[ c - soonhoon ] Dual Wielding Bubble Guns

TAG: soonyoung buys a bubble gun. jihoon isn't exactly the most excited.

inspired by this one post i found on instagram of those machine gun lookin bubble guns that literally stream a rainfall of bubbles omfg & also how jihoon seems to react when he gets his baby hands on a bubble gun :0

•••

after overtime back at the company building, all jihoon wanted to do was to go back to his probably already sleeping members and drown in their present silence. but when he opened the door, it seemed like someone had something else in their mind.

a random bubble floated towards jihoon at the shoe area and he heard a faint mechanic sound coming to a stop. he zeroed in on the reflective bubble and watched the film pop. he stared dejected at the spot where it made contact with the wall. then he heard a soft giggle.

kwon soonyoung. because of course it is.

walking further in, jihoon saw soonyoung blocking off the corridor. he had two bugglegum pink bubble guns attached to his hands and the biggest, most satisfied grin on his face. jihoon stared at him, completely soulless and exhausted in the face of a brilliant sunshine.

"what in the fuck are you doing, soonyoung?" jihoon asked tiredly, shaking his head. soonyoung smiled with even more dazzle.

"bubble gun."

"yes i know-" jihoon sighed, "go to bed."

soonyoung moved and jihoon carefully watched as he dipped the fronts of the barrels. making sure the solution didn't drop on the floor, soonyoung waited for most of it to drop back into their holders before aiming both a little off jihoon's center.

"do not-"

soonyoung lightly pressed one of the triggers and a small stream of bubbles flew out at jihoon. taken by surprise, jihoon stuttered backwards.

"soonyoung... oh my god, don't do this now. you know how i get with these damn machines."

soonyoung, very proud with his purchase, hummed in faux interest. "i don't, actually."

he aimed at jihoon, "have fun!"

soonyoung fired in small bursts, but they were enough to get jihoon off balance with just how fast the bubbles came out. the living room lights bouncing off the surface of the bubbles covered jihoon's vision with green and pink.

luckily, a wall was there to catch him as his vision filled with a mess of bubbles. he felt extremely disorientated but soonyoung was laughing, and he didn't know why.

at least the bubbles had stopped.

jihoon caught his breath and momentarily closed his eyes. soonyoung's laughter was dying down and jihoon had the wind in him to ask what he was laughing so hard at.

"this must be my best purchase yet," soonyoung started, carefully pouring the solution back into the bottles over the kitchen sink. jihoon righted himself and observed the shinier-than-usual floor. someone was going to get real upset.

soonyoung returned, "and your face was too cute, ji." he smiled, going off to find a cloth to wipe at the floor. mops were overrated anyway, why get a bucket when you can use a cloth? the household will never understand.

"huh? cute?" jihoon didn't understand what was so cute about his disorientation. soonyoung heard as he returned and nodded, "mhm! you looked like this," he imitated the face jihoon was very sure he did not make and laughed to himself. "so cute. your eyes were so big and it was like you were tracking every single bubble coming at you. like a cat!"

he giggled, "so cute."

jihoon felt his face heat up. he gulped, "uh- i'll have you know i wasn't exactly having the time of my life back there." he mumbled.

"i was!" and soonyoung disappeared to wash off the cloth. jihoon rubbed his temples and exhaled deeply.

"anyway it looked very cute, so don't be shy about it," soonyoung grinned, further cleaning up. jihoon felt a bit useless just standing there and talking to him but soonyoung was almost done by the time he had realised so there was really no point.

jihoon twitched at soonyoung calling him cute yet again. it was like an ongoing inside joke with himself and jihoon didn't know why he kept bringing it up and then giggling to himself. "okay, you've had your fun and took it out on me. i'm tired and disorientated. can we sleep now?"

soonyoung pouted, "you're so grumpy when you OT. fine, go sleep then. no 'goodnight' for shooing soonyoungie away!" then he turned with the pout stuck on his face with a comical "hmph!" and disappeared into his room.

jihoon was frozen in shock with whatever the fuck just happened in front of him. "this guy... he's crazy." he shook his head and chuckled, rushing in after soonyoung.
