Summary
“For the cover, I want to look kissed all over, and I thought that I could do that with, um… lipstick.”
Nam-gyu raised an eyebrow in question. “So you want me to help you put on lipstick?”
“What? No, dude, I don’t want to wear it,” Thanos said, shaking his head. “I want to use it to, like… make kiss marks. On my face."
“As if you’ve been kissed… ‘all over’,” Nam-gyu said, speaking slowly as he tried to get on the same wavelength as Thanos.
“Yes!” he said, bringing his hands together, his voice almost a sigh of relief. “Yes, exactly, so…”
But then, his voice trailed off, and he only continued to stare at Nam-gyu. Nam-gyu stared back at him, waiting for Thanos to finish that sentence, but was met with nothing; instead, Thanos remained silent, looking like he was waiting for Nam-gyu to read his mind and finish his sentence for him.
And unfortunately, Nam-gyu thought he might have finally gotten on Thanos’ wavelength, that he was finally starting to understand Thanos’ vision for this photoshoot.
___
In preparation for the release of his new song, Thanos asks Nam-gyu to help him out with a photoshoot for the cover of his new track... help that goes beyond just taking the photos.-

Summary
Subong deals with a surprising amount of freaks at his job. You’d think being a pet groomer would spare you from dealing with the nutballs of society since you spend the majority of your time around animals, but no. Because those animals are paired with their owners, and sometimes those owners are real pieces of work.
Like this guy. Subong’s found himself trapped in the middle of some kind of staring contest that he does not remember signing up for. The guy is just standing there, holding his cat close to his chest like he’s afraid Subong is going to snatch it from him and looking at him with wide, saucer-like eyes—pretty saucers, Subong’s mind unhelpfully supplies—in lieu of the typical hello, how are you that usually accompanies standard human interaction.
or,
Subong encounters an absolute freak at his job. The freak, however, is very hot, and has a very cute cat. Subong's kind of desperate to get his number.

Summary
Subong is a tattoo artist, underground rapper, and an expert at hiding behind his nickname: Thanos. Nam-Gyu is a memory from high school that never quite faded, a mix of first love, eternal shame, and what "could have been." Years later, when fate brings them together again in an intimate and unexpected tattoo session, Subong is forced to confront everything he left unfinished: his feelings, his identity, and, above all, his cowardice.

Summary
Nam-gyu resists the urge to tell him to hurry up. The cold is unrelenting, the type that makes him want to crawl out of his own skin. The lack of clothes certainly doesn’t help with that, and while Nam-gyu can still hear the way Thanos shuffles around, there’s a primal fear within him that he’ll be left behind, tied up and defenseless.

[The games end. The odd sense of partnership that’s unfolded between Thanos and Nam-gyu does not.]

Summary
Devotee or iscariot — the lines smudge out. Too close to tell, sometimes, and that’s what this is: a test fit for his most faithful sycophant.
“I want you,” he starts, hums as he drags the chain up and over his head to wrap it just once around his fingers. Doesn’t waste his precious time or mince any gold-woven words. “To thank me for this.”
Nam-gyu: the most devout, the most faithful. All for his God.

Summary
God fucking damn it. God, god, god. God damn it. The girls in the front row, the image of them all flash in his mind, they were practically throwing their fucking panties at his boyfriend. Are you joking? Worst part is, Namgyu was acting as though he enjoyed it.
All to piss him off.
And by god, was it working.
He reaches the dressing rooms, slamming the door shut and then pinning the singer against it. "You fuckin' kidding me?" Is all he manages to say.
And this bastard. He smirks. Fucking smirks. And says in his mockingly innocent tone; "What?" Like he doesn't know what he's done. Like he doesn't know the way Thanos gets possessive over him, like he doesn't know the jealousy he feels.

Summary
Clouds murk the sky outside — gray hanging overhead. A fitting fucking backdrop, Nam-gyu thinks, something thick sinking in him when he sees. When he notices the slump to his body, the way he’s holding himself like he’s holding everything he has in two cupped palms.
…It’s always—
The things like this are always wordless. That’s it — unspoken. Passes in glances and slowness, Nam-gyu sits beside him. Carefully at first, receiving all the acceptance he needs with the shuddering breath Thanos lets out, when he lets him take the space.
OR: 3 times nam-gyu takes care of thanos, and 1 time thanos takes care of him.

Summary
And— maybe, maybe just a little, Nam-gyu had decided to drop the situation, maybe he'd put his faith in that Thanos wouldn't too anything too stupid, and maybe he was a little too excited at the prospect of a high to pay attention to that certain glint in blown-wide blue eyes.
It's not like—
"Thanos," he says, feels a little faint as he makes the very conscious decision to avert his eyes from the, ah... "Thanos, man, you need to tell me there's not a dead guy on the ground right now."
OR: thanos has a hard time controlling his temper, especially when he's high. this, somehow, becomes nam-gyu's mess to clean up.

Summary
Nam-gyu hardly realizes what he's going to say before he says it, thoughtlessly falling out of his mouth, "I have room."
...Which he doesn't, really. Why would he say that?
But it's— Thanos goes still and he just sorta stares at him and Nam-gyu's mind is flitting to fall half on his cross necklace and half on that he just looked so— so fucking bleak when he said that, so final.
OR: the games end after mingle. thanos and nam-gyu cope with this in spectacular fashion (and maybe learn to live somewhere in there, too).

don’t get sentimental (it always ends up drivel) by bittersweet_serendipity

Summary
Thanos stares down at the ball in his hands with a sense of rising dread.
The object itself poses no issue. Round, shiny, entirely harmless. He shifts the item around his ringed fingers, examining the blurry, muddled reflection that shines back at him through the sphere. The issue isn't the object itself. It’s the color.
Light blue, the same color as the sky outside in the real world. Slowly, he turns his head towards where Nam-gyu stands in the crowd, his own plastic ball held tightly in his grasp. Blood red instead of blue — they’ve been placed on opposing teams.

Summary
A brief lapse of silence. Nam-gyu assumes his bedmate finally fell back to sleep, but is proven wrong when Thanos’ sleep-ridden voice fills the room yet again.
“What’re you thinking about?”
“You,” Nam-gyu answers easily. He always has a hard time lying when he’s tired.

Summary
"You know him?" Thanos asks as he tries to think of his own lyrics to go with the track that's still playing. "He produce for real, or is this a favor type thing?" Doesn't matter either way. Thanos has got a damn gift when it comes to getting people to do shit for him.
"That's the thing," Semi groans with a downright strange amount of frustration. "The guy's name is Namgyu, I'm pretty sure, and he's a composer. Like, the classical stuff at the beginning, that was his."
Thanos nods, even though he doesn't really get why she's saying this shit like she's reading him a prison sentence ending in the electric chair. "Soo...?" He asks slowly. "If he made that, he can definitely do the producing shit, too. It's just a different genre." It's true. As long as he's got an ear for what's good, and knows how to work the fancy ass machines, then Thanos should be solid.
"Well, the issue is that he would never do it," she shrugs.
"He'd do it for me," Thanos waves off. It's not even cocky or some shit. All he's got to do is hook the guy up with girls or drugs or an oil change, and he should be fine. "Why wouldn't he?"
Or
How Thanos and Namgyu make an album together and maybe fall in love.

Summary
“Nam-su, baby, you gotta let me order first! Let me get that Zi—”
“Zinger Tower, extra cheese, double sauce, an order of Yangyeom Chicken, a side of nuggets with extra sweet chili sauce, an egg tart, and a large Coke Zero,” Nam-gyu finishes, rattling off the order that he and the other KFC employees have memorized against their will. “Pull up to this window right now or so help me, Su-bong, I will—”
“You’ll what?” Su-bong’s obnoxious gravelly voice prompts, sounding far too pleased with himself. “What do you want to do to me, babygirl?”
“Stop calling me that and pull up to this window,” Nam-gyu snaps. “₩23,000.”
“Aw, Nam-su, I know you like it when I call you babygirl,” Su-bong coos.
or,
Nam-gyu works at KFC. Su-bong likes to harass him when he’s working the drive-thru.

Summary
Nam-gyu pours himself a cup of coffee. He pours the same brand of vanilla creamer. He stirs it the same way he always does. He takes a drink, and swallows the liquid as if it’s a sour tasting medicine. His own breathing sounds as if it’s coming from a place outside of his body, separate from himself, shallow and unnatural. It’d concern him if he wasn’t so used to it.
Endless repetition is the only thing left for him. The coffee cup clangs against the counter louder than usual, and the sound makes him jump so harshly that one would assume he’s heard a gun fire directly against his temple.
— — —
(Nonsensicality and repetition bleed into one.)
