Let Me Fix Your Problems, Angel
Pairing: Frat!Rafe Cameron x Reader
Warnings:  N/A
Pronouns: She/Her
Word Count: 1.1K
Summary: Y/N needs to vent, but Rafe needs to solve her issues.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Girls know that when another girl comes to them with a problem, it is just to vent about the issue that they have. Boys. Well, boys like to go to each other for solutions and Rafe isn’t innocent of that mentality. Before Y/N, Rafe hadn’t been in a relationship, so he didn’t have a chance to learn that women just need an outlet to voice their frustration. And he is about to be taught that lesson. He waits for her at the coffee shop with a mug of coffee in his hand and a hot chocolate across from him for her. His fingers tap along the ceramic mug. He looks out the window to see if he can spot her arrival. This is the first time that they are going to be seeing each other in person after returning to campus from the holiday break and he anticipates seeing her again. He wants to see all the gifts she got this Christmas and she is excited to show him. He spots the pompom of her pastel green hat that he sent over to her for Christmas. A massive grin grows on his face and he knows the bell sounding announces her entrance. As she slides into the booth across from him, she leans over the table to kiss him on the lips. “Hey, Rafe. How are you?” she greets. 
He can see something is wrong. There is a slight furrow of her brow and a slight dip of her lip that she is trying to hide. He plays along with her pleasantries for now, “I’m good now that I get to see you, Angel. How was your Christmas?” “It was good. I got to spend time with my family. I was also pleasantly surprised with how many gifts I woke up to on Christmas morning. Some handsome fella even gave me this pretty bracelet with his initials on it. I think I might keep it and him around,” she recounts, holding out her wrist for him to see. He takes her arm into his hand, “Wow. That handsome fella must really be special if you are wearing this even though you have only been dating him for around four months.” “Yeah, I guess you can say that I love him,” she teases and kisses him. “Thank you for the gifts, Rafe. I just wish you told me we were also sending each other stuff because I hate the thought of you not getting anything from me on Christmas.”
His warm hand cups her cheek and his thumb brushes reassuringly against her skin. “Don’t worry about it, Angel. You gave me my gift before we left for break. Plus, getting that FaceTime call from you on Christmas day was my gift,” he promises. She kisses his wrist and this thumb goes to trace the slope of her lips. He can’t be in the dark about her sadness anymore. “What’s wrong, my angel? Why do you seem so sad?” he questions. She shrugs, “Nothing, I’m fine.” “Please, don’t lie to me. I can see something is wrong,” he pleads to her. She sighs, “It’s stupid, but Stacey is having a back-to-school get-together this weekend and she didn’t invite me. I guess I feel a little left out.” “That’s not very nice of her. Have you tried telling her how you feel?” he suggests. She shakes her head, “No. Do you know how embarrassing it would be to run to her like a little schoolgirl and tell her she hurt my feelings?” Rafe understands what she is saying and slides in on her side of the booth. He rests her head on his chest, vowing to help her with her problem. 
———
Rafe knocks on Stacey’s door and puts his hands behind his back. She opens the door with a slight frown at who is waiting for her. “Uh, Rafe. What are you doing here? Is everything okay with Y/N?” she worries, knowing that Rafe only cares about one person. Rafe’s head moves from side to side, “Actually, she isn’t okay. You didn’t invite her to your get-together this weekend.” Stacey nods and cracks her knuckles nervously. “I did not. Because, you see, Y/N and I aren’t really that close of friends and this party is for girls that I am really close to,” Stacey tries to explain. Her mouth shuts when she sees that is not the answer Rafe is looking for. He chuckles, “Obviously, she feels close enough to you that she feels left out by what you did.” He pauses to see if Stacey has anything to add to her defence. She doesn’t. “You know what I want you to do, correct?” Her head hinges up and down, “Yes, I understand. I’m sorry that I hurt Y/N’s feelings.” “Good, I’m glad we can come to a conclusion. I’ll see you later,” he grins and heads back home. 
———
Y/N doesn’t bother to knock. She uses his passcode to storm into his room and finds him on his bed. He sits up right at the sight of her. “Is everything okay, Angel? You didn’t tell me you were coming over,” he frets, rushing to her side. Her arms cross over each other, “You forced Stacey to invite me to her party.” “I did. You said you felt left out that you weren’t invited,” he states. He places his hands above her elbows. She lets out a low laugh, “Why would you do that?” 
“Because you had a problem and you needed help fixing it.”
“Rafe, most of the time, when I come to you with my problems, I don’t want you to fix them. I just want you to listen and agree that I am in the right.”
“Why can’t I fix your problems if I have the solution? Come on, let me fix your problems, Angel.” 
“Sometimes girls just want someone to vent to. Plus, I don’t even like Stacey so the last thing I want to do is go to her party, but now, I have to go because you made a point of getting her to invite me,” she complains. He chuckles and pulls her into a hug, “Okay, I’ll take that venting thing into account for next time. Angel, if you didn’t want to go to the party, then why did it bother you so much?” “Because I wanted to be able to turn her down,” she mumbles, burying her face into his neck. He lets out an amused breath, “I see. Well, I’m sorry that I ruined your ability to reject her. If you want, I can call you with an emergency half an hour into the party so you can leave early.” Y/N pulls back to look him in the eyes. “That is the least you can do. You are getting me sushi too,” she orders. “Sounds fair. I’ll do whatever you want, Angel.”

I’m Not Her (Father Miguel O’Hara x Teen! Daughter Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: Miguel O’Hara is your biological father but it’s not great being his daughter when he’s hooked in the past still.
Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel or any of its characters. This is very short as well! Just a little prompt I thought also, I know the song is about a girl who loves a boy etc., but I thought of it more as father and daughter way. *Ahem* Him thinking of Gabi rather than the present daughter he has…I’m sorry if I confused you.
Word Count: 500
Warnings: Use of female pronouns, Use of (Y/N), angst, Father Miguel, overall, it’s just sad. Uhhh I think that is all for now.
Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5 Pt.6
Being the biological daughter of Miguel O’Hara has its ups and downs but mostly downs according to you. Walking through the Spider Society, you held some reports from Jess, she was on her way to hand them over to your father but seeing the kind person you are, you decided to do it for her so she can rest. You're amazed how a woman so pregnant can still fight. Walking down the halls, you were alone with your thoughts. The time he left to be a father to another girl..a girl named Gabriella…were you not enough for him? What did Gabi have that you didn’t? So many thoughts running through your head only to be snapped from hearing Mayday giggling in the room. Taking a deep breath, you pushed in ready for the chaos. “Hey! (Y/N)!” Peter smiles holding an energetic child. “Hey” You responded before looking over at Miguel who was looking at the videos that hurt you the most. Videos of him and Gabriella. You only frown a bit before masking it. “I'll just drop this off” You dropped the files onto a flat surface before walking to the door. “Hey Boo! You going to ask him?” Lyla appears in front of you smiling. You look at her and back to Miguel before shaking your head. “No…he has better things to do” You whisper walking through her, leaving. Lyla watches you staying quiet before next to Miguel. “Files were dropped.” She brought him back to reality. “Hmm? Who?” He mutters looking at the AI. He goes down his platform and picks up the files you left. “(Y/N) did, she was here not long ago” Lyla looks at her phone scrolling through it. Miguel looks at the door where you left not long ago.
Sitting out on the roof of your dimension, your thoughts only seem to be filling you up with anger. Why did he leave you to be a father for another kid…yeah, she lost her father but so did you…he left you to be with her. You groan out in frustration before looking at the time. “There is not enough time left” You mutter before getting up and going back to the house. A home where you stopped waiting for him to come home. Upon reaching your room, you changed into your pjs before walking over to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, you pulled out a cake you ordered yourself from your favorite shop. Placing it on the table, you put the candles on and sat down in front of it. “Happy Birthday to me…happy birthday to me…” You began to sing before letting out a sob. Your candles were put out from your tears. Another year alone and many more to go.
“If I could be her…but I’m not her and she’s not me.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors note: This was just little one-shot. An idea that always comes to mind whenever I listen to that amazing song! I am working on part 3 of the Biomedical Engineer x Miguel. Hopefully this weekend it comes out along with the last part of my first father figure Miguel x reader. Please check those out if you haven’t. I’m stuck if I should make this into a full series as well, but I don’t know if people would interest in it. Anyways, as always sorry for any grammar errors. Thank you all for the support! Remember to stay hydrated and to keep on simping! (Simp City Population: 62!) Thank you so much for the follows and please you are welcome to reblog my works for others to be aware of this new Miguel O’Hara simp writer!

Snow Falls… In Love?
Part 3 (Finale) ❄️
Yandere Coriolanus Snow x innocent!Reader
Female Pronouns
Word Count: 3.1k
Warnings: Obsessive Behavior, Manipulation, Yandere, Coriolanus Snow, Hunger Gamed typical warnings
Click below for the other parts! ❄️
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Tumblr media
Snow kept his promise. The day after the games ended he woke up next to Y/N as the sun shined in then from the window. He simply laid there and watched as she slept and the ride and fall of her chest. It meant she was alive and that’s all he ever wanted.
She began to stir and her eyes opened tiredly before peering up at the boy who didn’t even try and look away.
“Why are you staring at me? Is my hair that bad?” Y/N teased as she used her fingers to brush down her hair. She’d never woken up beside someone before so that little nagging thought in her mind wanted her to look presentable.
“You look as beautiful as ever.” He leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. She blushed flustered. It was odd. Going from waking up in a dingy vent, fearing for her life every second as more and more people died. Now she was laying in bed with the boy she thought she loved, but it was hard to determine. After all, who wouldn’t grow some sort of appreciation for the one who saved their life?
“Oh I doubt it.”
They continued to go back and forth teasing each other, almost making the air in the room feel that much lighter. To outsiders it looked like a married couple. They got ready and cooked breakfast together in an apartment Corio rented just for her. It was all very domestic as they simply sat in each others presence talking about what the plans are for the future,
After receiving the prize money along with Y/N, they went out to the shops and bought her clothes and the apartment, both of which she greatly protested not wanting him to spend money on her but he ignored her.
Then he paid off all of the debt for the Snow estate so Tigres and Grand’mam wouldn’t have to move for as long as they both lived. Sure it was technically his but he figured he’d be spending more time with his soon-to-be wife before they'd move in.
Coriolanus was someone who always thought about the future and so he made plans. He wanted to be married as soon as possible. It didn’t matter how long they’d known each other but he loved her. He wasn’t going to let some stuck-up capital prick take her away from him.
He gave it a week.
Y/N and he went on dates and he showed her things she couldn’t ever dream of. Of course, it only brought up her admiration but now she knew she liked him if not loved him.
Life or death makes people do crazy things.
The kiss at the capital zoo was something she thought about constantly. Now that the looming figure of death wasn't influencing her every move, she had time to think about what it meant, as well as the fact he called her 'my love' in the arena. She doubted he even remembered the last part cause he had never brought it up since.
Y/N wanted to believe all of these dates meant something. Meant that they would someday be together. But to her, it seemed like false hope. After all, no one would approve of them nor would Corio deserve to be stuck with someone from the districts.
Y/N and him were in their practically shared apartment when he asked her to come to the living room.
"What is it Corio?" She asked as they sat down on the couch. He took her hand into his and made his features appear sad.
"The President sent a letter today...'' He trailed off to see her reaction which was immediately frightened giving him the cue to comfort her. "He wants to send you back to District 12 to show them the control of the games"
"No! I don't want to go back! There is nothing for me there. My family is dead, I had no friends, I can't go back to that. You are all I have Corio!" She blurted out the last part before covering her mouth as if it was some sort of crime. It only made Coriolanus love her more. After all, that's what he wanted. her reliance only on him.
"He gave an ultimatum" Y/N shook in fear at the idea. What would it be? Would she be forced into hurting more people? Would she be treated worse then she was in District 12? There seemed to be no way to win. But she finally asked what it was.
"You have to marry me" Her jaw dropped and she instantly turned red. "He wants someone to be watching over you, someone from the capital in order to ensure you don't 'embarrass them' as he said. We could try and find you someone else-"
"No. Please." Y/N begged, she did not want to be sent away nor did she want to be stuck with someone she did not love. "I don't want this for you Corio. You deserve someone with a higher standing. I can't help you get anywhere in the capital and we know it is all about connections and standing, to which I have neither. I'll go back, I love you Corio, but-"
Coriolanus froze at the admission. Sure he loved her with his entire heart. Y/N was his reason for living. She was his.
But he didn't know she fell for him just as he did her, even if it was at a lesser level.
He reached over and pulled her into his lap, her legs on either side of his as he put both hands on the side of her face to bring her closer.
"I love you Y/N. I could never imagine being with anyone else. I want you by my side for the rest of my life." He brought her close and kissed her gently to which she reciprocated. Both tried to put their emotions int the kiss once more but it felt different. Y/N did not know how to pinpoint the feeling.
So she agreed.
Coriolanus had never felt happier. He had the girl, the money, and the power.
But all that rises must fall at some point.
It was the day before their wedding. everything was planned out. Even Tigres made her a beautiful dress just waiting to be worn down the aisle.
Corio had been on his way back home to Y/N when he saw Sejanus go down an alleyway looking around hesitantly. So he followed him.
He was led to a door that was thin enough to hear through if someone tried hard enough and oh he did.
"I know a way out. It can get us out of Panem. If you just go north-" Sejanus was talking to an unknown voice. Coriolanus felt betrayed, he knew how much a sympathizer he was to the rebels but he never thought Sejanus would go as far as to abandon Panem. He grabbed a small recorder from his briefcase and slipped it under the door just enough to catch the information more clearly.
They seemed to be in a rush, not even bothering to check out the door if anyone was there. Nor glancing at the blinking red light.
Once he had enough information Coriolanus took it and ran out of the alley. Walking once he got out in order to not look suspicious.
He quickly went home, letting himself in as he heard Y/N cooking in the other room. The idea of seeing her and getting married the next day made him forget about the recorder sitting in his jacket pocket.
"Hello my love" He spoke as he walked in kissing her cheek. She blushed at the name but returned the greeting. Y/N was still getting used to the pet names and casual admissions of love. After that day on the couch determining they were to be married and they loved each other, he had changed. She noticed he was constantly checking in on her and telling her about how dangerous it was to go out without him. After all, they didn't love her like he did. They wouldn't understand what she had been through so they wouldn't treat her right.
He instilled all of these thoughts into her head and her fear of leaving the apartment alone increased by the sentence. Even when she woke up screaming from nightmares of dying or killing someone. He was right there comforting her, he could still see the kind and innocent glint that shined bright, the reason the capital loved her.
After all, she was what they could never be. They were too full of pride, gluttony, lust, and greed.
He asked her about her day, albeit their was not much to do around the apartment so she sketched.
"Could I see it?" He asked and her eyes lit up as he showed interest in something important to her but she shook her head "It's not done yet. How was your day?"
She successfully deterred him from her and he went on about his day, not including the aspect of Sejanus's 'betrayal'.
They finished their dinner and began getting ready for bed. Y/N still was not comfortable changing in the same room so she straightened up the living room.
Y/N spotted his blood-red suit coat sitting on the chair by the entry way and went to grab it to hang it up but as she did something fell out of the pocket.
She looked down and saw a.. box? It fell open on impact leavig a small recorder to fall out. She knew he carried one around to have in classes or whenever he was learning with Dr. Volumnia but he usually left it with his other materials.
Y/N bent down to pick it up, accidently pushing the 'play' button on the side. She was startled and attempted to turn it off when she heard what it was saying. The rebels. Leaving Panem. All of it.
Why would he have recorded this? She didn't know or at least she didn't want to believe it.
Turning the box around she saw "To Dr. Volumnia" Y/N knew of Coriolanus's loyalty to the Capital, he would never leave it. She knew he was working to design the Hunger Games and of course, a part of her broke at the idea. But, he always treated her like she was worth everything and she loved him.
He was planning to turn Sejanus, someone she met and determine she liked, in as a rebel.
Coriolanus Snow walked into the room, annoucing it was her turn to change and get ready when he saw what she was holding. His heart beat faster and his jaw clenched.
Of course it wasnt Y/N's failt, it was Sejanus's for putting him in this postion.
"Sweetheart?" He called softly as if she was a frightful animal.
"What were you going to do Coriolanus" Y/N spoke giving him a look of anguish.
"What is right."
"This is not right! Sejanus is your friend!"
Coriolanus scoffed at the idea of his 'friend' he was a traitor.
Although Corio supposes he should thank him, after all once he turns this in he will be praised and likely bring him and his love even higher up in the world.
"I don't need him." He walked over taking the box and recorder from her hands before returning it to his coat pocket.
Y/N rushed for the front door. The coldness in his voice scared her. He was willing to sacrifice his childhood friend for what? Power? Money? What she did know was that she did not want to be next on that list.
She pulled it open but a hand reached above her head, shutting it instantly before pushing her against it.
He held both of her wrists above her head as she struggled before growing tired. The adrenaline and anger are being replaced by fear and sadness.
"This is for us my love. When I give this to Dr. Volumnia she will tell everyone what I did for the Capital. How I saved it from the rebels and traitors that claimed to be one of us."
"But I am not one of you! My name is Y/N L/N, and I am from District 12. I hold no power with my last name nor do I have a fortune to sit behind. I am part of the Districts!" He kissed her harshly before he began to speak
"Sure right now you are, but tomorrow? We will be married, You will become Y/N Snow. An heiress to the Snow name and future First Lady of Panem."
Y/N scoffed as she looked at him defiantly. Of course she loved him, it wouldnt turn off in the blink of a eye. He was all she has ever known after being alone for so many years but he was foolish to think she would still marry him.
"I would rather be sent back to District 12, Hell even marry some stuck-up prick than marry you." Her words lacked venom which he picked up on but it only mildly dulled his anger.
His delusions of his love didnt allow him to be anger at her. After all, all of this was Senjanus's fault for corresponding with the rebels in the first place. It isnt Y/N's fault that her sweet mind was corrupted by those foolish rebels.
Still, He wouldn't reveal that the president wasn't forcing them to be married, why would he expose more secrets that are already laid to rest.
"You act as if you have a choice, my love. We will be married tomorrow Y/N Snow. This will all come to pass and we will be the happiest couple in Panem. I will give you everything you've ever desired. My love for you will never die Y/N."
Y/N struggled some more before he reached into his other pocket of the nearby coat. It held some powdered substance. He kept Y/N pushed against the door with his body before quickly opening the powder and blowing a small pinch in her face,
"What did you do?" She cried out, worried it was the same poison se used in the games. "Did you poison me?'
Coriolanus's face grew sympathetic as he put the powder away and picked her up bridal style as her muscles grew limp.
"Of course not my love. I would never hurt you. I'm sorry I worried you, This will just help you get some sleep. After all, we have a big day tomorrow." Y/N went to protest as she felt her eyes close and his grip around her loosened as she was laid in the bed. "Sweet dreams."
Meanwhile, he went and grabbed her sketchbook. He was curious about what she had spent the day drawing and he had nothing else to do before joining his dear fiancée in bed.
He opened it to see a drawing of the two of them, it was an almost photographic image of one of their dates when he took her on a picnic.
Coriolanus tore the page out and placed it in a frame, she claimed it was not finished but he had a feeling it was just cause she was embarrassed to show him.
Walking back to the bedroom he got into bed, kissing Y/N's forehead who was out like a light.
Knowing he would be getting what he dreamed of when he awoke the next day.
~*~
Y/N awoke the next day to Coriolanus out of the room. He sent stylists to help her get ready and had a few guards blocking the exit. The outside at that. He would not allow any men near her while she was getting ready. He didn't trust anyone's intentions, not even the women but someone had to get her ready, and Tigres would cave in an instant. He paid them to get her ready as they were assigned to ignore anything she said about leaving or not going through the wedding.
After all, he couldn't do it himself, it was bad luck to see his bride before the wedding.
After a lot of struggling Y/N figured it wasn't the stylists' fault. She vowed to not lose her values even now.
Then she was escorted to the wedding venue. No one was there to walk her down the aisle and nobody filled the seating area other than Tigres and his Grand'mam.
The officiator stood at the end of the path, white rose petals lining the surface leading her to snow himself.
Y/N walked herself up to the podium where Coriolanus took her hands in an inescapable grip but the poor girl had already succumbed herself to her fate.
She told herself it was because she was tired and there was no way she would get out of this.
But a part of her heart ruled her actions. Just wanting to stay by the man who seemed to love her so dearly that he couldn't stand being without her. She would never admit it.
Not even during their vows where he promised to love her for all of eternity. That she would be his forever.
Not as he slid a beautiful ring on her finger that seemed to be made just for her.
Not even when the question finally came after his own.
"Y/N L/N, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in marriage in Panem, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
Coriolanus gazed into her eyes, a look prompting her to say 'I do'.
A tear fell. For what she didn't know, A loss of freedom? or was it happiness to be married to the man she loved? Y/N felt as if she was forsaking her love and kindness, everything her mother wanted her to be, if she didn't try and fight back. But it was just so hard, she was tired of fighting.
"I do."
"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Snow, you may now kiss the bride."
Coriolanus didn't waste another second as he dipped Y/N lovingly. It was a kiss straight out of a romance novel. She kissed him back unknowingly and he knew right then she still loved him without any words needing to be said.
After all, Snow always lands on top.
~*~
Thank you guys for all the love of this story. I am hoping to do more Coriolanus x Reader in the future. After all once I see the movie again Tom Blythe will pull me right back in. I hope you all loved the ending and thank you again 💙
Also this is just an ironic fact but I didn’t do the word count in purpose.

What is it like being trans in New Hampshire? I'm trans in Maine and generally consider NH the black sheep of New England when it comes to queer politics. Some of my trans friends consider it a no-stop zone on our roadtrips.
uh it's pretty fine for me. i get kinda sad when people say NH isnt trans friendly (a sentiment ive seen a lot lately). i had an openly transitioning teacher in high school. i had many gay teachers in high school. i was one of the first kids to transition openly at my school & there were a lot of struggles but it was also 6+ years ago & mostly teachers were under-educated & didn't know how to protect me. i got in a fight & suspended over a kid who was transphobic toward me, but i was allowed to use the boy's bathroom & locker room & all of my core teachers were pretty good about using my name & pronouns
i have multiple trans friends, just locally, & know other trans people a little further out in NH from following them on IG. some pretty decent art scenes in various towns & those are LGBT-dense. one of my trans friends started estrogen yesterday (prescription thru informed consent). i will say in my experience, NH healthcare is lacking for transsexuals—it's been easier for me to go thru Massachusetts or NH planned parenthoods, but ive been able to receive treatment fairly easily (cost being one of the only major negative factors)
as for people, a lot of folks kind of don't care? there are of course republicans & conservatives & a disheartening amount of libertarians, but in my day to day, it's mostly "live free or die" & if you're not hurting anyone, it's not too big of a deal. some of the republicans in my life (like friends' dads) have the attitude of "well i don't get it" but they still call me silas & are generally alright with me, aren't hostile towards me
i see trans flags pretty often. i saw a bumper sticker last month that was the shape of NH completely colored in with the trans flag. there are a bunch of coffee shops & bookstores & artsy places nearby i can think of that employ trans people, house trans art, etc
recently, anti-trans & anti-LGBT bills have been introduced & passed in NH. two passed last month, which can be read about here. i saw some pretty disgusting sentiments shared about those bills on twitter when they were introduced. those make it harder to exist here, but it's not impossible & it does not immediately make all residents hostile toward transsexuals. i don't want people to abandon NH because they think it's too far gone or too hopeless. trans people will always exist in every state & every country & every corner, no matter how hostile those places become
people here love me, regardless of how political parties view me. people here fight for me. there are trans people & Black people & disabled people here who are more vulnerable than me who i want to stay & fight for & protect. if you'd like to learn more about diversity in NH & how to protect various human rights, here are some orgs i am familiar with:
NH PANTHERS (anti-racism advocacy & education)
Queer-Lective (art, education, & connection)
Black Lives Matter NH
GLSEN NH (LGBT resources & education for schools/teachers/students)
Reproductive Freedom Fund of NH (abortion fund, sex ed, LGBT advocacy)
603 Equality (LGBT advocacy & education)
Lovering Health Center (reproductive care, LGBT education, gender affirming care for NH, MA, & ME)
Black Heritage Trail of NH (Black history)
ACLUNH (civil liberties + human rights)

everything about him annoyed you, his stupid fake laugh, the way he playfully flirted with you and never meant any of it. you were never close to chan by any means; he was a part of your friend group. you had seen him a bunch of times, nothing too familiar, but every time you did meet, he absolutely ripped into you, like a school boy teasing his crush. how fucking mature. he was like a mosquito, buzzing around you and annoying you with every sound. if you had not restrained yourself you would have slapped him like one too.
the first time you had encountered him drunk was about a week ago.
chan was laughing, his arms flailing around as he made some joke about how he wouldn't date you. this added fuel to the fire, the fact that he thought that dating you would be something funny in the first place, amuse in his tone as he gestured to you. he had joked to your friends about how you'd look when you wake up, all puffy and funny to see. and the way your clumsiness would annoy him and how you'd be too hard to keep up with.
your mind pulsing with ideas on how to really annoy him, to get him back for what he was saying.
then again, you were drunk as well.
fuck it, you had thought as you had pushed him into his room by the end of the night, cornering him in the hallway. you had told him you knew what would really piss him off.
the party he had held ending up with both of your clothes on the ground in a drunken fog, whispers of how much he frustrated you between your lips as he let you take control, loving the way you talked down to him and put him in his place.
that morning you had left, not saying a word, gathering your clothes to escape his room. what you hadn't noticed was the forlorn expression on his face when you didn't look back.
-
why you had agreed to go shopping with changbin and chan around a week later, you have no idea. but, you did want a new necklace, though. the one that chan broke on that night in a rush to take your shirt off, was now sitting on your desk at home, sad and unworn. you hadn't spoken to chan about that night, wanting to forget your druken decision. it wasn't like you didn't want to but, what on earth would you say?
a sour expression painted onto your face as you walked beside changbin, chan on the other side. they were talking about some new game changbin wanted to try. you just followed, sipping the last of your coffee as you listened.
"look, didn't you want a new necklace?" changbin had asked, finger pointing to the alternative jewellery store.
unfortunately, there was nothing you really wanted until one specifically stood out to you. a semi-choker silver necklace, small chains hanging from the sides, and two jagged flame knife like ornaments messily placed between. it was perfect. what wasn't perfect was the price.
"three hundred dollars?! yikes."
"yeah, that is pricey." changbin had said, chan coming to his side.
"it is pretty though." chan chimed in, placing his hand on the glass to get a better look. you watched him as he studied the necklace, his bottom lip between his teeth with thought.
"would look better on me than you." he teased.
you sighed, turning on your heel to leave the store. you weren't in the mood for his antics.
"i think i'm gonna go guys, just don't feel the best."
-
two weeks later, you found yourself back at chan's for one of his parties. nobody knows what you were celebrating, but you were enjoying yourself, at least.
there's just less than twenty people there, some people you didn't know. though chan hadn't been in your friend group for long, he definitely seemed to be making his way around the group with his charm, everyone loving him more and more each day. anytime someone talked to you about him, you'd smile and nod. but once they turned their backs you'd be mocking childishly about how great he was.
chan this chan that bler blah bler shut up.
the longer the night goes on the more you find yourself observing chan. his smile is wide, laughing about something. stupid little prick. like a damn thorn in your side.
changbin hands you a beer from behind as he walks past, distracting you from your petty glare.
"so he broke your necklace? how?" hyunjin asks, lips frowning because he knew how much you loved it. it was your favourite.
"ah, he was just messing around." you say, trying to not remember how it really happened.
any time your mind wanders back to that night. the way his hand slipped around your throat, had your body shivering. how he placed kisses onto your throat, how hungry he was.
huh?
pfft, you say to no one, pissing yourself off with where your mind was going.
oh no, you've summoned him with your thoughts.
"what about me?" chan asks, skipping over to interrupt your conversation.
you stretch your lips into a thin line. "ah it's just-"
"how on earth did you break their necklace?" hyunjin says, gesturing towards you.
chan just stares at you, amuse on his face, like he's going to spill the beans. he waits for your response, brows raised.
"we were just play fighting." you say as you take a swig of your beer.
"play fighting?" hyunjin questions, brows raised.
"yeah, something like that." chan says, small proud expression on his face.
an weird silence sits around you, you're not sure of how to continue.
"i didn't think you were that close." hyunjin laughs, standing from the seat.
chan slides next to you on the couch, replacing hyunjin, swinging one of his legs over to your own. "we got really close-"
crack, your hand slams down on chan's thigh, leaving a bright red mark. "shut up."
-
the sound of up beat low-fi music echoes off your walls as you arrive back home.
earlier, chan had happily accepted the offer in trade for helping you make some furniture. changbin had thrown the idea to chan, saying he was better with putting furniture than himself. he was kind of right, chan was currently hyper focused like you had never seen before. his eyes darting back and fourth from the ikea instructions. it's not like you were bad at it, you just wanted someone to be emotional support while you probably made it wrong. but chan had taken over, saying he'd built it before.
you make your way down the hall but as you turn the corner from your kitchen, a little bit too fast, you're met with the door frame.
"ah fuck!" you exclaim, hastily trying to find a place to put the drinks on.
chan chuckles, not even offering a hand to help. "should look where you're going stupid."
you groan, rubbing the offending spot with your free hand. "you're only here because i offered to buy you bubble tea."
chan cheekily grins, getting to his feet to grab the tea, not to console you.
"now," he starts, eyes wide with sarcasm. "that's a door frame, not a door."
he's basically patronising you at this point.
"shut the fuck up, you're so annoying." you say through your teeth, swatting in his direction, he's too fast, zippy like a mouse.
"i'd be rich if i had a dollar for every time you told me to fuck off or shut up." chan laughs, poking out his tongue.
you roll your eyes, placing your drink down on the ground.
"it's the small nails, right?" you ask as you fumble with some nails, half of the packet falling to the floor before you can even lift them.
"yeah, those." chan chuckles, pointing in your direction. totally ignoring the embarrassing mess you made.
it's odd, you were actually getting along, well, in a kind of cat and mouse way. when you had said you were getting a larger bed he had joked about how you'd break it in. at first you thought it was funny, but then realised what he was actually meaning. your slaps were anything but gentle, chan pleading for you to stop.
the two of you finished building the bed in no time, both laying back onto your new mattress in triumph. laughs dance in the air as you talk about how chan had held two of the smaller planks in the curves of his butt cheeks.
"i remember you showed me the chopsticks, but planks? colour me impressed."
"yeah, i've out done myself." he laughs, rolling to face you. "did you end up getting that new necklace?"
"nah," you sigh facing him. "too expensive. i'll keep looking."
chan says nothing, lips pouting in thought.
-
the next morning, you had awoke to a knock at the door.
"who the fuck comes this early?" you had grumbled to yourself, shuffling your bare feet towards the entrance to open the door. when you looked down, you saw a small package, wrapped kind of badly with a note on it. you bent down to pick it up, knees cracking beneath you. it read -
'nah, would look better on you than me.'
"eh?" you said to no one, unwrapping the present to find with that very necklace you had wanted in that store. your fingers ran across the flames, admiring the beauty before you, price tag still in tact.
you're not sure if this was chan apologising, or just another joke. none the less, even if it was a joke you were still going to wear it. it was perfect, and would match with the many silver piercings on your ears.
a vibration startles you, your phone buzzing in your pocket.
'fuck head' the phone chimed, a picture of chan asleep face first on the couch blinking with the phones light.
you hesitantly agree to the video call, probably not your best angle, you think, as you answer it.
"do you like it?" he asks, his hand placing itself behind his head.
"no." you returned dryly, walking back inside, placing it down on the counter. no, you didn't like it, you loved it. "it's okay."
you clear your throat, kind of annoyed by his call. "why are you calling?"
"no reason." he smiles, leaning back against what seems to be his car seat. "thought you'd like it, dude."
"dude." you mock him, pulling a face at the phone.
he laughs, head dipping for a moment. "cute."
ignoring his charm, you sigh. "chan, what do you want? i wanna go back to bed."
"want me to join?" he questions, one brow raising. you're not sure if this is a joke or not, once again, but you're too tired to care.
"whatever."
you watched him sit forward, placing his phone down for a second, before you hear the rustle of his car keys. "i'll see you soon!"
"what?!"
click, chan had ended the phone call. the little shit was waiting in his car the whole time.
-
so this was where you were at, chan in your bed for some unknown reason. you're not doing anything, just laying in silence, covers up to your chin. it's kinda awkward. you feel sleep tugging at your body already.
"what possessed you to actually come to my house? you know we're not that close." you felt the words of honesty leave your lips.
"i unno."
you tut at him, "yeah we fucked once, but we were drunk. you still annoy the shit out of me."
chan laughs, turning onto his side, absolutely making himself at home. "it was good, though. well, from what i remember."
you scoff, turning to face him. "yeah, it was okay."
the look on his face kind of makes your tummy turn, he looks hurt but he tries to cover it with a laugh. "i can make up for-"
"chan..." you start, hands flinging down onto the bed. "you don't need to joke all the time. it happened, yeah? it is what it is."
"aw c'mon, i can do better." he half sings.
you groan at his antics, sleepiness making you irritated the more he goes on. "you need to stop. you're teasing gets too much sometimes."
"nah you like-"
"this is what i'm talking about. you never take anything seriously. you always make fun of me, and it makes me feel like shit. do you seriously have no indication of how you make me feel?"
chan frowns, looking down to the doona cover. "i just- i don't know."
"what? you what?"
"you're just so easy to tease." he chuckles, his hand grabbing the side of your arm to shake you.
you sit upwards shrugging him off, frustration in your tone as you rub your eyes. "you can leave if you're not gonna take me seriously."
"okay... you're right." he follows, sitting to face you crossing his legs. he fumbles with his hands, "i like you, okay?"
"huh?"
"i like you."
"i don't like you." you return.
"see, this is why i didn't wanna tell you. you're so grumpy at me all the time."
"yeah, i'm grumpy because you make me grumpy. always pulling on my hair, tripping me and making fun of me."
neither of you is sure how to continue, you just want to sleep. why you let him in is still beyond you, fatigue taking over your decisions, something like that.
"look," he sighs, running his fingers through his hair. "i really like you, but i'm not sure how to be around you. you're kind of cold sometimes, and i dunno how to get past it."
chan's kind of right, you were generally more stand-offish than your other friends, and you were kind of hard to read sometimes. maybe it was just to him. yeah, just him.
"what are you? twelve? so you've been making fun of me for weeks because you... like me?"
"yeeeah."
"you're an idiot."
"sometimes."
"ugh, i'm going to sleep."
you choose to ignore what his saying, but you'd be lying if there wasn't a delight in what you were feeling. it was kind of powerful, knowing you held the next move. you thought about what it would be like to date him, mind reeling with possibilities. and no, the drunk sex wasn't okay, it was mind blowing from what you remember. but then again, it could have just been the alcohol amplifying your experience. then again, maybe he's just joking. just wanted to get into your pants again. either way, you were in charge now.
eventually, sleep tugs at your eyes. you faintly remember feeling his hand slip around your waist as you doze off.
-
when you wake you feel him against you, one of his hands pressed into your chest gripping onto it for dear life, his hips melding into your own. you barely remember falling asleep. was he holding me this whole time?
you turn your body to face him, his hands still around your waist, fingers fitting into the soft rolls on your side. his puffy lips look so inviting, slightly open and moisturised. he's still asleep, little hums in the air as he breathes. you ponder on what he was saying earlier that morning, maybe he wasn't joking, maybe all of this was a façade just because he wasn't sure how to approach your supposed cold demeanour.
one of his eyes opens, squinting from the faint light from the day. he says nothing. you stay like this for a while, just admiring him. his curly hair looks so soft, you want to run your hands through them again. wait what?
you can feel it, the urge to kiss him. the urge to relive that night you had before. you weren't sure if he actually liked you, or that you liked him, or if it was just physical. regardless, you were curious.
your left hand slowly raises itself to wrap itself in his hair, he allows the touch, head leaning into your slow strokes. he hums lowly, voice a little raspy from the sleep. your hand comes back to his cheek, thumb rubbing just underneath his eyes.
whatever possessed you to kiss him you don't know. nonetheless you lean in, your lips lightly sliding against his soft ones. the kiss is gentle, as if chan is hesitant to let himself go. a small moan leaves your lips, your leg raising to rest on his side. he continues the kiss, hands digging into your sides a bit deeper.
abruptly, he stops. before you can even comprehend what's happening,
"i think... you need to think about this." he speaks, breath mixing in with your own.
"no, c'mon." you go to lean in again to taste him, but he pulls back more, frowning and avoiding your eyes.
"are you just doing this because it's convenient? just because you know i like you?"
"i thought you just wanted to fuck?"
his hand slips from your waist as he moves his body from yours, now picking up his phone and keys. "i'm not a toy you can pick up and use as you please. i have feelings."
"you don't seem to care for mine when you fuck me around all the time." you scoff, "it takes two to tango."
"i know i can be a bit much... but i do have them. don't take my confession lightly." he says under his breath. "call me when you make up your mind."
without another word he leaves, not making a single peep as the front door slams behind him.
-
neither of you talk for the next few days. he was right, you decide, fingers dancing along the necklace you had chosen not to wear yet. it's like if you put it on it will mean something, mean that you're giving him the green flag to go. to chase you, to want you with permission.
you think back to the kiss, how he hummed as he moved his lips against your own. it sent jolts down to the pit of your stomach every time it enters your mind, the urge to touch yourself strong.
tiredness is in your eyes, you're so damn tired from work and the thoughts that have been swimming in your mind. should i call him?
sighing, you lean back onto your pillows, taking out your phone to scroll to his name. another long breath leaves you, your heart beginning to race. you're confused.
what the hell is that?
do i want this?
no, absolutely not.
i probably just like the attention...?
your legs flail back and fourth on the bed, much like you're having a little tantrum.
wait... maybe?
he is really cute, seems affectionate.
but he fucking annoys me.
frustrated groans escape your throat, maybe one more leg flail will help you decide.
you could always try, maybe, just to see what it's like. it kind of makes sense when you think about. you slap yourself on the forehead, maybe it'll jolt your brain into making a decision.
"okay okay! i'll do it." you say to one of your plushies, trying to hype yourself in any way.
eventually you suck up the courage to call. when he answers the phone he doesn't say anything, just looks into the camera waiting for you to speak. you sit in silence, kind of just staring at each other.
"yes?" he finally chimes, his tone an indication of slight satisfaction.
you scowl, biting on the sides of your cheeks. "fine."
-
a month had gone by with the slow beginnings of your new relationship. you hadn't labelled anything, deciding to take things slow. it was actually quite fun, much to your surprise. there was always something exciting planned, chan jumping around you like a little kid whenever he won at an arcade game. it was cute. now, everything he usually did to annoy you seemed to become increasingly adorable. whenever he pulled your hair it was for a kiss on the cheek. whenever he laughed it was genuine to what you were saying. he had wriggled his way, just a little bit, into your heart, but not your bed.
it had been a few days since you'd seen him, both of you busy with work and other things. when you lay back on your bed, absolutely tired and fatigued, you hear your phone buzz. you know it's him, your heart thumps. damn heart.
looking down at the screen you see the name 'baby girl'. definitely a step up from fuck head. you answer the call.
"am i still baby girl in your phone?"
"yes." you laugh, turning onto your side.
chan bites his bottom lip, searching your face. "you look beautiful."
"what on earth are you talking about?"
you look at yourself in phone screen, you're definitely not in your best element. the mascara you had applied earlier slightly smudged, hair a little curled from your sweat and one of your eyebrows not properly coloured in. you groan, pushing your face into one of your pillows.
"no, i mean it!" he argues, laughing into the phone.
"whatev-"
"whatever." he mocks you automatically, knowing exactly what you were going to say. some old habits die hard.
the two of you talk about your day, how work was going and what projects he was working on. eventually it ends up in a discussion about the first night you spent together, but not having one like that since.
"yeah, why is that?" you ask, sitting back up in your bed.
"i think... i just want you to be sure."
you hum in thought, "i am sure."
"but this just isn't a hook up. we're dating now? i guess."
"you guess?" you laugh in slight disbelief. "what we been doing for this past month?"
"being cute." he says, eyes rolling comically. "ah, but yeah i guess you're right. if i'm going to be honest i still feel apprehensive."
"you do? why?"
"long story."
you roll to your side, lip pouting at the camera. "i have time, i want to know."
"honesty?"
you smile. "always."
"okay so, i guess it's just... i still don't know if i can believe you like me back. like, hear me out. i know you do, but i'm afraid that you just want the physical because that's how it was before, you know?"
"chan-"
"no i just... i want to trust this. i want to trust you. but something is telling me i shouldn't... maybe that's my anxiety."
a sharp ache, like turning daggers hit the base of your heart, how could he think that? you'd been spending the whole month with him, taking things slow like he wants. yes, you still play fought like little kids. chan annoying you would usually ending up in him in a head lock or a noogy, threats of a bite coming from your mouth.
what he's saying makes sense in the end, he has every reason to feel these worries. it's absolutely valid with how you began things with him.
you sit upright, leaning your chin on your hand. "do you wanna come round and talk about it?"
"yeah." he says letting out a long breath.
-
the only thing that chan had said when he entered your room was how much he missed you, how he was so happy to see you and how beautiful you looked. his lips were all over your face, kissing every bit of skin he could find. you enjoyed this. at first the affection seemed to turn you off, but now you found yourself melting into his touches.
when you eventually settled onto your bed, which still wasn't broken in, he would joke later, you found yourself patting your thighs. he looked slightly hesitant as he leaned forwards.
"you know you can come over whenever, right?" you chuckle, giving him a gentle smile. "we don't have to be so formal-"
almost aggressively, he pushes you onto your back, lifting your bed shirt to bunch at your chest.
"no talk, just tummy." he says face planting into your soft belly, hands finding their way around your waist for grip.
the affection surprised you, but wasn't unwelcome in the slightest. you realise you hadn't been this outwardly intimate before, this vulnerable with each other. it felt weirdly natural, much to your amuse. it wasn't as if you hadn't been physically intimate, always leaving the night with red marks along your neck and blotches on your cheeks. that one night doesn't count you justify to yourself. this was like a reset, a new way to start.
the boy doesn't speak, just breathes against you. your hands end up finding their way to his back, running underneath the cotton to rub soothing circles.
"mmm." he mumbles before pressing a kiss on your belly button.
the way that chan appreciates your body, every curve and slope, makes you feel like you're on cloud nine. he never once questioned it, always enjoying you as a whole.
"didn't you wanna talk?" you say leaning your head to the side.
"no..." he huffs.
though you know you need to talk, there's nothing more precious to you right now than this moment. chan's face lifting to press delicate kisses onto your stomach, slowly making their way to your neck and eventually your cheeks.
"such a love bug." you laugh, allowing him to have his way.
chan leans back, his hands still around you. "you actually love it, don't you?"
damn, you've been cornered. "mmmaybe."
"you totally do, you're a softy!"
"psh, look who's talking."
"oi yeah, at least i admit it."
you roll your eyes, knowing you've absolutely been caught. "okay maybe i am, but we shouldn't get distracted. talk to me."
chan lets out a long breath, his grip on you still strong. there's so much emotion on his face, you're not sure which one he's feeling. it seems he can't form the words, he can't put his finger on what he wants to say. you kind of know what direction this is going, so you decide to take the lead.
"babe," you begin, facing your body to him more. he looks back at you, the right of his lip curled downwards. he almost looks like he's about to cry.
"should i start?"
chan just nods, eyes on you.
"i know we started rocky, and i know why you feel hesitant. i would too. that night when we first... you know. it was more of a... an angry 'fuck you' kind of thing for me. and i never imagined it would actually lead to me liking you. i really thought about it, and how even though we're opposites, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it? cat and mouse? maybe i liked you from the start but didn't know it, probably why i hated you so much, couldn't figure out my damn feelings."
sharply, his head snaps to you, lips turning into a smirk. "sooo, you do like me?"
you scrunch your nose at him and frown. "is that all you got from that?"
"that's all i needed." he says as he pushes you back for more kisses, hands wriggling their way under your shirt.
"chan!" you giggle between his attacks. "we're not done!"
this time it seems right. it seems less rushed at first, more innocent in a way. it's an even playing field, both of you finally admitting how you actually felt and discussing the worries you had. chan had spoken in depth about his trust issues, and how he sometimes thought you were playing with him still. with reassurance, you held his cheeks in your hands telling him this wasn't a joke and that it was real.
your kisses sealed his worries away, with every 'but' or 'why' he murmured against your lips. it's not until you told him to shut up already did he take it seriously, seemingly waiting for your command.
though he was he one physically in control, you were calling the shots, whispering how good he was doing and how it made you wet anytime you had thought about this prior. this was just encouraging him more, you were nothing but a mess beneath him to his touches.
before you knew it, your clothes were somewhere on the floor, his following soon after.
the next few minutes is a haze, you're not entirely sure what happened to get to this point, but just from the shallow strokes of his fingers in your cunt alone, you were sent into spirals. his movements getting deeper and more calculated, enjoying the way you squealed and held onto his arms. he followed your body, assessing what you needed. the more he went on the harder he got, fingers going deeper and hitting that one spot you needed him to.
"please." you whine, feet placing themselves on his shoulders.
a grin paints across his face. it didn't take long for you to get to your peak, not with his tongue gently pressing against your clit, circling just around the edges. your head falls back, a silent scream coming from your throat the closer you get, hips rocking into his fingers and face.
your orgasm tightens across your body, fingers gripping anything they can find. it takes you a while to get back to reality, your body melting into the mattress.
"such a dick." you had breathed shortly after your high, laughing in trance like state. "shit."
he chuckles into your thigh, wiping your juices off of his cheek.
"hmm." he hums sitting upright, one finger still slowly dragging out and back into you. you wince at the over stimulation, legs trying to clamp shut.
looking down you notice his cock against his belly, red and at full attention.
he notices your glare and his hand stops. "ah we don't-"
"chan, if you don't let me fuck you right now, i'm going to scream."
with that, chan happily lets you take control, your hands on his chest as you push him back onto the bed. you can feel him sitting against your core, your wetness soaking onto him. you take in a sharp breath, still slightly over stimulated as you roll your hips.
the way he looks at you feel embarrassing almost, he's beaming at you, his hands gently pushing your hair behind your ear.
"stop." you say shyly, hiding your face in your chest.
"no, i want to see all of you."
the words are so raw and so honest, it's so much different than last time. there's no malice and no rush. no hate or resentment.
it's the way he looks at you. maybe he looked at you like this all along, you were too busy being petty to notice, maybe.
when you look down, you're met with a gentleness, a softness he seemingly reserves only for you. his eyes are filled with warmth, loving every part of you as it is.
you slowly raise the right of your hip, angling him at your entrance. he takes in a sharp breath as you push yourself down, his hands finding their way to the height of your back, pulling you in closer. one of your hands rests on his cheek, your other beside him for balance.
fuck, he feels so good. a slow hot ache pooling in the base of your stomach expands, small jolts of pleasure tingle across your body with every motion. his girth stretching you open feels incredible, and with the way you're lazily moving your hips; it has his breath laboured, faster.
"chan..." you begin, still shy in your actions, slowly angling your hips up to roll against him.
"hm?" he hums through a low grunt.
your movements halt, head dipping to rest on his forehead. you're taking this in, you need to take a moment, feelings overwhelming you.
"how did this even happen?" you breath against him, eyes closing.
chan pulls your face back, hands cradling your cheeks. when open your eyes to look at him, he just shakes his head, as if shushing you and your overwhelming thoughts.
you nod back at him, leaning in to press a slow kiss against his forehead. the smile he gives you says it all, his hands finding their way back to your hips,
the rest of the night is a blur, your hands everywhere, mouths on any piece of skin either of you could find. it's not fast, it's gentle and loving, things you never expected from chan himself. it was beautiful.

it's nearly morning, the both of you are a sweaty and complete mess. your make up is completely gone and you're not sure how you even look right now. that doesn't matter, not with chan's head resting on your chest just looking up at you, seemingly treasuring you as if you'd break from a blink.
it's not until chan speaks up, you're reminded why you argued in the first place.
"you look funny when you cum."
"shut up!"
still cat and mouse, always.
-
a/n: thank you for being patient for this! i tried to do slow burn but it's not my strong suit :S hopefully it's ok!!!

“Where are we going?”
You hardly felt the ocean breeze from the crook of your new husband’s arm. You stretched your legs out over his forearm, fluffing the fabric of your wedding dress. Then you snuggled in against his chest, that giant fur scarf like the softest pillow you’d ever felt.
“We are go–”
“What kind of animal did this fur come from? They must be huge! Do they live on your island too?”
Katakuri tilted his head down, his warm, scarlet eyes shutting up your nervous chatter.
You gave an embarrassed smile, and felt more than heard a pleased hum from him. 
“We are going home, and we’re almost there.”
He stepped off the boat, setting you back on his shoulder, so you could get a better view. 
His home, his mansion, his castle? You couldn’t be sure since it was so massive.
“It’s beautiful! But you don’t live at the Whole Cake Chateau? I mean, I know this is your island. I guess I won’t be living at the doughnut shop anymore...”
He’d turned his head, looking at you from the side, and you saw his brows furrow when a sudden panic hit you.
“Am I still allowed to work at the shop,” you asked, your voice a bit high. You realized that you’d been digging your nails into his shoulder on either side of your hips. 
He offered his hand, and you reached out, letting him hold you in his palm. 
“You may do anything that makes you happy, Y/N,” Katakuri promised with that lovely voice of his, holding you at eye level. 
Releasing a deep breath along with your panic, you smiled at him. 
“Take me home, please.”
~
There were a few servants outside, but you didn’t notice any as he carried you through the echoing halls. 
“I have had a room prepared for you. Please let me know if there’s anything else you require.”
He set you gently down, leaving you to crane your neck.
“But… you’re not leaving, are you?”
Katakuri cleared his throat, going to one knee to close the distance a bit.
His gorgeous eyes poured over you, and you held your breath as he began to unravel his scarf. 
That wide, scarred mouth, and almost tusk like fangs had definitely been surprising. 
But he was still so pretty.
“Please don’t leave me here alone.”
His eyes seemed to soften, and you relaxed into his touch as he traced over your hair, then smoothed his hand over your back. 
“You want to stay with me?”
“I do, Katakuri,” you promised, touching his wrist to help him believe you.
He seems so sad.
His tells were subtle, that calm exterior so powerful.
But when he revealed himself to you, it was like he couldn’t quite hold up that wall. 
His eyes shifted away, and he nodded slowly. 
“It’s time for my merienda.”
“Your–”
“Y/N, I did not want you to be forced into this.”
You started to soothe his guilt. You’d already chosen him, but your words got caught in your throat as you watched him pull those white gloves off of his fingers. 
His hands were so big, but they were also strong, and you could see blood pulsing through his veins. 
“You are my wife now,” he sighed, breaking you out of your reverie. “If you truly want a real relationship with me, then I will have to trust you with…”
His lips were parted as he stared down at you. 
“If? Well… I’d like a real relationship if… if you’d like to be with me?”
Your breath hitched, anxiety racing as he closed his eyes, hanging his head.
“Oh,” you said, voice awkwardly high again. “It’s okay if you–”
“I’ll just show you.”
You yelped, jumping as the massive room around you was filled with a rolling, slightly sweet smelling substance. It rippled as it stretched to encompass the whole room, leaving you encased inside with your husband, and a very large table. 
“What’s happening?”
Katakuri pulled a large tray off the table, and sat cross legged in front of you. 
He set it down, and you frowned. 
“It’s my doughnuts?”
You decided to sit down as well, the squishy surface beneath you not helping with your dazed mind. 
“Please, Y/N,” he started, leaning down toward you, his voice soft. “What I’m about to share with you is something I trust no one with. I promise to be kind, and I promise to protect you. Whatever you need to be happy.”
Noticing that you had your hand on your chest, you took in a breath, the suspense making you almost jittery. 
“This secret is the most important thing in my life. It protects my family.”
You wanted to touch him, to comfort him with whatever this struggle was. But you waited.
“I know you already promised yourself to me, Y/N,” he said as quietly as his voice seemed able to go. “But if we are to truly be together, I need you to make another promise.”
He watched you nod, his scarlet eyes staring for so long, as if he could read your reaction before opening himself up. 
“When I was a child, my sister was hurt because of me.”
You leaned forward without realizing it, and tried to keep yourself still to fully hear him.
“I was attacked for the way that I look, but I was stronger. While I was relishing my victory, while I was relaxing, they hurt Brulee instead.”
You remembered his sister’s scar, ripping across her face, and your heart hurt for them both. 
“Since that day, I vowed to never drop my guard. I covered the face that had gotten my sister hurt. I became that best brother I could be, so that I could protect my family.”
You pushed yourself up from that squishy surface, making your way to him. His fingers were digging into his knee, so you reached out.
You were about a head taller than his knee while he was standing, and you gave a small smile at how close he was now as he sat like this. 
“That sounds very lonely,” you said softly, laying your hands on his strained fingers.
“It’s my duty,” he countered after a pause.
“Is that why,” you asked, leaving a soft kiss on his knuckles, “you never lie on your back?”
His fingers had relaxed as you touched his warm skin. The strange glow of the light filtering through this soft cocoon he’d trapped you in made his face seem softer, and you kissed his hand again.
“This is my secret, Y/N. I am trusting you to never betray it. To let me keep up this image of the perfect brother, so that I can protect my family.”
The hand you weren’t touching lifted, stroking your hair gently as a small smile touched that wide mouth of his.
“You’re my family now too.”
Shivers ran down your body. You hadn’t had family in so long. 
“I promise, Katakuri. I will protect your secret.”
He released a breath, clenching his eyes shut for a moment, and you wondered what this heavy secret could be. 
“Will you take a few steps back?”
You obeyed his request, your shoes pressing into that strange material.
He turned so his side was facing you, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. Then he let his back touch this soft ground, lying down as you grinned, and ran toward him. 
“Is this it,” you almost laughed, touching his shoulder so he would tilt his head to see your smile. 
“You’re not… disappointed?”
“Why would I be disappointed? Now I know that my husband can relax, and that we can lay down together. That’s wonderful,” you rushed out, your excitement and nerves returning as you squeezed his shoulder.
“There’s something el–”
“Katakuri, why don’t you just tell me all of it now. I promise I won’t be disappointed, or think less of you, or anything like that.”
“Alright,” he agreed, rolling onto his side to prop his head up on an elbow, his gaze so close.
“I made this room with my devil fruit power, the Mochi-Mochi Fruit.”
You almost bombarded him with questions about that, but chewed the inside of your lip.
“I use it to create a private space. This is where I come to relax. Not to meditate and prepare for battle,” he huffed, tapping his free hand against his thigh. “This is the only time and place that I get to be free to enjoy myself, without the weight of… everything.”
“What do you do to relax?”
“I lie on my back.”
You shocked yourself by giving him a playful slap against the expanse of his muscled chest, needing to pause for a moment before speaking.
“That can’t be the only joy in your life. I refuse to believe it.”
Did he blush?
Katakuri pulled the huge tray with tea and boxes of your doughnuts between you, opening the lid to grab five of them at once.
I should make bigger ones for him.
“I’ve loved doughnuts since I was small. I love your doughnuts very much,” he praised, his deep voice making your toes curl in your shoes. 
“When I take my merienda’s, I… I’ll just show you.”
Your gorgeous, frightening husband rolled onto his back, ate your doughnuts, licked his fingers, and sang.
You may have been stunned by the way his jaw stretched so wide while he ate, but then his sweet, silly voice filled the air, and you couldn’t believe you’d ever seen him as frightening. 
🎶Oh, doughnuts!
So delicious, doughnuts!
Delicious to the hole, doughnuts!
By myself, I eat doughnuts!
Lying on my back, I eat doughnuts!🎶
He trailed off as he glanced toward you, moving to sit cross legged as he wiped his fingers on his white, wedding clothes.
“I’m so sorry, Y/N. Are you scared? Are you alright?”
Hot tears were burning your cheeks, falling too fast for you to catch as they dripped off your chin onto the mochi below. You tried to nod, but quiet sobs had filled your chest, and you couldn’t seem to move.
“I–I am sorry. Please, what can I–”
“My…” you choked out, your lips quivering as you clutched your chest.
“My dad… My dad used to sing like that.”
You looked up, hoping he’d understand what you were feeling since you couldn’t form any more words.
His eyes lost their near panic and pain, and you sobbed more as you watched them fill with so much sweetness. It fueled the overwhelming, bittersweet joy that had taken you over.
Memories flooded your mind, so real you could feel them. Your dad kneading dough, showing you how to glaze, smiling as his customers sighed with contentment after eating his doughnuts. 
And his silly little songs that he would sing and hum all day. His gentle soul shined through everything he did.
Without him, it was as if the sun had gone from the sky. He was the warmth that kept you safe, that taught you how to live, how to love. You tried to live the way he’d taught you, to be kind, to be grateful for everything you had. But the lack of his sweet, silly songs made joy harder to find.
“Y/N,” he breathed, reaching his hand slowly toward you, as if not sure what to do with it. 
“Thank you,” you choked out, your knees going weak.
He caught you under your arms before you fell, and you clung to his hand as your sobs started to calm.
“Is there something I can do,” he asked, speaking quietly while your breathing evened out.
“I’m sorry, Katakuri, it’s just– You've just…”
A smile broke out across your tear stained face.
“You’ve just made me very happy.”
Stumbling toward him, you fell over his knee to hug his thigh.
He let out a soft grunt, then lifted you easily to his chest. 
His thumb rubbed gently over your back as he pressed you to him, your head resting in the crook of his neck.
He smells so good.
“So you really…” he started, his words vibrating though you. “You really like my singing?”
“I love it,” you laughed, pressing a warm kiss to his neck. 
Katakuri’s body seemed to vibrate, and you could feel the chills run over him. The intensity of his reaction sent chills running through you, and you became intensely aware of how much of his skin you were touching.
“Is it alright if I look at you?”
“Mmhm,” you nodded against him, brushing the remains of tears from your face.
I must look a mess.
You sat in his hand again, a rush of feelings warming you. Your feet dangled, kicking softly back and forth as he looked at you, an almost puzzled look on his face.
“So was that the big secret,” you teased, hoping there wasn’t more. “Because I’m ready to see our bedroom now.”
Your sweet husband let out a pleased laugh, sending all that mochi away as he held you against his chest. 
“Anything to make you happy, Y/N.”

Is it you, or your lover?
An arrangement of questions focusing on your relationship, asking which one of you has the particular habit.
Characters: Atsushi Nakajima, Doppo Kunikida, Jun‘ichiro Tanizaki, Osamu Dazai, Ranpo Edogawa, Yukichi Fukuzawa
No pronouns, gendered terms or description of body used for reader.
Bungou Stray Dogs_Masterlist
Atsushi Nakajima
Who is the cuddliest? -> You are. Atsushi is not used to physical affection, and is hesitant to initiate it. When ARE you supposed to initiate? How do you know the other person is fine with it? It‘s a mystery to him. You bet he will get flustered when you snuggle up to him, soon melting into your touch. He loves it, so please don‘t stop.
Who makes the bed? -> He does. After living on the street for weeks, he really appreciates everything he has. From the roof over his head, to the clean socks on his feet. So naturally he takes good care of them, which includes making the bed every morning.
Who wakes up first? -> He does. Even if you‘re an early riser or need to be somewhere early in the morning, Atsushi tends to be awake before you. You often wake up to the smell of food, and the sight of your boyfriend in an apron, wishing you a good morning with a tired, yet sweet, smile.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> He does. Atsushi doesn‘t typically listen to music much, but when he does he picks some random songs he discovered through the radio. It‘s a mix of the newest hits and the oldest songs known to man, simply because those are the only ones he knows.
Who is more protective? -> You are. Atsushi is more confused or concerned than protective, unless it‘s obvious danger. In the heat of battle, he makes sure there is not a scratch on you. Otherwise, he is very chill. It is you who steps up more and sends a glare to people, or objects for that matter, that might harm or inconvenience him.
Who sings more in the shower? -> You do. His showers are as quiet as can be. It‘s his time to wash away the tension in his muscles that had built up over the day. His showers take up to 10 minutes at most, too. Atsushi loves listening to your little shower concerts, though. Every sign of you enjoying yourself is a reason for him to smile.
Who cries more during movies? -> He does. Atsushi gets emotionally invested in characters quickly. Wether it‘s sad, happy, or scary, he feels with the characters. Especially to those mistreated by others, or those who remind him of the people close to him.
Who spends the most while out shopping? -> You do. Money is very valuable in this economy. Thus, Atsushi doesn‘t spend much on things that aren‘t the essentials. He spends the least money on clothes, and the most money on food. When he accompanies you when you go shopping, he might tear up at the bill. It‘s you paying, but it still hurts to see. So long as you budget well, he is not concerned in the end.
Who kisses more roughly? -> You do. He‘s never been in a relationship before and had yet to experience his first kiss before you two got together. You lead the kisses, and he is happy to follow, mirroring your movements to the best of his ability, careful not to hurt you.
»»----------►
Doppo Kunikida
Who is the cuddliest? -> You are. Doppo isn‘t big on physical affection. While he appreciates recieving it, he himself prefers showing his love through acts of service. He tends to leave a few minutes of room in his schedule, in case you feel like cuddling.
Who makes the bed? -> He does. Doppo is a very organized and clean man. Making the bed is a part of his daily routine, and he will NOT skip it. He does expect you to help though. You slept in that bed too, so it is only right for you to take care of your side.
Who wakes up first? -> He does. He is an early-riser through and through. By the time you wake up, he most likely already got himself ready. You better get up early if you want to see his hair loose and disheveled. Doppo would gladly wake you up when he does if you ask him to, so long as you don‘t tell him the real reason.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> He does. Weird based on modern standards, that is. Despite being only 22 years old, Doppo appreciates the old classics. Some of which you don‘t even recognize. Sometimes you catch him listen to unidentifiable sounds…The amount of times Osamu has tricked him into listening to “this amazing, economy critical song“ is hilarious. Doppo doesn‘t seem to learn.
Who is more protective? -> He is. Doppo keeps an eye on you whenever he can. Keeping you safe is one of his jobs as your lover. And that counts twice with the kinds of people he has to keep up with on a daily basis. Everyday he does his best to protect you from their influence.
Who sings more in the shower? -> You do. As much as it saddens me to say this, but he doesn‘t sing. Much less in the shower. He only does the stuff he got into the shower for, gets out and is done with it. You can sing if you want, but don‘t let it distract you.
Who cries more during movies? -> You do. It takes a lot for him to cry over fiction, it would have to hit very close to heart for him to tear up. He‘s not one to judge others for crying at a movie, though.
Who spends the most while out shopping? -> You do. Doppo is an experienced coupon-guy. He always makes sure he finds the stuff he needs at the lowest price without the quality being effected. And he also only buys the items on his list, nothing else. There is a strict budget he set, and he will not go over it even slightly.
Who kisses more roughly? -> He does. Sometimes Doppo doesn‘t even notice it when you two kiss. The feeling of your lips numbs that certain part of his brain, and causes him to act more according to his feelings and desires, and less logically and calculated. That can result in him getting a little rough with his kisses. It‘s not a bad thing, though. His kisses are amazing.
»»----------►
Jun’ichiro Tanizaki
Who is the cuddliest? -> You are. Jun’ichiro is very low-key when showing his affection, and prefers to do it with words of affirmations or small, thoughtful gestures. He's more used to being clung to than the other way around.
Who makes the bed? -> He does. The last one to leave the bed makes the bed. You two use that as motivation to get up, and he ends up doing it the most. He is very groggy and grumpy in the morning. As responsible as he is, the first half hour of being awake is filled with grumbling and "I don’t wanna"s.
Who wakes up first? -> You do. Wether you actually have to get up early or not, his alarm for work wakes you. And more effectively than it does Jun'ichiro. So even if it’s not by a lot, you are the first with your eyes open.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> You do. Jun’ichiro has real good music taste by modern standards. He already made you a ton of playlists for different occasions and moods. You rarely don’t listen to one of those playlists anymore.
Who is more protective? -> He is. You and Naomi are his entire world. The smallest insult towards you has his eyebrow twitching. He's going berserk if you’re being harassed or threatened in any way. And you know he'll keep you safe. Always.
Who sings more in the shower? -> He does. And it’s really cute. It’s more a mumbling and humming, you wouldn’t be able to understand a word even if you listened closely. He just likes to fill the void with a little melody.
Who cries more during movies? -> You do. Jun’ichiro isn’t emotional enough to cry over fiction easily. He's more focused on the story and the world- and character building, anyway. Sometimes it needs a little heartbreak to tell a good story. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a little sad, because he is.
Who spends the most while out shopping? -> He does. Jun’ichiro himself doesn’t need much material possessions to be happy, but he sure loves spoiling you. Be it little trinkets, something that made him think of you, snacks he knows you like,… Imagining your face lighting up with joy is motivation enough to get any of those for you. It can be any and every day too, getting you a little gift doesn’t have to be connected to a special day.
Who kisses more roughly? -> You do. He is the opposite of rough. Sometimes he even asks you to calm down a little. Poor guy is overwhelmed and needs a breather. If you give him a little time to prepare, he will gladly indulge your wilder side.
»»----------►
Osamu Dazai
Who is the cuddliest? -> He is. Osamu has been deprived for so long, he says he has the right to sprawl over you whenever he wants. While it seems like his usual shenanigans, in actuality he wants to savor every touch, feel your warmth as often and as long as he possibly can. You are the holder of his heart, he loves you. A day without having his arms around you for even just a second is a tragic one indeed.
Who makes the bed? -> You do. He doesn‘t see the point of making the bed. Your shared bedroom isn‘t some kind of hotel that must look tidy for the next people. It is your space, and he personally doesn‘t mind it looking a little messy. The two of you push and pull the pillows and blanket to your liking in the evening anyway.
Who wakes up first? -> He does. Osamu typically doesn‘t sleep much. Lounge around and take a nap or two, yes, but he does that at the office. Gazing at your sleeping face in the morning is his caffeine for the day, and he can‘t get that when you‘re first to wake up, right? Also, waking you up comes with a bunch of fun possibilities. Most of which are only fun for him, not you.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> He does. Most people would think it‘s weird, anyway. His favorites are about the feeling of depression, being overwhelmed, burnt out, mourning. Sometimes it‘s nice to have your feelings put into words for you. Among those are a few fun ones sprinkled in. Some old classics too. If you scroll through his playlist, you might see something like this: Numb Little Bug(Em Beihold), Body(MotherMother), CPR x Misery(Remix), Memories(Maroon 5)-
Who is more protective? -> He is. Wether it‘s a real danger or something minor, like a bypass insult, he‘s got you. Just don‘t worry, he‘s going to take care of this. You will never see him angry during those situations. The last thing he wants is for you to worry, so he masks any worry with his usual goofy and sassy behavior. That is a rare accurance either way, Osamu makes sure you don‘t even get in that type of situation in the first place.
Who sings more in the shower? -> He does. Shower time is a time to relax, and a time to relax is a time to sing. Simple as that. He sings loud enough to hear himself properly over the rushing water, which is decently loud. You can hear this first-class concert from nearly everwhere within your home.
Who cries more during movies? -> You do. Osamu has seen things far worse than whatever is playing on the TV. So unless it‘s something that triggers real heart shattering memories, he is not going to cry. And even then, it‘s a single tear. You won‘t be able to notice. When it‘s you tearing up, he is quick to pull you against him and stroke your head. He shushes you gently as he comforts you like someone would a baby. It is all for fun, of course. And he wouldn‘t feel hurt if you started hitting him for being an ass. In fact, he‘d chuckle.
Who spends the most while out shopping? -> You do. Osamu is not above letting you spend your money on things he was supposed to pay for. Oops- It seems like he lost his wallet while drifting across the river, again. He does have some errands to run though! You wouldn‘t mind paying, right? He promises to repay you one way or another!
Who kisses more roughly? -> He does. The roughness comes with the playfulness he loves to kiss you with. Doesn‘t mean he doesn‘t love the way you seem to shiver when he gets a little more rough with his kissing. Because, oh boy, does he love it. Besides being playful, he also likes being flirty and pull all those cute reactions out of you. If you try to do the same to him, then the fight is on. He might let you win, but only because he loves you so much.
»»----------►
Ranpo Edogawa
Who is the cuddliest? -> He is. Ranpo is a clingy little gremlin. Munching on snacks while cuddled up to you in your lap is his favorite way to pass the time, for sure. You‘re so warm and soft and have just the right size for him. It‘s wise to plan ahead, since he will not let you go any time soon. Ranpo would get real whiny and pouty if you even try. Don‘t worry though! He‘s going to share his snacks with you if you ask nicely.
Who makes the bed? -> You do. He couldn‘t care less if the bed is made or not. You‘re very happy it‘s free of crumbs and wrappers at least.
Who wakes up first? -> You do. Cuddling makes him all drowsy, and of course cuddling you is what he does when sleeping with you. From when you fall asleep to when you wake up, he has his arms wrapped around your torso and his head either on your chest or in the crook of your neck. It would take a lot of willpower to get himself to leave the comfort you provide him so early in the day. Luckily, he isn‘t heavy, so it’s fairly easy for you to get out of bed once you manage to sit up.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> He does. Ranpo listens to everything that gives him a happy feel. From Baby Shark to Starship, so long as it‘s got a good vibe, it‘s in his playlist.
Who is more protective? -> You are. He simply knows too much, there is no need to be protective. He is really chill. It‘s you who tends to act like a bodyguard, you have to, because Ranpo keeps getting into risky situations. He himself deducts he‘s safe, but you don‘t know that. He sure isn‘t safe from your fist after every risky endeavor you save him from.
Who sings more in the shower? -> You do. Bold of you to assume he showers. It‘s baths all the way. With bubbles and rubber ducks. Ranpo begs you to either join him or at least talk to him through the open bathroom door, otherwise he gets bored before he even washes himself. He is also the type to make fun of those who sing under the shower, so watch out.
Who cries more during movies? -> You do. Ranpo has figured out the plot in mere minutes, nothing can surprise him and nothing can shake him up enough to make him cry. And while he isn‘t mean about people crying at fiction, he doesn‘t really understand it either. You do realize this isn‘t real, right? Of course you do, but still! Watching movies with him is a real mood-killer. I suggest Comedies.
Who spends more while out shopping? -> He does. The amount of snacks he consumes daily ought to bring a heavy bill. Sometimes you wonder how he can even afford it. It really is a good thing he is so good at his job, and thus have a steady income to support his little addiction.
Who kisses more roughly? -> You do. Ranpo is nothing but soft with you. Even when he gets playful, his kisses stay soft, smooching you all over your face until he gets his fill. When you go more rough on him, he turns into a puddle, face bright red from the feeling. Nothing beats the taste of your lips, and it shows.

Yukichi Fukuzawa
Who is the cuddliest? -> You are. Physical affection is not his choice of love language. So long as you are within the comfort of your home, he doesn‘t have any problems, even if you get real clingy. Yukichi thinks you‘re really cute like this, but he doesn‘t want others to see.
Who makes the bed? -> He does. You two have found a good way to split daily tasks equally. While you make breakfast, he makes the bed. There is no complaining. And if you‘d like to switch it up, he‘ll gladly do so. It doesn‘t matter to him, if you aren‘t good at making a bed. Yukichi just hopes the food he makes is to your liking.
Who wakes up first? -> He does. Yukichi wakes up real early to get some morning practice in, as he doesn‘t have the time to do so at any other point of the day. He is way too busy with paperwork for that. Every morning he makes sure not to wake you while he gets out of bed and out to your backyard. After he‘s done and took a quick shower, he comes back and gently wakes you.
Who has the weirdest taste in music? -> He does. He is into traditional music, which might be considered weird by most. His knowledge of more modern music is very limited, as he doesn‘t normally consider looking them up. You are free to introduce him to your favorites, though. Music can be a way to express someones thoughts and feelings, thus it can tell a lot about you. And what kind of lover would he be to disregard you expressing something as valuable as that?
Who is more protective? -> He is. Yukichi wants you to be safe, always. He‘s taught you many ways to protect yourself when he‘s not there to do it for you. And when you two are together, you can consider him as your scary dog privilege. Because even though he doesn‘t look scary at a glance, he is very tall and muscular, and can send a nasty death glare if he wanted to. There is no way someone would dare to try anything while he is around. And if there was, he is quick to pull you behind him and deal with the situation swiftly. The sooner this is over, the sooner you are safe.
Who sings more in the shower? -> You do. You will never catch this man sing. Not ever. He‘s simply too embarrassed to do so. Humming is another story, but that is reserved for quiet times on your porch while looking at the stars. Yukichi likes listening to you sing under the shower, it‘s very sweet to him, how you are comfortable to risk him hear the echo of your voice.
Who cries more during movies? -> You do. Yukichi does get emotionally invested in characters, he simply doesn‘t cry. It takes a lot to get him there. When he notices you tearing up, he places a hand on your knee and draws little patterns on it.
Who spends more while out shopping? -> He does. Yukichi has everything he could ever want, so besides essentials, he rarely buys anything that peeks his interest. The occasional gift doesn‘t leave a huge dent on his wallet, but the moment he is set on spoiling you during a shopping trip, he will not hesitate. He could wait for hours on end for you to pick up and try on clothes, fill the shopping cart with snacks, toys, crafting materials,…anything you like. He knows it‘s not a waste of money when it‘s spent on you.
Who kisses more roughly? -> You do. Yukichi prefers going for your preferences when kissing, so he let‘s you take the lead unless you ask for him to do it. His touch is so soft, you‘d think he‘s scared to break you if he isn‘t careful. You‘re his little angel, and he will make sure you feel it.

Furina
A show or a song, as long as it's something joyful, she'll extend the invitation to you.
And mayhaps, she'll give you a private scene or song.
And if none of that is your fancy, then she'll make you a plate of macaroni for the two of you to share.
Lyney
Magic! Magic always cheers people up, right?
Until it doesn't, and he's gone back then and the best he can give you is himself.
Navia
As an honorary member of the Spina di Rolusa, you are not allowed to stew in your sadness. At least not on Navia's watch.
She'll not only take you out, but whip something up herself.
Take you out on a shopping spree. Enjoy the scenery that is Fontaine.
Whatever it is you want to do, she won't let you do it alone.
Neuvillete
As long as it is in his power, he will give it to you.
It truly is as simple as that.
Wriothesley
The best this man has is an ear to listen, advice and tea.
Oh, and some time in the ring, sometimes being able to punch something in a safe space helps more than you'd realize.
Tumblr media
I can't keep the angst away from Lyney and I haven't even officially written for him yet.

Hiya, could you do a Aziraphale x Demon!Reader x Crowley (if that's alright with you) where it's the end of season 2 and the reader is arguing with Aziraphale because he's leaving and Crowley is just standing behind them still trying to comprehend what's happening, but because the reader is a demon they have never cried not once in their life so they start breaking down (ugly crying) and it pisses of Crowley seeing reader cry like that, hope this request is alright can change it it you want to x
A/n- Oh my goodness love this request I am a sucker for angst
AO3, Etsy Shop, Youtube,
TW- Major sadness
Reader's Pronouns- They/Them
Word Count- 978
Nothing Lasts Forever
Crowley x Reader x Aziraphale
Tumblr media
Y/n anxiously plays with their hands waiting for Aziraphale to return, "Do you think he's safe with Metatron?"
"I am sure he will be fine. As much as we love to save our dear angel and mock him mercilessly, he's been protecting himself for eons," Crowley replies confidently.
Despite Crowley's confident words his face does not appear to match. He places Y/n's hands in his own and does not speak a word about it.
After sitting in silence for a long time, just the two of them ruminating on their own thoughts, a bell rings. Y/n stands up speedily and Crowley is quick to follow. Y/n moves closer to Aziraphale to check if any harm has been done but he has the widest grin on his face so the pair doubt he is injured.
"What did he want," Y/n asks fearing the answer.
"With Micheal being gone... there is a space. He wants me to be an archangel," Aziraphale beams with shock and joy.
Y/n is frozen in shock and Crowley steps closer, "He said what?"
"He said I could appoint you both to be angels! Come back to heaven and-and everything!" He uncharacteristically stutters due to the pure amount of joy. "Like old times probably even nicer!"
Y/n clenches their fist and gulps loudly even though they don't technically need to as a celestial being it just seemed like the situation desperately called for it.
Crowley went straight to anger, "And you told him where he can stick it? Oh, we're better than that! You're better than that, Angel! You don't need them! Y/n and I certainly don't need them! They ask Y/n and I back to Hell! We said no! I am certainly not going back to their team! Neither should you!"
"You two obviously said not to Hell, they're the bad guys," Aziraphale states surely. "Heaven is the side of truth, light, of good," he lists confused as to what Crowley is not getting.
If I could throw up I think I would. If Hell loves punishment so much you think they would make vomiting a must because it looks really painful when humans do it. Again maybe they wouldn't do that because vomiting is a way of cleansing your stomach and they are very against that.
"When Heaven ends all life on earth all humanity will be just as dead as if Hell did it," Crowley states. "Tell me you said no," Crowley says each word as if it were the end of a sentence.
Aziraphale does not respond and I am finally able to push words out of my mouth, "You did say no Azirapahle... right?"
"If I am in charge I can make a difference," he looks into Y/n's eyes with pity.
Y/n eyes have an unfamiliar feeling, they feel wet and sting.
Crowley starts to pace, "Oh god, oh, I didn't get a chance to say what I was going to say. I better say it now. Right okay. We are a team a group of us, we have known each other a long time, we all rely on each other. I would like us to- I mean if Gabriel and Beelzebub can do it. Go off with each other, then we three can! Just the three of us! We don't need Heaven we don't need Hell. They are toxic! We need be away from them and just be us," he looks between the two of us.
The unfamiliar feeling in y/n's eyes spreads leaving a trail of wetness down their cheek. The wetness keeps spreading they can feel several different lines of water down my face.
Aziraphale runs up to Crowley, "Come with me to Heaven I'll run it the best and you will be my second in command! We can make a difference!"
Y/n bites her lip harshly, " What about the bookshop? What about humanity? The new food inventions you will miss out on? What about our life here!"
The two look at Y/n oddly and the new feeling in them makes them clench their eyes tight and gasp. Y/n wipes their hand across their face and looks down at the wetness in their hands. The wetness won't stop streaming down my face. This isn't right. I shouldn't be able to cry. I shouldn't feel this deeply. Nevertheless, I can't stop the water in my eyes and can't stop gasping for air that I don't even need.
Aziraphale looks at me in a way he never has before. It's the gaze humans give their offspring when they first realize the world is unfair and unjust.
"Oh Y/n, nothing lasts forever," Aziraphale says regretfully.
Y/n puts their palm to their chest and gasps, "Oh."
Crowley looks at Aziraphale with disgust, "That's how it is... good luck then."
Y/n looks up at Crowley vision blurry with newfound tears and Crowley looks back mournfully. Crowley throws his arm around Y/n's shoulder and starts to escort them out the door.
"Good luck?' Aziraphale gasps. "I don't think you know what I am offering the two of you!"
"I think the two of us know better than you do," Crowley snaps back.
Aziarphale tries to negotiate with Y/n, "Y/n, please you are supposed to be the reasonable one out of the two of you! You are no demon you are crying!"
Crowley's jaw tightens and Y/n clenches their fists harder than they have in their entire long life.
Y/n can barely gasp out, "You hear that?"
Aziraphale shakes his head rapidly, "I hear nothing!"
"Exactly, no nightingales," Y/n gasps again.
"You idiot! We could have been something! Just the three us," Crowley shouts as he leads Y/n out the door leaving a stunned and a little bit broken Aziraphale.

JOSH HUTCHERSON. I do badly wanna make a request for Josh from the forger but I must show restraint
Anyways Mike asking you to officially be his gf?
JOSH HUTCHERSON JOSH HUTCHERSON AOQWEIIOWEIOOIAWEFIOFWAEWGAGEHRGAHREW
my husband
anyways here u go pooksters
warnings: female pronouns, fluff, reader has a nightmare, smooching just a lil
I didn’t check spelling on this so if it’s horrible I’m so sorry 😭
--
mikes job was not an easy one.
neither was managing a younger sister.
but thats where you came in.
you and mike had known one another since high school, though you two hadn’t been the closest pair at the time. gentle smiles in the halls and small hellos were about all that went on in your mind.
but not for sweet old mike.
he adored you, every second he got to be in your presence was like heaven.
looking back on it he wasn't sure how you hadn't noticed his longing stares, the blush coating his cheeks, the way he fumbled over his words.
he was in love with you, that was clear to everyone but you.
so when the end of high school rolled around, the two of you fell out of touch.
he was sad, yes, but he had abby to worry about, and some cute girl couldn't get in his way.
so for the next few years nothing happened between the two of you, and he just assumed you had moved away to some far away place. eventually the amount thoughts of you in his mind began to dwindle down, until you only crossed his mind at most 2 times a year.
that was until a few months ago that is...
long story short mike had posted a few flyers about needing a baby sitter for abby, and low and behold someone sent him a message and sweetly said they'd love to meet up with him over coffee to discuss more details.
so thats exactly what happened, mike put on his most formal clothes (which wasnt really much) and began his journey to the coffee shop. He anxiously wiped his sweaty palms on his pants, silently cursing himself for his nervous habits. before he knew it the coffee shop was just ahead, and as he stepped inside it was like his heart stopped beating.
it was you.
He tried to hide his smile but you could read that man like an open book.
The two of you talked for several hours, about the job, about life, about everything.
you could've kept going even, if it werent for mike having to pick up abby from school.
so you bid your farewells and mike informed you that you could start watching abby the following day.
as mike worked each night, you stayed with abby, doing everything with her, and she loved it.
every day she would gush to mike about you, talking about the adventures and fun times the two of you had shared.
mike listened every time as well, and every time he did so he couldnt help but note how his feelings for you began to return.
after all, you were so sweet, so gentle, so... loving.
how could he help it?
every morning after his shift he would come home to find leftovers on the counter, alongside a small handwritten note from you, each time saying something ever so sweet.
on top of that he would also find you dozing on the couch, and every time he saw you sleeping so peacefully he would just admire you for a few moments, always opting to cover you with his jacket or a blanket before he sent himself off to bed as well.
so that brings us to tonight.
mike walks through the door with a yawn, rubbing his eyes sleepily as he places his vest on the coat rack, dragging himself into the kitchen as he picks up your sweet note.
"abby insisted on pizza and spaghetti tonight so take your pick sugar, i hope work was well, i hope you dont mind but i forgot a change of clothes tonight and abby grabbed a pair of your boxers and an old sweatshirt of yours, i just threw it on for tonight, i promise ill get it back to you clean asap! lots of love, - y/n" the note read.
mike cant help but chuckle at your rambling, and he picks up the plate full of pizza and he reaches out to open the microwave but stops in his tracks when he hears something.
something so faint he wasnt even sure he had really heard it.
then it happened again, louder now and mikes blood ran cold.
it was you, your cries.
mike rushes into the living room, and his body visibly relaxes when he finds you still deep in slumber on the couch.
a small frown falls on his face when he notices you squirming, a distressed look across your sleeping features as a few frantic words escape your mouth in slumber.
"no! mike- mike please- dont- i need you mike please" you murmured, so softly that mike was sure he was hallucinating.
still he approached your sleeping figure, his rough hands gently making their way to your shoulders.
“hey hey hey” he whispered as he gently shook you, concern in his eyes.
yet you didn’t budge, body trembling beneath him as small whines escape you, even some small tears slipping past your closed eyes.
he shook you harder now, and he lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding when you shoot upright, but his relief quickly fades as a quiet sob escapes your lips.
your teary e/c eyes scan over him, almost checking to see if it’s really him.
once your brain finally decides to accept the fact that he’s really in front of you, you fling yourself towards him, more sobs escaping your lips “oh mikey” you cry out.
mike immediately wraps his arms around your torso, one hand moving up to comb through your hair.
“woah woah woah I’m right here pretty girl, I’m here, I’m here” he coos into your ear, holding your trembling frame.
the two of you stayed like that until your sobs turned into small sniffles, your head resting on his shoulder as you took in his scent.
“m’sorry…” you mumble into the crook of his neck
“it’s ok don’t apologise silly, do you wanna talk about it?” he quietly asks you, and you nod.
“I- you died mikey… in my dream… you- you were gone! I- I was so scared… I can’t lose you” you say between hiccups, and he hopes you can’t tell how your words make his heart race.
“im not leaving anytime soon pretty girl, can i tell you a secret y/n?” he asks as he brushes a hair behind your ear.
he chuckles when you nod and cuddle further into him, his face flushing ever so slightly, not that you could notice in the dim light of the room anyways.
“ive been in love with you since freshman year” he murmurs, and with those words your body grows stiff and you sight upright.
“y-you have?” your shaky voice asks
he nods, his orbs locking onto your own, and he goes to speak, his nerves getting the best of him, but before he can you cut him off.
with a kiss.
you had kissed mike.
mike just kissed the love of his life.
the kiss was sweet, gentle, and it seemingly lasted forever.
the two of you eventually pulled away for air, chests heaving as you both gasp gently for air.
you both go to speak at the same time
“I love you so much-“
“I’m so in love with you”
you both gasp at the others words, and you can’t help but giggle.
“so does this mean..?” you question, as you absentmindedly cuddle closer into him
“mean what? that you’re my girlfriend?” he asks gently
“if you want me to be” you say with a smile, awaiting his next words
“well how can I say no to a smile like that?”
this is prob really bad I haven’t written in forever but I’m lowkey kinda proud of it for rn, I hope you enjoy!

So I'm going to preface this by saying: I am cis as all hell. I'm not any form of trans or nonbinary, I have never been any form of trans or nonbinary, and thus I tend to stay pretty quiet on that front over here. Ain't my place to tell people who know better what to do, and I'm not trying to do that here. However, after having made a lot of friends under the trans umbrella, after being lucky enough to have some of those friends share with me some of their struggles, their joys, their lives, and after noticing a couple of patterns in their journeys... I think there is one message I would like to share that may help some of you to hear, if you'll give me a minute of your time, and I think it may have to come specifically from a cis person.
The message is this: If your cisgender friends are good friends, you being your true self is not a burden to them.
For the people in the back: If your cisgender friends are good friends. You being your true self with gender. Is not a burden to them.
I didn't know my friend in high school was trans until he transitioned socially and I heard his new name. He didn't tell me first because I was raised fundamentalist Christian and probably did not look like a safe person to tell; when I pulled him aside in class so no one else could hear us, told him he could tell me to buzz off if he was uncomfortable, and politely asked for confirmation on pronouns, I remember the surprise and joy on his face. It took me about five minutes of chanting his new name and pronouns in the shower to get it to stick in my brain. That tiny amount of effort was nothing compared to seeing him pull himself out of the depressive funk dysphoria had put him in, of celebrating senior year when he legally changed his name, of drawing him a snowflake dragon for Christmas and hiding the trans flag colors in the shimmer of the ice so it would get past our conservative school's radar. We became closer friends after he came out because I knew him better and he knew he could trust me. He got me my first ace ring. I was not only supporting him, but learning from him, and sharing in his joy.
The genderfluid roommate in college took me a little longer to adapt to, I'll be honest, I was still learning, but hey - it turns out it's not really that hard to check the pronoun pins on a lanyard before you address someone. It's pennies when that person comes along to teach you the wonders of thrift shopping and takes you to meet a drag queen for the first time. I've met so many people online whose identities I do not always intuitively understand, but who I support anyway, and who have made me consider so many new things. It's not a burden to know about my friends' journey when it comes to gender, it's a privilege to know them more deeply and be trusted in that way. It's a new dimension to this person I already love, that's all.
Look, I am not saying that all your cis friends are going to be perfect, that we're not going to fuck up occasionally because we don't know better or we had a bad day, that we understand everything - we're not, we will, and we don't. I am not saying that everyone is a safe person to talk to either - god knows that's not true, unfortunately. But. If your worry about expressing yourself is of being a nuisance, of burdening someone with your problems or needs, of being too much or too out-there or too confusing, consider this: Your friends may not only be willing to learn and help you, they may be happy to. In a true friendship, both people benefit from one person's joy. If you're happy because you're able to be your honest self, they'll be happy too. Suddenly that weird shyness and sadness they saw from you but didn't know the cause of has gone away. Heck, maybe they'll learn from you and start following in your genderfunky footsteps. Or maybe you'll just have a cis friend who texts you celebration emojis when you have a good gender day, or is there when you wake up from surgery, or goes shopping for new outfits with you, or even brings over ice cream when you're having a hard time. And then you both get ice cream. Come on. This is what friends do.
Be safe, of course. Trust your judgment when it comes to sharing information. But if you're simply scared, try to balance out the fear of what you may lose with the thought of what you may also stand to gain. Don't let the anxiety beast turn your identity into a problem. It's not a burden, it's a part of you, and the people who love you will love to meet it.

I had to tell you that I love you - Gojō Satoru x Reader
Pairing: Gojō Satoru x nonSorcerer!Reader (can be read as any gender, no pronouns used) Genre: hurt/comfort Word Count: 8 078 Warnings: so many. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 236 – set after chapter 236, death, blood, break-up, coma, canon-typical violence Summary: Satoru broke up with you the day before Christmas and returns a day later with an impossible sounding story
Masterlist
Tumblr media
He’s been acting so different, ever since he came back in November, you think to yourself, sitting opposite Satoru in an Udon shop on the day before Christmas Eve. It was uncharacteristically enough for him to just up and disappear for such long stretches of time, almost three weeks, no message, no call, nothing. He’d been gone for three days before, four, sometimes even a whole week, but never three. And when he came back, as if nothing had happened, slipping into bed beside you at night, only letting you know he was home with a feather light, lingering kiss against your nape, you didn’t think too much of it at first. This was Satoru after all. He was peculiar like that sometimes.
But over the next days, things had begun changing, the way he looked at you, touched you, was different. He had always been rather playful with you, but now if felt as if every interaction with you carried a weight. As if he was trying to memorise your face every time that he looked at you, trying to imprint the feeling of your body into his every time he hugged you. You liked it, the way he suddenly treated you as if this was something more than a mere flirt, more than a relationship he was in only to have someone to come home to at night. You had never been sure if you were more to him than that, even when words of love rolled off his lips like sticky sweet sirup.
But his sudden seriousness also worried you. Had something happened while he had been gone? Had someone close to him died? Had he seen, or heard something that had shaken him up so badly that he treated each and every interaction with you as if it were the last? Even now, with the way he was looking at you over the chopsticks he held in his hand… he studied you as if the way you were eating your noodles was the secret cypher to a riddle he tried to solve.
“What’s going on in that head of yours?”
You had asked this question a hundred times before. Satoru was hard to read sometimes, his jokes occasionally hiding a sadness you didn’t quite comprehend, a sadness he didn’t want you to comprehend. How much did you even know about his life, other than that he was from an ancient clan? Nothing. There were scars littering his body, the most prominent being a long, pale scar reaching almost all the way down from the middle of his throat to his right hip. You had asked what had happened once, sheets tangled around your bodies, your finger running along what once must have been an awfully deep wound. Foolishly you had hoped Satoru would reveal more about himself, would allow himself to be vulnerable with you, just this once, but he had laughed it off, pretending like the wound this scar had originated from had been anything but serious, and you had gotten the message loud and clear: I don’t want to talk about it so don’t ask again.
Now, ocean blue eyes looked at you from over his chopsticks, his tongue darting out from between his lips to collect the taste of broth, that was still lingering on them. He blinked at you, as if returning from his thoughts into the moment, seated on a cushion in the small Udon shop, watching you eat.
Satoru inhaled deeply, placed his chopsticks down, shortly tearing his gaze away from your face, before looking up at you again.
“Why do you ask?” Something in his voice had changed to a tone you did not like, one of annoyance. Usually, he either answered your question truthfully, something along the lines of “Thinking about whether to get chocolate or strawberry cake later.” Or he fooled around, which was your signal not to poke further. Satoru was a man of many secrets, and he kept all of them well.
You shrugged at his question, placing down your own chopsticks. “Just… I’m a bit worried about you, you know? You- you seem like something’s been bothering you for a while now.” Since he came back in November.
“Nothing serious,” he answered, running his hands through his hair, “Just a bit of trouble at work. And Megumi’s giving me a headache.”
A smile pulled at your lips. Megumi. Satoru’s adopted son. You had known Satoru had taken responsibility for a young boy, when he had still been almost a teenager himself, and you had only met the boy through coincidence, when he had turned up at your flat one day, claiming to be looking for Satoru. You had a feeling though that he had been looking less for his guardian and teacher than to find out about this new partner Satoru seemed to have mentioned, because he knew your name even without you having to introduce yourself. You had liked Megumi from the first moment on, and even though he was not very expressive, you felt like he at least tolerated you, maybe he even liked you a bit. From the little you knew about him, it did not seem like the boy to give Satoru any grief. Then again, he was a teenager, and it was normal for teenagers to get into disagreements with their guardians – and adults generally – all the time.
“What’s Megumi giving you a headache about? Is he beating up bullies again?” Yes, you had learnt about Megumi’s rebellious phase in middle school.
Satoru shook his head, his gaze drifting off again, staring into the distance. White strands of hair feel into his eyes, and following an impulse, your reached over and brushed them aside with the tips of your fingers.
“Nah, just some… identity crises, if you will,” Satoru informed you.
“You should ask him to come over for New Years. We should all celebrate together,” you suggested, and Satoru nodded thoughtfully, while you drew your hand back from his face.
“Hey,” he suddenly spoke up, his blue eyes filled with a strange, and rather unsettling intensity as he looked back to you. “Let’s break up.”
There was no humour in his voice at all as he spoke, and you knew that this was not one of his “if you don’t kiss me right now, I’ll break up with you and find someone who actually loves me”-jokes. This was serious.
“What?” You felt your entire body going weak, but Satoru was already getting up from where he had sat, his soup unfinished, his eyes no longer on your face, and adverted instead, as if in shame.
“I’m doing this for you, to keep you safe. Megumi will explain everything on New Year’s.”
Now your confusion was complete. What was he talking about, breaking up with you to keep you safe, but Megumi would still come around for New Year’s?
“Satoru!” Your voice was loud enough to draw the other patrons’ attention to you, but you did not care, as you scrambled to your feet, running after him, who had already made it to the door. “Wait! What do you mean-”
In an attempt to stop him from leaving without a proper explanation, you reached out, trying to take hold of his wrist, and instead collided with an invisible wall. Now even more confused, you stopped, looking at your hand and reaching out again, pressing your palm against the invisible barrier that kept you from reaching Satoru. He had stopped too, just two feet away from you, but he did not turn around. Instead, he spoke over his shoulder, his eyes not meeting yours as he did.
“Go back to the table and finish your meal. The soup will turn cold.”
And then he left.
-
It had been a little more than 24 hours since then. You had come home that evening, irrationally expecting to find Satoru lounging on the sofa, watching some stupid tv show, but the flat had been empty and dark. It was only after having turned on the light, that you had realized that there was nothing left of him in your life. You hadn’t noticed it until then, but over the past month, he had slowly removed any items he had brought into your shared life, the few books he had moved into your flat after getting together with you, that stupid towel with cats printed on it, clothes… in short: everything. It had never been much to begin with, so you had not noticed the little absences, but now that he was gone too, it all screamed in your face. This had been something he had planned for a whole month, maybe even longer. And he had waited until the day before Christmas Eve to break up with you, making himself the last piece to remove from your life.
Anger and pain had washed over you all at once, and the feeling of your heart tearing in two had set in with a time delay of however long it had taken you to get home after he had left you at the restaurant. It had been in the living room, just in front of the couch, where you had crumbled to the floor, clutching your chest in hopes to somehow hold together the pieces of your broken heart, to somehow keep yourself from falling apart. You had stayed there for the rest of the night, crying.
From pain, at having been left by the man who you had fallen harder for than you knew was good for yourself. From anger at him for leaving you like that. But also anger at yourself, that you had allowed your feelings to grow so deep. Because you had always known that eventually he would leave you. In the beginning you had tried to keep your emotions in check, telling yourself you were nothing but the ticket to a hot meal and a warm bed for Satoru, but emotions didn’t like following rational thought. All this pain you were in now was your own fault for not staying in control of your feelings for him.
And you had cried because you missed him, missed his annoyingly pretty face with these piercing blue eyes and snow-white strands of hair, missed those stupid sunglasses he sometimes wore, the clothes he left laying around, his half serious complaints when you ended up wearing one of his shirts or jackets after he had left them laying on a kitchen chair for three days straight. You missed the strength of his arms, that always engulfed you, when you were feeling tired or stressed, missed the softness of his lips against your skin, his playful wrangling with you, whenever you tried to pay for something you wanted to get for yourself, missed his warmth, both physically and emotionally. You missed him. And you’d miss Megumi too, even though you were not very close to him, it had started feeling a little like you were his big sister and had to look out for him. Not anymore though. Satoru had taken Megumi away from you, too.
After a night of barely sleeping, you had gotten up from the cold spot on the living room the next morning. Your eyes were burning, puffy and red from crying, but on the inside you only felt numb. Mechanically you had showered, dressed, and gone to work. Whenever a colleague asked about your plans for the night you waved them off, their stories about what they had planned with their partners dripping off of you. You knew that if you actually listened, your mind would go to all the scenarios you had imagined with Satoru for the evening, and you’d break out into tears again. Which would be highly unprofessional, so you just nodded to your colleagues’ plans without listening properly.
On your way home you had stopped by the convenience store to grab dinner. After all you had not expected having to take care of food by yourself today and instead been looking forward to going out with Satoru, leaving your fridge empty.
Habitually you stopped in front of the shelf with sushi. Satoru always turned whiny when you did not bring back sushi from the convenience store, so it always was your first stop when entering the small store.
No. It had been your first stop.
There was no Satoru to come home to anymore, you reminded yourself, feeling the weight you had ignored over the day, settle heavy in your chest. So instead of sushi you grabbed a yakisoba bun, no dessert, and had the clerk warm up your food for you, before you headed home to the cold, dark apartment.
After having eaten, you had tried to go to bed, but everything still smelled of Satoru. A wave of sadness threatened to wash over and drown you, but instead you suddenly got angry. How dare him? How did he think it was okay to just suddenly leave you like this? On the day before Christmas Eve of all days? Was he out of his mind? If he really valued you and your feelings so little, you would be better off without him anyway.
In a burst of rage, you begun tearing the sheets of your bed, throwing everything into the laundry machine. Your heart was hammering hard and angry in your chest as you marched back to the bedroom, pulling out a new set of bed sheets, and started to pull them on your mattress and blanket. It was only until you had to work more slowly to get the buttons of the sheets closed, that the anger that had powered you begun subsiding significantly. Your hands begun shaking, less with anger this time than with sobs you desperately tried to hold in. To no avail.
For the second time within a day you crumbled, sitting down, on the half-made bed this time, and buried your face in your hands. He didn’t deserve your tears, you reminded yourself. He probably had never really cared for you more than for how convenient it was to stay around. He did not deserve your love, the way your heart ached for his presence, his touch, his teasing voice, his stupid, childish, immature jokes.
But it hurt.
It hurt so much.
No matter whether Satoru deserved your tears or not, your heart felt like it had been torn to pieces, making breathing hard and catching a rational thought impossible. You didn’t care that the sheets for the blanket were not buttoned yet, or that the curtains were not drawn so that the people in the house opposite yours could’ve easily looked into your brightly illuminated bedroom. You just sat on the bed and cried, allowing yourself to feel everything all at once.
The stupid heartbreak that Satoru had caused by breaking up with you, the insecurity about what he truly felt or didn’t feel for you during your relationship. Anger at yourself, because you should have seen it coming, should have known that the last month, in which he had been so quiet, meant the end for what you had had.
Eventually you were out of tears. Your eyes were burning, your face hot, your hands tearstained and the bed still unmade. You knew you should finish with the bed and go to sleep; after all tomorrow was just another completely ordinary day, going to the office and having to listen to all the stories your co-workers would share about how amazing their Christmas Eve had been.
What would you answer if they asked about yours? You could hardly tell them that you had spent it crying your eyes out on your bed because your boyfriend had broken up with you. But then again, some of your senpais would probably immediately start making plans on how to hunt Satoru down and punish him for hurting you. The idea amused you slightly, the image of these elderly woman challenging Satoru to explain himself. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to be honest with them.
Tiredly you lifted your head and glanced at the clock. Quarter to one. It had gotten terribly late. Feeling exhausted from all the emotions and the crying, you slowly got up from your bed, when suddenly you heard a knock on your front door.
You paused.
Had you cried so loudly that one of the neighbours had decided you needed to be checked up on?
Not daring to throw a look in the mirror by the bedroom door, you quickly tucked your clothes into place, still dressed in your formal uniform from work, and made your way through the dark apartment to the door.
Unlocking it, you already prepared a few words on how to quickly get rid of your neighbours. “Sorry, I know I was pretty loud, I promise I’ll be quiet now. Actually, I was just on my way to bed.” Yeah, that should do.
Opening the door, you began talking before you had even taken a look at who was outside. “Sorry, I-“
You were interrupted by someone tall pushing past you into the flat. Someone tall and terribly familiar.
“I brought some of that chocolate crème pudding,” Satoru greeted, as he leant against the shelf in the genkan, a grin bright enough to be visible even in little slither of light that fell in from the stairwell through the slowly closing door.
The floor felt like it had given way underneath your feet, as you stared at the man who until a little over a day ago you had called your boyfriend. Until he had so casually said “Let’s break up” and strolled out of your life as if he had never been part of it. And now he stood in your genkan, holding up a bag from 7Eleven and grinned as if nothing had ever happened. As if it were completely normal to just turn up in the middle of the night with chocolate crème pudding and expect to be invited in. Well, he had not expected to be invited in, he had invited himself in.
In the last orange beam of light that peeked through the door before it fell closed, you could see how tired Satoru looked. Dark shadows strangely drew over his face, but before you could see what it was that coated his skin, darkness enveloped you both, only a faint, blue light from an electrical appliance giving you a faint idea of where he stood.
Silence spread between you, uncomfortable silence like you had never known it with him before. But what were you supposed to do? He had ended things, so what was he doing here now?
“Don’t I get a welcome-home-kiss,” he teased, and in the darkness you heard him put down the plastic bag.
“Get out,” you whispered.
You wanted to sound strong, dominant, and pissed off. But you only sounded sad and weak. He had no business coming back here, playing with your feelings like that. Absolutely no business. You deserved better, you deserved more. You deserved someone who didn’t just play with your feelings for the fun of it and then turned up a day later in the middle of the night, with fucking chocolate pudding. Even if it was your favourite treat.
The silence that fell this time, was different. It was heavy. The faint blue light bounced off of Satoru’s smooth uniform trousers, shimmering mysteriously. And when he moved, you almost hoped it was to leave.
But you should have known him better than that. Instead of turning towards the door, he stepped forward in the dark, right in front of where you stood with your back pressed against the wall.
“There is nothing I can tell you to make up for how I hurt you,” he spoke quietly and seriously. It was strange hearing him like that, when usually his voice was tinted in playfulness.
Damn right, you though to yourself, but stayed quiet, punishing him with your silence instead.
“And there is no excuse that I never told you who I was, never let you into my life. I want to change that. I want you to know that from today on everything is different. The power balance of the earth has shifted, and I can finally be… me, the person you deserve me to be, be honest, just… free. I want to tell you everything. Will you let me?”
He stood so close to you that you could feel his breath on your face as he talked.
“You were the one who broke up with me,” you reminded him, trying to summon the same anger with which you had ripped the sheets off your bed earlier. “Why would I care about what you want any longer?"
You heard Satoru take a shuddering breath before he answered: “Because I brought chocolate pudding?”
“Get out,” you repeated, but of course Satoru didn’t listen. Instead, he turned and moved towards the living room, flicking on the light there.
Reluctantly you followed him, finally being able to take in his appearance completely. As you had guessed, he wore his uniform trousers, the dark material smooth and clean. Much unlike his black cotton t-shirt. It had rips and holes all over it, the fabric discoloured by blood, but his pale skin underneath seemed to be unharmed. As your eyes wandered to his face, they widened in quiet shock and surprise. His usually pristine white hair was streaked red, with blood coating the strands together, more blood being smeared over his face. But there were no wounds you could spot on him. Was it even his own blood? If not, whose was it?
“Oh, it’s mine,” Satoru shrugged as if he had read your thoughts, and flopped down on the sofa, leaning his head back and glancing up at you with these stupid blue eyes of his. “I got into a bit of a brawl.”
You blinked. He had gotten into “a bit of a brawl”? Since when was Satoru the type to pick fights?
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to fix things. Or at least try to fix things. The rest is up to you, really.” He sounded disgustingly sincere, but the hint of nervousness in his voice did not escape you.
“And how do you think you can do that? Satoru, you broke up with me! You left me standing there as if I had never meant anything to you at all! What makes you think I’m ready to waste my time on someone who doesn’t give two damns about me!”
“I figured it would be easier for you to think I didn’t love you anymore, than for you to find out I had died.”
“I wasn’t sure you ever loved me to begin with,” you shouted at him, and the hurt that suddenly flickered over his face was worryingly satisfying. But then the second part of his sentence registered, and you stopped. “Wait- died? What are you even talking about?”
Satoru stood back up from the sofa, facing you, and closed his eyes for a moment as if he was preparing for his next words. When he opened them again, they were swimming with a vulnerability you had never seen in him before. It almost scared you, and alarmed you took a step backwards. Satoru was never vulnerable with you, maybe not even with anyone. He was always playful and a little childish, and when you tried to find out more about him, he shut you out with his immature jokes. So now that he seemed like he was carrying his heart on his sleeve, you were not sure how to take it.
“My name is Gojō Satoru,” he began, speaking so seriously that you took another step back. Who was the man in front of you? “I’m the leader of the Gojō Clan, one of the three big Jujutsu Clans in Japan. I inherited both the Limitless and the Six Eyes, making me the first jujutsu sorcerer to do so in hundreds of years. My birth altered the balance of the world.”
Confused you stared at him. Jujutsu? As in magic? Seeing your irritation, Satoru sighed slightly before explaining: “The world is not just inhabited by the beings you can see. But also by curses. They are created from the pain and fear of humans, and normal people like you can’t see them. But you can still get hurt or even get killed by them. So, people who can see them, fight against them. I’m one of them. And I teach others how to do it. I taught Megumi-” he choked up then, and all of a sudden the confident man before you disappeared, leaving behind someone who seemed to have lost all hope. Satoru’s face had turned pale, paler than usual. His blue eyes grew brighter as tears began rising in them and he looked so lost. Trying to get rid of the tears, he blinked and shook his head, but then he dropped his shoulders, his lower lips quivering, and he quickly bit it to suppress the motion. “I don’t think he’ll make it-”
It felt like your heart stopped in your chest. Forget everything he had told you about Jujutsu. What did he mean by saying he thought Megumi might not make it?
“What happened to Megumi,” you asked, keeping your eyes on your ex-boyfriend. “Satoru! What happened to him?” Desperately you stepped forward, grabbing him on the torn, black shirt he wore. You didn’t know Megumi very well, and while you had liked him from the start, initially you had only cared for him because Satoru did. But over time you had grown attached to the quiet, sarcastic boy with the unruly black hair and those disturbingly dark-blue eyes. You felt responsible for him, just like you knew Satoru did. If something had happened to him- gods, you didn’t want to imagine what Satoru went through. “What happened to Megumi,” you asked once more.
“I think I killed him.”
You froze, staring at the way Satoru swayed where he was standing before you before he dropped forward against you, his arms coming around you, holding you close.
You staggered under the tall man’s weight but kept him upright.
“What do you mean, you think you killed him?” Your voice was louder and shriller than you intended it to be. Had Satoru just confessed to having killed his protégé?
“He got possessed by an ancient sorcerer, Ryōmen Sukuna. Back in November already,” Satoru whispered, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck. Stiffly you held him up, not moving even though normally you would have circled your arms around his middle and massaged little, comforting patterns into his back. But he had broken up with you, he had no right to ask for comfort from you. And he had killed a boy. Did you expect him to comfort him for murdering someone?
“It was agreed that since I’m the only one who would stand a chance against him, we would meet in battle today. That’s why-” his arms tightened around you, pulling you closer to him. You only stiffened further. “That’s why I broke up with you. I thought it would be better to break your heart by making you believe I didn’t love you anymore than for you to find out I had died. Because that’s what I was expecting from today. I didn’t expect to win; there was no way I would win.”
“But you did. And you didn’t die.”
“I did. I did die. I- Sukuna killed me.”
“You’re very alive for a dead man.” Alive, warm, his heart beating against your chest, his breath fanning over your neck. He was very alive. Unlike Megumi.
“Fate wasn’t done with me yet. I wasn’t done with fate yet. That’s Jujutsu for you.”
He pulled away then, taking a step backwards, and lifting his shirt up a little. A fresh scar, long and ragged, looped around his waist like a belt.
You furrowed your brows. This one was new. You had seen Satoru shirtless just a few days ago, and then there had been no scar. The one that adorned his skin now looked at least three weeks old, still red and rigid. It must have been a terribly deep wound.
-
“Hey Principal! Thought ya said no Jujutsu Sorcerer dies without regrets!”
At Yaga’s annoyed gesture, as if he was shooing away Satoru’s words like flies, laughter bubbled past Suguru’s lips, making Satoru laugh as well, soon joined by all the others in the room.
“Now I’m hoping this isn’t a dream,” Satoru mumbled, crossing his arms behind his neck, and leaning back against the back rest of the bench he was sitting on.
Orange afternoon light flitted through the dusty windows, lighting up the planes in the distance. It was a beautiful day to die, he thought to himself. He just hoped Yūji and his other students wouldn’t take his death all too heavy. They must have known there was no way he’d ever really make it.
The smile on his lips slowly faltered, as another face appeared in his memory. He just couldn’t shake the image of your expression when he had left you in that Udon shop less than a day ago. You had looked so hurt. Of course, he had known you wouldn’t exactly be happy about getting broken up with. But he had never believed that you’d actually be this hurt. All this time he had told himself that you merely tolerated him. He knew he was annoying, and he had done his best to always keep his feelings hidden behind a mask of playfulness. He couldn’t risk showing you the true depth of his love for you in order to protect you from your own feelings.
He had always, ever since he had first taken you on a date, known that one day there would be the risk of him being taken away from you. Letting you fall for him completely would have been irresponsible. This was also why he had broken up with you. So you were at least mad at him if you found out he had died. But the way you had looked at him when he had left the Udon shop that evening- it had been then that he knew he had failed in his stupid attempt to keep you from falling for him. He had left anyway, had faced Sukuna anyway. Had died.
And now?
As orange light warmed Satoru’s cheeks, he couldn’t help but wonder what you were doing now. What time was it? Half past four? You probably were still at work. Had you cried last night? He had only ever seen you cry over movies. What would you look like if you cried for real? Drumming his fingers against his black uniform trousers, he felt an unfamiliar itch in his chest grow stronger and stronger. He didn’t want you to cry because of an idiot like him. You deserved better than that. You deserved to be held and be told just how much he loved you.
Satoru stood up, drawing Suguru’s attention to him, but his best friend stayed quiet, just watching as he paced up and down.
How could he have allowed himself to hurt you like that? And now he was dead? How much more would you cry if you found out he had died? You would not even get to hear the whole truth, because you were no sorcerer. He had made sure to shield you from this world, had made sure to keep you innocent and safe from the horrors of Jujutsu. And while it was true that he had only tried to protect you, you didn’t deserve to be treated like a child. You deserved to know everything. About who he was, about the responsibility he carried, the responsibility you would carry if you decided to stay with him. About the Jujutsu World, about his imprisonment, about Megumi’s possession- you deserved to know everything. But most of all you deserved to know just how much he loved you.
“I didn’t think you’d stay for as long as you do.”
It was Suguru’s chuckle, that made Satoru look up from where he had stared at the floor while pacing up and down. Questioningly looking at his best friend, Satoru came to a stop.
“Go on,” Suguru encouraged. “You’ve already made your decision, haven’t you?”
“But I’ve only just got you back…” Satoru couldn’t help the way his throat closed up at the thought of losing his best friend all over again.
“I’m dead, Satoru,” Suguru smiled. “You aren’t, not yet. And (y/n) isn’t either. You should go. Take care of Sukuna, and then go home and make things right.”
Satoru stared at Suguru for a long moment, tried to memorise those brown eyes, the messily bound back hair.
“You got a life to live, you know?”
Satoru chuckled at these words, finally averting his gaze, looking out of the wide windows towards the sunset.
“You’ve always been my best friend, you know,” he smiled, looking back to Suguru, “and nothing will ever change that.”
“Just don’t mourn us too much, alright,” Suguru laughed, stretching in his seat.
“Who said I ever did,” Satoru pouted in return, and then sighed, thinking about what was going to happen next, the pain, the exhaustion. He was not looking forward to that. All just for the slim chance that you might forgive him. But he’d do anything for a chance to feel your lips against his again, even just to see your eyes again. “I won’t mourn you,” he promised with a last glance at Suguru, “but I can’t promise that I won’t miss you.”
Satoru blinked, and suddenly the airport was gone, and he was looking up into the evening sky instead. Pain radiated from his waist, so awful that it felt like his whole body was set aflame. Blood wet his clothes, trickled from his lips and down his chin and cheeks. What a mess. In the distance, Sukuna’s voice kept drowning on.
“Your infinity meant nothing. As long as it existed within that space – that world – it would all be torn apart.” Oh god, was Sukuna really talking to him? Even after he had sliced him in two and killed him? How arrogant could that guy be? “It was a near impossible technique to pull of. But that model proved to be quite effective.” If anyone had ever been full of themselves, it had to be Sukuna, keeping boasting over Satoru’s dead body. Well, not dead anymore. “You did well, Gojō Satoru. I won’t forget you for as long as I live.”
“Not so long then,” Satoru mumbled, more to himself than Sukuna or anyone else, while pushing back to his feet. His legs tingled the same way they did when he sat formally for too long. That’s what he got for being sliced in two. Tingly legs. Definitely an experience that didn’t need repetition then. “Let’s finish this right now.”
Sukuna turned back to him, his red eyes widening in surprise. Or shock. Gojō wasn’t sure. What he was sure of was that he was sick of Sukuna. He had done enough damage. It was time Yūji and Megumi were left alone. It was time they all went home, got a nice shower, some proper food into their stomachs (preferably followed by a huge dessert), and a good night’s sleep. And in Satoru’s case a long, deep kiss by those pretty, pretty lips he loved so much. Oh dear, after he was done with Sukuna, he’d still have to face you and put things right on that front. Well, one after the other.
“I wanna get this over with. I got a special someone to go home to.”
-
“I died. And all I could think was that I had made you believe I didn’t love you. If I had to decide between living just one more second with you or a long life without you, I would choose you every single time, over and over again. I love you like I never believed I could love anyone. And I never told you in a way that would actually make you believe me. Because I was scared that if you did, and then something happened to me, you’d get hurt so much more badly than if you thought I didn’t really care. But I had to tell you. That was all I could think about, that was why I had to keep fighting. I had to tell you that I love you, in a way that you wouldn’t doubt me. That’s why I came back. That’s why I killed Sukuna. That’s why maybe Megumi will never wake up.”
All these information was too much for you. Talks of battles and magic, of ancient evil sorcerers, scars, death… where were you to start? So you started with the one thing you could understand: Megumi was hurt. For the fourth time you asked: “What happened to Megumi?”
Satoru shook his head, as if he was trying to shake his thoughts into place.
“When Sukuna took over his body, his soul was suppressed, like in a dream state or… more like a coma. This way Sukuna was able to control his body without Megumi’s mind having any influence over it. When Itadori, one of my students, and I killed Sukuna, we thought Megumi’s soul would wake back up, that his mind would take back over but… it didn’t. He isn’t dead, he’s comatose, and nobody can tell if he will ever wake up again.”
His voice had grown lower over the last sentences, making it almost hard to understand him. Weakly he took a few steps back, sitting down on the arm rest of the sofa. He looked tired. Satoru was never tired, never once in the almost two years of dating him had he been tired. And now he looked like he had not slept for a month straight. Dark circles ran under his eyes, his posture was deflated, his eyes heavy-lidded. And then there was the sadness that seemed to be oozing out of every single one of his pores. It made the air heavy with grief, and it was only when he spoke up again, that your heart finally began taking pity on him.
“I lost the one person I swore myself to protect from harm, and I think I lost the only person I could ever truly love.” He looked up at you then, despair in his eyes. “I don’t blame you. It’s my own fault. I made sure to hurt you so badly that you’d never want me back. I should leave.”
He got up from where he had been sitting on the armrest, but you were quicker, stepping in front of him, and keeping him from leaving.
“Step through that door, and you will lose me,” you warned him.
Surprised he looked at you, the exact moment he realized you were giving him a second chance clearly recognizable. His breathing quickened, and he plopped back down on the armrest. His eyes followed your hands, as you brough them up to the hem of his shirt, and slipped one hand underneath, fingertips ghosting over the fresh scar.
“How did it heal so fast,” you asked, looking back up at Satoru.
“Cursed Technique Reversal,” he answered almost absentmindedly, his eyes fluttering shut in bliss at the feeling of your skin against his.
“Cursed what?”
“It’s when a you use cursed technique and-”
“Forget I asked.”
Satoru shut up, a small sound of protest leaving his lips as you removed your hand from under his shirt again.
“What happened to Megumi-” you started, and immediately Satoru dropped his chin to his chest. “I think I barely understood any of the things you just told me, but from what I can tell, it wasn’t your fault. You didn’t mean to hurt him. And I know you care for him; I know you would never hurt him intentionally. And you said it yourself. Nobody can tell if he will wake up. So maybe he will. Maybe even tomorrow.”
Satoru chuckled, a sad smile on his lips. “I thought, between the two of us, I was the irrationally optimistic one.”
“You don’t look irrationally optimistic to me right now, and the balance must be kept,” you replied, gently nudging your foot against his, making him look at you. “Besides, it’s called comforting someone.”
Satoru observed your face for a while, taking in the way you were watching him in return. How had he ever been able to hurt you? But he had done it in the conviction that it would save you pain. Maybe he should have anticipated that you would suffer either way.
“Kiss me?”
His voice was very small as he asked, not entirely sure if you had already forgiven him enough to follow his request, but much to his relief, you brought your hand up to his neck and pulled him against your lips.
The kiss was short, but proof enough to Satoru that he hadn’t lost you. No matter how much he might deserve it, he had not lost you. You were still right here in front of him, standing so close to him, that his hand settled perfectly on your waist, as he exhaled shakily into the kiss.
“Will you explain the whole Jujutsu stuff to me, or will you only start hiding behind jokes again if I ask,” you wondered, pulling away just enough to be able to look into his eyes.
“I’ll explain,” Satoru decided. “Because you deserve to know everything there is to know about me. And if by the end of it, you don’t think you can stay with me, I’ll leave, and you’ll never have to see me again.” The way your hand suddenly tightened its grip into his shirt made him smile a little. “But if it were up to me, I’d stay by your side until we’re old and grey.”
“You’re already white haired. I don’t think you’ll turn much greyer.”
“Oh, how mean,” he whined, bringing his second hand also to your waist and wrapping his arms around you so you were standing between his knees, and pressed to his chest. Leaning backwards, he let himself fall onto the sofa with you on top of him, delighted by the squeal that left you at the unexpected action. With some effort he managed to shimmy up his way until his head was resting on the other arm rest, but his legs were so long they simply reached over the edge of the sofa.
Fumbling his phone out of his back pocket, he threw it onto the table and wrapped his arms around you.
“Can we stay like that forever,” he asked, sounding sleepy all of a sudden.
You propped yourself up over him, and brushed strands of white hair out of his forehead.
“Only for tonight,” you answered. “Tomorrow we’ll go and visit Megumi.”
“I don’t think I can stand to see him like that,” Satoru whispered.
“You’ll have to. You took responsibility for him. You need to see him. And I want to be there for him, too.”
Satoru nodded, his eyes fluttering shut. “But only tomorrow. Not tonight. I need you to be there for me tonight.”
“You’re so needy,” you chuckled, and he nodded again in agreement.
“You like it.”
“I just don’t know why.”
“Because I’m so cool?”
“Hardly.”
Satoru laughed sleepily. “Keep telling yourself that.”
But you hadn’t lied. You didn’t like – didn’t love – Satoru because he was cool. You loved him because even though he behaved like an overgrown child most of the time, he took responsibility (albeit begrudgedly). He was caring and sweet and protective. You knew he had lost people close to him, even though he had never talked about it. He didn’t have to, for you to guess. You hoped you’d get to tell him one day that you loved him just the way he was, and not even the things in that Jujutsu world of his, that he was worried would chase you away, would change that.
His breathing evened out quickly, and you wondered if you had ever seen him actually asleep. In the evenings it had always been you, who had fallen asleep first and in the mornings he had always already been up by the time you woke up. Now his white lashes were resting against his still blood smeared cheeks, his hair was a dishevelled mess of white streaked with red, but his features were completely relaxed. You smiled a little as you watched him, until suddenly, from the corner of your eyes, you saw the screen of his phone, which he had thrown on the living room table, lighting up with an incoming call.
Turning your head, you were able to make out the name Itadori, and recognized it as one of his students’. Quickly you reached over and answered the call.
“This is (y/n), Satoru’s-” Satoru’s what? Were you back together? Still separated? How would you explain that to his student?
“Huh? (y/n)-san? I always thought your voice would sound different,” a young man at the other side of the phone wondered. He knew who you were? Had Satoru told him about you? “Oh, this is Itadori Yūji, nice to meet you. Is Gojō -sensei there? I need to tell him something.”
“Uhm…” your eyes wandered to the sleeping man who had pulled you on top of himself, his arms still wound around your middle, his head lulled to the side. “He’s asleep. I can give him your message when he wakes up?”
“Ah, yeah. I’m not surprised he’s tired. Not every day you get sliced in two, not even for the strongest, hm?”
“Excuse me, what? Sliced in-”
“Anyway, when he wakes up,” Itadori continued, ignoring your gasp. “Tell him Fushiguro’s up. Woke up a few minutes ago.”
“Megumi-kun’s awake? Is he okay?” You could feel your hands beginning to shake.
“Yeah, he’s awake. And super pissed that he’s missing like almost 2 months of his memories. As you can see, all is well.”
“I don’t think that having forgotten about two months of your life can be classified as ‘all is well’,” you protested.
“It’s a matter of perspective really,” Itadori answered indifferently. “Oh, I think I have to go, Fushiguro’s shouting for me.”
“Okay,” you nodded. “And hey, Itadori-kun! Tell Megumi Satoru and I are happy he’s okay. Satoru was very worried.”
There was silence on the other side of the phone, before Itadori answered. “He didn’t say anything but… you had a fight, didn’t you? You and Gojō -sensei. Did you make up?”
You glanced at the man sleeping underneath you. He looked peaceful like you had rarely seen him before.
“Yeah,” you mumbled, brushing a hand through his white strands. “Yeah, we made up.”
“That’s good. I’ll let Fushiguro know you’re sending your regards!”
You were about to thank him, when there was a faint voice through the speaker, which you recognized as Megumi’s immediately.
“Tell her, they don’t have to come and visit. Gojō ’s just gonna cause trouble for the hospital staff!”
You almost laughed out loud. Megumi probably wasn’t wrong. Quickly your eyes flickered to check if your stifled laugh had woken Satoru, but he didn’t stir.
“Fushiguro wants you to know, that he’s really looking forward to you visiting with Gojō -sensei tomorrow,” Itadori giggled into the phone, making you snort again.
Again you looked down to Satoru, but he kept sleeping peacefully.
“Idiot! I said to not-”
“Okay, gotta go now, good night!”
And with that, Itadori hung up.
Turning the screen off, you placed the phone down on the table and adjusted to lay more comfortably on Satoru’s chest. You had the distinct feeling, that you didn’t understand what you had almost lost that day.
Maybe that was for the best.
Maybe you would understand one day, when you felt secure in your relationship with Satoru. But for now, you did your best to push the thoughts of Megumi in a coma, that scar around Satoru’s waist and his strange tales of sorcerers, curses and magic out of your head. For now, all you had to do was to rest your head on Satoru’s chest and fall asleep to the sound of his steady heartbeat.

Gifts were important. Gifts were a way of expressing profound love for an individual, at least that is what Aziraphale had taught you. Gifts meant a lot; they were a language all their own. Gifts meant I love you.
Gifts were hard.
You stared at the heaping pile of crafting utensils Maggie from the record shop had leant you. There were a lot of options and she had even been kind enough to make you a list of ideas, the only problem was that none of it seemed quite right for Aziraphale and Crowley.
You stared at the felt and the streamers and silently willed yourself to come up with an idea, but nothing happened. Sighing, you sat back with your shoulders pressing against the side of Aziraphale's desk. It was lucky that they were out, the sight of you sitting on the floor surrounded by confetti might raise an alarm. Or perhaps not, you were prone to floor sitting.
You tossed your head back against the leg of the table and the telephone jingled with the bang. Perhaps you should call her and ask for her help, but no, this was your idea, and it would make it even more special if you did it yourself. There had to be something you could make.
Your eyes drifted to a stray bottle of silver glitter and stayed there, staring with such mindless intensity it was a miracle the tension didn't cause the bottle to bust. Miracles. You could use a little miracle of your own right about now.
"Wait," you sat up too quickly, dizzying yourself, and snatched up the little plastic bottle of glitter. "If it's only a small miracle, and one for good, then I can't possibly get in trouble for it. And it's still like I'm making it myself, because I am." A smile stretched wide across your face, and you turned to the plant in the corner, "This is going to be perfect."
Hours later, when Crowley and Aziraphale arrived back at the bookshop, there was a notable difference to the building. That being because the entire inside of the bookshop had turned into a Victorian style ballroom. "Right, well...what's all this?" You beamed at the demon from where you stood in the center of the large room. "Suprise! It's a gift!"
Aziraphale's face went from something sad - which you had luckily missed - to something proud and beaming. "A gift, yes! And, oh, how wonderful!" Crowley didn't look quite as convinced. However, he perked up quite notably when the record player you had been fiddling with started to play Queen's Somebody to Love. You offered a hand to both fellow angel and the demon in front of you, "Care to dance?"
"Why certainly!" Aziraphale answered for the both of them, whatever complaint Crowley had been about to give died in his throat as he was yanked along. As you danced, you made a mental note to thank Maggie for the record next time you saw her. Perhaps you might even thank her with a gift.

TMNT 2012 with an AFAB s/o on their period
Note(s): I wrote this with a ftm Reader in mind, but there are no gendered pronouns or gendered titles used.
Characters included: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michealangelo, April O'Neil, Casey Jones.
Tumblr media
Leonardo
Listen, as much of a leader and confident guy you may believe he is, he is still a mutant turtle who does not get periods and only knows because it was mentioned in a show once and he wanted to know more. He will not understand, beside the basics of 'bleeding down there, intense hormones, and sometimes unbearable pain depending on who you ask.'
If you're someone who goes through a lot of physical pain expect an overbearing mother figure now in your life, he will literally be there with all the advice he can find that'll help.
With the limited resources in the lair and the fact he can't exactly go shopping himself, he'll ask April or Casey to buy period products or pain relief tablets for you if you complain. Even if he's awkward and shy about asking, he doesn't want to burden you by making you wait for a reply over text or have to get up, the fact it helps you makes it worth it.
Soup is also good, he knows how to make traditional teas and soups for you, with great difficulty, and help from Splinter, that will lessen your stomach cramps. Though if you get cravings he may be a little less helpful, it's hard to get ingredients when you live in the sewers and are hated by most of the world.
If you like company he would stay off patrols once or twice, but he's fairly strict about his schedule and won't go too far off it, even if he wants to help you.
If you don't get much pain, he's still by you in his free time and asking questions, you're literally bleeding he's never going to stop worrying.
Whenever you talk to him he basically soaks in the words like a sponge and uses it to help you, a one off 'yeah, this food helps.' and he's on his knees begging for April to buy some.
Tumblr media
Raphael
Raphael... I love him, but he needs help when it comes to this. I imagine most of the other turtles at least know the basics, Michaelangelo is the worst but he still knows what a period is, but Raph just never really cared enough to learn.
He knows that a period happens... But that's about it. So, if you're in intense or even a small amount of pain and or wake up with blood around you, he's freaking the hell out, he thinks you've been stabbed or something or maybe he accidentally hurt you with his sais as you slept.
If you explain he's sort of like 'yeah whatever, how do we stop it from hurting you?' and then he never leaves your side.
You run out of products? Step out the way Casey and April, he's sneaking in the shop and thieving- I mean, he's putting on a trenchcoat and hat to hide his turtleness, and buying the products like a good mutant ninja turtle should. But seriously, he doesn't trust the two to buy the right ones, he gets the exact brand right somehow, even if you never tell him what one you want.
He pushes the exercise side of it, even if it doesn't help much, exercise is something that helps him so when he hears it can help he doesn't research further. It takes you explaining that it not only depends on the person but the exercise for him to pout and let you lead.
Tumblr media
Donatello
He'd probably panic for a while but then tries to look through a science lense, like, oh! You need to level your blood sugars in this week, these excersises will help you but these won't, make sure to keep your stomach warm so you can lessen the contractions and pain.
Gets a bit sad if you're the type to be more distant and want alone time on your period, especially if you don't like loud noises. Donatello usually has you watching him while he works on his science stuff, so when you aren't it's a demotivator.
Ends up completely abandoning his work just to follow you around like a sad puppy, tending to your every need or waiting outside your room for a text from you if you need something.
If you want him around he's a lot more easy going, if you don't mind sitting in the lab with him while he works then he's all for it, of course he's checking on you every once and a while, and will talk when he wants to, but it comes from him wanting to help you.
If you have health issues caused by your period or your period is made worse by your health issues he's helping you a lot, he knows a lot about human anatomy and how to help ease pain, especially since April and Casey started hanging out with the Turtles more often.
He has a whole section of a diary dedicated to you, and that includes your period, when you're due, what food you've told him helps you, what foods you've said make it worse, what pain you usually describe as, etc, etc.
Tumblr media
Michealangelo
Michaelangelo is 100% the type of guy who just goes along with what you want because he wants to help, he probably knows that you bleed, you get mood swings, and you're in pain. And that's all he needs to know.
He's watching you for your entire cycle and just PRAYING nothing bad will happen, gives you all the food you want, no matter how unusual. This can sometimes make it worse, because cravings aren't always foods that will help you, and he feels really really bad if that happens.
He tries to hold himself back on just giving you whatever you want, but when you look up he just folds and starts treating you like royalty.
He can't make a lot of normal foods, he can make pizzas and maybe a decent sandwich, but besides that he's a bit useless, so he tends to buy you microwaved dinners. Unless you don't like them. And then he's just lost.
Mikey asks Donatello to help on the more science level, like no, chocolate will not help, that's a dumb myth, it will only make your sugar levels higher and increase pain, plus blood flow, and nobody wants that.
Cue Mikey closing the oven to hide his chocolate pizza he was making for you.
When buying or storing products, he tends to sort of forget how expensive they are, he'll go in with only a couple of dollars and fall to the floor in utter shock upon realising that is not nearly enough.
But he may or may not steal a few, he saves the city, he gets no money from it, this is completely justified in my opinion.
It's not like he tells anybody anyway.
Tumblr media
April O'Neil
She understands so much, whatever you need she'll get for you within minutes.
If your cycles match up April and you will have days where you just sit down and cuddle together, usually at her apartment or in the lair.
She's most likely the one who goes shopping for stuff since she's usually shopping for the turtles as well, though you can come along or even do it yourself if hers is painful and yours is bearable enough to go and vice versa.
If you don't get much pain or mood swings, she makes a few jokes on how she wishes she was you, but if you ask her to stop she will.
Understands the pain that might come mentally, if yours is really bad during the month she even ignores the Turtles to help you out. Unless you want to be left alone in which case she can do that as well, but she will text you every few hours, this is probably happening with or without your period given how dangerous being friends with her is.
If you have intense pain, she's extremely worried for you and will try to help in any way she can, especially if you have other issues that impact your period and or your period causes you other issues.
Tumblr media
Casey Jones
Once he gets it Casey doesn't care for the exact details, all he needs to know is when he needs to be involved. Then he's actually really helpful
Usually gets too embarrassed to buy pads for you so he asks April to do it for him, if she refuses he awkwardly makes his way over and will be red the entire time he buys them.
He will begrudgingly be mushy if it means you'll feel better, but also reluctantly leaves you alone if you prefer being alone, he's complicated when it comes to you.
Tends to try to make you laugh or smile if you get sad, but fails to realise that the flood gates of hell spill over with unholy blood whenever you do laugh too hard.
If you're someone with less blood and or pain he'll be asking once every few hours if you're okay, every month is the same, he never learns that you're going to be fine, or that you don't experience too much pain, but it shows he cares.
If you have intense pain he's next to you always helping and at your beck and call, he's fine with skipping out on time with April or the turtles because he doesn't want you in pain.
This has been in my drafts for a little over a year, I've only just got the strength to finish it (⁠。⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)
