HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEARTS ౨ৎ⋆˚｡⋆

being highschool sweethearts with sakuya ⊹♡

sakuya x f.reader

genre. fluff, hc

wc. 0.4k

a/n. felt inspired to write this after the post on wishes instagram where saku is wearing a pink bag (link slide 6) hes so cutie

➛ saku is the type of guy who carries your bag for you. even if you’re not tired, he’ll take your bag off of your shoulders and sling it on his instead. i feel like he loves doing this because it shows that he’s taken without having to do much ˃̵ᴗ˂̵ 

➛ when you’re tired or sleeping in school, he gets you snacks/drinks from the cafeteria and quietly leaves it at your desk so you can wake up to it. 

➛ during lunch, he gives you all the sides that he knows you like and plays it off, saying how he doesn’t like that one, even though you know he does. 

more under the cut!

➛ he will allllllways share his notes and loves to study with you (even if you guys barely get anything done) and although he doesn’t like studying and taking notes, he takes them just in case you aren’t paying attention in class and gives them to you after. 

➛ after exams, he brings you out to the bakery near campus and treats the both of you to a billion pastries and breads. 

➛ he lowkey loves telling his friends he can’t hangout with them because he has a date with you but he’d never tell you that. 

➛ has a huge soft spot when it comes to you!!! you touch his cheeks? he doesn’t mind it, loves it in fact (🤓) but when it comes to anyone else? he’s dodging like his life depended on it. oh and you, without question, have gf privileges. 

➛ saku appreciates a good matching opportunity, and with you, he will take every. single. one. your bag is adorned with a bunch of keychains, all matching ones with sakuya. each and every ring on your fingers were ones that you bought with sakuya. the pens in your pencil case are the ones that came in a set with the ones sakuya has.

➛ he ends up decorating everything you own. your phone case? it has cute stickers that he stuck on it. your pencil case? it has little doodles that he drew while bored in class. your airpod case, powerbank, and calculator? drawings were scribbled all over them. but don't worry, they’re cute (duhhh he loves u, he’d never mess up your stuff) 

➛ every single class you have together, or free period you spend with one another, he cherishes. it doesn’t matter if you’re doing nothing or if you’re frantically writing down everything before your teacher wipes it off the board, he just enjoys your presence ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )

I need to start planning inukag week omg i'm so sorry life has been a little insane lately!!!

[make-much-of-time]

The urge to write an anderperry fic where it's Todd being stuck sith chemistry and Neil teaching him chemistry bc I.............. like.............. chemistry now? What is happening to me.

[tartppola]

Does anyone know what the timeline of the TWST main story is??? iirc Heartslabyul takes place in September before Ace’s birthday. Actually I think Prologue & Heartslabyul spans at least a week at max 😭😭

Savanaclaw is probably Late October… purely bcs I don’t think they’d do a school festival so early into the year

Octavinelle is like November-> Early December to me bcs it’s the midterm exam period, & idt they’d do exams right after a festival, but who knows…

Scarabia’s over winter break so December ->January

Pomefiore is probably??? somewhere around January as well?? Because I remember it was still snowing from the cutscene that Prefect has with Kalim abt his disappointment on not being a main singer. I’m betting on Late January at earliest. And Ignihyde takes place literally the night after Pomefiore 😭😭😭 This is also just guesswork based on how far up north the Sage’s Isle is, I assume the winters last longer there.

As for Diasomnia I got no clue at all 💔💔 all ik is that it should be getting warmer bcs of the reactions the characters have towards Malleus causing snow & winds to pick up… I used to think it was March but it probably isn’t 😭

if anyone would like to refute/add onto anything please feel free to do so!! This is all just guesswork 🙏🙏🙏

Having some G.E.A.R.S. University thoughts. Based on real, actual things that have happened over my real, actual university experience, things aren't actually *that* far-fetched.

Houses stealing each others' mascots and holding bitter grudges over it? So real. We regularly steal other schools' mascots and ransom them back in exchange for silly and embarassing acts. Our mascot, a miniature functioning cannon, was once spirited away overseas by a former student. (We now have a team of cannon guards who chain themselves to the cannon for its safety, and an anonymous chief who wears a blacked out face shield attached to their hard hat and keeps the cannon safe during downtime). Mystraven stealing the Drakylon Cube and the Wolfblade to put them in the Labyrinth is pretty in-line with engineering prank culture, if anything it's not intense enough. I just want to see them demand Wolfblade and Runehawk provide "a hand-painted portrait of the other house's logo done with their non-dominant hands", "9 bottles of mocha cola cooled to exactly 2.7⁰C", and "one first year student to join mystraven as a human sacrifice" in exchange for their mascots (all based on real prank ransoms I've seen). Maybe the other houses should establish a mascot guard.

Pizza stuck to the wall indefinitely in dorms? On move-out day in my residence I witnessed a toothbrush embedded in the ceiling and garbage bags piled to the ceiling of the garbage rooms and down the hallway. People let mold grow on their food in the communal fridge until it was 4 different colours and thick as chinchilla fur and I, someone who didn't even USE that fridge, disposed of it. The hero's dorm room is actually pretty clean in comparison to some of the stuff I've seen. When their desk is piled in papers and their floor is covered with dirty laundry, I'll believe they're an average university student.

I've never had a professor make anyone wear a dunce cap, but my first year physics prof probably would have if he could have. He called students idiots to their faces in front of a whole lecture hall, and had a list of "content-free phrases" on his official department website- including such terms as "stakeholder", "partnership", "facilitate", "leadership", and "ecosystem". He has tenure and is a federal research chair. Aleysia probably has incredible job security and just does whatever she wants in response.

The real-life equivalent of the G.E.A.R.S. entrance exam was the frosh week "entrance exam" we were told was administered by the faculty. It was intentionally so hard it was improbable to get more than ~4 questions in, and even included ones that were literally, mathematically, impossible to solve. It was, in fact, a prank by upper years. But it did accurately set the tone for the rest of the program.

The real-life equivalent of Aleysia's "I'm pitting you against 4 enemies because I want you to fail" is a calc II prof who declared the class average of 58% on a midterm was "too high" and increased the difficulty of the next one. (Said prof also learned the school was ending in-person classes when the pandemic hit, decided to try and teach the rest of the course material in the final in-person one hour lecture slot, told us to read the textbook, and never taught us another thing for the rest of the remaining month of classes. And then the exam was 24 hours long (yes, actually. 24.) and the hardest thing I've ever done.) You just know Mecha Combat 101 students are chanting "pray for the curve" after every assessment.

The hero having 4 jobs around town AND doing Hero Stuff on top of schoolwork is just a turbo-charged version of my dear friend who had a full-time job, was head of a club, and was acing 8 courses (standard is 6, he had to petition the faculty to let him take more than 7).

Not to feed a mean stereotype, but our electrical engineering common room smells so badly of body odour that they have air fresheners everywhere. The cockpits of student mecha probably smell atrocious and people probably need a bundle of those little rearview mirror air fresheners for cars dangling over their pilot's station. G.E.A.R.S. student welcome package: mecharoni coupon, baby's first pilot uniform, directions for how to get to Specific Hospital, and 50 air fresheners.

There's a guy who for years rollerbladed everywhere. I once saw him rollerblade out of the bathroom and down the stairs. No one questioned him. I once brought a rat carrier to class and no one looked at it twice. Maybe it's not quite Hugh Munn level, but you can do some really odd stuff and nobody bats an eye. They all have midterms to study for, there's no time to worry about what you're doing. So sure, maybe that guy's a suspicious alien imposter, but you missed the last tutorial and he has good notes so the rest is none of your business.

Pulling up to lecture halls and having to sit on a chair to the side because everywhere else is full does happen. I've been in lecture halls so large and crowded, people in the back were using binoculars to see the chalkboard. In first year I sat on the floor for more than a few lectures when there were no seats. I feel the hero's pain, but at least they got a stool.

The lesson in M.A.T.H. is actually legit wisdom that we discuss in real engineering classes. Standards with clearly defined metrics are important, yo. This isn't an absurd occurances bit I just thought it's important. Sarrina is correct even if forcing students to measure between half the buildings in Soluna City is a bit Much.

We have a course that for a major project, asks us to use contact cement (which produces extremely strong fumes) to build a prototype bridge. They do not provide respirators. It's basically a rite of passage for first years to get high off contact cement by accident working on this project until 3am. We have another that asked us to design a "launcher" with very little regulation as to what that meant (and we were literally encouraged to "squirrel" around definitions), and set us loose in a school building to work on it- resulting in rogue projectiles nearly taking innocent bystanders out all week. I've seen people duelling with previously mentioned bridge prototypes as swords, zapping each other with electronics components they were supposed to use for lab projects (do not do this), dropping dry ice down each others' shirts (do not do this), and genuinely wanting to eat the gel we use for gel electrophoresis (do not do this!!!). I am not at all fazed by the idea that students are invited to and willing to attack each other with live rounds in their mecha or with deadly energy blades on foot. Frankly, I could see it happening on our campus if we had the technology.

Lastly, I want you to know: all of the G.E.A.R.S. profs need to be weirder. I love Denara, Aleysia, Anastasia, Tsuba, and Sarrina- but they need to be weirder. My calc I prof is an aeronautics genius but apparently doesn't believe in climate change. My Intro to Computer Programming prof showed us a selfie he took with Snoop Dogg. My intro Civil Engineering prof spent more than half of our lecture time talking about ancient roman bridges. My Thermal Physics prof followed a math proof with "I hope you're convinced, or disgusted, or whatever.", and spouted such wisdom as "there are dangers to going to Antarctica, like you may come home to find your wife has bought you a dog.", "computers are born to suffer", "Everything is a spring at low amplitude, just ask the mechanical engineers", "If you're a level 7 log mage you can do this proof, but I'm only a level 6, so I won't", and "close is just another name for wrong". My ordinary differential equations prof was obsessed with shoehorning boba into every example problem. My developmental bio prof insisted we only call him by first name and loved fruit flies, to the point that any time he showed us an image and asked us what it was, "fruit fly" was a safe answer. My materials science prof posts pictures of grocery store fruit displays he sees to his twitter to talk about what molecular crystal structure they're stacked in. People who become professors are always just a little weird. The G.E.A.R.S. profs are too normal and serious, if you leave aside the "throwing students into mortal danger" thing.

I want to see Denara, exhausted from writing grant proposals, blasting an air horn to make her talkative class shut up so she can start lecture. I want to see Aleysia go off on a 20 minute long tangent about her extremely niche field of research when she's supposed to be lecturing because this specific style of mech is just so fascinating. I want to see Anastasia, desperate for student engagement in lectures, showing memes about course content in her lecture slides. I want to see these profs be so experienced in their fields that it doesn't occur to them that their students might not have ever heard of the concept they're covering, and just breeze right through it like it's obvious. I want to see "do as I say, not as I do"-style approaches to safety from the teaching staff who do demonstrations of maneuvers that could destroy their mech and injure them if they make one wrong move because their hubris is enormous now that they have tenure and good disability insurance (here's looking at you, Sys-Zero. I saw that gratuitous barrel roll). I want G.E.A.R.S. profs who feel like academics.

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."

So uhm instead of doing my 8 essays due Tuesday morning I went down a rabbit hole learning about the romance farming sim Fields of mistria. And I adore Ryis so much....I've spent hours finding out about what I can of him becuz I can't play the game before the end of November...

My s/i and him would be perfect for each other... First of all he loves birds like HELLO.! When I learnt that fact I had multiple exclamation marks on top of my head I think. And it's not even a one-off thing he mentioned, I'm pretty sure it's established as one part of his personality. He also builds bird houses. And he has a feather collection. He is just like me for real.

Ok continued with lots of words down here Woops

He's so kind and creative... He does woodworking, and some of the gifts he loves can be carved on as mentioned in the item's description. It's crazy becuz I have an oc (ik I don't post about my oc's but they're always brewing in my head) who also likes to carve intricate patterns on wood (he has a wooden arm he carves on, and likes Batik patterns and the artfulness of Wayang Kulit which is Malay shadow puppetry.) like bro. Okay. And it means he's also an artist of sorts...Um yeah I'm projecting traits of that OC into the art we'd like to do together. I think my s/i would like to carve cool patterns with him... Like what if we carve birds... And they would love to sit outside and watch birds and try to sketch them together. Not to mention that one of the events you can do with him as part of a romance stage is. Planting a tree together. I'm normal. Like hello. Planting a TREE as a symbol of your love I think that's so crazy to me it's having me so whipped. And he's so down to earth I think he moved from the city to the more village setting of the game and also he was important in helping the village recover from the earthquake becuz of his skills and also he's very lovable for his kindness I think. I'm so invested now but my essays 😊 my esssayyss.... Oh yeah he also reminds me of Kiawe becuz he dresses like he works on a farm and it was my first impression... Also I think red is his color (one of his outfits is blue though. My s/i's color but it's whatever it's nothingggg that doesn't mean anything to me) and his personality is similar to kiawe's. They both have creative interests, work with wood in some way (kiawe's staff is wood okay it's more of a stretch but. Yeah haha) they're both hardworking, relatively quiet people but very kind. Help me

oh my god I survived finals week. is that sexy of me or what

[humblefryingpan]

I've cried 4 times today over the same thing and like every single time I am alone in a room I start sobbing

I'm tired so I put my phone down but istg the second I put it down I started thinking ab it and nearly started crying again and had to get it back on

I feel like a vampire count awakened from my slumber once more to rejoice at the oncoming of the court of Sunshine

[quibbs126]

I just realized I probably will not be able to play the new update tomorrow morning because I instead have to study for my POLS exam that morning

[dorkylittleweirdo]

Me to my emt students: if you guys are gonna get covid it better not be during fucking finals week, wear a goddamn mask when you go out and self isolate for the last month bc you can't make up these exams and practicals so you'll have to retake the entire class

My emt students: *testing positive for covid during fucking finals week*

Me:

When you're 19, the only thing in the world that matters is doing something important before you turn 20, I remember being 19 and it is just like that

[minglana]

what if i killed myself in front of the professor to alter the course of his life forever. that way no one would have to do the exam
