For Ang.
It's not that Joonmyun is complaining--she's not. She's the girliest girl that she knows, one who loves putting on make-up and dressing up and being adored by men. But, while she know she will truly be adored that evening, she just doesn't see why she has to dress up as Daisy Buchanan of all the female characters in literature--not that it matters because they're going to a costume party and not a book club. Still. Daisy Buchanan.
"You look fine," Kris tells her, his grip on her hand warm and comforting, as they stop just beside the buffet table. "You look beautiful," he amends himself when Joonmyun just frowns.
"Did you really have to choose Daisy and Jay from The Great Gatsby as our costumes for this party?" Joonmyun pouts, looking around at all the other extravagant clothing that everyone else is wearing. "I could have been Jordan Baker and that would have been fine."
"And I would have been who?" Kris responds with a soft chuckle. He brings Joonmyun's hand to his lips for a kiss. "You are the Daisy Buchanan to my Jay Gatsby." He laughs when Joonmyun just looks annoyed. "Love, Daisy is beautiful, enchanting, the golden girl, the dream. You're all of those things."
Joonmyun almost gapes at Kris, slightly breathless with the compliment. She and Kris have been together for almost six years and not once has she gotten tired of being in their relationship. She's heard about the trouble that couples have when they get to certain stages of their relationship, but Joonmyun's never had that with Kris. Even after all this time, he still takes her breath away.
"You're my Daisy." Kris punctuates this with a chaste kiss on the lips.
Joonmyun bristles at being reminded of Daisy. "In case you've forgotten, Daisy is also shallow, careless, and even naive and vapid," she huffs, pressing her palms to the furry skirt of her dress. "Besides, Daisy and Jay don't even end up together because Daisy never calls and Jay dies." She gives Kris a pointed look.
"Well in my universe, Daisy and Jay end up together," Kris remarks, glancing up to look behind her and nod at someone.
Joonmyun notices this and turns around. "What are you--?"
The first notes of an instrumental Young and Beautiful start playing and Joonmyun turns to Kris, confused, when he takes her hand and leads her to the middle of the currently empty dance floor.
"In my universe--in our universe--Daisy and Jay will end up together," Kris repeats, staring into Joonmyun's eyes, "if you will let them."
Joonmyun's brows furrow and then she takes a step back, coupled with a muffled cry when she covers her mouth with her hands, as Kris goes down on one knee. He's lifting a red velvet box, inside of which rests the most beautiful diamond ring. Her eyes glisten as they turn to Kris, who's trying very hard, like her, not to cry.
"Kim Joonmyun, will you--?"
"YES!" Joonmyun screams not even allowing Kris to say another word. She throws herself at Kris, who has stood up, and presses her lips to his. "Yes," she repeats, whispering it through his lips. "Yes, I will marry you."
Kris cups her face and kisses her, Joonmyun's arms wrapped around his neck. Just this once, Joonmyun will be okay with being Daisy Buchanan, since it gets her the man of her dreams.
Who are you wearing?
EXO | Chen/Kris | PG-13 | 1,283w
Fluff
For Iya. Prompt is this. Because Jongdae looked like he was wearing Kris' clothes.
"What are you wearing?" Tao asks, stopping in his tracks on the way towards the van.
"Or who?" Baekhyun pipes in, eyeing Jongdae up and down.
"What?" Jongdae asks, confused, when he looks at his clothes. He woke up a bit later than the others that morning and grabbed whatever shirt and jacket he could from the closet.
"Are those... duizhang's clothes?" Tao asks, eyes widening. He exchanges a look with Baekhyun, who smirks before looking back at Jongdae.
"So you guys are in that stage of the relationship now?" Baekhyun teases, pulling both Tao and Jongdae towards the van. "I didn't know that you guys would progress that easily."
Jongdae turns red and untangles his arm from Baekhyun. "Don't make fun of me," he mutters before getting into the van and squeezing in between Chanyeol and Sehun just to get away from the teasing.
It probably isn't a secret to the group that he's been harboring feelings for the EXO-M leader. He's extra annoying and extra boisterous when Kris is around, trolling him more than he would anyone else. It's not like he does it intentionally. Jongdae hadn't even noticed that's what he'd been doing until Kyungsoo had quietly pointed out to him that he's being obvious and should tone it down. And he really did try, except this nervous energy just overtakes him when Kris is around and he could never really help himself.
Jongdae ignores Baekhyun and Tao when they get to the venue, even sidestepping Joonmyun, who had already sensed something was wrong when he was quiet throughout the whole ride. He doesn't think that Joonmyun's mothering will help him, not when Kris has been giving him these angry looks as soon as he got down from the other van. So he just does what he does best when he's worried about something and sings his heart out in between trolling everyone else.
He's in the middle of laughing at Kyungsoo pretending to hit Chanyeol when there's a grip on Jongdae's arm that is so familiar, he doesn't even need to look to know who it is. Jongdae stumbles when he's let go backstage and immediately takes a couple of steps back when he sees Kris practically thundering down towards him.
"It's not true!" Jongdae immediately blurts him, making Kris freeze in his steps.
"What?" Kris asks, blinking.
"Whatever Baekhyun or Tao said, it's not true," Jongdae continues. "I never said anything. They're both lying. They're all lying," he adds, noting how everyone probably betrayed him.
Kris stands there for a second before he starts approaching Jongdae again. Jongdae flinches when Kris places his hands on his arms and Kris sighs.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Kris tells him and Jongdae blinks up at him and is confused because Kris does look like he doesn't know what's happening.
Jongdae swallows, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and swallows again when he sees Kris' stare at his throat. "Uh, then, um what are we doing here?" he asks weakly. Kris' hands on him are warm and is making him feeling like he's going to combust any time soon.
"I just..." Kris clears his throat, looking uncomfortable all of a sudden. "You're wearing my clothes."
This isn't what Jongdae is expecting to come out of the leader's mouth. After all the scarier things that Jongdae had thought, he didn't expect that it would have something to do with clothes.
"What, do you want them back?" Jongdae almost scoffs. Of course Kris is concerned about his personal things. "Right now?" He moves to take off the sweater and then the shirt before Kris grabs his wrists to stop him.
"Stop." Kris' voice is weak. He then moves to hide Jongdae's skin under /his/ clothes. "I didn't--" He runs a hand through his hair to Jongdae's surprise. Kris never touches his hair so casually. "That's not what I meant."
"Then what?" Jongdae is truly puzzled now as to what the issue is. "Am I ruining your clothes? Did you want to tell me off? Don't worry, I won't wear them again. But don't you dare leave your shirts--"
"Jongdae," Kris interrupts him, somewhat harshly. He stares at Jongdae. "Are you playing with me? Is this another one of your games?"
"What. Are you talking about?" Jongdae isn't sure what's happening anymore. "What games?"
"Did you wear my clothes today so you could rub it to my face that I--" Kris coughs. "--you?"
"Huh," Jongdae muses. "Very eloquent, duizhang. Since when do you not know how to express yourself--"
"I like you!" Kris blurts out, throwing his hands up in the air in exasperation. "You overheard Baekhyun and Tao yesterday. They were talking about it and I--look, it's not a big deal. My feelings for you shouldn't be cause for any weirdness in the group. If you hate the fact that I, uh, yeah, don't worry. I'm not going to be a bother. Just... don't make fun of me for it."
Jongdae doesn't say anything, tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth at the incredibly unexpected confession. Kris likes him. Kris /likes/ him. /Kris/ likes him. Kris likes /him/. In what universe is he living in? How is it possible that the Kris Wu, the object of Jongdae's affections since the moment he saw him in the practice rooms, has feelings for him? Except... Kris is shifting in his stance, scuffing the toes of his sneakers in the crack on the floor, and it just really seems like... it might be true. Because Kris, who never tolerates most of the members' games towards him, always lets Jongdae do whatever he wants, even when it meant having to buy new facial products every so often.
Kris hangs his head for a bit and when Jongdae still doesn't speak, he turns around to return to rehearsal. This sends alarming bells to Jongdae's head because there's no way in hell is he going to lose this chance.
Jongdae rushes after Kris, grabs his arm and turns him around. Yup, no way is he going to miss this chance. And so he reaches up, practically grabs Kris' face and mashes their lips together. Kris sputters in surprise for a couple of seconds before he realizes what's happening and kisses Jongdae back.
"You are the stupidest leader--no, the stupidest person in the world," Jongdae tells him when they pull away from what Jongdae can say is the worst and messiest kiss in the world.
"I should bash your head to the wall or something for calling me that," Kris grumbles.
"But you like me so," Jongdae crows in triumph. Kris opens his mouth to protest but Jongdae beats him to it. "Don't worry, I like you, too. That's why I say those things to you."
"Some way to show your affection," Kris mutters, but his cheeks pink and Jongdae just pulls Kris down for another kiss because cute.
This kiss is better. It's less hurried and sweeter and exactly the kind of kiss that Jongdae's always hoped he could share with Kris.
"By the way," Jongdae murmurs in between kisses, "we need to get Baekhyun and Tao back."
"Hmm?" Kris asks distractedly.
"They were teasing me this morning. I thought you were mad at me," Jongdae shares. "And I never overheard anything. I wasn't even with Baekhyun nor Tao yesterday."
Kris immediately pulls away, the stern look back on his face. But before he could turn around and rebuke the two members, Jongdae pulls him back, earning a questioning look from Kris.
"Reprimand them later," Jongdae requests coquettishly, "Right now, just kiss me again."
Kris smirks and willingly obliges.

For JQ. Prompt: LuKai, cupcakes.
Jongin takes a deep breath, taking in the pleasant smell of coffee and pastries so early in the day. Well it's already mid-morning, but he thinks that's early enough for him when, in actually, he wakes up after lunch on weekends. But not this Saturday, not when he finally gets to introduce Lu Han to Jongdae and Baekhyun.
He straightens up when Lu Han comes back with their order, placing two mugs of steaming coffee on the table and a dozen cupcakes. Jongin smiles and pulls Lu Han close when he finally sits down beside him, pressing a light kiss to his cheek.
"You okay?" Jongin asks.
"Fine," Lu Han answers with a stiff nod and a smile that has absolutely no mirth in it.
"Hey." Jongin pulls him even closer, his arm falling around his waist. "It will be okay. There's no reason to be nervous."
"I just want them to like me," Lu Han says in practically a whisper. He's quiet for a second before he's turning to face Jongin. "What if they don't like me? They're your best friends and then there's--"
"That's exactly the point," Jongin cuts him off with a smile and a kiss on the forehead. "They're my best friends and when they see how happy I am, they will have no reason to dislike you."
"Jongin," Lu Han starts, but Jongin is standing up and greeting said best friends.
Jongdae and Baekhyun sit across from Jongin and Lu Han. They exchange pleasantries and soon enough they are all chatting easily with each other, Lu Han's background and home in China catching both his friends' interests.
"This is so good," Jongdae suddenly comments as he munches on his second cupcake. "Man, remember Chanyeol's red velvet cupcakes?" He shakes his head, smiling. "Those were good!"
Lu Han shifts in Jongin's embrace, but Jongin just squeezes his arm. Jongin laughs when Baekhyun agrees, continuing on to say that those were one of the perks of being Jongin's best friend at that time because Chanyeol baked such amazing goodies.
"Jongin really enjoys sweets, doesn't he," Lu Han comments, turning to smile at him.
"Yeah, which is why he and Chanyeol hit it off so much," Baekhyun goes on, slapping Jongdae's hand when he reaches for another cupcake. "Leave some for the lovebirds." He nods towards Lu Han and Jongin.
"Oh did you make this for Jongin?" Jongdae asks sheepishly. "Sorry I thought--"
"No, I didn't," Lu Han quietly cuts him off. He shifts in his seat, a smile on his face that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "I don't know how to bake."
Later in the week, Jongin is frowning as Lu Han's phone just keeps on ringing and ringing and ringing. He's barely seen his boyfriend since they met up with Jongin's friends and now Lu Han's not even picking up his calls. Pocketing his phone, Jongin decides to just go ahead and go over to his apartment.
When he arrives, getting in easily because he knows where the spare key is, he finds Lu Han covered in flour practically from head to toe. There are batches and batches of cupcakes, some looking edible and some looking... not so edible.
"What's going on?" Jongin asks, eyeing the disarray that is Lu Han's kitchen.
Lu Han jumps and whips around, the bowl where he was doing so mixing in falling to the ground, its contents spilling to the marble floor. Jongin stares at the added mess before looking at Lu Han, whose eyes are wide and shining.
"I--" Lu Han starts, but cuts himself off. Instead, he crouches down and tries to sweep up the fallen flour on the floor and back into the bowl.
"Hey," Jongin crouches down beside him. Lu Han's hands are shaking and there's a telltale sniff coming from him. "Han," he calls, grabbing his hands and making him look at him. He furrows his brows at the sight of tears. "Why are you crying? What's wrong?" He glances at all the baking. "Are you stressed about something?"
Lu Han merely shakes his head and untangles his hands from Jongin's grip. He stands and moves to the sink to wash his hands. "I'm just experimenting," he says, laughing as he faces Jongin straightening up.
"Experimenting," Jongin repeats. "But you don't bake..." His eyes widen in realization and Lu Han laughs again. "Lu Han, you don't--"
"How am I supposed to compete with someone you've been in love with for years?" Lu Han blurts out, cheeks pinking due to his peaking emotions. "Someone who's been in your life since you were learning to read and write and someone you still have a friendship with, someone whom your friends clearly--"
"Han," Jongin cuts him off, wrapping an arm around his waist and placing his hand on his cheek. He searches Lu Han's face until their eyes finally meet. It hurts him to know that Lu Han is hurting over something he shouldn't feel anything for. Sure he and Chanyeol are still friends. But Chanyeol is his past. "You're my present," he tells him earnestly. "The here and the now and, hopefully, the future."
Lu Han's face scrunches up as he bursts into tears. "Even if I don't know how to bake?" he sobs.
Jongin laughs and hugs him tightly. "You don't need to know how to bake for me to be with you," he says, "for me to love you."
"Really?" Lu Han asks, pulling away so he can see Jongin's confirmation.
Jongin cups his face and kisses him. "I love you," he whispers in his ear. "You know that, right? I love you."
Lu Han nods like an appeased child. Meeting Jongin's gaze with wide eyes, he leans forward to kiss him again. "And I love you," he whispers through his lips.
Jongin kisses him back with more fervor than he ever has. For Lu Han to be insecure, when he's not one to feel so, means that he's more worried about this than he normally would be. And he wonders what he can do to show Lu Han that he means the world to him.
"What do you say we stop baking for awhile and cuddle while we watch a movie?" Jongin suggests, steering Lu Han towards the living room.
Lu Han eyes him. "You don't like cuddling," he says a bit suspiciously.
Jongin shrugs. "Well, I love you so..." He beams at him when Lu Han wraps his arms tightly around him as they settle on the couch.
Maybe one of these days he and Lu Han should take a baking class together, wrinkling his nose when he remembers the mess in the kitchen.

Lu Han merely shakes his head and untangles his hands from Jongin's grip. He stands and moves to the sink to wash his hands. "I'm just experimenting," he says, laughing as he faces Jongin straightening up.
"Experimenting," Jongin repeats. "But you don't bake..." His eyes widen in realization and Lu Han laughs again. "Lu Han, you don't--"
"How am I supposed to compete with someone you've been in love with for years?" Lu Han blurts out, cheeks pinking due to his peaking emotions. "Someone who's been in your life since you were learning to read and write and someone you still have a friendship with, someone whom your friends clearly--"
"Han," Jongin cuts him off, wrapping an arm around his waist and placing his hand on his cheek. He searches Lu Han's face until their eyes finally meet. It hurts him to know that Lu Han is hurting over something he shouldn't feel anything for. Sure he and Chanyeol are still friends. But Chanyeol is his past. "You're my present," he tells him earnestly. "The here and the now and, hopefully, the future."
Lu Han's face scrunches up as he bursts into tears. "Even if I don't know how to bake?" he sobs.
Jongin laughs and hugs him tightly. "You don't need to know how to bake for me to be with you," he says, "for me to love you."
"Really?" Lu Han asks, pulling away so he can see Jongin's confirmation.
Jongin cups his face and kisses him. "I love you," he whispers in his ear. "You know that, right? I love you."
Lu Han nods like an appeased child. Meeting Jongin's gaze with wide eyes, he leans forward to kiss him again. "And I love you," he whispers through his lips.
Jongin kisses him back with more fervor than he ever has. For Lu Han to be insecure, when he's not one to feel so, means that he's more worried about this than he normally would be. And he wonders what he can do to show Lu Han that he means the world to him.
"What do you say we stop baking for awhile and cuddle while we watch a movie?" Jongin suggests, steering Lu Han towards the living room.
Lu Han eyes him. "You don't like cuddling," he says a bit suspiciously.
Jongin shrugs. "Well, I love you so..." He beams at him when Lu Han wraps his arms tightly around him as they settle on the couch.
Maybe one of these days he and Lu Han should take a baking class together, wrinkling his nose when he remembers the mess in the kitchen.
