Online Matchup

Summery: Y/n thought it would be fun signing up on dating sites, just for shits and giggles. Who knew that was one of the best decisions they made, especially when they're having too much fun talking to a certain Jason Todd.

warning: swearing, unedited I think, mentions of cancer, fluff, lots of back and forth teasing

word count: 3072

a/n: I promised myself I'd post a fic today, though it's not the one I wanted, I hope you enjoy regardless.

ao3 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

Inspired by this:

September 19

You matched with Jason Todd, say hello!

Y/N So, when you say you're looking for a partner in crime Do you mean, like, rob a bank and fight batman? Or like, cozy up on the couch with the fireplace going while it's raining while we try to finish the books we bought? Cuz, I can do the second one I dont think i could fight batman or any of his kids Or even what to, you know? They’re kind of scary …. well maybe one of them i would fight I say fight but its wont be Oh man, I am so sorry about this. This is not how i wanted to tell you that i am a rambler I’m just gonna see myself out Goodday

Jason Ngl this made me laugh So who would you fight but not really?

Y/N You can’t honestly be interested in who I would fight? No way

Jason Way you seemed interesting and i want to get to know you

Y/N … okay but you need to answer my question first

Jason: Lol fair. And it would be the second one. I too wouldn’t fight batman but for different reasons

Y/N: So you're a fighter?

Jason Nope This isn’t how it works

y/n: Fine but remember, you asked for this

Jason: Okay but it’s not like you have a plan on fighting all the batmans kids so i think im safe

y/n: …….

Jason: Oh shit you do?!

y/n: I plead the fifth

Jason: You just got a little more interesting

y/n: I’m going home

Jason: Damn and here i thought i’d finally found the love of my life

y/n: No, nope Don’t say that The more you talk to me, you’ll find the real me and then want nothing to do with me

Jason: Let me be the judge of that We matched for a reason and i want to find out Don’t you?

Y/n: Aren’t you a charmer Okay fine. 20 questions?

Jason: Sure but after you tell what you would do in a fight with the batfam

y/n: I was hoping you would drop this, damn Alright, you get the honour of telling me who you want to know 

Jason: Nightwing

Y/N: Really? Okay. well first i was thinking of just flirting my way out, but he looks like he’d flirt back and i’m not the best at it to begin with, so I’d just get all flustered Bro’s an acrobat, i aint running from him. I aint running from all of them if i’m being honest. Nah for nightwing, he strikes me as a dork in some way. I’ll talk my way out of it. And if there’s something i’m good at, it’s talking.

Jason: So your plan is to talk circles around him?

Y/N: Yes Once i figure out what type of dork he is, imma talk until he gets confused and then i’ll run away Bro won’t see it coming

Jason: I should tell my brother He’s a huge nightwing fan

y/n: Nooooooooooo No one needs to know i don’t need other people to know how weird i am Especially your family I don't want my first meeting to be ‘hey, you’re that chick that’ll talk nightwing to confusion. Man that was a great laugh’

Jason: You think this will go that far?

Y/N: Honestly? No But i have hope You?

Jason: Ya Anyways, red robin?

Y/N: You skipped red hood

Jason: Saving him for last

Y/N: Fair Hes smart, can’t really talk myself out of that one nor would I flirt He is too young and not my type So i use his weakness

Jason: There’s no way you know that

Y/N: No but I know the dude doesn’t have a regular sleep schedule.

Jason: How do you know that?

Y/N: Back when I worked at a coffee shop, I took his order a few times and watched him down his coffee while it was still hot I asked him once, why? Dude said, and i kid you not ‘sleep is for the week and coffee is god’ Ngl, i laughed and gave him a free coffee just for making my day

Jason: Shit day?

Y/N: Ugh you had no idea. I had two tests that day and a term paper due but i couldn’t get it printed in time so that was late Didn’t help i woke up on the couch, and my body didn’t like that

Jason: You in school?

Y/n: Ya, only two years in but i want it to end

Jason: Not a fan?

Y/N: Eh When did we start playing 20 questions?

Jason: Right, we we suppose to play after you finished your hypotheticals

Y/N: Curses Me and my big mouth Who’s next?

Jason: We’re still on RR

Y/N: Blah right I’ll just bride him with coffee and make a run for it

Jason: The fact that that could actually work is scary Are you sure you’re not a villain?

Y/N: Nope just an engineering student who could fight god with enough coffee and no sleep Honestly, RR’s my spirit animal

Jason: Robin

Y/N: Are you nuts? I’d turn myself in and then some ain’t no way i’m coming up with a plan for him He scares me

Jason: Why?

Y/N: I watched him fight a few times The dude has enough skill and rage to fight the justice league if need be I bet he could kill too He looks like it

Jason: Okay you're not wrong But if you had to come up with a plan, what would it be?

Y/N: Cannot believe you’re making me do this Fine Little dude may have a hard exterior, but years of reading and knowing people like him, he has a soft spot and use that against him

Jason: Do you know what that is?

Y/N: … I am going to die If robin finds this, I am dying by either embarrassment or by his hands

Jason: Come on, you gotta tell me I’m at the edge of my seat here

Y/N: Fine, but if i’m going down I’m taking you with me

Jason: But we’ve only just met

Y/N: Maybe so, but I actually like you But i’m starting to doubt

Jason: Aw come on, little bird

Y/N: Damnit I happened to be walking home and watched him sit in an alley playing with cats Must have been a slow night, he was there for hours

Jason: It was the little bird wasn’t it?

Y/N: So who’s next? Spoiler? Batgirl? The signal? Red hood? Oracle? Well, I wouldn’t fight Oracle, I don’t know who they are but I know they would win so I’m going to stay clear of them No, you know what? I can tell you my answer for all three of them I’d bribe them with cookies or something. Idk if they would take it but that’s my plan. Just straight up bribery. Who could resist cookies?

Jason: That’s your answer to everything huh?

Y/n: Yup

Jason: Even with RH?

Y/n: … He’s different

Jason: How so?

Y/N: Mm, okay but your not allowed to judge Or laugh

Jason: Should I be scared?

Y/N: Depends Anyways, i have a crush on him So I would shoot my shot and if i get turned down then at least I tried

Jason: You have a crush on Red Hood? Out of everyone there is, why him?

Y/N: You’re judging! You said you wouldn’t

Jason: I didn’t say shit Now tell me why him?

Y/N: Hell if I know But have you seen him?

Jason: I have but you don’t even see his face

Y/N: That just adds to the mystic that is Red Hood I just know he’s got a good looking face underneath the mask

Jason: You really are something else

Y/N: Sorry I’m a big fan of RH And I guess I like the thought of a mystery So if you want to end this now, I understand

Jason: Who said anything about ending this?

Y/N: Don’t know, a lot of people who seem interested in me kind of leave after they find out Either they don’t want to compete with a crush that I know have zero chance at or they just don’t like red hood and being with a fan isn’t something they want

Jason: They’re stupid I ain’t leaving for that And who knows, maybe you can shoot your shot one day

Y/N: HA That’s not going to happen I freeze up when I’m near someone I like I’d probably stutter and say something embarrassing and run away No thank you

Jason: Thought it out huh

Y/N: You have no idea Anyways, 20 questions?

Jason: I did promise You can ask a couple?

Y/N: Favourite colour?

Jason: Really? After what I did to you, your going to ask something simple

Y/N: Answer the question Jason

Jason: Green

Y/N: Thank you Favourite food?

Jason: What’s with the easy questions? Give me some hard hitting personal ones

Y/N: I will in time Now, answers please

Jason: Chili dogs

Y/N: Those things are gross

Jason: Hey, they are the pinnacle of street food You just have to find the right places

Y/N: Mmkay, if you say so

Jason: Alright, gonna have to take you to one of my favourite places

Y/N: That right?

Jason: Only way to convince you Where do you go to school?

Y/N: Looking forward to it Gotham University, you?

Jason: Not yet, but trying to Kind of hard when you were declared dead for a while

Y/N: Fucking what?! Gonna need that story

Jason: Nope, gotta reach at least level 10 in friendship to unlock it

YN: Damnit

Jason: Sorry little bird

Y/N: You didn’t need to say it so casually tho Who just mentions, ‘yeah i’ve been declared dead but haven’t done anything’ into a conversation And not elaborate on it This is bullshit, sir

Jason: It has happened to people

Y/N: Yeah, but they tell people why You just Dropped a bomb like that and say, not yet Whatever, i’ll drop it

Jason: You sure? Sounds like it’ll bother you until you get the story

Y/N: Yes I’m sure Yes it will bother me But like I said, I like you and I don’t want to be pushy I’m not a pushy person

Jason: Awe does someone have a wittle crush

Y/N: No You got nothing on RH

Jason: Now that just hurts, little bird

Y/N: Don’t you have a question you need to ask?

Jason: Are you flustered? I feel like you’re flustered

Y/N: Amazing weather we’re having Despite the rain and all

Jason: Alright, I’ll stop with the teasing For now Born in Gotham?

Y/N: No I am from Metropolis, moved here for school

Jason: Any other reason?

Y/N: Yeah, Superman kept destroying my apartment building I’ve moved three times and somehow, he always finds the building I’m living in Minute I graduated high school, I moved

Jason: But why Gotham?

Y/N: Gotham intrigues me

Jason: You’re so weird

Y/N: Thank you Since you’re not in school, what do you do?

Jason: Mechanic Didn’t really want my dad’s help so I’m finding my way in life

Y/N: Not a great relationship?

Jason: You can say that So, engineering huh?

Y/N: Yup I love building and taking things apart Have since I was little

Jason: Gonna change the world?

Y/N: Imma try but can’t really do that while working at luthor corp

Jason: Please tell me your joking

Y/N: Ah, not a fan I see Can’t blame you but I am not It was one of the first places I’ve applied to and hear back right away I accepted before getting my other interviews

Jason: jumped the gun a bit 

Y/N: Yeah I did. I wished I didn’t but oh well I’ll find something better if this doesn’t work out

Jason: Why don’t you quit now?

Y/N: I am a broke college student who needs money If I quit now, I’m not sure if I find someone to take me Plus the hours working there are helping my schooling, so it’s kinda late to switch jobs

Jason: Can’t believe I’m saying this but try wanye enterprise I hear they’re good to work for

Y/n: I plan too eventually But at the moment, this is fine The hours I have now works with my school hours

Jason: How’s working there anyways?

Y/N: Not too bad I guess I’m allowed to work on my own projects as long as I work on the assigned ones The people are nice and all but it could be better

Jason: But you don’t like it there?

Y/N: I don’t like Lex Luthor and what he represents I guess

Jason: So you believe that he’s trying to take down superman?

Y/N: I’ve seen one of their fights Nothing to believe

Jason: Must of been some fight

Y/N: Mm So What did you mean, I can’t believe I’m saying this?

Jason: You can’t be weird about it

Y/N: Oh? I am intrigued

Jason: You’re making it weird

Y/N: I am not It’s not like I said you have a crush on Bruce Wayne or something That would have been weird

Jason: Is this how you felt when I teased you?

Y/N: Paybacks a bitch isn’t it?

Jason: I hate you

Y/N: Okay

Jason: I do

Y/N: You’re deflecting

Jason: Oh my god Fine He’s my dad, well adoptive dad

Y/N: Cool

Jason: That’s it? You’re not going to fawn over him being my dad? Ask me questions about what he’s like? Ask if the tabloids are true?

Y/N: Nope Tbh, I don’t care for Bruce Like, I applaud him for what he’s trying to do for Gotham and all But, seeing him on every magazine everywhere I go gets a bit tiring He’s just another dude that people are obsessed with Who cares if he’s rich Besides, I’m talking to you aren’t I? Who cares about Bruce Wayne I wanna know Jason Todd

Jason: You know? I think I may actually be in love 

Y/N: Stooooooop You can’t say things like that

Jason Why? Cuz you get flustered so easily?

Y/N And if I do?

Jason Gotta say it’s my favourite past time

Y/N So, the reason you don’t have a great relationship with Bruce Does it have anything to do with you being dead or something?

Jason Wow WOW I cannot believe you We go from what's your favourites to hard hitting questions huh? I see how it is

Y/N I told you they were coming

Jason I just didn’t think you’d use it as a deflection tactic

Y/N Yeah I want to say sorry But I’m not I’m sure you would use anything to get attention from yourself

Jason Can’t do positive attention

Y/N Eh

Jason I hear you And yes it is part of the reason why me and Bruce are not in good terms

Y/N Mm, I’m sure he’s trying

Jason In his own Bruce way yeah

Y/N Are you?

Jason I like to believe I am Why the interest?

Y/N I don’t know Maybe it’s the fact that my relationship with my dad isn’t the best

Jason You’re dad’s not Bruce Wayne’s too?

Y/N HA Then I would not be talking to you in this fashion

Jason That is true So then what?

Y/N My mom says we are too similar to each other Got the same attitude and all I believe it Growing up, it was all your useless and you’ll amount to nothing Or he’ll ignore me, and I’d prefer that over the degrading Only time he’d show his affection was if he was drunk

Jason Wow Sorry 

Y/N Yeah It’s gotten better since I moved out Now it’s there, and I’m still processing 

Jason Processing what?

Y/N Mm It’s a pretty heavy topic to get into with someone you just met

Jason Can’t be worse than me being dead for months

Y/N Months?! How many?

Jason Oh damn You are a lot easier to talk with then who I normally socialize with

Y/N I shall take that as a complement

Jason As you should And no, I will not be elaborating 

Y/N Alright fair But I will get the story

Jason Mm, I’m sure you will So? Gonna answer my question

Y/N Last year he was diagnosed with cancer Not sure what it is, but it already spread

Jason How long did the doctors give him?

Y/N He didn’t want to know Can’t blame him for 

Jason Sorry about that

Y/N Yeah

Jason You don’t sound to hurt about it

Y/N Like I said, still processing it so I don’t know how to feel With the childhood I had, I don’t know how too But I know when it comes down to it, my emotions will hit me like a truck when the day comes

Jason Well, soak up as much time as you can before you have any regrets

Y/N Trying to He is just making it impossible Whoo boy! That was a lot of emotion for one night I think I’m going to eat some ice cream and binge watch my favourite show

Jason Sounds fun, wish I could join but I promised my brothers with help

Y/N How many do you have?

Jason Do you read anything about the Wayne family?

Y/N Nope What I know about him is what is whispered between my classes and work and even then I don’t listen to them

Jason Really committed on not caring about him, huh Four brothers and three sisters

Y/N Big family

Jason Bruce likes to adopt

Y/N I can tell Anyways, have fun tonight

Jason I’ll try Would you be interested in talking some more?

Y/N I would love to

[pray4byron]

hi hi! i just saw that you were doing matchups for hazbin, and i wanted to send something in!! this is my first time sending in anything like this on tumblr, so hoping i’m doing this right!!

✧ i’m genderfluid, and i’m generally more interested in men than i am women

✧ i’m ambiverted - i was raised in a way that made me a bit socially isolated, so i have issues with being social today. i don’t really know how to introduce myself to people, so i don’t speak to people unless they speak to me first. when it’s someone new, i usually let them lead the conversation, but when i’m comfortable with someone, i talk a lot more - i’ll tell them random stories i remember, and infodump about my current interest, run down the entire plot of the book i’m currently reading, all of that. my brain goes faster than my mouth a lot of the time, and i have trouble putting my thoughts and feelings into words.

✧ my style is all over the place. the most common color in my wardrobe is black, because mixing and matching colors kinda stresses me out. not to mention what i wear in my day to day can change depending on where i feel on the gender spectrum at any given time. my default is combat boots and (faux) leather jacket + gold rings and earrings

✧ my main love languages are acts of service (receiving) and gift giving (giving) - making people stuff is a sort of hobby of mine. i crochet a lot, and i love love love making people plushies <3 a lot of the time i’ll even start a craft project that i don’t even really want to keep and put it away in a stash of stuff to give to other people when the opportunity arises

✧ i bounce hobbies a lot, but the main ones that have stuck with me over a long period of time are drawing/animating and reading

✧ i have obsessive-compulsive disorder. there are certain topics/words i absolutely cannot say due to my ocd labeling it as taboo, and it’s made me a very superstitious person

✧ i cycle through interests a lot lot lot, but animation (both itself and as an industry) have been my main one for a while now. currently, i’m also really into dinosaurs and jurassic park! (fun fact, the velociraptor in jurassic park ought to be closer to the size they depict the dilophosaurus, and the dilophosaurus ought to be closer to the size they depict the velociraptor!)

make sure you don’t burn yourself out with these, i’ve seen you answer a lot already, take your time!! thanks in advance!

haha dw you did everything it seems!! i’m already burning myself out a bit sadly, as i’ve seemed to get a lot of requests than i can chew haha, but i’m gonna make it work!! you seem like such a sweetie, so ty anon for requesting!! i match you with…

Lucifer !!

Luci is a bit socially isolated too haha, as he sits at home and makes ducks all day

Speaking of, you two have your fair share of grandma-grandpa hobbies that you do together (crochet, knitting, etc)

He loves trying new hobbies with you, it keeps you entertained since your hobbies bounce back a lot, and it gets him out of his comfort zone

Also, he loves reading to you, he will do a bunch of silly voice for all the characters XD

You both just tend to info dump about your favorite topics to eachother, which Lucifer loves, no one really listens to his odd rambles, so the fact that you do is very heartwarming💕

[sydmarch]

round 3 of the disco sexyman bracket is on!

matchups for round 3:

harry vs soona

smoker on the balcony vs ruby vs garte

kim vs novelty dicemaker

klaasje vs call me manana

just like last time this post will be the only one to go into any main tags so as not to spam & all of the polls will be tagged just "disco sexyman bracket"

results from round 2 below the cut along w my silly little commentary

harry deserves this. fuck your ex babygirl

honestly kind of surprising because doom spiral is so like. classic sexyman pathetic but soona's win is well deserved here. we love a girl with autism swag

ANOTHER TIE!! not surprising this one was extremely hotly debated. personally i think ruby is SEXIER but smoker on the balcony is more SEXYMAN. amazing how this worked out this sets up the funniest match of all time for the next round

GARTESWEEP GARTESWEEP!!! MY FAIL LOSER BOY ACTUALLY WON THIS TIME AROUND!!! proof that anything can be accomplished through the sheer power of Being Annoying. can't wait to see him either 1. lose terribly to ruby and/or the smoker 2. somehow beat them both in the biggest upset of all time. COULD YOU IMAGINE GARTE GOING UP AGAINST HARRY LMAO?? which flavor of fail man would you like today.

it was always gonna be like this i'm so sorry acele

honestly super surprised by this one i would've thought lizzie had this in the bag but like. i can definitely see neha's appeal

joyce gets what she deserves here for ousting evrart in round 1

not even a little surprising. thank you for your service titus (that service being knocking out jean in round 1 which i am STILL not over lmao)

[eternalwritess]

i hope i'm not requesting anything at a bad time; i guess i'll take a romantic matchup for hazbin?? i know helluva's in tje same universe i'm just. uegj,

Pronouns: they/them/theirs; anytime i shoot for they/he i forget 2 seconds later, it's like there's just a single semi-visible crumb of man inside that i can rarely beat in a footrace i'm sorry. He's There.

Sexuality: gay (nblm/mlm/achillean)

Personality: gonna be real with you, i am. honestly kind of a nervous wreck?? i'm trying my best not to be so timid or insecure to such a degree but anxiety is something i struggle with Horrendously and i? die,

might also be a lil depressed and a lil lost in life but we're not talking about that today—

if i manage to feel comfortable enough with someone though i can definitely either be a complete doofus or very clingy (or in a romantic context, touch-starved) and very,,,, puppybrained?? as they say??? a

Hobbies: aside from venting my emotions through baking and being a bit of a bookworm or library-mouse, i tend to draw somewhat often (even if it's kinda. b a d) and i've been on a stream-watching kick as of late?? i may also touch a video game from time to time, but like. don't a lot of us

Pet peeves: off the top of my head, when people try accusing me of shit i didn't do, fake people, when people handle time travel plotlines Like That (you know what i'm talking about), mother's day

idrk man it's hard to recall pet peeves for me when i'm not Completely pissed or salty, i hope that's sufficient💦

i'm sorry if i butchered the format i have n o idea how this is gonna look as a submitted ask 🏃‍♂️

𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕕 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙…

𝓗𝓾𝓼𝓴!

i wasn't really given much to work with so sorry if its kinda short and inaccurate

You probably met at the hotel and just needed someone to talk to and Charlie wasn't there so he decided to listen to you

He'd most likely talk with you over your anxiety and try to calm you down if things get too bad

"Deep breaths"

As for venting he's heard it all and knows how to deal with it all so he's more than willing just to listen to you and give you advice from there.

He's not that big into electronics but I'm sure that you might be able to get him to watch a few streams with you if he's in the mood

He wouldn't mind the clingyness very much as long as it doesn't become paranoia or anything harmful to the relationship or such

You and him might discuss books every now and then and he would try and give you reccomendations even if they might be a bit out of style

"Have you read?..."

He likes your drawings and likes watching you improve and will gently tease you about them and then say how good they are and how you've improved

Husk isn't a fake person at all and is more of a down to Earth person

He's very honest and will most likely never lie to you if he does it's most likely about him being an overlord because he's embarrassed or with his contract with Alastor just because he doesn't want you to get worried

But even if he did and you found out he would apologize and you might go through a rough patch but thats about it

Over all it would be a very caring relationship <3

[imjustabeanie]

Matchup exchange with @ddora-kken

So sorry it took so long ^^'

OBEY ME

Your obey me match is….Simeon!

It was between him and Satan but Satan’s baggage is a mess that’s why I thought someone gentle like Simeon would suit you more. There was also Solomon today and I don’t know how he just stuck so much! From what I understood about you, you’re friendly, artistic and quite energetic! You seem like a passionate and sensible soul. Simeon can match your pace but still guide you gently to keep you safe.

You two met at a type of brainstorming event for writers (I just came up with it). In short, you got paired as a team and had to write mini stories in specific teams. It lasted 3 days and you bonded very well! So well that you started having weekly meetings lol. At first you shared writing tips, with Simeon being more experienced. And then it went into your likes and dislikes. This relationship is a slow burn/friends to lovers. None dares to make the first move for months. That’s until Luke has enough and somehow manage to spill the beans about how much Simeon talks about you. Quite a funny way to ask you out no?

Simeon is a gentleman and a subtle lover. He shows his love through actions and words. He always supports you, advise you and is just present for you to vent. He also does his best to make your life more comfortable by doing chores for you and remembering the little things you like. For exemple, you get a pastry from him each day. On special occasions, he even goes out of his way to plan a special date and gifts you first prints of your favorite books. He also likes classics and if he can’t find the first print he might give you one from his personal collection.

It doesn’t mean that you two don’t have quality time together! He makes it a mission to spend every night in your shared home. His favorite moment each day is cooking dinner with you and then just relaxing in the same room. He lovingly calls you his muse because his art blocks just melt away after spending time with you. It’s quite frequent to enter your house and find both of you in what you can call a hobbit room. You’re either found drawing/reading and he is found writing, brainstorming or watching you. He insists on these moments because they’re quite relaxing and he wants to lessen your stress. When you get insecure he has none of that and just showers you in compliments. He loves you as you are, you are not too emotional or anything.

You’d introduce him to more outdoor activities not gonna lie. Cuz he loves the thrill but doesn’t know where to find it. He’d insist on exploring the human world with you and actually has a scrapbook with all your favorite memories like an old fashioned man. Speaking of that….please teach him how to use a phone. He still sends letters and even sent a pigeon once!

GENSHIN (SUMERU):

Now….none is Sumeru fits you more than Kaveh. Yeah it’s nice to have a calmer partner, but one that’s wilder than you also makes for a pretty good mix.

Kaveh is a very passionate scholar, I believe you two met at the Akademia. You are from Haravatat and you two had to work together on a renovation project of some ancient structure. Contrary to what everyone thought, you two got along quite well. He was a bit judgmental given how Alhaitham and Faruzan are but in the end was genuinely surprised. You both respect each other and share the same passion in your respective fields. At the end of the collaboration he found himself yearning for more. That’s why he asked you on dates using ‘exploring and studying ancient architectures’ as an excuse to gawk at you and not the building. He confessed drunk after he walked to your house instead of his.

Listen to me, the moment he can run away from Alhaitham house he will. So the moment you ask him to live with you his bags will be ready. But this time he will ask for your opinion while decoration it and will drag you with him for shopping when you want. His dream is to build your dream house and he’s actually saving for it! He wants it to be a surprise and the ultimate proof of his love.

Despite his energetic self, he actually enjoys recharging at home with you. When he finds you reading or writing he will just make you a cup of tea and kiss your forehead gently. He calls you his muse and has a plethora of nicknames for you. His love language is a big mixt. He’s of everything! He brings you flowers, treats you like a princess and plans dates on social occasions! Kaveh is emotionally intelligent so he can also predict your moods and acts accordingly. He may not know how to give advices but he’s the best emotional support one could ask for.

Kaveh often comes to you for book recommendations. When he finishes the books he loves discussing them with you. Especially if he got surprised by an element in the plot! Kaveh likes rambling a lot because he feels comfortable around you. He’s always talking about his new plans or complaining about people. The only thing he won’t share are the surprises he plans for you. Unfortunately, he also won’t share his troubles because he doesn’t want to burden you or cause another accident similar to what happened with his father… He’d rather suffer than to share his burdens. It will take him time and patience on your part for him to open up fully. For a shining star like him he is blind to his light. That’s the only issue in the couple I guess.

In your house, Kaveh will definitely plan for a drawing room cuz you both need it! Plus, he gives nice drawing tips. Kaveh sometimes get frustrated when you don’t get the hint so he’ll tell you in a pouty voice but means no harm. Your relationship is very lively and adventurous. Yet you two find earth in your house together to not lose your train of thoughts.

GENSHIN (LIYUE)

Liyue was very difficult…but in the end Baizhu won. This relationship surprised most people in Liyue but who are they to judge.

You two met by pure accident in the forest. You found a nice writing spot and he somehow got lost. He was very tired so you helped him out. Not gonna lie he got embarrassed at being seen in that state. That’s why he insisted on repaying you anyways possible and you two started arguing because you didn’t want it. Suddenly, rain started to pour and you two hid in a cavern of some sort. With Changsheng giving her two cents every two seconds and the hour long rain, it was bound for both of you to talk to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere! You two did get along, when you mentioned drawing Baizhu was interested. He also draws but its plants. He invited you to show his drawings and share a warm cup of tea. That’s how you somehow became a friend. The romantic relationship took time to form but he finally confessed after your wild personality got you into trouble and he patched you up. He realized loosing you was out of the question and asked you out.

Baizhu love language is peculiar. He shows his love by making sure you’re healthy (ironic coming from him cough-). At first it will be overbearing to be introduced to so many herbal teas and healthy foods but he’ll do his best to make you like them. He doesn’t focus on the appearance aspect at all, he just wants you to be healthy internally if it makes sense. He’ll calm down your acne and helps you reduce your stress. Heck I even see the two of you practicing a sport together after Changsheng accused him of not following his own sport advices. It’s the reason why both of you take yoga classes. Baizhu also loves giving you gifts. He knows he is busy, he doesn’t spend as much time as he wishes with you and sometimes he isolate himself so you won’t get sick. He tries to make up for it and actually loves cuddling with you (you introduced him to it. He was too shy at first lol). But he still compensates by getting you gifts and preparing a drawing/writing room with the best materials for you. He also gets you a new flower with a new meaning each day and writes you a loving word. When he works for over a day, he brings you a new book. He actively hunts for first prints of your favorites and surprises you with them at anniversaries.

Baizhu can’t really adventure but he tries for you lol. He also tries to endanger himself less and is more actively searching for an immortality solution. He knows his days are numbered and doesn’t want for his life to end tragically when he just met his love! When he finally spills the beans about his condition, he fully expects you to leave him. You’re angry, which is understandable, but he is surprised that you stay and just scold him for his silence. Your relationship became stronger after this.

You and Baizhu are an odd couple. While you are adventurous, wild and emotional, he is logical, sly and secretive. Despite this his love is pure as you became his Raison d'être.

[suashii]

goooood morning ++ happy wednesday everyone :3 i hope the week has been treating everyone well so far! it’s gonna be suuuuper hot for me today so if that’s the same for you ( and even if it’s not ) please remember to stay hydrated !! wishing you a good day and blabbering a bit under the cut~

what i’ve been up to:

got back from vacay sunday night — it was fun! i didn’t spend as much time in the water as i would have liked but i had a good time with my favorite people heh. hmm, slept almost the entirety of monday lol and i had work yesterday :3 ngl i’ve been vv exhasuted but i think i’m beginning to bounce back!

what i will be up to:

i’m almost finished with my summer term which is great but that also means the fall semester is about to start. . . boo. but on a happier note i’m going to see barbie with a friend i haven’t seen in forever! super excited to see her <3 also my anniversary with the boyfie + birthday are both quickly approaching and i’m trying to convince him to focus on our anniversary since that’s something we can both celebrate ( my bday is four days after so i don’t want him buying gifts for both heh )

okay one last thing — i’m gonna start planning the little dating app matchups! i want them to be cute but fear i’m going to drive myself insane trying to make them perfect lol so wish me luck

[kazuyummy]

hi! here's my req for a match-up:

fandom: haikyuu individualistic, funny, enigmatic, quiet 🍎 nonsense by sabrina carpenter (why's it catchy omg) misc: no angst pls </3

hope you're doing well <3

hi hi hi that song gives me vibes of such a giddy kind of love??? like you can't stop looking at them and twirling your hair but also smacking yourself not knowing what to do with all those feels??? and the song IS hella catchy!

i would match you up with HANAMAKI TAKAHIRO. you give mattsun-adjacent vibes in that you seem quirky and chaotic in the best way possible, and honestly a bit hard to figure out! so i thought maki would be a great kind of friends-to-lovers match for you. i think you would be the one making insanely underrated and hilarious jokes under your breath about things you observe, and maki overhearing and spitting out his water at your quips. he would be so intensely drawn to you and how you march to the beat of your own drum - he'd want to find out more about you but also be respectful of the space and quiet time that you need. also, oikawa would have no chance when the two of you start roasting him - so that's always a win!

some drabble below the cut (and i'm finally starting to put gifs on these where i can LMAOO)

❀ LATE NIGHTS WITH YOU

"what's got maki in a good mood today?"

"some girl on campus he's been talking to."

he whirls around defensively, "she's not just some girl, dude. she-"

"okay, okay. no need to be so dramatic."

the three can tell he's down bad about you since he doesn't bother with a retort - the typically sassy maki lets it go today

"wasn't he working the overnight shift yesterday? it's kind of creepy how happy he is right now."

hajime isn't wrong - he was working an overnight shift at the 24/7 ramen restaurant near campus. on weekends, it's typical for drunk kids to stop by after a night at the club, but yesterday was particularly quiet

you catch his eye when you come in at 2 a.m., a bit disheveled from a nighttime study session - but to him, you look absolutely stunning

he recognizes you from one of his classes - so when he brings out your food and a bubble tea on the house (the flavour he notices you bring to class), he shoots his shot and asks if he can sit down with you - no one else is in, after all

you grin and offer him one of the takoyaki you order, and for a while, you sit and watch the anime playing on the restaurant screen in silence

all it takes is one joke you crack about one of the silly characters looking like him for you to both burst out laughing, pointing things out about the show you're watching and teasing each other like old friends

the next hour is filled with lively chatter and good food, until you start to get sleepy - though he offers to walk you home when his shift is done, you live right across the street so you settle on him standing outside to make sure you get home safe

he also gives his sweater to you, insisting as he's also brought a jacket - and though you get a bit shy about it, you take it

when you finally get up to leave, you call with a wink,

"if you're gonna keep giving me such good 2 a.m. noodles, this might become a bad habit of mine."

that line is all he can keep replaying in his head, ignoring his three friends as they continue to tease him about you

not sure if this totally worked out but all i could imagine was a silly late-night run in with food and good company, blossoming into a romance that even his friends notice. so i hope you enjoy!

anyone can request a matchup here 💫

probably only doing a few more - have 4 (?) to complete after this which will bring me to 13 i think? so then probably 2 more to 15. i'll update the linked post when i get around to it lol

[softxsuki]

I just saw your post about how you have work and are still gonna try to get the matchups done- I am so touched! Please don't worry about it and take your time! I'm sure no one minds waiting for it! Make sure you work only when you're comfortable and do not take stress! Love you <3

Oh wow! Thank you so much for saying this!! Honestly, I really needed to hear this right now. I work 5 days in a row this week starting tomorrow (technically today bc it’s midnight already) until Friday. And I’m working all closing shifts, so from 3pm-9:30pm. But I live 45 min away from where I work so I have to drive basically 2 hours a day each day. And let me tell you GAS ISNT CHEAP. So much of my paycheck goes towards gas each week 😭.

But seriously you guys are so so sweet. I don’t know what I did to deserve such nice followers 🥹💗. I know I’m pretty awkward at conversations sometimes (especially if you try to dm me. I’m so silent and awkward for no reason. I’m sorry). So I never thought I’d ever get interactions like this with you guys, but it makes me so incredibly happy whenever anyone reaches out like this.

I have been feeling a little overwhelmed and nervous because I know I have people waiting for their matchups (like 30 of you now) and I also have people waiting for their regular requests to be written (over 100, again im sorry 😭). And whenever urgent requests come in, I also have people waiting on those. And it’s my worst fear to disappoint people. I don’t want to disappoint ANY of you. But I’m also really enjoying writing these matchups. I try to be as accurate as possible, which is why they take me a little while to post. I take like 2 hours trying to put all the info together and narrow it down to a single person from each fandom. Then the rest of the writing comes out a little faster!

Gosh look at me rambling again. Sorry for rambling under your ask, anon 😭. But thank you again, I really really needed this kind of reassurance right now. I still probably won’t stop worrying though or thinking that everyone is going to hate me for not writing their matchups fast enough. I can’t help my mind! I shall do my best to not worry too much though and just get to things when I get to them! Love youuuuuuuuuu. Make sure you take care of yourself and thank you x13892922992 for popping in to say this at the perfect time. 💗

Wings of Warriors - Warrior Cat Wing AU

Summary:

There's been a prey thief at large, and Hollyleaf finally catches them.

Notes:

I made this for this daily in scratch writing camp: In a galaxy far far away, a meowing polar bear is... STARVING. What an unfortunate result of climate change. Today, your mission is to bake a lasagna in order to feed the starving polar bears. But first, you'll need ingredients! In the comments, write 1 aspect of worldbuilding, 1 antagonist, 1 lesson, 1 line of dialogue, and 1 turning point. Then, claim one of each from five different people so that you have the five layers of your lasagna story. Make sure to write at least 300 words (you don't want undercooked lasagna, do you?) to earn 300 points! (Brownie points if you feed a polar bear on the daily team lasagna :3) My comment was: Worldbuilding: Discuss the details of a fictional species. Antagonist: A childhood enemy that got worse over time. Lesson: Main character learns that they can work as well together as they can alone, should they choose to. Dialogue: “But- but that’s not fair!” Turning point: A character discovers a stronger motivation to do something.   I was gonna write Pokespe (Hoenn) fic, but I couldn’t find a worldbuilding that fit what I was going for, so I’ll have to shelve that for later. Enjoy some Warrior Cats wing au! I guess! Words: 1,057

Fic under the cut or in the link in the title. :3

Hollyleaf crept quietly along the mossy forest floor, folding her dark crow wings tight to her back as she did. She kept her claws in, but felt her nose twitch as she sensed something in the air. That had to be it! That had to be who she was looking for.

Over the past few days, Thunderclan had been losing prey like down feathers on a fledgling kit, and Hollyleaf had promised herself that she would get to the bottom of it. In this dark forest night, she bended in well with the dark ferns, which was something good she could say about her dark fur, at least. She opened her mouth to allow the scent to mix better with her memories. She was sure that she recognized it from someone, but for some reason she simply could not muster up from where.

She could hear them, chewing messily on whatever they had stolen from the pile now, clearly unaware that they were being tracked. Hollyleaf lashed her tail in rage. How could someone, who she was now sure was a cat, betray the Warrior Code in such a way? To steal away food from those that truly needed it, for what reason? Some inability to hunt for the group?

Hollyleaf snarled, and the sounds from the shadowy figure before her stopped. Good, she thought, They'll be scared before I catch them.

She leaped forward, fangs bared, claws out, and wings spread, and landing where the figure had been meer moments before. She hissed and whipped around as the large shape rolled away to the side, still masked by the dark sky above the and scent of all of the mice it had been pigging out on. 

”Who are you?!“ She hissed, leaping forward again, but still somehow missing as the cat dove away. She'd only seen one other who could move that fast in battle, and she didn't very well like having the matchup with another cat, ”Why have you been stealing prey?“

The cat didn't answer, and Hollyleaf snarled again, spreading her wings even wider as a way to threaten the larger cat. But they seemed to be trying to turn their face away from her, so she wasn't even sure if they'd seen her. 

”Answer me!“ She shrieked, jumping forward in an attempt to pull the larger cat down, but missing as large powerful wings sent them over her. Immediately she whirled around, but her claws raked on air as the cat scrambled up a nearby maple tree. 

Hollyleaf hissed and followed after them. It was too tight in the forest to fly up, but if she could get them into the sky somehow... Sure, the moon was dark tonight, but maybe Star Clan's light would allow her to see the face of the cat she was fighting, and therefore reveal the identity of Thunderclan's thief. 

Just her luck, the bigger cat seemed to have the same idea, as he climbed higher and higher in the tree. (An extra bonus of which was that, by the way they were climbing, Hollyleaf was now pretty sure that this cat was a Thunderclan cat, which made her even more irritated. 

”Hey!“ she yelled, egging them on as the two cats reached the highest point in the tree, ”Fight me, you thief!“

The cat did not even pause when they reached the top branch of the tree, though the speckles of starlight down from the sky began to bring their pelt into a recognizable state. Orange-ish, with stripes. Large barn owl wings that spread open with a power unlike any other as the cat leaped into the sky.

Hollyleaf jumped after him, feeling the wind tear through her fur as she fought to keep up with the thief. He was unbelievably fast for a cat of his size, and something in Hollyleaf's brain was doing its best to connect the clues, but something else seemed to be doing its fair job to keep her from the truth. She wanted to hiss at that side of her mind, but she had enough on her paws already as she fought to keep up with the bigger cat.

See was so focused, indeed, on all of that nonsense, that she didn't even notice the clouds coming in overhead, slowly blanketing the familiar pelt back in a layer of shadows. They were fine with her, her crow wings and black fur had her blend very nicely into the dark, and the panic she could smell on the larger cat told her that they weren't a fan of that part of their chase.

The cat dove for the trees, and Hollyleaf swooped after it. She felt her face turn into a grin. She was gaining on them for sure now. 

She felt her claws latch in their pelt, and her nose immediately filled with their scent as the two crashed through the tree layer. Her eyes widened as the cat yelped.

“Lionblaze!?” Hollyleaf shrieked, her claws still deeply rooted in that orange fur as the two landed in the branches of a large pine, ”Why have you been stealing our prey?!”

A crack of thunder overhead came with a sudden heavy downpour of raindrops that broke right through the needles onto her fur. But she hardly noticed them, instead shivering from wingtip to claws from the force of utter betrayal she felt in her heart. How could someone like this, her brother, break the Warrior Code so egregiously?

How could Star Clan be so cruel?

“Well,” Lionblaze started, his voice shaky and scarred, “I had to do it,”

“But why?!” screamed Hollyleaf, shaking her brother like he weighed nothing as thick lightning bolts raced across the sky, picking up leaves and branches like nothing as the wind grew. “What do you mean you “had to?” Are you insane?!”

Lionblaze flinched, and his wings shivered, but Hollyleaf did not allow him to move, a traitor like him could never be considered a friend to her, even as the clouds began to spiral down around them. Even as the rain began to wrap around an ever growing horror. 

As Lionblaze struggled to speak, Hollyleaf felt blood pound in her ears, even flat against her head as they were. Her heart felt broken. In this storm, she could only find one constant.

Life wasn't fair.

Notes:

Here's what I used: Worldbuilding: Each person has some sort of wings. Some people have robin wings, others have California condors. Some people are bat-like, some people more comparable to flying fish- although those aren't true wings.

Tournament Report! League Challenge 7-30-2023.

Hello everyone, I'm home from playing in my local's league challenge and got 3rd place with my Palkia VSTAR/Chien Pao ex deck! This was my first league challenge of this season, so I'm happy that I was able to get some Championship Points for it. I'm gonna break down the list and my matchups from today. I've also added a typed out version of my list in the description cause I know the glare is pretty bad lol.

I decided to run this list because it's what I've been playing the most lately. It also helps that it's really fun to play! Being able to just swing for 300 on turn 2 with Chien Pao's Hail Blade attack makes a ton of matchups easier, like Arceus/Duraludon and Urshifu/Inteleon. For the most part though, I want to attack with Palkia VSTAR. It just pumps out a lot of consistent damage, especially in a format were decks rely on filling up their bench. You'll see that I've included Canceling Cologne. This is mostly for matchups that don't like it when Radiant Greninja can knock out multiple Pokémon, such as various Lost Box decks, Gardevoir, and United Wings. These decks tend to play Manaphy for it's ability to protect their bench from damage done by attacks with Wave Veil, but with Canceling Cologne we can get around it. Here's the sequence: use either Boss's Orders or Cross Switcher to promote Manaphy, then play Canceling Cologne, then use Palkia VSTAR's Star Portal VSTAR Power to accelerate 3 energy to Radiant Greninja, then use Radiant Greninja's Moonlight Shuriken attack to knock out 2 Pokémon with 90 HP or less, profit. It's a lot easier said than done, but it's insanely good if we can pull it off.

So why no Baxcalibur? Chien Pao is usually played with Baxcalibur with the ability Super Cold, which allows you to attach as many water energies from your hand to your Pokémon in any way you like (during your turn of course). It basically allows you to do as much damage for as many water energy you play, so why not play it. In my opinion, it's a little too bulky for the deck. You're playing a stage 2 while having to constantly dump your hand, whether it be from Ultra Ball for Pokemon search, Superior Energy Retrieval to refill your board with energy, or with random cards you really don't wanna play right now, but need to so you can draw more with Bibarel's Industrious Incisors ability. So, even though we lose the explosiveness of Baxcalibur, we gain more consistency with just running Palkia VSTAR. In the end, it has work out fine.

Now, let's get into my matchups:

R1: Arceus/Duraludon/Umbreon, WW.

I was a little nervous going into this matchup since I haven't played it as much, but once we started playing it out, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Starmie V was the MVP of the set, being able to swing for 300 damage with Energy Spiral every time they use Arceus VSAR's Trinity Nova or Arceus V's Trinity Charge to accelerate energy onto the field. During game 1, they mistakenly chose to Boss up my Lumineon V instead of Starmie V to ko it early in the game. I guess they just didn't know that Starmie V's attack count Double Turbo energy as 2 energy instead as 1 energy card. Chien Pao and Palkia were able to take kos throughout the rest of the game for an easy 2-0 victory.

R2: Lost Box Giratina, LL.

During game one, I mistakenly put Palkia V as my starting Pokemon instead of Starmie V, making Palkia stuck in the active for a few turns and making me fall way behind in the matchup, so I quickly scooped it up and went to game 2 after a couple of turns. Game 2 was A LOT better for me, as I ended up having 2 prizes left to their 5. However, once they were able to power up Giratina VSTAR, I just couldn't find the energy to attack into it to keep up with the quickening tempo, so I lost.

Final Round: Urshifu/Inteleon, WW

Game one was a little scary, because after I had a tremendous start they had a 4 prize turn and evened up the prize race. I was able to pull it out the win with double switch into Boss to get the energy I needed with Chien Pao, and then to ko Lumineon V for my last prize. Game 2 was a bit of a wash. My opponent couldn't get anything going, so it was only a matter of time before I would win.

Final score: 2-1, 3rd/8

Final thoughts

I'm really happy with my list. The only thing I'd really change is cutting Skwovet and Roxanne for 2 Iono, and maybe cut Pal Pad for either a second Boss's Orders or a Lost Vacuum. I had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to play in more Challenges and Cups this season!

Hunting for Gems

episode 4

ash island x reader

prev | next

When Ash Island is forced to participate as a producer for the latest season of Show Me the Money, he knows it won't be easy. But when his partner is you, a rising producer from H1GHR, maybe it won't be as bad as he thought.

Show Me the Money X Episode 4 - Round 3: 1 on 1 Battles

And the 1:1 Battles continue! Two contestants rap on the same beat, and the producers vote on which was their favorite. The winner takes all the fight money, while the loser is eliminated.

Rappers called up at random to challenge someone to a 1:1. Next up is Pay-One.

"I would like to challenge Lee Gunho," Pay-One says with a smirk.

Lee Gunho quietly walks onstage with his head lowered.

"Is there a reason you chose him?" the MC asks.

"I just feel like I could beat him pretty easily." Murmurs start throughout the crowd at hearing such bold words.

Caylo, one of the rappers expected to win the whole show, leans over to his friend to discuss. "Gunho's not bad though?"

"Is he? I don't remember him from last round," his friend whispers back.

Caylo frowns, "I thought he was pretty good..."

Who do you think will win between the two of them?

Caylo: I stood next to Lee Gunho during the first round. I was really impressed when I heard him rap, he's really good. I thought he did well during the second round as well.

Do you not think Pay-One is good?

Caylo: ...

Caylo: Let's just say his rapping is of the same quality as his personality.

-----

Once you see Pay-One vs. Lee Gunho listed as one of the matchups, you let out a noise of distaste.

"What's up?" Ash asks, trying to read over your shoulder. "Oh, those two got put together? Interesting combo. At least that means an easy win for your kid right?" he speculates.

"Yeah, but that means he has to spend time and interact with that d-bag. He deserves better company than that," you say with a frown.

Ash lets out a laugh, never hearing you speak about someone that way before. "I know he's not the greatest, but what'd that guy ever do to you?"

"He's just so... gross," you say for lack of a better word. "My group was near his in the first round and all his lyrics were just about his big dick and fat ego." At that, Ash's nose wrinkles in disgust.

"Plus he kept making creepy comments about having such a 'cute young girl' on the show every time I walked by," you add, shuddering at the memory.

Ash's expression hardens. "He said what?"

"It's fine, Gunho's gonna knock him out anyway. It's not a big deal," you try to brush it off.

It obviously doesn't work as Ash remains tense for the rest of the round until Pay-One and Gunho are called to the stage.

-----

Round 3: 1 on 1 Battles

As Pay-One and Gunho enter the stage, Ash Island and Saf are rather quiet, with Ash sporting a stony expression.

Even as the other producers ask the boys questions, Ash and Saf never say a word. Pay-One tries to earn cred with Ash by mentioning how he was judged by TheQuiett last season.

Ash's only response is "DJ, play the music," and so the round begins.

As expected, Gunho blows Pay-One out of the water. To Ash, it's almost laughable how bad Pay-One is. Despite his disrespectful and distracting behavior during his competitor's parts, Gunho still manages to tear it up on the beat.

Saf finally breaks her silence to give her praise to Gunho. Her long list of compliments for him as well as her confession to liking him since the last round cause his ears to turn red in embarrassment.

"And what'd you think of me, babe?" Pay-One asks with a wink.

Not even sparing him a glance, Saf turns to Ash. "We'll announce the results now!" he states.

Without even pausing for dramatic effect, he says, "Pay-One, you will not be moving on to the next round. Bummer."

As the boys are leaving, you and Ash do a subtle fist-bump, Ash with a smirk on his face.

He calls back out to Gunho, and the boy stops. "Great job today."

Gunho turns around to him with a big smile on his face, "Thank you!"

Saf waves at him enthusiastically. "See you in the next round!"

sooo.. hi. idk if you all are gonna be able to see this, but i think my blog got shadowbanned. i can't interact with anyone, i can't see my dms and i can't reply to posts. my posts are also not visible in searches. i don't know why this happened, i guess it's just tumblr being tumblr. i already asked tumblr support to fix it, so i hope everything will work out soon. i don't have any other accs that i can post to right now, because i think my oc sideblog is shadowbanned too. so if this doesn't get fixed in a few days or a week, i think i'm gonna make a temporary acc. if this gets fixed today or tomorrow, that's great! but i won't post anything for now because i mean, what's the point? people are not gonna be able to see it.

so yes, i'm writing this post just to let you guys know. i'm gonna use this time to work on requests (both writing and matchups). i love you all! <3

A (not so) simple wish

Konichiwa, this is Tsun, I lost 50/50.... However, even when I lost the fight, I won the war! I got Kazuha! Yayyy, I am so happy that my project seems to be trival (I haven't start on the 3 project that I supposed to do... hehe). I will be back with more matchup after I am done with this project.. I am freaking lucky that the website is paid and my lecturer just gonna pay, one more day extension... Kazuha is my lucky star T_T

Sorry if the story is strange, I am running on my last brain cell that can no longer think

Kazuha x y/n

Today, as I have been told, I came here directly at 6pm waiting for him... Will he come or will he...

NO! I must stay positive and pretend that I am not nervous and excited, it might chase him away! My belief is that the more you show out that you want something, the more you will chase them away...

"I only have this few..." I sighed as I glance into my bag, it might be enough, but I am currently on 50/50 meaning that someone else other than Kazuha might come instead.

"Please...!" kneeling down on the center of the circle, I interwind my hands and bowed...begging as I glanced up towards the sky "..please! Let me have gold shooting star! I worked hard for this, please let me have him!"

At this moment, I wouldn't be embarrassed even if someone pointed and call me crazy, this is a necessary ritual to summon whatever I want. It works about 35% of the time, more than 0.6% guarantee.

"I will take care of Kazuha and make sure he have enough love and care!" I felt my cheeks redden as I continued my promise "He will be my most important husbando that will not have his status threaten!"

As I glance at my fates I am left, I felt that it is worth spending everything if I could get him, he needs to be loved and only by my side that I will be sure that he gets enough. Those hard earned fates of mine that I dare not use will be used for greater good, I might be sad to part with them but it is my only way to hope that he will be able to reach out and come over to my side.

I slowly disperse the fates I have into the air as my heart beat faster and faster...

I...really need him by my side! Please let him be freed!

Suddenly the blue sky darkened and feel like someone is forcing me to have difficulty breathing...

Blue...purple...gol- ah.... Why...!

"D-don't worry... It is just that I am getting tested on my sincerity, one more time..!"

I grab a handful of fates and once again disperse them into the air...

"I-I have everything prepared for him, he have the best weapon and artifacts...!" I whispered out, as I feel that they will know that I am not casually pulling for fun

B-blu.... p...purple... come on....! ...Gold!! I got it, please let Kazuha free from the painful cycle!

"Blue..no...blue..." I quickly rush pass all the fated items that my fates bestowed to me, they are simple not what I am wishing for "Rosaria? Ahh, nice to meet you bu-"

As I managed to meet Rosaria that is dusting off all the purple dust that is stuck on her, I greeted her and run off to meet my destined fate

"It is there...! Kazu- oh... it is Qiqi..." I gave a soft sigh as I reach her "hi, Qiqi.. Have you seen K-Kazuha...?"

"Kazu...ha?" Qiqi places her index finger on her lips, thinking for awhile before she replies "...Wakaranai..." (Something that Jap Qiqi always says)

I started to feel slightly discouraged as it is hard to get destined fate again... But I must not be brought down by this, I still have more chances...!

I silently pull the last batch of fates I have as I stopped talking because this is my last chance

...blue...purple...

I slowly close my eyes as soon as I saw purple trail across the sky... I refused to see the result of this last chance I have... I am never lucky...

"Ka...Kazuha..." I called out as I slowly feel afraid... What if I really is unlucky this time...? I will never want to open my eyes, it might be better to fall into a dream instead

"...Sorry to disturb..." A voice suddenly reached my ears as I felt my shoulder getting tapped on. "Mind if I ask you some questions...?"

Please don't disturb me... Kazuha might not appear, I do not want to face my sad reality... But.. that voice sounded awful like him, maybe I will entertain him for awhile...

I slowly open my eyes and turned to face the speaker

"Ka-"

I cover my mouth as my eyes widen... Isn't this...?!

"I am Kaedehara Kazuha, a wandere who roams the land... You are.."

"I-I am a traveler too..." I tried to sound normal as my voice crack and I am about to cry, hug, kiss and scream... Kazuha came...!

"Then... Since we are both travelers, let us journey together for a time..."

T-T-This... I can't believe it...! He actually came to me! My real fated person! ... Erm.. cough... B-be calm, me..!

"Sure... I too wish to journey with you... I will be in your care"

And I will take care of you even more, so much that you will not want to leave me

May we roam together forever

Hey babe! So I match you up with....

 Ｉｎｕｍａｋｉ Ｔｏｇｅ

Look at this pretty boy like ughhh youre so lucky 😭

Inumaki is incredibly loyal-he wouldn’t ever ever give you a reason not to trust him

Also, don’t let his quietness fool you-he is a total trickster/prankster and will always be doing something silly to get you to laugh

He really likes training with you-to him it’s quite therapeutic and a great way to bond with you

But he’s cheeky at times if your doing close combat-he’ll just quickly plant a kiss on your cheeks to get you distracted so he can pin you down 💀

He thinks it’s amazing you’re so skilled in so many sports-it takes a lot to train, and he respects it a lot!

The one he really wanted you to teach him was rollerskating-one day he’d just walk into your room, hand holding a pair of new skates and just plainly saying “Tuna?”

Tuna meaning Please teach me, I know you’re busy but I’m bored and I just wanna have some fun please please please 🥺

He caught on to it really quickly, and in no time you two were blasting music and making trips to the grocery store for some sweets as quick little dates

Inumaki at one point tried to teach Panda and Maki, but Panda was totally decked out in headgear and shoulder pads and still ate shit every 2 seconds 💀

When he first met you, he honestly wasn’t really that intimidated

He still got that nervous rush of meeting someone new, but he was used to meeting intimidating girls-Nobara and Maki being perfect examples of that

Maki was so relieved to have another girl, and you two hit it off amazingly-you two would always be paired together cause you work great off each other as partners and as friends

Panda is just so lovingly protective for you, like if you feel uncomfy in public at times or just feel awkward in general, he’s right there to just give some support 🖤

He just approached you like he would with them, just a quick nod of his head and maybe a reply like “Bonito flakes” to be respectful

He is really intrigued by you-he’s naturally curious, how could he not when he has someone new and pretty in front of him~

But he gave you space, not wanting to intrude or make you uncomfy

But once you begin to open up, OH MY GOD he is so happy!

You get along well with his friends, it’s almost hard to imagine you not being in there friend group at one point-

Whenever something makes you smile, he starts noticing it makes him feel all fluttery inside,,,

Or when he is able to make you chuckle, he finds himself smiling but so grateful he’s able to hide his cheeks with his clothing-

He isn’t oblivious, he obviously knows he caught feelings but he’s super scared to say anything

Cause-how could he even tell you? It’s not like he could just walk up to you and say “Let’s go on a date-“

You could say no and reject him....or even worse, he could make a terrible choice of words and force you on a date by accident with his cursed technique

The 2nd option was too terrifying to him, so he opted to text you a picture of him holding a sign that says “Date?” like a prom proposal, his lilac eyes unable to look at the screen

He definitely begged Panda to take it, cause the picture was pretty fuzzy and theres a furry finger on a corner of the photo

But you thankfully said yes, and Inumaki took you to a roller skating rink, thinking you’d feel comfortable there to hang out. Which was a great plan, until Toge realized he didn’t know how to rollerskate

Panic ensues

The whole time he was desperately trying to repeat to himself “Don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t fall-“ and still look cool at the same time 💀

It was still cute though, and after you helping him out a bit he caught on very quickly

Still did fall a few times, but when you would giggle and help him up he felt a lot better about it 🥺

Needless to say, was probably the main reason he asked you later on to teach him how to skate properly 💀

And also the main reason your guys’ second date was at a very flat forest with little shrines and fish ponds to look into

Inumaki reallllyyyy craves physical touch, but he never forces it upon you

At the beginning of your relationship, it was really delicate touches, from intertwining pinkies to resting his head on your shoulder

But then it slowly became more and more as you two got more comfortable

This dude will just full on run behind you and wrap his arms around you if hes tired

Or snatch your hand and squeeze it tightly if hes afraid you might be in danger

Does this really cute thing where he puts his forehead on yours and stays there for a sec- dont ask him why he does it, he’ll start blushing but he just likes feeling close to you like that  🥺

Drabble:

“Toge, what are you doing-and when did you get those?” you questioned, your eyes scrunched up in confusion as you eyed the white haired boy in front of you.

Inumaki was standing in your doorway, his jacket zipped up fully so only his violet eyes were visible. In his hands were a pair of roller skates, the wheels a clear plastic while the shoes being a periwinkle blue. 

All he did was simply walked into your room, knowing it like the back of hand from countless visits as he picked up your skates that had been left on the floor from the day before. He simply held out both pairs, one simple word of “Tuna” presented out of his mouth.

Your eyebrows furrowed even more, head tilting slightly as you shifted on your bed.

What the hell did he want you to....

“Do you want me....to teach you how to roller skate?”

You saw him instantly light up, obviously ecstatic you had understood him so quickly. He simply nodded his head once as confirmation, violet eyes wide with relief and anticipation.

Inumaki had been bristling to get back in those skates after he had done such a disastrous attempt at your first date. Everytime he thought about how much he had fallen he always internally cringed, almost able to still feel the bruises on his rear that lasted days after.

You had looked so graceful and so happy that day, like you were gliding on top of water as you did laps around the rink or simply to just pick him off the ground after he had eaten shit. He wanted to be able to do that with you, to be able to have picnic dates at the park or just glide over to a store to buy some sweets and ice cream-he had so many cute ideas planned it was almost overwhleming.

He just needed to learn how to skate without painting his body in bruises first.

“Oh, Toge, Im so sorry-” he heard you saw, his heart falling slightly at the sound of guilt in your voice, “but I have some assingments I have to finish....maybe we can do it this weekend?”

That happy expression he had had a few moments before faltered slightly, his lips pursed and nose scrunched under his jacket. 

But Inumaki was persistent-he wasnt one to take no for an answer, especially when he knew how to get what he wanted with a few dirty tricks.

Toge took a few steps towards you, his knee landing on top of your bed and making it dip under his weight, wrapping his arms around you in an inescapable hug.

Inumaki was pretty clever, as he knew it was hard for you to resist him when he was being clingy. He simply nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck, white hair tickling your jawline, hands squeezing your sides gently.

You sighed, rolling your eyes slightly with an amused smirk as your propped yourself on your elbows and looked down at your boyfriend, who was clearly milking it to get what he wanted.

“Youre not gonna let go unti l say yes, huh?”

Inumaki picked his head up, violet eyes soft yet mischeivously as he shook his head gently-

This brat wasnt going to let go until you did exactly what he wanted. 

You sighed exaperatedly, looking up at the ceiling as you felt Inumaki chuckle against your stomach.

“Fine then...” you gave in, finding it adorable how quickly his face light up.

“-But you have to buy me snacks and be my study partner for the rest of the night.”

Toge instantly smiled, the crinkles of the expression showing around his eyes. Getting you to teach him how to roller skate, and have a study date right after? This day was getting better and better for him.

“Salmon!” he agreed quickly, shuffling off of your form and handing you your skates- you were going to make him a pro after today, and he was more than ready.

I hoped you liked these, and thank you for requesting!! <3
