#my soft spot

[kolkatabbg]

*Turns you into a Bengal cat*

I would like to genuinely say this is the biggest, most beautiful, most lusciously well-designed compliment ive ever received. I mean. LOOK AT THEM.

THEY ARE SO CUTE

[mussiss]

Late to the party but can i just say i love YoungPil 😍

I have soft spot for wonpil since WIN (bad hair era) thought him to be some rough, kind of delinquent due to bad friend influence but has nice heart kiddo (i judge people on their hair) but he's actually a softie through and through and has remained so until now. Young K is just Young K (too idol for me which i must admit i just learned to appreciate his idolness and work ethics) and I love Day6 as a whole because of their music (like everyone else, i'm sure.. also because i am JYP stan to the core).

Honestly i dont pay too much attention to their contents not only due to the lack of thereof but also because i was preoccupied with different groups (multi tasking is not for me) so i wasnt aware of the group dynamics or the secret politics driven allengiances like some fans gossiping about (cough*the departure of infamous member*cough) but i stumbeld upon Summer Melody while the members on military hiatus and boy i was pleasantly surprised by how soft Young K is towards Wonpil.

Like i said, i have soft spot for Wonpil so to see someone treating him just as softly definitely intrigued me. I am aware of Dowoon x Wonpil mischiveous adventures and Sungjin x Wonpil but Young K and the blatant favoritism he showed throughout the show and later i learned, beyond?? Like how dare HIM?

Some of my favourite (not in any particular order):-

1) The fact that he openly declared he remembers Wonpil's enlistment date and discharge date but has no idea when Dowoon enlisted.

2) He loves to surprise Wonpil.

- lied to Wonpil that he couldnt attend his solo concert

-sing A Journey on a festival that Wonpil attended (pretty excited to surprise him)

- appear on Wonpil's birthday live with a seaweed soup right after his Dekira schedule

3) He attended the last day of Wonpil solo concert since rehearsal and during the concert he served as a backing vocals for Days Gone By (as explained by Wonpil later in the same concert - Wonpil was very pleased) and infamously cried during Wonpil last ment.

4) He remembers the exact days left until Wonpil's official discharge when fans asked in IG live.

5) On Summer Melody he offers to help Wonpil with the rice just because Wonpil said he feels hot (and looked tired).

6) When Dowoon asked for a help with the firewood he offers to help in exchange of looking for the ingredients - which basically just rummaging through the house not like picking things out in the garden (a one man job if you asked me and they have staffs behind the scene) but was quick to offer a hand when Wonpil is the one chopping it - even Dowoon complained that he was doing it alone.

7) Openly defend Wonpil whenever Sungjin complaints about the said man (tough love Sungjin is).

8) On a military radio show quiz he purposely stalled to ensure Wonpil's team win.

9) said he wants to eat whatever Wonpil wants to eat after the same radio show.

10) Wonpil chose him as the one that he talked in the phone the longest - Young K can identify the sound of ships, he is also aware that sometimes Wonpil didnt have signal if he sailed far away.

11) he made pasta for Wonpil in Autumn Break and had to re-do the pasta 2 to 3 times because it wasnt good enough for Wonpil. He was visibly *slightly* upset when Wonpil said the breakfast was good (the next day) but his pasta was only edible.

12) was obviously hyper during Dekira on Wonpil's unofficial discharge day.

13) the infamous phone call during his solo concert. I feel like everyone in the concert hall was third wheeling them LMAO.

... and more. Will probably update the list or maybe i wont.

*I dont know these people personally. These are just my observations.

Pretty, also pretty evil obviously so am I for giffing this one 😈

24th December

The whole school is enjoying some rest. Dumbledore invited the few students and professors still there to come for dinner later than usual, dressed nicely.

You're in your quarters, picking what you'll be wearing. Of course you have what you need ! Your favorite outfit with your favorite color, plus it's comfortable and warm enough, you don't even hesitate

The real difficulty was to try to distract yourself a whole day before the dinner.

You've never really liked Christmas, you've never hated it either but it wasn't the big event for you. Until you came to Hogwarts. Everything is so... magical here ! Magical snow falling from the ceilings. Magical trees decorated with magical lights. Magical candles floating around. Magic

You looked around your quarters. You've been teaching Muggle Studies here for 3 years now. Minerva is a good friend of yours, she forgot her scarf on your chair at the desk where she spent some time chatting with you the day before. Albus turned out to be the person you felt like you could tell everything to, you weren't that close but he was always there when you needed to talk. Poppy was a good friend too. The whole teaching staff was absolutely delighted with you.

Except the dungeon bat of course, but you were almost certain that he had a soft spot for you. Rarely shouting at you. Accepting your company sometimes. Taking remarks. When the stars were aligned. A real softie. 

You smiled while thinking about all of this.

You occupied yourself with some class preparations, late marking, reading and a damn lot of tea.

When the sun went down, you took it as a signal to begin dressing up. You always felt so confident in that outfit ! The color really suited you, made your smile shine even more, you even found yourself stunning which was pretty good for your self esteem !

Hearing the students moving around, you left your room, following your path in the hallways to Minerva's quarters. You knocked as you always did : 2 times and 2 times again with just a second between them. She opened almost immediately, wearing a green dress that fitted her pretty well. You complimented her and she complimented you as well. Both chuckling, you started walking to the Great Hall, ready for the big night.

None of you really paid attention to the students that were overexcited, talking really loud, laughing even louder. You all needed this.

Taking a sit at the professor's table, you watched in front of you. Instead of the usual 4 separated tables, Dumbledor had moved them to make a big U. That's cool, they'll be with all their friends tonight you thought. And taking a look at the professors you noticed you weren't with all your friends.

"Where's Snape ?" You asked Minerva.

She looked around before responding

"No idea. Maybe he's late ?"

"Snape ? Late ? Are you kidding me ?"

You both knew it wasn't a possibility. Either Severus Snape was early or he wasn't coming. There were no in between.

A hand brushed your shoulder and Dumbledore was next to you the second after.

"I fear we miss someone there, would you mind going to see him ?"

"No, of course Albus, I'm on my way."

You gave Minerva a quick wave of your hand before leaving the table. The students watched you leaving, you heard some compliments about how nice you looked and some questions about where you were going but didn't really paid attention.

The way to Severus Snape's quarters was almost the same as the way leading to Potion Class, you just had to go further in the corridor, deeper in the dark, and there you were : at the very end of this, was a door. Just a door, the wood was a bit darker than all the other doors of the castle, but it was just a door. And Severus Snape lived on the other side of this door.

Come on, he's not going to bite you, he's just late and probably in a terrible mood because of that but it's okay.

You knocked. Your usual. 2 and 2.

Nobody answered but you could hear someone was in there.

You knocked again. 2 and 2.

"You know I'm gonna come in anyway, right ?" You tried

And this time the door opened. Severus Snape was towering you, obviously pretty pissed.

"What ?" He spat

You looked at him and you knew he wasn't wearing his usual outfit but couldn't really point out what was different.

"You weren't at the table. Albus asked me to come find you. So... here I am ?"

He looked annoyed but invited you to come in.

"I just can't properly tie this tie and I'm going insane, trying and trying again. So unless you know how to do it, I'm not going anywhere."

A tie. That's what was different.

"I shouldn't laugh right now, right ?"

"I'd prefer you not."

"....okay I'll try my best then."

You were almost suffocating trying to not burst in laugh. A TIE. HE WOULD GIVE UP ON CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR A TIE.

Without a word you came close to him, taking his tie, putting it around your own neck, tying it and putting it back around his own neck. You did that without  really minding it, your hands working by themselves. He looked stunned.

"There, you just have to tighten it up now."

He wasn't moving, just looking at you.

"I just... okay, let me..."

You did it, placed it correctly and closed his jacket before taking a few steps back to look at him.

Black shirt, black jacket, black tie, black pants, black cloak. Black.

"I... can't let you look like a dementor. Not tonight. Not for Christmas. Nope. Not on my watch."

Without even asking, you went to his bedroom and searched through all his belongings. Black, black, black, oh and some black too ! Great.

"You really don't own anything more... something less... Black ?"

"No. Why would I ?"

"Why don't you ?" You shot back, not waiting for an answer "okay, let me think."

You came back to him and took your wand. He stiffened, but knew you didn't meant any harm -otherwise he would have hexed you instantly- so he waited.

He could feel the magic operating. His clothes changing around his body.

"Do you like it ?" you asked when it was over

Snape turned to see his reflection in the mirror and was he saw was... stunning.

The black suit now had a deep dark shade of green with silvery snakes around the seams. The cape had the same shade of green on the outside but the inside was a shiny silver and it was so fluid he started to think it was pure liquid. His shirt was a green lighter than the rest of the outfit. All of it looked beautiful, with tiny snakes here and there. It was perfect

"I... don't know what to say" he whispered

"Do you like it ?"

"Yes.." 

"Good, now let's go get dinner or we'll be so late there will be nothing left for us to eat !"

You shot him a smile and he nodded, closing his mouth and blushing lightly.

Both of you walked silently to the Great Hall. You noticed he had matched your steps, walking slower than his usual. It was nice. The silence was comfortable, you could see him look at his clothes, watching his cloak swirling around him and it pleased you that he seemed to like it. As you approached your destination, the corridors became warmer and brighter, the muffled sound of conversations could be heard, and you soon reached the last door. You were about to push it open when you heard your colleague say something, too low for you to really hear it

"I'm sorry ?" You asked, genuinely not having heard his words

"I said... thank you. For that." He gestured around his clothes

"Oh. That's nothing Snape, really. You don't need to thank me, everyone deserves to feel amazing for Christmas ! I hope you feel amazing. You're stunning like that, really."

You shot a smile to hide the fact that you talk too much when you're nervous. And you were nervous. You weren't expecting to be thanked, furthermore thanked by him

"You can call me Severus, you know ?"

You locked your gaze with his. You said nothing but you nodded, smiling again.

"Shall we ?" He asked, showing the door

"Yep, I'm starving Severus"

His name rolled on your tongue, it was something new. It sounded good. Better than Snape. Closer too.

When you crossed the door, the silence shocked you. All the eyes were directed to you and Snape. Because you were late mostly. But also because of your outfits. Ignoring it, you walked to your sit, followed by your colleague. You heard some comments on you, been there, heard that already and it was nice. But you also heard comments on Severus' outfit. That's new you thought. 

Taking back your seat next to Minerva, Snape took the one at your other side. Not because it was the last one, as some of your colleagues were on vacation, so maybe he wanted to be there. Sweet.

Minerva commented to you about how wonderfully you've worked with him. Obviously she knew he wouldn't have picked this outfit by himself and she knew you well enough to know you came up with this look. Albus seemed pleased too. He nodded to you when your eyes met eventually. And he smiled too. A smile that kinda meant "I-know-what-you-did-that's-cool-I-hoped-you'll-finally-befriend-him-for-merlin's-sake". As he was the person you were always speaking openly to, he knew you were intrigued by Snape. And truly you were. You wanted to break the shell of rudeness and roughness to find what's deep inside.

And you knew you had a chance, as you were one of the only persons he tolerated sometimes, listened to, often, and even accepted criticism of. If the stars were aligned. But still. You were curious about him. 

And this dinner fed you with way more than food.

Quickly after you sat back, the conversations began again. Children are children, they're so easy to distract. And food was a distraction good enough to make them forget about you and Severus.

Severus.

You've never heard him talk that much. Maybe he talked more during this meal than in the three past years you've spent teaching in the same school.

Christmas miracle.

Mostly talking about work at first, you ended up talking about your respective lives, friends, family -you talked a lot about your muggle parents- and you learned a lot about each other.

Sometimes he seemed to clam up again, when you asked about certain things or when Minerva tried to enter the conversation but she seemed to understand that and quickly backed up, talking to other professors or just eating silently. You knew she was listening, it was pretty obvious, but honestly, you couldn't have cared less, she already knew everything about you as you spent a lot of time talking with her in the 3 years you were at Hogwarts, teaching and befriending almost everyone.

Almost

And now you were at the point where the last person you weren't counting as one of your friends was just next to you, telling you almost everything you wanted to hear about him.

"You never dated anyone ? I mean, there's plenty of fish in the sea... really ? Never ?"

"I... Kinda married my job. Let's say that."

"I know we spend most of our lives here, in the castle, but... During the holidays ? You have nobody to return to ?"

"Do you ?"

"...Okay, good point. But I had love stories. It just didn't worked, i'm not against it."

Severus looked at you in a strange way, you didn't really understood what his eyes were telling, but you felt a bit uncomfortable. You felt you crossed a line.

"I had one. Went pretty bad. Never tried again. End of the story."

You felt Minerva's elbow lightly touching yours. You knew it meant you were in a dangerous area but you were too curious for your own good.

"Is there by chance a universe where you tell me this story ?"

He stiffened, the same way he did when you pointed your wand at him. Did he felt threatened ?

"I don't think so."

He was clamming up again. You were losing him but didn't really knew what to say now. You both started eating in silence, the dinner was slowly ending as the plates were mostly empty.

Midnight was there, announced by the giant clock of the main hall. A sweet ringing sound emerged from the big christmas tree that was hanging in a corner of the room.

It was now surrounded by presents !

"I think we all still have a bit of energy to give to a present opening, don't we ?" Asked Dumbledore loudly

Everyone started to cheer, the students hopped from their seats and hurged to the tree, checking the names on every present under the careful eyes of their teachers.

When everybody had found the present destined to them and backed from the tree to open it, the teachers came too, inspecting what was let for them. Minerva took the responsibility of finding and giving each gift to his recipient.

Dumbledore found a good pair of socks.

"We always need more socks" he said, perfectly happy

Minerva had a new hat, she replaced her own immediately with a soft smile. You were responsible for this gift.

Severus opened the box far from the others, said nothing and closed it back, not showing an ounce of joy or deception.

You took the gift waiting in front of you and opened it carefully. A piece of fabric was in it. It was soft, fluid, in the color scheme of your Hogwarts House.

Your Secret Santa wasn't what you could have called "creative" but at least, they had taste. You liked it and decided to put it around your neck, appreciating the nice feeling of the fabric.

"Would you mind... turning back my clothes ?"

The voice behind you made you jump. Severus was near. Everyone was going to bed, the room was almost empty, there were just a few students left and Minerva, making sure nobody was trying to stay up all night.

"Oh, yeah, of course ! You're sure you don't want to keep it ? I mean, you have a lot of backup clothes, you could keep this nice outfit ?"

"I don't have many occasions to wear this."

It was hopeless, you could see in his eyes he was determined to have his usual outfit back.

"May I walk you back to your quarters so I can enjoy my creation a bit more ?"

"...I guess."

It was so cold. Because of the temperature of course, late at night on this side of the castle, but it was even colder between you and the professor. He was walking a bit in front of you, a bit quicker than you, absolutely not like earlier.

"I'm sorry." you muttered

Severus stopped walking and you stopped too. He didn't turn towards you though.

"I can't do this." He said flatly

"What do you mean ?"

Were you supposed to come closer ? Were you supposed to do something ? It was always so difficult to know how to act with this man.

"You want something I can't give. You want me to tell stories I'm not ready to tell. You want me to become someone else, someone I'm not. Someone lovable, someone... I'm not made for love. Hardly for friendship. Don't ask me to change, I will not."

"I didn't-"

"I know what you did all night. Asking me stuff, making me talk about me. I saw Minerva giving you those elbow indications. I'm not dumb."

"Severus."

He stopped his ramblings, turning to look at you.

"I... don't want anything from you. I don't know what makes you think that, but I just helped you look nice for tonight. I just wanted to know more about you, because it's been YEARS and I still have a bit of hope you're a human too. I just... I wanted to make friends ! And yes, tonight I started to... I started to have a crush on you ! Until you decided to become all sad and dark again, because I asked a question I obviously shouldn't have. But I couldn't know that, because I don't know you."

He took a step back, trying his best to not meet your eyes. His gaze fell on your scarf.

"You like it." he said suddenly

"Yes."

"I had trouble finding something that would fit."

"It was you ?"

He was fidgeting with a wick of his hair.

"I'm bad at this. Bonding. Dealing with other people's feelings. I've always been. You're... easier to tolerate."

"...thank you I guess."

"I'm not the type of person that has many friends and is happy with it. I have my potions, my books, my job and that's all I need. But I think I can put some effort into trying to be easier to deal with."

"I don't understand Severus. It's late, I'm tired, disappointed and you're not making it easy right now"

He invited you to start walking again, staying silent at first but then building up the courage to talk

"I was worried. I still am. Because I'm a bad friend and a worse lover. I tend to just push back anyone trying to bond with me. It's better for everyone."

"How long has it been ?"

"What ?"

"How long has it been since you had your last friend ? A true friend I mean. Someone you can count on. Someone you can tell everything to."

"something like 30 years."

"That's a lot. What happened ?"

"She died. My fault."

You knew it was the thing. By the look in his eyes, it was the thing he didn't want to talk about earlier. 

"She died. My fault."

You knew it was the thing. By the look in his eyes, it was the thing he didn't want to talk about earlier. Of course you weren't gonna make him talk about it if he didn’t want to, but he was opening up right now.

“Do you want to talk about it ?”

“No. Not right now. I can’t.”

“I understand.”

And now what ?

“So… You’re sure you want me to turn back your clothes ? Those are pretty great.”

“Yes, I like what you did but I need them back. My tie was a present.”

“I could just change another tie so you would have your original tie back AND you could keep this amazing outfit !”

“I… Actually I didn’t think about it but I guess it would be perfect.”

Now, it was better. Talking was simple again, you could feel Severus relax and you both spent the last minutes of your walk talking together. You even heard him laugh, just a small laugh, a shy laugh. the laughter of someone never laughing out loud. Heartwarming.

Finally, too soon for you, the door of Severus’ quarters was in front of you. This was the end of the journey.

He let you come in, just the time to do your magic and change his ties, but you appreciated he didn’t just ask you to leave immediately.

“Here you go !” you said happily, giving him back his original tie and the new one matching the outfit he still had “I’m happy you decided to keep it. I really like what I did there !”

“Thank you.”

“you’re welcome !”

“You know I… I’d like to know you. I can’t promise we could be more than friends. But at least I want to try.”

“I’d love that” you said lightly 

He was obviously tired, his social battery was empty. Just before you turned to go back to your own room, something incredible happened : Severus took your arm, slowly so you wouldn’t be afraid, and drew you to him into a hug.

Just a hug.

But you felt like it was something huge for him, and it was something for you too.

“Merry Christmas” He whispered

“Merry Christmas, Severus” you smiled back

It was indeed a merry Christmas night for the both of you.
