Kindergarten!ateez
Pairing: kindergarten teacher!Y/N x Seonghwa Word count: around 2k  Genre: PURE FLUFF (i busted uwu all over the place while writing it, especially with Yeosang, asdfjasdlf I’m still not over it) A/N: All the members are kindergarteners except for Seonghwa, who’s a good friend of yours. I imagined that the members were around 4-6 years old and Seonghwa 23-24 years old. I know it’s long but I got carried away... 
Tumblr media
Doing crafts with children could become chaotic if you were only one teacher to supervise everything. That was your current situation since your co-worker just gave you a call since she needed to stay home to take care of her sick daughter. 
Nothing had started that you were already out of your mind. You had called your mom and another friend to ask them to help you, but both were unavailable. Your only last hope was Seonghwa, one of your closest friends, but you doubted that he’d be free at this time of the year. “Hello?” You heard a low voice on the other side of the phone, “hi, it’s Y/N!” you happily said, relieved that your friend picked up. “Oh hi Y/N! Are you okay, you sound stressed.” “I’m okay but not really. Are you free right now?” “Uhm, I’m free in 10 minutes. Why?” “To make it quick, I’m in trouble. I’m making Easter crafts with the children and it’s hard for me to keep an eye on everything, they need to be careful with scissors and the hot glue. You’re my last hope Seonghwa, do you think you could come and help me?” You sounded desperate but you couldn’t care, your friend would probably understand your struggle. “Give me 15 minutes and I’ll be there.” “You’re my lifesaver, thank you so so much.”
15 minutes later, as promised, Seonghwa appeared in the school playground with two bags in his hand. You rushed outside to welcome him and hug him. “Thank you so much, you don’t realise how helpless I felt.” “It’s okay Y/N, it’s nothing. Let’s get outside, you’ll catch a cold only wearing your shirt. The air is still quite chilly.”
The children excitedly welcomed Seonghwa when you introduced him to them. Some were shy when he bent to shake their tiny extended hands, especially a boy that hid behind you as soon as Seonghwa approached him. You could see on your friend’s face that he was a bit sad, so you picked up the boy and neared your friend. “Yeosang, Seonghwa is very kind, you know? He’s here to help me with the crafts we’re going to make together. He’s one of my friends, you don’t need to worry.” You whispered to him but he still looked away from the young man. Seonghwa shrugged and smiled when the little boy ran to his friends as soon as you put him down. You smiled at your friend but it quickly faded. “Mingi, no!! Do not touch that, you’re going to burn yourself!” The young boy was near the hot glue gun, his finger dangerously hovering near the tip of the gun. He pulled his finger back as soon as he heard your voice. He looked at the ground, embarrassed to have been caught red-handed. “I’m taking care of it Y/N, alright? Take care of the scissors and punches, we’ll be fine like that.” Seonghwa put a reassuring hand on your shoulder, a friendly smile decorating his lips. You nodded and took Mingi’s hand to guide him towards the scissors. You helped the children cut the paper when they were struggling, healed a few paper cuts and gave a better pair to the left-handed children that were trying to use right-handed scissors. 
“Teacher, look!” “Yeah Teacher, look at what we’ve done!” Two small voices appeared in front of you, two nearly identical red hearts decorated with what seemed to be Easter eggs. “San, Wooyoung, it’s beautiful! Now go to Seonghwa to glue it with your other hearts!” The two children both eagerly nodded and smiled, a small dimple appearing on San’s face. They ran towards your friend, who seemed to get along with every child. You felt a slight tug on your sleeve when Yeosang showed you his finished artwork with a shy smile. “Yeosang, it’s wonderful!” You ruffled his hair as his ears turned red and saw that he was squeezing his work very hard as if it wasn’t glued. “Is it glued, Yeosang?” you beamed at him when he nodded. “You went to Seonghwa alone?” you were shocked that not too long ago, he was terrified to even look at your friend. “He, he told me to, to squeeze it tightly, like this.” Yeosang always stumbled on his words when he dared to open his mouth and you found him adorable. “I’m proud of you Yeosang! Now press it tightly as Seonghwa told you to!” He nodded again, sitting down next to you, holding the papers close with his small hands. As all the kids were done with the cutting and punching holes in their artworks, you began to clean up while keeping an eye on your friend and the kindergarteners. You called Yunho, Jongho and Hongjoong over, asking them to help you cut strings to hang the crafts across the classroom. Yunho and Hongjoong were pretty comfortable doing it but you paid more attention to Jongho since he was one of the youngest children you had in this class. They had set up a mechanism: Yunho was holding the string straight while Hongjoong cuts it, passing it to Jongho, who passed you the string with his small hands, tip-toeing to reach your hand.
From the corner of your eye, you could see Wooyoung and his partner in crime, San, curiously wandering around the bags Seonghwa had brought here. You playfully frowned at them and shook your forefinger in the air, telling them to be careful about their foolishness. They giggled and ran back to observing Seonghwa, who was sticking the last artworks together. You felt a wave of relief washing over you as you saw your friend gladly helping the children. You were a bit scared that he was doing it only because you had asked him to, but he seemed to enjoy it. You had always wondered how Seonghwa was with children and let’s be honest here, you were surprised and touched at how caring and thoughtful he was with them. When Jongho passed you the last string with the last artwork hanging, all the children and Seonghwa applauded. “Great job, kids!” your friend said. “To reward you for your hard work and your great behaviour, I bought something for you.” The children cheered when Seonghwa pulled out a box of each bag with two bottles of orange juice and laid them on the table. They all huddled around and stared in surprise when he opened the lids, revealing homemade cookies to their shining eyes. “Your teacher invited me the other night and we made cookies together. They are all yours now. And, I also bought small Easter eggs!” Seonghwa wriggled a bag filled with small decorated chocolate Easter eggs. “Thank you, Teacher!! Thank you, Seonghwa!!” All the kids cheered again, turning to Seonghwa and then you. You smiled at them, telling them not to eat too much. You went to grab plastic cups as your friend opened the bottles, giving a child a cookie, a chocolate egg and a cup of juice. You all sat down in a circle and talked with the children for a while. Not long later, parents began to come to pick up their child for lunch and you sat down on the carpeted floor, Seonghwa joining you in the following second. “It’s tiring to work with children, they have too much energy. I don’t know how you do this every single day.” “That’s what I chose to do, you know. I love to make children happy, it makes me feel important and great.” “Yeah, they looked so cute once I glued their craft together. It warmed my heart, but I cannot see myself doing this every single day.” “It was tough the first few days but then you get used to it.” You stared at each other and smiled, cheeks heating up when he caught your hand. “Wanna grab lunch together? I’m starving.” He asked, your hand still in his. “Sure. Let me grab my purse and coat.”
Some parents stayed behind to let the children play and talk together. You noticed San, Mingi and another child running around, screaming. San and Mingi stopped in their tracks when they saw both of you walking together, hands still linked. The dimpled boy mischievously smiled and started screaming. “Mingi!! Look! Teacher and Seonghwa are dating!” You suddenly felt very hot, trying to get out of Seonghwa’s hold, but he kept your hand in his, a smirk decorating his face. You tried to shush your kindergartners but it was no use. “Do you think they kissed while making cookies last night?” Mingi giggled at his suggestion, “Maybe they did! Oh my god, Teacher is in love.” Seonghwa was now laughing while you dragged him towards his car. He finally lets go of your hand as you ran to the passenger seat, waiting for him to unlock the car. 
You sat in the car and slammed the door, looking away from Seonghwa. Giggling, he tried to push a strand of hair behind your ear but you pushed him away. “Come on, Y/N, they are kids. You’re allowed to have a romantic life outside your job.” “You don’t understand! San is a little tease! When they’ll come back this afternoon he’ll never let me live! Why did you not let go of my hand when I wanted to?” “Y/N, he’s 5 years old, you’re like his second mom to him, he’s happy for you.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever, let’s go eat.” “Put your seatbelt on, then.” “No.” Seonghwa sighed and leant towards you, startling you a bit with his closeness. He caught the seatbelt on your right and slid it across your body, fastening it swiftly. “Just because you work with children doesn’t mean that you need to act like one,” he mumbled, earning a scoff and a slap on the arm from you. “I was thinking about paying your lunch to thank you but now it’s in your dreams.” you sighed as he started the car. “You can always thank me in another way.” He answered while adjusting the car mirrors. “Oh yeah, you want me to invite you over again to make cookies and when I bring them to the kids they’ll ask me if we made them together?” “No, no,” he said, laughing, “there’s an easier way.” “Tell me then.” You exasperatedly sighed. “Kiss me.” You whipped your head to him, eyes going wide. It was his turn to be shy, red decorating his neck and ears. You chuckled, looking towards the school, not moving an inch. You didn’t know that he had this kind of feelings towards you, you had always thought of him as a friend and that’s it. However, for the past few weeks, when you were telling him stories that happened during work when you sometimes shared dinner, he carefully paid attention to every single detail, asking questions about anything related to you and your work. You also noticed that he was smiling more when he was with you, always taking care of you when you needed it, he was always there for you. He was right, you were allowed to have a romantic life outside of work, and why not with him?
Seonghwa took your silence as your way of rejecting him, he cleared his throat to break the silence. When he was about to reverse the car, you grabbed the back of his neck and pressed your lips against his. It took him about two seconds to realise what was happening and he started to kiss you back. He tugged on his seatbelt to get closer to you and deepened the kiss, lips moving in sync. When you pulled away, Seonghwa pressed his forehead against yours, breathing heavily. You closed your eyes and enjoyed the moment, reaching for his hand. He kissed it and linked your lips one last time before actually reversing the car. "I wanted to do that for a long time," he stated, smiling at you. "You told me about having a romantic life..." "Can I be the reason for it?" "Please." You smiled and giggled as he winked at you.

Grand Prix RPDR RuView: Fractured Fairy Tales (S06E03)
Tumblr media
Who wants to live happily ever once upon?  For Grand Prix RPDR RuView, we’ll be giving you the top moments of each episode, the shadiest moment of each episode, our favorite queen of the each episode, our least favorite queen of each episode, best looks on the runway, and our predictions for next week.
So the episode opens with the 13 queens entering the workroom and seeing Jaymes Mansfield’s mirror message. Alexis Michelle and the other queens congratulate Valentina on winning the first maxi challenge. Some of the queens admitted they underestimated her, mistaking her inexperience for weakness. Then Trinity Taylor opens her big and bemoans not winning. She’s acting like the drunk, bitter bridesmaid, envious that it was not her “special day”.
Tumblr media
It seems that queens like Trinity, have to be the bride at the wedding or the corpse at the funeral (aka the center of attention).
The next day RuPaul enters and has a rather odd discussion about her wax figure, on loan from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. I didn’t understand her hinting there may be a hidden camera, all of them are already followed around constantly. She then informs her legendary children that the episode’s Maxi Challenge will be having to create their own Fairy Tale princess character, as well as a cool sidekick creature, which they will be performing as well...
Tumblr media
I find it odd RuPaul is still referring to it as a “Maxi Challenge” as the last time (to airdate) that there was a mini challenge was in All Stars 2. I wish the producers would bring those back.
The queens are free to use the materials from the Fabric Planet kiosk. Aja believes with her sewing skills that her creation will be so avant-garde and amazing, that she is a force to be reckoned with. Farrah plans on doing a water/mermaid based princess...until she finds out Trinity is doing something similar. Kimora decides on a jungle motif for her princess; she also laments that she does not sew and is dreading doing it. Eureka collects all the rats and cockroaches for her idea, a sewer themed princess. Alexis Michelle, was inspired by her personal hastage #SubwayFish, since she rides the subway to and from events.
For their one on one with Ru, Farrah explains her princess is an underwater celebutante. Farrah tells RuPaul that her sewing proficiency is not up to par, but will try her hardest. Aja tells Ru that her princess, Distastah a volcanic inspiration and her confidence will sell the look. Valentina, dressed as a young Norma Desmond (that’s not exactly the best career reference) describes her princess from the ice planet Azula. 
Tumblr media
Trinity begins to discuss her princess and sidekic....but then digresses into complaining about Valentina winning.
Farrah Moan has gone into full Blonde Benet Glamsey mode when trying to make her ensemble. Eureka, who was moved to pity, decides to help her as much as possible. It may have been just to shut her up, but hey whatever works! The next day, Kimora has Cynthia explain what exactly “cucu” means, she informs that it’s an alternative to the spanish work “culo” (which is a pejorative). Trinity and Cynthia talk about their connection to the Pulse massacre. The daughter of Trinity’s friend was killed, after just finishing school. Cynthia having to reschedule her appearance there had her good friend die after going to Pulse to see her, and deciding to stay to have a fun night out. The queens affirm they must be strong, proud, and have synergy to have the world. it was a really great positive moment in the episode’s drama.
Tumblr media
So this week RuPaul walks down the runway in a look that would give Cinderella a run for her money! Her makeup and outfit are much better this week, I think she may have finally called her Fairy Godmother. The guest judges are the princely Todrick Hall and Broadway baby Cheyenne Jackson. This marks the only time what RuPaul has let anyone in the nine seasons and +100 episodes who has performed in drag on the judge's panel. 
Tumblr media
Fashion Over-Ru:
Category is Princess fantasy!  Leading the runway was Cynthia Lee Fontaine as Princess Cuculina in an ensemble that was essentially an embellished pageant gown. It wasn’t bad, just a bit boring and safe. Her rabbit sidekick was far more entertaining. Peppermint’s fiery Princess Carcinogenetta was half DC villain Volcana and Disney’s Hades. 
Tumblr media
Her “flaming” sidekick, Petey the pilot light was funny and complimented the look well. Farrah Moan’s Princess Pacifica was a cute idea but poorly executed, as she can’t sew and apparently can barely handle a hot glue gun. The bra/fabric wrapped around the waist look was straight out of Season 8 courtesy of Derrick Barry.
Tumblr media
(Anytime you get Queens that say they can’t sew; I hear Bianca Del Rio saying, “really Queen?”) The best part of her Princess look? The wig. Charlie Hides’ Princess Climaxica was very futuristic Hanna-Barbera in a metallic copper gown and spangled headpiece she reminded me of something out of ‘The Jetsons’. Her sidekick, Isabella SnatchPacker, reminded me of the Great Gazoo. Eureka’s sewer princess, was much better looking than I expected it to be, and her story was funny, but I can see the #wigtopiary is still an ongoing look.
I really liked Alexis Michelle’s makeup and hair as Princess #SubwayFish, but felt the more simplistic ensemble wasn’t as exciting. Her sidekick, #subwaytadpole’s makeup on the other hand reminded me of a cross between Insane Clown Posse, Ornacia, and New York guido. Going for a skimpy ensemble when you can’t sew isn’t a bad idea, but Kimora’s Princess Banana Lady was so uninspired and expected that it couldn’t save her lackluster sidekick and less than sensemaking story. Also cut the jungle banana princess motif, Josephine Baker did it first and MUCH better!
Tumblr media
Princess Zathena, Nina Bo’nina Brown (Pinkett Smith’s) martian princess was out of this world! Another stunning makeup job and a cohesive storyline pulled this look together. (I kept laughing at her sidekick because she was essentially boobs on a unicycle) Sasha Velour, had one of the more serious stories, as Princess Uglina and her imaginary troll Lump. The looks was a little hodgepodge, but it correlated with her story and sidekick. Shea Coulee’s Princess Aquaria reminded me ALOT of of Latrice Royale’s Pride Boat look on Season 4, minus the bejeweled lips and sculpted blue updo. It again wasn’t a bad look, just safe and a bit boring. 
Valentina’s chilly Princess Vira was a strong look, I only wished it was a gown, and not a leotard. I think it's safe to say her sidekick, Niddy, was inspired by Navi from The Legend of Zelda. In a look best described as a cinnamon pimp straight out of Candyland, was Aja as Princess Disastah. This look was a disaster from head to toe! From the Heat Miser wig to the chaps (what princess do you know that wears chaps?) to the harsh and ridiculously overdrawn makeup-this look was a hot mess of volcanic proportions. It was if Xtina was thrown into a volcano and bestowed super powers.
Tumblr media
Lastly was Trinity Taylor as Princess AquaPussy. Her look was well executed and was far stronger than the other two queens with oceanic/underwater themes. Her sidekick, Stanky the starfish was especially entertaining. The first sewing challenge showed us who has the strong ideas and creative skills and who has questionable taste levels and inexperience.
Alexis, Nina Bo’Nina, Charlie, Sasha, Eureka and Shea were safe and excused to the backstage. Peppermint confesses she used the princess challenge to face her fear of fire. Farrah’s mermaid ensemble did not make waves, and Kimora’s jungle princess did not have the judges going bananas. Valentina’s icy princess was totally chill. Unfortunately Aja’s creation Disastah went up in smoke. It was way too many things being done at once.
Trinity won the maxi challenge, and Farrah was given a lifesaver by Ru. Aja and Kimora lip synch to Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero,” which is more than appropriate. Aja’s death drops and true raw emotion shined through in the lip synch. So it was Kimora who had to sashay away. Kimora was rather pragmatic, “I did my best, and I looked gorgeous, and now I’ll be known as one of the pretty ones.”
Tumblr media
On Untucked it was Alexis, Shea, Charlie Nina, Sasha, Eureka, and Cynthia go backstage and joke being excited to see fanart about their princess looks. They also open about who they would Kai Kai with, which refers to when two drag queens engage in dating, sexual activity or “hook up”. Who should they try to Kai Kai with? Easy, his name is Jesus. 
Tumblr media
Eureka seems to have learned from last episode and is actively being more reserved and respectful in her intensity. All the queens are sure that Aja will be safe (which is a surprise to us!).
The other queens come to join the others backstage and Aja is on the warpath, clearly upset that she may end up having to lip sync. Trinity tells the queens that Michelle commended her on thinking outside the box and not being afraid to look unpretty (especially for a pageant queen!) When asked about her critiques Valentina begins to tell them, but is interrupted by Aja berate Valentina on all the positive things about her. Cinderella has come back from the ball, and her stepsister is having sour groups as a midnight snack.
Tumblr media
Aja explains why she was so hostile to Valentina, projecting her anger and frustrations. And I commend Valentina for taking the high road and not clapping back at what Aja was saying.
Farrah puts her two cents into Aja’s costume, but she should keep the stones for her own glass house. Trinity chimes in that the judges want to see that the critiques they give are being implemented. Kimora and Farrah have a nice heart to heart, and how Kimora relishes being able to conquer the world with her Las Vegas sister. Alexis, Shea, and Sasha go over and give a pep talk (and some much needed wig glue) to Aja. We see Aja listen and rehearse to the music before heading out for the lip sync. Kimora goes backstage to pack and sees all the letters written to her from the other contestants. Now with only 12 queens left, the Drag hunger games will that much more treacherous!
Jonny’s Favorite Moments:
Grimm: I always loved fairy tales and folklore as a kid, so this challenge definitely was very exciting for me...unfortunately I think it fell flat.  I do give the contestants props for creating their own characters...but it is times like these I think they would have benefited from having to do their own takes on established fairytale and storybook characters. Or they needed someone to come in and help them EDIT their overall ideas. Many of them forgot that a fairytale is a story, and that is what you need to sell to the people. Queens like Charlie, Alexis, and Nina had such strong looks but did not have th best story or sidekick. Or queens like Farrah and Aja had stronger stories, but their outfits were rather basic.
Fairy Dragmother: I really liked that Eureka was so helpful to Farrah and Nina when it came to helping them sew their garments (Nina’s tutorial was one of the extra scenes on the Logotv website). I have a love/hate relationship with Miss O’Hara. She is strong with her aesthetic is solid, although her behavior can be rather abrasive. I was hoping for some Tracy Turnblad’s cockroach dress for dirty glamor for her princess.
Tumblr media
Jonny’s Favorite Shadiest Moments:
Sewing Circle: Charlie Hides, the senior of the group  was anxious about the next maxi challenge: “I’m still sore from cheerleading, so I’m hoping it’s not anything physical.” Nina Bo’Nina Brown chimes “A knitting challenge?” #LovedIt
Daughters of Triton: Four underwater/mermaid looks? This was somewhat like Kimono Gate. If you (Farrah) know at least one other person wants to do the theme look you are and are much better at sewing and tailoring clothes, think of something else! Because if you don’t look better, you will be read to filth!
Jonny’s Favorite Queen:
Alexis Michelle, her Princess #SubwayFish look was amazing...I just wish she had a better story and sidekick that connected it.
Tumblr media
Jonny’s Least Favorite Queen:
Kimora, jungle princess did not have us going 
Tumblr media
I was hoping that maybe we could have seen something with Vietnamese cultural flair with your princess. Instead we got George of the Jungle’s chickenhead. Also her first-world problems of not wearing padding (and expecting the judges to sympathize with her?!) was just really odd.
Predictions for Next Week:
It looks like an acting challenge with Naya Rivera...why didn’t they have her for the Cheerleader challenge, since she actually played one #JustSaying
Anais’ Favorite Moments:
Twist in the tale: I enjoyed the challenge and totally agree with Jonny that it should've been the queen's interpretation of established fairytales-if they had a mini challenge to determine who would assign the queen's which fairytale, I feel they could have concentrated more on their looks and less on creating a rushed story and sidekick.
Back to Basics: RuPaul looked more like RuPaul this episode...was her glam squad on vacation last week?
Anais’ Favorite Shadiest Moments:
Modern day saint: Michelle reading Kimora’s lame excuse of not wearing padding was HILARIOUS. #FirstWorldProblems
Tumblr media
Silence is Golden: Valentina’s silent glare at Aja’s tantrum in Untucked-like Shea said “she's definently feeling a little bit bitter.”
Tumblr media
Anais’ Favorite Queen:
Charlie Hides, I thought she pulled out a great look and (funny) cohesive story for the maxi challenge this week.
Anais’ Least Favorite Queen:
Aja, who (show wise) I feel wasn't as conceptual and innovative as she thought she was. She honestly reminded me of Serena Cha Cha this week with talking a big game and pulling out a disappointing look-then throwing a hissy fit because the judges didn't like it.
