🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who works out with you by his side. He needs to be in peak physical condition. I mean, his job literally consists of him bashing through doors and rescuing people from burning buildings (and cats stuck on trees). He does most of the training at work, but when he’s at home, he still likes to do some weights, sit ups, or pushups. He’ll let you watch as he does the weights. Sit ups or push ups are also the best. He’ll get you to hold his feet down and he will kiss you every time he completes a sit up. He’ll also get you to press against his back/ sit on his back as he does push ups. Hey! If he has to carry people down burning buildings, you can do it, regardless of how much you weigh. Here’s the fun part. You love the way his biceps will flex. You get to watch his muscles flex and tense and then relax. Bonus, if there’s a stray trickle of sweat down his veiny arms. Mingyu just loves to fluster you. 100% will ask if you want to shower with him after. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who despite being the biggest tease there is, is also the cutest, most adorable puppy of a boyfriend ever. He felt bad when he moved in with you at first. His working hours are all so off and he could be called in at any time. He doesn’t like that you now have to adjust your schedule around him. But you tell him not to worry his pretty little head. He’s a big, strong firefighter who literally goes around saving people and cats! You would gladly adjust your schedule to suit his. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who needs sleep before his long shifts but will wake up an hour earlier than necessary so he can prepare his meals with you. He doesn’t want you to have to do all that by yourself. While the firehouse does have food, nothing will ever be as good as a home cooked meal by his s/o. Of course, sometimes he is still half asleep so he just wraps you in a back hug as you potter around the kitchen making his food. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who begins to sulk as soon as he knows he needs to get ready. He hates having to go for his shifts because they can sometimes last up to 48 hours. He clings to you so much he’s practically attached to you. He’s going to miss you. Cuddles and kisses are a must before he leaves. Hey, he doesn’t make the rules. And seriously, even if you give him all the attention in the world, he still pouts, sulks, and whines so much before he goes that you think he’s more of a puppy than a big, strong firefighter. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who continues to sulk all the way to the firehouse. He does text you selfies of himself sulking when he arrives. But he perks up immediately and gets right down to work when you reply him with a cute selfie of your own captioned “Fighting!” He’s going to do his best for you. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who starts his routine around the firehouse by checking his uniform, the equipment etc. He also checks his schedule to see who he is working with and what he’s in charge of that day. He narrows his eyes at seungcheol who just shrugs nonchalantly when mingyu realises he’s on cat duty again. Seriously? Cat duty? That’s the fourth time in a row… He begins to suspect jeonghan was on duty. The latter probably switched their schedules because jeonghan refuses to let a cat scratch his perfectly sculpted face. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who sighs and accepts his fate. And he’s soon called out to rescue a little orange cat from the top of a tree at the park. He’s gritting his teeth and trying not to break out into a sweat as he climbs to the top of the ladder. He smiles a little at the cat. The cat just looks at him. Mingyu swears that cat is evil because it begins screeching and hissing at mingyu. Then it just jumps off and lands perfectly on the grass. Now, Mingyu is stuck at the top of the ladder clutching his heart out. To think, the small cat scared the big, strong firefighter. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who needs to be coaxed down the ladder by his fellow firefighter. Dino is just shaking his head. Dino tries to coo at Mingyu. It doesn’t work. Dino tries pspspspspspssing at Mingyu. It also doesn’t work. Dino threatens Mingyu. It doesn’t work. Mingyu just seems to be clutching the ladder harder. Like is this seriously the firefighter of the year? This happens every single time Mingyu needs to be on a ladder in a situation that isn’t a real fire or a training exercise.

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who only comes down the ladder when Dino calls you for the upteenth time. Dino is in disbelief. All you needed to do was say that you missed Mingyu and that you would give him a reward for coming down the ladder. Dino tried everything? Then, Dino’s face scrunches in disgust. EWW. what kind of reward were you talking about? 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who stares at Dino in confusion. Reward? You make great chocolate chip cookies… 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who smacks Dino for being dirty minded, though Mingyu’s face is flushed at the thought of you giving him a different kind of reward. Ahem… anyway moving on…

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who gets excited when you make a trip to the firehouse. He’s showing you around (purposefully keeping you away from Dino), and showing you off to his co-workers. Jeonghan was convinced Mingyu made you up after inhaling too much smoke from a previous fire. Mingyu sticks his tongue out at Jeonghan when you happily introduce yourself to everyone. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who lets you play with the fireman’s pole. He lets you go up and down as many times as you want. Seungcheol just lets Mingyu do what he wants (as an apology for letting Jeonghan switch assignments with Mingyu… i mean, seungcheol can’t say no to jeonghan so this is all he can do to appease Mingyu). 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who suddenly gets called out for a job. It’s a real fire this time. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who kisses you so passionately in front of the others because this is dangerous and he’s trying to reassure you that he’ll be fine. You have to stand aside to let the rest of them get suited up, but Mingyu keeps eye contact with you until you can’t see him in the firetruck anymore. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who manages to complete the job safely. Now, all he wants to do is go home back into your arms. He returns to the firehouse only to see you seated at the entrance, all tensed up and rubbing your hands together nervously. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who throws his equipment to Dino (who doesn’t protest) and rushes into your outstretched arms. He hugs you so so tightly, not wanting to let you go. He hopes you don’t mind that he’s all grubby, dirty, and that he reeks of smoke. You don’t. He should stop worrying. All you cared about was the safety of your lover. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who whisks you up in his strong arms and takes you home once he’s able to clock out. It doesn’t matter how tired he is or how desperately he needs a shower. He’s going to take care of you first. It’s scary for you no matter how many times he’s done this. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who hugs you closer that night, whispering soft words of reassurance and “I love you” into your ear. He cradles you to sleep, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead. He sighs in regret because he worries you, but if you were awake you would smack him for even thinking that way. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who settles down next to you, drifting off to the rhythmic motions of your breathing. He wonders why and how he ended up with someone as perfect and understanding as you. 

🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu whose last thought before he finally falls asleep is “I should put a ring on their finger…” 🔥. Firefighter boyfriend! Mingyu who maybe becomes your hot, sexy, firefighter husband! Mingyu soon?

5, 10, 15…

it never took longer than 20 minutes for you to find your way back to him with your signature pout and that stomp of your foot he adores.

he finds it funny, really. how many times is it going to take for you to understand that nothing you could ever do will throw him off? too many. he’s still counting.

your silent treatment always broke within 5 minutes of him holding you in his arms despite your efforts to stop it as he murmured sweet nothings into your ear, pressing soft kisses to your forehead.

your whining never lasted more than a couple moments after he cups your face in his hands, pressing his lips against yours to shut your little mouth up before he breaks the kiss with a smile. ‘whatever you want, sweetheart. just ask me nicely, okay?’ is murmured against your skin and suddenly, you’ve lost your voice. where did all that fire go?

and your tantrums? well, they never lasted more than 20 minutes.

5, 10, 15…

as if right on cue, he hears your padded footsteps against the floor at the expected time.

‘hi, baby.’ he smiles, turning his phone off to face you.

you scowl in return.

his smile only widens, and so do his arms. ‘c’mere’.

it takes you a couple of seconds before your feet move against the floor once more, making your way towards him reluctantly before you plop yourself onto his lap, trying your hardest not to melt in opposition to his arms wrapped around you.

guess he has to work a little harder today.

‘i missed you.’ his whisper softens your heart, but your body stays tense.

‘i don’t like it when my girl stays away from me.’ the pad of his thumb presses down gently against the pout on your lips.

silence falls upon you two before you finally relax against him, routinely resting your head against the crook of his neck.

‘sorry, james..’ it was quiet, but it still meant a lot to him.

‘that’s okay, baby.’ his grin can’t help but bring a small smile onto your face before he closes the gap between you both, kissing you.

this time, you don’t fight it. you melt immediately against him, eyes fluttering shut as he holds the back of your neck, pressing your lips harder against his own to make sure that this time, you don’t run off.

both of you knew it’s going to happen again; your attitude, your reluctance, and your tantrums. that knowledge doesn’t bother james one bit because after all, he can wait.

"nervous reaction? its alright though, i get to show my cooking skills as well as my social ones- purrfect"

....

boyfriend!yunho who lets you lead through the aisles, but remembers what you mention liking and quietly adds it to the basket. also what your mum mentioned she likes munching on while binge watching soap dramas

boyfriend!yunho pays for everything and boyfriend!yunho who carries the bags without comment, walking close, shoulders brushing yours now and then. good luck trying to carry anything though, hed give you an apple max, seconds later opening the bag again for you to drop the apple in because its more tiring holding an apple than a bag that actually has a handle to be held!

"that makes perfect sense darling, i totally understand your view, that you for being brave and trying out the theory, humanity owes you one"

...

boyfriend!yunho who, tells you to go freshen up while he take out the grocery, then while youre distracted, loosen all the jars incase you wants to use them later. you wouldnt even notices, but hes still make eye contact with your aunt, being caught red handed, he just nods and looks back down, (shy shy shy)

boyfriend!yunho who cooks!

boyfriend!yunho who naturally takes over the kitchen, movements confident but gentle. He asks where things are, listens, adapts. shame on him for expecting you to remember where your mom puts things, or used to, woman changes them as often as the pillowcases.

''sweetheart, where is the turmeric?" "MUM, where is your turmeric" the yelling has him rubbing the bridge of his nose, he tried again "sweetheart... i didnt mean for you to bother her, i wouldve searched if you didnt know w-" "my apologies mr. uno keep on", you mumble scrolling as you chill on the counter, only moving if he needs the wooden spoon you'd happen to be sitting on, legs swinging slightly, yapping about everything and nothing. Stealing small bites. Commenting constantly.

boyfriend!yunho who hums back responses, smiles at you/after finding the turmeric/, keeps cooking like this is his favorite background noise.

boyfriend!yunho who lets you “help” even when you’re clearly not needed.

meanwhile you're just happy that you're getting some peace after that wholesome of the family interview earlier that day, but little did you know that the same warm family were spying on the couple in the kitchen. although they were busy finishing the snacks yunho got them at the same time

...

boyfriend!yunho who serves others first. makes sure everyones plates are filled. filling yours before everyone else

boyfriend!yunho who checks if anyone needs water, offers refills without being asked. well soon you got thirsty, and its normal for you to express it right?

"daddy, im thirsty", dropping your comment and watching as yunho and your father who'd rightfully claim he was in fact your dad reached for the water mug. yunho closes his eyes for a second, just understanding what you were up to, before going back to his polite smile and pouring you that damn water

"yeah because you just had to do something right?" he whispers mentally trying to forget the look of everyone's face after the dishes were washed and everyone separated for a little post-feast pause. you smile while playing with the bottoms of his shirt. "well, either this or i could make up somehting about you being the one who kicks in their sleep, bc that wouldnt be a lie right?"

"no way you did that because that now, it was ages ago"

"this morning", you smirk looking away, you thought you were so smart.

"you think youre being smart?" he leaned down again, a hand against the wall behind you, "or are you bored? you know how to behave now have you forgotten"

"well maybe you should remind m-" "y/n dear can you come help your dad find the remote?"

"opps gottagobyebyedaddy" and there you ran off. good thing you werent gotta sleep over that night. youd eventually come back to his car to get home, your home

⠀ ⠀WOULD YOU MAKE ME YOUR BOSS, PRETTY PLEASE?

✦ you’re always showing cheol reels and “brainrot” (he learned that one from you) slop he couldn’t understand for the life of him. you once said “what the sigma?” and he looked at you like you were speaking in tongues. still, he makes an effort, even if he picks up the lingo wrong half the time. he’ll randomly parrot slang he’d heard you say with no lead-in, just to get a reaction. you cringe more than anything, but it’s worth it since it usually earns a laugh from you— especially when he earnestly tries to learn tiktok dances with you, creaky joints and all.

✦ one father’s day, you wrote him a card that referred to him as your “old man”, signed “with love, your barely-legal baby”. it was just for the fun of it, to piss him off. it worked. he nearly choked while reading it, and your stomach hurt from laughing when he got genuinely irritated at you. cheol swore he’d burn the damn thing, but it’s still tucked into the back of his nightstand drawer. he didn’t have the heart to destroy something you made for him, even if looking at it makes him shiver.

✦ not the biggest fan of when you hang out with the younger members too long, especially when they make you laugh. you’ve never given cheol a reason to doubt you, but his mind’s prone to spiralling over these things. he’s well aware that he’s older— not the exciting, youthful guy you could have. sometimes he gets quiet after you come home from spending time with the group, like he’s trying not to let his insecurity show. but you know him better than that. and you always find a way to remind him he’s the only one you want.

✦ the world’s most prolific cuddlebug. he plays it cool in front of the others, but behind closed doors? you can’t get him off of you. cheol sleeps with an arm wrapped fully around your waist, nose buried in your neck, like he’s scared you’ll disappear if he lets go. it’s even worse when he’s tired or sick— he becomes the clingiest, grumpiest man-sized baby alive. won’t move unless it’s to pull you even closer.

✦ he never lets you open doors, never lets you pull out your own chair. he’s already there before you can even think to, hand on the handle or the backrest before you can blink. you used to tease him for being so chivalrous, but he’d just shrug like it’s second nature, saying “you shouldn’t have to lift a finger when i’m around.”

✦ for someone who tends to lay off his phone, the majority of his storage is his ridiculous amount of photos of you. candids, selfies. silly ones where you’re drooling in your sleep or messily chewing a drumstick. blurry ones you didn’t even know he took. he takes great pride in being your personal photographer; particularly over the fact that alot of your social media posts are pictures he took. cheol once admitted that he scrolls through his photo album during quick breaks at work. “you make everything else there feel boring”, he’d said with a shy smile.

✦ mixed in with the soft ones, though? a stash of very not-safe-for-work pictures and videos. you know exactly what he likes— lingerie that hugs your figure right, a sultry drip in your voice when you say his name. his personal favourites are the videos: he’s a sucker for the ones where you’re on your knees for him, cheeks hollowed out, eyes glossy and pliant. he watches them when you’re not around, desperate to feel close to your warmth with a hand wrapped tight around himself, your name under his breath.

✦ sure, you miss him often. but cheol misses you more. hell of a lot more. has to dip out of rehearsals sometimes when your texts get a little too bold— sending him a risqué photo and he’s suddenly painfully hard, pressed against the inside of his pants with no relief in sight. he’s older, sure. he tells you his stamina isn’t what it used to be. but when you touch him right, look at him with half-lidded eyes and your lower lip between your teeth? he could feel like he just turned twenty again. and he’ll keep going until you’re the one tapping out.

✦ he’s got a bad habit of getting in moods where he’s insecure about his body— especially when you’re surrounded by younger guys with flat stomachs and endless energy. he doesn’t say it outright, but you catch him glancing in the mirror with a critical eye, going out wearing baggy clothes and layered outfits. you always tell him how sexy he looks anyways. once, he wore a black compression top to the gym; about to throw a sweatshirt over it when you practically launched yourself at him. the rest of his clothes didn’t stay on for much longer after that… but he’s been wearing them more ever since.

✦ it doesn’t matter if you’re completely, 100% in the wrong— if you yelled at him, accused him, even lied— the second your voice cracks, eyes shining with tears, cheol folds. his anger evaporates, replaced by panic and guilt. can’t even remember what you were arguing about. he cups your face with both hands, voice soft and broken: “hey, no, baby. please don’t cry.” you could get cheol to do just about anything for you, if just to see you smile again.

✦ he’s in that stage of his life where marriage and family are very real potential, not just dreams saved for later. he thinks about what it would look like: how it’d feel waking up next to you every morning, little kids running around with your face. but he’d never pressure you. would never ask more of you than you’re ready to give. “don’t feel like you have to do anything,” he says one night, thumb stroking your cheek. “long as i get to keep loving you. that’s enough.” and you’d always be his number one girl anyways.
