wjrkgehdsak5huigeabjkqryueqtgwbj gahhh what what what /flails and screams and thrashes around/

great job on your first fic (screw it it's so wonderful that i am rendered retarded and incoherent do u feel me) /( .□.)\ ︵╰(゜益゜)╯︵ /(.□. /) THIS IS SO GOOD OKAY I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.

"Stop touching him," Jongin replies, and he crooks his elbow over Kyungsoo's neck, locking the older boy closer to his side. Sehun rolls his eyes and makes obnoxious kissy faces at Kyungsoo (who only rolls his eyes farther back in response). The little devil cozies up to Joonmyun instead, who absentmindedly ruffles his hair and tells him to watch his language.

i l o v e how you described Jongin pulling Kyungsoo closer to his side ermagod and sehun that little shit (god the way he goes to the other hyung when Kyungsoo becomes unavailable is just too cute).

o(≧∇≦o) (o≧∇≦)o kaisoo o(≧∇≦o) (o≧∇≦)o kaisoo o(≧∇≦o) (o≧∇≦)o kaisoo o(≧∇≦o) (o≧∇≦)o

But Kyungsoo feels the uncanny sensation of seeing his friend for the first time, really seeing him--and something frighteningly new beats against his ribs, clamoring to be acknowledged. It's as though he's been struck in the face with something heavy and solid and hot, and all he can do is drop his eyes back down into his lap to cover up the confusion. He doesn't realize how adorable he looks, of course. But Jongin does, and he pinches Kyungsoo on the cheek, none the wiser.

"Don't treat me like a kid," Kyungsoo says swiftly, still mortified. "I'm older than you."

Jongin pinching Kyungsoo's cheeks just seemed so cute /don't treat me like a kid don't treat me like a kid/ idek but kyungsoo just seemed even kiddy-like saying that. (( and i just started to imagine puppy Kyungsoo baring fangs at Jongin and i'm just -- so done. ))

"Kyungsoo." He hesitates. Then, "Hyung."

Jongin has never used the title with him before, and Kyungsoo doesn't know whether to blush or to uncork the tears he's been holding back since The Episode. He ends up doing neither. Instead, he gently peels Jongin's fingers off him; just a little pressure on each digit, and they softly, sadly, give way. Kyungsoo's chest feels like it's splintering into shards when he replies, "You've never called me hyung, Jongin."

the part where kyungsoo /peels/ away jongin's fingers is just plain heartbreaking ;; /peels/ of all words why /peel/ (but the impact was perfect damn.)

"--really, I swear, and Kyungsoo, listen, I can call you by your name or I can call you hyung, whatever you want, I'll do whatever you like, and I won't tease you, and I'll never treat you like a kid, because I want to treat you well, and I want you to be happy always, because I love you more than you love me, and that's okay, because I love you most of all."

Jongin pulls away first for air. "That was nice," he breathes, looking dazed. He grazes Kyungsoo on the eyelids, the action bashful and intimate. "But I still love you more."

"Nope," Kyungsoo counters, planting one on Jongin's neck, right above the pulse point. He draws back for a second and regards his junior. "Am I going to have to pull out the hyung card here?"

i'm just a sucker for happy endings huehuehue this is perf i lava it (((＼（＠v＠）／)))

((okay i probably quoted a lot more than i should comment but i /really/ love this story thank you vry much ;; and continue writing moar (of non-aus yiss)~))

WOW. Thank you sooooo much for this humongous comment slash compliment! I'm still kind of absorbing it, tbh :o I wasn't very confident in this fic since it was my first, so I haven't shared it anywhere else, but I'm so happy you found it and enjoyed yourself! Your feels are beyond flattering to me :)

And just an overall response to all your lovely side comments = gotta love Kaisoo!! It's really painless writing the dynamic between them since they always seem to watch out for each other and seek out each other's approval and /care/. They give a girl so much raw material to work with <3

Anyway, thanks again for stopping by and for all your kind words. You just made my day!
