#a man madly in love with hope aaaaaaaa

His arms instinctively brace around a fluttering chest. Vigor grips his coat, unable to speak, and afraid that even if he does, his words will falter and break to the racing rhythm of a beaming heart. It takes a moment for him to realise he needs to do something, anything. It was a wisp of hope amongst the unending dark. Seeing them again was something he never dared expect, and yet no less imagined, time and again, during those long nights in the wilderness, hiding from his family.

      Iago is nervous. But they've always been nervous. There's an exhaustion there that is all too familiar, both personally and seen amongst the refugees. He can only hope it is due to the Shadow curse, and not, like his own, borne of years of having the spirit eroded. The thing that concerns him most is how reserved they are. They remember him, right? They're not just being polite, surely. Please remember.

      But Vigor cannot feel anything other than grateful. Their distant demeanour is all that stops him from racing onto a hug.

      How they've changed. Vigor can only hope time has been kind to Iago, despite appearances. Time drifted him away from all his troubles, but not without having to fight for it. He was thinner now, and despite his best attempt to resemble the gentleman he once was, his face was weathered and his haircut scruffy in the back. But it was a small price to pay for his freedom. Besides, why would he want to look the same, anyway? Vigor is grateful to no longer recognise the man who once haunted his reflection.

      Pain once held close to his chest had fallen bare, too tired to grip it as he did when they last met. The pain in his eyes was raw, only for his gaze to soon ignite as a smile pulls and wavers under his moustache (one thing that hadn't changed), yet lit up his dark honey eyes with radiant joy.

      ❝We were making our way to the Gate. It's been...trying...to say the least,❞ careful not to say too much, least he make them worry more. Iago needn't know where he's been or how he was living prior to the tadpole in his skull. They deserve to know that he would have contacted them, given the chance, but will save that story for when they have calmed down. ❝We're doing what we can about the ❛True Souls❜ in Moonrise.❞

      Despite the years apart, and the dire circumstances, Vigor soon finds himself put at ease by the familiar company. After all, Iago was his oldest friend yet living. ❝How have you been?❞ You already asked that. His voice is gentle and soothing as his posture slowly begins to relax. ❝If you're not busy, I'd really like to catch up... I owe you an explanation, and an apology. That is—if you're free,❞ Vigor frets.

      ❝Can I get you anything? Some tea, perhaps? I'm sorry. I'm—I missed you. Just glad to see you again...❞

Hiii hope you're well 🫶🏼

I really really loved the svt doing your make up 🥺 honestly getting make up done is so relaxing and it can be so intimate (me when lol)

I have a suggestion for a svt reaction bec you see I have a thing for hands, like the hands are one of the first thing I notice about a person so I wonder how svt would react to their s/o randomly grabbing their had and kissing it 🥹

randomly kissing svt’s hands 🫶🏽

a/n: HI ANON i LOVE this request omggg. i have so many things queued but i HAD to write this rn rn

edit: i’m literally biting my lip as i write this bc FAWK this is such a cute idea i need all of these men’s hands in marriage rn

seungcheol:

❥ he loves holding hands so he doesn’t question when you grab his hand

❥ he’s about to lace his fingers with yours when he feels you bringing his hand up to your face to kiss it

❥ but he does malfunction a little bit because his brain is thinking: wait i’m supposed to do that to you

jeonghan:

❥ you can hear his typical “ayy” as he watches you

❥ he won’t admit that he’s a little flustered

❥ you only find out that he is when he tucks his hair behind his ear and you notice that the tips of his ears are pink

joshua:

❥ watches you with the most endearing smile

❥ lets you do you what you want but still leans in close to your face and asks, “what’s this for pretty baby, hm?” AAAAAAAA

jun:

❥ so so confused but he doesn’t pull his hand from you (because he never would)

❥ “what’s this?” he asks as you’re bringing his hand up

❥ “mm, nothing babe” you hum, placing a light kiss to the back of his hand

❥ “oh, okay?” he replies, pink dusting his cheeks

hoshi:

❥ LOVES IT

❥ blushing so bad but he isn’t even embarrassed

❥ goes “oo” as your lips make contact with his skin

❥ “does this mean you have a crush on me?” he jokes, making you drop his hand and smack his arm

❥ but ofc he catches your wrist and pulls you into him so he can properly kiss you

wonwoo:

❥ you could do anything to him and he’d go with it

❥ smiles as you kiss his knuckles

❥ he might not comment on it but he’ll give you a few extra kisses that day

jihoon:

❥ you were chilling with him in the studio as he was going over his work

❥ without thinking about it too much, you took his hand to give it a little kiss which grabs his attention

❥ he hums in surprise and he’s so flustered that he’s immediately asking “am i not giving you enough attention today? i’m sorry baby give me a minute-” as he’s already starting to close some tabs on his desktop

❥ “oh, no! jihoon, i just felt like doing it!” you quickly explained, but he’s still closing off his things

❥ “i’ve done enough work today anyways” he decides, assuring you

minghao:

❥ so so giggly as the slight foreign feeling of your lips brushing against his hand

❥ so smiley even as he’s asking “what’s this? you don’t usually do this”

❥ hair ruffle right after you do it

mingyu:

❥ you tease him a little as you run your thumb over his knuckles

❥ he’s wondering what you’re doing but it’s also not entirely new

❥ it’s when you’re lifting his hand that he’s already blushing because there’s no way you’re about to do what he’s thinking

❥ “what’re you doing? baby, what’s this?” right as you hold eye contact and kiss his hand

❥ for a pretty big and buff man, he feels like putty in your touch, he’s covering his face with his free hand because he can’t even look at you with how pink he’s getting

❥ “so i can’t even kiss my boyfriend’s hand?” you tease

❥ “not when it makes me like this!” he whines (definitely do this to him again)

seokmin:

❥ you couldn’t help but kiss his hands god they’re so pretty AAAAAA

❥ for seokmin, you took both of his hands in yours, making him raise his eyebrows, “oh?”

❥ casually, you place on kiss to his left, then one to his right and his eyes follow your ministrations

❥ best believe his heart is hammering and he’s blushing madly

❥ “do you have any idea what you do to me?” he asks, swearing that he’s falling even harder when you coyly shake your head no

seungkwan:

❥ you kind of adored him when he was in a state of rambling about his day, even when he was tutting about the member teasing him but especially when you could tell that he felt like he did well. you were watching him from your couch as he paced your living room

❥ but there’s a moment when his eyebrows are furrowed because he’s talking about this dance move that he’s supposed to do on top of singing something quite difficult

❥ “it’s supposed to go something like this..” he murmurs slowly walking you through the dance steps, quirking his head as he wonders how he’ll do it

❥ he plops down onto the couch next to you when he’s finished walking you (and himself) through the whole chorus, leaning his head back. “i just don’t know how-”

❥ you take his hand because he’s so clearly stressed and place a kiss to it. his words stop as his face heats up from the sudden gesture

❥ “why all of a sudden?” he murmurs, looking away from you because you caught his so off guard

❥ “because my baby’s so stressed and i know you want to avoid getting wrinkles” you chuckle

vernon:

❥ also so chill with it — would also probably let you do anything to him

❥ a small smile as you randomly kiss his hand

❥ “this is new” he observes, smiling wider when you giggle

❥ “just felt like it, why, is it weird?”

❥ he shakes his head, “no, not at all”

chan:

❥ “w-what, what is this?” he’s mumbling as you unexpectedly take his hand and kiss it

❥ “just wanted to give you a kiss” you reply simply

❥ he’s so pink but he’s trying to quickly think of a way to recover

❥ “well, why don’t you give me a real one” he decides, surprising you by pulling you into him by your waist
