FIRST REAL POST ON THE PONY BLOG: A MODIFIED MAGIC SYSTEM >:D
in equestria, all magic can be traced back to 5 core elements, and 2 "super elements": light & dark magic, sky magic, earth magic, and crystal magic, alongside harmony & chaos magic.
LIGHT MAGIC, alongside DARK MAGIC, are 2 elements that hold dominion over all that falls outside of the sky. these 2 split off into fire magic, shadow magic, and (when both are harnessed via chaos magic) transformation magic. their respective pony races are kirin and batponies.
SKY MAGIC is what forms the atmosphere surrounding the planet equestria is found on, and is responsible for all weather on the planet. sky magic does not have any known submagics, but it does have one pony race; the pegasi. hippogriffs used to be a sky pony race, but their transformation into seaponies changed their sky magic into earth magic.
EARTH MAGIC is what flows through everything attached to the surface of equestria, & the earth as a whole. its most commonly-known submagics are plant magic & water magic. its main pony race is earth ponies, but you can find its magic in multiple other races(though to lesser degrees) as well.
CRYSTAL MAGIC is found in places with high concentrations of magic, typically forming crystals in the area. its used mainly to harness & contain magic in items as well as ponies; as crystal ponies show off in their magic retention abilities. it is also the only kind of magic capable of whithstanding magic-draining spells.
HARMONY MAGIC is the glue that keeps all other magics in working alongside one another. it splits off into the elements of harmony and(alongside light magic) rainbow magic. harmony magic is also necessary in the creation of alicorns, requiring one pony to accumulate a variety of different magics into themselves and also hold themselves together long enough for harmony magic to form & the transformation to take place.
if harmony magic is the glue that holds all magic in place, then CHAOS MAGIC is the solvent that breaks those bonds. when there is a lack of magic in a single place, all other magics in the area rush in to fill the void which often results in different magics clashing against eachother, forming chaos magic. when a pony gains chaos magic, they often end up lacking the abilities their race is supposed to have & sometimes gaining new ones. the "pony" race associated with chaos magic is the draconequus, a pony who contained & maintained a large amount of chaos magic on top of a variety of other magics to transform themselves into something unrecognizable. as of now, there has only ever been one succesful transformation, as its very easy for a pony to explode from the sheer pressure of that much magic in 1 body.
#owo whats this#mlp#mlp fim#my little pony#magic system au#<-good enough au tag i just thought up lol#had this post sitting in my drafts for a whilleeeeee so glad its finally typed out :)#ill prolly queue this & use the time 2 type out the pony races post since if got a semi shitty diagram i wanna clean up & show off#yea that sounds good#changed my mind im posting it now lol

I truly cannot believe Scylla when she says ladies never come to her shows. Hellânot even when you lured mortals? You're telling me you never drowned a single woman? Bullshit.
And on that note, a hades protag has never been less relatable than Melinoë's distaste for Scylla. Catch me belting along with every battle. Odysseus knows what's up.

It took me, ugh, MONTHS (2), to get to cleaning the two shrimp tanks I have... I had IRL issues going on that would have made it extremely difficult to do a water change especially while injured, and I just had to keep putting it off. It's just shrimp, so it wasn't like, the worst situation, especially since I have established plants and the tanks are a couple years old. There was just a lot of algae build-up on the glass, and, well... Let me just say it was not contributing to my mental health and well-being while the tanks were in that state.
I tested the water before I started cleaning and the parameters were fine (like, I could have left the tanks even longer if I would be okay with selling my soul to the Algae Collective), and the plants and shrimp look fine, too (I mean, I've obviously been keeping an eye on the tanks bc I sit right next to them). Actually, I'd wager to say that the plants are looking really great (the lilies haven't died off [yet? This is the longest period of time I've seen them stay... foliage... fol... foliated? Idk.] and the cryptocoryne in the 10gal is fucking huge and needs to be rearranged, just not right now). That fucking algae was a motherfucker to get off the 10gal (it's a plastic tank and I think that makes the algae grip harder than the glass 5gal).
[Also, fyi, depending on the tank's needs and stability, recommended water changes are a small one every week or every other week. My parameters don't seem to do anything dramatic, so I usually aim for a 20-30% water change every third week (just depends on how much vacuuming needs to be done and how cooperative the shrimp are with moving aside). So 2 months is still a lot. I still did the normal 30% ish amount, since doing more will risk the shrimp's well-being if there's a sudden change in everything, and my water parameters indicated a change was unnecessary - but I don't test for more than the minimum freshwater tests, so there could be a buildup of some mineral I'm not testing for, which is why the change IS actually necessary regardless of what my test kit says - because these tanks were evaporating a lot in summer, it condenses the minerals added with each water addition, even tho I usually top up with R.O. water.]
My back is fucking killing me lol. It has been killing me since spring when it 'went out' for the first time, and I'm not getting any relief, it sucks. But this had to be done.
The 5gal is looking pretty cloudy still, since the filter was super gunked up and I accidentally spilled gunk back in, so I may need to retest the 5gal parameters tomorrow just to make sure I don't have to do another water change, but it'll probably be fine, right? Shrimp love mulm and detritus. I did give both tanks a big ole algae tab for their trouble, tho. (I need a fuckening dish for the big tank. I really wanna clean off that white quartz rock again, but being white means it's an algae magnet, and it's just gonna go green again after a month or two.)
Anyway, shrimp tax:
I lov thees widdle oange bebies.
Wish I could take better pictures rn, but I am. Like. Dying. My recommendation: never live in an A-frame style room if you have the option. The wall above my tanks is slanted, and NOT fun for my back to bend underneath the wall for maintenance. (My only flat wall in the room is for my TV/PC.) Also, treat your back nicely, in general. I unfortunately have not had the option to treat my back nicely since spring (fall now), because 'when it rains it pours,' and heavy shit that needs to be moved will not move itself. Once I get a few more things in my room in order, I will hopefully be done with the IRL chaos, bc I have Halloween socks to knit, and I'm not putting that off for another year. (I'm still mad that I couldn't make the ones I planned last year. And I found more Halloween yarn I forgot I bought, so I'm gonna try to make multiple socks.) And I just really need to fucking chill and knit and stop having panic attacks and meltdowns.
#me earlier today: oh i should bleach my hair since i havent been able to shower for 2 days it wont damage it as much#me now: i dont know if i can even stand long enough to shower after this#anyway im gonna try to eat something and then shower and pass tf out.#maybe i shouldve taken a before picture to show how much i did...#...but i do Not want to remember 'that one time i didnt do a water change for 2 months' the algae was gross lol i couldnt even get it all#but honestly idc ab the back wall having algae as long as the front and most of the sides are clear#seriously the algae was textured like sandpaper tho. does algae do pearling? if it does then its calcium buildup too#edit while typing bc i looked it up. yes algae pearls. so the bubbles it was making were drying enough to cause calcium deposits#oH also lmao i found the tiniest pinch of hornwort left in the 10gal. idk why the hornwort doesnt like that tank but its hilarious that...#...that one little fingernail sized piece is still alive floating in there. i stuck it next to the lily but the shrimp will prob dislodge it#the hornwort in the 5gal is just freefloating i cant get that shit to stick#the shrimp love that stuff and they look like little birds in a pine tree#im in so much pain im procrastinating food lmao 'order pizza' crossed my mind but my jaw wont let me eat pizza so fml#anyway. just wanted to show an accomplishment even if its not a praise worthy one since i didnt go the extra 10 miles to water change sooner#awwww tho i love seeing them glide around the tank and now i can see them clearly its so chill#shrimp#aquariums#crustaceans#bugs#Cori.exe#Post.exe#Image.exe#also my therapist started cracking up this morning when i said like 'i can finally rest now tht i dont have a Saw trap bathroom to navigate'#seriously tho it was bad and then another issue in the bathroom came up 2 days ago but theyre both fixed now. my br is normal now.#im not normal tho (normal for myself i mean) and unfortunately thats not gonna be an easy fix but im trying#man can i ever make a post where i dont type a million words lmao. inability to focus and then i start typing more stuff#oh ab the hair bleach man my roots are so dark i just trimmed off the last of the bleach from last time so i got 2tone hair rn#idk when ill get to that. dependsnon my back. i already wasnt in a great state of being when i did the aquariums but i needed to clean them#ok i rly need to try n make food and shower before i start growing algae on myself

I think my favorite comments I get on my art are:
It looks like illiterations from a kids book
It's very "shaped"
And people tagging it as watercolor when I actually use pens and alcohol markers (and try desperately to make it look like watercolor haha)
#i also just love when u post something from a random fandom and u get all the fandom related icons and usernames#i think thats v fun. idk im trying to b in my recovery arc lol so thinking positive thoughts#i guess thats easy to do now but im due to lose my mind in the next few days bc it seems more and more like im#v sensitive to hormone changes. im already super tired for no reason. dont make me tired make me hypomanic. i prefer that#its way more fun to be losing my mind in a positive direction. i mean theyre both not great but ya kno#unrelated

#U Have No Idea How Much I Miss Her.#i need to start actually drawinf again its been a hellish 6 months#its really easy to just fall out of the habit of it#i used to obsess over never being someone who just suddenly stopped drawing for weeks/months#it scared me. like a core part of my identity would have to change for that to happen or would be changed by that happening#and then once i didn't draw and wasn't drawing i felt like i needed something to violently change about myself to get me to start doing it#again. but i didn't need that i just drew something again and that was it. like that stretch of time didn't happen#drawing is just an activity you can choose to do or not do and there are no consequences for whatever decision you chose to take but it felt#so serious to me it is like i viewed it like death#which i was right about in a way but mostly in how death is just a thing that happens and that it wont be that sudden and insane#you will just be and then not be just like how you weren't and now are. its just like me drawing or not drawing lol#but that comic of ht papyrus by jnpie where he's looking at the puzzles he used to make and wondering if he'll ever do that again. or if he#wants to. its like that feeling. it always sticks in my mind#i have like a fear of thinking about when i will no longer care about something i care about now and its so weird when. realize i stopped#wanting to do something and caring about it and. i feel nothing on account of no longer caring about it lol. but i know that past me#is currently looking forward at me now and terrified. this is unrelated to that comic a lot but its like. thinking about how i will change#words#mine#IM NOT TAGGING THE ART bc i wanna actually finish some of these pieces tbh and like they are just the backdrop for my thoughts...#feels so hashtag tumblr to talk to yourself about some vague ass feelings or situation that no one else will look at ugh thats like#The tumblr experience. but i love reading other's personal posts and tags though..

Guys why is rain world so good (<- rewatched some scenes and teared up on all of them)
#rat rambles#rain posting#god man. holy shit. fuckkkkkk#rain world may not be one of my token big interests but god does it just hit me so fucking hard whenever I do engage with it#I also think after rewatching some stuff that my general takes on how rain world's world works have shifted a smidge#which is also giving me some more ideas for saint hcs#I feel like the biggest thing Im seeing differently now is the concept that the saint has no beginning or end#one big theme of rain world is the way that all cycles eventually come to an end#societies iterators and even the lives of the animals that wander about#theyre trapped but within these cycles they still move forward and eventually fade just like everything else#but the saint doesnt. they never can. in that way they are a paradox#for when even time itself eventually fades what becomes of the being who will never be allowed to slow in their decent?#overlapping onto themself infinitely until what is and isn't them becomes irrelevant#have they lived many times or were they ever even alive to begin with?#at the end of the day they will never know. its a peace they wont ever find#as they are simply a lil guy who is stuck in a real mind boggling situation#anyways thanks pebbles dialogue for helping me get a better grasp on saint stuff have fun being dead buddy#it also makes me feel even worse for the echos because theyre likely in similar positions#not the exact same given Im sure none of them had the powers to fly and ascend ppl but still#in my minds eye tho theyre more themselves than saint is#for better or for worse#the rest of the echos are stationary. unable to move forwards or back#while the saint continues to spiral onwards and onwards in ways that break the very core of this universe#or smth like that idk. Im just rambling abt nonsense at this point lol#but yeah I imagine the sain to be both trapped and stretched across time#most things exists whinin cycles of cycles but the saint takes that concept to the extreme#most things much more so develop and change as time moves forward but the saint kind of just is#but like. is a lot. like there's a lot of them. but that them is stretched like super thin#they overlap themself and keep stretching to infinity#and with that sort of overlap it makes sense that in what conscious state they do have they simply experience each overlap eternally

Ppl gotta understand that just bc you do x thing because you're mentally ill, doesnt mean your actions dont have the same effect if you weren't. Like if you've been manipulative to your friends, you cant get mad at them for not sympathizing entirely with you when you go on about how they dont accept you for your mentally ilness. Regardless of your reason, you were still manipualtive, you fucked with peoples trust. Theyre still gonna have trust issues about you even if its bc of whatever mental illness you have.
#im not saying its cool for them to abandon you but cmon. you have to consider sometimes other people and what they can handle#bc if you keep manipulating your friends or whatever theyre gonna get used to being manipulated and expect it from other people#whatever the case. people have limits. your friends have limits. im not saying theyre always justified. im not saying your friends are#never abliest. but they do have limits. and if you're yelling at them all the time about being perfect or whatever you cant exactly#be surprised when they dip out.#like for example. im a p aggressive and angry guy. clearly. if youve seen any of my posts.#ive always got something to rant about. and while im not quite as much like this irl its still a thing about me. im very very vocal about#whatever injustice i percieve happening to me or others lol. but i can understand why me being intense and angry and ready to throw hands#at the drop of a hat would make some people want to avoid me. i understand it makes some ppl feel scared and unsafe.#its not something i try to do. i dont try to make ppl i like feel unsafe. i try not to be that way around ppl w those kinds of issues#but im not gonna throw a fit and be like 'you guys are okay with bpd until i get really really angry and call you a cunt'#like... uh... yeah. i dont blame ppl like that for dropping me entirely if im getting angry all the time around them and it triggers them#and i dont seem to stop or be able to stop.#sure its not great. sure i dont want to be as aggressive and angry around anyone let alone ppl afraid of that sorta thing. but this is#the current state of my being. its something im working on. and i can understand why some ppl cant handle me right now as i am.#idk. just. shit like that man#another example. im hella hella HELLA bad at communicating via technology. unless you're in front of my face my mind just forgets we were#even talking sometimes. this naturally will cause issues. how am i gonna get upset at someone for being mad i stoped responding#in the middle of a conversation? sure i didnt mean it. this is purely unintentional. however that doesnt change the fact of my actions.#it doesnt change the fact that that person might feel unwanted. i can apologize day and night but until i actually try to be more attentive#of my phone this is just gonna keep happening yknow. how is it fair to get mad at other ppl for getting mad at you over that?

@nightcrawlerzincorporated Exactly the point i was making with this post thank u đ„čđ
Season 6 // Season 16
#ive been fixated on this 4ever cuz i think its such a fascinating aspect of their dynamic!!!#but also to be fair like Tai said the twins couldnt even pull the plug on a nazi so BSJDBSNHS#i still think charlie manipulating frank and against the twins specifically is Very much baked in tho even now⊠and the PROGRESSION of it?o#watching Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender w this pov makes it SO interesting#i mean they also just straight up confirmed this in s11 w charlie changing the prescription on franks glasses#and i will bet u 100% that that is NOT the only case of this#like all the things where ppl are like âawww charlie does this for himâŠâ like the navigation tapes#cuz i think Yes it is coming from a genuine place. but also manipulative place of making frank dependent on him#and i dont want ppl to get it twisted like w the charden resentment stuff..cuz im not saying the two feelings CANT co eixst#they DO and thats what i find interesting but not a lot of ppl wanna talk abt the manipulative side nd thats fine but i rllyrlly do#doesnt mean the sweet genuine side isnt still apart of this. i just wanna talk abt this side of it Too#but also thats the whole subtext⊠how long until doing that for manipulation purposes becomes Genuine#its why they mirror macdennis!!! just different dynamics#im serious i think when frank moved in all of the bonding was initially a part of a still ongoing long con to get franks money#cuz that would fit w robs original vision of sunny âHOWEVER i think its only gotten more interesting#bc charlie is now GENUINELY so emotionally entangled in frank that its way more complicated now for him#and thats GUT wrenching to me i want it so bad#i made that one post paralleling charfrank to [redacted] and no one needs to see that but i still stand by the general sentiment NSJDBEJâŠ#aaand⊠part of me wondered if Inflates was foreshadowing for The End..#charlie does this shit and bc hes loyal like a dog he did this for not just him but FOR THE GANG#and so theyre all excited abt that but charlie is just sort of lagging behind#i can see the scene so clearly in my minds eye#cuz yknow. charlie has come to represent the gangs Conscience in a way#s15 ily sm#[queue that post someone made post s15 finale abt charlie being the foundation ..yeah]#which is so interesting how far hes come from s1 to THAT#again i think there should always be room for both the sincere charlie and how generally manipulative he is#i think both can and Should coexist#esp since manipulation comes The Most naturally to him compared esp to someone like dennis#dee is much better but charlie is still The Best at it⊠thats why frank loves nd believes in him the most LOL

Personal vent and ugly mental illness symptom talk
So, I should unpack this with my therapist, but shit's embarrassing, so I'm just gonna vent it out on the public internet lmao.
I was typing out a whole thing about how I KNOW I'm aromantic, and despite that, still have moments where my brain gaslights me into believing I'm in fairytale love.
I should preface by saying I have not officially been diagnosed with either additional mental illnesses I believe that I have (B.P//D and AD//HD [which lol being on AD//HD meds since antidepressants didn't do anything has given me some notable improvement, but I'm still without a diagnosis], nor Au//tism) DESPITE repeatedly asking multiple therapists multiple times and a psych like 100 times to give me a definitive yes or a no.
But holy shit. So I'm typing about how I've 'Favourite Person'-ed multiple people at multiple points in my life across all ages, and I'm like, okay, it's been a hot minute since I refreshed my definition of that, I should make sure that's still a thing and not something I just made up or has been dropped from the symptoms or whatever the case. I wanna make sure I'm using it right in this rant about how falling into Favourite Personing people in the past has made me believe 'wait, maybe I'm not aro, this HAS to be like the deepest truest love in existence, despite my years of knowing I'm aro.' Like, I'm so aro I once calculated out the date, months in advance, I was gonna tell someone I was dating that I loved them, only because it seemed like a socially acceptable amount of time to say it. I wasn't thinking about what I actually felt lmao. (And that was probably not a FP relationship, too, so I know that was absolutely an aro incident.)
Anyways, so I'm reading a couple articles to make sure I articulate my points about how it's conflicted with being aro, and I read about how people falling into having a FP will even hate that person for the slightest perceived wrongs. (I knew this, I just was thinking about the love incidents since that's what was related to my point about being aro.)
And holy shit. That just. Unlocked a memory I have about when I was an older kid, like probably 9ish (and older), I HATED my best friend of many years and who would continue being my bff for more years. Who was my everything. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I hated them. I would lie awake at night (insomnia too tho) thinking about how much I hated them and I couldn't understand why I didn't just stop being their friend and start hanging out with old friends more instead. I just couldn't do it, I wanted to hang out with THEM. I was so sick and feeling jealous of them whenever I found out they'd been hanging out with someone else one-on-one and I wasn't invited. Even when it was their own family. One time they brought me a plate of cookies by surprise for (before) a holiday that they'd just made with their cousin or something. And I felt so sick about how I wasn't there for that, it felt like an insult. I couldn't have put this into words, unless I just now read that point in an article and made a connection. It was so confusing, because usually the people who hated their 'best friend' was like, the mean girl kinda character who intentionally does it to hurt the innocent main character or something, but I was the one who felt wronged every time those feelings would come up. And this wasn't just a 'man it's so annoying when they do this specific thing.' This was active stewing, in a slow cooker, all day and all night kinda thing.
I was never romantically or sexually attracted to that person, but I probably wrote all this off as either unrelated sexuality or gender bullshit when I figured that out later. But knowing now that there was definitely someone (actually, I'm thinking of WAY more people as I'm typing this, and just realized why I stopped loving a band and started hating them 'for no reason' wow lmao) that I FP'ed who I definitely WASN'T attracted to, suddenly convinces me that I was probably right in suspecting B.P//D. (Or, y'know, maybe I don't have that specifically, and it's the symptom from a different facet of mental illness or whatever.) I've been so hung up over how I'm aro, sometimes ace, and then this 'only' happens towards people I am attracted to. Like, 'maybe it was love and I'm just terrible at it.' (No! It's not! Aro is correct! That's just the brain manipulating me to get another hit of dopamine off a FP! It's just easier to happen to someone I'm attracted to!)
It's no fucking wonder why I always worried about people hating me in secret, and it's because I was absolutely making myself insufferable because of that worry. I know for a fact that some people definitely did hate (or. Lmao. Shut up. Like, 'resented' maybe fits better) me for demanding constant attention that was never reciprocated by anyone I've ever met in my entire life.
I probably wrote-off so many symptoms as 'I was a moody teen and kind of an asshole.' Except it happened before and after I was a teen, too. I would have excused everything that happened during and before high school, when I should have been looking for these patterns I kept following for years after. It doesn't help that my first relationship was wildly toxic (mostly against me in this one case), and while I didn't feel particularly bothered by it after I got over the nightmare breakup, I just kept going 'What if it was the sole cause of all of this and I'm just repressing that?' Well, phew! No, it's not, that was thankfully just a toxic embarrassment, and not the source of all my problems. I was already on the shitstorm trajectory. That's a major relief. If you can call it that. I really don't like discussing that one, but not in a trauma way, more like a, you don't really wanna discuss pissing your pants on accident kinda way. Unpleasant to remember, wildly embarrassing to talk about, but ultimately not a life-altering event.
Ughhhhh. Maybe I should bring this (the mental illness not the relationship) up to the therapist. But like, I haven't been close friends with anyone in like 6 years or so, so I don't have any current or even recent examples about how being in friendships has always turned out Russian Roulette for me. My therapist doesn't seem to believe how bad it was for me to be in friendships where I was unintentionally FP'ing someone. Because besides the depression and anxiety (and mild OCD), I'm a totally normal person to her who's just dealing with shit health problems and grief (and frustration from being trans and not in a safe place to transition). Y'know, normal life problems most people will feel at some point, just chronic in my case. I may be weird, but I'm obviously far from the worst she's seen. I'm not uniquely mentally ill.
((Except the whole 'treatment resistant depression' diagnosis bullshit from the psych, but I'm learning it's not just mental issues I have that are treatment resistant lol.))
I tried talking to her about a small part of all this before, but IDK what I did wrong, she took it 100% as me being the one unintentionally wronged and not setting MY own boundaries (lmao), so like I don't know how to word this in a way she'd understand that most of my problems in this area were my own fault. (I mean that both negatively and neutrally, because it's an ugly side of mental illness, but not one I chose or know how to help.)
Not being in close friendships with anyone has had an understandably sane-ifying effect on me (barring the, y'know, depression/anxiety/OCD and baseline weirdness), which has gotten me trapped for the 5th time in 6 years of making my therapists believe I'm better off than I actually am. (I've done this to every therapist I've ever had before that, too.) But like, again, at least for the past 3 therapists and the latest psych, I AM actually better for not having close friends lmao. Only one therapist ever had one visit of me wanting to address these concerns specifically while they were currently active, and by the next visit, we had to shift exclusively to sudden new grief lol. (What a shitshow. It somehow always ends up that whenever I wanna treat an illness, it's like opening a can of worms, except the worms are firecrackers and I didn't set the can down and step back a few feet.)
Like, it obviously feels safer to not have close friends at all because there's no fear of abandonment if I have no one to begin with. And, genuinely, I operate better when I'm alone. But now that I've known safety, it's hard to imagine throwing myself back into the roulette wheel, hoping I don't land on red OR black. But fuck, man. It is lonely.
And being aro? It's freeing, and validating too, to have a word for it, but I'm not gonna mince words here, I hate it. I wish I could feel romantic love. Like normal, not mentally ill ""love."" I feel platonic love all the time, like for friends (not FP) always. I love saying 'I love you' to friends and meaning it. But I want to feel romantic love. I just don't. I just feel friendship, Favoriting, and/or sexual attraction sometimes. Probably why I'm so into shipping and fanfics. I got a lot more "probably why's" but I don't wanna go down that in this already vulnerable post lol. (I already made a whole post about one of the why's back in like 2013 or 14 lmao, without connecting it to this.)
Anyway, I put this whole mental illness and relationships deal into ugly imagery in a current fic WIP I'm working on, since recognizing I was aro took living through FP'ing a few 'romantic' relationships, before I even first heard the term FP. I only saw my experiences as 'I don't think I've been experiencing love' and that by itself felt like it fit. I didn't realize there was anything wrong, even as I outwardly said shit like 'I don't think I'm fit for being in a relationship' to the few people who asked me out, even when I wanted to say yes.
And then I kept trying to make relationships work lmao. I don't know why I even bothered. I just wanted to be wrong about being aro, especially when it was a point of contention (aro and ace separately) with some of the relationships.
I'd probably have to meet another aro person of the exact same flavour of aromanticism to make it work, but even then the mental illness would just be a ticking time bomb. No one wants to be the recipient of FP 'affection', except maybe sometimes the fictional people in a certain fiction trope that winds up being fetishistic, even if it's not intended to insult real people (but sometimes it is). And it's just a reminder of how I was probably a big source of toxicity for probably half the people who have ever been close with me, if it's even half of how fiction portrays people with this symptom.
I dunno where I wanted to end this vent, so here's probably a good place. Just wanted to get this off my chest, because it just now felt like a pretty big revelation that my problems weren't related to romanticism, I've had purely platonic instances of this dating back to being an older kid, and more during high school, and I just never connected the two before now.

stupid in love - psh (m)
this work contains smut - minors please do not interact
pairing. best friend!sunghoon x fem!reader
synopsis. One night early on in your summer vacation, your best friend Sunghoon admits that his biggest anxiety about starting college is going there as a virgin - one thing leads to another, and you end up learning a few things from each other. The more time passes, the more obvious it becomes that your feelings for each other surpass friendship, but with the end of summer looming over your heads, it's hard to tell where these newfound emotions will lead you.
genre. best friends/childhood friends 2 lovers, summer au, lots of fluff and smut but also some angst to spice things up, when i say smut i mean LOTS of smut. like mostly smut lol (mutual first time, ice play, crazy stuff)
word count. 22.1k
a/n. bringing this one back from the pits of my google docs guys.. its been so long since i've posted anything and im not sure when the new hoon fic will be ready so i thought i'd repost an og asahicore fic!!! the title was originally 'hot like ice' but i changed it bc this is my blog and i do what i want <3 i'd also like to say that in terms of plot this is probably not something i would write nowadays, it's very smut-heavy and thats not what im about now idk i was crazy back then... but i rmb being happy w this fic and its reception when i first posted it so i'm happy to have it back on my blog and hope u guys will like it too <3 as always lmk what u think!!
It all started with a lollipop. Well, two, to be exact. One strawberry-flavored, one apple-flavored.Â
You stand in front of your friend, lollipops in hand. âWhich one do you want, Hoon?âÂ
âI donât mind, just pick whichever one you like best,â he replies absent-mindedly, eyes on the TV as he tries to find a suitable movie for this late summer afternoon.
You plop down on the couch next to him and look at the two lollipops in your hands, unable to decide which flavor you like better. âI donât know what I feel like right now,â you announce to an uninterested Sunghoon. âIâll just try both.â
That seems to catch your best friendâs attention. He watches as you unwrap both candies, tasting each once, twice, then as you decide you want the apple-flavored lollipop and hand him the strawberry-flavored one. He doesnât take his eyes off of your lips as you wrap them and swirl your tongue around the candy, letting its sweetness wash over your taste buds. You raise your eyebrows when you notice his staring and he blinks a couple times, trying to snap himself out of it. âDid you want the other one?â you ask, confused by his behavior.
âN-no, I like strawberry,â he stammers, turning his gaze back to the screen in front of you and settling for âWhen Harry Met Sally,â a movie youâve both seen a thousand times but never get bored of.
Youâre used to Sunghoon getting lost in his thoughts, so you donât question it much. You sit back on the couch, your knee touching his. You two are no strangers to a little skinship - after being friends for almost eight years, physical contact comes naturally. You have to admit that recently, itâs started to feel different; but the idea of your friendship changing tugs at your heartstrings so much that you ignore the prickles on your skin when he hugs you or the way your stomach flips when he smiles at you, dimples and sharp canines on display. You tell yourself itâs all stupid and that you can handle so much as your knees touching.
Sunghoon, on the other hand, can't. The lollipop in his mouth right now was in yours mere moments ago and youâd given it to him like sharing saliva was no big deal. He feels like a thirteen year-old for thinking like this, but this was pretty much an indirect kiss.
He stares at the TV screen, but all he can see are your perfect lips sucking that lollipop, and his mind is desperately not trying to go there, but he just cannot help himself. Blood rushes to his dick as he pictures your mouth around him, sucking him off with as much enthusiasm as you are the lollipop. Would you like his taste? Would you look up at him with those pretty eyes of yours, smiling even with his dick stuffed in your mouth?
His own thoughts catch him off guard, and before they can get any wilder, he runs off to the bathroom, knowing heâd never live it down if you caught a glimpse of his erection. Thankfully, you donât, and you call after him, asking if he wants you to pause the movie, to which he shouts back a strangled âno.â
He comes back ten minutes later, face flushed and breath heavy. âGoddamn, Hoon, I know weâre best friends, but if youâre going to dump a massive load, I wished you did it in your own bathroom and not mine,â you tease him, laughing as his face gets even redder and he opens his mouth to protest.
âI was just on my phone!â he replies, mildly offended.
âWhatever,â you say, still laughing, and turn your attention back to the movie.
Well. Sunghoon would rather have you think he just took a huge shit than have you know he came to the idea of you sucking him off and swallowing every last drop of his cum.Â
--
A few days later, you and Sunghoon are lying on his bed, the both of you on your backs, talking about this and that as you often do. Itâs almost 3 a.m., and it feels almost rebellious, being up this late after months of waking up at 6, but your high school graduation was a week ago and you feel like you can do anything. The dim fairy lights you forced him to put up and the bright moon outside are the only sources of light in the room, and when you turn to look at him, you can just make out the outline of his face, the curve of his nose, the sharpness of his jaw. You've looked at him a thousand times before, so your memory makes up for what the light takes away from your eyes. You shift to lying on your stomach, propping yourself up on your elbows so you can take a better look at your friend. Something about the moonlight makes him look ethereal, and his beauty makes your heart skip a beat, but youâd never admit that to him. Out of habit, you reach out to touch his moles, gently placing your middle finger on his nose and your pointer finger on his cheek. Sunghoon closes his eyes at your touch, used to the warm feeling that settles in his stomach whenever you do that.
âY/N?â he calls out, just as you pull your fingers away from his moles.
âYeah?â
He opens his eyes again, meeting yours. âIs there anything youâre scared of for next year? You know, heading off to college and all that?â You shift again and lie on your back, the sides of your two bodies touching. You stare at the ceiling for a while, thinking about his question, and Sunghoon patiently waits for your answer.
âIâm scared about not making friends. Iâm not the least outgoing person ever, but itâs so intimidating, not knowing anyone. And itâll be weird not having you around. Shut up,â you warn before he can make an egotistical remark, so he just chuckles. âIâm also worried about the amount of work Iâll have. Iâve heard so many times that itâs a huge step-up from high school, the workload and the type of work and all that. What if I donât even like the degree that I chose? I know I can change it, but it still stresses me out. Turning 18 doesnât feel like a huge deal, but going to college does. Itâs when all the responsibility hits. My mom told me to make my own doctorâs appointment the other day, and I almost cried when I had to call them. Iâm not gonna have anyone to do my groceries for me. Iâm scared I might get an awful roommate. I hate the idea of communal showers. I donât even know what I want to do after college, and I know I have four years to make up my mind, but Iâm scared those four years are gonna flash by and Iâll be indebted and unemployed by the end of it.â You pause to take a breath, and you can feel Sunghoonâs eyes on the sides of your face, but he doesnât say anything. âAlso, I heard that you put on a lot of weight during your freshman year.â
You turn to look at him to find him smiling at you. âWow. Thatâs a lot.â
The two of you giggle, eyes not leaving the otherâs. After a moment, you turn your gaze back to the ceiling and sigh. âYeah, I know. But Iâm more excited than I am scared. What about you?â
Sunghoon follows your gaze and looks up above him. He doesnât say anything for a while, and when he finally speaks up, he says it so quietly, you almost donât hear it. âIâm scared of going to college a virgin.â
You try to stay serious for a few seconds, but you canât keep your laughter in and snort loudly at your friendâs words, laughing so hard your stomach starts to hurt.
âDonât make fun of me!â he whines, hands coming up to cover his face.
It takes you a while to calm down; not only was Sunghoonâs statement ridiculous, it was so unexpected that you couldnât stop laughing. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry,â you apologize, catching your breath. âI just canât believe that thatâs what youâre scared of, of all things.â
âWhat? Itâs a perfectly reasonable concern,â he defends himself.
âNobodyâs gonna care if youâre a virgin, Hoon,â you try to reason with him, but if there is one thing your best friend is, itâs stubborn.
âIâm gonna care! What if I like a girl but I canât bring myself to make a move on her âcause I have no experience?â
âBut Hoon, chances are she doesnât have a lot more experience than you do! Sheâll be the same age we are, dummy. Weâre not sixteen year-olds jumping into a world of twenty year-olds. Sure, some people have their first time in high school, but a lot do it at university. Youâll be fine,â you reassure. His furrowed eyebrows and pout tell you heâs not fully convinced, though.
âOh, cïżœïżœïżœmon! If you really want to lose your virginity before leaving, we can get you laid during the summer. Iâm sure we can find a girl nice enough,â you tease, jokingly patting his bicep, trying not to make a note of how firm the skin feels under your hand.
Sunghoon sighs, and you can tell heâs actually taking this seriously. âIâm not that desperate that Iâd have sex with the first girl that agrees, you know. Iâd still rather do it with someoneâŠâ He glances at you for just a second. âSomeone I trust.â
You feel your face heat up at the possible meaning behind his words, so you look away, not wanting him to see the effect they had on you. He changes his position on the bed, and now itâs his turn to prop himself up on his elbows and look down at you.
âWhat about you, Y/N? Donât you think itâd be good to get a bit of experience before going off to college? Itâll be one less thing to stress about,â he says, a small smirk playing on his lips, and his shy demeanor from moments prior is completely gone. Out of fear that his ego would get even bigger, you'd never tell him, but you love it when he gets like that - when he thinks heâs the shit and teases you mercilessly. You know he does it lightheartedly, and it never fails to bring a smile to your face.
Except right now it does. Youâre not smiling, far from it; youâre looking up at your best friend, mouth slightly agape and wide eyes searching for a sign that he may be just joking. He raises an eyebrow expectantly, and your reaction is to scoff at him.Â
âDo I need to remind you that youâre the reason I have no experience to begin with, Park Sunghoon?â you ask, sitting up on the bed to peer down at him. He shifts again and lays on his back, his hands coming up behind his head as he beams at you.
âAm I really?â
You wish you could slap that shit-eating grin off of his face. This is not the first time you're having this conversation. âYes, Hoon. Every time a guy was even remotely interested in me, you chased them away. Iâm still not over you telling Kang Taehyun I have smelly feet! I had a huge crush on that guy!â
Sunghoon loudly laughs at the memory, and you curse yourself for cracking a smile when you see his face scrunched in laughter. âThat was in Year 5, Y/N! Itâs been years!â
You grab a pillow and throw it at his head, unable to not laugh along with him. âWhat about Bang Yedam, then? That was only last year, and you totally ruined my chances with him!â
âListen, if you having a creepy doll collection is enough to make him not ask you out, then he must not have liked you that much.â
âBut I donât have a creepy doll collection! Thatâs the whole point!â you say, on the brink of desperation. You sigh at your friend whoâs still catching his breath from laughing so much. âYouâre just lucky they didnât repeat your bullshit to anyone. I wouldâve had such a weird reputation otherwise.â
âOf course they didnât. I told them Iâd kill them if they did,â he stated matter-of-factly, as if that was a normal and appropriate thing to do.
âCouldnât you have threatened them that way so they wouldnât ask me out instead of lying to them about me?â
Sunghoon stares at you for a few seconds, eyes seemingly empty of thought. âHuh. Yeah, I guess I couldâve done that.â
âUgh,â you groan, and plop down on the bed next to him. Neither of you says anything for some time, until you break the silence again. âYou know you even stole my first kiss, Hoon,â you speak softly.
âI know,â he says, voice just as quiet as yours. âYou never shut up about it.â
âWhy would I? I was about to kiss Lee Heeseung, of all people, the boy everybody, including me, had a crush on, but no, someone had to get between us and kiss me in his stead,â you grumble, giving your friend a harsh side-eye.
Sunghoon sighs and shakes his head as if youâre being irrational. âI donât get why youâre so hung-up on that. Why would you want your first kiss to be because of a middle-school party dare rather than have it with your best friend, whom you know and trust?â
âIt was Lee Heeseung, for Godâs sake!â
âAnd Iâm Park Sunghoon!â
Still both laying on your backs, you turn your heads to look at each other. Thereâs something in his eyes youâve never seen before that you canât quite put your finger on. The person in front of you is one youâve known for years now and yet the look in his eyes is of such unfamiliar intensity that it makes your stomach flip. You inhale sharply when his eyes drift down to your lips, and you canât help but mirror his actions. The atmosphere has flipped like a light switch; it was playful just mere seconds ago, the sound of your usual banter filling up the room. All of a sudden, thereâs something heavy dancing in the air around you, and it makes your heart skip a bit faster and your breath a bit shallower.
Your voice is barely above a whisper when you say his name.
âYeah?â His eyes snap back up to yours, but you're still stuck on his lips. Have they always looked so kissable?
âWhy did you do that? Why did you push those boys away from me?â you ask, even though youâve asked this question a thousand times before. You want to hear his answer again.
âIâve already told you. You deserved better than them.â Whenever you ask him about it, Sunghoon always stops here, and you never push. But there are unspoken words left hanging that youâre dying to hear.
âWho, then? Whoâd be better than them?â
He's quiet for a second. âItâs a secret,â he whispers finally, a small smirk teasing his lips, and you roll your eyes at him. But then your eyes meet again and your breath hitches. You shift to your side so you can face him more fully, and he mirrors your actions.Â
Itâs his turn to say your name. âY/N?â
âYeah?â
âHave you kissed anyone since?â he asks, coming off shyer than heâd intended to.
You giggle and smack his shoulder lightly. âWhy do you wanna know?â
He snickers too and, to your surprise, stops your fist from hitting him a second time, enveloping his larger hand around yours and laying it between the two of you on the bed. âCause I should know that sorta thing. Also, if you did kiss someone since then, and I didnât know about it, I'd be upset.â
âWhy would you be mad?â you say, still giggling, trying to ignore the way your heartbeat quickens when he threads your fingers with his.
âBecause you wouldnât have told me!â
âWellâŠâ
âNo way, Y/N,â he practically shouts, already feeling betrayed, his free hand coming up to grip his heart in fake shock.
âLet me at least finish first,â you protest. He obliges, although he doesn't look very happy about it. âYou know that summer 2 years ago I went away to camp?â
âYeah, worst summer ever.â
âWell, I did sort of⊠get with someone, that summer,â you say, avoiding Sunghoonâs wide eyes as he gasps loudly.
âWhat? Who with? How come you didn't tell me?â he exclaims, letting go of your hand. He sits up on the bed and crosses his arms over his chest like an annoyed child.Â
âBecause of this exactly.â
âWhatâs this?â
âYour reaction right now!â you say, sitting up as well, both of your knees grazing his. The simple touch sends a shiver down your spine that you can only hope he takes no notice of.
âWouldnât you be a bit upset if I told you I âgot withâ,â he air-quotes, âa random girl two years ago?â
âNo? Especially not if it was two years ago?â
You both look just as confused as the other, obviously not on the same wavelength. He furrows his eyebrows and glares at you. âWell, I am.â
You throw your head back in laughter and place your hands on his knees, but when you come forward again, you overestimate the distance between the both of you and find yourself mere inches from his face. The laughter immediately dies in your throat, and you feel it go dry when your stunned reaction elicits a smirk from him. You donât know how long you stare into his eyes, all you know is you snap out of it when his gaze drifts down to your lips once more. Youâre closer now than you were before, and having him so close makes your mind spin with all the possible outcomes of such proximity. You lean back on the bed, pulling away your hands from his knees to hold yourself up on them.
âThereâs no reason to,â you say, hoping that breaking the silence will dissipate some of the tension in the air. You keep going back and forth between familiar and dangerous and you donât know how long youâll be able to handle that atmosphere. âItâs not like anything grand happened. We made out a bit and held hands. We never spoke after that summer, otherwise youâd have known about it.âÂ
Sunghoon lets out a low hum. His eyes are still trained on yours, and you wished heâd look away because you canât seem to do it yourself. He still doesnât say anything, so you speak up again. âYou say that like youâve never had girlfriends, by the way. Surely youâve done more than just kissing.â Silence again, and you canât decipher the look heâs giving you. âSo, I donât know what youâre so scared about, because itâs not like you have zero experience. Iâm sure the girls at uni will love you, Hoon.â
He sighs and finally tears his eyes away from yours, and youâre not sure if youâre seeing things because of how dark and late it is or if thereâs an actual blush creeping on his cheeks. âSure, Iâve had a couple girlfriends, but you know theyâve never lasted long,â he says, looking down at his lap. âWe made out⊠I guess I-â he gives you a quick glance, âIâve touched their boobs and theyâve touched my⊠you knowâŠâ
You canât help but giggle at how shy your friend is suddenly being. âCanât even say the word âpenisâ, Hoon?,â you tease, and his eyes snap back up at yours.
âOf course I can. Penis! There.â You look at each other for a few seconds before bursting into laughter, Sunghoon hushing you so you donât wake up his parents, but his hushes are louder than your laugh. After a couple minutes, you calm down and wipe your tears away, grateful for the break in the tension between you and Sunghoon.
âAnyway, yeah, I guess I donât have that much experience. Which is why I brought it up in the first place.â And just as quickly as itâd left, the tension is back again.
You look around the room because the weight of Sunghoonâs gaze on your face is unbearable. You release a shaky breath when you feel his gentle hand on your knee, and your eyes drift to it, but you canât get yourself to look him straight in the eyes.Â
âDonât you think itâd be good to get experience before leaving for college, Y/N?â he asks, and you can tell heâs trying to sound confident, but his voice comes out breathier and shakier than he must intend it to.
âI donât know⊠I donât think itâs necessary,â you say, eyes still trained on his hand resting on your knee. He squeezes it a bit, making you finally look up at him. Is it just you, or did the room get hotter all of a sudden?
âNot everything you do has to be out of necessity, you know.â
The both of you stare at each other for a few moments. This shift in your relationship was bound to happen; youâd been feeling it more and more recently. You didnât use to think twice about Sunghoon taking your hand in his, nor did you feel those stupid butterflies eating away at your stomach every time his gaze lingered for a second too long. Youâd tried to reason with yourself that it was just teenage hormones doing their stupid job, and that you were doomed to feel some kind of attraction for your extremely handsome best friend at some point in your life, but that if you ignored it hard and long enough it would go away.
Well, now that Sunghoonâs lips are barely inches away from yours and your skin is on fire under his hand, it definitely isnât going away.
âWhat would you do if I kissed you?â Sunghoon asks, eyes fluttering down to your lips. You think heâs looked at your lips more than the rest of your face in the past hour.
âIâd slap you,â you lie, gaze mirroring his.
âWould you really?â he says, and your hesitation makes him smirk slightly.
âNo,â you breathe out, and itâs the answer heâs been waiting for, the answer he needs to finally press his soft lips against yours.Â
You donât even have the time to savor the moment, though, because the warmth of his lips is gone as quickly as it came. He pulls back, a surprised look in his eyes, as if he canât believe what he just did. The tension above you breaks and rains down on you like small pieces of confetti that settle comfortably on your head and shoulders. Thereâs a knot in your stomach but instead of twisting your insides in nervousness, it feels warm and makes you giddy for whatâs to come next. Sunghoonâs surprised expression transforms into a grin at the sound of your laughter, and he canât help but chuckle along with you.
You scooch closer to him, and his other hand comes to rest on your second knee. You can tell heâs not going to do much more, so you lean in bit by bit, and peck him softly on the lips. You both giggle again and you blame the fact that you want to feel his lips on yours again on the late hour of the night. You peck his lips once, twice more, giggling inbetween, but when you peck them a third time, he doesnât let you pull away and keeps his lips on yours. The sudden added strength takes you aback, but it doesnât take you long to yield to his touch and kiss him back.Â
Sunghoon moves his lips slowly against yours and itâs surprisingly easy to fall into his rhythm. You donât have the most experience with kissing, but something about doing it with your best friend reassures you and your whole body relaxes as you focus on the feeling of his lips moving in cadence with yours. The knot in your stomach stays there and tightens when his hands ride up your thighs and settle on your hips, holding you snugly there. Youâre only wearing shorts and his palms against your bare skin make you release a shaky breath in Sunghoonâs mouth. You pull back for a bit, surprised at your own reaction, but nothing has prepared you for the way your best friend looks at you.
His pupils are dilated, dark; his glossed-over eyes bore right into yours. Your breath was already shallow from the kiss, but itâs his gaze that renders you completely breathless. Sunghoon tightens his grip on your hips and leans in for more, but you put a hand on his chest to stop him, making his eyes snap back into focus.
âOh my God, Iâm so sorry, Y/N. I donât know what took over me. Are you okay?â he asks, as short of breath as you are, but worry laced in his voice.
âNo- Yes- I mean, yes, Iâm fine, everythingâs fine, I just-â you shake your head, trying to gather your thoughts. âIâm justâŠâ
âTell me. You can tell me,â he says, rubbing gentle circles into your hips with his thumb, and the unfamiliar yet intimate gesture makes it even harder to concentrate.Â
âWe- weâre best friends, right?â you ask, voice trembling, You ask, even though you know the answer, just because youâre afraid the line the two of you have just crossed is already miles behind you, and you wonât be able to retrace your steps.
âYeah, of course we are,â Sunghoon reassures, head tilting to the side in confusion.Â
âAnd best friends⊠Do they⊠Well, itâs normal for best friends to kiss, right?â you say, trying to calm the overpowering urge to kiss him again.
Sunghoon chuckles and tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear. âI donât know about that, Y/N.â
âOh,â you breathe.
Sunghoon quickly catches on to your hesitation. âBut who cares about what best friends usually do and donât do?â he says, holding your face between his hands to make you look up at him. âI liked kissing you, just now. I really, really liked it,â he admits, red dusting his cheeks. âDid you?â
You nod, too shy to put just how much you enjoyed kissing Sunghoon into words. âDo you want to do it again?â he asks and chuckles when you nod again, eyes already on his lips. This time, you donât stop him when he leans in and let him press his lips to yours again. His words have reassured you and you sigh into his mouth, making him smile into the kiss.Â
His hands ride up a bit and settle on your waist, bringing you a bit closer to him, and you circle your arms around his neck. The shyness of the first kiss is completely gone, and youâre both gaining more and more confidence, letting everything go and focusing solely on where your bodies meet. He tilts his head, deepening the kiss, and you push your body onto his, a sudden need to feel him against you, to feel his strong arms encaging you.Â
You pull away at the same time to catch your breaths, smiling at each other when you see how lustful the otherâs expression is. Sunghoonâs eyes have glossed over once more, and youâre sure yours have too. âCâmere,â he whispers, beckoning you to him. You climb onto his lap, one knee on each side of his hips. âIs this okay?â he asks, but you donât answer, you just lean in and kiss him again, holding his face in your hand as his hands roam your back over the thin fabric of your t-shirt. Your kisses are curious, the both of you trying to figure out what feels best as you tilt your heads from one side to the other and let your inquisitive hands travel each otherâs bodies. Yours find purchase in his hair, and you revel in the sighs that escape his lips whenever you pull and tug at the strands.Â
As the kiss gets hungrier and needier, his hands fall down to your lower back, and then to your ass. He just cups it for a while, but after a few moments, grabs it harder and brings you close to him, making your core rub against the hardness that had been building in his sweatpants for a while now. The friction is unexpected and you canât help the loud moan leaving your lips at the feeling. Itâs a feeling you know from your own hand in the privacy of your dark room, but Sunghoon making you feel that way is so foreign that it snaps you out of the daze youâre in.Â
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry, was that too much?â Sunghoon scrambles for words, but youâre already pulling away, and he doesnât know what to do to keep you close.
You sit back on the bed, holding your knees close to your chest. You look at your best friend in front of you whoâs looking at you with a worried expression. Something in you craves to reach a hand out to him, to feel his cheeks and jawline under your palms again, to find out if heâd shiver at your touch and if goosebumps would form on his skin. Heâs been your best friend for eight years, and youâve always thought you knew everything about him, the same way heâs supposed to know everything about you. But you realize in this moment that there are things you donât yet know, melodies to be discovered, treasures to be unearthed. Your fingertips are burning to find them all.Â
The sound of your name resonates inside your mind and it takes you everything not to fall back on him again. You furrow your eyebrows, confused by all those things youâre feeling. What was it that just took over you, that lit your insides up so?
You straighten your back suddenly and take in your surroundings. Sunghoonâs room is still the same old room youâve always known, the same blue walls, the same posters he only ever changes when he finds a new interest and lets go of an old one. The same pictures from when you were 10, 12, 15, recent ones now that youâre 18; the same figure skating trophies and medals on his shelves. You turn to look at your best friend. The same soft, round cheeks contrasted by a sharp jaw; the same almond eyes, round with worry at your sudden movement away from him; the same two moles youâve always found so comforting, for some reason. You almost reach out to touch them, to give you some sense of balance, to reassure you that things arenât changing as much as it feels like they are. But youâre scared electricity might fry your fingers if you touch him right now. Youâre scared you wonât be able to take your fingers off of him, no matter how much it stings. His face is the same as always before, but thereâs something else to it, something you could probably figure out if you spent more than three seconds thinking about it, but youâre not sure you want to figure it out.
âIs everything okay? Did- Did I do something wrong?â he asks, voice laced with concern.Â
Before he can put a reassuring hand on your knee, you get off of the bed, and hurriedly say, âNo. I just- I think I should go home.â You look everywhere but at him.
He sits up at your words, concern turned into confusion. âItâs 3 a.m., Y/N, why do you want to go home all of a sudden? Youâve stayed over plenty of times before.â
âI know, I justâŠâ you trail off, trying to come up with an excuse. âIâve got cramps. I think my periodâs coming,â you lie. Itâs better than whatever truth is threatening to bubble up.
âOh. Right.â He scooches a bit, sitting on the edge of his bed. âIs there anything- like- can I do anything?â He sighs, steadies himself. âYou donât have to go, is what Iâm trying to say.â
A few months ago, when you had finally wrapped your head around the fact that your best friend was an attractive man and that he made you feel things friends werenât supposed to make you feel, youâd told yourself it was all just a phase that would pass soon. But feelings this strong surely cannot go away that easily.
You take a deep breath in and tear your eyes away from him. âI think I should go home,â you repeat. âIâll see you tomorrow, Hoon.â
You turn around and start walking away, but Sunghoon is quick on his feet and stops you from going out the door. âDo you actually have cramps? Or are you just scared that our friendship might change?â He sounds out of breath, like asking this question is taking him all of his energy.
You avert his gaze and try to push past him, but heâs much stronger than you. Puberty sure played its trick on him. You sigh and look down at your feet. âIâm tired, Hoon, letâs talk about it tomorrow.â
But if there is one thing your best friend is, itâs stubborn. âI donât wanna talk about it tomorrow. I wanna talk about it now. Did it feel nice?â he asks, and his resolute tone of voice makes you look up at him.
âI- I mean-â
âY/N,â he starts, wrapping his arms around you and leaning in a bit, his familiar scent filling your nostrils. You have to close your eyes. âAnswer me. Did it feel good?â
âYes,â you answer without thinking.Â
âIs that why youâre scared?â
âYes.â Your eyes flutter open when you feel his fingers graze your cheek. He leans in again and traps your kiss in a much softer and intimate kiss that makes your head spin and your thoughts cloud. Before you can get carried away, you pull away again, and ignore how beautiful he looks when his eyes stay closed for a couple of seconds longer. He only opens them once you tell him once again you should go home, that you need some time to think.
âLet me at least walk you there. Itâs dark,â he pleads, his grip on your waist still tight.
âHoon, I live right next door, Iâll be fine.â You let him kiss you once more and he makes you promise to call or text him tomorrow.
When you leave, Sunghoon plops back down on his bed, arm resting on his forehead as he plays back the events of the night. Had he done something wrong? Something that made you want to get as far away from him as quickly as possible? Heâd tried to be gentle and to make sure you were okay with everything, but he couldnât help but get carried away when he heard those sweet sighs of yours. He thought he was going to combust when he heard you moan, and he wanted to hear it over and over again, but youâd jumped from him like heâd told you he had killed someone.
He hopes you were telling the truth when you said you were just scared about your friendship changing. He hadnât wanted to push and get you to stay; he knew it was weird, seeing each other in a different light all at once. He wasnât completely oblivious; heâd felt that same shift in your relationship those past few months, just like you had, although youâd never spoken about it to each other. He knew he could never go back to seeing you as just a friend when heâd jerked off one day and you were all he could think of. He kept imagining the sounds youâd make and the way your hands would feel on him, and heâd gotten so close to getting that today, but he mustâve fucked something up and now his chances were ruined. He curses himself for letting you slip through his fingers just when he thought he finally had you.
You donât get a wink of sleep that night. Your mind is reeling with everything that happened in Sunghoonâs room. Your fingers unconsciously keep coming up to touch your lips and feel the ghost of his touch there. Your skin turns hot at the simple thought of how perfect his lips had felt against yours, and you toss and turn in your bed as you consider what mightâve been, had you stayed with Sunghoon.Â
But itâs all happening too quickly, and even though youâve been curious in more ways than one about your best friend for the past few months, you hadnât expected to kiss him and to enjoy it so much on a random summer night. Your thoughts only seem to calm down and your eyes finally close just as the sun starts to rise.
--
The next day, Sunghoon wakes up in the early hours of the afternoon and checks his phone right away. A couple of notifications, but nothing from you. A text from Jake in their group chat with Jay asking to hang out at Sunghoonâs pool, to which he replies that they can come whenever. He taps a quick one out in the shower, memories of your scent and your lips on his getting him to finish quicker than heâd like to admit. Heâs in the middle of a late breakfast when Jake and Jay spawn at his door, swimming trunks already on. Still nothing from you.
It doesnât take Jay and Jake long to figure out that something is up with their best friend. Itâs not like he does much usually, but today especially, he makes no effort to entertain them. He laughs at their jokes, but it feels like he laughs because he hears other people laughing rather than because he genuinely finds them funny. He barely even reacts when the inflatable pool ball hits him right in the face.
His friends donât say anything until theyâre all seated at a table by the pool, sipping on some ice-cold Coke. The air is still warm but the sun is low in the sky, hidden behind the house. Sunghoon is still lost in his thoughts, unblinking eyes fixed on a random point in the distance. Jay and Jake exchange a look before the former breaks the silence.
âIs everything alright, Hoon? You look out of it today.â
Jayâs voice brings him back to the here and now, and his eyes jump back and forth between his two friends who are looking at him expectantly. âHuh? Yeah, yeah, Iâm fine. Just tired. I didnât get a lot of sleep last night,â he says, leaving some of the truth out, but his friends know him better than he gives them credit for.
âAre you sure? I feel like thereâs something youâre not telling us. You usually act like a little bitch when youâre tired, you donât get allâŠ,â Jake shakes his hand in front of his face, âdistant like that.â
Sunghoon bites his lip, debating whether he should tell his friends about you or not. No matter how stupid they may be, they also know both of you quite well, so they might prove not completely useless, he thinks.
âY/N and I kissed last night.â
Itâs almost comical, how Jay and Jake bring their head forward in astonishment, how wide their mouth gets, how their eyes look like they might pop out of their sockets, and how they say âYou what?!â at the same time. On a normal day, Sunghoon would've laughed.
âWe kissed,â Sunghoon repeats, eyes drifting down to the ground in front of him as he rubs his neck in embarrassment.
âFucking finally!â Jay exclaims.
âTold you it was gonna happen. No way you two were going to stay just besties forever,â Jake teases, punching Sunghoon in the arm. âHow was it?â
Sunghoon sighs and leans back in his chair, letting his head hang back. âReally fucking amazing,â he chuckles. His friends holler for him, snickering like 12-year old boys who just saw a hot girl walk past.Â
âGod, I saw this coming from miles away. I donât know why you kept on insisting nothing was gonna happen between you two,â Jake says, beaming.
âI really didnât think anything would⊠I just⊠Started seeing her differently recently, I guess.â Sunghoon shrugs, sheepishly smiling to himself.
âSo, what happened? Did you guys just kiss orâŠ?â Jay asks, raising his eyebrows suggestively. Jake giggles at the insinuation of sex but has a curious glint in his eyes when he waits for Sunghoonâs answer.
âYeah, um, we just kissed cause she- she sort of ran away?â Sunghoon admits, wincing at the recollection.
âYou what?!â Chaeyongâs voice rings out in the food court of the mall where youâre currently sitting, halfway through your strawberry milkshake.
âKeep it down, would you?!â you scold her, smiling apologetically to the people staring at you and your friend.
âIf it was so good, why the hell did you run away, Y/N?â
âI just- I donât know⊠Freaked out, I guessâŠâ you mumble, cowering under the harsh look she gives you.
âWell, have you talked since?â You donât reply, just guiltily avoid her gaze. âY/N!â
âI know, I know! I just⊠donât know what to do. âHey, nice making out with you last night, bit weird since weâve been best friends since we were 11, but thatâs fine, right?â Ugh! Thatâs so stupid,â you complain, flopping back in your chair.
âThatâs exactly what you should say. Going MIA on him will just make things weirder. Plus youâve never gone more than 24 hours without speaking so one of you will eventually cave in. It should be you,â she says, looking at you with a raised eyebrow as she takes a sip from her milkshake.Â
You scoff when she gives you a âyou know Iâm rightâ look. âIâll think about it on the way home and text him. There.â
And you do think about it on the way home; but you donât get the opportunity to send the text, because as soon as you get off the bus at the stop right across from your house, you see Sunghoon sitting on the bench of your porch, looking around nervously and rubbing his hands on his denim shorts. You chuckle to yourself; who knew he got so distressed from not speaking to you for a day?
He stands up when he sees you approaching and raises his hand in a quick wave. âHi, Hoon,â you greet, and you can feel his whole body relax when you hug him. So, you donât hate him, he thinks. You sit down on the bench together. âSorry I didnât text you. I didnât know what to say after⊠last night,â you admit, hugging your knees to your chest as you sit facing him.
âYeah, I figured,â he chuckles, smiling shyly at you. âI was scared youâd never want to see me again.â
You look at him with wide eyes, mildly offended, and punch his arm. âHow could you think that?!â
âWell, you did sort of run away from me last night,â he says, lightly punching your arm in return.
You tut in defeat. âI did, didnât I?âÂ
âYeah. Iâm just glad you didnât walk past me straight into your house just now.â
You chuckle and rest your head on top of your knees. âThat wouldâve been a bit much, even for me.â
Sunghoon lets out a puff of air through his nose in response, and then the two of you sit in silence. Youâre contemplating what to do next when your friend pulls you from your thoughts. âShould we, umâŠâ He shuts his eyes tightly in reflection for a second before opening them again and looking straight at you. âShould we just pretend like last night didnât happen? Would that make you feel more comfortable?â
His words take you aback and your eyes widen a bit; you hadnât even thought pretending nothing happened last night was an option, because you didnât think youâd ever be able to actually get it out of your head. Even now, if you stare at Sunghoon for too long, your gaze will naturally drift downwards or youâll get a flashback of his large hands around your waist. But apparently, if he can offer to pretend like the previous night wasnât a thing, then it must not have been such a huge deal to him. You quickly try to hide your disappointment and nod at your friend. âRight. Yeah. Sure.â
Silence makes its way between you two again. It makes the late afternoon breeze a bit chillier and the physical distance between you and Sunghoon feel much bigger than it actually is. Wanting it to go away quickly, you ask, âDo you wanna watch a movie, then?â
Sunghoonâs never looked so relieved about watching a movie, and he immediately accepts your offer. You get some popcorn ready while he searches for a movie to watch. He clicks on a horror movie that looks like itâs got a clichĂ© storyline and awful acting, but youâre happy for any sort of distraction when Sunghoon is sitting so close to you.
You and Sunghoon always sit close-by when you watch something together, knees and shoulders brushing against each other. Tonight isnât any different, except that your skin burns everywhere it touches his. You can smell the faint scent of chlorine in his hair, and itâs so intoxicating you want to bury your face there and breathe it in.
Youâre thirty minutes into the movie and still nothingâs happened when Sunghoon puts his arm around you, letting his hand hang over your shoulder. The sudden warm contact makes you take a sharp intake of breath as memories of the previous night come flooding once again. You donât know what you were expecting, but Sunghoon simply rests his hand there and doesnât do anything more for another thirty minutes, except for squeezing your shoulder when thereâs a small jumpscare, making you chuckle at him. This isnât much more than what youâre used to with him, but knowing your friend, he must be thinking the ball is in your court. So you scooch a bit closer into his side and rest your head on his shoulder, the scent of his skin even stronger now that your nose is so close to his neck. You feel his chest raise and relax as he sighs deeply and tightens his hold around your shoulders. His small reactions to you spur you on and you decide to wrap an arm around his waist and you feel him flinch oh-so-slightly at your touch in such a sensitive spot. He starts to rub circles into your shoulder and rests his head on top of yours, and your whole body relaxes into his. This is so much more than what youâre used to with him; and yet, you so readily melt under his touch.
You can barely focus on the movie because of how close Sunghoon is. When a particularly scary ghost jumps on the screen, you flinch and hide your face in his neck, and he giggles at your reaction, hand coming up to stroke your hair comfortingly. It only takes you a few seconds to realize what position youâre in, and you release a shaky breath as you slowly lift your head towards Sunghoon, only to find him already looking at you, seemingly having had that same realization. When his eyes drift down to your lips, you know youâre done for.
You call out his name, and heâs already answered âYes?â before youâve had time to finish uttering the second syllable. âI donât think I want to pretend last night never happened,â you admit, holding his waist a bit tighter.
âGood. Me neither,â he breathes out before leaning down and trapping your lips in his, the kiss releasing all your pent-up frustration of the day. The world seems to melt away with his lips on yours, the movie already long forgotten. Sunghoon pulls you into his lap and you slide your palms up from his waist, against his chest and to his shoulders before wrapping your arms around his neck, bringing your body closer to his. His hands are sitting on your hips, fingers lightly pressing into them and your lower back. Now that you both seem to know what you want, itâs so easy, just falling into this kiss.
His tongue darts out to lick your bottom lip and you gladly open your mouth for him, letting his tongue explore it. You havenât kissed someone like this in ages, maybe ever, but Sunghoon takes the lead and effortlessly gets you to follow his rhythm. When a flick of his tongue against yours feels particularly nice, you arch your back and press your chest into his, making him smirk into the kiss. This time, when he brings your hips down onto his, letting you feel his erection against your clothed core, the feeling doesnât make you want to run away; instead, you want to feel it again and again.
You fall into a nice pace of rubbing yourself against him, eliciting hushed moans and loud breaths from the both of you. You canât concentrate on kissing him and grinding down on him at the same time, so you drop your head down to bury your face in his neck, leaving a few pecks there but mostly moaning against his skin, enjoying how your hot breaths make him shiver.
You canât keep a whine from escaping your lips when he bucks his hip into yours and his tip brushes directly against your covered clit, instantly bringing a hand up to your mouth. âFuck, Y/N,â he breathes. âI know we gotta keep quiet âcause of your parents but the sounds youâre making are so fucking pretty. I wanna hear them over and over again.â His words make you whimper against his neck and you feel your slick starting to pool in your panties.
âH-hoon. This feels so good,â you moan, breathing warmly against the shell of his ear.
âI know, right? Feels so good,â he chuckles, hands grabbing at your ass to bring you harder down onto him. His actions are about to elicit another moan from you when, all of a sudden, a loud jumpscare in the movie makes you jump away from the boy underneath you and yelp in fear, which in turn makes him scream in surprise. You look at each other, panting and eyes open wide, hands clutching at your hearts, until you burst into laughter. The fun moment is short-lived, however, as your mom rushes down the stairs not ten seconds later, frantically asking if everything is alright.Â
You sit up straight at the sight of your mother and clear your throat. Youâre thankful for the dark of the room which hides your and Sunghoonâs swollen lips and flushed faces from her view. âSorry, mom, we were just watching a scary movie. Weâre fine.â She sleepily nods and walks back up the stairs, and when sheâs back in her room, Sunghoon and you exchange a look and erupt into another fit of smaller, quieter giggles.Â
That night, after Sunghoonâs gone home, the both of you get yourselves off in your own beds, the strong memory of each otherâs lips and hands bringing you both to your releases. Without even realizing it, you moan out Sunghoonâs name as your orgasm hits. The window from your room doesnât face his; but still, your heart is beating so loudly that youâre afraid the sound might carry from your open window to his. You get up and close it.
--
Now that you and Sunghoon both know you want to kiss each other, you do it everywhere: in his pool, his back pressed against the wall; on the sunchairs when you were supposed to be drying off; on your beds in the middle of the night, none of your parents or siblings suspicious of anything; in front of your house, because even though he was supposed to just walk you home, he couldnât keep himself from tasting you one last time; in the backseat of his car after an evening with your friends and he drove you two home.
You spend a good two weeks of just kissing before your body starts to crave something more. At some point, Sunghoonâs hands resting nicely on your waist or sometimes, if heâs feeling bold, grabbing at your ass, start to not be enough anymore. You knew you wouldnât be satisfied with just kisses and sweet touches when one day, his hands slowly but surely slid up your naked belly before grabbing onto your bikini-clad breast, lighting your whole body up on fire. Heâd slipped his hand underneath your swimming top and rolled your nipple between two fingers and you had felt his dick twitch under your core when you let out a loud moan at the new yet so pleasurable feeling.
You know what it is that you want, but it makes you feel dirty. Your fingers have made you finish a hundred times before, but wanting Sunghoon to make you feel that way is a whole other story. Is that even what he wants? Would he be weirded out if you asked him about it? Is there even the sliver of a chance that maybe, just maybe, he has those same thoughts about you, and wants you to make him feel good as much as he wants to make you feel good?
If his grunts and the way he ruts into you when your make-out sessions get particularly steamy are any indication, then the answer to those questions would respectively be yes, no, and yes.Â
Youâre lying on a sunbed one afternoon, letting the sun dry off your wet skin from the pool, when you finally muster the courage to tell Sunghoon about your wishes. After all, he is your best friend, and you know you can talk to him about anything. Even when that âanythingâ involves his fingers inside of you and his dick in your mouth.
âSunghoon?â you call out, turning your head to look at your best friend. Heâs bathing in the sunlight without a care in the world. His skin has tanned a bit since summer started three weeks ago and his muscles are even more defined after all that swimming and working out heâs been doing. You want to reach out a hand, to feel the taut skin of his abs and chest under your palms, and to maybe then slide your hand down until you feel his hard-on underneath his swimming trunks. Your chairs arenât far apart and you could do it from where you are, but youâd rather ask him first.
âYeah?â he answers without turning towards you.
You take a deep breath in before you start talking again. âYou know how you said it could be good for us to get⊠experience before going to college⊠And how weâve been kissing these past couple weeksâŠâ
âYeah, I know,â he chuckles.
âWell⊠people do more than just kissing, right?â you ask, voice slightly shaky. This seems to pique his interest as he turns to look at you.
âYeah?âÂ
You hope youâre not just imagining the enthusiastic tone in his voice. âI think⊠I think we should try that too, donât you think?â you ask, eyes not leaving his as he sits up on his chair and turns his knees towards you, fully facing you now.
âYeah, I agree. I completely agree.â He stares at you for a few moments as if in disbelief. âDo you want to- Should we- Letâs go up to my room, yeah?â he offers, standing up and reaching his hand out to you. You gladly take it.
You and Sunghoon are a giggling mess as you practically run up the stairs, unable to get to his room quick enough. As soon as the door is closed behind you, you wrap your arms around each other, your lips finding his immediately as he walks you back to his bed. When you feel the back of your knees hit it, you detach yourself from him and lay on it, elbows holding you up as you look up at him expectantly.
âFuck,â he whispers, leaning in to hover over you. He traps your lips in a short but sweet kiss before pulling back and murmuring against your lips, âHave I ever told you how pretty you are, Y/N?â
You beam at his words but decide to tease anyway. âYou always go on and on about how pretty you are, but never about me.â
He giggles and pecks your lips again. âWell, Iâm telling you now. Youâre gorgeous.â You kiss him to hide your flustered face, pulling him so close to you heâs practically laying on top of you. Your hands are a bit more curious than usual, your kisses hungrier, the both of you anticipating whatâs to come.Â
You grind against each other, the feeling of his erection against your barely covered core enough to send your mind into a frenzy. You forget everything around you when you feel Sunghoon pull back in the slightest, far enough so that he can look at your face and gauge your reactions but not too much that you still feel his hot breath on your lips. One of his hands is holding the back of your head as the other travels downwards, stopping for a second on your breast to massage it lightly before continuing its journey. It ever-so-slightly brushes against your core, making you buck your hips up into his touch, but his hand is already gone leaving you whining and pouting and him chuckling at your cute reaction. âYou want it that bad, huh?â he teases.
You scoff, not wanting to let your friend know the effect he has on you. You press your palm against his clothed erection and he hisses at the unexpected contact. âSo do you, Hoon.â
When he presses his lips to yours again, you both smile into the kiss. You cup his jaw and tangle your fingers through his hair, and his hand slips from under your head and joins his other hand on your thigh, grabbing at both of them, fingers slightly digging in your skin. Heâs so, so close to where you want him most, and he seems to have noticed your growing impatience by the way you squirm underneath him. Seeing you so needy for him only makes him needier for you; he has more experience than you, so you probably expect him to take the lead, but the truth is, he has no idea what the fuck heâs doing.
âY/N?â he murmurs, face buried in your neck as he leaves a trail of wet kisses there.
âYeah?â
âWhat do you want me to do?â
The question takes you a bit by surprise. You pull away to look at your friend. His eyes are completely glossed-over, and yours are probably the same. âOh. I donât know. I just⊠want you to touch me, I guess,â you say, voice a bit quiet.
âI donât know how to do that,â he admits sheepishly. He kisses your neck and cheeks before pecking your lips. âCould you- could you show me? How you do it? And I can show you how I do it?â
You take a second to take his words in. Was he suggesting that you touch yourself in front of him, and that he do the same?
This was like a dream come true.
âYeah, sure.â
Sunghoon giggles in response, and you canât help but crack a smile too, even though the idea of getting yourself off in front of your friend, no matter how appealing, is still a bit nerve-wracking. âYou first,â he says, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and you roll your eyes at him.
You sit back against the headboard of the bed and slip a hand underneath your swim bottom, the other hand coming up to cover your eyes in an attempt to escape Sunghoonâs heavy, lustful gaze. âNone of that. I wanna see you,â he says, pulling your hand away from your eyes and resting it on a pillow next to you. âAnd if you keep these on, I wonât be able to see anything,â he says, looking down at your bikini top.
Before you can protest, he comes to sit on his knees in front of you, kissing your neck and letting his hands roam your back. âI wanna see all of you.â Itâs so easy, untying your string bikini, he almost thinks you wore it on purpose for him to take it off. You avoid his gaze as he takes your top off of you, leaving you half-naked in front of him. âSo pretty,â he whispers, and you canât help but look at him, slick pooling between your legs from the fascination heâs looking at your breasts with. He trails kisses down your neck until he reaches them, taking a nipple in his mouth and swirling his tongue around it, then looks up to see your reaction. You never knew your nipples were this sensitive, and you canât help but arch your back at his touch and moan loudly, hand flying up to tug at his soft hair. He releases your nipple with a pop and moves sideways to pay the same attention to the other one, but Sunghoon is impatient and doesnât waste too much time on it; he knows he can come back to your boobs later anyway. Right now, youâve got a hand between your legs, and thatâs what heâs dying to see.
âCan I take this off, too?â he asks, looking up at you as his fingers hook on the sides of your swimming bottoms, waiting for you to nod. His eyes donât leave your glistening core as he pulls the thin fabric down your legs, discarding it somewhere on the floor of his room. He lays on his belly and kisses the inside of your knee as he holds your thighs in his large hands, still transfixed by your pussy when he says, âShow me how you do it, please.â
You both take a sharp breath in when you start moving two fingers in gentle circles over your clit, already wet from making out with Sunghoon. Your fingers are nimble and know exactly what to do after years of doing this, but the pulse in your core is even stronger now that your best friend is watching your movements this intently. He looks like heâs scared to blink in case he might miss something. You canât take your eyes off of his face; youâve never seen him so fascinated by something, so eager to learn. It makes you want to put on a show for him.
A surge of confidence hits you out of nowhere as you slide your digits down your folds, gathering some slick before sliding them back up to your clit and rubbing it a bit faster, a bit harder, your moans growing louder and higher in pitch. With your free hand, you tug at the base of Sunghoonâs hair and make him look up at you. You release his hair and bring your pointer finger up to your mouth, sucking on it and swirling your tongue around it, and Sunghoonâs mind is taken back to that day a couple weeks ago when you had sucked on those lollipops. Oh, how things have changed since then. Not that heâs complaining. âFuck, thatâs hot,â he breathes out, eyes zeroed in on your lips and mouth slightly agape.
You smirk at his reaction, stomach on fire with the feeling of having this kind of power on him. When youâve wet your finger enough, you bring it down to your slit, circling around your hole before entering it, releasing a loud moan for good measure. Sunghoon is mesmerized by the quickening with which your finger slips in and out of you, the fingers on your clit never relenting. He doesnât even realize heâs released one of your thighs to palm himself over his shorts until you notice it yourself and tut in disapproval.
âCome and help me, Hoon,â you say, and the boy snaps out of his daze at the sound of his nickname. He nods slowly, changing his position so that heâs laying between your legs, head dangerously close to your core. You slip your other finger out of your hole and he takes that as a sign to replace it with his own. One hand still gripping your thigh, he imitates your previous actions as he gets his pointer finger wet with his saliva before pressing it between your folds, right underneath your clit where your fingers are still rubbing circles, sliding it down towards your slit, and finally pushing it in.Â
âSo warm⊠So wet, too,â he whispers in wonder, making you cover your eyes with your forearm out of shyness.
âOh my God,â you moan, arching your back and letting your head drop to the side on the pillow. Sunghoonâs finger is much thicker and longer than your own, and it stretches you out and hits a deep spot inside you you never could, no matter how much you tried.
âLike this?â he asks, eyes curious as they bounce back and forth between your face and your entrance sucking his finger in.
âYes, yes, just like that, you can also- oh- you can also curve it upwards a bit- fuck, yeah, just like that, Hoon, youâre doing so well,â you say, the praises just flying out of your mouth.Â
This seems to instill some confidence in him, as he cocks an eyebrow at you and speeds up his actions. âYeah? My finger making you feel good, Y/N?â
âOh, shut up,â you bite back, but immediately let out a long whine when he easily inserts a second finger in your soaking pussy. He curves them inside you just like you told him to, and the feeling of his fingers filling you up and your own quick ones on your clit are creating a familiar knot in your stomach that is so close to breaking. That is, until Sunghoon pulls your wrist away from your clit.
âY/N⊠Can I?â he asks, and youâre not sure what heâs planning, but nod anyway. He wastes no time before pressing his tongue flat down on the sensitive bud, and you actually feel like your soul might leave your body. Fingers knuckle-deep inside you, he licks and sucks at your clit, and the warmth of his tongue against your folds is what makes you tumble over the edge, tightly gripping his hair and bucking your hips into his mouth.
âOh my God⊠Oh my God, Hoon, please, donât stop, please,â you beg, voice getting higher and whinier as you cum all over his tongue. He continues eating you out until it gets too much and you have to tell him to stop. He hikes his body up yours, pecking you sweetly on the lips when he reaches them.
âYour turn,â you announce and hook your legs over his hips to straddle him. Youâre about to lean in for a kiss when you notice how lovingly heâs looking at you: his eyes are soft and a small smile is playing on his lips. It takes you aback, but youâd be lying if you said butterflies didnât spread in your stomach. âW-why are you looking at me like that?â
His grin gets a bit wider. âDid I make you feel good?â
âY-yeahâŠ,â you admit, averting your gaze from him.
âIâm glad. You taste good, by the way. Sweet.â You want to kiss the devilish smirk off of his face.
You scoff at your friend, glaring a bit. âWhatever. Sit up,â you order, but it just makes him smirk more.
âYes, maâam.â
You look up at him to check for confirmation, and when he nods, you hook your fingers under his swimming trunks, taking them off of him along with his boxers underneath. His already fully-hard cock springs free and slaps against his stomach, and you curse yourself for your reaction that will surely just inflate his ego, as if it wasnât already massive. Your mouth hangs open, eyes zeroing in on his length, flushed red from lack of attention and what you can only guess is precum leaking at the tip. It's straight from a porno.
âLike what you see?â Sunghoon teases, making you look up at him, and you can only stupidly nod. You take the position he was in earlier, laying your head on his thigh and caressing the other, letting it ride up to rub his inner thigh and the tiniest bit over his cock, making his smirk vanish as he takes a shaky breath in.
âShow me how you do it,â you say, echoing his words from earlier. He gulps, finally realizing that he was going to have to masturbate in front of your curious eyes just as you had. He spits on his open palm and spreads the precum over his length with his thumb, lubing himself up before gripping the base and starting to move his hand up and down. You watch as his head falls back against the pillow when his palm grazes over his tip and his movements pick up some speed.
You rub his palms over his thighs, itching to get closer to his cock and make him feel as good as he had done to you earlier. Tentatively, you reach out to grab his balls in your hands, massaging them softly, feeling satisfied when a loud moan leaves his throat. âOh, f-fuck, that feels good, Y/N,â he breathes out, voice much higher than youâre used to. If he thought that felt good, then nothing couldâve prepared him for the feeling of your soft and warm tongue kitty-licking his balls, then taking turns sucking each one into your mouth and releasing them with a pop. âWhere the fuck did you learn how to do that?â he asks, involuntarily bucking his hips into your face.
You canât help but giggle, and Sunghoon thinks he might come from the sweet sound contrasted with your lewd actions alone. âI read a lot of fanfiction,â you explain, and he doesnât question it. If Wattpad taught you how to suck dick, then so be it.
You wrap your hand around his and tell him to keep going so you can get an idea of what pace and movements he likes, and you graze your fingernails over his abs and chest with your other hand, chuckling at how sensitive he is when you lightly pinch his nipples. Sunghoon takes his hand off of himself, laying both of his hands palms up next to him on the bed, so you decide to literally take things into your own hands. Trying to recreate what he did before, you spit into your palm and wrap your fingers around his tip, bringing your hand down in a swirly motion to the base of his shaft. You do that a few times, asking, âLike that?â to get confirmation from Sunghoon.
âJust like that, baby,â he says, not even taking notice of the pet name; but you do, and your face immediately flushes, surprised at how much you like it.
âBaby?â you repeat, but heâs too lost in his pleasure and just hums in response. His reaction eggs you on, and you lick a long stripe from his base to his tip, swirling your tongue around it and humming at the bitter but not unpleasant taste of precum there. When another moan escapes his throat, you take his tip in your mouth, at first just shallowly thrusting your head, but then trying to take more and more of him.Â
Youâre so focused on what youâre doing that you donât even realize how quickly heâs panting and how his grunts start to get whinier until heâs moaning out your name. âA-ah, Y/N, feels so good, âm gonna cum, fuck-â
He goes silent as he shoots his release down your throat, eyebrows deeply furrowed and mouth open wide in pleasure. Thereâs so much of it and you canât swallow it all, so you pull your head back, catching your breath, and a hot string of cum hits your chin and your throat. Sunghoon takes a look at you and the sight of you with some of his cum makes his dick twitch before he plops back down on the bed. You giggle as you take tissues from the bedside table (cause of course heâs got tissues next to his bed) and wipe away his seed, then lie down next to him, brushing away the hair thatâs sticking to his forehead with sweat and peppering his face with soft kisses.
He opens his eyes and smiles, turning his head to look at you before engulfing you in a bear hug, sweaty bodies sticking together but neither of you minding it. âThat was so good, Y/N. What the fuck,â he sighs, pecking your forehead.
You hum, nuzzling your nose into his neck. âI know, right? Who knew you could use your mouth for other things than saying stupid shit,â you tease.
He pulls back and gives you a look that tries to be stern, but you know heâs joking. âDo I need to remind you again, young lady?â
You giggle and peck his lips, forcing him out of character as his dimples appear on his cheeks. âLater, definitely.â
And after that day, he makes sure to remind you time and time again of how good his mouth feels on you. You shouldâve seen it coming with how amazing of a kisser he was; but truly, there was nothing like cumming on your friendâs tongue.
--
Youâre relieved to find that not much has changed, after all; you and Sunghoon still play around in the pool, watch stupid movies and hang out with your friends like always. Sure, there are stray hands here and there, or looks that last a little too long and mean a little too much, but if anything, it just makes your friendship more playful and exciting.Â
Youâre both open with what you like and donât like, so it doesnât take either of you to figure out exactly how to make the other come undone embarrassingly quickly. (The shortest amount of time it took him was 2:38 seconds - yes, he timed it - and he hasnât let you live it down since.) You like it when he presses his large hand down onto your lower tummy while he eats you out, or when he sits you between his legs and whispers all sorts of things as his fingers work their magic inside you and on your clit. He likes it when you get down on your knees in front of him and look up at him as you suck him dry, or when you sit in his lap and kiss his neck and play with his hair while he plays video games. And donât even get him started on when you palmed him over his sweatpants while you watched a movie with Chaeyong, Jay and Jake, making sure that the movements under the blanket went unnoticed by them. He wanted to punish you after they left, he really did, but you took him in your mouth right there in the living room and gave him an orgasm that had his thighs shaking for five minutes afterwards. You were pretty proud of yourself for that one.Â
You also find out that he hates it when you tease and edge him, which only makes you do it more; the only problem is that, if you do that, heâll make you ride his thigh and wonât help you at all. His proud smirk and snide praises combined with the feeling of his thick thigh underneath your core were more than enough to get you to your end, though.
And truly, nothing has changed, especially not Sunghoonâs special talent in pushing boys away from you.
âWhat do you mean, Lee Heeseung is coming back?â he heatedly asks, slamming his glass of lemonade down on the outdoor table so hard youâre scared it might break.
âItâs the summer, of course heâs coming back. He just stayed behind for a bit to enjoy a few weeks of the city without college, and now heâs coming back here,â Jake explains, shrugging.
âDo you know when heâll be here?â you ask, far too much excitement in your voice to Sunghoonâs taste.
âJust in a couple days.â
Sunghoon has smoke coming out of his ears when he sees how much you perk up at the news of your old crush being back in town for summer. He likes the boy, but he hates that you like him. And since Heeseung is friends with Jay, Jake, and by association Sunghoon, begrudgingly so, heâll definitely see lots of him in the upcoming months. And if Sunghoon sees Heeseung, then youâll see Heeseung, too. And that, Sunghoon doesnât like.
You notice something is off with him that afternoon because of how uncharacteristically quiet he is. Sunghoon, ever the loud introvert, is always arguing for no reason and laughing louder than everybody around him. So when he merely chuckles at his friendsâ numerous displays of stupidity in the pool and doesnât even say anything in protest to you getting on Jakeâs shoulders to play against Chaeyoung and Jay, you know something is definitely up. You also have a good idea of what that something might be, and youâd be lying if you said you didnât find it endearing.
You stay behind when your friends leave in the early evening. Without a word, you and Sunghoon pack away the inflatable toys in the pool cabin and clean up the table, putting the dirty glasses in the sink. You do the dishes while he prepares sandwiches for the two of you, which he insisted on doing after he heard your stomach grumbling. You watch the latest Kurtis Conner video as you eat and canât help but notice that he doesnât even chuckle at any of the jokes or skits when heâd usually be clutching his stomach in laughter.Â
When youâre done eating, you take a resolute breath and pause the video, but Sunghoon doesnât even notice, only snapping out of his daze when you call out his name.
âHuh?â When his eyes find you, he almost looks surprised to see you, as if heâd forgotten you were there.
âAre you going to tell me whatâs wrong?â you ask, slightly frowning. âYou look so out of it today.â
âHuh? Iâm fine, nothingâs wrong,â he says dismissively and presses play, but you quickly pause the video again.
âIâm your best friend, Sunghoon, I know when somethingâs the matter and I know when youâre lying. We donât have to talk about it if you donât want to, but donât pretend everythingâs fine when we both know thatâs not true.â
He peers at you for a moment, cursing you for knowing him so well. He crosses his arm and averts his gaze, pouting like an angry child. âI hate it when youâre right.â
You giggle and make your way around the counter to him, standing inbetween his legs and wrapping your arms around his neck to make him look up at you. His hands come naturally up to your waist. âI justâŠâ he starts, then immediately stops himself with a sigh., âYouâve always had a crush on Heeseung. But these are our last couple months together, and I donât want somebody else taking up your attentionâŠâ
He buries his face between your breasts to hide his blush, and you canât help but giggle again. âStop laughing at me!â he protests, but the muffled sound of his voice just makes you laugh more. You stroke his hair and press a gentle kiss at the top of his head.
âSure, Iâm happy Heeseungâs coming back. But thereâs no one Iâd rather spend my summer with than you, Sunghoon, you should know that.â He leans back to look up at you with puppy eyes and a small pout. You cup his face, admiring how cute he looks like this, and smile softly down at him.
âReally?â
âReally,â you answer, and he leans in for a kiss.
Itâs a soft one. Itâs a patient kiss, neither of you urging to get somewhere else, to do something more. It reminds you of that kiss in his room a few weeks ago, when you were still curious and discovering each other. From then on, your kisses had become more feverish, more eager, more playful. But now, youâre taking your time. For now at least, neither of you is going anywhere. So your lips melt together slowly, and when you take breaks to breathe, you look each other in the eyes and smile before leaning back in.
Itâs when you sigh against his lips, eyes still closed as you pull away, that it hits him. I could do this forever, he thinks.
I could sit here with my arms around her waist and her lips against mine and the smell of chlorine and the sound of her laugh forever and Iâd never get tired of it, he thinks, but immediately afterwards, he realizes he wonât get to do this forever. Summer will end, youâll both head off to college, and youâll only get to see each other every few months until another summer comes. And who knows what might happen until then?
You might meet someone and realize Sunghoon isnât all that; hell, he might meet someone, but he highly doubts anyone could even come close to the way you make him feel.
âHello? Earth to Sunghoon?â you quietly joke, looking down at him with an affectionate look in your eyes. You press the pads of your fingers to his two moles before replacing your fingers with your lips, giving each one a quick peck. âYou were up on the moon for a minute there.â
Sunghoon hums softly, smiling as he lets himself melt under your touch. âSorry. Itâs just really hot, isnât it?â he says, a stupid excuse he uses as a blanket to cover his feelings. There is some sweat beading at his hairline, which helps make his lie more believable, but you donât need to know itâs not just because of the summer heat.
Slowly, your smile turns mischievous, and Sunghoon can tell you have an idea in mind. âIt is pretty hot⊠Wait here.â
He watches as you fill a tall glass with ice from the dispenser in the fridge and pop an ice cube in your mouth, a devilish smile on your face, and laughs when that smile is replaced with a frown as the coldness hits you and you spit it back into the glass, laughing along with him. âWhat the hell are you doing?â he asks between giggles.
âI got the idea a few days ago when we were having popsiclesâŠ,â you say looking down at the glass between your hands, slightly embarrassed. âYou kissed me and your mouth was really cold but it felt nice.â Sunghoon hums, egging you to go on. You lift the glass up to his cheeks, applying just a bit of pressure to the soft skin. âI thought this could be refreshing.âÂ
You take the ice cube back in your mouth, sucking on it but not letting it melt completely before pressing your lips against Sunghoonâs and opening your mouth just a bit so he could feel the cold of the ice cube. You feel his smile into the kiss as the ice cube swirls between your tongues, sending shivers down your spine.Â
âVery refreshing indeed,â he murmurs when the ice has completely melted. He gets up and takes the glass in one of his hands, leaning down to your level and says âCâmonâ with the same mischievous smile as you on his face.
You two hurry up the stairs, and when you get to his room, he hands you the glass before throwing himself on his back, laying on his back with his hands behind his head. âShow me what you had in mind.â
You straddle his hips and take an ice cube from the glass, rubbing it over his lips before pushing it inside his mouth, the cold making him hiss. You quickly counteract that by pressing your lips to his, the contrast of your warm tongue and the freezing ice turning him on more than he wouldâve thought.
When the ice has melted, you take another piece and brush it along his jaw, down his Adamâs apple and around his nipples. The cold temperature makes him squirm but he doesnât shy away from it, even closing his eyes to focus solely on the feeling. While you play with the ice cube, you also leave warm kisses all over his skin, reveling in its slightly salty taste from the thin layer of sweat. You let the ice cube melt between his abs and watch him wriggle as he sucks in a sharp breath, then grab another one, starting off where the previous one stopped. You circle his navel while your fingers play with the hem of his swimming trunks. He pulls them down himself and you chuckle at his eagerness. âI shouldâve known you liked the cold, with all those years of ice skating you did,â you tease. Â
Heâs almost fully hard, and it only takes a few kisses and trailing the ice cube down his inner thighs to have his dick fully erect. Heâd only been letting out small sighs and hisses until now, but when you grab another ice cube and circle it around his sensitive tip, he throws his head back into the pillows and moans loudly. You push your luck and drag the ice cube down his shaft, his thighs snapping together when it reaches his balls. You put it in your mouth and let it melt so that your tongue is still cold when you swirl it around his tip, already tasting precum there. But before you can take him further in your mouth, he calls out your name.
âWait. I donât wanna cum just yet. My turn.â
He shakes his shoulders in excitement as you switch positions, you taking your t-shirt and bikini top off and laying on your back and him sitting down with one knee on each side of your thighs, an ice cube in his hand and a giddy smile on his face.
He brushes it over your lips before pushing it just a bit into your mouth, holding onto it with two fingers while you suck on it, gazes locked in each other. Just as you did earlier, he trails it down your throat and your chest until they reach your nipples, marveling at the thin wet trail it leaves in its wake. He licks this trail as he circles one of your nipples with the ice cube, and you donât know if you should focus on his warm tongue or on the cold ice cube. Once itâs melted, he takes another one and circles your other nipple with it, his mouth coming to wrap around the now cold one. Your hands fly up to grab at his hair, your back arching into his touch as you moan and pant loudly.
He sucks and licks at your nipples until youâre calling out his name, begging for more. As nice as his mouth or an ice cube around your nipples feel, your pussy is throbbing and desperate for attention. âSunghoon⊠Please,â you whine.
âPlease what?â he teases, looking up from your breasts with a smirk.
You whine again, knowing he knows full well what you want. âPleaseâŠâ
He trails the ice cube down your stomach, circling your navel a few times where it melts before slipping two cold fingers underneath your bikini bottoms. âIs this what you want, baby?,â he asks as he rubs his fingers between his folds, and you whine at the feeling of having him so close to your hole and to your clit but not quite there either. He smirks when you nod frantically but whine at the loss of his fingers against you as he takes your bottoms off and reaches for another ice cube.
You release a loud moan and arch your back off the bed when the ice cube touches your clit. âFuck, Hoon!â
He rubs the ice cube up and down your folds, your heat melting it much faster than your skin. He takes another one and brings it to your entrance this time, circling around it before pushing the ice cube in and staring with wonder as it melts quickly. He holds your hips down so you stop bucking them up, whimpering at the amazing feeling of the ice against you. He replaces the ice cube with his fingers inside of you and his tongue on your clit, sucking expertly at the sensitive bud and lapping at your juices. And while it feels good - God, does it feel good - and you let Sunghoon know just how nice it feels with your moans, whispers of his names and the way you hold onto his hair, youâre craving something more.
Itâs something youâve been wanting for the past few days, but you couldnât quite put your finger on it. No matter how nice Sunghoonâs fingers and mouth felt, they didnât make you feel close to him enough. You wanted to be so close to him you didnât know where you ended and where he started; you wanted to feel him.Â
You pull him up by the face, asking him to come here and getting lost in his lips as soon as they reach your level. God, Sunghoonâs kisses. You could drown in them. But still, that craving, that need for more. And now that his body is pressed up against yours and you can feel his erection against your thigh, so close to your core, you think you know what it is that you want. âHmm, pleaseâŠâ
âYou keep asking me for something, but you donât tell me what it is.â
âYou. I want you, Hoon, please,â you beg, murmuring against his lips as you wrap your legs around his hips and bring him even closer, his cock now pressing against your cunt.
âM-me?,â he asks, leaning back just a bit, but you pull him back in right away, resting his forehead against yours.
âYes, please. I need to feel you inside me.â
Your words are enough to get a moan out of Sunghoon. âFuck, you have no idea how long Iâve been waiting for this,â he pants, planting kisses all over your face and neck. Usually, youâd giggle at the ticklish sensation, but right now, youâre so drunk on pleasure, it just makes your breath even shallower and your core wetter.
âHow long?â
âGod. Since the second time we kissed probably,â he replies, reaching for a condom in the drawer of his bedside table. You think back to that moment six weeks ago (how has it been six weeks already?, you think), after you and Sunghoon had made up and made out on his couch in front of a horror movie. Heâd wanted you for that long? And heâd waited for you to say something since then?
âTodayâs your lucky day, then,â you tease in an attempt to alleviate the need for him that takes over your bones, but his gaze when he looks back at you ruins any effort. If anything, it just makes you need him even more. You feel like you might explode if you donât have him right now.
You watch as he clumsily wraps the condom around his member, clearly never having done this before, but you wouldnât be of any help, so you let him figure it out on his own. You let your head fall back as he rubs his tip up and down your folds, gathering your slick on his dick before aligning himself at your entrance and giving you a long, deep kiss.
âAre you sure about this?â he asks, forehead on yours.
âYeah. Are you?â
âYeah, I am. But Iâm also scared.â
âScared of what, Hoon?â you ask, opening your eyes to look at him. You caress his cheek and cup his face in your hands, watching softly as he lets his head rest on your palm.
âIâm scared of hurting you. I heard it hurts the first time. And Iâm scaredâŠâ he closes his eyes and frowns a bit. âIâm scared itâll feel too good. That Iâll always want it. You.â
You take a small moment to think, your thumb brushing over his cheek in what you hope is a comforting manner. âYou wonât hurt me, Hoon. It only hurts if youâre not ready⊠And Iâm plenty ready. I know youâll take it slow.â You smile softly when he nods, turning his head to kiss your palm. But if sex is as good as youâve heard it is, youâre also scared that it might be the best thing youâve ever experienced and that youâll never get enough. You and Sunghoon have been meeting up almost everyday this summer and it has more often than not ended up with one of you between the otherâs legs; you could never get bored of the things he made you feel or of knowing you were making him feel those exact same things. If you couldnât live without his fingers, how could you live without his dick?
How could you live without him?
You tried to snap out of those thoughts, reassuring yourself that even before all of this you couldnât imagine yourself living without Sunghoon, and that there was no reason this should change anything. âAnd donât be scared of that, silly,â you say, making him smile. âIâll always be here, Sunghoon. Iâll always want you, too.âÂ
âFuck, okay,â he whispers, kissing your lips once before pulling himself up on his palms, hovering over you. âTell me if you need me to stop, yeah?â he asks and waits for you to nod before finally pushing in.
You instantly moan when you feel his tip inside you, and Sunghoon stops, frantically asking if youâre okay. It takes some convincing to get him to push himself further in. âIt feels so good, Hoon. Please keep going.â
You tell him to not stop until heâs fully inside you, and he obeys, even though he wants to stop when he sees your frown and your sharp intakes of breath. When heâs buried to a hilt, he canât help but collapse on top of you, burying his face in your neck and wrapping his arms tightly around your waist. âY/N,â he drawls out. âFeels so fucking good. So tight,â he murmurs against your neck.
âMmh. Give me a minute, baby.â Your hands caress up and down the expanse of his back and you feel him relax on top of you. As you adjust around his length, the stretch starts to feel more and more pleasurable, until pleasure is the only thing you feel. âHoon?â
âYeah?â he says, kissing and nibbling softly at your neck and earlobe.
âYou can move, now.â
Sunghoon doesnât need to be told twice and ever-so-slowly slides out of you, leaving only the tip in before he slides back in. His thrusts are slow but deep, and itâs everything youâve ever wanted and more. Heâs barely started but youâre both already whimpering messes, holding onto each other tightly as pleasure like neither of you has felt before takes over your entire bodies.
As you both get more comfortable, his pace picks up just a tiny bit and you tentatively raise your legs higher so that theyâre hooked around the back of his knees instead of laying on the bed. The new angle only adds to the intense pleasure, but you donât even realize youâre crying until Sunghoon stops mid-thrust, wiping your tears with his thumb and worryingly asking if youâre okay and if it hurts and if he should stop. You open your eyes and smile, instantly calming his nerves. You bring his head closer to yours and kiss him like youâd stop breathing if you didnât. âIt feels so fucking good, Hoon. So, so good.â
He sighs out of relief and resumes his actions, heart swelling with pride that heâs making you feel so good, youâre crying. Heâs always hated seeing you cry or hurt in general; but knowing what kind of tears these are, he thinks you look so pretty with tears streaming down your face. His hands grip your thighs a bit tighter as he quickens his pace, already addicted to the feeling of your warm walls taking him in so well.
He slips out a few times but youâre always quick to guide him back inside you. He lifts his body up a bit to get a deeper angle, hoping itâll get him to stop slipping out, and heâs blown away by the sight underneath him. He thinks youâve never looked so gorgeous as you do now, legs spread wide for him, cheeks flushed, brows furrowed and mouth agape for him. He kisses your tears, the salty taste bringing a smile to his lips. âSo perfect,â he whispers against your mouth. âYou look so beautiful.â
Sunghoon takes your legs and wraps them higher around his hips, the new angle hitting a spot inside you thatâs making you see stars and has you moaning his name like itâs the only thing you know how to say. You feel that familiar tension build up inside your stomach much faster and much stronger than it usually does.
âFuck, Sunghoon, Iâm gonna cum,â you warn, and a harsher thrust inside you is what pushes you over the edge, the sensation crashing into you and making your thighs shake. An orgasm has never hit you this hard before.
Youâre clenching around him like crazy and Sunghoon gasps as you milk him dry, his own orgasm hitting him all at once. He shoots his release inside the condom and stills inside you, breath completely taken away by the sudden, overwhelming sensation.
He lays on top of you for a moment as you both catch your breaths, trying to make sense of how something can feel this good without killing you instantly. He apologizes when his pulling out makes you wince and kisses the top of your head. He rolls onto his back, pulling you with him so that youâre now almost lying on top of him, head against his chest as his arms wrap themselves around you. You leave kisses all over his chest and neck and his hands caress your back.
âThat was amazing.â
âI know, right?â he responds immediately, his enthusiasm making you laugh.
âThanks, Hoon,â you say timidly, voice muffled against his skin.
âFor what?â
âFor making me feel this good.â
He chuckles. âNo need to thank me, pretty. If anything, I should thank you for letting me make you feel good, and on top of that making me feel good.â
You hum at his words and you both stay there for a bit longer, enjoying each otherâs warmth. Something blooms inside your chest, and you donât know whether to let it grow or to squash it down. It feels nice, almost too nice, and youâre scared it might get ripped away from you and it wonât feel so nice then.
Friendship, sex, love. In those weeks spent with Sunghoon, those previously clear lines have blurred to a point they were all one big messy ball of feelings and not three distinct things you could tell apart. Has sex turned your friendship with Sunghoon into something romantic? Or is that just an illusion, and being so intimate with your best friend has messed up your once platonic vision of him? But was your vision of him ever platonic?
Haven't the two of you always been teased about liking each other for a reason? After all, you and Sunghoon didn't grow up together, and heâs never felt like a brother to you. He has always been your male friend; youâve always been aware that he was your friend who was also a boy. When you'd moved in the house next to his, you hadnât instantly clicked; it took a while for the ice skating prodigy to warm up to you, but his parents had warmly welcomed yours into the neighborhood and quickly became friends, so it was only a matter of time before heâd open up to the idea of you being around. Constantly.
Youâd walk to and from school together, do homework together, go on family trips together, cheer each other on at your respective competitions. After his ice skating lessons, when his coach let him have the whole place to himself for a bit more practice, heâd tie your ice skates for you and drag you onto the ice rink, holding you by the waist or shoulders as he skated backwards in front of you, but also laughing at you when you inevitably fell. Heâd tease you for getting second place at the science fair or for getting your arguments torn apart during Model United Nations, but the way heâd be a little nicer to you or share his food more often that week wouldnât escape you.
Being a handsome young ice skater, Sunghoon had developed quite the loyal following of boys and girls alike who would come to see him at his competitions. He thrived off of the attention, but no matter how much he enjoyed his fansâ admiration, you were always the one heâd skate to after having won first place, hugging you tightly over the barrier separating the ice from the bleachers. Especially during your younger teen years, Sunghoon wasnât one for skinship or PDA, so it always meant that much more to you that even after his most important wins, you were the first thing on his mind. It never failed to make your stomach flip, and all the death stares from his fans in the world couldnât have changed a thing.
You were already close, but you became practically inseparable after Sunghoonâs injury. During the competition that would have gotten him a place at the Youth Winter Olympics had he won, his nerves got the best of him and he didnât land his triple axel, hurting his ankle in the process. Ten years of dedication and hard work, ruined in mere seconds. To say that it destroyed him would be an understatement.
You were the one to bring him back up. You listened to him when he needed to vent, held him when he needed a shoulder to cry on, cheered him up when he needed to smile. He didnât even need to tell you what he needed, you seemed to just know. You reminded him that he had a lot more value than his medals and trophies and that he didnât need them to be complete. His family and friends tried their best to make him feel better, but their words never reached him quite like yours did.
Slowly but surely, his confidence came back. Heâd lost his fans, but heâd gained a friend he knew would always be there for him. His dimples would appear more often, his laugh would resonate louder. His injury had made the two of you grow closer, creating a bond that would only strengthen over time.
And yet there were moments when being friends wasnât enough. When calling him your best friend didnât feel right. You had other friends, friends you were close to; sure, maybe not as close as to Sunghoon, but close nonetheless. And you didnât feel that way around them.
Their laugh didnât make your heart skip a beat. You didnât want to bury your face in their necks and breathe in their scent when they hugged you. You didnât want to know every single detail of their day. And you surely didnât feel a pang of jealousy in your chest when they danced with another girl at your school ball.
You also didnât crave their lips on yours every single day since it had happened for the first time and didnât want to see what they sounded or looked like while getting the life sucked out of them through their dick.
Everybody told you it was obvious you were âmore than friends.â Why did romantic love have to be âmoreâ than platonic love? Why were there levels to it? You didnât like the idea of taking your relationship with Sunghoon âone step furtherâ; that wasnât the way it felt to you. Rather, it felt like having to change everything you knew and create something new. Something where you could see him laugh and tell him about your day, but where you could also kiss him and graze his skin with your fingertips. Something that only you could share with him and only he could share with you. But you were afraid the friendship would fall apart if things didn't work out. So, instead of taking the risk of changing everything, you made sure things would stay the same. Youâd tell the butterflies raging in your stomach to settle down and you wouldnât let yourself fall into his touch in case itâd be like falling from the highest mountain.
That is, until he kissed you. Until this moment, right now, lying in his arms, ear right over his heart so you can hear it beat for you. You look up at him. His eyes are closed and a soft smile rests on his lips. He looks so peaceful. He always looks pleased when youâve just been together, but right now, he seems to be in such a serene state, it almost makes you laugh.
Now that youâve given in to your feelings, youâve realized just how strong they were this whole time. Nothing has ever felt better than being in Sunghoonâs arms, than being able to see him at his most vulnerable state and to give all of you to him. All those things you didnât know about him just six weeks ago, you know them by heart now. Youâre sure thereâs other things to find out, and youâll make sure you will.
But summer wonât last forever.
A wave of sadness slaps you right in the face, bringing you back to reality. Thereâll come a time where you and Sunghoon wonât be able to lounge around all day or lazily make-out at your will. Youâll go your own ways and not see each other for months at a time. The thought of that is unbearable, and you feel like looking at Sunghoon for a second longer might rip your heart into a million pieces.
When you sit up, tearing yourself away from his grip, he immediately opens his eyes, asking whatâs wrong.
âJust need to go to the bathroom. I heard you can get STIs from not peeing after sex,â you half-lie. He nods and falls back into the bed.Â
You rush to the toilet, needing to get far away from Sunghoon as quickly as possible. Even your pee smells different - guess thatâs what having a dick inside you will do to you. You wash your hands and look in the mirror: your skin is darker in some spots, surely Sunghoonâs work. So not only did he mess with your thoughts, he also had to make your body all weird, too?
You splash your face with cold water, hoping it will bring you back to your senses. You and Sunghoon have been best friends for years. Thereâs no point in changing all of that now, is there? Youâll be leaving soon enough, anyway. Why ruin a perfectly fine friendship for a summer fling?
Those are your thoughts as you head back to Sunghoonâs bedroom, ready to tell him that this whole thing was a mistake and you should just pretend it never happened. But your resolve crumbles at your feet as soon as you step inside the room.
Sunghoonâs got a couple of snacks ready as he browses through Netflix in search of an appropriate movie. âHow about Twilight?â he says when he feels the bed dip under your weight next to him. He kisses your forehead and pulls you down on the bed with him so that youâre lying back against his chest.
Screw it, you think. Whatever this is, itâs much more than a summer fling.
--
The rest of the summer goes by in a flash. No, you donât try to make Sunghoon jealous by flirting with Heeseung; if the mention of the latterâs name was enough to get your friend mad, then purposefully twirling your hair or batting your eyelashes at the older boy just might make Sunghoon white-boy-punch a hole into a wall. And itâs not like Heeseung would try coming onto you, either, with how clingy Sunghoon gets when heâs around, always an arm around your waist and a glare that could kill Heeseung.
Sunghoon gradually opens up to Heeseung being around, even though it takes you reminding him almost daily that heâs the one whose arms you wanna end up in over anybodyâs. After a couple weeks, Sunghoon stops looking like he's on the brink of starting a fight every time Heeseung so much as talks to you or hands you a glass of lemonade, and finally relaxes around him.
You spend countless sleepless nights with Sunghoon. Youâve probably memorized every single one of his moles by now, and youâve made sure to kiss all of them. He holds you against him like he might lose you at any given moment. The only nights you donât fall asleep in each otherâs embrace are when either one of you is sleeping over at your friendâs house. On those nights, sleep always takes hours before washing over you, the lack of warmth keeping you awake.
Your friends and you spend entire days at the lake or by Sunghoonâs pool, not a care in the world. You rest your head on Sunghoonâs shoulder as you watch the fireworks Jake and Jay bought go off. Sunghoon grills your marshmallows for you, blowing on them so they cool down before handing you the stick. You try to ignore how the night air gets slightly chillier and how the sun sets slightly earlier, but by the last days of August, it becomes too noticeable. When September rolls around, youâre sure thereâs a small crack in your heart.
You know Sunghoon feels the end of summer too. His kisses are deeper and his lips linger over yours a second longer. He frowns when he kisses you and hugs you, like heâs trying to remember what it feels like. His usual playful demeanor when youâre in bed together is gone, instead seemingly hellbent on making you feel good and almost begging you to say his name. As if you could say any other name. As if you could say anything else.
Neither of you mention your departure until the night before you leave. After spending the evening with your friends, you lie together in bed, the side of your face resting against his chest so you can feel his heart against your ear. Heâs tracing patterns with his fingertips on your back, and it takes you a while to figure out heâs spelling his name over and over again, as if to etch it in your skin. When, once in a while, he takes his hand off of you to reach for his phone, you can still feel his fingers caressing you, ghostlike against your skin.
The air around you feels heavy, pressing the both of you down into the mattress. You wish the bed would eat you alive so you could stay there, warm against each other, as long as you like. You know you canât leave without talking first, but the words wonât come to you. Instead, they float around the bed, weighing your heart down into your stomach.
âSo,â you start. You're unsure what to say, but you know this conversation has to happen, one way or another. In the end, you settle on, âExcited to leave?â
Sunghoon scoffs lightly, his motions on your back coming to a stop. âNot really, no. Itâs not like Iâm leaving that far, and half of our school is going to our uni.â
âMaybe, but thereâll be tons of other people. Tons of other girls, too,â you add after a short pause.
âDonât do this, Y/N, please.â
You sit up at his words. He covers his eyes with his forearm and takes a deep breath in, sensing an incoming argument. âDo what?â
âThis. Getting mad at me when I havenât done anything.â
âIâm not mad at you,â you protest, frowning down at him.
âNo? Then whatâs this?â he says, smoothing down the lines between your eyebrows and on your forehead with the pad of a finger.
âWhatever.â You nudge your head away from his touch. It burns. âItâs not like Iâm wrong, anyway. Youâre gonna have a bunch of girls at your feet, and youâll know what to do with them, right? Now that youâre not a virgin?â you question, avoiding his gaze.
âY/NâŠâ he sighs, shutting his eyes tighter as if in pain.
âWhat? This was the whole reason why, right? Get experience with me so you could fuck girls better, no?â
âY/N!â he says, raising his voice enough to let you know heâs upset but not enough to scare you. He sits up, looking at you with hurt and disbelief in his eyes. âWhatâs this all of a sudden? Itâs not like I forced you into this! We agreed on it together!â
âSo you agree? That this summer was just about getting experience and now youâll use it on other girls and pretend like we,â you gesture between the two of you, ânever happened?â
âWhat do you mean âagreeâ? I never said any of this! Donât put words into my mouth!â
He watches as you get up from the bed, arms crossed and pacing his room. He calls out to you a few times, but you donât stop to look at him until he speaks your name with a sternness youâve never heard before from him. âWhat?â you snap.
âI donât get why youâre acting like this out of nowhere! We both knew summer was gonna end at some point, and why we were doing this! Why are you blaming me now?â
âBecause⊠becauseâŠâ you sigh, scrambling for an excuse. Why were you doing this? The thought of Sunghoon doing what he did to you to another girl, making her feel as good as he had made you feel, kissing her like he had kissed you, made you sick. It made you see red, it made you want to make him wear a shirt with your face on it so everybody knew he was yours.
Sunghoon gets up and stands close in front of you, too close. You close your eyes. If you see his moles, you might reach out to touch them and let yourself fall even more. If you fall, youâll need to get up, but his scent makes your knees weak.
His hands find your face, holding a little too gently, you think. Your small ones wrap around his wrists and grip them, a little too harshly, he thinks.Â
You take a step back and finally look into his eyes. Thereâs hope in them; hope youâll say what he wants, what he needs to hear. That you want him like he wants you. That you wish summer wasnât over. That youâll keep him in your heart until you can see him again. So, when what you say next is none of the above, he feels his heart sink down to his feet, leaving a murky puddle there.
âI canât do this.â
You rush out of the room, practically running home. You fight your tears back until you slam your bedroom behind you, pathetically sinking to the ground as you let out a loud sob. You don't have the energy to get up, and cry into your hoodie's sleeve right there on the floor.
When youâve calmed down a bit, you get up and lay in your bed, hiding your whole body underneath the covers. Maybe this is for the best, you think. If you end it like this, you wonât have the knowledge of whether heâll wait to have you back or heâll move on like nothing happened. That way, you can do whatever you want, not caring about what heâs up to.Â
But even now, your hands subconsciously reach out towards a person thatâs not there and your feet hang over the edge of your bed as though to get up and run to him anytime. You curl in on yourself to stop your body from aching for him. It doesnât work very well.
Sunghoon stays where you left him for a few minutes, too stunned to move. Should he run after you? Should he let you cool off for a bit and talk to you in the morning? Would you be mad at him if he didnât try to see you now or would the mere sight of him just make you angrier? He plops down on his bed as these questions run through his mind, butting into each other and making everything more confusing.Â
He thinks back on everything that led to this, and his mind settles on that day a few days after graduation where his thoughts had dropped to the lowest pits of hell. If only you hadnât brought those two damned lollipops.
--
The next morning, Sunghoon wakes up as if somebody had slapped him awake. He doesnât bother to brush his teeth or eat anything before running over to your house, almost forgetting to put shoes on. He finds you in your room, packing the last of your things into an already full suitcase. He stands at your door, panting as his hands rest on his knees.
âYou havenât left yet. Thank God.â
âGod, Hoon. Itâs not that far between your house and mine. How are you so out of breath,â you say, glancing at him from the corner of your eye.
He walks to you and kneels in front of you, taking you in his arms before you can say anything. âTalk to me, please. Donât leave like this. Iâd never forgive myself if you left and you were mad at me, Y/N.â
You thought youâd cried so much last night that there was not a single drop of water left in your body, but you thought wrong. Your eyes immediately well up at his words, and he leans back when he hears a soft sniffle escaping you. Only then does he notice how puffy your eyes from all your crying.
âNo, no⊠Have you been crying? Iâm so sorry, pretty, please donât cry,â he pouts, pulling you back into his embrace. It hasnât even been half a day, but you missed his warmth so much, it only makes you cry harder.
After sobbing against his chest, possibly staining his shirt in the process, you pull away and in your light-headed, dehydrated state, spill your heart out. âItâs so stupid,â you sob. âWeâre not gonna see each other for months and Iâm gonna miss you so much and I donât want you to be with other girls. I want you all to myself and I donât want to be your friend that you fucked for a summer just so you could get experience, it was a stupid idea in the first place, if you wanted to kiss me, you shouldâve just kissed me. But you didnât just kiss me and now Iâm scared that this all meant nothing to you but everything to me and that I donât want to be friends anymore but you do and Iâm mad that it took me all summer to say this even though Iâve known it for years but I didnât want to admit it to myself but also you didnât say anything and Iâm mad about that too. Because thereâs no way you donât feel like I do but maybe you actually donât and-â
Whatever you were about to say dies out against Sunghoonâs lips as he presses his lips to yours, interrupting your rambling. He pulls away, looking at you with a huge, stupid grin. Heâs so stupid, you think. I love him so much.
âFucking hell, Y/N. Iâve been waiting for you to say this so bad, you have no idea.â
You punch his chest, frowning at him. Those stupid tears wonât stop. Everything is so stupid. âThen why didnât you say it first?â
âBecause I didnât know how to. You know Iâm bad with words. And I was scared itâd make things weird.â
âI donât want things to be weird,â you pout.
âI donât want things to be weird, either. I want things to be nice and happy.â
You giggle. âThatâs so stupid.â
âRight? Itâs so stupid,â he repeats, kissing you again.
âYour breath smells,â you complain when he pulls away.
âAnd you have tears on your lips. Tastes salty,â he teases.
âYeah, thanks to who?â
âSorry.â He smiles and kisses you again. He holds you against him for a while, enjoying this last moment together. As long as he can see a smile on your face before you leave, heâll be fine.
âIâm gonna miss you so much too, Y/N. And forget about those non-existent girls. Thereâs no one Iâd rather be with than you.â
âHow do you know? You havenât met any of them yet,â you say, voice muffled against his t-shirt.
âIâve met other girls before. None of them compare to you,â he says, and you immediately gag at how clichĂ© it sounds. âWhat?! Itâs true,â he giggles.
âYouâre not gonna go and date a random guy, are you?â
âOf course not. None of them compare to you,â you say, lowering your voice to imitate his.
He helps you finish packing, and when youâre done, you lay together on your bed, not saying much because not much needs to be said. Your parents struggle to tear you away from each other and from your bed when itâs time to leave. He helps your dad put your baggage in the trunk of his car, telling you to not lift a finger so you watch him go to and from the car, leaving a kiss on your forehead every time he walks past you. You notice with a smile that he doesnât carry much at once, making him have to go back-and-forth quite often.
After saying goodbye to your family, your dad waits in the car as you and Sunghoon hang back awkwardly, kicking small pebbles on the pavement. He takes your hand in his, making you look up at him, then takes the other hand, then hugs you close to him.
âIâm gonna miss you,â you say, as if that wasnât obvious. Youâre trying hard to fight tears from falling again, but itâs like thereâs an ocean behind your eyes, water somehow never running out.Â
âI already miss you,â he says, and thatâs enough to get you to sob again, which makes him start crying too. Youâre crying, heâs crying, your mom is crying from the porch as she watches the two of you, itâs a mess.
You force yourself away from him, cupping his face in your hands. âWeâll see each other soon, okay? And college will be fun. You wonât even have time to miss me. But make time to think about me, yeah? And text me.â
âI will. Iâll think about you all the time, I already do,â he says.
âOkay,â you whisper and hug him one last time, very briefly, pressing a kiss to his cheek. Youâre about to walk away but he doesnât let go of your hand and pulls on your arm to bring you back to him.
Pressing his forehead against yours, he whispers, âI love you,â and you sob.
âI love you, too.â
This time, when you walk away, he lets you go. He watches as you get into the passengerâs seat and as the car drives away, as it takes you away from him. You watch him stand there in the rearview mirror, until his silhouette becomes smaller, and smaller, and smaller, until you canât see him at all anymore.
--
Summer went and fall came as they do every year. Dead leaves are falling but itâs a new start for you. Itâs a new town and you donât know anybody, but you click instantly with your roommate and make new friends throughout your first week there. You realize everybodyâs in the same boat, and theyâre all eager to meet people and are curious about college life. You love your classes but complain about them nonetheless. You eat more ramen than youâd like to admit and turn up hungover at a 9 am class on a Thursday. You pull all-nighters at the library and develop a caffeine dependency. Youâre a college student.
You and Sunghoon were very dramatic when you left, you soon realize. You call almost everyday. Heâs not there with you and you miss him but at least you donât have to pretend youâre not stupidly in love with him anymore. Because itâs stupid, being in love, it really is. You wouldnât trade it for the world.
Your first semester passes by almost too quickly, and before you know it, youâre on the drive home, already one eighth of the way through university. Youâre excited to go home, but Sunghoonâs finals last a week longer so you wait around for him. When you complain about it, Chaeyoung tells you to get a grip. âYou havenât seen him in three months, Iâm sure you can handle another week.â
And you can, but barely. You were about to explode but then heâs back and youâre in his arms and his hair is still so soft, his scent is still so comforting and his moles are still there. You kiss them both before you finally press your lips to his, and it makes you feel so alive, you could die right then and there.
You lie on his bed and talk for hours as if you didnât keep in touch the whole time and itâs like you never left. Itâs like summer never ended and youâve just been lying in his bed the whole time, college just one big fever dream.Â
But his skin doesnât smell like chlorine anymore, and heâs not in his swimming trunks. Itâs fall, almost winter, and youâre kissing Park Sunghoon. You realize you can kiss him whatever the season and you find comfort in that. It was a big day (you cried a lot when you saw him) and youâre tired so you think youâll kiss for a bit and thatâll be all but then he whispers âI missed you so muchâ against your neck and a fire lights inside your stomach. Oh, how it burns. You think it might consume you whole, but you donât dislike that idea.
In a flash, youâre on top of him, his shirt is off, your shirt is off, but itâs not enough so you take your pants off too and Sunghoon is confused as to why youâre going so fast, but follows you anyway. âWhatâs going on?â he asks when youâre done with the taking off of your clothes and have moved on to kissing and biting at his neck like itâs your first meal in ages, because it is.
âI missed you too,â you simply answer, and he smirks as he nods slowly, now understanding your eagerness.
âMissed me that much, huh?â he teases, letting his head fall back against the pillow so you have better access to his neck.
âShut up. Kiss me,â you order, and he doesnât need to be told twice. Your kisses are ravenous and desperate, very fitting for two horny people in love who havenât seen each other in months. But the pulse in your core makes you too impatient to stay anywhere for too long, and really, itâs not your fault if youâre grinding down onto Sunghoonâs clothed erection, itâs just that he smells too good and you missed him too much.
Sunghoon laughs at you for being so impatient to hide just how impatient he is. His giggles keep him from moaning loudly enough to wake the whole house, and you laugh as you tell him to stop laughing.
âIâm serious. I missed you so much. Need you so bad,â you say as you get rid of your underwear and quickly do the same for his. He gasps when he feels you take his dick in your hand and brush its tip between your folds, both out of pleasure and out of surprise.
âShouldnât I get you ready? Stretch you out a bit?â he asks, his hands roaming up and down your back as he sits up on the bed so that youâre straddling his lap, and you shake your head no. Youâre probably already embarrassingly wet from your short makeout session, anyway.
âI donât care if it hurts,â you say, lining his tip with your entrance. âNeed to feel you.â
You sink down on his cock, the both of you releasing loud moans at the long-awaited feeling. He lets you adjust to his size for a minute, but as soon as you move your hips just a bit, signaling to him that youâre ready for more, itâs over for you. He wanted to be patient and take his time, he really did, but you feel so warm around him and your small whimpers are so pretty that his resolve of letting you take the lead is thrown out the window. He pounds into you at a rapid pace that has you biting his shoulder to keep yourself from screaming.
You had imagined your first time back with Sunghoon so many times before. It usually involved a nice playlist in the background, fairy lights and candles lighting the room, hours of foreplay and sensual lovemaking, with a nice bath afterwards. Sometimes, when you were particularly needy for him, you imagined something closer to what was actually happening, where youâd rip each otherâs clothes as soon as you got to the bedroom and fucked like animals (a bit much, admittedly, but you really missed him).
What you definitely hadnât expected, however, was that youâd both cum in less than five minutes. What could you do, though, when he was hitting your g-spot over and over again, his length stretching you perfectly as he whispered in your ear how much heâd missed you and how good you felt? And what could he do when you took him in so well, clinging onto him as you told him how much youâd missed him and how good he felt?
You finish at the same time, hole clenching around him and milking him dry. He doesnât pull out for a while, letting you collapse onto him as you both catch your breaths, just like you had that first time. âThat was a bit quick,â he pants, and you canât help but laugh.Â
You pull back to look at his face. Itâs so pretty and stupid. What a stupid face that you love so much. Do you love it because itâs stupid or is it stupid because you love it? You think that thatâs a stupid question, and you kiss the mole on his nose, then the mole on his cheek, right next to his nose.
âWe have all night to go slower.â
âWe have all Christmas break,â he corrects.
We have the rest of our lives, you think, and you think that might be a bit much, but you say it anyway. Sunghoon hums and says, âyes, we do,â and you think maybe itâs not all that stupid.
Maybe itâs the greatest thing thatâs ever been.
