you and your friends have been hanging out for the whole day; since noon, you've been to multiple different stores and you've walked around town for a good several hours.
a few of your friends have gone home now, because their curfews have passed. in fact, all who's left now is you and one other person.
his name? lee donghyuck.
neither of you had to be home until 9pm, and it was only 7.
you both agreed to end the night by visiting the park right before sunset, appreciating the breathtaking view of the skies while chatting over it.
because, apparently, that's a normal thing for friends to do?
he found a comfortable patch of grass for you and him to sit on while you both stared off into the skies and talked the sunset away.
a couple minutes filled with awkward silence and beautiful scenery passed by, and the sun's center had just hit the horizon. you were appreciating its beauty; you were also questioning what happened to the "chatting" part of this agreement. neither of you have spoken since you sat down.
maybe the sight was just worthy of such speechlessness?
you turned your head to your left to check on donghyuck, and saw him awestruck by the sunset, his legs bent to his chest and cradled in his arms with a soft smile on his face. even still, he noticed you were looking his way. he started giggling shyly, which then caused you to laugh with him, finally breaking the silence.
"if you stare at the sun much longer, you're gonna go blind!"
he kept laughing so softly, hovering his hand over his mouth out of habit.
"sorry," he said while still lightly cackling, "the sun is just so fascinating at this time of day. the sight always fills me with awe." he moved slightly, stretching his legs out in front of him and leaned back, his arms holding him up.
"it's alright, i get the same way! it's such a pretty star.. definitely one of the prettiest." a faint yet passionate smile stretched across your face.
"i can show you some really beautiful stars once the sun's down! i absolutely love stargazing this time of year."
this was an opportunity you wouldn't let down even if you tried; observing all the stars in this galaxy and beyond with someone really special to you. adjusting yourself to get closer to his side, you accepted his kind offer.
both of you stared back into the sunset, which had almost completely dropped over the skyline by the time you'd finished talking. this time, the silence was much less awkward—if at all—as you patiently waited for the sun to pass and for the stars to come out.
you notice that he gently lays his back against the grass once the stars come out. he starts waving his hand, gesturing for you to lay down with him. right next to him. and that was a tough offer to turn down even if you wanted to.
the skies above you two were a dark blue, and the stars had begun to glisten. donghyuck was already studying the stars, looking for the perfect ones to show you.
"there's a constellation you can see called eridanus," he said, pointing to it to help you locate it. "it's one of the first 48 constellations ever depicted by ptolemy, a greek astronomer. it's associated with phaethon, the sun god's son in greek mythology, and his story."
it didn't take long for you to be completely invested in what he was talking about. you were practically jotting down notes about everything he mentioned as if you had a quiz on it as soon as he was done speaking.
"not only that, but the supposed meanings behind some of the star names are so funny! the epsilon eridani star is also known as 'sadira', which means 'the ostrich,'" he did the quoting gesture with his hands, "...and the 'beid' star means 'ostrich eggs'. i don't know why, but it's so random and hilarious, it makes me laugh every time i think about it."
you were laughing with him, clearly taken aback by his humor. at the same time, you were astounded by his knowledge of astronomy. you could listen to him go on for hours upon hours about how stars correlate with greek mythology, and it would seem like not even a minute of time ever passed.
for the next hour or so, you two continue to babble on about the stars, and quite frankly any other topic you just so happened to stumble upon. plus, you have no idea how you got to such a situation, but now you two are holding hands while gazing at the stars he's been gossiping over for so long about. his hands were so soft, and fit perfectly when intertwined with yours. it was such a magical moment. you felt so, so comfortable with him by your side, and you never wanted this moment to end.
but of course, both of your curfews were about to pass if you dabbled on any longer. with only half an hour before you two had to be home, you had to leave the park that brought you so close together and head back.
you stood up, wiping the green grass off your back and waiting for him to lead the way back home. once he had also stood up, he reached for your hands once more, now swaying them side to side ever-so-carefully.
"i'm so glad i got to spend time with you like this, priya."
"i'm glad too!" it was impossible to hide such a huge, genuinely grateful smile from him. "let's do this again soon!"
"i'd love that!"
his eyes were sparkling so beautifully under the stars he loved so much, and in front of the girl he loved so, so much.
he wanted to stay here for so much longer with you; if only time would grant such a gift.
still, he knew just as much as you did; his and your parents would freak out if you were gone after 9pm. with one of your hands still holding onto one of his, you both set off to get home, planning the next time you would come back to the same park to appreciate the beauty—and sacred stories— the skies had to share with the world once more.

envelopes
~
you had just gotten home from a long, long day at school.
you had just taken a quiz and two tests, all of which you had no time to study for last night. it was a very stressful day, and you needed to relax.
when you got home, you ran right into your room and hopped on the bed, hoping to get some rest, maybe even a nap. you were going to try to forget about the tests. you didn't think it would help much; you'd probably be worrying about your scores when you woke up.
that is, until you remembered that in the drawer of your nightstand, there was a box full of envelopes from your closest friend, donghyuck. each envelope was labelled "open this when you're ____", the blanks being replaced with certain emotions; happy, emotional, frustrated, etc.
most of them were already opened; you took the advice in each letter given to you, and it always seemed to help you out and feel even just a little bit better.
the only one left to open read "open when you're stressed."
being careful not to tear the envelope apart, you opened it up and took out the letter.
"hey!
i'm sorry you're feeling stressed :( if you're comfortable with it, please talk to me about it! i hope i can help you feel better <3
—hyuck"
reading the message alone made you feel warm, like there was someone there to support you even when you were feeling down. but you knew full-well the offer stated in the letter would help you so much more.
you grabbed your phone, and dialed the number to call your closest friend, and the phone didn't ring for long at all.
"priya! hi!"
"hey hyuck!" [hehe like ur old username]
you laid down on your bed, venting your frustrations away, like you're laying in the office of the best, most friendly therapist you could ever have. you conversed for over an hour, and he made you feel so, so calm and relaxed. you were barely even thinking about the tests anymore.
you were so glad to have a friend like him; someone who can lend a shoulder to cry on, and someone who picks you up from your low moments. you were so, so grateful for donghyuck.

neighbors
~
"priya!" you heard your mom calling you from across the house.
"what, mom?"
"the new neighbors just moved in next door! i just talked to them, and they have a son i think you'll really like! you should go over and meet them today!"
oh no.
being social.
okay you didn't actually mind being social but you wanted to talk to bpe™ all day :'( this is so sad! hgfkjdgh but still, you agreed to go over to their place in about an hour, which gave you some time to get ready and look decent for them [even tho you're always #stunning!]
"okay mom, i'm on my way!"
she waved goodbye as you set foot outside.
you approached their doorstep, noticing (and admiring) the cute, decorative chairs they just placed on the front patio. they seem to be inside now, probably taking a break from unpacking, or perhaps moving the furniture.
you took a deep breath and rung the doorbell.
inside you could hear a faint voice, which you're pretty sure said "i'll get it!," as in they'll open the door for you.
you saw the door swing open, and you were greeted by who seemed to be the son your mom was telling you about. you looked up as it opened, and you were now making eye contact with him.
"hi! my name is priya, and i live next door! my mom said she visited earlier?"
"yeah, she did! i think she actually mentioned you," he responded with a light chuckle.
oh no.
she mentioned you.
"did she say anything bad?," you questioned with a nervous, slightly embarrassed laugh. he started giggling softly with his whole body.
"nooo, no! you actually seem kinda cool!"
"PHEW... thank god!" you let out a giant sigh of relief.
"do you want to come inside? we're almost done moving the living room furniture inside! you can be the first one to see it!"
"oh, yeah! sure! i can't be here for long, i have to work on a project that's due this week."
"that's fine! at least i can introduce you to my parents!"
he opened the door further, still leaning against it, signaling you to come in. so that is exactly what you did. who would've thought?!
you stepped inside, scanning the room, noticing donghyuck's parents moving the couch in place. it's shocking how quickly the room is coming together! they've only been working on it for a couple of hours now, and they're on the last few pieces of furniture. once they pressed the couch against the wall, the parents finally looked in your direction.
the mother spoke. "oh, hello! are you priya?"
"yep, that's me!"
"come in! make yourself at home! ...a work-in-progress home!"
you [and the rest of the family] chuckled at the comment—a welcoming first impression! you really felt like you made yourself at home.
"hey hyuck," the dad started, "you two should keep busy while we finish moving these last few items. we got it from here!"
you offered to help, but he insisted that you and donghyuck get acquainted since he needs some new friends in town.
"okay, i'll show you around! most of the rooms are still empty, but... that's all i can think of..."
you began to giggle once again, amused by his attempt to "keep busy," as his dad put it.
this family seemed really cool, and really easy to get along with! your worries about these new people had been replaced with splendid memories and first impressions. you allowed him to show you the empty rooms, and you two had such a great time full of laughter and fun. you wouldn't have traded it for the world.
however, time passed very quickly, and you realized you had to go home and finish your project. you waved your goodbyes to the family as you stepped back outside, and donghyuck came out with you to give you a [very, very tight] goodbye hug. you promised you'd visit again sometime this week, and left with one last goodbye, smiling and waving as you walked back to your own home.

makeup
(this is gonna be so bad i know nothing about makeup i'm sorry eeeee)
~
"priya! come over here!"
you flicked your head up, and looked at donghyuck from across the room. he had just found the makeup bag you left on your nightstand, and he was already looking through it.
"what are you doing?" you had to ask, with a slight joking manner in your voice.
"can you do my makeup?"
oh my god... he just asked you to do his makeup... this is the best moment of your ENTIRE LIFE.
"of course!" you immediately scooted to the bed and sat comfortably, with him right by your side, and you're ready to paint his face like a canvas.
you started sorting through your makeup bag, looking for the peach colored eyeshadow.
"oooh... i love that color!"
"me too!," you said while opening the container. "this will look so good on you."
you grabbed your favorite makeup brush and applied the eyeshadow dust on his eyelids. you were shocked at how still his eyelids stayed; they weren't reacting as much as it normally would when doing someone else's eye makeup, but he didn't squint too much and you got a nice, even layer of eyeshadow on.
when you finished putting on the eyeshadow, he was trying to reach for the mirror he spotted in the bag.
"heyyy!," you playfully complained, "what do you think you're doing?"
"i wanted to see how it looks!"
you started mellowly cackling with him. "i haven't finished! you still need some mascara!"
"fiiine, i won't peek..." he was pouting, and no matter how heckin' adorable he looked when he pouted, you couldn't just give up the mirror that easily.
you grabbed the mascara bottle, and gently placed the wand on his (beautiful) lashes. a few little strokes on each eye was enough to make them pop, complimenting the soft, peachy color of the eyeshadow.
"it feels so nice when you do my makeup... i love this so much! and i haven't even seen it yet!"
"only because i'm not letting you!" you were laughing yet again, which caused donghyuck to start giggling again—you always admired his giggling—; it was like a never-ending cycle of joy and happiness when you two spent time together. "you can look after i put on the lip balm." he instantly looked very giddy, obviously anticipating to see the progress you've made.
you reached into the bag once again, pulling out the vanilla lip balm to give his lips a simple, faint shimmer. you took off the cap and extended the stick to where it barely passed the edge. cupping his face using one hand to keep his lips steady, you used the other to put the lip balm on.
his face felt really warm as you were embracing it; in fact, it continued to get warmer and warmer while it was being held. as you took the lip balm off donghyuck's lips and recapped it, you couldn't help but ask... "are you blushing?"
"h uhh ?? uh u hh uh u h h h uuuh h umm uh h may b uhh no NO nono ooonono... n o ??? wel l y es-- n O NNO n o?? no! nnu u hhh n o nonono no-"
you got him to stop mumbling nonsense by cupping his face again, gazing into his charming eyes, and telling him to his face in an easy, playful tone:
"you're such a dork!"
you were both laughing again, his laugh more nervous than your joyous one.
"you can look in the mirror now!"
donghyuck got all giddy, instantly grabbing the mirror to look at the results of the makeover. his mouth was stuck open in awe, kinda like that pikachu meme, and his eyes were sparkling just from looking at what you've done.
"this is so good!" he took a few more seconds to appreciate the work you've done with the makeup. "i absolutely love it! i look GOOD!"
"you always look good!" he tried to play your comment off like a frickin' badass, but you could see his cheeks turning pink on the spot.
"thanks for doing this! you're really good at makeup... an inspiration! we stan!"
"you're welcome! you look amazing with makeup on... and off!"
you zipped up your makeup bag, agreeing to do this again on another day. maybe next time, he could be the one doing your makeup? either way, you know you're going to have so, so many makeover sessions in the future.

missing
(i promise this is not as angsty as it sounds it's actually very soft uwu)

"priya! have you seen the bracelet you gave me a few months ago?"
you heard him yelling across the house, looking for you (and, obviously, the bracelet). you made a cheeky laugh to yourself, looking at the bracelet around your own wrist.
you remembered the day you got it; you knew you wanted to get him something special for your one year anniversary, so you went to the nearby jewelry store and browsed around for the perfect gift. this very bracelet caught your eye, with the endearing (and cheesy) phrase engraved on its silver plating—"i love you to the moon and back - ☾". you knew this would be the best possible gift to give your precious full sun.
"i heard that giggle! where are you!"
his footsteps sounded as if they were right around the corner, thus you decided now was a better time than any other to pop out from the room you were hiding in and give him a big hug attack. he yelped for a very quick moment, before realizing it was just you giving him a hug. you felt him instantly relaxing upon the realization, and he hugged you back with a smile on his face.
after a few seconds passed, he disengaged from the warm embrace and asked once more if you had the bracelet. "i was going to wear it for our date tonight! do you have it?"
you almost felt bad for it, especially considering he was going to wear it for your date later that day. however, you had a plan that would make this all better without giving it up right away.
you raised your arm, showing him just what he's been searching for. "is this what you need?," you asked playfully.
"ohhhh thank god!" before he continued to ask for it again, he reconsidered the situation. he realized you were playing around, and he wasn't going to get it back by just simply asking for it. "what do i have to do?"
"you have to... kiss me!" you were already chuckling as soon as you said it. he was shocked, but he still managed to crack some laughter of his own.
"deal! ...but where?"
you thought about this for a few seconds, making a light humming "mmm..." sound, as the perfect response was occurring.
"riiiiiight.... here!," you finally decided, pointing towards your lips.
"o-oH?" he was blushing at the request, almost hesitant, but there was no way he could refuse such an offer now. "okay.. you got it!"
he leaned in closer towards you, getting awfully close to where you pointed moments before. he stayed like that for a few moments, just inches away from your face, just to make you anticipate the kiss even more. then, he held your face in a soft, gentle embrace, and closed in to seal the deal, giving your lips a light kiss.
god, you love him.
you surrendered the bracelet, taking it off your arm and sliding it onto his own. he examined it, and wholeheartedly appreciated having it back.
"let's start getting ready for tonight!"
you nodded, acknowledging that it was time to get ready for your date was later this evening. still feeling warm and cozy from the kiss, you both went back to your rooms and started preparing for the night.
