hard times

synopsis: you have been dating mina in secret for nearly five years now. things start to fall apart after her fans finally raise speculations about your true relationship with her

w/c: 7.4k ((oops, got carried away and dragged it out))

warnings: mentions of alcohol…lots of angst. actually just pure angst

a/n: if i had a dollar for every time i yelled “girl, stand up for yourself” while writing this, i’d have like $6. againnnn, not proofread, was sleep deprived writing this, also only had 12 hours of free time at work <//3

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

The early rays of sunlight cracked through the blackout curtains of your apartment window, sending out golden hues of light to wake you up. You turned over to wrap your arms around your girlfriend, but to your surprise, were met with cold sheets and an empty bed instead.

In confusion, you slowly opened your eyes - melting away any remnants of sleep. As far as you were aware, she had nothing written down on her schedule today.

You were about to reach out for your phone when you noticed the answer to your question: a handwritten note sitting on the bedside table from no other than Mina herself.

A smile tugged on the corners of your lips, she knew you too well.

good morning my love, i got called into a morning meeting with head office today. i should be back home for lunch!

love, minari <3

Sitting up, you let the familiar silence settle around you. You were suddenly reminded of how lucky you were to be a part of Mina's life - to be able to call her your own, she chose you even when the rest of the world wanted her.

Four years later, your love for her only grew deeper with every sunset and beating of your heart. The timeless moments that built your relationship; from the late-night game dates, flying to every tour show, holding her hand as she achieved her dreams and even the silly little arguments that made your relationship stronger — you were grateful for them all.

The light that she brought into your life was otherworldly- she was everything (and perhaps more) you needed.

Though sometimes, there were moments where you wished you could just tell the world about your girlfriend because the world outside of yours, you were only one of her closest friends. At least, her family and friends knew, and to some extent, her company. You could write a million books about her and it still wouldn't be enough.

There was a delicate balance in the fragile world you built together. Mina worked as a popstar and you were an independent producer.

It helped that you grew up with one of her bandmates, Jihyo, who (unfortunately) was always a good first excuse whenever questions were raised as to why you were so dedicated to being present in almost every show. Secondly, you were one of their producers.

Besides that, you had pretty much perfected the art of being Mina's best friend. Anniversaries were orchestrated carefully, always planned months ahead of time and any public appearances involved being friendly with her as possible. Your longing smiles and shared looks were a soft reminder of your love for each other, and that was enough for now.

In the corner of your dimly lit studio, you worked in front of the mixer endlessly - isolated from the rest of the world as you poured yourself into your craft. You were constantly attempting to push JYP into releasing more music outside of TWICE's comfort zone, something the girls had respected you for.

The buzzing of your phone pulled you out of your work trance as you frantically grabbed it out of your pocket. It was Jihyo and it had to be something important if she was calling you at ten in the morning.

"What brings forth the Queen's presence?" you chuckled, however, she held her silence on the other end. "Hello, earth to Jihyo?"

"Have you seen the link Momo and Dahyun sent you?"

You frowned at the seriousness in her tone, the weight of her emotions passing to you. "Good morning to you too, and no, I've been working since I got up."

She heaved out a sigh. "It's not looking too good, Y/N, not good at all."

"What are you on about?"

Within a second, you were scrolling through the group chat you shared with the other members. Multiple links were sent out and you wish you hadn't clicked on it because the sudden doom you were feeling was horrifying - your world had just been turned upside down.

Mina and Y/N - more than friends?

The first one you had clicked was a video compiled of Mina's longing stares, the changes in her mood whenever your name was mentioned and of course, the moments you two shared together in public as friends being carefully dissected. She wore a different persona around you - the one you were only meant to see, and it didn't click to you how painfully obvious it was.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," you muttered as you clicked another link, heart racing as you watched the headlines unfold.

This time, it was a tweet; a photo of her in one of her many disguises next to a photo of you and her holding hands at the beach...the only indication pointing to her was the fact that she wore the exact same outfit.

There were more "evidences" but you had seen enough.

You have never felt this violated in your life, years of cherished memories were now tarnished by the mere fact that it was being shared around for the public to scrutinise. It would be a lie to say that you two had not prepared for this, but there was always the illusion of your lives being separate - safe in the world you had built.

"It's going to be okay," Jihyo tried her best to comfort you in her soft voice. "Is she not home?"

"No, she told me she got called into a meeting and I'm assuming it's all because of this mess," you plopped your head against your pillow, a million thoughts already running through your head. "Do you think she'll get kicked out of the group?"

"Are you kidding me?" Jihyo scoffed at you. "We aren't Twice without Mina. The only options for JYP are to either confirm, deny or not say anything at all."

"I'm going to lose her, I know it," you gasped out, running your fingers through your hair. "What am I going to do?"

"You know what Mina always says about you, Y/N?" it was Chaeyoung's voice on the line this time. "That she wouldn't be able to do all of this glitz and glamour if she didn't have you in it. You're her anchor, remember that.

"Thank you," you strung out, voice heavy. "I appreciate it."

"Your relationship will always have our support, we love you as much as we love that penguin."

Mina suddenly barged into your studio a mess; puffy eyed and hair messy. Her face showed a mix of anger, uncertainty and more importantly, fear of what the future held for the both of you. In the middle of all the chaos surrounding your relationship, you opened your arms wide for her and you were met with a crying Mina falling into your chest.

"I'm so sorry, baby," her voice was barely above a whisper. "Tell your family that I'm sorry. Everyone's going to pry into your life and —"

You squeezed her body tight, making her stop as you kissed her temple lovingly. You were just as lost as her. "Have you forgotten that everyone was prepared for this? Don't worry about my family, they'll be fine, I'm more worried about your career."

She looked up at you, biting her bottom lip as hard as she could. "They want me to confirm the old dating rumours I had with Jeno."

"What?" your question held so much frustration and turmoil. Out of all the possibilities you two had considered, you didn't see a fake relationship with another idol coming. "How the fuck is that going to help you?"

"They're convinced a relationship with him will be more beneficial for me than damaging, and it'll stir away all those rumours about us if the public is convinced enough," she replied, her tone mirroring your bitterness. "They also want you to go on friendly dates with other idols and make it look like you do this with everyone else."

Your eyebrows furrowed, your grip on her arms loosening. "And you said okay to all of this?"

"I had no choice," she bellowed out, another set of tears prickling out of her eyes. "It was either I lose you forever or for a short amount of time and I picked the latter!"

You sent her an apologetic look, letting out a sigh. It was a mission to contain the surge of anger flowing through you in front of Mina, it was the last thing she needed. This storm would pass, however, it was sailing together that worried you the most.

"I love you, Y/N," Mina firmly reassured you. "Do you know that?”

"I love you too, I'm sorry."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

In the days that followed, against both of your wills, Mina temporarily moved out of your apartment and "officially" started dating Jeno. Alongside that was the release of a series of photos of you with other idols - seemingly justifying your intimate dates with her.

It felt like a blow to your place in the industry. You weren't just a mere producer to the public now, you were linked to almost every member of Twice and Blackpink, years of hard work overshadowed by dating rumours just like that.

The thing that convinced the public the most were old photos of you and Rosé's friendship resurfacing, all the way back from her debut days. A recent one caught Mina's eye out of all of them; the blonde idol was kissing your cheek at your favourite Italian restaurant out of all places - the one you took her out to for your first date.

It was the sole reason for Mina's silence tonight.

You and the members of Twice were all seated around the dorm's dinner table; candlelights flickering and casting shadows in the room as Japanese jazz played in the background.

She was sitting right across from you, absentmindedly twirling her ramen but still refusing to eat it. The soft hum of their conversations were drowned out trying to figure out how to push your girlfriend's sour mood away. And, she looked so beautiful in the light - jet black hair cascading past her shoulders and perfectly framing her divine features.

"My love, aren't you going to eat?" you whispered gently, a tinge of concern beneath your voice. "You haven't touched your food since I got here. Did you not miss me?"

You hadn't seen her in over a week due to your clashing schedules, most of her free time were spent doing publicity stunts with Jeno and most of yours consisted of missing Mina and hanging out with idols you have worked with at least once.

She sent you a tight-lipped smile, pushing a strand of her hair to the back of her ear. "I did miss you, a lot, I'm just bothered."

You gazed at her, raising an eyebrow. "What about, my darling?"

A rush of warmth made its way to her cheeks as she shook her head. "It's nothing important, I'll tell you after dinner, yeah?" she reached for your hand over the table, resting it on top of yours.

Albeit unconvinced, you nodded with her. She didn't speak to you for the rest of the night, choosing to engage in conversations with the group. It would've been reasonable if it weren't for the fact that you hadn't spoken to or seen her all week - the longest you have spent away from each other so far since you started dating.

It didn't seem to have an effect on her and it stung.

Nayeon nudged you with her elbow, noticing the shift in your behaviour. "And what's going on with you, Y/N? I miss seeing you lurk everywhere, and now all these other girls get to be in your presence."

All eyes were on you now, but yours fell on Mina whose jaw was noticeably clenched. You nervously chuckled, taking a big sip out of your chardonnay. "I know, it sucks, but also a perfect opportunity for me to play around with my tunes, you know? It's exhausting, but hopefully it'll all tone down soon...specially with Mina dating Jeno."

"So, having fun with Rosé?" Mina cleared her throat, tone coming out harsher than intended with hurt evident in her eyes. And it caught you and the rest of the girls off-guard. "I didn't know you guys were that close until those photos came out."

"Yeah," you awkwardly trailed off. "I used to work for Teddy at the Black Label. We've always been close but the years have grown us apart, can we talk about this later?"

"Why later?" her voice cracked, burning you with her stare.

Your face was flushed with embarrassment as you took notice of the girls sinking on their seats, trying to make themselves invisible and far away from her wrath because angry Mina was bad, but jealous and angry Mina was the worst version of her to exist, ever.

"Because I haven't seen you in so long and I'd like to have a good night with our friends," you said quietly. "Is that too much to ask, Mina?"

She got up, not before exchanging strained looks with you, unable to hide her emotions any longer. "She's kissing your cheek in one of the photos for god's sake," she shot back at you, footsteps bearing the heavy weight of the mess she created. "Girls, I'll be in my room if you need me, I'm really sorry for ruining the night."

The stunned silence that followed after her departure hung heavy between all of you. You were completely blindsided by her reaction because it was unusual of Mina. She trusted you and your judgement regarding everyone in the industry, and you had always been transparent about your previous relationships. Rosé wasn't even on the list of people you've dated, she was like a sister to you.

"Go after her, Y/N," Jeongyeon was the first to break the silence, a gentle contrast against the previous heated exchange. "She's under a lot of pressure from the company right now - please go easy on her."

You silently excused yourself from the table, trailing behind Mina a minute too long. You opened the door to her room and your heart instantly ached at the sight of her sitting on the edge of the bed with a defeated look on her face.

She glanced up at you, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know where that came from, that was unacceptable and -"

You took a deep breath, kneeling in front of her as you cupped her face in between your palms. "Baby, what's going on?"

"I'm scared and I'm so tired of following rules and I hate holding the hands of someone I barely know and don't love," she started, shoulders trembling with silent cries. "And I hate seeing you with girls who are so much better than me.”

"My love, there is no else better for me in this world. I will always choose you no matter what," you said, wiping streaks of tears off of her face with your thumb. "I love you more than anyone else in the world, you matter to me the most."

She searched your eyes for any ounce of lies, and all she found was sincerity. "You promise?"

"I promise," you took her hand into yours, placing a chaste kiss on the back of it. "I'm all yours."

Her head was resting against yours and you sat frozen in that position for a long time, cherishing this moment for the rough waves ahead of you two.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

After the first wave, it wasn't long before the cracks in your relationship began to show. You weren't allowed to see Mina for a certain amount of time each week and every interaction with her had to be meticulously orchestrated by her managers - date nights are now rare and she barely replied to any of your texts, it felt like your place in her life was slowly being taken over by Jeno.

Arguments were more common than ever, most of it coming from Mina's side with all the built up frustration at the lack of control in her own life getting lashed in your direction.

In one of the rare nights management had allowed you to see her in the space of your own home; a month and a half after the unraveling of the biggest chaos in your lives, she had specifically told you she only had limited time for two rounds of Fortnite and and maybe an hour or two of Minecraft before she had to leave.

Nonetheless, for you, that was more than enough.

You went out of your way to set up a pillow fort in the centre of your living room, Mina's favourite snacks all on display and even putting up fairy lights all over the space. It was the only way you could try to bring back the intimacy that you both lost ever since being outed by the public.

And honestly, you wanted to remind her that you were so much better than Jeno - that you knew her more than he did.

"So, how long ago did she leave?" you were on the phone to Jihyo like normal. These days, with your movements still limited (the rumours between you and Mina have thankfully died down) you confided in her and she let you.

"She should be there any minute now," the other girl hummed, clapping her hands in excitement. "This is going to make her feel so much better, Y/N, I just know it."

"I really hope so, Ji," her old nickname rolled off your tongue like clockwork. "I miss her so much, I wish things could go back to normal."

"Just hold on a little longer, yeah?"

As soon as you heard the locks turn, you stumbled on your feet trying to make yourself somewhat presentable in front of your girlfriend. "I gotta go, I'll let you know how it goes."

Mina appeared behind the door, a tired smile on her face. In an instant, your arms wrapped around her, being smothered with all the kisses she missed from you.

She planted multiple kisses on your lips, equally missing you. "I missed this."

"I'm so glad you're here, Minari," you pulled her into the living room with your back turned towards her. "Just like old times, hey?"

Your eyebrows furrowed when you were met with silence, confused as to why she wasn't saying anything. So, you turned towards her and you wished you hadn't because you felt so small under her cold gaze.

"What's this?" she began, her tired giggles replaced by an angry scowl.

Your hopeful smile was gone. "What do you mean?"

"I'm so fucking tired, I told you not to do anything special, didn't I?" she rubbed her temples in irritation. "You never listen to anything I say."

Your heart sank at the entirety of her words. Tonight was supposed to be special for you both but Mina's lack of effort and gratitude were beginning to show and it hasn't even been five minutes. "I thought it would've been nice to bring a sense of normalcy back into our relationship."

"Normal?" she scoffed at you, clearly offended by the words that came out of your mouth. "There's nothing normal about our whole situation. It's hard for me to keep up with you when you're always at my back for the smallest things. There is only one of me, Y/N, can't I catch a break from you?"

"Mina...what are you saying? What am I doing wrong?" you stood there, dumbfounded at the lack of context in her words. She was simply rejecting you and it felt like a punch to the stomach.

"You're obviously rubbing it in my face that I'm not putting in enough time into our relationship," her voice was laced with nothing but anger. These days, it was a common tone from her. "Do you know how exhausting it is to act like everything is fine when it's not? To act like I'm in love with someone I'm not? I didn't ask for any of this, I just wanted a night of peace - not a fucking extravagant date."

Your expression softened, heart aching at the sight of her scrambling to let all of her bottled emotions out. She was struggling to balance everything and you hoped that she would let you carry some of the weight on her shoulders. "Okay, we'll get all of this silliness out the way," you were trying so hard not to cry in front of her - you hated making things worse but feeling a sense of rejection from your own girlfriend wasn't exactly the best one.

"Forget about it, don't follow me, please," she added, walking out of the living room and into your shared bedroom.

Your heart broke as she stirred away from you with every step, all you could do was sink on the couch - the fort you built crashing after you. Burying your face into your hands, you let the tears fall: you were losing her, and that realisation had cut way too deep.

Minutes later, deep within your thoughts, you failed to notice the presence in front of you until she wrapped her arms around you, muttering gentle apologies and reassurances.

"I'm here, baby," Mina's tone was laced with a heavy sense of regret, drawing circles on your back just like how she used to. "I'm sorry I took it out on you, again."

"I don't understand what I'm doing wrong," you turned to face her with bloodshot eyes. "I'm trying my best for you and none of it seems good enough."

"None of this is on you," she reassured, placing a kiss on your neck - lips lingering longer than usual. "I love you so much, I don't want to lose you."

"It feels like I'm losing you, Mina."

"I'm here until forever, remember?" she promised, a hopeful glint in her eyes.

"I hope so."

"I do know so," she smiled at you with sincerity, that was all it took for you to forgive her. "Let's smash a few rounds in, shall we?"

Mina somewhat kept her promise of putting more effort in, she fought with her managers more, never failing to defend you from their wrath. With the rumours toning down, you were allowed to be out in public with her and Twice again. Of course she was still dating Jeno in their eyes, but with their schedules constantly not aligning due to his group's upcoming album, the rift that was building between you and her grew smaller because it meant she could see you more.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Things were nearly back to normal again, until you had to meet him.

"Remind me why I have to meet this guy again?" you raised an eyebrow as Momo and Sana both circled around you.

"Because the public is starting to notice that despite being Mina's best friend, you have never been seen around Jeno," Momo described the situation perfectly.

"Um, what?" you chuckled. "I could literally say the same thing about you and him!”

"Okay, but we're idols, and our worlds are bound to crash with each other," Sana defended their situation.

You rolled your eyes. "Whatever you two say."

That same night, you were seated around the candlelit dinner table once again. Arriving a little later than usual, you had exchanged formalities with Jeno against your will, and as much as you wanted to hate him, he genuinely seemed like a nice guy and if the circumstances were any different, you would've liked him.

Cutlery clinging and small conversations that were filled with laughter took up the sound of the room. Instead of taking the seat across from Mina like you always did, you chose the one next to Tzuyu. She didn't even notice.

With him around, she barely acknowledged your presence. If anything, she seemed to enjoy being wrapped under his arms as they all laughed to a stupid joke he made.

"Are you alright?" Tzuyu whispered into your ear when she noticed your white knuckles on the wine glass, carefully treading around your anger.

"Me?" you forced a smile.

"I'm asking you, lovely."

"Why would I not be?" you swallowed the bitterness along with your drink. Her eyes held a bunch of questions, frowning when her bandmate who moved a little too close to you for liking. "I'm feeling great, Tzuyu."

Tzuyu didn't press you any further for the rest of the night and as the evening drew to an end, you had nursed at least a bottle of wine to distract yourself. It only heightened the growing knot of jealousy and despair in your chest as Mina laughed to another joke Jeno had said; leaning in closer to him.

"Please enlighten me on what the fuck the show they're putting on is all about," you asked Chaeyoung with a low voice, and heard by Tzuyu and Jihyo as they turned to you. "Are there cameras around?"

"No," Jihyo shook her head, confusion plastered on her face. "You're going to have to ask Mina that."

Chaeyoung sent Jihyo a warning glare, not wanting her to add any more fuel to the fire. "Y/N, are you sure you're meant to be pouring another glass?"

"We've already taken photos, why the fuck is she acting like this in front of me?" your voice feigned with hurt, ignoring the concerned looks from your friends.

The sight in front of you frayed with your emotions and clawed at your insecurities. They looked so perfect together and she seemed happy. At your expense, you watched as he leaned in closer and captured her lips unexpectedly.

You were met with nothing but only horrified looks from everyone in the room, including Mina. The pain in your heart grew, and the temporary bandaid placed on it ripped apart - the wound you thought was healing was gaping open once again. Without thinking, you slid off your seat; chair scraping harshly against the wooden floors.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go attend more important matters," you held your composure firmly, looking Jeno right in the eye before bowing your head down. "It was nice meeting you, you're perfect for Mina. I hope the rest of you have a good night."

Everyone seemed to hold their breath as they finally pieced what the breaking point in your relationship would be. You turned on your heel, not bothering to look behind you. And with one certainty, you held your head up and slammed the door shut.

Outside, you stumbled down the pavement; the cool winter breeze hitting sharply against your flushed skin. You clenched your fists as you tried to steady yourself through the alcohol and the free-falling of your tears - the picture of Mina and Jeno kissing replaying in your head, sealing it into place.

Behind you were audibly hurried footsteps, and Mina's voice echoed throughout the street as she called for you to halt. You quickened your pace but anyone sober was guaranteed to be faster than you. "Please let me explain, Y/N," she pled desperately, grabbing your arm.

"Explain what?" your voice was cold, another set of tears making its way down your face. "How do you explain kissing someone else in front of me? You barely spared me a glance tonight and now you want me to listen to your bullshit?"

Her grip tightened, fearing that you would slip through the cracks and leave her completely. "He doesn't know about us. It's all my fault, I'm sorry, I know I should've told him beforehand but I assumed he would've gotten the hint after meeting you —"

It felt like another punch to the gut. "He doesn't know we're dating?"

The fake relationship with Jeno was supposed to make things better for you and Mina, but it felt like he was slowly seeping into your lives, casting you to the sidelines. You failed to notice all the Jeno this and Jeno that, but it all came to you at once now.

What you had witnessed tonight; the way she slipped into that fake relationship felt too real - it looked like what you two once had.

Mina's features were etched with fear, eyes glistening with tears, and despite all this mess, she looked gorgeous under the streetlights and your hazy vision. "I love you, please stay over tonight."

Your breath shuddered in disbelief. "You want me to go back and watch you play housewife with this guy? Don't you think your actions have embarrassed me in front of our friends enough, Mina?"

"Okay," she heaved out a sigh, pausing to consider her other options. "Then please let me come home with you tonight."

One thing about her was that she was stubborn - always almost determined to win you back immediately after arguments. You've never felt to defeated in your life; in the back of your mind, you knew you were never good enough for Mina.

In your eyes, she was a bright star with so much ahead of her future and the shadow you casted over only dimmed her; she deserved someone who would let her shine. And tonight, you saw that in him.

You shook your head, turning away from her. "Forget about this, okay? Go home, Mina.”

"Y/N, you're not listening to me," her voice trembled. "I wanna come home to you."

Ignoring her desperate pleas, you continued to walk ahead of Mina - widening the gap between the two of you. In one last final act, her body collided with yours from behind, arms wrapped around your waist tightly.

"Mina," you tried to wriggle your way out, but you undermined the extent of her strength. "Let go, people are going to fucking see!"

"Then let them," she cried out. "I'll end this stupid contract and tell him about you and how I have loved you for the past four years. No more drifting apart, my love, it all ends tonight."

You finally gave in to her touch, allowing yourself to lean against her. You began to think about all the things she gave up for you; ones that would've been beneficial for her career but in the end, Mina always chose you. And tonight was no different from that.

She was willing to defy everyone else, with her career on the front lines, just to keep you in her life - but why?

"I love you," she whispered, breaking the silence. "Please don't give up on me now."

You took a deep breath, turning around to face her. "Okay," a flash of hurt appeared in her eyes as she took a good look at your tear-streaked face - regret filling her body knowing that she caused it.

"Okay what, baby?"

"Okay, you can come home to me tonight...after you do all of that."

Her eyes lit up, pulling your face in for a kiss but you immediately stopped her. She looked at you, a mix of hurt and confusion plastered on her face. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want his germs on me, please brush your teeth first," you put your hand up in disgust. "I'll see you at home, okay?"

She chuckled, nodding her head in understanding. "I love you baby, text me when you get dropped home."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

For the next three months, things settled down for a while. In the eyes of the public, Mina was still dating Jeno - you two figured out that it would be too soon to end it and would only make things worst for the both of you. Their dates were less frequent due to her insistence; she fought for your relationship like she would. And he was extremely apologetic about his actions that night.

The two of you were rediscovering your love for each other, coming out stronger than before. Days were filled with laughter and heartfelt conversation - you were rebuilding your safe space together once more.

Things were good, until they weren't.

You were more careful than before, even after JYP offered an extension of your contract that came with a new apartment in the same building as Twice.

This allowed you to spend more time with the girls whenever you had the chance, hence why you were currently sitting on their couch with a bowl of bulgogi in your hand whilst Mina was away...which seemed more frequent nowadays.

After some blissful weeks together, the shadows of the past were creeping up behind Mina, and the person the came with it was Jeno.

They had frequent shoots for international brands together and were practically the face of the industry after one of their Prada campaigns went viral. The thought that often lingered in the back of your mind, the one that told you that you weren't good enough for Mina, was beginning to resurface in her absence.

"Can you cut more trees for us, Somi?" Chaeyoung rasped out. "Stop swooning that useless and ugly man over, the village doesn't need more mouths to feed right now!"

You chuckled at her frustration, eyes glued to the screen. Tonight's game was Medieval Dynasty, and both Chaeyoung and Somi were new to it. Usually, it was Mina playing it with you but with her often gone, you managed to convince one of her members to play with it - who also swayed her friends, Somi, into it.”

"I don't care, I wanna see useless and ugly babies," she snickered, eyes quickly falling on you. "Can you throw a mouthful of that into my mouth, please? It smells really good.”

"Have some damn shame, Somi," Chaeyoung said, fake annoyance laced in her tone. "Put some in my mouth first.”

"And what makes you two think I'll give you some?" you quirked up an eyebrow. "I asked if you wanted any but you chose to order sushi instead, so live with that decision."

"I just cut you thirty-four trees you ungrateful brat!"

"And I just built you three houses and a hunting lodge, plus I gave you my copper axe."

As the night continued, the nagging doubt inside your mind gnawed stronger - constantly looming over your thoughts. It was nearly midnight and it was unusual for her to be out this late.

to: minari

hey baby, you good? when are you coming home

from: minari

Was out with jeno and some of his members tonight, on mg way home now. Sorry!!!

You frowned; she couldn't even tell you that beforehand. Jamming your phone back into your pocket, you grabbed the controller in frustration again. Jihyo woke up from her "nap" (which was six hours long, you counted) and took the empty space on the couch next to you.

"Was that Mina?" she mirrored your expression. "Why isn't she home yet?”

"Went out with Jeno and his friends," you mumbled, eyes focused on the screen and failing to notice the glances your friends exchanged with each other. "Chaeng, I think you should build a huge orchard. I have all these seeds for you."

Not too long after, the door rang open and Mina stumbled inside; hair messy and eyes red. The scent of alcohol entered the room with her and the laughter faded into concerned looks.

"Hello," she slurred, struggling to kick her heels off her feet. "Hello everyone, sorry for interrupting."

Your heart immediately sank at the state of her, walking over towards her to hold her up. "Christ Mina, how much did you drink?"

She sheepishly smiled at you. "I'd rather not count."

"Okay, let's get you to bed," you said, suppressing your anger for tomorrow's conversation.

As you laid next to Mina with a million thoughts running through your head, you took note of his scent lingering a little too long on her.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

The next few days grew longer. Mina was out almost every night, barely making time for you. You were seated on the edge of your bed, hands buried in your face after Mina had slammed the door on you after voicing out your growing concern about her spending too much time with Jeno.

"You know this is important for my career, right?" she immediately turned defensive after hearing the familiar tone in your voice. "Y/N, the man you speak of is actually boosting Twice again. The girls are getting booked more -"

"And that's awesome," you said gently, going back into the mental box you built around yourself after stepping a foot out. "I don't have a problem with that, but Mina, it's affecting our relationship. I'm not seeing you, you're always out and when you come home, you're hammered. I'm not getting any sleep just staying up to look after you, it's unfair, I have work to do too."

That didn't help your case because she just seemed angrier than a second ago. "Why are you being so selfish? It's always about our fucking relationship and never about my career, do you even care about me?"

"Is it selfish to ask you for the bare minimum?" you bit your lip. "I want you to show our relationship a tinge of respect."

"You're so clingy all the time, I can't stand it," her frustrations were cut short with the sound of her phone ringing. "Why do you always start pointless arguments when I'm just about to leave?"

You sent her a glare. "If you leave now, you can sleep at your dorm tonight."

"Perfect," she clenched her jaw with no hesitance in her voice. "Goodbye, have a nice night!"

That night, you accidentally found out from Momo that your girlfriend didn't end up coming home. Accidentally...because she ended up asking where Mina was after she didn't show up to practice.

You knew the worst had already happened a long time, you felt it in your gut. Something shifted in Mina and its been going on for weeks now, the distant look in her eyes, their intimate photos together - she had been pulling away from you for some time now but you loved her too much to let her go.

Four years. Four years of building your life around your future and this was how it was going to end, tainted by her betrayal.

That wasn't even the turning point for you. No, it wasn't when the girls cornered you into a table in an attempt to talk you into confronting Mina about her late nights, not the photos plastered all over online - the ones with her head on his chest outside of a restaurant in Gangnam and definitely not the smell of his perfume on her clothes.

You knew it was truly over when she barged into your apartment one night with marks all over neck.

The room was illuminated by the television, a random Anerican show playing in the background. Your eyes were glued to the clock on the wall, a glass of whiskey on your hand as you waited for her to come home. She was supposed to be here four hours ago for your anniversary dinner...and she didn't turn up.

Mina was now living a fast life and you fell behind. You sprawled out on the couch, loosening the tie on your neck as you pictured a desolate life without her. It would end all the heartbreak, for sure, but could you really do it without her?

The door creaked open, revealing the disheveled woman in front of you. The knot in your chest tightened, eyes failing to ignore the dark spots on her neck.

"Y/N baby, you're still up?" your presence startled her, assuming you'd be asleep by now, she didn't even bother to hide it.

"Do you know what today is?" your grip on the glass tightened when she remained silent. "Happy fifth anniversary."

The severity of her shortcomings instantly dawned on her, rendering her frozen in her spot. It seemed like those three words pulled her out of the safe bubble she had been living in - away from all the guilt that had been eating its way into her chest. She knew that you have known for a while now, yet she was too selfish to let you go.

Deep inside, Mina needed you more than you needed her.

"It's not what you think -" she stammered, struggling to find a decent explanation.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" you asked her, voice dangerously calmer than expected. "You forget our anniversary and come home to me with hickeys on your neck? After five years together, you dwindle me down into a stupid idiot - how could you stoop so low?"

She flinched at your tone, noticing the half-empty bottle of whiskey and a gift box on the table. "I know there's nothing in this world -"

"You only get to speak when I'm fucking done talking to you, Mina," you stood up, towering over her - your anger rising. You couldn't look at her, she was a stranger to you now and the thought of it hurt. "How fucking dare you. After all these years!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, never having seen this side of you. You were always gentle, even during heated arguments where all she did was yell at you, you remained calm. "I don't know what happened, Y/N, but please, give me another chance to make it right."

She searched for love in your eyes and found nothing but indifference. You were enraged, her betrayal slashing deep cuts into the home you built for her inside your heart. Everything was crumbling apart, each fall carrying the weight of your love for her.

"Get out of house," you said through clenched teeth. "And my life."

This was the end.

Mina stepped closer, eyes filled with regret. She reached out for you, but you slapped her hand away. "I love you so much, I'm so sorry for everything. I know I ruined it, but we can fix this, Y/N, I'll do anything just to get what we had back."

You shook your head, refusing to shed another tear for her. "Fix this? I can't even look at you without feeling disgusted. It's gone, Mina, the love that we shared is gone. You threw it out of the window."

She remained silent, the weight of her own actions bearing heavy on her shoulders. "I understand," she nodded slowly, choking a sob out. "But I'll wait for you, until you're ready to fix things with me."

You held your breath. "Don't you get it? There's nothing left to fix. Please go now before I say anything I'll regret.”

"No," she shook her head, trying to intertwine your fingers together. "You and me always forever, right? I love you, please don't leave me."

A forced smile tugged on the corners of your lips as you were starkly reminded of the happy memories you shared with her over the years. It calmed you in an instant. "And let's keep it that way by letting each other go. Don't ruin any more memories for me, Mina, I don't think we can fix this. We have to move on separately."

"Let me remember you," her fingers desperately traced your face, her eyes closed as she brushed over your features - heart shattering at the thought of not seeing them anymore. "I don't know how to let you go."

You gently placed a hand on top of hers, stopping her. "Goodbye, Mina."

Tears cascaded over her cheeks as she tried to understand why she needed to let you go. "I've hurt you enough, haven't I?"

You didn't say anything as your eyes followed her towards the door, each step she took felt like another knife to your chest. As soon as her hand reached the handle, she turned towards you with a grateful smile on her face amidst her tears.

"Thank you, for everything. For being you. And for allowing me to love you. Goodbye for now, Y/N."

The door behind her closed with a gentle thud, the harrowing silence of your loss echoing. The loneliness was beginning to settle in your heart as you threw yourself back on the couch. Memories of her felt so distant now, but the way they made you feel were real. She loved you in those moments.

You weren't certain about what the future held for you, it was going to be a rough road ahead of you but you hoped to find yourself again. And maybe, live a life where love didn't have to hurt this much.

₊✩‧₊ ⎯  one last dance

『 ♡ Bakugo x reader 』

content // college au (21+). fluff. you & bakugo dance at one of mina’s parties and leave everyone cheering for more!

note // happy belated softie sunday! I think we all need a little soft bakugo this week. 🧡

College parties are the last place Bakugo wants to be, especially one of Ashido and Kirishima’s house parties. He could be sound asleep after a successful night of studying, but here he is, sitting on the couch and nursing a beer for the last thirty minutes. He’s checked his phone ten times since he sat down, anxiously awaiting your arrival since the party started. Ashido guaranteed that you’d be here - the only reason he showed up in the first place. Why else would he subject himself to such an environment? The majority of the people at this party annoyed the ever loving hell out of him, too loud and obnoxious for his liking.

A sudden rush of air followed by someone hopping over the back of the couch startles Bakugo, juggling his phone in one hand and raising his beer with the other to avoid spilling it everywhere.

“Th’ fuck is your prob—” he snaps, stopping himself as your bright smile blinds him and catches him off guard.

“Hope I didn’t keep you waiting long!” You chirp cheerfully, leaning your full weight against him as you sink into the cushions. “Lame party, huh?”

He slips his phone back into his pocket with a grumble and switches the beer into his right hand. His left arm stretches across the back of the couch to make room for you to nestle into his side.

“S’not so bad,” Bakugo mutters, barely audible over the bass of the music flowing through the house. When the song changes to one you recognize, your eyes light up with excitement, jumping to your feet and extending your hand to him.

“I know you don’t dance, and I’ve asked dozens of times before, but I’m going keep trying to get your ass off this couch at every damn party. Dance with me, please?”

How the hell can he say no to that? He’s resisted your temptations long enough, maybe indulging once wouldn’t hurt. Bakugo puts his beer on the nearest table and stands to take your hand. “Fine, one song.”

He hopes you can’t feel the sweat beginning to coat his palm, or the trembling of his fingers wrapped around yours. You pull him into the middle of the living room alongside the others, but to him, you’re the only two in the room. The song is a mixture of slow and fast, some pop punk cover of a recent radio hit. You don’t rush Bakugo, taking your time to take both of his hands before twirling around in front of him, hips effortlessly swaying to the tempo of the song while his arms are crossed in front of you. He can feel his body radiating heat, all of his concentration centered on keeping his shit together while you glide your body around him like a feather in the wind. When the beat slows, he forcibly spins you to face him before he can chicken out, pulling you close until your chests are touching, one hand slipping to the small of your back to keep you close.

The two of you don’t realize you have an audience - friends silently gathering in the doorway to the living room to join the others in watching the two of you unintentionally take over the dance floor. Ashido, Kirishima, Kaminari, Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki and Jiro all staring with stars in their eyes, a joint “oh my god are they finally gonna do it?” murmur amongst them.

Bakugo’s other hand rests on your collarbone, relishing in the bare skin contact for a moment before moving to your waist, shifting you to spin in tandem. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, flying blind and doing what feels right in the moment. The song is winding down, the final echo of the chorus ringing in his ears when he makes a split second choice - his free hand runs down the back of your thigh while he dips you back, watching as you instinctively stretch back to accentuate the movement. Right as the song ends, Bakugo’s got you cradled against him when someone cuts the music entirely, and suddenly…everyone is staring at you two.

“Kiss her!” Ashido yells, inciting a chant amongst the crowd. Kirishima and the others begin yelling “Kiss!” repeatedly with everyone else.

This is not how Bakugo envisioned kissing you for the first time, but he’s pined after you for so long, he can’t take a chance on missing this shot to go from friends to…something more. Shakily, his one hand stays at the small of your back while the other lays against your neck. He can feel your pulse thrumming against his thumb - maybe you wanted this as much as he did after all.

Bakugo leans in close, and the rest of the world falls silent as he whispers, “Can I kiss you?”

No one has ever asked to kiss you, they usually steal what they want and leave you for their next catch of the week. But this? This is what you’ve been waiting for, and he’s been here the whole goddamn time.

You want to say something witty, some smart remark to make this moment light hearted, but you can’t. The words won’t come out, so you settle on a cheesy smile and excited nod. With your permission, his hand moves to the back of your head and under your ponytail to pull you into his orbit. You wrap your arms around his neck as cheers begin to erupt from everyone around you. And when your lips gently touch, you can’t help the giggle that surfaces, and shockingly enough, you feel Bakugo chuckle in response. When he backs away from your lips, you tug him back in for a second, not wanting the moment to pass just yet.

“Yeah!!! Finally!” Jiro shouts, fist bumping with Kirishima and Kaminari with glee.

The crowd begins to mingle back into the swing of the party as the music resumes, leaving the two of you breathless in the middle of it all.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m starving. Wanna ditch this party and get dinner?” You ask with a grin.

Bakugo laughs while tucking a stray hair behind your ear. “Ya don’t have to ask me twice, let’s get the fuck outta here.”

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pulling down your skirt one more time, you smooth the wrinkle that keeps forming across the middle.  Looking at the address, you see the huge complex ahead of you.  What the fuck am I doing here?? has been methodically pounding through your brain since you stepped off the train at the station. Your stomach explodes into a mess of nerves, fear and excitement, you wonder who will be there when you get to his apartment.  Definitely Dynamite, right?  You bite your lip, you hope he’s one of the three.  Taking a deep breath, you cross the street quickly, Mina still hasn’t texted back.  You’re half-tempted to wait for her before going in, your stomach exploding with butterflies again just thinking of going up to the apartment. You can feel the wetness now rubbing between your thighs, you groan, maybe crotchless panties weren't such a good idea. What the fuck am I doing here?? runs through your brain again.  It’s all fucking Mina’s fault, the fucking traitor.  You appreciate her as a friend, she did get you the job at the agency and she’s been introducing you to all of your favorite heroes.  She knows the ones you’ve got pinned on the walls of your apartment, the little minx.  Your first few months had been going great, a few get togethers, drinks, dinners, you’d slowly been getting to know them all.  Bakugou still scared the shit out of you, so making eye contact with him was next to impossible, but when you did, fuck, you could swear there was a glint in those crimson eyes.  Everyone else had been so nice, nothing strange, well, until last night.  “Fucking Mina,” you mutter for the umpteenth time.  What the fuck am I doing here?? You know what happened and why you’re here.  Thinking back, it was right when things were winding down last night, the last beers ordered.

_____________________

“(y/n), who is your favorite hero at the table?” Mina teased, six pairs of eyes landed on you.

“Oh, um,” your cheeks feel hot, you know your blushing, you jab Mina in the side.

“OW!” She laughs playfully.

“Come on, we know you gotta favorite,” Sero smiles, he takes a swig of his beer, his eyes landing appreciatively on your breasts.

Fixing your shirt, you feel stupid for wearing this button up top, it’s your favorite but you’ve been so freaked out with the new job you’ve been stress eating and everything’s a little bit bigger than usual.  You look down, the adjustment only pulls on the button more, it looks ready to pop.  You hear a chuckle from Bakugou, you look back up shyly, his piercing red eyes look ready to yank the button free.  Reaching blindly behind you, your finger catches the small sweater you brought and you slide it on quickly, trying to pull it over you.  You hear him clicking his tongue.

“Too pretty to hide those,”  he hooks a finger in your sweater pushing it back off your shoulder.  Your freeze, barely able to breath, did he just compliment your breasts?  You decide to do nothing, leaving your sweater half-on, he smirks and goes back to drinking and talking to Todoroki. Grabbing a napkin you wipe your palms off quickly.  You grab the cold bottle of beer and take a swig.

“So Mina told us a little story about you.” Kaminari says casually watching you give up on your sweater, his eyes twinkling.

Beer comes flying out your mouth as you spit on your blouse and the table, “oh shit!”  You grab the napkin you were using a moment ago and wipe at the rapidly growing wet spot on your blouse, your pink bra now visible.  You grab your sweater and pull it over yourself, this time ignoring the noises coming from Bakugou.

“Mina!” You hiss, pinching her.  “What did you tell them!?”  But you know, by the look in his eye, she told them the story. “That was not your story to tell!” You continue to seethe at her.  

“What?!?” Mina grins at you.

“Friendship is something to be cherished,” Izuku says softly.

“You would say that Deku,” Bakugou snipes back rudely, “I don’t think they were cherishing her friendship though.”  He smiles cockily, giving you the once over with his red eyes.

“Look (y/n), I’m sorry,” Mina giggles, “one thing led to another and it came out, what’s the big deal? It was just a foursome.” Mina pulls away from your pinching fingers.

Red blotches shine on your cheeks, you know you’re blushing so hard you want to cry, you cover your eyes.  “Mina, you are saying things you don’t understand.”

“Then help us understand,” Todoroki’s voice is calm, soothing.  You look up, his eyes are beautiful, you could get lost in their depths.  

“Fine,” you look across the table, they’re staring at you expectantly.  “I-I have four best friends,” you glare at Mina, “well three now.” She shrugs at you.  Rolling your eyes, you look back at the group, “it was graduation and I was hanging with my three guy friends.  We knew we were going our different ways and it was sad.” You shrug, “I was going to miss them.  So we were watching a movie and it just happened.”

“Three men just happened?” Kiri whistled softly, “Mina are we best friends? Wanna watch a movie,” he laughed at her.

“Sure Kiri,” she winked, “anytime.”  You smile looking down at your forgotten beer, that wasn’t so bad.  

“So that was it, you never did another one?” Katsuki’s voice was softer, you notice his eyes are different.

“Well yeah, not really a lot of best friend scenarios these days for me, I just got here three months ago.”  

“We’re your friends, aren’t we (y/n)?” Kaminari practically whines.

“Oh sure!” you gasp, “of course you are, sorry I didn’t mean to imply that you aren’t but, but, not like, I mean you’re all Pro-Heroes.” If possible you’re blushing harder  

A quick exchange of glances shoot across the table, your mind starts to back pedal, you need to get out of this conversation quickly.

“So because we’re Pro-Heroes, it’s different?” Midoriya leans forward, his brows arched.

“No, I mean, well, not like you’d be into something like that with me, I mean, not a foursome but just me,” you slap your hand over your mouth, “I’m stopping now, I think I should go home.”

“Wait, wait, wait!” A multitude of voices ring out, Bakugou’s hand shoots out holding you. 

“What if we were interested,” his voice husky, almost a purr.  Chills race down your spine pooling in your stomach, you can feel yourself getting wet just from the tone of his voice.

“If you were?” You’re lost for a moment, a sweet feeling fluttering in your stomach. “I guess,” you look across the table. “I guess.”

______

And now you’re pushing open the door to an expensive building, of course being a Pro-Hero for almost six years has its benefits.  As you walk to the elevator, the slick between your legs is getting creamier, your thighs are rubbing easily with no friction.  You wonder who will be there.  You'd put your foot down, only three of them, they’d agreed. When you received the text with the address from Todoroki, you figured he was one.  If it was possible you were even wetter now, you hoped he would be in front, sucking him while staring at those eyes, that, you smile, that would be a memory you would relish for a long time.  Pushing the elevator button you enter in the password he’d sent.  The car moves so quickly you lose your stomach for a moment, your head feels dizzy, it slows to a stop, the doors sliding open.  Stepping out to a small landing you freeze, six pairs of eyes are staring at you.

“Oh,” you turn as the doors close, you realize it took you directly into his apartment.  Todoroki jumps to his feet and gives you his hand guiding you into the living room.  The place is amazing, spacious with huge picture windows, you’re sure you’d appreciate it if there weren’t six men staring at you so lasciviously.  “Um,” turning you look back into a large kitchen, “where’s Mina and why are there six of you?”

“Not sure on Mina,” Todoroki offers you a seat on the couch, tugging your skirt down as far as it will go you sit, realizing too late that you’re dripping wet with crotchless panties on, you close your eyes, you can never move again, you’re sure you’ve ruined his couch.

“Are you okay?” Kirishima puts his arm around your shoulder, “you look scared baby.” He rubs your back gently.

“Well, there are six of you here and we agreed on just three.”  An icy fear grips you that three are here to watch.

“We couldn’t decide,” Sero shrugged, “it started to get heated so we decided to let you choose.”  Your jaw drops, you shake your head.

“No, no no, I can’t do that, I, I like all of you.”

“Well not that much, you only want three, so you need to decide,” Katsuki crosses his arms glaring at the others, he was clearly not in a good mood.

“I really can’t.”

“I know it’s not me,” Kaminari hops up, “I’m not usually on the list, so I’ll head out.”

“No wait!” You grab his hand as he walks by, of all of them he’d been the first one you’d loved, maybe not your favorite, but the first one that had touched your heart. “That - that time you took down shredder, the villain in that small town, your shirt was torn.” You blush smiling at him, “your chest was - was bare, you have, the pinkest nipples, are they really like that?”  Your words tumble out of your mouth.  

He’s transfixed, he can’t move, the look on your face.  “(y/n) do you really remember that?”

“I do and all of you, I - I admit I have my favorites but all of you are in my ‘if I met them’ book.”

“What’s that?” Midoriya slides closer to you on the couch.

“Idiot, if I met them I would fuck them.” Katsuki stands, “so does that mean we’re all in on this?”

You gulp, swallowing the no that is rising in your throat, “yes.” You croak out.

“Last question then,” Midoriya's green eyes are now sparkling, “who goes when?”

Eyes darting around the room you spy a bowl of colored glass on the coffee table in front of you. “Here,” you pick it up and hand it to Todoroki, “everyone pick one out, take a picture with your phone, then I’ll choose them blindly.”  They begin pulling out a stone one by one. “Rules,” you quickly look at all of them.

“Rules?” Sero chirps.

“Let her fucking talk asshole.” Katsuki nods to you. Taking a breath you begin.

“Rules, no phones or cameras, put them away, I see a phone or camera, it stops and I mean stops.” Feeling more confident, you stand, forgetting the small wet slick now on the couch.  “Safety word is,” you pick up one of the colored glass pieces, “glass, if I say glass-”

“What if you can’t talk?” Todoroki tips his head.

“Right, okay, if I tap you in any way three times, foot, elbow, finger, you have to call out to the others glass for me.”  Heads nod in agreement.

“Anything else, something you don’t like?”

“No, I’m good with everything.” 

“Everything?” Katsuki repeats pointedly.

Your stomach clenches hard, biting your cheek you turn, lifting your skirt. Red lace crotchless panties hugging your plush curves, you reach behind and opening your butt cheeks you tap on a small butt plug.  Turning quickly you lower your skirt again.  “I’m prepped for everything.”  The room is silent.  Looking up you see Katsuki is leaning forward, jaw slightly open, a laugh escapes.

“Not a lot surprises me sweetie,” he stands up and cups your chin, kissing you, “but you just did.”

“Is that - that good or bad?”

“Very fucking good.”

“Hang on Bakugou, we’re fucking picking stones remember.”

“Fuck you, ever heard of foreplay idiot?”

You take a deep breath, it’s really happening.  Your stomach explodes with anticipation, you feel the slick pooling now, a small drip escaping down your leg, you quickly press your soft thighs together to catch it before it travels much further.  “Okay, I’ll pick a rock, here we go.”  

“Wait,” Todoroki walks to a desk and pulls out a small scarf, “we don’t want you to cheat.”

“Cheat?” You huff, stopping as you realize he’s about to blindfold you.  “Ah, oh, okay,” he gently puts the scarf around your eyes, tying the back.  You feel his lips press into your shoulder, kissing you.  Reaching in again you pull out the first rock.

“YES!” Twisting around blindly you recognize Kirishima’s voice.  A hand palms your ass, “I know what I want,” his breath hot in your ear as he comes up alongside you.  His hand slides down between your thighs, feeling the expanding slick, his fingers glide over your folds. “I’ve been smelling that sweet tang of your pussy since you walked in here, I want this little hot wet cunt in my face to start. I wanna taste you.”  Your breathing is shallow now, you can barely think, the thought of his tongue deep inside of you making your heart race.  

“Next one,” your voice squeaks as you pull another piece of glass, silence. Suddenly full lips cover yours, sucking hard, his tongue slicing through your mouth, hand squeezing your cheeks almost painfully.  

“I want my cock buried deep in her as soon as you’re done.” Katsuki ‘s gruff voice rumbles into your mouth.  Your knees feel weak, another gush from your pussy, you clamp your thighs together stopping the flow. 

“Don’t,” his hand squeezes your cheeks tighter, shoving his leg between your thighs, “I wanna see that fucking cum dripping down your legs.”  

“O-Okay.” Relaxing your thighs, you can feel the pooling drip tickling your skin.  “Fuck, you’re such a good girl,” he purrs in your ear, his voice causing a riot in your body.  His thick fingers slide up your thighs capturing the drip, you hear as he sucks on them slowly, slurping.  “You may have picked the second best spot, Shitty Hair, she tastes really good.”

Hand shaking you grab another rock, lifting it in the air.  A hand slides up your skirt tapping your butt plug.  You whirl your head looking for the source of the light touch.  “I want this right here,” Midoriya’s soft voice comes up behind you, his hands on your bare ass.  “This is magical back here, I’m gonna play with this a little bit first.”  His mouth tickles your neck as he twists the plug in your hole.

Gasping you lean back into him, his hands slide around you holding you up, “need help steadying yourself?”  Izuku’s leg now moving in behind you pressing against your wet pussy. “You feel ready for us baby doll, can you feel how ready I am for you?” He rubs his hard cock into your back.

“Yes,” you whimper at the pressure against your clit.

“Pick more rocks (y/n),” Katsuki starts squeezing your nipples beneath your thin bra.  Nodding you grab another rock, body trembling waiting for another one to approach you.  His fingers are icy, immediately you know, it's Todoroki.  His thumb presses into your mouth, fingers cupping your chin.  He pushes down on your tongue firmly, saliva pooling in your mouth, you can feel it start to gather at the corner of your lips.

“I want this sweet mouth on my cock,” he watches as your saliva slips down your chin.  “I think our sweet little girl has a nice throat where I can nestle my dick.” You feel the warmth of his lips on your cheek. “Pick between the last two rocks,” he whispers in your ear.  You feel the two rocks and grab one. You hear laughing, Sero, a finger suddenly pushes into your pussy.

“Oh shit,” you jump, you turn towards his voice, “that scared me.”

“Kiri, man, wanna eat her out together?”

“Hell ya,” you can hear them thumping each other’s back.  You groan loudly at the thought of two tongues.

“Looks like I’m last,” you can hear the disappointment in Kaminari’s voice.

“Kaminari,” your voice is shaking.

“Denki, (y/n), call me Denki,” you can feel him next to you, kissing your neck.

“Mmm, that's nice Denki,” Reaching out you can feel him, his thigh under your hand, walking your fingers up his leg you can feel his swollen cock straining against his pants.  “I’m really good with my hands Denki,” you whisper, splaying your fingers against him, rubbing along the outline of his shaft.  

“(y/n) baby,” he breathes against your skin, “I think I love you,” he sighs, you can feel him unbuttoning his pants. 

“It’s time (y/n), time to be our own sweet little toy, you ready?” Katsuki’s voice in your other ear, hot tongue licking at your lobe. “I’m so fucking hard, I’m gonna burst just looking at you.” 

“Mmm,” you nod, thoughts fleeting, the anticipation rippling through your body, you can’t take it, every nerve is alive waiting for them.

You’re not sure who is touching you but hands are tugging your shirt over your head, a hot mouth on your breast, sucking your nipple through your bra. You jerk at the touch, another hand pulling down your skirt. 

“Appreciate the lingerie (y/n), what a nice touch.” Hands pulling off your bra and underwear as a thick arm wraps around your waist. Your arms being held tightly, you feel as your body is lifted and spun around, suspended, you hear Kirishima chuckle as he sets you down.

“Reach out.”

You hold out your arms feeling a soft blanket, your knees hit the ground. 

“All fours baby girl,” you recognize Katsuki’s gruff voice.  “And spread ‘em for Kiri, he looks like he’s gonna fucking die if he doesn’t get his tongue in you now.”   Steadying yourself, you start to open your legs as hands grab at your soft thighs spreading you wide open forcefully, a thick tongue laps at your sensitive folds sliding all the way back to your butt plug.  He takes the end in his mouth and tugs hard.  You moan as you clench your ass sucking it back into your body.  

“Fuck Midoriya, you gotta a nice surprise here.”  Kiri moves back to your dripping wet cunt, licking slowly he sucks on your clit, causing a whimper to escape from your throat.  His laughter causes vibrations that make your toes curl as he flicks his tongue playfully into your wet warmth.  Another mouth latches onto your clit, sucking, you arch your back  as the sweet familiar ball that pulses against your clit expands in your belly.

“Ung,” you gasp as a hard dick slaps your face, the tip running across your mouth, precum smearing over your lips.  Smiling you know it’s Todoroki, licking your lips, you open wide, hanging out your tongue.

“Sweet fucking toy, what a good girl,” his voice cool as he pushes the tip into your mouth but you can hear the slight tremor under the calm.  Wrapping your lips around the tip, you suck greedily, flattening your tongue rubbing against his sensitive skin.  His fingers dig into your hair, “fuck, (y/n)” Todoroki grits through his teeth.

Rough wet fingers begin pinching your nipples, twisting them, you jerk from the sudden jolt, the intense ball curling tighter until it pops. Your cry muffled around the cock in your mouth, your walls clenching, cum runs into Kiri’s mouth.  You hear him groan as he drinks you into his mouth.

“You cum already?” Katsuki’s voice is husky, tongue sweeping around your ear again, sucking at your earlobe.  “I like how sensitive you are.” Your body shudders as every part of you is under assault, the tremor of your orgasm barely calming as the next one begins to build.  

The tongue in your pussy is so fucking deep now, you have to concentrate to focus on the dick in your throat, swallowing again.  Eijiro’s thick finger joins his tongue, curving into your spongy warmth finding your spot. “E!” you scream around Todoroki’s dick.  Eijiro starts laughing, flicking and thrusting harder.  Sero, still tonguing your clit, uses his teeth to start nibbling gently. The intense feeling shoots up through your body, walls clenching as you can feel your orgasm already peaking.  

“(y/n)” Denki’s voice now close to you, he tugs on your arm.  Balancing yourself you reach out, you feel Denki thrust his dick into your hand, cool lube dripping down your fingers.  Taking his shaft in your hand, you breath in deep, focus (y/n)!  Your mind wants to melt away in the pleasure coursing through your body.  Rubbing your thumb over the tip of his cock,  your fingers slip over the top, letting them all slide firmly down, until the tip hits your palm, you pull back up.  

“(y/n)! That feels so fucking good!” You smile as Denki squeezes your arm, letting you sweetly torture his cock. 

Cold lube begins to drip into your ass, you clench at the feeling.  You’ve been mentally preparing for this, fuck, the cock in your throat sliding deeper, the tongue on your clit, fingers on your nipples, dick in your hand.  You’re ready to explode any moment.  Fingers tug at the plug, pulling gently, just enough that it emerges halfway.  Your groans loud now, salvia slipping down your chin, Izuku slams the plug back in your ass.  Everything comes apart, eyes rolling back,  your walls clenching on the tongue shoved deep, you scream around the cock. Todoroki slams himself into your throat, his hand holding your head. 

“You got it baby girl, take me, I know you can.” He gently strokes your cheek as he pushes deeper. “Take me in your throat.” Obediently you open your throat, you can’t breath, tears soaking the scarf, some now slipping down your cheeks, your walls flutter as another wave rips through you.  The mouth on your pussy latching on, drinking every drop gushing from your body, tongue coaxing you through your orgasm.

“Aaa!” You cry out around Todoroki’s cock, but he grabs your hair and shoves you deeper onto his dick.  Sliding down into your throat you instinctively swallow, his deep growl and clenching fists in your hair make you smile.

“(y/n) do that again,” Shoto’s voice is losing control now, shaking with need.

“It’s fucking time Kiri, get the fuck out of the way, our good little girl needs to be fucked deep.”  You feel Katsuki’s dick on your back, as he bounces it off of you.  “Deku, you can take our little toy in the ass, while I fuck her.”

“Hey I wanna still suck on her,” you hear Sero whine.  

“Go to her other hand Sero, fuck me, she’s got good hands,” Denki’s shivering as your hand now pumps his cock, thumbing the tip.  

Another cock, your lightheaded, another cock in your hand.  You reach down cupping Sero’s balls trying to keep yourself from passing out. Unable to breathe, you suck harder, squeezing Todoroki into your throat.  Pulling back, he gasps spurting hot streams of cum into your mouth.  You suckle him, swallowing every drop.  

“Good girl,” he coos, “that’s right,” yanking your head up by your hair, “show me your mouth,” he commands.  Coughing and sucking in your breath sharply, you open your mouth, tongue hanging out.  He grips your tongue, saliva and cum streaming on the floor. “How do you feel?” His voice is soft, he thumbs your tongue as another pool of saliva drips to the floor.  You nod, sucking on his thumb.  Chuckling he rubs your cheek gently, you feel his lips caress your temple. “I think she’s ready for another cock,” Todoroki calls out.

A body slides under you, lifting your hips high, a rigid cock bumping against your stomach.

“Katsuki? I mean Bakugou?”  A hand reaches up removing your blindfold.  You blink, red eyes staring into yours.

“Katsuki,” he grunts, smiling at you, his hands digging deep into your thighs. “You ready princess?”  You nod, as he thrusts up, his cock plunging into you.  Fingers on your ass pulling out your plug at the same time, a scream erupts from your throat.

“Fuck!”  You feel like you're being split into two, his thick cock stretching your walls painfully. “Bak- Kat-” tears slide down your cheeks.  “Please,” you wail pleadingly.

“I’ll make you feel fucking fantastic (y/n), hold on sweet girl.” Moving his hips, he grinds himself deep inside, moving against your cervix.  A warmth flushes through you as he begins to lift you off his cock, working into your spongy walls, finding the same spot Kiri had been tickling earlier. Your head snaps back, mouth open as he drives your hips down your pussy taking in his thick cock.  His mouth closes around your nipple.  Sero’s cock moves from your hand, you look up as he calls to you.

“Hey (y/n), sweet girl, I’ve got a nice cock for you.” He smooths your hair back, tucking a strand behind your ear.  “You wanna suck me?”

You laugh as you try to focus on his question, the huge cock slamming into your pussy pulling every thought from your head.  Opening your mouth,  he grips your face. 

“Hey baby,” he runs his hand down your jawline, “Our girl,” Sero calls gently. “Ready for me?”

“Y-Yes,” you stammer sticking out your tongue, as another thrust plunges Katsuki’s cock deep in your pussy.  “Ng.”

Izuku kisses your lower back, “I love your ass (y/n), look at you, so fucking good, want me baby girl?” His hands grip your cheeks as thumbs spread you wide, Izuku’s dick pushing into your hole, thrusting slowly, teasing your rim until Katsuki slams you down, causing Izuku’s cock to bury in your ass in one thrust.

“FUCK!” You scream, a shuddering orgasm sweeps through your body, walls clenching down hard on both cocks in your body.  

Sero thrusts his dick into your mouth, grabbing your head, slamming into your throat.  Gulping you suck on the dick in your mouth, your hand gripping Denki, you feel his cock bulging, you rub him as ropes of cum spray across your arm.

“Fuck, fuck, that felt good.” Denki sinks down to his knees. 

Your body explodes, every nerve alive as you shake, jolts of pleasure rock your pussy.

“Look at you fucking gushing on my balls,” Katsuki thrusts up again, loving how tight your wet walls clench on him as you cum.  Reaching down he kneads your clit, “so fucking wet, so damn tight, fuck you feel good.”

“Mmmm,” you hum on the sweet cock in your mouth, wrapping your tongue around Sero’s thick shaft.  He pushes deeper into your mouth, his tip teasing your throat. 

“Can you do it for me? Can my little angel deep throat me?” You nod letting him slide into your throat, the gag comes fast but you swallow hard against it, Sero laughs harshly.  “When you gag it feels fucking fantastic,” he thrusts hard again, causing you to gag.  “Fuck yes,” he pulls out pumping his cock, as his thick cum stripes across your face.  “You look so good like that.”  

You try to answer, try to hear what he’s saying but then Katsuki and Izuku are both thrusting inside of you, their dicks filling you so full your head is swimming.  Your clit is swollen but those rough fingers continue to pull at the growing tension. Both slam into you pulling you down hard, you’re shaking again, walls clamping down on the thick cock in your pussy, you can feel Katsuki double pump into you as hot cum fills you.

“Fuck, fucking tight pussy,” he shoves his dick deep inside, you pant as the last of your orgasm washes over you.  Your ass still full as Izuku reaches around twisting your nipples, he bites your back. 

“Fuck (y/n), your ass is so fucking tight, can I cum inside?” 

“Yes Zuki,” you mewl as he pounds your ass, he can’t hold on, his cock being squeezed as you milk him.  He falls forwards onto your back kissing you gently.  

You feel like collapsing, everything shaking, “I can’t,” the words barely out when someone is kissing you, licking your lips.  “Are you okay sweet girl?”  

“So many,” you laugh looking up, it’s Denki, he’s pumping his cock, now hard.  You smile, “you want my mouth?”

“I do baby, oh fuck I do, can you lick it first?”

“Yeah Denks,” You smile at him sweetly.  He grips your hair as he pushes into your mouth, you tickle him with the tip of your tongue, pressing it into the slit at the tip.  “Oh fuck (y/n), that feels so good baby.”  You stare into his eyes as you lick and suck down the length of his cock.  Yellow eyes blazing, he watches you.  Katsuki lifts your body as he moves from underneath you, his mouth pressing into your back, his hot tongue tracing a path to your lower back.  You arch at the tickling sensation, you groan and thrust looking for something to fill your emptiness.

“Who’s next?” Katsuki asks gruffly, running his hand appreciatively over your ass.  You turn for a moment catching Kiri’s wicked gleam as he’s pumping his huge cock.  Denki grabs your head and swings you back around.

“Focus on me (y/n), that’s my girl,” he purrs as you begin sucking again on just the tip.  “I like it when you play with me like that.”  You smile and wink as you open your mouth wide, hang your tongue and move your head sliding his sensitive frenulum against your rough skin, saliva pooling on the blanket.  His golden eyes flutter as he watches you.

Another warm body slides under you, rough hands on both sides as someone lifts you up, settling your hot pussy against another thick cock.  Your body trembles instinctively waiting, rubbing his cock against your pink folds, you hear Kiri underneath you.

“Look at these tits, girl, fuck, you have some gorgeous nipples.” His hot mouth suckling on one, you thrust again, the tip of his cock pressing harder, stretching your entrance, hands on your hips stills your thrusts.

“Not yet baby girl, I wanna make you gush on my cock before I fuck this tight pussy.”  Whining softly you wrap your lips around Denki’s cock sucking hard.  You hear Kiri chuckle at your complaint, he teases your nipple more, biting and twisting at the hard nub, sending more jolts of pleasure through your empty pussy.  The cold touch on your ass makes you gasp.  Denki holds you firm on his cock as you try to look, he shakes his head.  Smiling his eyes dart up and back to you.

“Looks like Todoroki’s getting ready to plunge that tight ass of yours.”  You blink as the tip of his cock starts to push against your stretched puckered hole.  You clench at the touch, suddenly a sharp slap on your ass sends needling pain along your skin.  

“Wha?” You mouth around Denki’s cock trying to pull back harder. 

“I don’t think you’re being a good girl back there,”  Denki scolds you.

“Relax (y/n), don’t fight us now” the deep timbre of Katsuki in your ear, you nod continuing to suck on Denki.  The cock against your stretching hole pushes deeper, you sigh now as it slides easily home.  

“There you go, fuck you are one dirty girl, aren’t you.  Our sweet slut, only ours though right?”

“Aaa,” you try to answer but Denki has your head pushed against the base of his cock, holding you firm as he grinds against your face, soft golden pubic hair tickling your nose.

“Suck him hard baby,” Katsuki’s hot tongue licks your ear, biting on the edge, his warm breath joins with Eijiro sucking on your nipple. Fiery chills collide with the tingling warmth from Shoto’s cock sliding into your ass.  “You gonna cum?” Katsuki bites harder, his hand on your neck he squeezes gently. “This help?”  Gasping for breath you taste cum as Denki’s hips slam into your face one last time, his eyes rolling back.  You swallow feeling the thick fingers around your neck. “Fuck, I feel you drinking him, you’re such a fucking good toy aren’t you?  Drink it all up sweet girl.”   His mouth continues down your neck as he nuzzles against your skin.  “Time to cum (y/n)” 

Your head bobs as you try to breath pulling off Denki’s cock you cough, desperately dragging in a lungful of air, wheezing as you struggle past Katsuki’s firm grip on your neck.  Your brain starts to swirl, everything tilting.  “Cum - cumming,” your pussy already clenching, your walls desperate for something inside.  “Please,” you sob, “E! Please!” You try to push down on that tantalizing cock just sitting against your entrance but Shoto thrusts up into your ass, slamming deep, he grinds against your plush cheeks, squeezing them with his hands.   Eijiro sucking on your nipple bites down hard. Your cry turns into a soft howl as your thighs shake so hard you can’t hold on, strength leaving every muscle as you jerk hard with the pleasure coursing through your cunt.  

“There you go,” Kiri hums against your nipple, thrusting he splits your clenching pussy. Your howl turns to a choked scream, as blackness begins to descend for a moment as Katsuki crushes your neck, suspending the pleasure, keeping the high going. The big hand releases perfectly timed, air rushes back into your lungs, your scream catches power as your cry reverberates around the room.  You gulp in air, tears now streaming from your eyes as Katsuki’s lips find yours in a punishing kiss cutting off your cries, his hand buried in your hair, his tongue exploring your mouth.

“You taste like Denki,” he laughs in the kiss.  You can’t think as Eijiro’s huge cock is now plunging into your pussy, angling his hips he buries deep grinding into your cervix, popping white flashes blur your vision as you can feel both dicks now inside your body.  The kiss becomes sloppy and needy, as your next orgasm is already charging hard through your body.  Flinging an arm around the big blonde, you suck on Katsuki’s full lips.  

“Cumming again so soon?” The hand in your hair clenches as he bites your lip hard.  Your eyes roll back as another wave rocks your body, you pant in the kiss trying to keep consciousness.

“Fuck baby, fuck so fucking tight,” Shoto slams into your plush ass.  His hips rocking forward letting his hot cum spray into your depths. “Gonna fill you up,” he clenches his teeth as his muscles spasm the warmth spreading through his body.  Opening his bi-colored eyes he sees Midoriya holding the butt plug, waiting for him.  He smiles at him nodding, pulling out quickly watching as Izuku  plugs up your ass.  “Keep our fucking cum in our toy.”

“I wanna turn our baby over, she’s losing her strength,” Katsuki breaks his kiss and pulls you off of Eijiro, your body suddenly empty as you are flipped on your back.  Kiri follows and quickly pushes back into your empty cunt, pulling your legs around his waist, he slides tantalizingly slow inside you until his cock is buried to the hilt.

“All the way in baby,” he grits through clenched teeth, “fuck you are hot.”  Arching your back you thrust deeper onto his cock, your body still trembling from your last orgasm.  Aftershocks rush through you without regard as a new ball of tension already begins to build with every thrust of E’s big cock.

“(y/n),” you hear their voices, both hands feel cool lube as Sero and Izuku guide your fingers around their stiff erections.  Moving your hands in unison you slide down to their balls pushing against their taints, twisting their balls in your fingers.  Both gasp as you tug, wrapping your hand back around their shafts to pump their silken skin. 

“I’m not done with you yet girl, you ready for more?” Red eyes suddenly above you glittering as Katsuki licks his lips.

“I - I’m ready.” You try to nod but Eijiro angles his hips again this time upwards against your sweet spot, you mewl as the tension grows bigger.  “OH! E!”

Katsuki straddles your face, his huge cock hard and twitching, bumping up against his stomach.  

“You got me so fucking turned on (y/n), I’m gonna face fuck you baby.”  Your eyes cross as he plunges into your mouth. Keeping your mind on your hands is impossible. You pump harder feeling the large cocks bulging under your palms.  You can’t breath, the dick in your mouth jamming into your throat.  Then it hits, Eijiro slams deep inside you, hot spurts of cum filling your pussy again as you rock your head back, arching your neck, giving Katsuki full access to your throat.  He growls as he slides deep, his fingers back around your throat.

“I can feel me in you,” he pants as he thrusts harder.  You can’t nod, you can’t think, your pussy clenching hard as another orgasm pulses deep inside, you try to breath again but there's no air.  The blackness starts on the edges of your vision, hot burning red eyes staring into yours as tears drip down your temples.  Warm spurts of cum dribble down your arms as somewhere in the distance you hear Sero and Izuku grunting against their own pleasure.   Your body melts into the blanket as you hear the roar of Katsuki as his face contorts, pulling out he rubs himself as streams of cum splatter your face.  His smile is the last thing you see as the blackness overwhelms you.

_________

Something warm is rubbing your body, a sigh escapes your lips.  Warm breath on your lips, a gentle kiss.  You smile as you wake up, your skin reveling  in the silkiest sheets you’ve ever felt.  Little tremors float up through your pussy and into your ass, blinking you finally focus.  Izuku is above you, concern in his green eyes.  He sighs deep to see you waking up.

“(y/n)?” He strokes your cheek now smiling.  “There you are, sweet girl, scared us there.”  

“Zuki,” you croak, your throat raw, you swallow coughing. 

“Here,” Katsuki sits on the other side of you and lifts your body giving you pills and some water.  You look questioningly at him.  His red eyes soft he nods, “It’ll help with the pain, Shoto’s getting a throat spray to numb your throat too, if you want.”  

Swallowing the pills and water, you grimace at the effort.�� Shaking your head, “okay,” you manage to squeak out.  

“Don’t try to be strong baby,” Eijiro pats your thigh sitting down next to your legs, “we wanna take care of you.” 

“Clean?” You push out through your raw throat.

“Yeah,” Sero blushes as he sits on the other side, “we cleaned you up, Denki washed your hair.”  The golden haired man rubs your foot and smiles at you shyly.  

“Thanks,” you whisper. 

“Here you go,” Shoto walks into the room, handing Katsuki the bottle.

“Open up baby,” obediently you open as he squirts several cooling sprays into the back of your mouth, swallowing you’re relieved to feel the blissful numbness coating your swollen throat.  You nod at him.

“Better.”

“Fuck (y/n), you're amazing” Katsuki murmurs, he kisses you softly.  Red heat stains your cheeks.  He laughs, “now she’s blushing,” he teases you.

“So who gets to keep you?” Sero asks the question, all six sets of eyes land on you.  Startled, you look at each man, all so beautiful it hurts your chest to breathe.

“Keep?” Your throat still croaks although the pain is now gone.

“Baby, we’re all fucking in love with you.” Katsuki kisses your cheek again.  Izuku nods, pushing back the hair that is hanging in your face.

“I - I,” your eyes wide, “can’t choose.” You frown, tears burst from your eyes dripping down your cheeks, you cover your face.

“(y/n), shhh, baby girl,” Shoto coos at you.  Katsuki grips your cheeks and kisses you again.  

“How about we share?” Denki sits at the end of the bed.

“What the fuck share?” Katsuki growls.  

“You fucking shared her today,” Shoto snarls back.

“Kacchan,” Izuku smiles at him.

“Fuck,” he runs his hand through his blonde spikes. “Fine, whatever (y/n) wants.”  A giggle escapes your sore lips as he casts a pouting look your way. “You think this is funny?”  You shake your head behind your hands trying to stop laughing.  “Fine, but I’ll fucking win her over,” he glares at the other Pro-Heroes, “fucking watch me.”

“Not if I make her mine first,” Eijiro slaps at the big blonde’s shoulder.

“You can’t win against me,” Shoto’s beautiful eyes gleam, “I can tell I’m her favorite.”

“You’re all fucking nuts,” Sero grins, “she likes me.”

“Sorry boys, she’s mine.” Izuku grazes your temple softly with his lips.

“But she liked me first,” Denki sighs.

A warmth flushes through your body as you peek between your fingers at each one, your mind whirls, can you really pick just one?

Dracula, seeing Mina come at the cemetery and being forced to stop and leave mid-feeding: "That lowly wench ruined it ...No matter, this girl sleepwalks, I will seek her residence and fly up her window. I resolve that I will deplete her by the time I have to move for London"

Dracula, Once Again seeing Mina, staring at him from that window: (bat screeches)

So the other day I realized that every time I laugh a little hard/loud my mom either physically cringes or tells me to chill out, that day she looked at me and said "It's not THAT funny, geez." And it made me a little more self conscious of my laugh than it should've been maybe?

Anyways, can I request Bakugou noticing everytime the reader almost laughs they quickly cover their mouth and stop themselves from actually letting their laugh out, and confronting them about it? I just need my comfort character to tell me my laugh isn't actually as terrible as I think it is :((

I hope you have a great day, thank you!!

First of all. FirsT OF ALL-

Your laugh is sexy and wonderful and tell whoever says otherwise to kick rocks. Laughter is one of the best ways to release endorphins and raise moods. You laugh at whatever the sam-hell you want because baby, laughter is free and you deserve to do it in comfort.

Now… on to the piece!!

-

It wasn’t just funny. It was downright hilarious.

The tiktok playing on repeat was so goofy, so ridiculous it made absolute cackles pour from your lips. For a moment, you let them fly, and you don’t think twice about it.

That was, until Katsuki came in, drying his hands on the paper towel. “What’re you laughing at?”

Arguably, the worst way he could’ve phrased that.

“Just… Just a video,” you manage, clearing your throat of giggles. “Didn’t mean to take you from your dishes.”

“You didn’t, I wanted to know what was so funny.”

You swallow thickly. He cocks a brow.

“It was nothing,” you brush. He rolls his eyes but he doesn’t press; he knows better than to press your boundaries in such a way.

Drying his hands, he does come over to sit with you on the couch, scrolling on his own phone. It’s quiet, no need to make conversations after being together for so long, but your heart sinks to your stomach when, once again, a video crosses your feed. This time, however, you let no laughter out, and instead smother it with your hands.

Katsuki says nothing, but judging by the way he peered at you from the corner of his currant gaze, you know saw.

More silence.

Another hilarious video, this time from Mina, and it has you whining to try and hide your laughter from pouring out uncontrollably.

This time, however, it makes him speak up.

“You keep doing that,” he says, not even bothering to look up from his phone. Chills shoot up your spine, and your jolt does cause katsuki to peek at you from his scrolling again. “What’s your problem?”

“Nothing,” you defend. “I’m fine.”

“And I don’t believe you.”

“Would you just drop it!”

A smirk quirks on his cheek, “so somethin’ is bothering you.”

A pout etched on your face, almost disappointed he realized something was wrong, and he lets out a soft sigh and turns towards you, his phone being pocketed. “You don’t have to tell me. But I don’t like you lying that it’s nothing. We don’t hide from each other, you know that.”

“Katsuki,” you whimper, adverting your eyes. Silence surrounds you both, and bless katsuki for his patience, but you just want it to end and be left alone. He moves one of his hands to rest on yours, the familiar weight making you feel more at ease.

“Do… do you hate my laugh? Is that why you asked what I was watching? It made me laugh too loud?”

“Huh?” He asks incredulously. Bleach blonde brows furrow in frustration, “of course I don’t hate it, the fuck? I was asking because I wanted to know what was funny. Don’t assume shit, you know better.”

“But you… you didn’t-“

“Literally only wanted to know what was funny. Don’t you know I appreciate a good laugh now and then?”

That, has you about to laugh, but your quick to hide it under a cough and muffled giggles.

He groans, “you’re doing it again. Just laugh, I don’t know what your problem is-“

“My problem is my laugh!” You whine, tears stinging at your eyes. “Don’t you think I want to laugh and have fun and not worry about what people think about the damn noises? How long I laugh? How when I think of a joke, I laugh more? Huh?”

This time, his brows raise, and his eyes widen as he realizes the can of complexity he’s just unleashed. But he doesn’t snap back, he never does; he quickly zones himself back with the new lenses you’ve given him into your mindset.

“Your laugh is fine,” he mumbles, tossing an arm around your shoulder. “I never said you shouldn’t be able to do those things, nor would I. Where’s this coming from anyways?”

You don’t answer him, and he doesn’t press further- he already knows the answer, but you curl into his side to hide away from your insecurities regardless.

“But… but it’s so loud-“

“Yeah, and it’s fine that it is.” His thumb gently strokes over the skin of your arm, “that’s how we know it’s real. Your laugh isn’t a problem or something. It doesn’t bother any of us, and you know dunce-face eats it up when you encourage him with your cackles. It’s cute. I like your laugh. Fuck anyone who says otherwise. Don’t hide that shit, or feel like you even have to.”

“You like it?”

“I do. Makes me all soft to know you find me and my obnoxious ass friends funny.”

Your cheeks flush and you nuzzle into his side, letting his gentle touch bring you back down.

“So…” you begin, and he hums for you to continue. “You really think it’s cute?”

He gives you a small glare and you flash him a smile, “don’t make me regret it.”

“You think I’m cute?”

“You are, in fact, making me regret it.”

“I mean… I am pretty cute-“

“Regretting it,” he snaps before tickling up your sides to make you squeal and laugh once again; but rather your hands cover your mouth, they circle his wrists to move his hands away. “Shut the hell up before I make you regret it.”

“So mean!” You whine, writhing against him. It doesn’t last long, and he moves his hands to instead wrap around you and pull you into his chest, his nose nuzzling the back of your neck. You purr and use your strange position to curl into him, letting his big arms protect you both from whatever insecurities dare try to tread.

“I’m glad you think it’s cute,” you confess, and he chuckles.

“Of course I think it’s cute. Wouldn’t go out of my way to hear it if I didn’t.”

“I think you’re cute, Katsuki.”

He plants a gentle kiss to the tender muscles at the nape of your neck, “I think we’re cute together.”

You crane your neck to look at him, his contented face burrowed into the warmth of your muscles, eyes closed as he all but soaks you in.

“Yeah?” You mewl.

“Fuck yeah.”

g e n s o - 1 2.

a/n: lol so um i barely know how to write fight scenes, so we're starting this chapter like halfway through the calvary battle. we'll start from where monoma steals bakugous headband bc why notttttt

"change of plans... we're getting rid of all these extras.." bakugou seethes looking down at his palms. 

you let out a gulp, "be rational bakugou... even if we do- we have to be careful.. we dont know their quirks..." you state looking up at him.

"shut it genso! im always rational! now get them kirishima!" he growls staring at them menacingly. kirishima rushes forward, "you think youre so tough?!" you grunts before winding back to send an explosion only for monoma to block it.

bakugou grunts turning around quickly to recieve a explosion right to his face. monoma chuckles amused, "no wonder you love this quirk so much..!" he says before hitting kirishima quickly.

"he can copy quirks!" you yell up, quickly figuring out his quirk. bakugou grunts in response sending another explosion at him only for him to block it using kirishimas hardening quirk.

"ah..! looks like we have a smart one here!" he grins. you narrow your eyes getting ready to speak up, when another 1-b student stops you all with his quirk. you look down to see kirishimas leg stuck by some substance. 

"genso! mina! hurry and get rid of it!" commands bakugou as he stares at monomas team running away, "we're loosing them!" 

you and mina both work to burn the substance as quickly as you could. finally, you managed to free his leg "done!" you announce. 

before you could collect yourself kirishima starts running causing you to snap back into reality, "hey extras! get back here!" yells bakugou, sending himself flying forward. 

"sero, get ready to catch him!" you instruct quickly trying to run as close to him as possible so there would be a less risk of him to fall. you look at bakugou to see him stuck in a bubble of some sort, "cmon bakugou!" you state frustrated, "i thought you said you were gonna win! stop holding back for fucks sake!" you yell.

you see bakugou winding his hand back and blasting a explosion at the bubble causing it to burst. you let out a grin as bakugou grasb some of the headbands around monomas neck. "sero- now!" you yell rushing forward to meet him halfway.

kirishima lets out a grunt as bakugou lands back in his original position with a thump. "we're not done yet! im not finished till i get all our points back from that copycat bastard!" he rages. 

"elbow guy, tape him!" he instructs moving to the side to let him do so. "raccoon eyes! leave some acid in the direction we're going!" he says lifting his leg. "genso- use your air to push us forward quicker!" he grunts as kirishima glides over minas acid easily.

quickly the other team tries to protect themselves by creating another barrier, "not so fast!" you yell bounding them with earth to stop any of them from moving or using their quirks. 

bakugou grins predatorily as he snatches the last headband off of monomas neck. "now we're going for deku and half n half..!" he glares looking at the ice covered area.

the timer blares as the last 10 seconds start being counted down. you move your hands up turning the ice to water and throwing it down behind you. suddenly, bakugou goes flying again. okay seriously.. this guy has some real issues with communicating... you grit staring up at him.

"times up!!" announces present mic over the speakers. 

bakugou lands face first on the ground as you all slow to a stop. you stifle a laugh at the sight of him sprawled against the ground before bursting into laughter along with your other teammates. 

you all run up to him as you control your laughter, "you okay..?" u chuckle only to see him beating his fist against the ground repeatedly.

you hear present mic announce the teams moving on. "looks like our leader isnt exactly all that fond of the fact we ended up in second.." kirishima sighs grinning a bit. you giggle a bit at the sight of bakugou throwing a tantrum.

"you know in some ways he reminds me of a toddler who didnt get the toy he wanted..." you remark, smirking to yourself slightly. kirishima shakes his head in amusement as you and him both pull bakugou up to his feet. "bakugou stop whining... at least we made it to the last round. now you actually have the chance to win.." you fold your hands across your chest, meeting his gaze.

"whatever.." he grunts not acknowledging you and walking away. 

"time for a lunch break!" screeches present mic as all the students start clearing the arena.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

you quickly rush into the ua gym after eating. letting out a quick sigh, you lean against the wall for support. "fuck, fuck, fuck... its obviously gonna be 1v1 battles between the last couple of students.." you groan slumping down and slowly closing your eyes. 

you turn your head slowly looking at the cheerleading costume in your hand dejectedly, "do we really have to do this...?" you whisper to yourself before standing back up to go change into it, grabbing your pom poms on the way out.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

you stand next to uraraka and all the other girls readying yourselves to come out into the arena. "arent these clothes a bit too.. revealing..?" you question trying to pull down the skirt that barely covered your butt.

"i tried my best to make it somewhat better than the other cheerleading outfits, but this was the best i could get.." sighs yaoyorozu apologetically. 

you let out a slight smile, "hey.. its alright.. its just for a little while.. i can manage" u smile reassuringly. 

you all walk out as you lower your head in embarrassment, feeling the crowd and students stare. standing against the wall you realize denki and mineta had tricked you all. you let out a gasp as you meet bakugous widened eyes. quickly you look away, cheeks reddening slightly in the process. "this is so embarrassing..! im gonna kill those two when i see them!" you mutter.

you turn and see them two giggling in the corner, "you perverts! im gonna curb stomp the two of you until you cant tell whose who!" you rage, turning red in both embarrassment and fury.

"well.. we might as well not waste yaoyorozus creation and just use them to the best we can- besides theyre pretty cute!" exclaims hagakure happily.

"hell no" you deadpan, "im not feeding into those two perverts delusions" you grunt throwing down the pom poms and walking up to the other students who made it to the final round. 

you mutter to yourself angrily standing in the middle of the crowd hearing how the final matches are gonna be separated. you turn feeling someone staring, only to find bakugou behind you avoiding your gaze with slightly flushed cheeks.

you widen your eyes turning to the front blushing, no.. theres no way hes staring at me.. its just the light! im seeing things! you think shaking your head slightly to rid yourself of the thought.

you look up to see who your first opponent would be. you let out a sigh of relief, "oh.. aoyama.. thatll be a easy fight.." you smile, before rushing off to the other girls as they set up the new arena. 

"cmon y/n! cheer with us!" chuckles uraraka throwing you pom poms and jumping. you let out a small smile "fine..." you grin before joining them. 

"y/n! you seem like you know how to tumble, got shorts on under?" mina asks playfully as she readies herself next to you.

you let out a grin, "you know me too well!" you laugh before counting down and rushing forward doing a roundoff into a back handspring beside mina, landing cleanly with a exhilarating smile. the crowd goes wild and cheers you all on with claps and praises as you smile waving up at the crowd with your pom in hand.

"okay this is actually pretty fun..." you admit blushing a bit in embarrassment. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

you sit up in the class 1-a section having changed out of your cheerleading outfit. looking down at the arena, you get ready to spectate izuku and shinsos fight. you let out a cheer as the two walk out, "lets go izu!!" you yell clapping.

cmon izuku.. dont let all that training go to fail now.

Fluff, x g/n reader (feat. Bakugou & Kaminari)

You blinked back at the sunlight cutting across the patio, slowly seeing more of a silhouette talking to Bakugou. You elbowed him in the side until he nodded as if you’d spoken.

“Oh. Just Kaminari.”

“Just? What kinda’ intro is that.” The blue shades slid back into his hair, showing off the creases around his eyes when his smile widened at you.

“Hel-“

“Sorry, but you are so pretty.” You paused at the interruption, tilting your head to take in his expression and features.

“Oh? Thanks. You’re pretty too.” You turned back to the man beside you. “Gonna grab a drink. See you guys inside?”

“Um…dude?”

“Hmm?”

“Did they just shoot me down or?”

“Don’t know. Don’t care.”

You heard the scraping of a chair as you wandered into the building. The air was much cooler than the summer you’d left on the other side of glass. Yet the bakery atmosphere was thick with cinnamon, meeting you with a different sort of warmth. You jumped as a hand wound around your waist. You relaxed into it as you saw the pink skin tone.

“Mina, I almost smacked the shit out of you.”

“Um, you should smack people who grab you.”

The guys caught up as you wriggled loose of your friend’s grip. She squealed just as you broke free.

“I love your earrings!” Your hand flew up to your ears, curious which ones you’d put on earlier. You found the cool surface of clay polymer and laughed.

“Thanks, they’re my new favorites.”

“Mmm, I like ‘em too. Didn’t even notice them at first. Only saw that beautiful face.” You turned your smile to Kaminari as he fell into the seat beside Mina.

“I’ll have to let the guy know he should work harder at the earrings if my face is stealing the attention.” Your eyes darted to the table, seeing she had already started breakfast without you. “I’m gonna grab a coffee. You good?” Mina took a large bite of the muffin she’d been working on and waved you off in the direction of the counter.

“The fuck keeps happening?”

“What? If you spilled on my fur again, I’m covering you in acid.”

“They-dude, I don’t even have anything. What would I spill? Wait… wasn’t I annoyed about something other than you?” You caught the sound of a soft slap. “Ow.”

You took your time looking through the display case and menu, letting their bickering float around you. Mina seemed to have countless faux brothers she bantered with like this.

“Oh, so am I broken or are theyyy?” The blonde’s voice morphed into a whine…very younger brother of him. “I mean, NO reaction? I’m not that fuckin’ low on the hero charts, what’s the deal?”

“Hmm. Maybe they don’t like blondes…or idiots.”

“Shut your-“

You turned just in time to see a pink finger flick a forehead. You sipped at your drink, hovering near the chair they’d left open for you once you reached the table.

“They don’t have a problem with blondes.” You smiled at the way Bakugou chimed in without looking up from his phone. He always seemed to be actively listening to his friends no matter what he was pretending to be more focused on.

“Sorry, kami…they just don’t like you then.”

Bakugou finally looked up at you when you still hadn’t settled into the seat beside him. You shook your drink at him, rattling the ice.

“This is really good. Sure you didn’t want one? It’s a new spiced one.”

“What about meee?” You laughed. The whine still hadn’t left Kaminari’s tone. He really was giving off younger sibling energy.

“Spiced? You seem like you prefer the sugary stuff.”

“You’re so sweet I could skip the sugar.” You hummed, processing the information.

“So you want me to get you a spiced one?”

His mouth fell open. “What? No, I-“ You sat down, watching his desperate gaze fly from a laughing Mina to a smirking Bakugou. “What…is…happening…to me?”

“They’re just not great with that.” You furrowed your brows as a pink hand gave unsolicited head pats, tugging your head away from her reach after she got a couple taps in.

“What does that EVEN mean?”

Someone grabbed your drink from your loosened grip as you swatted at the pink attack that was never ending.

“They didn’t even realize we were dating for a few weeks.” Bakugou took a long sip from your drink. “That is good.”

“Hey! I said I’d get you your own.” You yanked it back, frowning at the new level halfway down the ice. “What’re you guys talkin’ about anyway?”

“How pretty you are.” You rolled your eyes, shoving him out of his chair.

“Haha. Very funny. Go buy me another one of these, you monster.”

“Sure thing, beautiful.” You smacked his hand away as it pinched at your heated cheek. You saw Kaminari’s mouth was open.

“What…is…HAPPENING?” You laughed as Mina pet him like a dog.

“There there.”

I yearn to talk about my Dracula!Holmes au, and the universe has seen fit to give me free will and internet access, so talk i shall.

Listen. Hear me out just hear me out.

We literally have Johnathan motherfucking Harker whose written POV we read Dracula from for like a solid half of the book, right. Well, no more, he's John Watson now babeyyy, a retired army man now gainfully employed as a lawyer who's off overseas to act as estate agent to the strange and eccentric client who has expressed interest in moving to foggy London... Count Holmes! [insert jazz hands]

Instead of being Evil(tm) and plotting to take over London or whatever, my guy is just Autistic. Also riddled with ADHD and in desperate need of some enrichment in he goddamn enclosure. He will also in fact be trans, because. Of course. Vampirism as a metaphor for queerness and the social ostracization that follows as a punishment and having inherently queer narratives intertwined in them etc etc... anyhow! Count Sherlock Holmes, vampire detective!!!

(I do also want him to be aroace, or aroacespec at least, but I'm willing to negotiate for the Johnlock and the Johnlock alone.)

Mina Harker here is of course the one and only Mary Morstan, although it is clearly a lavender marriage, because we aren't cowards in this household and so Mary gets to be gay with her Lucy equivalent here, just as god intended. I haven't decided who her Lucy equivalent will be yet but this au is still young (technically I've been going insane about it in my mind for like a month or two but whatever) and there's no reason we can't make up an OC for her Lucy.

John Watson, resident gay doctor lawyer, of course, is smart enough to realize the enigmatic Count Holmes' vampiric secret within like one adventure, but he sure is going to have a slow burn of realizing just how gay he is for said enigmatic Count Holmes. We, of course, get to witness this tooth rotting bullshit firsthand as we read his diary entries and some later letters to Mary.

And instead of being one long gothic horror narrative, it's just adventure of the week with your friendly neighborhood crime solving vampire, the various other mythical creatures who do said crimes, and Just Some Guy.

Just, every Sherlock Holmes adventure adapted into this au with other supernatural elements. The guy from the Red Headed League is a local villager being bamboozled by a leprechaun, the Silver Blaze thing is about a kelpie. Everyone including Sherlock was operating on the assumption that Irene Adler was a siren, but actually she was just a regular human, and instead of unlearning misogyny (bc I don't see trans vampire Sherlock living so long through changing times and society and being sexist), Sherlock has to learn not to underestimate the intelligence of humans.

Also, he's just really excited to have this new human, John, living in his castle. So curious, too, about humans, he has sequestered himself from them for such a long time and John seems like a very interesting one. He's probably the first friend Sherlock has had in a long time, too.

Also. Instead of being warded off or harmed by garlic, to Sherlock, garlic is just the vampire version of cocaine. He just gets high as fuck off garlic. Could live on the stuff. And the reason people think he's warded off by garlic is just because he was seen getting high off his ass, turning into a bat, and flying away in loop de loops upon consuming garlic one (1) time. And everyone thought it's his weakness. And he never bothered correcting them bc Why Would He. He's basically getting free cocaine left and right from villagers who are scared/wary of the supernatural Count Holmes and only go to him when there's no other option, and it's no bother to leave people he's not investigating alone.

I genuinely do think cocaine!garlic addicted Sherlock has so much comedic potential, it really is so beloved to me. Just imagine, if you will, an extremely put-upon John Watson caring for Batlock who has gotten high off his ass and refuses to stop flying into his own antique chandelier.

I was also thinking that it would be funny to have Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Turner in place of Dracula's sexy vampire roommates or whatever those three were lmao (I couldn't think of a third character, sorry)

Also. Obviously. Van Helsing has got to be Moriarty, by virtue of opposition. I do think their whole deal has a lot of potential to be very funny and entertaining also. I am also considering it might be fun to have Lucy's other suitors be the Scotland Yarders, like Lestrade, Gregson and what have you, but that risks missing out on the very fun possible dynamic of "Sherlock being exasperated with the dumbass out of their depth Yarders he keeps helping" raised to like the hundredth degree so. I honestly would like people's thoughts on that.

Anyway so YES, Dracula au please and thank you. Maybe with endgame QPR Johnlock? Yes? Please? Queerplatonic husbands Johnlock is my shit.

In conclusion: THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK <3

Warnings: Mentions of Alcohol, Drowning, Under the Influence Surfing

Lights from the houses sitting curved around the cul-de-sac were dim from your distance. Balloons tied to mailboxes were set free in the sky above or in hands of neighboring small children, their parents taking a vist standing around and chatting, sitting in lawn chairs, lined up to get food from tables lining the street holding casserole dishes and crock pots.

The annual community block party lasted all afternoon, but you knew the clock was ticking down for something more eventful. Coolers brimmed with sodas, water bottles, and beers. You quickly made off with drink pouches meant for the kids towards your meeting spot. Flurries of air ghosted your exposed skin, your board under your armpit. Tumbled rocks along the shoreline as the boardwalk was lined with food and drink vendors. A white lifeguard tower with its flag flying, familiar flip-flops abandoned in the sand.

"Any longer, and you would've missed all the s'mores." Mina smiled up at you. Sero, Denki, and Bakugou toasting their second bag of marshmallows. There's a soft crash of the logs, crackles, and pops from the fire gnawed at them, consuming it like a disease until only a sickly pile of ash remaining. They rub together as Bakugou rearranged them.

Widely expansive oceans lapped the shore, lights from the boardwalk scattering across its surface.

"I'm here now, ain't I?" Driftwood as their seating as you opted to sit on the extra towel you had brought along. Their crooked row of surfboards stuck into the wet sand strewn with seashells and seaweed.

"I brought what I could." You hand each of them a dripping drink pouches cracking open a jarred Strawberry Peach Moonshine for yourself before grabbing a knobby stick in your hands as you roast your marshmallow in the flames.

"No fair, you always bring booze for yourself." Denki sighs in exaggeration.

Placing your palm over your heart, you lay back between Mina's legs. You open a black plastic bag, more mason jars of different flavors inside. "You doubtin' me Blondie? The kids' pouches were for later."

He pouted then frantically blows at his burning marshmallow at the end of his stick as Sero nudged his side.

Windansea Beach, La Jolla, where briny air and water met your board under your feet. Purity of ultramarine and stars mimicking glow flies share the openness with the moon.

Your feet sink deeper into the moist sand as salt nips at my skin, it's cool refreshing feel brings clarity to your heart, cleansing your soul almost. Night surfing has always been your go-to safe space long since before you met your teammates. God knows how many times you've crawled from your beachfront cottage window to seek Poseidon's comfort.

The Petrichor smell calls you forth. Depite your drink on your breath. You insisted you should paddle out. Pushing yourself into a standing position, the all too familiar soaring sensation washes over you.

Sero is not far behind. Steadying your position, the wave was strong enough to propel you forward. Gliding effortlessly, a shadow within the wave startles you as it follows. An occasional rough wave would spike, but nothing high enough. If asked, your choice of paddling aimlessly wasn't the brightest idea.

What sounds like Mina yelling your name as a huge wave rolls in. It's seafoam ripples curl over themselves as they swell faster.

A figment you swore you'd only heard in legends made you hit the water. Teeth like daggers swore to kill directly, took your board.

You're dunked under. Lungs quickly fill with water. You attempt grabbing for your board, but the murky depths condescend around you.

What little you could make out were two figures lashing out at one another. The smaller one putting up a good fight. You scream only for bubbles to escape. Your last-ditch effort. But you got what you wanted. Silence.

Letting what's left of your cognitive thoughts flourish, you see it. Blurry cyan and milky white moonlight stab the waters surface. It stares at you with desire, its pupils that of a cat.

Hovering above you was red. Red something. Something you couldn't make out. Red faded to black once your eyes shut.

Could someone make this a fanfic?

Bakugou gets saved and as he is flying through the air, he goes to kiss Kirishima, but he misses and no one but him and Kiri know

Hawks and tokoyami are birds, so they have mating season and mating songs (according to hawks and hawks alone) and so he tries to teach tokoyami how to attract mates with the mating song, and while tokoyami knows it (probably) won’t work, he still does it so that hawks feels like he is doing something

While tokoyami is doing the mating song, like hawks said to do, Bakugou throws one of Kiris crocs at him and yells something along the lines of “STFU!! IT'S 2:00 IN THE GODDAMN MORNING!!” And Hawks, thinking that he is attracted to the mating call says, “GOOD JOB! Your first one and so soon! I'm so proud!” And then Kiri pops over to see what got his bf so pissed and hawks thinks that HE was also attracted and so Hawks says, “ TWO ALREADY!! You’ve got a gift, kid!!” Then Kiri comes out to see what all the noise is for and sees the commotion and the all the noise made denki wake up and when tokoyami (like the sensible boy he is) “what were you two doing together at 2:00 in the morning in Bakugou's room?” Denki, on his balcony, yells down “fucking lol” and bakugo goes to blow a bitch up but Kiri be holding down his boyfriend so that he doesn’t kill his best friend and knowing that he is safe Kaminari continues to mock saying things like, “

Tokoyami says something like, “I think we should be going now, sorry to disturb you Bakugou and kirishima,” so they fly away to see deku and todoroki cuddling and they find out they’re dating.

Due to the fact that Hawks is incredibly proud of tokoyami, he was telling Endeavour about the mating song that he did, which led to him ranting about how cute the relationships in class 1-A are, which led to him accidentally outing Shouto because he was talking about Shouto and Midoriya dating. Learning this, Endeavour promptly ran out of his hero agency yelling “SHOTOOOOOOO” the entire way to UA.

But he doesn’t have a visitor pass so he has to wait for the visitor pass papers to be completed (two hours) and then he had to wait for Shouto’s free period (another two hours)

During this time, Hawkbro (who had visitor papers to randomly see Tokobro) came in and yelled in the middle of the class to Todobro and Midobro to run, at the same time All Mightbro ran into the room, (after hearing about Kirishima and Bakubro) and asked to see them in the hall. Bakubro asked what for(in a very rude way of course) and Denkbro started cackling, and minabro was barely holding back laughter(she knew because she knows everything)

Bakugo and Kirishima are pulled into a separate room with Mina and Denki because they were there to witness sus activity and Aizawa because . All Might then gives “The Talk” to Bakugo and Kirishima and Bakugo being very confused at why they were having this conversation asked “WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TELLING US THIS BULLSHIT!!!!” And All Might, in a state of panic, threw condoms at them and ran away. Aizawa being disappointed in this walked over to them just to ask them what exactly they were doing, kiri in trying his best to make it seem like they were just be brofriends (bro boyfriends) said this “we were just hanging out in his room, not doing anything, and yes the door was locked but not because of that but because of another reason I can’t say, but we were not doing that and don’t believe Denki if he says that he heard moaning, he is just making that up, same with Mina and Sero, and if anyone else says they heard moaning it was because they were trying to make it sound like we were doing that but we weren’t, and it doesn’t matter what we were doing now that I’ve cleared that up, any more questions??”

Aizawa then asks why they were sleeping in the same room, and why Bakugou had kirishima's croc and they both turn really red, like as red as kirishima's dyed red hair and kirishima says something like,”well we were just venting… and got tired, so we had a sleepover...”

Denki, thinking this was the right time to say something goes, “THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY! I SHOULD KNOW!” He then heard what he said and regretted it. “I KNEW IT! IT IS SHINSO ISN'T IT!? JIROU- YOU OWE ME 5 BUCKS!!!!” Mina shouted “DAMMIT I THOUGHT IT WAS PIKACHU THE POKÉMON!!” “……. Shinso? My son?” Aizawa asked looking murderouse………….and that’s when Denki fucked up

Denki, realizing he fucked up, bolts up and runs to Shinsos class, which happens (for plot convieniance) to be taking english, and hides behind Shinso, Aizawa comes into the room looking pissed as all hell and tells Shinso “ DONT HIDE THAT BLONDE BASTARD!!! HAND OVER THE BOY RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!!” Denki would be crying “Shinso save me please 😭”

Present Mic quietly, whispered to denki, “You made the same mistake I did…”

Now Denki is trembling and about to break down because he thinks he’s about to get murdered, which he is.

Aizawa gave Mic the death glare, “After him, I’m killing you.” “You wouldn’t kill your own husband would you 🥹 please…” “They didn’t know we are married Mic.” “I’m sorry 😢”

Mic knowing he about to get his ass beat out run to the closest microphone he has and scream

“RED ALERT RED ALERT MY HUSBAND IS GONNA KILL ME FOR LETTING OUR SON DATE A LOUD BLONDE LIKE ME EVEN THOUGH HE DATED A LOUD BLONDE MEEEE!!!!”

“ You didn’t have to share with the whole school that we are married.”

“…”

“REDDER ALERT REDDER ALERT MY HUSBAND IS EVEN MORE ANGRY AND I NEED EVEN MORE HELP, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE ALL MIGHT OR GOD SAVE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!”

All this time All Might is still recovering from Kiribaku and Endeavor is still chasing Izuku, yelling at him for making his son weak and stuff, and Shouto is just holding Izukus hand and running with him cause HE AINT GONNA LEAVE HIS MAN BEHIND!!! 😤

Chapter 21 - The Final Gift

You couldn't see it from where you were standing, but further back, the rest of your friend group was hiding from view. Hoshi and Seungkwan were gripping a set of plugs, and when they heard Minnie call out, they plugged them together. The immediate illumination of the field in bright pink light stunned even Mingyu, who looked over his shoulder. You looked up at the tree as well, immediately taking in the pink lights before you. They decorated the branches as high up as they could go. The blinking of each light from the top to bottom gave the pink bulbs the appearance that they were falling towards the ground, petals in a windless sky. You looked back at Mingyu, finally able to take his appearance in. He was bundled in a black turtleneck and jeans, with a grey jacket draped over his shoulders.

Mingyu noticed your overwhelmed appearance as he walked closer to you, alerting your attention by calling your name again. You allowed yourself to focus solely on him as he approached. He gulped, obviously nervous. "What is all this?" you asked, your voice barely above a shaky whisper.

"It's for you." He said softly. He motioned to the strings of pink lights that blinked and fluttered along the tree. "It's a cherry blossom tree."

"In fall?" you couldn't help but smile.

"I tried." He chuckled. "It's a bit last minute. I know." You took a minute to admire it. "I had to basically buy out the entire party store's supply of pink lights for the next few years, though." he chuckled. When he looked at you, the sight of your smile falling made his drop as well. "...Do you not like it?"

"No, I do!" You assured quickly, turning your wide eyes back to him. "I just...I don't understand." You pressed your fingers together. "Mina-."

"That's over." He said immediately. "That's done. It's never happening. I'm sorry it even started in the first place." He saw your eyes cast down, and his hand slipped from his pocket, reaching out to gently place it under your chin, lifting your gaze back to him. "I'm sorry." He said again.

You gulped. "I can tell..." The trembling in your voice made Mingyu smile a bit. You reached up, putting your free hand on his and removing it from your chin. He stared at it for a minute, watching as your smaller fingers wrapped around his larger ones. "Why are you doing all of this?" you asked.

"I told you," he said. "I want to apologize."

Your smile only saddened. "You don't have to."

"I absolutely do." He said quickly, once again using his hand to make sure he had your full attention. "I absolutely do."

"Your going to be married to someone your father approves of. I'm sure it'll be fine..." Mingyu shook his head. "Why else would you have gone along with it if you didn't know you'd eventually be okay?"

Mingyu sighed. "My father told me that he would expel you. That, on top of the whole beach house thing, I felt I had no choice. But I did, and I chose wrong. And I'm sorry." You pursed your lips together. "I don't care if he takes the company from me. Or my money, or my apartments or my cars, or anything. The second he threatened to take you I should have stood up and left."

"...Did you really think I'd choose school over you?" you asked curiously. Mingyu sighed.

"I said I'm not proud of it. The fact that you haven't even laughed in my face and walked away let is more than I would have expected from you after what I did." He chuckled a bit, cheeks a bit pink. You finally offered him a little smile. "This whole thing behind me isn't just a cute and very stressful thing to apologize-." again, you chuckled. "-But it's my gift. My final promise, my final confession. My final everything." Mingyu took a deep breath. "I love you. It's always been you. You are everything I want." Mingyu's hands slid down to your arms, wrapping around them gently. "I don't want anyone, anything else. I will spend the rest of my life proving that to you. I will spend the rest of my life loving only you, I swear. I want to be with you forever."

"Mingyu, I-."

"Marry me." Your eyes widened, and Mingyu's soon followed. It seemed he wasn't even prepared to say that, eyes immediately darting away from yours. "Uh. I uh...Well..."

The entirety of those hiding behind the tree seemed to have the same idea. Joshua and Jeonghan immediately turned to one another, eyes wide and jaws practically on the floor. "Did he just...?"

"Did....did you just?" You gasped.

"I...I think I did?" eyebrows furrowed together as he took a minute to process what just came out of his mouth.

"R-right now?!"

"W-well, no. I mean, yes! I mean eventually!" His cheeks were as pink as the lights behind him, hands gripping tighter on your arms. "I-I'm sorry, I really didn't..."

"Yes." you said. Mingyu froze as you reached your hands up, taking his cheeks into your hands to steady his gaze back to yours. He saw your eyes welling up with tears as you nodded. "A million times yes. Okay? I'm saying yes right now, for every time you ask me in the future."

"....Okay!" Mingyu nodded. Immediately, he broke out into a grin. Without missing a beat, he leaned in and pressed the most passionate and desperately needed kiss to your lips. Wasting no time, you hopped onto your tiptoes and returned it. It felt as if the world around you both stopped existing at that moment, the only thing that mattered at that moment was if the two of you were close enough to one another. When you finally pulled back for air, you finally broke into a real, genuine smile, unable to stop yourself as you lowered onto your feet again. Mingyu smiled as well, laughing a bit. "Wow. Uhm..." he rubbed his chin. "Oh!" He immediately turned around, grabbing something from behind him and handing it to you. "This is not a ring but...it's for you."

"Oh?" you hummed. Mingyu nodded. Hoping to seal the deal, he wasted no time sticking out what looked to be a small handful of what looked to be plastic cherry blossom plants. It made you chuckle since it was so cute.

"Plastic?" you asked curiously.

Mingyu grew flustered at your tone. "Uhm. Uh. They'll never die." He said. "Like my love for y-." Mingyu almost immediately broke out into a grin, but you weren't far behind. "Sorry."

"Who the fuck told you to say that one?" You asked.

"...Seungkwan." You both said in unison, before laughing once again. You reached for the flowers, brushing against Mingyu's hand as you did so. He took that split second to wrap his hand around yours, enveloping your hand in a warm embrace. "They're really cute. I wish these were real."

"I couldn't get real ones here in time. My promise to take you one day still stands. I hope this is a good little placeholder." Mingyu smiled. "Oh." Releasing your hand, Mingyu dug into his pocket. You watched him pull out a familiar long box, turning it towards you and opening it. You felt your eyes sparkle a bit as a familiar cherry blossom necklace filled your eyes. "Again, not a ring, but...May I?"

"Okay." You said softly. Mingyu reached forward, turning you around so he could lay the necklace on your neck. The feeling of his hands on your skin tingled, but it only made your smile widen all the more.

"It's definitely cute." You smiled. Turning back to Mingyu, you smiled. "For last minute."

"Hey." Mingyu pouted. "I'll have you know it was a very hectic and panic-filled last minute." A laugh escaped your lips again. Mingyu smiled. "God, I missed that." He breathed out. "Your laugh..."

"Ah." The seeming relief of his comment made your cheeks tint pink. "Yeah?" Mingyu nodded.

"Yeah." He said. You both were silent for a minute, unsure where the conversation should go from here. Suddenly, you heard Jihoon from the base of the tree.

"Did you two just get fucking engaged?!" Followed by a collective shushing.

"You're ruining the mood!" Seungkwan snapped.

"What?! I cannot be the only person that heard him say 'Marry me'!" You looked over at the group of men standing behind the tree. You immediately locked on Joshua and Jeonghan, their expressions seemingly stuck in a state of shock at the scene they just witnessed.

"Are they okay?" Mingyu asked, leaning in close to you, his cheek resting against your temple. You laughed a bit.

"I have no idea..." Jihoon smiled as Hoshi and Seungkwan rushed in your direction. Hoshi hit Mingyu on the back, an action that made Mingyu flinch despite his broad shoulders and strong build. "Ow. Hyung." He laughed. Jihoon turned to the other angels, copying Hoshi's idea and slapping them both on the back.

"OW!" They glared at him. He motioned to the scene before them, which Minnie was quick to run towards, pulling you into a hug as the two of you took a second to process what just happened.

"You guys have something important to check." He said simply. Joshua and Jeonghan watched the scene again. They watched as Minnie gripped your hands, the two of you squealing like school children while Hoshi and Seungkwan seemed to be interrogating Mingyu.

"That wasn't in your plan!"

"I know, Hyung!" Mingyu gasped. "It just slipped out!"

"Now we have to plan a real wedding?!" Seungkwan gasped. "Oh man...."

"I...I guess so!" Mingyu grinned, and his friends patted his shoulders and jostled him around in playful excitement.

"We should go check..." Jeonghan said softly.

"I don't want to interrupt," Joshua added. His lip caught in between his teeth as he watched you and Mingyu share one final glance, Mingyu laughing as his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you close to his chest as he used your head as a headrest.

Jihoon smiled a bit, resting his shoulder against the base of the tree. He looked up at the lights, still twinkling above the group. Finally, Joshua and Jeonghan made their way over to you.

When you caught their glance, you looked over. "Is this where you two disappeared to??" you asked curiously.

"Yeah," Jeonghan said sheepishly.

"We uh...we didn't expect it go this way," Joshua added.

"You and me both." You gasped, eyes wide. Joshua and Jeonghan looked at one another once more, then back to you. Mingyu seemed to notice because his arm draped over your shoulder, the other hand on his hip as he looked at the males before him.

"Why are you looking at each other like that?" he asked. The two only smiled at one another. "What's with the grin?"

"Oh, Mina, you're back?" Jeonghan called, his eyes diverting behind you and Mingyu. You both turned over your shoulders, curious as to his comment. However, your curiosity was satiated when Joshua and Jeonghan took your hands. "Come on." Jeonghan grinned before the duo led you across the field.

"Wh- HEY!" Mingyu frowned. "What are you doing?!"

"We'll be right back!" Joshua called.

"That was a dirty trick!" Mingyu called. Joshua only responded by breaking into a very dramatic run, legs crossing over one another. Your laughter was heard even as the three of you ran out of sight, which made Mingyu unable to do anything but offer an amused smile.

Joshua and Jeonghan made sure you were practically on the other end of the field, the three of you slowing your pace and taking a quick breath. "What kind of running was that?" you asked, grinning at Joshua. He shrugged.

"Who cares." The duo reached their hands out, and you eagerly put yours forward as well, gripping onto them. Joshua took a deep breath. "This better work." He said.

"If it doesn't, I might lose my mind," Jeonghan said. You watched as the duo focused what little angelic energy they had left into your hands, the familiar warm sensation forming through your fingers and into your arms. You looked down at the little contract symbols that came into view on your hands. It took a second, your breath caught in your throat as they came into full view.

The three of you stayed silent, making sure that if you stared at the green marks before you long enough, you would confirm that they were in fact really there.

🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶So Close Yet So Far🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

"What do you mean you're transferring?!" Hoshi gasped. He watched as Joshua and Jeonghan sat across the table at the cafeteria, eating nonchalantly as everyone patiently waited for them to explain.

Jeonghan looked up. "It's when someone goes from – or transfers – from one place to."

"We know what it is, man." Mingyu grinned a bit, his arm draping across the seat to rest behind you.

"Why in the middle of the term?" Minnie asked. Joshua shrugged.

"We just have to." He said simply. "Sorry, it's such short notice."

"We didn't even get to like, throw a party or anything." Hoshi pouted.

"We'll come visit. We aren't going far." Jeonghan took a sip of his drink. You glanced up from the book in your hand at his last comment, the both of you sharing a playful smile.

"Well, I'm paying for your lunch, Shua-Hyung!" Hoshi said quickly. Joshua looked up, watching as Hoshi pulled out his wallet and set it on the table.

"Me too, Jeonghan-Hyung." Seungkwan did the same. The duo shared a glance, smiling at one another in amusement. It had been two days since that faithful day. Each day, Jeonghan and Joshua made sure to check their contracts one more time. Each day, they popped up green and each day they would both hug each other and cheer one another. Their version of the lottery, it seemed.

When the day finally came for them to return home, the three of you were waiting together on the balcony. You were sipping a hot coffee, resting up against the wall. Joshua and Jeonghan had their eyes glued to the sky, darting every which way in hopes of seeing a familiar face.

"Where are they?" Jeonghan asked.

"I have no idea. I don't see them." You snorted at the duo, making them look over.

"You two can be very cute when you really try."

"Are you saying we normally don't try?" Jeonghan asked. Joshua frowned.

"We're effortless, is what she's saying." You grinned at his comment, simply pressing the cup against your lips and quieting yourself with another sip. Just then, the balcony door opened, and the three of you looked over. Jihoon, to the surprise of the angels, stepped onto the balcony. When he saw their shocked faces, he motioned to you.

"She invited me." You simply waved when they offered you a set of wide confused eyes.

"Ah. Jihoon-Hyung?!" Immediately, everyone looked over to the sound of an incredibly excited and shocked voice on the other side of the balcony. When you looked over, an entire collection of male angels were in your sights. You could immediately tell by their faces that it was Seokmin and Chan who had gasped in shock, both of them hurrying over and enveloping their older brother in a hug. Jihoon seemed startled by this, eyes wide as he stared at the duo. "Hyung, you're okay!"

"And you didn't grow at all!" Seokmin sniffled. "You look just like you did when we last saw you!"

"Wh- HEY!" Jihoon gasped. "Come on, now. After all this time, that's what I get as a greeting!?"

"It's better than nothing." A new voice hummed, and you looked over to see a very unique-looking face under curly, light brown hair. He caught your gaze and offered you a small smile.

"Thanks for the help, Hansol." Jihoon sighed. As he tried to pry off the two crying angels clinging to him, Joshua and Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol, who was sitting on the balcony with his feet dangling off the side.

"Nice job," Seungcheol said. "God is very pleased." When he saw the look of relief on their faces, his eyes narrowed. "Don't do it again."

"Aaaah, we promise. We promise." Jeonghan said quickly. Seungcheol smiled, glancing over at Wonwoo, who was fixing his glasses. The duo stepped over. You watched as Joshua and Jeonghan turned to face you. They smiled, like two little kids getting an award at school, ready to show their mother who was waiting eagerly in the audience. It made you smile back at them as if you could do anything else. Seungcheol and Wonwoo each pressed a finger to the backs of their brothers. It took a second, but they pulled their hands back. Joshua and Jeonghan rolled their shoulders, tilted their necks, and stretched themselves out.

"What happened?" you asked curiously. "It looks like nothing changed." Seungcheol motioned the duo to the balcony.

"Go on." He said. You watched the two of them hop onto the balcony, and for a second, you stepped forward, your heart racing at the sight of them balancing off such a small railing. However, within seconds, large white wings popped through their shirts. You were shocked the fabric didn't rip.

"You mean to tell me that you guys could do that without taking off your shirts this entire time?!" You asked. However, that shock was quickly replaced by the sight of the duo stepping straight off the balcony. For a second, you wanted to warn them to be careful, but you closed your mouth. The duo almost immediately started floating right beside where Hansol was watching.

One of the angels, a skinny and tall individual with striking eyes and a stoic demeanor looked at you and smiled. "You have to remember these two were kicked out of heaven for being nothing but a bother." He wormed his way in between Joshua and Jeonghan. They looked over at him, and he offered a cute, boxy grin. "Aren't I right?"

"How are your wings, Jun?" Jeonghan asked. When the younger angel hesitated, Jeonghan smirked. "Let's check." Jeonghan's mischievous comment caused Jun to float away, and the duo playfully reached in his direction. You were resting against the railing now, right beside where Seungcheol was sitting.

"You better hope nobody sees you guys." You grinned playfully. "I don't think I'll be able to explain anything."

"We're going to head out soon anyway," Seungcheol said. "They should get back."

"Really?" you frowned. Joshua and Jeonghan seemed to notice your upset, because they approached you, immediately sitting on the balcony railing as well. You saw their wings retract for a minute.

"We'll come to visit," Jeonghan assured. You didn't seem convinced. "What?" he asked.

"You will?" you asked.

"Of course," Joshua said. "Sooner rather than later, hopefully." Nodding your head, you watched as Seungcheol motioned to the rest of the group.

"Bye, Jihoon-Hyung!" Seokmin frowned.

Another angel, who was protecting Jun from the clutches of the mischievous duo, looked at his brother. "You're okay down here, right?"

"Yeah, of course, Hao." He said.

"Good. We always worry." Chan nodded.

"I'm just fine." He made sure to repeat.

"I'll make sure he's taken care of," you assured when you saw the other males seem unconvinced. Jihoon pursed his lips together.

"Good," Seungcheol said. "Let's get going then."

Just as Joshua and Jeonghan prepared to take off, their wings ready to pop back out, you reached out and took their hands. They looked over at you.

"Please promise to only come visit. None of this 'kicked out of heaven' nonsense again, okay?"

"We won't," Joshua assured like a child telling his mother he'll walk straight home from school and not sneak to the arcade. You nudged him a bit. "Chan on the other hand..."

"Oh yeah, he's next," Hao said. The youngest expressed a look of complacency at his brother's usual teasing Seokmin shook the younger one's shoulders and hugged him to hopefully cheer him back up. When you looked back at the duo, you tugged them off the railing for a second, allowing them to stand before you. Before they could ask any questions, you reached out and hugged them both tightly.

"Thank you, guys, so, so much." You said quickly. You immediately felt them use an arm to envelop you in a nice hug. "Have fun in heaven, I guess."

"Don't cry!" Joshua said quickly, reaching out to wipe your eyes when he saw them well with tears. You laughed a bit to hide how upset you really felt at that moment. "It's a good thing. We all wanted this, remember?"

"I know but I'm so sad now." You sniffled, and the duo couldn't help but leave. "I'll be so mad if you don't visit me!"

"We will," Jeonghan assured again. You nodded, finally wiping your eyes and allowing the duo to join their group.

You watched from the railing with Jihoon as the group of angels made their way back into the clouds. Seokmin and Hansol were waving in your direction, even calling out long and dramatic goodbyes. It took a bit of them, watching their forms get smaller and smaller until they finally disappeared into the clouds and out of your view. When you felt your eyes blur, a sight that only made it harder to see the shrinking figures, a comforting hand touched your arm. Looking over, you saw Jihoon. He rested against the railing as well.

"At least you have Mingyu." He said simply.

"You have Hoshi." You pointed it out. Seeing Jihoon's cheeks tint pink, you laughed a bit. "You two are pretty cute."

"Yeah, yeah. Okay, enough." Jihoon waved his hand, obviously done with the conversation. You watched him head back into your apartment and you followed behind. "I'll leave you be. Will you be okay?"

"Uh, yeah. I think so," you said. Jihoon nodded. "See you soon. Okay? Promise you'll still come by when we get together."

"Sure." He said. "Bye." Waving his hand, you watched Jihoon exit your apartment. Finally, once again, you were alone. To see Joshua and Jeonghan off properly, you had told everyone that you needed the day to yourself to help them pack and transfer. Despite their earnest offers to help, you three had to work together to get them to back off. You sank onto the couch, looking around the room. Nothing had changed. The table was still in its place, the TV was still up against the wall waiting to be used, and the bookshelf was still littered with photos and Knick knacks more than books. As you sank deeper and deeper into the quiet, you frowned.

You found yourself out on the balcony only a few seconds later, leaning forward against the railing. Trying your best to battle the sun, you scanned the clouds for signs of movement anywhere. Nothing.

"I wonder how long it takes them to get home." You mumbled to yourself. "I hope they're welcome back by everyone." As your eyes continued to scan, you thought back to all of the memories, so vivid in their replay even now. You hummed, finally diverting your eyes when you heard the front door open. Stepping back inside, you saw Mingyu step into the apartment, seemingly scanning for you. When he saw you in his gaze, a smile broke out on his face.

"Hey." He said. "You okay?"

You nodded your head, but it seemed him simply asking caused your eyes to well up. "They just left." Mingyu smiled, walking over and pulling you close to his chest, running a hand through your hair.

"It's okay." He said gently. "They said they'll visit." You nodded, wrapping your arms loosely around his waist. "Besides, now I can finally rest knowing they won't always be around to bother us."

"Bother you, I think you mean." You grinned up at him. Mingyu nodded. He led you to the couch, and both of you sat down. Mingyu still kept you close to him, making sure his hand rubbed along your back as you wiped your eyes.

"I know. But hey, on the bright side, look what just came in." Mingyu stepped back, digging into the pocket of his jeans. You wiped your eyes, watching as Mingyu pulled out a little black box. He extended it towards you, and you were unable to hold back a smile. "I can get on my knee if you want."

You laughed. "Not necessary," you assured. Mingyu simply reached his hand out, allowing yours to sit in it like a glove. He slipped the engagement ring on your finger and you pulled it closer to your view. "Oh wow. It's so sparkly." Your fingers wiggled a bit.

"It better be for the money I put towards it." he sighed. "Anyway, I'll get dinner started. Can I use your stuff?" The fact he even asked made a few butterflies swarm in your belly, and you nodded. Mingyu headed to the kitchen, and you settled in on the couch. "What are you in the mood for?" he asked curiously, as you scanned the area for the remote. You hummed, turning your head to the drawer.

"I'm not sure..." you said. "Anything is fine." With a tug, the end table drawer opened and you tugged out the remote. Under it lay a familiar white envelope, and you immediately reached out to take it. "Huh."

"What's up?" You turned your head to see Mingyu walking over, hands in his pockets. He leaned over the back of the couch as you flipped the envelope around. "Oh." He hummed as he scanned the name.

"It's from Mina." You said softly. The couch shifted as Mingyu took a seat beside you, his arm draping over your shoulder. Flipping it to the seal, you ripped it open along the seam. "I didn't want to look at it when she gave it to me. I thought it was a wedding invitation." Mingyu smiled a bit, but he stayed quiet as you pulled out what looked to be a little card. On the front of it was a three-dimensional tiered cake with a bit of gold trim, and the words 'Happy Birthday' written in what seemed to be a fancy English font on the bottom. "Oh. It's a birthday card."

"A bit late for that." Mingyu scooted closer, leaning his head on your shoulder as he watched you open it. Immediately, a sea of pictures fell directly onto your lap. Picking them up, you handed them to Mingyu for a second, so you could read the card.

Happy Birthday!

I had another card for you, but after reading it again, I wrote some unsubtle and not-so-kind things inside. Here's a better version. These pictures should do what they're meant to, remind you of happy memories. I know they've caused pain once, but I hope they only invoke fondness from now on. They're too precious to be used any other way.

I hope this past birthday and all birthdays after are filled with happy memories. (I know Mingyu will make sure that happens, so I'm not too worried).

From, Mina Myoui.

You smiled at the nice penmanship of her full name, before turning to Mingyu. He was flipping through the photos, a huge grin on his face. "What are they?" you asked. He handed them to you. As you took a second to study them, you could see why Mingyu had broken out into a grin in a matter of seconds.

Mina was acting as the weekend's unofficial photographer, but other than the photos you knew of, there were many others. There were tons of photos of everyone in the stack. There were some of the three girls posing with drinks in their hands beside the fire, grinning despite the tension boiling through the air at the time. There were some of Mingyu, Seungkwan, and Hoshi, seemingly from their first day there, at the beach throwing up peace signs and grins as they goofed off in the water.

As you flipped, you saw a few of you, Joshua, and Jeonghan. Jeonghan and Joshua, as usual, had you looped through their arms. The three of you were making what Hoshi called 'cute faces' in his drunken stupor. Jeonghan was providing a finger heart he learned from Minnie, Joshua had his spare hand under his chin, and you were offering a peace sign with the hand looped through Jeonghan's arm. It made you chuckle. There were a lot like these, from the beach to the back patio to the living room. "She took so many of the three of us." You laughed a bit. "I'm glad..."

As you flipped to the next photo, you finally saw the ones of you and Mingyu. There were a few taken during your very drunk dance-off. You, Minnie, and Seungkwan were center stage, dancing as the rest of them cheered you on. The photo, in spots, was blurry from what seemed to be frantic laughter and movements. However, it was clear that in the picture, Mingyu had the biggest smile. "I look like a doofus in that one." Mingyu pouted. A laugh escaped your lips.

"No, you look cute," you reassured, handing him the photo. Mingyu didn't seem convinced as he looked at the photo. The next one showed the both of you on the back patio one morning, coffee in hand and offering a tired peace sign to Mina, sleepy looks still on your faces. Jihoon was seen in the background, eating with Jeonghan. Jeonghan was the only one who caught the camera, his hand lifted to offer a peace sign in acknowledgment of Mina. You pointed him out to Mingyu, who laughed a bit.

"Those two are out of their minds." Mingyu hummed. "But it'll be boring without them around."

"You just said they bother you."

"They do!" He huffed. "Doesn't mean I won't miss them. Especially because I know you guys were all good friends." A sad smile sat on your face, and Mingyu simply lifted his hand from behind you on the couch, putting it on the top of your head and running his fingers through your hair in silent comfort. As you looked through the last few pictures, your smile grew a bit brighter. "Oh my God." Mingyu sighed, pointing to one of Jihoon and Hoshi napping on their towels at the beach. "Show that one to Jihoon-Hyung. He'll frame it in his apartment." You laughed, nodding.

"No. He'll pretend to throw it out and then frame it when we leave." You corrected, and Mingyu laughed again. "These are so cute." You gasped. "I knew she was taking photos, but I didn't realize she took this many."

Mingyu reached out, taking hold of one of the photos at the bottom of the pile. You looked over, seeing it was a picture taken the first morning of your arrival. It was during breakfast, which Jihoon was making. Mingyu and you were sitting at the table, with Mina. Mingyu had his head on the table, still seemingly exhausted. You were sipping a coffee, looking down at him as he slept. "I don't remember this one," Mingyu said.

"Because you were asleep." You said simply. "I think this one is really cute." You grinned. "Look how peaceful you were."

"Yeah, because I was next to you. Obviously." You snorted at his little comment, though when he saw it made you flustered, he nudged you.

"These are so sweet. I cannot believe I almost didn't open these. I wanted to burn them." Mingyu nodded, finally reaching back over and grabbing his phone from the end table.

"Shall I get started on dinner?" he asked. When you nodded in agreement, Mingyu excused himself to the kitchen. Standing up, you walked to the bookshelf. You took hold of a few pictures, setting them on the shelf beside the ones that were already framed from years past.

You had to get new picture frames, it seemed. These memories needed to be remembered forever. When Mingyu called your name, asking for the location of some ingredients, you hurried over. He watched you kneel down by the fridge, pulling out what he needed and handing it to him. He thanked you, before turning back to his work.

Only a few months ago I was drunkenly crying my woes to two complete strangers. You thought to yourself as you finally grabbed the menu from his grasp and flipped it open. And through that one interaction, I have created such a collection of memories.

A hand wrapped around your waist, and you looked over to see Mingyu pull you close to his side. He handed you the knife. "Can you chop the vegetables for me?" he asked. You nodded, taking the knife in your hands.

"I can't remember the last time I cooked," you said simply. "Jeonghan did a lot of it for me." Mingyu laughed.

"Well, I'll be more than happy to take that role now. Okay?" he glanced at you. With a nod, you began chopping up the vegetables. You listened to Mingyu begin explaining his plans for the meal, you looked over at him.

This is the best gift I could have asked for.

"and then I seemed sinking into deep green water, and there was a singing in my ears, as I have heard there is to drowning men; and then everything seemed passing away from me; my soul seemed to go out from my body and float about the air."

Now, these lines from Lucy's dream are really interesting within the context of what came before the feeding, and what exactly does it mean when a vampire feeds on you in this novel.

Lucy may not remember that she was drinked, but her subconscious tried to make sense of the sudden pain, the blood loss, and what seemed to be her own soul trying to escape her body. The writing here doesn't feel like it's supposed to be a metaphor, or an allegory of Lucy trying to make sense of how her life is drained.

Within the religious context of this novel; one that is deeply baked into it since day 1, you should not only fear that a vampire might kill your body, but also that they will corrupt your soul in the process. Leaving you out of god's light, and condemning you to an eternal life in the dark.

Jonathan admited how he would prefer to die like a man, like an untainted human being while staring at the bottom of that castle than risk his stay, and become an unholy monster like the Weird Sisters, forever bound to roam the opulent, yet rotting halls of that place.

The first mate of the Demeter jumped from the ship in horror at the possibility of ending up like his coworkers, who we still don't ( and never) know if Dracula killed completely, or decided to leave some of them staring at the sky of the water to see their soul fly free as their inmortal bodies sink down into the ocean floor.

"and then there was a sort of agonising feeling, as if I were in an earthquake, and I came back and found you shaking my body. I saw you do it before I felt you."

Lucy felt how her soul was pulling away from her now "corrupted" body as Dracula drank from her. Yet, Mina interrupted that separation by taking Lucy away, and awaking her from the trance. I'm very worried at that "agonising feeling", and the fact that Lucy was not truly physically feeling anything until she was totally awake.

It really reads that she was borderline on dying right there if it wasn't for Mina coming to save her in that specific moment.

[see-arcane]

I’m sure it’s been said more articulately elsewhere, but can I just say how much I love how Jonathan and Mina are placed amongst these Classic Heroic Gents (Stoker’s various Issues+ notwithstanding)?

While I have and will continue to feel two ways about how Mina is ultimately Madonna’d and damsel’d--Van Helsing and the Suitors going full diet misogyny/chivalrous, Jonathan just wanting to keep his wife out of the line of fire, Period--she’s so clearly established as a vital support the guys were missing. She brings intel, organization, and, what with the Victorian testosterone poisoning at play, an emotional anchoring point they can’t quite dare to seek out in their own best friends; Too Unmanly. Can’t Be Done.

Then they get introduced to Jonathan Harker. 

He of the harrowing adventure in Castle Dracula! Scaling stone walls and cliffs on the fly twice! Slipping free from a den of four centuries+ old vampires alive! Coming within inches of a killing blow to the Count but for the damned trick of the basilisk gaze and the (un)timely arrival of Dracula’s men! Jack can’t have been the only one expecting a Man’s Man among their group.

But, no. Jonathan Harker is Jonathan Harker. 

He of the golden retriever spirit and bottomless good manners and pretty eyelashes. If Mina is the nascent New Woman (don’t tell her that, she only knows what a New Woman is from the Punch comics), then Jonathan is the New Man. There’s no chest-pounding bravado, no jealousy at all these comparatively ‘threatening’ men--a lord, a rugged cowboy, a man who runs and owns his own asylum--gushing over his wife. It’s just as it was with Van Helsing.

Jonathan: Yes, Mina is amazing isn’t she? Please, continue telling me how great she is. :)

Mr. Harker, who spent two months imprisoned with the Terrifying Mega Vampire that needs an entire cadre of vampire hunters to attack, who was ready to see himself dead rather than risk joining the Brides, who landed a soulmate as fantastic as Mina...

...Is also the same Mr. Harker who takes comfort in law books and organizing paperwork, who pens wistful entries about nice meals and pretty landscapes and how much he loves his wife, whose defining trait when not in Vampire Hell is that of his friendly charm and kind nature.

He has endured nightmares and accomplished the unthinkable on par with the adventurous daydreams of any Classic Hero-Man of his era, yet he did it all while being the soft-spoken prettyboy sweetheart solicitor who stepped off the train and left Jack stunned. 

Between his example and Mina being--to borrow a double-edged phrase from Abe-- ‘a pearl among women’ (that is, being openly intelligent, competent, nurturing, and proactive), I have to assume that there is plenty left unwritten in the diaries about how the Suitors Three are adjusting to the Harkers’ unconventional nature in their time and place.

And perhaps, after all the vampire business is over, they start taking some notes and undoing the performative chokeholds they have on themselves and their hearts.

Very shortly after she opened her eyes in all their softness, and putting out her poor, pale, thin hand, took Van Helsing's great brown one; drawing it to her, she kissed it. "My true friend," she said, in a faint voice, but with untellable pathos, "My true friend, and his! Oh, guard him, and give me peace!" "I swear it!" he said solemnly, kneeling beside her and holding up his hand, as one who registers an oath.

"Dr. Van Helsing, I have not forgotten your mercy in poor Lucy's case to him who loved"—she stopped with a flying blush, and changed her phrase—"to him who had best right to give her peace. If that time shall come again, I look to you to make it a happy memory of my husband's life that it was his loving hand which set me free from the awful thrall upon me." "Again I swear!" came the Professor's resonant voice.

Lucy's final request of van Helsing before her death, and Mina's before her burial service.

Both ask him to take care of their loved one, and also to end their existence as a vampire and give them a peaceful rest. Lucy specifically asks van Helsing to keep Arthur safe from her, after her vampiric self tried to draw him in for a dangerous kiss. She sees he is vulnerable to her and fears she would physically harm him/put the same 'poison in his blood' as is already in hers. It is only after seeing how much better Jonathan feels upon having all doubt and uncertainty removed about the reality of vampires that van Helsing decides to tell Arthur the truth and ask him to stake Lucy. In doing so he tries to protect Arthur mentally/emotionally as well as just physically/spiritually.

Mina builds off that, asking van Helsing to ensure Jonathan does the same. She knows that the difficulty isn't as much coming from her should she turn (she already has several promises to stop her, and everyone knows what they are dealing with now) but from Jonathan himself. She wants van Helsing to try and get Jonathan to cooperate by killing her, believing that doing so will give both her husband and herself peace if only he can be persuaded to look at it the right way. She's more concerned about his mental state than physical safety from her vampiric self (at least, if he succumbs she knows it would be by premeditated choice so it still comes back to his mentality rather than her exercising an evil influence).
