Work Text:
Jeongin and feelings did not work well together. He did not know how to express them, nor did he talk about them. His feelings were meant for him and only him.
So when he got a crush on the hot team mate in his highschool band he was, in fact, a mess.
He rarely if ever gets crushes, oh, but Minho just fell in the right place of his heart that made everything seem better and lovelier, and somehow pink.
Minho always called him cute and liked to play with him, and it made Jeongin realise a lot of things.
First of all he is not a stone cold bitch that Jisung called him when he didn't share his cookies and second of all, he has no idea how to flirt.
Absolutely none.
Because when he did try to flirt, only insults left his mouth. Minho didn't seem to mind though, Minho seemed very amused and it just made him want to annoy Jeongin more.
But oh, if he knew what the initial words were.
They were something from "you are so good looking" to "your eyes are so pretty I wish you would always look at me with them".
Yeah, he was pretty whipped.
But then one day he saw that Minho has a minion key ring, and had the best idea he has ever had.
He decided to dress up like a minion the next day to get Minho's attention.
So the next time Minho saw him, he was wearing denim overalls with a yellow hoodie underneath and Harry Potter type of glasses.
"Oh my god look at you, you're a minion!" Minho cooed at him while trying to pinch his cheeks.
Jeongin pushed Minho's hands away with disgust written all over his face.
"Yeah and you're an extremely annoying grandma."
Minho laughed at that and managed to pat Jeongin's head.
"I'll take that, it's better than an overused sponge," Minho said with a proud smile.
Yeah about that overused sponge. Jeongin was quite creative with his insults and one day Jisung tried to curl Minho's hair. It was all over the place, some curls were actually nice and then there was just hair poking out. Minho actually looked so adorable Jeongin wanted to kiss him, multiple times. But he, of course, had to make sure that Minho had no idea of that, so instead he called him an overused sponge, because that somehow made sense. It made the band practice a bit of a disaster.
Jeongin played drums so it was something like "okay the beat is nice, god Minho's hair keeps bouncing, oh shit I missed a beat, alright back on track, if I don't get to kiss Minho today then I might as well put a toster in a bath, oh shit, fuck, oh no".
After multiple fuck ups Chan ended the practice suggesting Jeongin to get some rest because he must be overworked. Yeah overworked on love maybe.
The band consists of four members, Jeongin who played drums, Minho who played electric guitar, Jisung who played bass and Chan who played keyboard.
Jeongin joined them in his first year of highschool, their drummer had just left so they were searching for a new one, and Jeongin, not having any friends yet as he was new in his school, joined.
His best decision yet. Maybe his whole crush on Minho was a disaster, but he found friends who he couldn't imagine his life without anymore, and each practice was a peek into a paradise for him.
But back to Minho calling Jeongin a Minion.
"Don't look so smug about it," Jeongin said while trying to finger hit Minho on the forehead. But Minho was faster and caught Jeongin's arm.
Jeongin gasped a little, surprised about Minho's catch.
Minho smirked and pushed Jeongin to the nearest wall, making Jeongin completely forget that he has another arm that he could easily push Minho away with.
The only thing he could think about were Minho's eyes that glowed with mischief which made him look so attractive, if Minho wasn't tightly holding Jeongin's hand, he would have melted into a puddle.
"Admit it, you have grown fond of me, you're not as mean with your insults anymore," Minho said in a bit higher tone than his usual speaking voice.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Jeongin tried very hard to stay calm but his voice still wavered a bit which did not go unnoticed by Minho, as his smirk grew woder and he moved closer.
"Oh, but you do," Minho said barely above a whisper.
Silence and tension entered the room as Minho barely but moved closer. With each passing second, Jeongin's heartbeat became louder, he could feel sweat dripping down his back and he could see determination in Minho's eyes.
It all faded in a blink as Jisung came into the room and completely ruined the moment.
"Oh my god what are you doing??" Jisung screamed, holding hand on his chest.
The two jumped apart, and after a moment Minho started to function again. And by that I mean he rolled his eyes at Jisung.
"Well nothing anymore," he said, annoyed and Jongin's heart skipped a beat, multiple beats actually.
That day as you could already tell practice was cut short as not only Jeongin's heart missed beats, he himself also did. Minho somehow seemed very accomplished by that and it drew Jeongin crazy.
Jeongin kept replaying what happened the next day and the next week, it seemed like a complete dream to him.
"Jeongin-ah!"
Jeongin turned around to see Minho running up to him with a big smile.
"Look what I got you!" He said when he caught up to Jeongin. He was holding a small minion Kevin pendant.
"It's you!" He added and gosh he looked so happy and proud and the sun was shining on him so he looked completely ethereal.
And Jeongin doesn't know what got onto him but he got so sick and tired of pretending to have no feelings, he finally decided to show them.
He cupped Minho's cheeks and leaned in but before he could have done anything he whispered a soft "can I?"
Minho did answer but not with words, he used his lips to deliver his answer, sweet and short.
