Dizzy the Dalmatian

via x x x x

Born October 7, 2000

Black and white is just a bore I can't stand it anymore Purple, green or maybe blue Think I'll see what I can do!

In addition to Beanie Buddy, Jingle Beanie and key clip incarnations, Dizzy the Beanie Baby has 5 variations. From most to least common: colored spots with black ears; colored spots with colored ears; black spots with black ears with a red collar (instead of a ribbon); black spots with colored ears (UK); and black spots with black ears (Canada).

The key clip has a red collar, but the Jingle Beanie has a scarf! Isn't that cute?

This is just going to be me being sad and venting about my day struggling with the fiberglass dust so feel free to scroll by, I won't judge.

I've spent hours trying to vacuum up the fiberglass dust and I feel like I've barely made a dent. I'm throwing out a lot, and a lot of it I could handle, like my old comfy recliner that probably wasn't going to fit the room all that well, or my little fabric end tables.

But some, like the little paper and fur lion puppet my mom got for me when she visited China, were far too fragile to clean with a vaccuum or lint roller or damp rags. Worse, things like that are irreplacable. My mom's retired now; she doesn't travel for business anymore, so there's no getting another puppet with that kind of meaning. That's the kind of stuff I cried over while throwing away.

robber!ino takuma — thirst.

— smut, noncon, thievery. unedited

it had been just another peaceful night for ino, strolling down some rich suburban neighborhood at the kick-off of midnight, searching for a pretty home with lots of valuable junk that he’d be able to make another wad of cash from. it was how he made his source of income, and he was quite enthusiastic about it.

time hadn’t passed much when he came to the sight of your home, the lights were off, and it felt as though no one was home — vacationing, maybe. he pulled his balaclava down over his face, picking out a pair of make-shift universal keys to pick at the lock of your front door. the knob jingled once, twice, and then thrice before it clicked, signally it’s openance.

“damn.” he whispered under his breath as he treaded carefully into your home — or as carefully as the combat boots he wore allowed for. he couldn’t exactly piece together the feeling he felt sneaking around your living room then to your kitchen. you were one expensive bitch, you lived in a thief’s wildest fantasies.

meticulously, he made his way up the stairs, searching for any other rooms to swipe from — he reached your bedroom quite hastily, swinging the door open only to be met with your body under a thin blanket, dreaming away. had his mind been in a stable state, he would’ve left quickly, took a few personal items and made his leave , yet the sight of you, so innocently sleeping as if there were no dangers around spurred him on. you were pretty, and he’s regret it for life if he didn’t make his move.

he kicked off his shoes, inching closer to your bed. he pulled up his balaclava so that it sat like a beanie atop his head, giving him a less obstructed view of you while he diligently removed your covers.

holy fuck.

you were sleeping in a simple satin nightgown that bunched up at your waist. takuma was gentle in pulling your panties down. your folds glistened beautifully under the moonlight, it was clear as day that you’d been dreaming of something special.

his cock ached in its confines. he knew that he needed you now. taking the bottom of his shirt between his teeth, he worked quickly to undo the zipper of his pants, setting his cock free. he was thick, leaked a heavy amount. wasting no time, he aligned his cock between your folds before slowly sinking in. he expected some sort of reaction from you, but was relieved when the rising and falling of your chest reminded him of your slumber. he starts up a slow pace before gradually speeding up.

you felt too good around him to keep himself contained. his brutal pace had your eyes flitting open, horror written on your seductively etched features. his hand was quick to cover your mouth, a friendly smile on his face contrasting to his actions.

“don’t be scared, pretty. just cum and i’ll be on my way.”

How I made my own vintage Pomni!

Based on this tutorial, with my own modifications and sewing pattern!

Let's begin!

Here's a total list of the things I used here.

Shiny fabric: blue and red

Acrylic paint. Colors: White,red,blue,black

Gold ribbon

White sculpey clay

Tin foil

Mod podge (for sealing the paint)

Jingle bells

Dark brown yarn

Glue

And depending on how you want to handle crafting the body you can either follow the original tutorial and make one out of any fabric you'd like, filling it with plastic beans and stuffing,

Or you can do what I did and cheat a little! I actually used the body of a beanie baby to save time. You'll find tons of these guys at the thrift store, usually for about a dollar each. The one I used for Pomni looked like this.

All I did was carefully undo the stitching on the bear's head and set Pomni's clay head in the opening!

Now for the steps! The first thing I did was gather my materials and make a concept sketch.

Then since I already had a body for Pomni, I rolled a ball of tin foil slightly smaller than I wanted the head to be, and covered it in sculpey clay. Then I molded the face into a nice cute shape! Don't worry if the back of the head is lumpy, you won't see it under the hat and hair.

Make sure to add a neck that tapers outwards at the bottom so the head stays in the neck hole of the plush body!

After baking the clay, I painted the head white and sketched out the face lightly with pencil before painting on the details. I even added a little bit of glitter to her eyes! Then when I was satisfied with the face, I sealed the paint with mod podge. It added a nice shine to her face which adds to the porcelain look!

I'd bought a clown doll at a thrift store with a similar outfit to the one I wanted to make for Pomni, which I reverse engineered to make my own pattern! Here's In-progress Pomni wearing the other doll's outfit.

I cut out these patterns to use for the outfit.

After cutting out the pants they should look like this when put together and folded. Turn them inside out and sew them together at the middle, including the crotch. Leave the top and the pant legs open.

The sleeves should look like this cut out and folded. Make sure they're inside out just like the pants, and sew these at the sleeve openings at the top. Remember to leave the neck hole open!

Here's where we add the ribbon at the ends! Fold up the base of the pant legs and sleeves to hem the ends, and scrunch up the gold ribbon to sew around the borders while you're hemming them. It'll scrunch the ends a little bit, giving the outfit that poofy look.

Then turn it inside out!

I sewed the bells on and put the outfit on pomni! Then I simply cut another piece of ribbon and made a little ruffle for her neck. It's not sewed to the outfit just so it's easier to take on and off.

For Pomni's hair I got the yarn and combed it out with a fine tooth comb until the texture became softer, and then used a flat iron on it (VERY briefly. just for a second!!!!) to straighten it out. For more tips on this look up yarn doll hair tutorials on youtube! Then I just glued it to her lil head and styled it like so.

I don't have any progress pics for the hat but it was pretty simple. Just cut out the shapes and sew them up!

Then add the hem with a ribbon folded in half, and the bells!

TADAA! A baby pompom for you!

✮ dishes breaking | satoru gojo

synopsis: your man finally comes back home from a long trip, there’s gonna be some dishes breaking.

contents: dirty talk, lowercase spelling, dishes breaking, smut.

inspired by: breaking dishes- rihanna

satoru’s arrival was long-awaited; you were pacing around the kitchen, waiting for your man to come home from his month-long trip.

it’s felt like years; the first week was okay, but then it just felt so different and empty without him.

his laughing, him complimenting your cooking, his sweet treat trips, his vanilla scent, his glossy lips, and his credit card.

the keys to the front door were jingling, and your ears perked up like a puppy waiting for its owner.

there he was in all his glory, a beanie on, sweatpants and a sweatshirt, wheeling in his suitcase.

before he could even get into the house good enough, you ran into his arms, his arms immediately embracing you.

he leans back, lifting you up off the ground, and you wrap your legs around his hips, his scent immediately entering your nose.

“ugh god, you smell so good; i hate you.” your arms squeezing around him so tight, and his are doing the same.

you look at him and take in his face, his nose red from the heat radiating off of you, his eyes still blue as ever, and his smooth white skin.

pressing your forehead against his, you push your lips against his soft, glossy ones.

after a couple of pecks, you lean back, and he fake-humps you, bouncing you up and down.

“missed you so fucking much.” he leans in, whispering in your ear and placing a kiss on your cheek.

you lean in, pressing your cheek against his, warming him up. “missed you too," mumbling against him.

he walks inside, taking one hand off of you, dragging his bag inside, and kicking the door closed with his foot.

not hesitating to immediately put his hand into your cheek, diving in for a kiss. the kiss was deep and passionate.

his lips moving in sync with yours as the taste of each other's chapstick sneak into your mouths, making the kiss sweeter.

satoru wastes no time walking to the closest place he can sit you down, that being in the kitchen.

his hand slides from your cheek down to your waist, playing with the hem of your shirt, tugging on it.

taking that as a sign, you hold onto him tightly with one hand and take the other, lifting up your shirt, and he pulls one of your arms out.

the kiss is still going, now mixing your saliva together as his slick tongue swirls around in your mouth.

his tongue sliding out every few seconds to give a wet, sloppy kiss, little saliva love strings connecting the two of you.

walking into the kitchen, his eyes slide over the counter with a few dishes in patterns, and he flips you down on an empty spot.

of course you don’t notice; you’re too into this. you missed him so much, aching for him every minute of the day and him doing the same.

disconnecting the kiss again, he places both of his hands on both sides of you and just stares, a grin appearing on his face.

your shirt halfway off and your panties soaked, even when he’s just grinning like an idiot, he looked so damn good.

time couldn’t wait; you don’t know when he would have to go ahead.

your legs lift up and wrap around his hips again, pulling him in. your ass scooting off the counter a little bit as you lean in to kiss him.

his sweet taste eluding on your tongue again, his hand pulling off one side of your shirt, then going to take the whole thing off, disconnecting the kiss.

those crystal blue eyes staring back at you again—you missed looking at them so much, even though they were slightly terrifying.

“wanna show how much you missed me?” satoru whispers out, his voice running through your ears like a waterfall.

a lump in your throat forming as he drops your shirt on the floor, staring at your breasts in your bra.

his hands reach out as he leans in, pushing his body against yours, creating a tiny, empty space between the two of you.

smiling, you touch his chest, pressing the bulky sweatshirt against him.

you laugh to yourself, playfully rolling your eyes and sighing annoyed.

“if this is going to take forever, i don’t want to do it.” satoru immediately stops what he’s doing and leans back, looking at your face.

his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth twisted, but his expression quickly softened when he saw that fake look you always have on your face.

he immediately leans back into you, unclasping. your bra and quickly leans down, sliding down your pants and panties together.

before you can even respond, he grabs his sweatshirt and immediately pulls it off, leaving on his white wife beater.

your hands go to his sweatpants to pull them down, but he slaps them off, a sly smirk on his face.

“shouldve kept your mouth shut.” his voice deep as he takes both of his hands, spreading your thighs and pushing your knees up.

“put your feet up there.” his tone was demanding, wondering if you should try to be bratty, but you’re way too horny for games, so you comply.

satoru gets right in front of you; his body is so close that it’s making you feel like this is the first time.

pulling down his sweats and briefs, his long dick popping out and hitting his stomach, happy to finally be freed but also happy to see you.

your mouth is salivating at the sight, but you have to keep cool.

“happy to see me, hm?” your body becoming more aware of what’s happening, sending tingles throughout you, and warming you up.

“always.” he replies, taking his shaft in his hand and lining up with you, carefully and slowly sliding inside you, his face leaning closer and placing a kiss on your lips.

his whole length is now inside you, taking all of you in as you clench around him. the cold air brushing against your nipples makes them even harder.

“your pussy been waiting for me, hm?” his voice was softer than earlier, making him even sexier. the walls of your pussy pulsing from his voice.

all you could do was nod, but satoru knew you could do better than that. the first day back, and you’re acting shy? no can do sweetheart.

he reaches out and grabs your jaw, leaning in so you’re forehead to forehead and nose to nose.

“use your words; i taught you how.” his voice is now back deep, making you salivate on his shaft.

gulping you out on a condensed smile and answering back to him, “mhm, who knows, maybe i was waiting for someone else.”

that bitchy snap back, making him scoff, tighten his grip on your jaw, and pound into you, causing the dishes to rattle against each other.

“do you think talking back is going to make me fuck you harder?” his hips pulling back, then slapping back into you again, your heels almost slipping off the counter.

the cloth of his shirt pressing against you, making you even more aroused and needy for him.

“i do; that’s why i said it.” you hips pushing back into his, making his dick go deeper, almost kissing that spot you ached for and craved to be touched for weeks.

his jaw clenches as he looks deep into your beautiful eyes—the eyes that he’s imagined in so many ways while he was gone.

his pace was only getting faster, and he was hoping he wouldn’t finish too fast.

one last stroke, and he finally hit your sweet spot, arousal shooting through your spine as your back arches and your hands spread behind you, accidentally knocking a plate off.

“oh shit.” you try to turn your head, but satoru has a tight grip on your jaw.

“don’t pay attention to that; pay attention to me.” he says pushing deeper inside you, your legs quivering and your toes curling.

the pleasure deep inside you is boiling over. you’ve been aching for this, but it felt too good, and he knew it.

“hm? you don’t like it?” he fake pouted, pushing his lips into yours and pulling out halfway, then in fully.

his lips disconnecting from your lips once more, your legs still quivering, and your breathing pattern getting inconsistent.

you shake your head, wanting to say something, anything, but nothing comes out but a whimpering, pathetic moan.

satoru pushes into you again, holding the position once more and placing a kiss on your lips, looking at you.

“breathe… you know how to take it.” his voice soft, making your stomach drop, or, so you thought, a knot forming in the pit of your stomach.

your cunt is squeezing his cock so tight it can break off; those words sending every single pleasurable feeling through your bones.

the feeling of butterflies still flying through your stomach at his words, he slides out of you again once you unclench, then thrusts into you again.

your back arching, but his second thrust sends your body back, falling on the counter, dishes moving every which way, and some falling.

your head turning, trying to see where the dishes are falling, but satoru’s hand is still gripped on your jaw.

“pay attention to me and how good you feel.” his jaw immediately clenches when he feels his body starting to jolt.

an overwhelming amount of pleasure seething in his lower stomach, riding through to his shaft, the veins on his dick pulsing.

his eyes were still locked on yours, trailing over every feature of your face, making it harder for him to hold it in.

your stomach is sucking in and out every second, trying to hold in and savor every piece of pleasure he’s giving you.

a lump forming in the middle of your throat as your eyes roll back, trying to focus on something else so you can stay in this moment.

satoru’s hand unclenches from your jaw and moves to your chest, just rubbing it for a few seconds, taking in how soft it is.

“the dishes," you let out. the only thing that came to mind was the fine, expensive china rattling on the counter and taking turns topping over the edge.

satoru shakes his head, letting out light shushing noises that are still rubbing your chest, and your legs are now collapsing over the edge of the counter.

his other hand grabbing one leg and traveling up to your thigh, holding and gripping it; that expression plastered on his face, making him gulp.

“good god… look at you; you’re doing just a good job.” his words of encouragement travel through your ears and down your spine.

even if they sounded like innocent words of encouragement from your partner, they had a sinister, nasty undertone, causing you to tremble and tighten around him.

your body jolting once more as his final thrust sends you over the edge, a dish or two topping over and the knot in your stomach falling.

quickly sliding out of you from the tightness of your cunt, he slides his length on top of your pussy releasing.

his warm cum setting on top of you, your eyes relaxing back into its original state, and your body easing up into the cold surface.

your once-warm body is feeling the coolness of your surroundings once again, satoru still staring at that beautiful face of yours.

“wanna break a couple more dishes?” a smirk lingering on his lips as he leans down.

hmm… why not?

authors note: this was supposed to be out last week i'm ngl, i've just been busy and did in fact celebrate 4/20 so i fell asleep before i really got any work in on it.

view my master list here

april twentieth had to be your favorite day. the day your people got together to celebrate a plant helping them with the cruel world. this year you were happy to say your best friend nate would be joining you and your friends.

you pulled the tank top over your head, looking at yourself in the mirror before grabbing your watermelon flavored lip balm that your friend nick gave you.

you opened the tube, twisting the product up some before smearing it on your lips and smacking them together.

you slid on a pair of shoes, grabbing your pink bag containing pre-rolls and dabs, grabbing your keys and exiting your house. you locked the door and climbed in the driver's seat of your car, pulling away from your house.

you pulled up to the dispensary, walking into the shop. the bell above the door jingled when you pushed it open. "my favorite - shouldn't be here - customer," a girl with curly black hair and tattoos covering her arms smiles.

"hellooo whitney," you smile, walking up to the older woman. "need a new cartridge?"

"i mean... i didn't, i came in here for more dab, i'll be out by the end of the night. but do you have the blueberry kush west coast cure cartridge since i'm here?"

whitney nodded her head, you had come in a while back looking for one, but they didn't have any in stock. "you're in luck, we just got our inventory for the month last week."

you followed the woman to the back, not that you were supposed to be there since it was employees only. "hey, y/n," a guy with a backwards hat and gages greeted.

"hey axel," you greet, stopping behind whitney as she digs through boxes. "how are the babies?"

axel grins, his eyes crinkling up at the corners. "good, my girlfriend took the week off work so she could stay with them."

"ohhh that's so nice," you say. you had seen the twins a few times, even being blessed enough to babysit for a few hours while him and his girlfriend had date night.

whitney let out a small shout of success. "here it is, now, you're going to want to start low and then work your way up. you're a light weight compared to most of our customers."

you roll your eyes at her, "i am not," you huff. "that's not what i saw last time i did your nails," the lady grinned. whitney had been your go to for nails, having practiced while she was in high school.

"whatever," you roll your eyes, following her to the front. she rung up the dab, already knowing what her favorite customer liked and a cartridge. she stopped you before you swiped your card.

you watched as she scanned her badge, giving you a 30% discount. "i'll forever be grateful," you tell her.

"you know it. enjoy, have fun," she winked.

you walked back to your car, placing the white bag in the back before backing out of the parking space. you turned your left blinker on, turning out of the driveway.

the drive to nates house wasn't long, a whopping ten minutes. you pulled up to the curb, not even having time to pull up his contact before he was walking out the door.

you unlocked the doors, nate sliding in the passenger seat. "i hope you're ready to get baked out of your mind," you joke. he let out a small chuckle, taking the grey hood he wore off of his head, leaving him in his pink beanie.

"nice beanie," you muse, pulling away from his house and towards the park.

"thanks," he mumbled. "i'm glad to be going with you, it'll be fun," he smiles. "mhm," you hum, pulling up to the park fifteen minutes later. you turned your blinker on, turning into the parking lot before taking a parking space next to your friend sadies jeep.

"ready?"

"yep," nate replied, climbing out of the car.

you pulled your bag from the back, slinging it over your shoulder and grabbing the white bag before shutting the door. "heyyy," sadie and her girlfriend, emma, greeted getting out of her jeep.

"hey hey," you grinned, the two girls hugging you. "we were waiting for you guys," sadie informed. you nodded your head, starting the small walk towards the group of people.

you had met sadie a few years ago, her girlfriend emma being a family friend of yours. nate had joined the group some months back, the two of you running into each other at dunkin and immediately hit it off.

"hey guys," you greet, everyone saying their hellos. "well let's get the party started then," a girl with dyed red hair stated, pulling a lighter from her bra as she lit up the blunt she had held between her fingers.

a few hours into the gathering, you were happily baked.

you sat between nate and sadie, nates hand wrapped around your waist in order to provide some form of heat for you as you ate the watermelon popsicles someone had brought.

you sucked the tip of it into your mouth, swirling your tongue around the tip. nate coughed next to you, you pulled the tip out with a pop, looking at him as he took a deep breath.

"are you okay?" you question, handing him the popsicle. he grabbed it, nodding his head. "i'm good," he choked out.

"alrighty then," you laugh, reaching up and grabbing his beanie, putting it on your own head. you stood, stretching and cracking your joints as you did so. you held your hand out to nate, "wanna take a walk?"

he grabbed your hand, allowing you to help him stand. you turned to your friends, letting them know where the two of you were going, emma and sadie wiggling their eyebrows.

you grabbed your bag, throwing it over your shoulder as the two of you started walking, nates hand still holding yours.

"i'm glad you came with me today," you admit, leaning against him.

"so am i," he agrees. the two of you walk in silence, enjoying each others company. you reach a large tree, nate letting go of your hand to climb up it.

"actually?" you giggle, watching the boy jump to wrap his arms around a branch. he looked down at you, a small grin on his face. "come on."

you set your bag on the ground, grabbing a hold of the branch and jumping. nate caught your ankle, helping you climb into the tree. "what are we doing in a tree," you question, leaning against him.

he took the beanie off of your head, putting it on his own. "because i like trees," he shrugs. "oh yeah," you giggle, resting your head on his shoulder. you sit in a comfortable silence, the air around the two of you growing tense.

nate leaned his head against yours, turning his head some so his lips were closer to your ear. "i'm really glad we became friends," he admitted, nudging the side of your neck with his nose.

"me too," you sigh, smiling.

he pressed a small kiss to the side of your neck, making your smile grow. "i'm glad to hear," he mumbled, placing another kiss.

you felt a small amount of heat pool in the pit of your stomach. "we should probably get down," you mumbled, pushing the feeling down.

"probably," he mumbled. you both stood, nate dropping from the tree first. he held his arms up, his hands wrapping around your calves, sliding up as you slid down.

your legs wrapped around his torso as you slid, in hopes to stabilize yourself more as you slid.

the two of you fell back onto the ground, nates hand coming to rest on your back as you laid on top of him. you let out a small gasp, nate's breath fanning your face as the two of you laughed.

"are you okay?" you giggle, lifting your head up some to look down at the boy. "never better," he grins, his eyes flickering from yours to your lips.

he lifted his head up some, pressing his lips to yours quickly before he could talk himself out of it.

you kissed back, his hand moving to grip the back of your neck. his thumb rubbed soothing circles, the kiss not being rushed. you pulled back, looking at him. "can we go to your house?"

"please."

you pushed yourself off of him, helping him up. you grabbed your bag, taking his hand and guiding him back to the party. "hey guys," you smile, catching the attention of the group.

"hey," a few greeted. "hey, um, we're going to head out," nate stated.

"ooohh," sadie grinned, a smirk on her face. "die," you point, earning a giggle from her. "i love youuuu," she yells as you walk away. "i love you too," you yell back, laughing.

the walk to your car was quiet, the two of you walking slowly. you stopped at the passenger side door, opening it for him. "such a gentlewoman," he grins, you rolling your eyes.

you slid into the drivers seat, buckling and starting the car. you pulled away from the park, nate resting his hand on your thigh. his thumb running circles on your thigh.

the air in the car was thick with sexual tension, your breathing a little heavy. nate slid his hand further up, his fingertips grazing your core.

"this okay?" he asked, noticing you let out a shakey breath. "yeah," you breathed, gripping the steering wheel harder.

his finger ran down your core, a small groan escaping his throat. "fuck," he muttered.

"what?" you questioned, glancing at him.

"you're soaking."

you let out a small whine, biting your lip. "pull over," he groaned.

"wha- why," you stutter. "because i don't think i can wait until we get to my house," he mumbles. you bite your lip, pulling off into a hidden part of the road.

"turn the car off," he mumbles, pulling his seatbelt off and sliding his seat as far back as it would go. you turn the car off, undoing your seatbelt and shifting to straddle his lap.

you leaned forward, attaching your lips to his. his hands gripped your waist, his hips bucking up to meet yours. "fuck, can't wait to be inside you," he groaned, kissing along your jaw.

you ground down against him, the two of you moaning in unison. nate slid his hand between the two of you, pushing your skirt up as he undid his pants.

he pulled his member out, stroking it a few times before pushing your underwear to the side. he groaned, your slick coating the head. "fuck, so wet," he groaned.

"all for you," you whispered, nipping his earlobe. he pushed you down, the head pushing into your entrance. "fuck," you squeaked shoving your face into his neck.

"oh shit," he moaned, your walls hugging him. he pulled your shirt and bra cup down, his mouth connecting to one of your nipples.

"fuck, nate," you whined, pulling his beanie off and grabbing his hair. his tongue flicked your nipple, his teeth grazing the sensitive nub.

he thrust his hips up, a cry escaping your mouth. "i'm sorry," he muttered, not stopping the shallow thrusts.

"fuck," you cried, the coil in the pit of your stomach tightening. "m'close," you moan. "already?" he grinned cockily, a moan escaping his own lips as you tightened around him.

you nodded your head, biting your lip and looking away from him. his hand grabbed your chin, pulling your head to face him. "let me hear that pretty voice," he cooed, thrusting up into you.

your hands rested on his shoulders, his thrusts speeding up. "fuck nate," you moaned. "right there," you cry, throwing your head back.

nate grinned, "right there ma?" he teased, his teeth connecting to your exposed neck. he thrusted into the spot, your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

"fuck," you moaned, the coil in your stomach snapping. your orgasm hit, your body shaking in his grasp.

"that's it," he encouraged. he kissed along your jaw, his hips working you through your orgasm.

"wait, shit," you moaned, his thrusts not faltering.

"why," he questioned, a small frown on his face. "cause... i'll cum again," you stutter. "okay, and?" he teased, biting his lip and smirking.

"oh," you moaned, leaning against him. he grabbed your ass, bouncing you in his lap. you leaned forward, connecting your lips to his.

he squeezed your ass, your walls clenching around him. "gonna make me cum," he breathed, his hips speeding up. you bounced with him, your breasts in his face. he kissed the tops of them, his lips moving across the skin.

"nate, oh my god," you moaned, throwing your head back. "so pretty," he breathed, his lips sucking a hickey into the skin above your nipple. "nate," you warned, your second orgasm approaching.

"cum for me," he ordered, his fingers digging into your waist.

you clenched around him, your second orgasm hitting. his hips stuttered, the coil in his stomach snapping as he shot his seed into you. the two of you panted, trying to catch your breaths.

he pressed his lips to yours, his hand roughly tangling in your hair. "so pretty," he murmured, pulling away and kissing along your neck. "such a pretty girl," he breathed, kissing your jaw.

"oh god," you breathed, your heart rate speeding up. nate smiled against your neck, pulling away and pressing his lips to yours. "so pretty," he breathed.

you bit your lip, sliding off his lap and adjusting your bra and skirt. nate tucked himself back in his pants, a blush on his cheeks. "wanna go to your place," you questioned, a shy smile on your face.

"absolutely," he grins. you start the car, buckling and backing out.

it's cold outside and flurries of snow, kicked up by the wind, tickle your cheeks. you swipe at your face, your fingers wetting at the touch of melted snowflakes; there’s a chill settling into your bones and you bring your hands to your mouth, blowing gently to give yourself some semblance of warmth, eyes flitting across the expanse of the street, watching tiny ice crystals settle on roofs and fire escapes. the sound of a bell jingling catches your attention, and you peel your eyes away from the snow swirling around the air. your gaze now directed towards your sweet boyfriend.

"hi" you breathe out, a puff of white dissipating into the atmosphere as a grin spreads across your frostbitten face.

jason. your jason.

walking towards you with a plastic bag, tied in a knot to keep from bursting, because you were craving diner food in the middle of the night.

"you should've come inside with me," he says, meeting you at the lamppost. "it's much warmer in there." tufts of black hair stick out of his red beanie—his signature color, the only indicator of his secret life that only you and a handful of other people know about—and you’re hard pressed not to kiss him right then and there.

"i know." you say, turning your head up at the night sky, sighing as you watch the moon through dots of white. "but we don't get nights like this very often."

"nights like what?" he asks, as the two of you stand on the dark street only illuminated by the moon and the singular lightbulb of the lamppost.

"peaceful nights, ones without crime." you respond, and he lets out a low chuckle before wrapping an arm around your waist and tugging you into his side, giving you a chaste kiss on the head.

"there's definitely crime going on."

(i suffered so much with the banner, i need to stop looking at it now)

Even you found this situation absurd.

How could something so beautiful cause you to have tissues and wet towels lying around your heating body? It’s bittersweet to know that the things that made you enwrap in the layer of heated and weighted blankets are the same ones every year that fall nicely from the hues of orange and red sky. Maybe it’s the headache or the jealousy as you hear the excited shrills of the children outside the window having fun and throwing the cold ball of death to each other’s faces. It’s probably also the fact that you’re at the time of your month, the cramps around the underside of your stomach in addition to the scratchy itch on your throat that makes swallowing hard. 

In the end, this year’s Christmas has been wasted and you could only cry under the sheets alone, convincing your parents not to enter as you knew they had to return to work as soon as the holidays ended. You truly regretted your past naive and idiotic self for making a snow angel without proper winter battle clothes. The effect took a massive toll on your body, especially with the amount of hours you have been working and the stress of it all. The way you spent Christmas was lonely as you looked down to the ground floor where your family gathered, a warm blanket slouched on your messy, unwashed hair. The distance between your pout and their smiles wasn’t too far but because of your dying voice and their charged voice, even your mother could barely hear your Christmas greetings.

But, there was someone in your life who still barged into your highly contaminated room with his raccoon loverboy beanie and matching handmade raccoon scarf that you gifted for him this Christmas. Even with your refutes and arguments, he just shrugs, refusing to let you spend the holiday season time alone. 

Every year has always been the same at this time of the year. From when the clock strikes midnight when the jingle bells ring from the city hall up to your room, up until around noon, you would spend it with your family. From noon, when you and your best friend would be amazed at how the snowman still kept its shape up until around dinner time, you would be all over the neighbourhood with him. Then cues the opening of gifts underneath the green tree with ornaments from your grandparents’ age, the smile plasters on everyone’s faces as choruses of ‘thank you’s would be said. Three hours before Christmas day passes, you would retreat to your room, only to have a visitor open your door, the pile of snow between the strands of his hair making the wood of your floor a tripping hazard.

Every year has always been the same for you both and Kim Sunwoo is determined to make sure that it would still be that way. The boy has always made every single Christmas memorable from the day you both were in diapers to now. He made sure that Christmas this year isn’t wasted and he proves that solidly.

Now, another day of fighting begins as you pray for your fever to die down in time for the approaching new year. Contrary to your wishes, your whole body feels like it’s been shut down, feeling too effortful to even raise a finger despite it lying on your bed for the last twenty hours.

“Sunwoo…” The tears well up in your eyes, wishing that you could at least pick up the phone to hear his stories about the day. 

“I got you!” 

The door clicks open to reveal his toothy, mischievous smile. In one hand, a filled fabric bag is held as the other fist punches the sky eagerly. If you could, you would’ve chucked all the layers of fabric to the ground for all you care, clinging onto the boy like a koala. He understands the thoughts roaming in your head as soon as he sees the way the ceiling light highlights the sweat on your forehead and the moisture around the bottom of your eyes. 

The once-upturned corners of his mouth dipped and so did his shoulders. With his free hand, the door closed quietly. He slowly approaches you, kneeling on the floor beside your bed. Sunwoo takes his mittens off, tilting his head and his furrowed eyebrows match his solemn smile. 

“The new year is literally in three days and I’m still here all wrapped up like a mummy.” He unfolded one of the new towels on your bedside table, dapping the sweat away from your flushed face. “I hate this…”

Sunwoo couldn’t hide his true feelings either, missing having you healthy by his side for more than a whole week now. The night walks were now leaning more toward miserable than lonely. He misses the way you would wrap your nearest arm with his, the other hand loosely anchoring on as well as you both comment on whatever comes into your mind. It’s during those times that you would be so preoccupied with your words that the world around him becomes silent, looking down at the slope of your nose and the shape of your moving lips dearly. 

If you look up towards him, you can see the way that Sunwoo’s eyes relax and the corners of his lips lift just slightly, looking at you with utmost adore and affection. His cheeks would be red, not because of the chilly wind, but because his heart is telling him to just hold you close, confess and kiss you deeply into the night. 

It’s no exaggeration to say that the fluttering feeling in his heart, gave his body more warmth than the mittens, beanie, scarf and winter outfit.

“It’ll pass soon, don’t worry,” Sunwoo reassures you, straightening his legs and heading to your bathroom. There, he shrieks and the laugh from the joined room, where you lay in bed with a new cold wet towel on your burning forehead tells him that you did it on purpose. “I thought that was real!” His head peaks out slightly from the bathroom door with the toy cockroach in his hand, throwing it on the duvet where it conveniently plops upside down.

“I need some laughs, okay?” It only earned an eye roll from Sunwoo, who closed the bathroom door.

Your eyes widen at the familiar actions, the sprinkling of water confirming your thoughts.

“Sunwoo!” You scold him. “You can’t stay over! I’m literally sick!”

“I’ll be fine!”

These are the only words that he says, ignoring the rest of your complaints and nagging; he knows though, that it’s just because you care for his health and wellbeing.

Your lips could only form a big mountain when Sunwoo finally does exit your now sauna-like bathroom. He had his favourite raccoon onesie on, his used clothes in one hand and was supported with his chest to avoid it from toppling over his hold. A toothbrush is leisurely in his mouth, the frothing around the inside of his lips tells you that he has no second thoughts about staying over. 

“You can’t, Woo.” An exasperated sigh comes out as soon as he slips into the room. “Why don’t you ever listen to what I say?”

The toothbrush stops its rustling sound against his healthy, white teeth and you can tell from the way his hands land on the side of his waist that he has a complaint back about you.

“As if you’ll ever listen to me.” And the rustling continues with a tune of a song.

“Touche.”

There is one thing that changed from your usual sleepovers but again, you’re not complaining as it is the best choice. Sunwoo takes out the spare roll-up mattress after excitedly knocking on your parent’s room for help. You could hear how your parents are beyond surprised by the visit but you could only smile when you hear the way they scold Sunwoo for wanting to stay beside you with your condition.

For some odd reason, he was still able to walk back into your room, showing off the white fabric on his shoulder that he held, shoulder way too high for your liking as his pride replaces the gloomy atmosphere in the room.

“Make some sort of distance between you and my bed please.”

Your tone is no longer playful, almost tired and most definitely worried. Sunwoo nods, his lips pulling into a line. At this moment, when Sunwoo sets up his bed for the night away from you, you don’t realise the clench in your heart, your hand swishing over the space beside you where he would usually cuddle with you to sleep.

“This alright?” Pulling off his sparkly doe eyes, shooting you a smile that you couldn’t possibly refute. “Alright! Goodnight!” He cheers when you nod defeatedly.

With a flick of the switch, the only thing that allows you to see your covered feet is the moonlight from outside. Sunwoo is in a better position because the lower level means that your bed blocks the shine enough for him to slumber back to sleep.

For some reason, you couldn’t. Your body is still, your eyelids shut and your calm breathing would’ve fooled anyone that you were actually in dreamland. In reality, all you could hear was Sunwoo’s more soothing snores, the sudden feeling that nothing was covering you and the uncomfortable feeling of staying awake.

Your eyelids shoot open once more, staring at the lines and scratches that managed to make it there. Maybe it was a chaotic cat? Or a really strong spiky fly? Or maybe, a ghost? Continuing a questionable amount of ideas. You didn’t even realise when your body turned to the side where Sunwoo was. Without thinking much, your arm reaches for the expensive headpiece straight to the once-slumbering boy.

Disturbed between reality and dreams, his body immediately straightens up, turning his head at you. “Hey!”

“Sorry.” You did feel guilty, not knowing that your impulse actions would jolt him so much; but your laugh tells him that once again, you did plan it with some sort of naughty reason.

Like the antagonist of a scary movie, Sunwoo’s head dips down slightly, his bangs covering his eyes and his cheek rising with menacing thoughts in his head. Suddenly, he jumps over to the mattress, wiggling his fingers all over your body.

“S-Stop! Sunwoo!” He didn’t bother doing so, his heart delighted at the sound of your laughter after so long. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry, you pathetic raccoon!”

“Oh, you’re really asking for it!”

It’s a miracle that none of your parents didn’t woke up after almost five minutes of different volumes of laughter. After a week or so of copping up in your room, unable to properly see your best friend, he makes his mark on the winter holiday, knowing that every time you fall sick with a fever, you’ll recall this fun memory.

“Can’t sleep?” 

He retreats to the edge of the bed, his legs dangling. Yet, he has his full focus on the way your smile gradually falls into a frown. His hands move under the blanket, finding yours. As soon as he feels you, his fingers intertwine with yours. Automatically, your thumb caresses Sunwoo’s, calming enough for him to sleep. Eyelids heavy but not completely down yet, your brown orbs observe the way Sunwoo kneels beside you.

“Sunwoo…”

“Hm?” 

“Thank you for staying.” 

His eyes widen slightly but he then lets out a small chuckle. “Just doing your lovely parents a favour.” 

“No.” He gulps at your seriousness, watching the way that even though your back is facing the natural light source, the growing waters underneath your eyelids make his other hand reach out for you, the movement shaking your tears down. “I meant in life. Thank you for staying with me another year.”

Your eyelashes fluttered, the darkness quietly enveloping you. Sunwoo just lets out a soft sigh, your words making his heart beat too rapidly for him to sleep tonight. 

“I love you.” 

There…

He rehearsed the confession in the mirror many times, different scenarios each time, a different object in his hand every time as he imagined the perfect gift that he would give if he was ever given a chance to pour his feelings into you. A part of him wishes you heard it, hoping that you didn’t keep this friendship going. 

The mattress that he worked hard to retrieve from your parents is left untouched for the rest of the night. Forget about his well-being for a second, prioritising the love in his heart. Forget about being sick if it meant being able to hold you in his arms just like all those times. Forget about your scoldings that he would only stick his tongue out nonchalantly to. Sunwoo climbs on the opposite side, his usual spot in your bed. He carefully slips his body inside, the air a thousand times warmer, almost making him wince at the sudden temperature rise that he didn’t expect.

For one last time in the night, he wipes your forehead clean, pressing a lingering kiss on the area. Your body recognises the dip of the bed, turning to the other side and hiding your eyes from the glare of the night into Sunwoo’s beating chest. Perplexed but still somewhat composed, he lets you get comfortable first, both of your hands reaching up to the fabric of his collar, tugging it slightly as a satisfied smile makes its way onto your relaxed face. 

“I love you.” 

He says once more.

“I love you so much, bubs.” 

A little bit louder.

“I love you so much but,” He rests his head on the pillow, pulling you further into his embrace with his hand curling over the shape of your head. “I don’t think I can stay beside you next year.”

Unrequited love his whole life. 

The trade-off between friendship and love is too much for him to fully digest. 

But as the years pass, Sunwoo knows that there is nothing much he can do but drown in his uncertainties. At the same time, he’s no longer sure how much longer he could fake another smile towards you whenever you were taken out for dates. He’s no longer sure how to keep his heartbeat at bay whenever you accidentally whip your hair across his face whenever he scared you, and the way your first instinct is to squish his cheeks, frown and check up for any hurt on his beautiful face. He’s no longer sure if he could hide the urge to pull you into his chest whenever your fingers would lace together even during the hot summer days.

So Sunwoo made it clear to himself that tonight would be the last time he would bask in your presence. Another unsure kiss is given to your forehead and against the screamings inside his head, he follows his heart to press one on each of your closed lids, whispering loving words that he desperately wishes you would hear. 

“I’m thankful for you too.”

True to his words, Sunwoo is gone by the early morning, the white blob on the floor is gone and so are the used towels that you have used throughout the previous day. Judging from the coolness of the sheets beside you, he must’ve left some time ago and it left a bitter feeling in your whole being when he left no note that would usually snap the drowsiness in you to an immediate deadpan reaction, or contrary a dog video that would make up want to curl up and stay in bed for longer.

Three distinct knocks on the door tell you that your mum has breakfast ready but you can’t respond as enthusiastically as you usually would. 

“You’re looking better today, actually.” The plastic tray rests on the corner of your table. The now-occupied space reminds you of last night when Sunwoo used the same space for his worn-out backpack. Satisfied with the way your forehead is no longer burning and almost back to normal temperature, the woman nods and lets out a sigh of relief. “Must be the Sunwoo effect.”

It did make you forget your confusion for a second, the corners of your slumped lips pulling to a straight line. When you were once again left all alone in the room, the loneliness was unlike ever before. The charging cable is ripped away from your device, opening the messaging app to text Sunwoo a very formal, very awkward morning greeting. Your eyes bore into the bottom left of the screen, seeing if the familiar typing icon would pop out but after around four minutes of empty wishes, the way you shoved your phone under the pillow shows how crestfallen you are with his isolating behaviour. It continued for the rest of the day, your phone never buzzing because of him even though his social media activity shows him posting a new memory to share over the internet.

New Year is around a few hours and to you, it looks like Sunwoo has no plans to change his indifference towards you. Even when Eric says he would make sure that Sunwoo sends a message to you, the only thing that changed in your messaging status with him is the ‘delivered’ to ‘seen’ sign.

“The audacity of this little piece of sh—” 

Your fingers tapped rapidly first, and the floating tiles of your keyboard pour your conflicted emotions with a dash of empty threats to him. It’s infuriating that the only thing he did was still, left you on ‘seen’ but this time, in real-time. 

“Okay, fine!”

Why are you so defeated? Frustrated? Annoyed? Irritated? Worried? Sour? Confused? Are you really going to spend the rest of the year without him? Start the new one without him? Is he really breaking the streak of watching the fireworks together and being each other’s first ‘Happy New Year!’s with a bunch of jumping and squealing? 

Is he mad because you’re the reason why you can’t watch the flowers in the sky with him this year? But Sunwoo knows that you’ve been sick! But if he is, is he so mad to the point that he's going to break the streak of being each other’s first ‘Happy New Year!’s next year because of it? But between you both, you’ve always beaten him by a split second!

“Fine! Be that way then!” If the framed picture of you both had noise sensitivity, you’re sure that it would’ve cowered away and fallen straight to the bin next to it. “Ignore me then! Go have fun with the rest of your friends! Why’d you come here and act like you cared when you were just going to avoid me like this?!”

As if the whole universe isn’t seemingly against you already, the bunny doll that Sunwoo won for you smiled sweetly from the corner of your room. The rubber material of your slippers makes high-pitched slaps and your arms snatch the poor plush by its neck, shaking it back and forth as you start to let out all the cursing in all the languages that you know to the boy in your head.

“You got it!”

You couldn’t hide the excitement on your face as soon as the claw hovers in the hole of the machine, a few seconds away from delivering the prize to your hands. Sunwoo rejoices and is proud after winning against the rigged game with only the first try. 

You try to wait patiently for Sunwoo to give it to you, but the way that your upper body bounces, and the way your slightly wavy hair goes along with the motions of your body, only makes it harder for Sunwoo to properly hand you over the gift. You weren’t doing anything special but he was so in love with you that he couldn’t help but let out a shaky breath at the way your eyes sparkle to him—it didn’t help his case that you were cutely drowning in his jacket. 

“D-Do you love it that much?”

Would it be weird if he snapped a photo of you right now? When your cheeks are smushed against the bunny’s fluffy ones? Would it be weird if he wanted to set it as his wallpaper and just stare at it all day long?

“It’s so cute!” 

You indirectly answered, putting your full attention and affection to the animal in your hands. The way you bopped your nose with its own only fuels his adoration for you and because you’re so immersed in your birthday gift, Sunwoo did manage to get the picture that he desires.

Kim Sunwoo also had it as his lock screen, hiding it within a collage of other memories—it’s the reason why he’s been so protective over his phone for the last few months.

Having had enough of giving the inanimate animal a headache, you threw it onto the floor with a huff, blowing the loose strand of hair away from your vision. All of a sudden, the tears finally well up in your eyes and you let out silent croaked sobs. The hunched-over plushie is the catalyst for your head to replay the memories in your head. With your back against your bed, knees folded to your chest and the bunny sitting on top, the outside world blurs out of existence for a while.

Everything is just Kim Sunwoo.

From the way he smiles.

To the way he drools in his sleep.

From the way he would literally hide you from the outside world, arms enveloping and muffling your cries.

To the way he welcomes the series of punches on his chest because life is too much for you sometimes.

From the way he has your mum on speed dial in case he can’t reach you.

To the way that he would hop into the car to pick you up from your solo late-night, early-morning beach walks still in his pyjamas.

From the way he knew how to comfort you depending on the situation.

To the way he wouldn’t mind submitting his assignment late if it meant that you’ll be able to sleep peacefully.

Your face flares up, recalling the light pressure of his lips on your eyelids the other night and with it, the meaning behind your tight hold on the bunny becomes something entirely different. That’s all it takes for you to rush out the front door, your mum following your rushed actions with her eyes.

“Well,” she shrugs, eyes back to the television of her favourite Christmas movie, “that happened.”

So maybe you should’ve changed to snowing boots or something more appropriate than your slippers but in your body’s adrenaline to keep your body intact for another five minutes when you would reach Sunwoo’s house.

“You’re so—ugh!” 

The crystals falling from the sky are too uncomfortable and you know that you will be bedridden for longer after this but that’s not going to be your fault. Someone else will take the blame for this and you’ll make it clear for him.

It’s only when you reach the front door, hands on your bent knees, throat dry, nose red, cheeks most probably iced due to your tears and the weather that the words all evaporate from your head. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore and with the curtain from the living room open just enough for you to see Sunwoo snuggling in the couch with his cup of hot chocolate, the feelings that you have been hiding from him amplified greatly.

You’re so mad at him but you still think he looks cute with the blanket over his head, covering his shoulders and eyes focused so much to the point the colours of the graphics were being reflected on his eyes. Changing the direction from kicking down the front door, you decided to instead gather a lump of ice into your palm, striking it against the window where his face was. 

His body jolts back but it didn’t take long for his mind to register the white remnants crumbling on the glass, window frame and sill. It takes Sunwoo less than a second to take in your shivering figure on the other side of the window and he knows he’s going to get an earful from his mum when she sees the sweet and sticky drink on her carpet.

The coat hanger rattles and almost breaks an arm with how violently Sunwoo takes two of his warmest jackets, swiftly getting ready to meet the cold and starting blizzard outside. He automatically winced when nature slammed the door open, almost stubbing his toe—but maybe that’s his karma for leaving you on read for more than a whole day without a proper explanation.

Sunwoo took his focus away from the throbbing pain, skipping down the stairs, using the spiky handrail for support as he pushed his body up whenever he went down a step lower, relaxing when his feet landed on the ground safely. It’s only been a few minutes since he stepped out of his blanket but now everything is throbbing—his heart as well for a different reason.

Seeing you still facing the window, your hair flying all over the place, your chin basically on your chest, Sunwoo realises that he hurt you badly. Maybe he should’ve just been honest. If so, then at the very least, you wouldn’t chase him out like this when it looks like you just started to feel better. 

“Hey…” his feet make cautious little shuffles, scrunching the remaining mixes of nature and ice, kind of scared for his life that you would start to (rightfully) punch him. Thankfully, he got close enough to drape his jacket onto your shoulder, zipping up the front without asking you to put your arms. If it wasn’t for the fact that he ignored you, he would be teasing and asking you about what you are mulling over. “Let’s go inside, hm?”

Sunwoo sighs at your stubbornness when you shoved his arm away, feet planted on the ground.

“Go away.” 

His heart clenches at the way you probably meant that. It included a hint of hurt, broken the unanswered questions that were swarming your head.

“I’m sorry,” Sunwoo said so softly that you could’ve missed it if it wasn’t the way you were already actively focusing on him. “So please, let’s just get you inside. It’s my fault, I’m sorry.”

His palm goes over where his heart is and the other hand gives you a reassuring press. Sunwoo knew by the way you refused to look at him despite him bending over to meet your eyes, that this was going to be tough for you to listen to him.

But Kim Sunwoo is patient.

He’s always been patient and understanding when it comes to you. When his hands reach over to envelop yours, you don’t push away how he wraps his own between yours. Your heartbeat picks up its pace when he leads your joined hands into the pocket of his jacket, his thumb gliding over your skin. The act also sends your body closer to his, finally closing the gap between your bodies, sharing body warmth corresponding to the red hues on your cheeks.

Your lips now hover over his outwear and your nose takes his scent in, enjoying breathing in the familiarity after almost two days of no contact. Sunwoo bites his lips, nervous about having you in front of him and the way you tighten your hold on his hands tells him that you have a lot to say. 

“You don’t want to spend the first week of the new year bedridden, bubs.” Wordlessly and timidly, Sunwoo just scans over your facial features, his eyes roaming about while your eyes are stuck on his zipper which is halfway done.

“Don’t call me that…” Because it clicks open the surge of feelings that you have been trying to hide from him for the longest time. “Don’t…”

You were still half awake when he said his words.

Unknowingly to Sunwoo, you heard every single word that you have always wanted to say to him. That night, when his hand wrapped securely around your waist, you had the best sleep in your life, taking a mental note to talk about the topic later on.

Only to realise that you are both idiots with your feelings.

“I’m sor—”

“Stop apologising!” 

And it sends Sunwoo into a puddle of shock and confusion when your eyes send out a waterfall. He separates his hands from yours and they fly quickly to hold your cheeks. Stutters of more apologies string out and his thumbs weren’t fast enough to keep your face dry. 

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry too!”

“Hey, what are you sorry about? I’m the one who left you on read!”

“I’m sorry that I’ve never told you how much I appreciate you,” you hiccup before continuing, seeing a glimpse of Sunwoo’s gaping mouth, “I’m sorry that you’ve always been the one taking care of me and not the other way around,” and you see the way he shakes his head with furrowed eyebrows, “I’m sorry that I ever make you think that I don’t care about you!” 

“Hey, no. Don’t say that, I know you care abo—”

“I love you, Kim Sunwoo!” 

To him, even though Christmas has passed, he’s convinced that it’s a miracle for him. The night when he left to stay in your house, he innocently wished upon the shooting star, closing his eyes and hoping for your health and happiness—but he couldn’t help but also wish that you would love him back even though that’s out of his control.

But what can he do when he’s only loved one person and one person throughout his whole life?

“I’m sorry if I ever made you think that I like someone else because I can tell you now that all those dates I went to only made me sure that I’m so in love with you and you make me feel like I can just be myself when I’m around you and I also feel jittery when I’m around you and—”

This is not the type of confession that he has rehearsed for.

He guides your face into his chest, still sobbing and crying. As always, your hands weakly hit him, your lips still voicing out muffled confessions to him. Sunwoo’s arms wrap around your shoulders, the other on top of it. His head dips, his lips breathing out air near your ear, resting his forehead on his arm for stability. He wants to say something, anything to make sure that his avoidance doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love you back but all he wants to do is to just hold you closer to make it clear that no one could take you out on another date.

Only he can take you out on dates now.

You sniffle, catching your breath after letting your feelings out. The hold around you makes you melt, smiling before turning to where Sunwoo is. At your longing stare, his head shoots back up in surprise, tripping over his own words at how you look at him with beady, watery eyes in adoration. Shy Sunwoo is going to be a sight that you’ll get used to quickly, noting how adorable he is with how his eyes refuse to meet yours and his lips moving without any sound actually coming through.

“I love you.” 

You repeated quieter just for him so that he was the only one who could hear the words.

“I love you so much.”

You stood on your toes, planting a kiss on his chin.

“I love you so much but,” Sunwoo gulps with how you squinted your eyes, “if you leave my side next year, I won’t hesitate to throw a snowball to your face.”

“Oh God, please don’t do that.” Mortified and shaking his head, “I’m sorry, you win. I’ll do anything, just please have mercy on me.”

“Anything?”

Sunwoo gives a series of firm, convincing nods.

“Kiss me.”

The words took a while to register in his mind and he couldn’t help the breath hitching when he realised your request. Sunwoo almost stumbled backwards, your hands tug the fabric of his pockets, pulling him back to you and reality. It caused your foreheads to lightly bump and the impact made you wince at his stupidity. 

“I-I’m sorry! I-I’m—”

“Kim Sunwoo! There’s going to be a mark there! That hur—”

A pair of comforting hands hold your jawline, tilting your face to accommodate the height difference between the two once-best friends. When Sunwoo gets a better grip on himself, he quickly dives in when your lips part, swallowing your complaints and making his dreams come true. 

Double a decade—no, more than that. 

That’s how much he’s waited for this moment with you.

When his lips would slot against yours, hugging your top ones with his before pulling away to give the same amount of affection to your bottom ones. Your noses bump into each other slightly, making the moment seem real and fun, smiling and giggling when you both part for air. Shy and kind of embarrassed with how messy and uncoordinated it is but you both know you wouldn’t want to share each other’s firsts with anyone else. 

At this moment, it’s you and him in this world.

That’s how you ended the year. Clenched fist still inside his pockets, though that didn’t stop you from folding the fabric back so that you could have your arms wrapped around his middle to pull him closer. The sky soon blooms shortly after, and the happy firing noises illuminate the night sky, beating the dull light and colour of the moon that everyone sees every day. Because of the dynamic colours, Sunwoo is able to see the shades of the celebration mirrored on your skin, finding you more beautiful than ever before. 

Though beautiful, the fireworks did make Sunwoo roll his eyes when he seemingly needed to repeat variations of “Be my girlfriend!” even though you were less than ten centimetres away from his face. He knows after your third “What? I can’t hear you” that you were playing with him, giving you pecks of his lips across your face playfully, enjoying how your laughs neutralised the flowers in the sky. 

You ended the year with the start of a kiss with your best friend.

And start the new year with a new title for your ex-best friend.

With Kim Sunwoo, of course.

␥ misc. masterlist AO3

a few weeks ago, you were standing by your locker when choso approached you and asked you to be his date for the upcoming prom night. you were over the moon with excitement as you had always harbored a secret crush on him and even drawn him during art club sessions, which your friends had playfully teased you about. you couldn't believe he had finally asked you out, and you agreed without hesitation.

as the days turned into weeks, the anticipation for prom night only grew stronger. finally, the night of prom had arrived, and you found yourself sitting near the entrance of the hall, your nerves getting the best of you. you took a sip from your cold can of coke, hoping it would calm your nerves and soothe your anxious mind. you had been eagerly awaiting choso's arrival; the thought of seeing him tonight made your heart flutter with excitement.

you couldn't help but wonder what he would be wearing, how he would style his hair, and whether he would bring you a corsage. the minutes ticked by slowly, and you tried to distract yourself by people-watching and admiring the decorations around you, but your mind kept wandering back to choso.

choso was a man who preferred to keep to himself, which made him appear intimidating and brooding to those around him. his tall, imposing figure had an aura that made everyone in the room go silent as they heard the sound of his black boots slamming against the polished tile flooring of the school and the jingling of the chain that hung from the side of his jeans.

his black leather jacket, adorned with silver studs, only added to his tough exterior. his dark hair was tied back with strands framing his face. despite his tough appearance, choso had a soft spot for you that you weren't aware of, which made you wonder what had made him ask you to prom.

finally, you saw him walking towards you, looking as handsome and charming as ever. your heart skipped a beat as he approached you, the faint scent of cologne entering your nostrils. he was no longer that brooding emo boy you once knew. no baggy jeans or a black beanie cap. instead, he was wearing a suit that fit him to perfection. a black suit, which paired with his dark hair and the metal that adorned his ears.

choso looked at you with a gentle smile on his face, but there was a hint of seriousness and reservation in his eyes. he opened his mouth to speak and said, "hey," in a calm and measured tone, as if he had something important to say.

you stood there, frozen in shock, as choso appeared in front of you. he looked like a completely different person than the last time you saw him. your heart raced as you scanned his face, taking in every detail. the color rose in your cheeks, and you felt your pulse quicken just as much as it did when he asked you to go to prom with him.

despite the surprise, you couldn't help but smile as you took in the sight of him. the wind picked up, causing your black dress to flutter around you as the occasional breeze from the opening and closing doors of the building seeped through. "hey.." you finally said back.

"you look…incredible," choso would say, his gaze flickering to your dress. it fit your figure nicely, hugging the curves of your chest and hips. his eyes roamed back to your face, his eyes now softening. it was quite rare to see him look like this. he might've really liked you if he went out of his way to go out of his comfort zone to talk to you.

you found yourself at a loss for words and stumbled over your reply, feeling embarrassed for not being able to come up with a more eloquent response. finally, you managed to blurt out a short, awkward reply: "thank you…uh," followed by a rushed and somewhat inadequate "you too."

choso offered his hand to you, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he asked, "shall we go in?" despite being a naturally shy person, he was making an effort to be more confident around you, and you couldn't help but appreciate his efforts.

as you took his hand, the two of you made your way into the dance hall. the anticipation for the upcoming prom event was palpable, with students from your grade filling the space. some were chattering excitedly, while others were busy taking pictures on their phones to capture the moment.

the hall was decorated with colorful streamers and balloons, and in the center of the room was a large dance floor. the dj was setting up his equipment, ready to play some music for the upcoming dance.

you and choso made your way further into the room, you walked past clusters of people dressed up in fancy outfits, all in line with the expected casino theme of the night. a few of them caught your eye - they were familiar faces from your class, and you exchanged quick smiles and nods of recognition as they sipped on their drinks.

you noticed that several card games were going on, with groups of people huddled around tables and concentrating on their hands. in addition to the ice water, there were also plenty of non-alcoholic options being sold, including refreshing lemonade and other drinks.

as you walked around the venue, the laughter and chatter of your friends and classmates enveloped you. you noticed how they all seemed to be with their prom dates, twirling and dancing with carefree joy. a sense of camaraderie washed over you as you exchanged quick smiles of acknowledgment with them. but amidst the happy chaos, you couldn't help but notice the envious looks thrown your way by other girls.

they sized you up, clearly jealous that you had your arm hooked around choso's. the most sought-after guy in school, even though he always seemed like a loner. his dark hair was tousled just right, and his eyes glinted mischievously as he whispered something in your ear, making you laugh. you couldn't contain the feeling of pride and happiness that swelled within you at being the one on his arm tonight.

choso led you towards the dance floor, weaving his way through the crowd of people. as the music began to play, he pulled you closer, wrapping his arms around your waist. you were surprised by this sudden display of affection, as choso had never been the type to touch anyone besides when he was holding your hand. his embrace felt safe and comforting, and you couldn't help but lean into him, feeling the rhythm of the music flow through your body.

you were caught off guard by the sudden touch of choso's hand on your arm. you instinctively turned your head towards him, only to quickly glance down at the placement of his arms and then your feet, which were positioned close enough that a wrong step could have resulted in either of you getting stepped on.

while you looked around the place, the feeling of disbelief washed over you. it all seemed too surreal, and you couldn't help but wonder if this was all just some sort of dream. the slow, romantic-like music that started playing in the background only added to your confusion and mixed emotions.

despite the enchanting ambiance, you couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. it all seemed too convenient, and you couldn't help but be wary of what might come next.

choso stood still for a moment, trying to gather his confidence, before he began to sway his body to the music. he made sure to keep steady on his feet, not wanting to trip or step on your toes. his hands were still wrapped around you, but he was being more careful now when shuffling his feet.

choso kept his eyes on the ground, avoiding any eye contact with the other students who were still staring at the two of you. he didn't want to come off as rude or arrogant, but he also didn't want to feel uncomfortable.

as you both swayed slowly to the music, choso began to hum the song softly. he had a very nice voice if you'd never noticed during the few times he'd spoken. you could feel his voice vibrating against your back, and it was a comforting feeling. his voice was deep and smooth - it reminded you of midnight rain. he then spoke up in a low, quiet, and reserved voice.

choso's demeanor suddenly shifted, his previously confident tone replaced with uncertainty. the faint blush that had earlier receded from his cheeks now reappeared, slowly creeping back up. his question hung in the air, hesitant and tentative, as if he was afraid of the answer. "so… do you know how to dance?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

once he asked you whether you wanted to dance, you felt a sudden jolt of discomfort pass through your body, causing you to flinch involuntarily. you hesitated for a moment before responding, "oh…no-no…i don't dance…i never did a slow dance or anything like that. i wasn't really planning on dancing tonight anyway."

your voice wavered slightly as you spoke, betraying your nervousness and uncertainty about the situation. despite your reservations, you tried to keep a polite and friendly demeanor, hoping to avoid any awkwardness or tension between you and your companion.

"that's alright," choso spoke up, still in a low yet calm tone. he'd try to smile, and it didn't look forced - as if this was just normal for him. this was just an act, but one he was doing well at, you could tell. "i guess i'll have to teach you."

choso chuckled slightly, hoping he wasn't being too awkward to you with this. he looked down at you, his eyes flitting for a second before looking away again. he stepped away slowly, his hands falling from your waist and onto his pockets. he took a few steps back before stopping.

as you tried to keep up with choso's steps, you couldn't help but feel nervous. you were afraid that you might lose your footing and ruin your rhythm entirely. you could feel your legs wobbling a bit and your ankle ready to twist. however, choso noticed your struggle and was quick to react. he reached out and grabbed your hand to ensure that you didn't fall, and you felt a sense of relief wash over you.

you could see that choso's face was starting to redden a bit again as he continued the slow waltz with you. he appeared to have been in several school dances before, so he knew how to lead a partner. "you're not used to wearing heels, are you?" he spoke up, once again catching on to your struggle. he had a keen eye and always observed things around him.

despite your struggles, choso kept leading you around the dance floor, still going a bit slowly and patiently for you. his grip on your hand was firm but gentle, and you felt safe in his company. you couldn't help but feel a little grateful that he was there to guide you through the dance.

"no," you replied softly, "i'd much rather have on a pair of converse than these heels."

"well, you look beautiful in them regardless," choso responded, his cheeks flushing a bit at his own words. this was probably the first time he had ever complimented a girl's appearance when he wasn't forced to by the drama teacher when he played romeo in his junior year of high school. "i'd rather have you be comfortable though," he added shortly after.

"oh…well, thank you - you know, for being considerate and the compliment," you said softly, a gentle smile gracing your lips. you glanced down at your feet, feeling a mix of gratitude and nervousness, hoping you were handling the situation well.

choso flashed a warm smile before glancing down at your feet, making sure you were steady and not about to slip. his grip on your hand remained firm as he remarked, "you're doing remarkably well for your first time."

"oh… i didn't think i was," you chuckled awkwardly. "i always wanted to do this… seeing all the pretty princesses in the movies dancing with their prince…" you trailed off, a wistful look in your eyes as you gazed into the distance, lost in a moment of longing and nostalgia.

"i never would have imagined you were the kind of girl to envision yourself as a princess in fairytales," choso chuckled, genuinely surprised by your revelation. the faint blush on your cheeks in response to his comment made him smile softly. "but you know, you would actually make a stunning princess," he continued, maintaining a firm grip on your hand.

"uh…i'm more into the shakespeare kinds of stories when it comes to that stuff," you said. "you know, like hamlet and ophelia, or romeo and juliet."

"those are some pretty good ones," choso spoke after taking a moment to consider. he admitted that he wasn't too familiar with shakespeare's works, but he acknowledged their popularity in the realm of drama. "..so, you like tragic romance stories?" he inquired.

"i guess so," you smiled. "but being a princess is nicer."

"well, you're one now. i can be your prince charming," choso smiled back at you, finding this situation pretty amusing. "though, unlike romeo, i won't die in the end," he would add jokingly. he'd pull you a bit closer to him.

your cheeks flushed a little as you hesitantly replied, "i…uh, yeah, i'd like that," your voice barely above a mumble. "and i can be juliet, happy that romeo didn't die on me."

choso’s face got flushed upon hearing you call him your romeo. he didn't expect you to go along with that. he also couldn't help but smile at the thought of you being happy that he didn't die.

"juliet," he spoke softly, his hands going down to your waist. this was more like a waltz than the slow dance now, but choso didn't care.

"your romeo won't die on you anytime soon," he'd say, as he continued to sway you to the music.

choso gently led you in a slow sway to the rhythm of the music, his hands enveloping yours. he couldn't help but feel slightly awkward being so close to you, but he didn't want to show any signs of discomfort. he was doing his best to control his emotions, but his cheeks were starting to warm up again at the thought of being your romeo.

he couldn't help but think back to all the times he had played romeo with drama girls before. but he never saw them as potential partners, as they only acted together for the plays and nothing more.

as you both continued to dance, choso's blush deepened with each passing moment. he kept his gaze lowered to avoid looking directly at you while his face was flushed red. finally, after a few moments of silence, choso mustered up the courage to speak. "so, since you're my juliet," he began hesitantly, "do i have the privilege of kissing you?"

your heart skipped a beat as you blinked, your own blush still present on your cheeks. "um…yeah," you stammered, barely able to form a coherent sentence. "if you want to."

choso would chuckle, as his blush increased more and more with your immediate and positive response. after a moment of hesitation, he decided to go for it. he brought his hand slowly up, tilting your face up so that he could have your lips within reach. he then leaned forward and gently placed his lips against yours in a soft kiss.

it was a short kiss, but it was sweet. he’d pull away shortly after, still keeping you held close. his face was even redder now - the whole experience felt slightly surreal to him.

choso's words came slowly, hesitant and measured, as his eyes avoided yours. "was i a good romeo?" he finally asked. your breath caught in your throat at the question, and you couldn't help but let out a shaky laugh. "maybe more than just good," you replied, feeling the heat of his hand on your cheek from where he had gently lifted it to meet your gaze.

the intensity of his stare took your breath away, even though you couldn't deny that you welcomed it with open arms. this caused choso’s cheeks to turn even redder than they had been already. a soft smile then spread on his lips as he looked down at the ground once again. he had never felt this way about anyone before. inwardly, he was panicking over this moment and the sudden romance that was blooming before him.

with a deep breath, he began in a voice that was both comforting and jittery. a touch of bashfulness lingered beneath choso’s words as he said, "then i’m proud to say, my juliet, that i will not meet my end in anyone else's hands." he paused, smiling warmly as he leaned in once more to place a tender kiss upon your lips. this time, his lips lingered for a few moments longer, his grip on your hand tightening as the heat from his palm sent shivers down your spine. the tension between you both was palpable as you stood there, lost in the embrace and the promise of forever.

as he spoke, his eyes fell to the ground with a small smile playing on his lips. "i would say i like being romeo," he said, recalling their high school production of romeo and juliet once more.

"you didn't like it in junior year," you chuckled, remembering how everyone had talked about how much he had hated the role. "but you were the best person to ever play romeo out of the entire school."

choso blushed at the praise, grateful yet slightly embarrassed by the memories. he brushed it off, not wanting to dwell on it too much. "and i'd say that you were the best Juliet," he continued teasingly. "i guess i should thank my drama teacher for forcing me to memorize romeo's lines just so i could play the role."

You couldn't help but chuckle at his playfulness and suggested, "why don't you repeat them to me? i can't say i remember any of mine, so i won't be able to reciprocate."

choso couldn't help but grin at the thought. seeing himself as romeo and you as juliet made him feel a little flushed, and he knew it would have a similar effect on you. "oh?" he teased, his smile growing wider. "well then, let romeo serenade juliet with his famous lines."

and so, choso began to repeat some of romeo's famous dialogue from the play. "what’s in a name? that which we call a rose. by any other name would smell as sweet."

you giggled, “i like that one. it’s juliet’s part.”

choso's eyes twinkled with amusement as he listened to your simple yet endearing giggles. "i'll try to keep it brief. don't want to bore you," he said with a calm tone. he found himself enjoying this, being able to have a conversation like this with you. no one else seemed to understand him the way you did.

he continued reciting the lines that romeo had said, his voice smooth and soothing like a lullaby, but also clear and easy to hear. despite feeling flustered, he couldn't help but revel in the romantic atmosphere of the moment. so then, choso began to repeat some of romeo's famous dialogue from the play. "i take thee at thy word. call me but love and i'll be new baptized. henceforth i never will be romeo…”

your giggles were infectious, filling the room with a sense of playful joy as choso repeated the old but romantic lines from the playback to you. you felt slightly embarrassed that you couldn't remember your own lines, but choso took it all in stride and continued on, finding your laughter endearing and charming. in fact, he seemed to enjoy reciting the lines for you just as much as you enjoyed hearing them.

as the scene progressed, choso could sense your growing discomfort with not remembering your lines. so, without missing a beat, he leaned in close after delivering his final line. it caught you off guard, but before you could even process what was happening, his lips were pressed against yours in an impassioned kiss. the moment seemed to stretch on forever as you both lost yourselves in the heat of the moment.

choso didn't pull away when it seemed appropriate to do so; he wanted to savor every second of this electrifying connection with you. finally, when the kiss ended and he pulled back ever so slowly, you both were left breathless and gazing into each other's eyes.

the flush on choso's face only intensified as he took in your beauty and realized how much that single kiss had affected him. he couldn't help but regret not taking things slower, wanting to fully appreciate every moment shared with you. but for now, all he could do was bask in the lingering warmth of that unforgettable kiss.

choso's eyes remained fixed on the floor, his voice soft and measured as he spoke. he had a way of being smooth without trying too hard, an effortless charm that drew people in. even now, as he looked slightly awkward, it only added to his playful appeal. his hand was still wrapped around yours, the warmth of his grip sending tingles up your arm.

"huh?" you blinked, dazed from the lingering kiss that had lasted over a minute. choso seemed to sense your confusion and let out a small chuckle before speaking again. the smirk on his lips disappeared as he seemed to be embarrassed by the intensity of the kiss.

"romeo. romeo was a pretty smooth guy," he said, his hand squeezing yours tighter as if to emphasize his point.

"oh…oh yeah, he was," you mumbled, finally finding your voice.

choso smiled at your delayed response before speaking again. "i hope you don't mind me repeating one final line for you," he said, a mischievous glint in his eye as he recalled one of the most memorable romantic phrases from the play. he wanted this moment to stay with you forever.

"come what may, come death, demise or worse, in spite of fate, i'll love you ‘till my dying breath," choso spoke, keeping his grip on your hand tight even after he finished speaking.

“damn, that’s the part that made me cry,” emotions swirled within you as you chuckled bashfully, a wave of sadness and longing washing over you. you cleared your throat, trying to hide the sudden lump that had formed there.

"yeah," he spoke softly, his voice thick with emotion. "romeo and juliet were an extraordinary example of love, weren't they? it's just a shame their story was cut so tragically short…" his words held a hint of guilt as if he shouldn't enjoy such a tragic tale so much.

"we’ll live longer," you reassured him, determination shining in your eyes.

"we’ll have a long and happy life together," choso smiled, relieved by your words. they brought him a sense of peace he hadn't felt in a long time. "i will love you until my very last breath," he whispered, his own version of romeo's famous last words.

"likewise," you replied softly, your hand still entwined with his.

"juliet…" choso's voice was barely above a whisper as he looked down at the floor. he felt his cheeks flush as he spoke, nervousness fluttering in his chest.

"come on, say my name," you urged him gently. "call me by my name."

choso repeated your name quietly, relishing the sound of it on his lips. saying your name in such an intimate manner only added to the jittery feeling inside him. he squeezed your hand tighter for a moment, reveling in the easy flirtation between the two of you.

HAIIIIII :3 ‼️ could you write some hcs abt ino takuma x f!reader :D plsss ??

that’d be much appreciated, ty <3

Aweeee I love the pic so much. 💕 (I got carried away, but I hope you enjoy.)

Thinking of Ino who meets you during a trip to Nanami’s favorite bakery…

✦•┈┈┈┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑ ┈┈┈┈•✦

──★ ˙

Ino!Takuma who’s the type of guy who swears up and down that he’ll never get into a relationship because how stressful it seems. (He watched too many of those depressing, heartbroken Instagram reels.)

Ino!Takuma whose the type of guy that genuinely appreciates all forms of beauty, he isn’t picky at all. If a person happens to look good, he isn’t afraid to walk up to them, and compliment them.

Ino!Takuma who literally felt like a totally different person when he noticed your presence. The over confident, and usually social guy actually found himself shying away from the bakery’s main window as he caught a glimpse of you peering in at the pastries from the outside. (You were beyond gorgeous, and he couldn’t help but gawk at the sight of your curious form gazing around the transparent glass.)

Ino!Takuma who quickly looked away when he met your gaze for the first time, his face radiating with heat as he shoved his beanie down over his forehead, and fumbled for his phone to use as a distraction.

Ino!Takuma who found himself desperately wanting to sink back into his own skin the moment he heard the door chime jingle as it opened.

Ino!Takuma who watched you peer around at the different pastries on display, obviously wanting to get a closer look at the ones you couldn’t see very well from outside.

Ino!Takuma who didn’t even hear the poor baker that was working the register, call his name saying that Nanami’s order was ready for pickup. (She had to say ‘Excuse me sir’ like four times.)

Ino!Takuma who quickly tore his eyes away from you once he realized that the lady was calling for him. He apologized profusely, and couldn’t help but chuckle and rub at his nape, as the woman gave him an all knowing smile.

Ino!Takuma who dismissed the unspoken accusations, just telling her that he only thought you were pretty, but didn’t want to bother you.

Ino!Takuma who waved the clerk a polite goodbye, before hastily turning around and running straight into you.

Ino!Takuma who was obviously stunned at the sudden interaction, but thankfully didn’t freeze, and was able to catch you in time with one arm before you fell.

Ino!Takuma who helped you gain your balance before hastily apologizing, and asking if you were okay. He was shocked the first time he ever heard your voice, all light hearted as you let a small laugh escape your lips. (He thought you were gonna curse at him to watch where he was going or something. Why? He doesn’t even know himself.)

Ino!Takuma who shared a laugh with you, as you murmured something about how his move to save you from falling mimicked something straight out of a Disney movie.

Ino!Takuma who felt a little bummed when your interaction was cut short by a phone call from Nanami asking where he was, and what was taking him so long.

Ino!Takuma who gave you a nervous smile, before waving goodbye, and darting out of that small bakery. (He knows it was a wuss move to use Nanami’s call as an excuse to get away, but what could he do? He wasn’t feeling like his normal, chill self, instead he felt all nervous, and anxious. How strange.)

Ino!Takuma who spent the entire week thinking about the pretty girl he’d met at the small bakery that Nanami usually frequented. He’d been thinking about going back there for the longest, but he felt like he never really had a proper excuse to. (Nanami was back on schedule, so he didn’t need Ino to pick up his lunch for him.)

Ino!Takuma who mustered up the courage to drop by the bakery without an order from Nanami to pick up. It’d been two weeks since he’d last been there, and when he walked in, he was surprised to see you nestled up by a front window, typing away at your computer.

Ino!Takuma who’d spent the better half of an hour in his car, hyping himself up, and running through possible conversation dialogues, found himself at a complete, and utterly loss after he’d told the clerk that he wasn’t here to pick up Nanami’s usual.

Ino!Takuma who nearly leapt out of his skin when he heard your smooth, tired voice echo from behind him, as he saw your hand scoot your empty coffee cup towards the clerk.

Ino!Takuma who stole a glance at you, as you waited for your refill. He wondered if you still remembered him, just as vividly as he remembered you. (He got his answer when you teased him about not bumping into you again, because this time you had coffee.)

Ino!Takuma who stuttered for the very first time since 2nd grade, as he quietly asked for a recommendation from you.

Ino!Takuma who turned to face you, as he observed your facial expressions while you pondered. (You spilled out a few pastries that were your personal favorites, and he repeated everything to the clerk, claiming that he wanted to try them all to broaden his palate.)

Ino!Takuma who found that conversing with you wasn’t as hard as it seemed, and you even invited him back to sit at your table. (He was so nervous, but he agreed, and the two of you talked for hours, all while he tried out the pastries you’d recommended to him. The conversation ranging from Anime, to your job, and other interests.)

Ino!Takuma who walked you out to your car when it was time for you to go. (He really didn’t want to part ways, and you somehow caught on to his dejected aura. After bidding you a goodnight, he turned to walk away, but you called out to him, and told him that you were always in this bakery, and if he stopped by, maybe the two of you could hang out like this again. He agreed almost immediately.)

Ino!Takuma who took you up on your offer, and visited that bakery every single day, just to talk to you. (The more he conversed with you, the more open, and overall relaxed he became.)

Ino!Takuma who established a good relationship with you, even going so far as to calling you his “bakery buddy”.

Ino!Takuma who happened to walk into the small bakery a bit earlier than he usually did, one particular morning, and caught sight of some guy and his friends trying to get your number.

Ino!Takuma whose initial reaction was to freeze by the door, and just watch the whole thing go down, found himself feeling a bit nervous. (Not because of the guys of course, he was just worried that you’d actually take them up on their offer to exchange contacts. After all, they were good looking, all of them had on stuff that was more expensive than the custom rims he liked to buy for his car. They literally outclassed him in every possible way.)

Ino!Takuma who released the biggest sigh of relief when he heard you politely turn them down, and return your focus back to your computer. (He’d never seen you act so coldly, and he wondered if you despised those types of stuck up guys.)

Ino!Takuma who felt his eye twitch in anger as he heard one of them murmur a slur under his breath, and another call you a bitch.

Ino!Takuma who had to hold his own self back as he nearly swung a punch towards one of the guys who was talking the most smack. He had to keep reminding himself that it wasn’t exactly his place to do that. (He wasn’t your boyfriend or anything, so all he could afford to do was stare them down as they squeezed past him to leave out the bakery door with a look that could kill.

Ino!Takuma who followed them with his eyes until they were completely out of sight, before deciding to finally walk up to the counter to order his usual. (He was so pissed, he didn’t even notice that you were watching him. It was only when he got his chocolate filled croissant and a cup of coffee, that he finally turned around, and saw you gawking at him.)

Ino!Takuma whose demeanor immediately switched as he flashed you a nervous grin before walking over to your usual table. Your eyes never left him, and Ino could feel little bits of perspiration dripping down his back. (He didn’t have to be a genius to know that you’d seen his whole mood switch just seconds ago.)

Ino!Takuma who kept telling himself to let his angered and annoyed feelings go, but just couldn’t.

Ino!Takuma who, as much as he wanted to enjoy your teasing about his strange behavior, he found that the more the conversation dragged on about those guys, the angrier he got by the second.

Ino!Takuma who felt his initial anger completely melt into that of pure shock when he heard what you asked him next. (“If you’re so angry about those guys hitting on me, why not do something about it? Yknow, to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”)

Ino!Takuma who literally stared at you like his brain short-circuited or something. (It literally did.)

Ino!Takuma who stuttered for the second time since 2nd grade, horribly stumbling over his words as he tried his best to ask you out on a date. (You chuckled at his flustered state, and happily said yes.)

Ino!Takuma who couldn’t help but dwell in his own embarrassment the moment he got back to his car, dragging his beanie down over his eyes, and groaning into his hands. (He’d made sure to walk you to your car, and nearly sprinted away the moment you said goodnight. He didn’t understand how you were able to keep your cool so well. Why was he the one always left so flustered after every interaction. Everything you did just seemed so effortless to him.)

Ino!Takuma who had to give himself a pep talk the next day to even be able to get out his car. (He’d been sitting there in the bakery’s parking lot for the past 20 minutes, trying to work up the confidence to talk to you again. He’d embarrassed himself so badly yesterday.)

Ino!Takuma who finally entered through the bakery’s doors, to find you already looking over at him. (He was so tempted to turn around and leave, because damn you were so pretty.)

Ino!Takuma who didn’t even bother going up to the register to order his usual. Instead, he bidded you a good morning, before plopping down in his usual seat. Unlike what he was so worried about, conversation between the two of you sparked up almost immediately, and he completely forgot about his initial embarrassment.

Ino!Takuma who spent the entire day with you in that bakery, just like he always did. Admiring you, as you talked a little bit about anything and everything.

Ino!Takuma who walked you to your car like always, but stopped you when you were about to get in.

Ino!Takuma who whipped out his phone, and timidly asked for your number. (As you were typing it in, he just would not shut up about why he needed your number. Rambling on and on, about the most random things, until you handed his phone back, pressing it into his chest.)

Ino!Takuma who shut up immediately, before bidding you goodnight, and walking off in the direction of his car. (What you couldn’t see was the enormous blush that spread all the way to the tips of his ears.)

Ino!Takuma who texted you first, telling you who he was. (He forgot you saved his number.)

Ino!Takuma who set up a date with you, not once mentioning where the two of you were going. (He sucked at planning, and had to ask Nanami to help him.)

Ino!Takuma who anxiously awaited the day of your scheduled meeting time, pulling up to your place almost a whole hour early.

Ino!Takuma who nearly gawked at your outfit, when you finally emerged from your front door.

Ino!Takuma who jumped out of the drivers seat, to jog over to open the passenger door for you.

Ino!Takuma whose first date was the skating rink. (He was a pro at skating, and even though you sucked pure ass, he was always by your side, effortlessly picking you up, and making sure that you never once fell, not hard at least.)

Ino!Takuma who then took you out to eat some delicious food. (He was not one for fancy restaurants, as unlike Nanami, he loved greasy food.)

Ino!Takuma who then took you out to one of his favorite spots on the beach, so you could relax your sore feet in the warm, wet sand.

Ino!Takuma who was elated when you said yes to another date, and immediately got to work on planning another outing with you.

Ino!Takuma who was always a joy, and a breath of fresh air to be with. He wasn’t all uptight, and sophisticated, nor was he a lazy bum. He was perfect, and it wasn’t very surprising when you didn’t even let him finish his sentence when he asked you be his girlfriend.

Ino!Takuma who then started driving over to your place to hang out, bringing along your usual coffee and pastries from the bakery with him.

Ino!Takuma who’s favorite pastime was bickering with you about who was the strongest anime character in history, and who could beat who in a fight with no powers.

Ino!Takuma who’d call you whenever he missed you, always telling you that he loved you. (He literally sounds like beast boy from teen titans whenever you answer. Always saying, “Hey Mama!” The moment he hears your beautiful voice.)

Ino!Takuma who’s a complete softie, and unlike how he was before the two of you started dating, he’s very direct about how he feels.)

Ino!Takuma who really loves you with everything he’s got, and has completely changed his view on relationships.

💕—————💕

It’s January, 1988. Their apartment is warm and lit by amber bulbs. Four in the afternoon in Chicago, work days over, dinner slow cooking in the crockpot on the counter. Eddie’s already dressed down in pajamas, grabbing a couple beers from their fridge, waiting for Steve to arrive home. Domestic. He’s been domesticated. He’s warm with contentment.

The plan is that Steve is going to get home, change out of his Family Video get up (because, yes, the video store has followed him to Illinois), get into his sweats and a Denver Bronco’s t-shirt, rush to get his sneakers back on, and hurry over to the local sports bar to yell over the Super Bowl. It’s been discussed. Marked on the calendar. Steve’s been excited for the last several months, practically bubbling with passion at the mere thought that one of his favorite teams made it to the “big game” as he described it to Eddie.

Now, Eddie’s no sports guy. He really, really, really isn’t. But he’d grown up with Wayne watching football. Tuning the television to ABC, right at the top of six, Miller in hand, bowl of chips in the other. Eddie usually resigned himself to a night of sitting on the couch, clueless to the sports world around him, probably nose deep in campaign notes. But he’s not in Indiana. He’s not listening to Wayne’s gruff commentary as he prepares for a night in with football. He’s in Illinois with his boyfriend, Steve Harrington—sports extraordinaire, quite literally.

Steve does this wonderfully adorable thing where he pulls out his new copy of Sports Illustrated or tunes in on their little kitchen radio or flips to whatever game is on, he rattles on about statistics and new players and his predictions—what team he thinks will make it to playoffs, which players will retire that year, how many touchdowns a team will get. It’s his favorite thing to talk about. Well, it could be any sport. He knows quite a bit about literally any sport. 

“Who had the most strikeouts in 1984?” Eddie had asked one evening. 

Without any preamble, Steve had shot him with, “Dwight Gooden, New York Mets.”

So, yeah, Steve knows his shit. At least in Eddie’s humble opinion.

Which is why, even though Eddie will probably get super bored, he’s got the TV remote ready. Just waiting on Steve’s quick arrival.

And, not too long later, keys are jingling outside of their apartment’s front door, impatient steps marching in place on the porch. “Just come in, babe! It’s unlocked!” Eddie shouts, chuckling under his breath. 

In comes Steve, a whirlwind of energy. He sheds his coat by the front door, snowflakes falling from his shoulders and the top of his beanie. The coat doesn’t even make it over a chair, is just chucked down to the hardwood. Ripping the hat off his head reveals the most glorious and awful hedgehog style Eddie’s ever seen. But that doesn’t even seem to phase Steve. He just runs a hand through his hair, knocking his glasses askew (yes, glasses, Eddie’s wet dream), quickly wetting his lips with his tongue. He’s already talking a mile a minute.

“Happy hour got moved up an hour at the bar! There’s a whole block taken up by cars.” His voice gets farther and farther away the more he retreats to their bedroom. There’s some rustling around as he looks for his sweatpants. “Bunch of Redskins fans all meeting there, feels like! Gonna be the only one with a Broncos shirt. It’s insane, Eds! They’re all talking about how Doug Williams is gonna lead the Redskins to victory. Which, I’ll give it to them, he’s awesome! He’s one of the best quarterbacks I’ve seen in a long time. Honestly, he’ll probably make history with this game.”

Steve reenters the living space, still chatting up a storm, eyes wandering for his yet to be obtained sweats. Eddie’s got a hand over his mouth, chuckling lowly into his cupped palm. He’s such a dork, he can’t help but think.

He continues on, oblivious to Eddie's adoration snickering. “I’m really excited to see how this goes. Y’know how there was a players strike this season?” He’s asking rhetorically because he usually doesn’t get a response from Eddie, but he nods anyway, because he does know. It’s all Steve’s talked about. “Season was shortened, but…Considering how the Redskins are doing? This might be a crazy game. And also—Wait.” Steve stops short in front of Eddie in the entryway of their small kitchen. He sniffs the air.

“It’s bean dip, babe,” Eddie answers already knowing. “I—uh—I made it for you, for tonight.”

“But I’m not gonna be home? I’ll be up the street?”

Eddie shrugs. “Or…you could be here? With me?” He enters Steve’s space, wiggling the TV remote in his grip. “I put the dip in this morning after you left for work. Went out to the store and picked up a case of Millers. Your sweatpants are in the dryer, I’m warming them up. Just in case the cold creeps under the door, you know how it gets.”

And that makes Steve shut up really fast. His mouth hangs open in silent awe. Hands limp at his sides. Then, all at once, his eyes light up and a smile stretches over his face. “You wanna watch the Super Bowl with me?”

Eddie nods. “Yeah, baby. You’ve been talking about it for a while and…I don’t know, you’re so excited, I knew that I couldn’t take that from you. Make you leave the house and not bear witness to your whole—“ He waves a hand over Steve’s bouncing in place body. His flapping hands, the jump to his feet as he quite literally bounces on the tips of his toes. “—Look at you right now! You’re like a dog waiting for me to throw the ball. How could I not watch it with you?” He grabs Steve by his left elbow and drags them over to the couch.

Finally, he turns the television on, flips it over to ABC, and plops the remote in Steve’s lap. He’s still jittering out of his skin.

“You want to watch the game with me,” he states, once more in awe. “Because I get excited? But—You don’t like football? You’re gonna get bored.”

Once again, Eddie shrugs. “So what if I get bored? I don’t need to watch the game, I just need to watch you. I’ll know how to react based on how you do. So far, it sounds like the Redskins are gonna be a pain in the ass for you, right?”

“You remembered the name of the team?”

Eddie scoffs. “Of course I do! I listen to you when you talk about your sports stuff. You’ve been moaning and groaning about the Redskins’ new star quarterback for a while now. You think I don’t enjoy sitting next to you on the couch when you read off the stats in your magazines? Baby, it’s the highlight of my day.”

Steve’s eyes soften, they glisten, surprisingly. “Really? You don’t mind when I talk about my sports things? Even when…Even when it isn’t that interesting to you?”

“Loving you means loving what you love,” Eddie simply states. “Just like when you let me ramble about campaign notes and how infuriating it’s been to find a new Dungeons & Dragons group.” He wraps an arm over Steve’s shoulders, drawing him in close. His free hand cradles Steve’s right cheek, it’s wet under his palm. “Why you cryin’ sweet thing?” He murmurs.

It’s Steve’s turn to shrug. He sniffs back a gross wad of snot. “Nobody ever liked listening to me talk about it, I don’t know. Used to watch the games alone. Hated that.”

Leaning in, Eddie pecks Steve’s forehead. “Well, that changes starting tonight, alright? So, go grab your sweats from the dryer, slip into your Broncos shirt, settle in on the couch. I’ll get us some food, crack open our beers, and you can shout and slap my chest all you want about your game. How’s that sound?”

“Like you know me really well,” Steve answers.

“Good, baby,” he whispers. “Love knowing you. Love loving you.”
