Gripping a stack of papers, she fanned her face, desperate to diminish the rabid perspiration trickling down her forehead.
"Is it hot in here? Its definitely hot in here-"
"Relax- I'm almost done."
She nods, an effort to give some semblance that the world may not crumble beneath her feet in a mere moment. Dr. Ji's eyes peered over her small wire glasses while she set down the large stack of writing on her desk.
"It's..satisfactory. Not stellar. But palpable."
Y/N sighs, resting her palms on the top of her head, as if to keep herself from floating away in embarrassment.
"What am I missing? I mean I only have a couple months left to revise my thesis- I need it to be perfect."
"Luckily, you have a strong base. The content all checks out but there's nothing majorly substantial to make an impact in this field."
Groaning, she drags her hands down her face and to her sides in defeat.
"This is what I get for wanting to get a masters in Mythology and Folklore...what do you suggest I do?"
Dr. Ji stood up, her short five foot frame hobbling from behind her messy desk to Y/N.
"You're a good writer, the content is solid but no serious journal will publish this if you don't read like you love-", she pauses to read the title, "THE COEXISTENCE OF SUPERNATURAL FOLKLORE & MYTHOLOGY IN THE MODERN ERA". Y/N slumps down in the office chair beside Dr. Ji, now at eye level with the professor. Dr. Ji smiles softly at her student before reaching out and patting her head gently. "Now my suggestion is for you to take the next couple of days and just look for the little things. Remember what got you most excited about your studies and research. Center yourself, be vulnerable and your love will show on paper." Y/N nods, trying her best to hold back the pain glinting in her eyes.
Fall in love with research again? Easier said than done, especially when you're working part-time, studying full-time, and an all the time mess.
"Thanks Dr. Ji. I'll see you for class on Wednesday?"
Dr. Ji nods and shuffles her out of the office.
"Yes, yes, now you go! Go, go fall in love!" For a tiny woman, her chants seemed to bounce off every surface of the humanities building. Y/N cringed and waved before scurrying out of the hall and out the building.
Slinging her tote bag over her shoulder, Y/N looked across campus, breathing in the crisp fall air. Her eyes landed on the library building, the very one that made her fall in love with this campus and school. Before she even realized, her feet had marched right up to the front door, her hand ] reaching for the handle.
"Here's to falling in love again."
The stark smell of old books and pages that have been flipped between a thousand times over struck her nose- a smell of comfort and intrigue. She wandered through the aisles aimlessly, remembering all of her nearly all-nighters that had taken place.
"Oh..." Before her stood a large wooden door, one that hadn't been there previously, or at least hadn't been noticed previously.
"SHH!"
Y/N jumped, turning to see Brenda, the stingy forever-freshman that worked in the library. If you could hear past the lisp from the intense orthodontics happening in her mouth or not end up getting smacked by her hip-length braid, she was actually alright.
"Sorry Brenda," She whispered apologetically. "What's this door to?"
"The restricted section, serious researchers only."
"Well...I'm a serious researcher."
Brenda rolled her eyes, pulling out a large key ring, the jingling ringing louder than any whisper in the entire library.
"Dr. Ji gave me a heads up that you might be stopping by cause your thesis sucks."
"My thesis does not suck! Wait did she say it sucks?"
Brenda snorts while opening the door.
"Just make sure to check out with me if you're taking anything before you go. We close at 11."
Y/N nods as Brenda walks off, the large oak door wafting the smell of books older than imaginable. Like a sensory ambrosia, she slowly walks inside, following her nose. The old floor boards creek below her feet, bringing her back to reality. The room looked original to the school's architecture but somehow felt like it had been here hundreds of years prior. A small oil lamp hanging from the ceiling was the only illumination in the space, casting a dim light across the tightly packed shelves.
"That has to be a fire hazard..."
Looking around she notices the varying titles of text: "ANCIENT PRACTICES & WITCHCRAFT", "CARIBBEAN BRUJERIA", "SPELLS OF THE FORGOTTEN WORLD".
"This is some fucking Harry Potter shit."
Amused, she keeps looking but not before stumbling on a lifted floor board.
"Shit!" Flying forward she falls into one of the book shelves before landing on the floor, a couple books hitting her on the way down, adding insult to injury to the stubbed toe. "Owww fuck fuck fuck," Y/N rubs her foot, waiting for the throbbing pain to dwindle. As the pain subsides, she picks up one of the books that went down with her: CONNECTING WITH MODERN MYTHOLOGY: BEINGS & BEYOND. "Oooh, you're coming home with me."
She tucks the book into her tote and puts back the other fallen ones. She turns to see the corner of the lifted floor board sticking straight up. Pulling out her phone, she turns on the flashlight, a red light shimmering from beneath.
"Oh?"
Crawling towards the peaking red glow, she peels the floorboard up with ease to see a chest-like box sitting underneath. She pulls it onto her lap to examine the box more closely. It was narrow and appeared to be wooden with some leather binding and red gemstones stitched into the sides.
"Sick," Y/N mumbled under her breath mesmerized by the mysterious box.
"GOOD EVENING, THE LIBRARY IS GOING TO CLOSE IN 20 MINUTES. PLEASE MAKE ANY LAST MINUTE CHECK-OUTS AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU," Brenda's screechy lisp blasted into the room, making her jump.
"Okay so they can put speakers in here but not a lightbulb? Got it."
Y/N slips the box into her tote and pushes down the floor board with her foot. Giving the room one more glance, she heads out to the front desk to check out the book.
"Just this one Brenda," she says sliding restricted book across the counter.
Brenda narrow's her eyes suspiciously, eyeing her up and down.
"Just this book? Nothing else?"
"Uh nope just this."
Brenda jots down the title on a notepad.
"The restricted books don't have barcodes cause of aesthetics or whatever."
Subtly wiping the not so aesthetic Brenda lisp spit that landed on her cheek, Y/N smiles weakly.
"Thanks Brenda, have a nice night."
Spinning on the heel of her foot, Y/N speed-walks out of the library, clutching her tote bag close to her chest. One foot after the other increasingly picking up speed, she runs across campus to her nearby apartment. Through the main entrance, up the stairs, down the hall and inside to her apartment at last.
Opening her tote bag, she sets the box on the counter to examine it closer in the light. It looked otherworldly and yet for being under a dusty old floorboard, looked to be in excellent condition. The examination was cut short after a loud growl sounded from her stomach.
"Food first, freaky ass box later."
Y/N got to work making pasta. She poured herself a glass of wine while she cooked and flipped through the pages of her newfound book as the water boiled. By the time dinner was done she had downed two glasses and made it through the prologue and the first chapter.
Chapter 2: DIRECT CONTACT
Her brows furrowed at the title. Her eyes glazed over the page, confused, as it was completely blank. In fact, the entire rest of the book, was blank. Y/N flipped through the pages in disbelief.
POP!
Y/N jumped, whipping her head around to see the box open, the lid propped up to show a board inside. A black wooden board with red lettering carved into he surface with an arrowhead-shaped planchette resting on top.
"No fucking way," she mumbled under her breath, pulling the board and planchette out from the box. "I'm gonna need another glass before I mess with this."
After pouring a large glass, chugging about half of it, Y/N sat down in her living room. The board and planchette sitting in front of her, beckoning. She took one more sip of courage before taking the planchette and marking "HI" on the board.
Instantly, the board began to glow, the red letters brighter than before. Soon enough the board and planchette began to vibrate with energy, clamoring against the coffee table. Y/N whined in fear, trying her best to hold back her fearful screams. A dark smoke began to fill the room as Y/N looked around frantically for the source- the box. Rattling and shaking on the counter, more and more thick smoke poured out, causing her to cough.
"No no no no, this can't be happening," She cries, ducking under her arms for cover.
And suddenly, silence.
Y/N peels her arms away from her face, only to find that there wasn't any more smoke, but instead a man. Tall, devilishly handsome, and dressed in traditional Korean durumagi and large black hat. He crouches down to be at eye-level with her. He gives a charming smile, sharp teeth and yellow eyes peeking from under the brim of the hat. When looking closer, there are noticeable iridescent markings covering his skin. Before Y/N can get a word out, the man smirks and takes off the hat.
"Hi. I'm Jinu."

Hi! Can I request a todoroki x fem! reader x bakugou where the two guys both like reader, but she’s super oblivious! of course bakugou is mad at Todoroki and wants him to back off but todoroki is just calm and gentlemanly towards reader. Lots of competitiveness (and maybe ft. endeavor’s credit card LOL) and class 1-a thinks the love triangle is hilarious! Thank you so much!
a/n: hello!! i love this request oh my god,, and thanks again for being so patient 💓 sorry if it’s a little long, i just missed writing!!
taglist: @jr-j-j @thebatwrangler @johariameil @mixfi @lilacskyura @katsuhoee @moonlightinsanity @anime-waifuuu @leeeah-loooser @bby-chloe1999 @verymuchbabey @cookednoodlez @helloshoutohere @star-mum @izuku-sakura @thegalxe @kiddiegore @xizimagines @iiminibattlehero @strawberry-ice

When Shoto asked you to hang out, it came to you as a surprise. The stoic boy always seemed so focused on school. You complied and said yes, it could be fun to leave the dorms at walk around the city.
“Oi, Y/N-chan!”
You whipped your head around to see your class mate Katsuki, hands crossed over his chest and a slight scowl.
“Yes Kacchan?”
He rolled his eyes at the stolen nickname and slung his book bag over his shoulder, walking to you. You had dismissed from your last class of the day and were packing up.
“Let’s hang out sometime.”
You chuckled and grabbed your bag before facing him. He wasn’t one to give out such offers and be so forward.
“Is this a joke?”
You walked past him and into the hall, a growl emitting from his chest as he followed behind you.
“No dumb ass, I actually want to take you-“
Your phone buzzed and you held your finger up to the blond’s face, telling him to be quiet, he returned the action with a glare.
Your screen displayed that Shoto was calling you so you quickly unlocked it to answer.
“Todoroki-kun! To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Hello Y/N-Chan, I just wanted to make sure we’re still on for the movie and dinner tonight.”
“Yes!” You chirped, ignoring how close Katsuki was to you, leaning down to try and eavesdrop on the conversation. “Who else is coming with us?”
There was a pause on Shoto’s end.
“J-Just us.”
“Oh okay! Sounds good, we agreed on 7 o’clock right?”
“Yes.”
“Okie dokie! I’ll meet you in the common area then! Later Sho-kun!”
You hung up and turned to Katsuki, tucking your phone into the waist band of your uniform.
“Sorry about that! Todoroki-kun wanted to make sure we were still on for tonight.”
Katsuki furrowed his brows and looked down at you.
“What do you mean.”
You laughed softly and pushed his side playfully.
“Exactly what you think it means. We’re just hanging out.”
Katsuki’s eye twitched and he let out an annoyed ‘tch’. You sighed and stepped in front of him. “Don’t get all mad at me for hanging out with him just because you don’t like him. I’m allowed to have more than one friend.”
“Friends,” He mumbled and shoved his hands into his pockets. “What are you and icy-hot doing anyway?” He asked with slight disdain in his voice.
“Just dinner and a movie,” You chirped, turning the corner to the dorm halls.
Katsuki stopped in his tracks and stared at you.
“What?” He growled. You rolled your eyes at his dramatics and kept walking.
“Dinner and a movie Kacchan, jeez have you ever hung out with a friend before?”
“That doesn’t sound like hanging out to me,” He grumbles. You raised a brow at him.
“Then what does it sound like?”
Before he could answer, a cheery Tsu hopped your way.
“Tsu-chan!” You beamed at your best friend.
“Y/N-chan!” She replied smiling up at you. “Want to go study for the quiz in Hero Law?”
You sweat dropped and nodded.
“Oh crap I totally forgot! Yes, thanks for reminding me!” You turned to Katsuki and have him a wave before heading off with Tsu to study.
“Bakugo-kun looked upset, is he okay?” She asked, peering up from under her bangs. You shrugged and entered her room after she opened the door, hopping on her incredibly comfy, hibernation perfect bed.
“I don’t know, he seemed a little ticked off to know I’m hanging out with Sho-kun tonight.”
Tsu nodded and sat on the floor in front of you.
“What are you guys doing?”
“Dinner and a movie.”
Tsu blinked and stared at you. She was quite surprised that Shoto had actually made a move after all this time. It wasn’t a secret to the class that Shoto had a thing for you. And it was also painfully obvious that Katsuki did too.
“That’s a date Y/N-chan.”
You snorted and rolled your eyes, “Yeah right, if it was a date then he would’ve said so.”
Tsu shook her head and sighed in response. Your obliviousness was too much to bare at times. It was clear who they felt about you. The two boys were quite competitive with each other to begin with, but this was a whole different ball game.
Shoto would prepare your bento-box lunch in the morning, always having it ready before you could even complain that he made you lunch again. Katsuki would offer to train with you, offering you combat advice, but it usually ended with the two of you laughing and drinking chocolate milk in recovery. Those were the subtle moments, other actions, not so much. You viewed it as simple competition between rivals, but the class new better. Those boys were head over heels for you and desperate for your attention. The day you fell asleep in class, Shoto swiped your notebook and wrote all of your missing notes for you before you could wake up. Because of this, Katsuki offered to help you study. But you had already agreed to study with Tsu and Momo. Shoto has won that round.
The day you forgot your umbrella for the field trip and Katsuki gave you his hoodie was a major win against Shoto.
To you it was just your class mates being kind, but your obliviousness has begun to be a running joke to your other peers. Kirishima always seemed to be teasing Katsuki about something and Deku was always throwing Shoto thumbs ups across the class room. You saw cute friendships, they saw hypemen and wingmen.
Once you finished studying and thanked Tsu for her help, you changed your clothes and slipped on your shoes to meet Shoto in the common area. He said it was a nice restaurant and your stomach growled at the idea of expertly made soba. You looked in the mirror at your dress and adjusted the laces of your sneakers before grabbing your purse and walking out.
“Sho-kun!” You chirped at the duo-toned haired boy as you walked towards him. He wore slacks and a sweater, a turtleneck peeking underneath. He cheeks grew red at the sight of you. It was rare for you dress in more than just leggings and a t-shirt when you out of your uniform.
“Y/N-Chan,” he sighed almost dreamily. You smiled at him brightly.
There were a few other students in the common area at this time. Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Deku and Katsuki were seated at the coffee table playing a card game. Yet it seemed to come to a pause when you walked in the room. Deku and Kirishima looked at each other with a worried expression. Sero and Denki beamed in anticipation for the drama that was about to unfold. And Katsuki was already up on his feet and headed towards you.
Shoto blinked out of his daze and looked at the angry blond charging towards him. You turned to see what he was looking at, only to be faced with a fuming Katsuki.
“Oh Kacchan, are you winning the card game?” You smiled kindly.
“No!” Kaminari snickered.
You giggled as Katsuki turned around to shout profanities at the yellow haired boy. He huffed and looked back at you. Shoto standing behind watching the interaction with narrowed eyes.
Katsuki’s eyes were contemplative and anxious, and his words explained why.
“You look really pretty.”
You blinked, heat rising to your face.
“O-oh thank you Kacchan,” you smiled at the unexpected compliment.
“Did you tell her she looks pretty?” Katsuki snarled, glaring at Shoto.
“Well I was going to-“
“Your don’t have to Sho-kun,” you said, uncomfortable from the situation unfolding infront of you. Shoto stepped past you and towards Katsuki.
“Well,it’s obvious why she looks so pretty. She’s going out with me tonight.” A slight smirk crept on Shoto’s lips as Kaminari and Sero let out an “ooooooo”.
“Shut up you half and half piece of-“
“OKAY!” You laughed nervously and stepped in between the two boys. They looked like they were steaming enough to cause the smoke alarms to go off. You pressed your hands against their chests and pushed distance between them.
“Both of you thats enough. I get it, I don’t look like the usual photo I do when I wear my sweats, but there’s no need to get all riled up.”
The boys with the card game sighed, your obliviousness taking hold once again. You pulled your hands away and looked up at Shoto.
“Ready to go? I don’t want to be late for the movie.”
He removed his glare and his face was filled with newfound softness. He nodded and gently took your hand in his. The unexpected gesture caused you to giggle at Shoto’s chivalry but it nearly made Katsuki blow the boy up to ash.
You waved at your friends and walked out with Shoto, swinging your hands and asking if they could order an appetizer at the restaurant. Which he replied to with an of course because Endeavor’s credit card was tucked happily inside of his wallet.
Katsuki glared as he watched the two of you walk out from the window. He growled, his gaze never ending. He was filled with rage and envy as he watched you jump excitedly and laugh.
“I’m going to ask Y/N-chan out for real and then I’m going to kill that icy-hot bastard.”

Pleasee bakugou and todoroki crushing on the same person omggg
ahh this is such an awesome request !! i had such a good time writing this so i hope you like it :)
when katsuki learns of the rumor that shoto likes you; all hell breaks loose
katsuki kinda gives himself away in terms to liking liking you when he confronts shoto about it
shoto doesn’t even care that katsuki is basically about to blow his head off
he’s more concerned that you may have heard that he likes you
once again, clueless shoto forgets that teenagers gossip
shoto continuously bombards him with threats whenever he gets
“i’m going to blow you to fucking bits if you even go near them”
“shit how do you even know about this”
it would escalate from threats to them just trying to outdo each other in front of you
shoto would bring you soba and tea and be super kind and ask you about your day
katsuki, on the other hand, was less direct, he would show off his quirk and skills in training, making sure you were watching
if either one of them sees you talking to the other, steam practically flies out of their ears
it basically becomes a cold war of who will ask you out first
however, they’re both too scared and don't and just threaten each other constantly while flirting with you simultaneously
