@apocryphis asked:
"spent too much time out in the chaos of people again?" aventurine leans on the back of the couch, just behind ratio, whose contrived expression and demeanour he has learnt to recognise all too well. too many people, too much light, too much noise - too much. poor man - he looks both exhausted and tormented by the lingering remnants of the world around him, even back to the peace and quiet of these quarters. very well then. with a little smile, aventurine slowly brings his hands over the doctor's eyes; blocking all and any light that would make it even through closed eyelids. a poor substitute to true darkness, but... "it'll be sunset soon. night time in less than an hour." the gambler says, voice made as quiet as if wrapped in velvet. "just be patient... and tell you what. i'll even shut up. but just this once." except it won't be just this once - and deep down, aventurine wonders if they don't both know it.
Inbox Call! | @apocryphis
The gambler is spared not even a glance this time, nor a grunt in affirmation. He knows, therefore there is no need to answer his question; it is merely rhetoric. Perhaps Ratio would have chided him for the 'small talk' if he'd been feeling up to it, but focusing on the firmness of the couch's cushions against his back is the more appealing option.
To put it colloquially, work sucked. Between meetings that his presence, unfortunately, was required for (pointlessly, he'd add, given that the entirety of the time was spent with imbeciles arguing in circles up until he'd had enough and silenced them all), classes with a new wave of students hopelessly unacclimated to his speed or expectations (by tomorrow alone, he expects his class attendance to drop by 70-80%), and several rounds of thesis review with his graduate students (the least agonizing part of his day, he'd say, and even welcomed amidst everything else but still draining nonetheless), by the time he'd entered their quarters he'd been just about ready to collapse on the couch. So he did.
He should really have set up a bath instead, truthfully. The feeling of the outside weighs on his skin, and the thought of it lingering on the couch now leaves him grimacing, but before he can change his mind and gather the will to open his eyes and start his usual routine, familiar hands slide over his eyes, sending him into darkness. Normally he'd cringe at Aventurine touching his face, but this time the coolness of his smooth leather gloves, followed by the hint of warmth from his hands peeking through the fabric, brings with it a strange sense of reprieve. Perhaps it is the gentle pressure against his browline and cheekbones, or perhaps it's the cologne he'd become acquainted with, and grown to associate with the Stoneheart -- subtler, far subtler, than when they'd first met -- or perhaps even his voice, soft as silk, that slowly causes the furrow between his brows to fade. Perhaps Aventurine would even feel him begin to relax under his hands. How strange, that the voice which used to spark so much apprehension and dread within him carries a small comfort instead, a reassurance that the shorter man's presence wouldn't simply up and fade away. A presence that, against all reason, now sits with him better than being alone.
Aventurine says that he would shut up for once -- a lie, for Aventurine is a creature of habit like himself and doesn't do things without reason, contrary to what he'd (successfully) have others believe -- and Ratio thinks that, for once, he wouldn't mind if he didn't (does Aventurine know this, too?).
...They'd been through a lot together, hadn't they?
Rather than respond, the doctor simply sighs, allows Aventurine to remain, and sinks into the couch as best he can with the impression of grime weighing against the back of his mind. Without necessarily counting, he lets the seconds pass until the need for clean clothes and fresh hair becomes too unbearable to ignore. There's a suspicion nagging at his mind that, perhaps, the gambler would have been content to stand there covering his eyes for the remaining forty-six minutes until nightfall, but that's neither good for his back nor Ratio's own sanity, so he reaches up to curl his fingers lightly over Aventurine's inner wrist -- not a tap nor a nudge, but enough of a request to release him as either. "Enough," he mumbles, intending to sit up the moment the gambler's hands are pulled away -- but upon blinking his eyes open he's caught by the gorgonizing gaze of the other peeking at him from where he's leaning over him from behind, hair curtaining the frames of his face, and finds himself (not for the first time since meeting Aventurine) unable to break away.
Several more seconds pass in this impromptu staring contest before he reaches up to gently tweak the Avgin's nose, using the distraction to free himself from both Aventurine and the couch. "I'm going to run a bath," he announces, and briskly turns on his heel to fetch a towel and robe. "Lest you find yourself, inexplicably, in some sort of emergency, do not interrupt me."
And don't look at me like that... it's dangerous.
...But for good measure, he'll reach out and ruffle Aventurine's hair as he strides past.

Spill it! If you had a once in a lifetime opportunity to reclaim your royal title and it meant abandoning your wife and children, would you do it?
My muse has just taken a Truth Potion, send “Spill it” plus a question and they will answer.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed, a flicker of the old, fierce pride flashing in them. "If you had asked me this question years ago" he began, his voice low and intense, "I would have taken the opportunity in an instant. Reclaiming my royal title meant everything to me. I would have abandoned my wife and children without a second thought. The call of my Saiyan heritage, the need to restore my birthright, would have overridden any other consideration."
He paused, the memories of his past self flickering in his mind. "But time has changed me" he continued, his tone softening slightly. "The years spent on Earth have reshaped my view of the world." The time he had spent with the future version of his son had been a pivotal moment, even if he hadn’t recognized it at the time. The sacrifices and the silent strength of Trunks had stirred something deep within him. It was this future version of his son that first cracked the walls around his heart.
And then there was Bulma. She had eventually managed to find a way into his heart, a feat he once believed impossible. Her unwavering support, her brilliance, and her relentless spirit had become anchors in his life. She had shown him a different kind of strength, one that didn’t rely on brute force but on compassion and resilience.
"I know I’m not the same man I used to be. The title of prince once defined me, but now, it feels almost hollow. I was left with the impression that I was great, that I would lead my people to victory. Everything I knew slipped through my fingers, my home, destroyed. My greatest, my status, challenged, diminished by Kakrot upon my arrival to Earth. The heavy burden of my peoples revenge, the task of defeating Frieza, it weighed heavily on my shoulders and yet, it was Kakarot who triumphed."
The bitterness in his voice was unmistakable, but there was also a note of acceptance. "Knowing that if my people saw me now, I would be a failure in their eyes. This was once a source of my immense shame. Now it’s a part of my growth. I understand that my worth isn’t tied to my title alone but to my actions, to the bonds I’ve formed."

idk if you write for more than one character at a time, but can i please request the male hashira x gn reader headcanons for when their crush sits on their lap? mostly fluff maybe slight spice? thanks
when you sit on their lap hcs
Pairing(s): male hashira x gn!reader (except muichiro)
CW: sfw, slightly suggestive, gn!reader, lap sitting, very suggestive on tengen’s part, slight mention of thigh riding and grinding
A/N: again, I am so sorry this took awhile because I was on vacation I will be working on what’s in my inbox now <33
Gyomei is weirdly calm about it
Probably because he’s blind or cause he doesn’t have a hard time keeping his composure
He’ll adjust himself so you have a more comfortable position to sit in
Keeps his arms wrapped around your waist or torso to help you balance on his thigh or wherever you’re sitting down
Rests his chin onto your head occasionally
Sometimes forgets to tell you to get off, and you guys just remain in that position for a long time just talking like normal
Another hashira would have to see you two and point it out in order for you to finally get off
Gyomei would apologize if necessary and let you off calmly
“Y/N, I enjoy you sitting on me, we should have more conversations like this.”
Sanemi on the other hand is a little more aggressive…
When you sit down on his lap, he’s completely flustered, his face bright red and hot
He’d yell at you to get off, even though he made no effort to get you off
We know you enjoy it Sanemi it’s okay
If you got off, he’d growl under his breath and try to scoot himself closer to you until you sat back on him
If you stay on his lap, he averts his eyes from yours, and grits his teeth while blushing furiously
After some time of awkward silence of him holding your waist and you cuddling him in his lap, a thread basically snaps inside him, and he pulls you close to him, burying his face into your neck
Sanemi would plant your hips down using his bare hands, and press his teeth to your neck, making sure there’s no space between the two of you
“You got me all hot and bothered, Y/N. Now take responsibility you damn brat.”
Rengoku would have a fairly normal, but excited reaction
He would laugh loudly and hug you tightly, smiling up/down at you as you’re situated on his lap
He allow you to rest your head onto his shoulder in a loving manner
Bro literally can’t stop smiling the whole time you’re on his lap
You two just sit there in a joyful manner, hugging each other tightly while laughing and smiling casually
Rengoku definitely holds onto you as tight as he can after atleast 10 minutes of cuddling
He just can’t get enough, you’re too cute
Probably also presses an overwhelming amount of kisses to your cheek every 20-30 seconds
You can literally feel him smiling against your skin as he kisses you
“Y/N! We shall do this again after our next mission!”
Tengen is definitely the most suggestive and flirtatious with this
As soon as you take a seat on his thigh, he smirks and pulls you into him without hesitation
His arms are locked around your waist as he leans into you with a depraved expression
Constant teasing while you’re on him, no doubt about it
Like, he kisses you everywhere accessible, and grips your waist tighter
When you’re on his thigh, he moves his thigh up and down a little, and helps move your waist back and forth against him
Basically allows you to grind on him if you’re okay with it
Teases you by leaning back and placing his arms to rest against a nearby surface as you keep your movements against him up
“Come on Y/N, don’t keep me waiting.”
Giyuu is quite calm and unfazed when you sit on his lap, similar to Gyomei
He just sits back, and occasionally rests his hands onto your waist or shoulders
Poor guy hasn’t had much affection, and is hella disliked so he just stays quiet the whole time
But, he does hold you tightly. It may not be something huge, but you can feel his affection and love in his embrace
Rests his head onto your shoulder
His breathing is calm and slow against your skin as he buries his face in the crook of your neck, with his chin situated between your shoulder and collarbone.
If you try to get up, he’ll let you, but not before asking you to hold him a bit longer
Maybe, just maybe, he’ll smile against you if he feels comfortable with your body pressed against his on his lap
“Y/N…I love you. Don’t leave me, please.”
Obanai remains silent, but it’s no secret that he’s flustered.
He looks away bashfully and squeezes his eyes shut, trying to avoid eye contact with you since it’s too embarrassing for him
He sighs heavily, trying to maintain his composure with you literally seated on his lap
His face is tinted a bright red, not even his bandaged mouth can hide the heavy blush dusting his cheeks
When you look over, you can literally see Kaburamaru giving Obanai a “you’re a fucking pussy” type stare
I guess that causes him to finally look at you and make eye contact
When he does gain some sort of confidence, he rests his hands onto your shoulders, and eventually wraps his arms around your torso, pulling you closer
He pulls you a little too close- putting you chest to chest with him, and his arms locked around you tightly and squeezing you
If you point out the fact that he’s hugging you too tight, he’ll get embarrassed and quietly apologize, before loosening his grip around you
Just let the man hug you and tough it out okay
“I- Y/N…I’m at a loss for words..?”
A/N: hehheehhe did y’all miss me I’m back <3
I’ll come clean and admit- although I came back recently, I have been writing shit for myself the past week or so?
OKAY DONT BLAME ME I NEED TO THERE ARE NO GOOD FANFICS THAT ARE WELL WRITTEN OR HAVE ANY EMOTION I NEEDA TAKE MATTERS IJTO MY OWN HANDS LMFAOAOS 😭

Fainting spell
Full Masterlist Lando Norris Masterlist
Pairing: Lando Norris x Fem!reader
Summary: you have pots syndrome and faint on live
Warnings: Reader faints, fainting, swearing, bad language, blood?, reader gets injured!!! (Please tell me if I missed any?!!!)
“Where’s y/n?” Lando read out from the chat with a smile “she’s currently sat over there-“ lando said as he looked over to you with a smile, “she’s sat in the corner of the room on her phone- baby C’mere” lando said as he held his hand out gesturing for you to come sit on his lap.
You smiled as you walked over to them both “hi everyone…” you smiled as you sat on landos lap, you felt a wave of dizziness hit you but you shook it off.
You stayed there for awhile until lando got thirsty “hang on max, I’m gonna go grab my water bottle” lando said as you got up from his lap so he could go grab it.
You felt the same dizziness when you got up too fast, “y/n? You okay?” Max asked when he saw you looked pale and you nodded “I’m fine..I’m just gonna grab my phone” you said and max nodded as he read the chat.
As you took another two steps you felt the dizziness but ten times worse, your vision went black and you felt yourself collapse to the ground, hitting your head as you did.
“Is y/n okay?” Max read out confused “yes guys she’s fine she just went to grab her phone..” max said with furrowed brows, max has his headphones on so he didn’t hear or see you faint behind him.
User1: OMFG IS SHE OKAY?!
User2: DID SHE FAINT?!
User3: MAX TAKE YOUR FUCKING HEADPHONES OFF
Used4: BEHIND U DUDE- SHES LITERALLY PASSED OUTTT
User5: OMG SHE BETTER BE OKAY!
User6: UHM- WHY DO I SEE BLOOD ON THE FLOORRR?!
Max looked behind him, thinking the chat was messing with him but when he looked behind him and saw you on the floor he quickly threw his headphones off and sprinted out of his chair.
“Y/n?! Fuck- y/n? Are you okay?” He asked but you was completely unconscious, and that’s when he saw the cut on your head and the blood.
“Fuck- LANDO! LANDO!” Max yelled out as he held your head gently, “LANDO!” Max yelled again.
“what did you rage quit again?” Lando laughed as he walked in but his smirk left when he saw max holding you passed out and a massive gush on your head “what happened?!” Lando asked worried
“I- I don’t know I had my headphones on-“ max said as lando carried you onto max’s bed.
“It’s alright- she just fainted…she’s got pots remember?” Lando reminded him and max sighed in relief with a hand on his chest “you could’ve fucking reminded me!”
“I just did!” Lando argued as he checked your cut.
“Is her head okay? I think she hit it on my chair” max said and lando nodded “yeah…she might need a plaster but she’s fine” lando said as he sat next to you waiting for you to wake up.
“Fuckin hell I just had a panic attack” max said as he took a couple deep breaths. “Chat are going crazy” max said as he sat back down on his chair.
“Y/n’s fine you guys- she’s alright” max said “lando is sitting on my bed with her” max explained.
You stirred and felt a pain in your head, “ah- what happened? I feel dizzy” you said as you sat up but lando pushed you down gently “don’t get up too fast baby.”
“What happened?” You asked confused “you fainted and you cut your head but i put a plaster on it..it’s not that bad” lando said checking your cut again and you smiled “thank you..”
“Did you not feel dizzy before?” Lando asked and you nodded “why didn’t you tell me?” Lando huffed as he held your hand, “I didn’t think I’d actually faint- I’m sorry” you said as you wrapped yourself around him burying your face into his neck.
“It’s fine..wanna sit with me? The chat are all very worried about you” lando laughed making you grin “yes please” you smiled as lando carried you with him into his chair, “you wanna play?” He asked as he handed you his controller “thank you baby”
“Don’t let her play! She’s gonna beat me now…” max huffed
Max and lando are both very competitive and stubborn but they both knew for a fact you was better then them and would beat them in games you haven’t even played before.
“You have to be me though” lando grinned as he edited your character for you, “I’m not even allowed to be me in the game?” You asked with a shake of your head as lando giggled.
-
“See?! How does she do the quick turns so fast?! This is bullshit.” Max raged as he threw his head back onto his chair making you bite back your grin.
“Chat said your acting like a baby” lando laughed and max glared at him, “you go against her then” max huffed as he handed him his controller
“Baby Drink..” Lando reminded you as he passed you his water bottle, you took a couple sips as you read the chat.
User1: omg lando is the best bf ever-
User2: couple goals.
User3: is she okay y’all? Why’s she got a plaster on her head?
You smiled at the chat “I’m okay you guys, I cut my head when I fell but I’m alright…I can’t believe I fainted like ten minutes ago and I’m beating them both” you giggled as you rubbed your eye as a wave of dizziness hit you again, “lan?” You said and lando looked down from the screen towards you “mhm? You okay?” He asked as he stroked your thigh “no I feel dizzy again..” you said as you put the controller down “wanna take a break baby? Maybe you shouldn’t look at the screen…c’mon” lando said as he gestured for you to get up, he held you so you got up slowly but that wasn’t enough…you fainted again.
Your eyes rolled back as you collapsed in landos arms “shit-“ lando said as he laid you back down on top of him, “Sorry max- I think I’m gonna carry y/n to bed..You can carry on the stream though?” Lando said as he lifted you up into his arms.
“Nah it’s alright mate. I’m knackered anyway..Sorry guys! We’re gonna end it here- y/n’s okay though” max said to the camera before switching it off.
“Want me to help?” Max asked and lando shook his head “nah it’s alright…Night!” Lando said as he left with you “night” max grinned as he watched lando try to shut the door but failed repeatedly until he just kicked it and left “stupid door.”
“That is my door y’know?” Max shook his head and lando smirked “yes I do know that.”
-
Lando gently laid you onto your bed and quickly grabbed your water bottle adding cold water with ice. “Lan?….did I faint again” you asked and lando nodded as he handed you your bottle.
“Sorry..” you sighed and lando scrunched his face “do not say sorry. It’s not like you do it on purpose”
“I love you- Cuddle?” You asked with a smile and he grinned as he jumped on the bed and wrapped himself around you “duh”
“Is max okay? Is he trying to shut his door or something?” You asked confused when you heard a door shutting and closing making lando smirk.
“He’s fine…let’s just sleep” lando smiled as he rested his face into your neck.
“LANDO! You broke my door! The handle doesn’t work!” Max yelled and you looked down to lando who was biting back his laugh.
“I was only unconscious for a couple minutes!” You shook your head and he couldn’t hold back his laugh.
“ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?!” Max yelled and you both covered your mouths as you nearly cried from laughter.
I hope you enjoyed it lol
