You wore a big silly suit, he wondered why, was that what your people wore?

Communication obviously didn't work, and both your mission commander and their leader acted very hostile towards each other, with movements and makeshift languages to try to understand each other as best as possible, however, as soon as your eyes met, your gun automatically lowered.

Something about that... man? It enticed you. Despite his blue skin with light blue spots, despite the gill-looking things on his neck, despite having freakishly black big eyes (and a second, small pair of eyes under those), he still looked beautiful.

"If he was a human he would be the prettiest man I had ever seen." You thought.

His nose had a tall bridge and was slightly upturned, his lips were beautifully shaped, and his hair fell in a way that tried to hide a particularly darker spot beside his eye.

You unexpectedly waved at him. The alien cocked his head, as if asking 'what is that? what does it mean?'. He took a look at his hand, and then slowly mimicked your actions, not quite understanding them.

His hands had webbing between his fingers. Overall his appearance was close to one of a spider, mixed with a sea creature.

While your commander and their leader participated in a rather intense stare-off, you set your gun down and approached the man slowly. Your hands were up in the air and moved as if he was a scaredy stray cat you were trying to pet.

His eyes widened and his gills moved up. You could tell he was nervous, you would be too if aliens visited your world.

Once you got closer to him, you had no plan. You just wanted to look at him closer, at the horrifyingly beautiful 'man'.

"Y/N, what the fuck is wrong with you! Back up! Pick up your weapon!" The mission commander yelled.

You paid him no mind, but the man in front of you seemed to be aware that your intentions and your commander's were not the same.

He raised the palm of his hand and held it beside his head. You eyed him for a second and mimicked him, just like he had done with waving before.

Slowly, he approached his hands to yours. His eyes widened and looked into yours. The alien tilted his head, as if saying 'it's okay, I won't hurt you.'.

Your hands met and he closed his eyes and slowly leaned his forehead against yours. You closed your eyes as well, completely trusting this... thing, you had just met. Suddenly he started making a noise. It reminded you of a cat purring...

He stood back straight and flashed a smile.

"Y/N." You said as you put your hands to your chest, signaling to yourself, hoping he'd understand.

He mimicked what you did and said "Yeosang."

"Yeosang? That's... That's an Earth name."

His gills perked at the name 'Earth'. He nodded vigorously and grabbed your wrist. 'Yeosang' started running while he held you.

"Hey!" One of your team peers yelled and pointed her gun at the alien.

"Don't shoot! I'll be back!" You asured.

Only then did you notice his tail. It reminded you of a crocodile's tail.

After a minute or so you arrived a tall building. The architecture was wonky and colourful, almost as if a kid had taken their crayons and coloured a house from a Tim Burton movie.

You entered the building and immediately (and unsurprisingly) felt observed. Several pairs of eyes watched you, but you were too busy looking at all the Earth things they had collected.

They had a lot of trash. They had pieces of satellites, rockets, newspapers, a broom... A bunch of random shit that they displayed on the walls. He grabbed your wrist and took you to a wall that had a bunch of names. Some of them were people names, some of them were building names. You guessed they found those and tried to figure out which were names to give their children 'Earth' names. Almost like an American giving their child a French or Italian name to make it sound fancier than it is.

The man motioned to the artifacts in the room.

"Earth!" He exclaimed.

"Yes! These are from Earth!" You said, happy you made a progress in your exchange.

He then pointed at you and cocked his head.

"Earth?" Yeosang asked.

You nodded, confirming that you were from Earth.

Yeosang grabbed your wrist again and took you up the stairs. Another alien stopped Yeosang but he pointed at you and said something that you obviously didn't understand.

At that point, you were scared you were going to get opened and tested, but at least you wouldn't have a boring death.

Yeosang knocked on a big, green door and an alien that looked much like Yeosang opened it. As soon as his eyes landed on you, he widened them and started walking around you and inspecting your body. The alien nearly tripped on Yeosang's tail several times.

When he was done, the alien beside you pointed at you and said 'Earth'.

"Ah yes, it wasn't hard to tell. You are a simple species."

Your brain fumbled and twisted, it took you a while to understand what he said and to assimilate that it was, in fact, English, as you didn't expect to understand anything they said.

"Huh?" That was the only thing you managed to say.

"I'm what Earthers call a 'scientist'. I specialize in studies of the Earth. Our planet is located in a place of the galaxy where many things get pulled into our atmosphere so we've dedicated ourselves to studying every planet. I have to admit I didn't actually think the Earthers themselves would be pulled in."

"We call ourselves humans." You informed.

The man ran inside and grabbed a paper-looking material and a stick dipped in ink.

"Could you write that down, please?"

You smiled and wrote 'Earthers -> humans' on his little book. He bowed and said thank you. You didn't have the heart to tell him that bowing wasn't common practice in all of the Earth, but you found it cute that he was trying his best.

Yeosang told him something, which by the looks of it seemed a lot like 'we're about to have an inter-galactic war out there so maybe go make peace or whatever' by the way the scientist headed down the stairs.

However before he could leave, Yeosang grabbed his arm and told him something you obviously couldn't understand. The man chuckled and looked at you.

"Yeosang had taken a liking to you. He says you're as beautiful as the moons of our planet."

Yeosang nodded with a smile. You placed your hand up, like he had done before, and, understanding what you meant to do, Yeosang placed his hand on yours and leaned his forehead in.

“Hyung, hi, is everything ok?” he replied sheepishly, eyes scanning the room for any inquisitive—or worse: irritated—faces looking at him accusatively. He found only one, and after nodding an apology, the lady indignantly turned away. She scoffed, but it allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. 

“Oh, yes, everything is just fine. Nothing out of the normal.”

“Hyung, how do you even...” he searched for the right words, “cope...? W-with all of that?” He was so glad he’d moved out.

“What, the members?” There was a chuckle, interrupted by another yell. It sounded like San. God alone knows over what. “To be honest, I have no idea.”

Confused, but unsurprised, Yeosang opted to change the subject. “Seonghwa-hyung, can I help you at all?”

“Ah, yes, Hongjoong-ah wanted to know what Y/N likes. For her Christmas present.”

“Oh, has he not bought one yet? I thought he said he had?” he asked, looking back to the rabbits hopping around their little arena. He felt guilty for even asking that. It wasn’t like he’d bought her one yet either, and he was her boyfriend. Did that make him a bad partner?

“Truth is, none of us have. He just wanted to know so we could organise a group-present, something big perhaps,” Seonghwa sighed, “I told him it was a bad idea, that he’ll never get everyone to agree, not with an entire Yunho and San—and between you and me, a whole Hongjoong—in the house, but he wouldn’t listen. Anyway, maybe a few ideas would help?”

“Oh, yes of course, well, my girlfriend, she is quite—”

At that moment, there was a knock from the outside of the nearby window. His head flicked up, hoping it was the person he wanted to see.

As his eyes met yours, he immediately stood up, struggling to contain his happiness.

“Sorry, hyung, she’s right outside right now, so I’ve got to go, talk later!”

He heard Seonghwa begin to protest calmly in the way he always did when someone was inevitably about to do something he didn’t approve of, like chase a drone or play The Floor is Lava, but it did nothing, much like always, since Yeosang ended the call and dropped his phone back in his pocket without a second thought.

He didn’t hesitate, heading out of the door without a single glance over his shoulder, running over and very nearly knocking heads with you by how close he was when he came to a stop.

“Hey sweetheart,” you greeted, shifting your cacophony of shopping bags further up your arm.

He threw his hands into yours, bringing your fingers to his lips to shower them with kisses, as his beautiful eyes stared into yours relentlessly. “Hi,” he whispered sweetly.

“Have you got everything you need?” you asked with a giggle, trying to retain his gaze, but giving in to let your eyes drop to your hands.  You prayed that his answer would be a yes, you just wanted to go home and hide from the world with him under a blanket.

He hummed in thought, before nodding. “I think so.”

“Yay!” you cheered quietly, placing a kiss on his hand before pulling him by it, leading him towards the train station. Your eyes passed the window of cute animals, getting caught on the sight of a small girl holding a puppy above her head as if it was Simba.  You couldn’t help but smile, but it also sparked a thought in your own head. 

Yeosang had just come from there.

Was he buying you a...?

You couldn’t stop yourself from prying. You were an adult! You were allowed to avoid surprises now and ask about your presents, right? “Hey,” you swung his hand at your side to get his attention (as if you didn’t already have it—let’s face it he’d been captured by your face again so he was already staring right at you), “why were you in a pet store?”

He paused, unsure of an answer himself. “Uh...”

“Last time I checked, we don’t have a pet...” You added ‘yet’ in your head.

“No, we do not,” he agreed.

“Were you buying one? For someone?” you added quickly.

He sighed, shaking his head. “No, I was just waiting for you, and didn’t know where to go so I went in there. It was warm. And the animals are kind of cute.”

“Oh, I see...!”

You let your head fall, trying to hide your disappointment.

Your optimistic side wanted to believe that that’s what someone who was buying you a pet would say. But you could hear the genuine undertones in his voice.

Oh well, the present he would give you would surely be amazing anyway.

He watched your face fall and instantly regretted his words, even though he wasn’t sure what it was that he’d said that had hurt you, or if it was what he said at all.

What had he done?

Back home, and sat up the dining table, surrounded by a multitude of slates of red and silver and gold, shimmering in the already-dimming sunlight, Yeosang was pouting.

He wouldn’t call himself a perfectionist, but he liked things to be well done and neat. And his wrapping, in his eyes, was not going well.

The thing was, it wasn’t half-bad at all, but he’d looked at your wrapping one too many times, with your precision and calligraphic handwriting, and couldn’t look at his slightly rustically wrapped presents with the same appreciative eye.

You’d noticed his puffed out cheeks and smiled reassuringly. “Sweetheart, your wrapping is fine! Don’t worry about it.”

“Yeah, but...”

“No buts!” you asserted. “You aren’t comparing your wrapping to mine, right?”

He shrugged, ears bleary. “I know I shouldn’t, I just... wish I could do what you do.”

“Honey,” you sighed pleadingly, hand reaching across the table to hold his, “I run a craft business that you don’t have time to help out in, it’s no surprise that your wrapping lacks the professional finesse,” you explained, hastily continuing, “but that doesn’t mean it’s bad! It means yours looks like you meant it, and took some time to do it. Mine just looks like I mixed up my friends with my clients!” You laughed, picking at one of the corners of the jewellery box you’d finished covering. “I should really make mine look more like yours, if I want to look genuine.”

He exhaled in a chuckle. “Sure, I guess.”

Not convinced, you continued, “Also, I wish that I could do the things you do—sing, dance, model, act, stare into people’s souls and make them spill everything they know because your eyes are so deep... but how useful would sharing the same skill set be?”

You’d made a good point, one of which he couldn’t disagree with. 

“Please don’t compare yourself to others, Yeosangie,” you pleaded softly, “you’re of a completely different level to everyone else—”

He tried to interject but you shushed him, pressing a finger to his parted lips.

“—and so comparing you to another would be like comparing a star to a campfire. Gosh, you’re so damn beautiful, Yeosang, as an entire being. And I know you can’t see it but I wish you could, I’d do anything for you to see yourself through those ethereal eyes of yours as you see everyone else.”

Your words had moved him, and he felt his heart sink and rise over and over, as if caught in the crests of a turbulent sea. He blinked, speechless and taking a deep breath, worked up the courage to look down at his handiwork.

Perhaps it wasn’t so bad after all.

“You ready to carry on?” you enquired.

Your answer was a smile, and the request for the roll of sellotape. 

Cheering internally, you grinned back, passing him the tape and booping him on the nose as he leant across the table to meet you halfway.

“Yah, that’s my little bunny,” you cooed, deliberately being corny just to elicit a reaction.

And his grimace was exactly what you were after, sending you into a fit of giggles. “Hey, I’m not that bad!” you resisted, words rushed as you struggled to keep another burst of laughter at bay. 

It was that moment though that sparked his brain into gear, bequeathing him with the perfect idea for your Christmas gift.

How had he not thought of this before?

Admittedly it would be a little bit expensive, yes, but with some help from the guys still stuck at the dorm sharing their rooms the losers hehe it could quite easily become a reality.

And it would also help them out in the predicament in trying to work out what to get his girlfriend for Christmas.  Two birds, one stone. 

Genius Kang Yeosang.

“Yeosangie?”  You had your head tilted to match his own, which he’d knocked to the side subconsciously as he thought.

“Yes, love?”

“You ok there? You... really zoned out then.”

“Ah,” he nodded vigorously, “yes! Everything is... perfect! Let’s get these presents wrapped.”

It only occurred to him then, the question of how he was supposed to be able to wrap up a rabbit hutch.

AN: Welp this turned out longer than expected again. Yeosang is working his way up my bias list—slowly, gradually, but up nonetheless—and it’s slightly scary.
