I think part of adulthood is realizing that if you feel insane you're probably actually fairly normal 👍 it's good to make some weird art about it and find out that it's resoundingly relatable

Take You Away (DarkXGN/AFAB!Reader) Chapter 1
Commission prompt:
Dark/afab gn!reader: the reader is naturally submissive with a praise kink to end all praise kinks—dark likes to fluster & tease the reader with praise until all they can do is whine and whimper needily? Mixed with- DarkxReader- Dark is a mythical, eldritch, being who lures curious souls into his forest. Similar to InfelixXReader.
Alright, if you know my writing by now, you know I almost always gotta come up with a back story. So this first chapter is all world building and fluff.
Only warning for this first chapter is it talks about the death of a grandparent.

It was fitting, empathetic almost really. Grandma had cried herself practically empty and so the clouds above were drizzling their own tears for the family. A melancholic smile turned your lips up the slightest bit as you watched your grandma get up from her second home in the dirt of the small garden, wiping her hands clean on her old apron. It wasn’t until you realized she was going to attempt to carry the over-filled basket of vegetables that you finally sprung into action.
“Hey, why don’t you let me carry that?” you offered gently.
At first, you thought she was going to refuse your offer, that familiar stubborn look coming into her eyes until she relented with a sigh.
“I suppose,” she grumbled.
After handing off the basket, she took a few of the potatoes and carrots off the top.
You offered her a grand smile and said, “It’s the least I can do after lazing around and just watching you do all the actual hard work.”
“Yeah yeah.”
She waved you off and started toward the back door but not before you spotted the little grin she now had. It felt like a victory of epic proportions after how down everyone had been the past few days. The toll of your grandpa’s death had dealt a mighty blow, which is why you were staying an extra week at home with her. Not that you minded. You needed the break from work and it had been a long time since you’d seen her in person.
“You coming or not, child?” she chastised warmly from the doorway.
Chuckling and giving her a little shrug, you replied, “Yep, sorry! Got lost in my thoughts.”
It amused you to no end that, despite being over eighteen for however long, she still called you child just like when you stood at her knee height. Some things never changed. Just like how she stood at that same spot every night to cut up the ingredients for supper, and how she always kept her coffee mug just a little too close to the edge for your liking.
Setting the basket on the floor by the pantry, you slowly worked to get all the vegetables put away while listening to the steady chopping of the knife on the board and the gentle sound of her humming. The instant you were finished, you joined her at the counter.
“Uh-uh. You know I love you dearly, child, but you’ve been clucking around me like a mother hen all day. You and I both need a break. Leave me to do my work and go get some fresh air. Maybe go see if that Walmart boy you used to like so much remembers you.”
At the mention of your middle school crush, the Walmart greeter who was at least a generation older than you, you barely managed to hold in a cringe-laced groan.
“Uh, no thanks. I’m good on that front,” you muttered, rapping your knuckles on the counter rhythmically, “But I’ll find something to do.”
Before you had even finished the sentence, you knew exactly where you were going. You’d been dying to explore the woods outside the house since the day after the funeral but didn’t want to leave your grandma alone too soon. You’d spent most of your summers there as a kid until your parents stopped bringing you here.
“Go. Have fun. Act like the young adult you are and get into a little mischief. Not too much though!”
You slipped your jacket on and called out a reminder to your grandma that you were only a phone call away before running out the door. You noted, thankfully, that the slow drizzle from before had lightened up even more into a sparse sprinkle so you had the option of keeping your hood down. As your feet moved towards the familiar path through the back gate, your mind began to wander.
You knew it was a stupid hope. It had been over a decade since you’d last visited, so logically you knew that the little meadow you had claimed as your own so long ago might not even exist anymore, but you just had to see. Every summer when you’d come to stay with your grandparents, you’d spend hours upon hours in the woods exploring. The plentiful greenery served to be your escape from reality. You imagined colonies of fairies and hollows of trolls, eternal life springs, and animated Ents. At the center of it all had been the one and only imaginary friend in your childhood; a man named Dark.
As you got older you realized there had to be some psychological reason you had imagined a distinguished eldritch being in the forest named Dark as your friend for many years but you never did figure out the reasoning.
“To be fair, my childhood wasn’t that great,” you muttered to yourself.
While contemplating the psychological impact a rough childhood might have on one’s psyche and emotional growth, you continued on the long-familiar path, somehow traipsing carefully around every root and limb with precise muscle memory that shouldn’t even exist.
“Well, well, what do we have here? Little Mx. Red has come to see me again after all this time?”
The sudden deep voice nearly sent you careening to the side out of pure shock and terror. Your eyes swept from the forest floor to the clearing you hadn’t even yet noticed in front of you. And there he sat, the perfectly imperfect being of your dreams, in the same delicately grown throne of vines and limbs that you remembered from so long ago. Just as stunning as the first day you’d seen him.
“Dark?” you asked warily.
A sly smirk parted his lips as he tipped his head your way.
“Mx. Red.”
As your brain fought your tongue to find some semblance of words, your eyes danced over him and soaked in every visible inch. You didn’t quite remember him being so… attractive. Then again, you were a child the last time you had seen him. With his pristine white suit and contrasting black shirt, he painted a portrait of class, but his unshaven face and messy black locks gave off the exact opposite vibe. It would almost be funny how human he looked if it weren’t for the fact you were utterly transfixed. When he suddenly lifted a wine glass to his lips and took a sip, it broke whatever spell you had been under.
“Wait, you remember me?” you finally asked in return.
“I remember everyone that I promise to save.”
A little bout of excitement and embarrassment wriggled through your gut uncomfortably as you thought back on everything you ever told him. So many secrets. Blown way out of proportion thanks to a child’s view on life.
“Yeah, about that. I thought some stupid stuff as a kid. I wasn’t really being treated as badly as it seemed, at least not as bad-”
At an inhuman speed, the eldritch being leaped from his throne and came to stand mere inches from you, interrupting your train of thought and forcing silence to blossom in the slight space between your bodies.
“Don’t. Do not compare your plights to others. Their pain does not lessen yours,” he demanded roughly, “Alas, you seem to have forgotten that I was able to see into your head and verify your fears.”
With the touch of his fingers to your temple, suddenly you were transported back a decade: Tiny little you standing face to face with the kneeling man whose face was screwed up in concern. The strange little twirl of magic that danced along your skin and billowed your hair around you. The exhilarating excitement of being allowed tea parties with playful imps and fairies. The twisting feeling of defeat when you’d have to leave at the end of each summer.
Your legs went weak beneath you and your stomach felt like it was dropped miles below as you were suddenly back in your adult body. You braced for impact with eyes shut tight only to be yanked into the firm planes of another’s body. Through process of elimination, your mind brilliantly deduced that the only person who could be holding you was Dark and immediately your face began to burn hot. You jerked away quickly and he relinquished his hold with grace but kept a steadying hand on your shoulder.
“My apologies,” he spoke softly, “Are you okay now?”
A little nod was all you could manage in return but that seemed enough to soothe his worries.
“It seems that it’s been long enough since I’ve looked into your mind that your body has built up a resistance.”
“That’s… interesting?” you murmured uncertainly, “It might also be the shock of discovering that you’re actually real and not a figment of my imagination.”
He watched as you shoved your hands into your pockets nervously but didn’t say anything in return. The weight of his eyes was heavy and built the intensity brewing in your belly to a boil. So many conflicting emotions were assaulting your mind and body that you physically couldn’t handle much more than staring back at him just the same. And at the same time, everything was suddenly serene, down to the muffled humming of the forest creatures around you.
You weren’t sure how long it had been before the first chirping ring of your phone went off but suddenly you were alerted to the fact that you were standing much closer than you had been originally, a trembling hand halfway up to his face. Said hand instantly shot into your jacket pocket and brought your cell to your face.
“Uhm, h-hello?” you answered meekly.
“Dinner’s almost done. You coming back soon?” your grandma asked, the sound of a pot lid banging in the background.
“Sure thing. Be there in a few,” you replied.
When you looked back up at Dark after shoving your phone away, you were surprised to find him with a little smile on his face.
“Go. I will be here when you return. I’m always here,” he coaxed.
You licked your lips nervously before giving him and slight nod and saying, “I’ll be back in the morning. We have a lot of catching up to do.”

That awful CBR Kataang article
I don’t normally do metas but this was so bad I had to respond. I think I actually had a stroke reading it
1. She shouldn’t teach him waterbending
At the beginning of the series, Katara was a waterbending novice, barely capable of maintaining a feeble orb of water in midair. As she traveled with Aang, they grew as waterbenders simultaneously, each growing through their journey to the north pole where they were taught by the same teacher.
After that, Katara assumed the duty of Aang’s waterbending tutor, which doesn’t really make sense considering that they should both be at the same approximate place in their training. In fact, Aang was shown to be more naturally adept at waterbending and capable of picking up the techniques easier.
So, like, did you completely miss the episode where Katara is shown to have advanced more than Pakku’s other students who have been training for months or maybe even years at this point? Yeah it’s a little weird considering that she’s only been there about a month, but Katara is just really, REALLY good at waterbending once she had a proper teacher. And yes Aang did pick it up really quickly but we also see in said episode he was lounging around playing with Momo rather than practicing, unlike Katara who it seemed like practiced hours each day.
2. They did their best work separated
Both Aang and Katara were intensely powerful benders who accomplished many amazing feats through their powers. However, it’s interesting to note that their most formidable feats were accomplished by themselves and separate from one another. Katara learned her most powerful techniques, bloodbending and water healing, completely without Aang’s aide. And the amount of incredible things Aang accomplished without her are immeasurable.
For starters, he was able to embody the spirit of the ocean, beat Fire Lord Ozai, and impressed the last dragons. In fact, he had to intentionally abandon her to attain his highest form and gain control of the Avatar State, pretty much definitively proving that they are more powerful when separated.
....What does this have to do with anything. Like, seriously, anything. Should they not be amazing, powerful benders unless the other is there to help them?? I genuinely don’t understand the point you’re trying to make here. Also do you not know how the Avatar state works?
3. The Cave of Two Lovers
One of the defining moments in Aang and Katara’s romance was the episode “The Cave of Two Lovers.” In it, Aang and Katara are separated from everyone else in a system of caves on the way to the city of Omashu.
The romantic nature of the story inspires Aang to hint his true feelings to Katara and, after some rom-com levels of shenaniganry, the two almost kiss for the first time as their light goes out. Without the light, however, the pathway of glowing crystals becomes clear and the two are able to escape. The episode is generally never brought up, both in discussion and the show’s lore, because it is, for lack of a better word, cringy.
Great argument, just explain what happened in the episode and then don’t explain why it’s bad or weird
4. Political Disagreements
Their biggest obstacle came in the comics, where they came within moments of splitting up over political disagreements. Specifically, their fight was over the Harmony Restoration Movement, which attempted to remove Fire Nation colonies following the end of the war. After Zuko had a change of heart and wanted to keep the older colonies in place, Katara agreed with him.
Aang was initially of the mind that all Fire Nation presence in the Earth Kingdom needed to be removed to ensure peace. Their conflict came to the point of violence when Katara had to talk Aang down from the Avatar State to prevent him from ending Zuko.
Again you just explained what happened and not why it was bad
5. Aang’s grandkids are better without him
There’s clear evidence that Aang and Katara weren’t the best parents, as evidenced by the emotional and psychological hang-ups of their kids, but the most telling proof that they weren’t fit to raise kids is how their grandkids turned out. Given that Aang never met them, Tenzin’s kids were never directly influenced by their grandfather and they were all nearly ideal children. Sure Ikki and Meelo are hyperactive, but they’re kids and are shown to mature somewhat with age while retaining their energetic personalities.
Free from Aang’s influence, Jinora even becomes a more powerful spiritual advisor than her father, who was so burdened with Aang’s pressure that he was never able to fully embrace his spiritual side.
Um, WHAT? Are you freaking serious right now? Of course we gotta go with the dumb “Aang was a bad dad” argument, AGAIN, which obviously was blown way outta proportion. But I can’t believe you’d actually say that they are better off not knowing him
6. They both have PTSD
While to romance between Aang and Katara is often framed as being between two kindred souls who knew from childhood that they were meant to be together, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Even from the first moments they met each other, both exhibited acute symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.
Katara’s maternal instincts are likely derived from witnessing her mother’s demise and the prospect of vengeance. Aang had a tendency to misdirect, project, and avoid his issues over abandoning his culture and being lost in time. He also demonstrated a consistent lack in ability to process his anger, often snapping and yelling at his comrades over his perception of their failures.
ONCE AGAIN. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING. Also, are you literally implying that PTSD victims shouldn’t be in a relationship? ok
7. Aang kept her from seeing her dad
In one of the most despised episodes of the entire series, “Bato of the Water Tribe,” also featured a moment that probably should have destroyed Katara and Aang’s relationship. In the episode, Aang intercepts a letter that would provide Katara and her brother information on where their father, who they haven’t seen for three years, might be stationed and give them a chance to see him. Worried that they might abandon him, however, Aang hides the letter from them.
Katara’s father was at war and could have died at any time. If Aang had prevented the water tribe siblings from seeing their father, there’s no guarantee that they would have ever seen him again.
This is as close to a legitimate point as this article gets. But I guess they’re forgetting how Aang felt guilty about it and how neither Katara nor Sokka took it lightly and it took a while for them to forgive him.
8. They gave their kids inadequacy issues
If there’s one thing that could be gleaned from the Legend of Korra spin-off series, it’s that Aang and Katara weren’t the best parents. The oldest, Bumi, was born a non-bender and even in what appear to be his mid-50s, and after an illustrious military career, was still dealing with the inadequacy issues imparted by his father who always wanted an airbending child.
His sister Kya was so affected by her parents’ pressures that she spent several years traveling the world by herself before being forced to return to the south pole to take care of her co-dependent mother. Tenzin, the only airbending child was denied a childhood by his father hoisting the burden of an entire culture on his young shoulders.
Nothing in the show implies Kya was forced to come back and live with Katara. Katara was an elderly woman, devastated by the loss of her husband of 50+ years. My grandpa died many years ago, and if we hadn’t already lived in the same town as them, my family would’ve definitely moved up there to be with my grandma who was all alone. Taking care of your family is bad, I guess.
9. Their relationship got worse in the comics
The romance between Katara and Aang was a slow build on the show, developing infrequently from beginning to end. After the show ended, the generally laudable comic series took over the narrative and fumbled their relationship worse than a clumsy wide receiver. After affirming their relationship, the series depended entirely on an unfair dynamic between the two.
Katara was jealous of Aang constantly flirting with other girls closer to his own age, Aang bragged about being able to kiss her to everyone who would listen, and neither could think of a better pet name than “sweetie.” Overall, their romance just sort of went on automatic in the comics.
Show me ONE TIME where Aang flirted with other girls. Being friends with other girls is not flirting with them. Aang only mentioned being able to kiss her ONCE, and it wasn’t in front of close friends. He didn’t freaking go out in the middle of a crowd and go “HEY EVERYONE LOOK I CAN KISS KATARA”
10. Their kiss at the end was weird
The only time when Katara and Aang’s romantic relationship really picked up steam was in the final season of the show, culminating in the final scene of the original series where the two finally share a reciprocated kiss. As romantic as the tone was, it was offset somewhat by the atmosphere between the two leading up to that moment.
Mere episodes earlier, with the looming threat of genocide, death, and continued global war hanging ever-present over their heads, Katara was still uncertain and upset over Aang’s advances and made that abundantly clear to him.
Whoa, Katara took time to think about her feelings before jumping into a relationship?? Wow, how stupid of her.
11. They worked better as friends
The Kataang relationship was present throughout much of the series, but was only addressed and developed a few times at sporadic intervals. For the vast majority of the series, their relationship was one of matriarch and dependent. Aang needed Katara to keep him humble and focused while Katara’s motherly nature made her want to keep Aang safe.
Put bluntly, they were friends and their relationship worked well in that regard. But whenever romance was forcibly inserted into the equation, Katara began questioning how she felt about Aang and stated openly that she was uncomfortable with his affections. I.E. red flags that they probably should just stay friends.
Man, how dare Katara and Aang have a solid friendship before being romantically involved!!!!!!! You’re not supposed to be FRIENDS with your significant other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. The age difference
Though Aang is technically over 100 years old, he’s biologically only 12. And though Katara herself is only 14 at the start of the series, the gulf between a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old is far greater than that between a 30-year-old and 32-year-old.
Despite having moments of genuine sage wisdom, Aang’s everyday behavior is more on par with an 8-year-old than anyone in his actual age bracket. This might not be his fault as his isolated, holistic upbringing instilled in him a strong sense of detachment, which might have prompted some of his more selfish actions, but even the most mature 12-year-old should not be making out with someone two years older.
I am forever baffled by y’all thinking that someone with a fun-loving, carefree personality is childish. When you get to a certain age are you supposed to stop having fun?? Stop telling jokes??? What a miserable life that would be
13. It was a one-sided relationship
When Aang was freed from the iceberg he’d been trapped in for the past hundred years, his first instinct was to fall head over heels in love with Katara. However, she didn’t see things the same way for quite some time. In fact, during the entire series, their romance was viewed through Aang’s lens with little to no input from Katara’s opinions on the matter.
In fact, she made it obliquely clear from the beginning of the series that she saw Aang more as a little brother or pseudo-child rather than a potential love interest, a view that didn’t change until very late. And even then, she was more embarrassed and confused by Aang’s affections than reciprocal.
Yeah, because relationships in real life are always 100% mutual from the beginning, and one person is never interested before the other is. That NEVER happens.
14. Their romance was unnecessary
While they were one of the primary pairs of the show, Katara and Aang’s relationship was only focused on in a handful of episodes in the original show’s three-season run. And those episodes tended to be considered weaker or filler between more significant arcs. Overall, their ship was not integral to the narrative of the show, both figuratively and thematically. You could remove all the Kataang content from the show and it wouldn’t change anything.
It wouldn’t even effect the series’ general quality, only improve it slightly. This might have been an issue in the writing staff as central breeding pairs are a trope in most shows, animated or otherwise. But just because stereotypes exist doesn’t mean they have a purpose or need to be used.
This was a show about magic, martial arts, and war. All the romance on the show was technically unnecessary. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have happened.
15. Zuko would’ve been a better match for her
The main rival of the Kataang ship is the Zutara vessel, the faction of viewers who believed that Katara would be better off with the series anti-hero Zuko. And they’re probably right. Zuko and Katara have expressed an interest in each other before, launching their ship in the first place, but it’s more because Zuko is more mature and, for lack of a better word, attractive than the alternative.
There’s also the pretty significant matter that they both have similar emotional baggage. Katara has issues with her father abandoning her for the war, Zuko has problems with his father being a dictatorial jerk, and they both lost their mothers at a young age due to the intricacies of politics and conflict.
*eye roll* “Zuko and Katara have expressed interest in each other before” Where? Show me where.
Ok so before you said that one of the reasons Kataang doesn’t work is because they both have PTSD. Buuuuut Katara and Zuko having PTSD is a reason..they should’ve been together? And full offense, but Katara having hard feelings towards her dad for a short time in one episode that was resolved quickly is in no way equal to Zuko experiencing lifelong physical and emotional abuse by his father. I’m actually really angry and kind of offended you would even think this was a reasonable comparison.
16. Their personalities never changed
One of the most important aspects of fictional characters is how they change. Round characters are indefinitely more interesting than flat, one-note characters. And while Aang and Katara are in no way flat characters, they didn’t change much within the confines of their relationship. That is to say, while their presence in each other’s lives changed the others’ personalities, they did not change all too much to each other after their childhood.
As seen in Legend of Korra, Katara is just as maternal and wise as she was in her youth. Korra’s brief flashbacks to Aang’s life demonstrated that he grew somewhat more serious as he aged, but was still immature enough to pose for pictures of him doing his marble trick.
fklafj;afjea;fef; if AANG MAKING A FUNNY POSE FOR A PICTURE IS IMMATURE. god i’m just. i am so done with this article.
17. Aang decided how many kids they had
One of the biggest decisions a long-term couple can make together is if they want to have children. It’s a choice that, if made in the affirmative, can never be taken back, and if they do decide to have kids, they both need to determine how many kids they want or can afford to have.
While Katara never said anything on the subject, their kids were more than happy to discuss how Aang was insistent on having children until at least one of them developed airbending so he had a surefire way to pass on his near-extinct culture. Presumably Katara was more than happy to have three kids with Aang, but if Tenzin had turned out to be a water- or non-bender, he would have demanded that she continue.
LITERALLY WHAT SHOW ARE YOU WATCHING HERE, MY DUDE. Where was this EVER said or even implied. Might I point out in Legacy where Aang literally says that he and Katara were open to the idea of having more kids after Tenzin
18. She lived without him for 20 years
t’s stated in Legend of Korra that Aang died when he was 66. Given that Katara is approximately two years older than him, that means she was about 68 when he passed. By the end of the spin-off series, Katara was 89, according to the official wiki.
That means that she had around 20 years to live, grow, and evolve as a person without Aang around. In all likelihood, if Aang had somehow returned to her after all that time, he might not even recognize Katara as the same woman he fell in love with. As far as the series is willing to tell, Katara’s only company after Aang’s death was her daughter, the Order of the White Lotus, Korra, and infrequent visits from her other children.
Wow, how dare Aang DIE and leave Katara all alone. What a jerk!!!!!!!! I guess my grandpa is a jerk for dying and leaving my grandma all alone, too! Men SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19. She had a crush on Jet first
Kataang shippers tend to consider the start of the relationship to be the moment Aang saw Katara. He looked at her through rose colored glasses the moment she broke him out of the iceberg, framing her in light and a romantic breeze. It took Katara a little while to come around to having feelings for him, but she had a few different non-starter relationships along the way.
The first, and by far most impassioned of these, was with the freedom fighter Jet, who she met all the way back in the first season. Her crush was apparent and strong enough that she was disproportionately upset when she saw him several months later. She may have wound up with Aang, but she clearly had stronger initial feelings for Jet.
Wow because nobody in real life ever has multiple relationships throughout their lifetime or crushes on other people before meeting their significant other. And yeah, Katara totally shouldn’t have been upset to see the guy who tried to wipe out an entire innocent village unless she was madly in love with him
20. The (older) age difference
Despite only looking like a pre-teen, Aang is actually over 100 years old. He was born and raised before the start of the 100-year war at the Southern Air Temple. Upon learning he was the reincarnated Avatar, Aang was surprised. He and Appa were caught in a ferocious storm that sent them below the waves.
In a moment of self-preservation, his Avatar state activated for the first time and he bent himself into a frozen iceberg, which preserved him as he waited for a century beneath the seas near the Southern Water Tribe. The series is riddled with Aang’s hang-ups about his long-dead culture. It often causes rifts between himself and the other characters.
What does this have to do with their age difference or Kataang at all

Cruel Brothers // Kim Yugyeom
Pairing: Yugyeom x Reader (feat. Jaebum and Jackson)
Genre: Fluff, comedy, a little angst, some mentions of smut
Summary/Request: Jackson and Jaebum have always acted as if they were your big, overprotective brothers. So when they both walk in on you and Yugyeom in a very intimate position, things get a little tense!
*gif by datyugyummy*
You sat a few inches away from Yugyeom on the couch, feeling your entire face burning hotter than a mid-summers day with two pairs of eyes glaring down at you both. The pairs of eyes in question just so happened to belong to Jaebum and Jackson; as they both stood with stern faces and crossed arms in response to walking in on you and Yugyeom in a rather intimate, but utterly innocent position.
“I thought you’d be more responsible than this, Yugyeom” Jaebum’s formidable voice filled the living room of GOT7’s dorm.
“I understand you’re both dating, but don’t you think you guys are going a bit too fast?” Jackson added, placing his hand on his hip as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. You wanted to pipe up and add your two cents to the discussion that was unfolding, but you knew that anything you said would be of no use at all. Jackson and Jaebum were the two older brothers that you never had – overprotective older brothers who saw you as their baby sister; and they intended to keep you in that box for as long as possible.
“I know how it must have looked…” Yugyeom’s voice cracked slightly as he raised his eyes – only to avert them back to the floor once they came into contact with Jaebum’s. “But honestly, we weren’t doing anything! We…we were –“
“We were just watching a movie and then we started play-fighting and tickling each other, and –“ you spoke over him to support his line of defence, but Jackson had no intentions of hearing either of you out just yet.
“So play-fighting and tickling involves you sitting on Yugyeom’s lap with your legs wrapped around his waist? Come on (Y/N)…do you think we’re stupid?” he chuckled, tilting his head in a rather sarcastic manner as if he didn’t believe a word that came out of your mouth.
“Not to mention how it sounded when we both walked in, too” Jaebum added, remembering how – when he first opened the door to enter the dorm, he had heard your delightful voice sounding a few tones higher than usual; leading both him and Jackson to suspect that a little more than innocent cuddling was going on. You gave Jaebum a flat, defeated look as you quickly began to lose your patience, but before you could speak – Yugyeom tried once more.
“I’m sorry that it came off like that, but even if we were to do something like that, do you not think we would do it somewhere more private?”
“…Yugyeom…you’re making this worse!” you internally groaned.
“Oh! So, it’s something you’ve successfully done before?!” Jackson raised his eyebrows as he lowered his head towards Yugyeom, while Jaebum stood completely gobsmacked at the boldness of his younger friend.
“No! What I meant was –“
“Stop!” you shouted over the three of them, causing each boy to flick their eyes in your direction as you straightened yourself up to confront Jaebum and Jackson directly.
“Look, I know that you two have my best interests at heart – and you both know that I love you guys to death…but don’t you think you’re being a bit unreasonable? You walked in on something that looked suspicious and we’re both sorry for that, but can’t you just believe me when I say that…that nothing like that has even happened yet?”
In immediate response to your words, Yugyeom’s cheeks burned even hotter than before at you disclosing such information to his group members – basically telling them that, no; you and Yugyeom had not yet gone that far in your relationship together. Although it had only been a little shy of two months, you both had yet to move past kissing and the occasional heated, heavy petting and groping phase of intimacy. Yugyeom knew that you wanted to take things slowly, and he respected you for it.
Jaebum and Jackson passed brief side-glances between each other, taken aback by your sudden outburst. “You guys know this is my first real relationship, and so does Yugyeom. I told him that I didn’t wanna do any of that stuff just yet and he respects that. Doesn’t that speak for itself?” you widened your eyes, almost pleading with them and hoping that they’d be able to at least understand that they had blown the entire situation out of proportion.
“She’s telling the truth.” Yugyeom looked up at his older members, suddenly feeling more confident as he swallowed the lump in his throat. “I…I love (Y/N) and I have no intentions of making her rush into things,” his words took you aback, as you and Yugyeom had yet to drop the ‘love’ word to each other. “We were just playing and –“
“Ah yes, but playing can lead to pregnancy!” Jackson replied with a deadly serious tone.
“And spooning always leading to forking…trust me, I know” Jaebum added – trying his best to keep a straight face after landing his terrible dad-joke; but thanks to Jackson bursting out in laughter, neither of them were able to keep it up any longer. You and Yugyeom sat with confused, bewildered faces at the sight of Jaebum and Jackson almost wetting themselves as they doubled over in laughter.
“It was just a joke! Damn, you should see your faces!” Jackson squealed as he and Jaebum both proceeded to bounce down beside you and Yugyeom on the sofa; Jaebum holding Yugyeom in a headlock and ruffling his hair while Jackson proceeded to trap you in a rather large bear hug – all while you quickly figured out that neither of them were being serious the entire time. Yugyeom whined in humiliation as he tried to wriggle free of Jaebum’s grasp, while you began trying to swat Jackson away; both you and Yugyeom feeling terribly mortified as you seriously thought they were angry at the two of you.
“Ahhh Yugyeom, you’re too easy to fool. Some things never change!” Jaebum giggled as he released Yugyeom’s head from the underside of his arm.
“(Y/N) – you’re usually such a sly fox! I thought for sure that you’d pick up on our plan!” Jackson let you go to see a scowl on your face as you shimmied up closer to Yugyeom.
“You both looked so serious! I thought for sure you were gonna be like ‘You’re not allowed to see each other’ or something…I seriously hate you guys!” you shouted as you threw a nearby cushion at Jaebum while he and Jackson both stood up; before you all began cackling as Yugyeom breathed a rather large sigh of relief.
“Aw come on, we’re mean to you both but we’re not that mean” Jaebum replied as he threw the cushion back at you. “We saw what you were both doing and we decided it would be funny to give you guys a hard time” Jaebum bit his lip as he smiled, making you roll your eyes as all Yugyeom could do at that point was to continuously whine in defeat.
“You guys always do this to me! Why am I always the brunt of your jokes?!” he slapped his thighs in playful annoyance, before Jaebum and Jackson walked over to him and began pinching his cheeks – further adding insult to his injury.
“Because you’re so cute when you’re all annoyed and wound up! Isn’t he, (Y/N)?” Jackson looked to you, to whom you scoffed – but really, you couldn’t deny how cute and adorable Yugyeom was when he was all worked up and bothered. You knew that Yugyeom would always be submitted to a life-time of pranks as he was the youngest of all the boys; and seeing as you were his other half, you should have known that you would have to share his torment sooner or later.
“No but seriously, we’re glad you’re both taking things slowly. It’s really mature of you both, and I’m proud of you” Jaebum patted your head as he walked past, heading in the direction of his room. “I’ll see you guys later~” he called out – slipping into his room to spend some quality time with his three cats whom he knew missed him terribly.
“Awww and Yugyeom said he loved you (Y/N)~ Such a tender hearted boy!” Jackson gave Yugyeom one final pinch to his cheek before he also began trotting down the hall towards his own bedroom. “Are you staying for dinner, (Y/N)?”
You looked to Yugyeom, watching him nod eagerly at you, before you replied, “Yeah, I am!” back to Jackson.
“Ahhhhh” Yugyeom let out a long, disgruntled sigh as he pulled you close to him – his arm around your waist as he buried his face into your neck. “I’m sorry about all of this…” he groaned against your skin – making you smile as you took in the usual scent of the familiar cologne he always wore.
“Don’t be sorry…it was pretty funny, now that I think about it” you replied in a quiet voice as you snaked your arms over his shoulders, feeling that warm, fuzzy sensation Yugyeom always managed to give you whenever he hugged you like this.
“…I love you too, by the way” you whispered, remembering how Yugyeom had unashamedly declared his feelings for you in front of his friends not too long ago – the memory being enough to make your heart skip several beats as you felt him hold you tighter. You could feel his lips forming into one of his big, goofy smiles against your skin as he gave you a small kiss to your neck, before raising his head to let you see how hot his cheeks were burning.
“Really?” he asked, rubbing his nose against yours that gave your stomach an infinite amount of butterflies.
“Really~” you replied back simply. You knew that Jaebum and Jackson would always be keeping a watchful eye over you both – despite their cruel joking manner a mere moment ago; but you knew that nothing would ever stop you from being with Yugyeom no matter the situation. Furthermore, you knew that sometime in the near future you would be ready to take your relationship with Yugyeom to the next step; and when that time came, you knew that it definitely would be well out of eye and ear-shot of your two cruel, overprotective brothers…as did Yugyeom, in turn.
