"do you want me to take care of him?"
kyungsoo's voice is calm as he sits across from you in the kitchen, late-night coffee untouched on the island counter
"no, it's ok. plus you know if it was legal i could right hook him myself."
you flex your arm and kyungsoo cracks a half smirk, eyes big and brown from behind his squared frame glasses
sehun appears from his room and groans, rubbing his head as he takes kyungsoo's untouched cup and swigs it down
"ew! why are you two drinking caffeine at one in the morning!"
he sputters as he slams the cup down and kyungsoo looks apathetically at the splashes of coffee that make their way onto his tshirt
you give him a sympathetic look as you tell sehun to go back to bed - he's your roommate and you know he and kyungsoo get along like a cat and a dog would
"fine. by the way - did your jerk of an ex return your stuff yet?"
you wave your hand and shrug
"no, he just texted me that he threw it all out by accident."
sehun groans with a hand on his hip, mumbling about how in between your things he's pretty sure your ex also took his copy of some video game
he makes himself a glass of water and disappears again and you and kyungsoo are once again left alone together
best friends since high school - he was the only person you could think to call when you'd gotten the infuriating text, along with a number of other rude things your ex had decided to divulge
he had no qualms about driving down here in the dead of night
he has work tomorrow, but he lies when you ask and says he doesn't
you lie and say you don't either because you want more time with him, regardless of this ex drama or not
because
well
you're both in love with each other and it's so painfully obvious to everyone with eyeballs but you two.
not even when you were voted cutest couple by your peers and brushed it off as a prank
not when all through college your partners had brought up the other as a constant wedge between your relationships
not even when your own parents would mistakingly ask if you and kyungsoo were planning on moving in together finally
if there were divine signs in this world, you and kyungsoo were recklessly passing them by
and willful ignorance couldn't even cut it at this point
not when the world seemed to be holding up a neon sign with arrows aimed at your heads flashing: soulmates!
"i just wish i could do something to get back at him though, i know revenge is the low road but..."
you huff and rest your elbows on the island as kyungsoo takes his phone out and places it in front of you
"i have an idea. you haven't texted him back, have you?"
he doesn't blink and you shake your head
"no, plus my read receipts are off."
"then i think my plan might work. it is a little bit risky though."
kyungsoo has always been the levelheaded one of you two, actually, he's outwardly more levelheaded and calm.
you've known him so well that you have seen the occasional, rare outbursts of emotion that are otherwise always hidden
so when he explains his plan - you're surprised by how sly and also how intimate it is
you had expected kyungsoo to say something about reporting your ex's instagram or tracing his IP to block it
when he'd said
"why don't we take a pretend couple photo together and post it now. your ex will think i'm at your place."
it had taken you a whole ten seconds to realize why posting such a photo at this time of the day would probably send your ex into a frenzy
kyungsoo even motions to himself and says he'll take his shirt off for added effect
"i could never ask you to post something like that on your account...."
he pushes his glasses up
"i don't care, social media doesn't impact my daily life anyway."
swallowing the sudden dryness in your throat you are aware of how tiny the walls around you two seem
like they're pushing you together by an unseen magnetic force
"o-ok."
kyungsoo gets up, he flicks his eyes toward sehun's room but the door is shut tightly, and he pads softly toward your door
he's been in your room more than any other friend, he could probably find his way around in complete darkness
and he does - sitting on your bed as you come in after him, flicking the light on
"should i - should i like mess my hair up or something?"
you mean it as a lighthearted quip about the already awkward situation, but kyungsoo pulls you toward him and in between his knees
his hands come up and tussle some of your hair to make it look disheveled.
"take off my glasses"
you reach out and notice the little tremor in your hand as you slip them off
his face is clean and unchanging
has he always been this handsome? something seems even more hot about him after he got discharged.
you place the glasses carefully on your nightstand
"so how do we do this?"
kyungsoo lets his hands splay on the back of your thighs, as quickly as you were standing you end up sitting in his lap - legs wrapped around his waist as he lifts you into a comfortable position.
you position your arm around his neck and then apologize, but he doesn't react
instead he shrugs out of the shirt with your help and loops his finger through the strap of the tank you're wearing
"you don't have to take it off, we can just push the straps down"
the moment is so clearly special, close, and personal
even if it's supposed to be some elaborate laugh in your ex's face. there is not question about the palpable energy in the room.
but you and kyungsoo keep along with the act that it means nothing
that it means nothing when you're pressed against the skin of his chest and kyungsoo is cheek to cheek with you, lips close to your temple
he gives it a small kiss, the kind that flutters something deep in the cavern of your chest, just as you take a photo with his phone
when you both look at it - you don't make a move off his lap and kyungsoo's hand that is close to the curve of your hip doesn't budge either
the picture is so realistic you blurt out
"we really look like a couple."
the silence simmers and simmers and simmers
kyungsoo doesn't try to leave, you don't tell him to go
the clock on his home screen ticks closer and closer to two a.m.
"we should be one."
kyungsoo turns his attention completely on you, your hand on his shoulder curls a little and your nails feel good against him
"we should be what?"
you ask, feeling dumber than you have ever in your life
"be a couple."
kyungsoo uses the hand that's not holding you ontop of him to unlock his phone, navigating with ease to his profile and without any warning, he uploads the photo
captions it with nothing but a heart emoji
and posts it
you think you're going to faint and fall forward into his warm embrace
his phone starts to buzz, even this late at night a photo like that catches the attention of everyone following him
he doesn't look at the notifications - looking at you instead
"what do you say?"
the words don't come to your brain - all these years of pinning in silence
all this time spent pretending you weren't destined to be together to your own annoyance, his, and everyone elses
you see a comment pop up on the post from sehun's profile
"since when does he follow you?"
you mumble and kyungsoo opens it with a swipe of his thumb
oohsehun: thank god. but ewwwww don't bang with me in the house!
oohsehun: also @real__pcy you owe me ten dollars i told you once they break up with their boyfriend these two are going to see the light and finally get together
"see"
kyungsoo hums
"everyone already thinks we're in love - so why don't we just be in love?"
you move in his lap, acutely aware of the friction you both create like this
"do you want to be in love with me?"
you murmur, heartbeat starting to ring in your ears as you wait for him to answer
kyungsoo licks his lips and takes in a deep breath
"i don't have a choice, i have always been in love with you."
you think your heart stops - just for a second - because you can't hear it anymore
suddenly everything is full of kyungsoo
and you push him back onto your sheets to press your mouth open and hot to his
beside your bodies his phone pings with more and more notifications
most of them are congratulations and exclamations that mirror sehun's.
one is an angry stupid comment from your ex, but kyungsoo and you don't have to do anything.
sehun takes care of that in a single reply for you two
(everyone agrees with him and by the time you and kyungsoo wake up later, your ex has deleted the comment like the embarrassment he is)
