Could you do Hobie Brown x chubby reader
Yup!
The two of you sat in the living room in comfortable silence. Hobie was slouched with a small bag full of sewing supplies at his side, while you leaned on his shoulder.
"Where d'you even get these?"
You tugged at the pieces of cloth wrapped around Hobie's arm. The torn tubes of fabric added a layer of edge to his outfit.
Hobie was currently in the middle of inaugurating a new patch on an old leather jacket. He paused momentarily to remove the pins hanging out of the side of his mouth.
"Made 'em," he answered. A smile spread across his painted black lips as he watched you mess with his sleeve, on the verge of creating new holes in it. "Took some old tights, cut off the toes and whatnot, and now I've got a pair of arm warmers."
He held up his arms for emphasis before sticking the pins back in his mouth and continuing to sew.
You looked down at your plain t-shirt, a boring navy blue. You wore washed-out denim jeans with a few self-made rips in them, but they didn't hold a candle to the intricate patchwork sewn into Hobie's.
Suddenly, you thought of the tights you kept forgetting to throw away after they'd ripped at the knee.
"Be right back," you said as you rose from the squeaky couch. Hobie hums in acknowledgment, fully immersed in his task.
You rummaged through your drawers until you grabbed a soft piece of fabric, and pull out the offending pair of tights. Holding them in place beneath your soft chin, you find the hole and start to tug at it, making the hole bigger and creating a smaller tear beneath it in the process.
"You need scissors for that, fam."
You jumped and looked up to see Hobie's lanky frame leaning against the wall. Grinning, he held up a pair of bulky scissors for cutting fabric.
"Oh those are great, give 'em here," you said, making a beeline for the door.
When you try to take them, Hobie lifts them high above his head, out of reach. He chuckles as he watches your stout figure stretch until you're on the tips of your toes before your free arm falls back down to your side in defeat.
"What's the magic wo-ord?" he asks in a sing-song-y tone.
"You're so annoying," you laugh. "Please."
"You love me."
Hobie drops the pair of scissors into your open palm and does a quick salute before turning to leave.

A/N: Uhh I think I got carried away with this one bc I've done DIY clothing before and I got caught up describing it sdjjfjk. I hope there was enough to show that the reader is in fact chubby 😭 enjoy !

You loved Sundays. 
Especially ones in the spring. Where the sun was shining powerfully by the time you had stumbled out of bed. Bonus points if there were no clouds in the sky. 
This particular Sunday, you had your blackout curtains pulled shut. Only a sliver of light peeking through. 
The seasons were changing. Each day became warmer. Summer was so close you could almost smell it. 
Your schedule for the day was perfect: to do absolutely nothing. 
You pulled the covers from yourself, the brisk air hitting your bare skin immediately. Your bedtime attire consisted of a washed out t-shirt you purchased at the beach last summer, about 3 sizes too big for you. The shirt fell to the middle of your thigh. For bottoms, your favorite pair of sleep shorts from Walmart. You know, the white pair with red kisses all over them. 
You sat up, placing your bare feet on the vinyl wood floors. Last night you decided to treat yourself to some self care. An “everything shower” you’d like to call it. You ran your hands down your freshly shaved, soft legs. 
Sliding on your fuzzy bunny slippers, you trudged over to the small mirror hanging on your wall. You checked your appearance, rubbing the sleep from your eye and smoothing down the hair on the crown of your head. 
In the background, you heard the soft rumble of voices coming from outside. The balcony doors in your living room provided beautiful lighting to cascade against your living room. Perfect for days like this when the sun shone through just right. 
Curious to who your roommate had over, you peaked your head out the door. The voices were muffled, and the living room was vacant. 
They must be outside. You thought to yourself. 
As you walked closer to the sliding doors at the end of the room, the voices became nearer. Their bodies still not in view. 
You wrapped your fingers around the handle of the heavy white door and gave it a good pull. The heat of the day hit your legs first, followed by the intense scent of weed traveling through your nostrils. 
Josh had sat on the lawn chair. He wore a t-shirt from the local brewery, cuffed at the sleeves. Paired with gray sweat shorts. It was just warm enough for him to bust out the birks. He had a straggly red braid tied around his ankle with string. 
“Look what the cat dragged in.” Jake spoke, his voice gravelly from the smoke. 
Jake’s back rested against the opposite side of the balcony. His legs were crossed at the ankle. He wore a pair of black jeans that had natural tears in them. On top, he had on a light washed denim shirt, frayed at the bottom from his DIY crop. No matter the temperature, the faded boots were always paired with his outfit. 
You grinned to yourself, leaning on the balcony. You peered over the edge, looking side to side down the ends of the street, taking in the morning rays. 
As you stood on your tippy toes to look over the railing, your shirt and sleep shorts lifted, the cuff of your cheeks peeking out the bottom. 
Josh’s eyes flicked to your tan skin the moment he saw the fabric rise. 
“Meow.” He turned to his twin to see if he noticed it too. They chuckled to each other under their breath. 
You spun against the railing, leaning your back to it. 
“What’s on the agenda today boys?” You glanced back and forth to them, Jake taking a hit from the joint first. 
“I could think of a few things I’d like to do with you.” He exhaled the smoke and passed the joint across the table to Josh. 
He accepted, and snickered at his brother’s innuendo. 
“Oh yeah?” You quirked your eyebrow at him. “Good thing I’m free today.” You reached over the table, plucking the joint from between Josh’s fingers and bringing it to your lips. He watched you as he exhaled his own smoke up into the air. 
The heels of Jake’s boots clicked against the concrete of the balcony floor. He sauntered towards you, stopping at your side, curling his finger under the hem of your t-shirt. He lifted the shirt slowly to peek at the skin of your hip bone. A tan line stretching across the bone from your bathing suit bottoms. 
“I can imagine you’d clear your schedule for us anyway.” The pad of his pointer finger ran against the skin above the waistband of your sleep shorts. 
His nose nuzzled into your hair, inhaling the smell of the shampoo from last night. Fresh green apples. His favorite. 
“What do you say, Josh?” Jake used the knuckle of his index finger to angle your head up to him. “You want a taste?” He called over to his brother, but his eyes were trained on yours. 
Josh was not as outgoing in this department, compared to his twin. He lifted himself from the chair, joining you against the railing. He didn’t respond verbally. Instead, he placed a quick soft kiss on your cheek. His eyes were warm. They looked like they were filled with love. His grin was tight against his face, but sincere. 
Jake took his last inhale from the joint before squeezing your cheeks together to form an “O” shape with your mouth. He formed a tight circle with his lips, exhaling the smoke into your mouth. You sucked in a breath, inhaling the smoke and letting it burn in your throat. From the other side, Josh chuckled to himself, the high starting to creep up on him. 
Jake stubbed out the last of the joint in the ashtray on the table, looking over his shoulder to you. 
“Coming?” He called for you. 
You answered by following him through the sliding door, extending your hand out behind you for Josh to grab onto you. His palms were soft and had a sheen of moisture to them, never feeling dry. The skin of his palms anywhere on your body was your favorite feeling. 
In front, Jake ran a hand through his hair, leading the way down the hallway to your bedroom. 
You and Josh giggled behind him as he wrapped his arms around your waist, his palms splaying across your stomach as you tried to walk with him clinging to you. 
Jake kicked your door open with the toe of his boot. You and Josh waddled together as he pecked kisses to your cheeks, his arms tangled around your waist. 
“Let me see her.” Jake spoke. 
Half of your room was dark, the light pouring in from the living room. He stood before you, his hands grabbing either side of your face. His thumbs swept across your cheek bones. He gripped your face, bringing it up to his direction. Jake scanned every inch of your face. You watched his eyes as they traced over your features. The pad of his thumb ran over your cupid's bow. His line of vision now locked on your lips. 
“So beautiful, you know that?” Before you could respond, Jake attached his lips to yours. The kiss was slow. He was in no rush. He wanted to feel every second of your skin pressed to his. 
You felt as if time had slowed down. Your brain was foggy and the world had stopped as Jake opened his mouth into the kiss. You felt his wet tongue lap over your own, tasting the inside of your mouth. He sent a groan into your mouth, you felt the vibration against your tongue. 
He pulled you away from him by your cheeks. His eyes immediately find your swollen red lips. 
“Feel how soft her lips are, Josh.” He called over to his brother. 
Jake playfully tossed you to Josh’s direction. His big palms wrapped around your biceps, he lightly squeezed the muscle as he took in your eyes. You made sure to put on your most innocent face as you looked up to him. The one corner of his mouth began to curve up, his top row of teeth peeking out from under his upper lip. 
His four fingers rested tangled in your hair behind your ear, while his thumb ran against your jaw. He brought your face to him before he pressed his lips to yours. His kiss was more needy than Jake’s. His lips, eager to feel your tongue slide against his. The room filled with panting breaths from you and Josh, as the kiss turned sloppy with desperation. 
You took in the warmth of Jake’s body as he pressed into your back. They surrounded you from every angle. The tip of his nose brushed alongside the shell of your ear. You felt his fingertips snake up into your hair from the nape of your neck. He traveled up to the crown of your head and tugged your hair, causing your head to tilt back. Exposing your neck, Josh left open mouth kisses against your skin. 
You whined in pleasure at the harsh pulls from Jake in your hair. 
With gritted teeth, Jake growled into your ear, “Hear that, Josh? She likes when it hurts.” You tucked your lips between your teeth, trying to bite back your high pitched moans. 
Taking you off guard completely, Josh slaps a palm against the outside of your thigh, the skin tingling where his hand once was. 
They were both the perfect balance of gentle and rough. Sweet and sour. 
The back of your head laid against Jake's chest, his fingers remained tangled in your hair. 
With his free hand, he trailed down your chest, slowly running his fingers over your hardened nipples, hidden by your shirt. He reached the waistband of your shorts, where he slipped his fingers behind. He slid his hand down, running the pad of his fingertips over the soft skin of your lower lips. You arched your back, you ass pressing into his crotch, begging for his touch with your actions. 
Josh’s hands found your face, bringing your mouth to his once more. You moaned into his mouth as his brother spread your lower lips apart with his index and ring finger. Jake used his middle finger to swirl around your sensitive clit. He played with it slowly, feeling the swollen bud move from side to side. 
Your eyes were squeezed shut as your jaw fell open. Josh mirrored your actions, groaning right back to you. 
As Jake rubbed between your lips, you stroked Josh’s hardened length over his shorts. You wrapped your fingers around him and lightly tugged over the gray material. He pushed himself into you, begging for your touch. 
“Touch him.” Jake whispered into your ear, referring to his brother's hard cock resting in the palm of your hand. 
You slipped your hand underneath the waistband of Josh’s shorts. You clenched around nothing at finding out Josh wasn’t wearing anything underneath. You wrapped your hand around the base of his cock, slowly pumping around him. He tilted his head back, his lips slightly parted as he huffed choked breaths through them. 
Your thumb swiped over his tip, gathering the pre-cum that had leaked out and swirled it around the sensitive skin. 
Josh whimpered at the feeling. His brother trailed two fingers down your wet skin, circling your entrance before pushing his fingers inside of you. A guttural moan bubbled from your throat at the slight stretch. Jake pumped his fingers into you faster, your arousal beginning to leak around his fingers as you tugged at Josh’s cock with more force. Josh sucked a sharp breath through gritted teeth, fucking into your fist. 
Jake's fingers curved into your walls, flexing them inside of you. You couldn’t contain the sobs from the way his fingers were making you feel. He continued these motions until you felt your cum trickle down the side of your leg. 
“There it is. Keep going baby. Make a mess on the floor.” He growled into your ear. 
He wiggled them faster inside of you, every so often tearing them from you to rub into your clit. 
Your hand around Josh’s cock stilled. You squeezed his length in reaction to Jake playing with you under your shorts. 
Your knees began to wobble, your orgasm taking over you fully. You felt the rush over warmth flow through your body, under your skin. Josh intently watched your face contort in pleasure as Jake held you upright around your waist. 
He swirled his fingers around your sensitive bud, slower each time bringing you back to him. 
The 3 of you panted in unison. The air in the room began to feel hot and sticky. 
Jake patted his hand on the bed in front of you. 
“On your knees for us.” He instructed and you followed. 
In the middle of the bed, you arched yourself for them. Your ass in the air and your head resting on your folded arms in front of you. 
Josh slid himself underneath you. Your arms slotted next to his head as you leaned down to slide your lips against his. 
Jake situated himself between your legs from behind. His fingers wrapped around the waist band at your lower back, before bunching the fabric in his hand and yanking the shorts over the curve of your ass. He tugged them down until they were at your knees. 
In front of you, you used one hand to untangle the knot of Josh’s shorts. Your bottom lip tucked between your teeth as you looked to him for permission. 
The sound of Jake’s belt buckle rattled from behind you as his pants dropped to the floor, stepping out of them one foot at a time. You felt the bed dip from Jake’s knees pressing into the mattress between your legs. His fist wrapped around the base of his cock, he flicked the tip through your folds, gathering your wetness and spreading it around. 
You whimpered softly each time he rubbed over your clit with his head. 
Josh helped you pull his shorts down over his hips. His cock bobbing in the air from being free of all confinements. He pumped himself fully, his fist rolling over the tip completely. He thrusted his hips up into his own touch. 
You wrapped your lips around the sensitive skin at the top, swirling your tongue around the curve. Slowly, you sunk your mouth down onto him as Jake pushed himself into you. Your moans vibrating around Josh’s cock. 
Jake rammed himself into you hard. You felt the burn of his girth stretching your walls. He gripped your hips for leverage. Quick grunts spilled from his lips as he pounded you from behind. 
Jake’s hard thrusts encouraged you to take more of his brother down your throat. Hesitantly, Josh placed his palm on the back of your head. He lightly pressed down against it, showing you he wanted you to go deeper. 
From behind his toes curled as he felt his tip hit the back of your throat. You came back up his length, sucking tightly until you reached the top, where you met his eyes while you flicked your tongue through his slit. 
 He threw his head back in pleasure as his eyes shut tight. 
Jake placed a flat palm on each of your cheeks, spreading you for him. A trail of saliva fell from Jake’s tongue, landing directly on your other hole. With his thumb, he swirled the spit around your rim before pushing the finger inside of your ass. 
The sudden sting of pleasure caused you to squeal around Josh’s cock. You left open mouth kisses down the side of his length until you reached his balls. You ran a flat tongue over them as you flicked your eyes up to meet his gaze. His eyebrows furrowed together in concentration, watching as you crept further down with your tongue to a place no one had pleasured him before. 
You spread his thighs farther apart as he scooched himself down the mattress. With his heels digging into the bed, he spread himself for you, welcoming your tongue lower. Jake pressed his thumb deeper into you as he watched you explore Josh farther. 
Josh’s eyes rolled into the back of his head as the tip of your tongue rolled over his hole. You flattened your tongue, sliding it against him as he pressed into the back of your head with his hand. He arched into your touch as you swiped kitten licks against him. 
“I’m gonna-“ Josh panted out, unable to finish his sentence. 
Jake yanked your hair, jerking your body upright, pressed into his chest. 
“Where did you learn something so filthy?” He grumbled in your ear as his cock slid in and out of you slowly. 
With your arms no longer at his sides, Josh slid off the side of the bed, his cock bobbing up and down as he walked himself behind his twin. 
“My turn, yeah?” He playfully slapped a hand against Jake’s shoulder. 
Jake walked over to the side of the bed, stripping himself of his shirt. He stood next to you, stroking himself, watching you watch him. 
“Turn around for me, pretty. Wanna be looking at you when I cum.” Josh called to you and you followed, flipping yourself onto your back. You laid your back against the bed, propping yourself onto your elbows and spreading your thighs for Josh to slot himself between. 
With your elbows pressed into the mattress, you wrapped your fingers around Jake’s length, tugging at the skin. He inched closer to the bed. The tip of his cock bobbing in front of your face. You opened your mouth for him. Sticking your tongue out, he slapped the underneath of his cock against your flat tongue. 
Jake slid his length into your mouth and you tasted yourself on his skin. 
From below, Josh pressed his length between your folds, sliding himself through your wetness. You felt the curves of his cock run over your clit. Your hips twitched at the sensation, moaning around Jake’s cock. He pressed his hand to the back of your head, pushing you further down onto him. 
You felt the tip of Josh’s cock push into your entrance. He pressed himself into you, stretching your walls in a different way from Jake. He fucked you slow, feeling your slick wrap around his shaft. Josh was more vocal with you, letting out drawn moans. 
His thumb flicked over your clit as he thrust himself into you. He felt your walls quiver around his length. Your second orgasm bubbling to the surface. 
What you couldn’t reach with your mouth, you used your hands to rub up and down Jake’s cock. Swirling your tongue around the tip each time you pull your mouth back. 
With each thrust, Josh swirled another circle into your clit. Gradually picking up the pace until he heard your high pitched whimper carry out. He found that sweet spot for you. The hot pleasure began to form under your skin. Your legs went  numb as your hole quivered around Josh, sucking him back in. 
Jake pressed both palms flat into the back of your head while he thrusted his length against your tongue to the back of your mouth. 
You loosened your throat, inviting him down further. 
His cock twitched in your mouth as he felt his tip brush past your uvula. Jake was losing his grip. Before he could even warn you, his cock began to pump his cum into your mouth, shooting to the back of your throat. He lazily thrusted himself between your lips a few more times before slipping away from you with a pop of your lips. 
Josh snuck his hand up under the hem of your shirt, plucking at your hardened nipples as he fucked into you. 
Jake knelt to the side of the bed and smoothed your hair down. He leaned to you, placing a soft kiss to your lips. He tasted the saltiness of his cum against your tongue and sent a moan down into your throat. 
You felt as Josh’s cock twitched inside of you, signaling he was close. 
You detached your lips from Jake to find Josh’s eyes. You opened them wide for him, tilting your head down to look up at him through your lashes. 
“Fill me up. Please, Josh.” You begged for him. 
Those 5 words, coming from your plush lips, were enough to push Josh over in ecstasy. 
He pumped his warmth into you, coating your walls. He fucked you through it, pushing his cum further up inside of you. You whined as you felt how slick your walls were, your cum mixed with his. 
He slid in and out, slower and slower, until he pulled from you for the last time. 
You whimpered at the loss of him. 
With your legs still spread apart, Josh placed his palms against your knees, pressing them into the bed. He leant down until he reached your wet core, placing a soft kiss to your sensitive bud. 
Jake ran a hand over your hair once more, before stepping away to allow his brother in. 
Josh picked your head up from the bed, straightening your posture. He pressed his lips against yours, breathing deeply through his nose against your cheek. You felt the pure passion behind his kiss, tangling his fingers into the hair behind your ear.  
He pulled from you to gaze into your eyes, getting lost in them for a few more moments than usual. 
Jake clapped his hands together loudly, breaking you and Josh from the trance you were both in. 
“Change of plans!” Jake explained across the room.
The two of you turned your heads into the longer haired twin’s direction. Confusion written all over both of your faces. 
“It’s the Lord’s day,” he chuckled, “and we just committed about 10 sins that need to be confessed.”

TEN: missing you
Tumblr media
Warnings: Handjob, oral (m receiving), suggestive language, swearing, very very mild hair pulling
Word count: 7.1K
Taglist: @kiwibaekie @fudgeflyssworld @kodzukein @elk-1998 @khjcoo
Tumblr media
The guys were a week into their promotions. I had barely seen them, as their days started very early and ended late at night. They were doing music shows every day, offline fansigns and online fancalls, interviews. There were a couple of days I went with them to the music shows and got to be there when they got some wins, too. I felt so proud of them watching their names being called out. On the days they had online fancalls I was working to help with any translations, but overall each of them did well speaking to their English-speaking fans.
When they would come home, it was dinner, then bed for them. Yunho was stealing kisses when we had little moments alone, which I was not objecting to. Wooyoung had no issues with PDA in front of the others and I was getting used to it as well. It no longer felt alien to kiss Wooyoung in the kitchen, be taken into the hall by Yunho for a cheeky kiss away from the others and then to have Seonghwa kiss me minutes later. Yeosang was slowly becoming less shy with me as well, and one morning he initiated a back hug as I was waiting for the kettle to boil. Seonghwa had spent a night in my room after he fell asleep on my bed while we were talking. I didn’t have the heart to wake him up, as I could see how exhausted he was.
I hadn’t got to spend any time with the others though because of the heavy schedules. I knew that once promotions were over, I would get to see them more. Maybe it was selfish of me but I was missing them.
The days that I wasn’t with them, I was working on my bedroom and settling into the apartment. Some furniture for my room was delivered and despite the guys telling me they would build them for me, I got stuck in and did them myself. I may not be DIY savvy, but my dad taught me how to build at least a flat pack! ‘No daughter of mine will be unable to build a bookcase with step-by-step instructions!’ he said the day he taught me. It was a fun day though, and I was glad he showed me as I could now easily assemble my furniture and those of my friends for years now.
My bedroom was slowly coming together, and it was feeling like home. Today my new bed had arrived and the guys who delivered it took away the old bed. So I had spent most of the day building it. As I lay out the fresh bedding on top of it, I feel happy. I take a step back to look at it and smile. I slowly turn around to look at the room. Fairy lights hanging from the walls, photos of my family and my friends dotted around the room, my style showing in it.
I go into the laundry room to check the time left on the washing machine. It is nearly finished so I pull out the clothes airers and set them up in the back part of the lounge so they were out of the way. I hang up the damp clothes when the machine finishes, then flop onto the sofa. 
I take a deep breath and look around the lounge. I have done my room, cleaned the apartment which to be honest wasn’t even untidy or dirty to begin with because of Seonghwas daily cleaning routine, and washed the guy’s clothes that were in their wash baskets. Admittedly, I had to video call my mom to ask her how to work the washing machine as it was very modern and I was used to the basic ‘put your clothes in, laundry powder, fabric conditioner, close door and press on button’ machines. 
I switch on the TV and log into my Netflix profile San had created for me. I spend the rest of the day lying on the sofa watching tv until I hear the door lock chime and the guys coming in. Hongjoong had texted me earlier to say they were bringing home pizzas for dinner so not to cook anything.
“Hey Luna!” San says as he comes into the lounge
“Sannie!!” I smile, jumping off the couch to hug him
“Oh, someone’s in a good mood!” He chuckles, his arms hold on to me tightly
“Hey! I am always in a good mood!” I pout playfully.
“I cannot deny that, my little sunshine.” He replies. 
“Are you free tonight?” I ask, looking up at him.
“If it isn’t a schedule, then I am always free!” he grins back at me
“Well, you are usually playing games with the others on your nights off.” I say.
“Is someone jealous?” He teases, leaning down to look at me in the eyes. “Would someone rather I play with them instead?” a lopsided grin appears on his face
“Depends on what you would want to play.” I counter determined to not let his flirting cause me to blush 
“With you and only you.” He says as his hands move down to my hips, pulling them subtly into his and my tummy flips.
I know I am fighting a losing battle with him now, especially with that smirk of his and he now knows it too, as I feel heat spread across my cheeks. I cannot out flirt him.
“You are so cute when you get flustered.” He chuckles lightly, his hand touching my warm cheek. “Would you like to spend time together tonight?” his voice is softer and no longer teasing
“Only if you want to. It is cool if you don’t.” I say.
I hate the fact I am sounding and feeling like a little schoolgirl talking to her crush. I am not normally this shy or unsure of things. I already know they like me. They wouldn’t have asked me to move in or be with them if they didn’t. Plus they keep telling me too. However, with certain members, I feel somewhat uncertain about myself. I am incredibly aware that each of them is different and feels comfortable at a different pace. I find I am second guessing myself more than I usually do, as I am trying very hard not to rush any of them or have them feel like I am favouring other members or ignoring them. 
“Of course I do Luna.” his hand on my cheek gently tilts my head upwards so I look up at him. “What would you like to do?”
“Well, I was thinking maybe we could watch the 2nd episode of The Sound of Magic?” I say.
“Absolutely! We will do that.” He smiles at me before pulling me back into his body again.
“We could watch it in my room? I have my new TV set up and it will be quieter in there, too.” I say nervously.
Although we had a few cuddle sessions here and there, I wasn’t sure if we were at the cuddling in a bedroom stage yet.
“Sounds good to me, sunshine.” He replies, “Hungry?”
“Yeah! I could eat an entire pizza.” I say as I detach myself from him 
“Then an entire pizza you shall have.” He laughs as he takes my hand into his, his thumb affectionately rubs my skin.
He leads me into the kitchen. The guys were already sorting out the pizza boxes on the island counter. It feels comforting having them back home, knowing they were in an environment they could fully relax in. A place with no cameras watching their every move, staff telling them where they need to be, what to do or even what to say. Moreso, a place they are not working. As soon as Wooyoung sees me he drops what he was doing and rushes over to kiss me, pushing past Hongjoong to get to me.
“Rude!” Hongjoong mumbles as Jongho chuckles
“Missed you.” Wooyoung whispers as our lips part
“Missed you too.” I respond with a quick peek at his lips before San pulls me to a seat at the kitchen island
“How was your day Luna?” Seonghwa asks me before kissing my cheek
“Good! I finally got my room all sorted out.” I answer.
“Is there anything left that you need for your bedroom?” Yunho asks
“Just a chair for my desk. I know the type and style I want, but I can’t find one I like.” I reply as Wooyoung sits beside me. I feel his hand squeeze my thigh and smile at me. I smile back and lean over to give him another peck on his pouty lips. I knew he wanted more, but I like to tease him, the same way he teases me.
“Let me know what you want, style, colours, any photos and I will see what I can do.” Hongjoong says.
“That would be great, thank you.” I smile at him as he nods in reply.
“Did you wash clothes?” Yeosang asks. “It smells like laundry day in here.”
“Yeah, I hope you dont mind that I washed some of your clothes. I noticed the washing baskets in the halls were getting full.” I reply. “I will do more tomorrow.”
“You don’t need to wash our clothes. We don’t expect you to do these things, you know.” Seonghwa says.
“I know, but I had an entire day free while you guys have been working all day and night this past week. I already told you I will help around the house.” I say as everyone sits down around the island counter to eat. “I honestly dont mind. It is actually nice having a washing machine at home too and not have to drag a giant bag down to the launderette. Plus, it means you guys can fully relax tomorrow on your day off.”
“Well, thank you for doing the laundry for us. We all appreciate it.” Mingi says from beside me.
“Speaking of tomorrow’s day off, what are your plans for it?” I ask, sliding a slice of cheese pizza onto my plate.
“Sleep!” Wooyoung says instantly
“Play games.” San and Yunho say at the same time.
“I am going to meet up with Maddox in the studio tomorrow.” Hongjoong says.
“I was thinking of going to my studio in the morning.” Mingi hums.
“Gym.” Yeosang simply says
“Do you have any plans?” Seonghwa asks, his hand on my lower back.
“I am meeting up with my Uncle Jihoon in the morning. We are going to walk up to Namsan Tower.” I reply.
“That sounds good. Do you do that often?” Jongho asks.
“We try to. I got little time off in my old job, so it wasn’t a regular thing, but we go to walking trails whenever we can.” I reply. “It is our uncle and niece time.”
I notice Hongjoongs eyes linger on me and he smiles softly before continuing to eat. He knows my uncle helped me during a rough period and got me into exercising. The walking trails were something we did together, just the two of us. It gives us the opportunity to catch up with one another and talk. It is something I enjoy doing with him.
When we are finished eating, we all tidy up. I ignore the pleas for me to go relax and help to clean up. There weren’t many dishes to be done, so it didn’t take long, especially with 9 people. Most of the guys go up to their rooms to get changed and do their own thing for the rest of the night.
“I am going to have a quick shower. I won’t be long.” San says to me 
“Take your time. I will be in my room, so just come in when you are ready.” I reply.
“I am looking forward to having you all to myself tonight.” He whispers before he kisses my forehead and leaves as I watch him go out of sight 
So am I. I have been wanting to spend time alone with him for a while now. His forehead kisses were sweet, but I wanted proper kisses now.
“So cute!” I hear Seonghwa comment from behind me.
“What is?” I ask, turning around to look at him.
“That look you gave San as he left.” He smirks. “Little stars in your eyes.”
“Shut up! I did not have little stars in my eyes!” I reply, hitting his arm playfully.
“You so did.” He chuckles. “It is cute, though. The way you two are with one another is sweet.” the teasing in his voice is gone. “It is like watching young love bloom in slow motion.”
“Are you still OK with all this?” I ask, mainly to check in with how he is.
“Of course I am, darling. I enjoy seeing you happy, but I also really like seeing the other members be happy with you. Are you still doing ok?” He asks
“I am. I am still getting used to everyone’s different levels of affection and their levels of comfort with me, too. As you know, I am a very cuddly person. I would cuddle 24/7 if I could. I am trying to find a balance of not forcing myself onto someone who isn’t ready, but also making sure no one feels ignored or left out.” I reply.
“None of us feel that way. So don’t worry.” he says.
“Oh, I have been meaning to tell you that my mom told my dad about us. I meant to tell you after our date, but we were rather preoccupied.” A small laugh escapes me as I remember that night.
“Understandable that you forgot, given what we were doing to one another afterwards.” He smirks as his hands grab my hips and pull me into him. “So what did your dad say about me?” his voice falters ever so slightly, his dialect showing a little and I can tell he is nervous
“Just that he wants to meet you next month when they visit, but basically he approves.” I reply, my hands drifting up to his shoulders. “He wants to give you the ‘dad talk’ though.” 
“Oh god.” Seonghwa groans
“Don’t worry. He will put on his army face. He will look scary, but trust me when I say that he is not scary. Not one bit. He has never approved of any boyfriend in the past, so you have major plus points already.” I smile, one of my hands cupping his cheek as I go up on my tiptoes to kiss his lips.
“Army face sounds very scary, though.” He replies.
“I won’t lie. It is fucking terrifying when he puts it on.” I laugh lightly. “But that face does not last for long. He is a kind and gentle man. He is just protective of his family. Once he meets you, he will see that you are amazing, sweet, funny, kind and a gentleman, that you take care of me and he will like you. Trust me, Hwa.”
Seonghwa smiles down at me before scooping me into his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist as he places a series of kisses on my face, as I can only laugh. 
“I trust you darling.” he says. “Now go get ready to watch your show with San.”
He places me back on the ground, but I keep a hold of him in my arms, resting the side of my head in the crook of his neck. It has been a while since we were this close to one another and I have missed him. I have missed all of them. More than I realised.
Seonghwa smiles down at me before kissing me tenderly and I feel his hands caress my neck. I have missed this closeness with him.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” He whispers 
“See you tomorrow.” I reply.
He leaves to go get changed and I am alone in the kitchen now. I get some snacks I had bought earlier hoping San would be up for watching tv with me, including some mint choc chip ice cream that I knew he liked too.
“Oh Mingi, I need to ask you a question!” I say as I see him walk past the kitchen.
“What is it princess?” he smiles
“What do you want for your birthday?” I ask. 
“I don’t need anything from you.” He replies. 
“If you think I am not buying you a present, then you are very mistaken!” I laugh.
“Well, there is something I would like.” He says. 
“Oh, tell me!” I smile at him.
“I would like it if you were to come to The Show.” he says. “Unless you already have plans.” He adds quickly 
“I have plans.” I say.
“That is alright.” he smiles but I see it is slightly forced. 
“Sorry Mingi.” I say, reaching up to stroke his face.
“Honesty Luna, don’t apologise. It was too short a notice for you, anyway.” He says, placing his hand over mine.
“It is just it’s my boyfriend’s birthday and I plan to spend as much of the day with him as I can. Completely spoiling him.” I smile at him.
“It is ok, you dont need to expl…. huh?” He looks confused before his eyes pop open widely as he realises what I said. “Luna!!” He laughs as I go onto my tiptoes to hug him properly. “You had me for a second.”
“It is my first time getting to celebrate your birthday, so of course I want to spend time with you. I know you will be busy with work, so I won’t bother you too much.” I say as he wraps his arms around my waist.
“You could never bother me. Any time I get to spend in your presence makes me happy, even if you are with the others. I like just being in the same space as you.” He says 
“Oh Mingi.” My voice is soft, and I can feel a small lump in my throat at his words. “You don’t feel like I ignore you, do you?”
“What? Of course not. There are so many of us and only one of you. I understand you want to spend time with the other guys.” He says, looking down at me.
“I want to spend time with you too, though.” I hold him tightly. 
“I know you do, and we will.” His voice is low and comforting. “When the time is right.”
“I am sorry. I will make more of an effort.” I say.
“Hey, look at me.” He whispers tilting my head up. “Just keep being yourself with us. No apologies and no effort required. Ok?!”
“Ok.” I nod, laughing lightly as he bends his knees so his face is level with my own. “How about dinner tomorrow night? You and I, my treat!” 
“You don’t have to...” He begins
“I WANT to, for your birthday.” I say, my hands reaching out to touch his face since it was actually within reaching distance for a change.
“OK. I would love to have dinner with you.” He smiles. “Now give me another hug before I go to the gym. I need some of your Luna energy.” His arms tightly wrapping around my waist.
“Luna energy?” I ask as a loud laugh escapes me, and my arms automatically go around his neck.
“Luna energy!” he laughs too, lifting me off the ground as he straightens up. “You always seem to have a never ending supply of energy, always on the go and moving around. I need to steal some of it tonight to get me through this gym session I have been putting off all week.”
This is the closest we’ve been physically and our first proper hug. We have had no time together since that day in his studio where we held hands and nothing else has progressed since then either. So it feels nice to be hugging him so closely. I am unsure what to do with my legs. Should I hook them around his waist or keep them dangling? As if he reads my mind, I feel his hands move to my thighs, pulling them up and around him.
“It is bad if I think you don’t need the gym?” I say. “You are already pure muscle.”
“How do you think I got this way?” he laughs
“True.” I giggle. “Well, anytime you need any energy, I am here. Luna hugs available 24/7.”
“You may regret saying that.” he says
“Never!” I reply, smiling at him before resting my head on his neck. “I missed you today.” I find myself saying quietly 
“I missed you too.” His voice is soft with arms securely around me, making me feel safe in his arms and I can’t help but smile to hear him say he has missed me too.
We stay like this for a few more minutes before mumbling he needs to go to the gym before his motivation disappears. Once I am safely back on the ground, Mingi bids me a good night and leaves the apartment. I go back into the kitchen to get the snacks and head to my bedroom. I give the room a quick spruce up, switch on the fairy lights, put on a wax melt and set up the snacks and drinks on my bed.  
“Your room is amazing!” San says as he comes in. “It looks so different from how it did before!” 
“What did it look like when Hongjoong was in it?” I ask, curiosity getting the better of me.
“It had these really awful green walls. Like vomit green.” He says with a disgusted face as I laugh. 
“I feel bad Hongjoong gave up his bedroom for me.”
“Don’t. He barely even slept in it. He was always either at the studio or he would fall asleep on the sofa if he came home. So it is nice to see someone actually using this room.” He replies. “Is this your sisters?” He picks up a photo frame from my desk and looks at it.
Tumblr media
“Yeah. That is Soojin and Hyejin.” I answer, pointing at them 
“They are so cute!!” He smiles
“They really are. Very cute, but very cheeky, though.” I reply.
“So basically like Wooyoung then?” he laughs
“Pretty much.” I giggle. “They get away with it too. Like Wooyoung!”
“Who is this little one?” He asks, pointing at another photo.
Tumblr media
“Yours truly!” I say, putting my hands up to frame my face and put on my best aegyo face.
“No way!! I thought that was one of your sisters!” He gasps. “It’s like triplets!” he holds both photo frames together to compare 
“My mom always says that.” I reply.
“I see your strawberry addiction started from a young age!”
“Ah yes!” I laugh. “There was a point I ate strawberries with every meal and would cry if I couldn’t.”
“And you finally grew out of that stage just last week!” he teases
“Hey!! That is mean!” I pout, pretending to be upset as he laughs, pulling me in for a hug.
“I am sorry, sunshine! You love your strawberries, though, and it is adorable!” His hands moving to my lower back.
“Soojin is obsessed with strawberries, too. My dad said she is a mini-me.” I say.
“You must miss your family.” His voice is soft.
“I do, but we message each other every day, talk as much as we can, and they visit a lot, too. During covid I didn’t see them for 2 years, that was difficult but I was thankful for video calls.” I say.
“My family is only an hour’s flight away, but I miss them like crazy most days.” He says. “You were really young when you moved here as well.” 
“Moving is second nature to me. I did struggle at first, being apart from my mom, and the twins weren’t even 2 years old when I moved too. So I missed a lot of their younger years.”
“It seems like you have a good bond, though. I heard you on the phone with them last night.” I must look weird at him as he quickly adds, “Oh, I wasn’t eavesdropping. I was in the lounge and your bedroom door was open. I could hear you all laughing.” His face is flushing slightly.
“It is ok.” I smile gently at him to let him know I am not annoyed. “I think for living thousands of miles apart, we are close. We just talk often and as many video calls as we can, too. They send me messages on their iPads every day. It is nice. I love when I get them.” I say as he replaces the frames where they were.
“It is good you are so close.” he smiles. “Plus, their British accents are so cute!”
“Just wait until you meet them! They are even cuter!” I giggle.
“You would want me to meet them?” He sounds surprised.
“I mean, only if you wanted to. Obviously, you aren’t obligated to meet anyone from my family.” It comes out in a jumble of words, but it doesn’t seem to faze him as he continues to smile at me.
“I would love to meet your family.” He says. My eyes widen a little as this and I can only stare at him. “I know your parents think Seonghwa is your boyfriend so obviously if I were to meet them it wouldn’t be in that capacity and I am ok with that.” 
“Would you like to meet them in a boyfriend capacity?” I hear myself ask him. It wasn’t a question that was on my mind before, so it just pops out.
“I mean...” His hand scratches the back of his head as his eyes dart around the room. “I am ok with just being a friend.”
He leans forwards and just as he is about to kiss me, he quickly diverts his lips to my forehead. His words ‘just being a friend’ echo in my head and it makes me suddenly second guess my relationship with him.
“Lets watch the show. I don’t want the ice cream to melt.” I say, trying to change the conversation and get those words out of my head before I start to overthink and doubt myself even more.
“Then we will start with the ice cream.” he says as we sit on my bed
I set up the show as he opens the tub of ice cream and we settled into the pillows behind us that were resting on the headboard. There is a clear gap between us, because I am unsure now. San digs his spoon into the ice cream before putting it to my mouth. 
“The cutest person in the room gets the first taste.” He smiles as I swallow it.
“Then shouldn’t you be feeding it to yourself?” I say as he moves closer to me.
“No one is as cute as you.” he replies, his finger taps the tip of my nose
I feel a small flutter inside my stomach at the way he is looking at me right now. How the fairy lights behind us are making his brown eyes sparkle. I force myself to look away and back at the tv as the opening song begins.
“I want to go to that amusement park! It looks amazing all lit up like that!” I say.
“I will take you somewhere like that one day.” San says, feeding me more ice cream.
We continue to watch as we eat the ice cream and all the snacks and by the time the episode has finished, so has all the food and we are sitting even closer to one another. During the episode, I felt his hands move my legs on top of his. His hands hold on to them, delicately moving his hands up and down every so often.
“That was a great episode.” San says, “Do you believe in magic?” he imitates the magician
“Annara sumanara!” I reply as we both laugh.
His hand moves higher up my leg as we look at one another. There is a bit of a silence between us as we smile at one another.
“Well... it is getting late.” he says, looking into my eyes. “I should let you get to sleep. You need a full rest for your walk tomorrow morning.” 
“You can stay here tonight. If… if you want to.” I say nervously 
I really don’t want our time together to end and I feel 100% comfortable with him being here with me. However, I don’t want to rush him.
“I do.” he replies quickly. “I just need to go brush my teeth.”
“Cool.” I smile, relief flooding me
“I’ll be quick, I promise.” He smiles back at me.
As San leaves my room, I clear off the bed, brush my teeth, switch off most of the fairy lights, only leaving the ones behind my bed as I like to sleep with them on. I pull back the covers and get into bed just as I hear a knock at the door as San slowly comes in. I can feel a small bubble of nerves inside me as he gets into my bed. San pulls the covers over us as we lay side by side, facing one another.
“Your bed is so comfortable.” He chuckles, burrowing down into it.
“It is!” I reply as he pulls me into his arms.
“Is this ok?” he asks
“More than ok.” I smile. “You are very cuddly.”
“So are you, sunshine.” He says as I feel his hands press against my back.
“I like when you call me that.” I sigh happily, nuzzling into his neck. “Why ‘sunshine’ though?”
“Because you are like a ray of sunshine to me. It is cheesy, I know, and I never meant for it to be a nickname for you. The first time it just slipped out and when you didn’t seem weirded out by it the second time I said it, it just became natural to say it to you.” he replies.
“It isn’t cheesy at all. I really like it.” I say. “This is nice.” I add, moving my leg to rest on top of his.
“It is.” he replies, kissing my forehead 
“I can switch off the fairy lights if they are bothering you.”
“Don’t. They are nice.” He replies. “It makes you look even more beautiful than you already are.” 
“San…” I sigh softly 
“I know, I know you don’t like compliments, but I cannot not say what I am thinking. Especially for you.” He replies, his hand stroking my face.
We look at one another for a few moments as his hand moves to my neck. My eyes fall to his lips briefly and back to his eyes. The soft glow of the lights above our heads highlighting his stunning features and his brown eyes.
I gasp lightly as his head moves, his lips pressing against mine for a few seconds. He pulls back to look at me, his eyes searching mine. As if he is looking for any signs of hesitation or rejection from me.
“Was that ok?” He asks softly 
“Yes.” I nod and move forward to kiss him again.
The kiss slowly grows into something more. His earlier words disappearing with every movement of his lips against mine. A heat rising between us, I throw caution to the wind and move my hand down his body to his lower stomach. I hesitate for a second until I feel his hips roll and I slip my hand underneath the material of his pyjama bottoms. Unintentionally, it also goes under his boxer shorts too, but I go with it. 
I want to gauge his reaction before I touch him, so I move my hand to his hip and squeeze it. His kisses become more needy at this action. His hands grip onto my waist harder, causing my hand to move further down. My fingers brush along the base of his cock, his hips roll against me again.
“You are such a tease.” He moans 
“Sorry, I am not trying to be.” I say as he kisses down my jaw.
“We can slow down if you feel we are going too fast.” he says, pulling his lips away from my skin
“I don’t want to slow down San.” I reply, taking my hand out his boxers but keeping it on his waistline so there is still a physical connection between us. “You’ve worked so hard this past week and I’ve seen how exhausted you have been every night. How far you have pushed yourself physically with each performance. I have watched your fancams, and you looked like you were going to pass out at one point. I was so scared watching it.”
“I was fine, don’t worry!” He smiles at me
“I worry about all of you, but especially seeing how you have pushed yourself.” I place a kiss on his lips, resting my forehead against his. “I just want to make you feel good tonight, though. I also don’t want to rush you either, if you aren’t ready for this part.”
“Luna, look at how fucking hard I am. I am more than ready, but only if you are as well.” He says.
I don’t need to look to know, as I can feel it pressed against my thigh. I decide to be honest with him about what I want tonight. “I want it to be about only you tonight, not me.” I slide my hand back into his boxer shorts 
“You don’t want me to… touch you?” He asks, his head dropping back into the pillow as my fingers wrap around the base of his cock 
“I do San. You have no idea how much I would love for you to touch me.” I giggle, kissing his exposed neck. “But another night, because tonight I want it to be all about you.”
“I’ve never had a woman say that to me before. It is usually the other way around. They want me to make them feel good. It is what I can do for them.” He replies and I can see even from the glow of the fairy lights he is blushing. “I don’t want you to think I am selfish in bed, though, because I am not.” I let my fingers grasp around him slightly firmer, causing his eyes to close and a small hiss to escape him. “Oh, fuck.” He gasps.
“I never would. It is me wanting to do this. Will you let me?” I kiss his neck again, my hand moving to the tip of his cock and rolling over the top. I can already feel some precum leaking, so I swipe my thumb over his head, causing a sharp intake a breath from San.
“I will not say no to that offer...” he grins before moaning once more at my hand movements “…but I also don’t think I will be able to keep my hands off you.”
“I won’t object if you want to feel me up.” I say, pushing him onto his back. “But tonight is about you.” 
I position myself over him, my knees on either side of his thighs, as I lean down to kiss him. His hands immediately grab onto my ass. The kiss is heated from the start as his tongue enters my mouth. I take my hand out of his boxers and manoeuvre myself so I can pull at his pyjama bottoms and boxers. San lifts his hips and helps to fully remove them, sliding them down his legs using his feet as my hands pull off his t-shirt. I can’t help but place kisses over his chest as I stroke him, his body reacting instantly.
“That feel good?” I ask him sitting upright, resting on his thighs.
“Y-Yes.” San whines
I set a steady pace with my hand, pumping his cock as he lies underneath me, panting quietly, the odd curse falling from his lips. I focus my eyes on his face, watching every expression he is making as I try to learn what he likes and what he doesn’t. His hands that were gripping onto my thighs moving under my sleep shirt, making their way to my breasts. 
I lean down once more, so my lips are ghosting his. He lifts his head to connect them, but I pull back just far enough so they are still close but not touching. His eyebrows furrow and he pouts at me at the lack of contact.
“S-sunshine…. please…” his little whines are beautiful to me
“What does my Sannie want?” 
“K-kiss me.” 
There is something about hearing him beg me that turns me on and gives me a boost of confidence, too. I have never been this assertive so quickly. I tilt my head to give San what he wants. His kisses are needy and addictive, too. I have to force myself to pull away from him and remind myself what I wanted. “Baby… can I use my mouth on you?” 
This question causes his entire body to react, his finger tips dig into my thighs as he nods frantically. Without stopping my strokes, I move off him and settle down on the bed. My mouth is literally watering looking at his cock in my small hand. I collect some of the saliva, letting it drip out of my mouth and over his tip.
“So fucking hot!” San moans, his eyes fixated on me
I give him a wink and a smirk before I lick a strip from the underside of his cock until I am at the tip, putting it in my mouth.
“Oh shit… your mouth.. fuck..” he pants louder as my tongue swirls around his tip. 
I already know I can’t take him fully in my mouth as it has been too long since I last did this but I am determined to make him feel good and have him come. What I can’t fit in my mouth, I stroke with my hand.
“Oh fuck.. not going to last long.” He pants as I continue to move my hand on him and suck on his tip. With my free hand I softly play with his balls and it is like flipping a switch.
“Luna, gonna come.” 
I take my mouth off him. “Do you want to come in my mouth?”
“Can I?” He asks and I don’t answer. I can tell from his desperate eyes looking at me and whimpers that he does. 
I continue my actions, hollowing my cheeks as much as I can, taking a bit more of him inside my mouth and his hand suddenly grasps onto my head, his fingers wrapping around my hair. He isn’t being rough, but it turns me on, especially when his hips thrust towards me. I begin to suck harder and within seconds his body twitches, deep groans coming from him and I feel the hot liquid shoot into my mouth. A little more powerful than I was expecting, causing me to gag slightly as I pull back from him, swallow quickly so I didn’t spit it out as I cough. More cum pours out of his slit, leaking down his cock. Without thinking, I lean down and clean it with my tongue. He tastes amazing.
“Holy shit… that was… fuck!” He lets out a breathy laugh. “Come here.” His hands reach for my face, pulling me up to kiss him. His tongue mixing with mine, his throat making beautiful little moans.
“Was that ok?” I ask. Now that it is over, I am suddenly feeling really self-conscious. Was I too much? Did I go too far? It usually takes a while to get that demanding in bed.
“That was the best head I’ve ever had.” He places little kisses on my lips.
“It wasn’t even a proper blowjob.” Surprised at his response, especially since I couldn’t take him fully into my mouth.
“Well, if that wasn’t a proper one, then you will need to give me a warning before you give a proper one, because that was so fucking hot. I have never come that hard… ever.” He smirks at me. “Were you ok though? You were coughing. I wasn’t too rough, was I?”
“No.” I smile at him. “You weren’t. I just was a little shocked. It went straight to the back of my throat and I gagged a little. More from surprise, though.” My hands stroke his sweaty hair. “It has been a while since I’ve done that with someone and I couldn’t really take you fully in.” I confess. “I will be able to soon, though.”
“You don’t need to force yourself to do something you aren’t ready for” The way he is looking at me right now is different. His eyes are filled with affection. “ You were amazing, honestly.” 
“I’ll be back in a second. Stay here.” I kiss him before rolling out of bed and going into my bathroom.
As I wet a washcloth with warm water, I can still taste him on my lips. I’ve never tasted something so nice before. It was hard to describe how he tasted. All I knew was I liked it and that I would want more. I rinse out the excess water from the washcloth, grab a towel and go back into my bedroom to see San hasn’t moved. He is still sprawled on my bed, but his eyes are now heavy. Trying not to disturb him too much, I clean him up as he looks up at me. 
“It should be me taking care of you.” His voice is low, I can hear how tired he is.
“Another night you can.” I smile down at him as I lift his discarded bottoms from the floor.
He takes them from my hand before I take things back to the bathroom, rinsing the washcloth and putting it in the laundry basket along with the towel. I rinse my mouth with some mouthwash before leaving the bathroom. 
From the glow of the fairy lights, I can see San has put his boxers on, his eyes closed, and arm outstretched on my side of the bed as if he made room for me. I crawl into the space beside him to find he is asleep already. I kiss his cheek, whispering ‘good night’ even though I know he can’t hear me and cuddle into his bare chest. The warmth of his body and his steady breaths lull me into a sound sleep with only the sounds of muffled footsteps upstairs in the background.

Fluffcember #21 (Raiden x reader
DIY Christmas tree
You stood back, hands on your hips, admiring your handiwork. In under 3 hours, you'd managed to decorate all of your apartment, lining the walls with strips of decorative Holly, placing wreaths on the doors, and hanging a bough of mistletoe in your living room. Everything was set; all that was left was getting a tree. Unfortunately, your apartment was a bit too small for you to fit a Christmas tree into years prior, but this year, things would change. You turned and glanced at the long green cloth you'd laid out on the couch, as well as the strings of jewelry that were made to resemble tinsel and baubles. You grinned, excited for when your "tree" would get here. Several minutes later, the doorbell rung. You raced towards the front door and flung it open. "Raiden!" You exclaimed, throwing your arms around his metallic neck. "Yes...hi, Y/N." Gently, he circled his cybernetic arms around your waist and held you. "Come on in," You urged, dragging him through the door. Raiden allowed himself to be yanked into your abode, marveling at the multitude of decorations that covered the walls and ceilings of your apartment. "Beautiful," He remarked, noting the rows of twinkling Christmas lights that lined most of the hallway. "Not as beautiful as you'll be when I'm done with you!" You declared, leading him to the couch. Raiden's confused expression changed to that of horror as soon as he saw what was waiting for him. "No. Oh no." You grinned mischievously, lifting up the green cloth and brandishing it in front of his face. "Oh yes." Raiden sighed, metal fingers pinching his nose. "Why can't you get a regular tree? A fake tree?" You shook your head laughingly. "Rai, I told you before, my place is too small for a fake tree, or any tree for that matter. However," You draped the fabric over his slender shoulders and fastened it in the back with a safety pin. "You fit in my apartment just fine, and are the perfect material to make a DIY tree out of." Raiden rolled his visible eye. "Is that all I am to you? Material?" His tone was mocking; a smirk on his face. You shook your head, layering the many heavily ornamented necklaces about his neck. "No, you're going to be a precious and vital component of my Christmas." You leaned back, smiling while analyzing your work. "You're important to me, now in more ways than one." Circling around to his back, you located one of the many ports in his circuitry and plugged a small set of LED Christmas fairy lights into it before winding the coil of lights around his waist, like a belt. As a finishing touch, you placed a glittery star tiara on his head, one that made him shine brighter than usual. "Perfect." You announced, grinning. Raiden scoffed, twisting to look at his new outfit. "I look ridiculous." You shook your head, standing on your tiptoes to adjust his tiara. "You look beautiful, babe. Always do." It was then when Raiden looked up and noticed the mistletoe. "This is so cliched," He sighed, bending down to kiss you. "Maybe so," You admitted, wrapping your arms around his shoulders. "But it gives me an excuse to kiss you." A small smile tugged on Raiden's lips, barely visible because of the metal jaw obscuring most of his mouth. "True," He admitted, leaning down and kissing you again. "Very true." You chuckled, resting your head against his metallic chest. "You make a good tree, by the way." Raiden let out a small laugh, holding you against him with one of his prosthetic arms. "Whatever you say, Y/N, whatever you say."

Being Eddie Munson's goth partner would include:
Tumblr media
-Sharing music from each others subcultures. He may be into metal where you like goth rock and post punk, but you're able to find new appreciation just because it's an interest shared by someone you love. You play each other cassette tapes and vinyls, including mixtapes you've made personally for the other. If there's a song they know you like they've introduced you to, they always think about you when they hear it from now on.
-Browsing subculture related magazines together, getting excited about upcoming music releases and shows and showing each other pictures. You also pour over catalogues of harder to come by music and fashion together and talk about what you'd like to order through the post. Getting your hands on these things is a big deal to you two, so it's always a big event when the package arrives.
-Eddie and you enjoy thrift shopping together and doing cheap DIY jobs, like adding rips, patches, pins, button badges and chains to your second hand scores. You pour everything out you have in your collection of adornments and make a date of customising clothing and accessories on his bedroom floor. He helps you sew on patches when pushing the needle through gets too tough and also with coming up with designs to paint with fabric paint to make your own. (Imagining that he designed the Hellfire and Corroded Coffin graphics himself!)
-You have some overlap in fashion sense and share lots of skull, bats and crucifix jewellery. You share his leather jacket with him, and he shares your cosmetics. You love helping him put it on when he's interested, and he loves it when you let him try it out on you too. He's actually quite artistic, gently holding your face steady as he applies product with warm hands and his tongue poking out between his lips as he concentrates. There's also the cans of each others' hairspray left in each other's bathrooms.
-Enjoying horror films together and getting excited about especially gory scenes, appreciating a good scare all cuddled up in the same blanket in a dark room. You find that the scares get both of you more frisky than frightened.
-You've definitely wistfully discussed what it would be like for the two of you to become undead immortal lovers together and sleep in the same coffin nuzzled up to each other and being darkly romantic creatures of the night.
-Couples Halloween shopping, because you both love the season! Picking out items feels a lot like shopping for décor for your first home together as much of it ends up being out all year, like glow in the dark skeletons and bat paper garlands.
-Eddie loves how romantic you can be, setting the mood with red, black and white candles, incense (probably a woodsy smell like patchouli or dragon's blood) and velvet and lace. Whenever he brings you flowers you take to hanging them up on the wall in bunches when they've died ♥

DIY treasure hunting: keys
Tumblr media
Project by Kate Pruitt:
I’m so very excited to introduce Treasure Hunting, a new monthly column for DIY Wednesdays. If you’re like me, you can often be found browsing the aisles of thrift shops, scouring the tables at flea markets or haggling over prices at yard sales. Sometimes you inherit a random item unexpectedly, or perhaps you walk past give-away piles on the street and feel an involuntary cringe over the wasted possibilities. This column stems from those experiences and from a love of objects and their formal properties.
I’m not advocating aggressive hoarding habits by any means, but there are some seemingly mundane, disposable, obsolete objects in the world that are not entirely without merit. Treasure Hunting will take these objects and find a way to make them wonderful again, through their visual impact as a collection or their value as a new and improved functional or decorative item.
The first post is about old keys. The key is a pretty standard tool that we all own, but as a design object, it’s spectacular. The possibilities for using keys in interesting and beautiful ways are endless, so forgive the length of this initial post; they won’t all be this lengthy, I promise. I hope you enjoy the new column and stay tuned for all the treasures yet to come! — Kate

Nothing combines form and function quite like a key. Their beautifully peculiar notches and curves are not just for decoration; the shapes are dictated by the maze of gates inside their corresponding door lock. Maybe if I studied locksmithing a bit, the process would be demystified but as it stands now, keys are magical. They certainly look magical. With a humble purpose, low price point and everyday availability, keys are an untapped resource for creating a captivating home display.
Images, from top: A key display from Llubav Choy Duerr’s living room, a collection of skeleton keys from Country Living
Hanging Composition This style of loosely composed objects as wall décor seems so effortlessly chic to me. I love how it catches the eye, and then allows it to wander off the composition. The beauty is not only in the overall visual impact of the varied shapes and sizes. It’s also in the details you can only see close up, the intricacies and history behind each rusted or labeled key. Another benefit to this display is that you can add to it as time goes on, enriching it with an ongoing collection of pieces found here and there.
How to Get the Look
1. A successful composition can be loose and organically shaped, or rigid and linear. First, measure the size of the wall space you have.
2. Tape off the dimension on the floor so you can roughly plan out a composition to see if it works and to give you an idea of the spacing you need.
3. Begin hanging the keys on the wall using a hammer and small picture-hanging nails or brads. These will cause minimal damage and allow you to make a few adjustments without causing any eyesores in your wall.
4. If you have trouble finding varied sizes or shapes of keys, consider drawing silhouettes of keys onto decorative paper, fabric or wood veneer and add them into the mix. The combination of 2D and 3D objects can be quite striking if there is a common shape that keeps them unified.
5. Carefully place your keys in the frame and replace the backing or glass, and it’s ready to hang!

Framed Key Art Sometimes quantity in a collection is unnecessary. I love the look of a single object or group of objects hovering in a frame. The focus given to a seemingly mundane object once it’s framed is mysterious and visually quite interesting. Placing a small collection of keys in to a framed wall piece is a quick and easy way to display the objects.
How to Get the Look
1. Find a frame or frames that will fit your key collection. If you want to have glass in the frame, you will need to use a shadow box or a frame deep enough to fit your keys. Paint or treat the frame if necessary.
2. Use a piece of cardboard, foam core or wood as the backing for your piece. Cut it to size, so it will fit perfectly within your frame.
3. Cover the backing with paper, linen or a fabric of your choice. Use spray adhesive to attach the paper or fabric to the backing.
4. Use small nails or tacks to hang the keys in place. If your keys are lightweight, you can choose to use a small dab of hot glue at the top of the back of the key to permanently set the keys in place. Remove any loose glue threads by blowing on them for a few seconds with a hairdryer.
5. Carefully place your keys in the frame and replace the backing or glass, and it’s ready to hang!

Loose Keys Keys are like little mysteries unto themselves, which is why they can be charming just on their own to give as present or wear as an accessory. You can personalize a plain key with paint, gold leaf, decoupage and other craft techniques, or you can simply use a beautiful antique key on its own — either way, keys are little treasures that make the perfect objet d’art.
How to Get the Look
1. You can fake the look of these beautiful cast porcelain keys by dipping real keys into plaster-of-Paris or thick white paint. First, bend a few paper clips open and hang them on a string to make drying hooks, and place a layer of newspaper or paper towel underneath the drying station.
2. Mix up the plaster-of-Paris or paint in a small bucket, ensuring you have enough liquid in the bucket to submerge the entire key. Give the key several coats, allowing it to dry between each coat. This will help achieve that thick, made-of-clay appearance.
3. Attach the key with a pretty ribbon to a gift, or string the key on a chain to create a lovely pendant.

■ for bix and tahir ?!
A bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon for Bix and Tahir!
Agh thank you so much for taking interest in my new characters!! I promise I’ll have more info posted on them soon, but for now I’ll answer this question :3
🕊️ - Prior to meeting Tahir, Bix lived in an old grain silo! Before his siblings hatched he needed a place that wasn’t the streets or the woods where he could just care for three kids, and nobody bothered him in the silo, so he ended up making it a home. It started with the nest in the upper catwalk of the silo, but once his siblings hatched their lives obviously expanded into the rest of the silo and Bix fixed it up a great deal. He’s very handy and resourceful, and a lot of the materials he used were other abandoned things like broken carts and chickenwire.
Tumblr media
This is the closest reference I could find but it is. Much less fancy and there are no appliances because it is medieval fantasy times. But if he lived in the present he would for sure like. One of those tiny home DIY people.
👑 - And prior to meeting Bix, Tahir lived in his ancestral home: Somewhat ominously named The Abyssal Keep. (It’s just a palace very deep underground) Living in the Undercommons means access to wood is pretty much nonexistent, so the architecture is elaborate gothic stone carvings and brickwork. However, the only place that Tahir really felt was his own was his bedroom. But just like the rest of the keep it is incredibly gaudy:
Tumblr media
The boy likes silks hanging from the walls and patterns and flowy fabrics and candles. Is it a fire hazard? Yeah. But goddamn does it set a vibe. Imagine stomping off to your room and dramatically falling down onto THAT bed.
Funnily enough Tahir is so much less dramatic than Bix but from the way they’re used to living, you’d think otherwise.

Creative, Unique, and Cute Decorations to Make a Party Unforgettable
Throwing a memorable party involves more than just inviting guests and serving delicious food. The ambiance you create with your decorations plays a crucial role in setting the mood and making your event unforgettable. Here are some creative, unique, and cute decoration ideas that will wow your guests and elevate your celebration.
1. Personalized Balloon Displays
Balloons are a classic party decoration, but you can take them to the next level with personalization. Consider creating a balloon arch or garland in your party's color scheme. For an extra special touch, have balloons printed with names, messages, or even photos. Balloons in unique shapes or metallic finishes can add a fun and elegant twist to your decor.
2. DIY Photo Booth
A DIY photo booth can be a hit at any party. Set up a backdrop using streamers, balloons, or a themed fabric. Provide a variety of props such as hats, glasses, and signs that guests can use to take fun photos. This not only serves as a fantastic decoration but also provides entertainment and memories your guests can take home.
3. Creative Table Settings
Impress your guests with a beautifully set table. Use themed tablecloths, runners, and napkins to create a cohesive look. Unique centerpieces like flower arrangements in quirky containers, decorative candles, or small themed figurines can make your table stand out. Personalized place cards can add an extra touch of charm and make each guest feel special.
4. Enchanting Lighting
Lighting can transform your party space and create a magical atmosphere. String lights, fairy lights, or lanterns can be hung around the room, draped over trees, or strung across a patio. Candles in decorative holders or LED tea lights can add a warm glow. For a whimsical touch, consider using light-up balloons or glow sticks.
5. Customized Party Favors
Give your guests something to remember your party by with customized party favors. Think mini succulents in personalized pots, custom-made candles, or homemade treats in cute packaging. Adding a thank-you note or tag that matches your party's theme can make these favors even more special.
6. Themed Food and Drink Stations
Turn your food and drink stations into part of the decor. Set up themed stations like a candy bar, dessert table, or cocktail area with coordinating decorations. Use creative labels, matching containers, and themed decorations to make these stations visually appealing and fun for your guests to explore.
7. Interactive Wall Art
Interactive wall art can be a fun and unique addition to your party decor. Consider a large chalkboard or whiteboard where guests can leave messages, drawings, or signatures. Alternatively, set up a photo collage wall where guests can pin Polaroid pictures taken during the party. These interactive elements can serve as great keepsakes after the event.
8. Hanging Decorations
Don't forget to decorate above eye level. Hanging decorations like paper lanterns, pom-poms, or streamers can add depth and dimension to your party space. These can be hung from the ceiling, in doorways, or even from trees if your party is outdoors.
9. Cozy Seating Areas
Create cozy seating areas with comfortable chairs, cushions, and throws. This is especially great for more intimate gatherings or outdoor parties. These areas can serve as perfect spots for guests to relax, chat, and enjoy the ambiance.
10. Seasonal Touches

What Are the Best Interior Design Ideas?
Top Creating a balanced and visually appealing home environment can greatly improve your quality of life. Whether you're remodeling your entire home or just a single room, here are some fascinating interior design ideas to consider. 
Embrace Minimalism
Minimalism is a timeless design concept that emphasizes simplicity and usefulness. Begin by cleaning your home and retaining only what you genuinely need and like.
Tumblr media
To create a calm and ordered ambiance, choose furniture with clean lines and neutral hues. To keep surfaces clutter-free, use built-in storage solutions. The mantra "less is more" applies here, letting each piece stand out and be appreciated. 
Mix Modern and Vintage
Combining modern and old components can enhance the depth and character of your decor. Combine a sleek, contemporary sofa with an antique coffee table, or a mid-century modern chair with a rustic wooden cabinet.
This combination produces an eclectic yet unified style in which old and new coexist together. Search flea markets and second-hand stores for one-of-a-kind vintage items to use as focal points in your interiors.
Go Green with Houseplants
Houseplants are a great way to add life and color to your house. They not only purify the air but also bring nature into your home. If you're new to gardening, choose low-maintenance plants such as snake plants, pothos, or succulents.
Use larger plants like fiddle leaf figs or monstera for a more dramatic impact. Arrange them in elegant pots and containers to match your decor. 
Play with Colors and Textures
Don't be afraid to play with colors and textures to create a lively and appealing atmosphere. A fresh coat of paint can transform the atmosphere of a room.
Soft pastels can produce a peaceful atmosphere, but vibrant colors can stimulate and inspire. Mix and combine different materials and fabrics, such as velvet pillows, woolen throws, and silk drapes, to create texture and visual appeal.
Invest in Statement Pieces
A statement piece can be the focal point of your area, capturing attention and adding personality. This may be a striking piece of art, a gorgeous chandelier, or a piece of furniture with a distinct design.
Choose objects that reflect your style and make a strong statement without overpowering the rest of the decor. 
Optimize Natural Light
Natural lighting has a significant impact on how a space feels. Increase the quantity of natural light in your home by hanging light, breezy curtains, or blinds that can be easily drawn back.
Mirrors can also help to reflect light, making a room look larger and brighter. Place mirrors opposite windows to increase the quantity of natural light that enters your area. 
Personalize Your Space
Finally, make sure that your home reflects your personality and interests. Display personal mementos, family photos, and trip souvenirs to fully personalize your room.
DIY projects can also provide a personal touch; for example, you might make your own wall art or customize furniture to match your style.
By incorporating these interior design ideas, you can create a house that is stylish, comfortable, and distinctively your own. Source link
