XIUHAN!!!!!!!!

I loved this so much. There are so many emotions going through my head right now but I can't properly put them into words.

Minseok gives himself three seconds to feel petrified before he forces himself to feel Luhan instead, very much alive behind him right now, having just done something extraordinary.

Ah I find this really sweet. Shows how much Minseok cares for Luhan that he's even able to swallow down his own feelings to put Luhan's into perspective instead and acknowledging that what Luhan did wasn't easy.

The first was, that it was only after this phone call that Luhan truly regarded the two of them as best friends. It sounded ridiculous the day Luhan finally told him, as if everything they’d done together in the first year had been dismissed, but Luhan’s reasoning woke him up like cold water. “You’d never asked for anything from me before,” he said. “It never felt complete when you didn’t.”

So relatable <3

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Honestly, the thought of us separating still hasn’t crossed my mind.”

I love the way you contrast their personalities, how Minseok is meticulous and Luhan is borderline reckless and it just works somehow because they balance each other out. And it shows in the little things, like when Luhan kicks off his shoes, Minseok goes and arranges it for him.

I'm so in love with the way you write~ Kudos to you and thanks for sharing!

oK LAST OnE!!! actually you know what I lied, you'll see in a sec. But here this is: yes!! my first time timidly writing xiuhan. which means when you say "I loved this so much" it means A HELL LOT TO ME. /falls down

i kind of want to shake your shoulders rN BecAUse i'm so. glad. you like this characterization???? with minseok being lenient towards luhan and caring for him often before caring for himself (i struggle with my guilt, sometimes I think it's unfair and a result of my luhan-biasness) and the contrast between careful/careless...to be quite honest I've never really read xiuhan before I wrote this so everything is a stab in the dark. but it looks like it wasnt a bad stab--!!

thank you thank you, again and again. Really you have made me feel very very warm with your kind words ;______; pls stay forever.
