shades of you

pairing: non-idol!the8 x gn!reader

prompt: soulmate au series. 3/13

word count: 3.3k~

warnings: complicated feelings about a soulmate. mentions of anger, but it’s not directly toward anyone.

daisy’s notes: sometimes u simply finish a fic after not working on it for like two months. anyway have some artist!hao.

summary: There’s a reason Minghao sticks to monochrome outfits, and it’s because he lives life one color at a time based off of whatever his soulmate is feeling. Sometimes they blend together, but he’s used to seeing only one real shade among his world. He’d be lying if it wasn’t frustrating…

Life in mono color was unfair in its own damn right, and Minghao knew it firsthand because his existence was tied to you in the most unfair way.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want a soulmate–frankly, he’d rather have than have not. But there was a clear reason why he stuck to monochrome outfits when he could, and it was because that had been easier. His entire closet was organized by color already, everything labeled in either a sleeve or a sewn-in piece of fabric with the color written in neat handwriting. In itself, that broadcast how much his family and friends loved him and that they were willing to accommodate him as best as they could. But he was living a life of muted colors in whatever color matched his soulmate’s mood. Minghao knew that he was luckier than some people (he couldn’t imagine what Seungcheol experienced in his day to day, seeing no color at all–it almost made him guilty sometimes for being so pissed at his own sign). When you were happy, all he could see was bright yellow standing out against the desaturated yellow world; in anger, it was dark reds. He’d learned to decipher what colors were more real than the others–a blue shirt would always be a brighter shade than the rest of his monotone world and would feel more right than other blue things. It took a little guesswork, and sometimes the occasional text to his friend to confirm that the red shirt he had picked out was indeed red, but he made it work. If nothing else, he could pull off monochrome incredibly well.

Truthfully, it was the little things like that.

it’s sunday thank god because you woke up feeling completely hopeless, staying in bed like there’s no safer place to be, not bothered to make breakfast, lunch, or a cup of tea. 

soonyoung always comes over for dinner on sunday nights, and the two of you cook together and watch a childhood movie that’s nearly escaped your memories completely. today, he hasn’t heard anything from you. his morning was hectic, and he checked his phone periodically, but figured you were busy. maybe caught up in something, told himself you saw a friend or went to the market. but by 2:30pm, he’s worried after sending a text nearly an hour ago, having no idea you fell back asleep.

your apartment is so quiet when he arrives. the blinds are closed, and the usual aroma of vanilla and chamomile is missing.

soonyoung would give you his sneakers and walk back home wearing your heels if they hurt your feet too much

do you have any soft domestic hao thoughts? 🥺

OH BOY

domestic!hao who'd get pouty whenever you forget to wake him up before you have to go to work

domestic!hao who'd look up houses out of your price range with you, just to imagine what your shared potential future could look like

domestic!hao who'd buy you matching sunglasses or scarves or rings because he thinks it's endlessly romantic - it'd feel like you'd have a piece of the other with you wherever you'd go

domestic!hao who'd link his arm with yours wherever you'd go, pressing soft kisses to the back of your hand from time to time

domestic!hao who'd love to just watch other people with you - making up stories of what their lifes are like

domestic!hao who'd doodle little hearts or stars on your skin, because the thought of you looking at his little masterpiece and thinking of him makes his heart swell in his chest
