Y/N POV

I didn't see Matt for the rest of the day after that class, we never did since Calculus was our only shared period. The day seemed normal maybe a bit more boring than usual since a few of my friends weren't at school, but it was finally over.

Everyday after school I would walk from the sidewalk away from school, through a small forest path, and over to my house back on the sidewalk.

The forest was always eerie, but this time was far different. I heard soft cries as I walked through, the sun beaming through the trees. The cries grew closer as I approached.

I noticed the cries were coming from inside the forest, which I never dared to go through since I was always scared from horror stories. I felt terrible if I just left, but what if it was a trap?

I decided to slowly hide behind trees to follow the noise, once I got closer to the sound I squinted to find the reason. On top of a rock was a person

I recognized the clothing, my brain worked to figure out who I had seen with that clothing. til my eyes widened when I realized who

Matt.

I slowly tore my feet from the bushes and walked over slowly, not making much sound so I wouldn't scare him. Once I was right near him, I noticed his face shoved into his hands, his glasses on the ground with a crack through the left lense. His cries were soft, his button up was dirty, his hair was messy. I felt terrible, like my heart had dropped just seeing the image.

"Matt?" I said softly as I dropped my bookbag behind me right near his that had seemed throw and discarded.

His cries seemed to have hitched along with his breath, like he was embarrassed.

"Hey it's okay I'm not going to judge you, what happened?" I said in a shivery voice as I placed a hand to tear his hands off his face gently

"Wait please I don't want you to see me like this." He whined and tightly covered his face

"Come on I saw you earlier, it's okay Matt. I'm here for you" I said soothingly as I sat next to him on the large rock

"I look pathetic y/n" he mumbled with a break of his voice

"Please" I pleaded so I'd be able to try and comfort him

He sighed, his breath sounded shivery and panicked with anxiety as he tore his hands away and looked at the ground shamefully

I gently placed my hand under his chin to lift up his face, my face faltering as I brought his up, just to see his pained look and tearful face

"Matt.." I said in a pained voice as I cleaned off the tears from his face "Please tell me what happened, I can't leave you like this. Is it the same reason you were crying before?" I asked desperately

"Well n-no not fully" he spoke quietly "Uhm earlier it wasn't as bad." he sounded shameful

"What wasnt?" I asked with a head tilt and knitted eyebrows

"People. When you um left the class in calculus everyone looked at me like I was stupid, giving me glares and someone was talking about me and i heard it. they said i should've left instead of you, that nobody wanted me there if I couldn't even answer a simple question even though Mr. Robinson is easy on me." He explained

I nodded giving him my full attention "Don't listen to them, you just got caught by surprise, besides Mr. Robinson always goes for me, I would've been sent down by him today either way. Those kids are idiots don't take their looks to heart, their judgy highschoolers. So how did it get worse?" I swallowed harshly, preparing to hear the worst part

"Uh well, I was just walking in the hall and people kept staring at me, I felt like I couldn't walk or look anywhere without someone's eyes stabbing at me. People kept giggling and talking. Then some guy came up to me at the end of the day, saying to stay away from you, and that I'm pathetic for believing you would l-like me." He said in painful huffs of air

"What? why would they think that?" I said in shock

"Because he saw you walk me back to class after the bathroom thing, and he did that too." He pointed to the glasses on the ground

"How'd he.." I looked down at the broken glasses

"He grabbed them from my face and threw them to the ground before pushing me and leaving it on the ground. I tried to fixed the crack, but it just kept breaking." He looked down at his fingers again, picking up his hand to bite his finger nails

I quickly grabbed his hand to push it down "Hey don't do that alright? I'm here. Look he's pathetic, if anything. You're not pathetic at all. He seems like he was just jealous and everyone else is just stupid and nosy. I'm sorry about your glasses Matt, I can help you get new ones." I said as I slowly put my hand ontop of his

"Its okay, it's not your fault. I'm used to people staring and talking about me, but I don't know." He breathed out shallowly "I just didn't want to seem like an idiot to you."

"To me? Why?" I asked

"Because y/n you're smart, pretty, and really sweet to me for no reason, sometimes you stare and I get scared you're judging me but you're the only person that really talks to me other than my brothers." He explained

"Thank you Matty, but you're smart and equally as sweet. I never judge you I swear, I guess sometimes I just wondered why Mr. Robinson favored you and hated me, that's all. I would never make fun of you, I actually just wanted to get to know you.." My tone was nervous as I admitted my thoughts for the past time of calculus class.

"R-really you did?" His voice sounded shocked like he didn't expect it.

"Yeah, I mean it, I've always found you interesting, sorry if that sounds weird but I liked that you're not like everyone else."

Matt looked at me with puffy red eyes, which broke my heart even more

"Can I hug you?" he asked under his breath as he looked into my eyes

"Yeah of course" I smiled softly and got up. He got up right after me as I wrapped my arms loosely over his shoulders around his neck, he wrapped his arms around my waist respectfully.

"Thank you" he spoke in a whisper as he leaned his head onto my shoulders

"Always" I paused "Matt" I said in a breath as we let go slowly

"What is it?" he asked curiously, his voice becoming a bit louder

"Would you, um, want to hang out, maybe?" I asked shyly, I didn't know if he would reject me or find me crazy since we've barely talked til today

he smiled lightly "I'd like to, yeah" he replied

"Great, how's tomorrow after school, we can go to the beach if you'd like, it's getting warmer out." I offered as I slowly kneeled down and grabbed his glasses

"Mhm, yeah the beach is fine, thank you y/n" he blushed a bit which I noticed as I handed back the pair of glasses

"Maybe after we could get you a new pair" I giggled trying to lighten the mood more

he nodded before we hugged once more "I'll see you tomorrow then, thank you again y/n for everything."

"No worries, I'll always be here for you if you need, even if we aren't that close" I smiled as I walked over to get my bookbag

"Come on we live across the street from eachother, I'll walk home with you" I offered cheerfully

He walked over and put his backpack on, not even questioning that I knew we were neighbors.

"Alright" he said with a smile. I reached up to quickly fix his hair as he laughed while we walked back onto the path together to go home

The walk was enjoyable, he was sweet and we had a genuinely sweet and funny conversation til we split ways, waving and saying goodbye. I was excited for tomorrow, I honestly couldn't wait.

THIS PART WAS KIND OF SHIT BC I TOOK A BREAK AND HONESTLY GOT BORED OF THE SERIES SORRY. I just want to finish it for anyone that enjoys it, part 4 should come out this week if im in the mood for writing. I would make the series have a smut part but I still don't want to write any but maybe in the future I will

if anythings messed up it's bc it kept fucking giving me a hard time with shit and I dont wanna proofread bc honestly I cringed writing ts.

lead, part 1

pairing: jenna ortega x fem reader

a/n: I don't know how to work this, it's my first story on tumblr, i use wp and I found this story so interesting, so I wanted to try tumblr out, we'll see how this goes!

in which, you get paired as a lead with your crush, jenna ortega.

part 2

-

Theater.

That's where home is to the heart.

It's just so captivating. You never want to let go of it. You know you won't.

You want to do it forever when you're older.

It all started when you were in 6th grade, you can remember it like nothing could ever be forgotten. Your teacher told your class that you would be visiting the high school and experiencing their performance of Matilda. You sat in the second row, next to your friend as the shining lights began to dim and the chatters quieted.

You can just remember how captured you were in the performance. Part of it was the actors, the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors that worked together so perfectly. Your focus was on them, the setting, everything. But you knew that day, something changed.

You remember telling yourself,

You want to do that for the rest of my life.

You remember thinking of directing or acting whenever your parents asked what you wanted to be when you were older, those careers were one of the only ones that stuck each time. Sure you knew it wasn't going to be easy, but a part of you told you that this is what you wanted. That's why you were trying, even after every time you were told no.

So you applied, 9th grade year. You remember crying to your parents when they rejected the dream of acting.

You had never cried so hard more than how much you did that day. Even when you knew your parents weren't so supportive of your film future, you just..

You just wanted to try.

So you did. Then you got into advanced theater and that was all it took for your passion to grow.

You auditioned, you sang okay, you loved to act, you wanted to do everything with film.

–

Today was the day of terror.

Well you wouldn't say terror, more like the anticipation was killing you.

Middle of sophomore year, which was now, you had auditioned for the lead role. Before you only got ensembles or tech, well there was a reason, you never had the guts to audition for a lead role.

The whole day you were shaken up, biting your nails, your heartbeat quickening whenever you heard even a mention of the musical.

During your film elective, right before theater, you were nearly dying.

Not even taking in any of the teacher's words, they were translated into musical songs. You shouldn't be so excited or afraid, you were in theater already, you were certain to get at least one role.

Something was different though.

You wanted the lead.

"Nervous feelings for the theater, huh?" It was a soft, sing-song voice next to you.

You turned to see your classmate, Jenna.

She was a small brunette with pretty wavy dark brown hair and warm caramel eyes that you could drown in.

You couldn't tear your eyes off of her, she was so pretty.

You glanced at your shoes, "Yeah.. Yeah sure, I wouldn't say nervous though."

She laughed, looking at you for a moment, "You know, I was there when you auditioned, your vocals were on spot and your acting was captivating to say the least."

You broke into a small smile, "Well thanks Ortega. I'm not used to compliments, especially in theater. You auditioned for which part? I saw you practicing lines the other day."

Now it was Jenna's time to smile, she looked back at you, "Yeah, it was pretty quick, I auditioned for one of the lead's too, not your part though. I just went through my script real quick, I honestly feel that when I look at scripts once, it sticks to me."

You were going to respond but the bell for last period rang, it was the moment of truth.

You held your breath, exhaling a sigh after a moment and turned to Jenna.

"Well I think this does it, good luck then?"

She nods, grinning, "Goodluck y/n."

Wait a minute, isn't the only other lead role the love interest?

Now that you are in theater, with everyone talking, you decide to grab your headphones and click play on your spotify.

You eased, you shouldn't be so nervous but you were. If you didn't get the lead, it would show your talent and you would under look any of your true abilities in film. If you got the lead, it meant that all eyes were on you, you would be playing next to Jenna.

Your heart sang.

Lie.

Not a lie.

Stop!

Your legs bounced up and down as your classmates were waiting for your theater teacher's response for the cast of the musical.

Your teacher, Mrs. Jenn went around the classroom, almost all of your friends getting ensemble or background roles, could it be any worse? The small roles were taken by your much more talented friends, didn't that mean that you could get a small role too? Or was it just life telling your oblivious brain that you were going to get the lead?

The teacher turned to you, grabbing a card from her basket, and made eye contact, she smiled.

"I loved your audition y/n. You depicted and portrayed the part perfectly, you got the lead role along with.. Oh! Ms. Ortega! Congrats girls!" She clapped her hands together, "Alright team, rehearsals start after school starting next week on every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Let's wrap it up, I'll be handing you your scripts that we'll memorize in class."

Your stomach flipped, your heart was jumping out of it's chest, you got the lead you wanted!

That is what you wanted...

Right?

Then why is your heart beating so quickly?

Maybe it was knowing that the girl you developed puppy love for was going to play a love interest to you.

As Mrs. Jenn came up to you, she handed you a script that held lots of pages..

A specific page caught your eye, a scene where you and Jenna had to kiss, your eyes widen, nearly choking on nothing.

This was going to be a big problem..

[sugar-omi]

Step 2 confession. Do you ever think about how this must have looked like for their classmates? For them it would've been like, the two love-dorks that have been pining for each other for FIVE years suddenly return to school holding hands after just one random summer.

YEAH

like assuming the school goes up from grade school to middle, everyone knows abt your lil love story

and ofc they're all teasing you, which sucks for cove either way. bc if he's cold, he mainly sticks to you. and if he's warm/ in between, his other friends tease him for running to you.

omg... imagine you're in school, and you let him rest his head on your shoulder while you read a book or smth

if you're seen holding hands at any point.... it's an uproar OMG IMAGONE HOLDING HANDS UNDER THE DESK N SOMEONE BENDS DOWN TO PICK UP A PENCIL N HIT THE TABLE WHILE SCREAMING ABT U HOLDING HANDS.....

okay maybe ik I just had shitty teachers but I imagine some of the more bitter, evil teachers will try to keep you two apart. some will be like "its good for you! you should make friends!"

especially to cove, and puts the same pressure on you if you're nervous and reserved.

omg. imagine someone confesses to you or him, well if it's you cove is all "oh..." *twiddles thumbs*

he explodes when u tell him u said no bc you like someone else/are seeing someone (if you say boyfriend he screams n eventually hugs u to hide his face)

if it's him, he flounders ofc but he does say no and that he likes you very much. if they're persistent then eventually he yells that he's dating you.

yeah. no matter what he like snaps.. middle of class? lunch room? after-school pickup? yeah he'll say it in front of anyone n everyone somehow

OK im... not ngl I was just gonna agree w you n ramble a bit but I'm spiraling LOL

but imagine you get into high school, ofc some kids you knew will be there and eventually it'll spread around your high school as well

THERES PRBLY PICS TOO... say like during group songs or events, or group photos, etc. there's a 50/50 chance cove is looking at you, or you him.

omg imma have to make a whole post on school hc's... pls this is so juicy

OH MY GOD WHEN TEACHERS KNOW YOURE DATING...

"hey no handholding!" cove would jump 10ft and blush n hide his face

wrapping an arm around one another? a teacher is chastising you or pulling you apart (PLS I HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME, I CANT RMBR HER NAME BUT LISTEN HERE MS.PRINCIPAL YOU WERE FUCKING UP MY RIZZ!!!)

omg. cove tries to rizz you all the time, no matter how minor. he just wants to be close to you ok n sometimes he's not above a lil PDA he can't help it sometimes

I imagine you definitely get caught tryna kiss too. don't let it be by your classmates or a loud mouth teacher who rats u out in front of the students or other teachers YOU NEVER LIVE IT DOWN

bruh now I wanna go to school w cove.. I'd rizz him up so bad too, he'd have to walk to math class w a blush on his face and hearts popping off him bc you've given him the Fattest kiss or flirted w him all lunch n he's LOVING IT

GOOD LITTLE GIRL

sometimes it felt like you were in a completely different world than yungyu. others called him bad, but you could hardly believe that. everything inside of you wanted to figure him out.

DISTANT LANDS AND OTHER ADVENTURES series

PAIRING lee yungyu x fem!reader WC 2.3k TAGS classmates to lovers. school au. bad boy yungyu. minor cussing. OMI NOTE this might be one of my favorite things i've written.. ever? i'm so soft for gyu, and his bad boy persona honestly takes the cake i don't know. this plot kind of reminds me of 'she fell first, but he fell harder.' also i might've snuck a ddlc reference in here w my multifandom ass..

immortality is a concept that defines eternal life, incapability of dying. and while in your world it didn’t exist, word about him never died. there were always rumors, people telling you that getting involved with him would ruin the perfect idea of yourself. despite this, it only intrigued you more.

school was alway the main source of gossip and other immature problems, half of it being completely untrue. word spread like wild fire, even when it didn’t make sense. so why was everyone so sure that lee yungyu was this bad influence? there were times when it was best to stay behind and not involve yourself in the uproar.

though you couldn’t help but stare, unable to figure him out. the corner of his mouth crinkling whenever he smiled, how he’d always do a peace sign when posing for photos. for the most part, maybe it was less about figuring him out, and more about just admiring the boy.

a stupid class crush wasn’t something you’d admit to, he never talked to you; and your closest friends convinced you that you must’ve been a lucky one. 

but out of the corner of his eye, he always saw you staring. it wasn’t a secret to him that there was this odd curiosity peaking out of your skull. if anything, it was the final push to get him to talk to you.

it was an early morning, the trees outside were beginning to bloom this april. you always thought it was the prettiest time of the year, pink and white flowers littering the long branches. a lot of the time, arriving to classes early gave you a sense of responsibility.

the air was calm, and you could focus better on any assignments you might’ve missed the night before. there were a few stragglers here and there, making the classroom less empty on these occasions. yet you appreciated when it was just yourself.

today was no excuse. all of your things were sprawled out on your desk while you busied yourself in your notebooks. responding to questions that were left unanswered on your worksheets, planning out the rest of your day, and listening to the soft knocks on the door in front of you.

wait, knocks on the door in front of you?

the knob turned slowly as lee yungyu poked his head inside to search around. not a single teacher was in sight, though there was a cute girl sitting at one of the desks, staring at him wide eyed. his expression softened upon seeing you with all your stationary spread out.

he let himself in, letting the door quietly shut behind him. at first, you were confused why someone like him was in school at this hour. wasn’t being super late with some comedic timing apart of his whole brand? it was new, but you tried to act like you weren’t shocked.

resuming what you were originally doing, it was in your best attempt to ignore the boys presence. clicking the end of your pen, you continue to scribble nonsense on your paper. though it became almost impossible as you heard the sound of a chair dragging across the floor.

looking up from the desk, his dark eyes met yours. but in retrospect, he was nothing near intimidating up close. he sat himself down and smiled at you before he spoke.

“hi, you must be y/n, right?” your name flowed off his tongue perfectly, sending a small shiver down your spine.

“ah.. yes. you’re lee yungyu.” you respond shyly.

“oh? so you know me as well then.” yungyu smirked, crossing his arms atop the table.

“well, you’re nothing short of infamous in school.” you mention, making him quirk an eyebrow.

“word gets around too quickly here. the school year barely started.” he sighed, leaning back in his chair.

“there isn’t much else to expect from our classmates. i could only imagine what you’ve heard about me.” 

“i’ve heard nothing but good things.” he told you, “you’re too innocent to get yourself into any trouble.”

“what’s that supposed to mean?” you question.

“nothing! i was just saying.”

“right..”

“you know, we’re not strangers anymore. so how about friends?” he proposes out of the blue.

“huh? why so suddenly?” you tilt your head like a lost puppy, only earning a light laugh from him.

“i’ve seen you staring at me. it only made me more curious about you.” he admits, making your heart drop to your feet, “it’s cute.”

“cute..?” 

“i said what i said. so, friends?” 

“okay, friends.” you agree hesitantly, tapping your fingers on the desk.

“great. how about you come with me to yoonsung hyung’s party in the woods tonight and hang out? heard it was gonna be pretty cool.” he asks.

“yoonsung? as in student council yoonsung?”

“that’s him.”

“i didn’t think he threw parties like that.” you mumble, thinking about the responsible boy.

“are we talking about the same yoonsung? he loves planning things, and i’d like to say we’re pretty close.” he tells you, picking up one of your pencils.

“that’s interesting then.” you comment, “i didn’t know the two of you were friends.” 

“you must not have been stalking me hard enough then.” he jokes, drawing little stars on your notebook.

“hey!”

“i’m just teasing you. you don’t have to be so tense around me. though i am shocked you agreed to hang out with me.”

“i didn’t exactly agree to anything yet, yungyu.” you claim, erasing his stars.

“i know you’re going to say yes to me.” he looks at you intently, almost as if he’s trying to brainwash you into agreeing.

“maybe if i could get this work done by the end of the day.” you grumbled.

“boring. what are you working on anyways?” he picks up your paper to read the print, it was a rough draft of something you were writing.

“the writing homework we were assigned yesterday. i was just trying to finish it up but i haven’t liked what i’ve made so far.” you groan, snatching the paper out of his hands

“if you try so hard to make things perfect, you won’t make much progress. just write things down and fix it up later.”

“that.. that is actually pretty inspiring. aren’t you supposed to be some bad guy?”

“what did you want me to do? rip up your paper and tell you how shit of a job you were doing?” 

“okay, i didn’t mean it like that–”

“y/n!” a voice called out to you, sounding very obviously distressed.

two girls appeared in the classroom, sliding the door open with ease upon seeing you with yungyu. they look almost scared for you, and after the short conversation you’ve had with your new friend, you see no reason as to why. 

you glance back from your friends to him, and all he does is grin at you. ‘that’s my cue’ he mouths silently, barely peaking a whisper.

he sits up from his seat while the girls rush towards you. in the middle of this, he takes his hand and swipes your pencil pouch on the floor, watching as all the pastel highlighters and pen scatter on the floor.

“see you tonight, y/n.” he slings one of his backpack straps over his shoulder, leaving you with your friends.

“what were you doing hanging out with him?” one frowns, kneeling down to help pick up your things.

“if he was bothering you i can tell a teacher! he’s bad news..” another one whines, squeezing your cheeks to make sure you’re okay.

“i’m fine guys, don’t worry.” you mutter, sliding out of your chair to gather the remains of your materials on the floor.

“i hope you didn’t let him convince you to go to that party.”

“our y/nnie is too kind to turn someone down, but it’s for your own good..”

was all of this for your own good? their words were like knives, only deepening the cut of curiosity. everyone called him bad, but you could hardly believe that. the past thirty minutes were living proof that there was so much more to him.

regardless of their words, you felt determined to go with him to that party. there was a high chance it would help you figure out who he really was behind this twisted persona people made of him.

the forest was dark and empty, only a small beacon of light in the distance that you walked towards. there was no saying why you let a boy you had only met mere hours ago lead you through the towering trees. 

leaves crunched below your hesitant feet, the only evidence that a living body has been through these depths. the grip yungyu had on your hand was almost enough to be scared of him, but it was mostly reassuring. he just didn’t want to lose sight of you.

as the party grew near, sparkling string lights weaved their way through the branches. they glistened in your eyes like stars. the chatter of people grew more audible, and before you knew it, the scene overwhelmed you.

food, drinks, a boom box, and a multitude of your classmates all gathered to have a fun time. your first party didn’t seem as scary as your friends drawn it out to be, and his presence didn’t make it any less intimidating.

“this looks fun, come on.” he pointed out, taking you farther into the crowd. 

“there’s so many people here.” you add, making your way through the large group of party - goers.

“wouldn’t expect much less from yoonsung. he knows everybody.”

you replied with a nod, still holding onto his cold hand. there was a small spot amongst everyone in the middle, where you both stayed put. 

people were dancing along to the music, similar to the way the flowers swayed against the wind in the spring time. suddenly, he unlaced his fingers from yours and placed them on his shoulders, snaking his own around your waist.

“do you dance?” he says quiet enough only for you to hear.

“ahm.. not really, i’ve never been good at it.”

“then follow my lead.”

“oh– okay!” you stammered, making him giggle at your obedience.

“eager, aren’t we?” he mentioned casually, “you know that i’m bad, yet you’re spending the night with me.”

“you’re the one that invited me out, stupid.” you pout, looking away from him.

“but you still couldn’t keep your eyes off of me, could you?” his hold around you tightened, pulling you closer to him. a blush crawled its way across your face.

“it wasn’t even like that!”

“what do you want from my world anyways? you’re just a good little girl.”

“and you’re supposed to be a bad little boy? that’s what you act like, but i don’t buy a second of it.” you argue playfully, “and even if you were like that, why do you want to hang out with me?”

“jeez, picking a fight with me already? i’m bad, but definitely not little.” he bites his tongue.

“not a fight, just trying to figure you out.” you admit, letting your tone turn slightly serious.

“what’s there to know when everything you’ve heard about me is probably true anyways?” he scoffs.

“that you make girls run away sobbing? that you graffitied the principals car over break? that you used to be some kind of bully?” you reply, “or maybe do you have feelings like everyone else and just don’t know how to handle them?”

“god, that got deep.” he laughed nervously, “you might be the realest person i’ve ever met.”

“you’re not so bad, you know.”

“not so bad? you barely even scraped the surface, it’s not something i have to try at. you on the other hand..”

“i’m not trying to be bad, yungyu. i’m hanging out with you because you’re my friend now, right?”

“from stalkers to friends to lovers, sounds like some weird fanfiction.” he teases.

“when are you gonna let that go?!” you grumble, letting your head fall forward into his chest.

“i’ll let it go whenever we get to that last part.”

“pfft.. what…?” you try to play it off.

removing your head from the spot on his chest, he’s already peering down at you; glancing from the plump of your lips back to your eyes. he moves a hand to place on your crown, gently forcing your head to tilt upwards to look at him.

and from all the things you’ve heard about yungyu, the one true thing was that eye contact with him could kill. it made you squirm in your spot against him, feeling a weird tension in your soul.

“you have a thing for me, it’s kind of obvious.”

“oh my god don’t say that out loud! it’s already weird that i’m here with you” you squeal, covering his mouth with your palm.

“so you’re not denying it?” his words are muffled.

“why do you always say such confusing things?! i don’t know if i like you yungyu, we’ve barely been talking for a full day.” you take your hand away with furrowed eyebrows.

“you know, you influenced me to pay closer attention to you. i guess you could say it gave me the crushes, i just wanted to see if you’d admit you had them too.” he confessed.

“you’re crazy, gyu.”

“am i really, though?” he muttered, tilting your chin to angle himself inches away from you. 

it made you freeze up, a weird whirlwind of emotions floating throughout your stomach to make you sick. there weren’t enough synonyms for flustered that you could think of, but you didn’t pull away.

why didn’t you pull away?

the answer was that you couldn’t, after scrutinizing him for months, he was finally in front of you where you wanted him. and that made you realize how simple everything was, laid out perfectly after playing your cards right. 

he was a person, and people are weird. they’re compelled to do crazy shit, and yungyu wasn’t an exception, you understood this.

when you didn’t flinch, nor wiggle in an endeavor to escape, he closed the small gap between you two. it was only a few seconds, not a single person nearby paying any attention. but the spark you felt was so real.

“wanna admit it now?” he smiles, pulling away from the heat of your lips.

“in your dreams, lee yungyu.”

What The Hope Were You Doing? Mondo x Fem!S/O

Plot: You and Mondo are dating and in the same class. Your best friend is Nagito, and you are regularly roped into his bizarre schemes and plans. This time, the great plan to get everyone more time before an exam backfires horrendously and Mondo has to come to the rescue. Inspired by the anime where Nagito blows up the gym, but of course edited and changed up for the plot. (I do NOT condone bombing. This is purely fictional and meant to be harmless. Don't f*cking bomb a place just because you read about it in fanfiction.) -Mod Kokoro

Here you are, sitting in the middle of class and bored out of your mind. The teacher was going off about some subject you really didn't care about, and your boyfriend was asleep next to you. The subject was tiring and hardly anyone besides Taka and Kyoko could follow along. Come to think of it, you could skip and not miss anything crucial. That's when you got a text from your best friend, Nagito.

You pull out your phone to view the notification.

Nagito: Hey, I know I have no business disturbing an Ultimate like this, but I wanted to ask if you were available.

S/O: You're literally my best friend. Also, I am available. I wanted to sneak out class anyways. I can't pay attention to something so boring.

Nagito: Well you see, that's perfect. Do you want to meet me by the school gate?

S/O: Sure thing. On my way now. See you bestie.

You raised your hand.

"Yes S/O?" Your teacher called on you.

"May I use the restroom?"

"Of course."

With that, you excused yourself from the room to make your way downstairs and to the school gate, where your best friend waved you over.

"Hey S/O. Glad you could be here. I'll explain while we walk."

"Ah, I got it. You need my help in a plan for the sake of hope?"

"Exactly! I knew you'd figure that out. As expected of such a hopeful Ultimate!" He praised you.

"Aww you're too sweet. So, what're we doing this time?"

"Well, in my class, everyone is anxious about the next exam. I don't know how it is in yours, but everyone feels like they're not ready. Like they need more time."

You nodded. "Actually, my class is feeling anxious about it as well. They announced it so suddenly, we hardly have any time to prepare! I take it you have a solution?"

"Yes." He stopped to look at you with a dark look in his eyes.

"We're going to blow up the gym."

"W-WHAT?" You gasped, taken completely aback. You knew your best friend could be a little crazy sometimes, but this was something new.

"Yeah. I have a plan to blow up the gym. They'll be so focused on repairs, they'll have no choice but to suspend the exams."

"We are going to cause grievous property damage.... For an EXAM?"

"I want my classmates to succeed. That includes you. I don't want to see the symbols of hope succumb to despair. This has to be done."

He had a point. This was weighing down on everyone, and here you're presented a way to fix it. Most people would say "That's fucking stupid." And probably report it, but you knew Nagito. His luck helped him excel and succeed in nearly everything he set out to do, or got into. You could understand him, and empathize with him. You knew him like no one else did. So, after a deep breath, you answered.

"Alright. As long as we don't kill anyone, and nobody is harmed, then, I'm in."

His smile grew wide and he let out a laugh. "Oh it's beautiful! To see an Ultimate such as yourself agree to take on such a plan so hope may prevail! I'm truly honored to have the privilege of working with you."

"It's your idea, and I'm really agreeing because your my best friend and I trust you. I have 100% faith in you. I know how much hope means to you, and it's become important to me too."

"Mondo should consider himself lucky to be with such an outstandingly hopeful Ultimate! I bet he'd be so proud right now!"

Actually, if Mondo knew of this discussion, Nagito's face would have a fist in it and you'd be getting a LONG talk on how dangerous bombs are and all the trouble you could get into. Taka would even help him. But you don't tell him that.

"Ah, yeah let's actually keep this a secret between us. Don't wanna get arrested or sued for this."

"Haha, good point. But in case we do, I'm sure Fuyuhiko has connections to bail us out."

"True, but let's not chance it. If we can help it, of course. Hehe." You giggled. This actually sounds like an exciting project.

"Right. I don't want to get arrested either. Plus, your boyfriend might kill me if I got you into legal trouble. I wouldn't blame him either."

"Sooo, how are we gonna blow it up?" You asked with enthusiasm, finally getting pumped up for this insane plan of yours.

"Well, my pharmacist friend let's me roam around the cabinets with all her stuff. I already have everything we need to build the bombs. There's an abandoned warehouse not too far from here. It'll give us the space and privacy we need. I also got us some gloves, goggles, and other safety equipment."

"Awesome! Let's go! For hope!" You cheered.

"Yes! For hope!"

With that, you and Nagito made your way to the abandoned building and got to work. You put on your gloves and goggle and got to it. During which, you two talked about anything that came to mind, school, video games, anything really. But then you realized something. There was more that needed to be thought of.

"Wait so, how are we going to make sure it doesn't get traced back to us? I mean, they're going to investigate, and they'll see we don't have alibis. Also, how are we going to plant them and then set them off without getting caught in the blast?"

"Ah that, I'm actually going to just rely on my luck." Nagito laughed it off. Had this been anyone else, you'd be absolutely terrified. But, it was Nagito, and you've seen his luck be legitimate. You knew you could count on him, and trust his luck would protect you both.

So you shrugged. "Alright, that works for me."

"Wow, really? Most people don't like hearing when I say that."

"I'm not like most people. Plus, I know you well enough to believe in your luck. And you're my best friend. So, I trust you. If you say your luck will cover us and keep us safe, then I believe you wholeheartedly. I have no reason not to."

You could've sworn a tear rolled down his eye.

"Such hopeful, inspiring words of friendship! You fill me with so much hope!"

"Aww, I'm glad." You smiled at him.

Then, your phone started to buzz. At first you ignored it, but in a few minutes it started buzzing even more. Repeatedly.

"Hey I think you should check that. You should probably turn off notifications so you don't get distracted." Your friend suggested.

"Yeah you're right. Alright gimme a moment."

You opened your phone to find notifications from Mondo, Chihiro, Leon, and Taka.

Mondo: Hey babe. I heard you went to the bathroom a while ago and haven't come back. Teach sent Sayaka to check on you. She says you weren't there. What's going on?

Mondo: Babe? You there?

Mondo: I'm getting nervous. Please answer me.

Mondo: Chihiro just told me he saw you out the window a while ago to meet a friend and walk off. At least warn me before you skip. But where are you guys going?

Mondo: HELLO?????? I'M GETTING NERVOUS HERE?????

"Uh, hey S/O you alright?" Nagito noticed the guilty look on your face.

"It's my boyfriend. He's getting anxious and wants to know where I am."

"Just tell him you went to catch up with your bestie. You're technically not lying. If you feel bad omitting what we're doing, you can just tell him after the fact. I doubt he'd rat out his girlfriend."

"You're right. Alright hold up."

S/O: Hey love! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you texted me. Yeah, I'm with my best friend right now. I would've told you, but you were asleep and I didn't wanna wake you.

Mondo: I'm glad you're okay and you care about my sleep, but where are you two? You know I worry about your safety.

"He's asking where we are."

"Tell him you're helping me on an important project. Again, not a lie."

S/O: We just went to go help him on a really important science project. That's all.

Mondo: Okay. You want me to tell the teacher you threw up and decided to just head home?

S/O: Yeah that would be great actually. Thanks love.

Mondo: Np Sweetheart.

You decided to see what your other notifications are.

Leon: Don't tell him I sent this.

There was an attachment. A video of Mondo being anxious about where you were and asking if you were okay. He becomes progressively more anxious when there's no response from him texting you. It was cute, and it made you chuckle, but you still felt bad. Hopefully he won't find out about what this "science project" actually was.

Chihiro: Hey, S/O. Mondo is really worried about you. You don't really ever skip class and Yasuhiro is saying he's predicted you're in a dangerous situation. Can you please tell him you're fine?

S/O: Don't worry I just did.

Finally, Taka's texts.

Taka: S/O, skipping class is not welcome in a school environment. Sayaka has reported you aren't in the restroom like you said you'd be. After school I would like an explanation.

S/O: Well last time I checked getting people sick wasn't welcome in a school environment so I don't know what you want me to do here.

Taka: Yes, Mondo just told us you threw up. I am so sorry, please forgive what I said.

S/O: Don't worry I forgive you. Later!

You turned off your notifications after that to prevent further distraction.

"Alright, Mondo told them I wasn't feeling well and threw up. So I guess I'm covered."

"I knew we'd turn out fine." Your friend smiled.

You resumed building the explosives together.

"Finally! We're done. I'm thinking tomorrow morning, we'll get there early and plant them before school starts. We'll come back at normal time, blend in with everyone else, and they'll be set off just in time so no one enters." Nagito explained.

"Let's go a step further. I wanna place a DO NOT ENTER sign in front of the gym, just to make sure nobody goes inside." You suggested.

"Good idea. As expected of an Ultimate."

You and Nagito went home, him carrying the bags. You went to sleep anticipating the big day tomorrow.

The Next Morning.

Nagito came over at 5:30 A.M. You were both dressed in darker clothing to blend in with darkness in the closed school.

"Alright! Let's do this. For hope." Your friend grinned in wild anticipation.

"Yeah! Let's have a blast." You winked.

"Haha, that's a good one."

And so, you scaled the fence and made your way onto campus grounds. You snuck quietly over to where the gym was.

"You start planting them. I'll locate the DO NOT ENTER sign." You whispered.

"Good call. Come join me as soon you do that." Nagito whispered back.

You located the sign easily, and gently picked it up. You carried it outside the doors, and placed it. This will ensure nobody would blasted to smithereens. Afterwards, you rejoined Nagito.

"Here. Take these- gently. Place them over on the other side, make sure they're covered just enough to not be immediately noticeable, but enough exposure to completely tear this place apart."

"Got it captain." You saluted before you tiptoed your way over.

The bombs were finally placed, and it was time to go home.

"Okay, we got the hardest parts done. I've set them to go off at 7:35. That way, it'll be over before school can actually start, and we get to enjoy the beautiful display of hope we built." Nagito explained.

"Yeah, I like it. Plus, the gym doesn't officially open until 8:00. That plus the sign will guarantee nobody gets hurt or killed."

"And we have to act natural. We need to be as horrified as everyone else to avoid suspicion." He said.

"What? You mean we can't start dancing and cheering about it in the name of hope? Aw man, I was gonna get a boombox and everything!"

Nagito chuckled. "Perhaps we can have an after party at your place afterwards. Or mine. Maybe we'll get a baker to make your favorite cake and spell HOPE with the icing."

"Yup! I love it."

"We'll invite your boyfriend to join us. He might be weirded out, but that's okay."

"Let's invite all our classmates!"

"We're going to need a really big cake."

Before you knew it, you were home already.

"Hey, when does Mondo usually pick you up to take you both to school?" He asked.

"Typically at 7:15. So we'll be on time. It's a rather short drive."

"Ah, that works. Goodnight S/O. See you in a few hours."

"See you, bestie." You hugged him tightly before he left to go to his house.

At 7:15

You had already changed into your usual attire. You brought your bag, even though you wouldn't need it, simply to keep up appearances. Can't have anyone thinking you were involved with the soon to be big explosion.

Right on cue, your boyfriend had pulled into your driveway. You were so excited, you ran out the door before he could knock.

"Mondooooo!" You jumped into his arms.

"Woah! Hey babe, glad to see ya too." He caught you and held you close.

"You seem oddly happy to see me." He pressed a kiss to your forehead.

"I missed you! Helping Nagito with his science project took forever. We had to stay up to get it done."

"Man, for someone who's supposed to have ultimate luck, he's pretty unlucky to have to pull an all nighter."

"That's true, but it happens. Maybe he'll get an A+ so it cancels out." You felt guilty lying, but you'd fess up when the whole ordeal was done with. Just to him though.

"By the way, why didn't you tell someone sooner you were sick? Taka and I had to convince teach not to write ya up."

"Well, I hadn't thought of that excuse. I guess I was just too eager to get out of class."

"It's fine. You don't normally skip, so it's fine if you hadn't thought of a cover beforehand. Just ah, some warning would be nice. You know I tend to get nervous, especially when it comes to you."

"Awww!!" You reached up to kiss him.

"You're so sweet, love."

"Hey, I'm your boyfriend. It's my job to worry about ya and be all sweet and shit." Mondo blushed.

"Hey, is it true Yasuhiro predicted I was in danger?" Mondo tensed up. He took a sharp breath in.

"Yeah, he scared the fucking shit out of me. I know he's supposed to be 100% right 30% of the time, and regardless of the odds, something like that scares me. So I panicked a bit."

You knew Yasuhiro's predictions weren't far off, you had been handling bombs. But you weren't about to tell him that. At least not yet.

"Well, let's get to school." Mondo picked you up to place you on his bike. The two of you rode off on your way to school.

You were finally here. Mondo parked his bike, Taka, Leon, and Chihiro caught up with you. The five of you began your walk to school.

"Feeling better S/O?"

"Yeah! Much better. Thanks Chihiro."

"S/O, I printed a copy of my notes for you so you won't have to fall behind. Here!" Taka handed you them.

"Aww, thanks!" You placed them in your bag. Turns out it did have an actual use after all.

"You sure you're better?" Leon placed an arm on your forehead.

"She's fine Leon." Mondo responded.

"Good point. She seems more energetic now. Almost like.... She knows she has a super strong boyfriend to worry about her." You knew he was referencing the video he sent you of Mondo panicking. You giggled at that.

"Damn right she does." Mondo placed an arm around you.

You checked your watch. It was 7:29. 6 minutes until the gym was sent to be completely obliterated.

As your group kept walking, you saw Nagito up ahead. He seemed to be walking by himself.

"Hey Nagito!" Chihiro called out to him.

"Oh! You must be S/O's friends. And her boyfriend!" He greeted back.

"So this is your best friend S/O?" Leon asked.

"Yup! We've been besties since middle school." You answered back.

"Ah, I can remember the first time we met! It was just after we were kidnapped, we-"

"WHAAAAAAT?" Everyone except you and Nagito exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, KIDNAPPED? Oh my God, are you two okay?" Taka asked in bewilderment.

"What the FUCK?! Did I hear you right? KIDNAPPED?! Babe, why didn't you tell me this? I woulda beat the shit out of whoever the fuck kidnapped you!" Your boyfriend looked like he could kill a man right now.

"Ah, sorry Mondo. It wasn't some big secret, it just never sorta came up?" You laughed nervously.

"I kind of want to know what happened next." Chihiro muttered.

"Don't worry I'll tell you. So basically, we were trapped, and we formed a plan to escape. It was beautiful! Such hope, it shone so brightly it brought a tear to my eye! We knocked him out and took his phone to call the police. After that we were set free. We realized how much of a great team we could be when we set our hearts together, and we've been the best of friends since then!" Nagito told Chihiro the story.

"You know what, I'm just glad you're both alright. I mean, wow. That's a wild way to make a best friend." Leon spoke.

"I think we're all a little shocked." Chihiro replied.

"Babe, if this guy comes back, lemme know so I can bash his fuckin' skull in."

"I doubt we'll see him again, but if we do you'll be the first to know." You reassured him.

After answering some questions they had on that bombshell of a revelation, you guys made it in. Nagito had to go his own separate way to his class. It wasn't until you sat down, that it dawned on you.

The bombs hadn't gone off.

You checked your phone, 7:37. They should've blasted by now.

You quickly pulled out your phone.

S/O: Hey, Nagito? How's the science project?

You decided to speak in code. Just in case the plan was discovered and completely foiled.

Nagito: It's just my luck, I lost a key component. I think something fell when we walked by the gym. I'm on my way to get it now.

S/O: Need me to come help rebuild it?

Nagito: Yes.

S/O: Coming.

You wanted to bolt out and run to the gym, but not without someone noticing. You raised your hand.

"Yes S/O?"

"M-May I use the restroom?"

"Oh dear, are you still sick?"

"I-I don't know, but I need to go."

"Very well. But if you have to leave campus, please inform me this time."

"I will." You got up and ran, not caring what anyone thought.

You had to get to the gym. Something was wrong with the bombs.

But as you were running there to meet Nagito, you missed an interaction in class.

Toko raised her hand.

"Yes Toko?"

"S-S/O w-was texting class."

"What do you mean?"

"I-I saw on her p-phone. She's actually going to the gym. Her friend wants to meet her there."

Taka spoke up. "But the gym has a DO NOT ENTER sign in front of it! Students aren't allowed in until 8:00!"

Toko shrugged. "Who knows. That Nagito guy is a freak. I heard from his other classmates he goes off on rants about hope and despair all the time, and he's always up to no good. Maybe this time he's involved S/O. Those t-two are probably meeting a-at the gym to blow it up." Yet, she didn't know how accurate that last sentence was.

"HEY! S/O isn't violent. She's my girlfriend, for crying out loud I know her good enough to say she wouldn't ever get involved in any of that crazy shit! If she says she's not feeling well, then she isn't feeling well!" Mondo defended you.

"But... When I checked on her, she wasn't there." Sayaka responded.

Mondo knew you had skipped before, and he doesn't know why you're skipping again already, or even if you are skipping.

"Well how about this." The teacher spoke up.

"Mondo, Taka, Leon and Chihiro. You four are who S/O regularly hangs out with. I want you four to do a thorough search of the gym's perimeter. Sayaka and Toko, search the girl's bathroom. She should be in either of those locations. I don't have an actual assignment planned besides review for the exam, so it isn't an issue to send out that many people."

Everyone agreed, and so the search begins.

Back to you. You found Nagito at the gym entrance.

"*huff* Okay. *huff* What's the plan now?" You panted out.

"We're going to sneak back inside and carefully inspect the bombs to see what went wrong." You followed him as he began to open the door.

"S/O? HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?" Oh no. That voice. Taka.

You turned around, in the distance was Taka, Mondo, Leon, and Chihiro running towards you.

"SHIT!" Nagito exclaimed. He grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you inside immediately.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK!" He shouted, trying to get under control.

"Nagito, we can't let them in!" You whispered.

He grabbed some boxes and began pushing them in front of the door. You quickly joined him in barricading the door.

"Okay, I think that's heavy enough to keep them out. Let's check on the bombs. And quick." Nagito was beginning to sweat.

"Hey, we still have your luck to fall back on, don't we?"

"You're right. We do."

The two of you went to where the bombs were. You started inspecting.

"Hey, how did you time them?"

"I set it on the bomb itself. I- Oh. That's the problem." He looked down.

"What is it?" You looked down to see. 7:55. Nagito accidentally set it to 7:55 instead of 7:35.

"Whew! Alright, good news. These things are still going off." Nagito cheered.

You both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait." You realized.

"Hm?" Nagito looked at you.

"It's going to explode with us inside." You told him.

"Um... Shit. I don't suppose we can leave through the doors now."

"What about the window?"

"They're too high up. We can't reach. We'd need to move the boxes to make a staircase." Nagito explained grimly.

"And if we do that, those four will come in the gym! Wait, what time is it?" You checked your watch. 7:50.

"WE'RE GOING TO BLAST WITH THIS PLACE IN FIVE MINUTES IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING!" You screamed.

"S/O! NAGITO! You heard shouting from the doors. Taka's voice

"Aaaand they're here." Nagito said, calmly.

"HEY? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? S/O ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT THE FUCK IS NAGITO UP TO?"

"M-Mondo! Um, hey we just have stuff to take care of." You replied, trying not to sound anxious.

"OY THEN WHY BARRICADE SO WE CAN'T GET IN?" Leon shouted. You heard what sounded like fists banging on the doors.

Nagito put a hand on your shoulder and whispered into your ear. "My luck hasn't failed me yet. We'll make it. Just trust me."

"I know. I trust you with my life. But we need to still think of something. Only a few moments before this place is going to blast." Unfortunately, you did not whisper, and the four panicked men on the other side heard that.

"BLAST? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BLAST? DON'T TELL ME TOKO GUESSED CORRECTLY?" Leon exclaimed.

"Y-Yesterday, Yasuhiro specifically predicted S/O was in a dangerous situation." Chihiro finally spoke up.

"NAGITO, EITHER YOU LET S/O OUT THIS INSATNT, OR I BEAT YOUR FUCKING FACE IN AND KILL YOU! DON'T WORRY S/O I'M GONNA GET YA OUT OF THERE!" Mondo shouted.

"NAGITO KOMAEDA! BOMBING IS UNWELCOME IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONEMT, AND IF S/O IS HARMED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF YOU, I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE EXPELLED! I'LL GO AGAINST YOU IN COURT!" Taka shouted.

"GUYS! You're all forgetting something important!" You yelled.

"WHAT?" They all asked in unison.

"My ultimate talent! I'm my classes ultimate lucky student. My luck has never failed me, so rest assured S/O and I are going to make it just fine!" Nagito calmly explained.

"OHHHHH YOU'RE ASKING FOR A BEATING NOW! YOU RISK MY GIRLFRIENDS LIFE FOR YOUR DUMB WHIMS, AND YOU JUST RELY ON SOME STUPID "LUCK" IN CASE THINGS GO SOUTH!"

"GUYS IT'S FINE! Nagito told me everything yesterday, we agreed to do this together! We did it for everyone! Nagito just wanted to help!"

"HELP? HOW IS BLOWING UP A GYM GOING TO HELP ANYONE?" Taka asked.

"S/O HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Leon couldn't believe his ears.

"I want to see my classmates succeed, I know how stressed both classes are about the exams. No one is prepared. Doing this will force them to suspend exams, giving everyone more time!" Nagito told them.

"SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT AN EXAM, AND YOUR NATURAL SOLUTION IS TO CONVINCE YOUR INNOCENT BEST FRIEND TO HELP YOU BLOW SOMETHING UP?" Taka screamed. This wasn't getting better.

"Guys, please! Cut Nagito some slack. Remember, I agreed to it, so I'm just as bad. But it's gonna be alright. Everyone just needs to go back to class, Nagito and I will just get out the gym, it'll explode and we can all go home and laugh this off."

"BOMBING IS NO LAUGHING MATTER!" Taka yelled back.

"S/O, I DON'T KNOW WHAT NAGITO HAS DONE TO YOUR HEAD, BUT HOLY SHIT YOU COULD DIE!" Your boyfriend screamed. You could hear it in his voice, he was tearing up. He thought he was actually going to lose you.

"Oh, love. I know how scary this looks. But don't worry. I'll be on the other side in a moment. We've got this covered." You told him.

Nagito took you by the hand and lead you to the center of the gym. The others kept shouting, but you weren't paying attention.

"I got this trampoline set up. It's going to blast in 30 seconds. I have my watch set. We'll jump together. If we're lucky, the roof will be blown off so we'll jump out smoothly."

"Perfect! I knew we'd be alright." You smiled warmly.

Nagito took your hand in his. You both nodded in unison at each other.

And then it came.

The bombs blew, the place exploding, you both jump as hard as you could. Some of the bombs had been tied to the ceiling. The impact of the blast sent you two even higher, and away from the gyms location. You were so high up you could hardly believe it.

"WOOOOOOAAAAAA!" You both were shot up instantly into the air, before gravity began it's forceful pull. Pulling you both downward. You shut your eyes, gripping each other's hands as hard as you could. You were falling, falling so fast.

But then you landed. You landed, and it felt.... soft? There was the impact, yes, but surprisingly you hardly felt a thing.

"Ah, seems my luck provided us with a cushion." Nagito mused.

You looked around. You were in the back of a truck that happened to be conveniently packed with pillows, and it was conveniently parked walking distance from the school.

"Nagito, look!" You pointed. There it was, the blast that obliterated the gym.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! OHHH YES! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF HOPE! WE'VE DONE IT S/O!" He cheered.

"Oh Nagito this is wonderful! I can feel the hope pulsing within me!" A tear of happiness fell from your eye.

You both exited the truck, and shared a tight embrace.

"Oh, S/O. I knew we could do it! We'll have inspired so much hope!" Nagito cried tears of joy.

"Come on, let's go let them know we're okay!" Before you could take him by the hand, a motorcycle came driving furiously towards you.

"Oh, I think they figured out we're okay." He chuckled.

"Yeeeaaaah.... Do you wanna run so you don't get beat up?"

"Nah, I'm on a good lucky streak."

"Alright."

Finally, the motorcycle with four people on it came to a stop. They all came running to you.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Your bestie asks. You burst out laughing.

"OHHHH YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP YOU GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH!" Your boyfriend was about ready to kill him. You looked at Leon, he looked ready to kill him too.

You quickly moved yourself in front of Nagito with your arms wide out to protect him.

"HOW CAN YOU STILL DEFEND THIS BASTARD?" Leon yelled out.

"He told the truth! We're fine. Everyone is fine."

"S/O. Babe." Mondo hugged you tight.

"I could've lost you! I thought you were going to die. All because, what, some people are scared of a measly fuckin exam?"

"Oh, love." You hugged back. "Shhh. It's okay." You rubbed his back to soothe him.

Mondo sobbed uncontrollably into your arms.

"Nagito..... There WILL be consequences!" Taka exclaimed.

"Oh? But haven't you seen? S/O is completely fine. Happy even! So there's nothing to be concerned about.

"You still could've got the both of you killed! Don't you understand? You can still be arrested for this! They have cameras!" After Taka said this, Mondo's embrace tightened.

"Oh no, I'm actually already hacking into the camera system right now. I'm deleting the footage!" Chihiro chirped happily.

"WH- YOU CAN DO THAT?" Taka questioned.

"Yeah. I'm the ultimate programmer. I'm also seeing how exactly they went and did this." Chihiro showed everyone his laptop.

"So here we see them climbing the fence. They're entering, S/O comes out to place the sign. Then in the gym, here they are getting set up. Now they're climbing out." Chihiro deleted their footage, ensuring no one would be caught.

"Fuck. S/O, please. Don't scare me like that again." Mondo cried out through sobs.

"Hey, it's alright. I promise I won't blow up any more gyms, mkay?" You kissed his forehead.

"So uh, when they start investigating, I don't care what happens to Nagito, but we don't want S/O going to jail. They'll notice her odd behavior days before the blast, plus what Toko told us." Leon explained.

"Don't worry Leon. We have more than just my luck, one of the ultimates in my class is a Yakuza leader! He'll make sure we aren't arrested." Nagito tried to reassure Leon.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" They all shouted.

"But it might not come to that. Nagito's luck hasn't failed us at all!" You chirped happily.

Eventually, the police were unable to find evidence as to what happened to the gym. The case was dismissed, and the exam was canceled entirely. People were still shook from the whole ordeal, but there was still a happy ending. Just exactly as planned. How hopeful! You had to give your boyfriend lots of assurance that you won't do something like that again. Yeah, he was really shaken, poor guy. At least everyone is fine now.

Dealing With Demons Chapter 4: That Didn't Go Well Part 1: Riley

Masterlist with CW

Taglist: @demyxdancer @softvampirewhump

No one asked Riley how their evening was the next day at work. They had no idea what they'd have said if someone had. Thankfully everyone was too wrapped up in the new murder to care about anyone's personal life.

Riley felt more than a bit uncomfortable being thankful for that.

Before they could get too deep in that thought the elevator doors dinged and Mike ran over to Riley's desk.

"Guess who found us a suspect while out interviewing persons of interest!"

"Really? A former classmate has ties to the occult?"

"Nope! But one of the teachers does!"

"Oh! Nice!"

"And that's not all, he's an English teacher and the first victim was a newly famous author. I think your profile is right, these are envy killings."

Riley smiled. They were proud of that profile.

"Me and Sil are heading over to the guy's apartment to interview him now, it's basically a recon mission, so we want you with us."

"Alright, I'll grab my suit from my locker."

Riley's smile faded as they turned away from Mike. They remembered how Avi had claimed they could identify if a suspect had made a deal. It would be irresponsible not to call them. But then they'd have to tell Mike and Sil about staying in contact with a demon... Maybe they should wait and see how the interview went and then figure out what to do. Who knew, maybe he'd have the summoning rune still set up in his home and all of this would all be moot.

......

The English teacher did not have the summoning rune still set up in his home. In fact there was no evidence beyond the testimonies Mike had collected from a couple of other teachers and a rather nosy janitor that the man had ever had anything to do with the occult.

"We're sorry to disturb you, Mr. Bell," Sil said as the trio left the apartment. "We'll be on our way."

Bell slammed the door shut after them.

Mike winced. "That could have gone better."

Riley did not want to admit to themself what they knew they had to do.

"If only there was some way to prove he's demonically connected," Sil said.

Riley put their head in their hands.

"Yeah, I wish we had a spell you could cast that would tell us if he's sold his soul or not. Hey, you okay Riley?" Mike asked.

"Agent Bishop?"

Riley had emitted a pained groan, and now they slowly raised their head to look at their companions. "Okay, I might have a solution."

"Well come on then, spill it!" Mike urged.

"Let's um, let's step away from this guy's door first, this might get loud. Okay, do you remember that demon we came across like a month ago?"

Mike visibly shuddered. "Um, yeah. How could I forget?"

"I had nightmares about that thing for days." Sil said.

"Well... I sort of... y'see the demon..."

"Did you see them again? Did they threaten you?" Sil's tone was very serious and concerned.

"They gave me their number."

The silence lasted long enough for Riley's face to go as red as a tomato. Mike spoke up first.

"I thought you didn't date."

"N-Not like that! They said, um, they said they wanted to be friends."

"What the fuck?"

Mike and Riley stared for a moment with their mouths hanging open. Sil never cursed on the job.

The rest of the confession spilled out of them. "And last night I asked them if they could help out with the case."

"You did what?!"

"I was out of leads to follow, Sil, I just—"

"You could have died!" With Sil going off like this Riley felt like a child being scolded by a teacher.

"I don't think they want to hurt me. I think they just want to make sure the Bureau's not gonna banish them."

Sil looked like she was about to yell something else so Riley continued. "And anyway, what I'm trying to say is that they told me they can tell if someone's made a deal."

There was another silence.

"Nope, no way."

"Mike—"

"What if they're the one killing people, did you even consider that!"

"Mike," Riley pleaded again. "You said it yourself. These are envy killings, not avarice."

"We need to talk with Director Coleman about this. In person."

"For once I agree with Sil. Maybe the director can knock some sense into you."

"What, and give Bell time to skip town?" Anger bolstered Riley's confidence. "No. You guys can leave if you want but I'm calling Avi now."

"What could possibly motivate you to be this stupid? Seriously, Riley, this isn't like you," Mike said. And he was right. Riley was never this confrontational.

Why were they acting like this? After a moment the answer came to them.

"Lives are on the line. We have to take what help we can get. You can leave if you want."

It looked like Mike was considering it, then he sighed. "No. No way am I leaving you alone with them."

"Agreed. If we're doing this, we're doing it as a team."

"Thank you, really. That means a lot."

"Yeah, well, we're still telling Coleman everything when we get back to base," Mike said. "Now call the demon and get them here. I can't believe I just said that."

Riley got out their phone, pulled up Avi's name in their contacts and took a deep breath. Then they hit the call button.

It rang once. Twice.

"Hello? Riley?"

"Um, hi, Avi. You're on speaker with Mike and Sil."

"Oh! Hello Riley's team!" Avi sounded cheerful, as if they didn't have a care in the world. Mike and Sil remained silent.

"So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" Avi said, ignoring the awkward pause.

"We, uh, we found a suspect but can't find any solid proof that he's tied to the occult. Do you think you could help?"

"I'll be right there. What's the address?"

It was the most awkward ten minutes of Riley's life waiting for Avi to get there. No one said a word, just stared at them disappointedly and shuffled their feet. Why was it taking so long? Demons could teleport!

Then the door leading outside swung open and Avi sauntered inside the building carrying three styrofoam cups.

"I brought everyone coffee!" They handed out the warm cups. Everyone accepted them but when Riley went to take a drink of theirs Sil looked them in the eyes and shook her head.

Avi was dressed professionally, in a light teal button-up and black slacks. Aside from the color they fit right in with the team's "We're definitely in the FBI" suits. Their cheerfulness seemed genuine, but their smile wavered for a second when no one drank their coffee. Relief flooded Riley when they realized that Avi hadn't brought a drink for themself. Riley didn't think their team knew enough about demons to realize what Avi being able to taste meant, but just in case, anything that made the demon seem more powerful was likely to get Riley in even more trouble.

"So." Avi clapped their hands together. "Where is our suspect?"

"Follow me," Sil said with professional seriousness as she led the way back to the man's apartment.

Once they got there Avi knocked politely but forcefully. Bell opened the door a crack.

"Didn't I tell you people to leave me alone?"

Avi pushed the door open wider and looked Bell over. When they spoke they did so casually. "Yep. This man sold his soul."

A look of panic flashed across Bell's face and he slammed the door shut.

"Get out of the way," Sil said as she took Avi's place and kicked the door in.

Avi grinned. "Oh, that was very cool."

Sil ignored them and walked into Bell's apartment, pointing her gun at him. The others followed, Riley a bit reluctantly. They hadn't exactly planned to be involved in the more action-packed parts of a case again so soon. Although, they should have expected as much after involving Avi.

"It's over, Mr. Bell. Surrender and come with us."

"I don't think so." Then he raised his voice until he was shouting. "I invoke our contract!"

"Shit. He must have some sort of protection clause." Avi rushed to get in between Bell and the others. Sil made a noise of protest.

Then the room went cold and a bright light flashed. When it faded a figure stood next to Bell. They were silver, reflective like a mirror, and crystalline. Just a basic humanoid shape with no features except for two eyes, which shone a poisonous green.

"This human is under my protection." The figure didn't have a mouth, but their voice was clear enough.

"Yeah," Avi said. "We'd like it if we could get you to renegotiate the terms of that contract."

The new demon looked at Avi with narrowed eyes. Then they took a step back. "How the hell did you get what every demon dreams of?"

Riley couldn't even take the time to process those words and wonder what they meant. There were two demons in the room with them. That might be about to start fighting. They were all going to die.

"Listen, that's not important right now. I'm Avi, they/them. You are?"

"Maximilian, he/him."

"Maximillian. Of course that's what a demon of envy calls himself."

"What?"

"Nothing. So, Maximilian, these people behind me would very much like for your client to stop killing people. Can you tell us the exact terms of your contract?"

"In exchange for this man Andrew Bell's soul upon his death happening without my involvement I am to deliver him to the homes of his five most hated enemies. I am then to make sure he has the means and opportunity to kill them, then transport him back to his home before law enforcement arrives on the scene. Until the last of the five are dead I am to protect him from those who wish to harm or imprison him. All aspects of my half of the contract cease when the last of the five dies."

Riley was a bit thrown off by the sudden lawyer-like tone.

"Damn. If not for the 'or imprison him' this negotiation might have been easy," Avi remarked.

"Yes, Mr. Bell was very thorough in his demands."

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!"

"Apologies," Maximilian said without a hint of remorse.

"So that leaves two victims left alive."

"One," Riley interjected with no small amount of nerves. "Another died last night."

"One victim left alive. Thank you, Riley. Mr. Bell, what can we do to make you reconsider your stance on murdering this person?"

"Nothing!" The word was practically a hiss. "She doesn't deserve what she has! She has never in her life worked as hard as I have worked and—"

"Yes, yes, big villainous speech, you're very intimidating or justified or whatever it is you were going for. Now, can you tell me the name of this person?"

"Uh, Clara Bolton."

"And her address?"

Bell told them. He seemed too caught off guard to think not to.

"Excellent, and can you," Avi turned around and addressed the agents behind them. "Refrain from attempting to harm or imprison Mr. Bell until I get back?"

"What? Where are you going?" Riley asked.

"I've figured out a way for this to all work out, but I need to go somewhere first. Do you trust me?"

"I don't," Mike muttered from the back of the group.

"I give you three my word that what I'm going to do will help with this problem, and that I will be back as soon as I can."

"Why should that make us trust you?" Sil asked.

"All a demon has is their word. To break a promise would go against every fiber of my being."

"It's true." Riley turned to look at their companions. "A demon's promise is sacred." Riley hadn't read this in any book in the Bureau's library. This knowledge had come directly from their grandmother and they were willing to entrust their life to it.

Sil looked at Riley for a moment, then she turned to Avi. "Okay. We'll stand down for now." She put her gun away.

"Excellent! Now, Maximilian, can I get your word that while I'm gone you won't act against these three in any way unless they try to harm or imprison Mr. Bell?"

"Sure, seems easy enough. You have my word."

"Thank you. Now, I'll be back in just a moment."

Then Avi vanished. Even knowing he had promised to leave them alone, Maximilian's presence was somehow more threatening without a benign demon as a buffer.

When had Riley started thinking of Avi as benign?

Bell made a dash for the front door, Mike stepped in front of it and activated his shield ring.

"Sorry, nope."

"You can't imprison me!"

"It's not imprisonment, You could leave through the window before Avi gets back. If you're fast enough."

Bell looked to the window. He didn't seem very eager to navigate the fire escape. Then he looked at Maximilian imploringly.

"He's right."

"Damn!"

There was a long, silent, deeply awkward moment where no one did or said anything. Riley fought to keep their jaw unclenched and resisted the urge to hold onto their protection amulet. Sil kept unconsciously moving her hand towards her gun then stopping herself. Mike stood in front of the door as still and solid as a brick wall.

Then, Avi returned. And they weren't alone.

"Are you alright, Ms. Bolton?" Avi asked as she stumbled and nearly fell. Her face looked anything other than alright but she nodded anyway. Avi turned to Bell.

"Is this the correct Clara Bolton?"

"Yes."

"So your contract ends when she dies?"

"Yes."

Riley got an awful premonition of what Avi was about to do. But before they could say anything Avi had already covered their hand in the shining substance Riley knew to be their true form and ripped out her soul. Bolton's body fell lifeless to the floor.

"Well then. There's that settled."

Everyone in the room was the very picture of shock except for Avi and Maximilian. Maximilian looked down at Bolton's body.

"It is indeed settled. Have a nice life, Mr. Bell. I'll see you when you die." Then the demon of envy disappeared.

Riley was just about to start screaming in fear or shock or something when Avi did the last thing Riley was expecting them to do. They shoved Bolton's soul back into her body.

She took a gasping breath and started picking herself up off the floor. "What?"

"There you are, safe from Mr. Bell. I've fulfilled my end of the bargain," Avi said with a cocky smile.

Bell's face turned bright red. "That's not fair! My deal isn't done! Maximilian! Get back here!"

"Actually, Mr. Bell, you didn't specify that your enemies had to stay dead. Just that they die. Don't feel too bad though, almost anyone would have made that mistake."

A wordless scream tore free from Bell's throat and he ran at Bolton. Avi stepped in front of her and grabbed Bell by the shoulder. He struggled but Avi's grip never faltered.

"Riley? I believe it's time you and your friends apprehended your murderer."

Sil shook herself out of her visible shock.

"Right." She grabbed the handcuffs from her belt, secured them around Bell's wrists, and started listing off his rights.

Avi let go of Bell and turned to see Riley staring at them slack-jawed. The demon was still wearing a wide smile.

"What? You didn't think I thought you all would be okay with a plan involving permanent death, did you?"

"You... how..."

"By being very clever and very experienced with knowing all the possible loopholes in a contract."

Avi's earlier words rang in Riley's head, "I've fulfilled my end of the bargain."

"You made a deal with her didn't you?" Riley sounded disgusted. "You did this in exchange for her soul."

"The only way I could keep her soul on this plane of existence after killing her was if it had been promised to me. It was the only way to save her."

"She's safe now! Call off the deal!"

"No." Suddenly Avi's face and tone dropped to something serious.

"Why not?!"

"Because I held up my end, so one day she'll have to hold up hers."

Tears formed in the corners of Riley's eyes.

Avi's face softened. "I'm going to take her back home, you should help deal with Mr. Bell."

Riley turned back towards their companions as Avi grabbed Bolton and vanished.

"Riley," Mike said. "I've never heard you yell at anyone and you just yelled at a demon. I don't know whether to call you a badass or an idiot."

"I say idiot. Definitely. You can be the one to explain all of this to Coleman." Sil said as she led Bell towards the door.

Riley should've felt retroactively scared of the potential consequences of yelling at a demon. Or relieved that in this case there were no consequences. Or worried about how Coleman would react to this. Instead they were just sad.

"Come on guys, let's..." Riley sighed and wiped their eyes. "Let's just go back to base."

(i hope the image isn't too eystrain-y AAAAAAAAA)

wooooooo i'm finally done with these

okay basically these voice dramas are about what happened to the prisoners three days before their crimes and they're supposed to reveal more about their life, what kind of people they are and all of that stuff. they will be separated into two parts bc the voice dramas are pretty short, so this part includes akio, aimi, shun, naomi and kei and the next one will include eiko, asahi, yurika, riku and reina.

warnings: a mention of bullying and an implication of a child being seriously injured in aimi's vd, shun is being a stalker, a description of physical and emotional abuse in naomi's vd, mentions of torture and homophobia in kei's vd (there's also some implications of the latter in akio's vd, but like, if you squint really hard)

[ Akio's Confession ]

(the sound of a school bell ringing)

(the voices of other students can be heard in the background)

Akio: *sighs*

Akio: *thinking* "This class was way too easy.. All classes were too easy so far, honestly."

Akio: *thinking* "Though that's just something I have to deal with as a genius that I am, haha.."

Akio: *thinking* "It's just.. I thought that an elite school like this would be more interesting."

Akio:*thinking* "But when I look at my classmates.. Yeah, I can see why the teachers would go easy on them. How did they even get- Oh, right, probably because they're rich and all."

Akio: *thinking* ".. My parents have worked so hard so that I could attend this school and now I'm complaining.."

Akio: Hm...

(sounds of someone's footsteps getting faster and faster)

Arata: Akioooooo!~

Akio: *screams*

Akio: W-what are you-

Arata: Come on, you promised that we'll have lunch together! 

Arata: Come on, get up, get up!

Akio: C-can you-

Akio: *whispering* Can you.. you know.. be quieter? This is embarrassing, everyone is staring at us.

Arata: *whispering* I know, I'm acting like this on purpose.

Akio: Wha-

Arata: Okayyyy, let's go, let's go!~

Akio: I-I haven't even brought anything with me-

Arata: It's okay, as your boyf-

Arata: Uh.. 

Arata: *clears throat* Ahem, as your best friend, I have prepared something very special for you myself!

Arata: Now let's go!

(sounds of footsteps)

Female classmate: These two are.. really close, aren't they?

Akio: I still can't believe that out of all the hobbies you could have, your hobby is.. cooking.

Arata: What, I don't look like a perfect housewife? You're breaking my heart..

Akio: Ugh..

Akio: C-can't you just act.. you know.. normal?

Arata: Nope. Now say "Ahhh~"

Akio: I am not a child-

Akio: !

Arata: See? Tastes good, doesn't it?

Akio: B-but again, everyone is staring at us..

Arata: And? They're just jealous.

Arata: You know, you look so plain, but you've got someone like me as your boyfriend! You're so lucky!

Akio: Plain?..

Arata: U-uh, I find that cute about you.

Arata: Also, you stole the "most popular guy" title from me! You're so cool!

Akio: We both know you weren't popular because of your looks or intelligence or anything.

Arata: Haha, yeah, being the son of the headmaster kinda makes you popular by default..

Arata: But like, not for a good reason.

Akio: You're still creepy though, obviously they would find you intimidating.

Akio: And you also have a lot of power in this place, so..

Arata: Y-you think I'm creepy?!

Akio: Yes.

Arata: So cold!.. But that's what I like about you!

Akio: Also, about me stealing your title and all..

Akio: .. That title also was stolen from me recently.

Arata: Huh? By who?

Arata: .. Oh.

Arata: You're talking about that guy, right?

Akio: *nods*

Arata: Well, he joined us only a few months ago and he also used to be homeschooled. I think it's his first time actually going to school?

Akio: Yeah, because of his health problems.

Arata: Of course a guy like him would get everyone's attention.

Arata: They just feel sorry for him. Don't worry about it too much~

Arata: I mean, have you seen his grades? A guy like him won't survive in this place.

Akio: Should I remind you about your own grades?

Arata: Ahaha.. At least I have you~

Akio: You're not dating me just because I can do your homework for you, right?

Arata: Well, that's one of the reasons why I like you, but..

Akio: I'm breaking up with you.

Arata: No, no, wait!

Arata: Also, Akio, aren't you dating me because I can make you look good in the eyes of the headmaster?

Akio: ...

Arata: He likes you a lot! He said that our school really needed a student like you. 

Akio: ...

Arata: You really are a genius, Akio. I'm sure you'll become famous in the future.

Akio: .. B-but I want to be famous now.

Arata: And you will! I can just make everyone here bow down to you if you want. 

Arata: Both figuratively and literally.

Akio: .. I hate him, Arata. I hate him so much.

Arata: I know. 

Akio: Sometimes I wish I just could-

Akio: ...

Akio: Never mind.

Arata: Hm? What is it?

Akio: I said, never mind!

Arata: Come on, say it, say it!

Akio: Shut up already-

Arata: Say it, Akio.

Akio: ...

Akio: .. Wouldn't it be nice if he just..

Akio: You know..

Akio: .. Died?

Arata: ...

Arata: Haha..

Arata: Ahahahahahahaha!

(sounds of Arata laughing and falling on the ground)

Akio: .. Yeah, I can't just ask you to act normal again, can I?

Arata: S-sorry, sorry.. 

Arata: It's just.. I've been waiting for you to say it.

Akio: Huh?

Arata: I don't know, something about you hating him so much to the point of wanting him dead..

Arata: It's just so exciting, you know?

Akio: .. There must be something wrong with you.

Arata: With you too. That's why we're perfect for each other!

Arata: So, how do you want him to die?

Akio: Arata, for God's sake, can you just not talk about murder while we're having lunch and there are other people around?

Arata: Nope, talking about murder is fun.

Arata: Also, you still have some food left. Open your mouth.

Akio: Why would you find talking-

Arata: Anyway, we should head back to class, the break is going to end soon.

Akio: R-right..

(sounds of footsteps)

???: Ah! Akio-kun, Arata-kun!

Akio: ...

Arata: There he is.

???: I've been looking for you two everywhere! I just thought it'd be nice to have a lunch together, haha..

???: B-but it looks like you two are already going back to class.. I'm so slow, haha..

Akio: .. I thought I told you not to call us that.

???: What?

Akio: We're not your friends. Why did you even think we'll agree to spend even the moment of our precious time with you?

???: U-uh..

Akio: Seriously, this is why you always have no choice but to eat alone. You're so stupid-

Arata: Now, now, calm down, Akio. 

Arata: Please forgive him, he's not in a good mood today.

???: Really? Why? Did something happen, Akio-kun? C-can I help-

Akio: DON'T CALL ME THAT!

???: ...

Arata: ...

Akio: *breathing heavily* We're not.. friends, Kitami.

Akio: I don't even want to hear you say my name. 

Akio: Don't stand in my way. Arata, we're leaving.

Chise: ...

Chise: .. Hey.. 

Chise: That's not very nice of you, Akio-kun..

Chise: You know I've worked really hard on this, right?

Akio: D-do you think I care?

Chise: Judging from the way you stutter, I think you do.

Akio: ...

Akio: (to Arata) W-why are you still standing here?! I told you we're leaving!

(sounds of Akio and Arata leaving)

Arata: The guy looked like he was about to cry. Are you proud of yourself?

Arata: Not judging you, by the way.

Akio: ...

Arata: Hey, are you listening-

Akio: Why?

Akio: Why does he want to be friends with me?

Akio: He just wants to annoy me, doesn't he? He's just jealous of me and he's trying to make me angry on purpose so that I'll end up yelling at him and ruin my reputation because he's everyone's favorite right now?

Akio: Why do people even like him?! He's so pathetic, so weak, so dumb, so..

Arata: Hey, calm down. 

Akio: ...

Arata: You're better than him. Remember that.

Akio: I KNOW THAT, IDIOT! I JUST WANT OTHERS TO REMEMBER THAT TOO!

Arata: Well, I know for a fact that you're better than him. You're better than everyone here~

Arata: .. Hm? What's wrong?

Akio: .. Ahaha..

Akio: He really doesn't know his place, does he?

Akio: So annoying..

Arata: ...

Akio: Hey, can you help me out with something?

Arata: ...

Akio: Come on, I know you like me.

Arata: .. Haha, so now you're accepting the fact that we're a couple.

Akio: Oh, I was just acting shy. 

Arata: So.. Do you want to.. 

Arata: You know.. 

Akio: I just want to teach him a lesson. Nothing more than that. I'm strict, but I'm not evil. 

Arata: ... Oh. 

Arata: Well, our school's lucky to have a king like you.

[ Aimi's Confession ]

(The door opens)

Aimi: I'm back! 

Aimi: ... 

Aimi: Hey? Is anybody here? 

Aimi: ... 

Aimi: "Haha.. It's like I have no choice but to be alone.."

Aimi: "Just what did I do to deserve this-" 

???: Oh, there you are! 

Aimi:"Great. Out of all people, it had to be him."

Aimi: Nii-san!

(sounds of Aimi and her brother hugging)

Aimi's brother: Sorry, I was wearing earphones and didn't hear you.

Aimi's brother: If you're wondering where mom and dad are, they went to check on the park, they've heard it's been doing.. not so good.

Aimi: Really? What happened? 

Aimi's brother: One of the rides suddenly stopped working and two kids fell off. One of them is fine, thankfully, but the other one ended up in the hospital. 

Aimi: Oh.. 

Aimi's brother: Also, Yori is walking Maru and Mochi right now, just so you know. 

Aimi: Oh, right, I got scared for a second, haha.. 

Aimi: By the way, why are you wearing an apron? 

Aimi's brother: Oh, Fumiri wasn't feeling well, so I offered to cook today. 

Aimi: You can cook? 

Aimi's brother: Okay, rude. 

Aimi's brother: You're not gonna eat then?

Aimi: No, I will! I'm okay with whatever Nii-san decides to make~

Aimi's brother: I'm almost done, so you don't have to wait long. Go wash your hands.

Aimi: Oh, right! I forgot, haha.. 

Aimi: I didn't know you were this good at cooking. It's shocking, really. 

Aimi's brother: *laughs* Why are you so mean to me today? Did you have a bad day at school?

Aimi: ...

Aimi's brother: Oh.. 

Aimi's brother: Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to-

Aimi: N-no, it's okay, it's okay! It's just..

Aimi: It's.. Um.. 

Aimi: M-my classmates.. 

Aimi's brother: ... 

Aimi's brother: *sighs* What did they do this time?

Aimi: Well, um.. 

Aimi: Haha.. 

Aimi: Emi-chan said that I'm too violent and because of that others tend to avoid me.. 

Aimi: And.. She said she thinks I'm.. 

Aimi: Scary, haha.. 

Aimi's brother: ... 

Aimi: Am I scary, Nii-san? 

Aimi: Am I violent? 

Aimi: I always try to be kind to everyone I meet! I would never want to scare anyone or hurt them! 

Aimi: I'm not violent! I'm really not! 

Aimi's brother: I know. I know. 

Aimi's brother: Why do you think she called you that? 

Aimi: I don't know!

Aimi: I don't want to say that she.. 

Aimi: Uh.. 

Aimi's brother: You don't want to suspect her, right? 

Aimi's brother: You don't want to believe that she had bad intentions, right? 

Aimi: ... 

Aimi: W-why would she? 

Aimi: I mean, she's not evil or anything.. 

Aimi's brother: Well, maybe she's jealous. 

Aimi's brother: Maybe she's jealous of your wealth or your looks. 

Aimi's brother: Maybe she wanted to provoke you and make you act "violent" in public. 

Aimi's brother: You know, like that time with Sao.

Aimi: I-I didn't hit her on purpose, I swear! 

Aimi's brother: Of course, I know that. 

Aimi's brother: But that's just how the world works. If somebody doesn't like you, it doesn't mean that they will be straightforward about it. Maybe they will just try to make it look like it's your fault for making them hate you.

Aimi's brother: It's not their fault for being mean to you. It's your fault for getting angry. That's how their thought process goes.

Aimi: BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! 

Aimi: I JUST WANTED TO BE FRIENDS WITH THEM! 

Aimi: Would they like me more if I wasn't so rich? Would they like me more if I wasn't so pretty? 

Aimi: I always was so nice to them! I bought them so many gifts, I always offered my help when needed..

Aimi: I THOUGHT THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! BUT THAT'S NOT HOW FRIENDS ACT! 

Aimi: ... 

Aimi's brother: Aimi, dear, I understand you. I understand your feelings so well. 

Aimi's brother: This world is full of evil people. You're one of the few people who stay kind no matter what. 

Aimi's brother: And most people prefer to just ignore all the evil others do.. 

Aimi's brother: But I don't agree with that. Honestly, I think people like that don't deserve to live. 

Aimi: .. "Don't deserve to live"?

Aimi: So what you're saying is.. 

Aimi: ... 

Aimi's brother: Just trust me, okay? You can always rely on me. 

Aimi: B-but then.. 

Aimi's brother: I'll go wash the dishes. How about you play with Maru and Mochi when they come back? 

Aimi: Nii-san, you're not going to.. 

Aimi:Do anything to my classmates, right? 

(sounds of Aimi's brother washing the dishes) 

Aimi: Ugh, he can't hear me.. 

(sounds of dogs barking in the background)

Aimi: Oh, is that-

Aimi: They're back! I'll go greet them, hehe~

[ Shun's Confession ]

Shun: I see. Thank you, this helps a lot.

Old woman's voice: You're welcome. To be honest, I did have my suspicions about that boy..

Old woman's voice: But you seem really nice. I'm sure she still misses you.

Shun: Ahaha.. Thank you so much. I hope so too.

Shun: Have a nice day.

(sounds of footsteps)

Shun: ...

Shun: *sighs loudly*

Shun: God, that was so scary..

Shun: Ugh, socializing shouldn't be this hard..

Shun: But at least I've learned more about her..

Shun: .. Shouldn't I have known that already if she was my girlfriend?..

Shun: N-never mind.

Shun: Okay, let me just go through my notes-

Shun: !

Shun: I-I almost dropped my phone..

Shun: Okay, so.. 

Shun: Inaba Hina, 21 year old. A university student, psychology major, also has a part-time job as a babysitter.

Shun: So she's good with kids, huh.. Haha, they're going to love her.

Shun: Was born on August 28th, lives alone, but regularly picks her little brother up from school since her parents can't do that because of their job and his school is very close to her apartment.

Shun: Come to think of it..

Shun: R-right! She's supposed to pick him up soon!

Shun: I have the address written down, hold on..

Shun: That's it, I'm finally going to meet her!..

Shun: "Okay, I'm finally here.."

Shun: "Huh.. It looks like her brother isn't here yet.."

Shun: "I guess I'll have to wait."

Shun: "Oh, maybe I should try to become friends with her little brother too? If I show her how good I am at taking care of kids, I'm sure she will fall in love with me again!"

Shun: Ehehe.. This plan is definitely going to work..

Shun: I should just wait until her brother-

Shun: Oh, isn't that..

Shun: "Okay, just act normal."

Shun: Hello there. Sorry for asking, but you're Inaba Renji, aren't you?

Renji: .. Um..

Shun: I know this may sound weird, but I'm your sister's.. friend and-

Renji: W-why do you know my name?

Shun: Your sister told me! She loves you a lot and she told me that you're a very good kid so I thought-

Renji: .. And what's your name?

Shun: O-oh, uh..

Shun: I-it's Ishizu Shun. You've probably heard it before.

Renji: Nope. Never heard a name like that.

Shun: ...

Shun: "S-she.. Never told her brother about me.."

Renji: Hey. I don't know what your deal is and I don't know anything about your relationship with my sister, but like..

Renji: C-can you.. leave me alone?

Shun: Oh, uh, s-she asked me to pick you up from school since she's too busy today!

Renji: ...

Shun: ...

Renji: Dude. That's like.. What all child kidnappers say. 

Shun: What?! No, no, you got it all wrong! I swear, I really am her friend-

Renji: I am going to scream if you don't leave me alone.

Shun: But-

Renji: *takes a breath*

Shun: Okay, fine, fine!

(sounds of Shun running away)

Shun: *breathing heavily*

Shun: That.. did not go well..

Shun: .. So she.. never told her brother about me..

Shun: .. Did she even love me?

Shun: And if not.. Why did she even date me?

Shun: I'm not that attractive and I'm not that smart..

(sound of a phone notification)

Shun: Hm? What's that?

Shun: O-oh, right, I forgot about Merurin's stream!

Shun: At least I have her to comfort me..

Shun: Did I bring my earphones with me-

???: Here you are!

Shun: *screams*

???: I've been looking for you everywhere!

???: Did you even read my messages?

???: Or did you forget as always?

Shun: .. I-I forgot.

???: *sighs* You have work today, you remember that?

Shun: .. I forgot.

???: Why are you like this..

???: Let's go. We're gonna be late, but honestly, I don't really care.

Shun: ...

???: Don't look at me like that. I'm not doing this because we're friends or anything.

Shun: O-oh, right. Sorry..

???: Hey, what were you watching anyway-

A voice from Shun's phone: Hewwo, my adorable little kittens! How are you all doing today? 

Shun: ...

???: ...

A voice from Shun's phone: Aw, I wish I could just give you all loooooots of headpats!~

???: .. You know what, I think you'll be fine without my help.

???: See you at work. 

Shun: W-wait!

Shun: ...

Shun: ".. Fine. I'm going to see Hina soon anyway."

Shun: "Or actually.."

Shun: .. Ehehe..

Shun: "Maybe I should invite her new boyfriend instead?"

[ Naomi's Confession ]

(sounds of children laughing and running around can be heard in the background)

Naomi: Okay, okay, everybody, sit down~ We can't have a tea party while you all are running and jumping like this, right?

Naomi's students: Okay, Chiba-sensei!

(sounds of children sitting down)

Naomi: Great! Now, I didn't forget about anyone, right? Everyone has tea to drink and snacks to eat-

Female student A: Chiba-sensei! Natsu ate my cookies while I wasn't looking!

Naomi: (to Natsu) Really? Did you do that?

Natsu: .. *nods*

Naomi: Come on, that's not a good thing to do. If you wanted some, you could have just asked me. 

Natsu: .. S-sorry..

Naomi: Here, you can take these. But please apologize to Rimi-chan, okay? 

Natsu: (to Rimi) U-um.. I-I'm sorry.. They just looked really good..

Rimi: Hm.. Fine, I forgive you! But never do that again!

Natsu: I-I promise!

Naomi: *laughs* Here, Rimi-chan, I still have some for you left.

Rimi: Yay! You're the best, Chiba-sensei!

Female student B: Chiba-sensei, why other teachers are so boring and strict compared to you?

Female student B: You're so nice!

Male student A: Yeah! You're like a friend to us, but like, a friend that's much older than us!

Naomi: Haha, are you saying that I'm old?

Female student C: Ugh, boys are so rude..

Naomi: Well, um.. I don't know, I just.. I don't want you to see my classes as something.. bad, I guess?

Naomi: I don't want you to be afraid of me or hate me.

Naomi: And also, I try to treat you all with respect, because that's what you all deserve, even if you all are much younger than me.

Naomi's students: Whoa..

Female student D: Chiba-sensei is so cool!

Female student B: How can anyone hate her-

???: .. Ahem.

???: So what you're saying is that you don't want people to see you in a bad way? 

???: You're afraid of people hating you, right? Even if those people are just kids?

Naomi: ...

Female student C: Way to kill the mood.. 

Naomi: Haha.. Come on, Tao-kun, you know that's not true-

Naomi: A-and even if it is true, what's so bad about it? Nobody wants to be hated-

Tao: Yeah, but you're an adult.

Tao: And you're still trying to please everyone and never say no to anyone.

Tao: I don't think it's because you're so kind, but because you're just too scared of being hated.

Tao: Do you really like us? Or do you like us because it's easy to manipulate us and make us think you're the nicest person in the world?

Naomi: ...

Male student B: What's your problem, Tao?! 

Female student C: That's why nobody likes you.

Female student B: Chiba-sensei is nice to us because she loves us. Simple as that. 

Tao: You are not her kids! We're just her students. There's no reason for her to love us.

Female student C: Well, she loves us more than your parents love you, that's for sure.

Tao: !

Tao: Shut up-

(the door opens)

???: Chiba-san? Someone wants to see you.

Naomi: .. O-oh. S-sure, I'll be right there.

Naomi: *stands up* Please wait for me, okay? Don't eat everything without me~

Naomi's students: Okay!~

(sounds of Naomi's footsteps)

Naomi: *thinking* "But who could have possibly wanted to see me-"

Naomi: ...

Naomi: .. Mom?

Naomi's mother: Well hello there.

Naomi's mother: What's with the kids laughing and screaming? I thought you were supposed to have classes today.

Naomi: U-um, we planned to have a tea party today, since everyone's been doing so well lately and we also finished working early, s-so..

Naomi: I just thought it would be nice to reward them with something, you know?

Naomi's mother:Is that a cookie crumb on your cheek?

Naomi: .. Oh. S-sorry.

Naomi's mother: You're so unprofessional..

Naomi: M-mom, I am a 30 year old teacher. Stop visiting me like this. It's embarrassing.

Naomi's mother: You're a bigger embarassment. I have no choice but to check how you're doing.

Naomi's mother: Seriously, you act more like a child than your students.

Naomi: ...

Naomi: B-but they seem to love me-

Naomi's mother: They don't see you as a teacher, Naomi. They see you as another child. You're a friend to them, not a teacher. You won't be able to become a good role model for them.

Naomi: I-I just want them to feel safe, since most of them come from.. families with all sorts of problems.

Naomi's mother: Nobody can be safe with you around. I literally keep visiting you exactly because of that.

Naomi: ...

Naomi's mother: Don't look at me like that. 

Naomi: Please, just.. leave. My students can hear us.

Naomi's mother: And what exactly are you so afraid of? It's your fault for being like this.

Naomi's mother: If you wanted to become a teacher to make me proud, then at least act like one.

Naomi: I-I'm trying..

Naomi: But someone keeps distracting me from doing my job-

(a sound of Naomi being slapped)

Naomi: ...

Naomi's mother: Don't you ever blame me for doing this.

Naomi's mother: I'm doing this for your sake. You have left me no other choice.

Naomi: .. Someone could see you doing this to me, you know.

Naomi's mother: Oh, so now you're blackmailing me. Seriously, you should be more grateful.

Naomi's mother: You don't have to "worry" about me. With my reputation, people would never think I'm in the wrong for doing this.

Naomi's mother: .. They never did.

Naomi's mother: Now, go back to work.

Naomi: .. You really just came to traumatize me again? The hell is wrong with you?

Naomi's mother: .. We'll discuss the way you talk to your own mother later.

Naomi: I am not a child-

Naomi's mother: Again, I have no choice but to treat you like one. 

Naomi's mother: Now, go and play with the kids your age.

(sounds of Naomi's mother's footsteps becoming quieter)

Naomi: ...

Rimi: Chiba-sensei..

Naomi: Ah!

Naomi: Rimi-chan.. what are you doing here?

Naomi: D-did you see-

Rimi: *nods*

Naomi: ...

Naomi: I'm so sorry. That was.. not a teacher-like thing to do-

Naomi: !

Rimi: .. W-when I told you about my parents, you hugged me. You hugged me, even though I was so loud and annoying and couldn't stop crying..

Rimi: S-so, um.. I-I thought that maybe this can help you feel better too.

Naomi: ...

Naomi: C-come on, an adult should be comforting a child, not the other way around..

Naomi: Let's go back, okay? I'm sure everyone is waiting for us.

Naomi: ".. I just hope Tao didn't see this."

[ Kei's Confession ]

(a woman's screaming can be heard in the background)

Kei: Shh, it's okay, it's okay~

Kei: Can you smile for me, please?

Kei: Or, actually, never mind, your expression is already perfect. 

Kei: Anddddd we're done!~

Kei's boss: Seriously, you're enjoying this way too much.

Kei: I just love my job a lot, is that bad?

Kei's boss: Well, your job is to take photos of people in the worst conditions imaginable. Most people wouldn't really like this job, unless they've got some screws loose.

Kei: Haha, come on, you know that with a father like mine, I'm used to this.

Kei's boss: True..

Kei: Also, I'm sure this cutie over here has already fallen in love with me-

(the woman's screaming gets louder)

Kei: .. Maybe not.

Kei's boss: Anyway, just take the money and leave. 

Kei: Oh, you know I'm not doing this for the money-

Kei's boss: Ahem.

Kei: Got it, got it. 

Kei: (to the woman) See you later, sweetie! Uh.. If you survive, that is.

(the door opens)

Kei: Ruka, I'm home!~

Kei: Ruka?..

Kei: "Where could he be?"

Kei: "Nothing happened to him while I was gone, right?.."

Kei: !

Kei: RUKA!

Kei: "What if they've done something to him while I was-"

Kei: Huh?..

Ruka: Oh, you're home.

Kei: .. What are you doing?

Ruka: I'm taking a bath. I thought it was obvious.

Kei: .. While fully clothed?

Ruka: Of course. I remember doing so even when I was alive.

Kei: .. O-okay.

Kei: *breathes out* I was so scared..

Ruka: Why?

Ruka: I won't drown or anything. And I won't try to kill myself. I'm already dead anyway-

Kei: I know, I know! It's just..

Kei: Well, uh.. You remember what happened.

Ruka: .. Oh.

Ruka: You can come here, if you want.

Kei: Again, while fully clothed?

Ruka: What's your issue with clothes? Do it, coward.

Kei:*laughs* Fine, fine.

(sounds of Kei getting into the bathtub)

Kei: This feels so weird.

Ruka: Hearing that from a guy like you sounds weirder.

Kei: .. Am I really that weird, Ruka?

Ruka: Yeah.

Kei: But why?

Ruka: Every single thing about you is weird.

Kei: Well, name one then!

Ruka: You're sitting in a bathtub with me right now and we both have our clothes on.

Kei: .. That was all part of your plan?!

Ruka: Yep.

Kei: .. *laughs* Then you're just as weird as me.

Ruka: Probably. I'm dead anyway, might as well do whatever I want.

Kei: .. Maybe it would be nice to die, actually-

Kei: No, no, what am I saying, haha..

Ruka: Nope, you have to live.

Kei: Huh? Why?

Ruka: Uh..

Ruka: 'Cause you have a job and I don't?.. And well, we still need money, so..

Kei: *laughs* How do you just.. Let things like this come out of your mouth?

Ruka: Maybe that's because of your influence.

Kei: .. Ruka, you love me, right?

Ruka: Dunno.

Kei: Meanie.

Kei: .. I don't want to leave this house anymore. 

Kei: Everyone is too mean.

Kei: They're too mean to us.

Ruka: Listen, your friends' reaction was understandable-

Kei: It was not! They were so rude!

Kei: I probably should have expected it, they were always saying weird things about guys who like guys..

Ruka: *sighs* It's not because of me being a guy.

Ruka: Actually, I'm not even sure if I'm one-

Kei: You are one. At least, uh.. physically. Your gender is up to you to figure out though.

Ruka: Sure, whatever. Anyway, that's not because they acted like that.

Kei: THEN WHY?!

Kei: Ugh, the water is so cold..

Ruka: You just noticed?

Kei: They were so mean...

Ruka: .. Are you going to cry?

Kei: Shut up.

Kei: I wish I could prove to them that my way of showing love is normal..

Ruka: I doubt you can do that.

Kei: .. I think I have an idea.

Ruka: He has an idea. Great.

Kei: They always said things like "Kei, come on, you're going to steal our girlfriends at this point!" or "Seriously, our girlfriends are going to fall in love with you, if you keep at it!"

Kei: I think that's because they knew that their girls would gladly choose me over them.

Kei: So.. Why not invite them here? I can give them as much love as they want from me~

Ruka: Oh no, I'm feeling so jealous..

Kei: You sound more emotionless than ever.

Ruka: Anyway, I'm against this.

Kei: Why?!

Ruka: You should just forget about your friends. Seriously. 

Ruka: Do you even see them as friends?

Kei: Um.. Not really..

Kei: But..

Kei: If I want to appear "less weird", I need to have friends..

Ruka: .. Hey. 

Ruka: .. Have you ever had friends? You know.. before them?

Kei: .. I think I had one.

Kei: But I don't really remember him that well..

Kei: H-he probably left me or something, haha..

Kei: .. Hey, the water is way too cold. I'm getting out.

Ruka: You're not actually going to invite them to our house, right?

(sounds of Kei getting out of the bathtub)

Kei: Why not? I can treat those girls better than their boyfriends.

Ruka: Kei, I don't have a good feeling about this.

Kei: Aw, so you really are jealous!

Ruka: .. You already have me. You don't have to try and get those guys' trust back or whatever.

Kei: ...

Kei: I don't like the way wet clothes feel. I'll go change.

[sugar-omi]

NAH HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT ITS CLICHE AS FUCK BUT MC THROWING HANDS WITH SOMEONE IN SCHOOL CAUSE THEY WERE BULLYING COVE

(And to clarify just in case not like with Jeremy during step 2 where the mc can push him or hit him once or smth I mean like full on fight fight)

I just like to imagine everyone’s in the principals office and MC mom’s are all concerned and angry with MC cause they just beat up their classmate but then they’re like “Well they hit Cove first I was just returning the favour” and moms immediately FLIP cause why is the other kid just getting away with bullying why is their kid the only one getting punished?????

YEAHHH AND IT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE WHY THEY TRIED TO FUCK W COVE BC IF HIS BIG ASS WASNT GONNA FUCK EM UP, YOU WERE BC YOURE CRAZY ABT EACH OTHER N IT JUST DONT MAKE SENSE BUT THATS OKAY, YOU DELIVER WHAT THEYRE ASKING FOR!!

ITS A WHOLW FUCKING RIOT AND IN THE END THE OTHER KID GETS PUNISHED AS WELL BUT UNFORTUNATELY MC GETS THE LONGER SENTENCE

and when they finally get home n your parents stop fretting over you, cove is all fidgety and when it's time to change any bandage, no matter how small, or add ointment to a bruise, he's all "wait! let.. let me help you" when you go to ask your mom's for help w it

and he's all gentle, but he looks sad so you ask what's wrong

"I just hate seeing you hurt"

taking coves face into your hands, squishing his cheeks, "I'd do it all over again. and I'd beat them up even more for even looking at you, I'd jump em even before they hit you if I could've."

cove is teary eyed n crying a bit prbly

"don't ever feel bad if I get into a fight. if it's for you, I'd get into 10 fights! no, a thousand!" you throw your arms wide in the air at that. "no one can touch you like that without getting fucked up twice as bad. so stop fretting okay" you smile and cove cries a fucking river bc you have a bandaid on your cheek, and your knuckles are still flushed/inflamed and have a scrape from missing one of your punches

"you're an idiot.." cove laughs, still crying

"ya know you love me, holden." you smile, wiping his tears.

he nods, "yeah, I do"

and you're stunned bc he just confessed???? omg???

and cove kisses your shocked face, you slap a hand on your cheek bc "KISS?"

n cove just laughs at your expression bc you're so surprised n it's so fuckin cute

so after that sometimes, during your suspension cove will give you a kiss on the cheek for defending his honor if you ask<333 (or don't, he'll do it one more time or so unless you ask him to stop ofc)

if anyone tries to fuck w him after, they're fucked once again

cove does try to keep you outta fights but I mean... if you do turn around n jump em, he won't stop you

giving very much Heather's "fight for me" but you're not deranged like JD

also Liz teases yall bc cove does admit that he loved watching you jump em LMAO

your friends would also be concerned, randy n Terri especially bc they saw it but they'd be like "FUCK YEAH!!!"

no one fucks w cove either while you're gone, OMG GOING TO PICK COVE UP EVERY DAY

the teachers are like "You're suspended you can't be here!!"

like I'm not here for you I'm here for HIM, n you ride off together laughing bc everyone is whispering but fuck em 👐👐👐👐

pls this is making me wanna zoom n like go crazy omg my head is spinning I love this sm

Teachers Pet [sangwoo x fem reader]

request

a/n: should i make a part 2 w/ smut? Like i really liked this lol

tw: light smut? cursing. age-gap relationship

word count: 1042

He was back again but not as a student this time but as a teacher. Sangwoo had a lot of knowledge that just could not be kept to himself, many advised him to share his knowledge and he agreed, one of these people being his childhood best friend, Seung Gi Hun.

As soon as Sangwoo walked through those doors every teacher or should I say colleague welcomed him, he made his way down the long bright hallways to his classroom at the end of the hall, basically isolated. Once he walked in he quickly began to organize everything, straighten the desks, etc. In a couple of minutes some of the smarties kids would walk in through those doors. His heart raced on anxiety of doing something he loved.

Those few minutes of loneliness were soon interrupted by a bell ringing, student after student began to walk in. The seats filled in quickly except one desk that was right in front of him,¨they're intimidated,he thought to himself. The room was quickly filling up,¨if they cared they would have shown up on time .He whispered to himself, he got up his seat and walked up to the white board.

The class focused on his every move until you walked in, Sangwoo turned to the noise that came from the door and he was honestly impressed by the beauty that came in,¨Hello is this Professor Cho´s class?¨ you asked

¨Yes¨He answered a bit taken back by your beauty

you walked inside the class and took the empty seat in front of his desk,¨I'm sorry I'm new here and I got lost¨ you smiled, your lips twinkling in bright glossy glitter lipgloss. you were different from all these students here, something about you…

¨Alright, class i am professor cho, shall we get started?¨ He asked the class, they all nodded but he couldn't keep his eyes off his student. What has happened to him? He could be your dad! He shook the thoughts out of his head and continued with his lecture.

After a couple weeks he learned to control himself around you. It would be extremely difficult at times because you'd be all over him and you didn't know if he liked you or not and it was not worth risking getting kicked out...or was it?

¨And that should be it class, see you tomorrow¨Sangwoo smiled as his students got up and left the class but you remained in your seat. Sangwoo took a small gulp and pretended to look at some papers in his desk, your eyes following your classmates as the last one left. Sangwoo becomes more nervous of your presence,¨oh ms.l/n can i help you with something?¨he asked, not breaking the tension.

You got up from your seat and walked to his desk seductively,¨Oh Professor cho, this doesn't have to do with math rather chemistry¨ you smirked, you finally made it to his desk and you lightly moved his papers to the side as you hopped on his desk crossing your leg so he couldn't see inside since you were wearing a dress.

¨I'm very sorry but that's not my subject¨ He nervously laughed, his face becoming flushed.

He began to get up but you grabbed him by the tie sitting him back down,¨how about human anatomy?¨ You asked, you moved yourself from his desk onto his lap,¨Professor Sangwoo, I know you like me¨ You whispered in his ear, goosebumps rising up his neck.

¨This is very inappropriate y/n¨he whispered, his gaze shifting to the door.

Your eyes widened at him getting hard, you slowly began to rock your hips,¨Really? Because I can feel your boner Professor Sangwoo¨ You softly moaned in his ear,¨You have nothing to be afraid of Sangwoo, I like you too, a lot¨ Sangwoo threw his head back, he knew this was wrong but it felt so good,¨I just turned 20 it works out Sangwoo¨You wrapped your arms around his neck grinding a little harder.

Sangwoo suddenly cupped your face and pulled you into a hard deep kiss, it started you at first but you only pulled him in closer, he lifted himself up and placed you on the desk without breaking the kiss. He roughly pulled your legs apart so he could stand in between them as he roughly kissed you. He removed his lips from yours and started to attack your neck, soft whimpers left your mouth but sangwoo quickly put his hand to your lips,¨you will shut the fuck up and take it like a good fucking girl¨he breathed out as he contiued his atack on your neck.

¨Yes Sangwoo¨ You whispered

His face shot up once again,¨Its Professor Cho¨ He smirked, you could only nod frantically as you embraced yourself for his lips once again but that was soon interrupted by a knock on the door. He quickly picked you up and placed you on the floor, you ran to your desk fixing your hair,¨yes?¨he called out

He obviously began to comb his hair and calm himself down trying to pretend that what just happened didn't,¨Professor its Professor Lee, can i come in?¨ She asked, the teacher in the science depart, more specifically your teacher and both you didn't like each other.

¨Yes of course¨ He said, she slide the door open and soon her gaze went towards you, throwing you the most dirty look ever,¨Oh this is Y/N i'm tutoring her since she's falling behind¨ Sangwoo lied.

The teacher rolled her eyes at you,¨Sangwoo we have a conference in 30 minutes, i wanted to ask if you wanted to ride together?¨She asked

Sangwoo smiled and nodded,¨Yes of course, let me get my things real quick-¨

¨That's my cue to leave, see you next week Professor Cho and please keep in mind my problem, i´m really struggling, thank you¨ You smiled picking up your bag from the floor, showing him your ass. Lucky Kim was waiting outside,¨See you¨You smiled, leaving Sangwoo hot and flustered.

One thing he knew was that you liked him as much as he liked you, or even more…

Chapter Eight: In Contact

The double doors of the school’s entrance opened with a whoosh, the four children walking, one skating, down the tiled floors. Mike glanced at his group over his shoulder. “Okay, remember, if anyone sees us, look sad.” He reminded as they continued down the hall. El turned to the others to see them pretending to cry. She mimicked them as a voice sounded over the intercom.

“Attention students, there will be an assembly to honor Will Byers in the gymnasium now. Do not go to fourth period.”

When they reached the door to the AV room, Mike grabbed the handle and pushed on the door, sighing when it didn’t give. “It’s locked.”

“What?” Lucas frowned and tried as well. Doc rolled her eyes as Dustin turned to El.

“Hey, do you think you can open it? With your powers?”

El didn’t have time to answer before Mr Clarke came around the corner. “Boys?” He called, the five jumping. “Oh. And girls. Assembly’s about to start.”

“We know,” Mike feigned sadness. “We’re just, you know…”

“Upset.” Lucas smiled, but quickly dropped it into a frown.

Dustin stammered and placed a hand on Doc’s shoulder, who was staring down at her shoes. “Yeah. Definitely upset.”

“We just needed some alone time.”

“To… cry.”

Mr Clarke nodded. “Yeah, listen… I get it. I do. I know how hard this is, but let’s just be there for Will, huh? And then,” He reached into his pocket, tossing a set of keys to Mike. “-the Heathkit is all yours for the rest of the day. What do you say?”

“Thanks, Mr Clarke.” Doc grinned.

“My pleasure, (Y/N),” He smiled before turning to El. “Uh- I don’t believe we’ve met. What’s your name?”

All eyes fell on El, who stared at the teacher like a deer in headlights. “Eleven-”

“Eleanor!” Mike covered. “She’s my, uh-”

“Cousin!” Lucas answered.

“Second cousin.” Dustin added.

Doc gently rubbed El’s back comfortingly. “She’s here for the funeral. She’s really shy.”

Mr Clarke sighed. “Ah, well, welcome to Hawkins Middle, Eleanor. I wish you were here under better circumstances.”

El glanced over at Doc, who gave her a reassuring smile. “Thank you.” She replied once her gaze returned to Mr Clarke.

“Uh, where are you from exactly?”

Four sets of eyes widened, the kids having not planned for this scenario to play out. El shook her head slowly. “Bad place-”

“Sweden!”

“I have a lot of Swedish family.”

“She hates it there.”

“Cold!”

“Subzero.”

Mr Clarke tried to keep up with their outbursts with furrowed brows. When he was sure they were done, his eyes lingered on them for a second before he swallowed. “Shall we?”

“Yup!” Lucas nodded before pushing off the door, the group making their way to the gymnasium. From beside her, Doc could feel El’s tense posture, so she gently held her arm. El slightly relaxed in her hold, grateful for her friend.

Friend.

When they reached the gym, Dustin swung the doors open, one of them slamming against the wall. A sea of students from the bleachers all turned to the group at the sound of the bang. Their principal stopped his speech as he and the teachers watched them as well. Dustin looked around before whispering an ‘abort’ and turning around. Before he could run off, Doc and Lucas turned him back around and pushed him forward.

Throughout the assembly, Doc couldn’t help but be disgusted by her classmates, listening to their principal drone on in disinterest. While she knew Will wasn’t actually dead, it didn’t sit right with her that so many cared so little about him. Especially the two in the row above them. Troy and James giggled to each other. “Who is interested in this? This is so stupid.” Troy snickered before mimicking the principal as he spoke. “‘Oh, he was such a good student’.”

Doc clenched her jaw as her eye twitched, pupils zeroing on Troy.

“‘He’s gonna leave a hole in the community’.”

Her fists tightened harshly, shaking with rage. Even from where she was sitting, she could see the vein bulging from Troy’s temple, the boy hissing in pain. He felt the side of his head as James asked what was wrong. Satisfied, Doc turned forward again in time to hear El.

“Mouth breather.”

Doc smirked at her words and crossed her arms. When the assembly came to an end, the dismissal bell rang, signaling the students to leave. Careful of her wheels, Doc climbed down the bleachers, Dustin grabbing her hands and helping her down. Wordlessly, she and Mike followed behind Troy and James, burning mad. “Hey! Hey! Hey, Troy!” Mike called, his voice drowned out by the sea of chatter. Doc quietly cleared her throat.

“Dipshit!”

At her exclamation, the majority of students stopped their walking, including the two bullies. When Troy turned around, his gaze locked on Doc. Mike pushed his sister behind him and stepped closer. “You… You think this is funny?”

“What’d you say, Wheeler?”

“I-I saw you guys laughing over there. And I think that’s a real messed up thing to do.”

James decided to speak up, “Didn’t you listen to the counselor, Wheeler? Grief shows itself in funny ways.”

“Besides,” Troy sneered. “What’s there to be sad about, anyway? Will’s in fairyland now, right? Flying around with all the other little fairies. All happy and gay!”

Then, just to anger them further, Troy began dancing and singing to imitate a fairy. Growling, Doc tried to push past Mike to punch Troy’s face in, but he held her back. “Piece of shit!”

“Whoa!” James laughed alongside his friend. “You got her years ago and still haven’t trained her?”

“Yeah, keep your bitch on a leash, Wheeler,” Troy winked to Doc. “Cheer up, slut. Your gay little boyfriend’s in a better place.”

And with that, the two turned and walked away. As much as Doc wanted to take care of him, she could feel the steam rising off of Mike’s shoulders and decided to let him take the wheel. Without a word, he rushed up behind Troy and shoved him to the ground, just as his sister had done. Doc skated to El’s side as the crowd exclaimed in shock. Troy turned to Mike, livid. “You’re dead, Wheeler.” He fumed and stood to his feet. “Dead!”

Troy ran up to Mike, fist raised to punch, then froze. Doc’s head throbbed a bit in pain, and she soon realized why. At the sound of rapid pitter patter, she looked down to find Troy standing in a puddle of his own urine, the front of his pants soiled.

“Dude, Troy peed himself!” Some kid laughed, triggering the rest of the students to do so as well. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a bit of blood leaking from El’s nose. Her eyes focused forward again, watching as Troy stood in frozen embarrassment. 

As good as it felt to watch him suffer, Doc couldn’t find it in herself to join in the laughter. Her anger hadn’t simmered, bubbling up too much to allow any type of amusement. Without looking, she felt El squeeze her fingertips between her own. When their gazes met, she wiped her nose and pulled Doc out of the gym.

“Holy shit!” Dustin exclaimed once the boys caught up with them. “She made him piss himself. That was genius! Doc, wasn’t that fucking amazing?!”

Doc scoffed as the halls began to clear. “Whatever. It was whatever. You all laughed so the job got done, right?” The hallway silenced, so she looked up to find her friends being the only ones with her, all wearing looks of confusion. She cleared her throat and shook her head. “I’m sorry. It was awesome, El, seriously. I just, uh…”

“I understand.” El whispered, offering a smile that was returned almost immediately. Mike looked between the two before guiding the group to the AV room.

“Come on.” He whispered after unlocking the door and leading them inside. Doc flicked on the light as the others walked to the desk, El sitting in the chair before the Heathkit.

“Now what?” Dustin asked.

“She’ll find him. Right, El?” Mike looked to said girl as his sister made it over to his side. Leaning over, he tuned the Heathkit to the right channel before turning back to El. Doc braced her hands on the desk as El closed her eyes. Just as she expected, a pressure weighed on her head and chest as El concentrated harder.

Mike smiled at Dustin. “She’s doing it. She’s finding him.”

“This is crazy.”

“Calm down,” Lucas shook his head. “She just closed her eyes.”

Above them, the light went out, shrouding them in darkness. Doc quietly whimpered and placed her head on the desk, a white hot pain striking her temple. From the radio and through the static, clanging could be heard. Again. And again. And again.

“What is that?” Dustin whispered, the radio singing as El tuned it. Mike felt his sister bump him, but his eyes were glued to the Heathkit.

“Mom?”

The boys froze. “No way!” Lucas gasped.

“Mom…” Will’s voice whimpered. “Please… Mom! Mom!”

“Will!” Mike shouted.

“Will, it’s us!” Lucas joined. “Are you there?!”

Dustin leaned forward. “Can you hear us?! We’re here!”

“Hello? Mom?”

“Why can’t he hear us?” Lucas frowned.

“I don’t know!” Mike yelled.

Doc attempted to claw at something, anything to try and bear the pain thumping within her skull as Will continued to wail over the radio. “Mom! Mom, it’s coming! It’s like home, but it’s so dark… It’s so dark and empty. And it’s cold! Mom? Mom! Mom, please!”

The poor boy’s screaming ended when the fuse of the Heathkit blew and sparked, the boys jumping back. Just as the light turned back on, the fire alarm outside the room began ringing. Thinking quickly, Dustin ran to the back of the room and grabbed the fire extinguisher, putting out the flame that engulfed Mr Clarke’s Heathkit. Mike crouched in front of El and turned her to face him. “El, are you okay? Can you move?”

Blood leaked from her nose, her skin so pale that her veins were peeking through. Mike frowned just before a thump was heard behind him. He and Lucas whirled around to find Doc slumped on the ground. “Doc?!” He panicked, rushing to her side and shaking her gently. “Doc! Lucas, you and Dustin get El! I got Doc!” He ordered before lifting his sister and draping her arm over his shoulders. Lucas and Dustin lifted El by her underarms, carrying her out of the room as Mike dragged his sister behind them.

Students fled the building in a hurry as the boys snuck the two unconscious girls down the opposite direction. “Here’s some carts!” Lucas called out. He and Dustin placed El in one while Mike laid his sister in the other. Simultaneously, Lucas and Mike wheeled the girls down the hall with Dustin following close behind. Both girls had an arm dangling off the side of their carts. And, in unconscious comfort, their fingertips brushed.

Meeting a Karma Akabane!Reader

Warnings ⚠️: curse words, a hint of physical assault, mentions of knives and guns and a whole lotta fighting and many more

Author's note 📝: my first headcanons tee hee~ I'm gonna be honest this may be shtty lol, if you stuck around till the end then thank you! Feedbacks are appreciated and as always likes and reblogs are also appreciated

Also! Tokyo revengers does not belong to me, all credits go to Ken Wakui.

MIKEY :

Your first meeting would be like you luring Takemitchy because he was a delinquent like the psycho you are

Anyways what happened was the two arrogant assh*les from class A came to torment nagisa like in the first few episodes.

Don't ask why Takemitchy was there he goes to very questionable places sometimes lol

He was going to intervene but waited a few more moments to see if they would get physical

They were doing their best to look superior luckily for nagisa, you came looking for him and of course stepped in

You came in holding a glass bottle you found and used that to hit the sturdy wall behind them and said “Die huh? You’d rather die? Then how about we do it now.”

You were swinging the broken sharp bottle like a hooligan when Takemitchy’s saviour complex kicked in

“H-hey stop that, no need to be aggressive” He stood in between you guys, but still trembling like the little lamb he was

And you liked that, (Not in a sexual way) Besides he looked like a delinquent and you had yet to relieve your stress from the class A b*tches

“ehh~ I was just joking blondie” with that sh*t eating smirk everybody liked

“What do you want, Hero?” When I tell you Takemitchy was flustered, HE WAS RED WITH STEAM COMING OUT OF HIS EARS

But remember it was delinquent season lmao

You approached him with your hand reaching out “ Ahem, I believe we got off of on the wrong foot. Nice to meet you, Hero-kun” you asked with a fake happy tone

As Takemitchy was going to reach out to your hand with a bit of hesitancy

You suddenly let go of the bottle you were holding by your side then swung the hand you were reaching towards him. Out came one of those BB knives that weren’t harmful to humans

But of course Takemitchy didn’t know that so he jumped back so far he landed on his butt

“W-what” Takemitchy stuttered

“Ehh~ You’re fast. But for a delinquent, I’m surprised you fell for such a simple move. You jumped so far, too. What are you, a scaredy cat?”

You were approaching him once again when suddenly a kick hit your side.

You hit the wall behind you. A bit surprised you looked up.

“Another blondie ey~ This’ll be fun~” Gosh, you were hot honestly-

“Hey- Y/n! Stop it” The blue haired male finally spoke up

He held your arm as he tried to drag you away while apologizing

T-terribly sorry for this!! She isn’t this mean I swear, you guys just came at the wrong time” He dragged you around, of course you now have a new purpose.

Which was to create more assassination ideas for your classroom teacher.

You looked unbothered as you let nagisa drag you

Mikey let you go, for now. It was easy to track you anyways from your elite school uniform to your bright red hair.

And he was drowsy too soooo yeah

Next time you guys met was when you were beating up those thugs from trying to kidnap you and your friends. He was also with some of the members of the gang when he walked up to you

Confused, the other members followed him

Takemitchy saw you and froze

Mikey held your wrist before you could enter the vehicle the school provided

You looked towards him then at the people behind him

“Oh- You’re that one blondie I tried to fight, nice to see you hehe~” You raised your other hand with a peace sign.

“anyways whatchu want as you can see I’m kind of busy here.” You pointed towards the van where some of your classmates were looking at you with confusion

“you tried to hurt Takemitchy remember. I’m not letting you go this time.” He deadpanned as his hold on your wrist grew stronger

“Hah? You should’ve just fought me back then blondie. I’m on a school trip you know, our whole class should be waiting for us right now” You rolled your eyes as you tried to shake his arm off. Grin still prominent but had an irk mark by the edge of you’re forehead.

“Hey, Mikey i-its ok, I wasn’t hurt anyways” Takemitchy tried to diffuse the situation

"Mikey are you sure about this?" Mitsuya asked feeling a little cautious because you were a girl, and he had younger sisters that he cared for.

“Listen to your friends before I get pissed off. Shorty.” You provoked him

"Wow ok nevermind" the thoughts of the members were visible on their faces as they all looked away from the situation

As soon as things were getting too escalated Koro-sensei stepped in but Draken had something to say about that.

“Now now children, you mustn’t fight-“ “Let them settle stuff up gramps.” He put a hand around Koro-sensei’s “shoulder”

"G-GRAMPS LITTLE BOY HOW RUDE MUST I-" for a teacher he lets himself get cut off numerous times

“Hey mikey, I thought you don’t hit girls” Takemitchy tried again. But was silenced as soon as Mikey’s foot raised

“I don’t fall for the same trick twice you know?” You blocked his kick with both arms as you raised your head, and looked at him straight in the eye and tried to sneakily raise your arm to your pocket.

Mikey saw of course, he thought you would bring out that plastic knife again so his eyes remained on that part of your body

That was his mistake as you raised your other fist to hit him square in the face

Though unluckily for you, he wasn’t even fazed.

wow were the others kind of impressed tho, even draken. You managed to land a hit on the invincible Mikey

Yeah sure it isn't surprising. But the members couldn't help but underestimate you at first.

"Oh? You're strong. Unlike your member over there hehe~" you were definitely trying to provoke him now if it wasn't obvious enough

The provocation worked, he lunged at you in full speed, and before you could figure out how to counter he was already right in front of you

Hit you square in the face, as if to spite him, you too were not fazed instead you slowly turned your face back to him then smirked.

"That all you got?" This time you were the one to attack, you got into formation and act like you were about to punch, he tried to duck but just when you were about to land a hit your position changed

Both of your hands were now nearing him.

"Were you going to slap him?" He couldn't dodge now but what you did next surprised him and all of the others

You clapped

Everything went still for Mikey, he reached his hands out to cover his ears

As if he couldn't control his movements and only seemed to seek comfort for in his erratic body sensations

"Just what the hell happened?" Takemitchy panicked. He looked at Mikey's crumbling form before he started to run towards you, only to be held back by Draken.

"Don't interefere, he'll get mad" Though he was itching to barge into the fight himself

Different. You were no joke. You weren't to be taken lightly, Draken understood that.

Even mitsuya was watching with baited breaths

Your classmates however felt relief, before all this happened, you were unusually quiet and more brutal

But now here you were using a certain blue-haired classmates technique

Mikey did not have anytime to react before you got in front of his kneeling form. You grabbed his hair to make him look up Your fingers mimicking a gun but what's this

You looked like you really had a gun pointed to his forehead

It was still hard to move for Mikey, he couldn't even breathe properly

It was one of the few times he felt real fear.

"You know, I try really hard to be a good person. But my mouth and my actions don't exactly cooperate." You told him your sincere thoughts

Before knocking him out through the back of his neck

The other members were alarmed but then turned outraged

"You call that a fair fight you b*tch?" "You think we'll let you get away with this?" And other threats and profanities were directed at you

Draken, the most surprised of them, snapped out of his trance. He let go of your teacher that was hooting for your victory but at the same time also trying to scold you

He grabbed Mikey out of the the way as he tried to swing at you.

"It's against my rules to hit girls but ill make an exception for you b*tch" he was very very mad and it was hot you could tell from the way his brows almost touched each other and the raised fist aiming to hit you

"I told you guys I'm at a time crunch, you've already made us late. Stop before I get serious."

Gone was your irritating grin and instead replaced with a face of mixed of deadpan and determination hidden by shadows

Everybody in the vicinity could feel the bloodlust you were unconscious letting loose

You held another plastic knife at your arm

"Take one more step and I'll make sure you won't be able to ever again"

Some of the members felt frozen, you're threat felt real.

As if you've done that before

Draken was getting mad and antsy, he was wondering what was the best course of action

Before he could even have a say on it

Your teacher grabbed the back of your collar and slammed you inside the car

He immediately started it and one of your classmates closed it in his stead

The members, couldn't help but not do anything

In such a short amount of time you had beaten their leader

And made a dramatic escape. Talk about fast 😳

Better watch out y/n they're coming for you lol

DRAKEN:

Now, when you first met this man

Well, remember how the school had something like a celebration? That one episode where the boys played baseball and won? Yeah that one.

Mikey decided to raid the school during that time because apparently “School festival foods are always delicious and cheap”

Anywho, nobody cared enough when they entered the school because most of the students were focused on the games

Who’s gonna tell them they can’t anyways lol

Anyways, When they were about to leave because most of the students were flocking the field, they heard what was being said about class E and they wondered why they were so hostile

So Mikey decided that he wanted to watch so the gang stuck around during the baseball game

Now Draken was honestly apprehensive, He knew the elite school they were currently in had some kind of bad blood between delinquents.

But he was curious about the so-called “outcasts” and “delinquents” of the school

That was when he saw you

Provoking the Basemen who looked vicious enough to kill

The Baseman swung the bat and almost hit you and Isogai if it weren’t for you two moving out of the way.

“Next time, Try swinging like you mean to kill us” You scared the baseman

Balls. That was his first impression of you, You got hella balls

Good job, you’ve impressed Mr. Vice Delinquent here

In the end you guys won, but still got hated on by the “superior” classes which Draken thought was pretty unfair.

They left the school with Mikey on his back cause you know, he probably slept halfway through the game

Next time y’all meet, It would be when he was roaming around anywhere his feet would take him honestly.

Mikey was bing the little sh*t he was and he decided he was not gonna deal with him today.

He found himself in a forest after running away from what he thought were snakes, He looked like he was kind of muddled

Of course he was, He probably got lost but didn’t show it

Anyways that’s when he heard voices and damn, for once he was thankful he heard the noise

He was gonna approach them when he saw Karasuma directly in front of him

When I tell you this boy was shocked but goodness was he good at the stoic game

Because he got surprised his fight or flight reflexes came in and he tried to swing at karasuma

Bad move my guy lol

Yeah, he got stumped. Chest on the ground he couldn’t fathom how fast he was took down, but are we surprised here? It’s daddy Karasuma.

“Who are you and what is your purpose” Daddy I mean karasuma asked, still focused on the match that was currently going on in front of them

Karasuma probably didn’t think of him as a threat

“I got lost.” Was all Draken said, He looked in front of them and finally saw what was currently going on

Red vs blue, and red was the person he took an interest in back in the ball game

Karasuma let him go seeing as Draken wasn’t resisting

They both stood up, with Karasuma lending him a hand.

He dusted himself off and looked in front

“This is a match between the class. It was caused due to disagreements and whichever side wins will decide the fate of a certain individual” Karasuma vaguely explained

He stared at the match for a while, deciding that you guys were not to be messed with.

You were delivering the final blow to your blue-haired companion

“An axe kick” Draken thought, he was seriously itching to fight to now

Just when he thought everything was over, The smaller boy suddenly got up and “clapped?”

He saw the way you flinched and dropped your knife before showing the bitten and bleeding tongue of yours

He didn’t have a clue on what happened but next thing he knows is that the obviously weaker boy had you on what they called an “arm-triangle choke”

“That arm pressing on his cotaroid will make him pass out!” He heard the teacher behind him narrate

“You will hear me out!” The struggling voice of your classmate was heard throughout the field.

You were now turning red and trying to punch Nagisa to loosen his hold on you but to no avail

He had to admit it, the both of you looked so cool in his eyes.

Then the unexpected happened and your hand found the knife that was near you.

You were gonna end it once and for all when the sudden realization hit you

“Huh?” He confusedly thought as he watched you give up “why though, She had this in the bag”

“Hey listen-“ you tried to speak through your opponent’s tightening grip. “That’s enough!” The booming voice of the person next to him shouted “Due to the red team’s surrender, the blue team has won!” He continued

Some of the students rejoiced, Those who were probably part of the blue team he thought.

He moved his body and finally asked Karasuma for the way out of the small campus.

Karasuma was going to escort him like the good and responsible adult he was but Draken rejected him saying that he should congratulate and comfort his students first.

After that he turned around and left.

As soon as school was over though, he found himself waiting at the bottom of the mountain to get to talk to you.

Intrigued was a way to describe himself but he was really just interested in getting to know you.

“Admitting defeat is one of the hardest thing to do, that was a feat, even though I don’t understand why you did when you still had the chance. The name’s Draken” He reached his hand out to you

“Oya, Mister Delinquent saw me fight? You trying to scout me or something” You chuckled “Waiting for me until the end of class. And on a risky mountain like this, I'm not really interested ya know? Draken-san it's really sketchy. You wanna kill me or something?

Gosh the way you said his name was so seductive tho-

Before he could reply though you walked right across him

He was so stiff when you approached him

Almost like he felt the bloodlust leaking out of your body.

"You're so tall Draken-san!" You mocked excitement and leaned closer to him "Why so tense? I'm kidding haha~ You are a delinquent right?"

"Whatever you think" He replied, wanting to take a step back, but hey he still had his pride

"Then I won't feel bad for this" "what-" he started before flinching so bad he dropped his belongings

It happened so fast, too fast for Draken's liking. But why the hell was he scared?

You were behind him, your middle finger poking his neck

He could perfectly feel how vulnerable he was right now

"I sure hope you won't do this again Draken-san! I easily get scared you know?? After all I'm still a lady!"

Gosh the way you still taunted him😻

You let him go "bye bye~!" You snickered before turning around to leave

“Who's trying to kill who here?” He grumbled to himself

He soon turned the other direction too

Now he really was interested in you

BAJI :

Oh to have the attention of Mister Perfect hair himself

He was taking a walk with Chifuyu around the neighbourhood when they caught sight of you

Leaning against a tree, teeth clenched with your hand gripping papers

“The class A is mighty indeed” All 3 of you heard “You probably thought “I’m so cool I’ll ace these exams with no sweat. How mortifying!”

The familiar voice of your teacher was heard behind you.

His words travelled to your ears and you blushed with embarassment.

You had no choice but to look down to hide your flushed face before the appearance of the black robe your teacher always wore along with his disguise was within your range of vision

“Right now you’re just a boastful brat swinging around a rusty sword nyurufufufu” both boys heard the teasing voice of your teacher and saw the way he patted you.

You swatted his hands, or “tentacles” if I may lol, away before throwing your exam results and walking away.

Your teacher chuckled behind you as he too left, following the direction of where you went

“The hell was that” Baji asked after watching the whole scene escalate.

The results of your test papers found their way to Chifuyu’s feet as he picked it up

“Hey you call this a fail? Ranked 13th in year 3, doesn’t that mean she’s in the top twenty? And an 85/100 in math?? This girl is no joke” Chifuyu sweatdropped and exclaimed as he looked around your test paper and results.

“Lemme see that” Baji snatched the papers away from his friend’s hands

“Yup can’t understand a thing except for the results.” He deadpanned while Chifuyu just chuckled

“She must’ve been a genius brat if she did this with no sweat. If I had these results, Bet I’d make my mom cry again, but from joy this time.” He continued

He was seriously thinking of making you tutor him SKSKSKSK

I mean he did take a good look of your features before you stormed off so if ever he saw you again he’d make sure to make an agreement with you.

Well fate was good to him because just after 3 days he saw you again.

His mom had apparently scheduled him an appointment with the library lol

Anyways his mom gave him a ticket which was him getting in to one of the widely-used library in their place, which was your school library.

He was just gonna blow it off at first but then somthing told him he should go so he trusted his guts and went, thank goodness he did because he saw you there sitting with tons of books in front of you

He had to sweatdrop in alarm when he saw how fast you were flipping through pages and writing on your notebook at the same time

But before he could approach you somebody beat him to it, more like a group of people did

“Well if it isn’t an E-class scum” A boy with glasses started “This library is wasted on the likes of you. Pearls before swine, am I right?” He continued

“Beat it scrub, The seat you’re sitting on is mine” One of them continued

Baji was about to interefere, but honestly, you wouldn’t be Akabane y/n if you didn’t taunt them back

“Unfortunately for you clam sh*ts I reserved beforehand” You faced them with your arms behind your head, showing them the slip you got from the librarian as proof

Baji watched this interaction happen while pretending to be reading a book…..that was upside down.

“Have you forgotten? You E-class underachiever can’t defy a class with much better grades than you” The other ugly guy with glasses spoke with confidence

“Oya, then how does that work? I’m on a lower class, but I’ve got much better grades grades than you” You snickered then stuck your tongue out

“D-don’t talk back to me you cheeky b*tch- Hang on, aren’t you the one from the midterms. Akabane y/n ranked 13th overall…” One of the arrogant A class leaders recognised

“Ah~ I see let’s make a bet then, whoever in our class snags the most top rankings. Gets to make the losing class do whatever they want.” He went closer to you and swung a hand over your shoulders

You could literally just smell the insecurity radiating off of him

Looking at every single one of their faces, you faced forward, in hopes of controlling yourself from lashing out

“What’s wrong? Chicken? All bark and no bite. We’re perfectly willing to risk our lives on the line” Another one of their ugly faces went closer to yours

“Hey you pieces of sh*t ganging up on a g-“ The man who was listening to the whole fiasco finally spoke up. But was cut off when he saw the aura you were emitting

Everything was muddy in your mind, it felt like you were underwater

“Risk your lives huh?” Your eyes grew hazy as that sentence repeated over and over again in your head.

That was the exact moment you let your instincts kick in

You grabbed 2 pens that were in front of you, each in one hand. Then swiped to grab the tie of another with one hand. And finally positioned your hands with the pens pointing just a tad bit far from both of their eyes, all while holding one of their tie in one hand.

It was just regular pens, but why the hell did it look like knives, were the thoughts of people glancing at you

You had 3 of them at your mercy.

“You probably shouldn’t be so quick to bet your lives. Especially to someone like me who has a reputation of aggressiveness” Going back to your cheery demeanor but keeping them still

“A-all right then, we have ourselves a deal.” The one you had threatened a pen with announced while back away from your form.

“We’ll show you something worse than death!” “There’s no running now! You’ll regret this!” They all spoke before turning around and making their exit.

“Easy for you to say, you’re the ones running away now!” You shouted at them while snickering and tossing your pen aiming for one of their heads.

It hit the jackpot so you chuckled at him when he turned back to spew obscenities at you.

You were planning on going back to your books since there were no more disturbances, when you moved your head to in front of you, A boy with long hair was already looking at you, both arms propped on the table.

You spoke too soon lol

“Can I help you?” Came your impassive question

“Yeah. You’re kinda cool, Tutor me.” He demanded looking straight into your fiery eyes.

“Sorry, My time isn’t free nor are my efforts.” You scooted back and your chair screeched

“And to be honest” you looked at him up and down before continuing “You aren’t my type.”

He was clad in what he thought was what smart people would wear 🤓 🤓

He kind of saw that happening ngl but still went speechless for a few seconds, while you took your time in arranging your books.

He was about to utter a response when your frame was already off from where he was staring at

“You’re fangs are cute though.” His head snapped to the direction of your voice where you sent him a closed eye grin

“damn”

Best believe you were on his mind even after a few hours later

Way to make Mister Baji Keisuke fall in love with you at first meeting lol.

Part 2 is here

Kind of part 3 I guess lol here

Masterlist // Rules for Requesting

───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────

You never believed in soulmates when you were younger so when your parents told you that your soulmate's first words to you were going to appear on your wrist when you turned a certain age, you were skeptical to say the least.

But when they finally did appear, you hoped it was going to be something simple like "good morning" or "how are you?" or something else.

You weren't expecting for the words, "so uh I guess we'll be working together for this then" marked on your wrist permanently like a tattoo.

So you'll be meeting your soulmate when you two are working on something? Just great.

You groan in frustration as you try to make your way to your next class. Bodies slam into you as people try to navigate through all the chaos that was happening in the hallways. Clutching your backpack like your life depended on it, you spot your last class of the day a few yards ahead of you. One last class to go before the first week of school was over.

You stumble as you trip over someone's foot and you don't turn around to apologize since you were too focused to finish the school day. You open the door to see that most of the students were already there and you feel your face warm up when the teacher immediately stops talking to look at you.

You mumble an apology for being late and awkwardly make your way to the back where you seat was without attracting too much attention to yourself.

Clearing her throat, the teacher continues to talk about whatever she was saying before.

"Anyways, before I was rudely interrupted," she gives you a look which you reply with an eye roll that she thankfully didn't see. "What was I about to say? Oh yeah, I'll be assigning you all a science project that's due in 2 weeks."

You would've spat out your water if you were drinking any at the announcement. Your teacher was assigning a fucking project that was due in 2 fucking weeks?

Like you, many of the other students hated the idea of being assigned a project on the first week of school but the teacher quickly shushed everyone.

"I better not hear any complaints from anyone. I expect you to take this project seriously and to make sure that no one goofs off, I'll be assigning partners." Again, many of the students began to groan and protest but the teacher ignored them and began to call out the partners.

You pay no attention to the teacher but right as you thought your teacher forgot about you, your name was called along with another classmate's name.

"And Y/n L/n with Karl Jacobs. Now, all of you find your partners and sit with them so you two can introduce yourself to each other. I'll be passing around papers that will be explaining the project better as all of you do so."

The name was familiar. Not familiar enough for you to remember him straight off the bat but enough that you knew he was in some of your classes.

You look around the room to see if anyone was heading towards you but everyone was just jumbled together as they made their way to their partners. You saw that some were lucky and were paired with their friends while others were paired with total strangers. You weren't sure if you were lucky or not yourself.

About to think that your partner was absent, a brown haired boy makes.his way to you and awkwardly gives you a smile before sitting down next to you.

"So uh I guess we'll be working together for this then." You widen your eyes as you stutter out a response, "W-Wait.. can you repeat that?"

The boy widens his eyes at you as well. "You're my-" "holy shit you're my-"

You two stop talking as the boy laughs awkwardly, "Sorry, you go first." You feel butterflies flutter in your stomach as the boy gives you a smile.

"Uh sorry as well, I guess we're probably thinking the same thing aren't we? You're my soulmate, right?"

Scrunching your sleeve up, you show him the words tattooed on your wrist and the boy does the same, showing the words "W-Wait.. can you repeat that?" on his wrist.

A huge smile makes its way onto both of you guys faces and from someone else's point of view, it would've looked like you two were crazy.

"I guess so then, luckily I'm partnered with my soulmate and not some random classmate and as you probably already know, I'm Karl." You can't help but laugh a little as you introduce yourself as well.

"I'm y/n, and I guess we are lucky."

Maybe being assigned partners for a project isn't as bad as you thought.

LOVE MONTAGE CH.2 — our first conversation.

w/c: +1.9k words

『 2ND YEAR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL — MAY 』

the only one that left the principal's office with more than just a warning was you, considering you didn't have the best student track record and happened to be sitting next to your class president out of all people.

you could complain much though. even if the boy you tore to shreds didn’t have any major injuries that called for something such as a hospital visit, you still left him with bruises while you didn’t have a single scratch on your face. you were just mad that you got yourself caught, which you’ve learned to avoid on multiple occasions, but it was your fault for physically fighting right in the middle of the school hallway. it was like you were practically asking to be found.

the situation could've been worse. you were mentally preparing yourself for much harsher consequences, but before the either of you were kicked out of the room while you were told your punishment, jungwon had stood up for you. he explained the bullying done on your classmate’s part to which you had to confess all the other occasions you had been verbally insulted by him too. it didn't leave you completely off the hook; it did leave you with a call home and four straight weeks of cleaning your homeroom during the afternoons.

you were skeptical. it kept gnawing at your thoughts throughout the remainder of the week. why did jungwon stick up for you?

it was odd to see another person involving themself into your world, a space that was so well adjusted to only fit you. the concept felt so foreign that you rather feared it.

you started taking notice of jungwon after that single encounter. you watched for his mannerisms in class, the way he talked, the way he acted.

however, you had only managed to gather one thing.

yang jungwon had no flaws on the outside, and you despised that.

he was the model student of your class. he was kind and likable. he was mature and responsible too, gathering the respect of the students and teachers around him. he was filled to the brim with many characteristics you had failed to see in yourself.

“what are you staring at?” a girl leans down and hovers right over your shoulder one day. “yang jungwon? keep dreaming. he may have been nice to you but don’t overthink it. he’s nice to everyone.”

you didn’t like to listen to other people — you didn’t care about them anyways — but those words stuck for a brief moment.

he’s nice to everyone.

you were in the empty living room watching a random show on the small tv screen. it was an extremely outdated model and had it’s annoying glitches but it surprisingly sustained its basic functions.

you were coiled in a thin blanket when the home phone began to ring. with a sigh, you stand up from the couch and drag your feet to the kitchen, since there way no one else to answer it.

you bring the device up to your ear, “hello?”

“y/n, you answered!”

a sense of confusion fills your senses for a handful of seconds, the peppy voice being one of the few you could never get mistaken. it was your cousin's.

“hey, cuz,” you greet her back wearily. “what's going on?”

“my parents are out of the house today so I thought I'd call,” she happily chats from the other end. “I heard from mom that you got into trouble again. I think your homeroom teacher this year is one of her old college friends or something and they gossiped about it.”

“it was just a small fight,” you mutter. “and does she always have to make things her business. I don't like that she keeps tabs on me just to talk about how much of a disgrace I am.”

“I don't like it either, okay?” she sighs, you can hear the dejection in her tone. “I'm not even supposed to be talking to you right now because of her, but as your older and most favorited cousin, I wanted to at least confirm that auntie hasn't skinned you alive yet.”

you chuckle at her words, a bittersweet smile twitching on the ends of your lips, “luckily, I'm still alive. she was mad at me but she's been really tired from work lately, so I'm spared for now.”

“I wish I could visit you,” your cousin complains. you can almost picture the pouty expression on her face. “it's not fair that your school is too far away on foot! I wish I went there so that we could actually hang out. my school is full of nerds! I'm not smart enough to be here and I heard that the high school my parents want me to go to is even worse competition wise.”

“you can do it,” you softly encourage her. “you can do anything you put your mind to. that's how you've always been. and if it's still too hard, tutors exist for a reason.”

you were secretly jealous of your cousin. her education was probably ten times more expensive than any of your belongings combined. you'd kill for an opportunity like that.

“I wish my parents could chill out, you know? it's stupid that they won't let me see you because they can't understand you're not a bad person. I should really convince them.”

“what’s the point of trying?” you say, exasperated. “none of the family likes me.”

it was true for the most part. from the little that you knew, your parents were outcasted on the other’s side of the family due to some deep levels of disapproval you had no idea about. your aunt would never talk about them much, but she did mention when you once pestered her over the matter that they were fairly opposite people that were held to different standards. you assume that was what lead none of your extended family to really be in support of you.

your aunt had taken custody of you with pity that you were an orphan overnight. she nowhere near the best guardian, drowning herself with multiple jobs and growing uptight and unsympathetic because of it. you knew that somewhere deep down she cared. it wasn't love, but she cared.

then, you caused havoc fighting with a girl in elementary by pulling on her hair when she stole your toy, one of the few you actually had the privileged of owning. your aunt saw the whole ordeal as a burden and made you apologize, increasingly getting irritated by your aggressive behavior.

you never listened, however. at first, you continued to cause trouble because it'd get her attention. most kids were whiny and self-centered like that anyways.

as you grow older, that mentality simply morphed into keeping the principle of defending your ground. it happened to spread a tattered repetition to people like your cousin's mother, you other aunt, but you payed no mind.

that's how you were the named problematic child among your family tree, the black sheep.

“well, I like you,” your cousin's voice brings you from out of your deep thoughts. “when I'm old enough to drive and go out on my own, I'll go and see you.”

“you'll probably forget all about me by then.”

“nonsense,” your cousin brushes your comment off. she was only a year older than you, but in your eyes, she treated you like a grandmother would her grandchild. “one day I’m going to be a good cousin that can treat you out to meals like those cool seniors do.”

you hum to appease her before making an excuse to end the call, exchanging goodbyes before hanging up the home phone.

you barely saw your cousin as is, and the last thing you wanted to do was raise your spirits waiting.

cleaning your hoomroom class until it was spotless was like two sides of the same coin.

it was boring and lonely, for one. you didn’t even have anything like music to listen to or a companion to talk with. though, on the other hand, it gave you something to do. you sometimes pretended that it was a mission of some sorts, that way it’d make you feel like you had some sort of purpose.

plus, it meant that you didn’t have to go home right away. there wasn’t much difference considering that you were alone in either case, but it was a decent change of pace that worked just fine.

“this is your punishment, huh?” a voice broke through the silence. “classroom duties after school?”

“for a month,” you sigh in frustration, blowing a stray piece of hair from your face. “now leave me alone.”

jungwon hoists himself on top of a random desk close to where you’re standing, making himself rather comfortable despite your words.

he had tried to approach you after the incident, but you had already gone back to ignoring him again. he thought that finally cornering you like this would gauge some sort of conversation from you, and like he predicted, it did.

“no can do, y/n.”

“how do you know my name?”

“we’re classmates,” jungwon says in slight confusion. “don’t you know my name?”

“no.”

“oh,” he pouts, quickly masking his disappointed expression with a welcoming smile. “well, I’m yang jungwon.”

he extends his hand for a handshake that you promptly ignore, too busy soaking your mop in a bucket of water.

“didn’t ask,” you mutter.

jungwon hesitates, awkwardly asking, “aren't you going to thank me for putting in a good word for you to the principal before I left?”

you huff, “why would I? I didn't ask you to do that.”

jungwon's face twists at your attitude, “I was just trying to help.”

“well, don’t get in my way next time,” you harshly mop the floor. “I’ll handle things the way I want to handle things.”

“you could’ve gotten in serious trouble.”

“and why do you care?”

he didn’t have a good answer to that. why did he care so much?

jungwon blinks, “a classmate of ours was treating you unfairly. you didn't deserve to take all the blame.”

“he's in our class? I didn't know that,” you speak aloud distractedly, trying to block out his sentiment lingering in the back of your mind.

one thing you hated more than yang jungwon was false hope.

jungwon feels like he should’ve have been surprised by your statement considering you didn't even know his name two seconds ago.

“yeah, he sits somewhere in the back,” when he hears your lack of response, he decides to speak again. “where'd you learn to punch like that anyways? you kind of looked scarily good at it.”

“I just kind of picked it up one day,” you shrug with your gaze directed on the floor. “when no one else will defend you, you have to look out for yourself.”

“you don’t have to go through all that alone, you know?”

“sure,” you snort, not taking his words seriously. “and who will be there for me? you?”

“yeah, why not?” jungwon replies innocently. “if someone ever says something bad about you again, then come to me. I’ll take care of it.”

“listen closely, yang jungwon,” you stop what you're doing and meet his eyes. “I don't need your pity. you don't know anything about me, and I sure as hell don't know anything about you. let's keep it that way, yeah?”

you leave the classroom, mop in hand, hoping that he'll be gone by the time you finish returning everything to the supply closet.

and as you hoped, he was.

(part 1) (part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7)

Chapter 1: Genius Little Ladybug

★—–—–†–—–—★

It all started when Sabine Cheng and her parents moved from China to America, where she met a rich boy named Tony, they weren't the best of friends at first, but they would always get into crazy shenanigans because of Tony. Sabine always finding a way to get them out of it. After a while they were practically inseparable, they had each others backs, both in the good times, and the bad.

So when Tony lost both his mother and father in a tragic car accident, and had to take over his parents company, she was there to try and ease the pain. It helped a little, but the boy changed and blocked out many people, only keeping a select few close to him. His personality changed, and he started to act differently, it saddened Sabine, but she knew it was his way of coping with his lose.

She would oftentimes find him crying silently in his office. When Tony opened a branch in Paris France, he was paranoid something would go wrong when he wasn't there, so he had Sabine become a sort of co-CEO for the Paris branch. Over the many years of her being a sibling-in-everything-but-blood to Tony, her intelligence was much higher than everyone in the company, other than said boy.

She moved to Paris not long after, always keeping an eye on both the Paris branch and Tony ( because god knows what would happen if she didn't do so). She even met a baker named Tom Dupain. Eventually dating, and marrying him. Tony wasn't the most eager when he heard of Tom, but he accepted him as family (not because if he didn't Sabine would knock some sense into him). He practically exploded with excitement when he heard we would be an uncle a few years after Sabine's wedding.

Tony was there in the waiting room with Tom, when Sabine was having the child ( Tony denies not having a mini heart attack when the nurse came in). Both men looked at the beautiful child through the glass. Tony was put to tears when he read her name "Maria Dupain-Cheng" and was comforted by a teary Tom.

When Maria was 9 months old, her Uncle Tony came to spend time with her, and talk business with Sabine. None of them expected Maria to crawl her way into their conversation and say "Uncle Tony" in the sweetest most adorable laugh both adults had ever heard. Tony had a massive grin on his face, and gave Maria a big hug and lots of kisses saying " I knew i was your favorite hahaha, and you're only 9 months old. Sabine I think we got a little genius on our hands." Sabine was just as happy and told Tom to hurry and grab the camera.

"Come on say it one more time my dear Maria, show your papa who your favorite adult is" Tony said with a very wide grin.

Maria giggled at her uncle's happiness, clapping her hands. "Uncle Tony, Uncle Tony" Tom just smiled giving his baby girl a kiss and handing Tony 10 Euros.

Tony continued to visit his little genius niece over the years. Maria ended up getting the best education a kid could get, becuase his logic was " If she is a genius (which she is) then she is going to have the best education money can buy, for nothing is to much for my Little Genius Maria!" and with that she could officially be called the smartest kid in all of Paris... heck probably in all of Europe even! So when she gained a passion for fashion at 4, Tony didn't hesitate to get her, her very first (kid friendly) sewing set. By the time Maria was 5 she already knew how to speak and write in French, English, Spanish, Russian, and is learning Mandarin.

Maria had met Chloé when they were both 6, although they weren't really friends, they were polite to each other, which surprised a lot of the other kids their age. She had met Alix a few months later. She spent a lot of the time she wasn't studying with her friends, Alix would get in trouble with another kid on the playground, Chloé would criticise the other kid, and Maria would talk to Alix and then apologize to the other kid. Overall, they had a good dynamic going on, and they (as 7 year olds) promised to always have each others backs to the very end.

When Maria was 3½ months away from her 9th birthday, Tony was kidnapped. Maria just broke down, she wanted to help her Uncle, but she didn't know where he was or how she could help if she did. For three months Maria would only speak to Chloé and Alix (they were kinda shocked to find out she was related to THE Tony Stark). A few days before her birthday, Tony came to their home, with rolls of fabric, flowers, and 'I'm sorry cards'. Maria jumped into his arms crying asking what happened, and "If you're the smartest man on the Earth, why the Heck did it take you so long? How did you get out? Are any of your vital organs hurts? Do you need to go to the Hospital? An-"

"Hey slow down My Little Genius Maria, I'm ok. 1, They didn't really give me much to work with at first, and there is only so much a genius like myself can do with so little resources, and time before your Birthday. 2, I made an anime mecha suit and flew out guns a blazing. 3, Nothing I can't live without. and 4, No because I'm spending the week with you lot before a conference I have in about 10 days." He said while holding his small little genius  in his arms.

Wiping away the tears she looked her Uncle in the eyes "Wait, you 'made an anime mecha suit and flew out guns a blazing?' How does it work? what's its power source? And why do you have a weird glowing device in your chest?!" He had a lot of explaining to do.

That week, in her words was 'The best week of her life.' She was really happy for the first time since the Tony-napping happened, although she was sad he had to go, she knew  he was safe, and that she didn't have to worry (as much) now.

When Maria was 13, both Tony and Sabine decided to have her go to public school with her friends. After hearing this Maria called for a meeting, her two commanders (Alix and Chloé) came for the meeting, and had a talk on how she should go about her first day of public school, asking questions like 'How do non-homeschooled kids act? What are their personalities like? What interests do they have? Are some barbaric like Alix is sometimes? Will they like me? Am I allowed to talk to Chloé in or only out of class? What are the seating arrangements? Who do I sit next to?' the list goes on. They were all excited to finally all be in the same study environment, now all they had to do was wait for their first day.

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

The night before her first day Maria may or may not have slept well due to her excitement, she woke up a little later than she ever would have preferred, getting breakfast, her clothes, the 'greeting sweets' (as Alix called them) and heading out in a slight panic.

On her way out she noticed an elderly man with a cain crossing the street, and a car coming a little faster than what was allowed, she pulled the man out of the cars way without losing any of the sweets, after making sure the man was ok, she gave him a sweet before saying good day and heading over to school. She never noticed the man walking away without the use of his cain.

She still got to class on time, when her teacher walked in she greeted everyone in the class "Bonjour, je m'appelle Maria Dupain-Cheng, c'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer! (Hello, my name in Maria Dupain-Cheng, it is a pleasure to meet you!)" after the introductions she sat down in the empty seat next to Alix, both giving a fist bump, and a smile to Chloé, who looked away as if she didn't care (the girl had an image to keep after all). When class was over she handed out the sweets and went with her friends to lunch. During lunch, one of the other students from a different class was mocking one of their classmates that Maria remembered as Ivan, for having a crush on Mylène and not saying how he really feels to her. Ivan ran off into one of the locker rooms, and Maria decided to go and comfort him, she explained that she overheard what happened and that he should try and tell Mylène about his feelings, listing many different things he could do or say, and that he should stay positive.

Ivan thanked Maria afterwards and went off to write a song for Mylène. Ivan later showed Mylène the song he wrote for her, but was teased by other students near them, Ivan ran away not wanting to be embarrassed more.

Back in the classroom Alix and Maria are sitting and talking when everyone hears crashing and screams outside, the class looked out to see a giant rock thing destroying everything  on its way to the school. The teachers sent the kids home in an attempt to keep them safe.

When Maria got home she noticed a small box with writing she didn't recognize, she carefully opened it, instantly releasing a glow of bright red-ish pink light.

"Greetings Maria Dupain-Cheng, I am Tikki, the Ladybug Kwami of creation and good Luck, it is a pleasure to meet you." Maria couldn't believe her eyes "Mon dieu..." was all she could say, before going full interrogation mode "You're a Kwami? What is that? How are you floating like that? How am I able to understand you? Do you have some sort of ability to communicate in any language?How did you fit in this box? w-"

"There is no time, Paris needs you! I can only explain the powers I grant and how to use them, so please listen carefully."

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

Soon Maria was running in a red suit with black spots and amor. She ended up facing the 'akuma' as Tikki called it in a stadium, meeting her partner (a blonde furry she decided) for the first time.

"Bonjour m'lady, so what's the plan to take this thing down?"

Without hesitation she explained her plan " The plan is for you to have your Cataclysm ready, I'll give you a signal when it's your-"

"Cataclysm!"  The boy proceeded to use his ONE attack on a GOAL POST!

"I said to wait for a SIGNAL! Now you only have five minutes before you power-off."

"Oops" The blonde was really wasting her more useful braincells. After the boy was thrown out of the stadium, Maria was left to fend for herself, and she did really well, considering this was her first non(but sort of) official villain fight, up until she lost her footing and was knocked into the side of the stadium. The akuma was gone before she could get back, more and more people were turned to stone, but it showed just where Stoneheart was heading.

She arrived at the Eiffel Tower, where blonde was fighting stone people, he just managed to get away and actually listened to the plan this time.

They defeated Stoneheart, Maria gave her speech to the villain, and did a fist bump (though at this point Maria just wanted to get some sleep), when a reporter came to interview them.

"What are your names, and where did you come from?"

"My name's Chat Noir an-"

"Ladybug, and we're hear to protect Paris from Moth-Man, as much as we would love to give you a bit more details, we don't have much time at the moment" right on que their Miraculous' beeped signalling they had 2 minutes left " Stay safe, and positive, Bug-Out. "

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

"Well done Maria!"

"Thanks Tikki." and with that Maria went downstairs to get something to eat, when she saw her parents watching the news.

"Earlier today Paris gained a villain and two heroes: Ladybug, and Chat Noir. Many of our viewers submitted pictures and videos, but only one of Ladybug came out clear."

"Thank you Ladybug and Chat Noir for protecting us, bonne journée à Paris."

.................

"Maria you're taking self-defense classes starting tomorrow" Sabine spoke, though Maria didn't have any complaints, plus it'll help when fighting akumas so it's a win win.

"Yes maman."

•~~~~~later in Maria's room~~~~~•

"Ok, so you're basically goddess of creation personified into a cute little Ladybug creature?"

"Kwami, but yes."

"And you've existed since basically the Big Bang?"

"Correct."

"... how are you able to float like that? How are we able to talk without any ancient god language in the way? And what other kinds of um kwamis are there?"

"I float with magic. Yes their is a language only for the Kwami, but we've learned every other language in existence, so there would never be an issue with communication. And to your last question, there are many different kinds of Miraculi all over the world, some even across the universe, so I am unable to list every single one in existence, but there are just as many Miraculi out there as there are starts in the sky."

"Impressive... does that mean I could learn magic?"

"As a human you are limited to what you can do with magic, but you have a strong creation soul. So yes it is possible for you to learn basic magic, I can teach you some life magic to help you heal quicker if you get hurt outside the suit. You can also learn other types of basic magic based on what Miraculous you are most aligned to. Surprisingly you have a close affinity to most of my brothers and sisters that are here in Paris."

"Are they in the hands of other Miraculous users?"

"... aside from Chat Noir, only two: one belongs to the Guardian, and the other to Hawkmoth."

"What are their names?"

"...Wayzz is Kwami of Protection, and is the partner of the Guardian. The other is Nooroo Kwami of Transmission, Hawkmoths Kwami.

"Ok, so then I assume the 'Guardian' is who you were with until now, right?"

"That is correct."

"And how was I chosen exactly?"

"The Guardian chose you because he saw your kindness in action, and sensed your strong Creation Soul, he has only ever been wrong once, but I can tell you will be a great Ladybug, maybe even one of the few who achieved a higher sence of life."

"... I feel like you kind of described a Sage, also how would he have seen an act of kindness, I mean, I got my things, went out helped an older man with a cain, wait."Maria squinted her eyes at Tikki as if looking for something.

"The elderly man's the Guardian isn't he?"

"..."

"I get it, you don't have to tell me, it's all apart of the 'plot' like some show, I get it. Welp, good night Tikki, have to get up early tomorrow."

"Good night Maria." Tikki never messed up so badly before, then again she never had a user with such a strong Creation Soul before either... Maria is something special.

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

And Tikki was right, she excelled at Life Magic, learning a fair bit of healing, luck and slight plant manipulation and communication magic. Tikki wasn't sure if she should be proud of her Bug, or scared at her fast learning skills.

A few weeks passed and Maria was thankful for the self-defense classes, she even started doing her own training routine with Tikki guiding her. She didn't like that her partner was a flirt, it got distracting and almost got Chat killed a few times. She often wondered 'what the hell did I do in my past life to get a partner like this?'

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

Tony Stark was called by Sabine to meet her earlier than they had planned, she informed him that Paris now has a villain and two heroes.

"Ok, so what's the problem? We agreed to put Maria in self-defense classes so she would be safe... is it a boy?! Don't tell me it's a boy, she's to young to be dating!"

"It's not about a boy."

"Then what is this about?"

"She's Ladybug, *sigh* I swear she gets it from you Tony. She learned it from your dumb@ss, and it didn't help the need to protect people she loves when you got kidnapped. I need you to teach her how to be a good hero, good combat strategist, and to give her your support. She already has a tactical mind, I'm proud in a way that she shares your bravery."

"Ffffffffudge... ok, where is she?"

"Upstairs."

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

After a slightly awkward conversation Maria started to get even more training, and became a pretty much badass on the field, she incorporated the known fighting styles of: Black Widow (her favorite hero), Captain America, Deadpool (favorite hero to some degree), Daredevil, Wolverine, and some moves from famous villains like, Kraven The Hunter, Red Skull, Doctor Doom, Scorpion, Shocker, and Taskmaster ( her favorite villain). And she used ALL of those skills in battle, it was damn impressive to watch, and then Sabine had a talk with Tony.

〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜Bonus〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜

"Ok Tony wtf? I asked you to teach her how to fight for protection when she's out there, But you turned her into a complete badass, I mean none of the akumas have lasted more than 10 minutes with her! I want to hug you and kick your @ss at the same time."

" Sorry not sorry Sabine, but she is our Genius Little Ladybug after all."
