you smiled at him but somehow he didn't seem to be as excited as he sounded just before. you looked at him but you didn't see his usual smile he had after not seeing you for so long. he glanced down at your wrist with his furrowed eyebrows then ran up to you at the speed of light.

"baby. why did you do that ?!" he asked you with a raised voice, grabbing your hand. your eyes got bigger, getting what he was referring to.

"minho, it's not what you think-" you tried to explain but you were cut off.

"then what is it?!" he knew that you hated being yelled at and he knew it would always make you cry but instead he kept snapping at you. "have you even thought about how I would feel when you're gone? i have feelings too ! why didn't you tell me?!" you opened your mouth to say something, but the words weren't able to come out. "yn. talk to me !" you looked down, tears began to roll down your face, no longer able to hold them in.

minho's eyes widened as he realized what he'd done. he quickly cupped your cheeks with his hands and wiped your tears away. "aweh honey bun..i'm sorry, i didn't want to raise my voice at you. it's just,, i got worried, okay?" he said as soft as he could then pulled you close to him, letting you cry in his arms until you were comfortable enough to talk about it. after few minutes of staying in the bathroom and hugging you finally calmed down.

"i didn't hurt myself,," you began as minho started caressing your back as reassuring as possible, ready to hear you out this time. "it was that demon who hurt me" you pointed at soonie, who was now standing by the door. minho blinked a few times as he finally realized he had misunderstood the whole situation.

"oh my god. you scared the shit out of me-" he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. you pouted before placing a soft peck on his lips. "i know. i'm sorry. you know i would always talk to you before doing something stupid" it was the truth and now you were even more sure that minho truly cared for you. he really was the best boyfriend you could ever imagine.

minho stared at you for awhile, thinking what else to say. "promise me you will never hide your feelings. you mean the world to me, i can’t lose you okay?" he had never told you that before and after what happened he thought that some things needed to be said. you nodded, the words made you smile. "pinky promise !" you said, locking your pinkies. minho smiled then gently grasped your arm to help you finish cleaning the wound.

"by the way, don't you ever call soonie a demon again-" he finished putting a bandage on it then looked at soonie "and you, young lady, are grounded" but of course soonie didn't even care and just turned around at his words, showing her butthole to you both. it was a habit she got everytime she gets offended. minho rolled his eyes then turned his attention back to you.

"see? she loves you" he chuckled then stole a peck from you. "but i love you more ! ~"
