#like we're not gonna go back to having it not be slightly weird and awkward. and it's a nice conversation

[br1ghtestlight]

this always feels like a conversation between lily and bob to me (except when lily died bob was too young to have these types of conversations, but maybe like a dead lily talking to bob as an adult) like personality wise idk

especially when he says "you're a special case though" and she's like "that's cause im your momma >:D" and laughs that feels very in character for lily despite us knowing not very much about her. i rewatch this scene a lot when im trying to write lily focused fanfic especially with the stuff about stage four breast cancer

Ben Hargreeves x Reader

I would've married you if you'd stuck around🐙

sorta s4 spoilers? but nobody takes the Marigold and lived their life.

plus I'm changing things because... yeah.

I walk into the birthday party for little Grace, who is one of Diego and Lila's children with her birthday present in my hand. It's just a silly child's keyboard because what the fuck do you get a six year old?

I make my way through the swarm of running and screaming children, the part of me that never grew up hurting because that's the childhood I always wished to have, yknow, running about, screaming my head off with all my friends but no, at the age of six I was learning how to disarm gunmen and learning how to control my powers.

God my life has gotten so much better without them.

Once I'm out the swarm of children, my eyes instantly fall on Sloane, Luther, and Ben, and I feel a slight shiver go down my spine at the sight of ben, I mean it's weird to think he has the face of the boy I used to love when we were like thirteen, but he's not the boy I love, I think anyway, I mean okay I sorta have feelings for this Ben, but I don't want him to think it's because he has the face of my old Ben, its confusing isn't it?

"y/n hi!" Sloane exclaims, waving me over with her hands, and I put on a wide smile as I make my way over to her, setting my present for Grace on the table beside her before she wraps me into a tight hug, which I return with an awkward laugh.

"I heard you're a firefighter now? that's sick." I say, turning to Luther with a smile and he just nods.

"we brought the Umbrella Academy, we're currently renovating it, I'd love for you to come stay some time." He tells me, and I widen my eyes, pretending to be interested as I make small 'oo' noises.

I hate when our family gather together, I mean Luther is married with a child, Diego is married with kids, I don't know what the fuck is going on with Allison, weve hardly spoken since we got to this time line and its not exactly that i dont want to talk to her, i just dont know what id say, Klaus doesn't need love, Five is technically married to a piece of plastic, Ben's just out of prison, Viktor has basically dated every girl in his town and I'm just.. there, I end up feeling extremely left out at the family gatherings when they start talking about issues with their kids or relationship problems because the only relationship problem was the fact Ben died on me.

"How was prison?" I ask ben, my eyes lighting up slightly as I turn to face him, all my attention now on him.

"I can't exactly say I enjoyed it." He tells me, raising a bottle of beer to his lips and taking a sip, and I just know his parole officer is gonna be pissed so I just let out a quiet laugh.

"So where are you staying then? I can't imagine your parole officer would let you live far." I then go onto ask, and he groans slightly, pointing at Luther and Sloane who are now talking to Diego.

"but I'm seriously debating robbing a bank just to get thrown back in." He then adds, looking around and I can't help but laugh a little louder.

"You're staying with them?" I scoff, turning to look at him with raised eyebrows.

"hardly by choice, I just needed a permanent address." He sighs, and I laugh again.

"Fresh out prison, and you're gonna be turned into a painter, electrician, plumber and babysitter. good luck." I tell him and he lets out a small chuckle before taking another drink from his beer.

"How have you been then?" Ben asks, and I shrug slightly.

"I mean, yeah, I've been.. living." I answer with a laugh, and he nods in agreement.

"Why don't we go get you a drink, we can sit at a table at the very back, and you can let it all out." He offers and I rapidly nod.

I sit at the table with Ben, taking a small sip from my beer before clearing my throat.

"I'm a child psychologist now." I tell him, and he nods slightly.

"I mean, it just felt right, yknow? I want to help kids so they don't end up with a childhood that we had. Well, I mean, without the powers, the robotic mom, the alien dad, you get what I mean." I tell him with a small wave of my hand, and he continues to nod, a small smile on his face.

"I get it." He tells me, and we both fall into a comfortable silence before he breaks it right as I take a mouthful of beer.

"don't you miss your powers?"

that question almost makes me spit my beer everywhere, my eyes widening as I stare at him.

"God, no, I don't miss them in this time line Nobody knows who I am, nobody takes a double take or gawks at me waiting to see my powers in use, I can be whatever I want to be in this timeline and I plan on using that to my hearts content." I tell him, and he just looks at me.

"You don't miss them? not even a little bit?" He asks, and I shake my head, which causes him to shrug slightly.

"I miss my powers, I feel.. ordinary without them." He tells me, and I furrow my eyebrows slightly.

"No offence, but I'm glad you don't have your powers. You died because of them in my original timeline, and it's good to see what my ben would've looked like grown up." I tell him, and he gives me a sad smile before we fall quiet yet again.

"and i think it's good to feel ordinary, I spent my whole childhood wanting to be normal to fit in, and now I do." I then add, and he scoffs.

"There's nothing ordinary about us y/n. Apart from the Umbrella Academy and the Sparrow Academy, nobody in the world has gone through even a fraction of what we have, and you've technically went through more than me because the Umbrellas ended the world in 2019, just to then go and do it again back in the 60s, to come back for it to end in 2019 again.." Ben says, and I just scoff, but I can't help but laugh and nod.

"and both times was technically Viktors fault." I argue, and we both smile before Five appears from under a slide somewhere and nods, a bottle of beer in his hand.

"it was Viktors fault both times. Actually, she's not making that up." He tells ben as he makes his way over to our table, dragging a chair along behind him, and ben just raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly pissed off our conversation had been distributed by Five, who still looks like a kid.

"Well, isn't this just a sad table of losers who feel out of place at their nieces birthday party with all the married couples and kids." Five says as he sits his beer down on our table with a large clink.

"I don't feel out of place, I could easily find someone I could marry and have kids with. you couldn't because you look like you're 18." I argue, and five leans back in his seat and crosses his arms slightly, mouthing ben so subtly so that ben can't see.

"Wait, y/n, did you ever even move on after your ben died?" My other Ben asks, and I look at him, my eyes wide as I try to muster an answer.

I try to muster up and answer, but none suitable come to my mind because the truth is I didn't even try to move on, I felt like there was no point, my whole childhood my heart was set on the fact that I'd be marrying Ben, I wanted to at the time despite how young we were and the fact we didn't fully understand the whole concept of marrige and he said he wanted to aswell. when he died I just blamed myself, I thought it was my fault he had died and I convinced myself everyone I love will die because of me, as a sort of reminder that my powers were a curse. obviously, that fact was proven false because my powers are gone. but even now, I'm still cautious to open myself back up to love, but when I'm with this ben, I feel myself slowly opening up again.

"I tried, but nobody stuck around." I lie, and Five shoots me a knowing glare, and Ben just nods, yet another comfortable silence falling over us as I take a large drink from my beer, staring down at my hands before Five starts a conversation with Ben and I can't help but sigh a sigh of relief.

somehow, Luther and Sloane have convinced me to come to theirs to stay the night.

"I think it'll have beneficial effects on releasing your childhood trauma y/n." Luther tells me as I sit in the back of his car, ben at the other side as sloane sits in the front and stares out the window.

"I'm the child psychologist Luther. You just stick to putting out fires." I state, crossing my arms slightly as I stare out the car window, watching the world go by the single frame of glass, trying to hide my smile as I hear Ben laugh at my comment.

"Do you ever sit and look at people and just laugh to yourself because you've saved their asses from the end of the world three times now?" I ask to Luther mainly due to the fact the Sparrow Academy have only had to save the world once, which ended up in all but two of them dying and he just shrugs as he continues to drive.

"Imagine how Viktor feels, knowing he almost killed them twice." Ben says, and that causes me to laugh, slapping a hand over my mouth as I try to stop it.

"That's nasty! the first time wasn't fully his fault. He just discovered his powers and didn't know how to stop them." I tell him, leaning over to gently slap his arm, but I'm still laughing.

"Plus, it's also semi Luther fault for locking him in this weird, safe thing." I add, and Luther groans, muttering something under his breath, leaving me to smile proudly.

"Let's just sit in silence till we get home." Luther suggests, and nobody says a single word to protest and I guess it would be sorta rude if I did seeing as I'm staying at his house tonight.

I sit in my old room, looking around at how empty it is because the Umbrella Academy doesn't exist in this timeline, meaning this room is just a room where I just so happened to share all of my good childhood memories, or atleast the handful I can call good.

"Why would you actually agree to come back here?" Ben asks with a laugh as he stands at the doorframe, staring down at me with questioning eyes.

"I think it's actually partly to do with what Luther said, I think it's good for myself to come see the place and realise that everything that happened back in my time line is just memories now, I dont know I guess I'm trying to give myself some closure." I answer with a shrug as ben walks further into the room, now sitting beside me on the bed.

"What were we like? in your timeline anyway?" ben asks, and I feel my heart stop for a second as I look at him for a brief moment.

"Really young but you -" I cut myself off. Is it wrong to address this ben as my Ben? because it is the same person, but it's not at the same time.

"we understood each other, he- *you* were one of the only people at the Umbrella Academy who showed me love despite our age. if we were doing paired work, we'd always be together, at meals we'd always pass notes, during training we always went easy on each other, during missions we always had a close eye on each other, we'd always spend time in my room. yeah, we were really young, but we still loved each other." I tell him, and he just looks at me, a sad smile on his face.

"we were convinced we were gonna get married, and in all honesty, I would've married you if you stuck around." I then add, looking away as I get an unbearable feeling of sadness.

"I would've married you if you came to the Sparrow Academy timeline earlier." Ben tells me, and I almost choke on my spit as I look at him, my eyes wide.

"What?" I ask, shaking my head slightly.

"I felt myself changing slightly the minute I looked at you when our academies met, but I was too.." He trails off trying to find the words.

"stuck up? full of yourself?" I begin listing and he rolls his eyes but he smiles slightly.

"Yeah, yeah, I was too stuck up to actually allow myself to change for you, and also, I was too scared because I know im nothing like your ben so I didn't want to cause a disappointment as though you lost him again." Ben admits, and I just stare at him.

"Ben, you are my ben." I state, my eyes not leaving his face, not even when his eyes light up slightly, not even when he turns to look at me.

"I didn't want to tell you in case you thought I'm just using you because of what happened with Umbrella Ben, but I promise you that is not the case. You are my ben." I then add, and I see his eyes softening as a small smile appears on the edge of his lips.

"so it's safe to say we like each other then?" He asks after a moment of us just staring at each other.

"I guess so." I jokingly groan, but I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a hug, just savouring the feeling of ben in my arms, my ben as one of his arms wrap around my waist, the other one coming up to reach into my hair, pressing the back of my head closer into him.

"I can't believe you went to prison, you asshole! I was gonna tell you I had feelings for you once we all settled into the new timeline, and then you went to prison."I scoff, and he pulls away from the embrace slightly and looks at me.

"You could've always written a letter or something." He tells me, a smirk playing on his lips.

"I would've been better using a carrier pigeon. No chance was I gonna have a prison pen pal." I scoff, rolling my eyes, but I did write, and then I wrote again, and again, and guess what? I wrote again.

"I did write to you, over and over again, I just never had the courage to send them, because imagine you got one of the letters, wrote back but it didn't send to me?" I ask, a shiver going down my spine at the thought of never knowing if he felt the same way.

"Well, I would've rewrote the same letter every day and sent it to you until you got it." Ben says, a slight hint of promise in his words, and with that, I press a kiss to his lips, and he instantly returns it, his hand on my waist tightening, gently pushing my head closer to his as he depends the kiss and we continue in our kissing embrace got a few moments, before we hear a:

"When I said coming here would help to release your childhood trauma, I didn't mean by doing.. this." Luther says, and I just pull away laughing.

Tequila Sunrise.

Wroetoshaw x Reader smut

**18+ MDNI**

♪ Now Playing: Tequila Sunrise by Emblem 3 ♪

~~~

You were at the club with your best friends. You noticed how crowded it was, the music pounding loudly with the DJ's lights illuminating the room in a pinkish blue tint. Your friends decided on having a night out full of fun and forgetting your everyday worries.

"Y/n, we're gonna go on the dance floor, come join us!" Your friend shrieked as she was holding onto the bar already wasted from the multiple drinks she's had. "I think I'll just sit here for a bit, enjoy my drink. I'll join you later." She rolled her eyes playfully, waving you off stumbling towards the dance floor with the others.

You watched at your friends danced, their bodies moving around in tandem with the crowd. You wanted to dance, but they have got the best tequila sunrises you've ever had in your life and you wanted to finish it. You sipped at it, looking at your phone for a brief moment when you felt someone sit by your side.

You quickly glanced over and saw a guy with blondish hair. You turned away from him, continuing to sip at your drink. You pulled out the cherry and set it on the napkin in front of you.

"Don't like cherries?" The man next to you asked. You turned around, slightly surprised by his sudden words.

"I'm sorry?"

"I noticed you picked out the cherry, well cherries." He pointed at the napkin with a total of four.

"Oh, yeah, I don't really like these ones as much." You said with an awkward laugh. You looked down, trying to avoid eye contact.

"So you don't mind if I take them?" You looked up at him with a cocked eyebrow.

"You want a stranger's cherries?"

"Well, I'm Harry. What's your name?"

"Y/n..." You said with slight hesitation, your previous question still lingering in your mind.

"See, we aren't strangers anymore." He said as he picked them up and plopped them in his mouth.

You were curious about him, he had a very confident demeanor making you feel a bit weary but you decided to keep talking with him.

"You're just okay with eating a stranger's cherries? What if I sucked on them then put them down?"

"Adds flavor, doesn't it." You scrunched your face in slight disgust but found it funny how unphased this man is.

"So, why are you here and not out on the dance floor?" He asked looking towards the crowd.

"Just enjoying my drink, have you tried these? They're super tasty but not too sweet!" You exclaimed with maybe a bit too much enthusiasm and slightly tipsy from drinking so many.

"Yeah, I can see that." He laugh a breathy little chuckle. There was a small moment where he was mesmerized by your eyes getting lost in them. He found you so beautiful even in your drunken state. To be honest, he had been trying to find a reason to come up to you, luckily, the cherries offered a nice conversation starter.

"So, you wanna get outta here?" You asked jokingly seeing his face flush immediately.

"What?"

"I'm just kidding, don't get your knickers in a twist." You laughed as he let out a big breath.

"Well, do you want to go dance now?" He asked still slightly red in the cheeks.

"Sure." You finished the last of your drink as he grabbed your hand leading you to the dance floor.

You looked over and saw your friends throwing you funny faces making you roll your eyes. One of your friends mouthing a 'get in there' causing you to turn your back towards them, not wanting to see their reactions.

You and Harry began dancing to the upbeat music that filled the scene. You weren't the best at dancing and just loved to enjoy yourself, even if you looked weird.

You bodies moved in sync with each other. You moved your hips into his as he held onto your waist for grip. You just danced together without a care in the world.

The music changed to a more rhythmic tune but you didn't want to separate from him and you could feel his grip tighten. You turned to face him, his forehead collecting little drops of sweat making his messy hair stick to it.

"You're a really good dancer" He shouted over the music, you shot him a little smirk, moving the hair from his forehead.

"You're not so bad yourself." You said, both of you breathing heavily. You stared into each others eyes, taking a short break from the intense dancing.

His eyes moved from your eyes to your lips. You noticed that he wanted to kiss you and you grabbed his neck, pulling him towards you planting your lips on his.

As cliché as it sounds, you felt a flutter in your stomach as you moved your lips against his gripping his neck tighter for support.

It felt like you were the only people in the room as you continued kissing. You couldn't pull away, you felt hungry for more of him as he sensed it, his hands slowly trailing to your bottom.

You yelped a bit as he squeezed it, you could feel a slight smile form on his lips.

You continued like this for a couple more minutes until you remembered where you were. You pulled away, putting your hand on your lips.

"That was a bit unexpected." You said with a small chuckle.

"Should we do it again?" His bottom lip sticking out and his eyes widening like a puppy.

"Maybe... but not here." You said pulling on his arm as you made your way out of the club.

You two were both panting heavily as you walked into the empty street in front of the club. The only sounds were the muted thumping of the music and some crickets chirping in the background.

You pulled him towards the nearby alleyway that had a small little nook with walls on either side. You pushed him into the wall, grabbing his neck once again, pulling him towards your lips.

You kissed him even rougher this time, feeling more free with this slight privacy. He held onto your waist putting his hands under your shirt. You gasped slightly feeling his cold hands on your delicate skin.

He slipped his tongue into your mouth exploring as you let him take dominance. You felt his hands move up towards your bra as he then unclasped the clips.

His hands then made their way towards your breast, delicately fondly them as you moaned, he began messaging your nipples not breaking the momentum of the kiss.

You tugged on his hair, desperately wanting more of him. He understood and moved his lips down your jawline, then your neck, taking small nips of it as he made his way down.

He swiftly spun you two around so you were against the wall. He lifted up your shirt, his thumb running over your nipples as you looked at him, biting your lip.

You watched as his head made his way down to your left breast, placing his soft lips on your nipple, sucking ever so lightly. His tongue swirling around while his other hand was still on your right breast caressing it. Your eyes rolled back as you felt your heat pulsating at his soft touch.

His hand made it's way down towards the bottom of your skirt. Luckily, you were wearing a loose fitting skirt and only a thong underneath.

His fingers slowly reached underneath.

"Already wet?" He teased, his voice deeper and raspier than earlier.

His fingers trailing around your heat, going everywhere but inside. His fingertips drawing lines up and down your inner thighs finally going near your clit.

Suddenly he inserted two fingers inside, making you yelp at the sudden feeling.

His lips made their way back to yours to keep you from moaning out loud.

His fingers going in and out of you, causing your hips to buck as his speed increased.

You felt yourself already dripping around his hand as his cold fingers felt nice inside your warm clit.

Your head went back, separating you from his lips as you couldn't handle the intense pressure you were feeling. You let out multiple moans as his speed increased faster and faster.

It's almost like he was playing a game, seeing how loud he can make you scream.

You quickly glanced at him, he had a cheesy grin as he watched your face. Admiring how beautiful you looked, especially the face your were making from his touch. Your cheeks were red and you could feel how sweaty both of you were getting.

"Fuck, I'm gonna cum." You said struggling to get the words out. This motivated him to go even faster. You kept thinking he couldn't go faster but he did and it made you go mental.

You felt a knot in your stomach and your legs begin to shake. He noticed how unstable you were and held onto your waist tighter, trying to hold you up.

"Next time, I'm gonna ram into you harder." He whispered in your ear as you finally felt yourself release all over his fingers and you let out an extremely loud scream.

"Hey! Is everything oka- oh my god, I'm so sorry." You looked as a random stranger stood behind Harry, quickly shielding his eyes and walked away.

You quickly stood up straight, still slightly weak in your legs as he pulled his fingers out.

"Got my fingers drenched." He chuckled as he looked you in the eyes slowly sucking on his fingers making you admire how handsome he looked.

You rolled your eyes as he was completely unphased by the stranger.

"Next time, I'll please you like this." You looked up as you planted another kiss on his lips.

[un-lawliet]

Can I PLEASE request more soft gojo fics pleaseee. Maybe in jujitsu tech where he barges in the class we're teaching just to give us a goodbye kiss because he's going on a mission and he just can't go without a kiss! 🥺

“Teacher, Teacher”

-in which Gojo visits you before he leaves for his mission.

“And so Maki!” You say, staring down at the faces of your students, your arms opening in a hug like motion towards them.

“When using any of your cursed tools, make sure you protect your weak points, it’s essential!”

It was late in the afternoon, and you were currently going over your students last performance in training, your eyes lit up with passionate praise as you evaluated their improvements.

Maki nods, her face resting on her palm, her glasses slipping down her nose slightly.

“Now..Panda.” You turn, looking at him a grin on your face.

Panda straightens, cocking his fluffy head in acknowledgement to your engagement.

You giggle, “Well, you did great! However, maybe try to rely a little less on your size and more on the technical aspect of your attacks.”

“Tuna.” You hear Inumaki sigh, rubbing his shin in which Panda had sat on mid battle.

“If I have the weight shouldn’t I use it?” Panda questions gently, ignoring Inumaki entirely.

You nod, “Of course! Just not to the point where your entire strength hinges on it…If that makes sense..”

“Try throw a punch she means.” Maki interrupts, leaning back in her chair yawning.

“Salmon.”

“Listen, I can’t help it if my battle tactics are different from you’s two” Panda huffs.

“So what? You gonna sit on a curse?”

“Maybe I will.” Panda replies, sticking out his chest, “See if they can handle me!”

Inumaki’s shoulder slumps as he writes something on the book in front of him before holding it up.

“You’ll get destroyed.”

“The hell? No I won’t.”

Maki leans over to read Inumaki’s writing before laughing to herself, “He has a point y’know”

“Stupid point.”

“Bonito flakes.”

“Ooh someone’s mad I beat him.”

“OoOoh some Panda’s mad that he gets annihilated by a grade 4 curse.” Maki cheekily replies, her eyes glimmering with mischief.

“Hey!” You interupt, “Nobodys getting annihilated when I’m the teacher.”

Your students sigh and turn back to you, Inumaki sticking out his tounge to Panda in his movements.

And you giggle to yourself fondly.

You love being a teacher.

After training at Jujutsu Tech it seemed the only natural course for you, you had strength of course, but your real talent stemmed from your ability to create battle plans that exploited sorcerers strengths and disguised their weaknesses.

Yaga had welcomed you as a co-worker just a couple days after your graduation, his grin wide as he explained your duties before frowning at someone behind you.

“And what are you doing here Satoru.”

“What? I’m here to teach.”

“Huh?” You had said turning to look at him.

Even Shoko, who you would tease for her stoicism, raised an eyebrow.

“You’re gonna teach?” She said, “You.”

Gojo placed a hand on his heart, a dramatic showing of offence present in the way he opened his mouth and gasped, “Is it that weird?”

“Yes.” You all deadpanned.

Yaga scratched the back of his head, “Never in all my years of teaching you, have you ever shown an interest in teaching.”

“Well, it’s different now.” Gojo replied simply, grinning at his previous teacher, gloating. “Someone has to look after this one.” He nodded towards you, winking.

“Look after me??” You exclaim, turning to face him fully, your arms crossed, “I’m more than capable of-”

“Is this about Geto?” Shoko had asked plainly, resting her chin on her palm, staring Gojo out.

All of you went silent.

“No, not at all.”

Gojos’ expression had turned cold, as if the very mention of his best friend could freeze any conversation, any fleeting moment. You felt uneasy, your body closing in on itself to fight off the chill.

“Are you sure-”

“Yes.”

It was awkward.

Gojo and Shoko staring at eachother, as if commuting in a silent battle in which you and Yaga could not understand.

Quiet. Until Yaga interupted with a sigh, shaking his head.

“You’ll have to do an interview.”

“HUH?” Gojo replied, his head swinging back to Yaga, breaking his battle with Shoko instantaneously.

“Y/N didn’t need an interview?”

“Y/N is not a reckless.”

“Neither am I!!”

And you remember laughing into your palm, the pain of the past dissipating for a split second, as Gojo pouted, and followed Yaga into his office, as Shoko congratulated you on your new job.

Your new job that you had kept for the last 10 years.

…With Satoru Gojo.

Who had somehow, along the way, stole your heart.

Your phone buzzes from your desk, and you glance at it to see a message for Satoru, asking you if you wanted anything back from his mission later.

You deflate a little at the reminder.

You weren’t going to see Gojo before his mission due to your scheduled classes with the second years.

It had been a while since you had properly spent time with him, you missed seeing his silly face.

You sigh, you’ll reply later.

“So Maki, were you with Nobara yesterday?” You hear Panda start as you tune back into your students conversation.

“Huh? Yea? We were training.”

“Oh oh oh…Private training sessions…” Panda smirks, and you swear Maki’s glare could kill.

“Salmonnn~.”

“Shut up Inumaki.”

“Look Inumaki she’s totally blushing!” Panda laughs, you think it sounds more like a roar.

“That’s it! I swear to God, next training session I will fuc-”

The sliding door behind you opens, and you turn to see your boyfriend waltz into the room, bending to pass through the threshold.

“There she is!” Gojo says, opening his arms in your direction.

“Oh here we go.” Maki mutters.

Gojo was beaming, his mouth carrying the weight of his expression, teeth bared in a wide grin, eyes hidden behind his blindfold.

He raised his arms and walked towards you, ignoring your students exasperation, only focusing on you.

“Hello!” You say, as he pulls you into his chest, giving you a big; dramatic kiss on your head, swaying gently.

“Thought you were leaving?” You question, leaning towards him.

“I was, but someone didn’t reply to my text.” Gojo huffs back, pulling away to watch your face.

“How can I face this world’s dangers if I’m being ignored!?”

“You just sent it Toru.”

“Aha! So you did see it!”

“I was gonna reply later.”

Gojo shakes his head, pouting, “Not good enough.”

You watch amused as he taps his cheek twice, challenging you.

You giggle rising up on your feet to kiss his cheek, before you push him away by the chest.

“Go!” You say, your voice light, “You got your goodbyes, don’t let me hold you back.”

And he just looks at you, a soft smile on his face and you miss the cheeky look he gives you before leaning down and quickly kissing you.

It was small and gentle, and you barely register the disgusted groans of your students, your cheeks warning.

“I’ll be home by 10.” Gojo says, patting your head, “Don’t wait up for me if you’re tired yea?”

And you nod, although you both know that you’ll stay up to see him regardless.

“Be safe!” You call after him, as he walks away, a spring in his step.

“Always am baby!”

And then he’s gone, and you’re left speechless and smiling.

“God, can we leave?” Maki groans, “I feel sick.”

“You just wish that was you and Nobara Maki.” Panda teases, and you hear Inumaki laugh, slapping the desk.

Maki’s face turns bright red and she stands up from her desk, pointing a finger at Panda.

“You and me outside now, we can see if Pandas can survive being buried alive!”

“Oh it’s on!”

You lift an eyebrow and all three of them rise, not bothering to stop them.

“Please try not to kill each other.” You call after them, laughing as Inumaki salutes you before he exits.

…You love being a teacher.

[w2soneshots]

I’ve missed you -W2S

words: 0.9k+

warnings: none.

summary: Harry comes to pick you up from the airport after a week with your family in Norway. Then he brings you to dinner with his friends to meet them for the first time.

notes: this fic was based off of this request!🙂 I hope you enjoy my lovelies💗🫶🏼

I met Harry four months ago. We immediately hit it off and have been together ever since. We're still in the early stages of our relationship, so I'm yet to meet his friends. Last week I left to go and see my family in Norway, which is where I've lived my entire life until last year when I moved to London. Me and Harry have spent most of our time together these past few months so it was really weird not seeing him for a week. Though we face-timed every night and I was constantly texting and sending pictures to him.

Today I'm flying home. My dad dropped me off at the airport and with one final hug we said goodbye. I checked in, went through security and was soon sat on the plane waiting to take off. I made sure to text Harry that I'd be landing in around two hours, since he insisted on picking me up. I listen to music and read for the entire time, so before I knew it we were landing.

I walked out of the huge glass doors and stopped as I looked around. When my eyes caught Harry's my heart rate began to speed up. A smile spread across my face and he quickly made his way towards me. "Hey!" He pulled me into a warm embrace. I wrapped my arms around his torso. "Hi." As we pulled away he smiled at me, then pulled a white bouquet of flowers from behind his back. "Oh my god Harry, they're beautiful!" I beamed. "I've missed you." He placed them in my hands. "I've missed you too, and thank you." I pushed myself onto my tip toes to peck his lips.

Once we got in the uber Harry had booked (since he absolutely hates driving, especially in London) we headed back to his apartment. When we got inside I took a shower to wash the plane smell off of me. Then I got ready because tonight I'm going to dinner with Harry, Ethan, Faith, Simon, Talia, Josh, Freya, JJ and Tobi. Harry has already given me the rundown on their names, what they look like and who's with who. I'm really excited to meet them and take the next big step in mine and Harry's relationship.

After making myself look presentable with, makeup and a nice outfit I left the bathroom. Harry sat on the bed and immediately looked up at me. "How do I look?" I asked jokingly with a twirl. He stood up "you look incredible." He complimented. "Why thank you." I smiled.

My leg shook slightly and I picked at my nails as we pulled up to the restaurant. Harry noticed this so placed his hand on my knee. "Everything's gonna be fine they'll love you." He soothed. I nodded then took a deep breath, intertwining my hand with his.

When we got inside we were quickly taken to our table where almost all of Harry friends sat. I politely smiled and immediately the girls stood up to greet me. "I'm Faith. It's so nice to finally meet you!" She pulled me into a quick hug. I introduced myself to the rest of the girls then looked back over to Harry who was already fondly observing at me. Unbeknownst to the both of us Ethan and Josh were nudging each other and whispering about how 'in love' Harry looked.

Once we sat down (me between Harry and Talia) we ordered some drinks. "So y/n how did you n bog meet?" Tobi asked. Harry had already forwarded me about his "stupid nickname" as he'd put it. "Um, well we bumped into each other and he knocked my bag out of my hand. Then we knocked heads as we both bent down to get it." I laughed lightly as I remembered the awkward interaction. "That sounds like it came straight out of a movie." Freya added.

Harry's hand sat comfortably on the top of my thigh as we chatted. I was soon fully comfortable around everyone and was having a great chat with Faith about her and Ethan's daughter, Olive. When our food arrived, all of the girls (including me) told the boys to "wait!" while we took a picture. The boys all groaned and then burst out laughing at the synchronised annoyance.

While we waited for dessert everyone was having their own little conversations. "So what's toffee pudding in Norwegian?" He asked. I giggled "it's just toffee pudding." "Oh. Well then what's," he took his time to think "thank you?" "Takk skal du ha." I replied. "Takk skal du ha." He repeated. I nodded "ye pretty much." I lifted myself from my seat "I'm just gonna go to the toilet, I'll be two seconds." Harry smiled "ok see you in a minute."

Harry's pov:

I watched as y/n walked away then turned back to the table to see the boys giggling. "What?" I asked, with my brows furrowed. "Harry you're so whipped." Simon stated. My face softened "well I really like her so... I don't mind." "I'm really happy for you bog, she seems really lovely." JJ said sincerely. "Ye it's nice to see you finally with someone." Ethan added. "It's not been that long has it?!" I asked, referring to Ethan's "finally". He chuckled "It's been like four years mate."

Your pov:

I returned to the table a few minutes later and sat back down next to Harry. "Did I miss anything important?" I asked. "Not really, the boys were just reminding me how long it's been since I've been with someone." I raised my brows "oh, why?" "Because they're glad I've finally found someone amazing as you." He whispered into my ear. A pink blush spread across my cheeks. Harry chuckled then placed his hand back onto my thigh.

nobody gets me like you | four

៚ prev // next

៚ SYNOPSIS — after graduating highschool then going through your first break up, you're left to lean on your bestfriend for support before moving to america. returning home brings back memories, realizing your true feelings for each other back then, but is it too late?

៚ NOTES — this took so long.. LIKE SO LONG i've been so busy also new layout for written parts because i feel like this one makes more sense

៚ TAGLIST — @hyuckkluv @jvngw0nlvr @kariluvsyunho @jaellymint @nujeskz @hanniehq

it's been about two hours since the party started.

the last group of people arrived not too long ago, so now it was just time to have fun.

chaeryeong’s house wasn't too small but you guys didn't expect it to fill up this quickly—there were more people than you had hoped

as the night went on, people that came together slowly started to separate. it became so crowded that you couldn't even see the front door

you've never been much of a drinker, but tonight, it was a different story. with the counter top and tables full of bottles and empty cups, the next few hours kind of just bleed into one.

finishing a conversation with eunseok and sungchan's friends out by the pool, you were now wandering around, looking for a familiar face and calling out your friends names but you could barely hear your own voice—

the sound of everyone trying to speak over the music was getting so loud that you couldn't think. with this on top of everything that's been happening, who could blame you?—you were way past overwhelmed

maybe this party wasn't a good idea after all

“hey yn!” you hear from the stairs. following the voice as they continue to call out your name. a hand reaches out and pulls you up the stairs and into a bedroom. unable to see because of the poor lighting,

it was sungchan, holding a red cup. “where have you been?” eunseok and chaeryeong were there too. “we've been looking for you,”

“have you been drinking?” you didn't see which one of them asked, but that didn't matter—you didn't even have to answer—because they could already tell. 

“yn, how many cups have you had?” eunseok asks, grabbing the one you currently have in hand. “idk.. just a few,” 

៚

after a while, everyone gathered in the living room to play some games. truth or dare, charades, spin the bottle..

“my turn—” eunseok says, taking the slightly empty bottle from the center of the circle and spinning it around. eyes glued to it as it slowly started to stop,

following where the bottle was pointing, it felt like everything had gone still for a second. it had stopped at you. i can't.. she's too drunk—you were only sitting there because he didn't want to let you out of his sight after seeing how much you had to drink—plus you didn't want to leave just yet.

eunseok grabs one of your hands and kisses the back of it, not wanting to cross any boundaries. he held your hand in his for a second, rubbing over where he kissed with his thumb trying to sooth any awkward tension from his actions

this is weird.. he's sure he's kissed your hands before, so what's different about this time? why does it feel like everyone is still looking at him? like he can't move,

he stayed like this, lost in his thoughts for while—while everyone else continued to play the game—

“hey! eunseok, snap out of it,” he turns to see wonbin waving his hands in the air. “we're gonna go in the pool, wanna come with?”—the game was over..

“no, i think i'm gonna help yn lay down somewhere,” eunseok says, making wonbin shrug his shoulders as he walks off.

getting you off the floor wasn't easy because you didn't want to get up but you wouldn't stop whining about how your body was hurting, so eunseok didn't give up.

he managed to pick you up bridal style and carried you into the guest room. 

“eunseok?” he hums in response while tucking you into the bed. “why didn't you kiss me?” you ask, making him jerk his head towards you, “what?”

you sit up to look at him eye to eye, “during spin the bottle, why didn't you kiss me?”. not knowing what to say, he just freezes for a second, keeping eye contact with you.

“because you're drunk yn,” he answers, sitting on the edge of the bed. “but would that matter if i had told you that i wanted you to kiss me?” still looking at each other in the eyes, he shakes his head. “just go to sleep okay, we can talk about this when you're sober.” 

៚

it's now past midnight but there are still a lot of people gathered around and dancing on the floor. 

while walking through the crowd of people, eunseok’s eyes meet with so many familiar faces, but none of them were yours—one face in particular though, did stick out more than the others

he walks forward to get a better view of what had caught his eye, 

it was jeongin.

“hey,” eunseok says, getting closer. “do you know whose house you're at right now?” he said, slightly pulling on his shoulder making him turn in his direction

“what—” 

“you can't be here.” trying to get him to leave as soon as he sees who he's with. “what are you talking about? we're not leaving.” the girl said, frowning her eyebrows

“who even are you?” eunseok questions as his voice gets louder

“im jina,” she said with a smirk “jeongin’s girlfriend.” before eunseok could even react, he felt an arm reach around him.

“hey,” shotaro says smiling “lets go over here, yeah?” pulling eunseok off to the side.

he was watching them from afar—shotaro was always able tell when something was making eunseok mad

“can you believe he showed up here with her” eunseok exclaimed, shaking his head “so, he has another girl? that's why you guys threw this party?” shotaro asked

“yeah, as a distraction i guess, but i knew some shit like this would happen.” eunseok couldn't take his eyes off of them, almost like he was trying to make them evaporate into thin air

he doesn't understand why jeongin would have done something like this to you, you guys seemed so happy. always talking about things he did for you, all the places you would go, the things he would buy, but it was all just a cover up, huh?

“i gotta get back to yn” eunseok said, stepping away. he had forgotten the whole reason why he was out there in the first place.

with the party still going on, he was in and out of the guest bedroom attending to your needs. 

stepping out to get you a fresh cold glass of water from the kitchen, he returned to an empty bed—you had wandered off again—

the bed was getting way too hot and uncomfortable for you and you couldn't sit there and wait for eunseok to come back, so you got up.

you were shocked by how many people were still there partying, seeing chaeryeong and sungchan sitting on one side of the couch and anton and sohee on the other side

“where are the rest of the guys?” you ask taking a seat near them “oh i took seunghan home like an hour ago” sungchan replied

“i saw eunseok and taro just a few minutes ago, wonbin is.. somewhere, i don't know” you just nod and make your way to the kitchen hoping to find some food—but you end up finding something else—

your boyfriend, pressed up against the kitchen counter, arm around the girl you saw him with at the mall, but this is the first time you're getting a good look at her

why does she look familiar?

you freeze for a second, trying to gain control of yourself. you still feel a little dizzy from all the walking around since you've woken up. squinting, trying to focus your vision, 

he's still technically your boyfriend—you two never officially broke up—

“yn,” you hear, snapping you out of it. “hey, yn? you okay?” noticing your face start to turn red

“what? are you seriously asking me if i'm okay right now?” 

“after what you're doing to me? after everything i've done for you? you're asking me if i'm okay?” you're voice slighting getting louder as you continue 

everyone around you is starting to stare 

this isn't how you imagined this going down, you didn't think you'd end up yelling at jeongin, let alone yell at him at a party surrounded by all your friends. 

“and i don't even know how you have the audacity to show up here with her,” you click your tongue in annoyance. “showing her off like this is all some kind of joke, do you even know where we're at right now?” 

“hey,” jeongin starts, taking a step closer to you “let’s breathe for a second okay? people are staring,” hands running through your hair, moving the strands away from your face and you just stand there for a second, melting under his touch

there was something in the way he talks to you, it always worked and you always listened. you just couldn't believe that even under these circumstances, he had that kind of control over you. 

“jeongin, stop-” 

“okay, that's enough,” eunseok cuts you off, taking jeongin's hands off of you and pulling you behind him. “come on, you gotta leave.” chaeryeong comes around looking at the couple

the guys helped her get them out and as soon as the door closes shut, you practically fall apart in eunseok's arms and once again, all the feelings rush to through your body—completely waking you up, suddenly feeling sober 

you've never confronted someone like that before, i mean you've never had to. nothing has ever gotten that far before, you always had your friends to back you up, you always had eunseok there,

but this was different, this was something you had to do on your own. 

you sniffle into eunseok's shoulder, trying to hold in your tears. “do you wanna go now?” he asks, not being able to utter a single word, you just nod.

sharing a look with your friends, he lets them know that you two are going to head out; understanding, they try to get the party going again, distracting them from what had just happened

៚

“i don't wanna go home,” you shifted around in your seat, wrapped up in a hoodie that eunseok had laying around in his car. “you can stay the night” he says, taking a quick look at you

he helped you out of the car and onto his couch “wait, you can't go to sleep like that,” taking a deep breath, he takes a look around, trying to figure out a way to get you undressed, considering the fact that you are not in the right state of mind

and then he remembers, you had forgotten some of your skin care at his house and said to just leave it there. “here, let's go to the bathroom” he picks you up and sits you down on the counter top before rummaging through the cabinets

he pulls out one of your old makeup bags, putting your hair back with the fluffy headband that was folded in the front pocket and starts to take off your makeup 

listening as he quietly sings a song that was playing in his head. you close your eyes, savoring the feeling of calm and comfort 

his touch on your face was soft and delicate, like he was scared that you'd get easily hurt. the moment you feel his hands leave your face, you open your eyes

almost jumping when you see how close you two were

you've been this close to him before, sleeping in the same inflatable bed growing up when you'd have sleepovers, riding in a crowded car, you guys have always hugged but this—it felt different 

you could feel the room shift when you make eye contact, “hey,” eunseok says with a faint smile because you were watching him like you've never seen him before. “what are you thinking about, hm?”

“nothing” you respond, not taking your eyes off him. he just chuckles and continues to unready you,

“so, are you almost done packing?” he asks, trying to fill the silence. “yeah, actually, it's been a great way to take my mind off of things.” you say, making him hum in response

something about the position you two are in feels so intimate. his hand brushing over your cheek as he puts night cream on your face, he's so close that you can feel his breath on you. 

unconsciously, your hands sneak their way to his sides, finding stability and just something to fidget with as you start to close your eyes again

he doesn't flinch, as if being like this with you is something he's used to, which he's not. it's usually chaeryeong who is in this position, helping you remove your makeup after a long day. you guys would call it your girl time. 

he doesn't show it but the longer your hands linger there, the more he tenses up

“thank you for helping me eunseok” 

“you say thank you too much-” he starts just for you to quickly cut him off “i'm just very thankful for you” 

he stops for a second, letting his hand hover over your face. making you open your eyes again, "what?" speaking softly, you question his stillness 

there was something about the way he was looking at you that made your heart race and the room started to feel hot. was it just you? or was it all the alcohol in your system? 

he didn't realize how much closer he's gotten to you until now,  “can i kiss you?” he manages to choke out 

the air around you was heavy and full of tension. your face turning red as his eyes move from your eyes to your lips and back

you can see his gaze soften as if he had just laid his eyes on the most beautiful piece of art that he's ever seen

your silence made him nervous—was it too sudden? were you not feeling what he was feeling?

“i don't know why you even have to ask” you finally respond, almost in a whisper

eunseok’s hand reach back up to cup your cheek, right where it had been just a few moments ago. letting out a short and quiet chuckle, moving in even closer than before 

without wasting anymore time, you crash your lips against his

you could feel all the tension settle down, feeling like you can finally relax. it was as if you've both been yearning for this your whole life—

your grip on the sides of his shirt tightens as he finally pulls away. you thought if you were to let go, he might disappear 

eunseok smiles, tucking the strands of hair that had fallen forward behind your ear. “let me get you a fresh set of clothes from the dryer” he says before quickly pecking you on the lips once more in the heat of the moment 

while you changed your clothes, he set up a space for you to sleep on the couch and then made his way up to his room to unready himself 

making sure you were settled, you said your goodnights

but you couldn't sleep—there were too many thoughts running through your head right now

did you really just kiss your bestfriend? when did you start feeling this way about him?

you couldn't help but wonder if it was just a result of everything that's happened the past few days

Child!Yuu in Twisted Wonderland!

Here is a little link if you want to know a little more about this Yuu. https://www.tumblr.com/Little Yuu ideas. This is just how I think it would go when my Child!Yuu, Yuna, enters Twisted Wonderland!

"Yuna?"

"YUNA?!"

A familiar voice snapped Yuna out of her thoughts. "Yeah?" Yuna says, lifting her head to make eye contact with the owner of the voice, Yuna's close friend, Ava, "Ya gonna eat that?" Ava is pointing at the roll on Yuu's lunch tray, "Cause if you're not, I want it."

"Oh....I'm not. Here you go." Yuna says passing the roll to Ava, only for her to turn back to they're other friends at the lunch table, ignoring Yuna once again...This was the routine that happened every day since Yuna and her friends started middle school. They wouldn't talk to Yuu unless they wanted something then once they got it, they would completely ignore Yuna like she's a ghost. No matter how many times Yuu would try to speak she would just get ignored over and over again...I can't really blame them it's not like we're in the same classes anyway, so it's probably just a bit awkward trying to talk to me. Is what Yuu would tell herself as the cycle repeats itself.

Maybe I need a breather...? Yeah, I should go wash my face or something like that. And with that thought, Yuna excuses herself from the lunch table to use the restroom. "I'll be right back guys." As Yuu got up from the table not a single one of her so-called friends responded, they didn't even give Yuna a glance or a nod, just silence. Almost like Yuu didn't even exist in their world.

Yuna took one of the bathroom passes off an empty table and retreated to the restroom. Much to Yuna's relief, no one was in there. It was just her, all alone. She stands in front of a mirror and a sink, looking at her reflection before splashing her face with some icy cold water. Even with the freezing water against her face it still felt uncomfortably hot... Geez, Yuna. Ava just asked for some bread that you knew you weren't going to eat, so why are you so upset? Yuna couldn't quite understand why she's feeling so...yucky. The nasty warm face that she only gets when she's having anxiety, not to mention the empty pit she feels in her stomach. Maybe it was from the fact that she hasn't really eaten anything today or maybe it was from this uncalled-for unease.

Well, whatever it was, Yuna knows she can't just stay in the bathroom forever long or the teachers will come to check on her, and she can't have that, now, can she? I guess it's time to head back. Once Yuna dries off her face with the top of her shirt, she turns to head out of the restroom.... Why is my vision so blurry? Everything Yuna sees starts to contort and blur into each other. Yuna also starts to sway from side to side slightly in a zombie like mannerism.... Ouch my head! What's happening...? Before Yuna had the chance to balance herself, everything goes black........

.

.

.

.

When Yuna eventually opens her eyes all she can see is black...? Huh?! Did I go blind!? No, no, don't be overdramatic, Yuna. I'm sure you'll be fine. While Yuna attempts to calm down at this weird situation, she slowly moves her hands in front of her to get a feel of her surroundings. Her hands press against a wood like wall that feels cold to the touch, causing Yuna to wince back. Seriously, where am I? Before Yuna can manage to think another thought-

BANG

BANG

The sudden banging makes Yuna back up into the corner of this cramped place. What the hell was that?! As Yuna thought, there was another voice that was coming from outside the box Yuna is trapped inside. "I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me... Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton! Try this on for a size! Mya-ha!" As soon as the voice finished speaking, blue flames engulf the area around Yuna!

"AHHHH!!!" Yuna quickly shuts her eyes tight and covers her face with her arms, "What?! You ain't supposed to be awake!" The voice says in surprise. Since Yuna doesn't feel any fire burn her, she slowly pecks her eyes open, still keeping her arms over her face though. Yuna could now see the surrounding area outside the box. There were floating coffins running along the sides of the room with a large, black mirror hovering over the floor in the middle of the room. Although, the thing that immediately caught Yuna's attention was a small grey cat standing on its hind legs in front of her. The cat also had blue flames coming out of its ears- that matched the ones before- and a pitchfork tail! Why does this seem so familiar...? Yuna glances around the bizarre room once more before it finally settles in.

"Am I in Twisted Wonderland..?"

Hope you enjoyed this little fanfic or whatever I just made is called. I don't know if I'm the best at writing, but I at least tried, right? Oh, and I'm going to start working on those requests I asked you guys for now.

Ruin the friendship | Jake Webber

Pairing: bsf!jake Webber x virgin!reader

Warnings: talk of virginity, Jake wants to fuck you, reader is lowkey paranoid, no smut (yet), kissing, uh that's about it I think lmk if I missed anything

Word count: 1.7k

Here you were, another party, drink in hand and loud music blasting in your ears. But that was just a normal Saturday being best friends with Jake Webber. "Truth or drink, bitches!" Tara yelled out, and that was your que to join. You walked over, sitting around the coffee table with Tara, Jake, Johnnie, Carrington and random other people. The questions rolled around, the usual questions drunk people asked, like what's your favorite position, what was your first kiss like, blah blah blah.

"Y/n, what was losing your virginity like?" Someone asked, and there it was. A question you couldn't answer because there was simply no answer. You hadn't lost your virginity, maybe if you drank then people would take it as it was a bad experience. But you knew jake would ask about it. You may have been best friends but he didn't know your sex life, or lack there of. You giggled awkwardly, taking a drink. "Oh, that bad?" Tara asked and once again, you gave a shrug and an awkward giggle. "I need a cigarette, Jake?" You said, holding your hand out expecting him to just hand you a cigarette but instead he stood up. "Let's go," he said.

You mentally prepared yourself for the questions as you followed Jake outside. Once outside, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, taking one before holding it out for you, you took one. "Go ahead, ask your questions," you sighed as he lit his cigarette then lit your cigarette for you. "Who said I had questions?" He chuckled. "Oh come on, you wouldn't come out here with me if you didn't have questions," you giggled. "Fine, I just wanna know why it was so bad? Like was it the guy? Did he cum really fast because I've heard that happen to multiple girls," he said, looking over at you. "No, uh.. it's actually- I've never had sex, not yet at least. But I'm not about to tell a crowd of people that." You giggled, looking down.

"You're joking," He said, chuckling in disbelief. "Nope," you said, popping the 'p' in the word. He laughed, literally laughed. "Jake, cut it out," you said, pouting slightly. "No- I'm sorry- I'm sorry! I just can't believe it! You're just so hot! I don't get why anyone wouldn't want to fuck you," he said. Your cheeks heated up, he must be really drunk to say something like that. "It's not- I mean I've never been in that serious of a relationship and I'm not just gonna fuck someone random." You explained and he laughed again. "Jake, shut up!" You groaned, rolling your eyes. "I'm not laughing at you! I just can't believe it. I mean, have you seen yourself? You're smoking hot, I would gladly fuck you," he said, making you choke on the smoke of your cigarette and cough. "Okay, you're extremely drunk," you said.

"Drunk? Yes. Extremely? No. I'm very aware of what I'm saying. I would fuck you if you'd let me but I will not because I don't want to ruin our friendship. I really care about you and I don't want to ruin the friendship." He said, going back to smoking his cigarette like nothing had happened. You were in shock, too stunned to speak. "Did I ruin the friendship?" He asked after a moment of silence. "What? No! I'm just- I'm surprised, I just never thought- you're you and I'm me.. we would never- I don't know," you shook your head.

"What do you mean by 'you're you and I'm me'? You don't think we could work?" He asked, looking down at you, genuinely curious. "I just- I'm- I'm weird I mean you've said it yourself." You said. "We're both weird." Jake said. "I-I- we're just different. You're a big partier, you're loud and that's not bad but I'm just- I go to parties because you ask me to. I would never go on my own." you admitted. "Why didn't you tell me that? You know I'd be happy to just stay home and hang out with you." Jake frowned. "But I feel like I'd just ruin your night if we did that. We're just different.. almost opposite." You sighed. "Opposites attract, don't they?" He asked. You blushed slightly, smiling a little. "I guess you're right." You said softly. "I'm always right." He chuckled. "Oh shut up." You laughed.

"But- would you ever- like would you ever want to try and make it work?" He asked. "What? Like- like be together?" You asked. Jake nodded, "Will you regret asking me this in the morning when you're hungover?" You asked. "Absolutely not." He said quickly. "Then yeah.. I mean- yeah I would wanna try it." You said, smiling up at him. Jake smiled, putting his arm around your shoulders and pulling you close. "Good, because I would've died if you said no." He chuckled. "Good thing I said yes," you giggled.

The rest of the party went smoothly, talking, drinking, not so casually leaning against Jake whenever you could. People could see something was different between you two but no one called you out on it, except Tara and Johnnie who caught on very quickly which made you giggle. Of course those would be the two to notice. "I should get home," you said as the party cleared out and you rubbed your tired eyes. "Now hear me out, what if you stayed?" Jake asked. Your face heated up, your mind immediately going to him saying he wanted to have sex with you. You weren't ready for that, you were sure he wouldn't do that but the possibility still crept into your mind. "Oh, I- uh-" you didn't know what to say. "You can say no. I just- Tara already left and I don't feel comfortable with you taking an Uber alone." He admitted. "Oh!" You said, immediately feeling bad that you ever thought Jake would want you to do something you weren't ready for. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just protective but you know that." He chuckled softly, feeling awkward.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I just- I thought- I don't know what I thought," you said, shaking your head. "Oh- oh shit were you- did you think I was asking you to stay so we could have sex? We just started dating, I don't move that fast." He chuckled. You nodded, "Yeah, I know. I just- I'm paranoid." You sighed. "Oh I know that." He chuckled. "If you want, I'll sleep on the couch." He said. "We've slept in the same bed before." You giggled. "I know but- but it's like different now. We're dating. I just wasn't sure if you were comfortable with that." He said, you nodded in understanding. "I get it but I'm okay with it. Plus now we can cuddle, I'm little spoon." You said, giggling as you skipped to his room. Jake laughed, shaking his head as he followed you.

You sat on his bed as Jake grabbed you a pair of clothes to sleep in. He tossed you a shirt and pajama pants. "Thank you." You smiled, going to his bathroom to change. You changed, coming back out afterwards. Jake was wearing pajama pants but no shirt. He was looking for a shirt. He wasn't wrong about things being different. You knew he was hot and you always had a little crush on him but now, looking at his back as he was shirtless? He was so fucking attractive, it was crazy. You could see the muscles on his back as he searched through the drawer, you were ogling and you didn't care. Jake muttered something you couldn't hear before he put on a shirt. You pouted slightly but quickly moved on. You sat your clothes on the dresser. "You're back," Jake said as he turned around. "Yes, I am." You smiled.

You got into bed, crawling under the covers. You got comfortable as Jake got into bed as well, laying next to you. There was an awkward silence that fell over the two of you. You didn't know why, things were rarely awkward between the two of you. "So.." he said softly. "I really want to kiss you." You admitted, staring forward and refusing to look at him as your cheeks reddened. Jake looked over at you, "I want that too." He said softly. "I've only ever kissed two people," you admitted. "That's okay," he said, reaching over and grabbing your hand.

You had seen the sweet side of Jake a few times, but never this close. Never when the sweetness and softness was pointed towards you in such an intimate way. "And I've never made out with someone." You added. "That's okay, you know, I'm not going to rush you into anything you don't want to do." He said. Finally, you looked over at him. "I know, I just- I don't want you to think I know more than I actually do. I don't want you to think I'm bad, ya know?" You sighed. "You're not bad, no one's bad, just inexperienced. It's okay." He said, letting go of your hand to gently place it on your cheek. "Do you still want to kiss?" He asked and you nodded quickly. "So badly," you said. "Okay," he smiled. He leaned in slowly, his lips soft against yours. The cool metal of his piercings hit your lips, it was different but you enjoyed it. He was soft and sweet and tender and it made your stomach erupt in butterflies and sent shivers down your spine, you wondered if Jake felt the same way.

He pulled away slowly, stroking your cheek with his thumb. "You're definitely not bad," he chuckled softly. "Yeah?" You asked, gently and blushing heavily. "Oh yeah, I can't wait to kiss you again." He said, smiling. "I mean... I'm not complaining if you do." You said. "Good," he said before leaning in again and kissing you just as gently as before. You scooted closer to him, letting him deepen the kiss ever so slightly. He placed both hands on your cheeks now, holding you close as you both kissed, his lips moving slightly against yours and you followed his lead. He pulled away slowly, leaning his forehead against yours, leaving you breathless and with your heart racing. "I really will never get tired of kissing you." He said, making you smile. "Same here." You agreed. "But, I say we stop here and go to sleep, yeah?" He said and you nodded in return. Both of you pulled away from each other, laying down in the bed and getting into a comfortable position, you laid your head on his chest as he placed an arm around you. You both soon fell asleep.

Interesting, thank you, have a great day.

The truth is, I was mostly asking that because I'd realized one of my personal asks hadn't been answered. I shared some family stuff and didn't give it much thought. I can be a little attention desperate and very paranoid, so I was worried when you didn't answer back, but then I realized it was probably because you didn't know whether I was okay with you answering and sharing my thoughts with your other fans to see. So originally I was gonna have an ask saying something like "BTW, same person here, you can answer that ask that I made if there was any moral hesitation on your part", but no, I decided to make a very encrypted ask sounding like I wasn't of your fanbase so basically you could answer my question without you knowing it was me and maybe end up answering the ask I made if that did end up being an issue. And, well, helping out anyone else who might have the same thoughts as me about their asks.

But I understand now you just had no reason to answer, and I get that. Most of my asks to you are anonymous simply because there are some things that I don't want to be associated with "me". More so, again, because of paranoia and awkwardness. Cause I have sent you a LOT of asks. Most anonymous. And I don’t want to come across as "too much". You would probably have no idea which ones are me because obviously we're anons, and because I've sent some asks where I poured my heart out, asked off-topic stuff, responded to a recent joke, given recommendations, asked random stuff, made analysis', asked completely different questions right next to each other, and talked about a fic I'm writing for you frantically all in many different personality fonts.

I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say that Tumblr's anonymous option and their ask box was their greatest ideas. Besides what bad can come when people are anonymous in asks, of course, but it does help people who just simply want to feel free to be themselves! (Again, not in a weird way).

Anyway, not saying I lied in my last ask. I didn't, my intentions were just slightly skewed. And I'm gonna continue to be anonymous at times so I can be free of my own personal second hand embarrassment. Even if you don't agree with me and say "there's no reason to feel that way, I don't care", that's nice of you, but it's just the way I want to go about things. And there's probably other people in your asks who somewhat feel like I do. Most of your asks are anonymous people, anyway, lol. All for different reasons.

hey, its alright! dont worry if you want to stay on anon because i definitely know the feeling (ive done it too with other creators lolol), i dont ever plan on disabling it for that reason (unless something really bad happens, but as it is that seems unlikely. internet is a panopticon and all that). even if i dont answer things i see them, and i do appreciate everything :] im sorry if it made you nervous when i didnt respond, i think i remember that one and i just genuinely forgot 😭😭 i got like five asks in a wave iirc i never intend to make anyone feel anxious

[iwannascreameurekaa]

I don't understand how any of the seven get so much hate. They all have amazing characteristics, designs, personalities, backgrounds, etc. 

so I'm gonna explain why they're all amazing

Yay

Percy

Percy is the main character to the first five books so he has the most information shown about him than the seven since we read from his point of view in pjo and the Olympians. His whole thing of loyalty is incredible and the things he risked to save people he barely knew made him an amazing protagonist. 

Annabeth

Hello??? I know she's smart but that's not her only characteristic. She's blinded by her own powers and doesn't know how to handle things thrown at her when she can only rely on her emotions which is amazing cause ME TOO GIRLY she's a badass who also went through so much during HOO 

Leo

Built a whole ass ship, was manipulated and controlled into KILLING HIS OWN MOTHER OMGS MY HEART, was always singled out and felt like he didn't belong, SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR HIS FRIENDS, and so much more!!!

Jason

This is where ima start defending for my life bc people who say Jason is boring don't understand his story. He was taken from his home, raised by wolves until he was around 2/3, raised the rest of his life until his was 16 in a camp where he was trained to be an actual child soldier, kidnapped and had his memory erased, watched his best friend DIE, and died for his other best friend !!! WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT????? OFC HES GOING TO BE BORING HE DIDNT KNOW WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

Piper

I will hold you by the shoulders and stare directly into your soul until you give me a good reason to hate Piper bc she did nothing wrong. She just wanted her father's love and she never got it so what happened? She was sent or a wilderness camp where she was also manipulated into believing a random boy was her bf which entirely messed her up and it took her MONTHS ALMOST A YEAR to realize that she didn't have the feelings she was lead to believe. THEN SHE SAW HER EX HER BSF DIE IN FRONT OF HER????? I WOULD BE RUINED AFTER THAT OMGS 

Hazel

Excuse me, didn't she DIE in the 1940s to prevent the world from ending, came back, only to have to save the world AGAIN??? Not to mention that fact that she was bullied and harassed all her life before and after her death. Before her death she was always treated like the devil bc of her curse, even by her own mother. Her mom even neglected Hazel which is something NO ONE SEEMS TO TALK ABOUT. Then she has an unknown brother save her from the underworld and have to completely rebuild her life from scratch. At new rome she still wasn't treated right and was left out and made out to be a weird girl just like her old life. Tbh if that was me I wouldn't be shaking crying every time I saw someone. Also she learned how to control the mist which is pretty fricking cool okay I love her 

Frank

Let's just point out the obvious first. The reason Frank is not one of the most loved characters is because he is/was chubby. I'll say it, that is the reason. If he was skinny/fit more people would love him. That's probably why Rick did the transformation thingy thing where Frank got all buff. Which sucks because Frank is incredible and having one of the only character that's not skinny or muscly or as conventionally attractive have to change to those things just to be slightly more popular is STUPID!!!! I'm not hating on Rick I'm honestly hating on the fans who didn't love Frank because of the fact that he was chubby, whether they knew that was the reason they didn't like him as much as the other seven or not. His story is incredible. His mom going to war and her dying made my heart break while reading. his entire life force being attached to a piece of wood, so easy to be burned to nothingness, is SO GOOD. His awkwardness is so refreshing to see when characters are often portrayed as nonchalant and cool when in reality we're all losers 😭 

Really, there's no real reasons to hate any of the seven. You can have favorites, I have my favorites of course, but putting the other seven down doesn't do anything. You're just an asshole.

Jealous Girl| Carl Grimes

Carl Grimes x fem!reader

𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: you and Enid are both interested in Carl, so when you are forced to go on a run with her, you two have a little argument about him.

𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: none, maybe a bit of arguing? a bif o a sassy reader if that even counts.

you and Carl are best friends, since you two met. you are very close, have the same interests and everyone thinks it's cute that you two get along so good, except one person. Enid. you never really had a problem with her, but weren't her friend either. however, you knew that she has a crush on Carl, which made you a bit annoyed because you also started developing feelings for him, and you knew she's very jealous of your relationship with Carl.

one day, Michonne walked up to you as you were reading a book on a bench outside and asked you if you can go on a run. of course, you agreed, but then Michonne told you who you are coming with. Enid. you sighed and decided to go anyway, because you want to be useful for the community. so you got ready and went to the gates, waiting patiently for Enid to show up. when she showed up, you two exchanged awkward smiles and small "hello's", and decided to get going.

you two went to an old store, fortunately without any walkers nearby. you were busy looking for things that might be useful, but you noticed Enid is looking at you with a slightly weird, maybe even dirty look the whole time. finally, you decided to ask her.

"uhm.. Enid, do you need anything? you've been looking at me the whole time like i'm some kind of alien." you calmly say, looking at her. she looks back at you and her expression gets even more weird.

"i'm just wondering, what are you and Carl? friends? or more? do you have a crush on him?" she asks with a bit of a cheeky tone. you stare at her, a bit dumbfound. yes, you do have a crush on Carl, but you were too nervous to tell him. you sigh and look through a shelf with medicine.

"we're friends, but i do like him, yeah. and i know you like him too." you say softly, trying to be the calm and collected one, even if you already didn't like where this conversation is going.

"well.. i do like him. but we both know i have more chances with him. so maybe you should just back off." Enid says, getting even more cheeky and slightly aggressive towards you. your eyes widened, you always thought she was the calm type of girl. to be honest, it was quite funny because you spend a lot more time with Carl than her.

"uhm.. what makes you think that, Enid? i'm not gonna stop hanging out with my best friend." you say, now your tone sounding a bit more annoyed. you want to go to another shelf, but Enid stands infront of you, blocking your way. you look at her with your eyebrows slightly raised. what was she expecting?

"i'm better than you, and i'm gonna win him over. if you want, we can fight. i know he wants me, not you anyway." Enid says, which catches you off guard. she wants to fight? over a boy? damn. you keep your eyebrows raised, seeing the "intimidating" look on her face. you smirk a little.

"i'm not gonna fight over a boy, Enid. you can have him, if you're so desperate. he can make his own decisions. besides, my face isn't worth fighting." you say with a confident tone and then walk past her, your hair swaying as you do. she stares at you with a slightly shocked face.

the two of you don't exchange any more words on the way back home. you try not to worry, but maybe she does have more chances. what if she wins Carl over?

hello! this is my first fanfic ever and i'm kinda nervous about it. the ending is not that good, i'm sorry. but i was thinking to maybe make another part of this fanfic (?) english is not my first launguage, so i apologise for any mistakes. requests are open <3

Ghost Of You (M.B.)-Chapter 4

What You Need

CONTAINS NSFW CONTENT (Oral sex, f receiving, p in v sex)

2005-Chicago, Illinois

The past few days had been different. It seemed like Mikey was avoiding Angie at all costs. He barely talked to her at home anymore, and he'd only talk to her if necessary at work.

"Do you want eggs?" Angie asked him as he came down the stairs.

"No. I'm gonna head in early." He walked out the door.

"What the fuck?" 

"What?" Nat asked.

"He's been avoiding me for like a week." Angie sighed. "I think he's mad at me or something."

"He's not mad at you."

"How do you know?"

"He told me."

"He told you specifically that he's not mad at me?"

"Yes. I asked why things were awkward with you guys and then I asked if he was mad."

"And?"

"And he said no."

"Okay, but why is he being weird?"

"I don't know. He said something about the bathroom and you in a towel."

"Oh my god." She groaned.

"What?"

"I came out of the shower in a towel the other day. He's so repulsed by the idea of me basically naked that he's stopped talking to me."

"Hey." She wrapped her arm around Angie. "I doubt that's the case. And if it is, he's a dumbass."

"I'm gonna kill myself."

"Later. You gotta go to work."

"Ugh. This is gonna suck."

🤍

Just as Angie expected, Mikey spent the whole day away from her. If he didn't need to be in the same room as her, he wasn't. After close, he was in his office doing whatever paperwork. 

"Richie?" Angie called.

"What's up, sweetheart?" He grabbed his stuff from his locker and shoved it into his bag.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Go for it."

"Do you think of me as a kid?"

"Not anymore."

"Okay..."

"Is that it?"

"Do you find me sexually attractive?"

He paused and stuttered to find the right words. "Is that a trick question?"

"What do you mean?"

"Mikey's not gonna come and kill me if I say yes?"

"No..."

"Then yes."

"Even though we've known each other forever and I'm younger than you?"

"Now you make me sound like a creep."

"Richie."

"I mean, I guess it's a little strange. But who gives a fuck?"

"What do you mean?"

"We're both adults. And you're more mature than me. So who gives a fuck?"

"Yeah. Who gives a fuck?"

"So...are we gonna..."

"What? No! I wasn't talking about us. I was talking about me and Mikey."

"Oh."

"He saw me in a towel and he's been avoiding me since. I think he's grossed out."

"Why would he be grossed out about a hot chick in a towel?"

"Because he thinks of me like a sister I guess."

"Did you try talking to him?"

"He just runs away."

"Well, he's not gonna run away now." He pointed to the closed office door.

"Okay." She sighed. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck. And if that don't work out, you have my number." He winked.

She rolled her eyes and waited until he left to knock.

"Come in."

She took a deep breath before opening the door. "Hey."

"Hey." He hesitated, turning away from the paperwork. "It's late. You can go if you want."

"I actually wanted to talk to you."

"I got a lot of work to do, Ange."

"And five minutes won't make a difference. I need to talk to you."

He sighed and nodded. "What's up?"

Even though the building was empty, she shut the door and leaned against his desk. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"Who says I am?"

"Me. You find any excuse to get away from me. What'd I do?"

"Nothing. I'm just busy."

"Michael."

He huffed and ran his hands through his dark waves. "It's complicated, okay?" He stood up, trying to get past her.

"So tell me." She blocked the door.

"You wouldn't get it, kid."

"I told you not to call me that!"

He stepped back and crossed his arms. "Ange-"

"I'm not a kid, Michael! I'm so sick of you seeing me like one and treating me like one! I'm a fucking adult just like you!"

"Why do you care so much about what I think?"

"Because I fucking love you!"

His brows furrowed slightly. "What?"

"I love you. And don't tell me about my age, or about Natalie, or anything else. I don't give a shit."

"But you should."

"I don't. I don't care about any of that. I want you. I love you."

"Stop."

"No."

"Angie, stop it."

"Tell me you don't love me. Tell me that you don't feel a fucking thing for me, and I'll stop."

He grabbed her hands and squeezed them. "Angie..." He hesitated. "I love you too." He said in a whisper.

"Then what's the problem?"

"Girls like you shouldn't be with guys like me."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that I'm a mess. I'm a fucking mess that you don't need in your life."

"Mikey-"

"I can't give you what you want. What you need. What you deserve. I can't be that guy."

"I don't want anything that you can't give me." She whispered. "You're all I want. All I need."

At this point, both of them had tears in their eyes. His hand came up to cup her cheek. He softly stroked her face with his thumb.

"This is could end badly, Ange."

"Probably." She chuckled through her tears. "But I don't care."

He leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers. "I don't wanna ruin you."

"I don't mind if you do."

That was all he needed to lean in and press his lips to hers. He gently held her waist to pull her as close as possible. She melted into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands traveled down to her hips and squeezed them tightly. She moaned into his mouth which sent shivers down his spine. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and tugged at the hem of his shirt. He took it off and tossed it on the floor. She trailed her hands up his bare chest as he began to kiss her neck.

"Shit." She sighed. She lifted her shirt off and slowly unclipped her bra.

"Fuck." He groaned. "Can I touch you here?" She nodded. His hands came up to cup her breasts. "You're so beautiful. You're all I've been able to think about this past week."

She unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down her legs. Once she stepped out of them, Mikey pushed the paperwork off of his desk and picked Angie up to set her on the desk. He kissed down her neck and chest and over her stomach. He knelt down between her legs and slipped his fingers under the waistband of her panties.

"Can I take these off of you, baby?" He whispered while softly kissing her thighs, his brown eyes giving her a pleading look.

"Yeah." She whimpered as his touch.

He rubbed her clit over the cotton fabric before lifting her hips up and pulling them down. He spread her legs and scooted her closer to the edge.

"You're so pretty." He kissed her wet core softly.

"Mikey." She gasped as she held onto the desk

"You taste so good, baby." He dipped his head back in and licked up her core.

"Fuck." Her hands tangled themselves in his hair.

His lips wrapped around her clit and sucked on it softly while he looked up at her. He put his hands on her thighs and spread them farther apart. She tugged on his hair, keeping him right where she wanted him. 

"S'that feel good, baby?"

"Mhm." She whimpered.

"Pretty girl." He whispered into her cunt, licking her softly. "I could stay here all night."

"Mikey." She pulled his head up. "I need you."

"What do you need, baby?"

"I need you inside me."

"Yeah?" He stood up, revealing the tent in his pants. "You want me to fuck you?"

She nodded and leaned forward to unzip his pants. He pushed them down along with his boxers and placed his hand on the back of her head. 

"You have no idea what you do to me, do you?" He whispered against her lips.

"Show me."

He looked into her eyes as he slowly slid inside her. Angie's lips parted as she gasped.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Keep going."

He started moving in and out of her, gripping her hips to ground himself. "You feel so fucking good." He sped up his movements slightly. "Let me hear you." His fingers trailed down to rub her clit.

"Shit." Her grip on his biceps were so tight that her nails began to dig into his skin.

"Fuck." He winced at the pain. It only turned him on more. 

"Mikey." She gasped against his mouth. 

Angie wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him closer. He groaned at the contact and picked up his pace. Between him thrusting inside her and the noises she was making, he wasn't sure how long he'd last.

"I know, baby. I know." He whispered in her ear. "You gonna cum for me?"

She nodded, throwing her head back. He sucked and bit on her neck as he felt her tightening around his cock.

"I'm so close." She whispered.

"I know. I can feel you. I'm close too. Let me feel you cum, baby."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and held onto him as she came.

"Fuck!" She cried out. "Oh my god!"

"Shit!" He wasn't far behind. He pulled out once he felt himself getting closer and shot his release onto her stomach.

"Holy shit." Angie whispered, trying to catch her breath.

Mikey leaned his head on her shoulder and kissed it softly. "Was that okay?"

"Okay?" She placed her hand on the back of his neck and played with his hair. "That was fucking amazing." She lifted his head up and kissed the tip of his nose.

"You gonna get all soft of me now?" He grinned.

"If you let me."

"Baby, you can do whatever you want to me."

"You mean that? Because I meant what I said. I wanna be with you."

"Yeah, and I meant what I said. This could go really wrong."

"Or it could go really right."

"I love you. And if you're sure this is what you want-"

She leaned forward and kissed his lips. "I'm sure."

He sighed and gave her a smirk. "Okay then."

🍁 jamie drysdale!

AAAAAAA MY BABY. i literally have a whole playlist dedicated to this man with JUST taylor songs, so i had to make a very tough decision

he's so gorgeous coded, you LITERALLY CANNOT LOOK AT HIM AND TELL ME HE ISN'T GORGEOUS CODED.

bye this song was literally written for his beautiful man.

you were completed okay and normal a few minutes ago, talking and laughing along with your friends. that all got turned upside down once jamie and trevor had arrived.

suddenly, you were acting all shy and reserved ─ which was nothing like you. everyone was too engulfed in their other conversations to even realize the change except jamie.

god, you hated the way his presence made you all shy and giddy, something you hadn't felt since middle school ─ you felt like a little girl with her first crush and you hated it.

you were so frustrated with your own reaction, you tried to regain your composure. taking a deep breath, you forced a smile and joined in the conversation with your friends. however, every so often, your gaze would drift in jamie's direction unintentionally.

he noticed your occasional glances, and a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. jamie was well aware of the effect he had on you, and it seemed like he was secretly enjoying it. you couldn't help if he genuinely found your newfound shyness amusing or just weird.

as the evening continued, you couldn't shake the feeling of being under jamie's magnetic pull. despite your best efforts, you remained captivated by his presence, and the butterflies in your stomach refused to settle down.

after a while, you needed to refill your drink. you looked around the living room to try and find any sight of jamie but were slightly relieved that he was sitting away from the kitchen, next to trevor and some of their friends. you took that as your chance to get up and go get another drink quickly.

as you were taking out another white claw from your friend's refrigerator, you turned and suddenly there he was. you jumped slightly and dropped the can on the floor.

you both knelt down to grab the can. your hands brushed against each other as you exchanged awkward smiles. as you started to retract your hand, jamie grabbed it gently and handed the drink to you. his touch sent a jolt of warmth through you, and you couldn't help but blush slightly. y/n, you dumb bitch. get it together, you thought to yourself as you both gazed at one another.

"uh, thanks."

"no problem, y/n." his name rolled off his tongue almost too perfectly, making your heart jump. "so, uh how's your night going?"

pretty good before you came, i wanted to say. "good," you mumbled out politely. you straightened your back consciously. "how's yours?"

"good-"

before he could reply, trevor yelled out from the living room. "guys, come back here. we're gonna watch a movie."

you almost let out sigh out of relief as you gave him another polite smile. if you were around him for even a few more seconds, you were sure your heart was going to collasp.

of course, though, jamie did not understand that at all. as you took a seat on the couch, so did jamie ─ right next to you. your thighs were pressed against each other because apparently, everyone else wanted to join you two on the small couch.

jamie moved his arm from his side, and around your shoulder to make more room for all your friends. you felt yourself tense up and suddenly, the room became smaller and your cheeks felt warmer. you swore your heart was going to beat out of your chest and you were sure that jamie could also hear it.

"sorry," he whispered in your ear. your neck filled with goosebumps as you felt his warm breath against your cheek, "had to make more room for trev."

you looked back at him and again, you felt as if your heart was going to collapse. his ocean blue eyes stared warmly back into yours as the movie began to play.

"yeah, um... no problem."

he smiled back, "okay, good. sorry if i made you uncomfortable-"

"no!" you said, almost a little too loud. jamie let out a small laugh at your slight outburst as embarrassment filled your system. "no, you're totally good."

"good," he responded.

as the movie progressed, you guys got closer and closer until you were practically on his lap. and as the movie progressed, the normal it became. you could finally focus on the movie and your heart was beating normally now.

after the movie was done, and you guys all began to get ready to go home, jamie stopped you right before you got into your car.

"hey, um..." he looked kind of shy. that entire night, this was the first time he seemed flustered.

"yeah?"

"well, trevor said that um.. actually, that doesn't matter." he chuckled nervously, his face slightly flushed. "well, i thought you were sending me signals and i was wondering if i could, get your... um number?"

your heart started beating at an abnormal pace for the millionth time that night, you felt nauseous in a good way. wow, he was asking for your number?

it took you a couple seconds to comprehend it and jamie was started get a little worried. he was about to say something before you replied, "yes! is that even a question?"

you both then just exchanged awkward glances before a smile engulfed both your faces, before laughing. "okay, then. good."

MY 100 FOLLOWER CELLY!

[dazedantics]

Guys dreams are the craziest place,

Like, a few nights ago I had a dream that I was in my old house but it was different with a lot of boarded up doors and even extra ones that couldn't be opened at first but the next couple of walks through the house left doors slightly opened or had ways to be opened. I walk through one door in particular and it led me to a shower, like no bathroom or path to get into the shower, just open the door and you're in the shower. And in the shower I see Malleus, with his back turned to me, who magicked away his horns which I assumed was to make washing his hair easier. Um, in "real life" he needs his horns, his looks so weird without them. I don't for sure know what made him do that but honestly I wasn't put off by it, like it wasn't as disturbing to see hornless Malleus in dream as it is awake, it looked natural. Didn't see him much after that, the interaction was basically; he looks at me for a second before tuning away and scrubbin', "Hey, Malleus, what's up," hums in response not looking back, "Okay, cool, imma go explore the rest of the house now ... you missed a spot by the way." As if that was a normal occurrence or something??? Anyway, that was that,

This latest dream in particular was about Fellow and Gidel (no, I haven't seen their event yet cause I want to go through it fresh when it comes to EN, all I know is the characters look cool and cunning, there's something about puppets and control, and I want to get all the cards from the event)

Anyways, here's how it went.

It started off with me going shopping at Walmart with I don't even know who, Ace and Deuce might've been there, but it was a large group of people. And from some reason the day was going backwards, like it started at night here, the next part it was late afternoon, and the final part was early evening.

So, we bought our things, standard hangout equipment like snacks and stuff and things for dodgeball cause we were gonna play later. Then we go to my old backyard cause it's huge and would be sufficient grounds to play on and talk about who knows what for a bit until someone decides, "hey, let's go to a professional dodgeball area, like a know this place nearby."

So we go over there and it's like a giant indoor basketball gym with a chill little "restaurant" nearby (in quotes because it wasn't that fancy type, but served food and had nice seating. Fancy but not extreme and blended in with the court).

And that's when I first see Fellow and Gidel, they just came in and were all like "Oh, sweet ... people are here. Hey, you're gonna play dodgeball? Mind if we joined in?"

The group I was with didn't want to let them but I said yeah so everyone else allowed it, I think vaguely in the back of my mind I felt I should know them so that's why I said yes cause in real life I'd feel awkward/reluctant about letting random people join an outing too. Bear in mind that in my dreams it never registers that people are from a game or a show or anything, they feel real as if our universes blended or something and it's just natural.

Anyways, we split teams and play around for a bit, don't know which side won, then we decide to take a break to eat at the restaurant that's connected to the place. Didn't have to pay, no one was working there but somehow our food just came out to us.

We're eating some really good home-made, stone over pizza with thick flakey crust (don't ask why I remember that, I just do, it was amazing) and I'm sitting there across from Fellow with Gidel curling up next to me, he was probably tryna pick my pockets for all I know, but I think he's adorable so I allow it anyways. Me and Fellow are talking about who knows what for a while before the group's all like "Alright, time for some more dodgeball."

So we go over to the court, in position, ready to play again, when all of a sudden the freakin' police come in, they walk around interrogating for a bit and eventually say they're looking for Fellow and Gidel.

Everyone is nervous and just trying to get through the interaction and as the police get closer to me and the boys, who have just been quite and trying to hide behind me the whole time, and they start bolting for the door.

I'm like "Hey!" And start chasing after them cause I guess I'm crazy, so they grab my hand and start dragging me along with them with the police hot on our tail. It's bright, morning with clear skies out now and right nearby is this giant indoor play area or like clown maze without clowns or something, which I'm assuming they own or they at least are familiar enough with the place to not get lost in there, and they let me go to get in faster but once I'm in there they have vanished and the doors have been locked behind me meaning I won't have to worry about the police for at least a while. But the way to get inside the place is to solve riddles and puzzles and finding clues and I have never been here before so I have no idea what to do.

I'm started to get scared cause now I am alone and essentially trapped which is horrifying for me, plus it's oddly quiet for this to be a play place and the police just outside. But I try not to panic and instead start searching around for clues.

There's the large, really cool looking door with neat carvings on the frame right in front of me I'm trying to get into, a wall of padded squares of all colors to my right and a giant gaping mouth of a red tunnel slide to my left which has a sign above it that I can't read.

There's a bit of random papers and clothes scattered along the floor and wall so I try to see if I can make sense of those. I go look at this stack of pinned paper in that's on the side of a tall dresser right at the edge of slide and as I flip of the pages, I hear these noises coming from the slide. Internally I start freaking out cause I don't know what's in there and since it's a tubular slide the noise echoes and sounds distorted making it seem way scarier to me. I stand there, hoping that "if I stand in this corner and don't move, maybe it won't see."

I stand still, the noises getting louder as the thing gets closer to the end of the slide, I'm about to have a heart attack just waiting to see what it is, the thing clunks against the sides of the slide, I hold my breath, and finally the thing come flying out of the tube. It's ...

"Grim!?"

"Henchman!"

My buddy ol' pal is back with me again, I am safe, and now much calmer. I scoop him up, put him on my shoulder, and am ready to get back to searching for a way in. Don't know how he got here, didn't ask, but I know that as long as he's right here, I'm okay, nothing's as scary anymore, and I will not let him leave my sight and get separated in this place again.

We keep looking and then ...

And then I wake up.

Kinda sad, I wanted to reach the end of that story.

Why are Fellow and Gidel being searched for, how did they just disappear like that, was all that a trick to just trap me in here or did they forget I don't know the way like they do, will the police ever catch up, what would the police do if they only find me, will I ever find the duo I followed in here or will I just get stuck in an endless loop of trying to find ways to get past each and every locked door in this place never to escape becoming entertainment for the mysterious pair who can probably watch me from the cameras if they so desire, or will they use the cameras and stereos around the place to help me find the right way out?

We'll never know.

Anyways, moral of the story is don't follow people into strange places, especially if they're being chased by cops, and yeah.

Does anyone else have crazy dreams like this? I'm curious to see what goes on in other people's minds. And if there's a way to revisit dreams, like going on to the next episode, I'd love to know cause I think the endings would also be insane.

Anyways,

Don't sleep, keep dreaming, peace out gang

New season of Ninjago! I'm currently six episodes in.

(also I'm writing this the morning after I watched these episodes so my thoughts might be out of order)

Awkward teenage Riyu design is cute, but in that awkward, mid-stage pokemon evolution way.

"Intelligent George" is just every adult Ninjago fan on YouTube throwing around theories over the last year.

Sorry Lloyd, prophetic dreams of doom run in the family.

Hey, wait a sec. You know who else has prophetic dreams? Why are you not going to Zane with this?

Please give Arin a "you don't need powers to be powerful" arc.

All this talk of shattering all the good inside someone is reminding me of a certain other spell used to remove all the goodness from Garmadon back in season 8, but I doubt they're actually meant to be connected.

Slightly disappointed that the pink Serpentine isn't Skales' wife.

Euphrasia couldn't take on the master of Smoke, the elemental master she probably has the best type match up against? I don't wanna sound like one of those fans, but jeez, Morro would have destroyed this guy.

The Kai-Nya siblings dynamic continues to be on point.

Wyldfyre continues to be the best character.

I was honestly expecting Sora's fear dream to be more of the same insecurities we saw from her last season, but she actually has moved past that and now she's afraid of having to go back to Imperium. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

Oof, Nya's dream is giving me so many feels. This is foreshadowing, isn't it?

"Jay would never forget me. And even if he somehow did, he'd never be this calm and collected about a stranger coming up and hugging him."

Oh. Oh, we're not seeing Wyldfyre 's fear dream? Oh, she doesn't want to talk about it? *Rubbing hands together* I think we're gonna get some backstory and lore here!

*Bonzle to Cole and Geo* "You are my da-ads. You're my dad's. Boogie Woogie Woogie."

Suddenly Basketball

Ah, the dragon masters. The fact that dragons can learn spinjitzu honestly makes sense to me, all the way back in the pilot, I thought the way the dragons spun around in order to travel to the other realms was obviously related to Spinjitzu.

I like that Rontu is basically just a typical gym coach in dragon form.

Egalt, on the other hand... Well, I do really like his design. But man, he's just every bad "teaching" method from Wu rolled into an even grumpier old man. Talking down to his students, constantly being negative instead of giving positive reinforcement, no clear instructions, giving no answers or even hints to Arin's question, nothing! Maybe I care about this more than other people because I've worked as a teacher on and off for years, but even when I first started watching the show, back when I was still in college, I was already noticing these things about Wu and they already bothered me.

Anyway, calling it now, the students from "last time" Egalt keeps vague-ing were Wu and Garmadon, and Wu learned all his bad "teaching" methods from this guy.

Bonzle being a living spell is weird, but honestly not that out of the question for a crazy fantasy world like Ninjago.

Ok, so I'm going to break the first rule of enjoying Ninjago and think about the timeline. Judging by what Wu said, I'm guessing Bonzle ran into him some time early in season 2? And when did all this with the Forbidden Five happen?

Anyway, very excited to see where this is going, if only I didn't have to work today.

We are now on part 3 of the differences in the original Vesperia context (and tone!) and the localization's! Due to Tumblr's image limit, these had to be cut into parts.

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 4.

(Other) GTF Favorites.

Yuri just mentions they're not nervous at all here. The loc changed this to "let's have some decency here". Again, super random change that I'm not sure why they put there. They just really have a weird thing for changing really random context.

I NEED to put these ones side by side because this one is completely ridiculous. They had Alexei not only say "urgh!" instead of "hmph", but he sounds like he's getting stabbed. I genuinely do question what on earth they were doing with this game sometimes, but I can also tell they didn't quality check like, anything... if the grammar and awkward sounding English in some places is anything to go by (a lot of NPC/sidequest dialogue in the loc ended up really wonky, and they didn't even go back to fix any of it when the DE came out). Like. What happened here LMAO.

no but really this is just here because i find "lend me your face" very funny because that's what this literally says. it technically does mean "we need to talk/can we talk/etc", i just need some amusement before getting into loc/dub yuri again.

Yuri's tone shifts more to catching his breath and calming down here. Again, as usual, it's a lot less aggressive than the dub makes it out to be. He was yelling this time, but he wasn't yelling the whole way through it like dub Yuri almost always does with Flynn before late arc 2.

I'm not gonna put pictures of all the times there's more vocal nuance (pauses, deep breaths, etc), but just know they're everywhere in the original audio. Really nice touch imo.

Flynn never says anything about "like a good knight". The way the loc uses it with him, and at this point? feels very derogatory, especially having him say it about himself.

This is really just "geez...", but the loc (you guessed it: more aggressively) put "damn it, Flynn...".

Here, Yuri was saying more of just "here we go again with Flynn putting all the responsibility onto himself". Once again, the dub has him angrily yell at Flynn and changes the context to make him angrier.

Flynn didn't tell Yuri what to do. He just said he was going to go after Estelle because it was his responsibility, and that his brigade will focus on Ioder. Again, the loc just makes shit up to put Flynn down (yes, you can probably realize I'm getting annoyed with this fact by now).

Yuri continues his thought by saying "anyway, the ones who will recuse Estelle is us, Brave Vesperia", i.e. he's basically saying "there you go again trying to take responsibility, but we're the ones who will be doing that". Dub Yuri continues his thought, angrily, saying Brave Vesperia's going to rescue Estelle (i.e. he's saying don't tell me what to do, we're going to do this", not "anyway, we'll be the ones to rescue Estelle" in response to Flynn trying to bear that burden.

At this point Yuri has dropped his anger in the original and is more back to his usual self with Flynn. Flynn's response is slightly vocally changed, seeming more shocked-surprised in the dub, but in the original it's more grateful-surprised. Kinda hard for me to explain without a video, so I'll have one in my clips.

Sodia doesn't say she'll return when she can. She's asking that Flynn gets back when he can (which makes more sense in context since she didn't want him staying here and not being with Ioder in the first place). The loc does this sometimes where they get the speaker and person spoken to/about mixed up, like with Aifred and Patty and Don earlier.

Flynn's thanks toward Yuri in the original is much more genuine/heartfelt. Yuri's response is infinitely more relieved, relaxed and grateful, spoken softly (the dub again really flattened his tone).

Here's the clip for this scene.

I really enjoy the original context of this scene because Rita tells Estelle to wake up, Alexei's response is "very well" and he wakes her up with her power, so he's using a taunting power move. In the loc he says "no matter". I guess he means waking her up is no matter? But that feels a bit easy to misinterpret imo? I just feel like "very well" makes more sense given the context.

I'm... NOT sure what happened here in the loc. He says "take us there" and just walks off. Take them... where? Sodia is asking him to return to Ioder, and Flynn is saying he wants to go after Alexei while ordering his brigade to go protect Ioder. Where would they take them? All he's supposed to be asking here is for Sodia to please let him go (after Alexei).

Not gonna make a whole video for this one clip, but Yuri's tone is a lot gentler here and a lot more understanding. As... as usual with Flynn and the dub and the original.

In the loc he says "that's enough", but here he's basically expressing how he's getting sick of various individuals insisting the world's crisis is all because of one person (Estelle).

The loc changed this to "what the hell?!". Personally I find Yuri yelling at him and calling him an idiot to make more sense in the context/fit more in line with his personality.

The loc changed this to saying Yuri can really be a downer sometimes. Once again, a case where I think the original line makes more sense. I'm not saying that just to knife the loc here - I genuinely just think the loc had some really whacky word choices and unnecessary changes, aside from the weird mistakes in the context (again, see the "take us there" and "please" scene).

Also have a video clip of this scene (and the Schwann stuff before it), because while the tone was pretty strongly different for parts of the Schwann scenes, this one was inarguably the worst contender. Yuri in the dub is shouting rudely at Leblanc and his knights. Here, Yuri is just solemnly asking for them to please not get in their way (he uses "tanomu", which is essentially "please"/asking for a favor, etc. It's significantly more considerate than the unnecessary shouting from the dub (and lack of polite wording) despite that they're all in an immense amount of emotional pain right now, and it shows deeply in Yuri's voice here).

As usual, Yuri treats all the knights worse in the loc/dub than he actually really does in the original.

A small change, but figured I'd drop it off here nonetheless. Just Yuri teasing Rita lol.

For the first one, didn't want to make a whole clip for it, but his voice is very soft and sad.

Second one, he says he prays that day never comes, versus the loc's "earnestly".

Yuri doesn't say anything about "showing off" (he specifically calls Flynn reckless) and as usual he's just very casual, relaxed and lighthearted about it. I also have a video clip of this one.

(Flynn doesn't even show off! He's just saving Zaphias! How is that showing off?!)

Yuri doesn't say "look out", which... makes more sense, because the monster isn't attacking yet. He's just realizing the danger and getting Karol out.

Also, Yuri in the original actually says in desperation that he's begging Karol to run. He doesn't say "I told you to get out of here", he's literally begging Karol to run away (again, uses "tanomu" here). Has much more emotional weight in the original and Yuri is very clearly panicked (the dub once again just makes him sound angry and less filled with desperation of getting Karol out of there).

This is another one I have a video clip for.

He's not saying anything about "taking the fun out of it", but rather that the situation is discouraging (the current state of outside), but that they're thriving (thanks to Ioder). Another change I'm... not sure the reason for?

Sometimes they have very understandable changes, but some of them are like this where I just can't pinpoint the reason for it; or if it was a translation mistake, how they made that specific translation mistake.

Slight change, but sounds less sarcastic to me in the original. Given the loc/dub's history with Yuri and Flynn though, I'm not surprised I feel that way...

Buddy I try to be as reasonable as I can be with this loc/dub, but sometimes I gotta draw a line. The way they tried to make Yuri sound cool and edgy by having him straight up threaten Ioder for literally no reason (Ioder isn't even saying anything bad, he's just asking what's going to happen to Estelle and mentioning that Yuri is trying to shoulder the burden of killing her alone) is not something I am getting over lol.

Ioder says maybe Yuri's the one the sword was waiting for, and Yuri mostly playfully just says he'll punch him. He did not threaten him and by all things holy did not threaten to use a weapon against him in a dark, eerie tone like he hated this guy. Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't like the implication of "maybe you should be emperor", but he's not threatening Ioder and Ioder has literally never done anything to deserve being threatened by Yuri. He's very fond of Yuri and extremely considerate to him given that he doesn't have to answer jack shit of Yuri's questions but tells him everything, always, anyway.

Also have a video clip for this one.

The difference here is Flynn is using quotations, implying he understands that "save" may also mean kill, which was completely left out of the loc.

Karol wonders if Khroma wants them to stop Alexei. For some reason the loc changed Yuri's response to "it would add up", but in the original he doesn't bother thinking about it nor considering that it's a possibility (which I imagine is the game's way of hinting to you that she's not referring to Alexei).

The Sword Stair arc has a bunch of small changes littered throughout it, but none of them are too significant so I'm going to skip going through most of this arc as far as those changes go. Generally speaking the sidequests (in the whole game in general, with a few having some minor changes as usual) and Zaude are about the same, so I'll also be mostly skipping those. Video clips are more for tonal differences (or just my personal favorite scenes in JP), so for these particular posts I'll be skipping the majority of those.

Worth mentioning that overall the plot is left alone in translation, and a lot of things are actually pretty much spot on. The majority of the alterations and changes, as you may have noticed at this point, relate primarily to Yuri and Flynn respectively (often treating Flynn poorly or making him sound like a hardheaded law enforcer, which is not the case at all but that is another post entirely for another time).

Once again due to the image limit we'll be moving on to another post!
