Waiting For Us/ Minchan

┌─･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦∘｡ﾟ. ─┐

It was the night before Chan's birthday and he was laying in bed with Minho next to him. His room was dimly lit by fairy lights that hung over his headboard as he and Minho were simply talking, waiting for midnight to come, waiting for Chan's tattoo to appear.

"When do I get to open my present?" Chan questioned, glancing at the box still sitting on the edge of his bed.

"After I get to see your tattoo," Minho replied, causing Chan to frown.

"That's unfair."

"We have less than an hour. It will hopefully go by fast. "

"Do you still think the tattoo is gonna be a cat?" Chan questioned since Minho had always claimed that it was going to be up until he was about 12 when he seemed to have forgotten about it.

"It could be."

And he was right, some soulmate tattoos did have a special meaning, or at least the people who had them made them have a special meaning. But there were other times in which they were just completely random so Minho's assumption of it being a cat wasn't too extreme.

"I guess so."

"Imagine if we have matching cat soulmate tattoos." Minho sighed as he grabbed Chan's hand and looked at his wrist. "That would be amazing."

"This is the first time I've heard you refer to us as soulmates in forever," Chan said quietly, trying not to smile at how cute Minho was being.

"Well- I guess I'm just excited." He said as he turned to face Chan. "Also kinda nervous but I'm trying to ignore that part."

"Why are you nervous?" Chan questioned, moving one of his legs to that it was laying across Minho's as he brushed some of his hair out of his face.

"I know I'm not getting mine for a little while and- what if you meet someone with the same tattoo as you before then?"

"Then I will no longer believe in soulmates."

"Chan-"

"I know you're my soulmate and I've been waiting for our tattoos to show up for almost our entire lives. I will continue waiting for however long I need to but there's no chance I would want to be with anyone else." He reassured, pulling Minho's hand closer and kissing the back of it gently.

"What do you think it's gonna be?" Minho asked, feeling the need to change the conversation topic.

"I still think that maybe it will be a flower, but for your sake, I'm hoping it's a cat."

They continued talking about random things, Minho continued checking the time on his phone every 2 seconds until it was finally 11:59 and he quickly sat up and placed Chan's wrist onto his knee as he stared at it, waiting for something to appear.

"I don't think it's gonna suddenly show up exactly at midnight Min," Chan laughed as he sat up and looked at his wrist as well though he mainly kept his eyes on Minho who was practically holding his breath.

"Chan! Look!" He yelled as faint grey lines began to appear and darkened as they both carefully watched.

"An...hourglass?" Chan questioned as he looked at the small tattoo on his wrist.

"Woah, it's so pretty," Minho mused as he ran his thumb over the tattoo gently.

"I wonder if our has some deep meaning," Chan thought aloud as he watched Minho with a smile on his face. He seemed so amazed by it, it was adorable.

"I mean- you have been saying stuff like "I'll wait for us" since we were really young," Minho pointed out, "I think maybe it might symbolize that."

"Maybe," Chan said, fighting the urge to kiss Minho right there and then since the younger was way closer to Chan than he realized due to how distracted he currently was. "I bet yours will be even prettier."

"Mine is going to be the exact same thing idiot."

"Still gonna be prettier...Can I please open your present now?"

Minho didn't reply for a few seconds as he was still admiring the soulmate tattoo which he quickly kissed before moving to grab Chan's gift.

"What was that for?" Chan asked, looking at his wrist which he couldn't believe Minho had just kissed.

"Because it's pretty," Minho explained as if it were nothing before he placed the box onto Chan's lap.

Chan tried to brush it off despite the fact that his ears were obviously a bright shade of red. Regardless, he opened the box and saw a book which he opened and immediately smiled when he saw pictures of himself and Minho.

There were cute little notes written beside some of them, explaining what they were doing or certain thoughts Minho remembered having at the moment.

Minho moved closer and leaned his head into Chan's shoulder as he flipped through the pages.

Chan laughed at some of Minho's small notes while others made him want to cry as he leaned his head to lay against Minho's.

"Do you like it?" Minho asked once he got to the last page as he moved away and looked up at Chan with hopeful eyes.

"I could kiss you right now," Chan stated, causing Minho's face to flush red.

"Oh- well- umm-"

"I'm not going to!" Chan quickly added, shaking his head a bit in hopes to shake away his thoughts, "What I meant to say is that I love it."

Minho smiled a bit as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against the side of Chan's face for a few seconds.

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you, Min. I can't wait for yours to come now," he said, as he moved Minho's wrist next to his, "it's gonna be so pretty."

"I can't wait either," Minho said, cuddling even closer to Chan, never wanting to let him go.
