#I at least tried and see how my limit worked

Note
Good morning I am here to remind you all that Demyx is in fact the biggest loser in KH and if you vote against him you're objectively WRONG. This man is the ultimate failboy.
He blatantly cheats in his boss battle with the fucking water clone QTE and he still dies, and like can you even blame him for fighting dirty because he turned up on Weapon Assignment Day and they gave him a musical instrument. All the other Org members get to do this menacing slow walk coupled with unbroken eye contact when they approach Sora in battle, but nooo this clown has to stare at his plinky-plonky instrument of murder instead while walking towards you cause he has to play fucking Guitar Hero to fight.
And then he dies and Jiminy Cricket roasts him in his journal. This dumbass gets roasted by A BUG. AN ARTHOPOD. A LITERAL INSECT.
And he absolutely deserves the roasting because have you seen him in Days?? Nobody ever shuts up about how he's That One Coworker who absolutely refuses to ever do anything. And they're right, like do you know how many times he's seen standing in the break room (not counting cutscenes)? ONCE. ONE SINGULAR TIME. Otherwise he spends the entire game on that stupid angular sofa.
And the sidequests he gives you, my god. If he's not telling you to find some stupid treasure chests, he's all like "hey Roxas could you go scour every inch of Halloween Town for Heartless k thx bye", and if you for some reason decide to humor him and do his actual goddamn work for him? What does he give you in return? MORE FUCKING WORK. Like at least the other Org members have the decency to be like "hey well done, now you can do this extra mission that only super cool people are allowed to do" but not this idiot, oh no he LITERALLY TELLS YOU he's rewarding you for doing his job for him by MAKING YOU DO MORE FUCKING WORK FOR HIM. The Lion the Witch and the Audacity of this Bitch.
And there's this one point where he's like "hey Roxas please go to the Moogle and synthesize two potions together", bitch the game practically drowns you in potions and the Moogle is like ten feet away from where you're sitting, go do it yourself you lazy fuck.
AND he's fucking useless in multiplayer. His limit requires way too much effort and it's got such poor accuracy that it hits something maybe twice a week. And when he inevitably loses his loss animation on the results screen shows him falling out his stupid tall chair. smh Donald can do a whole stomping tantrum dance on the chair when he loses but this absolute walnut somehow manages to fall off when trying to punch the chair in frustration. Actual reality-defying failboy-ism.
OH AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT KH3 YET. He comes back because god knows why and manages to ruin Xehanort's plans because his SHEER INCOMPETENCE means nobody would ever think he'd be willing and/or able to do anything useful for anyone. And he steals a catchphrase from the early/mid-2000s KH fandom like this man could not be more cringe if he tried, and he definitely tries because my GOD have you seen that Re:Mind cutscene with him?? "see all the cool kids have one right" well you are neither of those things so why the fuck do you have one
Fucker doesn't even have a proper name yet. It's been almost 20 years and we still don't know what his real name is. If that's not loser behavior I don't know what is.
And it gets even worse if you consider the non-canon stuff! In the manga he's somehow even more of a failure, which shouldn't even be physically possible. For fuck's sakes he gets his ass handed to him by Pluto. PLUTO. THIS DUMB FUCK PICKS A FIGHT WITH MICKEY MOUSE'S DOG AND LOSES.
Meanwhile on the novel side of things we've got his Character Files short story (I think that counts as novel-adjacent but I digress), where it's implied he rejoined the Real Org because he wanted friends. This ABSOLUTE CALCIUM-DEFICIENT NINCOMPOOP joined a fucking apocalypse cult because that's the only way he could get friends?? and even that didn't work because all they do is roast him. My god we've truly reached a level of patheticness beyond the comprehension of the feeble human mind.
jfc I swear if I didn't love him with every single solitary cell in my body the mere thought of this idiot would make me cringe myself into the Shadow Dimension.

Ghosts & Medium Drabble - Morning After
I figured that after the angst I did before I should add something fun instead :3
This is right after the Banshee incident :D
*------------------------*
Cross frowns as he feels Dust shiver again. The small patches of ice on him still seem to grow and no amount of rubbing his arms seem to be able to keep it at bay.
They need to get back to his apartment. Cross knows a few old rituals but it works best to cast those on something to drink. A ritual to bring inner warmth. It is meant to comfort someone and warm soemone in the winter.
Cross hopes it will work against Banshee magic. He never... he never heard the other priests speak about banshee magic and how to treat it... How it affects a person.
He knows what spirit magic does to other spirits. He knows that the priests take careful care to cast divine spells of protection before dealing with one.
They hadn't know.
Who expects a Banshee?!
Cross glances over his shoulder as he watches Nightmare talk with the cult members in the distance. Horror is floating near Nightmare no doubt to hear what is being said while Killer and Ash are both right here by Dust and himself.
Killer groans "what is taking him so long?! We need to go!"
Ash is beside himself as he floats from side to side. anxiously glancing around as he mutters about rituals and ingredients. All while muttering about how spirits will notice the Banshee leaving. The empty area that has appeared is open to be claimed.
Cross frowns as he removes his own jacket to place around Dust over his normal hoody. He still feels cold to the touch. He picks him back up afterwards and tries to share his own bodyheat with Dust.
Cross realises he needs to say soemthing to Killer or risk the other doing something impulsive... and after seeing what he he is capable of he doesn't want to see what the other would do. "Ngihtmare is thinking long term. It would be very suspicious for Dust to leave without payment. We don't want the cult to know or even think that Dust wants something other than payment." this whole thing had been a plan to find information on the artifact that Nightmare wants. To repay the other for him helping Dust with Cross at Cross's request after Cross messed up.
In... a way this is Cross's fault... XGaster really was right... Cross jsut causes more trouble than he is worth-
Nightmare walks over "Done. We have the payment for Dust and they are none the wiser."
Killer groans "Finally lets go!" and he floats into the van as Ash looks anxiously at him and than Dust. Cross gives the spirit a gentle smile as he picks Dsut up.
Fuck he weights nothing... Cross had seen how unhealthy his diet is but he hadn't thought it would be this bad?! At least Horror is trying to get some better habbits into Dust to take better care of himself.
They enter the van and see Killer just stare at the wheel.
Nightmare hums as he taps his chin "I don't supose you know how to drive?" he glances at Cross.
Cross blinks "Of course I do?"
Nightmare looks pleased "Then you can drive."
There is just one small- honestly large issue. He looks back at Dust before looking back at the maybe demon? Dust never quite told them what he felt like he summoned and Nightmare never told them what he was... Cross just knows the other senses emotions and seems to eat emotions. Which is demon behaviour but isn't limited to just that kind of creature.
ngihtamre raises an eyebrow and Cross realises he was quiet for too long again "I euh... need my hands to drive..." he frowns back at Dust and sees that more ice formed and he quickly rubs the arms to get more warmth into the other.
Nightmare jsut stares at him for a moment as he slowly arches his brow. One of his normally hidden tentacles moves over to take Dust and Cross immediantly pulls Dust further away "Not wiht tentacles! He needs warmth!"
He doens't like the idea of Ngihtamre just holding Dust like a sack of potatoes! He needs to be careful!
Nightmare sighs but holds out his arms. Looking very unamused. Cross shoots him a look but carefully hands Dust over.
Ash looks deeply unhappy wiht this and goes over to Ngihtmare to tell him to 'hold him different!' and to 'support his spine better!' and most of all 'Rub his arms to warm him more!'.
But Cross needs to get them back to Dust's... Cross refuses to call it an apartment. It is a shithole and Cross can't beleive Dust just lives like that! Once this whole mess is over maybe Cross can convince him to at least live at the temple with him? The priests there are nice! They will probably be okay wiht Dust living there! That way he can safe up money as well and try to really get his feet back under him!
If... he wants... Dust seems content to wander... Hell the only reason he is even there as often now is because they all are with him and he needs aplace to plan instead of just... going from job to job with his van.
Something to consider later... Maybe he just doesn't like to stay at home because it is shit place?
Cross feels bad for thinking it. Dust is being nice and considerate wiht letting them all stay and trying to help Cross fix Cross's mistake... and here Cross is just thinking negatively about his place.
Talking about place... They are here.
Cross gets out and leads the way for Nightmare. Cross is happy to note they don't come across anyone... Cross has been noticing people shooting them all looks. He really hopes that doesn't bring issues to Dust later.
For now they get inside as Killer just opens the door. Right... Poltergeist... interacts easily with physical things. He just... never does it because Dust doesn't like him moving his things around...
Cross doens't have time to think about just how strong Killer is... Or the fact that Ngihtmare just declined Cross taking Dust back from him and instead calmly walks inside himself.
This is a mess.
This is such a mess.
horror looks at him "We are back... What now?"
Cross swallows as he speaks "I think it is most important he rests and warms up. I have a ritual that we used to do at the temple all the time. To help warm a person from inside. It is... more like a heightened tea than anything." more pressing "But well... Dust needs to also warm up form the outside. Best for that would be for him to take a bath or shower." But Dust is still out cold.
Ngihtmare however just looks unimpressed "That is all? That is a very simple solution. I will wash him while you prepare this tea-"
Killer growls as his target soul flashes as he leans clsoe to Nightmare "The fuck do you think you are planning?! You DON'T get to tocuh my mate like that!"
Ash glares at both 'Neihter of you are allowed that!"
Cross is unsure what to do. What does he say? he can't do this?!
Horror speaks over the other voices "Ice is getting worse."
It pauses the arguing between Ngihtmare and Killer as both glance down at Dust, who is still held in nightmare's arms. He is shivering and the ice is creeping up his neck and covers his shoudler now.
Shit.
Shit shit shit!
Nightmare frowns.
Killer glares at him "you can't even feel him getting cold! What makes you think you can even take care of him?! Make sure he is okay and warm?!"
Ngihtmare glares at Killer "Don't speak foolish assumptions about me spirit. You may not like what you learn."
Ash straight up yells out a loud shout of pure frustration. Stuff wiggles lightly as the light flickers. Weak compared to what strong spirits can do. But for a weak phantom? It is impressive.
Ash glares at them "Stop this! Either help my brother or leave." things shake again even as Cross sees the other flicker. Ash is using the little power he has. he is desperate.
Killer looks unhappy before glaring at Ngihtmare unhappy "Fine..."
Nightmare huffs as he leaves towards the bathroom. his now visible tendril grabbing a sweater and sweatpants from the ground in Dust's room.
horror looks at cross and mumbles "can you teach me how to make this... magic drink? It is best that more people know how it is made." Cross can see that both ash and killer followed Ngihtmare. No doubt to keep an eye on the maybe demon adn Dsut. Cross nods and goes towards the kitchen. He looks around around the kitchen and is happy to find a few spices. No doubt Dust's small stash for rituals to begin with.
okay. Time to make special tea. any flavour will do, as the flavuor just makes it easier to drink for the one needing it. The real magic is into infusing the energy and feeling of the right spices into the very essence of the tea.
It is one of the easiest things to learn. but a comfort and useful trick. Cross gets to work and explains each step to Horror. It is nice... in a way. knowing he is doing soemthing that will help Dust. knowing someone else is learnign about this.
It is quick work and Cross waits. knowing the tea will stay warm until it is consumed.
It is also a great trick to make a drink for yourself that you know will stay the right temperature...
In the end Killer comes back to tell them that they got Dust cleaned and his body at least a bit warmer.
Cross takes the drink and meets the others in his room. it is cramped. but Dust looks a bit better even if he still looks very pale. The small matrass is covered with three blankets and Cross is very sure dust only has two in his house. He suspects Killer for stealing more.
He is wearing sweatpants and a sweater now. a beanie on his skull to keep it covered. Cross can hear the old washer running in the background. Cross joins them and nightmare keeps dust upright as cross helps him drink the tea. it is slow work but luckily it works. Dust mumbles unhappily.
Cross laughs "Right sorry... you don't like cinnamon as flavour..." strange that he remembers that... they had been kids... way back... Cross mentioned once he liked cinnamon buns but that his father didn't let him eat them...dust showed up with one one day for cross... cross had tried to share but dust just told him he didn't care for the taste.
It was just... the easiest spice to use wiht the most effect. at least that he had available. Probably why Dust kept it around... it is one of the cheapest spices which can be used in most easy rituals.
At least dust is still sort of there and awake. that is good.
he finishes the tea nad it takes but a moment but some colour returns to his bones as his shivering stops.
Cross makes sure he is completely tugged in and warped up in the blankets. He checks the window for no draft and makes sure the curtains are drawn.
They leave the room and just take a moment...
And now... they wait...
It is up to Dust to wake up now.
*-------------------------*
his body feels sore... it is... cold...
He doesn't like the cold...
It is fine... there is always someone nearby who... Who is warm...
nightmare isn't warm to the touch... something about what he is... but cross, or at least cross's body, is warm. no matter who is in it...
He feels the blanket and follows along the surface of his bed under it... his hand searching for the other... retreating back when he feels soemthing cold...
Where... where are they? He is alone? Why is he alone? Don't they want to stay near anymore?
Why... why does that thought hurt?
He forces himself to open his eyes. Wake up. Don't think like... that... That is stupid...
Dust glances around and frowns. Just his room... lots of blankets though and he shivers. He pulls one tighter around him. strange... It is still warm out and while his apartment is shit it doens't get cold like this until it is winter...
He looks down adn frowns. That is the old knitted sweater he has... it has been an impulse buy when he was younger... He had been feeling low and sad and just miserable... so splurged a lot of money on this knitted sweater... It was soft and warm and he regretted spending that much money on it...
He doens't usually wear it... scared that it will get dirty or get ripped or soemthing...
Dust pulls the blanket tigher around him as he slowly gets up..
Fuck it is cold. Why is he so cold? He enver felt this cold? Well it does remind of him that fucking banshee-
The Banshee....
The cold magic that had clung to his very being, his very core, the magic that held him together.
He had struggled up the stairs...
He met the others... they had been searching for him?
And Killer...
Killer had....
His soul beats faster just remembering it and he shakes his skull.
What... what is wrong with him?! He should be worried! he should be stressed about doing something against the other! To make sure Killer won't hurt them!!
But he cna only focus on how... fast and strong he had been. How quickly he had moved to defend him!! How it hadn't been a battle at all... more of an execution...
He pauses before the door and tries to sense the magic and energy in the air.
It is... difficult. it is like trying to move a sore muscle. Trying to focus through a migraine. He can still sense them but it is all muddy... Seems like he lost more of his energy than he had thought...
But he can sense them... they are all still there... but quiet? That is new.
He opens the door and looks around. They are all staring at him. Dust blinks back and sees the slowly darkening sky through the window. So it is only a few hours after their trip? They were before lunch at the cult trap and-
"Dust!!" Ash floats over and stares at him "Are you oaky?! How are you feeling? Sit down! Are you still cold?!" he looks anxious.
Dust blinks but takes a seat at the obvious disstress of his brother. Cross is next to him and it takes longer than usual for Dust to spot who is inhabiting the body. Seems like it is still Cross. Cross checks his temperature and asks some questions.
Dust is still confused but answers them. Yes he still feels cold but not as bad as when they were near the Banshee. He is still a bit tired but feels awake enough. His senses are still dulled as well.
Cross looks very worried "I think she ate a chunk of your life force and life energy... I... I am not sure... We would need to ask other priests."
Ash sounds panicked as he tries to plan but before he can even think off an answer Nightmare grabs his face and turns him to face him.
Ngihtmare studies his face and nudged parts os his skull and near his sockets. What... waht does Dust do? What is he doing?! Dust isn't sure what to do or what is going on? What is the other even doing-
Ngihtmares sockets glow a brihgt cyan for a moment as he continues to stare at him. He hums and slowly turns Dusts skull this and that way. Next the summoned being looks around the room before taking his hand. He checks the joints there.
Ngihtmare hums as he lets go and nods. the cyan colour disappears "You are weaker and some of your life force and energy has been taken correct. However your core and soul are not affected by this predicement. You will recover your lost energy with time and rest."
Dust blinks dumbfounded as Cross sputters "How do you know that?! Us priests can't even do that unless we have much training and practise!? How did you just... see that!? So quickly!? seeing someones core and energies isn't just something you can do?!" Cross stares in shcok.
Ngihtmare looks rather amused "It is part of what I am. It is hardly more complex than that."
Cross sputters "It is!! It doe smatter as it is divine magic! It is an ability reserved for those who are of the divine nature!"
Nightmare just continues to look at him amused "I am sure you will figure it out very soon."
Dust stares in shock. A fallen... A Fallen... Divine...
He... he is a ...
"You are an angel."
Nightmare's smile grows as he gives a half shrug "Even if they are unhappy with me. They can't change what I am. Exile however is possible." he sounds so amused.
Ash figured it out to "An angel... you are a fallen angel.. That is why you are only known as the Fallen..."
Nightmare nods "Indeed. Now." he gets up "Dust. yOu should rest more. Unless you are still feeling cold. In that case you should start with taking a shower. Cross, after you closed your mouth, prepare more of that tea for him. It should help him warm up." He looks to the side "Horror. you mentioned you had some leftovers for him to warm up and eat?"
Horror nods and mentions he saved all the leftovers.
Dust blinks "I... what?"
Ngihtmare looks back at him "You slept for 26 hours straight. From what I know of mortals that is well beyond the time they need to eat and drink. which you will do first. After that we make sure the Banshee's Breathe doesn't keep freezing you. then you go back to bed to rest and make sure you recover your energy." He nudges Dust back fully on the sofa as he walks towards the kitchen, listening to Horror to hear where the food is and starts warming things up.
cross is still shocked but rushes to make some sort of ritual tea? Dust can already smell the cinnamon and thinks he remembers drinking something warm with that taste? he still doens't enjoy it...
He glances to the side and sees Killer floating beside him. Looking right at him. Staring.
The confusing mess of feelings return... remembering how he moved and attacked.. he was strong...
Dust isn't sure what to do as he pulls the beanie closer around his skull.
Killer tilts his skull at him "You really fine?" he frowns as he pouts "Sorry i didn't get there earlier. Stupid nightmare said it was better to remain as a group or risk someone else getting lost who we would need to find." he pouts at him "I wanted to go straight after you through the floor! But nightmare stopped me!" he blinks "Oh right! nightmare's tendrils? Thsoe things we can see but others don't? Yeah. They can touch ghosts! but only when he wants to. Which is a rip off honestly! Like. It is unfair that he can deside to grab me to keep me from following you but I can't just poke him right near the center to annoy him? It is rude and unfair and-"
"Thank you..."
Killer blinks and stares a thim. Dust just feels more embarrassed but pushes through it... it is only fair... and... well... "You... did save us... thank you." there. He said it.
Killer fucking cheers and floats through him!! Dust shivers and glares "What the hell?"
Kilelr pouts "I wanted to hug you!! Cross! Crossy!! let me borrow the bdoy!" and he floats over to cross.
Cross yelps "Killer! I am doign a ritual stop distracting me!"
"Crossy don't be greedy! I wanne hug Dusty! Let me go hug my mate!"
Dust groans as he covers his face.
Why doe shis face feel warm? and why doesn't that statement bring annoyance anymore?
It is... probably because he is still disbalanced after the Banshee attack... Yeah... that is it... it is fine.. It will be fine.

A compilation of E-Soul's suits: Part 6
Sorry it took so long! My college semester is finally out which means I actually have the time to update this now- the last couple weeks got really busy. It's wild looking back on the old posts now and seeing just how much changed past episode 5! Before we dive into episodes 6+ in the thread, some things I somehow missed in the previous posts: Trailer 1 (going off of the Crunchyroll trailers) had this E-Soul, which specifically seems to be the suit that Shang Chao made!
Tumblr media
I also somehow managed to miss adding the E-Soul cameos in episode 3, so here they are now! First, the 2d style from the file visuals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then the 3d cameo. (It is VERY hard to get a clear screenshot of him here with how quickly he moves)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also wanted to revisit the PV for a minute- upon 10000 more rewatches in a much slower speed I noticed you actually can see the gold highlights on his suit! It's just incredibly hard to notice when watching at a normal speed because of the black fog only clearing away at the very last second, and it only shows in these close-up shots. After finishing E-Soul's arc (and watching this PV more than any sane person would) my current running theory based off of the time of day the PV starts and ends at and when the E-Souls' fight begins is that this PV takes place right before the battle, with Old E-Soul reflecting on his past while waiting for a battle to begin that he knows he won't survive.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alright, moving past the things I missed and onto episodes 6 and beyond! The first glimpse we get at anything new costume wise is Shang Chao working on the new glove upgrade. Of course, this appearance doesn't last long since it's just a prototype.
Tumblr media
At the end of the episode we get the full suit reveal!
Tumblr media
We also get to see a bunch of suit pieces in the workshop that Shang Chao was working on, and of course he tries on the helmet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And we, uh, get a field test to see how effective the helmet is. Let's call it that.
Tumblr media
Episode 7 is where we get to see more of Yang Cheng wearing the costume, and we get this really nice detail shot of the gloves.
Tumblr media
And a really nice turnaround of Old E-Soul for all the old man enjoyers out there!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And a close up of the Old E-Soul mask! I'm a huge fan of the subtle screentones and other textures you can find here.
Tumblr media
Yeah... I fear this post is for the dilf lovers and the dilf lovers only. Come get your juice, y'all.
Tumblr media
I can not even describe how much I ADORE this transition from 3d to 2d by the way, it scratches my brain in a way I can't put into words.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this is where shit starts to get real, so I am sitting down and preparing to spend a half hour or so screenshotting and sorting all of the damage to each costume in the E-Souls' battle. Needless to say, that will put me FAR past the image limit if I put it in this post, so that will be in part 7! Edit: Half an hour of screenshotting has turned into over an hour, and unfortunately it is 4am so I need to get some sleep, so part 7 will come in the next couple days! I have all the screenshots at least, but I just can't stay up much longer to organize them and type out post commentary, so that will have to wait for now.
A compilation of E-Soul's suits: Part 1
*Not including official art since that's easy to find, this is mostly a masterpost on different costumes and where they can be found in the series up to this point (episode 5) and a bit of speculation along the way. Spoilers of course.
To start off, Inertia. There are two distinct E-Souls in the opening- the blue one which is YC (if it's not then the PVs sure are fucking with us) and the gray one who is the "original" E-Soul (in quotes because who knows how many there may potentially be. For the sake of the post, the guy with the missing arm/the "original" in reference to YC will be referred to as such.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kontinuum - it's actually a bit hard to tell. The grayscale filter doesn't help much, and the helmet shape doesn't seem to match up with the others. A lot of the time it can be difficult to tell if the different shapes are purposeful or design/consistency errors with how complex his design is especially when cross referencing between 2D and 3D. The loss of an arm would have me lean towards the original, but the build and coloration leans more heavily towards YC. Then again, it's possible it's someone else entirely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since Tumblr likes to limit the amount of images in a post, there will be more in the reblogs c:

Knowing that the Spongebob crew doesn't know what to do with Sandy because they find her unfunny hence why she's been used less and less throughout the seasons.

I have like an unusual amount of dad!asks in my inbox rn, and they’re all sauve/responsible types, but what about your goofy guys? The ones that complain about “the ol’ ball n chain” at work only hours before worshipping you with a level of husbandry that can only be taught through backbreaking cuddle deprivation?? IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM SHUT UP (reader is implied afab- talk of “your” kids. Maybe he gets pregnant idk)
Husband!Ace HATES doing dishes with every fiber of his being, but he also likes getting fed.. Decisions, decisions,, Very into the “good cop/bad cop” routine. He’s good cop, obviously, but he sucks up after every tantrum you handle with the same puppy eyes he shares with your runt. It’s especially effective after he cuts out alcohol for fear of your kiddie getting high off of more than just life, and he gets hottttttttttt,,, Totally a neighborhood dilf- You’re guarding him like a particularly sexy discount, and he loves it <3 If you have more than one kid he makes a joke of “running out of options”. Naturally, he names the kid after Riddle for the bit. It backfires so completely that everyone’s calling him some kind of angel, and Riddle 1.0 contributes to the fucking college fund. His life couldn’t be worse if he tried.. At least his spouse’s still hot <3
Husband!Ruggie in two words. Grill. dad. And he looks good doing it! He’s literally living the dream,, Stable job, loving marriage, and just enough kids to keep him busy well enough into retirement- If you’re looking for anything productive being done on the weekend, you won’t find it at the Bucchi house. He’s done his time, but he’s always excited to ignore work emails! The fridge is fully stocked, and at your insistence he’s way too involved in HOA politics. The two of you are also totally couple goals- All your friends can agree the Bucchi’s are the people to call for birthdays. The only issue your kids ever have are overeating and toy theft.. Wonder where they got that from? (DAD BOD RUGGIE DAD BOD RUGGIE UGHHHHH)
Husband!Floyd’s just thankful you didn’t accept his proposal in Highschool,, He can admit he wouldn’t have been a good partner then, and that’s okay, because he makes up for it now. He works remote, always snacking and in range of his shrimpy for bad days- Plenty of cuddling, and so much clinging it’s rare to see either of you alone in public. He immediately attaches to your kids the same way- always sleeping in their rooms and kissing on their baby faces,, despite how hard he worked to get the big family he’s wanted, I imagine you probably had to go through IVF or surrogacy for any success on account of biological differences. This really shows in their childhood before it’s safe to take any transformation potions,, It’s torture to just observe the baby from outside their aquarium, but Floyd’s present enough for two until they’re old enough for a whole new world <3
¡Bonus!
Husband!Epel’s the only teenage dad on the list, and you guys got hitched QUICK after meemaw chewed him out for reckless sex- Even if it got her the perfect in-law. Gets all muscular after college, and keeps you whipped with those hip muscles that make a V. Ends up having more little girls than he knows what to do with. They all play winter sports at their dad’s behest, and he damn near shoots any boyfriends on the property. 7/10
Husband!Idia gets to live the housewife dream- Gaming pc next to your work computer, and a full 30 minutes of blissful silence when your little power naps after hours of Daddy plays! and Freakin’ bots!!,, He had to quit swearing when the baby started mumbling less than pg first words, but they fist bump when kiddie can avoid getting grounded by “the final boss”- So all thing’s considered, your player 3’s not so bad after all. (He’s still mourning the loss of his limited edition “Magic Rumimi- Sakura dreamscape” figurine, but give him a couple years and it’ll blow over.) 8/10
Husband!Lilia’s never been able to get this vulnerable with anyone. EVER. He’s working on it with his own kids, but it’s much harder to communicate with a toddler, especially when half-fae aging is SO sporadic. They’ll both have to watch you age, but your light never dims, and he’s getting all the pictures he can! Your baby/ies grow up in a home so full of love it’s embarrassing, and there’s always memories to look back on fondly of time well spent <3 10/10

Nonsexual Dominance with SKZ
wc» 1.1k
cw» gender neutral, d/s dynamics, dom!skz & sub!reader, trad!minho, sfw but some people might see some things as controlling or toxic- it's not meant to be and this is based off a MUTUAL agreement + set boundaries. if you dont like dont interact <3
txt version
DO NOT republish or translate+post my work!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝙱𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚗
Makes you send him food pics regularly. On days where you genuinely don't want to, he won't push it, but for the most part he enforces it and will be upset if you don't send a pic. And this is only really because it means you didn't eat.
He loves it not only for the obvious reason of watching over you even when he's not around, but also because it reminds him to also eat. All those hours in the studio blur and it's only a matter of time before he completely loses track of time- but you and your meals are there to remind him :)
𝙻𝚎𝚎 𝙺𝚗𝚘𝚠
Ok hear me out, traditional husband!minho... If you don't want it, he won't push it but it works so well,,, If it's far enough into the relationship that the trust comes naturally, he'd sit you down to discuss your opinions on you staying at home all day and quitting your job and putting all the financial burden on him- because he wants that responsibility. He wants to take care of you so extremely.
The pleasure dom in him comes out specifically outside of the bedroom. He absolutely loves cooking for you and spoiling you with extravagant dinners & expensive gifts, and he loves just holding you close just because he can, but he expects you to do everything else in the house- or at least most of it. While he's willing to compromise certain chores, he wants to come home to the house being clean and clothes being washed and all that.
But he always makes it worth your while and spoils you rotten :( Cuddles you until you're absolutely sick of him (not) and tries to take you out on regular dates to spoil you (like while shopping at the mall or taking you out to a nice dinner)
𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚋𝚒𝚗
Might sound kind of weird but hear me out- him telling you "no." I think Chris is one that would love to do this but has NO self control and therefore can't bring himself to unless he absolutely has to lol. But Changbin thrives off of it.
Don't get him wrong- he looves to spoil you. But he also loves that little spark in your eyes when you bat your eyelashes at him so prettily and ask him for something- only for you to get a gentle but firm "no" that makes your bottom lip puff out. & It's not that he doesn't want you to have whatever this thing is, it's more so that he knows there's a limit to being spoiled and no matter how much he loves you, you both need an occasional humbling- and he feels like you both could use a soft reminder of who let who have all the control
He'll always make up for it with sweet kisses and maybe a little tickling to make your pout go away, but his chest puffs out a little every time he gets to tell you "no"
𝙷𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚓𝚒𝚗
Is the kind to having his hand on your body at all times, if you're more than an arms length away from him you'll be getting a certain look that discreetly reads "Get over here now." Sometimes will even curl his finger up in your direction- doesn't care if somebody is watching or even if he's in the middle of talking/an important conversation
He just likes to have you close, and he knows he needs that mental grounding that you offer more often than not. He's just confident about needing it, so he's not afraid to show everybody how much he loves you and needs you by his side
That being said, he will lead you around malls, museums, grocery stores, or hell even the other boy's apartments all with his hand either intertwined with yours or on some part of your body (usually your lower back) that lets him guide you around.
𝙷𝚊𝚗
He felt a little awkward at first bringing this up to you, but now that it's become a regular part of your routine, he lives for these moments: he loves when you sit pretty on his lap and shave his face for him. It's gotten to the point where he will refuse to shave himself at all for weeks on end if you aren't able to do it for him.
It makes him feel a bit more dominant than it should? considering he will see you have free time and point out that he needs a shave- which usually has you dropping everything to go do it for him. But he also sees it as him being loyal to you and you having an equal amount of "control" on his life. (Also you will catch him dead before you catch him complaining about his lover sitting in his lap for any amount of time lol)
Generally just domestic little acts of service that let him "command" you while also letting you have control over his life (that's really only obvious to you two, but that's more than enough for him)
𝙵𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚡
Doesn't realize he likes it right away, but he loves to talk for you with strangers. He loves to order your food for you, order your coffee for you (sometimes even mobile ordering it so you don't have to talk to people if he's not available), carrying your clothes for you while you shop and being the one talking at the cash register- stuff like that.
Not only does this scratch that little dom itch in the back of his head because he's taking care of you while still being in "charge", but it also allows him to spoil the hell out of you with you knowing how much money he's spending on you lol. You get to sit pretty at his side and look at/play with the little trinkets by the register while he drops literal hundreds on you with a smile on his face.
𝚂𝚎𝚞𝚗𝚐𝚖𝚒𝚗
Sorry not sorry but he loves his non sexual punishments. No matter what you do in or out of the bedroom, he can and will find a way to punish you for it without having to lay a finger on you.
One of his favorites is making you write a sentence down over and over again. Kinda cliché "teacher" punishment but it usually gets his point across and prevents you from acting out (for like a week max lol). If he's particularly annoyed at you/frustrated he will make you write it in Korean & wont translate it for you more than once lol.
Another one he really likes is making you kneel on the floor instead of on the couch. He's not really huge on forbidding you from watching tv unless you want him to go that far, but you're not gonna be allowed to sit on the soft, comfy couch- you're gonna be kneeling on the floor, most likely by his leg so you can still cuddle up to him (he'll grant you a small pillow if it's a longer punishment)
𝙸.𝙽
Jeongin loves picking your outfits and your accessories for you. He's not usually too dominant out of the bedroom otherwise, and it's very rare that he is, but this is the main way he is.
Even before you two lived together, he would text you a grossly sweet good morning message and would include a comment about how you should send him a few outfits for him to choose from you to wear. But now that you guys are living together, he takes it upon himself to pick out an outfit for you while you're still in bed or in the bathroom waking up.

Thinking about Steve and Eddie when they first get together. Steve worries because they are so different and is afraid Eddie will think he is boring. He throws himself into all of Eddies interests and hobbies and one day it all boils over.
Steve knew he was going to get a migraine that day the minute he woke up. He could feel it in the way his jaw was clenched and his head was already aching. But tonight was important, Eddie had a gig at the hideout and he had to be there. He’d listened to Eddie give passionate grandiose speeches about becoming famous one day and how music was his passion, his life. So Steve popped an ibuprofen drank and extra glass of water and went to work.
Keith wasn’t in so he kept the lights off in the store as long as the sun allowed him, then wore sunglasses as he vacuumed under the flickering florescent lights. By the time he clocked out his head was pounding and he could feel his pulse in his sinuses. But he just took another ibuprofen, kept the sunglasses on and drove to the hideout.
By the time he made it Corroded coffin was 10 minutes away from starting so he had no chance to see Eddie. Instead he tucked himself away in a booth at the back of the bar with a water. He took the few minutes he had to pop in some earplugs and rest his eyes, praying and hoping to all hope he could just make it through Eddie’s set.
When the bands name was called Steve’s eyes popped open. He was greeted with aura’s all around wherever he looked no matter how hard he tried to blink them away. He tried giving his head a shake and immediately regretted it, slumping down in the booth and clutching his hair as he waited for the pain to reverberate its way through his skull.
He just needed to make it through Eddie’s set then he could go home and lay in the dark, sleep it off. He couldn’t disappoint Eddie he had to be there. He clutched the table and he forced himself up and out of the booth, using chairs for balance as he stumbled his way as far into the crowd as he could. Each bump against him sent shocks of pain bouncing through his head but he kept going as far as his feet would take him, finally stopping when he his steps stuttered and he couldn’t catch his breath anymore.
And after all that what did it was the first tap of Eddie’s finger against the mic sending ear splitting feedback through the speakers. Steve crumpled like his strings had been cut, his knees slamming against the sticky bar floor as he went down.
The next thing Steve knows he’s laying on a couch, someones hands are in his hair massaging his scalp and all the lights are off.
“Whu?” He makes to get up but the hands in his fair stop him, along with a familiar voice.
“Lay back down baby.” Eddie spoke softly, and he coaxed Steve into laying back down. “You went down pretty hard and its going to hit you soon”
“M’sorry.” Steve mumbled feeling his face go hot. “Please tell me you at least played?”
“Oh god no, the minute you went down I hopped off that stage and hauled you back here, I could tell what it was from the sunglasses and earplugs.” Eddie kept his voice gentle and his fingers continued to move, migrating down to Steve’s temples.
This was horrible Steve had ruined it all, he could feel the tears begin to sting his eyes. “God I’m so sorry.” Steve sat up, resisting Eddie’s gentle attempts to lay him back down. “I- please.” His voice broke, his hands flew up into his hair right where’s Eddie’s had been but his grip was much less soothing. “Please I swear I didn’t mean to. I can make it through concerts and shows, I don’t even get migraines all that often.” He began to plead, his eyes wild as they leaked tears, straining to make out Eddie’s face in the limited light from a crack in the door. “Just please don’t dump me, I swear this just it was bad timing on my part. Please don’t dump me Eddie.” Steve’s sobbing was adding to his headache but he was too far past it all to care, the sinking feeling of his heart in his stomach was more prevalent anyways.
Even in the limited light of the room Steve could see Eddie’s brows furrowing. He opened his mouth again, ready to beg and plead some more but one of Eddie’s hands coming up and gently cupping his face stopped him in his tracks. His mouth snapping shut when Eddie’s thumb reached up to wipe his tears away.
“Honey you need to slow down, and breathe.” Eddie instructed calmly, his free hand coming up to rest against Steve’s chest. “Nobody is leaving nobody so breathe for me okay?”
Steve followed the movements of Eddie’s shaded body , sinking the flex and release of his ribs and stomach to the outline of Eddie’s.
“I’m sorry.” Steve whispered again once his heart was no longer racing and he could breathe on his own again. He couldn’t meet Eddie’s eyes though, and only did when a warm calloused finger tipped it up.
“You have nothing to apologize for baby, why don’t you tell me why you’re so worried about me dumping you though?” Eddie’s head tilted, his hands roaming up and down Steve’s arms slowly.
“We’re just so different and I’m so scared you’re gonna wake up one day and realize you could be so much happier with someone more like you. So I started getting into all your hobbies to show you I can be interesting too.” Steve felt stupid now that he had to admit it out loud.
“Oh baby, I like that we are so different. You don’t have to be anyone but who you are, because thats the Steve that I like. And for the record I’d never be upset at you missing a show for Migraine by the way.” Eddie ducked his head to the side to catch Steve’s eyes.
“But music is so important to you, it’s your passion!” Steve tried to protest.
But Eddie shook his head, his hands migrating up to cradle Steve’s face. “Yes but, Stevie baby hear me when I say this; I love you, I would never ask you to hurt yourself for me, that’s incredibly selfish thats not what love is.”
“I- really, your sure its okay I won’t always be able to come? Even when you’re rich and famous?” Steve questioned his heart still not believing it.
“Of course honey! If anything all the money I make being rich and famous will be used to spoil you anyway. I’ll get you any and all help for your migraines too. We are a team baby.” Eddie pulled Steve into his chest.
Steve instantly melted into the embrace, clutching at Eddie’s clothes and he rocked the two of them, one hand back in Steve’s hair to try and distract from the migraine.

Dad!Ren and his daughter Shayla (My OC fankid!!!)
FINALLY, after some hard work i represent to you.. My OC Shayla! Shayla is based on the official cutiesigh artwork with AU Dad!Ren. This post will have all the basic info about her so far + some headcanons about Ren's family life and his relationship with Shayla. So it's going to be a kinda? long post! I've put a lot of work and love into these arts. Enjoy :3
Redacted holding Shayla!! and their very different reactions
Tumblr media
They're just having a bit of a nap on the sofa after Shayla painted Ren's face... and Shayla is drooling on dad's soft chest😭 (kind of inspired?? by this post!)
Tumblr media
Her reference:
Tumblr media
BASIC INFO
Clarification: in my AU, where there is Shayla, Redacted doesn't pretend to be Ren, but acts naturally! But I use both names in the text
Shayla is a kind, naive, sincere, energetic and cheerful girl who is always looking for adventure. But often, due to her age, her trusting nature and her curiosity, she doesn't always understand the risks and ends up in various messes. The girl is very friendly to everyone she meets! She believes that the world is a kind and beautiful place! Some kids think that Shayla is strange and weird (at least because of her "weird" family), which is why she gets mocked, but she doesn't read social cues (she's kinda autistic coded).
Likes: creative activities (drawing, needlework, sewing (not very wearable yet), making different outfits, daddy's jewelry, laughing, getting up early, climbing trees.
Dislikes: being controlled and restricted, rudeness, social games (she doesn't understand them).
She is the only and most wanted child for Ren and Angel, they had her when they were 30-35 years old. They love her very much!! Thanks to Ren, the family is very wealthy! Redacted spoils her a lot, fulfills all her wishes (well, as much as possible, since it's all after Angel, of course). In Shayla's family, both parents work, but Ren does it from home like he used to. So while Angel is at work, Redacted spends most of his time with their daughter. He picks her up from school, takes her to classes, goes for walks with her + does the housework, cooks, etc (basically he's a stay-at-home dad, because I don't think he needs to spend half a day on hacking; a couple of three hours is enough). With the birth of Shayla, Ren has begun to keep an eye not only on Angel, but also on their daughter, though not as closely. Thanks to this, he manages to get the girl out of trouble in time, but he often arrives at the very last moment.
Shayla is very attached to her father, she thinks he is the coolest dad in the world!!! She loves spending time with him, as well as his dark style and tattoos! She is a daddy's girl :))
While Angel is undoubtedly still Ren's top priority, Redacted genuinely loves his daughter both as an affirmation/continuation of their love with Angel AND for who she is. Her cheerful nature often lifts his spirits. Now, he has another person in his life who helps him see the world through a different, less apathetic and indifferent lens. Ren sees how naive and kind his daughter is and protects her to keep that light in her. And when Shayla comes up with questionable ideas… He supports her! He even suggests something himself😭 BUT even he has limits. He will not do anything that might harm her.
(pretty much everything canon about how Sai describes Dad!Ren)
RANDOM FACTS AND HEADCANONS:
I named her after that meme OOHH MY SHAYLAAA😭 (I didn't have a name for her at first, so I just called her that in my mind for a while. It was actually quite funny to me… but eventually it started to grow on me, ngl, so I kept it)
You know those stories where a kid goes into their mom's makeup bag, purse, or closet and tries on something? In this case, mom is Ren💀 Shayla loves to find all kinds of alt stuff from Redacted, ask what it is, and then try it on herself! Redacted gave her some - a spiked bracelet and a silver chain!
Ren agrees to paint Shayla's nails. She wears all the colors of the rainbow, but she likes to keep all her nails black on one hand, though!
Thanks to the creative atmosphere in the family and Redacted's alternative style, Shayla will be a goth in the future! She's also going to become an alt-clothing designer.
She is wearing three of the five gold hairpins that Ren used to wear! When Redacted and Angel got married, he started wearing only two hairpins - a symbol of their relationship. Years later, when Shayla was born and grew up, the rest of the hairpins were inherited to her, and she wears them with great pride, just like the rest of her dad's jewelry.
Shayla also has her dad's features. She has pale, dry skin and black hair. However, her eyes are a unique combination of Ren's color (blue) + my Angel's (red) = creating a beautiful purple color for her.(I know that's not how gynetics works lmaoo I just think it's cute!!!)
aaaand also, @yzumimenu drew some amazing fanart of Shayla, LOOK AT HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND TY SO MUCH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the cullens with a reader who isn't the best at showing emotions so their way of showing love is by biting? Like not hard but gently.
BTW I love your writing, keep up the good work 💞
The Cullens with a reader who bites
Thank you for the kind words! And I definitely relate to this prompt. But with my cat. Like cuteness aggression is real and I’m a victim. Petting her isn’t enough I need to eat her yk
Anyways thank you for requesting and I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Edward:
He understands a little bit
He can hear the thoughts in your head, he sees how much they overwhelm you
It happened the first time when he was over at your house for a movie date
He was wearing casual clothes, a hoodie and some sweatpants
He wanted to make sure you had something soft to lay your head on
But something happened when you saw him in the hoodie
Your mind lit up, fireworks going off, sprinkled with phrases of how “cute” he looked and how you wanted to crawl into his skin
He called you over to him and let you squeeze him as hard as you wanted, but it still wasn’t enough
He could hear the frustration in your mind about how you were still unsatisfied
He was about to suggest climbing into his hoodie with him when he felt you bite down on his bicep
He was shocked to say the least
But you know what, at least it helped
He tries to limit how much you can bite him in public, but when it’s just the two of you, he lets you do what you want
He’s an enabler, what can I say
Tumblr media
Alice:
She didn’t even see it coming the first time
Which is rare for her
You were sitting on her bed with your eyes closed since Alice had a gift she wanted to give to you
You opened your eyes and saw a bracelet made of brown, gold and *insert your eye color here* beads
On her wrist was a matching one
You sprang up and tackled her in a hug immediately
You both would have fallen if she didn’t have inhuman strength
But hugging her wasn’t enough
So you bit her
She felt a pressure on her right shoulder, just above where her shirt ended, right on her skin
She didn’t know what it was until she felt the heat and faint wetness
She thought it was tears to be honest
So she was definitely shocked when she pulls you back and sees your mouth wide open and your eyes perfectly dry
“… did you just bite me?”
“…no…”
“You’re so silly”
She lets you bite her as much as you want
It’s not like it affects her
Just so long as you don’t get drool on her clothes
Tumblr media
Jasper:
He can also feel how strong your emotions are
He’s never felt someone who feels things so strongly
Honestly, he’s surprised you can even live a normal life
One day you’re just sitting on the couch, playing on your phone while a movie plays on the tv
Suddenly, your phone starts to jostle a little bit
You look and see Jasper putting a charging cable into your phone
“What’s that for?”
“Your battery was getting pretty low, figured you could use some charge”
And like nothing even happened, he goes back to playing mobile games on his phone
You become so overcome with emotion, so much love just fills your body
He can feel your emotions start to fry, threatening to overflow
He’s about to send some calmness your way when he feels you chomp down onto his forearm
He’s so shocked he doesn’t even move
You quickly unlatch, moving away and apologizing, but he just smiles
“It’s alright, darling. I’d rather have your teeth marks here than the ones I’ve got now”
So charming
Tumblr media
Rosalie:
The day of Prom is here
You didn’t want to go, but you would never deny Rosalie a chance to dress up
So that’s how you found yourself here, fully dressed and waiting on Rosalie to finish getting her hair and makeup done
You hear her heels click towards the closed door and turn your eyes as it creaks open
There stands Rosalie, beautiful golden hair pulled into an intricate updo, her makeup perfectly accentuating her natural beauty, and a dark red dress that sweeps the floor
You just couldn’t contain yourself
You latch onto her, biting into her exposed shoulder
She yelps out of shock, definitely not expecting that
You try to walk away and pretend it didn’t happen, but she’s not one for that
She has similar rules to Alice, only no biting her in public
She loves that you love her so much that you can’t contain it
That’s what she’s always wanted after all
Overall, though, she doesn’t mind
Just seriously, don’t mess with the clothes
Tumblr media
Emmett:
He was literally just sitting there
Like not doing anything, sitting on the couch, watching a movie that you had put on
You had gotten up to get some more popcorn and had to just pause to take him in
He looked so cute bundled up in the couch, your favorite blanket thrown around him from earlier
You set the popcorn down on the table and leaped at him
He didn’t even get a chance to react
Suddenly you were on top of him, your arms wrapped in a vice grip around his throat, your legs fully koala-ed around his middle
You were kissing every single surface on his face, whispering how cute he looked and how much you love him in between
He was giggling like a little girl, his face would be beet red if he could still blush
When suddenly he feels your teeth on his shoulder
“Pump the brakes there, piranha, what’s that for?”
“Sorry Em, I just love you so much I can’t control myself”
“Damn, do I at least taste good?”
He thinks it’s hilarious
He calls you his little snapping turtle
Tumblr media
Esme:
She’s confused
She just asked what you wanted for dinner and now your teeth are in her arm
She doesn’t even shake you off she just kind of stands there
Like uhm are you okay?
You’re gonna need to explain to her why you did that
And afterwards she just laughs
She doesn’t fully understand, but that’s okay cause she also just doesn’t care
If it makes you happy then it makes her happy
She’ll let you bite her but with limitations
No biting in public
No biting her hair (not that you would anyway)
No biting her so hard that you hurt yourself
And she’ll eventually tell you to ease up after a while
“Darling? You’ve been there for a couple minutes now, you want to stop for a second please?”
Overall she’s confused but tries not to intervene
If this is what you need to do to express your love then go for it
Tumblr media
Carlisle:
He’s only ever been bitten once
And that wasn’t a very pleasant experience to say the least
So it’s the last thing he expects you to do
But let’s be honest, how could you resist?
He had rolled up the sleeves to his sleek button up, flipping through pages of his old medical books, looking for a specific article he wanted to show you
By now you’ve completely forgotten what you even asked him about
You just leaned in slowly and bit into his forearm, your teeth sinking in slightly to the strong muscles there
“… are you hungry?”
Genuinely confused
You can try to explain as much as you want, he’s still going to research it later
He doesn’t have very many rules as far as this goes
If you wanna bite him, then go for it
He thinks it’s a nice, fun thing
And it shows how much you love him
Everyone enjoys a nice ego stroke now and then
Tumblr media
Vampire! Bella:
She’s definitely felt cuteness aggression before
But never with another person
She was just sitting there helping you do your homework and you just.. bit her
“Did you just bite me?”
“…. No….”
“You’re a liar”
She doesn’t actually mind
She’s just so confused
She still envisions herself as that plain-looking clumsy girl
Like wdym SHES the one making you feral?
But she is flattered
Absolutely does NOT let you pull that shit in public tho
She’s still too shy for that
You’re gonna need to put a pin in it till you guys get home
But once you’re there… she still has limits
She’s not a big pda person
Or a big physical touch person
She’s like a cat
She’s okay with it for a little bit but too much and she needs you to stop
Think like one or two bites a day
Any more than that and she gets squirmy

Do you think you could write an Aizawa x fem reader who is a new teacher and her quirk is having cat like qualities like night vision, sharper nails, quiet walking, excellent balance etc. and she also has cat ears and a tail?
(If she can have an “orange cat” personality as well that would be wonderful. If not I understand and I’m sorry,I’m not sure if I did this correctly I’m still trying to figure out how to word things correctly)
A/N: Hi Lovely! No problem at all, I hope you like it!! I wasn't sure if you wanted it in a romantic context or not but it did end up going that way, if you don't like that though let me know and I can make changes :)
Tumblr media
The Stray That Stole His Heart
Shota Aizawa had always been a man of patience.
A man of routine, discipline, and quiet solitude.
So naturally, when Nezu had announced a new hire at U.A., he had assumed nothing would change.
But then you arrived.
And Aizawa quickly realized that nothing would ever be the same again.
The first time Aizawa met you, it was during the faculty meeting, and he immediately knew two things:
You had cat ears and a tail, which made an impression on everyone in the room.
You were completely unpredictable.
It wasn’t just your quirk—which, admittedly, was impressive. Enhanced agility, night vision, sharp reflexes, and an uncanny ability to move so quietly that even he—someone who had trained himself to be hyper-aware—could barely hear you coming.
No, it was your personality that truly caught him off guard.
You were chaotic, to say the least.
Unfiltered, playful, mischievous—with a penchant for getting into trouble just for the fun of it.
An orange cat in human form.
And it drove him insane.
But what was worse?
It also fascinated him.
From the very first week, you had made it your personal mission to test his limits.
You frequently showed up late to meetings, claiming you got “distracted by something shiny.”
You napped in the most inconvenient places—on top of file cabinets, across the teachers’ lounge couch, even once on top of Aizawa’s desk (which had earned you the deadliest glare of his life).
You stole his coffee. Regularly.
You pounced onto his shoulders from above, just to “see if his reaction time was as fast as everyone said.”
(It was. But he still nearly had a heart attack that day.)
And yet—
Despite your absolute disregard for personal space and normal social conventions, you were a damn good teacher.
Your students adored you, your battle tactics were sharp and effective, and you had a natural talent for handling even the most rowdy kids (cough Bakugo cough).
And somehow—despite all your antics—Aizawa found himself growing used to your presence.
To the way your ears twitched when you were listening intently. To the way your tail flicked when you were irritated. To the way you always tried to get a reaction out of him, even when he refused to give you the satisfaction.
And then, one day—
He realized he had a problem.
Because he liked it.
It was late one evening, long after most of the staff had gone home.
Aizawa had been grading papers, exhaustion creeping into his bones, when he heard the softest footfalls outside his office.
No one else would have noticed them.
But Aizawa knew exactly who it was before you even poked your head inside.
“Still working?” you mused, stepping in without an invitation, tail swaying lazily behind you.
Aizawa sighed. “Obviously.”
You hummed, moving closer, perching yourself on the edge of his desk—a habit he had long given up trying to correct.
“You know,” you mused, eyes glinting in the dim light, “you’re always telling me I should take my job more seriously. But when was the last time you actually took a break?”
Aizawa didn’t respond.
Because the answer was too damn long ago.
Your lips curled slightly, as if you could read his thoughts.
Then—before he could react—you reached out, plucked his red pen from his hand, and tossed it across the room.
Aizawa stared at you.
“…Did you just—”
“Yep.”
“…Why?”
“Because you’re done for the night.”
His eye twitched. “I still have work to do.”
“Nope.” You grinned, tail flicking playfully. “Work is done. I have officially declared it.”
Aizawa exhaled heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“I don’t have time for your games, Y/N.”
But you weren’t backing down.
Instead, you tilted your head, ears twitching slightly, and for the first time since you had met, your voice was softer.
“I mean it, Shota,” you murmured. “You do too much. Just… take a break. Just this once.”
Something in his chest tightened.
Because no one ever told him to slow down.
No one ever took the time to worry about him.
But you?
You had been paying attention this whole time.
And that was the moment he knew.
That he was completely and utterly doomed.

Hello! Can I get yandere mydei and phainon with reader is like an otaku? They are nice and all but they absolutely refused to love irl man cuz, "anime is better" you know? The stereotypes weeb? I find it funny as heck, two grown man had to tried their very best to make their weeb crush falls for them which failed miserably when instead of seeing them as this super cool dudes, reader was like:
"if only you were in the anime... I'd buy your merch"
Imma write them as highschool students if that's ok with u :3
Yan!Mydei x Otaku!Reader x Yan!Phainon
Tumblr media
The gymnasium echoed with cheers as Mydei and Phainon dominated the court once again. Sweat glistened on their skin, muscles tense as they moved with practiced ease. Their teammates celebrated, their fan club squealed, but neither of them cared about the crowd. Their golden and blue eyes sought only one person.
Sitting on the bleachers, swinging your legs, a bored expression on your face as you scrolled through your phone. Not even sparing them a glance.
Phainon grinned, running a hand through his hair as he approached, brimming with confidence. "So, Y/n, did you see that? Pretty cool, right?"
Mydei, simply stood next to you, arms crossed, golden eyes fixated on your reaction.
You blinked up at them, eyes sparkling—oh? Were they finally getting a reaction? Did you finally see how impressive they were?
"If only you were in an anime..." you sighed wistfully, placing a hand over your chest. "I’d definitely cheer for you."
Phainon's grin twitched. Mydei's expression darkened.
You continued without a care, tapping on your phone. "Like, if you guys were in a sports anime, you'd be the overpowered rivals who secretly train with the protagonist before Nationals. I'd totally have keychains of you two."
Phainon let out a strained chuckle. "That’s... great?"
Mydei exhaled slowly, resisting the urge to grab you and shake some sense into you.
They were real. They were right here. And they were yours.
Yet you still only had eyes for 2D men.
The school hallways buzzed with excitement. Valentine’s Day had turned the campus into a battlefield of love confessions, chocolates, and handwritten letters. And at the center of it all stood Mydei and Phainon.
"Mydei!!! please accept this!"
"Phainon-senpai, I made these chocolates just for you!"
Girls and boys alike flocked around them, hands outstretched, faces flushed with nervous anticipation. Love was in the air—or at least, for everyone except the two athletes.
Phainon’s usual friendly smile twitched as he took a step back, dodging another admirer shoving a pink-wrapped box into his hands. "Ahaha… That’s really nice, but—"
Mydei, less patient, barely spared the gifts a glance. "Not interested" he muttered, voice flat, eyes scanning the hallway for someone else entirely.
But you were already gone.
Slipping out of the school gates, eyes glued to your phone, giggling to yourself.
"Did you see the new release?!" Your voice was excited as you spoke into your wireless earphones, completely oblivious to the chaos behind you. "They finally dropped the limited-edition figures! I need them—no, I deserve them. My husbando has never looked better."
Phainon’s jaw clenched. Mydei’s grip tightened on the unopened chocolate boxes in his hands.
All these people, fighting for their attention, pouring their hearts out.
And you? Once again...
You only had eyes for some… some 2D men.
"We really have our work cut out for us, huh?"
Mydei didn’t reply.
He just crushed the box of chocolates in his hand.
Later that evening, the familiar chime of your doorbell rang through the house. You didn’t move an inch. Why would you? Your hands were busy on your controller, and you were deep in the final boss fight of your new game.
Downstairs, your mother cheerfully opened the door to reveal two towering figures. "Ah, Mydei! Phainon! You’re right on time. Go on up, dears."
They both smiled politely, Phainon with his usual charm, Mydei with a curt nod—but beneath their pleasant exteriors, their patience was running thin.
They knew exactly what you were doing. And they were sick of playing second to a screen.
As they entered your room without knocking (they never bothered anymore—your family practically treated them like members already), the sound of dramatic battle music blasted through your speakers. You didn’t even glance at them.
“C’mon, c’mon…” you muttered under your breath, fingers flying across the controller. “One more hit—one more hit and my husbando is safe—”
Phainon raised an eyebrow at Mydei. Mydei tilted his head toward your console. Without another word, he strode across the room and—
Click.
The screen went black.
You froze. For a solid five seconds, your brain refused to process what had just happened. Slowly, you turned your head, eyes wide with horror.
“…Did you just—?”
Phainon leaned against your desk with a bright, innocent smile. "We’re here to study, remember?" His blue eyes gleamed with something far less innocent.
“I WAS AT THE FINAL STAGE!” you shrieked, clutching your controller like it was your lifeline. “MY HUSBANDO—YOU—HE—"
"You can play later" Mydei said, voice low and firm as he stood beside you, arms crossed. "You’re too distracted."
“I’m gonna burst....oh my god—” You pressed a hand against your chest, genuinely feeling lightheaded. "I was this close to unlocking his final route—"
Before you could combust, the door swung open.
“Kids, I brought fruit!” Your mother’s voice rang out, warm and chipper as she stepped into the room carrying a tray of neatly sliced apples and chilled grapes.
Instantly, you snapped your mouth shut and straightened up, the fury you were about to unleash swallowed back in favor of a tight-lipped smile. "Ah… thanks, Mom."
Phainon beamed at her, sliding easily into his charming persona. "Thank you, ma’am! You’re always so thoughtful."
Mydei gave a small bow. “Thank you.”
Your mom chuckled, clearly delighted. "Such polite boys. Unlike someone who barely leaves their room" she teased before setting the tray on your desk. "Don’t let them do all the work for you, Y/n."
“I won’t” you grumbled, barely resisting the urge to glare at the two towering men beside you.
The moment the door shut behind her, your calm façade cracked. "You owe me a new save point" you hissed under your breath.
Phainon tilted his head, lips twitching into a smug smile. "Maybe if you paid more attention to us instead of your little husbandos, this wouldn’t have happened."
"You two are actual villains."
"And you’re stuck with us," Mydei said coolly, pulling a textbook from his bag. "Now focus."
You swore under your breath. If they weren’t so familiar with your family, you would’ve kicked them out by now.
The next day at school was the same as always—except it wasn’t.
Whispers of a new transfer student had already spread across campus before the morning bell even rang. You hadn’t paid much attention at first (real people were whatever, after all), but that all changed the moment you stepped into the hallway between classes and caught sight of something—
A flash of color. A familiar shape. Dangling from the side of a backpack.
Your favorite limited-edition keychain from Eternal Requiem: Abyssal Code.
You froze. Your mind scrambled to process it. Could it be? Someone else here actually had taste?
Without hesitation, you spun on your heel and marched straight up to the owner of said backpack.
The new transfer student, a boy with messy dark brown hair and sharp green eyes, blinked up at you in surprise as you loomed over his desk.
“You,” you said, pointing dramatically at the keychain. “Where did you get that?”
For a moment, the poor guy looked confused—probably not expecting to be interrogated first thing in the morning—but then he followed your gaze and let out a small chuckle. “Oh, this? Got it from the pre-order set.”
Your hands slammed down on his desk. “YOU KNOW ABYSSAL CODE?!”
The classroom fell silent for a second, students exchanging confused glances, but the boy—Dorian Vance, according to the seating chart—only grinned. “Obviously. It’s my favorite anime this season.”
Your eyes practically sparkled. “No way! Who’s your favorite?”
Recess couldn’t come fast enough.
By the time the break period started, you were perched on the edge of Dorian’s desk, animatedly discussing plot theories, merch releases, and screaming over your shared favorite characters. You had completely forgotten about lunch. About class. About everything except the fact that, finally, someone else understood.
And that was exactly the scene Mydei and Phainon walked into.
The two had planned to find you during recess—after all, you were in a different class, and they hadn’t seen you since the morning. It was supposed to be routine. Just another moment where they could remind you that no matter how much you obsessed over anime, they were still here.
But instead, they found you—sitting way too close to some random guy, eyes bright, voice excited, completely absorbed in a conversation that had nothing to do with them.
Phainon’s usual easygoing smile thinned at the edges, Mydei, standing beside him, clenched his jaw.
Who the hell was this guy? And why did you look at him like that?
The final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Mydei and Phainon stood near the gates, leaning against the fence as they waited for you. Mydei was scanning the crowd. Phainon, though outwardly relaxed, kept shifting his weight from foot to foot.
You always walked home with them.
But today?
They spotted you further down the path—walking with him. The new transfer student.
The same Dorian Vance who shared your cursed obsession with 2D men. The same one who had occupied your time all through recess, stealing your attention, your conversations, your smiles.
And now, he was walking home with you.
Phainon let out a laugh, but there was no humor in it. "Wow. Look at that. Guess someone forgot about us."
"Y/n didn’t forget. Just distracted."
Phainon glanced at him. "So? What do we do?"
"We fix the distraction."
"That’s what I like to hear."
There was no need to speak further. They already knew the plan. Dorian Vance would not last long. Not in your life. Not in their way.
The next day, Dorian was everywhere.
At lunch, he sat beside you, chatting about the latest anime episode you both loved. During breaks, he showed you fan art he’d found online. He even had the audacity to lend you a keychain of your favorite character. Mydei and Phainon watched it all from a distance.
"He’s really pushing it, huh?" Phainon muttered, tapping his fingers against his desk. His usual bright energy was dimmed.
Mydei didn’t respond immediately, just exhaled slowly, like a predator waiting for the right moment to pounce. "It won’t last. We just need to help it end faster.”
That moment came after school.
Dorian was at his locker, oblivious to the two shadows that loomed behind him.
“Hey, Vance.” Phainon grinned.
Dorian turned, surprised. “Oh, uh, Phainon, right?”
“And Mydei” Mydei added flatly, stepping closer, golden eyes locked onto Dorian’s with something heavy.
Dorian hesitated. “…Did you guys need something?”
“Yeah,” Phainon said smoothly, slinging an arm over Dorian’s shoulder. “We just wanted to talk.”
Dorian stiffened. “About?”
Mydei leaned in slightly, his presence imposing. “About our friend.”
There was no need to elaborate. The message was clear.
For the next few days, whispers spread through the school.
Rumors about Dorian Vance.
He stole someone’s money. He cheated on a test. He badmouthed teachers behind their backs.
Little things, at first. Just enough to plant doubt. Enough to make people look at him differently. As for Mydei and Phainon? They stayed clean, never directly involved, always just watching.
Dorian caught on fast. The way classmates whispered when he passed, the way people hesitated before speaking to him—it was suffocating. He tried to defend himself, but somehow, no one believed him.
And then, one night, you went to the convenience store.
You were just grabbing some instant ramen and an energy drink when you spotted him—Dorian, hood up, standing at the end of the aisle, staring at you like a deer caught in headlights.
“…Dorian?” you called.
He flinched. Visibly. Then, he did something strange—he looked past you. His face paled.
You turned slightly, only to find Mydei and Phainon standing behind you.
They hadn’t said a word. Hadn’t even moved. But their presence alone was enough to send Dorian bolting out of the store.
“…The hell?” you muttered, watching him disappear into the night.
Phainon clicked his tongue. “Weird guy.”
Mydei grabbed a drink from the fridge, his expression unreadable. “You shouldn’t waste time on him.”
You shrugged. It was strange, but whatever. You had anime to catch up on.
---
The deal was simple.
You’d cheer for Mydei and Phainon at their basketball match, and in return, they’d help you clear the impossibly hard final stage of your game.
So there you were, sitting near the front row, sipping on a vending machine soda, eyes glued to your phone more than the actual game. Every now and then, you’d glance up, mostly when the crowd cheered. Mydei was his usual powerhouse self, effortlessly blocking shots and scoring with a deadpan expression. Phainon, ever the showman, hyped up the crowd with flashy passes and confident smirks.
You were kind of paying attention.
Until you weren’t.
The next thing you knew, a basketball came hurtling toward you—fast. Too fast. You had zero time to react.
BAM.
Pain exploded across your face, sharp and dizzying. Gasps erupted around you as you clutched your nose, head throbbing.
Mydei had been only a few steps away, arm outstretched, fingertips barely missing the ball before it wrecked you. His golden eyes narrowed as he turned to the player who threw it.
Phainon was at your side instantly, pulling your hands away to assess the damage. His expression darkened at the sight of the blood trickling from your nose. "Shit. You okay?"
You barely registered the concerned murmurs around you as you groaned, "Do I look okay?"
The next thing you knew, you were being half-carried to the school infirmary.
The nurse had already seen worse injuries—this was a basketball team, after all. She cleaned you up, gave you an ice pack, and suggested you rest for a bit. Your head pounded, but honestly, you just wanted to go home.
"I’m fine," you grumbled. "You guys need to get back to the game. It’s important, right?"
Mydei didn’t answer immediately, his eyes locked onto you like he was trying to decide whether leaving was even an option.
Phainon ruffled his hair in frustration. "Yeah, but—"
"Seriously, I’ll just head home. Alone." You emphasized the last word, knowing full well they’d insist on escorting you otherwise. "I’ll rest better in my own bed anyway."
For the first time ever, they actually hesitated on leaving you alone.
But the match was important. Their team needed them.
"Fine." Mydei finally relented, but his voice was low, stiff. "Call us when you get home."
"Yeah, and text us if you feel dizzy or something," Phainon added. "Or if—"
"I get it, I get it." You waved them off, already gathering your things. "Now go, before your team loses."
They exchanged glances, clearly not liking this. But eventually, they turned and left.
You made it home safe, which was honestly a miracle considering how dizzy you still felt. All you wanted was to crash in bed, maybe ice your face a bit, and just exist in peace.
But peace?
Not happening.
Because the moment you stepped inside, a high-pitched squeal rang through the house, followed by the overwhelming force of someone tackling you into a suffocating hug.
"Cousin!!!"
Oh no. Oh no.
Your disturbing, overly affectionate, doesn’t-know-personal-space cousin was here.
"W-What the hell—" you croaked, still sore from earlier.
"I missed youuu!" she whined, squeezing you tighter. "Auntie said you were home, so I came to visit! We need to catch up!"
You groaned, barely registering the fact that she was dragging you toward your room. "I just want to sleep—"
"Nuh-uh, no sleeping!" She shut the door, locked it, and immediately flopped onto your bed like she owned the place. "I have so much to tell you!"
And she did. Dear god, she did.
She talked. And talked. And talked.
About her friends. About school. About some guy she was totally not into (but clearly was). All while poking, shoving, and randomly hugging you every few minutes.
You just laid there, staring at the ceiling, regretting every choice in your life that led to this moment.
And worst of all?
You completely forgot to text Mydei and Phainon.
They were worried sick.
The second the game ended, they rushed to your house, only to be met with a locked door and your voice screaming from inside.
"Ahhh—!"
"S-Stop! You’re so—!"
Then a moan???
Both Mydei and Phainon froze.
They didn’t hesitate.
CRASH
The door slammed open with a force that nearly ripped it off the hinges.
Your cousin screamed. You yelped.
And there you were—on your bed, struggling under your cousin’s weight as she attempted to wrestle a pillow from your grasp.
All of you stared at each other.
"…What the actual hell?" Phainon breathed, looking like he was ready to commit crimes.
Mydei just exhaled slowly, like he was counting down from ten to avoid snapping someone’s neck.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Your mother stood at the doorway, arms crossed, her expression unreadable.
Oh. Oh no.
You all quickly scrambled to apologize as fast as humanly possible.
Your cousin tried to explain. Mydei and Phainon stammered their own excuses. You just wanted the ground to swallow you whole. It took a while, but eventually, after much awkwardness, your mom sighed and just told everyone to get out of your room.
Finally, peace.
As you flopped back onto your bed, you barely registered Mydei and Phainon standing outside your door, still tense, still watching.
Phainon crossed his arms. "Next time, text us."
Mydei just muttered, "We're staying over."
And somehow, you knew you weren’t getting rid of them anytime soon. Damn these annoying real men.

I saw your post about the Poppy playtime: New Home Sweet Home Au and I really like the concept!
Since the release of Ch4 I wanted to request… how would the 17 toys react to seeing the doctor, Harvey Sawyer now in a robot (like in the fan arts) just showing up at the door when Reader goes to open the door.
I can imagine the chaos that would happen.
Especially when the doctor simply requests to live at the house with them.
(thanks for liking the au. Hopefully I can keep cooking with this one. Might make more I don't know)
The doctor forced to live in the garage or something like that.
When y/n opened the door they just kinda froze up looking up at the doctor a doey who was coming out of the living room just quietly ran back in the living where most of the smiling critters where and he just whisper yells that the actual doctor is here and everyone freaks out quietly. Cause like they would be all scared out of their minds because what do you mean the doctor of out side and at the literal door.
Doey immediately plans to protect everyone. He did it at the safe haven, he can do it again. The smiling critters well panic but dog day is the same as doey wanting to try and protect the house and the other toys inside. As most of the toys are afraid of the doctor cause like how the fuck is that guy alive and if he's out than what about the prototype? But it's almost impossible for the prototype to escape cause limitations.
And doey quietly trying to reach out to grab y/n and close the door but it's to risky as they don't want to make their presence known. As they are scared that the doctor will kill them after everything especially trying to kill him as I like he's was the main reason that most of them exist especially that he contributed to making the toys alive and was the head scientist and worked with the prototype. But y/n reluctantly let's him in but just because it's the morning and they don't want the neighbors to see him. Y/n makes a deal that the doctor can live here but the toys can decide where he sleeps and thats ends up to be the garage or attic or any of the rooms that is away from the other toys and y/n and the doctor if fine with that but y/n wants to give him a second chance but doey doesn't. He just wants the doctor away from everyone else and no where near them or y/n.
Harley kinda just had a bed, blanket and a bookshelf as the room he stays in is mainly a spare room and less used guest room. But y/n tries to be nice and put up some posters and some plushies and books in his room but Harvey kinda keeps it bare and does read the books while in his room. Even though the toys don't trust y/n being around the doctor and at least mommy long legs or one of the toys go up with y/n to make sure Harley doesn't try anything funny but mostly Harley doesn't come out of the room. Only at night to take some things to tinker with them (mostly y/n's stuff) but returns it after tinkering with it (he is a control freak. As he realizes he has no power now and isn't able to see everything around him) he does try to be "nice" as he does want a place to live but he's weak and feels vulnerable, having to take refuge in y/n's house and he wonders if he could take you back with him to the factory or to find a something more have you in his grasp (he very much Is delighted by you and your abilities back at the factory and wonders if he could perhaps make you into something greater but doey and the rest of the toys ain't letting that happen if he even tries it) plus picky piggy isn't allowed in the kitchen at night anymore cause she literally had eaten almost all the groceries so now theres a lock on it that stays on until morning.
(that's it for my yap session, I glad you guys like my little silly au. But if you want more please don't feel shy to request any ideas for this or any other fics or stories. Please stay safe and drink water!)

acting lessons
this is for my chapter 5 au... I tried to compose a toxic doomed yaoi saiouma essay in the tags just now but it went over the tag limit (mortifying) so I'm just going to paste it under the cut!!
////cw for suicide of course. also heads up my version of saiouma is almost completely one sided 👍🏼
#look.. in my mind there is no world where shuichi truly comes around on kokichi #but there is TOTALLY a world where he feels eternally fucked up and guilty about assisting in his suicide #and cant bring himself to hate anymore #cant bring himself to reject the casual but blatantly self-indulgent touches of the boy hes about to murder in the most excruciating way possible #just let him have his fun #let him squeeze your shoulder a little too long #its the least you can do when hes about to let his entire body be turned into an unrecognizable puddle of gore #you dont have to pretend you like it. he KNOWS you dont like it. just let it happen & soon enough itll be over and youll never have to see him again #youll never be *able* to see him again. nothing left of him to even call a body #fucking unidentifiable #god. #(to be clear i dont approve of that logic at all but i sure think shuichi would feel that way)
#its like oumota but worse because (to me) shuu has completely written him off by ch5 and doesnt even need the poison blackmailing to agree #its shuichis low point after all hes fully suicidal and thinks kokichi is the mastermind who destroyed humanity's last hope #he doesnt have time to recalculate his opinion before its too late #he agrees almost immediately #but the closer it gets the less he can justify it #like god this guy fills me with rage and we would never ever in a million years get along but hes also a warm breathing human being #and hes in love with me or something and i just agreed to kill him. EAGERLY! #to his FUCKING FACE #yes i openly hated him already. and yes he didnt even blink when i told him i could kill him #if anything he looked happy! #but god how could i just say that to someone? how did it get this bad? #and how is he still giving me finger hearts through the camera while we test out angles for his fucking DEATH VIDEO #maybe just maybe its because he really thinks this will save us. but maybe he just wants to die #and i dont even know if that makes a difference anymore #et cetera……..
#like i said im not a saiouma guy in the traditional sense but #i do like pathetic clingy kokichi x shuichi who hates himself for harboring genuine malice towards him #(justified malice) #but is too self doubting to take the reins and stop the horrible thing theyve already set in motion
#meeting the same fate as kaede because he THOUGHT he was agreeing to kill the mastermind #when in reality it was really just a cagey guy who was trying to do the EXACT same thing and made the mistake of going it alone #and now that guy who couldve been his ally is dead and he has to pretend hes ok and lie to his friends to derail this trial #for this stupid idiotic plan he let himself get blindly swept up in #that was never going to work in the first place #he knew it was full of holes he knew ouma was full of shit #he knew himself he knew he'd buckle under the pressure of the trial #but he didnt say a thing #it was so much easier to go with it. he just wanted it to be fucking over with #well its not over. the game continues and kokichi is dead and for what #didnt lift a fucking finger #fucking idiot coward bottom of the barrel piece of shit. GOD #i dont know man. it's just real kill yourself hours for shuichi after this one

this is unedited!!
request: anon requested a part 2 to falling
[4.9k]
“I really wish you’d let me carry something, Neeks,” you whine out, pressing the button to call the elevator down to the parking garage.
“Nope. I’m perfectly capable of carrying your groceries on my own,” Nico dramatically swings the reusable shopping bags over his shoulder, walking a few feet away before turning and striking a pose.
Your laugh echoes around the concrete garage, amused at his theatrics.
It’s been about three weeks since your accident at the rink, and Nico hasn’t left your side since. As long as he’s in Jersey, that is.
After that first night he’s only really left your apartment to either go to practice and games, or to sleep. Sometimes even the latter not being true, considering there’s been a few nights he’s crashed on your couch after late-night movie sessions or particularly rough games.
During your follow up appointment your doctor told you to keep the sling on for a few more weeks, not wanting to add any unnecessary strain to the healing muscles in your shoulder. After you told Nico the sling was here to stay, he insisted he was going to, literally, be your right-hand man.
You were also told, as long as you and the sling are one, going to work is on your list of restricted activities. So is any form of strenuous activity, lifting anything over ten pounds, and whatever else Nico deems unsafe for you to do. Like carrying your groceries.
Nico has shown up at your apartment every morning with a cup of coffee, either bringing you breakfast or offering to cook for you. He takes his post-practice and pre-game naps on your couch in case you need him to do anything for you. After home games he shows up with takeout and candy, keeping you company while you’re stuck in your apartment day after day.
When he’s on the road he enlisted the help of Jesper’s girlfriend, Nicole, to come over and check on you at least once a day. Anytime he’s playing in a different state, no matter where he is, he always manages to have dinner delivered to your house, making sure you’re not stuck eating microwave meals and simple dinners, thanks to your limited cooking ability and lack of being able to drive at the moment.
Before he has to leave for stretch of away games, he always makes sure he takes you to the grocery store, stocking your pantry and fridge to make sure you have everything you need while he’s gone. He calls you every chance he has on the road, wanting to check on you and how you’re feeling while keeping you up on the team happenings, knowing how eager you are to get back to work.
Today is one of his ‘preparation’ days, as you’ve dubbed them. He showed up this morning with a coffee and a bagel, cut into quarters instead of in halves, so the insides wouldn’t slip out of the other side when you tried to take a one-handed bite. He did your dishes and folded your laundry for you while you showered, twisting your hair into one of his trademark braids after you were dressed before ushering you out of your apartment, claiming the two of you had errands to run.
The first errand on his list was taking you to the rink, a satisfied feeling settling over him when he saw the large smile on your face when he told you he asked if you could sit in on practice today. You were practically buzzing with excitement, not having been at the rink since the day of your fall. You had grown to love the sport of hockey during your time at your job. Missing the chill of the air, the sound of pucks sliding across the ice and the scrape of their skates as the players come to a stop.
Several of the players slide over to the bench where you sit, just as excited to see you as you are to see them.
Jack and Luke come over first, telling you how ready they are for you to be back, having given themselves the job of Puck Police, ensuring that all of the pucks are cleared out of the skate path leading towards the benches.
Jesper, Timo, and Holtzy tell you how much they miss the jokes you would tell them so they would quit mean mugging and actually smile during arrival pictures.
Dawson, Johnny, and Curtis joined the gathered group, bringing you a card that everyone from the team had signed. It was a giant novelty card, clearly custom made, considering there was a picture of the whole team on the front, the inside reading “Sorry you fell over our pucks. We feel really pucking bad about it.”
You were doubled over in laughter the entire time the team spent chatting with you before their practice officially started, fulling understanding the sentiment that laughter is the best medicine. You were even able to give the young girl filling in for you some pointers, helping her adjust the settings on the camera for different shots, happy you were able to sneak in a little bit of work to your visit.
After practice was over and Nico was showered and ready to go, the two of you went out for lunch at a small café just down the street from the rink, their large bakery selection immediately catching your eye. You ended up having cake for lunch, telling Nico to mind his own business when he asked if you wanted any ‘real’ food.
Once lunch was over, he took you to the grocery store, helping you pick out ready made meals and a few other essentials before bringing you back to your apartment, where you were currently witnessing Nico’s wannabe model moves.
Once the elevator lifts you to your floor, you walk over and unlock your door, leaving it open behind you for Nico to walk through, following you straight to your kitchen to put away your groceries.
You grab a box of cereal, setting it down on the counter before reaching up to open your cabinet door. Just as you’re reaching up to place the box on the shelf, you hear something fall, a bottle of water slipping off of one of the shelves in your fridge. You jump slightly, trying to turn your body at the same time, the sudden movement pinching one of the nerves in your shoulder, causing you to let out a hiss.
Nico immediately clocked the displeased noise, jerking his body into a standing position and walking over towards you.
“Are you okay? What happened? Did you try to lift this up with your bad arm?” he asks you, arms hovering around your frame, eyes glued your slinged shoulder.
You finish pushing the cardboard box onto the shelf, closing the wooden cabinet door.
Rolling your arm a bit, you turn to face Nico.
“I’m fine. Just jumped a little and it caught my shoulder in a funny way, I guess. No big deal, just more uncomfortable than anything,” you assure him.
He narrows his eyes at you, trying to gauge if you’re lying to him or not.
Narrowing your eyes back at him, you pull a face at him.
He backs up, laughing, seemingly convinced you’re fine.
Walking back over to finish placing the several salad kits you bought in the fridge, Nico starts talking with his head fully inside of your fridge.
“So, we leave out around six tonight and I won’t be back until late Friday night,” he tells you, meaning he’ll be gone almost four full days, considering today is Monday. “Nicole offered to stay over here if you wanted her to, incase you needed to go anywhere.”
You’ve gained a friend in Nicole through this whole process, enjoying her company. You didn’t have many girl friends in the city, your job taking up the majority of your time. Nico was the person you spent the most time with, even before these past few weeks, but you occasionally tagged along to outings with the team, growing close to Jack, Luke, Timo, and Jesper, too. You figure that’s why Nico chose to ask Nicole to help out, seeing as you’d spent some time with her during celebratory bar nights and get togethers at Nico’s apartment.
The two of you were friendly before, but now you would consider yourself good friends, going out to lunch together and watching bad reality tv during the day when she would come over. She even helped you do your skincare routine one night before bed, giving you different tips and tricks on the order of application. It felt like you were in middle school again having a sleepover with your best friend.
“I might take her up on that. I think there’s new episodes of The Circle on Netflix. We could binge them while eating ice cream!” your eyes light up with an idea.
Nico laughs and shakes his head at you while shutting your fridge door.
“I really don’t understand your obsession with these awful shows. Jesper and I were talking about how we wouldn’t be surprised if the two of you signed up for your own spot on one soon.”
The thought of Nico talking about you when Jesper is talking about Nicole makes your brain stutter for a moment.
You can’t deny that your new found feelings for Nico have continued to develop during the time he’s spent being your self-appointed helper. His insistence on being your personal chauffer, showing up every day like clockwork, even going as far to tell the media team the alternate captains are going to have to do post-game media for home games until you’re back to work causes your feelings to grow each day.
You haven’t told your mom about the arrangement with Nico, not wanting to get her hopes up, still not entirely convinced Nico isn’t just being nice. The two of you haven’t shared any intense moments like the first night he braided your hair, now the braiding sessions being filled with small talk and laughter.
Hearing that Nico is bringing you up when Jesper is talking about his own girlfriend, however, sparks a seed of hope in you.
“And if we do, you and Jesper can be our cheerleaders from the other side,” you tell him, sticking your tongue out.
When Nico finishes putting away the rest of your groceries, he takes the reusable bag and returns it to its hiding spot under the sink.
At this point, Nico knows your apartment as well as you do. He knows where all of your dishes go, because he unloads your dishwasher and washes anything by hand that won’t fit. He knows where all of your clothes go in your room, helping you wash, fold, and put away your laundry – with the exception of your underwear, he hasn’t earned access to that drawer yet. He knows where everything in your bathroom is, having to take a shower one morning after he crashed on the couch. He even knows which junk drawer has which random items in it.
You’ve become so comfortable with Nico being here, it’s like a tiny part of you doesn’t want your arm to heal, just so he has to continue coming over and playing roommate.
Nico walks over and leans against your stove, facing you.
“Are you sure you’ll be fine while I’m gone? It’s the longest stretch of away games we’ve had since your fall.”
He looks genuinely worried, the thought causing a familiar swirl in your belly.
“I’ll be fine, Neeks. This thing comes off next week anyways,” you lift the arm in your sling for emphasis. “I’m going to have to get used to you being gone again, anyways. This week will be like a practice run.”
You catch the way Nico’s eyes just slightly fall. If you weren’t always paying attention to his beautiful eyes, you would’ve missed it, perking up just as quickly as they fell.
“God, finally. Thought I’d have to be your maid forever,” he exaggerates his words, making a big show of rolling his eyes and throwing his arms up above his head.
“Oh shut it, you love hanging out with me,” you step towards him, wagging your finger in his face.
He tilts his head, pretending to think about your words. “Yeah, I guess you’re pretty good company,” he reaches out, grabbing the finger a few inches from his nose.
The two of you stand there, his hand not letting go of your finger, letting it drop in-between your bodies.
His lips fall from his wide smile, slightly separated as he stares at you.
Feeling the energy shift, you stare back at him, not knowing what exactly is happening. Neither one of you have spoken for a solid minute now, your finger still trapped in his hand.
Your eyes flick down to his pink lips, and back up to his eyes. He darts his tongue out to lick his dry lips, unable to move your gaze from them this time. Thinking about what his lips would feel like on yours, the alarm bells start going off in your head.
Clearing your throat and stepping back, you break the moment, not knowing what else to do.
Nico drops your finger, bringing a hand up to run through his long hair, looking away from your face.
Was he thinking about kissing you like you were thinking about kissing him? Would you have really let him? Why did you interrupt the moment? You like him you idiot!
When Nico pushes himself off of your stove, you start ignoring the voice in your head.
“I need to get going. Still need to stop by my place and grab a few things before heading to the rink,” he says, still refusing to meet your eye. “I’ll, uh, call you when we get there, like usual, okay?”
Nodding at him you reply with a “Yeah, sounds good.”
“Alright. Good. I’ll see you in a few days?” he walks over to you, hands twitching at his sides like he wants to give you a hug, but doesn’t know if he should.
You eliminate the space between you, wrapping him up in a hug. “Sounds perfect. Play safe.”
He hugs your body to his for a few more moments before letting go, a small “Bye” leaving his mouth before he grabs his keys off of your kitchen table and exits your apartment with a wave.
You stand in your kitchen thinking about your interaction, deciding a phone call to your mother was needed.
———————————————————————————
Grabbing the bowl of freshly popped popcorn, you walk back over to your living room and plop down next to Nicole.
Tonight was the night the boys are supposed to be getting back from their road trip. Since they weren’t supposed to be getting back until late tonight, you decided to spend the evening watching some of your favorite rom coms to pass the time.
Nicole always said waiting for Jesper to get home on the day of was the worst, because she knows its so close but the time always seems to drag. You surprisingly understood, the past week feeling like the longest of your life without Nico’s presence around your apartment.
After your phone call with your mom the other night, you allowed yourself to realize you want to be with Nico. Your confession to her that you did actually have feelings for the hockey player earned a squeal of joy and an extremely enthusiastic “I told you so!”
Talking with your mom about his actions throughout your whole accident and healing process really opened your eyes to how long you’ve really had feelings for him. You weren’t completely blind, finding Nico attractive from the very beginning, but you hadn’t really let yourself go all the way. Preventing yourself from getting your hopes up and embarrassing yourself, you kept using the excuse of him just being nice to justify why there were no feelings involved in your friendship.
You realized what a load of bullshit that was, though, considering how often you found yourself calling him to tell him good news whenever you received any. Or wanting to have a movie night anytime you were upset or sad, knowing your mood would improve the second Nico walked through your door. Or all the times at the bar when you would ignore men’s advances, wanting to just spend time talking with Nico the whole night.
Your mom recounted all the times she knew, once again marking that first time he helped you on the ice as the moment. She’s still not able to convince you that it was then, considering you and Nico didn’t even really know each other then.
Thinking back on your phone call with your mom made you think about how you hadn’t heard from Nico in a while, pulling your phone out to see if he had given you any update on where they were.
Nicole threw a handful of popcorn at you, fussing at you to pay attention to the movie and that they’ll be home when they’re home. You surrendered to her wishes and placed your phone face down on the coffee table in front of you.
Your third movie of the night was about halfway over when you heard a key turning in the lock on your door, knowing that only one other person had a key to your apartment.
You grab the remote and pause the movie, turning your body to face behind your couch, waiting for Nico to walk around the corner.
As he rounds the corner, suitcase in hand, you can’t help the grin that breaks out on your face.
“You’re back!” you exclaim, fighting the urge to leap off of the couch and crush him in a hug.
“I’m tired,” he responds, his smile bright but eyes tired.
The dark skin under his eyes confirm his words, assuming he had been asleep on the plane until they landed.
“Well, I guess that means I need to get home to Jesp,” Nicole says, sitting up and grabbing her shoes.
Nico looks over, mumbling out a “Good to see you Nicole, thanks for keeping her company this week,” before looking over at you, yawning as he told you he was going to take a quick shower then crash on your couch.
You give him a nod, telling him the stuff he bought last time was still in there.
Nicole gives the two of you a look, waiting until she hears the bathroom door shut to speak up.
“He keeps shower stuff here?”
Looking over at her you explain the time he fell asleep here and needed to shower that morning, stating you had too many expensive looking products to waste on himself, so he bought his own shower essentials and uses them anytime he decides to shower here after practice.
“So let me get this straight. He comes home to your apartment after a long road series, keeps his own products in your shower, has a key, and stays the night sometimes?” she watches you nod, her words not sinking in. “So, he does all of this, but the two of you still claim you’re just friends?”
Not knowing how to respond, you just stare at her. She keeps looking at you, waiting for your answer.
“Well…I mean…I don’t know,” you finally spit out.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” she questions.
“I mean, there’s little moments here and there that lets me think we could be more than friends, but I don’t want to bring it up because what if he’s just being nice? What if he agrees that we’re really just friends?” you open up to Nicole, the only other person you’re able to talk about this with being your mom.
She scoffs at you. “Are you kidding me? What kind of moments? Because from where Jesper and I are sitting, we keep expecting you guys to make it official any day now.”
Your cheeks heat at her words. “Well, like the fact I never even had to ask him to do all of this stuff for me, he just did. And he admitted that he drove all the way to the hospital the night I got hurt because no one had any updates, then drove here with no socks on when they told him I had already come home. He keeps getting all of these restaurants to cut my food up in weird ways so it’s easier for me to eat with one hand. And if they don’t do it, he will,” you keep rambling, not focusing on your surroundings enough to hear the shower shut off. “I mean, he offered me skating lessons when he saw me stumble on the ice once, then started coming over for dinner multiple times a week, unless they’re on the road.”
Nicole looks past you down the short hallway, noticing the light shining through the open bathroom door.
You keep talking. “The biggest one, though, is that I think we almost kissed before they left on Monday,” you tell her, causing Nicole’s eyebrows to shoot up.
“SPILL,” Nicole insists, her interest at an all time high.
“Well, we were standing in my kitchen just goofing off and I stuck my finger in his face. He grabbed it and wouldn’t let go, then we just kind of started staring at each other. Before I knew what was happening, I was staring at his lips and he was staring at mine, then I got nervous and stepped back before anything could happen,” you tell her with a shrug.
Nicole groans. “Are you serious!? You could have kissed him and you chickened out? What were you thinking?”
“I don’t know! I was thinking ‘what if I just have something on my face and he doesn’t actually want to kiss me.’”
She shakes her head at you. Movement down the hallway catches her eye, watching Nico step out of the small bathroom, and idea forming.
“I mean, you do like him, right?” She watches Nico’s figure stop in his tracks.
You sigh at her, letting your head sag a bit.
“Of course I like Nico. He’s kind, funny, takes care of me,” you start, a dreamy tone making its way into your voice. “Not to mention he’s insanely attractive. I just…don’t want to mess things up.”
Nicole flits her eyes over to Nico while you’re not paying attention, watching his face morph into shock.
“Y/N, the only way you’re going to be able to know if he feels the same way or not is to tell him. Forget about making a fool of yourself. Nico won’t shun you if he doesn’t feel the same way, he’s not that kind of guy,” she assures you.
“I know, Nic. But how do I even bring it up? How do I find the right time to slide ‘hey, so I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you, let me know if you feel the same!’” You pull a thumbs up at her, pulling a sarcastic face.
Nicole smirks at you, confusing you until she says “Just like that,” before pointing behind you to a freshly showered Nico standing in the hallway, having heard every word you just said.
You turn around, snapping your head back towards Nicole when you see Nico. You don’t move, too petrified with the fact he just heard you say you were in love with him.
“Y/N, is that true?” Nico calls out, cautiously walking towards your couch.
Nicole stands, claiming it was time for her to go before she hastily made her exit.
Your eyes are squeezed shut, trying to pull off the ‘if I can’t see them, they can’t see me,’ move.
“Is what you just told Nicole true? You’re in love with me?” you hear from in front of you now, feeling the couch dip.
You refuse to open your eyes, wanting to disappear into thin air. When Nico reaches his hand out, grabbing your non-slinged hand in his own, your eyes snap open.
He’s looking at you with an expression in his eyes you’ve only ever seen a few times before. Once when you wore his jersey for opposites day at work, handing him your camera to tote around all day as you, very poorly, skated around the ice, trying to scoot a puck around. The second was when you surprised him with a pan of brownies for his birthday, knowing how much he loves the chocolatey squares. The third was when he braided your hair for the first time, recognizing the softness of his eyes through the mirror. The most recent, aside from right now, was earlier this week, during the same moment you just described to Nicole.
“I…” you try to speak, but you’re still stuck in shock.
Nico chuckles and drops his head, looking at your hand in his.
“Would it make you feel better if I told you I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you, too?” he repeats your words, looking up and into your eyes as he says them.
Your mouth snaps shut, a new kind of shock entering your system.
“I think I have been since that first time Jack almost took you out on the ice,” he starts. “I had seen you before, but we only really spoke when you were telling me how to pose for pictures. Or making me smile for arrival pictures,” he reminisces, a fond smile on his face. “I always thought you were the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen, but I knew I had to get you to talk to me somehow, the skating lessons being my perfect in,” he tells you, squeezing your hand.
You can’t believe your mother was right. The lessons were a calculated move for Nico to establish himself in your life.
Nico keeps talking, pulling you from the realization. “The more we spent time together, the more I realized I wanted you to be more than just my pretty coworker I taught how to ice skate. So, when you offered the dinners after lessons, I jumped. I was hoping it was your way of telling me you had feelings for me, too, but when you kept telling your mom we were just friends, I figured I could wait it out a little longer,” he references all the times you complained about your mom jumping to conclusions. “I kept lying in wait, trying to find the perfect moment to make my move, and then you got hurt. I was so worried when they told me you fell and they had to take you to the hospital. Got scared it was my fault, that I told you the wrong thing during a skating lesson, or I pushed you to skate on your own before you were ready,” he starts rubbing his thumb across the back of your hand.
“When I realized you would need major help while your arm was in that sling, not even being able to brush your hair by yourself, I knew this is where I could tell you. Maybe bring it up when I was braiding your hair, or slip a note in your bagel bag one morning. Hell, I even thought about spelling it out with sushi pieces that first night, but figured that might be a bit tacky,” you laughed at his words, remembering wondering what was taking him so long to bring your food to you. “But then, every time I thought about it, I chickened out. The closest I ever got was the moment in your kitchen, every muscle in my body screaming at me to just lean in and kiss you,” your laugh is cut short at his confession. “When you pulled back before I could, I assumed you didn’t feel the same way, so I left. I was embarrassed, not wanting to sit in the rejection any longer. But this week, being away for so long after spending nearly every day with you for the past three weeks, I knew I had to tell you.”
You’re glad he was as affected by not being around you this week as you were, not feeling as pathetic anymore.
“Was going to tell you when I walked through the door actually, but then I saw Nicole here and didn’t want to do it in front of her. That worked out great, didn’t it?” he laughs at the situation, Nicole clearly having different plans.
You scoff out a “Yeah, clearly, considering she railroaded me without me even knowing.”
“Well, I’m very glad she did, because now I can stop talking about you like a lovesick puppy to them,” Nico tells you, confirming your earlier feeling that Nico brings you up during ‘girlfriend talk’.
“My mom is so totally going to freak out when I tell her we’re actually together,” you tell him, stopping yourself. “We are together, right?”
Nico laughs as he brings his hands up to cup your face, pulling you in for a kiss, his lips as soft as you imagined they were. He keeps the kiss light and sweet before pulling back.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” your cheeks flush, earning another laugh from the man in front of you.
“C’mon, I’m tired and would love to sleep in an actual bed tonight. We can talk details tomorrow. Right now, I need cuddles and sleep,” he stands, holding his hand out for you to grab as you stand, leading you down the hallway towards your bedroom.
Thinking back to what lead you to this moment, you giggle quietly to yourself, finding it a little comical that it took you literally falling on the ice and injuring yourself to realize you’d already fallen there once before.
