BUT anyway--this fic was just so lovely, but before I go into detail LET ME LOVE YOU for choosing to write Woohyun/Myungsoo because there's not nearly enough of it around and also because the way their relationship was set up fit the tone perfectly. I loved Myungsoo's idealised versions of romance because that just feels so ridiculously him, and Woohyun wanting to keep everything to himself. Their relationship was just so adorable and reading this made me really ridiculously happy <3 Also the ninja!Myungyeol friendship warms my heart and all the mentions of Sunggyu and Sungyeol in general WERE SO PERFECT. Though I'll admit I have a very high tolerance for fluff and sugar I think this fic is just right in terms of it so don't worry about that. Also, this:
“But this means I get to cuddle you as much as want. No objections. No complaints.”
MYUNGSOO FINDING AN EXCUSE FOR CUDDLES IS SHEER PERFECTION.
Thank you so much for writing this for me and happy holidays as well <3

I did think about writing about the other pairings, but I felt Sungyeol would have been too snarky and Sunggyu would have sucked at comforting. He would be insensitive and say things like, "Why are you crying?" while flitting about trying to figure out exactly how to rectify the situation and punctuating every few minutes by jabbing Woohyun with the corner of a tissue box. And Woohyun would end up laughing because Sunggyu is just so very bad at this. I also chose woosoo because I always got the impression that Woohyun would want a pretty equal relationship where both parties are supportive of each other. He has a lot of love to give, but he wants the other party to shower him with just as much so that he feels safe and secure. And I think the only Infinite members that can provide him with that kind of attention are Dongwoo and Myungsoo.
Thank you very much for the prompt!! I was a little cranky about how Woohyun is sometimes perceived by certain parts of fandom, so I was glad that I was given something that I could work with. :)

PFFFT I totally agree with that, they'd approach the comforting pretty differently. I love both pairings too but Woosoo was definitely a great choice for my prompt, and thank you for that! (Though can I just say that the Woogyu scenario you're describing sounds absolutely adorable and I would not mind seeing that at all? <3) And ugh that is so spot-on. I tend to write Woohyun in a similar way so I really enjoyed his characterisation c:
And you're welcome, thank you for writing it! I was actually afraid my prompt would be too narrow (the ones I got in return were very, VERY broad and I liked that, so--) so I'm glad you could work with it <3

I actually like less broad prompts cause then it's easier to know what to write, especially when it's for someone else. (And I forgot to mention this before, but I'm actually a fan of your fics :D)

And oh, that's good! I'm glad my prompt worked out then. (And dkfasjklsdf I'm flattered, thank you <3)
