Royal Pain-Minsung AU

Part 18

A week had passed and they were all back in school. Minho and Jisung never talked about what happened, or almost happened on New Years Eve. Instead they both decided on their own to just pretend like they didn't remember a thing. The day of the Prince of Brightstone election was finally upon them. Though he had waited and worried about this day all year, now that it was here he found himself unable to think of the election at all. Instead he couldn't stop thinking about New Years, his and Minhos conversation on the hike before winter break and what Jun had said to him before that. Everyone was in the cafeteria to hear the results and Jisung was surrounded by Hyunjin and the entire Prince Jisung fan club whom were all on the edge of their seats, staring at the announcer. Meanwhile Minho sat at a table across the room with Mike and Jun as they ate and talked unbothered. "This years student body nominated, Prince of Brightstone is... Jisung Han! Congratulations Jisung for winning two years in a row! Come get your crown!" The announcer called out from the middle of the cafeteria and the whole place burst into applause and cheers for Jisung. As Jisung walked through fans screaming and cheering he still found himself looking for Minho in the crowd. Jisung locked eyes with Minho finally as the announcer was about to place the crown on his head. Minho smirked and gave Jisung a thumbs up. Jisung reached up and stopped the announcer from putting the crown on his head. The crowd grew quiet before erupting into whispers as everyone speculated what was happening.

"Why didn't he put the crown on?" Mike asked. "Look, Jisung is talking to the announcer." Jun said pointing in that direction. Minho's eyes followed her finger and landed on Jisung whispering to the announcer with the crown in his hand. Suddenly Jisung had the microphone from the announcer and said "I know many of you voted for me to be this years Prince but I honestly don't know why. This year I have been conniving, manipulative and a downright jerk, I don't deserve this crown, but there's someone who does. Someone who from the moment he got here has been nothing but genuine and has gained a lot of attention here not because of stupid politics and campaigning but simply for being an awesome guy. So while I used to want this so bad, I think the real Prince of Brightstone this year, is Minho Lee." All eyes turned to Minho and he didn't know what to do. The crowd began to clap and whoop and holler loudly for Minho. "Go to him Minho!" June said with dewy eyes. Minho began to walk hesitantly through the crowd as people cheered and patted him on the back. When he reached Jisung he was greeted with a warm smile. "I know you didn't ever want this but you deserve it more than anyone. This should go to someone who has made this school a better place by being here, and that's you." Jisung said as he reached up and put the crown on Minhos head. Minho smiled softly at Jisung and for a moment it was like they were the only two people in the room.

After the election everyone went about their normal class schedules. It came time for Minho and Jisung's dance class and while they didn't talk to each other during the whole period, they kept glancing at one another. Later Minho came back to the dorm from his after school dance team practice with the crown in his hand. Jisung got up from his chair and walked to Minho asking "What? You didn't want your dance team to know that you are a Prince?" "Well they already know that, I just didn't really think it matched my sweats." Minho joked. Jisung smiled as he gently took the crown from Minhos hand and said as he went to put it on Minho "I think it suits you quite well." Minho stopped Jisung and brought his hands down as he said "I just don't understand, you wanted this so bad. I mean this was everything to you. What changed?" "You. I thought all I needed was to be loved and adored by fans after the lonely life I've led but then because of you I realized I could have so much more than that." Jisung said. "Because of me?" Minho asked. "Because of you I started to appreciate the people I already had in my life like Hyunjin and Jun and I was able to make new friends, and go out and have fun and be rebellious like a regular teenager. Before you came here my life was so shallow, I was so starved for love that I changed myself in every way depending on the person I came in contact with so that they would like me or admire me. But you, you kept forgiving me and spending time with me even when I showed you the ugliest sides of me. That's when I realized that your friendship meant more to me than any stupid title." Jisung said. "Oh we are friends now? I thought you didn't like me?" Minho asked teasing. "Let's just say I was in denial about just how much I did like you." Jisung answered. "Is that so?" Minho asked taking a step towards Jisung. "You came in and confused the hell out of me. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I didn't know whether I wanted to be you or be with you." Jisung said. Minhos eyes widened as he stopped in his tracks. Minho gulped before getting the courage to slide his hand around Jisung's small waist as he pulled him closer. "Are you still confused?" Minho asked in a slightly shaky voice. Jisung tossed the crown that he still had in his hand unto Minhos bed and said "What do you think?" He then ran his fingers into Minhos hair as he pulled his face down to his. They began kissing softly at first and then more intense until Jisung's eyes suddenly got big and he stopped and pulled away from Minho to say "Is that a tongue piercing?" "It's new." Minho said before sticking his tongue out and winking. Jisung felt his face get hot before pulling Minho back into a kiss.

Four months later:
Minho and Jisung were openly dating in the school and surprisingly most people were cool with it. In fact, the two hottest guys in school being boyfriends was cheered for by most. The funniest part was the Prince Jisung Fan Club evolving into mega fans of the twos relationship, they even came up with a new name for themselves, Minsungers. The school year was coming to an end and Minhos graduation was just around the corner. "I totally support you guys but like who knew the Prince was gay all this time?" Mike said. "I'm not gay." Jisung said. "Yeah I made that mistake before, he doesn't like to be labeled and put in a box." Minho said to Mike. "If you must have a label, I guess the best fitting one would be pansexual." Jisung said. "Which one is that again?" asked Mike. "It means he doesn't really care about gender, they just have to be extremely hot." Minho said as he bit his lip and winked at Jisung. "That has nothing to do w..." Jisung said before being cut off by Mike. "Ah I get that, they just have to be fine, you are finesexual. Makes sense." Mike said smirking and nodding his head. "You know what Mike, for you I'm gonna count this as understanding the spectrum of sexuality a little more." Jisung said chuckling. It was the end of the school day and Minho came by Jisung's class to walk to their dorm together. "Do you wanna go get boba?" Minho asked as Jisung walked up to him. Jisung chuckled as he thought about how full circle the two of them had come. The first time Minho asked him that being when they were rivals and now they were dating. Jisung grabbed Minhos hand and said as they began walking "Yes then, yes now." They got their boba and walked around for a bit before stopping to sit on a park bench together. "Graduation is next week." Minho said seriously as he looked down. "I know, and you haven't told me what university you ended up picking yet. If you are trying to kill me with suspense, it's working." Jisung said laughing. "That's what I asked you out here to talk about... I know you know there have been a few different schools that I have been looking at but hadn't decided on yet. Well... I made a decision..." Minho said. "And?" Jisung asked nervously. "And... you are going to have to get off your ass and get a license because I'm not going to be the only one doing the 45 minute drive everyday." Minho said. Jisung's eyes lit up as he stood up and hit Minhos arm excitedly saying "45 minutes?! That's it! You were scaring me with your tone damn it!" "That was the point!" Minho said laughing. Jisung's eyes began to well up with tears. "Oh jagi, please don't start, then I will cry too!" Minho said in a soft voice as he reached up to gently hold Jisung's cheek. "I have just never been this happy." Jisung said with tears in his eyes as he leaned down to kiss Minho softly.
