Leighton and Y/N were spending an afternoon together, enjoying a quiet moment in a park. The sun casts a warm glow, creating a serene atmosphere around them. Leighton, feeling a surge of affection, decided to express her feelings by attempting to hold Y/N's hand.
As Leighton reached for Y/N's hand, Y/N instinctively backed up, a sudden tenseness in her demeanor. The atmosphere shifted, and Leighton sensed Y/N's discomfort. Y/N quickly dismissed the situation, avoiding eye contact.
"Leight woah, chill." Y/N said, her tone tense but firm. "I should head back to my dorm."
Leighton, caught off guard by Y/N's response, pulled back immediately. "O-Okay? I'll see you?"
Y/N nodded, offering a small, apologetic smile. "I'll talk to you later."
Leighton watched as Y/N left quickly, a mixture of confusion and concern in her eyes. She couldn't help but wonder about the sudden change in Y/N's behavior. As Leighton reflected on the situation, she realized how uncomfortable Y/N must have felt with the public affection, and Leighton frowned at her mistake.
Later, Leighton reached out to Y/N to check in, giving her the space she needed but also expressing a willingness to discuss anything that might be on her mind. Y/N, appreciating Leighton's understanding, eventually opened up about some struggles she was facing, explaining that her reaction was not a reflection of Leighton but rather a result of her own internal struggles.
Leighton, with empathy and patience, offered her support, understanding that Y/N needed to come out on her own time and she should be patient.
As weeks passed, Y/N and Leighton's connection deepened, and they found themselves navigating the complexities of the relationship. However, Y/N remained adamant about keeping their relationship a secret. Leighton, though understanding, couldn't help but feel a tinge of frustration.
One evening, Leighton and Y/N found themselves in a quiet corner of Sips, sharing a table for two. The warm ambiance couldn't fully mask the undercurrent of tension between them. Leighton decided to broach the topic gently.
"Y/N, I've really enjoyed the time we've spent together," Leighton began, choosing her words carefully. "But I feel a bit undermined, I know you need your time to come out, but I just want to fully appreciate you."
Y/N sighed, her gaze focused on her hands. "Leighton, it's not about you. It's about me. I'm just not ready for everyone to know about us. I'm still figuring things out."
Leighton nodded, acknowledging Y/N's perspective. "I get that, I really do. But it feels like I'm in the closet again, and I don't want to back peddle like that."
Y/N looked up, meeting Leighton's eyes with sincerity. "I care about you, Leighton. That's why I want to protect what we have. Once I'm more comfortable, we can be open about it. I promise."
Leighton sighed, torn between her desire for openness and her respect for Y/N's journey. "I care about you too, Y/N. I just wish we didn't have to keep this under wraps. It feels like we're taking a step back when we should be moving forward."
Y/N reached under the table, squeezing Leighton's hand. "Please be patient with me. I want this to work, but I need time. I hope you can understand."
Leighton nodded, a mix of emotions swirling within her. "I'll be patient, Y/N. Just promise that you'll tell me when you're ready."
Y/N smiled, grateful for Leighton's understanding. "I promise. Thank you for being patient and supportive. It means a lot to me."
As they continued their conversation, the air between them softened, and the cafe's warmth mirrored the hope that their relationship held. While the journey might be challenging, Leighton and Y/N were determined to navigate it together, with patience, understanding, and a shared commitment to each other.

Leighton's dorm room buzzed with a relaxed atmosphere as Leighton, Y/N, and Leighton's roommates, Bela, Kimberly, and Whitney, spent a casual evening together. Laughter and friendly banter filled the air, creating a sense of camaraderie among the friends.
Suddenly, Y/N stood up, drawing everyone's attention. The room fell silent as she took a deep breath, preparing to make an announcement. Leighton, curious and supportive, looked at Y/N with a reassuring smile.
"Hey, everyone," Y/N began, her voice steady but tinged with a hint of nervousness. "I have something I want to share with you all."
Bela, Kimberly, and Whitney exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued. Leighton's eyes remained focused on Y/N, offering silent encouragement.
"I've been trying to find the right time to say this," Y/N continued, "but I want you all to know that I'm gay. And," she added with a smile, "I'm dating Leighton."
A moment of silence followed Y/N's announcement, and then the room erupted with a mix of surprised gasps and supportive cheers. Leighton's roommates quickly transitioned from surprise to excitement, expressing their happiness for Y/N and Leighton.
Bela grinned, "That's amazing! Congratulations, you two! Leighton is a great person to date, she's hot, smart, and hot!"
Kimberly added, "Seriously, we're so happy for you. This is fantastic news!"
Whitney joined in, "You guys are cute together, we're proud of you"
Leighton, beaming with pride, wrapped an arm around Y/N. "Thank you, guys. Your support means a lot to us."
The room filled with a renewed energy, as the friends continued to chat, laugh, and celebrate the newfound openness in Y/N's life. Leighton and Y/N felt a sense of relief and joy, knowing that they had a circle of friends who embraced them for who they were.
Y/N and Leighton sit back down, Leighton giving Y/N a soft kiss as Y/N blushes softly. Y/N places her feet across Leighton's lap, holding her hand as they all converse.
As the evening unfolded, the dorm room became a haven of acceptance and love, reinforcing their friendship and celebrating Y/N's coming out.

.・゜long day | hyunjin
pairing: hwang hyunjin/reader
word count: 552
genre: comfort!, tired reader, non-idol! au, boyfriend! hyunjin, this is actually just so adorable aasjkldjkhaadhgjkl
summary: you come home after a long day at work
warnings: reader is tired so a bit of crying?
edit: I was listening to cry by cigarettes after sex while writing this and I actually started sobbing
You were walking home from the bus stop. A massive document had been placed in your care at work, and so you had worked throughout the day with minimum breaks to complete it. It didn't help that some of the new junior coworkers were so stuck on wanting you to have the most miserable day ever, making multiple mistakes which kept getting on your nerves.
You glance at your watch: 11.24pm. You weren't sure whether you were going to be paid for having to work overtime, but all that mattered right now was going home to your sleeping boyfriend, Hyunjin. He had gotten off work early, and you had called him to tell him to go to sleep.
A crack of thunder was heard, and it suddenly started pouring. Tears poured down your cheeks as you, too tired to cover your head or run for shelter, cried with the sky.
Your hand was slightly shaking as you tried to jam your key into the keyhole to your shared apartment. It silently swung open and you were met with the sight of Hyunjin sprawled over the sofa, his head turning to smile at you when he sees you.
The expression on his face is beyond surprise and he rushed over to you to hug you.
"You're finally home, baby."
You slump over him, body too heavy with exhaustion to respond, and he carries you to the sofa, placing you down gently before running to grab a towel.
Hyunjin comes back, sitting you up on the sofa before kneeling on the floor face-to-face with you.
"You could'hv called me, I could'hv brought a umbrella Y/n."
Hyunjin looks worried as he lightly ruffles your hair with the towel. He notices the tear streaks on your face and leans forward slightly, brushing his lips over them. You smile softy, heart fluttering at his caring manner.
You don't respond. You don't need to, Hyunjin understands you too well. He gets up flops down on the sofa to lay next to you, wrapping an arm around your waist and drawing you close. Your hands immediately go to his hair, eyes closing as you gently scratch his scalp. You nuzzles your face in his neck, making you feel safe and loved in a way nothing else can.
As you cuddle up next to him, your head resting near his chest, you take in the scent of his cologne and the warmth of his body. You feel your muscles relax, and you let out a contented sigh. Finally, you're in a place where all your worries are far away, and you're just enjoying the moment.
Hyunjin looks down at you and strokes your hair, and you can tell he's enjoying the moment too. You close your eyes, feeling completely at peace in his arms. You both stay there for a while, not wanting the moment to slip away.
When you finally open your eyes again, it's reads 2am on the clock and you realise you've both fallen asleep. Hyunjin is still holding you, his breathing deep and even. You sleepily trace his forehead, down his nose, and to his soft, plump lips with your finger. You smile to yourself, feeling grateful for the warmth and love in this moment. It's moments like this that make you glad to be alive.
