✘ | ‘but you’ll have this place to call home...always’ - frank ocean // @dxefillz

being an only child, malachi had never really had to have someone in his space. his room was always his, his toys, when he had them, were always his own. the most he and jaime shared was a bathroom and most of those times hold traumatic memories he doesn’t dare seem to revisit. moving in with six other boys when he’d joined his first company was a culture shock that he could have never imagined. sure pulling straws he got granted the single room on his own. but there was never quiet, there was never peace, or solitude. even with his door closed and locked he still wasn’t alone.

he supposed it prepared him to crash on ilsu’s couch for almost a year, and even a little longer until he was able to have his own place again, but it was the selling point of psych. he’d have his own space. he’d moved before but once he found his little town home, nestled with his back alley way entrance, he’d finally grown back into solitude, other’s in his apartment making it seem suffocating and unbearable. until...dae came a long. and for once someone inside of his space felt...normal. she didn’t disrupt the flow of chakra through his rooms but simply joined in the whimsical wafting of air through it. naturally she danced with the breeze he made, as if made to do so like leaves. and he guessed it was why he proposed her moving in in the first place.

malachi brought in the final box. he wasn’t surprised dae didn’t have a lot of stuff but it still was exhausting looking at the things they needed to unpack. he deiced to ignore it for now, flopping onto the couch next to her for a well needed break. “you think fans are gonna put two and two together when you’re not leaving with tidal members to go home from events?” he teased her with a charming grin, pulling her over into his embrace just wanting to be close. “i guess at some point someone’s going to figure it out, especially with all the camera’s around nowadays.” he garnered his girlfriend with an offhanded shrug. “maybe we can just order in tonight? movies and stuff, we can tackle that stuff when we have a full day.” it was a slight question, but the punctuation of his kiss to her temple was him deciding on it then and now.

✘ | old stomping grounds // @dxefillz x @okayhaneul

he tugged at the lapel of his leather jacket as they stepped out of the uber, standing and holding the door open for dae to exit hoping that haneul was right behind him. kai felt a strange sense of surrealness stepping out into his old neighborhood. he wouldn’t take them closer to where his old apartment was, for his sanity and their safety, but his best friend from back then had moved just outside of the altged area. it wasn’t much of move up the ladder, but it wasn’t their decaying building. they were starting to build up the surrounding areas now, but kai felt like that it was more to push out the current residents rather than to make their windy city sparkle again.

the singer hated having to be this way, but he knew that once they stepped inside that he wouldn’t need to be as alert as he had to out here. his hand was firm against the small of dae’s back as they turned the corner and walked up to a house, the soloist going to knock before he sent a quick text. like clock work the door was opened and a handsome guy with a shit-eating grin splitting his beautiful, dark skin stuck his hand out. kai dabbed him up immediately, laughing in disbelief as he pulled the guy into a hug. “hakeem dude what? no way?” he said in english. the other smiling wildly as he ruffled malachi’s hair. “yo, mr. kpop man i’m surprised you have the time for us.”

“don’t do that, you already knew i was coming to see you as soon as i landed, oh um, this is dae...my girlfriend, and my big brother haneul.” he motioned for the two to introduce themselves his smile not leaving even though he ducked in shyness.

A reward for intervening;

the night had gone smoother than expected, save for the most embarrassing slip that he could encounter. the truth being that while he and dae had been precariously occupied eye-fucking each other the entire night, his once innocent thoughts of lovingly holding her hand or kissing her forehead had been replaced with salacious thoughts of lust and ambiguity, he did not come to the club with a condom in his pocket. at least, not on purpose. it had started, simply with him thinking she looked beyond beautiful, but as she danced to booming bass and strutted around the venue it was hard to keep his mind from wondering to anything but.

he made his way back inside, thoroughly baked all over again in a vain attempt to forget his moment of embarrassment, deciding it’d be best if he did exactly what he was used to. talk to no one. slender fingers combed through platinum blonde strands as he decided to take up space on the wall, head only nodding to familiar drumline the harpooned its way around the room and drilled into everyone’s ears. he hadn’t realized that he was off in another realm until he was torn back to reality by a quite enticing ruckus. in pure protector mode malachi got to his feet, arguments tended to end differently where he was from and he wouldn’t put it past anyone for something catastrophic to go down. scanning the rows of people for dae’s form until they finally tracked her down...the culprit of what ever chaos was ensuing.

it was without thinking that he stormed in her direction. fighting? was she serious right now? and who the hell could she be fighting with at a time like-, his thoughts were answered at the view of a familiar petite girl, with her pretty black strands and even prettier black dress. they had to be joking right? kai didn’t give anyone time to explain, only forced his way through the forming crowd, firm grip on dae’s arm before dragging her out of the altercation. he didn’t say anything, at first. only took her far enough so that he didn’t have to say anything in front of the rest of the on lookers. “are you serious right now? did you forget who you are? or do i need to remind you because for fucks sake dae.” there was quite the bite to his tone, thick lips curling over his words as he looked down at her. but this was hard, as much as he wanted to be angry his eyes kept ghosting down the curves of her body and back up to her lips, the unsolicited thoughts returning. // @dxefillz

✘ | you look down on where you came from sometimes, but you’ll have this place to call home, always. // @dxefillz

he had an appreciation for them to still have moments like this. as if they were just friends, sneaking to the roof to smoke together. the only thing that had changed was that after she could come to his room and he could hold her like the world was ending like often did. the heavy metal door slammed shut behind them, and malachi went to make sure it hadn’t locked before he ushered her towards a good area to see the view of the large island. you could see the water in the distance he knew once his mind was in the clouds it would be the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen unrelated to dae.

“i have a confession,” he said placing the blunt in his mouth, he abandoned the papers for today, going back to his roots of ninety-nine cent cigars from a local gas station. his chipped, painted finger flicking his zippo open to light the stick before taking a long drag. “i asked you if you wanted to come up here because...i wanted to ask you something pretty important.” malachi finished taking his second hit before handing it over. “if you’re up for it? i-i don’t mean to spring it on you or anything.” it was insane how over a year in malachi still was nervous around her, like he hadn’t learned her, and every curve of her body like the back of his hand.

bringing it all back; @dxefillz

it was almost a mid year resolution of sorts for him to actually use their well earned break as an actual break. while was still up and running with reign promotions all the time outside of the schedule would be spent detoxing from the way the tour bore down on his health and mentality. malachi had also taken the opportunity to spend more time with dae. they’d finally solidified the rhythm between them, no long rocking along on violent waters trying to decipher their intrigued and murky lust for one another. it all had come to a head that night and the soloist had decided to take the reigns, even if was for a moment.

he settled the sliced chicken breasts into the pan, the sound of the hissing beneath them as the meat and its various seasonings hit the oiled surface joined their mundane domestic noises moving throughout the kitchen together. “if you could just go ahead and put that rice in the cooker? i already washed it, it’s in that bowl by the sink.” malachi asked her, not before pulling her close with a tattooed arm and planting a gentle kiss on her temple. these were the moments he cherished, getting to simply be at peace with someone who brought it to him so easily.

after awhile he flipped the slices, sharing the searing to the to the other side, the aroma of garlic and onion joining the cooking bird. “you know? my friend michael’s mom taught me how to make this?” he said to her leaning against the counter next to the stove as he waited. “she used to tell me, ‘now malachi if you burn my chicken i’ma burn your butt you hear me?’ every single time i tried to turn the burner up to make it cook faster.” a pleasant chuckle pushed through his pretty lips as he spoke, “i used to always answer, ‘but ms. kendrick i’m so hungry,’ and she would say, ‘maybe if you stopped running around this damn house you wouldn’t be so hungry at dinner time.’ which was true i hardly ever sat when i was over there, they had so much cool stuff compared to our apartment.”

once the chicken was finished searing he placed it into a deep, glass bowl readying pot to start the sauce before he could put them in the oven. as he did so, the little panel that allowed him to buzz guests in and out of his apartment beeped with the arrival of someone, the soloist furrowing his brows as he went to check it, only for a sickening wave to pulsate through him, settling into his stomach, taking away the appetite he deliberately worked up for this meal. “what the absolute fuck.” he mumbled, stopping for a moment to take a deep breath before he’d pressed the mic button. malachi smacked his lips with another sigh, clearing his throat before he spoke as if he was gearing up to sound tougher than he was. “what are you doing here?” he said in english, shuffling around being heard on the other side pushing through the speaker with static. “i c-, can i come to my home country to visit my...son?” she’d asked on the other end her drawl dragged out beneath her inebriation, of what he could only imagine. malachi’s eyes flicked over to dae for a moment then back to the panel leaving the silence between the three of them as he racked his brain for what to say and do next.

✘ ✘ | Fuentecita que corre clara // @dxefillz

getting access to dae’s hotel room had been a harder feat than he’d expected. he assumed telling the front desk that they were ‘together’ without actually telling them they were together. but of course in true secure fashion it was a hard no. there were plenty of avenues to which he could have gone in order to get access, but all it took was an extra couple euros and he was willing to make him a key. it was a mental note he’d keep to let the staff know how easy it was to get access to their rooms, but tonight he’d use it to his advantage.

there wasn’t much time after his dress rehearsal to make it back to the hotel before she did, so moving at light speed he’d set the chocolate brown outfit out across the bed he’d assumed was hers, along with the little baggy that held the new perfume he’d gotten and the dainty necklaces and jewelry. the perfectionist him had them set out along the bed evenly and in outfit order, the platform shoes settled at the foot of the mattress in their box with his little note.

‘ i really hope that these are your size i went shopping with ilsu and she said you’ll probably like it? wear whatever you want if it doesn’t fit you’ll still look beautiful. be out front by 9 ? ‘

-

he sat settled against the rented car, his matching brown fit to her two piece suddenly feeling a bit too warm even in the cool barcelona night. they’d never been on such a formal and expensive date before and he felt like he may have been overboard. but he wanted to do something that showed dae that they were a little more than bros with a title, and no matter how tight his pockets were this was how he wanted to treat her. as he waited he turned the little velvet necklace box in his hand out of nervousness. “took you long enough,” he teased her as she exited the hotel, meeting her half way to share a quick kiss. “you look...amazing.”

✘ // a little slice(day) of heaven ( @dxefillz )

following his and jaemin’s trip to the zoo malachi had made it a mission of his own to indulge in the things he hardly ever got to do growing up. he was able to check the zoo trip from his list and next harbored a list of some small and some big things that could attest to the aching and wounded child left from his upbringing. the funfare encompassed a lot of those things that the carnival they all attended previously couldn’t. he smiled brightly, tugging dae a long as they headed to the next ride, wonder and amazement written all over his pretty features.

“if you need a rest let me know, i know i’m kind of bouncing all over the place, but i want you to have fun too.” he said honestly, pulling the drummer close and pressing a kiss to her temple. “i do owe you stuffed animal given my two new pokemon are from your hard work and dedication last time.” the soloist teased slightly keeping dae in his orbit even as he pulled away.
