Santana's point of view

I should've known.

I should've fucking known.

Taeyun adjusts his glasses, mind y'all they're fake. I can see the avengers logo on the side. I turn around to stare at my seven goofy husbands. Kihyun and Shownu looks genuinely mortified so maybe they weren't in on this.

Me: You said marriage counselor.
Jooheon: He is.
Kihyun: In what universe is Taeyun a marriage counselor?
Taeyun: Technically I have a certificate to prove it.

He pulls a piece of paper from a manila folder handing it to me. I deadpan.

Me: Certification is spelled wrong.

Shownu looks over my shoulder.

Shownu: And why is this so thin and faded?
Me: It's printer paper, from his damn printer that's running out of ink!

I give him back his phony certificate.

Taeyun: Listen, you guys are my closest friends besides Infinity. Your love keeps me going, so I'll be anything you need to keep you all together.

I smile softly. As unhinged as he is, Taeyun has always been super sweet and supportive of us. So if playing along makes him feel better I'll do it.

Me: Fine, let's get this over with.
Taeyun: Okay Santana step into my office and you boys will take turns coming in. It may be too overwhelming with all of you at once.

Maybe this won't be too bad after all.

"I can't say it in front of you Taeyun."

_____

Taeyun: I've heard that you two argue the most, why?

We look at each other.

Changkyun: We both have strong personalities so they clashes a lot. Ever since our communication got better, we've been better.

He holds my hand gently.

Taeyun: Thats boring I wanted the juicy scoop.
Me: Huh?
Taeyun: Oh nothing!

___

Taeyun: Do you think you love her the most?
Kihyun: I can't speak for the others but I know I love her more than I love myself.

My body warms up.

Taeyun: Santana do you think he loves you the most?
Me: I don't know, I will say I feel certain things deeper with Kihyun. He could just be better at expressing those feeling than the others.

____

Taeyun: Is it true you two clicked first?
Wonho: I think so. I had a crush on her the minute I saw her.
Me: Really?

He nods cutely.

Wonho: When Leroy introduced us to you I thought you were so beautiful. Then as I got to know you I was so sad thinking I wish we met in another life. However it worked out!
Me: It did!

____

Taeyun: Before Hyungwon, you actually had a baby with her first but it resulted in a miscarriage right?

Jesus Christ.

Taeyun: How do you feel after that? Did it put a damper on your relationship?

Shownu shakes his head.

Shownu: I know she blamed herself a lot for what happened and it made me sad she tried to hide them feelings from me. I never want you to feel like you have yo go through something alone for the sake of being strong.

He grabs my hand.

Shownu: You don't have to be strong with me, be vulnerable. I'll always take care of and protect you.

_____

After a few more sessions with the other guys, that surprisingly intense counseling was over for the day.

Minhyuk: That was surprisingly eye opening.
Jooheon: I know right, maybe he does have a calling for this kind of thing.
Hyungwon: I'm hungry. You guys wanna' grab some food?
Kihyun: I'm in the mood for burgers.

Changkyun swings his arm around Kihyun's shoulders.

Changkyun: Your treat?
Kihyun: It was my treat last time!
Changkyun: Fine, Minhyuk-Hyung will pay.
Minhyuk: Why me?
Jooheon: Because the youngest declared it. Let's go!

I smile.

Wonho: You okay baby?
Me: Yes!

I feel like we're going to be okay, more than okay.
