#Yanfei's super easy to write

[tea-twords]

Yanfei and Heizou thing I'm writing on a whim

Got the idea from @tartartartarsauce so thank you so much for it

Pairing: Yanfei and Shikanoin Heizou

Lee: Heizou

Ler: Yanfei

---------------------------------------------

"Ah, Yanfei, I think that's it over there."

"Hm? Oh, I see it now."

The Inazuman Detective and Liyuean (what's the word help) Legal advisor had taken a case from an ore-merchant, who had been attacked by treasure hoarders on his way from the Chasm to Liyue

They were walking around in Lisha, sticking to the path but also wandering around it in order to find the camp that the merchant reported seeing as well.

Heizou never failed to impress Yanfei. Even from when Aether and Amber (they are a duo in my book shut up) first introduced him to the team a month ago, he grabbed her attention when Aether mentioned his being the "best detective in Inazuma". And he's surely lived up to that title.

They discovered they work exceptionally well with eachother, both in mirroring professions and on the battlefield, which they both tend to want to avoid.

"Yeah, down there by that lake. It doesn't look like anybody's there though." Heizou said, pointing to where he was talking about.

"Judging by the lack of supplies and the footprints in the sand, they probably left not too long ago." She observed.

"Exactly my thoughts."

They stepped down by the lake to where the now-abandoned camp was.

"Heizou, look by those crates for anything they could have left behind." She pointed. "I'll look by these."

"Don't have to tell me twice..."

It wasn't long before Heizou discovered something very interesting in one of the crates, and began to tell Yanfei about it.

"Hey Yanfei, come over here for a sec?"

The half-adeptus stood up from where she was crouching and walked over to where Heizou was standing.

He looked over to her, slightly glad that they made a discovery so quickly, Burt some part of him, just...wasn't ready? He knew he was always efficient at what he did, but for some reason...he wanted this to last just a little longer."

"...Yanfei...I think my intuition may be telling me something."

Now normally, Yanfei wouldn't take a statement like this too seriously. But after knowing Heizou for a while, one tends to realize that his intuition really does tend to be correct.

"Really? What's it saying?"

"Hmmm..." he pretended to be lost in thought for a minute, with Yanfei waiting patiently.

This will be fun~

"...Heizou? You alright there?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just need to think it through for a minute..."

"Oh, sure. Take your time."

Mgh... Thought Heizou as he pretended to contemplate his ideas. He's known Yanfei for a bit, too. She's pretty patient...to get her to crack, he'd probably have to be a biiiit more obvious...

"Ah! I've got it!"

"What are you thinking?" She asked, a little excited."

"Welllllll..."

"Huh?"

"Ehhh, it's probably not too important. Lets just ke-"

"Woah woah woah."

Aaaand he's got her.

"You can just drag it out like and and then dismiss it with an "It's not important" (mocking Heizou voice-wise) line and expect me to just accept it and move on! You gotta tell me!"

"Do I really have to, though...?" He said, knowing damn well what he's doing, looking up at the sky all innocent-like, with that slight-smug little smirk on his face.

"Oh, now you've done it." Yanfei said, a half hearted angry face put on as she marched towards him, finally giving him the reaction he so desired out of her.

"Ooh, what's Ms. Lawyer gonna do to m-WAH-!" He suddenly shrieked, "not expecting" Yanfei to latch her hands on his waist and start squeezing rapidly.

"Mwah? Oh, (in a professional-mocking voice) Mr. Shikanoin, this is a ✨professional relationship✨, we certainly can't have any of that nonsense in this."

"Nohohoho, at leheheast sahahave that for Aehether and Ahahamber!"

"Eh, fair point, I'll give you that one." Said Yanfei playing along, but not letting up on the side squeezes.

"Buhuhuhut whyyyyy?" Heizou whined, knowing why but wanting to instigate her further for the fun of it, despite his tickly situation as a result.

"Why? Well, you won't tell me what your expert intuition is telling you to help US, and you're just being a brat! So how about it, gonna tell me what you were gonna say now?" Threatened Yanfei, adding a quick claw to the ribs before switching back to the torturous side squeezes.

"EEE-!" Heizou let his knees give out after that, and he was now laying on his back with Yanfei looming over him.

"Ohover my dead bohohody"

"Oh really? Well I guess I'll just have to kill you then."

"WaitwAITWAIT NO-" He started, only for it to be drowned out in his cackles as that evil advisor formed her hands into claws and dug in at his rib cage.

"YANFEHEHEHEHEI!"

"Yes?"

"WHYYYHYHYHY???"

"You know why." She said with almost the same teasing tone he had earlier, showing no mercy to the detective.

Heizou was a mess right now. He was flailing around, curling his legs up only for them to be kicked out again, repeatedly switching between arching and curling his spine, and trying to do anything he can to escape the tickles, except actually push her or just tell her to stop.

"You know, if you're so ticklish here, it's not the best idea to go wearing a shirt with it exposed, Mr Detective."

"Y-YOHOUHURE ONE TO TAHAHALK!" He managed to get out, only poking fun at her even further.

Yanfei stopped to think for a moment. Not stopped her attack, just her thought process. He did make another point... She was ticklish too, and she wasn't gonna act like she wasn't. Her worst spot is quite literally her tummy, which is basically always exposed. But then again, she's not as deathly ticklish as Heizou, and it's not like he could do much in his circumstance.

"Oh no, YOURE one to talk. Sure, I'm ticklish too, I'll admit that. But you, you're just asking for it arent you?" She said, causing him to wince between his loud cackles.

Because she was completely right.

Deciding he's had enough of this spot, Yanfei stopped her hands but kept them just where they are, giving him a break, but still giving him an anticipation attack as well.

"Well? Ready yet?"

"N...Never!" He said stubbornly. He was a little weakened from the tickling, but knew he could go for more.

"I thought so." Yanfei said with that tone, only lightly tracing his sides now.

"Well what do you think, Detective? Up..." she trailed towards his underarms, causing him to squeeze his arms tight to his torso in an attempt to protect that spot.

"Or should we go down?" And she trailed her fingers back down to his tummy area/hips.

"T-thahats just cruel..."

"Well? I'm waiting."

"..."

"Don't make me choose now."

"Alright alrihight! Fine...umm..."

"Too late."

"HEY-!"

Yanfei decided to go down this time, knowing that Heizou's underarms are his worst spot. She didn't want to go for the kill just yet.

"Yanfehehei come onnn!"

"Oh, you wanted up?"

"NONO-No, no, I-I don't..."

"So you did want down."

"No-I...UGH, man alihihive..."

Yanfei just grinned at his cornered state, as she picked up the pace and scribbled over his stomach.

"You're so mehehehean!!" Heizou whined yet again, curling up as much as he could. His stomach wasn't his worst spot, but it was definitely enough to get him giggling, especially with the protective fabric covering him. Until...

"You know, I bet I could just-"

And Yanfei just slipped her hands im his shirt from the sides, as easy as can be.

"NOOOHOHO! Yahahahnfehehehiiii! Ihihits so bahahahad!"

"Do you want me to stop?" She asked, not so much in a teasing manner anymore, but as a genuine question in case he would be tiring out now.

Heizou thought for a few seconds, on one hand, he wanted to say "yes", this was pure torture! On the other hand...he didn't exactly want it to stop. This is kind of what he'd been secretly hoping for this entire time, but he can't tell her that! He trusts her and everything, enough to tell him more about his past and a bit about the friend he used to have...but not this! Definitely not this!

Thankfully, Yanfei asked a follow up question so he didn't have to answer the first one.

"Oh, why did I have you here again?"

"W-well, I've got a bit of an intuition you want me to share, but I don't th-"

"Ah, right. So? Gonna talk now?"

"..."

"Hmm?"

"I told you...over my dead body..." He said, giving her his most "I dare you" grin yet.

That sealed his fate.

"Well, I warned you..." She said, her teasing tone back as she began to slowwwly trail her fingers back up his sides..."

"...Wait, No-"

"..."

"Yanfei, come on now...."

"..."

He squeezed his arms tighter to his torso again in an effort to protect his worst spot once again.

"You wouldn't..."

Closer...

"You wouldn't!"

Closerrrr...

"Y-yanfei, don't you dare!"

Almosttttt...

And then she stopped.

Right there.

So close.

But didn't move her hands

"GAH! Oh my godddd YANFEI!! How could you! At least move it!! Pleaseeee!!!" He whined for the last time.

"Over your dead body, huh?"

"Yanfei no-d-don't you dAHAHAHARE!"

And the famed detective of the tenryou (however you spell) commission squealed his heart out the moment his attacker's fingertips touched down on the extremely sensitive area, being thrown into hysterics.

"EHAHAHAHA-IHIHI CAHAHNT BELIEHEHIHIVE YOUHUHUHU!" Laughed the poor boy, once again being thrown into both a flailing state and a curling state.

Yanfei knew that he wouldn't be able to go on for much longer, because as much energy as this guy has, again he can only take so much. So after a short while, she finally stopped, leaving him breathless on the ground."

"Hah...whew..." Heizou rolled over on his side.

"Over your dead body? How bout now, detective?" She said, with a smile on her face again.

"Ughhhh, fineeeee...My intuition said that...um...that crate over there might have something important to it..." He said. This wasn't his intuition, it was just an observation he made a while earlier, before provoking Yanfei into killing him.

"And you really thought that wouldn't be of any use? The things full of noctilucous jade! The treasure hoarders really forgot to take a crate..." Said Yanfei, shaking her head at both Heizou and the Treasure Hoarders they were pursuing.

"It took your "superb intuition" to make that discovery, huh? You could have just like...looked there."

Yeah, he cannot tell her about this little secret.

"...Hey Heizou, are you okay? I didn't go too far, right?"

"No, no, I'm good, don't worry."

She just smiled at that.

"I know."

"Hm?"

"It doesn't take a detective to figure it out, Heizou." She said with a smirk.

Oh fuck.

"Figure what out? That they were smuggling Jade? That they got a little stupid with it?" He said, figuring if he acted like this was about the case it would direct her attention elsewhere.

"That you were totally asking for it."

"..."

fuuuck

"That wasn't even about the case, was it? My guess is you just got bored and wanted to act like a little brat, but then when I actually started to tickle you, you were all "noooo yanfeiiii" but don't think I didn't notice that you hadn't said "stop" once, cause you know if you did I would have."

fuuuuuuuuuuck

"Well, there's always the possibility I just don't think of it..." He made up an excuse. A poor one, at that.

"We both know that doesn't happen. And that's not even the only thing, I heard you wince when I said you were asking for it, and You didn't even answer when I asked if you wanted me to stop. And~..."

"Alright, alright! I get it..."

Yanfei just giggled at his defeated state.

"Don't worry about it though, I'm not judging you. But also, do you think we should start following the footprints? Cause we uh...do still have a case to solve-"

"Oh, right! Yeah, that was a time waster, sorry bout that." Said Heizou, choosing not to actually confirm the fact and just accept and try to ignore it.

"Eh, well, I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time. I did uncover the fact that you like being t-"

"I get it!"

"Hehe..."

Yanfei began scanning the ground for the footprints, standing by the lake for any that would have sunk in the banks.

"Oh, hey, look here." Heizou motioned, pointing his finger in the water at something.

"Wha-HEY!"

Yanfei was cut off, for she fell for his extra little trick and got a few droplets of lake water flicked to her face.

"You little..." She looked at him, her face slightly red. Not from anger, just from being flustered. This guy really just got destroyed within an inch of his life, and he's back to being a little shit already?

"Come on, focus!"

"Hehehe~" Laughed Heizou, his usual "innocent" grin back.

Yanfei stood up and sighed, now beginning to follow the tracks of the footprints.

"...When we're done with this case, you are SO going to get it."

"I'd like to see you try, Miss Advisor."

Notes: OH MY FUCKIGN GOD I MISSED WRITING FICS

I'm so sorry if it's cringe or terrible characterization or anything because most of this was written at 1 in the morning

And this is just incredibly self indulgent

And special thanks to @tartartartarsauce and @rattypattyy for greatly enabling me, even if indirectly

[catcze]

(remember to rest yourself and drink water and eat food so dont starve and pretty please rest like dont do this req immediately pls rest dont overwork yourself like ganyu-) aye imma req the stronK wing req with other chatacters - hmm albedo, zhongli and traveller ? (aether ? your choice really !!)

-pretty boi anon ♥️ (im so proud of myself rn thats my first anon thing-)

Reblogs are greatly appreciated !! ⠀

「 FEAT : 」Zhongli, Albedo x Male Reader

「 ### : 」 Fluff !!

「 CWS : 」 Reader has wings??? 

Aw omg thanks so much pretty boi 💞🥺  and really??! omg im so honored to be the first blog with you as their anon!! I can totally do your request! Good choice btw, i absolutely love the geo characters 💞

Note from future Catte: deleted Aether’s part, since i’m no longer going to be writing for him, and I wouldn’t want people to think that i still do!

Kaeya, Diluc & Childe ver.

⠀ 「 ZHONGLI 」

Sticking w/ the narrative that you’re an adeptus / illuminated beast, it makes sense that you’d be familiar with Zhongli! Considering how you stick around humans like Ganyu or Yanfei, it shouldn’t be too unusual to see you around Liyue harbor with the archon-turned-funeral consultant.

Zhongli being Zhongli, he probably is super learned when it comes to maintaining your wings. Every now and then, he’ll have you sit on a stool in front of him while he stands behind you, preening your wings and correcting any misaligned feathers. He probably goes on tangents and talks about anything while he does this lmao.

He would accompany you when you buy oils to care for your wings! Although he probably wouldn’t be able to pay for it for you, he’d still be able to help you choose the best ones for your feathers.

He doesn’t treat you any differently, since he isn’t surprised or shocked that you have wings (since, you know, he was / is Rex Lapis) so he’d treat you as normally as he would anyone else.

Ik this can sound anticlimactic, but in your experience, when you go to places or meet people who have never seen a winged being not trying to do any harm, they’re usually so surprised, and may distance themselves from you in caution, or they may be too chummy with you in curiosity.

Zhongli treating your wings as if they were just a regular part of you –nothing to make a fuss about, nothing to gawk over– is such a breath of fresh air.

If he has an errand to run in the wild to procure things for funerals, you usually come with him. 

One of the reasons why he invites you is because you typically make the gathering easier, and a little less risky to his mortal form. After all, with your wings, he doesn’t have to risk his own wellbeing scaling cliffs for qinxin flowers or violet grass.

Your wings and your expert control makes it all too easy for you to fly him and yourself up to wherever he needs to go, and despite the strength of each flap of your wings, you’re careful to not blow away and damage any of the flora he needs.

But a big big big reason why he’d he’d want you around is because you’re always so enthusiastic to listen to his stories, and you always remember the details he tells you, too. Its not often that this happens–– sometimes some Liyue women would try to converse with him in hopes of catching his interest, but they typically gave up whenever he would begin his long-winded explainations.

That’s why he was pleasantly surprised when he met you (who was not of the female populus!!! How rare!1!1) who was so happy to listen to him. Funny enough, it was this that actually made him interested in you. Zhongli is very glad for your presence, too, and he never fails to bring you along with him.

⠀ 「 ALBEDO 」

Albedo would be so curious about your wings!

When he first meets you, he’s cordial and polite ofc, but its so obvious that he can’t keep his eyes off your wings. You’re probably the first adeptus / illuminated beast he’s ever met.

He probably won’t ask you if you’re willing to let him run some tests on you right off the bat tho, since he’s worried you might say no. When you two are more acquainted, then he’ll ask!

He’s a little shy and hesitant too, not wanting to intimidate you with the words ‘test’ or ‘experiments.’ Listen to his voice line where he asks the traveller if he can do some research on Paimon–– same vibe. 

He’ll be so excited if you accept, even if he doesn’t show i! DOing experiments and gathering data on you and your wings becomes his top priority, and he schedules it with you ASAP.

He’s sure to bring you somewhere where you wont be bothered and where you can fully stretch out your wings. Maybe dragonspine, or somewhere near Wolvendom.

The experiments and data Albedo wants to gather isn’t insane–– he mostly wants to know things like your maximum speed, you initial velocity, the shape of your wings + how they affect your flight, the strength behind your wings, how well you can control them and the like.

At one point when you take a small break, you offer to carry him! he accepts ofc because this can be a learning experience, but he really really enjoys it! He’s so enamored by the brids-eye view of the landscape that only you (and he, right now) could see. He’ll probably ask you to fly him up again, just so that he could sketch it!

Speaking of, he’d ask you if its okay to sketch your wings, too, so he can get an idea of how they work. If you’re alright with it, he’ll ask you to remove your shirt so he can see where the wings connect to your back. 

Albedo spends so much time sketching and asking you to pose your wings in different ways, so he can see the extent of their flexibility. He probably touches them, if you’re down, to see what the textures and hardness of the feathers are like. 

Honestly, the experience and looking back at the sketches really highlights to him how astounding your form was.

He’ll probably ask if you have any similarities in terms of behaviour with male birds of other species, and it’s up to you to discuss the similarities and differences with him.

While you two are up in Dragonspine, you get concerned about him getting cold, since you’re easily warmed by your personal cocoon of feathers, so you bring Albedo into your chest and into the blanket of your wings to warm him up. Both of you enjoy it immensely.

genshin speech and debate headcannons

genshin characters if they took up speech and debate (like nerds <3.)

a/n: this week is the national tournament for both speech and debate! while i myself am not going (i wish LMAO) i do have a couple of friends going, and one who placed in under the top 100 lincoln douglas debaters in the country! i was mainly inspired by a friend of mine saying that yanfei and hu tao would make a good debate duo and kinda went from there. anyways!! enjoy :)

yanfei + hu tao; 

POLICY POLICY POLICY duo and i’m basing this off the real life teams i know

policy debate is like an hour and a half long debate, where there’s one yearly topic and. like every debate, there is the positive side, or the negative side. 

tbh i find policy debate the most boring kind of debate

BUT these two would make it so much fun

let’s talk roles! i see yanfei as the one to be the first speaker (1AC), simply bc she knows so much.

she’s also canonly good at writing (as you tell with her written contracts), so i feel like the 1AC is hers

hu tao would be 2AC, or the second speech

this is because she’s would be quick on her feet often

the second speaker is someone who can come up with solutions on the fly, and articulate them out excellently

as for building a case to support the topic, i just know these two come up with the most frustrating, yet viable solutions

hu tao would loveeeeee running kritiks (which are basically arguments saying “we shouldn’t even talk about this resolution because ABC”)

i also think that her disadvantages (basically reasons to vote in negation, if they were on the negative side of the argument) would almost always end with extinction impact

a little debate lesson! in a disadvantage against the affirmative’s plan, there are three parts. one, uniqueness, or what’s currently going on. two, the link, or what will awful thing will change from what’s happening currently, if the positive team’s plan passes. and three, the impact, or the terrible, overall outcome that is the consequence of the affirmative team’s plan. 

an extinction impact is basically saying “if we institute this plan, we’re literally all going to die!!’ 

(the bane of every policy debater’s existence, especially if you’re the one that has to argue against it. i’ve only debated policy twice, and it’s BULLSHIT but whatever not time to complain) 

i’m split between seeing them as spreaders (the portmanteau for speed and reading), where they read so fast to get so much information out, of if they have morals and communicate efficiently

!! MATCHING SUITS !! they wear matching suits to every tourney !! they also probably have super cute pins on the lapel of their suit coats 

they’ve probs gone to nationals every year, they’re that good 

they’d dominate-- since policy debate is a 2v2, you really have to have good chemistry with your partner in order to be successful, and they do !!

they’d also probably be the fun debate captains, who have to take the younger ones under their wing

all in all, fun team! revered around the country, and for good reason!

albedo; 

POETRY SPEAKER

poetry is a type of speech that is spoken alone, so i think it’s quite fitting for him 

in poetry, you memorize your poem, but you can look down at this tiny, three ring binder that contains your poem 

aforementioned binder probably has a million stickers that klee put on there

unfortunately, he probably can’t bring that binder to competitions, so he at least has one sticker on the inside of his formal binder 

he probably dolls up very nicely, and has a dark blue suit with a button from klee’s collection

sobs klee and albedo’s found family dynamic 

probably picks more traditional poems, simply because works with a formal beat are easier to memorize 

he’s definitely the kind of person to have amazing audience skills

his tone of voice would match the tone of the poem, and the crowd can instantly recognize that

(wish that was a skill i had </3)

albedo has a natural soft, yet compelling voice that makes him so easy to listen to 

sigh,, he’d probably be the nicest kind of mentor to study under

if he’s not in his rounds, he’s probably watching yours and taking notes!

it will always read “excellent job. i look forward for your next performance. :)” followed by a few small doodles and critiques 

sigh,,,, to have a hot as fuck debater friend who gave good notes,,,, that’s the dream

(if mark from oratory is reading this HMU YOU’RE SO HOT AND YOU GIVE GREAT NOTES)

jean; 

CONGRESS DEBATER

in congress debate, there are usually 10-30-ish debaters in one room for one, really, really, really, long session where various bills are presented before the senators or the debaters

kinda like. yknow. congress

every congress debate has a presiding officer, aka the person who makes sure nothing goes to shit

anyways! that person would be jean

she would probably be a great author of bills, in which they’re though provoking, insightful, and probably pretty solid grounds for whatever side she’s agreeing with

her questioning skills,,, WOOOOO

in congress, you have a three minute speech and a minute of questioning afterwards, in which anyone who is on the opposite side of you ask one question abt your speech

her questions actually strike the soul—she can read people really easily and can point out flaws in their speeches

presiding officers have gavels, and i bet that klee placed a sticker on the handle lol

her notes >>> !! probably so organized, i struggle keeping up in congress, but she writes so fast and her notes are even pretty

she runs a tight ship—she hits her gavel when a speech is up and she’s not too happy when someone goes over

she probably wears the suit-skirt combo and is literally so cute

she’s the type of mentor to be gentle yet strict; but really, she just wants you to do your best <3

me and who when

zhongli;

four time national champion in both high school and college, premier distinction debater, and a double diamond coach.

that’s zhongli for you!

in my state, there’s certain judges and coaches that are highly venerated (my own coach is one of them; he was a policy debate state champ and he still has his tourney trophies on his desk ^_^ so cool!! )

so take that, and up the fame by tenfold!

he’s an extemporaneous speaker for sure!

maybe my bias is leaking thru

anyways, extemp is a speech that relates to current national and international affairs

you have 30 minutes (and whatever information you gather beforehand) to create a seven minute speech. memorized.

scary as shit and i literally compete in jt LMFAO

zhongli, however, is a wise, wise old man (despite being like. a freshman in high school)

he has an uncanny ability to run his mouth in a smooth, understandable way

judges would note his speaking style—comfortable in a way that speaks as if he were delivering the speech to one person

it’s the kind of voice that you can fall asleep to, but so interesting that you can’t help but want to know more

yeah a wild claim. zhongli?? turn foreign policy into something interesting??? more likely than you think!

he started as a prodigy, and almost instantly he was shoved into the spotlight.

he’d go onto to be a four-time national champion, and probably manage to do the same in whatever Ivy League college he goes to

i see zhongli then becoming a big shot businessman after his schooling; a good speaker makes an even better businessman!

buttttt, i think that he comes back to coach at some prestigious academy for fun

he’s the kind of coach that’s gentle and firm, he really really really wants the best for his kids okay!!

his gaze is piercing. he’ll look you in the eyes and make you question your entire speech career

he also flutters between his kids’ events, taking detailed notes about their rounds

“you stuttered on contention one.”

“your back was slouched, your eyes were on your paper. for goodness’ sake, prepare better.”

his best compliment? “you had my attention the entire round.”

FISKRKALRKFK IF SOMEONE WROTE THAT ON MY BALLOT I WOULD SWOON

speaking of ballots! ballots are basically the sheet that you judge someone’s debate or speech on.

his ballots are not biased, whether or not he’s heard good things about either debater

oh to get an actually good ballot,,, havent had a detailed ballot since fall of freshman year </3

he wears a three piece suit to every tournament. doesn’t matter if it’s june eland the tournament is in a desert, he will literally keep his suit on

he probably takes his kids on cross-country tourneys too!! he’s loaded!!

a huge donor to debate and speech organizations, he knows just how much speaking skills changed his own life, and he wants to make sure that everyone else is able to get that same opportunity

wholesome guy when it comes to this stuff :,)

bonus thoughts;

CHILDE IS THE LITTLE SHIT WHO YELLS IN THE AUDIENCE DURING FINALS

ganyu is the club manager who would doordashes lunch for the team

klee often tries speaking speeches in front of her big brother, but they’re usually little 6 year old ramblings

xingqiu is a storyteller speaker end of story and i’m not expanding on it

diluc and kaeya used to be a public forum duo (a 2v2 debate), but after crepus’ death, they became differently involved in speech and debate, if at all

barbara often sneaks into the auditorium to watch her sister compete :,(

venti would be a poetry or storyteller,,, not sure which one

the teams all have 11PM fast food runs after state tourneys, all talking about their day and everything in between :,)
