i take back everything i've ever said i want to get married so fucking bad

Today we are called upon to celebrate the 22nd year of prince Na Jaemin.

"Okay, everything's fine. You just need to give a small speech thanking everyone and then the party will start and then you can make more small talk with people from Petramus and Aellan and-- HAAAAA, how am I gonna do this?!" Jaemin grips the vanity table, staring at himself. God he looks like a mess. Not physically, absolutely not. They made sure to fluff his hair just enough to suit Soladium royalty, a kind of effortless carefree look that makes him look like he just rolled out of bed and looked that good. There's some light sparkling around his eyes, a symbol of sun rays. A bit on the nose if you asked him but of course it's somewhat of a given, when you're a prince of a solar kingdom.

Somewhere else, in Starfall Hollow's main ballroom, are the masses of guests Jaemin will have to somehow navigate. It's not something he hasn't done, but that was in the limits of his own realm, with mostly citizens of his own kingdom and a few honored foreign guests. In Starfall Hollow, the scale is much bigger. Of course it is, with how many realms have chosen to join the summit this year. And somehow his birthday just had to fall in the middle of it.

Sighing, Jaemin leans forward to the point where he's almost touching the mirror with his forehead. He doesn't, since it'd smudge the mirror and he's not trying to be mean to the cleaning staff. Servants? It's confusing since there's both old and new blending together here.

"Jaem?" Even without looking, Jaemin definitely knows who that voice belongs to. But still he turns with a smile tugging involuntarily on his lips. "Jaem it's almost time."

"Yeah, yeah okay." Jaemin clears his throat and smooths out his fancy coat, finishing with a light tug to his shirt. He grins and bows slightly, eyes never leaving Jeno's. "How do I look? Like a prince?" There's no point in hiding anything from Jeno, and yet Jaemin still hopes that he doesn't sound as nervous as he feels.

Jeno, to his credit, just scoffs and strides forward until he's less than an arm's length away from his best friend. "Sure, and I look like Yoo Jaesuk. C'mon Jaem, chin up, shoulders back, puff our your chest a little." Jeno's hands come up and push Jaemin's shoulders back just as he says, and by force of habit Jaemin's head comes up. He and Jeno have been similar heights for a long time, though there was that period when Jaemin shot up like a tree and Jeno was a little stockier. They're still kind of like that, even if Jaemin is only 0.2cm taller. He snickers at the thought and Jeno narrows his eyes at that. "Shut up, I know what you're thinking." The older boy snorts again, hands now coming over to straighten out Jaemin's collar. "Jeez, twenty two years and you still mess up your collar every time."

"But of course! Why else do I keep you around," Jaemin quips back. The look Jeno levels him with would be nothing short of lethal, if not for the fondness in his eyes. Jeno has always done this for him, has always been able to get Jaemin to relax with just a short conversation. Maybe it's the atmosphere of the day, where they're going to be celebrating Prince Na Jaemin of Soladium, but Jaemin suddenly finds that he wishes he could just spend the day with Jeno, running around like they're kids, without responsibility. But well, that's just something you give up as you get older he supposes. Really, he should probably just be grateful that they're not pushing for him to get married already or something.

"Jaem." He blinks and tilts his head. Jeno's holding a small box, about the width of his palm. It's wrapped up in blue paper and a silver ribbon, tied into a pretty bow. "I wanted to give this to you before but the noona doing your hair chased me out saying I'd mess up her energy or something."

Jaemin snickers, hand extended to receive the gift. “It’s those bad vibes yknow.” Jeno just rolls his eyes though he laughs right along anyways as he drops the box into Jaemin’s hand.

They’ve known each other for so long that they don’t always need to say please, thank you, you’re welcome. But still after Jaemin unties the ribbon and tears the paper off, unboxing a beautiful delicate gold chain necklace with a sun charm (of which Jeno has the matching silver moon likely tucked under his shirt), he says “Thank you Jeno-yah.” Jeno of course is about to shrug it off, or say it’s not a big deal but it is. It’s a big deal. It’s not just Jaemin’s 22nd birthday, not just because he’s a prince, but because it’s his 22nd year with Jeno. Jaemin has been blessed with twenty two years with his best friend. He can’t imagine what means more than that, especially in moments like this.

Jeno, like always, always, picks up on what he doesn’t say and instead ruffles Jaemin’s hair with a laugh and takes the necklace from his hand. “I’ll help you put it on.”

Jaemin pout, shaking his hair out. “Jeez, these are the bad vibes noona was talking about!” Jeno just laughs and ruffles Jaemin’s hair again after he clasps the necklace.

“Don’t worry Jaem, you’ll still have your man swooning after you anyways.” Jeno checks his own appearance in the mirror, brushing his bangs to the side while Jaemin sputters, red creeping up his neck. A knock at the door interrupts them both.

“Your highnesses, it’s time.”

The nerves come back full force, almost choking him with how they crowd his throat. He’s really going to have to represent Soladium properly, he can’t do anything to mess up their reputation, but what if he does mess up? What if he says the wrong thing or makes a gesture that isn’t correct or—

“C’mon Jaemin.” And again, like always, it’s Jeno’s voice breaking him out of his thoughts. He’s at the door, eyes crinkled in a proud smile, hand extended out to help Jaemin like he always does. “You’re gonna be great.”

Well, if Jeno believes it then Jaemin does too.

💘 + mox and matt cus it's not but i wanted to see how you think it'd go

            –––––– HEADCANONS MEME: DATING EDITION!! ––––––

where  they   first   met   and   how

i like to believe that jon and matt first met in the alley behind a bar. matt kinda scared and jon just happy that he gets to creep someone out. just imagine mox waiting between sentences just to answer with a loud BOO which almost sends matt off his feet, aww.

how   long   their   ‘flirting’   phase   was   before   feelings   got   involved

at least half a year. jon is slow. even if matt was quicker he would be too stupid to pick up on it untilmatt literally tells him. but i can see jon tryin to flirt in his own funny way even though he isn’t sure yet whether he has developed romantic feelings for matt. 

who   fell   for   who   first   ( if   applicable )

probably matt. idk why but i really see him trying to hit on mox who’s too blind to see what’s happening. especially because he wouldn’t think a cute and nice dude could have a serious interest in him. 

where   their   first   date   was   and   what   it   was   like

probably in the same alley as their first meeting went down hahahaha jon would try to make it romantic by lighting a candle while they just sit on the cold concrete and talk for hours.

who   asks   who   out   and   how   ( with   a   sign?   spelled   out   on   a   cake?   just   a   simple   ‘will   you   go   out   with   me’? )

OMG i’m not sure jon would be the first but generally jon asking matt on a date would be so AWKWARD??!?! ‘dude lets hang out like… you and i. alone. i’ll invite you or some sht.’

who   proposes   first

jon. once he feels secure and wanted in a relationship, he will get more comfortable and eventually take manners into his own hands. 

if   they   keep   /   kept   their   relationship   secret   or   let   everyone   know   right   away

jon being jon it would probably be a secret. he doesn’t like people sniffing around in his private life. knowing matt though, it’s not impossible that he’d drop hints on their youtube show.

where   the   proposal   happens   and   how   ( kiss   cam   at   a   baseball   game?   on   a   hillside   surrounded   by   ducks?   at   a   disney   park? )

mister mox is a very simple man. probably just on the couch in the living room or maybe in the garden. ‘babe our relationship is great. i love you. we’re getting married. go buy a suit.’ 

if   they   adopt   any   pets   together

MORE DOGS!!!!!

who’s   more   dominant

………………….. mox :/ a big angry man (with more soft moments than he cares to admit)

where   their   first   kiss   was   and   what   it   was   like

oh! matt and jon, drunk on the toilet at a party after some aew show, celebrating their wins and cELEBRATING THAT THEY FINALLY ADMIT TO THEIR FEELINGS!!

if   they   have   any   matching   couples   stuff   ( mugs?   sweaters?   pillowcases? )

omg jon loves to pretend he’s the big bad guy but secretly he will bring back matching pajamas fOR SURE because he loves a comfy flannel pajama and he might get them matching phone cases (possibly with a picture of them printed on it, in the hope of hating his phone a little less when he sees matt everytime that he uses it).

who   holds   the   umbrella   when   it   rains

they switch. arms get tired if you have to hold the damn thing all the time. 

where   their   usual   ‘date   spot’   is   ( if   applicable )

either the bar where they first kissed or maybe they will find a chill restaurant, like a diner, nothing fancy at all, just a place where they can eat some burgers and laugh about dumb sht.

who’s   more   protective

i want to say they’d both go out of their way to protect the other!

how   long   it   is   before   they   sleep   together   ( can   be   as   in   ‘had   sex’   or   as   in   ‘shared   a   bed’ )

had sex? probably the night when they kissed too. sharing a bed though… that will be even after they admitted to their feelings. 

if   they   argue   about   anything

all the time but never about serious things. it usually ends in playfulness.

who   leaves   more   marks   ( lipstick,   hickeys,   scratchmarks   etc. )

neither. love marks are for teens. 

who   steals   whose   clothes   and   how   often

jon ends up wearing matt’s clothes all the time mainly because he’s the sniff-and-wear type of guy not caring what exactly he has on. so i see it happening that he always ends up wearing his boyfriends shirts and hoodies until matt asks him where all his clothes went. then he tired to be more careful for a day until things go back to normal.

how   they   cuddle   ( spooning?   facing   each   other? )

jon laying on top of matt, ignoring the fact that he probably crushes his lungs because he needs the physical contact and spooning isn’t good enough. 

what   their   favourite   nonsexual   activity   is

WRESTLING

how   long   they   stay   mad   at   each   other

maybe like.. 2 minutes before someone makes a stupid joke.

what   their   usual   coffee   /   tea   orders   are

jon drinks his coffee black. matt with too much sugar but no milk! but both of them are suckers for energy drinks more than anything else. coffee is only served in the mornings. 

if   they   ever   have   any   children   together

nah. only dog kids. jon is a bit scared of being a real dad. he doesn’t want to be a dad who’s never there. 

if   they   have   any   special   pet   names   for   each   other

nothing out of the ordinary. jon will use babe a wHOLE LOT and he just takes what matt is willing to give. maybe matt would be the type to name him something more rare like……. i honestly don’t know. something that jon would never expect for sure. causes a big laugh too the first time that it is used!

if   they   ever   split   up   and   /   or   get   back   together

their relationship is solid. jon is the all or nothing type of person. if they ever broke up it would be a break up for good!

what   their   shared   living   space   is   like   ( messy?   clean?   what   kind   of   decor? )

hm.. jon doesn’t love cleaning and because they have limited time together between work he’d probably hire a cleaning lady once or twice a week to keep an order in the house. they’re both down to earth men. lots of wood furniture and a huge garden are absolutely necessary. a home gym with a ring would be cool and something i can see both of them wanting! they’re probably the kind of couple who gets up in the middle of the night because one of the had an idea for a new move and they want to try it. 

what   their   first   christmas   /  hanukkah   /  etc   as  a   couple   was   like

since mox doesn’t have a lot of family left that he still talks to, he’d invite his mom and his siters over to celebrate together with the jackson family probably!

what   their   names   are   in   each   other’s   phones

in jon’s phone matt will just be matt because he was happy he managed to save the number in the first place and doesn’t know how to change the name anymore. but i see matt taking his phone to change it eventually because he wants the status!!!!!!!!! and matt will save jon as ‘my man’ just to make sure EVERYONE who dares to look at his phone screen when it lights up KNOWS

if   they   have   any   ‘couple   traditions’   ( buying   a   new   mug   for   their   collection   every   year?   baking   every   friday   evening? )

wednesday night is reserved for a wrestling marathon. they love watching the old wrestlemanias together and love studying japanese shows from the early 2000. also they ALWAYS go to bed together because they both hate sleeping along and it’s tradition that every year they start the BBQ season with a little garden party to which only the two of them are invited. 

who   falls   asleep   first   and   who   wakes   up   first

jon falls asleep last. he’s always overthinking some stupid stuff like who really is behind the iluminati and how god had the idea of creating the desert, just random stuff that keeps him up while matt already snores next to him. but because dreams aren’t always amazing to him, he also gets up first. matt sleeps in. long enough that on some days jon wakes him because he’s hungry and wants them to have breakfast. 

who’s   the   big   spoon   /   little   spoon

BIG SWITCH ENERGY!!!!! 

who   hogs   the   bathroom

matt will hammer his fists wound if he tries to get jon off the toilet. he brings his tablet there and watches wrestling match after wrestling match while taking care of business. 

who   kills   the   spiders   /   takes   them   outside

no spiders in the house. the dogs take care of that. if there was one jon wouldn’t mind killing it but matt tries to make him take it outside.
