    Summary

    “There’s“ he cries, “no one to call.”

    What? Minho feels something in his own chest break at Jisung’s words. Words Minho knows are one hundred percent true from how broken they come out.

    “What about home?” he pushes.

    Jisung begins to bounce his legs struggling to breath in and out. He shakes his head again.

    or

    Han Jisung is working a million jobs to get away from his abusive mom. One night, while working a late shift a stranger running from a crowd of people ends up in need of help. His name is Chan and after getting him back to his hotel.

    Summary

    "Who are you writing all of these love songs about?"

     

    The question is asked in the recording booth before every comeback. Sometimes it's the sound engineer with a laugh. Once it was an intern who had to forward the lyrics to the higher-ups. It's very often Changbin who drops it like a passing joke, just happy enough to have some lyrics on paper before a deadline. And it's almost always Chan, whose eyes light up and dim just as quickly when Jisung shrugs his shoulders, mutters about it being about a friend they hadn't met or about the leads from a drama he was watching.

    But when Minho stays in the studio long after he was needed, melts into the hoodie Jisung could swear he had been wearing for the past four days and asks the question as though he were asking about the weather, the very walls of the recording booth begin to shatter.

    Summary

    “Since you’re the only straight person here… if you had to fuck a guy, who would it be and why?” Hyunjin asked excitedly, his smile so big and bright Minho wasn’t sure if his eyes were even open.

    Minho just barely stifled another laugh. How were they all so blind? Whatever, it wasn’t Minho’s business. Jisung was probably about to say something generic like Ryan Reynolds or something stupid and vague like Spiderman to get out of the question.

    What Minho wasn’t expecting, was his actual answer.

    Summary

    He knew he had no right to be this annoyed about it, because he'd done the exact same thing with Chan, after all. Leaned in, let their lips barely touch, heard the fans scream. Done it with zero issue, because it was work, because it was expected, because Chan's face so close to his was familiar and entirely, completely platonic.

    He knew that. Logically. Intellectually. In the part of his brain that was a reasonable, well-adjusted adult.

    But the other part — the stupid, lizard, possessive part of his meat head — was currently replaying the image of Changbin's mouth so close to Felix's on a loop, and it wanted to bite something.

    So he didn't look over. Didn't speak. Just watched the darn water and city lights outside and pretended he was above all of this.

    (He was not above any of this.)

    After watching each other kiss other members during the fanmeeting pepero game, Hyunjin and Changbin spend the ride home in petty, jealous silence, until they get home and find other ways to communicate.

    Summary

    Minho sighs, running a hand through his hair. “Look, I had no idea you worked here, but this doesn’t have to be weird. Don’t make it weird.”

    “What doesn’t have to be weird?” Jisung presses. “Why are you here?”

    “I’m teaching a ballet class.” He wiggles his hands in the air unenthusiastically. “Surprise.”

    “You’re teaching—” Jisung pinches the bridge of his nose. Of course.

    Of course the instructor of the ballet class he just signed his daughter up for is the amazing one night stand who won't leave his mind. The guy who works at a fucking sex shop and had Jisung tied up in his bed over the weekend.

    Fucking hell.

    (in which — between frequent hook-ups and his daughter's endless adoration for her new dance teacher — Jisung is screwed.)

    Summary

    Atsumu watched the sweat drip from Sakusa’s temple down to his ear and wished they were soulmates. He watched the way Sakusa’s lips parted as he sucked in more air and wished he could taste them. Sakusa noticed his staring and turned to stare back. For a moment the world was on pause as he gazed deep into onyx eyes, shimmering in the bright lights of the gym.

    In which Atsumu and Sakusa are in love, but also the dumbest people to grace this planet.

    Summary

    “So yeah, I guess ya ain’t wrong. I did choose the easy route.” Sakusa is about to protest, but he can’t take back what he said with so much drive only a moment ago. “But maybe let me have somethin’ easy for once, yeah? Let me have a break, won’t ya?” The smile slips off his face. “Ya arrogant piece of shit.”

    “I wasn’t—“

    “I’m tired as shit tonight so let’s leave it here, but just some friendly advice Sakusa,” He finishes his beer as he stands up, Sakusa blinking up at him, looking so small and sheepish now. “Don’t let our paths cross again, yeah? If Bo invites ya around again and ya see me,” He shakes his head, purses his lips. “don’t come and say hi. Stay on yer real difficult road, with yer fancy car and designer shirt, and don’t come anywhere near my stupid easy route. That clear?”

    He raises an eyebrow and Sakusa nods after a beat, rosy lips parted.

    Atsumu offers him a wink, “Attaboy.”

    Summary

    “Taste that fer me.” Osamu says, offering a spoonful to Rin once it’s done.

    Instead of acting like a normal human being and taking the spoon from Osamu, Rin leans forward, tongue out, and slips the cold metal into his mouth while the chef is still very much holding onto it.

    Osamu swallows at the same time as Rin moans around the spoon.

    The chef averts his eyes, closes them and screams internally.

    “That’s so fucking good.” Rin praises, and wastes no time in reaching over to try and dip a finger into the cream. Osamu slaps his hand again before he makes it and clicks his tongue.

    ”Ouch.” Rin mumbles. “You’ve got freakishly strong hands, you know that?”

    “I know.” He answers.

    Of course he does, he grew up slapping Atsumu’s hands away.

    “You must give a mean spanking.”

    And Osamu’s brain screeches to a halt.

     

    or an AU where Private Chef Osamu is hired by a mysterious (Rin is world famous, Osamu just got too lazy to search him up) billionaire and for the first time ever considers breaking his 'no sex in the kitchen' rule

    (also if his idiot of a brother would stop trying to make a sugar daddy out of his boss's accountant, that'd be great)

    Summary

    "It's not that, it's just… San Lang's class has the viewing for their portfolios that day. It's really important, and I said I'd go for emotional support. You could come, too." Xie Lian explained.

    Shi Qingxuan sighed dramatically, "That's sweet, but I don't need to spend the evening being a third wheel while you make doe eyes at your new boyfriend."

    Xie Lian stumbled, taken off guard by such an accusation, "What?" He laughed, shaking his head, "Friend. He's my friend."

    "Yeah, for now," Shi Qingxuan appeared oblivious to Xie Lian's shock, doubling down, "When are you going to ask him out, anyway? Or are you hoping he'll make the first move? Because I totally understand wanting him to ask you, but sometimes you just have to risk the rejection to get what you want."

    "Qingxuan," Xie Lian said their name sternly, hoping to make them stop before they made this any more awkward than it already was, "I'm straight, okay?"

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have been best friends since childhood, the one person Xie Lian could always depend on. After high school, Hua Cheng leaves, asking Xie Lian to come with him. Xie Lian declines, scared of holding him back. Hua Cheng visits, and Xie Lian is always happy to have him sleep on his couch, and sad to see him go. His feelings, a crush which has grown into unrequited love, stay hidden.

    Until Hua Cheng comes back to handle his father’s death, and everything changes.
    ______________________

    “Hua Cheng, here to see my father,” Hua Cheng said as they stepped up to the counter. Xie Lian stood close, their fingers brushing.
    “Oh,” the mortician said, nodding as he looked over at some papers. When he looked back up, his gaze landed on Xie Lian. “And he is?”
    “I’m Xie Lian,” he answered with a polite smile. The mortician frowned, looking over at Hua Cheng.
    “Only immediate family can come into the back with the deceased,” he said sharply. Hua Cheng’s brows rose, and then his left hand grabbed Xie Lian’s, their fingers tangling together.
    “He’s my husband,” Hua Cheng said, and Xie Lian felt like his knees might give out.
