"Hyung, I was thinking-"
"You scare me when you think"
"That is because I'm smarter than you and you cannot fathom the complexity of my reasoning"
Myungjun laughs, and protests right after, punching his shoulder. "We need to take a test one day and then you'll see!"
"If you like losing, sure" Minhyuk rolls his eyes back at him, tone still playful. "Anyway. As I was trying to say-"
"Yes?"
"It is not even Halloween yet"
"And?" Myungjun tilts his head.
Minhyuk lowers his voice, suddenly timid. "And I am already dressed as your future boyfriend"
That is a level of official that Myungjun wasn't expecting, at least not like that. But damn if he wants it.
Months of romancing, of casual dates, and he has been dying to call themselves a couple - a proper one. Yet he has waited, because Minhyuk was new to relationships and boys, and Myungjun didn't want to rush him.
He is glad that Minhyuk finally found the courage, though. In such a cute way, too.
"Are you sure?"
"If you want to-"
Myungjun beams, and it is all it takes for Minhyuk to relax.
"Of course I do!" he shuts down any possible doubt. "I thought you would never ask me!"
Minhyuk smiles weakly. "Sorry, you know how it is"
"I'm not blaming you. I am just happy", Myungjun counters. "I mean it. I can't wait to tell everyone! Can we- what if we announce it at the party?"
Minhyuk nods in agreement - he owes him the how and when, after making him wait for so long.
Then Halloween actually comes, and it is scarier than whatever decoration that has been put up. Because the room is filled with all their friends, because it is Minhyuk's first of many, because he is just there in his usual clothes and he feels so silly and out of place, next to Myungjun who has committed to even the smallest detail of his dress.
"Minhyuk-ah! Have you forgotten your costume?"
There it goes. It is just teasing, but Minhyuk shifts uncomfortably on his feet, still terrified without a logical reason (he knows Myungjun is right by his side, he knows they will accept it without batting an eye, and even if they didn't, it wouldn't change a thing of what he feels).
This is ridiculous, he thinks. Until Myungjun smirks and squeezes his hand, answering in his place.
"Oh, he is dressed up"
"As what, exactly?"
"As my boyfriend!" Myungjun exclaims cheerfully, unwavering, and Minhyuk feels the world turning into the right direction again. "Wasn't that obvious?!"
