The Best Years: Day 534

Pairing: Mingyu x female reader

Genre: angst, some crack and then fluff

Warnings: swearing, talks of ex's and cheating

a/n: HI I'VE RETURNED TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING! Seriously though, this is what I get for not finishing the whole series before I started posting but I was just so excited. Anyways please enjoy, if you want to request anything my inbox is always open! I'm currently working on this and a little Chan mini series kind of thing that I'll hopefully be posting soon!

“I am in love with a WHOLE IDIOT!” you yell as you walk through the door of your shared apartment, Mingyu right on your heels.

“I’m not an idiot!” he seethed as he hung up his jacket, kicking off his shoes in the process.

You were supposed to be enjoying a nice date, but it ended abruptly when you and Mingyu had run into your ex on the way to get ice cream. You were cordial enough, it wasn't like you really wanted to have a “ohmygodhowhaveyoubeen?!” conversation with him, but you asked a few basics and went on with your night. 

You thought everything was just fine but apparently Mingyu was feeling a type of way. You’d noticed he’d been on edge for awhile now but you figured you two were just settling into living together. But then he managed to “run into” your ex again when getting drinks for the two of you which lead to about an hour long conversation between the two of them trying to one up each other and you sitting there staring at your drink in the most unamused state.  

“I literally had to sit there and watch you challenge him to a ‘my dick is bigger than yours’ contest!” you huffed, plopping down on the couch.

You crossed your arms, closing yourself off while Mingyu stood on the other side of the coffee table. You were truly at a loss for words. Mingyu was one of the most secure and confident people you’d ever met and to see him basically acting like a fifteen year old was something you hadn’t experienced in the almost two years of dating. 

“Well,” he muttered under his breath, “if it was that kind of contest I would win for sure.”

You blinked at him before raising an eyebrow.

“I’m gonna kick you in the shins,” you said in the flattest tone you could muster, “he’s an ex for a reason. If I wanted to still be with him I would’ve married him.”

You saw something shift in Mingyu’s demeanor immediately at the mention of marriage. 

“Wait,” he said quickly, “you would’ve married that stale ham sandwich of a human??”

You were slightly taken aback not only by the fact that that was the only part of the conversation he’d heard but also at the use of “stale ham sandwich” being used as an insult. You mentally stored that one for a later date if needed. 

“We were together for like four years,” you explained, “so yeah it came up at some point. But we ultimately wanted different things. I wanted to settle down and get serious and he wanted to hook up with his coworker so you can see how it didn’t work out.”

Silence.

This was new information to Mingyu. While you’d talked about ex’s and everything early on into your relationship you never really told him why you’d broken up with any of them. To you the why wasn’t really important. You’d worked through your issues in years of therapy so why bring up the past if it did no good? 

“Shit,” he said quietly before sitting down next to you, “I’m sorry babe.”

You let him take your hand, not really having the heart to stay mad at him over something trivial. 

“Don’t be,” you shrugged, “it’s in the past. I’ve clearly moved on to better and bigger things.”

A smile finally broke on both of your faces as you laughed together. You finally leaned into him, kissing his cheek before leaning your head on his shoulder.

“I do need to ask you something though,” you confessed, “what’s been up with you lately? You seem so on edge almost. Does it have to do with us living together? If you need more ‘you’ time all you have to do is tell me.”

“No!” he panicked, “it’s the opposite i promise,” 

“Can you tell me what’s up then?” you turned so you could look up at him.

Your interest peaked even more when his teeth caught his bottom lip, something that only happened when it was something big. You watched his face go through a few different emotions before he got up and made his way to your shared room.

“Stay right there!” he called, you could hear him rummaging around for something. 

After a minute or two he came back out with something in his hand.

“Ya know,” he started before sitting down on the edge of the coffee table so he could face you fully, “This was not how i was really planning this but I’m learning the perfect time doesn’t exist.”

He opened his hand to reveal a small ring. A single stone that seemed to sparkle brightly in the dim lighting of the living room. 

“Gyu…” you stumbled, your voice catching in your throat.

“Just hear me out really quick,” he hurried, “I know this isn’t a remedy for me being a dickhead back there but I’ve been sitting on this ring for one hundred and sixty nine days. I’ve been sure of the fact that you are it for me since our first date. I’m thankful every single day that you’re the first thing I get to see in the morning and the last thing I get to see at night. I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life. So, what do you say? You wanna be stuck with me forever?”

You couldn’t help the stupid grin that was now plastered on your face.

“I have one condition,” you said, giving him your hand.

“Anything,” he said as he slipped the ring on your finger, kissing the top of your hand.

“Hyphenated last names,” you giggled.

“You got it, my love.”

"content creator" is a corporate word.

I really love the way they have written Sally and Percy’s relationship in the show. Sally being the mom of a neurodivergent kid and feeling like shes constantly failing. Her being isolated because she doesnt have anyone to talk to about this as a single parent. And she makes mistakes, she feels human. Then we have Percy feeling like a burden to his parent. He cant understand why none of his parents want him around even though its for his wellbeing. It’s so heartbreaking but so real.

“You see?” said Laurent. “He has forgiven me for the small matter of the whip. I have forgiven him for the small matter of killing my brother. All hail the alliance.”

my interpretation of grian is like what if there was a 20 year old rave girl stuck in the body of a 36 year old uptight loser

That's all that's left. Fifty-seven pages of research, two bottles of morphine and one ticket back to the Capital. The train departs at dusk.

An illustration for a Patho AU inspired by Bulgakov I'll probably never write properly but it's been worming in my brain for over two years now.

the funniest part about the boys prequel has already happened and it’s that show turning into the exact kind of mcuified franchise it started out mocking
