warnings: hangman being annoying, mav making you jump, i don’t think there’s anything else lmfao
summary: having feelings/the hots for mav and hangman notices, then so does phoenix..
My fingers were grasping the pool cue as I leaned over the table, lining up my shot. Suddenly, I felt like someone was unnecessarily close to me. "I saw how you were lookin' at Pops, Y/C/S." Hangman mumbled in my ear, glancing between my pool cue and my frustrated eyes. I felt his hot breath on my neck, tickling my lobe like an annoying stray strand of hair.
"Do you mind, Bagman?" I retorted back quietly. "Trying to sink the winning shot here." I grit my teeth, ignoring his previous comment. If I don't entertain it, he'll forget about it. I'm praying that some random hot woman walks into the bar right now - the man's only weakness. Please God, make some hot bimbo stroll in here.
Hangman held his hands up in defence and slowly retreated backwards, the void of his presence leaving a scent of his strong cologne in the air. As I pulled my arm back to hit the shot, Hangman shouted from behind me. "Hey Mav, mind getting us another round? It's your turn next." He shouted, giving me a fright from the sudden noise. My arm shot forward in instinct, thus whiffing the shot and most likely losing the game. I was up against Coyote and the man never misses. I let out a grunt of annoyance and instantly turned around to face Hangman, my blood boiling as my twitching eyes met his smug face. I raised the pool cue at him, pointing it at his neck.
"Are you really that fucking brainless, Seresin?" I seethed, trying to remain calm and keep my cool. He slowly raised a hand, pushing the pool cue away from his neck with the back of his hand, moving closer towards me.
"That really got you fired up, huh?" Hangman taunted me, smirking. "You really do-" I quickly cut him off with my sharp tone.
"Can it, Hangman." I sighed, turning back around to see Coyote standing and facing me with another smug look on his face. He leant against the table, pool cue in front of his body with his hands clasped around it.
"GGs, Y/C/S. Shame though." He winked at me, in which I rolled my eyes in return. A short chorus of cheers came from Bob, Fanboy and Payback who were sat to the far right of Phoenix and Coyote. I whipped my head towards them with a sharp look and they soon went silent, busying themselves with the condensation on their beer bottles. "Better luck next time."
"GGs, Coyote," I said, reaching for my glass of whiskey which was sat on the bar table beside me. I swung it back, swallowing the last couple gulps of it. I sat it back down with a thud, and exhaled quietly, enjoying the intensifying burn in my throat. "I'll be back." I said curtly, side-eyeing Jake as I walked off.
Within a couple moments I reached the bar, my forearms making contact with the cool wooden surface as I leant against it. I groaned to myself. "Rough night?" A familiar voice suddenly said, making me jump. They laughed at my reaction.
"Jesus, Mav, don't do that." My hand rushed to clutch my chest and steadied my now-racing heart beat. I swallowed thickly, trying to suppress the nervous feeling within me. Hangman was right. "And sort of, just Hangman being a tool." I grumbled.
"Nothing new then." Maverick's lips curled into a grin, flashing his pearly whites at me. I couldn't hide the smile that formed on my face as I looked at the older pilot. "What are you having?" He asked, eyeing my empty hands.
"Whiskey." I pursed my lips, looking away from the handsome aviator. I glanced at the surface that my fingers were tapping against and then back to Mav, who cocked a brow, trying to hide his amusement.
"Damn, Hangman really must be taking it out of you!" Maverick laughed, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise, another grin breaking out on his face. I joined in with his laughter and shook my head vigorously. As I was about to reply, he spoke again. "Hey Penny, can you add a whiskey to that, please?" The captain asked, leaning over the bar so his request reached the bartender we all know so well. My eyes widened as he finished his question. Penny gave him a thumbs up to Maverick as she was popping the tops off the beers.
"Hey!" I gasped, staring at Maverick in disbelief. A smug smile only creeped onto his lips as he sipped his beer like nothing happened. "Mav, you didn't have to do that." I sighed, feeling a little guilty. The man's earnings literally just go down the drain here. I reached into my back pocket, searching for a rogue five dollar note.
"It's not a problem, Y/C/S," He said, holding his hand up to refuse my non-verbal offer as his eyes fell to my hand fishing in my back pocket. "I'm getting the next round anyway, so it's only fair." He shrugged, trying to suppress the smirk that was so obviously forming on his face. I looked away from the pilot, trying to conceal the blush that was flowering on my cheeks.
"Alright." I nodded, suddenly having an idea pop into my head. "At least let me help you carry them back and buy you a drink afterwards?" I folded my arms against my chest and Maverick chuckled, shaking his head. I frowned and my arms unfolded as I threw them up in defiance. "Oh come on, old man!"
"Nope." He finished the rest of his beer, his lips popping on the rim of the bottle. In perfect timing, Penny served the open beers and Maverick stood up, his head reaching a couple inches above me. I felt a pool of heat suddenly writhe in the pit of my stomach. He slid my whiskey towards me with a wink, and a smile I couldn't stop broke out on my face. I swallowed again, trying to hide the blush that was threatening to turn redder. Son of a bitch. "Thanks Penny." He said, sending her a kind smile, she only nodded with a grin before moving onto her next customers. My fingers clutched the glass of whiskey in my hand as Maverick somehow picked up all seven bottles in his arms, and started on his way towards the group. I groaned and followed him.
"There he is!" Hangman cheered at Maverick as he reached the table, setting down the bottles of beer. "Much appreciated, Pops." He smirked, grabbing a bottle from the table, and the rest of the squad soon followed suit. A series of thanks was said.
I settled myself between Phoenix and Bob, my eyes locked on the captain across the room. He was laughing heartily at something Rooster said, his eyes creasing and nose wrinkling. I looked away at the heart-warming sight, trying to ignore the feelings bubbling up inside me. A soft gasp came from beside me. "Oh my god, Seresin was right..." Phoenix suddenly said from beside me, her eyes widening in joy and surprise.
"What?" I said as my eyes darted to hers in confusion. My brows instantly knitted together and I sipped on my drink. My heart dropped as I realised what she was talking about, making my eyes go wide like a deer caught in headlights.
"You've got a thing for Maverick!" She laughed and poked my sides and I squeaked, almost choking on my drink.
"Shh!" I hushed my close friend, grabbing her arm and pulling her to the side. "Look, yeah, it's true. I do have a... 'thing' for Maverick," I sighed, closing my eyes momentarily to curse myself for doing such a thing. "But nothing will come of it, nothing can." I shrugged, sipping my whiskey again and stealing a glance at Maverick from across the room. My breath hitched in my throat as I saw he was already looking over here, although he quickly redirected his gaze elsewhere.
"Wait," Phoenix scoffed, brows furrowing in confusion as her eyes locked with my glass of whiskey. "Did he buy you a drink?" She asked, a Cashmere Cat-like grin spreading on her face.
"Yeah." I shrugged, not really understanding why she was grinning like a character from Alice in Wonderland. "He was buying a round anyway." I added.
"Y/C/S, buying a round is usually only beers." Phoenix couldn't hide the excitement on her face. "You should go talk to him." I rolled my eyes at her suggestion, but my eyes soon found Maverick again as he patted Rooster on the shoulder, heading towards the bar doors towards the beach. I looked back at Phoenix, who had already followed my gaze the second I looked away. I sighed in defeat. "Now is the perfect time!" She sing-songed, widening her eyes at me.
"Alright, alright," I groaned, swinging back another sip of whiskey. "Wait, what if he doesn't feel the same way, Phoenix? Then what?" I questioned, nibbling on my lower lip.
"He will, just trust me." She placed a firm hand on my shoulder, staring me in the eyes.
Fuck my life. I groaned again to myself and set my glass of whiskey down, and headed for the beach doors. "Okay, just breathe," I muttered as I pushed the doors open, darkness surrounding me. The loud noise of the bar disappeared and the white door clicked shut as I slowly walked out into the colder air. Looking up, I saw thousands upon millions of bright stars in the sky, all shining perfectly. The sand was lukewarm beneath my feet as I wandered further forward, my eyes searching the beach to try and spot Maverick. A feeling of defeat started to engulf me as I wondered whether he decided to go home instead. "Thanks, Phoenix." I grumbled, letting my head loll back to look up at the painted night sky again.
"What did Phoenix do?" That familiar voice asked, making me jump again. I whipped around to see Maverick, who had a confused smile on his face. All negative feelings suddenly disappeared from my body and I felt warm inside as I looked at him.
"Stop doing that!" I smiled, playfully pushing against his chest. It was harder and firmer than I thought it would be which took me by surprise.
"I'm sorry." He said, before nodding at me. "Your callsign definitely fits you." He chuckled. I blushed, wrinkling my nose at him for a split second. "What are you doing out here?" He finally asked.
"Um," I choked. "I actually came to find you." I admitted, lifting my foot and tucking it behind my opposing leg as the cold night wind whipped my hair across my face. "I-I have to tell you something." Maverick looked a little concerned now which wasn't really helping.
"What is it, Y/N?" Maverick softened his tone this time. My heart warmed at the use of my real name, and I smiled weakly, relishing in the moment before disaster hit.
"I, uh," I stumbled over my words, trying to find the confidence to speak them. "I sort of have feelings for you." I finally said, feeling the blood drain from my face. I couldn't meet Maverick's eyes; too afraid of what I'd see. The silence was too long, and so I forced myself to look up, finding the captain in front of me, his hand reaching up to brush my hair behind my ear. My mouth was slightly agape in shock, and I couldn't speak. "Am I dreaming?" I mumbled, mainly to myself, but Mav heard me.
"No, sweetheart," He hummed, staring at me like I was the most delicate thing in the world right now. The pet name set my heart alight. "You have no idea how many times I've thought about this moment, Y/N." He mumbled, setting his other hand on my waist. A smile formed on my lips as I leaned towards him, slowly. Pete copied me, his hot breath caressing my cheeks. My tongue poked out to wet my lips as he gently brought my face to his, connecting our lips. He kissed me softly, and I melted under his touch. My hands reached up to snaked around his neck as I relaxed into him, pressing my body against his. Maverick pulled away and his eyes studied my face ever so slowly, meeting my eyes.
"I.." I muttered, absolutely speechless. Never did I think that I was going to kiss my captain tonight. The corners of his eyes creased as he smiled at me again, placing a kiss on my nose. As I giggled at his gesture, a cold breeze of wind whipped past me. I shivered in which Maverick quickly removed his green bomber jacket and placed it around my shoulders.
"Better?" He asked, running another gentle hand through my wind-whipped hair. I bravely pressed another kiss to his lips, to which he graciously accepted. "C'mon, let's head back inside."
"Okay," As we turned around to head back, the whole squad was staring out through the windows and they instantly cheered and whistled at us as we stared at them.
"Pops' still got it!" Hangman whooped from the stairs, his hand gripping the rail as he threw his other hand in the air. Mav's hand found it's way to my waist as we walked back towards them. He pulled me close into his side and I melted into it, laying my head upon his chest; smile beaming.
As we walked inside the bar again, the squad reassembled and began to argue over the pool table and who was playing next. Maverick gently pulled me to the side, a grin forming on his lips. "Still cold?" He asked playfully and stared into my eyes.
"Maybe just a little." I teased, narrowing my eyes at him with a mischievous smile. He hummed before cocking a brow, walking backward to a chair and plonking himself down in it. His hand patted his lap as a smirk broke out on his face. I bit my lip and sauntered towards him, placing myself in his lap, hands snaking around his neck again. "Comfy?" I giggled.
"Definitely." He mumbled with a grin, stealing another kiss from my lips. My heart was happy and I was absolutely ecstatic. I had to remember to thank Phoenix after we leave.
"Get a room, Mav!" Rooster hollered from the other side of the room, an amused grin on his lips.

Greenlandic lesson 12
So far: lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3, lesson 4, lesson 5, lesson 6, lesson 7, lesson 8, lesson 9, lesson 10, lesson 11 and Greenlandic stress
Learn this course’s words with this memrise course.
Text lessons by @tulunnguaq: All his posts.
What you will learn: weak geminating stems #1, transitive verbs #1 
Weak geminating stems #1
In lesson 7, I first introduced you to weak and strong nouns. In lesson 9, we spoke about slightly irregular weak nouns and in lesson 10, we dealt with possessive nouns. But many weak nouns (some strong nouns, too, though) also have another feature, they geminate the last consonant of the stem when certain endings are applied to it. Gemination is the doubling of a consonant so that it is pronounced twice as long. The tricky part here is not only to remember when gemination happens but also how the consonant changes, because a doubled consonant can change its pronunciation completely. You’ve already encountered that in lesson 3, when we spoke about verb stems and their assimilation with the ending -vu- like in sinippoq (coming from sinik+vu+q, where /k+v/ assimilate to /vv/ but I told you there that /vv/ cannot exist as a geminated consonant but changes in verbal paradigms to /pp/ (thus, sinippoq) and in nominal paradigms to /ff/ (for example iga* + -’vik becomes igaffik - kitchen)
Let’s get started with easy predictable stuff: 1. All weak nouns ending in -k geminate. (Remember, most nouns ending in -k are strong, though.) 2. All nouns ending in -gaq, -raq, -utaq and -seq geminate. 3. All weak nouns ending in -q and -k, lose this consonant everywhere except for the absolutive singular.  4. Gemination can only occur when the last consonant of the stem (i. e. before the then vanished -q and -k) is a single consonant (<ng> counts as a single consonant). 5. Gemination cannot occur when the ending starts with a vowel or with /r/.
Here is a little illustration of the above rules:
1. ujamik - pearl necklace, ends in /-k/, thus, always geminates when the ending starts with a consonant other than /r/. > ujammip - the necklace’s, but ujamika - his/her necklace 2. aalisagaq - fish > aalisakkap - the fish’s; meeraq - child > meeqqap - the child’s; ilaqutaq - family member > ilaquttap - the family member’s; taseq - lake > tatsip - the lake’s (see below for the strange consonant changes) 3+4. qimmeq - dog > qimmit - dogs; it has a double consonant, thus, cannot be geminated. Also, it loses its final /q/ except for the absolutive singular. isigak - foot, however, loses its /k/, too, but geminates the single /g/ to /kk/ > isikkat - feet. 5. meeraq - child > meeqqat - children, but meeraa - his/her child (ending is -a), meerarsi - your (Pl.) child (ending is -rsi).
These are absolute rules, that apply (almost) always. There are, however, a lot of rules with only high probability about their outcome, whilst having many exceptions, though.
Generally, many stems that have a single -g-, -j-, -l-, -m-, -n-, -ng-, -q-, -r-, -s-, -t- in their last syllable geminate. Unfortunately, one has to learn exceptions to these by heart, but the information on this can be found in most dictionaries. In the following, you will find a list of examples beginning with the consonants that geminate predictably from the single form, e.g. /t/, to the doubled form, /tt/. The list follows the classical layout of naming the Absolutive Singular as the basic form, and then giving the Ergative Singular, the Ergative/Absolutive Plural and the Instrumental Singular (s. lesson 7).
/m/ becomes /mm/ ameq (skin) > ammip, ammit, ammimik imaq (sea) > immap, immat, immamik isuma (meaning) > isummap, isummat, isummamik
/n/ becomes /nn/ kiinaq (face) > kiinnap, kiinnat, kiinnamik nanoq (polar bear) > nannup, nannut, nannumik
/ng/ becomes /nng/ qingaq (nose) > qinngap, qinngat, qinngamik sapangaq (pearl) > sapanngap, sapanngat, sapanngamik
/q/ becomes /qq/ niaqoq (head) > niaqqup, niaqqut, niaqqumik oqaq (tongue) > oqqap, oqqat, oqqamik
/t/ becomes /tt/ avataq (hunting float) > avattap, avattat, avattamik iperaataq (whip) > iperaattap, iperaattat, iperaattamik
/l/ becomes /ll/ (keep in mind, /ll/ is pronounced [ɬɬ]) uiloq (common mussel) > uillup, uillut, uillumik ukaleq (arctic hare) > ukallip, ukallit, ukallimik kalaaleq (Greenlander) > kalaallip, kalaallit, kalaallimik (That is why the Equative Singular ���as a Greenlander” used for the language name has gemination “Kalaallisut”)
Some consonants change, however, when they are geminated. (This is not the rule for all cases, consonant doublings can behave differently depending on the context, in this case it is declension.)
/g/ becomes /kk/ iigaq (wall): *iigga- ~ iikka- > iikkap, iikkat, iikkamik isigak (foot): *isigga- ~ isikka- > isikkap, isikkat, isikkamik putugoq (big toe): *putuggu- ~ putukku- > putukkup, putukkut, putukkumik
/r/ becomes /qq/ amaroq (wolf): *amarru- ~ amaqqu- > amaqqup, amaqqut, amaqqumik siuteroq (snail): *siuterru- ~ siuteqqu- > siuteqqup, siuteqqut, siuteqqumik ujarak (stone): *ujarra- ~ ujaqqa- > ujaqqap, ujaqqat, ujaqqamik
/s/ becomes /ts/ qarasak (brain): *qarassa- ~ qaratsa- > qaratsap, qaratsat, qaratsamik
/j/ becomes /ss/ or /ts/ kanajoq (sea scorpion): *kanajju- ~ kanassu- > kanassup, kanassut, kanassumik nujaq (head hair): *nujja- ~ nutsa- > nutsap, nutsat, nutsamik tarajoq (salt): *tarajju- ~ taratsu- > taratsup, taratsut, taratsumik (Actually, there is no double /j/, so it becomes /tt/ or /kk/, in our case it is /tt/ which is in a second change turning into /ss/ or /ts/. Which of both cannot be predicted.)
Some nouns can be declined differently, sometimes they are geminating, sometimes not, some can be either weak or strong. It depends on the speaker, personal preference, the dialect and the age of the speaker. One example is taleq (see above) which can also be declined as the following: taleq (arm) > talerup, talerit, talermik
In the next lesson, we will deal with consonants that aren’t represented orthographically, but which become visible when they are geminated.
Transitive verbs #1
We have already learned a fair bit about verbs in Greenlandic. In lesson 3, you’ve encountered attributive verbs, the three kinds of verb stems and their personal endings, which are the same for intransitive verbs in general. In lesson 4, you learned how to pose questions by changing the endings. And in lesson 7, you’ve already built sentences with the antipassive structure that come close to a transitive meaning. The verb conjugation, however, was the same intransitive building as you learned in lesson 3. In lesson 10, we took an excursion to the similarities between the possessive endings and the transitive verb endings when the object is the third person singular or plural. 
Transitivity is when the meaning of a verb requires two participants: a subject and an object. The verb “to sleep” is intransitive as it only requires the one participant that sleeps: Sinippoq - S/he sleeps. You cannot sleep someone: *Sinippaa. - *S/he sleeps him/her. Other verbs, however, like “to kill” cannot be expressed without mentioning two participants, the one who kills (the subject, agent) and that who/what is killed (the object). “to kill” means “toqup-” and the sentence “S/he kills him/her.” would be: Toquppaa. That is the ending that you have already seen in lesson 10. Without context, the intransitive form *Toquppoq. - *S/he kills. wouldn’t make much sense. 
In general, Greenlandic verbs conjugate according to person (I, you, s/he/it, 4th person), number (I vs. we, you vs. y’all, s/he/it vs. they, 4th person vs. 4th persons) and mode (four superordinate modes for main clauses: indicative, interrogative, imperative and optative; and four subordinate modes for dependent clauses: conjunctive, conditional, participative and contemporative). This may sound like a lot, but we will get to that and you have already mastered most of the intransitive indicative and interrogative modes. Here is how a chart of mode endings would look like (from the Grønlandsk grammatik of Flemming A.J. Nielsen 2014)
Tumblr media
You already know the indicative.intransitive ending +vu- from sentences like “angivugut - we are big”, the negated form (benægtet form) “anginngilagut - we are not big” and the interrogative forms “angivugut? - are we big?”, “angivisi? - are you guys big?” and “angippat? - are they big?” (from the intermediate form angivvat > angippat), plus their negated forms.
How to build the transitive forms
What we will learn today are the endings for the indicative transitive mode, of which the basic ending is +va-. 
As you’ve seen above, transitive verbs do not only agree with the subject (”S/he sleeps”.) but also with the object of the verb, which is unknown to English. There are two ways to explain which ending comes after +va- for which person constellation. The short story will regard the personal endings as monomorphemic for the sake of less confusion. So, when I’d say “I answer you.” the sentence would be “Akivakkit.” (akivoq means “S/he answers” and keep in mind that in most dictionaries verb entries are given with the 3. person singular by default, for intransitive verbs the verbal ending of an entry would be +voq and for transitive verbs it would be +vaa s/he-->him/her) The mode ending is +va-, as said above, and the ending that denotes that the verb’s meaning has I as the subject and you as the object (1Sg--X-->2Sg) is -kkit, so you add +vakkit to the verb stem aki- making akivakkit - I answer you. So, for every possible personal constellation, one ending would have to be learned, that would be 28 in total.
The long story would have to do with ergativity in Greenlandic, the agent of the verb takes the Ergative case and the object takes the Absolutive case. Ergativity means that the subject of an intransitive verb has the same case marker as the object of a transitive verb (unlike English, *Him sleeps vs. I see him), in this case, the object would have the markers you’ve already encountered in lesson 3. In fact, the endings for the personal constellations (I do XXX to you.) consist of two morphemes that underly so many extra rules that their true character is very often obscure. I will only illustrate this with the ending -kkit (I --> you, see above) which is built according to the following rules:
The first part after the mode ending +va- of those endings consists of the agent of the verb’s meaning in the Relative case, which would be -ma- in this case. When it is the subject of a transitive verb it gets reduced to -m-. In the next step, we take the second person singular in the absolutive case as the object ending, which would be -tit, and put it after the subject ending, but whenever the subject before it is either the first person singular or plural it becomes -git. This would leave us which: (+va)-m+git. As you may know by now, the consonants would assimilate to the last consonant, which would lead us to (+va)-ggit, but a double /gg/ becomes /kk/ when it is used with inflection (see gemination above), which eventually, makes the whole ending (+va)-kkit. 
But as this is way too long for the basics in Greenlandic transitivity, it should suffice to learn the endings as one morpheme as an intermediate step, which would leave you with 28 endings for all the possible constellations within the indicative mode, instead of 47+ independent endings, that undergo more than 30 rules on how they change forms when they are combined depending on what comes before or after them.
In lesson 10, you’ve already learned some possessive endings, which are also used for whenever a person is doing a verb action to a third person singular or plural. In layman’s term, one can only possess grammatically third person(s). The only catch here: the endings are simpler and always the same (that’s a good catch, YAY). 
Here is how the ending +va- changes according to the verb stem (s. lesson 3):  Vowel stem: aki- +va- > akiva- (to answer) C-Stem: allap- +va- > allappa- (to write sth.) R-Stem: atuar- +va- > atuarpa- (to read sth)
Object is the third person singular (3.Sg.) - thus: him, her, it 1.Sg. +ra, I > akivara > I answer him. 2.Sg. +t > You > allappat > You write it. 3.Sg. +a > S/he > atuarpaa > S/he reads it. 1.Pl. +rput > We > allapparput > We write it. 2.Pl. +rsi > Y’all > akivarsi > Y’all answer him. 3.Pl. +at > They > atuarpaat > They read it.
Object is the third person plural (3.Pl.) - thus: them 1.Sg. +kka, I > akivakka > I answer them. 2.Sg. +tit > You > allappatit > You write them. 3.Sg. +i > S/he > atuarpai > S/he reads them. 1.Pl. +vut > We > allappavut > We write them. 2.Pl. +si > Y’all > akivasi > Y’all answer them. 3.Pl. +it > They > atuarpaat > They read them. (A!-rule)  (As you see, there is no distinction between singular or plural third person object because the /i/ from the plural ending is assimilated to the preceding /a/.)
As mentioned in lesson 10, the similarity between the possessive endings and the endings to mark the object as a third person comes from a structure where the verb’s passive participle was, in fact, possessed: qimmeq > qimmera - my dog vs. akivara - lit. my answered thing (is) he > I answer him. That is the reason why, as I mentioned in the short story of the long explanation above, these endings are really monomorphemic, they only mark the possessor, in this case the subject/agent of the sentence. 
Now, that we covered all constellations where any person does the verb’s action against/to a third person (sg. or pl.), I will show you what endings are used for the remaining constellations, e.g. you kiss me. Keep in mind, though, that reciprocal constellations like I--XXX-->myself/us are another cake that we will deal with later, they cannot be built this way.
That leaves us with the following constellations:
I-->you +kkit > akivakkit > I answer you. I-->y’all +ssi > akivassi > I answer y’all.
We-->you +tsigit > akivatsigit > We answer you. We-->y’all +ssi > akivassi > We answer y’all.
You-->me +rma > akivarma > You answer me. You-->us +tsigut > akivatsigut > You answer us. Y’all-->me +ssinga > akivassinga > Y’all answer me. Y’all-->us +tsigut > akivatsigut > Y’all answer us.
S/he-->me +anga > akivaanga > S/he answers me. S/he-->you +aatit > akivaatit > S/he answers you. ** S/he-->us +atigut > akivaatigut > S/he answers us. S/he-->y’all +asi > akivaasi > S/he answers y’all.
They-->me +anga > akivaanga > They answer me. They-->you +atsit > akivaatsit > They answer you. ** They-->us +atigut > akivaatigut > They answer us. They-->y’all +asi > akivaasi > They answer y’all. ** These are the only endings in these last two paradigms where you can distinguish the number of the subject in the 3. person.
Whilst in English, almost the whole verbal paradigm has the same form, except for the third person singular (I/you/we/they sleep vs. S/he sleeps), there are fewer forms in Greenlandic that are ambiguous: Akivaat. - They answer him or them. Akivassi. - I or we answer y’all. Akivatsigut. - You or Y’all answer us. Akivaanga. - S/he or they answer me. Akivaatigut. - S/he or they answer us. Akivaasi. - S/he or they answer y’all. Allappat - You write it. or They write? (see lesson 4 for questions) In these cases, context is needed to make things clear, just as context is needed to know whether in the sentence “I see you.” means one or more persons that I see.
To come back the long story from above, can you spot the intransitive endings from lesson 3 at the end of the endings above?
Right: Akivassi has -si as in intransitive Angivusi - Y’all are big. Akivassinga has -nga as in intransitive Angivunga - I am big. Akivatsigut has -gut as in intransitive Angivugut - We are big. Akivaatit has -tit as in intransitive Angivutit - You are big.
As mentioned above, ergativity means to have the same case marker for the subject of an intransitive sentence Angivunga (I am big) and for the object of a transitive sentence Akivaanga (S/he answers me). This pattern can be seen here and is pretty different from English. We will deal with this pattern in the next lessons in more detail.
One last thing is, that Greenlandic is considered a pro-drop language, that means, that personal pronouns don’t have to be used because the verbal endings already make it very clear which persons are involved. Spanish, for example is also a pro-drop language, so, Te amo - I love you only expresses the object as a personal pronoun, not the subject, because the -o ending at the verb makes it clear enough that it is the first person singular. Greenlandic differs from this insofar as the object is also encoded in the verbal ending, so that also the object pronoun can be left out: Asavakkit - I love you.
The next lesson will be about how we use nouns with these verbs. Then, we will also have to deal with ergativity in more detail.

__________ 
“Congratulations Y/N! Your album has risen up the charts and is now number three worldwide on iTunes!” Manager unnie announced, embracing you. 
Your jaw was still agape in shock, still unable to comprehend what had happened. After two failed chances of debut, your company - WannaWrite Entertainment - expanded their budget and finally, debuted you as a solo artist. CEO L and N might have mortgaged both their houses to fund your promotions but it didn’t seem to affect them. In fact, your CEOs seemed glad your debut was doing well. 
It might as well have been a miracle. 
You nearly made the final lineup for MAUVE when they debuted but was cut off after you suffered an ankle injury. Your unnies still showered you with their love and support, even telling their fanbase to go support your debut. 
“The company has decided to give you two days off while we sort out your new schedule. Go enjoy yourself but don’t do anything stupid.” You rolled your eyes at your manager’s words but assured her you would be fine. 
The first thing you did was to search for your MAUVE sisters in the building but found out that they were out of the country to promote in Taiwan. You weren’t super close to some of the new trainees in your company but they didn’t seem very welcoming either. Finally, you settled on calling Samuel and Somi, two of your very close dongsaengs. Surprisingly, both of them weren’t occupied in that moment despite their busy schedules. 
“Ahh! Y/N, we must go out and celebrate!” Samuel insisted. 
“Y/N! Is it okay if I invite Lee Daehwi? He’s also Samuel’s friend. He’s from Wanna One, he really likes your album,” Somi asked, sugar dripping from her voice and you could almost imagine the batting of her eyelids. Looks like she really wanted Daehwi along…… 
Wanna One? Isn’t that the boy group CEO L really likes? I should accept this offer. 
Giggling, you agreed to meet up with them at a mall nearby all the entertainment companies. Somi was going to treat everyone to lunch. 
It had been the longest time you had seen her and nearly cried when she started being all emotional and deep, talking about her debut and then yours. Samuel didn’t have any words and just kept embracing you while congratulating you. At first, Daehwi was rather shy, he hid behind his two friends a lot, blushing, but once all the introductions had been made, you clicked instantly. You two shared a bucket of popcorn at the movies and Daehwi even took multiple polaroids together. You found the younger boy very likeable. 
“Y/N, now that you are an idol, would you want to date anyone?” Samuel suddenly asked before returning to sipping on his soda. Somi nodded eagerly, smirking. Daehwi just smiled, running a hand through his hair. 
You hated to disappoint but shook your head and waved your hand dismissively. “Not really…but we have to see. You never know who comes along.”
… 
Jisung narrowed his eyes at Daehwi when the younger boy entered the house looking more triumphant than ever. “Daewhi-ah, did you do something? What’s up?“ 
Daewhi shook his head but couldn’t keep the smile off his face. I mean, he spent nearly the entire afternoon out with another idol he really respected and looked up to no doubt that he was more senior in the industry. Not to mention the fact that Daniel hyung has a tremendous crush on her! Ever since her debut he hadn’t shut up about her! I think he even owns a signed copy of her first single, he may have bought it online. “Ohhh, nothing,” he sang, causing more suspicion to rise from his hyungs. 
Jaewhan, who was sitting on the kitchen counter, shot him a weird look. “Did you…wait- just tell us what you did,” he pushed. Before Daehwi could reply, a loud yell sounded from upstairs. “Yah! What’s happening up there? Stop fighting!” Sungwoon shouted, revealing more of his ‘aunty’ side. He looked like he was about to jump from his seat on the sofa and start taking out slippers to hit someone. Jisung grabbed his dongsaeng’s arm, pressing a finger to his lips. “Let them come and explain." 
Speak of the devil, Woojin and Guanlin came running down the staircase, phones in their hands and muttering some gibberish. They seemed terribly flustered and nearly tackled Daehwi on the ground. 
Jaewhan walked over to examine the photo. It was a photo that Samuel had taken of you, Daehwi, himself and Somi out at lunch. Jaewhan swiped right to reveal the next post which happened to be the cute selca you had taken with Samuel. 
bravpunxh 
fun day out with my best friends. Congratulations on your album Y/N! You’re doing so well even if it isn’t long after your debut….i’m jealous. Continue to work hard, proud of you ❤️ tagged: @leedaehwi, @somijeon, @Y/N
He too, nearly screamed. 
"Daehwi was out with Samuel without telling us!" 
"Oh my god, is that Somi?”
“I miss Samuel!" 
"Wait, did you say Y/N?" 
At the mention of your name, Daniel perked up and nearly sprung out from where he had been lying down lazily. He was fully alert now. Jihoon passed him Woojin’s phone which was still on Samuel’s Instagram page. His eyes widened significantly. Firstly, he couldn’t help but notice how gorgeous you were, you were beaming brightly and glowing happily, that made him cheer up a lot more. After that, he frowned when he noticed how comfortable you were with Samuel, kissing his cheek while winking and whatnot. Then, he realised that Daehwi was the one who had rested his head on your shoulder. Daniel gritted his teeth, jaw locked.
"Oh my god, is Daniel hyung jealous?” Jinyoung teased, poking his hyung’s cheek. “Ahh! He is!" 
Daehwi patted his shoulder. "Yah, it’s okay hyung. I can introduce you to her.”
Daniel shrugged nonchalantly but on the inside, his heart was going to beat out of his chest and he suppressed the urge to squeal like a fanboy. 
Y/N knows of Wanna One! She knows about my existence! 
“I wonder if we’ll bump into her at any showcase….since our comeback was pretty close to hers,“ Seongwoo muttered absent-mindedly. That got Daniel’s heart in a mess. 
… 
CONFIRMED: Y/N to perform at MNET Countdown comeback showcase [ send help I still dk what it’s called ] 
The headline were in red, bolded, as if they were a flag to catch Daniel’s attention. The boys were taking a break from practising for their comeback stage and the news had just been confirmed to the world. He clutched his phone to his chest, attempting to regulate his breathing. 
Oh my god….what is she doing to me? Is this how my fans feel? Oh my god, I can’t handle this. 
Using his hand Daniel began to fan his face, which was heating up rapidly. Before any of his friends could make an odd comment, he excused himself and ran to hide in his workroom. "Ah! Daniel-ah, what happened to you? Why are you getting so worked up over a someone?” He scolded himself in a whisper. He had never become so flustered in his entire life. Perhaps it was the fact that due to all his training, he knew relationships were and huge no-no. Maybe this was the only time where he had a chance, both of you were idols and bound to meet somewhere along the line. 
Daniel typed your name into the search bar. 
Y/N reveals the boy group with her favourite visuals 
Y/N set to release Asia tour dates soon, WannaWrite Entertainment confirms
The rising queen of kpop? Y/N has become a global hit, maintaining top spots on world iTunes chart. 
He clicked on the link to the first article. 
‘In a recent interview with KBS, 18 year old rising idol Y/N may have let it slip which idols she found attractive. Other than mentioning her love for fans, she didn’t fail to make her adoration for fellow celebrities known. “I really love icons like Big Bang and SHINee, they are real inspirations to me.” She had said…’
Daniel sighed and skipped over that part, he scrolled down more. 
'When asked if she was interested in dating, Y/N simply smiled but shook her head, saying that of course there were people she found attractive but wanted to focus on her career rather than dating. However, Y/N did blush at the mention of celebrity crushes, no one can escape the love bug. She listed popular and established boy groups such as BTS and EXO to be incredibly attractive but not to sleep on smaller groups such as Hotshot or KNK. Additionally, she mentioned her incredible amount of respect for them and would like to work together someday.’
Oh my god, just get on with it. Daniel groaned and searched more. 
 ‘Y/N also talked about her other idol friends. She was seen out with Kim Samuel, Jeon Somi and Wanna One’s Lee Daehwi recently to celebrate the success of her album. Y/N was very grateful for all their constant support and thanks her sisters in MAUVE for paving a better way for her. She hinted at a close collaboration between her and Somi then added she would like to befriend all of Wanna One. 'I think they’re all very handsome too,’ she admitted while giggling. 'I love their visuals but they also have a lot of talent that isn’t to be wasted. It’s sad they won’t last very long, I’d like to see them succeed in their short time together as a group.' 
Daniel felt something stab at his heart, it was the knife of realisation that he wouldn’t be in Wanna One a few years from now and vowed to make the best of everything. Another thing also speared his delicate heart, you knew about Wanna One, you seemed to like them too. He felt special. 
“Yah! Daniel hyung! Are you in here?” Jihoon’s calls accompanied by knocks on the door shattered that feeling. He sighed but went back to practice, his motivation was to impress you on Saturday.
… 
The shouts and cheers of the fans were already loud while you were in the car but once you stepped outside, the roars were nearly deafening. Your bodyguard and security paved the way to the entrance. 
It was chaotic good. 
Camera flashes went off and you pushed your sunglasses higher up the bridge of your nose, forcing a smile on your face even though you almost tripped over your own feet.
Phew. I think this crowd is only a fraction of what MAUVE unnies handle. 
The second you stepped through the glass doors of the venue, you were scooped off by assistants to your dressing room. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry but this was no new scene for you. At least this time you had experience, you messed up so many times during your first showcase it was embarrassing. Your manager broke off from you but promised to meet you in your dressing room after she had settled some paperwork. There was no time for a proper reply other than a small nod. The assistant grabbed your arms and whizzed passed other groups of idols with their assistants, looking just as hurried. Along the way, you recognised other group’s name stickers pasted on different dressing rooms. It was fascinating to see the well established groups in the same area as you, honouring almost.
“Erm, hang on a second,” your assistant muttered shyly, tapping on her phone and whispering frantically into her earpiece. At that time, your phone buzzed.
3.47 pm 
Daewhi: hello noona !! by any chance are you at the venue now ? :) let’s meet
You: hi daewhi, yes but it’s crowded and everyone’s rushing now…maybe after the show or you can text me when your done with hair and makeup :) 
Daehwi: Daniel hyung read that you find us attractive and want to befriend us ;)
You: pshh omg that’s gg to be held against me forever! But yes, it’ll be nice to make friends 
Daehwi: Daniel likes you 
3.49 pm
Daehwi: i’M SORRY JiSuNG anD SUNGWOON HYUNG TOOK MY PHONE
You: uhhh…okay
Daehwi: but yeah Daniel has had a crush on you since the start, like since your debut 
You: omg….i’m blushing that’s so sweet 
Daehwi: pls dte danel
Daehwi: that was jisung hyung again sorry !! 
You: it’s okay…. You: how abt u introduce us? ;) 
Daehwi: omg okay 
Suddenly, you felt a tug on your arm and your assistant beckoning you to follow her. “Sorry! There was a mix up with the dressing rooms!" 
You slow jogged after your assistant, she rounded the corner faster than you did by abit. Many footsteps and loud chatter seemed to be coming your way so you sped up a little, hoping to catch up with her faster before the crowd came. Unfortunately, you sprung off a second too late and met with something… rather someone’s chest [ cliche! cliche! ] 
… 
Daniel could die happy. There was nothing else he could ever want. His ( life long ) dream had been fulfilled. He couldn’t care less about the strange looks he received, he just wanted to get down on his knees and thank God for creating such a perfect timing, such a perfect first making. The sheepish smile on his face remained plastered there as the stylist began curling his hair. The incident replayed in his head over and over. You had bumped into his chest and at first he too was shocked but the instinct to protect a person was stronger so his strong arms wrapped around your torso and prevented you from falling. Daniel would never forgot the look on your face when you spotted him, he’d never forget the memory of your entire face blushing pink. 
It was so adorable! 
Once you had steadied yourself, he had run his hands over yours, repeatedly asking if you were okay. Your reply was barely above a whisper but he still caught it. Daniel recalled the way his name had rolled of your tongue, causing his knees to turn into jelly, he felt his face turn hot even while he was sitting in his makeup chair. 
Moving on….. 
You had hastily thanked him, bowing slightly before greeting the remainder of the boys, their jaws dropping and some using their hands to suppress their giggles. You wished them good luck before running off after your assistant, wishing you had carried a mask with you to hide your red face. There were shouts and cheers echoing behind you which made you think back to Daehwi… well Jisung and Sungwoon’s confession on Daniel’s behalf. 
But he’s Kang Daniel! Kang Daniel! Everyone loves him! He could have anyone as his significant other! Why me? How am I special? 
You rid your head of the thoughts that only added more confusion and focussed on the task ahead of you. 
Yes, showcase. Comeback stage. That’s all that matters right now.
… 
By the time Wanna One was halfway through their stage, Daniel’s heart had turned into mush and his legs were replaced with jelly. He could see you dancing and singing to their song from his spot on the stage, he was glad you decided to watch some other artists while waiting for your turn. Daniel found your smile captivating, it made him grin and feel giddy like a schoolboy in love again. No matter what, he would definitely be watching your performance. 
There was no lying that Kang Daniel, the man who had saved you just now, was attractive. You loved how he balanced out his sexy, manly side with his playful and more childish antics. Secretly, you had been observing the group from afar and admired how close they were. A part of you longed for that bond, especially if it was in a girl group but for now, you were happy as a soloist. 
"Y/N! It’s almost your performance. Time to suit up,” Manager unnie hissed, grasping your arm and gently tugging you towards the backstage door. As soon as the equipment was placed on properly, stylists swarmed you, retouching your makeup and dusting your clothes. 
“Okay, they’re changing the stage set up for the next act. After that, it’s you. Go prepare yourself.” Abiding by the basic rules, you double checked your sound system and downed half a bottle of water. Just as you were midway through your mental preparation, you felt a tap on your shoulder. 
It was a cheerful looking Daehwi. 
And Daniel. 
“Noona! Did you see me? Was our stage good?”Daehwi bombarded you with questions. “Do you like our concept? Our style? Could you hear me singing?”
“Daehwi, you aren’t even giving her time to reply,” Daniel pointed out, chuckling. His gaze met your own but he quickly cast it on the floor. 
“Hello, I’m Y/N. You must be Kang Daniel. I’m sorry about just now,” you apologised, giving your sweetest smile.
Daehwi stomped his foot, pouting. “Ahh, I get it. Noona likes older men, now she won’t pay attention to me,” he whined but had his lips curved into a telltale smirk.
Sly dongsaeng. 
“That’s right Daehwi. Y/N likes people who can pull off the sexy concept,” you played along, purposely resting an arm on Daniel’s 60cm wide shoulders. His face was slowly but surely turning red. 
“Hmph!”Daehwi marched off but turned around and shot you a sly wink. 
“So…..” you started, uncertain of how to break it to him. “Daehwi said he’d introduce me to you. Hi." 
Ew! That was so dumb! Whatever, keep your chill. You’re an idol. 
Daniel just stared at you, shellshocked and entranced by you. Not just your beauty but the way you talked, the way you carried yourself that exuded a confident yet kind and not cocky aura. He was speechless, breath taken away. He was never like this, especially in front of women! You could hear his friends snickering in the back. "Hi, I’m Wanna One’s K-Kang Daniel. Uh, I-I really think you’ll be a great artist. Not that you already aren’t! But I think you will be iconic and I have been supporting you since your debut,” Daniel blurted out, he was so flustered his mind was blank and he couldn’t seem to form a coherent sentence.
How cute. 
“Aww, that’s very sweet of you. I’d love to chat more but it’s almost my slot…so how about I give you my number. Text me when I come off stage." 
He handed you his phone with trembling hands, Daniel couldn’t believe this was actually happening. He let out a shaky breath. "Can you sign my phone case?”
Daniel! That was so stupid! She probably thinks you’re a creep now! 
You paused from punching in your number and giggled, agreeing to do so. He quickly passed you a pen and you signed his clear jelly case, adding a tiny heart at the end unlike your normal signature. Feeling bold, you saved your contact as 'Y/N 😘💍’ and passed the phone back to it’s owner. Daniel’s eyes grew large at your contact name but laughed it off. “Have fun on stage! We’ll be cheering for you!” He waved you off, beaming brightly. 
You had never felt more energised and confident walking onto that stage and assuming your position. It was refreshing. Somi was waving a banner and Samuel was beside her, screaming. You knew Daewhi and… Daniel were watching, you could feel their gaze. The appreciation and love for your fellow idol friends grew. You adored them to pieces. 
Maybe one of them in a more intimate way.

14, 17 & 24, pls!
Oh hey thanks! :DDD This is for the Pretentious music fan asks -thingy. To be honest, I didn’t even understand why pretentious, I just saw the text “music fan asks” and had to hit reblog XD
14. the smiths, mac demarco, tyler, the creator, joy division, brockhampton, the strokes, the cure, frank ocean, neutral milk hotel, radiohead, kendrick lamar, the beatles, weezer, death grips; you can only keep three, which ones will you chose?
OH MY GOD I was so afraid of this question!!! XD Because believe it or not, I do not listen to any of these and of some I’ve actually never even heard of. I won’t be naming any because of reasons but I think I’d keep the ones that have influenced the people who are in my favorite bands :DDD Because without those bands, my favorites’ music would not be the same! Good luck to you all try and figure out which ones I mean ;D (Hint: I’m not talking about just one favorite band, but [some of] these have actually influenced several of them.)
17. do you think going to a big venue is worth it to see an artist live?
After seeing Rammstein 4 times at bigger venues because they no longer do nor can do smaller venues, I’d say yes :DDD 3 out of 4 were at festivals tho, and the 4th at a stadium that had as many people there as there’s people living in my town alone (over 30 000). But I still prefer smaller venues because of the athmosphere and because you’re then able to see more, especially when I’m this short, I don’t know if I can even say if I have actually SEEN Rammstein with my own eyes even altough I’ve been to 4 of their concerts so far :D (Okay I have seen head here and there!!!) But I think Rammstein is a different anyway, they have this huge light and fire show that you can admire even if you were so far you didn’t see the people there (I’ve never been that far but I just can’t see much from behind all of those other people), but if it’s a band that does not invest in special effects that much, then I don’t know if that so much of a fun, especially if you’d basically need binoculars to even see the stage. But I still think being to a concert is such an amazing experience that it’s always worth it, you can’t really find that kind of feeling from anywhere else.
24. what artist do you think influenced your style the most?
I have to answer to this as “what bands influenced my style the most” :D Well, maybe a bit mainstream story but I was 15 when I found about MCR and slowly I started to wear more black - surprise! But I was still wearing colors too and mainly blue jeans, I was still a bit afraid of dressing up only in black, I was kinda afraid of people noticing me better for that. GG, social anxiety :DD But already then I started to kinda dream of black hair, I really liked how it looked on other people and I wish I’d had black hair too. I had never dyed my hair and my own color is “golden blond” or something, and it got really long because I also didn’t want it to be cut more than 3cm at once because I was ALSO afraid of people pointing it out if it was cut too much at once lol. And at some point I was like... if I’m going to dye my hair at some point, I’ll do either orange (thanks to Vyvyan from the British sit-com The Young Ones :D) or black. Around that time I also got my first studded belt and at some point my first leatherette jacket.
Then time passed and I didn’t do anything, I just dressed in black more but I’m not exactly sure when did I give up on colored clothes. I started having some self-esteem problems with my body and I started to wear black only because it made me feel better about myself and I felt like it helped me hide my body better.
Then in 2009 I found Die Ärzte. And I started to dream of black hair yet again but I was too scared to actually do anything. But I had still talked about dä to my aunt (who cuts out hair) and used something about them as an example for how to cut my hair, even tho it wasn’t even close WHICH I’M HAPPY ABOUT THO XD But then in January 2010 I just... I don’t know what happened but I finally decided to dye my hair black and I’m really happy that I did. I’ve been dyeing my hair black every month ever since :D
And talking of the style, well, my style was already lots of black before dä, and when my last blue jeans broke, I got myself black jeans and I actually haven’t gone back to blue jeans ever since. And there’s actually lots of/some things in Bela’s style from the late 80s and early 90s that I guess I have adopted to my style as well, but it’s all been such a slow process that I haven’t even noticed it myself really. Just one day I looked into a mirror or took a photo or something and it hit me and I was like “...wait a minute? This looks... familiar? Oh noes.” :D
So yeah, there’s what has influenced me with my style, but mainly I’ve just bought clothes I’ve felt good in but I just seem to have bit similar taste with some of those people :D

Tumblr media
a v amazing anon requested this and i got so excited to wrtie. thank you so much for the request darling xox also sorry it was really long :((( i kinda got carried away  - admin amy
- aight so chenle’s prolly a real playful prince who doesnt give a fuck about his duties
- like his father (the One and Only King) got chenle a tutor to teach him about current affairs and specifically told him what tiem to be at the royal library
- chenle never showed up LMAO
- he was found playing in a dandelion field with knight!renjun
- when his father heard his son’s mischief he was just like /sigh/ its ok we still have hope his older brother isnt a total doofus
- so they just give up on forcibly teaching chenle
- but not to worry!!! chenle is actually smart and knows 5 languages
- acts as his father’s emergency translator sometimes
- but messes up translations on purpose and gets forced to clean horse poop for a week
- anyways here’s where you come in
- so you’ve never really known what to do wiht your life but you knew you wanted to get an education

- they give you a raise & ur parents r jumping wth joy
- && you get to know that chenle’s a really thoughtful guy when he’s out of his wild mode
- you also find out he’s really funny && you both joke around now and poke fun at each other
- when no one’s looking y’all play tag in the castle
- its really fun
- before you know it, you’ve fallen in love with chenle
- & ur like shit bro he’s royalty tho so you keep it to yourself
- ignoring all the times your hands brush
- the slight blush on chenle’s cheeks when he holds your hand to hurriedly bring you around corners when you guys are playing so y’all dont get caught by the superiors
- the way your gazes linger on each other more than necessary
- one day you were tasked to pick up chenle from his night class on current affairs and to also hand him his pajamas
- so when he cam out of the royal library he just looked absolutely rekt
- so ur like chenle u ok
- he just smiles at you slightly, his eyes half lidded
- && ur like chenle let me carry your books
- so you bring a tired chenle back to his room and help him wash up
- you think he looks absolutely adorable, sleepy tired chenle is wow
- a muted normal chenle tbh
- so when you tuck him into bed he’s like
- y/n don’t leave pls
- && ur like ok,,, what do you want me to do
- he’s like could you please cuddle with me? if you’re ok with it if not its ok you can go back to your living quarters
- ur heart highkey accelerates almost too fast bc 1) u can’t say no to chenle and 2) ur GONNA CUDDLE WITH UR CRUSH WHAT IF SOMEONE NOTICES AND COMES IN OR SMTH
- he senses ur apprehension && he’s like don’t worry no one will come in and if you don’t come back to the living quarters i can just tell mom and dad u were helping me bc i was sick
- so you slowly slide into bed with him, keeping a safe distance but
- chenle pulls u closer to him and hugs you tightly
- you wanna squirm out but he lets out little soft breaths and you know the hoe is asleep so u like dang it but also really short bc ur in such close proximity
- you eventually fall asleep
- you’re the first to wake up in the morn and when you do, you notice you’ve shifted positions and you’re now facing him
- you admire his features, the way the sunlight dyes his skin a honey yellow, the way his hair glistens an amber hue
- he wake sup tho and you shut ur eyes immediately buT HE CAUGHT YOU STARIN OHHHHH
- he chuckles lightly & he’s like i know u stared at me u creep AHAHAHA
- ur like shit what if- he don’t like me
- ur a stoopid ass
- he’s like ‘its ok i like u too don’t worry, but we have to keep it under wraps from my parents’
- yOU WANNA JUMP IN JOY but decide not to bc u know ur shy af
- following months you guys try to keep it hidden
- kissing secretly in corners of the castle
- holding ur hands a tad bit longer when y’all have to part
- tbh his parents start to notice when chenle can’t pay attention during dinner time and keeps staring at his phone &&& they’re like chenle we need to talk, chenle’s bro pls leave the room
- he’s like gg wp bro I’m in deep shit
- so he just starts shouting at his parents like
- I REALLY LOVE Y/N AND YOU CANT TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME
- he’s like bro chill we already knew we just wanted to freak you out a little its chill we aight with you and y/n
- just as longs it does not affect ur performance
- he’s rly happy but he also wants to play a prank on you
- so he gets knight!renjun to bring u in && tell you that the king and queen has summoned you
- he also gets his parents in on it
- so when u enter, chenle’s looking down and his parents looked displeased
- they’re like ‘we heard about u & our son’
- you start bawling cause u think y’all r over
- but then they r like ‘OMG OMG DONT CRY ITS OK WE R OK OMG CHENLE WANTED TO PLAY A PRANK ON YOU THATS ALL’
- ur so relieved u start crying even more
- channels like shit I’m sorry baobei r u ok & goes to hug you
