any/gen, Hakyeon as an appliance endorser and ending up on the shopping channel

neo, what if hakyeon starts buying cute things for taekwoon to cook with (and that's how he picks up cooking himself)

[(Anonymous)]

"Hakyeon, I already have an air fryer," Taekwoon said, washing out his air fryer at that very moment.

"But this one is cuter!" Hakyeon whined over the phone.

"How can an air fryer be cute?" Taekwoon asked, flabbergasted. Besides, he personally thought his air fryer looked good on his counter already.

"Fine, I'm going to get it for myself and you'll see," Hakyeon huffed, and hung up the phone before Taekwoon could get in the jab if Hakyeon even knew how to use it.

(A week later had Hakyeon proudly presenting Taekwoon with perfectly toasted toast.

"You need a better coffee maker," Taekwoon said, around a mouthful of bread. He was very satisfied when the one Hakyeon ended up getting was the same as Taekwoon's own. Which, granted, Hakyeon had also hand-delivered to him a year ago.)

Hongbin still wearing his vixx ring/wearing the ring again

[starryfics]

Jaehwan is the first one to notice. Jaehwan always is, given his penchant for rings as an accessory.

It’s a lazy Saturday and Hongbin and Jaehwan end up at the cafe around the corner from Hongbin’s new apartment. Jaehwan offers to buy their beverages and Hongbin finds them a secluded table, shielded from the view of people outside on the street. They make idle conversation fit for the idyllic summer afternoon, Hongbin laughing at something that Jaehwan talks about animatedly, and the golden blue afternoon sky gives way to a jewel toned twilight outside.

A peaceful lull sets in as the two focus on what remains of their drinks and Hongbin fiddles with the ring, still not used to the feeling of the band. He likes to keep them free (the metal interferes with gaming, clunking against the keyboard as he moves his fingers) so wearing this ring is uncharacteristic. The movement catches Jaehwan’s eyes, who looks at it and then at Hongbin.

“I thought you swallowed the ring to keep it close to your heart” Jaehwan says, a smug smile playing on his lips.

“I found it when I was unpacking a few days ago. Didn’t know where to put it” he tells him honestly. He pulls the ring out and turns it about on his palm. The metal has lost its shine over the years and feels cold beneath his fingertips, despite the time spent on his hand.

“You already put it where it belongs,” Jaehwan says softly when Hongbin slips it back on.

Hongbin’s complaints about how cheesy that line sounds die before he voices them when he sees Jaehwan smiling at him. His eyes shine, reflecting the sunlight from the window and his countenance is warm and Hongbin shies from the full force of Jaehwan’s affection directed at him.

Jaehwan reaches out and squeezes Hongbin’s hand lightly, his own ring sitting on his left index finger where it has always been. The dimming sunlight gives the rings a matching glint and Jaehwan holds onto Hongbin’s hand, putting off pulling away till as long as he can.

Funnily enough, Hongbin realizes that he doesn’t want to.

Taekwoon/Any, Magical Air BnB AU. Taekwoon is a secret shifter who rents his place out for extra cash but he’s also the house cat that stays

[(Anonymous)]

"Has anyone told you this is kind of creepy?" Hongbin asked. The crow shuffled along the windowsill so he could prod Taekwoon with an outstretched wing through the open window.

Taekwoon scowled and smacked at him with a paw, but got soundly walloped on the head. The problem with his cat form was that his familiar was absolutely insufferable - more so than usual.

"You, every day," he grumbled, and settled for curling up on the spot of morning sun that had moved just a few centimeters to the left.

"Good. Because I'm telling you again," Hongbin said. He shuffled his feathers primly. There was the sound of stirring upstairs, and both of them turned to look towards the inside of the house.

"Go away," Taekwoon said. He hopped to his feet and stretched languidly, jumping off of the sill and sauntering over to the stairs.

"Still creepy!" Hongbin cawed loudly as he spread his wings and relocated to a nearby telephone pole where he could creepily watch the entire neighbourhood.

Taekwoon sighed in a very un-cat-like manner, but stopped as soon as he heard the bedroom door open. He sat straight up, licked his paw, and meowed. Their guests this time gave wonderful scratches.

The best part of running an Air BnB - although the extra cash was nice too.

Wonshik/any, gen. There is a reason why Wonshik is taking so long to enlist and it's not what everyone thinks it is.

[(Anonymous)]

Now that most of them are either done or at least in the middle of their obligatory military fun times--each day I wake up closer to my discharge date is a day sooner that I feel alive, Hongbin would emphatically give as an update in their gc--there's a lot of friendly ribbing mixed with sound advice and some scare tactics. Sometimes Wonshik can't tell which is which.

Well, Hyogi doesn't have to worry for a few more years. He's still a growing boy, Taekwoon says in the gc as if he had not been point-blank trying to rob another watch off the poor kid earlier. Hakyeon sends in an encouraging smiley emoji.

But Wonshik-ah, try to give long notices and sort out things properly from your end, Hakyeon reminds him. Especially since a lot of people depend on you now.

our wonshikkie is busy trying to expand his music empire as much as possible before enlisting, Jaehwan says.

Wonshik agrees that there's that. And writing as much music as he can. Also trying to manage his current crop of artists (and VERY NEW ones oh god what has he done) and balancing his management duties with variety activities and no, he's not trying to cram all the things possible. But if truth be told:

Nah, I'm not worried. I've got good people to handle things while I am away. Wonshik does and he's always been grateful at his luck at gathering people he trusts and likes to work with and hang out with after.

If you'd like someone to house-sit for you. Or even car-sit... says Hyuk and Jaehwan replies with a bunch of gibberish about how very dare he volunteer himself and he's the legal hyung and he should have dibs.

What's holding you back then? Taekwoon asks while Hakyeon goes on a tangent of how come nobody volunteered to plant-sit his thorny children while he was away.

Wonshik stares a little too long at Taekwoon's message. Glances at the pile snoring not-so-quietly at the corner sofa of his studio. It's Ondongie...

you're worried about your Butt? Jaehwan tastefully types the last two words in English.

My family will of course take care of him but what if he misses me? What if he has trouble eating and sleeping while I'm away training? We've never been apart for such a long stretch of time.. Now that he's on a roll Wonshik can't seem to stop himself. You think they'd let pets do visits more often up in the base?

Um, I don't think your dog is the one having major problems about missing you here, Hyuk points out.

Jaehwan agrees. I'll ask around if they allow dog plushies in your personal effects but pretty sure someone will laugh at you for it.

I guess it's normal to worry about the ones we're leaving behind in these uncertain times. It'll be rough the first couple of weeks but Ondongie will cope and you'll also get used to the pace of life in the base, Hakyeon sends. He's always been sensible. Wonshik tries to relax his breathing. Your dog will totally forget about you though.

Definitely, Taekwoon chimes in, My dear Minyoollie is so smart. How come he couldn't recognize his uncle after being discharged when I videocall him every week?

Memory wiped clean, Hakyeon says, peppering his statement with a lot of crying emojis as if relaying a great trauma when at most he just borrows his friends' dogs.

Hyuk adds, Your dog will be barking at you like a stranger.

Woof, Jaehwan says.

Stop it guys! You're not at all helping! Wonshik sends and blocks the gc for a whole hour.

ot6/gen; vixx getting matching tattoos

lyra

[(Anonymous)]

"did we really just do that."

"yeah, binnie," hakyeon breathes, looking down at the inside of his left middle finger, "we did."

"it still stings," jaehwan whines.

*

“let’s get matching tattoos.”

the outburst was so sudden all the chatter immediately halted.

the silence was truly deafening as the others stared at hakyeon, mouths agape like he’d asked them to kick a puppy.

even taekwoon who is at the grill turns to look at him, blinking at him through the smoke.

“guys, i think hakyeon-hyung is drunk,” sanghyuk pipes up.

he’s laughs a little but his voice is shaking slightly like he’s nervous, not the usual sassy lilt it takes on when he’s being playful.

“i’m being serious here,” hakyeon says, taking their friendship ring off his finger, rubbing the smooth metal between his thumb and pointer, “it’ll be like our promise 8 years ago. but permanent.”

*

they’ve been mulling over ideas for weeks, desperate to find the perfect fit before their anniversary.

“maybe we should get a lyric?”

“what about a song title?”

“a scene from one our music videos could be nice.”

after much agonizing and bickering they decided to hog a meeting room at groovl1n. they’re all piled into the room early in the morning, hair fluffy and unstyled, faces bare, clothes soft and loose. it feels like old times, like when they were deciding on concepts.

it’s when wonshik is ordering breakfast and coffee from his phone ‘to get the blood flowing to our brains’ he’d smiled weakly, when they had gotten their epiphany.

“we should get a star!" a voice yelps.

fives heads whip around to jaehwan, and he grins sheepishly, “you know! so we can see it when we do our real v chant… it’ll be cool… like our own little secret...” he ends off in a mumble, losing confidence, and wonshik lets out a hearty chuckle, leaning over taekwoon to clumsily tweak at his ear.

“cute.”

hakyeon beams so widely it makes his cheeks ache, “that’s perfect.”

*

they’re all lying on the floor of their dorm in a circle, heads touching and surrounded by floral blankets, excited with their first expensive group purchase.

a sterling silver friendship ring.

it was simple thing, made up of two lines that crossed into an X shape in the middle. but it was theirs.

“do you think we’ll do well? will we even last?” sanghyuk asks, voice small and meek.
scared.

the industry was harsh and unforgiving and they came from a company that was basically unknown.

but hakyeon spoke immediately, staring up at the popcorn ceiling, “of course hyuk-ah. we’re all in this until the end. forever.”

“forever,” taekwoon repeats.

“forever!” jaehwan whoops, punching his fist in the air.

*

they’re outside the tattoo shop when hakyeon walks up to the group with cotton swabs in his hands, “let’s draw straws. shortest goes first.”
“no,” taekwoon huffs.

“what? why not? that’s the most fair isn’t it?”
taekwoon crosses his arms and huffs louder, “the kids like to cheat and i don’t want any part in this.”

“he’s just a sore loser,” hongbin snickers, widening his eyes and pretending to be scared when taekwoon glares at him.

“i don't either,” jaehwan sniffs, joining taekwoon and hanging off his shoulder “they’re all bullies and they’ll probably make sure to break our swabs so that they can go last!”
“it’s fine, i can go first,” wonshik sighs, “i’m used to this.”
“what about age order?” hongbins, “it was hakyeon hyung’s idea anyways.”
hakyeon scoffs, mocking offense, “i will not have this mutiny! what about the cutest person goes last? because in that case it’s clearly m-”

“oh no, i guess i’ll have to go last,” jaehwan simpers, nuzzling the side of his head into taekwoon’s shoulder.

the two youngest smile at each other, conspiratorial, and wonshik groans, knowing he’ll be dragged to the side of his hyung-deul or his dongaeng-deul; and he’d rather live.

*

“it still stings,” jaehwan whines.

they’re all sitting on hakyeon’s couch; slowly sinking into its softness when it’s all said and done.

hakyeon watches as jaehwan looks up for a moment, blinking hard, releasing a slow stream of breath like he was in pain.

“does it really hurt?” hongbin whispers, brow creased with concern.

jaehwan shakes his head, lips upturned at the corners but it doesn’t reach his watery eyes.

it’s when wonshik wordlessly gets up to kneel in front of jaehwan, taking him into his arms when the older let’s out a sob.

taekwoon immediately forces himself between hongbin in the couch, burying his face into jaehwan’s nape.

hongbin, sanghyuk and hakyeon follow suit, squeezing them all together like they’d become one if they squeezed hard enough.

hakyeon can feel his throat closing painfully, and a tear finally spills when jaehwan looks into his eyes, “f-forever, hyung.”

*

it’s not over until it’s over.

Jaehwan's overbed deer head* gets a makeover


*Monty

Deck The Deer (With Boughs of Holly)

[(Anonymous)]

“Deck the deer with boughs of holly fa la la la la la la la la,” Jaehwan sings as he carefully twines lights around the deer’s antlers. “’Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la.”

“Jaehwan, what exactly are you doing?”

“Decorating, duh” Jaehwan replies as he steps down off of his step stool. He reaches down and snags a little flag out of his box of decorations and steps back up. “Don him now his gay apparel!” he says as he tucks the little pride flag into the scarf he wrapped around what was left of the deer’s neck on the mount earlier.

“You know…you know that the song means gay as in happy, right?” Taekwoon asks, voice unsure as he stares up at both Jaehwan and his deer, Monty, above where he is currently lounging on Jaehwan’s bed watching his boyfriend decorate.

“Duh, but Monty here is a happy ally, so let him accessorize how he wants!”

Taekwoon’s laugh is bright as Jaehwan hops down again, this time crawling into the bed next to him.

“C’mon, troll the ancient yuletide carol with me,” he says wrapping his arms around Taekwoon’s waist and snuggling into his side.

“You’re the troll here,” Taekwoon grumbles, but obliges him anyway. “Fa la la la la,” he whispers, pressing a kiss into Jaehwan’s temple.

jaehwan had his chopsticks rested on his bottom lip as he read through the comments flowing in, chewing and blinking absentmindedly.

“bbangjiji: sooo cute!”

“pikapika95: eating with you is so relaxing!”

he looked so cute like that, wonshik needed more.

he adjusts the little frenchie in his arms, straightening in his chair so he can type quickly enough that jaehwan would see his comment before he turns to his food again.

“bbangjilover: can you wink for us?”

jaehwan reads, food expertly stuffed into the sides of his cheeks like a chipmunk.

jaehwan’s content smile widens, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and wonshik can already feel his heart constricting painfully in his chest, “of course i can!”

he purses his lips and winks, his chopsticks still resting on his bottom lip.

wonshik can’t take it, he squeezes eondgeongie a little too hard and the dog scratches at his chest.

“i’m so sorry deongie, papa didn’t mean to do that,” he mumbles, clicking the little coin button on his screen and making a tip, “bbangji was just being too cute.”

he presses enter, and sits back, waiting. feeling both satisfied and maybe a little smug.

jaehwan looks up from where he’s choosing his next piece of sashimi and his eyes widen, “omo… 10,000?”

he clasps his hands together under his chin, eyes sparkling but eyebrows creased, “t-that’s… so much… but thank you… i will use it to make better streams for you all,” he sticks out his pinky finger to the camera, mouth pouty and cheeks round, “i promise!”

Sirens are born from violent, watery deaths. Drowning, being murdered at sea, their bodies being thrown in to the waters. And because they were once human, they cannot suppress the basic human emotion of not wanting to see others prosper.
