Hello Queenie! I hope you’ve been well. Can I please request some Post Almosts fluff? The gang hanging out together, maybe even a double date 👉👈. If it could also include Charlie that would be awesome! Have a great rest of the week and take care of yourself - you deserve a rest too
They'd cut it close this year, of that there was no doubt; no sneaky jump scares, no near-stabbings with kitchen implements, but somewhere between hanging the fake cobwebs in the corners of the living room and setting out the snacks, the time had just...gotten away from them.
Which meant no one had asked The Question - capital T, capital Q.
"So," Chris said after a dramatic clearing of his throat, bringing their attention to him (not that that was difficult, considering he'd chosen to dress up as, of all things, a Minion for Sam's yearly Halloween bash), "great party, great party...totally chill vibes, sweet soundtrack, incomparable company, obviously...I just can't help feeling like there's something...we're...avoiding...talking about."
Ashley (also a Minion) shook her head and hummed in the negative, turning away from the rest of their little huddle completely to remove a pizza crust from Charlie's (also-also a Minion) mouth as she muttered, "Nooope, nopenopenope, absolutely not, I refuse to encourage him."
It was Sam, of course, who sighed and laughed and set her chin on Josh's shoulder, her dark wig slipping a bit as she asked, "We're not going to find out at the end of the night that that's a real bomb, right?" before gesturing to the mass of duct tape and batteries Josh had wrapped around himself.
"Of course it's not a real bomb, you plebians," he snickered, giving his coat a little adjustment all the same, "but don't go around saying that too loud - everyone here knows how seriously I take Halloween, so let's, y'know...let's see how far they think we're going with the whole Veronica and JD thing, yeah?"
six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!

Can I request a scenario where Grell indirectly sets a girl up with Sebastian? Like Grell introduced the girl to him and something clicks later on.
Sorry about the length! I guess a got a bit carried away! Lovely request, thank you hon!
Even though Grell loved the ethereal beauty, he always insisted on playing hard to get. Or so that’s what the reaper had figured in his mind, besides, who could really avoid him? Not many, aside from the stoic figure, William. He made friends easily, and women seemed to cling to him. Not really catching the drift that he wasn’t necessarily interested in the opposite team. Yet, he still had times where his rather over abundant nature got a few ladies pawing at him, he still avoided them like a dog towards cats.
Even though the majority of women revolted him, he did like the way Y/N carried herself. She had a sense of self. Charisma. Something that wasn’t around him, something he could never find within William, or even truly, within himself. But it seemed Y/N still had that glow to her. The bit of hope that so had been torn away from everyone else in the streets and world of London.
He remembered that as soon as Y/N was introduced to the Reapers Association, he just knew there was a click. While she wasn’t discouraged by the job, she took it seriously and when there was a life she couldn’t spare, she felt a sense of heaviness often overcome her. Making her only more and more particular about the cases, some she flat out snubbed her nose at and pawned it off on the other colleagues. None of them seemed to mind, however, as a good sum of them enjoyed it.
“My, my, my,” Grell smirked as Y/N slaved over a good batch of paperwork. Seeing the expression on her face, she nearly resented it as much as Spears did. “Need a bit of a break?”
Y/N’s eyes flickered upward, not surprised at all that of all people bothering her, it was the crimson haired nuisance. “Not particularly… Just want to get this done and out of here.”
She liked Grell, don’t get her wrong! But she also didn’t want to be dragged off to do one of Grell’s hundredth love quests of the week, helping aid him in acquiring the awfully long list of men he wanted in his life.
With that response, Grell popped himself on her desk, feigned a bit of sadness on his rosy features, “Oh, Y/N! I beg of you to take a break! You’re going to faint if you’re all work and no play!”
“What do you want?” Y/N said flatly. She knew better than to think that Grell cared for her wellbeing. Although a fun enough person once you got around to knowing him, but ‘considerate’ was never a word she’d use for him.
“Hehehe… You think I want something?! I just want you to take a break! We could stop and get some tea, act like those silly little dull humans, and chat.” Grell mused.
“And?” She said, a stern looking on her face.
“Well, and… maybe along the way you could help me with this teeny tiny problem I have… With this handsome gentleman…”
Y/N huffed loudly, setting down her pencil. She straightened up to look him in the eye. “Listen, I love you to death, but I am not going to help you harass some hot guy you barely know!”
“Y/N! I promise this time it’s not like that! I-I think it may be true love… He’s got more style and beauty than any man here… You gotta help me, please. . !” Of course the dramatic side of Grell was coming out.
“And you already know this man?”
“Y-yes! We’ve met a few times, got saucy quick~. But you see, I need to show him how worthy I am of him. And you’re a sensible, albeit a bit of a wretch, but still sensible?” Grell stuttered out, knowing he slipped up a bit. He couldn’t help it, girls just got on his nerves. Maybe it was that underlying hatred for the fact he wasn’t born one. A sad world it was.
She sighed, completely dismissing the last comment. Harsh, yes, but she knew how the young reaper in front of her was, and she’d do anything to get him from going into details of this ‘sauciness’.
“Fine, I’ll help. I guess I do need a break.”
With that, Grell grabbed her by the arm, yanking her and racing off to where the renowned Ronald Knox had spotted the pair, his beautiful Bassy, and the unfortunately annoying Ciel. It didn’t take them long until they reached the destination, and spotted them. They were looking around the markets.
“There! There! I see them, let’s go!” Grell said, ushering Y/N forward.
“W-Wait, calm down Grell! We haven’t planned what you want me to do… !”
The red haired gentleman could barely hear her, let alone care what she had to say, figuring they’d make it up as they go. With one final push of the girl, she crashed into a tall, dark haired figure with eyes that glowed a beautiful fuschia. She was about ready to pounce on Grell and tear him a new one for causing her all this embarrassment, until she looked up and noticed him.
“I’m so sorry,” she muttered, finally breaking from the trance he’d locked her in. He had such a beckoning gaze.
Ciel still had his back turned to the trio, not really bothering to look up or really care at all about the situation. He could give less than two hoots about what happened to the demon, after all.
As Sebastian parted his lips to mutter about how no apology was needed, a smirk forming on his lips, Grell, as per usual, his shriek ruined this rather intense moment. “Oh, Bassy~! I’m so sorry about that wench! She simply has no sense of direction. A total clutz!” He practically screamed it, enough that passersby were giving them weird looks.
She turned to glare, “Say it a little louder, why don’t you?”
A chuckle arose in Sebastian’s throat. Sassy, wasn’t she? He liked that.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you pushed her.”
“But of course, you do know better, my love,” uttered Grell, rubbing his neck awkwardly. “This is Y/N L/N~! She was just bragging about me being such a good friend, all my lovely qualities, and how LUCKY she is I’m friends with her, when she happened to bump into you. I don’t know why I take pity on her… Poor thing can barely walk.”
Normally, Y/N would be more than furious about Grell’s statements and put him in his place, but she just kept her gaze at the butler. Sure, he was more than handsome. Devilishly, some might say. But there was something within her that told him that he was so much more. After all, Y/N was a reaper. And she’d heard the legends of there being so many other creatures out there. Special and filled with beauty. Perhaps the man in front, who she desperately wanted to know better, was one of them.
Sebastian frowned, before a gloved hand was placed upon hers. “Oh, really? And what great qualities, were they, Miss Y/N?” He then placed a kiss on her hand before she could answer. And when he smiled, he showed a thick row of pearly whites.
Cheeks flushed and she was sure she was visibly embarrassed. How could she become so enthralled with a stranger so quickly? “It seems it’s slipped my mind.” She snapped, shooting a glare towards Grell. “And your name?”
Sebastian released her hand, ready to answer, before once again being interrupted by Grell, “OH BASSY! No replies are needed for her. Besides, I’m sure that little miss Y/N is starting to remember those great qualities!”
“Afraid not. Now, your name, before you were so rudely interrupted.” Y/N said.
“Sebastian Michaelis.” He bowed. “No need for the concerns, M’lady, as I am just a lowly butler.”
Before another flirtatious response between the two, and some sobbing response from Grell could be assumed, the boy that had not been acknowledged, turned and appeared. His conversing with the salesman was over.
“I gathered the information for the Queen we needed,” the young boy said to his butler. Y/N looked almost surprised such a young man was working for the Queen. Then again, she did hear whispers about the Queen’s guard dog… “We must be heading off to see the old Undertaker, might as well get some information on the bodies.”
Ciel shot Y/N a strange and curious look, before glaring at the reaper next to her.
“As you say. Once again, it’s been a pleasure, Y/N. Can’t say the same for you, Sutcliff… I have a feeling, M’lady, I’ll be seeing you very soon. As I hope.”
With that, he nodded, and the pair walked off.
Y/N’s face was completely hot at that point, and she knew that she hoped the same. However, Grell was going to murder her. But then again, what’s the crime of seeing him again if Grell and this handsome stranger weren’t even together?

Best Friends to Lovers!Seokmin
HAHAHA THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS!!!!!! I PULLED THIS SHIZ ON YALL!!!1!11!! this is part 2 of seokmin’s bday present. and yes i know im over a month late leAVE ME ALONE!! THIS IS THE FIRST BULLETPOINT AU OF 2018!!! AND YES ITS AT THE END OF MARCH!!! FORGIVE ME CHILDREN!!!! i had SOOOO much fun writing this but maybe a bit too much bc i think i went overboard,,, but i cant help it that he needs so much love!!!
this is THE. LONGEST. BULLETPOINT. AU. I’VE. EVER. WRITTEN. it has definitely surpassed assassin!cheol pt 2 by a long shot and im a little concerned honestly bc i go OFF whenever i talk about my biases, especially the underrated ones. (wonwoo, you’ll get your turn one day wait for me bby)
happy bday to my sunshine pt 2. i love you so much that words will never be able to express it, even as a writer who writes as a hobby and has to Put Things Into Words. you’ve been such an amazing influence not only on the members, but also on carats and other diverse fans. i’ve always believed the saying that the brightest smiles hold the most pain, and i may not know all of your struggles, but i know how much you have to hide behind this idol front. we love you unconditionally, so please keep shining for us. also allow yourself to be sad and other negative emotions, but there must be darkness in order for the light to be appreciated, right? thank you for being the ball of sunshine we so deeply love. 💕💕💕
warnings: might give you diabetes on how soft and sweet i was feelin!!! as a double bias, it is hard to give everyone equal love so this is the 1 time i could fully dive into it!! also seokmin is a flirty and jealous drink sipper
Part 1: Be There In Spirt
Seokmin was your go-to for anything and everything
Whether it was to find a movie buddy or seeking advice, he was always there
You first met him at some social event your friend dragged you to
“So you can talk to more people!” Your friend would respond when you asked why
You really didn’t care much, if at all, for parties unless someone you’re acquaintanced with was also there
Your friend was too occupied with other people, so you just grabbed some food and juice and settled yourself in the kitchen
Someone entered the door and you could hear the volume of his muffled voice even from the other side of the door before he entered
You were just chilling at the countertop with your back to him and munching on your tortilla chips with salsa that you didn’t care who entered
He noticed that you were the only one there and you were eating and occasionally sighing mood tho
As he was opening his soda, he asked you pointedly, “is the food good, at least?”
You were startled and slightly jumped at the sudden sound of someone’s voice
You turned around to be greeted with the goofiest yet brightest smile
Is it possible to see that bright of a smile or one at all when someone’s drinking? Bc he definitely made it work
You just finished swallowing your food and merely brushed your hands and shrugged, “it’s pretty bland like this party,” which earned a heart laugh from the boy
“You got dragged here, too?” You nodded and cracked a smile. “What, was the whole antisocial ‘take refuge in food’ act a dead giveaway?”
He smiled and lightly chuckled, “that, and how you were muttering about getting dragged here as you munched on your chips,” he gestured to your now empty plate
“Hey, correction — I said that I was brought here against my will”
“Like that’s such a big difference,” he says with a smile on his lips as he finishes up his soda
“And it’s not every day that I meet a cool, tortilla-chip-eating person at a social, but maybe I would let myself get dragged out more often”
You kinda stared back at him and slowly blinked bc like
Was that a hint of flirtation in his tone or were you just that self-centered?
Maybe best of both worlds
You raised an eyebrow at him, “you want to see a loner at the snack table?”
“It’s easier to approach you or anyone like this, isn’t it?” He flashes another one of his infamous pearly grins and reaches in your bowl to steal a chip and pops it in his mouth
You jokingly say, “Oh, you think we’re friends now?”
He laughs throatily and puts his hands up in defense
“I think we’re past the stage of bonding over stale chips and salsa at this point”
And you’re cut off shortly when his rowdy group of friends interrupts the friendly banter y’all had rip :(((
Those darn cockblockers
“I’ll see you around, Tostitos,” he throws in a wink and gives you a short wave as he backs away from the door and leaves you as quickly as he entered
You shake your head and look at the sad, crinkled bag of chips and salsa
“Did he just nickname me after a brand of this stale party food??????”
What an iconic first impression tbh bless
Ever since then he would have this weird nickname system of naming you after foods you would eat to make fun of you or just joke around
“Cheer up, cheese puff!” ok this actually sounds kinda cute and now I’m soft :’(((
“Be there or be square, you pretzel”
You: “that didn’t even make any sense”
“Don’t be salty” ba dum tss
“Can you help me out, (peanut) butter cup?”
“Whatever you say, nerd...s”
“Okay you’re not getting any of my other candy then, seok”
He’s the only one out of your friend group — actually just everyone in general — to yell directly into your ear as a greeting
He calls it “cute”………………….. ok seok
But it’s ok bc he gives out the best hugs
Or maybe it’s just the best to you heheh ;)))
Invented!! Bear!! Hugs!!
The best ones that crush your lungs and you can barely wheeze out a breath
Your ideal hang out session with him involves screaming at the top of your lungs while playing Mario Kart and having a whole junk food feast sprawled out on the coffee table
“bRO YOU MADE ME SWERVE”
“GET OUT YOU’RE IN MY WAY”
Bonus: the chips and candy are also sometimes used to pelt at each other
It’s honestly more of a damn jungle when y’all are together it’s amazing LMAO
The type to crash at your place unannounced whenever he wants
You would open the door and he would just stroll in and look through your fridge like he’s lived there all his life
“WHY are you going through my fridge??? You need to go home, I have things to do today”
“Eh, we can just work alongside together—you’re running low on juice”
“Imma juice you boi if you don’t leAVE”
Your friend group most likely carries a pair of earplugs whenever you’re together
But underneath their rolling of eyes, they lowkey highkey ship the hell outta y’all
They even sometimes drop gigantic hints for you to get together but,,, things don’t exactly go their way
“Hey, Seokmin, my parents are having a barbecue this weekend. Maybe bring a plus one? Like uhhhhhh Y/N?” Real subtle
And he’d be like “what, Y/N??? Why would we need a plus one??? Aren’t we all going together anyways?”
The same thing happens on your end too smh
“My cousin is having a birthday party, you wanna come with? You can bring a date or whatever, probably Seokmin or something”
“Seok??? He would probably burn the place down HAHA but ya I guess I can bring him *shrug*”
And every time, both of you would ask: “but why (that other person)??? I can bring (insert another random member)”
GET A CLUE BABES!!! OH MY LORD
And they would just shake their head like sigh look at these naive kids
Mingyu: so are we just gonna let them be dumb like this orrrr????
Cheol: yeah let’s just leave them alone — nO THEY DON'T SEE HOW PERFECT THEY ARE TOGETHER WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING I’m with u on that one cheols
So this is the O Great Seungcheol’s plan: make each other jealous without knowing y’all would get jealous
A foolproof plan, amiright folks????
And what other cliche perfect way to do that than a WEDDING
it just so happens that Seokmin’s aunt is conveniently getting married and he’s inviting the whole crew
And the guys are like mwHAHAHA THIS IS PERFECT
Everyone’s talking about who’s bringing who as a date and things like that and you’re just chilling and scrolling on your phone
And everyone’s making eyes at each other without you knowing bc they’re like ok y’all time to initiate I Still Get Jealous Plan
“how about you, Y/N? who are you taking?”
And Seokmin subconsciously wants to know too bc he’s tuning in with the rest of them LOL
And you don’t even bother looking up at your screen bc that’s how indifferent you are to this whole thing
“I don’t really care, I guess anyone who doesn’t have a date or something”
Seokmin is about to open his mouth and ask you since that’s your usual thing
BUT SHOCKER!! SOMEONE BEATS HIM TO IT!!
“How about going with me? I don’t have anyone”
And you expected Seokmin to say those words, but you look up and see Jeonghan smile at you
THE LOOK OF B E TR A YA L ON SEOKS FACE DID THE TEMPERATURE JUST DROP BC IT IS C O L D IN HERE
Admittedly, you feel a little odd going with someone who’s your best friend and go-to for everything but hannie is your friend, so you don’t mind too much
So you’re like “o-oh sure that works”
And you steal a glance at seok but he has an unreadable expression and is smiling like usual
And for some reason you feel your chest drop just the slightest bit bc you thought he would at least fight for you a little bit and say something like
“heY HEY Y/N IS MY GO-TO FOR THESE THINGS”
But he doesn’t at all,,, and his lips looked a little strained when he smiled
and jeonghan is looking all slyly at seok bc he knows just a minute ago he could feel the back of his head being burned off by Seokmin’s glare
The convo picks up from where it previously left off and things are back to normal but the atmosphere is a little heavy
The day of the wedding comes and you’re about to finish dressing up
You’re waiting for half of them to pick you and meeting the other half at the venue
And ofc, in this half includes seok and jeonghan yikes
You hear your doorbell ring, and you’re like oh they’re here!! You say bye to your parents and put on your coat and shoes
When you open the door, you find yourself in front of Jeonghan and he’s like holy crAP
He’s awestruck and is looking at you like :OOOOO
“Jeonghan! Uhhh,,,, do I look weird???”
And he snaps out of it and is violently shaking his head like nO NO N O ofc not you look amazing
And you’re like heck yea I do I spent time looking this good :)))) (you don’t actually say this but it’s a thought)
and you get a funny feeling in your stomach and you realize you’re anticipating what Seokmin would think
If you got a good response from your “date,” surely your best friend would say smth good too??? Right??? That’s how this works???
Little did you know Seokmin (and everyone else) witnessed what happened and they’re like oMG Y/N LOOKS GOOD
Seokmin couldn't help but feel it should be him in Jeonghan’s shoes but he couldn’t refute the fact that you did indeed look like a million bucks
As you get in the car you lock eyes with him and you’re like hey Seokmin!!!
But you’re instantly b l o w n away by how CRISP HE LOOKS
His brown hair that’s usually sitting down and hides his forehead is now slicked back but in a way that still stands up and exposes more of his forehead and outlines his masculine face shape
His sharp suit perfectly fits on his toned body and you’re fully convinced you’re looking at an angel
YALL KNOW WHAT LOOK IM TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW.
You have to actually hold back a squeak bc you’re shook af
And he’s dying bc of how cute you are and wow are his palms sweaty???
You end up sitting in the middle of him and jeonghan and you’re just sitting happily and waiting to see what kinda food is at the wedding lmAO
but the real meal here is you eh??? Eh??? ;))))
Seokmin seems a little nervous and tense sitting next to you looking that good like he’s actually a little intimidated
You’re waiting for him to speak up and he’s clearing his throat and stammering a little bit
“Y-you look really nice, Y/N”
And you’re like ahahahhahhdgdhhhcjdbdhhd
“Thanks, seok, you clean up really nicely too”
And both of you can’t look each other in the eyes bc you’re gonna actually combust if you do
And everyone in the car is looking at each other like hehehhehehehh it’s workinggggg
When y’all finally arrive at the venue, you get out of the van with the help of Jeonghan’s hand
Seokmin: conceal don’t feel :))) channel your inner Elsa man :))))
And jeonghan is glancing back at Seokmin every so often to test him
And Seokmin is starting to catch on like ,,,, why is hannie always looking at me
He tests him even more when he casually holds your shoulder and drapes his arm around you
And Seokmin is like !!! ELSA WHERE ARE U
Jeonghan is being a little too touchy in seok’s eyes and Seok is silently fuming over the drinks
Soonyoung is like dude I can feel your dark energy all over my soup what’s up with you???
Seok is about to explode at this point and anything can set him off
“isn’t Jeonghan being just a little too touchy-feely with Y/N? That looks like borderline harassment. They’re not even dating!”
And soonyoung is silently laughing bc he’s like oh you fool lmao
“You sound a little too overprotective over your best friend. Well — if that’s really the reason why you are”
“Of course I’m just worried — dID YOU SEE THAT ARE THEY FEEDING EACH OTHER”
Soonyoung: u need help bro
“Steal a dance with her later” soonyoung says and seok is like uh what Im not gonna make a fool out of myself
All soonyoung does is shrug and winks and he goes back to eating
Soon enough the dancing portion begins and jeonghan takes you out to the dance floor
And it’s nice bc you’re just having pure fun and dancing goofy moves, not to mention Jeonghan is great company
But you’re a little disappointed you and seok weren’t able to talk and have fun the way y’all usually do
Jeonghan has sensed this the whole day and he says “I’ll be out of your hair soon enough”
You’re taken aback by his statement and you’re like “what no you were really fun to be around tonight!!”
And he laughs and ruffles your hair like “no need to cover it up. I knew this would provoke him” and you both look across the room where seokmin is standing alone, sipping on his drink as he pretends he wasn’t just looking at you dancing for the past ten minutes
The upbeat song transitions to a slower song and jeonghan pats you on the shoulder
“Here’s lover boy’s cue ;)))” and he bends down to your ear and whispers
“But I could stay here longer and mess around with him a little longer”
You push him away laughing and say “let’s not torture the poor guy any more than you already have”
Both of you are laughing and SURPRISE SEOKMIN APPEARS
and he claps his hand on hannie’s shoulder and says “May I?”
And jeonghan nods and looks between the both of you and is all ;)) have fun kiddos and winks at you right before he leaves
And now there were only 2
You didn’t realize you would be so nervous until your heartbeat nearly spiked up when he came into contact with you
DHHDHDJDJ SORRY IM FREAKING OUT WRITING THIS WOWIEURJ SCREAMS
It’s good I’m good we’re good this is good
His cheeks are tinted pink as he attempts but fails to make eye contact with you once again
He gently takes your hands and places them around his neck and then places his own around your waist
It’s only at this moment that you’re able to make proper eye contact for possibly the first time that entire day
You’re slowly moving to match the slow tempo and you can feel your face getting hotter in the heat of the moment
It stays intimate and silent for a few moments before the both of you try to break the silence
“Umm,,” “So,,,”
Androgen you laugh at how awkward you’re both getting
“This is probably the first time we’re not screaming for the whole area to hear”
He chuckles and nods slowly
“I think my breath is just taken away” he says so softly that the music could have drowned his voice out if it weren’t for the close proximity of you and him
and you’re like ??? By what??? Are you feeling ok??
“By you”
And you’re like bLUUUSSSSHHHing big time
“A-ah, stop it, I only tried to look a little more presentable today,,,,”
Jeonghan somewhere in the distance: that’s not what you told me this morning!!
“You always look beautiful no matter what”
And now you’re at a complete loss of words bc well how do you respond to your best friend who’s shooting compliments one after the other so easily????
You’re desperately trying not to melt into a puddle in his arms but it’s a little hard
“You’re charming as always, Lee” and he’s like ;)) ofc ofc
“You’re a good-looking fellow yourself, not just me. Have you seen the girls who were drooling over you today??”
He blankly blinks at you and shakes his head
“Well, I didn’t notice actually. All of my eyes were on you tonight,,,,,”
FUCUEHEYDH IM SCREWMJRN IM SC REA MIN F
You’re a full fledged tomato by now and you’re trying to bury your face in his chest so that you could save face from this horrid embarrassment
“Okay, tone it down, Seok,,,, I cant handle all of this complimenting for a night”
He laughs and pulls you closer to his chest, his grip on your waist a little more secure
“I don’t know where this is all coming from either, but now that it is, I might as well say it all”
“What was that drink earlier???”
“I swear I’m 100% sober rn ask soonyoung!! Anyways, I didn’t think much of anything when I first met you honestly, but looking back at it, I think there was already some bit of attraction since then”
“You liked me when I was eating chips and salsa??? Really???” You look up at him incredulously
“It may not be the most flattering moment, but it was cute how you were hunched over your bowl LOL”
You: lemme just DIE
“If Jeonghan weren’t your date today, I’m not sure if I would have ever realized this. Maybe at some point, but at a much later time. I think it would have consumed me anyways”
He notices you’ve gone quiet and he’s like oh lord what if I messed up omgofkfkkf
“So,,,, yeah,,, i get it if you don’t feel the same way,,, I don’t wanna make things weird if you’re uncomfortable knowing this,,, but it was made crystal clear tonight that I really like you more than a best friend. I think I always have”
And you’re breaking out into giggles bc you realize how dumb you’ve both been
And he’s like !!!???!!!! why are you laughing omg I’ve done it you think I’ve gone mad
“tbh Seokmin I was disappointed that you weren’t my date since you usually would fight the members if they asked me”
“I kinda thought maybe I’ve been forcing you to do it too much with me?? and the other guys and you can do whatever you want”
“Seokmin, we’re best friends i would have picked you in a heartbeat”
And he’s like skdjjdjh is it suddenly hot in here it’s just you ;)))
“But as for the feelings…… it is weird”
He’s like oh :((,,, yeah I knew it would be kinda weird—
“—that we’ve liked each other all this time and it took us this long to realize it through some dumb wedding date thing”
And his face immediately lights up and you’re about to clutch your heart by how pure he is :’))))
He almost blinds you with his smile and he pulls you in so that your slow dancing position turns into a hug and he’s giggling into your hair and is spinning you around
*INHALES DEEPLY* MY GOD SOMEONE PROTECT THIS PURE BUN IM GONNA CRY I LOVE HIM SM
You can't help but giggle with him since his laugh is so infectious and you’re both a bubbly giggling mess my lord I think I just got diabetes
Poor baby was deathly scared you were gonna reject him but he’s so relieved you didn’t!!! :’))))!!!!!!
He slowly pulls apart from the hug and you’re both looking at each other hesitantly, bashfully
and In The Moment all you’re thinking about is how warm and how right it feels to be in his arms
You’re both still in your hugging position, his arms wrapped around your upper back/shoulders and your arms around his torso
You’re a little out of breath because of all the laughing and spinning, and both his and your eyes flicker to the other’s lips
You’re not sure who leaned in first but the next thing you know, your faces are only centimeters apart, his hand on your cheek
And then you feel something warm and soft on your lips
Holy hELL, am I really kissing Seokmin???!!! You’re silently freaking out and it’s just like
Your brain: ⁉️⁉️‼️‼️⚠️⚠️⚠️
You can feel his smile against your lips as he lightly tugs you closer to him and engulfs you in his embrace
But your mind gets fuzzier with every passing second so you let yourself enjoy the moment
Until you hear distant cheering in the back
“yyyYYYEESSS WE DID IT BOYS FREAKING FI NA L L Y”
You and Seokmin pull away and look back like wtf is happening
Sure enough, the other 12 guys are whooping and cheering and you would have thought it was your own wedding
,,,,refer to husband!seokmin
Seokmin’s just like “wait y’all planned this???”
Jeonghan: ya it was so fun teasing you this past week lmao you’re welcome tho :))))
Seokmin: I’m gonna eat your share of ice cream for the next month :))))
And everyone’s just like “y’all literally took years to realize this you should thank us uhhh”
Seokmin’s about to open his mouth to spout out some more objections but you tiptoe to peck him on the lips to make him shut up
“eeeEW UGHH nvm I already regret doing this”
“Seungcheol I will eat your share of ice cream too”
On the ride back home, you’re both comfortably leaning on each other, your head on his chest and his on top of yours
You’re so worn out that you sleep the whole way back home
Bonus: the guys in the car are giggling softly and take secret pics
Extra bonus: they taunt you both and use it as blackmail but in reality they’re jealous and want you to use it as your phone wallpaper
Extra extra bonus: he gives you a goodnight kiss at the front of your door and the guys scream in disgust and hurry him to return home :’)))))

“Hiya, babes! It’s Laura!”
“Hello! It’s Laura! We hit a thousand, babes! We did it!
Laura was just another small time girl trying to hit it big with YouTube. There was hundreds of Youtubers like her out there. They put on makeup. They play video games. They review movies. They vlog about their day. They try weird products and make comedy shorts.
I found Laura on a late night. She’d made a comedy short with Katherine Short, a YouTuber I had followed for a few years. Laura caught my attention with her low voice, sweet smile, and odd eyes- she had heterochromia. One eye was dark brown, like her hair. The other was like a husky dog’s. Piercing blue.
Laura was new, she barely had a hundred followers when I first clicked subscribe. After that collaboration with Katherine, you could see her confidence soar. I had fun with her wit and hey, if someone’s entertaining, I’m gonna hit that magic red button.
“Babes! It’s Laura! Someone from my work recognized me! Crazy, huh?”
 “Whooo, babes! Before we get started, gotta tell you who’s sponsoring this video! There’s this really cute dating app, I’m on it now actually, maybe we’ll get matched up, haha! Anyway...”
 When you start on YouTube, I figure it feels like screaming into the void. Maybe someone you’re friends with watches. Maybe they show two or three of their friends. But it’s nothing for so long. Then you set off a spark, and something happens. Say the right thing at the right time, do something with the right people, and you no longer have to scream at the void. There’s someone out there. Listening
 I did sign up for that dating app, and yeah. I got matched up with Laura. We actually talked, for a good week. I dropped contact first. I was shy. She was confident in every message, and I just couldn’t keep up. Plus I used a picture from me five years ago, ten pounds lighter, airbrushing out the acne scars. Hey, I’m a superficial bastard. Bite me.
 “Five. Thousand. Babes, we’ve done so much! I love you!”
 “I’m doing YouTube full time. I’ve just handed in my two weeks notice, I’m gonna be a STAR, babes!”
 I think that’s where things went… wrong. Laura quitting her job, that felt premature, but I wasn’t gonna judge. She was pretty good. Just. Not that good.
 The follower count started to go stale when it came to going up. Videos came out more often, sure, but they started to feel more and more like a rehash of the same jokes. I almost felt second hand embarrassment. Almost.
 I think things really got rough when Laura and Katherine had a fall out on Twitter.
 It started when Laura tweeted something that… well, it lacked tact to say the least. Katherine immediately called her out on it, and it started up the cat fight. I won’t lie, I was watching it unfold while eating potato chips. It was entertaining.
 But oh boy. It was messy to watch a friendship fall to pieces for the world to watch. Messy, but fun.
 Unfortunately for Laura, Katherine had the force of one hundred fifty thousand subscribers behind her. Laura didn’t even hit ten thousand when this happened.
 She lost subscribers, and things went where you’d expect. Katherine’s followers, running to her ‘aid’, starting slamming the thumbs down button on every video. Every one. Hateful comments poured in, things I won’t repeat and would definitely get these kids bitch slapped by their parents.
 “Sorry that it took so long for the video this week, babes! Had to slay a bitch…”
 “Look. All I gotta say was I wasn’t wrong! Katherine just believes every word should be scrubbed in case of ‘triggers’, you know?”
 However, sponsors don’t like a bad attitude. Unless it’s funny. And Laura wasn’t being funny.
 They dropped her one by one, and you could see desperation sink in Laura’s face with every new update.
 “This is my apology video. I… I might’ve reacted a bit harshly to Katherine’s comments, and I shouldn’t have responded to someone trying to pick a fight. The way I’ve acted lately is not okay.”
 “Heheh. Ramen for lunch this week, babes. But hey, I’m gonna start putting out more videos! That’s cool, right?
 Oh, she did. She got into the Let’s Play culture, picking out the newest and hottest horrors. More sketches. Dozens of more vlogs. It quickly became obvious she was documenting every moment of her day to share with her followers.
 But little too late, you know? Besides, her stuff wasn’t getting any fresher. If anything it got worse, since no one would work with her anymore. The spat with Katherine ruined that.
 Laura started looking awful. Her hair was unbrushed. She’d wear the same clothes for several days in a row. She was losing weight, her eyes got dark circles. It was bad to say the least. But even I was getting bored of it. Her vlogs turned into her sobbing over bowls of instant noodles or darkly staring at the camera. Sometimes it was spiced out with insane rambles about ‘the whore’, aka Katherine. But yeah.
 The day I almost hit the unsubscribe button was the day she put out the video entitled ‘NEW SERIES: HUNTER’. I figured it was a letsplay.
 But no, Laura was outside, and she looked happier than she had in days. But not a good kind of happy. The absolutely batshit nutty kind of happy.
 “Hi babes! I know I’ve been in a rut lately. But this is what’s gonna bring all you miserable fuckers back to me! You’re gonna love this...”
 I rolled my eyes and sat back in my chair, the camera had been dropped to Laura’s side as she ran up the pavement. I heard a window open and the camera was lifted back up. Suddenly the room felt very, very cold.
 This wasn’t Laura’s house.
 It was Katherine’s. She always does vlogs in her bedroom. And right now, she was asleep, sprawled across her bed and unaware that Laura had invaded her house.
 “This isn’t my fault. It’s hers. She never… never appreciated me.”
 The camera was set on the desk, and I caught a glimpse of Laura’s mad, grinning face… and the glint of the kitchen knife in her hand. She was excited.
 “Hold on tight babes!”
 Katherine stirred. Laura pounced. The knife went up in the air before stabbing Katherine’s throat.
 When Katherine screamed, it was mixed with the burbling of drowning in her own blood.
 I couldn’t move. Couldn’t hit stop. Just watched Laura stab Katherine over and over again, through the chest, her genitals, her face. Didn’t stop until she fell off the bed. Everything was silent for ten, long minutes.
 Then Laura stood up, shivering. She picked up the camera and panned it down Katherine’s mutilated body. I nearly hurled. Katherine’s insides has pooled over the bed, she was nearly sliced entirely in half with the amount of force that had been put into it.
 “This what you wanna see, huh babes? Is this it? Is this new enough? Is this good enough for you, an idea that will impress you? It better. It fucking better.”
 She turned the camera back to her face.
 “See you all next time, I’ll try making those galaxy cake pops! Byebye, Babes!”
 The video ended.
 I immediately clicked back to her channel, mouse driving up to the unsubscribe button. I couldn’t deal with this. The bitch had snapped. Katherine was dead.
 Then I saw the numbers were different.
 Fifteen thousand subscribers.
 I refreshed the page.
 Twenty three thousand subscribers. More than what she had started with.
 I went to bed, figuring I’d wake up to a takedown notice and a nonexistent channel.
 She was up to sixty one thousand subscribers and the video had gone viral.
 I couldn’t believe it. Was it a joke, a prank? Or had Laura truly murdered someone on camera, and the whole world was going to eat it up? Something that was finally unique on this godforsaken website?
  Either way… I won’t be missing Laura’s next update.
