god im so excited for the Barbie movie today. I might be a bit tense while seeing my triggers on screen but honestly I’ve been doing so so so well handling my ptsd the last few weeks and I'm very proud of myself!!!!!
there’s a few triggers I’ve been actively working on reclaiming and I KNOW I’m going to be okay watching the movie bc I am not letting anybody take this from me. I know I’m gonna wanna see it more than once. I even bought myself a cute pink skirt for it ;w;
#I’m gonna wear pink glitter in my hair too for opening night#woof#like i know im gonna be rly tense but i have been doing SO much better than i was just a month ago#if anything ill just be incredibly tense at first. but i genuinely think ill relax more as the movie progresses#bc ive been using grounding techniques for months and ive been working so goddamn hard to reclaim pink#WHICH IS SUCH HUGE PROGRESS FOR ME to think back to january when i couldnt look at pink at ALL#and i think seeing pink literally every single second for 2 hours straight in the barbie movie#is gonna also help my brain be like 'oh hey everything is fine' help it to become desensitized#bc ive been doing exposure therapy and im doing so much better than i was even just one month ago!!!!!!!#barbie is my girlfriend. and ken is my boyfriend. and i have two hands they can hold#god!!! you know how many barbies im gonna kiss!!!!! SO MANY#this is MY movie i have been so fucking excited to see!! its my number one favorite thing ive been looking forward to!!!!#i have wanted to see this! so! fucking! badly! and fuck anybody who tried to ruin that for me#i dont want ptsd to control my life#i feel like im riding a bull and gripping it by the horns while its trying to kick me off while im yelling Not Today Bitch#thats what trying to reclaim triggers feels like#but i can fucking feel it working i can feel myself getting better with some of these triggers i cant believe it#and i think just a year from now most of these triggers wont be severe anymore#which is my goal. i dont even need them to be cured completely i just want to function normally#cannot tell u how fucking unreal it is to have so many triggers that are like. normal everyday stuff#colors. clothes. phrases. transformers. im taking ALL of that shit back#STARTING WITH PINK ONE OF MY FAVORITE GODDAMN COLORS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖#THE EMOJI LOOKS RED ON DESKTOP BUT THAT IS OKAY.

#sometimes u just gotta have a cringe fail weekend. is what i tell myself bc i let the fact that i forgot to check my new#email completely obliterate me. also i haven't been sleeping enough. also just the normal thoughts in my head#by which i mean the part of my brain that demands consequences for inattention by means of suffering. devine punishment.#which is irrational and annoying but knowing that doesnt seem to help. so ive just been laying here in the hopes i come unspooled and start#to disintegrate. which is annoying bc ive got stuff to do#specifically bc i am supposed to b a TA this semester. which is what i figured but also feared#so. thats gonna b a lot. tho not as much as my old school bc they dont make TAs do literally everything here apparently#but. itll b a lot. and also i have to finish signing up for classes. bc i didnt do that back in April by my brain was melting. also i have#to keep doing my job and dealing with my data. ugh. well. being a TA isnt so bad. i do like to help ppl learn even if im not very good at it#like. i struggle with thr talking to ppl part. like the transition of ny thoughts to something thst makes sense#oh well. hope i end up teaching something im not too unqualified for. i could do soils. Ecology. uhhh. maybe intro bio but i never even took#university level biology. i just skipped upper level courses. that's probably it. anything else would b a lotta faking it#ugh. im tired. i should go to sleep at 9pm. thr sun hasbt even set and i should sleep#tomorrow i have to get my shit together. but also i wanna email my new professor like hey bro like what do u want me to do???#like how do i start in this lab? when do we start talking. like just not to b pushy but whats thr procedure?#i like Structure but also its like weeks until the semester starts so we got time. im just a lil nuts#jesus. its gonna b an interesting semester. hopefully fun but uh it is sorta like taking a boat out when u can see big ominous clouds#like im sure ill b fine but also i might get dumped over into a watery grave. i just. i have a lot of papers to write#and its gonna b hard to b a student on top of that. partly bc what im gonna b doing now is almost completely unrelated#which is probably y ppl stick to the same track they stsrt on. that awkward moment when ppl ask u if ur gonna keep working with bi0crust#and ur like uhhhh no fuck that actually the work ive done in the past 4 years makes me hate myself✌️#so we r back at square 1. well not 1 bc its sorta related but its a pretty big reset#itll b fine once things start. its just thr anticipation that kills me#unrelated

You paint Denki’s nails.
800 words~
Tumblr media
You carefully stroked the brush across your nails, ensuring to lay down an even level of paint.
“Man, that’s a strong smell,” Denki said, walking up to sit next to you on the couch.
“Oh sorry, I guess I could move to my dorm,” you said, placing the nail polish brush back in the bottle.
“No it’s fine- by all means continue cutie~” he said, in his usual flirty tone.
You rolled your eyes and continued to paint your nails.
“Hey, what’s that look for?” He asked defensively.
“Nothing little Pichu,” you said, continuing to paint and not looking up at him. You didn’t exactly mind Denki’s casual flirting, but it did irritate you that he flirted with anything that moved. You found it impossible to take any of his compliments seriously when he tossed them around so casually to anyone.
“Pichu? What happened to Pikachu, hm?” He asked, making himself comfortable on the couch.
“Pichu fits you better. He also hurts himself when he uses his electricity,” you said laughing.
“Ouch! Ok, you got me, but I’m working on it! I don’t fry my brain as much as I used to anymore!” Denki said, defending himself.
"I know I know, you've been working really hard," You agreed as you finished up with your nails. "Hey, let me do yours." You offered.
"What?! Paint my nails?" He asked, looking at you with a confused expression.
"Yeah come on, girls love a guy with painted nails. It'll help you," You said teasingly at him.
"Hmm, alright go ahead then. Besides, I'll take any excuse for a cutie to be close to me," He said laughing and sticking out his hands for you.
You playfully hit him on the shoulder for his remark.
"Hey!" He laughed, "You're being extra feisty today."
"You deserved it!" You said searching your bag to choose colors for him. "Hmmm- how about yellow and black? Maybe- your index and ring finger yellow then the rest black? That's pretty spicy I think."
"Sure I trust your judgment," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
You untwisted the cap of the nail polish and pulled his index finger closer to you. Denki watched as you carefully painted even strokes of color onto his nails. His heart beat just a little fast at how close you were to him.
"Wow, ok, I see your vision now. This is looking pretty cool. And~ since you're handing out tips~ what else do you think would help me with the ladies?" He asked, tilting his head as he watched you switch to the black nail polish.
"Be more picky," You said plainly as you continued to paint.
"Hm? What do you mean?" He asked.
"You flirt with everyone Kaminari, and everyone knows it- no girl wants that," You explained. "Girls like to feel special. They don't want to be with someone they think would just date anyone. They have to feel like you mean it when you say you like them or call them cute. So, stick to flirting with one girl. Maybe you'll have better luck that way."
"Ohh- Ok, I think I get what you're saying," Denki responded and looked solemn for a moment as he processed your words.
You two sat in silence for a few moments as you began painting his next hand.
"Hey- do... Do you want to go to the arcade tomorrow?" Denki asked, his voice sounding unusually unsure.
"Sure, you gonna kick Kirishima's ass at Mortal Kombat again?"
Denki laughed, "Always! But um- no... I meant... Do you want to go to the arcade... with just me?" He clarified.
You paused painting his nails and looked up at him, "What?" You exclaimed surprised by his question.
"Well- you just told me I should focus on one girl and... If I'm being honest- you're the one I think about all the time. I'm not just saying flirty stuff to be charming or something- I... I mean it with you," He explained, as he searched your dumbfounded expression desperate for an answer.
You felt like your whole body was paralyzed. Was Denki being serious? All those times he flirted with you- he wasn't just joking? Did he really mean everything he said?
Your cheeks warmed up the more you processed his words.
Denki began to panic at your silence, "Oh man, you can totally forget everything I just said if I made this weird. I don't want to ruin our friendship or anything!"
"No! It's not that- I... I uh... yeah- let's go to the arcade tomorrow. Just you and me," You said, your blush deepening as you went back to eyeing his fingers to avoid his gaze. It was suddenly hard to look him in the eyes now.
"Yeah? You want to?!" He exclaimed excitedly. "Ok! It's a date then."

Tumblr media
he is going to be the death of you. “he” being xu minghao of course. the most gorgeous man you set eyes on. he’s also jun’s best friend, your brother. isn’t that just great for you? you’re around him constantly, he’s kind, caring, and very hot. why wouldn’t you have the biggest crush on him? he’s also coming over right now. you, him, and jun planned a hangout. you loved hanging out with them,,,especially minghao.
you guys had planned a game night with every board game imaginable. you three in you & juns living room. you were obviously winning in every game. but that was quickly cut short when a call interrupted your round of uno. jun looks around for his phone quickly. he grabs it,, answering his phone.
“hey! yea im free- okay cool i’ll leave soon!” he replies to the other person on the line. “i got myself a date!” he says after hanging up the phone. “they want to hangout! i’m so excited- surely you guys would be fine here by yourself.” he smiles at you two. “well of course we will. right y/n? go get that date.” he looks at you with a soft smile. you nod looking back at your brother. he is gone in an instant to go to his room.
“do you want to keep playing?” minghao breaks the small silence. you shrug a little shaking your head. “not really- i’m tired now.” you laugh at yourself feeling defeated. he nods his head agreeing with you. “i’m gonna lay down for a little bit. if that’s okay? i promise i won’t let you be alone for the night!” he nods and lays back against the couch.
“lay down all you need. im gonna do the same!” he smiles at you as you make your way to your bedroom. you smothered your self in your covers as soon as you get onto your bed. you try to find something to watch but there’s simply nothing good. so you think why not do something you literally always do. stargazing!!! maybe you can invite minghao? if he would even want to come- your brain can’t help but to bring him into everything.
you make your way down to the living room to see minghao laying on the couch scrolling on his phone. you have your keys in hand as you grab you fill up your water bottle. “where are you going?” minghao turns to look at you.
“oh- i’m gonna go stargazing. you can come if you want.” you say looking at him with a soft smile. he jumps off the couch with a nod. “can i? that’s like my favorite thing ever.” he makes his way over to you leaving you awfully close. you blush at the closeness and look away from him. “okay let’s go.”
Tumblr media
the stars and minghao had easily become one of your favorite things. you two are laying on a blanket at your favorite look out spot. the temperature is perfect and so is minghao. you try to focus on the stars you really do but you just keep getting distracted. “what are you thinking about in that pretty head?” his words catch you completely off guard. you try not to show how flustered he makes you as you reply.
“nothing- just staring into space.” you smile as you turn to him. you regret that very quickly. he’s just so pretty. “you think jun is having a good time on his date?” he asks looking at you softly. you nod. “i’m sure of it! juns really great. and he really likes them. he’s always telling me.” you laugh as you think of the memories of your brother.
“yea me too. they seem great for him.” he nods at your words turning back to look at the stars,, you doing the same. “you want to go on a date with someone? you got a crush?” he blurts out as he smiles at the stars. “oh- well not really. i don’t know i guess?” he turns to look at you. “that was an unsure answer.” he giggles a little and you blush at that. the sound of his laugh filling your ears is something you could listen to forever.
“well i do like someone but they don’t like me back so it’s stupid.” he shakes his head. “not stupid at all. i-well i’m kinda in the same situation. i get you.” he smiles at you. “what do you think i should do?” you say looking away from him. “i don’t know- i would say go for it. you never know what will happen.” his words are comforting but you obviously don’t think you’ll be able to go through with his advice. you’re very afraid of rejection and making it weird for jun. you never want to put him in that situation.
“why haven’t you taken your own advice? i know it’s easier said than done.” he sighs a little at your words. “the girl i like is kinda off limits. well i don’t if i would say off limits but it’s just complicated.” you nod at him. “y/n- i don’t know if i should say this. but the girl is you- it’s fine if you don’t feel the same i understand. i just can’t lie to you.” he says looking at you waiting for you to say something. you are beyond shocked by his confession. you never thought that he would feel the same.
“look i’m sorry if that made you uncomfortable. that’s the last thing i wanted to do.” his expression softens as he sits up. “no minghao! i’m not uncomfortable i swear. i just am shocked because i feel the same.” you sitting up as well to look at him fully. “really? are you messing with me?” he laughs nervously.
“no no- i would never do that. minghao i like you too. i have for awhile i just could never tell you. i was too scared and i know it’s stupid because you’re jun’s best friend and i know how easy you are to talk to- i’m just rambling now i’m sorry im nervous!” you laugh looking away from him. “don’t be sorry. i’m nervous too. you make me very nervous,,in the best way!” he says not taking his eyes off you.
“can i kiss you?” he asks grabbing your hand. “yes-“ his lips are quick to meet yours. the kiss is sweet and filled with love. you let a moan slip as he deepens the kiss. his hand cups your face as slowly melt more into the kiss.
you’re the first to pull away with a light pant. “i wanted to do that for a really long time.” you say with a smile. he nods his head pulling you into a hug. “me too- also you look really pretty tonight,,you always do.” his words always make you blush but him calling you pretty has you bright red. you laugh looking away from him.
“no- i meant it you look beautiful.” you smile as he rubs your cheek a little having you look at him. “thank you minghao. you’re sweet.” he smiles before looking around. “it’s getting pretty late do you think we should go back?” you nod getting up from your spot grabbing your blanket heading back to the car. “do you want to drive?” you ask waving the keys at him. “sure.” he smiles as you throw the keys to him. you both getting into the warmth of the car.
“minghao- can i kiss you again?” you turn touching his arm gently. “of course sweetheart. come here.” you literally think you might die right then and there. sweetheart????? you could die happy now of course. he leans in to kiss you, his hand coming up to grab your face again. this kiss is more desperate on his end and you love it. it’s hungry but he’s still being gentle.
“you’re so fucking pretty.” he says in between kisses. you have butterflies in your stomach. you are dying in front of him and you don’t even care. you moan quietly as you slowly climb over his lap. he helps you onto his lap as you get comfortable. you grind down mindlessly against him causing him to pull away from the kiss.
“shit- are you- do you want to do this?” you nod pecking his lips. “maybe a little here and more at home? if you want to- hao i really want you.” he laughs in disbelief. “you’re gonna kill me. i want you more than anything pretty.” he pulls you into another kiss as you start to grind down onto him again. he groans into the kiss moving his hands to your hips helping you move against him.
“fuck- let’s go now.” you pull away from the kiss and climb off of him. he laughs straightening out himself as he starts the car. “wait- what if jun is there?” you look at him as he starts to drive to your house. “i don’t think he’s back yet. i think he would’ve texted or something.” he smiles at you quickly looking back at the road.
Tumblr media
as soon as you guys make sure no one is home. you are quick to run to your bedroom. you guys are stripping each other like its a race. he is on top of you kissing your neck slowly. “can i touch you?” he asks as he kisses against your chest and down your stomach. “please hao-“ he kisses against your thighs. he comes back up to face you to kiss your lips. you feel his fingers rub against your thighs. he plants soft whispers and praises into your neck as feel his fingers rubbing against your slit.
“hao-“ he shuts you up by kissing you as you feel one of his fingers enter you. he’s kissing you sloppily as he works his finger slowly. he pulls away to look at you fully spread for him. “look at you. so so pretty i can’t-“ he kissing against your skin gently as he cups one of your breasts rubbing it gently. you moan out quickly putting your hand over your mouth.
“don’t hide yourself. you sound so pretty.” his finger curls inside you as he rubs your clit with his thumb. “b-but what if jun comes h-home.” you throw your head back at the pleasure quickly forgetting about your words. your moan is loud as minghao licks a small stripe against your neck, kissing it very carefully.
“h-hao? can you fuck me? please i n-need you.” you pull his face closer to you by his chain, careful not to break it. “shit- are you sure?” he asks as he kisses your cheek. “yes! i’m- so sure please-“ he nods quickly moving to spread your legs for him. he gives his dick a couple strokes as he lines up with you. you watch him with intense eyes as you feel yourself get wetter. his brown hair messy and the dark light is making you lose your mind. how could someone be so perfect? he wants you? you are beyond lucky.
“you are completely sure?” he looks up at you. you nod pulling him down to peck his lips. “i need you- please hao.” you sigh as you feel him rub his tip against your clit. “why are you teasing?” you pout at him as he chuckles at you a little. “okay- i won’t tease you anymore.” you feel him push into you gently as he leaves kisses against your neck and shoulders.
“oh- oh my gosh hao-“ you wince at the pain but it was quickly replaced with pleasure. he slowly bottoms out watching your face. “are you okay?” you rubs your side lovingly as he watches your expression. “yes- keep going. you can move-“ he cuts you off as he starts to move his hips shallowly.
“shit- i didn’t ask about protection-“ he looks around as he draws his hips from you. “no- you can just pull out! if you’re okay with that?” you grab his arm gently. he looks at you with a half smirk. “yea- fuck okay.” he is quick to return to movements. you cry out loudly, moaning his name.
he groans when he hears his name leave your lips. “fuck- keep moaning my name sweetheart.” okay did you just come? well no but you could’ve from how sexy he sounded. you throw your head back as his hips speed against you. his hands are gripping your hips helping you move with his thrusts. “this okay?” you nod moaning out.
“so g-good.” you are almost to tears he’s moving at the perfect pace and being so gentle. he leaves soft kisses against your body. the praises sending you into heaven. “you’re so pretty- fuck aren’t you?” “you look so perfect for me, all for me.” you blushing at each of his statements as your cunt agrees with the loving praises he’s giving you. “shit- i might come.” he looks at you before groaning as his hips start to slow just slightly.
“me- too. don’t s-stop.” you grip his shoulder as you moan his name loudly. his hips start to move at the perfect angle causing both of you to cry out for each other. “i’m coming-“ he kisses your neck as his hips stuttering. you clench around him as you to warn him, coming undone. he groans as he pulls out of you. his warm seed painting your stomach. you both moan out as he throws his head back.
“you were so perfect. took it so well for me.” he kisses your head. “look at you gorgeous as ever sweetheart.” he rubs your cheek as he grabs a rag to clean you up. he’s very gentle as he cleans you up. he’s looking at you giving you cute smiles as you feel some spots tickle. he gives your face soft kisses as he finishes cleaning you off.
“all clean now- well kinda.” he smiles pulling your fave in to kiss you as he crawls into the bed with you. just a few hours ago you were thinking of the boy in that same bed. you look over as him as you hand him his shorts and grab your discarded clothes both of you getting dressed. minghao staying shirtless with just his shorts. you guys crawl back into bed together. he pulls you close to him almost instantly. “i think i’m in love with you.” he says as he looks at you. your smile quickly turns into an even bigger one.
“hao i think i am too.” you kisses his lips snuggling back into him. “you’re so beautiful. how am i so lucky?” he kisses your cheek. “will you be my girlfriend?” he asks you as he lays his head against yours. “of course i will hao.” you smile kissing his head. you two stay cuddled up for another hour as you hear the front door open. jun came in to no one in the living room, which he thought was weird. maybe minghao is in his room and you are in yours? of course he’s gonna check on you first. he opens your door without knocking giving you and minghao to separate from each others arms.
“i’m home. how was ur nig-“ he looks at you guys blankly for a second almost speechless. “did you guys- have sex?” he looks at minghao’s boxers and shirt with your bra against the floor. “uh-“ he shakes his head. “fucking finally. well first of all gross. but finally you guys can stop annoying me with the awkward flirting!” he laughs quietly.
“glad your night was eventful.” you hide your face in embarrassment. “okay enough about that! how was your date jun?” you ask him, you smile as minghao nods along with your words. “it was great! we’re going to breakfast so on that note i’m going to bed. i also need to wash this image out of my mind.” he turns away from your door closing. “we weren’t even doing anything!” you shout through the door. he ignores you but you quickly get a text.

Hello c:
can I request Akira and Ryuji with a f!s/o who is going through her period
(I'm suffering the wrath of cramps 😭)
Tumblr media
This is the worst....
Ryuji and Joker/Akira x Fem!Reader
Summary: you're on your period with them trying to help you
Notes: HI Hi annon!, dw I feel ya 💀 ALSO I GOT THE OTHER MESSAGE IM SORRY I MADE YOU WAIT SO LONG 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
Warnings: mentions of blood, the hell of period craps
Tumblr media
He has futaba he already knows what it must be like for you maybe even worse, so he brings you stuff you like in hopes you don't turn into a fire breathing dragon and spit fire (futaba)
Offers to do your homework for you or help you with it. He wants you to rest, don't stress about it too much not like he memmorised your handwriting for this exact purpose. So what if they aren't causing you that much pain you rest watch him speed run homework.
He lays his head on your stomach sometimes, this could lead to teasing unless you were actually about to make futabas story real. "Hey leave my girlfriend alone stomach" "stop qouting that!" Getting you to laugh made it worth it
He will lay with you even if you don't ask you could take a nap and wake up with him on his phone next to you. "You're awake?" Scooing over with a chipper grin on his face he shows you his phone "take a peak at this" as he shows you the video you don't notice him sneaking his arm under your torso to pull you into his chest. "Felt that" "awe" you feel him lean over you to kiss your cheek "I woulda got you this time sure of it" smiling weakly you kiss him back "not a chance"
He does cook for you during these times. The godsend of his cooking always make you forget about the pain and misfortune of these unfortunate times. "I can spoon feed you if you want" "YES"
Tumblr media
He looks like his brains about to explode when he learns your on your period. "Ohhh that time of the month. No biggie!" Until you didn't show up to school one day because of your cramps
He did come running to your house with pads and the plush you kept hugging when you stayed in his. "Miss l/n it's an emergency please let me stay with your daughter!" "Oh you must be Ryuji! She talks so much about you!" Her eyes water as she fondly tells him about the times you spoke about him. It was nice but what was great was sneaking away mid rant. "Y/n!" "Ryuji?!"
He takes oddly great care of you, offering you food and bringing a game with him. "You brought alot-" "well yea I didn't know what you were in the mood for so I brought everything I knew ya liked" "They're gonna last me years..." "perfect!"
Only lays next to you if you ask him to. Feels like if he moves the wrong way it'll make you uncomfortable. So when you eventually get him to lay next to you he's just a board, his mind comming up with all sorts of theories for what would happen if he even breathed wrong.
So the next day you came to school the guy was with you every step. "Ryuji your classrooms next door" "what if you pass out" "they aren't that bad worse case I end up vomiting" "what if there's no bag!" You sigh patting his shoulder "listen I'll be fine" it's gonna take the bell to ring for him to finally give in. Doesn't mean he isn't walking you home keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Shot through the heart
Tumblr media
.
.
.

"Hey Dweeb, buy me some bread."
"B-But I'm doing my homework"
"Ah? Do look like I give a single fuck about what your doing? Buy me some bread."
"I-I have no money.."
"Like I care? Stop complaining and buy me some bread already dipshit!"
A girl pushed your chair as you fell flat on the floor groaning from the sudden force that was applied on it. Your glasses fell to the floor as your eyesight has turned blurry and it was hard for you to navigate the surroundings.
"Oh poor Y/n's gonna walk in all 4s? Aweee bark for me~"
Their laugher almost made you wanna hate your life as whole as their torment at you every time you go to school is hellish. It's something that you wish but to end and perhaps it will end if you end your life yourself. But there was one glimpse of hope for you. That one factor left that would keep you from ending it all.
"Hey! Stop what your doing to him Hanni. It's not funny."
The voice of an Angel. Baek Jiheon. She was your senior and the president of the Club you were in. Jiheon was also kind of fond towards you especially with how enthusiasm you were everytime there's an meeting or an activity at the club.
"Awe come on Jiheon Unnie. I was just messing with him."
"Yeah right. Listen to me Pham Hanni. If I ever see you bully Y/N again, I'll make sure to give your sister a visit."
Jiheon's stern voice made Hanni clenched her fist and glare at her. You didn't really know what the two have going on but having to spent your time with your bully and savior, you could tell that the two used to have a past together. Hanni scoffed and left the classroom along with her friends as Jiheon handed you your glasses. Upon seeing her, your heart raced quicker than normal.
"Are you okay Y/n?"
Her angelic voice that send tingles down your spine temporarily froze you in place. Time slowed down as you observed everything about her. The sun was shining behind her and the birds seemingly singing her a song. Everything was so bright around her and you would have hoped nothing but to be with her.
"Y/N? Are you okay?"
"H-Huh? Oh yeah! I-I'm fine."
You stuttered as Jiheon lended you a hand helping you stand up.
"By the way, You don't have anything to do after class right?"
"Yeah."
"Good, cause we kinda have an important meeting later on."
Jiheon's bright smile was the only thing that your mind was processing as you were just nodding at her. She chuckled and gave you a sandwich which surprised you.
"Here's a snack for you Y/N. See you later~"
Jiheon waved at you and left the classroom leaving you a confused blushing mess. Jiheon's kindness is also what makes you fall for her more as this only added to her charms. But as much as you what to admire her, you have a lot of opponents to win her heart.
Everyone admires Jiheon because of her beauty, brains and kindness. In the perspective of everyone, Jiheon was the perfect Girlfriend. Many had tried to sway her heart but a lot has failed and that both gives you relief and anxiety. You felt relief because Jiheon wasn't taken just yet and you have a slight chance. But sadly, you felt anxious because you were afraid that the bond you two build will be destroyed if you confess to her.
But if you were to choose one threat then it would be the School's Prince, Kim Sunoo. Everything about him was perfect. He was gifted academically, athletic, Visuals, everything you asked for was given to him. But the thing that bugs you out is knowing that Jiheon and Sunoo are childhood friends and neighbors as well. Your at a disadvantage as everything about him was perfect yet you were imperfect in every way.
You could only sigh as the day was boring for you but as the final bell was rung, you packed your bag but Minji, Hanni's friend stood infront of your table stopping you as you gulped in fear.
"Hey, Gimme 5,000 won."
Her demanding voice scares you as your eyes began to shift everywhere but hers.
"I-I don't have that money on me..."
"So? Pull out your card or something. I need that money now."
"I.. I can't I don't have-"
The door opened and Hanni was back from her daily task of throwing the trash because of her tardiness in class. She hated it the most because the punishment didn't make sense but she knows that it's her fault too. Everyone in class knows that Hanni wasn't the girl to be messed with especially when after she threw the trash but Minji, used this to her advantage.
"Hanni, the dweeb isn't listening again."
You gulped in fear as cold sweat began to form on your forehead and hands. You didn't want to get beaten up by Hanni again especially now that you are needed by Jiheon in the club. But as much as you want to move, your body stood there frozen. You heard her footstep closing on you as Hanni sighed and boredly looked at you.
"You don't have Money on you Dweeb?"
"N-No I don't have that money on me"
"Tsk! Fine, here Minji. Just pay me back next time."
You widen your eyes as Minji was also caught of guard by what Hanni just did. Usually, Hanni would beat you up and threaten you just to force you to give them money but today, Hanni acted differently. Minji took the money nonetheless.
"Woah, Alright then. Wanna join me Hanni? I'll be hanging out with that 3rd year hottie."
"Nah I'll pass. I gotta visit my Sister today."
"Eh suit yourself."
Minji shrugged her shoulders and left the room. You on the hand, was still in deep thoughts on why would Hanni help you out. You were confused as Hanni grabbed her bag and fixed her things. She was about to leave the room when you finally spoke.
"T-Thank you!"
You must have been dreaming because there was no way that you will be thanking your bully. Hanni just stared at you and sighed leaving the class with no more words for you. It was truly a confusing moment but you just shrugged it off and went to the club room. Your silent sanctuary. You opened the door and saw Jiheon smiling ear to ear towards you along with the rest of the members.
"Y/N, good thing your here. Were about to start anyway."
You smiled brightly but that died down when your eyes saw Sunoo next to Jiheon. He was all smiles but seeing him close to Jiheon and seeing her laugh with her made you sad. You tried to ignore it but the moment Jiheon said
"Sunoo will be part of our club for the moment as our club will be joining the film club for the upcoming festival."
Obviously everyone was all on it because the school's prince was in their club. You didn't want to be selfish but you have no choice but to accept it.
"But the important thing is, Our club will be doing a theater show and this is where Sunoo's club will help us. Now, I have come up that we will be doing a play called sleeping beauty. Now who will be a leads? Any suggestion?"
This is what made you fear the most because it was preety obvious that Jiheon and Sunoo will be the main leads and what's your position there? Nobody, a nobody. You have no rights to disagree as everyone in the club voted for the two of them. It was painful to see the girl that you like be with someone better than you and you couldn't do anything. You stayed silent hoping that this meeting ended sooner than later.
.
.
.
.
The following days was pure torture for you as seeing them being all flirty with each other breaks your heart. You tried to keep everything in as much as possible as you keep reminding yourself that you have no rights to interfere.
Sunoo was better in every way towards you and you were no match for him. He was gifted while you have to thrive to sharpen your skills just to be recognized by them and if you did showcase them, nobody would even dare to listen to you.
As the days go by, it was pure torture for you but you kept a straight face focusing on making the play successful as it is. But if there was something that you were glad for is that Pham Hanni, your bully seems to have stopped bothering you at all after that time when you thanked her. It also wasn't just Hanni that didn't bother you anymore but even her friends stopped being an annoying bitch towards you.
Though you find it weird, you were glad that Hanni stop bullying you but that torture was replaced with emotional torture as you see Jiheon smiling and laughing with Sunoo. They say that accepting things as they are now is one way of letting yourself free from the pain you are suffering.
But to you that was a difficult task.
Jiheon became a part of your life and for you to let go of the sole reason why you come to school,
To why you still wanna hang in the club room,
To why you had hoped on seeing her smile,
To why you wanna keep moving forward.
It was very difficult for you to let go because if you did, what will you cling into? What hope or motivation will you have to keep moving forward in life? What's left for you to do?
Your mind was filled with more questions than answers as you mindlessly wander the busy halls of the corridors.
.
.
.
The day you dreaded finally arrived. You woke up in a very tired expression even though you had 8 hours of sleep in your body. Your mind was just so exhausted with all the negative thoughts that has filled your mind for the past weeks. You tried your best to accept that you have already lost Jiheon to Mr. Perfect. Everyday, you reminded yourself that you were a loser and a coward for accepting that this was is. You couldn't do anything because you were afraid of change.
Then it hit you. The biggest reason why you cowered out.
.
.
You were scared.
.
.
Not for yourself
.
.
But because
.
.
You were scared
.
.
Of the change that could happen.
.
.
You couldn't bring yourself to change the relationship between you and Jiheon because you were afraid of her Changing her behavior with you. Jiheon was your only friend and a very precious friend to you. Part of loving her is letting her go and seeing her happy.
Her happiness was yours as well.
You tried to place that seed on your mind everyday and today was the day you know that Jiheon will finally be the reason of someone's happiness.
You fixed your attire and left the house where you only live in. Gone were the days where you would greet your parents because there was no reason to greet them anymore. They have left this world and left you behind all on your own.
Upon leaving the house, you notice how dark the clouds were indicating that there's a strong chance that it will rain. You on the other hand could only chuckle softly.
"I guess the universe hates me huh?"
You walked your way towards the school and even though the weather wasn't that great, everything went smoothly for the festival. The festive mood was still felt around the classroom as plenty of classroom has their booth open for all to experience. Seeing the smiles of students made you feel like you lost yours. Even though the school was in such festive mood, everything felt so bland and plain.
You ignored all of this as you continued your trail towards the club room where you were tasked on checking up on the attire of the actors that will use. As you open the door you saw Jiheon in a very beautiful mint green dress. You were star struck as no words was able to describe her beauty. Everything seems to have sparkled seeing her beauty as her eyes landed on you.
"Oh, Y/N how do I look?"
"Beautiful."
It was the only word that you can describe to her but your mouth couldn't say it. You just simply nodded your head as she giggled. The more she showed you her soft side, the more you heart breaks.
"Oh my. You look so preety Jiheon."
Sunoo snapped you back to reality as he himself wore a prince outfit. It was befitting for him considering his title in school and you can tell why many girls would fall for him. He was sparkling just like Jiheon as the two smiled at each other. You sighed and went pass over them trying your best to dissappear on their sights as you wanted to focus on your task.
As the play finally started, many students were all anticipating on seeing how the preetiest girl in school will act towards the prince of the school. It was pretty obvious that everyone wanted to See Sunoo and Jiheon as most of the crowd just doesn't react to other actors at all. But when the pair came out, Cheers and whistles was all that was heard.
Never have you seen Jiheon smile so brightly and shine so perfectly with someone that wasn't you. As much as you admire their amazing chemistry together, the painful scene that was about to unfold infront of your eyes will surely make you realize that you have no space in between the two perfect couple.
The kiss scene where everyone had hope to see, was finally gonna happen. Your heart was starting to crack everytime Sunoo says his lines as he was inching himself closer to Jiheon. As the crowd was at the edge of their seat, you couldn't handle the passionate Kiss the two shared as you damn well that there wasn't suppose to be a kiss scene. It was suppose to be a peck on her cheeks but Sunoo showed everyone his intentions towards the girl. The crowd cheered for them leaving you in pain as you officially lost the girl you admire.
You couldn't handle it anymore as you left the play and walked towards the busy corridors of school not really knowing where to go now.
.
.
.
.
"Hey Minji."
"Sup Hanni."
"Have you seen the dweeb-I mean Y/N?"
"Nope. Haven't seen the loser since morning. Why Look for that loser anyway?"
Hanni could only just sigh as she has noticed how you actually looked more miserable even when she stopped messing with you. She thought that stopping herself from bullying you would be enough closure for all the wrong deeds she did. But the thing that really caught her off guard was when you actually thanked her for saving him.
It wasn't even in her best intention to save you but it's just that she wanted Minji to shut up. She couldn't react properly after you thanked her as she left the classroom flustered and embarrassed. This was her first time seeing someone thank her for the good thing she did and it felt so weird but in a good way. She felt like her body elevated and something heavy was released from her.
To this day, she still can't understand why she, the biggest bully in her class helped a loser like you. But nonetheless, she stopped bullying you and overall stopped being a menace. Hanni was actually scolded preety hard as the reality of things came crashing down on her. She has never seen her Sister this dissapointed in her and it broke her heart hearing and seeing her sister break down all alone in their kitchen. She realized that she needed to help her sister somehow as her sister was her everything.
Since then, Hanni tried to be a better person and even telling her friends to act more appropriately now which they found weird but followed her. The Old headache of a student Hanni was gone, and in the class was the studious Hanni. Some teachers were even surprised by her sudden change of behavior but they also praised Hanni for changing her bad behavior.
While everything was going her way, she couldn't help but feel bad to the person she hurtled the most.
You.
She would cringe at herself remembering the horrible mistreatment she would make you go through and everytime she remembers them, she wanted to beat herself up over and over again. She made it her goal to sincerely apologize to you but your mood everyday just look so gloom and depressing that she couldn't help herself but shy away.
This action of her would only made her more frustrated as she couldn't bring herself towards you. Now she hoped that this event would help her find you but it's like the universe was setting her up not to even see you as everywhere she go, she couldn't find you anywhere. She was getting frustrated as she ruffled her hair aggressively.
"Where in the blue hell is that dweeb?"
She sighed and decided to rest at her favorite spot in school.
The rooftops.
Even though the weather was a bit chilly and the sun was hidden, the rooftops was still the best place for Hanni to collect her thoughts and she would expect that nobody would be in the rooftops considering how the school is very much active. She pushed the door opening to the rooftops and she was greeted with a soft cold breeze from the humid atmosphere above her. But to her suprised, she saw a figure sitting in the edge of the rooftop as her heart began to race as the worst case scenario that she wishes not to encounter is infront of her.
"Who in the right mind-wait, isn't that Y/N?!"
Her eyes widen as she swiftly moved her feet and grabbed him and pulled him into safety. Hanni was fuming with rage because she didn't expect that you wanted to end you life when she hasn't even apologized to you.
"What the hell are you thinking dipshit?! Do you wanna die that badly?!"
Hanni raised her voice as you looked up tired and exhausted but Hanni suddenly came into your view with a very angry face.
"Hanni? Wha-what are you doing up here?"
You sat up as you were completely caught off guard seeing your bully, well your previous bully getting mad at you after tackling you for some unknown reason. Hanni was now a raging bull after hearing your response. She gritted her teeth in annoyance as seeing her mad scared you.
"W-Wait Hanni.. I-I could explain.."
"You better Dipshit. I'm waiting."
Hanni crossed her arms near her chest as she stared at you intently with burning gaze. This was the first time you saw Hanni this mad and you didn't even do anything to provoke her.
"I..I just wanted some time off to think and I went here."
"Why are you even on the edge of the rooftop. You could have died!"
Weird.
You found Hanni acting weird right now. You blinked several times to wake yourself up as you couldn't believe that your bully, Pham Hanni, just told you how you could have died. Hanni, your bully, cares for you.
"I'm sorry Hanni, but... Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"I-I mean w-why do you care if I die?"
"You asshole!"
Hanni punched your shoulder but to your surprise, her punch wasn't like the punches she used to give you instead her punch felt like it was out of worry and not out of bullying. It may sound weird to others but that's just how her punch felt right now. She then grabbed you by the collar and pulled you close to her face where you saw her face up close.
"If you died, I'll forever regret of not apologizing to you properly. So don't go fucking around and die just yet!"
Her eyes were furious but you could see that there was a few tears forming on her eyes and this really made you feel weird. Add in that seeing Hanni up close made you saw how beautiful she really was. Her soft skin and plump cheeks made it clear that her cheeks are very squishable. Her eyes who's burning and piercing you right now captivated you and you saw how her lips were perfectly carved.
"What? Why are you staring at me? Answer me Y/N!"
"H-Huh? Y-Yes! I-I won't die just yet."
"Not just yet. Never. Okay? Got that?"
Her demanding voice made you snap your weird thoughts away from her as she sighed and removed her grip on your collar and separated the two of you.
"Anyway, Like I said. I wanna apologize to you for all what I did and I know that even if I apologized now. That wouldn't be enough for all the pain I cost you. So if you wanna retaliate, sue me, or even push me off the edge. You have my consent cause I, Pham Hanni apologize."
Hanni respectfully apologized to you with her body fully bowed towards you. This day was full of surprises for you but seeing Hanni fully bow to you and apologize to you made you confused. One part of you hated her for making your life miserable but one part of you also want to accept her apology because you saw it yourself on how much Hanni has changed ever since she covered you from Minji. You wanted to really believe that Hanni has changed yet you still didn't fully trust her.
"Hanni, y-you sure there's nothing behind this apology? Because honestly speaking What you did to me really made me lose hope in living anymore."
Hanni bit her lip realizing how much of a douche bag she was. She knows that accepting her apology would be more of a stretch than she expected.
"But if there's one thing I learned from Jiheon is that people deserve second chances. The moment you covered me from Minji, I was confused but seeing you be the opposite of who you used to be gave me the idea that you really are changing for the best."
Hanni looked up and her big soft pair of eyes made you flustered as you looked to the side avoiding her gaze.
"S-So Hanni. I accept your apology but you better behave-"
Hanni cutted you off by hugging you tightly. Her action only made you shocked and confused as you have never, and I mean EVER saw her react like this. Pham Hanni, your bully is now hugging you and smiling so brightly at you.
"Thank you! Thank you so much Dweeb! Errr I mean Y/N!"
You really didn't know what to do but your instinct was the one who controlled your body. Your hand traveled to her hair as you stroke her gently making Hanni widen her eyes and realizing what she was doing.
"Ah!"
She immediately pushed you away as you landed on the floor flat.
"Ouch."
"Oh no, I'm sorry Dweeb-I mean Y/N. I'm sorry."
Hanni quickly went to you offering you her hand as you could only sigh. You accepted her hand and both felt weird when their hands touch. Hanni has heen bullying Y/N for some quite time yet this was the first time when both realize something.
You were obviously suprised by how small and soft Hanni's hand were. You expected her hands to be rough Considering she was a bully but her hands felt like it's been taken care of very well.
Hanni was so surprised by your hand. Never once would she feel like her hand melted on someone else's touch other than her sister. Growing up, she was quite sensitive to things and she hated rough hands as she finds them disgusting yet right now, you were proving her wrong. Her hand felt so natural to be with yours as the two of you stared for each other for a while before Hanni realized what she was doing.
She immediately helped you up and pulling her hand away  and your hand felt cold when her touch was gone from your grip.
"A-Anyway, what are you doing here Hanni?"
You tried to break the awkward atmosphere around the two of you as Hanni avoided eye contact with you as her cheeks were suddenly heating up.
"T-This is my spot."
"Oh, should I leave?"
"What? No just stay. I mean, I don't mind sharing my spot with you."
"But am I allowed to?"
"Aish. Of course you are. Y-Your my f-f-friend now so I don't mind..."
Hanni pouted her lips as she felt embarrassed saying you were her friend but for you, you were all smiles as you couldn't believe that your bully became your friend. Just when you thought that Jiheon was your only friend, An unexpected surprised came to you and Hanni become your friend.
"This is... Weirdly amusing"
You and Hanni ended up talking about a lot of things as you were surprised that Hanni actually has a lot common things towards you. One of them is the love towards basketball. Hanni tried her best not to tease you about not joining the basketball team but because of your lack of confidence, you ended up not joining. Seeing you all down made Hanni feel sad as well. Sure, she was used to seeing you all sad because she used to bully you but now that she was your friend, she wanted to help you get over that lack of confidence you have.
"Hey Y/n listen to me."
"Hmm?"
"You need to trust yourself. Now listen up, the school Varsity team would be recruiting some fresh legs next month so why don't I help you?"
Your eyes widen in surprise by her propsal. You weren't even sure if Hanni was saying the truth or if she's just playing with her feelings but you ended up agreeing to her. She was all smile hearing your answer as she then came close to your startling you even more. She began to observe you face as she pouted out of her habit whenever she's thinking of something.
"Hmm... Have you ever removed your glasses before?"
"Umm.. Only when I go to the shower or sleep."
"Well take them off."
"Wh-What? Why?"
"Just take them off wil you."
Not wanting to anger the small girl anymore, you removed your glasses as Hanni's pout suddenly turned into a shocked expression.
She has never expected that the person she was bullying looked so differently when he removed his glasses. Hanni was captivated by you facial looks without your glasses as she immediately can tell that without your glasses, you imitated a strong aura which really attracted her. You saw how her cheeks suddenly was turning pink.
"Hanni, you alright?"
"Y-Yeah. You should get a haircut too."
"Should I? But I don't think having a new haircut helps me in getting into the team."
"Nonsense. Trust me you need to get a haircut. Also this should be your cut."
You noticed how skilled and detailed Hanni is when it comes to hairstyles as you couldn't help but smile at her genuine help. It was a weird way of befriending your bully but this was better than having Hanni as your bully till highschool. You had once again a reason to go to school.
.
.
TIMESKIP: 1 WEEK LATER
.
.
Murmurs was heard all around the corridors as all eyes were on you. It made you feel uncomfortable but remembering the words of advice from Hanni, you brushed off your uncomfortable feeling and walked the hallways of the school.
Everyone couldn't believe that a new student has transfered to their school during their midterms as everyone began to spread of the word. Everywhere you look, you can see everyone staring at you and you just smiled at them. That smile Immediately made the students go nuts especially the girls who began to put makeup all over their faces as they try their best to win you over. Once you were at your classroom, you sat at your usual seat and everyone in class began to whisper at each other seeing a new face but Hanni was smirking from the sight of everyone.
During that 1 week span, Hanni helped you have more confidence by being yourself and actually having a haircut. It took sometime to decide on what haircut you would have as Hanni was your personal assistant on choosing the right haircut. Both of you agreed to go out together to pick some clothes and for once, you actually had fun picking clothes unlike before where you would just buy online. Hanni encourage you to talk to the sales man/lady about the clothes you have and Hanni would be all smile when she saw you casually talking to them.
It wasn't such a big improvement but Hanni was glad that you had atleast some confidence to enter the class like nothing happened to you. She notice how Minji stared at you intensely and she even bit her lips.
"Hey Hanni, wanna bet I can make him my boyfriend?"
Hanni just rolled her eyes at her and smirked.
"I bet you won't."
"Watch me."
Minji was about to turn towards you when you walked past her and went to Hanni smiling.
"Ah, here's the hair wax I borrowed Hanni. Thanks."
"No problem Y/N."
Everyone gasped hearing the words of Hanni. They couldn't believe that the quiet and bullied classmate of theirs suddenly turned into a different person. A more attractive person. It's as if they were looking at a new and reborn version of you which was true. The entirety of the day was how other students came in waiting for you to come out and this really made you uncomfortable. Hanni was the one who shooed them away with her intimidating glare which made them scared as they all left.
"Thanks Hanni. I owe you one."
"You owe me a lot Dweeb. Hehehe~"
Hanni brightly smiled at you and you still haven't got used to how beautiful her smile is. Everything about what you thought of Hanni was immediately changed after hanging out with her. You though she was a no good for nothing student when she in fact was actually quite smart. Hanni grabbed your wrist as the two of you headed to the cafeteria as it was packed with students trying to get their hands on the special jam filled bread. But instead of being the first ones, they were shocked to see how many people have already lined up for it. Hanni pouted her lips to the side as she found it annoying that she couldn't be able to eat her bread.
But the crowd suddenly gasped making you two look at the commotion was all about and there your heart cracked a bit seeing Jiheon all smiles as she waves at the crowd and beside her was her boyfriend Kim Sunooo, the prince of the school. They became a couple after that play and hearing about it only brought nothing but sadness towards you yet you ignored it for the moment.
"Oh it's Jiheon Unnie. Oh well, I wish they have left later on...."
Hanni said making you look at the girl as her lips pouted. It was habit you saw from her whenever she would be sulking and you honestly find it adorable. Seeing her in such state made decide to give her a hand.
"I'll be right back."
"Huh? Where you going?"
You didn't answer her yet her eyes solely focused on you diving into the wave of hungry students squeezing themselves into the crowd. You were Getting pushed and pulled around yet you continued to push through the crowded and congested line. Hanni's eyes never left you as she felt so bad seeing you get pushed around. Her heart was being shattered seeing you struggle as she wishes nothing more than for you to be safe.
But all of her worries would be washed away when you got out of the line catching your breath and showing Hanni a warm smile.
"Hanni, I got the bread."
"You idiot. You could have gotten hurt. Are you okay?"
She placed her hand on your face observing it which you could only chuckle at her. Call yourself selfish but you liked the feeling of Hanni's touch on your face as it just keeps you at ease. You also found it weird that Hanni is somewhat was able to calm you down or even cheer you up whenever you needed it and it's been just a week since you two buried the past and moved to the future as friends. You held her hand to your face and leaned closer to her smiling brightly.
"I'm alright Hanni. No need to get worried."
Hanni was taken back by your sudden bold action. The space between you was shortened because you leaned in closer towards her. Her cheeks immediately turned red seeing you up close and wearing a proud bright smile. She could tell that her heartbeat was racing yet she tried her best not to act flustered.
"A-Alright. L-Let's just go..."
Hanni walked away from you making you chuckle at her cute reaction.
"Ahhh she's so cute....wait, did I say my Bully is cute?"
You shook your head and continued to chuckle as you followed Hanni from behind. Unbeknownst to you was that someone was watching from afar your interaction with Hanni and this didn't sit well with her whatsoever.
.
.
.
.
It's finally the last day of school and every student was finally gonna enjoy their summer vacation ahead of them but before that was the mighty final exams. This was the giant mountain that they have to climb before they could tatse that sweet sweet summer atmosphere. Luckily for you, you didn't have to worry about your grades because all of them were all straight A's and if you did fail, your final grade will be at most a B- or C+ which means you passed. So you were really relaxing in your room except that there was someone who's really worried about their own grade.
"Damn it! Hey Y/N. How do you get this again?"
You smile and took a seat next to her. Hanni has been hanging out with most of the time. Although you were busy with your club activities and basketball training, you still find time to hangout with her and she actually appriciate how much effort you give her especially when you have a tight schedule.
Hanni would be lying if she say she didn't like you.
Yes, your once Bully turned to the closes friend has feelings for you.
When that first though came to her mind, she wanted to vomit because of how absurd that thought was especially considering that both of you were just starting your friendship and there was no no possibility of her falling for you. That equation wasn't even formulated yet but as time goes on, the more you give effort to hanging out with her, helping her study, and even helping to her sister's job caught her attention.
The speculation of her falling for you got stronger when Minji admitted to her that she likes you. She shouldn't have been feeling so scared and worried but when Minji confessed to her, it made her feel so scared that she could lose you. It also didn't help that Hanni would see you with Jiheon all smiles and laughter. She felt so lost whenever she sees you happy with someone else and not her but she knows that she shouldn't be selfish as well, after all, she's just your friend.
But you keep giving her false hope whenever you appear in her and most of them was were when she needed you the most. When her sister's job was being threaten to be removed, you pulled up and showed everyone the files that her sister's business is legal and labeled in the government. Nobody has stepped up for her or her sister except you. You were silently inserting yourself in the Pham's household without even realizing it. Hanni realized that you weren't longer the Dweeb who would shy away from everything. No, you had become someone better. Someone who pushed out of their boundary just to help someone, someone who was ready to help, someone that Hanni needed, Someone that Hanni loved.
"I heard that your club will be having a picnic at the park this weekend."
Hanni said as you nodded your head at her.
"Yeah, it's like a goodbye ceremony to our seniors who will be graduating this year."
"I see, so Jiheon will be there right?"
"Y-Yeah, of course."
You didn't see how Hanni frowned a little hearing you stutter when she mentioned Jiheon. She knows that she has no chance to winning you over someone who's perfect and everyone admires.
"I also heard from Minji that you two will be watching the fireworks showcase during the weekend. It's at the Beach right?"
"Yeah..."
She tried her best not to sound dissapointed but she couldn't. She had hoped that you wouldn't join Jiheon during the weekend to hang out with her but it seems that you already have plans ahead. This only made Hanni more frustrated as she grabbed her stuff surprising you.
"Woah, where you going Hanni?"
"Home. Thanks for having me over."
Hanni bowed to you as she grabbed her stuff and placed it all in her bag then left in a hurry. It made you feel terrible seeing Hanni leave you so quickly as you wished nothing more but to spend more time with her. You have grown fond of your bully as she was now a changed person. There was little to no signs of her past self resurfacing and this made you happy because you finally have a friend you can hang out freely. But there was a little problem.
You had completely fallen for Hanni.
It was weird to say the least how much your heart always calls out for Hanni. Seeing her change so much for the better was a great thing because you finally realized that Hanni turned into a bully because of her environment growing up and how her family turned out to be. You wanted to help her in every way as you would go out of your way to help her in all possible way to at least make her feel at ease but the unexpected thing happened. As time goes one doing all this for Hanni, you ended up falling in love with her.
Some people may call you crazy for falling in love with your bully but that's just how it works for you.
But there's one thing stopping you from really realizing that you liked Hanni, Baek Jiheon.
Jiheon and Sunoo's relationship isn't going well lately and Jiheon has only you to be her support wall as seeing her cry breaks you heart as well. Jiheon was your first love in your life so she has a spot for your heart but Hanni was slowly making her way into your heart as well. You can't just choose both even if they were both important people in your life.
Jiheon, the girl that showed you that there will always be hope for you. That there is a light in every dark days you have and there's always a tomorrow to look forward too. Jiheon showed you what love can do to a person and how much that can motive them to be better.
Hanni, the girl that showed you that change is the only permanent thing in the world. Everyone can change for the better or worse but at the end of the day, it will be your choice on what change you will do. Hanni showed you that someone can change for the better and it's never to late to try things you wanted to do.
This frustrated you as you don't know the define answer to this question. But this weekend you might have the proper answer to what really is best for you. With a heavy sigh you jumped into your bed with a distress expression.
"I hope what I'm gonna choose is the right one..."
.
.
.
.
"The park feels so nice right Y/n?"
Jiheon smiled brightly at you. No matter how much she flashes you her sweet bright smile, you will never get tired of it even if she does it a thousand times in one day.
"Yeah, it does."
Everything was set-up perfectly as even the atmosphere was perfect. Everyone all had a smile because even though this was a sad day, it was also a day to be celebrated because of the accomplishment that the seniors are graduating. Jiheon being the best leader of the club made sure that the seniors feel the love they deserve as she handed them gifts as thank you for their efforts.
This has always been what Jiheon is good at, being kind and cherishing anyone no matter who they are. So it was quite easy why you fell for her and to why Sunoo fell for her too. As the orange sky painted the sky, Jiheon's Beauty reflected it's beauty as a soft breeze past her her by. Your eyes saw how glowing Jiheon was as she adjusted her hair behind her ear. Her smile that never seems to fade just shined so brightly that it captivates you.
"Say Y/N."
"Y-Yeah?"
"Can you follow me for a bit? I wanna show you something."
Jiheon grabbed your hand and you felt how soft her hands were. It wasn't everyday when Jiheon showed you skinship and when she does, it made your flutter a thousand times than normal and right now, Jiheon looked so beautiful as she walked you around the park.
On the back of your mind, this felt like a date which you have always dreamed of doing. From laying on the bed dreaming of the day when You would take Jiheon by her hand and walking in the park. This was your dream and right now it was the reality of things. Everything was going your way with Jiheon as she smiled at you and walked with her hand in hand. But one part of you felt hurt knowing this was the everyday view of Sunoo. It felt so wrong liking someone who's already taken.
"Y/N, you have changed a lot huh?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean appearance wise, you looked more... A-Attractive and your shy demeanor is now gone. Heck, Your even part of the Varsity team now."
She proudly look at you as your heart melted. Everything you have dream of doing with Jiheon was happening right infront of you yet something didn't sit right with you. It feels like there was a catch with how this was presented to you. It felt like there was a string attached to this and was a set up to something very emotionally draining for you.
The two of you walked all around the park admiring the scenery around as both of you were enjoying each other's silence. No word's was needed between the two of you inorder to enjoy the walk.
"We're here."
Jiheon finally spoke as both of you were standing un the park bridge. The small river below you made it so relaxing as you looked up and saw that the sun was setting and darkness will soon engulf the sky.
"It's a nice place."
"I know right. This place is my little sanctuary. Well I don't think it's little considering it's open to the public."
Jiheon chuckled as you smiled at her. A memory flashed through your mind as your smile only got brighter remembering the first time Hanni apologized to you.
"Y/N, I really wanna thank you for being there for me all the time. I wouldn't have gotten this far if you weren't there."
Jiheon's words caught you off guard as you really didn't expect the sudden words comming from Jiheon. You were obviously the person who admired Jiheon the most and was one of the reason why you continued on but to hear her admit this, made you realize that you were important in Jiheon's life.
"I merely did anything."
Jiheon shook her head and and grasped both your hands as she held it tight. This made you blush at the sudden contact as Jiheon giggle admiring her hands on to yours.
"Y/N, that nothing you speak off is a lot. Whenever I feel like giving up, you were there to cheer me back up. Even before you changed, you were my biggest pillar of support and I really, really couldn't thank you enough but..."
She trailed off and suddenly looked at you with an expression of uncertainty. Something that you were accustomed off whenever Jiheon had trouble with something. Everytime you see Jiheon make that face, it breaks you to pieces and you wished nothing more to help her smile. But something tells you that this issues of her is not something you can easily help.
"But an unexpected thing happen. Call me a crazy bitch for this but I... I actually liked you Y/N."
A phrased that got you frozen on your feet. The words that only played on your mind and imagination over and over again Hoping it would become a reality was now a reality. Your ears heard it very well.
Baek Jiheon.
The girl that became your beacon of hope when things weren't going their way.
The girl that you found amazing and beautiful.
The girl that protected you from the harsh reality.
The girl that made you heart ready to burst.
But
She was also the girl that made you hate yourself.
The girl that cause you so much pain.
The girl that confused you.
Yet
She was still the girl that you loved.
A sad smile appeared on your face. You retraced your steps of thoughts and realized that you already have an answer to your dillema. Jiheon was no doubt the best girl you have ever met and there was no way that the time you and Jiheon spent will be replaced.
"I liked you. I was too afraid to confess to you because I was scared that my confession could destroy the relationship we have. So I tried my best to ignore it and then Sunoo came and I though I should give him a chance. But I thought I would forget my feelings for you but they only grew more. And I ended up breaking up with Sunoo because I don't want to hurt him anymore. "
You were silent as you took this all in. The girl that you liked actually likes you back. That was the only thought that was stuck in your head and you couldn't believe it. You don't know what kind of string pulls was happening somewhere but this was it, Jiheon has finally confessed to you. The moment you have been dreaming off, the moment Jiheon say-
"Y/N, I love you."
3 words, 8 letters. A dream come true for you as Jiheon stares at you with a flustered cheeks and uneasy eyes. You can tell that Jiheon was very genuine with her emotions towards you. This made you flustered as well as your cheeks turn to bright pink leaving you a blushing mess. But time wasn't on your side. The longer the silence keeps playing, The worse case scenario will play out for the both of you. You feared that everything will be awkward between the two of you. With a gulp, you took all the courage you have and finally spoke.
"Jiheon, I-"
.
.
.
.
"Can't believe Minji got sick on a day like this..."
Hanni spoke to herself while sitting all alone on the beach side observing everyone happily smiling with their friends or loved ones. Today was supposed to be a happy day for Hanni as school was finally over and she gets to watch the fireworks with her friend but she got sick last minute. It also made her feel more sad considering that you are with Jiheon.
Her mood suddenly turned gloomy realizing that you must have the best time with Jiheon.
"He must be all smiles spending time with the girl she likes…while I'm out here, all alone watching the fireworks like the usual. Shit, why should I feel sad anyway? I have always watched the fireworks all alone, what's so different this time?"
Hanni tried to cover up the real reason why she was feeling sad this time unlike the times she was happy being all alone. The fact that a certain Dweeb caught her attention and shifted her perspective towards him. She chuckled at the fact that she was the one who helped him change himself yet she didn't expect herself to fall for him even more.
She saw how you were originally and what you really are a person. A guy with a big heart that was just scared to act because he lacks self confidence in himself. Something that she helped you overcome. But the reason she fell for you wasn't because you changed, it's because of what you showed her even before you changed. It was only now she saw her own mistake of bullying such a person that she felt so wrong falling in love with you. If she can, then she'll do anything to push you to Jiheon because she herself isn't worthy enough.
She can't seem to forgive herself for giving you so much pain and that's one reason of keeping her away from fully confessing to you. In her perspective, you deserve the world, you deserve someone more better, you deserve someone who would love you unconditionally and Hanni has all those things in an X mark.
She looked around hoping to remove those thoughts away as her eyes saw how the beach was filled with couples, families, friends and the like. But majority of them were couples getting all lovely dovey towards each other and a sour expression grew over her face.
"There's no way I will act like that. That's embarrassing!"
Hanni could only sigh as she observe the sea flowing through the sea. The sky has already turn dark and the moon was seen slowly climbing up it's peak but as of the moment, the moon's reflection can be see on the sea. The sound of the sea waves was weirdly relaxing for Hanni as she yawned a little. There was a soft breeze that past her by as she sat comfortably on her solo spot.
"I wonder if things worked out for them. I should probably be ready to face Y/N next school yea-"
"Hanni!"
.
.
.
THUMP THUMP
.
.
.
She froze on her spot. She didn't want to turn her back as she knows who was the person calling her name out. Her heart began to beat faster and all her thoughts began to be in shambles. She could hear your footstep getting closer to her and she wanted to run away right now. But her body was frozen shut as you took a seat next to her.
You didn't speak as you admire the moon's reflection and the sea breeze passing by. Hanni was the opposite, she was staring at you intently. She observed your handsome side profile as her eyes trails every part of your face. From your sharp jaw, small round ears, fluffy messy hairstyle, your Adam's apple and finally to your lips. In her view, your lips looked so perfect for hers as she wanted to know how would your lips locked with hers.
She almost lost herself but she snapped her thoughts away and realize that this wasn't the best situation for her heart and mental state. Something bad could happen or even worse, she might do something she could regret and she didn't want that. She suddenly stood up and turned around but you were quicker than her and grabbed her hand holding it firmly. Hanni silently squealed from the sudden contact as her back was turned against you.
"Why... Why are you here?"
Hanni managed to ask without sounding like a broken person yet you heard her voice. Hanni was at the brink of crying as this broke your heart.
"I wanted to.... See you."
Everything was wrong. This was wrong for Hanni. She didn't like where this was going and her heart was beating fast yet her mind was so confused and hurt. She doesn't want to believe it because she's not the one and she will never be the one for you. She can't accept herself being the person you choose over your first love.
"You could have just called me or texted me to meet up. No need to see me here."
"But I WANTED to see you. I NEEDED to see you tonight. Hanni."
Hanni bit her lips from making enough noise. Her eyes began to show tears as this was getting to painful for her. Her mind didn't want this happen because of the torture she would go through yet her heart was telling her to face it, To face you, to face the person she love.
"Y/N, S-Stop whatever y-your planning. I-I don't wanna to hear it. A-and let m-me go.."
Her body was beginning to shake from the stress of her emotions and her voice was beginning to crack indicating that she was close to tearing up and breaking down. You were no Idiot and you can tell that you were the reason why she was in this state of confusion, of pain and frustration. And tonight was the night you will help her clear all those emotions of hers.
"Pham Hanni, I'm not letting you go especially with how you stole my heart."
Hanni felt like she was just shot straight to her heart hearing those words. It felt so right and at the same time, it felt so wrong to hear those words out of your mouth. Her walls were beginning to break down as small drops of tears began to make their way down to her cheeks.
"S-Stop b-Bullshitiing M-Me and j-just go, leave me already!! Leave me be DWEEB!!"
Hanni's emotion was difficult to control right now and her defense mechanism from you was her screaming and scaring you but that didn't do anything. Instead of backing away, you closed the distance between you and her as you hugged her from behind. Hanni visibly yelped in surprised by your action but she also felt a soft, warm, protective embrace around her small body.
She hated this, she didn't deserve any of this but how come you were so stubborn especially with her.
"Let me go! L-Let me go!!"
Hanni squirmed in attempt to free herself from you hug but the more Hanni resist the more you hugged her closer to you. You don't want to let go of Hanni anymore and you want to protect her at all cost.
"Why... Why can't you let me go... Why do you... Like me..."
Hanni couldn't hold it any longer as she began to cry her heart out. It was painful for you to see and hear Hanni cry infront of you as you could only hug her and explain your take.
"Call me crazy, but ever since you helped me be a better version of myself, I started looking at you differently. I saw different sides of yours that I couldn't see before. The way you tried your best to change yourself made me proud and inspired to do the same. And seeing the side that you rarely show made me realize that you're beautiful, preety, kind hearted, hardworking girl. "
Hanni's strain walls showed cracked as she listened to you.
"Gone were the times when you were called the bully and now is called the the A student in class. How can I not love you when you helped me without any conditions and stayed by my side when I needed it too."
More cracks appeared on the walls.
"I admired Jiheon because of her angelic demeanor but the more I learn about and get to know you, the more I was getting myself deeper and deeper towards you."
"H-How can you say that you l-liked me? I-I bullied you and gave you painful memories. Why do you still love me?"
Hanni turned around and faced you. Her eyes were sad and her tears werw flowing nonstop as you began to stroke her hair.
"Yes you bullied me and I will never forget the pain you gave me."
Hanni avoided your gaze by looking down with her head head hanged low. This was what scared Hanni because there was no justification of what she did towards you yet you only smiled at her.
"But you also changed me and made me a fighter Hanni. You bullied me yet if it weren't for that bullying. I wouldn't be here talking to you, You probably didn't change for the better, and I'll forever torture myself seeing Jiheon happy with Sunoo. You get what I mean? It's like a butterfly effect. None of this would had happened if you didn't bullied me. I wouldn't be here confessing to you because I....."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"I love you Hanni."
Hanni's walls broke down and she couldn't hide it anymore. Her heart won at the end of the day as she cupped your cheeks and pulled you closer to her lips and finally closing the gap as you felt a soft pair of peach flavored lips.
Your world froze momentarily as your lips touched hers. Sparks and fireworks was all over your body. Your mind went haywire before going back online as Hanni pulled herself away from your lips. Her cheeks flushed red as she stared at you with her preety brown eyes. You touched your lips and stared at Hanni and it finally dawn at you at what transpired.
"Y/N. Do you really, really love me? Even after all what I did. You still love me?"
Her face still showed uncertainty but there was also hope now present unlike before. You gulped and took in a deep breath. Your answer to her question will determine what relationship will you have with Hanni.
"Hanni, I already have forgiven you when you apologized ro me. The past is past and what I want to look forwards too is how I'll spend my future with you. I Wil love you even if you turned to an ant, a bear or even a wolf. I love you Pham Hanni. I love you to the moon and back. I love-"
You were immediately cut off by the familiar peach flavored lips as Hanni kissed your lips shutting you up. Once again, her lips just send electrifying tingles all over your body and it also made feel relaxed and loved. You pulled her closer to you as you deepened the kiss.
.
.
BANG
.
.
Both of you were engulfed by a red light from the sky as both of you pulled away and looked up the sky as fireworks showcase finally began. Multiple fireworks began to explode in the air as the crowd was all mesmerized by the view. But you looked at Hanni as she looked at you two. Both your hearts began to beat again as Hanni pulled you close as your foreheads were at each other's.
"I love you too Y/N. I love you to the moon and back."
She gave you a heartfelt smile that was filled with happiness and love. And you showed your own smiled at her as your heart finally was at ease. You choose the person that your heart desired and didn't listen to your mind. You already went through a rough first love with Jiheon but Hanni, was the perfect love for you.
You could only laugh at the back of your mind realizing how your love story was so unique.
It started from bullying,
To her apologizing to you,
To her helping you change,
To see her change herself as well,
To being friends,
And now
Was finally lovers.

My beloved baby Pikachu I bring Pokémon ideas~
Eddie as ghost type gym leader whose gym looks like a metal concert and he has his sweetheart strapped to his back at all times
Steve as a water/fighting type gym leader whose gym is half a pool. Everyone is surprised to find this guy in a soft pastel sweater, tight jeans, and the fluffiest hair is the leader. Until he brings put his nail bat as the battle starts.
Everyone thinks they hate each other because they seem polar opposite but no one notices the skull ring on Steve's left hand nor the soft purple sweater Eddie sometimes wears.
They're married your honor!
The Party is a group of newbie trainers that get taken under their wings of course.
🖤❤️🖤❤️🐼
AHHHHH!!! PANDA I LOVE YOU, I already freaked out in dms with you but I’mma say it again: I LOVE YOUR BRAIN, you get ALLLLL the forehead kisses 🥹🥹🥹 I’m sooo gonna ramble away. Maybe not a full fic but my god I’m obsessed. (It’s a full fic, with a surprise pov!)
We’re going to mix up all the gens together (so if you only know some Pokémon, I’ll include pictures at the bottom of the ones I mentioned)
ALSO: if you have any ideas for anyone else’s Pokémon, let me knowwwww.
Onto my rambling fic under the cut 🥰
Here’s the thing, when Dustin decided to take on the gym challenge, he had no idea what he was going to expect.
He didn’t think picking a grass type to start could both hurt and help him between each gym. But Snivy was a little spitfire and like him; dramatic. She didn’t like any of the nicknames he threw out at her. She also didn’t like her pokeball, instead she preferred to sit on his head.
All of his friends were also doing the challenge but he was getting distracted by figuring out more information on each Pokémon instead of just battling. They’re all ahead of him, which, is okay it’s annoying but’s fine.
Especially when he ran into Steve.
Dustin was supposed to take on the fairy gym next but he heard the leader was ruthless. So, he decided to train up a bit. Maybe even evolve Natu and Trapinch. But instead of that, he was grumbling as he carried his very much knocked out, Trapinch to the Pokémon center instead of battling more.
Servine was walking next to him now, too big for staying on top of him when walking. She was also grumbling in her own way, crossed arms and nose in the air.
“We’re trying to get them to evolve, Servine, not knock them out!” He threw out at her getting closer to the center, “can’t believe I let you get your way all the time”
She apparently didn’t like that information and huffed before walking away, which would normally be fine if they weren’t in a new town. So, instead of reaching the Center like he wanted, he turns around to follow her. Returning Trapinch to his ball for now.
“Come ON, Servine I didn’t mean it like that! You’re so good at everything but-” he immediately knocked into somebody and knocked to the floor, “fuck, ow. Dude!”
Looking up he finds a guy, probably in his early twenties with a Mimikyu sitting on his shoulder while a tiny Pumpkaboo floats next to him. Which is a weird combo with the dude’s outfit choice of a soft looking yellow sweater and light wash jeans. “Not my fault you weren’t looking, dude”
Dustin glares up at him before getting up and dusting his legs off, “hey! I’m only looking for my Pokémon, she ran off from me!” Looking around he can’t tell which direction she actually went in, “by any chance you from around here?”
The guy makes a funny assumed face, both ghost pokémon snicker as well- which is so confusing. But he’s not too concerned for that, more so about the fact that his goddamn starter ran off.
“Yeah, you could say I’m from around here. What’s the Pokémon? A tiny Bidoof? Oh or is it a little Oddish?” He laughs and makes a weird hand movement that clearly both ghosts know and move away, “they got a name? That’d be way easier”
Crossing his arms he looks away, “Servine, and no. She didn’t like anything I came up with, so”
The guy’s laugh dies down and he frowns, “what, were the names lame or-” he shakes his head, “you’re upset, sorry, I’m Steve. Let’s find your Pokémon instead of bickering”
“I’m Dustin, and- SERVINE!” His eyes widen as the tiny Pumpkaboo (seriously how is that Pumpkaboo that small?) leads his Servine towards them, “I’m sorry, seriously, you’re the best and that was uncalled for. Are you okay?”
Servine nods and curls into his arms. He doesn’t bother saying anything else to her, cuddles her close and turns to find Steve picking up Mimikyu and whispering to Pumpkaboo, “Thanks. Seriously”
Steve smiles, “no problem, Oz here is pretty good at finding things.” He looks at his watch before wincing, “I gotta run, we’re gonna be late. You at the fairy gym?”
What the- “how do you know?”
Steve gives another funny look before shrugging, “Got an eye for these things, anyway, next gym is ghost. Be wary of him, he’s a little, hm, much. Yeah?”
All he can do is nod and watch as Steve just walks away.
Tumblr media
Fairy gyms are brutal, even with Trapinch evolving into Vibrava. His saving grace was Slugma and that was it still rough since it’s fire isn’t that effective against fairy.
Maybe he should’ve gone with more poison types.
But that was two days ago, and now he’s making his way towards the next town and their gym. He is wary. Not only because of what Steve told him but because of running into Lucas.
(Lucas had decided on a water type, Totodile. Which was a little surprising for Lucas but Dustin didn’t question it, the little Totodile was energetic and lovable.)
He was minding his own business trying to figure out whether or not he could, technically, learn how to speak in the Pokémon’s language. When a blue bundle ran towards him, looking around he spots Lucas trying to catch his breath. “Hey! I thought you would’ve been passed this one”
They play catch up and once it’s all been said and done, Lucas shows him where the gym is. It looks fairly normal on the outside but Lucas swears it’s a whole other world inside.
“It’s like a concert, and there’s an actual audience too! Which was overwhelming at first, but once I got my footing it was like they weren’t there” Lucas explains, stopping only once their in front of a normal looking gym, Lucas laughs and shakes his head, “yeah that was my first expression too. I think you’ll enjoy it. Might have a hard time”
He looks away from the building to raise an eyebrow at him, “what does that mean?”
“Dude you picked a grass type as your starter! And you have no dark types!”
Rolling his eyes, “thanks for the encouragement, I’m sure I could handle it. Even with the disadvantages.”
Lucas looked like he didn’t believe him, but it didn’t bother him. Their whole party looked at him funny when he went with a grass type. Hell, Max made fun of him for it.
It didn’t matter, the gym challenge is turning out to be nothing he wanted to do once he’s able. He wanted to be a professor anyway. This was just temporary, even if he gets beat a bunch of times.
Walking inside the gym, he bypasses the annoying tips guy at right next to the door and makes his way to find the actual battle area. Lucas gave him the directions, it was confusing he said.
Sure enough, there’s a goddamn maze and cords everywhere.
After what feels like hours, he makes it to the end and is faced with a stage. Cords and what looks like vines everywhere, sure enough a small audience is there too. It looks all badass and a mix between rock and metal.
As he opens his mouth the lights go away and he has to immediately cover his ears as a loud beat starts. There’s a guitar being played even louder, clearer too. A spot light hits the stage and now he knows who’s playing.
Standing in the middle of the stage is a man. Long frizzy hair, leather jacket over a t-shirt with a band on it, ripped black jeans and black shoes. His guitar really completes the look, red with black lines all over.
The guy plays for a few minutes before stopping and walking closer, “Welcome to my metal concert, you ready for your ass to be handed to you?”
Right as he’s about to open his mouth a little orange and brown blur pops up behind the gym leader, it looks oddly familiar.
The man follows his gaze and groans, shifting his guitar to his back and focusing on the tiny Pokémon next to him, “Ozzy, we talked about this! Either stay in your ball, off the battle field or at home.”
Dustin blinks, moving closer he finds that the tiny Pokémon is a Pumpkaboo. That’s definitely moving and saying something back, which makes the guy shake his head before glancing around.
“Uh-“
“Hold on, I’m trying to find- HONEY LOVE! Come get your child!”
There’s no movement but he hears a snort, then the tiny Pokémon moves away and he sees the gym leader shake his head again, “sorry, that little guy is only a baby. Let’s get this show on the road, shall we?”
The guy’s smile is wild and maybe Lucas was right.
An hour later and Dustin is sitting on the edge of the stage freshly beat and definitely ready to call it quits for the day.
“Did Eds give you a rough time?”
His head snaps up, there’s Steve with Mimikyu on his head and a Vaporeon sitting next to him.
“I just need to do some more training.” He doesn’t want to admit that yes, the gym leader, Eddie, definitely gave him a rough time. It was fun, but Eddie was even more brutal than the fairy gym.
Maybe he just needs to catch a dark type.
Steve nods slightly, making Mimikyu squeak. “Doesn’t hurt to train more, V here” he pats the Vaporeon’s head, causing a pur to happen, “wasn’t the greatest battler, we had to do lots of training. Before you do any of that, want to come have dinner with us? You and your Pokémon can all rest for the night”
Tumblr media
Dustin can’t figure out how he didn’t put two and two together. He feels like an idiot right now.
“What do you mean you’re also a gym leader? The final one at that?! Why didn’t you tell me?!”
Steve snorts, putting his hands in his pockets as he leads them to a house, “not my fault you didn’t pay attention when the professor talked about the gym challenge to you.”
Crossing his arms he glares at the ground, “yeah well, Professor Owens forgets shit. How is it you’re the water gym leader yet have a ghost type with you?”
There’s an amused smirk on Steve’s face and what sounds like a giggle come from Mimikyu, “I might specialize with water types, I do have a fond experience with ghost types. And dude, it’s okay to try catching other types. I just so happen to work better with water types. Queen here was a gift, basically, my partner found an egg and gave it to me.”
He nods because Steve’s right, it is nice to use all different types. Though if he did only pick one, grass or bug type is where he’d stick with.
“Alright” Steve smiles and comes to a stop, “we’re here, once we get inside you can let your Pokémon out.” He leads them up to a door and Dustin takes in the mixture of aesthetics.
There’s clearly two different personalities living in this house, whoever Steve’s partner is, definitely enjoys the darker aesthetic compared to Steve. Who gives off a more pastel aesthetic. Not that he fully knows, he’s still going off or how Steve is dressed.
“Hey baby, I brought a guest!”
They both hear a crash and then a curse. A Gengar floats out of the kitchen and snickers as it stops in front of Steve, “What did you do?”
“He’s over the moon for beating up a Nin- woah! Honey love, you brought the kid I just beat?”
Blinking hard because there’s no way, Dustin also rubs his eyes before looking over at the kitchen doorway. His vision clears and yep, there’s the gym leader, Eddie, standing there in a pastel purple sweater and black sweats with his Decidueye leaning behind him.
“You’ve got to be kidding me, seriously?”
Steve outright laughs and pats his shoulder, “dude, you’re face. Oh man, should’ve taken a picture.” He moves closer to Eddie and presses a kiss to his cheek, “He looked so sad after the defeat, I had to.”
Eddie shakes his head, amusement clear on his face, “Honey, you gotta warn people when you bring them over. Even if they look like a kicked Eevee”
He scruffs and looks away from the couple to find the Pumpkaboo, Ozzy apparently, next to him. It makes him groan, “I’m an idiot, you’re the one who found Servine!”
Ozzy nods excitedly before floating down and nudges his bag, confused he opens it and Ozzy dances around him. He’s curious and looks over at the couple, “uh, what?”
“He’s asking you to let your Pokémon out, they’ll enjoy some play time and food.” Eddie answers and looks at the time, “which is done by the way. Come on, let them out and we’ll give you some tips”
Shrugging, he does just that, all his Pokémon looking around curiously before spotting the backdoor where Ozzy and Steve are now in front of. All of them rush over and Steve laughs before opening the door, letting all of his Pokémon outside.
“Don’t worry, we got a fence and there’s food already out there.”
He can only nod and watch as his Pokémon all play together with Steve’s and Eddie’s Pokémon.
Dustin doesn’t know how he ended up here, honestly, he’s sitting inside a home that belongs to two gym leaders. Who are not only two of the strongest ones but also married to each other. Of all the things he was learning, this might’ve been the most surprising.
————
I’m gonna end it there because if I keep going this post will be stupid long (it already is 😅) BUT!! I decided to make this into a series!! It’ll be a fun one that I could write and post whenever I want. Can switch up povs and everything this way. Please don’t ask me why I went with Dustin’s pov this time around, I don’t even know.

CHAPTER 23 - Laughter Doeth Good
The bright lights of the Living Room caused Leo’s dilated pupils to contract as he stepped out of the shadows of the hall. His feet sensed the difference as he walked from cold, grainy tiles to the scratchy carpet. He released a long, weighted sigh as he plopped onto the couch centered in the middle of the room. Tiny creaks of aged springs whined as he went slack into the cushions. His eyes closed slowly as he focused on clearing his rapidly moving thoughts.
‘.. Everything’s… fine. Raph is with Lotus. Don is scanning the implant. Everything is just- 
OH SHOOT! ‘
Leo grabbed his phone from its pocket on the back of his shell and texted Raph.
[ If Lotus is still awake, have her take some painkillers. There should be a jar of them in one of the cabinets in the Med Bay. Her leg is going to be sore for a while ]
After hitting [ SEND ], something clicked in Leo’s brain: 
His shoulders slightly ached from how tense he was back in the Med Bay. His eyes still stung as the moisture dried on his skin. The shaking had FINALLY stopped.
He was exhausted.
“ …. I guess one nap wouldn’t hurt. “ He mumbled, as he nestled himself into the couch’s cozy, warm embrace. Not only did the stress leave a toll on his body, but also his mind. It was taking a lot of his emergency reserves of energy to slow it down. But as his mind raced, his body stilled. His muscles finally relaxed as his pounding heart from earlier faded into a quiet hum in the cushions of the couch.
‘ Sleep will help… ‘ 
Leo’s mind slowly hollowed, becoming as quiet and empty as the room itself. His eyelids smoothly shut as he released the urge to stay awake.
“.... Hey.. Bro? “
Leo minisculely flinched at the sudden interruption of his precious silence. His face slightly twisted in discomfort, burying itself into the cushions.
“ Mmmghhhmmm???.... “ He groaned.
Leo heard the light patters of feet as they drew closer, and then shifted as a weight fell onto his couch with another groaned squeak.
‘ Mmmmmmmikeyyyyyyy please not nowwwwwwwwww… ‘ He mentally begged to his youngest brother. However the only sound that actually escaped Leo was a muffled,
“ MMmMgmgGhghhhHGHHHHHhhhhhikey~ “
A beat of silence passed as Mikey twisted and fidgeted on one end of the couch, while his oldest brother was fighting every single cell of his body screaming at him to GO TO SLEEP.
“... Hey, Leo!.. “ Mikey shout whispered as he waved his phone, “ Dude, you gotta see this- it’s pure gold- I’m gonna have Raph doin my chores for a month~ “
Leo groggily opened one eye. ( Since his other was too busy being shoved deep into the couch cushions.. )
“ Mmmghhwhat isss itt Mike?.... “ Leo moaned. It was becoming more and more difficult to keep his eyes open..
Mikey’s focus shifted from his excitement of his brotherly victory over Raph, to actually taking in how Leo looked:
 Awful - He looked awful. Below Leo’s eyes peeked a deep grey through the blue of his mask. His hands slumped limply by his legs as his head would start to lean and then jolt back up just as his eyes would close.
Even despite Leo’s battle to stay conscious, he could still see the tiny gears turning in Mikey’s head.
‘................ He’s not gonna leave… Something is on his mind….. 
..OKKKKKAYYYYYY… ‘
In one violent motion, Leo pulled his limp head out of the embrace of the cushion and slapped his face. His cheek stung from the impact and started to feel warm as the area grew red. Mikey watched with wide eyes as his oldest brother assaulted his own face.
Leo knew if he hadn’t looked so bad, and hadn’t had as awful of a day, Mikey would have been dying laughing right now. 
Leo pushed himself away from the warm cushion and leaned over, supporting his chin with his knuckles as his elbows rested shakily on his knees. 
“...What’sss - what’sss on your mind, little brother? “ 
Leo knew what he was doing. Was he exhausted? Oh ABSOLUTELY. Is the couch calling to him in an enticing melody? Yeah it really was- He could hear like four different harmonies singing in his brain- 
.. But no matter what..
.. Leo would always have enough strength to support his brothers.
Mikey’s eyes were still full of empathy- and Leo could see him trying to decide if he should say something; If it would be fair for him to speak to Leo in the dreadful state he was in.
 Leo decided to make his decision a little easier.
“ I’m all ears, little brother. “ He softly spoke as he reached out and patted Mikey’s fidgeting hand.
The youngest’s eyes filled with gratefulness as he let out a shy smile. 
“ I’m..uh.. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help.. back in the Medbay.. “ He spoke as he continued to play with his fingers and nails, “ .. I don’t think Lotus digs any of my jokes… “
Leo’s eyes shined with his tired smile as he gently punched Mikey’s arm.
“ I thhhhink it’s more of your VOLUME that she doesn’t ‘dig’. “
Mikey rubbed his bicep, as he let out a somewhat shameful snicker. 
“ Heheh… Yeahhhhh I don’t think I have a volume control button. If I did, Raph woulda found it by now.. “ 
Even after hearing his little bro joke, Leo could still see that Mikey was resisting telling or asking him something. 
Leo squeezed his hand.
Mikey turned over his hand and held it in Leo’s, squeezing a little back. The youngest let out a sigh as his left leg started rhythmically bouncing. 
“ I could tell you were stressing like crazy, dude. Your stress chasm was -like- HUGE. “
Leo sheepishly stroked the side of his temple as he felt his cheeks grow warm.
“... I guess… I guess I thought a little humor would help… but..I guess I’m not actually that funny.. I just- I guess- I wanted to help!! Maybe calm Lotus down.. Just like you guys would do for me when we were little. A little comedy goes a long way when you’re goin through something scary.. “
Leo thought back to the years when Mikey was terrified of the dark. There were countless nights when Leo would wake up to the sound of sniffles, finding little Mikey out of bed crowded next to their nightlight in the corner of the room. No amount of light was ever enough for him. It had to be the full-blown SUN in order for him to not be afraid. Master Splinter was thankfully able to find the nightlight, but he would still gently scold Mikey for leaving his bed.
‘ “ You must not be afraid, my son. It is safe in our home. Whether it be day or night, our home remains the same..
 ..The darkness only holds as much power as YOU give it. “ ‘
Tumblr media
..Unfortunately.. logic can only go so far in the mind of a six year old.
One night, as Mikey was brushing his teeth, all his older brothers came together and had a little meeting…
“ - GUYS, I SWEAR TO FOUR CHEESE PIZZA - IF I DON’T GET ONE NIGHT OF GOOD SLEEP, I WILL MAKE MIKEY SLEEP IN THE TUNNELS. “
“ Raph, chill. We aren’t doing that. “
“ On the contrary, eliminating the source of noise will most likely enhance our sleep- “
“ - DONNIE. “
“- Oh I’m sorry- but the facts do speak for themselves! “
“ Ok, so what’s YOUR plan then, LEOOOoo? “
“... We gotta show Mikey that the dark isn’t that scary. “
“ Thank youuuu~ Captain Oblivious~ “
“- Obvious. “
“- SHUT UP, DON. “
“ - Guys stop. Ok- what can we do.. to make a six year old not be afraid.. “
Later that night, their plan was set in motion.
Sensei had just finished tucking everyone in. Well- he tucked Mikey in- the other brothers were a little too old for that now.. ( Though all of them wouldn’t outwardly say it, but they missed it. ) As Sensei said goodnight and clicked off the lightswitch, all the brothers could hear the sounds of a stuffed animal being squeezed tightly, letting out a choked squeak. The brothers all took this as the sign to begin Mission- ‘Make Mikey Not Afraid of the Dark so We Can All SLEEP’.
As Mikey clutched his stuffy to his chest, he could hear the sounds of footsteps and a ladder wobbling. Soon after, three pairs of eyes rose up from the railing of the youngest’s bunkbed. 
“.. Bwothers”? … “ Mikey squeaked.
“ Nah- it’s the boogeyman- “
“- RAPHAEL! “
“ Hehe~ Sorry- sorry- ahem.. We’re here to help, lil bro. “
“ That’s right Mikey. We’re all here. “
All of Mikey’s older brothers slowly crept their way into his bed. Mikey flung out of his blankets and hugged Raph tightly, as tears began falling down his face.
“- Heyy heyy. No tears. “ Raph whispered as gently as he could, pulling the youngest’s face away from his chest.
“ Mikey, “ Leo whispered, as he scooted a little closer, “ We have a little surprise for you. “
“ …. Uh.. *sniff* a suwpwise? “
“ Yes, dear little brother. “ Don spoke as he fixed his oversized oval glasses. “ We couldn’t help but notice you find fear and anxiety in the thing called darkness. “
Mikey buried his face back into Raph’s plastron. 
“ .. It’s scawy and I can’t see!...”
Raph patted Mikey’s head half-heartedly and pulled him away again, this time lifting him up into Leo’s lap.
“ It can be scary, yeah. But the dark can be really cool too! “
Leo couldn’t help but smile down at his little brother as his small lip trembled and his eyes grew big and pitiful. 
“ Look at this, Mikey. “ Leo handed the youngest a small plastic star with a weird feeling on the back of it. It was glowing. Mikey’s eyes lit up as he played with it in his tiny hands. He’d never seen something like this before!!
“ It’s gwowing!! “
Leo smiled at Raph and Don. The plan was working!
“ That’s right little brother. “ Don said, “ But the only reason that you can see it glowing is because it’s dark. You wouldn’t be able to see it shine if it were in the day. “
Leo lifted Mikey and handed him to Raph, and then Raph plopped him down next to his pillow. 
“ Watch this! “ Raph said as he, Leo, and Don all slid down and jumped to the floor. Mikey moved to the edge of his railing and watched closely. As Leo, Don, and Raph all went to their beds, the youngest could see color-coded stars shine brightly from the backs of their shells. They were glow in the dark stickers!!
“ Ok, Mikey, “ Don spoke up as he took off his glasses and placed them on the side table by Leo’s bed, “ Any time you get scared, and think you’re alone, just look at the stars on our shells. It will remind you that we’re right here. “
To prove the point, Leo, Don, and Raph all began dancing in the dark, making the little stars on their shells dance too. They bounced and shimmied and spun all around the room resulting in a loud chuckle from Mikey. He pointed to each star swimming in the darkness.
“ Wed! Bwue! Puwple!!! Hehehehe!! “
Tumblr media
:MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
~
Leo smiled at his brother as the memories washed over him like an inviting wave, then were swept down the stream of his mind.
“ It’s alright, Mikey. I get it. You were only doing what you thought would help. Humor can be great to heal, like that saying that Sensei taught you.. Uh, how does it go again? “
Mikey lifted his head and scooted back into the couch giving a small grin.
“ It’s laughter doeth good like medicine. Proverbs 17:21. “
“ Yeah that’s it! You worked for weeks trying to memorize it. I remember any time you said “ doeth” your tongue would stick out! HAHA!! “
Mikey’s grin grew into his signature smile as he elbowed Leo in the ribs.
“ DUDE, I WAS LIKE SIX!! SHUT UP!! “
At that moment, the room that was once peaceful and serene erupted with roars of laughter as Mikey launched over the couch and piled on top of Leo. The brothers tussled, testing each other’s strength as their arms and legs kicked and yanked.
A wrestling match between siblings was nothing new in their home. Splinter would have the brothers attempt to pin each other down, using any of the allowed techniques they were taught. Not only was it good for training, but for a single father of four teenage boys, it was a great way to drain any remaining energy at the end of the day.
After only a few measly minutes, Leo and Mikey found themselves on the floor, squeezed between the couch and coffee table. They were still laughing as they panted and coughed from the rigorous expelling of their energy. 
Leo’s body still ached, but it was a good kind of pain. Like the kind you would feel after running a marathon: adrenaline coursing through your body, a flickering burn in your chest as your heart beat rapidly, and a pit in your stomach all happening at the same time. 
Leo crawled back onto the couch as he gasped in between breaths. 
“ You’re… getting stronger, little brother.. ”
Mikey remained on the floor, also panting, and dramatically waved his finger in the air.
“.. Not- guh- Not so little anymoreee~ I’m thirteen now, so.. phew.. No longer a kid!! “
Mikey’s hand flopped back down landing with a *slap* on his plastron.
“.. What you see before you.. Is the peak of maturity.. “
Mikey expected a sass-filled comeback from the oldest, but.. Nothing came. Mikey started to worry a little by his brother’s silence- until he heard something.
Leo was snoring. Loudly. 
‘ WHOA DUDE- Had no idea you could hide a lawnmower in your face..’
Mikey sat up to inspect his now slumbering brother, taking note of the deep lines making themselves known under his mask again. 
He knew how much stress Leo put on himself. Not only as the leader of their team, but as the oldest brother. Sensei had told Mikey that that kind of weight was healthy for someone who carried as much responsibility as Leonardo did. It kept him from being foolish, always weighing his options and never becoming arrogant.
Always on his toes.
NEVER at rest.
Mikey looked over to his brother once more, whom was now curled up on the end of the couch, nearly suffocating himself in the clutches of the cushions. 
Mikey smiled. He watched as all of life’s burdens and responsibilities fell off of Leo’s shoulders as he was pulled deeper into sleep. Where once a tall, strong leader stood, now laid an exhausted teenager.
Leo channeled everything he had in him to keep his family safe. This ongoing burden changed him as he grew.
Molded him.
Sharpened him.
Where dull, rounded edges of fun and naivety once were, now stood as pointed corners of honor and understanding. Of fear. Of protection. Sensei was the iron that scratched and tore through his smooth exterior to reveal the steadfast facets of Leo’s jeweled heart.
The thing about having a jewel as a heart though…
.. It comes at the cost of your freedom. It comes at the cost of not having the choice to have fun and live as if life were the same as when you were a child. The burden will weigh you down, as a golden chain around your neck. It brings honor. It brings a sense of duty. But Mikey would question if it was all worth it to Leo; needing to grow up.. so fast…
Looking at Leo would always make Mikey doubt if he would ever reach the level of maturity and honor as his oldest brother. 
‘ Leo wasn’t even that old!! He’s SEVENTEEN!!! And yet the oldest has never failed to keep his family saf- ‘
Mikey’s mind froze as it flashed him back. 
Back to that awful night.
When Don and Raph…
.. were gone.
That's it for this chapter!! :) Hope you enjoyed!!
To God be the glory!
( EDIT- Mikey's eyes in the second panel are inspired by @allyheart707's Mikey!! ) :)

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏✪✭✪﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏✪✭✪﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Pairing: Dallas Winston x Fem! Reader
Summary:After Dallas criticizing the reader's ways after thinking she was flirting with a Two-Bit, she decided to change.
Trope: Enemies to lovers
Warnings: Cursing, Smoking, Dallas being a cute idiot. <3
Songs: Change - Deftones, Just like you - Three Days Grace
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏✪✭✪﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏✪✭✪﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
You walked into the Curtis house, in a really good mood.
"Good morning! What's up?" you said with a bright smile as you shut the door behind you.
Everyone greeted you- well, some more bitter than others.
"Can you just shut up for once? And what the hell are you wearing? That band sucks." He said pointing to your cropped band t-shirt and your ripped baggy jeans in disgust before taking a puff of his cigarette.
"Oh. Sorry, I just woke up in a good mood I guess. Felt like wearing it. And you listen to the same band, Dally." You said, your attitude going from happy to sad real quick.
You were very sensitive and was very sweet to everyone. You didn't understand why he was being so mean to you.
"Dally, what is your problem? She's being nice to you and you're being a major dick." Johnny said.
Johnny never talked to his idol like that.
"She's being annoying, alright? So why don't you just shut up Johnny."
"Alright. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye Johnny." You walked out the house and didn't come back for the rest of the day.
"Fine then. Little bitch." He muttered under his breath as he watched you leave, covering up his regret.
"What's up with you, man? Why'd you talk to her like that?" Two-Bit said to his buddy, looking away from his show of Mickey Mouse for the first time. But he couldn't help but listen to the conversation between his two friends.
"Wouldn't you like to know, lover boy. Don't worry about it-"
"No I'm gonna worry about it. Y/N ain't did nothin' wrong since she got here and you're treating her like crap. You need to apologize, Dal."
"Yeah. I ain't gotta do shit."
°.✩┈┈∘*┈˃̶୨୧˂̶┈*∘┈┈✩.°°.✩┈┈∘*┈˃̶୨୧˂̶┈*∘┈┈✩.°
It was the next day. And instead of wearing your favorite band, you just wore a regular plain blue T-shirt and sweatpants.
Dallas walked in the Curtis house to see you smoking with Johnny and Ponyboy, laughing at Pony's joke about some girl at school.
"Oh my lord! She does walk like that-" You cut yourself off at the sight of Dallas' figure walking through the door.
You blew a puff of smoke, looking away from him.
He sat on the couch, looking at you from a distance.
"Got something to say, Dal? Hm?" You sassed, rolling your eyes before looking at Johnny and Ponyboy.
"What's your problem?" He said, seeming he has forgotten everything from yesterday.
"Oh I'm sorry. I guess I'm still being annoying since you still managed to notice me sitting right here." You said with sarcasm in your voice.
He looked at you, realizing.
"Since when did you smoke?" He said, grabbing the cigarette from your mouth.
"Since I was being annoying. I just thought I'd act just like you. Because you seem to love yourself a lot. You just can't get enough of yourself. You are a selfish person who I thought was my friend. I hate you, Dally." You got up, slamming the door behind you.
He stayed there for a minute, a pain in his chest soon spreading to his brain and the rest of his body.
"Dally, Go." Johnny said, pointing to the direction your went.
He though for a minute, walking out the door to see you on the porch.
"Hey, Doll." He sat down beside you on the steps.
"What do you want."
"Okay don't start your moody shit right now. If you're gonna start that, go flirt with Two-Bit some more." He said, looking at you with anger, also a hint of sadness.
"What?! Dal, you can't be serious right now. I don't think of Two like that and you know it."
"Oh yeah? Then why were you talkin' to him all cutesy at the drive in yesterday morning? Huh?"
"Well if you have to know, he was helping me get a gift for you. I was gonna tell you something but you started being a jerk. So I left." You said, handing him a customized lighter.
He held it in his hands, staring at the designs of the flowers and the skulls.
"Doll, I'm so sorry."
Dallas Winston felt terrible. He got it all wrong and made you feel bad for absolutely nothing.
"It's alright. I just hope we're at least friends again." You said with hope lacing your voice as you looked at him.
"Actually, I was hoping for something different.."
"Look, Dal. I didn't mean to be annoying yesterday. I was in a good mo-"
"Doll, it's fine. You're not annoying. I'm just a major asshole. Forgive me?" He smiled, grabbing your hand gently.
You nodded, squeezing his hand slightly, leaning up to kiss his cheek.
He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug.

rec:
connie x y/n date at the zoom🦙
Lions & Polar Bears
Pairing: connie x gn! reader
Summary: You and Connie go on a cute date to the zoo.
Genre: Fluffy af
Warnings: none
authors note: glad I am finally posting this. It's been in my drafts for months and wanted to send it out earlier, but writer's block and a bit of seasonal depression hit and I wanted to end it good.
okay and ngl, towards the end it’s really fluffy and totally cringe and cliche so I’m excited. also i'm pretty sure I used only gender neutral terms in regards to the reader, but if you catch something I missed just lmk :)
——— he's literally adorable-
Tumblr media
“Babe, look at the wolves!” Connie gushes out to you and grabs your hand.
He’s been dying to go to the zoo lately, so he was ecstatic when you bought the tickets online to surprise him. Apparently it was the best gift you could’ve gotten him, as Connie turned into a kid going to Disneyland for the first time.
“I see, baby.” You smile at him and link your arms with him. A few people surrounded you, but thankfully you took a day off of work so it wouldn’t be as crowded as it would on a weekend. “What do you wanna go see see next?”
He hovers over your shoulder, glancing between the park map and the wolf enclosure. “The elephants are near by. Can we go see them?”
“Of course.”
Your local zoo was a popular tourist spot since it was also a rescue center for the animals, thankfully not just some poor creatures behind a steel fence.
It was pretty humid unfortunately, but you and Connie prepared. Both of you were twinning with a couple anime t-shirts and shorts with a pair of sunglasses.
He dragged you through the park, hand desperately clutching onto to yours in hope you’ll match his speed. “C’mon, slowpoke. Don’t make me carry you.”
“If you do in front of all these people, you can sleep with the polar bears tonight.”
“What’s the difference?”
He earned himself a light smack to the back of his buzzed head.
————
It was around noonish by the time your stomach started growling. Between the sun, the humidity, and walking, plus the water bottles you stored in your little backpack were rapidly declining.
“Baby, we should find somewhere to eat real quick.” You tell him as the smell from the food stands started to waft in your nose.
“Weak.” He replied.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Most people don’t survive off of Oreos and a redbull.”
“Ugh, fine- whatever Mom.”
Connie laughed at the glare you sent his way. He wasn’t wrong though. He sure acted like a kid rather than an adult, but his goofy personality was what you liked about him. “Okay, okay, what do you want to eat?”
After various glances between the different food stands, you both decided on getting burgers, which made your stomach growl even more.
Connie came up behind you and placed a hand tenderly on your stomach, “Hey quiet that thing down, it’s gonna attract the animals.”
“Sorry, my handler hasn’t fed me yet.” You let out a giggle as Connie places a small kiss on your cheek.
“Let’s go, babe.”
————
After a good meal of overpriced food, the hiking up the many hills of the zoo were no match for you two.
“You liked the elephants?” You asked and swung your clasped hand with his. He’s been in a great mood all day and you couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in yourself that you made the right choice in buying the tickets.
“Yes, you’re the best,” He gave you a kiss. “What do you wanna see?”
A confused look took over your face and your eyebrows raised from behind the lenses of your sunglasses.
“Uhh, it’s only like 2:00 pm…” You tell him. “Why do you think I spent the night at your place? I made sure I was going to wake your ass up early, babe. We’re gonna see everything.”
Connies brain felt like it was short-circuiting.
“You okay? You look liked you’re about to faint.”
His hand squeezed yours in response and he nods, a small tint of pink staining his cheeks. “Yeah.” He let out a small chuckle as you started dragging him toward the lion exhibit. “Never been better, actually.”
“C’mon! They have a show soon, let’s go watch.”
———
“This is Mila,” The zookeeper’s voice rang through the small headset from atop a podium. “She’s a lioness who was rescued from poachers about five years ago. We got a call from a rescue organization out there and we managed to send a team out to safely get her and her cubs out.”
The lioness sat comfortable on top of the large rock platform. Her eyes scanned the crowd of guests before sharply shifting her gaze to her cubs. The two smaller lions started nipping at each other playfully, definitely putting on a show for the crowd.
“They’ve grown a lot since they’ve been rescued, but a mother never stops being a mother.” The keeper laughs as Mila starts to trek towards them. The two quickly separated, their manes bustling with movement.
A deep and almost guttural noise echoed through the enclosure. Mila and the zookeepers attention shifted to the noise.
“How exciting, it looked like our male lion, Apollo, has woken up from his afternoon nap.”
“That’s something you two have in common.” You playfully elbow Connie in the ribs.
“Ha, you think you won, but I don’t see how being compared to a lion is bad.”
The crowd let out sounds of wonder as Apollo made his appearance. The lion stood strong with his large and dark mane.
“Apollo was transferred from another zoo due to issues with mating with another lioness. We were a bit nervous when he was relocated here, since we didn’t know how he would react to Mila and her cubs.”
While Connie pretty much had a front row seat, a few people started to trickle in closer and obstruct your vision, but you didn’t mind. He looked back towards you and pulled your arm to make you move closer as the crowd started to ‘aw’ at the lions. He pushed you in front of him so you could see what was going on.
A cub slowly emerged from under Apollo’s legs. The little cub seemed skittish from all the attention, but a slight bump from Mila encouraged her to move out from Apollo.
“As you can see, the two have bonded very well and had Serene. Normally, male lions won’t really take part in raising cubs, only seeing it as a the lionesses job. They mostly add protection and watch over the pride while the mothers go out to hunt. After Serene was born, he immediately showed signs of care, which surprised us, and he always has her in his sights. Talk about daddy’s little girl.”
“Dude, that’s so cute.” Connie wrapped his arms around your front and rested his chin on the top of your head.
As the show continued, the zookeeper gave out other information about the lions and Mila’s family.
“Hey, I think it’s ending soon.” Connie’s voice whispered in your ear. “Wanna beat the crowd and go check out the llamas?”
“Whatever you want to do, Connie.”
And with that, you both snuck out and headed for the llamas.
“Holy shit, they’re fluffy.” He gaped at the animals.
“Connie, there’s kids here.” You whispered as a few parents glanced in your direction at his profanity.
“So? Take them to Disneyland then. The animals won’t censor their lives, why should I?”
You shrugged off the glares, he did have a point. The pack of llamas and alpacas were sifting past each other behind the fence. The smell was… tolerable- kinda and globs of spit dribbled down some of their mouths. You decided it was safe to keep your distance.
“Would you like to pet him?” One of the handlers asked.
“Wait- yes, can I?” Connie asked.
You quickly take out your phone and snap a few pictures of Connie with the llama. His hand gently rubbed the furry muzzle and the llama bleated a bit at the touch. It was going great, until a large thick glob of spit trailed down Connie’s wrist and down his elbow.
“Careful-! Sorry, he’s drools a lot. Here’s a tissue.”
———
After many more hours of seeing the animal habitats, the sun started to set. The warm summer atmosphere started to glow dim with dark colors painting the sky. Torches and lamps illuminated the walk ways and guests were busy trying to catch the last shows and exhibits before closing.
“Babe, let’s go to the gift shop.” Connie drags you towards the small shop, like a little kid in a toy store… literally.
The shop was filled with souvenirs ranging from magnets, water bottles, and plushies. The cute jungle theme was spread throughout the store with bamboo flooring and vines hanging from the ceiling.
It’s only been a few months of you two dating, but you’ve both have been inseparable. There was never a dull moment with Connie. Weekends could either be going to a dive bar or watching Netflix with takeout, which both of you never minded. He was also treated you like royalty too, always opening the doors, complimenting you when you’re feeling down, fuck- even tying your shoes.
Your thoughts were interrupted when Connie shoved a monkey plushie in your face. Blinking your eyes to focus, you took in it’s abnormal appearance: wide body, small head, scrawny legs.
“Look how ugly this thing is!” He laughed and tossed it back in the basket with the others.
You chuckled at him and glanced at the other plushies. An adorable lion caught your eyes and you picked it up. The soft fuzz from the mane tickled your fingers. “You’re coming home with me.”
Connie bumped into you and you both made eye contact, a light blush heating up your faces. He cradled a polar bear plushie in his hands.
“That’s the one?” You asked, your gaze fixed on the stuffed animal.
His eyes never left you. “Y-yeah.”
After paying for both the plushies, it was finally time to go home. The plushies rested under your arm as the two of you walked back to Connie’s car hand in hand.
The other families were trailing slowly to the exit with exhausted kids sleeping in their parents arms and strollers.
“Thank you for today.” He said once you two reached the parking lot.
“Of course, baby.” You squeezed his hand tighter. “I’m glad you had fun.
“Nah, like…” Connie trailed off for a moment, biting his lip. “You don’t understand.”
Your head creaked to the side in confusion. “Understand what?”
“Fuck, like other people I’ve dated in the past never really enjoyed doing stuff like this.”
He walked you to the passenger door of his car.
"The zoo? Who doesn't like the-"
“Nah, they’ve always wanted to go clubbing every night or go to five star restaurants- and like don’t get me wrong, I like to go out and get fancy once in a while too.”
“But it’s draining. Overall it wasn't what you wanted to do, was it? Plus we’re young and broke, who can afford it in this economy?” You finished for him with a giggle.
A sigh of relief escaped him. “You get it.”
Your hand reached up and swiped through his hair. “I do. Wanna get Taco Bell on the way home?”
“Dammit, how are you-”
"So perfect for me," he wanted to say. “Fuck it, Y/n, I love you.”
Your breath hitched in your throat and Connie looked like he was about to pass out- again. A warmth flooded through your body and you couldn’t help the smile forming.
“I love you too.”
He was wide-eyed. “R-really? You aren’t just saying that cause I did? It’s okay if you don’t yet- or if you never do- wait…”
A loud laugh escaped you as he continued to ramble. “Connie, I love you too.”
Connie let out a heavy sigh. “That’s a relief, the drive home would’ve just been...” He whistled lowly.
You leaned up to kiss him. “Get in the car, I’m hungry again.”
————
Connie finally pulled into the parking lot of his apartment complex. The music was playing lowly in the background and his hand never left your thigh the entire drive. Taco wrappers and hot sauce packets littered the floor by your feet and both plushies resided with you under your seatbelt so they could be safe.
“Y/n, babe, wake up. We’re home.” He gently shook your sleeping form.
A grumbled left your lips, but you didn’t stir. Connie grabbed the trash and threw it out in a nearby bin then opened your door. He reached over and unbuckled your seatbelt. The two plushies found their way into your tiny backpack which Connie reluctantly put on.
“Come on, my little polar bear.” He laced your arms around his neck and edged you off the seat. Your legs wrapped around his torso and his arm secured itself under your butt to support you. You hummed into his neck, ever so grateful he was carrying you.
“Fuck, maybe I should’ve called you a koala instead.”

i’m back to say that magnificent was so so so good!! i love the uta mihawk interactions and how mihawk wants to protect her. i think my favorite part though was when mihawk was talking to shanks all nervous about whether he could call uta his daughter, but shanks answers with an “of course.”
this fic made me wonder why mihawk would do if he was present during the one piece film red… would he come along with the red crew, or would he already be there like the others (luffy, law, etc)?
awh 💖💖 thank u for your continued support! it means a lot :') and im happy you enjoyed the fic haha 🥰
UH, long answer short: i kind of have headcanons that position him before, during, and after the movie hahaha. sorry this reply turned out longer than i expected but my brain's got a mihawk & uta agenda goin' on rn. 😂 thanks again for the ask! ➡️
i actually have a bit of a draft going of mihawk seeing the "shanks destroys elegia" headline, seeing what's up, and finding uta, which i started before i wrote up magnificent lol. that's kinda where i picture him--doing something before everything happens, bc his curiosity makes him wonder why shanks would do smthg so uncharacteristic.
i recognize that's kind of a cop-out answer tho LOL so in regards to the movie itself in the canon(ish) timeline, i imagine he'd probably be there beforehand like luffy etc. he'd be there bc buggy and his crew got tickets and he was somehow dragged there against his will (similar to how law says he's chaperoning bepo but a lot more antagonistic about it aha), probably bc croc decides it might be beneficial to go, for whatever reason. probably scoping the crowd. (pls imagine the cross guild at uta's concert garnering Looks and standing out very obviously, but no one wants to say anything about it LOL even if the crowd is very anti-pirate. like, the strawhats and soen charlottes were there so. why not some ex-warlords?)
when there, he'd be like, "hey wait isn't that shanks's kid? didn't he say she left to sing? huh." and then maybe possibly even dial shanks on his baby den den about it bc if he's the type to bring luffy's poster all the way to an island, he'd probably try to ring up shanks. then he wouldn't be able to connect and clock that something is Up bc he knows shanks is just kinda hanging on his ship rn, on his way out from wano. i dont think he'd be with shanks along with his crew, and i dont think he'd bother going after the fact to help if he wasn't there to start with, which is why i think he'd already be there for separate reasons. ;P
anyways, i also have the start of an idea where the movie happens but uta survives, and shanks, stressed, is like, "hey, y'know what, everything's ramping up and everyone's trying to kill uta and she's still recovering from this wakeshroom shit so she'd probably be safer on land but the marines will be looking for all my known close associates... i'm gonna drop her off with mihawk. he trained those two other kids and the misanthropic fucker (affectionate) has probably found a new island by now anyways, since he isn't a warlord anymore. it should be fine. he'll say yes."
he sets out with his crew to follow mihawk's vivre card. benn and yasopp get the news coo and start laughing about something but they don't tell him, and whatever, he's going to see mihawk soon. he's definitely being led to land, which makes him feel vindicated, until it becomes more and more clear that the structure standing out on the shore is a huge big top tent, and there's an unfortunately very familiar flag flying, and shanks is like, "oh god, don't tell me," and then promptly has to dodge a flying fist and yelling about how he isn't welcome here and what the fuck is mihawk doing with buggy???? and benn and yasopp, having seen the cross guild poster in the news and hidden it from shanks, are laughing so hard at him while he deals with this momentary crisis where two completely different parts of his life have seem to connected without his knowing about it.
(buggy is happy to see uta bc for all that they fight shanks and buggy did make some sort of effort with their brotherhood every now and then so he knows uta and she calls him "uncle bugs"!; mihawk ofc says "yes" to taking care of her bc he feels qualified to handle young adults now lol (he says this with an air of gravitas that is hilarious when considering how he interacts with zoro and perona, which is stoically and poorly); uta makes fun of her dad relentlessly for not having made any moves on the guy he's been in a situationship with since she was a literal child; and croc comes home from a meeting to find international pop sensation uta (that the news said tried to take over the world during her concert or something???) reclined on their couch drinking tea. wild day for everyone.)

Good Morning (It's Now Tomorrow)
Part 1 - Goodnight (Love)
Jimin x Reader (Spy!Au) Angst, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Two-Shot (Refer to Part 1 Above), Misunderstandings, Happy Endings.
Taglist: @fairypjiminie , @pjmsies
Summary: Your partnered mission with Park Jimin doesn't exactly go as planned, and you can't tell if it's for better or for worse. Your friend, Jungkook, is leaning towards the "worse" side, and consequently, you are too. How can Jimin fix this if he doesn't know what changed in the first place? Or: Jimin was doing fine, then he met you.
Warnings: ANGST !!! Miscommunication, jealousy, yearning, anxiety, insecurities, Yeonjun is kinda a shithead here (SORRY I WAS LISTENING TO DEVIL BY THE WINDOW AND I NEEDED AN ANTAGONIST), overprotective Jungkook, implied (???) NamJin, kisses !!!
main masterlist
A/N: Hi hello hey!!! Sorry this took forever, I had it all laid out but I've been running around like crazy everywhere and I hadn't had time to finish it. Here it is though! I hope this lives up to any expectations you may have had for the continuation of "Goodnight Love". The title (and the chapter overall) is inspired by Matt Maltese's album "Good Morning It's Now Tomorrow" and there's a reference from one of his songs in the summary jeje. Anyways, enjoy!!! Don't be a silent reader PLS 🙏
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
A good night's sleep was highly unfamiliar to you. Which is why you considered that maybe you were still dreaming when you woke up this morning. Everything around you is comfortably warm: the sun softly hitting your face, the sheets soft on your skin, the arms wrapped securely around yo–
The arms wrapped securely around you?!
You tense a bit before all the memories of your previous day resurface.
"You're safe, okay?” Jimin's voice was soft, feeling the way his chest vibrates against your head that's now tucked under it only helped calm you further.
Everything around you felt warm and tender, lulling you into deep sleep.
The last thing your brain manages to process is a soft kiss on your forehead, and words that sound a lot like: "Goodnight, love."
Part of you knows that you should probably get up, that you shouldn't be letting yourself enjoy this, but opening your eyes and finding Jimin so closely – the thought of pulling away tugs at your chest.
You're not sure how long you spend silently memorizing the lines on his face before you feel him shift and turn.
This is your cue to hide, pretend to be asleep, or something, how embarrassing would it be if he caught you staring–
"Hi, Y/N. I know you're up."
Oh my god you're busted. You're gonna die of embarrassment, and the raspiness in Jimin's voice is not helping you whatsoever.
Knowing you can't hide from him any longer, you shyly peek out from his chest.
"How did you know I was awake?"
Jimin smiles at you before responding to your question.
"You tensed up for a while. And I can also feel you burning holes into my face with your stare."
Your feel your face burning from the embarrassment of being caught, and it gets impossibly hotter when Jimin pushes a strand of hair off your face.
He chuckles at your flustered state before pulling you back into him.
"You sleep well?"
You don't push him away when he tugs you even closer, instead you just nod your head yes at his question.
You truly did sleep well — probably the best sleep you've gotten in a really long time.
Waking up like this, it felt easy. Things have never been simple for you, but this, this feels simple, natural. Easy.
You like this side of Jimin. A lot.
Suddenly, you become aware of the sunlight filling up your room and remember that you're gonna have to get up and leave soon.
"Jimin?" You try to leave his embrace but he only pulls you into him again with a tired groan.
"We have to get up." You try and fail again.
"Just a few more minutes." Realizing that there's no fighting him on this, you decide to give in and get comfortable.
Neither you or Jimin want to acknowledge the feelings behind your want to stay like this as long as time allowed you to.
After a few moments, you reluctantly begin to untangle yourself from his embrace. The whine that leaves Jimin stops you in your tracks - why would he want to keep holding you?
You shake your head and refocus on the fact that you have to get up.
"Jimin, we really do have to get going now."
"But it's so comfy."
This guy was going to be the death of you.
"Come on, get up. I'll make breakfast and you pack."
A long sigh leaves his lips before he unwraps himself from you and sits up to stretch. The cold that greets you as Jimin's embrace leaves makes your heart fall uncomfortably, but its just because you want to keep sleeping. That's why. Mhm.
The rest of the morning goes smoothly, and you both try to ignore how warm your hearts feel at the domesticity of it all.
The car ride held the same softness, and it had you thinking that maybe it wasn't the hotel, or the mission, maybe this softness was growing between you and Jimin on its own, independent to circumstances.
Jimin hummed quietly as he drove, and you tapped along with your fingers.
Decidedly, you spoke up:
"Jimin?"
"Hm?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What can I do for you princess?"
"Can you um- maybe not tell anyone about what happened at the event? Y'know, with the guy?"
Jimin frowns at the implication that he would purposely go around sharing something so personal about you, but again, he understands that he's in no position to question you. It's not like he hasn't given you a reason to doubt him.
"Of course, don't worry about that."
"Thanks."
"I know we got off on the wrong foot but, I wouldn't do that to you."
You smile at him tenderly because you know, and he smiles back because he knows you know.
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Once you arrive back at your designated building, you report to Seokjin and Namjoon right away.
They go over the files and any other information you two gathered while there.
"Great work guys. See, I knew you 2 would make one hell of a duo."
Namjoon's smile is radiant as he talks to you, and it draws out one of your own.
You don't notice how Jimin stops to look at you, his lips curving upward and his eyes sparkling; this is the first time he's seen you this happy.
Jin and Namjoon do catch it though, and they share a knowing look - something more had happened on that weekend, and whatever it was, it brought you two together.
"All right well you guys can go back to work. Nothing too heavy, just reformat some codes we missed over the weekend. Take your lunch whenever you want, and if you want to go home early just stop by and let us know that you're leaving."
"Thank you."
"No need. You both have worked really hard, if we weren't behind I'd basically force you two to go back home and rest."
You leave the office feeling satisfied; being reassured that you did a good job made you feel much lighter about everything that had happened.
"Well, I guess we gotta get working."
Jimin strikes up conversation, and it's a little awkward, but he finds it all the more endearing.
"Yeah."
"Oh, Y/N. I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch together? Today? Like at 12? It's okay if you don't want to, I mean, I know we just spent like 3 days stuck together but-"
"12 sounds good. I'll meet you at your office?"
"Yeah. Okay, yeah! See you then."
So much for being smooth, Jimin.
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
"Y/N! Hey!"
You turn around to see a happy Jungkook making his way towards you.
He was like your activation key for energy, having been friends for about a year now helped you grow comfortable around him, enough to show how you were feeling.
"Hi Jungkook!"
"What's got you in such a cheery mood?"
"How do you know that I'm in a cheery mood?"
You challenge him.
"You were practically skipping to your office. It's obvious you're giddy about something."
"Oh, I'm just glad the mission went well. It's good to be back."
Jungkook smiled at your cheery mood, but you could tell he wanted to say something – he's never been good at hiding his facial expressions.
"You look a bit constipated, Kook. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing, I'll tell you later."
Your narrow your eyes at him, he knows you hate when people do the whole 'we'll talk later' thing.
"Seokjin and Namjoon told me I could take it easy today, I have time. Now, spill."
He sighs before turning to walk to his office, "come on."
He closes the door behind you and takes a seat on the couch in the room, motioning for you to sit with him.
"So, your mission went well?"
"Yeah, it did. I mean, it was rough in the beginning but we made it work."
"You and Jimin, are you like ... friends now?"
The way Jungkook is staring at you makes you feel as though you're a kid again, about to he told off by your parents over something that had excited you.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. He actually asked me to have lunch with him today. I think once you break through his shell he's actually a really sweet guy."
Jungkook swears he saw your eyes sparkle when you mentioned having lunch with Jimin, and that only made his frown grow.
"Y/N, I don't want to pop your balloons but, I'm pretty sure Jimin's been spreading shit about you and how the mission went."
You feel the air leave your lungs in one go as you process his words, Jimin's doing what?
"No offense Jungkook but, how do you know that? He wouldn't do that. He promised it stayed between us."
A sigh leaves his lips and you refuse to let yourself falter; Jimin wouldn't do that.
"Was there anyone else from our company with you guys?"
"No. Why?"
"There's word going around that you pussied out of the mission and Jimin had to save both of your asses last minute, basically saying he did all the work and you just sat and watched."
For the second time in the span of a few minutes, you felt like the oxygen was sucked out of your lungs.
"Well, those are just rumors, right? We don't know if it was him who said those things."
"People have been mentioning the files and Jimin having to get you from inside the building because you couldn't do it. Who else would have all of that information?"
Oh.
"Well that's not what happened. He can spread all the rumors he wants because we both know that they're not true. Namjoon and Seokjin do too."
Jungkook shoots you a concerned look - you're taking this too well and it's throwing him off.
"So you're okay? You don't want to report it or anything?"
"Nah I'm good, it's not worth entertaining."
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Jimin feels as though he might go insane waiting for you during his lunch break.
He'd gone from one extreme to the other trying to figure out why you haven't shown up.
Were you okay? Did something happen? Did you decide to blow him off? Maybe asking you to lunch was a mistake-
No. Jimin thinks. I am not going to assume the worst. I'll just call her.
He smiles to himself while thinking what a good idea that was.
When he calls you, he's not sure what hurts his ears more: the rapid beating of his heart, or the continuous ringing as you don't pick up the phone.
The line cuts off and his stomach sinks as he realizes that you hung up.
But Jimin knew better than to get ahead of himself, obviously.
So he decided that he'll just swing by your office.
On his way there, he can't help the jitters that shake through his body. He's trying to keep his brain from creating the worst case scenarios, but he's not sure he's succeeding.
The ring of the elevator shakes Jimin out of his thoughts and back onto the task at hand, but not before he runs into someone.
As he's about to apologize, but the man (who he now recognizes as Jungkook) is already walking away before he can even begin.
He knew you guys were friends and he hated that he knew that he probably knew where you were.
"Oh- Hi, sorry to bother, Jungkook right?"
Jungkook simply replies with a curt nod and moves to continue walking before Jimin interrupts him again.
"Um- do you happen to know if Y/N is in her office?"
He stops again in his tracks, but this time he sends a challenging look towards Jimin.
"Why do you ask?"
"Oh I just- we were supposed to meet up during our lunch break and she didn't show up. So I just wanted to check if she was okay."
"She's fine, you can go back to your own thing now."
"Oh is she busy? I can come back later the-"
Jungkook puts up a hand to stop Jimin's rambling, and for a second, stares him down.
"Look, I know you've been spreading rumors about Y/N and taking all the credit for your recent case, and she knows it too. So if you have any dignity left in you, I suggest you turn around and leave her alone and stop running your goddamn mouth. Do you hear me?"
Jimin feels his mouth go dry at the information that's just been laid out to him.
Someone was spreading rumors about you? And you thought it was him?
"I haven't spread anything though? I haven't even told anyone what went down except Namjoon and Seokjin and only because I'm required to. I don't know who told you that and who's been spreading shit but I would never do that to Y/N."
A bitter chuckle escapes Jungkook's lips, and if Jimin wasn't so caught up with the worry of you thinking he would do something like that, he'd probably cuss him out for it.
"You're more of an asshole than I thought. You can't even own up to your immature games."
"I just told you, I didn't do anyth-"
"I'm only gonna say it one more time. Turn your ass around and walk the fuck away before I do something rash."
Knowing that arguing with Jungkook won't get him anywhere, Jimin puts his hands in the air to signal his leave.
"Fine. But I know that I'm telling the truth. And Y/N will too."
Jimin spends a few moments (like 3 hours) debating back and forth whether he should text you or not.
Finally, he flips a coin.
The coin says yes.
———
Jimin: hey, can we talk?
Jimin: preferably in person, i need to clear some things up
✔️ Seen
———
Ouch.
It's at this point that Jimin knows he absolutely needs to find who spread those lies about you, and he needs to do it now.
Was there someone at the event that he didn't see but they saw them?
Did someone overhear the meeting you both had with your bosses?
But both of you were so careful with every little detail. How could have anything slipped?
Jimin paces around the room desperately trying to figure out what might've happened, when he remembers one thing he did amidst the panic:
Yeonjun. Jimin told him what was happening.
Oh shit.
But, would he do something like that? He doesn't seem like the type to stoop so low.
But it's a possibility, which means Jimin is at least one step closer to finding the root of the rumors.
———
Jimin: Yeonjun, hey
When you're not busy can we meet up
Yeonjun: yeah of course
I'll be done with work in about an hour
Jimin: cool cool
Meet me at the cafe across the street from the company building
Yeonjun: okay see you soon
✔️ Seen
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Jimin has downed two entire cups of coffee while waiting for Yeonjun.
The more he thinks about it, the more it makes sense that he's the one that said something. (It also makes him angrier, if he wasn't taking deep breaths he's sure he would've broken the mug in his grip by now).
Just as he's debating whether or not a 3rd cup would make things worse, the bell of the cafe rings and he looks up to see Yeonjun walking towards him.
"Hey Jimin! Good to see ya! How's it going?"
"Hi, good, look I have some questions and I need you to be completely honest."
Jimin knows it's rude to just brush over formalities but he's frankly too bothered to care.
"You know the case I just came back from? The one with Y/N?"
"With the old dude and the files?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah. Why?"
"Did you say anything? Even any little detail?"
Yeonjun pauses for a moment, as if trying to make memory before he continues.
"Hm, I don't think I really said anything except when I talked to Leah. You know the one with curly hair in my floor? The one who has a huge crush on you? Yeah, her."
Deep breaths Jimin. You can't fight someone younger than you, and on your team.
"What exactly did you tell her?"
"She asked me if I had heard from you about how the mission went, and I told her that you were back and that I was checking in from the main building. She asked me how it went and I told her that it went well for you, but not so much for Y/N."
"What do you mean 'not so much for Y/N'?"
"I gassed you up dude. Told her how Y/N was too scared to just talk to some old man and you had to step in and do all the work."
"You said what?"
"That Y/N was too sca-"
"I heard you the first time, dipshit. Why the hell would you say that?"
"Well that's what happened isn't it?"
"No! Y/N wasn't 'too scared' she was in fucking danger! I couldn't just leave her there."
"All she had to do was flirt with a guy long enough to get into his room, how is that dangerous?"
Jimin was seeing red at this point. He's sure that if it were possible, smoke would be blowing out of his ears and nose. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"You're fucking kidding me, right?"
"I thought you didn't like Y/N. What's the big deal?"
Jimin absolutely couldn't stomach the words coming out of Yeonjun's mouth. He couldn't.
"What's the big deal? You wanna know what the big deal is? I don't know what Leah understood from your little gossip session but word got out that Y/N 'can't do her job' and I had to do everything for her. People are spreading rumors and talking shit. And even worse, she thinks that I started it."
Both men stare at each other before Jimin's anger reignites, and he continues on:
"Y/N did more than enough, she was so fucking brave out there. That old man that she 'just had to flirt with' fucking assaulted her. God knows what else would've happened if I hadn't gone up there. You give her so much shit but I know damn well that you don't have even an ounce of the willpower she has."
The tension at Jimin's words was piercing; harsh and sudden, taking the breath out of Yeonjun's chest.
"I- I didn't know..."
"No, you didn't. But you still ran your mouth, and now she's hurt and there's gossip running around the office. And it's your job to clean the shit you made up."
Yeonjun can only swallow the knot in his throat and nod as he waits for his next words.
"You have to apologize to her and tell her what you did. Personally. And if not, I'll just tell Namjoon and Seokjin myself, and the consequences will follow accordingly. Up to you."
As he finished his speech he began to stand up, signaling that he had gotten the last word; but before he can leave, Yeonjun's voice stops him.
"I'll talk to her. I promise."
Jimin pauses and turns around for a brief second and says, "Good. Let this be a learning experience. I know it was one for me."
And with that he turns around to leave.
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
You were still really hurt and upset, and knowing this, Jungkook invited you to stay over at his place, understanding that being alone in your state was a terrible idea.
Jungkook was soft and kind, a model of a good friend, and you were grateful, you really were.
But even as he made sure you were comfortable, asking what you needed and if you wanted anything, you couldn't help but wish it was Jimin taking care of you again, holding you to sleep so you can rest and let go of all your worries. Protecting you from the man in your nightmares and anyone who may try to harm you.
But he wasn't Jimin, Jimin doesn't like you, he made up shit just to make you look bad.
"Y/N? Hey, what's wrong?"
You didn't realize you'd started crying until you felt the couch dip next to you, your friend leaning towards you.
"I'm still so scared, Jungkook."
"Of what?"
"He was there. On the mission. He was there."
"Who was there?"
"Do you remember where I told you I was before I moved here?"
"In the house?"
"Yeah. He was there. From the house."
"Shit." This leaves Jungkook's mouth with a hiss.
"I'm going to kill him for making you go in there."
Quick to stop Jungkook's growing anger, you argue.
"I didn't tell him anything so it's not like he knew or did it on purpose."
You pause for a moment to recollect your thoughts before continuing.
"The reason why I'm upset about what happened with Jimin is because,,, for a moment I thought he cared."
Jungkook gives you the signal to keep talking with a nod of his head.
"When things started to get out of control, he went up to get me. He didn't even think about it."
"What do you mean?"
"He could've left me there by myself, or he could've just found a way to stop him and then not mention it but he took care of me. He was so kind and gentle. He washed my hair and he calmed me when I was panicking and he waited until I was asleep to sleep too, it felt like he genuinely cared."
This shocked Jungkook – there was practically no one that managed to calm you down when you were in panic, not even him. So hearing that Jimin, out of all people, was able to still your worries, had him rethinking the entirety of the circumstances.
After a beat of silence, you speak again. Maybe for yourself, Jungkook thinks, because your next words are uttered quietly;
"I feel so stupid for thinking he actually cared about me."
Jungkook, suddenly remembering the interaction he had with Jimin earlier that day, blurts out words without thinking.
"He was looking for you today. Jimin."
You turn to him with wide eyes, and he guesses that if he already started talking, he might as well finish.
"Near the end of lunch he was looking for you. I ran into him by the elevator. He asked me if I knew where you were."
Jimin asked for you?
"And what did you tell him?"
"That it was none of his business. He didn't let it go that easily though. Said he was worried about you because you didn't show up to lunch with him or something."
Jimin was worried? About you? He was waiting for you to show up to lunch?
"Anyway I told him off, it was pissing me off that he was acting so innocent."
"How did you tell him off?"
"Basically I told him that I knew he was spreading shit about you and that he should fuck off. He kept swearing that he didn't know anything and I gotta give it to him, he's one hell of an actor. Teared up and everything."
"But Jimin never tears up."
"I know. Which is why I'm saying; bro can act."
You sat on it for some moments before speaking again.
"Do you think its possible that maybe it wasn't him?"
Surprisingly, Jungkook actually thought about it before responding.
"Well I mean, who else could've done it?"
"I don't know"
Yeah, exactly. I know you wanna have faith in him but-"
"Its just weird to me."
"I know."
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Jimin was losing any hope he had left that you'd be willing to talk to him. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn't get a hold on you.
You, on the other hand: wouldn't say you were avoiding Jimin, just more or less calculating your schedule to minimize any possible interactions.
No, you're clearly avoiding him.
You'd started showing up earlier to work so you could be safe in your office by the time Jimin usually got there, and you'd leave a little bit later than usual so you didn't have to run into him on your way out.
To make things even harder on him, Jungkook could basically be considered your bodyguard with how he was always trailing next to you.
It isn't until Jungkook noticeably leads you the other way when you're about to pass each other in the hallway that Jimin realizes that this is practically how it was before.
Before this mission, he had absolutely no significance in your life except that you thought he hated you. Maybe he was wrong to think that things would be different when you returned. And he doesn't know if it's for the best, but he's sure that it's not how he wants to go on.
Two more days pass by and based on the way you're still avoiding Jimin as best as you can, he figures that Yeonjun probably hasn't talked to you. He's not sure how much longer he can keep waiting on him to talk to you.
At this point, he might as well just tell Namjoon and Seokjin himself. He knows this should be one of those moments where Yeonjun matures and owns up to his mistakes, but he can't bare the broken look on your face any longer.
He's decided: he sends Yeonjun a quick text, "you took too long" and makes his way to the main office, barely knocking before throwing open the door.
"Namjoon, Seokjin. There's something I'd like to report."
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
"And please, don't be too hard on Yeonjun. He's not a bad kid, he's just a bit careless at times."
"We'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Jimin."
"If it's okay, I'd like to take my leave early today."
"Of course. Have a good weekend, Min. Fighting!" Seokjin giggles at his last remark, and Namjoon sends him another glare. (All 3 men in the room know that Namjoon secretly loves when Jin makes comments like that, but they'll keep that hidden for now.)

You were sitting in your apartment watching the droplets run down your window, tracing the lines they leave with your finger.
Thinking back to the conversation your bosses had pulled you aside for earlier today before you went home, you didn't know how to feel.
You didn't even know that Yeonjun was overseeing your task. Did Jimin keep that from you on purpose? Did he think it didn't matter if you knew or not because of his doubts of you? Was this planned?
But then you think back to the times you'd seen him in the office, what Jungkook said, how he'd acted before, maybe this was all a big misunderstanding.
Suddenly, a glimpse of the conversation you had with Jungkook resurfaced:
— "He kept swearing that he didn't know anything and I gotta give it to him, he's one hell of an actor. Teared up and everything."
"But Jimin never tears up."
"I know. Which is why I'm saying; bro can act." —
It felt like the air was sucked out of you as it started to sink in that Jimin was probably being honest when he was talking to Jungkook. Jimin, one of the few people to show you genuine kindness and patience. Jimin, Jimin, Jimin. You had to talk to him. You had to.
Everything after your realization grows muddled together; strings of you calling Jimin frantically asking for his address and hanging up before he can even respond, you getting on your bike, somehow making it to his apartment in one piece, knocking on his door and–
"Jimin."
"Y/N?"
"I'm sorry-"
"What-"
"I'm so sorry-"
"Woah, hey, hey. Come in. You're soaked- Did you bike here? Wha-"
"It wasn't you."
Jimin's eyes soften — he knows what you're talking about.
"It wasn't me."
You let Jimin finish wrapping a towel around you until he steps back to continue speaking.
"I'm really sorry for accusing you of saying all those things without even asking you about it."
"You don't have to apolo-"
"But I do. I should've heard you out before flipping out and assuming you would do something like that to me."
"Its not like I haven't given you any reason to distrust me."
"But you've also given me reasons as to why I should trust you."
"It's okay, I'm not mad at you at all I promise. I'm sorry that you had to go through all of this."
"It's not your fault."
"It's not yours either."
A silence washes over both of you, and as you stare at each other you realize that you'd moved closer to each other to the point where you could almost feel Jimin's breath on you while you were talking.
The soft feeling from that night at the hotel begins to reappear, and Jimin cuts through the silence to let it in deeper.
"Can't believe you ran all the way here."
He gently moves a strand of wet hair out of your face, and you think if you were in a cartoon, you'd be able to see hearts flying over your head.
"I can't believe it either."
You both giggle before Jimin squeezes your shoulder and grabs you by the wrist and begins to walk.
"You're gonna get sick if you don't dry up."
"Do you really think my immune system is that weak-"
Ironically, you're cut off by a sneeze and you don't know if you're actually sick or if you really heard Jimin murmur a "cute" under his breath.
He leads you into what you assume is his room, and he lets go of your wrist only to go rummage through some drawers.
"Here are some clothes, uhm- I mean, you should change. So you don't get like, sick or anything. You can shower if you want, or you can just change your clothes- whatever works best."
You giggled at Jimin's nervous rambling, but you were equally as flustered when he handed you his clothes and you realized that you were in fact in Park Jimin's room and he was giving you his clothes to change into.
"Oh, uh- thanks. I'll be- I'm gonna go- do that."
"Yeah. Cool. Yeah."
Running into the bathroom and locking the door, you expected the swirling in your stomach to settle down, but when you saw yourself in the mirror, wearing Jimin's clothes, being overtaken by his smell, your butterflies came tenfold.
Get a grip, Y/N. What are you? A high schooler?
Again, Jimin wasn't any better than you were. You walked out of the bathroom and he could've sworn he saw the light of the universe before his eyes; his shirt looked so big on you, your hair was still wet and a soft blush covered your cheeks – you were gorgeous, and he was starstruck.
Finally snapping out of his speechlessness, he walks towards you and grabs a small strand of your hair.
"Your hair's still wet."
All you can do is nod: he is so close.
"You want me to dry your hair?"
"Yeah."
Now it wasn't just butterflies flying around in your belly, there were bees and hummingbirds buzzing in there as well; maybe that night wasn't just a one time thing, maybe you'd get to feel the gentleness of his hands flowing through you again.
"Come on."
He grabs a stool and walks back into the bathroom, and you follow.
It's almost funny – how natural everything feels. You sitting down while Jimin finds a brush and the hair drier, the way he cards his fingers through your hair, even the soft stares through the mirror, both of you blushing and looking away at any eye contact.
You almost fall asleep right then and there; how could a person you so new to you make you feel this safe? You're not sure, and Jimin isn't either, but you doubt it's a bad thing. It's not a bad thing at all.
"Not sure if it's too soon but I'd like to say that this hair thing might be our thing." Jimin says as he finishes drying and brushing your hair. You smile up at him and nod, and he's so close again.
"Hold on, you have one out of place." You think you might be becoming obsessed with the gentleness of Jimin's touch, or even just Jimin himself.
Jimin can't look away from you even if he tried. He's scared he'll cross a line that you aren't ready to cross over, so he's watching you carefully to see how you're reacting. He's convinced that seeing you like this is his new favorite sight; your eyes are droopy and your shoulders are slumped, you're leaning into him (are you even aware that you're doing that?), and it makes his chest swell with what might be a mix of pride and fondness. For you to feel safe enough to let your guard down, to forgive him even after everything, it makes even the colors of the room look brighter; you make everything brighter.
The room feels still – you swear that Jimin just looked at your lips. You know you've had your fair share of mind tricks, but for once, you don't think you've imagined this.
You know you aren't imagining this when Jimin's hand leaves your hair and trails from your cheek down to your chin: this is what you mean when you say you feel like you're becoming obsessed with Jimin's touch.
The way his thumb softly traces your bottom lip shakes you all the way to your knees, and, yep. He's looking at your lips. You want to blame it on instinct, the way you lean into him and look to his lips as well, but there is not instinct teaching you this. It's Jimin, your driving force. The driving force of the lick of his lips, the change in his eyes, his breath on your skin.
You always thought the movies were overly corny when they said that kissing someone felt like fireworks exploding or like bells ringing but now you think they were downplaying it.
Kissing Jimin makes you feel alive.
He feels that you're unsure, and he pulls away at the first sign of hesitation.
You have to stop a whimper from leaving your mouth at the loss of his on your own.
"Are you okay? With this, I mean." His voice sounds the same way it did that morning when he had just woken up and it makes you even more excited. So much so that you don't know what to do with your hands, so you clutch his shirt and move him closer to you while nodding.
Jimin doesn't think you notice that a whine actually leaves your lips, and it makes him chuckle before leaning back in. He would tease you just to get more sounds out of you but he's just as needy as you seem to be, surely even more.
This time you seem more sure, more intentional, but he still takes the lead. This time it is a bit funny, how in sync you are. His lips against yours, the push and pull of your bodies, it's intoxicating.
Suddenly the thought of having to go back home and being away from Jimin pops into your head and this time you do whine. You start to kiss him more urgently, and thankfully, he kisses you with the same hunger. You're standing now but your weight is almost entirely on him. His hands are firm on your waist and yours move to the back of his neck. It's dizzying, how electric this feels.
You're the one to pull away first, feeling breathless. Jimin understands, so he cups your face with both of his hands and internally he's fighting against the urge to squish your cheeks. Instead, he plants a kiss on your forehead then puts his forehead against yours.
"Stay the night?"
"Yeah.
You know you'll talk about it later. The misunderstandings and the kisses and the butterflies and bees, but for now being close to each other is enough. You have nighttime, and you have tomorrow, and time again and again.
For now, being close to each other is enough.

====================================
Thunder Buddy
Pairing: Loki x reader
Warnings: fluff, cuteness, tad bit of jealousy
Summary: loki couldn't help but feel a little jealous when your attention was on his brother, but he also didn't want it any other way....
Tumblr media
If you were thankful for two things in your life, they would have to be Loki and Thor. When they first arrived at the tower you instantly bonded with Thor, quickly becoming thick as thieves. You showed him around the city, teaching him there was more then pop tarts to eat. He rapidly became your best friend. But your eyes never strayed far from his dark haired brother. You were drawn to him, intrigued by him, and you wanted more.
The closer you got to Thor, the more you noticed Loki's eyes on you, boring into you, peering into your soul. Whenever you were around Thor, Loki wasn't far. So you decided to do something about it. You caught Thor in the kitchen alone one day with new determination "Hey thunder, can I ask you something?" You asked sitting at the counter "of course sunshine." He said looking at you "your brother, is he available?" You asked "I believe so, I can go grab him for you." He said "no, I mean is he seeing anyone, dating? Courting?" You went on. "Oh, not to my knowledge, why?" He smiled as you blushed.
"Well, I may or may not kinda sorta....well you know." You said fidgeting with your fingers. "Y/n, do you want to court my brother?" He asked leaning on the counter raising his eyebrow at you. "I umm..well you see, he....ummm." you tried as your brain went into overload. Hearing Thor laugh you looked up "Well, if you want to ask him, I believe he would agree." He smiled. "Would he? I mean I'm not special or anything, and he's....oof, I have no words for what he is. What if he laughs at me?" You said looking up at Thor.
"Sunshine, your thinking too much into it, you are smart, powerful, beautiful. He would be a fool to turn you down" he said. "Ok, im gonna ask him, should I ask him? No, i will ask him!" You said slamming your hand on the counter. "That's the spirit, now go. I'm sure he's not far" Thor smiled as you nodded getting up. "Thor?" You asked as he looked at you "w..what if he says no?" You said quietly. He came around the counter grabbing your shoulders "if he says no, I will personally punch him for you, and take you for ice cream?" He smiled making you laugh as you wrapped your arms around his middle.
"Thank you Thor, wish me luck?" You said looking up at him "you don't need it sunshine, but good luck." He smiled as you took off down the hall, the rest as they say is history. You did go to Loki's room that day, and among other things asked him out. He was everything you had ever dreamed of, and two years later, you had become Mrs. Laufeyson and were expecting your first child. Your life couldn't possibly have been better.
You had the occasional disagreement but honestly, who didn't. Your latest being among the many surrounding your friendship with his brother. You understood his side, you reassured him Thor was nothing but a friend, but sometimes those thoughts would work their way in and it was harder to get through to him. Loki was called on a mission, one that would take days. You being eight months pregnant, Thor insisted on sticking by your side the entire time. You called Loki everyday day, multiple times, assuring him baby had not arrived and you were fine.
One night, there was a bad storm, you usually didn't have issues with them but the thunder was almost deafening. So you picked up your phone, calling Thor asking him to stay with you until the storm passed. You put on a movie while Thor made popcorn and settled down. Sometime in the night, falling asleep leaning on the God. You woke the next morning to Loki yelling in the hallway, and no Thor. You rolled out of bed, slowly making your way to the door rubbing your eyes, opening it seeing Loki angrier then you had ever seen him, and Thor looking like a kicked puppy.
"What's going on?" You asked as they both looked at you. "Nothing darling, my brother was just leaving." Loki said storming inside. "What happened?" You looked up at Thor. "I accidently fell asleep and he came home and well..." he said looking down. "It wasn't your fault Thor, I'll talk to him." You said rubbing his arm as he nodded. "I'm sorry if I caused any grief, I only wanted to be there for you lady y/n." He said looking up. "You were, and you are. You are my very best friend Thor, he knows that" You said as he nodded. You wrapped your arms around him "it will be ok, I promise." You said squeezing him. "Thank you y/n." He said as he wandered off.
"Loki laufeyson, can you come here please?" You said, lowering yourself onto the couch as Loki came out of the bathroom. "Yes love, what is it?" He snapped as you looked at him "no, come here. Sit down." You said pointing next to you. He sighed, walking over sitting down. "If this is about my brother, i..." he started as you put your hand up. "Loki my love, you know how much I absolutely love and adore you, and I have never given you reason to distrust me right?" You asked rubbing your belly. "No dear, you haven't, it's just.." he started again. "Last night, was my doing. You weren't here, and there was a bad storm and i asked Thor to sit with me until it passed, and apparently we fell asleep." You said shifting your hips.
"Now, I know how it must have seemed when you came home and saw that, I really do understand, I may have stabbed you if you were in the same position." You said hearing him laugh "but please know love, he is my brother in law, my best friend, the uncle to our child. There is nothing else there." You said grabbing his hand. "I want you, and only you no one else." You said as he looked at you. "I know love, I'm sorry I just, I really love that you two get along so well, if it wasn't for him I may not have you. I just, I get jealous sometimes." He said looking down. "And I understand Loki, I really really do, you don't think I want to slap every woman that touches you?" You said as he laughed again.
"And I trust you, I know you'll come home to me, but it doesn't stop that voice in my head telling me you'll find someone better, or prettier, or that doesn't look like a cow." You said pointing to your stomach. "That is not true, you are radiant with my child growing In you" he smiled rubbing his hand across your stomach. "Well thank you." You smiled "and I also know your relationship with your brother had been rocky at best, but neither of us would ever do anything to hurt you love." You said cupping his cheek. "I know love, I'm sorry." He said "don't be sorry, it's ok. I will spend my life telling you every single day how much I love you" you said as pulled him to you kissing him.
"Now, what do you say we go find him, he was feeling pretty bad about everything when he left." You said as you tried to lean forward "Here darling, let me help." He said, pulling you to your feet. "Aahh this baby needs to get out of me now." You growled as he laughed "You shall be free soon love." He said kissing your head. You grabbed his hand, linking your fingers "Come on Mischief, I need my thunder Buddy back." You said as he laughed. "Does he know you call him that?" He asked laughing "yes he does, he thinks I'm adorable thank you." You smiled as he hugged you "Well, at last we agree on something." He smiled kissing you as you both went to find Thor.

Group project
It was a mistake
You knew you shouldn’t have tried something new. Shouldn’t have gotten out of your comfort zone, it never leads to anything good.
You were practically running down the stairs, trying to escape whatever the fuck that club was. Why’d you have to be curious about VAMPIRES out of all things? Why not butterflies, or flowers? No. It had to be blood sucking vampires and u had to join a club with a bunch of fanatics who won’t stfu and are too graphic about how to kill a vampire. Especially that blondey monoma , Fucking creep. He made u so uncomfortable that u just ran out the minute he started talking. The details made queasy and light headed. You felt as if you lungs were gonna pop you were breathing so hard, when you got out of the club and onto campus, you realise your frantic breathing wouldn’t stop, tears were running down your face, everything was spinning and you were scared.
What was happening? Why does it hurt so much? Why can’t you breathe??Are you having a panic attack right now?
These questions didn’t help you calm down and you felt as if you were gonna pass out so you found a nearby bench to sit on and closed your eyes, trying to get your breathing to settle. Not a minute later u hear a very tired but worried voice say, “Hey…are you ok?”
You look up to see droopy half lidded purple eyes with eye bags that can rival a science major. His indigo hair was unruly and you recognised it somwhere…
“Hey! Can you hear me, are you ok?” Repeated the purple haired boy. You finally focused on him and shook your head. He came closer and put a hand on your shoulder, crouched down and looked into your eyes, “ Answer me with your words this time. Are you ok?”
Struggling to even move you push the word no out in a desperate and clumsy manner.
“Calm down and breathe slowly “
Suddenly, it all stopped, your breathing slowed and the tears stopped, you were fine but it felt strange, like someone pressed the off button and you were kinda sleepy. “You feeling better?”
The boy was staring at u the whole time, he looked slightly relieved.
“Yeah I’m ok thanks, how’d you do that?”
His eyes widened and a slight smirk broke his neutral expression “I didn’t think you’d notice. It’s my quirk, brainwash” he said offering you a hand. You took it, tucking That new information somewhere in ur brain. When you got up u nearly hit the floor again your legs were so wobbly
“Hey be careful! My quirk doesn’t deal with the aftermath”, the purple crayon said(I got tired) while grabbing your elbow and hip to steady you.You guys were standing fairly close in this position and it gave you time to figure out where U know him from. U also took this time to take in all the features u missed. He had dimple when he smiled and unusually sharp canines, his hair was indigo yes but there was a few different shades of purple In his hair aswell, small segments of lavender and violet making beautiful patterns of highlights. His eyes were quite unique as well, while purple wasn’t an unusual colour these days due to quirks, his had a thin sheen of red and his pupils were thinned out, like an angry cat. By the time he started getting uncomfortable with u staring it clicked.
“Allcock”, U blurted out.
His whole face went through 4 different emotions but he soon had a neutral expression with an eyebrow raised.
“What did u just say?” He asked with an amused glimmer in his eyes.
Blushing, realising what u just said, you give him a sheepish smile, “professor allcock, we take the same philosophy class.”
“Oh”
“Yeah I recognised u by ur hair, I actually didn’t know u had a Face”
His eyes widened and he tipped his head back in laughter.
“Really?I didn’t realise. I normally just record what the prof is saying on my computer. Speaking of class, what are you doing here? Class is in”-he checks his watch-“4 hours.”
You stand there in silence, mulling over whether U should tell him or not you should tell him the truth. You close your eyes and decide to come clean, “I’ve recently been interested in vampires and there’s a club on campus that specialises in vampires so I wanted to check it out but they were way too graphic and made me very uncomfortable so I ran out and then I-“
“Hey, hey, breath ok? We don’t want another panic attack on our hands do we?” He says with a reassuring yet playful smile.
You nod embarrassed, trying to catch your breathe.
After your breathing is normal you realise it’s gotten a silent. Awkward silent. While u were looking for ways to fix it, he beat u too it, breaking the silence with, “Tell you what, If u be my partner for the next philosophy project, I’ll tell u what you need to know about vampires.”
You look at him suspiciously, “what do you know about vampires?”
He looks around him to see if there was anyone around before smirking and coming closer to your face.
He bends down a little and opens his mouth, u stare in confusion then amazement as he makes his canines sharper and hollow. You look at his eyes and that red sheen starts glowing brighter and brighter until his irises are no longer seen. Your eyes go wide and u gasp, “You’re a-a-!”He quickly puts his hand over your mouth before bringing a finger to his grinning one with a wink.
“So how about it huh? Do we have a deal?”
Still in shock you nod your head yes. He smiles wider before asking you for your phone, you absentmindedly take it out and unlock it for him. As he taps away you can’t but feel like your dreaming.
He’s a vampire, I love vampires! They’re so cool. Oh my god, I’m gonna do my project with a real life vamp-
A notification from his phone interrupts your thoughts and he hands your phone back to you
“There. See u in class!” He says with a wave and turns around, walking away.
You wave back before looking down at your phone and rolling your eyes at what he saves himself as:
‘Cool vampire dude’
You assumed the notification from his phone was a text he sent himself so you checked, you were right but this time the message made you smile fondly;
‘💜💜💜’
Im taking so long to write pt 4 of the Megumi ff so have this shitty shinso ff I wrote in April😋

Writing A Story Part 2: So... What To Do With A First Draft?
Tumblr media
Well, What Is The Importance Of A First Draft?
Hey Zeeba!
Oh, a first draft is really important! You can't just go out there and write anything and then post it.
...Well, you can, but like, it would be way better quality if you did write a first draft first.
I'm not telling anyone to write in a specific way, this is just my experience and research! I hope it helps you.
* * *
You start your writing process:
Like they say, starting is the most essential yet challenging aspect of any project – including writing.
I want you to dive in without nay research. Writing down everything that comes to your mind creates a pattern you can follow as you proceed.
The ideas you type will lack quality in punctuation, grammar or presentation. However, when you actually write them down, you can say that your writing process has begun.
2. It lets your creativity do it's job.  
When you know your writing is allowed to look its worst as a rough draft, you become willing to give your creativity free rein.
You become free to explore characters and writing styles because you understand that the planned book or content can take a different turn in the course of the writing refinement.
As a writer with a rough draft, it is okay to make mistakes. You should make mistakes, actually. It feels fantastic when you go back and fix them the next day or hour.
3. You can feel and touch your ideas.
With a rough draft in your hands, you have a better understanding of your ideas: what to add or remove, how to proceed, if you should follow the structured outline or create a new one.
The story may even change totally because you are now more aware of better ways to present your idea.
Creating drafts will help you visualize your book, article or fanfic, and understand how much more work you still need to do.
You can also have a beta [if you write fanfics] or an editor for your story! Someone with a fresh point of view. If you want, I'll even be ready to beta-read something for you! It's fun.
_____________________________________________________________
Okay fine, A First Draft Is Important, But... How Can I Exactly Write A First Draft?
Ok, here is a checklist of everything that I do in a first draft!
Obviously, things are gonna be a little different for you guys, but I think my methods would be a good starting point for you.
I've learned these things from experience, and I know that you might be like,
'Why does writing a first draft need to be this complicated?' but the act of writing itself is incredibly hard for a lot of writers out there. And I wish to help you with that!
1- Listen To Music:
I usually do this a day before writing, or a few hours before it.
Music inspires me a lot, and it is a big part of my life and my writing process.
Scenes flow to my head easily, and my mind feels free to explore different scenarios and options with the sound of the beats in my head.
Whenever I write fanfics, I walk and listen to music for a few hours before doing so. It helps my brain think: I'm not sure if this is scientifically proven, but it helps me a lot!
2- Write Everything Down On Paper:
I type my fics and stories on a computer, but I always enjoy writing an outline or rough ideas or literally anything that comes to my mind on a scrap of paper.
I might doodle, and I might write some sentences. It eventually helps me in the long run, but I totally get it if that's not your thing!
3- Get Infront Of The Computer:
I sit in front of my laptop, munch on an apple and think about what I'm gonna write.
Imagine scenes, characters, anything. Just it Infront of the laptop and stare at the empty google document to get myself emotionally ready.
4- Write Sentences, Not Paragraphs:
Write the beginning of sentences, not the actual paragraph. Like, Write something like this:
He stared out of the window.
The sky was bright.
He bit his lip.
5- Add To The Sentences:
Then, add to the sentences in a way that doesn't make you stressed out. Make it a simple rough draft, baby!
He stared out of the window. His face was ashen with fear, and he knew what was about to come.
The sky was bright. He knew it would be unbelievable to anyone he said this to, but it wouldn't be so clear and bright after tonight.
He bit his lip. He wished he could will the fear away, but it was not possible.
6- Write Anything That Comes To Your Mind:
The right order? Who the fuck cares.
Write anything that comes to your mind, anything. Just write the whole thing in under an hour and get away from your computer.
7- Go back the next day and finish everything up. Don't be ashamed of anything you've written, they were meant to be terrible pieces of writing! Your finished draft is much better
_____________________________________________________________
What Are Some Dos And Don'ts Of Writing A First Draft?
Again, my opinions and experiences, and other people's experiences pulled into this Article! I hope this works for you:
DO:
Just Write.
Many writers make the mistake of revising their work as they go—fine-tuning each sentence and reorganizing thoughts at every step.
Leave in typos and misspellings. Allow yourself to ramble and write nonsense. Go on tangents. You may be surprised with where they take you.
Keep an Open Mind. 
Remember that often the end result of an author’s work hardly resembles their original intentions at all.
While your first ideas for your book may be wonderful, try not to get overly attached to that initial vision.
I write a bunch of things that don't even make it to my AO3 account to get published, they just get used in another story. It's okay! It's great actually.
Explore your options.
Think of revision exactly how it sounds, as re-vision—envisioning again. Reflect on your original goals for the book.
Then, take a close look at the pieces you have and discover how they can be manipulated; to either reinforce or improve that original vision.
Consider what new directions you might take.
Trust your instincts. 
Write as many drafts as it takes for you to feel your book is complete. Generally speaking, the more revisions you go through, the more organized your ideas will become and the clearer your message will be.
However: Just because revision is important doesn't mean you’ll have to revise everything. Trust your writing and your voice, but be honest with yourself about what’s not working and what could be made better.
Be thorough. 
This is the time to delve into the technical details. Comb your writing with comma splices, track down typos, and break out your dictionary. 
.***.
DON'T:
Don't Worry About People:
What would my friends think if I tell them I’m a writer and then show them…this piece of garbage? What would my mother say? What would Mrs. Mcwhatever who I have never spoken to think when she sees this?
The good news is, I don’t need to worry about any of that.
You don't have to show your first draft to anyone, babe.
When I write my first draft, it can be as secret as I want it to be. And I never let anyone read a draft as I’m writing it. When it comes to novels, that sometimes means that no one can even look at it for about a year until it’s finished.
You're the one in charge. Don't worry about what people think.
Don't Write the First Draft for others
This may sound selfish at first, but the reason I first start writing a draft is because I came across an idea that I wanted to explore for myself, and only for myself.
Yeah, I see a prompt online and get excited, but that's because I wanna see where I take this story idea.
It’s not so much the destination as it is the journey that excites me.
Of course, once the draft has passed from the first draft stage to the revision stage, it’s important [if you want] to think about ideas that others have given you or to look at the story from an angle that you would never have thought of before.
As an example, doing multiple revisions can become a slog if the main character only knows what you know.
It’s fun to do research, and start incorporating different things into your story. But for the first draft, this is all you really need to worry about: Does this story excite me, the one whose writing it?
Don’t Think About It Too Much
Those who swear by writing with an outline will tell you that you can’t start even a rough draft without some sort of guideline.
And those who prefer to fly by the seat of their pants will say that outlines are a nuisance to society. I recommend finding someplace in between. I’ve had draft that went well without any sort of outline and drafts that were never finished when I had a step-by-step guide, and vice versa. It all depends on the story and on you.
But you don't have to think about that right now, when your writing the first draft, Zeeba.
You Don't Have To Know Where You're Going.
Hey! I hope that you enjoyed reading this, and that it helped you with your writing! I'm still learning a lot of things, what with being a new fanfic writer and all, and this is going to be a big archive of the tips, the tricks and the hacks that helped me through my writing journey! Again, let's all write with Gore <3

The Lady and the Lord
Chapter 3
Eddie munson x fem!reader
This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. 🥰
Chapter summary: more investigation 🔎
Chapter warnings: spoiler season 4
Tumblr media
Eddie sits in the boat and eats a big amount of cereal as Dustin speaks.
"So we got, uh, some good news and some bad news" he says. "How do you prefer it?"
"Bad news first. Always" he says with his mouth full.
"All right. Bad news. We talked into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you. Also, they, uh.. they're pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin explains.
"Like, 100% kind of convinced" Max adds.
What the fuck..
Eddie's expression is a mix of defeat and fear and sadness all together.
"And the good news?" He tries.
"Your name hasn't gone public yet." Robin answers "but if we found out about you, it's a matter of time before others do. And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gon a be gunning for you"
"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie's voice breaks a bit.
"Exactly" Robin nods.
I glare at Robin for a split second before turning back to Eddie.
"You're not a freak, Eddie. We're gonna fix this" I tell him.
"Yeah exactly!" Dustin agrees "so we need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence."
Everyone nods.
"That's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asks very sarcastically.
"Yeah, no, that's pretty much it." Dustin simply answers, not acknowledging the sarcasm.
"Listen, Eddie" Robin gets his attention "I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this before..."
"Yeah I gave him the speech earlier" I say.
"Great, so bottom line is, collectively, I really feel we got this" She adds.
"Told you" I tell him.
"Yeah, well we usually rely on this girl who has super powers. But, uh, those went bye-bye, so.." Steve says.
"So we're technically in more of the-"
"Brainstorming phase"
"There's nothing to worry about" Dustin splutters
Steve scoffs a little, keeping a, what he thinks is, a reassuring smile on his face and Eddie just looks at them confused, until we hear the police sirens wailing.
"Tarp" Robin says to Eddie, indicating him to hide.
We all run to the window to see the police car passing by, plus and ambulance.
"They're heading..." I start.
"Yeah" Max nods.
"Let's go" Dustin suggests.
Everyone gathers their things I just stand there, expecting to stay with Eddie again when he gently touches my arms to get my attention.
"You should go" he tells me.
"Am I that shitty for a company?" I joke.
He half laughs.
"Not at all, but... they're looking for me and if they find me and you with me they might think you're helping 'the killer' and arrest you too. It's not fair" he explains.
"Well it's not fair for them to come after you either" I complain.
"Yeah, I know. But I don't want you to get in trouble because of me, m'lady." He tries to flirt to enlighten the mood, but ends up only making blush.
"I fought against demonic creatures from another dimension, I think I can handle some close-minded cops" I say.
"Just go. Please. Do me the favour?" He asks looking at me with pleading doe eyes.
I could stare into his eyes forever..
Shit.
I shake my head.
"I..."
"I'm gonna be fine. I got my food, I got my.. drinks I'm okay." He tells me "plus.. they need some brain in their party"
"Hey!"
"What's that supposed to mean"
Both Steve and Dustin exclaims.
I turn around to see them visibly offended before being dragged out by Robin and Max.
"See? They need a brain" Eddie insists with a chuckle.
"Are you sure?" I check.
"Positive, m'lady" he say making a small bow.
"Okay okay" I slightly laugh at the gesture "you better be careful here, my lord"
I start to walk backwards to the door.
"Always" he winks at me.
That catches me off guard and I almost tripp on my way out.
"Oh! Careful yourself, beautiful" he sweetly mocks.
I just wave at him and get out. Releasing a sigh of relief.
I look up at the group waiting by the car.
All with a big teasing grin on their faces.
"What?" I ask rolling my eyes.
"Oh nothing" Robin says, keeping the grin on her face, we all get in Steve's car.
"Mhmm" I look at her.
"Seems like you had no problems talking to him at all." Steve says.
"Just drive, will you?" I tell him.
We arrive at the Forest hills trailer park, in no time finding a very distraught Nancy already there.
What's she doing here? Investigating, probably. Very Nancy style... but what happened?
"So you're saying that this things that killed Fred and Chrissy, it's from the Upside Down?" Nancy asks.
"If the shoe fits" Steve confirmes.
"Our working theory is that he attacks with a spell or a curse. Now, whether or not he's doing the bidding of the Mind Flayer or just love killing teens, we don't know" Dustin explains.
"All we know is that... this one's is different. It feels different" I add.
"Doesn't make any sense." Nancy shakes her head.
"It's only a theory" Dustin specifies.
"No, Fred and Chrissy don't make sense" she points out "I mean, why them?"
"Wrong place?" I try.
"They were both at the game" Dustin points out.
"And near the trailer park" Max adds.
"We're at the trailer park" Steve mentions, visibly worried. "Should we maybe not be here?"
"There is something about this place" Nancy starts explaining "Fred started acting weird the second wr gor here"
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"He was scared, on edge, upset"
The last word catches Dustin's attention.
"Max said Chrissy was upset too"
"Yeah, but not here. She was crying in the bathroom at school" She specifies.
"Serial killer stalk their prey before they strike right?" Robin asks.
"Usually, yeah" I reply.
"So, maybe, Fred and Chrissy saw this Vecman-"
"Vecna"
"Dunno about you guys, but if I saw some freaky wizard monster, I would mention it to someone" Steve suggests.
"Yeah, but you already faced things like this before, and you know the people to mention this to... they don't. They would think they're crazy" I tell him sadly.
"But maybe there's one person they might've told this to.." Max suggests. "I saw Chrissy leaving ms. Kelly's office. Y/n's right. Not everyone know about this stuff like us so.. if they saw a monster they definitely wouldn't go to the police, because they'd never believe them, but they might go to their.."
"Their shrink." Robin finishes and Max nods.
"Let's talk to Ms. Kelly then. She must know something" Steve says.
So we get up and walk to Steve's car, but Nancy just keeps walking.
"Whoa whoa Nance! Nancy!" Steve calls her. "Where are you going?"
"Oh there's just something I wanna check on first" she answers simply. Without elaborating.
"Care to elaborate?" I ask.
"I don't wanna waste your time. It's a real shot in the dark." She says.
"Yeah, okay. Are you out of your mind?" Steve's getting agitated. "Flying solo with this Vecna creep on the lose? No, it's dangerous. You need... you need someone to.."
Nancy just raises her eyebrows at him.
I think Steve here is forgetting who are the only two people who can actually use a gun... and he's not one of them.
"Here, I'll stick with Nance all right? You guys, take the car, check out the shrink" he tosses his keys at Robin.
"I don't think you want me driving your car" Robin declines right away.
"Why?"
"I don't have a license!" She says.
"Why don't you have a license?" Steve asks, surprised.
"I'm poor"
"Then Y/n will." Steve states.
"Yeah, same problem Stevie" I tell him.
"I can drive" Max intervenes.
"No, never again. Please. Anybody but you. No" Steve immediately says.
Dustin looks at him, silently offering.
"Not a chance"
"Come on"
"All right, okay. This is stupid" Robin scoffs, grabbing a walkie from Dustin's backpack, and walks to Nancy, giving Steve his keys back. "I'll go with Nancy, unless you think we need you to protect us" She then teases and starts to walk to Nancy's car.
Nancy just shrugs and walks behind her.
"Be careful" Steve shouts.
"You're just gonna stand there and gawk?" Dustin teases him, with an amused smile on his face.
"Shut up"
"C'mon you two, let's go" I scold them and we all get in the car.
"Always the babysitter, always the goddamn babysitter" Steve complains.
I just laugh as we drive off.
When we arrive at Ms Kelly's House Max walk up to the front door.
We see her talking to Kelly and then walks in.
"Okay she's in" Steve mutters.
"I'm missing collarbones, not eyes" Dustin tells him with his usual sass.
"And now we wait" I say.
After a moment of peace, Dustin breaks the silence.
"So..? We're gonna talk about... it?" He asks Steve, but look at me. I think I know exactly what he's talking about and I try hold back a small smile.
"Uh? Sorry, talk about what?" Steve asks confused.
"Your temporary insanity earlier today" Dustin says and I let out a small laugh earning a confused glare from Steve
"He's talking about today when you basically throw yourself at Nancy" I tell him.
"Okay first of all, that not what happened" he starts defending himself.
"Pretty sure that's what happens, right?" He turns to me for approval and I nod "it was pretty public."
"Are you two implying I still have a thing for Nance?" He ask in an accusatory tone.
"No. We're not implying. We're stating, and as it relates to tour steadfast refusal to date Robin, it's pretty much the only logical explanation" Dustin states.
If he only knew..
"That's not the only one" Steve says quietly "and as for Nance, I was just trying to protect a friend."
Dustin has a very unconvinced smile on his face.
"A friend, Henderson. Okay?" Steve repeats firmly. I don't wanna find her in the morning with her eyes sucked out of her skull by this Vecna creep."
"You're like bright read in the face right now" Dustin chuckles.
"I'm not" Steve defends.
"Yeah you are" I disagree.
"I don't wanna talk about it. I'll punch you so hard your teeth will fall back out"
Oh he didn't..
"Whoa. Too far" Dustin says.
Steve look at him with sorry and regret written all over his face.
"Not cool. Sorry." He says.
"It's okay" Dustin tells him quietly.
They nod in understanding and make peace.
"So..?" Dustin says again, fully turning to me.
I raise an eyebrow at him, questioning.
"Everything good with Eddie?" Dusting asks, I can hear the teasing tone behind him.
"Yeah.."
"Yeah, right, you two were very comfortable talking to each other, uh?" Steve joins Dustin's teasing.
"I.. no, I mean.." I stutter.
"C'mon.. he does have a thing for you" Dustin tells me.
"He doesn't" I insist.
"He does, every day at lunch He always looks your way. Always asks about you.." Dustin tells me.
"You're just saying that" I roll my eyes.
"No I'm not" he chuckles "he really does. He also asked me and Mike how come we know someone as beautiful as you"
I blush at the thought of him thinking that I am beautiful, but that can't be true. I shake my head.
"It's impossible" I say with a dry laugh.
"Why?" Steve asks.
"Because no one could ever love me. Okay? I'm a fucking mess, no one would ever have the patience to.. to deal with someone like me" I snap, feeling my eyes tearing up and I blink the tears away.
"Y/n..." Steve starts.
"Here she comes" I tell the two boys.
Max runs back to the car, clearly agitated.
"Drive!" She says.
"What did she say?" Dustin asks.
"Nothing. Just drive" she answers.
"What do you mean nothing?"
"Nothing Steve just drive" she exclaims and Steve turn the car on and just drive off.
"I got her office's key. She wouldn't tell me nothing so I thought that there was a better place to find some answers" Max tells us as we far away from Ms Kelly's House.
"Illegal entry.. nice" I say sarcastically.
"Dustin? Dustin do you copy?"
We hear Lucas' voice coming from Dustin's radio, me and Max share a confused look.
"Lucas? Where the hell have you been?" Dustin asks, mad.
"Just listen. Are you guys looking for Eddie?" Lucas asks, his tone is agitated.. tense.
"We found him, no thanks to you." Dustin replies.
"You found him" Lucas is incredulous.
"He's at a boathouse on Coal Mill Road. Don't worry. He's safe." Dustin says to reassure his friend.
"You guys know he killed Chrissy, right?" Lucas says, with an almost smartass tone.
Is he for real? He should know better..
I loudly scoff.
"You serious?" I ask.
"That's bullshit" Dustin agrees. "Eddie tries to save Chrissy."
"Then why do all the cops say he did it?" He asks back.
Tired of their bickering, Max grabs the radio to talk to Lucas.
"Lucas, you're so behind it's ridiculous, okay? Just meet us at the school. We'll explain later"
"I.. I can't. I think some real bad shit's about to go down." He says.
"What are you talking about? What bad shit?" Max asks.
No answer.
"Lucas?"
"What happened?" I ask confused.
"No idea." Dustin answers.
Then an idea pops in my mind.
"Oh shit.." I mutter.
"What?" Max turns to me.
"The basketball team... Chrissy was Jason's girlfriend. Maybe he.. he wants revenge or some shit." I tell the others.
"Shit" Steve says.
The school at night time is a whole different atmosphere. Creepy and almost ghostly, especially when you're investigating about another dimension.
I feel a shiver going through my body... very creepy.
As we walk down the hallway to Ms Kelly's office Robin's voice can be heard clearly from the radio.
"Dustin, do you copy?" She asks, to gain pur attention.
"Yeah, I copy"
"So Nancy's a genius" Robin says.
They found something, great!
"Vecna's first victim date back all the way to 1959. Her shot in the dark was a bull's-eye." She tells us.
Holy shit.
"Okay, that's totally bonkers, but I can't really talk right now" Dustin replies.
"Wait. What are you doing?" Robin, obviously, asks.
"Breaking and entering school to retrieve confidential and extremely personal files" he says, simply, like it was nothing.
"Can you repeat that?"
"Just get over here, and soon" I say grabbing Dustin's radio.
Thanks to Max we manage to enter Ms Kelly's office, getting immediately to work at looking for Chrissy's file.
All while Dustin and Steve talks about... Hawkinsgate.
"Holy shit" Max exclaims.
"You found it?" I ask her getting closer.
"Yeah, and not just Chrissy's file. Fred was seeing Ms Kelly too.
"What?" We all look at her.
She then sit at the desk and starts to read Chrissy's file, looking for... literally anything at this point, that might help us.
I can sense she's getting agitated, but I can't understand why.
"Can I see Fred's file?" She then asks.
"Yeah" Steve hands her the file and she immediately opens it, almost like she knew exactly what to look for and then...
"Max?" I calm for her, but she doesn't answer.
I look at Steve, worried and confused.
"Max?" I try again.
No answer, again.
