#and it’s just nice that a game im enjoying right now feels so tailored to me in the gender department

[clownsnake]

getting the sudden urge to make a new fursona thats literally just a Minecraft cow or maybe a frog because, as far as I know, there is no sexual dimorphism in any of the mobs in that game

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Hey, you can call me Brook! I was wondering if I could get a match up for a couple fandoms?

I’d like Haikyuu, My Hero, Demon Slayer, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Obey me!

If these are too many, feel free to just pick a few out of them! I would really like one of them to be haikyuu though.

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Pan/Demi

Zodiac: Aquarius

MBTI: INTP

Appearance: 5’9”, chubby thighs and belly, hazel eyes, shoulder length brown hair (with blonde streaks), glasses

Personality: I’m pretty quiet. I am however very sarcastic and even witty. I keep to myself normally. I tend to stay out of people's business, and people stay out of mine (i prefer to observe). I’m a true neutral on just about everything. I like things to be calm most times, but a bit of chaos is definitely needed. I get bored quickly and need something happening around me constantly, just simple things like a show or music in the background. I don’t listen to most people, i like to do things my own way. i’m very stubborn. i’m very cold to people i don’t really know or like, once i open up though you discover my sense of humour and my general clinginess to the people i actually like (which is very few people).

Likes: Volleyball, badminton, sketching, anime, video games, the color purple, heated blankets, sweet foods and salty foods (never together), cats, the smell of vanilla, cold weather, the nighttime, napping in the day, when you go to bed for the night, music, candles, mangas, baking, the stars, space, snow days, science classes

Dislikes: Spicy foods, being told what to do, super hot weather, being woken up, homework, having to actually do things, cooking

Extras: Resting Bitch Face. looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll. my love languages are quality time and words of affection. im a picky eater. i love to complain.

If you aren't taking matchups right now, thats fine! Just ignore this!

Hi Brook! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. This is more than I usually do but I don't have a limit to how many matchups you can request so you're all good! I hope you like your matchups!

In Haikyuu, I match you with...

Nishinoya loves your quietly sarcastic personality. You make a good balance of loud and quiet but people know not to do anything that gets the two of you to gang up on them. You’re both equally sassy.

He appreciates that you’re there for him. He doesn’t really talk about important things a lot but when he feels the need, he’s glad you’re there for him, even if you're not a good listner.

Please play volleyball with him! He would love getting to share his biggest passion with the person he cares about.

Also loves sharing naps with you. I see Nishinoya as someone who has short naps through the day when he gets a quiet moment. It’s how he gets his seemingly unending energy. And he always sleeps best when you’re with him.

Star gazing dates! He doesn’t know much about the stars but he’s willing to learn. He knows a few good spots around town that have a nice view of the sky.

In My Hero Academia, I match you with...

Oh, the quiet, sarcastic duo you and Shinsou would be. No one stands a chance against you two.

Nap buddies! Some of Shinsou’s favourite moments are when the two of you are laying together, both on the verge of sleep and he gets to look over at your relaxed face. He feels honoured that you’re so comfortable around him.

I see his love language as quality time as well so you can be sure you’ll spend a lot of time together. Sometimes that time comes in the form of talking or doing things together. Other times, it’s just enjoying the silence together.

Please take him to a cat cafe. You’ll both have the time of your lives and become regulars there. The staff know your orders off by heart at this point.

I think Shinsou would be surprisingly good at cooking so he doesn't mind taking on that role in your relationship. He knows you don’t like things too spicy and will tailor any dishes to your tastes.

In Demon Slayer, I match you with...

Another quiet one. Giyu is so glad you’re in his life. He already has to deal with the other Hashira and the kids. He doesn’t need another loud person.

Enjoys spending quality time with you. He doesn’t get a lot of free time with his work but when he does get a day off, he wants to spend it with you.

Giyu does find your stubborn streak annoying at times. He’s got to know that telling you what to do doesn’t work so instead, he’ll suggest things when he thinks he needs to. Otherwise, he lets you do what you want. You’re capable of being responsible for yourself and he recognises that.

As strange as this is going to sound, he likes that you like the same smells. I see Giyu as someone who likes gentle scents like vanilla so he wouldn’t mind getting some incense sticks to place around the house.

Please bake things for him, especially if he’s going away on a mission for a while. He’d smile to see your cooking wrapped up in his bag for him to enjoy.

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

Another nap buddy! Layla’s sleeping habits only get worse when encouraged by your napping.

Appreciates that you stay out of people's business. She’s not a super nosey person herself so she’s glad you’re the same in that regard.

Layla enjoys watching your sketch things, she finds it relaxing watching the drawing unfold before her eyes.

If you ever draw her or give her one of your drawings, she’s going to pin it up on her wall so she can see it every day. It gives her motivation. You worked hard to make that, she can work hard as well.

With her cryo powers, you won’t have to worry about hot weather. If it’s getting too warm, she’ll just drop the temperature around you for some respite.

In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...

March is without a doubt the most outgoing person in this list. She’s the one to draw you out of your shell and bring out the best in you.

Really good with words of affection and quality time. She just somehow always knows what to say and will always make time for you.

If there’s something in your meal you don’t like, March is more than happy to eat it instead. She’s not picky about her food so she’ll eat pretty much anything you don’t want to.

There are definitely going to be stargazing dates with March. The Astral Express is one of the best places to see the stars but she likes looking at the sky on each new planet with you as well.

Definitely not someone to tell you what to do. March usually does her own thing as well, so even if she did want to tell you to do something, she’d feel like a hypocrite doing it.

In Obey Me, I match you with...

The ultimate nap buddy. You thought Shinsou and Layla were the perfect companions for a nap? Nope, Belphie takes that title.

You’re going to bond mainly over napping and your shared love of going to bed. But you have other similarities as well.

People know not to get on either of your bad sides. You’re very observant and they know what a power couple you are when you gang up on a shared enemy.

Dates in the observatory, looking at the stars. Belphie spends a lot of time there so he knows a bit about the sky. He’ll also keep track of meteor showers so he can take you to a lookout to watch them together.

He’s not great with words of affection but he’s good with quality time. Even if you’re both asleep, Belphie feels your presence and the warmth of being with someone he cares about.

oh I’m so happy for you ! a trip to Australia omggg that’s so cool !! Australia is such a beautiful country I also want to go there :’)

I miss you too </3 I’ve been busy with college lately and I’m tired lol but I have holidays soon so I’m trying my best to keep my head up.

On the 30th of September I saw aespa in concert !!! it was so much fun omggg,, and Sunday I’m going to the mcountdown in France, I’m going to see the dreamies again uhuhuh 😢😢*happy*

however nothing new for me, I’m broke because of these concert and I’ve gotta find an outfit for my cousin’s wedding (which happen to be in less than a month) , why it is so hard to find just a dress ☹️

Also I realized I didn’t told you but my nephew came back but I still haven’t finished TOTK lol…

🍭

AAAA i’m sorry for the late reply! i actually am in AUS right now so my time to do things for myself is pretty limited. hopefully when i get home things will get better time wise! but the experience is so nice and the vibe is so diff here in comparison to where i live!!! i would recommend going too! 🥲🥲

best of luck with college! is it exams period for you? it’s always important to get a lot of rest as that definitely improves things like retention and understanding. TAKE IT EASY, BABES! i know you’ll crush it, so don’t be too hard on yourself and also enjoy your holidays. 🩷

HOW WAS IT? tell me both about aespa and the dreamies!! i haven’t been online much so im so curious as to what’s been going on 🥹🥹 who else did you see during mcountdown?? man, i really feel you on that dress thing — i think getting something off the rack is a headache but its also such an expense to get something tailored. 😩 did you manage to get something you liked?? is there a theme?

you know what… fair !!!!!! i haven’t beaten gabon either and i have no clear intention to LOL IDK WHY but i always put off the ending for months! it’s not even that im scared it’ll be hard bc i don’t think it will be??? but i think ill never be able to purify the game if i dont have that goal looming over me… plus i just hate the gloom. you’ve experienced the gloom hands right????? they LITERALLY made me gag 😭😭😭

[lacunafiction]

i LOVED the ability to make it clear the MC has abandonmemt issues in how they respond to their grandfather!!!

my MC is sweet, nice, and shy though she tries to be friendly and dresses colorfully-- and i just loved the dissonance between that and her going "He wanted to take care of a dog but not me?"/"So he spent hours drawing me but refused to get into contact?" quite bitterly. i end up getting too into my character's heads, personally, (it feels like method acting but im not a good actor) and started tearing up at all the mentions the grandfather dropped about his grandkid, and by the time we got to the broken arm and i saw the blue ribbon story i just imagined my MC slamming the book closed bc she needed a minute and going "Don't write about me as if you actually cared about what happened to me" and i needed to take a minute away from the game to not cry further (i dont even have anyone in my life who left me or died like this, its not like this was a sensitive topic for me-- tho my ESA did come hurrying along and complaining loudly that i was crying and obviously in need of cuddles)

like i am FULLY engrossed in these potential abandonment issues; i think theyre so interesting and very well-written ♡ thank you for giving us some parental bitterness as a treat lmao

(also, i forget if this was mentioned in the beginning, but after grandpa gave the MC up, did he MC move in with other family members or were they put into the foster care system??)

woul it be spoilery to ask how the ROs face against loving a MC with abandonment issues?? if its spoilery to ask about how they react when its @grandpa specifically, may i ask how they fare when it affects their relationship??? like, MC is having a bad brain day and feels all sensitive and raw, and so they tearily asks the RO not to leave them to go out yet-- or the RO and the MC getting briefly seperated and the RO spots MC before the MC spots the RO, and so the RO sees MC's terrified and betrayed and kinda 'No no no no not again' expression like they've been ditched which does fade into pure (and a lil bit teary eyed) relief when MC does see the RO?? or any scenario youd wanna answer about concerning how parental abandonment issues emerge in a romantic relationship? if thats spoilers too, thats totally fine too ♡♡♡ i hope you have a great day!! and thank you again for the wicked customization, again, im absolutely adoring the ability to customize how the MC reacts to their relationship with their grandfather, youve polisher this excellently ♡

Hi Anon,

I hope you're doing well! 💚

Thank you for your kind words and I really enjoyed learning more about your MC, especially how the events in the update impacted both you and them.

The dissonance you mention is really interesting to read about--how your MC's reactions to their grandfather clashes or seem different than their typical kind/shy personality. Writing those choices into the game were important to me to give you all options to tailor the relationship; the choices you mentioned are contrasted by a more unfazed route or a MC who is possibly more forgiving (?) or trying to keep their grandfather in a positive light (e.g. the give an uncertain smile. 'the drawing is kind of...sweet?' choice), etc. There will be more choices as we go relating to him with what you learn presenting opportunities for you to change your opinion, stick to it, and so forth. I'm so glad you like that variety! :D

Hmm, I think I published an ask that alluded to that answer. Your time outside of Fernweh is not something I will get too specific about to allow for rp-ing. I will be mentioning childhood things and what happened right after the departure, but I will have to be vague for right now.

You are asking some really amazing questions and are thinking so deeply about the story! 😊 I am sorry to say that it is a bit spoilery to touch on those issues that may eventually come into play, or at least there may be options that allow you to touch on them. I will say that the ROs will handle it differently by offering support in different ways--they want to be there for you. 

You're welcome! I appreciate you sending this in and taking the time to play the demo.

Best wishes! 💚

Ask Answers: March 30th, 2021- Part 1

We’ve been really focused on getting the Step 3 DLC done and keeping up with asks kind of got away from me, aha. Thank you for waiting for a reply! We’re still definitely behind, but here’s a good chunk of responses!

I love Our Life so much but if the release of the step 3 dlc is in April, please don't "release" it on April 1, my poor heart can't take that prank 😭

Don’t worry! I’m horrible at pranks, haha. When we do post something specifically for April Fool’s it’s always to pretend it’s a joke when in reality it’s something we’re actually planning to do. But we don’t have anything like that arranged for this year. Any posts on April 1st will just be like normal.

Omigod, can you end the game in love with Cove but not in a relationship? My character stayed calm at the restaurant and Cove slept over at her home and I think I may have missed it. I'm delirious if I did, may never stop laughing. The children are idiots 

Haha, yes, it is possible to be in love and still not get into an actual relationship. There’s no forced ending where the two are made to confess their feelings and accept, it’s all optional/avoidable.

How can you see the new main character cut-in images? I'm not trying to be rude, but, all of my playthroughs, but I haven't seen them yet. (I know you can go through an entire game without seeing them, but I have went through multiple games.) 

It’s a bit of a spoiler to say here, but you can check out the guide we posted on Steam HERE!

Is it possible to win first place in the library quiz with Lizzy (Step 1 DLC) 

Yep, it is! Someone made a guide for the answers HERE (it’s also on Steam). We probably shouldn’t have required a perfect score to win a children quiz, but oh well, haha.

Hello!

In the future (in step 4) can you marry Cove even if you are friends? I would love to have a platonic wedding with him!

I’m afraid not. As much as he cares for the MC when they’re besties, Cove would only really want an official marriage if it’s based on romance.

Hello! I bumped into Our Life randomly last month, and it is one of the best coincidences I have ever laid on. I love how the choices and little details in the story changes throughout the game, and I'm excited to keep supporting you! I'm absolutely in love with Cove and would like to ask what keeps him to be especially interested in the MC? Other than how you can choose what fondness level you have with him, what ultimately leads him to be in sync with us? Sorry if it's a little much & thank u! 

Cove likes the MC because, regardless of the different personality traits you can give the MC, they meet him on his level, listen to him, understand him (even if you’re indifferent and not really close the MC still gets where he’s coming from), and if you’re fond/crush/love than you’re there for him. He finds the MC someone he can respect, trust, and, if they’re close, feel safe with. I’m glad you enjoyed the game!

hi there! for xoxo droplets i see the that female pronouns are used in the description, in the actual game can you change the pronouns or are they stuck as female? i'm aware the game is free, but i have a bad habit of buying dlc's before playing the game so it would be helpful to know before i spend money on it. if anything i'll save that money for more our life dlcs when they come out :D

XOXO Droplets does have a set MC. It’s the story of a specific person rather than a game about making your own story. All of our games prior to Our Life were about exploring MCs that were fully fleshed out people in their own right, so you can’t get the OL experience from what we did before. But we do plan to do more custom-style MCs going forward from here!

For the our life nsfw dlc, will you have to be in the patron to have it or  will there be another way for people who really support the game but can't pay to get it? 

I’m afraid not. We might put it up for sale somewhere other than Patreon someday (though never on Steam or Itch) since we know not everyone can use that site, but it will still cost money on any other hosting page we use. It’s unfortunately not a piece of content we can give away for free.

Hello! I finally got to play Xoxo Blood Droplets and it mentioned about a DLC coming out soon. Is it already out or are you still planning it?

We are still planning to finish it when we can, we just had to put it on hold because 2020 was a tough year and we needed to put all our focus on Our Life. There’s some of the extra DLC stories available for beta testing on the Patreon.

Is there a link to the soundtrack for Xoxo Blood Droplets? I really like the music in this game! 

That’s not available yet, but we’ll probably put it up for sale once the rest of the stories are done.

Would there be any chance for XOXO Droplets OSTs to be released in the future? (Please take my money-) 

We might! There are some things we wanna do and fix before we really start advertising XOXO Droplets things again, but hopefully it all comes together.

Why does Cove dislike Shiloh so much despite all of Shiloh's efforts to get along? I can understand his dislike for Lizzie, but why Shiloh? 

They met under bad terms (with an arranged play date he had no choice in), Shiloh’s sort of pushy himself when it comes to trying to get along, and Cove thinks he’s just kind of unusual in how he interacts/reacts with people. They don’t click, basically.

Is there a way to have your character be a tsundere? And have Cove toughened up a bit due to that? Sorry if the is a stupid question! ^^;

Maybe? The options in the game aren’t based on those types of personality tropes and I don’t know them well enough to say if you can accurately find a way to make it work with the available options. But it’s not a stupid question, I’m sure plenty of other people have considered something similar c:

do voiced names work only with their exact spelling? cause my mc is called Sophia and one of the voiced names is Soffia so i was wondering but if only works like that it's fine (sorry if i made any mistakes, english isn't my first language) 

“Voice” and “text” are separate! You can pick the “voice” you want and then type in whatever “text” you prefer. And your English is really good.

Will OL:NF be based on a season/break like the first game? Or some other type of setting? 

Our Life: Now & Forever takes place over the full course of Autumn. So, the start of school and then into the fall holiday season type of time period.

Will we ever see a jealous cove😭😭 please im begging u- 

Only in small ways, really. Sadly, I’m just not someone who enjoys jealousy in stories and therefore I don’t know how to implement it in a way that feels enjoyable. Maybe I’ll figure out a angle I can work with in future projects.

Do you have any plans with Our Life once step 4 has been released along with step 3's DLCs? 

After the Step 3 DLCs and Step 4 we’ll be releasing the Cove wedding DLC, the Derek romance DLC, and then the Baxter romance DLC. The project will likely be considered fully complete at that point.

Hello, I just needed to first of all sat how amazed I was when I discovered this game. I thought I would be disappointed by the lack of love interests, but you worked so hard to make sure Cove is the Best Boy for so many different people!! It really has been my comfort game for a while now, and I think all the different choices you allow make it the best romance game I’ve played in my life. The only problem is now my expectations for love are Cove level, and no one can live up to that. You’ve put so much consideration to make this game super inclusive and I think it’s amazing. If I can ask, for the exclusive NSFW Patreon dlc, will it only be available for the month it comes out? Or could I become a patron months later and still be able to download it. I just don’t have a job right now otherwise I would LOVE to subscribe to your Patreon and definitely will once I have the money again!! Thank you so so much for making such a lovely game that’s brought me so much joy.

&

Hiya! I'm so sorry for sounding like a complete degenerate for asking, but will the nsfw moment on patreon still be available even if i'm not a patron of the month it comes out? (e.g. i didnt pay/join the necessary tier before the moment is released) Thank you for your hard work on OL, I really connected with Cove in a way I never anticipated.

Thank you very much for such kind words! The Patreon DLC will be up for download on the Patreon indefinitely once it’s done. Just like the normal DLCs, you can pay to get it whenever you like but it won’t be up for sale until it’s finished. So take all the time you need.

Sorry to bother you guys, but there was an earlier ask detailing the OL LI's love languages and I was just wondering- Would that be for them personally, as in what they do, or the love language they enjoy receiving the most? Because I know for some people it's different for both on giving and receiving and was a bit confused, haha. Sorry for the trouble, your games are really nice!

For Cove and Derek it’s what they like to receive and what they give. For Baxter, it’s what he likes to get. What he gives is tailored to his partner. He’s flexible that way~ And it’s no trouble.

asking (and also fanning... fanboying? fangirling? fanpersoning? screw it- from a distance) anonymously because my confidence is nonexistent.

will you be doing a kickstarter for our life: now and forever? i know it's probably been asked and mentioned before, but will you be doing a kickstarter akin to the one done for our life: beginnings and always? if so, will you be doing similar tier rewards? (if you guys do so, i will [politely] throw my money at you).

now, to the fan.. personing? FAN. uhm. to the part where this anonymous agender idiot will begin to act as the fan they are.

THE GAME IS SO. SO NICE. IT'S CUSTOMIZABLE. I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT PART. AAAAA I ALSO ENJOY THAT YOU GAVE US THE OPTION TO JUST STAY BEST FRIENDS OR SOMETHING A8DBAIHEW- AND YOU INCLUDED AROS AND ACES IN THAT SEXUALITY CHOOSING PART- aaaAAA AND YOU MADE ELIZABETH FILIPINO- THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR CREATING SUCH AN INCLUSIVE GAME!!!

to summarize; will you be doing a kickstarter? and thank you for creating such a nice game. i, and likely the majority if not all of those who have played the game, am thankful.

Aw, thanks <3! I’m so happy it was such a nice experience for you. We are planning on having a Kickstarter for Our Life: Now & Forever. It’ll have similar rewards to the Our Life: O&A Kickstarter, but some changes will have to be made. Like, we’ll definitely need to increase the rate for getting a voiced name. Originally it was $3USD, which was super low for how much work it really took to add in a customized piece of voice acting, aha. Live and learn.

So sorry if you've already answered this, I looked but I couldn't find anything. Is the 18+ DLC coming out alongside the Step 3 DLC, or do they have different development timelines entirely? I'm so excited for all the DLC coming out in the future, and even though the release dates aren't out, I'm already counting down the days. :)

They have different development times and will come out separately. Despite taking place in the same Step period, they’re disconnected pieces of content and making progress on one doesn’t mean the other is closer to being finished. The normal Step 3 DLC is releasing first. It’s great to hear you’re looking forward to them!

Hey!! I'm absolutely LOVING Our Life! I have been pondering on one question though, what's Cove's ethnicity, if there is a set one? Or is it something we can Headcanon? 

&

hi hi! i wanted to say first of all that i absolutely adore our life. it's one of my favourite games of 2020, and i think it was just the perfect dose of positivity we all needed, even if you didn't intend to release it during such a hectic year lol! secondly, i wanted to say: if it's alright to ask, what ethnicity is cove? :-0 and what about his parents? i was just curious about it ^^)/ thank you!!

Cove’s mom, Kyra, is white. But his dad’s, Cliff’s, race doesn’t come up and players are able to headcanon it. So Cove is half white and half whatever you prefer Cliff to be! 

hello! there was a post on the patreon where you can run your fingers down cove's chest in errands - how do you get that scene? ♥ 

That was an old mistake on my part- you can only get that scene in the Ending rather Errands. You have to leave the big family dinner at the restaurant to go into the car, be dating Cove for a while, have Cove come see you there, and then mention using your hands when Cove makes a joke about hands.

in baxter’s dlc, is there any point where you can tell him about the previous renters of the condo? 

You can talk to him about that in the normal Step 3 DLC!

—– —– —– —–

Thank you for all the interest in our games everybody :D

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*･ﾟ: ☾

Confidence is Key

The castle was bustling with people, entering in and out at a fast pace. The chatter bounced off of the walls and high ceilings as orders were being shouted of where to take things and what to do. You stood in the middle of it all, unsure what to do with yourself. The room was spinning, your head was spinning. In just a few hours, music would be playing as people danced the night away. In just a few hours, you would meet a potential husband.

“Your Grace! You should be getting ready! We have things under control down here don’t worry. Go, go!” Sophia, head of castle affairs, shooed you away. She was clearly under an uncomfortable amount of stress.

“Is there anything you’d like me to help with? I don’t have to get ready quite yet,” you explained. Sophia shook her head violently.

“No no not at all Your Highness. You really must go get ready, Anita is awaiting your arrival,” she insisted. You sighed and did as you were told. You walked up the grand staircase and up to your quarters.

You didn’t mind helping, you often did when you could. Nonetheless, your role as princess called you other such duties. Those included getting ready for the ball in a different way.

“Oh there you are! I’ve been searching the whole castle for you!” exclaimed Anita. Anita was your lady-in-waiting. She was also your best friend.

“My apologies, I got caught up in the excitement of everything that was happening downstairs,” you explained. You laid down onto your bed, letting out a frustrated sigh.

“I don’t want to go tonight,” you admitted. Anita sat down next to you.

“The ball is for you after all. It would be quite silly if you didn’t show up to your own event,” she chuckled.

“No more complaints Y/N, you will go to the ball and you will enjoy it,” interrupted your mother. She bursted through the doors of your room, followed by other attendants to help you get ready.

“The ball isn’t even for me. It’s for him.”

“It’s for the both of you my darling. After all, we’re here to find you a husband, not play dress up,” replied your mother. You sat up and crossed your arms.

“Well you didn’t meet father until the fifth ball. Are you expecting me to sort through all of these princes or pick the first one I find?” You groaned. Your mother chuckled.

“I just so happened to meet him at the fifth ball. He could’ve been the first suitor and I still would have fallen in love with him.”

Whenever there was a princess of age, all eligible princes from neighboring kingdoms would come and present themselves in an attempt to win her hand. In this case, your hand was what they wished to win. A ball would take place for each prince, as to welcome them and for the two of you to get to know each other. There would be seven balls taking place.

“What if I go through all seven and don’t like any of them?”

“Then pick the one you dislike the least,” joked your mother, though you knew she was serious.

“Which prince is coming today?” You asked. Your mother smiled.

“He is known as ‘The Great Prince’ soon to be Great King. His kingdom of Aoba Johsai is farthest from ours, hence why his welcome will be first,” she explained. You nodded. You had met the prince once before, but when you were children. He was more of a sweet memory now.

“What is his name again?”

“His name, my dear, is Prince Toru Oikawa.”

~

After your mother had left you, you began to get ready. It was tradition for the welcoming kingdom’s prince or princess to wear the other sides colors, as a sign of respect. You had a beautiful dress made for the event. With silver crystals and white satin, you certainly would be the belle of the ball. You would wear a simple aquamarine diamond necklace to tie your look together.

You sat at your vanity as you applied the finishing touches to your makeup. It was almost time for you to head down to the ball. You could hear people arriving. Royalty, knights, dukes and duchesses, everyone would be here.

Anita cinched you up into your dress, making it a little difficult to breathe.

“I’m gonna be out of breath by the first dance if you go any tighter,” you laughed.

“I’m sorry Your Grace.”

Anita tied up the corset, followed by the actual dress. You went to look at yourself in the mirror. You looked beautiful no doubt.

“The prince would be silly not to fall for you,” smiled Anita. You sighed.

“Him falling isn’t what I’m worried about.”

You could hear the sound of violins from the ballroom as you stood outside of it, greeting everyone who entered. There had to be at least one hundred people inside, if not more.

“Oh Y/N I see him!” whispered your mother. She quickly organized your skirt and made sure your necklace was facing the correct way.

“Big smiles everyone.”

Standing before you were two men. You honestly had no idea which one was the prince.

“Your Majesties, I’m pleased to introduce you to Prince Toru Oikawa of Aoba Johsai,” said the shorter of the two. The prince greeted the king and queen before making his way to you.

“Your Highness...”

He took your hand, kissing the top of it. He certainly had grown up a bit since you had seen him last. His hair brown and fluffy, his eyes dark and hypnotic, his smile bright and flirtatious. He wore a perfectly tailored suit with his royal metals and a teal sash.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace,” you smiled.

“The pleasure is all mine Princess. Perhaps I may treat you to a dance later in the evening?” he smirked. You nodded.

“Until then.”

The two men parted into the depths of the ball.

“Oh he is so handsome Y/N!” your mother gushed.

“Not terrible...”

“Go mingle my dear! Get to know him!” she insisted. You sighed and went out to the floor.

You weren’t big on dancing. In all honesty, you weren’t big on fancy balls. They got old after a while.

“You don’t actually plan to just stand there all night, now do you Princess?”

You looked over your shoulder and standing next to you was Prince Toru.

“Of course not...”

“Did I mention that you look truly gorgeous tonight? My kingdom’s colors seem to suit you,” he smiled.

“Thank you Your Highness.”

“Just Oikawa please. Or Toru if you feel so inclined.”

“Fair enough Oikawa. Then please, it’s just Y/N,” you said.

“Well, I’m not going to pretend that I don’t know what’s going on. Your family planned this ball as for us to fall in love, am I right?”

Your eyes widened a bit and you looked up at Oikawa.

“You aren’t wrong. However I have a feeling it won’t be that simple,” you smirked. Oikawa chuckled.

“Oh Y/N, don’t hold yourself back from fawning over me. It’s okay, every girl where I come from does so.”

“I’m not every other girl Toru.”

Oikawa moved to stand in front of you. His tall figure bowed in front of you.

“Then may I have this dance. Let’s see if you dance better than every other girl.”

You stared at Oikawa’s hand in front of you. You took his hand carefully as he led you to the dance floor.

Oikawa had one hand on your waist as the other hand held yours. The two of you spun around in time with the orchestra’s strings that played.

“Not too bad,” he laughed.

“Well I’d hope not, this isn’t my first ball.”

“It is your first of the seven though, am I correct?”

“Right again Toru.”

“I suppose then that it is my job to make sure I’m your favorite out of the seven. I hope that when you think of me, you think that I’m the best you’ve ever had.”

Oikawa’s words were smooth and sultry. The way he spoke so clearly yet loud enough for only you to hear.

“You’ve got yourself convinced that I’ll be yours. That’s a dangerous game to be playing.”

“Oh Y/N, my dearest, I promise that I don’t feel threatened by those other six. I didn’t even bother to check who I was against, since it won’t be much of a competition.”

“So I’m the game?”

Oikawa’s eyes widened.

“Oh god no, not at all. You’re a crowned jewel, my love. The moment I saw you I knew that you could certainly cause the death of a bachelor.”

Your heart fluttered a bit at the sound of his voice. He was completely wrapped around your finger. Subconsciously, you knew that you were wrapped around his as well.

“You’re confident Toru. That’s an admirable trait.”

“I have to be if I’m going to run my kingdom one day. No one would follow after a weak king.”

“I suppose that’s why they call you the Great Prince, soon to be Great King.”

“You could even call yourself the Great Queen. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”

You chuckled.

“It certainly does. Well Toru, answer me this question: why should I pick you?”

Oikawa’s blank expression turned to a cheeky smile. He pulled you closer to him.

“Because, we have history Y/N.”

You had first met the prince when you were just 8 years old. Your family was invited to his kingdom for a banquet. Since you two were close in age, you spent all your time together. You enjoyed the small friendship you had with him. You were young and clueless after all. Oikawa had even said that the two of you should get married, since you were already friends. Your childish mind agreed, not knowing what the future had in store for you. So now here you were, dancing with your childhood love, in a ball made for just you and him.

“I didn’t think you remembered that,” you admitted.

“How could I forget the princess who blessed me with my first kiss?”

The young Oikawa had led you to the gardens. He insisted that if you two were to get married one day, you might as well get used to kissing each other. You agreed and so you kissed him. Your little lips maybe touched for a maximum of a second but still, his pink flushed cheeks were unforgettable.

“Well I’m happy to hear that I made some form of impact on you, Toru.”

“I hope I did the same. I plan to be the best you’ve ever had, remember?”

Before you could reply, the song had stopped and people began to shuffle off of the ballroom floor. Oikawa presented his arm for you to take, which you did happily.

“Excuse me Your Highness, I need to borrow the prince,” said the man who entered with Oikawa earlier. You nodded.

“That’s alright. Well, it was a pleasure Toru,” you said. Oikawa kissed your hand once more.

“Oh the pleasure was all mine Y/N.”

As the night came to an end, the ballroom soon became empty. You stood in the middle of it, alone. For some reason, you thought of Oikawa. How his charm seemed to have melted your coldness towards the situation. He had a certain glow to him, bringing out this warmer side to you.

“Even with the night finished you still look just as beautiful as when it started,” said Oikawa behind you. He stood at the top of the stairs as you stood below on the dance floor. Oikawa joined you, standing in front of you.

“I could say the same about you Toru.”

“I’m about to depart but I wanted to make sure to give you a proper goodbye,” he explained.

“Go ahead,” you said. Oikawa smirked, and slowly leaned in to kiss your cheek.

“I’ll be counting the days until I get to see you again, just as I did when we were kids. Goodnight Y/N.”

“Goodnight Toru.”

"𝗶 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗜𝗜"

-> headcanons, how they tell you they love you for the first time, part two!

characters: sakusa, iwaizumi, x fem!reader

warnings: fem reader, ✨healthy relationships✨, oikawa being oikawa

wc: 3.6K

a/n: WOAH okay uh did NOT expect that last set to be that popular,,,, y'all thirsty for love huh? me too anyway i thought id do a part two since i honestly really enjoyed writing the first set and my brain is vibrating with ✨thoughts✨ and seeing how much love it got really made me feel how i haven't felt in so long, so thank you! maybe ill turn this into a series so lemme know if u wanna see someone specific👀👀😏 also sorry for like posting and then dipping again lmao thats just my social media brand i have the attention span of a fucking worm

read part 1 here!

Sakusa Kiyoomi

okok i know its like common for sakusa to be shown as not interested in PDA (in private or public) unless hes feeling "needy"

BUT i believe that after a few weeks, maybe months if he's still unsure, he would definitely be much more comfortable with PDA

like, if its been a long time and your both serious about it and not just in a relationship to be in a relationship he starts to notice your routine

he notices the changes you make so that he's comfortable and so that you can be close to him without him being worried about icky yicky germy wormys (someone take away my thought privileges)

so now that he knows that you take care of your hygiene and exactly what you do for it, slowly he's wrapping an arm around you in 30° heat while you're both sweating

slowly he's "forgetting" his mask in the car for dates

slowly, but surely, he understands that a little bit of exposure, isn't a bad thing.

"kiyoomi?" your voice brought sakusa's eyes to yours where he could see the concern behind them.

"are you okay y/n?"

you'd decided, after three weeks of intense training and barely seeing your boyfriend, that you wanted just one day and one night with him. just the two of you, you know he'd never admit it, but he needed a break.

after atsumu decided to try out some new plays that didn't start off to well, sakusa had been silently groaning everytime he had to reach for something. he was excellent at making sure he wasn't overworking himself, and he wasn't, its just that the human body is an absolute wonder, and not in a good way. sometimes things that should have mildly injured you, left you with a tiny scrape, or a bruise or a very quick-to-fade red mark, and sometimes you drop a phone on your face and break your fucking jaw.

you offer him a gentle smile that completely washes away the concern in your eyes.

"im fine omi! but you," you reach your hands up to rest on both sides of his face turning his head side to side, studying it intensly.

"you're looking a little pale. and possibly grey."

"how do you mean y/n-chan?"

for such an intelligent man sometimes he really could be a himbo.

"i mean that i think you might be sick, baby."

sakusa stared blankly at you, as if he couldn't fathom the possibility of 'himself, sick?'

"omi? kiyoomi!" you nabbed his attention, "i think you're sick, and we best go home."

"but-" he started, but you were quick to cut him off knowing exactly what he was about to say.

"kiyoomi, it's inevitable. even if you were the worlds most decked out with ppe, and the worlds leading force in hygeine, you'd still end up catching a cold at least once. that's just how the world works baby. and don't worry about the date, all i want is to spend some time with you."

you ended up practically dragging your sad little puppy of a boyfriend back up the complex stairs and into his unit before settling him on the couch and getting to work.

"ill get you some water, you just sit here and relax. i don't want to think about what would happen if those dumbasses didnt have you there next week, bokuto and hinata would probably crack their skulls!" your attempt at a little light hearted humour helped sakusa forget for a moment, but he was quick to go back to not understanding how he was sick.

"thank you." he took the glass from your hand and rested it between his legs, when he noticed the rubber gloves you had clutched at your side. he knew what they were for, those were his cleaning gloves.

"what are you doing? you can't stay you'll..." he paused. "you'll get sick too."

"i'll be fine omi-omi! you just relax and drink lots of water, ill take care of this." you turned towards the wall with a soft smile before muttering, "ill take care of you."

sakusa watched you clean, the bucket full of diluted bleach, the duster, a cloth, and his cleaning gloves. he loved the way that they were too big for you, the way you kept having to pull them up every so often to keep them on. he loved the way that everytime he finished his glass of water, you were right there to fill it back up.

you don't even remember seeing, or hearing him lift himself from his spot on the couch and make his way over to where you were humming and covering the counters in the diluted solution. you felt a pair of big arms wrap around you, a chin on your shoulder and a kiss on your cheek.

"thank you, y/n. i love you."

thank god he caught a cold, or he might never have realized just how lucky he was.

Iwaizumi Hajime

family man

is a family man but not just ANY family man

yes, it's important to him that you like and respect his parents and vice versa

but its just slightly more important to him that you get along with his friends, his found family because im a SUCKER for the classic lilo n stitch trope

he knows that many people say that its his life and he doesn't need anyones approval etc.

but iwaizumi believes different, he believes that he doesn't need approval in the literal sense but rather approval through watching you interact with his friends and his family and how you do your best to learn about them and make time for them, even though you dont have to

and he thinks it's absolutely enthralling

the way your eyes light up when you see that book his mom has been talking about wanting to read and picking it up with no hesitation

how you're able to almost flawlessly keep up with issei and takahiro's antics while also making sure they don't go too far, something even iwaizumi struggles with

and most importantly, how effortlessly you connect with his childhood best friend.

there were many things that Iwaizumi Hajime enjoyed, volleyball, athletics, godzilla of course, spending time with three dumbasses (but he’ll never admit that) and a little while ago, he added you to that list.

you were so effortlessly able to connect with his team, his friends, and his family but most importantly, the way you were able to connect with Oikawa brought a smile to his face.

“oh, iwa-chan~, what are you admiring?” there he went again, Iwa thought, Tohru Oikawa’s dumb smirk and hyper awareness of his team, both on and off court. how he wated to head-butt him in the face. but, he showed restraint. after all, he wouldn’t want loserkawa to use you as a human shield from his head. so, he ignored the urge. but it passed as soon as he saw tohrus arm arond your shoulders, crossed feet and leaning on you ever so slightly while he took a few occasional swigs from his water.

and just like that, the incredible restraint vanished like morning mist.

you could practically see the steam coming off of his hot skin, and the vein popping out of his forehead, when you noticed what had him so heated. “trashykawa get your filthy hands off of my girlfriend!”

“excuse me!” he pouted, “my hands are clean and tailored! just like any responsible setters would be!” he stuck his lip out farther and gave you his irresistable puppy-dog eyes. “y/n-chan, i’m not filthy! am i?” he whined.

and, as the word suggests, his look was truly irresistable and you stumbled over your words. “n-no! of course not tohru!”

“see, iwa-chan! y-n thinks i’m squeaky clean!” his dumb smirk appeared again, and rather than continue with flirtykawas obvious games, Iwa opted for the less violen approach.

“don’t flatter yourself, dirtykawa. she’s just being nice.” he growled. “I’m done for the day, i have a project due. y-n.” he offered his hand to you like the gentleman he is not forcing you to take it, but the look in his eyes told you that he wanted you too.

“see you later, tohru!” you gave him a quick hug and intertwined your fingers with iwa’s.

now, technically, girls aren’t allowed in the boys locker room but since it’s after hours and just you and iwaizumi no one cared. to be fair though, literally no one knew except the team so, whatever you didn’t complain you got to watch yout ultra ripped boyfriend change. quality time. you thought, when you noticed him mid-change with his shirt over his head, resting on his arms. as any good girlfriend would, despite the devil on your shoulder, you came up behind him placing your hands on his seriously broad shoulders. taking notice of the tension, you started to work at the muscles. your care was quickly rewarded with a quiet sigh, and relaxed shoulders.

“hajime?” you continued rubbing at the tight fibers, “are you alright? you’re usually the one telling me im holding too much tension.” you giggled and he turned to face you placing one hand against the side of your face.

“hajime?” it came out shaky and worried.

“i’m okay,” he smiled “it’s just,” hesitation. he was never one to hesitate.

“i know i have no right to be but seeing oikawa so clingy with you it just, i dont know, it really gets to me i guess? he, just, he gets all the girls, all the attention, and i don’t want to-” you stopped him.

“sweetheart, it’s okay to be jealous or upset i’m not going to be angry, you have a right to your feelings. I understand how you feel, i never mean to flirt with him, if i ever have, i mean i don’t know, you know how bad of a flirt i am,” he chuckles at that. “it’s just that i know how important he is to you and you are so, so important to me and i want to be able to understand whats important to you, so you never have to choose between us, because that wouldn’t be fair. i love you, hajime iwaizumi, and everything about you.”

you expected him to be shocked, hell, he thought he would be shocked when or if you said it, but he wasn’t. and that’s exactly how he knew what to say next.

“i love you too, y/n l/n.” pressing a soft kiss against your lips.

“geez, it only took you two a century and forever.” someone snarked.

hajime chucked a towel at him “get out assykawa!” and he did, he bolted through the door laughing like the demon matchmaker he thought he was.

[pbandjesse]

Is my whistling just a nighttime or at home thing now? Two nights in a row where I don't whistl all day and then I come home and its so loud!! Why!!

It was a pretty good day though. I had fallen asleep last night around 930. Before James even came to bed. Whoops. I apparently needed it. But I still felt a little loopy from my flu shot.

I felt very cute today though. I was nervous about going to camp. But it was actually a good day.

I had a long drive out. About 45 minutes. And I missed my turn as soon as I got there so I had to loop around. But it was okay. I beat all the other counselors.

I met Amanda and she was very nice. We had a good chat. I could feel myself not being on my best game, but I tried. It was a weirdly weirdly cold day. Like I was legit freezing. I had my windbreaker in the car and its the only thing that saved me until late late in the afternoon when the wind finally calmed down.

I liked the kids a lot. It was a very small group Ony 17 kids spread over 3 groups. So we had 7 for most of the day. I was with the youngest group and they were very fun. I started with the first kids that came drawing them pokemon on sticky notes and having lots of laughs. Then I played uno with another little group. I won. It was very fun.

The first program was a science lesson where they built with legos to make something that could travel down a string like a ski lift. Amanda told me and the other counselor, Megan, to take a break during this time. Taking a break first thing doesn't exactly make any sense but okay. So I sat to the side and enjoyed the little bit of warmth from the sun.

Next was their sport hour. They played soccer with the sports teacher. I don't run so Megan played with them and I sat in the grass with the kids who didn't want to play. We played with my binoculars and then they had me lay down and buried me with grass. Which was very silly. Then we buried 3 other girls. And it was very silly and fun.

We wet back to the science area to build legos that wouldn't break when you dropped them, the older kids got parachutes for theirs. And then we watched them get thrown off a building.

Amanda made a weird comment to me that I hadn't "been hanging out with the kids". And that they like when we talk to them. And Im like ?????? So I went to Megan after and was like. Hey that was weird right? And she was like yeah you've literally been hanging out with the kids the whole time. I said it was maybe because she thought I was a kid getting buried with the grass? And then Megan found out I was 30 and shes only 16 and she was like I need to know everything about you. And it was very cute.

The rest of the day was pretty good. I played in the dirt with the kids. I wished I actually knew any of the camp songs by heart, I think they would have liked them. I just don't know how to start them. But I told them stories and asked about their lives and I think I still did good.

We would take them to the splash pad after lunch. I liked putting my feet in the water. But mostly I just watched them. I did get a little bit of sunburn on my arms and ankles. First time I got burnt all summer!! Annoying.

The afternoon warmed up and I enjoyed sitting in the beach chairs and watching the kids. Me and one of the little ones found a big beautiful moth. Took them to a tree to let them go. And finished up the day with popsicals and coloring. It was a nice day honestly.

I had the last couple kids by myself. I played tether ball with them, which is something I don't know if I have ever seen in real life but I actually really enjoyed. Would play again. And then walked the last kids to their dad before I headed home. I was excited to get out of there.

I thoroughly enjoyed my podcast on the way home. And it was almost perfectly timed to when I got back here. I brought my stuff inside and was excited to see I had a package.

It is the $115 dress (with shipping) mom found. Its by the designer of the dress I really liked at the store. And it is a little dirty and needs to be tailored. But guys its like. So good. Its a little tighter in the hips then I think I had pictured but its actually so nice. Im really excited. I think this is the dress Im going to wear. Amazing.

I have spent the rest of the afternoon cutting my new business cards. I had a quesadilla. I enjoyed James's company. We emailed a photographer for the wedding. I painted my toes and took off my nail polish.

And now I am clean and in bed. I am nerovus about my first day back at the museum tomorrow!! But I think it will be fine. I get to do a little bit of everything. A needles program, a tour, and working in the cannery. Im most nervous about the tour. I need to walk through the museum because I don't know how all of my information is going to come out. Its been over a year!! Its crazy. But I am excited.

I hope you all sleep good tonight. Take care of yourselves! Wash your hands!!

tdmm mafia AU

Note: hello everyone!! im back with more tdmm ...written fast and for the hell of it I thought wow since i’m playing a mafia game...im getting tdmm vibes...so here it is. I dunno if there’ll be a part 2, probably? Enjoy!

Momo is a preschool teacher that had just started working at the school in her neighbourhood. Her longtime friend and roommate, Jirou, works in the same school as a music instructor. To Momo’s dismay, Jirou had tried many times before to match Momo up with someone. “You’re beautiful and smart…I really don’t see why anyone would reject you!” Jirou had always said. Momo laughed every time and told her friend how she wasn’t looking to date.

“Now you and that guy…Kaminari –“

Jirou cuts her off immediately and the round of teasing stops with Jirou blushing from ear to ear.

Truth be told, Momo hasn’t met anyone with whom she felt particularly attracted to just yet. It’s also a known fact that after 8 p.m. no one would dare go out, in case they got caught in the crossfire between the different families of the mafia that ruled the city. Every single night she’d hear bangs and booms outside her window. Curiosity got the better of her and she’d peek through the curtains to see blood splatters and sometimes even bodies being dragged towards the alley. Momo shuddered, flashbacks of her parents being captured, never to be found, once again flooding through her memory. She still hasn’t discovered their whereabouts but surely she will, even if it cost her her life.

Aizawa is a close family friend of Momo’s, once a disciple of her father’s and now a great private eye. He occasionally contacts Momo and makes sure she knows some of the discoveries that he encovered about Momo’s parents. One day, he tells her that he’s been getting some leads but was unwilling to share more than that.

“It’s to protect you,” Aizawa would say every time. Momo was frustrated and decided to follow him that very night. It wasn’t easy that’s for sure, with Aizawa being such an experienced investigator.

After twisting and turning and driving through back alleys, she ends up at the pier in front of what looked like a drug trade!

Momo is standing quite close to the dock, and she was freezing. Should’ve brought a scarf or something, she thinks. She watches closely….Aizawa was across, glaring at someone who she recognized straight away. It was the leader of the Shigaraki family…Shigaraki Tomura.

But wait a minute. Momo looks to the left and sees 3 younger men, around her age, standing there in expensive tailored suits. The green haired one whispered something to the peculiar white and red haired man. They were the other party involved in this trade? They look way too young to be mafia!

In the corner of her eye, someone else caught her attention. A familiar face hovered somewhere on one of the boats and she gasped. Was that…her father? Her eyes teared up. No way. This must be a joke or something. She could see Aizawa having the same reaction and it was then she knew it was real. Her father looked solemn, aged so much that she hardly recognize the gentle eyes he once had. Was he working for Shigaraki now? What was going on? The fear crept up her spine and she held onto a nearby crate to steady herself, except of course the worst situation happens…the crate tips over and crashes 3 ft below where she was.

“WHO’S THERE?” Momo sees Shigaraki usher his men over as the noise startles the crew. All of them were holding guns and running. They had seen her!

Oh no. This was NOT good. Momo rushes down the platform. Even if she could stay alive after this ordeal, Aizawa would murder her!

Momo bit her lip, trembling as she ran across to where she had parked her car, bullets were wheezing past her now. Good thing their aim is worse than stormtroopers, which is saying something.

Her legs weren’t moving fast enough and her ears were ringing from anxiety. Before she could reach the pavement, a car zooms past her. The window is down and the same green-haired man that she saw earlier commands her to go in the car.

“BUT..BUT…I don’t ---“ She doesn’t finish. A bullet scrapes past her cheek and bounces off the car door.

A blond man wheels down the passenger window. “HURRY THE EFF UP WOMAN. YOU GOT A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHIN’?” Momo had no choice, she wasn’t about to get gunned down before she could meet her father again. Mustering all her courage, she hops into the car. These 3 strangers could kidnap her or worse but she tries not to think too much.

She hears herself sigh in relief when the car speeds out across the bridge. A full five minutes pass without anyone saying a word, she knew the three younger men had saved her from certain death but somehow she didn’t know if she should be thankful. They ARE mafia after all…who knows how many people they had murdered?! Are they going to hurt me, she thought, and she finally looks up.

The first thing that greets her were heterochromatic eyes, very steel cold, as if she was staring into a mirror.

“You okay?” The man asks, “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. But you better stay with us for awhile.”

Momo scrunches her brow in confusion. “Stay with you?” She repeats.

The blond one scoffs. “Do ya hafta ask, Todoroki? Just drop her off somewhere and let her find her way home.”

So, he was the infamous Todoroki?!

The girl immediately eyes the man in front of her. He was so close she could smell his perfectly gelled hair.

“You’re the boss of one of the biggest mafia families here,” Momo says, “I…I…”

She couldn’t finish. Her mouth was dry and staring at his face….okay he was handsome, she had to admit. Momo was slapping herself inside. He could’ve killed thousands of people in the past year and she wouldn’t know! She had morals. Right?

“You mean, THE biggest mafia families around? Yes.” The green-haired one answers while driving, “I’m Midoriya by the way, nice to meet you. The yapping one is Kacchan.”

What a cute nickname, Momo notes.

“He means Bakugou, the murdering KING of EXPLOSIONS,” The blond refutes and made idiotic hand gestures as if things were being blown up.

Momo couldn’t read the atmostphere at all. It was almost like they weren’t part of the mafia.

Todoroki finally clears his throat and speaks. “You should take my offer. If you want to live, the only way for you to stay safe is within our estate. Shigaraki saw your face. He’ll have men hunting you down in every part of town. He has people in the government, the police force….you name it.”

Momo thinks for a bit. Jirou would be worried if she doesn’t come home…and living with these strangers, how would she ever feel ‘safe’?

“We’re here,” Midoriya says. Momo looks around and sees their estate, bodyguards lining the yard, fences all around. Reminded her of her childhood.

Midoriya opens Momo’s door and she follows the men inside.

The house is decorated with modern art, very contemporary which was something Momo had not expect. Todoroki leads them to one of the rooms and offers Momo some tea.

“Thanks,” Momo takes the cup and says but all should do was shakily place it down on the endtable beside her. She wasn’t feeling like drinking anything. Who knows if it was poisoned.

Todoroki reads her mind and pours some for himself. He takes a sip.

“It’s not laced with anything, miss.”

“It’s Momo.”

“Ah…Momo,” Todoroki sits down beside her while Katsuki snickers, “Can you tell us why you were at the port.”

Momo hesitates and bites her lower lip. She felt herself tremble again.

“I was there because…I was looking for someone. For something. I wasn’t sure what, but trust me. If you’d let me go, I won’t say a word about tonight. Nothing at all!”

Todoroki puts a hand on her shoulder and she backs away. She wasn’t going to let anyone touch her.

“Sorry,” The white and red haired man notices her anomosity, “We can’t let you go. You know too much and now that Shigaraki’s seen you, he’ll have you dead in a matter of minutes. Let us at least help you. What were you looking for?”

Momo breathes hard. No, this was not happening, she had to get home!

“My friend…Jirou, please at least, let me call her?”

Todoroki eyes Midoriya and the green haired man nodded.

“I’ll make you a deal, Momo. You can call her tomorrow, but for now, let Midoriya show you to your room and you can rest up.”

~~

Midoriya takes her to a suite, and as if reading her mind, he takes her phone and leaves her with some toiletries and water.

“Let me know if you need anything else,” he had said before closing the door. Momo sits silently and curls up in the unfamiliar bed. Hoping this was all a bad dream.

~~

The next day proves to her that the dream continues. She had phoned Jirou right away when Todoroki hands her back her phone after breakfast with the 3 of them. She barely had appetite but watching Bakugou and Midoriya’s bicker was entertaining and she had learnt that they were both childhood friends of Todoroki’s who ended up being taken in by Todoroki’s dad due to their parents passing away when they were young. After Todoroki took his father’s spot and lead the group, Bakugou and Midoriya became his right-hand men and advised him whenever he needed. It was almost endearing, Momo had thought, their friendship.

Was she crazy? Clearly she was supposed to be sickened by them. They were criminals for Pete’s sake!

Fast forward. Right now she stands shaking, hugging Jirou in the middle of their apartment. Jirou’s cry becomes a whimper as the bloody dead body lays flat beside their couch. Todoroki had shot that man dead when Momo found out her friend had been held hostage in their apartment when Shigaraki’s man, and not Jirou, had answered the phone. Stumbling inside just 5 minutes earlier, Momo saw Jirou tied up to a chair with eyes widening in alarm. Momo called out to her friend and Shigaraki’s man attacks her before Todoroki came and stood in front of Momo just the right second. Next thing she knew, he had shot him dead.

“Everything’s okay now Jirou, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault!” Momo says and she could see her friend’s confusion through her wet eyes.

“They’re mafia, I have to stay with them to keep us both safe,” Momo notes and pats Jirou on the head.

“How would they keep you safe Momo?!”

Todoroki sighs. “With this man dead, it acts as a warning to Shigaraki. Don’t worry, I’ll have bodyguards watch over this place.” He makes a signal to Midoriya and Bakugou and the two rolls the man in a carpet and drags him out. “They’ll take care of the body. I’ll get you a new carpet if you’d like.”

Jirou could only slump against Momo while the latter attempts to explain what she could to her.

She wasn’t even sure if Jirou was paying attention.

“Relay the message to Aizawa please. Let me him I’m safe and I’ll call him when the time is right.”

~~

The next few weeks go by with new events, one more absurd than the other. For one thing, Todoroki proposed a plan with her so she could still go out in public (with guards of course) but with additional safety measures.

“You’re now my fiancee.”

Momo blinks.

“What?”

Todoroki sighs and repeats again. Bakugou was curling up laughing at her reaction.

“Oh I FEEL BAD FOR YA. HAVE TO BE ‘IN LOVE’ WITH THIS FCKING LOSER.” Bakugou keeps laughing and Momo keeps silent.

“Being my fiancee gets you immunity. It’s a rule. Mafias don’t mess with each other’s family members. It’s unspoken but stands true.”

Momo could only nod.

And so the next several nights, she goes out with Todoroki on dates and parties. Galas become a pasttime and in some ways, she starts feeling….something for him.

No, nononono, Momo you cannot fall in love with him. No matter how nice he is to you. No matter how …charming he is!

Sometimes they’d even do the fake ‘kiss on the lips’ for people to see and oh God, Momo’s mind swirls every time. There’s girls she could see eyeing her like she was a target. There’s no doubt, they want to be the one in her ‘pretend’ shoes.

One night at a dinner party, Momo sees Todoroki standing really close with a woman about their age. She was gorgeous, blonde, tall, overall very model-esque. She feels her face heat up and locks eyes with him as their dialogue continues. Momo gasps and quickly runs back to her seat at dinner.

When Todoroki comes back, she feels herself distancing away.

This is all for show, Momo. He doesn’t actually love you and you’re not his actual fiancee!

He watches her eat and tries to make conversation and she shys away.

“Is something wrong?”

Momo ignores him.

Todoroki scrunches his brow and grabs her hand as she stands up.

“I need to use the powder room if that’s okay.”

“Momo, you can tell me if I made you upset in anyway.”

The girl still doesn’t look at him. “Why don’t you find company with the pretty lady over there. She seems overly pleased to have you around.”

Todoroki gives her hand a squeeze. “You’re jealous? Of her?”

“Of course not! That’d be…that’d be silly!”

He stands up and wraps an arm around her. Todoroki’s eyes were so captivating that in so many ways, Momo couldn’t help but to listen to what he had to say.

He leans in to whisper. “There are a lot of people here. Lets talk out in the garden.”

[dolphin-enthusiast]

ahhh it is embarrassing how my siblings find me in the most candid moments,, i'm just glad that the video didn't spread too far among my friends,, because i know for a fact that if it reached far enough, someone would end up posting it here!! at least they always threaten to do so... 😖💫 oh my, and morgy dear, you are one sly fox, don't think i missed where you called my existence "ethereal" in tags... you are way too sweet to me!! but really, the only thing ethereal here is you~ 💞 (2/9)

"i started watching playthroughs of the ace attorney games today (since i can't afford to buy any of them) and i really enjoy it so far!! i can't wait to watch more, and this coming week, i plan to set a day aside to watch more of our show 😉 (3/9)

ooh, something quite funny has happened today,, i put out this question on instagram asking if any of my friends want to go out for dinner with me sometime (since i was bored and i think it's a nice idea hehe) and now i have TONS of people saying yes!! oh gosh, it's quite crazy! i feel bad for it but i think i have to pic just a few people, since the amount of contenders is overwhelming,, ahhhh i do hope they'll take it well!! 😅 (4/9)

today was spent working,, tailoring clothes and cleaning the house to be exact,, it was all so tiring, and unfortunately i was the only one who was able to do it since everyone else was "busy",, mamma mia,, but i did end up having to do more food shopping today, and it started to storm super hard while i was out! i am scared of thunderstorms, so being out and about during one is truly a nightmare for me!! (5/9)

they are so beautiful but terrifying at the same time,, oh gosh, it was even worse since i was out by myself,, no one to latch onto for safety 😖 i think the thunderstorm may be related to a hurricane that is incoming towards my country,, it most likely won't hit as bad in the north (where i am) since the storms tend to die down and wash out in the atlantic by the time they reach here, so we'll probably just get more thunderstorms,, (6/9)

though in return, we get these awful storms that we call nor'easters, which are basically wintry hurricanes they are truly awful for me to live through since i do not do well with cold at all,, my friends and i actually got caught in one by accident last year, and we were stuck outside for 3 whole hours... ah that was such a scary situation!!!!we all ended up going to the hospital to get checked out since we were trapped for so long... (7/9)

everyone i know in person always talks about how we're "survivors", but i'm not sure if that's the right term to use... i guess it's the law of equivalent exchange? a hurricane for a nor'easter hehe ☁ speaking of storms, when the rain died down, i went to check on the bunnies,, and the poor cuties were soaked and shivering! i offered them my raincoat and umbrella to stay under, but i guess they were desperately cold, to the point where they cuddled up to me! (8/9)

i ended up laying there for half an hour, trying to warm the little bunbuns up,, and even though i came home shivering myself, i'm so happy that sacrificing my body heat was enough to help them!! 😊 oh my stars, i feel the tiredness hitting me, I guess that means sleepy time hehe! goodnight dolcezza, i'll see you tomorrow!! sending sweet dreams your way 💕 - love always, your adoring waifu 💋🌺💘💌🌠 ps: we must definitely go out to dinner together,, no if's and's or but's about it~! 😘 (9/9)"

Ok so before i say anything else tungle mighr have eaten the first part to ur letter and im boutta throw fists 🗿🗿🗿🗿 but either way i gotta say darling my eyes read over the words "sly fox" and i immediately c r e a s e d jhdusuxhdjs im only stating facts alright🤪🤪🤪 it wouldn't be the first time someone calls me sly but i take that as a compliment really👁️

And before we dive d e e p e r lemme tell u a lil secret....i myself did not buy the aa games so if u acc want to play em hmu👀👁️👀👁️

Ok so as for the storms thing i gotta say thats fuckin wild ur life really does sound like a move darling u know rhshxhd i do know its esp bad lately from another american friend of mine who told me that it also heavily rained in her area (she's on the east coast) so🗿🗿🗿 but ig u would be called survivors since technically u made it thru a natural disaster which is fuckin w i l d

Its nice to see that u were more productive again ofc (and also u warming those poor bunnies up? Icon 11/10 disney princess right fuckin here) but i gotta say once more idk how u do it....i'd be burning up the house when attempting to cook and shredding the clothes in less than a second🤡 my day was spent writing (smth non jojo related) then i went out and played football until my legs gave in and pain shot thru my entire body since my dumbass can go at it for h o u r s completely ignoring if i scrape some skin or shit like that just bc i wanna push thru and keep playing a h a

On another note, im p sure ur friends would all want to go out w u (i myself the most but shh) 👁️

Devil’s Ballroom ch.2

A year after the events from the earth’s final attack, Little Homeworld is finally complete, and there’s a new jazz bar where gems and humans mingle and drink. - As you’re typing back a reply, someone pulls the stool out next to you and takes a seat. You see a sliver of pink out of the corner of your eye as you try not to actually Look. Oh god. It’s her. God can’t help us now.

Spinel/Reader

collab with wife @firstofficertightpants

The place actually happened to be like, right on the edge of Little Homeworld. Outside had full glass windows, tall, that reached the ceiling. Inside the lighting was dim, and a bit smokey. You figured it looked alright enough to head in, and gave the bouncer your ID. He nodded and you walked in. It smelt of cigars, and of cinnamon, and it wasn’t entirely unpleasant. A pretty woman in a low-cut red dress was playing the piano on the stage, and it was some contemporary jazz piece. The low murmur of people talking filled the air in between the swells of music, and the place actually seemed busy with people and even gems enjoying themselves. You liked the vibe. It was.. comfortable. At ease. You looked over at the bar, rather than any of the tables, and saw a spot near the end. Perfect. Right by the bathroom. You headed over and plopped down on the stool. There were three empty at the end, so you took the one in the middle, which had the best view of the stage from back here.

While waiting for the bartender to come back down this side, you took the chance to look  at the people around you. A couple familiar faces.. small town you know? And some new ones. New gems too. You can see Mr. Fryman sitting at a table with Kofi and Nanefua, and they look like they’re playing poker. You try not to snicker since Kofi looks absolutely blasted, and Mr. Fryman is cursing up a storm because Nanefua is clearly winning. You see her wink at Mr. Fryman. You suspect a rigged game.

Your phone chimes a couple times. You pull it out of your bag, and check to see who’s bothering you. Ah. The group chat.

    Alex: ughhh you guys my gmas killing me

    Alex: no seriously mexico fucking blows rn 

    Alex: i cant step outside without feeling like my balls are melting off my body

    Alex: and my brother won’t stop listening to the book of mormon soundtrack

    Alex: im going insane

Your friends are so melodramatic. You type out a couple of replies.

    Y/N: You should be used to mexican summers by now, you go every year.

    Y/N: And for the record, your brother is valid. Book of Mormon slaps.

    Alex: what the fuck youre supposed to be on my side u ass

    Alex: i thought our special thing was wicked. OUR SPECIAL THING, Y/N

    Y/N: I’m allowed to like multiple things. Including musicals. 

    Alex: never. fuck you. also what are you even doing rn come play minecraft with me

    Y/N: Yeah as much as I’d like to, I can’t.

“Y/N! So you finally came to see what this place is all about! What can I get ya?” you hear a familiar voice ask. Turning around to face the voice, you see Bismuth wearing her usual overalls and a rather nice looking bow tie. 

“Hey Bis, how’s it going? I like what you’ve done with the place. It’s nice. And uh, I’ll just take a hard cider for now.” You smile at her and set your phone down for a minute.

“Thank you! After we finished Little Homeworld, I had to find something else to focus on in my down time.” She explains while grabbing your drink from the fridge under her side of the bar, and opens it. “So tell me,” She sits the drink in front of you and leans on the counter. “What brings you out here today?”

You take a rather long sip from your drink before meeting the large gems eyes. On the stage, a tall, beardy man replaces the woman that just finished her piece. He immediately starts this jaunty, irish tune. He’s singing loudly, and it’s not bad. A couple of people are clapping to the tune.

“I just really needed to get out.” You replied, taking another sip from your drink. “I was kinda hoping I’d meet someone new, maybe get another friend to hang out with, since my friends wanted to ditch me this summer.” As you’re saying this, more people join the clapping. It’s getting a bit rowdy. “Or maybe at least get drunk enough to forget how lonely I feel.” You add, shrugging. 

“Well, I can supply the drinks, and at least a bit of company.” Bismuth winks, and turns to the patron 6 seats up waving her over. 

You check your phone again, and there’s more from Alex. AND Harper? She must still have phone service wherever she’s at.     Alex: what are u fuckin doin that so important that u cant play minecraft with ur best friend

    Harper: yeah, Y/N. the heck. Also alex, get lost, she’s MY best friend bitch

    Alex: u had ur chances but u left us so we’re a duo now. u can go

    Harper: excuse me!? I WILL end you.

    Y/N: Oh my god, chill. I’m just out right now, so I can’t okay? 

    Y/N: And nice of you to join us, Harper.

    Harper: fuck you I miss you okay. And I miss constant wifi :(

    Alex: OUT!? What do you mean OUT. its night. u play games with ME during this time

    Alex: for real what the fuck are you doing

    Harper: yeah, you don’t go out without us. Wtf are you doing?

    Y/N: I’m at a bar!!     Alex: WHAT

    Alex: dont tell me its the one place that just opened

    Alex: Y/N do NOT betray me you TOLD ME you were gonna go with me!!

    Y/N: I was. But I was also bored and you’re both gone, soooo. 

    Alex: wow

    Alex: i cant believe youve done this to me

    Harper: hmmm. ;)

    Harper: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ;)

    Y/N: What.

    Harper: you tryin to find girls again? 

    Harper: like that one time you went to empire city just to peruse the mall?

    Alex: LMAOOOOO

    Y/N: No.

    Alex: LMAOOOO Y/N GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND A GF LOLL

    Y/N: I’m not trying to find a girlfriend you fucks. Christ.

    Y/N: Also Alex, you’re one to talk. You can’t KEEP a girlfriend.

    Alex: ur just mad i have a passionate and intimate relationship w/ my hand

    Y/N: And it will probably stay that way. 

    Y/N: Besides, so far, no one cute here. So it’s a bust.

    Harper: a bust. Lmfao u just outed yourself :)

    Y/N: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

You put your phone down before seeing whatever Alex attempts to reply back with. It sounds like the current boisterous song is coming to a close, and really, most of the people here are clapping along with this guy. It’s fun. And despite the playful ribbing from your shit-talking friends, you’re starting to have a nice time. You finish your drink, and nod over to Bismuth who catches your eye and nods back. You look over onto the stage, the man having cleared the piano, and see Lapis wiping down the piano and seat. Guess he spilled his drink while playing. Lapis, unlike Bismuth, actually dressed up a bit for the job. Her hair was pulled in a cute, small bun, and she was wearing what looks like a tailored tux with no jacket. The vest fit her quite well. She seemed.. happy. Good for her.

No one had taken up the stage again yet, but the place was still lively with chatter. You see someone out of the corner of your eye move towards the stage, but Bismuth comes over again so you tear your gaze away. 

“Another cider? Or do you want something else this time, Y/N? She asks, cleaning a glass with a rag, and moves on to the next one. 

“Ehh, yeah, give me another cider.” You say as you pull out your phone again. Bismuth sets down the drink in front of you.

    Harper: what a goddamn disaster. she got that from me i think

    Alex: no, youre both disasters separately

    Y/N: Fuck you guys. Give me a break.

You hear the piano start to play again, and someone pulling the mic forward. You look up to see pink hair.. And someone kind of familiar. She’s wearing black slacks, a white collared shirt, and suspenders. The shirt is partially open, and you see part of a pink gem showing through on her chest. It looks like she’s got mascara running down her face. 

And then.. she starts to sing. 

It’s lovely. It’s slow and a bit sad, but she seems to be enjoying herself. She’s definitely done this before. Quite a few of the people around quiet down some, so you can hear her pretty clearly. You drink some, and text your friends.

    Y/N: Guys, I lied. There’s a cute gem here who can sing.

    Alex: holy fuk

    Alex: what

    Y/N: She looks kind of familiar though? I can’t quite place it though.

    Harper: dude theres like near 100 gems now in little homeworld lol

    Harper: you’ve probs seen most in passing? :P

    Alex: are you serious Y/N? cant flirt with human women so u turn to aliens? lmfao

    Y/N: Ohhhhh my god. Die.

The gem on stage sings the chorus with gusto - man she’s really getting into this. You’re kind of taken a bit with her performance. It just pulls you. But also.. She really seems familiar now and it’s bothering you.

    Y/N: No I’m serious she seems really familiar and not in that In Passing kind of way.

    Harper: what does she look like?

    Alex: yeah a description would be nice 

    Harper: TAKE A PIC

    Alex: holy shit YES 

    Y/N: I can’t take a pic. She’s too far away, it’ll be blurry.

    Alex: literally just zoom in lord almighty

    Y/N: Okay. Hold on a sec.

You turn on your camera app, and face the stage. Looks like the gem is actually finishing up her song. Perfect, you’ll snap a pic once she stands up. She finishes, and most of the people are clapping for her. You zoom in, and it’s grainy, but decent enough to make out most of her. You snap the pic.

The flash was on.

A couple people turn to look at you, and you try turning away quickly, horrified, and see the gem looking in your direction before walking off into the crowd of people. You cannot imagine a worse scenario. 

    Y/N: FUCK FUCCCCKKKKKK.

    Y/N: (image sent)

    Y/N: I GOT YOUR FUCKING PIC BUT THE FLASH IS ON.

    Y/N: I’M PRETTY SURE SHE SAW THAT IT WAS ME THAT TOOK THE PIC.

With shaking hands, you take another sip of your drink and wait for a reply. Why is life like this.

    Harper: uh.

    Harper: ummm.

    Alex: wait

    Alex: one fucking second

    Y/N: WHY ARE NONE OF YOU CARING ABOUT MY PLIGHT. 

    Y/N: I’M TRYING NOT TO COMBUST ON THE SPOT HERE.

    Alex: shut up for one second

    Alex: harper isnt that

    Harper: uhh. yeah i think so.

    Y/N: WHAT!? WHO IS IT. WHY DOES THAT MATTER AT THIS POINT.

    Alex: lmao i cant believe i have to tell u this

    Alex: bitch do u remember that shit that happened last summer

    Alex: where half the town almost died from that gem shit

    Alex: that’s her     Alex: that’s the bitch who almost killed like, the entire planet

    Harper: you know that night your dad almost died??

As you’re typing back a reply, someone pulls the stool out next to you and takes a seat. You see a sliver of pink out of the corner of your eye as you try not to actually Look. Oh god. It’s her. God can’t help us now. 

[jizemderler]

So here’s something I’ve been thinking a LOT about recently and if you wanna write about it please do - so imagine you’re dating Noah and you’re out with him for the day like with friends or at events or something and you’re just very needy for him and you’re practically begging him to do something about t and he’s just kind of cocky like “patience, and when we get home I’ll love you like a princess” gOD YOU CAN MAKE UP THE REST IF YOU WANT IM JUST

A/N: I hope you like this! Enjoy! Prompt Nr.4

Love you like a princess {Noah Centineo}

You were lying in bed feeling really sleepy still and watched Noah getting ready infront of the mirror. He only had his pants of his suit on which were hanging low on his hips because he didn‘t put a belt on yet. You crossed your legs when you felt a familiar tingling rise up your inner thigh.

„Can‘t we stay in bed just a little while longer?“ you asked him and put your arms above your head and rested them there knowing exactly that he found that pose extra appealing. He shot you a look from the mirror and chuckled while putting his button-down shirt on. It was perfectly tailored to his body and with every movement you could admire his muscels moving tightly under his shirt. „We have to leave in an hour.“ he said after walking over to you and placing a kiss on your temple. Which was really disappointing. He could‘ve at least given you a proper kiss.

***

You were walking on the red carpet besides Noah while he gave his interviews. You kept touching his arm or his lower back casually to show him that you really needed affection but he just smiled casually and kept going without showing that he even recognized it. So your frustration kept growing in your chest but you didn‘t want to say it out loud. You needed him to understand and act on it. Otherwise you‘d probably end up slapping him out of surpressed need. He finally wrapped his arm around you after he finished his interviews and it was time to walk inside. Right by the door was the carpet where they only took photos so you two waited for the celebrities infront of you to move on.

When it was your turn, Noah pulled you closer and you smiled into the cameras while you could see him looking at you in the corner of your eye. This bitch was looking at you with heart eyes when everybody else was looking but not when you needed him too. Deep down you knew he was doing it to make you go crazy. So you did a thing that you normally never did and faced him to place your lips on his for a quick peck and a million photos were taken accompanied by cheers and whistles. „You shoudn‘t have done that. It‘s going to be all over the internet.“ he whispered into your ear and another millions photos were taken while you ignored his comment.

***

You were seated on a round table facing the stage. The host was talking about something you couldn‘t quiet follow because all you had in mind was Noah. Your hand was resting on his thigh, constantly moving up and down. He was talking to his friends about the movie industry and you were bored to death, so you started experimenting. How high could you move your hand before he would react. It was a nice game. The table cloth was fully covering your laps so you were safe. You were getting to the exciting part, really close to his crotch, when he placed his hand above yours, keeping it still. You tried to pull your hand out of his grip but he tightened his his grasp even more. He laughed at something his friend said as if nothing was happening and leaned in closer to you.

„Go to the bathroom.“ he said only for you to hear and placed your hand on your lap. A smile appeared on your face and you excused yourself from the table and stood up to walk to the bathroom without seeming too eager.

You were fixing your hair when the bathroom door opened and Noah slipped through. „Sir, you‘re in the wrong bathroom.“ you teased him and he chuckled while loosening his tie. „I don‘t think you want me to leave though.“ he said while checking the stalls and locked the door after making sure you were alone. He pinned you against the sink and placed his hands on your hips. „You look incredible today.“ he said and placed a kiss on to the crook of your neck. „You noticed?“ you asked a little huffy now and he smiled against your skin. „One needs to be blind to miss it.“ he said in between kisses he placed up to your ear. „You were really needy today.“ he said and sucked lightly on your soft spot. After he said that you huffed and pushed him back, slapping his shoulder. „You did it on purpose, didn‘t you?“ you pouted and he chuckled while pulling you closer. „I just wanted you to get excited.“ he said against your lips and you frowned. „I was excited. Now I‘m pissed.“ you said and glared at him while he chuckled. „Patience. When we get home I‘ll love you like a princess.“ he said and placed his lips onto yours, kissing you intensly.

„But until then, you‘ll behave.“ he purred and you bit down on your bottom lip. „No more games.“ he said and pressed his lower half against you and you smiled.

A Marshmallow’s First Prom

Sparkler leans into the couch, a rear leg dangling lazily off the side as she flicked through a magazine in front of her. Twilight pokes her head into the room. "won't your date be here soon?" "Probably." Sparkler responds, glancing at her mother. "And this is a party, not a date." Twilight waited a beat for her to say more, but she didn't. "You don't seem...ready." she finally tells her daughter. "I'll get dressed up when she gets here, it's only noon." Sparkler says, brushing her off. Twilight goes to say something else, but the door suddenly comes to life with knocking, and twilight goes to answer it.

Huffing, Sekkachi finally stops sprinting to knock on the front door. She'd woken up late, having stayed up late eating junk and watching anime. She was slightly overweight, which made running distances harder - she never cared for exercise. 

Twilight Swings the door open, smiling brightly. She initially looks a bit too far up, and seems a bit surprised by how short Sekkachi is.  She shakes it off quickly enough though. "Hello, you must be Sekkachi!" Sparkler saunters to the door, straining to peek from behind her tree of a mother. "Hey Sek." Sekkachi blushes on seeing Sparkler. "H-hi. Don't call me your date, PLEASE..." She walks in.Sparkler raises an eyebrow. "I never called you my... you know what, sure." she says, rolling her eyes.

 "I overslept....sorry about that." She gets a sheepish look on her face. "Um. What now?" Her manes full of chips and chocolate from snacking all night, and more a mess than normal. "Apparently 'now' we need to get the food out of you mane, because I'll be damned if we're getting a tailoring done with your hair like that." Sparkler huffs, grabbing her by the hoof and leading her to their bathroom upstairs.

Sekkachi is slightly annoyed with how forceful Sparkler was. "a...tailor...what? What are we getting?" She shrugged, pouring a glob of shampoo into her mane and rinsing it with water, missing half of the food. "Dresses, hun. This is a somewhat formal event."  Sparkler tells her in a sarcastic tone. Sekkachi rolls her eyes a bit. "I thought it was a party. Not some royal wedding anniversary or something!" She joked. Sparkler continues. "And your mane is still all messy! You have crumbs in it, and it's all..." she trails of and squints, struggling for the right word. "Clumpy!" She finally settles on, flicking at a loose strand up front that intertwined itself with another."

Sekkachi snorts and brushes a hoof through her mane. Bits of chips came out. "Oops. Yeah, those are probably last week's chips..." "Last week? What, do you not bathe?" Sparkler snorts, smiling at her joke as she wipes more crumbs to the floor. They could be swept later. Sekkachi nodded. "Yeah. Just a big waste of time to me.” Sparkler finds herself with a smear of chocolate on her forleg as she brushes through Sek’s mane, though to her it was unidentified brown mark that she shrivels her nose at. “Oh, and that's just chocolate from a month ago. It's not...what you might be thinking.  Just month old chocolate. I fall asleep eating, okay?"

Sparkler stares at her, eye twitching. "Month old...that's not the improvement you think it is!" She exclaims, walking over to the bathtub and plugging it, water already starting to fill it. "We're not goin' to the one party in Ponyville that has an ounce of class being filthy. When's the last time you had a bath, anyway?" Knowing Sparkler wouldn't like it, she hesitated to answer. "Um...gosh. When I last saw my parents. So, two years ago?" She smiles sheepishly.

Sparkler stops in the middle of getting a variety of different, nice smelling soaps and washes. "How do you..." she begins, then shakes her head. "You know what? I really don't want to know. Let's just Get you clean so I can forget I heard that." A small shudder goes down her spine at the thought of all the build-up something like that would cause. Sek giggles a bit. "Alright." Her coat has the years of bits of food, blood, sweat, everything all caked and congealed under the long fur. Her mane is worse, adding a thick layer of dandruff to the mix. She steps into the bathtub, waiting. "lordy" Sparkler mutters, now wishing that she had taken her mother's advice and sprung to do this yesterday. 

She gazes over an assortment of body washes, finally plucking a blue bottle with her mouth, and begins to drizzle a generous helping onto Sek's back, muttering "Hold still" through the bottle.Secretly enjoying this, Sekkachi held still patiently without a fuss. "..Why IS it so important? Do I smell bad at all because of it? I know I can't tell..."

"Well, not really, surprisingly." Sparkler admits, working the soap through Sek's fur with her hooves "But going without cleaning isn't healthy! It's breedin’ ground for bacteria, and any wound is bound to get infected!" She explains to the mare, moving to get a sponge as she does so. "Plus, it has to be making you itchy. I can barely skip a day showering without feeling like I have bugs all over me." Sek shrugs. "Did at first. Guess I got so used to it I was desensitized. I just prefer to lay in bed, eat junk food, and watch anime or play games. What do you do in your spare time? I also find going outside pointless...just like exercise. Time wasted!"

"Well, I do a lot of farm work. Not the best activity, but it builds muscle." she admits, pausing to flex a rear leg, proving her point. Sparkler has some kick to her. "When I'm not doing that, I'm mostly hanging out with friends. I guess I read sometimes."

Sek replies, "Farm work? Sounds boring...wouldn't you rather skip that and chill with your friends then? It sounds hard…” "Well, yeah. I do that all the time." Sparkler snorts. "Point is, When you work out, you get ripped. And exercise highs." She explains, dumping a generous amount of hair shampoo into her hooves. “Am I done being cleaned?” Sekkachi mutters. "No. I haven't even started on this hair!" Sparkler says, before suddenly scrubbing it into her scalp. 

After a pause, the pink mare asks "Did your parents not tell you it's not healthy to be so...sedentary? Or that you should keep clean?" Sekkachi shakes her head. "Well, yeah. They were pretty strict..." She hesitates, debating whether to continue. "..which is why I ran away and bought my own place." She gives a quiet moan of satisfaction from feeling Sparkler's hooves in her mane.

Sparkler makes a small face of concern from behind Sek, having moved onto attempting to separate the tangled up mess of hair before her. "How'd you get the money for that?" Sekkachi again hesitates. "Well..I  stole my dad's wallet." Her voice goes to a whisper. "Oh..I didn't realize it would feel so good to get cleaned." Sparkler's mouth makes a thin line, but she doesn't say anything. She finally finishes the bath itself with taking a cup and pouring some of the water over Sekkachi, rinsing the mare. "Alright, I think we just need to brush the mane out a bit. Then we can go to aunt Rarity's."

Sekkachi nods. "Alright." She sits still further. She's surprised Sparkler didn't immediately reprimand her. "I guess, after that we put dresses on and go?" The brush goes through the knots, pulling the hair a bit as it did.  Sek only cringes slightly at the tug. "Sorry" Sparkler mumbles. "Rarity told me she had the dresses almost ready, she just needs a few more measurements form you. Then we'll go."

Sekkachi nods. "Okay then!" She smiles, then gets a bit more serious. "Can I ask...what was your..uh, reason for picking me of all ponies?" Sparkler doesn't look at Sekkachi right way, instead focusing on the little tangles. "Well, I..." she coughs, shifting on her hooves. "I just thought... I mean, you seemed available." She mutters, suddenly putting the brush away. "C'mon then, let's go." She giggles hearing the stutters. "Makes sense. Alright!" She stands too fast, falling flat on her face. "Im fine. Landed on a towel. I'll follow, because...yeah."

Sparkler giggles back, leading her downstairs. Twilight's eyes widen at them. "You're still here?" she asks, a bit indignantly. Her daughter shrugs. "We still have time." She replies,  leaving her mother to  just shake  her head at her. Sparkler trots through town, turning down sideroads and allies with the confidence of someone who'd walked a path a million times. Mostly because she had. Sekkachi is slightly uncomfortable, following Sparkler. "...aren't these allies dangerous?!" She looks side to side and behind her to make sure they weren't followed. "Not in Ponyville. I've never had problems, anyway."  Her date shrugs. As they exit the ally, the boutique comes into view.

"Will she be able to dress me? I'm a bi on the..big side." Sparkler Stifles a laugh at the dumb pun. "I've lost bets on whether Aunt Rarity could dress a pony and make them look good,  she can handle a bit of chub." Sekkachi loosens up, then straightens her posture. "..how formally do I speak? Fashion ponies are..usually strictly formal, right? At least the ones I've met.."

Sparkler looks at her for a beat, then busts up. "I mean, Rarity complains about ponies dragging mud in enough, but Ponyville's not exactly the epicenter of formalities!" she says, still giggling to herself. "You're fine hun. I could pull out my really thick farm accent, and she wouldn't care." Sekkachi nods, smiling, and silently follows her into the boutique.

A bell softly rings out as the door opens, and instantly the clicking of hooves could be heard along it. Rarity comes into view, her smile looking a touch strained. "Sparkler, you're a touch late dear." She tells them through gritted teeth. "Sorry Aunt Rarity, I got held up." Sparkler shrugs. The unicorn sighs, then looks to Sekkachi with a small smile. "You must be the date. I'm Rarity." Sekkachi nods. "Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm Sekkachi Orichalcos." She brustles her mane a bit.  "So you're the tailor in Ponyville, right? Also..I thought the Elements of Harmony were unrelated?"

Rarity smiles. "ah, that's just what Sparkler calls me. The elements are quite close, as you can imagine, so we all ended up being unofficial "aunts" to each other's kids."  She explains with a small shrug, then levitates a some measuring tape over to Sekkachi. "I just need some dress measurement really quick, if you don't mind dear." she hums, glancing at Sparkler. "Sparkler, your dress is already done, it's in my workroom.  Could you go try it on?"  Sparkler nods and strolls up the stairs.

Sekkachi nods. "Okay!" She steadies herself, stays still, and allows the unicorn mare to measure her. "I hope to Tartarus I don't spill anything tonight.." She says, seeing how well made and well looking the dresses were. Rarity hums as she takes measurements, floating a little notepad to write numbers it. "The material I'm using for your dress should be fairly washable, but do be careful with it." she replies, wincing at the thought.

Sekkachi nods. "Does this kind of job ever get exhausting? Seems like it could..really destroy your brain if you do too much in one day." "I find that the creative outlet makes up for it, And I do takes breaks from it!" she explains.

Sekkachi nods. She stays still for a moment, then takes out her small, portable radio and lets the loud anime theme songs blast. Her ears go flat and she cringes as the Music goes on blast. "I'm going to...finish those stitches now." The unicorn says quickly, trotting off. "Sekkachi, what the 'ell is that?" Sparkler's voice suddenly calls from the stairs.

Sekkachi yells back "It's anime music!" She starts to sing along. "I'm waiting for Miss Rarity to finish the dress!" "It's LOUD." Sparkler snorts, her hoof steps coming down the stairs. She rounds into the room, in a layered dress the same blue as her eyes with a silver belt.

Sekkachi laughs. "So?! I do this every night, may as well while I wait!" Her voice gets louder than the music itself. "Oh, is that why you were late?" Sparkler asks sarcastically. "What's this from, anyway? Sekkachi nods, not hearing the sarcasm. "Well, these songs are from Fairy Tail! Not...that kind of Tail."

Sparkler's about to say something, but Rarity trots back it with a "Done!", interrupting her. A long, green dress with pale highlights and a red sash is floating in her magic. "Try this on, will you?" Sekkachi forgets her music is on and takes it into the changing room. She carefully puts it on, only getting some dust on the very front of it. "Its..great!" She marvels, walking out. "I love it, thanks!"

Rarity smiles with pride. "I'm so glad, dear. I'm gonna wave the cost as a favor to Sparkler, So you're all set!" She says with a little nod. Sparkler glances at the clock, then chokes a bit. "It's already 6!? We need to go!" She yells, grabbing onto sekkachi. "Thank you again for the dresses, Rarity!" She says, nudging her date out the door.

Sekkachi nods, "Thank you Miss!" She runs out blindly. "Oh. Right. Lead the way, I sure as Tartarus don't know it..." "Well, from here we can just follow the crowd." Sparkler shrugs, pointing at the small line-turned-moshpit of young ponies trying to funnel into the ponyville castle. The crowd seemed surprisingly careful not to step on everyponies dresses, but was still rather cramped.

Sekkachi looks around. "Okay. So...um. Prom is like a dancing thing right? Or is it more than that? I never heard of it, it just sounded fun..." "I think so, this is actually my first time." Sparkler admits, scanning the crowd. "I think you mostly dance. And talk, I guess."

Sekkachi nods briskly. "Got it! RACE YA!" She dashes ahead. She normally hated running, but she knew Sparkler must like it and wanted to entertain her. Sparkler grins and sprints, almost immediately pulling ahead with her stronger, longer legs. Some of the other ponies giggled and "awwed" watching them give chase with one another.

Sekkachi nearly trips, but another mare catches her. She runs to catch up, but loses Sparkler in the crowd. "Hey! Can you stop? I can't...pant...run anymore.." Her head is moist from sweat already, she had to sit and breath for a moment.

It takes a few moments, but sparkler's head pops above the crowd for a second, looking for her lost date. Another minute, and she pops up again, this time a little closer. "Sekkachi?" she calls, before she descends back into the sea of other ponies. Sekkachi curses, her height being a hindrance here. She wanders, not realizing she's going backwards. "Um..Sparkler? Can you yell?!"

Sparkler pushes herself up again, and with a small jump she pokes through the crowd. "SEKKACHI, OVER HERE!" She calls, catching a small glimpse of her cotton-candy hair. She lands with a grunt, and pushes towards the rough direction of her date. Sekkachi hears the yell, turning face and walking through towards Sparkler until she sees her. "Phew! My fault. Sorry, Sparkler."

Sparkler gives a nervous chuckle as she trots to Sekkachi. " let's try to stay together, at least until we get inside." she teases. They were a bit further back in the line now, but it was at least moving.Sekkachi nods. She blushes, and her inner alarms blare, but she gives Sparkler a short hug before they push through. "Wow, it's a pretty popular event!" She remarks. 

Sekkachi’s eyes gleam when she hears anime music coming from the building. "YAAS! Woo!" "Oh boy. Where's that coming from?" Sparkler laughs, her ears flicking about to catch it. She gives a dramatic fake huff. "Somepony will be getting a strongly worded letter about such music choices!" Sekkachi laughs along. The music blasts even more as they inch closer to the castle. "Well...I can't say I'd write that letter!" She recognizes the next song and begins singing. "...is my singing bad? Sorry." She stops suddenly. Sparkler smiles at her date. "naw, hun. You sing fine." she tells her, ruffling her mane. "Nothing wrong with showing your love, anyway." 

The event is open-door, you could even see pegasi couples simply fly onto the balconies above to avoid the crowds at the door. Once the pair squish through the doorway, the castle itself became far more open as ponies wandered into different halls. Sekkachi stares in wonder. "It's huge...I...where do we go? I feel lost already!" She took the splendor of the castle in, tuning out for a moment.

"well, I know there's a lounge area over this way." Sparkler hums, pointing to an arc on the left. "Has some nice couches. And probably food." Sekkachi nods. "Let's go!" She walks over to the lounge, which, indeed, has some comfortable-looking couches and tables upon tables of food. "Oof. I'm overeating TONIGHT..." she mutters.

"No getting it in your hair!" Sparkler teases, playfully wiggling a hoof at her. She gets herself her own plate, mostly pastries and some fruit. A lush chocolate fountain sits in the middle of one of the tables, which sparkler pokes a strawberry into.

Sek's eyes draw to the chocolate, but she goes for the savory foods first, overloading her plate to the point she needed a tray as food spilled over. Finding a free couch with a table, she set the mound down. "Want any? My first serving, I can share.." Sparkler shrugs, munching on her own sweets she's piled up on. "If I want some, I'll get some." She tells her. "Mom'll have a fit if I only eat sugar, though. I'll have a sandwich later."

Sekkachi digs in, not noticing she's eating messily. She does take care not to sully her dress, but she constantly gets crumbs around her mouth. In a space of 20 minutes, she's finished. "Oof...I'm full. Time for dessert!" Sparkler is still chewing on her own pastries, giggling. "Can you fit dessert? Because I'd be impressed." She chuckles, reaching for the sandwich she's promised to eat.

Sekkachi nods. "Oh yeah. Maybe, I'll go for seconds.." However, she already finds getting off the couch to be a challenge as she takes one of every dessert, while Sparkler takes a few more treats for herself. The lounge is beginning to fill up, which isn't surprising given the vicinity to the entrance.

Sekkachi eats her food quickly, then sits. She moaned, "Told you I'd overeat...You done eating too?" She's eaten enough to be bloated. "Mind helping me onto the couch? It's higher than my bed.."Sparkler nudges Sekkachi with a shoulder, pushing her up on the cushion. "I'd offer to find us somewhere you can be bloated in privacy, but I don't know if you're in a state to travel." She tells her, climbing into a spot next to her.

Sekkachi giggles. "I can walk, I just can't pull myself up. Where would you suggest we go? I'd rather not be in the public eye too long like this." "Well, I'm guessing there won't be ponies in the bedrooms. I mean, not an unlocked bedroom." Sparkler snickers. "Besides that, I'm sure there's some random room around here that's empty."

Sekkachi giggles and walks with her slowly, spotting an empty bedroom. 'Here!" She walks inside, pushing up onto the short bed. "So...whatcha want to do now?" She motions for Sparkler to shut the door. It shuts with a light click, and sparkler snuggles next to her date on the bed. "I don't know, this beds pretty comfy though." Sekkachi nods and rests her head on a pillow. Losing track of time, she quickly falls asleep, snoring softly. Sparkler Rests her head on top of the smaller mare, smiling to herself as she too begins to drift off.

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18305 released

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18305 released. A simplified Start layout Tt=he simplified Start layout is part of an ongoing effort designed to enhance your Start experience in the upcoming release of Windows.

Windows Sandbox Windows Sandbox is a new lightweight desktop environment tailored for safely running applications in isolation. How many times have you downloaded an executable file, but were afraid to run it? Have you ever been in a situation which required a clean installation of Windows, but didn’t want to set up a virtual machine? An isolated desktop environment where you can run untrusted software without the fear of lasting impact to your device. Any software installed in Windows Sandbox stays only in the sandbox and cannot affect your host. Once Windows Sandbox is closed, all the software with all of its files and state are permanently deleted. Windows Sandbox has the following properties: Part of Windows – everything required for this feature ships with Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise. No need to download a VHD! Pristine – every time Windows Sandbox runs, it’s as clean as a brand-new installation of Windows Disposable – nothing persists on the device; everything is discarded after you close the application Secure – uses hardware-based virtualization for kernel isolation, which relies on the Microsoft Hypervisor to run a separate kernel which isolates Windows Sandbox from the host Efficient – uses integrated kernel scheduler, smart memory management, and virtual GPU To install Windows Sandbox, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off, and then select Enable Windows Sandbox. Windows Security app improvements New Protection History experience: The new Protection History experience still shows you detections by Windows Defender Antivirus, but it’s now updated to also give more detailed and easier to understand information about threats and available actions. We have also added Controlled folder access blocks to history, along with any blocks which are made through organizational configuration of Attack Surface Reduction Rules. If you use the Windows Defender Offline scanning tool, any detections it makes will now also show in your history.  Additionally, you will see any pending recommendations (red or yellow states from throughout the app) in the history list. We hope you like the changes we’ve made! Introducing Tamper Protection! Tamper Protection is a new setting from Windows Defender Antivirus, available in the Windows Security app, which when on, provides additional protections against changes to key security features, including limiting changes which are not made directly through the Windows Security app. You can find this setting under Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Virus & Threat Protection Settings. Symbols and Kaomoji are now just a hotkey away! When you press WIN+(period) or WIN+(semicolon), in addition to emoji the picker that appears will now include symbols and kaomoji too! You may ask, what is kaomoji? Translated literally from Japanese, it means “face characters” – basically, it’s a way to create faces using only text. You may already use them, for example the one mentioned above is relatively popular: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ This experience, originally introduced for Chinese (Simplified) during RS5 development, started rolling out to Insiders across all languages with Build 18252 – as of today’s it’s now available to all Insiders in Fast! Clipboard history gets a new look We originally opted to show bigger entries so there was space to show an image preview nicely, but when we looked at our data, we found 90% of items in the clipboard history were text. Based on that and your feedback, we now optimizing the design for text snippets – shrinking the height of each entry and thus giving you access to more entries without needing to scroll the view. Hope you like the change we made! Copy some text and press Windows logo key + V to check out the updated design. Signing in to Windows with password-less Microsoft accounts   If you have a Microsoft account with your phone number, you can use an SMS code to sign in, and set up your account on Windows 10. Once you’ve setup your account, you can use Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or a PIN (depending on your device capabilities) to sign in to Windows 10. No password needed anywhere! Creating a password-less phone number account If you don’t already have a password-less phone number account, you can create one in a mobile app like Word to try it out. Simply go to Word and sign up with your phone number by entering your phone number under “Sign in or sign up for free”. Add your password-less phone number account to Windows  Now that you’ve created a password-less phone number account, you can use it to sign in to Windows with the following steps: Add your account to Windows from Settings > Accounts > Family & other Users > “Add someone else to this PC”. Lock your device and select your phone number account from the Windows sign-in screen. Since your account doesn’t have a password, select ‘Sign in options’, click the alternative ‘PIN’ tile, and click ‘Sign in’. Go through web sign in and Windows Hello set up (this is what you’ll use to sign in to your account on subsequent sign ins) You can now enjoy the benefits of signing in to Windows with your password-less phone number account. Note: This experience is currently only available for Insiders on Home edition. We’ll let you know when it expands to more editions Streamlined Windows Hello PIN reset experience We know remembering a PIN can be tricky, so we wanted to provide our Microsoft account users with a revamped Windows Hello PIN reset experience with the same look and feel as signing in on the web. Check it out in today’s build by clicking the ‘I forgot my PIN’ link when signing in to Windows with a PIN. Note: This experience is currently only available for Insiders on Home edition. We’ll let you know when it expands to more editions. Keep your device running smoothly with recommended troubleshooting For example, we may recommend turning off a setting that sometimes causes an app or feature to crash unexpectedly until an update is available. We’ll let you know when we can help, and you can choose to run the troubleshooter or ignore it. You can also change how recommended troubleshooting is run on your device by opening Start > Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & Feedback. You may see recommended troubleshooting from us while we test the feature. These tests, marked as “sample recommended troubleshooter”, are safe to run and will not make any changes to your device. The tests help to ensure that the feature is working as designed and give you an opportunity to give feedback, so we can help keep your device working at its best. Automatic Restart and Sign On (ARSO) for Enterprises Are you tired of seeing these flashing screens after every update? ARSO is a feature that automatically signs-in a user after an update to finish setting up and then locks the PC. This feature is part of our Seamless Update Story for Windows, and its goal is to reduce customer pain points around updates, including things such as post logon set up time and not being able to pick up where you left off. This feature will be enabled on Cloud Domain Joined devices that meet certain security requirements: BitLocker is enabled and is not suspended during the upgrade TPM 2.0 SecureBoot To check if your device will get ARSO go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Privacy: If the toggle is switched “On” and is not grayed out, then the device meets the security requirements for ARSO, and is enabled by default. If the toggle is grayed out and Enabled, this means that your IT Admin has explicitly enabled ARSO for you, irrespective of your device’s security requirements. If the toggle is grayed out and disabled, this means that you do not meet the minimum security requirements for Enterprise ARSO, or your IT Admin has explicitly disabled ARSO for you, irrespective of your device’s security requirements. Set a default Task Manager tab You can set your preferred tab via Options > Set default tab. Updated Settings Homepage Inspired by the Microsoft account homepage, the Settings home page now has a header at the top allowing you to take quick action for things like signing in and managing your Microsoft account, making the Windows and Microsoft experience better. It also gives you an easy to glance at system status, such as when updates are available.

Friendly Dates in File Explorer Based on your comments, in Build 18305, we’re making it a bit easier to turn off if it’s not your thing – you no longer have to dig through settings, you can now just right-click on the date modified column and toggle friendly dates on and off from there. Friendly dates isn’t yet available for everyone, so don’t worry if you don’t see it just yet – we’ll let you know when it’s live for all. Shadows are back! Shadows are part of our long-term vision of the evolution of Fluent Design, and we’re excited to bring them back to you today after addressing some of the feedback you shared with us following the initial rollout. Re-releasing the new Japanese IME The latest version of the IME has enhanced key customization options and improved candidate window reliability (fixing an issue where it wouldn’t show), and we’re looking forward to you trying it out. Because we want to ensure the best possible typing experience, this will be a staggered rollout – some Insiders will get it today, and we will carefully review both metrics and your comments before pushing the IME out to everyone. Note: We are aware of compatibility issues with some game applications and the team is working on them – we’ll let you know when this has been addressed. Introducing the Office app for Windows 10 The app is a great starting point for Office that helps you easily find all your files in one place or easily access any Office solution available to you. It knows to connect you to the Office rich clients if they are installed on your computer or it will send you to the web version of Office if they’re not. IT will also appreciate the ability to customize the app by integrating other line of business applications that use Azure Active Directory into the experience and apply corporate branding to the app. Get more done with Cortana and Microsoft To-Do Want just one to-do list that works twice as hard for you? Save time and stay organized – Cortana helps by adding your reminders and tasks to your lists in Microsoft To-Do with this feature preview, so you can stay on top of what matters most.

*Christmas* (Chapter 23)

CHRISTMAS LIST HERE!

Enjoy!

***********************

{{SONG}}

Any other time of year, it would have been disconcerting to see Deadpool--in full Mercenary regalia complete with a mask and with the added bonus of a Santa beard--crooning a surprisingly good karaoke rendition of Last Christmas to his blushing, grinning boyfriend. 

And Peter was blushing, a bright red that almost overshadowed the obnoxious suit he was wearing, {{SUIT}}, but he couldnt stop smiling either, still buzzing from an incredible first night and day in their new home together, too happy and too in love to care that the rest of the Avengers were cat calling good naturedly at Wade, Hawkeye flinging one dollar bills at him, and a surprisingly tipsy Maria Hill hollering for him to take it off!

Wade had wanted the obnoxious suit, of course, but his self consciousness had crept in at the last minute and he had opted to hide beneath his costume, but gamely added a Santa beard to make it festive. 

Peter had kissed his boyfriend on the lips, told him that it was perfectly fine to wear his suit, and bought the suit in a smaller size. 

And now Wade was belting along to George Michael and making a spectacular scene--- 

---And Peter just cheered his love on. 

***********************

Natasha had poured herself into a sparkly green dress with silver pumps, a Santa hat pinned on top of her hair, and every time she crossed her legs, the already short skirt rode up and showed the holster on her thigh. 

Pepper was in a nearly matching dress in a sultry shade of red, a black pair of heels putting her a few inches over six feet tall, and showing off miles and miles of perfect legs, and the tiny bells on her earrings tinkled every time she laughed. 

Val had even come tonight, looking less Christmas-y but still amazing in leather pants and an off the shoulder sweater, her hair loose around her shoulders and a smile on her face as she stood and talked with the women. Sam had talked her into tucking a sprig of mistletoe behind her ear, and Bruce had shoved a poinsettia at her as they came through the door, so she looked at least a little festive, even if she kept rolling her eyes every time Pepper’s earrings jingled. 

Clint, Sam, and Rhodey, all looking equal parts dashingly handsome and also entirely ridiculous in their Christmas suits {{SUITS}}, watched their girls chat and laugh and drank their beer.

“Gotta tell ya.” Sam took a long drink, his eyes lighting when Val looked his way and waved. “I dont know what I did in a past life to get me a girl like Val in this one, but damn. Damn I did good.” 

“I hear that.” Rhodey raised his glass in a salute. “Pepper is the best thing that ever happened to me.” 

“How long did it take her to say yes to a date, again?” Sam needled. “Six years?” 

“Five.” Rhodey sent him a look. “And in my defense--”

“Isnt she beautiful?” Clint sighed dreamily and the other men turned to look at him, grinning at each other over how he was just staring at Nat. “Look how good she looks in that dress. In those shoes. Look at the ring on her finger. Ive waited seven years to give her a real ring and damn if it doesnt look amazing on her. Seven years to give that woman a diamond she deserves and I still don’t know if its enough for her.” 

“She’s stayed with you this long.” Rhodey elbowed him teasingly. “The diamond should make sure she stays another seven or so, huh?” 

“Leave him alone.” Sam signaled the bartender for another drink. “He’s spending Christmas with the terrifying woman he loves--”

“--you’re one to talk--”

“--SO WE SHOULD LET HIM BE ALL SAPPY IF HE WANTS!” Sam finished loudly. “And you know what, Colonel. At least my woman--”

“OH! We are not going to get into a conversation like that!” Bruce interrupted their chat, pushing through to get to the bar. “Do not start comparing women. All three of them are beautiful and incredibly smart and terrifying in their own way.” 

“Ill drink to that.” Rhodey nodded. 

“Here here.” 

***************************

“Im not really sure the cape goes with your suit, babe.” Steve teased, running his hands up Thors arms, squeezing at his biceps appreciatively. “But maybe later you ditch the suit and just keep the cape?” 

“Steven, my love.” Thor cocked an eyebrow at him. “I have always worn a cape, and I will continue to do so. Even with this--” he glanced down at the suit Steve had ordered for him in distaste. “-- Even in this version of Earth clothing.” 

“Dont worry.” Steve leaned up and kissed him. “You look great in it. And did you see Tony’s face when we walked in?”

“Yes, he--” 

“Oh look.” Bucky joined them, casting a critical eye over their matching suits {{SUITS}} “Its Tweedle Dee and Tweedle- Dumb-Ass. Nice suits.” 

“Tony made you watch Alice in Wonderland?” Steve asked instead of commenting on Buckys own {{SUIT}}, an atrocious thing that he had found just earlier today in a thrift store. 

“God yeah, what is wrong with that movie?” Bucky asked, exasperated. “Tony loves it!!” 

“Yeah. Made me watch it like eight times with him.” Steve groaned. “But you know, literally anything is better than watching the Grinch of repeat so you know--” 

“Where is Anthony?” Thor looked around the crowded room, over the heads of the team and the agents from SHIELD Tony had invited, and the other various vigilante types like Matt Murdock and the sharp tongued Jessica Jones. 

“Yeah, why’s Tony late to his own party? That doesnt sound like--”

Before Steve could even finish the sentence, the soft music cut out, and a new song started playing just as the balcony doors flew open and the Iron Man suit came flying through, music blasting from its outer speakers {{SONG}} as it barrel rolled and shot off glitter bombs as it circled the huge room. 

The suit landed with a boom-- and Tony jumped out with his arms held high, a huge grin on his face, the worst Christmas {SUIT} anyone had ever seen tailored perfectly to his body.

“Christmas Party!!!” he yelled and everyone yelled right back at him, lifting their drinks in a cheers as the music started blasting again, and Tony started moving through the room, shaking hands, and sharing hugs and exclaiming over everyones suit. 

“You guys all wore suits!” he cried, dragging Bucky down for a kiss and snatching a bottle out of the air as Clint tossed him one. “Best party ever!” 

“Where did you get this?” Bucky tugged at the hideous thing. “I mean you look great, sugar but... damn.” 

“I had it specially made.” Tony waggled his eyebrows. “I got a guy for this.” 

“Of course you do.” 

“Merry Christmas Tony!” Nat and Pepper nearly attacked him with kisses to his cheeks, and Sam snapped a picture just as Tony was laughing over it. 

“Merry Christmas guys. Lets get holly jolly drunk, huh?” 

***********************

***********************

It was four am when the party finally cleared out, the last guest put up in a spare room, the alcohol put away. 

Most of the guys had ditched their suit jackets and were lounging in just the brightly colored pants and dress shirts, snacking on whatever was left over, laughing over the evenings events. 

Nat was sprawled across Clints lap, letting him work his fingers through her hair, pulling bobby pins out and massaging at her scalp. 

Pepper and Rhodey were cuddled up on the recliner, Peppers shoes somewhere over by the karaoke stage, Rhodey’s jacket draped around her shoulders to keep her warm. 

Steve was full on straddling Thor, teasing him about how good he looked in the suit, and then lowering his voice and teasing things that no one wanted to have to overhear.

Tony came back downstairs from making sure Wade and Peter had found their room -- and been thoroughly warned on pain of being thrown out a window to not destroy it-- and Bucky reached for him instantly, tugging him onto his lap and kissing him soundly. 

Sam and Val sat holding hands, talking quietly with Bruce, who was having a cup of tea to try and get a jump on what would be a hell of a hangover later on. 

“How you feeling, baby?” Bucky whispered. “You doing alright? Happy with the party?” 

Tony looked around the room with a little smile on his face. “The party was perfect. Got a Tower full of friends and family who had a blast tonight. And now now its 4am on Christmas Eve, and Ive got my arms around my fells--” Bucky grinned at that. “-- So I am just about as happy as Ive ever been.” 

Tony leaned in and kissed him again. “Just as happy as Ive ever been.”

Opinion on serobaku and serokiri?

SeroBaku kills me in the sweetest way and SeroKiri brings me back to life when I feel dead inside and SeroBakuKiri is like heaven on earth tbh I love those ships they make me feel warm !!!

Anon said:Yes but i loved minas hair like that??? So either ur hair is also p good or ur art is just that great n I’m %99 sure that it’s both, also r u ever planning to post a picture of urself?? ? I’m sorry if this question makes u uncomfortable, have a nice day!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you!!!!! And pictures aren’t really my thing so that’s probably not gonna happen, but I assure you you’re not missing anything by not seeing me, anon hahaha

Anon said:Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! ilu

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ヽ(o♡o)/ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Anon said:Imagine Bakugo drawing pictures of his squad without them noticing. Like Kiri looking out a window or mina and Denki trying their best to study or sero scrolling on his phone. I wonder how they would react to finding his sketch book

I’m sobbing this is so nice ;A; Sero and Kaminari’s reaction would probably be along the lines of “how is this guy good at everything” haha I like the headcanon of Mina drawing too so her reaction would be a bit different, probably, but still very very awed 

meanwhile Kiri is on the ground dying

(Kiri is me)

Anon said:Lately I’ve just like…. Noticed but all your art is such high quality and honestly it looks so so good. You have such a lovely style and it’s so original and distinctive and I’m love it and you so much. Plus!!! sometimes I’ll just look through your art tag and even though I think it all looks great I can tell you’ve improved a lot, and, idk, you inspire me to work on my own art constantly and thank you!! I hope you have a lovely day!!

Oh my god this ask slayed me ???????? thank you so much ;A; jesus this was so damn nice I dunno how to react at all !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope your own art is coming along great, anon!!!! I’m glad my doodles can make you want to have fun with it too!!!!!

Anon said: i absolutely adore your art style ! it’s so unique and fascinating and pretty i die

Welp thanks to this ask I die too so it’s two of us anon o m f g (thank uuuuu)

Anon said:Ahhhh the dorm life comics honestly made me smile so much I love them the way you portray all the characters is always so nice and asfhdjd your art is my favorite AND listening to you ramble in the tags honestly makes my day better I love it 10/10 bless

This is it, they day Fran honest to god dies, cause of death: yall being way too sweet for me to take holy s m o k e s ( ;A;)

Anon said:Do you think the UA teachers hang out like the kids do in the dorms?

YESSSSSSSS Aizawa and Mic are high school friends so I’m pretty sure it’s canon they waste time together, Blood King and Dog Hound are canon pals too so they also most probs chill together too! Blood King is also the same age as Aizawa and Mic so they probs used to go to school together too!!! And with Dog Hound being 32, Midnight being 31 and Cementoss and Thirteen being 28 they’re more or less all the same age, so I like to think they spend free time together~ some scenes with the teachers make me think they’re good pals with the older ones too, it’s a really fun group of people to be honest!

Anon said:I wonder what Kiri would do if Bakugou had the flu…Or what they would do if they stepped on Legos XD It’s a funny thought. I love your art so much, you’re my favorite Bakushima artist!!

Anon said: Omg your art gives me life. I was just wondering what happens when the bakusquad get a sick? Thank you

Thank you to both of you!!!! And I could give you both my take on this, but would I be able to make it better than BnHA SMASH did? Probably not, that thing’s so hilarious t b h hahaha

Anon said:OMG IS JIROU PLAYING UKULELE?! I PLAY UKULELE!!! OMG

Yes she is!!!!! I like to think Jirou’s got at least basic knowledge for how to play any instrument ever, so when she’s laying around in the common room once she got used to her friends listening to her play she’d bring with herself the smaller and easier ones to carry! An ukulele has a super nice sound and is small enough to bring around the dorms haha

Anon said:fran!! hi!! Ur comics actually make my life 50% better everytime i see them so thanks for cheering me up everytime you post!! They’re amazing and so is everything u do!! (Love ur art style btw)…. So besides all the compliments, i have a question!! What’s your opinion on AU’s where bakugou is deaf? Would u ever draw something related to it?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I think I already answered this question? At some point? But I can’t find it, so in general my take is that I highly doubt Bakugou’s body isn’t built to withstand and not take damage from his own quirk (since his hands are made to hold up with it, I feel like the rest of his body is tailored around his quirk too), but I’m always up for disabled characters and the idea of Bakugou signing is beautiful to me, so I don’t mind the AU one bit! Dunno if I’ll ever draw for it tho, drawing jsl when I don’t know it is hard. I know that from experience.

That said, I do find the fics in which Bakugou becomes deaf because of his quirk a bit hard to believe most of the times? Because in all of them his ears are the only things taking damage for the continuous use of his quirk and I just sit here like, his eyes should be taking damage too. Normal eyes aren’t made to withstand explosions and stun grenades every day all day, so if his ears aren’t biologically made to hold against his quirk his eyes shouldn’t be either. 

Like, I read those fics and I find them real hard to believe because the authors aren’t pushing it hard enough, for me it’s either no damage at all or hoh AND visually impaired Bakugou, boy can’t be only half built to withstand his quirk that’d just be silly haha but that’s probably just me, the AU is Good 👍

Anon said:The Mirio eyes on that last pannel. Everyone needs Mirio eyes. (also don’t even try to convince anyone Kiri doesn’t steal Baku’s sweaters too)

He started doing so once he found himself with no hoodies left - he isn’t the type to just steal people’s clothes, I think, but if Bakugou started doing so first he’d probably find it acceptable to consider all their hoodies fair game hahaha

Anon said:Oh my god I absolutely adore your art so much. Every time you post something I get so excited! Your art is honestly so cute and it never ever fails to cheer me up. If I ever need inspiration or motivation to draw something especially cute, I come to your blog and look through your posts. Your fluffy art makes my heart clench and makes me grin like crazy. I just… I have so many feels about your art. It just makes me so very happy!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood thank you!!!!!!!!!! Holy smokes!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so so happy my stuff can make you inspired to draw ;A; aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! this made me so happy holy he ck ;u;

Anon said:Hey… thanks for all the stuff you do. It’s really great and I just wanted you to know that. Thanks………….❤️

No anon thank you for this ask, oh my g o d ;U; *sob*

Anon said:I don’t know if you readed the fic “communicate with your body” of xx_kuuhaku_xx, but If you haven’t done so, read it please. I think you’d love it

It’s the merman!Kiri one, right? I read it!!! A bit too much smut in it for my tastes, but I did like it a lot!!! ヽ(o♡o)/

Anon said:AHHHHH!!!!!! IM CRYING!!!!! I LOVE YOUR ART SO FUCKING MUCH ITS JUST SO FUCKING GOOD AND THEYRE ALL JUST SO FUCKING CUTE AND FUCK I LOVE ALL OF YOUR KIRISHIMAXBAKUGOU HEADCANONS AND EVERYTHING IS JUST SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR ART AND THIS BLOG SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU A LOT TOO ANON OH MY G O D THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:i just started watching servamp cause i remembered you talked about it before and i like it a lot?? kuro is #relatable and all the voice actors are so good wth 

Anon said:OKAY HI FRAN IM THE SAME SERVAMP ANON AND WTF IM CRYIBG SAKUYA AND HYDE MY SONS im so emotional over the last episode it didnt explain anything im gonna have to start the manga now and the movie and specials dont have subtitles yet help me im dying

ANON IF YOU’RE PICKING UP THE MANGA YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE START - the anime messed it all up, there’s a lot of missing things since the beginning!!! The anime is beautiful but the manga is 100% better, I hope you’ll enjoy it!!!!! *O* (…once you get caught up with it you’re free to come yell at me, the current arc is killing my soul)

Anon said:Fran!!! Your last comic!!! About Bakugou with a crush!!!! ITS SERIOUSLY SUPER GREAT no really, I usually see Kirishima as the one portrayed with a giant, blush-when-he-texts-me crush, but Bakugou!!! He’s a teenager too are you telling me the whole heart fluttering thing wouldn’t happen to him?? Ofc it would!!!! (He’d be kinda pissed at first, like “what is this weird feeling”, but I don’t think Bakugou would be exactly averse to it, after he realized his feelings??) Anyway TY FOR CRUSHING BLASTY

YOU ARE!!!! WELCOME!!!!!!! I love smitten Kirishima, but the lack of giddily in love Bakugou in this fandom hurts me a bit - love is a happy feeling!!! Mostly so if you can tell it’s probably required!!! And Kirishima’s super obvious about his feelings so Bakugou being able to tell is highly probable!!!!! And Bakugou can be his grumpy self all he wants, but if he’s in love he’s gonna be happy about it when Kirishima’s sweet to him!!!! That’s how I see it, at least hahaha

Honestly tho that’s my favorite sort of love, the one that makes you unable to hold back a smile and makes your stomach flutter and your heart clench in the good way, I want both Bakugou and Kirishima to feel like that about their relationship~

Anon said:On the comic captioned he’s got a crush I literally squealed it was so cute!!

;O; I’m glad you liked it omfg!!!

Anon said:I wanted you to know that your Kiribaku comics give me life and they always brighten my days! I also have a question if you don’t mind… will we see more of the domestic with kids au? Your Kiribaku dads are so adorable it’s kind of ridiculous. Thank you for all the art you share with us!!!

Thank you for liking it, anon!!!! And maybe! If I feel inspired and find ideas for it, why not! I don’t personally deal with kids often so ideas for that AU don’t come easy haha but maybe!

Anon said:You get so many notes on your artwork… do you like actually read any people’s tags on them? Because I know I have had some e m b a r r a s s i n g tags of me yelling with excitement 😂 I hope you don’t ever read those and just face palm at my stupidity. Haha anyway that’s my way of saying I love your stuff and just yell about it a lot.

………………..I do read all tags tho :O so I definitely read yours too, but whatever they were if it was yelling with excitement they made my day, 100% for sure, you’re the type of person I post my art for, anon!!!

Anon said:tfw even tho he looks kinda ridiculous, bakugou still manages to look good with that hair and outfit

Well, I still find it uncomfortable to look at l m a o but yeah he’d look good in nearly anything, he’s just that pretty ( ⌯◞◟⌯)♡

Anon said:Asdffhjllvdrhbhsd jakugou jatsuki I died oml thank you I’m still laughing and Jakugou looks Fabulous™ in your style and I’m so lame ASDFHJKLL HE LOOKS GOOD AND I’M CRYING LAUGHING BLESS

Anon said:Just a stupid anon here to say I love your art and I hope you have a very lovely week! ^^ (no need to reply~)

Of course I need to reply :O you’re being so sweet, anon, thank you!!!!!!!! I hope you’ll have a perfect week too!!!!!!

Anon said:hi fran just wanted to tell ya that I used to love your art before BUT THEN i started drawing myself and now I realize the pain and struggling of shading and anatomy and expressions and let me say i appreciate you 100% EVEN MORE now, and if I used to love your art now I freaking ADORE it!! (also fun fact I actually started drawing bc of you, im uh,,, super executive dysfunctional so I could never get around to doing it before but YOUR ART SERIOUSLY INSPIRED ME THANK U DRAWING IS TOUGH BUT FUN)

Thank you???? So much???? Oh my g o d I’m so happy I could somehow help you find the focus to try drawing out! It is a pain, but the more you do it the easier some basic things get and the more fun you’ll have with it, it’s such a tough but rewarding hobby to have! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as possible, anon!!!!

Anon said:FRAN IS IT WEIRD THAT WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT U I THINK OF U AS A MIXTURE OF BAKU AND KUROO AND KAMI
