#this one was really nice for digging in his lil brain tysm

[thorinoakenbutt]

Hi again! Hope you don't mind more Vergil questions! How would Vergil feel about someone he likes flirting with him? And how would he handle someone he doesn't like flirting with him?

I don't mind at all, thank you so much for asking 💙

This was interesting to think about! Honestly, I think he'd react similarly between the two. Being a Crow, he isn't unaccustomed to using seduction to get closer to targets so if they're flirting back, it means he's doing a good job! He has difficulty turning it off though, so it makes it harder to tell whether or not he genuinely likes someone since he's 'just like that with everyone'.

But I think if he really likes someone, he's more likely to drop the flirting altogether which sends a different sort of mixed signals lol

okokok yes so prodigy taem gets lost in the city and what if a bunch of ppl from college see him & these are the really mean and rude ppl so they pick on him until yunho comes along and protects him and later brings him back to onkey ???

anon 1: pls talk about little child taemin getting lost i want to know pls i love this au

anon 2: omg!!!!! please talk about taemin getting lose in the city!! it sounds so cute!!!!

[uwu @ anon 1: tysm i luv this au too ;)]

yesyesyes let’s go. so basically what happened up until now was that taemin was tired of onkey taking him to uni since he deemed it “uncool” (like honestly how many 13 year olds want their embarrassing dads taking them to school everyday??). onkey then gave him a bus card loaded with some money so taem wouldn’t have to use cash. 

yeah so taemin has his books and his bag and he hops on the bus but he stayed up until 3am finishing a term paper and he’s hella exhausted bc he had to wake up literally 3 hours later for his dumb 7am class.

and while he’s on the bus, he starts to just kinda doze off bc it’s lulling him to sleep and he has his headphones playing this duet by some guys taem likes named kinho and mey.

then he wakes up, like fckin jo l t s awake maybe bc his conscience was like “wake tf up it’s been way too long since ur eyes were last opened.” taemin opens his eyes and he has no idea where the hell he is.

and he’s too awkward to say anything so he gets off on the next stop and decides to look for a police officer or some friendly storekeeper to tell him where to go.

and that’s when he realized his bus card went missing (tm: god damn it).

and he’s just standing on sidewalk with his books and bag AND NO PHONE and he’s alone and scared out of his damned wits like what does a 13 year old fresh out of high school do in this kind of situation? worse, onkey never told him what to do bc the idea just never came up. they assumed he was responsible enough to just get off the bus at the right time.

which he apparently can’t do.

so taem begins walking towards this nearby park and he vaguely remembers it when onkey took him and jonghyun there several years ago. and taemin’s senses kind of map out where he is, which is hard without his phone that is sadly sitting on his nightstand at home.

he does this for THREE hours. and with each minute passing, he’s growing more and more worried that he’s just digging a deeper hole and he’ll get killed or kidnapped or lost on the streets forever.

“hey u lost?”

and at the sound of a voice, taemin feels a wave of relief but then he recognizes the voice and the face and he feels nothing but dread.

it’s those guys. the guys who have stared at him and judged him silently since his first day. they haven’t been flat out rude but taemin knows they don’t like him.

“uh… i’m fi-“

one of the other guys interrupts him. “of course he’s lost he’s like 8. what do u expect?”

“i said i’m-“

“isn’t he supposed to be like, fuckin smart or something? how can he even get lost then?”

“i said i’m fine,” taemin asserts. “i’m 13 years old.”

“damn sorry. we’re just trying to help.”

and before taem can interject, another voice from behind him comes up. taemin knows who it is immediately. “oh taemin thank god. i thought i’d never find you.”

taemin doesn’t get it. the guys smirk, ignoring him. “ah yunho. why aren’t you in class?”

yunho shrugs. “i could ask the same thing about you guys.”

“just getting lunch.”

yunho puts a hand on taemin’s shoulder protectively. “same. come taemin. sorry i’m late. i almost didn’t get your text. let’s go eat.”

taem still doesn’t get it at first but then he realizes that yunho is saving his ass nd he smiles warmly. “it’s ok hyung. we’re going to that diner down the street right?”

and yunho nods. by this time, the meanies have gotten bored and left, knowing they can’t square up to yunho (an: honestly who would). taemin sighs in relief, turning around to hug yunho. “thank you hyung thank you thank you thank you.”

yunho grins and hugs him back. “why are you even here? shouldn’t you be at class? like for real?”

“i missed my stop and i left my phone at home. i’ve been lost for more than three hours. also, how did you even find me?”

yunho shrugs. “i was running late and i saw your tiny mushroom hair from across the street. those kids need to leave you alone.”

“but they’re your age.”

“so you’re saying i’m young like them?”

“no i’m saying they’re old like you.”

“you lil shi- let me take you home. you need your phone ofc and i’m sure your dads would looove to hear this story,” yunho teases.

and taemin groans bc he knows jinki will probably be super awkward in thanking yunho and kibum will faint or freak out or scold him. “do we have to?”

yunho nods evilly and makes taemin get in his car. the entire ride back to his house (yunho has his address after taemin left his textbook in his last class) he complains about having to tell his dads.

“but hyung-“

“no buts.”

“hyung pls.”

and when they get there, onkey is confused bc shouldn’t taemin be at school? and so yunho makes taemin tell them the whole story about leaving his phone then falling asleep and getting lost and almost crying lmfao. and onkey are laughing their asses off at their son actually getting lost like oh hell how the hell.

and taem’s just mortified. “dads. please.”

jinki wipes away a tear. “our poor child, our dear poor child. he has my genes.”

“daaad…”

kibum places a hand on jinki’s shoulder. “oh yes he does.” he then turns to yunho. “thank you for bringing him home safely. we really owe you.”

“it’s no problem at all. i didn’t want this little sucker to fall down a hole, y’know?”

and taemin is just so embarrassed that yunho and his dads are talking about him like he’s some stupid kid but he’s happy that he’s not freezing on the streets anymore.

“why didn’t you ask to borrow a phone? from like, i don’t know, a nice worker?”

“right. or call the police. or us?”

“why didn’t you go inside?”

“you’re a 13 year old taking college level classes. how in the world did you not use that huge brain of your’s and do something sensible?”

“because i’m dumb hyung and dads. i’m very very dumb. can we go to class now?”

so yunho takes them to school and onkey tries to hide their laughter as taemin leaves in yunho’s car.

it’s one of their favorite stories from taemin’s childhood at family gatherings (+ yunho who soon came to practically become part of the family but that’s a story for another time).
