• “do you want me to take care of him?”
• kyungsoo’s voice is calm as he sits across from you in the kitchen, late-night coffee untouched on the island counter
• “no, it’s ok. plus you know if it was legal i could right hook him myself.”
• you flex your arm and kyungsoo cracks a half smirk, eyes big and brown from behind his squared frame glasses
• sehun appears from his room and groans, rubbing his head as he takes kyungsoo’s untouched cup and swigs it down
• “ew! why are you two drinking caffeine at one in the morning!”
• he sputters as he slams the cup down and kyungsoo looks apathetically at the splashes of coffee that make their way onto his tshirt
• you give him a sympathetic look as you tell sehun to go back to bed - he’s your roommate and you know he and kyungsoo get along like a cat and a dog would
• “fine. by the way - did your jerk of an ex return your stuff yet?”
• you wave your hand and shrug
• “no, he just texted me that he threw it all out by accident.”
• sehun groans with a hand on his hip, mumbling about how in between your things he’s pretty sure your ex also took his copy of some video game
• he makes himself a glass of water and disappears again and you and kyungsoo are once again left alone together
• best friends since high school - he was the only person you could think to call when you’d gotten the infuriating text, along with a number of other rude things your ex had decided to divulge
• he had no qualms about driving down here in the dead of night
• he has work tomorrow, but he lies when you ask and says he doesn’t
• you lie and say you don’t either because you want more time with him, regardless of this ex drama or not
• because
• well
• you’re both in love with each other and it’s so painfully obvious to everyone with eyeballs but you two.
• not even when you were voted cutest couple by your peers and brushed it off as a prank
• not when all through college your partners had brought up the other as a constant wedge between your relationships
• not even when your own parents would mistakingly ask if you and kyungsoo were planning on moving in together finally
• if there were divine signs in this world, you and kyungsoo were recklessly passing them by
• and willful ignorance couldn’t even cut it at this point
• not when the world seemed to be holding up a neon sign with arrows aimed at your heads flashing: soulmates!
• “i just wish i could do something to get back at him though, i know revenge is the low road but…”
• you huff and rest your elbows on the island as kyungsoo takes his phone out and places it in front of you
• “i have an idea. you haven’t texted him back, have you?”
• he doesn’t blink and you shake your head
• “no, plus my read receipts are off.”
• “then i think my plan might work. it is a little bit risky though.”
• kyungsoo has always been the levelheaded one of you two, actually, he’s outwardly more levelheaded and calm.
• you’ve known him so well that you have seen the occasional, rare outbursts of emotion that are otherwise always hidden
• so when he explains his plan - you’re surprised by how sly and also how intimate it is
• you had expected kyungsoo to say something about reporting your ex’s instagram or tracing his IP to block it
• when he’d said
• “why don’t we take a pretend couple photo together and post it now. your ex will think i’m at your place.”
• it had taken you a whole ten seconds to realize why posting such a photo at this time of the day would probably send your ex into a frenzy
• kyungsoo even motions to himself and says he’ll take his shirt off for added effect
• “i could never ask you to post something like that on your account….”
• he pushes his glasses up
• “i don’t care, social media doesn’t impact my daily life anyway.”
• swallowing the sudden dryness in your throat you are aware of how tiny the walls around you two seem
• like they’re pushing you together by an unseen magnetic force
• “o-ok.”
• kyungsoo gets up, he flicks his eyes toward sehun’s room but the door is shut tightly, and he pads softly toward your door
• he’s been in your room more than any other friend, he could probably find his way around in complete darkness
• and he does - sitting on your bed as you come in after him, flicking the light on
• “should i - should i like mess my hair up or something?”
• you mean it as a lighthearted quip about the already awkward situation, but kyungsoo pulls you toward him and in between his knees
• his hands come up and tussle some of your hair to make it look disheveled.
• “take off my glasses”
• you reach out and notice the little tremor in your hand as you slip them off
• his face is clean and unchanging
• has he always been this handsome? something seems even more hot about him after he got discharged.
• you place the glasses carefully on your nightstand
• “so how do we do this?”
• kyungsoo lets his hands splay on the back of your thighs, as quickly as you were standing you end up sitting in his lap - legs wrapped around his waist as he lifts you into a comfortable position.
• you position your arm around his neck and then apologize, but he doesn’t react
• instead he shrugs out of the shirt with your help and loops his finger through the strap of the tank you’re wearing
• “you don’t have to take it off, we can just push the straps down”
• the moment is so clearly special, close, and personal
• even if it’s supposed to be some elaborate laugh in your ex’s face. there is not question about the palpable energy in the room.
• but you and kyungsoo keep along with the act that it means nothing
• that it means nothing when you’re pressed against the skin of his chest and kyungsoo is cheek to cheek with you, lips close to your temple
• he gives it a small kiss, the kind that flutters something deep in the cavern of your chest, just as you take a photo with his phone
• when you both look at it - you don’t make a move off his lap and kyungsoo’s hand that is close to the curve of your hip doesn’t budge either
• the picture is so realistic you blurt out
• “we really look like a couple.”
• the silence simmers and simmers and simmers
• kyungsoo doesn’t try to leave, you don’t tell him to go
• the clock on his home screen ticks closer and closer to two a.m.
• “we should be one.”
• kyungsoo turns his attention completely on you, your hand on his shoulder curls a little and your nails feel good against him
• “we should be what?”
• you ask, feeling dumber than you have ever in your life
• “be a couple.”
• kyungsoo uses the hand that’s not holding you ontop of him to unlock his phone, navigating with ease to his profile and without any warning, he uploads the photo
• captions it with nothing but a heart emoji
• and posts it
• you think you’re going to faint and fall forward into his warm embrace
• his phone starts to buzz, even this late at night a photo like that catches the attention of everyone following him
• he doesn’t look at the notifications - looking at you instead
• “what do you say?”
• the words don’t come to your brain - all these years of pinning in silence
• all this time spent pretending you weren’t destined to be together to your own annoyance, his, and everyone elses
• you see a comment pop up on the post from sehun’s profile
• “since when does he follow you?”
• you mumble and kyungsoo opens it with a swipe of his thumb
• oohsehun: thank god. but ewwwww don’t bang with me in the house!
• oohsehun: also @real__pcy you owe me ten dollars i told you once they break up with their boyfriend these two are going to see the light and finally get together
• “see”
• kyungsoo hums
• “everyone already thinks we’re in love - so why don’t we just be in love?”
• you move in his lap, acutely aware of the friction you both create like this
• “do you want to be in love with me?”
• you murmur, heartbeat starting to ring in your ears as you wait for him to answer
• kyungsoo licks his lips and takes in a deep breath
• “i don’t have a choice, i have always been in love with you.”
• you think your heart stops - just for a second - because you can’t hear it anymore
• suddenly everything is full of kyungsoo
• and you push him back onto your sheets to press your mouth open and hot to his
• beside your bodies his phone pings with more and more notifications
• most of them are congratulations and exclamations that mirror sehun’s.
• one is an angry stupid comment from your ex, but kyungsoo and you don’t have to do anything.
• sehun takes care of that in a single reply for you two
• (everyone agrees with him and by the time you and kyungsoo wake up later, your ex has deleted the comment like the embarrassment he is)
