TAG: the numerous times seungkwan asks hansol who fits the era the best and the one time he gives him the answer he wants to hear.
because i saw a tweet compiling kwan just looking at the camera after holding vern hostage and making him answer his stupid little question
•••
Seungkwan's not shy to ask for attention when he wants it. Almost every first or second interview that Vernon does, he never fails to interrupt and ask his own questions.
"Who fits this song the best?"
And he'd wait for Vernon's slow response while staring knowingly into the camera, a smile on his face. But it's all too comedic when Vernon would inevitably say "Me" or someone else and Seungkwan's smile would drop as he stared him down ready to fake fight him.
Of course, Vernon would laugh merrily and stop Seungkwan's weak punches by hugging him around the back.
Something feels different today. After a camera test, Vernon gets called for an interview and Seungkwan knows it's his chance yet again. The stylist on him asks what he's smiling about, and that it's affecting the touch-ups. He apologises, "The usual; Noona, can you hurry? I'm going to mess with Hansol."
"Vernonie~" Seungkwan bounds toward where Vernon is. He sees the big camera swing to capture him in frame. He meets eyes with Vernon for a split second. Vernon smiles. Seungkwan slings his arm around the other and rests his chin on his shoulder.
He takes a question from the directors and then casually sneaks in his own.
"Who fits this song the best?"
Seungkwan watches through his phone screen as Hansol's answer blasts through his speakers:
"You."
He almost drops his phone.
They've come back from first week of promotions and their video has just come out on Inside Seventeen. Seungkwan's just as shocked as he was that day.
He speeds over to Hansol's room and throws the door open. That's when he hears "Kwan?" but also the sound of their video from Hansol's phone.
"You." Repeats the final blow.
"How did you know?" Seungkwan breathes, closing the door with pink on his cheeks. He walks over to Hansol on his bed and is welcomed with a warm smile and a hug. "Who else would bust my door open at 9pm?" Seungkwan chuckles, embarrassingly.
"You we're watching InSe?" Hansol nods, "Yeah. I seemed to have really caught you off-guard, hm?" Seungkwan has adjusted his position in Hansol's embrace and he feels himself get squeezed a little tighter when Hansol hummed.
Seungkwan whines, "Of course! You always say someone that isn't me. And then you suddenly do this..." Hansol gasps and chuckles, brushing Seungkwan's bangs to the side. "You're not upset, are you?"
Hansol can tell he is, no matter how he tries to say no. The pout is evident in his tone, not just physically.
He faintly traces lines over Seungkwan's exposed skin where he hugs him close, "You're always the best to me. No matter what era, no matter where or when. Always."
Seungkwan feels like crying.
"I know you work hard, Boo. And I love you for being so light to others while you carry heavy burdens on your own. But you don't have to, okay?" Seungkwan nods.
"I know you're needy for validation and attention, Kwan-ah. And I know you're not afraid to come to me to get it," Hansol laughs. Seungkwan feels his pooling tears magically disappear somewhere. "I'm here to tell you that you don't have to ask for it. I'll give them to you every hour of the day, for as long as you want me to." Hansol smiles and turns Seungkwan's face to look into his blurry eyes. He reaches to swipe at Seungkwan's cheeks.
Ah, so that's where those tears went.
With a lip wobble and through his blurry vision, Seungkwan collapses into Hansol, "I love you, Nonie-!" And he sobs into his shirt while Hansol holds him close, holds him tight, and whispers how much he does love him- in more ways that one.
Their song is stuck in his head from the video, so he sings their key line softly to comfort Seungkwan.
"I wanna rock with you,"
