A couple of drabbles from university!AU. I realised yesterday that apart from like, the base stories, this is going to be an AU made up mostly of drabbles, just because it's kind of fragmented. it's made up of moments and scenes rather than long narratives, and I like that, but it makes keeping it coherent kind of difficult ~_____~

“I don’t think you can actually hypnotize a dog. I don’t think that’s even possible.” (inspired by
this gif)
Shinwoo walks out of the kitchen and finds Myungsoo holding Dongwoo’s new puppy underneath the front legs, swinging it gently back and forth like it’s a pendulum. “What are you doing?” Shinwoo asks, not sure if this is another one of Those Weird Myungsoo Things That He Didn’t Know About When He Was Bringing Him Coffee And Seducing Him Gently With Hazelnut Syrup.
“Hypnotizing it,” Myungsoo says in a soft hushed voice, and Shinwoo realises that yes, it is one of Those Weird Myungsoo Things.
“Why?”
“So that it’ll stop pooping everywhere.”
“I don’t think you can actually hypnotize a dog. I don’t think that’s even possible.”
“Quiet,” Myungsoo says in a commanding tone. “I am the Dog Whisperer.”
“Sure,” says Shinwoo. The dog gives him a look that asks why Shinwoo is just standing there while he is subjected to this madness. Shinwoo bends down and gently rescues the dog. When he sets it on the ground it scatters off across the tiles towards the stairs, where it sits barking, waiting for one of the girls to come collect him.
Myungsoo looks disappointed. Shinwoo wonders if, now that the Dog Whisperer is no more, they can leave and get the food that Myungsoo promised three hours ago, before their detour to Dongwoo’s place to see the dog. That Doctor Who boxset isn’t going to watch itself.
I’m not saying you’re an idiot; but you’re an idiot; EXO; university!au; Baekhyun/Chanyeol; 527 words
Baekhyun sits and eats cereal idly while he watches Chanyeol run around like a chicken with its head cut off. (inspired by
these gifs).
Baekhyun sits and eats cereal idly while he watches Chanyeol run around like a chicken with its head cut off. “If you’d woken up earlier,” he begins.
“Do not talk to me,” Chanyeol shrieks, racing across the kitchen with one shoe on and no socks. “Oh my god, this is ridiculous, where is my coat-”
“On your bed,” Baekhyun says. “Where you threw it yesterday when you came in.”
“Why do I even own a bed,” Chanyeol says, like it’s the bed’s fault that he’s late for class. “It’s not like I’m using it for sleeping in.”
“So I can make you sleep there when you piss me off,” Baekhyun tells him. He points his spoon at Chanyeol, who freezes. “You need to put socks on.”
Chanyeol looks down at his feet and loses his eyebrows in his hairline. “I have no idea how that happened,” he says.
“I have no idea why we go through this every day,” Baekhyun mutters, spooning cereal into his mouth and crunching. “Hitting the snooze button is an option, not a requirement.”
“Well, if you’d-”
Baekhyun holds up a hand. “I’m not the one with the 9AM class, am I?”
Chanyeol pulls both his shoes on, now over sock-clad feet, stands up, picks up his backpack, says, “Okay, bye, I love you,” and then turns to the door.
“Your paper is lying on the coffee table,” Baekhyun says helpfully.
Chanyeol pauses with his hand on the door handle. Then he turns and stares at the coffee table. “Oh.” He picks up his paper, stuffs it into his backpack as quickly as possible and then takes a couple of seconds out of his tight schedule to walk to the table and kiss Baekhyun. “Okay,” he says, “I really do love you.”
“Go kick some business economics ass,” Baekhyun says, waving a spoon loaded with cereal and milk at him.
Baekhyun is sitting in his cognitive psychology class when a text comes through from Chanyeol. You need to come home, it says. I left my keys in my room.
Baekhyun resists the urge to bang his head off the desk. I can’t, he says. I’m in class.
:( says Chanyeol.
Go sit in Starbucks and wait for me, Baekhyun texts furiously. I’ll be like, half an hour.
This is the third time in a week that Chanyeol has left his keys at home when he left the apartment. It is only Tuesday. Last week Baekhyun put Chanyeol’s keys in his backpack especially for him, only for Chanyeol to take his satchel instead. It is like Chanyeol is trying to make Baekhyun’s life incredibly difficult.
ilu, is Chanyeol’s reply. you are the best boyfriend.
“No,” says Baekhyun when he walks into Starbucks and finds Chanyeol locked in a staring contest with an almost finished latte. “I am the most long suffering boyfriend.”
“Best,” Chanyeol insists. “I love you, let me in our apartment, you won’t regret it-” He throws his arms around Baekhyun’s shoulders, so that Baekhyun’s nose is pressed against the hollow at the base of his throat. He smells like mint body wash and library books.
“I have been regretting that since day one,” Baekhyun mutters.
