Sunday mornings were always like this, quiet and boring. Ten hates sleeping early on Saturdays because that meant spending a boring morning after looking at the ceiling in his small studio apartment.

He hated being alone, hated things being quiet. He would spent most of his time with his friends if he could but his friends have lives of their own and need their own space. His group of friends were quite the bunch and no matter how different they were from himself he loved being around them.

He loves the banter, the interactions and how everything seems to always be unpredictable with them. As a group they were a wild gang that had water gun battles and felt like rebels for doing it. Every single one of them are a joy to be with. As individuals and as a group, they are the most perfect mismatch ever.

He started thinking about them, about how they made his life better. Each one of them were great to hang out with, he was a social butterfly so getting along with people no matter how different they are from him was his thing.

He smiled, thinking about the day before when Mark felt in love with a new ice cream flavor, they were at their designated convenience store when they noticed a new bright color wrapper popsicle in the freezer, a new addition. The watermelon flavored popsicle was alright in his opinion but Mark went wild with it and just like that they spend the whole afternoon hanging close by the store and Mark blowing his weekly allowance in several watermelon popsicles.

He loves that about Mark, he’s full of excitement and finds joy in little things like a new popsicle flavor. He laughs a lot, even when Ten tells him a lame joke, he laughs because he loves to do that, he’s a cute little source of happiness and energy and Ten loves being around him.

Mark, he would say is like the stars, and then we have Haechan who is like the sun, he shines so bright he lights up an entire apartment building with his presence alone, he’s playful and has a lot of sass, spending time with him means getting roasted half the time by default but it’s okay because Ten can handle the heat. Haechan even though he tries to hide it has a heart of gold, and recently he’s been wearing it on his sleeve as he gains more confidence in himself, it’s beautiful to see.

Yuta is the definition of a narcissist in the streets and a selfless in the sheets type of guy. He’s assertive and refuses to look ridiculous no matter how much Ten tries. He’s smooth, oh so very smooth and what he loves about him is the fact that he’s confident without putting others down, his confidence is not based on how or why he’s better than someone else, if anything he appreciates the beauty in others so much that Ten thinks he might as well be a poet when he uses borderline prose to describe him or anyone else in the group.

Doyoung is the most protective person he has ever met, followed only by Taeyong, both of them makes sure no one does anything stupid, unfortunaly with their group of friends, that is a very difficult task. Both do it without complaining which is truly commendable, Doyoung with his nagging attitude makes him feel safe, he knows for sure he won’t choke with an ice cube if the orange haired boy is in the room.

Taeyong is paranoid, Ten secretly thinks the other boy has a special sense for this kind of thing, the fact he can sense when Mark and Haechan are up to no good and most of the time he’s right scares Ten a bit. Taeyong has intense eyes that sometimes are too much for him to handle but he knows Tae’s true murdering stares are reserved for anyone who dares to mess with his friends.

With brown curly hair that resembles a puddle is Jaehyun, the one who makes all the plans when everyone is going to hang out, the one who always chooses where they're going to eat fried chicken next and what movie they're going to watch next Saturday. Jaehyun loves watching horror movies with him because he says it’s funny when Ten screams nonstop when the scary stuff starts to happen.

“Ten’s screams are scarier than the actual movie” he always says jokingly and Ten has to chuckle a little while he turns to the side fixing his pillow a bit, it was true. He could scream pretty loud. Jaehyun in the other hand is extremely calm, nothing can make him lose his temper which makes him the perfect target for pranks, even if they don’t muster any real reactions out of him. The real show is watching Jaehyun remain completely blank face while Haechan and Mark tie a screaming Winwin to a lighting pole.

Thinking about a screaming Winwin, Ten has no other choice but to feel sorry for their prince, like everyone calls him. If Jaehyun is their designated target for pranks then Winwin is the designated bait for them. The lean boy loves and hates it depending on the pranks. He’s the chic one, the one who is always hooking Ten up with the best shampoos and skin care tips. He’s the friend that takes you shopping and makes you feel like a fashionista just because you paired up a short fur coat with skinny jeans and combat boots. Bless him.

When Ten first met Taeil his first impression about the other boy was the he was composed and very mature. Boy was he wrong. Taeil is the most childish of all of them, very petty too. His muggle act is pristine and when people try to tell the true about his character no one ever believes it, a true mastermind.

With Taeil he can talk about aliens, alternate realities, the types of life that inhabit other planets, different galaxies and conspiracy theories until 3am if they wish to with the occasional which game of thrones character are you quiz in the mix. Smoking a joint with vaporwave in the background while they debate the current six alien races battletling to decide which one it’s going to invade their home world it’s their usual setting when it’s just the two of them and Ten wouldn’t want it any other way.

And then there’s Johnny.

Johnny.

Johnny. He thought about Johnny with his tall frame, gentle smile, mess of a hair and big hands that always caress him so gently, so loving. His laugh is probably Ten’s favorite thing in the world, the way he chuckles at the silly things he does, the way his voice adopts at soft tone when he says his name.

“Ten” – He says it like it was the prettiest word in the universe, like those 3 letters were made of cotton candy and sparkles. That single word prompted out of Johnny’s lips make Ten feel full, complete. When those soft lips clash with his it’s like the entire universe is exploding under Ten’s closed eye lids.

They do most of their stuff together, him and Johnny. Since the first time they met at the arcade, they were inseparable, the connection too strong. He loves Johnny not just because he’s his boyfriend but because he’s also his best friend, they laugh a lot, they cry, they watch sappy movies until late night and make love until it’s the suns turn to take over the skies.

Johnny’s big hands feel exquisite in his hair when they’re showering, his smell lingers all over his apartment because even though they don’t live together just yet the tall boy has plenty of his belongings there.

Ten grabs the pillow Johnny usually rests his head on and hugs it. He can feel himself succumbing to the sleep once again but this time he’s smiling because when he wakes up Johnny will be there, letting himself in with the spare key copy he gave him and they are going to spend the Sunday like they always do, making chocolate cookies and watching bad movies until they fall asleep.

Ten closes his eyes, yeah he can’t wait to do just that.

11 Questions Tag - Part II

This was so long I had to split it up but thank you so much for everyone who tagged me: @tragically-broken @lronteeth @fiery-feyre

1. When you’re sad what makes you feel better? Reading and forgetting about my worries for a while or alternatively journaling and wallowing in self pity for a while. Tea also helps. 2. When was the last time someone told you they love you? I can’t really remember tbh… I don’t find it easy to say I love you to people and I guess I don’t often hear it either (how depressing 😂) 3. Have you ever lost a friend? Why? As much as I wish it wasn’t true, moving away from people definitely makes you grow apart and I’ve moved around all my life. With most people I usually still keep in touch, even though we’re not as good friends as we used to be but unfortunately with others I don’t really talk anymore 4. Would you rather have a lot of friends or a few close friends? A few close friends. 5. Have you ever been drunk before, and was the experience good or bad? I’ve been drunk and it’s usually good drunk but I’ve been bad drunk before. Crying in the club bathroom cause the Independent Woman part of your brain is too drunk to function and the Clingy Mess takes over and wants to drunk text your ex and tell him she misses him, or ‘why did I keep drinking the weird shots of different mixes of alcohol my friend kept handing me omg I’m going to throw up the entire contents of my stomach’ (those were just hypothetical scenarios, of course). But mostly it’s just laughs and fun times… 6. Have you ever been in love? No. 7. What makes you feel the most alive? Crying, I guess. It sounds weird but both good crying and bad crying to me are moments when I simply can’t contain my emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger) and I have to let them out and all of those extreme emotions are a good reminder that I’m alive. 8. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? Just one? 😂 I guess I’d make myself be as kind to myself as I am to others… 9. Have you ever wanted to shave your head? YES! So many times. I’m not emotionally attached to my hair at all and I’ve chopped it to a bob from waist long hair a few times before or dyed it weird colours so I definitely wouldn’t mind doing it. I think I could rock a buzzcut. 10. Do you have any tattoos? Nope. 11. If you could do anything right now what would it be? Go outside alone and explore the city at night (haha the joys of being a woman!)

1) Which event in history you’d want to witness if you could time travel? The moment when women got the right to vote. I love reading about the suffragette movement. Or the watergate scandal (this is the journalist in me talking 😂) 2) How did you meet your best friend? We moved in together without knowing each other. 3) If you can be invisible for a day, what would you do? TRAVEL! Get on a plane incognito and travel but I guess I’d have to find my way back home before the 24h are up 4) Your first kiss story I was about 13, I felt like I was the last one to have my first kiss but I definitely wasn’t and even if I had been there wouldn’t have been anything wrong with that but I was young and stupid. It was with a dude from summer camp, we had been flirting (or as much as 13yo can flirt), he had some tic tacs and we had a running joke where he would ask me if I wanted one and then open his mouth and stick his tongue with the tic tac out and say ‘come and take it’ and the best thing 13yo me could come up with was ‘maybe I will’ and then do nothing about it. Anyway, late at night he walks me to my room, we say goodbye, I go change into my pyjamas, and get ready for bed, he knocks on the door again and when I open it he says something silly like ‘about those tic tacs…’ and then kisses me. It was very average. A lot more tongue than young innocent Bianca was expecting, and my roommate was awkwardly shuffling around the room while we kissed for a good few seconds in the doorframe with the door wide open. The next day he was flirting with me again but also with one of my friends who didn’t know I liked him. I told her that I was upset and she apologised and we proceeded to lock ourselves into a room and cry (i don’t even know, don’t ask) and the guy was sat outside the door listening to the whole conversation. Camp ended the next day and I never spoke to the dude again but randomly saw him at a couple of parties and we both refused to acknowledge each other. 5) Most embarrassing memory I have so many that I literally can’t even remember, I just block them from my brain. A random one however is when this guy stopped me on the street and started chatting with me and at one point he goes ‘sooo… how are you?’ and I didn’t hear him properly and just blurted out ‘I’m 17!’ (fun fact I was 18 at the time so I didn’t even tell him the right age…)  6) Best 3 books you’ve read this year Lord of Shadows, ACOWAR and Six of Crows 7) Worst 3 books you’ve read this year The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey,  The Ship by Antonia Honeywell and Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez 8) Make your basketball team out of book characters Pretty much every fae male SJMaas has ever written + Aelin, Mor and possibly Lysandra who can shapeshift herself to be really tall. 9) Book trope you hate Cringy ‘but omg I can’t choose I love them both’ love triangles or Insta Love with no real reasoning behind it 10) Describe your style a mix of French and British inspired styles. Really simple classic pieces and overall ‘really put together but I didn’t even try’ except I totally did
