when kian scoots closer, jun can feel the nervousness seep in. not in a sense that heโs genuinely nervous - as his roommate, he probably knows jun in a way most donโt. instead, itโs the kind of nervousness that leaves jun feeling a little lightheaded, and he shifts a bit closer anyway. wanting to see the pages was an excuse, but not the reason.ย โiโd like that,โ he says, his tone soft as he considered the thought, and he was naive enough to think it was a genuine possibility. itโs difficult for him to concentrate on planning anything, in all honesty, and planning has never been a strength of junโs to begin with. he keeps stealing glances at kian when he should be looking at the pages, but his focus keeps slipping. he laughs softly when kian knocks his feet into junโs, and again once he complains about the quiet.ย โif you didnโt want quiet, this is the worst place you couldโve picked,โ he teases. he barely notices that the page turns, his attention on kian almost entirely now. as soon as he considers jun, and what he wants, heโs thrown off.ย โoh, uhโฆโ itโs almost as though heโs not asked about what he wants very often.ย โi think camping would be fun,โ he answers, on his side now as he faces kian.ย โjustโฆ getting lost in the woods somewhere,โ he adds with a sheepish smile.ย
โcamping?โ he quirks a brow, genuinely interested.ย โi didnโt take you for the camping type.โ he admits, propping his head up with his elbow.ย โitโs really not all that fun, but the company makes it better. see, camping with my family? worst possible decision. a fat zero out of ten. but, camping with you? definitely somewhere like an eight out of ten.โ he teases with a smile. even though itโs almost completely dark aside from the flashlight, kianโs eyes have adjusted and, even through it, he can make out the planes of seojunโs face.ย โsounds like the setup to an extremely cliche horror movie.โ he points out.ย โone that we wouldnโt survive because, oneโโ he holds up a finger,ย โweโre not white. and, twoโโ he holds up another,ย โweโre not straight. those would both get us axed in the first ten minutes.โ he explains, a certain glint in his eye thatโs hidden by the darkness.ย โor, well, i guess i can only speak for myself. maybe youโre exclusively into girls. i dunno.โ he shrugs, settling onto his back again as he reopens the book.ย โfor all i know, you could be living a double life; fucking girls right here on this table in the library.โ he says, breathing a light laugh through his nose.
โanother one! hell yeah this game is my fucking BITCH!โ casper exclaimed, throwing his long arms in the arm in celebration. casper was a very athletic person in general, so tossing a ball at stacked milk jugs was childโs play. he quickly apologized to the carny in charge of restacking bottles, feeling somewhat guilty for clearing house of prizes. sure, it was 3 plushies thus far but casper was a competitive soul. once he found something he was good at, he was wiling to milk it for all it had. no pun intended.โanyone want a plushie? itโs on me. i already have two.โ he called out to anyone who heโd startled with his ridiculously loud celebration.ย
kian wants to rip his hair out strand by strand, not being built to withstand the kind of activity that comes with events like this. sure, his facade slips easily into place these days, but itโs so exhausting to keep up with for long periods of time and with so many different people. still, he humors those around him and forces a smile onto his face.ย โyouโd have a great future in the olympics if only they had the milk bottle game.โ he teases with a small smile, popping a piece of cotton candy into his mouth. itโs all a little too sugary for his taste, but he loves the way it melts on his tongue.ย โoh, wow? a plushie? for free? so generous.โ he continues in a joking manner, craning his neck to check out the row of prizes. heโll probably toss it the moment he gets the chance, but heโll take it anyway. hell, he could even re-gift it to moonsu or something.ย โi want that one.โ he points, his finger angled at the bunny.ย โyou good at any other games, carnival boy? maybe we could make it into a little challenge.โ
KIAN: did you send me flowers today? KIAN: i mean ik it sounds like smth youโd do KIAN: but you can never be too sure KIAN: you might have competitionย ๐
for moonsu, it wasnโt unusual to gain a strange look or hear someone tell him he needed to tone himself down. which he really didnโt mind - he tried his best to keep his personality as something people felt comfortable with. he was all too willing to bend himself and shape into something that made the other happy. it wasnโt until he heard kian encouraging him that a wave of affection rushed through him. it was like he remembered why he was so deeply invested in him to begin with. kian let moonsu be himself, as embarrassing as it was at times, and it earned him another quick kiss.ย โthen youโre in luckโฆ i mightโve lied. i definitely have, like, double that to give. if those bitches hadnโt cut me off, iโd still be up there talking about you. they didnโt even let me get into how much i love your face. super rude, thatโs my favorite part,โ he complained with a furrowed brow.ย โi can tell you now, though?โ it wasnโt like moonsu didnโt already find every opportunity to talk about kian to whoever would listen to him. it was shocking that in all that, he still never seemed to be enough to find out about kianโs antics beyond him. as much fun as moonsu was havingโฆ the second he heard that kian wanted to leave, he was nodding along, playing for his drinks and turning to casually kiss kianโs forehead, his arm tangling with his and taking a tight hold to his hand.ย โokay, letโs go,โ he murmured, leading him out and sucking in a sharp breath as they stepped into the cold air.ย โyou did meanโฆ you meant my place, right?โ he gestured to himself, his head cocked to the side.ย โi think if we do that, i might even let you drink a littleโฆโ he leaned closer to whisper,ย โbut donโt tell, okay? iโm a responsible adult, taking care of my baby.โย ย
kian raises his other hand, hiding his smile behind a fist, as he giggles like a little schoolgirl. sometimes he really gets on his own nerves with shit like this, but he knows he has to do it because moonsu is super receptive to it. he just has to remind himself that itโs a small price to pay in the long run.ย โmy face is your favorite part?โ he quirks a brow, not so subtly shifting in his seat to spread his legs a little wider. call it manspreading or call it getting a point across.ย โyou sure about that? kinda shallow.โ he smiles. the happiness actually reaches his eyes when moonsu swiftly pays for their drinks and places a kiss to his forehead. he closes his eyes briefly, relishing in the feel, as he allows himself to be dragged out into the cool, night air.ย โof course, what else would i mean?โ he knocks his shoulder against the otherโs playfully. as the wind whips around them, he tugs his jacket closer around his body, and squeezes moonsuโs hand.ย โare you trying to get me drunk?โ he questions, lightheartedly.ย โmy lips are sealed, babe. donโt worry.โ he grins, his cheeks hurting from how much he does the action.ย โi wouldnโt mind having a drink, to be honest. itโs been... a week. might be nice to wind down a little, you know?โ he says.ย โi mean, there are other ways we can wind down too, but weโve got all night.โ he winks.ย
annya finishes her handful of popcorn before answering his question,ย โi really love clue, it was my favorite. my dad would always win but he taught me his strategies and one time i actually guessed it on, like, the third round and my mom refused to play that game for a solid month.โ she couldnโt help but laugh at the memories, soon longing to be back home and spend a whole day playing games and be around her parents. her life may have started off rough but she got lucky in the end to find people who finally cared about her.ย โiโll have to make you play with me one day,โ she smiles as her fingers trace through his hair before settling on his neck. to bring kian into a tradition she held so dear to her, she couldnโt help but grow a little excited with the idea. what if he came to meet her parents one day, and they got along so well, and soon he was invited to all the game nights and everything was justโฆperfect.ย โunless, uh, thatโs too childish, of course. probably sounds lame,โ she tries to wave it off with a laugh before reaching back for a few more bites of popcorn.
his next statement makes her raise an eyebrow before shaking her head,ย โyouโre not boring at all. if anything, my picture is probably right next to the word boring in the dictionary.โ maybe it was her own fault for feeling that way in the first place. there were plenty of times she could have gone out, hit up some random party and gained some regrettable experience, but at least it would be something. she chose to stay in her room and work on her designs, follow the rules and only hear about such experiences through the gossip vine at school. sheโs pulled away from her thoughts one more, a horrible habit she does quite often, as kian peppers her with kisses that causes her smile to grow far too wide, soon happily kissing him back. this time, however, she pulls him back in, letting their lips collide for a little bit longer and a little bit stronger. there was no denying how kissing him always made swarm of butterflies fill her stomach, his lips almost like poison that she simply couldnโt get enough of. but soon sheโs pulling away because maybe she was coming off too strong too fastโฆย โcan i ask you a stupid question?โ
something akin to fondness tugs at the remnants of his heart when annya talks about spending time with her family and he vaguely wonders if his eyes ever light up like hers do. he wonders if thereโs anything heโll ever love that much. he finds that his body easily relaxes into her little touches though and he doesnโt even have to force a smile of adoration onto his face as he listens to her speak. maybe there is hope for him after all, he thinks. his brows nearly shoot into his hairline at her suggestion and heโs sort of taken aback. heโs been invited to family dinners before from many other partners, but heโs never once considered it. not until now. his features must betray him in that moment, conveying the fear that he feels, because annya is soon backtracking; sheโs soon looking completely unsure of herself. and he hates it.ย โno, noโโ he shakes his head,ย โnot at all. itโs not lame or childish.โ he assures her with a light laugh. heโs honored, in fact, but he knows that annyaโs family would hate him. the real him, that is. but, then, he soon realizes that heโs jumping the gun and getting worked up over nothing. sheโs inviting him to play with her, not her family. he deflates.
he quickly composes himself though (itโs what heโs good at) and beams at her.ย โif it means anything at all, youโre probably the most interesting person iโve ever met.โ he states.ย โyouโre, dare i say, not like other girls.โ he teases, smiling into their kiss. he isnโt one to let anyone truly take the reigns when it comes to his relationships, but he lets her. she moves at her own pace and when she deepens their kiss, he reciprocates happily. heโs debating in his head whether or not he should just go for it when her warmth disappears just as quickly as it came. he hates that he nearly sighs in frustration, but he blames it on him being a young dude. his body isnโt always exactly willing to cooperate. despite that, heโs quick to answer,ย โanything.โ with a nod.ย โi mean, iโm not sure iโll be able to answer but iโll try.โ he smiles encouragingly.ย โand iโm sure itโs not stupid, donโt say that. nothing you say is stupid.โ he says, making sure that she has his undivided attention. his breath is trapped in his throat though, unsure of what sheโs getting at and unsure if he can even tell the truth.
k so ik i said iโd be on to do replies but........ i slept a LONG ass timeย KSKSKSKKSK then didnโt do literally anything cause ima lazy ass beetch and now iโm feelin like uh shit? lmao but i will try to do replies in between classes and after love yโall!
