Lee Jihoon a 5th year Slytherin, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Choi Seungcheol, 6th year Gryffindor.

Jihoon felt his eye twitch as he listened to his friend, Seungcheol who went on and on about a 6th year in Ravenclaw. He told his friend to shut up for the 7th time as he tried to do his homework.

“I swear, Jihoon! He has such gorgeous eyes, and have you seen his hair!?” Seungcheol smiled widely as he poked his friend, waiting for an answer.

“His name is Yoon Jeonghan, 6th year Ravenclaw, currently dating Hong Jisoo a 6th year Hufflepuff.” Jihoon swore he would kill his best friend if he continued about the Ravenclaw.

No, he was not jealous at all. Looking over at Seungcheol, he couldn’t help the blush that spread on his face. He was handsome, big eyes, plump lips and a voice so dreamy that Jihoon could listen to it 24/7.

Shaking his head, he drifted his gaze back to his homework, trying so hard to ignore his best friend.

“You know a lot for someone who never really comes out of the common room.” Seungcheol grinned as he scooted closer to Jihoon, who leaned further towards the wall.

“Cause everyone is stupid and I can’t deal with those kind of people.” Jihoon cursed himself for sitting all the way in the back of the library, where no one ever came. “What are you doing here anyway? I thought you had quidditch practice?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Seungcheol leaned back against his chair, crossing his arms.

“Someone told me you looked angry about something, on the verge of tears, I dropped everything and went off to find you.” Seungcheol glanced at his friend, frowning when Jihoon wouldn’t look at him. “Jiji, if something is wrong, I want you to tell me ok?”

“Like hell I would cry where everyone can see me!” Jihoon scoffed, slamming the book shut. “Professor Jung just pissed me off, that’s all.” That was a lie, he loved the classes of professor Jung.

“Well, we all know that’s a lie.” Standing up, Seungcheol looked down at Jihoon. “I don’t know why you can’t tell me the truth, but if you want to talk, you’ll know where I’m at” Ruffling Jihoons hair, he walked away.

Screaming, Jihoon dropped his head on the table, groaning. Why couldn’t he just tell him? Scoffing, he sat back up straight.

“Ofcourse I can’t. I can’t just walk up to him and be like ‘Hey Cheol, Jeonghan just threatened to hex me cause I’m in love with you.’ How the hell did he found that out anyway, I swear if Chan talked I’m going to kill someone.” Sighing, he picked up the books he needed for transfiguration and left the library, not noticing that someone was watching, and listening.

“So, our little Slytherin is in love with our captain.” Covering his mouth, he started giggling.

“Seungkwan, why are we here anyway? I love being here but I know for a fact that you don’t.” Wonwoo raised his eyebrow. “Can’t we just leave our friends alone for once? I knew I should’ve let Hansol know what you were up too.”

“Leave Hansol out of this! He would never let me do this!” Seungkwan pouted as he grabbed Wonwoo’s hand, dragging him out of the library. “Hansol doesn’t know what fun means.”

Wonwoo rolled his eyes as he let his friend drag him.

“What do you mean the password is wrong!?” Jihoon slammed his books on the ground. “The password is samgyupsal! Just let me in!” Clenching his fists, he kicked the wall as the portet once again refused to let him in. “You better still be on the field.” Running down the stairs he cursed at each and every one who crossed his path.

“You need to fly a little faster if you want to catch the snitch.” Seungcheol chuckled as he ruffled the first years hair. “No worries! You will learn in time. Now off you go!”

“YAH! Choi Seungcheol!!” The first year squeaked at the sight of an angry Jihoon and ran away as fast as he could. “The ing portet wouldn’t let me in the common room!” Plopping onto the grass he crossed his arms.

“Isn’t that like the 4th time this week? What have you done to piss it off?” Seungcheol sat across from his friend, trying hard to hide his smile but failing miserably. “You can’t always sleep in the Gryffindor common room, you will get caught sooner or later.”

“If that as-!” Jihoon glared as Seungcheol suddenly covered his mouth. Considering if he should bite or his friends hand the latter began to talk.

“I know why you were so angry this morning.” Seungcheol watches as Jihoons eyes went wide. “Jeonghan tried to hex you again, didn’t he? I have told him to stop bullying you and even talked to his boyfriend about it, but he seems he doesn’t really care.” Lowering his hand he stared at Jihoon. “Why is he out to get you?”

‘Because he wants you you idiot’ Jihoon looks down at his hands, shaking his head. “I don’t know, I guess he just hates Slytherins?”

“But he adores Chan? What is the real reason Jihoon? You know you can tell me everything. Hey! Where are you going!? I wasn’t finished yet!” Seungcheol watches as Jihoon stood up and ran away at full speed. “I swear, this kid…”

Leaning against a wall, Jihoon catches his breath.

“Why does he always have to mention him!?” Turning around, he clenched his fist and punched the wall as hard as he could. “Why does he want Cheol when he’s dating Jisoo already…”

“That’s because he wants something, or in this case, someone that is off limits.” Mingyu, a 4th year Gryffindor steps out of the shadows, crouching in front of Jihoon. “Our captain is quite oblivious when it comes to his surroundings. When everyone has already figured something out, it takes him a while to figure it out.”

“Why the hell are you telling me this? I know Seungcheol is dumb as hell, but he doesn’t need to know everything, he doesn’t….” Jihoon looks down as his blood covered hand, wincing as he wiggles his fingers.

“We’re not stupid, Jihoon. We all know how you feel about him, well, thanks to Seungkwan that is. He’s quite a loud person.” Sighing, Mingyu stood back up, looking up, smiling slightly. “You might either want to run now, or stay, Seungcheol is coming this way. He cares you know…”

Gritting his teeth, he watches Mingyu walk away, hearing him greet Seungcheol. He could run, but if he does, he knows Seungcheol will catch him. He’s blaming Jeonghan for this, and Seungkwan, but he would deal with him later.

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Hey...what happened?” Kneeling down, Seungcheol gently took Jihoons hand in his. “Did you get into a fight again?”

“I got into a fight...with a wall, it was in my way.” Jihoon looked away, his face turning red as Seungcheol started to laugh, he loved that laugh, but right now it only made him miserable. “I should go back to the common room…”

“Are you sure? You can stay with me for awhile.” Still holding Jihoons injured hand, he tried to look at the Slytherins face. “Ji, you were always so honest with me, but I feel like you’re ignoring me, pushing me away and I don’t know what I did for you to do that.”

“You didn’t do anything, Cheol.” Jihoon hated the look Seungcheol had on his face right now, the smile that was usually on his face had disappeared and the cheerful tone in his voice was gone as well. “I….I just can’t tell you, not now, I’m sorry.”

Letting his hand slip out of Seungcheol, he started to walk away, his steps heavy and his heart hurting.

Seungkwan had his arms and legs crossed as he glared at the Ravenclaw table.

“I don’t care that he’s hyungs boyfriend, he’s being an for no reason! Why does he have to be like that to our Jihoonie!?” Seungkwan screeched, throwing his hands up.

“Boo, you need to calm down before you drag him over the table by his hair.” Hansol rubbed his lovers back, trying to calm him down.

“And I’m not your Jihoonie, stop calling me that! I’m still your hyung.” Jihoon plopped down next to Soonyoung, who was staring lovingly at Chan, who was sitting with Jeonghan as well.

“Oh he’s coming this way!!” Soonyoung started freaking out, not because of the Ravenclaw, but because of the Slytherin heading their way. “Holy , he’s gorgeous.” Covering his mouth, Soonyoung tried to climb out of his seat, but ending up falling backwards.

“Good morning, hyungs!” Chan beams, letting go of Jeonghan's arm and sitting next to Jihoon. “I was glad when I heard you got back into the common room, hyung.”

Jihoon smiled, pinching Chans cheek, chuckling as the youngest whined.

“Good morning everyone.” Seungcheol walked up to the table. “Yoon Jeonghan, I have been told that you were the one who put a spell on the Slytherin common room entrance, not allowing Jihoon to go inside. I have also heard that you were the one who misplaced Jihoons belongings and hexed his quill and broom.” Glaring at the Ravenclaw, he frowned when the 6th year just started laughing.

“I can’t believe I’m getting scolded by you, Cheollie” Ignoring Jihoons words, he turned to look back at Seungcheol. “I was just messing around, I didn’t attack him personally.”

“You may be getting scolded by me, but if I report this to the headmaster, which I will, you won’t be laughing any longer. I thought we were friends, why would you want to hurt my best friend?” Seungcheol shook his head, placing a hand on Jihoons shoulder.

“Oh? You want to know why? I just showed him an illusion, letting him think you and I were dating, letting him believe that we kissed for real.He’s in lo-” Jeonghan started laughing, unable to continue, not noticing the fist that was coming his way.

Everyone gasped, turning their heads to look at the youngest, who still had his arm outstretched, panting in anger.

“C-chan?” Jeonghan covered his mouth and nose with one hand, feeling blood dripping down.

“Thank you, Channie.” Jihoon stood up, grabbing onto Wonwoo’s arm, letting the older apparate them from the dining hall, to the greenhouses. Once they arrived, Jihoon broke down, collasping into Wonwoo’s arms.

“I took us here, cause I know that you love being here.” Combing his fingers through Jihoons hair, he let the boy cry as much as he wanted. “Jeonghan can be an , but I promise you, he’s not as bad once you get to know him.” Looking down at the Slytherin, he sighed softly. “I know how you feel, loving someone who is just a clueless, happy puppy, but you can’t help but fall for them more and more.”

Wonwoo had slid down against a wall onto the floor, feeling the Slytherin drifting off to sleep. Wonwoo would be sure to have a talk with his fellow Ravenclaw later.

Before they knew it, morning came. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin were still in the greenhouse. Jihoon having not woken up yet, Wonwoo decided to carry him on his back, back to the castle.

“Wonwoo! Have you seen Ji-” Seungcheol was shushed as Wonwoo slightly turned, revealing Jihoon sleeping on his back. Seungcheol face softened at the sight of his best friend. “I looked for him the whole night...thank you for taking care of him.”

“I don’t know what happened when we left, but I think it’s for the best if Jihoon doesn’t see Jeonghan for a while.” Wonwoo’s stare was hard, he may not be very good friends with Jihoon, but they still trusted each other and he wouldn’t let anyone hurt him.

“We won’t be seeing Jeonghan for a while, the headmaster was quite pissed, attacking and messing around with other students is forbidden and Jeonghan thought he wouldn’t get caught.” Seungcheol sighed, holding out his arms. “I’ll take him with me if you don’t mind.”

“You can, but don’t be surprised if he will take off again, he’s very emotional right now. I have never seen him like this before.” Letting Jihoon carefully being lifted from his back, he stood back up straight. “He’s very important to each and every one of us, please don’t hurt him, hyung.”

“That’s the last thing I want, Jihoon being hurt.” Looking down at his best friend in his arms, he smiled sadly. “I would never forgive myself if I were the reason for his pain.”

“Please stay with him till he wakes up, if he wants to run, let him, if he wants to talk, let him finish.” Wonwoo smiled sadly. “I have to fix something myself first.”

Apparating himself to the place where he knew Mingyu would be, Wonwoo yelped as he was met with an amused Mingyu, standing awfully close to him.

“Don’t think of running away this time, Jeon.” Slipping an arm around Wonwoo’s waist, he pulled him closer. “I was wondering when you would take the first step.”

“Y-you knew? The whole time? YAH!” Punching Mingyu’s chest, he couldn’t help the smile that grew on his face as the younger faked being hurt. “You could’ve said something, instead of making me feel all of this.”

“I just wanted to have some fun, I’m sorry.” Leaning down, he brushed his lips against the Ravenclaws cheek. “Can I kiss you?” Waiting for an answer, he  looked into Wonwoo’s eyes. “You’re so beautiful.”

“Sh-shut up…” Pressing his lips against Mingyu’s, he squeezed his eyes shut, relaxing as soon as he felt the Gryffindor kiss back.

Back at the castle, Seungcheol was still walking towards the Gryffindor common room, noticing a twitch of Jihoons eyebrow, he smiled softly.

“It’s ok if you don’t want to talk yet, just sleep and we’ll see tomorrow, ok?” Seungcheol felt his heart clench as he saw a tear escape Jihoons eye. “It’s going to be ok, I won’t let him near you again, ok?” Climbing up the stairs, he enters his room, carefully laying Jihoon down on his bed.

Jihoon felt his heart beating faster as he was being carried by Seungcheol, he slightly opened his eyes as he felt the bed underneath him. Panicking he reaches out a hand as Seungcheol starts to walk away, grabbing onto Seungcheols robe.

Without saying anything, Seungcheol turned around and climbed into his bed, facing Jihoon.

“You don’t have to say anything, you know that right? I don’t know what Jeonghan wanted to do or say, but it obviously hurted you, and I hate seeing you like this.” Wrapping an arm around Jihoons waist, he pulled the boy on top of him, sliding his fingers through the black strands.

“You’re so stupid…” Jihoon lifted his head from Seungcheol’s chest to glare at him through his tears. “Even after all these years you still don’t know!?” Jihoon wanted to punch him, hex him! Seungcheol just smiled, angering Jihoon even more.

“Hey, hey, wait!” Seungcheol sat up after Jihoon had climbed of off him. “I may be clueless at times and yes, this took me some time to figure out. But I’m not stupid Jihoon.” Tugging Jihoon back towards him, the smaller landed against his chest with a grunt. “If I knew how you felt, I would’ve stopped Jeonghan earlier, warn him that he should never mess around with the one I love.”

“Like he would even listen to anyone, and you don’t even know how I feel! You said yourself that you’re clueless.” Jihoon was pouting, pulling at the edge of his robe.

Seungcheol shook his head chuckling, his friend wasn’t listening to him at all.

“Lee Jihoon, you’re not listening at all.” Turning Jihoon around, he cupped the Slytherins face. “If you stopped mumbling, running away, or rolling your eyes everytime I open my mouth, you would know that I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend.”

Jihoon glared the entire time Seungcheol was talking. His face turned red as he heard the last few words coming from his best friends lips.

“I will kill you if you’re messing with me….” Jihoon yelped as he was pushed onto his back, Seungcheol hovering above him, holding his hands above his head.

“I’m not messing around, Jihoon.” Looking into Jihoons eyes, Seungcheol smiled softly. “I would never make fun of you or your feelings.” Leaning down, he pressed a soft kiss against Jihoons forehead.

Jihoon closed his eyes tightly as he felt Seungcheols lips touch his forehead, feeling like his heart would burst from his chest.

“Will you be my boyfriend, Jihoon?” Seungcheol caressed Jihoons cheek as he watched the younger male slowly open his eyes. Smiling, he took the mumbling and the adorable pout as a yes. “I really love you, you know that right?”

Jihoon swore he would die of a heart attack if his lover continued like that, so he slapped a hand against Seungcheol’s mouth.

“Y-you really need to stop...i-it’s embarrassing” Jihoon mumbled, his face bright red. He was definitely not used to all of this and it amused Seungcheol to no end.
