NCT Dream: Sharing Weirdly Intimate/romantic Moments With Them+ Shotaro & Sungchan

NCT Dream: Sharing weirdly intimate/romantic moments with them + Shotaro & Sungchan

Mark and Haechan are included in NCT 127 version -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❁ [Renjun] you have an eyelash on your face; Probably the most innocent yet weirdly romantic action of the bunch. When he reached up to move the little nuisance he got a really good look at your eyes and he liked what he saw. The way the sun reflected in them and he could see every colour, every fleck, every detail. A super cliche moment, but the tone was set when both of your breaths hitched and you felt like you were really seeing each other for the first time; a moment of romantic tension that made your heart skip. Sometimes it's hard to talk to him because you can feel him staring into your soul and while the attention isn't unwelcome, it's hard to get used to. You're always asking him what he's staring at, and he'll laugh bashfully and say it's nothing but his eyes are already flicking back to yours and he can't stop himself from taking in your features now that he's really appreciating them.

❁ [Jeno] "I don't know why I'm telling you this"; the kind of intimacy that is brought on by sharing secrets. You were sat there talking for hours, one topic led to another and then suddenly he was going off on a tangent you weren't sure you were supposed to be hearing. "Sorry, I just feel like you get it," he told you, his face a little apologetic. Jeno reminds of that closeness where you know each other maybe a little too well, and even if you're slower with revealing secrets of the same calibre, Jeno makes you feel extra special by choosing to tell you these things. The kind of intimacy where he feels anxious to see you, you're always hearing about how he's looking for you, the relief he shows visibly when he finally gets to talk to the person who understands him.

❁ [Jaemin] falling asleep together; Whether the relationship was romantic or platonic, falling asleep next to Jaemin was unavoidably amorous. It was a pretty full on day for the both of you, and barely any time to sit and rest before you were on the move again, so when you finally got back to his and thought to wind down, it was pretty inevitable that you'd both fall asleep. It was that fluttery feeling when you knew you were dozing on his shoulder and was conscious of the fact that he made no effort to move you. Also, falling asleep and feeling 100% comfortable enough to not set an alarm and just accept you'd wake up when you were rested. The added shared laughter when he tells you about a weird dream he had while snickering at your bed-head, wiping the sleep out of your eyes and arguing about whose going to be the one to leave the cosy confines of the bed first.

❁ [Chenle] having the same sense of humour; That bonding moment when someone laughs at the joke that you thought nobody would get. Now Chenle sees you as one of the funniest people he knows and your ears are blessed with his unique laugh all the time because you know just what will set him off. He loves hearing the way you tell stories because nobody does them justice like you do, and there's the romanticism of talking in what feels like your own bubble because people often struggle to laugh with the two of you. When something trivial happens to him, you're the first he seeks out or calls impromptu because he knows you'll find it the most entertaining. Expect to look up mid-way conversation and be greeted with a lot of confused stares because you're teary eyed from laughter and nobody, apart from Chenle, are sure that it was even that funny to begin with.

❁ [Jisung] eye contact; An action so simple, yet when someone is as awkward as you and Jisung, eye contact is hard to come by. It was when you were telling a story, and you had to keep flicking your eyes to his chin and forehead because his eyes were burrowing into yours and you couldn't tell where this uncharacteristic behaviour was coming from. The eye contact expanded to other forms of physical closeness, how he'd not move or flinch if you came to stand by him, he didn't shrug you off if you placed a hand on his shoulder or in his hair. Your group of friends would always act exaggeratedly shocked because Jisung didn't let anyone cling to him usually, yet here you were, ruffling his hair playfully and he was smiling just as much as you were. "It's different with you," he'd mutter abashedly, looking down, his bravery suddenly dwindling.

❁ [Shotaro] you're the only two people that know each other; That feeling of utter relief when you were pure dreading an event where you thought you didn't know anybody, and suddenly a familiar face is staring straight at you. That bond where you spend the whole day pretty much plastered to each other and people keep asking you how you met and you can have the satisfaction of telling them you're already friends. If the event you were attending told you to get into pairs, he's that feeling of comfort because he's already smiling at you because of course you'll be a pair. When the day is done, you now have the renewed closeness of experiencing it together and it's a conversation you always fall back on, and you remember it fondly because you can only imagine how awkward you'd have felt if he wasn't there.

❁ [Sungchan] When he's visibly comforted by your presence; It's a nice feeling to see Sungchan physically drop his shoulders and breathe out when you enter a room. You weren't quite sure where this bond originated from, but he saw something in you that was very comforting and now you were the person he always clung to at gatherings. He didn't necessarily have to be standing next to you the whole time, but it was just knowing you were in the same room, hearing your voice and laugh, seeing your form in his periphery. That strangely romantic feeling of sharing glances across a room and when you have to leave, the slightly frantic look in his eye before you promise that you'll be back in a second.

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

NCT 127: sharing weirdly intimate/romantic moments with them

NCT Dream (+ Shotaro & Sungchan) version -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❁ [Taeil] sharing food and utensils nonchalantly; It went totally unnoticed by everyone else, but when he took you up on the bottle of water you offered him and he didn't even bother to drink from a different side you became hyper aware of the intimacy. After that you couldn't ignore how he would snag bites of your food, drink from the same drink, even blushing hard at how Haechan would tease you and say you had an indirect kiss while you tried to hopelessly force a narrative that it didn't mean anything. The fluttery feeling of him casually handing over bits of his own food, the almost-embarrassment when instead of just handing it to you he wanted to feed it to you, a look of mirth decorating his face as he held it up teasingly. That feeling of being singled out when he made a huge deal about Johnny drinking his coffee straight from the straw, knowing full well he couldn't care less when you did the same.

❁ [Johnny] When you realise you both are in love with the same band/Tv show/ movie series; That exciting moment when both of your eyes go wide and obnoxious gasps sound out of your mouths, and everybody around you sighs because they know you guys won't shut up about that topic for at least the next few hours. The moment your stomach flips with excitement when someone finally understands one of your references and now you're always seeking each other out to see if you're up to date with the new season/new album. That wonderful feeling of instantaneous bonding that follows through now that you've spent so much more time together. That feeling when you're aware you and him are falling out of step with your group, three steps behind because you're both so absorbed in conversation and nobody wants to third wheel with you.

❁ [Taeyong] When you're both awake at ridiculous times of the day; Do you remember that bizarre feeling of waking up during a sleepover and the world is completely quiet? You feel like you're existing in an alternate universe? When you share that moment with Taeyong it feels both jarring and strangely bonding. When neither of you can sleep and you found solace in his presence, you felt like the only two people in the world while you chatted about literally everything and nothing. Topics getting derailed and going off on tangents while you listened to the trickle of water that was his fish tank. Of course you fall asleep eventually, but you can't really look at him the same way the following morning as you greet him over a bowl of cereal.

❁ [Yuta] Having the most personal and random inside jokes; That hilarious euphoria when somebody said one word that was supposed to have no meaning, but now you're nearly doubled over and your abs ache so much because you're trying so hard to not laugh out loud. Yuta is having the same struggle, you can feel his body shaking in a silent laugh while the person speaking is just watching on confused because what the hell could have possibly been so funny? That weird feeling of intimacy when you're both reminded of the joke and his eyes catch yours playfully and twinkling with laughter, the smirk growing on both your faces because no one will ever understand; they just had to be there.

❁ [Doyoung] When you inadvertently share a big secret; The weird intimacy you now have because in a room full of people, only he knows something truly deep and dark about you. Sometimes when we carry heavy burdens, the weight of them can crush us when we least expect it, it just so happened that Doyoung was on the receiving end of the conversation when it happened. Maybe you were just casual friends before, but now you're a lot closer since he knows to quickly change the topic of convo if it's leading dangerously close to making you upset, or doing you the solid of making excuses for you if you have to be absent for something because of it. His actions read gentlemanly, but his motivations are out of total compassion, the intimacy where he knows you better than anyone.

❁ [Jaehyun] When it dawns on you that you spend more time alone together than you do with your group; Maybe the only reason you know each other was because of a mutual friend, but you couldn't help but feel giddy when he first reached out to you to meet up and it wasn't in the usual group chat. Jaehyun reminds of that scandalous feeling when you worry for a second that your mutual friend might be pissed off that you're hanging out together without them, but that feeling kinda deflates when you watch him flicking through his record collection, no anxiety reading on his stance at all. He's that feeling of a new friendship blossoming, every time you meet up you stay for longer each time and gradually never becoming stuck for conversation. Your mutual friend is starting to get confused when you bring up funny events that they weren't even present for and you realise that you make plans with just the two of you way more than you and your other friend ever did.

❁ [Jungwoo] always brushing up against you or sitting near you; It could have been as nonchalant as his shoulder pressing against yours when he sat to watch something on your phone, the smell of his cologne when he reached across you to hand something over, his hair barely tickling your cheek while he read the screen of your computer. It was these little things that felt strangely romantic, and you always wondered if the feelings were mutual. Jungwoo is a tactile dude, so it was always uncertain if they were just careless touches, or if he knew what he was doing. Jungwoo is that feeling of warmth when you're sat next to each other and his leg is pressing up against yours, he makes no effort to move it, the longer he stays the more comfortable you become and it's really hard not to preen internally when he always makes sure to snag the seat next to you wherever you go.

❁ [Mark] Showing him your childhood bedroom for the first time; That strange feeling of vulnerability when a room you're so familiar with is being ogled by Mark Lee. You sit on the bed as he looks around while trying not to be nosy, making amused comments at family or baby photos, admiring any trivial high school achievements or that one huge collection of items that were your hyper-fixation during middle school. It shouldn't necessarily feel romantic, but when he sits on your dinky bed and puts the teddy bear you've had since you were a baby in his lap, you can't help but feel your heart tug at how none-judgemental he is. Your old bedroom is almost an archive of your young adolescence, your entire personality wrapped up and stored in your Ikea shelves, and Mark wants to learn about all of it.

❁ [Haechan] Both of you being where you shouldn't be; That feeling when your stomach flips and your heart jumps because of the adrenaline flowing, him shushing you but laughing just as much as you are whilst deftly pressing a finger to your lips. You're both in a bit of shit if anyone finds you, but it all just adds to the experience. You're in such close proximity, one baby step closer and you'd be moulded into one entity, but you're trying so hard to not focus on that and concentrate on making as little noise as possible. When the person looking for you leaves, you both vow to never tell anybody what happened, the new pact forcing a bond that may have not been there before. Haechan embodies mischief, he's the master of invoking that feeling of rebellion and excitement, and now that he sees you're not afraid of a little misconduct he's going to seek you out a lot more often.

writing fanfiction is just. i’m being so creative and original. i’m plagiarizing everyone by accident. i’m a genius. i’m cringe. i’m too angsty. i’m too cheesy. this is not in character. it doesn’t matter that it’s not in character because these are my characters now. i love my hobby. this is the worst possible use of my time. i’m seeking validation. i’m projecting my own personal problems onto this story and i’m barely hiding it. i know so many words and i’m using all of them wrong. im on tumblr posting about it instead of writing it.

NCT 127: How they would be as coworkers in a shitty office

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

❁ [Taeil] King of the welcome wagon; If it was your first day working in a small dinky business, Taeil will make it his sole responsibility to make the environment as inviting as possible. After all, the business wasn't some glamorous well known company, nor was it an exciting new start up, so Taeil made it his mission to paint the office as pretty as he could before you could decide if the job was too boring to keep. If you ask any of his co-workers they'll tell you nobody put him in charge of welcoming the newbie, but it seemed everybody but you noticed him do a double take at the receptionist's desk where you waited to be shown around. Soft moments included him making you a coffee every time he left to make his own, making a point of clearing a little space in the communal fridge for your lunch and hanging around while trying to maintain a respectful distance in case you had any queries so he could be the first to answer them. If you were low-key dreading your first day, you kinda forget about the nerves quickly because of his kindness and tells you cheerfully "See, we don't bite." Will make sure you have everything you need, down to the last sticky note and ball point pen, and smiles bashfully at you when you go to thank him.

❁ [Johnny] cheesy office romance; It was quite impressive really, the fact that Johnny managed to unlock every single office romance cliche you could think of and he wasn't subtle about it either. Though there was no policy really about dating co-workers, the whole situation was a tiny bit embarrassing given the blatant flirting from the titan walking around in his shirt and tie, always throwing devilish smiles from over the photocopier. Even if his desk was miles away from yours, there would always be an excuse to stroll by your work space to drop off some paperwork personally, or remind you of the meeting happening in the afternoon despite the email reminder going around. Johnny really put his bladder through it since he now took too frequent trips to the water cooler that was so conveniently placed next to your desk. The whole office gagged when you finally agreed to go for drinks after work. The hours were spent buying each other pints and admiring him with his tie loosened and shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing the delicate tattoos that decorated the skin there before calling it a night and letting him kiss you on your porch after walking you home. You kind of became the height of office gossip, which Johnny thrived in, but you couldn't really be mad when you were dating that tall glass of water after all.

❁ [Taeyong] The receptionist with first aid training; Stapling your finger was embarrassing enough, imagine the heat flooding your cheeks when the receptionist appears at your desk clutching the first aid kit, big kind eyes glancing at your finger empathetically. Taeyong was the first face you saw when you walked through the door, that alone making a wonderful first impression, also he was a very diligent worker. He never made a fuss when you asked him to fax something, make a memo or photocopy, and when you had to ring the office because you left your keycard and needed to be let in, he laughed that off with you too while assuring that it happened all the time. On the blasted day you aimed the stapler at your paper but instead caught your finger, Taeyong was the first to perk from behind his desk at your exclamation of "Ow!" and was by your side before you knew it. He apologised profusely at the sting of an anti-bacterial wipe and wrapped your finger gingerly in a plaster, his chair scooted towards you and your knees bumping occasionally. You were pretty sure every female in the office was crushing on him and you were one of many, but you couldn't help the blush when you received a private IM chat asking if you wanted to get coffee after work: "Date? :)" he wrote at the end of the message. You wasted no time typing on your computer a reply, sneaking a glance at his face from behind the desk and exchanging a smile before looking busy once again.

❁ [Yuta] The guy that lowkey terrified you; Yuta was the co-worker that, whether it was on purpose or not, pushed you away with sheer intimidation and sinfully good looks. When you first encountered him in the office you were sure he was a model undercover, and when that was debunked you were sure he must have had a much higher level and higher paying job than you. His presence read corporate, the cologne you sometimes caught a whiff of smelt expensive and you could easily picture him in a big leather chair in a tall glass building barking orders at people. What surprised you was behind the intimidating aura, lay the humility of any of your other co-workers. All it took was one painfully awkward conversation in the break room and with the power of pointless small talk you learnt that his weekend plans didn't involve a modelling side hustle like you expected, but rather being a homebody, watching animated movies and cooking dinner for one instead. When you did finally enter an established relationship with him, expect impulsive moments like being tugged into the copier room so he can press his lips to yours and run his hands through your hair, or intense staring contests when other male co-workers demanded your attention. Overall, he was terrifying, but his redeemable qualities involved making dates after work so you had something to look forward to, buying your favourite cake during office parties and volunteering to do overtime with you so you would always be entertained.

❁ [Doyoung] The manager that scares you shitless; For the position of local branch manager, Doyoung exuded way more power and intimidation than what was probably warranted. Maybe that was why he managed to get the branch performing so well, everybody dreaded being called into his office for "friendly chitchat" after making a small mistake. When you first arrived, you steered as clear from him as possible, only venturing near his office when absolutely needed. What you didn't see was the way he would watch you intently in your little office nook, always appreciating how hard you worked and how cute you looked in your office get-up. You often squirmed at the amount of eye-contact he gave you when he ran meetings and you would glance around to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing. Nope, just you. When he did call you into his office that one time you were quaking in your shoes. You had already convinced yourself you were fired before you had even reached his office door, but the feeling was replaced soon enough with confusion when he did eventually speak to you. "I just wanted to ask... would you be interested in.... this corporate training program?" He rushed. My god, your boss was just as awkward as the next bumbling guy. It would be a while before he asked you on an official date, dinner for two, also quite a bit of paperwork to fill out with HR, but you would come to realise his icy exterior wasn't all that icy when he wasn't in work-mode.

❁ [Jaehyun] The temp that never left; Jaehyun was fresh from university, now venturing into the world of work but still had the boyish aura that set him apart from the rest of the men in the office. From the way he spoke to you over lunch in the break room you could tell he was full of ambition, but also didn't seem to be in any rush to leave this job any time soon. Jaehyun was the guy who you initially tried not to get too close to, since you were under the impression that he would be leaving after completing the temporary placement and when he left it would hurt like a bitch. However, you could have sworn his placement ended like a month ago, but eventually you learnt that he somehow managed to talk himself into a full-time position. "Oh that, yeah, I guess I just realised I had more reasons to stay." He shrugged as casually as he could when you asked about it. You couldn't deny that you were happy, not when you saw his smiling face in the conference room saving you a seat, hearing his outrageous stories from uni and always being the two to get a little too drunk at corporate parties and being sent home in a taxi of shame. Romance blossomed when you remembered that one drunken kiss in the backseat and you both bonded when your boss gave you the cold shoulder after arriving to work a little more than dishevelled and with a hangover.

❁ [Jungwoo] Desk buddy; Honestly, who could hate their job when they had a sweet Jungwoo sitting at the desk adjacent to theirs. You kinda scored when your boss appointed you this specific desk because Jungwoo took to you almost embarrassingly quick. It made your heart swell looking at all the little knick knacks on his desk; toys to fiddle with and colourful sticky notes, this was just one part of his persona. You were a little shocked when he offered you a cigarette during the lunch break, kind of exposing a duality you didn't know existed, but nobody could be that wholesome of a person. Monday to Friday 9-5 was filled with Jungwoo ping-ponging back and forth between these traits, any off handed comments he would mutter to you when the boss was giving an announcement or the conversations you would overhear him having with a friend over the phone would remind you he wasn't a total puppy of a human being. However, the way he always offered to share a snack and would flick paper and notes at you playfully was also very much him being himself. You always fluttered a little at the smirk he would throw your way when your manager was talking something boring or ridiculous, it seemed those smirks were only reserved for you. It didn't take long before he became your best friend in the office, if he wasn't in that day you were in the right mind to just call it quits yourself (and vice versa), he was the guy that made the long hours that much more bearable.

❁ [Mark] The bumbling intern; When it came to responsibilities in the work place, you tried to delegate as little of that as possible to Mark the intern. It was cute really, the guy put in 110% effort into his tasks and yet when it came to coffee orders, photocopying or sending out a memo, something nearly always went wrong. You couldn't help but admire his enthusiasm, also that he made an effort to know everybody in the office, including the cleaners. Mark was one of the first people to greet you when you joined, waving around a little notebook of Starbucks orders and a company card to splurge, urging you to write down whatever you wanted. A simple task right? Rookie mistake. Bless him, you would never tell him how his mistake of getting full dairy rather than the soy you requested led to a night on and off the toilet, but that just scratched the surface of his office blunders. Somehow, he never cost the company too much, but there was a reason why the poor boy never got promoted beyond intern. He wasn't deterred though, he'd lean up against your desk while you made idle chit chat and he'd tell you that he liked his job and he didn't aspire to be the best in this business. Where he really proved himself was during company functions, you'll never forget during the annual employee bbq when he asked you your favourite song so he could sing it melodically accompanied skilfully with a guitar. Mark's contributions to the work place were always a little unpredictable, but he kept things interesting and people, including you, genuinely enjoyed having him around.

❁ [Haechan] Probably the reason you get fired; Even in the workplace, Haechan can't deny himself a bit of mischief. He made a stellar first impression by rocking up half an hour late, sending your boss a half arsed apology and plonking down at the desk across the room from yours. To be honest, he kind of annoyed you at first, his attitude came off immature and you didn't appreciate how distracting he was when you had work to do. However, things started to change at some point. Haechan was the guy that convinced you to ditch the office party and sit on the rooftop with him to watch the city lights, the guy that sent out ridiculous memos just to catch you smile and the guy eventually became the reason for you own demise after he started picking you up for breakfast most mornings. When the manager called you in his office after being late the third time in a row, you ducked your head and mumbled something about traffic while hiding a croissant wrapper in your pocket, Haechan covered a laugh with a cough and apologised on behalf of both of you. When you asked him about why he never seemed to give a shit about anything, you learnt that it was because he had a taste for adventure; "Don't tell me you wanna stay and work here forever? Don't you wanna do something more... exciting with your life?" He asked you incredulously, like the answer was obvious. He kinda got you, no, you didn't want to work in a dingy office for the rest of you life. To be honest, when he painted a picture of moving to a big city, or taking a road trip, or just fucking off to the suburbs you didn't hate the sound of that either. When you were both sat there in your manager's office, signing off on a severance package, you weren't even mad. You didn't have time to be, Haechan was already clasping your hand and leading you to his car and laughing about finally being free, tugging his tie from around his neck whilst driving no where in particular- the start of an adventure.
