Ship: Sunghoon x Jake
Fantasy AU

No one’s POV.:
Jake knew that Sunghoon was more than met the eye but he would’ve never expected just how deep that truth ran. Sure, he had noticed the silver glint in the other’s eyes from time to time but had always blamed it on a trick of the light. Sometimes, Jake started to doubt that Sunghoon was human though. Today was one of these days for example. The group visited an ice rink and they had Sunghoon skate to a few of their songs, the boy gliding across the ice with unparalleled grace, making Jake’s heart beat out of his chest. That was the other thing Jake found mysterious about his friend. Sunghoon seemed to have the power to make his heart do funny things he couldn’t control and it scared the Aussie.

“Do you want me to teach you?”, Sunghoon offered once they were done filming. He had had a crush on Jake for ages and didn’t fail to notice how the other had watched him as he skated. Most of the members were cold and wanted to go back to the dorm as soon as possible but Jake gladly stayed behind with Sunghoon. He wasn’t confident on skates at all but if it gave him an opportunity to spend some time with the other, just the two of them, he’d take it. Even if it meant making a complete fool of himself.

After the members said their goodbyes, Jake put on a pair of skates and Sunghoon stepped off the ice to help him lace them, reminding: “I don’t want you to get hurt, so it’s important the laces are tied well.” Not that Jake would’ve been able to tie his laces after that. His hands shaking from the fluttery feeling that had hit him when Sunghoon treated him protectively. Noticing how the Aussie trembled, Sunghoon slipped out of his coat. He was warm from skating anyway, smiling: “Here, take my coat.” Though he wasn’t cold in the slightest, Jake complied because for one, he couldn’t tell the other that he was trembling because they were alone together and two, he would never say no to wearing his crushes clothes.

Enveloped in the scent of Sunghoon’s cologne, Jake’s heartbeat accelerated quite a bit and he knew he didn’t need the other’s coat at all, already feeling overly warm just from how close they were. The jelly-like consistency of his knees didn’t help Jake perform well on the ice though and was likely starting to hallucinate too, the air around Sunghoon glimmering.

“Are you okay?”, Sunghoon asked softly, holding out his hands to steady Jake as he tried to get his footing on the ice. Absentmindedly nodding, the Aussie gripped onto his friend’s hands and shakily stepped onto the ice. He stiffened when Sunghoon placed one hand on his waist and started to gently push him across the ice. Slowly starting to relax, Jake leant back into the other’s hold and hummed: “Aren’t you cold after giving me your coat?” Sunghoon’s soft laugh made Jake’s heart flutter. “No, I got my personal Australian sun right here with me”, he denied, “How could I possibly be cold?” It was true, Sunghoon couldn’t possibly be cold though Jake wasn’t necessarily the reason for that. As an ice fairy, Sunghoon felt the most alive, the lower the temperatures dropped. “See, you can skate. No idea why you were so insecure”, he smiled.

In reality, Sunghoon used his powers to smooth the ice over right in front of Jake’s skates, knowing how tricky it could get when the ice was already well used. Clutching the other’s wrists, Jake muttered: “I-I need to get off.” – “Why, what’s wrong?”, Sunghoon frowned, slowing them both down, “Are you okay?” – “Don’t- Don’t feel well”, Jake mumbled, relying more on his crushes support. He had already felt off earlier and seen weird tricks of the light but now, he was sure he was hallucinating. They were at an indoor ice rink yet there were small snowflakes floating all around them, the realization making Jake dizzy. “Why- why is it snowing, Hoonie, please- please tell me I’m not going insane”, the Aussie pleaded, freaking out.

“Whoops”, Sunghoon giggled awkwardly, “You’re not going insane, Jake. I guess, I just got a little too excited.” – “That’s your doing?! How?”, Jake gasped, clinging to the other. Guiding the Aussie to the barrier of the rink to hold onto, Sunghoon trapped him between his arms, so he wouldn’t fall if he lost his balance. Sunghoon’s eyes sparkled and turned silver but Jake didn’t find it in himself to be scared when the other whispered: “I have some powers, you know. Sometimes, strong emotions can make them go haywire and I’m just so happy right now.” – “What- what are you, Hoonie?”, Jake stammered, his chest feeling tight. When he glanced over Sunghoon’s shoulder, he could faintly make out the outline of a pair of almost translucent wings, gasping: “You have wings?!”

After a moment of stunned silence, Sunghoon breathed: “You can see them?” Jake nodded tensely. “Why are you so shocked? I should be the one to be shocked”, the Aussie frowned, holding on to Sunghoon’s shoulders. “Well, humans aren’t supposed to see my wings. Only other fairies can see them”, Sunghoon mumbled, “The only reason a human could possibly see through the veil would be a soulmate-bond.” – “Other fairies? Are you a fairy”, Jake whispered wide-eyed. The other nodded slightly, mouthing: “Ice fairy.” A look of realization flashed across Jake’s face, some things suddenly making sense.

“So, you made it snow?”, Jake confirmed, watching the snowflakes still floating around them, “Is there anymore magic you can do?” – “Sure”, Sunghoon chuckled, a spark of mischief in his eyes. Jake watched him confused, so the fairy smiled: “Look up!” Above their heads, almost as if it had been conjured from thin air, hung a mistletoe. “You know what mistletoes mean?”, Sunghoon breathed, Jake’s eyes going wide. When the Aussie seemed frozen, Sunghoon decided to be daring and slowly connected their lips, anxious whether the other would push him away. His heart fluttered, the snow around them getting thicker when Jake returned the kiss.
