#29: Never Seen Your Face Like That (S5E12)

I love that Rick and Michonne low-key tell on themselves in this scene lol. I can’t help but smile and laugh when watching this exchange cuz the attraction between them is BLATANT. Let me tell you, these two find each other hot and it’s clear as day lol. And it’s cute seeing them both try to be casual with it but not being able to resist reacting to each other with obvious attraction. Their pre-canon era was a time. 😋 It’s like this dance to keep things appearing 'platonic,' when they’re clearly feeling so much more...

At the start of the scene we see all of tf in this quiet moment, and then we hear Michonne’s satisfied sigh as she joins her family with a refreshed smile. Interestingly, she does not seem to be getting red flags about ASZ, whereas others are more on edge - which is understandable for them but also goes to show why Michonne’s gut instinct can always be trusted.

She asks how long she was in there for - and it seems rhetorical, but my sweet man Rick is going to tell on himself by giving an exact answer lol. I love that he’s the one to respond and that he doesn’t just say “a while” or a general answer. No - this man says “20 minutes.” She’s on his radar always. And it’s cute that this scene between them starts with talk of toothbrushes because we know how much "dental hygiene" will bless us in season 6. 😏

Michonne says she couldn’t stop brushing as Rick walks into frame, which I’ve always found cute cuz he knows this is the big reveal where she gets to see his clean-shaven face for the first time, especially after her whole “your face is losing the war” comments from s4.

I love that Sis literally has to pause as she notices his face. Who can blame her? And I always really appreciate that Rick actually let’s the moment breathe for a sec as she takes in his new look. We see later how he reacts when Deanna notices his face and says 'wow.' He’s much more dismissive or not wanting that attention on him - but with Michonne, he seems in a bashful way to really want her to see him and to like what she sees as he positions himself in better lighting with a slight smile.

And Michonne most definitely likes what she sees. Y’all, the way she is looking at him - He’s fine fine to her.  Like I've said before, from both of them, even during their best friends phase it was always giving 'that’s my hot best friend,' make no mistake. 

Michonne says this 'huh' that almost seems to slip out before her mind can filter, and that 'huh' suggests she certainly has some positive thoughts on Rick's new look.

I will forever love the way Danai delivers the line, “I’ve never, I’ve never seen your face like that.” It has that dash of smitten flirtiness that is just so adorable. And Michonne’s smile. 😊 The best. Her face says it all. It makes it loud and clear that she likes his new look a lot, and I love that she also vocally reacts to it.

Even just the pause between saying she’s never, she’s never seen his face like that. He got her a little flustered, and I’m here for it. No one but Rick Grimes is getting Michonne, queen of composure, smitten like this. 😋

And then Rick says how he felt the same way before and after as he walks in her direction and I think tries to idk play off all the attraction that’s being emitted from the two of them, but like it can’t ever be denied or downplayed.

(Side note: I know some of tf had to be up in this living room seeing Rick and Michonne reacting to each other like this and thinking...

And I just like that it’s clear what Michonne thinks of his face matters to him. Everything about her and what she thinks matters to Rick, as not just his bestie but as something more too. 

(Also, tell me it's not just me who will see pre-canon scenes like this one and just stop to take a moment to marvel at the fact that these two went on to have a baby together. It never fails to bring me joy. 🤗)

And what Rick thinks also matters to Michonne, cuz she stops him and tells him she gets why they’re playing it safe and “we should,” which lets you know that no matter how much she wants this place to work, she’s with Rick first and foremost. But she has a good feeling about this place, because Michonne is always right. And considering this place will be where she and him finally have room to build a home, rediscover their humanity, enjoy their romance, and expand their family - she was definitely right to have a good feeling about this place. 👌🏽

Rick responds saying he hopes Michonne is right, which again cements how a huge reason all of them are even at ASZ is because Rick wanted to give Michonne’s way a chance. He’s still in many ways going off of her gut over his own, and I love that he trusts her that much to do that and wants her to be right. That’s a special influence reserved just for her. And Michonne responds "yeah, me too" cuz she also knows how it was her push to go here that led them here.

Watching this whole scene back - this is such a couple-y moment between them. If you would have told me this was post-canon I’d believe you because this whole scene was giving couple.  Like every second was saying...

The Deanna moment comes directly after this scene between Rick and Michonne and it’s this immediate contrast between how Rick reacts to Michonne noticing his face and the groan he gives Deanna when she notices.

I also like that Deanna drops her first hint that she’s a Richonner when she tells Rick she’s given him a job she just hasn’t told him yet, “same with Michonne.” As I've said before, I’ll always love how Deanna, renowned for getting a good read on people, immediately saw the similarities and partnership of Rick and Michonne and paired them together in the same job. She knew they go together. (Also the scene ends with Deanna telling Rick he looks good, which again is another sign she has good judgment lol. 💁🏽‍♀️)

I love how often Richonne would have these Richonne bubble moments in front of all tf in s5. Like it occurs quite a bit cuz they can’t help it. And this is one of those pre-canon scenes where you just know these two are destined to become a couple. Because Rick and Michonne love and trust each other, but also really want and desire each other too. 😌

"You're not even my favorite sibling, really."

(John Seed x Deputy Gn!Reader)

It's here, besties. My hiatus is (somewhat) over, and I'm proud to present this baby. It's a bit of a short one, but there will definitely be more John in the future cuz I am a whore for that man and I had fun writing for him. Anyways, I hope ya'll enjoy 😌

Summary: You're trapped in John's bunker again, and rather than exposing one of your sins, you discover his instead.

Word Count: 1k

Warnings/other info: swearing, kidnapping, slight use of knives, John being a little shit, reader is gender nuetral

You’d been here before.

This dark room, in the same chair. Your fingers flexed, wrists uncomfortably rubbing against the duct tape wrapped around them, and you took a deep breath. John’s bunker, a place you had become very familiar with in the past couple of weeks. It smelled faintly of John’s cologne, and you couldn’t decipher if it was because he’d been down here so much that his smell became a permanent part of the room, or if it was because he’d been near you recently. Probably a combination of both.

You heard a metal door squeak open and footsteps soon after, each footfall growing closer until they stopped directly behind you. It was so quiet, you were sure he could hear your thundering heartbeat, and you had to hold in a gasp when you felt his fingers sweep over the back of your neck, a shudder rolling through you that you hoped he didn’t catch.

“Deputy.”

You let out a breath through your nose, shoulders relaxing, and you didn’t bother to look back at him as you let your lips twitch up into a smirk. “John.”

His fingers moved, hand settling at the base of your neck and digits curling around it, and he gave the sides of your neck an experimental squeeze.

“You don’t seem surprised to be here. I was expecting a little more resistance from you.”

You scoffed. “I’m sorry to disappoint. What is this, the third time you’ve kidnapped me? If you wanna surprise me, maybe try something a little different next time.”

“Oh?” He stepped around the chair and crouched in front of you, and you finally made eye contact with his crystal blue eyes as he looked up at you with a grin. “And what would you suggest I do?”

“Well, if you’re accepting requests,” you leaned forward in your seat, close enough that you could feel his breath on your face, “maybe instead of using your snipers and little bliss bullets, you can come out and face me yourself. Take me down like a man.”

His jaw visibly clenched, and he stood to his full height as you leaned back in the chair. It was always the same song and dance with him. You’d destroy his property, he’d taunt you over the radio, he’d have you kidnapped, and then you would escape. The cycle repeated over and over, and at this point, you thought it was becoming a lame tactic to actually see you. Like these little “visits” you had were the highlight of his week. You couldn’t lie, it was fun. Messing with him, taunting him. You hated to admit that you enjoyed getting a rise out of him, that some sick little part of you craved his attention. But you weren’t the only one. You swore that if you weren’t out destroying his shit and making his life hell, he’d probably be bored out of his mind.

But you had a feeling this was the last straw. You’d just destroyed his monstrous “YES” sign, leaving it as nothing but a pile of debris, and it was safe to say he was not happy with the situation. He could practically see your smile when he heard you talk through the radio afterward, fingers clenching tightly around his walkie until he thought he might just break it. That’s when he knew he had to have you back in his chair. He had to see you begging, pleading. He had to hear you say yes.

Grabbing a knife from the table, John rolled up a chair and sat down a couple of feet away in front of you. He then crossed one leg over the other, tapping the knife against his chin as his eyes meticulously swept over your form. He didn’t utter a word, and you wondered if he was contemplating how he wanted to mark you, how he wanted your sin to stand out on your skin for everyone to see. Reaching across the distance separating you, he grabbed the bottom of your chair and yanked you forward, the action so sudden that you let out a short gasp as your knees knocked against his.

“There. That’s better, isn’t it?”

“Sure, I love being uncomfortably close to the enemy.”

“Enemy? I thought we were closer than that, Deputy,” John said, his free hand moving to grip your thigh.

“I don’t know. You’re not even my favorite sibling, really.”

He hummed, knife tapping against your other leg as his mouth formed a tight-lipped smile. “Who is then?”

Letting out a huff, you rolled your neck and let your head hand to the side, pursing your lips in thought. “Well, Faith is nice. And Jacob is kinda cute-” You felt his grip on your thigh tighten, and you shifted your gaze to him with a smirk. “Does that upset you?”

“What? That I’m not your favorite?”

“No, that I said Jacob was cute.”

John scoffed, letting the blade press a little harder into your leg until there was a hole in your jeans, but he stopped before it could cut you any. “Why would I give a shit about you whoring around with my brother?”

“I don’t know.” Your eyes narrowed, almost analyzing him as you watched the muscles in his jaw twitch and his fingers slightly flex around the knife. “But you do.”

Rolling his eyes, John stood from his chair and walked back over to the wooden table, leaning his hands against it, and you could see the muscles in his back shift as he decided to forgo his usual vest today. You knew he was upset. That you had wormed your way under his skin, but he hadn’t broken yet. Not like you wanted him to.

“You know, I’m not planning to go and fuck Jacob.” He glanced at you over his shoulder, and you smiled. “If I was gonna whore around with anyone, it would definitely be Joseph.”

He whirled around so fast your eyes could barely track him. Kicking the empty chair to the other side of the room, you heard it crash against the wall as his hand tightly gripped your jaw and forced your head up to look at him, rage swirling behind his blue eyes.

“Is that your sin, Deputy? Lust?”

“Maybe. But I know yours. Is envy already written on you, John? Or do we need to find an empty space to carve it into?”

A shuddered breath rolled through him, fingers digging into your cheeks painfully before he let out a humorless chuckle and let you go. You watched his movements closely as he took a step back and ran a hand through his hair, but then he muttered your name, and your heart stopped as your eyes widened. The sick bastard smiled when he noticed, and he said it over, and over, and over, until he was placing his hands against the armrests of your chair and leaning forward to get in your face, letting the syllables of your name roll over his tongue one last time.

“Oh. I will have fun tearing you apart, Deputy.”

It's 2007 and somehow, miraculously, Supernatural survives yet another rocky (?) season of mediocre ratings to come back for a third season, or at least, half season, but that season starts out with a real bang! Like, just a real solid trio of an opener for season three. It reminds me of all the things I love about SPN and also it reminds us of all the things that frustrate the hell out of me on SPN. So where did we leave things off?

First up, there’s Dean, who sold his soul to the devil in order to bring Sam back from the dead. Sam, you’ll remember, was part of some overly complicated ponzi scheme to find the perfect vessel to open a door - yep, open a door - and lost to Aldous Hodge who just straight up murders Sam in the season finale. So Dean get’s Sammy back, but in exchange, he’s only got one year left before he permanently moves down south. Oh! And even though they got Sam back and Sam kills Aldous Hodge (RIP pal), they neglected to keep the door from opening. The door to Hell, that is, and now they’ve allowed a shiz ton of demons out to freely roam the earth. Way to go, boys, you lost again! They are two for two on these season finales guys!

OH but they DO kill the Yellow Eyed Demon, so that’s a plus, but not before he plants the most perfect seed of doubt in Dean’s mind - “How do you know what you brought back is all Sammy?” Like, ugh, UGH, ugh!!!! What a way to drive the knife in deeper! What a way to make the heart of this show slowly start to crumble! C’est Magnifique!! *chef's kissy fingers*

So with all that emotional baggage weighing us down, how do we start season 3? How else - with a threesome of course! And also some technicolor grading, it’s wild guys.

Oh boy guys, let’s talk about this opener for a hot sec. I got into it a little bit last season, but as much as I love Dean, you HAVE to admit that that boy is gross. Just like...he’s a little gross. I’m also old enough now to see exactly how many red flags he’s raising through the last 45 episodes. Like, sorry Little Me, but he is not boyfriend material. Not to mention that all this debauchery is 1,000% him distracting himself from the consequences of his own actions, but we’ll get into that later.

Meanwhile, Sam is doing something constructive and trying to figure out how to reverse the curse and save Dean’s soul. And here we have the culmination of two seasons worth of character development - faced with the imminent demise of Dean Samuel Winchester, Sam tries to step up and take care of his brother for once in his life; Dean parties like it’s 1999. There were two things I thought of during this episode - 1) isn’t this not unlike the sort of behavior you see in suicidal people who have finally decided to take their own life? Which is just, like, further held up by the fact that Dean’s big monologue at the end literally has the line “Truth is I’m tired, Sam. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.” and like...dude, you are NOT ok! Why isn't??? ANYONE??? ADDRESSING THIS????? And 2) Dean is sharing a lot of similarities with the demons in this episode.

Because MEANwhile, there’s demons! So many demons! Specifically, the Seven Deadly Sins ones, but also, spoiler alert, Ruby, who is gettin’ reeeeealll into that ketchup.

All these baddies just really taking advantage of their time topside cuz Hell is, as they so artfully put it, it’s like Hell, so they’re just livin’ it up while they still can ~almost like foreshadowing or something~?!?!?

Real talk though, it being a real long time since I’ve watched this season, it’s these kinds of details that I’m impressed with this time around. There is so much character work that goes into this show and it’s something I definitely connected with the first time around, but not on conscious level. Now I can look at it through time and experience and articulate what I’m seeing, which makes this re-watch infinitely more enjoyable.

Episode 1 of this season continues what they started in season 2 and just keeps building out that Hunter Community. Like, there really is a whole Community out there that keeps in contact and works together and makes sure everyone’s up to date on the latest hot goss, and it all makes John Winchester come off like a real creepy splinter cell lone gunman type. And that in turn makes the Winchester sons look like total, unprofessional boneheads who managed to open a portal to Hell. “UGH Great Jorb Guys, but can we blame them? They’re John’s kids,” is a conversation between hunters that I am headcannoning, but also 100% support.

Honestly, I love the idea of the Winchesters being just these real, like, b-grade, Walmart Brand Hunters that other Hunters are just SO done with. We kind of see a little bit of that with Isaac and Tamara, but by the end of the episode, the Winchesters prove that they’re...better Hunters? I hope somewhere in the next 12 seasons I get an episode that is told from another Hunter’s POV who is legitimately better/more emotionally balanced than the Winchesters and the whole episode is them just, like, cleaning up a bunch of Winchester messes like, SONuvabitch, these two ASSholes. I think we see a fair amount of episodes from the POV of people who are less qualified than the Winchesters who end up being mentored by them, but I’d be stoked for them to run into just a group of people who hate them for totally legitimate, professional vs amature reasons.

Bobby does not count because Bobby signed up to be their Dad and so he agreed to take care of their messes when he took that job.

And then we get to “The Kids Are Alright” which showcases one of my fav changes for this season - BRIGHTLY! LIT! HIGH! SATURATION!!!! And of course, by fav, I mean, Most Hilarious.

I do walk a fine line on this one truth be told. Like, season 1 was definitely going for A Look. It’s super gritty and high contrasty and stylized. Now, I got what they were going for but I wasn’t always crazy about it, mostly because the quality on the DVD’s was terrible. Quick tip for everyone: in order to get 2+ hours worth of content on a DVD, you have to compress the final edit of the program to a pretty small bitrate. When we drop videos onto DVD’s at my work (it isn’t often, thank goodness), the discs themselves only hold, like, 2GB worth of content and that is NOT A LOT when it comes to video files. The more compressed a video file is, the less detail you’re gonna get in the visuals. Watching episodes on Netflix (where everything’s probably at a higher bitrate and therefore is a better quality visual), it’s not bad, but on my DVDs, the compression is so heavy that we get SUPER hot highlights and SUPER crunchy shadows - what a lot of people would called “crushed blacks” because you’ve lost all the detail in the shadows and you’re left with a grainy, noisy, black hole on the screen. Like I lost so much detail in the pilot episode guys, I could not make out this guy’s face.

A rough approximation of my DVD quality. Still recommend it over Netflix for the Accurate Soundtrack tho.

Season 2 SPN toned that Look down a lot, like, a lot a lot. Enough that you still got the general vibe they were going for but not enough that you couldn’t make out faces anymore. But through this whole process, the CW execs kept pushing for the show to look lighter, more colorful, less film noir more...well, CW. And in season 3 it finally happened!!!

I get what those execs were going for, but also, I feel like the colorists on these first few episodes just REALLY went wild out of spite. Lookit this shot from “Magnificent Seven” right before Envy causes some rando innocent bystander to beat a girl to death for her shoes -

GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN!!!! I WONDER WHICH SIN THIS GUY IS????

Then in “The Kids Are Alright” the birthday party looks like everything is coated in day-glow neon.

The Winchester Bros look like they just got back from 3 weeks in Aruba - LOOK at the saturation levels in these skin tones! LOOK AT THEM!!

My screencap ability aside, only in SPN can a cemetery at night have brighter lighting than a diner in the middle of the afternoon.

This is definitely a thing I will be tracking the rest of the season because I have a distinct memory of a future episode where the brothers have been magically gifted completely different lives where they were never Hunters, they know nothing of Hunting, and they’re completely normal until the end when everything gets snapped back and the episode literally changes colors. V. Excited to see just how saturated this season stays through the end.

But maybe more importantly in “The Kids Are Alright” we learn that Dean does NOT, in fact, have a son. Not that he would be a good father...well...maybe? I mean, this Dean, this season 3, definitely-suicidal, completely-reckless, can’t-keep-it-together Dean, is not good Dad material. Later seasons Dean? Probably fine? Earlier seasons Dean might ALSO be fine? And if he’d found out that Ben was his legitimate kid, it could have made a WORLD of difference, who knows. I know he ultimately does become father-like to Ben and that gives me a lot of feelings. But this Dean is not in a good place to take care of anyone, including himself and really, someone ought to do something about that.

I gotta say, this is an actual bummer. I can’t remember if, in the later seasons, they do any clarifying on this or not, but I am legitimately bummed that Ben is not Dean’s kid and that as far as we know, Dean has no natural children floating around out there with surly attitudes and soft hearts. Dean’s motivation from Day 1 has always been family and despite what comments he may make in early seasons, Dean’s secret desire is to have the wife and the kids and the dog and the white picket fence. And honestly, we’re only 3 seasons in and I just want Dean to have nice things!!

And then guys, we come to “Bad Day at Black Rock,” and I just...WHAT a masterpiece. I had almost NO memory of ever watching this episode before and I don't understand why. What a glorious masterpiece this episode is. Let’s make a list -

More Hunters™, who should be really annoying but were actually kinda charming in a Marx Brothers kind of way

Gordon’s in jail, where he belongs, but also is masterminding a coup against the Winchesters which is A+ spooky stuff

Slapstick comedy that I didn’t know I was missing from my life

Bela F*cking Talbot

Guys, I think this is my fav episode so far purely because I felt, while watching it, that the last 10 years of my life were not in vain and that I had in fact grown as a human person. I remembered hating Bela Talbot. Like, I DID. NOT. LIKE. HER. To the point that I questioned if her British accent was even real. It is, her mother is from the UK and she lived there for a time, but like, honestly, the audacity of Little Me.

This time around? Oh she’s defs my new fav. Just everything about her is like, A+, Great Job, Why-Did-We-Cancel-Her??? Like, oh yeah, probably because somewhere in here they try to shoehorn a romantic side plot with Dean. I don’t actually mind rioting over shoehorned romance, but also, if they’d let this play out for a season or two and then got the two of them to bone? I’m on board. I’m 100% on board.

Maybe it’s just that she is unapologetically out for herself, maybe it’s the fact that she is definitely a match for the Winchesters in a non-murdery way, probably it is both of those things. She's smart, she’s crooked, she has impeccable taste, she’s honestly a helluva lot of fun and I am so excited to see more of her and so BUMMED that she will not make it past this season.

Despite the fact that I absolutely adore all three of these episodes, they also bring up the problem that I was starting to see in season 2 - WHO is this show about? Isn’t it supposed to be about the Brothers as a whole? But the majority of these first three lean pretty heavily on Dean’s emotional arc. Granted, it makes sense. I mean, of COURSE Dean’s demon deal is gonna be the BIG thing in a season where he is literally staring down the barrel, but knowing that there’s a side plot about Is Sam Evil?? seems like...something we should really explore more? I believe it comes up in season 4, or at least, Sam’s demon-blood powers become a bigger deal in season 4, but I would have enjoyed seeing Sam have a more active stake in this season. I can see planting some weird new ticks being planted for Alive-Again Sam that just get weirder and darker and then a mid-season finale or a run up episode to the end of the season where Dean (finally) decides he needs to stop his demon deal because he needs to stick around so he can keep Sam from going completely off the rails. As much as I love Dean 5ever, I do think the show works best when the emotional weight of the season is distributed equally is all. And to be fair to the writers this season, there could have been a bigger plan for something like that but they ran out of time - their season was cut by about a third due to the Writer’s Strike.

Still, all in all, a solid opening to the third season. I want to say that these episodes feel like Classic SPN, but then I remember that this is season three out of fifteen. These ARE Classic SPN. Mostly self contained with enough emotional drama to remind us of the overarching plot. Maybe a little heavy on the emotional drama, but Dean’s only got a year to live and the show’s only got 16 episodes to resolve that crisis, so it’s fine.

@pearydobrik

Jin

—————————————

He was your best friend’s older brother.  He was always around, and you couldn’t help but think of him as a friend as well.  Every sleep over you’d had since you were young he was always hanging around, your friend would get annoyed and kick him out “No boys allowed” she’d always shout slamming her door on him while apologizing to you for him being so irritating.  You’d just shrug. You really hadn’t minded and didn’t see why she thought he was so bothersome.

As you got into highschool your friend grew out of her no boys allowed phase, especially when Jin would bring his attractive friend Namjoon around.  The roles had switched and now she was the one getting the door slammed in her face when she’d try to hangout with Jin and Namjoon during their sleepovers, unless you were there.

 For some reason if you were there Jin didn’t hesitate to allow the two of you in his room to hangout with him and his friend.  So obviously due to the massive crush your best friend had developed on Namjoon, you found yourself being invited to hangout more frequently than usual.  

Some nights she’d plan a sleepover with you the same night as Jin had one planned, and the four of you would sneak out of the house (Their parents were very heavy sleepers) You wouldn’t really get into trouble, just the thrill of sneaking out on it’s own was a rush for you.  

After about a year of this Namjoon had finally caved to the charms of your friend and during your late night escapades you and Jin would find yourselves alone.  Nothing had ever happened between the two of you, you’d just talk.  

He’d vent about current girl problems, and the fact that he hated knowing that his best friend was currently off with his sister.  He became one of your closest friends through these moments you started to frequently share.  

When he graduated highschool and you were still two years behind him, you didn’t see much of him anymore, he was off at college and busy with studying and partying.  You missed him a lot. He’d only come home every couple months for a weekend and when he did it just wasn’t the same.

When you were nearing graduation now 18 years old, You’d heard from your friend he’d gotten a girlfriend and she was a real piece of work.  None of their family liked her and he didn’t even seem like he did but she was in every single picture with him he posted to instagram.

For the first time you realized the jealousy that was eating at your heart, making your stomach clench in unexpected ways.  You’d always thought of Jin as a friend, and on top of that he was your best friend’s brother.  Yet, your bestfriend was dating Namjoon, his bestfriend, so could she really be so mad if she learned about your forming crush?

After you had graduated, while enjoying summer, and one of your regular sleepovers at your friend’s house, a drunk Jin stumbled through the door late at night.  Your friend and yourself brought him to his old room, many drunk slurs spilling from his mouth that neither of you could make out until a “Y/N, is that you? I mishhed youu” He said stumbling over his words before passing out on his bed.

The next morning you were woken up with a hand on your shoulder.  You had been sleeping in your friends basement with a sleeping bag laid out on the floor.  Your eyes fluttered open to see Jin crouched by your side and your friend still asleep.  

He put a finger to his lips in a shh motion, pointing to your friend as if to say not to wake her.  Then he motioned for you to follow him to the slider door in their ranch style basement that opened up to his backyard.  

You did as he said and once you were outside he started walking out to a bench that sat at the far end of their large yard and sat down, patting the seat next to him hoping for you to join him.  You awkwardly sat on the bench facing him with a puzzled expression.

“We haven’t really talked in a while, I’m sorry about that” He let out with a sigh.

“It’s fine you’ve been busy” You replied with a shrug

His eyes trailed over your face with an expression you’d never quite seen.

“So my girlfriend dumped me, well, I dumped her, cuz she cheated on me which was basically her way of dumping me ya know?” he chuckled “ah, I really didn’t care that much, she was mostly just someone I was using to fill the loneliness”

It wasn’t unusual for Jin to vent to you about his lady troubles, but it’d been so long and with your newly realized feelings you didn’t quite know what to say.

“I’m sorry, that sucks” you said as genuinely as you could.

He seemed to be lost in thought, contemplating something, staring out into the yard.  

“I always hated that my sister and Namjoon had gotten together, I think a part of me still does a little.  I think that's what always kept me from coming on to you” He admitted.

You blushed slightly at what he was starting to bring up, not wanting to get your hopes up that this was the conversation you thought it might be, you just chuckled awkwardly in reply.

“But I always liked you...I do like you y/n.  I’m sick of holding it back and finding random girls to date just so I can avoid admitting to myself that its only you.” He paused and leaned in close to you “It’s only ever going to be you, please say you feel the same”

You gasped as his lips were just inches from yours. “Jin, I-I feel the same” you admitted.

“Thank god” he purred.  Finally bringing his lips into yours in the most glorious kiss you’d ever experienced. He grabbed the back of your neck with one hand pulling you close to him, his other hand on your waist.  The kiss only lasted a minute but you swore that time stopped and you’d melted into him for hours. He pulled away gently with a soft moan, “I’ve always wanted to do that”

You giggled, “me too Jin... so uh, how are we going to tell your sister” Not sure how your friend was going to handle this news.

Jin smacked his hand to his forehead as he pointed to the glass slider door, where you could both see your best friend standing in the window in shock, but with two thumbs up in approval.

 You laughed hard, embarrassed but relieved. Jin let out a low laugh as well shaking his head.  Then he turned back to you, his gaze soft and warm when his eyes met yours.

“y/n, please be my girlfriend”
