really hate the trend in many progressive circles where people diminish the suffering certain groups face by adding a caveat of "but dont forget youre not the intended target," or insist certain groups shouldnt even discuss their problems with "how dare you make this about yourself, others groups have it worse."
neither awareness, support, discussions, nor oppression are a competition or in limited supply. there is no reason to ignore or silence others to get more of the spotlight. you will only be aiding in others suffering by doing so.
#taking over a PARTICULAR conversation is another thing#but that comes down to completely changing the topic mid-convo and ignoring any mentions of the original topic is shitty in general#adding a comment/tag on a post is NOT the same thing. no matter how frustrating it may be.#your original post/additions are STILL THERE AND BEING SPREAD AROUND#you can ask people to focus just on your original topic sure#but PLEASE stop acting like people making an offhand comment/tag ON THEIR OWN BLOG that is NOT negating anything on your post#is the same as ignoring/silencing you/trying to talk over you/making it about them#THEYRE LITERALLY STILL SPREADING YOUR WORDS#they dont know that others may have done the same thing! their groups are not a fucking monolith trying to speak over you!#theyre just a bunch of random people that felt like making a related point on your post ON THEIR OWN BLOG#but aside from that THIS SHIT IS EVEN MORE INFURIATING WHEN IT HAPPENS ON PEOPLES POST ABOUT THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES#AND PEOPLE COME ONTO THE POST SAYING THEY DONT HAVE IT AS BAD OR SHOULDNT BE MAKING THESE SITUATIONS ABOUT THEM#LIKE HELLO ??????????????#IT DRIVES ME INSANE. STOP TRYING TO SILENCE EACH OTHER!!!!#WERE NOT FIGHTING FOR CONTROL FOR A MIC ON THE STAGE!!!! WE CAN ALL SPEAK FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!#also not the same thing but will note that yeah when someones like ''hehe this is so me but for [different gender]�� or w/e IS pretty stupid#like okay yeah they probably should just go ahead n make their own post#but also its them talking on their own blog and you can just block them if youre bothered enough with their interactions on your posts#or just like. ask them to make their own post or maybe ask them to delete their addition/reblog or w/e#and not be a rude piece of shit to a stranger who just happened to get on your nerves from not knowing your personal faux pas#its not that big of a deal. stop excusing and normalizing being rude to people. cmon#people stop treating annoyances as wrongdoings deserving of outlash challenge

clingy!boyfriend!Chris Sturniolo headcanons because my delusions stay undefeated:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. can’t fall asleep unless he’s touching you chris deadass can’t sleep unless he’s physically attached to you in some way. doesn’t matter if it’s his arm around your waist or his leg tangled with yours—he needs contact. you roll over just once and he’s immediately like:
“where you goin’? come back. i need you for survival purposes.” bonus points if he mumbles stuff in his sleep like “mine” or “don’t leave” with his face smushed into your shoulder 😭
2. will text you 47 times if you don’t respond for like an hour you go quiet for 63 minutes and chris goes into full meltdown mode.
“hello??” “did you join a cult” “this is my joker origin story.” “just realized i could’ve called but now it’s about the principle” and then when you finally answer, he hits you with the classic: “i wasn’t worried. just checking in. as a responsible bf. no further questions.”
3. randomly shows up at your door with snacks and a playlist chris is a menace in the cutest way. he’ll randomly show up at your house with boba, hot cheetos, a crumpled bag of gummy worms, and a playlist titled something like
“ur the sun and also probably a little unhinged (but i like it)” and he’ll just say “missed ur face. got bored. needed to share this song that made me think of your eyebrows.” 💀💀💀
4. inserts himself into all your facetime calls you’re on facetime with your best friend and chris will appear in the background like:
“hey tell them about the goose i almost fought” or worse—he just sits next to you the whole call, mouthing your words and silently judging your convos like it’s a reality show and when you’re like “babe pls go” he says “i could leave. but what if i stay and be annoying instead?”
5. beefs with your pet bc he’s jealous of the attention chris absolutely has fake beef with your dog/cat bc they get more snuggles than he does
“why is milo allowed to lay on your chest and i’m not?” “he’s literally a dog.” “and i’m literally your boyfriend???” cue him trying to wedge himself in next to the pet like “move over bro, she was mine first.”

IT COUPLE JUJU WATKINS X INFLUENCER READER
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: You and juju make an appearance at the Super Bowl
A/n: this has to be one of my fav fics to write y'all, not everything is accurate to real life so don't bite dont messenger, credits to @naeemagales who gave me the idea for this and happy readings readers hope you enjoy this your feedbacks are always appreciated 💕.
Tumblr media
You loved being a full-time influencer, from building a platform on all your socials to getting really hot deals, getting invited on brand trips, and having big sponsors.
So imagine your surprise when your talent agency called you to let you know that @Lifestyle would pay an all expenses trip.
For you to go to the Super Bowl, and all you had to do was flim a full lent vlog and make short forms videos, the best part wasn't it being it fully paid but you getting to invite a plus one.
This was a lifetime opportunity for you, because an all paid trips, you get to invite someone, watch both Kendrick and Sza perform at the Super Bowl half time, and get to have a good time. You loved the amazing opportunities your job brings for you.
You already had a plus one in mind, your girlfriend juju, but it only depends if she was available.
Being a full-time college athlete was no joke. Practice how many times in a week, then game days on top of that, her brands endorsement.
But trying to ask her wouldn't hurt as long as it doesn't kill you.
Later that night when you guys were on facetime, you made it your mission to ask her.
"You're thinking a lot."you heard her say from the phone.
"I'm not just got a few things on my mind." You responded.
"Which is?". She straight up asked you looking a little more serious.
"I don't know". You told her with an exaggerated sigh at the end
"Baby, you and I both know whatever you're thinking about won't stop until you do something about it so for the second time what's wrong?". She told you with a softer tone.
"Okay, so I was wondering if you would like to go too the super bowl with me." You said to her on the phone really fast hoping she would understand you speaking in 2x speed.
"I didn't get that mind repeating yourself for me again mhm". Ju told, looking directly at the cameras.
You slowly took your time before asking her again.
"Would you Judea skies watkins like to go to the Super Bowl with me?".
"Using my full name is crazy, but I would love to."
"Wait, really? You actually have the time to go. " You told her trying to make sure.
"Baby, I just said yes." She said all whiny.
"Okay just making sure". You told her.
"So that's what made you feel nervous." She said
"Yea this convo done if you're trying to make fun of me". You said rolling your eyes at her.
"I'm just joking".
"You got no jokes Judea".
"Broo."
"Judeaaaa". You said to annoy her if she continued calling you her bro
"Alright, I see how it's." She told you.
Your trip to the Super Bowl was amazing from vlogging what it was like. Ju offering to be your camera women if she can't be in it who says she couldn't flim it.
You filmed so much content in one day, half-time show with Kendrick, and Sza was one to remember
Meeting other creators like you.
But your favorite moment was when the cameras spotted both you and juju in the stands with the caption as It couple. the crowd around you guys started cheering after noticing both raising starts together in the stands.
It had both you and juju cheesing like crazy.
"It couple I kinda like the sound of that". She whispered into your ears once the attention was back on the game.
"Same as a nice ring to it huh". You told her
"How about I put a ring on your finger?". She told you.
"That's music to my ears, but let's not rush things now." You told her.
You even got to see your girlfriend on the Nike ad with many talented players to. This Super Bowl was definitely a night to remember.

୨୧ GETTING SHIPPED WITH ANOTHER IDOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𓇼ㅤ 𓈒ㅤ 삶 ㅤ───ㅤ "   WARNINGS; “ fluff, jealousy, mention of other idols, fem!reader (idk), established relationship,
Making use of my millions of accounts lol, I honestly forgot this account existed but now I’m here :P
Tumblr media
MANON
Girly was trying to control her temper the moment a ship edit popped up on her fyp. She opened the comment and typed out. “They’re not together y’all!! They’re probably just friends, who you should be suspecting is manon and yn. I mean don’t they look so cute together?” A sly smirk crept up to her face as she felt proud of herself for typing that on her secret account. More pride shook her when more manyn edits began to pop up.
SOPHIA
Was probably trying her best to seem nonchalant and easy about it the moment a video pops up on her fyp but the her sulky expressions says it all. “Hey yn since when did this happen?” She called out for you rushing to meet you in the kitchen. “Huh what’s that?” You asked trying to get a glimpse of what she was showing on her phone. “Oh ah! It’s my most recent photoshoot why?” You asked trying to stifle in your laughter from looking at her face. “Well I don’t like it! Now people think you and wonyoung have something together” she whined. “Don’t worry baby, it’s just a photoshoot, if you want I could beg my manger to fix one with you soon?” “Omg yes yes yes, I’d love that” her silky expressions immediately vanished and was now replaced with a more cheerful one.
DANIELA
They look so good together “Hmm what an odd thing to say” Daniela watched with a frown as fan gushed about because of the minimum amount of interaction between you and newjeans minji. Meanwhile the both of you are practically flirting on camera and no one seemed to bait an eye. “Do you like her?” Daniela randomly asked out of the blue. “Umm no, she’s just a friend of mine” you answered shrugging off her possessive glare. “Okay that’s nice, don’t let it exceed friendship or else….” She paused with a playful threatening gaze.
LARA
Lara sat on the rolling chair, reading some Wattpad stories like fans had suggested when suddenly a story title caught her eye. She clicked on it and read the title with a straight face. “Y’all whoever wrote this title alone needs to arrive at the asylum right now” she spoke, her lips forming into a think line after. It was like her gaze was solely focused on whatever was on the screen. “I’m gonna report this” she said with a frown. Fans would guess that “oh maybe it was something inappropriate” but in reality it was a ship book of you and a male Kpop idol.
MEGAN
Megan was trying to hold her fake smile the more a fan gushed about how you and lesserafim eunchae would match together. The fan talked about how there was a certain chemistry between you two. Megan had heard enough and decided to cut the convo short. “Do you know who she looks amazing with?” Megan asked a fake glint of excitement in her eyes. “Who?!” The fan asked also feeling a thrill of excitement. “Me”. The fan squealed “oh ye— what?”
YOONCHAE
It all started when she woke up to check her social media and the first thing that pops up was a ship edit of you and newjeans haerin, with the editor adding a soft love song which didn’t help at all. The fans comments even made it worse with comments like; my haeyn 🥹, gosh how much I love seeing them interact on stage it’s so cute. The urge to reply and say “you’re just being delusional she’s with me!!”. Throughout the day you noticed yoonchae acting all sulky and pouty which lead you to confront her about what had happened.

# “YOUR LIKE A PIECE OF ART!” ── .✦ ( batboys with a s/o who has a lot of tattoos. )
a/n: this was a request by anon actually (here) anyways omg a lot of you guys are sending nationality requests like Irish!reader, Moroccan!reader, Canadian!reader and etc omgg anyways yesterday I took a small break and now I’m back!!! So yeahh tags: (batboys x a s/o who has a lot of tattoos)
© dollishmehrayan — ( all rights reserved to me. These works cannot be reposted, translated, or modified. Thank you for understanding dollies! )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DICK GRAYSON ── .✦
Absolutely adores your tattoos. He finds them mesmerizing and often asks about the stories behind them.
"Wait, this one—what does it mean? And this one? You gotta explain it all to me!" He’s so genuinely interested it’s adorable.
Loves tracing his fingers over them absentmindedly. It’s his favorite way to relax, especially after a long patrol.
If you’re open to it, he’d love to get matching tattoos with you. Something small and meaningful, like a star or an acrobat silhouette.
He’s always hyping you up. “God, you look so cool! How did I even land you?”
JASON TODD ── .✦
Finds your tattoos ridiculously attractive. You’re like a walking piece of art, and he can’t stop staring.
“Another one? Damn, I’m gonna run out of compliments if you keep adding masterpieces to your body.”
Appreciates the rebellious vibe that tattoos give, but loves that yours are deeply personal too.
If you designed any of them yourself, he’s in awe. “Wait—you drew this? Babe, you’re a genius.”
He won’t admit it, but he’s been low-key considering getting a tattoo himself—something to match or complement yours.
Loves running his hand over them, especially while you're cuddling. He’d act cool about it, but he’s secretly obsessed.
TIM DRAKE ── .✦
At first, he might be a little shy about it—he’s not used to tattoos or the culture surrounding them.
"So… do they hurt? Like, a lot? Or just a bit?" He’s curious but hesitant to admit he’s interested.
After you explain the meanings and the artistry behind them, he gains a deep respect for your tattoos.
He’d geek out over the symbolism if any of them are literary or historical references.
Secretly thinks you’re the coolest person ever. Your tattoos add a boldness and confidence that he’s drawn to.
If you ever wanted to get another one, Tim would offer to help you research the best tattoo artists.
DAMIAN WAYNE ── .✦
He’s intrigued but tries to act indifferent. “Tattoos are superficial… but I suppose these are aesthetically pleasing.”
Secretly, he’s fascinated. He’ll examine your tattoos closely and ask about their meanings when he thinks you’re not paying too much attention.
If any of your tattoos are animals or nature-related, he’s deeply impressed. “A bunny? You’ve chosen well.”
Will jokingly criticize any tattoo he doesn’t like, but you know he’s not serious. He secretly admires all of them.
If you tell him you’re getting another one, he might suggest an animal that resonates with your personality. "Perhaps a panther would suit you."
Low-key, he’d be jealous if anyone else commented on how cool your tattoos are. He doesn’t like sharing your attention.
BRUCE WAYNE ── .✦
At first, he’d be a bit taken aback—it’s not something he’s used to, and he’s very traditional.
But once he understands that your tattoos have personal meaning, he respects your choices completely.
“You’re a work of art. Literally and figuratively.” He means it sincerely, even if it’s cheesy.
He might not be entirely comfortable showing off your tattoos in formal settings (Wayne galas and such), but he would never ask you to hide them. Instead, he would encourage you to flaunt them confidently.
Secretly, he’s fascinated by the process and would love to watch you get a tattoo one day, just to understand it better.
If anyone makes a rude comment about your tattoos, Bruce would shut them down instantly with his trademark icy glare.
RANDOM CONVOS WITH THEM THAT WOULD HAPPEN ── .✦
with dick
Dick: “So, if I get your name tattooed, does that mean I own your heart forever?”
You: “Only if it’s spelled right.”
With jason
Jason: “If you ever get a tattoo of my name, make it small. I don’t want to be embarrassed when you dump me.”
You: “you think I’ll dump you randomly?”
jason: “who wouldn’t, I’m a high maintenance guy.”
With tim
Tim: He accidentally zones out during a conversation because he’s staring at a detailed tattoo and trying to figure out the design.
With damian
Damian: “Tt, if I were to get a tattoo, it would be far more impressive than yours.” You: “Damian, I literally have a dragon sleeve.”
With bruce
Bruce: “Do all of these mean something? Or did you just think they looked… fashionable?”
You: “Some are meaningful, but yeah, Bruce. Some just look cool

Change My Mind [8]
Tumblr media
Pairing: BTS x reader
SUMMARY: As a make-up artist, you were expected to glamorize your clients with brushes and products that cost a week-worth of food, not to befriend them outside of work, let alone have them save you from dates yet here you are five years later as one of their closest confidants.
Being a stylist of the world's biggest boyband is no easy feat, someone is doing flips, someone can't stay still and one's asleep but its fine, you can work around their chaos but then one day, you find out they're all your soulmates, a whole different can of chaos you don't think you can handle.
Tags: Soulmates AU, Friends to Lovers, Eventual Smut, Not Beta Read, Slow Build, Polyamory, Attempts at Humor
Words: 7.3k

edit 02/06/25: added a convo with Reader's friends' at the end
<<Prev || Masterlist || Next>>
________
When Seokjin came to consciousness, it wasn’t to the ear-shattering blares of Jungkook’s alarms a few doors down nor was it to someone shaking him awake.
For the first time in his life, he was instead woken up by the feeling of someone’s warm touch tracing the sharpness of his jaw.
His eyes flew open, heart jackhammering in his chest at the thought of someone climbing into his bed while he was at his most vulnerable state only to calm down at the sight of you looking down at him with the softest look in your eyes and the breath in his lungs was punched out. 
Seokjin is not a poetic guy, that was Namjoon and Yoongi, but if he had a morsel of their creative minds, he would’ve waxed anthologies upon anthologies just to describe how your gaze, overflowing with the sweetness of love, had made his mind stutter and his heart skip a beat. He’d say how it can definitely make a man win a war all by himself and the heat of your love to keep him warm during the winters.
Realization came to him like a sudden flash of thunder, his brain becoming more aware of the haziness and the peculiarity of it all.
Your gaze, usually warm and friendly, is mellowed out and overflowing with the sweet, stickiness of love as if you’re looking at him with all the love that exists in the world. His fingers trembled when it reached out to touch your cheeks, scared that once he touched this image, this hallucination of his would fizzle out and he’d wake up with more longing than he’s already feeling.
This is a dream, it must be. You’ve never looked at him like that.
Yet. His mind whispered.
He was dreaming but the warmth of your cheeks and the softness of your skin brushing against his fingers felt so real it made him shiver.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Li-like what?”
He didn’t know if this dream was a nightmare or not, hearing your voice and feeling your fingers caressing his skin so softly . It was cruel how gentle you were handling him, how the heat of your hands when it cupped his cheeks had sent electric shocks throughout his body, stirring every part of him awake. 
Then before the question could even leave his lips, you leaned down to press your lips on his and his brain short-circuits.
Your lips are as perfect as the rest of you, it slotted in between his so perfectly it ached. He felt breathless from the brief contact, stomach ticklish as his mind repeated the same sensations and memories over and over again. Suddenly, the cumulation of longing and withheld desires surfaces and his fingers twitch at where they laid on either side of your face.
It’s just a dream, you can do everything you ever wanted. A darker, greedier voice at the back of his head whispered and he almost let himself follow its whims.
“There you go again.” You said and his brewing thoughts faded into the background. “Stop looking so… sad.”
“I look… sad?”
“Like a kicked puppy,” You laughed, hand coming up to his cheeks and the smell of your sweet lotion invaded his senses. “I’m here with you now, stop looking so defeated.”
You kissed him again but this time it was in the spot in between his eyebrows and the tip of his nose. Seokjin didn’t know how greedy he could be, never knew how hungry he was until he felt your lips pressing against his skin. 
It’s just a dream , the logical part of his brain whispered to him but it still felt wrong .
He shouldn’t be doing this, he should be better than this. He needs to wake up before he completely lose himself in his own imagination.
This dream was toying with the already frayed thread holding his flimsily gathered self-control. It's like dangling a game in front of a predator who’s been starved for years. It’s so tempting to just lean in and kiss you, to pull you down and let his hands roam down the curves of your body.
“Jinnie.”
“Yes?”
“Stop holding back.” He takes a deep shuddering breath as his brain catches up on your words. “I want this. I want you.”
snip!
Suddenly overcome with the molten heat of desire lighting his skin, he surged up to capture your lips with his, hands cradling and pulling your face to him. With a yelp, you tip over to fall on top of him. Seokjin waited for you to push him away, to fight against his hold, to stand and walk away from him with a disgusted look on your face but none of those happened. Instead, your hands cradled his face and brought him closer for a kiss as breathtaking as you make him everyday.
Seokjin didn’t care that he was dreaming, his body burned with the intense desire he had tampered down for so long and if he didn't kiss you now he might actually combust.
How long has he longed to feel the heat of your skin against his? How long had he stirred restlessly at night wondering how comforting it would be to feel your weight on top of him and your body pressing against him? He couldn’t count how many nights had gone where he’d wake up sweaty, body electric from the rampant and unsatisfied need running in his veins, wishing he could expel the carnal hunger rooted deeply within him with you.
And he had tried, god knows how he tried to find someone else, to move on like you had done but his skin would crawl from their touch and his stomach would churn whenever they looked at him. Even staring at someone longer than what is appropriate felt like committing the biggest sin.
You had ruined him for any other woman without even doing much and he didn't know whether he should be thankful or not.
Seokjin doesn’t dream often but when he does, it is never about you.
Until tonight.
You gasped into his mouth as his kisses grew hurried and his roaming hands grew more confident in its exploration, teasingly brushing the underside of your breasts before it would fall to and your fingers threads into his hair before tugging on them. The sting of his scalp immediately melted into hot pleasure that dripped down to his abdomen. He was undeniably hard, bursting at the seams from harmless kissing and if lust wasn’t clouding his mind, he would’ve been embarrassed.
He trailed kisses down your throat where your perfume smells the strongest and he groaned before beginning to lave his tongue over your skin and gently sucking on them, relishing in the soft sighs he’s reaping. You shifted under him, no doubt feverish with desire like he is, and your thigh brushed against him, making him tighten his hold onto your waist as a shuddering exhale left him.
Seokjin wasn’t pure, he’s had one or two experiences with women before you came into his life, still it was embarrassing how he had reacted from how you had nudged against him.
“Jinnie…” You sighed and his heart stuttered at how sweet his name sounded spilling out your lips. “Stop teasing me, I want you.”
He detached himself from your throat to take a look at his masterpiece, gently thumbing the small but purple bruises on your skin before daring to look up.
And god, weren’t you a sight for sore eyes?
With your hair strewn messily around your head, you looked like an absolute angel with a halo. Your lips are swollen red and your eyes are blown black as it stared back at him with the same exact amount of need itching his skin. Letting his eyes fall to your neck littered with his marks and the uncharted territories of your thighs, he swallowed hard as his pants grew tighter.
“Jinnie…”
Seokjin…
“You’re so pretty like this, baby.” He whispered.
God, he wanted to do a lot of things with you. 
His head a mess trying to figure out what he should do first, fingers twitching as he figured out if he’ll start with shedding your top off—which he just noticed was one of his hoodies, holy fuck —or begin unbuttoning your denim shorts.
“Jinnie please...”
Seokjin…
All those years with only him and his pent-up frustrations whenever he’d see you wear your pretty dresses—the sensual floor-length maxi length dress you had worn for the luxury themed Christmas party with the high slit on the side of your thighs dangerously matched with a pair of red heels forever ingrained into his brain—finally resurfacing and all of a sudden, he’s insatiable, ravenous and one kiss away from his sanity snapping.
You were his to have, to hold and to revere.
God, he feels crazy just thinking about how you were his . He was descending into madness from the unbridled desire he's been holding back and now that he's got you within arms reach, he doesn't know what—
“SEOKJIN HYUNG!”
He shot up from his bed with a scream beyond what his parched throat could tolerate and he started coughing. 
Mind immediately catching up on what was happening, he quickly pulled his blanket up to hide the painful tent in his pajamas. The surprise from having his name called out by a voice that belonged to someone else fades and irritation begins to burn his back.
Jungkook, who was the one who had woken him up, eyes half open and blinked blearily back at him, absolutely clueless of what he had just interrupted.
“Why did you wake me up?! Did your parents not tell you how rude it is to wake up someone so abruptly?!” Seokjin didn't really mean to scream that out so loud but he was frustrated.
Who wouldn't be in this situation?
“Why so grumpy? Was your dream really that good?” Seeing the blush spreading on his face, a shit-eating grin grew on his lips. “Was it about noona?”
“What do you want?” He asked, attempting to stir the conversation away.
“Namjoon hyung called me to wake you up, something about needing your voice at the studio to record a demo he had made this morning.”
Turning to the windows, he immediately noticed how the sun was barely even peaking through the horizon and groaned exasperatedly. Namjoon’s mind is usually a blessing but all he could think about was how he wanted nothing more than to strangle the man for having an inspiration this early in the morning, interrupting the only pleasant dream he’s had in years.
Jungkook, although had woken him up due to an order, wasn't safe from the bubbling wrath at the pit of his stomach. How could the men he's supposed to be his brothers by heart do this to him?
If he slept in the car, would it—
“So… how was your dream with noona?”
“GET OUT!”
_______
To say his family was enthusiastic would be the understatement of the year.
The moment the news reached his mother’s ears, it quickly spread throughout the clan and everyone had demanded to hold a banquet, at least a week-long feast to celebrate their first ever tethered in the family. 
While he understood their enthusiasm, his shared sentiment quickly soured when the excitement stretched over to the next week and it plunged into the negatives when his aunties began to demand him to discreetly arrange a soulbinding without the other members of the nexus knowing, reasoning that man is born greedy and having multiple men pine for one girl is not a good look.
They didn’t say it outloud but it was clear what they thought of the nexus connection and it pissed him off.
Despite the concept of soulmates existing since the dawn of time, those who are considered normal think of multiple connections as some kind of taboo, something that shouldn’t even exist and having seven men only tethered to one woman is contradicting what mankind deem is typical and expected in a relationship. The underlying judgment under the fake smiles of his aunts’ and the playful comments of his uncles about having to compete with six other men had spoiled his excitement faster than an unrefrigerated fish.
He wouldn’t lie and say that he hadn’t judged a passing throuple before, he was guilty of once being a little unsettled when he had heard the five trainees a floor below them were all connected to each other. It was human nature to be unsure and frown upon the unnatural after all—not that he’s excusing his behavior from before.
But now that he’s found himself a part of a nexus, Hoseok had surprised himself when he realised how easily he had welcomed the idea of polyamory like a fish to water. Maybe it was the bond forged by sweat and tears he's had with the other guys had made it an easy pill to swallow but being a part of a nexus, he had understood why, despite being against what was considered normal and typical, those throuples and the five boys downstairs fearlessly flaunted each other despite the world's efforts to shame them all.
He eventually learned how to ignore their pestering calls and messages for the sake of his public image because he wouldn’t know what would fly off his mouth if he ever heard them utter another veiled remark about how impure and disgusting it is for one woman to entertain seven men.
Today, he finds himself confused by how Jin has been acting whenever you’re within a meter away from him, flinching back with his ears practically glowing with how red it has turned and stammering every word out like a flustered high schooler. Confusing because for as long as he knows, their oldest has long graduated from acting cute around his crush.
It was a fight between your determination to help him prepare for breakfast against his hyung’s easily embarrassed state brought by god-knows-what had transpired between yesterday and today.
Jungkook choking on his food from his constant laughter whenever they see the eldest fumble and stumble on air only stoked their curiosities further.
“What is it? Why do you keep on laughing?” Jimin asked, voice low and careful to not be caught by their eldest who is currently hissing, and bent over on one leg as he held onto his toe that he had just stubbed on the corner of the island counter.
“Let us in on the joke, come on.” Taehyung goaded on.
Jungkook, surprisingly, shook his head. 
“Does all of those years mean nothing to you?”
“Where does your loyalty lie?!”
“Even if I want to tell you guys, Jin knows all the passwords to my accounts. I just hit Grandmaster rank there, I’m not risking it.” Jungkook replied before continuing to stuff his face with his breakfast.
This didn’t deter the two other maknaes, if anything, they grew more determined to uncover the secrets their youngest and eldest managed to gain in a short time. Silently, the rest of them cheered on Jimin and Taehyung, also eager to learn what the secret was but not having the energy to bother.
Almost a month since Jungkook’s birthday, the doctors had finally given you and Jimin the green light to continue work when he found out you both can now last an hour and a half without being in the same room. 
It also meant that the tour could finally continue, the management had already informed them of their new schedules.
Days since he found out his tethered status, yet even with a very enthusiastic Taehyung’s help, Hoseok is yet to find what kind of soulmate link he has.
All they knew was that it can alter their appearances but they hadn’t specified what part of the body it’ll affect. There's a thousand possibilities and most of them involve being hurt, something he's not willing to do. He had to turn down a couple of Taehyung's suggestions in the fear of accidentally hurting you in the process.
It hurts him to reject Taehyung and seeing his excitement dull but who in their right minds would agree to his experimentations when all he could suggest was pinching him, cutting a small wound on his palm, shaving a patch of hair on his leg or arm, and finally, trying if baldness can also be inherited by the other.
Hoseok thinks the boy had momentarily forgotten they share the same soulmate. 
He wasn't rushing to find out his soulmark anyways. Hoseok can wait, he has done so for two years, he can wait a couple days more.
Tossing all the stress of yesterday to the side, Hoseok found himself staring blankly at his monitor, an unfinished melody looping on his speakers, and wondering if there is a soulmate mark out there that can gather all of his thoughts and feelings to become a song he'd just randomly blurt out to help him.
He has a vision. 
There’s an almost non-existent melody playing at the back of his head that had been tormenting him since the day he had found out his new status.
Ideas overflowed in his mind so much that he might as well have none because of how cramped and cluttered his brain had become. If he were to explain it, his mind was like a lottery ball machine that is teeming with so much it refuses to spill anything out.
Hoseok wanted to dedicate a song to you with a melody as sweet as your voice yet as sparkly and bright as the glint in your eyes. He wanted the word to know that he's been spoken for while barely revealing anything but his mind wasn't cooperating. 
Maybe Yoongi can help me with this one...
A shrill sound of his phone shattered through his train of thoughts. Seeing his mother's name on the screen, he quickly picks it up but to his surprise it was Jiwoo who welcomed him.
“Hey, mom’s wondering if you guys plan on ever introducing her and her parents to us and the others?” His sister began, her head popping from the side and covering most of the screen while their mother’s body stood behind her.
Almost every member has complained about their parents wanting them to go through a soulbinding ceremony as soon as possible, claiming it was useless to drag it out. 
While he does understand the benefits of being formally and spiritually bonded, everyone thought it was better to court you first.
A bit traditional and pointless as they're all tethered but dating and courting you with roses and fancy dinners has been at the back of everyone's mind. With their eldest insistent on doing so, the others had no choice but to follow.
There's also the North American tour they have to start. The management had made it known how important it is to continue their tour, saying it had been delayed for too long and ARMY were getting antsy so it was difficult to make room for a pre-bonding party and the soulbinding ceremony itself.
“We can't delay the tour any longer so we'll have it once we return home. Besides, the guys and I wanted to properly court her before any binding takes place.”
His mother made a disapproving sound. “I’m worried. You all know that not being formally binded means you guys are more susceptible to hyperactivity, right?”
“Of course we know, we all had a discussion a couple of days back but the tour’s just a couple of weeks. When we all return to Seoul, we'll finally seal the deal.”
“I'll ask the other moms for help arranging it so you guys won't stress about it during the tour, okay?”
“Do you even know how to woo a woman?” Jiwoo asked, a teasing grin on her lips.
“Obviously! What do you take me for?!”
“You buried yourself in work for years, I think I have a good reason to be suspicious of your ability to woo a woman.” Jiwoo retorted. “Your last relationship was back in high school and she dumped you for reasons you haven’t told me yet.”
“Because it's dumb and I’m not giving you more ammo than you already have.”
“Children, the both of you,” his mother sighed, shaking her head. “Can I finally speak now?”
When she was answered by the ashamed silence from the both of them, she continued.
“What are you planning for your date? Where will you guys be when it's finally your time?”
Hoseok turned away from the intense stares he's receiving through the screen because for someone who had insisted he had plans earlier to his sister, he absolutely has no idea on how he'll take you on a date. 
A food trip date around a city in disguise has been taken, a dinner on a yacht and a date on a fair got snatched away by their youngest before anyone could even start raising their ideas. A musical in New York is out of the equation too, a romantic night walk in Paris also.
Basically, almost all the date ideas he had were stolen by the others and he’s beginning to consider locking them all in their rooms and cut their charger cords.
“See? I can’t trust my baby brother to know how to woo a woman!”
“What does she like? We’ll help you.”
“The others got most of my ideas, except Jungkook. Nothing can make me ride rollercoasters.”
“Even if your soulmate asks you to?”
Hoseok pondered for a moment. 
Does he love you more than he values his life?
“I don't need to anyways, she's got the other maknaes to ride it with her.”
“I mean—”
“What does she like? We need to give you ideas on how your date with her will go.” Their mother interrupts before they continue bantering. “Have you all decided on whose first and last?”
“Jungkook goes first, I don't know how that kid did it but he won against all of us in rock, paper, scissors.”
“You guys are losers.” Jiwoo sighed in the background. “The world's biggest boyband are dorks trapped in handsome bodies.”
“How about you?” His mother asked.
“Miraculously, I got second.”
“Where would you guys be at the time?” 
“I can choose between Hamilton and Newark. Chicago is already reserved by someone else.”
“Stargazing?” Jiwoo suggested.
But before he could respond, a knock cut him off. Turning to face the door, his eyes met your concerned pairs as you entered with a plastic bag in hand and a styrofoam food package inside it.
You had your hair in a braid today matched with the most minimal makeup due to you waking up late compared to their usual schedule yet Hoseok thinks you the cutest human he’s ever laid eyes on. 
Moreso when you’re the one who’s bringing him food.
“Yoongi had me bring this up to you and to tell you to take a break.”
“Is it time for lunch time already? I think I just ate earlier.” He says, standing up to take the food from your hand and muttering a ‘thank you’ under his breath.
Stepping aside, he invites you into the studio and motioned his hand towards the sofa on the corner of the room. Instantly, you fall into its plush cushion comfortably with your feet hanging on the side and the rest of your body on the cushion. 
You look absolutely cozy in your loose pants and oversized hoodie combo that he almost leaned down to fit himself into the space next to you and cuddle up to your side to see if you’re as comfortable as you looked.
Like the others, he had sometimes laid next to you, but he always maintained distance from your body. He wasn’t like the maknaes who had grown used to your hugs and cuddles. Whenever it does happen, he’d always freeze up and pull out his phone to distract him from the loud thuds of his own heartbeat echoing in his ears. 
Hoseok wouldn't lie and say he was never jealous of how easily the maknaes could saddle up next to you. It was something he had to learn to swallow or force to the back of his head every time its ugly face rears into his mind.
Seeing you strewn comfortably on his couch, he thinks that maybe he could finally muster up the courage to cozy up next to you.
“Aren't you a bit too comfortable lounging in my studio like this?” He jokingly said.
“We've been together for years, you should know how I act when I see a couch.”
“Still, it would be nice if you could have a bit of decorum.”
You rolled your eyes. “But I’m your soulmate.”
It was astonishing how a word could evoke so much within him. Hearing the word ‘soulmate’ felt like a balm after years of stolen gazes and aching yearning to be yours. You were confirming and acknowledging the existence of the still undiscovered bond between you both, something he hadn’t thought he’d ever get, and it made his chest warm.
It was a bit hard at first to get you and Namjoon—who still couldn't believe the very subject he had dedicated a school paper to deny happened to him—to accept the bond but to be constantly exposed to each other at the dorm and be surrounded by the familiar joy from the days before the marks’ manifestation, the both of you grew to welcome the idea more comfortably with each passing day.
And today just happened to be the day where you had verbally acknowledged the bond. 
He's sure the others would be ecstatic to hear that you're beginning to accept and see the link in a positive light.
“Were you talking to someone before I came with the food? I didn’t interrupt anything, right?” You asked, grounding his mind to focus on you.
“Just my mom and sister asking about the tour, don’t worr—”
“LIAR! We were teaching him how to woo yo—!” Jiwoo’s voice screamed from the phone before his mother’s reprimanding hushes took over.
“We’ll call you back later to continue our discussion, son. You both have a nice day, alright?” 
“Bye mom!”
“See you, auntie.”
With his screen returning to Twitter’s homepage as the call drops, the pin drop silence in the room had reminded him how it's just you and him together. 
Alone. 
In his studio.
Never in his life did he think having you alone with him would be so daunting.
He stared at his chair in front of the unfinished melody on pause on his monitor then to you who had sat up to unfurl the knot on the plastic bag where two food containers, one rectangular and the other a deep cylinder, stuck between the decision to continuing his work before eventually settling next to you to uncover his food himself.
“So," He began but his voice sounded weaker than he wanted and he cleared his throat. "What did you and Jin have today?”
“We settled with a salad and chicken paired with a milkshake. Yoongi ordered our lunch from that new store by the intersection, you know, the one you pointed out on our way here.”
Leaning down to take a sniff of the biggest container, he then turned to you.
“What did you get me?” 
“Guess.”
It doesn't take a genius to know what is inside the container and it made his chest warm at how his friends always remember if he’s craving for something. Yesterday during dinner, he had asked Yoongi if he ever plans on making beef bone broth anytime soon.
Said bone broth is now filling the cylinder container while kimchi fried rice and bulgogi filled the other.
“Did Yoongi order this? Because if he does, I will thank him with my forehead touching the ground.”
“Yeah but Namjoon was the one who brought it up.” You answered as you opened the lid of the big container while he brought the bone broth up to his lips for a couple of quick sips. “Also, the reason why I came here was because we need you down in the styling department. There’s changes made with the tour outfits and they wanted to see if it fits.”
“Now?” He asked before placing down the soup to start eating from the larger container.
“They’re busy with the maknaes now so eat slowly or you’ll choke.” 
“But that means they'll have to wait for me.”
“You're paying us to wait for you, so don't worry much.” You said, waving him off.
“You know you don't have to worry about money or working, right?”
He knew not to bring up the matter of jobs and money, but he really couldn't help but be a bit disheartened at how you continue to refuse their offer to pay and buy you everything you'd ever need. 
You might just be the only person he knows who'd vehemently deny being spoiled by seven billionaires who are already at her beck and call. Hoseok knew you liked working as their makeup artist but couldn't you still enjoy working for them while dressed in clothes and wearing jewelries they want to adorn you with?
If you were more accepting of their fortunes, you'd have all the diamonds and precious gems in the world filling the kitchen and lounging area of their dorm by tomorrow.
But unfortunately, he and the others have to hold back on spending ridiculous amounts on you.
“I know but sometimes I'd rather be Y/N the makeup artist.” You say, standing up to leave. “It can be a little exhausting being the Bangtan’s Soulmate Y/N.”
For a moment, he panicked. Shouldn't he have brought it up again? Had he set back the progress they had made since the day Jimin had told them what happened?
He almost broke down from how worried he was at your reaction, until you returned with a kombucha in your hand to offer him.
“Don't look so distressed you'd get wrinkles.” You teased.
“I was worried I messed up by saying that, the others would have my head if I had.”
“I'm not angry or annoyed. Surprisingly.” You fall to the space next to him with hands intertwined on your lap and your eyes staring a hole onto the ground. “Didn't know there'll come a day where I'd be more accepting of the fact.”
“Me too.”
_______
Ever since this morning, everyone in your department had been bugging you about your unexplained and sudden absences that spanned over for weeks. Your friends from other departments had jogged up to you in the cafeteria, asking if you felt better after catching a stomach bug.
Minhyuk had successfully spread the news that you got sick from drinking yourself dumb during Jungkook’s birthday with his expansive connection as a cover up and you were struggling with how careful you have to be with your words and keeping your answers as vague as possible.
But out of all the events of today, all you could think about was how Alexa’s gaze had eyed you skeptically and scanned you from head to toe as if she was searching for something.  It lingered on your forearm when you had tugged your sleeves up to your elbows and you had subconsciously closed your hands to try and hide the musical note tattoo hidden between your fingers.
Who knew having soulmates could make you a little paranoid?
That being said, there’s been a new rotation for makeup noonas so you couldn’t accidentally activate your soulmarks with Taehyung and Jimin. Even then, everyone had been instructed to take Amoneuron before they leave the dorms to dull the body's sensitivity to the new bond and to somewhat slow the effect from having someone of the opposite gender touch you pre-binding. It would stall it long enough until you both activate your soulmate mark together.
You were assigned to those with the less noticeable soulmarks like Namjoon and Hoseok while Minhyuk and Nabi were assigned to Jimin and Yoongi, Saeyoung—one of the oldest make-up noonas—was lined to only assist Namjoon; which left Jihae and Alexa to tend to Taehyung and Jin
Minhyuk had the stinkiest grimace on his face when he heard.
It was Jihae’s honest mistake since the changes had been abrupt and the pairings were given out on-the-spot. It wasn’t until later did she realise her mistake.
“So you’re saying, the girl with the wild delusions about Jin being her soulmate will be handling Jin? How did that happen?” Hoseok asked, voice barely a whisper as you both dismount the elevator.
“Jihae, bless her old soul, made a mistake when she was matching us up.”
Hoseok’s eyes scanned your face, searching for something you don’t know yet before turning his attention back to the front.
“You and I both know who Jin loves right?”
You raised an eyebrow at him, confused. “Of course..? What are you getting at?”
Instead of giving you a proper answer, he just smiled and said: “Good.”
"Hey, I'm not gonna be jealous. He's only got one soulmate and that's me."
A radiant smile splits his face as he lightly pinches your cheeks. "I'm glad you know."
The double doors to the correct styling room parts open and you both head in to see all the stylists and make-up noonas fluttering around in a somewhat organized chaos while the rest of the boys either sat in front of the mirror or stood still in the middle of the room as someone takes their measurements and hold up accessories to their faces.
Like second nature, Hoseok heads to the last available seat at the far left next to Yoongi and a standing Namjoon who’s scrolling through his phone while his stylist fetched a different top from the clothing rack.
“How’s the bone broth? Is it good?” Namjoon starts as the dancer sits down and you began to pull out the palettes and bottles from the rack in his shade.
“Our leader takes care of us so well, I loved it.”
“Why do you say it like he doesn’t care about us at all, Hoseok?” Yoongi instigated next to him with a blank expression as he scrolled through his phone.
“Oh come on, hyung. You know I don’t mean it like that.”
Instead of replying, Yoongi just grinned.
Soon enough, Hoseok’s primary stylist approached you both and began to list down possible make-up looks to match the outfit he’ll be wearing in the US. Picking up the primer and twisting the lid off, you began to work as the stylist pulled up reference pictures of his past make-up looks and other idols faces for inspiration.
Spreading and patting the product onto his face, your heart began to pick up a pace as you grew hyper aware of how close you are to him. Being aware of the unknown soulbond connecting the two of you had changed how you perceive what you used to deem as normal and routinely.
Hoseok has always been stunning with his cute nose and a jaw sharper than the finest of blades but since when did he begin to look as radiant as he does right now? And why are you so nervous?
You take out the foundation bottle with shaky hands and try your best to collect your composure.
But having your brush glide gently down the slope of his nose and having to touch his chin to tilt his head up made the task almost impossible. 
It didn’t help that instead of his usual routine of scrolling through his phone, Hoseok was openly staring up at you with an unreadable look. You felt the heat of his gaze as it roamed up to your eyebrows, down to the tip of your nose before it paused at your lips. It left a trailing blaze that instantly melted the wall you tried so hard to establish between you and your soulmates during work. 
You were tempted to keep your brush resting on top of his eyelids just so your heart could rest a little.
Every time you sensed it lingering on your lips, your heart would soar. You don't dare to listen to the voice in your head that tells you to look up to meet the other pair of eyes trained on you.
You could see Namjoon staring at you from the edge of your eyes, no doubt hearing how fast your heartbeat is going. You try not to fluster under his gaze too and switch your brush to the other hand to shake the tremble off of your dominant hand.
When Aera, Hoseok’s stylist, had walked away to answer to the other stylist's call, you narrowed your eyes at the dancer.
“Stop looking at me like that and do your usual scrolling through Naver.” You whispered, resolution faltering as a grin splits through Hoseok's perfectly sculpted face.
“I left my phone on the makeup table though.” 
Without skipping a beat, you turned to pick up his phone and pushed it into his hand.
“Please look away, you're distracting me.”
Then, as if his stage persona had possessed him, his smile sweetened into a flirty grin. Suddenly, you were faced with an immovable force that is Jung Hoseok. His eyes flit down to your lips and his entire demeanor takes a sharp turn when his gaze grows heavy with longing, deep, desiring red flashing across his eyes and for a moment, you thought he was going to lean in to devour your whole.
Your heart skipped a beat and this time, Namjoon had snapped his head to the both of you.
“Stop teasing her, Hoba. You don't distract your make-up artist when they're doing their job.” Their leader said in a low voice, careful of any eavesdroppers as he placed a hand on his shoulder in almost a warning.
“I've never seen you be flustered like this before, noona. It's a bit addicting to see you turn red for me…” 
Namjoon sighed. “Please remain professional inside the BigHit building please. We agreed to not let our personal feelings affect our work, didn't we?”
You sent the man a silent thanks and continued to work. When Aera returns, Hoseok had begrudgingly returned to his usual programming with him scrolling through his phone. But it didn't mean that your heart had calmed down from the previous encounter.
“Y/N? Are you sure you’re okay?” The stylist, Aera asks, concern marring her face as she touches your forehead. “You’re a little red.”
“I-I'm fine, don't worry.”
Hearing this encounter, a proud smile grew on his face.
Doing the rest of his make-up passed by uneventfully, Hoseok had listened to their leader and kept up a professional facade in front of other observers with an ease and coldness of a perfectionist dance leader. Yet even then, you couldn't stop the tremble and the suddenly halts whenever his heady gaze flashes in your mind.
When it was Namjoon’s turn, Minhyuk had finally appeared after discussing with the other stylists, his bright presence immediately drove away the emotions from earlier.
“God, I know we should be professional and all that but I really hate seeing her doing Jin's make-up.” The other make-up artist whispered as soon as he arrived, his eyes trained at the girl behind you. “She looks so smug and it's making me want to scratch her face with a foundation spatula.”
“Isn't a foundation spatula blunt?” Namjoon asked, confused.
“You underestimate how much I hate her with my entire being, Namjoon. Even the bluntest, roundest edge can be turned into a weapon in the hand of a hater.” Minhyuk responded as he took the eyeshadow palette you were stretching out to him before reaching over the brush container for the correct one.
“I think you've just given me inspiration.”
“Well, I’ll be honoured to know that my random blabbering has helped the magnificent leader, RM of BTS.” Minhyuk then bowed his head exaggeratedly, making Namjoon chuckle.
With Minhyuk taking over Namjoon’s eye makeup, you looked over your shoulder to see what he was referring to and found yourself staring at what might just be the most uncomfortable look you've ever seen on Taehyung and Seokjin as Alexa made her preference for Seokjin obvious as she flutter around him, singing honeyed praises and touching his face longer than a staff should.
With Jihae busy bouncing ideas with the head of the styling and Saeyoung, Alexa was left unattended with all the freedom to do whatever she wants.
Irritation prickled your skin, not because you were jealous but because she was practically coaxing out a soulmate hyperactivity out of him with how long and often she's brushing against his face.
It wasn't like with Nabi who's careful not to touch your soulmates or Saeyoung and Jihae who are already married old women, Alexa has expressed her romantic intentions for Seokjin constantly, something that can still coax out a hyperactivity.
Granted the woman doesn't know your status but as someone destined for someone else, shouldn't she be focusing on that person instead of wasting time with someone who doesn't care about her?
Catching Taehyung’s gaze through his reflection in the mirror, he gave you a panicked look, his thoughts the same as yours.
Luckily, there hasn't been any rising dread or your senses being dialed up to the nines which means the medicine is working.
“That amount of touching would be dangerous, no? I think I should step in.”
But before Minhyuk could begin to march towards them, Seokjin turned to Alexa with the politest grin as he finally let her down slowly if the amusement in Taehyung's eyes were anything to go by.
Shocked and embarrassed by being rejected by the idol in presence of another, she hastily left the room to the confusion of the leaders and oldest women standing near the entrance. Turning to you and Minhyuk, Jihae raised an accusing eyebrow to which you both replied with a shrug. With a sigh, the woman excused herself from the conversation to tend to Seokjin and Taehyung.
“Serves her right.” Minhyuk snorted before turning his attention back to you and ushering you away. "Go calm down the bond with your man. There's chocolate in my bag and go eat it with him."
"Have I ever told you how much I love you, hyuk?"
"Only when you're drunk. Now go!"
Quickly retrieving the sweets from Minhyuk's bag, you jogged up to Jin and offered the chocolate to him. 
With no second spared, he tore through the wrapper and tossed the small candy into his mouth. Its sugary taste bleeds into your tastebuds before the candy touched your tongue.
Despite not experiencing any hint of hyperactivity, there was still a rush of cold relief flushing through your body from having your soulmarks get activated together, as if it was glad to have the bond still intact. A resonating warmth soon replaced the coolness and Seokjin expelled out a long exhale.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
Unsure of what to do in the eyes of the public, you had settled with placing your hands on his shoulders and giving him a comforting squeeze. Taking a glimpse at the reflection of the crowded room, he shyly reached up a hand to clasp over yours in return.

“Noona, have you packed everything you need?”
You huffed. “Of course I have. I've been doing this for years, you know?”
“Well, even if you forgot something, the others can bring it to you anyways.” Taehyung shrugged as he pushed open the doors of the van and stepped out, offering a hand to you as you followed him out with Jimin behind you.
“I'm starting to hate having idols for soulmates. Leaving the country at midnight to evade reporters and stalkers just isn't for me.”
“On the bright side, you'd never have to worry about money and losing your best friends.” Jimin replied as the three of you strolled into the hidden entrance of the airport. “Plus, you get to have handsome men with all that money and companionship.”
“Can't deny that…” You sighed as the two bodyguards assigned to the three of you guided you into the establishment and you yawned. “God, I'm so sleepy.”
Taehyung pats your back.
“We can sleep on the plane then you can choose between the two of us who you want more," Taehyung paused as he considered his words. "Or you can have both of us at the same time."

ᯓ sweet spot — chapter three
pairing: paige bueckers & azzi fudd
my masterlist
wc: 2.6k
Tumblr media
paige laid on her stomach, face half-buried in her pillow, phone in hand. the screenshot of azzi’s private profile stared back at her like it was daring her to do something.
she wasn’t doing anything, though. she had decided that.
until nika texted again.
nika: i bet she’d accept it
paige: i bet i’d implode
nika: stop being so dramatic. it’s not that deep
paige groaned dramatically, flipping onto her back. she tapped her screen off, then on again. back to azzi’s account. still private. still untouched.
she wondered what kind of stuff azzi posted on there. stories? rants? screenshots of text convos with her boyfriend? paige tried her best not to flinch at that last one.
azzi had mentioned him so casually. “my boyfriend.”
like it wasn’t a knife to her goddamn chest.
it naturally got brought up again the following day, when paige was shooting around early, headphones in, trying to look chill. emphasis on trying. she caught herself glancing toward the doors every five seconds like some romcom loser.
then she saw azzi walk in, hoodie on, hair pulled back, yawning like she hadn’t slept. paige’s heartbeat tripled.
azzi waved when she noticed her— just a small one. paige waved back. cool. normal.
totally not weird.
then nika appeared, completely ruining the illusion of calm.
“so,” she whispered, bumping shoulders with paige mid-dribble, “you follow her yet?”
“jesus, nika.”
“she posts the funniest shit. like crying selfies, bad song lyrics,” she laughed. “it’s like a whole different side of her.”
paige blinked once. “you followed her?”
“duh. we’re friends.”
paige hated how jealous that made her.
“she hasn’t posted about noah in a while, though,” nika added, almost too casually. “that’s all i’m saying.”
paige said nothing. just stared at the rim and tried not to read into that.
Tumblr media
the blonde laid in bed, lights off, hoodie on, thumb hovering over her screen again. she couldn’t stop thinking about azzi yawning that morning. or the way she’d smiled yesterday. or nika’s dumb snarky comment.
without giving it another thought, she hit the follow button.
instant regret.
she tossed her phone across the bed like it caught on fire. then crawled under her blanket and pulled it over her head.
her phone buzzed twenty seconds later.
follow accepted.
paige peeked out from the blanket. her heartbeat might’ve actually stopped.
azzi had accepted her request.
paige unlocked her phone with trembling fingers and opened the profile.
the first post was a close-up of azzi’s face, clearly crying but also clearly laughing. the caption read: “i swear this was about a group project and not a man. probably.”
paige nearly dropped her phone all over again.
she scrolled, curiosity growing.
more chaos. rants. song lyrics. selfies of her and with some friends. a mirror pic with the caption: “am i cute or do i just have anxiety?”
and then, finally, a pretty sunset over some beach in california. captioned: “miss this sometimes.”
the post was from one week ago.
paige didn’t like anything. didn’t comment. didn’t breathe.
she just stared.
and she knew— knew— that she was so, so royally fucked. because azzi was so impossibly beautiful that there was no other way to be.
paige scrolled back to the sunset post. the caption hit harder than she wanted to admit. she knew what that kind of homesickness felt like— how it crept in during the quiet moments, curling into her ribs like smoke.
she stared at the photo for a long time, thumb tapping the edge of her phone like a metronome. the caption was simple— miss this sometimes— but paige felt it in her chest.
the picture wasn’t even anything dramatic. just a hazy sunset over rooftops and a caption typed too fast. no filters, no nothing. just a soft sort of sadness, and something unspoken.
before she could talk herself out of it, she opened azzi’s dms. clicked her name.
typed. deleted. typed again.
paige: just saw ur post about missing california. i get that. sometimes it hits out of nowhere, and then it’s all u can think about. if u ever wanna chill or smth, i’m here
she sent it. then quickly added:
paige: just thought id say that
immediate regret flooded her. not because she didn’t mean it— god, she meant it— but because it felt personal, a little vulnerable.
she turned off her phone and tossed it to the foot of the bed like it burned her. a few minutes later, she turned it back on. no response.
then suddenly— three dots.
azzi: that’s actually really nice to hear right now. it’s been a weird week. sometimes it feels like i’m walking around in someone else’s life. thank u for saying that
paige exhaled. her heartbeat sped.
paige: no problem. really. i mean it
another pause.
azzi: honestly? i wouldn’t mind hanging out
paige: i got u. wanna come over? paige: i’ve got snacks and a bunch of shitty netflix recs from nika that i’ve been putting off
azzi: deal. i’ll be over soon
around thirty minutes later, azzi— in sweatpants and an oversized hoodie—knocked on paige’s door like they’d done this a hundred times before.
paige flung it open, trying not to look like she’d been pacing for the past ten minutes.
“hey,” azzi said quietly. “thanks for inviting me over.”
paige smiled. “yeah, sure.”
they sat on the floor with a shared blanket between them and a bowl of popcorn that neither of them touched much. the movie played in the background, but neither of them watched it.
instead, they talked.
not about basketball. not about school. just… stuff. small stuff. azzi mentioned a diner she used to go to back home, how they served pancakes all day. paige talked about her favorite childhood memories from when she lived in minnesota.
at some point, azzi leaned her head against the wall, eyes half-lidded.
“i don’t miss california,” she said. “not really. it’s more like i miss who i was there. before everything got so complicated.”
paige didn’t answer right away. she just nodded in understanding, watching the soft flicker of light play across azzi’s face.
“yeah,” she said quietly. “i know what you mean.”
the popcorn went cold. the movie ended. but neither of them moved.
it wasn’t a date. it wasn’t anything like that.
but it mattered.
and paige knew she wasn’t going to forget it anytime soon.
Tumblr media
after that night, azzi started hanging out in paige’s room a lot.
it wasn’t like they planned it. it just sort of happened. a post-practice cooldown turned into ice cream. then it became watching film together. then music. then nothing at all. just existing. together. paige definitely wasn’t complaining. except… she was, internally. constantly. because being near azzi and not being able to kiss her was basically slow, romantic torture.
azzi would curl up on paige’s bed, hoodie sleeves pulled over her hands, brown curls framing her face in a way paige adored, legs tucked under her. paige would sit at her desk pretending to do homework while her entire brain short-circuited from the proximity.
tonight, azzi had her head on paige’s shoulder while they watched love & basketball on her laptop.
“this movie’s so dramatic,” azzi mumbled, half-asleep, “but i love it.”
“same,” paige whispered, very aware of how azzi’s cheek was resting against her collarbone. “you’re the q to my monica.”
azzi laughed gently. “that makes you the love interest.”
i’d like to be. paige didn’t say it. but the words pressed up against her throat. instead, she said, “you doing okay?”
azzi was quiet for a second.
then: “honestly, i don’t know.”
paige looked down. azzi was staring straight ahead, lashes long, voice soft. “i talked to noah yesterday,” she said. “he got mad i couldn’t facetime right after class. it’s just… hard, lately. the distance. everything.”
paige felt something clench in her chest. she hated that he made azzi feel like this. that he could.
“you don’t deserve that,” she said, firm and direct.
azzi shrugged. “he’s just stressed. i get it.”
paige didn’t. but she kept that to herself.
there was a pause. then azzi nudged paige’s side gently.
then.
“you’re so sweet, you know that?”
paige scoffed, blushing hard. “me? no. you’re literally… like, the kindest person i’ve ever met.”
azzi smiled, eyes soft. “that’s not true. you’re not like how everyone thinks you are.”
paige shook her head, was silent for a moment. “you have no idea what you do to me.”
azzi tilted her head. “what do i do to you?”
paige blinked. shit.
“uh— nothing,” she said too fast. “i mean— like— not nothing, but not—”
azzi was smiling now. “are you nervous?”
paige buried her face in her hands. “you cannot just ask that.”
azzi laughed and bumped her shoulder. “you’re adorable.”
she’s going to kill me, paige thought. this is how i die. at the hands of sweetness.
later that night, paige was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. she hadn’t stopped replaying every word since azzi left.
fuck it. she gave up trying to sleep and texted her.
paige: u make it back to ur dorm okay?
azzi replied instantly.
azzi: yup. thank u again for letting me hang in ur room. i swear its cozier than mine
paige: that’s bc its been blessed by ur presence paige: scientifically proven
azzi: lol ur too much azzi: fr tho ur such a good friend. its been nice having u around lately
paige’s fingers hovered.
fucking friend. paige tried her best not to roll her eyes.
paige: always here for u. friend or otherwise
azzi didn’t reply for a minute.
then—
azzi: goodnight paige azzi: sleep well <3
paige turned off her phone and curled deeper into the covers.
she wasn’t going to sleep. not with that stupid little heart pounding in her head.
Tumblr media
it was a rare night off, and coach had ordered team dinner at this little family-owned italian place downtown. long tables, red-checkered tablecloths, warm lighting. the whole team packed in tight, plates of pasta being passed around, laughter echoing off the walls.
paige sat at the end of the table, half-listening to nika’s story about a tinder date gone rogue, when she felt it— azzi sliding into the empty chair beside her. her breath caught. she hoped nobody noticed.
“you look nice,” azzi said quietly, nudging paige’s knee under the table.
paige blinked. “sorry— what?”
azzi grinned. “didn’t think the team dinner dress code included looking like a low-key goddess, but here we are.”
paige laughed a little too loud and immediately looked down at her outfit. she was in jeans and a black zip-up. casual. nothing special.
but azzi was looking at her like she was wearing dior.
“you’re one to talk,” paige mumbled, hoping the restaurant lighting masked how pink her ears had gone. “you could wear a trash bag and still look perfect.”
azzi’s grin widened as she sipped her lemonade. “so dramatic.”
“you started it.”
they smiled at each other for a beat too long.
that’s when kennedy— one of paige’s flings she’d forgotten all about until this moment— walked up out of nowhere, and immediately leaned in.
“so, paige,” she said, twirling her straw in the drink she was holding. “you dating anyone?”
azzi blinked.
paige flinched like she’d been slapped. “uh… no. not really.”
kennedy smirked. “crazy. someone like you? i just assumed.”
across the table, azzi was quiet. still smiling, but not quite the same.
paige tried to steer the conversation away, suddenly hyperaware of azzi’s leg brushing against hers under the table. she didn’t dare to move.
halfway through dinner, paige reached for the bread basket, and so did azzi. their fingers touched.
azzi didn’t pull away. neither did she.
“you’re warm,” she whispered.
paige looked at her, heart in her throat. “so are you.”
they froze like that for a second, hands still barely touching.
azzi opened her mouth to say something, but—
nika’s voice cut in from the other side of the table. “hey azzi, what’s your dog’s name again? the one in your story?”
azzi blinked, pulling her hand back. “oh— stewie. she’s tiny and thinks she owns my parent’s house.”
paige stared at the empty space between them like it had just betrayed her.
only a few hours later, however, paige— comfortably positioned on her bed— typed out a message.
paige: u were gonna say something earlier. what was it?
she stared at the text.
deleted it.
she tried again.
paige: i like when u sit next to me
fuck no. she’d never send that. not in a million years.
she deleted that too.
in the end, she sent nothing. just stared at the ceiling and thought about how good azzi looked tonight— pearl earrings, soft smile, words lingering behind her teeth.
almost.
Tumblr media
the gym was nearly empty.
most of the team had left after practice, but paige lingered, shooting free throws in silence. her earbuds were in, but no music played— just a shield, something to make it feel like the world was further away than it was.
she didn't hear the door open.
but she did feel the presence.
“didn’t think anyone else would still be here,” came a voice she knew like the back of her hand.
azzi.
paige turned, saw her in gray joggers and a uconn hoodie, hair pulled back, cheeks still flushed from practice. paige pulled out one earbud and tried to act casual, even though her heart was now sprinting.
“you caught me trying to live out my late-night kobe fantasy,” paige said, grinning.
azzi smiled, walking toward her. “mind if i join?”
paige tossed her the ball. “only if you promise not to show me up.”
azzi smirked and drained a three like she wasn’t casually pulling on the strings of paige’s heart.
they played for a while— just light shooting, taking turns. no talking. just the sound of bouncing rubber and squeaking sneakers. paige was too busy watching the way azzi moved, like everything she did was effortless. beautiful, even when sweaty.
at one point, azzi missed a shot and groaned. “ugh. that one was for pride.”
paige grabbed the rebound and passed it back. “guess your pride’s mine now.”
azzi raised an eyebrow. “is that how it works?”
“yeah,” paige said, stepping closer. “you lose a shot, you owe me something.”
azzi’s lips curled. “what do i owe you, then?”
paige paused. she hadn’t thought that far ahead.
“dinner,” she said before she could stop herself. “like, i dunno. team dinner. or— if you want— just us.”
azzi’s smile faltered, just a fraction. “paige…”
paige knew that tone. that soft, sad, hesitant tone. her stomach twisted. “it doesn’t have to be a thing,” she said quickly. “i just like being around you.”
azzi dribbled once, staring down at the ball.
then: “i like being around you too.”
paige took a breath, let it out slowly.
azzi looked up again, something unreadable in her eyes. “noah called me earlier. said he might fly out next month.”
“oh,” paige said. her voice came out flat. she hated that it did.
azzi stepped forward. “i don’t know what i’m doing. with him. with any of it.”
paige didn’t move.
“you don’t have to figure it out right now,” she said, softer this time. “i’m not asking for anything.”
azzi nodded. “i know.”
a beat passed.
then, quietly: “but sometimes i wish i met you first.”
the world felt like it tilted on its axis. her heartbeat was definitely thudding at an abnormal, mildly concerning rate.
paige opened her mouth. closed it, unsure what to say.
azzi looked at her like she regretted saying it, but didn’t take it back. she simply said, “let’s get out of here, yeah?”
paige nodded.
she didn’t say it out loud, but in her head, she screamed:
fuck noah. i’m right here. i’m all you need. you’re all i need. i would never treat you like he does.
those words stayed put in paige’s brain, never leaving once. because god, did she mean them. every single word, every letter.

⭐︎Caught mid-laugh
with MICHAEL OLISE⭐︎
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: To the public, Michael Olise barely speaks. But when Bayern’s training vlog accidentally captures him giggling at you on FaceTime—soft voice, dimples out fans go feral. Turns out, behind all that mystery is a man hopelessly in love… and now the whole world knows. @muglermami
Tumblr media
The thing about you and Michael is… people think they know him.
They see the stone-cold game face. The media-trained, one-word press answers. The serious glare that never cracks unless he’s scoring or assisting. Fans have memes about how he probably blinks once a day and only talks to pass the ball.
And then there’s you.
Animated. Loud. Laughs with your whole chest. You speak with your hands. You’ve never been able to hide what you feel, and honestly? You don’t want to.
You’d once asked him, “Do I embarrass you?”
He blinked slow—his signature move—and said, “Nah. You just talk enough for both of us.”
You threw a pillow at his head, and he caught it one-handed, smirking like he wasn’t completely in love.
That’s the thing. Michael Olise in public? Mysterious. Cold. Emotionally unavailable.
Michael Olise with you?
An absolute simp.
He listens to you rant about TikTok drama like it's a tactical team talk. He ties your shoes if he sees they’re loose. He reads the books you recommend and acts like he hated them, but then quotes them back to you during random convos. He sends you voice notes with sleepy “good morning” mumbles, and “love you, be safe” before every shoot you do.
But no one knows.
Because Michael’s private. Has always been. You two post the occasional soft-launch—photos of feet, a mutual blurry selfie, a shadow. Nothing ever too on-the-nose. You were cool with that.
Until the day “The Clip” dropped.
It was meant to be a regular behind-the-scenes clip—pre-training vibes for Bayren's tiktok, just casual footage of the boys arriving, stretching, messing around in the locker room. Classic background music, subtitles, fun energy.
Then came your moment—unintended, barely three seconds long, but enough to end the internet.
The camera had panned past a few players before pausing briefly on Michael, who was leaned against the wall, in full kit, hood up, phone to his ear. He hadn’t noticed the camera yet.
And just in time, the mic caught it
A soft laugh. His laugh.
And then—clear as day, in that low, boyish voice of his,“You’re such an idiot… you know that?”
And he giggled.
Not just a smirk. Not the subtle nose-exhale. A giggle. Full dimples, head-tilt, “I-like-you-more-than-I-admit” kind of giggle.
Then he clocked the camera, side-eyed it, pulled the phone slightly lower and shook his head like don’t even start.
But it was too late.
The comment section? Unhinged.
“WHO IS HE GIGGLING FOR???”
“Michael Olise?? Said that?? With EMOTION??”
“I’ve never heard him speak above a whisper and now he’s in love??”
“Y’all… he said ‘you’re such an idiot’ and laughed like it was the cutest thing ever i’m sick”
“Okay whoever that girl is—protect her at all costs she has a superpower”
“Nah. I can’t even get a guy to double-text back and she’s got Olise giggling???”
Your phone blew up within the hour. Friends sent you the video. Even your coworkers were texting like: “Hey um. Isn’t this your man?”
At first, you were nervous. You asked Michael, “Are you mad?”
He shrugged, laying with his head in your lap while you scrolled through the memes. “Nah. I think they needed to know.”
“Know what?”
He looked up at you with that soft, unreadable expression.
“That I’m happy.”
Your heart thudded.
You bent down to kiss his forehead, and he sighed into your touch like it was home then you laughed.
“They caught you slipping.”
He blinked at you through the screen, all mock-annoyed. “Why do you sound proud?”
“Because I’ve been trying to prove you’re soft for months. Bayern did it for me in HD.”
He rolled his eyes but couldn’t stop smiling. “You are an idiot though.”
You grinned, and he added quietly, “Yeah your favorite one.”
When the next day reached, by then the clip was everywhere.
The FaceTime. The giggle. The “you’re such an idiot” line that had fans writing fanfic and over-analyzing your nonexistent social media presence.
Bayern hadn’t posted anything since, but the damage was already done.
Michael Olise was officially a taken man—and the world was obsessed.
So of course, when Bayern did a sit-down player interview a week later, it was one of the first questions the host brought up.
She smiled innocently. “So, Michael… the fans have been asking—who made you giggle like that in training?”
Michael looked up from adjusting his sleeves. Pause. Blink. The classic Olise hesitation.
The smirk twitched.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
“I don’t… giggle.”
The host laughed. “You did, though. We’ve all seen it.”
He bit his lip, looked down like he was debating whether to lie or deflect. But then?
He smiled.
Not the usual little half-smirk. A real one. Dimples and all.
“…Just someone who makes me laugh,” he said simply.
“A girlfriend?” the interviewer prompted.
He paused, then nodded. “Yeah.”
The host grinned. “Is she as funny as you looked in that clip?”
Michael chuckled under his breath. “Funnier. Way too dramatic. But yeah… she’s funny.”
The internet? Screamed.
“‘Too dramatic’ is boyfriend language. I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.”
“I need that girl to run a TED Talk on how she got Michael Olise to be soft.”
“We better never find her. She deserves peace and a lifetime of giggles.”
You watched the clip on your phone while walking to his place, smiling to yourself the whole way.
You: they asked about me lol Michael: u watched it? You: yeah. you were nervous 😭 Michael: u would be too if the whole world knew how soft i am You: but you are 🥹 Michael: stfu❤️
When he got home that night, he found you in his hoodie, curled up on the couch, watching a movie with popcorn in your lap.
He dropped his bag, walked over, and pressed a kiss to the top of your head.
“People know now,” you teased, tilting your head back to look up at him.
He shrugged. “Let them.”
And with that, Michael Olise sat down next to you, laced his fingers with yours, and quietly let the world see the side of him that only you ever got to see.
The one who giggled.
The one who loved.
The one who’d always been yours.

I know we don’t know how they are in all reality but I feel it in my bones that Luke is the sweetest human and cares so much about those in his circle. He gives off such cozy and safe vibes.
i also really think this is true. i think jack and quinn are too, but i feel like luke is so much more in tune with those around him.
i know it’s kinda been said he’s a chronic yapper around the people he likes/is comfortable with, but i feel like he’s also quiet at times. but not quiet as in he has nothing to say, quiet as in he’s observant. i just can see him sitting in a group with everyone, having his moments where he’s adding into the convo and cracking jokes, but also if he notices even one person’s vibe is off he’s watching them.
he’s making sure they’re okay, making sure they’re heard if they have something to say, keeping a close eye on their body language and facial expressions.
being the youngest, i feel like he gets what it’s like to be left behind in a conversation or feel like by the time you have the opportunity to add your comments the moment has passed, so he’s def the type the tell everyone to stop for a second bc someone has something to say.
i also have this feeling he’s the type to go seek out those who seclude themselves in a corner. he wants to make sure they know they can join if they want to, but it’s okay if they don’t want to, too. he’ll stand there and chat with them or be their buffer if they want an in to the larger conversation
overall i just feel like he’s a super attentive person. he seems the type to be able to read people well, so i think he’s definitely always keen on making sure people feel like they belong and welcomed in any atmosphere they’re in
