2014 winter drabble dump - part 1
❄ myunggyu for ilma (@gyuseu on tumblr) ❄
Sunggyu rubs lingering remnants of sleep out of his eyes as he sits on the floor of their dorm’s living room. The younger boys (aka Sungyeol and Woohyun) tear open mountains of fan given presents, eyes much too bright for anyone before noon.
Myungsoo and Sungjong emerge from their rooms, arms full of gifts that they distribute to their fellow members. (Always thinking of others, Sunggyu thinks as he watches the two youngest with an amused smile.)
“Merry Christmas, hyung.” Myungsoo gently places a red gift box with a giant gold bow on the carpet and pushes it towards Sunggyu.
“You didn’t have to give me anything,” Sunggyu says but immediately begins to pull apart the ribbon.
“I hope you like it.” Myungsoo sits in front of him and stares down at the box intently. “I picked them out myself.”
Sunggyu grins as he removes the lid. “I’m sure I -- what are these?”
He stares down at the contents of the box blankly. Noticing his less than ecstatic reaction, Myungsoo’s eyes widen with worry.
“Didn’t you say you wanted them?” Myungsoo asks, his voice quickening slightly. “Last week during rehearsal?”
“Uhhh ...” He continues to look in box as the contents stare him in the face.
“You don’t like them, don’t you?” A disappointed frown forms on the younger boy’s lips and his shoulders slump. “I’m sorry, hyung, I thought they were cute but I wasn’t sure if --”
“No, no, they’re cute!” Sunggyu places a hand on Myungsoo’s shoulder to get him to calm down. “It’s just -- I said I wanted mittens, not … kittens.”
As if on cue, one of the tiny kittens jumps out of the box and pads its way across to the carpet towards Myungsoo. The other simply glances around the room.
“Oh.” Myungsoo picks up the kitten and strokes its head. He gives Sunggyu an embarrassed smile. “Oops?”
(prompt: mittens)
❄ myungyeol for laura (@arigyutou on tumblr) ❄
Sungyeol is freezing, like really fucking freezing.
Sure, the knitted sweater the stylists chose for him is definitely warmer than the crop tops, short skirts, and lace dresses that some of the girl idols have to wear. And yeah, he has a beanie that at least shields his ears from the frigid air. But his neck is freezing and his face is numb and he’s pretty sure his fingers are two minutes away from falling off his hands.
Why TV stations have end of the year concerts outdoors (in the middle of winter), Sungyeol doesn’t have the slightest clue.
Nevertheless, he plasters a bright smile on his face, ignoring the way his nose is probably so red it can rival that reindeer’s, and waves to the cameras and fans despite the feeling of frostbite prickling his skin.
He looks over at Myungsoo who’s waving at his fansites with scarf-wrapped hands, the bottom half of his face buried in the crocheted material around his neck.
Myungsoo doesn’t need the scarf; his body temperature’s always been above normal. (And Sungyeol would know with the amount of times he latches onto his back like a baby koala.)
While the MCs continue to read lines off of their cue cards and struggle to keep their voices steady, Sungyeol weaves his way towards Myungsoo and wraps his arms around the younger boy’s waist from behind. He presses his nose into the back of Myungsoo’s neck and sighs at the warmth. He can hear the screams from fangirls because OMG Sungyeol never initiates anything!!!
But he doesn’t care. He’s cold and tired and really desperate for feeling back in the appendages of his hands. And Myungsoo doesn’t seem to mind as he tries to secretly (not so secretly) lean back against Sungyeol’s chest.
He’s just about to close his eyes and actually fall asleep when Myungsoo begins to move around in his arms.
Sungyeol doesn’t know how he does it, but Myungsoo somehow manages to remove his scarf from his neck and wrap it around Sungyeol’s (more fangirl screams). Myungsoo sends a cheeky grin up at Sungyeol (even more screams) and turns back to face the audience without out a word.
Sungyeol rolls his eyes. So Myungsoo typical, he thinks as he hooks his chin over Myungsoo’s shoulder and tightens his arms around his waist, But at least he’s warm.

“But, papa, I’m not tired,” Hyorin whines as Woohyun carries her into her room.
“I know you’re not. But if you don’t go to sleep, Santa’s not going to visit,” Woohyun says as he sits on the edge of her bed and tucks the four year old under her pastel yellow bedspread.
(“Pink’s for girly girls, daddy,” his daughter had once said when Sunggyu walked through the front door with a brand new pink bedding set for her “big girl bed”. Sunggyu made two trips to the store that day.)
“But I’ve been a good girl this year!” Hyorin jolts up into a sitting position and clutches the front of Woohyun’s shirt. “I’ve even laughed at daddy’s jokes like you told me to! Even the one's that weren't funny!”
“Well, you know the rules, Rinnie,” Woohyun smooths the top of her hair with a chuckle, “Santa only visits children who are asleep.”
“Says who?” she narrows her eyes suspiciously. The resemblance to Sunggyu to so uncanny it’s no question who she learned that look from.
“Says Santa himself,” Woohyun responds, poking her nose lightly.
There’s a series of soft thumps that are heard over the duo’s heads, seeming to be coming from the roof. Hyorin gasps and looks up at her dad with wide eyes.
“Look’s like someone’s reindeer are here already,” Woohyun hums. “So a certain little girl better go to sleep before she’s caught awake.”
“Goodnight, papa!” Hyorin rushes out and throws herself under her covers.
Woohyun shakes his head and presses a kiss to Hyorin’s forehead before turning off the lights.
“‘Night, sweetheart,” he whispers and silently closes the door.

“I can’t believe you made me do that,” Sunggyu says as he lays on their bed.
“What? I thought it was a pretty good idea,” Woohyun responds as he walks out of the bathroom connected to their room.
Sunggyu rolls his eyes as Woohyun settles under the covers next to him. “I had to climb onto the room and it was freezing.”
“But she went to sleep and I was able to put her presents under the tree without her catching me. So thanks, Rudolph. Or well,” Woohyun grins cheekily. “after last night, should I say Vixen?”
Sunggyu scoffs and shoves him off the bed.
(prompt: reindeer)
fun fact: i chose the name hyorin because that’s the name of the little girl on episode 2 of TII that thought gyu was handsome lo l

“Hey Myungsoo?”
Myungsoo looks up from his laptop. “Yeah?”
“Can I take a picture of you?” Sungyeol holds up his phone.
Myungsoo frowns when he looks past Sungyeol and notices Howon and Woohyun trying to hold back their laughter as they sit on the dining table. “Why?”
“So I can show Santa exactly what I want for Christmas,” Sungyeol smirks.
Myungsoo raises an eyebrow and turns back to his laptop, giving the older boy no response.
He pretends he doesn’t hear the series of whispered, “Do that one.” “No, that one.” "No that one's dumb." “Okay, okay, I'll do this one.” before someone is tapping him on the shoulder.
Myungsoo looks up to see Sungyeol standing in front of him once again.
“Yes?”
“Did you know Santa's lap isn't the only place wishes come true?” Sungyeol even taps his thighs for good measure.
Myungsoo simply shakes his head as Sungyeol returns to huddling over his phone with Woohyun and Howon.
It’s about five minutes before Sungyeol walks up to Myungsoo again and the younger would be lying if he said he didn’t have high expectations for this one. (He even saw Woohyun go into his room briefly, probably to grab something.)
It takes a few minutes for Sungyeol to compose himself; Woohyun and Howon are already snickering from their chairs. (This one better be good, Myungsoo thinks.)
“That's not a candy cane in my pocket,” Sungyeol points to the bulge that is obviously a marker in his jeans’ pocket. “I'm just really glad to see you.”
Cue Woohyun and Howon's laughter.
Myungsoo sighs and sets his laptop aside. He stands and leans to place his lips right next to Sungyeol’s ear.
“Well then how about I slip down your chimney tonight?” he whispers loud enough for both Woohyun and Howon to hear.
Sungyeol chokes as Myungsoo pulls away with a smirk. Woohyun absolutely loses it, falling off his chair and rolling on the floor laughing. Myungsoo hi-fives Howon on his way to the kitchen as Sungyeol stares after him, completely and utterly speechless.
(prompt: chimney)
note: im not sorry.
