WHY DID THEY DO MY BABYBOY LASS (T) SO DIRTY 😭😭😭

WHY DOES HE LOOK SO GENERIC SO SOULLESS IM DO MAD

[loudlypanickinginvenezolano]

Amusing.

«And this, you mother fucker, is why we can’t want nice things. There is an actual risk of them becoming true, and then we will fucking panic because we don’t know that to do. Did you want kisses? There are your cursed kisses, you whiny! And you can’t kiss back nor pet or…or… Fuck this shit. » Silver is trying his best, Shadow is still very confused, and Sonic...He´s in there, somewhere... (Working title and summary. Going to change them when I have something more solid to put in.) Even though only Shadow and Silver appear in this chapter, Sonic is in there. He is going to appear in the second chapter. So, yes, this is a triple s.

Part one, because I have no self control and this is too large.

In AO3 as well. [But I didnt cut it cuz I was lazy. Maybe later.]

It was amusing, and something that even now surprised Shadow to no ends. His life, now, consisted in a lot of things he never thought about, he never though he could have, hell, things he didn’t even knew existed! So, in a sense, it would be normal for him to have never ever imagined something like this could happen, to him none the less! But it has, and it was… right this second, even!

He looked over his shoulder, gazing straight at his fluffy boyfriend who was sitting by the counter, staring at, well, him, like a very small puppy would. Once he noticed Shadow was looking, he flushed a bit, but didn’t gaze away. Actually, he seemed to preen a bit at having the ebony attention on him, smiling softly, dopey almost, and eagerly sitting straighter, as if showing off his height. The whole display made Shadow look away, chuckling a bit under his breath, feeling how his own cheeks seemed to warm up a bit. It was almost a giddy feeling, his stomach rolling, and his usual stoic stance yeeting itself off the window without asking Shadows opinions first. It was stressing, and annoying as hell. Staying calm and in control of himself seemed to get harder every time, and it wasn’t for the rage or sadness anymore, not at all, at least, but by this very confusing I-don’t-know-how-to-explain-what-I’m-feeling feeling, or this whole shame and need that seemed to take over his whole body wherever they touched, like, you just got a kiss, why do you need another one?! Stop being so clingy and needy, you are going to bore them! Just lay down, go to sleep! What?! No! Stop staring at their hands, you idiot, they are going to notice! Sleep on your side! Sleep on your fucking side you Disaster-bitch! Don’t you dare roll over to them, doesn’t matter how “Oh, soft and fluffy” they look! Don’t you fuckin-Wa-Wah! Oh god! Oh, my chaos! Why is Sonic hugging us?! He didn’t!-He didn’t send a notice first! It was, it was so sudden? How are we supposed to react to this!? We are not ready, we really ARE NOT READY! He is, he is snuggling? Oh my why is he so cute? Who said it was allowed?! We want to fill a compliant! Nono! Don’t you dare tense up nor make a fucking sound, don’t you dare to wake him up! Shit! Had it gotten hotter in here somehow? Their face was going to melt! Was really ruining him. The temptation of just jumping in, out of the blue, and kissing their face or biting on their shoulders was so strong sometimes…He looked down at the mushy thing in front of him, barely time enough to hold the palette once again before he felt a warm weight settling on his back, careful as always with Shadow spines, and maybe not so thick, but definitely strong arms hugging him tightly. — Hiii~. — Silver sung softly on Shadows ear, giggling happily at seeing both of them twitch and fold in reflex. [I almost wrote Infinite instead of Silver. Wow, the ideas.]

Yas. Ok. Thank you, that is…that was exactly what Shadow needed. A reminder of how much of a freaking walking gay disaster he is.

Fighting with claws and fangs and every little bit of sense he had the oh so big urge of squirming, and the even bigger want of leaning into that white chest fluff and purring because, Oh damn, Shadow, who could have been the image of composure and coolness, kept mixing smoothly, soft yet firm wrists moves as a simple “Hello” fell out his mouth.

Nailed it.

— Are you doing other of this, eh, Things? — He didn’t sound sarcastic nor upset in any kind of way while asking, unlike Sonic, who very much did; Instead, Silver seemed to be genuinely curious, staring obviously at Shadows hands and work in progress in his usual child-like fascination. It sometimes made Shadow want to give him another kick in the head thanks to the frustration, but this time, it was almost… endearing. The attention he received from his boyfriend usually threatened with making him blush extremely or freezing him up completely, it was…almost overwhelming, but in a good sense? So…Supportive? Yas! That is what it was!

It completely frightened him.

— Yes. — That was what Shadow always answered when asked, “What are you doing?”

A thing. It was short, true, and didn’t give any detail away. Nonetheless, to be honest, most of the time it was very obvious that he was cooking something, or doing some kind of thing for maybe a kinda craft project? He just…He was just doing things. Sonic hated when he answered like that, though. He would whine, glare, scoff, or walk away, sometimes a rather strange mix of them and a bit more, that always left Shadow blinking and in complete blank.

And Shadow was supposed to be the drama king?

— It smells funny. — Silver declared with a small laugh, perching his head on top of Shadows and looking at his boyfriend work the…flour? (Was that-What was that?) With his fingers now. —I like this. Whatever you are doing, I dunnu, I like it. A lot. I really do.

—Why? — Shadow couldn’t help but ask, wishing to look up into his boyfriends face, but not doing so in order of not dislodging him. This. This was…was part of the long list of things that he couldn’t understand of Silver. If he didn’t knew what the fuck was Shadow doing, and was just seeing him watering the flour, then, how could he like it so much? Say it so confidently, with so much honesty on his voice… How?

—Be-ca-use~…—He sung, again, drumming his fingers against Shadows skin, breathing deeply and sighing so contently Shadows own lungs ached. — I get to see you, and everything you are doing. And you are happy.

«…Ah~…? »

As if sensing his confusion, Silver gave an embarrassed grin, and went on in an explication.

— You are soooo happy and relaxed, you look soo calm, elegant, even, and focused in what you are doing! And I like that! I like how I can hug you tightly, and admire how pretty, erm, precise! Your hands move. — As if trying to prove his point, he squeezed Shadow strongly, which stole a small squeak out of the ebony. Silver had fucking lifted him! — I like that one a lot. I like seeing what you are doing a real lot, being close enough so I can-I can…

—Yes?

— Smell it! Or hear it! I really like it all, how calming and neat you make everything look, even if things go wrong or the kitchen gets messy, you just-just…make it work! You are relaxed, and happy, and so am I. —He changed his position just the slightly bit necessary for him to be able to look at Shadows pretty face without losing or wavering his strong grip for one second, waiting for their eyes to connect before smiling widely. He pecked Shadow warm cheek one, two, three…four and five times before just giving up and nuzzling him enthusiastically, hands kneading and chest rumbling with a very low but pleased purr. (Oh, how much did he love to do this?!) Silver had gotten that habit from Blaze, kneading with his hands-paw in these kind of situations, though he knew as a hard fact that Shadow did it as well. Why? Well, it was just a mystery! (He had never gotten the courage enough to directly ask his boyfriend from where he picked it up, so he just made up stories on his mind. Still, a mystery. ) — I enjoy it, hearing the knife cutting the dried fruit, how your fingers rub the flour and your knuckles tap the bowl, the bubbling when you boil something, the cling of the plates and glass, your laugh or humming… I love it. I love seeing it, I love hearing it, I love…Jeez, even smelling it once it is out of the oven, and how the vanilla, cinnamon or mint or whatever smell will cling into you and follow into our bed. Can you believe the cravings or the weird dreams I´ve gotten thanks to it? Its-Its nuts!

Silver was happy, so freaking happy. He laughed and smiled while talking, always looking straight at Shadow and touching him here, and here, and there and just… couldn’t stay quiet. (How could he?! Shadows fur was always so soft and they were so close and…there! ) He sounded… passionate, almost. And that was exactly what he wanted. What he honestly felt! He was trying to show his interest in Shadows tastes, be a very Supportive Boyfriend™, and highlight that he actually enjoyed this and wasn’t just faking it nor seeing it as an obligation. He wanted to connect with both of his boyfriends, show that he paid attention to them, and that their likes were a very important thing to him. He wanted to be there for them and keep them happy for as long as he could.

Shadow couldn’t hold his snickers anymore at that last line, looking away and basically hiding his smile on his shoulder, which almost made Silver whine in protest. Because, Shadow, Why? His heart was beating quickly, Silver could feel it under his hands, and his cheeks were clearly flushed, even if it wasn’t that strong. It was an almost bashful look what he had, and during Silvers confession, his ears and hell, even his tail, had perked up and twitched occasionally, the last one grinding lazily against Silvers body every so. It was…perfect. So cute, like, Silver couldn’t even.

He must have two of the cutest, and prettier, and sexier boyfriends in the whole past.

—I love holding you, also, just like this… I love you~… I just love you a big lot.

—Oh my chaos, will you ever stop? —Shadow grumbled, cutting Silver rather abruptly and taking him by surprise. — What is this, any kind of thesis? Cut it already, you sap.

Silver found himself gaping for a second, completely dumbfounded. Shadows words stung for a few seconds, and had him blinking and lowering his ears. He snorted then, beaming once again and hugging him tighter than before, hearing more clearly that very low “Mmmmmmmmhhhhhh” long sound. — O-Oh man, I really embarrassed you with that one, Did I not?

Shadow ears were the ones lowering this time.

—Was it…that obvious? —He questioned quietly, and Silver only response was more laughs which only deepened (And wasn’t that a feat!) Shadows blush. Another shower of small kisses peppered all over the ebony face was what followed, as well as a little tease.

—Oh dear, you got as red as a tomato. —Silver snorted, holding Shadow firmly so he couldn’t shy away from his grasp and kisses. He was currently turning his head and pushing slightly with his own body, lifting his shoulders and curling in a poorly made attempt to protect himself. Hands covered in thick gloves and that funny smelling thing laid unmoving in the crystal bowl, twitching with laughter and repressed need to shove. — Stay quiet! C’mon Shadow, let me love you! Accept my love~!

Silver kept giggling and doing obnoxious kissing sounds as he left “loving smooches” and tickling touches on every bit of Shadow he could reach, ignoring how he kept muttering continuous demands for him to stop.

Because, yes, Shadow wasn’t pleading nor begging, and he certainly wasn’t laughing with his boyfriend; No. he was firmly demanding him to leave him alone and to fucking stop tickling him. It was just that he was being ignored and. Well. Maybe he wasn’t fighting that hardly... Shadow was going to find a way to send his retribution to Silver in the moment the younger expected it the least, either way.

[He is in denial don’t believe him, LMAO.]

It must… it must have been planned beforehand. Shadow couldn’t push Silver away without making a mess that then he was going to have to clean, not to mention the additional problem of washing Silvers furs clean of flour, nor could he move brusquely without damaging the bowl. It was… it was…

«Oh my chaos why do you do this to meeeeeeeeeeee! » He whined while mentally squirming. «This is so fucking unfair. Why? WHY? Oh hell don’t touch there! I hate this. I freaking hate this. Oh, but WHY you can touch me but I can’t? That is not the point. FUCK! »

—You really are ticklish here, uh? I can say you want to laugh. Why don’t you? C´mon, give me a smile!

—I’m going to give you a kick, how does that sounds?! — Shadow managed to squeeze out a threat that was met only with more laughs.

«And this, you mother fucker, is why we can’t want nice things. There is an actual risk of them becoming true, and then we will fucking panic because we don’t know that to do. Did you want kisses? There are your cursed kisses, you whiny! And you can’t kiss back nor pet or…or… Fuck this shit. »

Shadows dignity funeral was going to be in three days. There wasn’t much to bury anymore, but still, it was a nice touch to have. It had lasted as long as it had been able to… Poor thing. It gave its best.

—But Shadoooooow. — Silver whined teasingly. That little shit. He really is spending too much time around Sonic. —I really like your smile. I want to see you. Please? Smile for me, just a bit! Or else… Mh…I’m going to tickle you seriously this time! No more kisses play for you!

Yas.

Too much of a bad influence.

He huffed, looking down at his hands with a frown. — I was doing something, you know?

—I knoow, but, Shadow, Just a little smile won’t take long. Pretty please~?

Sighing in a defeated manner, the flushed ebony looked at his right, meeting gaze with Silver who sported, as well, a very clear and rather strong blush that could challenge Shadows own.  

—Hello there~ — Silver sung, almost in a chirping way that never failed in making Shadow woozy. Goddamn it. He really was awful at this shit. He gently, almost by reflex, lifted his head just a tad trying to make it not that noticeable, and glared. Because fuck you.  

Silver was expecting this, though, and couldn’t help but beaming wider. The thing was, that once you knew what to look for it sometimes was very easy to read Shadows corporal language! This one? It was Shadows non-spoken signal of “Fuck, I want to kiss you bad but hell if I will.” His ears shifted softly in Silvers direction, as if paying close attention. He would look straight at his eyes, never at his lips, like if he were assessing something. (Maybe he was, though.) The tension on his shoulders, that seemed to relax then tense up once again, the tiny quiver on his bottom lip, how he would delicately bite them, and lift his chin, as if saying “Look at them!”

It was so subtle, so quick and small you actually missed it most of the time, or hell, just took it as him being bratty or acting in defiance. But Silver was paying close attention. And so, he cupped Shadows cheek, rubbing with his thumb his cheekbone in a loving manner and tilting his head upwards a bit more before diving in for a kiss that Shadow gladly gave.

pizza delivery ! | 09 JUNE 17

{ status: ongoing } pairing: jongin x rosé bg: as an excuse to see him, she challenges him to bring her over a pizza and other things and promises a reward if he can bring everything within a certain amount of time.

pcy: [ kkt -> smol pup ] im hungry. [ kkt -> smol pup ] and lazy- [ kkt -> smol pup ] bring me a pizza and some strawberry milk and i'll reward ya with something nicee- it'll be worth it, i promise :')

kji: [ kkt → rosy punk ] hi hungry, i'm jongin. and now I'm laughing like an idiot tf this is such a you joke. [ kkt → rosy punk ] what will i get out of this though? half of that pizza? because I might just be down with this. [ kkt → rosy punk ] i'm at practice at the mo so listen, keep your door open so I don't stand there for hours if I can't reach you. don't ask why I so easily agreed. it's the pizza effect. [ kkt → rosy punk ] I'll get pizza. but I'll think about that strawberry milk pfft.

pcy: /she couldn't help but roll her eyes and even frowned out loud in mock annoyance; [ kkt -> smol pup ] it is such a me joke- I can't believe I'm finally rubbing off on you. I'm crying tears of joy [ kkt -> smol pup ] oi- no strawberry milk, no deal. And like I said it'll be worth it. Just bring yourself and the goodies and you'll know soon enough. [ kkt -> smol pup ] also, if the door is locked, you know where I hid the key- it's in that potted plant you called ugly once.

kji: /He cracks up because knowing her he could already see the faces she'd be making at his messages; [ kkt → rosy punk ] don't get ahead of yourself there love, I just wanted to try it out and see why these jokes are so funny but I'm cringing so hard kahdkaa [ kkt → rosy punk ] I'm so suspicious.. I better get that reward, you can't fool me on this one cause I'll be ready to fight you. Strawberry milk it is then! [ kkt → rosy punk ] that ugly thing is still there? dear god   /he took a breather, while the others were practicing he decided it was enough for him, since he did get there earlier before anyone else, and once he says so long to a few who hung around, first thing he headed was to grab the drinks and popped into the pizza parlour for a takeaway;

pcy: [ kkt -> smol pup ] nope! too late! please add a tissue box to your list of things to bring home to mee. and make sure it's 2-ply. 1-ply is too rough on my skin   /rosé smiled like an idiot into the palm of her hand, quietly typing up the next message and mindlessly responded 'okay!' to her members telling her they'd be out for a couple of hours; [ kkt -> smol pup ] time is tickin' boy- gift expires in thirty min, but for you- since twenty- [ kkt -> smol pup ] imm joking. I'm not that mean. Thirty-one. [ kkt -> smol pup ]  see you soon! /satisfied, she hopped off of her seat and ran up the stairs and scurried on into the bathroom. she'd only been home for all but twenty minutes and had yet to rid herself of this post-practice stench. eager to get herself squeaky clean before he arrived, she quickly striped and hopped into the shower to freshen up;

kji: [ kkt → rosy punk ] rose please, I'm almost regretting I said that joke, just use toilet paper it's just as good if not softer :') /He laughed to himself as he was standing waiting around for the pizza, without realising how loud he was which got a few looks from the workers who noticed. After clearing his throat he pursed his lips making the most serious expression he could, texting her back; [ kkt → rosy punk ] WAIT HOLD UP PUNK it'll take about 10 more minutes just for this pizza to be ready! I'll eat it myself if I get no reward. Plus I'm taller so you won't reach it unless I hand it to you /once the time was and the pizza arrived in a box which he already paid for, he grabbed it and checked his clock, such a dumb thing but he actually wanted to challenge himself if he could make it before the thirty one minutes were up, rolling his eyes at himself that he even went with her game. He took quick long steps which brought him closer towards her building, and if he wasn't wrong, he might've just been about five minutes too late and lost the battle after arriving at the door of her dorm. he did knock about three times before becoming impatient and deciding to check under the pot and take the key out and open up, poking his head in; Pretty hot pizza delivery here. And I'm not talking bout the pizza!

pcy: /rosé had just stepped out of the shower when she heard the sound of a door slam, followed by a voice she knew all to well. And almost automatically an eye-roll followed. She quickly wrapped a towel around her body and scampered over to the closed door, opened it just a crap and yelled out; tooting your own horn? How cute- S I K E- /she could feel a sneeze coming and when it didnt, she quickly added a 'I'll be out in a sec!' And warned him not to touch the damn thing unless he wanted to die; [ kkt -> smol pup ] make yourself at home- not that I need to tell you that, you've only been here about a bajillion times 🙄🙄

kji: Excuse you, who else can say that their delivery guy was no other than Kai? You've no idea what luck you have, you punk. Even the Kardashians aren't that lucky /he calls out teasingly seeing that she wasn't around and already without needing to be told, headed straight for the couch to place all the things out, her strawberry milk and a pepsi bottle for him, so tempted to actually take a piece of pizza just to get at her, but he was too tired for a painful death today; [ kkt → rosy punk ] already did. took a small bite of the pizza too cause you're taking such a long time. Eye roll eye roll eye roll. 🙄

pcy: /rosé silently tip-toed into the living room area, sporting an oversized captain America tee and athletic shorts, hair pulled up into a messy bun. He was clearly preoccupied with something, she wasn't sure what since he had his back turned to her. Seizing this opportunity she silently crept up behind him, bent down and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before plopping down beside him as if nothing had happened;  So you're saying if I called up a Kardashian now and told them you blessed me with your presence, they'd grovel at my feet and ask me to trade places with them? /she asked, eyes fixated on the full sized pizza he'd brought over; honestly, I didn't think you'd actually do it. I was expecting a more of a- /she sat up a little taller and cleared her throat, then in an octave lower said some words along the lines of 'you got two hands and two feet, get it yourself!'

kji: /he was too busy reading something about pups online that popped up into his notifications, if anything could distract him this easily it was not so surprisingly puppies. and the last thing that he could've ever expected was a peck from this girl, which actually made him sit up straight with a frozen expression before pointing to his cheek with confusion, then to her lips, back and forth as if waiting for her to answer on it; ..Who are you and what have you done with Rose? I've heard quite a few cases of alien abductions and replacements but didn't think it was actually possible. But yes, Kim Kardashian would break her back coming all the way over just to trade with you, but you wouldn't actually sell me off since you'd miss me, I know. /he pretends to wipe away a fake tear following with his words, before finally leaning forward to open the box that has been laying so openly waiting for them to dig in, a gigantic pizza that they'd have no problem finishing. But then came a loud snort hearing her impersonate him; I didn't know your voice could go that deep. Listen, you caught me at a hungry hour, it's my excuse to eat something greasy as well, next time your two hands and feet will be delivering burgers for me.

pcy:

/she mentally noted how cutely he had reacted  to the small display of affection, but decided not to address it, instead she reached for a slice of pizza, taking a small bite out of it, and gave a small nod of approval; Okay, okay- i'll let you off easy this time, but only because my heart is warm and happy now- thanks to the pizza- /not/ you. /she made a point to stress that last bit, before nodding her head in his direction; As for the Kim Kardashian thing- I'll take my chances if it meant seeing if she'd show up or not. You're not /that/ special~ /'because you don't have to be to catch my eye,' she wanted to add, but kept that to herself; I'll keep that request in mind. Who knows? I may even throw in something extra like I don't know a Capri Sun or something if I'm feeling generous-

kji: /he didn't get the answer he wanted to his confusion and was alms convinced that abductions do exist, but then why did he have to fight against the incoming smile. He grabbed a slice of pizza himself too, just so he'd have something to distract himself with, as well as being hungry; This is the thanks I get for taking my hard working time and effort, all that walking I had to do after practice..Just to deliver this box into your hands. The things I do for you sometimes shock even me, and don't forget about you milk too, punk. /he waves a hand in a playful dismissal portraying his dramatic nature, talking with his mouthful; You'd rather risk me getting taken to the States by a crazy rich family just to see Kim K? Actually, I've always wanted to see her performing that whole glass on the ass live, y'know, from her photo shoot. Such talent. /he said with a fake enthusiasm which was cracking him up as he relaxes back against the couch, making himself comfortable; Get the orange Capri Sun though, and maybe throw in a donut from McDonalds? I didn't think their donuts would have a taste but that chocolate inside made it worthy.

pcy: /she unknowingly wrinkled her face cutely out of habit, something she did when she surrounded herself in thought; i wish you had kept that to yourself. thanks for the mental image. you're a real pal. /she thanked him, voice dripping in sarcasm, hell she didn't even try to hide it this time; was my 'thank you' kiss not enough? do you need another? /it was amazing just how quick at every opportunity that came to teas him; it's how australian's say 'thank you'- /she repeated, tapping her right cheek. was it actually? probably not, but hey- what would he know right? r i g h t?; as for the donuts- i don't understand why you would waste your money buying the donut if you don't have a care for it... just buy the ingredients to make the filling and call it good. problem solved.

kji: /he snorts seeing her reaction towards that kim k image and honestly he wasn't far off either, maybe it was because the kardashians weren't his type? he had a very specific type, and avoided anyone that didn't reach his humour slash teasing level. He tilts his head in a way a puppy would, pausing with his chewing just to give her a look of disbelief, although he had no clue how Australians greeted or thanked others, before swallowing the piece and proceeding to speak; That so? How come I've never gotten this type of thank you before then? Rose please. If you want to kiss me again I'm not stopping you. /he joked while his attention went back to the box to take a hold of another piece; Okay but listen, would you eat a donut made by me? All them hours of waiting too.. It's actually pretty good, you'd think it would be terrible because it's coming from mcdonalds, even though hey, chicken nuggets are a good thing and so are most of the things on the menu.

pcy: Jongin.. jongin jongin.. /she repeated, breathing out a deep sigh as if she were a mother scolding a child for doing something wrong; -you can't just go around thanking people with a kiss all willy-nilly, especially around people who aren't familiar with the uh- what do you call it? Cultural norm? I don't think that's the word for it but this is me trying to sound intelligent. /she reached for one of those strawberry milk bottles he'd bought for her while she spoke and shook it up;  if they were from you, I wouldn't mind waiting- heck, we can even make it together. It'll speed up things a bit. Honestly- everything you said after chicken nuggets went over my head.

kji: /he only gives her a glance and a quirk of a brow when his name was heard, almost choking on the slice of pizza he bit into; willy nilly- so, Rose, Rozay, you're telling me you've been toning it down to merge into the korean culture instead, but then all of a sudden your Australian nature comes out? It's either the pizza doing some magic tricks on you or there's a hidden meaning here. /he waves a finger in front of her nose as if he was about to tap it, but refrained, an amused look on his features telling that she needed more proof before he could believe that; You want to make donuts together? Something I never thought I'd be able to hear from you- I've kinda wanted to try baking out for some time actually, maybe we can. I knew it, your expression said it all.

pcy: /she simply nodded, continuing to sip at her strawberry milk as he slowly processed the weight of her words. the mere mention of a 'hidden meaning' piqued her interest, dark brown eyes twinkling underneath the dim lighting in the room as she looked at him. rosé stopped sipping for a moment, lips curling into a playful little grin, speaking slowly with much purpose; do you.. /want/ it to have a hidden meaning..? /a great part of her wanted to know, but the other half screamed for her to stop this foolishness now. she went back to her sipping again and said nothing more for a long moment before addressing the donut thing; i could never turn my back away from donuts, mark my words.  but i will tell you- i have plans to wear some sort of protection when i'm around you- like i don't know safety goggles and a firefighter suit or something. i'll feel safer that way-

kji: /he knew how easily he could just say no and add in something dumb afterwards, but words didnt come out in the right moment. and he wasn't going to choke on another piece, oh no, so he settled the half eaten slice to the side from the rest and reached for his Pepsi, fidgeting around with the cap since her words made him think on it. did he? And /what/ other meaning did he want it to have? most importantly, why was he contemplating about it?! he decides to shuffle that thought away and do a little test by leaning in a little closer to the girl to mess with her, inching his face until their noses almost bumped, he even took a few long seconds before whispering; ....What other meaning would I want it to have? Please. /he couldn't deny the curious feelings but at the same time he didn't think much of her words, knowing how she liked to kid around with him. he pulls back and finally takes the satisfying gulp of his drink; This is all about donuts isn't it? Nothing to do with our quality time, i question our friendship these days Rosé. And look at that, now there's trust issues- If anything I should be wearing that firefighter suit. And a bullet proof jacket all over my body just in case.

pcy: /my my, wasn't his reaction just the cutest. she even caught herself smiling to herself while she silently observed the many emotions that flittered across his face. rosé opened her mouth to speak, but his sudden movement startled her, eyes widening briefly as she soon found him invading her personal bubble. as if automatically, she tilted her head ever so-slightly, eyes flickering from his captivated eyes to his perfect set of lips. it was almost strange how easily he had her entranced. hell she wasn't even sure she had registered anything he had said, distracted by how up close and personal he was and in a blink of an eye he was gone just like that- or well- back to nonchalantly sipping at his drink again. rosé tongued the inside of her cheek, eyes wandering off to the side, muttering something about him being such a tease under her breath; Lemme ask you this- if you had to choose between winning prize money of i don't know- a year supply of donuts in a donut eating contest over a friend whose soul purpose of existing is to make your life a living hell, which would you choose? /she raised a brow in curiosity, reaching for her drink again, but kept her eye on him; -quit being so dramatic geez.

kji: /he wanted to read her expression and have at least a slight hint of what could've been going through her head there in that moment, yet he was so focused on her own features being that close, congrats on being a dare devil kim jongin, he mentally sighs at himself but there was that subtle vibe he got from her that satisfied his curiosity, not completely, but enough for him to live with for now. typical of rose to avoid every possibility of answering his questions though, he would soon lose all those 9 cat lives thanks to her. A subtle smirk curls up when he catches her mumbling something; You might need to speak a bit louder, I couldn't catch that. ...You see, why do I have a feeling like I'm being targeted? I'd choose donuts but I have a reason for that, I didn't know you had any spawn of satan friends. If they're cute hook me up. /he said with a breathy laugh and melts into the comfort of the couch, his stomach was happy so now he was happy with it; It's not like I don't trust you.. Its just I wouldn't trust you with kitchen utensils.

pcy: EXCUSE YOU- I HAPPEN TO BE FANTASTIC IN THE KITCHEN THANKS! /she was shaking her slice of pizza at him now, fire burning bright in her eyes; Have you ever /seen/ me cook? Try any of my cooking? I think not!! /she let another 'harumph' escape before turning her nose up high in the air, unable to look at him anymore, for the theatrics of course; we can't have us if there isn't trust, babe. /rosé threw him a knowing look before tending to her pizza, eyes widening in absolute horror as she found all of her toppings lying both in her lap and on her floor. she had been so caught up in yelling at him she failed to notice all that unnecessary movement had caused this. poor pizza;  NOOOOOOOOO. IT WAS SO YOUNGGGGG. I'M- /rosé wailed, pouting cutely at the half eaten slice that had nothing but sauce and melted cheese sliding off of it;

kji: /his eyes followed the movement of the poor mistreated slice of pizza in her hand, lips parted wondering if he should speak up about it or let her rant first and then cool off? he decides with the latter, pursing his plump lips not to give away any hints of how highly amused she had him with that long speech; You're really not thinking this through rose-- /he chokes up trying not to laugh as he refers to the slice but still doesn't say anything about it since it was too late anyway; I've literally never even seen you in the kitchen unless it was to go and grab some snacks. So how can I trust your word for it? For all I know you Gordon Ramsey would take you on to his kitchen nightmares food disaster show /he finally loses it at her mourning for that piece of food and with a tsk shakes his head; I can't believe you'd do something like that to him, he didn't deserve it. /he lightly grabs her wrist and guides it up before dipping his head to take a bite of the sliding off cheese, in his opinion 'saving' it before it could fall;

pcy: /this would explain why he looked as though he could explode into fits of laughter from before. all of her fighting words, gone to waste thanks to this poor. freaking. pizza.  she was about to yell at him again for not even telling her her pizza was suffering such an ill fate in the heat of passion, but was forced to look up at him when he'd taken ahold of her arm; what are you do- /her eyes widen for the second time that day in absolute horror as she watched him take bites out of /her/ pizza. Enraged, she's found raising her voice at him despite making no effort to stop him from enjoying that slice; WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?! THAT'S MINE? M-I-N-E, MINE. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN?!

kji: /still highly amused by her reactions, this was such a typical rose thing to do, just make a mess while being so distracted with her long rants that he wouldn't have even had the chance to comment on it. he definitely knew what was coming no doubts the second he took a bite of that pizza, and it truly tasted a lot better than his own for whatever reason, which was probably obvious by the smug satisfied expression he had on him; Listen, you pretty much murdered that thing, I just helped to take it out of its misery before it could flop onto your lap and ruin your clothes. You should thank me. /he said so casually as he took a sip of his drink; Pizza murderer. I cant believe you sometimes.

pcy: /in all honestly, she couldn't pay attention to a single thing he was saying, semi-distracted by some pizza sauce near the corner of his mouth which she assumed was from when he practically "attacked" her slice of pizza; jongin, you- /she started to say, but figured it'd just be easier- not to mention - faster, if she just helped him herself. besides, with all the yapping he was doing, there wasn't much of an opportunity to squeeze a few words in there without him having something smart to say back. so with a sigh, she scooted closer to him and leaned forward, muttering a quick 'don't move' and swiped the corner of his mouth with the pad of her thumb; you got a little something.. here.. /she murmured softly, instinctively bringing her thumb close to her lips then proceeded to lick it clean, eye contact made all the while;

kji: /he was honestly confused as to why she suddenly went so quiet but paid no attention thinking this was probably just a way of her conveying just how mad she was at him for taking that last bite. But the she moved in closer making him choke up, cutting off his own little speech as he freezes upon her request just to feel a swipe so close to his lip. usually at this point one would have a million thoughts running through their head but not jongin, he was too busy staring with his parted lips watching her tongue clean off the slight smudge of red on her thumb, for some reason so captivated by her action not even sure why. To snap himself out of it, he uses his sleeve to wipe that very corner of his lip and clears his throat, bringing a fist to gently tap her head with; Dork you could've just gave me a napkin.. /he mumbled away, not breaking any eye contact just yet; Is this another one of your Australian culture habits?

pcy: /okay, it wasn't just her right? she wasn't what he wasn't sure when exactly she had started to notice this, but there was something different in the nature of their friendship. small little things one would normally overlook in a platonic friendship stuck out to her more. she even noticed her heart racing more often and- god forbid, the dark corners her mind wanders whenever he said or did anything remotely suggestive. and in that moment she thought back to when she had awoken in his bed, wearing nothing but his shirt. not knowing whether they did anything killed her and why he was so insistent in not telling her bothered her even more. the sudden thump to her forehead snapped her out of her thoughts, thank goodness; Ah-yah! What was that for?! /she whined, hands flying to cover her forehead in a protective manner; I mean- I could've but that requires excessive walking and quite frankly, I am a very lazy old fart.  Let me live boy! /rosé clicked her tongue in distaste. At his question, she hesitated momentarily, searching her mind for something logical to say but could come up with none so she blurted the first thing that came to mind; I don't know, /is/it..?

kji: /while every other time he'd be telling her not to come any closer to him just simply a habit that that grew from their friendly ongoing bickering, he wasn't able to do so now, in fact he even hated go admit the fact that he maybe just maybe enjoyed having her this close to him, since for whatever reason he felt a small spark, it was pleasant, one he didn't feel around with others. maybe that's why he thought of her as being a special punk in his life. Something he wouldn't ever admit out loud thanks to his stubborn nature, plus having her react to more of his teasing - he lived for this; Just felt like it. /he playfully waved it off with his hand, dropping it back to his side; I don't know how you haven't been labeled as a human sloth yet, you're lazier than sehun on a weekend morning. /he utters with a playful roll of his eyes, something that was forming into a habit thanks to her. her next confusing question didn't make sense, making him fold his arms over his chest as he quirked a brow at her; ..You're asking me? A born korean? /he moves in unexpedly even to himself, bumping his forehead against hers;

pcy: /she snorted in response to his words. he had a point there, but she wasn't about to admit it. Instead, she opened her mouth to speak, ready to tell him that was one of the funniest things she had heard all day but couldn't find her voice to do so. rosé slowly closed her mouth instead, dark brown eyes holding his gaze, her own swirling with much curiosity. for awhile she said absolutely nothing and simply enjoyed whatever moment this was they shared, however she was the first to break the silence, her voice sounding as sweet as honey without her really meaning to; ...and your answer..?

kji: /this was one of rare silences, one that he didn't want to break either, expecting her to slam him with another smart comeback of hers, but - she didn't. instead she captivated him and his attention with those big brown eyes, and in a way it made him feel so calm but at the same time not.. he didn't understand how it was possible but there wasn't another way to describe it. there was a certain tension in the air with this exchanging eye contact, he could say that he knew what it might mean but didn't want to dig deep right now. he cracked a small smile as her sweet tone of voice reached his ears, mumbling back with a soft lowered tone of his own; I doubt it's actually a cultural thing anywhere. more of what a parent would do to a kid, common between couples too I guess. Your turn to answer.

pcy: /she swore his smile was as bright as a thousand suns and like the millions of fan girls whose hearts he has unknowingly/knowingly touched - he had hers easy, which wasn't really fair. Darn him. Her eyes had at some point wandered down to his full set of lips while he spoke. It was hard /not/ to look- they were there, so inviting, and she didn't even notice she'd wet her lips some too. ROOOSEEE. STOPPPP. And as he finished speaking, she swallowed softly and lifted her eyes to meet his again, and blankly stared at him for a few seconds. She didn't have an answer, she really didn't; I-I don't know.. /she murmured lamely voice barely above a whisper.  For once in her life, she really didnt;

kji: /a strange sensation appeared in his chest, one that he couldve sworn started to spread warmth all around and having exactly nothing to blame it on was worrying. since it wasn't that warm in the living room, enough to cause this type of heat, nor was alcohol involved. think of puppies, and other fluffy things, he thought to himself as a way of a really not effective distraction. he didn't expect her not to have an answer either, which took him by surprise momentarily making him speechless too since there's wasn't anything he could hook on to have another comeback at her. shifting a little, he hesitantly lifted a hand to lightly brush his fingers over her cheek, there was no reason for it honestly he just had the urge to do it, a spur of the moment, before gently pinching it; So it's really not an Australian thing. Should've known. How about that 'thankful' kiss on the cheek? Is it really a thing there?

pcy: /the anxiety that bubbled in the pit of her stomach heightened as time passed. It was odd- she couldn't remember the last time she had felt this lost- this confused. This foreign feeling was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. And she couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same or if this was just all in her head. His cool touch made her shiver involuntarily, pulling her away from her thoughts for the moment to which she was thankful for.  He had his full attention now and she groaned internally at the questions he kept throwing at her.  She had all but three seconds to make a decision and stick with it before her fickle self changed it and on the count of three she slowly leaned forward, lips ghosting over his and whispered a simple 'yeah it was, but this isn't-' then let her eyes fall shut and closed what little distance remained and his lips tasted as sweet as she imagined them to be;

kji: /that tension didnt lessen, in all honesty it probably just got even bigger since none of the two made any moves or showed signs of leaning back to their original positions nor did he want to. But. everything froze the minute her breath tickled his lips, that was the moment that emotional confusion struck his chest because with an even bigger surprise, before he could process it her lips were on his, drawing him into a tender kiss, and the crazy part - it felt pleasant. that warmth spreading through his chest? Yeah, forget puppies and fluffy things, they came nowhere near as to giving him a full blast of unexplainable feelings, spreading that physical nervous sensation all the way down to his stomach, and on top of that, his mind already entered chaos. the hand on her cheek slowly slid over to cup her smaller face as he moved in even closer to reciprocate the lip lock, giving her warm cheek a gentle swipe of his thumb;

pcy: /All those things that had been running through her mind at a million per second were long forgotten and it was all thanks to this small, but meaningful little display of affection. The only thing that invaded her piece of mind at this moment was just how soft his lips felt against hers. For a moment, she thought she may have made a mistake and almost kicked herself for being so bold, but when he responded, her heart skipped a beat. With this newfound courage, she slowly began moving her lips in sync with his, a hand grabbing a hold of his t-shirt, gently pulling him closer to her;

kji: /all the bickering that they went through in the past, which surely wasn't going to stop nor change their behavior towards each other after this kiss, but he was so dumb for not realising that there really was a bigger meaning to it. he might've joked but never took in consideration that maybe just maybe she thought of him more. He didn't hesitate to bring him a little closer towards himself too, dropping the hand from her cheek to glide it onto her thinner waist line as his head tipped to the side to deepen the kiss. he couldn't process much but wasn't so willingly to pull back if only the lack of oxygen didn't force him to slowly break their lip lock, breathing out a soft sigh against her lips, a subtle smile forming; And how long were you keeping this hidden from me?

pcy: /it was still hard to wrap her mind around the fact that she was lip-locking with none other than kim jongin himself, a guy most women would kill to even breathe the same air as him. rosé reluctantly pulled away, sighing just as soft as he, finding her own lips curling into a smile of her own as her eyelids fluttered open to meet his; I'd say I did fairly well up until a few seconds ago. /she pouted, feigning sadness. there was no denying that had made her extremely happy, yet at the same time the nature of this all confused the crap or of her and she wasn't sure what to make of these feelings and the urge to kiss him again- ack. fight it chae;

kji: /maybe for the first time he'll end up getting speechless soon enough too as everything was slowly sinking in starting from the look in her eyes and the change in the atmosphere. The taste of her lips still lingered on his, making him just that much more reluctant to lean back away from her. Although he still couldn't believe that this punk was the one to make a move first, but knowing him, he'd keep himself in denial for far longer if the events today didn't turn out the way they did; You could've fooled me even longer if you didnt. Guessing all my teasing finally got to you huh, your way of shutting me up? /his grin must've been glowing as it spread from ear to ear while his gaze scanned her features slowly, not knowing how to exactly deal with all the internal conflict between 'what in the world' and 'am I actually liking this?' not to mention more than he could admit, then brings a hand close to her cheek to brush a few strands of her hair behind her ear. What came next out of his mouth he didn't expect it himself either, mumbling something along the lines of 'you're welcome to try this out again';

pcy: /she could've, she really could've. Her members often told her it was her impulsiveness that got her into trouble.. and look where it brought her today. Wait-hold up- did he just give her permission to do all of /that/ again? Who was he and what did he do with kim jongin? Not that she was complaining or anything but still-; I'm sorry- what was that..? I don't think I heard you~ /no matter how hard she tried, she was to hide the amusement in her voice or that stupid smirk that slowly spread across her face; speak a little louder for me, will ya? I'm growing olllldddd. /leave it to rose to ruin such a rare and special moment. but deep down inside she wanted to experience it all again just so she could know that what this was she was feeling wasn't just a dream;

kji: /he didn't expect any less from her, or at least he shouldve seen it coming which made him snap out of the little daze she placed him in the first place. and boy did he want to shut her up himself now too, but that would go against their back and forth teasing habit, he'll break it some other time. So he scoffed under his breath and gently pressed two knocks against the side of her head, clicking his tongue to the roof of his mouth; Should we book you a hearing test? It's just too bad that I don't like repeating things twice. You'll have to work it for a second kiss now. /he said as he completely went against his own words after dipping his head to press a small kiss to the corner of her mouth. and he swore he felt a flutter somewhere within him too, he didn't know what overcame him in the moment, he just wanted to do it;

pcy: /my goodness wasn't this just hilarious. well maybe not that funny, but she'd be lying if she said watching the many emotions that flickered across his face before returning to his normal argumentative self wasn't entertaining at all. rose sat up a little taller, leaning against the back of the couch for some support when he pulled away, that smirk of hers never once faltering as she watched him with much interest; I mean if you have time to accompany to said appointment, that'd be awesome. You know- just in case they speak too quickly and I'm unable to catch everything. /she gave a small nonchalant shrug at that, snickering quietly all the while. Ah man. Teasing jongin had honestly become a hobby of hers. Perhaps she should add it to her resume; Who said I wanted another kiss from you though? /she managed to squeeze in before he moved toward her and surprisingly, she found herself turning her face just a smidge, and managed to steal a full kiss from him; -I don't accept half-assed kisses Jo-lame. It's all or nothing. /she whispered against his lips, then very carefully wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close, stealing a third kiss from him of the night;

kji: /he swore she really just wasn't fair with him sometimes, how she managed to frustrate him to the point of boiling internally yet draw him in, bringing in such unexplainable adoration was beyond him. this girl was dangerous for his mind and heart, he realised, and everything else that involved him, pure troublemaker, but here he was enjoying every second of it like an idiot. He quirked a brow and kept on observing her smirk, narrowing his eyes at that, before hitting her back with a crooked grin of his; I might just tag along, I'll do all the explaining too, in case you forget a few details here and there of how you barely ever hear me. /he laughed, she really knew how to press those buttons and push them further with her smart talk, he could almost admit to her being a great smartass rival, almost; Playing games with me huh, I think that first kiss already said it all. /the brush of their lips surprised him, her timing was perfect and he couldn't even complain, darn her messing up his mind completely right now. But she took charge once again and this time he didn't freeze in the moment with confusion, he welcomed that kiss with open arms as he slid them slowly around her waist being just as careful, head tilting to perfect the angle and align their tiers against each other. Long seconds weren't enough and he didn't feel like pulling back, curiously exploring these feelings that circled around the longer the kiss went on as he held her in a tighter embrace, still in disbelief;

pcy: /was it crazy to say that she was perfectly okay with dying this very instant?  this unexplainable surge of excitement and giddiness that coursed through her veins was proof that this was indeed very much real- that he was real.  it surprised her how well he was responding to her advances, and she half-wondered if whatever this was, was just an 'in the moment' kinda thing or if he lowkey had a thing for her too and all that bickering and teasing was simply a mask he hid behind. rosé tightened her arms around his neck in response and smiled into the kiss, tongue playfully swiping his lower lip, silently asking for entrance. she figured she'd deal with these mess she called her feelings later;

kji: /jongin had no hesitations as the flow of their kiss continued, it was different, not one that was simply rushed because of a heated feeling, it held a completely different vibe or so it seemed to him. Maybe that was just him hoping, but screw thoughts right now. he smiled a little as he felt her tongue prodding for entrance and granted her the pass, parting his lips to welcome hers with his wet musle with a slow brush of it against to get a better taste of her. he had no idea how this friendly pizza delivery all of a sudden turned into something so out of this world, but who was he to complain when it felt this head spinningly nice. in need of oxygen, he breathed in to fill his lungs, letting his eyes slowly open, slight blurry vision coming into focus to gaze over her features with his thumb gently tracing the outline of her slightly swollen kissed lips, admiring their shape while sending her a smile of his; so listen /he starts off in a whisper, looking into her eyes now; since this wasn't a 'thank you for the pizza' kiss, what kind of kiss was it then?

pcy: /her tongue danced along with his and together explored each and every inch of his wet cavern, fingers pulling the strands of his hair lightly as the kiss deepened. gosh- she couldn't even recall the last time she had shared a kiss with someone that was as nice and meaningful as this one. It was slow and somewhat sensual- just how she liked it. She had fallen victim to Jongin's charms at some point and oddly, she was okay with that. 'Breathe chae, breathes!!' The little voice in her head screeched, and it was at that moment she reluctantly pulled away. Rose returned his smile with one of her own, holding his gaze and listened closely to the sound of his melodic voice. 'Gosh dang it.. not this again.' She didnt answer him right away. Her heartbeat was ringing loud and clear in her ears and she half wondered if he could hear it too, given how close he was. After awhile of not doing or saying anything at all, she finally brought a hand up and lightly brushed his rose colored lower lip. It's shine distracted her and she didn't want him to have to go through the trouble of explaining why his lips were so red later; what do you /want/ it to mean..? /she heard herself ask him, voice barely above a whisper;

kji: /there was no change in his position, and all the deep inhaling earlier to fill his lungs on the lacking oxygen  did no good since being this close to her, seeing a girl that he'd been having an on and off teasing battle to smile this genuinely at him, and at the same time so aware of this proximity slightly knocked some air out of his chest. Completely oblivious to her heartbeat as his own pretty much pounded as if it was right at his ears, blocking his hearing. That kiss still lingered on his lips and god did he swear that he wouldn't have minded if it lasted a little longer, but this is where all the confusion rolls in. after the gentle swipe of her fingers over his lips, that same question that he hoped wouldn't get hit right back at him - just did. his thoughts scattered when he tried to search for an answer, on one hand, its like everything was making sense and he could almost grasp the meaning of his feelings, but on the other there was that slight fear that poked at him, making him question whether this was just her play. but he knew her well enough to know that she wouldn't have done it without a reason, right? 'Oh heck with it' he whined at himself as he just goes for it with his answer, a soft whisper of his own; something that's maybe just a little bit more than just an 'in the moment' thing. I don't go kissing back just about anyone who comes to me, Rose /there was no usual playful expression reflecting anywhere on his features, his voice still soft but even he surprised himself at how firm and honest his tone came out. But he wanted to let her know that he wasn't just this guy who went along with things just for no reason;

pcy: /rosé mastered the art of the poker face long before she arrived in Korea. And an unreadable expression was what he was met with as he relayed this information to her. Outwardly, she conveyed no change in emotion, but on the inside she was screaming 'no freaking way.;' hey jongin- can you do me a favor and like slap me right here? /she turns her cheek toward him and pointed to it; I just need to know if I'm dreaming- you know, by now i thought my alarm would've woken me up but it hasn't happened yet so. /she rambled needlessly like this when she was anxious and it was a bad habit of hers to avoid loaded questions like the answer he was searching for. Though she'd be lying if she said his words didn't make her feel some type of way. In fact, she wasn't the type to go around smooching people left and right;

kji: /he tried, he really did, full of attempts to read her expression in hopes of figuring out what she could've been thinking but she was doing a much better job at keeping herself composed than he was. seeing her turn her cheek, he quirked a brow and pinched the soft skin, lightly, tugging on it in a playful manner just having his way with it. that was damn cute, when in the hell did she get this cute with him? he laughed nonetheless, tilting his head slightly; You lil dumbo. Does that feel real? I can pinch harder but I don't really want to leave a bruise. But y'know, it's unfair leaving me hanging with curiosity and wonder after kissing me like that. /he said it so casually, surprised his voice didn't crack, maybe he was a lot better at keeping himself composed too than he thought? either way, it was either now or a night if confusion of keep him up, and who knows when the subject could be brought up again;

pcy: /rosé let a childish whine escape her lips, hand holding the area he'd last pinch protectively, a pout on her lips, sarcastic as always; Noooo. I couldn't feel a thing at all. /rose said nothing when he brought up that kiss again and simply stared at him, but decided that he was right. Had it been her, she would've wanted an answer too. Her eyes wander off to the side, finding the plant that sat on the window sill particularly interesting at the moment. Words didn't come easy for her at this moment and he could probably tell given how softly she was speaking and the way her hands were fidgeting with the ends of her t-shirt; more than friends, less than lovers? I honestly don't know.. I don't go around kissing random people and I sure as hell don't make stupid excuses like- 'oh it's an Australian thing' around just /anyone/ so..

kji: /he didn't rush her either because honestly, he's just as lost. everything did feel sudden, yet at the same time it wasn't a bad timing? they knew each other for so long, shared their bad habits in front of each other without much shame just like any close friend would. it was the type of connection that he didn't feel with everyone, even with some of his members, he respected and loved them of course, but he figured for himself that it's not possible to be close to everyone. he didn't complain either. in that moment he didn't realise that he dozed off himself staring at practically nothing past her shoulder, until the soft spoken voice pulled him back into reality, sending a physical sensation down to his stomach when she finally replied. it set a smile on his face, because he didn't want to rush and he could tell that she'd been on the same page with him; I wouldnt have assumed that you did either. I'll take this as a way of saying that I might just have caught your eye more than anyone else did. it's a surprisingly good kind of feel what the heck, I won't lie. /he confessed, cracking a small teasing grin to keep the atmosphere light despite the heaviness of the topic, lifting his gaze towards her with a  hand reaching to place atop her head while he leaned back into the couch; punk, I almost believed your excuse earlier though, I don't know much about Australian culture as you probably guessed.

pcy: Looks like you better brush up on some. Never know when I might trick you again~ /he'd taken her answer a lot better than she had anticipated and quite frankly, that lifted a ton of weight off of her shoulders. rose even breathed an inaudible sigh of relief, letting herself fall backwards until her back rested against the sofa, eyelids falling shut momentarily. she wasn't exactly sure what this did to their uh "friendship," but she was smart enough to know they probably won't be able to go back to the stage in their relationship where they had more personal space. That barrier broke when she decided to makeout with his face like what the hell were you thinking chae?! Rosé had subconsciously bit her bottom lip as all these thoughts ran through her head. 'But I didn't hate it..' Cue her randomly kicking her feet and flailing her arms about. A yelp sounds and she's found hugging her knees to her chest, small whines escaping her lips. With all that random movement, it was no surprise she'd end up kicking the coffee table at some point. Good going rose. Very smooth;

kji: I'm always on my full awareness around you, so you can't fool me that easily punk. But y'never know when I'd get right back at ya. /he snorted quietly after the reply, things surely didn't change in the way they spoke, he wouldn't change it for the world either, a rose that didn't threaten and told him she hated his whole being just wouldn't feel right. he took that small silence to let it in all sink in, his mind wandering a few places that he might've been blocking off for a while, but truthfully he couldn't tell because all these sensations felt so new to him, when was the last time he even kissed someone prior to this? just on queue when jongin was going to scold himself for falling victim to such deep thoughts right next to her, his body slightly jerks, startled by that sudden movement she pulled and the whines. For a second he only stared wondering if he should call the helpline, before a small crack of an amused smile showed up as he threw his hands up above his shoulder level; Punk if you wanted to fight you shouldve given a warning first, otherwise that's just rude. /he teased, this time placing a hand on her arm to give her a light shake; What's on your mind there? Another possession-?

pcy: /more disgruntled noises came from her. she didn't budge, didn't move an inch, the pain shooting up and down her leg made it difficult for her to speak. Why oh why did she have to be so freaking expressive?; Hush you. I wasn't even trying to fight? What idiot would try to initiate a fight after kissing the life out of them- /she hissed quietly, lifting her head high enough, revealing a nasty little glare; and what do you mean by possession? You lost me.

kji: /he stared at her with disbelief, the fact that she actually seemed to to have hurt herself, this girl really was something special, never seen before. he carefully helped to stretch her leg out across the couch, having no other choice but to let her rest it over his lap since he was sitting right next to her; Anything is possible with you, one minute you might want to kiss me, the next you'll be swinging your fists. Can't predict your next move /he teased still curious as to this little outburst and what made her have it, completely unphased by her glare and continues next in his subtle teasing tone; as in possessed by a ghost, I've been hearing a ton about this sort of thing online. First you're calm then suddenly you can't control your moves.

pcy: Tell me. Does this ghost make me put you in some sort of choke hold next? /she inquired, batting her eyelashes at him as he helped her stretch out her leg, brows knitting together in slight discomfort; A-ah. ow. Careful.. /she heard herself whisper, biting her bottom lip, thinking it would somehow counteract the pain in her leg. But wait a second, was he always this gentle? It was strange how she had began to notice small things she had never picked up before in the time they'd come to know each other;

kji: Hah no that's just you now, wow that ghost seemed to have left super fast, guess it couldn't handle your sassy soul. Also good luck reaching me when you can't even move properly, punk, you're clumsier than I thought. /he sighed at her with a shake of his head in mock disappointment, but really, that kiss they shared was still lingering in his mind tugging another warm smile on his lips, the hell was happening to him? his gaze softened up and concern sparked in his eyes; Should we place some ice on it? /he was ready to slide out and dash to the kitchen and grab some if she needed, in the meantime carefully examining the pained spot;

pcy: /I/ might not be able to reach you, but that doesn't mean this /pillow/ can't- /she retorted, moving the pillow in her hands in a weird dancing motion in front of her before lightly tossing it at his face. The atmosphere around them was most definitely different than it was when he first arrived in her home.. and she had to admit it she /kinda/ liked it. The fact that she'd caught her eyes slowly wandering over to his full set of lips more times than she could count on her hands within the last couple minutes was slightly embarrassing and she hoped he was oblivious to it all. Gosh- what was wrong with her? This is like highschool girl stuff. She's twenty for crying out loud!; Nah it's okay. I don't think I sprained it or anything it's just numb. I'm sure it'll go away if we give it some time. /as her eyes wandered over to the digital clock siting on the bookshelf next to the tv, all of the lights flickered off, pitch black darkness swallowing them both whole. Rosé tensed up almost immediately, arms slowly moving to hug her slightly trembling body as a cruel member from her past slowly played itself in her head; s-stop it.. /she heard herself whisper into the darkness, brows knitting together in worry;

kji: /in a natural reaction his eyes fluttered closed before the pillow could smack him in the face since he didn't have any more room to avoid it, whining into it and mumbling something about being careful since she can't run away now. empty threats as per usual but he stll found amusement in them. he could see her from the corner of his eyes occasionally looking at him, having to purse his lips into a thin line sometimes just to prevent himself from showing a smile. he really never thought there'd be a day that she'd start seeing him in a whole different way, it being so new got his heart racing a little faster than its usual beat.  but just as he was about to insist on actually bringing the ice, it was like his vision got cut; Man are you actually kidding me what kind of luck- /darn power and it's fantastic timing, he cursed in his head only to turn his head in the direction of her voice, and something about her tone that felt so unsettling; Rose? Are you alright? /blindly reaching for her shoulder, he felt her shaking body  and didnt hesitate to gently tug her over into his side, an arm going around her shoulder carefully; Come here. Ugh where in the hell is my phone- /it wasn't in his pocket, so it must've been somewhere on the coffee table out of his reach;

pcy: /rosé felt herself falling and instead of catching herself like any normal person would, she simply shut her eyes hoping that once she opened them all of this darkness and the ugly thoughts that haunted her would go away with it. She landed on something hard, and the fact that she felt herself rose and fall with whatever it was she fell on made her arrive at the conclusion it was probably Jongin that cushioned her fall. her eyes slowly fluttered open and much to her dismay, light did not return. her fingers curled into the fabric of her shirt and she kept whispering apologies for invading his space like this and promised to make it up to him with some ice cream or something later if he could just promise not to leave her side until the electricity returned. not long after her request filled the aid, a loud clap of thunder sounded followed by a crackle of lightning, shaking the blinds right across from where they were sitting, earning a help from her; ..eek! /if there was one thing she hated more than being left in the dark all by herself it was thunderstorms. Nothing but I'll memories we're associated with them; -ah. Fuck. Why is this happening...?!

kji: /he could feel just how tense her body felt against his once he managed to keep her securely next to him, it almost didn't seem like this was the girl who played around by threatening to choke him whenever he said something dumb or silly as a comeback, which made him realise that he never knew just how terrified of the dark she was. he shouldve put two and two together after the last time she stayed over in his room, but he only assumed it was mainly due to her drunken state. he whispered back to her not to worry about it and that he's there with her for as long as she needed it. to make matters worse, due to the deafening thunder he could more or less tell the blackout was there for the long run tonight. his embrace tightened in hopes it'd be some sort of comfort, his palm rubbing her arm while peeking in the direction of the window before whispering; it's alright, Rose I'm right next to you, hold my hand if you need to.. I never heard anything about a storm today, so what in the world- /his face scrunched as the sound of rain echoed against the glass of the window; If I can actually find my phone, we can make our way around. Hey.. Have you got any candles in the dorm? Maybe we can light the room up a little this way..

pcy: Candles..? /rosé looked up at what she assumed was his face in a daze, mindlessly repeating what he had said in a somewhat monotonous voice. Another clap of thunder sounds and she's found burrowing into his chest, squealing all the while. In the back of her mind she whispered rushed apologies for hurting him and well- for keeping him here like this. A rose this vulnerable was not a cute one. She knew that and she hated that about herself; I-I'm sorry.. /she whispered a small apology, but no matter how many times that little voice in her head told her to let him go, her grip on his arm wouldn't loosen any; I-I think i might have some candles in my bathroom cabinet or somewhere in the kitchen cupboards

kji: /he nodded, though it wasn't like she could see him not his expression in this pitch black room, the only thing that sometimes let him see her silhouette through lightning the momentarily lit up the room for a short two seconds. he sincerely didn't mind staying, giving her arm a light squeeze with his palm to let her know that it was okay too, whispering just the same as he now pushes her closer into his chest; punk you don't need to apologise to me, besides- I don't really want to be swept away by all that rain outside so uhm.. we can't separate just yet. /blindly, his arm left the comfort of her shoulder as he brought his hand down to place her hand into his, keeping a tight grip on it as a sign that he wasn't going to let go, while leaning forward with some struggle to find his phone. it was a success, though the minimum percentage of the battery wasn't what he wanted to see. hopefully it'll be enough to help them find those candles before turning off; Right. First destination - bathroom. Then kitchen. ..Will you be okay walking? How's your foot?

pcy: /his shifting from his position on the couch made her panic a little and she found herself almost calling out to him, but was able to relax some once she found her hand in his and she gave him a small squeeze of her own in return to let him know she appreciated this small gesture; well.. if you're okay with staying then i won't stop you. /she heard herself whisper as she rose to her feet, helping him to his own as well.  was it bad that she was actually /glad/ it was storming out- not that she'd appear vulnerable in front of him, but so there's more of an excuse for him to spend the night without her having to ask. ahhh she was a bad girl... this was all bad. baad; Eh-? Oh- My foot is fine. It's not numb anymore if that's what you're asking. I can actually stand on it again for once. /How she had the strength to lead him over to her bathroom without wanting to scream bloody murder was beyond her. But who else would do it if not her, it wasn't like he had her placed memorized or did he?; oppa can you shine the light down here? /she called out to him, having already knelt down in front of the cabinet underneath the sink she had opened;

kji: /he froze a little and for the first time, was glad that she wasn't able to see his face in this blackout because if he wasn't wrong, this was an invite to stay over for the night, right? sober.. both of them.. after the kiss?! he didn't even realise he was holding his breath there, exhaling slowly as he squeezed her hand, in all honesty he didn't want to leave either; I can stay if that's okay with you, I can always take a cab home if y'know, the rest of the punks show up and the lights come back on /while in his head praying that the lights wouldn't, at least not till tomorrow morning at its earliest. he smiled to himself, glad that she was able to walk, and shone the light into the asked direction as he crouched down right next to her, peeking into the cabinet himself with his eyes squinting; any luck with candles there?

pcy: /rose had let go of his hand in order to shift some boxes around in there, making a mental note to clean this mess up and reorganize it another time. after sifting through a box of q-tips, random hair ties, extra toilet paper, a curling iron, and even some feminine products (Jesus fucking Christ-)- Rosé let out a deep sigh and turned to look at him, head shaking slowly from side-to-side; No luck here. I could've sworn we had some lying around.. I wonder where my favorite candle went- surely the others didn't take it from me did they? /and then the image of her burning a candle near her bedside table from the other night came to mind and she unknowingly let out a weird noise when she realized this; Actually- I think it's on my bedroom table! Let me go and get it-

kji: /from what jongin could sneak a peak at, apart from the curling iron, the exo' bathroom cabinet was just about the same. and sometimes when one of his members got too lazy the night before, he'd wake up to a giant mess in the morning. seeing her expression he could already guess that there was no luck, pursing his lips, plus his phone battery was only getting lower curse this weak battery that can't even handle using the flashlight for longer than five minutes; Damn. You said something about the kitchen though, maybe there'll be somethi-- /he trailed off at the mention of her room and the amusing noise she made. But did she just say she was going to go on her own? he gulped, thinking about it, after all the times he'd been over he hadn't actually been to her room properly before; Are you sure? I mean.. You'll need the light though, I'll come with you. /he offered, reaching out for her hand as he begins to stand up, pointing the light to the exit;

pcy: /she blinked back at him a couple times as if noticing something for the first time. to be honest she had forgotten all about the possibility that there could be candles there. But seeing as his battery life was dying faster than she'd like, she wanted to grab the one candle she knew they would have for sure as soon as possible and so she took his outstretched hand and began guiding him towards her bedroom, his hesitation from before going completely unnoticed; um- I wasn't really expecting company so uh- please ignore the mess.. /she mumbled quietly as they stepped into her room. she was kinda glad it was somewhat dark- at least in this lighting he couldn't make out the random articles of clothing that lied around. She and Lisa were often too tired to clean anyways and always undressed and tossed their clothing wherever there was space. Rosé furrowed her brows when she caught sight of something lacy near the floor of her bedside table and quickly kicked it underneath her bed, hoping he hadn't seen it..; AH- here it is! /she chirped, grabbing then spun around maybe a little too quickly and lost footing, feeling herself fall backwards, pulling him along with her. You see- ones initial response would be to grab onto something to stop themselves from falling, rose on the other hand, she simply shut her eyes and braced herself for some sort of impact knowing her bed was there to catch her fall;

kji: Pfft please, if you haven't noticed that I live with a bunch of messy aliens already- That time when it looked like there was a bomb explosion in the dorm.. /he recalled to the one time, when he wasn't expecting either, walking through the doors only to be greeted by the biggest mess to ever happen inside that place. should've marked it down on the calendar in memories of that record. he tried to not be too nosy, and it's not like he could let his eyes wander as the only place he could see was the short distance of where the flashlight pointed at, oblivious to what she actually kicked under the bed. relief came over him as soon as she tells him of the good news, but before he even comprehend what was happening the unexpected pull of her hand caused him to lose his balance too. his phone slipped out of his hand and luckily landed on the edge of the bed while he- ended up covering her was his body, his weight on top of her tinier frame with both palms flat on the bed at each side of her head. he could feel her breath near his lips, and in that moment he swore that if he died right there he wouldn't even notice since he couldn't even tell for himself whether his heart was beating so fast that he couldn't even feel it, or had it paused completely along with his breathing. he didn't move away nor shift, trying to process everything in his head but - him. rose. bed. in her room. blackout. who knew how long that damn battery was going to last given its bare minimum minutes of life - what was there to elaborate on;

pcy: /thankfully, her mattress was there to lessen the amount of pain she would have otherwise experienced. she couldn't say the same for the candle though- the sound of glass breaking seconds before wasn't all that reassuring. Damn- but there were other things that were far more concerning in the moment like how a certain /somebody/ was "crushing" her body, making it hard for her to move and breathe. Oddly enough, she was perfectly okay with dying in this moment. Rosé cracked an eye open, sneaking a peek at him and found him peering down at her. this surprised her and before she could make out the expression on his face, she quickly closed her eye again, pretending as if he had actually crushed her to death, holding onto her breath as if her life depended on it for added effect. Though if he looked closely he could see he corners of her lips twitching some, threatening to curl upward into a small smile;

kji: /when his vision finally - or well, more or less - became clear with whatever he was able to make out of her expression, he could see she was putting her acting skills on show, trying hard not to let out any amused laughter. this dork, he thought to himself before acting along, bringing his ear closer to her lips as if to check whether she actually stopped breathing or not; Look at that.. either I just actually crushed you and freed myself from your future sass, or you're actually the clumsiest butt I've met, I swear. /his voice came as a  hushed but amused whisper, breaking into a grin too as shifts a little to move next to her side on the bed, snatching his phone back just to see what that breaking sound actually was; uh-oh..

pcy: /she was /very/ close to blowing her cover- leave for to her to foil her own plans with a laugh, but thankfully, she managed to push through; ahh I can't get past you can I? /she voiced aloud, eyelids fluttering open once she felt him roll off of her. her brows furrowed slightly and the tone of voice he used did not sound reassuring in the slightest; what's wrong? What happened?

kji: /his laughter echoed through the silent room this time, shining the light in her direction playfully for a secon; You really think you can fool me that easily? but gotta say, good acting skills. If you're ever casted in a drama I better be the first one to hear the news, I'll help you out. /clearing his throat, she chews on his lip as he sees the shattered broken glass on the floor, it wasn't in complete pieces, but enough not to be used anymore; let's say your candle is fine and in a good shape, but we'll need to place it in a different glass-

pcy: /she had sat herself up at some point and ran a hand through her messy dark brown hair, breathing a sigh of relief all the while; geez- for a second i thought something had happened in your family or with your members- /she confessed, nodding her head in the direction of his phone; but i'm glad it was neither of those. as for the glass, i'm sure we can find something else to put the candle in. but then again- if all else fails, im fine with nothing as long as i... have you.. /her voice had grown fainter, her last few words sounded awfully foreign to her. it wasn't that she didn't feel for him in that way, it's just that- it was odd hearing those words come out of her mouth when she was so used to masking her feelings for him through snarky remarks and such;

kji: You got worried? /he blinked a couple of times as he glanced at his phone, which had zero messages at the moment, thankfully before shaking his head with a warm smile at her concern, which subtly made his heart skip a beat yet again; How cute. None of that, trust me I'd have a more serious reaction to it otherwise, you'd know for sure.. /jongin trails off, the words that came past those rosy lips was something he didn't expect to hear from her, it send a shiver up his spin from the pleasant ring of those words, she probably didn't mean it in the way he might've had hopes for, but nonetheless he felt a warm sensation travel through his chest, and just at that moment - his screen goes blank as the device turns itself off leaving them in nothing but the dark. at least he managed to pick the candle out of the broken glass; Rose, come here.. /he shuffles closer, blinding finding her hand to take a hold into his as he falls back onto the mattress, whispering; You got me for sure, I won't be disappearing anywhere from you. now.. we got two options, we can stay here and talk about nonsense. or somehow find our way into the kitchen and find a lighter?

pcy: Huh? Oh- /his voice and his warm touch had pulled her from her thoughts and without much complaint, rose found herself snuggling up to him, draping an arm over his side; hmm.. I want to find us something but I'm more than comfortable lying here~ /she flashed a cheeky grin his way somewhat thankful he couldn't see- maybe- who knows;

kji: /jongin found such comfort in their new position, the way her arm rested on him as he placed his palm on top, in soothing motion rubbing it up and down. he pushed back a grin before realising she couldn't see it anyway, yet his head still turned in the direction to face her; so from what I'm getting here.. you more or less just want to lay next to me like this. understood well and clear. /he teased her back, biting the inside of his cheek to stifle a laugh. he was a fan of rain, maybe not so much of thunder and a stormy weather where it caused blackouts, but this time was surely an exception; if you change your mind I have this candle at hands reach, so we're good to go on a blind adventure for that light. say.. don't mind me asking, i never knew you had such fear of the dark, or is it just thunder itself?

pcy: /okay when he put it liked that it sounded an awful lot like she actually /liked/ this, not that she didn't.. it's just- her emotions have been kind of a mess as of an hour ago and got whatever reason she was feeling more affectionate than normal, especially with him which hardly happens; but only because you're the only other living- breathing thing in here... has Jisoo unnie or lisa have been here, I would've done the exact same! /she muttered under her breath, snuggling a bit closer to his warm body, feet tangling together. part of her words were true, but in the back of her mind, that little voice in her head was yelling at her for justifying her actions and feelings for him; ah.. it's both.. I'm okay if there's some light.. it's just some traumatic things happened when I was growing up and it kinda stuck and i have yet to shake it off..

kji: /strange, was that a slight feeling of disappointment that just sparked up in him? even his smile dropped a little, he was only teasing her either way so he didn't even know why his reactions were like this either but nonetheless, having a warm body next to him in the dark was really calming. he almost blurted out if she'd kiss them like that too but mentally cursed himself for having these thoughts; I wonder if I should remind you the time you confessed I was a better pillow than Lisa, but I won't get into details. /he whispered back amidst his amusement, another smile curling when he felt her getting closer, bringing his head to lean next to hers, quietly listening to what she had to say; traumatic things? how bad were they? /concern rose in his tone wanting to ask more but wondering if he should, and he swiped his thumb gently across her hand while still holding onto it; y'know, dark always made me feel anxious too, something about it that just gives off an alarming feeling. going through more traumatic things, I can only imagine how much harder it must be for you.

pcy: /her brows knitted together in slight confusion as his words reached her ears. what was this nonsense about a pillow and Lisa..? her face paled as realization started sinking in. oh no- was he referring to the events of the night before she awoke to find herself sleeping beside him?; Wait- hold up. /rose sat herself up quickly, maybe a little too quickly cuz she found herself almost falling off of the edge of the bed but caught herself just in time. after recollecting herself, she turned to him, looking down at him with a deep frown; -Before we delve deeper into why the darkness frightens the crap out of me- can we please talk about this pillow business? What do you mean I /confessed/..?

kji: /now this was fun, assuming by her reaction, that seemed to have gotten her flustered, if only she could see the smug grin that appeared on his face. no shame to say that he liked teasing her a bit too much; I don't know rose, you tell me,  I mean you were the one who mumbled all of that leaving me confused before falling asleep. So I got no answers in the end from you, y'know? All I know is that you seemed to prefer my body to lisa's. /from what he could make out in the dark, he could tell that she was frowning, heck he didn't even need any light to know that. he brought one arm behind his head to rest on it, his other waving it off like it was no big deal; tell me more about your past with the dark.

pcy: I- /her cheeks grew and she could feel her ears growing hot from the sound of his words. She what?! Preferred his body more?!?! She would never- or at least she wouldn't say it out loud?? Ahhh- but then it brought her back to not knowing whether they slept together or not?! WHY WAS HE DOING THIS HER. She wanted to scream; Yah- I know you like bullying me but to this extent? It's a little mean isn't it? /she huffed, smacking his arm lightly, her lips forming into a small pout while she looked down at him; ... as for my fear.. I don't- I'll tell you when I'm ready.

kji: /he expected a smack, or at least shouldve seen it coming, it was just too bad he couldn't see her expression right now. he tried to protect himself from her hand too but was just a little too late since he couldn't see in the dark, quietly laughing under his breath before propping onto his elbows to sit up a little; Rose..As much as you think I'm lying- whether you meant it or not, about me being a better body pillow - those were your actual words. It was cute though, I didn't think you actually had such a cute side to you. /his voice softened this time no teasing involved as he allowed this thought to slip out and voice itself, reaching to gently tug on her sleeve; You know, if you ever feel like you need to talk about something, despite our back and forth love hate, I'm here to listen, whether it's anxiety about your fears or anything else that's on your mind.

pcy: /she was still trying to process the information she had fed her. It just didn't make sense- but then again rose under the influence of alcohol- ho boy- she was a character alright so it seemed plausible; Ah.. how embarrassing.. /she muttered under her breath, eyelids falling shut momentarily, shoulders slumping in defeat, wanting so much as to hide forever and ever. But his small drug of her shirt sleeve prevented her from doing so, pulling her right back to reality; ... I- I grew up with a lot of male cousins and they weren't the nicest to me since I was the only girl around the time. They thought I'd be funny to lock me in the unfinished basement we'd been watching a scary movie in this one time and had forgotten me for a good two hours or so before someone found me.. I honestly thought that was the end for me and since then- I've kinda been afraid to be left alone in the dark.. I guess you could say I have some abandonment issues?? An irrational fear of basements? /she bit her bottom lip and turned her head away, not wanting him to see her face in such a vulnerable state, but also because she didn't want to see him change his actions toward her;
