what if i turn settle down into a written fic with soooome smau parts instead

okay i am officially on that grind...🍚🍚🍚

brother's best friend!haechan who has always been a little too familiar, a little too comfortable in your space, like he belongs there. the kind of presence that lingers even when he's not around, an echo in the empty corners of a room.

brother's best friend!haechan who often stares too long when you're talking, his gaze tracing the shape of your words, catching onto the stray strand of hair that falls across your face. he tucks it behind your ear without thinking, only realising what he's done when his fingers graze your cheek a second too long.

brother's best friend!haechan who drapes his jacket over your shoulders on a cold night, despite only wearing a t-shirt himself. he grins when you scold him, simply shrugging off your protests while pinching your cheeks and calling you cute, his laughter light and teasing. when you try to give it back, he simply steps away, hands shoved into his jeans pockets, pretending he doesn't hear you, acting like he would rather freeze than see you shiver.

brother's best friend!haechan who shows up to all your dance recitals, clapping and cheering the loudest even before the performance begins, even when your brother doesn't attend. as if your success is his to celebrate, as if your stage is his favourite place to be.

brother's best friend!haechan who waits for you after class to head home together, leaning casually against the wall, hands in his pockets, but eyes constantly searching for you. his fingers brush against yours as he wordlessly slips your bag off your shoulder and onto his own, before lacing his fingers through yours absentmindedly. when the wind bites too hard on your way home, he tucks your joined hands into the warmth of his coat pocket. an easy habit, and an unspoken claim.

brother's best friend!haechan who never misses a chance to get your attention. who laughs a little too loud just to make you look at him, who teases you until you're rolling your eyes, fighting back a smile you don't want to give him. who is always there, always near, like a shadow that warms instead of chills.

brother's best friend!haechan who turns even more insufferable when your brother is around. not distant, no, he clings to you even more, just to get under both your skins. he throws an arm around your shoulder, tugging you close, knowing it'll earn a glare from your brother and an exasperated sigh from you. but there's something about the way he laughs when you both shove him away, something about the way his eyes sparkle when he looks at you that makes you pause. makes you wonder.

brother's best friend!haechan who pats your head when you're stressed out, his hand lingering a second longer than it should. who smooths down your hair after with a gentleness that doesn't match his occasional sharp tongue. who watches you too closely, notices too much, cares too deeply, even when he pretends not to.

brother's best friend!haechan who makes it impossible to tell if this is just how he is, or if there's something more beneath it all. if the affection woven into every touch, every glance, is meant for you in the way you wish it was.

brother's best friend!haechan who leaves you so unsure that you almost don't go through with it. but you still try, try to confess, to lay it all bare. only to realise, in the moment, that the chocolate you brought for him had melted into a mess inside your pocket, staining your fingers, and your resolve. you can only sigh, watching the way his wide, brown eyes blink up at you, unreadable. before letting it go, deciding that fate just wasn't in your favour that day.

brother's best friend!haechan who stays behind as you walk off. who watches, grinning to himself because he knew exactly what you were trying to do. who catches up to you with a laugh, slipping your hand back into the warmth of his pocket as if to say, try again another day.
