waccha primagi episode 28 spoilers (yes. yes. yes. yes. ye)
Matsuri’s dad Michihito is magic?! or at least he has a magic stone? omg if he’s magic then Matsuri should be able to use magic at some point, like I’ve been kind of hoping since the beginning, and like it kind of seemed like they might be hinting at in the first couple of eps... wow I hope so
AH cut to him in magic clothes in the magic world!! oh my god ok so he is magic and he’s never around bc he’s in. the magic world. oh wow ok ok
“every time I look at this accessory, ...”
subtitle: “it sparkles with magi” (implying that Matsuri knows and has always known it’s a magical item. despite Myamu being the first to tell her about all that. esp with the “your dad” line from Myamu after this making it sound like she knows her dad is magical..)
actually what she said: “I feel stronger” (as in she remembers her bond with her family and it gives her strength, a totally non-magical phenomenon that we in the real world can experience. not to mention that she’s talking about herself (I) and not the brooch (it))
also on the subject of subs I think it’s very funny that they felt the need to change manamana to treasured partner or w/e and yet they leave magi as magi. wow I am in a mood today aren’t I
:o ! this is much earlier than I thought they would introduce the concept of magic users as idols!! I was thinking that’s season 2 territory but here we are
AHH they unshadowed Ryuume!! she’s so pretty. and her bodice really is just like Myam’s.
there is 0 hint of Myamu being put on stage in this op though. I wonder if maybe they just talk about it and it never actually happens in this season.
Bad End: the My Precious One in the ep title is Touma and Huyiui talking about Matsuri and Myamu respectively and not each other :( pretty sure that is what it is though
just did a spit take at the thought of Matsuri following Hina around the track staring straight at her with that :D!!!! expression the whole time
oh, I thought Michihito’s logo was slightly different from the Omega corp logo, but it’s the same as this fancy one on either side of the screen. guess they have different versions of it. interesting that he’s apparently a member of both the magic world and Omega, or has been at different points possibly
6 elements!! we know three, and two of the remaining ones are the same symbol flipped, which I’m sure would be a good hint if I had any ideas about it. air and.. wind....? ;;; the last heart one is different from the Smile Element symbol, btw, so Smile might be just an arcade-only gimmick or a secret later-season reveal.
ah! so Euphoria is a goddess. maybe the Captain Planet to all of these elements?
wtf the ep isn’t even halfway over
I recognize this flower-and-column stage, it’s the same one Karen Aikatsu used in her solo songs. wow the pieces are all coming together
Hugheyi, if Omega wanted you instead of Myamu, couldn’t they have just said so. you are always over there after all
‘money can be exchanged for goods and services’ - Chimumu
if Matsuri’s next song doesn’t have her doing acrobatics I swear
so this is the first time a magic user’s been on stage, I was wondering.
canon spelling of Hughie (and Toma).... fine I will stop misspelling it now haha
ah, they even get a unit name. Truth. it’s whatever
LIPSTICK! EYESHADOW! HANDHOLDING! this primagi’s got it all
isn’t this just the bit before Kanon and Keke did Tiny Stars
WOW Toma really got a makeover too. red hair huh... not a fan but I like the rest of his look
the moment of truth (hrrgkh pun unintentional kill me)... will this look decent or will we have to relive the spider-limbed dance of WiTH
I am going to be laughing for the next 100 years at Hughie’s wolf howl
LMAO WHAT IS THIS SLOW CROTCH GESTURE. chilling
a cyclone... king of prism reference (<- person who’s only seen kinpri before)
ooh! interesting how Hughie is both performing and acting as the manamana before the illusion, def a hint as to how a magic user might go on stage solo
this illusion is cute. it’s vague enough that I can pretend they’re talking about each other for sure lol
not a bad song! not that I believe primagi could make a bad song anyway. the models weren’t upsetting either and overall it looked good. tbh most of my excitement was used on plot stuff so that I have little left now but even though I’m not screaming I really am delighted and amazed that we got a boy performance 1) this soon and 2) this plot-relevant. also last but definitely not least 3) this gay thank you primagi
the first primagistas to be visibly out of breath in cgi. is it bc it’s supposed to be sexy or w/e
so this is how everyone gets the duo bug! more of that next week + more Miruki misfortune... yes. yes, good. I wonder if she’s going to get a brand dress or a unit dress first--wait, no, her brand dress is in the game currently, it’s gotta be that one. wow, maybe next week even? hope so!

Welcome, dear readers, to part 1 of the finale to the BackupKingdom2 saga! We’re in our final ambition now, let’s check how Liz’s post-divorce-bloodbath is going..
Tumblr media
Oh yes, excellent. Our path to death-achievement-glory has been paved with so many executions that wherever I look I see npcs crying..
Tumblr media
..comforting each other..
Tumblr media
..and in Agnes' case, coming straight to Liz to.. ask for mercy for the populace I guess?? Bruh. I can't believe we even brought down AGNES, truly this is the saddest kingdom on earth. Amazing job, Liz, you've definitely earned your place in the tyrant hall of fame!
Now a lesser player would be like "oh, maybe we should chill a little on the insane tyrant thing, finish the Pirate/Noble arc cause we've been dragging this war out so the pirates/guildsmen would keep spawning and it should have ended like 20 quests ago" and true, we could just end it, we ran a very effective operation around here, shoutout to MVPs Donius and Bellinda and their 'seductive' legendary traits:
Tumblr media
They bedded them and Liz beheaded them, the power of teamwork! So one could say that we should consider raising kingdom morale now because everyone is so depressed but I think, if anything, now is the time to ramp it up and go for some of the other morally questionable achievements! Like Machiavelli said, you should commit all your atrocities at once! What do you think, Liz? Ready to get atrocious?
Tumblr media
-OH FUCK YEA, I’M ENRAGED, I DROPPED MY FIDDLE IN THE PIT AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE SERVANT TO GET ME A NEW ONE!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME >:(
Aw I’m sorry Liz, but I’m sure you the upcoming suffering of your subjects will cheer you up!
Tumblr media
-Ok motherfuckers, by order of the Crown aka ME -you hear that Rae?? ME, NOT YOU. God I want to execute you so bad, fucking ingrate, do you remember what rags you were wearing when I hired you??  
Let’s get this back on track, Liz.
-Right, so by order of the Crown, Magus Olivia and Spymaster Spainot are given COMPLETE LEGAL IMMUNITY to do whatever the fuck they want in the interest of earning achievements, so don’t you people come crying to me cause I don’t give one tiny chinchilla crap about your health and livelihoods. If you need me for something actually important, I'll be at the gates, executing anyone who doesn't like my fiddle playing.
Tumblr media
-Oh man, this folksy peasant hat isn’t protecting my ears enough.
Tumblr media
-THOUGHT I WOULDN’T HEAR YOUR LITTLE MURMUR, DID YOU  -YOUR MAJESTY NO I ONLY MEANT MY EARS WERE COLD -WELL ALL OF YOUR BODY’S ABOUT TO BE COLD NOW! CONSTABLE, THROW THIS PEASANT IN THE PIT
Tumblr media
-Death marker? I hardly know 'er!
So the Constable npc has this little Billy Elliot subplot going, I'm pretty sure he has the 'drunkard' fatal flaw because he was always at the tavern so I had Bellinda try to hire him to perform in one of her plays just to see what would happen and it actually worked, and now he moonlights as an actor! It's cute but it also takes forever for him to come arrest people.
Tumblr media
-THEY LOVE ME ❤️😁 -CONSTABLE WHATSYOURNAME, COME OVER HERE AND DO YOUR FUCKING JOB OR YOU'RE NEXT FOR THE PIT
Tumblr media
-No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, when someone dies😢
In the background you can see that Bellinda just got a pregnancy bump, it’s her lovechild with Donius, I for real can’t keep these two apart. Anyway, the time has come..
Tumblr media
..to unleash Magus Olivia onto the populace.
-You know what, I'd rather not, this book is finally getting good and I'm sick of cursing peasants, it doesn't even drop their mood that much..
Oh no, Olivia my beloved, we're not cursing them, we're going for the 'Well Done' achievement!
-NO WAY.
WAY.
-Won't I be executed??
You have immunity! You can do whatever you want!! And, AND, once you complete it, because I know it's tiring, I'll give you a magic skeletal parrot as a gift!! Edward got all the materials for it while treasure-hunting, you'd think I'd let him keep it but that's not the kind of shop I'm running here.
Tumblr media
-This is my face of pure, childlike happiness!
Good lord, it’s terrifying, please don’t look at me like that.
Tumblr media
-Alright, time to roll down my sleeves so they look more sinister and do this thing.
You can do it, Olivia!
-Of course I can, save your reassurance for the flops that need it.
Tumblr media
-I.. cast.. INFERNO!
...
-What?
I mean really, those are the words, "I cast inferno"? Can't you say something with more evil magical flair?
-Not when I have to cast it 80 fucking times I can't.
Tumblr media
-IT BURNS, IT BURNSSSSS
Oh how the tables have turned, usually it's the witch that gets burned, huhu! Did you hear that, Olivia? Did you like my joke??
Tumblr media
-Oh, it's beautiful!
Well it wasn't one of my best-
-Not you, you needy moron, the sight of burning flesh! I can't wait to do this 79 more times!
Tumblr media
Alright, so everyone in the tavern has been turned into a chicken nugget, time to get some rest and check in with Spainot!
Tumblr media
-Amazing news, Rodolfo, I just got royal permission to unlawfully lock up and interrogate whoever I want for the achievements!!!
Tumblr media
-Darling, no offense, but aren't you a bit too shit at your job for that? -WHAT????
Tumblr media
-FUCK YOU RODOLFO YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF MY SUCCESS -I WISH I WAS JEALOUS OF YOUR SUCCESS, THEN YOU'D BE SUCCESSFUL AND I WOULDN'T BE MARRIED TO A BROKE LOSER
Tumblr media
-And then he says the only reason he hasn't dumped me is he doesn't wanna be a rando npc while Batshit Liz is on an execution spree, can you believe this bullshit? How can anyone be so hurtful??
Tumblr media
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO NO PLEASE DON'T HAVE THIS CHINCHILLA MAUL ME I'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT
-How about you give me some marital advice, are you even listening?! Ugh.
Tumblr media
That's right, while Olivia is inferno-ing the peasants, I've sicced Spainot on the nobility, specifically all those foreign diplomats that are always hanging in the reception hall, lagging up the place. We're going for the 100 interrogations achievement and we’ve installed a nice spiky torture chair right in the middle of the hall to save time! Now this is how we keep every stratum of society terrified enough to not realize that the person in charge is.. uh.. well you know:
Tumblr media
-DANCE TO MY FIDDLE, PIRATE, DANCE!
-I AM!!!!!
-DANCE MORE ENTHUSIASTICALLY. ALL THE WAY TO THE PIT
Tumblr media
After a couple days and several locations I feel we’re pretty close to 80 infernos!
Tumblr media
I’d say we’ve burned a good 50-60% of the population at this point, everywhere I look I see singed townies-
Tumblr media
-so we take this little barbecue to the palace because we’ve ran out of peasants and it’s time to start burning the foreign dignitaries. And it’s a good thing we do, because Olivia meets Nyrexis the Dragon!!!! 
Nyrexis is the human form of the dragon from a hilar quest where there’s a dragon in the kingdom and you can either befriend it or slay it, I had Bellinda befriend it:
Tumblr media
So if you complete the befriend route of the quest, the human form of the dragon appears in town and is in love with whoever did the quest, in this case Bellinda. I am of course not about to waste Dragonfu on Bellinda’s basic ass, plus I feel Olivia is kind of a dragon with all the people she’s been burning so they have a lot in common! 
Tumblr media
We dazzle Dragonfu with a coin trick! True magic at work.
-OMG IT WAS BEHIND MY EAR THE WHOLE TIME -I KNOW!
Tumblr media
Good God, all of Olivia’s ‘happy’ expressions are terrifying, just don’t smile ever again, you’re too evil for it, you’re gonna scare the dragon away!
Tumblr media
Or not!!!!
Tumblr media
 AWWWWW 🐲❤️🔮
Tumblr media
You know what, fuck it, let’s lock it down, when it’s right it’s right!
-Burn stuff with me forever?? -I WILL!!!!
Tumblr media
-We are gathered here today, under threat of fiery death, to join two unholy abominations in holy matrimony. Yes, the irony is not lost on me. 
AW CONGRATS GUYS <3333 The wizard tower is so small and family un-friendly and Olivia is so unmaternal but come on, like I’m not gonna have her reproduce with a fucking dragon.
Tumblr media
Back to Spainot, we’ve hit a slight bump, mainly that this Snordwich lord is proving fucking impossible to torture. 
-Um.. Are you enjoying this??? -Sure am, bad boy, but why don’t we take this somewhere more private already?
Wtf, stop sexually harassing the innocent person who’s torturing you! Does no one around here have any sense of humanity anymore??
Tumblr media
-Come on, Spainot, throw some flesh-eating rodents at him! -I’M BUILDING UP TO IT, RAE, GAWD. No one likes a back-seat torturer!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-HA, who’s the loser now, Rodolfo? Rodolfo?? RODOLFO
Ya Spai I don’t know how to tell you this, but I’m pretty sure he left while you were interrogating, I haven’t seen him in like 3 days.
-WHAT. So Olivia completes one achievement and gets a dragon wife and a magic skeletal bird and I complete three and get dumped?!
Well what do you want from me, I don’t make the rules!
-YES YOU DO
Can we move on, please? And Olivia had a very rough go of it-
Tumblr media
-she got burned in some rando quest and looked positively karma-stricken after, inferno-ing left and right while sporting this look! She deserves a magic bird!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Congrats on your success and 4 kids, Olivia! 
-I love this skeleton bird more than I thought it possible to ever love something.
-Gee, thanks mom. 
Tumblr media
We had leftover bones so here, Spainot, you get a magic bird too.
-A bone parrot is little comfort when you’ve lost the only bone that matters! Why Rodolfo, whyyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Oh I don’t know, probably because you challenged him to duels 3 times a day?
-No, that can’t be it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you look like a man who has nothing to live for?
-Yea, I certainly don’t.
So you wouldn’t mind like, jumping into the pit multiple times so you can get the parts we need for the hardest achievement in game aka Legendary Doomsword?
-Rodolfo had one of those too, it was legendary and now that it’s gone I’m doomed!!!
Ok ya ENOUGH metaphors about Rodolfo’s absent penis, although they really are writing themselves. We’ll get him back! If you survive all the pit jumping that is. Join us next time for part 2: Legendary Doomsword!

✫ ˚♡ ⋆。 ❀ Masterlist
Tumblr media
✫ ˚♡ ⋆。 ❀ Scenario: love has no genders
It had been like you two was caught in your own pink world. The second you two filled each other's presence, the world around you would only be a blur, the voices only a muffled whisper, and the male in front of you the only thing you would focus on. And the white-haired ace? He felt the exact same way about you. Despite you being a male, which he didn’t mind at all. It was never like he hated the thought of falling in love with a male, neither did he hate the thought of falling in love with a girl. 
But you had something special, something special he wanted to discover and love. 
A few times a few flirts would slip over his mouth, making your cheeks go to a rosy and sweetish pink. A few times he would also just stare at you ranting about how boring classes were. However, never did he think that your small touches would be sending him to cloud 7. 
The first time, your hand would accidentally brush over his, to reach out for your drink. The small touch sends shivers down his spine, waking the butterflies up that had been sleeping in his stomach.
The second time, you patted his shoulder in a rather assuring manner, to tell him that even though he messed up one spike, Bokuto still did great. And that was when he realized that he fell in love with you, his classmate who he met when two people were assigned to do a project. Over and over again, the smallest things made his heart race. Just seeing you smiling, or hearing your laugh. It was the same day he realized that Bokuto wanted to make you laugh and smile every day.
Akaashi of course had taken notice of their ace staring at his male classmate, for longer than usual. And he also had taken notice how you sometimes just gently touched Bokuto what send him and his heart into space, bringing him into another world.
And of course, Akaashi would support Bokuto with confessing to you. “You will have to tell him one day.” Akaashi bluntly said after their long practice, making Bokuto frown, almost pout at his words.
How did he find out? Was it that obvious?
“But Akaashi-” Bokuto started along with a small pout, making the black-haired male shake his head. “I am sure Y/N likes you back. The way he smiles is saying a lot.” 
Akaashi wasn’t stupid though. He knew that it would take a lot more to make Bokuto or you confess, and he knew that you two would be scared that neither of you would be the preferred gender. Additionally, if the setter was wrong, which he highly doubted, Bokuto’s mood would be going down the drain very quickly, making the team lose at every game.
“But let’s wait first” He added after a few seconds of silence, making Bokuto nod his head slowly. “Maybe try to be more affectionate with him. Not too much. Try to hold his hand.” His best friend advised, before leaving the changing rooms.
And with the knowledge that you would wait for Bokuto after practice just to walk home, Akaashi waited with you, just to make sure that he was right. “You like him, am I right?” The setter simply asked, making you go quiet, but luckily right after two seconds, Bokuto left the changing rooms too, joining you two. “Anyway, let’s go.” You finally managed to say, right after the question that caught you off guard.
With heading over to you and the ace’s hand slowly inching closer to yours, you got the hint of thought and just locked your hand into his, beginning to walk down the road you two always walked down, but now also with Akaashi’s presence. “Should we get some snacks?” The mentioned dark-haired male asked you two, just to get a closer look whenever Bokuto followed his advice or not. “yes let’s get some snacks!” The cheerful male agreed, hurrying with you up to the store that was just a few minutes away from your current location.
Within opening the door, the sweet scent of sweets hit your nose, making you gain some interest in the chocolate that had been shown in the display case. The energetic male pulled out his wallet while letting you pick some things that looked delicious to you. Akaashi just stood behind you two, watching how you two were picking out some snacks, not being interested in getting anything sweet. He was not in the mood.
Being deepened in making the decision, Bokuto didn’t quite catch the judging look of a male that had been in the store too, unlike you, who immediately felt anxious with the almost toxic glare. Slowly, your hand slipped out of his, trying to go unnoticed by the loss. “Did you decide already?” Bokuto asked, thinking that you only let go just to be able to hold onto the small bag. With a small nod, you showed him whatever you wanted, caring now less about the sort of chocolate you would get, and rather got carried away by the insecurities building up in your mind. 
Akaashi’s gaze followed your gaze, making him finally understand what had been going on.
Paying and leaving the store felt like a whole while for you, which took only a few minutes. With that, you three made your way back to your houses again, while you began to eat the chocolate, to have an excuse not to hold Bokuto’s hand.
“See you tomorrow!” Bokuto cheered the next minute, at least it felt like the next minute. You must’ve lost track of the things around you. ”See you” you replied with waving, entering your house.
The next days surely will be hard.
And they were. The next days felt like the hardest days this year, your anxiety and insecurities always stopping you from doing something that was ‘wrong’, just to not get judged or looked at weirdly by other people.
Bokuto didn’t quite catch what had happened. He didn’t know what he did wrong, how you felt, and how he should feel about this all. All he knew was that anything had happened yesterday, and that wasn’t something good. The small touches had gone missing, the small smiles and laughs were not the same anymore and it felt like you were hiding something from him.
“Y/N.” he finally started, rather than getting led by his feelings. “Did I do something wrong?” The ace asked a little shaky, scared that you would say something along the lines like “Yes”. But instead, he got a rather calming and assuring response he kinda had hoped for. “No, why?” A small sigh left his lips, like it took quite a few weights off his shoulders, making you smile a little, genuinely again. “I was just worried. You don’t hold my hand anymore” He pouted, making you almost give in and tell him what had been wrong.
But then again, you were scared to tell him about that. “Oh” was the only word that had come to your mind right in that second, making him not a little. “Why don’t you hold my hand anymore?” He whined out, bringing your thoughts mixed up and making them all foggy. “I uh-” you started, but almost immediately got cut off by him sitting beside you and bringing you into a loose hug, his hands only resting on the bench and his head placed on your shoulder. “Is it my fault?” He whined out, and before he could go on with his rant you quickly gave him an assuring head shake. “Then tell me why you don’t hold my hand anymore” He whined again. “Uh well-” Before you could finish your sentence, the male picked his head up, to stare right into your eyes, perhaps almost staring into your soul. “You know if you feel embarrassed you can just tell me” “That’s not the case bo”.
His hands moved up to your cheeks, making your heart race again. “You know, Akaashi once said that love has no genders” He gently said, almost hinting that he liked you. “I guess that’s true.” The male poutingly added, making you finally choke out some words too. “You like me?” The question caught him off guard, but instead of answering he just pressed a kiss on your forehead, leaving you slightly speechless. “I hope you like me” He indirectly answered your question and put his head back on your shoulder.
“Of course I do-”
“Then hold my hand again.” he whined once again, but shut up as soon as your hand reached out for his.

⧏ hyuck’s installment of the keep your cool collective ⧐
Tumblr media
synopsis: you’ve decided that the boy in ‘66’ is yours.
✧ ice hockey player!hyuck x (fem.) reader x ice hockey player!jeno + best friend!renjun
✧ genres : fluff, minor angst ✧ word count : 2.3k ✧ disclaimer : swearing
Tumblr media
✧ author’s note — finally my brain had the gall to pull through with this idea but i'm left with the realization that all my hyuck fics are just him simping for u.
Tumblr media
hyuck internally sighs, his head ringing and ankles sore, as the buzzer goes off, signaling the end of the third round. he’s almost elated, even though he’s sure his team hasn’t won, by just the fact that the game is over. hyuck is by no means sick of ice hockey but lately, the mere idea of it drives him into exhaustion. as he turns to expect the disappointed stare of his coach, he’s surprised when he’s met with a halfhearted smirk. weird, the coach should know more than anyone how lazily this game had played out. but then, as an afterthought, he checks the scoreboard and realizes with an oh shit, that they were tied with the opposing team, somehow.
his line of vision is parting from the board when he makes unfortunate eye contact with the person entering the rink. your hair is pulled back with a pale pink scrunchie and your outfit is a certified mess of oversized hoodie and sweat shorts upon white sneakers. he can quite literally feel the heat that is quick to rush to his cheeks, unfailing to hide his flustered state. he knows he looks stupid but he still can't help but stare and ogle at new and blatant eye candy as she crosses the threshold into the cold space. half your figure is  now covered by the wall that separates the stands with the rink though it doesn't matter because he's still equally enamoured by simply your presence. 
"hyuck, why you staring at y/n?"
hyuck can only wince inwardly as he stutters out, "that's- that's y/n?" it seems unfair that renjun's been hoarding such a pretty specimen to himself. "like your best friend, y/n?"
"yeah, what about her?"
"br-bro, you never mentioned that she was pretty."
"hey, don't even think about it. you're the last possible person i'd set her up with. plus, she's with jeno, they went on a date after practice last time, remember?"
there's an underlying disappointment in donghyuck's tone when he's only able to produce a soft, "oh," because frankly he doesn't know why he's so worked up over someone who he's never even met and that's also dating one of his close teammates. amidst his confused trance, he almost fails to notice his coach call for a pre-game huddle.
he ends up tuning out most of it, now distracted by how jeno keeps glancing back at you and making funny faces, you returning them with the! cutest! little expressions he has ever had the pleasure to lay his eyes upon. the rest of the game is played out with enthusiasm on his part, even going so far as scoring in two more points. he's quick to doubt the truth but donghyuck knows that it's whoever that girl is in the front seats that's making him outdo himself.
the game ends and his team wins, claps and cheers at how the game had turned around in their favor, but donghyuck reverts into a sulky demeanor as soon as he's off the rink and into the locker rooms. he notices jeno, being quick and almost feisty with the other boys that are taking too long for his liking in hogging the showers. donghyuck assumes it has something to do with the (gorgeous, wtf) girl that's waiting on him for a date. hardly fair, he thinks, if only he'd met you earlier by chance, he knows he'd definitely have the ability to charm you out of your wits. after all, he's smart, his face is undeniably agreeable, his sense of humor is top notch, and well, what's not to like?
instead of getting closer to you as he so hoped he would, he ends up becoming more familiar with the routine disappointment, and yet delight, at seeing you show up after practices, games, and eventually, team gatherings outside the rink. he's okay with it, he thinks. but it becomes frequent, even, that you show up out of the blue, with the invitation from jeno, and he's starting to lose his cool when it comes to the simplest of interactions. being included in a conversation with you was no problem, as long as he wasn't talking. eye contact? bearable, but not for more than half a second. and the utmost unfortunate luck for the boy if you ever asked him to pass you a fork, or a spoon, or a goddamned napkin. 
he's not so sure anymore, one sullen night, that he could ever make you his, even if he was gifted the chance. when you're not by jeno's side, you're by renjun's, and if that isn't telling enough about how uncomfy you feel around everyone else, he wouldn't know any better. but even laying within the deepest, darkest parts of night, the screen on his phone displaying your more recent instagram post of you on jeno's back, a sun setting beach painted behind the two of you, he finds his heart yearning to know more about you. he knows you're not one to reach out, to make friends unless in a situation that calls for it, so he supposes now is as good as a time as any to shoot his shot, at being friends.
he braves himself for this hefty task. his breaths are ragged and his heart is already hammering a deep crater inside his chest at just the thought of following through with his plan. his fingers are shaking and his pupils are twitting at about the same pace and it appears that none of his bodily functions seem to be within his control anymore. but before he can press the button, his door is thunked wide open with a hard force, the handle even going so far as to lodge itself neatly into the wall that's now been broken through. donghyuck's mouth is hanging ajar but he's barely surprised to see that the culprit of such heinous and costly action is jeno. lee jeno. 
donghyuck makes swift and subtle actions to shove his phone underneath his pillow but when he takes a good look at the boy's face, he realizes that he didn't need to be so discrete in the first place. jeno's eyes are swollen, and not in the way that suggests he got into a big manly manly fight and came out the victor, but in the way that looks as if his three cats died, all at once, and he'd taken it upon himself to cry for each of their mothers respectively. 
the same eyes rove about the room before settling on the bed, his body following suit but moving as if it were part of another entity entirely. the mattress sinks down low with his body weight and he repositions himself so that he's laying down comfortably, his legs still hung over and down the side. donghyuck can hear jeno's ragged breaths, not unlike his own a minute ago, and he wonders what hell of a day the boy had had to render him into this state of numbed consciousness. but before he can even form the question that sits at the edge of his mind, jeno's voice reverberates lowly in the silence of the room.
"she broke up with me," donghyuck blinks purposefully, "something 'bout how she thinks she might like someone else, fucking bastard."
"is she the bastard?" donghyuck tries to disassociate his feelings from his words and come across as...helpful in lifting his friend's mood.
jeno chuckles, "no, hyuck, she's not the bastard. bastard's the guy who has her heart. i'm glad she told me though, she's never been one to hide things."
"yeah, would've been worse if she dragged it on, huh."
"yeah, a lot worse."
donghyuck's voice almost gets caught within the confines of his rationality, "did she tell you who he- the bastard is?" he sighs inwardly, knowing that this was none of his business whatsoever, but the desire to know seeps into his thoughts. 
jeno sighs as well, "no, not really. she said it was some boy on the team though, might even be you now that i think about it."
"oh," is, yet again, the only thing he is able to produce. 
the new revelations seem to give life to donghyuck. the mere idea that there's a possibility of interest in his direction is something that he thrives off of. mundane tasks like washing the dishes are now enjoyable hobbies, no actual brain work, head empty, thoughts of you exclusively. when it comes to practice, you're no longer there, your presence reduced to hushed talk between the boys and renjun, asking him if you really are the reason jeno's been so out of it, letting easy pucks into the goal left and right. hyuck is relieved, though, that he gets a break, a step back to rethink his crazed emotions. maybe it really was just simple infatuation. maybe it was just because he hadn't gotten laid in awhile. or even just the fact that he's been hanging out with the boys too much and that the first girl he set his eyes on in days ultimately became the protagonist to his daydreams. hell, he is especially glad that you decided it wasn't worth showing your face at the rink for the time being for jeno would've been downright devastated.
that whole paragraph of feelings is bluntly disregarded and thrown off track as he enters the corner cafe a few blocks down from his house and is met with you waving your hand excitedly at him and motioning for him to sit with you. he doesn't hesitate, of course, but makes sure he takes slow and deliberate steps to the window booth you're sitting at just to make sure he at least gets in four deep breaths before he is inevitably subjected to not breathing in your presence.
"hyuck, it's been awhile, i hope this doesn't make you uncomfortable or anything," your face morphs into an expression of realization as it hits you that calling him over was entirely to satisfy your own hopes and dreams. the boy sitting across from you, smiling lightly, might as well be feigning a pleasant disposition, grossed out by the girl that dumped his friend just because she thought she was interested in someone else. by the end of this thought, your voice is reduced to a timid pitch, "you can leave if you want, it's all good."
"actually, i think that it'd be more uncomfortable for you if i left." he feels his heart constrict at the sight and the knowledge that his words enlightened your composure. you take it upon yourself to start some light conversation, not wanting to disclose the reason you'd called him over in the first place just yet. your heart picks up pace, rivaling hyuck's own, and you can't help but think of the sheer likeliness of the luck you'd just encountered. just as you decided to brave up for once and not take advantage of your best friend setting you up on one too many blind dates that were just, too artificial for you, the boy whom you had taken a liking for had shown up before your eyes, breezing through those glass doors as if it were a sign for you to just take charge. 
"and i was telling him-"
"are you free friday?"
"what? oh, what?!"
"i'm asking if you're free friday."
"i- i mean yeah, i have practice at three, but i'm free afterwards."
"let's grab dinner together then."
"oh shoot, okay, like with the boys? 'cause i could ask them if they're down."
"no, i was hoping it could be just us. like a date."
"so, hold the fuck up, you're asking me out on a date?"
"yeah, why…? am i not allowed to do that? is going out on a date with me gonna break bro code or something?"
"n- no, nothing like that. it's just...you can't possibly be serious."
"oh, trust me, i'm dead serious."
"...holy shit, i'm in."
donghyuck fucks up big time at practice, his cheeks are way too hot and he's sweating gallons per second. his jaw is clenching and unclenching in hopes that the action might make him a little more attentive while on ice but instead, he finds his eyes roving over to your figure in the stands far more often than he'd like to admit. he thinks, no he hopes, that jeno is okay with the fact that you're not here for him but rather the 'boy on the team' he'd unknowingly referred to a few months back. hyuck knows, though, that renjun is definitely not okay with it, the aforementioned boy throwing just as many glares at hyuck as hyuck's many glances towards you.
practice is over long after he hoped it would be but you're patient and supportive nonetheless. his eyes crinkle and his smile widens as you sidle into him for warmth in the cool air of the ice rink. hyuck solves this by removing the hoodie from his own, accustomed body, and gently tugs it over your shivering one. he thinks he handles the wave of adoration that consumes him pretty well, even able to ease the corners of his lips down a tad bit. "you're cute," you pull at his cheeks and suddenly things are not so easy to handle. 
donghyuck does eventually get used to all the sneaky shit you pull just to get his ears red and shy smile blossoming, but he knows he'll never get used to the sight of you in the stands, adorning his spare 66 jersey with everything else fading, and fading further away until it's just you and him, and him and you.

Dirty Thoughts:
Bakugo x Reader ( Gender Neutral)
1412 Words
Author words : It’s my first time writting and English is not my mother tongue so please be indulgent with me ! If you have any suggestions on how I could do a better work I’ll gladly take them ! Ho another thing "🍑" is us the reader with no specific gender and I think that’s all, enjoy bye bye !
He really thought he was discrete about it. Checking you out while you were talking with your friend group.
Starting with your legs, your thighs then he would say it but your ass too,
Never initiating eye contact with you he would advert his eyes every time you start to talk to him, only glaring at you when you tried to make jokes. He likes you heck he does but being the Katsuki we know him to be hell never tell anyone about that, not wanting to be considered a simp or anything stupid like that.
As usual while begging with the Bakusquad his eyes would advert to you and once again started checking you out without your knowledge of course but hey careful he is watching ? But respectfully of course, he is kinda a gentleman after all. Mama didn’t raise a bad boy.
🛑: “And then i- bakubro you are staring ” Kirishima started
⚡️: “Like always~ ” it was Denki turn
💥: “ The fuck I’m not ! Why would I ? ”
👽:”You kinda are, you know Bakugo if you find them that attractive why won’t you tell them? Do you want me to do it ? “ Now it was Mina who playfully asked knowing perfectly what the angry blond réponse would be.
💥: “I told you I fucking don’t check them out! Why would I go and talk with them? Fucking extra….”
📦: “Yeah….if you continue like that they would probably think you hate them or something.”
👽: “They actually does, we kinda are friends and they told me about how this mister over there was hating them.”
💥: “I’m not! ! “ Bakugo shouted a little bit louder that he ented, gaining the scared looks of his classmate, your being one of them.
🛑: “Chill bro ! That’s what it looks like ! You know they’ll never love you that way right? Be careful, they are pretty popular, I heard this Shinsou in 1B came often to talk to them, I think he will ask them out soon…”
💥: “What? That Shinsou kid? Who’s not even in 1A? Why the fuck would they go out with him? Having low standar like that tch”
⚡️: “I think he is pretty cool!”
👽: “And cute!”
💥: “If you don’t shut up right now I’ll blow your asses up !”
⚡️: “Oops looks like Aizawa sense I just came, time for torture to start, try to stay concentrated baku~ku~gooooo”
💥: “The fuck do you mean?”
🛑👽⚡️📦: “Haha”
😪: For this assignment you’ll be working by pairs. I already made the groups you can’t change, the project is due in one week until then you will not have any other homework so put your all into it, you and your partner will practically live together from now on on for a week, that’s all class dismiss
Of course the pairs were wrote on the board and of course who do you think bakugo had been paired with ?
Mhh...hey..bakugo..San…
Why the fuck are you talking to me like I’m some fucking old man? Two bad words in the same sentence?
Classy bakugo classy
I’m sorry I ...u…
wait are you stuttering ? Okay he wouldn’t admit it but that? That is so freaking cute.
He could die right on the spot, why do you look like that? All uhhg he couldn’t quite point it but that is something that made him stares at with longer than he intended.
🍑: “Bakugo go San...bakugo San?”
💥: “What”
🍑: “You are..staring…”
💥: “I’m not ! And stop calling me that !”
🍑: “Yessir !”
💥: “Hun?”
🍑: “Sorry that was a joke… so hull for the project it’s friday today so the dorms are closed I would like to go in my house but my parents are inviting a lot a family this weekend so we pourrait pas concentrate sorry BUT we can go to the library if you want maybe ?”
💥: “No.”
🍑: “Hun? Why not ?”
💥: “To much people, all the extras are gonna be there, give me your phone
S-sure!
Here, I texted you my address, tomorrow ten don’t be late !”
🍑: “Yes! See you tomorrow… and he is gone … well ! At least he didn’t kill me”.
This night let’s say that Bakugo didn’t really sleep, try to understand him please, a young boy in this age and shape ? You? How crush was coming tomorrow and you’ll be staying in is house, in his room where his bed was? He watched enough adult movies to know what could happen and let’s say that the thought of you wearing only…well nothing was enough for him to lose all track of sleep.
While our angry boy was fighting his dirty thought you too couldn’t sleep but not for the same reasons. While he was excited you were scared I mean he didn’t like you right? He could scream at you, worst even, could he punch you?? You really hope not. And that’s how you two spent your first weekend Night, basically thinking about each other.
10.00 that’s exactly the hour you rang at Katsuki houses door.
🍑: “Hello Madame Bakugo I’m listener nice to meet you !”
👩‍🦳💥: “How you must be Katsuki’s classmate enter please ! Waaa you really are cute aren’t you ?”
🍑: “N-no I’m really not but thanks you, you too are really pretty mam!”
💥: “Oi! At least you are not late, come here let’s get to my room.”
🍑: “Sure! See you mam!”
👩‍🦳💥: “I’ll go get you some snacks !”
🍑: “Thank you very much !”
You two walked together to his room, installed yourselves and started to work.
After a few hours of hard work :
🍑” Bakugo… Bakugo…….BAKUGO!”
💥:“What??”
🍑: “I finished, and you are staring...again…”
💥: “I already told you I’m not, let me see!”
🍑: “ Soooo, is it good enough ?”
💥: “Not too bad, well that concludes today’s work.”
🍑“Yeah! ... I’m so tired …”
💥: “…. Lay down…”
🍑: “ What did you say? 👁👄👁”
💥: “I said lay down if you want... I’ll get you to the train’s station after.”
🍑: “On the floor??? 👀👀”
💥: “On the bed ! You are stupid aren’t you ??”
🍑: “W-w-w-what ? No I cannot I- ?!”
💥: “I will not touch you WTF! You said you were tired didn’t you??”
🍑: “... I did...ok but...are you going to lay with me…?”
💥: “I’m tired too ! I made almost all the work!”
🍑: “No you didn’t !”
You then proceed to lay on the bed with Katsuki.
Not gonna lie, your heart was kinda racing at the moment, Katsuki’s one probably too, but he wouldn’t ever admit it !
Fuck why are you facing him?? He tough you will look at the wall or somewhere else that way he could have spied on you in all discretion.
🍑: “Bakugo..?”
💥: “Yeah?”
🍑: “Do you hate me?”
💥: “….no.”
🍑: “Then why ...why you look at me like that? Everyday at school you always look at me, even when you think I can’t see you…”
💥: “...I wasn’t really discreet about it hun…”
🍑: “No haha”
💥: “You pretty”
🍑: “What??”
💥: “You heard me now go to sleep!”
🍑: “I cannot,not after that wtf bakugo ??”
💥: “Shhht I’m tired !”
🍑: “But ?”
💥: “Shhht…. Oi..”
🍑: “I thought I should sleep?”
💥: “Fuck it! Can I...touch you ?”
🍑: “Where??”
💥: “Your face…”
🍑: “Weird…”
💥: “Yes or no dumbass?”
🍑: “Haha go for it ! But...be nice please…”
💥: “Yeah...close your eyes.”
You then Proceed to do it slowly, you shut your eyes waiting for anything from bakugo. You feel him shift and then something on your cheek, his hand you suppose. After a little while something softer again were on your lips. He was kiss’ing you and that wasn’t a dream, he really was kissing you holy fuck !
🍑: “Katsuki…”
💥: “Fuck, don’t ever call me Bakugo again go it ?”
🍑: “Yeah…”
💥: “Promised ?”
🍑: “Promise.”
💥: “Good, now let’s get the fuck to sleep!”
🍑: “Haha yeah sure, did you set up the alarm ?”
💥: “Of course! Who you take Me for ?”
That’s weird, today Katsuki was soft, the complet opposition of how he is at school. Maybe he was in a good mood because you worked well today or maybe that was just for you. Anyway Too much question too little answer but all you wanted right now was to stay in his arms and freaking sleep!

“yuta.”
“bake up.”
Yuta groaned at the foreign force shaking him repeatedly. He moved, crashing his face further into the sheets, swatting the alien hands away from himself.
“wake up you horse!” this time yuta heard the gurgling voice a bit more clearly. Someone was trying to disturb his sleep. Staying on his stomach and titling his half body to face the uninvited guest, he made out a face that matched johnnys. His face fell flat on the mattress again until he realised what or whom he has seen! He jolted upright, squatting, to face johnny.
“what are you doing here.” He mumbled with eyes still closed, stretching his arms on the sheets.
“it’s 1p.m!why you still sleeping dude?” johnny’s exasperated voice sounded too loud to yuta’s morning self. Or afternoon!
“It’s m-” a long yawn stretched his mouth into an oval shape, that he didn’t mind covering “its my house. I’ll do whatever I want but what are you even doing here?” he completed quietly.
“why are you still sleeping. You weren’t even drunk. Get up and tell me where is y/n!”
“so you are not here for me!” yuta pouted at johnny before throwing himself on the bed again, covering himself with sheets.
“what the fuck yuta! You are not a baby and tell me where is she? Did you even drive her back?” johnny asked sternly, removing his layer of protection.
“the only thing I can assure is that I wanna sleep more. And about your big fat crush! She certainly came back with me but she was crying so I won’t be surprised if she left already.” As soon as yuta’s almost inaudible words reached johnny’s ears, he jogged outside the room, checking the lock of your room. He sighed in relief at the secured lock. You didn’t leave and he was glad.
Johnny noticed your movements when you signed those papers. He was cursing at himself for not interfering but not like it’d have made any difference! The best he could do was to make sure you were fine at the end. Regardless of the fact that your phone was switched off, he was trying it continuously since yesterday night. Countless phone calls and messages but all were futile. His anger on taeyong was just fuelling by your ignorance.
Annoyingly, he fisted his hair before going for yuta’s room again.
“is she in university right now?” he asked yuta, who was looking like a dead body with an open mouth.
“bloody hell nakamoto! Wake up!” he shouted at him, this time the sheets were tossed on the floor.
“johnny babes, just track her. Don’t shout at me. I didn’t do anything this time.”
“you seriously ate your ethics yuta. I’m not needed there so I’m staying until she’s back.” Johnny declared, making his way outside on the couches.
“not needed my ass john suh. Ate my ethics! Says the one who’s seducing his own sister-in-law.” He only muttered before drifting back into paradise.
johnny just sat there in front of the t.v, mindlessly waiting for you, unknown guilt corroding his mind and heart.
***************
Doyeon and mingi’s whispering felt like a hammer to your head. The incessant pounding was the result of some expensive alcohol and the stupid tears. If exams were not approaching in two weeks, you’d have stayed longer to sulk but their future was as important as yours and only one more week was left so you just sucked it up. Now you were eating the lunch brought by mingi while testing them for exam.
“civil laws suck.” Mingi exclaimed, hitting doyeon on the arm.
“no! your brain sucks.” Doyeon reiterated, poking his head with her pencil.
“wtf doyie! My brain is totally packed up to the brim. if you love it so much, then tell me the answer of question 6!” a smug smile made its way to mingi’s lips.
“what’s wrong with no.6 mingi?” you questioned, perplexed as there was no difficulty in the paper yet he was still looking here and there.
“umm. Non bis in idem! It’s not given anywhere. Right?” he hesitantly asked for he knew he was wrong, somewhere.
“what was the paper you wrote last time?” you tried not to unleash your anger on them, so you kept your voice as low as possible.
“double jeopardy!”
“and?”
“and?”
“what the heck mingi! Didn’t you mention the legal maxim of dj?”
“maybe not!”
“what kind of law student forgets about legal maxims duffus! Non bis in idem means double jeopardy.” You reprimanded him tiredly, not in the mood to put up much fight with him.
“sorry” he said, head hung low.
“don’t be mingi. I won’t gain anything from this. you need to study for yourself. now complete this before I give you a subjective test. Double prep is always good. Hurry up!”
A collective musical groan leaves them both, as they tend to their paper again, you drowning yourself in your own books.
*******************
Johnny and yuta were engrossed in a football match when you entered the hallway. Upon noticing you, johnny sighed in disbelief, before making his way to you.
“why is your phone switched off?” he fumed at you, hands on his waist as you poured water for yourself.
“It wasn’t charged so I left it here.” he knew he wasn’t doing his utmost in containing his irritation and your casual tone just took him off guard.
“you jus- you should have charged it dammit. I was fucking worried that something happened to you and what kind of girl travels without a phone these days!” his hand ruined his already messy hair as he ranted, the reason of which was beyond your understanding.
“it’s not that big of an issue besides I’m not clearly out of reach right!” you scoffed at him, pointing to your arm where the bracelet was hidden, under the sleeves. You didn’t mean to sound rude at his concern but his position was no better .You had every right to be querulous!
“i-you don’t understand. i just wanted a reply from you. it’s the least I deserve! Or don’t i?” his voice went down as his face lost the previous stern expression.
“I saw my phone only this morning and I was getting late so didn’t bother!” you shrugged your shoulders at him, making your way for the room.
“where are you going?” his voice rose a bit as he held onto your arm.
“in my room!” you replied, matter of factly.
“yeah! I thought you were going to greet your dear husband!” he joked, tilting his head towards the couches where yuta sat previously but he was not there anymore.
“I don’t wanna talk johnny!” you said curtly, jerking your hand away. But he was quicker as he pulled you into him, backing you into a counter.
“just leav-
“no tell me what’s the matter with you. what have I even done?” his voice was barely above a whisper, meant only to be heard by you. the rise and fall in his speech was already shaking your resolution.
“nothing! just turned a normal student into a deadly underground member. But it’s nothing big so yeah!” you replied, mock evident in your words. As you tried to leave again, his hands caught your waist as he picked you up, stationing you on the counter. He secured you against his body, restricting your movements. His hard orbs found yours as he hands tightened around your waist, making you gulp in the process. You stared back with same intensity, as if reading his next step. He lowered his front, demanding eyes never leaving yours,
“this is the first and last time I’ll be explaining myself. I don’t know a shit about why he did that. But those papers won’t be used against you. I won’t let that happen. Ever. I promise that with my life. Just have some faith in me” He whispered. Besides it being the precise validation you sought, suspicion couldn’t be helped!
“and why would you do that. Do you also have some hidden agen-
his lips felt soft as they collided with yours with urgent need to shut you up. You froze, so did he. The only movement in your control was of your hands that were tightly gripped to the counter. The silence in the air being tense, his lips stayed still and contrary to yours, his eyes were completely shut. Johnny’s light breaths fanned your upper lip as his chest heaved up and down. Neither of you made any effort to further it nor any to pull apart. Few more seconds passed and he finally detached himself, the bodies still connected. Your lashes fluttered as he palmed your left cheek, speaking in a low husky whisper.
“I promise. Just believe me and when I say taeyong won’t hurt you, I mean it. With all my heart. Can you trust me on this please?”
He was insisting yet pleading and you merely nodded, lowering your head. His delicate fingers brushed the line formed between your brows, smiling softly.
“you have nothing to worry about. with unparalleled record that we have! You ain’t getting rid of me anytime soon. Yeah?”
His breathy laugh tingled your insides and something like awe transformed his face as he felt the warmness of your cheeks under his hand.
“by any chance, are you flustered?” your face went blank at his shameless comment when he was the very reason for your current state.
“n-no!” you pushed him hard while standing straight. He staggered a bit, giggling uncontrollably at you.
“lying suits you y/n. just like your soulmate jaehyun.” You scrunched your nose at the mention.
“don’t talk about him! He’s so annoying, i’m gonna hang him upside down someday o-or turn him into a stew!”
“and feed him to yuta!” he completed. You gawked at him for a moment before joining him in his laughing session.
“there is food?” yuta entered the kitchen, dimming the commotion.
“not for you!” you snarked.
“we have food y/n?” it was johnny this time. you had almost forgot about the sandwiches that were now probably rotting in your bag. As realisation dawned, you hurriedly retrieved your bag from counter, opening the plastics from the sandwiches with a last hope to save them.
“do you know that you don’t have to be ramsey to stuff cucumber and tomatoes in a bread?” johnny shifted, taking the packages to heat them up.
“I was out of bread. So I just took the easy route.”
“lame excuse! Work better!”
“not everyone got time john!”
You strolled for your room, passing yuta in the way, totally missing the frown and cute smile on yuta and johnny respectively. Though yuta’s internals were screaming at him to open his shitty mouth, his main focus was on his empty stomach that was growling like never before.
“pass me one john!” he whisper yelled to johnny, purposely stretching the last word to satisfy himself.
“no! it’s her lunch or snack or whatever it is.” He warned, hiding the oven with his front.
“oh so you have turned a part time servant for her!” he spewed, crossing his arms against his chest.
“no dude. She’s actual-
he was about to tell yuta but he halted his train of words for he was not in the place to tell any of your secrets to anyone , especially yuta.
“she’s what? Your girlfriend?”
“I swear I’m gonna fry you someday!”
“whatever. Now give me a sandwich before she comes out. Hurry up!” yuta looked over johnny’s shoulders to count the stacked portion in the device.
“one, two-
“three. They are just three yuta! Fuck off.” Johnny knew throwing abuses wouldn’t work but hitting him with his shoulder wasn’t either! He glanced at yuta and he seriously looked miserable. Hungry miserable!
“come on-
“are you done john?” your voice echoed from the hall as you approached wearing your famous tank top and cotton shorts. Yuta cursed under his breath, opening the fridge to get himself something.
“here” johnny handed you the plate. He hit yuta’s arm to grab his attention who was practically trying to sit in the fridge.
“renjun and jaemin are cooking their special ramyeon. We’ll eat there, come on!”
“huh!” he excitedly passed johnny to pick his things up.
With yuta out of sight, his focus shifted again on you. “don’t you get sick after eating takeouts?”
“yup I do! My gut is not the healthiest one in the world. But I’ve fewer options and I do check their health certificates so no need to worry.” Your humorous reply didn’t get more than a shit face from him. He leaned again causing you to take a step backwards.
“your hair!” He pointed and you rolled your eyes like you’d see what was happening up there.
“what my hair?”
“umm. Nothing kiddo!” he said before ruffling your hair.
“aah. I’m not a kid johnny!” you shouted at him though he was just standing by your shoulder.
“oh yes you are!” he pouted dramatically and ran but not forgetting to throw a flying kiss your way. “charge your phone, I’ll call again.”
“eww!” you snapped your head to catch yuta standing behind, making faces at johnny who was standing at the front of hallway.
“oh come on you shit.”
At johnny’s comment , yuta just followed and you totally missed the way he scoffed at both of you.
****************
You were truly jumbled by johnny’s actions, innocent yet calculated. You had maintained your calm but he was aware that you were not blind towards his growing attraction. why didn’t you push him away! What was he aiming at? Questions, questions! From the very first day, all you have are questions with no concrete answers.
But Johnny was not the sole occupier of your worries, taeyong held a significant part of it. If what johnny said was true, if his intentions were not so malafide then he’d easily have skipped it. Despite johnny’s assurance, you couldn’t afford trusting him anymore. Not like you could protect yourself from losing anything but your walls would always be enclosed for him.
Your wandering mind was pulled back into reality by a message from your classmate. The date of thesis topic submission was moved to an earlier one, a week earlier to be specific. In reality, you were all starting it a few months earlier just so the pressure could be minimised but it instead felt like a strategy for your doom. You all were supposed to submit the topic and a little introduction even before the qualification exam! And obviously you were behind the so called ahead-of-time schedule. You could have wrote a ph.d worthy book on mafia and their ploys but sadly criminal law was not the option available for it. So that’s how you ended up in the small balcony, sitting on the cold floor, enjoying the evening cool breeze. Search results on both naver and google had varied from “50 best topics of dissertation in international law” to “how to know what is my area of interest?” but every try had gone to a blank page.
************
By late evening, you got bored of sitting in the balcony and room, so you decided to study with a change of setting and the only place available apart from your room was the hall. After computing various possibilities, you dragged the single seater towards the hall windows and angling the book on the window still, a much comfy makeshift study space was ready. With the newfound determination to complete the task at hand, your eyes browsed every means of information to stumble upon anything you missed earlier, ignoring the blue skies switching to the darker ones.
***********
Yuta noticed the way he was experiencing more fatigue as the days passed by. He never trained this much until he was suspended. He looked forward for it to end so he could feel the same thrill again but two weeks wouldn’t just pass in a blink! He claimed the basement as his new home trying to ignore the activities transpiring upstairs. The desire to stay with his dear roommate jungwoo was irrepressible but his ego didn’t allow him to give in so easily. He wanted to show his anger to taeyong and that was the only reason he found himself coming back to the new home more often.
He languidly passed the kitchen to use the washroom. Only when he was about to enter his room, he noticed the lightening in the kitchen and living room. He groaned at the thought of your imprudent habit of multiplying the electricity bill which eventually he had to pay! Or maybe you were just trying to instigate him! When he was about to put out the lights, he spotted the sofa and a pair of legs perched on the widow still. He took light steps to reach your sleeping figure and suddenly he felt his annoyance melting into astonishment. Your face was covered with the open, visibly heavy hardcover book whilst your half body was on the seat and half in the air with feet placed on the window still for balance that was clearly very very comfortable place for napping at midnight. unconsciously, his hand extended for the book and as he picked it up, you stirred. Panic took over him as he lost the hold leading the book to fell on your face instead. He ducked, cupping his mouth with both hands to stifle the laugh that was about to escape. Luckily you were dead to the world. Hearing no movement, he crawled for the room , getting up only when he was at a safe distance. Without wasting another moment, he did what he was there for in the first place and went to sleep, with a thumping heart that was probably due to the initial dread he felt or that’s what he thought!
**********
The bus stop being far away, you began the long trudge for neos’ house. Taeil had requested your presence two days ago , but being too busy with studying on the first few days of the week ,it was delayed. You’d have never accepted the offer if it was taeyong but taeil suggested you to take your time even though what he wanted to ask or said was important. His readiness to prioritise your convenience warmed you and it were the emotions of the moment that you agreed to him. And now the heat was burning your exposed legs and you were cursing his sweet tongue.
You knocked on the opened door to announce your arrival despite the fact that the main door had automatically detected you to lead you in. you stood there like a statue, moving your neck like an owl, waiting for an invitation but nothing. you banged it again only to hear someone’s cursing from inside.
“who the fuck knocks when it’s op-
A screeched scream met your ears as a man came into your sight. He abruptly started bowing, apologising profusely.
“I’m so sorry noona. I didn’t mean to! I’m sorry. This won’t happen again. I-
“hey, it’s totally fine. I didn’t even hear you in the first place.” You lied, saving him the mortification.
“can I come in?”
“this is your own place. You don’t need to ask or knock noona!” you entered as he gestured you to sit.
“can you call tae-
But before you could say it, he ran inside. You didn’t know or remembered his name but his face looked familiar. Maybe he was sicheng or hyuck or someone else cause you were sure you had met hyuck before!
“I was making coffee for taeil hyung. But he’s late so it’s yours now!” he exclaimed with his eye smile. it was cute and friendly.
“what was your name again?” you asked smiling back at him, noticing the little red on his neck.
“jeno.” He immediately settled on a seat, his focus fixed on you. “I’m making snacks. Do you wanna join?”
You chuckled at his innocent suggestion, “If you meant joining for eating, then I’m all in but if you want my help in actual process, then you’d die hungry today!”
“I’m aware of that but you are never late to learn anything right!”
“wow. Your enthusiasm is admirable but I don’t wanna burn your kitchen.” Your eyes were blessed with another series of his eye smile. it was contagious.
“you are here!” you saw taeil sprinting towards you.
“I’m sorry. I got caught up in the office.” His words came out breathy as he was still panting from the jog.
“no worries but I don’t have much time. I have to study for exams.”
“yes, studying is important.” He nodded before requesting jeno to get him the coffee and water, to which the boy grumpily complied.
“why the fuck is air con off! I’m gonna roast!” He whined and got up again to close the front door.
“now. I’ve two things to tell you or rather order you. you wanna eat first orr-
“no I’m fine really. Just tell me what taeyong ordered this time!” you had no doubt that it was taeyong’s doing.
“forget about that shit. Here, veto power is mine. JENO, STOP MELTING THE ICE AND GIVE ME SOME WATER!” he screamed at jeno who came out hurriedly with both water and coffee.
Jeno took a seat beside taeil but his one glare made him go back. Sighing in relief after quenching his thirst, he continued in a polite voice. “yuta told me about the card. Why didn’t you take it?”
“because I don’t want his money. I’m good with what I have. Besides every transaction related to him would lead me in trouble so why take the risk!” you sounded harsher than you intended but it wasn’t in your control anymore. Mention yuta and you’ll obviously bite!
“the account is already open. Yuta’s gonna transfer same amount of money every month so why don’t spend his money or better, give him a heart attack by paying everything with the card. He’s gonna pay and I promise, he has no say in this so he won’t even scold you!” he sounded quite cheerful which clearly indicated that none of them understood your language.
“no thanks taeil. staying away from his shadow is much safer.”
“shadow runs with the man y/n.”
“the man himself avoids me like a plague so it’s a win win here.”
“what you see is present. Nobody can ever escape a tomorrow! You are evading it today, but one day you’ll eventually face it.”
“I don’t speak quotes!”
“simple! You both collide only to cause harm to each other. For how long do you think this can work. You’ll get tired and I suppose he’d too. when you’ll stop to rest, you’d find him there but at that time you won’t have enough energy to fight off anymore. Placebo is deadly y/n!”
You absorbed his vague statement full of philosophy but your mind couldn’t harmonise with what he meant!
“honestly, I stopped hearing the moment you mentioned yuta so can we continue!”
“yeah sure. Take the card, keep it for emergencies and I’m not taking no anymore. You aren’t hearing me so I’m doing the same. and secondly, can you defend yourself?”
“defend from who exactly?”
“drunken bastards, thieves, goons or whoever comes at you with a knife!” you were puzzled at the sudden mention.
“my personality repels violence and I’ve two strong best friends.” You declared the obvious. The only drunkards you met were outside the clubs and you never went alone so the thought never crossed your mind.
“first is a lie and second is insignificant here. I need you to learn some basics so you won’t need anyone else or just to hold until help comes.”
“what the! Are you actually recruiting me or something? I don’t wanna be a party in your gang wars.” you announced, now clearly understanding what he meant in the first place.
“I’m not telling you to fight with us. You don’t have an ounce of brain do you? it’s for your own safety.”
“safety from what? I live in a rich and peaceful neighbourhood, my dear husband is a corporate of first class, I myself never even go for a simple stroll in a park then who would I even fight?”
“here ,we all are used to the danger that we face everyday. Each and every man you see here is able to dodge anything that comes their way but you.are.not. Just because they are acting like school kids with no care in life doesn’t mean they are any safer. Jeno was making coffee a few minutes ago but after dinner, he’d be going for protection fee collection with others. If shit goes down, you might not even see him again but we won’t let that happen in the first place. It’s not same with you though. god forbid if you attract the attention of wrong people for all the reasons you stated, then how are we going to help you. even if you press the bracelet , it’d take us some time to get there. till then what would you do? You can’t even probably run for more than a mile! can you?”
You just shook your head at him, too baffled to form any words.
“do you devote any time to exercise?”
“I walk enough I guess and some planks when my stomach is out too much.”
“you are no better than these boys seriously.” She rolled his eyes at your statement.
“but despite the exercise or whatever, my strength is nothing against jeno or johhny. I’ll never b-
“if you fail in strength , atleast you can be swift. Or better you can learn to handle a gun or a knife. When do you get free?”
So, that’s why he called you!
“I don’t have a minute to spare for the next 15 days. Prep and exams are more important for me.”
“no worries. We can start after that. But don’t remove the bracelet band under any condition. Some rival mafia has hired a contract killer for you. so run fast if you notice someone following you, press it and we’ll be there. till then just hang on.” Nervousness got hold of your senses as you heard his warning.
“you are fucking kidding right! was I being followe-
“yes, I’m kidding.” he chuckled dryly. “You should see your face. If it was outside the parameters of the room, you’d have passed out already. Panic only leads to death and I don’t want you to die. so do it just for my peace of mind.” You released the breath you were holding till now, feeling relaxed again.
You just nodded at his words. He sounded like some motivational speaker luring you into his lifetime guarantee program but you knew he was right somewhere. you couldn’t depend on the boys to save you from creeps for whole life.
he was good at reading minds, you thought but despite that you wanted to pour the coffee on his head for the heart attack he’d gave you a minute ago.
“it’s risk free and beneficial. What you say?”
“ok. but I don’t wanna spar with the 6 feet ones. I’ll rather learn from you.” it was your turn to cackle!
“we’ll see about that.” He rolled his eyes to the back at your obvious attempt of poking fun at his short stature
JENO, I DIDN’T ASK FOR A COLD COFFEE. MAKE ME A NEW ONE.”
********
Meeting with taeil had benefitted you in every way. The most useful presently was the topic of the thesis he randomly suggested you. “ effect and consequences of veto power in relation to international peace and human rights”.  even mr. kwang, your thesis mentor liked it as it was almost near original. Now you were just left with exams that were just a week away. Fortune was playing in your favour as yuta had been missing from past few days that saved you some extra energy and headaches that you got with his repulsive energy towards you. then there was your newfound love for the sofa that you had permanently dragged by the windows. It helped a lot in relaxing and studying and you ended up sleeping on it, nearly getting used to the cramped neck.
Unbeknownst to you, he did come back, daily. But you were just so occupied that you never noticed the slight shuffling in the midnight. it went on for days until you woke up with a blanket covering your bare legs, evidently not yours!
****************
How to start the finals? By getting wasted? No. certainly not. But birthdays are important, sometimes more than those stupid grades!
The venue for yeong’s b’day celebration was a night club, as expected from yugyeom! He need no reason to get drunk and when his s/o was herself cutting the chains, then it’s the finest deal one could get!
Loaded with university students, the party at the first floor was thundering. The hoots and roars of slightly drunk adults became deafening as soon as the cake was consumed.
“why your classmates are so fucking loud” you screamed in yeong’s ear. You both were seated at the corner on leather seats, drinking away the reality.
“with your dolphin voice, you are in no place to judge them bitch!”
“lets blame this on your drunkard mumbo jumbo!” she jumped in joy at your lame attempt, alcohol speaking out for you.
“btw where’s your boyfriend?” she questioned leaning into your ear.
“who?” you wondered who she was referring to.
“wonwoo! Who else dumbo. His whole army was invited by gyeom but I haven’t seen him yet!”
You just shrugged in response, not wanting to face him. The farther, the better. His possessiveness only elevated your fears. Now that you were bound on taeyong’s mercy, wonwoo would be calling for a danger by being with you, especially when you were incapable of returning his love.
But fate had some cruel plans stored for you. when you were ordering another drink, strong hands gripped your waist. Though beyond tipsy, the moment you touched the protective hold, you knew it was wonwoo. It was always him afterall.
“you could burn me while wearing white and I’d say thank you baby” He whispered, nibbling on your ear, shivers running down to your bare thighs at the sudden action. everyone knew how much you loved white and that’s why yeong had designed this short white satin dress which just screamed “you” and barely left anything to the imagination of the viewer. “and nothing turns me on more than your covered arms.” He continued as his fingers slowly traced the collarbones down to the cleavage, your drunken self melting into his chest. His hands worked swiftly and he guided you into a secluded part to drown the excessive noise. Your back hit a wall as his nose brushed against yours, his slender fingers siding your sling bag to hook at your hips. He bent into your lips, love filled kisses slowly smoothening into hungry ones. The taste he left on yours was of the infamous vodka that he sure had consumed in plenty of amount ,leading him to you. the pledge to keep yourself away from him broke down in figures as he rolled his hips into yours, lips syncing with the movements. His grip bruised your body, hunger lowering from lips to the bare neck. Throwing your head back, savouring his touch, you clutched his shoulders for some control. Scheduled moans became more filthy as his one hand gripped your thigh in a try to hike up your dress. He didn’t do much work as it was already climbing up your hips. A Single move and his fingers graced against your core, tingling sensation burning your whole body. The open mouthed kisses left marks on your cleavage and neck as he fingers fucked you mercilessly.
“I missed you so much baby.”  His wavering yet soft tone met your ears but everything seemed hazy as he drove in and out of you. you felt euphoria in your stomach hitting you once again as he rambled on. “ don’t ever leave me again. you are my only lu-luxury. Don’t you ever dare snatch away the only hope I have! I love you. i fucking love you!” his sped up his actions under the dress but before he could provide you the final pleasure, you came back to the reality he  had divorced you from. you didn’t love him and never would. To his disbelief, you separated yourself from his body, him staggering back with the push.
“wha-
“I don’t love you woo. This-
Your hands filled the space between you two.
“this was never about love. We need to stop. I don’t love you woo. And don’t expect anything better from me. We are over. This is over.”
Your drunken slurs made evident that though you were loaded, the senses were still intact somehow.
“no y/n. don’t do this to me. I’ll wait more if you want. A lifetime if you say. But don’t say you are done with us. I’d die without you.” his words rang like a bell as you attempted to corrected the panties and dress, waving slightly.
You jumped away from him as his words got registered in your head. Ignoring him completely, you turned to enter the blast again but his strong hold on your arm stopped you. you squirmed under him, requesting him to let you go but his confession never halted.
“let go of her wonwoo!” you circled to see jungkook standing there , anger clear in his eyes. “I am not gonna repeat.” Jungkook was indeed dangerous when he was boiling.
“why was he enough and NOT ME!” you shuddered at the raise in his voice as he jerked you away. Timely, jungkook caught you and instructed you to go inside to wait for him. And you complied but not completely.
you were hot, bothered, angry and helpless at the same time so you did what you felt like. It felt like eternity when jungkook found you gulping some shorts in the bar. His brain went haywire for he realised you would’ve reached your peak by now. He cautiously approached you, checking the level of warmness on your cheeks. You were gone and so was he.
“what did you do with woo?” you asked him in the delightfully lovable voice that he found nothing but scary. You acting cute meant it was end of the life for anyone who would witness it. He had tried to record you a few times before in the said condition but it never ended up well with the screen of his phone meeting your wrath everytime. He helplessly dragged you from the bar towards the parking area, ignoring your initial question and the urge to scold you for the whole ruckus with wonwoo.
“I’ll drop you home cutie” he exclaimed, checking the level.
“I’m no cutie! And what about minjunie. And I don’t wanna go with you. I wanna be alone.” He giggled as you pouted at him, a rare sight to behold.
“yeah yeah I know you wanna be alone and blah blah but its past 11 already -
“soooooo. The protocol shall be followed despite the severi-
“shut up! You are not in a class dude. N hurry up, I’ve to pick minjun’s drunk ass as well!”
The discontent in his tone was apparent while he showed you the way forward. continuously wrestling against his strong hands, he finally gave up when you almost tripped over nothing.  
“stop annoying me y/n!”
“am i?” you pouted at him. “I don’t wanna go with you. don’t you understand!” he rubbed his temples in desperation.
“fine I’ll call someone else. But you can’t go alone.” But as he was fishing out his phone, you were gone.
After five minutes he spotted you outside, waving for a taxi.
“why are you so difficult?” his words fell to deaf ears. Watching you continue your frolics, he thought about giving up as a scheme formed in his head. Stopping a taxi , he ushered you in the back seat, moving to talk to the driver instead.
“no you aren’t coming!” you cried, showing your head out of the window. He grabbed his hair in annoyance, narrowing his eyes at you, “I’m not coming with you my mother! Let me give the address to the driver or else you’ll end up nowhere.” He pleaded, clasping his hands, bowing at you.
You giggled pleasantly at his gesture, hands flailing at him. “I don’t live in campus. I’ll give you the address. Wait!” after searching for your phone, you showed him the address saved in the notes app. That indeed surprised him for he wasn’t aware that you changed but decided against asking you. if it was not your new address, it could be trusted enough to be safer as it was saved under “my home”. Commanding the driver with an extreme firmness, he went away. Even in the drunk state, you were sure to some extent that maybe car was not moving.
“let’s go uncle!”
“your friend told me to wait.” you threw your head back realising that kook was upto something. A loud horn heightened your senses as the car moved.
Asshole, you muttered, grasping that he was clearly following you.
***************
“bop bop!” an eternity has passed for you in a futile try of remembering the password. The digits were changing their positions, as you regarded them.
“bop bop!” you tried again, mumbling to yourself, not knowing that you were not even banging the door in the first place. Standing still in your intoxicated state, arms crossed, the daggers you were throwing at the door would give any passer by a food to laugh but unluckily, there was noone there.
Bobbing your head from side to side, you started walking down the corridor, coming back at the your own door every few minutes. Curiously you pressed random button near the keypad. It was a bell, that you didn’t noticed earlier.
“wh- noona! You are here!” it was jaemin. He hugged you tightly before letting you in.
“duh! I’m waiting from last ten years but you won’t open.” Another giggle let jaemin known that you were in inebriated state.
“you are drunk.” He whispered.
“shhhh” you said , throwing your heels.
With jelly legs, you wobbled to the kitchen, catching attention of each and every presence in the living room and there were many of them.
“oh hiya! Home tweet home.” You chanted, hands waving like the wipers of a car. Hyuck and mark greeted you while jaehyun just sat down again, shaking his head in disbelief. However yuta was stunned and hooked to his place. He saw you navigating to the fridge, dropping the bottle, picking it up again, gulping it down, jaemin snatching it from you, apparently for you own benefit.
Jaemin guided you for your room before you got distracted by yuta’s figure staring you down.
“moshi moshi. Don’t you have any Japanese to throw at me today.” Yuta heard jaemin and others snickering as you slurred, walking unsteadily to him. He simply rolled his eyes, waiting for you to complete your attack.
“oh hi hyuck. I heard you don’t change your underwear for years. Go and take a bath right now. Asap” the liquid jaehyun was drinking, came out as a spray from his nose at the insult. Everyone was laughing at your antics except yuta. He scanned you up and down, eyes fixating on the fresh hickies on your visible neck.
“and you moshi moshi. You a-act like an angry young man all the damn ti-time,” hiccups started in between, “ but answer me with your half braincell- what kind of criminal you are! Atleast hid your face while shooting people dude.”
Yuta’s jaw cletched at your use of words, tension rising in the room. His neutral face changed into an angry one as you went on and on, all while poking his chest with your forefinger. “and that knife of yours! What are you? a street goon who hires little kids to scan cctvs for the-
And your body lunged forward, head resting where your finger was, passed out. Yuta’s red eyes didn’t go unnoticed by anyone. Anger radiated his body as he removed hands from his pockets to push you off but mark scooped your sleeping figure in his arms, signalling jaemin to open the door. After finding the key in your purse, mark laid you on the bed, rolling you to the side as jaemin placed a pillow behind to save you from falling.
They arrived in the hall only to find yuta already waiting for them.
“what was the need to baby her? She’s an adult and got drunk at her own expense. Didn’-
“so what hyung? Why are you making it a big deal!” mark replied.
“she is the one who makes everything a big deal. Didn’t you just hear how she was just trash talking about you all! She never fucking leaves a chance to spit at my face that I am a criminal –
“that’s what we are! We are damn criminals and she doesn’t know anything about us”
“but she says it like we are not even humans-
“I don’t understand why are you always throwing her under the bus hyung! Drunk people speak shit and she was totally hammered. Just let it go! Your punishment is over after two days, don’t spoil your mood over something so silly.”
“you can’t ord-
“yes I can and will order you because I agree with her. You do own just a half braincell that is not letting you think properly. Now don’t you dare mention all this to her in the morning.” Several pairs of eyes wandered between yuta and mark as the air became more pressured.
“so you do admit she is in wrong here hmm”
“she was just acting with her pure conscious. She saw a man dying and went to police. Tae hyung just made sure that she isn’t leaving anytime soon. She is trapped with criminals. What else do you expect from her? I know exactly what you want.” Suddenly mark’s eyes softened as he went on.  “You are craving empathy hyung. This is what I have seen in your eyes from the first day. You want everyone to realise that you are also wounded. You don’t despise her in actual but just the sympathy that wasn’t given to you in the first place. Stop acting like a stone. While blaming her you shouldn’t be forgetting that it was supposed to be me. You filled my spot as the killer. It started with me-
“no ma-
“it all started coz I was dammit feeling too sleepy to finish that contract killer. It was supposed to be a sniper attack but you had to go instead-
“I forgot my cover mark. How are you the cause when the problem was my own stupidity in the first place!” yuta shouted, tense silence following. Mark smiled a bit at him before continuing.
“then why do you hate her so much. shouldn’t you be hating me for sending you there or yourself for being careless. We should be compromising, not her. Just stop fighting with running water.”
He quietly said before picking up his jacket, going out. Everyone took that as a cue for leaving as well. Nobody uttered anything. The house was empty but mark’s words echoed in the space for entirety of the night, squeezing yuta into the reality he wasn’t ready to face.
*************
Your head felt like it was carrying all the weight of the world. Light harmed your vision, footsteps made you dizzy as you treaded for the door. Kitchen was suddenly too far away, everything looking too large for the squinted eyes. Water and sugar! two things circled in your head like a mantra, only until you felt a sharp pain in your waist. You slightly cursed the counter for bumping into you and stepped further to get water. the water soothed only your throat, stomach still craved sugar so you placed the large bottle on the counter, returning to open the fridge.
Some shuffling around the corner woke up yuta, who was resting on the couch. It hasn’t been more than few hours that he finally let himself immersed into the dreamland. His night and half of the day was spent in unearthing the deep hole that mark had thrown him into. He got annoyed at himself for failing in reaching a conclusion that would led to mark being wrong and it was the result of this constant thought provoking activity that he was having a persistent headache. He grumbled at the stiff neck as he got up. 13:03. Another sound came from somewhere, stimulating his body to check. With droopy eyes, he noticed you. actually half of you as the other half was searching for gold in the fridge. The hiked up dress was enough to give a free show of your bare legs without any strain. The thought of you eating his food wiped up all the drowsiness, making him go to kitchen.
“its not your bedroom. Close it.” He criticised, yawns escaping simultaneously. You didn’t move for his voice didn’t reach you in the first place. He tsked at your lack of senses as he neared you. but as soon as your figure got larger, his body met the floor brutally, several groans of pain leaving him. You turned around at the noise to see yuta struggling as his knee hit the polished hardwood. His other hand went to the counter for some support but it slipped causing his elbow to hit the cabinet handle more violently. His shout of anguish striked through your sensitive ears, making you swear in irritation.
Your eyes slowly traced the liquid under his body to the top of the counter. the water bottle. It was tilted and empty by the time you noticed and the water was what made yuta slipped in first place.
“fuck it!” he growled, discomfort contorting his features.
Slowly he moved himself to the other side, bruised elbow secured in his hand, grunts exiting him. You knew you were fucked up as soon as his cold eyes fell upon you.
“I guess it’s my time to call taeyong.”

another note: at first i had written one paragraph in female, and i obviously had to change it, but i didn’t know how to change female volleyball team to something neutral, so i just created this miyagi under 18 volleyball group where you happened to play :))
Tumblr media
karasuno
– ok what happened is that you used to do volleyball, though not in highschool, but in a group, because you had forgotten to sign up for the club and when you realised, it was too late
– but uH
– well
– it happened that you had to stop playing it because of an injury on your first year of highschool (you were a second year)
– kiyoko knew you because her cousin was friends with you, and when she learned that you did know volleyball, she didn’t hesitate to ask you to join her and yachi
– so there you were, one month after recruiting you, you had developed friendships with everyone and the whole team adored you
– but they didn’t know about your habits, and the pants and jacket you wore everytime to the gym covered enough to not look suspicious
– so daichi didn’t think there would be a problem about organizing a trip to the beach
– at first you were going to turn the invitation, but the look yachi, hinata and noya gave you made you bit your inner cheek and say yes
– well, you could always stay under the umbrella and read something, and maybe even talk with tsukki or ennoshita
– the point is, you weren’t going to show your thighs, much less take a bath. and you didn’t have a problem! your body had no reserves of fat, which made your body not be able to preserve any heat
– i’m pretty sure i read that you can’t preserve heat in your body which makes you grow more hair somewhere but if i’m wrong please call me out
– if hinata or yamaguchi asked you why were you wearing long jeans, you could just tell them you hadn’t shaved that day
– your plan was going to be alright, you had it under control
– so the day arrived.
– you were in a hoodie and jeans, just like you planned
– i mean, it wasn’t even summer, the volleyball idiots just happened to be too warm to be able to go to the beach in may
– so there wasn’t anything odd
– or so you thought
“pfff are you going to make a sandman y/n?” asked tsukki
“oh, no i-”
“yeah y/n! it’s too hot to be wearing hoodies!”
“oi! let her wear what she wants” said daichi
– bless him tbh
– so you sat in your towel and started thinking
"you have it all under control” you muttered to yourself, not knowing ennoshita was listening
“what?” he asked
“oh, it’s nothing” you brushed off
“stupid! you almost discover yourself!” you scolded in your mind
– appart from that. no one seemed to know anything
– so you sent the thought to the back of your mind and took out a book
– ahh it was a nice day
– you hadn’t had to eat anything and the coke you had had earlier was enough to keep you up so you didn’t have to ingest anything else, and you hadn’t had any urges so your wounds from yesterday were already healing
– but
– somehow, the temperature started rising
– and, without thinking about it, you rolled your sleeves a bit up
– suga almost fainted when he saw, and ennoshita had to keep him from going there and lecture you
– you hadn’t noticed any of this so you kept reading
“we should see how y/n behaves and talk to her accordingly” told ennoshita to suga, who nodded
– when you realised you had rolled up your sleeves, showing your skinny arm and some of your wounds, you panicked. but no one had told you anything, and you knew that if anyone knew they would’ve told you anything, so you reminded yourself to be more careful
– oh, how wrong you were
“do you want some onigiri, y/n?” kageyama asked, handing you one. it smelled amazing, and you had to dig your nails on your palms before denying
“no thanks” you said with a smile
“but these were made by my mom!” said hinata “you have to try them out!”
– one bite didn’t hurt, did it?
“yes it does” you told yourself
– you shook your head and told them you were going on a walk
– hopefully they’d be too distracted on eating that they wouldn’t think about it too much
– and tsukki, of all people, asked if he could go with you. you didn’t want to leave suspicions so you accepted
– you didn’t know, but he had realised that the amount of food you ate was too little, even for him, and that sometimes you seemed to make faces when noya would drag you by the arm
– so when he saw the two moms of the team panicking over you, and your rolled up sleeves, he confirmed it
“ennoshita-san, sugawara-san, i’ve seen you’ve realised about y/n... habits” he said. ennoshita looking at him in surprise. “i was thinking about talking to them later, since they’ll probably run away as soon as the two simpletons bring the food”
“mmmm” nodded suga. “be careful though, we don’t really know about how far the situation has gone”
– so there he was, walking with you asking himself how to bring the topic
– you were thinking about what excuse to use if he happened to know, when you felt your legs fail and almost drop you
– this looks like a tsukki hc wtf i’m sorry hol on
– anyway so this guy ends up dragging you and saying things you can’t even focus on because you don’t have the energy
– hinata and noya panic and ask if you’re going to be okay
– daichi calms them while suga and asahi help you sit down
“what happened?” asks 
– you’re about to pull off an excuse when ennoshita talks lowly enough so only daichi suga asahi and you can hear
“can’t you see?” he says you think he’s disgusted but he’s actually worried and mad that no one had realised before “y/n isn’t okay, they haven’t eaten yet, and the wounds in their arms are affecting them
– you felt your tears appear
– suga tried comforting you by rubbing his hand in your back
“it’s okay, we’ll figure something out” he said
– then you started crying, and hinata panicked for the second time and ran to hug you
“i’m sorry i’m not enough” you said between sobs. you were frustrated with yourself and started to feel the urge to rip off the skin that had formed in your wounds
– both suga and daichi looked at you, while hinata hugged you tighter, as if you were going to leave
“what do you mean?” asked kageyama, he was behind asahi, who had been looking at you with pity
“i don’t want your pity” you thought, asahi smiled at you even though you probably had sent him a death glare
“i’m...” you started, but shut yourself as you didn’t know what to say.
“oi! y/n!” called tanaka, a bit harshly. daichi stiffened as he thought how tanaka was sometimes too brute with words “you’re beautiful as hell!” he said punching the air
“heck yeah!” said noya, jumping “you’re the most beautiful person i’ve seen!”
“y/n you’re so cute! when you enter the gym is like whaaaam and... uhhh” started hinata “and booooooom” he said flailing his hands around
– you laughed a bit
– daichi smiled relieved
– maybe the pair knew how to handle
– that day ended up you getting hugged by everyone and ennoshita staying with you while wathcing noya and hinata bully tsukki splashing water to him while yamaguchi screamed ‘tsukki!!!!’
“you know y/n,” he started. asahi was on your other side “you can always count on us” he said while smiling “you helped us getting back to volleyball, even though you were still on your club and probably thought some coward first years wouldn’t be worthy. i think we owe you that one” he said. you remembered that. he had stumbled across you, the intimidating first year setter who had saved the current Under 18 Miyagi prefecture Volleyball Club from lacking a setter, how you had heard sometimes. ah, you missed these times. you hadn’t entered the shit hole that was now, and your mood had always been bright.
– you smiled and muttered a “thank you”
– now, noya and tanaka keep track of you and how you’re feeling while ennoshita asks you how are you everytime your class ends, since you were in the same class.
– the third years now take turns to compliment you everyday. and i mean EVERY day
“hey y/n! you look very pretty today” says asahi while blushing. behind you, daichi and suga give him a thumbs up
“damn! these stats look really neat!” says hinata
“y/n was the one arranging them boke, of course they look neat” says kageyama
– everyday team hugs
– kiyoko hugs>>>>
– yachi ends up offering some of her food, but never complains nor pushes you if you’re not feeling like eating that day
– after a while, you start feeling way better, and even build up the courage to ask for help, which makes sugamama proud
– tanaka defo cries when you announce you’ll be visiting a therapist two days a week
– this turned to be ennoshita and tsukki hcs i’m so sorry-
nekoma
– so kuroo, being the eighty years old he is (and sometimes kind of a mom, even tho the official one is yaku), he always reminded everyone to eat their food and drink water, and being so persistent, he thought everyone took care of themselves, especially their precious manager that tora had been whipped by when he knew nekoma did in fact have a manager
– but oh, boy
– he didn’t know about your problems with food and how you punished yourself
– kenma already knew about it. he had found you in the gym bathroom when you were purging (ik the ones who purge are more tended to be bulimic, but i really didn’t know how to make this happen, sowwy) after eating for the first time in twenty hours a few months ago, but he had promised to not say anything as he knew these things weren’t to take lightly
– but he did check up on your mood and asked you if you felt better or worse than the day before
– he did in fact, felt bad about not being able to help you in any other way, but he genuinely didn’t know how to talk about it properly with you and he didn’t want to hit a nerve
– kuroo surprisingly hadn’t discovered anything, even though you weren’t the most secretive about it and he was quite intuitive in these topics
– until shinzen training camp
– the coaches had decided to pull a two weeks training camp, somehow, and, as always, your team was invited
– you weren’t worried, you had already gone through two years full of training camps and you were a pro at choosing the food at the cafeteria with the least calories, usually giving half of it to yukie
– the first week went alright. kenma kept sneaking to the sidelines to ask you how were you feeling that day, and yukie ate the halves of your food. so far, training camp was going quite well. you had had only felt a few urges you could perfectly satisfy by sinking your nails in your thighs, and brush it off as nervousness
– however, the second week was a complete disaster
– your thoughts hit you like the bus hit regina george, and ended up almost banging your head against the wall in order to shut down those feelings, and it only had been two hours since you had woken up
– as soon as lunch started, you felt like puking when you felt the smell of the food. not even the low calories noodles could shut the feeling
– so you ended up almost having a panick attack, which you were able to stop as soon as you felt the familiar numbness that had taken over your body countless times
– but you still ran away to calm yourself in a less crowded place
– the third years were worried. although they had been with you three years, they had never seen you run with such look in the face, and ended up sending kai to ask you, since they didn’t want to crowd and overwhelm you
“y/n?” asked while blushing because he was entering in the managers bathroom (bless him)
– he found you swinging yourself in the last bathroom, trying to block everything in your surroundings. there were tears in your eyes, now pressed and closed, and you were hugging yourself putting your forehead (which i wanna kith bc YOU DESERVE THE WORLD OKAY) against your knees and your face between your legs. you hadn’t seen him
– he didn’t move as he didn’t want to scare you, you seemed really really distressed, you were hyperventilating and rubbing your ahdns up your arms, trying to find some heat
– when you felt better, although you were still shaking, you saw him, smiling fondly in aim to ensure you that everything was going to be alright
“s-sorry...” you said, looking down. he looked at you like asking what were you talking about. “i... i uhhh... i ruined your lunch... sorry about that”
“oh! don’t worry about that y/n, how are you feeling right now?” he asked, he had crouched down to hug you and look at you, and was now rubbing the back of your hands in a really soothing way
“i don’t really know...” you said, lost
– and the other barged down but more lowkey
“y/n! are you okay? are you feeling alright?” asked yaku, looking at you worried
“yakkun” said kuroo, warning that he was in fact, acting out of his motherly instints and overwhelming you
– so you stayed there with them feeling more and more calmed until you built up the courage to get up and walk to the sink, where you splashed your face with water and let the cold of it relax you. you felt like you had to explain a few things, even though you had the feeling that they knew already
“i owe you guys an explanation” you said
“it’s okay y/n, you don’t owe us anything-”
“kuroo, i do” you said, sharply. you were familiar with them, and they had already seen you changning yourself (don’t even ask about this, it just happened in your first year when you hadn’t hit rock bottom and still felt alright with your body, so you hadn’t mind when the managers changing room was locked and you changed on the club room). but it didn’t mean they weren’t weirded out when you started pulling down your pants, showing them the scars and wounds that covered most of your skinny thighs. 
– they were confused, and then, when they connectted the dots, concern took over their faces
“y/n...” said yaku, hugging you. it was weird by the fact that your pants were down, but you really didn’t mind at this point.
“it’s alright” you said, but the tears streaming down your face again said otherwise
“how much has this been going on?” asked kuroo, not sounding with an angry tone, but more of a concerned one.
“um...” you rubbed the back of your neck “ i started feeling the urges in the middle of the second year...”
– yaku tightened the hug, warming you
“it’s okay, you can count on us” he said
– when you felt better, lunch had already ended, but kenma had kept a tray with a bit of everything for you in case you needed something, which you did, but didn’t want to eat.
– but the look in kuroo’s face and the warming hand that kai had placed in your back made you feel better and helped you push down the feeling of grossness, so you took a bit of a few things
– the third years stuck around you the rest of the week, sending smiles or reassurance everytime you felt negatively
– none of the first years know anything, but kuroo has imposed a rule of not talking about certain topics such as body types or calories, and yaku ripped the posters of girls in bikinis off the walls of the clubroom
– tora doesn’t know the full story, but he now praises you (as he should) and is more careful with what does he say
– kenma keeps asking you how are you doing, with the addition of fukunaga looking at you with platonic love eyes (i hope y’all know what i mean or ima end up embarrashing myself-)
– kuroo tells you facts about health that make you feel better
“y/n, did you know that stress can give you bad headaches? take a relax day today” says one time, that day, practice ends up early even though it’s saturday (usually the toughest days) and the whole team goes walking around the city (kenma and you pet a cat and lev get shit on by a pigeon)
– shibayama hugs you daily, to which lev joins and inuoka and tamahiko
– the team helps you when you start your medication, and don’t hesitate to sit you down and take your duties when you feel low and have to take a rest, and when you tell them they don’t need you, yaku says “but we want to” heroically, and hands the stack of papers to kuroo
 – aaa you (we) love them so much,,,
– hope i made you feel better! i’m still hesitant about some parts, but i wanted to finish it a soon as possible so i’d be able to post it hihi
– i’m still saying, if you need to talk or feel low, don’t doubt to dm me! i’m open about talking about anything, and i’d love to help in anything that’s possible 🥺. reminder too that you are loved and deserve to be happy, despite what you think! you’re beautiful and you don’t need anyone’s approval to feel as valid as the rest. you’ve got this! <3

Be Professional
PAIRING: Lucas Lee x Reader WORDS: 930 // head cannon SUMMARY: Lucas Lee was far too much of a flirt, until you decided to flip the tables WARNINGS: smut, dub-con (sort of), degradation (very light), unwanted sexual advances, swearing, bad pick up lines  A/N: This is my third submission for #shamelesshoesforchris challenge and I’m having SO much fun writing these! Thank you @navybrat817 and @stargazingfangirl18 for making such a great Challenge. I’m using the two prompts: Getting frisky with your boss and “Did you just... smack my ass?” I never see any fics with Lucas Lee, so I figure I would give him a try and show some love too. It was way too fun 
--------****--------
Lucas Lee
Professional skateboarder turned actor
Beloved by millions of fans
Lusted by all the genders
And one of the biggest douchebags in the history of films
If that was even possible
(The bar was set pretty high)
How did you know this?
You had the unfortunate job of being Lucas Lee's assistant. 
You had the sole job of placating every little need
Every insignificant whim
That the spoiled super star demanded of you
You stayed, because like so many people you needed a job
But more importantly, as a screenwriter, you were trying to break into the industry yourself
So you loved that you were able to gain access to producers and directors; people who could actually green light your script.
Plus the pay was pretty great, all things considered. 
You weren't forced to eat ramen, that's for sure
But still
With all those perks, Lucas expected a certain type of… gratitude from his assistant
Like being pleased as punch to track down a giraffe at 3 in the morning
In Chicago
Because he wanted to "tame a wild beast"
(Not sure how a docile herbivore was considered a wild beast but whatever)
Or when he had a craving for a shamrock shake in November 
(He was feeling in a "spring mood")
OR  
When he demanded that all of his clothing needed to be let out because of his "muscle growth"
It was your job to find a tailor in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, where you were on location
The man even wanted his t-shirts tailored
(Who the hell got t-shirts tailored???)
Through all the asinine requests, you've just gritted your teeth, slapped on a fake smile, and tried to indulge his childish whims
What really pissed you off though
Was his constant
And ever present need
To shamelessly and unabashedly flirt with you
And even though you had told him
Several times, in fact
That his advances are not professional
He just scoffs 
"I flirt with everyone, babe. You aren't special."
And okay
The man was a hoe
Like "probably needed therapy" hoe levels
Or at least a good antibiotic
But his flirting with you specifically seemed…
More personal?
For instance
He would leave your favorite flower on your laptop with a cheeky message
Or when he was yelling for you to get coffee for him at 5 am from Starbucks
"None of that gas station bullshit either"
He tells you to "get yourself something as well, sweety"
And the majority of the flirting was just stupid pick up lines that made you roll your eyes so hard you'd swear they would stick one of these days
"Are you Fred Flinstone? 'Cause I'll make your bed rock."
"Damn girl, can you stop being so full of yourself and try being full of me for a while."
"The FBI is trying to steal my penis. Can I hide it in you?"
But yesterday
He took it to a new level
He was following you up to his trailer to go over some changes in his schedule for the press tour
And he… WTF???
You whipped around, cheeks flushed
Eyes bugging out of your head in shock and anger
“Did you just...smack my ass?!”
A sly grin came across his face and he shrugged his shoulders
"Hand slipped babe."
That. Was. It. 
You yanked his shirt collar like a small child, scowl on your face, and drug him up the rest of the stairs to the trailer
You wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine but good
Throwing him against the opposite wall,
(He seemed shocked at the amount of force you were using) 
You stalked towards him, determination in your eyes
You pressed yourself against him and roughly palmed his crotch as well
Not missing the raging hard on already working in his jeans
"This what you want, Lucas? Big dumb man cant keep his hands to himself? Huh?"
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down and you weren't sure if there was fear or lust in his eyes
"You want me pawing all over you? I asked you a question."
"Y-yes." He sputtered.
"Not so tough now huh" you smirked wickedly, rubbing his erection through his jeans. 
He whimpered in response, back plastered to the wall, not sure what to do
You knew at this point, you were probably getting fired, so you might as well go full out
"I'm gonna make you apologize for smacking my ass, you dumb boy." You growled. "It's my ass. Not yours."
You crashed your mouth on top of his, lips opening, teeth clashing, tongues wrestling. 
If you weren't trying desperately to prove a point, you'd be so turned on right now
"Fuck... shit" Lucas spoke in between breaths, matching your ferocity as he wrapped his arms around you, humping his crotch against your hand
You kept up your torment, the other hand scratching at his neck.  
"Oh ga-ah… I'm gonna…"
And he stilted in your arms, moaning out and dropping his head on your shoulder. 
Your eyes snapped open
Wait. Did he just...
You felt the wetness on the palm of your hand
It had been less that 2 minutes and he had already come undone for you
Who knew Lucas Lee, "sex god", had zero stamina
You looked up at him, crimson on his face and a scowl on his lips
"Maybe you should remember this for your next assistant. Be a fuckin’ professional."
And with that, you twirled around and walked out the door
Leaving Lucas in his own cum drenched pants
--------****--------
I will post later with tags.

For Bakudeku event on Twitter
Modern AU setting. Santa/Elf prompt
It started with a stupid dare to take a picture with the Santa in the mall, and Katsuki Bakugou never backed down from a dare no matter how stupid or silly it was. And really, how could taking a picture hurt?
With his buddies watching on, the blonde trundled up to the Santa and sat on the man’s lap for the photo, glaring at his friends who were giving him the thumbs up. ‘Fuckers, if they even so much as think... to...’ his eyes land on Santa’s helper dressed like an elf. ‘Oh, wow...’
“Smile!” The young man prompting from behind the camera smiled brightly.
He looked to be their age from what Katsuki could see. Messy green hair stuck out from under an elf cap, costume matching the color of his hair and eyes for that matter, but the freckles... just adorable! Such a bright smile practically radiated happiness, oh, and how the man’s eyes crinkled at the corners, twinkling like the soft Christmas lights set up around the area. Katsuki’s heart skipped and he suddenly forgot where he was.
“Sir, you may wait on the side for your photo.”
Huh? Oh, right, the stupid photo dare. He didn’t even want it, yet walked over to the waiting area where his friends were standing.
“Bakubro,” Eijiro Kirishima, his best friend questioned, “you seem dazed, did the flash blind you or something?”
“What? Pfft, no, why?”
“You like, totally zoned out at the elf, that’s why.”
The amused tone in Eijiro’s voice wasn’t lost on the blonde. “So? I thought he looked weird.”
“Oh...”
“Oh?” Katsuki’s brow raises. “What the fuck did you think I was thinking?!”
Eijiro grinned wide. “That he’s cute.”
“I didn’t say that!” He gritted out. “Don’t be putting words in my mouth!”
Katsuki continued to deny his friends assertions, and was so caught up in the bickering, doesn’t hear the elf coming up behind him until Eijiro stopped mid-sentence to look past him.
“Sir, your photo.”
The chipper voice was like a melody to soothe a savage beast. Clearly the opposite of personality from the gruff and grumpy Katsuki. He turned quickly and took the white envelope with a curt thanks before immediately getting the hell out of there! His friends followed, laughing, at his expense, but screw them! It’s not like he had a chance anyway! The guy probably had a girl or boyfriend being such a cutie cinnamon roll. The longer he thought about it, the worst his mood became. Katsuki worked hard to hide his anxieties, which is why he rarely dated.
“Dude, come on,” Eijiro tried to stop him from leaving the mall so soon. “We were just kidding!”
“I’m fucking tired, so I’m going home!” To forget all about the cute little Santa’s helper.
Except he couldn’t..
And kept thinking about the man, even dreamt about him that night. When Katsuki woke up the next morning, tired from a restless sleep, he pulled up the mall information on his phone to see how long they’d be running the Santa’s workshop. Two more weeks, and the last day would be Christmas Eve. Great. Two weeks to figure out what to do.
‘This is madness...’ Katsuki thought as he stood around the corner just out of view. He’d been watching the elf work for a week now, desperate to learn more. Was he gay, straight, taken?! Please be gay and single. So far, he hasn’t seen anyone approach the elf, but then again, he is at work and they might not come to bother him at work. ‘Argh! What am I doing here?!’
It was lunch break for the elf, and Katsuki watched as he removed the costumes hat and grabbed his belongings to go to the food court. But just as he leaves the front, a girl walked up. The elf smiled wide, happy with a light blush on his cheeks as they hug. Katsuki deflates the longer he watches them chat, and the deeper the man’s cheeks turn red. Oh... this must be a girlfriend. He turned away unable to watch any longer. So be it. He knew the odds had been low, that this cinnamon roll would be taken. Smart people jump at such opportunities, yet look at him, stalking someone because he’d been too afraid to say anything.
Katsuki sucked back the tears. No! He’s not gonna cry! Wtf is wrong with him! His hands clench at his sides and head hangs low. Time to leave and move on, there’ll be others or maybe not. But like a glutton for punishment, Katsuki turned to look one more time, take one last look at the cute little green-haired elf whose smile had stolen his heart... and who was staring back at him?!
The girl is pointing and grinning in his direction. Why the fuck is she pointing?! Katsuki’s takes a tentative step backwards, maybe they thought he was stalking?! Okay, so he was, but that’s not good. Crap! Why is the elf walking towards him now?! He looked around in a panic, should he run? Yes! Katsuki takes off in the opposite direction. He hears the man calling after him.
Stop! Wait! Please stop!
Why is the elf pursuing him?! Is he gonna report him to security? The girl probably called and they’re on their way...
Mister cute blonde guy please stop running!!
Mister WHAT?!
Katsuki stopped dead in his tracks, completely shook by the man’s words, but apparently the elf hadn’t planned on the sudden reaction and barreled head long into Katsuki’s back, sending them both tumbling to the ground.
“Are you crazy?!”
“You’re the one who ran!”
Both men’s mouths clamp shut, face to face, eye to eye... Katsuki sucked in a breath, heaven help him the elf’s emerald pools with hints of gold flecks bore straight into his soul.
“Why’d you call me cute?” Katsuki sputtered out.
“Because,” the man averted his eyes. “You are.”
Katsuki growled at the loss of eye contact and pulled the man’s face back towards him. He knew then and there he wanted to stare into those hues for the rest of his life.
“I’m not really good at shit like this, but,” Katsuki’s voice lowered. “I think you’re really cute too.”
“Is that why you were watching me?”
The hope twinkling in the elf’s eyes from such a statement sent Katsuki’s heart into an explosion of warmth as if he’d had dynamite stored inside him all along. Is this what love at first sight meant?
“What’s your name elf boy?”
“Izuku.”
The man’s giggles sent more arrows through his heart. Yup he was done. “I’m Katsuki.”
“Mister Katsuki, could I have your number? Cause I gotta get back to work but I’d love to call you later.”
“Pfft cut the mister part and why are you working at such a silly place?”
“Oh,” Izuku grew sheepish, “I needed the extra money to buy Christmas gifts. I don’t have much since I’m still in college.”
“Like how much?”
“Um, I saw a pair of earrings I think my mom would like, so this last paycheck should give me enough for it.”
“A store in the mall?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Get up,” he pulled Izuku to his feet. “Let’s go get it.”
“Wait!” He pulled back. “I can’t afford it yet.”
“It’s for your mom, and I can.”
“N-no, I can’t except such a gift.”
“Look, Izuku my parents own the jewelry store here and—“
“You’re a Bakugou?!”
“Shh, don’t shout that shit! Just call me Santa.”
Izuku shook his head. “I can’t accept that, w-we just met and—“
“I won’t take no for an answer.” He tipped Izuku’s chin up. “The fact you care so much about your mom makes me like you even more. Just say you’ll be my boyfriend, that’s all I wanna hear.”
“You want me to be your boyfriend?” Izuku’s words wisp out. “Is this all a dream?”
Katsuki chuckled. “One that came true maybe. Look, if it makes you feel better, my mom will be so happy I have a boyfriend she’ll probably give you anything you want in the store.”
That brings a giggle back out of Izuku. “Mine will too. Okay.” He smiled and let pot a long exhale. “I’d love to be your boyfriend. But I really should go back to work, they need me—“
“Nope,” Katsuki takes his hand and starts walking towards the jewelry store. “No boyfriend of mine works as an elf.”
“But Kacchan,” he pouts, “I don’t wanna crush the kids dreams. Let me finish the shift at least.”
“Ugh, fine.” Katsuki grumbled though the smile never left his face. “Find me at the store when your done.”
“Okay!” Izuku beamed, kissing Katsuki’s cheek before rushing off to work.
Katsuki touched the warm spot left behind on his skin and smiled. This little green-haired elf was his perfect opposite in every way and everything about him made him smile. Maybe he should thank Eijiro for daring him that day...
Nah!

I'm legit curious how Steve and Bucky's last conversation went on. Steve's idea of making Sam the next captain and Bucky "well, I don't know him well but nice". Like, these two old man don't even thought in asking what Sam would think.
Also, what are your thoughts about that scene when they recovered the shield and Bucky throws the shield on the floor next to Sam. I got ?? like wtf man you are really imposing and implying something here. The next scene of them they already cleaned up the shield and Bucky was really upset and I not talking to Sam, I wonder if it was because after all happened Sam didn't seem to want the shield. And one more thing, when Bucky had a change of mind ? like, meeting Ayo and realizing that he's able to do the right thing and being forgiven is when he decided to visit Sam and apologize? I have so many thoughts and doubts 🧐🤯
Oh, great points (and sorry for taking forever to get back to you.) Hope it’s okay to post in public - if not, let me know and I’ll delete the post!
There are soooo many ways that conversation could go, right? Depending on how much time they spent talking, what Steve’s tone was, what Bucky’s headspace looked like... The possibilities are endless. And when the show starts, Bucky has been ignoring Sam’s texts, so???? It’s not a matter of “sometime off-screen Sam and Bucky became friends” - sure, maybe as Bucky became more depressed, he began to ignore Sam in a way he hadn’t before, but that doesn’t seem to be what happened. So I honestly have no idea. And if they had the time to discuss it, couldn’t they have spent half a sec saying “Hey, Sam, you want the shield?” I’m not asking them to spend a whole week discussing the finer details, but even just a heads up? It’s probably the result of the show trying to make sense of a scene that was awkwardly written in the movie due to pacing, but I hate it when I can’t make Watsonian sense out of weird Doylist decisions :/
Okay, so I went back and rewatched that part of the episode. I think part of why Bucky is a complete asshole in that scene (sorry Buck, but you were) is that I’m pretty sure - even if it’s Walker - fighting someone who has that shield probably triggers the hell outta Bucky’s PTSD, on top of generally messing with his unresolved Steve feelings. The other part is, I think, that he’s still thinking (especially because heat of the moment, etc) that Sam didn’t do a good enough job looking after the shield that Steve left him. Yeah, they took it back, but only after it’d been... desecrated is the word I’m looking for, I think. I think maybe it was something like “There you go, we got you the shield - make sure you hold on to it this time because you completely fucked this up and none of this would’ve happened if you’d just done as Steve told you and like I kept shouting at you to do”? Which is stupid and mean, but y’know. Emotions. Bucky’s track record with Sam hasn’t been exactly stellar.
Then what happens is, as far as I can tell, that Bucky only sticks around because the mission isn’t done. I find it pretty interesting that he’s... withdrawn but not as sulky as he could possibly be up until when Torres shows up. For me that shows he was already pretty on the edge and even just one half-stranger showing up was enough to make him want to Get The Hell Out Of The Room Immediately, Mission Be Damned. But then by the time he gets to Zemo, he seems bad-tempered but honestly pretty calm? Zemo tries to get to him and doesn’t manage to, which is maybe a first in the show, so while I don’t think he was in a good mood, I think by then enough time had passed that he had cooled off enough to be more rational about things.
And then it’s like... He messed up, but when he made things right, Ayo gave him a second chance. And I think something clicks in his brain that even if Sam messed up, he’s trying to make things right, so maybe Bucky should give him a second chance too. Asking Ayo a favor definitely seems to be a last second decision. No that he thought right then and there “hey, let’s get Sam vibranium gifts!!!” but maybe he had considered that before and this moment just made him decide to follow through with that idea.
By the time Bucky takes the suit/wings/whatever to Sam, he’s definitely had the time to sleep on it and I think that’s how he goes from “I can forgive Sam for messing up” to “Huh. Maybe I messed up,” because by the time he meets up with Sam to “drop this off” he seems... extremely convinced Sam is about to kick him out. There’s something very defensive, very ready for Sam to pick up their argument from earlier, y’know? He keeps checking if he’s still wanted there or if Sam wants him to leave, which is very unusual for Bucky “I’M COMING WITH YOU WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT” Barnes. I think he knows Sam would have every right to be mad at him.
Now what exactly made the lightbulb go off, I have no idea. My headcanon is that since he’s on speaking terms with Ayo, maybe they had a quick chat about it? He almost certainly didn’t go to Wakanda with her - he’s not welcome anymore - but it’s possible that they talked when she gave him the suit/wings/whatever? Bucky seems to have a tendency to work out things by talking (even if he’s bad at it), so I feel this is just a tiny bit more likely than him just staring at the ceiling Reflecting. Not that I think reflection didn’t happen - I think it did - but I think Bucky might have double checked with Ayo that he was on the right path, you know? That’s the headcanon I’m going with until canon contradicts me.
...this is probably 10 times longer than what you wanted, I’m so sorry, I’ll shut up now.

alright, I enjoyed episode 8, 6 and 7 were a little lackluster, but I did like 8 a lot actually, more than I thought I would 
anyways, see you next time for 9, 10 and 11!! (I’m pretty sure I saw ventress and kit fisto in the title image, so be prepared for major ass thots because i am very heavily attracted to one (1) assassin and one (1) fish man)

march 3/15/2021
im trying to read through tae kim’s grammar guide right now because i’m officially further in the nukemarine LLJ  memrise decks (there’s tae kim grammar guide sections in there) than i am in actually reading the grammar guide. And obviously these example sentences in the memrise deck would teach me more if i CLEARLY understood why they’re like how they are. which i... need to read the grammar guide section to understand lol.
my goal rn with japanese is? to get further in the nukemarine LLJ decks than i did last time. I’ve already mildly accomplished that (have done officially MORE of the tae kim section than before, have NOT redone the 190 common words i did last time i did this though). there are about 400 more cards in this tae kim section (LLJ 4) and then 1000ish cards in the common word section (LLJ 5). I would love to get them done. 
it would be sweet if i could get them done before April 22?/24? whenever Nier Replicant comes out because then I could play that baby in english and japanese! Then Nier Automata! ToT The Entire thing that kicked me back into wanting to study japanese was my old love for certain video games and desperately wanting to know what their stories/characters are like before translation/localization. So it would be cool if I could play them a little ;-; or at least check out lets plays. 
(which, checking out the kh2 lets play has been going pretty well so far... also that part where namine says “we aren’t meant to exist” and roxas says “how could you say such a thing? even if it were true” he says in japanese like “thats brutal/harsh to say. even if its true.” ...great to know that line is equally raw and heartbreaking in japanese lol. KH2′s localization did real good on like equal vibe to original just like ‘less nuanced’ if that makes sense. also thanks to the chinese hanzi i know now watching the KH2 lets play means i can figure out a lot of noun’s writing even though i don’t catch the pronunciation... also i’m catching a lot of words that mean like ‘beautiful/good’ as in like ‘great move’ and ‘dang’ lol.)
i had to stop myself from redoing the chinese flashcards i’ve done in the past! because i get ‘into a zone’ lol. And i really don’t need to waste time redoing those 2000 cards. i also needed to stop myself from doing the hsk 5-6 cards. because realistically? i know half of them, i should just set a lot to ‘ignore’ on the computer but im too lazy, and i’m learning a lot of vocab from reading right now. i don’t need hsk words to pass any test. The words i’m learning right now in reading are a lot more applicable to the actual shows i watch/things i listen to/things i read. its more useful to me to keep reading. and also to not sidetrack my japanese lol. i have read... 39 chapters this month... this month is only half over! hanshe is truly motivating ToT it also helps the story CONSTANTLY ends on cliffhangers so i keep clicking next chapter. who knows, maybe hanshe will help me kick up my reading speed. it already shaved off 10 minutes per 20 pages - now my 20 pages are down to 30 minutes to read, which is better than a few months ago. hanshe has 155 chapters so i HOPE it speeds up my reading lol.
hanshe is increasing my vocab though, its definitely noticeable over time. and hanshe has really good repetition of vocab which helps with learning and later the payoff means i never have to look up the word in future once its learned while it remains useful to me and i keep being reminded of it. after i get bored of hanshe OR i finish it, whichever comes first, its either back to a priest novel or into another pingxie fanfic written by hanshe’s author. The author did one fanfic that’s only 33 chapters so that would be NICE to do after this one lol ToT
summary of what’s turned out to be my studying methods this month:
Japanese:
reading through grammar guides (the one yue-muffin made and tae kim’s). so just grammar explanation reading.
doing nukemarine LLJ decks (in the ACTUAL order they are in the deck to completion - last time i did like 3 per time and never finished any lol. this is bolded because it’s the primary activity i’m prioritizing). so SRS flashcards. it’s working well right now because i can just put this activity in anytime i have downtime, like when i pause shows (since we know me i gotta take a break from a show every 20 minutes lol). i am bafflingly in a flashcard mood and i’m trying to take advantage of it while i got it. 
*when i feel like it: watching kh2 lets play. so some immersion where i look up words. (and when Nier Replicant remaster releases next month I’m likely to at least a tiny bit try to play it in japanese ToT lol we’ll see)
so grammar reading, srs flashcards covering some grammar/listening/reading/vocab, and some optional immersion.
(a note: i gave up on the japaneseaudiolessons for now because i got bored. its a great resource! i just don’t feel like it right now. and from an efficiency perspective, nukemarine LLJ decks cover vocab, grammar, audio, reading - so I don’t need another resource for that right now).
Chinese:
reading through hanshe. so immersion reading, intensive reading looking up unknown words. (unknown words are happening less so its getting less ‘intense’ lol)
listening to Chinese Spoonfed Audio. so listening to audio flashcards. for building up listening comprehension/repetition to pick up some more common words. (i’ve been doing this during daily walks making it much easier for me to consistently do, doing it mainly to supplement the Reading Heavy study i’m doing, i can drop this and pick it up later if i want since its mostly easy background listening)
*I am slowly rereading the grammar guide on www.chinese-grammar.com for explicit grammar clarification. but this is not a high priority, since I sort of implicitly understand a lot of this and i’m not working on fixing production mistakes yet. i just... miss knowing wtf is going on in the grammar lol.
*when i feel like it: Listening Reading The Glass Maiden/Love and Redemption Novel. I’ve done 2-3 hours of it this past week, but i don’t know when or if I’ll just stop. Thankfully l-r is beneficial somewhat even if i switch up books later. i WANT to L-R you have no idea (to Silent Reading and Guardian REALLY badly lol). But its so time intensive, and requires a lot of focus, and i have to really plan to do it for an hour at a time usually. I am so bad at doing stuff for that long consistently. I was in the mood earlier this week! ToT 
*when i feel like it: watching chinese shows raw. I was super in the mood this month because Word of Honor came out, and Killer and Healer came out, and Rattan came out, and I didn’t want to wait for subs. As a result I watched a LOT of raw episodes this month. However, english subs have caught up and since I’m lazy I’m inclined to just watch the subs - especially since youku ITSELF just put english subs on their most-ahead viewing schedule version of the eps on youku vip. so guess who’s buying youuku vip today? -3-)/ That said... even if I stop for a while, if Rattan subs move too slow I’ll probably watch those raw. And as SOON as 2ha’s drama Immortality drops I am highly likely to watch the raws for that since I likely won’t be able to wait. Watching shows is pretty highly dependent on how much I want to watch something and if subs take a while lol. 
so reading, and listening. and a little listening-reading method too. mainly just working on reading, listening, vocab acquisition. chinese is going good - for a few months now i’ve just had the plan ‘read often while looking up unknown words, and add some listening study activity when i have time.’ It’s simple, and its been working well.  later on down the road i’ll need some explicit grammar clarification again, but this is bare bones enough of a study plan at the moment. i’m clearly picking up words and phrases and hanzi at a reasonable pace. its not the Fastest obviously, but it is causing improvement over time and since i’m enjoying it i see no reason to change it up.
ending things
...who knows WHY i am so well focused this month with so much energy... tbh... i track how many chapters i read a month/audio i listen to/show episodes i watch etc, and this month is like as much as 3 other of my usual months combined. also my japanese has been basically ‘dabbling only’ prior to this month.
 although... maybe in part its how i’ve gotten better at reading hanshe? Reading being easier certainly motivates me TO read more. And watching shows was MUCH easier this month (still not ‘easy’ but following the main plot is) which definitely makes me Want to watch more. Also i am... unbelievably motivated by a challenge. I think i got it in my head that i ‘really want to do more of Nukemarine’s LLJ courses and see how much i understand after them’ and now... i really want them DONE. so maybe the current things motivating me will hold out for a while. 
(On the listening-reading front meanwhile, that activity takes SO much concentration its hard to do if i’m tired, BUT i have so many TRANSLATED novels i want to read recently and honestly its fun hearing the chinese narration and audiobook actors so like... i very much Want to do l-r so i can hear them as i read the translation... immovable object of me tired versus how much i’m interested in them lol ToT).
also thank u thank u @a-whump-muffin for sending me those lets plays because honestly it got me so excited again and its so cool to see them!!! <3 <3 and its so much easier to watch them versus committing to playing a whole game myself just yet ToT

idk if u care but crispin gray recently had an interview about his entire career and it kind of changed my perspective of queenadreena…idk if for better or for worse lol. it was weird to see him so dismissive of a lot of his catalogue w katie except for ‘love your money’ just because that was the only remotely chart successful song. i get you want to be able to sustain yourself but jeez him and katie really had a weird back and forth relationship
Sorry i'm replying late, i've seen the interview pop up on Youtube but honestly i was too invested in university shit recently & generally not in the good mood for that but i'm planning to watch. How did it change your view on Queen Adreena, did he say something mean specifically on QA or Katie? I mean i gotta watch it but honestly? Not surprised in the slightest. A few years ago he was asked to describe fave songs he recorded throughout the years and he listed more of Daisy Chainsaw ones than anything else, with Love Your Money as number 1. The differences in their points of view are real something, Katie Jane absolutely HATED Love Your Money, same as Daisy Chainsaw. Kinda apparent he wanted bigger fame but DC dropped fast and QA failed to live up to their predictions.
i had a time when i liked to dig up old Queen Adreena interviews that are lost in the old internet & generally not available for years (which i planned to post on is-she-suffering but my investment in that site is... varied in its intensity). Also that was back in the days when i wrote Queen Adreena book during manic phase and tried to sell it but lost motivation Well since i don't do anything with that knowledge anyway i'll put what i know here as i love fan discussions
So they sure had/have odd back and forth love-hate relationship & that's the reason why their career went how it went. There's been a huge tension between them at some point. I'm sure you know she had a major mental breakdown (probably schizophrenic episode) after Daisy Chainsaw, or even beginning before her leaving, and then she went into isolation and lived with an old woman in Lake District for awhile. She left Daisy Chainsaw cause Crispin didn't want her to come up with her own songs (all of DC was by Crispin except for Lovely ugly brutal world by KJ).
They almost split up as Queen Adreena after Drink Me. The material for The Butcher and The Butterfly was written at different times, originally it was meant to be called Atom Bomb at Bikini but it was constantly delaying and they eventually recorded everything they've got live. So that's obvious right? But i was surprised to find out they were writing songs separately. Some of them (i forgot which though) were written by Katie Jane and Pete Howard's sons band (they're even credited) + some with Melanie Garside, Richard Adams + some other musician. Katie Jane didn't like it. They intended it to be their last album at the time. She also hated live at ICA show but they released it cause they were broke
But that's a digression. I just wanna say that at this point they were done with each other but kept pushing it. Katie had her own art projects and stuff, Crispin started Dogbones with Nomi and i just remember how vaguely pissed at Katie he waas in the interviews. Like he stressed that Dogbones is his number one priority and if Katie wants to do something with Queenadreena, she must wait til Dogbones have a break first or something, and it sounded oddly bitter.
RaCH and Djinn era are just so weird, they had opportunities but let them go in a way. I don't think many people know but they were huge demand in Japan. They entered album charts and were interviewed by 11 magazines and 6 (!)TV stations there (wtf happened to that material i want to know???). But they only played 5 times or less.
Katie said she considers the band dead but they decided they can try to play for a couple more months. But aside from that she 100% lost the interest in the band around Djinn. There's an interview where she says "the overall image is Crispin but the shape will change again at rehearsals". And you can hear it, it’s more blues rock than anything. IMO it's their worst production wise. Instruments are fine but Katie's voice is so badly produced that sometimes i find some songs fucking irritating, cause they didn’t cut out her breaths and the vocals are TOO LOUD, to the point of distorting. As if she stands too close to the mic. The album is fine but it feels unfinished.
And here we come back to Crispin... here's what he said after the QA split:
Why the Dogbones started? “I needed to work more than the previous band I was in was working, the previous band who shall remain nameless, haha… um… Queenadreena. I wanted to work more than the singer of Queenadreena wanted to work… so that’s why it started. Fine by me… but I really like to be in a band, I’m not a solo project kind of guy. The last album (‘Djin’) did come out in the UK, but it was so low key because Katie kind of disappeared so there was little point in promoting it. Personally it’s my favourite by far so it was a shame but there you go… So here are Dogbones, it’s not been an easy ride but we are trying very hard.
Ok so the bitterness is kinda apparent isn't it. I think there were two reasons why they argued so much, first musical differences. Katie at some point lost interest in loud rock music for some years and went the folk way in Ruby Throat. I have a theory that Taxidermy and Drink Me are more influenced by Katie Jane and Butcher and Djinn are more Crispin. During first albums i think Katie more actively took part in music composition and choosing arrangements. She wrote lyrics, melodies but also composed a lot of songs on some little electronic keyboard thing and 4 track (Heavenly Surrender, Pray for me, My Silent Undoing, all Lalleshwari +more). Plus she wanted more peaceful/dreamy sound on Taxidermy than full on rock, Crispin complained about it in some 00's interview, that he'd like it to be more rock. Then there are 2 versions of Drink Me, the original has rough and alt versions of songs (it was sold by Katie and it's leaked on FB and probably YT). Crispin Gray apparently really hated the final Drink Me. Now next album is The Butcher & The Butterfly and it's more standard blues rock, no more crazy dreamy things of previous albums etc., Djinn is even more blues rock but darker. Djinn was his favourite at some point while KJ hated Butcher, not sure about Djinn. So i think they had different views on where they should go, Katie made her weird simplistic creepy tunes (like Lalleshwari) and folk melodies adding that strange things to noise rock. Crispin probably wanted blues & rock.
Other than that, i’m convinced they are bitter exes, lol. There’s been rumours about them dating during Daisy Chainsaw for years, plus Katie had a history of dating band members. Crispin wrote X-ing off the days about her. I don’t know if they dated again in Queen Adreena. Then there’s this interview, timeline is unclear, either The butcher & the butterfly or later:
„Katie writes all the songs herself and often looks for melodies and structure with the drummer. With Crispin - her husband or ex-husband, which is not entirely clear to me - for almost three years she has no longer been in a room. "Sometimes we send him a letter with a new song and that's all we can do. All we have are our lungs and our musical talent and we have to do with it. It is repugnant difficult life, I know most of the time how I should deal with it." But Queenadreena will still remain even exist? "I think so, we are now pretty busy and I see where the ship aground.”
I always wondered what exactly happened after Djinn, i’ve seen Katie Jane say „i think they gave up on me” while others said she disappeared. Other times CG said there’s no bad blood between them but at the same time there’s been some weird tension.  As of recent i thought they reconnected somehow through the internet and had a good relation but who really knows.s
I get why Crispin gets irritated when people compare everything he does to „stealing from KJ” but honestly, he gave them good reasons, at least in the 90’s. I can believe Starsha Lee singer isn’t copying Katie cause she’s from Brazil or something and she didn’t know Queen Adreena before. But everything else… Crispin’s problem is that he doesn’t know what he wants. He spent 90’s chasing something, tried singing himself, had girl singer replacements and even one KJ copy. Dogbones was ironically his most original non-Katie band, even with all their grunge influences. In a way he wants to be a frontman and at the same time doesn’t. Idk if he’s very controlling, but Daisy Chainsaw shows he valued his songs/lyrics first & in Queen Adreena he had to step back a lot, cause Katie’s condition was she would be in charge of the lyrics. I don’t think he realizes how strongly Daisy Chainsaw issues affected Katie, i mean from her own words you can read that aside from media attention/hate, her being unable to write lyrics had a role in her breakdown. I think she now let go but for years she hated remembering Daisy Chainsaw and she felt kind of worthless cause she was only somebody else’s mouthpiece. I’m not trying to say he’s cruel or anything, but i firmly believe rock lyrics writers should sing their own songs or else there are problems.
They both were writers-composers with different vision and i have impression they struggled a lot while shaping their songs, cause they both stuck to their ideas. Hence 2 versions of Princess Carwash maybe. Katie once said that he „gets terribly upset with her” cause she writes her songs on a simple wind organ and uses a few chord buttons only. Clash of writer ways/personalities/egos and at some point they had to let go.
Maybe he prefers music/bands where he was 100% in control including lyrics (note he wrote/sang some lyrics in Dogbones too). Daisy Chainsaw achieved bigger success US and UK wise as they were offered to play Top of The Pops, and they’re more well liked/remembered by „general alt public”. Queen Adreena however is way more valued as a cult band, with cult following and admiration in UK & France. Most people think Pretty Like Drugs and other QA songs are his best work and he probably finds it irritating cause truth is, he never managed to be more successful than Daisy Chainsaw/Queenadreena. Love Your Money is ironically the least Crispin Gray/DC/QA sounding song in my opinion. I kinda find it irritating that he downplays Queen Adreena cause it was probably his best work in this band but whatever
So yeah sorry for the word spill, that’s what i can think of it right now but as i said, i haven’t watched the interview yet, it’s just this kind of treatment is in a way consistent for him

BTS HC: Late Night Talks
Request: ‘Headcanon request! Late night talks with bts members, please 😊’
Notes at the end because I waffled on a bit 😅
These are all just phone calls as late night talks btw
__________________
RM
“Hey baby”
you know he’s just being a cute lil bun
in his ryan pyjamas
He's waited all day for this
his day consisted of like 5 anecdotes
but they’re all relevant to you
There’s no one else he’d rather tell about his day
He was tired
but now he’s wide awake
but in a good way
his excitement about talking to you improved his mood
and your voice gives him energy
Asks about your day after like half an hour
profusely apologising for making it all about him
even though it’s obviously fine
you can’t compete with his stories of his day
maybe it’s the way he delivers a story
but his life feels more interesting
but he’s just as interested in you
“tell me more”
any problems that day?
solved
gone
whoosh
he has such a soothing voice
like you don’t mean to be rude but
you’re falling asleep
because his voice is so therapeutic
“baby are you still there? am I boring you?”
and you’re like NO that’s not it
it’s a long week
but he gives you a motivation to get through it
“just think about when we'll get to see each other again”
and you do
you get warm on cold nights
because you’re less tense
and hopefully soon you’ll be warmer 
because he’ll be by your side at night
Tumblr media
Jin
“Hello there”
you can see his smile without it being a video call
Even though he may not have done much with his day
you just know he's looking damn fine anyway
Probably lounging in a formal white shirt just because
"How was your day?"
and you tell him it was average or boring or something
"I'm sure it wasn't just that... tell me about.................."
and suddenly you talk his ear off for like 15 minutes straight
even though you thought you didn't have anything to say
and you feel better for it
because Jin just has this way of getting you to speak
to let go of anything in your system that might be bugging you
or that you subconsciously wanted to share with someone
Has you laughing on the floor with just a simple story about his day
it might not have even happened
but the way he delivers the story hits just right and really tickles you
from
"I casually walked into the fridge today"
to
"I saw 2 birds doing it for the first time today"
and he tries to keep a straight face at his own story or joke
but in just a few seconds he's laughing with you
and that makes you feel warm
Almost as warm as you know you'll feel when you get to see him again
Tumblr media
Suga
Late evening is probably the time of day at which Shugs is the most awake
So when you have like a 3 hour long phone call with him, it's like the beginning of his day
like you really wake him up and give him energy
so when you hang up past midnight because you're too tired, he let's the call end but then just sits and contemplates life
and thinks about you
sorry, the actual call
He was struggling for ideas for a track all day
and then you phoned him
it might kind of feel like he's being ignorant when you're talking to him
but really, your voice and everything you say makes him feel inspired
"Yeah, uh huh, yep, wow really..."
it sounds insincere
but you've known him long enough now to know that's Yoongi at work
and he's really good at multitasking
"Are you listening to a word I said?"
and he says yes and can recall what you just said perfectly
all whilst adding layers to his piece inspired by you
Sometimes he makes himself stay away from that computer screen particularly when he is missing you the most
that's when he likes to indulge in your voice and virtual company
you'll tell him something about your day
he will say his day wasn't anywhere near as interesting so you should just keep talking
and you do
your voice and your stories send him to sleep because just you relax him so much
"Yoongi?" you ask softly
no reply
you hang up the phone knowing that he's drifted off
and it's the best night's sleep he's had in ages
Tumblr media
J-Hope
No matter how rubbish his day was
Hobi is always excited when you call
It doesn't matter how late it is
he's dancing around the living room before he picks up
and dancing whilst you talk to him
His neighbours on the floor below are like wtf is that unaware that the man above them is a dork
he makes up silly little jolly songs about you
at any other person, you'd cringe but with Hobi you can't wipe that big smile off your face
and then when he's used up most of his energy singing and dancing about you
he collapses on the couch and smiles at the sound of your voice
and then he falls asleep on the couch for a couple of hours with a smile on his face
Wakes up in the middle of the night feeling a bit empty
but happily takes himself to bed when he thinks about the next call he will have with you
Tumblr media
Jimin
His heart flutters at the sight of your name on his phone calling him
sometimes misses that first call panicking and getting himself ready
the rule of thumb is to be surrounded by cosy and fluffy and cuddly things when on a call with you
that way, when he gets those moments of missing you the most,
he can cuddle that big teddy bear
or rest his face on the fluffy pillow
it's obviously not quite the same as being in your company
but it helps a little.
You tell him about your day
and he can imagine every move you make when you're describing what you got up to
he's thinking about how if he was there, he would come up behind you for a cuddle whilst you're cooking
or how he would be watching that tv series with you on the sofa
and so on
basically he's softer than soft
Can be quiet at times
sometimes you think there's a signal issue
"Hello? Chim?"
"Oh, hello" he replies softly, realizing he's just been lost in listening to you
"I'm still here my love, I was just listening that's all, sorry"
and he's forgiven
but you do wish he would maybe talk a little more
you want to hear about his day
but you know he won't say unless you ask him because he never wants to come across as too self involved
"Jimin, I want to hear about your day; how was it?"
"Oh, really? Well..."
and then he takes a while to begin because he's smiling too much about you wanting to hear about his day
he worries his day wasn't interesting enough
"I'm sorry I'm boring you aren't I? I'll shut up now..."
"No, Jimin!"
"It's okay I've forgotten what I was saying"
A lot of these late night calls are the two of you going to and fro like this
but you still get to go to sleep with smiles on your faces
Tumblr media
V
"Jagiya!! Helloooo!!!"
"Tae, it's like 11pm, think about the neighbours!"
"Oops, sorry, I'm just excited to hear your voice"
Calls with Taehyung are a treat
he serenades you
ahh that deep voice is so soothing
you get to hear about his day
and then his little stories about the past that he accidentally goes off on a tangent with
"Wait, what was I talking about?"
You often give up within the first few minutes of the call to remind him that he has neighbours
it's not like it's disturbing your neighbours or anything
Sometimes he will talk about things you don't quite understand
but you just sit and listen because you just like to listen to him
then the game is up when you give the wrong kind of reply like "oh, absolutely"
"You haven't listened to a word I've said, have you?"
but he doesn't mind
he's pretending to be offended
he knows by now that you like his voice a lot
and he loves your voice too
Tumblr media
Jungkook
Nervous bean no matter how many calls you've had
anxious to see you again and doesn't want to wait the night / next few days / week
The late night calls are therapeutic to him
you can just relieve all of his worries with a simple conversation
Nervous bean then turns into a smiley bean
Beats around the bush a bit
will mention something he saw or did the other day
it was something that reminded him of you
but he's to shy to mention that
so he doesn't really come to any conclusion in his sentence
"Sorry guk, so what was your point?" you ask patiently
"Nah, it's lame..."
"Aww come on Jeongukkieeee"
"Fine..."
and then he just comes out with the sweetest things that make you melt
he worries it's too cheesy if he says something like
"I was watching (insert tv series here) and... I was sad that I wasn't watching it with you"
You love it when he comes out with little things like that
he doesn't say these things out loud anywhere near as often as he thinks them
but you know he really cares about you
and there's no one you'd rather be on the phone to late at night
Tumblr media
_________________
I'm back! I know I keep saying I am and then I'm not but since we're living in exceptional circumstances, I figured I could occupy myself with the blog again. Sorry to everyone that sent these requests like 2-3+ years ago, I am truly rubbish 😂
Anyways, I was scrolling through the requests and I figured this would be an appropriate scenario to make something out of. The late night talks are all phone calls since here in the UK we are on lockdown so I guess that made it easier for me to write.
Ngl, I felt quite rusty on the whole writing thing when making this but hopefully at least maybe one person will like it hahahah

Catharsis (Awase Yosetsu X Momo Yaoyorozu Short Story)
I stumbled onto some post talking about these two and their shared trauma, so I made this in response. Kinda forgot who it was but credit goes to him/her for the idea. 
–––
Awase Yosetsu sometimes wondered whether he was alone. Not literally, obviously: he had friends, family, and a school he felt he belonged to. More so, alone in his mind. Were his life experiences, and the way he reacted to them, unique? Has no one else suffered the same trauma he had? 
Logic dictated that the answer was a clear no. The Kamino Incident, more than a week ago, had been far more tragic than what he had went through. Hundreds of civillians, unaware of a police raid just a few kilometers down the road, had their lives taken away in a mere instant. He had been horrified to find out about that.
Still, as he lay awake at night staring at the ceiling of his dormitory, something he found doing more and more since the camp, he thought, Is it selfish of me to think that...that...was worse? 
He suppressed a shudder. Don’t think about it, he warned himself, forcing his mind away and to lighter subjects, like lunch today, where Monoma was karate-chopped by Kendo again, and everyone started laughing...
The whirring of the chainsaw grew louder; the wail of that abomination pierced his ears. He was getting slower. They were getting ––
“Stop!” He slapped himself, curling up underneath his blanket. He still could not forget it, no matter how hard he tried. 
Maybe I should schedule an appointment with Hound Dog...
No, he didn’t want to. It wasn’t...proper, for him to go for counselling. The school had offered it immediately after the disaster that was the camp, and he had taken one just to placate them. He went through the motions, nodding, talking a bit, smiling while he could. Perhaps the adrenaline somehow still kicked in, days after it. He might have still been in a shock then. But now...
The memories started to come back now to haunt him, to make him lose sleep, to make him unsettled. And it worked. 
So was he alone in this, or were the others equally affected? Worse? Less? 
Granted, the mood in the school was dim for the first few days, but the majority of the cohort seemed to return to their normalcy by the first week. But he...he could not. 
His thoughts drifted towards Yaoyorozu. Even though she had received the injury from that monster, she seemed to be faring better than him. From the few times they passed each other in the hallway, or at the canteen, she looked as chirpy as ever. She smiled at everyone, laughed at her friends’ jokes, and seemed totally unaffected by the incident. He presumed her studies had not taken a hit whatsoever. Still the top scorer of the cohort.
Great, guess I’ll be late again tomorrow, he sighed inwardly as he glanced at his watch, informing him that it was half past eleven.
He sat up and sunk his face into his hands. Maybe I should take a walk. 
Grabbing his shoes and track pants, he found himself at the ground floor of his dorms. Thanking the reasonable dorm rules that allowed for late-night jogs, he stepped out of the building. 
As he shut the door behind him, he turned around, and his face blanched. 
Yaoyorozu’s face stared back at him. She was in a running outfit as well. Her surprised disposition transformed into a smile. She waved, and Awase meekly waved back. 
Figuring that she was probably waiting for him, he quickened his pace to meet her in the middle of the road. 
“Yaoyorozu-san, hi. Didn’t expect to see you.” He mustered a smile.
“Same here, Yosetsu-san. I jog every night, so it’s the first time I’ve seen you this late. Are you jogging as well?” 
“Uh no, just taking a walk.”
“Sure! I’m fine with that too.”
Awase frantically waved his hands. “Oh, you really don’t have to...”
Her lips widened into a smile like the crescent moon above them. “No, but it’s fun to have someone to talk to. I’d prefer this than jogging alone.” 
Was she always this friendly and bubbly to everyone? Awase was astounded by her amiability. But he gave an affirming nod, and the two set off down the lane. 
They first chatted about schoolwork and friends, about the antics of the guys, which Yaoyorozu laughed at, charmingly. But Awase knew that the conversation would somehow lead to their near-death experience. To his surprise, it was Yaoyorozu who initiated it. 
“How are you holding up?” She asked. “After the camp, I mean.” 
Awase looked at the asphalt. “Good, I guess,” He replied evasively. “You?”
“Same, doing great.” Awase looked at her beaming expression, and his heart plummeted. She looks totally okay.
“Well,” she continued, “as great as I can be, since, y’know...” Her voice softened to a mouse’s squeak. “We were both there.”
The thought of the monster loomed over both of them, silencing the conversation for a moment. He glanced at her again. Her smile seemed less curved now, almost as if she was scared.
Of course she’s scared, idiot. She nearly died too, Awase scolded himself. 
“I...can’t sleep. It’s been difficult to,” He confessed towards the pavement. 
Yaoyorozu didn’t reply, and Awase was beginning to wonder if he had said it too softly when she said, “You too? That’s good.”
Awase looked at her, and her face reddened, though with the faint lamplight it was hard to see. “I mean, I don’t mean it that way! Just –” 
“I know, Yaoyorozu-san, don’t worry.” He chuckled, and she relaxed. Continuing, “I’m glad too. You looked...you looked really well in school.”
“Well, so did you. You looked quite happy with your friends, I thought you had gotten over it,” She said.
Me? Was there another Awase walking around? She really thought I was coping well?
“I – I’m surprised you thought that way,” He managed. “It’s been a horrible few weeks. I thought it might have showed.”
She shook her head adamantly. “Have you visited Hound Dog-sensei, Yosetsu-san?” She asked with evident concern. 
“Just once.”
Yaoyorozu frowned. “That’s not enough. I had to go at least thrice. Why don’t you?” 
“Because...” Awase trailed off. How do you explain this to a girl? 
He doubted the intelligence of Momo Yaoyorozu, because she read his mind. “Don’t tell him I told you this, but Bakugo-san went for a session too, you know.”
His jaw dropped. “Bakugo? But how...?”
She nodded. “We’re good friends, so please don’t tell anyone else. I only did so because there’s nothing wrong with a guy going for counselling, okay? As heroes, we’re bound to experience such things. Ah, sorry if I sound naggy!”
“No, it’s okay. I...I needed to hear that. Thank you, Yaoyorozu-san.”
“No problem.” 
They enjoyed a comfortable silence on the walk back. When they saw their dormitories close by, Yaoyorozu said, “Yosetsu-san? Can I give you my number?”
“Huh?” The question made him blink at her. 
“I’d like someone to talk to, if I want to. I know my classmates went through trauma of their own, but nothing really could compare to what we faced...I feel that they wouldn’t understand fully.”
Awase nods slowly. “Sure.” 
Some tapping on a screen later, and the two depart with a goodbye and a smile. Awase clambers onto his bed, and although the nightmarish thoughts don’t disappear as one would expect in a fantasy, he does sleep a little more sounder. That’s fine by him. 
I had more to talk about for these two, but as two schoolmates who just shared a near-death experience, opening their innermost thoughts on that basis with no prior meetings seems a bit rushed. Hope you liked it, and if anyone knows the person who started this, lemme know and I’ll credit them. 
P.S: Oh wait this ship is popular enough to be an autofilled tag? Well, I’ll be damned. I doubted you again, BNHA fandom. 
P.P.S wtf there’s a kodai x yaoyorozu? I thought I was the only madlad that wrote a fanfic on that. That’s 3 for fandom, 0 for me. Brb gonna AO3 this. If anyone has good fics on that niche ship, pls tell me. I’ll be very grateful
Update on kodai x yaoyorozu. I was swindled. There’s like one post apparently, even though I freaking tagged the fic I wrote on them, and it didn’t show up. So now I’m wondering how many jewels of posts are just concealed because of Tumblr’s shitty search engine.
