When it came to times of celebration, Namjoon heavily preferred more minimalistic approaches. Festivals and gatherings were always fun, but he always wondered as a child if the people who ran these festivities ever pondered upon what the new opportunities held whether it was a birthday or a promotion in position. There was much to enjoy during a birthday party, but did one ever consider what the last year had put them through, or did they ever predict what the year ahead of them would hold?
Namjoon always did.
However, there was a momentous occasion right in front of him. A monumental change he witnessed each and every day after a cloaked stranger had tried to infiltrate his throne room. He woke up to this change, saw the change on the daily, experienced the change through her good and bad days.
You. Arguably, one of the best things that have ever happened to him. Namjoon was conservative when it came to celebrations, but every time he saw you under his, no, under your shared roof, all he wanted to do was show you off. Call him red-blooded for possessing such a need, but in all honesty, he could paint “hopeless romantic” over his entire body and be satisfied.
A bulk of the plans to celebrate your official arrival and residence in Goguryeo were done under your nose and behind your back. You couldn’t say much when you noticed Namjoon was spending less time around you than usual because you simply didn’t know what “normal” was. Previously, you barely gave him the light of the day when you first arrived, so how were you supposed to decide how much time alongside you was enough time?
Yet, the newfound feelings you realized you had for him tugged on your heartstrings a little too much. You knew exactly where he was and with who, but sometimes, the bottoms of your toes would tingle as well as your fingertips, aching and aching to take those first steps, to place a hand at the doors so you could see him again. The connection, the romance, the passion, it was all too strong, a gushing waterfall that exuded nothing short of intimacy represented in different ways.
