Notes: Fill for this prompt at exopromptmeme. The title and the summary makes no sense at all anyway, Happy Valentine's Day!!
‘Valentine's Day is coming! Need a cupid to help you out? Come to our club.’
Chanyeol looks at the new banner with a gleeful smile playing on his lips before he heads back to the club’s room. Park Chanyeol, junior and president of the matchmaking club, enters the almost pink and white room and smiles at his own work. It took him a whole month to get everything ready.
Wu Yifan, senior and vice president enters the room a few minutes later. “How are things going? Do we have any job right now?” he asks raising a eyebrow at Chanyeol, who’s looking through some papers.
Chanyeol looks up at him and grins, eyes wide and cheerful.
“I’ve been receiving these.” he shakes the load of colorful papers in his hands. “Our mission is to find out who’s sending it to me.”
Yifan nods and proceeds to get a notebook to take some notes.
‘When I look into your eyes I can see the depths of the galaxy’ one of them reads.
“The material is actually pretty good, I wanna know who’s giving me these so I can thank the person myself.” Chanyeol puts it in a box Yifan didn’t notice was there. The box is labeled as ‘cute love letters I want to keep for the rest of my life’.
“Look, I really like this one.” Chanyeol picks one of the letters with sparkling stars glued on.
‘My love and admiration for you are as big as the amount of stars on the infinite sky.’
“This person must be a fan of astronomy or at least stargazing because,” he takes out another letter and reads it out loud.
‘You’re as beautiful as the Alpha Canis Majoris shining on the dark sky.’
Yifan nods, they’re definitely good.
Chanyeol misses the blush that creeps on Yifan’s neck until it reaches his cheeks.
“First, let’s check my locker; at this rate another one must be there, I’m so excited.” Chanyeol pulls Yifan by the wrist and runs.
He sees a purple letter inside his locker when he opens it.
‘If I had a star for every time you brightened my day, I'd have a galaxy in my hand.’
Chanyeol coos at the letter and keeps it safe on the inside of his pocket.
“Detective Yifan, let’s get some work done. We need to clean the club room.” Yifan rolls his eyes, he thought Chanyeol would say something more important.
“Looking closely,” Chanyeol starts when he takes the letter to be added to his collection. “This handwriting is kind of messy. I’m surprised I’ve been able to read it.”
He hears Yifan laughing beside him.
“And it kind of looks like your Chinese writing.” he points out and Yifan freezes on his spot, the laughter slowly dying.
“Your imagination.” he says and Chanyeol nods, he's indeed pretty delusional and imaginative, must be something his brain made up. Or maybe not, who knows.
He decides to investigate alone this time.
The whole week passes in a rush, and Chanyeol had no progress on discovering who his secret admirer is. At least he got more letters and he’s really happy with them.
Valentine’s Day arrived in the speed of light and Chanyeol laughs silently at his astronomy related reference.
He heads to his locker earlier than usual and Yifan has his back on it, waiting for him.
“Hi.” Chanyeol greets him and opens the metallic door, revealing another letter.
It’s red and it looks cuter than usual. Chanyeol assumes that’s because of Valentine’s Day.
‘Would you like to be the star of my whole galaxy?’ says the letter with a different handwriting. His admirer must have practiced especially for this one.
“Would you?” Yifan asks Chanyeol from behind, his bangs covering his eyes. Chanyeol can’t see Yifan’s expression, but he can see a faint blush on his cheeks.
“It was you! I should’ve imagined, I’m so slow that I forgot you’re a member of the astronomy club. Please ignore my silliness.” Chanyeol folds the letter and puts it in his pocket as always. “So it was you,”
“Yeah?” Yifan replies hesitantly.
“So you want me to be the star for your universe?” Chanyeol bites his lower lip slightly and giggles.
“I do. Would you?” Yifan asks again, he’s more nervous about Chanyeol’s answer than repeating his question.
“Hmm let me think.” Chanyeol brings his index finger to his lips, showing Yifan he’s actually thinking.
Yifan licks his dry lips, waiting is always horrible. His hands are sweating and he doesn’t know where to put them, so he opts to folding them to his chest.
“You like me,” Chanyeol says and Yifan nods like an eager puppy wanting attention. “And I like you. Deal, I accept.”
Yifan smiles, the gummy smile Chanyeol’s very fond of.
“What do we do now?” the younger asks. “So, do we hold hands or something? Do you want to?”
Without replying, Yifan takes Chanyeol’s hand and holds it tightly, enjoying the warmth it possess.
“Let’s go back to the club, I think Jongin said something about needing help for a confession.” Chanyeol pulls Yifan with him, laughing and smiling all the way to the glorious pink room he calls his home in school.
