how fast the night changes

chapter i part i

a sam x reader x mike

youve always had a compliacted relationship with your best friends. that all changes the night you go back to josh's house in the mountains.

contains: fluff and angst i mean its until dawn. mentions of death, mention of that little perv chris switched seats with.

wc: 3.800+

a/n: back in my until dawn phase bc of the quarry and we are lacking fics (especially poly ones) so i came to provide. decided to do these two bc they are my favorites and. theyre hot. enjoy. (im also following along with an all good choices everyone lives lets play because i love a good horror ending sorry.)

the bus ride up to the mountain was much more sinister in the dark of night. maybe it was because the thick trees of the expansive woods hid anything that lurked inside them. maybe it was because of what happened the last time you were here. either way, everything felt different this time.

you still remember how you met all of your friends. it was sixth grade, and you were the new kid, so you were prepared for it to be brutal. but here come these two dorks who say their names are josh and chris that plop down next to you during lunch to ask you some dumb question about the newest video game-was it super mario?-

you look down at your phone, the custom playlist you got for this trip nearly halfway done as it hums through your headphones. bopping your head along, you click out of the music app and head to your messages, seeing the last texts you shared with your friends. emily's were blunt but endearing, ashley and chris's enthusiastic, jess's laid back. but you feel a smile slowly appear looking over your last messages with sam and mike.

sam: please tell me you remembered to bring me some extra veggie chips! i have a feeling josh forgot to stock up on my vegan snacks :,)

y/n: only if you remembered to bring my favorite blanket from your dorm, you know the heating is most likely broken and im definitely not freezing to death up here!

sam: so dramatic! already ahead of you <3 see you at the lift!

you go to look over mike’s, trying to ignore the heat you feel in your face at her knowing what you wanted without you even asking.

mike: your new favorite playlist is ready, brought to you by your favorite person on earth

y/n: what do you mean? sam didn't make me a playlist

mike: haha very funny

mike: y’know id appreciate some appreciation every now and then, i put all of your faves on here! even some hidden gems I've been listening to recently

y/n: thank you my best friend in the whole wide world for the amazing playlist i know you don't share your amazing music taste with everybody

y/n: happy?

mike: very. thanks, babe. see ya soon.

well, that didn't help.

you step off the bus with your carry-on, saying your thanks to the tired-looking bus driver before they drive off after giving you a weary smile and an ominous “be safe out there.”. you step further towards the entrance and seeing the faded yet familiar Blackwood Pines sign fills you with bittersweet nostalgia. remembering your first time getting plastered with josh and chris, dancing to the newest shitty songs with jess, telling emily about your crushes crush, gossiping with beth, watching the newest show that hannah couldn't stop talking about…

you shake your head. nows not the time to dwell on the past, you're here to rekindle old friendships and have a great time.

as you continue walking to the lift, you get more and more unsettled by the dark woods surrounding you. yes, the woods were inherently creepy, but it felt like someone, or something was watching you. you always joked around about something being in the woods, but those were just jokes. your mind is jumping around so quickly that you don't even register the snap of twigs and someone grabbing you-

“fucking hell!” leaves your throat as you bend over and try to catch your breath. meanwhile, samantha giddings is laughing her ass off behind you.

“i just - and then you- oh my god!” she wheezes, bent over and holding her knees with her hands. she laughs even harder when she looks up to see you staring at her with a straight face.

“you're not funny. at all. get up.” you reel your foot back as if you're about to kick snow and dirt at her, and thankfully that makes her calm down a bit.

“ok, ok. alright. im sorry, i couldn't help it!”

after her laughter has officially died down, you both stand and stare at each other for a minute, before laughing and running into a hug.

“its been so long sammy” you whisper into the blonde girl's hair, taking in the scent of her vanilla and papaya shampoo.

“way too long. promise me after this you’ll come to visit before the end of the school year? you can be my good luck charm for my exams” she pulls away to look at your face, her slender arms still wrapped around your waist.

“only if you promise to stay with me for a while this summer. there are so many things i wanna do with you.”

“many things, huh? got any more examples?” the side of her mouth quirked up, smirking at the way you stumble over your words.

“i just meant that… it's been hard. without you. and the others of course. it feels like we barely ever see each other since…”

your words trail off. it's still hard to say aloud what happened on the mountain last year. you look at sams face and see the sadness on her face, too.

while you were always close with beth, she was best friends with the other washington twin.

she always felt a little guilty that she didn't run off after them that night.

so did you.

you try to change the conversation, hoping to lift both of your moods.

“what i mean is, our college's aren't that far but it feels like i see you once in a blue moon! it'd be nice to catch back up and get closer.”

“i know what you mean. there's so much we have to talk about.” she agrees. “so, we can start on this longgg walk up the lift. you ready?”

she holds her arm out and you link yours through hers. god, did you miss her.

the walk to the lift was surprisingly nice. sure you had to walk through some creepy ass woods, but doing it with your best friend made it somehow enjoyable and even funny. especially when she fell on her ass after trying to climb the stone wall next to the busted gate.

“stop laughing and help me up!”

“oh, how the table have turned.”

while walking, you both spot a squirrel running past you. you decide to ignore it, but sam being the animal lover she is, tries to feed it.

“here you go little guy, have a nice life, alright?” she sighs, waving to the squirrel as it goes back into the woods. she turns to keep walking but finds you staring at her. “what is it?”

“nothing, nothing. we should hurry up, feels like I'm getting frostbite already.” you rush, ignoring as sam laughs at your dramatics.

eventually, after more idle catching up, light teasing (and both of you seeing something weird after picking up a totem?), you finally arrive at the cable car station…and see no sign of chris.

you let out a long and loud sigh, “god its so like him to go do whatever stupid crap right now. if he went up without us i'm gonna kill him.”

sam giggles at your upset grumbling, before moving her arms up and down the arms of your coat from beside you. “ok, ok. lets just look, around ok? im sure that doofus is around here somewhere.”

you both search around the station for mutual goofy blonde friend, until finally you find his backpack after hearing his phone ring. you don't catch who the caller was before it ends, and you notice sam come up behind you. “hey, I cant find that doofus, i don't know where he could be hiding-”

her voice is cut off by the phone pinging again, and you both see the user id-ashley, your mutual friend and chris’ crush of for-fucking-ever. on the handful of times youve spoken to ashley recently, you were pretty sure she liked him too.

you and sam lock eyes, sharing a mental conversation. you know she wants to leave it alone, and she knows you want more than anything to look at what theyve been talking about because you know your friend has absolutley no game.

you dont get the chance when you hear a “sam! (y/n)!” behind you, quickly turning around to see your tall glasses-wearing friend.

“thank god! i felt like i was gonna freeze to death out here!” you exclaim, making the blondes laugh as you hug chris, his big arms encompassing your entire body.

you smile. you missed this big dork.

you feel one of his hands leave your back, and then you feel the press of sam against your side. your face grows warm as both of you wrap your arms around each other to form a group hug. as you back away, sam looks at you affectionately, and chris looks between the both of you. you squint your eyes in a ‘shut it or ill kick you in the balls’ way and he stops.

“oh! so, i found something amazing.” christ speaks, looking at the both of you and moving over to his bag which still rests on the seat.

you and sam share a look. “what?” she asks.

“im not gonna tell you, you gotta see for yourself,” he replies, ever the little shit, he hikes his bad up onto his shoulder and starts moving away from the station. “come on, its this way.”

“where?” you question his next. again, it was freezing out here, and as much as you liked doing stuff with your friends youd much rather do it inside the lodge.

“right around here, gonna blow your mind.”

you follow chris around the back of the station until he moves in front of the surprise and holds out his hands. “ta-da! pretty rad right?”

“yeah…” sam stares at it, making you laugh beside her. before you stands a mini wooden shooting range, just built to shoot a few targets before the trees. on the wood panel lies two hunting rifles, placed for the targets placed either on the trees or on the stumps ahead of it.

“come on! look at these beauties!” chris smiles, trying to get you and sam at least amused by what he was showing you.

sam is still unconvinced. “”beauties” is not the word that comes to mind. why is this even here?”

“what do you mean?”

“what the hell is a shooting range doing at the base of a ski lodge?”

“dude, have you ever met josh’s dad?” chris asks her, fiddling with the rifle.

“yeah, he definitely thinks hes more badass than he really is,” you pick up one of the guns, admiring the details of it, “or maybe hes preparing for something in these woooods…”

“oh shush with the ghost stories, (y/n).” chris shushes at you, ignoring you scrunching up your face at him. you would admit that you did look into folklore and the supernatural, but who could blame you? it was interesting. “but shes right, dude thinks hes like, grizzly adams or something. either of you wanna try?”.

“you go head, grizzly.” sam declines, smiling at chris. yours eyes widen when they both turn to look at you.

“oh, you dont want me to go first. id embarrass you. but please be our guest.” chris scoffs and turns away from you, saying something under his breath. sam nudges your shoulder and laughs, “be nice.”

chris faces the targets and holds the rifle up to his shoulder, preparing to shoot. “alright, here goes.”

you both watch on as he hits both of the stuffed bags and both of the soda cans.

“wow, nice shootin tex.” sam compliments him.

“yeah, you been practicin this in your spare time?” you instantly regret it when he says “alright, im bad! im a badass!” and starts dancing in place. moron.

you nearly bust out laughing at the unamused look on sams face. “im gonna go ahead and guess it was a wild case of beginners luck.”

“nah, i dont think so girl.” he shrugs her off, yet again taking aim. he strikes a beer bottle, shattering it into pieces.

“anybody and their brothers could shoot a bottle that big, that close.” sam teases chris again. you notice a cute little squirrel make its way to snack on some nuts that lay on one of the barrels. chris shoots one of the stuffed bags again.

“ok ill admit. youre a nice shot.” chris’ eyebrows shoot up at your compliment, laughing when you roll your eyes.

“your asses just got sacked.”

you and sam both groan.

he goes to take aim, but in the corner of your eye you see the lift coming down. “hey, sharp-shooter, our ride is coming.”

“wh- im just getting the hang of it!” chris complains.

“come on chris, the cable car!” sam reaffirms, moving to loop her arms through yours and head to your ride. the both of you go ahead and laugh to each other when you hear chris groan and follow suit.

while walking, chris comes up behind you and starts to speak, “man it is… its definitely weird coming back up here after a whole year.”

“yeah. i swear, the moment i got here it just all came flooding back.” sam says. shed gone from linking your arms to holding your hand and leading you. your cheeks felt warm.

“i know what you guys means. a year went by so fast…” you whisper under your breath. you see chris looking at something on the wall of the station and tug sam back to look. it's a wanted poster for someone name milgram victor, last seen here on the mountain in the 90s. you vaguely remember josh talking about it.

“nice. think we’ll get a visit from americas most wanted?” chris kids after observing the sign.

“looks like someone thought so,” you reply. “i dont know why, its been almost 20 years, what would he even be doing? and dont answer that weirdo.” you give a stern look to chris when you see him excitedly open his mouth to go into imaginary detail about what milgram could be doing.

sam shrugs it off. “looks like someone thought so.”

“nah y/n’s right,” chris agrees with you, “this place is abandoned most of the year. nodbody comes up here.” after that, the three of you move on.

“this all must be really hard on josh…” sam expresses suddenly, bringing back up the topic of what happened last year.

chris speaks up from behind you, “i dont know how he keeps it all together. id…i mean id be a wreck.”

“who says he isnt?” your question makes sam scoff and chris sigh. “oh come on, we three are the closest to him and i know you both could tell something was up in that video. not to mention what happened with his therapist so who even knows whats going on inside that big head of his-”

“hey hey hey, slow down!” you hear then feel chris and sam next to you, both putting a hand on your shoulders . “look, dont worry. we’re all gonna be there to help josh if he needs it, yeah? for now lets focus on having a good time.”

chris could be a doofus at times, but he did know how to make you feel better. you let out a long sigh, stabilizing yourself before looking at your two friends and ready to continue.

its only a few seconds later when sam gets to the door and stops. “hey thats weird. door’s locked.”

“yeaaah…josh wanted us to keep it locked. keep people out.” chris tells her.

“he really said that? what kind of people?” she questions him. josh was never one to be scared of what could be lurking on the mountain.

“i dont know. he said they found people sleeping in the station one time.”

“creepy.” “thats so sad.” you and sam share a look as you speak at the same time before moving on.

“after you,” chris moves his arm in a sweeping motion of chivalry torwards to the now open station door, laughing as sam teases him with “a real gentleman.”

the three of you move inside, you and chris heading to check out the controls as sam moves to look out over the edge of the rail.

its small inside the control center, just the room with the controls, a desk, and some lockers. you and chris lean in to look at one of the posters, advertising the blackwood pines hotel and-

“sanatorium?” you both say under your breath, looking at the other. how did you never hear about this?

“ugh! i though the car was closer.” you heard sam complain from outside.

“guess we gotta wait…” chris voces, still obsering the sanatorium poster. “what a crazy place to set up house.”

“emphasis on the crazy.” you joke, laughing when chris swats at you with his hands. “but seriously, they couldnt have picked any other mountain? this is odd, no matter how rich you are.”

“guess mr.washington couldnt pass up on the view.” chris speaks.

“theyre not so rich,” sam rebuttals. “they only bought a mountain!”

you slightly giggle at her joke.

from the corner of you eye you see a flickering creen on the desk, dragging chris over by his arm to look at it.

“huh? since when did they have all this security up here?” your companion questions, observing the amount of places covered by what must be new secuirty cameras.

you sigh, feeling slightly unerved,“i guss they really are worried about something up here.”

looking out the small window, you see the cable car has almost arrived, making you move outside in preparation. you notice sam has zoned out, so you tickle her neck slightly, making her flinch away and let out a light squeal. “ah! oh you know i hate it when you do that!”

you smile at the blonde, leaning into her side “yeah right, sammy.”

she lets out a playful groan, wrapping her arm around your shoulders so you can both move into the cable car. you across from her as chris sits next to her.

“just like going to prom.” chris says before sitting down.

“chris, i was with you on prom night. you nearly threw up multiple times on the way there because you were scared about asking someone to dance-”

“alright alright! no need to bring that back up, y/n.” he shushes you, still embarrased about what happened 2 years ago. “anyway, adventure begins!”

“i hope this was the right thing to do.” sam sounds from across you.

“what?” chris asks her.

“you know getting everyone together on the anniversary. i mean, josh seemed really pumped about us all doing something didnt he?”

“yeah, no, he definitely did!” chris waves his arm around to express his point. “i havent seen him so excited about something in…forever.”

“good, good…” sams voice trails off.

“yeah, im glad he seems to be doing better. and its nice for everyone to be back together.” you smile, ready to see all of your friends again. even if what they did still hangs in the back of your mind.

“yeah yeah, but…its hard to tell with him and i…ive kinda been worried.” sams voice softens, her worry for her dear friend peaking through.

“no, no, it was…it was a good idea.” chris reassures her.

she looks over at you before staring at the ceiling. “i hope everybdy else feels the same way.

“we’re all here, arent we?” he questions.

“thanks bro. good talk.” sam goofs, lightly punching his arm.

you laugh at them. “he has such a way with words, doesnt he?”

he laughs along with the two of you, “you know what? screw the both of you. but really, lets just…lets just stop talking about what happened and enjoy the trip.”

“you know what? youre right.” sam agrees.

“seriously,” you sigh, leaning back and looking at the scenery. “i cant wait to just get to the lodge and relax with some hot cocoa.”

“um, what do you mean relax?” chris asks you, making you turn your head to raise a questionable eyebrow, “we’re supposed to party like porn stars, remember?”

“ugh, forgot about that part. we can do that tomorrow.” you groan, making your friends laugh at your antics.

theres silence for a little while longer before chris turns to the two of you and asks, “you two know how josh and i met?” you and sam shake your heads ‘no’.

“ok. third grade. josh sat in the back of the room, i sat in the front. we didnt even know each other existed. but the kid sitting next to josh started strap-snapping the training bra on the girl in front of him so the teacher made him move to the front - where i was sitting!”

‘ugh, gross.’ you think, before listening to the rest of the story.

“okay, so?” sam questions.

“so i got moved to the back!”

“and?” you prod.

“and next to josh! thats how we met! and became friends. to this day.”

“a match made in heaven.” you tease.

“if it werent for the fact that jeanie simmons hit puberty like three years early and on that day decided to wear a low-cut shirt that showed off her training bra…i mean who knows? you two could be riding in this cable car alone. right now. or talking to some other person entirely. boom. butterfly effect.”

“well i sure am glad we got you and not the bra snapper, chris.” his face twists in a mix of annoyance and happiness.

“it is freaky to think about, though. like, who knows how many little things we thought about doing but didn't would change who we are?” sam joins in, rubbing her hands together as the cold starts getting to her.

“well, i like to think fate could play a part in it as well.” you notice how both of your companions are looking straight at you, urging you to continue. “what? i mean, who we are effects what we’re most likely to do, which means some things are just meant to happen. at least thats how i see it. whatever, just stop looking at me.”

“no, no! i understand,” sam leans forward, taking your hands in hers. “i get it, like some things are just meant to be. its kinda nice, knowing id end up knowing you no matter what.”

your heart leaps to your throat when she sustains eye contact with you, the grip of her hands moving to hold your wrists.

“like i was doomed to fail that english test in sophomore year. im still pissed off about that.”chris says from your left, making you nearly jump out of your skin from being in the moment you just had with sam.

“yeah, just like your english test, chris. sure.” sam replies flatly, slightly slumping back into her place, her face perking up when you shake your head in amusement.

this was gonna be a good night.

HEESEUNG !%

when you were busy with something other than him

doing some schoolwork/work at your desk

and he'd been sitting in the living room, sprawled on the couch

messing around on his phone

and he'd seen a couple's post

or even just something that reminded him of you

he'd been like 😶😯😧🙁 "i miss y/n"

and heeseung just abandons his lazy chilling session to go find you

he's about to burst into your room when he thinks "WAITTTT what if theyre sleeping"

so he slows and quiets down

but when he looks around he kind of deflates

bc if you'd been sleeping, he could have easily cuddled up to you and slept happily

but you were doing something important

so he kinda had a dilemma (😛) whether to interrupt that or not

he decided that you've been working for a while, so it's about time for a break

so heeseung thought what better way to spend your break from work than loving on your cute handsome amazing boyfriend amiright? 😳

he padded into your room happily

"hi, baby!!!!!!" he greeted you excitedly bc he missed you

but you kept staring at papers filled with Lots of long words

he got dizzy just glancing at them

and you just gave a lil half-assed response, without looking away from The Papers

"hi, seung..."

and he was like 😄😃😐😕

BC CMOOON YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE AND HE CAME TO SEE YOUUUUU AFTER THIS LONG WHILE

but you looked serious, so he didn't take it to heart

now he made it his task to make you have a break

he walked up to your chair and rested his arms on it's arms, kinda caging you in

he leaned next to you and into your face

"hellooooo, please take a break and gimme a hug thank you"

he'd stare at you with those huge sparkling eyes of his

YOU FINALLY LOOKED UP!!!!

and omg heeseung, this proximity 😳

"please?" he pleaded, pouting when he saw you looking back and forth between his face and your papers

and ofc you gave in

"you're right, i've been working for a while" you smiled at him and it seemed as if a light has been switched on, he lit up soooo quick

he started grinning

he grabbed your hands and pulled you up and away from your chair and into your bed

he just fell onto your sheets and pulled you on top of him, which ouch???? might have hurt a lil

and yeah, he let out a kinda UFF sound

IT DIDNT MATTER

YOU WERE FINALLY IN HIS ARMS

he let you get comfy by cuddling up to his chest

you listened to his quickened heartbeat and were unable to stop your smile from growing

"are you this excited to see me? it's been only like... a few hours"

"ONLY A FEW HOURS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? that's a few hours too long of us not cuddling"

he huffed, and pulled you a little closer by your waist

"now it's time for rest, so shhh and love me"

JAY !%

you and jay had agreed on you being the one preparing dinner for your anniversary

so obviously, you wanted jay to leave all the tasks to you

bc usually he's the one pampering you

so you felt like it's really time to pay his neverending kindess back

ofc by preparing an amazing, perfect date night for the two of you

"no, jay, i want this to be a special surprise, please don't peek"

"babe, we live together, how am i supposed to not see everything you do"

"i don't know.... uhhh,,,, don't come to the kitchen or the dining area until i tell you to..? please?"

jay was a little restless when you didn't let him help with cooking dinner, but after he eyed you for a little while and everything seemed to be going fine, he left the kitchen and decided to not bother you

he was fine for a pretty long time, but when he finished with yet another episode of one of the series he had been watching, he got kind of bored

when he was bored, he usually asked you if you wanted to hang out, cuddle , watch a movie or maybe even let him style you for the tomorrow, but you Weren't Available in the moment

he just sat on the couch (yes, hes sitting on the couch too, ok) and sighed to himself

he got bored of the series and social media wasn't interesting enough

he really wanted to resist finding out what kind of meal(s) you wanted to prepare, so he went into his room to try and spend time by playing some games on his nintendo

he caught some fish in acnh

fought some beasts in monster hunter rise

at a point, he even considered asking jake to play some fifa with him, but jay realised that there would be no way he'd be playing fifa with jake on your anniversary!!!!!

so he gave up resisiting

and put his most convincing apologetic-puppy-face and started making his way to the kitchen

he came at kind of the right time bc he saw you holding a baking pan that emitted steam, but you had nowhere to put it

out of habit, he wanted to walk up to you and help out, but halfway to you he closed his eyes bc you were holding the surprise meal!!!

he didnt want to ruin it

so he squeezed his eyes shut

"do you need help, baby?" he asked and you turned around to see him closing his eyes with all his might

even his nose srunched up, he looked adorable

and then you thought, seeing him come around,

maybe it would be more fun if this time around, jay was the one helping you out

he still wouldn't do the whole cooking process by himself, but he'd be able to take part

and preparing for you anniversary wasn't that fun alone

(you still wanted to decorate the dining table by yourself though, because you wanted to impress jay with your aesthetic decorating abilities)

"yes, please come here"

"can i open my eyes?" he asked, just to make sure

"sure. cooking isn't that fun without you :("

he grinned, and strode over

mr. long legs didnt have to run to be next to you in three seconds

he helped you by putting away a few ingredients and used containers to make space for the baking pan on one of the counters

you put the pan down and were about to turn around to fill jay in with the meal plan you had going, but you were caught in a backhug

he nuzzled his head into yours and circled his arms around your middle

neither of you could help the satisfied grin that came across your faces

you still had the oven mittens on, so you turned around to hold jay's cheeks in your warm mitten-covered hands

his eyes held a special adoration for you when he noticed how hard you were working for this special event, and he was vv moved that you tried to do everything alone

"i feel bad that you've done so much without me helping you with anything" he pouted again

"aww, jay, i was the one who insisted on doing stuff alone." you rubbed your noses together. contrary to your warmed up nose, his was a little cold.

"still-"

"you always do everything i could ask for me, it's only natural that i want to pay you back for your efforts, so it's okay. you can be my helper though if you'd like to. i miss you in the kitchen."

"i miss you tooo!! i'll gladly be of help any way i can."

"alright, now let's get this dinner done."

there were a few kisses and loving gazes exchanged, but you split up a little and continued the work

ofc, you only gave jay some minimal tasks, but he still kept you company, so both of you were satisfied.

and that's how you and jay had an amazing and romantic anniversary dinner <33

JAKE !%

you went over to jake's to officially meet layla

weirdly enough, you met jake's parents before you met layla

because layla lived with jake's family in australia and when his parents came to visit, they didn't bring layla with them the first few times

but jake got tired of the long-distance relationship with his lovely puppy

so he asked his parents to bring layla and let him take care of her in his own apartment

they agreed, because they knew how much jake missed his baby (his other baby aside from you)

you couldn't wait for the day layla came to the country

you've seen tons of photos and videos of her and found her an angel by what jake has told and shown you

it was only natural that you and layle were preoccupied with each other when you two first met

you entered jake's apartment and a glowing ball of fur greeted you curiously

at first, she was a little wary, and went up to sniff you

jake made sure you smelled like him "to make layla more comfy", but really, he just wanted to cuddle you before heading over to his (he even made you wear one of his favorite hoodies - not like you minded it or anything, you loved his clothes)

then layla started happily wagging her tail and even licked your hand once or twice

"see, layla, they are your other parent, we are a complete family now"

you flushed a little at jake's words

him and you being parents together 😳

to layla, but still, the idea made you 🥰🥰🥰

it was adorable, made your heart do a little boom-boom

you and the pup instatly clicked, layla sensed comfort in you and wouldn't stop draping herself all over your lap, switching back and forth between bringing you her favorite toys and just asking for pets

jake's heart sung when he saw how layla accepted you and how much fun you had with her

after he called layla's attention so that you could both play with her, layla brought her toy once to jake, then kept wanting to play with you

jake faked being hurt

he clutched at his chest where his heart was and cried out "my child, how could you betray me"

layla didn't really mind jake giving his best at acting hurt, she was focused on pulling a rope with you

"some children like their other parents more, that's just how it is" you teased with a smile

"this is unfair"

some time passed and you wanted to take a break from goofing around

even layla was laying down between you and jake, panting a little heavily

"jakey" you called out

"yes, my one and only love?"

"would you like to watch something?" you didn't show it, but you kind of overheated from jake using his sappy names on you, but you liked it

"yeah, i'm down!"

you and jake were getting ready to cuddle up in front of the couch, on the fluffy rug jake had on the floor, when layla decided to butt in between you two

jake was a little taken aback, but he thought he didn't mind not being glued to your hip for a little while

you two still held hands, so it wasn't like layla prevented you two from having skinship

there was just one little problem

halfway through the show you had chosen, layla, instead of getting drowsy like you and jake, thought she was in need of some pets

you started losing focus on the movie, because layla nosed your hand

so you started petting her, and you even let go of jake's hand to help layla into your lap

jake saw how you weren't paying attention but this was vincenzo!! and he wanted to show you one of his fav scenes ;-(

so he kept peeking at you to see if you're going to watch the show again

but you kept squishing layla in your hands (she enjoyed it dw)

so he leaned his head on you shoulder and whined a little in your ear

"baby, look, this is one of the most fun scenes"

you glanced up, but didn't really react

so jake got a little bit upset, because you paid layla more attention than him

he stopped the show and started frowning at you

"what's the matter?" you looked up, when you didn't hear the sounds of the tv anymore

"love me toooooo, layla's been hogging your attention all day :( "

"jakey baby, i just met her today, that's why i'm all over her" you smiled at your boyfriend. he was cute when he was needy like this.

"but still,,, i'm layla's father, i deserve just as much pets and cuddles as she does!"

"alright, alright, c'mere" you repositioned layla, so that she was next to you and patted your thighs.

jake happily accepted the invitation to lay in your lap, and grinned up at you

you started carding your fingers through his soft locks, and he sighed a little in relief

at his adorable face, you couldn't help but press a big smooch onto his cheek, which made him even giddier

"you could be layla's brother, you know. you resemble a puppy too."

"so i've been told." he hummed and reached for the remote to resume vincenzo.

"so..." you spoke up after a while " you into petting, huh?" you teased.

"shut up, i said that in the heat of the moment."

"the heat, you say..."

"STOP"

SUNGHOON !%

sunghoon isn't too big on pda usually

he just liked to keep intimate touches between you two

so both of you were content with "just" holding hands when walking in to the café you had your date at

you two decided to sit on the opposite sides of the table, beacuse you liked staring into each others eyes lovingly or what 😁

you liked seeing him blush when you said something corny

and he liked seeing the facial expressions you made when trying new cakes or beverages

you two were discussing what to try that day when a young waiter came to take your order

he looked a little flushed and stumbled over his words a few times

you giggled at his clumsiness, not because you made fun of him but because you found it endearing

sunghoon was glaring at the boy a little

he noticed your reaction to the waiter of course

and he wanted to make sure the boy knew sunghoon was your boyfriend for some reason 🙄

since sunghoon kind of gave the waiter the silent treatment, you were the one who engaged in conversation with him

"do you have any recommendations? we would like to try something new"

"oh, have you ordered our special spibling menu yet? it's very popular!" the waiter's blush was obvious as he smiled at you.

"special... sibling menu?" sunghoon muttered, rather baffled at the assumption.

"yes, you two look like a lovely pair of siblings!" the boy exclaimed, seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that you two were a pair, but not a sibling one 😫

"we're actually not related to each other that way" you quickly explained ", we're a couple."

sunghoon was a little more satisfied with your answer, but he was still a little grumpy at the waiter's obvious liking to you.

"oh.. excuse me" the boy cleared his throat " i would recommend you today's caramel latte and cake combo for sale. you can choose a cake of your choice"

you ended up ordering one of that and an iced americano for sunghoon

"you need to cool down, hoon. nothing happened."

sunghoon didn't waste any time plopping in the seat right next to you

"did you see that? he was literally looking at you with heart eyes." he muttered.

he lay his head on your shoulder with a frown, and kept staring at the boy.

he was a little hesitant, but gained confidence when he saw the waiter stealing a glance at you two again.

"it's okay, he knows we're together and i only want you."

at this, sunghoon's face heated up, and you could feel his warming cheeks on your neck

you started smiling and sunghoon finally looked at you

you brought up a hand to tuck a few strands of hair out of his eyes, then he gently held your hand in his and pressed a kiss on your finger

he conveyed his reply without words: "i only want you too."

he calmed down after he sat next to you and you reassured him

in the end, you were able to enjoy a peaceful café date (with sunghoon becoming a little more comfortable of showing skinship in public)

a/n: ik hoon's is shorter, but i'll make up for it next time 😫🙏
