let us believe: in you, in me by wheretheseaflows

Summary
I love you, Ricky thinks, staring at Gyuvin, but this time in sneaky side glances. I really think you love me too.
Gyuvin’s gentleness will always be the death of someone like Ricky, who so badly wants to be treated like something gentle.
Or: Ricky is still unsure if he can call Korea, much less his other eight members, home. He tries to change that.
Of course, it all starts with Gyuvin.

Summary
Ricky tries hard not to look at Gyuvin’s toothpaste-foam-grin in the mirror. He tries not to wonder if Gyuvin also has butterflies and fire in his veins when they cuddle, especially just now, or if he was just mindlessly scrolling on his phone, completely unbothered.
Ricky tries and tries and tries.
He fails.
After Ricky accidentally leans too far into Gyuvin's chest and Gyuvin insists on Ricky staying there, Ricky starts to overthink. Surely cuddling like that isn't just platonic? Surely he isn't the only one experiencing butterflies?
(Gyuvin is absolutely in love with Ricky. Ricky does not know this.)

Summary
Gyuvin smiles back and tries to slow his heart down before he fucking dies. “Why are you asking? Do you want kids?” And because Gyuvin is a hopeless romantic, he hopes Ricky’s answer is —
“Yes.”
“Oh,” Gyuvin lets out a breath. “Nice,” he says, instead of, I want kids, you want kids, also I’m super in love with you so let’s be boyfriends and then husbands and let’s adopt a thousand kids together and live happily.
Or: After the KBS Episode when Ricky met the twins, he feels a tug at his heart. He knows he wants kids, a family. He finds a family in his members, but he can't help but want more with Gyuvin.
Gyuvin, who is amazing with kids. Gyuvin, who has so much love for everyone in his heart. Maybe Ricky wants a place in Gyuvin's heart too.
Maybe he already has one.

Summary
*THIS FIC HAS BEEN REWORKED INTO MY FIC HERE
“I know you,” Gyuvin says with a happy little smile, touching Ricky’s elbow and stealing a sip from Ricky’s boba.
“You do.” Ricky tries to burn this memory into his head forever and feels like he's being torn apart at the seams.
Or: Gyuvin is gentle towards Ricky. Ricky doesn't know what to do with it. Ricky loves Gyuvin. He doesn't think Gyuvin loves him the same way.

Summary
Because while Gyuvin’s skin holds no permanence of Ricky anywhere, his heart does. His soul does. If someone were to lay out Gyuvin’s entire being, his aorta would bleed and spell out Ricky’s name. His ribs would have Ricky’s fingerprints engraved in each nook and cranny.
Because Gyuvin believes in God.
And he believes in a God who believes in love.
Gyuvin and how he realizes he loves Ricky, throughout the years.

Summary
Ricky and Gyuvin’s first life begins and ends with love, their story doomed to burn fast, their souls cursed to be reborn and forget.
The cruelty lies in one rule: they can’t remember each other unless they meet eyes, and even then, it will take time.
They live a lot of lives without meeting. Without knowing. They live a few where they’re ripped apart again.
But maybe… maybe this is one where they finally can collide and intertwine.
