Introducing:

Emmet getting into a buttload of caffeine and screaming his head off.

[ffeelann]

a/n: HE ORDERED WITHOUT PICKLES love these ones

open requestsss

tw: marriage omg, husband/wife, gentle giant/short demon, fem reader, she's LOUD. Swearing bc this girl has her attitude sorry, yelling, könig being like ''sorry she's kinda... haha''. not my first lenguage sorry BE NICE ILY

—Hey, hey. Wait your turn, man, the hell you doing? We've been here waiting for hours— Y/N heard a soldier saying. Oh damn, they were skipping turns on the queue again.

Y/N was a nurse who was trying, to work and check every single guy out there. But someone was doing some mess.

—Hey, Y/N, would you please...?— one of the nurses asked her, but she didn't even let him finish and she took off her gloves without hesitation.

—Hell yeah, these big ass idiots are messing with my temple again— ''temple'' ment the poorly made nursery that barely kept on it's feet.

She walked off the nursery to see the queue being interrupted by a guy that was taking another... way much taller... wait a second.

Ah, shit. That was König.

—Hey! Hey, you, big insufferable toddler! Let that man go or I'll cancel your date!

Y/N yelled while she walked quickly to that place. König stared at her while she got closer to them both, without really moving. He just made a slight effort to keep himself quiet and without any move. Waiting for that tiny piece of anger to come there.

—You yell at him, girl! My feet are hurting like shit for standing here for, like, hours. And this guy wants to skip the fucking que-

—He's not hurt, you dumbass, don't you have eyes?— Y/N said, and the closest soldiers were honestly looking at her with some amusement on their faces, since she was deffending the biggest man from the middle heighted one. When she was...

—Yeah shortie, that's pretty much making it way wor-

Y/N tried to punch him, but König hold her faster by her waist and took two steps back to avoid her kicking the hurted guy. While this happened, she yelled and swore at him.

—The hell you doing, man? Let the nurse get him— another guy said. And König denied with his head quickly.

—My wife doesn't really appreciate any comments about her height. She can come out as...

She suddenly shutted down her voice.

—What did you say, babe?

—Uh... I said ''my wife doesn't...''-

Y/N pointed to König's face making some effort to it. Which all the closest soldiers listened closely, specially the guy who tried to hold Y/N's husband back before.

—Heard that? This is my husband. And he's big and he can really beat your ass, hear me? Do not disrespect my man again, understood?— she said, pointing at her ring and showing her hand off at his face.

—Eh...?

—Understood?! Made myself fucking clear?!

The guy looked at König's eyes, and the man in question avoided the eye contact to look at the mad woman on his arms. He looked at the man for a tiny bit to nod softly, indicating him to quit and shut up.

—Y-yes, ma'am...

—Good!

She took the big man's hand once he left her to conduct themselves into the nursery. And König felt very proud to the fact that everyone looked at his wife. She was lovely, after all.

Funfair

Includes- Toji, Sukuna, Nanami, Gojo, Geto

Sukuna-

He most definitely enters an eating competition, having the advantage of two mouths, so he feeds his stomach one and his normal one. "If you win, I want the bunny!" Pointing to the giant bunny Infront of him, it wasn't an 'if' it was a 'when' at this point. Knowing his competition couldn't compete with him. Normally there wouldn't be such a competition. Stuffing his mouth already with the pie, atleast it was a meat pie, he just had to eat one of them and a few ribs, that would be a snack just for him.

Wiping his face after just a few minutes, watching as the lady handed his daughter the giant plushie. "I'm going to name you princess sparkles" pointing at the pink sparkly paws it had.

Gojo-

Gojo gets lost in the game whenever he plays with someone else, and in this context, it was his son. Sat pouting on the seat as he saw his father score a strike, "You saw that?" Cocking his head to the side. Realising that his son was starting to tear up as he kicked his legs on the seat. "Awh, I'm sorry baby" ruffling his hair so it accidentally all got messed up. Crouching down to the little guy's level as he held his bare knees. "I promise I'll help you win" trying to make a smile on his face as he shook his leg. Picking his son up as he brought him towards the aisle, grabbing a small ball for him.

Nanami-

The giant teddybear staring at his daughter, practically begging to be won by the punching game. "Daddy I want that!" Pointing to the bear which overlooked the punch ball machine. "Are you sure?" He knew he had the strength to win the bear despite his looks. Nodding her head. Sleeves already rolled up as he got ready. "Good lucky daddy!" Giving him a reassuring thumbs up, if he didn't get it in the first try, he'd definitely come back and do it over hand over again even if it drained him of his wallet. The machine made a blaring noise as it calculated how hard his punch was, the little ball thing being stuck inside the slot. Stepping back as his daughter watched in amaze. "Here you go" handing her the plushie.

Geto-

He's not big of funfairs, unless he's with you. Walking his daughter out of the park as she looked around the place, his hands filled with a giant stuffed teddybear. "Let's go on that daddy" pointing to the Ferris wheel which was in motion, normally she hated rides that came off the ground due to her fear of heights, always resulting in her crying in his arms. "Are you sure?" He knew how hard it would be to comfort her when she starts crying. Nodding her head eagerly as they stepped towards the queue.

Sat in the capsule with just him and his daughter, watching as it lifted into the sky, unfortunately this one didn't have any glass walls so it was just a fence holding them back from falling. He didn't trust his daughter to not try and look out. Hand wrapped around her ankle as she stared out, not noticing how high up they were due to the dark. "Can I have the bear?" Pointing to the bear held, he knew she'd try and throw it out the cage. "Nope" keeping it between his legs. Pouting her lips as she sat down next to him, kicking her legs on the bench.

Toji-

His daughter loved fish, mainly goldfish as that's all she knew. So when she sees bags of fish just sat there, she wants to get one, despite not even having the correct equipment to keep one. Fortunately for him he was great with guns, with this game he had to shoot the targets down when they moved. Picking up the gun as he aimed at the duck. "Remember, when you win, I want Mr fish" pointing to the fish which kept banging it's head on the bag. Holding onto his shirt as she pointed. "You've already named it?"

Taking a shot. Hitting a perfect bullseye. "Yep! And he's going to wear a top hat!" Rambling on about the fish. "That's cute" replying as he took another perfect score, only one more to go. Much to the owner's dismay as he saw that he got 3 bullseyes, normally it was rigged so they wouldn't get any but with Toji it wouldn't work. Handing over the fish to the little girl. Getting handed the bag as she looked in amaze at her father. "No way!" Swinging her father back and forth as she saw the fish swim around the bag.

Metatron's manipulation step by step

Part 3: The Entrance

Part 1 - where I discuss the significance of the coffee.

Part 2 - where I take a look back at season 1

Ok, time to actually get to the promised "step by step" part and look very closely at what Metatron is doing, from the moment he appears on Earth to the very (heartbreaking) end of the episode (and the season, and the story so far). Well, in this part I'll stop when he sends the Angels away but we'll get to the very end eventually.

We first see Metatron on Earth when Crowley is escorting Nina and Maggie out of the bookshop. He's standing in line in front of Give me coffee or give me death, waiting for the shop to open and I think we should really stress the significance of that. Not his purchase of coffee and conversation with Nina - though they are important too - but the sole fact that he's there, in the street, in the queue, and NOT IN THE BOOKSHOP.

Gabriel has just gotten his memory back. His affair with Beelzebub has just been brought to light. Michael, Uriel, Saraqael, Dagon, Shax, and Furfur are shouting over each other about what should be done with them, while Beelzebub and Gabriel hold hands. They're still there! Nothing is decided yet.

But apparently, Metatron was more interested in buying coffee than confronting the Archangel who escaped his judgment.

I mean, I don't think anybody ever doubted that Meteron traveled to Earth specifically to talk to Aziraphale, and that was his top priority. It's not exactly a revelation. But it still baffled me just how little he cared about Gabriel's fate. Even at the point when he still might have influenced it. After the second rewatch I started drawing my conclusions from that about Metatron's personality and taking notes, but after the third time, I realized I was missing the point. Metatron's decision to stay out of Gabriel's business wasn't informed by how much he did or didn't care about it. It was all about how it would make him look if he was seen involved.

Aziraphale already had a rather unfavorable impression of him from their previous encounter (season 1) and now our beloved dorky Principality got himself involved in Gabriel's case, risking his safety to protect the Archangel from Heaven. And it was Metatron who was presiding over Gabriel's trial and decided Gabriel's punishment would be to have his memories erased.

Entering the bookshop while Gabriel was still there, while his fate was still being discussed, posed a serious risk of exposing Metatron's role in the whole mess. Entering after it all blew over meant that Aziraphale didn't have a chance to make a connection.

Now let's look at the exact circumstances under which Metatron did enter the bookshop.

He came in at the exact moment Michael was threatening Aziraphale to erase his existence just so he could put a stop to it and chastise the Archangels. He immediately steps into a role of a savior and a voice of reason.

Let's dissect it a little.

Michael's exact words are "I am authorized to remove the name of anyone who helped Gabriel from the Book of Life".

But Metatron insists she "doesn't have the authority to do anything like that".

That begs the question: if Michael really was wrong and never could use the Book, where did she get the idea that she could? True, Michael is portrayed as particularly dim and vain this season. She does attribute herself to more power than she actually has. But her phrasing strongly implies that it was a one-time thing. Michael doesn't think she can use the Book at will, at any time, against whomever she pleases. She believes she has the authorization to use it in this specific instance. That's a strange thing to be confused about, don't you think?

Another glaringly strange thing is how Archangels don't seem to know who Metatron is.

The only person to recognize him immediately is Crowley, which makes sense, considering he had just watched Gabriel's trial. He says the last time he saw the guy, he was a giant floating head, and that triggers Aziraphale's memory, which again, makes sense. In season 1 it was clear Aziraphale had never seen Metatron before - he asked if he was talking to God, and Metatron needed to introduce himself - and it's been a couple of years since then. He hasn't forgotten him but he needed a little tip to recognize him in a different getup.

It's the Archangels' reaction that doesn't make sense. They had all been present at the trial. Saraqael had seen it again at the same time Crowley did. There's no logical reason why they should be so oblivious.

There are quite a few theories about this, the most common being that Crowley recognizes Metatron because he used to be such a high-ranking angel before the Fall, and from all the supernatural entities in the room he knew Metatron the best. And while I am inclined to believe Crowley indeed used to be a big shot in Heaven, I don't think it's a satisfactory explanation for this situation. If that was all there was, there would be no reason for all three of the Archangels to not connect the dots at the same time Aziraphale did. But they didn't. It's only when the Metatron is explicitly called the Metatron that they finally see it.

Personally, I think Metatron is responsible for both things - Michael's misguided belief she had the power to use the Book of Life & and all Archangels suddenly not recognizing Metatron's face, voice, and presence.

Why?

Because it made the Archangels look really bad.

How would it benefit him?

Well, answer honestly, when Metatron first appeared and started scolding the Archangels like they were misbehaving kids, wasn't that satisfying? Didn't you like him just for that short moment?

I sure did, and I believe that was the point. Except that the performance wasn't for our, the audience's sake, but for Aziraphale's. He makes a whole performance of exposing how incompetent the Archangels are and how outraged he is with that.

And what's even more interesting, right from the moment he enters Metatron speaks like Aziraphale! I didn't notice it at first because he is played by Sir Derek Jacobi and old-fashioned language certainly becomes him. But he doesn't speak this way in Heaven! He doesn't say things like "balderdash" or "piffle" or "spit spot". That's Aziraphale's gimmick.

In other words, Metatron says things Aziraphale very likely always wanted to say, and to boot, he says them in the exact manner Aziraphale would actually say them if he had the power. He plays out a fantasy for our poor Principality, who most likely was never backed by anybody in Heaven, and his issues with Archangels were never validated by anybody.

Metatron draws a very clear line between himself and the Archangels. He shows that they are the problem, they are incompetent, they are unreasonable. Not him.

Which is the first step in convincing Aziraphale that maybe he's worth listening to at least.

pairing: mingyu x gn!reader // exes!au // genre: soft angst? more bittersweet than anything else //lowercase intended // wc: 1.7k

recommended listening: closed ending - shaun

you see him again, six months later.

it’s not that you meant to, at least, that’s what you tell yourself. you’d thought it would just have been a nostalgic trip back to one of your favorite coffee shop during your time in university, something akin to a ribbon tied neatly into a bow.

opening the familiar door, you find yourself washed with familiar memories, the little double jingle from the two bells hanging above the entrance, that fragrant scent of coffee you’d clung to as a lifeline as a freshman and all the years following, the warmth from the golden lights that hung from the ceiling. you walk to the back of the queue, still reminiscing over your youth. the shop is strangely empty, especially for a monday morning, but your eyes drift from your surroundings to the man in front of you.

he turns, noticing your presence, and the ribbon comes unfurling out of its loosely-tied knot.

“hi, mingyu.” you don’t even know if you should still be so familiar with him.

mingyu blinks, swallowing hard as he takes in the sight of you. he opens his mouth and manages to get out a “hey—” before the cashier calls for the next in line.

he turns, reluctant, almost as if you'll disappear if he looks away. the cashier repeats his usual greetings, pleasantries expected of a barista, but everything just sounds like low buzzing in your ear as you stare. your hand tightens around the strap of your bag.

you didn’t think he’d still be going here, and apparently he’d thought the same. thinking about it, it really did make sense. if it was your favorite coffee shop, it was his, too, this same place being the location of your morning dates back when you were living together off campus. you really shouldn’t be surprised, and yet, here you are.

"—i'll have an americano." mingyu says, taking out his wallet from his pocket. he'd always teased you about how big his pockets were, a treasure chest of unlimited space, he used to say. you would end up teasing back, blaming it on his freakishly long legs and that the pockets were 'only proportional to the size of giants.' he would end up carrying the stuff you couldn't fit on your person anyway, at the end of the day.

if you look for too long at his back, you can see your own next to him, trying to chime in your order while nudging his hips away, insistences of ‘no i’ll pay, no mingyu stop—” all rendered futile when he uses his height to his advantage and reaches over to swipe his card in victory. you try not to look for too long.

“will that be all?”

“oh, with—”

"with cream and sugar," you blurt out. your hand slaps over your mouth, eyes wide as mingyu looks back with an equally flabbergasted expression.

“shit, i’m so sorry—”

“no, no it’s okay i...” he trails off, turning back to the cashier to confirm his order. “yeah, with an americano with cream and sugar. more sugar than cream. thanks.”

mingyu steps to the side, tucking his wallet back into his pocket and nudges you, gesturing to the corner of the coffee shop that served as the waiting area before you’re called as next in line.

after all is said in done, your coffee order placed, you meet him by the window seats, chair legs scraping against the floorboards as you pull out a stool from underneath the table. 

“sorry again,” you apologize, looking up at him.

he shakes his head, laughing a bit. “no, it’s fine. i almost forgot to say it anyway. though,” mingyu shifts his weight, “you remembered?”

“i never forgot,” you smile lightly. “you never did like it too bitter, no matter what you tried to tell yourself.”

he gives you a sheepish laugh in response. “i tried for the longest time to drink it black. it seemed mature, something an adult would do.”

“oh please,” you roll your eyes. “we’re both adults and i still order those frappucinos on the menu when i feel like it.”

“for your treat-yourself days?”

you grin. “every first friday of the month.”

“only the official ones.” he smiles back.

“see,” you nudge him playfully. “you remember stuff too.”

“you didn’t order your usual macchiato this time, though. you changed your order?” he must have overheard. there’s nothing to be ashamed of, not when he asks so casually, especially not for a measly little thing like a coffee order, but you can’t help the guilt that curls in your stomach.

“yeah, felt like a new change of pace.” sorry, you’re tempted to say. it seems that’s all you can really say to him.

silence falls in the empty space. distantly, you're aware of the periodic jingling of the entrance bells as new customers walk in, the way the manager on duty recognizes the two of you as former regulars and not-so-subtly wipes down a table in eavesdropping distance. the poor table has been squeaking for the past two minutes.

you don't really mind though—all you can focus on is mingyu's presence beside you.

"how's the job?" you ask, resisting the urge to fiddle with the frayed hem of your sleeve. you don't want this to end. not yet. not now.

"i um," he rubs the back of his neck, looking to the ceiling. "i quit."

you stop. "oh."

he smiles, a little forlorn. "there didn't seem to be much of a reason anymore."

a part of you wants to imagine a version of ‘us” where you didn’t leave. where you had stuck through to the end, holding out for a dream of a future that you both had constantly talked about, whispered conversations between butterfly kisses and blankets. and maybe if you’d waited, if you’d just waited, maybe things would be different.

but you think back, and you realize that you just couldn’t. not when every day was spent waiting for him to return home, not when it felt like you were living with a ghost, when you were just so tired and you just wanted it to all stop. you can only handle being in a long-distance relationship with the person living with you for so long, what with mingyu always working overtime trying to earn the extra money you’d never asked for in the first place.

(it doesn’t matter that the money was to save up for that expensive ring you deserved, to get you a house and not a cramped apartment, to be able to have the wedding of your dreams without stressing about funds. but you don’t know that; you’d left before he could give it to you.

you didn’t need any of that, though. you just needed him. and maybe he didn’t know that either.)

“hey,” mingyu hesitates, a few seconds passing. you think he almost regrets speaking again, but he continues after a moment of consideration. knowing him, he probably figuring out the best way to say it, the best way to ask without scaring you off. “you know that picture you took with you?”

of course you know, it was the only picture you’d taken with you when you left. it wasn’t anything glamorous, just a picture of the two of you on graduation day. young and eager and so in love that your smiles can’t contain all of it, it was a snapshot soaked in youth and happiness.

you look at him for a long moment, taking in his brown eyes, his mussed hair that always seemed to curl slightly at the ends, and you wonder if you should tell him the truth. it’s on the tip of your tongue, begging to be said, begging for you to finally be honest. to him. to yourself.

“it was a memory,” you say softly. “and also, my mom really liked that one of us. she still asks about you, you know. i...” you try to not let your voice waver. “i don’t really know what to tell her.”

“oh,” mingyu says, but the words come out airy, caught in the space between an exhale and speech. “i was just wondering because,” he avoids eye contact—for whose sake, you wonder. “it was always my favorite picture of us.”

“mine, too.” it barely comes out as a whisper.

you think he doesn’t hear you, but he does. if you hadn’t spent years by his side you wouldn’t have been able to notice, the slightest shift in his stance, the straightening of his back, the way his grip tightens against the sugar packets he liked to collect to use at home.

“do you...do you want it back?” you ask, not really knowing what to expect. you don’t know what you want him to say—you haven’t known what you’ve wanted for a while now.

“no, it’s okay,” mingyu shakes his head, his smile bittersweet. “keep me with you.”

your breath catches, and it really is not fair. he can’t still make you feel like this, like a silly eighteen year old girl in a new city, living away from home for the first time. you don’t know what pulls at your gut, what to call this emotion, but all you know is that only he can make you feel this way.

the barista calls out your order first, and you bunch your sleeve in your fist. if not here, if not now, if not with him, then when?

“mingyu,” you call. you wonder again if you should still call him like this, if the tenderness that underlies his name when it leaves your tongue should finally die off along with the passing of time, but you decide against it. he would always embody tenderness to you. “i got a new job in another city, one far away. i won’t be able to come back here anymore.”

mingyu blinks, a million feelings flitting past his face in a second, but he settles on content. “okay.” he says, and it’s kind and accepting and everything you loved about him.

(love. you still do)

the story of him ends like this: the bitter scent of roasted coffee bean, the warmth of golden light, and a memory you keep with you forever, tucked away between chapters where he is no longer there.

the bell jingles in goodbye.

DnDoc, The Loch o' the Lowes #2 - The Ettrick Shepherd

Part 1

Previous stories: DnDoc, Coming Home DnDoc, Space Band DnDoc, A Man's a Man DnDoc, The God of Rock 'n' Roll

---

Once they'd all extricated themselves from their wetsuits back in the TARDIS, they climbed very carefully back onto the paddle board in shorts and t-shirts and took it across to the north side of the loch. If they hurried, they could grab dinner from the café in the lochside cabin before it closed for the evening. The Doctor also said he wanted to introduce the others to an old friend, though he was being sufficiently cryptic about it that Rogue didn't think it was going to be straightforward.

   There was a bit of a queue at the café - the slightest sunny day in Scotland seemed to bring the population out in droves - so they decided to go statue first, food after. The Doctor took them across the car park, over a row of giant boulders at the boundary, then into a patch of long grass with a path mown through it. The path took them up a small incline then around the face of a low wooden wall. Rogue had been watching the ground to make sure his slightly tired feet went in the right places, but now he looked up at the enormous marble statue on a high, stocky column.

   It obviously wasn't as tall as a magnificent column in the middle of a city or something - if it was it would probably hit the tree cover - but because you were standing right next to it, it felt mightily imposing. The marble figure on top was sitting on a marble rock, with a marble plaid thrown over his shoulder and an adorable marble dog at his side. On the sides of the column, which the Doctor gestured for them to follow him around, there were a few couplets of simple poetry in memory to James Hogg, the man depicted above.

   "He was a nice lad," the Doctor said. "Terrible liar, but earnest about what he cared about. But at the same time not cheesy. He was oblivious in some ways, but startingly sharp in others."

   "What do you mean bad liar?" Ruby said. "Did he mess you around?"

   The Doctor laughed. "Oh, he's definitely not an ex. We had an argument up in the hills about ghosts once. I was absolutely shitting myself because I kept thinking I could hear things, and he kept rolling his eyes and asking me if I was a southern tourist. I was also white at the time, kind of don't want to know what he'd have said if it happened now. Who knows, maybe it'd have been fine, but I could imagine the word 'voodoo' being used, and not correctly.

   "No, what he lied about was his birthday. He tried to convince people he had the same birthday as Robert Burns, but this was like, categorically untrue based on something previously published. Same thing again with conflicting autobiographical details about when he started writing poetry, god love him."

   Ruby chuckled, but Rogue was distracted. There was never baking heat in Scotland, but he'd been quite warm ever since he towelled off. Whereas now he was shivering. He turned around to face the loch - well, lochs, since from this angle you could see both the Loch of the Lowes and St. Mary's Loch, which was connected to it via a narrow stream, or as it was known in Scotland, a burn. He was sure he could hear some sort of foghorn, but surely there were no boats around; no boat big enough to have a foghorn could have fitted down that burn. It was a low hum he could hear, not unlike the TARDIS, and it was coming from the water.

   He turned back to face the statue. The Doctor had been watching him, and he put his hand on Rogue's upper arm.

   "Hey, you okay?" said the Doctor, rubbing his hand up and down.

   It occurred to Rogue that was the second time the Doctor had asked him that in the past hour.

   I just want to have a nice day out, Ruby had said, a holiday from monsters and gods and stuff. If Scotland doesn't work out this time, I'll never ask to go there again.

   Presumably, she didn't actually mean that forswearing of Scotland forever more, but Rogue still didn't want to ruin the mood of the afternoon, not when he didn't have any evidence that anything was wrong. Mind over matter, motion over mind.

   Rogue put his hand over the Doctor's. "I'm okay, just hungry."

   "Alright, let's go grab some toasties," said the Doctor.

   "Sounds good." Rogue nodded.

   They sat outside at a picnic table to eat their toasties and sip their tea. Rogue could have gone for some fish and chips, in all honesty, but the caravan-shaped café was charming and wildly convenient. Plus this ham and cheese toastie was delicious.

   As the Doctor and Ruby chatted, Rogue kept hearing a buzzing echo. It was like someone on a video broadcast didn't realise they'd left their mic on so he was hearing the instructions and requests from a producer filtering through into some sports commentary or something. Except the content didn't concern programming schedules or pieces to camera.

Poor heartless man! And wilt thou lie

A prey to this devouring flame?

That thou possess not bonny May,

None but thyself has thou to blame.

   He squeezed his eyes shut then opened them again, trying to shake the words out of his head but without anyone noticing.

O tempting spirit I beg of thee

These twisting arguments to desist

How dare thee bring thy heinous words

And compel this mind which pious ist?

   Who were the voices talking to? Clearly not him. Whatever was going on was not meant to be overheard. His shoulders started to rise up around his ears and there was a sinking feeling in his stomach. Whoever this 'pious mind' was, he got the feeling it bloody well better resist or something terrible might be about to happen to 'bonny May.' More frighteningly, neither of the others had heard the voices. It was probably some fragment of poetry he half remembered, something his brain had dug out for him as a crisis response when he got scared in the water and when the Doctor started talking about ghosts. Gods, he was out of practice. He wondered if he'd even be any use as a bounty hunter at this point.

   He looked out over the water, trying to hide his expression from his friends. Maybe he could just be a good tourist instead. He thought he saw a cottage in between the two lochs, but once again a blink took it away. He could find nothing solid to rest his mind upon.

   He felt the Doctor's hand stroking his thigh as he and Ruby talked. Well, at least there was that. He took the Doctor's warm, strong hand and held it, waiting for the fear to pass and wishing he'd never gone swimming.

Human Pentious killing and burying his lover because his lover cheated on him (Pentious)

Got this idea from this song: https://youtu.be/9MHnZNbxcSg?si=trFwZ4L4CgX-C4Eo

Pentious was a genius and very shy. But when it came to his anger it was absolutely frightening. He could be quite belligerent.

Tonight caught his wife messing around with a factory worker, at first he thought she was being attacked but her demands for more only made it certain.

He quietly crept to his childs room then plugging their ears and locking their door. He then collected a hatchet.

"We have a family.... it's small sure but I thought we were happy... she said she loved me... she said she loved me...."

He got progressively louder once he returned to their love scene right as it finished. The two looked at him clutching a hatchet like a madman, as if on queue it began to rain as the two desperately split apart. His wife trembled looking at him

"Honey please- dont do this! You wouldn't really kill me and a innocent man right??"

She plead as he closed in on the man first proving he was serious as he chopped the head off the man getting it stuck in the wall from the force.

His wife took the chance to run as he scrambled for a knife and chased after,

"GET BACK HERE YOU DAMNED WOMAN.... running will only make me wanna rip you apart more dear~"

I walks slowly at the point as shes had the foresight to hide and he doesn't wanna miss her, last thing he needs is her escaping.

"Come on darling~♡ death do we part~ you promised darling and I'm only helping you dearest! You want to part right?? I'll part you right in that damned fireplace~♡"

He carefully looked and stalked,

"Your not dead yet so right your mine~ all mine~♡ oh dearest I love you, you look so good, you know how to please someone really you do... the only issue is you werent pleasing me dearest I know you understand.."

He gently hummed and heard the floor creak behind him causing him to whip around. He took a certian satisfaction seeing her frozen fear filled face.

"Look at me look me in the eyes~ I wanna see the life leave them dear... when I cut through you."

His wife went to run again but tripped, leading to Pentious pinning her to the floor. He was such a giant man, a strong large man, bigger than most in the village, a trait she once found attractive now serving to make him all the more frightening. His large muscular frame from hours of hard labor on machines.

All that strength being used to hold her down, he hadn't killed her yet. She spoke up,

"Please... dont kill me.... why are you staring at me like that??"

Pentious blushed a bit and ran a blade over her cheek,

"Youd make a lovely corpse... I should fix that.."

He stabbed her over and over in the face until the blade broke off, he retrieved the fire poker and returned to destroying her body so not creeps get only ideas.

He recalled their child then. He made a choice then and sharpened the hatchet in the wall. He made sure the death would be peaceful.

Just one wack and his head was off. Of course Pentious killed himself after with zero hesitation as he lit the house on fire.

Truly a grueling scene.

Recap of my festival fun under the cut. I'm just writing this down so I can remember everything.

Download 2024 was awesome. Don't get me wrong, the biblical rain and resulting apocalyptic mud was crazy 🤣 but I managed to keep my footing the whole time, I was careful, and great googly moogly I was glad I had to the accessibility pass for the restrooms. From what I heard the regular portaloos were a HORROR show.

It wasn't raining when we got there on Wednesday, aside from a little sprinkle, but Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, it rained nearly constantly and I was very glad I prepared with my giant purple poncho that made me look like a condom but hey, I was dry!! We had to use trash bags at points to cover the bits that were getting damp lol tent stayed dry... well, ours did. The men of our party were in a different tent and it got a bit swampy 😬

The music finally started on Friday, we waited a bit to go up to the arena due to the weather. Started off at the second stage because I wanted to watch Scene Queen, but watched the first couple bands before that.

Hanabie - I'd never heard of them before, they're a Japanese band and they absolutely smashed their set. Really entertaining, lots of energy, definitely gonna be checking out more of their music.

Halocene - they were good, I was enjoying a good head bop to their tunes.

Scene Queen - I'm in love. Bimbocore is my new favourite. Her music is hilarious and feminist and just downright danceable. Will be trying to see her again!!! (My brother wants to marry her lol)

After those guys, I headed back to main stage. Found a spot on the hill and chilled out in my chair because standing isn't an option for my busted hip (jeebus, I'm old lol).

Those Damn Crows - didn't know they were Welsh! Been listening to them on Planet Rock for months, really enjoyed their show!!

Polyphia - not usually my sort of thing, I nipped off for lunch at this point and listened to them in the queue for cheesy fries. Instrumental for the most part but not horrible to the ears.

Black Stone Cherry - BLAME IT ON THE BOOM BOOM!! I love this band and I've seen them before, they always bring it lol

Royal Blood - always a great show, they had the crowd bopping.

Queens Of The Stone Age - little underwhelming for the entertainment factor and I left after three/four songs because I wanted to avoid the crush getting out of the arena.

By this point, it was getting muddy (see above picture from Friday afternoon). It then rained all night 🤣 the mud was getting really bad by Saturday morning but it's a festival in the UK, you have to be prepared for this shit to happen lol glad I didn't opt for the Yorkshire puddings in the village though as apparently a bunch of folks got food poisoning - I hope anyone affected is okay!!

With the aforementioned apocalyptic mud, I decided to stay on the hill again for Saturday's bands.

Bambie Thug - I was not expecting to like this, but I fucking did!! She was great, her rendition of The Cranberries "Zombie" had me in fucking tears as I sang along. She had so much energy and passion, really great set.

Wargasm - literally only listened to this band for the first time last week and decided to see them, they were really good. I'm gonna be checking out more of their stuff.

The Hunna - wandered off for lunch again. They were good, but I'm not sure I gave them the attention they deserved because I was so hungry.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - only heard of these guys in passing, though they were a very enjoyable band!! They got a guy out of the crowd with his little boy at one point, made sure they were okay. It was a common theme across the weekend, with bands making sure the fans were okay, always nice to see compassion from them ❤

Babymetal - look, I'll freely admit, I didn't like Babymetal when I saw them at Reading a few years ago but after Hanabie, I gave it another chance. Sadly, they only played three or four songs because of the biblical rain storm that started during their set, but they were still fantastic and I think my husband is going to hate the music I'm going to start listening to lol

Enter Shikari - I like one of their songs, and not many others, but my bestie LOVES them, so I listened. I then wandered off and bought a hat for my kid because everywhere was deserted at the time and no one else's shoes could withstand the big puddle by the shops (New Rocks, all the way). Was funny watching the lead singer throw himself into the big muddy puddle though, his intrusive thoughts won 🤣

The Offspring - WHAT A FUCKING SHOW!!! These guys still bring it, thirty years later. I felt like I was fifteen again, rocking out to Come Out And Play, Pretty Fly For A White Guy, and a great cover of Blitzkrieg Bop (which made me miss my daughter because that's one of her favourite songs). I've seen The Offspring a few times now, it's a band I'll always watch at a festival.

Fall Out Boy - this band was the whole reason for me being there. I love Fall Out Boy and know most of their songs by heart. When I say I had no voice left by the end, I mean it. I was screaming, crying, head banging, throwing the horns, just having the best time of my life. I cried when they played The Phoenix. Screamed along to This Ain't A Scene. I wish I could go to every single show they play. People thought they weren't headliner material but every single hater can suck it because the crowd was huge and everyone was singing along. I'd share the video but you can hear my godawful screeching and no one needs that lmao. The crush getting out of the arena afterwards was awful.

By the Sunday, the mud was so bad that a lot of people were just leaving but our tent was dry and the only mud we'd gathered was on our shoes and jeans. This is outside our tent:

There were only three bands I was desperate to see that day so we headed up to the arena a little later. I wandered, bought some very naughty and sugary donuts to share with my brother (who has eaten very well this weekend because I can't finish a meal to save my life lol) and then sat down to watch the bands again.

Bowling For Soup - GET WELL SOON, CHRIS!! Chris was hospitalized a few days before Download, but the band, with his blessing, played on. They still did a fantastic set, rick-rolled the whole audience (about 80,000 people at this point) and brought all the laughs to the stage. I'd seen them once before this, and both times were excellent shows.

Sum 41 - their last UK festival appearance ever and it was a blast. They played all their greatest hits, got the crowd pumping, and hopefully it won't be their last UK show!!

Limp Bizkit - Fred Durst, despite looking like he could audition for Santa, is still full of energy and drew what looked like the biggest crowd of the weekend. Everyone was dancing and singing and having a great time, and I still remember the words to all their songs lol plus they had the whole crowd singing to Careless Whisper at one point which was amazing.

Avenged Sevenfold - little disappointed with the lack of entertainment with these guys, I left before they finished to avoid another crush and apparently they had a lot of technical difficulties. It's not the first time I've been disappointed by them but I didn't go in with high hopes 🤣

The whole weekend was just chill vibes, despite the weather. Food was good (we apparently avoided the raw chicken and food poisoning), disabled restrooms were amazing, no one got too drunk (I don't drink, so not a problem for me) and the camps surrounding us were respectful yet fun and played some great, very random music on the Sunday night that had us all dancing on the last patches of grass between tents.

I don't expect anyone to read this, it's just for me really, so I can remember all the little details and the bands and just reminisce for the last few moments before I'm back to school runs and work!!

Re-quests Closed!

Edit: After having them open for nearly a month, I'm closing requests so that way I can like properly get to each one! I'll edit this again when I finish the queue and reopen.

After taking a long break from requests and writing in general, I've finally reached a point where I wanna start writing again and I have some amount of free time, so I will be reopening re-quests! 

Please read the rules bullet pointed below before making a request. ESPECIALLY for 3H/Engåge since those are the more popular requests.

Rules:

ONLY male growth & only F-E characters.

Will write for any F-E game but please be aware my 3 h0pes and engåge might be a bit off character wise. 

Also specificity is sexy! Stating preferred sizes/body type helps me personalize stories.

Will write weight gain, muscle growth, giant/tiny

Pretty comfortable writing about most any sizes tbh! 

WON'T write anything incest or anything with minors 

slob or vore are also things I do not write 

Currently not doing NSFW requests,

They take longer and also kinda not feeling great about my writing on nsfw

Will not write anything involving minors, regardless of whether they're the ones growing or not.

Also depending on how I feel about certain characters will not write because even if there's no canon age, some characters I perceive as minors so I don't feel comfortable! 

Don't have a particular full list, but send a request and I'll see. Fine with most characters that aren't like flat out children or minors.

IN PARTICULAR FOR ENG@GE 

I will NOT write for:

Jeän & Clãñńe for obvious reasons

A|čyst, F0gåd0, & R0såd0 due to their S supports being written as clearly platonic and the other younger royals also clearly minors.

FOR 3H

I will not write anything that's pre time skip.

Does not matter if the character is 18+!

FOR F@TES

I will not write any C0rrin ship that involves their sibling/åzura. 

I don't care that they're technically not blood related.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

STEPH!!! hi!!!!

*even more hugs because we all deserve more hugs!*

sooo you seemed interested in my babbling and my book recs so here i am 🙃🐢 hope you don't mind...

i just finished reading "another day" which is basically "every day" by david levithan but from the GIRL's view! i swear this author just keeps stealing my heart-

i cried AGAIN at the ending oh GAWSH THE FEEEEELS HOLY CRAPPIDY POOH!!

it's sooo interesting and fascinating and the writing style 😩 *chef's kiss* if i could i would marry it seriously- i read this one on my kindle and i highlighted every second paragraph i feel like xD

Rhiannon falls so hard for A and you never realize until you read another day!!! it's so cool... and A suddenly realizes how much they are missing from having to switch bodies (tho there are advantages of course)

(i'm suddenly thinking of all these people that follow you and are super confused what this weird turtle is talking about... lemme throw in an apology abou that - sorry turtles!)

anygays it was awesome (apparently i have read it but i had no memory if it lmao) and i discovered there is a THIRD BOOK WHICH CONTINUES THEIR STORY!!!!

gaaaahhhh i'm so excited for it!!!

i'll decide if i will write a johnlock AU after reading that book (it's called "some day") but it would be a fun project!!! even though i am not sure how to write this in my own style and ig it would be giant but i am so hooked omg!

PS: i probably just should have reblogged one of the other posts... oops. sorry about the inconvenience!

PPS: it's 2:45am where i live and i am like staaarving and it takes SO MUCH willpower to not just start the next (and last 😭) book... (okay i already got a sneak peek but still!!) yk when you're just so entranced by a book/story/universe you wanna keep reading forever but also can't wait to get to the end?? my gosh readers are poor creatures..

PPPS: omg i am so sorry this got so long!!! i'll stop now! hope you're okay/doing better! you are awesome!

all the love and much more (flowers? chocolate?)

-turtely 🐢

(following up on this post)

HI TURTELY!!

Listen, I love when all of y'all come here to ramble and be excited! It makes me very happy to know when Lovelies are happy, and it's comforting to know other people have hyperfixations like me, y'know?? I think it's amazing!

Wow, that book series sounds SO amazing!! I hope you write an AU for it, I think it will be awesome!!!!

And don't apologize, I usually miss reblogs until it comes back through my queue, so it would have been another month LOL. Sending another ask is fine HAHAH!

AND GO TO BED!!!! You're so silly!

And I'm doing okay, just very tired and very stressed, and looking forward to the long weekend coming up in a few weeks, since I booked a day off and we have Monday as a stat day, LOL.

Thank you so much for sending me this ask, it always makes me smile :) AND THANK YOU FOR THE HUGS!! I am so starved for affection and human touch, LOL.

Wednesday 5th July 2023

Overslept but made it to Downtown Banff to investigate tours. We wanted to visit the Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain. In all naivety we trotted along to the ticket booking office at one of the rather posh hotels in Downtown expecting to book for a convenient time today. I was not expecting them to give me the single option of 6.50pm tomorrow. Then we received a barrage of telephone numbers which turned out to be a price! There was no choice so the flexible friend changed hands. Then warming to this game the bloke said what about Lake Louise? Now this is a problem. We discovered this yesterday that access is very difficult. Its neighbour Lake Moraine already has a complete ban on private cars. I can see the same happening for Louise. All slots on the regular town buses are booked for days ahead. You can queue but it takes hours to get a lift. So I listened again to the telephone numbers and partially opted for a pickup tour tomorrow early. Book the gondola and I'll go collude with my wife about the Lake Louise thing. Oh he said, you like to canoe? I can arrange that. COLLUDE I said, COLLUDE, my canoeing days are definitely over.

Well we figured if we want to get to the place it will have to be the flexible friend again. So we are booked for the am.

With today now to ourselves we set off along the Bow River to view the Bow Falls. We set out along the path and the all pervading scent on the breeze was pine as strong as furniture polish, but a man passed by and the breeze changed to pure cannabis. We have to get out of here before we get a liking for it. Bow Falls was spectacular with mountains as backdrop and a level change of several meters along the full width of the river causing a thunderous roar before calming again on a turn the map referred to as Surprise Corner.

The walk continued in the other direction towards 'Cave and Basin'. In 1883 William McCardell, brother Tom and Frank McCabe following work on the Canadian Pacific went prospecting in this area and came across holes in the ground and a hot sulphur spring. The place smelt of a school chemistry laboratory. After many battles for ownership and exploitation the place was seen to be of great importance and in 1885 Parliament stepped in making it Canada's first National Park. The government then proceeded in 1887 to develop the place themselves by building a bathhouse. Cures for all sorts of ailments were envisioned. Personally the thought of sitting in hot sulphuric water would not be my idea spending my time off from the daily toil.

The original name for Banff was Siding 29 whilst it was purely a construction site for the Canadian Pacific railway. Clearly this name lacked a little in gravitas, so it was renamed in 1884 after the Scottish birthplace of George Stephen, the President of the railway. On arrival, first impressions of Banff were a little mixed. After the places we had seen on route, Banff was busy crowded and commercialised. Today, all seems different. It is a very pleasing manicured, clean, timbered Alpine style town. The trouble is that is likely to be the opinion also of the other six million people here. If all tourists were to be sucked up by a giant vacuum cleaner the remaining population would be 9,656. Downtown's endless rows of gift shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlours gives way seemlessly to smart expensive hotels and apartments. This is one smart tourist operation which exists simply because of the eye boggling scenery of mountains of epic proportions, azure blue rivers, lakes, waterfalls and deep emerald pine forests. Everywhere you look you are blown away with the beauty of this place and if you have to share it with all these other people then I guess, so be it. When the sun shines, they can be forgiven for being there as well. It was interesting that the further we walked from the centre, the fewer people we met. Instead we met two Elk in a clearing, two red squirrels and a Columbian Ground Squirrel. We were told later that Elk can charge at you.

Great day. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. We even enjoyed a flat white and a local SB tonight as well.

ps. We saw a man dressed in a kilt today. I didn't think it was customary though to wear it as a mini skirt with black tights! He will be spoken to by the Clan leader no doubt!

[crownshattered-arch]

|| After some thought, I figured out what I'm going to do. I'll wait until Tuesday or Wednesday, and if the blog is fixed then, I'll resume activity here. If not, and if I'm in the mood for it, I'll switch BACK to my original blog and continue things there like before. The whole reason I made this blog was for the giant switch to beta mode which will no doubt come eventually. But since it hasn’t happened yet, I’ll just do things over there until this blog is fixed.

Until Tuesday-Wednesday, I won’t be here. It’s a little jarring that being shadowbanned like this has upset me this much. Such a large part of my daily life is writing on here, and now that I’m not able to do it, it’s really upsetting me. That makes me realize that I really need a break. Pursue other interests, spend time with family, whatever. I just need a break. My queue is going to run with headcanon posts to try and fix this shadowban issue, but once Tuesday/Wednesday comes, I’ll make a final decision.

Thank you for your patience!

ghosts and heart of glass? 👀

Before anyone yells at me, this is in an overnight queue. I am very much asleep or least when I'm typing this I hope I am anyway.

Ghosts is of course Ghosts he left behind, my beloved put on hold because of personal reasons but soon as I've had my Trollhunters rewatch (Just catching up with some other shows first) I'll be back to it. Jim not making it home after his t-juice dip is just such perfect angst bait that needs to be run off with more often.

Not much is written of the next chapter because of afore mentioned issues but can have this, as a treat:

It opens as a slight mirror to the ending of the previous chapter. Not a big one, just what was going on upstairs while Jim was coming through the tunnel. He did hear Barbara and Merlin arguing after all...

As for A Heart of Glass, Douxie getting picked up by the Arcane Order. The next chapter hasn't been started yet but according to the timeline we're taking a road trip with Bells and Skrael in the 13th century. Why? Well the young wizard has been trying to figure out where exactly the fabled Lady of the Lake was because Merlin kept it a secret and thinks he has a lead. Those two decide to tag along partly because fuck Merlin partly as they're genuinely curious what he's going to actually do when he realises she's a giant aquatic creature not human as he'd been lead to believe.

I found this in my server notes just now:

"If they do not respect you, Hisirdoux, you should just kill them and be done with it."

"… We've talked about this I'm not killing customers even if it gets tempting."

"Yet you could spare others from suffering the same how did you phrase it, attitude! Surely if not for yourself then someone else?"

"Absolutely not."

Honestly how can I not love their dynamic it's great.

Pixar requests:

Toy Story: Toys that can come to life and go limb when other humans are present? Strange...

Monsters, Inc: A dimension where monsters came to the human world to scare children for fuel? Weirdly terrifying!

Ratatouille: A very intelligent rat that owns a goddamn restaurant? Strangely delicious!

Coco: A boy who manage to enter the Land of the Dead? Oddly death-defying!

Luca: A race of sea people who can turn to normal humans on dry land? So strange!

Turning Red: A generational power where they can turn into a giant red panda? Generational yikes!

Toy Story - I considered it hm... I think I'll introduce it in a tale or something first. As for a file, I'll see what I can do.

Monsters, Inc - Oh yeah, the Foundation will have some conflict with the CDA upon first contact, but they can find a way to work it out. The GOC on the other hand, they are going to have much more issues. Though now I think it would work better as an action report... we'll see what happens.

Ratatouille - Sure maybe I can make Remy a cook at an Ambrose Restaurants establishment. They would have no reason to say no to such a talented chef. Though I'll have to think of a tale to include him in.

Coco - Hm... Actually, yeah but I'm going to make it an event and cursed class anomaly where people will go into the afterlife after stealing form the dead on the day of the dead. Not sure how much of the movie I can tie in but I'll see what I can do.

Luca - Hm, I'll probably just add them to the Species of Interest document. Sorry but outside of a few tales I haven't done yet I can't see them fitting anywhere else.

Turning Red - Okay now that's an anomaly! Yeah, it's on the queue. Also, since its cannon she kept her red panda, I don't think anyone would be mad if I made Mei be processed by the Anomalous Employment Division.

[intimidating-fettuccine]

Can you do a cuddling scenario with Toby please <3

Feeling a bit angsty this morning

Toby, as I've said before, is rarely the happy, excitable boy he so frequently gets depicted as. He has so much trauma, so many struggles, and after being raised in the hellhole that was his house before the mansion in my canon, it weighs heavily on his mind, and sometimes he just can't be that person. He can't be the happy person so many people have recognized him as, and that tears him down and destroys him.

It's days like today, where he wakes up feeling numb, empty, where the sadness has wretched its claws into him and held him tight, where he doesn't know what to feel, where he can't keep his mind clear. It's days like today where he refuses to get out of bed, out of the warmth and comfort of his blankets, and where he'll lay, unmoving and unfeeling for the entirety of the day. Luckily, he has someone like you around to make sure that he's not alone during these times.

~

"Toby, can I come in?" Your voice echoes gently through the halls of the mansion, and after waiting for a few minutes and receiving no response, you take that as your queue to enter. Even in moods like this, if Toby didn't want to see you, he'd have told you.

Upon entering the room, it's easy to spot Toby, the giant lump under his mountain of blankets, curled up into a ball. You can tell he's awake from his posture, as he always hunches up a specific way, and you can already tell what look he has on his face, eyebrows scrunched together in frustration, mouth turned down into a frown. It's one you've encountered many times, and one you'll work to soothe.

"Can I lay with you?" Your voice is gentle and whispered, and after waiting for a few moments, a stiff, small nod is the permission you need to crawl under the covers and wrap your arms around his back.

He remains stiff in your arms for a few minutes, but gradually he begins to sink back into you, begins to welcome the feeling of your arms around him and your breath on his neck. When he feels you press a nice, smooth kiss to the back of his neck he shivers in response, and you can feel him becoming smaller and smaller against you. He loves feeling that way, tiny within your arms, safe and comforted.

"I know my words mean nothing to you right now, that your mind will tell you I'm wrong, but everything is going to be okay. You're the most important person in my life, and I love you. You're amazing, Toby, and I'll always be here for you."

You receive no answer, but that's okay. You can tell your words have achieved their purpose when you feel him shudder against you, and when the tears start to fall and his sobs begin to sound throughout the room you feel no need to point them out. Instead, you hold onto him tighter, press kisses to him, and remind him again and again that everything will all be okay. It's not much, but it's more than he could ever ask for.

Pairing (s): MSBY Four - Bokuto Koutarou, Miya Atsumu, Hinata Shoyo and Sakusa Kiyoomi x gn! reader

Genre: fluff!

Warning (s): None!

Enjoy!

Bokuto Koutarou

The grocery store is packed during the weekend, and the two of you are only free during the weekends to do your grocery shopping.

You knew that you would easily lose him during such busy days, so you insisted that he never let go of your hand.

Obviously, he is more than happy to hold your hand because he loves how big his hand is compared to yours.

You pushed the trolley around, filling it with fresh vegetables and fruits while he looks around the mart.

While you were busy choosing the watermelon, unknowingly, Bokuto decided to explore the supermarket on his own.

He just went to the snack aisle and got a few snacks and heads back to the fresh produce section, and you were not there.

Bokuto reached out to his pocket to find it empty.

His phone was with you, and you were nowhere to be found.

So, what does he do?

"The caretaker of Bokuto Koutarou, your child is currently at the customer service counter. Please come and pick him up." A loud announcement rang through the store, and you wanted to hide your face.

Everyone around you started whispering about the professional athlete Bokuto Koutarou really lost, or was it another child with the same name as him?

You asked a kind soul for you to help you look after your trolley while you went and go collect your lost child.

"Baby! You're here!" He ran up to you and threw his arms around, slightly lifting you up.

Your cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and you apologised profusely to the receptionist at the counter while pulling your giant boyfriend away.

The young kid that was waiting with your trolley was excited when he saw Bokuto with you. He was a big fan of your boyfriend. You helped them take a picture, and he wraps his arms around you.

"That was so embarrassing...Kou, can you just hold onto my shirt and never let go?" He shook his head, and you tilt your head in confusion.

Did he want to get lost again?

"Nope, I'm going to hug you and never let you go!" He got behind you and wrapped his arms tightly around you.

Miya Atsumu

Normally, you did the grocery shopping alone since he is tired after training and doesn't drive.

So, the grocery shopping chore became yours.

He has a rest day and offered to pick up the groceries with you on this rare occasion.

It was a pleasant surprise, and you were glad to have a helping hand to help you.

You brought him to Costco, and it's going to be easy to lose him, a new-timer who has never been to Costco.

You warned him and told him to stay close to you and don't stray away from you.

He just nods his head and proceeds to ignore your warnings.

Atsumu was kind of upset that you were treating him like a child, but he overestimates himself.

Because within 15 minutes of entering the store, he has already lost you.

So, instead of calling you and asking where are you, he got another trolley and proceeded to do his own shopping.

Since you were busy with the shopping list, you didn't even notice your boyfriend was not following you anymore.

He was fascinated by the big store and got lots of stuff, ones that you two don't really need.

After a while, he realised that you have actually forgotten about him and literally went and did your own shopping.

When he was about to make a quick call to you, his phone died.

So, he went and paid for his stuff first and head to the customer service counter.

"Y/l/n Y/n, your child Miya Atsumu is currently at the customer service counter; please come and pick him up." Everyone heard it, so did you, but you continue your shopping.

This man, even after you warned him, still went and got separated from you.

So, you deliberately took your own sweet time and went a few rounds around a particular aisle.

You purposely lined up at the longest queue for your payment.

By the time you were done, he has been waiting with other lost kids for an hour or two.

"That was mean of ya! It was so embarrassing!" He buried his face in the crook of your neck; you awkwardly apologised to the cranky receptionist that was grumbling about how youngsters were so irresponsible.

Atsumu recounts his tale of how the lost kids there were laughing at an adult who got lost and has to be sent to the customer service, but he voluntary went himself.

"Serves you right. I told you to stick right next to me. Tsumu, why did you buy all of these? We have it at home..." You gaped at the amount of stuff that he bought.

"Really? I didn't see it. Oh well, it's just more stocks then." He grinned playfully, expecting you to laugh, but you let out a deep sigh.

"This is why I have a shopping list for a reason; it is so that we don't overbuy! Tsumu, you're such a hoarder!" He opened his mouth and tries to explain himself, but nothing came up.

You loop your arms around his neck and kisses his cheeks.

"It's fine; I can deliver some to Samu. Don't worry." You reassure him when you notice his crestfallen expression.

"Stop pouting. You did well today, but next time, just stick close to me?" He nods his head and you two head to your car.

Hinata Shoyo

It was all a small mistake that leads to you two in the current situation.

Hinata knows the danger of losing you in the grocery store because your purse has his phone and his wallet.

But he holds your hand tightly as you two entered the store.

At first, it was going well, there were not many people in the store, and you two were out on a date.

Until the sudden increase of patrons in the store.

Hinata was sure to hold your hand tightly, but you heard of some discount from the housewives nearby; you let go of him and head towards the frozen aisle.

Oh no, he is left alone, and there was nothing he could do.

His fans came up to him and asked for photos and autographs, so he stayed and interact with them, hoping that you would come back for him.

Yeah, you were definitely not going back to find him as you made friends with the housewives as they give you tips about discounts.

Even the butcher chatted with you for a while.

So, he went to the customer service counter and requested them to make an announcement.

"The guardian of Hinata Shoyo, please proceed to the customer service counter to pick up your child." That was when you realised that Hinata was no longer beside you.

You picked up the remaining items on the lists and head to the register to pay for the groceries. Gosh, you felt like an awful significant other, losing him and not realising earlier.

But, the new knowledge and tips that you've gotten might be worth it, just kidding.

You were going to make a delicious meal for him to make up for your mistake earlier.

He looked relieved when he saw you walking towards him.

"Sho-chan! I'm so sorry! I lost you and even forgot about you. Can you forgive me?" You apologised profusely, and he chuckles, seeing your guilty expression.

You buried your face into his chest, and he pats your head to tell you to not blame yourself. It was all good, but still, you felt awful.

"Let's go home. I have picked up some good cuts of beef; I'll cook a good meal for you!"

"Sure, let's go." He kisses the top of your head and you two head towards the parking lot.

Sakusa Kiyoomi

Alright, Sakusa would make the perfect housewife. He is good at household chores, cooking? He is the perfect husband in the making.

He does the grocery shopping, and you would stay at home.

But, you felt like accompanying him to the store, so he allowed you to follow him.

You were wearing one of his hoodies and a pair of black sweats, and he was wearing similar attire to you.

He made sure you held his hand since you were short and could easily blend into the crowd. (a/n - omi is just a giant.)

It's been a while since you came out shopping with him, and it was fun getting out once in a while.

You can't help but want to explore the supermarket on your own.

So, you went on your own; after all, you're a grown adult. Nothing bad would happen.

Right?

Oh ho ho, Sakusa turned around, and you were gone.

He starts to panic because you were not behind him, and he couldn't see you in the crowd.

Sakusa calls you and felt his left pocket buzzing.

It was your phone buzzing in his pocket.

He sighs and decided to finish his list before finding you.

Meanwhile, you had enough money for a popsicle, and you got your favourite flavour and head to the customer service counter.

"Excuse me, can you please make a lost child announcement?" The receptionist immediately sat up in her seat and apologised for not noticing you earlier.

"Where's the lost child?" You pointed at yourself. She nodded her head blankly.

"Yeah, Sakusa Kiyoomi is my guardian. Thank you." This whole situation was bizarre, but she made the announcement for you anyways.

"Sakusa Kiyoomi, your child is at the customer service counter; please come and pick up your lost child."

You were literally chatting with the receptionist when he rushed over to the customer service counter. He sighed, relieved that you were safe. He apologised for the inconvenience he caused.

"You got me worried. Just stay at home, okay?" He kisses your forehead. You shook your head.

"Nope! I'm coming with you from now on!"

Oooh, my first headcanon where I did four characters at once! It was quite fun and I might write more of these in the future!

I hope y'all enjoy this!

Stay safe and healthy!

With love,

Rosalie🍓
