“I want you.”

Three words, so simple and yet so loaded with meaning, leave your mouth. You hadn’t really planned this, per se, but you have thought about them for a long time, and you’ve thought carefully about it. And every time you do, you find yourself coming to the same conclusion.

I want you, Jongho.

The two of you have been dating for a long time, been friends for longer. Ever since you were children, Jongho has always made it his mission to protect you, to hold you close, to love you. And while the way he loves you has changed as the two of you progressed from close friends to lovers, the desire to protect you and keep you safe hasn’t changed in the least - even if it means protecting you from his own desires.

That’s right. In all your years of knowing him, dating him, the closest thing he’s done is kissing you on the lips. A shy, gentle, chaste brush of his mouth on yours before he’s pulling away, apologizing profusely for having been unable to resist the sweet temptation of your lips stained with baby pink lipstick. Jongho is sweet, considerate, a little awkward and new when it comes to love, but still, you feel like you should have done something more by now.

Jongho’s no stranger to having desires, you know that. Before you’d started dating, you’d been over in his room once for game night and had accidentally knocked over a box of unopenables under his bed while rummaging for the consoles. Horrified, your best friend had yanked the box away from you but it’d been too late, you’d already seen the contents of it.

It’d been there and then that you’d realised that Jongho, too, was a man.

You’re too late to reach him.

By the time your footsteps come thundering up the gangplank of the Treasure, wood creaking beneath your boots, Mingi comes to greet you midway, face drawn with concern and barely veiled fury.

“Where is he?” Your captain asks urgently, immediately, and you feel the pit in your stomach sinking more than it already has. San has had his hand on your arm the entire time, a reassuring presence but unwilling to divulge any information to you about that mysterious white ship.

White ship… you think, eyes glancing over over the hull, following the harbor. What meets your gaze is an unassuming, slender ship a few docks down, hull painted a stark, bone white, the same colour of ashes long burnt out, cold and dead.

“He’s in the sickbay.” Mingi runs a hand through his hair, eyes hard and distressed. He makes a soft, helpless noise, turns to your captain. “Captain, I really didn’t know this was going to happen, I-”

“There was nothing you could do, you couldn’t have predicted it.” Hongjoong says with a sigh, his fingers tracing the stitching along his eye patch. Next to you, San’s hand falls from your arm, chewing on his bottom lip nervously as he glances at the door to the sickbay. “How is he?”

⤷ “freshman year of university could be easily comparable to well, fresh fish in new waters. luckily for you, you’re surrounded by people who you can trust and will help you enjoy the experience. unluckily for you though, is that college seems to be more cliché than you expected and that perhaps not everyone is as trust worthy as you believed.

the best time of your lives turns into the time you all need to know where your hearts truly lie.”
