a/n- hi!! i hope you like the drabble, i love band AUs so this was fun to write! this was also inspired by jeno during the zoo stage, because fishnet jeno is one of my favorite jenos.

He just couldn’t stop staring at you. You were just so pretty. The way your hair slightly fell in your face as you looked down at your paper. He only closed his eyes to blink, other than that, his sight never left you. Not even when he felt a guitar pick hit is cheek, surely from Haechan based on the snicker that he heard afterwards.

The hum that escaped your lips gave Jeno a sneak peek of what the next song would sound like, of course he’d have more input, as he was supposed to be helping you, but once again, he just couldn’t stop staring at you. Your fingers slightly tapped on the table in front of you, coming up with a possible beat, even though that was his job, as the drummer and all.

“Lee Jeno, I swear, if you don’t stop staring at me, I will shove that drumstick up your a-”, you started without even looking up from your paper of scribbled lyrics just to be interrupted by Haechan yelling.

Jaemin looked up from his bass and rolled his eyes at the always loud boy. “I’m hungry and bored! Let’s go do something fun!” He drug out the last half of his sentence and started pulling on Jeno. “You can Haechan, but I still need to finish the lyrics and the beat. You and Jaemin can go since you finished your parts. Jeno, if you want to go, I’ll try to write yours as well.”

Jeno shook his head, “I’ll help you finish the song, Haechan, Jaems, go ahead and go. Make sure you bring something back for us though.” Haechan giddily got up, happy to get out of the recording studio and Jaemin smirked and winked at Jeno, knowing about the crush the older harbored for you.

Although he was glad to be alone with you, he wasn’t sure about how to help you. He thought you were the most talented person to ever walk the Earth. His crush went deeper and was stronger than he’d liked to admit. Jeno had always made fun of the people who wouldn’t be able to live without that one single person, but now, he understood them.

You knew that Jeno liked you, it didn’t surprise you though, Jaemin and Haechan had also once had a crush on you, being the only girl in the band and always spending time together. Jeno’s crush however, has been brewing within him since the day he met you. Jaemin’s started when he realized that you wouldn’t take any of Haechan’s bullshit and Haechan’s started when you took your shirt off when the AC broke during a hot day.

Their crushes came and went, but Jeno’s stayed, he was the one that spent the most time with you. A piece of him wanted to believe that you liked him too, maybe even as much as he liked you. He was the one you always sent groggily voice memos of beats and lyrics in the middle of the night. He was the one you would call if you didn’t want to go to the grocery store alone, or any store for that matter. Jeno was always your first pick and he begged to the universe that his feelings weren’t just one sided.

He looked over at you after watching Haechan trip on his way out of the door and Jaemin laughing at him, only to see you already looking at him. He could feel the color appear on his cheeks, “H-hi Y/n” you chuckled a bit and said, “Hello Jeno”.

Trying to find anything more interesting in the room than you, he remembered his drumsticks next to him. They weren’t nearly as fascinating as yourself, but they would do. “Um, tell me about the beat you were coming up with”

Not even five minutes ago he couldn’t keep his eyes off you, yet now he felt like a child being scolded, like he had done something wrong. If it weren’t for the smirk your lips were pulled into and the mischievous glint in your eyes, Jeno would actually believe that he was in trouble.

“Why are you so interest in the beat now? Whenever I asked you something you wouldn’t answer.” He didn’t remember you acknowledging him at all, let alone asking for his opinion. He gulped when he saw your once sitting figure stand up from the couch and move towards him. “I-I don’t remember you saying anything to me though.”

Humming, you stopped in front of him and placed your hands on his shoulders, your realized that he was awfully tense. “I did, with you not answering I thought you were mad at me, but when I finally looked up, you were staring at me, almost drooling too.”

Jeno felt hot now, with you so close to him, and mentally cornering him. You knew and you weren’t giving him an easy way out. Pulling at his collar, he looked up at you for the first time since he got caught. “I’m sorry.” He felt ashamed, he didn’t know why, it wasn’t like he was thinking about something perverted, not then anyway.

You traced your fingertips up his neck and to his jaw, you felt fuzzy inside when he nuzzled into your hand. The lights were dim, the only source of light coming from the warm tinted lamps on both sides of the couch. He looked angelic, like he was about to cry from embarrassment.

His eyes were wide and starting to well up with tears and his bottom lip was quivering. You liked Jeno too, but you wanted to see how long it would take for him to admit his obvious feelings first.

The first few tears finally fell and ran down his perfect face. “I’m so sorry Y/n, please.” Neither of you knew what he was saying please to, but neither of you cared. “I like you, so, so, much and I know you probably like Jaemin or Haechan more, but I like you so much and have for a long time.” The hand that was once on his jaw was now covering the middle of his face, Jeno was trying to use you to hide from you.

You tried to prevent it, but the smile your lips formed spread across your face before you could do anything else. Jeno took your silence as a time slot to ramble. “I-I just think you’re so cool, you’re really pretty, you have such a lovely voice, both singing and speaking, you can play damn near every instrument, even ones I’ve never heard of, your skin is soft, your hair always smells so good and your-”.

With Jeno’s eyes still covered, you placed your lips onto his gently. The gasp he let out made you smile into the kiss, the gasp and that he started kissing back. He took your hand off his face and laced his fingers with yours.

Slightly pushing him back, you straightened your back that was bent to his sitting level and crawled into his lap with your legs on the sides of his, so you were straddling him. You continued to kiss him, only stopping when he shyly asked, “Does this mean you like me back?”

“Yes Jeno, I like you back. I’ve liked you for awhile but don’t tell the others that you’re my favorite.” He smiled his signature eye smile and pulled you back in.

The sweet moment was ruined by none other than Haechan and Jaemin. Haechan was the first to speak up, “I can’t believe Jeno is your favorite! I’m funnier and cuter.” He stomped his foot and crossed his arms like a child that was just told ‘no’. Jaemin however, was glad to see his best friend get you after pining for as long as you all met, he also went with the more sarcastic response to the situation. “I’m guessing you guys haven’t finished the song yet.”

Jeno pulled away and shot his friend a dopey smile. “As much as I’m absolutely loving this little exchange, Suh called, we need the song finished by tomorrow.” With Haechan gagging once you gave Jeno, one last peck on the lips, you got up and went inside the booth. “What are you doing? Don’t you need to finish the lyrics?”

“I already did, you were just too busy staring at me.” Jaemin pinched Jeno’s left cheek as it grew red. “So, we’re just waiting on the beat and vocals?” You chuckled when his face showed how clueless his truly was in the process. “I finished the beat for you too, if you want to make any changes go ahead but it’s in that stack of paper on the table.”

The rest of the night was spent with Jaemin and Haechan making fun of Jeno has he stared at you through the glass the surrounded the recording booth. But they didn’t give you any slack when it was Jeno’s turn to record. He never realized it but when he recorded the drums, you watched him, very carefully. His arms, his face, his hair, him. The way he would sweat but still keep a face that showed passion and that he was enjoying what he was doing.

“About time you two losers get together.” The youngest of the boys next to you spoke up. “I’m happy for you and Jeno.” The other however, had something else to say, “Don’t forget about me Y/n, I’ll always love you.” Haechan’s dramatic voice rang out over Jeno’s drums and Jaemin’s sigh of annoyance, not happy with Haechan yelling in his ear.

“Well, my last run through was my favorite but I’m beat so I think I’ll go ahead and head out.” Jeno came out of the booth, wiping his forehead free of sweat with the back of his hand. The other was twirling one of his drumsticks, while holding the other. The thought of his fingers made you warm. “Yeah, I think I’ll go home too, why don’t we call it a night and put the whole thing together tomorrow?” Jaemin nodded and pushed a sleeping Haechan off of him.

Whining and grumbling, he got up from the couch and stretched, making sure to hit Jaemin in the face during the process. “Fuck off Haechan, I should be the one hitting you, you drooled on me.” “You should be thanking me, there are tons of bitches that would love for me to drool on them.” Their voices faded as they walked out of the room and down the hall. The last thing you heard from those two for the night was Jaemin calling Haechan gross.

“What do you wanna do?” Jeno looked down at you and waited for your answer. “I thought you said you were tired and wanted to leave?” He shook his head, “I wanted to get away from them, not you.” You stood up as tall as your tippy toes would allow you and light brushed your lips against his.

“Oh really?” He hummed and effortlessly lifted you up and wrapped your legs around his narrow waist. “What do you want to do now that they’re gone?” Your voice sounded distant, as you were too busy feeling the taunt muscles of his arms.

When Jeno laid you down on the couch to take off his shirt, you whined when he became out of reach. But when he came back down, now shirtless, the three second wait was worth it.

“Why does it smell like sex?” “Haechan, it’s because they fucked.”
