Do Kyungsoo is seven years old when he first meets the guardian. There's a crack in his wall, and his aunt keeps saying she'll get the landlord to take a look at it, but there's voices coming from the other side and Kyungsoo needs it fixed now. When he hears a knocking on the glass door of his balcony he knows right away that it's the man who's come to fix it. He's skinny and not very tall, and his hair is streaked with bright red and falls in his eyes. His shirt and pants are torn up and he has a bit of soot on his pale face, but his smile is wide and makes his eyes crinkle up and when Kyungsoo sees it he feels like this is a man who can do anything.
"Are you the repairman?" he asks, and the man shakes his head.
"I'm the guardian," he says, but Kyungsoo hears it as I'm Suho.Kyungsoo cooks him kimchi spaghetti in the tiny apartment kitchen: kimchi, noodles, canned sauce, and cheese. Suho eats it eagerly and says he's never had anything like it in his life. Kyungsoo says, "That must be a long time," and Suho laughs but doesn't answer

Do Kyungsoo is thirteen years old when he remembers the guardian. He's never forgotten about him, really. In the middle of cleaning his room, he finds his old school notebooks, filled with marker drawings of a red-haired man who travels through dying universes in a blue cabinet and fixes them with his sonic screwdriver. His teachers had told him he had a fantastic imagination, and laughed when he insisted it was real

i honestly had nothing specific in mind when i made this prompt- like oh doctor who and exo! should be fun! and then you wrote this and exceeded my expectations a million fold and i, just, LET ME HUG YOU.
suho as the guardian and his red hair and kyungsoo making food for him ahhh. you captured the tone of doctor who, the magic and the bittersweetness of amy pond's life, so beautifully. i'm on my phone at the moment so i can't quote anything which is good, i guess, because i want to quote everything.
