They don’t know know each other. But when Renjun is crouched down in front of his door, curled up with his head buried in his arms as he hugs himself, worry begins to settle in Donghyuck’s chest.

In a world where your soulmate's bruises appear on your skin without the pain, Donghyuck is too prideful to let Renjun know that he’s the reason behind the oddly placed bruises that appear on his skin whenever Donghyuck does something without much thought.

Donghyuck isn't even supposed to be here, standing tall and dark at the door of Renjun's cafe, and yet, there he is, scaring customers away.

Yeah, seems about right. Just another regular Tuesday.

Renjun gets a little overwhelmed. Donghyuck is there for him.

Renjun hasn’t been quiet about their life beyond this apartment but Donghyuck is not one for subliminal messages. From when he confessed under that tree in ninth grade and Renjun could see the younger’s eyes burning holes into his lips, he’s come to realise for a fact that Donghyuck and subtle do not go hand in hand. So either he isn’t meaning to leave his tabs open or his laptop lid up, or he really does want Renjun to get down on one knee but doesn’t want to ask. For some odd reason— something is up and Renjun will find out sooner or later.

That’s that, and they go back to sipping their drinks. Then Donghyuck says: “Come on, give me your shit."

Renjun raises his eyebrow. “Haven’t I been giving you shit since the moment we met?”

Donghyuck, despite himself, smiles.

The delivery guy tilts his head, and something under his eyes shines. Donghyuck almost chokes on nothing. Is that– is that a fucking anti eyebrow piercing he's sporting?

Cheek piercing guy slash cute pizza delivery boy slash potential Donghyuck's early death opens his mouth to ask monotonously:

“Large traditional pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni, for Lee Donghyuck?”

In an attempt to woo his best friend, Donghyuck books them a weekend at a nice little log cabin in the forest. It’s homey, cute; he figures it’s the picturesque place for a confession.

Renjun apparently disagrees. “I’m not going in there. That place is totally haunted.”

“You like Renjun,” Ten says plainly as if he’d known all along.

Donghyuck opens his mouth to counter him, but there really was no point in attempting concealment; Ten already sees right through him.

“Well,” Ten clasps a terrifyingly steady hand on Donghyuck’s shoulder. “It’s about damn time.”

Renjun adores Donghyuck and of course he would do anything to make his friend happy. He doesn't quite understand how that has led him to become the number one hero but if Donghyuck is happy then so is he.

a very self indulgent writing of haechan and renjun learning to communicate and learning how to say i love you. the angst is very light and there’s a lot of comfort, it’s a little tooth rottening. also a lot of stupid humor because that’s how renhyuck rolls.

If anyone asks him who is superhero White Crescent is to him, Donghyuck will write hundreds of essays to show his love and admiration for the guy. How can he not choose him to be his favorite superhero, when their first meeting is one of the most memorable first meetings he ever had? Sure, the hero is just a water bender who can fly to most people, but he's really important to him, okay?!

or: superhero au where Donghyuck is a fanboy of a superhero named 'White Crescent', not knowing the hero is his best friend Renjun, who has been in love with him since forever.

Jaemin is baffled to receive the diary of a dead dude named Huang Renjun instead of the workbook on Old Mandarin that he'd ordered from eBay, but when life gives you lemons you gotta make some lemonade, right?

Would have been nice to get a refund, though.

Winning against him is impossible, losing to him is not an option... but asking Renjun Huang to the Yule Ball? Now that would be ridiculous.

Huang Renjun just wanted to pass—he wasn't expecting his new tutor to be an ex-friend.

Much less one that was his cousin's ex.

Donghyuck wants to play. Renjun just wants to finish his puzzle

Donghyuck simply enjoys seeing Renjun angry.

or; the "oh you wanna kiss me so bad" renhyuck edition that absolutely no one asked for.

The thing about summoning a soul eater is; first, make sure they are alright being called upon. Second, ensure that they are not busy with, well, underworld theatre stuff (such as qualifying for the role of a prima ballerina). Third, check if they are on a diet (if they are, please don't continue with the ritual). And last but not the least, be certain you won't get the human-hater, grumpy type. Well, not that you can really check and validate your chances. You can always leave it on the wheel of luck.

And Donghyuck? Well, you can guarantee his wheel of luck has stopped spinning long ago.
