    Summary

    Doyoung proposed to Taeyong when they were three.

    Taeyong thought he could spend his forever with Doyoung from that moment on. He was not notified that this marriage proposal actually came postdated and stipulated a list of ex-lovers the length of a class roster, but he can wait. He can do anything if it means a lifetime with Doyoung.

    Summary

    “You’re so annoying,” Wonwoo childishly said, sticking his tongue out as he turned around, skating backwards while the bright fluorescent lights glittered in ebony orbs.

    “Who’s the one running away and refusing to demonstrate their oh-so hard jump?”

    “I said I don’t want to fall.”

    “You won’t fall,” Mingyu insisted, his arms reaching out and tugging at Wonwoo’s fingertips. “I never see you fall..."

    -----------

    Where one fell but got right back up, the other refused to fall. Where one focused on power and speed, the other cultivated flow and grace. Where one was a hockey player, the other was a figure skater... and though they were seemingly opposites with families that opposed the other, Mingyu and Wonwoo carved out a little world for themselves.

    Summary

    “Look at it this way,” Ten says officiously, when he can say things properly without giggling again. “It could have been Johnny or Yuta or someone like, actually cool, right? At least you’re only embarrassing yourself in front of Doyoung, who is equally embarrassing.”

    “He’s not embarrassing!” Taeyong protests, and is moderately horrified to find that it’s real defensiveness driving his words. That’s always the first mistake with Ten - you can’t respond to his teasing seriously, because then he knows he’s onto something.

    Sure enough, he catches a flash of white teeth before Ten is tipping his head back with a cackle fit for classification as an instrument of torture. “Okayokay, whatever you say. Hey, do you think you start calling him Daddy now, or does it take two or more incidents?”

    “I’m hanging up,” Taeyong announces, determinedly not thinking of the crunch of a sweet potato packet in his fist, or a dozen similar small incidents over the past few months that he’s let slide without comment.

    (Or: Doyoung keeps buying things for Taeyong. Taeyong's into it.)
