You Make My Heart Pop —gyuhao fic
Person A proposing by putting the ring in a bowl of popcorn and using the line “I thought it was time to pop the question” and personal B seriously contemplates saying no because of it
Mingyu was positive his best friend would say yes, he was ecstatic to imagine the look on Minghao’s face when he felt the ring in the bottom of the popcorn bowl. Mingyu’s chocolate orbs sparkled with mischief and nervousness as he grabbed the popcorn off the shelf in the grocery store; this plan had to work, it just had to.
It wasn’t a shock to their members when they announced they had decided to see one another, in fact the members told them they had all made a bet to when one of them would reveal their feelings towards the other (Jeonghan somehow managed to win all the money, Seungkwan still to this day believes Jeonghan cheated) Mingyu was the first to admit he was in love with his friend, he didn’t exactly know when he did but he knew he loved the boy more than like a brother, he wanted to experience things with him in a way a brother wouldn’t. The whole reveal was something out of a cheesy romance movie and Mingyu was damn proud of it. He had asked him to go to see a movie, a horror one Minghao had begged the members to go see, so he could hold him in his arms as he shielded himself from the mythological horror villain; Minghao ended up looking down at his hyung and their lips met, shifting their friendship into a relationship.
Now, both of them were in their late twenties and the group was slowly settling down, comebacks now every other year rather than three times a year, members releasing solo work and going back to school or starting families were now a priority, their legacy still amongst the greats; their bodies aging and moves no longer as easy as they once were. Mingyu and Minghao being together didn’t interfere at all with the group and its priorities, it only made them get teased when they booked hotel rooms and to keep it PG for their maknae, all in a loving way. Their arguments always ended with a kiss and misunderstandings talked out when the group had their daily therapy sessions after practice.
Minghao was now a solo star and a talk show host in his homeland, Mingyu was so proud of what his partner had accomplished in so little time, his skills top notch and his fans constantly growing. Mingyu was constantly trying to improve in every aspect, his visuals were now up there with Junhui’s and he enjoyed teasing him about it when they all reunite weekly, he was also preparing to release a mixtape, his first.
When Mingyu returned from the store he set his plan into action, cooking a meat dinner and preparing the popcorn, the ring never leaving his pocket.
“Babe I’m home!” Minghao walked into their burgundy living room to see his boyfriend lounging on the couch, a throw covered his body as he turned to face his partner, smiling like a giddy school boy after school, he was home and his plan was about to unfold.
They ate dinner and talked about their days and cleaned up, Minghao slowly made his way back to the living room with his beer as he waited for Mingyu to prepare dessert.
Minghao was confused to say the least when Mingyu brought popcorn instead of a cheesecake he had prepared the night before.
“What is this?”
“Popcorn, Hao”
“Yes I see that but why?”
“Just shut up and eat it, please?”
Minghao eyed Mingyu and put his hand in the bowl, his hand coming in contact with something cold at the bottom of the dish, he picked it up allowing popcorn to fly around the room, landing on the hardwood floors.
“Again I repeat, what is this?”
“I thought it was time to pop the question” Mingyu said with a smirk, his eyes searching Minghao’s as his fingers toyed with the ring.
“You realize this is making me rethink my answer?” Minghao retorted as Mingyu let out a laugh and snaked is arm around the red heads neck pulling him closer so that he could kiss him.
“Like there was any possibility you’d say no, you’ve stuck with my antics this long”
