miraculous ladybug!minsung

because we deserve it

masterlist if u want it lol

this is way too Long (over 6k yike) and it’s Complicated (u should probably watch the show before reading this if u havent) and probably woulda been better as prose and i use the word yeet way too many times but u kno what

this my life and these my choices my very gay choices

aight lads

miraculous!minsung au !!!!!!

aka flirty pun-making Confident Gay chat noir!minho who’s a real sweetheart irl and amused, taking-nothing-from-no-one ladybug!jisung who is The Ultimate Panicked Gay over his crush irl

featuring: chan as the Nino figure aka minho’s buddy and felix as the Alya figure aka jisung’s Relationship Help and BFF

ugh ok so minho is the son of a well-known music producer in jyp

and guess who can sing beautifully? and dance beautifully?? and exist beautifully??? minho!!!!!!!

minho is an idol!!!! hes a soloist and his father produces all his tracks

but minhos also under very strict surveillance all the time bc yall know sometimes fans get a lil yikes

also hes always practicing (hes a tired boy let him rest)

it’s safe 2 say ,,, jisungs a lil starstruck

just a lil tho haha!!!!!! he just finds minho ,,, talented that’s all

and gorgeous and kind and charming and smart and totally bf material

also he loves producing music in his spare time, and he rly admires minho’s dad for his work

jisungs parents run a bakery I lov that aesthetic with sungie bye

jisung is rly good at making bread, his dad taught him to make it by hand and now he the Master

super friendly with all the customers when he works in the store front, buddies w all the regulars

(including hyunjin, seungmin, and jeongin who are jisungs friends/classmates and stop in a lot to just hang out, drink hot chocolate, and do their hw)

jisungs pretty much friends w everyone except u know the rich snobs who didnt have to get into their school on a scholarship and who look down on jisung for working in his parents’ bakery

but u know what? jisungs gotten good at ignoring the haters bc they dont matter

tl;dr jisung is the purest baby who loves everyone with his whole heart and brings in baked goods for his friends just bc he loves them that much ;;;;

and minhos a boy who loves to sing and dance and smile but gets tired sometimes

I’m not gonna change their superhero personas from the og show’s because minho fits as chat noir and also I’m lazy and squirrel is hard 2 put into a superhero name I’m sorry

jisung as ladybug means he needs to think on his feet a lot, hes a good problem solver, and he is almost too willing to sacrifice himself to help others

minho as chat noir means he needs to take care of ladybug, who in turn takes care of seoul

chat noir ,,, chat noir is the only real way minho feels like he can be himself

like ya he pours himself into his dancing and singing and he loves it, but there’s so many cameras, so much makeup and editing and his formulated smile hurts sometimes

but as chat noir, with a mask on and a name he chose for himself, he feels so free

at first, it was just chat noir saving seoul, and he was happy with that; alone and anonymous and doing good for the community

at first he was rly apprehensive towards master fu when he told chat noir he’d be getting a partner

this is his literal only chance to be free and hes getting a partner? yike

but his partner is this guy named ladybug with big shiny eyes and a heart-shaped smile and ok minho can be a little more open minded towards the concept

fast forward a year from their meeting and debut as superheroes

minho is head over heels for ladybug

just ,,, the way ladybug is so selfless and witty and level-headed and calming and laughs so effortlessly?? talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

jisung tho? head over heels for minho

the way he holds himself even tho hes tired? the way his eyes light up when hes doing smth he loves?? the way he is so endlessly kind, even to ppl who dont deserve it??? talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before

that’s right lads it’s a love square y'all’ve seen the show

ok now the story’s actually starting sksjdj

one day …

minho wakes up late like usual

he cant help it!!! hes just tired from practice ,,, and he couldnt rly sleep last night ,,, bc he was ,,,, thinking abt ladybug ,,,,, oops

he ends up washing his face, throwing his clothes on, and yeeting himself out the door lmao

he does his makeup in the car on the way there ,,, it be like that sometimes

and who needs breakfast anyway?? Definitely Not Minho Hahahhaahhhha

he comes into first period (english) just in time and hastily takes his seat in the second row

minho sits next to this guy felix in first period who falls asleep half the time but it doesnt matter at all bc hes fluent in english

when he sits down, felix is talking to his best friend jisung, who’s turned around completely in his chair, eating a croissant happily while listening intently to a story felix is telling

“so then I see this dark shadow cross over the street, and guess who it is???? LADYBUG that’s who!!!!!!! that guys so cool!”

jisungs eyes widen, and he smiles. the sight’s endearing for some reason

“you saw him? that’s so cool! what abt chat noir, did u see chat noir?”

jisung breaks off a part of his croissant and offers it to felix, who accepts it and shoves the entire thing in his mouth

then he turns to minho, and minho doesnt know why but it feels like jisung sees everything abt minho in just that gaze

but jisung just smiles, and breaks off another piece of his croissant, then gestures it in minhos direction

“do u want a piece?”

why is felix smiling so widely?

minho nods, and takes it, murmuring “thank you”

JISUNGS HEART IS GOING ASBNNSJDJF BYE

minho doesnt understand why felix throws a pen at the back of jisungs head, nor why jisung turns around and hisses “shut up lix” even though felix didnt say anything, but u kno

It Be Like That Sometimes

the day progresses, as days do, and then it’s over, and minho’s walking with woojin and chan towards the main entrance

they get to the bottom of the stairs when “minho hyung!” sounds behind them, and minho turns to see felix running after them, hair flopping everywhere

“is it true?” minhos abt to ask what felix is talking abt but then felix taps something on his phone and shows minho a tweet. “is ur dad really doing a music competition?”

oh lmao minho forgot that was happening

“yeah!”

“so ,,, whoever wins will … will get to record their song with you”

minho groans internally ;; that’s so embarrassing ;;;;;;; he doesnt want to be a reward

“yep!” he says, instead of groaning

felix beams and bows, “thank you, hyung, see you tomorrow!” before bowing to chan , then running off again

felix yeets out his phone n puts that ish on speaker so he can dm jisung the tweet

“sungiesungiesungie did u see it”

“see what hoe”

“check ur dms hoe”

jisung SCREECHES

“absndjjdjsjdjsjjjjjjjjjjfffffffff?¿? PRODUCE???? SONG?????? MINHO????? UGH BRB IM GOING TO CRAWL INTO THE SEWER”

felix sees jisung pacing around the courtyard and hangs up

“hey let’s go home!!!!!!! we can drink hot chocolate and choose a song for u to submit!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ughf get u a bff like felix

as soon as they get home they go upstairs and jisung goes up into his loft bed and fetches that laptop to start sifting thru his music folders

felix goes downstairs 2 la bakery to fetch les hot chocolates

they squish together on jisungs beanbag chair and search for suitable songs

jisung sorts his music into folders labeled with one of 5 emotions :) :(

“cant do love songs ,,, love song with minho? I’d burst into tears ,,, or flames ,,,, or BOTH :O”

“definitely cant do love songs about minho imagine the disaster that would make of me”

“cant do sad songs dont want minho sad want minho happy”

“ahhhhhhhhHHHHhhhHgh”

“well what abt a song u think minho could relate to? like about ,,, the stresses or expectations on students and young ppl ,,, or maybe abt feeling trapped? I know his schedule is always pretty packed, and taxing”

:o “OMG FELIX UR A GENIUS”

“I do what I can”

so jisung gets to work!!!! he’s had a tune stuck in his head for a couple days now, and when he Gets Down To Business it basically writes itself

he and felix are completely relaxed

,,,,,,

until

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

haha y e et

a k u m a

theres a disturbance that they can hear from far away, and felix’s phone goes off with an alert for ppl to stay inside + stay safe

naturally, felix does the completely opposite

he lovs ladybug and chat noir!!!!!!! and he is Not gonna pass up a chance 2 see them irl!!!!!!

“cmon sungie come with me!!!! we can see ladybug! and chat noir!”

gotta think fast jisung

“im on a roll with this song :((((((((( i just wanna write now”

well who can say no to jisungs puppy eyes

not felix thats who

“ok!!! i’ll take pics 4 u”

so felix runs out; jisung stopped trying to convince him to stay home and stay safe a long time ago bc it never worked (he always snuck out to watch)

T I K K I ,  S P O T S  O N ! ! ! ! ! !

it’s transformation time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then it’s save seoul time!!!!!!

jisung yeets himself over rooftops to where there are bright flashes of light streaking around haphazardly and tries to see what’s going on

then, of course, there’s an arm around his waist

“good evening ladybug!” minho says brightly, spinning his staff absentmindedly and leaning his chin onto ladybugs shoulder

“hello chat noir ,,, u ready 2 save our city again?”

our city oof

ugh ladybugs so adorable minhos gonna combust

keep it cool, chat noir! u got this buddy!! get ur mans!!!

“sure am! u sure ur ready tho?”

minho watches ladybug swoosh his hair back, then crack his knuckles and jump off the building

minho follows suit, like always

gotta protecc the bf, u kno

ughfhfh minho cant take his eyes off ladybug throughout the entire battle

he gets slammed into the side of a building by a tendril of light because of it but whats new lmao

oh no wait thats gonna Hurt tomorrow at dance practice yike ://

well it is what it is

and it’s worth it bc minho can see and predict everything that could possibly hurt ladybug and Fight It off

whenever ladybug falls or stumbles or trips minho feels the urge to pick him up and never let him go ;;;;

dont we all lmao

and as ladybug leaps up into the air to give his final strike, minho watches, like he always does, and waits for ladybug to make it back down to the ground (like he always does)

minho jumps down to join ladybug, who just finished cleaning everything up, and who’s humming a tune minho’s never heard before

it’s rly pretty

and then he sings a line, “and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow” and Yike how has minho never heard the lohl sing before?? his voice is so beautiful??? help???????

“ur staring boi”

of course i was staring ladybug every time i see u you get more and more unbelievable

“and what r u planning 2 do about that”

“nothing, considering i have like 0.2 seconds until i change back! see u later” boy see u later blackpink is the revolution

ladybug runs off, but not before winking, then smirking, then actually smiling at minho, as if hes trying to make minho cry

minho basically has to go straight to dance practice, but the whole time he cant stop replaying that one line ladybug had sung

when he gets a break, he sits against the mirror and looks up the line on Le Google ,,,,, but Le Google doesnt have les answers ,,,, apparently it isnt from anything??? and it’s not like he can just ask

:(

whelp it be like that sometimes ig

so he goes home ,,,, and goes to bed late again ,,,,, definitely Not thinking of ladybug

back to jisung lol

he has to race back home so he can beat felix there and pretend he was in his room the whole time

on the way back he slips into an alley to transform back from ladybug to sungie, just so ppl dont see him yeeting himself through the bakery’s upstairs window and make Connections

he has 22 snapchat notifs, all from felix, so after he rinses his face with cold water to cool down and changes into his pjs, he watches all the videos

it’s weird ,,, to see himself from a different pov ,,,, and chat noir

u know what they say: if u cant dissociate in real life store bought is fine

felix bursts in a couple minutes later, looking like he ran all the way home

“i did!” he says when jisung asks before ASDSKAFJHing and talking about ladybug and chat noir for 298730 hours, until jisung looks at the clock

“it’s pretty late, ‘lix; are u staying over?”

“on a school night? nah. but i will stay over this weekend! good luck on ur song sungie!!!!!!!! dont stay up too late bby !” felix blows a kiss over his shoulder as he saunters out of jisung’s room and down to the now-closed bakery store front

jisung stays up late anyway

he needs to work on his song ok! !!!!!!!!!! inspiration isnt always this easy 2 come by, he needs to take advantage of it!!!! !!!! !

“what time did u even sleep last night? ?” felix asks the next morning @ school

“i finished the song, ‘lix!!!! well,,, like a first rough draft ,,, i finished the lyrics and the basic melody and figured out what i wanna use as the background instruments and –”

“sung. what time. did u go to sleep”

“ uhh h hh”

“sungie”

“ , , , , , , ,,,,,,,,, uhhhhhhhhh idk  ,,,, myb like ,,,,  four”

“H A N  J I S U N G” - felix, scolding jisung while pulling out the chair of the desk next to him thats been empty all year so jisung can sit down and laying jisung’s head on his lap and petting his hair

minho comes in and sits on felix’s other side, and doesnt seem to bat an eye at the very cute and soft and adorable sight

felix doesnt even notice bc hes so busy weaving small braids into jisungs hair

even jisung doesnt notice and thats how u kno hes sleeby

when the bell rings to start first period felix picks jisung up off his lap

jisung whines and doesnt open his eyes, but felix flicks him in the forehead before handing him his water bottle and a waffle from his lunch box and sends him on his way back to the first row for class

“mmmmm thamks”

“u better get some gosh darn sleep tonight or else”

and minhos just a bystander here and hes trying to focus on the grammar drill on the board but jisung still looks so tired and minho has the Urge to Protect

some ppl just need to be taken care of!!!

like ladybug, his brain supplies helpfully, but minho tells his dumb brain to shut up bc thinking of ladybug does Not help him focus

days pass

it’s pretty quiet in seoul, so jisung hasnt needed to save anyone lately

normally he’d be kind of bored and restless, but he’s going Maximum Overdrive mode on his song for minho’s competition

“but sung!!! ur song is already so good!!!! it’ll win for sure, you’ve put so much time and effort into it!!!!!!!!”

“thank u tikki but it needs to be perfect!!!! i need it to be good enough for minho to sing it ,,, if i even win :(”

“dont work too hard!!! remember to take care of yourself too!!!!”

i love tikki bye like what a sweet and supportive little flower A+ kwami??

“what if my song is good but my voice sounds bad? what if minho hates my voice?”

HE WONT BABY UR VOICE IS SO SO PRETTY ;;;;;;;;;;

but despite all jisungs worries, the submission date approaches steadily

minho tho

he’s restless too, from the silence in the city

he misses ladybug helping people, misses flying through the streets, being free

so to cure his loneliness, minho just throws himself into practice more and more

his dad warned him to not sing too much so as to not strain his voice before the song competition, so he dances the night away every night!

believe it or not ,,, hes nervous for the competition

like yea hes not entering it or anything ofc but ,,, hes just kinda nervous. no real reason but it be like that sometimes

but time waits for no one

the day of the competition arrives!!!!!!!!

jisung was physically forced into his bed the night before by felix and held captive there all night, so hes well rested but still anxious lmao

minho is not well rested but he has a really good under-eye concealer and some espresso and thats basically the same thing so

felix ends up having to be the one who writes the email to the submission email because jisung is literally vibrating in his seat

tikki peeks out of his hoodie pocket, just so she can give him an encouraging wink

“sent!!!!! now do u wanna go get some ice cream? i’ll drive!!!”

what a sweetheart felix i lub u bye 

it’s an agonizing week

minho can’t listen to any of the songs so it’ll be a surprise for him whoever gets picked

and he Still. Misses. Ladybug. :((((((((((((((((

but then his dad comes into his room and announces that he picked a contest winner

“omg who is it dad”

“han jisung!!”

“:o”

yes jisung i knew u could do it :,)

so since minho actually knows him, he gets to be the one who tells jisung he won!!!!!!!!

he’s kinda nervous about it even tho he has no reason to be yike

but!!! he forges on like a true superhero!!!!

and in first period the next day before the bell rings he leans forward and taps jisung

jisung turns around with wide eyes, and he smiles when he sees it’s minho (jisung has a really familiar-looking smile, minho notices; it’s really pretty)

“hey hyung! whats up”

“oh uh uhm so u know the contest??? the song one?”

“… ye ah ?”

JISUNGS TREMBLING BYE

“well ,,,, u won!!! congratulations!!!!”

“ ? ? ?  ? ?? ? ? ? ?? ? hm?”

jisung is 110% sure that he misheard, bc him?? win???

????????

whomst?

“u won! the contest! ur song was selected! im really excited to listen to it! oh, and sing it! i’ll be honored!”

jisungs not rly sure whats going on to be honest

“i what?”

POOR MINHO AHJKSDFS

he just kinda looks toward felix, who was watching the exchange with a delighted smile, for help

felix gets the message, thankfully, and says “sorry he’s illiterate” to minho before standing up to reach fully over his desk and cupping jisungs face and smooshing his cheeks

“jisungie?”

“hm?”

“remember that song u wrote last week?”

“yeah”

“and remember the competition u entered it in?”

“yeah”

“ur song won!”

“are u sure?”

“yep!! im sure!!!”

“hmm …”

so felix lets jisung go, and jisung turns back to the front and opens his english notebook to start the drill

“give him, like, five minutes,” felix says to minho, who nods. “sorry, it’s just ,,, he has a hard time recognizing something he’s done is actually good”

JISUNG ;;;;;;; - me and minho and felix, simultaneously

true to felix’s word, five minutes later jisung’s head snaps up

he looks back to felix for reassurance, who just gives him an encouraging smile and a nod

jisung smiles back, tentatively at first but it  f l o u r i s h e s  into a breathtaking, full-face smile

wow omg he looks so happy

minho hasnt ever heard one of jisungs songs (he never even knew jisung wrote/composed songs) but he is so beyond glad jisung won just bc of that smile

then jisung glances at minho, who smiles too, and jisung flushes but still glows before he turns right back around, back straight and listening intently to the teacher talking about the difference between gerunds and participles

minho feels warm the whole rest of the day :,)

later that day :)))))

minho invites jisung over to the studio after school ends!! they have a song to work on, after all

jisung has to go home to grab his music stuff so minho offers to walk him home (what a GENTLEMAN) but jisung denies

“i dont want u to have to go out of ur way! i’ll just meet u there! text me the address?”

jisung gets a text later on from an unknown number that says forgot i didnt have ur number lmao!! got it from felix :) heres the address

jisungs heart goes OOF

he grabs his laptop and notebook and puts em in his tote bag

then he grabs some cookies and puts em in a tupperware container, then yeets that into his bag too cause brain food!!!!

he also snatches a hoodie bc it might be cold! and it’s his favorite hoodie, so it can kinda be a security blanket of sorts

jisung shoots felix a text going to minhos!!! wish me Luck, to which felix replies ;-) ;-) ;-) ;;;;-)

he slips in his earbuds for the walk over, and he smiles at nothing at all

hes just so happy!! it feels like nothing can go wrong ever!!! he’s getting to spend time with minho, talking about music!!!! two of his top five favorite things together!!!!! what could be better?

jisung doesnt realize the address minho sent him to was the actual jype building until he gets there and checks the address

D: D: D: D: HE WASNT PREPARED FOR THE JYP BUILDING

but!!! he takes a deep breath and forges on

he deserves to be here!!!!!!!!! he earned his place here!!!!!!!!

he goes to the second floor, to the recording room all the way at the end of the hallway, and knocks on the door

omg what if he sees a member of twice here??? he’d Combust

the door swings open, and there minho is!!!!! in all his glory!!!!! he’s put on a hoodie and it looks so boyfriend that jisung wants to cry

minho immediately invites him in, and omg what a studio :o it has a bunch of monitors and sound mixers and there’s a recording booth and it’s all so professional and shiny and jisung cant believe he gets to use all this :,,)

there are two rolly chairs and a couch, and there’s a candle burning on a shelf next to a christmas cactus in a pretty yellow pot

the window’s open, and the lights are on but not too bright

“is it too cold in here? i like having the window open, but it’s no trouble at all if you wanna close it, just let me know ok”

“no i totally love the energy in here! a+ creative atmosphere”

minho sits down then, so jisung takes the other rolly chair, and brings his laptop and the tupperware out of his bag, then his notebook and water bottle

“i brought cookies!! theyre lemon shortbread!”

“oh, awesome! thank you so much!”

minho’s shy grateful smile omg hes so cute

jisung logs onto his laptop and pulls up the audio file of his song, but when he hovers the cursor over play he feels so nervous

this was ok over email, but in person? being able to see minho as he hears jisung’s song? that just feels so so intimate ;;;

“hey, don’t worry, ok? your song beat out a lot of others to win. i know it probably seems awkward, and personal, but i’m not going to judge this, or you!”

how did minho know omg

jisung smiles and nods, “just so you know, i’m not like a trained singer or anything, so it’s not going to sound anywhere near as good as you will, and it’ll sound better once it’s produced in here, more polished and stuff, cause the stuff i have at home isn’t this professional.” he lets out a laugh that only lasts a breath before saying “ok” and starting the song

safe 2 say

minho is Shook

the beat like ,,,, fills up the room, with this reverberating, almost underwater-like quality

minho is Enchanted

and it’s almost at the eight-count mark, and it feels like jisung’s gonna start singing soon, and minho is Anticipation, and then

,,,,,,,yikeyikeyikeyik

jisung hears smth outside ,,, he pauses the song and looks at minho

“did u hear that”

“hear what”

he hears it again, and his instincts are telling him IT’S AN AKUMA IT’S AN AKUMA so he tenses up

and when the window shatters (and takes some of the wall around it with it) jisung was lowkey prepared for it so on reflex he basically launches himself at minho, trying his best to cover minho w his body

what a hero omg

lo and behold: it’s an akuma

the blast from the villain was (either intentionally or not) aimed at them

jisungs gotta transform but hes also gotta get minho to safety ;;

but minho is way ahead of him, grabbing jisungs hand and leading him across the building and down the stairs

“here, gotta get u to safety ,,, i think i know who the akuma might be aiming for, so you should be ok here ,,, i have to, um, i have to go now, but text me after just so i know ur ok!!” theyre outside now, a good distance from the jyp building

jisung just nods, and minho just throws a smile, then “im sure ladybug and chat noir will be here in no time! they’ll have it under control!!”

then minho says he has to go

jisung, internally: “No I Must Protect You”

jisung, externally: “omg ok but stay safe!!”

he realized he has to transform somehow, and he certainly doesnt have the guts to just leave minho here alone so

T I K K I ,  S P O T S  O N ! ! ! ! !

lets get this bread, han jisung!!!!!!!

chat noir is already there when jisung comes up

“yo”

“yo”

whats better than this? just guys bein dudes

“do u know what caused the akuma?”

chat noir nods

jisung waits

“r u gonna tell me?”

he just smirks, the bastard, then “ya so this guy at jyp, think his name is lee min-something, had a thing, like a contest?”

“lee minho, but go off i guess”

mihno, internally: “omg ladybug knows me”

minho, externally: “ya so the akuma’s probably aimed at whoever decided the results of the contest were. ppl can get really beat up about losing”

“yikes”

“yikes indeed,” chat noir says, then offers his arm to jisung. “shall we?”

ughf gentleman of the century

jisung takes it, rolling his eyes and definitely not smiling fondly at chat noirs antics

and together they jump into the fray!!!!

it’s going just like a normal battle when minho’s fixation on ladybug gets the best of him

the akumatized girl sees his distraction and trips him up before freezing him in place

minho honestly just is ready to die. hes Accepted it.

hes pretty sure ladybug isn’t looking at him and isnt going to, and he already used his cataclysm and he cant exactly shout for help so what can ye do

but he doesnt give ladybug enough credit, because there he is behind the girl, and the girl’s reaching down to grab minho’s miraculous (which is in his necklace) when ladybug yeets his yoyo so it ties the girl’s arms to her torso

jisung, internally: nOT. ON. MY. WATCH. NOT ON MY WATCH

jisung snatches her flash drive and snaps it in half, watching it clatter to the sidewalk and watching the black-and-purple butterfly fly away

TIME TO DE-EVILIZE!!!!!!!!! (de-evilize? de-evilise? idk)

jisung captures that akuma in his yoyo and then opens it back up, letting the now pure white butterfly fly off into the sunset

no more evil-doing for u, little akuma :)

and then jisung casts that spell 2 make everything return to the way it was

chat noir unfreezes, and he basically topples over, so ladybug with his Swift Reflexes of course has to catch him

they end up ,,, a lil close ,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,

;)

then chat noir’s necklace beep beeps so he straightens up, rubbin the back of his neck and coughin

they do their lil nerdy handshake of course, then chat noir waves and yeets himself out of there

and then jisung remembers

minho

he’s gotta get where minho left him so minho wont be suspicious!!!! so he finds another dark alley to de-transform and catches tikki in his hands when she falls, tired out of her lil mind :,,)

he promises to feed her cookies asap, but now he’s gotta find minho!!!

so he wanders out, trying to look as natural as possible

“jisung? jisung!!”

omg it’s minho

“i’ve been looking for u!!” minho says, like thats not an Earth Shattering Thing for jisung to hear “are u ok? u didnt get hurt, did you?”

“nope im all good!! what about u? where did u go?”

“i just had to make sure my dad was ok ,,, he was the target of the akuma ,,,”

“omg i hope hes alright!”

“hes been thru worse tbh ,,, but no matter now! it’s all in the past!! now i can finally hear your song!!!” minho looks so sincere and earnest and enthusiastic ugh this boy is not good for jisungs heart

“ ,,,, u ,,,,,,,, u still want to?” jisungs eyes are wide and his mouth is a tiny bit open which makes his cheeks even squishier and more adorable

“well only if ur still up for it! i know it’s been kinda chaotic but i think it’d be a nice end to the night, dont u?”

and rly ;;; who is jisung to say no to that

so they head back

minho keeps sneaking super subtle glances towards jisung

smth abt him seems …… different …. like not in a bad way at all, he just seems more confident now? his shoulders arent hunched over anymore and it looks like the shadows have left his face

confidence is a good look on him, minho decides

the studio seems very quiet after everything, but all of jisungs stuff is still there, and the atmosphere lightens up very quickly with minho cracking lame jokes and jisung giggling that adorable adorable adorable giggle of his

minho opens the window back up (it’s gotten a little colder, so jisung finally slips on his hoodie) and they sit down and both eat a couple cookies (jisung sneaks two in his pocket for tikki) and jisung drinks his water before sitting up in his seat, running a hand through his very soft-looking hair

jisung looks nervous again ;;;

so minho does what any good friend would do !!!!

grabs his hand

“hey, sung, don’t be nervous! i’ve already heard the beginning, and i’m honestly really impressed already ok?”

“really?” jisungs eyes are so wide and shiny and minho wants to protect Forever and ever

“of course! youre like super talented!!”

blushblushblushblush

jisung hits play

it’s even prettier than minho remembered

and when jisung starts singing, he feels a whole lotta air leave his chest

HIS VOICE IS SO SO GORGEOUS IT SOUNDS SO SWEET AND LOVELY BUT POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL AND EVERYTHING HOW IS JISUNG NOT AN IDOL YET

and the lyrics are so resonant, minho cant help but find himself relating a lot to what’s being said and a little part of minho’s mind is wondering if jisung wrote this song to him

minho’s lost, he’s so lost in the push and pull of the song, until

“and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow”

wh

wH

WHAT

minhos trying his best to keep it professional but it’s kind of hard because ??????????? LADYBUG SANG THAT LINE

ladybug sang that line

minho did research, and it wasn’t in any already-existing song

so it’s an original line

this is an original song, by jisung

???????

minho knows what it means

D: D: D: D: D:

he didnt think he was going to face the biggest event of his life tonight!!

even after the final beats fade out, minho cant stop staring at the monitor

“uhm ,,, ah, hyung, what did ,,,, what did you think?”

poor jisung sounds so nervous ;;;;;;;;

minho turns to face him, and yeah, his hair color’s the same as ladybug’s and they’re around the same height, and his smile is blindingly bright too and it’s shaped like a heart, and his eyes are the same

“i’ve heard that line before” minho says slowly and contemplatively and completely without context

“hm?”

jisungs hands are trembling so he stuffs them in his hoodie pocket, moving until tikki is pressed against his palm

the contact comforts him poor baby ;;;

“that line. ‘and even if i’m slow, i’m worth the effort it takes to grow.’”

minho’s eyes are looking so intensely into jisungs aaaaAAAAAAAAA

“wha-? but i’ve never written it? or published this anywhere? the only time i ever sang this in front of someone other than felix was –”

jisung looks like a deer caught in headlights

theyre staring at each other, barely breathing, each one afraid to say it in case theyre wrong

minho takes the first step, leaning forward in his chair until their faces are less than a foot apart

jisungs looking down at him now, and theres so much want in his eyes

“is it you?” jisung whispers into the air between them “are you …. are you my chat noir?”

his voice is so small now

“yeah, sung, i’m your chat noir, always, always yours”

minho reaches up to cup jisungs face and jisung lets him, jisung leans into the touch and closes his eyes for a moment, like he’s been wanting this for ages

he has lmao

“can you kiss me, then? my minho”

god jisungs smile could outshine anything

“of course, sung”

ladybug’s here, he’s right in front of minho, and in addition to the brave, wonderful, witty superhero with eyes like the stars and a heart-shaped smile minho fell head over heels for he’s also this talented, sweet, shy boy with eyes like the stars and a heart-shaped smile

minho kisses him

they fit so well together

jisung is so warm, and soft, and they taste like lemon shortbread cookies together

minho moves his other hand to jisung’s waist, then his back, and jisung slides his arms around minho’s neck, and this is everything they’ve ever wanted

minho’s wondered for so long how it’d feel to hold him

and he has his answer!!

it feels: incredible

minho cant stop smiling into their kiss so they break apart ;;;

then jisung starts smiling ;;;;;;;

theyre just smiling and soft and happy and in love

later, jisung asks what minho thought of the song

“it was so so good like im not even exaggerating it sounded so real? but like the actual music sounded so ,,, unreal. and like the lyrics were something i could relate to so much, and your voice is unbelievable, sung”

jisung buries his blushy face into minhos neck, whining

“im serious, you’re so talented”

felix cries for twenty minutes when jisung tells him everything that happened

(well … almost everything. not the superhero bit)

jisung ends up crying too,,, it’s been a long night for him

felix stays the night, but they dont end up having gotten a lot of sleep

it’s a lot of jisung soft ranting about minho and felix being the supportive bff we all know and love and appreciate

“ah, sungie” felix says at like 5am, when the suns starting to rise “im so happy for you”

theyre curled together on jisungs twin size bunk bed and ya it’s a lil cramped but who cares

jisung hides his big dumb beautiful grin in felixs shoulder

“thanks, ‘lix”

minho kisses jisung on the cheek when he walks in that morning and jisung trips over his love for minho

for real he barely function in class

minho just smiles at him adoringly

his bf is so cute bye

they work together on the final version of the song most days after school

the studio version minho was supposed to record ends up being a duet once minho drags his father in to listen to how well his and jisungs voices fit together

“we do fit well together, huh” jisung says, when he’s all done polishing it up, curling up into minho

minho kisses his temple (im so soft for that bye) and just softly says “yep! we do”
