#It's so fun to watch him just being casually curious and annoying haha he's so vicious so often it's really interesting

[vargaslovinghours]

Reading days are always the most fun

[sandbees]

Okay I was thinking about how the other charathers that Arent the great Seven would react to the NRC students in the house of mouse AU. Like i can Imagine Azul asking Ariel if She wants ti make a deal with him and Ariel Is like "lol no", or the First year see Cruella de vil at One of the tables and they are like "She look so much like Crewel that She's giving us PTSD" or kalim and Aladdin becoming buddies :D.

Well, let me put in some headcannons then:

Word goes around that some of the Great Disney villains come to visit Yuu and everyone gets jealous.

So now whenever Yuu goes to work they always get asked to have them visit their world.

So, Yuu just says, “Meh ok, you guys can visit me whenever just ask one of the Great Seven or go through the mirror in my dressing room-“

And suddenly Yuu gets someone they met from the House of Mouse ever other day. It’s literal chaos and Yuu doesn’t know if they should feel exasperated or flattered.

Anyways, here’s some interactions between the dorms and some Disney Characters:

Heartslybul: Obviously when Alice comes to visit, she comments on how Heartslybul reminds her of the Queen of Hearts’ garden. When Yuu mentions that they paint the roses red, Alice sarcastically asks, “Does the dorm leader behead people who don’t paint the roses?” “...Well, he’s more lenient now but...” “...You’re serious?”

Ace and Alice get along swimmingly, basically quick quips and a lot of teasing. Yuu regrets introducing them to each other because they know the two are going to get into some sort of trouble. Deuce also gets along with Alice, though he can get lost in Alice’s rambles in imagination.

I think Alice would get along with Trey and Cater. I mean, they both give big brother vibes (Trey more than Cater). Trey would give Alice some tarts and Alice is like, “....He’s cool.”

Cater is going to take a bunch of pictures, and Alice is very curious about the device he’s holding (I don’t think phones or the internet existed during Alice’s time so...). Cater ends up teaching Alice about the internet and phones.

Riddle...ohhh noo. Once Alice broke one of the 810 rules and Riddle lightly scolded her for it. Alice thinks most of the rules are ridiculous and while Riddle has toned down on being strict, he’ll quickly get annoyed with Alice questioning the rules. There’s rules for a reason! The dorm was founded on these rules!!

Savannaclaw: It’s Simba, obviously. He’s curious to see the dorm after his...nefarious uncle. It’s much more nicer than he expected, though he’s a little off put by the dorm’s...rowdiness.

But he’s impressed with the Magishift practices they have when Yuu showed them.

He likes Jack, right off the bat. Jack has this sense of justice that he can relate to. I think they would get along pretty well. Oh, and probably how strong and buff Jack is.

Simba is wary of Ruggie, due to him being a hyena beastmen. He has...bad memories of hyenas. His wariness is correct, since Ruggie has tried to swindle Simba and Yuu to do some of his work. Does the relationship get better? Only if Yuu makes them hang out with each other haha.

Leona reminds Simba of Scar...to a certain degree. Lazy, cunning, and has this look where it seems like he could be planning something nefarious...

Ok, maybe not that bad, but Simba is weary of Leona. He kind of expected a character similar to Scar since this is the dorm based on him but...still. It’s really odd. It’s kind of rocky, but if Cheka comes over to visit, well...it could get better.

I mean, Leona does find Cheka annoying and calls him a brat but...Simba can tell there’s no malicious desire towards Cheka, which raises Leona’s “evil people don’t interact” list. That doesn’t mean Leona’s in the clear, but he’s ok.

Octavinelle: Surprise, surprise, it’s Ariel! She comes over, human legs and all. (Don’t worry! She got them from the nicer sorcerers). She wanted to visit Yuu and see how great NRC was! They had fun, and then they went to Mostro Lounge.

Ariel is terrified of the Tweels. They give her this...off putting feeling and they’re very intimidating. She does not trust them at all. She does like how they get up close and how they speak as if she’s some poor soul waiting to be taken advantage over.

That’s also why she does not trust Azul at all. He reminds Ariel of Ursula - especially when he tries making a contract with her. Uh-uh, no way. Never again.

This leads to Ariel dubbing NRC a dangerous place for Yuu to stay at. Why doesn’t Yuu come live with her and her family back at her world? Surely it’s much more safer than here! Why, Melody already sees Yuu as a big sibling so why not just stay at the castle permanently?

Ursula fumes at the thought of her enemy trying to take Yuu away and become their parent. That’s her role, dammit!

Scarabia: Kalim invites Aladdin, actually. It’s the most funniest scenario. Yuu mentioned to Kalim about the street rat that wooed the princess and Kalim says, “:00 WE SHOULD INVITE HIM!!” Jamil sighs and facepalms.

It’s actually going great! Aladdin is kind of shocked at the big party that Kalim threw, but it was a great welcome. He’s shook that Kalim apparently trusted Aladdin enough to show him the treasury room. “It’s open for all of the dorm to use! I don’t need much of it!”

Wasn’t NRC rumored to be a villain’s school??? What is this ball of sunshine doing here???

Actually, the Scarabia duo are good in his eyes. Sure, a little rough around the edges with Kalim being a bit too naive and Jamil being more of a watching snake, but they’re better than what he expected. Aladdin gets along with them pretty well!

And then they go on a carpet ride when Kalim introduces Aladdin to his magic flying carpet.

Yuu and Jamil scream at the two of them to get down as they fly across the night sky.

Pomfiore: oh no. Oh no no no. Snow White visiting Pomfiore is like...Neige visiting.

Vil is cold to Snow White, and she knows why. She’s seen the images that Yuu had of this “Neige Leblanc”. He certainly reminds her of her younger days. Which is why she completely understands why Vil is so standoffish of her.

What she doesn’t expect is Rook singing her praises and also kind of...watching her. It’s low key creepy but Yuu says it’s normal and since he doesn’t mean any harm Snow White lets it slide. They do have a good conversation though. Snow White learns to understand Rook’s...eccentric hobbies.

Epel and Snow White go together like apples and oranges. They go pretty well together, but they have contrasting differences. They could be passed of as siblings with their cute looks, as much as Epel hates to admit it. Though I’d like to think they have this “Soft big sister with a gremlin of a little brother” dynamic. Or “Big sister that is harmless but has a badass little bother” dynamic. Just...a cool sibling dynamic, basically.

Ignihyde: Hercules comes by when he hears that a dorm was based off of Hades. He had to see what it was like. He expected the doom and gloom, but he didn’t expect all the technology.

He and Ortho go along swimmingly. I mean, he’s pretty chill around the more upbeat and cheery dorm member, at least. (Seriously, the others were such buzzkills). He also gets a good impression on Idia when Ortho affectionately talks about his big brother! Wow, so the kids here do have a heart! Unlike Hades-

Ok, so as much as Ortho talks so highly of Idia, Hercules does not see how Ortho does. I mean, Idia is a complete shut in and gloomy recluse! Why do you stick around him?! It isn’t until he speaks his mind about that comment does Ortho turn into a crazy murder machine. (“How DARE you speak of that about my brother!!”) Yuu has to save Hercules and the entire dorm before Ortho blows up the school.

So now Hercules sees how inseparable the two are and how much they care for each other, which yeah, that’s pretty cool. (Is also low key jealous, how come his half brothers weren’t like that?)

Diasomnia: Aurora visits with Maleficent. Both do not share ill will after their stories are completed. They actually do make amends. So Maleficent invited Aurora to see her grandson, and Aurora politely accepts.

They have tea with Malleus, and it is a very pleasant conversation. Aurora gets along well with Malleus, even suggesting maybe she should invite him and Maleficent to her kingdom one day. (Maybe when she gives birth to a beautiful baby. Maleficent liked that)

Lilia is also a fun one to be around! Aurora was so surprised by his scare that she had laughed. Ah, what a funny fae! Why, she hadn’t laughed this hard since...well, never. She likes Lilia and will come by if she needs a good laugh.

Poor Sebek though....he acts all uptight around Aurora because she’s a Queen and also aquatinted with Maleficent...he must be respectful to her at all costs! It takes a long time for Sebek to at least act a little casual around her. Maleficent says it’ll take some time, though Aurora isn’t sure if that time will come on her lifetime...but for the meantime, she is still happy to be around Sebek’s presence and have pleasant conversations with him.

Aurora and Silver...ok, let me say this: they got along during a sleepover. The Diasomnia gang + Maleficent and Aurora had a sleepover in the dorms to “better know each other”. I also think Aurora would feel sympathy for Silver if the conversation of him tending to fall asleep came up. Heavens knows she still has her sleepy spells even after her curse was broken.

Also- wofhenod I just imagine Aurora and Silver walking in the forest together and a bunch of animals surround them. (Yuu finds them and cries when they actually attracted a bunch of adorable puppies (or whatever animal you find cute). Cute, adorable animals that are so gentle with them that they start to cry due to stress from being at NRC (Silver and Aurora look at Yuu with concern and gently start comforting them)

Winfendien Suddenly I want a twin dynamic with Silver and Aurora. Even a sibling dynamic would be cool. Just two sleepy siblings that won’t hesitate to kick your ass.

[archived-kin]

caught in a twin courtship

note from kin: i’m going to be honest i only really wrote this because the title is fun to say, so it isn’t as cohesive as i normally would have wanted to make it

(this is an au where the twins aren’t separated by the unknown god! instead, just their world-hopping powers were stolen, and that’s why they’re journeying to find said god - to get their powers back so that they can go home. i’ve also excluded paimon since i kind of forgot about her while writing this haha)

(this doesn’t follow canon at all since reader and the twins just kind of start wandering about after the dvalin incident rather than heading straight for liyue oops)

fandom: genshin impact

character(s): gn!reader, lumine, aether, diluc, venti, jean

pairing(s): aether/reader/lumine

warning(s): i don’t think so??

genre: fluff with a little bit sprinkling of angst

you first meet the twins in the aftermath of the stormterror battle. it isn’t a glamorous introduction by any means - it’s pretty unflattering, actually - but it definitely makes a powerful first impression.

the group - aether, lumine, venti, diluc, and jean - are on their way back to mondstadt city, making small talk here and there, but mostly just walking in silence.

then they hear a yell in the distance.

jean and lumine both drop into a battle stances, venti leaps to hide behind aether with a very unmanly squeak of fear… but diluc, who arguably should have been the most alerted by this occurrence, just gives a resigned sigh and pauses.

a split second later, a figure comes speeding up to the group. you barrel up to diluc and immediately punch him square in the stomach, yelling “why didn’t you tell me you were going after stormterror?!”

aether and venti both give matching gasps of horror at the blatant disrespect, but diluc only shakes his head and catches your fist as it goes for another blow, this one aimed at his chest, and chastises, “calm down, i left a note.”

“i left a note,” you mimic, an absolutely awful impression that has you sounding more like a mosquito than the darknight hero, “fat lot of use that is when you aren’t even telling me where you’re going!”

diluc evades another jab at his arm and firmly sets his hands on both your shoulders, effectively anchoring you to the ground. you contemplate swinging your feet at his knees and knocking him over, or maybe shocking him with your electro vision, but ultimately decide that you might as well try to preserve what little dignity you have left in front of those three people you’ve never met before

so you stop with a defeated sigh and turn to face said three people to introduce yourself

it turns out that you’re diluc’s cousin and he’s been having to baby-sit you for the last few years after your own parents left on a ‘business trip’ to snezhnaya that they’re still not back from

you’re pretty sure they’re dead, killed by the fatui, and you say as much during your introduction without even the slightest sign of distress, which is a little unsettling

lumine’s first thought is that you’re quite the interesting character, what with the casual way you treat diluc, and how you don’t seem to question whatever situation lead you to meet in the first place

aether’s first thought is holy shit, they’re cute

one twin greets you in return with a lot more enthusiasm than the other, and venti the bard wastes no time in asking whether you have access to good master diluc’s wine storage

(you’d be shocked by the audacity if you weren’t just as bad as him when it came to shamelessness)

strangely enough, the fact that aether likes you so much actually makes lumine more wary of you than she was initially

aether trusts too easily, and from experience, that usually leads to disaster - and your flippancy regarding your parents’ apparent probable deaths rather inclines her to think that you might be a very dangerous person indeed

the three of you don’t see each other for a couple of days after that - you and diluc leave for dawn winery together, while the twins depart with venti to wrap their whole situation up, and jean returns to her duties in mondstadt city

all this time, apparently unbeknownst to even himself, aether keeps finding ways to bring you up in the middle of conversation

you’d only spoken to him for a few minutes and somehow that as enough to get him absolutely fascinated

lumine would be lying if she said she wasn’t still curious about you as well, but it gets annoying after aether somehow manages to mention how ‘mysterious’ your black cloak is in the middle of a conversation about why mitachurls are able to randomly set their axes on fire

luckily for these two, they happen to run into you the very next day!

you’re in the middle of taking out a ruin guard stomping around the thousand winds temple -  a ruin guard that the twins had been meaning to take down themselves, which is why they’re here in the first place

at first they move to help you, only to stop short and watch in awe as you plunge down at the ruin guard from atop one of the enormous pillars, your polearm held steady in your grasp as your entire body seems to spark and glow with a deep purple electro energy

the sharp blade of your polearm goes clean through the top of the ruin guard’s head and shatters its core, and it sinks to the ground with a massive thud that echoes around the temple ruins, massive wooden limbs twitching and jerking as the last of your vision’s energy disperses from it

aether and lumine are basically star-struck

from there you spot them and call them over for a conversation, show them how to take apart a ruin guard’s circuits to get at the good parts, and somehow end up agreeing to journey with them across teyvat in their search for an unknown god who stole their abilities to hop from world to world as well as their apparent true power that allows them to wield all seven elements at once

the details are a little lost on you, but what you’re hearing is that you get to go on a cool adventure with a cool gal and a cool lad, so you’re pretty much all for it

diluc isn’t too happy about you up and leaving without so much as two week’s notice (partially because he has literally no friends apart from you and he’d get lonely without his little cousin bothering him all the time) but you simply tell him to deal with it and go anyway

(you do give him a big hug and promise to visit, you’re not heartless)

from then on you, aether and lumine become a dynamic trio like no other

it’s actually pretty damn spooky how well the three of you end of working together

aether and lumine had long since formed a style of fighting that meant they made up for each other’s weak spots and could attack in perfect sync, but then you come along and somehow manage to make their already pretty flawless formation even better

is it witchcraft? they honestly don’t know

considering you fit so well into their battle strategies, it follows that you’d also slot perfectly into their every day life

lumine is cautious at first, wondering if your presence would disrupt her and her brother’s long since pre-established routines, but you fit in so naturally that it’s as if you were there all long

maybe it it’s this that makes both twins slowly start falling for you - the comfort of being beside you and the familiarity that you bring are things that they struggled to find, being trapped in a world far from their own with no way to get out, and they unknowingly latch onto you like drowning men clutching lifebuoys

aether is the most obvious about his feelings - he starts waking up earlier just because he knows you do, sitting beside you as you stoke a campfire and keep watch for any approaching monsters, making quiet conversation as lumine continues sleeping. he tells you stories about his adventures in other worlds, including an encounter with a rather bigoted individual who is the reason that he keeps his hair so long while lumine’s has been cut short

he even starts taking his hair out of its braid before he goes to sleep so that he can ask you to braid it for him when he wakes up

lumine is a lot more subtle

she finds excuses to stand closer to you when, deliberately brushing her fingers against yours when handing you something. she listens far more attentively to you when you speak than anyone else, and she smiles far more in your presence, hanging onto your every word and gazing at you so intensely that it’s almost unsettling

of course, the twins notice each other’s feelings pretty easily

at first neither acknowledges it - it’d be far too messy for both to accept that they’d both fallen in love with the same person, let alone actually admit this to each other

but it gets to the point where it just isn’t ignorable anymore, and finally the twins decide to talk

it’s about as civil and sensible as they could hope for with the subject at hand, and they eventually decide to talk to you about it

and so, we come to an ultimatum. what will your choice be?

if you reject both, it’ll be hard to continue adventuring with twins who can’t look in your direction. neither resent you, of course, but the atmosphere has become so stifling that they can’t even make eye contact

it’s as if an enormous gap has opened up between the three of you. the twins are avoiding each other as well, unsure of how to handle the fact that they’re both in love with the same person and have now both been rejected by that same person. if anything, they should be becoming closer out of solidarity, but it seems that they can’t stand to be in each other’s presence as much as they can’t stand to be in yours.

the three of you still work together as seamlessly in battle as you did before, but once the final monster has been cut down and your weapons are sheathed, that connection seems to disappear again.

it’s aether who finally breaks the stalemate. he starts trying to start conversations as the three of you sit awkwardly apart from each other around a fire, and while the first few attempts end in stony silence and an awkward cough on his part, eventually you begin replying with some semblance of the humour you used to

from there things only improve - the three of you come to a silent mutual agreement to leave this behind you, and soon you’re all laughing and joking as you used to

lumine and aether both know that they cannot force you to love either of them, and they respect your choice. if anything, they’re the ones in the wrong for springing something like this on you so suddenly, and they start to feel a little guilty that they were essentially pressuring you into making a choice that you were never obligated to make

so they return to treating you as a dear friend, just as before. things are different now, of course, but they can only be grateful that you continue to travel with them and stay by their side; this situation doesn’t make them love you any less, even if you don’t love them in the same way.

if you choose lumine, aether will be understanding. the twins have been each other’s only support for longer than they can remember, and as the older brother, he’s well used to giving things up for his sister.

he’ll still be friendly and amicable, but he won’t seek you out as much as he did before. he starts braiding his hair by himself again, and stays in bed as late as he can every morning so that he doesn’t have to be face to face with you. just because he’s accepted this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.

sometimes, when the sky grows dark and you and lumine have long since fallen asleep beside each other, he wonders to himself - why is it that he has to give everything to his sister? he’s given away so much, so why couldn’t the universe let him have this one thing?

but he knows, deep down, that this is nothing to do with the universe - you simply fell in love with someone that wasn’t him, his sister at that, and he’s struggling to come to terms with it.

he wants to hate you, hate lumine, hate the relationship that the two of you have formed, but he just can’t. he loves the both of you in different ways that are just as important as each other, and he can’t stand to lose either of you. he’d rather throw himself off of starsnatch cliff.

so he’ll smile and bear it, even if it’s a battle to keep himself from breaking down every time he sees the two of you lace your hands together, off in your own little word, so near and yet so far from him.

if you choose aether, lumine will become cold. at first, that is. she’s never been as empathetic as her brother, always holding grudges and developing dislike much more easily. it had taken a lot for her to open up to you in the first place, and now that you’ve rejected her, it’s going to take a while for her to return to the same camaderie with you that she had before.

lumine does not begrudge aether for being the one you chose. if anything, she’s glad - aether is always putting her first and himself second, and she’s happy that he has someone like you, who lights his eyes up in a way that she’s never seen before.

but our hearts often betray our mind, after all, and lumine can’t help but scowl and turn away every time she sees her brother wrap his arms around your waist or press a kiss to your cheek. despite her best efforts, all she can think is why? why did you have to choose him?

she can’t bring herself to hate you, though. as much as it feels like her heart is threatening to split down the middle when she sees you smile and is reminded of something that she cannot have, there is an equal joy in the fact that her brother can be with the person that he loves so dearly. if anything, the two of you deserve to be happy together.

lumine would never do anything that could take that away, and so she forces herself to accept it. it takes several days of tentative conversation and barely held back tears, but eventually the two of you seem to return to the way you were before - all friendly jabs and light-hearted banter and little jokes exchanged over crossed blades.

but lumine knows that your friendship can never be quite the same as it was before. she’ll forever be holding you at arm’s length, terrified to let you get too close lest you see how much your presence affects her. she can’t let you know how much she loves you because she will never be the one who links hands with you as you walk down a long, winding path, or the one who holds you close under a darkening sky filled with stars - because that person is aether, and she would sooner die before she takes her brother’s happiness away.

if you refuse to choose, the twins will be at a loss at what to do. they hadn’t considered this scenario - that you had somehow come to love both of them.

the confusion becomes joy soon enough, though. they realise what this means - they both love you, and you love both of them! isn’t this perfect?

neither are particularly thrilled at the concept of ‘sharing’ you with the other, so to speak, but in the end they both equally want each other to be happy as they want you to be, so the logical conclusion is that they both become your partners.

they’re not too sure how this should work, nor what sort of label to put on it, but they come to you tentatively with the idea anyway

to their joyous surprise, you agree!

and from then marks the point of no return…

aether is definitely the clingier of the two. once he realises that he’s allowed to show affection and be close to you for no particular reason, he won’t stop - it’s as if he absolutely has to be holding your hand or be standing or sitting  as close to you as physically possible. he’s always buying you souvenirs at every place you stop by, scaling trees to pick apples for you when you mention a craving for fruit, presenting you little treasures that he’s found with all the pride of a golden retriever.

lumine is a more subdued kind of partner, preferring to demonstrate her feelings with little things like making your favourite food for dinner or bringing you sprigs of flowers that she’s secretly been collecting in order to present you with them. of course, that doesn’t mean she isn’t physically affectionate at all - she presses perhaps even closer to you than aether when you sleep beside her, and somehow her hand finds yours at every opportunity she has.

the twins clash every now and then, as siblings often do, except that you’re usually caught in the middle. their arguments are little more than playful squabbles, though - things like play-fighting over who gets to hug you first after a well-fought battle, or who gets to hold your hand on the way to the next village (you have to step in and remind them that you do, in fact, have two hands)

in conclusion: why choose one when you can have both and prevent the unchosen from having endless amounts of angst?

A Cursed Reality-JJK x M!Reader (Ch.2)

Question: Do you guys prefer longer chapters or shorter chapters? I’ve been making an effort to write longer chapters but if you hate reading them I’ll write them less.

Warnings: fluff, comparison of Inumaki’s speech to a disability/handicap, cursing. Dislike of Maki (Not me. wrong bitch. I love her)

Previous || Next

Chapter Two:

[Name] actively dislikes hanging out with the second years. Not that they’re bad people in any way, it’s just he’s anxious and awkward, and even after spending a year familiarizing himself with the school and the people in it, there’s like a small group of people he would invite to his birthday party.

That and he just doesn’t care for Maki Zen’in. And it is most definitely mutual. To him, she’s just pretty. She also won’t die in a battle between her and a curse below first grade. But that’s about the end of her appeal. Of course, Panda is fun to tease but he typically plays the peacemaker between the second years. [Name] would rather not care about people in peace.

There’s no dramatic reason to it all, it’s just [Name] didn’t really come to Jujutsu Tech by choice so he hadn’t intended on making friends. He obviously failed considering he befriended Inumaki within his first day and they have some homoromantic vibes going on in their friendship.

That’s not to say you can’t platonic cuddle with your best friend but when you longingly gaze into each other’s eyes and he’s the only friend you’ve made besides an annoyingly hyper 30-year-old because no one else understands you like he does… And it kind of goes both ways considering you’re the only person he trusts himself enough to have a full-on conversation with.

Yeah, it’s not looking very good for the argument that they’re not gay. They’re not though. At least not now.  

“[Name]”

“Yeah toge?”

“You look like you’ve got something on your mind” Inumaki responded. And although he had plenty of experience saying words, having a conversation without using safe words felt a little weird. It was an aspect of who he was now and [Name] being immune to the cursed speech wouldn’t erase the problems he had with talking and it didn’t make [Name] his savior or soulmate.

Luckily [Name] was both lonely and not a complete asshole because he had no problems adapting to the switch between Toge’s ‘onigiri glossary’. Learning it was actually a really fun experience because it turns out Inumaki did not have the exact translation of all his safe words. He would just say an ingredient and [Name] had to fill in the blanks. There was a lot of trial and error and a lot of [Name] smiling down at Inumaki’s concentrated face.

“I was just thinking.” [Name] broke the contemplative silence.

“Hmm”

“You know” [Name] started again “... They say it was believed people kept their souls in their throats” and as Inumaki gave a confused denial (“fish flakes”) [Name] was internally panicking on whether or not he should keep going with this specific train of thought or make a joke to deflect from the very real and emotional but corny statement he was about to utter.

“Ah fuck it. I want to exercise the curses in the world or at least enough to keep you safe so you don’t keep damaging your soul when you use your cursed technique”

“Sujiko”

[Name] looked at Inumaki. And as if breaking off pieces of his soul didn’t matter to him, Inumaki spoke, a short sentence that stunned [Name] into silence

“I love you”

If Gojo hadn’t come in, they might’ve kissed.

“[Name]-kun!!!”

Aaaand [Name]’s sentimental mood was gone. Don’t get him wrong, Gojo definitely would get an invite to [Name]’s birthday party, but the man was like 30 running around being overly cheerful and with that teasing nature he was definitely repressing some trauma. He also definitely had some of the worst timing

“What is it Gojo?”

“No sensei at the end? So mean!

“Fushiguro was sent out to find a cursed object but he’s been out all day with no calls back home or anything. Of course I plan on going to check on my beloved student, but I am busy for the next hour or so. Can you please check on him? For your favorite sensei?”

“My favorite sensei is actually Nanami and he’s not even a sensei but yeah I’ll check on the emo kid”

‘You’re pretty emo yourself dude’ Gojo thought to himself

“Ah Thank you [Name]-kun. You’re a lifesaver” Gojo called out behind him as he left to do whatever it is crazy white haired ‘old’ men do.

‘He’s/I’m totally not doing this for free’ both [Name] and Inumaki thought at the same time.

[Name] got up suddenly and started getting ready to leave paying no attention to Inumaki who watched him get ready with a casual interest. Before [Name] headed out, he turned to look at Inumaki with a serious and concentrated expression.

“Toge.”

“I love you”

“What the hell happened here?”

“....”

“Fushiguro-kun, if you please”

“Well I only know half of the story so it’s best if we hear it from Itadori”

All eyes whipped to the shirtless Yuji who had just gotten control of his body back from Sukuna, the apparent king of curses.

“I’d say it started when I went to school this morning but I think it started a little earlier for Fushiguro. Right Fushiguro?” Yuji asked

‘I swear I’m going to explode if someone doesn’t tell me the how we got this far I mean Fushiguro is bleeding from his head, this pink haired enthusiastic kid is possessed and I can’t tell if he’s too sweet to care or if he lost a few of his brain cells when he and the little emo first year wrecked this building’ [Name] thought to himself.

Clearing his throat he began “Well okay Fushiguro has a lot of really bad injuries so is it okay with you if he just quickly shares his part and then you take over?”

“Ohh Yeah that makes sense” Itadori awed and both he and [Name] turned their attention to poor Megumi who was bleeding from his forehead.

“Yesterday I was sent to retrieve a special grade cursed object and when I got there it was gone. Gojo sensei told me I couldn’t go home until it was recovered. The next day I stalked around the school and investigated when I saw Yuji for the first time.”

“Oh I remember that. It’s my turn to take over now. Uhh. I was in the occult club with my senpais Sasaki and Iguchi and we were asking the spirits about which animal the Student Council President was weaker than ( a fish) and then he burst in the room because he didn’t approve of our club-”

“Fast forward please” [Name] interrupted

“Fushiguro found me after my grandpa died and told me Iguchi and Sasaki were in danger because of the finger so I led him to the school where they said they were going to peel off the seal”

“And that’s why we’re here” [Name] surmised

“So what’s the situation”

“Gojo-sensei”/ “Old Man what are you doing here?” Megumi and [Name] called out

“I wasn’t gonna come but the higher ups got involved. I knew you’d all be fine though, I sent [Name] here to deal with it.”

“That’s true” Fushiguo mumbled

“I’m glad you all have faith in me” [Name] started “But that means I came here for absolutely nothing”

“... So did you find it?” Gojo asked

“Um sorry.... I ate it”

Gojo who didn’t hear the whole introduction and [Name] who didn’t quite get to the eating of the finger part in the story turned to Yuji in shock

“For real”

“For real”

“Haha you’re not kidding. They’re combined. How does your body feel?” Gojo asked Yuji

“Okay”

“Can you switch to Sukuna?”

“Sukuna?” Yuji asked

“The curse object you ate”

“Oh yeah. Probably”

“Ten seconds” gojo said “Take control again after ten seconds”

“I dunno about this”

“Don’t worry. I’m the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer”

Megumi looked to [Name] after hearing a curious “hmm” but [Name]’s face showed no anger or displeasure.

“Megumi hold onto this will ya” Gojo’s voice bled through Megumi’s thoughts of who would win between [Name] and Gojo. Give it a year or two and it might actually be [Name].

“What’s this?” Megumi asked

‘It better be a fucking weapon’ [Name] thought ‘Because if he sent me out because his important business was shopping he’s gonna regret it’

“Kikufuku Mochi” Gojo replied casually before feeling bloodlust leaking from [Name]. He’ll just have to make it up to the second year somehow

“Behind you” Fushiguro called out and [Name] sucked his teeth hoping Gojo would get hit at least once. He did not get his wish once

“I’ve got a student watching so..I hope you don’t mind if I show off a little bit” . And after that Gojo commenced kicking Sukuna’s ass. Sukuna tried to monologue a little as he sent out a powerful attack, but he missed Gojo on account of Gojo’s infinity dispelling the attack. By the time Sukuna realized Gojo was unharmed it was time for Yuji to switch back.

“Oh was everything okay?” Yuji asked as he came to his senses.

“Oh what a surprise” Gojo responded “You really can control it”

“Yeah, but he’s kind of annoying”

“It’s a miracle that’s the only side effect” Gojo said right before knocking Yuji out with one finger

“If he wakes up and isn't possessed, he might have potential as a vessel. Okay question for you two. What do I do with him?”

“Even if he is a potential vessel… He must be executed under jujutsu regulations…

“But I don’t want to let him die”

“Is that a personal opinion? Gojo asked

“Yes, a personal opinion. Please do something about it.

Gojo smiled and the two of them turned their attention towards [Name] who had been silent throughout the whole experience.

‘Besides being a little too excitable, he’s not bad. Like a puppy. I’d keep him as a pet.’ [Name] thought

“Don’t kill him” he said

“A precious student's request. And one from my favorite second year? Of course. Leave it to me!” Gojo said before lifting Yuji up.

[Name] still a little upset he was called away for nothing, raised his hand in front of his mouth so gojo couldn’t see what he was doing and whispered

“Fall over”

“Aak! [Name]-kunnn”

Fushiguro was shocked to see Gojo faceplant on the ground with Yuji on his shoulder. If the combination of Fushiguro’s wide eyed expression and the sight of Gojo in pain made [Name] giggle a little, he’d never admit it.

graduation gift [o. tooru]

summary: on your last day as oikawa and [name] aka that one couple from class 3-B, you both realize something.

word count:

a/n: bark bark horimiya has completely destroyed me i am in love with both izumi and kyoko someone help 💕 i’m now projecting their relationship everywhere thank you 🙇‍♀️ catch me writing for them too >:( anyway! take this as a thank you for sticking around my shitty schedule (TT)

“And with that, let’s say goodbye to our third years!” The voice cheered into the crowd, and just like that – you were done; you had graduated.

If you’d been at the ceremony with the rest of your classmates, you probably would be tearing up by now as you hugged your close friends and bid farewell to those not so, but you weren’t hugging your friends or bidding farewells because you weren’t at the ceremony. You weren’t in the chair that had your last name labeling it as your own, you weren’t even near the gym. Instead, you were running with your high school diploma on one hand and Oikawa’s hand on the other, – where off to? Neither of you knew.

The sun was bright, painting your surroundings in saturated colors, the smell of spring and new beginnings on the tip of your tongue. You could feel the wind dancing over you two as you made your way down the empty streets, most people were in the ceremony or attending their kins own, and into wherever your feet led you.

“So, Tooru, any idea where we’re going?” You ask, throwing him a curious look from in front of him.

“Nope.” The brunet laughs at the confused double look you send his way, “What? You’re the one who dragged me out.”

“And you haven’t stopped to ask me why or where we’re going, have you?” You roll your eyes but never once do either of your steps falter, you’re both going forward – not sure where, “Is there seriously nowhere you wanna go?”

“I don’t think so?”

“You don’t think so?” You laugh, “We’ll be running forever if you don’t tell me to stop.”

“But we’ll be together, right?” He asks, his grip on your hand suddenly feels a little tighter.

“Yeah.”

“Then I wouldn’t mind.” He concludes, causing heat to rush to your ears and cheeks like a flood.

“Haha, very funny, Tooru.” You look forward once

more in an attempt to hide the way your cheeks felt like they were about to burst.

“I’m serious, [Name],” he whines but you can hear the playfulness in his tone, “I wouldn’t mind doing anything if I got to be with you.”

“...” Your heart is beating too fast for the casual tone in which he spoke, but how could it not? The guy you liked, the one you’d been dating for a little over a year and thought about getting married to more than once, just insinuated he’d like to spend the rest of his life with you, what were you meant to do? “Geez, you’re so cheesy, Oikawa.”

“Ah? Very rich coming from the person who stole me away from the graduation ceremony to spend one last day with me!”

“Don’t act like you didn’t like it.” You huff, you try to sound annoyed but Tooru can still hear the smile in your voice, “Ah, ‘m getting hungry… ‘Kawa, wanna go eat something?”

You start slowing down into a steady until you’re both standing under the shade of a tree and he follows, he takes in your surroundings as you continue talking – you weren’t running but you were still moving, just slower.

“Like what?” He asks.

“Something sweet!” You decide, catching your breath – you hadn’t willingly ran so much in a long time.

“Something sweet, huh?” He repeats, tapping away some unknown melody into your knuckles.

Neither of you say anything, Oikawa was busy thinking of a place to take you out and you were suddenly overtaken by the memories and realization of what exactly was happening today.

From this day onwards, you weren’t a high schooler anymore. So many things had happened from your first year to today, it felt like you’d lived a lifetime and a half. It was weird, so weird to think that this was the end. But you’re weren’t alone –, you think as you look down to the hand still gripping yours. You felt a pain in your chest, you’d have thousands of memories from your time at Seijoh and your classmates but you’d never get to relive these days again, you’d need to make every memory count so that when you’re older you can relax knowing you lived your youth well beside the boy you’d grown to love, right?

And before you know it, you’re walking once again – pulling a surprised Oikawa behind you. This was your last day together as high schoolers, your last day as Oikawa and [Name], the couple from class 3-B, and you wanted to savor it – so you could look back on it with him and laugh.

“Thank you, for being with me,” you smile, as you continue walking, your boyfriend could feel you growing tired from having run around, even he was getting worn down – but not once did he think of stopping you, you turn around and face him properly, still holding his hand, “and for loving me, Oikawa.”

“I wouldn’t have done it any other way,” he laughs, “If I could go back in time, I think I’d do it all again.”

To Oikawa, you were amazing, a force to be reckoned with. He couldn’t help but watch in awe the way you carried yourself, the way you walked and talked – the way you lived life enamoured him and had him wrapped between your fingers in ways you didn’t know.

If only he could gift you the way you made him feel, warm as if the sun was in his hands, loved and comforted in ways he’d only wished possible back when he was younger and lonelier. You had shown him the sun, you had taught him to find joy in the summer breeze and fun in the spring rains. Whenever he felt his thoughts drift into the unknown, you were there to hold his hand and lead them back down, back home – back into your arms. All the things he’d envied those around him for knowing, all the memories and emotions he’d long since decided he wasn’t getting, he now had a map for — he had you.

But as he looks at the hand intertwined with his he knows you’d probably prefer cake, the type they sold in the bakery at the corner of the road before his house. And he was happy to give you that too.

Happy Birthday, Lucifer~!

(( This is a little one shot to celebrate Lucifer’s birthday, that is based on today’s event, but with some...More personalising to it!

Also, Lucifer’s smile, like Satan’s, looks like a kittens, and it kills my heart <3 ))

Diavolo gathered us in the big hall, the same place as when I was brought to the Devildom to this exchange student program, which is when the Devil Prince, holding the same type of mischievous glint in his eyes as usual, grinned widely at us, telling us that the reason for gathering here was Lucifer’s birthday the next day, and his wish to throw him a party.

Unfortunately, it seemed like some of his brothers completely forgot about his birthday...

But it was much worse that Lucifer was so busy that he may or may not forget his own birthday.

“Hey, Diavolo, why don’t we throw him a surprise party? Nothing necessarily big, just...Something with us, the people closest to him. I think he would appreciate it.” I suggest, making the man gleam with happiness. “I like that. It’ll make his heart jump out of his chest.” Diavolo grinned at me. “That settles it. We will throw Lucifer a surprise birthday party.” Barbatos chimed in simply.

Hearing about the surprise party, everyone was on board, wanting to have fun, so we decided to make it happen in the House of Lamentation and divide all our tasks.

Beel and Asmo were in charge of decorations, Barbatos, Satan and Belphie were I charge of the food, Diavolo would oversee everyone’s preparations, I was supposed to distract Lucifer for the whole day, as Asmo was to help me with a plan, and uhm...

Mammon and Levi were...Uhm...

Reporting back to the party back at home...Or something?

I don’t know, but I guess stalking would be the right job for two lazy guys.

And so, I go around the place looking for the man in cause, and I finally manage to find him at his own room, hunched over the desk, looking absolutely exhausted.

“Lucifer...Are you alright...?” I sighed, putting my arms around his neck from behind. “Nothing new, just a tremendous amount of work during this time of the year.” he replied, almost robotically. “I see...Well...Would you want to go out with me tomorrow? Maybe it will help you relax a bit. I’m exhausted only looking at you, to be fair.” I suggest in a softer tone. “Tomorrow...? I’ve finished up my work for the student council, so I can afford to take a break, but...Why so sudden?...Don’t tell me...You’re up to something again.” he turned to look at me with a suspicious frown. “No...Nothing of the sort. Looking at you like that makes me believe that a change of pace would help you relax a bit. You’re overworking yourself without realising...Even Diavolo is concerned. And besides, what’s the harm in going out, right?” I smiled at him, taking his hand in mine, squeezing it gently. “It seems you knew that I’ve been quite busy lately. Well? Do you have a specific destination in mind? Wait, no, don’t tell me, I shall know when we go. It is best to save the excitement for later.” Lucifer chuckled lightly. “I hope you’ll enjoy what I have in mind. I-I mean, it’s nothing too big, just something nice and casual, with the purpose of charging up your batteries.” I grin at him, and he offers me a smile...A smile that looks like that of a kitten’s. “Heh. You seem rather confident in your choices. Thank you for thinking about my well being. Now then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” he nodded at me. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Lucifer...Please take care of yourself.” I waved at him, leaving for my room.

On my way to the room, I met up with the stalker duo...And it was, uh...As interesting as always.

“Y/N, you alright?!” Mammon cried out loudly. “Well, duh. Lucifer would never hurt Y/N.” Levi spoke as a matter of fact. “Yes, exactly. Except for the 2 or 3 times when he almost killed me.” I chuckled lightly, shuddering internally at the experiences. “But maybe he already found out about what’s goin’ on! Y/N might’ve blurted out somethin’ about the surprise tomorrow.” Mammon tried to play off his concerns. “Y/N isn’t an airhead like you, Mammon. So, how did it go, Y/N? Mission accomplished?” Levi quickly dismissed his brother. “Well, of course I succeeded. And he was pretty happy about it.” I smiled softly, hoping I wasn’t blushing. “THAT Lucifer?! He didn’t even doubt ya, but was happy?! He’ll only act like that when it comes to you, Y/N...” they continued to talk, but I went to my room to sleep and think over everything that was supposed to happen tomorrow.

The next day I take a quick bath, and curl my long hair in some nice, graceful curls, nothing too fancy, but not too casual either, and with some nice day-make up, and a nice outfit, I go to knock on Lucifer’s room, knocking, and asking if he’s ready.

“Are you ready, Lucifer?” I asked, smiling sweetly at him. “I am, although, I believe this dynamic we are having should be the other way around.” he hummed, as we walked out of the place. “How about you take me on a date next time you feel burnt out from overworking yourself, which won’t be too long, if you ask me. Maybe it would help you relax a bit?” I walk closer to him, as the lights from the busy street shops were illuminating cheerfully. “I can’t say I disagree...Oh, I see. A movie theater. What movie are we going to see?” he asked, smirking as he realised we were approaching said place. “There’s this movie that had a pretty neat name...The Fiery Depths of Hell. I think it’s a horror movie? But I’m not sure what HORROR would be for demons.” I laughed at my words, and it seemed to amuse him as well. “Hopefully scarier than what you humans create. I see it has a pretty fine cast. It has been a long time since I last saw a movie. Two tickets, please.”  he walked ahead of me to the ticket booth, making my eyes go wide with surprise. “W-Wait, hold up....!” I hurried to his side, as he only put his arm around me, guiding me inside with a knowing smirk. “What is it? I already paid for the tickets, let’s go. Is it your first time in this place?” he asked, as we got in front of the snacks booth. “Yep. Asmo and Satan told me they go pretty often here and that this place is really pretty, so I thought it’d be a nice to bring you here...Although I’m pretty sure this experience won’t be as...Special, since it’s not the first time you’re here.” I scratched the back of my neck sheepishly, looking away with a small smile. “Nonsense. The person with whom I am with is what makes this special. Are you ready here? Let’s find our seats.” he spoke, making my cheeks get a tint pinker. “Haha...I never realised how much of a smooth charmer you can be.”  I cover my mouth for a few seconds in embarrassment, as he only hummed in amusement, sitting in his seat, and we waited for the movie to start. “There’s nothing better than watching a movie with flame-scorched popcorn and sparkling fresh bloody soda.” he leaned back in his seat, a look of relaxation washing over his face. “Flame-scorched...Let me guess, is that spicy popcorn? I’ve never heard of that in my world. And bloody soda...Is that like wine?” I asked, turning to him, leaning on the arm rest. “Why don’t you have a taste?” he smirked mischievously, putting his hand on my cheek, making me open my mouth, as he put a bit of popcorn on my tongue. “What do you think?” he chuckled lowly, seeing my red cheeks. “It’s not bad...I was expecting it to be much hotte...OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS HORRIBLE, I NEED SOME WATER ASAP!” in the next second, I could feel myself being set on fire, that’s how horribly spicy the popcorn was. “That was entertaining.” he laughed mirthfully, handing me a bottle of fresh, ice-cold water. “You’re enjoying it, aren’t you?” I spoke weakly, a pout on my face after finishing the water bottle in one go. “You got this water knowing this would happen, didn’t you?” “I was merely curious to see how bad it affected a human, and needless to say, I am rather pleased with the results. Your assumption is correct as well...I can’t say that I’m not enticed by the cute face you are making right now, especially with the tears glistering in your eyes.” he teased, taking the handkerchief from his pocket and wiping them away, as he caressed my face gently. “I hope you’re bloody extasic, you truly gave me a HELLISH experience.” I chuckled, amused by this as well. “That was a pretty witty prank, I have to admit. I’d have died of laughter, if anyone else was the victim.” “I shall take that as a compliment. If you’ve managed to calm down, let’s see what you’re having. Hell Black Honey Popcorn. Looks rather sweet, let me have a taste.” he extended his hand towards my popcorn bag, only to have me slap it away, giggling playfully. “Let me return the favour. At least I’m sure there’s no harm going your way.” I said, feeding him, which made him blush slightly as well from the intimacy. “Hmm...It’s so sweet that I’m getting a sugar overload. Even so, it’s quite addicting. You made a sound choice, it suits you.” he chuckled, a smirk on his face, as the light went out and the movie began.

During the movie, there were a few commotions, and I could only guess it was the idiotic duo...But this mess continued even when we left the theater and we were walking slowly, almost aimlessly. I could only flinch slightly from time to time and peer behind my shoulder, hoping that Lucifer wouldn’t catch on.

But I was wrong, he’s the most perceptive demon I know, next to Diavolo, Goddamn those two idiots.

“Why do you continue to peer over the shoulder?” he asked in confusion. “Oh, s-sorry, I hope it didn’t annoy you. I, uh...Kinda got the chills. No big deal, really.” I played it off quickly. “Do you have a cold? You should take better care of yourself.” he spoke with a slight frown on his face. “...Should you really be the one to tell me that?” I chuckled, looking up at him with a coy smile. “Touche, Y/N. Regardless, it’s been a long time since I last saw a movie. Did you enjoy it?” he asked with a bright smile on his face, as he took off the coat from his shoulders and put it over mine. “L-Lucifer, you don’t have to-” I protested, only for him to put his arm around me, putting me to his side, to silence me, under the pretext that the streets are overcrowded and he doesn’t want us to get separated. “W-Well, it was a really nice movie. Usually, I watch horror movies to get some laughs, but this actually had a pretty interesting plot.” I offered him my insight, as he only nodded. “Indeed. The background info you offered me was useful. You’ll have to tell me more about it.” he spoke, obviously trying to make conversation. “Sure, I’d love that. The symbolism from this movie was really something else, and -” I began to explain some of the film ideas, only to get interrupted by a pitched voice. “Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you two doing here?! A-And you’re...You’re so close! L-Like you’re c-c-cuddling!” Luke’s shocked voice echoed through the street. “We’re on a date. Is there a problem?” Lucifer’s voice was low, velvety, showing off the smugness. “Huh?! A d-date?!” the kid gaped at us, his pale face getting pinker than roses. “I-I guess that’s how it is.” I hummed, feeling my heart beat a bit faster hearing him say that. “Is that really how it is?!” Luke stared, still unbelieving. “Enough with the questions, Chihuahua.” Lucifer sighed, bored and irked at the interruption. “How many times do I have to tell you?! I’m NOT a Chihuahua!” he yelled at the demon who towered over him. “Sure. You only act like one.” I shared a playful look to Lucifer, giggling in amusement. “Oh, I thought I heard a commotion over here. Hey, Lucifer, Y/N!” Simeon’s graceful smile came in the picture. “Oh good, the Chihuahua’s owner is here.” Lucifer’s taunting words rung again, making me try to stifle my laughter. “I told you I’m not a Chihuahua!” Luke shrieked even louder. “What a coincidence, meeting you two here! Oh, that’s right, today is Lucifer’s-” Simeon began, which made me widen my eyes and try to talk over him. “Day off. Yes, today is Lucifer’s day off. I told Simeon that I’m taking you out for today, and if he needed to talk to you, to just call me or come by the next day.” I tried to explain, so the angels would get what I’m trying to do. “How thoughtful of you, Y/N, but you needn’t worry yourself over me that much.” he shook his head in disdain. “Luke, I just remembered we have something very urgent to attend to, so we must be on our way. It was nice seeing you, Lucifer, Y/N!” Simeon tried to walk away, only to have Luke look at him with confusion. “We had something urgent to do today?” he asked, tilting his head to the side, truly like a puppy. “Yes, Luke, we have something very, VERY urgent to do, remember?” the man urged on, a bit stronger. “O-Oh, yeah! Uhh, we’re very busy! See you later, Y/N, Lucifer!” Luke started running away. “Uhm...Do they always behave so...Uhmm...Weird?” I asked, biting my lip, fearing for the plan’s success. “What on earth is wrong with those two?” he shook his head in disbelief, then looked at me with a raised eyebrow. “You’ve been checking the time rather frequently. Something is going on, isn’t there? You have been acting strange since yesterday. When do you plan on telling me the reason?” he started his suspicious interrogation, and I started worrying. “What do you mean, Lucifer? You know I always have my phone in my hand, don’t you? It’s a pretty bad habit of mine, but that’s just how it is. And besides, is wanting to spend time alone with you that strange?” I looked at him with mock hurt. “Do you still insist on playing games? You’ve got a lot of nerve. I never knew you were so stubborn...I didn’t want to ruin today’s plans, so I pretended not to notice until now...Come out, you two!” Lucifer, after glaring at me, used his magic to pull the 1-Braincell Duo to us, and they were sent flying and screaming  our way. “Ouch! What was that for, Lucifer?! Using your magic to drag us out is unfair, doncha think?” Mammon complained, only to have his elder brother yell at him, and him to squeak in fear like a little mouse. “Th-This ain’t what it looks like! Calm down, Lucifer!” he tried to reason. “Lucifer’s rage has taken shape! What will become of Mammon?” Levi blushed as he was...Vlogging...? “Dammit, Levi! Enough with the commentary!” Mammon started fighting with him. “I can’t deprive my subscribes from such a juicy scene.” Levi chuckled carelessly. “You want to interrupt us that badly, huh? Mammon, Levi.” Lucifer glared at them as if staring into their souls. “Eeek! O-Of course not! This is all for your birthday...ARGHH!” Mammon gasped as Levi’s tailed came flying and slammed him on the pavement. “You stupid big mouth!” he glared at the white haired man, as I could only stare in disbelief. “So that’s what you were planning, isn’t it? Some kind of birthday prank? You knew I was prone to forgetting about it, because of my overworked schedule, and you took advantage of it. All three of you.” Lucifer started growling in anger. “God DAMN it, you, stupid MAMMON! This is why EVERYONE tell you you’re a complete MORON! I’m DONE with taking your side, you’re just a big, obsolete, incurable, hopeless, scummy fucking I D I O T ! Once! Just freaking ONCE! Did I EVER ask you to just keep your STUPID mouth SHUT, and what do you do? Get yourself in THESE kinds of situations and you manage to spill EVERYTHING!” I screamed at the idiot who was in pain on the ground, which made the eldest brother widen his eyes in realisation. “Great job, Mammon, you made the calmest person alive angry. That’s something only you would be capable of doing.” Levi glared, sighing in equal anger. “...Why is Y/N scarier than Lucifer when angry?” Mammon squealed in fear. “So this wasn’t supposed to be some kind of elaborate prank on me?” Lucifer asked in a softer voice. “No, goddamn it! I was trying to make you a birthday surprise, but it’s all ruined, thanks to this dumbass. Gahh, whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever, what’s done is done, I’m leaving. Good luck with the rest of the plan. Bye.” I gave Lucifer back his coat, rushing away from that place, trying to calm down and find a nice place to be alone.

Eventually, I found a nice, very big fountain, and surprisingly, the water falling down was the more calming thing in the world and exactly what I needed.  Not to mention the beautiful lights and colours of the water, the statues, the garden and everything around.

All that was missing was some music and a person to stay with.

Sighing, I climb up on top of the block around the fountain, laying down and staring up at the starry sky.

I put the ringing D.D.D. on silent, then took out my own phone and put on my earphones, listening to some blues music, and stared at the twinkling stars.

I didn’t realise for how long was I there, until someone took off one of the earbuds, making me squeak in fright and jump in a sitting position, my phone flying down, from my torso.

“My, my, who knew you’d get scared so easily.” he hummed in amusement, but then his face went more serious, seeing me sighing. “Levi told me everything.” “Why are you here...? You should be home, the others are waiting for you. They worked very hard for the party to be done, and Asmo especially was the most excited about it. Not to mention, Diavolo will be there...Can’t make him wait, can we.” I shifted my gaze towards the falling water once again. “Can’t have a party without you. I told you today, it’s about the company, not the place or occasion.” he leaned on the block that I was sitting on. “I just...Wanted you to be happy, at least on your birthday. You always stress yourself so much for every little detail, and you carry everyone’s burden’s...I thought you could use a distraction from your daily routine.” I hugged my legs to my chest, resting my chin on my knees. “And I am thankful for that. I am aware that everything we’ve done today was genuine. I appreciate all the effort you went through to make this day great for me.” he reassured me gently. “You’re just being nice...Honestly, I just...I can’t believe I got so angry...I didn’t mean to be so harsh on Mammon, but...But I can’t stand when people ruin my plans, especially those that I am incredibly invested in.” I raked my fingers through my hair, making him chuckle. “I tend to say that rather often.” he smiled in amusement. “How come you went here?” “...I had no place in mind. My feet took me here...I’m surprised, but happy. This place is very...Relaxing.” I lay back down on the block, looking at the stars, then rolling to face Lucifer. “Do you ever...Allow yourself some time for yourself? Just to watch the sky and admire the stars and moon? To listen to the sound of the running water...And just...Vibe?” I asked him, extending my hands towards him. “I suppose I don’t. Perhaps I should start taking your advice.” with a playful smile, he hopped on the block and laid down next to me, holding my hand while at it, as a comfortable silence took over us. “...How are you feeling?” I asked, barely above a whisper. “I can understand why you would recommend doing this. It is truly relaxing.” turning my head to the side slightly, I could see a soft smile on his face, which made my heart pound faster. “You know...Some time ago, I and my best friend would go to the fountain in our University dorms’ campus. It was kinda like this, but without the fancy lights and colours. But...There were some speakers that would play romantic songs. During summer, when we were in our exam session, we would go out past midnight, when nobody would bother or see us...And...We’d take our shoes off and start fooling around in the water. It was ice cold, but outside was hot, and it was refreshing. We would dance together, jump around, splash water on each other...Sometimes I really miss that.” I grinned in amusement at the nostalgic memory. “Would you want to recreate that?” he asked, making me get in a sitting position and look at him with shock, before taking out my phone and putting a playlist of the most romantic human songs. “What are we waiting for, then?” with a huge smile on my face, I quickly take off my shoes, put the socks in them, and jump in the fountain, squealing a bit at how cold it was. “Careful, it’s very cold.” “I see you are enjoying yourself. Don’t mind if I join in.” he chuckled in amusement, taking off his shoes as well, ready to hop off the block, only to have me stop him. “Silly, lift your trousers. It would get pretty uncomfortable to have the bottom part of your legs wet, huh?” I chuckle, rolling the hems of the legs of the pants enough so they won’t get wet, then grabbed his wrist, dragging him into the fountain pond. “How do you feel doing something improper?” I laughed with glee, as he shivered at the cold water. “It’s...Definitely not something I am used to.” he chuckled softly, as he pulled me to his chest.

There were no more words being spoken, and there was nobody else to watch or judge us, except for the Silver Moon lending us her light as we swayed and danced around in the cold water, as if nether of us ever had any problem or worry in the world.

It seemed like the whole world disappeared, only the two of us, pressed together, as our emotions were overflowing, and the next thing I know, we both leaned in to share a soft kiss, filled with so much love and tenderness, almost afraid as if this was a mere fairy tale and this scene was going to disappear, like a dream.

“Are you happy, Lucifer?” I asked in a voice barely above a whisper, resting my chin on his chest, looking up at him with a starstruck expression on my face. “Yes, I am. Thanks to you, Y/N. I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me.” Lucifer’s face was relaxed, calm, soft, like nobody has ever seen him before. “...Did I ever tell you that you’re the most gorgeous being in the world?” my smile grew wider as he widened his eyes and his cheeks started reddening in embarrassment. “You’re a human, that’s not many beings you’ve seen in your short lifespan.” he teased, evading the subject, which only made me chuckle. “Shut up and take a compliment, silly.” I slapped his shoulder, looking away to laugh.

Our lovely moment was interrupted by his D.D.D. ringing, and it was a cue that we should return home for his party, despite the surprise being ruined.

We sat on the fountain’s pond rim to get out shoes back on, but Lucifer decided to be Prince Charming and kneeled in front of me, putting on my shoes as if I was Cinderella, which only made me look down, bashful, earning a low chuckle from him.

As soon as we got in front of the House of Lamentation, Lucifer opened the door, and as soon as he stepped in, confetti and party trumpets were all over the place, which in all actuality seemed to shock him., while everyone was shouting their happy birthday wishes to him.

“I was so focused on what happened today that I completely forgot about this. Thank you, everyone.” Lucifer made that kitten smile again, which only made me fawn over him. “First, he forgets his birthday, and now, judging by his face, he forgot even about this not-so-surprising party. It’s just like you predicted, My Lord.” Barbatos smiled calmly at Diavolo. “It’s been 500 years since I’ve seen Lucifer look so surprised.” the Prince grinned warmly. “Of course I’m surprised. The entrance hall is...Full of flowers and decorations. It doesn’t even look like the House of Lamentation.” Lucifer chuckled, looking around the place. “Yeeeeees! I came up with the idea and Beel helped me put up the decorations!” Asmo chirped brightly. “I...can’t wait...Any longer...” Beel groaned, starving. “Hey, Beel! Stop drooling on my head!” Levi whined in annoyance “Guys...Where is Mammon? I have to apologise for lashing out at him.” I scratch the back of my neck sheepishly. “Mammon is hiding inside that giant decoration over there.” Satan betrayed his location with no second to spare. “Gahh! Satan, you traitor...!” Mammon slowly left his hiding spot, as I and Lucifer shared an amused look. “Mammon.....!.....One second thought, today’s a special occasion so I’ll forgive you for running your mouth like that. Also, Y/N is sorry for being too harsh on you.” he chuckled, looking softly at his younger brother. “Big broooooo! Y/NNNNNN!” Mammon gleamed with absolute happiness hearing that.

We took the party to the dining place, where we toasted in Lucifer’s honour, and we found out about the funny situation between Beel and the poor trio assigned to the food.

“So, if Asmo and Beel were in charged of the decorations...And Satan, Belphie and Barbatos were in charge of the food...Were Mammon and Levi designated to get in my way?” Lucifer raised his eyebrow in curiosity. “The Single-Braincell Stalker Duo was supposed to be on Watch Duty...Or something like that.” I shrugged, chuckling at how silly that sounded. “They were rather noticeable.” the man sighed, shaking his head. “I was there to make sure Mammon didn’t screw up.” Levi defended himself. “See how well that worked out.” I sighed in mock-annoyance. “You were desperate to tag along so you could do live coverage of your stupid mission!” Mammon revealed Levi’s true intentions. “It’s a personal rule of mine to not live in the past.” Levi chuckled, brushing that aside.

After that, Diavolo made everyone give Lucifer their gift and a heartfelt birthday wish, and as expected, everything was very silly, awkward and funny, which only made it better.

Grinning, I take out a little dark blue gift box patterned with silvery stars and that has a silver bow, and handed it to the birthday boy, urging him to open it.

“Happy Birthday, Lucifer. I thought it would be cute...When I saw this Cerberus necklace, I just had to get it for you. Well...For the both of us.” my cheeks were sent ablaze as I took out the necklace from under my top, as soon as he opened the gift box. “Well, isn’t that adorable. Thank you, Y/N. Now I’ll think of you whenever I see it...And you shall do the same with me.” Lucifer leaned down to plant a lingering kiss on my forehead, expressing his gratitude, while everyone gasped at the action. “I’m glad I can finally see your smiling face.” Diavolo spoke in a softer, yet definitely gleeful voice. “I am very happy.” Lucifer’s kitten smile appeared on his face again. “I’m so glad that we met.” I muttered, gazing at him with infinite love. “As am I, Y/N. I will forever be grateful to Fate for making me choose you as the exchange student. Also, I appreciate the effort you all have to put this together. This will be remembered as my greatest birthday. You all have my gratitude...Cheers!” 

And with that, Lucifer raised his champagne glass to toast once again, and we all joined in, having a great time for the rest of the night.

In Every Universe

TIVATOBER 2020 // DAY 22

↳ prompt: Farmer’s Market - rated T (1,304 words)

summary: As the sun rises on a nearby market, Tony and Ziva make their way through the fruit and vegetables stands. 

A/N: my take on the pure soulmate energy that irradiates from Tiva. Those who know me well, know how much I’m obsessed with this topic haha <3

read it on AO3 🍊

It was early enough to hear the birds singing in different tunes, but still too early for the sun to have fully risen. With the sky shifting from dark blue to pale orange, Tony blinked away the tiredness as he tried to fully appreciate the beauty of it.

His eyelids burned with fatigue, but the crisp cool autumn air made him alert enough not to fall asleep on the spot. After a rather difficult case and long nights locked inside the navy yard with only bad stakeout food and shots of caffeine, Tony was immensely glad they’d found their killer in time and their boss had sent them home. The prospects of a three-day weekend brought a nice feeling to his chest, one that made the drowsiness feel soothing, not guilty as it did before.  

Tony was, in fact, so glad, that he didn’t even register where his feet were heading until they suddenly arrived at the local market—early vendors setting up their stands and a few curious passersby already eyeing their products even before dawn. There were fresh fruit and vegetables neatly displayed (things he wasn’t particularly fond of) but they looked so good it made his mouth water. He really needed some sleep to get his mind back together. 

McGee went home to crash on something that wasn’t the hard floor of Abby’s lab and when Ziva said she was still to take a look at what was for sale at a farmer’s market nearby, Tony found himself following her without even thinking about it. It felt almost second nature to him now, and she appeared to be too tired to complain.  

“C’mon,” Tony sent a lazy grin her way and somehow knew he looked like a fool doing so. “You’re no fun. I already know you as an officer.”

“But it’s true,” Ziva chuckled, shoulders hunching up in defence. “I do not see myself being anything else.”

“Oh, c’mon, David,” he encouraged, bumping his shoulder with hers, “Let down your guard a little. Think about your childhood dreams, your locked-away secrets. Your walls can’t be that high this time in the morning.”

Ziva looked at him amused and quirked up an eyebrow, asking, “What would you be?”

“I asked you first,” Tony replied with a smile. 

“And I asked you second.”

Ziva then pulled a face he knew too well - the one she did whenever she was determined to make something happen, with her nose angled up just a little - and Tony found himself wondering if all people looked that beautiful at dawn, or if it was just her. 

“Hmm,” Tony mused to himself, putting his hands inside his pockets, “Probably a personal trainer. It would certainly make me feel great not to throw my Bachelor degree in Physical Education right into the trash bin like I did when I left Ohio Estate.”

“It wasn’t a complete waste.”

He turned to Ziva to find her watching him with a small smile and was surprised to see that she looked almost shy about it. Perhaps days without sleep had done something to her hardiness, and Tony instantly felt more vulnerable than he would ever admit. 

“I’ll take that as a compliment,” he replied with a slight duck of his head. “And you? Now you have to answer.”

Ziva looked at the sky beyond, putting her hands behind her back and swaying closer to him. He wondered if she also felt that pull of wanting to touch each other, one that was frequently present but not as strong. Now with the world around them turning pastel, it seemed like it had increased a thousandfold, and Tony had to press his lips together to keep his self-control in check. He suddenly had to fight the urge of taking her hand in his, and that alone made his fingers itch. 

“Hm,” Ziva hummed. “I think I would’ve liked to teach self-defense classes.” 

“A fighting instructor, huh?” He wasn’t surprised. “Suits you. I bet your classes would be filled with douchebags trying to get your number.”

Ziva chuckled. “I could teach them a thing or two.”

“You think we would work at the same place?”

“Hm. Maybe.”

“Be coworkers, huh?” Tony sent her a lopsided grin and Ziva huffed out a laugh, clearly amused by his line of thinking. 

“I do not think we would even have met.”

“Of course we would,” he stepped into her personal space to whisper, “I would be the too hot gym instructor you wouldn’t be able to take your eyes from all day.”

Ziva’s answering chuckle made his heart skip a beat, and Tony grew addicted to the sound. All he wanted to do nowadays was to make her laugh, his attempts at joking about everything turning more frequent than not. 

“Sure,” she smiled, and stepped closer to one booth at the side to look at its vegetables. In a minute, she had charmed the couple of vendors and now left with a paper bag filled with beetroots, a soft smile permanent on her face. 

He couldn’t stop staring.

“Maybe you would be the one asking my number then, huh?” asked Tony smugly, though the smile in his voice betrayed the truth. 

“Don’t fool yourself.” Ziva huffed. “You would be too occupied taking every single one of your clients to bed.”

“Ha!” Tony laughed to the sky. She was probably right. “But would you give me your number if I asked?”

“If you asked nicely…” She sent him a knowing look. “... perhaps.”

Tony’s eyebrows shot skywards. “Really? And would you go out with me?” 

Ziva turned to him then, and a smile started to twitch on his lips. He hadn’t missed how she’d halted for a moment, the double meaning of his words hanging in the air. The twinkle in her eye told him she had caught it, and Tony’s grin widened when she chose not to comment on it.

“It would have probably been out of pity,” Ziva replied instead. 

“Ouch,” Tony pretended to look affronted. “Not even casual sex? I bet we would’ve teamed up against bad wages and annoying students.”

She raised an eyebrow, but chuckled nonetheless. “Probably.”

“Be friends with benefits.”

“Now you’re dreaming.”

“Friends, at least?”

Whatever quick reply Ziva was ready to give him was cut short when an old lady approached them, coming from behind one of the stands. She had wrinkles around her eyes and starking white hair, but her smile was honest and excited. 

“For the couple,” she said, taking Tony’s hands inside her own and giving him a clementine. 

He felt a heat crept up his neck, and immediately corrected her, “We’re not a…”  

Then Tony turned to Ziva to find her watching him closely. There was a different sparkle in her eyes he’d never seen before, one that made him double-check to see if it was still there. But there it was - smiling as if she knew a secret, and silently asking if he knew that too.

Blinking away something more than just tiredness, Tony turned to the old lady again, who was patting the hand that was still on top of his.

“Thank you,” Tony said, watching her nod and then go back to behind her shop. 

He threw the orange from one hand to another, trying to think properly. Eventually, he decided it was way too early to be dwelling on matters that made his heart race like that. 

Tony parted the clementine into two identical halves and gave one to Ziva, who accepted without a word. 

Failing to suppress their smiles, they continued to walk down the market, stopping to grab some breakfast and then later to watch the sun fully rise. 

They didn’t continue their conversation, though, but it didn’t really matter. 

He had a feeling that in every universe, they would’ve always ended up that way.

[aqvarius]

I been wondering how many untranslated sub stories hlitf left? And which one, that u want to be translate asap

at first i was just going to answer this as “a lot”, but i was curious and really decided to count the actual number. and the answer is A LOT. 129 untranslated substories to be exact!! (128 when ayumu’s episode 0 comes out). i also didn’t count “discontinued stories” or reward stories (the ones you can only get if you met campaign requirements) or repackaged stories (there’s a substory which is just the text version of goto/kaga/shinonome’s voiced stories, and another 5 which are just goto/kaga/shinonome’s voiced stories split by chapter rather than character. i also didn’t check koi cafe. 

there are so many that i want to be translated!! but let me list a few of the ones i want the most:

all of the 勘違い ♡ BABY stories, also bc the SP (bodyguards) appear in these stories~

in kaga’s one, you go on a diet cause he squished your stomach and said it was soft while he was sleeping lol and also bc ayumu is compiling photos for something like a yearbook (graduation album) and saw you about to eat a doughnut and told you that the camera adds 10lbs. because you go on a soy-heavy diet, your period isn’t arriving and you go see an obgyn as recommended by riko. in the hospital, you bump into katsuragi!! anyway you left your phone in the obgyn department and get called to retrieve it on the loudspeaker so katsuragi and shinonome hear it and assume you’re pregnant. you tell shinonome to keep it a secret and then he blackmails you into helping him with the grad album and kaga gets annoyed since you’re listening to someone other than your master. when he finds out that you went to the hospital to see an obgyn he’s just... SO SOFT AND CARING???????? he makes you lie down and sleep and he makes you so much food and is relieved that your complexion is back to normal and when you tell him the reason you started dieting he APOLOGISES ALSKDJFLAS. one of the options to respond to his apology is asking him if he has a fever lol. another option is telling him to stop (apologising) and be mean like he usually is and then he’s like are you a masochist lmao. 

anyway he tells you that if you really are pregnant, don’t hide it next time since “it’s OUR problem” and not just yours. he also says that not speaking up might harm you and that he doesn’t intend for your relationship to be loose/casual (meaning he’s serious about being with you). HELP I LOVE KAGA.

afterwards, katsuragi is in the instructor’s room to do something and then he thinks you’re pregnant so he gives you a congratulatory bouquet from your team and ayumu literally loses it. 

I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH i can’t WAIT until it’s translated!! you all know i love soft/caring kaga the most and getting that + pregnancy misunderstanding + katsuragi + ayumu being a brat all in one story? *chefs kiss* incredible. i read this story on sato’s room, my favourite jp blog for hlitf content.

in goto’s one, where you go to a drinking party with naruko but it turns out to be a group date (goukon). sora and kurosawa make an appearance (naturally!!)

kaiji makes an appearance in ishigami’s route in which you go to his place to retrieve some documents for him and find lipstick and a lingering scent at his place after he cancels a date because he’s busy with work...

shinonome’s one is the one i’ve briefly mentioned before where his mc ends up with a porn dvd by accident. ayumu also gets jealous of mizuki in it (since his mc in particular just loves mizuki and is starstruck every time she sees him lol, the same thing happens in one of his vip room chapters too )

soma’s route is the one i also posted about recently where you have a matchmaking meeting with subaru. i’ve mentioned this like 5 times before but i literally am dying to see subaru/soma dynamics since subaru is usually so alpha male but soma was his mentor and senpai and trained him in criminal affairs and he really respects him, so i’m desperate to see them interact particularly in a competitive(?) setting. 

there’s another substory i want which is just for kaga and soma called ふれない夜を過ごすとき (when you spend a night without touching). the common factor in both stories is that mc turns down kaga and soma’s advances in bed (because of different story-related reasons) and it results in a ‘cold’ night where they just go to sleep. it’s so appropriate for these two considering they’re the most sexual/physical in the whole title. 

in this substory, voltage alternates between your pov and his pov for each chapter which i think is so interesting. i also love seeing both instructors being so ANXIOUS? about being turned down, since it never happens. and they’re so accepting of your rejection but so worried and hurt asdlkfs i love it. seeing soma being rattled for once is an incredible feeling lmao. and also seeing the third chapter from his perspective is so cool because you really get to see him put his detective skills to use when it comes to gathering information.

a fun detail in kaga’s route is that at the beginning you watch a film together called “ 私の名は” (obviously meant to be playing on “your name” kimi no na wa) haha. by the way, this is also the substory where we meet akane (who you may have seen in kaga vip room stories and ss3). i’m not going to spoil who akane actually is but let’s just say it was totally unexpected... 

aside from these two i want:

入捜査は蜜の味 which is a substory about going on undercover mission with your man. by the way, in this substory, kosugi from my sweet bodyguard is already a famous actress whose shows sell out in under a minute. 

離れるの禁止！－手錠で１日独り占め♡ー a substory just for kaga, goto and shinonome where you end up handcuffed to your instructor for a day

私を見つけて☆王子様 an AU substory with kaga, shinonome and namba routes since they won places in the 2015 election. the concept is like a cinderella x tanabata situation and it’s honestly HYSTERICAL. 

in the kaga ver, shinonome and soma are your evil stepbrother and stepfather respectively and you can only see kaga once a year. you met him in town last year and you spent a day (and night ;)) together and now you want to go to the ball this year. goto and kurosawa are your wizards (fairy godmothers) and their sprites wear giant witch hats with their regular suits. it’s literally so funny. ishigami is kaga’s butler and honestly, he is such a claude lmao. kurosawa reappears disguised as a prince and tries to get you to dance with him and prince hyogo literally tosses him out of the way and calls him nouveau riche ;alskfdjls. anyway he does the whole “i don’t care about your status” thing and wants to be with you. turns out it was a dream the whole time and you tell kaga about it and he’s like i don’t want that fucking megane to be my butler lmaooo (amongst other cute things that he says)

in the namba ver., kaga and shinonome are your stepbrothers A and B. they’re bullying you as usual and then prince namba shows up. i love how kaga is prince hyogo but namba is just prince namba. he whisks you away to a bar somewhere after joking that you don’t have sex appeal because you’re <30 year old and then butler ishigami comes to get him lol. prince namba tells you to grow a little next time you meet and then ishigami is like stop it with the harrassment, you are already being complained about by princesses from neighbouring countries lmaoooo. anyway you get grounded by stepbrothers kaga and shinonome and your evil stepfather soma and made to stay indoors and do chores for the rest of your life while they go to the tanabata ball. wizard goto appears and he’s SHY LOL and he uses his magic to dress you up and whisk you to the ball, where you see prince namba again. you’re about to kiss and then the bell rings and you flee before the date changes (since wizard goto’s magic only works on july 7 lol). literally an entire year passes and you wish to see prince namba at the ball again and wizard goto shows up to grant your wish. however, your evil stepfamily burst in and tie you and wizard goto up because they knew you used magic to go to the ball last year hahahahahhaa. you somehow escape and ride goto’s horse to the ball and namba sees you cause your horse is like screaming/making some really weird noise. he brings you inside and has a whole bunch of gowns and accessories laid out and is like “this old man doesn’t know what kids like so just pick whatever”. you get all dolled up and he tells you he’s impressed by how mature you look and that he was waiting for you and long story short he takes you on a garden stroll and gets on his knees and asks you to be with him forever. naturally, it’s a dream and you wake up in the reference room where you chat a bit with namba and then you end up going for ramen but this is before namba ms2 probably so you aren’t together yet and you lament that he just sees you as a trainee. 

i can’t find a copy of shinonome’s ver online and i spent all my money on intl voltage so sadly i can’t summarise it but i bet it’s equally ridiculous and funny. 

カクテルグラスに愛をのせて a really cute set of substories featuring ishigami, namba and soma which are all about “cocktail language” (as in cocktails having different meanings). i want soma’s one to be translated so badly so i can see dumbass mc being fooled over and over and over again by everyone’s lies and then soma ultimately being SO cute~ 

彼が野生動物だった件 this one is basically about you and your man not being able to touch each other because you need to hide your relationship from tsugaru’s surveillance - but when it’s over, you get devoured by your frustrated boyfriend... 

カレが妬くと大変なことになりまs aka all of those rival jealousy stories. naturally i’m most desperate for soma v shinonome. also, the first of these stories to come out (a while before any of the other ones) was kaga vs tsugaru, so i thought haha they replaced the “す” with “s” for sadist. they kept the titling like this for every single rival pair (namba v kurosawa, ishigami v goto, soma v shinonome) and i was like oh that does undermine it... but then i realised that as tsugaru once said, their entire department is full of sadists and public safety division should be renamed to SM division so~

aside from all of those, i want all the anniversary stories as well with their accompanying CGs and/or manga!! 

ahh... there’s also the 2/365 birthday story (which is where ishigami gifts you the matching watch btw) which is literally just everyone spoiling you and it’s so cute. anyway if i don’t stop this now i will keep going on and on and on but basically every single hlitf substory is AMAZING? i hope they release the untranslated summer ones soon too as summer is coming up!

ETA: I FORGOT TO MENTION I ALSO WANT THIS WHOLE SET: 逆転バレンタイン- 恋人は専属補佐官 which is a valentine special where basically the roles are reversed and you are the instructor and he is your exclusive aide~ 

and i want the entire kare kiss set as well because you know how much i love a jealousy plot ;) 

EDIT 2: I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION 加賀兵吾の再調教 if only just for this one image 

and this formalwear sprite

and also just the drama of you being locked in a cage barely conscious for days while kaga has to pretend to sell you to a perverted millionaire 

by the way, the heart necklace you’re wearing in the cg is something that kaga gave in one of his main routes iirc and he literally tramples on it in this special... the DRAMA

[riyuyami]

Since I’m not letting this DW au fall flat nor am I letting my sudden urge to make ygo content vanish from lack of producing content, here’s a drabble!

Summery: Yugi just wants to leave work for the evening, but a quick chore is delaying that.

Only, he wished that was what it was, not these scary plastic people! At least a guy in a leather jacket is there to help him, right?

Right?

Warning: spoilers for those who having not seen the first episode of the new Doctor Who series, Rose. Yami Yugi from season zero/early manga is meant to be the Ninth Doctor, tho with shorter hair without the red tips, he has to look a bit different from Yugi, but he still keeps some of the leather haha. 

On with the fic!

--

Yugi couldn’t find the electrician anywhere, making this task practically pointless!

He should have just left the money bag somewhere the man would be able to find it with ease so Yugi’d get home. It’s been a long shift, and he had spent the day out and about, including a lunch date with Joey! He deserved to go home and relax at the estates with his mom.

The young man paused, having heard something in the empty maintenance hallway. At least... he hoped it was empty. 

There was a sudden bang on a door nearby and Yugi jumped, realizing that was his exit door out of here! He rushed past some mannequins to get to the door, trying to open them, but to no luck. The doors were locked! There was a sound behind him, and Yugi turned, trying to see who or what made it.

“Is there someone knocking about?” He called out, only seeing the mannequins. Carefully, he stepped down the hall, looking around. “Who is it?” He asked, never noticing that he was being watched.

Until he turned around at the sound of a strange creaking.

Staring in confusion, Yugi watched as a mannequin started to slowly lean forward, then stepped out into the hall in front of the boy. Behind the plastic thing, Yugi watched with wide eyes as other display models started to do the same as the first, moving towards him with awkward steps.

“Uh... y-you got me, very funny.” He said to the figure, this had to be a joke, right? Plastic models can’t just come to life. “I’ve got the joke! Who’s idea is this? Is it Derek’s? Is it?”

Yugi was beginning to panic, backing away as the mannequins continued to step closer and closer.

“Derek, is this you?” Yugi asked, turning around to find another plastic model moving behind him. He gasped, moving away, but they just kept growing in numbers, were all of them alive!? This had to be a prank, it just had to be!

He moved away, trying to find an exit, only to be backed up and suddenly surrounded! The mannequins lifted their arms, readying to strike, and Yugi shut his eyes, fearing what comes next.

Until a hand, a warm, flesh-and-blood hand, grabbed his own.

Turning, Yugi stared at the man to his left, dressed in leather with black and blond hair.

“Run.” He said, and Yugi was yanked, moving out of the way of the attack, that sliced right through a steam pipe!

The stranger pulled Yugi along, through a pair of doors, away from the plastic models. However, they seemed to have picked up speed and were keeping a close distance behind the pair as they ran down another hallway.

They continued to run through doors and halls, avoiding more of the strange figures, until the stranger found the service elevator. The doors opened quickly and Yugi was pushed inside, the stranger following quickly just as a fake arm shoved itself through the closing doors.

The man in the leather jacket struggled with the arm as it tried to grab at him, until it came off with a nearly-comical pop! The doors shut and they were left alone.

“You pulled his arm off.” Yugi spoke, blinking.

“Yep.” Said the other man, tossing the arm at Yugi, who just barely caught it. “Plastic.”

“Very clever, nice trick.” Yugi huffed, looking at the man suspiciously. “Who were they then, students? This a student thing or what?”

“Who could they be students?”

“I don’t know.”

The man in leather raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms. “Well, you said it, why students.”

Yugi frowned, giving a shrug as he still held that stupid arm in his hands. “Cause... to get that many people dressed up and being silly, they gotta be students.”

He turned, smiling, giving a nod. “That makes sense. Well done.”

“Thanks.”

“They’re not students.”

The younger of the two rolled his eyes. “Well, whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he’s gonna call the police.”

The man looked a little confused. “Who’s Wilson?”

“Chief electrician.”

“Wilson’s dead.” Came the reply just as the elevator doors opened and the man stepped out, leaving Yugi stunned at how casual that was just said. 

He snapped out of it quickly. “That’s not funny, that’s sick!” 

Yugi was suddenly stopped by the stranger, telling him to mind his eyes as he turned around and focused a strange looking pen at the elevator buttons on the wall. It made a curious sound, glowing a bright blue, before the buttons popped and sparked brightly.

The man moved away, Yugi left stunned and annoyed this time. “Well, who are you then!?” He demanded. “Who’s that locked down there!? I said, who are they!?” He called out as he chased after the retreating weirdo.

“They’re made of plastic.” The other man replied as they continued onward. “Living plastic creatures that are being controlled by a relay device on the roof! Which would be a great big problem if I didn’t have...”

He came to a stop in front of a set of doors, suddenly wiping out a strange device that was beeping, a bomb. “This!” He said, sounding a bit prideful about it.

“So!” He turned to go up a small flight of steps to get to the doors. “I’m gonna go upstairs, and blow it up! And I might will die in the process, but don’t worry about me. No, you go on, go have your lovely beans on toast!” He pushed Yugi through the doors as he spoke.

“Don’t tell anyone about this,” He continued, “cause if you do, you’ll get them killed.” With that, he shut the door, leaving Yugi confused.

The door suddenly opened up once more, and the stranger leaned out. “I’m the Doctor, by the way. What’s your name?”

Yugi blinked. “Yugi.” 

“Nice to meet you, Yugi!” The stranger, the Doctor, smiled brightly. “Run for your life!” 

He slammed the door shut again, leaving Yugi to his own devices. Which was pretty much to do exactly as the Doctor said, run! 

He had been lead outside and he made a break for it, getting away from the building as quickly as he could. Once he was a distance away, he walked carefully, making sure that those plastic things weren’t following him. He crossed the street, away from his work place, turning around just in time to see the roof of the building explode! 

People were panicking, running away, screaming from the explosion, and Yugi made a move to get back to his home before anything else crazy happened.

All the while, he still carried the plastic arm with him.

TBC

--

I might do a second part, where the Doctor shows up at the Powell Estate where Yugi lives. Yes, I know I probably should set this in Japan, but honestly? Putting this in England like the original show is a lot more fun, haha. And also, Doctor Who is very British, so it’s hard to just change up a lot of elements because nearly every episode centered on Earth is in the UK.

Also, I had to copy this scene from a youtube video with no subtitles so I might have gotten some of the dialogue wrong. 

And yes, this is tagged puzzleshipping because if any of you know the ship ninerose (or even tenrose), you know why.

Thanks for reading! I’m open to drabble suggestions for this au! :D 

[breezy-cheezy]

I finished Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Long story short, I loved it!! So much!! And there’s alot I wanna rant about so here we are. A review of sorts?? Major spoilers ahead! 

And if y’all think you’re immune to spoilers because you played the original FF7, YOU ARE NOT. Lots of new stuff here....just warning y’all.

Although! I did find this great looking walkthrough playlist if anyone’s interested and can’t play the thing themselves? Idk how complete it is with the details, but from a glance it looks nice! 

- FIRST OF ALL the music in it all is amazing!!! From the menu song all throughout, I got Emotional. All the rehashings of Aerith’s theme?? Tifa’s theme?? The FF7 main theme here are there?? AMAZING!!!! I need to find a tracklist or something there are so many versions of the songs specific to the scenes they played in and I die??? Man it is Good. 

- On the music front, I really enjoyed the Jukebox feature! So they could add in old classic songs that story-wise couldn’t appear yet...good nostalgia there. 

- Lil disclaimer, I played the original FF7 fairly recently, on Steam. HOWEVER. I played Crisis Core years ago, and watched Advent Children, etc. And Final Fantasy music has been a staple homework playlist for me for ages now.... So yes I’m new to the whole FF7 original story. But not new in how most people are...it’s a weird situation lol. Like I knew the general FF7 story for awhile but just recently filled the details....

- The gameplay is awesome!! I wasn’t great at it, but...tbh it felt like mechanics combo of the original FF7, FF15, annnnd Kingdom Hearts :D Also appreciated it PAUSED when you picked out commands lol. Loved upgrading weapons. Loved working with materia. I wish there were like...ways to save a materia set so you could easily switch over when your characters were switched out though X’’’’D 

- Biggs is Aro/Ace

- Cloud is VERY Aro/Ace

- Tifa might be Ace

- I decided long ago (in my Crisis Core phase) that Sephiroth is Aro/Ace. There’s nothing to “prove it” in this game but I’m holding to it. I have claimed these characters askjdhuiwdhguerhgr

- Side note, slightly related, but I love how the relationships shone in this remake?? Lots of casual, comfortable touch with Tifa and Cloud (in which Cloud seems in general pretty touch averse due likely to Trauma) in a “we’ve known each other our whole lives” way and gosh I love them. Aerith with Cloud is adorable. Barret!!! Was characterized SO WELL here, and I love him way more than I ever did!! Barret and Tifa interactions as well were so heartfelt and wonderful aaaaaa how good

- Like...Barret haaaates Cloud in the beginning. But somewhere along the way he adopts Cloud instead and ain’t that fantastic?? He just can’t contain how much he cares about others and especially his daughter and goSH I love him. 

- Aerith!! I love her!! She gave such a vibe that she knows more than she says, but is still so cute and sweet and sassy I LOVE!!!! Also that scene in the train graveyard with baby Aerith ;;~;; 

- Also

Cloud: You need any help??

Aerith, climbing a ladder: I’m fine. You don’t need to treat me like a princess or anything~~~

*ladder breaks*

Aerith, completely serious: s h * t.

I LAUGH

- Cloud was actually really cute with kids!!!!! 

- I think I saw a post where they talked about how much more consistent characterizations were here?? I have to agree. I feel some stuff was lost in translation while playing FF7 original, and it felt alot more put together, character-wise, here. I feel like some of that was learned from FF15 and its success with character relationships?? It was Good. 

_ I rambled about this before, but Wall Market was every bit as embarrassing as you would think. *covers face*

- Also I thought it was interesting how they handled who was in your party when! A little annoying sometimes though, switching materia around!!! DX I also really wanted to actually PLAY Red XIII/Nanaki....but sure make him an NPC, whatever. (I am grateful he healed me often.)

- *me when Nanaki shows up* AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! THERE HE IS!!!!!!! (sidenote, in the original, I didn’t wanna call him by his experiment name. He’s the only character I changed the name of. The name I picked? Ignis. :”D )

- The motorcycle segments were ANNOYING AS HECK, especially that last one in escaping the Shinra building DX The game forced your camera to focus on the boss and that made the controls VERY ANNOYING. Cool to watch tho.

- I actually almost completed the game boss fight chain early last night!! But RIGHT when I got to Sephiroth, the family demanded I get off the TV for their use D: all that progress....I had to redo ALOT. DX 

- STILL the fights were VERY cool! Reminded me of KHII end alot actually, jumping around on broken floating buildings and whatnot?? Also the creature looked like a HUGE DARKSIDE heartless lol

- There’s actually alot in this remake that gives alot of a KH feel to me?? Nomura I see you....

- *screeching the One Winged Angel theme still not knowing the words* 

- I LOVED how they showed scenes of the future in the end?? Probably ripped from Advent Children, but?? The characters actually seeing that?? Going “this CAN’T be our future!!” Yo. Also it’s implied it might not HAPPEN now going against destiny and all. I know alot of people are pissed but I am EXCITED. I’m all for a fix-it fic game thank YOU. 

- Speaking of fix-it: ZACK. ZAAAAAACK!!!!!! It’s implied he’s alive in one reality so WHERE IS HE??????? I’m so curious about this new story. I’m gonna eat up theories. I want!! To see!! My baby boy!!!!!! to be Fair (haha) I spoiled myself knowing he was in the game but I didn’t know WHEN!!!

- This is terrible, but I love how much they expressed how NOT OK Cloud is. His mental state is awful, but boi won’t talk about it. 

- Like I know it’s in the original, but it comes up ALOT more in the remake, and the flashbacks/brain short out moments are more obvious in HD for sure. Plus Cloud’s eyes seem more green there, which is a great touch!! Also the incredible FORESHADOWING it brought. Love it. Please someone help this idiot with his headaches....

- I did get annoyed with the whole scene in Hojo’s lab. Cloud’s walking like a zombie toward where Jenova is, saying CONCERNING things, and NO ONE reaches out until he outright collapses? We all just gonna stand back and watch?? Sure ok. 

- Hojo is absolutely disgusting and horrifying and exactly how I imagined him, creators did great job.

- Also why does no one use curaga in these character death scenes???? Potion? Anything????Hello??????

- I was so relieved Wedge (and one of his 3 cats) got to live, and then devastated when they chucked him out a window last minute ;;A;; still. I didn’t see a body. Maybe he’s ok.....*sobs*

- I WAS NOT EXPECTING BIGGS TO BE SEEN IN RECOVERY THO YEEEEESSSSS (I love ANY sign that they DID manage to change the future a little...I thought he was dead!!) Fun fact! The one part I legitimately started crying was when Biggs “died”! Hhhhhhhhhh

- Those dang dementors huh? X’’’D Whispers of fate...there to make sure the story goes according to the original game basically. Does that make the whispers the purist fans of FF7? ...please don’t kill me for that comment sidfiushguigerha

- I just wanna say making a game ABOUT making a remake (that is different from the original) and the struggles in that is VERY meta and so clever and delightful and I LOVE IT. I really wanna see what happens next....

All in all I spent 52 hours on this game. WAY more than I expected for only covering Midgar. And I ENJOYED it!! Some parts felt like the story was being dragged/padded, but most of the time I didn’t care. Also there’s even more to do?? Apparently I missed some scenes....I don’t have time for now, but maybe someday. Or maybe I’ll just look them up ;;7;; 

It’s a good game y’all!!

Pairing: Byleth x Felix (with a tiny Byleth x Sylvain. like super tiny) |  POV: Felix Headcanon: How Felix announces to everyone that he’s engaged to Byleth also how their first time happens (+ Jealous Felix)

note: I just had to for the tsundere of the whole game. I had to. This got really long, I was just going to do like a headcanon bulletin type of shit but THEN THIS HAPPENED

The first time Felix kisses Byleth is after his confession. He thinks that it would be the perfect time, she’s already right there pressed against the wall so it wouldn’t be too weird if he just leaned in. She said she feels the same so that should be an indication, right? So he does, he leans in and he thinks this is totally fine.

Except it wasn’t. He’s never kissed anyone before, having spent his time sparring during his academy days left him with little time to explore the subject of romance. Felix thinks that even during his time as a student, he’s only ever really had eyes for her (albeit unbeknownst and unrecognized by him). With that in mind, the kiss, although reciprocated, was a little sloppy. Felix kissed her but the embarrassment of not knowing how to properly kiss anyone was sending his face aflame.

Needless to say, his lips started quivering and Byleth noticed. Too embarrassed to address it, he just leans on her shoulder and lets the scarlet overtake his whole face. Byleth thought it was endearing and patted his back in reassurance. They stay like that for a minute before composing himself and telling her that they should probably go back where everyone was.

Felix isn’t the type to show public displays of affection so for the next two days, despite coming to terms with their relationship, they found no reason for them to announce their relationship to the others. This was something that they could keep to themselves and that thought…made him happy.

Of course it doesn’t occur to him that the other Blue Lion students probably had the same sentiment towards Byleth. If he felt that way towards her, then surely some of the other students too, right? That thought hadn’t crossed his mind up until he saw Sylvain and Byleth near the newly built garden.

From afar he could already see Sylvain’s smirk that had girls and guys falling on their knees for him. Felix has never been romantically jealous before, but the tinge in his chest was definitely something that he can’t help but notice. He doesn’t make a ruckus, just watches from a far and listens in (definitely not eavesdropping. Nope).

Managing to pick up a few words, he realizes that Sylvain was laying it on thick. Telling her how radiant she’s been looking now that the war is over. That perhaps now that the war has ended, she’d be able to look for future prospects for a lifelong partner. Sylvain: …maybe someone like me?

Felix felt a vain pop, the little patience he had for Sylvain slowly diminishing by the second. Sylvain: We can talk about it over dinner, prof. Byleth: Oh, Felix may want to join us for that. I’ll ask him.

Was it wrong for him to smirk at the idea of Byleth thinking of him in this type of a situation? Probably, but it definitely did ease the pinch in his chest. Sylvain: Wait, why? Sylvain: It’d be nice with just the two of us. Trust me on this. Byleth: mm. Then I’m afraid I’ll have to decline.

Before Sylvain could even continue, Felix comes out of the corner to announce his presence. Felix: okay, that’s enough. I’ll be taking Byleth now. Sylvain: Byle- since when did you start calling her by her actual name? Felix, holding her hand: since today. Sylvain: okay well if that’s the case, I’ll call her by her name too. Byleth would you like to have dinner with me? Felix: Felix: Thank you for the invitation but the answer is no.

And then he drags he out of there, still holding her hand as he grumbles. Byleth doesn’t know what has gotten into him but she doesn’t mind, kinda just follows with the same calm expression. Felix, inwardly to himself: the ring ain’t doing shit. I gotta do something.

The next day at the dining hall, Felix very casually sits next to her and holds her hand, their rings clearly visible. Felix: Good morning, Byleth

This was uncharacteristic of him so this concerns Byleth. Byleth: Good morning, Felix. Are you feeling well?

While he’s awkward when it comes to affection, he finds that he’s very thorough when it comes to jealousy and misunderstandings. Felix: I’m feeling great, would’ve been better had you visited me last night.

A bold statement coming from a guy whose face was clearly turning into a shade of red. By now people are watching. Mercedes was the first one to finally ask (because she handles his outbursts better than most people). Mercedes: Oh my, are those rings? Felix, trying to keep a straight face despite of the blush: Yes, I asked her to marry me.

And then the whole damn place erupts. Byleth is unsure why her former students are so rowdy. Sylvain, finally: NO WAY, YOU!? Felix, giving the redhead a pointed glare: Yes, me.

The burning curiosity from everyone was making his face feel warmer than it already was so rather than staying, Felix very calmly (as calm as he could) takes her hand to stand. Felix: Well it’s far too crowded here, lets eat elsewhere Byleth.

He’s definitely showing off the fact that he calls her by her name instead of professor or teach. And so they eat elsewhere and that’s when he kinda sighs and crumbles into a flustered mess of embarrassment. Of course Byleth’s just happy with being alone with him considering how different he is when it’s just the two of them. Byleth: no need to turn red, Felix. Blue is a far more fitting color for you. Felix: ….who’s red? Not me pffft.

He says while turning more red. While that was finally cleared and everyone now knows that they’re together – it now came to the matter of affection.

Sylvain is the one to ask because that guy is just as curious as everyone else, but he actually has the guts to ask. It happens one morning while Felix’s cleaning his sword. Sylvain, literally only came to the training room for this: so you and the prof – you uh…. Felix: what? Spit it out. Sylvain: ya know, did the hanky panky? Felix: They hanky what now? Speak properly. Sylvain: you seen them honkers, you know? Felix: Sylvain. Slyvain: okay okay, have you and the prof done the nasty? Felix: Again, what? Sylvain: Felix, you can’t seriously be this dense. Have you and the professor have sex yet? Felix: Felix: I don’t see the need for you to concern yourself with this. Sylvain: Sylvain: so that’s a no. Felix: Shut up Sylvain Sylvain: okay you've never been with any woman, even during our academy days, girls didn’t interest you Felix: because they were annoying, always following you around Sylvain: but it's different now, right? you love Byleth and as such, you'd need to know how to please a woman Felix: Byleth is pleased by me– Sylvain: I’m sure she is, but I meant for sex Felix: ...whatever you say

He says while clearly feeling the warmth creep along his cheeks. Sylvain ends up talking and talking and talking while Felix feigns boredom (but really, he was taking notes in his head). Sylvain: got it? When all else fails, use your tongue Felix, clearly, totally, definitely not interested: Whatever.

He leaves thinking he’s had enough of Sylvain’s nonsense, but the thought kept creeping back, leaving him flustered. Would Byleth really…want him to do that…?

He can’t even kiss her without feeling embarrassed and the last time he’s kissed her was at the goddess tower. It’s been a month and a half since then and he just figured the time will come when it comes. It also didn’t help that he didn’t know how to go about kissing her again. Does he ask? No…that’d be weird.

This gets his mind racing so when he spots her drinking tea and she spots him, he tries his damnest to fucking walk over there without thinking about what Sylvain had said. Felix: Byleth, you seem relaxed.

He’s trying to calm his nerves but he keeps looking at her fucking lips and he’s going to die.

Byleth is so blissfully unaware of the dilemma that she’s causing to him. Byleth with her tea: mm, quite relaxed. It’s been a lovely evening and it’s gotten lovelier with you here.

After a while she could see his stiffness. Byleth: is everything alright, Felix? Felix: huh? Oh- uh yes. Just, thinking. Felix: drinking tea Felix: continues to drink tea Felix: downs the tea Byleth, inwardly: that was freshly brewed, how did he- Felix: so hey, uhh…I wanted to ask you Felix, mouth lowkey numb from them burn: Do you maybe….want to…spend time tomorrow….with me….out in the town or something…haha we could get groceries...

Usually taking her to town wasn’t hard. All the times they’ve gone to town was casual and actually quite fun, but now he’s determined to kiss her. Tomorrow. Tomorrow he’s going to kiss her again. Byleth, smiling: of course, I’ve no plans tomorrow.

Come next morning and he’s there early to pick her up. He had Mercedes of course help him with the burn so now his mouth doesn’t really hurt. (Mercedes was so confused why his mouth was burnt ‘From tea? Felix how–‘ ‘Just…don’t ask.’)

They go to town and he initiates the PDA by holding her hand, which in turn causes Byleth to turn to his ever-pink face. He’s never done that before but it wasn’t unpleasant. What was supposed to be a grocery shopping became anything but that. They ended up going to a play, having lunch, and then he even bought her a trinket. A necklace at that.

By the time they’re done, it’s the afternoon and he’s walking her back to her room since she now resides inside the church because she’s now the new archbishop. Felix is quite thankful because there’s less people, he can definitely kiss her before arriving to her chambers. After checking his surroundings, right before they stop at her door, he finally tugs on her and asks Felix: Do you…the necklace…do you want me to put it on you? Byleth, smiling gently: yes, of course.

And she moves her hair to the side so he could do it easier. Felix, the awkward nervous boy that he is, is clearly shaking when he’s trying to put on the necklace because he neck was right there and it’s so slender and smooth and–

Before he could even really think about it, he kisses the back of her neck after finally putting the necklace on. He withdraws, flustered but standing his ground as Byleth turns, a slight pink on her cheeks. She wasn’t expecting the kiss and it sent tingles down her spine, but she smiles at him regardless. Byleth: Thank you, it’s beautiful. Felix, visibly pink: you’re….uh…you’re welcome….Byleth Felix: listen…can you close your eyes for a bit? Byleth: ??? Byleth: Okay.

She seemed confused but she closes her eyes and then that’s when he leans to kiss her, lips still quivering like the first time he kissed her. This time, his kiss wasn’t just a peck, this time he tries. She’s his first kiss but he figures the only way he could learn is through trial and error so he carefully deepens it, cupping her cheek and slanting his head so he could do this properly. She tastes like his favorite cup of tea and her lips were so damn soft. When the kiss was over, he withdraws and sees Byleth actually slightly flustered, a blush on her cheeks with a haze on her eyes. Felix: Felix: Felix: Sorry –

And then he leans to kiss her again. And again. And again as they walk back to her room while continuously kissing her over and over. It doesn’t occur to him that they’d hit the bed and that she’s suddenly under him. Once he realizes this, he’s flustered but he figures this is fine. He’ll just keep kissing her, that’s fine, right? The kisses lead to her neck, then to the swell of her breast, and then between her thighs. He doesn’t recall how they got naked or how it happened but they definitely end up doing what Sylvain called as ‘hanky panky.’ Felix refuses to let her go that night and sleeps there with her in his arms.

Felix wakes up confused as to where he was and why he was naked until he sees Byleth, equally naked. He remembers and he can’t help but kiss her bare back before pulling her closer to cuddle her some more.

Byleth is late for her meeting with Seteth and the Blue Lions. Sylvain: Good morning prof- Sylvain, noticing the bruise on her neck: :0

Felix comes following after Sylvain, looking at Felix then back to Byleth then back to Felix: :0 Byleth: Don’t.

Of course Byleth doesn’t even bother trying to cover it up or lie about it but Sylvain gives a Felix the hardest time and he swears, if they weren’t in the same team he would’ve stabbed this guy by now– Sylvain, nudging Felix during the meeting: So eh? You and the prof finally? Eh?

During the meeting Dimitri notices the interaction, confused up until he turns to Byleth and he sees a bruise just barely peaking out of the neckline of her clothing. Dimitri: Pro- Dimitri, noticing the hickey: Dimitri: COUGHS. Dimitri: uh… Dimitri: good morning, Professor. Uh- Dimitri, looking at Felix: Felix: What. Dimitri: Nothing.

Felix is a lot more cheerful that day. During lunch time, Mercedes notices the bruise, announcing it while everyone’s around. Mercedes: Oh professor you have a bruise on your neck, let me heal it! Everyone in the dinning room: Sylvain: heh Byleth: …sure Felix, inwardly grumbling to himself: It’ll heal naturally…you don’t have to remove it.

My Style

Pairing: SKZ’s Chan x OC [Genevy] Genre: slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 1,867 Summary: Genevy’s style is that if she likes someone, then she likes them. She’s just not admitting to her sister and friend of liking Chan although they know for sure that she’s just in denial about her feelings for him.

Warning: curse words. basically about it.

so, this piece was originally to something i wrote almost like 5 years ago, but i changed the person who i had originally wrote with. saw SKZ in concert and i’m just trying to release some feels haha but anyways, yeah the boys are great and if you get a chance go see them in concert. or anyone in concert that you can. it’s fun and a great experience. but um, yeah that’s about it so happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~

Genevy joined her sister and friend at the campus' cafeteria after getting out of her late morning class. Somehow they got on the topic of Genevy's love life.

"Why won't you just date me, Genevy?" Jisung asked with an obvious tone.

Genevy cast him a disgusted look.

"I will never date you, Jisung." Genevy stated while pointing at her sister across from her.

"You dated Esther and that's just messed up if I date you afterwards. Plus, you're totally not my style."

"Then what is your style?" He asked, but Esther interjected with a knowing look before Genevy could reply.

"Her style is Bang Chan style."

"No, it's not. My style is that if I like you, then I like you." Genevy denied, but the other two didn't believe her.

"You like Chan?" Jisung asked with a disbelief look. "I knew something was fishy between the two of you."

"There's nothing going on between us."

"Wait, what do you mean, Jisung?" Esther asked leaning towards the male. "I wanna know and she never tells me anything even though I know she's lying."

"I saw these two hanging out the other night as Chan walked her back to her dorm."

"Ohh, is that why you came back late that day?" Esther cooed at her sister wanting the details. "C'mon, just tell the truth."

"I already told you. Chan just walked me back to the dorm after I got out of class that night."

"Yeah, but doesn't your class end at nine though?" Jisung reasoned. "Why were you two hanging out until almost midnight?"

"It does and I dunno." Genevy answered with a shrug. "Chan and I were just talking about some random shit that made time fly by. He was the one that joined me in getting food since I was hungry and hadn't eaten all day that day."

"Oh, really?" The duo cooed in a smug matter as Genevy rolled her eyes.

"Seriously, y'all just making this all to be bigger than what it is. It's totally nothing."

"But I remember you being super flustered when you came back that night though." Esther recalled as Genevy instantly grew quiet.

"Oh, did something happened?" Jisung said as he leaned forward interested. "What happened that night, Genevy?"

"Nothing, Jisung. Nothing happened so back off. Besides, why are we talking about this right now?"

"Because you keep playing hard to get and denying your feelings." Esther remarked with a smirk as Genevy frowned.

"Gah you're so annoying."

"That's what little sisters are for."

"Ugh, you're just as bad as Jisung."

"What did I do?" Jisung looked up from his meal offended.

"Everything." The sisters chimed while chuckling as Jisung rolled his eyes.

"And y'all say I'm the annoying one."

Before the sisters could counter, another person joined their table and sat right next to Genevy.

"Chan, hi." Jisung greeted the other person with a wide smile. "We were just talking about you."

"Oh, yeah, why?" Chan asked as he glanced at the two across from him while casting a softer gaze onto the person next to him who avoided his existence.

"Because Ge-"

Genevy interrupted Jisung and looked over at Chan with a neutral expression.

"What are you doing here, anyways? Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"

"You're confusing my days. I don't have a class right now. That's tomorrow. I thought I told you this?"

"She has a bad memory." Esther explained with a laugh before looking back and forth between her sister and the male with a curious look. "Is there something going on between the two of you?"

Just as Genevy was about to deny once again, Chan spoke before she could.

"Oh yeah. I came to pick up your sister for our afternoon date."

"Ohh, really?" Esther cooed while wriggling her eyebrows up and down.

"No, not really. There's no date. Chan's making up shit. Right?"

Genevy glared at Chan who cast her an amused look in return.

"You really do have a bad memory, don't you?"

"Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about." Genevy admitted with a sheepish laugh.

"Genevy, it was like a week ago." Chan informed her with a chuckle. "You really don't remember?"

"Oh, I do." Jisung inputted. "It was at this time and area that time where Chan asked Genevy to hang out with him and she casually agreed."

"Oh, I know what's up." Esther realized the the situation. "On that day, Chan, you asked my sister to hang out while she was playing a game on her phone."

It finally hit Genevy on what they were talking about.

"Ah, so it was Chan who asked me if I was free that day."

"Yes, it was." Chan confirmed with a laugh. "Ready?"

"Um, no. Sorry, not sorry. I'm busy and can't hang out with you at all today."

"Bullshit." Esther exclaimed as Genevy shushed her while giving her the death glare.

"Shut up, Esther. That's not the point here."

"Then what is the point, Genevy?" Jisung asked with a smug look while Genevy also cast him a death glare.

"For you to never find out so shut the fuck up."

"Chan, you better check your girl." Esther advised with a chuckle. "She got some denial issues that's manifesting into angry moments."

"The fuck. I am not hi-"

Genevy was interrupted by Chan when she felt his hand slipped into hers.

"Alright, Genevy, let's go."

Chan grabbed her hand, pulled her out of her seat, and led her out of the cafeteria. Although she protested and slightly complained, but she really didn't do anything about it and let Chan pulled her along. As for the duo they watched the two in amusement and knew that there was definitely going on between them.

~~~~~~~

"So where are we going? What are we doing?" Genevy asked in annoyance as she reluctantly continued to follow Chan.

She could hear the male chuckle, but he gave her no response. She frowned, but a small smile gaced the corner of her lips.

"You know I could just walk away right now, right?"

"I like to see you try." He countered as he lifted up their held hands for her to see.

"If you let my hand go, then I promise I won't run away again."

"Not uh. I learned my lesson last time."

"Oh c'mon, Chan. Me running away that time wasn't such a big deal and a different story."

"You left me alone with all those people to deal with."

"I thought they were your friends."

"Just because I know a lot of people doesn't mean they're all my friends, Genevy."

"It's not my fault that you're an approachable guy."

"I didn't say it was."

Chan cast her a large grin and Genevy scowled at him, but remained silent while his attention went forward again. Genevy wasn't gonna say anything else and just stay quiet, but it wasn't until she noticed people staring at them while whispering amongst one another. She hated being looked at like that and didn't want them to jump to any ideas about her and Chan. So at first she tried to pry her hand from out of Chan's grip, but he held her hand firmly. She continued to tug her hand from out of his hold until Chan stopped walking and she ran into his back.

"Hey. Why did you stopped?" Genevy suddenly asked and looked up to see Chan with a weird expression. "Um, are you okay?"

"Can I ask you something?" He asked her.

"You already did."

He rolled his eyes with a small smile before his face became serious.

"No, really. Can you answer something for me?"

"Okay. Fine. What is it?"

"Do you hate me?"

"Totally." She answered automatically with an indifferent demeanor without thinking much of it.

Chan's face dimmed as the firm grip he had on Genevy's hand loosen.

"Oh. Really?"

"Sure."

"Was it because of what happened the other night."

"Mmhmm."

It didn't really clicked for Genevy of what Chan was trying to imply and he knew that. So Chan regarded Genevy for a moment before catching the slight movement of her leaning away from him and her eyes averting away from his as well. Genevy glanced back at Chan and noticed the corners of his mouth quirked up.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" She asked more to herself than to him as she tried to back up from the male.

"You do like me, don't you?" Chan stated in a matter-of-fact tone as his signature smile graced his face. "I'm your style, aren't I?"

"I don't have a style, Chan." Genevy countered. "You're totally not my style at all."

"What if I told you that you're my style?"

Genevy shrugged trying to play this whole thing off.

"I dunno what you expect me to do, Chan. Like the other night when you kissed me out of the blue outside my dorm building. How am I supposed to react to that?"

"Well, it would be nice if you didn't always run away and ignore me like you don't like me whenever that topic comes up. That could be a great start to begin with." He answered nonchalantly.

"Well it would be nice if you didn't just kiss me out of the blue and act all cozy and touchy-feeling with me like you like me all the time." She countered a bit fluster.

"But I do like you, Genevy." Chan confessed as he tugged Genevy closer to him with a knowing smile. "And I know that you like me too, but won't admit it."

"So what if I like you, Chan. What of it?" She admitted while gazing at him, but then realized how close they were and leaned away.

"It just means that I'm relieved that the feelings are mutual."

"Okay, cool. That's fine. Is that why you wanted to hang out so that you can find out your my style in the first place?"

"So I am your style."

"Yes. So now answer my question."

"I just really wanted to hang out just the two of us, Genevy."

"Basically you wanted a confession and then go on a date. Wow."

"Yeah, pretty much. But really I just wanted to..." He trailed off.

"Wanted to what?" She probed. "What did you want, Chan?"

"I wanted to show you off now that you're mine."

Before Genevy could questioned what he meant by that, Chan gripped her hand firmly and took off running in another direction while pulling Genevy along with him. Chan laughed loudly as Genevy tried to keep up with his pace, but used her other hand to swing at him every chance she got. She didn't make much of an impact due to the constant motion and she wasn't use to this sort of thing either. Eventually Chan somehow swooped Genevy bridal style into his arms and continued to run across the school's campus to wherever his feet was taking him while shouting out that he was her style. Genevy didn't bother saying anything as she held onto him for dear life. She was gonna get back at him later when they finally stopped moving.

A Crinkle of Fate; Ch8: Always there

“The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.” ― Mark Twain

The month went by quietly, and one morning, a thin coat of ice and snow was covering the grounds of the school. Tonks liked winter, she loved seeing the snow fall through the window, but unfortunately, winter usually meant more visits to the hospital wing for her. Frozen stairs, snow and her two left feet were a bad combo for her and others’ safety. “Don’t be a grumpy log, Snivellus…” James laughed. Despite everyone’s effort to have James and Sirius stop calling him that, the nickname had stuck, but it had lost most of its negative connotation, so Tonks and Lily had simply given up. Snape seemed to have gotten used to it by now and sometimes, only sometimes, he would answer to it. Today however, the Slytherin boy was making his best efforts to ignore the pair of goofy Gryffindors calling at him. Sirius and James have began plotting a epic snowball battle and they were pulling up people into teams. James was stuck with Peter and, surprisingly, Lily, and he was now trying to persuade Snape to join his team. “No...aren’t you all filled up already?” Snape growled irritated “Three and three is fair…” “Yeah, but Sirius has got the advantage. I mean my team is Peter and Evans...not offense.” “None taken, Potter; but maybe I should switch teams so that I hit you with my best snow ball…” Lily said sticking her tongue at her. “I’m convinced your team is in far better position considering that Black has got Nymphadora, in his team…” “For the name of all druids, Severus. Stop calling me that…” They all laugh at the fact that Tonks had taken more offensive the use of her first name over the fact that Snape had insinuated that her clumsiness was a liability to Sirius’s team. “No…” he replied simply. “Oh, you piece of Billywig…” Tonks laughed throwing a snowball at him. Snape raised an eyebrow and dodged it casually. “See? You are good...now stop being an arse, Snivellus and come join us…” “I pass…” James let out a defeated grunt and turned to Sirius who was smirking amused. “Well...we are even, James…” Sirius chuckled “My cousin can barely stand in her feet.” “Fine...Loser gets the candies…” The snowballs war was an utter mess that had Snape rolling his eyes in annoyance, but Tonks could have sworn that the boy had been laughing when no one was watching. Lily had proved James wrong by being extremely good at throwing snowballs. Sirius had barely missed the last few rounds she had thrown at him. Lupin had managed to hit Peter with one of his own and the smaller boy had rolled over the snow in an hysterical wave of laughter. Against Snape’s predictions, Tonks seemed to be handling herself pretty well over the snow, so far she had barely tripped once, and it had actually saved her from a well aimed snowball thrown by James. However, the only reason she had managed to stay on her feet so far was because of Lupin. The boy had stayed close to her and he had managed to prevent her from falling several times earning a few chuckles from the younger girl. “You stop laughing between yourselves and help me out here!” Sirius roared from abouve the laughter. “Sirius is calling…” Tonks laughed. “So it seems…” Lupin nodded “Think you can stay on your feet?” “Ha...I think I can manage. Let’s save my sassy cousins butt, shall we?” Tonks grabbed a bunch of snow and threw it unceremoniously at Lily. The snow hit her right at her back making the ginger girl break into giggles. “Oh, dear me...haha seems that I’ve been taken down…” she laughed. “Sorry, Lily…” Tonks laughed. “Seems like you’re doomed James…” Sirius chanted victorious “Attack!” James fell to the snow laughing as a rain of snowballs fell over him.By the time the attack had ended, James hair was so covered in snow that his dark was in a freezing gray and his cheeks were vividly pink. “Alright, alright…” he panted “I give up. You win…” Sirius seemed satisfied. He helped his friend back on his feet with a large goofy grin; after they had all caught their breaths, the group - Snape included- headed back inside the castle. After spending the whole afternoon in the cold, the comforting warmth from the castle was welcomed in their bodies. With the approaching christmas, most of the students had already left to go home to spend christmas with their families, so the Great Hall was quite empty when the group sat down to have a warm supper together. “Are you going home for christmas, Tonks?” Lily asked. Tonks didn’t reply immediately. She’d have wanted to go home, but with her grandparents dead, the ambient at home wasn’t exactly cheerful and her parents had insisted that she should stay at school and enjoy it with her friends instead. “No, I’ll be staying for the holidays. My parents said that it’d be better for me...considering…” “Well, I’m not going home either...so we can spend christmas together, cous…” Sirius said cheerfully “We aren’t going home either…” “Christmas is a lot better in Hogwarts anyway…” Peter nodded. “What about you Evans?” James asked. “Severus and I are staying, too…” “Oh, then the whole gang can bundle together for our own little christmas party…” Tonks smiles. “That wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’m sure that James and Sirius wouldn’t mind sneaking some food from the kitchens…” Lupin smiled. “Ah, leave it to us…” Sirius smirked “Since we Gryffindors are majority, I say we do it in our tower…” “You are expecting us to enter your house…?” Snape frowned. “Well, I don’t think there’s a problem in that…” James shrugged “Honestly, I think it’d be only us and there’s no rule that says we can’t sneak people from other houses ...is it?” James turned to Lupin waiting for an answer. “What?” Lupin said cluelessly. “Well, you’re the one who knows the school rules by heart, Remus…” “I do not…” Lupin frowned “but as far as I know there’s no rule for that. We could always ask McGonagall though…” “Oh well, professors are always encouraging good relations between houses. Wouldn’t they be happy if we do something together?” James shrugged. “James has a point there…” Sirius approved. Snapes frowned and he was about to say something, but was roughly interrupted by Tonks. “Ah, we should be fine Severus. I’m sure there won’t be a problem, so don’t worry about it.” “Who said I was worried?” “I did…” Tonks replied sticking her tongue at him. “Cute, Nymphadora. Very cute…” “Ha...I knew you thought I was cute…” “It was a sarcasm….” “Lovely…” Lily chuckled at our exchange. “You two really get along well…” “Yes!” “No” The difference in the tone of their voice made that answer hilarious to the group. Snape’s voice was cold, deadpanned and perhaps a little annoyed, while Tonks had been over excited and happy. The contrast was simply too big. “Ah, come on…” Tonks pouted “We do a good team gathering potion ingredients for Slughorn.” “If you consider me doing all the work while you’re goofing around teamwork…” “I just did that once, and it was because we stumbled with Remus…” After their little night adventure harvesting Moonblooms with Slughorn, the friendly potions teacher had invited Tonks to join them in future ventures. A request that the Hufflepuff girl was glad to accept; as a result, she had ended up going ingredient gathering with Snape several times. “I must declare myself guilty…” Lupin smiled “I was just curious to know what you were up to.” “See…?” Tonks stated matter of factly “I’ve been useful the other times. Who would have thought that ingredient gathering could be so fun?” “You make me want to try it myself…” Lupin nodded. “Oh, do. I’m sure Slughorn wouldn’t mind a pair of extra hands…” Snape looked like he wanted to hit himself with the table. He could now say goodbye to his quiet gatherings. “I’ve never gone to any, either…” Lily admitted “It might be fun…” “You won’t enjoy it, Lily.” Snape replied “It’s messy and we often stumble with bugs…” “Ew...bugs…” “Yes, nothing a girl should get tangled with.” Snape shrugged. “Hey...I’m a girl…” “...Oh...Then I should correct myself. Nothing a girl except Nymphadora, should get tangled with...” Tonks glared at him. She picked one of the peas in her plate and threw it at his direction. Lily giggled as the two exchanged poisonous glares. “Is it really that bad, Tonks?” she asked. “Not at all. We haven’t stumbled to any insect so far...except that giant spider, but professor Slughorn took care of it…” “He wouldn’t have needed to, if you hadn’t pulled from its feet…” “Hey, it’s not my problem if acromantula feet look very alike to Fissy grass…” “Sounds thrilling…” Lupin chuckled “you two do have fun doing it, don’t you?” “Yes…” “No…” “Maybe we should all ask Slughorn and next time we can all go into an excursion with him. I could use some extra credits in Potions…” “You know that’s a good idea. I’m so bad at potions…” James snorted. “Sounds scary and restraining…I’ll pass…” Peter said. “Ah, common, Peter…” “At this rate will end up being the “Gathering Club”...” Lupin laughed. “Oh, Slughorn would be thrilled to have another club under his wing…” Sirius approved. Snape couldn’t do anything sigh in defeat. “When is your next “gathering”, cous?” “Eh...Severus?” “Icepoppies will be up for harvest in two days…” Snape replied. “Awesome...guess we can join you for it. We’ll ask Slughorn about it...” “That’s a plan. Now who wants hot cocoa?”

*** After an exciting afternoon, Tonks was ready for some peace and quiet, so she sneaked into the library and sat in her usual spot in the Muggle Literature section. She had finished Whitefang a couple days ago, and was now starting on the Hound of the Baskersvilles. Her love for Muggle novels was a living reflection of her dad’s. “Somehow...I had the feeling that I’d be meeting you here…” Tonks lifted her eyes from the page she’d been reading and smiled. Lupin had taken seat in the chair in front of her. He, too, was holding a book that -to Tonks pleasure- was from the muggle section ,too. “Ah...The Lord of the Rings…” she said resting her chin on her hand “That’s my dad’s favorite. How are you liking it?” “It is pretty amazing…” Lupin said with a smile “ the creatures, the world…” “I remember asking my dad why Hobbits weren’t listed in Fantastic Beast and Where to find them…” she chuckled. “And what did he tell you?” “That Newton Scamander never found his way to middle earth, that’s why…” They laughed. To Tonks it was nice to have someone she could talk about Muggle books beside her father. “My mother had this books in her shelf for ages, but I never thought of picking it up…” “Your mother?” “She’s a muggle…” Lupin explained. Tonks thought that she should have seen that coming. It explained why Lupin was much more familiar with Mugglet topics than Sirius, James and Peter. “Oh, you just didn’t know what you were missing. My dad used to read me that as bed time stories. My mum thought it was way too complicated for a girl my age, but she was speechless when my dad and I began talking in sindarin…” “Sindarin? That’s elvish, right?” “Yup, it is. My dad’s family is Welsh and SIndarin is very similar, so he had no problems to learn it. He ended up teaching me just to annoy my mum. Sometimes we would speak to each other in sindarin and watch my mum’s face as she couldn’t understand a thing…” “Sounds like fun...is it easy? Could you say something?” “Im enjoui cín companui mellon ni” she replied “That goes for, I enjoy your company, friend. I’m not very good at it. My dad is an expert though…” “It is still very impressive. What are you reading?” “Sherlock Holmes…” she replied showing him the book “The Hound of the Baskersvilles. It just reminds me of a canine friends I made here….” Lupin almost choked, but he managed to keep himself calm as he turned to see her. “Canine…?” “Yes. I originally thought he was dog, but it turns out he was a wolf.I named him Mr. Wolfie, but now that I think about it...I’m not sure if it is a he…” “You...named a wolf?” “Well...yeah, he’s friendly and nice. You know...he kind of reminds me of you…” “M-me? Why would he remind you of me?” “You’re both good listeners and caring…” she smiles tilting her head “I hope he’s okay. The weather is getting pretty cold…” “I’m sure he’s fine...he probably has where to stay and besides, his fur will keep him warm.” “Yeah, I suppose. Silly me for worrying when he’s far better prepared than myself. Perks of nature, right?” Lupin smiled faintly. Either she was way too perceptive of her little comparison was a very accurate coincidence; then again, he doubted that his human self was remotely similar to his wolfish self; if only...then he wouldn’t have to worry about hurting anyone at all. Lupin was woken from his thought when something hit him straight in his chest and his lap. A small square chocolate wrapped in a colorful gold and green wrapping rested neatly on his lap. Another of Tonks’s muggle sweets, he guessed. “It has mint filling…” she smiled “I know you like mint...and chocolate…” She wasn’t wrong. He loved mint and chocolate. “And who told you that?” “You always have mint tea amd you carry chocolate in your pockets. Let’s say I did an accurate guess…” Lupin chuckled. She had been paying attention to his tea? Somehow it made him feel a little happy. “Do you always look at other people’s food habits so carefully?” “Only when I like them…” she replied with a wink “Feel honored, Remus. I’m not sharing my dad’s christmas sweets with anyone but you…” “And why do I have this honor?” “Just for being the sweetest boy I’ve ever met…”she chuckled “So why did you come here to read?” “James and Sirius are in the middle of a very noisy gobtstones match, and I just couldn’t focus on my reading between their growls and Peters over excited squeals. How about you? Isn’t the Hufflepuff tower comfy enough to read?” “I just wanted somewhere for myself I guess…” she shrugged “Don’t get me wrong. I feel comfortable in Hufflepuff tower; almost like home. It’s just…” “People?” he whispered. He’d noticed that Tonks certainly had problems to connect to her fellow Hufflepuff students. As a matter of fact, she seemed to have struggles connecting with any other students but them. “Yes, I suppose it is that. I don’t know...I just feel like I somehow don’t fit in with them.” “I don’t see why? You’re a lovely girl…” “You sound like my dad…” she snickers “but truth to be told, I’ve aways been kind of an outcast. I’ve always had a tiny bit in my head that often tells me I don’t belong here, that somehow...I shouldn’t be here. It’s ridiculous, I know…” “No it isn’t…” Lupin replied staring at her face. Sometimes he felt like that, too. He was a werewolf and werewolf weren’t even supposed to learn magic. He should be living among his kind,somewhere dark and isolated; yet, here he was, in Hogwarts with a set of wonderful friends and talking about books with the loveliest girl he’d ever had the fortune to meet. “I think I feel like that at times, too. It’s okay, if you can bond with the other Hufflepuffs. You have us…” “Yes, I do. Even if Severus is so thrilled to remind me that you’re older…” she chuckles “but I’m good. If I had focused on befriending the other Hufflepuff girls, I wouldn’t be hanging out with you, and then I’d never have known what I missed…” Tonks attention seemed to drift away for a while and he saw her toying with a lock of hair under her hood. If he hadn’t had particularly keen view in the dark, he’d probably had missed the faint shade of pink under it. Somehow, he could picture her with a bright pink hair; the color totally suited her and he wondered if she’d ever let him see her without the hood. Well, technically she already had, but he’d been a wolf at the time, so that didn’t count. “Tonks...can I ask you something a little ...er...personal?” “Uh? Eh sure...as long as it isn’t something awkward ,haha….” “Why the hoodie?” Tonks stared at him. She wasn’t mad or annoyed, she was simply considering her answer. “Well...maybe I have antlers or a second face under it that I don’t want you to see…” she smirked and he laughed. “Liar. Lily got a glimpse of it once when you two were shaking off the snow. She said you had pretty burgundy hair. Why hide it?” “Burgundy, huh?” she said absently “guess I was content…” “What?” “Oh, no. Nothing. It’s complicated...my hair isn’t actually...uhm...a very traditional color. I just don’t like to stand out.” Lupin wanted to say that she didn’t need her hair to stand out, but it’d sound wrong and he didn’t mean in it in a rude way. They had more in common that he would have thought, she didn’t want people to know what she was for fear to stand out and rejection, just as much as he didn’t want others to know what he was. But unlike him, her gift was something wonderful. A expression of the purest and most natural magic. People wouldn’t judge her the way they’d judge a werewolf… “Are you scared that you’ll get...mocked?” “What?Oh, no. I couldn’t care less about it. In fact I think I feel some sort of pride about it, but...maybe I’m a little scared.” “About what? It’s just hair…” “Yes, just hair…” “I hope that someday I get the honor to see that mysterious hair of yours. Can I get at least get a hint of how it looks?” “Well…” she smiled “today it is a little lighter and shorter… perhaps…” If Lupin hadn’t known better, he’d have thought the girl was joking; but considering she was a metamorphmagus, she was probably hiding the truth behind a joke. “Let’s make a deal, Remus…” “Oh, I’m all ears…” “The day you tell me a secret, I’ll tell you mine…” Lupin stared at her without knowing what to say. He had a secret; a furry secret that came by every full moon, but he wasn’t sure how he felt about telling her something like that. Despite all her words, she’d never faced a real werewolf and people’s mind were bound to change. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever be ready to tell her that secret. “I...don’t know. I have a secret I guess, but it’s not something I like…” “ It’s okay, Remus...whatever it is, it doesn’t change who you are.” she smiled. Tonks gave him a small smile as she set back in her seat with her book as Lupin stared at her dumbfounded.

*** Christmas morning was as festive as it could ever get. Tonks woke up to find a small tower of presents lying at the feet of her bed and owl jumping over her pillow. She tried to ignore the pinch of grief that hit her chest when she remembered that this year there wouldn’t be a hand knitted jumper from her grandparents and took a deep breath before looking at her presents. The largest box was her parents’, they had bought her a new set robes for her to wear on New Year and she smiled as she sensed the fabric on between her fingers. It was light, delicate but resistant; and it had nice hood. Just like the ones she loved. Lily had gotten her a set of very pretty hair pins that had small pink flowers. It was her subtle way to encourage her to take off her hood, Tonks guessed and she let out a chuckle. She would wear the pins, too bad nobody would see them under the hood. James, Sirius and Peter had bundled up for her present. It seemed like some intent of musical boy that had a wolf dancing sillily in a tutu. A clear reference to her frustrated wish to learn ballet and her obvious preference to wolves. The gift was silly, but she loved it. Even Snape had bought her something. He had gotten her a book Magical Plants and Herbs: a guide for the Ignorant Mind; the first page of the book was scribbled with his neat handwritting: See if you can learn how to properly recognize and harvest them instead of asking me how to do it every five minutes. She stuck her tongue at the message and laughed trying to imagine what would be Snape’s face when he saw her gift. She had sent him a book as well: 100 and 1 ways to defeat grumpiness and be happy. The last present was Lupin’s and as she opened it she couldn’t help but laugh. Her and Lupin’s mind had to be weirdly connected since she opened the box to find a beautiful bookmark made of a pressed hyacinth that sparkle with magical tiny stars. She had gotten him almost the same exact thing, but instead of a hyacinth, his had some pressed Lupines from lively colors. She had found the pun amusing and a bookmark had seemed absolutely fitting. Additional to the bookmark there was a small note and a chocolate bar; she left the chocolate on the table and picked up the note. His writing was neat and careful, just as his owner.

I wasn’t sure what to get you, and Sirius suggestions were a little too out of tone. However it seems that we share passion for un-traditional books and a bookmark seemed propper. I know you hate your name, but I read somewhere that it means “Gift from the nymphs”. There are some pretty flower nymphs called Anthousai, muggles say their hair is made of hyacinths. So i thought the flower was quite fitting!

Merry Christmas! Remus

So they had ended up getting each other some punny presents. He gother something that reminded of nymphs and she gave him a bunch of Lupines. Coincidences could be quite curious, she thought laughing to herself. Tonks stared at the magical bookmark and smiled. With a quick move she put inside her book and left it on the side table as she rushed to get dressed.

The Great Hall was wonderfully decorated with 50 trees illuminated with fairy lights. Each tree had its own theme with colourful garlands, spheres, tinsels and crystals. The teachers were already sitting in their places at the end of the hall. Dumbledore was cheerfully talking to professor McGonagall and Flitwick; Hagrid was laughing loudly at some joke that Professor Sprout had said and Slughorn was telling some sort of story to madam Hooch. As soon as Tonks entered the hall, she saw Lily waving cheerfully at her. The girl was wearing a red sweater with a pleated skirt. Sitting next to her, with his usual dark theme outfit, was Snape. The other four Gryffindor boys were nowhere to be seen. “Wotcher! Merry christmas…” Tonks smiled. “Merry christmas Tonks!” Lily said cheerfully “Oh, Tonks thank so much for the bracelet. It was beautiful!” “Glad to know you liked it! Thank you for the hairpins, Lily.” “I’m expecting to see you use them…” “Oh, I will...one of these days, maybe…” Tonks replied sitting in front of Snape “Thank you for the book, Severus. I hope you liked my present…” “I found the contents of it...irrelevant…” Snape replied annoyed. “Well, you did mock my brains with the book you sent me. I’m sure you’ll find a good use for the book just like I will…” “What did he get you?” Lily asked curiously. “Magical Plants and Herbs: a guide for the ignorant mind.” Tonks shrugged and chuckled “I got him 100 and 1 ways to defeat grumpiness and be happy, so we are even haha…” “You two are the most hilarious thing…” Lily laughed. “What’s the joke? I want to know…” Sirius said dropping himself at the seat right of Tonks “Hey cous…” “Yeah, what are you laughing about?” James asked sitting by Lily’s side with Peter“Oh...apple tarts!” Tonks was about to say something in reply as Lupin sat down in the other empty seat at her left. “Wotcher, Remus…” she said smiling. “Hey, you’re are having fun, huh?” “Oh, we were discussing Tonks and Severus’s christmas exchange…” Lily chuckled “It was hilarious…” “Really?” Sirius said curiously “What did Snivellus, get you cous?” “Oh, a very useful book to remind me how little I know about magical herbs…” Tonks chuckled. “Oh? Potion making tips?” “Nop, basically a handbook of magical plants...for dummies.” Lupin chuckled. “That should come in handy someday…” “Sure, it will…” “And what did you get him?” “A guide book to be less grumpy and more happy…” Tonks smirked. A general laugh filled the table as they ate cheerfully. “So, did you get Lupin a book, too, Tonks?” Lily asked. “Oh, I did think of that, but I ended up getting him something else…” she replied. “Those two…” James chuckled pointing at them “Their minds are connected or something. THey practically gave each other the same thing…” “Really?” “It wasn’t the same…” Lupin chuckled shaking his head “same idea, though…” “What did you get?” “Bookmarks…” Tonks and Lupin replied at the same time. “See what I mean?” James laughed “and not any bookmark...no they had the same kind of bookmark with the same magically dried flower thing and the sparkles…” “ They weren’t the same flower…” Tonks pouted “Mine was a hyacinth…” “And mine was a Lupine...pun intended I reckon?” Lupin added turning to her. “You got me…” “Aw...I think that’s a really cute present…” Lily smiled “And very useful too, considering both of you are avid readers…” “Yeah, that really doesn’t match. I mean...cous, Remus destiles bookworm all over, but you don’t look like a reader…” “Don’t judge a book by its cover. I’m smarter than I look…” Tonks said winking at him. “She’s probably better at school than you, Sirius…” James laughed. “Oh, shut up James…” Tonks smiled. Frankly, she’d been a little uneasy about celebrating Christmas after what happened to her grandparents and she knew her parents had insisted on her staying in Hogwarts for the holidays hoping that the company of other kids would cheer her up. After finishing breakfast, they headed outside. James and Sirius were cheerfully chasing Peter around with a bunch of levitating snowballs while the rest sat down and watched the trio. “Shouldn’t you...I don’t know...stop them?” Tonks said watching- with a bit of pity - how Peter seemed to be suffering from the physical effort. “It’s not like they’d listen to me…” Lupin replied apologetically. “And there I thought they’d listen to your reasoning…” “I think they only listen to my reasoning 50% of the times.”he chuckled “usually when it comes to making up mischief…” “Who would take you for mischievous person, Mr. Good boy…” “Don’t judge a book for its cover…” “Hey...don’t quote me!” “It’s a popular quote. I’m not actually quoting you, Tonks…” he laughed. Tonks snorted. Her look quickly scanned her surroundings. James and Sirius were now trying to pull out Snape into the snow, and Lily was laughing at Snape’s horrified face. “That’s your doing…” Lupin said “And you were right. He might act as he’s annoyed, but he’s actually pleased. He isn’t as bad as we originally thought, I’m glad we gave him a chance. Sirius and James won’t admit it but...I’m sure they’re growing fond of him...” “Ah...Severus is a sweetheart...grumpy and all.” “I reckon you’re right; but I’m afraid we probably would have never known if you hadn’t smacked some sense into us. You’re pretty amazing, you know?” “Ha… if you consider tripping amazing, I guess I am.” There was a moment of pleasant silence, interrupted only by joyful screams and laughs. The sound was comforting and contagious; and it made Tonks feel better. “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor” Lupin said with a smile. “Charles Dickens…”Tonks nodded “I remember that. A Christmas Carol was my grandfather’s favorite Christmas story. He’d read it outloud on Christmas while we were sitting in the living room...” “...I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…” “No, it’s alright. It’s...strange and sad, but I think I’m getting over it...slowly…” “If you need to talk, you know I’m all ears…” “I know that…” she answered punching his arm playfully “and I appreciate it. I really do…” “Do you want to read A Christmas Carol today? I’m sure we can sneak out from these bouffons and hide in the Muggle Section. They’ll never think of searching us there…” “You want to read it?” “In honor to your grandfather’s memory….yes…” Tonks smiled. She didn’t know why, but having Lupin console her gave her a slight sense of deja vú. It was a pleasant familiarity that she couldn’t quite explain, but she decided that she didn’t want break her head over it. As long as he was willing to give it to her, she’d gladly accept it. That’s how friendship worked after all.

[sporadic-writer]

What's in a name?

I made an OC character. Let’s pretend that everything worked out after Endgame. Or like.. things worked out after Civil War and this is before it all went to shit. This is more of an intro mainly. I honestly don’t really know where I’m goin with this. Also, eventually Bucky x OC.

Word count - 1424

Warnings - some swearing I guess, bad first time writing?

Tony walks into the common area of the Avengers tower. Everyone was all lounging about and not paying any mind to anything in particular.

“Alrighty team. We got a couple of visitors coming up in a bit. So look alive! Not that Wade needs your upmost attention, or respect, but they have info we need.”

           “Wait. Wade Wilson? As in that annoying fool Deadpool?” Sam asks. Tony nods in response, “Ha! This will be fun! Is she coming too?”

           “Yes, yes she is. The X-Men still think he needs a babysitter, which isn’t wrong. But she’s respectable and has a lot of experience under her belt. Acts pretty casual for nearly being a century old, but she keeps the connection between us and them.”

           “She’s hot too!” Sam pipes up eagerly to add that in for the group. The others mainly just roll their eyes or scoff while slightly nodding in agreement.

           Steve has a questionable look on his face, “I didn’t know E was nearly 100.”

           “Who is E guys?” Peter Parker meekly askes from the couch next to Bucky, who has the same curious look on his face.

           “Oh, she’s a vet like the Crypt Keepers here,” Tony explains while pointing to Bucky and Steve. “The main difference is that she was never frozen. Oh! And she has powers. Controlling the elements and all that. I see the look on your face, to answer your question; the stuff Hydra and the Nazis did to her during the war kept her alive. But she’s cool about it so don’t get morbid on my ass. Ok?”

           Peter and everyone else nods in understanding. Tony tells them that they will be at the Tower within the hour. Everyone just goes back to doing what they were doing before.

           About 45 minutes later, the elevator dings and two people walk out. The first people see, or hear rather, is the Merc with the Mouth announcing his presence. Followed by a woman who smirks and rolls her eyes.

           “No no! Don’t get up people, especially since some of you are quite old. Wouldn’t want anyone to bust a hip on my behalf. Ow! E don’t hit me! And don’t look at me like that! Fine.. I’ll behave.”

           The silver hair woman catches everyone off guard. Mainly because she kept Wade Wilson in line. But also, because she doesn’t look at day over 25 for someone who is nearly 100 years old. She just scoffs and looks around.

           “No, you physically cannot behave. You’re an asshole who must always be a smart alec. I’m sorry for him, now and anything he will do. I’m E.” She goes to shake hands with those closest to her.

           “What does E stand for?” Peter askes from the back of the group.

           “That is private, personal information. I keep that to myself” She shifts on her feet while continuing to explain. “Everyone takes their guess though, so I assume you will eventually right?” Peter shrugs in agreement.

           “Right, now that we have all met ‘White Storm’ can we get on with the information sharing? I have an Amazing World of Gumball marathon to get back to while getting cuddly with Beast.”

           E laughs out loud and moves toward the conference room. “Jesus I hate you sometimes. But he’s right, we should handle this.” She struts off while a confident sway in her hips, the men in the rooms following without thinking. The women admire her presence and chuckle at the men acting like boys trailing behind her.

           About an hour or so later, they all head out of the conference room knowing all information everyone needs to know. Wade made a joke and rolled out after the others invited you to hang out for a bit.

           “He has a good heart. It’s just covered in a hard, thick, intense… um obnoxious jackass coating. With a nice dipshit shine.” E looks at the others in the room as they understand, sort of, about her friend’s nature.

           “He’s fine. Most of us have gotten used to it. The bonus is just that whenever he visits, you usually follow not far behind.” Sam smiles and flirts with the woman beside him on the couch. Wanda rolls her eyes at his attempt, already knowing she won’t go for it at this time.

           Little did everyone know, was that 2 super soldiers were getting drinks and watching this whole thing ensue from the center island.

           “Steve, shouldn’t we pull him back?” He surprised himself at the slight hint of jealousy he felt when he had not even had a full conversation with the silver haired woman.

           “No, I know E. She’s fine. This is not Sam’s first attempt at making a pass at her. Ha, you should have seen him the New Year’s Eve before Ultron. He got so drunk we had to send him to bed in order to leave her alone. She almost lit him on fire.” As he says this with amused admiration, Bucky’s eyes get wide with both shock and being impressed.

           “Careful Sam. Haha now don’t get bummed. You made a pass and I turned it down. No reason we can’t still be friendly,” she says while smirking at the man. “Now, if you excuse me. I am going to go get something to drink.”

           “Did you quote a Marilyn Monroe movie just there?” Bucky asks as she heads to the cupboard to get a glass.

           “Indeed I did. She’s one of my favorites. I met her in a New York City diner bathroom actually. She’s a delight. Now I just wish someone not from our generation would understand that reference.”

           E and Steve settled into idle chat. Bucky was next to them observing the woman for the first real time. He noticed how traits of every decade flowed through her. Grace and sophistication from the 20s through the 50s was noticeable. Her upbringing was clearly not from this time. Spunky charm and free-flowing fun from the 60s and 70s was prevalent in her smile and demeanor. Then, her openness and bright eyes for adventure surely gotten from the 80s to now was also at large. Not only were her eyes bright, but they were purple as well. They were like two gemstones sparkling out. Yet, behind them, he could see the hardships she’s faced. He could see it because it was the same he sees in his own eyes.

           “I’ve never seen purple eyes before.” He blurts out without thinking. She smiles while Rhodes mutters a “smooth” behind him while digging in the fridge.

           “Yeah, side effect from the testing done on me during the war,” she notes his regretful face for bringing up an intense topic. “No no it is completely fine! I see my look as an upside to all that happened.”

           “If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get over all of that messed up stuff that happened to you? It took me a long time to get control of the big guy.” Bruce looks timid, but immensely curious in asking.

           “For the most part … a huge bag of weed. Picked that trick up in the 60s”

           Peter nearly coughs to death from the couch, while Tony makes a comment of this being why he likes her. While Bruce simply takes in the response he was not expecting. Bucky continued to be surprised by her. E explained how it keeps her calm or helps her sleep, adding that it also adds to a good time. Steve’s slight look of disapproval was gone when she shoved his shoulder and told him to loosen up. Everyone fell into a fun rhythm. Eventually though, E had to leave. She stated that there was work to do with the X-Men and she needed to head back. Before leaving, Tony invited her to the event being held next weekend. She eagerly said yes before giving a genuine smile goodbye and heading toward the elevator.

           Nat looked at Tony with a questioning face. “We are holding an event next weekend?”

           “Yes,” he simply responded. “That way we see more of her, and I get to please the big wigs on Capitol Hill by helping their image by donating to some charities. Just a simple cocktail party with a small little auction. No gala or anything like that.”

           They all accepted it was happening, while Bucky was just nervous and excited to see her again. Completely unaware of the future that was in store for him and the team later to come.

Sorry for the bad closing. I’ll continue more if people like this. Also, if ya got a title let me know! I’m blanking on one. Thanks for reading and giving it a shot!

We’re Best Friends? | Ideas [Part 2.2] | Shawn Mendes

A/N: Hey!!!! How you all doing? So here’s part 2.2!! Constructive criticism is appreciated!!! Also huge thank you for all the notes like they’re not as big as others but it just makes so happy haha thank you xx also huge thanks to my girly @gentlemanmendes​ for giving me feedback! Love ya boo pps this is not edited 

Word Count: 2.4 K

You walk up to your building and here am I pacing around whether I should follow you or not. We were kissing a couple of minutes ago and it’s the one thing I never thought the two us would be doing together. It’s the one thing I’m wondering why we never did it before.

I loved the way your lips feel against mine. It’s intoxicating and it’s not because of the amount of alcohol we’ve drank. You’re a different kind of drunk. It’s the type that makes me feel so light but alive at the same time; It’s the type that won’t give me a hangover and regret it in the morning. it’s the type that makes me want more of it.

So I’m gonna get more of it.

I’m in the elevator going up to your apartment and I’m nervous and excited and scared. So many feelings that I can’t seem to explain, all I know right know is that I want you. Even just for the night.

Walking towards your door feels like an eternity probably because I’m unsure of what will happen when you open the door. I know you’re not asleep because you usually eat when you’re drunk before going to sleep. It takes me a while to knock because I start questioning myself.

Am I about to throw away 18 years of friendship down the drain?

Yes. Yes I am.

So I knock and it takes a while for you to open; it makes me so anxious and it’s probably the universe telling me that we’re better off as we are. We don’t need this complication.

But the universe disagrees cause you open the door. You’re looking at me but you aren’t surprised; it’s like you knew I was going to knock, it feels like you wanted me to. We just stare at each other, we don’t joke around like we did downstairs. It’s intense right now and the only thing I can say is “Fuck it”

Then we’re back to kissing. Then it leads to other things.

Such great things.

☆☆☆

Knock Knock

“You got a new neighbor? What happened to Ms. Loewe? She was so sweet! She always made me lemon squares?” Shawn asks as I open the door. I chuckle leaving him to close the door to my apartment. “Her kids just took her on a cruise, that’s just her helper that’s going to be staying until she comes back.”

He follows me to my bedroom and lies down on my bed. “You know we should go on a cruise! That would be fun!” He says casually while hugging my stuff toy.

“No way man. Titanic fucked up those things for me.” I say.

“Come on! If ever that does happen to us, I’ll make sure we’ll both fit in the plank unlike Rose… selfish bitch.” Shawn murmurs the last part.

“Rose was not selfish and besides that plank was too light to hold both of them! They would both end up dying” I argue with Shawn. Titanic was such a debate between us. It’s one of the things we could never agree on ever since we watched it for the first time. I remember him crying when Jack died and it was such a funny and cute thing to see him do. But we don’t talk about that because in his mind it never happened. Sure buddy.

“Whatever! You suck!” Shawn closes his eyes and hugs my stuffed penguin even tighter. “Are you done dressing up yet? I might pass out on your bed any minute. Geoff is waiting for us at the bar and I wanna get wasted already.” I roll my eyes at him even if he can’t see. I grab one of my pillows and hit him on the head with it. “Yes loser. I’m done. Let’s get lit!”

“Shawn? Shawn?!” Is he snoring? Oh my god the fucker went to sleep.

☆☆☆

“Hey Shawny” the girls from the bar coo at Shawn. He blushes then greets the girls “Hi guys”.

“You know if things doesn’t work out you could always become Magic Mike 2.0” I tease him. He rolls his eyes at me. That night will always be my favorite. I remember him getting so drunk and deciding to get on the bar with the girls. Shawn got so much money because women were biding on him.

We walk into the bar, spotting out group of friends immediately.

“Oi lovebirds! Over here!” Geoff shouts at us. He always give us that nickname thinking it’s cute. It just annoys the fuck out of me and Shawn.

“Can you be any louder?” Shawn comments as we walk over to table they were occupying. We find our seats, me beside Shawn and Geoff seated in front of me and the rest of our friends at the end of the table.

“So shall we get started?” Geoff suggests and we all cheer on.

A couple of hours later and we were buzzed. It was a very chill night just enjoying each others company and talking about different things. Enjoying my bottomless mojitos fuck yes!

“I’m gonna go get a refill” Shawn declares. He gets my glass and I thank him knowing he’s going to get refill of my drink. He smiles at me then heads out to the bar.

“So, is Shawn ever gonna ask you out on a date?” Geoff asks me. I look at him like he’s crazy  “Why would he ask me out on date?” I ask curiously. It’s never been a though in my mind; me and Shawn dating? So weird.

“Okay. I have this theory that you two are like the movie When Harry Met Sally. Best friends who are just gonna one day get together because it was something that would eventually happen” he states. “Oh wow! You’ve been analyzing our relationship? What the fuck man?” I amused at how long Geoff has been analyzing our relationship.

“Oh so it’s a relationship? Not a friendship?” Geoff questions and I glare at him, “You know what I mean! Honestly, where is all this coming from? You’re an idiot.”

“I’m being serious here! Did you not see how he just got your glass and you didn’t even question it? He knows when and what drink to get you. Best friends don’t that! Boyfriends do!” He declares.

“And you my friend have drank way too much! You’re drunk Geoff! This is dumb!” I reply back. Shawn has known me my entire life of course he knows what drink I like. Right?

“Okay fine! Don’t say I didn’t warn you but also don’t forget to thank me when you two end up together!” He points at me and I just roll my eyes.

“Who’s gonna end up together?” I see Shawn handing me my drink and I’m glad that he hasn’t heard our ridiculous conversation.

“Harry and Sally from When Harry Met Sally” Geoff answers and I’m so close to stepping— no stomping on his feet. “You know that movie, right Shawn? he asks. this little shit. “Oh yeah man! That movie is a classic” Shawn states.

“Yeah a classic move about best friends” Geoff says. Shawn looks at him with a weird expression, “Uh yeah that’s the movie?”

“A movie about Harry and Sally who happen to be best friends who happen to fall in love” I know Geoff is trying to make a point here with Shawn that we somehow are the real life version of the movie but Shawn’s not bright. He won’t get it.

“Dude yeah I know! I’ve seen the movie. How much have you had to drink?”

See what I mean. Idiot.

“Damn it. This is useless.” Geoff whispers and I smirk at him knowing his point was a ridiculous one. “Cheers to that dude!” I clink my glass with his; a triumphant smile on my face while I kick him on the shin and a weirded out Shawn looking at the both of us.

“Weirdos”

☆☆☆

“Okay, I gotta bounce. Do you guys want to hitch a ride with me? ” Geoff asks. I look over to Shawn and he shakes his head. “Nah man, we’re good. We’re gonna stay for a bit. Gotta milk the bottomless mojitos you know?” I raise my glass to him and smirk.

“Whatever you alcoholic. You kids have fun!” He looks at me and raises his eyebrows with a smirk. I reply with a dirty finger knowing full what he’s trying to imply.

“Tata lovebirds!” then Geoff leaves.

“What was that about?” Shawn asks. “Nothing. You know how Geoff is, always fucking around” I don’t tell Shawn about we were talking about earlier that night because it’s pointless and it’s just probably gonna weird him out. I love my friendship with Shawn. It’s one of the things that’s been so constant in my life and I don’t plan on fucking that up in the near the future.  “What do you wanna do now?

Shawn shrugs. “I dunno. What do you wanna do?

I raise my eyebrows at him. “I dunno. What do you wanna do?”

“I dunno. What do you want to do?” He humors me

“Alright! Enough! You’re so annoying!!” grabbing my glass and drinking it’s contents. “Oh! Before I forget, my cousin wants to know if you’re gonna make it to her wedding which of course you will because I’m forcing you to go! Save me from my grandma!” I plead with him

“Hey I’m in just as long as it’s an open bar and I get to get as much cake as I want. Speaking of, do you happen to know what flavor is your cousins wedding cake?” He asks.

“It’s red velvet” I inform him

“Can I steal the whole cake?”

“Dude”

We talk about countless things and reminisce about the old days and it’s great! We talk about embarrassing moments from the past like that one time Shawn played with glue and it got to his hair so they had to shave it all off or that one time I punched some girl that was making fun of Shawn’s lion king backpack. That was such a cool backpack! We laugh until the point I have tears in my eyes.

The conversation get more daring. We ask each other questions, personal questions. Worst sex? Best sex? Worst date? Best date?

We’ve drunk a lot over the night, our bodies close with Shawn’s arm resting around my chair and me leaning into him. It’s always so calming whenever we have talks like this. It’s always so comfortable to have someone that just gets it and just don’t try to make a move on you. Someone who you can talk to for hours and hours without having to expect anything in return and I’m so glad to have Shawn for that. So grateful.

“Okay. How about this, who do see yourself marrying? It can be anybody.” I ask him. I’m curious to know what type of girl he sees himself with down the road and I wonder if I’ll get along with her or she’s going to hate me. Also slightly curious if I’m going to be the best man at his wedding. “I promise I won’t judge even if you say Betty White or someone older” I joke

Shawn laughs then thinks and he shrugs “I have one but maybe it’s best to keep it to myself” he tells me.

“No fair! You have to tell me. You can’t just say you found one and not tell me. That’s cruel!

“Nah, it’s a secret that only I should keep” Shawn shakes his head. He’s so fucking red from the alcohol intake and it’s honestly the cutest thing.

“Come on! Are you shy of who you picked? Is it really that bad? I humour him.

He shrugs “I’m not telling you Blake. It’s weird.” he states

I’m annoyed he won’t tell me. We tell each other everything not matter how small it is, and I really want to find out so I reach for him and cover his eyes with both of my palms— “There ya go now you can just tell me and pretend that I’m not here and it’s just you. Now tell me bitch” I slightly threatned.

He sighs, “You”

“What?”

“You!” He says it again

I’m having a hard time processing it so I ask him again. “What?” What?!

“You, Blake! You! Do you not know your own name?” He grabs my hands and pulls it away from his eyes but he never let’s go of my hands; just holds it with his.

I’m surprised with his answer, I never thought I would cross his mind in that way. We’re staring at each other and it gets too much for me so I do what I do best; I avoid it and start joking “Huh, I guess we know what cake we’lll be getting on our wedding day then; not to mention we would probably be at the open bar the entire time”

He chuckles while still holding my hands in his caressing them with his thumbs.”Yeah we’ll probably make Geoff our wedding singer” he looks at our hands and lets go of it.

The air is different. It’s never been different and I’m suddenly nervous. He’s way too close to me that I never really noticed before. He has this look in his eyes that I’m afraid it’s true to what I’m thinking right now.

“I should probably go home. It’s late” I tell him. I don’t know what else to do. For some strange reason, I can’t seem to talk to him without feeling conscious.

He nods “I’ll walk you home! Don’t want anybody making moves on my future wife” He jokes. I know he’s trying to make things lighter and it does help. Sort of. “Oh wow, you’re such a possessive future husband” I joke back.

“I gotta question how long do you think we’ll last before one of us asks for a divorce?”

“Let’s see” Shawn says

We’re walking in the the empty sidewalks laughing and joking around until we reach my building. “You don’t want to stay for the night? I ask him.

“Nah, I should get back home to my place. I need to do some stuff in the morning.” He tells me

“Alrighty then. Night hoe”

“Night bitch”

We smile then staring at each other again and we look like fucking idiots having a stare off contest in front of my building. Shawn looks at me then down to my lips then moves a little closer to me.

I know where this is going. Holy fuck I know where this is going.

Do I like where this is going?

KPOP SONGS! Part 2/?

So I thought I’d make a list of the songs in my „kpop“ playlist and write a little about them because I’m bored. These are supposed to be chronological, but after looking at the list I’m not so sure about it also because I love to buy music in bulks. 

PT.1

THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS/EXPERIENCES TAKE IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT AND DON’T KILL ME! 

Also write me if you wanna chat about it :D 

ZUTTER - GD & T.O.P:

 This song is a little scary tbh, apart from the badass vibes

I always loved T.O.P’s deep ass voice and with GD’s high pitched rap it’s just perfect

The MV is funny, creepy and a bit fucked up but what did we expect honestly :D

They rhyme aLOT in this song which makes it really interesting to listen to

made me addicted to the GD & T.O.P combination 

…..ZUTTER!

THE BADDEST FEMALE - CL:

 It took me a while to understand that this isn’t a solo version of „I’m the best“

It’s the queen saying she’s a bad bitch so you know it’s a banger

As almost all CL songs this is good to let off steam and regain your badass level after someone pissed you off

The MV is a sexual awakening on it’s own and performances of that song are also definitely worth a watch

„Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good you know?“

Perfect to practice bitch drops and feel yourself to

Burning Up (Fire) - BTS:

 So I don’t really listen a lot to it but I still like it

Has all kinds of badass vibes and I like the soft breaks in-between

RM’s part is by far my favourite his deep voice is so satisfying

The MV is also really cool

You can see from previous songs I had a badass song phase (I still have this phase, I love badass songs) where I only took badass kpop songs seriously

Growl - EXO: 

Okay, so I sometimes forget about this song haha

A good song that screams SM to be honest which I always thought was not that much the case with other EXO songs

The dance to this is really satisfying to watch and was probably the reason I bought this song

It shows EXO’s excellent vocals, has a nice feel and is easy to listen to 

Quite an early song too

I love that you could potentially dance really hard to this but still is very soft

Instantly recognisable and also a kpop classic I would say

GOOD BOY - GD & Taeyang: 

 Is this a kink? This is a kink right?

An awesome song i have bopped to a million times

I really love the „pretty/good boy“ trope and who is better for that then our bad boys™️ GD and Taeyang?

Their voices sound a bit alike and I sometimes had trouble differencing them….whoops

The dance is so so good and the MV is such an accurate representation of these two freaks

God I just love them and miss them so much

I am the best (JP. Ver) - 2ne1:

Welcome to another round of Aki isn’t capable of differencing Japanese and Korean lol

I must say I prefer this version though, I recently bought the korean version and it’s just not the same I got so used to the english parts lol 

This is also a classic, bow to the queens of badass girl group songs!

The MV made me fall in love with CL and the gang

„It’s 2 in the morning our bodies getting freaky, the beats bumping loud but this boy keeps talking! I can’t really hear him but I think he’s saying he loves me? Put his number on this paper but i throw it like frisbee, huh?“

I C O N I C this song raised me, fed me, dressed me and gave me the kick in the butt I needed.

Oh my god! 

BOOMBAYAH - BLACKPINK:

 Why of course after discovering 2ne1 BP wasn’t far behind

Recently showed this MV to a non kpop friend of mine and she drooled over all of them soooo, you can do that

Loved this song the second it started and love dancing violently to it

I now, btw, also own the whole album but it took me a bit to get into them (I was in girl group denial, don’t be like me show them girls some love!)

OPPA!

Being only four really makes it possible for all of them to shine, the vocals are clean and pretty but raspy enough to fit the concept and Jennie and Lisas raps are perfect as always

The beat is easy as is the whole song, doesn’t get annoying and is just a bop.  

Fantastic Baby - BIGBANG:

Nananananananana wow, fantastic baby!

Well well well if it isn’t history right there

Watch the MV, listen to the song! It’s mandatory to know this I’m sorry I don’t make the rules

Danceable, walkable just all in all go crazy(-able)

Boomshakalaka! 

A bit poppy so maybe not for everyone as it sounds a lot like stuff that is randomly on the radio

A dance song that probably was never intended to be more than that. Typically YG, a bit flatter than Bang Bang Bang

I’m repeating myself but you know I heard it’s also something non kpop people enjoy (Basically show them all of BIGBANG, lol)

Ice cream cake - Red Velvet:

Oh boy! My first Red Velvet song that I have because the refrain was stuck in my head and I wanted to know what it was

There’s way more RV later on but for now I think it was the only song

As I said I was in denial of girl groups that didn’t have a badass concept which was soooo dumb!

I love the song, it’s cute and easy to listen to

I love RV’s kinda cute-creepy concept and with the music box in the background it feeds into my liking very easily

I have moved on from it though after discovering other songs from them so I don’t listen to it as often

„I scream, you scream, gimme that, gimme that ice cream!“

Sherlock (Clue + Note) - SHINee:

I have known this song for years! Back when my best friend was into kpop and told me all about SHINee I looked into it, Youtube gave me this song and I instantly clicked. Didn’t like it clicked away and didn’t touch it for 5 years

Well now I love it and can’t stop dancing when it’s on

„SHINees back….“

The MV is confusing but god they’re all so cute in it! Taemin looks so adorable with long hair!

I have watched the dance practice about 100x times and you should too! (jk)

„Tonight, SHINee’s in da house! So give it up for SHINee!“

And as much as I love SHINee’s vocal squad and they’re great in this, Key and Minho really do it for me in this song

The song lives from the dance and the performance and makes it 10x better

It’s also good for just listening though but not really calm and casual so be prepared to break out into sudden song

„Oh I’m curious, yeah!“ (Is it noticeable that I’m listening to it while I write? probably not.)

Breaking News - SHINee:

 And my struggle with japanese songs continues haha

„Come on break down the walls!“

I really like this song though, especially the refrain it’s so much fun

It’s also really danceable (as I think every SHINee song is, I mean have you seen them dance?)

Partly really dramatic (slay Onew slay), partly badass rapping

I mean it’s SHINee it’s fun bright and has a dance rhythm what more could you possibly want?

Ring Ding Dong - SHINee:

 Yeah, i doubt you don’t know this one

Coincidently the first kpop MV I watched after deciding to dive deeper down the rabbit hole and well would you know it…now we’re here

It’s the one about the broken doorbell! Break it down!

This song and dance is Legendary!

Also a fun song that isn’t to be taken too seriously

The MV is kinda dramatic for this song lol

Good to listen to, has a nice beat and melody

There are these songs that every idol can dance to, this is one of them (In the list of “songs every idol can dance to” you’d find a LOT of SHINee btw)

„Ringdingdongringdindongringdigidingdigiding“

SHAKE THAT BRASS - AMBER (feat. Taeyon):

Amber…oh Amber. I love her really a whole lot and as I saw the MV I just had to have this song!

It’s a super fun and dancey song with (as the title suggests) a brassy sound

Much like Woof Woof I really enjoy this song bc of the MV, 

Amber is rapping and being the goofball she is ;)

BUT! As much as I like that song and think she deserves all the solo stuff she can get I like her new stuff more because it’s more „hers“. I really enjoy her singing as well.

And confession of the month: I don’t like f(x)’s sound so I’m happy she does solo stuff

She’s such an inspiration with her unique style and attitude (sighs in very gay)

 Lucifer - SHINee:

 I LOVE this song! OMG!

The MV is kinda uneventful but the DANCE PRACTICE!

Oh boy! Well first off Lee Taemin is very distracting in it but you have to see the dance to believe it! That’s what they perform with! On a regular basis!

The sound is very electric and theres a quiet electric melody running through the whole of it that kinda sounds like some alarm clocks lol

Edgy™️

You should absolutely watch performances! Jonghyuns high note is not portrayed well in the recorded version, boy has breath forever!

Apart from the vocals slaying absolutely every note the rap parts can’t be discarded by any means

It all just fits so perfectly

Oh and of course for a song of it’s time it’s just a little bit...nonsensical (especially the english parts lol: Loverholic, robotronic. what?)

Hero - MONSTA X:

 I’m thinking of a helicopter landing platform, pulled up shirts and a scared Wonho 

The dance to this song is…well do yourself a favour if you like abs and boys

Apart from the drool worthy performance, the song is super cool! Kinda chill, but still powerful and damn rapline went off!

This song really made them known more and it’s for a good reason

The sound in this is what is „typically“ MX for long time (Till up until Jealousy I’d say)

„I can be your hero, I can be your man!“

Sometimes a bit repetitive but what song isn’t lol?

Also still is in the „we all dress awful and don’t know what to do with our hands“ phase but that passes soon

Lead to many wonderful reality shows that makes it easy for new fans to get to know them better (Their group dynamic never changes they all just mature a bit it’s really nice to see.)

Also yes, Jooheon is kinda scary in this but I swear he a cutie
