Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.

Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories
"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04
Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.
Tom Watts - Martha

Human beings like structure more than anything. They create rules to maintain this structure, they dictate what is deemed suitable at different situations, time and place. Seungkwan, the human being, sitting in space jail has not been prepared for this situation even in his wildest dreams.
He breathes in to the best of his abilities with the oxygen mask he has on, to help him you know survive. The place looks no different than what you expect out of a typical police station, the detective is an alien but seungkwan has never been one to judge. Actually that is a lie, there is one person he never could refrain from judging and he's sitting right in front of him in the jail cell.
"You stupid dumbass" seungkwan shouts, uncaring of his surrounding, focused only on the red head sitting behind bars.
"You utter moron" he is halfway through the list of every insult invented by mankind when he is interrupted.
"I missed you too seungkwan~ah" Soonyoung, the infamous red head has the audacity to utter those words.
" I cannot believe I'm stuck in space jail because of you, of all people. I didn't even know you were alive till you just showed up at my door, arm broken, pleading for help." Seungkwan rants.
"Are you angry with me ?" Soonyoung says pouting, clearly the man has a death wish.
" WHO WOULDN'T BE ANGRY, You showed up, ate all my breakfast after faking your death for three years Jesus Christ." Seungkwan's slightly out of breath.
" Seungkwan~ah" hoshi simply says.
" What. What is it?" Seungkwan feels the anger leaving him now that he's taken it all out Soonyoung. It's not like he was truly angry either, just worried, as he always is when Soonyoung is concerned.
" Did you really think I was dead? Me." Soonyoung has a smirk on his face and he wishes so much that they didn't have these bars in between so seungkwan could punch him to his heart's desire.
" Wah three years and you've not become even a bit more tolerable hyung."
" It's a part of my charm." Soonyoung says and pauses, looking pensive all of a sudden.
" So why did I have to punch that guy?"
Seungkwan's heart melts a little, as terrible as Soonyoung may be, he's always taken care of him, so much that he would probably never be able to repay him. He looks away as he answers," just another stupid ex hyung, I was just about to get rid of him."
He waits for the classic lecture, Soonyoung will maybe even make fun of him for always picking the wrong guy. He braces himself for it but it never comes, just a simple "you know I'm just a phone call away if you ever need anything."
Seungkwan's heart flutters but he quickly internally stomps on those feelings, they are literally in jail, he needs his heart to act sane for at least 10 minutes by the clock.
Seungkwan scoffs "A phone call away. To someone who has been declared dead for the past 3 years."
"Would you let it go already??? Seokmin is so lucky he doesn't have to listen to you nag like a grandma right now." Soonyoung speaks, clearly annoyed, as if he is the one being dramatic.
"You've spoken to seokmin ?? Seok knows you're alive ??!!!" The pitch of his voice only rises with each word.
"Anyways. so here's the plan." Soonyoung says, ignoring his words completely. He passes a round aluminium ball towards him, the size of his palm. " I'm at least 75% sure this will explode enough to cause a commotion, leading me to escape, I'm gonna put you inside the jail cell, so play the victim well okay seungkwan ah."
" What" is all seungkwan can say, still trying to process Soonyoungs words.
" I've been unalive for 3 years, the minute they get their hands on my fingerprints I'm done for, everything I told them while getting arrested was fake, obviously, so I've got to leave before they start looking for real evidence."
Seungkwan understands the situation of course, as insane as it may be, he looks at Soonyoungs face and sighs to himself. This is why one shouldn't stay friends with their childhood buddies, who knows the kind of person they grow up to become.
Seungkwan just wanted someone to push him on the swings and here he is years later, abiding in a crime.
" Call before visiting next time hyung." Are the last words seungkwan says to Soonyoung before half the space police station explodes.
