Teacher!Ellie hcs :3



cw: none i don’t think…
an: guess whose finally back after a while. tbh i probably will disappear again if i can’t come up with anything but oh well!! also this is kinda long soooo

⋆˚꩜。 teaches sciences but mainly physics, sometimes she will substitute for art if it’s open.
⋆˚꩜。 always dresses like a little boy and jeans and some random shirt she had which leads her to get stopped in the halls by other teachers asking for her pass.
which leads to a whole explanation of how she actually works there and ends up pulling her id out.
⋆˚꩜。 likes to keep her door open during lunch and after school incase some kids come stop by either to chat or just hang.
sometimes she’ll get extra excited when you’ll come in after schools over to sit and finish some work.
⋆˚꩜。 likes to keep music playing in the back when you two are working so that the silence doesn’t make her antsy.
“ellie what the fuck is this?”
you ask putting your pencil down looking at her as some random ass song plays like Ayesha erotica starts.
“what it has catchy lyrics”
⋆˚꩜。 cannot stand the lunches at the school so she always packs her own, most of the time they consist of a rushed sandwich and a juice box.
after coming into her room and seeing her atrocious lunch you developed a small routine of packing extra vegetables for her so she can get some nutritional value out of the meal.
“the juice box says probiotics in it which means it’s healthy!”
“ellie, sweetie, no.”
sliding a plastic baggie of carrots to her.
⋆˚꩜。 her students KNOW she has a fat crush on you. once while she was teaching you came in to ask about a schedule and her cheeks got all pink at the way you kept your voice low and soft so you won’t disturb the kids.
after leaving one kid started ooing causing the rest too follow and she grumbled putting her fav in her hands “i’m failing you all”
⋆˚꩜。 felt honored once when a kid came to her asking them to draw on their converse like how she did because they thought ellie was cool. would not shut up about that for days.
⋆˚꩜。 keeps her carabiner on all the time with all her keys on it making it very obvious when she’s about to come into your room.
⋆˚꩜。 on pajama day she brought in her massive bear form ikea and it never came back home, earning itself a place on her rug.
⋆˚꩜。 once she came bursting into your room complaining about the kids but immediately shut up when she saw you giving her a soft smile, hair tied back messily, with reading glasses propped on your forehead and started to get all flustered.
⋆˚꩜。 has a problem with accidentally swearing in classes. she would be demonstrating an experiment for the class but when it fails mumbles an “you’re fucking joking” and quickly looking back at the class who all started being over dramatic about it.
“my innocence is gone ms. williams!”
“oh shut it you never had it to begin with daniel”
⋆˚꩜。 when you offered for her to come back to yours one night for “grading” let’s just say it ended with you two driving to work together, some students definitely asked her about it later causing her to push them out her class.
⋆˚꩜。 when you two became an established relationship she would only refer to you as “my girlfriend” in classes because she knew her students wouldn’t get off her ass if they knew it was you.
⋆˚꩜。 once a student came to her panicked about a massive spider in the room and she didn’t want to get it so had to have you pause your work and come in to get it for her.
“you owe me williams.”
you mumbled quietly so no one but her could hear placing a lingering hand on her hip while walking out with the spider in a beaker. stood there frozen for a solid minute already excited to get home to you that night.
⋆˚꩜。 her white board is dedicated to drawings and doodles her students make her putting them up with magnets and letting them draw during breaks.
⋆˚꩜。 on her desk she has a jar full of small plastic dinosaurs she’ll give out if the students were good and was once gifted a bag full of tiny babies on her birthday. definitely came to you sobbing about it slurring out some jumbled mess about how she loved her students.
⋆˚꩜。 two days later she was sat on the couch in you classroom rocking while mumbling “i love my job i love my job i love my job” after a parent yelled at her for talking about the moon landing.

THE MIYA SIBLINGS…
Oh your absolutely insufferable, stupid, annoying brothers (..that you guess.. you kinda love..) drive you freakin’ bonkers! Life as a first-year with two obnoxious third-year brothers isn’t easy, and yet, somehow, every day is its own brand of chaos. So, what does an average day in the Miya household look like? Well… here’s a glimpse.
pairings: Miya twins x youngersister!reader (NOT SHIP)
type: Headcannons/blurbs + SMAU (texts, twt)
genre: crack, fluff, comfort
key: y/n = your name n/n = nickname
warnings: cursing, the twins embarrassing reader, reader has no friends lmao, shit/piss mentions, the twins being pervs (yk that tho)
—————————————————————————





Everyone at Inarizaki knew the Miya twins. And then they found out about the Miya siblings.
When you first came to Inarizaki, walking around with their man (aka Atsumu and Osamu), the Miya fangirls immediately took notice. At first, they thought you were a girlfriend—until they learned the shocking truth: the Miya twins have a younger sister?!
That’s when the befriending attempts began. They’d wait outside your classroom, invite you to lunch, and you honestly thought they ?? just really wanted?? To be friends you?? It felt really nice!
But the moment they opened their mouths, it was all, “Eeeeeek! Your brothers are soooo hot!!!”
And you were just like, ‘oh’ ‘🧍♀️😑’
Yeah those ‘friendships’ did not last very long…
—-And obviously you were popular with amongst the boys. The Miya curse I fear. Samu did nawt approve of your new popularity lol. Tsumu was jealous that people were talking about YOU and not HIM lmao— tho tsumu LOVES bragging about you/showing you off. He’s like ‘oh yeah my baby sister can do this!—‘ ‘welll MYYY sister can do that better than YOURRR sister’
Anywho the twins love having you at the same school!!! Atsumu always stops by your class during breaks either to talk to you or just piss you off lmao. Osamu ends up being your unofficial walking schedule lol (not that surprising tbh) ‘Ain’t ya supposed to be in the library?’ ‘Didn’t ya say ya had a quiz today?’ ‘Why are ya here? Don’t ya got PE?’ He flicks your forehead (affectionate) and is like ‘get to class’ 🙄+😐
(You got him his bowl)



When it comes to typical overprotective older sibling behavior, Osamu takes the crown. He’ll literally insert himself into any conversation you have with a guy—every. single. time. It’s actually the worst. He will embarrass you and terrify the guy. One time a guy came over, all confident trying to talk to you. Before you could even react, Osamu literally stepped in front of you, staring the guy down like he was an inconvenience to his entire existence.
Then with the most uninterested, deadpan expression ever, he just like ‘no’
He won’t let anything start 😒 you def ignore him after he pulls shit like that. He dgaf tho lmao
Atsumu, on the other hand, is like your wingman, sorta.. He hypes up your crushes, encourages the flirting… but the second things actually start progressing (ex:lovey-dovey texts, potential boyfriend territory, lingering touches), he’s suddenly all up in your business—and the poor guy’s too. He’ll casually throw an arm around both you and the guy, all smiles, and go, ‘So, how’s it goin’?😁’
you’re glaring daggers at him your eyes screaming ‘Tsumu, istg I’m gonna kill you’ and the guy’s practically slithering away while you whisper-scream at Atsumu while he acts all innocent. Oooooor he’ll just shriek and yank you away saying how ‘yer too little for boys’, while glaring at said guy.
But if you ever wanna hang out with anyone he’ll try to set smth up for ya!! (As long as he approves of who)
Osamu is nawt good at trying to show his love 🧍♀️ his love languages are quality time, acts of service, and physical touch (sorta, he’s not rlly good at it but wants to be close yk?). Like he won’t initiate (most the time) but if you hug him he’ll hug you back. He just like asks if you want him to take you somewhere or smth. He shows his care for ya n tsumu by making food all the time, it’s what he’s good at and loves, and loves that you both love it. He also always wants to be there for ya. Samu is great emotional support, he doesn’t say a lot but says EXACTLY what you need to hear. Will just sit with you and let you get what you need off your chest. He’ll put his arm around you and rub up and down.
Atsumu is very unique at showing his love 🧍♀️ his love languages are physical touch, words of affirmation, and quality time. When you were little Atsumu and Osamu would both hold your hand when you would walk around, and when you got older and wouldn’t hold his hand anymore he was so sad 😭🙏 he’s a hugger, but he’s still your older brother, so he’ll like mess your hair up then hug you lmao. Always asks if you wanna practice with him, he always feels cool teaching you something new :)
Atsumu is also your number one hype man like if you ever feel like you can’t do smth tsumu has a whole list of just exactly why/how you can. He’s not even trying to make you feel better it’s what he genuinely believes :)

Oh and they are both way too invested in any drama you’re involved in/even just aware of. The second you run into the room and announce, “I’ve got tea,”they’re already locked in, heads propped on their hands, eyes wide like you’re about to deliver the most important news of their lives.
‘Spill NOW’
—————————————————————————
tags: @sharkissm @someprettyname @fishii28 @shrii-kk
well this is all I have for Miya siblings rn 😔😔 tumblr will only let me upload 30 images, I had more 🧍♀️🙏
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I do!! I love Miya siblings so much ughhhh I wish they were my older brothers sooo bad it HURTs
lemme know what you think!!!! I LOVE FEEDBACK!!

𝗚𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁!
Word Count: idk
Content: fluff. 'She' is kind of controlling, bakugo loves her anyway.
Relationship dynamics of Katsuki Bakugo being the husband to his strict and authoritarian wife who works for the heroes public safety commission.
As students...
Bakugo met her through odd circumstances. She was sent to UA for a year exchange program, being hosted by class 2A, acting as a representative from the Hero Public Safety Commission’s private training school. She was polished, disciplined, and radiated authority that made even Aizawa acknowledge her presence. Bakugo, of course, wasn’t impressed—at first.
Bakugo will never forget their first interaction. She made a point of introducing herself to the class with a sharp, confident tone. When Bakugo muttered under his breath about her “show-off attitude,” she called him out, saying, “Bakugo Katsuki, I expected better from you.” His jaw hit the floor.
Bakugo who couldn't even understand her. She had a weird, quiet fascination with the blond hot head. Something about his raw passion and unrelenting drive intrigued her. She’d casually comment things like, “You’re not bad, Bakugo. I’ll make you my partner for the next drill.” He didn’t realize “partner” meant more than just sparring.
Bakugo knew from that start she wasn't like the others. During training sessions, they were always paired together because she insisted. Their sparring matches were loud, fiery, and drew crowds. Bakugo started seeing her as a real rival, but she kept smirking and saying, “You’re still a little rough around the edges.”
Bakugo didn't even know how to respond to her asking him out. It wasn’t romantic—at all. After a particularly intense training match, she wiped her sweat and said, “You’re worth my time. Let’s go get lunch.” Bakugo, flustered but too proud to refuse, barked, “Fine, but don’t order anything weird!”
Bakugo who eventually admitted that he didn't dislike her. Despite her cold demeanor, she occasionally showed glimpses of warmth—like stitching up his torn training gloves or offering advice after a tough day. Bakugo couldn’t help but admire her determination and started seeing her in a different light.
As They Grew Older....
Bakugo who never expected experiencing LDR. She'd be all the way in America to deepen her studies and he'd be in Japan interning with jeanist. They kept in touch—she insisted on emails. But her emails were formal and to the point, but Bakugo responded with sarcastic but surprisingly detailed replies. Eventually, he convinced her to download a normal texting app. It became a habit for him to rant about his hero work, knowing she’d send back advice and assurance. On lucky days, she'd post him letters with autographs from famous foreign heroes.
Bakugo who had to learn how to balance career and love. When they started dating officially, it was a strange dynamic. She treated their relationship like a “strategic partnership” but always found time to call him after missions. Bakugo pretended to hate her constant questions about his injuries but secretly liked the attention.
Bakugo who would never admit being strangely excited when she sees her in the flesh. He has been so used to seeing her only through video calls that he freezes up when both of them have physical interactions even the slightest. She, however, would kiss him every few hours during their dates. She wouldn't allow kisses longer than a two minutes. She thinks that controlling intimate activities would lessen possibility of pregnancy.
Bakugo who lets her plan out all the dates and scheduled calls and chat times. He admits it's 'weird as fuck' to see that she has a whole calendar dedicated to it, but he follows it anyway. Bakugo knew just how tight her schedule was since she's a rising officer of the Heroes Public Safety Commission and he understands your struggles. At this point, even he's surprised she even continues to date him. (Not like he'll agree to breaking up)
Bakugo when the moment he loses his virginity immediately asks her to buy a house with him. He didn't even hesitate. Bakugo gathers her parents and his parents for dinner to ask for permission before spending all his savings buying a nice house near her workplace.
Bakugo who knew exactly her style. He made sure she had an humongous wardrobe in their shared house. On rare occasions, he would personally pick out blazers, blouses and pencil skirts he think she'd like. He would be very specific in buying shoes too, he knew she preferred stilettos just like how she preferred always having a sleek bun with side bangs. She wasn't just a employee of one of the most important organizations, she was also a fashion icon because of Bakugo.
Bakugo knew that he was favored by the Public Safety Commission. That's probably because his partner is one of the next in line to the commission’s higher positions.
Bakugo who fought with her for the first time. Their first real fight happened when she criticized his recklessness on a high-stakes mission. She'd go as far as leaving her workplace—which she never does—once she gets a call from his sidekick just to visit him in the hospital. Bakugo snapped, “You’re not my damn boss!” to which she coolly replied with crossed arms, “No, but I’m the one who has to report your failures to the Commission.”
Bakugo who proposed impulsively during one of her rare free days. After cooking a messy but heartfelt dinner in their house, he shoved a ring box at her and grumbled, “You’re busy all the damn time, so let’s make this official before you forget about me.” She smiled softly and chuckled, “I was hoping I'd be the one to propose, but you got me first.”
As a Married Couple...
Bakugo was her husband, he knows she’s dedicated to her work. While he grumbles about her long hours, he always leaves meals on the table for her, muttering, “Eat, or I'll never cook for you again.”
Bakugo who's secretly its not really a secret proud of her. Bakugo doesn’t openly say it, but he brags about her to his friends. “Yeah, my wife works for the damn Commission. She’s a fucking big deal, so don’t piss her off.” His chest puffs with pride whenever someone praises her.
Bakugo who yearns for her Attention. On particularly quiet nights, Bakugo finds himself staring at her side of the bed, wishing she’d come home earlier. When she finally arrives, he plays it cool but holds her a little tighter than usual. If she's in the mood, they'll go straight to poundtown.
Bakugo hates arguments about Work-Life balance. Bakugo occasionally snaps when he's frustrated, “You’re always busy! What about us?” Although she wishes she could give him more love, she responds calmly, “What about the people depending on us?” It’s a constant struggle, but they always reconcile because neither wants to give up on the other.
Bakugo who makes sure to make a romantic surprises every now and then. Despite his rough demeanor, Bakugo occasionally shows his soft side by surprising her with things like handwritten notes or flowers. His excuse? “Don’t make it a big deal. I just saw them and thought of you, alright?”
Later in Their Marriage...
Bakugo who saved a family from a disaster and couldn't stop thinking about starting one of his own. So when he had the chance, he casually says, “Y’know… we’d make a kickass kid.” She raises an eyebrow and replies, “Are you suggesting something?” Bakugo fidgets before blurting, “I mean, maybe. I don’t want to be old when they start kicking ass.”
It only took her a moment to think about it, and when she finally agrees, she says, “If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right. No recklessness, no shortcuts.” Bakugo smirks and says, “What’d you expect? Our kid’s gonna be the best, just like me.” She's pregnant the very next day.
Despite their demanding careers, they’ve found a rhythm. Bakugo handles the home front during her busy days, making sure everything is in order so she can focus on her work. She would take care of the rest when he's out saving the world.
Bakugo and his wife who parents with style. Bakugo is the cool but overprotective dad, while she’s the strict disciplinarian. Their kids would grow up with both fiery determination and a sense of structure, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Bakugo still treats her like the first woman who ever truly challenged him, even years into their marriage. He never lets her forget how much he admires her strength and determination, even if he shows it in his typical Bakugo way: “You’re still the same badass I fell for, and don’t you forget it.”

offside | seungcheol
Author: bratzkoo Pairing: Hockey team player/captain! Seungcheol x Physical Therapist! reader Genre: fluff, chaos Rating: PG-13 Word count: 6.5k Warnings/note: i wrote this to start chaos. have fun reading!
summary: seungcheol's hockey teammates just wants a break from their captain's strictness with hockey practice and decides to force him to join a dating app.
taglist (hit me up if you wanna be added): @escoupseu , @yanabaaaaaaarysheva , @spnyin , @sousydive , @gyuguys
requests are open, but you can just say hi! | masterlist
"Desperate Times Call For Desperate Teamates"
"We need to do something," Seungkwan declared dramatically, sliding down the practice room wall. "I can't feel my legs, and I swear I saw Dino's soul leave his body during that last drill."
The maknae in question was indeed face-down on the floor, only managing a weak thumbs up to confirm his continued existence.
"He's gotten worse," Jeonghan observed from his position on the bench, watching their leader through the glass as Seungcheol reviewed practice footage. Again. "Yesterday, I caught him making a spreadsheet comparing different practice intensities. He color-coded it."
"That's... normal?" Vernon tried optimistically.
"At 3 AM, Vernonie. 3 AM."
A collective groan echoed through the room.
"Did you know," Mingyu started, still catching his breath, "he named his new hockey stick? I heard him calling it 'Dedication' while cleaning it."
"Better than last week's 'Discipline'," Wonwoo muttered, not looking up from his phone where he was apparently documenting their captain's concerning behaviors.
Jun raised his hand like a student in class. "Question: is it normal that he's memorizing the ice rink's maintenance schedule? He knows when they resurface the ice better than the zamboni driver."
"The driver's married, by the way," DK added helpfully. "Even the penalty box has more romance than our captain."
Hoshi suddenly sat up straight, eyes wide with his trademark tiger enthusiasm. "THAT'S IT!"
"Indoor voice, please," Woozi grumbled, rubbing his temples. "Some of us are still recovering from this morning's 'voluntary' extra practice."
"No, no, listen!" Hoshi was now pacing, his energy seemingly restored. "What does our Coups-hyung need?"
"A life?" Minghao suggested.
"Sleep?" from Joshua.
"Therapy?" Wonwoo pushed up his glasses.
"A GIRLFRIEND!" Hoshi announced triumphantly.
The practice room fell silent. Twelve pairs of eyes shifted to look at their captain through the glass, who was now rewinding the same play for what must have been the twentieth time.
"That..." Jeonghan started slowly, a mischievous smile spreading across his face, "might be the first useful thing you've said all year, Hoshi-yah."
"Hey!"
"No, no, he's onto something," Joshua leaned forward, already pulling out his phone. "Remember when Seungcheol-hyung had that crush on the girl from the coffee shop last year?"
"Oh yeah," Dino suddenly revived from his floor position. "He actually left practice on time for like two weeks."
"Until he scared her away by talking about hockey stats," Seungkwan reminded them.
"That's why," Jeonghan stood up, commanding attention like the second eldest should, "we need a plan. A mission."
"A mission impossible," Vernon quipped.
"Exactly!" Jeonghan pointed at him. "We need to get our captain a girlfriend before he turns this team into an Olympic training camp."
Woozi raised an eyebrow. "And how exactly do you propose we do that?"
"Simple," Jeonghan's smile grew wider, more dangerous. "We form committees."
"Oh no," Joshua muttered, knowing that look.
"Oh YES," Seungkwan perked up, loving that look.
And thus, Operation "Mission Impossible: Get Seungcheol a Girlfriend Because We're Afraid He's Gonna Be More Strict With Practice Like Let Him Get a Life Pls Pls Pls" was born.
"We need a shorter name," Wonwoo noted, already typing it in his phone.
"M.I.G.S.A.G.B.W.A.H.G.B.M.S.W.P.L.H.G.A.L.P.P.P?" Vernon tried.
"Perfect," Jeonghan clapped his hands. "Now, for the committees. Hoshi, you're in charge of daily tiger horoscope readings-"
"That's not a thing," Woozi interjected.
"It is now. Joshua, you're documenting everything. Mingyu and Minghao, you're on style watch - make sure he doesn't wear hockey jerseys on dates."
"Bold of you to assume he owns other clothes," Mingyu muttered.
"Seungkwan, you're our drama department-"
"I was born ready!"
"Wonwoo, you're researching dating apps. Vernon and Jun, you're our social media experts. Dino... just try to survive practice for now."
"What about me?" DK raised his hand.
"You and Woozi are our emergency extraction team. If any date goes wrong, you pull him out with a fake emergency."
"Can the emergency be my dying leg muscles?" Dino asked from the floor.
"Speaking of," Jun suddenly pointed at the glass. "Incoming!"
They scattered like startled cats just as Seungcheol opened the door, looking suspiciously at his suddenly innocent-looking teammates.
"Break's over. Let's run that play again."
The collective internal screaming was audible.
"We start tonight," Jeonghan whispered as they lined up. "For our legs."
"For our legs," twelve voices whispered back.
-
6:00 PM - Team Lounge Preparation
"Places everyone!" Jeonghan's voice commanded through the earpieces he'd borrowed (stolen) from the broadcasting team. "Hoshi, status on the PowerPoint?"
"Forty-seven slides of pure tiger-themed conviction!"
"It was supposed to be five slides," Woozi muttered, sitting at the piano he'd somehow smuggled in. "Also, why am I composing 'The Ballad of Single Seungcheol' again?"
"Emotional impact," Seungkwan explained, practicing his dramatic slides across the floor. "We need background music for my monologue about dying alone."
"No one's dying alone," Joshua sighed, reviewing his crisis management notebook:
- Plan A: Direct confrontation
- Plan B: Emotional manipulation
- Plan C: Vernon's interpretive dance
- Plan Z: Release the embarrassing photos
Meanwhile, Mingyu and Minghao were strategically placing furniture.
"The chair needs to be exactly 45 degrees under the spotlight," Minghao insisted.
"We don't have a spotlight," Mingyu pointed out.
"VERNON!"
"On it!" Vernon appeared with a desk lamp and determination.
At the same time - Y/N's Clinic Break Room
"You need to date," Krissa, Y/N's coworker, declared while stealing her lunch. "When was the last time you went out?"
"I go out!" Y/N protested, thinking about her weekly grocery runs.
"The old lady with the hip replacement asking you to dinner with her grandson doesn't count."
"Mrs. Kim is sweet..."
"She's also convinced her grandson is the next president. He collects rubber ducks, Y/N. Rubber. Ducks."
6:30 PM - The Ambush Begins
Seungcheol was having a good day. He'd organized new training menus (color-coded by intensity), named his newest hockey stick ("Perseverance"), and only spent three hours analyzing game footage.
The first sign something was wrong: the lounge lights were off.
The second sign: Mingyu trying (failing) to hide his 6'2" frame behind a plant.
"What-"
"HYUNG!" Seungkwan's voice echoed dramatically. "Do you know what day it is?"
"...Thursday?"
"IT'S YOUR INTERVENTION!"
The lights flashed on. Seungcheol found himself surrounded by his teammates, each wearing matching black hoodies with "Code Red: The Captain NEEDS a GIRLFRIEND" printed in glittering letters.
"Are those... rhinestones?"
"Focus!" Jeonghan stepped forward. "Seungcheol-ah, we need to talk about your relationship with hockey."
"My perfectly normal-"
"YOU TRIED TO INSTALL AN ICE RINK IN YOUR APARTMENT!" DK interrupted.
"It was a small one-"
"Exhibit A!" Hoshi clicked to his first slide, featuring a pie chart of Seungcheol's daily activities:
- 60% Hockey
- 30% Thinking about hockey
- 9% Basic human needs
- 1% Everything else
"That's... not accurate?"
"Exhibit B!" Another slide: a photo series titled 'The Evolution of Our Captain's Dating Life' showing:
- 2019: Attempted to explain offside rules on first date
- 2020: Brought hockey stick to coffee shop
- 2021: Asked team manager for practice schedules during blind date
- 2022: "Is being married to hockey valid?"
Meanwhile - Y/N's Evening Commute
"Just download the app," Krissa had insisted, practically forcing Y/N's thumb onto the install button. "Trust the algorithm!"
Now, squished between a businessman and a grandmother on the subway, Y/N found herself mindlessly scrolling through profiles.
Too posed. Too filtered. Too... is that guy posing with a fish?
Then she saw it.
'Cheol, 26'
The first photo was clearly candid - a genuine smile, caught mid-laugh. Someone had badly edited out what looked like hockey gear in the background, leaving obvious white spaces.
The second photo: attempting to look serious but his eyes gave away suppressed laughter. More suspicious white spaces around him.
The third: clearly taken without his knowledge, feeding a stray cat.
Bio: "Just a guy who likes ice sports and dad jokes. My friends made me download this. They're currently holding my training menus hostage. Send help."
Y/N found herself smiling. There was something refreshingly honest about him.
Back at the Ambush...
"And THAT'S why penguins mate for life!" Hoshi concluded slide thirty-seven.
"What do penguins have to do with-" Seungcheol started.
"EVERYTHING!" Seungkwan was now lying dramatically across the floor. "Even flightless birds find love, hyung!"
"Woozi-hyung, music!" DK cued.
The opening notes of 'The Ballad of Single Seungcheol' filled the room, accompanied by Vernon's unexpected contemporary dance.
"When did he learn-" Seungcheol tried again.
"STOP DEFLECTING!" Jeonghan commanded. "Mingyu, the phone!"
"For our legs!" Mingyu declared, executing a perfect phone-grabbing maneuver.
"YAH!"
"Jun, Minghao, initiate synchronized intervention dance!"
"We have a dance?!" Minghao looked panicked.
"Improvise!"
- After 15 minutes of improvised dance, they managed to make Seungcheol agree in making a dating app profile: "Bio first," Wonwoo adjusted his glasses, phone in hand. "Interests?"
"Hockey!" Seungcheol offered from his chair, where he was being guarded by Mingyu and Jun.
"NO!" Eleven voices shouted.
"Put 'enjoys sports'," Joshua suggested diplomatically.
"And dad jokes," Jeonghan added. "He needs to warn them early."
"What about: 'Looking for someone to share ice cream with'?" Vernon suggested.
"That's... actually cute?" Woozi sounded surprised.
"Add 'good with kids'!" Hoshi insisted.
"I've never-"
"YOU LITERALLY TUCK US IN AFTER PRACTICE!" Seungkwan interrupted.
Photo Selection Committee:
"No hockey photos," Mingyu declared, scrolling through Seungcheol's gallery.
"That's 98% of my photos-"
"We know," Minghao sighed. "That's the problem."
"Oh! This one!" Dino pointed. "From team dinner!"
"Too many hockey players in frame," Joshua vetoed.
"We could edit them out?" Jun suggested.
"NO-" Seungcheol started.
"Wonwoo, your Photoshop skills!" Jeonghan commanded.
"On it."
"Is that... why is there a white blob where Mingyu was standing?"
"Artistic choice," Wonwoo muttered, concentrated.
Meanwhile - Y/N's Apartment
"You're overthinking," Krissa's voice came through the phone as Y/N stared at Cheol's profile.
"His friends clearly made this profile-"
"That's cute! It means he's not a player."
"But what if-"
"Y/N, I swear, if you don't swipe right-"
"His smile seems genuine..."
"SWIPE. RIGHT. NOW."
Back at the Ambush:
"And done!" Wonwoo announced. "Profile complete."
Seungcheol looked horrified at the final result:
Photos:
Team dinner (now with mysterious white blobs)
Feeding cat (only half-edited hockey stick visible)
Candid laugh (suspiciously cropped)
Bio: "Just a guy who enjoys sports, dad jokes, and ice cream. Good with kids (and teammates). My friends made me download this. They're currently holding my training menus hostage. Send help."
"It's... honest?" Joshua offered.
"Too honest," Seungcheol groaned.
"Now we wait-" Jeonghan started.
ping
Thirteen heads snapped toward the phone.
"Is that..." Dino peered closer.
"A MATCH!" Seungkwan actually collapsed.
"Someone check if he's breathing," Woozi muttered.
Y/N's profile lit up the screen.
Seungcheol felt his ears turn red as he read:
"Physical therapist who loves dogs, rainy days, and helping people recover. Looking for something genuine. Probably swiping through this while drinking coffee."
Her smile was warm, natural. No filters, no posed shots. Just... real.
"She's perfect!" Hoshi declared. "The stars-"
"If you say the stars align one more time-" Woozi threatened.
"But they do!"
"Quick, say something!" Mingyu urged.
"I can do this myself-"
"The last time you messaged someone, you sent hockey statistics," Jun reminded him.
"One time!"
"Three times," Joshua corrected, consulting his notes. "Four if we count the referee explanation."
Seungcheol looked at Y/N's profile again. Something about her eyes seemed kind, understanding. Before his teammates could interfere, he typed:
"Since you're a physical therapist, any advice for teammates who dramatically fall during interventions?"
Across Seoul, Y/N was curled up on her couch when the message came through. She laughed out loud, typing back:
"Depends. Was it a planned fall or genuine distress? In my professional opinion, dramatic interventions require proper falling technique."
In the team lounge:
"She has humor!" Seungkwan had revived just to faint again.
"And medical knowledge for your old joints!" Dino dodged another flying pillow.
"Mission status?" Jeonghan asked formally.
"Phase one..." Joshua consulted his notebook, "surprisingly successful?"
"Now what?" Vernon asked.
"Now," Jeonghan smiled mysteriously, "we begin Phase Two: Operation First Date."
"We have a Phase Two?" Woozi looked concerned.
"We have phases up to Z," Joshua showed his notebook.
"God help us all," Seungcheol muttered, but he was smiling at his phone.
Little did Y/N know that her simple right swipe had initiated not just a potential romance, but had inadvertently involved her in the chaos of thirteen hockey players' most ambitious mission yet.
And somewhere in the lounge, Hoshi was already preparing his "Why Tigers Make Great Wedding Mascots" presentation.
-
“How To Text While Twelve People Read Over Your Shoulder"
Team Lounge - 10 Minutes Post-Match
"Don't just stare at her message," Mingyu urged, practically draped over Seungcheol's shoulder.
"I'm thinking-"
"That's your problem!" Seungkwan had recovered enough to offer wisdom. "Less thinking, more heart!"
Seungcheol typed: "My teammate's falls are an art form. Years of practice-"
"NO SPORTS REFERENCES!" Twelve voices yelled.
Delete, delete, delete.
"Just be yourself," Joshua advised.
"But not too much yourself," Jeonghan added.
"What does that even mean?" Seungcheol groaned.
Meanwhile - Y/N's Apartment
"He's taking a while to respond," Y/N muttered, watching the typing bubble appear and disappear.
"Maybe he's nervous?" Krissa suggested through the phone.
"Or composing poetry," Y/N joked.
"Or being attacked by friends," Krissa laughed.
If only she knew.
Back at the Lounge:
"Okay, how about..." Seungcheol tried again.
"You have to match her energy!" Hoshi was now doing his tiger-energy dance.
"Stop pressuring him," Wonwoo adjusted his glasses. "Statistically, overthinking first messages leads to-"
"No statistics!" Jun covered his ears.
Finally, Seungcheol managed to type:
"Would you believe me if I said one teammate has a dedicated falling technique for every emotional situation? We're currently at 'betrayed by captain who won't date' level dramatics."
Send.
"OH MY GOD HE SENT IT-" Seungkwan started hyperventilating.
"Quick, everyone act natural!" DK suggested, immediately striking the most unnatural pose possible.
Y/N's response came quickly:
"😂 As a professional, I'd love to analyze these techniques. For medical purposes, of course. Does he take appointments?"
The lounge erupted:
"She's funny!" from Vernon.
"She used an emoji!" Dino noted.
"Medical purposes," Woozi smirked.
"RESPOND FASTER!" Mingyu shook Seungcheol.
Meanwhile, in another corner, Operation Phase Two was already underway:
"Gather round," Jeonghan whispered to his secret subcommittee. "We need to prepare for every possible first date scenario."
Joshua pulled out a new notebook labeled "First Date Contingency Plans A-Z":
Plan A: Coffee Shop
- Pros: Casual, easy escape
- Cons: Might talk about hockey
- Solution: Remove all sports channels from café TVs
Plan B: Dog Café
- Pros: Cute animals, natural conversation
- Cons: Seungcheol might be allergic
- Note: Test for allergies immediately
Plan C: Restaurant
- Pros: Traditional, romantic
- Cons: Too much pressure
- Solution: Have team occupy all surrounding tables
"Should we include Plan T for Tiger Zoo?" Hoshi asked hopefully.
"No."
Back to the main conversation:
Seungcheol: "He's currently booked solid with interventions, but I hear he's willing to demonstrate for medical professionals 😊"
Y/N: "How generous! Though I should warn you, my professional opinion might include prescribing more social interactions for certain hockey-focused captains 😉"
The lounge went silent.
"Did she just..." Vernon started.
"She figured out..." Mingyu gasped.
"A WOMAN OF INTELLIGENCE!" Seungkwan declared.
Seungcheol felt his ears redden but found himself smiling as he typed:
"Caught me. Though in my defense, my team's intervention included a PowerPoint about why penguins finding love means I should too."
Y/N's Apartment:
She was grinning at her phone, ignoring Krissa's demands for updates. There was something endearing about this clearly hockey-obsessed captain and his concerned teammates.
Y/N: "Penguins are quite romantic. Though I hope your team knows humans have slightly different courtship rituals. Slightly."
Team Lounge:
"Is this... flirting?" Dino whispered in awe.
"Taking notes," Joshua muttered, scribbling furiously.
"We should give them space," Woozi suggested sensibly.
Nobody moved.
"I meant that as a command," Woozi glared.
Still nobody moved.
Seungcheol, somehow managing to type despite twelve people breathing down his neck:
"Would you be interested in discussing these human courtship rituals over coffee? I promise no PowerPoints. Can't guarantee no dramatic teammates though."
The lounge held its breath.
Y/N: "I'd like that! Fair warning though - I might assess your teammate's falling technique from afar. Professional curiosity 😊"
"SHE SAID YES!"
Chaos erupted:
- Seungkwan fainted (again)
- Hoshi began his victory tiger dance
- Vernon started his congratulatory rap
- Woozi contemplated early retirement
- Jeonghan's eyes gleamed with Phase Two possibilities
"Operation First Date begins now," Joshua announced formally.
"Can I just plan my own date?" Seungcheol tried.
The look of pity he received from twelve pairs of eyes was answer enough.
- "Operation First Date (Or Twelve Ways to Overcomplicate Coffee)"
The Pre-Date Strategy Meeting - 3 Days Before
"ATTENTION!" Jeonghan stood at a whiteboard, pointer in hand. The team lounge had been transformed into a tactical command center, complete with:
- Floor plans of every coffee shop in a 5-mile radius
- Weather forecasts for the next week
- A mysterious PowerPoint titled "Tiger Luck in Romance"
- Seungkwan's "Emergency Scenarios" binder
- Joshua's "Date Exit Strategies A-Z"
Seungcheol sat in the corner, wondering where it all went wrong.
"First," Jeonghan began, "location analysis."
Wonwoo stepped forward, pushing up his glasses:
"I've compiled data on 47 potential coffee shops based on:
- Ambient lighting
- Background music volume
- Table spacing for optimal conversation
- Distance from hockey-related establishments
- Escape route availability"
"It's just coffee," Seungcheol muttered.
"JUST COFFEE?!" Seungkwan clutched his chest. "This is your FUTURE!"
"Moving on," Jeonghan continued. "Mingyu, wardrobe report."
Mingyu unveiled a clothing rack that definitely wasn't in the lounge this morning.
"I've prepared three categories:
1. 'Casual but Make It Romantic'
2. 'Yes I'm a Hockey Captain but I Read Books Too'
3. 'Trust Me I Have Other Hobbies'"
"Are those my clothes?" Seungcheol squinted.
"No, these are better," Minghao replied, sorting through fabrics. "Your clothes all say 'I sleep in hockey gear.'"
Meanwhile - Y/N's Preparation
"Just wear something comfortable," Krissa suggested, watching Y/N tear through her closet.
"But what kind of comfortable? Coffee comfortable? First date comfortable? Meeting-a-hockey-captain comfortable?"
"Is that last one a category?"
"I'm making it one!"
Back at Strategy HQ:
"Conversation topics!" Joshua read from his notebook.
DK raised his hand. "What about-"
"No hockey," everyone chorused.
"But-"
"NO. HOCKEY."
Hoshi bounced up. "The stars say-"
"No horoscopes," Woozi interrupted.
"But the tigers-"
"Especially no tiger horoscopes."
Vernon, surprisingly practical: "Why don't you just... talk normally?"
The room fell silent. Everyone looked at Vernon like he'd suggested playing hockey blindfolded.
"Talk... normally?" Jeonghan tested the words.
"Like... without a script?" Jun looked concerned.
"Absolutely not," Seungkwan declared. "We need contingency plans!"
The Emergency Scenarios Binder appeared:
- Scenario 1: Awkward Silence
Solution: Pre-planted conversation cards under sugar packets
- Scenario 2: Hockey Mention
Solution: DK's emergency dance distraction
- Scenario 3: Rain
Solution: Strategic umbrella placement by Jun
- Scenario 4: She Recognizes Surveillance Team
Solution: Mingyu's "We're Filming a Documentary" cover story
"Surveillance team?!" Seungcheol stood up.
"Sit down," Jeonghan commanded. "We're not done with the scenarios."
"There's more?!"
"There's always more," Joshua said ominously, flipping to his notebook's section labeled 'Crisis Management'.
Dino raised his hand. "What about our positions?"
"Ah yes," Jeonghan pulled down a blueprint. "Operation Coffee Shop Placement":
- Wonwoo & Mingyu: Window seats, pretending to study
- Joshua & Jeonghan: Counter, monitoring drink orders
- Seungkwan & Vernon: Outside café, "casual" pedestrians
- Jun & Minghao: Corner table, fake art students
- Hoshi: Emergency tiger energy provider
- Woozi: Getaway driver
- DK & Dino: Backup dancers if needed
"Getaway driver?!" Seungcheol looked alarmed.
"You never know," Woozi shrugged.
"And I'll be monitoring everyone's positions through these," Hoshi proudly held up twelve earpieces.
"Absolutely not," Seungcheol stood again.
"You're right," Jeonghan nodded. "We need color-coded earpieces."
The Day Before - Final Preparations:
Text from Y/N: "Looking forward to tomorrow! Any preference for which café?"
The team lounge exploded into action:
- Wonwoo consulting his café spreadsheets
- Mingyu checking lighting angles
- Joshua reviewing escape routes
- Seungkwan practicing his "casual pedestrian" walk
- Hoshi doing good luck tiger dances
Seungcheol, somehow maintaining sanity: "How about Stone Street Café at 2?"
"THAT WASN'T ON THE APPROVED LIST!" Seungkwan screeched.
"Perfect timing and place!" Y/N replied.
"She's perfect," Hoshi whispered. "The tigers were right."
"The tigers weren't-" Woozi started, then gave up.
"Tomorrow then," Jeonghan announced dramatically, "Operation First Date begins."
"Can't wait! 😊" Y/N texted, blissfully unaware of the twelve-man tactical team she'd inadvertently invited to coffee.
- "Operation First Date (Or How Twelve Hockey Players Became Drama Addicts)"
D-Day: Stone Street Café
1:30 PM - Initial Positions
"Everyone remember their roles?" Jeonghan whispered into the earpiece.
"We could just... not do this," Woozi suggested from the getaway car.
"COMMITMENT!" Seungkwan adjusted his "casual pedestrian" beret.
1:45 PM - Target Sighting
"Eagle has landed," Vernon reported, watching Seungcheol approach. "He's... wait."
"Report!" Jeonghan demanded.
"He looks... good?"
Everyone peered through various windows and hiding spots. Their captain had somehow:
- Styled his hair naturally
- Worn the outfit they approved
- Arrived early
- Wasn't carrying any hockey equipment
"Did we enter an alternate universe?" Minghao whispered.
1:55 PM - Second Target
"Y/N approaching from the east," Mingyu reported from his "study" table. "She's..."
"She's?" Eleven voices asked.
"Wow."
Y/N walked up to the café, a simple sundress and genuine smile making their captain visibly malfunction.
"Oh no, he's frozen," Jun panicked.
"Deploy emergency-" Seungkwan started.
But then...
2:00 PM - The Shift
Seungcheol smiled - not his camera smile, not his captain smile, but something softer. He opened the door for her, and...
"Did you see that?" Joshua whispered.
"The way they both laughed at the same time?" Jeonghan was already invested.
"Shhh!" Dino hushed. "We can't hear!"
Inside the café:
"I honestly wasn't sure if you'd come alone," Y/N grinned, settling into her seat.
"What makes you think I did?" Seungcheol raised an eyebrow.
Y/N casually glanced around, spotting:
- Two very tall men aggressively pretending to study
- A pair of "art students" who hadn't touched their sketchbooks
- A beret-wearing individual walking past the window for the fifth time
"Just a hunch," she smiled.
In various hiding spots:
"She knows!" Vernon whispered.
"But she's not running," Wonwoo observed.
"Guys," Mingyu suddenly said, "look."
They watched as Seungcheol and Y/N fell into easy conversation. No emergency cards needed. No tiger horoscopes required. Just... natural.
2:30 PM - The Evolution
"Should we deploy conversation starter #7?" Seungkwan asked.
"Wait..." Jeonghan held up his hand, watching.
Inside:
"So," Y/N leaned forward, "tell me about hockey."
Twelve hearts stopped.
But instead of launching into statistics, Seungcheol said, "Only if you tell me about what made you choose physical therapy."
She lit up, and suddenly they were sharing stories, laughing, completely lost in their own world.
The Surveillance Team:
"Are we... watching a drama?" DK whispered.
"Quick, someone film this!" Hoshi was emotional.
"Already on it," Joshua had his phone out.
3:00 PM - The Realization
One by one, the earpieces went silent. The elaborate plans forgotten. Twelve hockey players found themselves completely invested in watching their captain just... be happy.
"They're perfect together," Seungkwan sniffled.
"The way she makes him laugh..." Dino observed.
"The way he actually listens..." Mingyu added.
"No one mention hockey once..." Woozi noted, now inside with popcorn(?).
4:00 PM - Mission Evolution
As Seungcheol and Y/N prepared to leave, plans for a second date already made, the team had completely abandoned their positions in favor of:
- Seungkwan and DK writing a musical about them
- Hoshi planning their wedding
- Joshua documenting everything for future generations
- Jeonghan already plotting "Operation Second Date"
- Mingyu and Vernon designing couple merchandise
- Minghao and Jun choreographing a congratulatory dance
- Wonwoo calculating their compatibility (98.7%)
- Dino learning wedding songs
- Woozi pretending he wasn't composing a love song
Outside the Café:
"Your friends are really invested," Y/N commented, watching various heads duck behind plants.
"I'm sorry about them," Seungcheol rubbed his neck.
"Don't be. It's sweet. Though..." she grinned, "they might want to work on their stealth skills. I don't think art students usually cry over other people's coffee dates."
They both looked at Seungkwan, who was openly weeping into his beret.
"Second date?" Seungcheol asked hopefully.
"Definitely. Maybe somewhere with less... audience?"
"IMPOSSIBLE!" came a chorus of whispers from various plants.
Later - Team Lounge:
"Mission status?" Jeonghan asked formally.
"Complete success," Joshua reported, still emotional.
"Better than success," Seungkwan declared. "It's true love!"
"It's one date," Woozi reminded them.
"But did you see how they LOOKED at each other?!" Hoshi was already preparing his "Why Tigers Make Perfect Ring Bearers" presentation.
"So..." Vernon asked what everyone was thinking, "Operation Second Date?"
Seungcheol, walking in: "No."
"But-"
"Absolutely not."
"We'll be subtle!" Mingyu promised.
"You cried into a textbook."
"Those were subtle tears!"
Y/N's Apartment:
"How was it?" Krissa demanded.
Y/N smiled, thinking of gentle eyes and genuine laughs, of twelve not-so-hidden supporters and one perfect afternoon.
"It was... unexpected. In the best way."
Her phone buzzed:
Seungcheol: "I apologize for my team. They're... enthusiastic."
Y/N: "They care about you. It's cute. Though I did wonder why one kept making tiger poses."
Seungcheol: "That's just Hoshi. Wait until you meet him properly."
Y/N: "Looking forward to it 😊"
Team Lounge:
"She said she's looking forward to meeting us!" Seungkwan announced to the group chat.
"FAMILY DINNER!" twelve voices decided.
"No," Seungcheol texted back.
"Too late," Jeonghan was already planning.
"Operation Family Dinner begins now!" Joshua declared.
"We're not calling it-" Woozi started.
"OPERATION FAMILY DINNER!" everyone chorused.
Seungcheol sighed, but he was smiling. Maybe their chaos had led to something perfect after all.
-
"The One Where Someone Actually Likes Hockey (And Him)"
Operation Family Dinner Prep - Team Lounge
"Ground rules," Jeonghan addressed the team. "No embarrassing stories-"
"There goes my PowerPoint," Seungkwan sighed.
"No tiger facts-"
"But-" Hoshi started.
"NO tiger facts, and absolutely no-"
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED BANNER!" Mingyu and Vernon burst in, proudly displaying a giant banner reading "THANK YOU FOR LIKING OUR CAPTAIN"
"Take it down," Seungcheol groaned.
"But we used glitter!" Vernon protested.
Meanwhile - Y/N's Apartment
"Twelve hockey players," Krissa repeated. "You're having dinner with twelve hockey players."
"Plus Seungcheol," Y/N added, trying on her fifth outfit.
"The same twelve who stalked your coffee date?"
"They weren't stalking! They were... enthusiastically supporting."
The Dinner - 7 PM
Y/N arrived at the team's favorite restaurant to find:
- The banner (they didn't take it down)
- Seungkwan practicing his welcome speech
- Hoshi's "subtle" tiger decorations
- Twelve very excited hockey players
- One very apologetic Seungcheol
"I'm so sorry," he whispered. "We can leave-"
"Are you kidding? This is adorable!"
The team collectively melted.
Dinner was in full swing when Seungcheol started explaining a particularly complex play. The twelve teammates watched in fascination, each processing this unprecedented scene differently:
Jeonghan's Corner: "I've seen him scare away five dates with hockey talk," he whispered to Joshua. "Six," Joshua corrected, still filming. "Remember the coffee shop girl who ran away during his penalty explanation?" "But look at Y/N..." They watched as she drew actual play diagrams on napkins. "Are we sure she's real?"
Hoshi & DK's Observation: "The way she gets excited when he gets excited," DK clutched his chest. "It's like watching a drama!" Hoshi wiped a tear. "Better than your tiger documentaries?" "Nothing's better than- OH MY GOD SHE JUST ASKED ABOUT GAME STRATEGIES!"
Mingyu to Wonwoo: "Remember when he tried explaining hockey to my sister?" "She blocked his number," Wonwoo nodded. "But Y/N just asked him to explain MORE." "Statistically impossible but... happening right in front of us."
Minghao noticed something: "Look at his hands," he whispered to Jun. "What about them?" "They're not doing the nervous thing. He's just... comfortable." Jun sniffled: "Our captain's growing up!"
Woozi's Mental Notes:
First date to survive hockey talk ✓
Actually understands offside rules ✓
Makes Seungcheol laugh naturally ✓
Might need to compose a love song after all
Seungkwan's Live Commentary to Vernon: "Did you see that? She just made a hockey joke!" "And he actually laughed-" "NOT THE POLITE LAUGH, VERNON. THE REAL ONE!" "Should you be taking notes this intensely?" "This is historical documentation!"
Dino, watching it all unfold: "Hyung looks... different." "Happy," everyone replied simultaneously.
The turning point came when Y/N casually mentioned:
"Oh, that reminds me of your game last month - the one where you adjusted the defensive formation mid-play? That was brilliant."
Seungcheol froze mid-explanation. "You... watched our old games?"
Y/N blushed slightly. "I might have done some research? I wanted to understand what you love about it. Plus," she grinned, "watching you lead your team is pretty attractive."
Several things happened at once:
Seungkwan choked on air
Jeonghan dropped his phone
Joshua caught it without looking (still filming)
Hoshi started doing tiny victory tiger paws
Mingyu and Minghao high-fived
Wonwoo's glasses fogged up
DK clutched Jun in emotional support
Vernon patted a crying Seungkwan
Woozi pretended he wasn't writing lyrics
Dino watched his hyungs lose their collective minds
But most importantly: Seungcheol looked at Y/N like she had just scored the winning goal in the championship game.
Later, during dessert:
"I have a confession," Y/N admitted to the table. "I might have noticed you all at the coffee shop."
"We were subtle!" Seungkwan protested.
"You cried into a plant."
"Those were subtle tears!"
"And the one doing tiger poses by the window..."
"That was for good luck!" Hoshi defended.
"And the two tall ones pretending to study..."
Mingyu and Wonwoo suddenly found the ceiling fascinating.
"...was actually really sweet. He's lucky to have people who care so much."
The team melted all over again.
"She understands us too," Jeonghan whispered reverently.
"ONE OF US!" Seungkwan declared.
"We're keeping her," Hoshi announced.
"That's not how it works-" Woozi started.
"Too late! Already adopted!" DK confirmed.
Y/N laughed, fitting perfectly into their chaos while her hand found Seungcheol's under the table.
Later that night, Team Group Chat (Minus Seungcheol):
Seungkwan: EMERGENCY MEETING Joshua: It's midnight Seungkwan: LOVE DOESN'T SLEEP Jeonghan: Operation Wedding Planning begins Woozi: It's been ONE dinner Hoshi: BUT DID YOU SEE THEM?! Mingyu: They're perfect 🥺 Vernon: The way she understood hockey... DK: The way he smiled... Jun: The way they looked at each other... Minghao: The way they just fit... Dino: So... Operation Wedding Planning? Wonwoo: sends spreadsheet
Meanwhile, Seungcheol walking Y/N home:
"I'm sorry about them," he started.
"Don't be. They're wonderful. Chaotic, but wonderful."
"Like a hurricane of love," he laughed.
"With a tiger twist," she added.
He looked at her then, really looked at her, and thought maybe his team's crazy plans weren't so crazy after all.
- Something was definitely different about their captain. The first signs were subtle - arriving five minutes late to practice (unheard of), constant phone checking (suspicious), and most alarmingly, humming while setting up drills (miraculous). The team huddled at the corner of the rink, watching Seungcheol with a mixture of awe and disbelief as he smiled at his phone for the fifth time in ten minutes.
"I think we broke him," Seungkwan whispered, clutching Vernon's arm. "Our plan worked too well."
Two months into dating Y/N, and their strict, hockey-obsessed captain had transformed into someone who said things like "the ice understands love" with complete seriousness. The man who once made them repeat a play 47 times now ended practice early because "the lighting at the coffee shop is perfect at 4 PM."
The real shock came during their morning practice. Seungcheol, still typing on his phone with a soft smile, casually announced, "No Sunday practice this week." The rink fell silent. Twelve pairs of eyes stared at their captain as if he'd just declared he was quitting hockey to become a tiger trainer (much to Hoshi's disappointment, he wasn't).
"Why?" Jeonghan dared to ask, though they all knew the answer. Their captain's ears turned that telling shade of red as he mumbled something about Y/N planning something special.
"WHIPPED!" Seungkwan coughed not-so-subtly, earning a half-hearted glare from their leader. The fact that he didn't assign extra laps for the comment only proved the point.
Meanwhile, across town at the physical therapy clinic, Y/N was having a similar effect on her workplace. Her colleagues had grown used to her sudden laughs at hockey memes ("He explains the rules so passionately!"), her lunch breaks extending whenever a certain captain dropped by ("Just five more minutes, he's explaining a new play"), and the way she lit up every time her phone buzzed.
"You actually enjoy his hockey talks," Krissa observed with amazement during their break. "Like, genuinely enjoy them."
Y/N smiled, remembering how Seungcheol's eyes sparkled when she asked about his game strategies. "He's cute when he's excited about it. Besides," she added, checking her phone where Seungcheol had sent a detailed analysis of their morning practice, complete with heart emojis, "his passion is attractive."
Back at the rink, the team was experiencing the full effects of their captain's transformation. Team meetings that once ran for hours now ended with "Any questions? No? Great, I have a date." Their notorious extended cool-downs had shortened considerably because "Y/N found this great lunch spot."
"Remember when he made us sleep at the rink before big games?" Jun whispered to Minghao during water break, watching their captain practically skip while texting.
"Now he leaves early because 'Y/N might get cold waiting,'" Minghao mimicked, though his smile was fond.
The team often found themselves "accidentally" having lunch near Y/N's clinic, watching their captain transform from fierce hockey leader to soft boyfriend in seconds. He'd arrive with her favorite coffee and snacks, his whole demeanor changing at the sight of her smile.
"It's actually kind of beautiful," Seungkwan sniffled, watching through the café window as Seungcheol forgot about his beloved hockey for a full minute, just staring at Y/N like she hung the stars.
"Disgusting," Woozi corrected, but he was already composing what he'd never admit was a love song.
"Remember our mission?" Jeonghan mused, watching their captain laugh at something Y/N said. "Get Seungcheol a girlfriend because we're afraid he's gonna be more strict with practice?"
"Mission accomplished?" Joshua suggested, still filming everything for their future wedding video.
"Better than accomplished," Mingyu grinned, pointing at their captain who was now excitedly explaining a play with sugar packets while Y/N watched with genuine interest. "We got him a girlfriend who actually likes hockey."
"And him," Vernon added importantly.
"The tigers blessed us," Hoshi declared solemnly.
For once, no one argued with the tiger agenda. They were too busy watching their captain being happy, finally having found someone who loved both his passion and him, hockey statistics and all.
- It became their thing - late evening walks after his practice and her clinic hours, usually ending up at the quiet café near the rink. Tonight, Seungcheol watched as Y/N drew little stick figures on a napkin, seriously explaining how his last play could be modified. The café owner, used to their presence, had long stopped asking if they wanted refills, just quietly placing fresh cups of coffee at their table.
"See, if you shift this position slightly," Y/N pointed with her pen, completely focused, "it might give you better coverage on the left side." She looked up to find him staring at her with that soft expression he seemed to reserve just for these moments. "What?"
"Nothing," he smiled, reaching across to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Just... do you know you scrunch your nose when you're really focused on explaining something?"
"Says the one who gets excited sparkles in his eyes when talking about new practice drills," she teased back, catching his hand and intertwining their fingers.
These quiet moments were theirs, away from twelve enthusiastic supporters (who they both knew were probably somewhere nearby, with Seungkwan likely crying into Joshua's shoulder about 'true love'). Here, they could just be Seungcheol and Y/N - not the hockey captain and the physical therapist, just two people who found each other through a chaotic intervention and some badly edited dating app photos.
"I never thanked them properly," Y/N mused, playing with his fingers.
"The team? Pretty sure they consider you letting Hoshi explain tiger love compatibility at dinner last week as thanks enough."
She laughed, remembering how seriously Hoshi had presented his PowerPoint while the others tried (failed) to stop him. "Not just for that. For caring about you enough to stage that whole intervention. For being so invested in your happiness that they turned into part-time spies."
"Terrible spies," Seungcheol corrected, thinking of Mingyu's failed attempts at stealth despite his height, and Seungkwan's dramatic crying behind plants. "But yeah, they're... special."
"Your family," she smiled softly.
"Our family now," he corrected, then blushed at his own boldness. "I mean, if you want- they've kind of already adopted you- but no pressure-"
She stopped his rambling with a gentle squeeze of his hand. "I'd love that. Though I should warn you, I might enable your hockey obsession more than they'd like."
"You mean you'll actually listen to my game analysis?"
"I already do that."
"And watch practice sometimes?"
"Already planning to."
"And not run away when I name my hockey sticks?"
"As long as you don't name them all after me," she teased.
His ears turned red. "About that..."
"Cheol! How many?"
"Just the new one! And maybe the backup one. And possibly the special game day one..."
Her laughter filled the café, and Seungcheol thought about how perfectly she fit into his life - into their lives. How she understood not just his passion for hockey, but also his need to take care of twelve chaotic teammates. How she'd become part of their family so naturally, like she was always meant to be there.
"Hey," he said softly, making her look up from where she was still drawing play diagrams. "I love you."
It wasn't the first time he'd said it, but it still made her heart skip just like it did that first time (when he blurted it out after she attended his game and actually understood why a particular play was brilliant).
"I love you too," she smiled, "hockey obsession and all."
"And the twelve-man emotional support team that comes with it?"
"Especially them. Though..." she glanced at the window where several suspicious plants seemed to have gathered, "they might need some work on their stealth skills."
Outside, they could faintly hear Seungkwan's emotional "They're so perfect!" followed by multiple shushes and what sounded like Woozi dragging him away.
Seungcheol just smiled, squeezing her hand. Let them watch. Let them see that sometimes the craziest plans work out perfectly. Let them witness that yes, someone could love both hockey and him, statistics and all.
And if their next date happened to be watching game footage while Y/N pointed out defensive patterns and Seungcheol fell more in love with every observation, well... that was just their kind of perfect.
[In the group chat later that night] Seungkwan: THEY'RE SO IN LOVE 😭 Jeonghan: Mission Accomplished ✓ Hoshi: The tigers blessed this union 🐯 Woozi: Stop watching them on dates Joshua: But the wedding video... DK: They're literally perfect??? Mingyu: Hyung named THREE sticks after her Vernon: Whipped culture Jun: Worth all the spy training Minghao: We did that Wonwoo: Statistically impossible but real Dino: So... Mission Possible: Wedding? All: MISSION POSSIBLE: WEDDING!

Practice Makes Imperfect (Pt. One)

A perfectionist ballerina struggles to find her rhythm-not just in her mandatory hip hop class, but in life itself. When she turns to Hoshi, a laid back hip hop major, he helps her see there is more to life than just structure and control.

songs for this chapter:
- My Body Is a Cage by Arcade Fire
- Liquid Smooth by Mitski
You wake up before your alarm.
Not because you want to. You never want to. But because your body doesn’t know how not to obey the rules you’ve beaten into it. The light isn’t even up yet when your hand smacks the alarm off out of pure reflex. You’re already moving, already stretching your calves against the edge of your mattress like you’re warming up for war. In a way, you are.
You move through your morning like a machine. Hair in a bun. Breakfast by 6:00. Coffee black. Gym by 6:30. Run four miles. Stretch. Shower. Be on campus by 8:00 with enough time to revise yesterday’s math notes before your 9:00 a.m. class.
It’s exhausting, but it works. That’s what you tell yourself, anyway.
You’re double majoring in Ballet and Mathematics. Most people can’t wrap their heads around it when you tell them. As if they’re opposite sides of the spectrum. But they’re not—not really. They both depend on precision. Repetition. Obedience. Structure. The ability to show your work and leave no room for interpretation.
People think ballet is art. Sometimes it is. But mostly, it’s numbers. It’s angles and physics and symmetry. It’s learning how to master your body so completely that it all becomes invisible to the audience. Seamless. Effortless. That’s the lie. That’s the goal.
You’ve been dancing since before you could spell your own last name. You don’t remember a version of yourself that wasn’t chasing perfection. That wasn’t stretching through injury, re-tying pointe shoes with shaking hands, staring into studio mirrors until your own reflection looked back at you like a stranger.
Everyone thinks you’re talented. What they don’t understand is that it’s not talent—it’s terror.
You don’t know how to be bad at something. You’ve never been allowed to be.
Your ballet instructor always said that if you have a backup plan, you’re already planning to fail. So you never told her about your math major. About the hours you spend calculating things no one will ever dance to. About the tiny voice in the back of your mind that keeps whispering: What if you don’t make it? What if all of this wasn’t enough?
You lug your backpack to every rehearsal even though everyone else just brings a water bottle and their shoes. But you can’t not bring it. You’d feel naked without it. Inside are your lecture notes, your meal plan, your backup charger, your vitamin C tablets, and three different highlighters. Control, contained in a zippered compartment.
There are no missed classes. No spontaneous nights out. No caffeine after 7 p.m. No social media during meals. Your calendar is color-coded and your playlists are sorted by tempo. You even schedule time to cry, though if it is a good day, you cancel.
It’s easier this way.
If you follow the rules, you won’t fall behind.
If you don’t fall behind, you won’t fail.
If you don’t fail, you won’t have to ask what happens next.
You’ll get the solo. You’ll join a company. You’ll make something of yourself before your body betrays you the way every ballerina’s body eventually does. That’s the plan. That has to be the plan.
There’s no room for error. No room for breaks. You’ve trained yourself out of both.
Because if you stop for even a second—everything might fall apart.
⸻
You’re not used to mirrors being this cruel.
In ballet, at least the reflection has grace. In hip hop, it just confirms what you already fear: you don’t belong here.
You’re not sure who thought it was a good idea to make Ballet majors take cross-disciplinary dance. Probably some sadistic department head who thinks exposure equals growth. Which is rich, considering all you’ve been exposed to this past hour is the fact that you move like a malfunctioning robot.
The music’s too loud. The mirrors are too honest. And your professor looks exhausted just watching you.
“Again,” she says, voice clipped.
You fall into the steps again—if you can call them that. Your limbs are tight, too calculated. You don’t bounce, don’t melt into the beat like the girl to your left does. You don’t ride the music, you choke it.
The routine ends. Everyone else is panting, laughing, high-fiving. You’re standing frozen in the mirror, jaw locked.
Your professor clears her throat. “You’re technically accurate. But there’s no flow. No rhythm. You’re… too stiff.”
The word lands like a slap.
Too stiff.
As if your body doesn’t understand what it’s being asked to do. As if discipline is a curse here instead of a gift.
You nod once, trying to swallow it down. You keep your face neutral, your spine straight. But something ugly starts crawling up your throat.
After class, you don’t talk to anyone. You shove your water bottle into your bag and speed-walk out of the studio before the tears can get any traction. It’s not even that you were the worst in the room—though maybe you were—it’s that for the first time in a long time, you felt exposed. Like the armor you’ve spent years building doesn’t work here.
⸻
You sneak back into the dance building by 10 that night before slipping into one of the vacant studios.
The lights are off, but you don’t bother turning them on. You need the quiet. The dark. The control. You shed your hoodie like muscle memory and begin putting on your pointe shoes, each movement clipped and clean. Your limbs are trembling, not from fatigue—but from something deeper. Something raw.
You throw yourself into the routine you’ve been rehearsing for months.
It’s a solo. Four minutes long. You’ve nailed it before—technique perfect, transitions seamless. But tonight, every step feels like a punishment. You slam into your fouettés too early. Miss your landing on the arabesque turn. There’s no audience, but your face flushes like there is.
You start over.
And again.
And again.
Each time harder. Tighter. You stretch until your legs scream. Force your body to obey until the pain pushes everything else out.
You dance until you can’t think.
You dance until the mirrors stop talking back.
You dance like perfection will undo the feeling of failure clawing at your chest.
Eventually, you collapse to the floor. Chest heaving. Eyes burning.
You tell yourself it’s just the sweat.
⸻
You weren’t planning to stay this late.
Your bones ached, your legs felt like jelly, and your calves had started screaming somewhere around the third hour. But you had a quiz the next morning and a ballet evaluation in two days, so your mind didn’t care how your body felt. You stayed. You always stayed.
It was a miracle you even remembered to eat.
Now, finally—finally—you were done. Kind of.
The studio clock blinked 12:47 AM in pale green. You were the only one left in the building, as usual. Just you and your exhausted reflection, slick with sweat and anxiety under the too-bright fluorescent lights.
You reached for your backpack—the one you dragged around like a safety blanket even to rehearsals. Inside was your laptop, your textbooks, and a perfectly organized stack of notes and assignments. You had submitted every paper on time, aced every test, and somehow still managed to keep your GPA intact. You didn’t allow yourself to slip, no matter how tired you were.
Because failure wasn’t an option.
Ballet helped. It always did. Or at least you told yourself it did.
For three hours, you’d been able to lose yourself in it. The lines, the form, the familiar ache of precision—each step like a prayer whispered under your breath. Your body remembered even when your mind didn’t. You didn’t have to think, you just had to obey. In the echo chamber of your movements, you could forget how humiliated you’d felt in hip hop class.
“You’re too stiff,” your professor had said earlier that day, not unkind but blunt, in front of everyone. “There’s no flow. You’re not letting the music move through you.”
Like your muscles were marble. Like your whole body had forgotten how to breathe.
The words clung to you all evening, even now, tucked into the corners of your shoulders like bruises. You knew he was right. You hated that he was right.
In ballet, you didn’t have to flow. You had to be exact. You had to hit every count with razor-edged sharpness. You could be a machine. You could be perfect.
So you stayed late.
Practiced harder.
Punished yourself, maybe.
Because you didn’t want to be bad at something. And if you couldn’t make yourself flow like the music wanted, you’d at least do what you knew: outwork the ache.
You didn’t even glance at the mirror before leaving. You already knew what you’d see.
The hallway was still, almost eerily so. The kind of quiet that makes you realize how loud your brain is. Your shoes scuffed softly against the tile, the only sound between the studios and practice rooms. You were already rehearsing a mental to-do list—shower, email Professor Greer, review unit circle identities, remember to check if the spring showcase had updated the cast list—
Then you heard it.
A low thump. Then another. Music.
Not piano. Not violin. Not anything meant for pliés and pirouettes.
It was deep and pulsing, like a heartbeat echoing through the building’s chest. You froze mid-step, your brows knitting as you tilted your head toward the sound.
It was faint, but rhythmic and you followed it.
The sound drew you past Studio A, past the empty dressing rooms and vending machines that hadn’t worked since freshman orientation. You hesitated as you neared the last door: Studio C.
The door was slightly ajar, just enough to let the music bleed out into the hallway. A shadow moved inside. Someone was still dancing.
You should’ve kept walking.
But your hand moved without thinking, fingers curling around the edge of the doorframe as you eased closer, careful not to make a sound. You peeked through the narrow crack.
And there he was.
Back to you. Shirt damp. Hair a mess.
His whole body moved like it was made of smoke and sound. Controlled chaos. You couldn’t look away.
Up close, he was… beautiful. But not in the polished, pristine way you were used to.
His dyed blonde hair stuck to his forehead in sweaty strands, the ends curling a little at the nape of his neck. His skin glowed under the studio lights, warm and flushed with exertion. A silver chain swung around his throat, catching light every time he moved. His black tank top clung to his toned frame—shoulders strong, arms cut and lean like he was built for this exact kind of motion.
And his legs—his whole stance—radiated confidence. Power that wasn’t rehearsed or clean. It was raw. Unapologetic. Loose.
You stared, transfixed, while your lungs forgot how to function. His body carved shapes through the air, and it was messy—but in a way that worked. He danced like he didn’t give a single fuck about what anyone thought.
God. What was that like?
You leaned closer without realizing it.
And then—he turned.
You hadn’t made a sound, hadn’t even breathed, but his head snapped toward the door like he’d felt you watching. His eyes landed directly on yours.
Time stopped.
He didn’t say anything. Just stared.
His chest rose and fell beneath the clinging fabric. Sweat glistened along his jaw. His mouth parted slightly in surprise—just enough to knock the air clean from your lungs.
Your entire body went rigid.
You stumbled backward, your bag thudding against your hip as your heart sprinted into your throat. You didn’t wait to see what he’d say. You didn’t want to know.
You turned.
And bolted.
Your steps echoed as you power-walked down the hallway, mortified and breathless, arms clutched tightly around your middle like you could somehow hold all your shame in. Your face burned. You didn’t stop until you were out of the building, into the night air, and halfway across the quad.
He’d seen you.
Worse—he’d caught you watching him.
You dragged your palms down your face and groaned into the dark. What the hell were you thinking?
But the image wouldn’t leave.
The way he moved. The beat pulsing beneath his skin. The look on his face when he saw you.
You lay in bed later, twisted in sheets and guilt, staring at your ceiling like it held answers.
But all your brain played was him.
And no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t stop replaying that moment. Over. And over. And over.
You didn’t even know him.
But now you couldn’t get him out of your head.
⸻
let me know if you would like to be added to the tag list for this <3

gravitational attraction (k. ys)



★ summary: you’re taking intro to physics late as an upperclassman, but thankfully there’s another student in the same predicament–kang yeosang. the two of you end up as lab partners, and as the semester goes on, you become friends and maybe something more. ★ pairing: yeosang x gn!reader ★ genre: college, fluff ★ word count: 3.4k ★ tags/warnings: college soccer player!yeosang, no y/n, physics lab partners to lovers, intentionally lowercase, platonic (or is it?) bed sharing/cuddling, this is all fluff :3 ★ notes: i know yeosang is actually really smart he'd probably be helping ME with physics in reality ! as always, beta'd by @starhwas-bunny ♡ ★ masterlist | read on ao3
you meet him during your first physics lab.
you’re a junior sitting in a class of mostly freshmen, all buzzing with that excited hum of making it through their first syllabus week. while you click your pen aimlessly, you think about the several ways you could’ve avoided taking introductory physics this semester: you could’ve manned the fuck up and gotten it out of the way freshman year, but you’d been scared off after doing poorly in high school; you could’ve taken it sophomore year, but that you would’ve had to take physics and linear algebra in the same semester; you could’ve switched your major entirely!
but unfortunately, you’re not sitting in the quad with your friends, leisurely throwing a frisbee while nursing a cold beer. instead you’re sat at a lab station, waiting for the teaching assistant to give instructions, and cursing yourself for arbitrarily choosing 2:30-5:30 on fridays as your designated weekly lab time.
you glance around, noticing how the other lab stations are filled with at least 2 people already, most of them chatting quietly. it’s not that you mind working alone―in fact you usually prefer it―but you’re shit at physics and you’re hoping for a budding astrophysicist to choose you as their lab partner.
instead, right at the moment that the TA clears his throat to introduce himself, the door into the lab creaks open and a chocolate-haired boy steps inside, calmly but a little breathlessly. he pinpoints the only seat still available (the one next to yours) and makes his way over. he moves with a kind of shamelessness that tells you he’s definitely not a freshman.
he’s lowkey jacked, you notice as he sits down beside you. his shoulders are solid and prominent, and you can see his biceps flex as he grabs a pencil out of his backpack. his hair falls over his forehead and just barely into his eyes, but he runs a hand through it to sift it out of the way. he’s attractive, your brain supplies uselessly.
right next to physics in your mental shelf of things you’re bad at is talking to pretty boys.
and oh, he is very pretty.
over the next hour, you learn that although your lab partner is quite beautiful, he’s also quite dumb. as nervous as you’d been about physics lab, this first one is simple enough, and you end up having to coach the boy sitting next to you through basic kinematics.
“thanks,” he says, scratching the side of his neck with the back of his pen. “i missed a couple lectures.”
“it’s the first week,” you say. “you’re already skipping classes?”
“the season just started and my sleep schedule is still a little wack,” he winces. you don’t blame him though―lecture for this class is at 8 am.
“season?” you say.
“soccer,” he says.
“oh,” you say. “that’s why you’re so…” you break off before you accidentally tell him that he’s jacked to his face.
he just hums in response.
thankfully, the two of you manage to finish the lab in less than two hours, and you note with a decent amount of satisfaction that there’s at least five other groups still working. you scribble your name at the top of your lab report, before trading to fill in your name on his sheet.
you glance over at his name.
kang yeosang, it reads. his handwriting is neat and thin.
“uh, so see you next week?” he says, as you exit the classroom together.
“yeah,” you say.
⋆⋆⋆
it takes fifteen minutes for the two of you to find the study room, which cuts into the two hours you’d reserved the room for. you’ve worked up a sweat while frantically walking around the third floor of the library, from both embarrassment and the presence of yeosang, who hovers over your shoulder as you lead him on a wild goose chase. you finally unlock the room and walk inside, only to be met with a whiteboard covered in phallic drawings and a questionable stain on the chair you happen to choose.
while you wrinkle your nose at the stain and tug on the hem of your shorts so that you can avoid any direct skin contact with it, yeosang settles into his chair and begins taking out his laptop and notebook.
“how many problems did you get done?” you ask, mirroring his actions with your own things.
“bold of you to assume i started,” he says without a note of shame. he lays out his notebook and pen and calculator and looks up at you expectantly.
“yeo-sang,” you say. “it’s due tomorrow!”
“tomorrow at 11:59 pm,” he says. “that means i have all of tonight and all of tomorrow.” he pauses while you finish pulling up the assignment on your browser. “and i have you to help me.” he smiles at you smugly.
“bold of you to assume i’ll help you,” you retort.
he pouts, which creates an interesting contrast against his strong, muscly college-athlete figure.
“at least try every problem before i give you the answer,” you mumble, because you could never refuse kang yeosang. you cross your arms across your chest, but yeosang is smiling again. “you know if you don’t actually do the homework you’re not going to do well on the exams.”
yeosang hums in response, and you sigh.
over the next half hour, you walk him through the first few problems that you’d managed to finish relatively easily. he honestly picks up material faster than you give him credit for, and he’s never shy to ask even the dumbest questions. as you draw out a free body diagram to explain a question on potential vs. kinetic energy, a shiver runs through your spine. while the blasting ac had been welcome at first, you’ve always been sensitive to the cold, and your body is starting to reject the cool breeze. you can feel goosebumps on your arms, and your legs shake slightly.
of course yeosang notices.
“are you cold?” he asks.
“it’s one of my things,” you say, teeth chattering and waving a hand to brush his concern away. “i’m always cold and i cry at everything.”
“i’ve never seen you cry,” he says.
“hmm,” you say. “i cried during the midterm.”
he narrows his eyes. “you got an 84.”
“i thought i failed!” you say. “anyway.” you turn back to the diagram, adding extra arrows and labels. “so do you see how the potential energy becomes―”
“here.” yeosang shoves something at you, navy blue and soft. you blink at it until he unfurls it for you. it’s a hoodie. an official university athletics branded hoodie.
“i’m fine!” you say, and with the rush of heat in your face from kang yeosang offering you a jacket, you honestly don’t feel the chill anymore.
“it probably smells kinda bad but―here, take it. you’re shivering.” a light pink dusts his cheeks, and he avoids your gaze. to save him the embarrassment, you take the hoodie from him. you stare at it in your hands, before finally pulling it over your head.
it’s so soft and warm, and you almost immediately feel your body temperature evening out.
“thanks,” you say softly, burrowing into the neck of the hoodie. it does smell a little interesting―cologne and aftershave trying their hardest to mask the smell of sweat. but you don’t mind, because it smells like yeosang.
“not a big deal,” he mutters.
the two of you keep working on the homework for the next hour, and you manage to finish 13 out of the 15 questions. the last two are the hardest and longest, and it’s already nearing the end of your reservation for the study room.
yeosang yawns and rubs the heel of his palm into his eye.
“i can ask ryujin for help,” you say, knowing that yeosang’s strict athlete’s schedule means he should already be in bed by now. “and we can work on the last two problems tomorrow?”
“sounds good,” yeosang says. “i’m so tired.”
you pack up in silence. the two of you manage to find the elevators without much hassle, and the ride is likewise quiet, punctuated by yeosang’s occasional yawns. you stare at your hazy reflections in the elevator doors, eyes running over how his hoodie sits on your figure. you hate how much you like it.
you return the key for the study room to the front desk, and you walk out of the library together.
“i’m heading this way,” you say, gesturing in the opposite direction of the parking lot. “gotta meet up with ryujin to get that help.”
“thanks, again,” yeosang says. “i owe you.”
“good night, yeosang,” you say.
“see you tomorrow!” he calls, yawning again and turning to trudge away to his car.
he doesn’t ask for the hoodie back, and you nestle into it even thought it’s warm outside.
later, while you brush your teeth, sleeplily getting ready for bed, you catch a glimpse of white text in the mirror and you contort yourself to read the back of the hoodie. in thick square text is his last name kang and his number 8. you flush, realizing that you’re not only wearing his hoodie, you’re wearing his name and number.
⋆⋆⋆
you brush pale green crumbs off of your practice exam, scowling at yeosang seated next to you, munching contently on a stick of matcha pocky.
“stop making such a mess!” you complain, sending your shoulder into his to give you some space while you read over the last free response question.
“i don’t get this at all,” he says, peering at the question too. “i’m totally gonna fail this midterm.” he groans and drapes himself over the back of his chair, letting his head hang back dramatically in despair.
“with that attitude, yeah,” you say. you rummage with the foil packet of pocky, finding it disappointingly empty. “did you seriously finish all of the pocky? that was my last bag!”
his head swings back up to give you a sheepish grin.
“you owe me,” you mutter, reaching over the desk to swipe his still unfinished bottle of calpico. he doesn’t fight you, but watches quietly as you unscrew the cap and take a deep drink of the thing.
“there,” you say. “we’re even. actually―”
you tilt your head back and raise the calpico to your lips, draining the bottle.
“there,” you say, slamming the now empty bottle onto your notebook with a satisfying plastic crunch. “now we’re even.”
“you didn’t waterfall,” yeosang chooses to comment. you whip around to stare at him.
“so what? do you have cooties?”
he hums instead and tugs the practice exam out from under your hand.
“so you’re totally gonna have to walk me through this whole problem.”
the sun sets, and the natural light seeping in from your large windows fades from white to orange to red to nothing. in the thirty minutes since the room has plunged into semi-darkness, neither of you have gotten up to turn on your ceiling light. instead the two of you sit crouched over your desk, illuminated by your desk light and the rotating rainbow colors from the LED lights that wrap around your walls.
“i’m going to fall asleep,” yeosang finally announces, throwing down his pen and collapsing over the desk, eyes shutting and forehead thumping against the wood.
“we still have three practice problems!” you say, nudging at his shoulder. it’s surprisingly taut under your finger, and you flush thinking about the amount of muscle packed into his body.
“i’m too tired,” he whines, muffled.
you consider his statement.
“why don’t you take a power nap?” you suggest. “chaeyoung does it all the time. she takes, like, fifteen minute power naps and feels loads better and just keeps studying.”
yeosang perches his chin on the desktop, peering at you through half-lidded eyes.
“how does that even work?” he says. “i don’t think fifteen minutes is enough.”
you shrug.
“she sent me an article once.” you begin pushing him towards your bed. “i think there’s science behind it. just―nap. i’ll finish the problem we’re on and then we can switch for the next one.”
it’s a testament to his fatigue that you’re able to maneuver him out of his chair and onto the bed behind you. you think vaguely of a different context for you to be pushing him onto your bed, but you dismiss those thoughts quickly. your biggest concern right now is making it through this practice exam, especially when one of your friends had mentioned how much the professors like to reuse old exam questions. and you aren’t going to do it alone. after you’d helped yeosang through the last five homework assignements, he’d promised that he’d work through the practice exams with you, and you aren’t about to let him flake on you when it’s only 11:30 pm.
“fifteen minutes,” you say, setting the timer on your phone and showing it to him.
he’s already made himself at home on your bed, wrapping himself in your soft blanket and grabbing your favorite cat plush to sandwich between his arms.
“don’t squeeze her like that,” you complain.
“shhh,” he says. “don’t make me waste my fifteen minutes.”
you huff, but you drop it, heading back to your desk to decipher the question you’d left half-finished.
five minutes later, yeosang’s soft snores are the soundtrack to your struggles through the next problem. you’re tempted to check the answer key, but after preaching to yeosang the consequences of just looking up answers without doing the work, you’re caught in your own high standards.
eventually, your phone chimes to indicate that fifteen minutes are up. you swivel around in your chair, intent on tormenting yeosang but you find him still sound asleep, snuggled deeper into your bed. he’s tucked your plushie under his chin, his grip looser around the stuffed animal’s round body. vaguely, you think you might be a little jealous of that inanimate object.
you’re so fucked, you think numbly, evaluating the situation.
you have a midterm in two days, and a slumbering hot athlete in your bed.
why on earth did you think convincing yeosang to take a nap in your bed would be a good idea?
you shut off the alarm when it becomes clear that nothing will rouse yeosang from his slumber. you figure he needs his sleep, and you’ll wake him up when you finish the practice exam.
an hour later, yeosang’s still sound asleep and at the rate your yawns keep increasing in frequency and length, you’re heading in the same direction.
you’ve managed to finish two out of the last three questions, but the final problem is so convoluted and scary that you betray your own principles to just copy off of the answer key.
you clean up your desk and shut off the desk light, shuffling towards your bed. you poke and prod and whine at yeosang to wake him up.
“yeosang,” you say, focusing your attacks on his shoulders. it’s the one area of his body you allow yourself to touch. anywhere lower and you think that you’ll be picturing exactly what is beneath your hand, and anywhere near his face will make you want to kiss him stupid.
“yeosang. yeosang. yeosang,” you chant. “wake. up. stupid.”
he finally stirs, shifting onto his back and exposing a small circle of darkened fabric on the pillow case where his mouth had been seconds before.
“you drooled on my pillow!” you shriek.
“shhh,” he mumbles. “i’m sleeping.” his voice is deeper, shrouded in sleep, and oh, it sends a tingle down your spine.
“no!” you say. “you’re leaving. go home. i finished the practice exam so i’ll just go over it with you tomorrow. you owe me big time.”
“but it’s so comfy,” he says, his eyes still shut and voice still husky. “my bed isn’t this nice.”
“it’s memory foam,” you mutter.
“mmm,” he says, and then suddenly you feel a hand, a large and warm hand wrapping around your waist and tugging you down. you tumble onto yeosang, face positively on fire as your hands go out to catch yourself and oh―
your cheek is pressed up against his chest―his very firm chest―and your hands are grazing the sides of his equally firm abdomen.
“hm this is nice,” he says, the arm around your waist tightening. you feel his chin brush against the crown of your head.
“go home, yeosang,” you say, but without any of the conviction you’d had before. you’re cuddled up against your insanely attractive crush, and even you understand the need to take advantage of situations handed to you on a platter.
“nah,” he says. “too tired to move.”
you laugh quietly into his body.
“at least let me get under the covers.”
⋆⋆⋆
he confesses under the illumination of the numerous string lights strung along the porch of your favorite burger joint. it’s a chilly december night, and yet you’d been craving a birthday cake milkshake, and like always, yeosang had obliged.
“you know i like you, right?” he says, licking at the bit of pink shake dripping over the edge of his cup.
you freeze, quite literally, since you have always been sensitive to the cold. the milkshake hits your head in a splitting brain freeze, just as a particularly strong breeze ruffles through your hair.
“huh?” you manage.
“i like you,” yeosang continues, casually. he’s taken off the plastic cover of his shake and he’s digging at the shake with a spoon. “i feel like i’ve been pretty obvious about it, but i figured it was about time i confess for real.” he takes a spoonful of his strawberry shake into his mouth, savors it and then swallows. “especially since you’re going home soon so i won’t be able to see you in person for, like, a month.”
he hums around another spoonful of milkshake, while you nearly drop yours in surprise. your mind moves in fast forward until suddenly it cuts to complete emptiness. you stare at yeosang, mouth agape and head absolutely empty, no thoughts.
“what?” you shriek.
this causes an actual reaction in him. he jumps a little and turns to you, eyes slightly wider and spoon hanging out of his mouth.
“you like me?” you say, voice shrill.
“yeah,” he says, a little incredulously. “i thought you knew?”
“i- you- you thought i knew?” you say.
“it was obvious?” yeosang says.
“how was it obvious?” you ask.
“i dunno,” he says. “like i gave you my hoodie. isn’t that a thing boyfriends do? and i tease you all the time? and i slept over. we cuddled.”
“that- it- it wasn’t- it was purely platonic!” you hiss, ripping off your thick scarf so the cold can combat the warmth spreading from your cheeks to your forehead.
“oh,” he says. “so does that mean you don’t like me back?” he peers at you, almost void of emotion, still sucking on that stupid spoon.
“what makes you think that?” you say, breathless now.
“you said the cuddling was platonic,” he says.
“that’s- that’s because i didn’t know how you felt,” you say.
“and now you do,” he says.
“and now i do,” you parrot.
“and?” he prods.
“and―” you gulp. “―and i like you, too.”
“hmm,” he hums. “good.” he’s smiling now, this stupid shit-eating grin that you’ve only ever seen a handful of times. yeosang’s not one for big expressions, but this―
this is how you know he’s not joking with you.
“good?” you repeat faintly.
“yeah,” he says, setting down his milkshake and spoon onto the table. “so, can i be your boyfriend?”
“boyfriend?” you say.
“i thought i was the dumb one in this relationship,” he says.
“relationship?”
“seriously?” he sighs. “alright, how about this.”
he surges forward then, hands cupping your jaw. his lips slot over yours and suddenly you’re kissing kang yeosang. closed mouth, but substantial, and oh his lips are so soft.
yeosang pulls back, but his hands stay on your face, thumbs rubbing circles into your cold and slightly numb cheeks.
“oh,” you say.
“yeah,” he laughs. “you get it now?”
“yeah,” you say. “yeah―you can be my boyfriend.”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ it-girl school tips ᝰ.ᐟ



a new semester is around the corner for a lot of us, and i’m seeing so many blog posts about study/school tips, and i thought i’d share a few of my own that i’ve began to implement into my own school routine that helped me succeed during the fall semester!
just to preface: i took 2, almost 3, gap years after my first year at a university. i realized i was so burnt out after high school and my mental health wasn’t where i needed it to be, so i took a very much needed break! i started back up in school earlier last year in the spring, and i am flourishing! i’ve reconnected with my love and passion for my education and i’ve eased myself back into a comfortable, but effective, routine that’s helped me succeed!
let’s begin !!
ᝰ.ᐟ find/create a good study environment
having a cozy, comfortable, and nice place to get your studying done will make your sessions so much more enjoyable! you’ll feel more motivated to get work done in a space that you feel good in! so whether it be your own space, your favorite café, or even your school’s library, having a good environment to focus on your schoolwork will increase your productivity and make you feel good about studying!
a darling mutual of mine created this post that has helpful tips on creating your desired study space - @glowettee ♡︎ i also highly recommend her page for other tips related to studying, personal growth, & just becoming that girl!
ᝰ.ᐟ make use of a planner
planners are essential in maintaining organization throughout the semester/school year! whether it’s a digital or physical planner, find one that’s appealing to you! find a planner that suits your aesthetic, or your desired aesthetic, and make good use of it. it’ll help you keep track of what days & times you have a certain class, important due dates, and planning out your homework schedule!
if you have a pretty plain planner, decorate it! use fun or aesthetically pleasing stickers and use fun colored pens & highlighters; just make it super personable to you!
ᝰ.ᐟ organize, organize, organize
make sure any and all paperwork for all of your courses are organized! i personally love using accordion folders because they have tabs that you can label for each class or each week of a class! having some kind of organization method will keep you and your schoolwork in check!
how to maintain organization:
as your semester progresses, it gets pretty easy to let your organization slip through the cracks and turn into a mess.
create an organized binder to store older papers from your courses! this will be useful when midterms or finals come around and you need to look back at old worksheets, handouts, etc. you can have a big binder that’s divided by different tabs dedicated to each class you’re taking or you can get different binders for each class and organize that way!
throw out anything that no longer serves you! amongst all the papers, notes, packets, there’s bound to be things that you will no longer need. toss them out, shred them, just get rid of them! the more papers you have stocked up in folders or binders, the less room you’ll have to keep track of the real important stuff
track each week of the semester! keep that syllabus handy so you can keep track of what’s going on for each week in your classes. when you reach the point of midterms, a long weekend, or even a break (like spring break) find some time to look at the past weeks & the weeks ahead and reorganize and just reset your organization of papers, notes, etc.
ᝰ.ᐟ create a checklist for your assignments
as your classes pile up, so will your homework, and it starts to get overwhelming when you start thinking about everything you have to complete for the week. creating a checklist for what needs to get done will allow you to prioritize the most important assignments, help you practice time management, and also feel satisfaction as you check off each assignment!
this helped me immensely throughout the semester. majority of my classes were 8 week courses, so everything was pretty fast paced and due dates came up a lot sooner than i thought. whenever i made a checklist for everything i needed to do, it eased a lot of my stress because i allowed myself to break down each class and the corresponding assignments & it made me realize that i didn’t have too much to do (or at least i tricked my brain into thinking that)
i made my checklist literally through my notes app on my phone, and it was so satisfying to add the little green checkmark emoji after each assignment!



ᝰ.ᐟ don’t be afraid to ask questions
any time i struggled in a class and i was too afraid/embarrassed to ask a question, i ended up doing poorly in that class and it made studying and completing assignments so much more challenging for me. so don’t be afraid to ask questions! your teachers/professors/instructors are there to help you! they’re there to answer any and all questions you might have! asking questions also just helps you understand the material better and get any clarification you might need!
the more questions you ask, the better informed you are, and the more likely you’ll succeed!
ᝰ.ᐟ use school supplies you love
having those aesthetically pleasing school supplies actually gave me so much more motivation to get work done! using stuff that you’re excited to use during your semester will make doing schoolwork & studying so much more enjoyable for you!
ᝰ.ᐟ set the mood for your study sessions
listen to a good study playlist, light a candle, set up some cozy lighting, grab your favorite drink, and just set a good, calming mood for yourself while you study! i love having lofi play softly in the background while i’m studying, and since i do most of my studying at home, i make the lighting in my room nice and dim and get my desk lamp set up. i’ll also have a cup of coffee, tea, or water near by that i can sip on!
ᝰ.ᐟ take breaks
burn-out is extremely real and you’ll quickly feel it when you spend majority of your time studying and giving yourself way less time to rest and relax.
for longer study sessions, take 20 min. breaks after each hour! i remember taking an english course when i first started college and one of the books we were required to read was one on studying tips! (i really wish i remembered what it was called, i unfortunately misplaced it) one of the things i remembered from that book was the 20 minute rule. this time slot allows you an ample amount of time to rest your mind and take a break! you can rest your eyes, scroll through your phone, stand up/stretch and grab a snack, or just step away from your study area for 20 minutes!
set a timer! let’s say you wanna work on homework for an hour & a half, set a timer and just do all the work that you can within that time. once your timer goes off, stop doing what you’re doing and set another timer with the same amount of time to go do something you enjoy or get yourself to relax!
i can’t stress this enough: please take breaks. your mental/emotional well-being should always be your top priority! you can’t do your best in school if you, yourself, are not doing the best.
𝜗𝜚 final notes 𝜗𝜚
being that girl in school is only possible when you put your best foot forward. stay on top of your self care, keep yourself organized, and come up with a routine! a good routine will get you great results!
i wish you all a great start of your upcoming semester and i know that every single one of you will flourish during it too!
live and love, babe.
sincerely, juno ⭑.ᐟ

Steps to Write 1K Words a Day (with a tight schedule)
follow for more tips 💋 || request writing tips 💌
1. Establish the Foundation
Know Your Why: Clarify your reason for writing daily by finishing a novel, building discipline, therapeutic expression, etc. Purpose keeps you going when time is tight.
Pick a Project & Stick With It: Avoid hopping between too many ideas. Commit to one main project to prevent decision fatigue.
Set a Realistic Timeframe: Determine how much daily time you actually have. Even 30 minutes can be enough with focus.
2. Shape the Writing Routine
Set a Daily Writing Slot: Choose the same 20-60-minute window each day, e.g., early morning, lunch break, and right before bed. Consistency beats chaos.
Break It into Sprints: Divide writing time into 2-3 focused sprints (10–20 minutes each) with mini-goals (e.g., 300 words per sprint).
Use Micro-Moments Wisely: Jot down scenes, lines, or dialogue in short bursts during downtime, e.g., commutes and between classes.
3. Build a Writing Habit
Create a Ritual: Start with a cue (tea, playlist, app launch), write, and end with a reward. Conditioning helps it stick.
Track Your Progress: Use a word count tracker, habit app, or physical calendar to visualize your momentum.
Aim for “Done,” Not “Perfect”: Don’t revise mid-draft. Keep the focus on finishing today’s 1,000 words, not editing yesterday’s.
4. Define Your Writing Environment
Eliminate Distractions: Silence notifications, close tabs, and let others know you’re “off the grid” during your writing window.
Use Tools That Work for You: Whether it's Google Docs, Scrivener, Word, or a distraction-free app (like FocusWriter), pick what helps you stay in flow.
Keep Materials Nearby: Outlines, scene notes, character sheets. Have them within reach to avoid losing time to memory gaps.
5. Develop Content Efficiently
Outline Briefly Before Writing: Know the scene’s goal, characters involved, and 1–2 key beats. This cuts down time spent thinking mid-writing.
Use Prompts or Templates: If stuck, use writing prompts or scene formulas (e.g., conflict ↣ tension ↣ resolution) to keep moving forward.
Lower the Stakes for First Drafts: Treat your draft as clay, not marble. Write fast, revise later.
6. Reward Yourself Consistently
Use Immediate Micro-Rewards: After each sprint, give yourself a small treat: a stretch, snack, meme scroll, or a favorite song.
Build End-of-Day Rituals: After hitting 1K, reward yourself with a guilt-free indulgence:
- A hot drink
- 30 minutes of gaming
- A mini-episode of your comfort show
- Reading time
Track for Bigger Rewards: Hit a streak (5 days? 2 weeks?) and treat yourself to something bigger: new notebook, movie night, favorite meal.
Celebrate Wins, Big or Small: Even if you only wrote 300 words, that’s progress. Celebrate effort, not just perfection.
7. Develop a Sustainable Arc
Adjust as Needed: If 1,000 words becomes overwhelming, drop to 500 and scale up again. It's better to be consistent than burned out.
Build in Break Days: Choose 1-2 buffer days per week for rest or catch-up. Remember, your brain needs recharge time.
Reflect Monthly: Look back on what worked, what didn’t, and what to change. Writing daily is a living habit, not a static rule.
Tools That Can Help
Timers: Pomodoro apps (e.g., Focus Keeper, Forest)
Trackers: Pacemaker Planner, WriteTrack
Writing Tools: 4theWords (gamified), Google Docs offline, Scrivener
Voice-to-Text Options: Google Voice Typing, Otter.ai
Examples of People with Tight Schedules Who Write Daily
Octavia Butler: Wrote early each morning before work. Do what she said, “Persist.”
Brandon Sanderson: Wrote in sprints between teaching and family time.
Toni Morrison: Wrote after her children went to sleep, hence treating every moment as sacred.
You (Eventually): With the right systems, even the busiest writer can find their rhythm.

#𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
This is how we are NOT going to wait until the new year (or a new whatever) to be the best version of ourselves, we are going to change now.
When you want to change, change. Don't wait for anything.
There are about 100 days until the new year. That is 3 months. You can get so much done within that timeframe.
But with the "new year" aside, please know that there is absolutely no rush to improve. It can be July and you can still decide to "reinvent" yourself. This is just a fun thing to do and keep track of.
Not a "challenge" but a way to stay accountable for your goals for a better you.
୨୧ Here is how we are going to absolutely kill it!
1. Pick a number of goals (3-4, both small and large) for every aspect of your life.
Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, professional, personal.
Physical: 10k steps a day, working on being sober, moving your body around more, getting into bed earlier, reducing screen time, cooking healthier meals, brushing your hair, wearing the nice clothes you're saving for a "special occasion", trying out new looks and clothes, venturing out new styles, upgrading your basic hygiene routine, celibacy, drink more water
Mental: writing down your thoughts, keeping track of your emotions both negative and positive and what triggers them. Get rid of the negative triggers and bring in more of the positive triggers.
Emotional: getting in touch with a therapist, dedicating a journal to release you emotions instead of bottling them in, talking to friends, anger management
Professional: working 1 hour or more of deep work to improve your skills, networking events
Personal: find your old hobbies, discover new ones, pleaseee get a hobby. seriously! trying out new restaurants and cafes, complimenting people and be open to making new friends.
Spiritual: meditation, prayers to yourself or religion you are a part of, nature/solitude walks. These are super important, it brings you peace of mind and a time to really be with yourself and be at peace after your jam packed days
Finance: learn how to budget, no impulse spending, learn how to invest, find a way to increase your income
Important habits to have: waking up and going to bed early, planning your next day, having a set routine and freedom to change it to fit your priorities
Important skills to build: time management and how to focus better
These are just some ideas and I know looking at this list can be overwhelming so you need to remember and understand that you are not going to be doing every single one of these every single day. You are going to pick a few from each category (and seriously, if you think about it, I discuss this in the next section about time blocking, it really does not take a lot of time. Trust me.) and include them into your daily routine.
2. Setting up reasonable time blocks for these goals. Revamp your schedule to fit your goals around your life.
Getting up early is how you get more done in a day. Yes, you can reach your goals even with a full time job.
I work almost 12 hour shifts every week day while taking care of kids, my dog, basically running a household and I still get so much done.
So you've picked your goals. Great. Now take a look at your schedule and figure out what things are taking up most of your time. Is it a long commute? Spending too much time scrolling on your phone? Waking up late? Going to bed late?
Example of time blocking/a schedule:
☆ Mornings:
4am-5am: exercise, pray/meditate
5am-7am: study
8am-4pm: get ready for the day and go to work.
during your work break, you can read a book, get steps in, meditate, have a nice meal.
☆ Evenings:
4pm-5pm: get back from work, eat, catch up with family or have alone time
5pm-7pm: review any notes, clean, meal prep, attend a class you may have, do laundry
7pm-9pm: plan the next day if you have appointment or deadlines, shower, go to bed
Assess how you spend your time and utilize it. Instead of scrolling on your phone during your free time, spend time with your loved ones (pets, kids, partner), instead of staying in one place while you're on a call, walk around to get steps in, there is always a way to implement your goals into your daily life.
Notice how I say fit your goals around your life. You don't want to be taking away important things like errands, jobs, school, being a parent just meet your goals- no. Use your time wisely. That's all. You can fit them.
On the larger goals like taking up a class/large skill, like dancing and painting. On fridays, you'll have dance class and on other days that you have free, you'll be painting a piece or reading your anticipated book, learning a language, trying out a new recipe, planning the next day, taking a spontaneous art class, etc!
Weekends.
Because I work a lot, I like to use weekends to really do deep work. Intensive study sessions. And because I deep work (work with no distractions) I don't need to study all day. I'm getting so much done in little time that I'll be done by the afternoon and I can go out and do errands, get all dressed up and have a nice day out in the city, or just have a relaxing day by doing chores, watching a nice movie and more!
3. Setting up a system so you can actually stick to those goals.
Keep a journal to keep track of what you did today. If you didn't reach a goal that day (and that's okay), ask yourself why? and how does it make you feel? Then take action on what you can do to reach it tomorrow.
Switching. We all know it’s best to not push yourself so hard. For example, don’t do intense exercise everyday. Walking and dancing throughout the day counts as exercise too, so by switching (depending on YOUR goals), you’ll have time for your other goals as well. Here is an example: on a rest day of no exercising, maybe that day is the night I have a ballet class. That is exercise as well. So instead of exercising in the very early hours of my day, I can use that time instead to do more studying OR have more time doing something else.
which means I can do one do the following: spend more time with my pet, read a few pages of my book, make a new recipe, etc.
Ex. 4am-5am - on a no-exercise day, i can study during that time instead. 6am-7am - more time to tackle my other goals.
Create a foundation. If you have an amazing day, felt very productive and accomplished, what's a habit that really helped? For me, it's always getting up early. If I wake up late because I slept late or my alarm didn't go off, my day is thrown off by a landslide. So if you had an off day, figure out why and maybe your foundation can help.
★ That’s all!
If you have questions or need an example to jump off from, click below to read more on how I personally did my reset and how I am still able to get much more done with a full time job.
Stay safe, prospering, and amazing!
Share your accountability posts with the tag #100DaysWithDDD or we can chat through my inbox if you need extra tips, questions or want to share how you're doing/did.
I will be logging my days too, you can find my goals here.



Welcome, welcome!
Here is an example of what I did when I did my reset and still doing now with working.
I chose my goals. I was studying deeply, spending more time with my dog who I felt bad would be bored during my study hours, be more active, get through my books.
How did I start? First of all I got up earlier and went to bed earlier. I noticed that I focus better in the mornings so I would stretch, workout and started studying. Next, I would get ready (nice clothes, my face is clear, hair is brushed), take my dog out, play with him, etc and head to work. See? I already tackled so many of my goals there! Physical, personal, and professional.
Want to get more books in, want to meditate, want to journal? Listen to an audiobook or podcast while you drive, commute, or have a lunch break at school or work. Or don't. Sit in silence and let your mind wander, let those unconscious ideas come up! That's also a form of meditation and having more creative skills.
During my study breaks, I would stretch, walk my dog. Another break, I catch up with the kids, do any short tasks like laundry, mini tidying up. Any break, at all I would do micro-task.
I stopped doing useless things like spending so much time on my phone for what? If I was truly bored, I had done all my tasks but I didn't feel like getting up or doing anything, I would go on my phone... to clean out apps and my camera roll (which has A LOT of things on it I still need to get through). That's the only time I would go on my phone really. The lack of storage on my phone makes it lag- I'm heavily scolding my past hoarder self for keeping so many photos on there
If you work a desk job, get up for phone calls, take laps when there is nothing to do, just get your body moving! Stretch! There is always something to do, you just have to know how and what.

Fandom: LaDS Pairing: Caleb x afab!reader with tattoos
Tags: Semi-public sex, light exhibitionism, dom-sub dynamics, use of “jiejie” as an honorific, cumplay, squirting, degrading-praises kink. MDNI 18+
Synopsis: The time you needed Caleb to be the “fake boyfriend” and you realized that there was more truth to those feelings.
WC: 3.5k
A/n: Heavily inspired by the photo in the banner and ‘Drive’ by Bang Chan and Lee Know (Stray Kids). For @unintentionalseductress and @laddelulu30 for encouraging me.
🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · 🙦
You told Albert multiple times that you weren’t interested, yet ‘no’ was not an answer to him. Red flag number one. Red flag number two, came in the form of him memorizing your class schedule, and coincidentally showing up in all the same places you were. It didn’t take long for Caleb to step in when he heard about red flag number two. Not that the first hadn’t bothered him, but like all those other little infatuations that tried to grab your attention throughout your life, he had thought that his presence alone would be enough to deter that annoying, know-it-all classmate of yours.
“He’s deluded himself into thinking we’ve got some sort of study-rivalry-turned-lovers romance thing going on and we don’t.” The frustration in your voice was what truly did it for Caleb. Frankly, it had taken him actually leaving for college and joining the DAA for him to trust your ability in taking care of yourself – both physically and emotionally…this time, the break in your voice suggested that you were at your rope’s end with the guy.
“Ah, don’t worry about it pip-squeak,” The warmth in his voice made you smile even if it was somewhat reluctant. “I’ve got it. How about I visit you this weekend hmm? I can pick you up after classes and have dinner together. We could make a day trip to visit Gran too the next day.”
He knew that you weren’t going to turn the offer down, not when on the very same call you’d just been complaining about another failed chicken dish.
“Can’t I just live on baked foods for the rest of my life?” You sighed. “No, you can’t. How do you expect to keep up with any of your Hunter training if you don’t have the right diet and have an active lifestyle?” Caleb asked. “Now, stop arguing with me. I’ll see you Friday afternoon, ‘kay?”
There was a heavy sigh from your end of the line. “I’ll see you then.”
It was a voice call but he could hear the smile in your voice when you said your goodbyes.
🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · 🙦
Friday couldn’t come along fast enough, in your opinion. In that time frame, Albert had taken it as his responsibility to walk you to and from any lectures in the main academic building, and quickly volunteer himself as a partner during the physical regiments of your training. You were hoping that Caleb’s presence would put an end to things, it had always worked before. The irony of needing Caleb’s help this time didn’t escape you.
[Where are you? A showed up with flowers today. I tried to decline them but he insisted that they’ll be good for my mental health] It could’ve been considered a sweet gesture, if Albert hadn’t in the same breath also insulted your taste in podcasts, forcing you to write down several recommendations of his, all of which surprise, surprise, surround the current political climate in Linkon.
A double blue tick – your fingers flew over the phone screen – the sheer audacity that Caleb would keep you on read. You kept a pointed look on your phone so you wouldn’t accidentally catch Albert’s eyes. You didn’t need to give the King of Misinterpreting Your Looks an opening.
[Are you REALLY ignoring me right now? You know you can use voice-to-text if you’re driving, right?]
It was only a few seconds before the message was read.
“I know thaaat, but it wouldn’t be the same if I announced my arrival instead of just showing up.” A familiar voice broke your concentration, shoulders relaxing when you see Caleb’s car pull alongside you.
“Caleb!”
His eyes crinkled as he chuckled. This. This is what he wanted. To see your face light up when you saw him behind the wheel.
“Happy to see you too, pip-squeak. C’mon, jump in. I drove in from Skyhaven and–”
“Hey, Y/n.”
Caleb’s eyes narrowed at the bespectacled man that’d been hovering by you this entire time. His arms were folded over his chest and Albert threw him a glance at you, “Who’s this?”
Before you could reply, Caleb tilted his head, staring over the top of his dark aviators,with the most charming smile tugging on his lips, “Ah, I’m not surprised she hasn’t gotten around to telling people yet. I’m Caleb, her boyfriend-”
You didn’t know which was more satisfying to look at, Caleb’s smug smirk or the gobsmacked look of shock on Albert’s face.
“Boyfriend?” He echoed.
“Boyfriend.” Caleb nodded, his tone firm. “We’ve always always had a history though, haven’t we pip-squeak? Things are just finally official. Now if you’ll excuse us.” Caleb jerked his head towards the passenger seat, his eyes trained on you as a silent gesture to get in.
At this point in your lives, it felt like you and Caleb knew each other’s tells like the back of your own hands.
“Erm, yeah. I’ll see you tomorrow, Albert.” You start towards the passenger door Caleb had reached over the console to open for you from the inside.
“Wait.” Albert called out, forcing you to pause with your hand on the semi-opened door.
“Yes?”
“We have that thing tonight.” He started.
“Thing? What thing?” You asked.
“Some of our classmates are getting together for drinks after dinner tonight. Remember? You said you’d come.” Albert reminded you.
“Oh well, I guess we’re going to have to do a raincheck. I wasn’t expecting Caleb to–”
“We’ll be there.” Caleb interrupted you with an easy smile.
You paused, shooting Caleb a hopefully discreet look of apprehension. The fuck was this man playing it?
“We will?” “Suuuure. Why not? Just text the details to pips, okay?” Caleb smirked at the dumbfounded look on Albert’s face and then directed his gaze to you. “C’mon get in, we’re holding up traffic.”
Sure enough, there was a line of cars starting to form behind Caleb’s running car.
“Oh, uh, yeah. I guess. I’ll see you both there.” Albert stammered, watching you jump into Caleb’s car.
“See you later, Albert!” Caleb gave him a cheery wave as you closed the door behind you.
“I- uh, yeah, sure. I suppose..yeah.” Albert rubbed the back of his neck. “I’ll see uh- you both later then.”
Caleb was already raising his window before pulling the car out of park.
🙤 · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · 🙦
Hindsight really is 20/20. You should’ve known when you tasked Caleb with this ‘job’, that he would take it to the next level and when he started rummaging through your closet for the ‘perfect couple’s outfit’, you should’ve insisted you stayed home.
But here you were, in the middle of a noisy dance bar that your classmates insisted was the new ‘in place’ to be seen at, too loud music blasting through the unseen speakers and LED lights and lasers bouncing, reflecting and refracting over the crowd’s heads and glasses in their hands or tables. Albert was there, of course he was, and somehow the ‘group of classmates’ that he’d had talked about earlier had grown, as if word had gotten out that you have someone visiting. Your boyfriend is in town.
Caleb basked in the attention, answering questions from your curious classmates, chuckling each time someone insinuated you were a liar with the whole ‘mystery man’ routine.
“We grew up together. You realize after a while that sometimes what you need has been there all along.” Caleb answered with such ease, that it actually made you look up from your apple sangria. There was heat to his words, something that everyone in the loose circle around the two of you seemed to notice as well.
“Ah, well, we should leave the happy couple alone now, shouldn’t we?” Ronnie suggested, she was one of the few classmates that you somewhat knew.
“Oh no, what? You don’t have to leave-” You stammered, fingers clutching the stem of your glass tighter. Caleb stopped you mid-sentence, plucking the drink from your hand and setting it on the table that you and your classmates were gathered by, “When was the last time you danced?” He asked, with a firm grip on your now free hand. His eyes gleamed a deep sparkling plum under the strobe lights. There was no way you were turning down those eyes that looked like he would pick the stars from the night sky for you right here, right now if you simply asked him to.
“I’ve gotten better.” You told him, fingers intertwining as you both joined the semi-crowded dance floor. You weren’t a fan of crowds, and he knew that, creating an invisible forcefield with his evol, one so subtle that people weren’t bothered by it when they inevitably ran into it, finding themselves steered in another direction by a repelling gravitational force. But you could barely concentrate on the intricacies of Caleb using his evol in this manner, the question of wanting to ask where he’d learn such a trick dying on your lips when you felt his familiar grip start to wander along unfamiliar places. His palm that had first rested against your hip now slid to the small of your back, tips of his fingers brushing along the swell of your ass. Your chest is pressed against his, and you’re suddenly very aware of his heartbeats despite the deep thrumming from the bass-heavy music.
Caleb’s chuckle is close to your ear, breath brushing along the shell of it as he guides you around the dance floor, his other hand still firm on your hip. His fingers tightened when you accidentally stepped on his foot, but his smile remained curled on his lips.
“Remind me again how you’ve gotten ‘better’?” He teased.
“Oh shut up.” You pouted in return. “This is hardly–”
He didn’t let you finish your sentence, capturing your lips in a long awaited kiss. You tensed at first, your hand splayed over his chest to push him away on instinct but he stopped you by covering that very same hand with his. His thumb rubbed soothing patterns along the back of your hand while he pulled you closer, tongue already licking at the seam of your lips as if asking for permission.
While some small part of you argued that Caleb was going too far with this ‘bit’, that you’d never explicitly kissed when you’d done this very same favor for him. Yet you didn’t seem to have the ‘want’ to do that.
In fact, it almost seemed as if you needed this.
You tilted your head, giving him access to your mouth, your senses suddenly filled with a combination of apple sangria, and Caleb’s favorite cinnamon flavored gum. You realize then, that you want more. That the taste of this barely scratched the surface of what you actually wanted. You found your fingers tugging on the silver chain around his neck, your stomach clenching when you realize that he’d never taken the piece of jewelry off. The one constant that remained about him is the gift that you gave him.
“Let’s get out of here.” You mumbled into the kiss, “Please.”
His chuckle made your stomach twist, and in that same breath you realize that Caleb… your Caleb, is turning you on.
He’s got a grip on your hand as if worried someone would suddenly rip you away from him. You were out of the club before you knew it, the cool night air a sharp contrast to the heat between your legs, the thrumming of your heart in your chest, or the way the warmth seemed to increase in intensity in your entwined fingers as Caleb lead you to the the parking lot, past the lined crowd that were still trying to get into the club.
“Caleb…you’ve been drinking, you shouldn’t be driving…” You hesitated when he unlocked his car, deactivating the alarm.
“Oh I’m plannin’ on a different kind of drivin’ pip-squeak.” He mumbled, pulling the passenger seat forwards and gestured for you to climb into the backseat. Understanding dawned on you, and you couldn’t question it when you climbed in, your veins feeling like they were charged with electricity. Once your back is pressed against the leather seats, you pull Caleb in after you, tugging on his bomber jacket.
“Tell me to stop and I’ll stop…” His voice is husky, fingers tracing gently along your collarbone down your neck, watching how heat flushed across your chest. Caleb’s eyes widened when he saw something rather unfamiliar on your sternum: a tattoo. “Excuse me?” He breathed.
You tried to pull his hand away but his fingers already tugged at your dress’s sweetheart neckline revealing more of your chest to his view, eyes practically gleaming when the fabric is pulled away.
“Jiejie-” In that heated moment, you realize that the fluttering in your stomach was pure desire for him to see the rest of the tattoo. You wanted him to drink in the realism of the hydrangeas that were curled around the sword that ran down to your navel. “When did you–...why?” His voice was soft with curiosity, glassy-eyes making you wonder just how drunk he was, just how much of this would he remember in the morning?
You shrugged, “It’s my body. I didn’t think I needed to justify that?”
He smirked, “No. No, you don’t. But why a sword?”
“It’s the first weapon I learned in training.”
“And the hydrangeas?” He asked.
“You know why.” You answered. It was a beat. Two. Three. His lips were millimeters away from yours, “The store? Really?”
“No.” You laughed, your hands cupping his cheeks. “You. I wanted you near.”
“I’m always going to be near, pip-squeak. I’m not going anywhere.” Caleb responded, finally, finally closing that distance between the two of you.
-0-
You almost wanted to kick yourself for all the times you and Caleb could’ve been doing this when he first asked you to be his ‘girlfriend’ a few months ago. Now, you wanted to make up for lost time, and to your delight, it seemed that Caleb was on the same page as you. How you ended up between the seats, body stretched over the console in a position that you’d only read about in dark romantasy novels, the seatbelts from both driver and passenger seats working as your straps – wrapped around your wrists and keeping you in place.
“Caleb.” Your dress was just a flimsy memory that’d been pulled down and hiked up around your waist.
“Yes. I love how you say my name, Y/n,” he murmured, his fingers leaving prints in your flesh from his fierce grip. You moaned when he pulled out his cock from your poor, leaking pussy, his fingers expertly finding the bundle of nerves that had your knees shaking and hitting the backs of the seats. “-you don’t know how long I’ve fantasized about this.” Caleb growled, his other hand steadying himself with the headrest, eyes half-lidded with pleasure while he enjoyed the beautiful way your body arched for him in this position. The resonating sounds of your gasps, coupled with grunts and sighs were amplified in this enclosed space, steam misting the windows just barely.
“Oh fuck, that’s so fucking sexy…” He groaned, pupils almost black with lust when your hips stuttered, expelling another stream of your arousal mixed with his cum he’d unloaded the second – third? – time in you… watching the rivulets run along the leather console.
He dropped down to his knees, pushing on the back of your thighs so your knees were pressed into the back of the seats, his teeth leaving marks on your luscious ass, his fingers already gathering the slowly leaking cum, running it along your other set of lips.
“You’re wasting a lot here, pips…what’s the matter? Am I too much for you?” Caleb’s voice is hauntingly dark. “C’mon, let me stuff this back where it belongs.” He murmured with heat, shoving those very same fingers back into you, hissing softly when your velvet walls tightened involuntarily around his fingers.
“Mmffhh…should’ve known you were such a needy slut.” Caleb muttered, pretending his cock didn’t twitch from your whining when his fingers motioned in that steady, firm manner against that one spot that made you rut against him. You moved back against him, seatbelts cutting into your palms, groaning as his wonderfully magic fingers began to pull another orgasm from you.
“It’s really no wonder you’ve got these people lined up to fuck this greedy cunt, you just can’t get enough.” Caleb continued, minutely aware of the way your slick now slid along his wrist, his smile even more mischievous than before. He didn’t need to tell you about how he’d found your toys when he’d cleaned your room last summer before leaving for the academy, collecting all of his hoodies and t-shirts that’d ‘somehow’ ended up in your room.
“Someone is going to hear us or worse…see us.” You tried to gasp out but you aren’t exactly stopping your hips from grinding back into his hand. “Should’ve thought about that before.” He continued, adding a third finger that only made your silken walls tighten around him. “Fuck, still so tight…Guess I’m just going to have to take you home now so I can make this pussy gape for me.” There was such a silken, matter-of-fact manner to his tone, telling you that this wasn’t negotiable. It’s a promise.
You groaned when he pulled his hand away, tugging you back up by your hair, gentle enough not to hurt you but enough to cause that pleasurable sting against your scalp, like he’s scratching that particular itch in your mind.
“Open.” He demanded, pushing those same fingers that’d been in you just seconds before into your mouth, his eyes watching with the same intensity and concentration of when he’s in the cockpit of a fighter jet. His lips were parted in an unconscious effort to remind himself to breathe. But gods, you are gorgeous like this. Eyes wide with need, your tongue working furiously to clean his fingers, tasting both you and him on your senses now. His mind drifted to just how good it would feel to have the warmth of your mouth wrapped around another aching part of him.
“I can do this every day and night.” He admitted, enjoying the swirl of your tongue, his cock reawakening at the way you were watching him, you couldn’t get enough. And neither could he. His eyes focused on your drool glistening down the corners of your lips, how even though you knew it was biologically impossible, your tongue was still desperate to toy with his fingers as if they could actually give you that salty pleasure you were suddenly desperate to taste. How were you able to reduce him to this state?
“Fuck, okay, yeah, need you.” He pulled his hand free from your mouth. His name fell with an unconscious gasp, your body arching in desperate manner to get his cock deeper, as if the angle you already were in wasn’t deep enough.
“That’s it. Such a good girl, keep going like that.” You could feel the car begin to rock in time with the two of you, what was left of your demure decency thrown out the window. Your own pleasure builds quickly before you break out in a soft hiss, “Mmm..panting in my ear like this, were you always this desperate for my pussy, Jiejie?”
S M A C K. “Fuck. Fuck.” Caleb groaned feeling your pussy clamp down on him, his splayed fingers and heated palm still pressed against your ass while you both fell over the edge together. His name is a prayer on your lips, his fingers entangled in your hair while he pressed himself in a way that forced your body up.
-0-
Caleb pulled his car out of the parking lot, slowing down the vehicle when he noticed that group of your classmates outside of the club.
“Hey, you guys heading out already? We…missed you…in there.” Albert trailed off when Caleb rolled down the window, Albert’s eyes automatically drawn to the car’s interior. His fingers seemed to tighten on the door when his gaze was pulled to the gearshift. It was only then that you realized that your lace panties were thrown over it. Caleb smiled easily watching how Albert stepped away from the door as if he’d just burned himself on it.
“Yeah, Y/n and I just had other things to do. Long-distance relationships leave very little time to enjoy each other’s company, you know. We’ll see you around, Albert.” He casually draped his elbow over the door before driving away with that insufferable smirk on his face.

I love to tell you stories but I can't remember how they end!
Tenya Iida x ADHD! Reader






You've been dating Tenya for a while, but even before that he had noticed the way you struggle to pay attention, stay still, concentrate, study and how you get sudden waves of energy throughout the day, ending tired and even grumpy!
When you opened to him and told him how you have ADHD his mind clicked, understanding most of your actions!
Tenya would be so understanding. The moment you tell him about your problems concentrating, the way your brain sends random waves of energy over just to end up tired and how it impacts your everyday life he is quick to learn as much as he can about it, asking people around him if they have similar experiences and how they regulate themselves (Denki is his principal source aside from you).
You take medications?
If you take medication, he would made sure to draw you a schedule for them, adding water intake and multiple breaks for you to be properly active throughout the day. He would totally do it in black and white for you to paint it! He heard that it can help you memorize it!
Troubles eating?
He would check the food you eat, making sure the levels of sugar are not too high, to evade artificial food, too processed, if they have dangerous food colorings, chemicals, etc. You name it, he already checked! He would only force you to eat things if they're healthy and you are extra picky, disguising them with spices and more!
Chores? Boring!
He would treat chores as games! Setting timers to receive stickers and such. He read about it online and does it with Denki too, making chores far more fun to finish and maintaining everything in order.
Studying with Tenya
Study dates would be in calm spaces with little to no distractions, fringing fidget toys to keep you stimulated and low sugar snacks to not get distracted my hunger. Small breaks in between assignments are a must and he knows it! Giving you a shoulder pat or a kiss (depending to how private the space is) as a reward for how good you're doing. He's rigid, but who is he to deny a little kiss in return for your intelligence?
Zoomies!
Oh no, zoomies time! You suddenly want to dance? Go outside? Run? The beach? The park? He's up for it! Using those moments to help you workout. You want to dance? Aerobics it is. Go outside? Hiking seems perfect to build strength! Run? You know he's up for it. The beach? Some laps on the sand to build resistance! Park? You'll be climbing trees and jumping! He knows how to make everything healthy.
Hobbies? Handcrafting
If you suddenly want to do handcrafted things he's willing to test you! Building things out of wood, let's test how you put crafting and building classes to work, you have to measure and cut precisely after all. Building with Legos is a big activity for him! He makes sure to put physics to the test, building giant places with you, bridges, houses, towers and more! This sweet boy gives the healthiest activities always.
Post-zoomies tiredness
He knows how tired you get after those moments of full energy and he has ways to help calm down during those, but he won't mind hugging you and cuddling to sleep afterwards, you get so tired! He'll encourage afternoon naps, his investigations led to realize that allowing you 20 minutes of sleep afterwards you wake up renewed so he makes sure you fall asleep and tracks your sleep for any sort of weird movements (he knows how anxious you can get too and is sure to wake you up and comfort you).
He'll make sure you have something to eat as soon as you wake up, yogurt with fruits are his go to! But granola bars and cookies or crackers work too if they're low in sugar. He'll have you working after that!
Hiperfixations!
You've got hiperfixations? Don't even worry about it, he'll encourage you to explore them safely and make sure that you won't do something bad such as isolate yourself just to indulge in it or spend huge amounts of money, they don't last enough and you always end up thinking "what have I done?" So he scolds you if you suddenly have a wall full with certain hiperfixation that is based in buying things, economical responsibility will be teached to you whether you like it or not.
Meltdowns? Breakdowns?
He understands when you get overwhelmed, there's so much going in your head at the same time that he can't even reprimand you for crying and suddenly getting angry at everyone. He'll try and get you to calm down in his arms, if it's needed he'll give you a calming tea or some light sleeping pills. As soon as your eyes get teary or your voice raises in that particular way, he holds your hand and takes you to a more private space, allowing you to let everything out and wind down, not an ounce of judging. At first it was overwhelming for him to try and calm you down with logic, now he understands that emotions are mostly not logical. He'll whisper sweet words and reassurance while you slowly calm down, he won't even judge you if you subconsciously regress when you're having a meltdown, he knows you seek the comfort of a home when you're crying or angry with the world and your self, caressing your back and calling you his little baby.
He'll bring you something warm to drink, a stuffed animal of your choice or a warm weighted blanket to ground you, he'll drop anything he's doing to comfort you during a breakdown.
Non-verbal or silent treatment?
He understands if you can't talk afterwards or simply don't want to, such strong emotions much leave you so tired that it's hard to communicate. If you go non-verbal he'll find ways to still communicate, even teaching himself and you simple sign language or reading your expressions to keep you comfortable and give you a way to communicate yourself without words.
If you do use silent treatment he'll feel hurt, why would you just ignore him like that? The first few times he'll excuse you but then he'll sit you down and talk about how much your silence hurts him, how you do not even looking at him. Both of you will find ways to bring you out of that state, slowly helping you stop that bad habit.
A/N: This is based off my own experience and my struggles as someone with ADHD, remember that it changes and variates between people! I tried to make these as inclusive as I could and not too based in just me, you're free to add anything in the comments!!

masterlist
"hi sunshine," you heard, despite being focused on reading the progress of the french revolution. it was moments like these where you began to regret taking so many classes - evidently history, english literature, and religious studies were kicking your ass. exam season meant your head burried in as many textbooks as you could carry to the library. it also mean your very sweet boyfriend being a little extra clingy; he explaied it as not being able to see you as often. it made you wonder how he had the time to pester you, as he himself was taking a very difficult computer engineering course. although you were always happy to see him, it didn't mean you had the time to - which led to many nights of him laying in your dorm, scrolling endlessly through tiktok, and every once in a while asking when you'd be done studying.
"hi hyuck," you replied, not taking your eyes of the page. you had almost memorised all the key dates you were struggling with. despite your lack of attention, your boyfriend pressed a kiss to the top of your head and made himself comfortable on your bed.
"what's keeping you from me today, sunshine?" he asked, playing with the stuffed teddy (that he actually bought you for your first anniversary). donghyuck was very understanding of your busy schedule, he'd often say your course was way harder than his, although you always disagreed. whenever he'd find you in the library at odd hours of the night, he would either bring you a snack and a red bull or bother you enough that you would give up and agree to go rest. donghyuck had always been attentive, even when you were just friends. he always made sure you were taken care of, whether that meant driving you home from a party or picking up pads when you were on your period. he often claimed that his love language was acts of service, however you said it was definitely physical touch.
"the french revolution," you replied, still engrossed in the, now unreadable, notes you took during your lectures.
"oh not the french," he rolled his eyes dramatically, even though you couldn't see him. your boyfriend heaved a sigh, hoping to catch at least some of your attention. luckily, you had braced for this moment and knew you could take a small break when he finally showed up.
"i know, the french are so dramatic," you played along with his antics, standing up and moving onto the bed with him. you placed your hand on his cheek, as he nuzzled further into it, enjoying your tentative touch. your hand moved up to brush some hair from his forehead, taking a good look at him. donghyuck's arms wrapped around your frame, bringing you to lay down almost on top of him. he placed his own hand on your jaw, tilting your head to meet his lips in a soft kiss.
"hi," he whispered, pulling away with a smile on his face.
"hi baby," you whispered back, a smiliar love struck smile adorning your face. your own arms wrapped around him, feeling his warm and comforting embrace. donghyuck's hand moved to brush through your hair as you settled further into his arms.
"how you feeling? still got a lot to do?" he said, glancing at the clock. it was only 3pm, so he knew you probably planned to study for a lot longer.
"i'm fine, a little tired, but fine. i really want to get this revolution under control before tomorrow," you sighed, closing your eyes.
"oh yeah, this revolution has to be stopped y/n. i believe you can do it, but in less than one day? that's a strech even for you," your boyfriend's playful words making you laugh softly, although his tone was totally serious.
"i think i can do it," you said with a small smile, eyes still closed. donghyuck looked down at you in his arms, a smile spreading across his face too.
"i think you can do anything, you're literally wonder woman," he emphasised his words by squeezing your frame slightly. his words caused another laugh to bubble out of you.
"sure, hyuck," you patted his chest, as if he were a child and you had no choice but to agree with his crazy beliefs.
"no i'm serious right now. sunshine, you can literally do anything you put your mind to. i've seen it too. you're incredible y/n," donghyuck said, no playfulness in his tone now. the words warmed your heart, butterflies swarming your stomach. it sometimes amazed you, that after so much time with donghyuck he still managed to charm you every time he opened his mouth. well...maybe not every time, but most times. your boyfriend fully believed that you would never undertand the capacity in which he loves and cares for you. you are always his first thought in the morning, and his last just before he fell asleep. he belived his sole purpose was to make someone as perfect as you happy. donghyuck's favourite times were spent by your side, making you laugh, smile, and (hopefully) feel cared for. all he ever wanted was for you to be happy, as long as he achieved that nothing else mattered to him.
"thank you," you whispered, pressing a soft kiss to his neck. the both of you layed in your dorm bed for a little while longer, before you began to get up causing donghyuck to whine.
"sunshine come on," he drew out his words, clinging onto you. "you can study some other time, i won't always be here," the brunette whined, as you untangled yourself from him.
"are you saying you'll break up with me?" you raised your eyebrows, stilling your movements.
"yes," he deadpanned, knowing his words couldn't be further from the truth. you rolled your eyes at his usual antics, detaching yourself further from him and moving to sit at your desk.
"you're so annoying," you say, not looking at him and opening your textbooks again.
"yeah, but you love me," the smile on his face could be heard as he said the words. his smugness caused you to shake your head.
"unfortunately," you mumbled, focusing on the words written on the pages. no more words were exchanged, as donghyuck knew you were keen to study some more - although he did love trying to grab your attention in numerous ways.
a few hours passed, of you studying with a couple of breaks, and donghyuck trying and failing to catch your attention. you were almost satisfied with your knowledge of history, at least for today - tomorrow was probably another day of looming over textbooks and crashing out over minor details you needed to remember in order to pass.
"wanna go to the beach?" the joy of living in a beach city. as the days were warming, you often found yourself sitting at the familiar beach. the sound of the waves always managed to calm your racing mind and tune out any nerves you seemed to have. your boyfriend found himself almost hanging off your bed, the boredom getting the better of him.
"yes," you said, closing your text book as you read the last line of the topic. you turned around, stood up and pressed a kiss to his upside-down lips. donghyuck raised his eyebrows, as this wasn't the outcome he expected when he asked the question. most times, when he bothered you while you were revising, his words went unnoticed. nevertheless, he was happy with your answer, and watched as you put on some warmer clothes. even though the sun was shining, and the air smelled like spring you knew better than to dress as if it was already summer.
soon the both of you found yourselves sitting on a blanket, an arrangement of snacks spread in front of you. donghyuck sat behind you, as you made yourself comfortable inbetween his legs, your back against his firm chest. your boyfriend's arms quickly found their way around you, keeping you warm and cozy.
"the sunset is so pretty," you commented, looking ahead at the horizon. pinks and oranges were melting into one as the sun hid behind the still water of the sea. sunsets at the beach were some of the best memories you'd made at university. whether it was parties that streched into the early hours of the morning, or simple, quiet dates with your boyfriend. it was times like these were you found yourself most at peace; the quiet hum of the waves crashing against the shore, the sun casting an orange glow over your fading tan from last summer, and donghyuck's body providing you with warmth as his arms wrapped tighter around you.
"not as pretty as you," donghyuck said, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck, pressing a soft kiss on the exposed skin. his words caused you to laugh, he always managed to make you smile.
"you're so corny," you craned your neck to look up at him.
"no, you just can't take a compliment," he said, stealing a quick kiss from your lips. donghyuck pulled back with a wide grin. "i love being here with you, sunshine," he pressed another, longer, kiss to your lips - as if he was sealing his love.
"i wouldn't want to be anywhere else," you returned his smile, yours wider if that was possible. "i'd go anywhere, as long as it's with you," you laced your fingers with him, moving to look at the beautiful sunset again.
"i love you, sunshine," donghyuck rested his head on top of yours. "and i totally believe you can still stop that revolution, by the way."

Gym Rat Miguel Part 12
content warning: Miguel is very dramatic in this one, mentions of food
word count: 4k (SHOUTOUT TO MY BETA!! @slushycoookie 🩵)
Prev | Next ✩°。 ⋆⸜ 🎧✮ Masterlist
DISCLAIMER: This story is not canonical. 😒 Most, if not all, of the characters used are OOC. I literally can not stress this enough.
GymRat!Miguel who tries not to dwell on the fact that it’s been just about a month since he’s seen you. It’s the middle of the week and if he thinks about it too much, he’s going to go crazy.
It feels odd because you’re on the same campus as him. You’re not across the country. You’re not out of the country. You’re literally a short walk or drive away and neither of you have time to see each other.
He’s considering printing your pictures out and walking around with them like a forlorn lover looking for his lost soulmate. It feels like he’s back in his bedroom staring at your pictures for hours like a man at war aching for home.
He’s exhausted all of his options.
The couple-lunches have all been rain-checked, the weight of your workload trapping you in the Art building.
Your sleep schedule was terrible, if the late night TikToks and reels were anything to go by. He knew you had morning classes too so he could only assume you’ve had a few hours of sleep during the weeknights.
The weekends were for rest and he didn’t want to disrupt yours.
Your dorm tracked visitors which means he’d only have a few hours with you before curfew if you were even there.
GymRat!Miguel who misses you so bad he’s temporarily replaced his gym playlist for the one you gifted him.
His face is set hard, feet heavy as he sprints over a curved treadmill. After a few minutes he stops, takes a small break, and runs again.
Even the melodic and somber voice playing over a groovy piano couldn’t soothe his thoughts.
His heart rammed in his chest as sweat trickled down his face, his tank drenched and clinging to his chest.
Just a few more sprints to go.
GymRat!Miguel who slides the ear of his headphone off because Xina is standing in front of him, blocking his path.
“Anymore sprints and you’re going to pass out,” she hands him a towel.
“Maybe I want to,” Miguel grumbles, nabbing the towel and rubbing his face like someone spit on it.
Xina grabbed her ponytail and pinned it up, loose hair sticking to her neck. “Don’t say that. It’s not funny. I can only manage pulling your body to the entrance to the gym.”
Miguel snorted.
GymRat!Miguel who fills up the time that he used to spend with you to get to know his friends and meet others.
This meant having game nights with Peter and Ben. They were so close, not really, to convincing him to join their DND parties.
If he wasn’t with them, he was occasionally calling The Geek Squad and catching up. A Friendsgiving date was now tentatively on his calendar because of it.
Of course, his robotics team was still going steady. Aaron was interesting, if nothing else, and Margo was like the little sister he never had.
Then, there was checking up on Gabriel like a Tamagotchi. Was he eating ok? Did he need some money? Is he trapped in the subway? Did a rat eat him?
Gabriel had sent him a screenshot of his contact with his name being changed to “Mom #2.”
Miguel only scoffed and told Gabriel his name was going to get changed to “pain in my ass.”
The newest development, however, was Xina. Her transferring here felt like middle school when they used to be attached at the hip.
They had their programming class together two days out of the week, biweekly study sessions, and the occasional late night excursion.
It also explains why she’s eyeing him from the stairmaster while he heaves over the handles of the treadmill.
GymRat!Miguel who thanked Xina as she handed him his jug of water. He sat up from the bench to let her take a seat.
“So,” she started.
“I’m not helping you hack your professor’s dashboard. While you could do it, it’s not a good idea and quantum physics isn’t that-“
“It’s not that, you dick,” Xina pinched his side. “It’s you. What’s up with you?”
“Nothing is up with me.”
“Miguel.”
“Xina.”
“Now, you’re being a brat. Something is definitely wrong.”
Miguel picked at the peeling Game Over sticker on his bottle. He needed to tape it down or he’d lose it.
“I miss her.”
“Miss who? Your mom?”
“What? No. I miss my girlfriend.”
It was quiet between them, the sound of chatter and the clanking of equipment filled the white noise.
Xina tilted her head, “That bad?”
Miguel nods.
“When’s the last time you saw her?”
He takes a dramatic breath, “Our anniversary date. Last month. I feel…”
“Like you can’t function? Like it’s hard to think?”
“Is that pathetic?” Miguel winces. “I have a feeling you’re going to say that it is.”
“No, I don’t think that.”
Miguel pouts as he looks up. Xina shrugs and slides her hands on down her leggings.
“Remember the times I went boy crazy? All the times I came crying to you after they screwed me over, even when you already warned me they weren’t good guys? I think you deserve to be crazy about your girlfriend.”
“Thanks,” Miguel blinked. “You were way too nice to those first guys.”
“I learned though, didn’t I? I know a good guy when I see him, now,” Xina pushed at Miguel’s shoulders with hers.
“And now those self-defense lessons won’t go to waste, right?”
Xina snorted as she recalled the time she managed to flip Winston on his back at Miguel’s instruction.
GymRat!Miguel who watches Xina’s eyes grow in shock when he tells her how long he’s been dating you.
“Dang,” Xina stops in her tracks. “A year?”
Miguel puffs up his chest and stands a little straighter, a confident stride in his step, “One year and counting.”
“That’s,” Xina turns and waits for a car to go by. She readjusts her gym bag. “That’s awesome, Hare-Hare.”
GymRat!Miguel who feels the mood shift by the time he drops Xina back off. He’s not sure what’s brought it up, but now he’s nervous about upsetting her more.
He taps on the wheel, after he pulls into a park.
“You sure you don’t want me to get you anything? You don’t need to go anywhere?”
Xina unbuckles her seatbelt, “Nope. All good. See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” he watches her close the door before he can even finish. “See you.”
GymRat!Miguel who obliges when Xina texts him the next day to switch up their study session location.
Miguel wanted to keep the busy calm of the 1st floor of the library but Xina insisted on giving him a change of scenery.
“It’s good for you! You stare at the screen all day when you’re coding,” Xina slams Miguel’s car door to which he sneer at her for. “You need to look up and smell the coffee sometimes.”
“You just want a reason to not do your work.”
Xina turns around and walks backwards in front of Miguel, “And that’s completely fine. We should live a little.”
She trips over the edge of the sidewalk with a yelp and Miguel is quick to catch her, the panic on his face evident.
“See,” she grins as she pulls herself up by Miguel’s shoulders. “Living!”
GymRat!Miguel who lets Xina order for him while he finds a table.
The cafe was bright, white wood accenting the walls with vines and plants adorning the area. Salmon pink brought a pop of color to the sandy-looking tables and fairy lights hung in the corners of the room.
Miguel’s eyes grew as he saw the variety of desserts on display, his mouth itching to take a bite.
“No, no, no. Go away. I’ll pick something you’ll like,” Xina blocks Miguel’s lingering eyes.
Miguel clicks his teeth, “If it’s not good, I’m going to be really upset.”
“I doubt it.”
GymRat!Miguel who walks deeper into the cafe. He’s dodging ceiling plants left and right, but he’s sure that the best seats are in the furthest of the building.
He shuffles around a corner, eyes adjusting to the sun coming through window.
He blinks a few times and takes in the spacious area.
That’s when he sees you.
He walks fast, the strides of his steps wide.
The closer he gets, the stronger the smell of peaches builds. The sun was shining down like it granted Miguel one the greatest gifts of his life. Its rays danced across the spot that you're in.
He gets to your chair and pulled it out with ease, the sound disrupting the hushed corner.
A pen falls to the floor, voices are cut short, and arms are flailing but Miguel’s nose is buried deep into your neck.
Your arms tighten around his neck and your voice skips across his ears.
“I-” a kiss across your face, “missed you so much.” Miguel looks at you like you hold the stars in the sky within your palm.
“You scared the shit out of me, Miguel,” you say with no really malice in your voice. Your thumbs run across his cheeks, watching as he beams at you. You kiss him once or twice, heart fluttering as your feet dangle in the air.
“I hope there aren’t many people picking you up in the middle of establishments,” Miguel mumbled across your lips.
“Guys, there’s people staring at us,” a voice creeps in from the side of Miguel.
Miguel’s eyes follow it to see a deer-looking kid with hoodie pulled up over his ears.
“Who is this?”
GymRat!Miguel who is introduced to Miles, your freshman classmate that you’ve taken in.
He’s sitting across the table nodding along to you as you rave about Miles’ work. The entire time, his right hand didn’t leave your left one.
“So,” Miguel chimes in when there’s a pause. “Have you both been coming here a while?”
“Nah, I just dragged her out here recently. She never leaves the art building when a deadline is near. It’s kind of depressing-“
“You know, Miles.” You're holding back an eye roll. “There are times when you could just not talk.”
“No, actually tell me more,” Miguel insisted, attentive.
GymRat!Miguel who hurries to help a struggling Xina when she rounds the corner with a tray full of goodies.
A cinnamon roll, a lemon tart, a tall purple drink, and some warm tea is placed on the table while you and Miles clear the area.
You sit up straighter to watch Miguel pick up the tea cup and blow over it. “Tea? No milk with a pinch of coffee?”
“Amor…”
Xina looks over to his cup, “Did you want something else?”
“No, this is good, I haven’t had this in a while,” he takes a sip and hums while explaining to you. “I’ve been on this sweet drink kick since she let me try her frappe last year.”
“That’s rich because you always hated it when I got those.”
“To be fair, you downed like four of those in one day. I’m surprised your body didn’t go into shock.”
“I don’t know,” you shrug. “Four in one day must have meant you were going through it.”
Xina smiles and nods her head, “Exactly. And I told him-”
“We’re not doing this,” Miguel grumbled and stabbed his fork into his roll. “Four was way too much and she was bouncing off the walls all day just to crash and throw up on my shoes.”
“I said I was sorry about that!”
GymRat!Miguel who cuts pieces of his dessert to feed to you. You look at him incredulously as he insists on giving you bite after bite.
“Is it good?” Miguel asks chewing his own piece. You nod and he grins, happy in the bubble he’s created.
When Xina reaches for his plate for a piece he slides it away with ease, a move he knows too well.
“Why can’t I have some? I bought it.”
“You didn’t even ask!”
“Neither did she!”
Miles leans over to you, “I feel like I’m watching a fight between me and my baby sister.”
Miguel is pushing Xina’s hands away from his plate while she laughs up a storm. You think that it does mirror something like Gabriel and Miguel’s relationship, but something about Miguel isn’t the same.
GymRat!Miguel who continues his Tom and Jerry act with Xina even when the food is gone.
They were bickering over some formula that you couldn’t begin to figure out by yourself. To Miguel, it’s easy. To Xina, the setup makes no sense.
“How did you survive Ivy League without me?” Miguel asks as he reaches over and erases an error on her page.
“Like I do anything else, with peace.”
“So what you’re saying is,” Miguel points his pencil at Xina, “you hate me and I am not needed for problems 4 through 10.”
“No!” she panics, pushing his pen back to the paper. “I need you to start this one. I don’t understand it.”
“We just did one like this, though. It’s just the imaginary number all over again.”
Xina groaned and slumped in her chair while Miguel just turned back to his on work.
GymRat!Miguel who peers up from his computer to watch you work. You eyebrows pinch as your wrist moves across the large sketchpad in front of you. Your hand is moving fast and you’re so focused. Miguel hasn’t seen you like this before. In your element.
He leans his head on his hand, cheek squished and staring at you like he’s never seen you, like you were something to be admired.
You were pretty today, a sweater with some cartoon on it and some jeans that flared out at the bottom. Your bunny necklace was dangling around your neck and your glasses were falling down your nose.
You push them back and a smudge of charcoal from moving Miles’ artwork gets on your cheek.
“Stare at her any harder and she might grow something freaky,” Miles whispers.
Miguel falters and grabs a napkin, leaning to wipe your cheek, “She has something on her face.”
GymRat!Miguel who tries to be even more discreet as he watches you fill up the page. It’s mesmerizing seeing what you come up with.
He’ll type a little bit then look at your sketches, he’ll click a few links then look at your face. Sometimes, you would catch him looking and smile at resulting in his heart picking up.
Occasionally, Miles would ask your opinion on something and you would give him pointers, the two of you discussing something about focal points and rule of threes.
Miguel just wanted to put his stuff up and listen to you all day.
“What are you working on?” Xina asks, her voice breaking the silence. She’s staring directly at your drawings, fingers tapping against her notebook.
You perk up and flip your pad around, “It’s some ideas for one of our bigger projects! The theme is reinventing a classic, so I’m thinking something like a spin on Lady Godiva with a haunted theme and darker palette. Or The Fallen Angel with a bird’s eye perspective of him on the ground.”
You took a breath and flipped the page, “And then there’s The Kiss which I wanted to actually do a glaze to really give it that ‘mosaic’ look.”
Miguel leaned in with Xina to take a closer look.
The sketch was exceptional to say the least. Miguel wasn’t too sure how the original painting looked, but your drawing detailed a woman wrapped in these angular, moving shapes. Her face was angled up and a far-off look adorned her features. To her right sat a man whose lips were on her neck and his attention solely on her.
It was soft, yet strong. How you managed to put so much intimacy onto a single page was beyond him.
The feeling of it was familiar and when he looked up at you, he knew.
Miguel opens his mouth, “It’s..”
“Boring.”
“Beautiful.”
He turns to Xina with a frown on his face as she flips back to the front page.
“I mean, I think one of the other two is better, you know? More of a twist on the originals. The last one feels safe.”
The table is quiet as Xina’s comment marinates. She’s flipping further into your book and Miguel promptly snatches it from her and closes it a bit harder than he needs to. Miles shifts in his seat, chewing on the straw of his drink.
“Can you explain why it feels safe to you?” your fingers pick at a nail.
She looks up, “Well, don’t you want to stand out? Out of the others, I don’t think this one is that unique.”
“The point isn’t to stand out,” Miles chimes in. “The assignment is about remixing a classic and all three of these do that pretty well.”
Your smile is small, “Thanks, Miles.”
“So which one do you think is better?” Xina asks.
“The last one,” both Miles and Miguel say.
“It carries the emotion of the original while also bringing more focus to couple rather than the abstracted cloth. You can see the love between them in a way that the original doesn’t have and it’s not even painted yet,” Miles talks with ease. “But! That’s just my opinion.”
“I think it’s powerful,” Miguel hums. “You should go with that one.”
You nod, thumbing over the corner of the pages.
GymRat!Miguel who watches Miles nearly fly out of the cafe.
Something about catching the bus to go see a friend perform.
“Poor thing,” you mumble. “He didn’t even buy the tickets yet.”
GymRat!Miguel who can almost see the stress coming off of you in waves the later it gets in the evening.
“Are you alright?” Miguel places his hand over yours.
“Yeah, I think I need a nap.”
“Need me to drive you back?”
“No, it’s fine. You need to drive Xina back.” You start to pack up. “I brought my car anyways.”
Miguel follows your movements, hands putting his laptop up as well.
He hurries to pull your chair out and you thank him with a quiet voice. He follows you from the table to the door to your car. The scene is almost comical the way he’s in your peripheral.
“Will I see you again soon?” Miguel leans on the hood of your car, body practically falling onto you in the driver’s seat. “We gotta set up a date.”
“I’ll see what I can do, baby,” you rub his face and kiss the kicked-puppy look off of his face. “I’ll text you once I get back.”
“Please.”
GymRat!Miguel who throws his backpack in the backseat and slumps over the wheel once he’s certain your car was down the road.
“What now?” Xina patted Miguel’s back. “You miss her again?”
Miguel just dug his head onto the horn, the effect alerting anyone within 50ft radius.
“Ok, ok,” Xina yanked him up by his shoulders only for him to drop back down again. She sighs and grabs the back of his head with a slight yank to his hair.
Miguel swats her hand away with a grit to his teeth and a pinch to his brows.
Xina only holds her hands up with a grin lining her lips, “Calm down.”
“You’re really annoying me today.”
Xina drops her hands and her smile falters. Miguel straightens up with an apology on the roof of his mouth before Xina picks back up with joy.
“What I think you need is an awesome rager for your birthday.”
“No.”
“Why not? It could be fun!”
“I’m all partied out until next year.”
“Not even with your friends? People from your department? A couple of classmates? The robo nerds?”
“That’s robo rockstars to you.”
Xina laughed and buckled her seatbelt.
“I think it could be great, seriously. We’re doing it.”
Miguel only groaned and turned on the ignition.
GymRat!Miguel who wanted to use his Sunday for relaxation, a cheat day, maybe a game or two with Gabriel, Peter, and Winston.
Instead, he’s lying on his bed listening to Xina rant about one of her roommates using the sink as a trash can.
“Like we have a ridiculously expensive trash can that’s less than a foot away from the sink. It’s a simple spin and drop.”
“Ok, I get this is really gross, but don’t you have other friends you could bother?”
Xina pauses, and points her finger at him, “Hey, I’m here to help you out. If I wasn’t here, who knows how down in the dumps you’d be.”
“This isn’t helping me.”
GymRat!Miguel who answers his phone while Xina has managed to pull Peter into a game of Overcooked on his Switch.
“Hey, Ma.”
“Miguel! How do I connect your father’s computer to the TV? He found a movie that we could watch but the screen is so small.”
“He found a movie but can’t connect cords?”
“Just answer the question, mijo.”
Miguel sits up, prepared to spend at least forty minutes trying to explain what an HDMI cord is.
“Yeah.”
Xina gasps, pauses the game leaving a displeased Peter, and hops into the corner of Miguel’s phone.
“Hi, Mrs. O’Hara!”
“Hola, mi dulce niña! Hace mucho que no te veo. ¿Que tal te ha ido?“ (Hello, my sweet girl! I haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been?)
“Más o menos, pero me alegro de verte.” (So-so, but I’m happy to see you.)
“No, Xina! ¿Qué tienes?” (What’s wrong?)
Miguel just plopped the device in Xina’s hand, “I like how you both started a conversation on my phone.”
“We’ve got important things to discuss,” Xina waved him off while she and his mother continued to fawn over each other.
Miguel just slid off the bed and joined Peter.
GymRat!Miguel who doesn’t get his phone back until curfew hours are around the corner.
Xina and his mom discussed everything from reality TV to recipes to her time up north. Xina left happier than when she came in which Miguel didn’t mind. He just wished he could have had the room to himself.
GymRat!Miguel who doesn’t see your message until he’s about to go to sleep.
“Baby”
“Let’s do something together on your bday”
Miguel unpeeled his eyes and typed swiftly.
“YES”
“YEESSSS”
“Best birthday ever already”
“Someone’s excited”
“I haven’t even said what we’re doing yet”
“What are we doing”
“Tell me please”
“Pleasepleasepleaseplease”
“Mmm”
“No”
“It’s a secret 🙂↔️”
“I can wait”
“That you are”
“Sometimes”
“😗”
“But mi luz I think Xina is trying to plan something too”
“Oh”
“Should we raincheck then?”
“NOOOOOO!”
“I can do both”
“I’ll literally split myself in two”
“You don’t have to choose”
“My gift is small”
“I want you to have fun on your special day”
“Can you come to the party?”
“I don’t want to miss it but I’ll have to see”
“If anything it’ll be much later”
“As long as I get to see you I’ll be happy”
“Good night bebé”
“Night!”
"Love you"
“Love you more"

Running the back of your pen along your bottom lip, you sigh, finally leaning back from your desk. You had been looking at the same page of your physics textbook for an hour. It felt like your brain was beginning to feel like jello. A familiar ding from your cellphone made you bite down on the end of your pen as you reached for the phone, the corners of your lips pulling up into a slight smirk.
ariespic_46 is live
You tried not to waste your money. It was hard enough to be a college student and to share an apartment instead of living in a dorm but sometimes spoiling yourself was important. It was hard enough trying to balance a part-time job and a full-time course work schedule; you rarely found time to go to parties and the relationship pool was limited.
You had dated during your time at the university but it had been brief and no one had ever kept your attention for longer than a month. Over time, classes became more important and you found other ways to find pleasure, even if it cost you a few extra bucks a month to indulge in.
Opening your laptop, you find yourself entranced by the man on your screen as he smiles, leaning back in his chair. He never showed anything above his nose. You wished you could see his entire face. With as handsome as he was from the nose down, you were drooling over this camboy almost daily.
As ariespic_46 lets out a breath, you find yourself doing the same as you lay on your side on your bed in the dark. He was dressed in some tan dress pants, a white button up that was already unbuttoned down to the top of his abs, the sleeves pushed up to his elbows. He looked like a dream. You couldn’t help but look over every detail that you were privy to. He had the cutest freckle on the end of his nose and sharp canines that he bit down into his bottom lip with when he was especially horny, like now.
“Hi pups. I missed you.”
A small squeak slips from your lips when the man finally talks. He was such a tease. He would sometimes just sit there for minutes while the chat went crazy, asking for things, just his biceps flexing as he stretched out his fingers in clear amusement at how needy the chat was.
“Aw, you missed me too, didn’t you? That’s cute.”
The man leans his head back and you try to move your head so you can see more of him but as usual, it's in vain. He had his camera set up for this. He didn’t want his face fully on the screen and while you could respect it, you were still curious.
“It was a long day. You have no idea. I’m all wound up... Having to be this professional in front of others while I think about doing this later. God…” The man grins, his canines on display, as he lifts his hips, undoing his dress pants. “And then the teasing I put up with on a daily fucking basis. I don’t think she even realizes she’s doing it.”
You furrow your brows. He talked about some girl on his streams sometimes. You didn’t mind; no one seemed to. It got him even more excited to think about this girl who teased him during the day. You wondered what it would be like to be her—to be the one on his mind all day and night. The one that made him want to wrap his hand around his thick cock and stroke it until he came so hard. You imagine you are her sometimes; he makes it easy for you to, with how he talks to the stream.
“Wanna put you on your knees in front of me for teasing me like that?"
Watching ariespic_46 closely, your eyes follow as he kicks his pants somewhere off the screen. The man smirked, leaning back in his chair, knowing eyes were on him. He could see the viewer count and it never disappointed him. Your eyes were moving over the bit of his chest that was exposed as his fingers undid the rest of his shirt, leaving him in his dress shirt and briefs as a long, sighing groan slipped from his lips.
“Can’t help but think how pretty you’d look if you were. So fucking pretty every day and acting so innocent like you don’t realize I’m looking at you.”
You sigh, your bottom lip jutting out, as the man talks to the girl through you and the other viewers. You feel a bit of shame as you run your fingers along your stomach and play with the tie of your pajama pants but it’s not enough to stop you.
Glancing at the comments, you can’t help but agree with a few of them, saying they’d never ignore him. You couldn’t imagine ignoring someone like ariespic_46, not on purpose. There was no one who went to your university who came close to looking like him.
When the man wraps his fingers around his cock for the first time, you have to close your eyes to the sound that slips out between his pretty lips. You loved the sounds he made. He never tried to keep them quiet or to himself. He just let them be as erotic as possible and it made you drip around your fingers that were now slowly sliding through your folds.
“Are you being a good girl for me? My pretty little pup? Are you gonna cum for me when I cum tonight?”
Whimpering, you nod even though he can’t see you. You weren’t one who took the time to comment while he touched himself and spoke. You knew he wouldn’t recognize names from chat anyway. He did, however, acknowledge tips and that you did when you let yourself think with your pussy more than your brain.
“Mm, thank you, Nabi.”
Hearing part of your username on ariespic_46’s lips as he moans, pre-cum slipping over his fingers, makes you press your lips together. You hadn’t sent him much—just $30—but for a student, that was more than you should be spending on porn.
Pressing your nose against your arm, you adjust yourself on the bed, watching the man groan louder as he got closer to his climax. You had started to be able to tell when it was going to happen. The way his mouth fell open, the way his groans got more urgent and drawn out, his fingers of his right hand gripping the arm of his chair for dear life as he stroked himself through his climax with his left.
Most nights when you watched his streams, you would end up doing exactly what ariespic_46 wanted and cum soon after he had but other nights, like tonight, you would end up panting as your thighs pressed together out of need. You knew there was always more, even as the man on the screen laughed, stretching his fingers out to show the camera all the cum dripping from him.
"Fuck, that was good. I have to get cleaned up. Bye, baby. See you next time.”
The stream stated it had ended, and you find yourself on your back with your phone in one hand, waiting for what came next. Not only did you tip because it made you feel good to hear even your username on the man’s lips but also for what he would give you. A notification stating you had a direct message from ariespic_46 pop’s up at the top of your screen and you find yourself giggling like a teenager getting a message from a crush.
ariespic_46: have a good night, nabi 🦋 thank you🖤 [picture attached]
Staring at the message for a moment, you bite at your bottom lip before your thumbs move over the keyboard to reply. You knew you didn’t have to, and that he probably didn’t check replies but it felt important to you.
nabi.wings: anytime, thank you for the stream ❣️
Taking a breath, you finally press down on the link for the picture, only to moan at the sight. It was one thing to see his cock and fingers covered in cum on the stream but it was another entirely to see it in a picture like this. Now was when you couldn’t help but let your fingers wander lower. Now you could let yourself let go of any shame you were feeling before and just let yourself pretend for a little while that he had cum this much for just you.
