Anticipated Reality

Description

In which Chen just mourns the decisions that formed his current love life.

Foreword

You know when you do something that's particularly life changing? Like acquire a boyfriend whose personality drew you in before looks and actual habits? And then you wonder where the living hell you went wrong but you're torn between both loving and scorning him? No? Then, damn it all, you can't help me.

 

 

Something I came up with on the fly just before bed. I hope you like it. It's a ChenYeol, one of the very rare few that are on this site.

Chapter 1: Awesome writing, I love your description. It's pretty damn epic. Chen sounds so much like me in real life. Except the boyfriend part. Heh.
I prefer being single

Chapter 1: This was absolutely adorable and entirely believable. The way you approach Chen is fairly delightful and it's interesting to see the way he admits things about himself and then how he regards Chanyeol in particular. They both come off as incredibly flawed, in one way or another, but perhaps because of that, they balance out perfectly. Chanyeol's exuberance versus Jongdae's reluctance; his desire to be constantly close vs the vague need for personal space, sacrificed for the sake of his boyfriend; etc.

Some of your descriptors were flat out hilarious too. I loved 'awkward penguin' and the way you described how Chanyeol handled that situation was too sweet. haha But the kisses... Omg! lol I can see why Chen would only prefer one or two in that instance. At least he worked up the courage to say something, even if that didn't quite extend to the latter half of the chapter. (More) Patience Yeolie! You hit that nail square on the head though. It's amazing how little it takes to make people withdraw again, even or especially when someone they care about has incredibly poor timing.

Along with that, it's very easy to relate to what Chen's thinking and feeling in regards to Chanyeol. Despite his uncertainty in why the other older male is with him, and his own hesitation in regards to why he feels the way he does, it was just very grounding to read that he still feels like he'll do something to mess things up. I can hardly imagine he acts much different around Chanyeol than he normally would, save for the physical awkwardness, but it's ironic that he fears something so very irrational and yet, I think everyone goes through that... Damn.

I did want to mention I enjoyed your description of how he particularly favored the dark and was thereby a ninja. I laughed. haha It was also ridiculously cute to read about their first make-out session, in retrospect mind you. So a good and thoughtful read all the way around. Quite looking forward to more. XD
