Entwined 🧡

Like, I had to get rid of mine when I was a child bc I moved from the American south to the north and they'd make fun of how I pronounced things (or struggled to pronounce things), so I literally erased what accent I had. I can still do it, but it's not mine now, you know?

So just imagining the lads finding out you had an accent one day. Maybe you mention it in passing, or it starts to slip out just the smallest bit after talking/watching something with that accent, or you pronounce something new the way you would have when you had the accent. However it comes about, I can just imagine them being so curious and interested

(Feel free to add on for the other lads but Sylus rules my brain lately so)

I feel like he'd not necessarily be insensitive, but he'd tease a little bit. Repeat the word you said weird with a raised brow and a smirk, huffing softly with amusement. It's not that he's trying to be mean - he's encountered so many accents in his travels, even picking a few up when he speaks other languages. But he just didn't expect it and he likes to be a little shit

He doesn't realize how much it bothered you until Mephisto overheard you practicing pronunciations of various words, playing over and over what it "should" sound like and copying it, sighing and groaning with annoyance when you still hear the slightest inkling of an accent

Excuse me what do you mean you have to hide how you speak? What do you mean you are embarrassed because sometimes words sound funky or you slip back to your own language/accent.

Excuse me cutie does this predicament require godly intervention? Because like hell he will step in. Because all thing considered he would adore the slip ups, duh he will ragebait you into slipping, oh yes please scold me in your mother tounge/in your heavy accent, come on just a little.

You're dripping water on the carpet of Zayne's office. He pauses by the coffee machine, where he'd been making you a cup of tea to fight off the almost definite cold you caught when you'd run over to Akso hospital in the pouring rain.

"What?" He's never looked quite so shocked, eyes wide with surprise as if the idea was so inconceivable. Funny, you thought it was obvious.

"I was going to wait to tell you. I-I figured maybe going on a date first would be better but then I was at work and I thought about it and I just couldn't believe that I was going to go even a second longer without ever telling you how hopelessly in love I am with you because-"

He's in front of you before you realize, his cool hands cupping your face. But before you can even process it, he's kissing you.

You've probably dreamed about kissing Zayne a hundred times. Still, nothing even comes close to the real thing.

It's hard to pull away, but when your lungs start to burn, you break contact just enough to take in some air. Neither of you move, lips still just a few centimeters apart.

"I thought that you..."

"I haven't shown it well, I know. I didn't want to burden you. In case you didn't feel the same." He murmurs, thumb brushing your cheek as if he can't quite believe it either.

"Say it?" You don't have to explain, or beg. Zayne hums, and after stealing another soft kiss, says the words you've waited years to hear.
