Ateez headcannons: Them seeing you in a saree:
[[First off, saree is an Indian long clothe, may it be cotton, silk, linen. Its draped around the waist as a full length skirt first and then the rest goes over your shoulder to cover your torso. Really, it depends on the way you drape and layer the long clothe around you, that gives a particular shape :)) ]]
((That!!! And beyond just one way, there are multiple ways you can drape a saree around your waist, depends, really :D))
It was surreal, when he thought his love wouldn't get any more gorgeous, she always found a way to surprise him. Really, in his eyes you could wear a plain t-shirt and shorts, he would shoot you the biggest heart eyes. Now, though seeing you in front of his own mirror, setting your hair was a usual sight,but you in a saree.
Holy mother of silky linen sheets.
Absolutely regal. Blue silk hugged your waist, flowing freely to your toes. And your back was on a full on display. The flowy fabric moved everytime you did, and he couldn't help but admire it all.
"Honey, could you help me a little?" She voiced out, glancing at him through the mirror. He moved, finally snapping out of the trance.
His eyes finally fell on what was in your hands. A straightener?
"I need to iron the pleats, help me? Please?" She pouted. "The pleats need to be perfect, apsara told me so."
He kneeled, taking the first pleat in between the heating pads and started straightening it. "Like this?" "Yes! All the pleats, please."
Finally, when he's done, he stands up putting the straightener away on the table.
"You look absolutely gorgeous, my love. Why don't you wear sarees often? I'll help you with wearing them. " she giggled, hearing him and turned saying," I'm not even done, sweetheart. And honestly, sarees aren't really my thing. I just like to dress up sometimes when meeting apsara. "
He pouts, "If you can wear a saree for your best friend, why can't you wear one for me?"
"Oh honey, I surely will . Even more if you get flustered like this everytime ".
Hongjoong and you both had the same eye when it came to fashion. He would share his and you would share yours. Months into dating, he remembered you mentioning sarees in particular. You loved sarees, but told him you never had the time to really get ready to the fullest. Kurtas were a regular for you and so were shirts and trousers.
One of your close friends, sejal was having her reception party. Today was the day, you both would get ready together at yours for the first time, and you promised him you would wear a saree.
Putting on the blouse and body skirt, you start to wrap the yellow sari around your waist and put the rest into pleats, slowly. Hongjoong, who was showering till now finally comes out, straight making a bee line towards you.
Wrapping hands around your smaller form, he stops your pleating with a giggle.
"Maybe you should wear a saree often, darling" he whispered into your ears.
"Joong, behave. Let me pleat this first please". All she could do was pout when he did not move. "Baby??"
Humming, he removes his hands off your form and starts getting ready himself. As he's putting his suit on and is about to put on makeup, he sees you struggling with a safety pin on the shoulder of your blouse.
"Want some help? You only need to pin it in place right, love?" But as he shifted even closer, he finally saw the back of your blouse, breath hitching as he saw the multiple strings one after the other, and only one of them tied. Closing off and sealing his thoughts shut, he ties the rest of the strings with trembling hands.
Her breath caught, but she stayed silent as he was still focused on the strings. When he's finally done, he pauses, laying his palm flat on your upper back.
"You look so beautiful, it makes me want to kiss you senseless. Backless? Really, love?"
Ears reddening, she only squealed when she felt him pull her closer. Now, lips tracing the line of her neck hongjoong couldn't help but smirk.
"Shoulder, joong. Please-"
His lips now reached the lower part of her neck, placing a kiss there.
Huffing, he takes a pin off the table nearby and comes close, clasping the clothe and pinning it onto your blouse.
"You wearing a saree and me behaving don't go well together, love".
Yunho never saw you in traditional. Both of you talked about it many times. You would joke of him fainting if you did wear anything close to traditional.
Yunho thought you were kidding.
Until he actually saw you. You were standing only a few feet away, putting on a jhumka on your left ear and your hair on the right, let loose.
Once you're done, you turn to him with hands on hips and wink at him. All till now, he was staring but now? The full picture? He couldn't say a single word. He was all tongue till now, teasing and giggling like a toddler.
You step closer, and raise an eyebrow at him.
"Divine. Like nothing can cut through you and mirrors, rivers and lakes you look into owe you rent for your beauty. Absolutely breathtaking. I could go on for hours".
Your smirk drops a little, but he catches it and grins widely.
He comes closer, meeting lips with you, and sighs pretending to faint.
"Yuyu~ stop it, please. We're going nowhere with you being like this,lord".
All he did was giggle, and hug you close.
"Blue looks marvelous on you ".
He knew you were pretty. Your soft hair, your small shy smile, your cute little blush all of you, it drove him insane. Whenever you wore a saree, it would be heaven on earth for him. While you wore sarees not necessarily rarely, it was still once in a while whenever you felt like it.
Before, he always saw you in simple, plain sarees with blouses that were half sleeve and you would always say" simple sarees are cute, I like them. The fancy ones are harder to wear and muster up courage for".
Now, he was waiting on the living room couch and calming down his own heart.
Sure, it wasn't anything new. It's you in a saree!! That not so rare, it's fine. It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
All the times you did, he would have the time of his life. Hugging your bare waist, laying palm on the back of blouse. It may not seem like much, but you skin seemed like would burn through his hand, make him sweat.
Now, you were getting ready in there. Wearing a fancy saree, with more accessories than usual, extra careful makeup. It almost made him sob, when you said you want to try out something new, for your confidence.
He assured you, that you would be fine. Now he's not too sure whether he's fine.
You finally step out, jhumkas dangling and a necklace resting on you. Your eyeshadow matched your saree, and you even had Grey lenses on.
Yeosand forgot how to breathe, for a while.
"Holy fuck, darling.. look at you "
Shamelessly eyeing you up and down he only smirked when you looked away.
"You look like a goddess, and I am nothing but a mere mortal. Fucking hell. You should wear sarees like this often!!"
should I make a maknae line one? let me know
