It’s killing me that the walls are the most interesting part but you can’t see them aaaaaaaaa

Yo! Your work has interested me very much. I'm also glad that the rules are detailed, it makes it easier to make a request.

Can I request Wise and Belle (separately) with reader who likes to cuddle? The reader literally becomes a koala ; on a walk he loves to hold hands or just be close. It is true happiness to be in the arms of a loved one~If you don't like the request, then feel free to skip it !

[Stares lovingly at a photo card]

Oh to cuddle the babies. But it is just a dream~

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I always like to do the little domestic pieces with characters, you can really explore how they would act. Also love giving Wise and Belle some attention!

✦ Wise is the perfect height to be clinged on. I don’t think he’ll mind being pressed up against, if anything he’d pull you closer if in public. His excuse is so you don’t get lost or that other pedestrians can walk by without running into you both. But you don’t mind, in fact you’ll play with his fingers when he does this, clutching his sleeve or swinging his arm beside each other. The physical contact makes him happy, tightening his hold on you,afraid you’d grow cold if he lets you go.

✦ When cuddling, I find that Wise’s room is very relaxing and would probably have speakers around so while you both are laying together on his large bedding, you could play some relaxing ambience noise that help you both fall asleep. That or he plays his documentary on his Tv, allowing you to crawl up on his chest and wrap around his waist to stay close by.

✦ His slim fingers run through your hair, scratching at your scalp in a soothing rhythm before traveling down to your neck and back. Rubbing circles over your shirts before pressing kisses on your forehead and temples. You can’t see it but he’s just staring fondly at how peaceful you are, should you snore he chuckles to himself and wipes away any drool you might have. 

✦ When he’s the cuddler, he’s a grumpy riser so his defense is to groan in your ear and curl up around you so don’t have a chance to leave. He could pin you to his chest, your back to him so he can tickle your sides and wrap around your stomach, his hands warm on your exposed skin. Taking in your scent as he nuzzles into your neck, complaining about how it’s too early to get up and that he wants to stay like this a little longer.

✦ Sweet girl, she’s hold your hand as she drags you around to her favorite shops. Fingers intertwined before occasionally leaving kisses on your knuckles, a joyful smile on her face as you laugh at her mannerisms. Skipping side by side, whenever you want to go somewhere you’ll wrap an arm around her shoulder and gently lead her away, seeing how she’s shorter than you so she willingly follows your lead.

✦ Personally, I love Belle’s room as it’s a fun vibe all around. Though messy, with the two of you guys cuddling on the bed, she can’t help but think she’s constantly showing you memes on her phone or any news update on inter-knot. You both are wired in together, sometimes Eous joining the both of you on the bed for a mild recharge, Belle teasing his ears while you squish his little arms. 

✦Belle is a deep sleeper, so should she fall asleep on the couch while you both are watching a movie, you can carry her back to her bed. Though in her sleep, she’ll pull you in and have you sleep in with her, forcing herself into your chest as she feels secure in your arms and yawning loudly with a smile on her face. Sweet dreams for her, surrounded by your embrace and smell.

✦ Between the two of you, your both kinda starfish sleepers. The difference being that Belle will lay on top of you, your arms holding her like a plushie that breathes and is warm. She’s always the little spoon, trapped in your arms that you both always decide that you aren't getting up today. But she’ll never miss the opportunity to wake up beside you, lovingly starting as she tucks your hair back from your face.

'Pick Up The Phone.⋆♱☠︎︎

GhostFace!Hobie Brown / BlackFem!Reader Ingredients: Lemon Zest, salt and tears, and low sugar. (Suggestive, angsty, v little fluff.) TWs: Swearing, YOU LITERALLY DIE!! HOBIE KILLS YOU!, biting kink, murder W/C: 1k! A/N: You get manhandled by Hobie. That's it bae there's no love

It was a freezing cold night, the wind whistling as the rain pattered against your window. You hummed to yourself as you walked back and forth between your kitchen and bedroom, placing more snacks on your nightstand with each trip. You decided to cancel your plans with your friends tonight due to the weather and stay warm and happy under your blanket. After dragging half of your pantry into your bedroom, you threw your phone down on the top of the blanket and made yourself comfortable. You surfed through Netflix to find something entertaining to watch before your phone rang loudly next to you.

There wasn't a caller ID, so you let it ring as you continued to surf through the various shows and movies on all your streaming platforms until your phone rang again...somehow louder? You sighed as you declined the call, adamant about not taking calls from unfamiliar numbers. It was likely your psycho ex, so you brushed it away, turning on a random movie. The soft ambiance of 'My Girl' filled your bedroom, stuffing your hand into a bag of hot fries as you pulled your blankets up slightly. All was well for about 5 minutes until you got the same call again.

You groaned loudly, holding yourself back from throwing the remote halfway across the room as you paused your movie to answer the call with an extremely irritated "WHAT!?" There was no noise only the other end for a brief moment, followed by a low chuckle as you could almost hear the strangers grin. "Don't be like that...Why don't you wanna chat with me, lovey?" The strange voice asked. It was unfamiliar, and laced with a thick and heavy Londoner accent. It would have been hot, but due to the circumstance, you felt nothing but confusion. "Who is this?" You replied, fight-or-flight senses telling you immediately that something was wrong.

"C'mon, Dove, you tell me your name n I'll tell you mines." He spoke, that voice ringing in your ears like the most seductive lullaby you had ever heard. "Sorry, Mr. Mysterious...that's not how we get down around here." You enunciated, being extremely mindful that this was a stranger on the other line. He chuckled coldly as his once charming and flirtatious giggle turned slightly crazed and deranged before muttering a small "Thas' alright...cute outfit you're wearin'. See you soon." Your eyes shot open as he hung up the phone, giving you no time to process anything of what he said before you ran to make sure all doors and windows were locked. Sure, it could've just been some sort of sick prank call. But down here? Oh no baby we don't take chances.

The next 10 minutes were hell as you turned off the TV, quickly locking yourself in your room with a kitchen knife. You hushed your breathing, allowing yourself the full advantage of pure silence to scope out any threats or unusual noises. You fumbled with your phone as you went to dial 911 with your shakey hands. "Yes, hello?" You whispered. "I need the police here immediately, there was a call...I think someones gonna attempt to break into my house."

"Okay, stay on the line we'll-" The call dropped. "FUCK!" You shouted as you attempted to recharge your dead phone. There was a loud crash that sounded that breaking wood, biting back tears as you slipped into the closet as silently as possible. There was a series of thuds that sounded like heavy boots before your doorknob began to jiggle. Whoever was on the other end wanted in, and they wanted in BAD.

There was silence as you let go of a breath you were holding, relaxing slightly as you leaned back on a coat in your closet in relief. All of that serenity left your body when you heard the loudest bangs and cracks of your life, watching through the crack of the closet as your door came flying off its hinges. Tears flooded your vision as you attempted to stay calm, biting down on your finger to prevent yourself from screaming at the top of your lungs.

"Oh, you...what you think I'm stupid?" The man spoke as he waltzed into your room. He was tall...REALLY tall. He wore a rather scratched ghost face mask and all-black clothing, a crop top that had the arms ripped off, and a multitude of belts that held up his low-rise tight jeans. "You think I'm some sort of joke, dove?" He chuckled before pausing in front of the closet, facing the direction of the window before plunging his fist straight through the wood, grabbing you by your hair, and ripping you out with a feverish smile. "See, there you are pretty girl..." He cooed as he watched you scream and squirm, attempting to shank him repeatedly with the knife.

He quickly used his free hand to grab your wrist, pulling you up on your feet by a fistful of your hair as he quickly threw the knife away from your grasp. "C'mon, don't fight me dove, I only wanna talk to you..." he continued to coo as he held you painfully tight, fearing he'd break your spine as he held you flush against his chest. You sobbed into his chest, biting and scratching as he only groaned lowly at the sensation. "Hmm...'s not gonna 'urt me. It'd do the opposite actually" he laughed, cold and heartless. You utilized the fact that your legs were left to dangle, delivering a sharp knee to his groin and slipping away from him.

You didn't even wait to see his reaction as you grabbed your phone and ran out of your apartment. You screamed as loud as you could, chest heaving and throat burning from your rapid and strained breathing. It hurt, every single time you breathed it felt like fire. You rounded the corner, practically flying down the stairs as you dialed up 911 on your phone. Tears silently coursed down your face as you relaxed, attempting to catch your breath.

There was a sharp pain and a seemingly innocent giggle. You looked down to see a knife plunged straight into your stomach, painting your beautiful pajama set in a shade of ruby. You turned to look behind you, seeing another ghost face mask, only this one's hair was fully visible. Long, silky, brown hair flowed from the top of his mask as he muttered a low "There's always two, new guy."

The tall, 'emo' one descended the stairs slowly, looking you straight through your soul through his mask, lifting it up so you could see his unfortunately gorgeous features. "G'nite, love." He spat, delivering a kiss to your forehead, cupping both sides of your face in his hands oh so gentle hands.

*crack!*

ot8 bf!skz reacts|| reader has a nightmare

No warnings just fluff. I tried to keep the reader as GN as possible. Feedback is greatly appreciated. If you have an idea you want me to write, feel free to ask ;p

Some of these are shorter than others because I ran out of ideas. I haven't written in a while so I apologize if it's garbage quality.

Scenario:

You had been invited to hang out with all of the boys at the dorms for a movie/game night(even though it was barely 7 pm). It was a rare time when everyone's schedules aligned perfectly and you could all just relax and have a good time enjoying each other's company.

After a few rounds of Just Dance with DanceRacha, some karaoke with VocalRacha, and a looong boardgame with 3racha you were beginning to get drowsy. Of course your lovely boyfriend noticed this and led you to his bed to take a nap and rejoin the others once you've recharged.

You had drifted into a peaceful slumber when you suddenly jolted awake teary-eyed and sweaty. You took in your surroundings and slowly got up and tip-toed down the hall to find your boyfriend.

Chan:

He was sitting on the couch with a tired Seungmin laying on his shoulder getting ready to watch a movie when you walked into the living room. When he noticed you approaching him, he leaned Seungmin on Changbin's shoulder and opened his arms for a hug. You plopped yourself on top of him and he pulled you tight to his chest. You mumbled something to him that he couldn't quite make out. "hmm, what was that?" You slightly moved your head away from his shoulder and repeated yourself, "I had a nightmare" He gave your shoulders a squeeze and asked, "You wanna talk about it?" You shook your head, "No, I just want cuddles" He turned you around so you were facing the TV so you'd be able to watch the movie. "Ok then, love you" he wrapped is arms around your waist and laid his head on your shoulder. You leaned into his touch, "I love you, too Channie"

Minho:

He was in the kitchen with Felix making soup and dessert for the movie. Minho was cutting vegetables when you snuck behind him and wrapped your arms around his waist pressing your face to his back. He let out a satisfied hum and turned to face you. "Hi, baby. Wanna help?" He knew you were extra soft/clingy when you woke up from a nightmare, so you didn't need to tell him about it. You nodded as he handed you a measuring cup, "I need 1/2 cup of broth" You listened to his instructions and completely forgot about the nightmare by the time the soup was finished. "Feel better?" He whispered as he pulled you into a hug. "A lot better," You whispered back to him with a squeeze around his waist and a smile on your face.

Changbin:

He was on the couch, scrolling on his phone while the others picked the movie when you crawled into his lap and squeezed him in a hug. He let out a chuckle, "What's gotten into you? Is everything alright, baby?" He was slightly concerned with how you were acting because you usually weren't that affectionate in with him in front of the boys. You hugged him even tighter and mumbled something to him, "Just a bad dream" he patted your head trying to comfort you, "It's ok now, it was only a dream" He then pulled you back a little bit to cup your face in his hands and give you a kiss on the nose. "I love you, baby" You kissed his nose in return and repeated the words back to him with a smile, "I love you the most Changbinnie"

Hyunjin:

He was on his way to check on you because they were about to start the movie. He didn't want you to feel bad for missing it, so you met him at the end of the hallway, "Jinnie?" You nearly tackled him to the floor with the sheer force of your hug. He was surprised to say the least, but he still returned your warm embrace, "Baby? What's going on, are you alright?" You pulled your face away from him to reply, "Nightmare, but I'm ok" He hugged you tighter, "Are you sure?" You knew how he was and that he would continue with all his questions if you didn't stop him soon so you quickly spoke up, "Yes, Jinnie, everything is ok now because I get to hold my boyfriend and I know nothing bad will ever happen because he's a really strong guy and he'll protect me from anything in the world, so I promise I'm ok" He let out a breath in relief and continued hugging you, "Wanna watch the movie now? I hear Jisung picked out a comedy for us to watch" You smiled at him, "I'd love to"

Jisung:

As you neared the end of the hall, you could hear Jisung and Jeongin bickering about what movie to put on. Once you entered the living room, Jisung immediately sprang up to ask your opinion on the matter, "Baby! What movie should we watch a horror movie or a comedy?" You shivered at the thought of watching a horror film right after that horrible nightmare, "I just woke up from a nightmare, so a comedy would be perfect right now" Jisung instantly frowned after learning about your nightmare, "Oh my poor baby, why didn't you say so sooner," He tackled you into the couch in a hug and didn't let go until you were mumbling about not being able to breathe and sprung up from you, "Comedy it is then," Jeongin only laughed at the scene because Jisung was the one who wanted to watch a horror film in the first place. Jisung was only pretending to be offended at this though, "Jeongin, stop laughing! My Baby gets what my Baby wants" He let out a huff and you couldn't help but giggle at him. He smiled at you and cuddled up to you on the couch to watch the movie.

Felix:

He was in the kitchen with Minho making dessert while Minho was working on the soup for dinner. He had just put the brownies in the oven when you surprise attacked him with a back hug. He giggled and turned to face you, maintaining the hug, "What's up, Baby?" You mumbled out an answer for him, "Nightmare," He pulled you in and hugged you tightly for a few seconds before speaking, "I hear the boys wanna watch a comedy. How about you sit with Chan and watch the movie to take your mind off it and I'll cuddle with you when the brownies are done, hmm?" You gave him a peck on the cheek, "Tell those brownies to hurry up because I want my Lixie cuddles," He chuckled at your cuteness, "Alright I'll tell them to hurry up and bake faster," He joked back with a kiss to your forehead before you made your way to the couch with Chan.

Seungmin:

He was asleep with his head on Chan's shoulder when you plopped yourself on his lap and cuddled into his warmth with a kiss to his forehead. He stirred awake when he felt you cuddling into him even more, "Baby?" You could see the confusion on his face, "Nightmare," you explained and he sat upright and hugged you tight running his nimble fingers through your hair just the way you like it. You relaxed into his touch and slowly fell asleep on his lap and he followed suit shortly after you. Chan cooed at the scene before him and snapped a couple of photos to show you two later. Seungmin was going to be teased to death in the group chat when he woke up.

Jeongin:

He was sitting at the coffee table facing away from you when you walked into the living room arguing with Jisung about what movie they should watch. They kept bickering until you tapped your boyfriend on his shoulder to get his attention. He turned to face you, "What's up, Baby?" "I...had a nightmare," you mumbled to him. He immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen with you hot on his tail, "What are you doing, Innie?" He got a glass from the cupboard and filled it with water. He handed you the glass, "Drink up," After you finished your water, he brought you back to the living room and cuddled you the entire night, even after the movie ended.

Bed rotting: ND kids did it first

Oh boy my first blog post!

A couple months ago I had the Kelly and Mark show on at the waiting room at the urgent care I used to work at. I worked the front desk so I had full view of what was going on before the company I worked at said we apparently need a license to play tv in a medical facility.

Mark and Kelly talked about a Gen Z trend called “bedrotting”. Idk about you but I thought they were going to talk about dying in bed or something.

Nope.

Bed rotting by no formal definition is basically spending time in your bed by choice. Some people doom scroll on their phones, some might watch Netflix and others might do face masks n stuff. I tend to do all of the above.

Gen Z is calling this a form of self care. Now, I’m 26 and was born in 1996. In the words of Brittney Broski “Those born 1994-1998, what are we really?” Which if that’s not the truth idk what is. Am I a millennial or Gen Z? Some charts say one or the other but I like the term Zillennial. So yes in a way I can relate to Gen Z.

I heard Kelly and Mark talk about how it’s a “trend” and as they rambled on about it I realized something.

I’ve been spending my weekends bed rotting since middle school. I would have people make fun of me for it. Like it’s the weekend, I’m a exhausted teenager that is people’d out from the school week and this is the time to rest and recharge. Neurodiverse kids have been bed rotting before it was a “trend”

I find it amazing that something I was picked on and given a hard time about by my peers is now trendy.

Well, I don’t know so much about trendy but they are finding the joy of just kicking back, relaxing and recharging. Even better we are calling it self care because let me tell you, in this fast paced culture we need a break and you can’t be your best when you’re running on a somewhat charged battery.

I work in healthcare as a front desk admin. I would see the patients first and help them get signed in and registered at the urgent care I used to work at. I was very often there alone checking people in, answering the phone, etc. Things would go from 0-100 at any minute. I once had FOUR emergent patients come in at once, thankfully only one of them was truly emergent. Although I’m trained as a medical office admin and have 8 years customer service, it would get though as a ND woman. So after work I basically would change into something comfortable and just browse away on my phone.

yeah that’s what I wanted to talk about today. Take care of yourselves y’all! Happy bed rotting!

7 tips for staying consistent in your studies

Consistency is the key to success! But let’s be honest, maintaining consistency in learning can be as difficult as finding the motivation to actually start learning. So, how do you stay consistent and avoid endless procrastination? Here are 7 tips that can help you stick to your study plan and achieve your study goals:

1. Prepare the right lesson plan:

Ah, the good old lesson plan! It’s like a magical tool that promises potential and efficiency. But hey, let’s be real, shall we? It is important to create a schedule that fits your daily routine and preferences. Don’t just copy some generic timetable online and expect miracles. Tailor it to your needs and stick it somewhere you can’t ignore, like your bedroom wall or study desk. Bonus points if it glows in the dark!

2. Cut out distractions:

Ah, social media and cell phones, the ultimate villains in business! These apps are designed to catch your attention and hold you captive. So, try turning off your social media notifications or even better, keep your phone in a separate room to stay consistent in your studies. Trust me, Instagram can wait. And imagine how happy your friends will be when they realize that you can’t give them daily gossip updates!

3. Exercise for a new perspective:

All work and every play makes Jack a skinny boy, right? So, make sure you include some exercise or participate in your favorite outdoor sport. Not only will you stay healthy, but you will also give your mind a much-needed boost. Because who needs a dull, dull brain when you can have a bright, sharp one? Plus, think of all the eye-rolls you’ll get from not having couch potatoeswho don't know the importance of exercise.

4. Meditation for Relaxation and Focus:

Meditation might not sound as captivating as binge-watching your favorite TV show, but trust me, it can work wonders for maintaining consistency. Just take out 15 minutes every day to meditate and watch the magic unfold. It'll make your mind feel fresh, relaxed, and ready to conquer the world. Say goodbye to stress and hello to improved concentration. Plus, you'll have a new superpower to impress your friends with - the power to stay zen in the chaos!

5. Reward Yourself:

Who doesn't like a reward for their hard work? If you successfully follow your timetable and stay consistent with your studies, you absolutely deserve a treat! So, go out, enjoy yourself with your friends and family, and forget about the books for a while. Treat yourself with something you love, whether it's a slice of pizza, a spa day, or even a shopping spree. Rewards give you the motivation to study and be consistent. Plus, they make life a little more fun!

6. Take Breaks:

Wait, did someone say breaks? Yes, my friend, breaks are important to maintain consistency. Taking short breaks between study sessions can actually freshen up your mind. It's like a power nap for your brain. Some people believe that studying for long hours continuously is beneficial, but let's be real, we're not robots. Taking breaks helps your brain relax and recharge. So, go ahead, take that power nap, grab a snack, or even do a little dance. Your brain will thank you (and so will your dance instructor)!

7. Maintain Discipline:

Discipline, my friend, is the secret ingredient to consistency. Once you set your timetable, stick to it like glue. No matter what distractions or excuses come your way, remember that you're in control. With discipline, consistency becomes a habit, and once it becomes a habit, no force in the world can stop you from achieving your goals. So, embrace the power of self-discipline and become the superhero of your own study journey!

The 3 Formula for Restful Sleep. The Military Method, Wireless Sleep Headphone & The 10-3-2-1 Method

Quality sleep isn’t just about rest; it’s the cornerstone of a high-quality, productive, and happy life. It’s the time when our bodies and minds recharge, repair, and rejuvenate. With insufficient sleep, our physical health, cognitive abilities, and emotional well-being suffer. Now, let’s explore three methods that can help you unlock the secrets to better sleep.

1. The Military Sleep Method |

2. Bluetooth Sleep Headphones |

3. The 10–3–2–1 Method

The Military Method: Sleep Like a Soldier

Here’s how it goes:

Relax Your Face: Start by consciously relaxing your facial muscles. Release the tension from your forehead, eyes, cheeks, and jaw.

Drop Your Shoulders: Imagine a gentle, warm wind pushing your arms down, allowing your shoulders to relax.

Take a Deep Breath: Inhale slowly, focusing on the relaxing effect it has on your stomach. Let it all out — no need to hold it in.

Relax Your Legs: Picture that warm wind again, this time easing your legs down, sinking them into the bed or floor.

Clear Your Mind: Use calming imagery or repeat the words “don’t think” for about 10 seconds to clear your mind. If distractions pop up, gently bring your focus back.

The military method is a quick and efficient way to prepare your body and mind for a peaceful night’s sleep. It’s a battle-tested technique that can help you conquer sleepless nights.

Here’s how the numbers add up to better sleep:

10 Hours Before Bed: Bid farewell to caffeine, allowing your body to unwind without stimulants.

3 Hours Before Bed: Say no to food and alcohol, giving your digestive system a break before bedtime.

2 Hours Before Bed: Wrap up work-related tasks, allowing your mind to transition into relaxation mode.

1 Hour Before Bed: Cut off all screens — phones, TVs, and computers — to reduce exposure to stimulating blue light.

The 10–3–2–1–0 Method sets the stage for a peaceful night’s sleep by gradually winding down your day and creating the ideal conditions for rest.

General Principles for a Good Night’s Sleep

Now that we’ve explored these three fantastic methods, here are some general principles to keep in mind for a consistently good night’s sleep:

Stick to a Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Wind down with activities like reading, gentle stretches, or a warm bath.

Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows.

Limit Exposure to Screens: Reduce screen time before bed, as the blue light can interfere with your sleep cycle.

Watch Your Diet: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime.

Stay Active: Regular exercise can improve sleep quality, but avoid strenuous activity close to bedtime.

By incorporating these methods and principles into your nightly routine, you can pave the way for a high-quality, productive, and happy life — one restful night at a time.

Practice Makes Perfect: Mastering the Art of Sleep

As with any skill, practice makes perfect when it comes to mastering the art of sleep. While the military method, wireless sleep headphones, and the 10–3–2–1 method provide valuable tools for improving your sleep, it’s essential to recognize that consistency and patience play a significant role in achieving long-term success.

Consistency Is Key

Creating a consistent sleep routine is like training a muscle. Your body and mind thrive on regularity, so try to stick to a set bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends. Over time, your internal clock will adjust, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. Consistency also applies to the use of sleep-enhancing methods like the military technique and wireless sleep headphones. Incorporate these practices into your nightly routine, and over time, they’ll become second nature. Your body will learn to associate these techniques with sleep, making it easier to achieve a restful night.

Patience and Persistence

Remember that improving your sleep habits is a journey, not a destination. It’s perfectly normal to experience occasional setbacks, nights of poor sleep, or difficulty implementing new techniques. Be patient with yourself and persistent in your efforts to prioritize sleep. The 10–3–2–1 method, for instance, may take time to fully integrate into your daily routine. Breaking habits like late-night snacking or excessive screen time can be challenging, but with determination and repetition, these changes become more manageable.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to the results of your sleep-enhancing efforts. Keep a sleep diary to track your progress and identify any patterns or challenges. Are you falling asleep faster with the military method? Are you experiencing more restful sleep with wireless sleep headphones? Is the 10–3–2–1 method helping you wind down effectively?

Based on your observations, don’t hesitate to adjust your approach. Perhaps you find that certain elements of these methods work better for you than others. Tailor your sleep routine to fit your individual needs and preferences, and don’t be afraid to seek additional advice or resources if needed.

The Reward of a Good Night’s Sleep

As you commit to practicing and perfecting your sleep routine, you’ll reap the rewards of better sleep quality. Improved cognitive function, increased energy levels, enhanced mood, and overall well-being are just a few of the benefits that come with a good night’s sleep.

So, embrace the journey toward better sleep with patience, persistence, and a willingness to adjust.

With time and effort, you’ll not only master the art of sleep but also unlock the full potential of a high-quality, productive, and happy life — one that begins with a restful night’s sleep.

5 Effective Stress-Reduction Techniques by a Psychiatrist

Stress can have a major impact on our mental and physical health, so it’s important to find ways to reduce stress. As a female psychiatrist in Indore, I recommend the following five effective techniques for reducing stress:

1) Practice Mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness is one of the best ways to reduce stress levels. It involves focusing your attention on what you are feeling in the present moment without judging or analyzing it. This helps us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings while also allowing us to gain perspective over them instead of letting them control us.

2) Exercise Regularly: Physical activity has been proven time and again as an excellent way to release built-up tension from daily life stresses as well as improve mood by releasing endorphins which act like natural antidepressants! Make sure you get enough exercise every day - even if that means just taking a walk around your neighborhood – because regular physical activity will help keep your body healthy and boost overall well-being too!

3) Get Enough Sleep: Getting adequate sleep each night is essential for managing stress levels since lack of rest can lead directly to feeling overwhelmed with life's demands easily leading towards burnout or depression down the line if not addressed properly soon enough. Try setting up consistent bedtime routines such as reading before going off lights at least 30 minutes prior to turning out all screens (TV/phones) away from the bedroom area altogether; this should help ensure better quality slumbering hours throughout weekdays & weekends alike!  

4) Talk To Someone You Trust: Talking about stressful situations with someone who understands can be very helpful when trying to manage difficult emotions related thereto - whether they may come from work/family dynamics etcetera... Sharing worries aloud with another person allows processing through these issues much easier than would otherwise be possible alone due to its therapeutic nature involved therein; plus having a support system during tough times never hurts either!

5) Take Time for Yourself: Taking some “me time” every now and then helps recharge batteries after long days full of errands running around town… Schedule breaks between tasks where none exist naturally already & use those moments to do whatever pleases you most i.e. listening to music, watching movies, playing games online etcetera… Doing something relaxing a few times per week really makes a difference in terms of energy level maintenance throughout longer periods given how refreshing these activities tend to feel afterwards!

7 Amazing Ways to Make Most of the “Me Time”

The need to be going all the time, the need to be functioning each second is seen as productive. If you are not working or putting your energy into something, then it is believed that you are wasting time. Taking out time for “me time activities” may feel a waste where you won’t accomplish anything.

The essentiality of me-time has got lost in this busy world that we live in. To some extent, it is believed to be true that stress and the inability to find time for yourself can have an impact on health as well as psychological state.

Why scheduling “Me-Time” is just as important?

When you take some time off of work, it allows you to decompress, get rid of some stress, and get back to work with a clearer mind and better focus. When you are in a relaxing mode, that is when you get most of your best ideas to work on. It is equally important for you to forget the to-do list and focus on the present.

It is not necessary that you must go on and on and on without taking a pause. Everyone needs a break from routine tasks and stress and indulges in me-time activities. If you feel a bit down or sluggish, you need time to charge your mind and body. This enhances the efficiency of your work.

It is a challenging task to offer your best when you’re not at your best. You give, give, and give but then it gets exhausting and frustrating. Giving back to your family is just as important for which you need to be content with yourself.

When lives are full of to-do lists, it can be challenging to see the forest for the trees. When you have a chance to remove yourself and take a breather, your mind gets clear. With a clear mind, you have more energy, and motivation, and hence, you become more productive.

When you have your own me-time, you learn new things about yourself such as things you love to do or your favorite hobby. You get to embrace your creativity, develop a skill, and feel a sense of accomplishment.

To be clear, “me-time” doesn’t necessarily mean spending a whole day at spa or doing activities to pamper yourself. A few minutes squeezed for yourself should be more than enough. You should find a little time each day to relax, recharge, and revitalize. A little time for yourself is every day is enough to reap the maximum benefits of the Me-Time. But what to do at that time?

Here is a list of fun Me Time activities and ideas which will help you to make the most of your precious time.

1. Unplug

Amidst your busy schedule, find time in the day where you can ban all your electronics, email, and phone calls for a set amount of time. Take a break from social media. Use this time to go out for a walk, read a book, or simply stare out the window.

2. Embrace Your Creativity

Make and create, only for fun and relaxation. You shouldn’t be looking to create something perfect rather let your creativity flow and don’t try to hang up on how it turns out. It is your creativity that matters and not the end result. You may like to try

3. Take Yourself Out For A Meal

Take yourself out for a nice sit-down in your favorite restaurant or cafe. It is revitalizing when you take a break mid-week from the usual routine. Treat yourself with a lavish meal and enjoy with your own self.

4. Take a Nap (My favorite!)

This is one of my first me-time activities because I feel so refreshed after taking a quick nap.

Get under your comfy covers and really rest. Sleep if you have time, or just close your eyes and revel in the fluffy softness.

Taking a nap not only refreshes but it also helps you to enhance your productivity.

5. Call an Old Friend

When you maintain positive relations, it is food for the soul. Take out some time and call a friend with whom you haven’t talked in a while. Relive the good old days and catch up with them.

6. Watch TV

Even though watching TV can be a mindless “guilty pleasure” but it can turn out to be good for you. Watch something you love but you hardly get a chance to indulge in, and really enjoy it. I love to watch LUCIFER over and again when I want to take a break.

7. Maintain Your Journal

It is necessary to write down your feelings, ideas, stresses, dreams — whatever you feel like! It doesn’t have to be a regular thing to serve the purpose. The idea is to take a break from work and indulge in more phone-free activities.

Closing Words on Me-Time Activities and Ideas

Taking out time for yourself and indulging in your favorite me-time activities not only add up to a happier family but make you more productive. Not just that me-time is great for healthy relationships in your life. This is one of the best Self-care activities for everyone.

[echo-of-sounds]

love languages

Small headcanons on the love languages of Aizawa, Toshi, Hizashi, Fatgum, Gang Orca, and Hound Dog.

Aizawa Shouta

Aizawa’s is definitely any form of physical touch. It’s difficult for him to vocalize his thoughts and feelings so he relies on his body. And his body is nothing but warmth and comfort. 

Your touch isn’t only comforting, but it’s grounding and reliable as well. After a nightmare, an anxiety attack, or just a difficult day, feeling your hands and hearing your heartbeat is a constant reassurance he’s safe. The flashback or nightmare wasn’t true. Your body is what’s real and present. It makes the panic go away.

Shouta also uses physical touch as a way of communication. He knows it’s hard to ask for help or to say you need a break from the crowd. It happens to him. It can happen to anyone. He’ll squeeze your thigh, silently asking if you’re okay. You don’t need to verbalize a response. Simply shake your head for ‘no’ or smile for ‘yes.’  When he starts feeling overwhelmed, he’ll tightly grip your hand, asking if you and he can leave.

He likes receiving words of affirmation. They don't have to be flowery words pomped up with ridiculous adjectives. That would get annoying to him. Tell him you love him when he gets home. Whisper how much he means to you when he’s laying on your chest. Hearing your delicate praise for him just existing in your life means so much. It warms his heart. Not that he’d ever say it though.

Yagi Toshinori

Toshinori is a mix of quality time and physical touch. His life has been bombarded by cameras and people. Getting time with only you is critical to your relationship. On Saturday nights, turn your phones off, relax on the couch with a glass of wine, listening to soft music, and talk. It doesn’t matter about what- your week, your jobs, your current projects, a recent movie you saw- just talk to each other. A partner actively listening with a smile on their face is something he never thought he would get. 

Touching is simple but important. Lean on his shoulder as you watch TV. Kiss his knuckles when you're holding his hand. He'll sit behind you and wrap his arms around you, resting his head on your upper back. Just cuddle. Just let him feel cherished and treasured and safe. Your body against him is the most secure thing to him.

You’ll notice there is a small sprinkling of words of affirmation. After a difficult night, a note will be on the counter, complimenting and encouraging you for the day. Toshi’s texts are full of love and gratitude and cute pictures to make you smile. He doesn’t realize he does it half the time. It’s become an instinct to check in with you throughout the day.

Yamada Hizashi

Words… just a lot of words of affirmation. Sometimes, he doesn’t expect you to listen. He knows he babbles on and on. But sometimes, his words catch your attention. He’ll talk about you, how much you’ve done for him, and how much he adores you. And when you sit down and actually engage in his interests, he bursts. If you recognize his loving words, it’ll only grow. 

It should be noted that physical touch is also important. Though he isn’t as vocal about it. The way he squeezes you isn’t him being clingy. It’s him needing to feel your body as a way to recharge his energy. Your importance and willingness to just be in the moment with him calms his often racing mind and eases his muscles.

If yours isn’t receiving gifts, it might become just that. Trinkets, candies, toys fall out of his pockets. Whenever he sees something he thinks you might enjoy, he scoops it up, even if you only put the little fairy statue on the shelf. He wants you to know he appreciates you and is thinking of your happiness. Your smile is beautiful and he wants to see it as much as possible.

Toyomitsu Taishiro

Taking walks, cooking, and going to museums is important quality time to Taishiro. They’re not big, venturous dates. They’re only simple times you can spend with each other. Tip his nose with cake batter while you’re trying out a new recipe. Kissing, dancing, and laughing until you’re nearly peeing your pants is something he wouldn’t want with anyone else.

He clears parts of his schedule to assure he’ll get enough time. If it’s been a while since he’s had distraction-free, one-on-one time with you, he starts to feel weird. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you or gets angry if you’re busy. He just wants you. Your laugh, your questions, your love hooks him and when he’s deprived of it, he’s left wanting and waiting.

Receiving gifts lets him know you were thinking of him. They don’t have to be big. In fact, he prefers smaller, near ‘unremarkable’ ones: a coffee mug with a little bag of candies, homemade bread, or just a new box of UNO cards. He’s always beyond enthusiastic when you give anything to him. And he’ll plant so many smooches on your cheek.

Gang Orca

Whispered words of affirmation in a dark room while you’re snuggled together makes him so warm. Though he’s grateful for any words, telling him he’s beautiful and you love him for him nearly boils his heart. He can’t blush but he will nuzzle your neck, hiding from your smile and tender words.

Kugo gives acts of service. He wants to help you with everything. He can change the light bulb. He’ll throw your clothing into the washer when you’re tired. He carries the bags in from the car. Helping you with everyday tasks is how he wants you to know he cares. He wants to take care of you. He wants you to know how important you are. Because you are his top priority.

Do it back to him and he’s flustered. People don’t take care of him. He’s strong, a top Hero, and a leader people follow. They never think of helping him in smaller, more meaningful ways. After a long, tiring day, he still wants to cook for you. Tell him to take a bath and relax while you make dinner. Throw his Hero costume in the wash for a deep clean. And rub body salve into his skin when he gets out. He appreciates your full-blown attention. The effort, as little as it is, is unable to be explained by him.

Physical touch weighs heavily in Kugo’s mind. It’ll take a while for him to be comfortable with a lot of touching. Like when you take care of him, he’s thankful for your mere presence. And like Toshinori, intimacy isn’t something he’d think he’d get in life. So when you ask to lay on his chest to fall asleep or kiss his knuckles as he’s leaving for work, it washes over his being, registering that someone genuinely wants to be with him. 

Hound Dog

Ryo doesn’t need grand adventures and brainy words. He merely needs you next to him. Quality time on the couch or going out for drinks on a Wednesday afternoon is more than exceptional. It takes some time for him to grow attracted or attached to someone and he savors any nighttime hangouts with you- no complications, no distractions, just you and him.

Not to compare him to a canine, because he’s still clearly a person, but those times build your bond much like when someone gets a new dog. Mutual respect and relaxed, entertaining time together assure him you’re actually in the relationship, to be in the relationship. You aren’t looking for a hookup or using him to pass the time until someone better comes along.

Give him gifts. He won't know what to do. Whether it's a new flannel or a movie he really wanted. It means a lot. Few people have taken the time to listen to what he needs and when you come home, giving him a better brush for his fur you happened across, his heart flutters. It’s a new, alien, but very satisfying feeling.

He’d also welcome any snuggles (physical touch).

Lifeline

Oneshot || pairing: kenma x reader (gender neutral, but I tried to stay clear of any pronouns)|| genre: angstisch, hurt/comfort ||

warnings: depiction of depression/ symptoms of a depression || if I forgot to mention something, please feel free to tell me...

a/n: sooo, this is my very first fanfic since like 2013, please be gentle with me haha

y/n: “I’m sorry, but I can’t make it to our date today…”

Kenma: “What do you mean you can’t make it? We planned this for over a week and are supposed to meet up in an hour...I’m already out of my house…”

y/n: “I’m really sorry, I just can’t.”

You sighed, tossed your phone next to you on the bed and pressed the pillow closer to your chest.

You couldn’t really pinpoint what triggered all these negative feelings. But your whole life there have always been these days where you felt completely drained of energy and the negativity of your own mind played tricks on you. You had always called it your “social battery” being empty. But in reality, it was more than just that. It was more than just not wanting to see your friends or family. It was a consuming tiredness paired with negative thoughts and sadness rooted deep within your very heart. Days like these would come and go, you learned that over the years, which is why you preferred to be alone on those days because you didn’t want to burden anyone with your pointless feelings. Sure, sometimes those feelings would almost consume you completely and would persist for weeks, but you always managed to handle them one way or another. You knew this all too well, you had had to deal with this part of yourself since your early teens after all and now that you were 28 it just didn’t seem like you were ever to grow out of it like your parents used to say you would. It wasn’t their fault though, since you never really talked about what it felt like to anyone after your so called friends seemed to dismiss it as just you being lazy and so your parents thought your tendency to hang in your room and lay in bed all day was just due to hormones. And you always felt like no one would believe you anyways and you weren’t prepared for all the follow up questions that would drain the last bit of energy you had, and so you stopped explaining yourself altogether.

You’ve known Kenma for a while now. The two of you started to form a friendship after you accidentally took his coffee order from the barista because he had ordered your usual. And with your head always being in the clouds you had just heard “vanilla latte” and without waiting for your name to follow the order you’d taken the beverage.

“Uhm, excuse me but I think this is supposed to be mine - well unless your name is Kenma as well, but I highly doubt that”, a monotone voice next to you spoke. Your gaze shifted from the to-go-cup in your hand to the man beside you. The faux blonde with the dark roots and the almost bored facial expression stood next to the take-out section of the coffeeshop, switch in one hand and the other in the pocket of his red tracksuit.

“Oh, I’m very sorry, I must have zoned out again. I sometimes get stressed in overly crowded places and tend to lose myself in my thoughts to calm down aaaand I just overshared, didn’t I?” You bowed slightly and handed the man in front of you his drink just as the barista called out your name with a “vanilla latte” attached to it. You quickly turned around to take the coffee so that Kenma wouldn’t notice the slight blush that spread over your cheeks from the embarrassment.

“y/n’s a pretty name, suits you.”, Kenma said, flashing a slight blush of his own as the words left his lips. “Well thank you...Kenma was it?”. The faux blonde nodded slightly. An awkward silence infolded the two of you. Just as you wanted to excuse yourself so that you could finally leave this utterly embarrassing situation, Kenma spoke up again: “well if you want to make it up to me for almost stealing my drink, I’d really appreciate a piece of apple pie from the bakery down the road. If that’s not too crowded for you.”

After that encounter, the two of you quickly grew closer and developed a bond to one another. Just like you, Kenma enjoyed lazy days at home gaming or watching movies together more than going out on adventures. So the two of you would often hang out at his house playing Mario Kart together or you’d watch movies on your projektor at yours. Sure, occasionally the two of you would go out to get something to eat or to watch his friends at a volleyball game, but these outings were rare. And it was because of those cozy little hangouts that you never once had to cancel plans with him, thus not once did you have to explain to him why you didn’t have the energy to go out and do stuff….well at least until today.

The familiar wave of guilt washed over you for not telling him why you had to cancel on such short notice. But you really didn’t have the energy to explain that your inner demons had taken control over your body and mind today. You were already feeling exhausted because work had been hell the last couple of weeks and it didn’t help that seemingly everyone in your family needed something from you which resulted in you spending your off-time after work either at your fathers house or your mothers. This left little to no you-time to relax and recharge yourself.

It was now near lunchtime on your well deserved day off and Kenma and you had plans to check out the new cat café that opened up just a few blocks from your home. But you hadn’t even made it out of bed, let alone under the shower yet. The comfort of the warm blankets was just too good. The mere thought of leaving this safe haven stressed you out and you had to hold yourself back from crying. You felt so overwhelmed with the world today that you couldn’t entertain the thought of participating in anything right now. All you wanted - no - needed to do was sleep until that heavy feeling on your chest would lift off and let you breathe again.

Just as you were dozing off, you heard your doorbell ring. You didn’t expect a package or anything today, so you didn’t exactly know who would want something from you right now.

Wrapped in your pink aristocats pijama and your very wild bedhead you padded to your door. What you didn’t expect while looking through your peephole was Kenma, standing in front of your apartment, arms full of paper bags.

“Open up, these are heavy you know! I know you’re standing behind the door.”

You took a deep breath before opening the door to let Kenma in. He immediately made his way to the kitchen, where he placed all the bags on the countertop before looking at you.

His gaze was intense. With what seemed like worry in his eyes, he scanned over your tired form.

“What’s wrong y/n?”, he asked.

“Nothing, I’m just tired, didn’t sleep enough last night I guess, but it’ll be better by tomorrow, so you really don’t have to worry about little old me”, you meekly said in an attempt to lighten the mood. You tried giving him the most reassuring smile you could manage, but it didn’t reach your eyes. You knew he noticed by the way his gaze softened. In one swift motion Kenma pulled you into his chest and cradled your head with one hand, while the other found its way around your waist, pulling you closer into him in the process. This took you by surprise, since Kenma and you didn’t really hug a lot.

“Tell me what’s really wrong y/n. I can clearly tell that you are not okay. You are a measly liar”, he whispered into your hair. Damn him and his observation skills, you thought. Well, this is it, you couldn’t hide that part of yourself from him any longer. You were scared to open up to him about that part of yourself, the fear of losing him because he didn’t want to deal with someone as broken as you are was immense.

“y/n?” Kenma spoke up again. You must’ve lost yourself in thought again, you didn’t even notice the tears that slipped past your eyelids and were making their way down your cheeks, before coming to a halt at your chin.

“I’m s-sorry, I - I don’t want to w-worry you… I just, I feel so tired and I f-feel like my battery is completely e-empty. I don’t feel like I c-can handle anyone, including m-myself right now. I j-just want everything to s-stop. I am exhausted, I feel like I a-am drowning within m-myself and t-there seems to b-be no lifeline”, you sniffled into Kenma’s chest. His hold on you tightened at that. He knew you got overwhelmed in crowds sometimes and that you preferred quiet, lazy meet-ups at home over going out. It was one of the reasons why he liked you so much, you didn’t expect him to be outgoing and you always accepted him for the person he was. He knew you were someone who liked their personal time and that the world, especially the people living in it would overwhelm you sometimes, but he had never seen you like this. Small, so fragile, almost as if you crumbled within yourself. As if the slightest blow of wind could knock you over and break you.

“Do you want me to leave? I brought food from that new café. I can just leave it here and go, if you need time to yourself…” Kenma said.

You were torn. On one hand, you really didn’t have the energy to entertain someone right now. But Kenma felt so warm and his embrace made you feel secure. As if the world couldn’t get to you as long as he held you like this. So you tightened your hold on him and shook your head lightly.

A small smile appeared on Kenma’s face.

“Alright, how about you go lay down on the couch then, while I unpack the food and we watch some cheesy movie together?”

The thought of leaving Kenma’s arms didn’t please you at all but you obliged and went to your couch in the open living room. You watched as Kenma started unpacking of cake slices, sandwiches and chocolates out of the bags. He even brought avocado-onigiri. Your favorite. After he displayed everything on plates he came over to put the food and two lemonades on the coffee table. He sat down next to you and turned on your TV. He started your favorite rom-com before he pulled you close to him again so that your head was resting on his chest. As the movie went on, he started to stroke your hair with his hand, while the other was on top of your arm that was draped over his torso. This was still very unfamiliar to you, but it felt nice.

“You know, you never have to hide your feelings from me. Not even the negative ones. I know I sometimes seem a little distant and I am not very open about my own feelings either but you mean a great deal to me and I’m always gonna be here for you. Even when you feel like drowning, I’ll always be a lifeline for you to hold on to. And I know I can’t fix everything, but I’ll try my best to help you with fixing what needs to be fixed.” he whispered softly. You closed your eyes, new tears forming in them making your eyelids heavy. Even if all those inner demons were loud within you, Kenma’s voice and reassuring words slowly drowned them out and you finally felt a bit of the weight on your chest getting lighter. You knew you had to work on these things and you would need more than just Kenma, you’d need professional help to cope with all of this, but with Kenma by your side like this, you felt like anything was possible. Before you dozed off in Kenma’s embrace you whispered back: “thank you so much for being here”.

No matter how long Axel and Scholar had been together, there was something that was always in the back of the couple’s mind. Distance. They had been together for nearly a year now but every time they were away from each other due to Axel’s schedule. He was always at the studio, touring or busy with something else, which affected his time with his significant other.

Scholar stared at their laptop’s clock, looking at the hour. 2 am. He was going to miss their weekly video call. They sighed, running their hands through their hair. The call was scheduled for 1 am. He promised that he was going to show up. They hadn’t really spoken to each other since the beginning of the winter break.

Feeling sleepy, Scholar closed their laptop and left it at the desk.

The only thing that was going to comfort them tonight was their bed.

The next days were filled with Scholar packing their things, ready to go back to Arlington after the winter break. Somehow their room didn’t seem like it was theirs anymore, which gave Scholar more motivation to pack their things. Besides all the pressure, Arlington felt more like a home than their childhood house.

Carrying their bags downstairs so they would be all set for tomorrow, Scholar saw their father sitting on the couch with a worried look on his face. He was watching some type of gossip program, which was odd.

“Since when do you like this type of show?” Scholar said, sitting next to their father.

“Jesus kiddo, don’t scare your old man like that.” He replied, putting his hand over his chest. “I was switching channels but saw this.” He pointed at the tv, which was playing a video of Axel on a loop. “Isn’t this your...uh...boyfriend?”

The video was of Axel with his hand over a girl’s shoulder. The girl in question being Gianna Portinari, a famous Italian model. According to the show’s host, the video was taken by a fan of the show who was on vacation in Italy and saw the “couple” walking through the streets of Milan in the early morning.

Scholar quickly connected the dots. There was a six-hour difference between their city and Italy. 2 am where they lived meant 7 am in Italy. Axel ditched them so he could hang out with a girl.

Scholar ran to their room, grabbed their phone and hit call. Nothing. They called seventeen times until they were finally tired of calling. It was going straight to voicemail.

The teen felt like throwing their phone across the room, but they knew it wasn’t worth it. They would also not have money to replace it.

The day they were desperately waiting for finally arrived. It was time to go back to Arlington. The flight had gone well, as Scholar slept during the entire trip. As they landed, anxiety started to grow on them, they would have to face their boyfriend and probably the end of their relationship.

At the airport, Scholar got in a taxi that would drive them to Arlington. Car drives aren’t as relaxing when your mind can’t stop creating scenarios of how your relationship will end.

After paying the driver and taking their bags from the taxi, Scholar found themselves in front of Arlington Academy, ready to start another semester. They spotted Claire and Raquel talking near the dorms and walked to them.

“Scholar! Nice to see you again! How was the break? Did you and your dad have fun?” Raquel said warming her friend into a tight hug.

“Yeah, we had some fun. The break was normal I guess, I had time to recharge batteries.” Scholar replied trying not to sound sad.

“We saw the thing about Axel.” Claire announced. “And we’re here for you if you need us.”

“Thanks girls.” Scholar thanked their friend, wanting to end the conversation there.

The cold wind of January made Scholar hold on tight to their coat. They said goodbye to their friends and walked to their room.

The room seemed empty, as they weren’t there for a month. Scholar opened their bags, ready to unpack their clothes and put things where they belonged.

As they were going to start to put their jackets in the clothes hangers in the wardrobe, someone knocked at the door.

Opening the door, Scholar was greeted by their boyfriend, who was holding a rose bouquet.

“Hi.” Axel said, ready to enter the room.

“No.” Scholar closed the door on his face, not wanting to deal with that in the moment.

“Oh come on! Don’t be like that, corazón!” He yelled from outside, knocking at the door again.

Scholar rolled their eyes. They knew how their boyfriend was and knew that they weren’t going to give up until they had want they wanted. Scholar opened the door again and motioned for him to come in.

“First of all, thank you for letting me in.” He said, earning a bored look from his lover. “And second, I bought you this.” He gave Scholar the bouquet, not receiving the energy he was expecting. “You look nice.”

“You’re not getting out of this with flowers and compliments, Axel.” Scholar said putting the bouquet in the desk.

“What did I do now?” Axel said, massaging his temple with his fingers. “It’s about me and Gia, right?”

“Gia? God, you even have a nickname for her.”

“Scholar, baby, Gia and I are just friends.” Axel walked to his partner, who stepped back. “And why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

“Why? Because I’m the one dating you! I shouldn’t have to compete with your supermodel flings!” Scholar screamed, grabbing their phone and searching for photos of Axel with other people. “Look! If I search Axel the suggestions are either your songs or you with other girls and guys! Axel and Gianna Portinari, Axel and Taylor Covington, Axel and Rowan Harvey, Axel and Peyton Easterling...do you want me to go on?”

“I get it, I get it, I go out with a lot of celebrities, so what? I’m not even friends with them! It’s called a publicity stunt!” Axel yelled back. “You never had a problem with it before.”

“I didn’t, but now I have! You are always seen with someone new acting all lovey dovey and…” Scholar felt their eyes get watery. “and I get jealous. You ditched our last video-call.”

“Because I was busy! I have a career, Scholar! I’m sorry can’t dedicate all of my time to you!”

“Busy walking down the streets of Milan with a supermodel? Give me a break!” Tears fell down Scholar’s cheeks, exposing their vulnerability to their significant other.

“Scholar, come on. You know that I love you. And what does it matter if I spend time with other people? I don’t kiss them, I don’t even know their names sometimes! I’m a performer, I perform to the paparazzi.” Axel himself was starting to cry.

“It’s just hard. You’re never here. I’m competing for your attention with other people all the time and I keep losing. It’s unfair.” They confessed.

“Unfair? Scholar, I always come back to you.” Axel put his hands over Scholar’s shoulders. “You don’t need to compete with anyone, I’m yours. I’ve always been, since day one.”

“You’re mine when it’s convenient to you. You’re mine when you have the time.” Scholar pushed him away gently. “It’s tiring. I can’t keep pretending that you having dates with other people doesn’t affect me, even if are just publicity stunts.”

“I’m sorry. I’m going to stop, I promise.” The words escaped Axel’s mouth almost instantly. Even himself knew he was lying. He had no control over his public relationships.

“Don’t lie to me, please don’t lie to me.” Scholar whispered, their heart beating faster and faster every minute. “I think you should leave.”

“Corazón.” Axel tried to reach for his lover, who couldn’t even look him in the eyes.

“Leave. Just leave, Axel.” Scholar muttered, not wanting to deal with him or the situation.

Axel sighed, walking towards the door. As the door closed behind him, he knew that he had lost them. He wanted to scream at them, for not understanding his side but deep down he knew Scholar was right. Axel should have thought about they felt. That didn’t matter anymore, he had already lost Scholar. He had nothing to lose now.

Scholar fell to the ground as they realized what just had happened. They wanted to blame Axel for being selfish and prioritizing his career over his lover, but if they were in his place, they would do the same. He had much to lose.

Both of them could say that they were unfair to each other, but at the end of the day, we all make sacrifices, either for our careers or for our feelings and mental health. Unfairness is part of the world, neither Axel nor Scholar could run away from it.

Kiro’s Work Visit Date (探班之约) Translation [CN]

Hi! Just a couple of notes before you begin reading...

This fluffy and wholesome date was just released (March 11, 2021) in the CN server and will eventually be released in the ENG server sometime next year.

I also don’t know any Chinese myself so all of this translation was done through the power of Google Translate and with help from the lovely @keliosyfan​ .

You can read his Couch Potato call that comes with this date here!

Hope you enjoy!~

*Spoilers ahead for future content!*

[First Part]

MC: So now the question is….

Kiro: Wait a minute! I didn’t seem to understand too much of what was said. Let me take a look!

During the video call, Kiro suddenly moved his face close to the screen with excitement.

Kiro: Miss Chips, do you mean that….you’re going to go in person and be a host on the show?

MC: Pretty much….

Some time ago, I did a variety show about a certain European town called “Cloud Tourism”.

The reason it’s called “Cloud Tourism” is because I’ve never been to this small town before. I only got a preliminary understanding of the traditional customs there through a novel.

Out of an abundance of interest, I consulted a lot of relevant sources and finally released a program with the concept of “seeing words as faces”.

Originally it was just an experiment inspired by an idea that didn’t really make any big splashes in China.

Unexpectedly, an internet celebrity from the small town recommended this program on his personal blog which led to it becoming popular very quickly.

Kiro: Oh….slowly but surely, I figured it out.  Not only has this show received great praise, the local TV station also sincerely invited you to come and do some interviews. Even in the form of a reality show, I must say that Miss Chips is amazing!

MC: ......

MC: I think you understand it pretty clearly but some parts are exaggerated….

Kiro: Congratulations, MC!~

Kiro: If I wasn’t shooting abroad, I would definitely take you there to celebrate! But we can celebrate like we did before….

MC: Wait! Wait a minute! I haven’t decided whether to go or not yet….

Kiro: This is a great opportunity to promote the company. Why are you so hesitant?

MC: Although I have previous experience, this would be my first time shooting as the host….

MC: What if I’m too nervous in front of the camera? It’ll affect the shoot.

Kiro: Miss Chips.

On the screen, Kiro sat upright and pushed his glasses up that were nonexistent.

Kiro: It seems that you’ve forgotten that there’s an experienced acting teacher right in front of you.

MC: Pff….I would like to ask Mr. Kiro how I can act natural in front of the camera. 

Kiro: It is very simple. Step one is to do the warm-up exercises in advance. Your shoulders should also be really relaxed. Then imagine the camera as a friend who can’t speak and has big eyes….

A few minutes later, Kiro was still “teaching” very professional acting techniques on the phone screen.

Kiro: Hello, MC, are you still listening?

MC: Um….I don’t think I can do this.

His bright eyes suddenly crinkled upwards, hiding a triumphant smile.

Kiro: I’m just teasing you. In fact, you only need to remember the first few steps.

MC: But I’m worried that if I get nervous, I’ll forget those first few steps. I hope that I can become Kiro that day!

Kiro curled his lips up again when he heard those words.

Kiro: Then close your eyes and hypnotize yourself….

Kiro: “I am the superstar Kiro!” 

[Second Part]

At five o’clock in the morning in the dressing room at the local TV station.

I tilted my head to face the makeup artist and held back yet another yawn.

The makeup artist whispered a few words to the accompanying translator and then left the dressing room.

Translator: Miss MC, the makeup artist has finished your makeup. The director will be here shortly. You can rest for a while.

I nodded gratefully. This country’s language is one that I’m not familiar with so the TV station specifically hired an interpreter.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt my phone vibrate.

Kiro: MC, are you still in makeup?

MC: Just finished. Are you ready to start work too?

Kiro: I’ve already been working for an hour.

MC: Why so early? It’s only five o’clock where you are!

Kiro: Don’t worry, I’m used to this kind of shooting routine.

Although I’ve known before that Kiro started almost every filming session in the morning, this was the first time experiencing it for myself. It’s hard work getting up early and putting on makeup.

What’s more, he often works overtime to catch up on his other stuff and rarely has enough time to rest.

MC: Then you must take time to rest!

Kiro: It’s okay. If I’m tired, I just close my eyes and think of Miss Chips’ smile. 

Kiro seemed to take a deep breath on the other end.

Kiro: Hmm~ Charging is complete!

I seemed to see him being content and I couldn’t help being amused by him. 

Kiro: By the way, what is your shooting schedule today?

MC: It’s sightseeing shooting. The director arranged to take me to several local attractions and I can also choose places of interest. 

MC: The first stop on the agenda is to explore the shop on the pedestrian street.

Kiro: Great! I heard from the crew that there is a famous cake shop on the pedestrian street of that small town. I will send you the address.

Kiro: Only by filling up your stomach and replenishing your energy can you be in the best state!

(Cut to the street)

MC: Well….

I watched my stiff expression and rigid body in the video replay. I couldn’t help but curl my toes and pick at the ground.

Director: Take it easy, alright?

I nodded slowly.

The director looked at me with sympathy and discussed some things with the translator for a while.

Translator: The director wants to know if you have anything you want to do. He suggested that if we start with one of your interests first, you’ll get into the right state of mind faster.

MC: Well, there is one place….

I almost immediately thought of the cake shop that Kiro had mentioned.

(Cut to cake shop)

Because of how early it was in the morning when we arrived at this cake shop called “Flipped”, the first batch of pastries had just come out of the oven. 

I was standing in front of the shop window outside the store while the director was preparing for shooting and I made adjustments for myself. 

Shoulders down, jaw relaxed, a smile appeared on my face. I recalled the formula Kiro taught me.

Close your eyes. Look into your heart.

“I’m the “not afraid of anything” Kiro!”

A burst of mellow sweetness lingered wantonly in the air. I opened my eyes and focused on the window again.

A pair of bright and familiar smiling eyes appeared in the window. The owner of these smiling eyes waved to me.

I felt my heart jump out of my chest.

Kiro: Hello, Miss Chips~ 

Looking at the two intersecting faces on the window glass, I finally couldn’t help but smile.

Oops, I really did become Kiro.

[Third Part]

I didn’t expect Kiro to have secretly been planning to see me on set. I was pleasantly surprised and realized that I was deceived by him during the morning call.

I made a “follow me” gesture to him through the glass.

(Cut to alleyway)

In the alleyway next to the cake shop, I wiped away the shock in my heart and checked, again and again, to make sure that no one else had followed us.

Kiro: Don’t worry, MC. Almost all the folks in this small town will have no idea who I am. And….

He pointed proudly to the sunglasses on his nose.

Kiro: I also came prepared.

I looked around and around and deliberately put on a face of worry.

MC: Why are you here? Weren’t you filming in another country?

Kiro: Actually, I don’t have any shooting arrangements today. It only takes an hour and a half to fly to this country from the shooting location. And it only takes two hours to take the train from the town’s airport.

MC: No matter how easy you make it sound, that was no easy journey….

MC: And with this time off, you should be resting in the hotel.

He pulled down his sunglasses aggrievedly. 

Kiro: But I really wanted to visit you at work for once, and give you encouragement at your side, just like what you did for me last time.

Kiro: And more importantly, I really missed you…. 

(Here’s a cute little clip of this dialogue uploaded by @cheri-translates​  !)

MC: Kiro….

All of my pretentious arrogance dissipated in an instant and I was about to reach out and hug him. But, he crossed his arms in front of him.

Kiro: But speaking of shooting, I just observed it secretly and your performance does have some small flaws.

Kiro: Your expressions are small and stiff, your movements are rigid and tiny, and your eye contact flutters from time to time….

Kiro: Also, you can walk without looking at the camera…. If I look at the camera while walking, [robot noises] don’t I look like a robot?

The more he talked about it, the more he assumed the coach position. He made a great show of it too.

I was so embarrassed that I nodded my head to accept the criticism with shame.

Kiro: Hahahaha--I’ll stop teasing you. 

He leaned over and squished my cheek and curled his lips again.

Kiro: Although, I can see that you are a bit nervous. I’m used to seeing your confident working style as a producer on set….

Kiro: It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you this nervous. You can do it, love! *Did my own interpretation of what he said here cause I had no clue what Google was trying to say lol.*

He opened his arms and the morning sun fell on his shoulders.

Kiro: Come on, Miss Chips.

Kiro: Thank you for your hard work. For that, you get a rechargeable hug from Kiro.

I nodded my head hard and as soon as I took a step of joy, the director poked his head out of the alley. 

Director: Stand by, sweety!

I slammed the brakes and took out my phone, pretending to take a call. I shook my head slightly at Kiro.

He immediately showed me an aggrieved expression and I gave him a wink.

MC: It’s okay, I’ve already learned a recharging trick from Teacher Kiro.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, sketching a picture of bright, smiling eyes on the pitch-black canvas.

When I opened my eyes, those smiling eyes gradually merged with Kiro’s in front of me.

MC: Charging is complete~

(Cut to inside cake shop)

Under the guidance of Kiro, “the super professional”, I calmed down and tried to get into the shooting state.

However, in order to not affect my shooting state, Kiro pretended to be a stranger and waited silently near the shooting location.

When I don’t know which dessert to choose, he would raise his voice and give me a hint.

With pastry crumbs hanging on the corner of my mouth, he pointed at the corner of his mouth and winked at me until I understood what he meant.

During the filming, there were children running around noisily, so he used the tablecloth on the table to do some tricks to attract their attention.

Perhaps because of his “invisible” companionship, I really became more natural before I knew it.

Translator: The shooting in the store is OK! The director said that we are going to shoot some scenes on the pedestrian street next. Miss MC just needs to walk around the street casually.

After checking the route with the director in the cake shop, I realized that the table where Kiro was sitting was empty.

(Cut to the street)

I walked out of the cake shop and looked around but did not find him.

Without giving me too much time to think, the director shouted to start behind the camera.

I tried to walk the streets with peace of mind but my eyes subconsciously looked for Kiro.

Although the sun is shining in the early spring, there is still a bit of a chill in the air that has just warmed up.

Inexplicably, my heart is a little empty.

There was hustle and bustle on the other side of the street and my gaze followed the prestige in the center surrounded by a group of local children. The familiar blonde hair was dazzling and shining.

Kiro was holding a few yellow balloons in his hand with the children cheering around him as if he had helped them stop the balloons from flying away.

He squatted down and handed them the balloons one by one.

As if he could feel my gaze, he turned around and gave me an unreserved smile.

The empty part of my heart instantly filled up at this moment.

I retracted my gaze and found that the director was gesturing at me to continue walking. I quickly continued to walk.

When I pretended to spontaneously look to the other side of the road, I found Kiro with his hands in his pockets walking at the same pace as me.

Although separated by the road, he walked with me in such a special way.

The approaching noon sunshine finally had the temperature as spring.

[Fourth Part]

The shooting had finally come to an end before dusk came.

But Kiro disappeared when I was filming the last scenic spot.

As soon as I had finished work, I took out my phone to check it and found that Kiro had sent me two text messages half an hour ago.

Kiro: MC, I will have filming tomorrow so I have to rush to take the last train.

Kiro: Also, you performed well. I know my MC is the best.

I hurriedly called Kiro but the call informed me that his phone was turned off.

I took a look at the time and it was about 20 minutes away from the shooting location to the train station in town.

Maybe Kiro has boarded the return train and even arrived at the airport….

However, before I could think rationally, I didn’t hesitate to reach out and stop a taxi.

(Cut to the train station)

Due to the small population of the town, the train station at dusk is deserted.

I couldn’t understand the local language on the big screen at the station so I stood on tiptoe and looking into the waiting area in the hall.

Benches in the waiting area, a window for manual ticket purchases, on both sides of the platform, beside the vending machine.

Kiro wasn’t there.

My shoulders drooped in disappointment and I walked slowly towards the station gate.

The setting sun gives off the last bit of its light and the half-curved dome clouds shroud half the station hall in the shadows.

A slender figure stepped out of the shadow and looked at the phone in his hand, his face was as disappointed and lonely as mine.

The sunset gradually kept coming down for another minute but it just happened to pass through the windows around the station, covering the entire lobby with a layer of gold.

I looked at the young man illuminated by the golden light and couldn’t help but shout.

MC: Kiro!!!

He raised his head with a surprised expression.

Kiro: MC?

I waved at him frantically and ran in his direction.

He regained his senses after a brief moment of disbelief and then opened his arms wide like everytime he hugs me.

The moment his breath came to my face, my heart was filled with contentment.

Kiro put a hand around my waist tightly, lowered his head, and rubbed my forehead.

Kiro: Why are you here?

MC: I remembered that I borrowed something from you today, so I ran to pay you back.

Kiro: What’s that?

I tightened my arms around his neck.

MC: Isn’t this for you?

His breathing seemed to be slightly stagnant. He slid his hand on my waist to my hair.

Kiro: Then I’ll gladly take it.

MC: I….

He bowed his head slightly, and put the words that I was eager to confide in between his lips.

.

.

.

Trains in foreign towns are always prone to delays. Thanks to this, Kiro has been at the station until now so we now have the opportunity to be alone outside of our schedules.

As soon as the setting sun fell, the stars scrambled to fill the sky.

We were dressed in starlight, sitting side-by-side on the benches outside of the station, waiting for the late train. 

Kiro: How was the last scenic shoot? Did it go well? 

MC: OK! But when I was eating a snack, I poured all the ingredients inside by accident.

MC: But in fact, you’re just supposed to pick a flavour and eat it as a dip. The director laughed and shouted “CUT”....

Kiro: Pff….hahahahaha! Fortunately, I wasn’t there or I would’ve been laughing even louder!

MC: And there was….

I counted all the interesting things about today’s shooting, and laughed happily with Kiro.

Kiro: I’m glad I was able to come to the shoot today. Otherwise, I would have missed so many interesting things about MC.

MC: Kiro, do you feel that our current conversations seem to have the roles reversed?

MC: I used to visit you at your shoots, and you talked with me about all the interesting things that happened during them.

MC: Today, we “swapped” identities, and I feel a little delicate.

Kiro: Can I interview the delicate mood of Miss Chips?

He held his hand out to me as if he were holding a microphone and placed it in front of my mouth.

MC: Well, when I was shooting before, I could always feel your gaze. I felt it a lot today.

MC: It turned out to be difficult to stop myself from gazing back.

MC: Obviously, I saw you all day, but I had to hold back from looking at you.

MC: Obviously, you are by my side, but I have to resist the urge to hug you….

My cheeks were slightly hot and I avoided Kiro’s gaze. I lifted my head to look at the stars in the sky when I heard a “click”.

I turned my head and found that Kiro was taking pictures of me with his phone, the power bank that I had given him was still hanging from it.

MC: !

I took a look at the phone in his hand and saw the picture.

MC: It’s ugly! Delete it quickly!

Kiro: How is it ugly? The most natural MC is obviously the most lovely MC!

MC: I’m not letting you keep the power bank to charge your phone as revenge. Delete it quickly!

I struggled to snatch the phone from him, only to find that all the pictures he had taken today were of me.

I randomly clicked on a picture Kiro had taken of me eating a grilled sausage with an exaggerated expression, with me nervously facing the table in the background.

MC: You little….!

I glared at him angrily then clicked on other photos.

I frowned and watched the replay. I was stubbornly asking for another shot and I looked at him in the distance.

Kiro: Miss Chips….

He prolonged the ending, slowly coming closer to me.

Kiro: Don’t delete them. They’re all my precious memories of you. I want to keep them.

MC: No wonder your phone is out of power. You took too many photos!

He heard the relaxation in my tone and happily took the phone from me.

Kiro: Is this really too much? Compared to all of the photos of me on your phone, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

I blushed and tried to retort.

MC: Well, that’s because you are Kiro!

Kiro: But to me, you are MC.

He said this in a sincere tone.

Kiro: Just like you said, I also felt MC’s unusual mood today.

Kiro: I was worried whether you would be thirsty after talking for so long. And worried that you’d be tired after shooting for so long.

Kiro: You did well. I'm proud of you.

Kiro: The most important is….

He slowly came closer to me. I was the only thing in the reflection of his eyes.

Kiro: Although the scenery of this small town is beautiful, your shooting content is also very rich.

Kiro: But just like this moment….

Kiro: Under the starry sky, I can only see you.

Kiro: You are the unique star in my world.

Koala Girlfriend w/ Akaashi, Kuroo, Kita and Ushijima

Request: Can I request Akaashi, Kuroo, Kita and Ushijima with a girlfriend who loves to cling to them like a koala while they are doing things around the house?

A personal favorite, even though I don’t have a s/o if I had one this would be my go to cuddling position. Sorry for not posting the last couple of days I just wasn’t feeling very well and I didn’t have motivation. Hope you like it. Love ya 💖💖💖

masterlist

rules

warnings: fluff.

Akaashi Keiji

-Oof pretty boy comin through. 

-This man, this godly man, oof. 

-He is usually very tired and loves recharging with some cuddles. 

-He would love it if he could just stay wrapped around you for the rest of eternity but alas his editor duties sadly call him and he has to get up at some point.

-You always felt iffy disturbing him while he worked so only when you were very touch starved you would give him a small peck as you passed by his desk. 

-But lately you felt so needy and clingy with him, wanting to sit on his lap 24/7, no sexual intentions whatsoever. 

-So you just wordlessly pushed his chair back and took your seat in his lap, arms wrapped around his neck and legs hanging loosely around his waist. 

-He didn’t even question it, he kissed you on the forehead before resting a hand on your waist and going back to work letting you doze off on his shoulder. 

-When he wanted to get up though he contemplated whether or not he should let you go, temporarily of course. 

-He decides against it, nudging you lightly with his chin and whispering you to hang on as he got up and went to the kitchen, fixing you both cups of hot cocoa and caring them back to his study. 

-It became a routine after that. 

-No matter what he was doing, if he wanted to cuddle you he would. 

-You never complained of course, nuzzling into his chest as he relaxed in his chair, giving him kisses as a sign of gratitude every now and again. 

-Boy really wouldn’t even ask you before picking you up. 

-If he knew you weren’t busy he would just come up to you and grab your hands, bringing them around his shoulders while you wrapped your legs around his waist knowing exactly what he was asking for. 

-Sometimes he would ask you to move to his back, especially when he was doing something that wanted his undivided attention. 

-That happened when he wanted to cook or cut something and baby didn’t want to accidentally hurt you. 

-This cuddly habit rarely turned sexual, like 1/20 of the time. 

-He liked the warmth and the familiarity that your cuddles provided and he would prefer to fall asleep rather than get frisky. 

-Bokuto caught you two once and he couldn’t wait to ask his s/o if they could do it with him.

-He came crashing through your door, taking advantage of the spare key he had, after one failed practice game. 

-Since his s/o was out of town, he needed someone to get him out of his emo mode. 

-He came face to face with an Akaashi and a koala you, getting a glass of water from the kitchen, both of you caught like deer in headlights at his sudden intrusion. 

-He wouldn’t shut up about it for months after that. 

Kuroo Tetsuro

-This little shit. 

-He is very affectionate with you. 

-He treasures you, words cannot describe how much love he has for you. 

-But he is a tease so when you try to initiate  things he will get that stupid smirk on his face saying how can’t resist him. 

-This always leads to you staring at him with a dead expression before getting up and leaving the room, making him run after you. 

-You are not mad of course.

-He knows though when you really need him, when you really need cuddles and comfort so when times like that roll around he won’t say anything to you. 

-He’ll just sit back and hold you close to him, running his palms up and down your sides, kissing the crown of your head every few minutes. 

-He found out about your koala nature when he got up with you in his arms during one of those times. 

-You immediately hugged him closer and nuzzled your face in his neck while he made a snack for the both of you. 

- “You like that don’t you?” 

-You just left a kiss on the column of his neck and went back to nuzzling your boyfriend. 

-He let out a chuckle and he knew that this would become daily because he too loved it. 

-Things will turn sexual most of the time. 

-He knows when to not initiate anything like that while you clung to him so don’t worry my mans has restraint. 

-If he’s not sure if you wanna do the do or not he will kiss you on the spot right under your ear and that will determine the outcome of the night *lmao*. 

-He is the one who will ask you to wrap around him while he does some house work. 

-You will be chillin in your room scrolling through your phone when he will storm into the room and spread his arms wide open saying a single “up”. 

-Before you know it you are in his arms, your phone still in hand as one of his arms has circled your waist supporting you. 

-He is muscular so he won’t ever get tired of having you in his arms. 

-He answers video calls with the team, he will be in a zoom meeting with you still in his arm and will open the door to the delivery guy to pay him with you still wrapped around him like a sweater. 

-Even falls asleep with you like that, back pressed against the couch, his head resting on his shoulder as he dozes off, feeling the safest he has ever felt. 

-Yall can see how much those news I got from tik tok have affected me, like shit. 

-Kenma says that it’s disgusting but he does it with his s/o in secret so he be LYIN. 

-His s/o let it slip at some point and Kuroo has been rubbing salt on the wound ever since, RIP Kenma. 

Kita Shinsuke 

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

-THE LATEST EPISODE OF HIM CRYING GHOQHROD.

-Anyways.

-Baby is respectful. 

-Above all he wants for you to be comfortable and relaxed so even if he really really wants to cuddle you he will wait for confirmation. 

-So don’t expect anything like the other two idiots. 

-He won’t just pick you up and go about his day, no no. 

-Kita will ask for a hug, he will ask if he can hold you no matter how weak or worn down he feels. 

-He doesn’t want to burden you with his worries so when days get hard he will ask you for some comfort but you have to sense it for yourself so you can cuddle him more. 

-He likes having control over his life and when things pile up on him and he feels like drowning he thinks that he shouldn’t worry you with it. 

-You can feel it though. 

-His aura changes and he has that little wrinkle in between his eyebrows. 

-So you will slowly wrap your arms around his waist and squeez, trying to pass on to him all of your love and reassurance you think he might need. 

-You start your koala acts when you two were in bed and you didn’t want to get up because it was just so warm and comfortable. 

-Who would want to get up?

- “Y/N, angel, I need to get up.” 

- “But you are warm Shin….” 

-So he just sighs and wraps his arms around your waist. 

- “Hold tight then.” 

-With the ease of a greek god, he stood up with you in his arms and went to make breakfast. 

-You giggled all the time, hugging him tighter and leaving multiple kisses on his neck, cheeks and shoulder, making him let out a few chuckles. 

-You might have exchanged some more passionate kisses as he made breakfast and I don’t blame you, he is irresistible. 

- “Shin, I know that things get hard for you sometimes and I want to be there for you at every turn. So please don’t hesitate to ask for comfort or ask anything from me in general. I love you and if hanging onto you like a baby koala means I’ll get to see that smile on your face then so be it. I like it here.” 

-He was left speechless after that. 

-He followed your advice after that day, coming home in a bad move and just asking for koala time. 

-His grandma caught you two once and she squealed so high you thought she pierced your eardrums. 

-She was beyond happy for her little boy, seeing him so loved and appreciated warmed her heart. 

- “Young love warms my old bones.” 

-It’s all chuckles and giggles and lovestruck looks after that. 

Ushijima Wakatoshi

-Big boy hours. 

-He is tall and muscular so how could you NOT want to climb this tree.  

-He doesn’t get your infatuation with his height and muscles and your impulse of wanting to climb on him but he will allow it. 

-Because you are cute and he loves you and he would do anything to make you giggle and smile like a five year old. 

-He will be standing in the kitchen making coffee or something when you sneak attack him from behind. 

-You cling to his back, your arms wrapped around his broad shoulders and legs around his waist as you try to balance yourself on his back. 

- “Good morning to you too darling.” 

- “Mhm”

-He will continue with his morning routine as usual, moving you from his back to his chest and sitting on the living room couch, opening the TV and chillin for about an hour. 

-When he has to go out for his daily run you have to let go of him although begrudgingly.

- “Don’t pout, Y/N darling.” 

-You do though and he has to kiss the pout off your face. 

-He likes picking you up on his own, without having to wait for one of your attacks. 

-He most likely just came home from training and he is tired, he’ll immediately pick you up and take you into the shower with him, having a lovely bubble bath with you. 

-He is silent most of the time but he likes humming your favorite songs while he has you in his arms. 

-He knows it calms both of you so of course he will do it.  

-Tendou loves teasing him about this cute coupley(?) habit you two have. 

-He visited you one day and Ushijima was just standing in your living room with you wrapped around his torso while he watched a match. 

- “Wakatoshi-kun I didn’t know you got a pet.” 

-Tori is a little shit so of course he would call you that, what else did you expect? 

- “That’s Y/N. Satori-kun.” 

-Clowned you to your old friends from school by taking a pic and just sending it to everyone and their mothers. 

-Semi photoshopped it and put Santa hats on your heads and sent it to you as a christmas card.

Super Dad

Based Off Of This Ask

A/N: This is cuteeee 🥰🥺🥰!!! Enjoy 🙃

Your daughter didn’t get sick that often. But whenever she did, it always happened when Harry was away. So you were the only one who knew how to take care of her whenever she got sick. That is until now, tonight was the first time that Harry was home when Lilly got sick. When you heard her whimpers come through the baby monitor, at first you went to get out of bed to check on her.

“Go back to sleep love. I’ve got her” Harry grumbles.

“Wake me up if she’s hungry.” You mumble before falling back against the pillows. Harry slips out of the bed and makes his way down to the nursery. When he walks in, he sees the crying six month old thrashing around in her crib. 

“Hey pretty girl, whats the matter?” Harry whispers to the baby, bending down to pick her up in his arms. As soon as he does, Harry notices that the baby seemed to be a bit warm. Harry presses the back of his two fingers against Lilly’s tiny forehead and realizes that she has a fever. “I think y’may be sick Bub” he continues to rock back and forth, trying to calm down the baby against his chest. At first Harry was calm, but then he realizes that he’s never taken care of her when she was sick. Now he was starting to panic. What was he supposed to do? His first thought was that maybe if she ate then she would feel better. You told him to wake you up if he needed you but he wanted you to get your rest. So, he took himself and Lilly downstairs to the kitchen where he got one of the bottles of milk you premade. He warms it up and tests it on the back of his hand before putting it up to her mouth. To which she turns her head away and her cries get louder. “Shhh. Please bubs, we don’t want to wake mummy” he coos to her and he leans down to press a kiss to her warm forehead. He continues to bounce her in his arms, trying to figure out what to do. He realizes that his only option at this point was to google how to take care of the sick baby in his arms. “Were gonna get you feelin’ better in no time” he mumbles down to her. He’s able to her cries to die down to a few nasally whines from discomfort along with a few whimpers. 

He puts the bottle back into the fridge and he goes back upstairs. He runs into your shared bedroom and he grabs his phone from the bedside table. He leaves back out so that he doesn’t wake you, but you were already up. Harry’d been out of bed for a little over half an hour, which was longer than when she normally cries, so you knew that something was wrong. When you get out of the bed, you head down to the nursery and you see Harry gathering some of the things he needed, while rocking the fussy baby in one arm. 

“Y’need any help babe. I can take her if you want” you come up behind him and you rest your hand on his back. You instantly feel his muscles relax under your touch. 

“Can yeh just hold her f’me? I need to get some things outta here.” He sighs. 

“Of course” you reach out to take your little girl from him. “She’s running a fever, I think she’s sick”

“Yeah, I felt how warm she was when I came in here earlier” he picks up the last of the items and makes his way out of the nursery. You follow behind him to the bathroom while you continue to bounce the baby in your arms. “I found online that if I give her a lukewarm bath, then it’ll help with her fever”

“Yeah, thats what I usually do whenever she gets sick.” Hearing this made Harry sigh in relief. He knew that Lilly had to have been sick before, so he knew that you knew exactly what to do. Knowing that you’d do the same thing that he was doing gave him a sense of relief. Harry unpacks all of the supplies he brought from the nursery and he places them on the bathroom sink. He takes the baby bath and he gets the tub ready for her. You could see that he was a little stressed out from this, so you take Lilly into the bedroom and you change her out of her onesie and diaper. “Daddy’s gonna take good care of you okay. He’s gonna make you feel all better” you coo softly, and you lean down to press a kiss to her cheek. 

When you bring her back into the bathroom you see Harry crouched over the tub, making sure that the temperature was just right. 

“Is it ready babe?” You come up behind him.  

“Just about.” He feels the water once more and he stands up from the floor. “I can take things from here, y’need to get some rest” 

“I want to stay up with you guys” you pout up at him before handing Lilly over. “Plus I’m wide awake now. And I want to see more of super dad in action.” Harry was undeniably an amazing dad. The way took such good care of his daughter never failed to make your heart melt. But seeing him like this, trying to figure things out for himself made you melt even more. The way he was trying his absolute best to find a way to make Lilly feel better just made your heart flutter and it made you love him even more. 

“Super dad?” He chuckles. He lowers himself back onto the floor and he lowers Lilly into the lukewarm bathwater. You get down onto the floor next to him and you rub your hand against his back. 

“Mhm” you hum before pressing a kiss to his cheek. You both then focus back to the now calm baby laying in the tub in front of you guys. You reach your hand out and you smooth back some the soft curls on her forehead. “How long did it say to keep her in?”

“It didn’t say. But m’gonna check her temperature to see where she’s at.” he stands from his spot next to you and he grabs the thermometer. He comes back and he presses it against her forehead. “Its a little less than 100 now so maybe a few more minuets, or at least until the water runs cold.” The two of you continue to monitor the baby in silence, every once in a while a little cough will come from her. After a few more minuets, he tests the water and he deems it time to take her out. You get up and you grab her towel from the counter. You hand it over to Harry and he wraps her up in the soft yellow towel.

“I can clear out the water while you get her dressed” you offer. 

“Thanks love” he whispers. He presses a kiss to your forehead and he leaves the bathroom. He goes down to the nursery and he gets her ready for bed again. “You little lady, gave daddy a scare and he didn’t like it one bit” he whispers to Lilly. The only response he gets is a little cough from her. Once she’s all dressed, he goes back downstairs and he grabs an empty bottle and fills it with water. “I know y’may not want to, but you have to drink somethin’.” He grabs the bottle and he makes his way back upstairs. He comes back to see that you’ve brought everything he needed into the bedroom. He slides into his side of the bed and he puts a pillow in his lap before resting Lilly against it. “Now it said that I can use baby rub for her congestion” he looks over to you for your feedback. 

“Yeah, thats what I do. I put a little on her chest.” once he does this, you both can see her relax a little bit more. “You should also give babies fluids when they’re sick. I can try milk and if that doesn’t work, you can give her a little water.” He nods at your suggestion and he hands her over to you. You lift up your shirt and you bring her up to your chest. Almost instantly she latches onto you. When she does you and Harry let out a quiet sigh of relief, because the both of you knew how difficult it was to get her to latch on to you in the beginning. While she continues to eat, Harry slides closer to you. 

“Thank you so much for all of your help. I have no idea what I’m doing.” Harry sighs while playing with the curls on top of Lilly’s head.  

“It was all you. You did everything to make her feel better, I just observed.” You smile at him before resting your head against his shoulder.  

“So I’m wide awake now. What do you do while you’re breastfeeding?” All you could do was laugh because Harry was now experiencing the breastfeeding boredom.

“It depends. Considering the fact that its probably 2 am right now, we can watch some tv to pass the time. I don’t think it’ll take that long though because she’s already sleepy.” Harry grabs the tv remote and turns it to Netflix. The two of you spend the next 15 minuets watching an episode of The Office until her mouth detaches from you. The two of you continue to watch the show while you attempt to burp her. “Could you put something soft underneath the mattress to elevate her head babe? It’ll help with her congestion.” He slides out of the bed and he comes to help you put her to bed. Once she’s finally settled and taken care of, you and Harry collapse onto the bed. 

“Super dad is tired” Harry grumbles. 

“Me too” you sigh. At first the both of you were wide awake and fine. Now that the baby was asleep and comfortable, you guys wanted to be asleep and comfortable.

“Y’wanna finish this episode?” Harry proposes

“Yeah” 

The two of you don’t even make it 10 minuets before you both were knocked out. Lucky for you both, Lilly managed to stay asleep for the rest of the night. Her sleeping allowed you got the rest you needed and for the super dad lying next to you to recharge his batteries.

Notes: this is one of my favs i’ve wrote... hope you like it! ♡ ♡

You never thought that one day could be as bad as this one. And by just thinking about it, you were afraid it was going to start raining and a lightning bolt would hit the very top of your head, as it usually happens in the movies.

Since you woke up for classes, everything was going wrong. You stumbled when you got out of bed. When you went to take a shower the water that came out was strong and the fast jet was as cold as snow on Christmas morning. You put your blouse on the wrong side and had to come back to fix it. And, for some reason, you had the feeling that you were forgetting something. Luckily, you weren't late.

What was happening? It seemed to you that the day was destined to be a bad one. Was it some kind of curse? You didn’t know. But you were asking the universe not to make it worse.

However, it can be cruel when it wants to.

When you arrived at your first class of the day, you realized what you had forgotten: the last exam of the semester.

How could you miss such an important detail like this? It was the last one! And a subject that you were not so familiar with. Okay, your week was terrible, exam after exam, project after project, you weren't sleeping well or even eating well.

Sitting down and picking up your pen, you took a deep breath and looked at the paper that was deposited by your teacher right in front of you. Closing your eyes slowly, you thought of all the content you had learned, went over every detail in your own mind and hoped you hadn't missed one. You would need calm but, mainly, you would need luck.

A few kilometers and a few hours later, on the same campus, your girlfriend, Seulgi, was concerned. While sitting with two of her friends, Yerim and Joohyun, she texted you asking if you were eating or at least had a glass of water. The answer was almost always negative, so Seulgi's concern increased and made her heart squeeze. But since you didn't respond right away, she sighed heavily and put the phone back in her jacket pocket.

"Honestly, girls, I miss Y/N..."

"This is new!", Yerim said in a boring tone, used to Seulgi always saying how much she missed you, even though she saw you the night before.

“No, I'm serious, I haven't seen her in over a week. And we study at the same university! ”

Yerim's eyebrows went up in surprise. Joohyun, who was concentrating on her milkshake, finally spoke up.

“This last semester is very stressful, Seulgi, maybe she won't be able to manage everything at once. At least she had answered your messages, right?”

“Yes, but she is putting college above her own well-being! That's what worries me. She is not taking care of herself. ”

Seulgi's cell phone rang and when she picked it up she realized it was a call from you. She answered it.

"Hey, babe!", she said, with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey..."

From the tone of your voice, Seulgi knew there was something wrong.

"Did something happen?", she asked, worried about you.

"I’ve had a very bad day..."

"Tell me where you are and I will get you."

While waiting for Seulgi with the backpack on your shoulders, you looked at the sun, which was setting behind the tall gray buildings of the university. You were feeling drained and connecting with nature wouldn't work to recharge your batteries. Then you looked down at the sidewalk and there she was, in a black jacket and her hair hanging loose over her shoulders, a beautiful smile, which was the only thing capable of recharging your batteries.

Seulgi approached you and hugged you.

"Are we going to my apartment?"

You nodded.

You both walked hand in hand all the way. Her apartment was not far from the campus and it was much more comfortable for you two than your dorm. And your roommate would be there so you wouldn’t have privacy and you wouldn’t talk about your feelings to Seulgi.

When you arrived at her apartment, you hugged her again, and the feeling of her arms around you made you feel at home. Seulgi was your home.

"What do you think about..." she started to speak, fingers sliding through your hair as she slid her nose to yours. "... taking a shower to relax while I order your favorite food and put a really bad movie for us to watch?"

You smiled and felt her lips on top of yours. Seulgi sucked your lower lip and gave it a light peck, her hands cupping your face, her thumbs giving a gentle touch on your cheeks.

"I think it's a good idea.", you said when the kiss ended.

You went to shower in Seulgi's suite and she took out her cell phone to order your favorite food at a restaurant near her apartment. She asked for the order to come neatly arranged and even tipped the restaurant as an incentive.

In the bath, you tried to relax. There, the water was at a pleasant temperature. There, you were feeling well. It was as if everything needed Seulgi's presence to finally come into balance. You stayed like that for a while, so immersed in your own thoughts that you didn't hear the bell ring or even when Seulgi came in and out of the room quickly.

You came out of the bathroom and saw on the bed clothes that Seulgi had separated for you to wear. Smiling to yourself as you got dressed, you thought of how lucky you were to have her in your life and how she made difficult days easily light, as if she had done some kind of magic.

"Do you prefer to eat here on the sofa to watch TV or in the bedroom?", asked Seulgi.

She wasn’t wearing her jacket anymore and hadn’t turned to you yet. She was taking the food out of the bags she had received from the delivery man minutes earlier.

"It's so warm!", she said, pointing to the food on the table and turning to you. "Oh, Gosh! We haven't seen each other in so long that I forgot how beautiful you look in my clothes!”

“Hey, it was only for a week! I couldn't stay away from my teddy bear for a long time... ”, you laughed.

"Any time without you is a long time, you know that.", she pulled you by the hand and kissed your forehead.

"Silly!", you said, approaching and inhaling the delicious scent of the food. "My goodness, just smell that... Definitely, let's eat here in the living room!"

So, as Seulgi had said, you started eating while watching a cliché movie from the 00s' on Netflix, a very boring romantic comedy. This early evening made you feel that everything was completely different from your morning. Like the two sides of the same coin: one side, in the morning, was completely dirty and dusty; on the other side, it was shiny, shiny like your girlfriend's smile.

You finished eating and Seulgi stroked your hair, sitting next to you on the floor. She was facing you, the movie was of no importance to her, and you knew those dark eyes were reading you.

"Do you want to tell me how you're feeling?", she asked you, her quiet, low voice taking a path so deeply from your ears to your heart that you just started to cry.

All the feeling of tiredness, physical and mental exhaustion, leaving in an intense flow of tears. That simple sentence by Seulgi broke a wall, releasing trapped feelings.

Her arms went around your body, warming you up and giving you the security you needed at that moment, that terrible month. She kissed your cheek several times, kissed your temple, said everything you needed to hear:

"Everything will be fine, my love."

But, unlike when other people say the same thing, hearing those words coming out of Seulgi's mouth brought an immeasurable truth, a certainty that left no room for doubt. Everything would really be fine.

Then the tears gradually stopped, your breathing normalized and Seulgi wiped your face with the tips of the sleeves of her blouse. She placed a kiss on the tip of your nose, making a smile appear on your lips.

"This is how you should look, always with that smile that I love on your lips.", she pulled you closer, caressed your face, smiling at you.

Her lips traveled every corner of your face until they finally found your lips, applying soft pecks mixed with smiles. Seulgi had your heart and knew how to take care of it better than anyone.

"Thank you.”, you said, leaning your forehead against hers.

"For what?", she asked, confused.

"For being the best girlfriend in the world."

"I only accept thanks if it is in the form of kisses."

You smiled, your eyes alternating between her mouth and her perfect eyes.

"I think it is a price that I am willing to pay.”, you replied.

And you leaned down to join your lips to hers, finding that taste of serenity that only Seulgi’s lips had.
