First Drabble Prev Drabble Next Drabble

Are you guys ready? For this drabble of 5000 words? <3

Get cozy. Because we are finally here <3 The long awaited meeting.

*----------------------*

Nightmare rubs his arm as he glances at his dads. None of them look happy about what is about to happen.

Dust notices him looking and relaxes his face “You ready?”

Nightmare frowns as he rubs his arm again. Checking his own outfit again. He is wearing his favourite pants. They are wide and have nice ribbons on the side and they are a soft pastel pink. It goes nicely with his bat hoody.

Nightmare shrugs before walking towards Dust’s side and relaxes a bit when he feels himself be picked up. Dust nuzzles the side of his skull “Ready?”

Nightmare feels a lot less sure and mutters “What if this is a bad idea?” He has no idea how Dream will react to him. What if this is a bad idea? What if Dream just looks at him and walks away? What if… what if nothing is different? What is Dream still hates him? Still attacks him? Even after everything?

Sure Dream now knew that Nightmare did what he had to do to fix the balance. But Nightmare doesn’t know if Dream even knows why Nightmare attacked the villagers. They fought so often and he never wanted to listen… Nightmare still isn’t sure if Dream will listen to him.

Sure… Dream knows the balance thing now. But that is probably just because some other god told him. Maybe Error and Ink… Not Nightmare… Dream didn’t listen to him and never wanted to listen to him. What would change now?

What if Dream only likes him now because he is small again? Now that he isn’t the… the evil that took his brother anymore? Would Dream even accept that past as a part of him? Would Dream just always hate a side of Nightmare?

Could Nightmare deal with that? Could he accept Dream hating a part of him just to have some love from his brother? Finally after so much time?

Dust pokes his cheek and Nightmare sees the worried look on his face “Nightlight?” and he gentle rubs away a tear from his cheek.

Oh.

Nightmare is quick to rub the other tears away and mutters “What if Dream still hates me?”

Dust frowns and rubs his skull before pulling the hood on “Then… he is an idiot.” Nightmare blinks and stares at Dust. Dust grins back “You are our tiny adorable babybones. Maybe I am biased but I am unsure how anyone could ever hate you.” and he gets another nuzzle.

Killer grins and gives him his own nuzzle “Oh we are very biased. Our little boss is perfect and can do no wrong.” Nightmare feels himself get embarrassed as he looks away.

Cross sighs as he pulls Killer back “Kills, you will get more goop on him and he just had his bath.” Cross carefully checks his face before nodding.

Killer wiggles his eyebrows at Cross “Bet you don’t mind getting some goop on your face.”

Cross looks very unimpressed at Killer before grabbing his hand and giving Killer a half bow as Cross kisses his knuckles. Cross looks up and winks at Killer “Maybe later when we are alone. If you behave.” Killer sputters and glows bright red.

Dust rolls his eyes “Not in front of Nightmare.” and he gets another nuzzle which Nightmare happily leans into.

Horror returns to their side and checks his outfit before nodding “Should be warm enough.”

Killer sighs “It is still warm out…”

Horror hums “Better be safe.”

“Mh. If you four were planning on being safe you wouldn’t even be meeting with Dream and Blue with him to begin with.”

Nightmare looks up excited “Error!”

Error has appeared in their kitchen and shoots him a tiny grin before glaring at the others “It is an unnecessary risk.” He crosses his arms.

Cross frowns “It is actually necessary. If we don’t do this meeting on our terms in another universe it is a matter of time before we are found here.”

Nightmare doesn’t like that. It would mean hiding all over again. He pushes close to Dust “I don’t want to move.”

Dust hums softly and nuzzles him “I know. We don’t want to move either.”

Nightmare nods and looks at his hands “Is this a bad idea?” He knows it is.

Dust hums “Not precisely… we are just worried.” He nuzzles him again “We don’t want to risk you. In any way.”

Nightmare sneaks a look but Dust looks honest. Dust keeps looking at him “Do you still want to do this?”. Nightmare just stares at Dust but Dust looks serious “I mean it. If you changed your mind and don’t want to do this. We will blow this whole thing off.”

Nightmare frowns and looks to the side “Won’t that cause trouble?”

Dust shrugs “Maybe but we can fix that.”

Error nods “I am already working on relocating this universe to other coordinates. Meaning you will soon be hidden again.”

Dust nods and nuzzles him “Nothing has to change. We don’t have to go. You don’t own them anything.” He just looks at him “You have already had to do too much Nightmare. It is fine to just put yourself first.”

Nightmare frowns as he thinks it over before looking back at Dust “I want to see him.” because even if he is afraid. Even if he knows Dream will just hate him. Even if he knows this will just hurt him. He wants to see Dream. He needs to know for sure. Know for sure where they stand.

Dust nods and looks at the others. Nightmare can see that Killer and Cross clearly are not happy. Horror looks worried and rubs his skull “If you want to leave. We leave. No questions asked.” Nightmare smiles and leans into the touch.

Horror smiles at him before shooting Killer, Cross and Error a look “We are going.” Cross grumbles unhappily but gets his knife ready to open the portal.

They walk through and into a forest. It is still warm out with only a light breeze. The leaves are all a beautiful range of yellows, oranges and reds and Nightmare just stares in awe. It is so pretty out here.

Cross and Killer quickly check the area before nodding. Horror looks at them amused “We are still ten minutes away from the meeting spot. Lets go.” he shoots Error a look “You coming?”

Error considers and shoots him a look before speaking “I will keep an eye out. In case stuff goes south I will quickly move you to another universe. Any preference as backup?”

Nightmare speaks without thinking “Ccino’s.”

Error needs a moment as he types before nodding “Easy enough. If anything goes wrong I will send you there. In the meantime I will work on the relocation.” And he steps into a glitchy portal and he is gone.

Sigh. Error is so cool. Nightmare will figure out how to hold his hand one of these days!

Horror joins Dust’s side and mumbles softly “Do you want any of us to hold him?”

Dust frowns as he looks at him for a long time. Clearly not wanting to let go of him. Before he sighs and looks at Cross “Cross? Can you hold him and stay out of sight?”

Cross smiles brightly and nods as he is by his side within seconds “I will make sure they can’t see him until you give me the signal.” Cross’s hold is different from Dust. Dust’s hold is always tight and so close. Cross’s hold is more gentle but still steady. Unmoving in the way he holds him.

Nightmare hums and leans against Cross.

Cross takes a deep breath and nothing seems to happen but Killer gives him the thumbs up “Invisible to see.” Dust looks less happy and shifts his sight around clearly searching.

Cross must see it too because he takes Dust’s hand and helps him find Nightmare’s. Dust immediately relaxes. Cross smiles brightly as he speaks cheerfully “At least with the walk we can do it like this.”

Dust looks thankful and mutters that he is.

They start walking and Nightmare enjoys the soft sunlight and warmth around him. He lets himself relax as he feels Cross’s soul nearby. Safe and sound.

They enter a clearance and Nightmare looks up only to freeze. That are Dream and Blue. He feels himself sink closer to Cross and Cross pulls him closer as well. Dust has sadly removed his hand but Nightmare is still close to one of his dads and that is enough.

Dream looks up eagerly and looks between those there. Then he frowns.

Blue frowns as well “Euh… where is Nightmare?”

Killer grins as he holds up a knife “Just making sure we got some ground rules first.”

Dream frowns as he gets up himself “We already discussed those. No one will learn of this meeting. This stays between us all. No aggression and no making any move to remove Nightmare from you.”

Nightmare just keeps leaning against Cross. Waiting.

Killer nods along “Yes exactly. Those are the rules we settled on. But you know. You never said what you would gain from speaking to Nightmare.” he grins and waits.

Dream blinks and looks down. Messing with his shirt “I just… I want to see him… say I am sorry…” he looks desperate “You want me to beg?! Because I will! Just… Tell me what you want!”

Killer looks at Dust and Dust shrugs. Horror turns slightly and nods into their general direction.

Cross nuzzles his skull and slowly becomes visible. Much to the obvious shock of Blue and Dream.

Dream looks confused at them and mutters “Why take your child along?” as he keeps looking around hopefully. Blue however stares at him and Nightmare stares back. Nightmare can see when it clicks for Blue.

Blue takes a sharp breath and takes a few steps back “Nightmare?”

Dream looks at Blue and sees where he is staring. And he stares at Nightmare. Nightmare can see that it just takes one look for Dream to realise who he is. Dream takes a sharp breath and is already four steps closer before he even mutters his name “Nighty?”

Killer stands between them and has his knife aimed at Dream’s throat “Don’t.”

Dust has his own blaster out and aimed at them and Horror just stands between them and the stars.

Blue holds up his hands “Okay… let’s calm down…” he pulls on Dream’s shoulder and makes him take a few steps back. Dream however just keeps staring at him “Easy Dream… Easy… deep breaths. Just take a moment.”

Dream however is shaking as he keeps staring at him. He glances at Nightmare’s dads between staring “How… How is he… Why is he? What did you four do?!”

Killer sputters and glares “We didn’t do shit-” Dust immediately hits his skull.

“Language.”

Killer grumbles but nods “Yeah yeah I know. Nightmare don’t copy that.”

Nightmare rolls his eyes but leans against Cross more as Cross snickers into his shoulder.

Killer rubs his own shoulder as he speaks “Again. We didn’t do anything. All we know is. That one day his apple and god related magic disappeared. And what was left was Nightmare in his full glory.” Killer stops and grins “Well. His true form at least.” He grins a Dream and the grin turned sharper “After all… The apple thing happened when he was six… You had time to grow up once you exited the stone didn’t you? When exactly was Nightmare supposed to grow up?”

Dream is breathing shallowly as he takes it in. His eyelights small and staring at him. Nightmare can’t look away.

Blue is the one who speaks “You mean… the whole time… Nightmare was actually…”

Dust speaks calmly “Six? Pretty much.”

Blue just stares ahead and laughs as he rubs his forehead “A six year old managed to outsmart most of the other gods and stay out of trouble for almost 500 years… what the hell.”

Dust and Killer both freeze and Nightmare huffs as he crosses his arms “Not exactly… I had more like… thinking space and stuff… I was better able to handle the magic and powers in that form…” he leans more against Cross “Not anymore.”

Cross coos and nuzzles him “Our little baby.”

Blue gives a slow nod, huh he is holding Dream’s hand and squeezing his hand to reassure him? Blue smiles “And now… the apple magic is gone?”

As soon as he says it Cross pulls him closer and takes three steps back. Dream makes a pained noise as he reaches for him “please… please don’t go…”

Everyone is still. Dream takes a shaking step closer “Nighty? Please… I am sorry. I am so sorry. I am sorry I didn’t listen to you. I am sorry I didn’t hear you out before… When I first joined the multiverse. It was stupid of me to believe the words of those I just met over you. It was stupid of me to not even hear you out and I am sorry. I swear. I swear I have been working on fixing it. I made sure everyone knows it was my fault and that you helped them.”

Dream takes another step closer and Nightmare can hear all four of his dads growl at him.

Dream just continues talking “I am sorry… For way back too… I should have.. I should have stayed with you with the tree… I found a copy of our story… I know now… I swear. I swear I didn’t know. If I had known what they did I wouldn’t have left you! I swear!” he smiles.

Nightmare doesn’t know what to do. What to feel. It is… isn’t this what he wanted? Dream sees he is wrong. Dream is saying he would have been there for him if he had known… Then why does he still doubt it?

Nightmare frowns as he looks away from Dream and leans more against Cross again and speaks “You are just saying that because I am like this again…” there!

Dream shakes his skull “No! I swear it isn’t! I wanted to talk to you for this reason. To apologise!” he takes another few steps closer and Horror remains as a living wall between him and Cross and Nightmare. Dream stares desperate “I swear. I swear on my soul that I didn’t know and I was planning on saying all of this already.” He looks back at Blue.

Blue sees it and nods “It is true! He has been trying to find you for a year now. Well longer even! As soon as we found the storybook in Dreamtale. He has been wanting to talk to you. Before we even figured out the balance business! I swear and I promise this is the truth.”

Nightmare frowns as he stares at them both. Blue is a rather honest person… He looks at his dads for reference.

Cross sees him look and pulls him close as he mutters softly “I think he is being honest…” Cross did spend the most time with the Stars before he joined Nightmare…

He looks at Horror and Horror still seems calm. The fact Horror doesn’t have his weapon out yet says a lot about what he thinks about the situation. Killer and Dust still look unhappy but both of them are always unhappy when it comes to anyone being near him.

Dream rubs his hands and looks at them begging “Can I… Maybe… It would be amazing… And I get if you don’t want to but.” He takes a deep breath “Nighty… can I please hug you?”

Cross freezes and takes four steps back. A blink and a loud distressed noise leaves Dream as he looks around searching. Oh… Cross made them both invisible.

Dust growls as he stalks towards Dream. Lightning and electricity crackling loudly “You have some fucking nerve. After all the pain and problems you caused.”

Blue looks shocked as he mutters “Acolytes…”

Nightmare frowned. He isn’t sure what Blue means. They are just them…

Horror looks very unimpressed as Killer just laughs loudly “Really?! Still trying to steal him?! Like this?! You don’t even try to make it subtle.” And he shakes his skull.

Dream looks desperate “I am not trying to steal him! I just want to hug my twin!” he holds himself as tears leak from his optics “I miss him… I have missed him so much. All because I was too dumb and too blind to look at the facts. I just want to hold him. Hug him…” he looks at them begging “Just once. Please. Just… just tell me what you want!”

Killer huffs and looks unimpressed but Dust lets the electricity slowly shimmer down again.

Nightmare frowns before looking at Cross. Cross sees him look and looks panicked “You don’t need to.”

Nightmare rubs his arm and mutters softly “I want to.” Silence around them and yeah Nightmare figured everyone would hear.

Cross looks deeply unhappy but sighs before bringing their skulls together. Then he slowly walks over to Dream and Blue as Dream just looks so damn hopeful.

Killer steps between them “Yeah. We are putting in some insurance. Blue. Over there.” Blue blinks but nods as he walks to the side. Killer nods to Dust and Dust summons a loaded blaster aimed at Blue.

Blue freezes and looks a whole lot more nervous “euh….”

Killer grins “Insurance!” he grins widely at Dream “You make a single move to steal our babybones and your bestie will be turned into dust.” He winks cheeky “Understood?”

Dream looks horrified at Blue but so wishful at him “I… I… You can’t… Blue…”

Blue frowns as he looks up “You only shoot when he tries to leave with him right?”

Dust nods. Blue nods again and grins at Dream “It is fine Dream. Just stay with them and get your hug.”

Dream looks shocked but then so hopeful at him. Cross gets close and pulls him slightly away from him. Dream has his arms out and they shake lightly. Dream lets out a pained noise and Nightmare suddenly regrets giving that apple magic back to his cat version. Seeing as now the scars on his skull are very obvious.

One pass later and Dream is holding him. Dream just stares in shock at him “You looks exactly the same… except” tears leave his sockets and Dream just hugs him fully against him. Before he crumbles to the ground and Nightmare hears and feels Dream cry against him as he mutters stuff to him As he light as a feather strokes the scars on his skull.

“Nighty.”

“I missed you so much.”

“I am sorry.”

“I am so so so sorry.”

“I swear I will be better.”

“It is so good to see you.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you so much.”

“I love you.”

That is the one that makes him freeze and react “No you don’t.”

Silence and Dream pulls away from his hug to look at him. Not permitting him even an inch to move away. Nightmare just looks down “You don’t love me.” That he knows at least.

Dream shakes and shakes his skull “I do love you.”

Nightmare rolls his eye lights as he mutters “You only say that because I look like this… If I had still been an adult you would have still hated me.”

Dream shakes his skull and just holds him close “I always loved you. I swear. I know I haven’t been a good brother. I know I failed in everything that makes a brother a brother and I swear I will do better. But I always loved you Nightmare.”

Nightmare looks to the side “You tried to kill me.” He still has nightmares of Dream attacking him.

Dream sniffs and sobs “I know. And I am so sorry and I swear I thought it was the only thing I could do.” he pulls back and brings their foreheads softly together “It… it is okay.” he sobs but keeps speaking “It is okay… if you hate me… forever. I would… it would be deserved. For everything I did. But I need… I need you to know. I always loved you. I swear to you.”

Nightmare just stares at him. He isn’t sure what Dream sees on his face but it must be that Nightmare doesn’t believe him as he just keeps crying. Dream rolls up as far around him as he can and just sits there. Sobbing as he mutters more apologise and love declarations. Promises to be better and do everything in his power to prove it.

The hug… is very nice though. Nightmare is surprised by how nice the hug feels.

Most shocking is that his soul recognises Dream’s soulbeat. It is so much like his own but slightly off rhythm. But unlike with his dads. His soul doesn’t move to match it. They just beat together, slightly out of sync.

Dream seems to notice as well as he holds him closer and Nightmare can hear him try to do some of those breathing exercises to calm his soulbeat. Nightmare can feel how Dream’s soul starts to beat a slightly different speed but it doesn’t change much.

Dream sobs and laughs softly “Why… why don’t they match anymore? They… they should match. They always matched.”

Horror huffs “Because his soul has other bonds to count on now. Nightmare isn’t depended on you Dream. And he hasn’t for a long time.”

Dream freezes and looks up shocked. Dream’s eyes shoot between Nightmare’s dads before turning back to stare at him.

Nightmare isn’t sure what to say. He however makes eye contact with Killer and reaches a hand for him. Killer is by their side immediately and grins at Dream “Well time to return tiny boss to us!”

Dream shakes slightly and Nightmare feels his grip tighten on him but after just one more very close hug Dream clearly forces himself to let go of him. Nightmare is back in Killer’s arms within seconds and it feels nice to be near the other soul again. Nightmare immediately starts to relax and feels his soul start to follow Killer’s rhythm.

Killer coos and Nightmare feels him walk away a bit. By the time he actually takes a moment to open his sockets again he is already back by his dads and Blue and Dream are standing side by side.

Blue has this soft look on his face but Dream… Dream just stands there shaking and staring at him. His hands close to his chest and tears clearly in his sockets.

Nightmare frowns and turns to be close to Killer. Trying to hide. Killer notices and immediately hugs him closer and shifts his hold. Hiding him a bit. Nightmare relaxes as he feels a bit safer.

Dust hums and shrugs “Well. You saw him. Goodbye.” And he turns around.

Dream shouts “Wait!”

Dust glares at him but Dream doesn’t glare back. He just looks begging “Please… please… I can’t… please there has to be some way I can keep seeing Nighty?”

Dust raises a brow “And what exactly could you do for him?”

Dream flinches as he rubs his arms while hugging himself “I am his brother… his twin… We are gods I can… I know I can help him… I can take care of him… I actually got information from gods and know what is going on.” He smiles hopefully.

But Nightmare just feels cold. He doesn’t want to be away from his dads!

Dust just laughs before glaring “If you think for even a second any of us trust you with our babybones you are wrong.”

Dream blinks and glares “I am his brother.”

Dust laughs “And what a good brother you have been. What? Haven’t done enough target practise yet? Or did you already conveniently forget that you had been shooting arrows at Nightmare since the first moment you saw him after you woke up from the stone?”

Dream flinches and shakes his skull “Yes- I mean No! I know that but-”

Dust just walks closer. Electricity crackling “Okay. Then you forgot about the fact that you spread rumours and lies about Nightmare? How you assumed what he was doing and spread that misinformation around? Making his job much more difficult?”

Dream shakes his skull “I know! I told others I was wrong and have righted that wrong and-”

Dust grins sharply “Or better yet. At the very start. When you didn’t believe him when he told you those villagers hurt him. How your first instinct when you saw him after your mother died was to attack him.”

Dream flinches again.

“Dust enough!”

Dust blinks and looks over. Cross stands behind him and pulls on his arm. “Enough.”

Nightmare doesn’t get it. Why-

Oh…

He is shaking… and crying.

Dust sees it and slowly walks closer and rubs his cheek “sshh… shh… it is okay… none of that will ever happen again… we won’t let it.” Nightmare holds an arm out to Dust and Killer easily hands him over to Dust. Nightmare relaxes a bit. It is familiar and safe.

Killer sounds very calm as he speaks “You lost any right to take care of him or watch over him long ago Dream. The things you fixed? That were things that needed fixing. That was your job to fix as you ruined them to begin with. But just because you fixed your own mistakes doesn’t mean that we or Nightmare have to trust you.”

Dream looks to the side and Blue rubs his arm as he speaks “Dream just missed him. I know I know very rich coming from him but… even if it isn’t possible for Dream to take care of him and I get it. You guys have been through a lot.”

Dream looks ready to go against it but Blue just shakes his skull at him “You need time to actually process all of this as well Dream.” Blue turns back to them “But… wouldn’t it be nice for both of them to at least get the chance to see each other? To talk? To maybe slowly start to mend their broken bond?”

This time Nightmare can see all his dads exchange looks.

Blue smiles “Just… please just think about it… I know you wouldn’t do it or agree to it for Dream… But maybe it is nice for Nightmare? To give him the ability and chance to get this bond back?” Blue looks hesitant but keeps talking “I know a lot happened. And that will leave scars… But isn’t it better to at least be able to mend that bond a little? To at least feel safe near each other?”

Nightmare frowns as he pushes close to Dust. Dust nuzzles him.

Blue nods “It is a lot… and I get you need space…” he shoots Dream a look “You both need space. Time to think and consider. Which we will give.”

Dream looks up pained “Blue no! I searched for so long and-”

Blue smiles sadly at Dream “Dream I know. I know this hurts… And I know you want this so badly and you missed him. But you need to let him make his choice. You know he is safe. You know he is healthy.” And he looks at him “Isn’t that enough for now? Wasn’t that the whole goal?”

Dream looks lost before shooting him another look “Yeah… yeah it was… I am sorry… I just…”

Blue laughs and nudges their shoulders together “It is a lot. Your mind is going a mile per second and you are terrified of messing up again so you are trying to fix things right away. Take a moment Dream.” And Blue grins at them “We really are happy you guys are okay. Especially after everything came to light.”

Killer looks very mistrusting at them but gives a slow nod “Take a moment to process this.” He shoots them a look and Nightmare can see Killer stare at him for a moment. Then Killer sighs as he rubs his skull “Fucking hell.”

“Language.”

Most surprising. That came from five sources. Nightmare looks over and sees both Dream and Blue look disapproving at Killer.

Killer looks so unimpressed at them “Seriously?”

Blue shrugs “He is six… at least now…”

Killer sighs but nods “Anyway! We are going home… Take a moment to pull yourselves together and also don’t try to find where we live anymore. It is creepy… Also you don’t want to deal with the backstory we made up for us there.”

Blue looks curious “What is the backstory?”

Dust answers very unamused “Killer made it up. Nightmare is mine biologically and there was a bad ex.”

Horror looks highly amused “Which… you two caused quite the stir because well… There is no denying Dream and Nightmare look alike and red plus blue equals purple.” And he waits.

Blue and Dream look shocked.

Dust looks so done with everything “You still own me Killer.”

Killer grins and winks “Anything you want dear. Tonight fitting your schedule?”

Cross coughs “Anyway! We are going...”

Blue looks highly embarrassed “Thanks for the warning…”

Killer snorts “Not like it matters anymore. Error should be done with relocating the universe by now.”

Dream shoots upright “Error is doing what?!”

Killer grins and nods “Hiding us again to keep rude visitors out! Talking about Error. Hey dude ready to pull us out?”

A window in the sky opens and Error looks out unamused “Only emergency. Do it yourself.”

Dream however glares at Error “You knew?! You knew the whole time where he was?! That he was okay?!”

Error raises a brow at Dream “Obviously.”

Nightmare however is more focussed on Error “Error!” and he waves.

Error blinks and snorts but waves back “Nightmare.”

Nightmare beams.

Blue gasps “Oh that is adorable.” Dream however glares very angerly at Error.

Cross at this point cuts the universe fabric “Okay we are going. All through.” Dust goes first.

They appear back in their home and Nightmare pouts at Cross “Why did we leave? Error was there.”

Cross looks amused “Because you are still grounded so no hanging out with Error until the being grounded is done.”

Nightmare pouts but a yawn breaks through. Dust hums and nuzzles his skull “Nap time?”

Nightmare nods as he pushes closer to Dust. This is nice.

First Drabble Prev Drabble Next Drabble

[draagu]

you'll never guess what i did today

(outer wilds!)

i beat the game! haha >:D

and wow! i dont really think i have the words to describe how i feel after all that ghsad

it was all so surreal and just amazing

but! ill start with the rundown of what i did today :)

started by going to the nomai graveyard in the dark bramble, it wouldve been nice to have actually gone there before my first venture to the vessel but i managed i suppose

then went to the vessel to try out the coords, but surprise surprise it wasnt powered. I was able to make the "theres more the explore here" thing go away though, so that was a good sign

then went back to the ember twin and finally went to the lakebed cave. i had already found out myself the whole being in the dark + quantum stuff thing but it was nice to officially learn it i suppose. also the skeletons in there are silly

then! went to the ash twin in my attempts to make it inside the ash twin project. came to the conclusion that it was probably with one of the towers based off what i read about the warp pad in there and lo and behold, i waas right

really cool stuff there! but you know what the coolest part was? the advanced warp core of which i of course snatched.

this was the point where i was like, yeah, this is it

soo shoutout to good awesome wonderful fren drama (hi! if you are reading this :D), they wanted to watch me complete it.

but first! they helped me out with the quantum moon and the sixth location, and wow! was in the hopes i would be able to talk to a nomai somewhere during the very beginning, and my wishes came true. now i have 1/6 of a new fren and had some nice conversations

after a little interruption, is was time to beat it!

got the warp core again, went through hell, powered up the vessel, entered the coords, and bam, the eye of the universe

again, wow :'D

really had no words for what i was seeing at the time, and still don't, it was just amazing

per request of fren i shot my little scout buddy up first and then cannonballed my way through after it

seeing the museum again, being in the woods, seeing all the supernovas, gathering everyone together for one final song ouhgheasdeffhsas,,,,,

and then we start anew!

im just, wowed, by absolutely everything. i may not be able to verbally express it audibly or with text, but, just, it was awesome man

i see why everyone wishes they could play the game again for the first time, it really is a peak example of one of those games

but hey, i got to see everything-besides hollows lantern but we ignore that um- and im just glad i played the game in the first place

after everything, drama helped guide me to the silly endings-which. truly, the kazoo credits were the most emotional song- met myself and screamed at myself, n broke the fabric of reality twice!

all n all, amazing game, will be forcing all my friends to play it

umm expect some art of it most likely, unsure how spoilering it will have to happen so if anyone has any recommendations besides tags do let me know

and see you next time for the dlc! :)

@dramaticuser hiya if you wanna see

[pies-writes-and-more]

hello christinaaaa!!! i know no one asked but we have the same name 👁👄👁 except mine doesn't have an 'h' :'D

anywaaayy, is it alright if i request tsukishima, kageyama, iwaizumi, and akaashi with a fem!s/o who's really tiny and is very clingy🥺👉👈 she likes sitting in their laps (in a non-sexual way) and holding on to their arms, or just clutching a part of their clothes😖 she'd always steal their jerseys too😼

then during the boys' practice, she'd jump on them and hug them—arms and legs tightly wrapped around them like a koala🥺 the boys would try and pry her off but that just makes her nuzzle even more, so they give up wahhchhshf

their teammates would give the two of you confused looks because-

you're attached onto him

he's walking around the gym with you just clinging to him

he's acting like it's nothing new

IM SO SO SORRY IF IT'S TOO MUCH OR TOO MUCH DETAIL, i got carried away because i thought it's a super cute idea🥺😖 if you end up doing this, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUU!!! :'D 💞

pairing: tsukishima kei, kageyama tobio, iwaizumi hajime, akaashi keiji, & ushijima wakatoshi x fem!reader

warnings: flufffyyyyy - a somewhat clingy gf and her adorable bf just being cute babies. probably some swearing, not really proofread im sorry haha

a/n: omg hiiiii cristina!!!!! thank you so much for sending a request in :D i hope you’ll come by more often name-twin! i received this ask and IMMEDIATELY SQUEALED because thIS IS JUST SO CUTE! I wanted to do this super quick but haven't had a chance to sit down and write until now so I hope you like it! Also I added some Ushijima in there because the idea of a clingy!gf with ushijima is just too much for me to pass up haha. I'm sorry if this wasn't exactly how you wanted it! I tried to change things up a bit to make sure it wasn't just the same thing over and over again :) Also I’m sorry that you can tell that I love Tsukishima so very much LOL i’m bias I know it’s awful haha I hope the other ones are good too though!! Enjoy!

haikyuu masterlist

If you had told Tsukishima that he would have a super clingy girlfriend one day, he'd probably just make that 'tch' sound and talk away with you, in disbelief that anyone would ever think he would put up with clingy.

But then he met you. You, who was all things soft and sweet, rounded edges where his were sharp, a smile where he had a scowl. You were everything that he shouldn't have and yet, you still loved him. He wasn't quite sure why and for the first part of your relationship, Tsukishima tried to keep you at an arm's distance.

But your love language was physical touch and you always had some sort of hold on him. If you were walking somewhere and Tsukishima's hands were tucked into his pockets, you'd hold the edge of his jacket, walking around like this was normal. He tried to walk faster at first, seeing if it would make you drop his jacket, but you didn't and instead just smiled all the same.

Tsukishima loved you, which is why he always tried to keep you away from him. He didn't want to start trying to make you happy and then realize that all that effort was for nothing. High school relationships didn't always end well anyways so what was the point in trying?

But you were just so soft, so kind, asking over and over again to hold his hand when the two of you walked home together until one day, he grabbed your hand first. Jumping on him for a hug after not seeing him for a while, always catching him by surprise and knocking a breath from his lungs, until one day, he actually dropped his bag and opened his arms for you first.

You watched Tsukishima fall in love with you, his smile becoming just slightly softer than it used to be.

But even if you noticed all these things (and Yamaguchi did too), the team was completely clueless when it came to it.

You had peeked into the gym, noticing that practice was going just a bit later than it usually did, surprised to find that Coach Ukai and Takeda were gone. Instead, it was just the team, Tsukishima standing across the gym from you and drinking his water while speaking to Yamaguchi.

"Tsukishima!" You grinned, hopping through the balls flying through the air and jumping right onto him.

The blond boy hadn't expected you to still be at school, or else he would've left when practice was supposed to end. But here you were, gripping onto him like your life depended on it.

"O-Oi! Get off, everyone's staring!" Tsukishima hissed at you, trying to push you off but you pouted and climbed up on his back further.

"Oh so because your team is watching, I don't get a hug?" You huffed, shaking your head. That would not do.

"Y/N, you're being annoying," Tsukishima insisted, trying to swat at your head from behind his.

"Well annoying is nothing new in my personality. You'll just have to kiss me to make me let go!" You giggled, hugging his neck now and burying your face into it as you seated yourself in a piggyback position.

You felt Tsukishima's body relax a little as he sighed, shaking his head.

"Is... that a girl?" Hinata mumbled to Kageyama, both of them staring at Tsukishima like he had just complimented them or grown a second head.

"Tsukishima seems so annoyed," Tanaka cackled, pointing and laughing at his underclassman for having such a clingy girlfriend.

"Kiyoko, if you ever wanted to get a piggyback ride from me, I'd let you!" Noya screamed across the gym to which Kiyoko just said,

"No thank you."

"How're you, Y/N?" Yamaguchi asked with a laugh, finding it oddly amusing at how quickly Tsukishima seemed to surrender to you.

"I'm good!" You beamed, ruffling up Tsukishima's hair and making him groan more in annoyance. "I just missed my dino loving nerd."

"You're impossible," Tsukishima sighed as the two of you laughed, not bothering to hold onto you as he walked across the gym since you already seemed to have such a strong hold on him.

"Daichi," Suga called out through a fit of laughter, holding onto Asahi as the two of them tried to hold back their chuckles. "Is it just me or... does Tsukishima look like this isn't a new occurrence to him?"

Daichi laughed along, smirking over at his first year, "Well from what I hear, Y/L/N Y/N really has Tsukishima in the palm of her hand."

Tsukishima tried to avoid looking his teammates in the eye, a blush creeping all the way up from his neck to the tips of his ears as he brought you outside the gym.

"Off," he demanded and you pouted, sliding off his back slowly.

"Only cause you'll kiss me, now that we're not in front of your team," you teased and he just rolled his eyes, pushing you against the gym wall slightly and leaning down to peck your lips.

"Whatever," he mumbled, kissing you again, because he hadn't realized how much he missed you.

"Aww Tsukishima Kei's all red," you giggled, straightening out his gym shirt. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you that much. I just feel like I haven't seen you in forever so I got all excited seeing you!"

"I saw you at lunch, Y/N," he pointed out, but smiled anyway because he never knew someone this annoying could also be this cute.

You waved away his point, shaking your head, "Still! It's been a very long time. I like my attention you know."

"Oh trust me, I know," he gave a chuckle, flicking you in the head gently. "Give me a few more minutes and we can walk home okay?"

"Mm okay. But only after one more kiss."

And Tsukishima wasn't going to say no to that.

Kageyama was very embarrassed at first to even just be in the same room as you. Regardless of the fact that he confessed his feelings to you and you had accepted them, he still felt very awkward with you. He wasn't sure what exactly was appropriate and what wasn't. Should he grab your hand? Should he interlace your fingers with his? Should he kiss you?

When should do it? Was it weird to do it in front of everyone? Should everything be kept until marriage?

But Kageyama soon learned that if he didn't grab for your hand, you would grab for his. You'd be quick to lace your fingers in between his, smiling up at him like you belonged there. And you did.

He liked to hold onto your hand so he never rejected you when you tried to grab him. Sometimes you'd hold onto his arm, hugging it tight to your body and Kageyama actually would consider thinking about something that wasn't volleyball.

Hinata and you had similar characteristics, though if anyone actually brought this up to Kageyama, he'd deny it until his voice was gone. You were this bright sunlight, smiling every time you caught his eye, bouncing around with unlimited energy and always finding someway to be with him.

Kageyama was no longer worried about what people thought because you never seemed worried. And if you, someone who was so good at reading others and so adept at smiling and talking to people, didn't seem worried about it, then why should he?

You quickly learned that if you wanted to see Kageyama and he wasn't answering his texts, he was probably practicing volleyball. Most weekends, you'd walk with him to the school gym and do your homework in the library or even in the corner of the court, just so you could been in the same vicinity. Plus, you loved watching your boyfriend play volleyball so what could go wrong?

Hinata and Kageyama had been practicing their quick attack all morning, barely taking a few moments to breathe, let alone drink anything.

"Oi! If you two don't drink anything, you'll collapse from exhaustion!" Daichi pointed out, throwing their water bottles at them.

The two waddled over to your corner, Hinata asking you about your homework as they downed some fluids.

"Just some math problems," you sighed, tapping your pencil against your notebook. "Though I'm getting kinda bored of it."

"Did you want to go home? I can walk you," Kageyama offered and you smiled, knowing that if you took him up on that, he'd just walk right back here to keep practicing.

"No that's okay! I like watching you practice!" You explained, standing up and giving your limbs a stretch. You moved to hug him, snaking your arms around his waist and squeezing him gently. "Are you guys feeling excited for the next game?"

Hinata nodded eagerly, jumping up and down as he explained to you who they were going to be playing and the players that he knew of.

You watched the two of them talk for a moment before jumping onto Kageyama's back with a smile, the boy stumbling a little at the surprise, "Y-Y/N! Don't do that! You could've fallen!" Kageyama yelled at you, frowning tightly as he turned to see how triumphant you looked on his back.

"But look! Now I'm almost as tall as Tsukishima!" You giggled, wiggling your arms up in the air.

"Amazing. Not only does the King have a girlfriend. But he hasn't thrown her onto the floor yet," Tsukishima scoffed making Yamaguchi giggle behind him.

"Kageyama, do you want to try the quick again?" Hinata asked suddenly, tossing his water bottle away.

Kageyama nodded, looking over at you with a raised brow, "What? Are you going to sit there all day?"

"What? Are you going to make me get off?" You teased, sticking a tongue out at him.

Kageyama considered this but wondered if he could manage to do decent enough sets with you on his back. It would be like a sort of stamina training.

So he did, shrugging it off like it was no big deal that his girlfriend was just attached to his back like a koala.

"It's never a dull moment with these first years huh?" Asahi laughed a little, watching as Kageyama and you struggled to keep a balance.

"She makes him look less scary I think," Sugawara laughed. "He hasn't glared too harshly at Hinata the whole time she was around."

"I'm just surprised he didn't toss her back on the floor when Hinata asked him if he wanted to play more," Daichi admitted, chuckling. Their little Kageyama had finally found something worth at least the same as volleyball in his mind, if not more.

Akaashi was everything you could possibly want in a boyfriend - he was so kind but he would tell you exactly what he felt with his sometimes blunt words. He was very calm and serious, but he had such a fun side to him and you watched as he and Bokuto would get up to some crazy thing when they weren't super busy.

You loved him and you loved being by his side whenever you could. At the team movie nights, you'd crawl into his lap and he would hold you there, sometimes forgetting to even pay attention to the movie because you were just so comfortable. At trips to the convenience stores, you'd swing your hands around together, grinning up at him with the cutest smile because you were living your life however you wanted to live it, regardless of how people saw you.

Akaashi knew you were clingy, though he wasn't sure he liked the sometimes negative connotation that came with that word. He knew you liked to be held, so sometimes he'd hold you in front of him while talking to your friends, and he knew you liked it when he played with your hair so he found his fingers dancing along your strands while the two of you attempted to study together. Before meeting you, Akaashi wouldn't have ever thought he was a physical touch kind of guy, but now, it almost felt unnatural to not have you around him.

He should've expected you to do this sooner, though even now while it was happening, Akaashi could feel his cheeks burning a bit. You had climbed onto his back and gripped tight as he walked to the gym, insisted you'd come with him.

"You want to come to my practice?" He repeated, shifting your weight onto his back so he could hold you better, walking to the gyms.

"Mhm! Is that okay?"

Akaashi didn't think there was a problem with it so he agreed, but you were refusing to get off his back even as he entered the gym.

The Fukurodani volleyball team watched as their normally calm and cool setter waddled in with a smiley girl on his back, the two of you laughing at something he had said.

Akaashi wasn't ashamed of you at all, but he would never get used to how his teammates stared when they were interested in something.

"Is that Akaashi's girlfriend?" Komi gaped, nudging Washio in his side to make sure he was listening.

"Who else would it be?" Bokuto laughed, grinning widely as he watched the two of you waddle your way into the gym.

Akaashi glanced over at the team, giving them a little wave like this was just an every day occurrence that he came into the gym with a girl on his back.

"Okay I gotta practice now," he tried to tell you, attempting to coax you off his back.

"Nooooo," you whined, smiling at him and hugging him just a bit tighter. "Just a bitttt longer."

Akaashi sighed, knowing he was very bad at saying no to you, especially because it wasn't like he wanted to let go of you either, "Promise I'll give you a piggyback ride all the way home," he offered, bending down so you wouldn't have to jump off of him.

"Mm, okay," you shrugged, stepping off and smiling up at him as he stood up straight. "Promise?" You asked, sticking out your pinky finger to him.

The team wanted to laugh a little at just how corny the two of you seemed - who actually acted like this in public?

"I mean, it's not like any of you have girlfriends to be like this with so can you really laugh?" Shirofuku pointed out with a smirk, Suzumeda laughing behind her.

"Hey! We would be great boyfriends!" Konoha insisted with a frown, Bokuto nodded in agreement.

"The best!" The ace added with a huge grin on his face, the team suddenly thinking that what Akaashi would do for you wasn't as silly as previously thought.

Meanwhile Akaashi just smiled at you, pressing a kiss to your forehead before linking his pinky with yours, "Promise. Now go sit and do your homework okay? Maybe we can watch some of that anime you were talking about after practice."

You nodded eagerly, pecking his cheek happily before sitting over where the managers tended to hang out, talking to them with a bright smile on your face.

"Man, you are whipped," Konoha chuckled as Akaashi made his way over.

Akaashi wasn't sure if he agreed with the teasing tone that Konoha said it in but shrugged, glancing over at you, "If you mean that I love her and would do anything for her, then sure. I'm whipped for her."

Iwaizumi was the last person that Oikawa would ever expect to put up with such a touchy clingy girlfriend. At first, Iwaizumi would avoid bringing you around and Oikawa would sulk in his little corner, claiming, "We're a team, Iwa, how are we supposed to trust each other if you won't even introduce us to your special girl?"

Iwaizumi knew his sniffles were fake, shoving his aside with a shake of his head, "Stop being so dramatic, Shitty-kawa. You'll meet her eventually."

"When?" Oikawa grinned, poking at his best friend's arm. "Tomorrow? You could bring her to practice?"

Iwaizumi was going to tell him to shove off and say that it would happen when it happened but Oikawa grabbed his arm quickly, gaping at the new accessory on Iwaizumi's wrist.

"What is this? Ooooo Iwa's got a love bracelet!" Oikawa laughed, admiring the handiwork.

"Oh shove off," Iwaizumi huffed but wiggled the bracelet off and tucked it away with his belongings. "Y/N got it for me."

"Ya know, I didn't think you'd be such a softie, Iwa," Yahaba chuckled. "She must be pretty special to make our ace so kindhearted."

"She's... everything," Iwaizumi admitted with a blush on his cheeks before their Coach interrupted, starting practice.

He couldn't help but think of you the whole time though. He hadn't told Oikawa that you'd be coming by to walk with him over to his place tonight to get to know his family. He wasn't really sure why he hadn't brought it up when Oikawa asked but he wondered if he should just call it off.

"Iwaaa?" You called, peering into the gym as you noticed the sound of flying volleyballs dying down. You watched as head after head turned to the sound of your voice, Iwaizumi's the last to see you as he was all the way across the gym.

"Y/N," his normally stoic face turned into a smile as he caught your eye, you running over to him and leaping into his arms for a tight hug. "A-Are you okay?" He laughed, stumbling backwards to keep the two of you from falling. "You gotta be careful, darling."

"Sorry, I just got excited to see you!" You giggled, smiling up at him.

The two of you conversed with you still hugging him tightly, your arms and legs wrapped around him and Iwaizumi just standing there like this happened all the time.

"She's cute!" Watari grinned, watching you two laugh together.

"I was honestly starting to think Iwaizumi made her up," Matsukawa admitted with a laugh, Hanamaki joining in.

"So this is our Iwa's little angel hm?" Oikawa called out, walking over to you two with a smile. "Nice to meet you!"

"Oh hello!" You smiled up at him, giving a little wave but still managing to hug Iwa close. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt practice."

"No no, it's okay. Meeting you is far more important. Got any dirt to spill on little Iwa over here?"

"Crappy-Kawa, shut up," Iwaizumi rolled his eyes, giving his friend a punch in the arm. "You can't go asking my girlfriend for gossip."

"Aw why not? What's the fun in getting to know her then if not to join forces and make fun of you?" Oikawa asked, sticking out his tongue at the ace.

"I'll try to come up with something, don't worry," you fake-whispered to Oikawa, laughing as he nodded with a huge smile.

"I gotta keep practicing, love," Iwaizumi said after a moment, attempting to pry your fingers off of him.

"Whyyy," you gave a little pout, just tightening your grip.

"Cause we've got a big game coming up and I wanna be the coolest ace ever so you can brag to your friends about your boyfriend," Iwaizumi teased, poking your nose. "Now come on, let go."

"What's the password?" You giggled.

"Please?"

"Nope!"

"I'll buy you ice cream?"

"Nuh uh."

Iwaizumi sighed, glancing at his teammates who seemed to be eager in watching this interaction, before turning back to you and gently placing a soft kiss to your lips, "Happy?" He asked, acting like he was all frustrated but still smiling at you.

"Mm I guess I'll accept it. The real password was I love you, but that'll do," you beamed, hopping off of him and giving his hair a good ruffle. "Go do your best!"

Iwaizumi nodded, jogging off to the rest of the team to finish practice. He'd watch you as the time passed, you sending him thumbs up and cheering for them all really making him want to be the best boyfriend he could ever be. Just for you.

Ushijima didn't really tell anyone about his relationship with you. It didn't really seem like an important topic when the team was playing volleyball, but it wasn't like he had tried to hide you. When Tendō jokingly asked him at lunch if he was looking for anything romantic, Ushijima answered as blunt as possible, "I'm already in a relationship so no."

Tendō seriously thought he was joking, until he remembered that Ushijima didn't really joke all that much. He asked as many questions as he could possibly think of, begging to meet you sometime because he wanted to know what kind of girl a volleyball monster like Ushijima was attracted to.

Ushijima hadn't really thought about ever bringing you to practice. You were always very touchy, always wanted to hold his hand or his arm, sometimes you'd just put your hand in his jacket pocket so you could be closer to him. He didn't have a problem with it, in fact, he always thought you were angry at him if you weren't touching him. But he didn't want to have you have to touch him while he was all sweaty and gross.

Maybe before practice then, he decided, finding you inbetween classes and standing over your desk, intimidating all the other students around you. "Would you like to come to my practice later?"

You just stared at him in confusion because you had always thought practice was like a No Trespassing area for you, "S-Sure, if you want me to, Ushijima," you nodded slowly.

He gave you what seemed like a small smile, patting your head affectionately, "Good. Tendō said he would like to meet you."

And with that he left, giving you a small wave as he disappeared into the hallway. You were left with all your classmates asking you questions, as well as your own questions like why did Ushijima suddenly want you at practice and why did Tendō want to meet you?

Ushijima came to get you after classes, the two of you taking the long way to the gyms as you giggled and goofed off with him just smiling at your side.

"Ushiiii," you sang, jumping onto his back as high as you could get. "Why did you want me to come to your practice today?"

Ushijima shifted you on his back, not even stumbling at your sudden weight on him, "Tendō pointed out that it may seem like I was keeping you a secret. But I'm not," he explained as he walked the two of you to the gyms. "I don't want you to be a secret."

You considered this and smiled, nuzzling your face into his neck happily before pressing a kiss to his cheek, "I wouldn't mind being your secret, Ushijima, but it would be nice to meet your teammates since you're with them all the time!"

Tendō felt his jaw drop as he watched Ushiwaka, this big serious student who looked like he could be in college already, wander in with this girl on his back, her giggles echoing in the gym as he dropped off your bags in the corner.

"Is this Ushiwaka's pretty girl?" Tendō grinned, waving the two of you over. Ushijima bent down slightly and put you down, turning to see you pouting a little.

"What?" He asked and you responded by jumping on his front this time, hugging your arms and legs around him like a teddy bear. "Okay." He shrugged and walked over to the team, acting like this was just the usual way he came into practice.

Semi and Reon were both staring at the two of you, eyes wide as they realized that yep, that was in fact their captain. With a girl. A cute girl. On his back and acting like this was completely normal.

"G-Girl," Goshiki stammered out, watching you with his face completely red.

"Don't tell me you've never seen one up close before," Shirabu snickered, nudging the boy in the side.

"Of course I've seen a girl!" Goshiki insisted, shaking his head and trying to get all the redness away from his face. Obviously he had seen girls. He just had never seen one cling to a guy like Ushijima before.

"This is Y/N," Ushijima explained to the team in his usual captain voice. "She is my girlfriend."

"How do you have time to manage a girlfriend and practice?" Semi mumbled in surprise.

Ushijima brought you around the players, introducing you to them one on one with you still holding onto the front of his body. Goshiki practically passed out when you said hello to him.

"I have to go practice now, baby," Ushijima told you gently as he walked you over to your things. "Is it okay if I put you down now?"

You sighed dramatically, acting as if this was the most inconvenient thing for you but you laughed as he raised an eyebrow at you. You knew from the beginning when Ushijima had admitted his feelings for you that he would be a very busy guy, being the Captain of a powerhouse team and all. But he always seemed to make time to give you the attention you needed.

"Have a good practice," you smiled up at him and he bent his head down slightly for you to pat him on the head lovingly.

"I love you," he stated simply, pressing a kiss to your forehead before walking back to the team. Even though he seemed to be so casual with showing you around and PDA, the team still took a few moments to get over the initial shock of seeing their straight-faced captain with such a bubbly clingy girl.

"She's not exactly what I thought you'd be interested in," Tendō admitted to him as the two of them did passing drills.

Ushijima considered this for a moment, glancing in your direction before smiling a little to his friend, "She's perfect. How could I not be?"

[kuroosweakness]

things the haikyuu boys did when they had a crush on you 

miya atsumu 

started wearing whatever you really liked wearing/complimented him on. if you mentioned the print on his shirt, you best bet he’ll be wearing that shirt for a whole week straight. a shirt he once thought nothing of is now his favorite shirt. 

“‘tsumu, why don’t you try changing. you know, y/n could probably smell you a mile away,” osamu said to atsumu one morning as they were walking to school. 

“nuh uh,” atsumu quipped back. “i washed it with the detergent y/n likes.” 

“oh so you finally learned how the washing machine works?” 

“‘samu you’re ruining it for me.” 

asked overly-personal questions. not to be creepy or weird, but because he cherished the information he knew about you that no one else did; it made him feel special 

“y/n, do you have any big regrets?” 

“is there um, anyone you feel really happy around?” 

“what’s your guilty pleasure? c’mon everyone has them.” 

“have you ever been bullied?” 

got visibly irritated whenever another guy interrupted your conversation with him. or if you were just smiling too hard when talking to a guy he doesn’t know about

“if you keep frowning like that, you’ll look like a grandpa by next year,” osamu said right before biting into his onigiri. 

“shut up, ‘samu,” he groaned, trying his best to distract himself from the fact that you looked happier talking to another guy than him. did you smile that hard when he made a joke? he sure hopes so :’ 

kuroo tetsurou 

pointed out the smallest differences in you. he noticed the slightest changes in your body language, style, mood, etc etc. on your bad days, he desperately wanted to ask if anything was wrong, but didn’t want to risk overstepping boundaries. so he just asked “how’s your day?” and even if you answered with a “good/fine/okay” he would know you weren’t telling the full truth 

if you came to school wearing a brand new pair of shoes, he’ll point it out and tease you all about it. if you showed up with a new hairstyle, kuroo won’t say anything, but you can tell he noticed because of the way he looks at it. 

even if you cut off three centimeters of your hair, he probably noticed. 

kept trying to fix his appearance around you 

he tried making it really subtle too. he’ll smooth down his jacket, try to flatten down his hair, and straighten his collar around you in hopes that it’ll make him look a bit better (he’s such a cutie 🥺 okay who’s gonna tell him that he’s looks perfectly fine the way he is) 

teased you, in a flattering way. the type of teasing where you have to force yourself from smiling too hard. and he only does it to you! no one else is worth his teasing 

but the moment someone else starts teasing you, he’d act a little ... distant. he’d back off and just watch you interact with them. if you look uncomfortable, he’d immediately put a stop to it and put them back in their place. 

called you by a nickname only he uses

at first, he used it as a joke. but overtime, it just stuck and now it doesn’t feel right for him to call you by your first name. again, the annoyance is clear on his face when someone called you by the same nickname 

~~~

when you first met kenma, he said, “y/n? i’ve heard a lot *glances at kuroo* about you.” 

suna rintarou 

lowkey protects you. such as putting an arm in front of you, shielding you with his body, draping his jacket over your head, lending you his umbrella, that type of stuff (ugh just kiss already) 

he acted like it was no big deal. it’s not like he’d admit it was on his mind for a whole week. the miya twins knew something was up when suna suggested watching a romance movie. (suna needed new scenarios with you in his head) 

subtly invited you everywhere, made excuses to be around you 

“hey, we have a game on saturday at *specific location* in case you wanna come” 

“since they’re having a buy-one-get-one-free, it’ll be a shame if you didn’t come along ...” 

“since we’re both headed towards that place, might as well go together” 

unexpectedly defended you/your opinion in conversations and class. even though suna rarely talks in class, if you brought up a point/answer, he’d defend it

sakusa kiyoomi 

had trouble meeting your eyes without blushing 

even with his mask on, you could see the redness spread across his cheekbones whenever you spoke to him. 

always plopped himself in a seat close to you, even with all those other empty seats 

his became more soft, gentle, and high-pitched around you, his posture became less stiff 

it’s subtle; he didn’t even notice a change in his own voice. maybe because there’s nothing else on his mind when he’s talking to you? 

always walked a little bit slower in the hallways when he saw you pass by and eyed you, hoping that you’d notice him like the way he noticed you

bokuto koutarou 

stumbled with his words and forgot basic things around you

“class? what do you mean by ‘we have to go to class’??” 

listened intently to everything you said and memorized facts about you better than his vocabulary words 

“akaashi, did you know that y/n’s favorite ice cream flavor is ...” 

“nope, y/n can’t make it today. how do i know? because they told me in advance :D oh wait, y/n’s not gonna be here today?? D’:”

made a handshake with you to do in front of everyone to show off that your connection with him is special

the pride he felt when everyone gathered around to watch you and him do your special handshake 🥺

got you gifts out of nowhere simply because you said you liked it

his mindset goes: getting y/n ___ = y/n happy :) i better get it for them before someone does 

tendou satori 

always lends you his stationary and whenever he forgets a pencil, you’re the first person he asks. don’t worry, he always returns them right after :) 

he also loves “borrowing” your personal things. the idea of you trusting him is really special to him. plus, whenever someone asks him where he got it, he gets to say, “oh, it’s y/n’s.” 

loves, loves, loves passing notes in class!! 

he kept all of your conversations with him in a special little box hidden in his room. 

complimented the little things he knows you care about! 

he loves seeing that beautiful smile of yours while knowing he’s the cause of it.

he smiles so much around you <33  tendou’s smile is so contagious it’s hard to be sad around him. not to mention he always knows how to cheer you up :’ 

iwaizumi hajime 

whenever his friends talked about hot actors and classmates they found attractive, he never joined in. (if you were there, he’d be glancing at you ever-so-often) 

he’d always offer to walk/drive you home. every single day. even if you insisted that he didn’t need to, it would take another five minutes of convincing him. if you said yes, he happily got you home. no matter what occasion, he always asked you. it was your regular, daily routine with him :) 

made jokes only for you to hear. he loved having inside jokes with you that only you two understood. the confusion on other peoples’ faces was satisfying. 

akaashi keiji 

had a lot of sympathy for you over small things (and big things too, of course) 

if your weekend plans got messed up, if you lost your jacket, forgot your stationary, tripped on the stairs, he’s the person you go to to talk about these things. he never belittles your struggles and always finds a way to help you feel better 

always checked in with you and made sure you had a lunch to eat 

even if your classroom is across the campus, you better expect him to be at the front door after your class is over

tried his best to get to know your friends and family (and pets!) 

akaashi best boy 🥺 the way he sees your friends and family as his own because he knows how much they matter to you 

-> a/n: i hope you like these hehe :))

[ruvviks]

FAMILY: what's your oc's family like? is it a family of blood, choice, or something else? how does your oc feel about their blood relations? if they have a family of choice, how did they come together?

aubrey has an older sister named becca, a twin sibling named james, a younger brother named harlowe and a younger sister named rikki!! harlowe got adopted into the family by his siblings after aubrey rescued him from his horrible living and working situation, and rikki is officially their half-sister but this all makes like. no difference to any of them. family is family and they all love each other SO much <33 aubrey used to live together with james but after returning to night city he's been living with his boyfriend, and james lives with rikki now :D becca lives alone but she's fine with that she needs her solitude after a busy day at work

aubrey's father was a piece of shit who died when he was still pretty young. his mother was. well. trying her best i guess?? but she was also not doing great and wasn't able to save her kids from her self-destructive behavior. rikki's father was left COMPLETELY out of the picture because their mother did not want him to come near her kids. even though he could've been a better parent than she ever was. but we don't think about that too much

FIRST: has your oc ever been the one to leave first? why did they go, and who did they leave behind? do they regret it?

aubrey is not one to leave first ever. in all his past relationships he gave it his all to make it work out for everyone involved, often either losing himself in the process completely or just exhausting himself to the point of no return. all sacrifices he was willing to make because he loves so honestly and so intensely and doesn't want to hurt anyone but for some reason people just didn't want to stick around :((

the only time he left was forced upon him by netwatch, when they sent him to elysium (a spaceship. very bad place) and he had to leave his siblings behind. he initially thought he'd be able to go back home after a few months, thinking it was some sort of temporary job or a punishment, but after a while realized he was going to be stuck there for the rest of his life. he didn't even get to say goodbye properly to his family

FUTURE: is there anyone your oc is looking forward to meeting or to seeing again? who? what might that meeting or reunion look like?

aubrey is very happy with where he is in life right now and not necessarily looking to dig up any of his past. most people in there are left there for a good reason (aka they left him and he doesn't really see why he should continue chasing after them) so he feels no desire to go back to any of that right now. he Does occasionally wonder how rikki's father is doing and lowkey really wants to meet him, but also rikki has complicated feelings about her parents and she is more important to aubrey than a guy he's never really met so he wouldn't break her trust by reaching out to him without her permission

Be In My Eyes - Chapter 3

You can read the previous chapters here, or on AO3. I would like to take a second to thank you all for reading my fic. It means a lot to me <3 I hope you enjoy this chapter! :D

“What’s the name of the building again?” Vax’ildan asked, adjusting the straps of the heavy backpack on his shoulders. 

“Greyskull Keep. It says on the map that it should be, er – ” Vex’ahlia said as she looked around. “Over there, the gray building!” She pointed at a modern-looking tall gray building with lots of big windows. “It seems like we are on the seventh floor, apartment 7B."

Vax nodded and sped up toward the building. He had been carrying his heavy backpack for too long and needed to give his back a break. Vex followed him with a big, black shaggy-haired dog trotting by her side on a leash.

It was a bright sunny afternoon, the summer heat still blazing in the air, and the twins had just crossed half a city on foot, both carrying their heavy backpacks. At first glance, one would think of them as just a pair of students walking through campus. No one would suspect that they had all their lives’ possessions inside those backpacks. 

It didn’t take them long to find the entrance to the building, nor did it take them long to be stopped by a security guard.

“I’m sorry, but we don’t allow dogs." He said, pointing at the black dog.

“But I was told I could bring him," Vex’ahlia answered as she took her backpack off her shoulders and crouched on the floor, looking inside it for something. “I have a letter." Vex found the paper and handed it to the security guard with a smirk. His eyes moved from side to side, and his frown gave way to a smile.

“I stand corrected. Welcome to Greyskull Keep." He said, moving to the side to allow them in.

Once inside, the twins sighed in relief as the cold air hit their skins. Air conditioning was a luxury they weren’t accustomed to, so they would enjoy any chance they got. They crossed the large foyer toward the makeshift reception area, where a girl with a long blond braid greeted them with a smile.

“Hi, welcome in! My name is Allura."

“Oh, hi! I’m Vex’ahlia, this is my brother, Vax’ildan, and Trinket." Vex introduced them with a smile. Allura nodded in acknowledgment and quickly leafed through a few papers. 

“Ah-ha! Apartment 7B! It looks like one of your roommates has already moved in this morning. Here are the keys. Welcome to Greyskull Keep! If you need anything, you can find me in apartment 10A." She smiled as she handed them their keys.

The twins thanked her and followed the signs toward the elevators on one side of the building. Almost there. Vax adjusted the backpack again as he felt a pang on his lower back. 

***

Keyleth was finishing putting away the last of her clothes in the three-door wardrobe. Although she had picked what she assumed was the biggest room in the three-bedroom apartment, the room itself felt a bit cramped with three beds, instead of two like the other rooms, and only one desk to share. The two positive things about this room were that it had a private bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of light, which would be great for her plants. 

As she moved about the room, she started mentally taking notes of things she wanted to get to make the place cozier, like a plush rug by her bed – she had claimed the one closest to the window, of course – plants, lots of plants, some fairy lights, a few photos from home that she had taken… yes. Keyleth would make this her home away from home.

Keyleth heard the apartment door open, and she promptly left the room, thinking it was her father returning with the food he had gone to pick up. She was instead met with a pair of very similar-looking people and a big shaggy dog, whose tail thumped against the open door. 

“Oh! Hello!” The girl greeted. Her brown hair was tied in a pretty braid that fell to the front of her shoulder, with a couple of blue feathers placed behind her ear, and she had pretty brown eyes and a charming smile. She was wearing a pair of jeans, which Keyleth thought was weird, considering how hot it was outside, and a blue t-shirt with a white dragon’s head on the chest. She was also the one holding the dark blue leash that was tethered to the dog.

“H– Hi." Keyleth greeted with a small wave. She could already feel the heat of a blush flaring on her cheeks.

“I’m Vex’ahlia, but you can call me Vex. This is Trinket." she gestured toward the dog, “and this is my brother, Vax’ildan."

The guy, Vax’ildan, looked exactly like his sister, except for a change in his facial features and the fact that he was a few inches taller. His hair was also long, but instead of being tied in a braid, he had it up in a bun, with a few strands falling down his face. He had a mysterious aura about him that Keyleth couldn’t pinpoint. Maybe it was the slightly smudged eyeliner, the black nail polish, or the tattoos on the inside of his arms. Or maybe it was the fact that he was wearing all black and a leather jacket, which on such a hot day like today was a grave mistake. 

“You can call me Vax." Keyleth’s cheeks flushed red as the smoky timbre of his voice reached her, sending a million tiny electric shocks down her spine. Oh, he’s handsome.

“H– Hi. I’m Key–." Keyleth choked. Suddenly, any semblance of thought was completely erased from her brain as Vax’s piercing gaze and smirk focused on her.

“Keyleth!” Korrin stood behind the twins �� they had to be twins, right? It only made sense, since they looked so much alike – with two brown paper bags in his hands. 

“Dad!” Keyleth’s voice was a tad louder than she intended it to be.

“Oh, hi! I’m Keyleth’s father, Korrin." The man introduced himself, balancing the two bags in one hand and extending the other toward the twins.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Vex’ahlia, and this is my brother, Vax’ildan." Vex took his hand and shook it with a smile. 

“Ah, you must be Keyleth’s roommates, then." Vax took Korrin’s hand after his sister. Korrin lingered on the handshake, carefully examining Vax. There was something about him that Korrin couldn’t describe, something dangerous, mysterious, maybe? Whatever it was, the way his daughter looked at him caused alarm bells to ring in his mind. 

“Please, come inside and set your things down. Those bags look extremely heavy." Korrin said, gesturing toward the spacious living room. 

“Oh. Right. Since I was the first to arrive, I picked the biggest bedroom." Keyleth guided Vex through the open floor common area to the hallway leading to the bedrooms. “Uh. Allura? I think that was her name…”

“Blonde hair in a braid?” Vex asked. Keyleth nodded in response. “Yeah, we met her too."

“Well, she told me we were assigned three girls to the apartment, so I picked the room with three beds for us girls," Keyleth explained, stopping in front of the open door to the bedroom in question.

“I see," Vex said, entering the room. It looked too cramped for her liking, especially since it would be the three of them, plus Trinket, but she couldn’t complain much. Vex set her backpack on the floor by the bed closest to the bathroom, and sat on the bed, testing the firmness of the mattress. It wasn’t too bad, not too firm, but not too soft. It would do.

“I’ll leave you alone to unpack," Keyleth said with a smile. She moved to leave the room but turned back as if she had forgotten something. She cautiously approached Trinket and gave him her hand to sniff, which he did, his tail thumping against the furniture. Seemingly happy with his reaction, Keyleth dug her fingers into the fur on top of his head. “Nice to meet you too, Trinket." she cooed. “I’ll be in the living room if you need anything," Keyleth said before she left, closing the bedroom door behind her.

***

Vax stood in the doorway and watched the girls disappear around the corner. He looked around the common area, examining the apartment. The main entrance opened to the living room, where the back of a dark gray three-seat couch created a sort of division between the entrance and the room proper. Two comfortable-looking gray armchairs sat on each side of the couch, with a black coffee table in the middle, sitting on a light gray rug. In front of it was a black TV stand with a 45” TV, a tall bookshelf, and a standing light in the corner.

“You should go pick a bedroom, Vax’ildan," Korrin said kindly, reminding Vax that he was still blocking his path.

“Right." Vax nodded before he walked through the common area, following in the direction the girls had disappeared. The hallway had two doors on each side, and Vax could hear the low murmur of voices coming from the farthest room on the right, so, assuming that was the bedroom his sister would be staying in, Vax opened the door right next to it, finding another bedroom.

The room was pretty small and looked cramped. Two beds sat against the opposite wall, with a floor-to-ceiling window in between them, and each had a desk at its foot. On the wall next to the door were two decent-sized wardrobes, not too big, but not too small either, perfect for people who had enough clothes to fill them, which wasn’t Vax’s case.

Vax quickly set out to unpack his bag and put what little articles of clothing he had in the wardrobe furthest from the door, then stored the bag on top of it. He placed a few trinkets on the desk closest to that wardrobe, a picture frame of him, his sister and Trinket, his old laptop bag, and a few school supplies he had gotten ahead of time. Lastly, he placed his phone charger in the drawer of the nightstand near the bed he had chosen, and sat down, testing the firmness of the mattress. He had slept in worse places, so he couldn’t complain about the firmness. He was glad to be at least warm and to have a roof over his head. It was with this thought that he let himself fall onto the mattress and close his eyes.

Twin Session || Beck&Jude

Date: Tuesday, May 16th (Late Evening)

Location: Jude’s apartment

Notes: The Derringer twins smoke up and talk about real life stuff. (TW: Drugs)

Jude and Beck were lying on the rug in the middle of Jude’s living room, lying in opposite directions. Jude was off parenting duty for the night, so the twins did something they always loved doing when they had twin time - smoking very strong herbs Jude always had in supply that were imported from Kor’Sel’Koo. They were currently in a state where pushing the coffee table aside and just lying down on the floor was a great idea. It was very comfortable on the floor. It was also always when they were on herbs that the twins got extra philosophical.

“You know what I think sometimes,” Beck spoke, exhaling some smoke. “If we get the whole incapable of committing to relationships thing from the sperm donor.” She took another puff and exhaled. “‘Cos Mum is the complete opposite.” She raised her arm up towards Jude, attempting to pass the blunt to him. With some effort, Jude managed to take it.

“Probably,” Jude agreed, bringing the blunt to his lips. “That shit is genetic.” He took a puff before continuing. “Like, I think I love Molly.”

“Wait, what?” If Beck could, she would sit up right now. But the floor was too nice. So instead she tilted her head sideways toward his head, eyes wide open.

Jude gave an inebriated grin before taking another puff. He was quiet a few seconds after exhaling the smoke.

“Yeah. She’s the Mum to my kid. I guess it’s kinda hard not to.” A pause. “But I can’t give her what she wants. The big romance. The monogamy. It’s just not me.”

“No,” Beck agreed. “It’s not you.”

Jude appreciated the honesty. “Exactly. But what I realized is that I’m not giving her what she wants because I love her. Not because it’s what’s easy for me. How fucked up is that?”

“Pretty fucked up.”

They both laughed.

“Yeah,” Jude sighed. “You know, I used to wonder if that was why the sperm donor ditched Mum. For the same reason. Because he cared about her too much and didn’t want to put her through whatever fucked up shit was going on in his head.” He took another puff and exhaled. “But, the second Cleo was born, I knew that was bullshit. You don’t abandon the people you love. You try to be there in the way that you can be. So, I’m there for Molly and Cleo as a dad.”

“Damn Jude, who knew you were such a softie?” Beck teased.

Jude tilted his head towards Beck. “You did. You know everything.” He grinned. “Just like I know you’re also a softie.”

“Oh -” Beck reached up to give him a light smack on the nose. Not a precise position but it got her point across. “- fuck off!”

Jude laughed and pushed her hand out of the way. “Don’t bullshit me! We shared a womb, you know. The deal is you know everything about me the same way I know everything about you.”

There was silence for a few minutes. Then Beck sighed.

“I really don’t want to be. Feelings are extremely fucking inconvenient.”

“Oh?” Jude’s eyebrows raised slightly. It was very rare Beck ever mentioning anything about feelings. Really, the infamous crush on Daphne was the only time he heard anything like that. “Rebecca Elise Derringer, do you have a crush?”

Beck tried to smack him on the nose again, but Jude was quick enough to block it.

“What the fuck am I, twelve?” she growled. “I don’t do crushes.”

“Anymore? ‘Cos, just 'cos I feel like I’m floating right now doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about your old crush on D-”

“Don’t you dare!” Now she sent a flurry of sloppy smacks his way. She didn’t hit anything critical, but did cause a hysterically laughing Jude.

“Okay okay! I will not mention the D-word!” Jude exclaimed. Beck stopped her smacks for now. “Do tell. Is it someone on your crew? Anyone I met at the diner? Let’s see... quite of few of them didn’t strike me as interested in women. Oh, I got it - the nice, older Vanneer woman? She seemed your type.”

“Muffy?” Beck seemed surprised he would suggest that. “I mean, okay, Muffy is hot. But no. Nobody there.” She sighed again.

“But it is someone on your crew?” Jude smirked.

“It’s not someone. I don’t even fucking know. This is why I said feelings are inconvenient!”

“Here.” Jude passed her the blunt because God knew she needed it right now. “So you have a crush on multiple someones in your crew, is what I’m gathering here.”

“Please stop saying ‘crush’.”

“This is a wilder development than me having a whole baby. You never catch feelings for anyone, let alone multiple anyones!”

“It really doesn’t matter,” Beck huffed. “Shit completely blew up with one, and shit didn’t exactly blow up with the other but it was established we weren’t on the same level of ‘feelings’.”

There was silence because Jude was in complete shock. “Hooooly shit. Alright, right now. I need the full run down of whatever the hell you’ve been up to.”

Jude was completely unprepared for the full rundown of what Beck had been up to with both Gwen and Karmel. With plenty of blunt-passing in between.

“Damn Becca, you’ve been busy.”

“You couldn’t be further from the right person to talk about this,” Beck dryly cracked.

“Well, true! But I think what you also need is another you to talk you through this.” And Jude was the only person close to another Beck. They were of course different in a lot of ways, but if the whole twin-being-one-person thing were true, then yeah. “So, asking as a You, what do you feel like you want?”

Beck put an arm over her eyes and passed the blunt to Jude.

“Fuck if I know, Jude. This is why I prefer sex. Sex is uncomplicated. It feels nice, you finish, you move on ‘til the next time.”

“True,” Jude agreed.

“And I know me. When have I ever been happy the times I tried staying in a relationship?”

“Yuh huh.”

“Sticking with one person? Forever? I don’t think I’m wired for that.”

Silence.

“God,” Beck continued. “We really did get this shit from the sperm donor.”

They both started laughing. It wasn’t exactly funny, but they were pretty high, to be fair.

“I’m going to propose a theory but you have to promise not to try and smack me again,” Jude told her.

“I’m not promising that.”

Jude rolled his eyes. “What I think... is that the issue isn’t your unwillingness to commit. It’s your unwillingness to be vulnerable with other people.”

Beck removed her arm from her eyes. “What?”

Jude lifted a finger up. “When you were talking about this Gwen, you kept saying you didn’t give a shit but you being as pissed as you were indicated otherwise. And you kept downplaying how you felt when Karmel told you she didn’t feel the same way, but I know you Beck and you don’t just tell anyone you have feelings for them. You’re not as invincible as you try to come across.”

Maybe if Beck hit him hard enough he’d knock out. She was seriously considering this option.

Jude continued. “Maybe the sex with one person only bit you can’t commit to. Sure. But it’s not sex we’re talking about here. It’s that intimate connection with people you can’t deal with. You can’t stand anyone knowing you have weaknesses.”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Beck snapped. This was no longer a fun conversation. “If I wanted a fucking therapy session, I’d pay a professional to do that for me. Not the damn middle school teacher who knocked someone up because he was too dense to put the rubber on.”

Jude was used to Beck getting defensive, so he wasn’t fazed. He merely smiled up at the ceiling.

“I love you, Becca. And I wouldn’t have you any other way.”

Beck didn’t really believe that. “Liar, yes you would.”

“I’m serious,” Jude assured her. “Life would be so boring without you. I won’t pretend I’m not hoping Cleo is significantly more chill than you are. But I hope she’s at least a little bit like you when you gets older.”

That was... really nice of him to say. Beck closed her eyes, feeling very tired of all the drugs.

“Yeah yeah, alright. I love you too. Galah.”

Jude laughed. Typical Beck.

[flowertboyz]

Could I request maybe the moment each of the members knew they wanted to marry u maybe?

sangyeon:

you and sangyeon were just out and about, shopping,, looking at expensive shop windows and then this child ran up to you, crying about how they lost their mum🥺 and like,, sangyeon had seen you with children before but the way you immediately jumped into action and were so lovely,, helping this child to calm down and then slowly checking to see where she’d come from, what her parents looked like😭😭😭 omg he just fell in love with you again, right then and there (though soohyun then came along before he could marry you🥰)

jacob:

so one day,, you and jake were just messing about,, jacob playing the guitar a lil as you sang along with his tunes but after a while he got a bit hungry so he went to get some snacks :D but,, when he came back into the living room you had his guitar in your arms and you were looking so proud of yourself ‘jacob look !! look at me!!!’ and then you played walking in time and jacob just 🥺🥺🥺🥺 because he hadnt taught you that???? and when he’d tried before you’d given up Pretty Quickly and he just was so proud and was so so in love with how proud you looked with yourself?????????

younghoon:

i feel like younghoon is so simple and so sweet that for him the moment he knew he wanted to marry you was just when he came home from practise and you were snuggled in your shared bed and he just,, melted?? you just looked so adorable and he absolutely adored the view,, and then as he approached the bed, getting changed into his pyjamas you awoke (like half asleep but still) and just smiled and younghoon just absolutely died,, he started looking for engagement rings as soon as you fell asleep on his chest only a few minutes later

juyeon:

i mean,, as we can all guess being pregnant with twins is HARD; physically, emotionally and mentally but everyday when juyeon came home from practise (i mean up until you were eight months pregnant, we drew the line there) you were there!! smiling and welcoming him home and everyday your bump grew juyeon just became more and more grateful for you and so much more in love with you and one day he was talking to the members and he was like ‘how can i repay her??!!!??!!??!’ and they were like ‘um... marry her?’ and he just jumped into action omg

hyunjae:

similar to juyeon but hyunjae didn’t propose until hansol was born and you were pregnant with daehyun and honestly,, marriage wasnt even something he’d thought about with how busy the two of you were with the kids but in a rare moment of calm, he walked in on you and hansol cuddling, hansol’s hand pressed against your bump as you talked about the new baby and hyunjae just absolutely glowed with joy,, he was so in love and for him that was the moment that made him go, yeah🤧 i’m gonna marry her

kevin:

i feel like a lot of the time,, kevin just sits and thinks,,, and before he met you and moved in with you it was a lot of existential stuff but since the two of you moved in together it was a lot more centred around you and the house and the future and he mostly thought to himself,, but one day you were just like ‘what’s going on up there bud’ and he started talking about the future and the house and you and things he wanted/planned for,, and not once did he mention proposal or marriage and you,, just as a bit of fun just said ‘well, you’re gonna have to marry me first yk’ and just left the room to start with dinner but kevin went OFF in his head and it was all he thought about for weeks (he started looking for a ring that night)

new:

so,, you (and all the members’ girlfriends) had been invited to be bridesmaid’s at sangyeon’s wedding!!! very exciting!! and ofc, you guys all went with sangyeon’s fiancé to buy bridesmaids dresses!!! which luckily you were allowed to take photos of,, so when you came home you were like ‘look !!! do you like it??’ and the dress was this beautiful off-white dress,, but obviously more of a slip dress than a puffy skirt to separate you from the bride and new just went 👀 because it looked like a wedding dress!!! and look how beautiful you looked!!! and it just filled him up with emotion and love and he was so overwhelmed and just decided in that moment he HAD to marry you

q:

life as an idol is very hard and being a main dancer???? being a choreographer???? changmin’s body HURTS after a day bro,, and the way that one day he just came home and you had a big smile on your face,, taking him into your arms,, cooking him dinner and massaging the aching parts of his body just made his heart swell and you were just lightly telling him off,, telling him not to work so hard but all he could think when he looked at you was just how much he wanted you to be the rest of his life

haknyeon:

okay so this is sad but bare with me,, it was the anniversary of haknyeon’s dad’s death and usually his family meet up for it (idk if that’s true or not,, just pretend it is for this) but this was one of the first times you’d come along and idk,, something about that just made haknyeon so much more emotional but at one point during the day,, the two of managed to sneak off and you just held him, shushing him occasionally and obviously his heart swelled !! but what absolutely sealed the deal was at the end of the day when his mum just took his hands and said ‘your dad would love her’ haknyeon burst into tears but knew then that she was right, and he was gonna marry you

sunwoo:

one of the things sunwoo loved most about you was the way you just had fun by yourself ?? and one day he woke up pretty late and came down the stairs to find you dancing your ass off as your puppy scuttled around your feet, getting all excited and all he could think about was just,, how much he wanted to wake up to this every morning of his life !!!! 🥰

eric:

you and eric were just,, casually,, attending jacob’s wedding, but,, as everyone was looking at the bride and at jacob’s reaction and looking at how absolutely in love they were and how lovely everything looked, the whole day, the only thing eric could look at was you !!!! he just couldn’t stop thinking about how much he wanted his wedding to look like this and he wanted you to interact with your own kids the way you did with sangyeon’s and he wanted to see you in that big white dress!!!!! and that was when he decided 🥺

[yniswaifu]

The bet - 2

"Y/N!"

You turn to look at Atsumu walking towards you, stomping his feet. He had a deep frown on his face, and it could be said he was pissed. Very very pissed.

Instinctively Osamu stood in front of you, stretching out his arm to shield you. You had come to meet him before his practice began that day – since it was a weekend with no school, the volleyball team did practice the whole day, as per Kita's order.

But of course, that wasn't very helpful as Atsumu shoved his brother to the side and stood very close to you, his flaring breath fanning your face.

You were anticipating this, not going to lie.

"why did you do that?" he asks, glaring at you.

Close proximity from anyone except your boyfriend made you uncomfortable, so you step back and turn your head to the side. "that was the right thing to d–"

You got cut off and Atsumu grabs your t-shirt collar and yanks you upwards. Your feet barely touched the floor and the area around your underarms hurt from the stretched cloth. Osamu, even though confused by the whole situation, could never see his girlfriend get manhandled by anyone, let alone his own sibling. He quickly comes in between you and Atsumu, and pushes him away.

"what the heck are you doing!?" he yells. Thankfully you guys were near the empty volleyball court or there could be a crowd forming already.

"what am I doing? Ask your girlfriend what she did!" the blonde twin counter-yells.

Osamu turns to see you already staring at him. The reason you decided to meet him was to tell him about yesterday. But his brother beat you to it.

You kept quiet while Osamu waited for you to say something. Sighing, you said, "I told f/n how Atsumu started dating her because of a bet."

Osamu's eyes widened. You could see disappointment flashing through his eyes, and that made you want to cry. But you kept your stand.

"why would you do that y/n? You know Atsumu likes her for real, and we had decided we'll leave the bet thing behind us."

Now you really wanted to cry. You wanted to yell at them about the fake foundation the relationship was based on, and how unhealthy and shameful the whole situation was, but you kept quiet. Moreover, you kept quiet as the two boys stared at you for an answer, as you know saying anything will only hurt you more. Not that your boyfriend taking his brother's side in an instant hadn't already done the damage.

Rolling your eyes, you looked at Atsumu and said, "I did what I thought was right. If she broke up with you then that's not my fault." turning to Osamu you continued, "this is what I had come to tell you. So, now you know. I'll take my leave."

And with that, you left the two and returned home.

***

You spent the weekend crying every now and then. The break up with Osamu had become almost official in your head (due to the overthinking), and you knew he wouldn't want to be with a 'snitch'. How could he trust you anymore when you went ahead and announced the secret to the last person who should know about it. But no matter how much you tried to think about it, what you did felt right. You were guilty for being part of such an action, and after imagining yourself in f/n's place, you felt bad. Because if Osamu had approached you as part of a dare, you wouldn't like it at all. So It's better to let the truth out, even if means you can't be with the boy of your dreams.

The boy of your dreams...

The tears fell harder thinking how you have to stay away from Osamu now. How you couldn't talk to him. Or hug him. Or kiss him. How you won't be hearing his sweet words only reserved for you anymore. Break up sucks.

On Monday, you walked to school alone, entered the class alone, and sat alone. There was no gray haired boy to walk with you to school, or hug you before you entered the class, or spend time with you before the bell rang for the first class. It was lonely, but you had to accept the reality.

One more thing, you didn't want to face Atsumu. After what happened, Atsumu might as well kill you if he sees you again. You loved your life, and you were glad at times like this that you and them belonged to different sections.

The bell rang and you decided to focus in the class, which was both productive and a good distraction. Not that you succeeded much. But you managed till the lunch break.

Ah, time for the students to take a break.

At this time usually either you would head to Osamu's class or he will come to yours, and then you would go to the canteen together. But from now on, you're on your own. And worse, you might see them.

Dragging your feet towards the canteen, you avoided everyone the best you could, and reached early. You bought your food, and rushed out before you saw a mop of gray or blonde head. Thankfully, you were able to escape and is back in your class. I'm bringing my own lunch from tomorrow, you think.

The whole day passes just like that, with you being by yourself and going home, by yourself.

The next day you repeat the routine, feeling a little less anxious. You thought you could avoid the twins like you did the previous day, but you were forgetting about the other two boys you knew.

Halfway through your food during the break time, you see a shadow looming over you. Your hands froze as you thought Osamu was here. But you couldn't be sure. So you just kept looking down.

"where were you yesterday?" a deep voice asks you.

Wait a minute, this isn't Osamu or Atsumu.

You look up to see a pair of narrowed slanted eyes looking at you. "Suna?" you ask, bewildered. You had completely forgotten about him. Or Ginjima for that matter.

He kept staring at you, an eyebrow raised and hands in his pocket. Suna was one of the quietest person you have met. But let's not mistake his quiet demeanor with shyness. He just didn't talk a lot as it was a waste of time for him, but he also wouldn't back down from recording whenever the twins fought. He was the quiet bastard.

You stared at the fox lookalike towering over you, wondering why he came to you, and why he's standing in front of your desk. All you wanted was to finish your lunch in peace.

"well?" he asks.

Sighing, you look down at your lunchbox when you hear the chair in front of you screech and someone sitting on it. "you're talking as if you don't know what happened." you answer softly, not looking at the boy sitting in front of you.

Suna scoffed, "is that why you're avoiding everyone? Because you snitched on us and told f/n about the bet we had placed a couple of months back?"

You kept quiet. So It's clear it was discussed among the boys. Well. The more the merrier, you think.

"honestly, I had forgotten all about it."

You looked up to see Suna smiling at you. It wasn't sarcastic, or seemed to be holding any malice towards you. Why...

"not surprising. All you care about is volleyball and enjoying the fight between the Miyas." you say, a small smile coming off your own.

Suna laughs a little, before his face turns to the usual poker. "you ain't wrong..."

You suddenly felt relaxed. Somehow the anxiety of confrontation left you, seeing you're still smiling while munching on your food.

Suna stares into space while you eat, a comfortable silence between you. You weren't sure what he was thinking, but seeing his relaxed state, you guessed it was nothing about you.

"why now? Of all the time?"

Maybe you guessed too soon. There it was. Confrontation.

Gulping down the last bit, you sigh (Wow, you've been sighing a lot.). You were tired. After four months of keeping it in, and then trying to explain why you did what you did, you didn't feel like talking about it anymore.

"better late than never." you answered.

Suna's eyebrows raised at your words. It almost felt like you wanted him to solve the question himself with those words. Like, the situation was obvious enough to be understood without any explanation.

"right...but we did decide not to tell her." he retorts.

This time you scoffed at his words. What bullshit. "not tell her...sure. Let her believe Atsumu actually liked her when he pointed at her before his serve at the game, something he has never done for anyone. Let f/n believe he waited for her after the game, to take her home. Let her believe he meant all that sweet talk he told her. Let her believe everything was GENUINE from the start. And there wasn't any bet we had with Atsumu when you realized she's the only person who hasn't paid any attention to him."

Your eyes looked furious by this point and you were pissed. Suna knew he was treading on thin ice, and you were about to snap, but he decided to take this further.

"but Atsumu fell for her for real after some time."

"if you're here to defend him and our actions then I suggest you leave."

He raised his hand in surrender. He didn't want to piss you off further. "I'm sorry, jeez."

Rolling your eyes, you rested your chin on your palm and stared outside. You didn't want to blast at anyone in the school.

"anyway, I wasn't here for that. I came here for a different reason, and I got distracted. Sorry for pissing you off." Suna spoke up.

You didn't look at him, but still replied. "apologise to f/n Suna, not me."

He smirked. He knew himself deep down, what they did was wrong. F/n was a nice person, and she didn't deserve any of that. So what y/n did was correct, even if that kinda ruined her relations with others, and Suna admired that. Not like he was going to tell her that.

"I will. In fact, after school" he says, his voice a bit solemn.

This time you look at him.

"I'm glad." you say. You didn't want to lecture Suna. He was a 17 year old teenager after all, with a sensible head between his shoulders. He can make his own decisions, just like you did.

Maybe for the first time, you saw Suna give a proper smile to you. Most of the time he would either have a smirk, or have a poker face. But you never saw him smile like he's doing this time.

"wow, I've never seen you smile like that before." you say, without thinking.

Suna looks a bit surprised but still smiles. "now you have."

You giggle and nod. Suna then gets up and turns to leave but stop. Facing you again, he says. "the main reason why I came here was to ask your help for an assignment. And I'm not great in that subject. So after I've apologised and sorted everything between me and f/n, will you consider helping me?"

You look at his poor attempt to plead. It didn't suit him at all. So you give him a smile and say, "first you apologise. Then I'll think about it."

Suna narrowed his eyes at you, amused by your antics. "very well." he says and bids you goodbye before exiting the class.

You shake your head at the retreating figure and smile to yourself. Of course you were going to help him.

Maybe it wasn't so bad after all...

Here's chapter 2. I know much wasn't revealed, but it gets better (at least in my head). Stay tuned.

Have a beautiful day. ✌️

Shout out to @nyxagape for being the first ever person to comment in the first ever chapter I wrote for my first ever fanfic. Thanks a lot man!

A life for a life

Word Count: 2,542 Felix x OC Oneshot Warnings: Angst, fluff

December 31st – Confrontation of Renesmee

Once it had been declared that Renesmee is not an immortal child, Irina was ripped apart and burned for providing a false allegation to the Kings.

Alice shows Aro a vision of what will happen if he decides to fight the Cullens and the Wolves “Now you know, that’s your future…unless you decide on anther course” “We cannot alter our course, the child still poses a great threat” Caius says to Aro “What if she can remain hidden from the human world, can we go in peace?” Edward asks “Of course, but that cannot be known” Caius replies “Actually it can” Edward cuts him off as Nahuel and Huilen break through the tree line and walk towards the Volturi. “I have been searching for witnesses of my own…” Caius cuts Alice off “We have enough witnesses” “Let him speak brother” Aro says, silencing Caius. “I am like the child, half human / half vampire. A vampire seduced my mother, who died giving birth to me. My aunt Huilen raised me as her own. I made her immortal” Nahuel advises everyone. They learn that Nahuel can survive on both blood and human food and after seven years he became full grown and hasn’t changed since.  

Aro appears convinced all is well, and there’s no danger in allowing Renesmee to live. However, Edward reads Caius’ mind and discovers he isn’t as convinced as Aro and without thinking he trades Renesmee’s life / freedom for that of Bella’s sister. “If we traded you Felix’s mate for Renesmee’s life would you allow us to leave and live in peace?” Edward asks looking at Caius. “What? I don’t have a mate” Felix says looking confused “You do, you just haven’t met her” Edward replies “And you have?” Felix retorts “Yes actually. Her name is Annabelle, she’s Bella’s sister” Alice answers this time and shock washes over everyone’s faces. “We would need to confirm that they are mates first” Caius replies, Edward nods “You can meet her today, she’s at home.” Caius looks at his brothers for a moment, before glancing over at Felix, who still looks shocked and nodded at Edward.

“Does your sister know about vampires?” Aro asks curiously “She found out recently, but it couldn’t be helped” Bella replied, Caius glared at them “You like breaking that basic law of ours, don’t you Edward?” “Actually, I let it slip” Alice interjected, smiling at Aro “That’s quite alright my dear, no harm done really. She was due to find out anyway, given that she is Felix’s mate” Aro replied with a smile, Caius rolled his eyes.

Aro sent the majority of the guards back to the plane, keeping Demetri, Felix and the twins with him, Caius and Marcus. “How do you feel about meeting your mate after centuries of being alone?” Demetri asked low “I should be happy, I know…but this doesn’t seem right D. This isn’t how I thought I’d meet her.” Demetri nodded and sympathised with his friend because he too didn’t agree that this was the ideal way to meet one’s mate.

“You know she is not going to be happy with either of you for doing this” Alice says looking at Edward and Bella. “My daughter’s life was on the line. What was I meant to do?” Edward replied “Oh I don’t know, maybe not trade in Annabelle’s life” Jasper pointed out “She’s innocent in all this and you’ve just handed her over to them like it’s nothing” Rosalie added, sounding a little upset. “They’re mates! They were bound to meet sometime” Edward shouts “This isn’t the best way though is it son?” Carlisle asks “And Bella, you’re awfully quiet, what do you think of Edward’s deal?” Tanya called out “It had to be done” Bella replied. “Let’s hope your sister is more loyal than you are” Tanya responded.

Carlisle motioned for Felix to approach him, Aro nodded and walked alongside him towards Carlisle and Esme “Everything ok Carlisle?” Aro asked “Yes, I just wanted to give Felix some advice” Esme replied low, Felix nodded “Be patient with her, she hasn’t known about our world for long and is likely to be upset, angry even at this situation” She added “I understand” Felix replied with a nod.

Bella and Edward go inside the Swan house to speak with Annabelle and tell her what they did and all hell breaks loose. The three Kings and the four elite guards stood in the back garden of the Swan house listening to the conversation between Bella, Edward and Annabelle, Caius finding the girl intriguing…for a human.

“You traded my life for hers? How dare you? You had no right!” Annabelle screams at Edward “They would have killed her…” Bella tries to explain “THAT’S NOT MY PROBLEM!” Annabelle interrupts loudly “You don’t understand...” Bella tries again “NO! YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. I’M NOT GOING!” Annabelle screams “YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE!” Edward shouts back “ONLY BECAUSE YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME! YOU HAD NO RIGHT!” Annabelle continues to scream at Edward “I have a life; I have things I want to do with my life and being mated to a vampire is not part of my life plan. So, the deal is off!” Annabelle goes to walk away but Bella grabs her “OW!” Annabelle screams “He’s outside waiting for you. You leave tonight” Bella said, nodding towards the back yard and keeping hold of her sister’s arm “You need to go pack” Bella adds. Annabelle pulls her arm free of Bella’s hold and walks to the living room “I don’t care what deal that ginger prick and my sister made, but I am not coming with you. They had no right to trade my life for their daughter’s” Annabelle shouts, knowing they can hear her.

“I will not make her come with us by force. It isn’t fair to her or me” Felix says looking at the Kings “The mate bond doesn’t work that way my dear boy. You know that” Marcus says softly “I haven’t actually seen her; we’ve not actually met one another so there is no bond in play” Felix replies, Marcus turns to look at him “So you’re telling me you don’t feel a pull towards her...seeing as you’re in such close proximity to one another?”  “Not really…but that might be due to her…reaction to the news” Felix replied, sounding unsure of himself, Marcus shook his head “We’ll see.”

“If you don’t go with him now, you’ll end like how I was when Edward left me” Bella said “No I won’t. I haven’t actually met him. I can’t miss someone I don’t know, genius” Annabelle retorts “She’s a feisty little human. I like her already” Demetri says sounding both amused and impressed not caring that Bella and Edward could hear him.

“You know what once I’m changed, I’m going to come back here and RIP YOU ALL APART!” Bella’s mouth falls open in shock “Caius won’t be happy with you” Edward says “Ha – I’ll just tell him it’s a newborn thing and he’ll just be happy I didn’t slaughter an entire village of humans and expose us. Let’s face it, he doesn’t like you two much anyway, so I’ll be doing him a favour really” Annabelle adds smiling.

“I like the girl. I’m going to go claim her” Caius says entering the house, missing the confused look on Felix’s face. “Don’t worry Felix, he didn’t mean it how it sounded” Marcus assured him. Caius enters the house and grabs Annabelle around the waist before an incident occurs as she was standing face to face with Bella. “You’re coming home with us” Caius said in her ear and she struggled in his arm “Put me down now” Annabelle told him “If you come quietly now, I’ll have the elite guards bring you back here as a newborn to follow up on the promise of ripping these two traitor’s heads off” She stopped moving and looked over her shoulder at him “You promise?” “Yes. I promise. I may even come to watch” Caius replied grinning “Fine. I’ll come quietly…but if you break your promise, it’ll be your head I rip off. Understand?” She glared at him “I understand and I will not break my promise, as you said I don’t like them anyway. You killing them means one less problem for me” He smiled at her.

“Wow. She threatened Caius and got away with it. Now I’m impressed” Jane smiled looking up at Felix, his face paled “She’s going to be a handful” He muttered “I know, I can’t wait” Demetri smiled wide, excitement shining in his red eyes and he patted his friend on the back. “It’s going to be an interesting year” Aro said just as Caius came out of the house carrying Annabelle. “Annabelle these are my brothers Aro and Marcus, we rule the vampire world together” “It’s nice to meet you both. My apologies for the…er…scene in there but it was abit of a shock to learn that my life had been ‘traded’ for their daughter’s” “That’s quite all right, my dear. We actually found it rather…refreshing” Aro replied smiling.

Once on the Volturi’s private plane Caius introduces Annabelle to Felix, Demetri, Jane and Alec. “Annabelle, these four are our Elite Guards, Demetri, our resident Tracker, Felix who’s our Executioner” Annabelle gulped and took a small step back, something that Felix noticed and he frowned slightly. “These two are Jane and Alec. They’re twins and are both gifted like Demetri” Caius added. “It’s nice to meet you all” Annabelle smiled at them “Likewise” Demetri replied “Are you curious who your mate is?” Caius asked “Yeah I guess, I hadn’t really thought about it” Annabelle replied “Ok then Annabelle, you are mated to Felix” Annabelle looked between Felix and Caius “That Felix?” “Yes, we only have one Felix…that I am aware of” Caius mused “You’re sassing me? Really?” She asked staring at Caius “When you ask an obvious question, you’re going to get a sassy remark” He replied and started to walk towards his seat “Is he like Edward?” Caius raised an eyebrow at her, the four elite guards turned to look at them “Is he controlling and possessive? Because if he is, this isn’t going to work. I am not Bella. I won’t be told what I can do, where I can go and who I can talk to” She replied “No, he is not like Edward. Although, all vampires are protective of their mates, seeing as we only get one and that can sometimes come across as possessive” Caius replied “Good. That’s something at least” Annabelle said low.

Annabelle sat down beside Felix “So…mate, how soon can I become immortal and go back kill my sister and her husband?” Demetri choked back a laugh as Felix took a deep unneeded breath “As soon as you feel ready to be changed” Felix replied “Great. Bite me” Annabelle said as she pulled her hair to one side and tilted her neck to give him access. Felix looked at Annabelle and then to Demetri who was sitting on his other side “Is she serious D?” “It would seem so Fe” He replied “Come on Felix. Bite me” “Annabelle…I…” “Demetri, will you bite me please?” She cut Felix off, Demetri smiled “Be my pleasure sweetheart” He stood up and watched as Annabelle turned to face him, he leant down and inhaled her scent “You smell nice” He whispered against the shell of her ear “Thank you…I think” Demetri carefully tilted her head a little more as his mouth filled with venom and just as he was about to bite her, he felt a strong hand on his arm “If you bite her D, I’ll have your head” Felix growled and Demetri smiled at him and sat back in his seat “See Felix you do want to bite me” Annabelle smiled and Felix sighed “I will turn you myself, but please wait till we get home. I’d like to spend the ten-hour flight getting to know you, not watch you writhe in pain” He said softly “Fine I’ll wait. But if you wuss out on me, I will let Demetri turn me” Annabelle told him before smiling at Demetri “I’ll be ready if / when you need me sweetheart” Demetri smiled back at her and Felix growled low.

They land in Volterra and once back at the castle they begin to make preparations for Annabelle’s transformation. Felix asks Alec and Demetri to be in the room with him when he turns his mate. “Demetri, Alec please be the room with me when I change Annabelle, I may need you both to stop me from killing her, if I don’t stop on my own. After all I have never turned anyone before” “Of course Felix, I will strip your senses away to allow Demetri to pull you away from her without ripping her throat out” Alec replied and Demetri nodded “Of course I’ll be there to help Fe.”

Annabelle woke up three days later and her eyes instantly found Felix’s and she ran straight into his arms “Thank you Felix” “You’re welcome mi amore” Felix replies as he gently cups her face in his large hands and presses his lips to her forehead.

Jane spoke to Annabelle about changing her plan for revenge on her sister and Edward. “Annabelle, I have an idea regarding your plan for revenge” “Ok Jane, I’m listening” She replied turning to face her. “Revenge is a dish best served cold and I think we should have fun with them first…” “What were you thinking sister?” Alec cut her off “I think we should play around with Alice’s visions a little, make the decision to go and see Bella and Edward, then decide not to go or just not turn up at all. Leave it a little while and make the decision to go to them again…” “Play mind games with them?” Annabelle interrupted “Exactly, that will irritate them, maybe even drive them mad” Jane replied smiling, a wicked glint in her eyes “I like that plan because when we do finally go and exact revenge, they will not see it coming” Annabelle responded with a wicked smile “We will all be by your side when the time comes mi amore” Felix added and wrapped his arm around her.

The next few decades were amusing to the Volturi but frustrating to the Cullens. Demetri tracked the Cullens as they moved around every so many years and took great pleasure in sending them a ‘Welcome to your new home’ card.

Finally, when Annabelle did decide to pay her sister a visit, Caius accompanied her and the four elite guards but instead of beheading Bella and Edward as originally planned all those years ago, they gave them a ‘new home’ present consisting of recently dead small woodland creatures “For you” Caius and Annabelle said together, both sporting a wicked grin on their lips and watched as shock washed over the faces of the Cullens. “We’ve bought you a welcome to your new home meal” Caius added smiling. “Revenge is sweet, sister” Annabelle told Bella with a smile before leaving the house to return to Volterra with her family.

warnings: it’s pretty long (for me at least), barely looked over sorry, swearing, fluff, tension😁😁, mention of sex, angst at the end, NO CHO SLANDER‼️‼️

prompts:

5: “DONT COME IN! WE’RE UH- HAVING SEX!”

20: top of head kisses

48: “Ugh our kids are gonna be awesome”

a/n: he looks so hot in this gif bye

through this endeavor, harry had noticed something; you’ve never been on a date together. he figured it probably seemed weird from an outsiders point of view, no one (not even ron and hermione) knew how your relationship started. one day you were known as best friends and the next you were locking hands anytime you were in view of others.

he was honestly nervous of the idea. was he really taking you on a date because of cho or because of you? but on the other hand, it could be an opportunity to somehow strengthen this fake relationship. it was a perfect excuse, if anything it’d be more proof to other that you were actually dating.

you woke up on a saturday morning to the sun shining on your face. you got up, lazily and got ready to go out for breakfast in the great hall.

“good morning, sleepyhead.” harry said to you as you sat next to him.

“good morning.” you yawned and leaned your head in your hand, eating your food.

“today’s a hogsmeade day, hopefully you didn’t forget.” you smiled at harry’s words, glad you’d have a chance to get out.

“you’re right, it is.” you replied.

“i was thinking we could go on a date.” you looked up at him, slightly taken off guard.

“really?” you asked. harry nodded.

“we could go to honeydukes then somewhere else, i don’t know whatever you want.” he said as he turned back to his food. you smiled, the idea of being on a date with him sending butterflies to your stomach.

“yeah, we could go to the three broomsticks and out by the lake after. the weather’s pretty nice today.” he looked back at you with a smile and nod.

“sounds excellent.”

“what sounds excellent?” ron’s voice was suddenly heard as he and hermione sat down.

“we’re going on a date today.” you told them.

“so i’ll be stuck with ronald the whole time?” hermione exclaimed.

“hey! i’m pretty good company if i do say so myself.” he replied.

“keep telling yourself that.”

you and harry laughed at their bickering as the conversations carried on.

you were currently sitting with harry at the three broomsticks, each enjoying a butterbeer.

“you’re telling me you’d want five kids?” you laughed and so did he.

“it’s just a thought, realistically maybe two or three.” he replied.

“i agree, my kids will at least have one sibling.” you nodded. “what would you name them?” harry thought for a moment.

“well i’d definitely want to use my parents names somehow, even if it’s just a middle name.” he said. you smiled.

“i have a whole list of names.” you said.

“of course you do.” he laughed and so did you. “ugh, our kids are gonna be awesome.” you felt your face heat up at the comment and let out another small laugh as you went into a few moments of comfortable silence.

“so, um, how’s the cho situation going?” as much as you wanted to forget any of this was about someone else, you felt obligated to ask. you wanted to know where his feelings were.

“oh, right uh,” he looked up and saw cho enter, how ironic. they shared a quick moment of eye contact and a smile. “ok i think? we’ve only really talked a few times. i don’t know what i’m supposed to do at this point.” you looked between harry and cho with a sigh, taking your last sip of butterbeer.

“why don’t we go now.” you said, harry looked at you and smiled. he stood up and held your hand, walking out with you.

the two of you laid out on a blanket by the black lake, sun shining on your skin and the sound of yours and harry’s soft laughter in the air.

“do we have anymore grapes left?” harry asked you. you sat up and looked at the bowl that sat between you two. there were only two grapes left. you grabbed one of them and looked down at harry.

“open up, potter.” you said. harry sat up and raised an eyebrow at you.

“y/n, we both now your aim is rubbish.” he said. you scoffed and place a hand over your chest in mock offense.

“ouch that one went right to the heart.” he laughed at your act and gestured for you to throw the grape at him. you threw the small fruit and watched as he stared at it with his mouth open just for it to bounce off his forehead and into the grass.

“oops?” you said and you both fell into laughter. you looked at the bowl again and grabbed the last grape. “one last grape left.” you held it out to him. he went to take it from your hand but you pulled away. he looked at you and you shot him a playful smile. he reached again but failed.

the act turned into an all out war filled with teasing and laughter. that was until you stretched your hand up over your head and not realizing how close you were, harry reached for it. in an attempt to move your hand backwards you ended up falling over harry following suit and catching himself on his hands. your laughter stopped as you realized the position you were in. harry was hovering right on top of you. his eyes met yours and his breath hitched as he was unsure of what to do.

the moments you spent staring at each other felt like hours. your mind was racing until you snapped yourself out of it with a nervous laugh.

“uh, harry?” you practically whispered.

“r-right, uh sorry about that.” he said as he sat back up. you sat up, trying to collect yourself after what just happened. you looked at harry to find he was staring blankly at you. you smiled and ate the grape that was still in your hand.

“what-” harry realized what you did and you laughed at his reaction. the two of you laid back down in your previous position, staring at the darkening sky. you lingered in silence.

you could’ve sworn that in the moment you noticed harry checking you out. the image ran back in your head and you noticed how you stared down at your lips. was it possible he actually liked you? he was being pretty distant from cho. you needed to find out for yourself.

harry was conflicted. practically the whole day he had let his mind wonder on to the idea of being with you but it was always interrupted by reality. at the three broomsticks the presence of cho snapped him out of it, during the picnic “date” your teasing and comments that he interpreted as friendly banter interrupted it, and just now the moment you shared being cut short interrupted it. all he wanted to do in that moment was lean down and kiss you but he couldn’t. he would never do something to ruin your friendship.

“if i’m being honest, being in a relationship is a nice change from being single.” harry’s words interrupted the silence. you turned your head to him.

“really? why’s that.” you asked, amused. he shrugged.

“i don’t have to deal with the constant weird tension around other girls. most of them have backed off.” he turned to look back at you.

“ok mr. chosen one.” you laughed. “you’re welcome for helping with your female attention problem.”

“ok, when you say it like that it’s weird.” he laughed back. you shook you’re head, sitting up.

“it’s getting pretty late.” you commented. harry sat up too.

“yeah.” he stood up and so fid you. he picked up the bowl as you grabbed the blanket, folding it in your hands. you turned back to harry with a small smile, looking up at him.

“thanks for spending the day with me.” harry smiled back. he took a step closer to you and kissed the top of your head. your face heated up.

“n-no problem. you’re great company.” you held his hand and the two of you made your way back to the castle that is hogwarts.

•••

it was sunday night and the infamous weasly twins had the idiotic idea to throw their normally done on friday common room party.

you had to admit you were looking pretty good. the time you spent with harry on saturday really seemed to boost your mood so you wore your favorite outfit and let loose with your friends, get a little tipsy, and dancing the night away.

harry was practically drooling over you. it was one of the rare times he let himself really look at you. he couldn’t help the smile that grew on his face.

“oi, mate we exist too, ya know.” he felt the person tap his arm and looked back to see seamus with a cheeky grin. ron, dean, and neville shared the same look as they stared at him.

“what?” he said. they laughed and shook their heads. harry suddenly saw you walking towards him.

“harry!” you practically screamed.

“hello y/n.” he chuckled.

“you need to stop being a boring wallflower and dance with m-” you tripped a bit over your feet and spilled whatever was in that cup of yours on yourself. “oh no!” you exclaimed.

“godric y/n, uh,” he grabbed the cup away from you. “why don’t you get changed into something else, there’s a big red stain on you.”

“yes i can see that.” you whined. harry put an arm around your shoulder and led you to your dorm room. you opened the door and fell on your bed.

“ugh it’s so comfortable.” you sighed. harry laughed and kneeled next to you.

“do you wanna ho back out there?” he asked you. you sat back up and nodded vigorously. “get changed then.” you nodded again and went you your draws to get something new. without thinking twice, you began undressing.

“woah woah, y/n! i’m still here.” harry quickly turned around. you laughed.

“oops.” was your only comment. suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Y/N! ARE YOU THERE?!” you heard one of your friends calling for you. you covered your body with the clothes you held, you and harry sharing panicked looks.

“u-uh YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR!” you yelled back.

“YEAH D-DONT COME IN! WE’RE UH- HAVING SEX!” harry yelled after you, instantly regretted his words. you looked at him in disbelief and he shrugged.

“oh, I’LL BE GOING THEN, um SORRY!” they yelled back.

“really? we’re having sex?” you questioned.

“it was the first thing i thought of!” he replied. you shook your head.

“i bet you’d like to fuck me, huh?” you smirked. harry’s eyes went wide.

“what?” he asked. you laughed again as you opened your bathroom door and closed it to change.

•••

eventually you and harry got back to the party. you promised him you wouldn’t drink any more and went back to dancing.

after a while you found yourself sat down on a couch, listening to your friends nonsense conversation. in the corner if your eye you saw harry walking out of the common room. this was your chance. you stood up and followed him. you were going to ask harry about his feelings, maybe even confess your own. what’s the worst that could-

and there it was.

you saw harry kissing someone. but it wasn’t just someone, it was cho. you were in shock. you knew to cho’s knowledge he was in a relationship, but cho wasn’t what bothered you; it was harry. any hope that he liked you back was down the drain.

cho opened her eyes for a brief second and that’s when she saw you. she instantly pulled away. harry looked at her confused then followed her gaze and saw you. you looked like you were gonna break down in tears.

“y/n,” harry said. you ran away.

Dr. Jerkyll and Mr. Hyde (Yandere Leech twins x reader)

An au idea I had came to mind based off @yandere-wishes Victorian twst story and @yandere-romanticaa 's Extraterrestrial story.

I love these two eels and I'm late on their birthday but it's still their birthday for me.

The clear moonlit sky shown brightly over the waters of the ocean. As yet another scream echoed within the streets of a supposedly vacant city.

The detective woke up with a start but not from the scream, but from the ringing of her phone. A report she had been writing stuck to her face from the humid atmosphere. She picked it up getting a few details from Idia, who was panicking on the other side of the line. Considering he worked in the criminal department at the desk and didn't have to see any bodies whatsoever you would think he'd be calm when trying to say what happened.

"Calm down Idia. Tell me what happened?" Her voice was gentle since yelling wouldn't help his nerves.

"Therewasanothermurder! Theyclaimedanothervictim!" He spoke so fast that his words wouldn't be understood by most but she was used to this with him and every word was caught by the detective's ears.

"Where's the crime scene?"

"In front of Sam's shop on Crystal Road, Ms. Y/n L/n." The voice of Idia's younger sibling popped up a contrasting his older brother's cowardly behavior.

He wanted to be just like his older brother so he spent his days in the office with him. Though there were times when Idia tapped out and his brother had to step in.

"Thank you both. I'll head their now." She hung up after hearing a farewell from both brothers.

The candle was long out and she grabbed her gun, notebook, and pen within the darkness, before venturing out the confines of her home.

When she got there a crowd had surrounded one spot in particular.

Cater was already there taking photos of the scene as it was his job being a forensic photographer.

"Hey, hey! Y/n's here, make way!" The crowd parted for her as soon as he announced her presence.

Whispers were muttered as she passed through into the middle of the crime scene. Mostly about how she hadn't caught this killer yet. She ignored them though and went on to meet with her coworker.

"It never ceases to amaze me how your always here first Cater, if anything you should be a suspect." She started off saying to her compatriot.

"Can't help it if I want to stay informed dectective, I just want to stay informed before anyone else." His smile on his face was out of place as he took another photo of the corpse.

"Who was it this time?"

"Such a poor fate to befall dear Monsieur Heart." A new voice joined in the conversation.

"Rook, I see you've arrived but can I get their name please?" The detective said sighing at the theatrics of her friend.

"His name was Ace Trappola, I can't imagine how Monsieur Spade must be feeling about this tragedy." Rook feigned a sorrowful look.

"Oh yeah A-Deuce kun were inseparable, I feel sorry for him. Think he knows already?"

"If there as inseparable as you say Cater then I suppose not, he isn't here yet otherwise I'm sure he'd cause a scene." She noted.

"That doesn't make him a suspect though right? I mean sure he's been a suspect in many crimes before, but Deuce kun far too soft!" Cater was a bit frantic at the thought alone.

"No, I doubt it was him he wouldn't want to disappoint his mother with something as vulgar as murder, he cares for her far too much to do that." That calmed his worries.

"You know I've heard Monsieur Heart have many laments on how his delivery to Roi d' Rose-" Cater didn't let Rook finish.

"RIDDLE?! No way he did this! Have you seen how strict his mother is? Just waltzing in their office and so much as suspecting her son is a one way ticket to hearing her screams! Besides I doubt his mother would even let him out this late anyway, he's always about following the rules set in place for him." Cater says with an imaginary sweat that could have formed to express his fear and anxiety.

"True, and I can't afford another headache from that lady, but we could get some valuable intel from him about Trappola's demeanor the past few days seeing as it may be a pattern in the serial killers motives."

"What about Sam? He's gotta know something considering the murder occurred in front of his shop." Cater's gaze went toward the shop to the right of them.

"Ah the shop keep, a wonderfully eccentric man with many secrets." Rook stated his opinion of him from what he gathered on his own free time.

"Says the French man whose got info on everyone from stalking them on the street." The detective says shaking her head at the strange man next to her who happily smiled at her statement.

"I wouldn't call it that more so getting to know my prey more personally." She sighed hearing his reply.

"A crime analyst such as yourself is such a good cover up!" Cater's response made her sigh once again.

She shook her head toward her coworkers. They took their job in a mild manner but beyond that they did do well to get it done. Even though the means of how they did it were very much questionable in her eyes.

She looked toward the ground seeing the body of the former male right on the cusp of adulthood. His orange hair was a bit disheveled and the looks of shock on his face petrified in time.

"Ah, the dectective is already using those perceptive eyes of hers." Cater's words fell on deaf ears as she was examining the crime scene closely.

"As expected of Reine de la déduction, such dedication in her work. Très bien!"

Their bones were disfigured, just like the last person. No one has this type of strength it didn't make any sense. The only lead that was given but she noticed a glowing substance in his mouth.

"Cater, Rook, I need some confirmation. Out of all the other times these cases have been appearing there weren't any liquid substances to be found beside the occasional blood right?"

"You are correct."

"Yeah, nothing else to be found from what I could see." They both confirmed her suspicion.

She had to go talk to Jade again, but first thing tomorrow she had to interrogate Sam, as well as Riddle Rosenhearts which was sure to be headache on her part.

* * *

His mother was an agitation to say the least. During her entry into his mother's office and upon stating the reason for her entry, Riddle's mother had already hated her the moment she finished speaking. Yelling and hollering about how her son would never commit such a crime even though the dectective never stated he was a suspect in the slightest.

She only asked to question the behavior of Mr.Trappola as of late before he met his end. He was under no suspicion whatsoever but she wasn't having that and kept screeching until her son had to calm her down.

It was much more pleasant afterwards but the headache Y/n had in the early morning just listening to her screeching didn't disappear throughout the whole endeavour.

Just before she bid him farewell he apologized deeply for his mother's behavior with a red face of complete embarrassment. To which she replied it was alright and thanked him for his time. Unfortunately though she had to bear that burden on her own as Rook and Cater had their own jobs to partake in analyzing the other crimes and investigating the trend within the series of murders. It was unfair but that was life. By the time she exited their establishment it was already in the afternoon a little after lunch.

Next was to venture to Sam's shop which was right where the crime had taken place. The body was already removed and taken to forensics, so the only thing left was a broken street lamp.

"Ah, well if isn't the dectective, I believe I already know the pleasure of seeing you here on this fine day," He tipped his hat to her with a smile on his face.

"Afternoon to you too Sam. I would like to acquire any information you have on the murder of Ace Trappola that occurred last night, in front of your establishment."

"Such a shame the little demon, was too young to have bite the dust. But you know as well as I my information comes with a price."

"A thousand madols should suffice a description of what you saw right?" She questioned handing a stack of the paper currency to which he smiled at.

"All I know is that last night was certainly something else. I heard a smash of a lamppost outside my window, up on the second floor. Shop was already closed though. When I looked down I saw what looked to be two silhouettes outside the window. One way taller than the other though, I recognized of Trappola on the ground and something glowed within the hands of the killer, a vial of sorts. He poured it down the throat of the little demon, but Trappola put up a good fight before it was over."

"Over? Can you specify?"

"As in he was left on the ground for dead, it looked like he was choking on whatever was consumed. The killer held him tightly after he realized he was choking. It was similar to a hug but one that was more deadly than a normal one. After he dropped him to the ground and walked away laughing hysterically at who he squeezed."

"And you weren't going to go to the police to inform that you had witnessed the murderer of a serial killer!" Her voice had raised a bit in volume as her agrevated state didn't alleviate since earlier in the day.

"I'm not one to get involved in others private life, Dectective. I've got a business to run." She understood his point though exhaling a sigh through her nose.

"Right. If you want to keep your life you keep your mouth shut. Alright I thank you for the intel." The dectective closed her notebook after writing down many notes on the case.

"Pleasure doing business with ya, Dectective! Best of luck to you as well! You'll be needing it more than anyone." She was only able to hear the first part of it not when his cheery demeanor went away.

She walked out to her final destination of the day, a close friend of hers. His name was Jade Leech, a smart man that excelled in pharmaceuticals just as did Riddle's mother but in a more different sense. His potions were revolutionary with in the subject of alchemy and his botany skills and knowledge made his fame and fortune.

He's helped her on countless cases before, with his expertise in potions it aided in knowing key components to solving head bangers such as this.

As she reached the door of his manor she knocked before waiting a moment or two to see his smile.

"Dectective, how pleasant it is to see you today." He flashed his signature smile toward me, with pearly teeth straight and white.

"It's nice to see you too Jade. May I come in?"

"Your always welcome here, though I must say you do look exhausted how about I put on some tea?" He made way for me to step in.

"You don't have to Jade."

"I insist, naturally I should show good hospitality to all my visitors. Your free to take a seat wherever you like."

"So how are your mushrooms doing?" She said starting up conversation on a favorable topic for him. He was in the kitchen that connected to the empty dining room, that opened the way to the living room where she sat.

"I imagine you didn't come here just to speak on how my mushrooms are doing alone?" He spoke it in the form of a question but he already knew the answer with a knowing smile on his face that she couldn't see but knew he had.

"You are right, my apologies, I actually require your aid with a substance that could be the key in solving the recent serial killings." She watched as he walked in with two plates in hand.

"It's fine, I'm glad you can come to me for help." He served the two plates, one in front of her and the other in front of himself.

They had pasta on both of them with the mushrooms I mentioned. It smelled heavenly. Her stomach growled loudly which caused Jade to laugh lightly.

"I'm assuming you haven't eaten much of anything have you?"

"No I had too much work to do today." She blushed looking away from him.

He sighed making a small 'tsk' noise.

"You have got to take better care of yourself, that dedication of yours is admirable but otherwise you'll drive yourself into an early grave with that sort of work ethic." He chastised.

"Ah, I just don't have the time these days, I'm sorry for all the trouble you have to go through for me." Her eyes traveled toward the food with a slight guilty feeling.

"You speak as if your some sort of burden on me, quite the contrary I worry for your safety and yours alone. You may be a skilled dectective but, I care for your well being first."

Her face grew to an intolerable temperature that would make people think she was sick. She was very much surprised by his words. The first time anyone has ever said anything that endearing to her in a while.

So to ignore the feeling of her heart racing she picked up her plate kept her eyes trained on it. Her expression looked to resemble pouting.

"L -let's just eat then shall we?" She stumbled on her first word internally cursing as she heard Jade's laughter.

. . .

After they had eaten Y/n had spent some time explaining to Jade the situation with Trappola's murder and handed him the vile of the substance found at the crime scene.

He listened attentively and chimed in few times for clarity. He said he would have the analysis of the substance done within two days. Soon enough she was on her way out the door even though he had offered her to stay the night she had declined politely. It wasn't weird since they were close friends with one another anyway. Not to mention there were times where she would fall asleep while waiting for Jade to finish his analysis and he would be nice enough to place her in a room.

"Thank you Jade, I would have loved to spend more time with you, but I've been really busy as of late with all these murders." She thought for a moment and then looked up at him. He was a bit tall, scratch that he was tall, of course so she got on the tips of her toes and placed a kiss on his cheek to show him her gratitude.

Jade's face lit a flame, cheeks flushed as he touched where her lips made contact.

"I'll see you later." Was all she said before walking away briskly passed the gates of his house not looking back.

She would've heard the glass breaking inside the male's house in which indicated another presense inside.

. . .

Two days had passed and the dectective was trying to piece together what was the link between these series of murders.

She had to go check with Lilia who is the pathologist that had completed an autopsy on all the bodies of the victims. As eccentric as he was he was more tolerable than the combo of intricacies that are her co workers. Then again everyone in this office was weird in their own way.

"Ah, dectective what great weather we're having today, is it not?" He said with a smile on his face.

Unlike Jade he was significantly shorter than him so she had to look down a little to see him or stand a few feet away.

"It is indeed, Lilia. You seem to be in a good mood today."

"That is because I have made a breakthrough on today, while working through the night." His smile grew and the magenta eyes affirmed his happiness toward the news he had to share.

"On Mr. Trappola's body, I have found something strange but interesting nevertheless! A scale and not only that, but there is something you should see for yourself!" He brought her over to said man's corpse luckily the bottom half of his body is covered and the top half as well up to his shoulders.

Lilia grabbed one of his tools for dissection and beckoned her to come closer as she showed her what he had found. That's when she saw it.

Lilia had a small knife and maneuvered it to a small spot itself, lifting up a small piece of skin that was already slit and based on the size of the knife and similarity to another a butter knife it wouldn't have been able to cut the skin.

"There are two more like this on this side of his neck and three on the other side. So it seems like they're gills.

"What about the other bodies?"

"I spent the night examining those as well and they all have the same gills but Trappola here is the only one who had a few scales."

"So maybe the substance has something to do with these oddities on him. Trappola probably ingested some."

"It's quite possible that whoever this murderer is trying to test the substance on the person instead of themselves but based on Trappola's few scales being the latest attempt it seems they are making improvement for whatever the elixir's use is. These strange characteristics it reminds me of some fairytale I heard some time ago." He drifted off sounding like an old man reminiscing.

"Enlgihten me then Lilia." Knowing just how Lilia liked to ramble on about myths and legends like he'd seen them and lived through their stories.

"Well if you insist but this one involves merfolk certainly you've heard of mermaids and such right these scales on legs don't they remind you of those types of things. Gills on their necks so that half people half fish would gain the ability to breath underwater."

"Ah right but this is reality. Seeing is believing though right? Who knows though maybe they could help with the case." She was skeptic hearing about a bunch of lore that could just be coincidental but she knew better than that. Coincidents were more than just preordained.

. . .

Now back at Jade's manor the dectective was contemplating what in the world such a myth could play a factor in a murder scene. It just didn't make any sense as to why the person would need such a potion. What type of person would you have to be to go that f-

She couldn't finish that thought since Jade had opened the door.

"Ah, Jade good day to you-" the dectective looked up toward him to see the tall man staring at her for a bit longer than a few seconds. She did notice the strand of black hair usually on his right was on the left.

Unconsciously she reached up and was about to grab it before her hand was grabbed.

"Just what are you doing little dectective?" His voice got a bit darker towards the end sending shivers down her spine for a second before she saw his eyes in front of her and thought to herself for a second.

'Was his gold eye always on the right?'

A slight tighter squeeze on her hand woke her up form her head. She was reminded of the situation again. She could feel his breath closer to her face, she was internally malfunctioning and was losing her train of focus.

"Ah, I was, I was just trying to flip your black strand of hair." She stuttered and didn't internally curse herself this time since the proximity was still a factor in her brain turning to mush.

Jade suddenly smiled a wide one at that. Usually it'd be small and polite even when teasing he'd have a signature closed eyed smile keeping the adorable image of his flustered dectective in his head. But that wasn't the case this time. This smile was more menacing and sent bad news toward all who saw it.

Jade towered over her a bit more leaning to the right a bit toward her ear.

"Dectective do you know what you remind me of?" He questioned with a wide smile on his face.

He leaned in too close for comfort his breath could be felt on her right ear, while his hand on her shoulder kept her still.

"An adorable little shrimp! I could just eat you up!" He said it slow to build up suspense but it sounded serious and at the same time.

She pushed him away feeling her face heat up tremendously like an oven.

"J -Jade!" She couldn't find the words to describe what she just heard feeling beyond embarrassed and having her heart pound loudly that she swore he could hear.

"I -I have to go, thank you for your time!" She frantically stated about to run off but before she could Jade had grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Aww can't I get a kiss too, little shrimp? Besides aren't you forgetting something?" She was too put off by the request to understand the sentence, but her mind did process part of the sentence and she remembered why she came here.

He held up a folded up sheet of paper in his hands toying with her holding it out of her reach.

How could he say that in such a cool voice? Her nerves couldn't handle so much teasing, it wasn't unlike him but it seemed he had gone over his usual gentlemanly behavior.

She hurriedly kissed him on the cheek in which he hadn't expected such a quick response to his question with a blush on his face becoming apparent and his frozen stature. She took the opportunity to jump up for the paper and ran from near the doorstep bidding farewell with the sheet of paper she had took in hand leaving a blushing male to watch her run out. His smile grew as he saw her frantic behavior, excitement bubbling within him.

He ran outside to the backyard of the mansion to go share his newfound happiness.

. . .

"Jade! Shrimpy is really cute!" The one male spoke to Jade in a tone of voice that was different than that of a few minutes, one that would have made him believe he was Jade himself.

There appearances were so similar, cept for the eyes and voice they were twins after all. With a little makeup and easy voice tone change one could hardly tell the difference anyway.

"I'd thought you'd understand if you saw her up close, Floyd." Jade was actually outside tending to his mushrooms in the garden while his look alike was entertaining the female detective that had left in a hurry. Though knowing his brother he could already assume how it must have went. Thinking of his little dectective being so flustered indefinitely brought out his sadistic side a bit.

"Can we keep her?" Floyd was so fond of her seeing her turn red, hearing her heart beating loudly, when she stuttered and that kiss on the cheek pretty much sealed the deal for him. She was so full of life and it brought excitement for him since he had to stay within the manor and avoid everyone. His behavior would be brash and scare many in the public eye not only that but his strength was inhuman which could cause problems for the person on the receiving end. Especially if you were trying to blend in.

They only came from the sea to see the lives of humans and unlike one of their friends who started a business in this day and age. Jade could survive on land with the ability to easily fool others with a facade whereas Floyd couldn't do that all the time and would probably squeeze someone for no reason other than boredom.

He didn't like being confined but after seeing the dectective sleeping on the couch once, he became curious as to who she was and why Jade spent so much time helping her. He knew for a fact his brother was not at all kind or generous. He was beginning to finally understand.

"We are but you have to be patient, you did give her both sheets of paper before she ran off correct?" His brother inquired finally seeing the hunger in his brother's eyes.

"Yup, she gave me a kiss just so she could distract me and take it. Shrimpy is so cunning she makes me want to squeeze her and pay her back for catching me off guard like that." The thought alone sounded enticing to Floyd, he couldn't wait to wrap his tail around her.

"I need you to go on another 'outing' tonight we have to perfect this first if we want to have any shot at having her to ourselves." Jade's words did nothing to damper his mood as his excitement reached a new level at the thought of showing his little Shrimpy off to everyone.

They were trying to get make a potion in which a human could become a sea creature, though it was easy for Jade to make one for himself and Floyd to come on land. The same can't be said for a person that's been human and has not a single gene that ties them to the ocean. Altering genetics is difficult and delicate and one mistake and their dear little detective could end up just like those poor unfortunate souls that were test subjects. Jade would never risk bringing her with them under the sea if he wasn't sure she'd make it.

"Okay~ Jade!" He said eagerly!

Now that Floyd was on board as well he would be more motivated and inclined to help, making it more easier for Jade as he wouldn't bother and complain so much about being on land longer.

. . .

She barely slept a wink after what had occurred. Every time she thought about her encounter with Jade she'd blush and bury her face into a pillow with frustration.

She tried before to get some of her work done before that, but that didn't work out too well as her mind drifted back to the same situation.

How close he was, the warmth of his breath against her ear, it was enough to make her brain stop functioning as if he were there again.

He seemed far more clingy than usual and she didn't know how to describe it other than strange. The notes from the alchemist were neat and precise and confirmed what Lilia and her examined on the bodies earlier in the day. But that wasn't the only thing that fell from the folded piece of paper. It was another small piece with neat cursive that matched the analytics on the other page.

'Would you like to spend your day off with me?'

Yet another reason she wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight.

. . .

After getting off from work she mentioned to her coworkers how Jade had offered her to spend her day off with him. Well they asked what she was gonna do with her day off since it was a rarity. First Cater asked her if she said yes to him yet. She said no and he understood from the get go that she was way too flustered to even respond to him. So he offered to go respond to him on her phone.

Rook congratulated her and went on a rant about love even though she tried to get through his head it wasn't a date. He asked what she would wear and she had no actual clue, in which Rook took that as an invitation to lend his aid and expertise.

He brought her to one of his friend's businesses. Cater said this place was highly recommended and that anyone whose anyone came to the place for a makeover. Specifically called Vil's beauty salon and boutique. She didn't understand how a person could have both but he seemed to be managing it fine. The said shop owner gave her one look and shook his head at her appearance.

His words were, "What a poor excuse for a girl to go on date with such a potato face such as that, it's shameful for not only you but the guy as well."

He had her try on clothes and by the end of it all, she felt different. Her head hurt from all the pulling around of her hair. She had put on enough clothes that she believed she was playing dress up. The outfit settled upon was different from her usual style and she had on makeup for the first time in her life.

Rook and Cater applauded Vil's work new appearance. The dectective had to admit that when she looked in the mirror she understood why Vil had such a reputation that Cater reccomended him highly.

She had to buy all of it of course and thanked Vil immensely for his efforts. There was actually a discount considering Rook brought her and she looked so 'pathetic'. He had a victoriously smug smile on his face and complimented his own efforts before waving the trio off. She thanked her two coworkers and bid them farewell, looking forward to the her first day off in a millennia.

When she met Jade the next day at his door he was plenty surprised by her appearance. He blushed with his eyes widened in astonishment at the change. Not to mention on the side of the manor Floyd could see just how beautiful she had dressed. It was going to be a long day especially with the heels she was wearing and trying her hardest to walk in.

. . .

The two friends went to Clover's bakery where Jade offered to pay for any sweets she wanted but it seemed they were terribly busy today and the line was a bit long not mention the place was packed inside so there weren't any tables to sit in.

Trey said it was nice to see her out and about for once not on dectective business for once. He said hello to Jade as they were all friends though she only knew Trey from Jade who introduced me. On rare occasions she would go to his bakery for something sweet. He handed them two cupcakes for free but also asked for a favor for him.

"Can you give deliever Riddle this tart please? His mother isn't home and he rarely ever gets anything sweet. I usually have Ace do it but-" He looks away for a moment.

"It's fine, Jade do you-"

"It's no trouble at all, we'd be happy to." He says with an enchanting smile on his face.

Trey handed over the box containing the tart to them and they made their way over to the clinic where Riddle resided.

On the way Jade and her conversed. She asked him why he agreed so quickly and he responded with his own unique answer.

"I know it's in your nature to help others. Yet another fond trait of yours."

It's more embarrassing hearing it for the first time and out loud no less. She could feel her face heat up again.

"Then there's when you turn into a cherry, one of my favorite traits." He said in a teasing tone with a smile toward her making the dectective flush even more and look away biting into her cupcake. To ignore the laughter emitting from her friend alongside her. Now this is the Jade she knows.

. . .

To be completely honest both of them enjoyed their time today with one another. They had delivered Riddle's tart which was almost a complete disaster.

Considering she asked Jade to be lookout in case his mother came back. Long story short she did arrive earlier than expected. After she and Riddle heard her voice outside the walls right near the entrance gate, the dectective told Riddle to go before she found him with the tart. Riddle was far more worried about her but the dectective told him she'd be fine.

By fine she meant ducking in the rose bushes for cover, there weren't any thorns surprisingly all been cut off. She waited for Riddle's mother to enter the house and had to scale the wall that was located next to an alleyway. Climbing up was the easy part but getting down was the hard part. She was wearing heels and that drop looked like she would possibly break a bone if she landed the wrong way.

She came to a decision to take a leap of fate and let her heels drop to the ground. One thought passed about Vil being pissed about her ruining them. She shook her head though and pushed herself off.

Before she could land someone else caught her. Looking up at her savior she saw the two colored eyes of Jade. Who smiled happily at making it on time.

"Ah look at that, my assumption was right. I thought you'd take this route out their place. It would've been such a shame if you were to get injured."

"Thank you Jade, can you put me down now please?"

"I don't think so I'd rather hold you like this until we get to the resturant for everyone to see." He playfully said watching her face heat up.

"Wha-? N -no I can walk on my own!"

"But you might have hurt something besides someone who can't get their words out is akin to a child so they must be coddled correct?" His teasing was endless today.

. . .

After leaving the Monstro Lounge a business run by one of Jade's friends, Azul Ashengrotto, the sun had already long set.

"Let me accompany you to your apartment, Y/n it's supposedly dangerous to be out after dark correct? Or you can just spend the night again?" He offered.

"I have to decline besides I've already used enough of your generosity I don't want to take it for granted. It's been such a great day thanks to you Jade, wish we could do these more often cept for the fact I have work tomorrow." She said in a relaxed tone.

Despite all the teasing she really did enjoy herself with the man. Having her heart beating loudly all day and having her brain short circuit was all too amusing to the man beside her, but out of everyone else even his own brother she made him feel strangely different. He couldn't explain the feeling itself, but he knew for a fact he'd never do all of this for someone he would use.

"You wish to spend more time with me? I can grant that you know." Jade had said that so simply and out of the blue but in a calm tone as well.

"There's no way you can do something like that but I appreciate the thought. It's fine though you've done enough already. I'd rather not burden you with a simple wish." She said with content.

Before he could respond to that statement fast footsteps hurried over to them both and made the pair turn around.

"I saw the killer it was Mr.Leech! He ran away from the scene!" His hair was a light green, eyes full of life and the loud tone of his voice was distinct.

"Sebek what do you mean you saw Jade kill someone he was with me the entire time!We just left the Monstro Lounge Azul saw us leave!" The dectective was defensive pertaining to justice being served, not to mention her friend was being accused and she had been with him the entirely of the day.

"No it was him I saw him Felmier was killed by him!"

"Felmier was killed?! You should've started with that! Take me to the body did you make sure he was dead?!"

. . .

Sebek had spread all about the town that Jade was the murderer even though the people who had seen us together throughout the day vouched. Trey, Riddle, Azul, Rook, and Cater even Vil had seen them together. Some actually took Sebek's words in and started to distrust Jade even so.

Vil and Rook two friends of Felmier had paid for the funeral costs as Epel's family was struggling. It was admirable to see the young man take on the vicious job as Vil's protégé. It really was a shame. Vil actually kept up a face and Rook though he looked upon the casket with blank like expression it was easy to tell he was out for blood. Jade did show up to pay his respects even though some glared at him and were suspicious.

Vil came up to dectecrive during the repass and told her to make that fool pay dearly. She would of course no argument there. Epel had been a good kid and may have been a bit brash but still good nonetheless. So was Ace.

And thus a good day ended on a sour note.

The dectective would have more sleepless nights. Lilia performed an autopsy on Epel's body with Vil standing by his side to make sure he didn't damage it. Even he was shocked to see more and more scales near his legs and gills that were more prominent.

These people were getting even more closer to there goal it seemed and she couldn't do a thing. She was so frustrated at that fact alone. Jade's analysis did help some though. Looking through shops though that sold what would be the components of the elixir nothing suspicious could be found in any of the people who had brought those items. Not to mention those who did didn't have all the items brought from another store, there was no reoccurring name in sales.

Speaking of Jade though she had begun to think back to Sebek. He wasn't the type to lie not on the name of the mysterious nobleman Malleus Draconia that he served would he ever embarrass himself to stain his name even slightly. That's what Lilia told her at least.

He said Jade had did the deed. But he was with her the entire time. Come to think Sam's description had also matched Jade's strange behavior before he gave her the analysis, but it didn't make sense. Jade was one person he couldn't be in two places at once!

Maybe someone was trying to frame him and to that extent she went to go question if he had any enemies of the sort. His response was that he didn't have any as far as he knew. That could have been a good lead.

With no others she sighed looking extremely worn out and Jade had a frown seeing her state. He insisted she stay the night and she denied saying she had to finish this case even more so now. He at least offered her a meal in which he put slipped some sleeping pills that made her fall asleep after eating.

Both pairs of two colored eyes gazed at her peaceful state not liking how she'd exhaust herself with so much work. Only for the sake of others and waste time and effort for people that isn't them. It was annoying to Floyd and agitated Jade more than he liked to admit. She did say she wanted to spend more time with them right?? If only she didn't have that stupid job. Even more a reason to push the date up to the next few days.

. . .

About a week and a half had passed and the dectective had no other leads still. It was killing her to say the least. All those unfortunate victims and those families and friends that mourned definitely weighed on her shoulders, guilt eating at her insides. Such a shame too within the end of the day she was at home taking an evening nap on her day off in which she didn't even go out today. Her phone buzzed waking her up from her slumber.

A text from Jade. It had been awhile since they last talked seeing as she fell asleep at his manor again even though she didn't intend to.

Rubbing her eyes she read the text from her bright phone screen.

'Meet me at the dock at 10 today.'

She wasn't as flustered as last time in fact she considered not going as this case took top priority. But this was Jade, her closest friend, and she hadn't taken much of a break as her nap was only 30 mintues probably the only amount of sleep she would get today if she was being honest with herself.

She reluctantly sighed and decided to get ready an hour before meeting him and walk there a bit early to have some time to her own thoughts. She thought about going to Vil's shop to buy another outfit but it would have been a waste if they were only meeting for a short time. Not to mention she didn't want Vil to come to the conclusion she was slacking off with Jade even though the bags around her eyes were very much proof.

As she sat at the edge of the dock admiring the stars the waves hitting the edge of the pier calmed her head. It was nice to say the least.

She wondered what Jade would have to talk about. She looked at her phone and saw it was 10:05, Jade being late was a surprise, hopefully if she waited a bit longer her worry would ease. That atmosphere could not have lasted any longer.

A slight wind blew and during that exact moment something pulled her under by her feet into the cold ocean waters below. She managed to hold her breath and open her eyes to see nothing but darkness even with the moon behind the clouds right about now only endless shadows were there.

She could barely hear but she could have sworn something swam by her. Arms touched her waist which almost made her scream for a moment though that was something suicidal. It touch the sides of her stomach and stayed there for a moment.

Even though she tried to struggle it was fruitless when the thing that held her tickled her sides making her open her mouth and succumb to breathing in water then choking soon after. That wasn't the only thing to occur since the next second lips were on hers and a fluid trickled down her throat along with the water that she was trying to swallow. The tongue of said thing dipped inside her mouth and would have made her gag if they hadn't pulled away.

She regretted it the moment they did cause she still could breath and with her mouth open she thought she would take her final breath. Both or what she assumes were two people backed off letting her go to meet her demise with her slowly closing her eyes. She didn't notice the glow of what transpired around her lower half of her body. She could finally take in some much needed breaths except her neck for some reason felt sore and she could no longer move her legs separately to try and swim up for air.

Looking down she saw the horrid image of a long tail with a fin on the end where her legs were supposed to be. The pain form her neck was from three newly formed slits on either side of her neck. Her fingers traced over them finding this whole situation unbelievable. When she finally came to her senses she found herself hearing voices as well.

"Shrimpy's still here! It worked, Jade!" A cheerful voice could be heard in the cold waters that surrounded her.

Something slimy wrapped about her new found lower half. Pulling her closer to be within someone's arms. They held her a bit too tight like all the air, water in her lungs could have been? Did she still even have those anymore she wondered? Even still the amount of pressure put on her by the creature hugging her was able to be felt.

He was laughing happily spinning around in circles with the former human female getting dizzy by the second.

"I can see that Floyd. How wonderful, but do take it down a notch she only was just turned after all." That voice was all too familiar. She couldn't help but say it aloud, but that couldn't be true.

"Jade?" Her voice was a whisper but of course he still heard it.

"Yes, my dear angelfish what is it?" He responded in an endearing tone that was calm despite the situation she was just put through.

She glanced toward the voice to see what appeared to be a creature similar to that of an eel by the tail. Her eyes trailed up to the sight of his face. It was him no doubt about it. The eyes were exact and so was the hair the only difference was the body and skin.

"Aw Shrimpy why'd you acknowledge him first? I'm here too." A voice whined in a more child like tone directly in her ear. It brought a shiver down her spine.

'Shrimpy?' That was unmistakably the nickname Jade gave her when he acted weird.

She turned toward his way and saw a sharp toothed grin on his face when she looked at him.

"Floyd you haven't even introduced yourself." Jade sounded like his normal self and this Floyd person was just the complete opposite of him.

"Oh right Shrimpy I'm Floyd, Jade's brother and your going to be with us in the sea from now on! Isn't that great? I can't wait to show you all my favorite places you'll love it!" He sounded so excited while dread built up in the mermaid.

"What do you mean stay here?! What have you done to me? Who, what even are you two?!" She said those words with malice laced into them having them both chuckle in response.

Jade had also wrapped his tail about her upper half restraining her further. He brought himself closer to her face, a smirk etched on to it.

"My, my, Y/n you did say you wanted to spend more time with me, isn't this what you wanted?" He tilted her chin up showing a sadistic smile on his face that only built up even more dread than what his brother had already.

"I didn't realize or expected anything like this and you know that! Why would you do this?! You! You-" She thought for a second processing all that had occurred the past couple of weeks.

"You killed them you gave them that exlixir that ended their lives. Every single one of them." This time it was the other brother's turn to speak.

"There's our little dectective she's so smart!~" Floyd just made her completely uncomfortable with how he would call her that nickname and whisper words in her ear.

"Why? Why would you do this?" She became defeated knowing turf like this was theirs and she stood no chance against them in the first place.

"Eh why? Is Shrimpy really that blind Jade?" Floyd mocked her with no remorse as tears streamed down the dectective's eyes at the thought of letting so many people down.

"Why? My dear angelfish haven't you noticed? We've become quite enamored with you. Hm no better word to put it is obsessed, at first it was just me but with Floyd's impatience I just had to get him in on understanding why we didn't go back home already. As for those people they were necessary for testing the elixir for this very moment. We couldn't have you dying on us afterall." He said with absolute calmness evoking rage within the mermaid.

She clenched her fists.

"So many were sacrificed, I should've died, instead." She murmured the last half but both the twin eels heard it.

There expressions turned dark and their tails gripped the female tighter startling her from her state of guilt.

"Eh, why would you say that Shrimpy, we can't have you leaving us. We finally got you all to ourselves and I haven't had much time with you, and yet you say you want to leave." Floyd's arms contracted her more than Jade's tail already, now she understood what it must have felt like for Trappola.

"He is right Y/n dear, we only want what's best for you and having you say that only makes our blood boil so please understand." Jade gripped her chin with a scary amount of strength. This was the first time he ever seemed so much more intimidating to her.

"Don't ever say something like that again am I clear?"

From that point on she was stuck between the twin eels who loved her so. She only wished she could have been able to listen to Sebek when he said the truth. Mr. Leech did do it just not the one she thought.

Cassie:

You met through Lexi

You had a project for school to work on with Lexi and she had suggested to go over to hers.

So, one afternoon after school, you headed over to her house with your textbooks in your bag ready. You stepped towards their front door and knocked. 

The door soon opened and there she stood, looking at you quizzically as you gaped at her, suddenly losing your voice.

“Can I help you?”

“I-I uhm, yeah. Hi, I’m here to do a-uh-a project with Lexi.”

“Okaaaayyyyyy...” She drawled out her response as she side-stepped to allow you in. “She’s upstairs.”

You flashed her a goofy smile, eliciting a soft giggle from her. “T-thanks. I’ll uh-I’ll see you around?” It came out as more of a question, causing the girl to release another giggle.

“Sure.”

_______________

Jules:

You met through your parents

Both your dads’, David and Y/D/N, work together. David Vaughn was the new employee at your dads work place. They hit it off fairly quickly, becoming really good friends. Once they found out that their kids were the same age AND attend the same school, they agreed to having dinner one night.

There was a knock at the door, your mother shouted for your father to go answer. You quickly glance down at your outfit, ensuring nothing looks odd or out of place, then soon exited your room to head downstairs.

“Y/N! This is Mr. Vaughn and his daughter...I’m sorry sweetie, what was your name again?” Your mother spoke in a sweet tone.

“Jules.” She answered your mother, giving her a tight lipped smile, clearly uncomfortable in this situation.

“Jules,” your mother repeats softly, offering the girl a comforting smile, which seemed to have worked a little.

“Uh-hey, I’m Y/N.” You smile as you offer your hand to David, trying to be polite towards the guests within your home, although, all you’ve done is keep your eyes laid upon his daughter.

Jules seemed to return your lingering stare with multiple glance at you of her own.

Throughout dinner with the Vaughns, you and Jules let your gaze fall on to each other often through out the night, ignoring the adults' conversations. But alas, the night ended and Jules and her father had to head home.

“Hey, I’ll see you in school, yeah?” Jules asked hopefully, a smile playing at her lips, as you two stood by your front door.

“Uh-ye-yeah, definitely.” Y/N replied all to eagerly. Jules sent you a beaming smile and started walking backwards towards her dads car, giving you a small wave as she walked.

You sent her a smile of your own before closing the door and leaning your forehead against the wooden material.

_______________

Maddy:

You met in the cafeteria

You were enjoying your lunch in the cafeteria, midway into your sandwich, sat next to Ethan and Kat when music started to play. You looked at Kat with a confused expression as cheering erupted around you.

Then you noticed the cheerleaders gather at the bottom of the stairs, starting their routine. You placed your sandwich back down and turned your body, focusing your attention on solely on the girls in the blue and white cheer uniform.

She caught your eye almost instantly as you raked your eyes over the group of girls. The way her body moved as she preformed their choreography perfectly. 

Her eyes shifted through the crowd, basking in their reaction to the show they were putting on when her eyes met yours. Those E/C irises.

She pursed her lips and pushed out her chest more. She wanted you to notice her and she knew she was doing a good job at keeping your attention at your eyes burnt holes into her figure.

_______________

As soon as their routine showcase finished, she headed straight towards you, inwardly smirking when she seen your reaction to her doing so.

Once she reached your table, she leant over into you, purposely brushing her chest up against your arm. She grabs your phone that was previously layed face down on the table and held it out for you.

You looks at her quizzically and she rolled her eyes. “Unlock it.”

You hesitantly retrieved your phone from her grasp and did as you were told. She quickly swiped the phone back into her possession, adding her number to your contacts then handing it back to you, its rightful owner. “Here. Call me.”

And with that, she walked away, leaving you dumb founded next to a snickering Kat and Ethan.

_______________

Kat:

You met online

You were scrolling through Facebook on your phone when suddenly, a familiar face showed up under your ‘suggested friends’.

You recognised her from around school. She usually hung around people like Perez, Howard and BB whilst you prefered to stick to yourself, occasionally opting to chat with Rue, Jules or the Mckay twins, Roy and Troy.

After a small debate with yourself, you decided to tap the ‘Add Friend’ button. Without any further thought on the matter, you locked your phone and continued watching the movie playing on your laptop in bed.

_______________

Not even 5 minutes later, you had a 2 notifications shine light up your phone screen. 

‘Kat Hernandez has accepted your friend request’.

‘Message from Kat Hernandez’.

You unlocked your phone and click on her message.

‘Hey’

Almost too quickly, you typed out a reply.

‘Hey’

‘You go to East Highland, right?’

‘Yeah’

‘I thought I recognised you lmao’

Throughout the night, you talked to each other. You got to know each other with each question asked and learnt about each others humour as you shared memes between you. By 7am, you were both drifting into sleep as you talked.

‘It’s a good thing we don’t have school today x’

‘Too right. I wouldn’t know where tf I’m going lmao x’

‘lol. Ain’t you tired?? x’

‘A little, yeah but I don’t want to stop talking to you x’

‘I don’t wanna stop either but we can talk later after we’ve gotten some sleep?? If that’s ok with you?? x’

‘More than ok :) x’

‘Cool, talk later x’

‘Byeeeee x’

After that, you and Kat started to talk more during school and the rest is history. 

_______________

Lexi:

You met in class

You walked into your communications class expecting to sit in your regular seat like usual. But upon further inspection, you realised some random asshat jacked your place. 

Internally groaning, your eyes scanned the room for free seats. Then you noticed her.

You walked over to her and simply motioned towards the chair whilst gripping your back packs strap tighter. “You mind?”

She shook her head and smiled at you in response. You flung your bag off of your shoulder and placed in on to the floor near your feet as you sat down and leant back in the chair.

“I’m Lexi.”

“Hey. I’m Y/N.”

She giggled. “I know, you usually sit in the back.”

You nodded in acknowledgement, sending her a small smile. Before you could continue the conversation further, the teacher entered and class began.

_______________

“So, what if there were five birds in a row and I decided to shoot one. How many is there left?” The teacher asked. She said that using peoples answers to certain questions can help understand how ones’ mind works, hence the dumb-ass question.

“None, they would have all flown away.” You replied, casually leant back in your chair, arms folded over your chest, Lexi beside you watching, as is everyone else.

“The answer would be 4 if you look at it from a mathematical stand point, but I like the way you think none the less.”

Your eyes narrow slightly as a hint of mischief flashes across your face. You reapply a serious expression before stating “Miss, I have a question for you?”

The teacher smiled sweetly at her, leaning back on to her desk at the front of the class, hands clasped together in front of her. “Sure.”

“There’s three women sat at a bus stop eating ice cream. One’s licking, one’s biting and one’s sucking. Which is married?” Your mouth twists into a smirk as her face falls slightly and the other students in the class snicker.

Lexi seemed to find this amusing. Exactly what you wanted.

The teacher shifted slightly, fumbling with her fingers as she hesitantly answers. “The one sucking.”

“The answer would be the one wearing the wedding ring if you look at it from a logical stand point, but I like the way you think none the less, Miss.”

Laughter erupts from the students. “Alright, settle down. Another “question” from you, Y/LN/, and you can take yourself to Principal Hayes office.

You raise your hands in front of you, feigning surrender. From the corner of you eye, you see Lexi trying to contain her giggles and it makes you smile triumphantly.

Suddenly, something bumps your left knee, enticing you to look at Lexi. She slides over a bit of scrap paper she scrawled on towards you.

‘Wanna sit together at lunch?’

You nod in reply then turn your focus back to the teacher. In your peripheral vision, you see Lexi sporting a small smile and a light pink tinge on her cheeks.

 _______________

Rue:

You met in rehab

“Marissa! Baby! What’s up with you today, beautiful.” The young rehab worker rolled her eyes at your routine flirtations.

You had just woken up to another day in the centre and your favourite pass time was to annoy any and all staff ‘cause, let’s face it, you’re an asshole.

“Good morning to you too, Y/N.”

“So, what’s on the agenda today?”

Before Marissa got the chance to dignify you with a response, the doors at the end of the hall swung open, drawing your attention to them, as they revealed the new girl in a maroon jacket walking beside Dr. Jowett.

“Who is that?” You asked slowly, not removing your eyes from the girl.

Marissa, yet again, rolled her eyes at your antics. “That’s Rue, she’s a new resident. And before you even try anything, you know any form of relationship past friends is against the rules.”

“Hey! Who said I was gonna try get in her pants? Is this the result of jealousy? Did I make you jealous, Mari?” You smirked as the young girl snorted whilst shaking her head.

“You wish, Y/L/N.”

“Oh, I definitely do.” You waggled your eyebrows towards her before leaving to sit in the communal room.

As you sat at the table, you noticed the doctor and, who you now know is called Rue, stop at the entrance of the room. You watched closely as she hesitantly walked into and across the room, opting to sit alone at one of the many tables.

After no debate needed, you got up from where you sat and walked confidently over and perched yourself into the chair beside her, resting your one foot on the table and an arm over the back of the chair.

“So, newbie, how you finding the mainland of sobriety?”

She shrugged in response whilst keeping her gaze trained on you.

“Don’t worry, you can say it sucks if you want, I won’t tell.” You winked at Rue and she allowed a small smile to appear on her face. “I’m Y/N, obviously the coolest person in this place.”

“I’m Rue.”

“Oh, I know.” You smirked as you drank in her expression. “I think we’re gonna get along just dandy, Rue.”

Her face flushes a light pink as her smile conveys a soft of sweetness, very different to Marissa. There may be rules against relationships in this place but...

When have you ever listened to what people tell you?

First preference AND piece of work on Euphoria

Two in one baby!!

I honestly had a bit too much fun with these, even if the end result is kinda shitty

Although, I like some of the scenarios so much, I’m thinking of doing longer fics like imagines or one shots extending from them like the rehab one for Rue

Anyways, I hope you enjoy. Like if ya do as it will help it reach more reader

As always, constructive criticism and requests are welcomes and greatly appreciated :D

[ravendruid]

Hello! I recently came across your fics and I love them! Could I maybe ask for a prompt where either Vex or Percy gets jealous? I don't think I ever read that in a fic.

Hi! Thank you so much for reading my fics! It means a lot to me :'D I'm always happy to take prompts, and I will always do my best to write them! I assumed you meant jealous of Vax/Keyleth. I hope that's okay! I picked Vex because I couldn't imagine a scene where Percy gets jealous. I hope you like it, it was really fun to write! Consider this a drabble for Be In My Eyes.

Vex had an assortment of books laid out in front of her on the kitchen table, some of them highlighted in multiple colors, others had notes on the margins, but the only thing they all had in common was the million little plastic tabs she used to mark pages. She was trying to focus on the graphic of the human skeleton in front of her when Vax let out a particularly thunderous laugh.

Open floors are great ways to make a house feel bigger but terrible for studying, especially when you only have access to one desk in your bedroom, which was taken by Pike at the moment. 

“Can you guys please just… less?” She asked her brother.

Vax looked at her in shock. He and Keyleth had been playing games on the console for hours, and they wouldn’t stop talking and laughing loudly. Vex could feel herself reach her boiling point.  

“Sorry.” He mumbled, returning his attention to Keyleth, whose face was red as a tomato. 

Vex tried to focus again on the graphic, writing down the names of the different bones and trying to memorize where they were located. She hadn’t even reached the ankle bones when Vax screamed in triumph after finally beating Keyleth at the game they were playing.

“SERIOUSLY! Is it much to ask for a moment of silence in this house?” Vex’ahlia burst. She had gotten up so suddenly that the noise of the wooden chair hitting the floor made her jump. “UGH. Fine!” She groaned, collecting her things and stuffing them haphazardly inside her backpack.

“Vex, I– - Keyleth got up from the couch and tried to apologize, but Vex just ran past her, quickly slipped on her shoes, and walked out, slamming the door behind her.

“Vex’ahlia.” Vax caught up to her before the elevator did, and Vex had no choice but to face him angrily.

“What, brother.” She spat the last word.

“What was that all about?” Vax looked genuinely confused.

“I don’t know, you tell me. You know that we have a big exam coming, and I’ve been having trouble keeping up with classes.”

“You could have just let us know we were being loud. We could have gone to my bedroom or something.” Vax tried to reach his hand to touch his sister’s arm, but she pulled away.

“Oh right, because that’s exactly what I would have wanted to see… Gods, Vax. Just leave me, and I’ll be fine. Go back to Keyleth!”

“Vex’ahlia, are you jealous?” Vax chuckled incredulously. 

Just as she was about to tell him to fuck off, the elevator behind her dinged and the doors opened to show two girls standing inside, a tall blonde girl they had met on their first day and a shorter girl they didn’t recognize, who were both looking at the twins expectantly. Vex’ahlia scorned her brother and walked inside the elevator, pressing the button to close the doors.

“Vex, pleas–”

The last thing Vex saw before the elevator’s doors closed was her brother’s pleading eyes. What if she was jealous? What if she wanted her brother to spend more time with her? She was his twin. They were all they had in life. So what? “Ugh! Men…” She grunted, forgetting she was not alone and jumping at the sound of the two snickering girls behind her.

[shadowfae]

hiii! so a friend directed me here and i was wondering if u cld share abt how you found out you were godkin? only if youre comfy! because ive kinda had like. how do i word this. Vibes or Feels that kinda direct me towards the whole i might be a god of sorts kinda thing ? if you have resources and dont mind helping,, please direct me to them :D ~ @missing-crown

I want to start this essay off by saying flat out: wars have been fought, genocides have been committed, and empires have risen and fallen trying to answer the simple questions of “What is deification, and how do we incarnate and control it?”.

If you do not think you’re up the challenge of answering that question for yourself, even with years of study and slow training to take up the mantle of literally being the most powerful form of the Chosen One trope, then you’re probably in the wrong place. I say this as someone who is deific down to the blood and bone, as someone who has looked for other gods, and largely found very little in the way of anyone who understands anything like my experience. In this way, I am utterly alone, and I detest it, but if me penning these words gives someone else the gospel they need to explain themselves in a way I recognize as kin and kind, then I will do it.

But before I truly get into it, I will very nicely ask you to swing down to your local bookstore or library, pick up a copy of Seanan McGuire’s Middlegame, and take a walk down the improbable road with Roger and Dodger. The differences between you and I and the twins of the Doctrine of Ethos are simple and threefold: we cannot manifest, we are forbidden to use our powers the way they can use theirs, and there are (hopefully) no secret alchemist cults trying to murder us when we don’t play nice with their fucked-up science experiment.

Roger and Dodger are gods, true gods, gods I recognize in myself and in the godkin I have met who have spoken about themselves enough for me to understand that we are indeed talking about the same thing. Disappontingly, I see minor spirits far too often misunderstanding the nature of deification, or at least, understanding a version of it which is fundamentally antithetical to my experience. They may be deific; but either they suck at illustrating their point, or I am something far beyond deific, and I am again alone.

With that introduction, I need to talk about three things in order to answer your question. Two methods of deification and three definitions of ‘god’ in a hierarchy that only exists because humanity has not yet perfected their understanding of what is fundamentally and always beyond them. Two kinds of gods, honest gods, that split the difference between deific, divine, and legendary. Once you understand that, I can talk about godkin, and what it’s like to be me, and maybe by the end of it you will either recognize yourself in this, or run away screaming as most mortals will do.

The first method of deification is what I will call the incarnate gods- Roger and Dodger are good examples, so are most Legendary Pokémon, and Kaname Madoka from PMMM. They are laws of nature, concepts of creation, and calculations of cosmic proportions that also occasionally exist as people when they design to do so. They are not meant to be people, they are bad at it, I do not recommend being mortal and fucking around with them. You will simply die. I would not fuck with them outside of my own world that I created, where I get to be a form of incarnate god. You cannot overpower them: they ARE the rule, and they will change it if they need to. You can’t ruleslawyer gravity like a 2007 troll physics comic. An incarnate god of gravity will simply turn reality on its head and cause you to implode. If you are this type of god, I cannot help you. My understanding of them comes from being an Absol, and little more.

The second type are gods of domain and prowess: Zamorak (from RuneScape), Akemi Homura in both her awakened Witch and Devil forms (from PMMM), and yours truly. Quite a few of us, although not all of us, were originally mortal. Mortals amped up on so much power we are no longer bound by mortal laws. There is a difference between deification and simply stopping your clock to gain immortality. Mortal magic and deific magic are fundamentally different. Down to, I would argue, the atomic structure. Deific magic is pure in a way mortal magic could never be. To give a mortal more than a drop of deific magic heavily diffused in something safer and more understandable would be to quite literally burn them to ashes. Or rend them into a different, unspeakable form. Or turn them into living topiary. We are nothing if not unpredictable.

It’s the difference between a handful of dirt and pure neutron soup. Usually, in order to become a god like this, it requires the intervention of an incarnate god in some form. In Zamorak’s case, it was several Elder Artifacts and falling almost facefirst into halfway incarnating himself into the law of entropy. In Homura’s (at least in canon PMMM), she fucked with the laws of consequence and time to the point where she became the only expert they had on either of those and both laws decided to simply incarnate into her, and then she used that to cause problems. For me, it was having my entire magical and physical structure reorganized and rebuilt by an incarnate god of malevolent energy, and then I used what was a watered-down copy of the Devil of Devils’ glory to weave my own world into being where I was more or less the absolute arbiter of the laws of reality.

In PMMM Rebellion, when Homura fights Kyubey in that pretty lace dress of hers, that is approximately the magical prowess an awakened god of our capability will show casually. She has complete control over her domain (her labyrinth) and the reality of it, it takes no more than a glance or a thought to almost entirely reshuffle it. Her minions, who are little more than vaguely autonomous thoughts given some power of their own, may break that reality in whatever means necessary so long as it is to fulfill Homura’s current motives. Her domain falls apart when she does, and she is not separate from it; it is a consequence of her existence. Asking what came first, the god or their domain, is a simple chicken and egg question. It’s usually the domain, in our case; in the case of incarnate gods it’s a philosophical shrug and a nice headache.

You’ll notice I said awakened: that is because Zamorak is a great example of a god who isn’t entirely awakened. In canon, that is - the one I work with is awakened enough to fuck with his domain, which is what makes him quite useful to work with, although I do wonder what he’s getting out of me if not magical theory and utter adoration. Zamorak in canon is a god who ascribes himself to the philosophy of chaos and personal strife, completely unaware that he is incarnate enough not to change the law of entropy but to suggest things to it. He’s a god of chance masquerading as a god of personal improvement, and once he figures that out (and passes that knowledge onto Armadyl, who is his true light counterpart), he’s going to change the very way magic works. Guthix did everything in his power to try and become incarnate. He failed. Zamorak did it entirely inadvertently, and that’s the trick: the nature of deification is to follow the domain and influence it to your will. When laws of existence become people, they will do as people will, and people typically have ambition. Gods who are also people got that way for a reason. They always have a motive for doing so. It’s never accidental.

So, with a slightly more informed understanding of deification, or at least the versions of it that I understand, I can talk to you about me. What it’s like in the here and now, and how I knew. It took me years to get to this point, and I’ve much the way to go. I know more than I did when I was questioning; deeply more so. I don’t expect anyone questioning to be as sure as I am, and in ten years I will be far more sure of entirely different things, and if I’m lucky, this as well. But, let us begin again.

To be deific is to wake up in the middle of the night feeling like a black hole. You are vast, and you are dense, and the moment someone touches the skin of your sternum they will be sucked in like a movie's portrayal of quicksand. To be so vast on the inside, surrounded by empty air and gentle white noise like the faint pull of gravity that does not touch you. To feel so powerful as to be untethered wholly from the world, aware that you will blink and be floating alone in a space that you cannot touch and so too cannot touch you. You blink, and it is gone, and you are again in a normal body as a normal person, and you roll over and go back to sleep.

To be deific is to watch the seasonal changes and feel flashes of worn leather rope between your hands and the maddened singsong of the Wild Hunt, chariot reins in your hands and baying hounds that feel like fingers, like wings, like extensions of yourself that can be shifted around with barely a thought. To feel halfway like a black hole walking down the street, halfway caved into yourself and barely contained, incapable of truly understanding how you can be so far apart from it all without anyone noticing that something is off.

To be deific is to be a fourteen-year-old girl in one moment, unable to understand what draws her so to the wilds if not the song of sympathy that she knows she can understand if she reaches a little farther, a little farther past the barrier that prevents any mortal, psychological mind from understanding the call. To play a pixelated game and have everything rush back. To relive millennia in a single sennight, to go from chipped to broken, utterly broken, as the power comes rushing back and the slow, dawning realization like the day that there is no controlling it. That there is no controlling you.

Millennia of sins come rushing back, and you're mortal again, and you know the only way to bring a god to their knees is to kill them. And if you were spared, if you were brought down without dying, then there was a reason. That someone must have thought you worthy of fixing it. That you should now spend the next several years coming to peace with being a Devil, the cruelest of the cruel, amending fences and repenting your sins.

To be deific is to realize, quite suddenly and without ever actually having the thought, that understanding things through a Christian lens is utterly bullshit and absolutely does not apply to you. Now, your duty is not to repent, or to fix, or to find any sort of salvation. You are the monster queen, the king of the damned, the Devil of a world you made with blood and tears and sweat and magic. To retake the crown, you have to accept yourself. Acceptance does not mean dwelling, or sorrow, or refusing to take the steps forward that will carry you to the crown and halo and horn of deification.

The powers feel less overwhelming as you grow into them. You don't forget the rage. You understand your close friend's words over and over, as the lesson teaches itself. How a Devil so much less powerful and yet so much older than you once looked you in the eye, drink in hand, and gently told you that a single mortal can bring down a Devil, if they try, and believe wholeheartedly in their quest. Do not disrespect mortality. It brings nothing but death.

You wonder briefly who brought you down. You decide, as the lessons prove themselves, that you don't actually care. You're the mortal now, and mortal legends die. Mortal legends change the song of sympathy and the rules of the deific. In order to return, you too must follow the only path a mortal can take to become deific.

To be godkin is to become deific with every step. It's not to seek the divine from outside of it. It's to become it again, and reclaim it; find what was inside all along and grow yourself around it, until it can no longer be pulled from you again without scattering your ashes and stardust among the cosmos, never to return.

To be godkin is to never forget the moments of pure rage that none but powerless fourteen-year-olds can manage. To be godkin is to be an adult with their memory pressed into your skin. To be godkin is for that rage to never truly leave you.

We stand up again and stare at the emotions that are awake when we are not. We wonder what it will take to manifest again, to only twitch a thought in any direction and reshape the reality around us. It is an extension of our being, and the less aware we are of it, the less effort it takes us to remake the world. It is the nature of deification, to change the laws of reality at our whim and will.

To be godkin is simply a matter of knowing that, and forever reaching to do that once more. If only to feel whole and vast, as we always have been.

So, you guys, I really love world-building, so lemme tell ya: I’m really digging the turn the current OP cover arc’s going down, to the point it’s got me about in equal time with the rest of the story, except the rest of the story has more revealed and now I’m just sitting here week to week with a single panel of information at a time and sorry but ch.1070 spoilers under the cut.

so, like, if we go by the current ages listed, plus the fact that Yonji seems too stupid to lie about it, then we can safely infer that Cesar Clown was a teenage prodigy and that’s why Vegapunk babied him all these years, but also why he’s a whiny piece of shit... he just never matured and showed the negative side of that life

speaking of the Clown--his horns are still there. is he half-mink? DID MR. CESAR’S DAD SHAG A GOAT?! we already know there’s fish-shaggers in this world... so...

also they all look like those rifles should be guitars/basses and we should be ready for a rocking good time

MIZ GARTERS, WHO ARE YOU?! there are multiple possibilities and here are my top twelve:

Kureha (which I think would be in line with Oda-sensei’s sense of humor, tbf, to get people pumped about such a girly and cool look and BAM next week is just an extreme close-up of her 116yo mug)

Stussy (if Stussy is actually a bazillion-year-old vampire)

Olvia (low probability, but possible)

Mrs. Luffy’s Mom (WHERE IS SHE?!)

Vinsmoke Sora (if this is how she met Judge I will be so upset)

Portgas D. Rogue (you’d likely need advanced medical knowledge to be able to trick yourself into being pregnant for 20 months straight w/the same baby, so probability’s better than Olvia that’s for sure)

Lilith (or who she’s modeled after lolololol)

a completely new character who conveniently slats into a bunch of plot holes I’m not even thinking of at this current time

Mrs. Law’s Mom (could be weirder)

an elder Charlotte daughter (again, could be weirder)

gonna go out on a limb and say an okama character, previously seen or unseen, or just some dude whose legs look that damn good in heels and stockings, bc the man loves fcking with us like that

crocodile or an unknown-until-now-sister, for all those who believe in such things (i don’t go here but at this point it’s oda-sensei anything’s possible so I’m open to the idea and won’t be mad if it goes there and knowing a sister used to work for the wg would be enough for iva to dangle over croccy let them be petty idc how or why)

God, I still hate Vegapunk’s face

i mean just look at him

i can’t be mad at oda he gave us so much beefy beefcake over the years he deserves some misses i mean look at zoro’s tits the man’s allowed vegapunk looking punchable

i also need to know if lu feld and du feld are indeed the same person just spelled wrong or the same person just bad alias or two separate people such as an evil and eviler twin

how fcking toxic of a work environment was this I need teaaaa

why rifles tho

i know there’s, like, six people in the background but the way my eyes work is that they perceived an extra torso for no reason towards the bottom of the page and I was wondering for half a moment if the perviest Fruit of them all was gonna get another doomed wielder

oh yeah aloha o’e to this arc’s fashion sense vegapunk does at least have that going for him

can queen stop existing plskthnx

judge did some serious beefing up in a small amount of time wtf

or maybe oda-sensei can’t tell time--don’t blame him if that’s the case, honestly
