The prompt I wanna use this for is this
âI never told you how I felt because I didnât want to ruin what we had⊠And I was scared if we got together then broke up, Iâd lose you as both a friend and a lover. I donât think I could live with myself if that ever happened.â

Me joining Wooyoung and Yunho squealing because it was SO cutee. Byeol being the ultimate matchmaker is just đđđ
Our Little Star



Summary: While walking on the way to a pet store to look for a kitten you want to adopt, you trace your hand over your soulmate tattoo on your wrist, the black ink reading one little word on your skin. Byeol. You stare at it, like youâve done countless times in your life, wondering if youâll ever meet your soulmate one day.
AU: non-idol, soulmate Pairings: Choi San x reader Warnings: none Word count: 2.1k
A/N: words cannot describe how many people I would kill for Byeol. I love her, I adore, I want to hold and kiss her, she is the most precious baby out there. San I love you but I WILL steal your cat. (jk Iâm stealing you both-)

The world was full of different ways for people to meet their soulmate.
Some had it easy. Seeing each other in their dreams, able to communicate their names and location to the other. Dreamers had it the easiest by far, followed by Inkers. Inkers had the ability to communicate to their soulmate by writing on their skin, the words and marks appearing on the othersâ skin, allowing them to write down names and numbers and locations. Visionaries were the third lucky ones, getting to see a glimpse of what their soulmate was seeing every now and then, taking in the scenery of where they were, what they were doing.
Others werenât so lucky. Stringers had that little red thread attached to their pinkies, leading them to their soulmate, but never knowing how close they were to them. For all they knew, that little red string could run across an entire continent or over an ocean. All they knew was what direction their soulmate was in. Phrasers and Tattooists also had it hard. They could go their entire lives without ever meeting their soulmate, hoping to find someone with a matching tattoo, or listening desperately for the words that matched the ink on their skin. Colorists were among that class, tooâtheir world monotone and grey until they finally laid eyes upon their soulmate, their world suddenly bursting into color the moment they found their other half.
Then there were the unlucky ones. Counters, those with timers on their wrists, were ones you always felt bad for. While some times Counters had their timers counting down until the moment they met their soulmate, others had timers that counted down until the moment their soulmate died. There were those who felt their soulmateâs pain, or shared the same wounds as them. Those who bloomed flowers from their skin, flowers that matched the emotions of what their soulmate was feeling. Signs you did in fact have a soulmate but were never given any indication of how they would know they even met them.
You were in the class of Phrasers, your soulmate mark being the first thing you would hear your soulmate say. Some had whole sentences, but you? You had a single word. Byeol. You remembered when you were a child how you obsessed over the word, looking up the definition and seeing it was of Korean origin. So growing up, you learned to speak Korean, studying it every moment you could, until you were fluent in it by the age of thirteen. Your parents encouraged you, just as eager as you to meet your soulmate, and when you hit the age of eighteen, they tearfully drove you to the airport so you could catch your flight to South Korea.
While they supported your decision, they still were sad to see you leaving to live in another country.
It wasnât like you didnât visitâyou did every chance you could, which was usually every other year, but you were still their only child, and they missed always seeing you in person.
But here you were, nearly seven years later, and you still hadnât met your soulmate. While it did dampen your spirits, you decided to stop trying so hard to find them. Not because you were quitting and giving up on the idea, no. What was the point of stressing over it? Youâd leave it to Fateâif you found them, hey, great! If not, then, well, that didnât mean you couldnât start a romance with someone else.
You glanced down at the word again, fingers tracing over the ink as you walked into the pet store. You had recently moved into a new apartment so you could be closer to your job, and you were beyond ecstatic to discover it was a pet friendly home. Wasting no time, you had run out of the house first thing after breakfast on your day off to get yourself a new little companion. While you were originally planning to get one from a shelter, it was on the other side of the city, and you didnât feel up for the long journey.
Instantly you went to the pets section, face lighting up at the cute animals in their enclosures. You went by the birds, taking a moment to admire their pretty plumage and beautiful songs, and then past the fluffy bunnies. You passed by mice next, stopping to watch them run through their little tubes, and then stopped to watch one of the hamsters run on his wheel. Of course you had to stop and look at the puppies, cooing at how adorable they were, watching them tumble over each other as they played. You had thought about getting a puppy, but in the end you just couldnât pass up the idea of getting a kitten.
Which was why you were now in front of the cat enclosures. You took the time to look over each cat, aww-ing over their adorable little faces and fuzzy paws that reached out past the bars of their cages. There were some adult cats, a pretty calico catching your eye as you walked by, and then a cute tabby who seemed hyped on caffeine as he bounced off the walls, smacking around one of his toys and making you laugh. Then you reached the kitten area, and your heart melted.
They were at different stages of growth, some bordering on young teen, while others still seemed to wobble a little as they stood. One kitten in particular caught your eye. It was a siamese, large blue eyes staring up at you as it rolled over on its back with a long stretch and yawn, having just woke up from its nap.
One of the employees approached you, a wide smile pulling at his lips. You glanced at his name tag. Wooyoung. âHello! Did you see someone you wanted to go say hi to?â
You nodded, pointing at the little siamese kitten. âYeah, if thatâs okay?â
The employee nodded. âYeah, of course! Let me take you in.â Another employee passed the two of you, tall and blonde as he approached another customer that had also been looking at the cat display. You followed Wooyoung to the door where he unlocked it, letting you to get a closer look at the cats. As you entered, a barrage of mewls filled the room, and you couldnât help but coo at how adorable they all sounded. âHey guys, we have a visitor! Be on your best behaviors, okay?â Another series of meows filled the air, making the employee grin. âAnyway, go right on ahead and take a look! Iâll be right here to answer any questions you have!â
You thanked Wooyoung, starting with the cages at the back first. You heard the door open again, glancing over to see that same tall employee from earlier enter. âHey, Yunho! Oh, another person interested in getting aâ oh, itâs you again!â You tuned out their conversation, putting all your focus on the cats before you. An orange tabby, curled up into a ball, softly chittered in its sleep, and you nearly had to bite your fist from cooing as to not wake it up from its dream.
You looked over each cat, making your way slowly back to the siamese from earlier, until finally you were standing before its cage. It meowed softly at you, kneading the soft pillow it was sitting on. âSheâs only been here a week, that one. She was left at our door in the middle of the night with her siblings in a box. The others have all found homes, sheâs the only one left now.â
âAww, thatâs sad. At least they werenât left on the side of the road or something,â you murmured. Wooyoung nodded.
âYeah, Iâm glad we could find them all good homes.â You heard quiet murmuring from behind you, the employee Yunho talking to his customer. Wooyoung gave a hum. âIf you had to name her, what name would you give?â
You thought for a second, looking back into her big blue eyes. You swore you could see stars in her eyes, a hint of a pink galaxy, and one word came to mind. You smiled softly.
âByeol.â
âByeol.â
Your eyes widened, turning around to the other person who had uttered the word. Your focus landed on the other customer, his expression full of shock just like yours. At the same time you both looked down at your wrists, and with a quiet gasp you noticed that your soulmate tattoo was now red. This was him. This was your soulmate. After years of searching, you had finally found him.
You locked eyes with him, taking in his features as he did the same with you. His eyes reminded you of a catâs, and at the corners of his excited smile were two adorable little dimples that you couldnât look away from. His hair was pink, and you wondered if that had been the pink you had seen reflected in the kittenâs eyes earlier. You never thought youâd find someone who could rock pink hair so well, and it seemed you were proven wrong in the best way.
âHi,â he breathed, smile growing, turning his eyes into cute little crescents. It was an absolutely adorable sight, your heart doing a little flip at it. You were sure your cheeks were a light pink, matching his, and you barely registered the fact that Wooyoung and Yunho were quietly squealing to themselves while watching the two of you.
âHi,â you replied, cheeks hurting from how hard you were smiling. âSo, Byeol, huh?â
The male grinned, chuckling lightly as he looked over at the kitten. âYeah, I swear I saw stars in her eyes.â
âMe tooâŠâ You faded off, and the male sheepishly scratched at his neck.
âSorry. San, my name is Choi San.â He held his hand out to you, and you spotted the red tattoo on his inner wrist. Byeol. You smiled again, taking his hand, noting how small and soft it was, and how perfectly yours fit in it.
You gave him your name, his eyes lighting up. âWhat a pretty name,â he murmured, cheeks flushing at realizing he said that out loud. You laughed, finding his behavior sweet, warmth blooming in your chest at knowing youâd probably get along with San just fine. He cleared his throat, motioning to the kitten. âSince youâre adopting her, I am demanding visiting rights.â
Amused, you fought down another smile, raising an eyebrow. âOh? Demanding visiting rights?â
âThatâs correct. Iâve had my eye on that little baby since yesterday, but it seems you unfortunately beat me to adopting her. So, therefore, I am demanding visiting rights.â
You gave a thoughtful hum, pretending to think over the decision. You could see San trying to fight down a smile as well, loving how you were playing along. You tapped your chin in thought. âHm, I think I can allow that. How does Thursday sound?â
âPerfect,â he answered. He pulled out his phone, holding it out to you. âIâm going to need your contact information to know where the visiting rights will be held, and how to get ahold of you for said visits.â
You held out your phone for him to take as you took his. âOf course.â The both of you exchanged contact information, handing each other back your phones, and you couldnât fight off the smile any more. âSan, itâs been an absolute pleasure meeting you.â
âIt really has been. Iâm so glad I decided to wait until today to come back for Byeol.â He offered you a shy smile. âIâll⊠text you later, thenâŠ?â
âPlease, any time you want.â Your fingers traced over your tattoo. âIâll see you Thursday the, Mister Choi. With Byeol in tow, of course.â
He laughed, the sound like music to your ears, and you decided you wanted to spend the rest of your life listening to it. He rubbed at his neck again, your eyes flickering over and spotting the smattering of freckles along his skin. Everything about him was so cute. âAlright then. Iâll see you Thursday.â San gave you a little wave as he left the room, and you waved back, watching him leave until he was out of sight. As you gave a happy sigh, the two employees beside you gave quiet squeals.
âOh my god we must be matchmakers, I have never seen two soulmates meet before in my life!â
âThat was so cute, I wanted to scream! You two are so cute!â You blushed at their words, ducking your head as you gave a shy laugh, thanking them. Wooyoung cooed over the moment a little longer before finally moving on to the adoption process for Byeol.
As you walked out the store with your new little friend, you found yourself smiling as you looked at the notification on your phone.
Sannie Hey~
Sannie Be careful with the little star now! Sheâs our fragile little baby after all!
You shook your head with a laugh.
You couldnât wait until Thursday came around.

A/N: heeey! Don't worry, I'm still working on Guardians! It's just longer than I expected it to be, and motivation to write has been a little low lately. But! Here's my first tumblr post! Hope it was alright, please leave some feedback if you liked it!

Masterlist

âHey.â You nodded at Peter as you wandered into his room. The hair on Peters neck stood up on high alert now that a stranger was in his bedroom. He shut his laptop and swiveled in his desk chair to follow what you were doing. He watched you walk over to his Lego shelf as if youâd been in his room a hundred times and admired his Lego titanic.
âUm, hello. Can I help you?â Peter asked.
âDid you build this?â You asked in reply.
âOh, yeah. I did. It took me almost a full month.â
âWow. Itâs huge.â You said and gently ran your hand along the side of it.
âI know. Itâs kinda cramped in here, though. I want to display it in the living room.â Peter told you. His tingle was telling him you werenât a threat so now he just saw you as a pretty girl who had wandered into his room.
âYou totally should display this thing. Itâs awesome. Whatâs stopping you?â You wondered.
âThe family pictures in the way.â Peter laughed dryly.
âPsh. Who needs those?â You joked, making him smile.
âNot me.â Peter played along. âBut my aunt might be just a little upset if I replaced photos of her dead brother and dead husband with my Lego titanic.â
âThatâs nothing. My dad replaced my high school graduation picture with a photo of his dead best friend eating a cheeseburger. Itâs not even a good picture. Itâs blurry and my dads pinky is in the frame.â
âDamn, your graduation picture? Thatâs next level. Either he really loved his best friend or it was a really good cheeseburger.â
âProbably both.â You shrugged. âUncle Tony knew all the best cheeseburger spots in Queens.â
âWait, Tony? Like Tony Stark?â Peter asked and stood up from his desk chair.
âYeah, Tony Stark. Oh, thatâs right. I forgot you knew him.â You said and tapped the side of your head.
âYour dads best friend.â Peter said to himself. âWait a second. Are youâŠâ
âY/n Hogan. Your aunt invited my dad and I over for dinner.â You said and you held your hand out.
âWait, youâre Happyâs daughter? But youâre so pretty.â Peter said in disbelief as he shook your hand.
âWhat?â You laughed.
âI didnât mean that. Iâm sorry. Your dad is a very beautiful man. I can see the resemblance.â Peter quickly followed up.
âSeeing the resemblance is impressive considering I was adopted.â You laughed again and continued looking around his room. You saw his Spiderman suit hanging in the closet and touched it with a fond smile on your face.
âOh God. Can we start over? I feel like I failed at this conversation.â
âYou didnât. I actually think youâre doing a pretty good job talking to me considering the deep lore that runs between us and our mutual acquaintances.â You assured him.
âOh.â He blushed. âThanks.â
âNo problem. So did this thing come with a Lego iceberg?â You asked and pointed to the Lego titanic.
âNo. That wouldâve been perfect. But unfortunately, Lego didnât have a dark sense of humor.â
âBut I do. Do you have any blue legos?â You asked with a devious smile.
âYeah. What are you thinking?â
A few minutes later, you and Peter were sitting on his bedroom floor with his Lego bin between you. You led the conversation, much to Peters delight, as you added onto each others creations. Even though Peter was usually shy and awkward around strangers, he found it very easy to talk to you. Maybe it was because you were already apart of his secret world and he didnât have to lie about anything, or maybe it was just because you got along. Whatever it was, Peter really enjoyed talking to you. You felt more like an old friend rather then a stranger. Happy came into the room after a little while and was surprised to see you already in there.
âOh, there you are. I was looking for you. But I see you found Peter.â Happy said and gave Peter a stern look.
âYou never told me you had a daughter.â Peter playfully scolded him to keep the mood light.
âThatâs because I donât disclose any personal information to teenagers in spandex.â Happy said curtly.
âDad. Be nice.â You whispered harshly.
âWhat are you guys doing in here anyway?â Happy asked as he folded his arms.
âMaking a Lego iceberg for Peters Lego titanic.â You explained and held up what you had built so far.
âInteresting, interesting. Peter, can I talk to you for a second?â Happy said through a fake smile.
âYeah. Sure. Be right back.â He told you before getting up to follow Happy into the hallway.
âWhatâs up?â Peter asked kindly.
âDonât even think about it.â Happy said immediately.
âHuh? Donât think about what?â
âMy daughter. Donât even let it cross your mind. Because if it crosses your mind, Iâll know about it. And if I know about it, Iâm gonna kill you.â
âWait, you think Iâm trying to date your daughter? I just met her. Relax.â Peter laughed.
âNo, I wonât relax. I donât ever want to see my daughter in your bedroom, okay? Thatâs gross. I donât want you getting your horny little nerd germs on her.â
âWe were just playing with legos.â Peter pointed out.
âThatâs always how it starts.â Happy wagged his finger. âI know your type. You lure girls in with your boyish charm because they think youâre safe.â
âI am safe, Happy.â Peter insisted. âYou know me. You know Iâd never break her heart.â
âI know you wonât. Because you wonât get the chance.â
âIâm sorry, but why is it okay for you to date my aunt but not for me to date your daughter?â Peter asked and folded his arms.
âOh, so it has crossed your mind? I knew you were thinking about dating my daughter.â Happy pointed accusingly at him. âI knew it the second I walked into your room. Youâre thinking about her right now, arenât you? Well stop. My daughter is not allowed in your head, okay? Ever. Get her out.â
âI wasnât thinking about dating her until you put the idea into my head. But I kinda want to do it now.â Peter laughed in amusement and looked back at his room where you were.
âDonât you even dare.â Happy whispered and took a step closer to him.
âOr what? Whatâll you do?â Peter challenged him. He didnât even care that much about it, he just wanted to antagonize Happy for his own amusement.
âKill you.â Happy stated like it was obvious. âLike I said.â
âWhat if she likes me? Huh?â Peter smirked. âYou canât tell her not to date me. Thatâll just drive her straight into my arms.â
âThatâs not gonna be a problem because sheâll never like you. Sheâs too smart.â
âIâm a good guy, Happy. Tony knew that. Wouldnât you rather her date a nice, responsible guy that youâve known for years over some random stranger whose intentions might be impure?â
âShe can date a guy I know.â Happy shrugged. âJust not you.â
âWeâll see.â Peter shrugged as well.
âWhat? What does that mean? Weâll see? Weâre not gonna see anything because youâre not dating my daughter.â Happy declared.
âMaybe I will, maybe I wonât.â Peter shrugged again.
âNo, you definitely wonât.â
âHow are you gonna stop it?â Peter asked him.
âWith a gun.â Happy replied. âThat I use to kill you. To death.â
âI donât think your daughter would appreciate you killing her future boyfriend.â Peter said innocently.
âYouâre not her future boyfriend. Youâre not her future anything. But youâre a future dead person if you keep this up.â
âRelax, Happy. Iâm just messing with you. Iâm not gonna date your daughter.â Peter laughed and patted Happyâs shoulder. Just then, you came out of Peters room with the Lego iceberg you had built.
âIâm gonna help May in the kitchen. Maybe Iâll accidentally knock down a few family pictures while Iâm in there.â You said and winked at Peter.
âWhy would you do that?â Happy asked you.
âPeter gets it.â You smiled coyly before disappearing down the hall and into the kitchen. Peter watched you walk away and felt something blossoming in his chest. That simple moment of sweet understanding between you was all he needed to fall head over heels for you.
âHappy?â Peter said without taking his eyes off where you had just been standing.
âYeah?â Happy replied. Peter turned to face him, put his hand on Happyâs shoulder, and smiled sympathetically.
âIâm gonna date your daughter.â
Before Happy could respond, May called everyone in for dinner. Peter and Happy exchanged a look before throwing on smiles so that you and May wouldnât suspect anything. Happy sat across from Peter with you sitting beside him, meaning that every time Peter looked at you, he got a kick under the table from Happy. Similarly, anytime you tried to ask Peter a question or start a conversation with him, Happy cut you off. Peter tried to do the same with you but was always met with a death glare from Happy. The incredibly silent and awkward dinner ended all too soon and Happy could not have taken you out of Peters apartment fast enough. You waved to Peter as Happy pulled you out the door but there was no time for an exchanging of words. What a beautiful wedding jk jk iykyk.
Peter was fully prepared to let his little crush on you go away on its own without any intention of acting on it. He knew it was a bad idea anyway to get involved with the daughter of the head of security, but that didnât stop him from thinking about you from time to time.
âHey Happy. I just wanted to report that I found a lost dog today. But then it ran away again after I returned to to the owner. Iâm starting to think it wanted to be lost. Maybe he met a bunch of stray dogs and felt more at home with them on the streets than he ever did in his ownerâs apartment. What do you think?â Peter asked over FaceTime as he gave Happy his daily report from patrolling the neighborhood.
âKid, I donât care. I never have. You donât need to keep calling me with random updates of what you do on patrol.â Happy told him. In the background of Happyâs video, Peter could see you walking into the room with nothing but a towel wrapped around yourself and your wet hair hanging around your face. He perked up and felt his face heat up at the sight of you.
âIs that Peter?â You asked and walked over to where Happy was sitting.
âNo. Itâs not.â Happy said and tried to shut his laptop.
âHi Peter.â You opened it back up and waved, leaving you with only one hand to hold your towel onto your body. Peter turned bright red as he stared at the screen and felt all dialogue options leave his mind.
âOh, uh, hi.â He stammered. âI didnât see you there. I didnât even know you were home. Howâs it going?â
âPretty good.â You shrugged. âWhat kind of dog was it?â
âWhat?â
âThe dog you found. What breed?â You asked with genuine interest. Peter smiled at you wanting to know and felt his blush deepen.
âChihuahua. His name was Pinto.â
âAw.â You smiled. âThatâs so cute.â
âOh, yeah. Very cute. Very, very cute.â Peters eyes glazed over as he stared at your through the screen. Happy looked back and forth between Peter and you before realizing what Peter was staring at.
âIâm hanging up now.â Happy warned.
âWait-â
The call ended abruptly and Peter was left alone staring at a black screen. If Happy was going to stop him from seeing you, he would going to have to get creative.
A few nights later, Peter formed a new plan. If Happy was gonna date his aunt, he was going to use it to his advantage.
âOopsie. I just accidentally ordered two pizzas instead of one. Silly me. What will we do with all this incoming pizza?â Peter asked as he dramatically scratched the top of his head to make it look like he was thinking.
âI donât know.â May shrugged. âEat a lot of pizza?â
âThatâs a great idea, May. Or, and this is just coming to me now, what if we invite Happy over to eat some? So you guys can have a little date night. He even can bring his daughter. What was her name again? Telulah? Annabeth? Marcy?â
âY/n?â May chuckled and raised her eyebrow.
âRight. Her.â Peter played dumb. âShe probably likes pizza, right?â
âI know what youâre doing, but Iâm gonna go with it anyway because thereâs no way we can eat two pies and I hate wasting food.â May playfully scolded him as she dialed Happyâs number.
Much to Peters delight, you and Happy showed up a few minutes later. You were standing behind your dad with a bag behind your back.
âHey. Thanks for the invite.â Happy said and kissed Mays cheek. You looked at Peter over your dads shoulder and waved.
âNo problem.â May replied. âIt was actually Peters idea.â
âOh, was it?â Happy asked and stared daggers at Peter. Peter shrugged innocently before making eye contact with you. He discreetly nodded towards his bedroom before going to it. You followed after him once the coast was clear.
âHey.â You smiled at him and shut his door behind you.
âHey. Thanks for coming over. Iâm glad you could make it.â Peter played it cool but was screaming on the inside over you being in his room again.
âIâm glad you invited us. I have a present for you but I didnât have any way of getting in touch with you.â
âYou wanna touch me?â Peter said in a low voice as he stared at you with his eyebrows raised.
âWhat was that?â
âI said you have a present for me?â He quickly corrected himself and threw on a smile.
âUh huh. Look what I found.â You held the bag up and pulled out the Lego Super Star Destroyer, a Lego set Peter had dreamed of owning since he was a kid.
âWhat?! You got this for me?â He jumped out of his chair and held the box to read it.
âYeah. You mentioned last time that you always wanted this one. I know youâre a big fan of the movies so I wanted you to have it.â You smiled sheepishly as you stared at him. His childlike excitement and wonderstruck expression made him even cuter than you typically found him. His expression changed suddenly when he realized he could never accept such a costly gift.
âThis set costs a fortune. You really didnât have to do this.â Peter looked apologetic as he looked into your eyes. You laughed a little at how bad he felt and put your hand on top of his.
âItâs okay. I wanted to do it.â You assured him. âPlus, Uncle Tony put me in his will so Iâm kinda flushed with cash right now. I wouldâve just spent the money on something stupid. And I know he loved you so heâd be happy I used the money to buy a Lego set for us.â
âUs?â Peter cracked a smile and felt his excitement return.
âYeah. I thought we could build it together while my dad makes out with your aunt.â You suggested.
âGross.â Peter grimaced. âBut the part about building it together sounds fun.â
Now that he was willing to keep it, you tore the box open and dumped the pieces out. You and Peter sat next to each other with your knees touching as you built the spaceship. Peter snuck glances at you every now and then, and you caught them every time. You accidentally made eye contact at one point and he turned pink.
âYou know, my dads been up my ass all week because of you.â You said with a soft laugh.
âMe? What did I do?â
âI donât know. Did you tell him we were dating or something?â You questioned him, making him gulp.
âActually, he told me not to date you.â Peter admitted.
âHe told me the same thing. Little does he know, that just makes me want to date you even more.â You replied. Peter froze and realized that if what Happy said made you want to date him more, that meant you already wanted to date him in the first place. You realized that you had said too much at the same time Peter did and looked at him out of the corner of your eye to see if he was weirded out. To your surprise, he was staring at you with a soft expression. He quickly cleared his throat and looked away when you caught him staring.
âDoesnât he know that the hottest thing a guy can do is be disliked by the girls dad?â Peter said like it was obvious.
âExactly. I told him disapproving of you was just going to send me straight into your arms. And who could even blame me? Theyâre really nice arms.â You shrugged and gave Peter a coy smile. Peter laughed shyly and busied himself with the legos so you wouldnât see him blushing.
âWhat did he say to that?â He asked you.
âThat there will be a cold day in hell before he lets me go out with you.â You laughed.
âAnd what did you say?â Peter asked as he looked up at you and found that you were already looking at him.
âI told him that he canât tell me who to date and if I wanted to go out with you, I will.â You said simply. Peter gulped and never broke eye contact with you and he reached for a Lego brick. Your hands accidentally touched and he saw sparks fly.
âDo you want to go out with me?â He asked quietly. You opened your mouth to answer just as May opened hers.
âHey, kids. Pizzas here.â May said as she appeared in Peters doorway. You looked at him apologetically before getting up and following May to the kitchen. He desperately wanted to get you alone again to finish your conversation, but Happy was never gonna let that happen.
It came time for you and Happy to leave and Peter was visibly disappointed. As Happy and May said their goodbyes, you pulled Peter to the side.
âGoodnight, Peter. I had fun tonight.â You said sincerely.
âSo did I. Thank you again for the legos. Itâs the nicest thing anyones ever done for me.â
âIâm glad you liked them. Hopefully Iâll see you again. Hopefully soon.â
âYeah. Totally.â Peter nodded eagerly.
You held out your hand to shake Peters, which Peter found a little strange. But when he shook your hand, he felt you slip a piece of paper into his. Peter waited until Happy was out the door before opening the paper up. Written in your handwriting was your phone number. Peter looked up in surprise and made eye contact with you.
âCall me.â You mouthed to him and made your hand like a phone just as Happy pulled you away.
And thatâs exactly what Peter did. It became your nightly secret mission to sneak off and call Peter once you were sure Happy was asleep or preoccupied in front of the TV. You would talk for hours in hushed voices so no one would hear.
âCan you imagine what my dad would do if he found us out?â You asked Peter one night as you hung over the edge of your bed to talk to Peter.
âSo thereâs an us to find out about?â Peter asked and felt grateful you couldnât see his blush over the phone.
âI donât know.â You smiled timidly. âI really like talking to you, Peter.â
âWell thatâs good. Iâm happy to hear that. Because I like it too.â He laughed shyly.
âI think about you a lot when weâre not on the phone.â You admitted as you switched positions and rolled onto your stomach.
âYou do?â Peter gulped.
âUh huh. All the time.â
âWhat do you think about?â
âOh, you wouldnât believe half the things I see inside my head.â You chuckled. Peter gulped again and felt his face heat up. He cleared his throat before speaking again.
âWhy donât you explain it to me then?â He asked. Before you could answer, a loud crash sounded from his side of the phone.
âWhatâs all that noise?â You asked him.
âMays looking for the pasta maker.â Peter sighed. âWe have a thousand boxes of mezzi rigatoni but she wanted fettuccini.â
âFettuccine actually sounds amazing right now. I need to get up and make some food. I just hope my dad went grocery shopping or else Iâm eating sleep for dinner.â
âYou should come over tonight.â Peter said before he would overthink it.
âReally?â
âYeah. Come make pasta with us. May usually burns something and then gives up about 15 minutes into cooking so we wouldnât have to hang out with her the whole time. We could make pasta together. Just the two of us.â
âOkay. My dads watching a movie in the den so he wonât mind if I go out. Iâm in.â You smiled and started to get ready to see him.
âAwesome. Great. See you soon.â Peter grinned and hung up the phone. He quickly brushed his teeth and put on a fresh shirt before joining May in the kitchen. There was a knock on the door soon enough and Peter practically ran to open it.
âCiao.â He said as he flung the door open.
âCiao, bello.â You replied. âScopiamo stasera o cosa?â
âWait, what? I donât actually speak Italian.â Peter sheepishly.
âThatâs probably for the better.â You laughed and walked into his apartment.
âOh, good. Youâre here. And you brought wine! Even better. Come in, come in.â May kissed your cheek before taking the bottle of wine and opening it.
âPeters been dying for you to get here.â She whispered in your ear, but loud enough for Peter to hear.
âMay.â Peter whined and motioned for her to zip it.
âWhat? Iâm just being honest.â May shrugged. âHonesty is the best policy. Thatâs what I always say.â
âSheâs right. Thatâs a great policy.â You said and gave Peter a look.
âOh yeah? Does your dad know youâre here?â Peter asked you and folded his arms, already knowing the answer. Your smile dropped when you realized he was right.
âA little lie never hurt anybody.â You replied. Peter smirked, knowing he caught you.
âCome here. Iâll show you how to make the dough.â Peter said and led you to the kitchen with his hand on your back. You and Peter made the pasta dough while May chopped up some tomatoes and made a sauce. May switched the radio on to play some instrumental background music that made the apartment feel like a small cafe in Italy.
âAll right. I think weâre ready. Iâm gonna get the pasta maker. It should be in the attic.â May broke up the party and put the meatball back in the sauce.
âIf you canât find it, what do we do with all this dough?â You asked her.
âI donât know. Make a shit ton of Pizza.â May shrugged and left to go find the pasta maker.
âOkay then.â You chuckled. Once you and Peter were alone, you hoped up on the counter and leg your legs swing.
âShould we try it to make sure it tastes good?â You asked as you rolled some dough between your fingers and made a snake.
âYeah, but not that piece. You made a worm.â Peter said and pointed to your dough.
âSo what? Itâs just dough. Try some.â You replied and dangled the dough in his face.
âDough way.â He laughed at his own pun and swatted the dough away.
âOh, weâre making pasta puns now? Youâre gonna pay for that.â You playfully warned him.
âBut I dough not want it.â Peter pouted and leaned on the counter you were sitting on so you were caged in between his arms. You both became aware of how close you were at the same time and laughed shyly.
âCanât think of anything other than replacing âdoâ with âdoughâ huh?â You asked and raised an eyebrow.
âDough, I canât.â He shamefully admitted. You gave him a look and he held up his hands in defense.
âThat one was different.â He pointed out.
âAll right. Iâll give it to you. Now eat the pasta worm.â You playfully demanded and dangled it in his face again.
âNo. Get that thing away from me.â He laughed and smacked it away. It flew across the room and stuck to a nearby cabinet with a loud smack.
âWow. Look at that.â Peter said, genuinely dumbfounded.
âItâs kinda beautiful.â You said as you quietly stared at the pasta in awe. Peter turned to look at you and rested his hands back on the counter.
âYouâre kinda beautiful.â He said in a soft voice. You tore your eyes away from the pasta to look at him but couldnât form a single word.
âEven with flour on your face.â He chuckled and wiped a smudge of flour off your cheek with his thumb. You gulped and discreetly picked up some flour off the counter.
âYou have some flour on your face too.â You told him as you stared into his eyes.
âWhere? Here?â Peter asked and touched his cheek.
âNo. Here.â You smirked before throwing the handful of flour at him. Peter coughed and waved his hand to get it away from his face.
âOh, youâre gonna pay for that.â He warned and grabbed a handful of flour. He went to throw it at you but you caught him by the wrist to stop him. Peter wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you closer to him so that you couldnât block his next attempt. But instead of feeling flour on your face, you felt Peter kissing you. You werenât actually sure if you kissed him or he kissed you, but you didnât really care. You wasted no time in tangling your hands on his hair and deepening the kiss. His hands slid up and down your back before finding their way up your shirt. You felt your entire body heat up as you kissed him and felt all the tension that had been building up release into the atmosphere between you. He kissed you until you felt dizzy but you didnât stop even then. You started to unbutton his button down when the moment was interrupted.
âFound it!â May called from the hallway. You jumped apart so quickly that you fell right off the counter. You screamed on the way down as Peter watched with his hands over his mouth. He rushed to pick you up just as May came back into the kitchen. She took one look at the flour covering the two of your, most noticeably the flour handprints on either of Peters cheeks, and knew what had happened.
âOh my God. What happened in here?â May played dumb.
âFell.â You and Peter said in unison.
âOh no. Are you okay?â
âMaybe?â You smiled weakly and rubbed your throbbing head. Peter touched his hands, which now felt cold from the absence of you.
âOh my God. How did you get flour all over your back?â May laughed and turned you around to see the flour Peter had left all over your clothing.
âIâm a messy girl.â You shrugged and hoped sheâd buy it.
âLook at that. The flour on Y/nâs butt looks like a perfect handprint. How funny is that?â May laughed again and pointed to the handprint Peter had left on your black leggings. He turned so red that he had to turn around so May wouldnât see it.
âIâm gonna go potty.â You said quickly and ran to the bathroom.
âShe okay?â May asked once you were gone.
âHer? What? Yeah. Sheâs fine. Nothing weird happened while you were gone.â Peter said a little too quickly.
âHm. How did that piece of pasta get stuck to the cabinet?â May asked and pointed to the pasta Peter had flung.
âIâm not sure.â Peter lied.
âAre you feeling okay? Your face and neck is all red.â May asked and pressed her hand to Peters forehead. He knew she was getting suspicious and had to think of a lie to get out of there.
âI have to poop.â Peter blurted and walked out of the kitchen.
âY/n is in there.â May called after him.
âIâll go to the other bathroom!â He shouted back.
Peter passed the bathroom in the hallway and stopped outside of it. He pressed his ear against the door to try and hear if you were freaking out or not.
Which you 100% were.
âWhat the hell are you doing? You canât just kiss him. You slut bag! You hussy! You donât even know how he feels about you.â You whispered to the mirror. You splashed some cold water on your face to calm down before looking at your reflection.
âWoman up and get your shit together. Go out there and make pasta with your dads girlfriends nephew like a fucking normal person.â You warned yourself in the mirror.
The bathroom door suddenly opened and Peter fell inside. You gasped and pulled him the rest of the way in before shutting the door.
âIâm sorry! I wasnât doing anything!â Peter said quickly.
âWhat are you doing out here?!â You whispered harshly.
âNothing! I just wanted to talk!â He whispered back in a panic.
âSo you wait outside the bathroom door? What if I was pooping?! You wouldâve heard it.â You whispered even louder and angrily shook his shirt.
âBut I didnât.â He said weakly.
âI think I need to go home.â You sighed and left the bathroom.
âWait, no. Please stay.â Peter pleaded as he followed after you. He caught you in the hallway and gently pulled your arm to get you to stop.
âI canât. I canât go back in there. Sheâs gonna know something sus happened.â You whispered to him and pointed to the kitchen.
âIt wasnât sus. But I really think we need to talk about it.â Peter said and looked at you with his big puppy dog eyes. You knew he was dying to talk about it and you felt guilty leaving him after what happened.
âPeter, look. Iâm really sorry that I kissed you-â
âIâm not.â He cut you off and pushed you against the wall. The interrupted kiss was resumed and even more passionate than the last. He had you up against the wall as he kissed you as if he hadnât seen you in years. You forgot all about the pasta and your dads warning and just got lost in his touch. You both knew it was wrong and that you could be caught any second, and thatâs what made it feel so right. Peter squeezed your hip, signaling you to jump up and wrap your legs around his waist. You couldnât feel him smiling into the kiss as he pressed you against the wall. That was the moment you knew you were never giving this boy up, no matter what your father said.
âPeter! Y/n! What happened to my sous chefs?â May shouted from the kitchen. You pulled apart and stared at each other as you caught your breath.
Peter gently set you back down on the floor but stayed in your personal space as he leaned against the wall. You never broke eye contact with him as he fixed a strand of hair that he knocked onto the wrong side of your part. You gulped and smoothed your clothing down before looking away.
âCan we talk after? Please? Donât go home.â Peter pleased as he buttoned his shirt back up. You looked him up and down and knew you were at his mercy.
âFine. Youâve convinced me. Iâll stay.â You agreed. Peter smiled in relief and led you back to them kitchen.
âLook who decided to join us.â May smiled proudly and stepped to the side to reveal Happy standing behind her. Peters knees buckled and he immediately fainted onto the ground. You caught him and let him lean on you as you waved your hand in front of his face to wake him up.
âDad? What are you doing here?â You asked through a big fake smile.
âI could ask you the same thing.â He said through an even faker smile.
âI was making Peter with Pasta. I mean, pasta with Peter.â You stumbled over your words as Peter came to and nearly fell over again. You held him upright but his waist until he could stand on his own. Happy was watching the whole thing and growing more suspicious by the second.
âHm. You didnât mention you were going over my girlfriends house when you said you were going out. I find that a little strange. Donât you?â Happy shrugged as he folded his arms.
âMaybe I find you a little strange.â You said out of the corner of your mouth.
âNow that Happyâs here weâre gonna need some more pasta. Honey, can you knead the rest of the dough?â May asked you.
âSure. I can dough that.â You laughed nervously. Happy gave you a strange look and you gulped.
âIâm sorry. I kiss-poke. I mean, misspoke.â You gulped again and went over to the dough. Peter went to follow you and earned a longing glare from Happy as he did. The two of you bumped into each other and dropped things on the floor numerous times from how nervous you were now that Happy was there. Once Happy and May disappeared to the couch to drink wine, Peter knew it was safe to talk.
âStop being weird.â He whispered to you.
âIâm about to murder-suicide us.â You said at full volume.
âPeter, can you help her? You gotta put your elbow grease into it.â May called from the couch.
âYeah. I can dough that.â Peter replied.
âStop making dough puns.â You hissed.
âI literally fucking canât.â He deadpanned. You suddenly felt his arms wrap around you as he put his hands on top of yours to knead the dough.
âWhat are you doing?â You asked him.
âHelping you knead the dough.â
âWhy wouldnât you just stand beside me?â
âBecause this is how men show women how to do things in rom coms.â Peter said very seriously.
âOkay, but weâre not in a rom com. Weâre in real life in your real kitchen with my dad who has a real gun.â
âHe wonât shoot me. Iâm his girlfriends only nephew. Iâm untouchable.â
âAnd so am I as long as my father is present.â You said and slipped out of his arms.
âIs everything okay over there?â Happy asked from the couch.
âYes.â You and Peter shouted back in unison. You finished with the dough and brought it over to the pasta maker.
âYou better speed run this fucking pasta before I lose my mind.â You whispered in his ear.
âIâm going as fast as I can.â Peter whispered back as he put the dough in the pasta maker as painstakingly slow as possibly. The pasta maker squeaked as he turned the handle and echoed off the walls of the silent kitchen. You could feel sweat running down your face and started to fan yourself.
âI canât handle this. My dad is gonna know what we did.â You said and gave your hair a stressful tug.
âWe havenât done anything wrong.â He pointed out as he finished up with the pasta. You nodded in agreement and picked up the pasta he had made.
âYet.â He added and stole a kiss against your neck. You gasped and put your hand where his lips had been.
âWhat are you doing? My dad is in the next room?â
âI know. Thatâs what makes it so exciting.â Peter said and leaned in to kiss you again.
âThe water should be boiling by now. Can you start putting the pasta in?â May asked as she appeared in the kitchen. You quickly turned around and pretended to be doing something so she wouldnât suspect anything.
âSure.â Peter smiled calmly at her and put the pasta into the boiling water. May went back to the living room, leaving you and Peter alone once again. You picked up a wooden spoon and pushed the pasta around the pot in an attempt to look busy.
âI can see you. Stop staring at me.â You said when you felt Peters eyes on you. You looked up and sure enough, he was watching you with a soft expression.
âIâm sorry. I canât help it.â He said as he walked over to you. He wrapped his arms around your waist from behind and pulled you into him. It felt nice for a moment but you knew it shouldnât be happening.
âI am off limits, okay mister? You cannot be staring at me like that.â You whispered and slipped out of his arms.
âOff limits? What does that mean?â He played dumb.
âIt means that we cannot happen.â You said and gestured between the two of you. âWe can never, ever happen. My dad will reign hell fire on you for even thinking about it. And heâll reign regular fire on me because Iâm his daughter which will be less hot but still really bad.â
âPsh.â Peter scoffed. âIâm not scared of him.â
âYou should be. He has access to all of Uncle Tonyâs weapons. So unless you want to get blown up or turned inside out, you need to stop. Thatâs means stop staring at me, stop touching me, and definitely stop kissing me.â You whispered as you got in his face. Peter smirked now that he had you close again and put his hands on your hips. You gulped and looked anywhere but his eyes as he got close to you.
âYou want me to stop kissing you?â He asked as he tilted your chin up to look in his eyes.
âYes.â You replied, but it came out like more of a question than a statement.
âAre you sure?â He asked and moved in even closer. His lips brushed yours when he spoke and you felt your eyelids flutter shut. Right before your lips could touch, you covered your mouth and stepped back.
âNo. No more. We canât.â You said behind your hand. Peter smiled sadly and nodded his head. He looked disappointed but like he understood.
âI know we canât happen.â He said in a soft voice. âBut that doesnât mean I donât want it to.â
âIt doesnât matter what we want.â You gently reminded him and nodded towards the living room where Happy was.
âSo you want it too?â He asked innocently and tilted his head to the side. You sucked in a sharp breath and thought about the way it felt when he had you up against the wall and how badly you wanted that again.
âPeter.â You breathed out.
âDo you have any idea how beautiful I find you?â Peter asked you. Footsteps approaching made you jump apart and turn your backs to each other.
âHey guys. Howâs the pasta coming?â May asked as she walked into the kitchen.
âItâs coming.â Peter replied.
âItâs definitely pasta.â You nodded in agreement.
âGreat. Iâll set the table.â May laughed at your strange behavior and grabbed some plates. Once you were alone again, you answered Peters question.
âYes.â You told him.
âWhat?â
âYou asked me if Iâd want this to happen too. My answer is yes.â You said and looked into his eyes. Peter smiled now that he knew you felt the same but didnât want to let you off that easy.
âOh. But then I asked you if you knew how beautiful I found you so I thought you were answering-â
âShut up.â You laughed as you cut him off. Peter smiled fondly at you from across the kitchen and you felt yourself smile back.
âDo you really feel the same?â He asked, all teasing in his voice gone.
âI do. But I told you, it doesnât matter what we feel. We canât date. Ours is a forbidden love.â
âI know. Thatâs what makes me want you even more.â Peter said with a wicked smile. You stopped leaning on the counter and started to walk to Peter when your dad suddenly walked into the kitchen.
âWhat are you guys talking about?â Happy asked suspiciously when he noticed the love struck expression on both your faces.
âDad.â You whined. âDonât you knock?â
âKnock on what? Youâre standing in the middle of the kitchen.â He pointed out. You and Peter exchanged a look, and then you and Happy exchanged a look. Happy looked at Peter and narrowed his eyes, making Peter panic.
âDinners ready!â Peter shouted despite 75% of the people in the apartment being right in front of him.
âUm, Peter, the pasta is still raw. Itâs only been in there a few minutes.â You reminded him.
âDinner!â Peter said again. âLetâs sit and eat.â
You shrugged and went with it to keep your dad from getting suspicious. You drained the pasta and put it in a big bowl before Peter added the sauce on top. You brought it to the dining table that May had set and put it in the center. Everyone sat down and served themselves some pasta.
âSo whatâs new with everyone?â Happy asked.
âNothing.â You and Peter said at the same time. You gave him a look and he gulped nervously.
âIs anything new with you?â You asked May politely.
âYeah.â Peter nodded. âTalk about yourselves. Tell us everything.â
âWell, um, May and I have been thinking about getting married.â Happy said sheepishly. You spit out your water as Peters jaw dropped.
âOh.â May smiled tightly. âI didnât realize we were telling them.â
âWait, married?â You asked them.
âYeah. Thinking about it.â Happy nodded as May shook her head.
âBut, uh, if you guys got married, what would that mean for us exactly?â You laughed nervously and gestured between you and Peter.
âWell, Iâd become Peters uncle, so you guys would technically be cousins.â Happy shrugged as May nodded in agreement. A chill ran down your spine at the use of the âcâ word. Peters mouth started to heavily salivate like it usually did before he threw up.
âCousins?â You choked out.
âOr would they be siblings?â Happy wondered.
âOh God.â You whimpered. âNot siblings. Anything but siblings.â
âNo, just cousins.â May explained. âBecause I would become Y/nâs stepmom but Peter isnât my son so they would be cousins. But you guys could consider each other siblings if you really wanted to. It might be nice to have a sister, right Peter?â
âStop talking.â Peter said in a grave voice as he gripped the table to keep from fainting again.
âRelax guys. It wonât be too weird. Youâre basically cousins already.â May said with an innocent smile.
âOh no. Donât say that.â You whispered and clutched your stomach.
âIâm gonna throw up.â Peter said through a gag.
âWhy?â Happy asked as he narrowed his eyes at Peter.
âYeah. Why wouldnât you want to be cousins? Itâs just you and me on holidays Wouldnât it be nice to have a bigger family?â May asked Peter.
âDonât call us âfamilyâ, please.â Peter said and gagged again.
âYeah, no more.â You pleaded. âNot while weâre eating.â
âAre we missing something?â May asked.
âI donât want her to be my cousin.â Peter grimaced and shook his head.
âPeter. Thatâs disrespectful.â May scolded him.
âNo, itâs okay. I donât want him to be my cousin either.â You assured her as you wiped some sweat from your forehead. You looked over at Peter and he was just as distraught if you were. He was pale and sweating and extremely close to breaking. You snapped your fingers at him under the table and motioned for him to keep his mouth shut. May and Happy exchanged a suspicion look at the strange behavior in front of them.
âIs there something you guys arenât telling us?â May asked and leaned on her hand. She stared at Peter, who looked at you in a panic. You shook your head at him, making Happy frown in confusion. He turned to stare at Peter, and thatâs what made Peter break.
âI made out with my cousin.â Peter blurted before gasping for air. You groaned and put your head down on the table as May and Happy reacted.
âYou what with your what?â May scrunched her nose in disgust.
âYou what with my what?â Happy asked and glared Peter.
âHaha. Heâs just kidding.â You laughed nervously and waved your hand.
âHe better be.â Happy stated without taking his eyes off Peter. Peter was staring all around the room at everything other than Happy.
âThis pasta is amazing. Letâs all eat it and stop talking.â You said and shoved some pasta into your mouth.
âItâs a little undercooked.â May commented. âHow long did you guys leave it in the water for?â
âPeter?â Happy asked calmly.
âYes, sir?â Peter answered while looking up at the ceiling.
âLook at me.â
âYes?â Peter said and looked near Happy, but not at him.
âPeter, look me in the eyes.â Happy commanded. âRight now.â
âI am.â Peter scoffed as he stared at Happyâs ear.
âNot at my ear. My eyes.â
Peter shut his eyes and turned to face Happy head on.
âOpen your eyes.â Happy said through clenched teeth. Peter slowly opened one eye, then the other. Happy was glaring at him with a face redder than the sauce May had made.
âDid you make out with my daughter?â
âWhich daughter?â
âThe one sitting beside you. The only one I have.â
âI donât understand the question.â
âLet me ask it again then. Did you or did you not make out with my daughter?â
âNo.â
âOkay. Good.â Happy nodded in satisfaction.
âShe made out with me.â Peter clarified.
âPeter!â You shouted and looked at him.
âYouâre a dead man. Heâs a dead man.â Happy declared and lunged across the table at Peter.
âWait! She kissed me! I didnât kiss her.â Peter defended himself as he scrambled to get out of his chair and run away from Happy.
âYou did the second time.â You pointed out.
âSecond time? There was a second time?â Happys voice got louder as he chased Peter around the table.
âDaddy, no. Donât hurt him!â You protested and stood between your dad and Peter.
âMove it, honey. Iâm gonna fight him. Iâm gonna fight him up real nice.â Happy declared and grabbed the bowl of Italian bread off the table. He started throwing pieces at Peter, but Peter dodged every one.
âStop dodging my bread!â Happy shouted and threw his last piece.
âHa! Youâre all out of bread.â Peter pointed at the empty bowl before hiding behind you.
âIâll just have to use my hands.â Happy said and lunged for Peter again.
âHold on. Step away from my nephew.â May said as she stepped in front of you and held Happy back. Happy stopped trying to attack Peter and caught his breath.
âHappy, you need to calm down.â May told him. âYour daughter isnât your property. Sheâs a beautiful young woman. She is allowed to make her own decisions. And that includes deciding who she wants to date.â
âI know that.â Happy sighed. âShe just canât decide on him.â
âWhy not, dad?â You asked him.
âFor starters, he rented a very inappropriate movie when we were in Germany. No man who respects women would rent a movie called âGrinding Nemoâ. I canât have a guy like that dating my daughter.â
âI was like 15!â Peter whined. âI just bought the first one I found!â
âGrinding Nemo?â You turned and asked Peter.
âItâs like Finding Nemo but instead of fish it was this guy looking for this girls-â
âI donât even want to know.â You cut him off.
âHappy, you know Peter.â May reminded him. âYou know heâll stop at nothing to protect the people he cares about. Sheâs in good hands.â
âBut why do they have to be his hands?â Happy pointed to Peter and sat back down. You squeezed Peters shoulder before going to sit down beside your dad.
âMay is right. You knew I was gonna start dating eventually. And you also know that Peter is a great guy. You should be glad someone like him turned my head. Heâs nice, responsible, smart, respectful, and loved by Uncle Tony. So come on, dad. Let me date my cousin.â
âBut Tony asked me to look after him. And I donât always so the best job. I try, but you know he wonât listen if he has his mind set on doing something. God forbid something had ever happened to himâŠ.â Happy trailed off and looked down at the ground.
âYouâd be letting down the two most important people in your life.â May finished his sentence with a sad smile.
âIts hard for me to remember youâre not a little girl anymore. I thought I would have more time to prepare for this.â Happy admitted. âAnd I thought Tony would be here to help me. But youâre just growing up so fast. I canât keep up.â
âWeâre both growing up, dad. But weâre doing it together so itâs less scary.â You told him as you put your hands on his shoulders. Happy smiled fondly at you before looking over your shoulder at Peter.
âDo you really like him?â He asked you.
âI do. He listens to me. And he makes me smile.â
âGross.â Happy gagged.
âDad.â You whined. âStop it.â
Happy sighed and looked up at everyone in the apartment. When his eyes landed on Peter, he got up and went over to him. Peter raised his fists in case Happy tried to attack him again, but Happy lowered them.
âPeter, you have my blessing to date my daughter.â Happy said sincerely.
âYou have my blessing too.â May spoke up. âBut I donât love the whole cousin aspect.â
âMe either.â You agreed. âPlease never get married so weâre never actually cousins.â
âWe were never actually talking about marriage. May just said âAwâ during an allergy commercial that showed a wedding.â Happy admitted.
âSo weâre good then? We can date without it being incestuous or forbidden?â Peter asked hopefully and wrapped an arm around you.
âI guess so. Just no PDA in front of me, okay? I donât need to be reminded of this. Ever.â Happy asked and Peter immediately removed his arm.
âNo problem, sir.â Peter replied.
âIâm glad thatâs settled. Letâs get back to the family dinner.â You smiled and sat back in your seat. Everyone scrunched their face in disgust and you realized your mistake. Calling it a family dinner now that everyone knew you and Peter had kissed and nearly become cousins made everyone a little queasy.
âI, um, I apologize for my choice of words.â

BAKING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY - SMG (FROM THE 300 FOLLOWERS EVENT)

(Pictures are not mine, credits to the rightful owners)

Surprise Prompt Event
Ateez Masterlist

N/A: This was requested from anon! I hope you love it lovely anon đ Thank you so much for the request! Requests for the event are open đ

9th of August, the date shined bright the moment you opened your eyes. The calendar was right across from the bed and there was an unmistakable amount of markers and stickers all around it. The notification on your phone was right on time, too.
You went above and beyond to never forget Mingi's birthday by any chance, because even if he didn't think it was a big deal, to you, it was. It was the first anniversary you'd be spending together, the first of many, you expected.
It was still early in the morning, 9 A.M. Mingi must be at work by now, his schedule is still as busy as it was this month. There will be a little cake on his birthday live today at 6 P.M and then, only then, he'll come by your house, so you can have a chill night together by his request, but how could you leave it at that?
By the time the door cracked open, everything was set in place. Careful steps echoed through the living room, all of the lights were off.
Mingi's heart sunk in his chest, he didn't want a birthday party nor he felt like he deserved one for that matter. His wish was simple enough, right? A quiet night with his partner. But the lights were off, the house was silent. That could only mean one thing...
Why weren't they screaming happy birthday?
The kitchen light turned on. Your happy smile is full on view with a cute apron on and dinner set on the counter table.
There was no cake, no candles, no balloons and no one singing the happy birthday song.
He let out a happy sign and opened up his arms for you. Well, you didn't need to be told twice, right? You sprinted towards him.
His arms felt like home around you, comforting you and silently thanking you for what you've done for him, you knew that because he only held you this tight when he's getting emotional.
"How was the live today? I bet lots of atiny tuned in to wish you happy birthday, love", you whispered as you caressed his back up and down with the softest touch you could have.
Mingi hummed as an answer.
He was too lost in you to think of a proper answer, if he was honest with himself. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"What's all that in the kitchen?", his focus was behind the amazing dinner you've made.
There was a huge mess waiting to be dealt with, which could be normal, but the amount of bowls and spatulas on the sink indicated something sweet was in the making.
"We don't have a cake, so I thought I had the perfect excuse to make some cupcakes for us, I've been craving them this week", you said you looked up at him.
He chuckled to himself. It wasn't news that you had a sugar tooth and the house was always full of the mouth-watering desserts either you made or bought to share with him, and if you'd ask him, he couldn't change a single thing about it.
He was the first to take a step back and took in your appearance. Behind the apron, you wore a casual, but still just as beautiful outfit. At second glance, he noticed you wore his favorite on you. The color made your skin glow and your eyes pop a little more. The material hugged your figure just right, accentuating all of your curves.
He couldn't resist you when you were this precious, smiling to him like that, looking at him with this much love in your eyes.
He held your face on his hands and pecked your lips, once, twice, thrice... You started giggling.
"Mingi-", you tried to say as he pecked your lips once more. "Love-", once again. "The food! Aren't you hungry?", you took his face in your hands and he plucked his lips at you, causing you both to giggle some more.
So have dinner you did and just like you planned, the cupcakes were ready by the end of the meal. What you didn't quite plan was the absolute child Mingi would turn into as the cupcakes chilled.
"Why can't I have one now? Think about it, it's going to end up in the same place anyway, it's human nature to go to the ba-"
"Mingi", you interrupted his whining and he looked at you with the biggest and roundest eyes he could muster.
You almost, almost felt bad to say no for the fourth time.
"Why don't you help me with the whipping cream?", he jumped to his feet as you handed over the piping bag yet to be filled.
You barely turned around, and Mingi tried to reach for one of the cupcakes behind your back. You slapped his hand away before he could though.
"But babe...", he whined some more, but when he saw that you wouldn't budge, he had to pull his big guns to action.
His arms sneaked from behind you, finding home at your waist and hugging you tight while his head rested on your shoulder.
You felt his breath tickling your neck. It was too late to scape, you realized. When you tried to squirm away from his, he held you tighter in his arms. He knew how weak you were for him.
"You're so lucky that I love you, Song Mingi," you said after you took a deep breath.
He smiled.
For a mysterious reason, the cupcakes tasted even sweeter that evening.
The gasp I gusped. HOSEOK BABY NO, LIKE NOOO. My heart is forever broken for this scene alone... I'm loving it so much! Thank you so much for writing it
(Un)natural Instincts (Part 4)
*Series taglist is closed.

angst, fluff, smut
Pairings: OT7 x Reader, Human CEO Reader, Human Assistant Yoongi, Wolf Hybrids Joon, Jin, Hobi, Jimin, Tae, and Kook.
Basic premise: You and your assistant end up rescuing six wolf hybrids. No part of the process is easy.
Part 1 > Part 2 >Â Part 3 >Â Part 4
General Warnings: Hybrid abuse and lab experimentation, hybrids as second-class citizens/owned property, future smut (Minors DNI, 18+ content)
Specific Warnings: mention of corporal punishment, mention of forced dieting, one line about distorted body image and character using the word "fat" negatively, references to past dubcon and dubcon undertones (hybrids under the influence of synthetic hormones cannot properly consent) but no actual smut, reader's morals and judgement are very questionable for a second
____
The pack expects the worst when you open the door, getting mentally prepared to see whatever horrible condition you might have their youngest in. Their heart yearns at the thought of their beloved Koo trapped in a cage or tied up somewhere. What they do see however, is not something they know how to react to: Jungkook, lazily rolling on your couch with his eyes transfixed on a giant TV.
No collar, no leash, no cage. But no one has enough time to take it in as he springs up upon seeing his pack, darting into Namjoonâs arms and prompting the rest to wrap their hands around the two. The hug is tight and filled with muffled I missed yousand I love yous. Jungkook envelopes himself into all of their scentsâthe swirl of orange vanilla soaking into his skin and making him feel whole again. Thereâs not one wolf without glossy eyes, not even the alpha whoâs ditched his stoic façade the instant his pup melted into his arms.
Namjoon only snaps out of it when he realizes youâre still there, carefully prying the wolves off of him and making sure everyoneâs presentable for you. The rest get the hint and quickly complyâwell, everyone except Jungkook. Their youngest has other plans, as heâs making his way to you and pulling you towards the pack.
âY/N look, everyoneâs here! Itâs my whole pack!â
The other wolves feel their blood run cold, Namjoon quickly springing into action, reprimanding Jungkook for not addressing you properly.
âWeâre so sorry Miss, heâs young and still learning. Iâll teach him better.â
The Alpha feels his chest get tight, realizing the weight of his responsibilities at the moment: this is a new environment with a new person, and he has to get all of his pack in line to not get punished here.
Your voice brings him out of his head,
âItâs okay, I asked him to call me y/n. Iâd actually like for all of you to do the same.â
They donât know how to react, unsure if this is a test.
âRelax guys! Itâs not a test.â Jungkook reassures, reading their minds perfectly as he had the same thoughts a couple days ago.
âI donât do tests like that; you donât have to worry. Now, I bet everyone is starving. Jungkook, could you help me set the table please?â
He enthusiastically follows you to the dining room, while everyone else follows much more cautiously, standing awkwardly and watching the two of you place dinner plates and silverware. Youâd told Chef Gyu to start making enough larger portions, which is why thereâs more than enough wagyu beef to go around.
âMy friend, Yoongi, will also be staying with us for some time. Heâs having dinner at the office, so we can dig in without him.â
The wolves only half-register your words, as the smell and sight of the steak is taking priority. Itâs still hard to believe that theyâre sitting here with the heavenly meal on the plate in front of them. If the name thing wasnât a test, this surely has to be; itâll be any minute now when you laugh at them before taking the plates away, giving them the same grool theyâre used to in the labsâif you even feel like feeding them today.
Even Jungkook, whoâs slightly used to the good food, is taken aback by todayâs extravagance, feeling uncomfortable eating so well as a hybrid.
This time youâve had Dr. Gong do the allergy tests with the collar removal, so you donât feel hesitant in giving the âEat upâ command. Itâs the first direct order youâve given tonight, and the unsure wolves slowly start reaching for their silverware.
Jin canât help the exclamation that escapes his lips the moment the food grazes his tongue, almost crying at the flavorful sensation. It feels as if the three months of wet, tasteless grool is erased in one bite of the best thing heâs ever had. Heâs quick to cover his mouth, apologizing instantly for making noise.
âItâs completely fine Jin, Iâm so glad youâre enjoying the food.â
âTh-thank you so much Misâumây/n.â
You look around the table fondly, until your eyes drop to two of the wolves: Taehyung and Hoseok, sitting side by side.
Taehyung looks at the food with strong desire but canât seem to use his utensils properly enough to get anything into his mouth.
âTaehyung, is something wrong with your hands?â
The wolf timidly looks up, meeting your eyes. He doesnât want to say why his hands are hurtingâdoesnât want to give you a bad first impressionâbut itâs not like he can lie to his new owner.
âI w-was bad a couple days ago, so they punished meâŠtwenty five hits to each knuckleâŠbut I learned my lesson! I wonât be bad here ever!â
Embarrassment takes over as he remembers a child getting hurt under his watch. Jin and Jimin were so good at being caretaker hybrids, watching over the children in the testing labs perfectly, but he seemed to be lacking every time. He was trying to be funny, to make the little girl laugh, which she didâŠbut she laughed so much she missed a handle on the monkey bars and ended up with a scraped knee. Worst of all, he started panicking the moment she cried, causing Jin to have to swoop in and clean her wound.
Eating was manageable when he just had to put a spoon to his lips, but trying to cut with a knife and fork were making his fingers cringe. Youâre also cringing yourself, thinking about how much each strike on the knuckles would hurt. The other wolves are cursing themselves internally, being too entranced by the food to see if Taehyung was doing alright.
âMay I have permission to help feed him?â Itâs Jin who jumps in, caretaking instincts on overdrive.
âYes of course, do whatever you need to.â
Once Jin starts feeding Taehyung, you shift your attention to the hybrid next to him.
Hoseokâs taking the food to his lips, but thereâs no indication of joy on his face, in fact, he looks stressed.
âHoseokâ you speak up, causing the man to sit up straight, âdo you not like the food?â
His eyes go wide, âN-No! I love it, itâs very delicious. Thank you so much!â
He berates himself for looking ungrateful.
What if she takes it away from everyone because of me? What if Iâm the reason my packmates starve tonight?
âItâs okay if you donât like it. I can get you something else.â
The rest of them know why heâs not eating, but only Jungkook finds it in himself to speak up.
âItâs not the foodâŠHobi hyung isnât supposed to eat a lotâŠâ
It pains him to say it, just as it pains the rest to hear it, but thatâs how things worked at the lab. Whatever portion the rest got, Hoseok always got half. The other five used to give him theirs, but that was quickly shut down once the researchers started monitoring meals. Their next attempt at solidarity was to only eat half themselves, but thereâs only so much you can fight when commands are given out with the Obedience Collar on. A time came when the hormones were perfected, and there was enough in their bodies to make them care more about obeying orders than their precious, underfed packmate.
âWhy not?â
Jungkook shifts in his seat nervously, wanting desperately for anyone else to talk. Hoseok seems far too terrified to say anything, but Namjoon thankfully speaks up.
âRomantics arenât supposed to eat a lotâŠthey have to keep in shape forâumâsexual desirability purposes.â He regurgitates what the researchers drilled into their brains.
Hoseokâs face goes as red as a tomato. He doesnât think heâll ever get used to the topic of sex. It wasnât always like that: there was a time, before the lab, when he would itch to feel his packmates intimately, but thatâs all been drained by now. Months fulfilling the lewd commands of complete strangers can change a person like thatâmake sex and intimacy feel like an obligation.
You donât know why you keep getting surprised at the cruelty of Kang and his operation, but every new finding makes you wish Kang wasnât in a holding cell right nowâbut rather on the street where you could bash his head into a car door.
But you canât let yourself look shaken up. Someoneâs got to be strong for them, someone aside from Namjoon, who clearly needs a break.
âEating well doesnât make anyone any less desirable. You can eat as much as everyone else if you want to. Understood?â Youâre tone isnât stern, but very much firm.
âYes M--Yes! Understood!â
Rest of dinner is filled with knives scraping plates until thereâs no more food left, everyone eating to their heartâs content. Hoseok still looks like heâs battling himself with each bite, but he eats nonetheless.
Jin insists on doing the dishes, springing up and collecting empty plates the moment heâs done eating. Youâre about to show them to their rooms when the doorbell rings.
âOh, that must be Yoongi. Iâll go get it.â
You make your way to let him inside, seeing his tired visage with two suitcases in hand. You canât help but feel sorry towards him, knowing how much strain is on his workload having to assist the CCO instead of you, and on top of that, youâre taking away his off-work time now too. You hate how much you rely on Yoongi for everythingâhow much he offers to take care of everything. It makes you feel like youâre taking advantage of him, no matter how many times he assures you he wants to help.
You feel extra shitty on days like this, when you can tell work is draining him completely.
âThank you again for coming.â You take his coat and briefcase as he walks in, the hybrids all staring and unsure of how to act. Yoongi looks at Jungkook, giving him a smile as he sees the boy for the first time. He tries to smile at the rest, but itâs tight-lipped, as he feels horrible knowing the first time they saw him was when they were being paraded around as experiments. Thatâs the worst first impression he could possibly leave.
âYou should get some sleep; you look exhausted. I can handle wound care by myself for the night.â
He looks confused for a second before catching on. Of course youâd told them he was mainly here for wound care.
âOh-uh okay, if thatâs alright. Iâm sorry.â
âDonât be, youâre already such a huge help.â
He mumbles a ânice to meet you allâ before making his way to his roomâaka the guest room he always sleeps in when you have your emergency overnight work meetings.
The hybrids follow you as you let them see the other rooms, letting them know thereâs three free ones plus Jungkookâs and they can share however they want. It feels funny offering up the rooms; youâd always felt so lonely in this mansion of a house. It was picked out with your fatherâs money when you turned twenty-one, opting for the most opulent place you could find to throw partiesâback before you inherited the business, and your biggest stress was which outfit to wear or yacht to buy.
You look remorsefully at Jungkook, thinking about his life at twenty-one versus yours. You donât know if it hurts more to look at him or Jin, whoâs the same age you are right now but with none of the independence that comes with it.
Namjoon knows what his pack is thinking throughout the tour, so he takes a chance and asks.
âIs it okay if we all share Jungkookâs room?â
You turn around in surprise, not expecting such a request. It makes sense, you suppose, and you canât blame them for wanting to stick together.
âThereâs only one bed in there. I donât know if thatâs enough for all of you, even if it is a king-size.â
âWeâve slept in way worse before. Itâs more than enough!â Jimin pleads from behind his Alpha.
âIf thatâs what you guys want, then itâs fine with me.â
You see them visibly relax a little bit.
And so everyone crowds into the youngestâs room, features in awe thinking of their packmate enjoying such a lavish room. You scan around, thinking of how to give them more room to sleep. You never had the need to get any air mattresses, as five guest bedrooms is usually more than enough. Thatâs when it hits you to drag one of the futon couches from another room into theirs, with Jungkook doing most of the heavy lifting.
âAlright, this one folds out and can fit two people if the bed gets too crowded. We got that figured out, so all thereâs left is bandages plus meds, and we can call it a night.â
You work carefully on each hybrid, going down the line with the wound care kits. Jimin and Jin ask every two minutes if they can help, which nudges Taehyung to ask as well, but you refuse to let them.
The three exchange glances of confusion and fear. Itâs not exactly a good sign when an owner isnât using their hybrids, as the researchers reminded them constantly at the lab.
âBut this is what weâre trained for. Weâll do it really well, let us prove it to you.â
âI have no doubt youâd do it well Jin, but thatâs not what this is about. You should be resting, letting others take care of you for a change.â
___
âShe hates us, doesnât she? She hates us and sheâs going to give us to the state first thing tomorrow.â
Namjoon wants to calm Jimin down and assure him thatâs not the case, but heâs not even sure himself. Aside from letting Jin do the dishes and Jungkook helping here and there, youâve denied their services the entire night. You wouldnât even let the Alpha guard your door for you, insisting that you had excellent security already.
If you had excellent security, and housekeepers, and a personal chefâŠwhat the hell could they contribute to be good for you? How long did they have until they were sent away for being useless?
The atmosphere in the room is strained, similar thoughts going through everyoneâs mind. Even Jungkookâs. As nice as youâve been to him so far, heâs not naĂŻve enough to forget that youâre the owner and heâs the hybrid. He was gifted to you, by the most vile people heâs ever met, and itâd be dumb to trust you fully. Does he obey you fully? Absolutely. But trust? Thatâs only for his packmates.
He sits up from Jiminâs lap, looking at his defeated face and attempting to boost morale. âWe just have to show weâre useful hyung. If we can show that, I think weâd all be happy here!â
âWeâd all love to stay Koo, I mean this place is more than weâve ever imagined, but how are we supposed to be useful if she already has everything we can give?â
Hoseok finally speaks up.
âIâll go try.â
No one says a thing as they watch him leave the room, with everyoneâs first reaction being relief. If Hoseok does this right, then maybe no one will have to leave. They know he doesnât enjoy his roleâitâs the one theyâd want to do the leastâand if they were in their right minds, they would never let him offer himself up in such a way. But no oneâs in their right minds, and all they want is to be good for you.
___
Youâre applying moisturizer when you hear the knock on your door.
âItâs me, Hoseok. C-can I come in?â
You make your way over to unlock the door.
âAre you really tired?â
Truthfully? Yes, you are. Todayâs been an insane rollercoaster of emotions, with the stress of work and the adoption, but you donât want to turn him away if he needs to talk about something.
âNo, Iâm happy to make some time for you if you need.â
He nods, inching his way closer, fluttering his eyelashes in the flirty way heâs perfected. If you werenât so exhausted, this would be the point youâd catch on.
âSo, what can I help you with?â
Before you can register whatâs happening, his hands are on your waist and your noses are almost touching. Those beautiful brown eyes have narrowed to a much more seductive gaze, making your breath hitch.
âIâm actually here to help youâ even his voice is lower, raspier than before, âjust tell me how. If you need me to behave, I can do that. If you need me to take control, I do that well too.â
He says the last part in a whisper, breath fanning your neck as he leans closer to your ear, âJust tell me your fantasies. I can do it all.â
It all attacks your senses at onceâhis soft vanilla scent, that half-lidded sultry gaze, and those damn heart shaped lips. Your heart threatens to fall out of your chest with how hard itâs beating, and you know he can hear it too. Itâs been far too long since youâve been intimate with anything other than your vibrator, and itâs disconcerting just how quick he can rile you up. His eyes are zoned in on your lips, and thereâs nothing you want more at that moment than to just give in and feel good.
But then he bites his lip, and you notice something. Notice that it feels calculated.
The look in his eyes only reinforce this. Thereâs no real desire there, but rather contrived lust. Itâs like the gears in his head are turning, telling him:
Okay bite your lipâŠnow. Perfect.
Flutter your lashes more, they always like that.
Maybe I need to get closer.
It becomes clear that this is just a routine, one thatâs not bringing him pleasure at all. And thatâs enough to snap you out of the tranceâguilt hitting you like a truck as you push him back. Youâre not supposed to have these thoughts when you know what heâs gone through. Itâs clear heâs not in control of his actions right now, so how could you even think to take advantage of him like that?
God, his bandaged neck is right in front of you, and you still had those thoughts. Are you really that low y/n?
Hoseokâs having his own mental breakdown at the rejection, blood running cold the second you push him away. You donât want him. He doesnât get itâŠyour heart was beating fast, and you looked like you were into it. Was his voice not low enough? Should he have winked the way they taught him in the lab? Was dinner actually a test and now you don't want him because he's too fat?
He's already disappointed you just at the seducing stage. Great.
Now itâs his heart thatâs beating fast, palpitating at the thought of having to go back and explain his failure to the rest of them. How disappointed will they be once he tells them he canât even be desirable enough for youâwhen thatâs all heâs been trained to do for three fucking months?!
What am I supposed to do if Iâm the reason we all get shipped to a shelter in the morning?
The thought alone causes tears to spill from his eyes.
Youâre pulled out of your own head at lightning speed the moment you notice, which is admittedly too late as heâs full on sobbing now.
âIâm so sorry y/n. Iâll be betterââ heâs gasping for breath in between the sobs, âIâll do anything you wantâ Please donât push me away.â
âHoseokâŠthatâs notâŠthatâs not why I brought you here. You donât have to force yourself to do things you clearly donât want to.â
Ah. So thatâs where he messed up. He made it obvious he wasnât into it.
Stupid Hoseok. Dumb Hoseok. Canât do a single thing right Hoseok.
A new stream of tears wet his cheeks and youâre scrambling.
âSweetheart, please look at me,â
He lifts his head up, trying to look at you through blurry lenses. The affectionate nickname doesnât go unnoticed, giving him a sliver of hope.
âI know youâre trying to be good for me by doing this, but youâre already so good.â
Confusion is clear on his features.
âBut I havenât done anything useful.â
âThatâs not true. Youâve been so polite, all of you have, so polite and soâ it makes you recoil saying the next words, but you know itâs what he needs to hear, âwell-behaved.â
His ears perk up at that, as if youâre dangling another piece of that delicious wagyu beef in front of him.
âReally?â
âYes Hobiâ you try out the nickname, and itâs obvious by the way his eyes light up that youâve made the right choice.
âNow, how are we feeling about washing up, wiping those tears off, and getting you back to the others?â
He holds the bottom of your shirt at the mention of going back.
âWait! C-can I stay the night? Just sleep next to you? If I go back nowâŠtheyâll hate me.â
If you were any less physically or emotionally worn-out, you wouldâve explained that no one would blame him because thereâs nothing he did wrongâbut all you want right now is a quick fix to keep him from crying and a good nightâs sleep.
âOkay.â
