part 4
Three years before.
The gentle sounds of the nearby river flowing lulled you into a peaceful nap.
As you slowly woke up again, confused as to why you were in a park, you felt gentle fingers brush your hair. A warm voice singing a tune over and over again.
You were lying on the grass, your head resting on Seokmin's lap. Then you remembered that you were on the park with your friends to wind down after a long practice session for a course that was important to you.
There was a small mark on Seokmin's jeans where your drool had landed. Ashamed, you reincorporated in the grass, the back of your hand wiping away the drool on the corner of your mouth.
"I drooled on you," you muttered, feeling a bit groggy still.
"I know, I felt it. Disgusting," you heard him say with a chuckle.
You turned to see him. His dark brown hair was hiding beneath a green cap.
"Sorry," you mustered a shy smile.
"I'm only joking, noodle," he reassured.
You noticed that Soonyoung and Seungkwan were nowhere to be seen. And the sun was no longer at its highest point in the sky.
"How long did I sleep for?" you asked, fumbling on the grass for your phone.
"I don't know. You have a very deep sleep, though," he commented with a chuckle. "Some kids came here with loud speakers to do a dance challenge and you didn't even budge. Was funny."
Embarrassed, you found your phone in your backpack. "Haven't been sleeping lately. I've been pulling an all-nighter this week for finals."
You saw that it was already 4PM. So you had slept in Seokmin's lap for about 3 to 4 hours. You felt your heart drop.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" you asked, horrified that you had slept for hours on his lap.
His lips pressed in a small smile, he shrugged. "I thought you'd needed it," he went to grab his things, and stood up. "Hungry? D'you wanna go grab something to eat with me? I'm buying."
"I uh... thank you," he held out a hand to help you stand. "But I should go home. I have to keep studying," you muttered shyly, brushing the dirt and grass off your clothes.
Seokmin had been a very attentive friend lately. After months of you being in their friend group, you had grown really close to him. And besides letting you sleep on his lap for hours, he'd been making sure you eat, that you get home safe and sometimes he brings you coffee when he knows he'll find you in the library.
His usual response was that you had helped him a lot with homework and assessments at university, and that he felt the need to pay you back all the time. As much of his explanation was correct, you did not want to dig any further.
"That's okay," he shrugged again. "But you've been pushing yourself too hard lately. I don't want our noodle having a burn out for being an overachiever," he cooed, dropping an arm on your shoulders as you walked through the park, beside the river.
"It's this stupid art history final 'm worried about," you mumbled, trying not to think too much of his arm draped in your shoulders.
"Don't worry, noodle. It's just a test. It won't matter in a year, or in a month," he chanted carelessly.
"But–maybe you're right. But it matters to me now," you mentioned.
"I can help you study," he suggested, dropping his arm from your shoulders.
"The last time you helped me study you fell asleep in the library," you reminded him, but couldn't help but smile at the memory.
"And you let Soonyoung paint my face with your markers," he pouted. "You're right, I shouldn't help you."
You laughed, remembering the pictures of him asleep on the library with doodles on his face.
"We can grab milkshakes and you help me study for a bit. Fair trade?" you suggested.
"Or, I can help you study today and you come with me for the job fair next week," he countered.
"I'll go with you to the job fair either way, we don't have to trade that," you said.
Seokmin has been anxious about that job fair for weeks now. Apparently some theatre companies and different acting agencies will be there and he wanted to make some good impressions, but he couldn't do it alone.
"Promise you'll come with me?" he asked.
You suppressed a smile. "Sure."
He held up his pinky finger out to you and you scoffed, he held it closer between you, insisting. "You've been standing me up lately, don't wanna risk it."
You intertwined your pinky with his. "I promise."
"Good. Now, milkshakes..."
Your chuckle was interrupted by your phone buzzing in your pocket, pulling it out from your pocket you went to check it.
[4:19 PM] youngho ♡: bbgirl [4:19 PM] youngho ♡: wya? [4:20 PM] youngho ♡: i'm outside your building
"Oh, crap," you muttered, and Seokmin leaned to peek at your screen. "Sorry, can we move our study sesh to tomorrow? I totally forgot I had a date with Youngho."
Seokmin coughed, masking his chuckle. "Sure, I'm free tomorrow," he muttered awkwardly. "I thought you said you called it off with Youngho 'cause he was a mess."
"He is," you muttered. "I decided to give him a second chance."
"Why?" Seokmin's frown deepened.
You shrugged. "He's kinda cute. I don't know."
Seokmin snorted.
"What?" you asked, a shy smile appearing on your lips.
"Nothing, nothing," his smile faded as he looked at the ground while he walked beside you. "Can I ask you something?"
You were taken aback for a minute, seeing that Seokmin got serious all of a sudden. "Sure, what is it?"
He was biting his lower lip, looking at the sidewalk as you continued walking toward the bus stop. "Do you see this thing with Youngho going somewhere?"
"Oof. Don't know. Don't think so," you shrugged. "Maybe it's just a fling. Why?"
He bit his lower lip, looking a bit lost in thought. "Dunno. I was just thinking that's kind of difficult for me to date lately."
"That reminds me," you mentioned before crossing the street with him at your side. "Didn't you tell me you were going to ask Seoyeon out?"
"Who?" he muttered, his mouth pouting. He shook his head slightly. "Ah, yeah. I didn't."
"Why not?" you frowned. His face looked deep in thought.
"I forgot," he muttered.
You narrowed your eyes as you both waited for the bus for you. "Did you chicken out, Lee Seokmin?"
He smiled sheepishly. "No," he mumbled. "I just forgot."
"She thinks you're cute! You should get to know her," you landed soft slap on his shoulder. "She is nice. I like her."
"Maybe you should ask her out," he muttered, the tips of his ears bright red.
"That's not what I meant!" you whined. "Come on, Dk!"
"What if I don't like her at all? I want to ask someone I know I like," he murmured shyly.
The bus was approaching the stop. The screech of the brakes almost drowned out his voice, but you managed to catch his words.
"Then you should go ahead and do it," you replied simply with a smile. "That's me. I'll see you later, Dk!"
You waved goodbye as you boarded the bus, choosing a seat where you could still catch a glimpse of him. He smiled back at you, a bittersweet smile.
Tumblr media
Present day.
It has been just a few days since you last saw Seokmin. But he's been living in your mind every day, making you miss him with every second that passed.
You attempted to maintain your daily routine, and keeping yourself occupied proved effective, for the most part. However, there were days when you felt terrible, and Seungkwan couldn't help but notice, persistently badgering you about it until your shift at the coffee shop concluded.
It was the last week of your season before the last night of show. It's been six weeks since you and Seokmin started fake dating. And four days since he called it off, confessing that he had broken the promise he made to you.
That promise meant that your fake relationship would be only just for fun. No real feelings.
You tried to keep your mind off the memory of him. You were in the middle of brewing coffee, since you haven't been sleeping well for the past few days.
The buzzing of your phone snapped you out of your train of thought.
[10:21 AM] soonie: i got the role [10:21 AM] soonie: ╥﹏╥ [10:22 AM] soonie: did u get the role too [10:27 AM] soonie: don't leave me on read
Those were the messages you had already read. Ignoring him was not always easy, given his insistence. However, his rapid-fire texts sometimes gave you a headache.
[10:40 AM] soonie: sigh [10:40 AM] you: i got the role too soonie [10:41 AM] soonie: we're kissing ig 🤮🤮 [10:41 AM] you: it's just 1 night every week, chill [10:41 AM] soonie: FOR 7 WEEKS [10:41 AM] you: it's just a simple kiss soonie [11:42 AM] soonie: WHAT WILL I SAY AT YOUR WEDDING FEAST [10:42 AM] soonie: scratch that [10:42 AM] soonie: how will i be able to look at dk in the eye after i kiss his girl ? [10:42 AM] soonie: 🤮
Soonyoung obviously didn't know that you and Seokmin weren't in a relationship, he didn't even know that it was all completely fake. You didn't know how he'd react. But you decided not to tell Soonyoung anything yet.
You got an email confirming you had gotten the role earlier in the morning. So you'll be Satine for 7 weeks. And not only that, you'll have to extensively prepare for the shows.
Now that the company recently acquired a bigger production team and acquired the permissions and rights to adapt more popular works into theatre, you had the opportunity to get bigger roles.
This was a big opportunity for you. It meant bigger audiences, larger shows, larger runs. Training, classes, reading, learning scripts, work, work, work.
But it was okay, you needed to be busy.
The reason why Soonyoung was freaking out was because you'll have to kiss him for one particular scene. From what you knew, it was a passionate kiss. But you two were actors, kissing people for a scene was normal.
When you kissed Seokmin for the first time, you were acting. You were pretending to be his girl for a night to make your friends see that you were over your ex.
But even going back to the memory, it wasn't like acting on a stage. You felt something. Whenever Seokmin touched you, kissed you, you felt things that you usually didn't feel on stage.
Did he feel the same things you did when you first kissed?
The mere recollection of him caused your body to ache, and you physically recoiled from the memory. This same feeling had been happening ever since Seokmin left your apartment that night he confessed his feelings for you.
Pain. Fear. Regret.
But you couldn't quite put your finger on why.
Seokmin was your best friend. He has been for years now and you were in the brink of losing him to your bad choices. You knew that having sex with him blurred the lines of your friendship with every encounter you had. But you didn't seem to care in that moment, now you regret it.
You never intended for this to go so far. In the beginning of it all, you just thought it was a fun little secret you had with Seokmin. A fake relationship between two friends who like to fuck. The first time you had sex with Seokmin, it was purely that. Just sex.
All because you wanted people to shut up about your cheating ex. You didn't even feel something for your ex anymore, so you didn't think that you were using Seokmin as a rebound. But it felt wrong.
So, it was a particular shitty day for you. You didn't even felt like celebrating the news of your new important role.
Later that day you had your shift. You dragged yourself to the coffee shop, when you arrived fifteen minutes late, you knew what would happen.
"There you are," Seungkwan said, putting his phone in his pocket. "I've been calling you. Are you okay?"
Your brow furrowed. "I'm fine, Boo," you searched your pockets. "I think I left my phone back in my apartment. Sorry."
He eyed you up and down for a second, a worried look on his face. "You look like shit."
You scoffed. "Thanks, man."
"I mean it. Are you sure you're okay?"
You rubbed your face with two hands. "I'm just tired, that's all."
He pursed his lips for a second. But decided to continue his task for the moment. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
"Boo, I'm fine," you insisted.
"I'm worried!" he exclaimed, annoyed now.
"Don't be," you muttered, taking your position at the cash machine. "'m fine."
You heard him scoff, but didn't say anything else anymore.
The shift was difficult. You didn't think of Seokmin for hours, but you felt the echoes of your worries affect you in other ways. You'd forget simple things, mix orders and make minor mistakes that cost you time.
It was starting to annoy you. This failure in your mind due to your stress from the idea of losing your best friend. He told you he wouldn't go anywhere. But what if he did? What if he backs out seeing your apparent indecisiveness?
The shift ended after long hours of you fucking up. Luckily no one told you anything, in fact, you felt a bit annoyed that no one said anything. Instead, your co-workers seemed to be giving you the pity treatment again. But now for a new reason unbeknownst to them since you weren't saying anything.
You just looked like you're close to breaking. You looked like you were holding back tears and you might as well be.
Keeping secrets could be like that–weighing heavy on the heart. You realized that there was nothing wrong with opening up about what had been tormenting you for days.
And you just needed to let it all out.
"Seungkwan," you muttered as you were closing the shop.
"Yes?" he lifted his gaze from his phone almost instantly.
"Can we talk?" you asked and your voice sounded small.
He put his phone in the pocket of his jacket. "What's wrong?" the tone of his voice was soft. So soft that you felt like breaking into tears.
The pavement where you were standing was empty and the streets equally desolate, except for the occasional passing car that interrupted the silence with the sound of tyres on the wet pavement. The night was still, as if it had fallen silent to listen to the words you were about to say.
"I fucked up," you muttered in a shaky tone. "With Seokmin."
His gaze softened and he gently pulled you into a warm embrace, his hand resting on your shoulder. It was at that moment that you could no longer contain your emotions. You broke down in tears for the first time since Seokmin left, tears ran down your face in his comforting embrace. It was an abrupt release, and the intensity of your tears took you by surprise, as if it was proof of the depth of your emotions and the relief of finally sharing your burden with your best friend.
Broken sobs were muffled in Seungkwan's shoulder as his hands caressed your back, soothing you. "That's it, let it all out," he hushed.
"I– I'm sorry Boo," you sobbed.
"Why? What happened?" he asked, still in a soft tone.
"I lied to you. We never had a relationship. It was all fake," you mumbled, trying to get the words out as fast as you could, cringing with every single one of them.
"What?" his hands on your shoulders pulled you from the embrace. "Why?"
You wiped your face off your tears. "It was a stupid thing we came up with on the opening night. We pretended to be a thing, but we messed it up."
His eyes unfocused from yours, his mouth parting a bit. "Ah, I see. I knew there was something off," his brow furrowed, eyes locking on yours again. "But why lie? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was tired of people asking me about Youngho, I just wanted to make it stop," you sobbed.
"Why not just tell me to stop asking?" he shook his head and blinked rapidly. "Fuck, I know you did tell me, forget I asked that. But, why did you say you fucked it up?"
"We had sex," you mumbled shyly. "A lot."
He cringed visibly. "Right. That I did know," his brow furrowed. "But you made it seem like it was normal."
"We promised it would only be that, a no strings attached thing. No feelings, we would remain as friends only."
Seungkwan listened intently, but you saw something in his face that he could tell where the story was going.
You inhaled deeply, trying to calm yourself down but the tears wouldn't stop coming. "Seokmin called it off last saturday," you mumbled.
"Let me guess, he's looking for something serious," he inferred, nodding at your reaction. "And you don't want that?"
"That's what I don't know," you sighed. "I can't deny my feelings for him, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that step."
"Why's that?" he ask, a genuine curiosity in his voice. "Didn't you just said you had moved on from your ex?"
"I have moved on," you insisted. You paused, your thoughts gathering as you considered your response. "It's not about my ex. It's about me. I don't know if I'm truly ready for something more with Seokmin."
He nodded, seeming understanding. "I get it. It's important to be sure of what you want. But I thought you really liked him. You seemed really happy with Seokmin."
Your heart twinged with pain. "I do like him, Kwannie. I really do and it drives me crazy," you shuddered. "What if I fuck this up again? I don't want to lose him."
Seungkwan rolled his eyes. "You're annoying. You won't fuck this up, you know why?"
Your best friend wasn't really annoyed, but he looked like he wanted to whack you in the head.
"Why?" your voice still sounded small.
"Because you love him. You won't fuck it up. You're just scared and that's completely okay. It's human," he shrugged and patted you in the back.
You didn't stop at the word again, but it did had an effect on you. Love.
"God, I hate when you're right," you sniffed, wiping your face with the sleeve of your sweater.
"You're not off the hook yet. You did lie to me, for weeks," he pointed a finger to your face. "There will be repercussions."
You laughed at his fake-serious expression. "I wouldn't expect any less from you, Kwannie."
"Are we going home now?" he asked, motioning to walk toward the street.
"I'm taking a detour, is that okay?" you turned to the other direction from where Seungkwan was motioning.
To where Seokmin lives.
His shoulders slumped down a bit. "Right. Keep me updated!" he said, pulling you into a last hug. "For real this time."
"Yeah, for real this time," you hugged him tightly and pulled away.
You knew where Seokmin lived, since you all had a group chat where you shared your address, so you had learned your best friends' addresses and you all lived within a 6km radius.
Seokmin lived in a building that was the farthest, and the fanciest. He apparently had found a great deal with one of his closest friends. This 'deal' was that the building was directly across a large LED Samsung billboard that pointed directly to his and his roommate's bedroom windows.
You got in to his apartment door, a strange reassuring feeling filled you as you rang his doorbell.
For a moment you thought you might've rung the wrong door. You glanced at the number before the door and then the man that was opening the door.
"Oh, hi. You must be Seokmin's roommate?"
A tall man of deep black hair nodded, flashing a polite smile at you. "I'm Joshua. You're looking for him?"
You nodded once, then you started feeling really nervous.
"Sorry. He flew to visit his family a couple of days ago. Might come back on friday," his brow furrowed. "Do you want me to tell him you stopped by?"
Your heartbeat faltered for a second. "Uh, no, it's okay. I just wanted to tell him something."
Joshua grinned, one of his eyebrows–which was pierced, arched up. "You could've texted him. Save you the walk all the way here."
"Didn't bring a phone," you mumbled, feeling deeply embarrassed.
You felt like you could use a hug. You were feeling a bit like something's missing, like you're not entirely alone but you were. And a hug would help.
His big curious eyes studied you for a second, his grin vanished and his hand moved from the doorframe. "You okay there? D'you need to come inside? I can get him on the phone if you want."
"'m fine," you brushed off. "Thank you, though."
There followed a quiet moment between Seokmin's roommate and you. It was really brief, but it gave you time to eye behind him, toward the interior of the apartment where you caught a glimpse of Seokmin's denim jacket.
You might be going insane, because the first thought you had was to ask Joshua if he could give you Seokmin's jacket. Anything close to him would work.
Joshua gave you a knowing look. "You're her, right? The girl Dk's been seeing lately."
You shook your head. "Not anymore, at least."
He rolled his big eyes. "You theatre kids can be dramatic," he smiled. "If it's any comfort, Dk's been a soppy mess too."
"Oof, that is really comforting," you chuckled ironically. "I'll be going now. Thank you for the comforting words, though."
Joshua smirked playfully. "Anytime," he nodded with his head once. "Get home safe!"
"Thanks," you waved at him and walked towards the elevator.
Tumblr media
The closing night of a show can stir up a lot of emotions. After performing for five weeks straight, you had grown fond of your newfound routine.
And you were excited for the next show, too. But right now you couldn't focus on anything else but this night. It marked something special in you.
You had started this season feeling lost. Wandering in the dark not knowing how to navigate in your own body after your life was changed upside down.
A lot of things happened during this season.
Even now, you still didn't know how to deal with the pre-show jitters, as you called them. You were bouncing on your feet, pacing back and forth in a hallway that led to the emergency exit. Your makeup and hair were already done, after weeks of doing it yourself, you had mastered doing them in under ten minutes now.
So you were just dealing with the emotions before the show, listening the chaos that happened every time before a show. Some dancers were late, and apparently there was something wrong with the sound system but those problems usually would be solved the moment the show started.
All you needed to do was relax. You knew your lines, you knew your queues. Why were you so nervous?
You knew it had something to do with your mood lately. You weren't as bad as when you started this season, you felt different. But still, you felt like you still needed a hug.
The side of hallway you were hiding at was deserted, you actually had to take a turn to the right to return to the dressing rooms so no one really knew you were here. You leaned back in the wall of the hallway and looked at the ceiling for a moment, you felt a bit dazed.
You sighed heavily.
Your phone buzzed in the pocket of your dress. Reluctant, you fished it out and at glancing at it, immediately your attention was caught.
It was Seokmin.
[7:41 PM] seokminnie: noodle where r u [7:41 PM] you: working. u? [7:41 PM] seokminnie: i know you're working [7:41 PM] seokminnie: i'm here [7:42 PM] seokminnie: you're not backstage?
He's here. Your heart stopped.
[7:42 PM] you: why r u here? [7:43 PM] you: ??
No reply. You stared at your phone screen for what felt like forever, but Seokmin went offline.
You thought of searching for him and just as you were raising your head from your phone, you saw Seokmin turning on the hallway, as if knowing already that he'd find you here.
Your heart raced so fast you lost the ability to speak for a second. You hated it. Hated that you felt so much that you couldn't even utter a single word.
The first thing you noticed about him was that he had dyed his hair again. His hair was now styled in a rich, deep shade of black that matched his sweet chocolate brown eyes.
He smiled softly, the dimples beneath his mouth showed and you knew you were done for.
"Hi, noodle," he mumbled.
A shudder went down your spine. "Hi, Seokmin," you swallowed hard, trying not to cry.
Then you practically leaped into his arms, and he welcomed you right in. His arms encircled your body as a sigh was muffled in the crook of your neck, your feet left the ground for a second before he put you back in the floor.
"You're okay?" he muttered, still hugging you tightly.
"'m better now," you sighed, your voice sounded shaky and that made him break away from your embrace.
"No you're not," he countered, his hands cupping your face, looking at you intently. "What's wrong?"
You sniffed and looked up to try and control your tears. "Nothing. I just missed you," you laughed sheepishly.
"I know, noodle," he replied in a soft tone, pulling you back to his warm arms. "I miss you too. Everyday."
Seokmin's scent triggered a flood of emotions, bringing back memories. The fear and pain you have felt these past few days were long gone.
Seokmin felt like home. Like coming home after a tiring day, you can finally relax and unwind. The comfort of his affectionate embrace is everything you've been longing for in the last few days.
"Why are you here?" you asked, and pulled away to see him.
He was all dressed in black, all except for his white t-shirt, which you had already ruined with your tears and make up.
"Sorry," you whispered, trying to clean off the pink make up from his shirt.
"Don't worry about it," he brushed it off. "I'm here to see you."
You blinked. "You are?"
He rolled his eyes, yet he flashed a smile that tugged at your heartstrings sharply. "It's your closing night, noodle. I wouldn't miss it."
You felt your body relax under the wave of warmth his words caused. "And how did you know I'd be here?"
He shrugged, putting his hands on the pockets of his jeans. "A hunch," he laughed with a resigned sigh. "Soonyoung told me."
He heard you chuckle and a glint of joy appeared in his eyes.
"I was dealing with some pre-show jitters," you explained, trying to get your undereye to dry without smudging your makeup further.
"I imagined. Do you still feel nervous?"
You inhaled deeply. "A bit," you said. "But for a different reason now."
He cocked his head, pursing his lips slightly, showing the dimple beneath the corner of his mouth. "What's that?"
Suddenly your mouth went dry. You were drawn to him so much you couldn't keep your hands to yourself. You pulled him into a hug again but this time you didn't hide your face on his shoulder, you faced him and he didn't pull away.
Seokmin swallowed thickly, his eyes locked on yours briefly before resting his forehead on yours, his eyelids fluttering a bit as he sighed weakly. His hands found your waist, pulling you even closer to his frame.
"We need to talk," you whispered, your hands found his face, fingers touching his jawline gingerly.
"Right now?" you felt his brow furrow.
"After the show?" you asked, your voice sounded shaky.
"Let's talk tomorrow. Would you like that?"
You shook your head slightly and you heard him smile.
"We'll talk tomorrow," he insisted. "Tonight is yours, baby."
You shuddered again, him calling you baby would never feel old.
"But–," you started.
"I told you I'd be patient," he mumbled softly as he moved his hands from your waist and cupped your face.
"But I can't be patient," you whined, seeing his face again after he pulled back.
"I know," he smiled, his thumbs caressed your cheeks softly, seeming to shudder when your hands fell from his face and found the sides of his neck. "Try to enjoy tonight. Do that for me, will you?"
You nodded, giving him a reassuring smile.
He returned the smile. "That's my good girl," he sighed and angled your face so that he could press a loving kiss on your forehead.
The shiver running through your body made your eyelids flutter and sigh.
Then you heard commotion back in backstage that usually let you know that you needed to be stage ready soon. You looked up at Seokmin's sweet brown eyes, and he seemed to know too.
"Go. You got this, baby," he whispered with a nod of his head pointing toward the hallway.
You saw his eyes and his mouth for a brief minute, resisting the urge to kiss him. Seokmin saw you hesitate and sighed under a soft smile, using his hands on your face he kissed your forehead once and then your cheek sweetly.
"Go. I'll see you right after," he giggled.
You gently released yourself from his embrace and, just before you pulled away, you slyly kissed his cheek, eliciting another soft chuckle from him. With a quick step, you made your way back to the dressing room. Quickly, you touched up your makeup and prepared for your show.
You got this, you repeated to yourself.
As the stage lights come up, the murmur of the room died down. Taking a deep breath, you braced yourself for the start of the show, where the voices of your fellow cast members got ready for their cue too.
Everything in your head, every worry and anxiety quickly died down when you entered your scene on a dimly lit stage, your chest rose and fell with each controlled breath. As the orchestra's crescendo rose, your body became fluid and controlled at the same time, ready to reflect the passion of the character you have been portraying for weeks.
Your voice carries the weight of the character's struggles, resonating across the stage. The power and freedom you experience when projecting your voice makes you feel truly alive.
As your last scene came to its end, your voice rose, filling the space with a powerful resonance that reverberates throughout the room, the lights on you died out, the curtain fell.
And then a standing ovation erupted for you and your fellow cast members and the rest of the crew.
After regaining your composure, your chest heaving with pure adrenaline, the curtain rose again, showing you standing hand in hand with your cast and crew.
With a shared smile, you raise your clasped hands and take a deep bow, expressing your sincere thanks for the overwhelming support you received.
The staff crew swept in, you were clapping your hands together with the crowd at the same time that someone from the crew thrusted a bouquet of fresh flowers into your grasp.
You looked at the flowers. They were not roses. You didn't exactly like roses and someone was aware of that. Your fingers reached for the card tucked among the yellow and white daisies and you looked out into the crowd.
Seokmin was in the front rows, clapping proudly with a big smile. When you saw him, he waved at you with a sweet smile.
For my noodle. Let's cherish this beautiful night as you return fully on the stage again. From Seokmin.
Your eyes filled with tears and you felt yourself breaking down in a sob that was quickly muffled by the commotion in the theatre. You smiled and waved at Seokmin as a form of thanks.
But you wanted to do more. Your body urged to feel his embrace again.
What ensued next was a session for the press. It was something you have definitely done before, but it was your first as a lead. It felt long and arduous, as you were trying to get it done as quickly as possible without coming off as rude or indifferent.
You wanted to go back off stage, remove all your makeup and costume to find Seokmin again.
The flashes from the cameras blinded you briefly as you spoke, answering the questions from the press and other few people who had the opportunity for a quick commentary or feedback.
When you rushed off stage, everything was a blur. You just had finished your first season run in what felt like an eternity. It was your first season since you and your ex broke up. And it felt just so good to come back.
The jitters you had felt before were yesterday's worries. Now, you continue onwards.
There was no big after party on closing night. And you were okay with that. Some people from cast and crew were gathering at a bar afterwards but it wasn't something special or out of the ordinary, just like every friday night.
So the clothes you brought with you before the show were just comfy. Leggings, a tank top, sweater, hoodie and sneakers. Your outfit was just mean to keep you warm and comfy after the show. And you felt totally unprepared for a night out.
Seokmin was waiting for you outside the dressing rooms. Some guys from your cast were crowding around him, as it usually happened. Seokmin was a particularly shy guy, but had a lot of friends. A lot of people seemed to know him so, a small crowd followed him whenever he went.
He was chatting with a guy, looking interested but you knew it was a façade. He'd nod with his head and go 'yeah, yeah' and smile politely.
When you appeared in the hallway, flower bouquet in hand, his face lit up, apparently pulling him out from his trance. He seemed to excuse himself from the his friend group and strolled toward you, extending his arms in his way.
"You killed it, noodle," he muttered once he hugged you, his arms lifting you from the floor again, effortlessly.
"Thank you for the flowers," you mumbled in his shoulder.
"You liked them?" he asked, putting you back on the floor.
"They're beautiful," you nodded, smiling up to him. "How did you know I like yellow daisies?"
He blinked, looking back to the flowers and then your eyes. "I think you mentioned it. A while ago, I don't remember," he explained, scratching the back of his head shyly.
"I did?" you asked, feeling confused and then shrugged.
He nodded with his head, smiling softly at you. "D'you want to go where everyone's going after this?"
"Uh... no. Not really. I wanna go home," you muttered.
"Can I... walk you there?" he asked, and the look in his eye made you think that he was feeling shy.
You nodded eagerly and that made him smile broadly.
"Let's get you home then," he muttered, grabbed your duffel bag from your shoulder and threw it on his.
You kept your free hand in the pocket of your hoodie for two reasons. The first one being that it was starting to get really cold already, as the autumn died out day by day. The other reason was so that you kept your hands to yourself.
You wanted to touch Seokmin. To hold his hand as you walked on the side walk in direction to your apartment. But you knew that you had to wait until you two talked, you didn't want to cross a line again.
"I got the role," you told him after a minute of silence. You had started to feel tension in your walk, as if Seokmin were thinking what you were thinking too.
"You'll be Satine?" he looked at you with a proud smile on his face. "That's awesome, congrats."
Your fingers caressed a soft petal of one daisy. "Thanks. Soonyoung will play Christian, though. He's mortified."
Seokmin's brow furrowed. "Why? I thought he wanted this role. Something about proving himself that he can sing on a lower register."
"He's worried that we'll have to share some kissing scenes," you mumbled, and then you started to get why Soonyoung was worried, because an uneasy warmth crept up your cheeks.
"I see," he pressed his lips into a smile. "And how do you feel?"
"I'm annoyed," you replied. "I don't care that I'll have to kiss him. I'm annoyed that he's making such a fuss about it and we haven't even started script readings."
"Yeah, he can be a bit dramatic," he chuckled. "But I'm glad you got the role, though."
Seokmin stopped walking and you almost felt confused until it dawned on you that you were already outside your building. Your heart faltered a little, seeing that you'd probably had to return to your apartment alone after spending your closing night with him.
"You're sure you don't want to come in?" you asked sheepishly, pointing a thumb towards the building.
Seokmin glanced up at the building briefly, appearing to be reconsidering it. "I'm sure, noodle," he muttered with a low tone.
Your shoulders slumped down a little. "Okie dokie," you whispered, still grabbing your bouquet of flowers with one hand.
"But we'll talk tomorrow, remember?" he asked, seeing your reaction.
You made a small pout, aware of your own childishness, but going with it all the same. Seokmin responded with a soft laugh, wrapping you in a comforting embrace.
"Don't make it more difficult for me," he hummed, his head resting beside yours gently. "If I go to your apartment with you right now, I might not come out. We need to talk first. And you know it."
Your whole body burned with anticipation and your arms clung to him, pulling him close to your body. You couldn't think of what to say and it seemed words were inadequate. You simply longed for his presence beside you.
He pulled his head back, a hand cupping the side of your face. "Baby, you're killing me," he muttered, a tortuous smile creeping on his face. "Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
"Not when you call me that," you muttered, still pouting.
His gaze softened. "My bad," he sighed under a small smile that looked content on his face, even though you were pressuring him. "Let's talk tomorrow, alright? Get some rest. I'll text you."
"Fine," you mumbled, and the hand cupping your face pinched your pouting lip gently, making you smile in response.
"C'mere," he whispered, pulling you closer to kiss your forehead, his lips pressing kisses gingerly on your face.
His forehead rested on yours, the proximity of his face to yours made you close your eyes briefly and you heard him sigh deeply.
"Text me when you get home?" you asked, feeling that you just needed to get anything he'd give you.
He chuckled. "Sure thing," he muttered, not quite making a gesture to leave. "Anything else?"
"Mmm, dunno. Let me think about it," you pretended to ponder over it, only to cling to his body for a while longer.
After a brief moment, you pulled away from his embrace reluctantly. His arms relaxed around you and his sweet brown eyes found yours.
He was right. As much as you wanted to drag him into your apartment, you needed to talk first. It was necessary for you to have some order in your friendship before you could do something with him again.
It was the right thing to do. You hated it. But he was right.
"Alright," you muttered. "See you tomorrow, then."
He handed you your duffel bag back. It wasn't heavy, but being the gentleman that he was, Seokmin always offered to carry it himself.
"Thank you for the flowers," you repeated with a shy smile.
Seokmin shrugged, putting his hands on his jean pockets and eyed you up and down. He blinked slowly, his lips pursing a little.
"They look good on you," he said warmly, a predilect glint on his eyes.
A small sigh escaped you. He was just so fucking beautiful. You had to resist the urge of pulling him into a kiss right there and then. He was also making it difficult for you by just existing.
"Thanks," you whispered, feeling yourself blush a little.
"See you tomorrow, noodle," he pulled you into a last bear hug, patting your head playfully before walking away.
When you got home, the first thing you did was look for a flower vase, or something remotely useful to put the bouquet in. In view that you didn't have a flower vase, you found a jar and decided that it was good enough in the mean time until you bought an actual vase.
You found yourself smiling as you looked for a place to put your flower bouquet, deciding that the little coffee table in your living room was perfect for it.
Your phone buzzed a little while after.
[11:44 PM] seokminnie: i'm home [11:44 PM] seokminnie: gnight noodle
A smile crept on your face, feeling a tight warmth fill you in.
[11:44 PM] you: goodnight seokmin :)⁠♡
Tumblr media
The day seemed pale and gloomy, as autumn slowly reached its peak with a frosty air. The pavements were covered with fallen leaves as you approached the park. Despite the chill, the atmosphere was pleasant.
You dug your hands deep in the pockets of your jacket. Having a but of fun with the puff that your breath created in the cold winds as you drew closer to where you and Seokmin had agreed to meet up.
It was the park you used to visit to wind down after exams when you were in university. The same park you had taken a long nap in Seokmin's lap years ago.
Did Seokmin remember that same event? You weren't entirely certain, but it seemed plausible that he chose this location because it was strategic, being a midpoint for both of you.
You were just arriving to the park when you realised that you had forgotten your phone yet again. But now it was something that made you panic a little. The park was so large that you didn't know where Seokmin might be arriving through and if he relied on his phone to find you, he could think that you had stood him up.
You looked around, thinking fast. Despite the cold weather, people were gathering at the park to walk, do exercise or just socialise. So it was a bit crowded, a bit difficult to stand out.
But then, you decided to trust, and walked toward that same tree you use to gather with your friends. The same tree Seokmin sat at when you fell asleep in his lap. You didn't think he remembered, but you had no other choice.
The walk over there gave you a chance to look around, to see if you spotted his familiar frame.
Until you saw that tree in the distance, it was located close to the lane you were walking, and it had a clearing of leaf covered grass surrounding it. It stood alone.
You caught sight of Seokmin, strolling with one hand in his pocket, the other clutching his phone, his brow furrowed in concentration as he seemed absorbed in whatever was on the screen, his steps aimless.
He had his dark hair tussled carelessly and wore a cosy looking oversized navy blue sweater, jeans and red converse. You took a second to breathe again, looked so cute, almost threw you back to your university days.
He was so absorbed in looking at his phone screen that he almost bumped into you. "Oh, I'm so sorry–," he said startled as he looked from his screen to you. "I was looking for you," he gasped. "I tried calling you and texting–"
"I forgot my phone," you mumbled shyly.
He sighed, and then smiled warmly. "Noodle, you scared me for a minute," he circled your body with his arms. "I thought you wouldn't come."
"I wouldn't do that," you said, catching a small whiff from the smell of his sweater.
He hugged you tightly for a second, rocking his body from side to side gently and taking you with him.
"Do you remember when we'd come here?" you heard him mumble and felt him rest his cheek on the crown of your head.
"Of course I do," you whispered. "I once slept on your lap for hours."
"You did?" he asked and you felt your heartbeat falter a little.
"And drooled on your leg," you giggled.
"Mmyeah I think I'm starting to remember. Disgusting," he chuckled, but he sounded fond of the memory.
He stopped rocking your bodies, pulling his head back to cup your face in his hands.
"Joshua told me that you were looking for me a few days ago," his brow furrowed a little.
You sighed. "I told him not to tell you," you whined a little.
"Why? What happened? Why didn't you call me?" his eyes searched yours.
You swallowed thickly and breathed in deeply as if gathering strength. "I needed to talk to you," your voice was shaky. "I needed to tell you how much I... missed you."
"But why didn't you tell me anything?" his hands dropped from your face, as if giving you space to talk freely.
"I... think I was scared," you mumbled feeling like you'd soon start to shake from the chill air. "I needed time to think and reflect about what I wanted but my own feelings scared me."
He listened attentively, his gaze shifting from your eyes to your mouth, a habit you had noticed he used whenever you spoke to him.
"I went to find you because I needed to tell you that I feel the same way about you," his eyes widened slightly as he took your words in, and you could almost sense the shift in his breathing. "I want to be with you too, but I've been scared to fuck this up because..."
You swallowed thickly again, the knot in your throat making it impossible to utter a word without your voice breaking.
"...because you mean a lot to me," you continued despite feeling vulnerable. "I don't want to fuck up what we have. You're my best friend, our friendship is too important to me."
His gaze softened and he tilted his head to one side, a gentle, affectionate gesture. "Why would you fuck this up? There's nothing you could ever do that would drive me away, you know that."
Your eyes filled with hot tears, and you felt your lower lip quiver under the wave of emotions commanding your body. "I know. I panicked. I–just, I want us to work."
His sweet brown eyes seemed to glint with emotion. "You do?" he mumbled.
You nodded, wiping your tears with your sleeves. "I looked for you because I couldn't stand keeping this to myself any longer," you admitted, your voice trembling. "I… I also want to see where this could go."
Seokmin looked at you with a mixture of surprise and relief, and his initial tension slowly faded into a warm smile. "I'm glad you found the strength to tell me," he said, his voice full of affection and warmth. "I also felt scared. I didn't want to rush it, I didn't want to rush you because I know you. I knew you'd need some time to think."
Your body shook with cold and nervousness. It took a lot from you to speak your feelings, let alone to confess something as important as this to Seokmin. But you felt alright, as it dawned on you that you had finally taken that step, and it felt so right.
"Can you..." you mumbled, choking with emotion, "can you forgive me for panicking?"
He blinked, perplexed. "What?" he smiled sweetly, his warm hands cupping your cold cheeks again. "Don't be silly. I have nothing to forgive."
Your hands grabbed his wrists, thumbs caressing his skin as Seokmin rested his forehead on yours. "I didn't mean to hurt you. It was never my intention to mess with you," you explained, pondering over what he said on that dark alley last saturday.
"I know, and I understand," he whispered. "You have nothing to apologise for, baby."
A shiver ran down your spine, and you closed your eyelids, savouring the moment and his comforting warmth.
You heard Seokmin sigh softly, his hands cupping your face and tilting your face slightly before his lips locked onto yours and you swore you might have melted into the kiss. You felt your whole body shudder under a wave of joy and affection as his lips pressed over yours sweetly, kissing your lower lip and cheek with such predilection that your eyes began to water a little.
As you stood there, hands intertwined, the world around you seemed to fade away, leaving you and Seokmin alone, wrapped in this new reality.
"Are you cold, baby?" he asked, his tone wrapped in a gentle warmth.
"A bit, yeah," you replied.
"Mm, I can get you somewhere warm," he muttered, pulling away and you saw his face beaming with joy. "Would you like to go on a date with me?"
You smiled and felt his thumb brush the tears from your face. "I'd love that."
"Right now?"
The smile turned into a giggle. "Of course."
You started walking to the opposite direction of the park to which you got in. Seokmin grabbed your hand, locking his fingers with yours and with that brought you hand to kiss your knuckles with a smile that made his eyes beam.
The day was cloudy, with a gentle drizzle lightly sprinkling you with drops of water. The rain was gentle and intermittent, not enough to be bothersome, so you both paid little attention to it, immersed in the moment and in each other's company.
"Are you hungry? We could go to a restaurant that's not far from here," he said, as you walked hand in hand with him through the park where you used to walk as uni students.
"Sure," you said, feeling like it didn't really mattered where he took you, as long as you were together.
"Or we could go to watch a movie, if you're not hungry," he suggested, eyeing you with a smile still plastered on his face.
You laughed and that drew his attention back to your face. "You call the shots, mister."
"Would'you like to go to the aquarium sometime?" he asked, speaking so fast that you had to take a second to process what he said. "I've heard they have aquarium nights."
He spoke so fast that his thoughts seemed to be racing, a revealing sign of his excitement. This image made your heart flutter in your chest. Happiness sweeps over you, a joy so deep that you can't contain the broad smile that spreads across your face.
Droplets of water splashed in your forehead and shoulders, so icy cold that they made you flinch. Then the rain started to pour on you, washing over the park and river so sudden that took you by surprise. You had been ignoring the soft drizzling, not thinking that it was a warning of the upcoming downpour.
"Or we could run to cover," he suggested, chuckling a little. His nose wrinkled a little as the rain fell on his face.
Seokmin held your hand tight as you ran through the park and into the city streets, trying to find somewhere to cover as you quickly found a tall building that offered some roof for you to cover yourselves from the downpour.
"We could go to mine and wait," Seokmin said, his chest heaving from running, pointed a finger to the next corner of the street from where you stood. "It's the closest."
It was true. Since you both ran the other way to which you got here from yours. You nodded, your body starting to shiver from the cold water that already had your hair all wet.
"We have to run again," he said, surveying you.
"I'm okay with that," you nodded.
"Okay," he breathed and took your hand again, leading the way through the downpour toward his building.
Amidst the downpour drenching your entire body, a sudden thought struck you. "Wait!" you called out, your voice barely audible over the sound of the rain.
You tugged at his hand, making him stop, and turned to face you, concern shown on his burrowed brow.
He stared at you as you pulled him close, fingers cupping his face and a smile slowly crept across his lips. He took you by the waist, understanding your and your gazes met.
Your noses bumped lightly and you noticed Seokmin's soft chuckle, his warm brown eyes shifting from your gaze to your lips. Then he leaned towards you and his lips met yours in a gentle kiss, as your hands pulled him even closer.
The kiss was brief, but you tried to savour every second of it. You saw his eyes again when you pulled away, his hands on your waist not quite letting you go, his heavy lidded eyes looking at you with so much love that made you shudder.
"Let's go," he muttered softly, leaning to press a loving kiss on your forehead before walking to the lobby of his building.
It was really hard to keep your hands off him. When you were on the elevator, you had to settle for just kissing his face softly, eliciting some sweet chuckles from him.
His apartment was dark and empty when you got there. Seokmin turned the lights on, realising that his roommate wasn't in.
"You want to take a shower? I can lend you some clothes and dry yours on the dryer," he said as he removed his shoes.
You could only nod, feeling so cold that your whole body trembled. Seokmin saw you and gave you a soft smile, taking your hand to swiftly lead you to the bathroom, he got the shower ready as soon as he got you in.
"I'll bring a towel for you," he said, exiting from the bathroom and probably leaving you to have some privacy to remove your heavy soaking wet clothes.
You heard him return when you were already beneath the warm water from the shower.
"I left you dry clothes and a towel here, noodle," he announced quickly before going out again.
The clothes were his, a wide black t-shirt and grey sweatpants. The sweatpants were too baggy for your frame, but you could adjust the waist to fit.
He laughed a little when he saw you coming out of the bathroom. "You look tiny," he chuckled. "Are you okay with those? I can lend you other things if you want."
"I'm okay with these," you assured him, looking at your body with his baggy clothes. Your legs did look shorter.
"Okay," he said and then he removed his sweater in a swift movement, revealing his lean torso. "You can wait in my bedroom if you like," he suggested.
"Okie dokie," you muttered, without taking your eyes off him.
He sighed under a cheeky smile, bending down to give you a chaste kiss on your mouth. "I'll be there shortly, baby."
You found his room intuitively, since the two doors down the hall from the bathroom were facing each other, one was closed and the one opened revealed Seokmin's things.
His curtains remained open, allowing the bright city lights to cast a range of colours on her bed and the nearby bedside table. The bedside table held a small, softly glowing lamp and a book, which made you think of his reading habit before sleeping.
The window offered a glimpse of the source of the light illuminating his room. The building opposite his window was of a shorter height, revealing the rooftop within view. Perched atop it was a broad LED billboard displaying various advertisements in vibrant hues.
There was a dresser that had a bunch of clutter on top of it, caps, hats, fun glasses, sunglasses, fake glasses, and a pile of screenplays from past roles he had.
But a certain object caught your eye, and your heart fluttered a little when you saw something that once belonged to you. It was a black and yellow bracelet, the yellow beads were painted with smiley faces by you.
You thought you had lost it a long time ago. It just turned out Seokmin had it all along.
After that, you took the liberty of lying on his bed. His creamy white duvet was soft and you could smell the detergent on the pillows. You closed your eyes, hearing the soft cacophony of the rain patter on the windows.
When Seokmin returned, he was draped in a navy blue bathrobe and was using another smaller towel to dry his dark hair. He saw you lying in his bed a soft smile tugged his lips.
"I forgot to tell you," you muttered, sitting up on the edge of his bed, "I like your new hair."
He hummed with a smirk. "You do?" he asked as he closed his bedroom door.
"Mmyeah, you look good," you smirked too.
His fingers tugged at the knot of his bathrobe but he stopped. "Close your eyes, noodle," he chuckled, making a gesture with his hand.
You rolled your eyes. "Nothing I haven't seen before," you muttered while smiling at him.
"But what if I'm shy?" he said while pouting cutely and you noticed that he was joking.
He tugged at the knot of the bathrobe, undoing it at the same time that Seokmin smiled at your eager eyes. The robe parted and a shudder shook you slightly when you saw his body completely naked as he removed the robe from his shoulders and hanged it on a hook on his door.
"You don't close your curtains?" you asked, seeing his body covered by the vibrant colours that the billboard projected.
"What for? No one else is watching," he smirked, turning to look for something on his drawers.
You bit your lip, still watching his body move, every muscle of his legs that tugged with his walk as he pretended to search his drawers. He looked at you through the corner of his eye, letting out a soft laugh.
"Baby, stop eye fucking me," he muttered shyly. "It's making me hard."
You bit your lip harder, trying to suppress a smile, but your core was already throbbing at the sight of him–his large cock was stirring up, stretching up slowly.
"Can I help you with that?" you asked eagerly, practically drooling at the sight of his cock getting harder by the second.
Seokmin turned to face you, still some steps far from where you were sitting on his bed. "Mm, I was thinking of waiting until we actually started having dates and stuff," he confessed, but the tip of his cock was already darkened in a reddish pink.
You smiled sweetly at him, looking riddled with the dilemma he came up with himself. "We can start dating tomorrow," you suggested innocently.
He chuckled softly, moving from his drawers to you. "That bad you want me, baby?" he asked, closing the distance until his knees where brushing with yours. His cock so fucking hard that was pointing upward and inclining to the side a little.
You couldn't resist any further. Your hand grabbed his cock, which was completely hard now and pumped it a few times, making him sigh shakily. You saw his face, as he tilted his head to one side when you used a hand to rub the tip of his cock that dripped in his precum, smearing it all over his soft and warm skin.
"Yeah, that bad," you replied before guiding his cock to your lips.
You slid your tongue around his cockhead, tasting his precum before you took him inside your mouth, your tongue gliding across his length as you tried to take him to the hilt. But you decided to take it slowly, your hand pumped at the length you couldn't reach with your mouth, starting to move your head back and forth slowly.
"Fuck," he whispered, grabbing your hair at your scalp his hands, tugging gently. "You take me so well. So fucking good."
The sound of his voice made your core pulsate a little, and you hummed on his cock as you pulled your head back, hollowing your cheeks before swirling your tongue on his tip and pushing your head as far as you could, until you felt the tip of your nose touch with his pubic hair.
Your darted a look at his face, he was looking at you, his throat bobbed and moaned softly when you pulled back again while hollowing your cheeks and swirling your tongue around his cockhead before pushing in again.
"Mmmfuck. Keep doing that, baby," he muttered, one of his hands moved from your hair to clean drool from the corner of your mouth, his other hand worked on grabbing your hair as efficiently as he could.
You complied, but you started doing the same movements faster. The sounds coming from your mouth as you sucked him off resounded on his bedroom, mixing with the soft sounds coming from Seokmin.
"That feels so good, baby," he hummed and you could sense that it was taking all his strength not to move and start thrusting his cock in your mouth himself.
You kind of wanted him to. To grab your head and start fucking your mouth hard and fast but you knew you weren't ready for that. Each time his cockhead reached your throat you had to breathe in through your nose, his cock so big that you could barely work your mouth on it without gagging.
He cleaned more drool from your chin, using that same hand to get some tears from your eyes. "Can you swallow, baby?" he asked in a strangled tone.
"Mmm-mmph," that was all you could make out in agreement while you still had his cock stuffed in your mouth.
His hand moved from your chin to join the other one grasping your hair and you knew he was about to cum from the taut look on his face. His breath hitched and his mouth parted a little, letting out a groan, blinking slowly as he dumped hot spurs of cum on your throat and you swallowed every single drop of it.
"Good girl," he whispered, gathering more tears from your cheeks with one hand. He let go of your hair gently to cup your face and slowly pull out from your mouth.
He bent down and sealed your lips with a kiss. You moaned in response, thinking that he would taste himself in your tongue as his slid in your mouth. But he didn't seem to care and moaned softly, pushing his body on top of yours, making you lay in his bed.
"Your turn, baby," he groaned, taking the shirt you were wearing on his hands and you arched your back for him.
He removed it and quickly went to get the sweatpants he lent you, which were already ruined in your own arousal. Seokmin saw the glistening streak smeared all over the crotch of the inside of his sweatpants and smiled before throwing them on the floor.
He got up from the bed and knelt before it, your body shuddered with a warm eagerness when you knew what that meant. He yanked you down on his bed, grabbing you by your thighs and you placed him on his shoulder, earning a proud look on his face when he saw you anticipate him.
His hands pressed gently on your lower belly before he dipped his head down between your thighs, licking a stripe on your wet pussy. You moaned loudly and took his head with your hands, your fingers tangling on his wet hair.
Seokmin immediately knew how to work his tongue on your cunt, so he wasted no time and started lapped his tongue in your folds, wet sounds coming from the interaction of his tongue on your core, licking your arousal as if it were his favourite meal.
You cried out, arching your back on his bed. Your legs were already shaking, your body building up towards your release. The tip of his tongue made its way to your clit, teasing it and nibbling at it with his lips until he got it to swell before he expertly started sucking at it, pressing his tongue on it and moving his head up and down lightly.
"Seokmin–," you called in a high keen whimper, "f-fuck, don't stop. Please, baby, don't stop."
He hummed gently, complying as if it were the only thing that mattered. Your body started trembling more as your orgasm shook you, washing over you in warm waves of pleasure that had you arching your back and calling his name loudly.
You breathed hard, body twitching on his bed uncontrollably as his mouth worked on you until he felt your limbs relax. He planted sweet kisses on your thighs and removed his hands from your lower belly.
Panting, you opened your eyes, feeling your lashes wet in tears and blinked until you saw Seokmin's body hovering on top of you.
"You're okay?" he asked and you nodded. He dipped his head again and kissed you softly. You hummed in his mouth, tasting your taste on his tongue as it lapped your lower lip and tongue, dominating the kiss.
"Seokmin," you mumbled in his lips.
He pulled away with a wet sound from breaking the kiss.
"I want you," you whispered, using a hand to push his wet bangs away from his forehead.
He smirked. "How do you want me, baby?"
You rolled your eyes, a smile spreading on your face. "Fuck me, Seokmin. Make love to me," you mumbled, searching his face.
"In that order?" he asked with a breathy laugh.
"In whatever order you want," you muttered as he bent to plant open mouthed kisses on your mouth, then down on your jaw. "I just need you inside me, please."
"Mmm," he hummed as his mouth reached your collarbones. "My pretty girl, so impatient as always," he muttered as he reached your tits.
His hand and mouth teased your nipples, kissing and tugging at them softly. You moaned, your hands finding his wet hair again.
"Please, baby," you whispered. "Jus'need you."
He chuckled, moving his mouth to the crook of your neck. "Keep calling me that and I might give you what you want."
You were still placed in one side of the bed, your ass almost hanging at the edge of the mattress, your legs wrapped around him. Seokmin had one of his knees placed on the bed and one foot down on the floor for support. It seemed an odd position but, you decided not to budge.
Then his lips pressed a wet kiss on your sensitive spot, gentle kisses trailed from the crook of your neck to your ear lobe. He heard you moan and sigh as his lips travelled back down to the crook of your neck, kissing your tender skin gently.
"I want you to mark me too, baby," you whimpered, grabbing the back of his neck as he licked your neck swiftly.
He hummed and complied almost instantly, his lips starting to suck at your soft skin, making you moan in pleasure and approval that you'd have his mark on you.
Seokmin marked you on both sides of your neck, just in the points he knew you liked the most and then you felt his hips come down and rest the lower half of your body on top of yours and between your thighs. Then he pushed his hips on yours, his cock sliding between your pussy lips, practically gliding in your arousal.
You bit back a moan at the feeling of his hard cock smearing your pussy in your own slick as his lips marked your neck.
"Seokmin, please," you whimpered when his cockhead pushed at your entrance briefly, sloppily before resuming to slide between your pussy lips, teasing your clit too.
He smirked, you could feel his lips on your neck as he hummed, again, as if he were actually considering your pleas. He pulled his head back, placing an open mouthed kiss on your chin.
"Please, baby. Fuck–fuck me. Make love to me. I need you so fucking much," you pleaded, thinking that you might sound dumb in your high keen whimpers and sobs.
But his cockhead stopped at your entrance again and pushed in slowly. You were so wet that he practically eased himself in, stretching your gummy walls and making you moan in the process of sheathing his cock inside you to the hilt.
His mouth parted a bit, looking at your face attentively as you cried out in pleasure, the feeling of him inside you was so good that it made your eyes water. Then he took both of your legs, and you knowingly helped him place them on each of his shoulders.
Seokmin stroked one of your legs as he eased himself in again shallow thrusts. "You take me so well, baby," he said, pulling his hips back and thrusting in with more depth.
You could only utter a half moan in agreement as his hips rutted against yours, then he pushed his body forward, pressing your legs against your chest as he thrusted his cock inside you, filling you up so deliciously that you couldn't help but cry out in pleasure.
"You feel so good," Seokmin whispered through gritted teeth.
He took one of your legs and rested it on his shoulder, pushing inside you again so deeply that you felt your body melt in a wave of pleasure. "Mmm, you too, baby," you whimpered. "So fucking good."
Then he started to pick up his pace, plunging his cock in so hard and fast that you felt your breath escape from your lungs. You cried out, your hands holding on his duvet in fists, feeling his cockhead hit a spot within you so deep, so deliciously that your eyes welled up in tears.
"F-fuck. Seokmin–," your voice came out in a broken moan. "Right there, baby! Don't stop, please."
You heard him groan and your eyes found his sweet ones. The plunging of him inside you felt so good and so controlling that your sanity started to slip from your mind. The pressure from your orgasm taking over you so hard and so unannounced that you didn't have a chance to warn him.
But he could tell from the loud cries that left your mouth, and the clasping of your walls around his cock, so erratic and tight around his girth that had him groaning your name with a raspy voice.
Through teary eyes, you watched him blink slowly, the tip of his tongue hung slightly on the corner of his mouth as he cursed and moaned softly before cumming inside you. His cockhead buried in the glorious spot inside you as his hot spurs of cum coated your gummy walls.
But he was still on a mission.
He eased your legs back down. "Scoot back, baby," he commanded and you obliged, moving your body to the centre of the bed for him.
You used the movement of your bodies to look at his body. Painted under the lights of the billboard in front of the building, you could see that his cock was still hard, glistening wet in both your cream and his cum.
You swallowed hard at the sight of him as he placed his knees on the bed, his tall body standing in front of you.
"You're so fucking beautiful," you muttered, still feeling like you were coming down from your high.
Seokmin chuckled breathily. "You too, baby. So fucking beautiful," he muttered as he slot himself between your thighs, pressing loving kisses on your face.
He slid himself back inside you, eliciting a moan from you that was muffled by his mouth on yours. Your hands were down on his lower back, feeling his hips rutting on yours slowly, almost lazily but it still felt so good, so perfect.
"You're okay there?" he asked softly when he pulled back from your lips.
"Mmmyeah, 'm okay baby," you muttered, moving one hand to cup the side of his face as your eyes absorbed his soft features under the pretty lights from outside.
You bit back a moan, hearing the squelching noises created by his cock pushing deep inside your cunt, the wet noises of your juices and his cum inside you sounded so good that you felt the need to see it too. Seokmin heard your low whimpers and the movement of his hips stuttered a bit.
Seokmin took your hand from his cheek, intertwining your fingers in his and placing it beside your head. The thrusts of his hips against yours were methodical, and almost like clockwork he started to rut on you faster.
You wrapped your legs around him, your other hand found the back of his head, caressing his soft dark hair before pulling his face to yours.
Seokmin rested his forehead on yours gently, his breath brushing on your lips. "I can't get enough of you," he muttered in between hot kisses he planted on your face. "M-might never do."
A moan escaped you, feeling a wave of both pleasure and warmth flood inside you. Your lips crashed with his, kissing him fervently as he made love to you. Passionately, hard and fast.
"I feel the same way," you sobbed. "I need you so much. It drives me crazy."
He moaned in a mixture of pleasure and agreement, a soft smile spread on your lips, feeling your breath hitch before Seokmin pulled his chest from yours, letting go of your hand to grab your hips without stopping his ministrations on you. "Cum with me, baby," he muttered, moving his hips against yours lazily.
Your hand slid where your bodies were still connected, your two middle fingers found your clit that was so covered in your slick that it was almost hard to rub it without your fingers slipping. But you pressed hard on it, your walls clenching hard on his cock as you let out a long moan.
You succumbed to a sweet, long orgasm, crying out loudly as his cock kept pushing in, riding your high and causing his. Seokmin also groaned loudly, thrusting hard and deep as he dumped his load inside your walls for a second time, his face and collarbones covered in a faint layer of sweat, chest heaving heavily.
You felt your body pulsate with his as you came down of your high. You too were breathing hard, your body slumped on his soft duvet, feeling also covered in both your and his sweat. You watched Seokmin still on his knees before you, slotted between your thighs.
It was so fucking hard to tear your eyes from him. Hell, the mere experience of being apart from him for even a few days was unbearable. Also, the care and consideration he demonstrated showed the depth of his feelings for you, too. So, maybe he was just as crazy about you too.
The lights of the billboard outside painted Seokmin's face in shifting shades of blue and pink. As you watched him, his lazy eyes, his sweet smile spread and the dimples under his mouth became more pronounced.
He was so fucking beautiful that it made your chest ache.
"God," you uttered in a broken sob. "I love you so much."

Hello! This ask is way too long, I apologize 🥲
This is about your post regarding the albatross, and @bettyshoweduptotheparty’s addition (I wanted to send this ask to both of you but I prefer being anonymous, sorry I’m shy); if either of you (or anyone else) want to talk about this song, please do, here’s your excuse to do it. Mainly 2 things I wanted to talk about / ask.
1. So, I didn’t know the original line from romeo and juliet, and I hadn’t understood the line “a rose by any other name is a scandal”, and now I’m wondering if the reason I don’t understand many lyrics is that I’m missing the reference. I’m sure it wouldn’t be the only reason, my interpretation skills are rather limited, but I would love to find out. So if anyone wants to make a list off the top of their head of taylor lyrics that reference something, I would love that so much. If anyone would like to do it, please include the obvious ones, good chance of me not knowing it (wish I could blame it on english not being my first language but, again, probably not the only reason). But anything from english literature, and references to popular sayings, I probably won’t know even if it seems obvious. Of course this would be an extremely long list and very time consuming to make, that’s why I’m asking if anyone can add some that they remember off the top of their head. I would absolutely not oppose if someone wanted to make a complete list, though.
2. After gaining some insight on the rose line, I wanted to understand it in the context of the song etc etc and once again my (lack of) interpretation skills are failing me, so if anyone can help me out with the meaning of some other lyrics in this song. “Wild winds are death to the candle”, I figure it’s a popular saying (like “one bad seed kills the garden” in the next part), but I don’t really understand what point it’s trying to make. Next we have “one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen”, “only liquor anoints you”, and the one I’d like to know the most: “devils that you know raise worse hell than a stranger”. Also the whole bridge (😭 look, I said the interpretation skills were poor) “and when that that sky rains fire on you, and you’re persona non grata, I’ll tell you how I’ve been there too, and that none of it matters”.
Okay, I guess this is it, I’m sorry it’s so long, I really won’t hold it against you if you just delete it.
Goodbye <3
oh dear sweet anon, your ask is not too long and i am very happy to respond! i'm sure @bettyshoweduptotheparty will be as well! thank you for writing!
taylor references so many things in her lyrics, and they often have multiple layers and interpretations, and that's what makes it so fun for me to contemplate and discuss them - i'm always discovering new meanings, even years down the road! and our wonderful brilliant mutuals here on tumblr are constantly discovering new meanings and drawing parallels that really deepen and enrich my experience of taylor's songs. i've been here 4 years now and i won't be leaving because i'm constantly learning about linguistics and art and symbolism and (lgbtq) history.
her music is amazing because it can be enjoyed on a surface level of fun and beautiful music, but you can also dive down the rabbit hole and learn things that are so much more complex and nuanced and universal than just what people she's dated or who she's writing about. imo, she is so much more brilliant than most people realize rn. it's funny because she's like the most popular successful beloved artist in history and yet i don't think most people even begin to know how brilliant she is, or appreciate the art she's been making!
i'm not sure if a comprehensive list of references exists yet, but that's definitely something i would love to do someday! can you imagine the tome... but i think tumblr is a living evolving compilation of references like that. taylor herself has said that she puts easter eggs into her art that people won't understand for years (as we have seen with things in rep, now knowing her conflicts with BMR and SB) and things about her private life that we cannot know now that she may or may not share with the world at a later date.
but i think you may be asking about literary and idiom/phrase/language poetical references? some people may have already created masterposts and analyses of individual songs and lyrics, and if anyone has or knows of any offhand please send them my way and i'll reblog them! but yeah, we're all collectively constantly finding new references which is why i can never leave this hellsite 😂 i'm constantly learning! and especially with this heavily poetic and linguistically dense new album, i'm sure we'll be mining it for YEARS! and that is just so fun and exciting and beautiful to me.
i hope i didn't go off on too many tangents! and you've inspired me to want to start an intensive comprehensive analysis of ttpd and all her music! so yeah in conclusión, that's a great goal, to make a compilation!

1 Year Anniversary "Why Can't You See What You're Doin' To Me?"
Tumblr media
According to my AO3, tomorrow, Sept 20, will mark 1 year since I posted chapter 1 of this WIP. Crazy how time flew. When I first started, I thought it was probably going to be a one shot or maybe only a few chapters at most, I never thought it would be 36 chapters and counting. It's been quite a journey to say the least. Before Elvis busted through my writer's block last year, I had little faith in myself that I could write a long story with an intricate, detailed plot since I had been dealing with a long bout of awful writer's block. But, here we are, 1 year later and I have proven to myself that I can in fact write more than just short one shots.
I'm so thankful for every single one of my readers, y'all are amazing and wonderful. I have appreciated and loved every single bit of feedback/interaction that has been sent my way either on AO3 or on here whether it was kudos, likes, reblogs, comments, all of it. Feedback is what keeps us writers going, especially on the hard days where we struggle with self doubt or imposter syndrome. So thank you, thank you very much. ❤ And my quiet readers who might be shy or nervous to interact please know that I appreciate you just as much. I have been a quiet, shy reader too in the past so I understand and that's why ALL of my readers mean the world to me.
I've also been the shy, quiet writer and recently was dragged out of my hermit shell kicking and screaming (kidding, well, only a little kidding haha) and encouraged to be more social on here by some of my fellow amazing and talented writers in this fandom and for that I am so grateful. So thank you especially to @thatbanditqueen, @peskybedtime, @shakerattlescroll, @ellie-24, @be-my-ally, @vintageshanny, @from-memphis-with-love, @whositmcwhatsit for inviting me to participate in writing prompt games and just over all encouragement, y'all are MVPs. Also kudos to @shakerattlescroll 's Canva skills since she made the WIP's cover art.
All that said, once I have finished this WIP, I want to know how much interest there is in more stories with Elvis and my OC Jane. I have already done one for a writing prompt game and I had a lot of fun with that so I would love to do more. I know a couple of my readers have expressed interest in more stories as well. So dear readers, tell me:
(Reader tag list under the cut, as always, let me know if any changes or updates need to be made, thanks!)

(I know I've posted this official art before but I don't care, it fits the occasion)
Tumblr media
It's my 1 year yume-versary with Belial today! I felt like being a hopeless romantic (especially after seeing this art again), so I wound up thinking about the process of how this happened. And while it's 99% coincidences that make me happy, when put together like this they do form a love story...
While I got into GBF because of him, the actual act of falling for him "as myself" (for lack of a better way to put it) was a lot longer. Four years, in fact! It was half "I just like him with Djeeta and Lyria better" and half "Nah, he wouldn't like *me*, I'd be too shy".
Cue 2022. XD;
By which I mean, I'm not sure when in summer it started, but all of a sudden he kept showing up in my dreams (as Oribe, his semi-canon school AU self). "Oh cool, that hasn't happened before", I thought, thinking nothing of it. It seemed a good reason to write him and Djeeta in a similar setting; I'd take it.
And then I started noticing that Djeeta wasn't involved. "Well, maybe she's there but I'm seeing things from her POV this time"... ^^;
Months before the Oribe dreams, I kept dreaming about Summer Belial months before we got the Summon, which is funny anyway, but those were still focused on Djeeta. My subconscious really wanted me to have fun with Oribe/Belial, and it was going to bludgeon me until I did. At the same time, two things happened:
A particularly powerful dream about Oribe!Belial where he really wanted to take a selfie with me and kept insisting "I want to see your face, don't hide~"
The "Belial advice column for GBFest" appeared
The former was A Lot, but the latter was easily compartmentalized: "Just write the letter as if you're part of GBF's world". It took a few tries, because I had to remember kafabe (i.e. these letters were being sent to "Belial", not the devs), but I did it!
I burbled about how he'd always gotten me out of writer's block, because of course, and made absolutely sure not to overthink my heart racing while imagining sending it in canon. It was in English, down to the pen name "Shy Writer", and knew it probably wouldn't get picked for the GBFest segment.
"Just the fantasy is enough," I thought, forgetting what "yume" meant.
Fast forward to Jan 2023!
GBFest is here, it's fun whether you're there in person or not...and I'm catching up on Day 1's stream after falling asleep. ^^; I found the "Belial answers fanmail" segment and was just enjoying the spectacle. Here's a video of it separate from the massive stream one:
youtube
Someone had sent in something about being shy/nervous about who they liked, very likely him. (Also they called him "Beli-chan", which is adorable.) Belial read it normally, but his response (at 4:13, yes I've kept track of it)...well...
He let out probably the deepest, sultriest chuckle we've heard from him yet, which is saying a lot, and then added "'Shy'? How cute (kawaii ne)~."
Again: it's all coincidence, of course. Just a lot of convenient circumstances that eventually lined up into a fantasy narrative that makes me happy.
But boy did it not matter in that moment, when I felt like a tsundere who'd been found out after a whole season of UST. XD
It felt like there wasn't any need to deny it anymore. Nor to make excuses that were never going to hold up, as long as I kept denying that sense of fun to my own detriment. Or, to be extra sappy about it--it was as if Belial had been seducing me throughout '22 to the beginning of '23 and had now finally gotten the point across to my very dense self-insert/OC.
I've been enjoying myself a lot since then--going out more, trying new hobbies, just being happier in general. Could that have happened without this as a push? Maybe. But it didn't happen until I "had food at home", so to speak, which feels telling.
I think we as a species need space in our heads for imagination and play, and that varies from person to person. Along with writing, mine just happens to be (day)dreaming about the Primarch of Cunning acting like a bird of paradise and/or seducing me and my self-insert OC into semi-reasonable sleep schedules.
So, yeah. Happy anniversary, Belial. May there be many more!

I've started to try to create some OCs but I've been too shy to talk about them yet as making them doesn't come naturally to me... So here is Vi'thari again, my BG3 character! He's a half drow abjuration wizard who hates water and is notorious for getting himself injured while trying to protect others

@david-reinbacher tagged me thank youuuuu just the other day i was thinking about how i wanted an excuse to talk about myself LMAO
Tell me about:
1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey
i've spoke about how i first got interested in hockey so i won't rehash that, but what hooked me was honestly the behind the scenes content. behind the b was my best friend when i was a baby fan, i absolutely loved the content. even now, that sort of behind the scenes stuff is still my favourite content posted by teams
2. Your first ever fandom friend
my first hockey friend was shoshana (@/kempny) but they aren't on hockeyblr anymore and we haven't spoken in years unforch
3. The jersey you would most like to own
this is boring but my dream jersey is just a regular hischier home jersey
4. YOUR player (you only get ONE so choose wisely)
i am predictable. obviously it's nico. i've always felt like being a fan of the devils, for me, is like returning to the comfort of your home. nico's like that for me too. i think, no matter what team he plays on in the future, seeing him on or off the ice will give me the same comfort that coming home does. soz for getting sappy, he's just my guy
5. A pairing that deserves more fic
like. i'm a mattdrai girlie and i will never say no to more fics. but i am also tragically stuck in 2017 and would therefore go absolutely insane for more niconolan fics.
6. Your favourite on-ice moment
this is going to sound so stupid because i literally wasn't even a hockey fan yet, but adam henriques goal against the r*ngers in the 2012 ecf that sent the devs to the finals... i knooooow its such a dumb choice cause i wasnt a fan but. god. i cant explain how much that moment means to me even looking back retroactively. i get goosebumps every single time.
THEN
link someone else's art/fic/etc that you love & think everyone should check out
I HAVE A LIST. here's three from three different mediums. @jonasiegenthaler's insanely beautiful nico art inspired by a quote from his tribune article. @ghostgeno's jack eichel 'what i got' hockey poetry post. and @stevenstamkos's fic 'and i saw stars' which is half taylor hall/jordan eberle and half taylor hall/adam henrique and entirely taylor hall character study. i love all of these so much, none of you will ever know how much i respect you and the things you create.
AND
link something you made & are proud of & want people to see
so unforch i'm not part of the creative side of hockeyblr but like. go read the 2018 drama post i created at the end of 2018. esp if you weren't a fan at the time. it's my most popular post and i love how it complies so much history from that year that most of us would probably just forget about.
alas i will not be tagging anyone because. i think? everyone i would usually tag has already been tagged. also i'm shy :( idk who is okay with being tagged :(

15 people, 15 questions
Thanks for the tag @ozais-lobotomist 😊
1. are you named after anyone?
I don't think so?
2. when was the last time you cried?
Well you see my boss sucks ass so there were a few rage tears earlier this week.
3. do you have kids?
Absolutely the fuck not and I never want any. If a creature was growing inside me I would simply say no thank you.
4. what sports do you play/have you played?
My mom made me play volleyball in high school (which she never would've done if she'd known how gay it was) but I was too much of a geek so I only lasted for one season.
5. do you use sarcasm?
Yes and no. A lot of what I say is sarcastic but I also think I'm a very earnest person. I've been told I'm uhhh "hard to read."
6. what’s the first thing you notice about people?
How much personal space they're giving me.
7. what’s your eye color?
Blinks my big brown eyes at u
8. scary movies or happy endings?
Scary movies WITH (relatively) happy endings.
9. any talents?
My gaydar is unmatched.
10. where were you born?
The hospital.
11. what are your hobbies?
Hiking and dykeing. Photography. Making silly little art that maybe I'll post here someday. Gazing at images of Korra.
12. do you have any pets?
One itty bitty hardened criminal kitty.
13. how tall are you?
Approximately one and a quarter standard-sized sedans high.
14. favorite subject in school?
History/social studies. It's interesting to think about why the world is the way it is, and often history is up for interpretation/the dominant narrative we're taught doesn't tell the whole story, so there were plenty of opportunities to argue with teachers😇
15. dream job?
Something outside please for the love of god.
Can't tag anybody because I'm having a shy girl moment but if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged🫵

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last ten people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals & followers!! <3
Thank you my friend 🫂 I hope you have been well! 1. Looking at Azure reassures me to keep going, she is my babey and I tear up just thinking about our inventible departure ;^;
Tumblr media
2. My partner ~ we have been through a LOT even still to this day but it is comforting to know we both want things to work out in the end. We're not perfect, we will never be, but I adore my love and want the best for them. I'm hoping by next year when I graduate that we finally make things more official 💍
3. Giving myself self help? OWFJWOF entering my final semester with a paid internship was not easy, the past 3 years has been such a strain on myself that anytime I consulted with someone LITERALLY
Tumblr media
I should have gotten help and aide A LONG TIME AGO - my journey has not been easy and I'm glad I finally got the courage to ask for help. I am getting aid, loans are scary BUT HEY, no money right now is scary. I am currently seeing a therapist, and it's been a good change of pace! Last semester I joined a therapy group and I'm glad it made me open up more, highly recommend to those who have pondering on it! Overall I'm glad I'm putting myself first, whether it's due to better secure myself in getting more income or self confidence, it makes me happy at the end of the day!
4. Plants, I've started a plant collection! I'm hoping to post about them soon on here, I've posted about them on my insta stories so once again mentioning that I'm more active on there! I'm hoping by next year to git rid of my dresser in order to fit a bookshelf of sorts there and have all of the plants together in one place,,,,it's been okay so far but want more space to make more green in the room!
5. I guess, overall, fandom life? I talked with one of my friends recently about their beginnings in posting art online, and how GOOD and FREE you feel when you do? I'm a VERY shy and cautious person, so it's really hard for me to engage in fandom because once I do I either overshare or have no filter (look at me right now oversharing fjwoifjwojf) but it's so freeing? It's so great to be able to go online and search up fandom content on your interests, whether it's in the form of gif sets or fan art, it's KNOWING you are unloading fandom stuff and being able to 'fan' about it. It's strange how something 'normal' to you is something completely abnormal to someone else, that was how the talk felt to me, but I'm glad to see that no matter the age or era - it's never too late to start!

So it's about 6 hours until midnight here, and I want to link to my favourite original posts from this year. I participated in two (2!) challenges, and I've always been kind of shy in actively participating in a fandom, so sending a form to ask for a bingo sheet was so odd. Of course I also had a very hazy idea how bingo works so that was also odd.
Here's a few non-shippy pieces that are dear to me plus some Codywan art (also dear to me ha) 1. The Fishnet Tights Post that I spent entirely too much time on
(The reason I spent too much time on it was because I was stupid and did a lot of things the hard way and had to redo them again) 2. The No-Order 66 AU
I wanted to continue this and add Obi-Wan brawling with Leia in the background but kept putting it off so maybe next year? (Who am I kidding I'll completely redraw this next year if anything) 3. The Everyday Life and Struggle of Obi-Wan Kenobi
That tea is not going to drink itself.
4. Codywan - The Painting
Loved making this and painting the background even more than painting Obi-Wan and Cody. Which is rare because I suffer from the "3/4 angle portrait with single colour background" disease.
5. Codywan- The Animation(tm)
I'm pretty happy with this, since I managed to put in everything I wanted, and even finished it. 6. Codywan - I Moustache You Something
The last Codywan of this year. I don't really have any ideas for more art, so I'll need to go through some prompt lists and see if anything hits me hard enough.

Daily Log: 2/19/2023
Paragraphs ahead for: Sleeping habits, Ed Edd n Eddy fan comic progress, etc...
I've come to allow myself to sleep on on my weekends, instead of forcing myself to get up early then, too. I mean, as they say: "It's not how much time you have, it's what you do with it." I mean, who gets more done in the day: the person who does 30 minutes of work in their sole hour of free time that day, or the person who gets only 5 minutes of work done in their entire day of free time? In other words, maybe it is better to let myself get some extra sleep, instead of tiredly getting up as soon as it's sunrise. I'm also trying to avoid being shy about taking naps, too, and listen to my step-dad's advice about "listening to your body." I just hate sleeping time away.
One reason: I prefer putting that time into productivity instead, like creative work. Hopefully, the decreased fatigue, so far, results in better productivity. Speaking of, I'm finally reaching the end of the base sketches/outlines for the fourth page of "Puppy Eyes and Doll Eyes" (first page). It's a lot harder to complete it, when you have to draw more "advanced" poses and the like, such as a "back 3/4" view or "1/4 view" (whichever it is), and more people in each panel. Well, at least things always go faster with official outlines and coloring-- okay, maybe really official outlining, but still.
I've been thinking about posting "previews" to the work, and other pre-finished drawings, but I feel like that'd spoil things. Guess that means you'll all just have to wait and see what kind of torment Claire's about to go through, at the hands of Sarah and Jimmy. Also, I dunno why, but it brings me sadistic glee whenever I see the small pup being the receiver of some wrath: I still laugh (at least internally) whenever I re-visit the Getting Your Goat chapter image of Rocko sending her sky-high, and I especially love the panels of Sarah and Jimmy cruelly playing around with her in the aforementioned and upcoming comic page. No, I don't actually hate my character-- especially when she's my mascot and favorite to use --I just find it fun to have her injured and the like, evilly enough.
No, I doubt any of you will need shovels for Claire, by the time that fourth page comes out, I already did say Sarah and Jimmy likely wouldn't be as interested in harming Claire as they would playing with a (practically) combined dolly and stuffed animal. Oh, but these still do not look like the faces of mercy, do they? For crying out loud, may I remind you: acupuncture is their main weapon of choice in this Ed Edd n Eddy AU, something that involves controlling another's body in some form via the right pressure points? Don't get me started on the "puppet strings" fan art sometimes depicts them with. Plus, their fan designs there scream, at least to ME anyhow, these are a duo that may be the ones wearing the "Dollies" title, but THEY don't intend to be the actual "dollies" for playing with.

Midsummer Masquerade Prompts
Tumblr media
SO! I'd like to open things up to find some folks to interact with Evander for the Midsummer Masqurade Prompts. I'm much more invested in pairing him with OCs than LIs (though if for some reason the response on this is thin - I'll fill with LIs.)
My goal is to do one prompt a day - so once one (or more if it will suit the image) prompt in a day is filled, the others will be off-limits unless... I feel like doing something different I suppose. If you desperately want your OC with Evander for something, don't be shy - if there's an overwhelming response to this I'll hold some ideas for later things, it's not as though Evander doesn't have fun in his own time as well, and I've been wanting to open up things for suggestions.
BIG big caveat that I'm not promising anything on this - I've had a rough year thus far and if things come up I can't avoid I may be unable to complete things in a timely manner - although I'll probably finish things up even if late. Not sure if these will be sketches, colored sketches, or finished art. There's a chance I could do writing as well if the idea is too big for an image.
I'll strike days off as they're claimed.
Prompts:
Day 1: Baths - Group Sex - Orgasm Denial - Food Play (@fullyfunctionalapprentice - Cecelia)
Day 2: Exhibitionism - Lingerie - Collars - Impact Play (@the-iron-orchid Jinana + @apprenticevida Vida)
Day 3: Outdoors - Role Reversal - Pet Play - Bondage (@bottomvalerius - Donna/Sam tentative)
Day 4: Voyeurism - Suspension - Magic - Humiliation (@foxfirefallout - Ell)
Day 5: Toys - Praise - Temperature Play - Furniture
Day 6: Role Play - Overstimulation - Dirty Talk - Sensory Deprivation (@vissentasenadz - Calum)
Day 7: Shibari - Anonymous - Body Worship - Marking (@xx-sharpfawngz-xx - Adina)
Bonus: Primal - Hunter/Hunted - Net - Animal Play (@vesuvian-disaster Heron + Valerius)
Reminder that Evander is almost always a dom and will be considered as such for all of these scenarios. BUT! If you would like to throw a character at him who is also a hard dom, simply give a sub as well (can be an OC or LI) so they and Evander can tag-team.
If you'd really like an LI involved in ADDITION to the OC - that's ok too, just let me know in what way.
Responses can be as asks or directly to this post!

Aahhh, thank you for tagging me @vivaislenska !!
1. Your favorite member of TBB is:
Crosshair
2. Because:
He immediately had my full attention! I like characters who are prickly on the outside, but protective and soft for the people they love on the inside. His whole character and story arc has been so compelling, and I just want to wrap him in a blanket and keep him safe
3. You identify the most with:
Some of Tech and some of Echo
4. Because:
Tech in a way that I'd rather bury myself in a datapad and be in my own head for a while, and I also recognize the struggle with social interactions. And Echo, cause I have a voice of reason that sounds exactly like him
5. Your favorite minor character from the show:
Hmm probably Mayday
6. Because:
He's a true leader type, protective of his men, welcoming and inclusive to his equals, sees through the higher up BS, and has a humorous edge
7. A TBB-centric piece or post of yours that you are most proud of:
Omega taking selfies on the Marauder :)
8. Because:
It came together spontaneously from some sketches, and I like the whole idea of her taking selfies. I also thought the contrast from Tech to Crosshair was just funny
9. Link so that we can appreciate it:
link
10. A TBB-centric piece of art that slaps so hard you enjoy (and why):
Omg, I can't choose, there's so many! I have to shoutout @shyranno cause her comics are the reason I'm here and drawing fanart. I found them shortly after watching TBB and they brought me into the fandom
I also love Tech in a poncho by @echojedis , Angry Tech by @wrenkenstein and all the tbb with tookas art by @cloneenthusiast
11. Link:
see above
12. A TBB-centric fanfic that gives you life you enjoy (and why):
There's also a bunch! But for gen fics, I love this Crosshair & Hunter moment by @questforgalas
13. Link:
link
14. A TBB headcanon or trope that is 100% canon to you:
Ohhh, I find Tech being aroace extremely fitting, Crosshair being smoker coded, Omega picking up swearwords from Echo, the way Lula came to the batch from shy's comic, Cross and Tech being twins and very in tune with each other
15. Color(s) you think would suit if Crosshair gets "Mercenary" armor:
This is so difficult cause I've wondered about it before!! Orange for sure, and maybe a combination of whites and greys?! IDK, that's why I haven't drawn him like that yet haha
16. One thing you NEED to see happen in Season 3:
Tech lives, and Crosshair and Hunter hug COME ON!!!
Too many to tag! Join in!!
@freesia-writes @starrylothcat @thattoothpick @alabyte @mythical-illustrator @anxiouspineapple99 @queen-jiru @cloned-eyes @amorfista

Well, it's time we got to know you better!
- My name is Lena (you can also call me Helen), I am 19 years old and I am from Moscow. I am an illustrator, as well as a designer in the field of information technology (at the moment I am studying at the art college in the 2nd year). I have 6 years of experience in writing stories, scripts and quite a bit in staging plays. And I can also guess on cards, on coffee grounds, on water with a wax candle, and cook medicinal decoctions.
- With regard to my interests, I will highlight some:
1) The world of medieval fantasy
2) Full-length and short cartoons
3) Mysticism
4) The art of the great Renaissance artists
5) Myths and legends of the whole world, but especially of Ancient Greece
6) Old TV series or movies from the 70s to the present day
7) Something related to the dream world or the astral
8) Monsters (from vampires to any hybrids)
9) Documentary and criminal stories
10) Recordings from VHS-cash
11) Psychological thrillers
12) Character personality analyses
13) Philosophy
14) Religious rites
15) Gothic architecture
16) Indie games
17) Design of clothing, interior and decorative items
18) Samples of pathologies from the kunstkamera
19) OC-s of friends and favorite artists
- Basically, I draw and write stories on multi-fandoms, but, in addition, I develop my own universe (I've been working on all this for the third year).
- I am an open person, but a little shy and shy. I can't always dare to write first if you seemed interesting to me, but if I do, I usually just write a big post on my page. Nevertheless, if you want to talk to me or ask about something, feel free to write to me, I will answer (perhaps not immediately, due to some busy time, but I will answer)
- Now, perhaps, I will write about some things that should not be done:
1) I prefer mutual respect on the part of everyone (that is, both on my side and yours), so I will ask you not to write me all kinds of swear words or respond to my posts aggressively. This is a very unpleasant gesture, and I think if you were in my place, you wouldn't like it either. So NO AGGRESSION in my direction, PLEASE
2) I can draw anything, except for those things that I find DISGUSTING. If you suddenly ask me for an order that is somehow connected with those things, I will simply REFUSE to fulfill it.
3) When I post photos from real life, for example: photos with my face or something mundane, like working on projects or lying on the couch with a cat, please DO NOT WRITE me VULGAR/INTIMATE SUGGESTIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT in the comments. This is considered an INSULTING GESTURE towards me, and I will not tolerate such cases at all (and I think everyone who sees himself off, too). I hope everyone has clearly understood my position.
4) LGBTQ+ communities are treated well here, but if there is a MISUNDERSTANDING between me and a representative of one of these communities, then please just EXPLAIN to me your point of view or experience in relation to this or that problem so that we do not have scandals and everything is fine.
Tumblr media
Well, I think that's all you need to know. Thank you for paying your attention to this, it is very important to me.
I love everyone very much and have a good day to everyone! UwU

Putting a list of social anxiety/generalised anxiety disorder recovery goals I've been mentally setting myself here so I can keep better track:
- 2022 Goals -
Complete:
[3/3] Buy (and actually wear) clothes outside of my comfort zone
[1/1] Dye or cut my hair differently and/or try different make-up looks
[2/2] Try an activity that involves turning up in a place full of strangers and doing it as a beginner where other people might be observing me
[2/2] Go to a party alone rather than as a +1 and don't shy away from mingling
[3/2] Shout/sing in front of a group of other people
[3/2] Ask for accommodations for my mental health in serious/professional settings
[3/3] Record my face on video as an artist and post it online
[12/12] Initiate enough of a rapport with co-workers that they want to greet/catch-up with me when I clock in
[9/8] Turn up to some meet-ups alone with new people
In the near future/work in progress:
[10/10] Assert that I need/want something to be a particular way or can't do something without being overly apologetic about it
[3/3] Join a voice/video chat with people I'm not already IRL friends with
[15/15] Openly mention personal information about myself to people I don't know well without waiting a long time to gauge if they'll react negatively to parts of my identity/background/health
[4/4] Respond to any aggressive or bullying people with the appropriate and assertive reaction to their behavior instead of freezing
[3/3] Join some kind of short course or lessons in something new and attend them
[4/4] Stop and directly ask a homeless/vulnerable person if they need anything (e.g. something from the store) rather than feeling bad about being unable to help more because of my own anxiety, giving money without talking is always good too but it doesn't count
[8/8] Say something unprompted to a stranger in public that's "off script" (i.e. instigate an interaction such as making a joke or asking a question)
Difficult/long-term ones:
[0/1] Post a video of my art with voiceover
[10/10] Introduce myself to some local people in the art industry with the intent of making business connections (specifically in person)
[3/3] Engage in regular voluntary/activist/charity work that's actually "on the ground" and collaborative with other people
