Suho/Amber ; Henry/Amber ; pg ; ~1k words ; oneshot
Sadly, Suho is unable to not embarrass himself in front of the the girl he likes.
Suho likes to believe he is a suave gentleman, a charm with the ladies. As he like to reiterate to his members though amid ridiculing laughters and loud snorts. The little brats can never understand how he can be so unbearably attractive and flirtatious.
Unfortunately, today's incident proves him wrong. And also proves the other members of Exo K, and M right.
He expects the members will be having a field day with him. Sleep was out of the question tonight. They are probably going to taunt him left and right about his failed flirting attempts.
A red plastic cup filled with juice sits in front of him, a silent mockery. He glares at it and angrily grabs the cup off the table, downing it in a huff.
Everything will probably reach China in about ten minutes time. He could already see Sehun and Baekhyun texting away.
Suho finds it absolutely unbelievable that he had actually been nervous in a front of a girl. Not only does he stutter and blush whenever she speaks to him, he has also tripped. On air. Absolutely atrocious.
And said girl had proceeded to laugh at him - in that lovely, tinkling laugh of hers - while picking him up. Which obviously causes him to stutter and blush a little more.
Totally uncharacteristic, Suho thinks. I'm supposed to be the charismatic leader!
Not to mention when Amber leans over on top of him during the photoshoot, he nearly loses his balance and making them both fall over. Thankfully he manages to catch himself and his man-pride in time. Cause if he did fall, he will never be able to look at Amber straight in the face ever again.
"Hey Suho oppa, why are you glaring at that cup?"
The girl in his thoughts appears before him and sits onto the table. Her long fringe falls into her eyes but it doesn't hide the glint of amusement in them. He hurried shoves away the cup as he straightens his shirt. "No, I was just thinking."
Oppa, she called me oppa. Suho could feel a burgeoning warmth in his heart and on his face. Oppa.
Gosh, I'm acting like a fanboy.
"Well, you must have been thinking pretty hard then. You were almost burning that cup with your eyes." Amber says, mouth forming a gigantic grin.
Right at that moment, Suho feels like digging a hole and committing suicide in it. How many times has he embarrassed himself in front of Amber today?
In order to appear nonchalant, he grabs a new cup and fakes sipping at the diluted orange juice.
Just as Suho is enjoying what he believes is a rare moment between his crush - he sounds like a middle schooler when he is supposed to be 22 - and him, Amber's phone rings, the opening riff of Super Girl blaring.
Amber's eyes scan the caller ID and she rolls her eyes but the corners of her lips show a hint of a smile. She politely looks back to Suho.
"Sorry, can I pick up this call?" Amber says as she winces slightly at loud music.
"Sure, please do." Suho replies good naturedly.
Damn you, whoever who called, Suho fumes inside. I was having a delicate moment with the girl of my affections!
He strains his ears in an attempt to hear what Amber is whispering into the phone. There are a couple of 'shut up's, 'henry's, 'stop the cheese's and 'ew's.
Suho does not need to be a genius to figure out what was happening.
It was not much of a surprise though, he should have known. Even Kris has stopped trying to chase her. And Kris never backs down. The same with Key.
She is so popular with the guys but she doesn't know it.
What does Henry have that we don't? Suho sulks, childishly poking at his new juice cup while he vents his disappointment. Maybe I can't play the violin but I'm just as good looking.
Amber has stopped talking into the phone, Suho realises, but she is still listening to whatever Henry is saying on the other side of the receiver. There is a gentle, almost serene expression on her face. Her smile is still wide, wider even, and her eyes are glimmering with emotion. Happiness? Most likely.
As she smiles and listens, Suho finds the peaceful scene in front of him almost beautiful.
Suho may not know what Henry was saying, but he is definitely saying something right.
Now he knows why Kris and Key gave up on trying to get Amber for their own.
This beautiful girl has found her happiness and love in someone else. Though Suho wants her to himself, she wants her to keep that smile on her face. Henry can give that to her it seems, and he is satisfied enough.
Now he doesn't have to feel so shy anymore. Suho, calm. This girl is taken.
Perhaps he won't do something stupid again.
Amber ends her call just as Suho spills his entire cup of juice over the front of his Cosmopolitan tee.
So much for not being embarrassing.
a/n: there was a small rumour bouncing around on twitter about Suho, saying he used to have a crush on Amber. So I spazzed about for a while because damn, amber sure has a lot of guys going after her then I thought of that Cosmopolitan photoshoot and about Suho's awkwardness. And this fic was the result. :>
