Why are you (and others) so convinced that Neil Gaiman must be lying when he implies that he and Terry Pratchett always intended Azicrow to be canon in the potential second Good Omens book? I'm new to this fandom so don't know the backstory, but Gaiman has been writing gay characters (and nonbinary angels) since the '90s, and Pratchett according to fans is an ally. I've seen a few receipts (about Gaiman not "getting" slash) from the early oughts, but the South Downs cottage endgame comes from a conversation G&P had about the sequel in 2005 (see the story here: https://. thegoodomensdumpster. tumblr.com/ post/621209875504054272/.. where-the-south-downs-thing-comes-from). He seems credible but did he say something since then?

I mean. Even in the excerpt you sent there’s this.

people have asked him about the south downs, and scenes in the book, and any time he's asked he takes the chance to reiterate that it's Not Canon. this has been the line for 30 years. this was the line a month! before the show aired. i think it's true that the planned sequel was aziraphale and crowley focused. this makes sense to me. they were on book covers, they were people's favorites. i dont think this means hes been planning a romance since the 90s. prior to the show, the stances neil gaiman had, had repeatedly on record, and never strayed from were:

+ it's fine if you like azcrow i want you to continue to have fun with it if you like it, but it's not canon, it is strictly 100% fanon.

+ the sequel is about aziraphale and crowley

+ i am not comfortable making a season two because it would involve creating new content that terry would not have input on.

after season one aired, the stances were:

+ i intended azcrow as a love story. i always have.

+ season 2 coming july 2023!

+ the new seasons that i'm writing were something i discussed with terry decades ago.

which is simply. not true. either he spent 30 years lying. because. ??? or he has spent the years after season 1 garnered a lot of praise for having gay people in it lying. because it makes him look good, and because s2 (and 3) will make money. one of these options makes sense. one of them doesnt. like.

this was one MONTH before the show. if he for real always since nineteen ninety meant azcrow was in a relationship. why would he. a month before his show. say DONT get it twisted it's NOT a love life.

i also dont think its worth anything to compare representation in gomens to his other works, bc his other works are very very different. gomens is solidly pg13 lighthearted romp. and - as someone who has read a lot of neil gaiman's work, and liked a lot of neil gaiman's work, most of it errs to the side of i'm SICK. i'm TWISTED. im FUCKED UP and WEIRD. and. to be clear. i am not calling him homophobic. i am not doubting that he legitimately cares about gay people in his life. but i do think. he like many other men. were like. you know what'll take this fucked up weird story from a 10 to a 100. if there were GAY MEN in it. and to be doubly clear. i am speaking primarily about american gods, which is what i remember with most clarity. which is fine. its a fine thing to do. representation win the guy who writes weird horror adjacent sex scenes wrote one about men. (this is a gross oversimplification of sex scenes in american gods).

and again i well and truly do not blame the man for being like. um. actually i dont want the characters i based on me and my buddy to be in love or have sex in my lighthearted pg 13 story. i think this is a very normal stance to have! i would never fault someone for this stance! it's just. the lying. the people who are ragging on him are primarily composed, from what i can tell, of book fans who followed him pre show. because he was exceedingly consistent about his opinions pre show. again. if you followed him at any point! before the show you would see his opinions iterated then reiterated. if you followed him a MONTH! 30 DAYS! before the show you would see his pre show opinions. because he's expressed the exact same opinion dozens of times since 1990. and they quite literally only changed once it came out and people started praising him.

ik i’m not that stage btch but i’m going to pretend i am for a second and do this thread of questions lmao

1. so far, which stage play is your favourite and why??

mine is bb vs dh actually lol!!!!! ofc canon’s btch prefers the more canon stages lol but i also really love how they handled dh’s emotional beats

like!!!!! the rosho vs ichiro as produced by sasara is top tier stage moments!!!!! sasara revealing that rei was on his team and the disbelief on ichiro’s face???? and the way ichiro hit him with that yung thug look when sasara started pry???? sasara being that asshole and setting up the entire fight, cheering on rosho like his personal cheerleader???? rosho demanding (ichiro) to stop look acting like he’s just some side piece/stepping stone to sasara and that’s when ichiro properly looked at rosho, impressed as hell and that’s when their true battle started???? except sasara, the orchestrator may i remind you, could see both rosho and ichiro genuinely getting into it for the thrill of a good battle so he put a stop to it???? AND ROSHO FINALLY CALLING SASARA OUT ON HIS BULLSHIT????? AND SASARA TRIED TO APOLOGISE BUT ROSHO WASNT HAVING IT AND STORMED OFF????? AND SASARA LOOKING AT HIS FAN WHERE THE CHARACTER FOR LAUGH IS WRITTEN ON IT TO REMIND HIMSELF TO SMILE THRU IT ALL BUT HE GENUINELY CANT AND EXITS STAGE LEFT TEARFULLY ohhhhhh i’ve already written an essay and it’s only the first question let me stop lol

2. who's your favourite actor in the first generation cast? (including actors who were recast before graduation) does your favourite actor play your favourite character, or are they different?

i feel like fav actor implies i cared/knew of any of these actors before hypstage which would be very false lmao. but akira-san was a real one and fck nelke for taking his ichiro away from us, ayukawa-san was so adorable and friendly and it made his jakurai genuinely adorkable and fck nelke for making him cry, and hirono-san i will not shut up about if you get me started and fck nelke genuinely 😌

3. which stage original division is your favourite? who is your favourite original division character?

uhhh i think it’s a toss up between north bastard and d4. i love kazu so much y’all don’t even know lmao he’s ichiro’s very own unami; childhood friend who loves him very dearly (*grips heart* i…..icchan….) but has a complicated family situation that drives him to do bad things and he does his best to make sure ichiro stays out of his way bc he doesn’t want to hurt him by doing said bad things but ichiro is stronger than that stronger than him and it makes kazu want to step up so he can stand on the same stage as ichiro again AUUUUUUUUUUUGH KAZUUUUUUU—

and d4 being written as characters from the worst sides of tdd is so ingenious bro wtf 😭😭😭😭 ibuki’s drive for revenge for his older brother vs the side of him that’s just a really nice guy???? arima’s unmatched violence and the way they portrayed it as a weapon with focus???? jyobu being so into ill doc the assassin and therefore never letting sensei forget his roots???? rindo being the og chuuoku spy and therefore ramuda’s discarded predecessor???? bruh 😭😭😭😭😭😭

4. did you watch any of the 1st gen cast seiyuu x haiyuu division leader cross talks? which was your favourite?

i watched all of them and went out of my way to record the hayama✖️hirono one bc i’m very not normal about it lmao

5. did you watch any of the new cast seiyuu x haiyuu division cross talks? which was the best for you?

i watched all of them and i watch the bat one what feels like every other week lmao. i also watch the mtc one religiously lmao

6. which rep lives did you watch? which one was your favourite, and what performances or moments did you enjoy from them?

this is completely my fault but i watched all the rep lives except dh’s SFHDASGJKDAAGHJFS gomen 😭😭😭😭😭 my favourite ones were bb for its short story, bat for the performances and mtr for all around best lol. everyone’s best songs came out from the rep lives tho i hope y’all know lol

i remember loading up the mtr stream and i could tell even from being behind the screen the energy in that venue was kinda crazy and the actors were all feeding off of it which gave us some really fantastic performances lol. also 😭😭😭😭 dohifu playing around with jakurai in an adlib scene where ayukawa thru sensei confessed it’d been a very long time since someone goofed off with him like that and he could barely get the sentence out bc he was trying to not laugh and stay in character uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…………

it’s so hard talking about hirono kuukou without feeling like i’ll explode the moment i start lol but his energy levels reaching a frenzied peak where he shouted NAGOYAAAAAAAAAAA until he blacked out mid song kinda leaves an impression on you and how much he loved the role lol

that bb story was so funny lmao hey siri play ‘can’t keep it cool’ by takano akira for how badly ichiro panicked at the thought saburo got a girlfriend and how he roped jiro into pretending he’s the princess of aoyama so he could practice leaving a good impression on her (even tho saburo DID NOT get a girlfriend and quite literally broke down into tears bc his brothers are stupid and it overstimulated tf out of him lol)

7. favourite song and character from track.1:

KAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and my fav song is actually buster bros vs mad trigger crew vs north bastard lol. idk like, that first stage was incredible for a lot of reasons and one of those was showing how masterful the stage is juggling storylines and character beats, depicting the rap battles and all to some banger music

8. favourite song and character from track.2:

*jinpanchi voice* JINPACHI lol he’s my lightning meow meow 🥺🥺🥺 and my fav songs were blast wolf and asakusa bounce!!!!! i attempted to learn blender for the first time after watching ayukawa jakurai dance in that song, i wanted to immortalise that choreographed lean that happens in the song it’s so hhhrrghffgggnnffrff

🎶SEISEI DOUDOU MAKKOU SHOUBU ASAKUSA ONIGAWARA BOMBERSSSSS🎶

SEIYA🙌SOIYA 🙌ASAKUSA 🙌SEIYA 🙌SOIYA 🙌ASAKUSA 🙌ONI 🙌GAWA🙌 RA 🙌HAH!!!!!!!!

EVERY TIME THAT SONG ROLLS UP ON THE PLAYLIST ITS FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

9.favourite song and character from track.3:

i like danjo lol i think he’s horrible and funny!!!! his song i think also stands out to me in that play as well

10.favourite song and performance (and character i guess lol) from track.4:

i uh, don’t really remember any songs in track 4 and i also hate track 4’s main theme *wheeze* i like ramuda in track 4 tho!!! like that is a mean ramuda lol and i always respect someone who tries to make everyone as miserable as they are when provoked lol shout out to jakurai being the actual villain in that play

OH YEAH and who can forget come back to me!!!!! troy bolton wishes he had the power samatoki does in his longing for nemu song lmao

AND WAIT THE PLAY IS COMING BACK TO ME NOW LOL THE SEXY JUTO SONG FT RIO THAT WAS SUCH A BANGER BRO

11.favourite song and character from track.5:

fav character is probably rindo??? or maybe jyobu???? arima deciding gun violence solves everything is so funny tho but ibuki’s ichiro foil-ness is really peak i—

as for songs, uhhhhhhhh all of the themes???? king of kings is peak jailbreak rock like bruh and shout out to the revolution still gives me chills track 5 bro 😩🤌 immaculate work

12.favourite song, performance and moments from DH vs BB:

pls refer to the first question for my answer lmao but i can also add i really liked the reirosho talk date number. i’ve always liked that scene in canon, where rei opens up a little bit to rosho and they both are vulnerable towards each other and getting it in song and dance form with a hell of a lot of jazz was sick lol

13.favourite song, performance and moments from BAT VS M:

i don’t revisit this play much lol but i love the scene where jyushi gets separated from kuukou after they raid fragrance and jyushi has his very own shinjuku meltdown LOL. i also really liked kuukou seeing the error of his ways and in order to fix them, he decides to act like the villain he very well could be lol but jyushi the goober wrecks that vibe and hits him with the funniest kuukou impersonation LOL

14.favourite song, performance and moments from FP vs MTC:

BIZZARE DINNER FT DICE BIZARRE DINNER BI BI BIZARRE DINNER 🎶 FINALLY THE RIODICE CRUMBS THE ACTORS HAD BEEN SEEDING OUT THEMSELVES CAME THRU LOL

15.have you seen New Encounter yet? what did you think of it? who is your favourite new cast member? do they play your favourite character or someone else? what new song do you like most?

i liked new encounter!!!! i haven’t rewatched it since my first few initial watch thrus tho so i can’t remember the music all that well save for the OI OI OI parts in bat’s song and the way nakanishi-san gave it his all to fill the hole hirono kuukou left behind is commendable!!!! but the mtc actors kinda stole the show lol that samajuto cigarette kiss??? the way uehara samatoki beckoned juto over with a grunt and the tilt of his head so he could light em up???? samariou bonding in a different way from canon but hits even harder????

ik it was everyone’s first stage back and it kinda showed but there were plenty of moments that made you think ‘oh they still got it actually’ lol

16.are you going to watch grateful cypher? what do you hope to see from it?

YEAH and i’m most curious about kuukou’s writing as y’know, your local kuukou enthusiast and stalker lol. seven divisions is a lot tho, so i hope there’s focus!!! they know who they want to challenge and they pull thru on it while still feeling like there is enough pie for everyone lol

17.favourite actor, song and character from Renegades of Female:

ALL OF THEM ARE QUEENS and i’m fond of the oriwomen!!!! like i can’t really say i liked the music lol??? i did but i also didn’t lol they were bops but they sang so much but the songs were catchy god why did they sing tho the callbacks tho in nemu’s songs were so powerful otome’s could rally soldiers honobono like yaaaaaasssssss the singing tho—

18.what made you a fan of hypstage? have you ever attended a show in person (or plan to) or watched a live stream?

i’m pretty sure i’ve watched at least one stream for each show except track 5 (i was off the grid) and dh rep live (IM SORRY) i don’t plan to go to jp to watch one either, unless these new gen actors somehow blow my mind in ways the legends era never did. but that’s a tall order bc the legends era defined so much of the characters despite not being canon. it was fun seeing the way the stage grew and how the actors grew into the characters and how it kept evolving until that era’s end

2019 hypmic’s clowned on the stage upon initial announcement bc what story could they possibly tell. well lmao!!!!! track 1 set the story straight and that’s when i knew the stage had magic 😭😭😭😭

19.do you own or collect any hypstage merch? what's your favourite? what confuses you to this day? what's your holy grail item?

not really lol. i own all the dvds in season 1 and track 5 but none of season 2 (which is tragic bc i enjoyed season 2 far more 😭😭😭). i did splurge a little after bop2023 bc i believe in retail therapy lol and i care about them so much 🥺🥺🥺

does hypstage have freaky merch??? or is this bait to talk about the hypstage plastic wrap WHICH IS INGENIOUS BTW

20.have you followed any past or current actors from hypstage and seen their other work? what did you think?

i follow hirono-san wherever i can lol he’ll always be a kuukou and therefore i’ll support him 😌 i also poke around the nmcd actors works and maybe bc he’s such good friends with hirono-san, i often see fukuzawa yuu in my media too lol (he dropped a killer ep recently by the way outside of his usual group y’all should check it out)

(and watch nanashi while you’re at it it’s peak fiction lol)

21.what are your thoughts about the new original division, WESTEND-MAFIA (hachioji division)?

sick designs!!!!! as much as i hate seeing the echoes of the old oridivis lol!!!! i’m excited to see what they cook since they haven’t missed with these oridivis yet lol

22.are there any characters you wish interacted with each other more in the stage plays (or even between the stage and main canons)?

pls go back to my kazu answer from question 3 and tell me that’s not just kuukou rebranded for the stage lol. a best friend who left but suddenly reappeared??? will do anything for family??? admires ichiro’s strength and wants to stand with him on stage again??? snake imagery???? had a really fcking gay duet with ichiro????? i’m so sick they never got to interact together like yeah i get it hypmic is the samatoki ichiro show so everything’s gotta lead back to their dynamic hence why we were getting another stage with north bastard and mtc (and fp lol) but north bastards’s initials are nb and their unifying symbol were green bandanas and green is red’s complimentary colour IT WAS SO OBVIOUS NORTH BASTARD STOLE NAUGHTY BUSTERS FLOW BRO AT LEAST LET KUUKOU AND KAZU HANG OUT LOL

i’m also really sad jakurai and jinpachi never saw each other after their fall out 😕

23.is there an event in the main canon (that is, the audio drama tracks) you hope they cover in the stage plays that hasn't been depicted yet?

i wonder lol!!!! i would have loved a leaders play to balance out having a tdd play in the legends era and ig i can still ride with one now!!!! but where canon’s at with its story makes me grateful the stage rebooted bc i personally couldn’t have seen how the stage would have adapted post 2nd drb stuff with its notable lack of women and the division beef resolving itself

maybe we can get the honobono hifumi doppo dynamic in stage tho!!!! get a proper nemu and samatoki duet!!!! lol do me a solid and have samatoki and ichijiku fight over nemu we got possibilities now with proper women

24.or do you prefer when the stages have their own, separate storylines and canon? if so, what kind of story do you want to see one day?

that’s a great question lol and one i don’t think i have an answer for. like the stage thrives in a state of non-canonicity but it drives me insane that there’s a subsection of hypmic fans who look at stage kuukou and don’t see how self-immolating he can be for others and have no reason to suspect he is. he’s the coolest and most shallow version of kuukou but that’s their canon and i genuinely hate it lmao

i’m a little partial to these quasi canon stories tho!!!! like i don’t think we would have ever seen nemu rise to her current rank without the stage so it’s neat to see the stage get utilised in that way. i’m personally interested in worldbuilding details no one else would be unless they were balls deep with no plans to pull out lol so the stage can keep surprising me there

<<< FREE SPACE TO TALK ABOUT WHATEVER HYPSTAGE OR HYPSTAGE-RELATED THING YOU WANT I WILL LISTEN, NOD IN SAGE AGREEMENT, AND HIT THE LIKE ON YOUR REPLY NO MATTER WHAT >>>

I AM SO MAD WE NEVER GOT ANOTHER FULL ALBUM FOR THE LEGENDS ERA THE SECOND SEASON OF MUSIC WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN SEASON ONE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM IS TO RIP THEM OFF THE CDS THAT COME WITH A BLU-RAY OR RECORDING THEM FROM THE PERFORMANCE ITSELF LIKE KUUKOUS SOLO AFAIK WAS NOT ON ANY CD SO YOUD HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE LIVE VERSION AND ITS SAD WE DONT GET ALL THOSE SONGS STUDIO VERSIONS ON ONE MEGA ALBUM I HATE NELKE SO MUCH WHERES MY EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO STREAM OSAKA BILLION DREAMS GODDAMMIT

25.who has the coolest mic onstage? silliest? most lethal?

i like that asakusa’s mics were all based on oni lore lol like jinpachi had an oni’s spiky club, doshiro had an oni axe and masamune fits in the silliest with a sake cup mic since oni are also known to love drinking lol

i also think kokuri’s drill mic was also silly lol and it’s so funny nobody knows why he has it

and most lethal??? gotta be arima’s gun right lol????

#this is vee speaking #here take this from me and remember me as the girl who thinks there’s a different universe where ikebukuro division would have been nb #naughty busters feat ichiro kuukou and kazu and jiro and saburo would have been whisked away by rei when he came calling #bc their bond as brothers was hurt when ichiro chose kazu and kuukou and not them #and ikebukuro division is still a team grappling with their familial bonds since kuukou knows he has a father to eventually return to #and kazu is doing dirty work to help his father but all three are trying to be better people for their family—#(and kuukou is lowkey the 3gumi in this dynamic despite being 2gumi but shhhhhh)

hello it is i i come to clog ur inbox again hope its no issue... THANK U FOR TELLIN ME ABOUT HANIWA IT WASN'T LENGHTY AT ALL it actually left me wanting to know more !!! could u tell me about the idol series......

HIII WELCOME BACK !! im always happy to talk abt haniwa i vibrate ever time i talk abt it yahay!! LETS GET DOWN TO IT THEN !!

the idol series is a branch of honeyworks' confession executive committee, which as opposed to the large majority of their songs that centered on familiar shoujo manga struggles such as love, crushes, terminal illness, talking flowers, and of course, what happens when your crush moves to USA bc he was too stupid to confess — ANYWAY. idol series deals with the struggles and sufferings of idols in the entertainment industry, as well as the relationships they form in and out of their jobs !

idol series primarily centers on lipxlip ! which if you have ever seen me or spoke to me you must be fully aware im not very normal about them and just Talking abt them is one whole post itself so lets just jump over that. pyon~~!

lipxlip are the introductory characters into idol series, with one of its members, aizo, having a branch in the love series through his brother, ken. this shows that both serie are inherently connected and are simply separated by heteronormativity super silly things!

idol series also includes hiyori, lipxlip's manager and classmate who has since earned her own spot as a main character in love series with her own love story with shiranami nagisa — as well as other idols !!

mona is an angel-themed idol who is also the sister of sena narumi, a love series character and partner of midori takamine AND an in-universe media personality !

minami started as a collaboration character with y!mobile where he was introduced as the love interest of nakuru in bae love, and they have since canonized their relationship in ren'ai thru kareshi no shikaku !

another pair of idols are asuka kaido and kanata ichigoya, otherwise known as ASCANA! theyre part of the virtual johnny's project and asuka was a temporary potential love interest for hiyori up until his rejection of her in heroine ikusei keikaku (heroine development plan) . unfortunately, ascana has probably been discontinued bc their seiyuus are part of a much bigger musical group !

last and very expansive idol group (ish) in idol series is full throttle4 ! sometimes abbreviated as ft4, their members go by stage names in english characters. unlike the others, theyre not actually idols ! theyre a music and dance group with their manager as their DJ and leader, IV! rio and yui serve as the vocals while megu and dai are dancers!

note abt ft4 is that their songs tend to deal with heavy subject matter and their theme in itself is much darker than mona's angels or lipxlip's princes, but they have some incredibly interesting stories ^_^

idol series has various other characters from different media and stories: an example is chizuru nakamura or chuutan, the infamous main character of kawaikute gomen and a diehard lipxlip fan ! there's also asuna, mona's rival idol who has done some... cruel things to mona in the watashi idol sengen manga. additionally, various characters voiced by amatsuki often play the role of mona fans, like kobayashi from getsuyoubi no yuutsu! there are more and more but at this point this ask is. Too long already. IM SORRY

i hope this helps!! its 2 am and i needed this out of my system so im answering a bit fast i hope u dont mind 😭

good omens season 2 spoilers ahead and then i'm never posting about this again because this website has ruined my ability to post about my favorite book and i AM bitter about it:

"lmaooo neil gaiman must be so furious they let crowley and aziraphale be gay in gomens2" 🤝 "lmaooo anne rice must be so furious they let louis and lestat be gay in iwtv"

my brother in christ they have been calling those relationships romantic all along you just didn't realize it because you get all your opinions from bad faith readings of out-of-context tweets shared by your mutuals who don't go outside enough to be normal about celebrities

i literally do not ship aziraphale and crowley + i'm lukewarm on the gomens tv show as a whole + i avoid the good omens fandom because i find them incredibly annoying, but jesus fucking christ the only people on this website more annoying than them are the good omens hatedom who are obsessed with dunking on neil gaiman because they saw him say "even if they don't kiss they're still in love, i'm just not going to specifically label them as gay men because i want their genders and sexualities to be open to interpretation" and somehow interpreted it as "i hate gay people and this is literally a destiel 2.0 situation where i'm declaring war on any fans who think these characters are gay but i'm also going to use you for queerbait"

in conclusion i wish you all a very

Sleepless - Act 4

<<< Act 1

<<< Act 2

<<< Act 3

Recommended music: Deixa - Lagum & Ana Gabriela

This time, she didn't walk away when he started kissing her neck, lifting her shirt. The night was peaceful. The cool wind caused the plants to skim each other, emitting that characteristic sound that calmed Skye. She swum her fingers through Yoru's hair, tilting her head backwards, feeling his lips go through her skin.

He kept thinking too much about her words to let them hover with the wind as she was doing. Yoru stopped kissing her, quieting his hands. Skye almost complained, frowning at the interruption of the caresses. She nodded, with an inquisitive stare.

- You want me to talk about the nightmares, nee? - He murmured against her skin, feeling her warmth.

She wanted. Desperately. Damn curiosity that was killing her.

- You don't have to talk if you don't want to... - The words came out weak, because she wanted him to talk even if he wasn't into it.

- You told this big story - Yoru walked away from her, staring at her, raising his eyebrows. - To teach a moral lesson on family support. You think I don't understand an indirect? I'm not as dumb as you think I am.

- It wasn't a moral lesson... - She grumbled, filling her cheeks with air. - I wanted to tell you something about me. - Skye looked away, scratching one eye and sighing afterwards.

He swallowed dry, getting his ears red when he realized what he said.

- Gomen... - He sighed, lowering his head.

- It's all right. - She got it in his lap, taking a deep breath. - You really don't have to...

- I trust you. - Yoru didn't look at her, putting his hands behind her back. - And... And I think... I kind of... Kuso. - He pressed his lips, trying to find the words he needed. - I want you to know. You... After all... - He looked at the silhouettes of the empty mugs, feeling his chest warm and having a vague memory of the taste of hot chocolate on his tongue. - You deserve to know.

Skye thought her heart would jump out of her chest so hard that it hit. She wanted to have recorded those clumsy words, to hear in looping. She got up, pulling Yoru with her. She gave a mischievous smile, pushing him into the hammock carefully enough to not letting him fall.

- Shit, woman! - He wide his eyes, watching the hammock swing side to side. He was frightened. - You want to give me a heart attack?

- Relax, babe. - She lay down on the hammock again, pulling him for herself. She embraced him affectionately, to which he reciprocated by grabbing her as if his life depended on it. - I'm right here. You're not going fall anymore. - She spoke kindly.

Yoru focused on Skye, rather than thinking about how terrified he was in the hammock. He remembered what he had to say, the nightmares and everything. His heart could have triggered in fear, his breath could have been unregulated. However, looking at Skye, his heart remained calm, and his breathing was normal. He felt safe.

- I... - He spoke low, getting right on the hammock. His face stood facing Skye, separated by a few inches. - I've had them since the skills awakened... Usually it was just weird stuff. The ones that just make you feel upset, you know? - Yoru lowered his gaze, watching his fingers. - When I started using the powers... They got worse. I saw my mother losing the baby. Or the baby dying when she was born. Or my father choking... And I'd be stuck in the other dimension with nothing to do. - He squeezed his lips, closing his eyes. Skye touched his face, stroking his cheeks. - I hated going in there back then. I thought everything I dreamed would really happen. - Yoru let go of the air, laughing humorlessly. - Then I'm into the Protocol. - He opened his black eyes, focusing on Skye. - Have you read the reports of the last missions you haven't been to?

Skye wet her lips, denying it with her head.

- Reyna was beheaded in the antepenultimate. Jett's wind got out of her control on the penultimate. She created a hurricane that caused Cypher to hit a wall so hard that his body was crushed. We can’t even recognize him. - Skye felt her mouth dry and her body withered. She rather ignore those aspects of her job, as hard as it was sometimes. She was always busy trying to fix the damage to impress herself with them. - That's the way nightmares are. And I remember them. Especially the worst... - Yoru breathed a miserable sigh, holding Skye's hand. - I never know if they really happened or if it was a dream. I never know if when I get out of bed my friends will be alive.

Skye shook Yoru's hand, feeling tears build up in her own eyes. She had no idea he felt that way. She could count on the fingers of one hand the times Yoru hesitated on a mission. He was always one of the calmest and most rational agents during the chaos, guaranteed excellent results.

- The last one... - He stopped talking for a while, thinking. Skye was stroking her face, ensuring him that she was there. – In the last mission... I came back alone, right? - Skye nodded, trying to smile.

- You stood against five enemies and killed them all. That was a great achievement…

Yoru gave a faint smile, touching Skye's face gently. He wet his lips, speaking slowly.

- The clones had the same composition as us. And better weapons. You know what they did? They managed to disarm the others and gather them in one place. - He closed his eyes again, shaking a little as he remembered the scene. - I saw myself shooting my friends...

Skye opened her lips, looking for something to say. She had to say something after that.

- Oh. - That's what came out. She got pink for just saying that.

- And then I had to hunt them down. One by one... I killed my friends again... Or their clones. I don't know anymore. And then I dragged each of the corpses onto the plane. - He laughed humorlessly, letting out Skye's face and squeezing the bridge of his nose. - You know what Viper told me when I got into the Protocol? She said I shouldn't get attached to the other agents. To be the selfish, a skilled bastard. If I stayed like this, I'd definitely be the best radiant. Shit, what wouldn't I give to not care anymore? - Yoru stopped talking, taking a deep breath.

He sat in the hammock, looking at the balcony ceiling. His eyes were burning a little and he could feel tears filling his eyes. He felt Skye's breath on his neck, reminding him to continue. He scratched his eye, disguising his tears and swallowing the crying.

- I dreamt I'd kill them. And I liked it. And then I realized what I did and... And I had to see everything I had done. - Yoru closed his eyes again, flexing his fingers. - I don't know if it was just a dream... Or if I've done horrible things to the most important people in my life.

He opened his eyes, letting go of the air. Yoru didn't tell everything. He didn't say in the nightmares he'd kill Skye too. And then he had to carry her disfigured body in his arms. His nightmares were a terrible mixture of fantasy and reality. It was horrible to never be sure if his memories were true or false. And he'd wake up every day without knowing it.

The balcony was in silent for a few seconds. Yoru got lost in thoughts, until he felt Skye tremble beside him. He turned his face, watching her. Tears descended through the corners of her eyes, accumulating in her nose.

- Yoo... - He wiped her face with his thumbs, looking worried. The agony of seeing that expression of hers came back and Yoru remembered why he never really wanted to talk about it. - Gomen... I didn't mean to...

Skye kissed him, shut him up. He felt the salty taste of a few tears on her lips, with the water tickling his face. She stopped kissing him, hugging him hard enough to crush his ribs.

- Why didn't you ever tell me? - She spoke low, sinking her face into his chest.

Yoru pressed his lips, supporting his chin on top of her head, thinking about the answer he would give.

- I… You... You already got so many things to worry...

Yoru recalled the times that Skye nearly burst in the middle of combat, feeling unable to heal her allies. She charged and limiting herself too much. She thought she would never be as skilled or strong as Reyna. Or an effective healer like Sage. Sometimes she hide and cry after a mission, for "letting" someone get hurt. In addition, the constant movement of the ward left her very worn out. No wonder she slept like a rock. Skye was living in exhaustion and still managed to be a superhero. She lifted spirits when it was needed to and made everyone want to be like her without even realizing it. Shit, who can work out at five in the morning and still keep a smile on their face? When Yoru found out how much she was hiding about herself, he decided he would support her no matter what happened. He wanted to be like the Robin of her Batman. And being a Robin didn't include putting your own problems in Batman’s shoulders.

- You're not a worry. I mean, I do worry. But it's not a bad worry! - She squeezed him even more, taking the air out of him. - Why don't you let me take care of you? - Skye didn't bother to measure the tone, looking at Yoru with anger and concern. Tears stained her face, leaving her eyes swollen and her cheeks rosy. - Why do you always have to be so stubborn? You don't have to do everything all by yourself! And I'm not a delicate flower! Stop acting like I am! I can take care of you too!

Yoru opened his lips a little, surprised. He expected a lot of things coming from her at that moment. Except for that reaction.

- You've had nightmares since we met and after everything we've been through, you just tell me now? What am I to you? Just your casual fuck? - She pushed him, crying in anger. - I tell you my life, and that's how you give it back to me? Hiding everything from me? I say I want to be a part of your life and I mean it all! It's not just the joys! It's not just the sorrows! How can you not understand that?

Yoru blinked twice, looking her.

- You... You're fighting with me because I... Told you how I feel? - Yoru wasn’t understanding anything.

- No. - She put her hands on her face, shaking her head and sobbing. - No. I'm fighting because I'm too stupid not to notice sooner. I'm fighting because I want to help you, but I keep sleeping instead of being with you. I want to take care of you, but you always end up taking care of me. And I'm so so tired of it. - Skye shrank, trying to control herself. - By heaven' s sake, Tobio, how much pain have you carried alone?

Yoru understood even less what was happening now. Skye spoke so fast that he couldn't understand most of her sentences. He knew that the woman he loved was suffering because of him and that was the last thing he wanted.

- Yoo... - He spoke kindly, holding her hands, lowering them. Yoru watched her pink face, all wet with tears. He could have sworn he felt physical pain seeing her in that state. - It's not your fault. It's just a problem I have and...

- It's not just a problem, and it's not just yours. It's ours. - She spoke irritated, wiping away the tears with her palms. - From now on, it's ours.

- Emily...

- I'm going to wake up with you from now on. You won't be alone at dawn anymore.

- But...

- But nothing! - Skye punched Yoru in the shoulder. It really hurts. - That's for not telling me what was going on. - She sniffed, punching him another. Yoru groaned, shrinking. She forgot how strong she was. - That's for being stubborn! - Her voice was embargoed and Yoru feared that she would have another crying crisis. Skye pull him at herself in the hammock, laying his head on her shoulder. - That's... - She sighed, finally with full control of the tears. She kissed the top of Yoru's head, stroking his hair. - Because I love you and... I want to take care of you.

Electricity passed through Yoru's body with those words. He forgot how important words were too.

- Daisuki da... - She squeezed him a little more, recognizing the words he said from the animes she liked, and he hated. Skye's lips trembled with a smile, giving him another kiss on the head.

There, in Skye's arms, Yoru felt completely safe. Where he could rest. His body was relaxed, and he allowed himself to relax trapped in that embrace. He closed his eyes, feeling lighter. He didn't sleep. He couldn't even if he wanted to. But he enjoyed every move, every breath of Skye, as if it were the greatest gem in the world.

It didn't take her long to sleep again. Yoru noticed her calm and raised his head to look at her. He smiled slightly, watching her sleep peacefully. Her face still was a little swollen by the crying. Yoru came out of the hammock, more afraid of waking her up than falling, and took her in his arms. Skye snug on him, snoring lightly. Yoru thought it was lovely the little snoring she gave while was sleeping. He took her to their room, carefully putting her in the bed. He covered her, landing a tender kiss on her forehead.

- Arigatou Hana-chan… - Yoru muttered, pulling a few strands of her hair out of the front of her face. Her red hair had dried as they chatted, and it had increased the volume. Skye was the most beautiful little lion Yoru has ever seen in his life.

He left the room, deciding to follow his nightly routine of tidying up the house. He took the empty mugs and washed them, drying and saving them. He cleaned the dirty porch of dirt and wet Skye's plants, making a mental note of noting her about it for her don’t drown the poor plants. When he was over, it was not long before the sunrise. Yoru thought about how good it was to receive the hot chocolate and ventured into the kitchen, wanting to retribute what she did for him. He made vegan pancakes following a random recipe he found on Google and made coffee. It was eatable, at least. Yoru decorated the dish with strawberries and bananas and took a beautiful photo of it, making another mental note to post on Instagram later. He took breakfast to their room when the sky began to change in tones, foreshadowing the dawn.

Normally, Skye would already be standing, doing her morning yoga, which Yoru called a "sun salute". As she had spent a relevant part of the night awake, she did not rise following her own routine. She was lying face down on the bed, stretched out. Yoru laughed of her condition, placing the tray with breakfast on the dresser next to the bed. He lay near Skye, watching her face. He walked his fingers lightly down her cheeks, tracing the constellations that her twills formed, evident by the sun rising on the horizon. She was beautiful even when she was asleep. Yoru thought he'd be doomed when he realized he was in love with Skye. Now he knew it was her love that saved him. And he didn't even know he needed to be saved.

…

Skye get unstable when she didn't sleep properly. From the first time she stayed up with Yoru, her mood during the day was like a roller coaster. One minute she dyed laughed with something that Astra said that wasn't necessarily funny or anyone could understand and, in the next moment, she was rude to Omen. And what kind of monster could be rude with Omen? After she realized what she did, she cried, asking for forgiveness and leaving Omen feeling awkward. Yoru decided he'd rather spend the early hours alone than deal with bipolar Skye, so he kind of sabotaged her attempts to stay awake with him.

Most of them were unsuccessful. Skye continued to sleep like a rock every time she put her head on the pillow. Yoru continued to wake up scared of his nightmares and stay up the night. But sometimes, maybe three or four times a month, she'd wake up with him. Sometimes she'd pick him up in the bathroom, like the first time, and sometimes, in the living room, reading a book or watching something on TV. Yoru rather she found him like this. He could make her sleep in his arms in the bathtub or lie down on his lap. He liked to watch her sleep. Emanated a peace that made him inebriated. When she was asleep, he whispered things in her ear that he would never have the courage to say when she was awake.

He liked when she woke up when he was tidying up the house. In those days, Skye muttered a "Good night" with a yawn and began helping him to sweep the floor or dry the dishes. She looked like a zombie maid. So, he'd arrange a quiet task for her to do, like folding their clothes or rearranging the bookshelf. In a few moments, Skye fell asleep and he carried her back to bed, handing out light and comforting kisses across her face.

Even cherishing the regularity of Skye's sleep, Yoru loved when she woke up full of energy with him. Those days they had wild sex, no matter how loud they were. Reyna actually showed up at their apartment once with a knife, ready to commit a double murder. They also sneaked out of the Protocol Base, laughing like teenagers, and went for a walk in the city, discovering several places that only opened after 11PM. One of those days they found that most agents also had sleepless nights. Skye set up a group between them and, when Yoru was not in the mood to spend the early hours alone, he met with whoever was awake and had fun until the sun came up. When the two just wanted to be together, Skye tells him stories about the farm. She loved telling him about her world and he loved to listen.

One night they had sex until they were too exhausted to even open the door, which was being beaten by a furious Reyna and a Breach, armed with baseball bats, ready to put the noisy couple on the axles. That night was one of the best of Yoru's life. He fell asleep with Skye’s arms around him. And he didn't have any nightmares. He just fell asleep. A peaceful sleep that he hadn't experienced in so long that he thought he'd never have the privilege of sleeping without nightmares. He woke up before Skye. And he didn't wake up scared, shaking, or sweating cold. He opened his eyes lazily, feeling calm and relaxed. It took a while to realize that he had actually slept a yummy sleep and not just closed his eyes for a few minutes. When he noticed he'd actually slept, he almost jumped in joy. He wanted to turn to Skye and tell her about it. However, he looked over his shoulder carefully, watching her sleep peacefully as usual. He sighed, knowing in his heart that she was the reason of him not having nightmares that time. He was deeply grateful. And he knew he loved her so much, in a way he didn't even know he could love anyone.

- You're magic. So amazing. I'm so lucky to have you... - He muttered, stroking her arms around him, enjoying every second there.

Skye woke up to his whispers, as she usually woke up when it was close to the time to get up. But she didn't open her eyes. She liked to pretend she was asleep to hear Yoru's love statements. She was hoping he'd never find out about her act.

Nekoma!Manager!Male!Reader

a/n: never written male reader before but this was a funny request and i really do see the irony in this

anon request:

absolutely LOVED your seijoh hcs! you said you wanted to do the other schools so i thought, how about nekoma but with a MALE manager bc it would be so ironic to have a male god as their manager rather than a goddess that they always talked about!! thank youuuuuuu!!!!!!!

yall the nekoma fanchant is literally stuck in my head

hehe uwu lets step on the pedal

ong jesus take the wheel pls

so basically,,,

being the nekoma manager is a MESS

lets say youre a second year and was only the manager bc you were begged into taking the job

like wouldnt leave you alone and pestered you 25/8, screaming about needing their own god manager

also just because, you are fairly popular and you have your own fanclub of girls in nekoma and they thought it would give them more exposure and more chances w girls :’)

tora was actually the first who came up to you and begged you to be their manager during class one day bc they are in need of one but they arent allowed to have a girl manager so he turned to having a handsome male

‘I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS TO BE A BOY’

‘so you wont be all over him abd be distracted w showing off’

‘WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION MY SE-’

‘tora, please’

initially, you refused bc you just couldnt be bothered to be part of a club where you basically babysit a bunch of overgrown children

but kenma, your childhood friend, was the team’s last attempt to get you in since kuroo mentioned that he was the only one you listened to

‘kenma, babie, i love you, but i am your friend, not your nanny. so unless i am paid, i will not waste my time taking care of of all of you. especially that chicken head’

‘y/n, yaku is on his last leg here. we really need a manager and we need it fast’

‘you went for years without one so why do you need it?’

‘we’re scared that nekomata would just drop dead any minute now’

‘yanno? im surprised hes even still alive with yall’

‘....... ill show your fangirls that picture of you when we were 5 when-’

‘okay, kenma. rude about the blackmail but okay. dont expect me to be the maid or anything’

nope, you were actually the maid

and the cook

and the nanny

and the laundry person

the everything

it baffles you that kuroo is about to graduate next year yet he still doesnt know the difference between fabric softener and detergent

the amount of times you sent him to pick up more and only to send him back when he ended up buying 2 softeners or 2 detergents

‘they all look the same!’

‘kuroo tetsuro cAN yOu NoT rEAd?!’

ngl i still mix them up sometimes

during matches, youre basically their mother, their nanny, and nekomata’s notetaker, and their personal cheerleader

naoi, the other coach guy, and coach nekomata has adopted you as a son bc of how hard you work and the less the burden is on them

like your notes about their playing percentages really works and helps them and added with the chores you do for the team?

godsend

also, lets put your popularity in here

you dress with a white shirt and zip up your red nekoma jacket with your red sweatpants so you look like one of the players, right?

but how come every time they have practice, youre the only one with the fangirls in the bleachers?

youre literally wearing the same thing as them yet youre the only one who gets looked at?!

even kuroo, who was quite good looking, doesnt have that many girls pining after him yet you, resident anti-tryhard, seems to get the female population to fall for you just by doing the simplest things like breathing

youd be doing normal things like using your whistle as you hold a clipboard and girls would be screeching at you

‘omg m/n is so hot!’

‘hes just !!!! uuggghhhh’

‘siri how to be a whistle?’

i am uncomfortable with the energy we have created in the gym today

tora complains about it all the time bc first, they cant have a beautiful manager, two, they have a pretty boy who’s taking the attention away

‘SO NOT FAIR! M/N, TURN UGLY!’

you bonk him on the head in anger and threaten to quit all the time

‘say that again and you’ll be filling your own water bottles tomorrow’

but in truth though, the guys really do appreciate you and everything you do

they know that you balance them with your personal life and classes and still make time to do their laundry and make them food

so they have started easing off the burden and weight off of your shoulders

at first, you were very suspicious when they told you that they already filled their water bottles

‘huh? i didnt think you even knew where the water fountain was’

‘wym weve been doing this for years’

-kuroo

then, you heard kuroo tell the others to put their sweaty jerseys in the basket in the corner of the room and for the last person to carry it to the laundromat

‘um, sir, we dont want to have another pink jersey disaster again’

you stopped inuoka from lugging the basket but he shook his head and gave you a wide grin

‘nope, m/n-senpai! i’ll carry it for you! i’m strong, see?’

he flexed his right arm muscle while holding the basket with one hand but it was too heavy so it fell to the ground, spilling out all the practice jerseys

you sighed before bending down to pick them up and babie inuoka’s eyes watered, thinking you were mad at him

‘gomen, senpai’

he whispered but you looked up at him from your position

his watery eyes made you frantically stand up and wipe his tears with the pads of your thumbs

‘inu-kun, why are you crying? you said you were strong right? dont cry over silly things, okay?’

he nodded and you were still confused as to why he was so emotional but you patted his fluffy hair

‘now cmon, lets go take these to the shop’

unbeknownst to you, the team was actually seething from behind the wall

naturally, as a,,, manager,, you became their,,, energy??

like the slightest affections from you made their health bar increase tenfold and they didnt necessarily have any intentions towards you

you were like,,, their own,,,, happy drug?? like a human seratonin??

just the fact that they had someone like you to fall back on and give them love when they lost or something

it was comforting

usually it was just the team’s responsibility to throw away their own sadness and comfort each other

but with you,,,

they could easily cry with no fear and you would comfort them until they didnt need to be comforted anymore

eventually, they ended up straight out competing against each other on who would get the most affection

clearly, inuoka used his first year card and everyone knew you were soft for your kouhais

like you would just grab them and hug them because of how cute they were

uwu especially lev?!

he may be a giant but hes just a really REALLY REALLY BIG CAT

;)

LEV LIVES TO HUG YOU

like the mans is beanstalk level of height and despite the age difference, he just picks you up and cuddles you and youre just like ‘okay, let it out babie’

DKSFJSLD ANYWAYS

you are always a hot topic w all the students in nekoma and even some in other schools

like during training camp, bro you making everyone question their sexuality

omg akaashi and you are probably the prettiest people there and can i just say how everyone cant focus on a practice match bc youd be laughing together or something and they havent heard anything so beautiful??

and the kitties get really defensive over you and hiss at anyone who even tries to approach you

hiss hiss

DKJFSLKDFJDWHAT IF EVERYONE IN THE TEAM IS BI

OMG WHAT

like the little touches from you make them so red and confident gays like kuroo and bokuto call you out on them and tease you

while the quiet ones like akaashi and kenma are just blushing and stutter and you tease them instead?

*inhale* BOI *exhale*

the uke and seme dynamic is real on this one

however, there are times when the turned tables

there was that one day that you were seriously questioning if bokuto wore leggings or just really high knee pads and you cornered him after baths to just figure it out

like our poor confident boi turned to a shy babie and shrunk against the wall, covering his red face

‘y-y/n-kun’

‘bo-san, i just want to know’

DKFSJLKDFJFJSDKIM DYING OVER HERE LIKE PLEASE I DONT OWN Y/N

after seeing the smidge of skin at the top of the kneepad, you nodded and brushed your fingertips over the flesh

‘hmm~ so i was right~’

FROM THEN ON POOR BABIE OWL COULDNT LOOK AT YOU THE SAME!!!!!!

it worried everyone so much when bokuto would glance at you in the sidelines and he would competely miss akaashi’s set bc his eyes would focus on you rather than the ball

like he absolutely couldnt take his eyes off of you and when you do turn to meet his eyes, he shrinks back and looks away, completely missing your amused smirk

now, your kitties werent happy about that

theyre very protective of you and they felt that this owl could snatch you right up and fly away

and kuroo, being the captain and the head of the familia, took it upon himself and dragged you to the back of the gym while the others were practicing

kurat pushed you against the wall and basically kabedonned you

KUROO IS LIKE 6′2 OR 190 CM I CANT

‘you seem close with bokuto, l/n. almost, too,, close’

an amused smirk etched itself on your lips and you pressed a hand on his chest

‘oya~? captain-san, am i being punished?’

SFDKLFSJKLDFJL SIR Y/N IS SUPPOSED TO RADIATE SEME ENERGY BUT HE ISNT AND I CANNOT-

ofc he was taken aback by your flirty attitude but he smirked and softly brushed away your bangs that slightly covered your eyes

‘hmm~~ depends, y/n-kun. are you going to be a good kitty and stay with the clowder? or are you going to stay with those pesky chickens~?’

DKFLSJDKFJSL BRO DID YOU KNOW A GROUP OF CATS IS CALLED A CLOWDER?! I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT BUT I HAVE A FEELING KUROO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT BC HE BIG BRAIN

you chuckled and gently wrapped your arms around his shoulders

but your hand grabbed the hair at the back of his head and harshly pulled him to be closer to you

your eyes blinked innocently but your sharp teeth were shown from your malicious grin

‘ive always been a bad kitty, captain. so i dont care what you say because you cant tell me what to do~’

👀👀👀👀

imagine what happens next bc i cant write something unholy

anyways

so you learned that tetsu CAN in fact tell you what to do and you avoided everyone else which caused them to wonder but one look at your neck

well,,,,,

you got attacked by a cat

a cat named tetsu

SKDFLJSDKFJSLKUROO IS THE ONLY SEME YOU CLASH WITH

THE OTHERS ARE ALL UKE

EVEN BEEFY BUFF CAKE BOI BO

but you toned it down to not be attacked again

ngl the whole team was all jealous and they even whined to kuroo about it

‘thats not fair!!!!’

‘stop abusing your role as captain!!!!’

they hated the fact that kuroo got you first so they all rally over to keep you away from him

like baby kenma would nudge you over and bring him to sit next to you, saying he needs you to help him with a certain level

‘kenny, im not sure how to play this game’

‘hmm,,,, youre a quick learner, y/n, and youre really quick with your fingers so you could pass to the next level’

*insert lenny face*

‘oya? and you would know how, kenny?’

and baby kenny would fluster a little before glomping to your side and burying his face into your shoulder to hide away

the first years would absolutely use their kouhai priviledges and bring you over to help them with ‘homework’

‘you guys realize i passed because kuroo would beat me into studying right?’

‘but senpai! you mustve learned a thing or two in your classes!’

‘bold of you to assume i was even awake in my classes’

but they still make you spend hours trying to help them which turn into just messing around

KSDLFJSDKFJD MOVIE NIGHTS YOU GUYS THATS IT!!

there isnt really a single calm moment in your guys’ practice

poor you have already started seeing lot of gray hairs

you literally decline every single confession just because youre too busy for a date and you cant handle having to take care of another person

its like youre dating the whole team!!

soon the entire school have just accepted the fact that you are just simply not in the market anymore just because you joined the club

not because youre actually taken by a girlfriend but youre taken by a bunch of teenage males

imagine how that works out

anyways

youre not really the best volleyball player out there but you know a thing or two

well,,, its more like your stamina doesnt allow you to play long bc a single lap literally destroys your lungs

but you still know when yaku complains about having a shaky receive

‘oh, momo-senpai, youre bending your knees too low so gravity is pushing down on your-’

ugh chemistry i hate it

despite your lack of athletic or physical skills, they still appreciate you for your keen eyes, your caring nature, and your overall looks that give them motivation to play harder to impress you personality :)

all the boys love you

and tbh

you love your boys too

even though it was a blackmail caused event,

you still would’ve joined otherwise

this is kinda short but its going to be longer if i find some plots or somebody asks for a plotline that i can write about for a long time

anyways

byeeeee :)))))

a/n: this isnt exactly the best manager one ive written but ill probably find a good prompt for this or again as stated ^^ someone sends in an ask for it and ill write a story for our favorite male manager :’D

haikyuu!! headcanons

falling for their new manager

karasuno edition

part 2: hinata, kageyama, yamaguchi, tsukishima

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

warnings: none

pairings: hinata x reader; kageyama x reader; yamaguchi x reader; tsukishima x reader

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

for this thread i will use the same initial situation but there will be an individual route for every character

hinata

i’m really sorry. i have real problems thinking about him in a romantic situation. he is baby.

you were a friend of hitoka and were in the advanced class with her. the graduation of the 3rd years was due and she was worried that she had to manage the whole team alone soon. so she asked you because lucky for her you hadn’t joined any clubs yet.

she brought you by the gym that day and announced you to be manager in training. kiyouko was overjoyed.

the team greeted you and how else could it be, hinata came jumping to you asking millions of questions

‘are you a friend of yachi? do you like volleyball? have you ever played? do you wanna watch me spike some balls? do-’

‘stop, asking so much at once chibi.’ tsukishima came to your rescue

‘what diD YoU cAll ME?’ tsukishima and yamaguchi chuckled at hinata’s reaction.

you bowed

‘my name is y/l/n y/n, i am from class 1-7. i will be in your care.’

‘ohhh. 1-7 that is one of the clever people classes right?’ hinata again

‘well, advanced courses, yes.’

‘woah. are you good in modern japanese?’

‘y/n is at the top of our class in every subject.’ yachi cut in. you impressed the team,really.

‘wow,i am really bad at it. i never got anything over a 13.’

‘i could teach you if you want.’ and he jumped out of happiness as he instantly accepted.

for the next to weeks you would give hinata 2 private tutoring lessons per week and his grades would gradually get better.

‘i got 67! 67!’ they just had gotten their tests back and he came running into the gym where you already waited. he was so overjoyed that he hugged you and you hugged back. as soon as he noticed what was going on he scooted away and excused himself.

his heart beat so fast and his face was really red. suga was really worried when hinata came into the changing room and was bright read

‘goodness, are you sick?’ he felt his forehead. ‘you are really hot.’

‘n-no i don’t think so. i was ok just a minute ago?’

‘what happened then?’

‘i-i kinda hugged y/n by accident and now my heart is beating really fast.’

and suga and tanaka started cheering

‘hinata, that’s called having a crush.’

‘a crush...’

kageyama

she brought you by the gym that day and announced you to be manager in training. kiyouko was overjoyed.

the team greeted you and how else could it be, hinata came jumping to you asking millions of questions

‘are you a friend of yachi? do you like volleyball? have you ever played? do you wanna watch me spike some balls? do-’

‘stop, asking so much at once chibi.’ tsukishima came to your rescue

‘what diD YoU cAll ME?’ tsukishima and yamaguchi chuckled at hinata’s reaction.

you bowed

‘my name is y/l/n y/n, i am from class 1-7. i will be in your care.’

‘and well, i played a little in middle school.’ hinata caught fire

‘oooohhhhh, what position?’

‘setter.’

kageyama slid in and repeated hinata’s behaviour

‘in which school were you? how long did you play? were-’ suga hand flapped his head before he could continue

the rest of the practice was normal. kiyoko and yachi explained your tasks and daichi introduced you to the rest of the team. since you already played volleyball it was unnecessary to explain the rules to you.

coach ukai tried to impress you but failed.

he made kageyama and hinata do the oddball quick and expected you to be baffled but instead you looked pensive. you walked over to kageyama and started explaining.

‘you are tossing him directly, but if you changed your posture like this...’ you demonstrated ‘... you would be able to build up more pressure and toss the ball even faster.’

alright this boy was so surprised that you actually were able to give him constructive criticism. this is love.

for the next few weeks he found himself even more motivated to play his best whenever he felt you were watching him and often went to get your approval and tips

he felt this tingly sensation in his stomach whenever he was talking to you and he could not explain why

after it got unbearable he went to suga for help who got daichi and noya. the three of them had to explain the concept of love and having a crush. they were so supportive, even noya who had occasionally flirted in your direction as well.

things started to add up for kageyama. everything they told him was an exact explanation of his feelings. the sting in his heart when you talked to somebody else, the happiness he felt when you laughed and so on.

he had to acknowledge it. he was in love with you.

yamaguchi

she brought you by the gym that day and announced you to be manager in training. kiyouko was overjoyed.

the team greeted you and how else could it be, hinata came jumping to you asking millions of questions

‘are you a friend of yachi? do you like volleyball? have you ever played? do you wanna watch me spike some balls? do-’

‘stop, asking so much at once chibi.’ tsukishima came to your rescue

‘what diD YoU cAll ME?’ tsukishima and yamaguchi chuckled at hinata’s reaction.

you bowed

‘my name is y/l/n y/n, i am from class 1-7. i will be in your care.’

yamaguchi bowed as well out of reflex. he was the only one though which made you chuckle

‘you are an idiot.’ ‘gomen, tsuki’

in the next following weeks you turned out to be a nice, caring and sweet person

you cared so much for the team and did everything in your might to help out. you talked to him occasionally and he was the one you asked for help. when he wondered why you answered: ‘you are the easiest to talk to, because you seem so nice. but i can stop if-’ ‘nonono that’s not what i meant.’

it turned out that you lived near his neighborhood so both yams and tsuki walked with you until you had to part ways.

in this times he noticed that he felt way happier than he had before, he blushed and laughed so much around you and felt empty whenever you were not there. he was sad and jealous when you helped out the others or when noya and tanaka flirted with you. well you were gorgeous after all. yes, he thought you were really pretty. and clever. and kind. and he liked your laugh. and he loved it when-

wait. love?

that was when he realized. in the following few days he got really shy around you, he observed to confirm his feelings. confirmed.

after that he met up with tsuki to get help.

‘i think i have feelings for y/n.’

‘wow, what a surprise.’ ‘what?’

‘did you really think i didn’t know that? you act even stupider than normal.’

he is still supportive though. yams is his best friend after all.

tsukishima

she brought you by the gym that day and announced you to be manager in training. kiyouko was overjoyed.

the team greeted you and how else could it be, hinata came jumping to you asking millions of questions

‘are you a friend of yachi? do you like volleyball? have you ever played? do you wanna watch me spike some balls? do-’

‘stop, asking so much at once chibi.’ tsukishima came to your rescue

‘what diD YoU cAll ME?’ tsukishima and yamaguchi chuckled at hinata’s reaction.

you bowed

‘my name is y/l/n y/n, i am from class 1-7. i will be in your care.’

tsukishima turned to hinata who seemed to literally burn with excitement

‘calm down your horses, shorty.’ hinata was about to lose it. you snorted out of true amusement, earning a slightly pouty look from hinata and a side-glance from tsukishima.

in the next few weeks you grew on the salty dinosaur.

yamaguchi initiated some conversations with you and where yams was, tsuki was to be found. you laughed at his sarcastic comments and sometimes joined in. he found out that you two had a similar kind of humor.

he had tried to get to you too, but you didn’t react or countered with similar sarcasm.

the two of them walked you home as your house was in their neighborhood.

yams shipped you two to death. he saw that you would be good together and knew that tsuki liked you, even though he didn’t know it yet.

the team was really confused that tsuki talked a lot around you without a trace of ill intentions and he smiled. SMILED

one day yams and tsuki were to walk you home again but yams excused himself, leaving the two of you alone. it was pretty late already and dark to it.

you had one of your deep conversations, when you stopped in your tracks.

‘taking roots?’

‘ah, no. look how beautiful the view is.’ you countered as you stared off into the distance. but tsuki didn’t follow your eyes but looked at you.

the stars reflected in your eyes, a small blush tainted your cheeks. you looked so peaceful and pretty.

wait, pretty?

tsuki’s face reddened madly. and he figured out his feelings and had to think of all the times yams had told him how happy he had looked whenever he was around you.

he couldn’t hold it an longer and stepped closer to you, taking your cheek in his hand and turning your face to face him [what is this sentence?]

and he kissed you passionately, letting all the surpressed emotions he had felt flow into your lips. he felt afraid that you would push him away but you didn’t. you kissed him back nearly instantly as your hands found their way on his neck and his on your waist. after you had to pull off for air you rested your foreheads together.

‘i like you too, idiot.’ you stated with a smile which he immediately returned.

Sakuno Ryuzaki X Seijuro Akashi

Prince of tennis/Kuroko no basket

Untitled story.

A/N: I don't own anything. This is my first time writing a Fanfic. I've been looking for this ship but can't find any so I make one...

____________________________________________

The winter cup just ended when Akashi saw for the first time

Seijūrō Akashi still can't believe he lost. His teammates already left. He is alone, sitting at one of the benches outside the staduim. He is looking at the cloudy dark sky.

"Um... h-hi" Seijuri look at the owner of the voice. A girl with two long braided hair, holding a white handkerchief. He blink several times, wondering what she's doing. "I- I saw t-the game" Seijuro almost cringe, but he is too amuse with this girl's blushing face "I.. also lost several games, when I'm.. just starting to play tennis" after hearning the said sport, he notice the tennis bag behind the she is carrying "I... actually still lost.. especially with my nii-sans.." Seijuro watch the girl take a deep breath "w-what I..am saying is, its normal to lose.. and cry... here its all yours" the girl put the handkerchief at his hand, he watch the girl run away. It takes a several moments when he realize, that he is crying. But now, his heart fells so light. He looks at the white handkerchief. Its just a plain white handkerchief with a big S at the corner. Akashi Seijuro smiles again.

The second time Akashi Seijuro saw her is on Tetsuya's birthday.

The Generation of Miracles + Momoi and Kuroro decided to spent kuroro's birthday playing basketball at one of the street court. He enjoys playing basketball after the winter cup. And he enjoys it more now he is playing with his friends like oldtimes. He saw Momoi sitting and watching them, he talks with the rest they decided to let Momoi play with them, she is also part of the team. Akashi decided to sit on the betch and watch his friends play, the boys are letting Momoi score every basket, and when Momoi missed, they all laugh. They continue playing when Kise stumble, all of them run towards Kise.

"I'm guys.. I just fell" Kise cheerfully said. Aomine notice a yellow-green tennis ball beside Kise.

"I think this is the reason, but how this ball end up here?" Aomine ask no one in particular. "Well I think we should take a break" everyone agreed, they walked to the bench, to take some break. When they heard a childrens laughter not far from them.

Mindorima picks the tennis ball "may be, this tennis ball is theirs. I give this back to them" but everyone wants to come, so they all follow the laughters. They didn't have to walk that far, just few steps they are already at the public tennis court.

Seijuro's eyes went wide. She is there, wearing a tennis attire with her hair in two buns. She is teaching 10 kids, how to play tennis. Seijuro didn't notice his friends are already walking towards the group of tennis player, he is busy watching her smiles at the kids succesful shoots.

"Ne, Aka-chin, don't you want to come?"

Seijuro blink several times and nod. The girl saw them waking and smile at them. His throat are too dry to greet her.

"Ryuzaki-san" the group look at koroko with confused face, "this is yours?" Then Kuroko show her the tennis ball, Seijuro watches her expression change, from confuse to happy to relieve.

"Hai! Kuroko-san" again the girl smile, but this time for Kuroko only, and he is not happy about it "though I wonder why you have it"

"Maybe one of the kids hit the ball to much, it end ups at basketball court" kuroko said.

"Ah.. Go-Gomen" the girl, who is Kuroko called Ryuzaki bow at them. Her voice, is more beautiful than he remembers.

"Ne, ne.. don't worry, no ones hurt" Kise said, too cheerfully for his liking "b-buttt how fo you know kurokocchi?"

Seijuro is waiting for the voice again but Kuroko answered the question "I apologize for my behavior, let me introduce her, -" once again the girl smiles at them, "This is Ryuzaki, Sakuno, she is the vice captain and one of the founder of girls tennis team. She is also my classmate. Ryuzaki, they are my teammates at middle school. Kise, Midorima, Murasakibara, Aomine, Akashi and Momoi-"

"Girlfriend, I'm Tetsu-kun's girlfriend" all of them sighed except for kuroko who doesn't show any expersion. The girl, Ryu-Sakuno just smile

"Oh, I know, Kagami told me"

"WHAT!" Kise and Aomine shout, the kids just look at them then continue playing tennis. Seijuro release his breath that he didn't know that he is holding.

Momoi just blush "Kagami likes to tease kuroko about his girlfriend, so the whole school knows about your relationship." Sakuno bow at them "It nice to meet you"

"I-its nice to meet you too" damn.. did he stutter. He hopes that no one notice.

Momoi finally recover and grin at Sakuno, "yeah, its nice to meet my boyfriend's friend"

"Ryuzaki, we don't want to distract you with you tennis lesson, we're going back to the basketball.. see you tomorrow" Sakuno just smile at them and wave. Wait is Sakuno looking at him?

"Ne, Tetsu we don't know you have other friends aside from your teammates." Aomine ask.

"Ah..." Kuroko answered.

"Ne..ne kurokocchi I'm curious hows your life at school, tells us about" Kise beg, Momoi has a hope in her eyes, and he also wants to know about Sakuno.

"Come on, tetsu-kun, we are also on break"

Kuroko just sighed and started telling the story, Seijuro listen carefully and take every information about Sakuno. Sadly, Kuroko didn't said anything about Sakuno or her personal life. Kuroko just said that they are a big group of first year, from different club, they become close because of Sakuno, and they all spent their sunday together, either playing different sports or having an advance study. They usually hang out at Kagami's house, 'cause he lives alone or at Sakuno's 'cause her parents are nice. And tomorrow is another celebration of Kuroko's birthday with the whole 1st year group, since kuroko's day is already full, with them this morning and this afternoon with basketball team which was organize by firsr year basketball member.

The group decided to joined the party this afternoon.

The third time he saw her is at the National Championship of Tennis (Girls divition).

Akashi is forever thankful for Momoi's unending source of information, they are now sitting and supporting the Seirin girls tennis team, which is compose of 7 first year with other Seirin first year. The first year group promise to support each others match, and that is the reason why Sakuno is at the wintercup even though she is a tennis player.

"Satsuki why you even drag me here" Aomine complained. Which is followede by yeah from Midorima and Muraskibara. Satsuki just rolled her eyes, and gave Murasakibara new sets of candy.

"Shh, Dai-chan shut up, we are supporting Tetsu-kun's friends" Momoi said, but she is not watching the game, she is looking at kuroko who is sitting beside her. Kise is shouting so loud cheering.

"Shut up Ahomine, some people are trying to much" Kagami said, while wathing at the game, singles 3, Seirin lost at Doubles 1, but won on doubles 2.

"Why you even watch this, this game is so boring"

The group heard someone cleared their throat. All of them up, at the seats behind them, they saw a group of men, glaring at them, the men are scary, specially the guy with oval glasses.

They continue to watch the game, the Seirin won the singles 3, the singles 2 will start soon when he heard the men at the back talking.

"Eh? The captain will play the singles 2? Why not the Saku-chan, she is the vice captain right" after hearing the word Saku-chan the other first year of seirin look at the source of the voice.

"We all know that Sakuno is a better tennis player, but we also know that she doesn't what to be the captain" the man with eyes closed said.

"They don't have a coach nya"

One of the first year has a guts to ask the group at the back. "Excuse me, do you know Ryuzaki-chan?"

"Nya,.. yes we know her and Mera-chan the captain, they are our kohai way back in middle school nya" a man cat answered. "Now, now start watching the next game, Mera-chan is an amazing player"

And they went back watching the game, its true, she is an amazing player but she is againts a third year, Seijuro look back at Sakuno and watch her, she watch the match calmly like the another match, (yes he's been watching her since the first match,) after several minutes, Seirin won, Sakuno offers a towel, he watch them talk and look at the opponent.

Sakuno walks to the court, and face them, she wave at their area and everyone shout and cheer.

"I still can't believe Echizen break up with her" one of the man behind them said.

Seijuro recognize the name, Echizen, a Pro-tennis player. She is Echizen's ex-girlfriend. She likes a tennis player. Yes they are already broke up, but what if she still loves him. Different scenario played at his mind, but this end instantly when he heard the umpire.

Seijuro watch her play. He can't believe it, she plays so gracefully.

He watch every moves. Every shoot. Every jump.

How can she dives in ground so gracefully?

Her smile. God he loves her smile.

He loves her dance at the court.

He loves her shoots.

He loves her determined yet face face.

God He loves her.

Oh God he loves her.

Damn. He loves her.

She won the game.

She won his heart with out doing anything.

Seijuro bid goodbye with his friendd, he doesn't know what to do. He can't face her now.

He walks aroud without destination, he ends up at a flowershop. Saw a flower on a small poy that reminds him of Sakuno, didn't think twice to buy the flower.

Now he has a flower, but don't know what to do. Pathetic.

The fourth time he saw her is at the interhigh, Rakuzan High vs. Too High,

He is sick, but he needs to play.

They are losing, he doesn't have enough energy, he is sick.

The ball went out the court, Seijuro decided to pick the ball, and he saw her.

She is at the entrance, she is holding the ball, she walks toward him and give the ball.

"There are still time, to win this game" she said to him. Only him. Looking at his eyes and smiling at him.

Seijuro nod and smirk "watch me win this game?" She nod and smile.

The game end, they won, he won. He look at sakuno who is smiling, then start walking out. Seijuro didn't wait for his teammates, he picks his bag and start running.

Seijuro saw her at bench sitting, looking at the starry sky. He sits beside her. Still watching her face.

"Congrats on winning" then sakuno look at him "I don't know you well, but I know you will win that game" she said smiling.

"T-Thank y-you"

"You're sick right?" They sakuno puts her hands at his forehead "and you didn't take a bath..." Sakuni said with a cute pout.

"Sorry, if I smell" Seijuro said with a slight blush.

"Its okay, but you need to rest"

"I will... um can I get your number?" Sakuno nod, and that is his best night.

After a months of texting and calling, they will finally meet, and hang out, just the two of them. And this is the day that he will ask her to be his girlfriend.

001 Gomens

(gonna do the TV show because otherwise I’ll get confused)

Favourite Character: Aaaaaaaaah they’re all amazing but probably the angels as a gang. They’re fun but also interesting.

Least Favourite Character: I found Famine annoying

5 Favourite Ships: Nope

Character I Find Most Attractive: HAVE YOU FUCKIN SEEN DAVID TENNANT?

Character I Would Marry: Aziraphale.

Character I Would Be Best Friends With: Probably Newt. We’d both make awful jokes, I imagine (at least based on his car)

A Random Thought: Where did Pestilence go when he retired?

An Unpopular Opinion:

My Canon OTP: Aziraphale/Crowley, obviously

My Non-Canon OTP: Honestly, I haven’t the foggiest

Most Badass Character: Pepper. No question about that.

Most Epic Villain: Death was amazing

Paring I Am Not A Fan Of: IDFK

Characters I Feel The Writer Screwed Up In One Way Or Another: The Four Horsepeople felt a little underdeveloped, possibly because they only had 1 rather than the planned 2 scenes to be introduced in. We were missing them going about their normal Horseperson duties, and instead only got them meeting the delivery man and then meeting up to go to Tadfield. I just wish those scenes had been left in.

Favourite Friendship: The Them being together, pretending Adam was in charge but really it was Pepper all along.

Character I Most Identify With: Aziraphale.

Kismet (Chapter 6): a BTS Jin imagines fanfic

First ever fanfic. Contains fluff and some smut. Please read sequentially as it is a long story arc. Please provide feedback! My IG is btskismet.

The trip from Osaka to Kyoto would take an hour. She chose not to take the shinkansen this time since she left pretty early to take the train going to Shunkoin Temple.

After getting coffee, an onigiri and her favorite yogurt from Family Mart, she took her luggage with her to Namba station as she was ready to take the first train to Kyoto station. She decided that she will deposit her luggage at the coin lockers in Kyoto station first before going to the temple.

Jin will have to go straight to the hotel with his car, she thought. He won't have the chance to take a train from Kyoto station by that time because it would be too late.

She knew the stay in Kyoto would only be for 2 nights. But at least it will be quiet and secluded - hopefully no one will recognize him.

The train trip went by slowly, through the sleepy towns and fields. She contentedly watched the houses as they zipped past them, seeing each house look similar to the others and at the same time not because of the minor additions made to each one in terms of structure or decor. 'If I was on a shinkansen, all of this would be a blur', she thought to herself. She knew that was the disadvantage of riding the shinkansen. All the little intricacies that make the quaint houses look so nice can't be appreciated when riding a bullet train.

She contemplated on the itinerary on their stay in Kyoto and where they could go that wasn't too busy. She knew that Kyoto was the hotspot for tourists so travelling around might be a challenge. Good thing they will just be there for 2 nights before they head out.

~~~~

She was walking through the quiet path that led to Shunkoin Temple. A few other foreigners walked with her and she figured they would be her "classmates" for the meditation class. She was always interested in meditation done by Buddhist monks and she found that this is something she shouldn't pass up on this trip.

The Shunkoin Temple is the only temple in Kyoto that teaches mediation in English. It is a reasonably priced session for an hour and the abbot, Reverend Kawakami, answers all questions and concerns during each class before they start meditation. She was excited to learn how to do it properly.

The class is comprised of 20 people. Despite the large number of participants, it seemed that the class would really be a calm one because the Reverend was very accommodating and serene. The participants asked questions on the purpose of meditation, how to do it properly, what are the benefits and consequences, etc. She was pleased to know that it can help her manage stress better because it teaches mindfulness.

Someone asked a weird question in class. "Is it true that meditation can allow you to have a past life regression because your mind is open? I read about experiences other people had when they did meditation correctly.", an eager young lady in the front row asked.

"Meditation will definitely open your mind and provide spiritual awakening and enlightenment but past life regressions are rare, if not at all. Those who start having instances of spiritual awareness may feel that's it but that's not the case.", the Reverend replied.

The Reverend then asked them to close their eyes to start the session. He told them to sit in a comfortable but indian-style position. He taught them to focus on their breathing and for each inhale and exhale, they have to listen to just that. He didn't ask then to block their thoughts but the more they focused on their breathing, the more it would be easier for thoughts to drift in to their minds and out without effort.

She focused on her breathing and made sure to listen to each breath she took. She would inhale through her nose but exhale through her mouth, as was taught. She saw Jin in her mind's eye which made her smile deep inside. Then her thoughts of him faded away as she took a deep breath and released it.

Inhale then exhale... Inhale then exhale...

She saw Jin again in her mind but he seemed to be older. He still had those kind eyes and those full, pouty lips but his face was thinner and his complexion was a little duller. He also had a few creases in the corner of each eye. He was peeling carrots, hunched over a big bowl with peeled carrots. Then he faced her and he laughed.

She felt her own breath again as she inhaled and exhaled. She heard the Reverend's voice but it sounded so distant, as if he was underwater.

Then she saw her hands and she could see that it was covered in dirt and blood. They were trembling and then they got wet because rain started to fall which turned the ground into mud. She was crying and saw bodies around her; people she didn't recognize except for one. She looked up and saw soldiers standing in front of her, soaked in the rain, looking down on her. She started to cry louder, filled with pain and anger, as she looked at the faces of each soldier. In the back, she saw Jin looking at her; his expression was one of sadness and anger. She kept crying loudly until she felt she couldn't breathe. As she was trying to catch her breath, she then fainted.

~~~

She woke up and was startled to find herself lying down on a futon inside a tatami room. It wasn’t dark when she woke but she knew right away that she wasn’t in a hotel or airbnb. She sat up and looked at her watch. It was 3pm. She looked for her bag and saw it in one corner of the room. She went to it and took out her phone. There were several messages from family, from Jin and one from the hotel, asking if she needed assistance in getting there as it was past the check-in time she emailed them she would be there. She sent them a message that she would be there soon.

She racked her brain as to what happened. All she could remember was sitting down and listening to the Reverend, asking them to focus on their breathing.

One of the sliding doors in the room opened and a monk appeared. He bowed in front of her and asked if he could come in so she nodded. He had a pot with tea in it and motioned her to move to the table in the room. He silently poured the tea in a cup and offered it to her to drink. Without a word, she got the cup and took a sip.

“Am I still in Shunkoin?”, she politely asked the monk. He nodded.

“Do you remember what happened?”, he asked her in perfect English. “No. I just remember meditating and focusing on my breathing, just like what the Reverend said.”, she replied.

“Was there anything you heard or saw while you were meditating?”, he asked pointedly.

She tried to recall but just like her dreams, they started to fade as soon as she focused on remembering the details. “I remember seeing people I know, one person in particular and rain and...”. She said ‘tsk’ and shook her head. “That’s all I can remember.”

The monk nodded and poured her another cup of tea.

“What happened, uhh, Reverend...?”

“You can call me as Obousan Shu.”, the monk interjected.

“Obousan Shu, can you please tell me what I did? I really don’t remember.”

Obousan Shu began to tell her how she reacted during the meditation. He said that in the middle of the lesson, the Reverend noticed she had tears streaming down her face. As he was approaching her, she started to whimper but still had her eyes closed. The other students beside her started to ask if she was okay but she wasn’t responding back. When the Reverend reached out and touched her shoulder, she started wailing. He started talking to her and getting her attention while more people around her were trying to speak to her to wake her up. After a couple of seconds, she started to sound like she couldn’t breathe and then fainted. Then they carried her to the tatami room and called one of the monks who studied medicine to check her. When he said she was fine and breathing normally, they let her sleep in the room.

Her eyes were wide after he finished speaking. She covered her mouth and then made a low bow, her forehead touching the table. “Gomen nasai, Obousan Shu-san!”, she said quickly. “Please, it is nothing. No need to apologize.”, the monk said.

She lifted her head and felt the warmth rising up to her cheeks and ears. “I know you’re embarrassed about this but please don’t be. We are just glad that you are alright.”, he said.

“I am sorry for disrupting the class that way. I don’t know what happened to me. I can’t remember anything...”

Obousan Shu chuckled and said: “Maybe it is for the best. I think you meditated and went so close to enlightenment that you saw more!”

He poured her another cup of tea and she sheepishly took it, feeling more embarrassed than she let on.

Her face was still warm when she boarded the train from Shunkoin temple to Kyoto station. She felt ashamed that the temple wanted to refund what she paid for the class, given that she didn’t finish it. But she protested and said that she did stay in their temple room and it was only fair that they still took her payment. They refused and gave her a full refund and even gave her a blessing for safe travel.

She responded to Jin’s messages (after he sent a flurry of worried messages to her), telling him that she was fine and she would explain tonight what happened.

To divert his worry, she sent him a link to the hotel so he could check it and told him she was excited to see him again tonight as they still have a lot to plan for the trip to Hokkaido.

As she boarded the train from Kyoto station to head to Arashiyama station, she resolved to let go of what happened and just chalk it up as an interesting experience in her Japan travels. One thing’s for certain though: she felt that sense of enlightenment about Jin. Being with him for a week is definitely an opportunity that she should not pass up.

In the hotel, she was thrilled that they got the premiere suite. It was a quaint hotel and there were only 7 rooms for guests so the possibilities of people recognizing Jin were limited. She was aware that they had to be absolutely discreet and any news about Jin on his whereabouts after the concert would be career suicide for him.

She was sitting in the balcony area, looking at the boats floating on the Katsura river. She could hear the crickets in the area and the soft lapping of the water. She had a cup of hot chocolate in her hands.

2245. She checked her phone if she has a message from him as the concert ended 45 minutes ago. She started to wonder if it was hard for him to leave discreetly after the concert. The Kyocera Dome concert they had tonight was the last one in Japan this year and there would be thousands of ARMYs waiting for them to ride the cars on the way to the hotel. Jin did say that he wouldn’t go back to the hotel anymore as he packed all of his bags before the concert and already had them placed in the car. Each BTS member leaves the concert venues and hotels in their own cars for security so she hoped he didn’t need to have any detours or stopovers. His travel to the hotel would also be long - an hour’s drive from there to Arashiyama.

Bliiip!

She checked her phone and had a big smile with what she saw. Her heart raced when she saw the selfie Seokjin sent her with a message that said: In car. See you later (heart emoji).

“This is it! It’s happening!’, she thought. She stood up and plopped face down on the bed, got a pillow and screamed into it. She can’t wait to see Seokjin again.
