Mystic Messenger High School! AU - Peaceful - Saeran x Reader

Invited In

"Hi, Saeyoung." I find both brothers standing in the entryway, seemingly having a conversation I interrupted.

"Hey, (Y/n)!" Seven flashes me a grin. "You must have been pretty busy, huh? Not looking at the time for that long, I mean."

"Oh... uh... yeah." My face flushes and I rub my neck awkwardly. "I'm really sorry about that... again."

"Don't worry. I'm glad you kids had fun." He winks and I feel my blush darken.

"Stop harassing her, please."

"Please?" Saeyoung gasps mockingly. "Am I mishearing something? You're being... NICE to me?" He lifts a hand to his forehead, pretending to be faint.

Saeran rolls his eyes. "I can't do that? You're my flesh and blood, dumbass."

Seven's hand lowers and he narrows his eyes, pinching his brother.

"Ow! What was that for, asshole?"

"Nothing. Just had to make sure that you were really Saeran."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, for starters, you're treating me like a normal human and not like garbage." Seven turns to face me, raising an eyebrow. "(Y/n), did you have anything to do with this, by any chance?" 

I defensively raise my hands. "Don't shoot the messenger."

He laughs. "I won't. Thank you so much."

I smile. "I didn't do much. Saeran always cared for you, just never showed it."

"Hey!"

I laugh and meet Saeran's eyes. He's glaring at me, but I know he's not really mad. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his neck, smirking.

"You can pretend to be mad at me all you want, it won't change the fact that you love your brother and we both know it."

He rolls his eyes and looked away from me. "Whatever." He mumbled, and I grinned. 

I turn my head to look at Seven, who's just staring at us. "See, Seven? He admitted it."

"Yeah, with a lot of coaxing." Luciel laughed. "You have a gift, (Y/n)."

"Thanks." I remove my arms from Saeran's neck and resort to standing next to him. 

He wraps an arm around my side protectively.

Aw, that's cute. He's protective even around his brother.

"Do you guys want to stay a little longer for tea or something to eat?" I ask hopefully. 

"I'm alright, thanks." Seven smiles. "Besides, it'd be kinda awkward being lovey-dovey around me, wouldn't it?"

I'm blushing again, and I can kinda guess that Saeran is embarrassed, too, from how his grip on my waist tightens.

The awkward silence is broken by Saeran. Unintentionally.

His stomach started growling.

Seven and I burst out into laughter and Saeran's fingers dug themselves deeper into my side.

"You sure you don't want to reconsider my offer?"

"I guess you guys never thought to eat, huh? Sure." Seven takes off toward the kitchen and I follow, prying myself from Saeran's side, not even bothering to care that he knows where it is, despite not leaving the living room every time he was over.

"Wait."

I turn to look at Saeran who seems to be frozen in place. "Yeah?"

"Do I have to? I miss being alone with you."
