CG VBS Kaito hcs for a friend :D
(Him with the vbs babies ^w^)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• The dad ever oh my God
• Gives all of them the silliest nicknames that either make them giggle or blush each time
• Sneaks them sweets a lot (Meiko is very annoyed by this)
• I don't know how else to word it but he's kind of like Bandit/Bluey's dad when it comes to games, they're ridiculous but he gets very into them, sometimes more than the kiddos himself
• So many uppies for all of them, but especially Kohane, she's so light that he can carry her on his back while doing basically anything
• Kohane loves games like hide and seek, or being given "horsey rides", and Kaito is always willing to provide anything of that sort she desires. Anything his little ones want they get!
• He works extra hard to make sure he doesn't scare or overstimulate her when she's little, he knows her anxiety is worse in this headspace and he wants his little mouse to feel safe!
•An loves helping at the Virtual Singers' café when she's small, and Kaito loves letting her do so! She's his little assistant, adding toppings to drinks and making sure all the pancakes are extra fluffy! It can get a little messy though, and usually the two of them are too busy enjoying their snacks to remember to clean up without Meiko reminding them >-<
• She likes it when he plays with her hair! Even if he's not the best at it, she still likes it! Mr. Kaito makes her look so silly and fun!
• Works extra hard to make sure she feels seen and paid attention to, since that wasn't a constant when she was a kid. Every word she says he's on the edge of his seat, he'll drop everything if she says she wants to show him something, she's singing? Standing ovation this'll surpass RAD WEEKEND (she's like five rn)
• Doing his best to be the greatest CG possible for Akito, not only because he knows how insecure he can be about his regression and how rough his home life can be, but also because of Kaito's greater connection to Aki's true feelings. Knows all of the little ways to make him regress (ruffling his hair, saying he's proud of him, calling him sport or kiddo, etc), Akito is grumpy whenever he manages to make him slip at first but he's grateful deep down.
• One of the few that Akito is truly open about his needs or wants with when small, even if he's a bit grumpy about it. Kaito's nothing but supportive though, and wants to help him get more comfortable with it.
• Loves playing games with him, especially soccer. When Akito's on the older end of his age range he'll put up a real fight but when he's littler Kaito usually lets him win so he doesn't have a grumpy tantrum-
• Since Toya's the littlest of the vbs kids when he's small, Kaito feels that he has to protect him the most. He's just a baby that deserves a proper chance at a good childhood! (Toya called him "Papa" once and now he'd kill for him)
• Always ready to make cookies or warm milk for this little guy! He managed to find some bottles in the café, and is working to find new flavored milks and such to make for Toya to see if he'll like them (he does, but regular chocolate milk will always be his favorite)
• Toya has fallen asleep on his lap so many times before, but it's worth it! It means he's feeling truly safe and small! Who cares if he can't feel his legs! It's for the baby!
• Sometimes when he's working with his DJ equipment he'll let Toya sit on his lap and play with them, pressing the buttons with a wide-eyed fascinated look on his face. Now he's just like Papa! Kaito's so proud.

Word Count: 6,502
Your deep cherry lipstick painted the white seal of the wine bottle you held in your hand as you laughed at something Elle said. Spencer couldn't help but let a small smile pass his lips as he took in your form, hot from the day's work, small strands of your hair sticking to your forehead, a dewy glow illuminating your rosy cheeks.
After a long week, they had found Carl Arnold before he had been able to kill the Dunken family and even coerced a confession out of him. With spirits running high, Elle had suggested some much-needed relaxation before taking off the next day. Since you were rooming alone, you volunteered to host in your room. Morgan had arrived at your hotel room with two bottles of some sort of liquor, one clear and one amber, JJ trailing in toe with your bottle of red wine you had asked for. You pulled out your little corkscrew with the face of an old man on it, knowing she hated his weird little face. You brought it with you on trips, just in case the occasion arose.
And it did arise as Elle suggested a drinking game. Hotch had retired early after calling Hailey to get an update on his very pregnant wife, while Gideon preferred the solitude of a good book late at night. The rest of you sat on the floor surrounded by drinks and snacks. With the supervision gone, it almost felt like a high school party with no parents. You all had all settled on a classic, never have I ever. "We haven't played this in a long time because we already know so much about each other, but it's fun when we have a newbie around," Morgan said giving you a cheeky smile and bumping your shoulder. Already pliable after the couple of drinks you had while Elle explained the game, you nodded before tipping your lips to the cusp of Spencer's ear. "I'll try not to make it too hard for you, pretty boy," you said. The small puffs of air that left your mouth made Spencer's hair stand on end and his feet curl.
He knew you were teasing him that night and he loved it. He decided to keep his knees tucked to his chest for the rest of the night as to not expose the predicament in his pants. He watched the way you lightly sucked on the wine bottle as you tipped it back, a thin river of cabernet leaking from the corner of your lips and trailing down your neck. Spencer wanted nothing more than to lean over and lap it off of you just to see how you would react, but he knew it was the drinks talking. Despite your earlier comment, it was quite obvious that you were targeting him as his head started to spin gently.
"Never have I ever had sex with someone much older than me," Garcia said through her video feed with a cheeky smirk. Derek had insisted on including her even though she wasn't physically present. She sat bundled up in a comfy blanket in her office with a mug of some sort of alcoholic beverage. "HEY! No targeting! Plus, I told you that in confidence at ladies night. How much is much older?" You said, swaying your bottle towards the computer set up on the floor."You know how much older I mean sweetheart." Garcia said with a giggle as you groaned and took a sip."How much older is much older?" Morgan said with a cocked eyebrow, somewhere between impressed and surprised." I was a college student, experimenting with my professor. Not like an old man, but he was 20 years older than me. Definitely not my style anymore though." You said with a grimace remembering him.
Spencer had learned a lot about your sex life during that game, but some part inside of him smirked, knowing that the rest of the team would never know you as he knew you, not unless they too had read your journal. It was the only thing keeping his head clear of the idea of you with anyone else. Not that you were with him in any capacity, but the idea still made him feel something in his stomach. Not the sweet butterflies that came with your smile, but something more like idiotic hornets dangerously bumping against the walls of his stomach.
Spencer hadn't even noticed the uproar of everyone else around the circle at your comment and the second revelation that Morgan had drunk too. He was too busy watching how you had shyly tucked your hair behind your ear, finally letting it down out of your clips for once. You were wearing your pajamas, just a tank top, slouchy sweater, and flannel pajama pants, but somehow you looked more radiant than ever. He had come back down to earth after hearing someone call his name."Y-Yes?" He sputtered out, realizing you had been trying to get his attention."It's Morgan's turn, pay attention." You said, gently smacking your hand down on his thigh.
If he was riled up before, he was unbelievably undone at the slight sting from where your palm had just been. Light enough that it wasn't noticeable, but hard enough that it erupted a Shockwave through his body, centered on the location of the contact. He bit back the whimper threatening to escape his lips as he turned towards Morgan, trying desperately to not watch you from the corner of his eye.
"Never have I been a virgin at 24," Morgan said, beaming in his direction. Spencer took a big gulp from his glass of whiskey."You always do that one, I don't know why you think it's so funny, you're just trying to get me to drink" he said abashedly. He looked over at you, nervous for your reaction, but you seemed unfazed. "Hey, that's a wonderful gift to have, there's something so special about virgins. Maybe it's the idea that everything is new, but I like it. I love virgins." You said, taking a sip from your bottle, gently swaying. You had given up on never have I ever and just decided to drink whenever you felt like it. Maybe it was because you were tipsy, maybe it was the warm flush that decorated Spencer's cheeks, maybe it was the way he was looking at you with sultry, half-lidded eyes. You couldn't tell, but something made you want to find an excuse for you two to be alone.
"Geese, we seemed to have caught a succubus tonight." Morgan quipped."A suck-you-what now?" You said, cocking an eyebrow at him. " A succubus, it's a demon or supernatural entity in folklore, in female form, that appears in dreams to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. According to religious traditions, repeated sexual activity with a succubus can cause poor physical or mental health, even death. In modern representations, a succubus is often depicted as a beautiful seductress or enchantress, rather than as demonic or frightening." Spencer shot out. "Wow, even when you're drunk, your big brain keeps chuggin' along," you said, sloppily ruffling his hair "A beautiful seductress or enchantress, huh?" That time it came out low, inaudible to the others, but it pierced Spencer like a knife."Do you think that's accurate bout me?" you asked, staring up into his eyes, closer than you have been before. Spencer let a cartoonish gulping noise escape his lips as he held back his urge to lean into your touch.
"Ah, it's my turn," you said, leaning back into your spot in the circle and sadly, away from Spencer." Never have I ever done something naughty at our work," you said, looking straight at Spencer "I'll know if you're lying, I can sniff out a liar from a mile away," your cocky smirk leaking out of your mouth. Everyone except you and JJ took a shot."Wow, really you guys? Even you Spence? " JJ said in disbelief, looking around the circle."Never have I ever, my ass" Spencer mumbled under his breath, just loud enough for you to hear, looking over at you, thinking about your pantieless escapades.
"Look at that, Doctor Reid, you need another drink, let me go fix you one," You said as you grabbed his glass in one hand, leaning and gripping hard into his shoulder with the other. It wasn't seen by the others, but between that and the fiery look in your eyes, it sent an obvious message,' keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it for you.' You used him as leverage to get up, nearly pushing him over as you gracefully stumbled to the hotel fridge. He knew what you meant, but he didn't care, your grip on him went straight into his imagination as he envisioned what that grip would feel like in other places. He kind of wanted to push his luck, just so he could see what he had in store.
And push it he did as you handed him the glass, reminding him that it was indeed his turn to play never have I ever. "Never have I ever slept with my professor," He said, obviously targeting you with a glint of mischief in his eyes."Oh yeah, well never have I ever been a virgin at 24." You said, swaying as you sat down."Morgan already said that, dummy. Never have I ever worn stupid dark red lipstick" He retorted, equally as drunk as you. At this point everyone else had zoned you two out and were focused on other things, refreshing their drinks, counting the ceiling tiles, humming a sloppy rendition of My My Miss American Pie, or in Penelope's case, all three."Yeah, well never have I ever been a complete and utter mommas boy!" You continued, the statement turning Spencer beet red. You watched him clench and unclench his hands, you had obviously struck a nerve. Just as you were about to apologize, he cut you off. "Never have I ever had nipple piercings!" He shouted, pointing at your chest, now drawing attention to the obvious balls framing your nipples that you had once been covered by your long-forgotten sweater.
As he said it, it felt like the world went in slow motion. You could see the instant regret on his face as you dropped your bottle in surprise. It had landed on Spencers discarded whiskey glass and both shattered, wine and whiskey mixing with glass to create a slurry on the ground between them. "Fuck! You Guys!" Morgan said, "You got it all over my clothes." "Me too," Echoed Elle as they both stood up in their soaked clothes. "I think that calls it a night." JJ said, closing the laptop on the image of an already sleeping Garcia." Bye you guys, sleep well," you called after them as you and Spencer rushed around looking for towels to clean up the alcohol with.
"Ow! Son of a bitch!" Spencer cried as you dropped the last of the glass in the garbage can. As you rounded the corner, you saw Spencer pulling a rather large shard of glass that you must have missed out of his thumb, blood pooling at the tip. Without thinking, you crouched down and sucked his thumb into your mouth." A-ah! What... What are you doing!?" Spencer asked breathlessly, looking down at you with a deep hunger in his eyes. You pop off his thumb and squeeze it at the base, slowing the blood flow."Shut up," You said," This helps slow the bleeding. The sucking applies pressure. My mom used to do this for me... And no, do not psychoanalyze that." You said, wrapping your mouth around his finger, sucking to provide some pressure to slow the blood flow. You could taste the iron in your mouth, but you didn't mind, knowing you were helping your friend.
You were helping alright, helping in more ways than you would ever understand. "Yeah, like I'm the only one here with mommy issues," he said distractedly, too busy surveying your lips wrapped around him. You slapped your hand down on his thigh once more, eliciting a small whimper from him. He couldn't help it, you were a sight of beauty, you always were, but looking down on you right then, Spencer wanted to bottle that moment forever. The tops of your breasts peeking out from the top of your tank top, your eyes filled with a hazy glow, looking up at him to make sure he was ok, and your cheeks hollowing out around his thumb as you delicately sucked on his wound. It was as close as Spencer had ever gotten to anything sexual. He could feel your tongue swirling around the cut, lapping up the last couple drops of blood. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if it was another appendage and not his thumb. You sucked on his thumb one last time, harder than you had previously, and before he even knew what he was doing, his hips bucked up, rubbing his hard cock against his pajama pants, finally relieving his mounting orgasm.
You let go of his finger with a pop as your tongue trailed off of the underside of his thumb. Spencer looked anywhere but you, as a wet patch formed through his thin underwear and pajama pants. He hurried to cover it with his sweater, shooting up from his seated position."Um, Um, I'm g-gonna go shower and go to bed." He said, hurriedly scurrying over to where he had left his room key." Sorry partner, I saw Morgan accidentally grab both of your keys on the way out. He's probably asleep by now." You said languidly, leaning back to take in the sight of the soft boy in front of you. Totally flushed with heat, small beads of sweat peppering his forehead, his hands twiddling suspiciously into his sweater in an attempt to conceal crotch, trying and failing miserably to hide his rapidly cooling cum.
He whined a little, lighting a fire in you. He looked so thoroughly fucked out, and all you had done was suck his finger. You knew that you just had to play with him some more. "You know, you can use my shower, doctor." You said, and he let out a small sigh of relief, heading towards the bathroom. "There is one condition, though," You smirked coyly as he halted his motions, his body facing away from you. It was almost as if he was ready to run away at any moment. You walked over to him, slowly, taking your time to tease him. The silence hung heavy in the air as you looked up into his eyes questioningly, waiting for him to ask. "Wh-what is the condition." He said, unable to return your gaze, hands fisted in the hem of his sweater, pulling it down even further. You smirked, dipping your hands up and under his sweater, nearly brushing his spent cock before gently placing them on his bare stomach, just above his waistband. He sucked in a tight breath as you gently swirled your fingers in the short hair that lead from his belly button down to happier places." Before I ask, do you know about the color scale?" you said, fingers smoothing out over his little stomach." Um, k-kinda?" He said, heat flushing his cheeks."Green means good keep going, yellow means slow down, and red means stop right now, ok?" You said, looking up at him as he nods."Come on pretty boy, I need verbal confirmation. I need to know that you understand, got it." You said with a little pinch to his tummy. "Y-Yes, I understand!" He blurted out, standing stiff as a board." Good boy. Now, for my condition. You can shower if you show me what you're hiding." You said, leaning close enough that if Spencer breathed, your chests would meet each other. "What color, Spencer?" you said, languidly drawing lines up and down his torso with your nails."G-Green, Very green." He sputtered out, finally meeting your eyes."That's what I like to hear, sweet boy." You said before your fingers danced below his waistline, now somewhat crusty from his cum."W-wait!" He says, just as you were about to take him in your hand. You instantly stopped and looked up at him gently."We can stop here baby, it's not a problem." You said, beginning to remove your hand from his pants. He grabbed your hand through his pants, stopping your movement."It-It's not that. I don't want to stop, I just want... well..." He said and looked down shyly. "What do you want baby, anything," You smiled up at him. "Um, I haven't had my first kiss yet and I kinda... Well... I kinda..." He said, shuffling his feet, face beet red. Your eyebrows shot up quickly in surprise before letting out a gentle smile."Do you want a kiss, pretty boy?" You said, gently brushing the hair out of his face. He nodded, and you grabbed his chin, bringing him close. "Use your words, pretty boy. What do you want?" You whispered, breath gently ghosting Spencer's lips as he took you in up close. He could see every little pore and dimple of your skin and every color hidden in the depth of your eyes and he knew he needed to have you.
He shakily leaned forward, lips gently meeting yours, so light that if you hadn't seen his actions, you wouldn't have even known if you had touched. You moved your hand down to his throat, giving a light squeeze."Come on genius, use your words," you said as he whimpered. "Please, can I kiss you, please, please?" He begged, leaning into your touch, pleading for you to squeeze again. His efforts shoot straight to your heart. You indulged him in a kiss, not as spicy as the situation would permit, more of a sweet heat. He came in too hot and heavy at first, but you kissed him languidly, gently stroking his cheek to get him in the rhythm. His arms were straight out at his sides, hands clenched as if he was willing every muscle in his body to not touch you.
You let out a small laugh as you melted into his kiss, soft, puffy lips dancing across yours. "You know you can touch me," You said, pulling back, smiling at the smear of your lipstick, now staining his lips, and the endearing puppy dog eyes he was giving you. "Where can I touch you?" He whispered out as if he were telling a secret. "Wherever you want, baby. Wherever your heart desires." You replied, bringing your arms up to wrap loosely around his neck, pulling your bodies closer. He was as stiff as a board as his hands flitted around trying to find a good place to land. He finally settled on weaving his arms around your waist and up to cradle your neck, gently carding his fingers through the hair that fell at the nape of your neck. There was something so sweet in the way he cradled your body with feather-light touches as if you would disappear like smoke if he lingered too long. You reveled in the feeling of you two pressed together, slightly uncomfortable at the stiff material of his pajama pants on your stomach.
"Hey sweetheart," You said, pulling away as he chased after your lips, "I'm feeling kinda sweaty from the day, would you like to join me in the shower? What color?" "G-green, yes please." He said, tentatively pressing a kiss to your collarbone, exposed as the strap of your tank top had fallen down. You unwound from him, taking his hand delicately in your own, instantly missing the warmth his body provided.
You lead him into the bathroom, carefully stepping over the wine-soaked towels discarded on the floor before shutting the door and turning to face him. "I don't want to take this too fast for you because I know it's all very new so always tell me how you are feeling and if everything is ok. I want this to be good for you baby, ok?" You said, squeezing his hand that was still intertwined with yours. "Ok, th-thank you," He said shyly.
"Now, what do you want to do first? You're probably pretty uncomfortable in those pants, do you want me to take them off you?" You said, hooking one of your fingers into his waistband, pulling on in slightly creating a much-needed separation between his sticky cock and his uncomfortable pants."Y-Yes please" He said as you turned on the shower, allowing it to warm up in preparation for cleaning him off before turning back to him. You gently grabbed the hem of his sweater and pulled it over his head, leaving him shirtless in front of you.
Lean muscles were hidden under a layer of peachy soft skin highlighting the gentle trail of dark curly hair leading from his belly button down past his pants. His arms curled around himself as he watched your eyes carefully, ready for some sort of judgment. "I know I'm not really that s-strong or anything but I can work on it-" You cut him off with a gentle kiss right above his belly button, startling him. You looked up sweetly into his eyes and gave him a soft smile, saying "You are so beautiful, Spencer. Morgan calls you pretty boy, but he truly has no idea. I would have you no other way than you are right now."
You gently peppered his chest with feather-light kisses, making him blush. He finally understood why people liked hickeys because as you trailed down his chest, the little wine red lipstick you had left on your lips left marks trailing down his chest. Some part of him wished they were permanent, showing off to all that could see, and they would know exactly who he belonged to. You dipped your hand into his waistband, asking, "What color?" "Green, very green," he choked out as your breath ghosted across his abdomen. You looked so beautiful, kneeled on the floor in front of him, taking care of him so gently and treating him so sweetly that he could feel his cock begin to harden again.
You looked up into his eyes as you pulled his pants down. He let out a soft sigh of relief as he was uncaged from his unfortunate trouser situation. His cock flipped down out of his pants, nearly smacking you in the forehead as you looked up at it in awe. Even though it was only semi-hard, it was bigger than any you had ever seen before. Spencer looked down at you shyly "it's not that much, I-I know but I've been researching techniques to make up for it in order to give sufficient pleasure for you- I mean for whatever partners I may have, not that I am saying that I won't please you, I dream of pleasuring you! ... I'm digging myself a hole aren't I."He rambled, rubbing the back of his neck worriedly. "Spencer, you are huge. Way more than I have ever had before. See?" You said, standing up, gently lifting his cock in your hand, measuring it against your stomach.
Maybe Spencer hadn't noticed because it was proportionate to his body and his big hands, but being held in your petite hands and measured against your stomach, he finally did see how much he would fill you up. The tip of his dick just barely reached past the gems that decorated your belly button piercing. "W-Woah." He said growing harder at the thought of pushing so deep into you. He looked up to your face, which was preoccupied with looking down at how far he would reach up in you.
Tearing your eyes away from him and up to his own, you flushed, knowing that he had caught you staring. "What would you like me to do next?" You spoke softly. Despite being the only two in the room, you two both talked in hushed tones, worrying that anything more than that would burst the delicate bubble you two had created. "Can we match?" He said, and you instantly understood him, despite the odd vernacular. You began to slip off your shirt, but he stopped you with an arm on your shoulder. "C-Can I do it?" He said shyly. "Of course, pretty baby," you barely get out before he drifted his hands under your tank.
He slowly lifted your top over your head as he took in the soft smooth feeling of your skin against his, goosebumps pricking up wherever his fingers trailed. You stood in front of him, shirtless as he took in your form. He had imagined what your breasts would look like. Nipples always hard due to your piercings, what your jewelry would look like, but nothing could prepare him for the glimmering moonstone gems that adorned your nipples and navel. Everything matched exactly, including the delicate necklace you wore around your neck.
The only thing he liked more than the perfection of your body was the features that made you, you. Some might call them imperfections, but to Spencer, all he could see in you was beauty. The gentle bruises on your skin from tangles with unsubs, the soft stretch marks that adorned your hips like little valleys and winding rivers, the slight blemishes, and hairs. He loved it because you were the embodiment of the confidence he wished for in himself. While he was always nervous about his body and how others perceived him, you loved yourself for exactly who you were, and you loved him for exactly who he was.
He pulled down your pants, gently following the twist and turn of the stretch marks as they winded down your hips, making sure to kneel down to pull them all the way off of you as you delicately stepped out, gently grabbing onto his hair to keep your balance as you swayed. He moaned softly at the gentle tug of your fingers while he stared up at you in awe. You took his hand in yours, coaxing him to stand.
You both stood there, taking in each other's forms for a moment, hands still connected as if by a thread at the pinky before you spoke. "We shouldn't waste water. Let me clean you off, sweetheart." He nodded before following after you into the gentle spray of the shower, steam now filling the room. He marveled at the way that the water droplets cascaded down your body, gently running down your curves. "Come here," you said, pulling him into a gentle embrace under the hot water.
Your two bodies pressed gently together, and Spencer couldn't help but think that you were molded for each other. Not in the way that a sculptor may stick two unmatched pieces of clay together with slip, more like one rock that had been split by the earth finally returning together. Something about your touch felt like home as you gently cradled him under the water.
He was so enthralled in your being that he didn't notice you gently scrubbing him with a washcloth until the scent of your body wash permeated the air. You gently scrubbed his back, washing off the sweat of the day and replacing it with you. He melted into you as your hands reached up, lathering his hair with shampoo. He wasn't sure if it was because he realized you should probably be getting washed too or because he desperately wanted to ride his hands along the planes of your body, but he decided to lather up his hands and wash you as well. "You are such a good boy. Thank you for cleaning me up" You said, resting your head gently on his chest, softly swirling the soap around his back, now finished scrubbing all you could from that angle, waiting to turn him around.
He moved carefully, avoiding your butt, still too nervous to touch. "Make sure you get everything, sweet boy. I like to be clean when I go to bed." You said, gently grabbing his hand and pulling it down to cup your butt. He inhales a sharp breath as he indulged in a gentle squeeze, continuing to wash you. He washed your back but his hands would occasionally drift down to your ass, growing more confident as he unknowingly rocked into you slightly with every squeeze, letting out soft keening noises.
You peeled yourself off of him as he rutted into the air, whining at the loss of friction. "Slow down, naughty boy. Bad boys don't get to touch. Are you a bad boy?" you asked as you placed a finger on the tip of his cock, swirling it in the precum pooling there despite the water's efforts to wash it off. "No, no! I'm a good boy! You're just so pretty, and you feel so good, and you smell so nice, and I wanna touch you, and I want you to touch me, please." He blurted out, looking at you with hungry eyes, begging for more friction. "Where do you want to touch me baby?" you asked as his eyes raked over your body, taking in all of his options. "I want to touch your boobies and your- your-" "My what? You can say it, naughty boy." You cut him off in his stammering. "Your pussy, I want to touch your pussy." He said, the hot water spreading the blush from his cheeks down his chest, tingeing his cock with a pretty pink hue. "What naughty words from such a pretty boy. You can touch-" he cut you off, lunging towards your body before you grabbed him by the throat, squeezing experimentally. Not too hard, not too soft. He moaned, and you felt the vibrations traveling up your hands."Let me finish what I was saying. Naughty boys don't get to touch. They get spanked." You said as he mewled." What I was going to say before I was so rudely interrupted was that you can touch, AFTER I wash you and after you finish washing me. Only after, you got it?" you said, squeezing a little tighter. "Y-yes." he croaked out. "Good boy," you replied.
You washed out the shampoo in his hair, replacing it with conditioner as he did the same for you. You squirted more soap onto your washcloth, preparing to test him. You took the washcloth in your hand, slowly working over his legs, arms, and chest, teasingly brushing over his overspent cock before returning to cleaning him. He washed you thoroughly, taking care to wash your legs before making sure your stomach and belly button piercing were thoroughly cleaned. Finally, he reached up to wash the leftover makeup off of your face. He touched you like a porcelain doll, worried that you would crack under even the slightest pressure, making you giggle. He flinched, thinking he hurt you, but you grabbed his face in your hands, delivering him a kiss that covered his face in soap.
You both stood there, laughing for a second, relishing the moment before you let out a shy smile. "You can touch my chest now, but make sure you clean my piercings carefully." He looked down at your chest, and now that he'd been given permission, he didn't really know what to do. You could see the puzzled look on his face so you grabbed one of his soapy hands in yours and brought it to your breast. He squeezed experimentally, and you let out a gentle moan. You had been keeping in your arousal to draw out his teasing, but you couldn't hold yourself back as you felt his large hands grasp around your chest and roll your nipple in his fingers.
There was a sweet dichotomy in the harshness of his grasp on your boob, coupled with the gentle twist of your nipple. It was as if he was worried to hurt your piercings, so he made up for it in his grasp. You brought the washcloth down to his cock, hard against his stomach, and began to work him. He whined at the harsh material. "I need to clean you up, baby. You still have a cummy cock. If you beg hard enough when I'm done, I will touch you." You said into his ear as he rested his head on your shoulder.
He was overstimulated, and you could tell, so you decided you wouldn't take as long as you wanted to tease him. But you would still draw it out for your own pleasure. He was bucking and mewling into you as you roughly got him off. It shot you straight to your core, the heat from the shower mixed with his grasp on you, physically and visually, had you closer than you wanted, and deep down you just wanted him to touch you.
When you deemed him clean enough you let the rag drop to the floor. "Beg" you moaned out. "Please, please touch me, I want your hand on me, that's all I want." He whined, bucking into the air. You took pity on him, grasping him with your soap-covered hand. He hissed as your soft touch replaced the rough rag and you could tell he was close. "Touch me, Spencer." You said and his hand shot to your core. His tentative moves giving way to a natural confidence. As he slipped a hand between your folds he could feel you dripping with desire. "O-Oh my god," was all he could stammer out before sinking two of his fingers into your depths, thumb circling your clit. You knew his fingers were long, and you had even fantasized about this exact moment, but nothing could prepare you for his actual length. He had said he did research but that was proven by how quickly he found your g spot and clit. You doubled over in pleasure as his fingers thoroughly fucked you out.
"Spencer, I'm so close, baby. Be a good boy and make me cum." You said, slumping against his shoulder, rubbing yourself against his hand. "Mommy, I'm cumming." He said, looking into your eyes as his body shuttered. His words ricochetted around in your brain, sending you over the edge as you cum all down his hand. You bit into his shoulder to muffle your scream, just as he matched you, cumming down your hand.
You came down from your high as Spencer nearly collapsed onto you. You took extra care in making sure he was all clean before helping him out of the shower and into a towel. He leaned against you the whole time as you got him ready for bed. You forced him to brush his teeth before dragging him to bed.
He sat at the edge, eyes bleary with sleep, taking in the events of the day. You sat behind him, gently toweling off his hair before brushing it and putting lotion on his body. He leaned into your touch, appreciating being cared for, feeling as if everything had been a dream. "C-Can I sleep here? I mean Morgan locked me out and I don't have pants and-" You cut him off with a gentle kiss."Of course, sweetheart, do you want to cuddle? It's ok if you don't or if you want this to be a one-time thing, it's all up to you, baby." You said, gently sweeping his hair out of his face as he looked up with eyes the size of dinner plates. "We can do this more than once? You'll let me? For real?" He asked. "Only if you want to sweetheart. This is all about you." You said, giving him a small smile tinged with a slight sadness. "That's not very fair, I want it to be about you too. What do you want?"
The question knocked you off guard. You're not used to people asking what you want. Usually, people just take and give none in return. The fact that Spencer Reid, your adorable virgin coworker was asking you what you wanted with such a sincere look, caused tears to prick into your eyes. "No one has asked me that in a long time," you smiled, "I would love to do this, and more again with you Spencer. Whenever you want." He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you down so you were lying next to each other on the bed. "Whenever we want" He corrected, cuddling into you.
You surveyed the bite make you left on his shoulder, running your hand over it. "Sorry for marking you up, I didn't mean to hurt you." You said softly as he blushed. "I-I was actually wondering... well... could you maybe give me a hickey? I like that you marked me." He said. You obliged him, giving him long kisses and sucks, gradually working up your force until a large purple bruise had formed on his collar bone. He was gently moaning the whole time, but you didn't want to work him up again as he had already cum twice that night and you didn't think he could handle more. He looked down at it as you pulled away, and you could see a question lingering on his mind.
"What's up?" you asked, smoothing his hair with your hand. "You said you hadn't been asked what you want in a long time, and I was wondering, well... who gave you your piercings?" he asked tentatively and you laughed." You have been reading my book too much, how many chapters have you read?" You said and he looked up at you surprised."You knew? and... well... only 3 chapters. I didn't want to pry into your private life." He said. "You just pried enough to know I want to get pierced by someone?" You asked raising an eyebrow. Before he could get an excuse out, you cut him off. "Well for a genius, you obviously didn't read it that carefully. I said I WOULD like to be pierced during sex, meaning I have not before. These are just standard piercings from a piercing shop, not a big deal, I just like the way they look." You said and he let out a sigh of relief. "Why? d'you get jealous?" you questioned him. He looked down and nodded shyly.
"I can be a lot of firsts for you but if you play your cards right, you can be a lot of firsts for me too. You already gave me a first tonight. You called me mommy. No one's done that before but it was really hot. I liked it a lot." You said matter of factly. "But that is a conversation for another day. It is 2 am and we need to be on a flight at 7:30, so let's get some sleep." You said, turning off the lights and cuddling up close to him. In a matter of seconds, you both were asleep, tangled into each other's arms, both of you feeling, for once, safe and sound.

Okay i sended my request before i finished it basicly MC died became a angel and is dating 1 of the most powerfull demon that their is then threw whine at God to become a demon (luke and simeon saw it all happen) cause they want to be with the brothers and their reasons?
They wanted to be a demon, they are gonna live their life however they want and nobody is stop them not even fucking God himself and how many people get to say they threw whine at God only 1 and thats MC *proud MC noises*🥴😁🤪
Just how would everyone react? or if you don't want to do everyone just the brothers
HELLO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE YOU /p
It's not everyday that you get to write about someone throwing wine at God.
Also, I decided to do the brothers with Simeon and Luke!
I'M SO SORRY THIS IS LATE, MY BRAIN HASN'T BEEN WORKING SO IT'S HARD TO THINK
I also went off track, if you want me to rewrite it, please tell me </3
Requests open! Please request at @local-pansexual-writer !
The brothers, Simeon, and Luke reacting to Angel MC throwing wine at God to become a demon
Warning: A little angst (MC's death) and a little vulgar language
I hope I got that right-
I also did not proof read this
Lucifer
When MC died, Lucifer already knew that they were becoming an angel.
He didn't like that but he didn't want to be selfish, so he overworked himself to not think about it.
That is until MC comes to his office, in a demon form with a proud look on their face.
Lucifer first thought he was imagining things until MC ran to him and gave him a hug while he was sitting down.
He was in shock for almost a minute but he quickly gave MC a hug, got them on his lap, and pulled them in for a kiss, not caring that he broke his composure.
But then Lucifer realized that they were a demon, what happened?
MC quickly told him the story.
"Well, being an angel wasn't so fun, I just missed you guys. So I decided to throw wine at God because he has the audacity to boss me around!"
Lucifer was very starstruck, MC threw wine... at God?
Fucking loves MC so much.
It's hard to see someone else living your dream. Marry him now.
Of course he's still concerned for MC because they did just become a demon.
Lucifer will take in the pride of having a partner who threw wine at fucking God.
He may or may not tease MC sometimes.
"You never learn do you?"
Mammon
Mammon became depressed after MC's death, they were like his other half.
Now they're probably with the angels so he'll never see them again.
He just gambled away all his money and got into more debt.
That was until Mammon came back to his room and seeing MC sitting on his bed, waving at him.
Didn't even think for a minute and ran to them, hugging and kissing them while they both sunk on the bed.
But after they stand up from the bed, he finally starts thinking and is confused on how they're in the Devildom.
MC tells him the story while having a proud face.
"I threw wine at God! I just want to be free and not follow so many rules."
Starts laughing nonstop, imagining his Father's face.
Ruffles MC's hair.
"I'm proud of ya!"
Leviathan
When MC died, he would not get out of his room.
Games and anime abandoned because they somehow remind him of MC.
His brothers needed to force him to eat and get some fresh air.
While he was ranting to Henry, MC bursts into his room.
Levi was SHOOK and was a little frightened thinking that it was one of his brothers to force him out until he heard their voice.
"I'm back!~"
Levi never got up so fast and ran to MC, hugging them hard.
His awkward attitude got thrown out the window, he was just relieved to see MC again.
That was until he remembered they were in the Devildom, he has lots of questions.
MC excitedly told him what happened.
"Well, I was starting to get bored and tired as an angel so I decided to throw wine at God!"
Needed a minute to comprehend it but when he did, he started laughing.
Wishes MC got a picture of it.
"I wish I had your confidence!"
Satan
When MC died, he really didn't know what to do.
Satan tried reading books but it was hard when there's a slight comparison to MC.
He tried going to cat cafes but it just reminded him of MC.
Satan was cleaning a classroom when someone hugged him from behind.
He quickly turned around, ready to push them away until he saw it was MC.
Quickly hugs and kisses MC, he's really excited to see them back and already starts thinking of date plans.
Until he realizes that MC was in their demon form, weren't they suppose to be an angel?
MC's face lights up and quickly tells him.
"God was giving me a lot of orders to do so I decided to throw wine at him!"
Takes a minute to process.
But then Satan starts laughing and pats their head.
Secretly, he was REAL proud of them. I mean, God did kill his sister right?
New date idea: Drinking wine.
"You will always be a troublemaker, won't you?"
Asmodeus
Starts going out to parties less and less after MC's death.
Asmo tries to keep up with appearance but it feels like a chore.
He'll sulk around his room, trying to think that MC is happy in the Celestial Realm.
Until someone kicks open his door. Asmo is ready to scold one of his brothers (Mammon) but his words get stuck in his throat when he sees MC.
They both run to each other and Asmo will hug h a r d that MC needs to ask to breathe.
MC only gets 1 second to breathe until they get attacked with kisses all around their face.
Asmo only realizes that MC is a demon when he remembers why he was sulking around.
MC excitedly tells him the story.
"I threw wine at God! You should've seen his face!"
H u h . . H U H
Kind of worried? I mean, MC did throw wine at GOD.
But that was kind of hot of MC?
That's one of his reasons on why he loves MC, they're fearless! It's kind of a problem sometimes
Though, Asmo is disappointed you didn't take any pictures. He could've posted it on Devilgram!
"You're so fearless!~ But I think we should set up on some boundaries..."
Beelzebub
Didn't eat a lot after MC died, even if his stomach growled REALLY loud.
His brothers forced him to eat because it was too loud.
Everyone was concerned for him.
While he was sitting at the dining table, looking at his plate of food, until he heard MC's voice.
"You're not gonna eat that?"
Never hugged someone so fast.
Even if he hugged MC fast, he was still surprised to see them.
Weren't they suppose to be in the Celestial Realm?
"Oh yeah... The Celestial Realm... Well I threw wine at God so I could come back here! He was kind of a bitch too..."
W-What
Yeah he was happy that MC was back with him but throwing WINE at GOD?
Worry chuckle.
He's also kind of proud though?
God deserved that honestly.
"You should be more careful MC... But since you're back, how about we eat? I'm hungry..."
Belphegor
Would not stop sleeping.
But even in his sleep, he felt cold, no matter how many blankets.
Belphie was used to MC's warmth.
On some nights he can't sleep, he tries to hold one of MC's favorite plushies.
While sleeping, he suddenly woke up because he felt a familiar warmth.
Quickly opened his eyes to see MC grinning at him.
Belphie became WOKE and hugged them tightly.
But then he realized, slowly but surely, that they aren't an angel.
MC told him the story.
"Well... I threw wine at God because he's so bossy. I just wanted freedom, y'know? You should've seen his face!
Belphie being Belphie, broke out laughing.
Is PROUD of MC.
Belphie kept imagining God's face, he wishes MC took a picture, he would've made it his lockscreen and laugh at it.
"Good job MC! I wish I could do that too!"
Simeon and Luke
(Writing them together)
What did they just watch?
Simeon and Luke saw how angry MC was to be in the Celestial Realm but didn't think they would throw WINE AT GOD.
Luke quickly brings napkins to God while Simeon calms MC down.
They are both thinking "Is this a dream??"
Didn't think MC would have that AUDACITY.
Simeon and Luke visit MC in the Devildom.
"Why would you do that! That was really unreasonable of you MC! Good thing we were there to calm God down!" Luke yelled out of concern.
"MC, you shouldn't pull stunts like that." said Simeon, also concerned.
"Serves him right! Shouldn't have been so bossy with me." Huffs MC.
In the end, Simeon and Luke are happy that MC is okay.
***
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONGGGG

nice receive [miya atsumu x fem!reader]
Tumblr media
genre: fluff and (once again, a sad attempt at) humor
word count: 3.8k
summary: eight months into your relationship, atsumu takes you to meet his family. things don't go as planned, but of course, everything ends up alright in the end anyway. alternatively, miya atsumu adores you and his family thinks it's easy to see why.
warnings: uhhh implied sexual content at the end but it is like barely there ok
commission for @ muppetz (it wont let me tag for some reason ugh) thank you so much for commissioning me!
a/n: this ended up being way longer than the word count requested but that’s no one’s fault but my own because i dont know when to shut the FUCK up anyways i hope this one shot is enjoyable lol
content under the cut!
You literally never thought that you would ever end up in this situation.
"C'mon babe, why the long face? Ya nervous or somethin'?"
"No." You purse your lips, huffily averting your gaze from your boyfriend's smirking face.
"Ya don't needa be like that." Atsumu drapes an arm across your shoulder, pecking your forehead as a sort of reassurance. "No one could ever hate this cute face, after all." He accentuates his words by squishing your cheeks, drawing out a yelp of protest from you.
"If you keep talking like this, you're gonna jinx it, you know." Your words come out softer and more hesitant than intended, and you startled even yourself at how utterly anxious you sound.
"Yer gonna be fine. Trust me, I wouldn’t take just any random girl to meet my folks, and they’re well aware of that." Atsumu ruffles your hair.
"I just... I hope they're not..." You pause for a moment, trying to find the right word. "...Disappointed?" You grimace when your boyfriend suddenly throws his head back in such voracious laughter, that you swear you saw a few hysterical tears.
"Are ya jokin'?" he all but wheezes. "Yer the libero for the national volleyball team, for God's sake. If anythin', I'd be the disappointment here."
"'Tsumu — " you start, but he interrupts you by pulling you in for a comforting hug.
"Don't worry yer pretty head anymore, got it?" he murmurs into your ear. "Yer wonderful, and I couldn't be luckier to have ya. My parents are gonna love ya. Honest."
A small smile tugs at your lips as you reach around his back to hug him back. "I hope so."
A year ago, if someone had told you that you would end up having Miya Atsumu introduce you to his family as his girlfriend, you would've laughed until your ass fell off and your stomach ached like no tomorrow.
You had been absolutely overjoyed when you were chosen for the women's national volleyball team, and you were so eager to start playing with your new teammates that you had decided to attend the national team's training camp without hesitation despite your recent knee injury at the time. However, you completely overlooked the fact that you would be working with the men's team as well, which would've been completely fine... if not for Miya Atsumu.
When you first met Atsumu, he was the cocky, annoying little shit of a setter for the Japanese men's national volleyball team, someone who you were stuck training with for the next two weeks.
You still remember the first words he ever spoke to you.
"The hell are ya doin' there, lil libero? If yer not gonna be able to save the easiest ones, then ya might as well sub out."
You also remember the first thought you had about him.
'Prick.'
And the first words you spoke to him.
"Can't you look at this — " You had gestured angrily to the knee brace supporting you. "And take a fucking hint, or what?"
He had sent some unapologetic, biting words right back at you and that marked the beginning of the time you have had the utmost pleasure of knowing Miya Atsumu. The two of you had bickered rather relentlessly (not too unlike literal children, despite the both of you being well into your twenties) throughout the rest of the camp, and by the end, for some unknown reason through some unknown method, he ended up with your number.
He started texting you constantly, and as much as you tried to convince your foolish self that he was just a nuisance, you found yourself responding to his messages like an idiot anyway. Throughout the next few months, you learned that Atsumu was far more than just his overly confident demeanor; he's genuinely kind-hearted, down-to-earth, and actually kinda hilarious. And eventually — neither of you quite knew how — the two of you were staring across a table at each other in a fancy restaurant as if daring the other to blink and lose an unspoken game, on a first date that neither of you thought would go as well as it did.
A little over eight months into your happy and committed relationship, Atsumu suggested that the two of you go to his hometown in Hyogo for a weekend to visit his family. You had immediately agreed with his idea, excited to meet his parents and twin brother in person, but now that he's leading you out of your shared hotel room to go do just that, your stomach's knotting uncomfortably.
Atsumu's been nothing but supportive and comforting ever since you started showing that you're nervous to meet his family. He was always happy to provide a never-ending flow of cheesy words and warm hugs, but you're genuinely afraid of embarrassing yourself. You want to impress his family and not have them see you as undeserving of their son, who you truly care for from the bottom of your heart. Atsumu is your first long-term boyfriend, and you would jump off your roof if you managed to mess anything up during the visit to his folks.
The taxi ride to Atsumu's childhood home doesn't do much to soothe your nerves either, with you fiddling with your fingers the entire way through while Atsumu makes small talk with the driver. As the cab pulls up to the address that your boyfriend had provided earlier, you instinctively clench your fists so hard that you think you might bleed.
A look of alarm crosses Atsumu's face as he notices that you're still just as anxious as you were when you left the hotel earlier. He thought that the ride to his parents' house would give you some time to cool down, but that had clearly not been the case. His eyebrows furrow in concern as he reaches over to grab one of your hands in his, giving you a comforting squeeze.
"Just breathe, darlin'." He runs his thumb over the shallow nail marks embedded in your skin. "If it means anything to ya, my mom's a huge fan of yers. For real. I didn't tell ya this before, but she's especially excited to meet ya. Keeps yappin' to me askin' how I pulled ya." You flush.
"R-Really?" you stammer, wide-eyed.
"Really. Who wouldn't be a fan yers?" Atsumu grins, pecking your nose. "See, ya got nothin' to be worried about. Just chill out and be yerself, 'kay?" You nod, some of the tension releasing from your shoulders as Atsumu leads you out of the cab, hand still clutching yours.
You're feeling a little better now, though your thoughts are still running through your head at the pace of a mile a minute as you watch Atsumu pay the taxi driver and thank him for the ride. Atsumu's mother is my fan? Your ears start to heat up. I hope I can somehow live up to her expectations of me…
“Ma! We’re here!” Atsumu shouts at the top of lungs approximately one second after simultaneously ringing the doorbell and obnoxiously pounding on the door.
“Comin’, comin’, ya brat!” A feminine, yet strong voice hollers in return. You freeze on the spot, your mind going blank once again. It’s happening. It’s finally happening.
The door aggressively swings open, revealing a middle-aged woman wearing a pink apron and carrying a wooden spatula in her hand. Her dark hair is pulled into a bun away from her face and her eyes, the same chocolate brown as Atsumu’s, are gleaming with annoyance. She briefly glares at Atsumu for his rowdy entrance before her gaze catches onto you, and her entire face lights up with excitement.
“(L/N) (Y/N)! It’s so nice to finally meet you!”
“M-Mrs. Miya,” you stammer out, trying your best to smile but you’re sure it looked more like a wince. “It’s good to m-meet you t-too.”
"Aw, hey now. What happened to my feisty girl? It's not like ya to be so lame.” Atsumu lays his forearm on your head, effectively using you as an armrest. You jerk away, scowling.
“Shut the hell up, asshat,” you snap without thinking. About half a second later, regret slams into your body like a truck. Oh, shit. I just called my boyfriend an asshat in front of his mother. You were about to run off into the streets in utter embarrassment if not for Mrs. Miya letting out a hearty laugh way too similar to her son’s and linking arms with you.
“No need to look so scared, dear. I don’t bite. And it’s good to see that yer willin’ to put this brat in his place.”
“Ma!” Atsumu whines, pouting petulantly.
“Yer really losin’ out with him though, y’know,” Mrs. Miya whispers to you as she leads you into the house by your arm. “I’ve got another son; Atsumu’s twin. Osamu’s quite well-behaved. If yer just likin’ the looks, he would be the better option.” You can tell she’s joking by the merry twinkle in her eyes, but instead of humoring her you end up shaking your head with a quiet chuckle.
“I think Atsumu’s perfectly good for me.” The two of you pause to watch Atsumu practically sprint into the kitchen, and a few moments later there’s an agitated yell as proof that he was on his way to annoy his brother. You smile. “He makes me really happy, Mrs. Miya. You raised him well.”
“Aren’t ya just the sweetest thing?” Mrs. Miya coos at you, pinching your left cheek. “And so pretty too. I swear ya could probably clobber my brat at volleyball as well. You and yer teammate… ah, Miss Amanai? The two of you always caught my eye while I watched yer matches. Make sure ya let her know.”
You blush a little and thank her, making a mental note to tell Kanoka that. She’d probably find it extremely amusing, especially since she was the one who had given Atsumu your number in the first place (which, as you had found out months later, was because he had practically groveled at her feet multiple times. Dumbass.)
“Come meet my husband, (Y/N).” Mrs. Miya leads you into the living room, where an older, balding man with rimmed glasses is quietly flipping through a book. He gives a start upon hearing your entrance, clearing his throat and sitting up straight.
“Ah, hello!” Mr. Miya greets you. “I’ve heard a lot about you! From both Atsumu and the missus.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Miya.” You nod once in a respectful manner.
“It’s about time that he settled down with a nice girl. Make sure ya keep him in line though, got it, missy?”
“Of course I w — “ you start, but Mrs. Miya is already dragging you towards the kitchen. You smile apologetically at Mr. Miya, and he just laughs and waves.
“Osamu’s makin’ dinner right now. He is such a hardworkin’ and dedicated boy. Both of them are, really,” she rambles. “But Osamu sure can cook a mean meal. He and his twin always used to fight over who’s the better cook. But I betcha Atsumu hasn’t touched the stove since he left for university years ago.”
You debate telling her that Atsumu had made quite a decent meal for the two of you just last week to celebrate your eight-month anniversary (which you hadn’t even known he remembered), but before you can formulate the right words in your head you’re suddenly shoved in the path of an unfamiliar man. Well, not really unfamiliar. He has the same face as the boyfriend who you see every day, after all.
Miya Osamu is (as expected) the literal carbon copy of Atsumu; same strong eyebrows, same hooded eyes, same angular jawline. The only thing that easily sets them apart is his black, ruffled mess of hair in stark contrast with your boyfriend’s bleached blonde.
Mrs. Miya pulls Atsumu away from the two of you, demanding that he help her with some mundane task, leaving you and Osamu by yourselves in the kitchen.
An easy smile graces his lips as he sticks out his hand. “Hey, I’m Osamu. Honored to finally meet the famous (L/N) (Y/N).” You smile back, gripping his hand firmly and shaking.
“And I’m honored to meet the famous ‘Samu.” At your words, Osamu bursts out laughing.
“Man, I don’t really let a lot of people call me that, y’know? But if yer gonna be part of the family, you could be an exception.”
“F-Family?” You pause, your sudden confidence dissipating as fast as it had come.
“Naw, no pressure. Just sayin’.” Osamu casually continues with his task of shaping onigiri. “I can tell he really likes ya.” You raise your eyebrows in curiosity without entirely meaning to. “I mean, we’re twins, it’s like a sixth sense. And also he never shuts up about ya when we text or call.”
“I hope you’re hearing all good things?” you quip jokingly.
“Oh, for sure. If I didn’t know who you were I’d think that he’s talkin’ about the reincarnation of a goddess with the way he talks.”
“Seriously?” You snort, and Osamu just laughs.
“So I’d like to ask ya the favor of continuin’ to take care of him. Guy’s just a huge ass baby. I can obviously see that yer good for him, though. He wouldn’t have stayed for so long if he wasn’t serious.”
The two of you briefly glance at Atsumu helping his mother set the table. They’re currently debating over whether Atsumu should go back to his natural hair color and “Stop makin’ yer hair look like fuckin’ straw!”
“He is a huge ass baby,” you start seriously, causing Osamu to smirk. “But he’s an honest and good person, so I’m not too bothered. I’ll take care of him, promise.”
“Thanks.” Osamu sighs, glancing rather fondly in his brother’s direction. “He’s an asshole, but at least he’s a redeemable asshole. I’m glad he’s finally got someone around to take care of him. Makes us all feel a little more relieved since he’s away from home.”
You suddenly feel warm inside.
Atsumu had been right; you truly didn’t have anything to be afraid of. The Miyas have been nothing but kind and welcoming so far, and they even seem to already have a positive opinion of you.
“Can ya help me carry these to the table?” Osamu holds out a plate of freshly-made onigiri.
“Ah, sure!” you accept hurriedly, taking the plate from him with careful hands. You take slow, calculated steps towards the dining room; the last thing you want is to accidentally drop any of the food.
Atsumu and his parents are already waiting in the dining room, and they all look up at you expectantly as you approach them with the onigiri plate in hand.
“Why, thank you, dear!” Mrs. Miya chirps. “Helpin’ Osamu out! How sweet of ya — “
She’s cut off as disaster strikes.
You trip on your last step to the table, causing a single onigiri to tumble off the plate and towards the floor. Your mouth drops open wide as you practically slam the plate down on the table and in practical slow-motion, watch the onigiri plummet down, down, down —
Then you dive.
You dive towards the floor, in the same manner as you do when you’re digging for a volleyball.
And you catch the rice ball in one hand, laying flat on your stomach. You have a moment of mental celebration; yes, you caught the onigiri! Then you realize that you look like a fucking idiot as you lay face down with one hand extended and clutching a rice ball like it’s your lifeline.
There’s a few seconds of agonizing silence.
You want the earth to swallow you whole.
There’s no way that you could ever show your face in front of Atsumu’s family or even Atsumu himself now; God you’ve never been more embarrassed in your life, and over an onigiri too —
“Nice receive!” Atsumu suddenly bellows, clapping his hands boisterously. “(L/N) does it again!”
His brother, who’s standing a few feet behind you with a platter of chicken skewers, pumps his free fist into the air and joins in with a “Hell yeah!”
Mr. Miya starts laughing the same loud Miya laugh that you’ve heard way too many times today, and his sons soon follow suit. Shame is still flooding your body, but now you’re realizing just how ridiculous the whole situation is and you resist the urge to smile at your own stupidity. As soon as Mrs. Miya recovers from her initial surprise, she comes to help you up, and you can tell that she’s doing her best not to laugh as well.
“Are ya okay, dear?” she briefly inspects you for any sign of injury.
“All good here, Mrs. Miya.” You smile, genuinely and comfortably, as Atsumu comes behind you to wrap his arms around you and peck your cheek, still chuckling with a small note of pride. “All good.”
-
“See?” Atsumu’s smug as hell as the two of you enter the hotel elevator on your way up to your room. Osamu had dropped you off so there would be no need for another cab. “I told ya that they’d fuckin’ love ya.”
“Why’re you rubbing in something like this?” You scoff, dodging when he tries to pull you into a crushing hug.
“Because I was right.” He smirks. You roll your eyes to heaven.
“Well, you can’t blame me for being nervous! I still can’t believe that none of them got upset at me for diving for a rice ball at the dinner table.” You groan, hiding your face in your hands.
“Nah, why the hell would they? It was cool. Yer cool, Miss National Team Libero.” He laughs, reaching for you again and this time you let him bring you close to him. “Besides, like I said before, who could ever resist yer pretty lil face?”
“You’re a hopeless asshole.” You sigh, and Atsumu of course just chuckles, his laughter vibrating against your ear as you press yourself into his chest.
“I’m yer hopeless asshole.” He pecks the top of your head. “C’mon, babe. It’s our floor.”
You hadn’t realized how tired you are until the two of you enter your hotel room and you see the large, inviting bed. You practically jump onto it, burying your face into a pillow. “Goodnight…” you mumble sleepily.
“Ya gotta go shower and brush yer teeth first, idiot.” A pillow smacks you in the side of the head, and you leap up with a cry of surprise. “Damn, don’t be so loud, sweetheart. It’s late, y’know. Don’t wanna get a noise complaint like last night.” You turn bright red at the reminder.
“Shut u-up,” you retort. “I told you that we shouldn’t have tried to do it on the balcony.”
“It was fun, though, y’know! An experience. And ya sounded like you were enjoyin’ it, anyway.” He chucks another pillow at you, and you yelp as it nails you in the face. “Now get yer cute ass over here, we’re gonna shower.”
“You can’t make me.” You stubbornly lay back down and close your eyes, and you had peace for all but ten seconds before Atsumu’s plucking you off the bed and settling you into his arms bridal-style. Your eyes shoot open in shock and you flail desperately. “Put me down!”
“No can do. I’m not sleepin’ next to yer stinky self tonight, darlin’.” Atsumu laughs as you scowl.
“The floor’s always open for you,” you snap.
“Aw, yer no fun.” He steals a kiss from you in the blink of an eye; the only evidence of there being contact at all is a tingling feeling on your lips. You feel your heart melt just a little more.
“Fine. After we shower, we go straight to bed. Got it?”
“ And brush our teeth. Yer mornin’ breath is bad enough.” He lets out quite an unpleasant squawk when you smack him lightly in the shoulder. “Alright, sorry, sorry.”
“Is this just your excuse to see me naked?” you tease him as he sets you down on the bathroom counter before immediately removing his shirt to reveal his muscled torso. He grins wolfishly at you and shrugs.
“And if it is?” Atsumu’s eyes are zeroed in on the small hickey he had left right below your collarbone last night, which is now visible thanks to the way your shirt had rumpled after he had practically manhandled you into the bathroom.
“Well, I won’t complain.” You follow his gaze down to your neck, before glancing back up to meet his eyes and raise an eyebrow at him. “If you’re going to make it worth my time.”
About an hour later, the two of you are lying in bed together, effectively tuckered out and finally ready to sleep. Atsumu’s strong arms are wrapped tightly around you like a protective cocoon as you snuggle your face against his chest. The slow, steady rhythm of his heartbeat rocks you towards dreamland, and all the worries from the past day are slipping away.
“Hey, ‘Tsumu,” you mumble against his chest. He grunts tiredly.
“Yeah, sweetheart?”
There’s a small silence.
“...Thanks,” you finally say after a beat.
“Huh? For what?” he quips.
“For being patient with me today, even though I was so nervous. And for taking me to meet your family.” You crane your head to look up at him, contentment adorning your features. “I had a good time. I hope they don’t hate the idea of me coming around again sometime.”
Atsumu smiles that familiar smile, the smile filled with affection that others rarely get to see. His eyes are almost half-mooned with joy, his lips are curved up in genuine adoration, and his cheeks are flushed with color. You saw this smile for the first time when he set an incredibly low ball at training camp, earning the awe of everyone in the room, including yourself. Never did you think that you would ever have this expression of pure love aimed at you, nor did you think it would fill you with so much happiness every time you had the blessing of seeing it. He says nothing for a while, suddenly resorting to trailing kisses all over your face. You let him, closing your eyes peacefully as he showers you with his love, ending with one final peck to your nose.
“I'm sure they'd like to have you around again.”
And if Atsumu continues playing his cards right, he thinks there might be a possibility that in the next five or so years, you could truly become part of the family with a glittering ring on your finger.
Only time will tell if that possibility will ever come to fruition, but as you tilt your head up to give him one last kiss on the lips and whisper those three words to him, he knows for sure that he wants to continue building towards that future with you.
“I love you too.” He lets his eyes fall shut as well, before resting his chin atop your head and savoring the warmth of your body against his.
Only time will tell.

Let's Talk About NatsuMikan: Natsume (pt. 12)
Oof, the long-awaited Christmas Ball arc has finally arrived! Let's get into it!
What does it look like to see Natsume at his most selfish? One needs only to look at Chapter Fifty.
Tumblr media
Chapter Forty-Eight
The Christmas Ball is finally here!
Natsume has to begin the ball just like he has to begin the festival, sitting on stage with the other Principal students, as if he’s some kind of representative. When he catches Mikan looking at him, he sticks his tongue out at her, and she’s taken aback and offended, but he’s trying to be cute. When Natsume is around Mikan, they always bicker and argue. She’s someone he can argue with, something he can’t do with most people. He can’t argue with the people in the DA class because he’ll get punished. He can’t argue with Ruka because he already causes him enough stress. With Mikan, none of the arguments are deep. She forgives and forgets easily, and he can act freely act like a little kid. In the last chapter, even, he smiles at her when they’re in the midst of an argument, because just the freedom of being able to bicker makes him happy.
Tumblr media
He's trying to be cute, so go easy on him, Mikan.
He sticks his tongue out at her, acting silly and childish, because she’s special and he can act silly and childish around her.
For most of the ball, Natsume is content to sit in the tree, minding his own business and keeping away from the commotion. He does notice Mikan, though, because he always does, when she acts as Trash Santa to help Youichi play with Mr. Bear. He doesn’t say anything, and he’s only present for a couple panels, but it’s obvious she stands out to him.
Chapter Forty-Nine
Natsume is eating a good piece of cake when he meets with Ruka, who is overcome with guilt for kissing Mikan on the cheek a few minutes ago. Ruka knows that Natsume likes Mikan too, but he doesn’t understand that Natsume has jumped that ship before it could even leave the dock. Natsume gets that Ruka is conflicted about something, so he playfully squeezes Ruka’s nose to assure him in his own way. Natsume’s love language is physical touch even if it is awkward, whether it’s ruffling Ruka’s hair or squeezing his nose. That’s how he comforts people, particularly Ruka.
It apparently does make Ruka feel better, because when he next sees Mikan, he doesn’t freak out like she does. He’s calmed down a bit, isn’t quite as guilty. So he does his own version of what Natsume did for him at the alice festival closing dance. He gets Mikan to dance with Natsume. It’s his way of evening the score, giving Natsume the same chance he got. Either he doesn’t understand that Natsume isn’t playing the game at all, or he’s trying to convince him to start.
He walks away and Natsume and Mikan are left standing there without their masks. There’s a moment of awkwardness, where they stand around and don’t say anything, but Natsume has a moment of resolve. He takes her hand and pulls her close. It starts off proper and gentle, like a dance is supposed to be. They dance and Natsume notices that Mikan is not happy to be with him at all. She’s quiet and frowning. He’s seen her smile while dancing before, because she always catches his eye, so he knows she’s capable of it. She’s danced with Ruka, Tsubasa, Narumi, and all sorts of people, and she’s had a big grin on her face for all of it. For some reason, that smile is absent when her partner is Natsume.
Natsume got upset and hurt when Mikan said she would never want to dance the last dance with him. He’s hurt now that she seems so reluctant to dance with him in a zero-stakes dance at the Christmas Ball. He will be hurt in the future too, because he has a low self esteem. This girl that he likes may see him as a friend, but she gets so uneasy around him, and only him. Natsume thinks he cares so much more about her than she does about him, and it’s moments like these where he gets the feeling more than ever, and it hurts. He thinks it’s a given. He’s helped make it happen on purpose. But he still wishes deep down that it wasn’t that way.
Tumblr media
He's doing everything right and she's still upset to dance with him! What's her deal? (heheheh)
And so he argues with her. Why isn’t she smiling with him, huh? He’s doing it all right, the way he’s supposed to. He’s dancing normally and she seems to hate it. He turns to insults because it’s his most reliable technique, and suddenly Mikan is energetic.
To avoid making a scene, they bicker and insult each other under their breaths, dancing just the same as they had before, but with a new aura around them. He twirls her and she’s smiling now. And his eyes get soft, because that’s all he wanted. One moment of selfishness for him to keep in his memories, where they danced and she actually liked it.
The moment ends when they get shoved and fall over, Mikan landing with her teeth on Natsume’s lip.
They’re both tense and uncomfortable with what just happened in front of so many people. Natsume hates that he tripped in front of everybody, so his mood has suddenly soured. If this had been a proper kiss, he wouldn’t have gotten so angry, and he won’t, spoiler alert. He was actually having a nice time, only for the moment to be so abruptly stolen from him. He fell down and now his lip is bleeding. Her teeth hitting his mouth also could be the closest he’ll ever get to a kiss with Mikan, and she looks horrified. Being under so many watchful eyes, all nervous about what’s about to happen. He has very few options, really. He can walk away, or he can cause upset. Natsume isn’t in the mood to run away, since he’s already embarrassed himself by tripping, so he tells her that she’s bad at dancing and kissing, even though he obviously very much likes dancing with her.
Tumblr media
He is a problem child.
Chapter Fifty
Mikan is enraged that he had the audacity to call what happened a kiss. There’s also the trouble of Ruka, who had been nice and arranged for them to dance in the first place, only for this to happen.
Now it’s Natsume’s turn to feel guilty. It was an accident, of course, but Natsume already messed up by calling it a kiss, so now Ruka is upset. The only thing he can say to comfort his friend is to downplay it, acting as if everyone is making a big deal over nothing.
Tumblr media
Don't worry about it, man. It's a whatever situation.
Natsume’s admirers take that as some sort of confirmation that he’s the man, probably going around kissing all the time. This really meant nothing, because it’s just one kiss of many. It’s far from the truth: Natsume has never kissed anybody before. This kiss doesn’t mean anything only because it was an accident.
Natsume escapes. He feels horrible for hurting Ruka, and probably let down that the teeth-kiss is the closest he’ll ever get to the real thing, least of all with Mikan. He stays in his tree, safe and isolated, alone with his thoughts. He has no intention of returning to the party.
In fact, it’s Mikan who finds him, when she climbs up the tree to find someone to comfort her. She’s looking for Tsubasa or Hotaru or Ruka or Iinchou. Not him. She admits that she’s just settling for him (or at least that’s the way it comes off in the TokyoPop version), and not being one of the people she can count on is something that he sadly resigns himself to.
Still, even if she’s only venting to him because there’s nobody else around, he listens to her whole story.
Just like with the Christmas Ball prep, he insults her and it somehow works. The worry leaves her face and she grins.
Tumblr media
Forgive me. These scans leave much to be desired. Apologies.
Natsume is a bit preoccupied. He’s had some time to think and he has a lot on his mind, so he reminds her that she was angry at him just a bit ago, reviving her rage. It’s short-lived, though, because then he asks what happened between her and Ruka. Mikan shuts down, then tries to change the subject, mentioning all the gossip about his many kisses, suggesting Natsume talk about himself before demanding to know other people’s business, which leads him to the conclusion that she’d kissed Ruka.
They argue a bit more, but then she insists that the accident before didn’t count as a kiss, so he decides to fix that.
Natsume’s selfish acts are still in the single-digits, but this belongs on the shortest list in the world. Keep in mind that Natsume is convinced that Mikan and Ruka kissed already. They did, but that was a cheek kiss, and not on the same level. He has no idea. They’re arguing, so it won’t seem romantic or mushy at all, especially when compared to whatever Ruka surely did (though he did not do anything at all, in fact) and she won’t get the wrong (right) idea. It seems like a low-consequence move, like something he could do, so that he could have it for the rest of his life and then die with it. He doesn’t dare assume it’ll mean something to her.
He pulls her into a kiss, in any case.
She pushes him away, gasping for breath.
He explains that he did it because she said it wasn’t real before. An easy excuse. Then he muses, “So that’s what kissing is like…” and essentially answers her question from earlier, about all the rumors that he has plenty of experience kissing. He says it’s no big deal and then jumps from the tree.
Tumblr media
"Wow! That sucked! Let's do more of this next year!"
To him, it is a big deal.
He says things aren’t a big deal when he wishes he could do them, like competing in the alice festival and now with kissing. Things are a big fuss over nothing when he can’t do them but wants to. Just like the alice festival, this is something he can’t look forward to. This is done, and it’ll probably--definitely--never happen again. Being selfish once is one thing. He wouldn’t do that to Ruka.
Downplaying it is supposed to comfort her. It’s no big deal after all, so she can just move on and keep kissing Ruka, which she probably prefers anyway. It obviously meant a lot to him, since in about a year he’d ask for more and more kisses, but for now, he’s content with one. It’s all he can ask for, and all he needs. Just one kiss, to know what it’s like to kiss the girl he loves. And now he’s done.
His post-kiss behavior is all for her sake, acting casual and blase about it so that she doesn’t catch on that it meant something more to him. “Huh, whatever,” is an easier kiss to get over than a romantic and sappy one, in his mind.
Besides, she’s not like him. It’s not like she’s never kissed somebody before.
Chapter Fifty-One
It’s post-Christmas cleaning day in Class B and the kids are gathering in a circle to tell scary stories on their lunch break. Koko calls Natsume over to make a demon fire for the atmosphere. Ruka and Natsume catch Mikan’s gaze and she runs to avoid them both.
She’s an anxious mess because of the Christmas Ball, unable to look either of them in the eye.
Natsume and Ruka both join the group anyway, and once Mikan is thoroughly spooked, Natsume scares her even more with Yo-chan’s help. It’s not that he wants her to suffer, but he wants to seem as unaffected as possible. See, he’s right back to normal, so there’s nothing to worry about. She doesn’t need to freak out about what happened, because ultimately, nothing happened. It was no big deal, a big fuss over nothing.
Jinno then separates the class into smaller cleaning groups, and Mikan is stuck with Natsume and Ruka. She’s awkward and anxious, Ruka’s embarrassed and doesn’t know what to say, and Natsume’s not the type to talk much anyway.
He isn’t really the kind of person who fixes things, but it’s on him now, because the other two sure as hell won’t. So first he teases Mikan by scaring her. She gets a little upset, so he tells her to quit ignoring Ruka. He makes it about Ruka, because he’s okay being the one ignored. Again, he’s never considered himself in the running for Mikan’s affections. He’s Team Ruka, all the way.
Ruka is touched, and there’s obviously no hard feelings about the accidental kiss at the ball. That doesn’t mean that they’re talking much, or that there’s no tension. They both know that something happened with the other in regards to Mikan, and broaching that topic is uncomfortable. They’ve been letting it sit for so long untouched--months even, since the very start of it all--and it’s only gotten bigger and bigger.
Before they can have an actual conversation, though, the lights go out.
They’re all sitting against the wall, Ruka and Natsume on either side of Mikan.
They’re both aware that Mikan is easily scared and that she’s particularly afraid of the dark, and so they both independently decide to hold her hand in an attempt to comfort her. Natsume remembers how afraid she’d been when they were trapped together in the haunted house, and how all she’d wanted at the time was to hold his hand, because if they’re touching, they’ll be warm and less scared.
Tumblr media
Don't overthink it, Mikan. You might figure him out.
For now, it’s not about being selfish, just being helpful, because he wants to reassure her and comfort her. He’s learning ways that he can be comforting to Mikan, that don’t necessarily involve insults and getting her mad.
But then he looks up and he and Ruka notice each other, see what the other is doing, and after all this built-up tension and awkwardness and lack of conversation, it only makes sense that…
They start laughing. They start talking, suddenly so honest, because the hardest part is over. They got to skip over the confrontation and now they can just talk about it with each other. They’ve known the truth about each other all along, but now they don’t have to pretend to hide it anymore.
And Ruka feels free to tease Natsume, and Natsume can tease Ruka, and that’s amazing too. Even before Mikan came to the academy, Natsume and Ruka had a lot left unsaid. They didn’t communicate well, and their talks never involved bickering or friendly teasing. It’s like all the tension that had accrued between them for years has suddenly lifted, and they can laugh about it now.
Tumblr media
There's so much honesty here now.
Natsume can tease that Ruka has terrible taste in women, Ruka can shoot back that that means Natsume does too, and Natsume can scold him for putting himself on his level.
If anything, this was good for their relationship. They’re in a place now where they can communicate about their feelings somewhat. Natsume is never really that emotionally open, even at his most communicative, and he’ll continue to keep his secrets, but the wall that has built between them has been more or less knocked down.
This moment doesn’t seem romantic at all to Mikan, but romance is intrinsic to their conversation. Ruka swears he won’t lose, and Natsume scoffs that he’d never intended to win in the first place.
And just like that, without even including Mikan in their conversation, everything is back to normal, or even better than normal. The Christmas Ball tensions have officially been eliminated. The feelings may still be there, but the problems are gone.
But it’s still dark and scary, and now it seems that a ghost has joined them in the hall, wielding scissors--so Ruka and Mikan run away. Natsume is not so easily spooked, so he sticks around long enough to see that the ghost in question is Nobara.
Chapter Fifty-Two
Natsume starts his conversation with Nobara by reminding her of an off-screen (off-page?) conversation, where he told her to stay away from Mikan. Nobara explains that she came to see him, because she was watching Mikan for the entire Christmas party and has something to tell him. Though it’s a bit creepy, the lengths Nobara went to in order to watch Mikan (including special opera glasses that catch sound), she says she saw something strange.
At first, Natsume thinks she’s going to mention the kiss, and he’s uncomfortable that Nobara probably knows about it. First, she’s still just as untrustworthy to him as before, because she’s loyal to Persona. That their kiss might get back to Persona could be potentially quite dangerous, and he might face serious punishment as a result. Secondly, he’s also capable of getting embarrassed, and the idea that this girl was watching when he had no idea at all, especially during such a vulnerable moment, is a little off-putting.
But Nobara isn’t talking about the kiss. She’s talking about the fact that the person who danced with Mikan and upset her by making her mask fall was probably the ESP. She tells Natsume because she’s seen the way he looks at her and she knows that he cares about her. She can even tell that Natsume forbidding her from talking to Mikan is his way of protecting her, even though she must not be a fan of such a rule. She’s a middle-schooler, and not as close to Mikan, but Natsume is in her class. He’s her partner and he cares about her, so he is the best person to have protecting her. Because he will, no questions asked.
Natsume remembers the warning he’s been given, that he should continue isolating himself or bad things will happen to his loved ones, so we can tell that he finds himself somewhat responsible for the ESP upsetting Mikan. More than that, he’s understandably concerned that this is merely the first move of many, and that the ESP will continue to antagonize her and even put her in danger, and that it would all be his fault.
In any case, Natsume is kind of stuck regarding his options.
He can go back to trying to avoid her. He was never that great at it in the first place, but it’s bound to be even harder now. But he also has to protect her, and that will be harder to do from a distance. Besides, the damage seems to have already been done. Whatever happens, he’s willing to take all the punishment in her stead, as long as she’s safe.
Conclusion
Natsume has done all he intends to do: he got a kiss from Mikan and now he'll more or less step aside. Or will he? The plot thickens! But in any case, he's up to face some serious repercussions for his actions so far, and his punishment will be any day now...
Also, sorry, I couldn't find full scans for Chapter Fifty-Two, so there's no pics. It's okay, I wouldn't have done much for it anyway, because Natsume's only around for a few pages.
Hope y'all are having a nice day! Thank you so much for reading this far!

———————————————————————
One night while yn is visiting akaashi, He gets a call from bokuto while they are eating dinner. “Hey Bokuto what's up you don't usually call like this' ', akaashi says. Yn looks over at him from where she is eating her dinner, curious as to why bokuto is calling as well. “Tell him that said hi '' yn says as she takes a bite of her dinner. “Yn says hi '' Akaashi says. “He says hi back”, Akaashi says. “You sound worried bokuto, what's wrong?'' Akaashi asks. Akaashi’s eyes widened. “Wait what, yeah we can come over what day and time? This weekend? Okay, yeah i'll bring yn over to your house with me thanks for letting me know ''. 
Akaashi hangs up the phone and sighs grimly. “Hey keiji what's up, is everything okay with Bokuto”, yn asks. Akaashi clenches his fist. “Bokuto just told me that he has to go to the hospital this week to get some test results in”. “Oh what for” yn asks. “Well It seems that the doctor that he sees thinks that bokuto could have cancer”. Yn drops her chopsticks in shock. “Wait what”, she whispers. “Is he okay”? Akaashi shrugs his shoulders and yn can tell that he is worried about Bokuto as well. “He said that he hasn't been feeling well lately and he wants us to stop by this weekend and he will tell us the results”. Yn nods. “Okay yeah I’ll definitely go with you”, yn says as worry starts to grow in her mind. Akaashi sighs. “All we can do is give him support and hope that he doesn't have cancer”. “I hope he doesn't”, yn whispers. Akaashi sighs. “I hope he doesn't have it either”. 
That weekend yn and akaashi head over to Bokuto’s house to see what the results of the tests he had done are. “Do you think he is going to be okay, yn asks worriedly. Akaashi wraps an arm around her shoulder and he squeezes it gently. “Hey everything is going to be okay'' he says trying to give her a smile while the feeling of worry in his gut just won't go away. “I'm sure bokuto is fine,” Akaashi says as he goes to ring the doorbell.
They wait on the front porch for a few minutes and Bokuto is the one who answers the door. Bokuto, how is everything, are you okay,” yn asks while she goes to hug him. She feels bokuto tense up but as she pulls away he has a smile on his face. “I'm fine yn”, he says ruffling her hair causing her to huff in annoyance. “There's no need for you to worry, yn”. “That's a relief”, yn says going to hug him tightly again. “So do you wanna play some video games then, Akaashi,” bokuto asks, nodding back to his house. Akaashi nods as they head inside. “Of course but I'm going to beat you,'' he says nonchalantly. “Yeah there is no way that is happening,'' Bokuto says with a chuckle.
They head to bokuto’s bedroom and yn sits on his bed while bokuto and Akaashi sit on the floor so they can see the television a little easier. Yn casually watches the two play some sort of co-op shooting game while she surfs the internet on her phone. 
Suddenly Yn gets a text message alert from kuroo. She opens the text to see what he needs and her eyes widen as reads the text. Hey yn akaashi-san, i'm sure bokuto won't tell you because he told me not to say anything but his test results he got back were bad and he starts chemotherapy next week he didn't want to tell you or your brother because he didn't want you two to worry. Yn gasps, slapping a hand over her mouth and Akaashi and bokuto turn to look at her curiously. Yn fakes a cough. “Sorry i think i inhaled some dust and i need a drink” she says trying not to show that she knows anything. “I’ll go get some for all of us,'' Akaashi says as he leaves the room.
Yn bites her lip and bokuto looks at her strangely. “Yn what's wrong you look upset” he asks. “You idiot,'' she sobs, drawing her knees up to her chest. “How could you keep that from us, your closest friends”, she sobs. “Hey what's going on” bokuto asks, alarmed as he gets up from the bedroom floor and sits by her on the bed. “Koutarou you idiot,'' she sobs as she hugs him. “You called me by my first name so this must be serious,'' he whispers, hugging her back. “How could you not tell us that you are sick you idiot”, she sobs clutching onto his shirt tightly. Bokuto freezes. “Who told you”, he whispers, sounding sad and almost broken. “Kuroo-san texted me”, she says as she doesn't let go of him. “Damn” he mutters. “He should not have said anything”. “Why not?” Yn asks, pulling back to look at him. Bokuto sighs and he looks like he might cry. “I didn't tell you because I want you to be happy and I know that you would probably pity me if you knew”. “I could never pity you koutarou”, yn says as she gulps trying to hold back her tears. “There's something I need to tell you as well”. “What's that?'' he whispers absentmindedly. “Well here goes nothing”, she says. Koutarou I'm in love with you and I have been for a long time probably since my brother introduced us during our first year of high school, but I've always been too scared to tell you. 
Bokuto freezes as he looks like he might cry. “I've loved you too yn”, he says as his voice starts to crack. “That's the main reason I didn't want to tell you about my sickness because I knew if I did then you might not treat me the same and if we fell in love it would break your heart if i died”. “I don't care, I want to be by your side, koutarou”, yn says, shaking her head as she goes back to hugging him again. “You deserve love and support and the cancer should not interfere with that”. Bokuto sighs as he kisses her forehead. “Are you sure you want to be my girlfriend?'' he whispers, his voice wavering. “Yes of course I do”, she says. “Okay”, Bokuto whispers, pulling back out of the hug and she gasps as he cups her cheeks and he kisses her gently, the taste of their tears in the kiss. 
The feeling is bittersweet because she knows how much emotion bokuto is hiding behind the kiss. They pull apart and bokuto leans back against the wall while sitting on his bed and he pulls yn into his arms so her back is against his chest. “I never want to let you go”, he whispers, kissing the back of her head softly before resting his head in the crook of her neck. “I know I don’t want to let you go either”, she whispers. I do want you to know that I will be there at the hospital with you every time you have to get chemo alright”, she asks. “I don't want you to see me like that,'' he says as he sobs harder, causing tears to drip down and wet the back of her shirt. “You need support,” she says. “Besides, I'm not letting my boyfriend fight cancer alone”. “Okay,'' he whispers, still holding her close to him in his arms. “Are you going to tell Keiji”, yn asks. She feels Bokuto nod against her neck. “Yeah I guess I better”, he whispers as they both fall silent. 
“Hey I'm back sorry it took me a while to find the drinks because it seems your parents moved where they keep the sodas but i got one for you, me, and Yn, Bokuto”, akaashi says as he steps into the room but he stops as he soon as he sees bokuto holding yn close to him and can tell that the air of the room has turned sad or tense. “Hey what's up, are you two okay?'' he asks. “What's going on”? Bokuto bites his lip. “Do you want me to tell him for you koutarou?”yn asks, rubbing his arm gently. Bokuto nods as tears fill his eyes and he is unable to speak. “Is he okay and why did you call him by his first name you never have before”, Akaashi asks, growing more and more confused. Yn sighs. “Koutarou was lying when he said his test results came back as okay, Keiji, kuroo told me and i asked bokuto about it”, yn says. Oh Keiji, koutarou has cancer”. 
Akaashi freezes as he almost drops the drinks in shock. “Wait, are being you serious right now?'' he whispers and you can see the worry evident in his eyes as he turns to look at Bokuto. “Bokuto, why didn't you tell us”? Bokuto hangs his head and Yn continues to speak to Akaashi for him. “He didn't want us to pity him even though I could never do that”, yn says, turning around and leaning back so that she can kiss bokuto’s cheek. “What's with that, that's a new development”, Akaashi asks, his eyes widening at the sight of his sister kissing bokuto. “I finally confessed to him”, yn says as her cheeks turn a tint of pink. “I told him about how I've had a crush on him for a long time and I still want him in my life”. “I fell in love with yn a long time ago but you know that Akaashi '', Bokuto whispers as he holds her close to him. “I am glad that you two finally told each other how you two feel but the thing is”, Akaashi says as he sighs heavily. “I'm happy for you two but I wish this could have been under better circumstances”. “I know” yn says as all three of them fall silent unsure what to say. “So can we play some more video games before you two have to go, '' Bokuto asks, trying to ease the uncomfortable feeling in the room. “Of course,” Akaashi says, going to sit back down on the floor and he presses a button on his controller to unpause the game. “I'm going to sit back down on the floor so that I can get a better view of the tv alright yn”, bokuto asks. “Sure”, she whispers, letting him up from behind her. 
While Akaashi and bokuto continue to play video games, yn lays on her stomach on the bed and she watches the two play the game completely engrossed in the mission and she plays with bokuto’s hair. He snorts and she smiles. “Are you ticklish koutarou?'' she whispers, running her fingers through his hair again. “Yeah I am” he whispers, trying not to laugh. She kisses the top of his head and he laughs out loud. “Hey that's not fair you are making it worse and I can’t concentrate on the game,'' he says. “Aww does koutarou not want my affection?'' she asks as she goes to pull away. “Hey wait a minute yes i do”, he says whipping around and yn gasps as he kisses her. “Um hey could you two not make out while i'm in the room”, akaashi says with a groan causing yn and bokuto to laugh. 
“I guess we better be heading on home now, bokuto”, Akaashi says as they finish up the mission and he gets up out of the floor, stretching as he stands up. Akaashi turns to yn and he chuckles lightly when he sees that she has fallen asleep on bokuto's bed. Bokuto sighs looking at her sadly and then he looks back over at Akaashi and Akasshi’s heart tightens at the pained look on Bokuto’s face. “Take care of her for me alright Akaashi”, bokuto asks. “What does that mean”, Akaashi asks with a frown as he crosses his arms. Bokuto sighs and clenches his fist as even just trying to tell akaashi about what he wanted to say was hurting him more than anything else had before. “It means if I die she is going to need someone to watch over her and I want to make sure that she is safe and taken care of”. “Hey you are going to make it alright i won't approve of anyone else dating my sister”, Akaashi says. “I just don’t want to get her hopes up”, bokuto whispers, looking like he might cry again. “Hey you'll be there I am sure of it,'' Akaashi says, patting Bokuto on the back. “I hope so, I love her too much to see her heart break like this”, Bokuto whispers as he kisses her forehead. “If I do die, akaashi, I promise that I'll be her guardian angel”, he says. “You will do better than that, bokuto” akaashi says. “You'll be there by her side to protect her”. “I hope so”, bokuto whispers ruffling yn’s hair gently. “I hope I can give her a lifetime of happiness but I know I won’t live to see that”. 
He reaches over and pulls a jacket from off of his bedside table and then he turns back to Akashi. “Here, give her this, I want her to hold onto it for me” bokuto says, handing Akaashi his fukurodani volleyball club jacket. “I can’t play volleyball anymore anyway because of how weak the chemo will make me so I want her to have this”. “Okay I will give it to her '', Akaashi whispers, trying not to cry himself as he goes to wake Yn up so that they can head home. 
About a week later it is time to head to the cancer clinic for bokuto’s first chemo treatment. Yn is there beside him for support as they walk up to the hospital. Yn squeezes his hand gently as she feels his grip tighten on her hand. “I don't know if I can do this”, Bokuto says as a tear runs down his cheek. “I'll be there with you the entire time”, yn says. Do you promise he asks nervously and yn’s heart clenches as she hears his normally loud and boisterous voice sound so small and scared. “Of course I won't leave your side even for a moment”. Bokuto smirks. “Even if you have to use the bathroom”, Bokuto asks her with a chuckle. Yn laughs. “Okay fine, I would leave your side if i have to go to the bathroom but that's it you're stuck with me koutarou and I want you to know that” she says. “I’m grateful for it,'' Bokuto says, squeezing her hand once more as they walk into the cancer clinic. 
Bokuto is taken to the back shortly after checking in at the front desk and yn heads to the back along with him, keeping her promise to stay by his side. “For your first treatment you will be given a small round of chemo,'' the nurse says as she leads yn and bokuto to a room. “How long will the treatment last?”, bokuto asks as he looks nervously at the bag of chemotherapy treatment that is hanging from the IV pole. “The drip will last about an hour as it will take that long for the medicine to enter your system”, the nurse says as she goes to get the things needed to give bokuto the iv. Bokuto pales when he sees the needle in the nurse's hand when she returns. “Yn can you hold my hand”, he asks looking up at her with his bottom lip sticking out. Yn’s eyes soften. “Of course I'll hold your hand koutarou”, she says sitting in the chair by the bed and Bokuto grips her hand tightly but not too tightly as the nurse heads back over to them. “This may sting a bit,'' the nurse says after wiping down the area of his arm where she is going to give him the iv. Bokuto winces but he doesn't yell out in pain and yn leans over to kiss his cheek. “You're doing so good koutarou”, she says. Bokuto gives her a pained and nervous smile as the nurse finishes up putting in the iv and she hooks up the tube to the iv sight and the medicine starts to drip down and enter Bokuto’s arm. “Alright I'm all done”, she says, putting away the used needle in the disposal bin and throwing away her pair of blue disposable gloves. “I'm going to come back and check on you in half an hour alright”, she says. “Thank you”, bokuto says, laying back on the pillows on the bed as the nurse leaves the room, closing the door behind her.
“Let’s watch some tv that will keep your mind off of the treatment”, yn says as she finds the tv remote and she switches the tv on. They flip through the multiple television channels trying to find something to watch when they find some old movies to watch and this helps them to pass the time quickly as they quote the more famous movies and they joke about old graphics, how exaggerated expressions seemed to be, and how bad the cheesy acting was.. 
The nurse comes back in a little while later and she smiles softly as she sees that both bokuto and yn have fallen fast asleep with their hands still interlocked between them. “Excuse me,'' she says as even though she feels bad about it, she has to wake them up seeing as Bokuto’s treatment has finished being administered. :The treatment is done so it is time to discharge you”, she says as yn and bokuto open their eyes. “That was fast,'' Bokuto says and he winces as he feels stiff and sore all over. “What's wrong koutarou”, yn asks, placing a hand on his arm. “My muscles are really sore”, he says as he tries to stretch and he winces. “That's quite a normal side effect of the chemo,'' the nurse says with a nod. “He will be okay right ma’am”, yn asks, looking worriedly over at bokuto and back up at the nurse. The nurse nods as she pats yn’s shoulder as she tries to reassure her. “Yes he should be fine”, the nurse says and then she turns to Bokuto. “You are good to go for today but please feel free to call us if any side effects persist or worsen”, she says handing him a discharge packet. 
After Bokuto has been discharged and he puts on a mask that will help to keep germs from getting into his weakened immune system, yn leads him over to the hospital gift shop. “What are we doing in here?'' Bokuto asks her as she gently squeezes his hand again as she leads him inside the store. “I wanted to get you something for getting through your first chemo treatment,'' she says and her eyes light up when she spots the perfect stuffed animal to get for him. A grey stuffed owl with white tips on its head sits on a nearby shelf. “This is perfect”, yn says, picking up the stuffed animal and she turns around so she can show it to bokuto. “Oh and why is it perfect? '' Bokuto asks, cocking an eyebrow to show that he is confused. 
Yn smirks teasingly at him. “Well because fukurodani’s mascot was an owl, you played on the team while in high school, and you have white tips in your hair just like this little owl does”. Bokuto grins so wide that yn can tell that he is smiling behind his mask. “Okay you got me there”, he says chuckling as they walk up to the checkout counter. “I'll take good care of him, I promise,'' Bokuto says as he takes the owl from yn and holds it close to him after they have paid for it. “It's the first gift that you have gotten me after all” he says snuggling the owl close to his cheek. “Are you going to name it” yn asks. “Of course” bokuto says as his eyes light up. “His name is going to be spiker,” Bokuto says proudly. “You named him after a volleyball move” yn asks, trying not to giggle at how cute her boyfriend is. “Yes”, Bokuto says defensively as he pouts at yn’s giggles. “Is there something wrong with that”? Yn shakes her head. “Not at all because that's definitely something you would do and I want you to know that I love you”. Bokuto grins as he hugs the owl tightly to his chest. “I love you too yn”. 
A few months later while they are out on a dinner date, bokuto keeps glancing at her and away from her over and over all throughout dinner and yn starts to get confused at the shy and worried look he seems to have on his face. “What is it” yn asks as she puts a hand on her cheek. “Do I have something on my face, kou”? Bokuto shakes his head and looks at her with pure adoration in his eyes. “No but I wanted to ask you something but I am really nervous to do it,'' he says. “Okay so what did you want to ask me, you know you can tell me anything”,yn asks putting her utensils down so she can give him her full attention and she goes to take a sip of her drink. “Will you move in with me”, Bokuto asks her suddenly, his cheeks turning a bright shade of red and he sighs with relief after finally getting the question out there. Yn gasps as she almost drops her drink. “You want me to move in with you”? Bokuto nods as his cheeks heat up even more  in embarrassment. “Yn I don't know how much time I have left or if I will live for another forty or fifty years but what I do know is that I love you and want you by my side so will you move in with me and be by my side each day”? Yn smiles and she feels like she might cry at the sweet gesture. “Oh bokuto of course i'll move in with you”, yn says as she gets up out of her chair and she walks around the table to hug him. “I'll never be lonely with you by my side”, Bokuto says as he hugs her again. 
Over the next few treatments Bokuto begins to lose his hair and he becomes very self conscious of it. “I miss my hair,'' he whispers one day as yn helps him to tie a brightly colored bandana around his head. “I know” she whispers as she kisses his cheek. “Do you still love me even though I am no longer handsome”, he whispers looking sadly at her. Yn’s heart clenches at the hurt look in his eyes. He had become oh so frail after his last treatment seeing as the doctor had to up the dose of his chemo treatment and yn was starting to worry about him even more than she had before. “Hey you are still just as handsome and hot as the day we first met and of course I still love you Kou, I always will because you're the sunshine in my life, you know that right”? Bokuto grins and he turns to hug her. “You're the best girlfriend ever”, he says. Yn smiles as she hugs him back even though her heart is breaking. “No, you're the best boyfriend, silly” she says. “Now why don't we go watch a movie before we have to go to the next treatment in a bit alright” she says. “Okay” he says smiling as he heads to the living room. Yn heads to the bathroom. “I'll be there in a minute, okay kou” she says. “Okay  babe”, he says. “I will be picking out the movie while you are in there then” he says as he sits down on the couch and he turns on the tv. 
Yn goes into the bathroom and she closes the door behind her. She sits down on the toilet and the dam breaks as she finally lets her tears flow as she sobs harder than she ever has in her entire life. She keeps a hand over her mouth so Bokuto doesn't hear her because she doesn't want him seeing her so upset as he was having a hard time as it is and she cries her heart out hoping and wishing that the chemo treatments will help him soon and she hopes that bokuto will no longer have to suffer each day. 
One day while yn is helping bouto to clean around the house she finds a small black box on their bedside table. “Koutarou what is this over here”, she asks, holding the box up in her hand as she turns to face Bokuto. Bokuto’s face and ears turn bright red as he realizes what box she is holding in her hand. “Oh um that was supposed to be a surprise for me to give you later but you can go ahead and open it” he says. Curiously yn open the box and she gasps once she sees what is inside it. On the little cushion in the box is a small antique looking wedding ring. “Bokuto, is this what i think it is”, she whispers looking up at him lovingly. “Yeah”, he says sadly while he rubs the back of his head. “I was thinking of giving it to you but i was worried about whether it was too soon to asks you and then i thought well i probably don't have much time left anyway and so i asked my mom if i could give you my grandma’s wedding ring and she said yes so um yn Akaashi will you marry me”, he asks. “Yes” yn whispers. “Oh koutarou, yes of course i will marry you”. Bokuto grins widely as he starts to cry. “Okay yeah”, he says, taking the box from her. He takes the ring out of the box and with a shaking hand he takes her hand in his and he slips the ring onto her ring finger. “I love you koutarou”, she says as she goes to hug him. “No matter what life throws at us I will always love you”. Bokuto hugs her back. “I love you too yn i just hope that we have a lot more time to spend together”. 
As yn pulls out of the hug she goes over to her purse and she pulls out a similar looking box. “What is that?'' Bokuto asks. Yn smiles with happy tears in her eyes as she opens the box and she pulls a wedding band ring out of it. “This was my grandpa’s wedding ring and I asked my parents if I could give it to you”. “I was actually going to ask you when we went out to dinner tonight”. Bokuto laughs. “That is when I was going to ask you but the surprise was spoiled before I could ask you”. Yn smiles as she slips the ring onto Bokluto’s finger which fits perfectly and he cups her cheek as he leans in to kiss her.
A year later and it is time for Bokuto’s appointment with his cancer doctor and the doctor will tell them if the treatments have been working to help fight the cancer within Bokuto or not. “I'm nervous yn”, bokuto says as yn grips his hand in hers while they sit out in the waiting room. “Don’t worry kou i'm sure the doctor will have some good news seeing as you seem to be feeling better lately”, she says. “You're right”, he whispers as he kisses her temple and he fiddles with the ring on her finger trying to keep his mind on something happy as they had started planning their wedding a short while ago. 
They are called to the back and the nurse finishes checking him in. “So is this your girlfriend then sir”, nurse asks him. Bokuto nods proudly as he squeezes Yn’s hand. “Well actually she is my fiance”. Yn blushes. “I'm still not used to being called that even though we have been engaged for a year because it just doesn't seem real that I am engaged to the man that I have been in love with for years”, she says with a chuckle. The nurse smiles at them softly. “Well the doctor should be in here shortly seeing as there isn't too much of a wait today”, the nurse says as she leaves the room. 
The doctor comes into the room shortly after just as the nurse said he would. He picks up a chart from the counter and he turns to yn and Bokuto “Hello, you are koutarou bokuto, am I correct”? “Yes, I am,” bokuto says. The doctor sighs as a grim look crosses his face but the look is gone shortly after so yn thinks she must have been imagining things. “Well”, the doctor says, clearing his throat. “I need to speak with your fiance in the hallway if that is alright, there was some paperwork I have a question on ''. “Oh sure”, bokuto says as he lets go of Yn’s hand. He then kisses her cheek before she goes out into the hall. “I'll be back soon, kou”, she says. “Okay hurry back I miss you already”, he says, giving her a smile and a wink. Yn smiles and nods. “Don't worry kou, I will”.
“So what did you want to talk to me about sir”?,  Yn asks as she closes the door to the room behind her. The doctor sighs and he shakes his head sadly as he holds up Bokuto’s chart. “You two came in  today for his checkup to see if the chemo is working, am I correct”? “Yes that's right”, yn says crossing her arms. “Is there something wrong, doctor, did the test results not come in yet”? The doctor sighs and shakes his head again. “That's just it the results are in but they probably aren't what you want to hear” the doctor says with a heavy sigh. Yn gasps as her hand goes to cover her mouth. “Wait hold on, are you actually saying that the chemo didn't help him”? The doctor nods as his hold on the chart tightens. “ I always hate having to be the one to tell my patients this, but It seems that the cancer is of the more severe and aggressive type and he will have to go through another round of chemo but it will be a more strenuous type”. “It will take more of a toll on his body than the last round did won’t it”, yn whispers. The doctor nods. “I'm so sorry ma’am, do you want to break the news to him or should i do it”? “I'll try to” yn whispers, her mind in a daze. “I'll go in the room with you as support, I am truly sorry miss”, the doctor says. “'m sorry that you have to tell him this sort of news in any way shape or form” “I just hope this doesn't break him”, she whispers. “He's had such a strong smile on his face throughout his treatments and this may be the last straw”. The doctor nods as he follows her back into the room.
“Hey, hey, hey yn what questions did they have about my paperwork”, bokuto asks her but the smile on his face dies when he sees the pure and utterly defeated look on her face. ?”Yn what's wrong did something happen”, he whispers. Yn bites her lip as she runs over to hug him. “Koutarou”, she sobs, holding tightly onto him. “Oh Kou”, she sobs. “Yn what’s wrong”, he whispers,his voice trembling as he pets the back of her hair. “The test results” she sobs as that is all she can ammage to say. Bokuto freezes as he realizes what she is trying to tell him. “The results are bad aren’t they”, he whispers, his voice wavering. 
Yn nods and she feels Bokuto start to shake and cry along with her. “Why couldn't you have fallen in love with someone healthy?'' he sobs, burying his face in her hair. “I don't want anyone else, you idiot,'' she says. “I'm broken and you deserve someone better, someone that can promise you a full life of happiness”, he says. “You aren’t broken and don't you ever say that”, yn says. “You have all of my heart and you always will, you are stuck with me remember”? Yeah bokuto whispers holding tightly onto yn. I remember. They stay like that for a long while till they can stop crying and the doctor tells bokuto about his next round of chemo. “Tell it to me straight, doctor,” bokuto says. “How long do you think that I have left to live”? The doctor sighs. “I would say anywhere from a year to two years”. “Then let's make the most of this next year koutarou”, Yn says. “Okay”, bokuto whispers. “Let’s live every moment together because who knows what moment will end up being my last”.
The walk out of the hospital is quiet and yn doesn't know what to say or if she can say anything that will actually make Bokuto feel any better. Suddenly she stops as she has an idea that races through her mind. “Hey kou i have an idea she she lacing her hand tightly with his. “Oh yeah, what’s that?'' he asks, looking at her sadly. “Let's not wait and get married now,'' she says. Bokuto stops walking as he looks down at her. “Wait now”, he asks, looking at her. Yn nods. “Yes because I want you to be absolutely sure that I will be right here with you for whatever time we have left together and I think getting married would be a good way to do that” she says. “Are you sure about this yn, because if I die you'll be known as a widow”, he says sadly. Yn shakes her head. “I don't care and besides no other guy can fill the place you already have in my heart alright”? Bokuto nods as he leans down to kiss her. “Okay then let's get married” he says as they head out to their car so they can drive over to the courthouse so they can get married. 
They arrive shortly after at the courthouse and Bokuto holds her hand while they walk the entire way up the stairs and inside the courthouse. “Are you sure that you want to do this here and now”? he asks her once more as he sighs worriedly. “I know you wanted to have our friends and family at our wedding ceremony and this is probably not the ceremony that you imagined having” Yn sighs as she squeezes his hand to try and reassure him. “I think this type of ceremony feels more intimate and special if it's just the two of us kou and besides the only person i need here is you after all” yn says. Bokuto chuckles as he raises her hand to his lips and he kisses the back of her knuckles. “Okay,'' he says. “You are the only one I need as well so let’s do this”, he says as they head inside.
After waiting for a little while the judge called them in for the ceremony. Akaashi had come down to the courthouse to serve as the witness of the ceremony. “Is everyone ready”, the judge asks, looking back and forth between yn and bokuto. “Yes we are ready”, Bokuto says as he and yn stand in front of the judge. “Alright then let's begin, '' the judge says as he clears his throat. “So do you koutarou bokuto take yn Akaashi to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health till death do you two part”? the judge asks him. “I do”, bokuto says, trying not to cry as his throat thickens after he hears the death do us part line. “Alright then”, the judge says with a warm smile and then he turns to face yn. “Yn Akaashi, do you take koutarou bokuto to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health till death do you part”? “I do”, she says sniffling as she smiles happily and she turns back to face bokuto and they both have tears in their eyes and Yn hears akaashi sniffle behind her. “Well then with the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife, you are now known as Mr and Mrs Bokuto and you may now kiss the bride”. Yn and bokuto step forward and they embrace each other as they kiss as the judge and Akaashi clap behind them. They want this one moment to last forever and yn wishes that they could be frozen in time because she knows this happy moment won't last forever.
Yn is right about her hunch because the happy moments are gone about a year after their wedding as bokuto’s condition seems to worsen and it has gotten to the point where he doesn't seem to have much of a will left to live and he would tell yn that his love for her was what was keeping him alive at this point. Bokuto now has to permanently stay in the hospital due to how weak his immune system is and yn is there with him in his room at any moment that she can be, whenever she does not have to work she is there by his side because she is afraid of not being there when he does eventually pass away. 
Yn sighed as she left the house to go and visit bokuto for her daily visit. She looked up at the grey sky and sighed wistfully as she watched the first snowflakes of the christmas season fall around her and land on her jacket and mittens and the snow ends up dusting her hair as well. “He loves the snow” she whispers and she is hoping that he can see the snow from his hospital room window. The ride to the hospital is always quiet and yn misses when she and bokuto could drive for hours through the city and back roads having adventures so that each moment was a journey they wanted to remember.
“Hello miss bokuto good morning”, one of the nurses says as she walks past the nurses station and she heads into the hospice ward where Bokuto’s room is. “Hello head nurse”, yn says. “How is he today?” she asks, looking down the hall towards Bokuto’s room. “He seems to be stable today, no more pains that I know of” the nurse says. “Thank you all so much for taking care of him”, yn says. The nurse smiles. “Well you should give yourself some credit as well you are such a loving wife being by his side most of the time”, the nurse says. “He needs me and I need him” yn whispers, shaking her head to try and clear her eyes of tears as she did not want Bokuto to see her cry. “I want to spend as many moments as I can with him whether they are good or bad,” she says as she walks down the rest of the hall towards Bokuto’s room. 
Yn enters Bokuto’s hospital room, closing the door quietly behind her and she smiles as she sees that he is finally resting peacefully today, with striker the owl tucked into his arms. She pulls back the curtains on the window and she smiles wistfully as she watches the snow cover the ground while she waits for Bokuto to wake up from his nap.
“Is that snow falling out there”, yn hears a croaking voice ask from behind her. Yn smiles as she walks back over to bokuto’s bed to see him smiling up at her even though it is hard for him to smile with the oxygen piece placed in his nose. “Yeah it is snowing, it's so cold out there too”,she says shivering as she tucks her hands into the pockets of the now worn out fukurodani jacket. She had worn it to the hospital so many times that the name had faded on the back of it but she wore it anytime that she couldn't be around bokuto. “I bet the view of the snow is prettier from the outside of this place”, he says in a low voice. Yn shakes her head. “Nah it's just wet and gets everywhere but i'm glad that we can watch the snowfall together in this room”. “I'm glad as well” bokuto says and he coughs and winces as he lays back on the pillow. Yn frowns seeing as the cough did not sound good to her. “Have you been in much pain today kou”?, she asks, taking his hand in hers. 
Bokuto shrugs and coughs even harder than before. “I have had a bit of pain but it seems that the pain medicine is helping me”. “That's good,'' she whispers as she kisses his forehead and he sighs happily and closes his eyes. “What's the date?'' he asks looking back up at her. “All of the days seem to run together while I am stuck in here”. “It's December twenty fourth”, she whispers. “Wow it's christmas already,'' he says, shaking his head. “You know I was working on a present for you at home and I hope you find where I hid it at some point so you can tell me how you like it”. “Can you tell me where it is, kou?”, she asks. He shakes his head and grins a mischievous grin. “No way honey, I'm not done with it, so you can’t see it till I’m finished with it”. “I got you something as well sunshine”, yn says smiling as she gets up from her chair and walks over to her large bag that she had brought with her. 
“What is it”, bokuto asks, perking up a bit as he tries to sit up in the bed but he sighs and lays back defeated on the pillows seeing as he can’t sit up by himself as he doesn't have the energy. “It's a surprise” yn says winking as she helps to raise the top part of the bed so he can sit up in the bed and she hands him the bag. “I was visiting my parents house recently and I found something that won't wilt like regular flowers would”. Confused, Bokuto opens the bag, pulls out a large amount of tissue paper, and his eyes widen when he pulls out a handful of carefully crafted hand folded paper carnations. “These are beautiful babe”, he whispers, cradling all of them gently in his hands as he looks up at her. “Did you make all of these yn”, he asks. Yn nods and she blushes as she rubs the back of her neck. “Actually I made these back when we were in our first year of high school, and yes it was shortly after we met, you see I wanted to confess to you back then but I didn't know how to, so I had the idea to write what I liked about you on the papers flowers and then I ended up getting too embarrassed to even give them to you. 
“Can I read them now”? Bokuto asks her. “Of course you can”, yn says smiling at him. “That's why I gave them to you after all”. “I love your smile”, bokuto whispers and tears come to his eyes as he reads the first flower. “I love your hugs and how you always have so much energy. I love how you can instantly make me feel better just by being with me. I love your passion for whatever you set your mind to”. He opens up the last one and tears come to his eyes as he reads it. “Bokuto koutarou i love everything about you and I hope you return my love sincerely, Yn Akaashi”. “Do you like it”, yn whispers nervously. “This is an amazing gift, of course I love it, now can I kiss you”, bokuto asks. “Of course you can”, yn says leaning down to kiss bokuto. “Can we cuddle now, I want to hold you, he asks, looking up at her with puppy dog eyes. “Of course you know I love your cuddles”, she says, moving the rolling hospital tray out of the way. 
She pulls down the guard rail and she sits down beside him and she swings her legs onto the bed, pulling up the guard rail so that she doesn’t fall off. Bokuto wraps his ailing arms around her and he pulls her close to him and closes his eyes. “I love you yn and thank you for these two wonderful years”, he says as he cries into her hair. “I love you too kou and I am sure we will have many more”, yn says as she starts to cry as well. “You don’t know that you yn, please find someone after I've gone, I would hate for you to be sad,'' bokuto says and if yn isn't mistaken his voice seems to be getting raspier. “What are you talking about, kou I could never love someone as much as i have loved you” yn says. “Promise me,'' he says, tightening his hold on her. “You will try to find happiness after I'm gone”. “You are not going to leave me anytime soon but sure I promise to find happiness”, she says snuggling up close to him. “Good, thank you”, he whispers and she feels him relax against her. “Let’s rest, I just want to hold you while we sleep, okay,” he says. “Okay love you kou” she says closing her eyes and she lets sleep overtake her. “Love you too yn”, he whispers as he too closes his eyes.
Yn’s eyes suddenly snap open as she hears loud and shrill alarms going off around her. “What's going on?'' she asks, looking around disoriented and wide eyed as several nurses and doctors all rush into the room at the same time. One of the nurses pulls down the guard rail. ““Ma'am we need you to get back off the bed because your husband is going into a code blue and we need room to see if we can revive him”, one of the doctors says. Yn gasps as she hops up from off of the bed and her eyes widened as she sees bokuto lying there motionless with a peaceful smile on his face. “Koutarou”, she whispers weakly hoping he will wake up but her hopes are falling faster and faster by the moment. “Please get out of the way ma’am”, a doctor says as he pushes her back. In all of the chaos yn notices that striker had fallen to the floor. She picks up the stuffed owl in her arms and her hold on it tightens as she begins to cry when bokuto showed no signs of response to the doctors attempts to revive him. “Call it”, the doctor says sadly as he stops trying to revive Bokuto and he pulls away shaking his head sadly. “Time of death 12:01 December twenty fifth”. Yn sobs as she drops to her knees on the floor and she cries and the doctor’s clench their fists and they look away sadly as she wails her heart out. “Of all days why did it have to be christmas”, yn says sobbing. A nurse comes over and she helps her to her feet and wraps a blanket around her shoulders. “Is there anyone you would like me to call dear, '' the nurse asks, rubbing her arm in an effort to comfort her. “My brother”, she says as she bites her lip in order to be able to speak and not cry again. “He was my husband’s best friend,” yn says numbly. The nurse nods. “Okay, why don't I get you something warm to drink and you can give me his number alright dear”? “Okay”, yn whispers.
The nurse leads her out to the nurses station and she sets her down in a chair. Dazed yn hears some christmas music playing on the radio at the nurses station but the cheeriness of the music is only making her feel sick to her stomach. She definitely doesn't feel like this is the most wonderful time of the year. She holds striker close to her and she feels tears leaking down her cheeks as she can smell bokuto's scent on the stuffed owl. What a way to spend Christmas, alone in a hospital after her husband has passed away.
After getting her a large cup of hot chocolate the nurse gets akaashi’s number from yn and then it's not too long before he gets to the hospital after the nurse calls him, even though it is so late at night. “Yn, I am here”, she hears Akaashi call out her name as he runs down the hall to her and when she looks up she is surprised to see tears running down his face as normally he hardly ever shows any emotion. '`Keiji”, she says as she bites her lips and the tears flow freely down her cheeks once more. “What happened”, akaashi asks, bending down so that he can be at her eye level. “We fell asleep cuddled together and oh keiji he died in his sleep”, she said sobbing loudly. Yn throws her arms around Akaashi and he hugs her tightly to him and he holds her as she cries, soaking his shirt. “At least he died with you there with him”, akaashi whispers, rubbing her back. “At least he wasn't alone”. Yn nods but she doesn't say anything. “Do you want to stay with me for a few days yn”, akaashi asks. Yn nods as she rubs at her eyes. “I don't know what I'm going to do Keiji” she says, trying not to let her emotions overflow again. She sees Akaashi rub tears out of the corners of his eyes as he helps her up out of the chair and he wraps an arm around her shoulder. “Hey don't worry we will get through this together” he says as they head out of the hospital. 
The day that yn decides to head back to her and bokuto’s house is after she and Akaashi attend bokuto’s funeral and akaashi goes with her because he knows that she can’t handle being alone right now. Yn takes a deep breath as she unlocks the front door and she takes a step inside the house. Instantly as she walks inside she is met by the memories that she shared with bokuto, the moments they shared together that she is finding hard to face. The late night movie marathons, the cookie competition they had in the kitchen, and the moments of pure adoration and intimacy that she could never get back. “Are you okay”? Akaashi asks, walking up to stand beside her and he rubs her shoulder. Yn nods and she rubs at her eyes as she takes a deep breath. “Yeah i think i'll be fine but i'm going to need a minute Keiji”. “Of course take all the time you need,'' he says. Yn walks down the hall of the now oh so quiet house and something feels like it is telling her to open the hallway closet. Yn opens the door to the closet and a large box falls to the ground in front of her and lands at her feet. Curiously, she bends down on her knees to see what the box is as she had never seen this box before. “I heard a loud noise, are you okay yn,” akaashi asks, walking down the hall and over to her. Yn nods and tears well up in her eyes as she opens the large box to find a giant scrapbook with the title our lifetime of memories written across the front. Yn opens the cover and the first page makes her gasp as it's a note to her from bokuto. Hey yn i made this scrapbook for us to keep our memories in. Each time I take a picture of us I'm adding it to this book so here is to all of the memories we have made and here is to all of the ones awaiting us in the future. Yours forever and for always your sunshine, Koutarou.
She flips the page of the scrapbook and she is met with a picture of her, bokuto, and akaashi in high school when they first met and akaashi introduced her to bokuto and that is when she had started to develop a crush on him so the memory filled her with a lot of overwhelming emotions. She sniffled as she flipped through the pages of the scrapbook seeing so many memories unfold before her, some she remembered with distinct and perfect clarity while others she remembered only when she saw the photo laid out in front of her. One of the final pictures in the scrapbook was of the one that they took at their wedding at the courthouse and that was shortly before bokuto was admitted to the hospital. “Are you going to be okay”? Akaashi asks, sitting beside her on the floor of the hall. Yn nods as she rubs at the mascara that is running down her cheeks. “I think so Keiji, koutarou told me to find happiness but it may take me a while before i'm ready to date again if I am ever ready at all”. “Of course”, akaashi says as gets up out of the floor and he pulls yn up as well. “I'm sure bokuto will understand if you don't move on right away”. 
Suddenly Yn feels a draft of wind around her in the hall. “It's okay Yn, I'll always be right beside you and I'll always be your guardian angel, so take all of the time you need you have a lifetime to find happiness again” an invisible voice says from behind her. Yn gasps and she looks around herself quickly. “Are you okay, '' Akaashi asks, looking at her with worry  in his eyes. “I thought I heard a voice say that they would be my guardian angel Keiji, who do you think that it could have been?” she says with tears in her eyes. “Do you think it could have been him”? Akaashi smiles sadly at her. “What is it” yn asks him. “That's the same thing bokuto told me he would do for you when he first learned he was getting sick, he said that when he died he would vow to be your guardian angel and he said that he would watch over you to make sure that you were okay”. “Do you think that he could actually be here with us,” yn asks. Akaashi shrugs as he crosses his arms and a sad smile crosses his face. “Who knows yn, people always say that your loved ones never leave you and that they are never truly gone, and I'm sure that bokuto will be by your side I guarantee it”.

Zombie apocalypse au - read on ao3
*-*
Peter doesn't remember life before the virus. He was only five when everyone got sick.
He's seventeen now, and he's never set foot outside of the city. Well, outside of the tower.
There's a curfew -has been since the virus. Those who go into the city for supplies or to work the garden and tend to the livestock have to be inside by five every day.
Peter doesn't have a green thumb, nore does he have a way with animals. And he's got two left hands when it comes to weaponry. So he stays in the tower.
The tower used to be Stark Industries. When the outbreak hit New York, people locked themselves inside, tried to wait it out.
Peter had been with his aunt. She tells him they'd gone to get ice cream and bring some back to his parents.
Aunt May had ran into the closest building -Stark Industries- and had hidden in the basement with Peter. He doesn't remember.
Tony Stark -the owner of Stark Industries- had offered his penthouse to the few who had taken refuge in his building.
After a week, many of the workers left, off to find their families. They never came back.
A month passed, and scouts confirmed the virus had taken over the whole city. Stark tower was the only building the monsters couldn't get to.
So, it became home. Peter grew up running up and down the industrial hallways, playing with the golden retriever one of the hideaways had.
He didnt know anything different. Everyone took care of him, raised him. He was the only kid in the tower.
He might even be the youngest living being in all of New York at this point.
His favorite people to visit and hang out with were Steve and Bucky. They had been walking their new puppy Goldie when the world ended.
They had been married for ten years before. They celebrated their twenty year anniversary a couple years back. Goldie was almost eleven, and didn't like playing as much with Peter -though she still liked to sit with him in the living room when he tinkered with old tech.
Natasha and Clint worked on the ground, so Peter didn't see them much. They could fight a whole swarm of monsters and not get bit. They were the best.
Bruce and Aunt May tended to the garden under their watchful eye. Steve, Bucky and Sam took care of the livestock.
Its strange. The zombies leave animals alone. They only go after people.
Tony, Bucky and Clint go scouting a lot. They run the city, looking for any survivors, or anything the tower could use.
The tower is self-sufficient thanks to Tony's genius. He'd been working on making the entire tower self-sustaining even before the outbreak.
He's only managed to get the top three floors. The rest of the tower has no electricity or running water. That's fine though. Theres not many of them left, and three floors is plenty of space.
The living area is the penthouse. They eat, sleep and breathe there. The second floor down holds all of Tony's old tech, and projects in the works. The third floor down is the weapons and medicine floor.
Peter is on the second floor when the scouting party comes back. He only knows this because of the AI Tony created tells all three floors when people come or go.
Peter sets down his tools and rushes for the staircase. He sails down them and opens the door bodily, nearly falling flat on his face.
"You're back," Peter called, running down the short hallway to the ammunition room. Clint, Bucky and Tony are all unloading their haul and their weapons.
Clint's weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, as well as a long range rifle -he's the eyes, always taking out zombies before they get close enough to spot them.
Bucky is unloading his knives and pistols. Hes best at close combat.
Peter jumps onto the table, watching as Tony checks the magazine of his .9mm, then settle it back into the holster on his thigh.
"How was it," Peter asked, eyeing the two duffle bags on the table, surrounded by magazine clips and disassembled weaponry.
"We made it all the way to the hospital this time," Bucky grinned. Peter's eyes widened. They don't get to the hospital that often, since its clear on the other side of the city, and usually swarming with zombies.
They don't need to go on medical runs much anyway, but Tony likes to keep stocked in case.
"And we hit the motherload," Clint grinned, unzipping one of the bags and revealing canned food from vegetables to soup, the labels all sun bleached and color faded.
"Whoa." Peter reached in, pulling out an old Cambells can, looking at the faded red and white label. He can barely make out the words. "Tomato soup!"
"Thats not all," Bucky hummed. Peter looked up just as Bucky reached into his back pocket.
Peter sets the can down and his eyes widen when Bucky pulls out a deck of cards.
"No way!" Peter leaps off the table, snatching the cards.
"Its a full deck," Bucky grins proudly. Their current deck was a mix of two different cards, and cardboard and plastic pieces they'd drawn the suits and numbers on.
It made it hard to shuffle, and they all knew the suit and number of the makeshift cards. It made for a boring game.
Clint laughed and ruffled Peter's curls before grabbing the food and heading for the penthouse to restock their cupboards.
"Thanks, Bucky," Peter grinned, pulling the cards out of the brand new -but still sun faded- case. He's never seen cards this new before.
"Dont thank me, Tony's the one who spotted them," Bucky said, giving Peter a knowing grin before grabbing the medicine and heading for the medical wing.
Peter blushed, then turned to Tony -who wasn't there. He scowled and looked around in confusion. He didnt notice him leaving.
Peter quickly puts the cards back in the protective box and drops them into his cargo shorts pocket before running out of the room.
After raids, Tony usually likes to spend time with his old tech -projects he'll never be able to complete, in a workshop he'll probably never get rid of.
He finds Tony at one of the work benches, fiddling with something Peter -to this day- can't figure out what it is.
"Hey," Peter said, walking over to him and sitting down on the stool at the end of the bench. Tony glances up and gives a small smile.
"Thanks for the cards," Peter continued, picking at his nails and looking down at his lap. "Bucky said you got them for me."
"You're welcome, kid," Tony hummed, eyes focused on a project he'll never finish. Peter thinks it makes Tony feel better. Makes him feel like he's back to before the virus, when he was making things all the time and helping people.
All he's got now are old robots that break down more often than they run, and dust over most of the place he used to call home.
All Tony has is JARVIS and the others, but Peter sometimes gets the feeling that that sometimes isn't enough for Tony.
The two sit in silence for a while, Tony hard at work, and Peter deep in thought.
"Hey Tony?"
Tony hums.
"Whats it like dating?" Peter says it fast, worried he'll lose his nerve and chicken out. Tony stops his fiddling and looks over, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you asking for dating advice?" Tony asked. Peter can't meat his eyes when he nods and Tony sets his tools down. "Who's the lucky person you're crushing on? Anyone I know?"
"You know everyone I do, Tony," Peter huffs. Tony crosses his arms and smirks, amused. Peter hunches his shoulders.
"Who is it?" Tony asks.
Peter takes a deep breath. He's gotta just come right out and say it. If he doesn't, he'll never do it and then it'll be too late.
"You," he breathes. Its quiet. Peter's hands sweat. This was a bad idea.
"Pete," Tony sighs. Peter manages to look up. Tony looks pained, regretful. Its not the look Peter wanted to see. "I'm too old for you."
"So?" Peter finds himself asking.
"So, you should be dating people your own age."
"Do you know of any other seventeen year olds running around?" Peter asked, waving his hand around dejectedly.
"There's always a chance-"
"Please don't," Peter interrupts. "Please? Its been twelve years. No ones come looking for us, you haven't found anyone during your raids. Its just us."
Tony opens his mouth to speak, but Peter's on a roll now, and he can't stop even if he wanted to.
"And don't say to wait. I've been waiting. For all we know we're the last people on earth not a zombie, and I want- I want to have my first kiss before I'm forty."
"Peter-"
"I want to experience things," Peter continues, steamrolling over Tony. "I want to go outside, and I want to have a boyfriend and I want to have sex-"
"Kid-"
"Please, Tony," Peter said. "I like you, and- and I don't want to experience this with anyone else in the tower, and I don't want to wait for the point one percent chance of someone my age coming along."
"Listen, kid," Tony sighs.
"I'm not a kid anymore, Tony," Peter said, sounding desperate. He looks at Tony with wide eyes, begging for the older man to understand.
Tony -hell, everyone in the tower- had a life before the virus. They got to experience the world. Peter hadnt.
Its all he wanted. He wanted a normal life. A life he was robbed of. He's desperate for it.
Tony doesn't say anything. He looks at Peter, calculating. Peter sees his shoulders begin to slump, and finally he breaks. Peter feels a little giddy at the thought of getting his way, though he remains put.
"No," Tony said on a sigh. "I suppose you're not."
Peter doesn't know whatto say after that. He's made his case, there's nothing more to say.
"Its hard," Tony said after a while. "I still think of you as a kid. I still think you're ten."
Peter chews on his lower lip, head dipped down and shoulders hunched in on themselves.
"So you don't like me back?" He managed to ask, even as his tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.
"Kid-" he sighs. "Peter."
Tony settles a hand on Peter's shoulder, and Peter looks up at him.
"I like you," he says. Peter feels himself beginning to smile and quickly clamps that down, biting his lip. "God knows this situation isn't ideal. This would've been bordering on illegal, before."
"If you're uncomfortable, I understand," Peter said. Tony shakes his head.
"Thats not what I'm saying, Pete."
Peter didn't know what he was saying then.
"If we're going to try this out, there's gotta be rules," Tony continued. Peter looked back up at him.
"First rule is there's no hiding it. If we're gonna date, everyone knows about it or its not happening."
"Okay," Peter nodded.
"And we're taking this slow," Tony adds. "Like, cold honey slow, got it?"
"Got it," Peter nodded. His smile is getting too wide to hide. Tony's hand squeezes his shoulder.
"Good."
He removes his hand from Peter's shoulder. He gives Peter a small smile back.
"Could- is kissing going too fast?" Peter asks. Tony's smile grows a little, and he shakes his head.
"No, its not too fast."
The older man leans forward and Peter eagerly closes the distance between them.
The kiss is close lipped, and their noses press against each other, but its perfect.

masterlist!
01 -> 02
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
an -> this is the longest chapter i will be including in the series, i just needed to get the base for the plot down i promise i’m not gonna make you all read 2467 words every update !!
Tumblr media
drowned out chatter faded the further you wandered down the halls towards the place you’d practically be calling your second home for the next year and-a-half. your arms swung slightly by your side as footsteps strode from behind.
“ya know,” atsumu piped up suddenly, taking in your optimistic aura. “this isn’t gonna be the most glamorous job.”
“i’m more than aware.” you shot back not letting the pseudo blonds comments dampen your approach to the new position you’d been approached to take.
despite being a well-known volleyball team with notably talented players, inarizaki had yet to fill the role of a team manager with them ultimately dismissing the role and disregarding the hopes and intentions of finding someone willing to take the role seriously and with the right intentions of being a team manager. they had applications sent in, a flood of them to be precise, but alas, majority of the applications were just desperate attempts from girls just trying to find away to inch a little closer to the miya twins. the few that weren’t from the mass of girls were from other students but their applications were either filled in wrong or their availability wasn’t compatible enough to work with the club.
“i don’t get why yer so eager to start. yer gonna have to do things like fill up water bottles and wash the bibs we use for practice.” osamu commented as you hummed dismissively towards his attempts to break your spirit.
“because, i don't have to be referred into an actual club by my homeroom teacher now and your mom said you two will be helping me take care of the… less dignified, aspects of the role now. that means washing your smelly kit and towels. remember?”
atsumu scoffed while osamu settled with a short huff of annoyance. that was indeed part of the deal you had made when the twins had requested your assistance in the team.
you had been close friends with the talented twins for as long as you could remember. you’d even go as far as to say you were practically the third miya sibling. raised and grown up together tightly, the three of you stayed knitted together up to the present day. you were someone the two boys felt reliant on, but they were also ready to drop their own activities should you need their assistance. you were well-liked by the twins and that was something the majority of the student body envied but not to the point where they’d say anything and risk having one or worse, both, the boys overhearing them bad-mouthing you and result in them to take the situation into their own hands.
it was atsumu who had first suggested you become the team manager a few weeks prior to the present moment. you were attending another regular visit to the miya residence and atsumu had brought it up over dinner with yourself and his family.
“hey, we kinda need a manager. i think kita’s gettin’ a little stressed cause nationals will be approaching soon and they didn’t have one last year either.” atsumu looked up at you as you had a mouthful of rice.
you momentarily glared at him for turning all attention over to you when he clearly knew you were eating. you swallowed and shook your head at the boy sat across the table to you.
“i dunno, that seems like a big commitment.”
“i mean, i won't lie to ya it is, but being in any club is a commitment so ya might as well join one yer more likely to enjoy.” osamu chimed in as his mother caught your attention.
“don’t let the boys pressure ya. i think it would be nice if ya did it though darlin. both boys can walk ya home after and samu’s right. joining as their manager is better than being put into a club ya might not like attending seeing as yer yet to join any extra curriculum.”
you whined and leaned back in the soft wooden chair in the miya’s homey dining room.
“you just said not to let the boys pressure me and then joined in yourself!”
mrs miya laughed and waved off your complaint. “they get it from me, what can i say.”
you glanced up from the now softly steaming food to face the two boys across from you. atsumu had a soft but still smug smile painted across his face while osamu wore a slightly sympathetic yet hopeful expression on his. you were almost ready to give into the pair right then and there but ultimately decided that if you were to brush up on the rules of volleyball, the twins were going to have to brush up on the rules of you too.
“fine.” you stated to which atsumu smiled brightly too. “i’ll be your manager since i really don’t want to be assigned to any other club but,” you paused and didn't miss the way their eyes darted back to yours. “i’m not washing your disgusting training stuff and the towels. i also don’t want a hoard of your fangirls stampeding over me at any given moment and lastly, i get my own room for overnight stays when we have to attend matches that take place further away. comprende?”
atsumu shrugged and agreed to your terms as osamu followed suit. “great,” you finally smiled a little. “talk to kita and i’ll get started with it whenever he deems suitable.”
mr and mrs miya sent thankful smiles your way to which you softly returned before turning back to your meal completely unaware as to what chaos you had just unknowingly brought upon yourself.
back to the current moment, you stopped outside the two large doors leading into the spacious gym with slight hesitation. the small crack between the doors gave you the first exposure to the area you’d be finding yourself more familiar with from now on.
“what's the hold up?” atsumu queered looking down at your now thoughtful looking expression. “ya were excited to get started just a moment ago weren’t ya?”
you bit the inside of your cheek as your palm lay rested upon the flat surface of the gym door. “i don’t think excited is the word, but you think i’ll do fine right?” you frowned slightly, internally scolding yourself for letting such intrusive thoughts invade your mind just before you were about to introduce yourself to which would be ‘your boys’ in the fast approaching future.
“we wouldn’t have asked ya if we didn’t think it would be a role fit for ya.” osamu replied, resting his hands behind his head. you scoffed and shot a look from behind you towards the grey haired twin. “liar, you two just wanted someone to wash your gross kit.” atsumu snorted before ruffling your hair, stirring irritation inside of you. “think yer the one whose forgotten our end of the deal where we agreed to help ya out with this. we’re in this with ya together now, let's get movin’.”
atsumu left you no time to protest as he pushed the doors open having it swing widely so the gym lights flooded the slightly dimmer hallway giving anyone looking a perfect view of the three of you. heads turned in your general direction as a result of the minor scene the blond had caused leaving osamu to only roll his eyes and for you to stand meekly between the twins as atsumu ushered you inside the clean smelling gym.
“this is y/n, the new manager i said we had gotten you!” a proud smile tugged on atsumus lips as the other boys looked you up and down as if you were some sort of animal being fawned over in a petting zoo.
“shut up! you didn’t get me, i agreed on my own terms!” you hissed at the setter elbowing his side slightly. osamu snickered at your public scolding towards his twin as the rest of the team began to gather round. kita sent an apologetic look your way as he approached you with a firm hand.
“it’s nice to finally meet you l/n-san. please take care of us and we’ll do the same.” his voice calm but transparently clear, you had never met someone so genuine and almost proper in your life. “likewise.” you smiled taking his hand to give him a confident shake in greeting. leaving you with a firm nod to depart from you and talk to the coach, kita gave you one last look of what you could’ve read as thankful but you weren’t completely sure. the better you got acquainted with these boys, the better you’d be able to read them which was your first goal set in becoming a manager they could rely on the same way the twins did.
aran was next to approach you with a clearly thankful smile. “i haven’t seen ya around in a while y/n, good to see yer the one the twins informed on the empty role.” you smiled back at the ace and placed your hands behind your back. you were already well acquainted with aran due to the twins association with him from a young age. back then, yourself and the twins came as a package deal whenever suited so you had been introduced to the ace from a younger age and had built up the same respect for him as the twins had.
“i wouldn’t say informed but more of a pressured attack on me.” aran grinned at you as atsumu retaliated with a “not true!” from across the courts where he was helping set up the net. “either way, good to see ya here. nice to have the three miyas in one place.” you scoffed in amusement before waving off the comment.
after being thoroughly introduced to a handful of members before practice had officially started, you sat down on the bench beside the coach as he went through the basics of the game as the boys played. you already knew a handful of rules and techniques to the game which was a given considering just how close you were to atsumu and osamu, but you were grateful for the refresher as you observed the players and took your first attempt in noting down particular quirks and techniques you noticed each boy possess.
training lasted 2 hours which was longer than the usual club activities but you understood that the volleyball team were a particularly important asset to the school so it was only natural they’d be granted more time for extracurricular. osamu was the first to approach you with a towel wrapped around his neck. “so,” he said before wiping any excess sweat on his face. “what did ya think?” you smiled and took the towel from his hands before tossing it into the nearby laundry bin.
“it was… a lot better than i thought it was going to be.” you meant that earnestly. it was a little overwhelming at first that you’d assume anyone would find that understandable seeing as you had practically been thrown into the deep end with a group of boys you were not particularly familiar with. “that's good then. glad we convinced ya?” yourself and osamu wandered towards the door leading towards the boys changing rooms where their bags were kept. “for now.” you stopped outside the door and nodded for osamu to head in with the other players. he hummed content with your reply before following suit with the small litter of players entering through the door to retrieve their things.
you waited 5 minutes for the boys to leave the changing room before saying your thanks and goodbyes to the team you were slowly getting more to grips with. it was going to take a while to get into the swing of things but you were certain you’d find enjoyment in it somewhere along the line seeing as your first practice wasn’t awful.
the three of you chattered among yourself as usual with atsumu dominating most of the conversation and osamu only butting in to contradict his brother. you were as always, in between the two boys as they asked you how you found it and what you thought. after reassuring them for the 6th time, they gave in and accepted your answer as genuine. despite not saying anything, they were a little guilty after springing such a heavy role on you but they knew you’d pull through no matter the circumstances so they were ultimately satisfied in their choice.
“practice was intense, but i kinda liked it.” you hummed as you walked under the dim street lights illuminating the paths ahead.
“yeah i guess it was, it’s not always like this though. i think some of them were a little more into it seeing as you were there today.” osamu mentioned as he stuffed his hands in his jacket pockets.
“you think?” you raised an eyebrow as atsumu sighed.
“i know that’s the case. you practically had the same effect kita has on all of us. not me though, i’m always good whether yer there to watch or not.”
“i’m sure you are.” you chimed as the three of you approached your street. “ya know who was playin’ a little intensely today though?” osamu raised an eyebrow to his brother's question. “who?”
“suna. he seemed a little more into it today.”
you raised an eyebrow in question as you looked back to glance at atsumu. “who’s suna?”. atsumu hummed as he began to describe the fellow second year. “tall, six foot one i mean, dark moppy hair, kinda hunches over when he’s standin’.” you thought back to the players you had been vaguely acquainted with within the past few hours. your mind touched upon every player's face you recalled until it landed on a certain face you were sure fit atsumu’s description. “number 10?” osamu hummed, confirming your hypothesis correct. “wonder what got into him though, his surroundings don’t usually motivate him unless he’s explicitly told to stop slackin’ maybe he just had an off day.” the grey haired twin suggested to which atsumu agreed. you shrugged as the three of you stopped outside the front of your own house.
“well, training was an absolute delight. see you both tomorrow.” you waved the boys off as atsumu sneered at your borderline sarcastic comment. “stop lyin’ ya loved it and are thankful we picked ya really!”
you laughed at his call out comment as osamu waved and ushered his brother away before you closed your front door shut before leaning back on the door for a moment.
suna huh? well, if your job was to analyse the players and pick out when they were having off days, you’d just have to start watching their number 10 a little closer.

The Act of LordE: part 2
On the contrary
Bakugou & Izuku x Reader
<< Previous
Tumblr media
It had been a few weeks since the new year's party. [y/n] decided to put that unfortunate event behind. She was well settled in the city and was having a great time with Izuku as well. They were officially in a relationship. She even managed to intern at a hero agency. Her job was to study the hero costumes and make them fashionable. A job that was considered useless by heroes, as told by her seniors. But, She firmly believed that a hero's outfit should make a statement about the hero, radiate his/her personality.
Her boyfriend, who was one of the rising top heroes, not only comprehend her passion but also respected her talent for making even the most boring items into fascinating entities, as opposed to what her seniors had experienced.
[y/n]'s excitement about starting at the hero agency was palpable. She was thrilled to meet pro heroes in person and have a chance to re-model their outfits. She was also a little anxious about pulling their style statement down instead of elevating.
"We will start with you studying some hero costumes evolution throughout the years. Relate the modifications with the fashion trends and marketing trends set in the respective years and submit a report by the weekend."
The chief stylist of the agency had assigned work the second she met [y/n].
[y/n] was impressed and surprised at how work centered her boss was. She got into work immediately. After a week of extensive research, late-night shenanigans, rewriting the thesis thinking the previous one wasn't good enough and taking inputs from her boyfriend & his fellow hero friends, [y/n] finally submitted her report. Her boss didn't seem too impressed but didn't criticize either. She assigned [y/n] her next task: to make sketches of a hero intern's outfit and try different color panels.
"I will ask one of the hero interns to come see you." Her boss told in a neutral tone and left the room. The Fashion department was vacant most of the time since most fashion staff tended to work from their comfort zones. The boss who came in every day had a chamber of her own. So, [y/n] was pretty much by herself. She was looking forward to having company.
"This Asshole!"
[y/n] screamed inside. At the sight of the person whom she was so eagerly waiting to meet. How could she possibly forget those eyes?
Katsuki, on the other hand, cursed his fate for putting the one girl he didn't want to see ever again in front of him.
Tumblr media
However, neither brought up the night. They worked in silence, avoiding eye contact, wishing for the day to get over soon.
[y/n] had had a long day. She walked home thinking if she should tell Izuku what happened on new year's. She decided not to. It was too late now. If she wanted to, she should have, sooner. At least when she recognized that ass from the pictures Izuku had shown her the day she had stayed over.
A few days later, Katsuki was asked to visit [y/n] again. To submit technical details of the gadgets he used and to answer any questions she had. Bakugou sucked at making things right, the easiest way to ease the tension between them was to tell her about the stupid challenge and apologize, he couldn't get himself to. It was difficult to even imagine himself doing it, given his egocentric personality. Nevertheless he had to. After a long hour of deep thinking, he decided he would.
He took heavy reluctant steps towards the fashion department.
"Ummm. Thanks for getting lunch, Izu."
[y/n] was seated on the table, with her hands around Midoriya's neck.
"I took a day off. That the least I could do, [y/n]-chan."
[y/n] kissed Izuku on the lips gently.
"We are so occupied with college, internships, and assignments these days. We barely get to spend time together. I miss you."
Izuku sounded disappointed.
[y/n] let out a sigh in agreement and hugged him.
"I miss you too, baby."
"Wish we at least worked at the same place. We could commute together." Izuku mused.
"I can put in a word for you! How can they say no to someone as talented as you?" He was holding [y/n] by her shoulders now. His eyes shined, radiating his enthusiasm.
"Our Agency is just as good, you know?" He was trying to be cocky now.
[y/n] laughed and ruffled his hair.
"Thanks for saying that, Mr. Pro-to-be. But, I got in here with lots of effort and am learning a great deal. I don't want to leave halfway. I know you wouldn't."
"Yeah." Izuku sulked.
Usually, Bakugou barged in, irrespective of the place and the situation. Except for this day. He had waited at the door for a while before going in.
"Tch. As if getting to see one shit face for the day wasn't enough."
Izuku moved away, and [y/n] quickly got off the table. A drop of sweat trailed down her cheek though she knew she wasn't at fault. Not much anyway.
"I don't know how shit works at your agency, Deku-teme, But here, we don't fool around."
Kachan eyed [y/n] in what seemed like disgust.
"Ah...Kachan, please calm down. I was just dropping off lunch. I am sorry."
(What is he sorry for?)
Deku's demeanor changed suddenly.
"I shall pick you up in the evening, [y/n]-chan. Bye for now."
Izuku didn't even bother to peck [y/n] and left hurriedly. [y/n] had heard enough stories about Izuku's childhood friend Kachan to understand his reaction. But, she was more frustrated at how this person got away with being an asshole all the time. Izuku was used to Kachan's way of talking. But [y/n] wasn't, and she didn't plan to.
"Who do you think you are!?"
[y/n] was raging with fury.
"Ah?" Bakugou tried to sound cold and clueless when he was burning on the inside. He had to face the inevitable confrontation now. He had ignited the fire.
"I don't know why Izuku tolerates your foul mouth but, that's no way to treat a friend!"
"I don't have time for this." Bakugou tries to escape the ultimate, one last time.
"You do, and you will listen to everything I have to say!"
To [y/n]'s surprise, he obeyed and sat down on the chair unwillingly.
"First, You steal his new year's kiss from him by forcing yourself on me, and then, you are extremely rude to him for no reason at all. It had literally been five minutes since he arrived! We weren't fooling around. It was my lunch break, for god's sake! And worst of all, He asks sorry, like he was guilty! If anyone should be apologizing, it's you!"
Katsuki yawned as [y/n] went on, which only aggravated her further.
While [y/n] was fuming, Katsuki slowly speaks up after confirming that she was done.
"Whoah! I didn't know you were dating at the time."
(even so, I am guilty of kissing you without consent. You dumb girl. You need to get some confrontation lessons.)
"I don't care how long he had been here. I saw what I saw, and I may be an ass but have strong work ethics."
(I couldn't stand seeing you together.)
"As for an apology, I still don't see my fault."
(I am an ass. I know. I also know it's too late to try being otherwise.)
"Oh, you will see! I will make sure Deku gets one from you!" [y/n]'s anger hadn't gone down, even a bit.
"Um! Determination I see." He raised his eyebrows, a faint smile formed on his face.
"I like it. So, I will give you a chance to earn that apology for that midget boyfriend of yours."
Bakugou got more comfortable in the wooden chair that he sat on. Almost as if he was enjoying where the conversation was headed.
[y/n] remained silent but was looking in his direction. She didn't have to say. He went on.
"Let's play a game. Umm...say Chess?" He suggested, looking at a painting of a few chess pieces that was hung by the door.
He went on.
"You win, I will apologize to Deku, and If I do, I will claim something of yours as mine for ten minutes."
"I am in." [y/n] didn't give a second thought. Only if she knew what she was getting to, she might have. If only she knew.

Even The Grinch Needs A Sidekick
Summary- 4k Mike (Me from Playing It Cool) x You. You have been busy, and today is no different. A children's Christmas Party at the hospital where you work is taking up all your time. Mike calls in Scott for some culinary help so you can have a relaxing night. Mike also finds a new friend and brings him home. Fluff. I really don’t think there are any warnings, but if you all pick up on something, go ahead and let me know. The lovely divider made by @firefly-graphics​ Happy Holiday Everyone
A/N- This wasn’t what I had planned for this chapter. But you know what, sometimes the story just does what it wants, damned if the writer wants that. I do love it though. 
Previous Chapter- Tonight It’s Scrooge McDuck
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You tugged on your scrubs, having pulled out your favorite pair with The Grinch dressed as Santa Claus, Max with his single antler and little Cindy Lou Who with her red Christmas bauble. You hummed while grabbing your bell earrings when Mike came into the bedroom, glancing at you all dressed up for the hospital. “What's the occasion?” He questioned while turning you around and looking you up and down. 
“A group of us are going down into the children's ward to hand out some presents. I know I'm not supposed to wear the decorated scrubs, but it's once a year. Tomorrow I will go back to those boring as fuck ones.” You leaned up to kiss him swiftly before stepping around him. “But I'm going to be late, and I have an order of cookies to pick up on my way to work.” 
Mike followed you out, unlike you, he wasn't in a rush anywhere. It was a few days before Christmas and just as he had promised, he was about halfway done with Brian's script. The detective drama story line spoke to him a bit more than the rom-com scripts he was stuck with last time, and was finding it a hell of a lot easier to spend his day thinking about. 
You were busy packing a bag with some stuff you had picked up for the kids, and Mike grabbed a bagel he wrapped earlier, toasted lightly with cream cheese as well as a to go mug of coffee, you were distracted and listing off your to-dos when he handed them to you. “Don't forget to eat, and I got dinner tonight.” 
“Oh thank you, I know i have been all over the place the past week.” You paused when you saw what he had and took them to set the mug beside your bag, and pack away the bagel while continuing to talk to him. “You know… tonight is Chopped, and I shouldn’t be late tonight.” You bit your lip in a grin and turned to face him. “We might be able to beat our record.” Hinting at a bedroom game you two played, just for the hell of it.
Mike's eyes crinkled in the corner knowing well what you were playing at, reaching out to grab the front of your shirt and ease you forward into his arms, a grin softening his features as he wiggled his brows. “Think we will beat our time tonight. It's been awhile since we’ve messed around.” His hands slid down to cup your ass cheeks through your scrubs, making you arch into him, and you chuckled while easing your arms around his neck and tilting your head to press your lips to his, teasing darts of the tongue dragging against his bottom lip before pulling away, not letting the kiss get to that deep needing way. That has caused you to be late before and you weren’t going to let yourself be late today.
“That will have to wait till tonight Mike.” You wink at him as he groans as if waiting was not in his plan. “See you later tonight, and smile Baby, no being a Grinch just before Christmas.” You shouldered your bag and backed to the door to stay out of his reach, and slipped out the door with a grin. Mike snapped the door open as you were heading down the stairs. 
“Love you to Y/N” He shouted, and you waved back at him before disappearing from sight. Mike closed the door behind him, and pulled out his phone to scroll through his contacts. Hitting Scott’s name, he pressed dial and waited through the rings before a groggy voice answered. 
“What Man, it's 7 am, what in the hell do you already want Mike?” Scott snapped out and Mike grinned hearing his best friend. 
“Good Morning to you to Scott, are you still up for helping me tonight?” Mike asked and Scott groaned out a yes before hanging up. Whistling Mike grabbed a piece of toast and went to his computer to get to work. A text came through a short time later, a grocery list for Mike to pick up. 
Tumblr media
Mike was coming back from the store with the ingredients Scott sent him a list of when he heard something shuffling in an alleyway he was passing. His head tilted when he heard the whimper that shifted into a scared woof, and Mike turned partially into the dirty alleyway, a particularly smelly dumpster half blocked it from sight and the light bright street seemed to grow into a darker ominous presence the further he stepped in, listening intently for that noise again. “Hello?” He asked cautiously, and all that filled his mind was somebody stashed behind the disgusting dumpster, and then he would be pulled into questioning by the cops… 
I really gotta stop watching those dramas Y/N liked so much he thought to himself as he peered into the edge of the dumpster to see nothing then dirty black garbage bags that had been torn into. Nothing unusual. But under the dumpster came a whine, rather pathetic, and Mike looked down between his feet to see a black nose with streaked white fur peek out with a loud sniff against his shoe, and a tilt had it grabbing at his shoelaces that were half hanging loose. “Hey!” he exclaimed and backed up to see the nose disappear back under the dumpster.
 “Here boy… or girl, whatever you are.” Mike called while shifting to a kneel while setting his groceries aside and landing carefully on his palms to lean down and peek under the dumpster. At first there was nothing to see, but then a puppy was trying to wriggle its way out the other side, on its belly with its back legs stretched out behind him. 
Mike was quick to bolt around the dumpster to see the puppy almost out from underneath it. Covered in mud and who knows what else, his head much bigger than the rest of his body, Mike was able to nab the puppy on the nape of his neck and pick him up, which he hung there growling and barking, his hind end and tail curled up in the fetal position. “Okay little guy, just hold on. Promise not to bite me and I will quit holding you like this.” Mike folded his arm to cradle under the puppy’s backside, and let him lean against his chest. He weighed practically nothing, it seemed all his matted fur made him appear bigger then he actually was. Once he was supported, he quit squirming and studied the man. All while Mike studied him back, now unsure of what to do with him. 
Big brown eyes started to droop as a wet black nose bopped against Mikes, and that sealed the deal. Sure there apartment didn't allow dogs but Mike couldn't just leave him there. “Guess you're coming home with me. I already know Y/N will be thrilled.” He grabbed his bag of groceries and made his way back to the apartment, sure to rush up the three flights of stairs and try to shift puppy, and groceries into one arm to get his keys. The puppy ended up wriggling in his arm and he set him down between his shoes to dig out his keys from his pants pocket while the wide eyed mutt peeked around his leg and bounded down the hallway, yipping. “No! Boy get back here.” Mike shoved the door open, along with the groceries before he sprinted after the fleeing canine to get him back. Scooping him up, he rushed back towards his door when the neighbor poked her head out. “Mike, what are you doing?” 
“Uh nothing Mrs. Beatrix… Sorry to have bothered you.” He waved one handed over his shoulder while trying to contain the squirming pup in his arms. Once he dipped into the apartment, half tripping over the bag of groceries, Mike slammed the door shut and set the puppy down, who dropped nose to the floor and started weaving back and forth. 
“Listen man… if this is gonna work out, you have to help out.” Mike said, kicking off his tennis shoes and grabbing the bag to bring to the kitchen, right behind him was the pitter patter of nails on linoleum and while he was emptying the bag of stuff for Scott, a pair of paws pressed against the back of his calves. A loud whine issued, and looking over his shoulder, he chuckled. “Hungry, arnt ya kiddo? Okay, lets see if Y/N has any ham left over from the night before.” He turned and searched the fridge, the puppy right there with his head stuck in it as well. 
Tumblr media
It was much later when Scott came over, Mike was working on his script as well as keeping an eye on the new house guest when his ears perked to Scott entering the apartment, his arms filled as well with a couple bags that he set down. 
“Uuuh, are you babysitting someone's dog?” Scott asked curiously while his shoes were getting inspected. And Mike snapped his laptop shut to look over the edge of his desk at them. 
“No, I found him wedged under a dumpster. I couldn’t leave him there.” Mike dropped his hand and gave a soft whistle, which the pup gave Scott one last sniff before barreling back to Mike which scooped him up into his lap, scratching behind his ears. 
“What do you think Y/N will say?” Scott dropped his bags onto the counter and started to unpack and add his ingredients with the stuff Mike had picked up earlier. 
“I think she will be secretly thrilled.” Mike ruffled the pups ears and then set him back down on the floor. He moved to a stand and crossed into the kitchen to scrub his hands clean. “She loves dogs and watch her insist we keep him.” 
“Even when your landlord doesn't allow dogs here?” Scott was asking with a slight laugh while peeling open all the spices, and Mike took his time making faces down at the pup while drying his hands. 
“Eh, hes hardly around and we will figure it out. Besides, I would like to get out of this building, nothing ever works. Last week the hot water was out for the hundredth time it seems. This block always loses power first and last to get it back. Time for an upgrade, Brian already has another script for me to work on after this one finishes. If I really work on it, I should be done right after Christmas.” 
Scott grimaced a bit, but kept himself turned away from Mike while listening to him. “You know… a break afterwards might not be a bad thing, You’ve been writing steadily since before October. I know you're on a streak, but you have to come up for air sometime.” 
Mike shrugged at Scott. “Hey, I gotta take the pieces where I can get them right? Money is good and getting my name known will help in the long run. It's nothing I can’t handle. I know I’ve been distant a bit with Y/N, why you are here today, teaching me how to roast a chicken.” 
“I don’t know how you convinced me to do this. What person doesn't know how to cook a meal for their partner? You two have been dating for two years and this is the first time?” He scolded Mike while grabbing vegetables to give a rinse in the sink. The pup had planted himself between the two men, his ears perked while swinging his head back and forth to listen. 
“Take out, out to dinner, breakfast? I don't know, it just hasn’t happened. But tonight my man, with your help, I’m changing that. Y/N has been working hard the last couple weeks, and I know this will make her feel special.” Mike rolled up his sleeves, preparing to help Scott with whatever he needed while winking at their guest. “And who better to help me then you? You and Neil took all those cooking classes together. So what is on the menu tonight?” Mike leaned in to look at a bag, which Scott shooed him out and reached in pulling out the last thing Mike expected, a whole chicken. 
“Roast chicken, garlic baby red potatoes, a nice side salad, and rolls. You really can't get easier than that, and it speaks sophisticated.” Scott informed him while placing the chicken in the sink. 
“Easy? Dude that's a whole damn bird.” Mike scoffed while coming around the counter. “What do you want me to do with it?” 
Scott was already going through the kitchen, grabbing cooking pans and aluminum foil. “Well you can start with unwrapping the chicken and giving it a rinse.” 
Mike gave the chicken a look and took a breath. “No big deal, right pupper?” Mike directed at the puppy, who yipped in excitement and tipped his head back to give a cheeky howl, making both the men laugh at his reaction. 
The crash course into cooking had Mike's head spinning. Scott had him chopping, dicing, sprinkling seasonings, tossing stuff together and when he finally got the pans into the oven, he took a deep breath. “Okay what's next?” Mike was now on his toes, ready for the next project but Scott was busy washing his hands. 
“Now you wait an hour, check it by popping one of the legs near the joint and seeing if the juices run clear. Also let it rest when you take it out for good, or else it will be dry as hell.” Scott informed while drying his hands. “Also you need to get cleaned up. And give the poor dog a bath.” Scott leaned down where the puppy scooted away from Mike and sniffed at his fingers, giving them a lick first and then a playful bite which Scott shook his finger loose from the tiny teeth. Mike watched a moment before checking his phone. 
“Y/N will be home soon, so I will get on that. I bet he's a pretty cute pup under all that dirt.” Mike leaned down to pick him up, and Scott straightened, grabbing his reusable grocery bags and tucked them under his arm. 
“Text me tomorrow to let me know how it came out and we on for Saturday at the bowling alley?” Scott approached the door and Mike followed, turning the pup around to wave his paw at Scott.
“Yes Uncle Scott.” Mike mimicked in a joking high pitched voice, leaving Scott rolling his eyes at his friend. 
“Bite him would ya? You still got those sharp baby teeth.” Scott let himself out and Mike twisted the puppy once more to face him. 
“What an ass huh?” Which rewarded him with a resounding woof in agreement and a nip at the end of his nose. “God damn it, you weren't supposed to listen to him.” Mike grumbled while retreating to the bathroom, knowing the timer would let him know when to check on the chicken. “Okay, what's safe to use on you?” he questioned while setting the pup down in the bathtub and pulled out his phone to google while starting to put warm water in the tub. 
Tumblr media
You trudged up the apartment's stairs, a few gift bags hanging off your arm from some of the long time residents at the hospital. You were exhausted and really looking forward to opening up that bottle of wine you’ve been saving and crashing on the couch with Mike. 
Jingling keys from your coat pocket and letting yourself in, the first thing that you noticed was the smell of chicken and potatoes wafting in from the kitchen, making your stomach roll in hunger and your mouth water. Following your nose, you went to drop off your bags when you called out “Mike? Where you at?” You had expected him to be in front of his glowing computer screen, where he usually was when in the middle of writing a script, but not tonight. 
“Will you stop it? I'M IN HERE.” You heard him call from down the hallway, and after you toed off your shoes, you started down to hear something whining and splashing. 
“Mike… what's going on?” You question as you stop at the bathroom doorway to see something you never expected to see. Mike was kneeling next to the tub and hanging off the edge was soggy paws and a soapy puppy giving the most pitiful look up at him while wagging his tail, sending a trail of water and soap spreading all over the room. 
“I said cut that out!” Mike wailed while reaching to catch the tail and squeeze out the excess water from it before letting it go, which just started the sloppy wagging again and a howl now while Mike attempted to rinse him off. “Welcome home Baby.” 
You just melt at the scene, grabbing a towel off the counter and unfolding it while Mike moves to a stand, picking the soaked dripping pup with him and you go to wrap him up in the fluffy towel. “Mike, where did you find this sweet baby?” You croon as you go to gently rub him dry, cupping his face and smiling at him. 
“Well… Under a dumpster a few blocks away.” Mike let you take the pup in your arms as your gently swaying him back and forth, still crooning and nuzzling him while hes giving licks to the tip of your nose. “I couldn't leave him there.” 
“Absolutely not.” You turned to leave the bathroom, leaving Mike to drain and rinse the tub while you brought your new friend out to the living room. Having him still wrapped in a towel, you settled on the couch and started to unwrap him from the towel, seeing his little yawns as he curled up on your scrub clad thighs. “Who would just leave you out there all alone little baby?” 
Mike finished up, taking a quick peek at his chicken, which had turned a deep golden brown, and the scent of sage and butter wafted from the open oven. Pulling it out, he listened to you talking to the puppy while setting it on the counter to let it sit before cutting into it. 
“Wine?” He called out while pulling out your favorite glass, already knowing the answer when you resounded a yes from the other room. Pouring it, he went back in to sit down next to you, handing you the wine and tossing his arm over your shoulder to pull you in closer. Tucking in his side, you hummed softly while softly petting the snoring pup in your lap. 
“We should think about what we're going to do with him.” You sigh a bit, scritching behind his ear while he twisted in your lap and went belly up, your fingers tickling along the pink of his belly. 
Mike considered it, letting his own fingers trail along your shoulder. “Why not keep him? We only have a few months left of our lease. About time we move right? Maybe something bigger.” 
You had never heard Mike talk like this, like in the future setting. He had always been in the moment, by the seat of your pants kind of man, and you were always a bit nervous to even bring up the future with him. You cleared your throat a bit while looking up at him, straightening a bit, which jostled the puppy just a bit and woke him up with a whining yawn, stretching in your lap. “You really want that Mike?” You searched his face and he shrugged, a tinge of pink along the top of his cheeks. 
“Well I wouldn't mention it if I didn't Y/N.” He teased while reaching for the pup who started to wriggle around in your lap, and set him down on the floor before pushing himself to a stand. “Come, I actually made a real dinner and you still gotta tell me about work. Did that intern drive you crazy today?” He efficiently changed the subject, which you let him. Slipping into his hold, you went to help him in the kitchen. Leaning over the counter as he transferred the chicken, you inhaled deeply. 
“You made this Mike?” you asked incredulously with an arched brow, waiting for him to confess that it was an order in and he made it look homemade, but he smirked at you while starting to carve. 
“I will have you know I made this myself.” 
You gave him the look, the one that demanded the ultimate truth. 
“With Scotts help, okay. But I did the work.” Mike plucked a piece of chicken loose and held it to you, which you popped in your mouth, licking at your lip and grinning at how it tasted. Reaching for another piece and plucking a piece to give to the puppy waiting patiently at your foot. “Scott just instructed me on what to do.” 
“His classes are paying off. Maybe he can become our free instructor.” You joked while going around the counter to finish helping Mike get stuff ready and for the first time in a while you two sat at the table instead of crashing in front of the tv with junk food. Soon plates were pushed aside, full from the excellent food and tired after the long day, you went to take a quick shower while Mike cleaned up the kitchen. 
Coming back out dressed in sleep shorts and a tank, you found Mike laying on the couch with the puppy standing on his back legs, front paws on the couch trying to jump up. Mike scooped him up onto the couch with him, whispering to him. “Looks like your staying boy, what are we going to name you? Buster? You almost look like a Buster.” You approached the couch and Mike shifted enough so you could lay down along his side, half wedged on him and between the couch, laying your head on Mike's shoulder. 
“Hmmm, what about Scout?” You wiggle your nose at the puppy, who efficiently ignored both names, proceeding to chew on Mike's shirt, the Christmas lights on the tree being the only glow in the room. You smiled and whispered out. “Hey Max… look at me.” 
Which the brown and white puppy immediately perked up, and Mike shook his head. “Max? Why Max?” 
You grinned while watching Max perk up every time Mike said his name, your giggle muffled against his shirt. “We needed a Christmas dog name.” Then you hummed out Your A Mean One Mr.Grinch. “Max can be your sidekick now Mr.Grinch.” 
Mike gave a laugh, running his fingers along your hips, making you laugh out and trying to pull away. Max growled out, barreling against you and Mike to tug at Mikes hand, and you grasped the pup to set him aside gently so that you two rough housing didn’t end up getting him hurt. 
“Seems like he is more your sidekick Baby.” Mike smirked as he pulled you in closer to him, flushing kisses against your neck and rubbing up and down your back. You settled back in against his chest. “Ready for bed?” He asked, calculating how many hours were left so he could write a bit after you fell asleep. 
“Mmhh, it was such a nice evening, I hate to end it so soon.” You tilted your head up to press your lips to his and Mike pushed up to a sit. 
“We will pick it up tomorrow. Besides, I should probably take the rugrat out to potty, now that it’s dark out.” 
Your arms eased around his neck and you gave him a more passionate loving kiss in thank you, and eased up. “I will see you when you come back up Mike.” Max sat there watching the two of you and you ruffled Max’s ears, then headed to the bedroom. Mike watched you go down the hallway and then looked to see Max had ditched him to go check out the tree, sniffing excitedly when Mike's eyes sprang wide to see him pop a squat. 
“Max! No!” Mike yelled, springing up to catch the pup.

The last day of the camp Kuroo decided that he had had enough. He watched as {Y/N} laughed and smiled with the rowdy Karasuno boys. They had been friends for ten years, and now she wouldn't even speak to him. He waited till the {H/C} girl had gone to get water for her team. He followed her earning confused looks from his team. Kenma stared at the spot where the captain once stood. 'This is not going to end well.' he thought.
“{Y/N},” Kuroo called running after her. Hearing her name her blood ran cold. Two weeks she had gone without this confrontation. It couldn't be avoided forever. She turned and looked at him with cold eyes. The taller male gulped. She had never looked at him like that before. “We need to talk, don't you think?” he all but demanded. {E/C} eyes narrowed in anger.
“And if I say no?” She challenged, voice as monotone as she could make it. “Honestly Kuroo, you are-”
“Kuroo?” He cut her off. “You have always called me Tetsu, or Tetsuro when you're mad. Since when was I demoted to Kuroo?” He couldn't keep the hurt out of his voice. It almost caused {Y/N}'s resolve to break.
“Since you told your girlfriend that I was nothing more than a sister to you.” His eyes widened in shock. She heard that?
“Thats not what I meant.” He stuttered with his words. “She was asking all these questions on why I was so close to you and-”
“So you chose to lie rather than to tell the truth? Even after all this time you are still choosing to keep that summer  a secret? God, for being so smart, you're so god damn dumb Kuroo!” She began to raise her voice but quickly calmed down, knowing that everyone would be able to hear her yelling.
“That's what this is about? You agreed to keep it quiet, not just me {Y/N}!” He argued.
“You didn't give me much of a choice.” Her voice was shaking at this point. Her eyes glistened with tears once again, everything about that night was coming back to her. She locked eyes with Kuroo, causing the male shrink back. “I never wanted to be a secret. I just wanted to be with you.” Her voice got quieter with each word she spoke. She turned away and began to walk away to fill up the water bottles again.
“I'm done with this conversation. Go back to the team.” She waved him off. Watching her disappear down the hall he was left to wonder, how long had she been holding in these feelings. Walking back to the gym he was met with the curious eyes of his team, and a scrutinizing glare from Fukurodani's captain. Did Bokuto know something that he didn't in regards to his best friend? No, he supposed he didn't have that title anymore. Watching the older Kozume walk back in with a fake smile on her face he realized, he hadn't had that title since last summer. Knowing that he had lost someone who was always there, hurt more than he had imagined.
Tumblr media
Later on at the barbecue, Kenma kept sneaking glances at his sister and then back to Kuroo. Even though they were acting like everything was ok, he knew that whatever they had talked about built a bigger rift between the two. He put his attention back to his game and began to wonder if things were ever going to go back to normal. He was interrupted from his thoughts by a plate of food being put in his face. He looked up to the {E/C} eyes of his sister, who had a soft smile on her face.
“Here, eat.” She pleaded sitting next to him, a plate of food for her as well. He paused the game taking the plate, while looking at her.
“Are you ok?” he questioned. “When you came back from talking with Kuroo your eyes were misty, like you had been crying. What happened between the two of you?” She looked down at her feet before ruffling his hair.
“I'm not ok, but I will be don't worry.” She gave him a small smile. As she went back to eating Kenma figured that she was not going to answer his other question. Looking over at where Hinata was talking to Kuroo and Bokuto, he noticed that Bokuto was glancing over at his sister every once in a while. He figured that it was to make sure she was doing ok. He had been the one to deal with drunk {Y/N} after all. He was drug out of his thoughts by his sister once again.
“Anyway, I'm gonna go save Yachi from the crowd. Eat Kenma.” He watched her interact with the young manager, her smile wasn't forced like when she had returned earlier. Yachi bowed to her in thanks, but {Y/N} just waved her off. It was then he realized, that she hadn't been ok for a while.
Tumblr media
It was later in the evening and the boys were packing up their belongings getting ready to leave. The rest of the Nekoma boys had headed down to the bus, leaving Kuroo and Kenma to grab their things. Kenma turned to his friend and saw the dejected look on his face. In the group setting he could laugh and pretend that he wasn't hurt, but with just Kenma he let his guard down. Kuroo saw Kenma looking at him and sighed.
“She’s done with me officially. I don't think I can fix this anymore Kenma.” The younger boys eyes widened. He wasn't expecting Kuroo to actually tell him. “I broke her trust then lied to Akemi about who she was to me because I wanted to be selfish. She heard me say she was only a sister to me, but that wasn't true at all. She was more, but I was too scared about what people would say to do anything about it. I broke her, and it hurts to know I can't help her.” Kuroo quickly wiped the tears that came down his cheeks. Kenma was shocked, he had never really seen the taller male cry before, but was even more shocked at his words.
Kenma wasn't blind to what happened last summer, but he never wanted to bring it up for fear that a fight would happen. He sighed and gave Kuroo a pat on the back before grabbing his bag and heading towards the door. Kuroo turned to look at him, slinging his own bag on his shoulder.
“For the record, the team was rooting for you two.” Hazel orbs widened, “We all thought you'd end up together. Give her more time. You might not get her the way you want to, but I believe you can be friends again.” He continued while walking out the door. He rushed out the door to follow Kenma down to the bus. Not today, but one day he would make this right. As the two boys got down there he saw Bokuto and {Y/N} standing together laughing. Kuroo realized that even though he broke her, Bokuto would fix her. He gave the two a small smile before getting on the bus.
Tumblr media
{Y/N} smiled at the owl haired man before her. He was pouting because he wouldn't be able to see her for a while. He complained that he barely got to spend time with her, even though she had pointed out that it was a volleyball training camp.
“You do know you have my phone number right?” She asked the taller man. This just caused him to pout more, in turn causing her to laugh harder. Bokuto perked up at the sound. He loved the melodic sound and it made him smile a bit, but he went back to pouting to keep the ruse going.
“Its not the same as seeing you in person you know.” He grumbled turning his face away. If she had seen the blush on his face he'd never live it down. She glanced up at him one final time after hearing the coaches call for the students.
“Hey Bo,” she began getting his attention back on her, “When you qualify for nationals, I'll take you out to for yakiniku.” She said with a bright smile on her face. The blush came right back to his face, but he noticed that she had one as well. He returned the smile with a bigger one of his own. Without even thinking he pulled the smaller girl into a hug. It startled the girl before she relaxed and hugged him back.
“I'd like that.” He whispered in her ear before letting her go. They both headed to their own buses with smiles. Once she got on the bus she took her spot next to Kenma, humming a small tune. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes. He saw her content face and small smile. She was happy. He turned and locked eyes with Kuroo, who also noticed the change in the girl. It broke his heart to know that someone else was taking his place, but it was all his fault. Pulling out his phone he sent a quick text before shutting it off.
Kuroo: Take care of her. Don't make her cry like I did.

Day 29 #Grief
Whoops. I actually ended up writing a short piece for this one as well and uh... I think I accidentally created a new ship... :O
To Mourn Together
By: sophi-s (me)
Franchise: Darksiders video games
Words: 1 961
Warnings: None
Characters: Uriel, Nathaniel, Abaddon (mentioned)
_________________________________________
With utmost certainty, one could say it was one of the brightest nights in the White City. Of course, with the buildings in the color of gilded snow, every night seemed bright. But that one particular night the full moon spilled its cold, silver light all over the angelic city, bathing it in a pale glow that reflected in the smooth surfaces and illuminated the warm darkness as the gentle gusts of wind blew through the quiet and empty plaza.
Aside from the sentries patrolling the streets, all of the Heaven's denizens were long asleep in their homes. All of them.
Except for one.
A figure of a lonely angel threads lightly through the city, grand white wings folded neatly at his sides, just like his hands behind his back. His golden battle armor is discarded in favor of a simple set of clothes. There's nothing threatening him after all. Lost in thought, he doesn't acknowledge guards greeting him as he passes by. He walks seemingly without purpose, reconsidering the not so recent events.
Your friend serves the Shadow.
The Archon? Corrupted?!
Impossible!
Leave me, Horseman. I must think of what to do now…
He shook his head with an exasperated sigh. One hundred years. It's been over one hundred years since all of this happened. And yet, all this felt far too fresh in his head. As though it happened merely yesterday. Sweeping his gaze over his surroundings, he realised he'd left for the outskirts of the White City, where the grand Tree of Life stands tall and magnificent as it has since the day Heaven was created. But to his surprise, he wasn't alone here after all. At the foot of the Tree, his keen white eyes spotted another angel. A woman. The same silver hair, any other angel possesses, fluttering on the wind, wings of golden, radiant feathers slumped sadly against her back as she stood there, gazing out at the locked gate to the Well of Souls. Strange. He assumed he would be alone.
Since he wasn't trying to sneak up on her, she heard him approach quite early and whipped around to face him, her own robes billowing, but the moment she laid her golden eyes on him she simply sighed.
"Oh. It's just you, Nathaniel.."
"So it is."
Nathaniel murmured, silently wondering who she'd been actually expecting, and stood for a few long moments, looking at her. A black ribbon with a darkened feather tied around her right wrist caught his attention and something twisted painfully in his chest. Even blackened and bathed in Hellish corruption, the ribbon was unmistakable and the feather spoke for itself..
"What are you doing here, Uriel?"
He found himself asking nonetheless. It's been a long while since they last talked. After all, Nathaniel had been sent away from the Hellguard shortly after Uriel joined their ranks. And it was so long ago.. Humming quietly, Uriel turned away to look up at the Tree's tangled canopy of small fluttering leaves.
"A year…"
She sighed when Nathaniel came closer and stood beside her, watching her stare into the black sky where the moon gazed down on them like a gigantic, round eye.
"It's been a year since Abaddon died.. exactly a year, day to day."
Nathaniel nodded in agreement, looking at Uriel's fingers absent mindedly stroking the end of the ribbon tied around her forearm. Even though he'd been away from the White City for quite some time, rumours about the commander of the Hellguard reached Nathaniel even in Lostlight. If they were true, then no wonder Uriel takes Abaddon's demise so personally. He could only imagine what was going on in her head throughout this year. He wasn't going to stop her from spitting out what she'd been choking up inside of her.
"And yet.. I still sometimes wonder. If I should've done something. Stopped War… I don't know."
"He'd been the Destroyer, Uriel. As much as I disagree with it, you couldn't do anything else for him."
Furrowing her eyebrows, Uriel huffed and lowered her head.
"I know. But… I still have this in my head. The sight of him reaching out to me for help. What if…"
She hesitated, something that was very unlike her. Nathaniel raised his eyebrows curiously, waiting for her to speak up. He had his suspicions from the moment Death brought the news of Abaddon's fate and he couldn't help but wonder if Uriel thought the same way.
"I refuse to believe he'd planned it from the beginning. What if all of it wasn't his choice? He can't have been in his right mind! What if before War killed him, in his last moments Abaddon, the real Abaddon, came back? What if… there was still something worth saving in him?"
Nathaniel's suspicions turned out to be true. She thought just like he had. Now it was his turn to look up at the sky. Indeed, there was something so enchanting about this particular night..
"I wondered myself, Uriel. Many times in fact…"
The younger angel crossed her arms and glared down at her boots as though they'd done something wrong. The branches of the Tree creaked mournfully as the wind tugged on them and ruffled feathers of both angels standing below. Its gusts were getting stronger and its voice whistling against nearby structures brought to mind a sorrowful cry of a lost soul.
"Abaddon taught me everything I know. I had known him my whole life. It feels so… empty without him."
I can't believe he's gone. That's what she truly meant to say and Nathaniel knew it but said nothing of it. He knew that feeling quite well. Better than most. Abaddon had been his friend after all…
"Sometimes I feel like he's still here. Watching over me like he always has.."
Uriel chuckled humorlessly, as though she meant to laugh off the ridiculousness of her claim but Nathaniel didn't feel like laughing. He laid his hand on Uriel's shoulder, nearly making her jump in the process.
"Who says he isn't?"
He could clearly see her jaw visibly clench tightly at his assumption. Not that he could blame her. Nathaniel knew all too well what Uriel was going through. He didn't want anyone to feel like he does and he wished to offer her comfort, compassion. But it's not easy to do so while he grieves as well.
"Do you think I could've changed it?"
Uriel suddenly asked, making Nathaniel's eyebrow wander up.
"During the initial Endwar.. Do you think if I was a little faster back then…"
"Uriel."
The deep tone of his voice had just the result he was counting on as she cut off to finally look him in the eye. Nathaniel placed his other hand on her other shoulder and said sternly
"Even if so, it doesn't change anything. We can't turn back time. Thinking this way won't make you feel better."
"And how could you possibly know?"
It was just the matter of time before Uriel snapped and brushed Nathaniel's hands from her shoulders. There was fire in her eyes, burning like the hottest blaze of Hell.
"You don't know how I feel."
Frowning gently, Nathaniel heaved out a long suffering sigh.
"Quite the opposite in fact.. I know exactly how you feel…"
This seemed to have given Uriel a pause.
"I've known Abaddon even longer than you have. He was my close friend, one of the very few I had. When the news of his fall reached me I kept wondering if it would've been different if I was there. This one, wretched thought stayed with me for a whole century, like a festering wound that refuses to heal. If you seek understanding, I assure you, you will find it in me."
Would it have been different if I knew of the darkness that threatened Lucien? Sometimes he still has those doubts... In shock, Uriel opened her mouth a couple of times only to shut it again as she couldn't find suitable words. Until..
"I'm… sorry. I had no idea…"
With an unhappy smile, Nathaniel shook his head. He wasn't going to take offense. Grief does strange things to people. Uriel snapping at him wasn't the worst thing that could've happened.
"Past cannot be changed. Blaming yourself will not bring you peace of mind. We must march into the future."
Snickering quietly, Uriel looked away.
"You speak words of wisdom.. But I cannot decide if they help me either."
Humming thoughtfully, Nathaniel measured Uriel. Her heart was bleeding profusely, even though she kept it hidden away. He knew how to recognise inner turmoil. From his own experience.. Fortunately, he knew just the way. And honestly, after all this.. Abaddon's treason, Lucien's collapse into the hateful darkness.. he probably needed it as much as she did. Carefully, but insistently, Nathaniel reached out to Uriel and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Nathaniel? What.. are you doing?"
Uriel didn't stop him, probably because of confusion and surprise. Not getting pushed away was a small victory in itself. He was more than happy to explain it to her. Going back to memories of that peculiar human who accompanied Death everywhere always warmed his heart.
"A good friend of mine had told me once that embraces can bring comfort. Especially in sorrow. Does it help you ?"
For a long moment Uriel didn't answer. She was thinking. Up this close Nathaniel could feel her heart rapidly hammering against her ribcage. But then she finally returned the embrace and placed her head on his chest with a heavy sigh.
"It does. Even if a little.."
A tiny note of wonderment in her voice was barely perceptible but definitely there. For a few minutes both angels stood like that in silence before Uriel spoke again.
"Do you think he's at peace? Abaddon, I mean…"
Staring at the shorter angel in his arms, Nathaniel harrumphed. The Charred Council was surely bent on condemning Abaddon, sentencing him to damnation even after his death. He only hoped that the Horsemen made short work of them before they were able to fulfill their dire promises and cast the already tormented soul into Oblivion. Nothing was sure. The only way to confirm either was to travel to the Kingdom of the Dead. Nathaniel couldn't say for certain that Abaddon has his rest or if his spirit in this very moment wastes away in nothingness. The mere thought made his stomach churn. But he didn't speak his fears out loud. He didn't dare.
"I do sincerely hope so…"
An answer as good as any, he supposed. It wasn't a "yes" but neither it was a "no". Perhaps it would be just enough..
"Thank you, Nathaniel.. I'm glad you came here…"
Somehow, an odd, heavy presence lingering about was abruptly lifted from the air when Uriel whispered into the edge of his coat but stayed motionless where she was, unwilling  and not ready to pull away just yet. Mourning is always easier with a companion. For just a second Nathaniel could've sworn he saw something… someone… move out of the corner of his eye but just as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone. It was most likely nothing. Just a fleeting trick of his imagination. Nathaniel rested his chin on top of Uriel's head and closed his eyes, listening to the wind blowing gently overhead and to her heart beating right next to his own. Two different rhythms that seemed the same. He didn't wish to leave just yet either. Luckily, he didn't have to. There was no need for hurry. It was still the middle of the night. No one will see them here, vulnerable and weak, slowly mending their broken hearts from the pieces.
They still had time…

Bear with me, I just wanted those sad dorks to lift each other's spirits up. It's not my fault that I'm so trash 😂
At least I drew Nathaniel properly, as I promised :P

Follow the Beacon Raven—Strictly Girl Time
[Link to Masterpost]
[Get in loser we’re going shopping (jk I love you all)]
"This one’s nice, but the red’s a little bright," Summer said, waving a sleeve in Raven’s face.
She backed away on reflex and swatted at it. "What are you doing?"
"Checking the color against your eyes. Ooh, this one’s not bad," Summer said, lifting one in a darker shade from the rack—though it had some ugly green ruffles along the cuffs and hem. "The lace wouldn’t be too difficult to pick off, and then we could put on some black trim instead. Unless you’d rather have black for the main color and use red for accents? There’s always lots of options in black."
"Um… I think I’d prefer long sleeves," she said, eyeing the dress’s thin straps. Gauntlets covered her brand most of the time, or the long-sleeved Beacon uniform, but either of those would be out of place at a party.
"Let’s look at black, then," Summer said, replacing the dress on the rack and rifling through the others. "I don’t see anything over here."
"...Why did you learn to sew?" Raven asked, following her down the aisle. From what she’d gathered, most students shared Tai’s attitude toward the skill—and then there was Summer, who could rival a lot of small towns’ tailors. She almost hated to admit it, but Summer was probably a little better with making new things, even if Raven was far more experienced with repair.
"The first year after we moved to Vale was hard. Dad had just died, and I couldn’t talk to any of my old friends…" she went quiet for a moment, hands hesitating on the fabric. "And we were living at Signal with our uncles while we looked for a house. Mom’s family made armor, so she grew up sewing. We made my Halloween costume together that year—she was trying to make me feel better, and help me get used to Vale since it was so different, and it just… we got a lot closer." Summer looked back up, beaming. "Halloween’s been my favorite holiday ever since!"
"That’s nice," Raven said, inspecting one dress that had good sleeves, but the gold applique on the waist looked too difficult to remove so she put it back. "We only learned so we could fix things. But it’s probably more fun when you’re not doing everything by hand."
"Ooh, what about this one?!" Summer demanded, holding up a long, flowing gown. It was fairly plain but the fabric was good quality. "It's practically a blank canvas!"
"I'll try it on and make sure it's big enough."
"I'll see if there's any curtains or skirts in your red we can take apart," Summer cackled, speeding out of the row.
Raven let her face slide back to neutral as the Huntress vanished. She still hadn't said anything about that night—but she would, there was no question. Raven had never seen her so angry.
The fitting room door creaked as she pulled it closed and slid the flimsy latch into place.
What did Summer expect from her? Qrow would know what to do—this all came so naturally to him. Talking to the teachers. Joining in Summer and Tai's jokes. Raven only felt lost.
If they got caught it would be her fault.
If they died it would be her fault.
The dress slid easily over her head, hanging loose on her shoulders as she tugged the skirt down over her pants. It was a little too big—perfect for altering—and the sleeves were form-fitting enough to hide her wrist. It would have to be enough.
"Raven?"
"Here." She didn't give herself time to think about it and headed back out into the store.
Summer beamed. Red spilled from her arms—she'd found the curtains she hoped for. "Do you like it?"
"Um—" Raven glanced down at her arms. The thought hadn't even crossed her mind. But the style was simple and elegant, and the silky fabric draped in a way that was…well, dramatic, fluttering around her ankles when she moved. "Yes. I do."
Summer squeaked happily, clapping awkwardly but excitedly around the bundle. "Perfect! That was easy. Change back and let's grab something to eat, I'm starving."
Raven nodded, retreating back into the little stall. It was a nice dress… and it would be good to have something in her own colors. The armor that Beacon let her commission was the best clothing she had ever owned. And probably worth more than everything she'd ever stolen.
Most Branwens wore raided farmers' clothing, and that went double for the children. No point in making something better for someone who would grow out of it in a year.
She pulled her hair out from under her collar and finished tugging her shirt into place, staring at the dress hanging from the back of the door. Someone in Vale had thrown it away, basically. Something richer than Raven ever had before entering the Academy. She'd never thought of the tribe as poor, but now the idea sat as out of place in her mind as a parrot in a snowstorm.
"Come on," Summer said eagerly, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the line for the cashier. "Any ideas how you want to spruce it up?"
Raven stared at the dark silk in her hands. The Huntress had to be doing this for a reason, and she couldn't stand the waiting anymore. "Is this about Qrow?"
"Nah, I wouldn't ask him to wear a skirt again."
"...You know what I mean." Her fury that night, shoving Raven away from her brother. Sitting with him until they both fell asleep in each other's arms. She didn't really think either of them had done anything, but it still… felt like it meant… something.
What if it meant he wouldn't need her anymore?
Summer's brightness dimmed slightly, to a more manageable level. "…No, it's not about Qrow. It's about you."
Finally. They could get it over with.
"Yeah, see? That's what I mean. You hate me." She frowned, reconsidering for a moment. "...Or you hate everyone and I'm just next to you. I don't think I've ever seen you talk to someone who's not on our team…"
"I—I don't—"
"Raven, you don't have to like me," Summer said. That was… unexpected. "But we need to be able to work together and we can't do that if we're always at each other's throats. ...I'm the team leader, I'm responsible for making sure the three of you are okay. I just… I need to understand you better. What… what do you really think about me?"
About Summer? She was a Huntress. Completely at home in battle and fearless of flying in ways that made Raven feel ill just to think about. There was fire inside her—the same roaring blaze Bones had, and that Raven and Vanta could only ever hope to imitate. She was flawless strength. A forceful leader. Everything Raven wished she could be.
And yet, she coddled a man while he cowered and cried because of a dream.
"I don't…" Raven scowled at the dirty white flooring, trying to find words for the frustration. "I can't understand you. So many people in our class have never even left the cities—they have no idea what the world is like, but… you do. You've lost people. Lost your home. You've lived at the edge of the wild and at least have the sense to understand that there are things you don't know, things you haven't seen. And yet you still… you still hold onto childish things. Like the comics." She looked back at the Huntress's face. "I don't get it. What good is that fantasy?"
"I know the world is dark and horrible." Summer stared her square in the eye. "I'm going to make it better."
Raven snorted, without thinking. "What makes you think you can fix the world?"
"I didn't say fix." The words were as unyielding as her stance. "As long as we have Choice, some people are going to make bad ones—but I'm not going to stand on the sidelines and watch it happen. I'm going to make things better."
"...and the comics?"
"Gotta know what I'm aiming for. And, y'know, it's fun."
"But you'll never win."
"Well, all the best goals are unattainable."
Raven blinked. "…Huh?"
"I'll never be the best Huntress on Remnant, but I'll be better for trying. We can't eradicate the Grimm but we can't stop fighting. Nothing will ever be perfect—but that's not an excuse to give up. It's the reason that we can't."
Raven's hands tightened on the fabric as her gaze slid back to the floor. "...I don't think things can get better."
"But they have!" Summer said, surprised. "Look at what humanity has done in the past sixty years! The four Kingdoms are working together, fighting the Grimm instead of each other. You know two years ago had the lowest number of Grimm fatalities in recorded history? People are living longer. There's less hunger. Things are slowly improving between humans and the faunus. Child mortality is the lowest it's ever been. We're eradicating diseases—everything has gotten better."
The cashier beckoned them forward, and Raven set the dress on the counter while Summer handed over a few Lien. "...You didn't... really want to become a huntress, did you," she murmured. "You came here because of Qrow."
There wasn't a reason to lie. "...Yes."
"Well… what would you do? If you could do anything you wanted, what would you be?"
Anything? She'd get out of this den of lions and go back where she belonged, with Qrow and Vanta and Bones, where she was free and powerful, with the promise that one day they would lead their people.
But Bones was dead. Their only way forward was to kill Vanta. And Qrow…
"I can't do whatever I want," Raven said. "That's not how the world works."
Summer snorted. "And that's not how the game works. Come on—you're both safe no matter what you choose. You can go anywhere in the world and do anything you want. Even if it sounds silly." She scanned around the store, looking for something, and her eyes fell on a poster. "You could be a, a movie star! Or a Councilwoman!"
A Councilwoman. Raven nearly laughed—wouldn't that be rich.
"Okay, okay, I get it," Summer said, accepting their bag and thanking the cashier. "What about a teacher, like Professor Mesánychta—you like working with her, right? Or—oh, or a sailor! You could work on boats and see the world. And they're always hiring Huntsmen for protection, Qrow could go with you." beat "Being a Huntress or a farmer aren't your only choices."
...It had been nice. The salt smell of the ocean. Wind strong enough to make her feel like she was flying, without the sick twist in her stomach. Nothing on the horizon to hide attackers and some kind of Dust machinery scanning for Grimm below.
But no. The tribe—her family—needed her. She'd go home.
Wouldn't she?
"I don't know," Raven said, praying it was a lie. "...What about you?"
"Me? I—I've always wanted to be a Huntress. I…" her voice trailed off, brow furrowing. "...I'd go back to Anima and visit my dad."
"The… one that died?"
Summer snorted, but somehow in a way that didn't make Raven feel stupid. "No, the one that can fly and shoot lasers from his eyes."
How did she always do that? No matter what she said it never felt like an accusation. "I… I meant… why haven't you?"
"Mom always said it wasn't safe." She glared at her knees, hands tightening on the bag. "I guess… I guess I always knew someone killed him. I just didn't want to believe it."
Gods, what was she supposed to say? People weren't supposed to talk about the dead. "...I'm sorry."
"You two don't talk about family besides each other. ...Did you ever… get to meet your parents?"
"We knew our father." Raven answered, but the Huntress seemed to expect more. "He… started our training. Before the Huntsman. ...He was good to us."
"Let's write them letters."
Raven was startled enough to meet her eye. "Huh?"
"Since Mom and I can't visit him we both write him letters instead, and burn them so they'll reach the afterlife." Summer dug the receipt out of the bag and tore it in half, leaving two hand's length pieces. "I promise it helps. Here—" she grabbed a couple pens from the basket next to the register and passed one to Raven along with half the paper.
"But—"
Summer grabbed her hand and dragged her over to the furniture section near the front window, plopping down on a little couch and dragging Raven with her.
But it was stupid to talk to someone who couldn't talk back, and weakness that she still wanted to. "...I wouldn't know what to say."
"Just tell him you miss him," she said, spreading out her scrap on the short table placed between the rows of seats and beginning to write.
Raven stared down at the pen. This was objectively pointless.
Hello— she hesitated for half a moment, but no. It was too strange. —Bones. The words were tiny, too small for Summer to read over her shoulder. I miss you. I know it makes me weak. I don't want to stay in this place. Her eyes stung. They're going to kill Qrow and it's going to be my fault because I can't pretend to be one of them. I don't understand them. I don't understand him anymore either. He wants to die. It hurt when you died. It hurt so much I can still feel it burning sometimes. I wanted to learn from you and not Huntresses. If I tell Qrow how to control the tribe then he won't need me anymore. If I stay here they'll kill me. Did it hurt when yo
Raven gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to throw the pen aside and leave. This was stupid—she sounded like a frightened child.
Something brushed her shoulder and she recoiled, but the Huntress pulled her into an embrace anyway.

Are you free ?

imagine having a crush on the new part-timer!Seoho.
you worked at a small book cafe in town called ONEUS. it was a chill and cosy place. if there weren't any customers, you would make some hot chocolate for yourself and read an interesting book.
today was different, you were promoted as a senior part-timer as a new one started working today. his name was Seoho. you recognised him as one of the book cafe's regulars.
it was fun having a new colleague. you didn't really like initiating conversations with others but Seoho's adorable aura made you want to approach him.
"how's work so far?". you asked him softly as Seoho placed a cleaned cup on the rack.
he smiled widely as his eyes turned into tiny crescents and giggled. "it's great! i didn't know working at a book cafe would be this fun! it's very calm and refreshing!".
you restrained yourself from squealing at his cuteness and just gave a forced smile as you nodded your head. "that's good to know. if you have any troubles, just inform me alright?". Seoho nodded cutely and carried on with his job.
you had to admit it , after a few weeks of working with Seoho, you began having a slight crush on him. Seoho was hardworking and would always try his best to entertain the customers or help you and the other workers out. sometimes , you would unconsciously stare at him in admiration instead of reading a book on your free time.
you snapped out of your zone as a soft voice interrupted. "hmm,you really love reading books by Takatsuki Sen huh?".
in reflex, you closed the book and looked up to the owner of the voice.
"ye--yeah, they're very interesting. how about you? do you like reading books?". you asked shyly.
Seoho hummed as he rested his head on his palm.
" i like comics more, honestly. before started working , i used to always hang at the comics corner here. and i still do sometimes when i finished my job.". he replied and scratched the corner of his forehead.
you noticed that he would always do the gesture when he felt embarrassed or awkward. which you thought was cute.
"ahh, i see. well, why don't you recommend some comics to me? i might like and dive into them sometime..". you didn't know why you kept talking to him when your heart was obviously beating twice as fast as usual.
Seoho smiled cutely and bit his lips as he thought of some interesting comics to recommend.
"if you like fantasies and actions , Tokyo Ghoul is pretty good, one of my favs actually. if you prefer romance, Last Game would give you all the feels. Kakao 79 is great too but it is still incomplete. if you lik--ahh sorry , i am babbling too much aren't i?". Seoho listed down some comics but stopped halfway as he scratched his forehead again.
you chuckled and shook your head at him. you didn't want him to stop talking because he was too cute obviously.
"no no , i am open to all of your recommendations really, since i'm kind of new to comics.". you tried to comfort him.
you swore you've never seen his eyes sparkled so brightly after he heard your words.
"really? people always shut me off when i talk about comics. i thought you would be annoyed too if i babble too much.". he explained and pouted sadly.
you unnoticingly mirrored his expression as you patted his head. "aww , it's okay. i love listening to your interests!". Seoho blinked and looked at you with an unreadable expression. your eyes widened as you realisrd what you just blurted out.
" i me--mean, you can ta--talk about your interests wi--with me. i uuhm i have some work so talk to you later!". you quickly kept your book and rushed anywhere away from Seoho before you could embarrass yourself further.
-
it's been a few days since the incident and things were back to normal. Seoho would sometimes blabber about a new comic he just finished. most of the time you wouldn't remember a single thing about his storytelling because you were too busy admiring Seoho and his cute expressions when he talks. you especially love it when he scrunches his nose .
one day Seoho suddenly came to you with a worried expression. you turned to him with concern as he tapped your shoulder lightly.
"are you free later after 3pm?". Seoho asked.
your heart skipped a beat. is it finally happening? a miracle? is he finally asking you out?
"yes.. i me--mean no! i actually have plans with my parents later...". you stuttered and almost forgot your afternoon schedule.
Seoho's shoulders dropped as he pouted. "ahh, i thought i wanted to ask you for a favour to cover my shift later. it's okay if you can't . i'll just cancel my plans.".
you blinked at his words. confused. *he.. he was not asking me out?* . you thought and cried on the inside.
"i--i'm really sorry.". you apologised softly . Seoho waved his hands cutely and shook his head. "no no , i shouldn't have made plans during my shifts. please don't worry.". you felt better as he comforted.
a few weeks later,Seoho approached you with a similar expression. before he could say anything, you bowed to him apologetically and held your hands together. "i'm really sorry Seoho,i can't cover for you today because i have plans with my friend.".
Seoho stopped halfway in his tracks and quickly pulled you up from your bowing position.
"oh no no . please don't be sorry. please. ". you pouted and looked at him sadly. his next moves surprised you. Seoho only chuckled and ruffled your hair playfully. you bet your face was beet red as you felt it warmed up at his light touch.
"i said it's okay, didn't i? don't worry too much, okay?". you only managed to nod, afraid you would blurt out stupid nonsense in your current condition. Seoho gave a last smile before going back to his work station.
a few days after, Seoho walked up to you again with a worried face. no it was more of a nervous one. you didn't know but all you knew was that you tried to keep your schedule free so you could help him out.
"ah Seoho! i am free today so you don't have to worry about cancelling your plans again because i can cover for you! i know you told me not to worry but i can't help it an---". your words were cut off when Seoho called out your name.
he stepped closer and held your shoulders to keep you still and stop you from rattling on and on.
your eyes widened at the sudden contact. Seoho must've been surprised at his actions too as he stared at you with wide eyes. the two of you stayed in that position for a few seconds before you stepped back away from him gently. his arms fell on his sides as he stepped closer and covered the small distance again.
"listen. i've been trying to ask you this since the past weeks but i kept on failing. would you, go on a date with me?". Seoho shyly asked but still kept an eye contact with you.
you gulped at his question. you bit the insides of your cheeks to see if you were dreaming.
*is he really. holup. HOLUP. MY HEART IS NOT READY* you screamed in your head as you cleared your throat.
"it's really fine if you don't want to. i totally und--".
"sure. i would love to.".
"re--really??".
you smiled and chuckled at his reaction. "yes Seoho, i would love to go on a date with you.".
Seoho's cute tiny crescent eyes were formed as he lifted his lips into a wide smile.
"that is great! how about tonight ? after i finish my shift. i will text you the details and we can meet up?". Seoho suggested.
you nodded and gave a thumbs up. "that is absolutely great.".
Seoho was about to walk away but you stopped him quickly.
"wait, you've been trying to ask me since the past weeks? what do you mean?".
Seoho cleared his throat awkwardly as he tried to find the words to explain to you.
"uhm remember when i asked if you were free after 3pm? yeah, that was my first attempt. but you had plans with your parents . and so i didn't want to embarrass myself and told you about covering my shift.. the 2nd time i tried , you cut me off by saying that you had plans again. and today is finally the day i had the courage to ask you directly. no more a coward.".
you listened to his long explanation and felt your face warming up again. you can't believe you've been rejecting him and embarrassing yourself all these while.
"ah. i am really sorry . really. ahhhhh i am so stupid. ". you whined as you knocked your head with your fist .
Seoho giggled and quickly held your wrist before you could knock your head again.
"no it's okay. you are not stupid , don't say that. i'm just glad you didn't turn me down this time.".
you gave him a shy smile as he let go of your wrist only to interwine your fingers together.
" and thank you for trying to keep your schedule free to cover for me, that is very sweet of you." he added.
the two of you smiled at each other for a few seconds before he pulled his hand away gently and ruffled your hair lovingly.
"i should go back to work then.". he said. his body hesitating to separate from you as he walked away slowly, as if you were going to fade if you were out of his sight. you nodded your head and waited till Seoho went to the back.
you swore you heard him squeal. you chuckled and after a few moments of processing that everything wasn't a dream, you went back to work too. though it was a bit difficult to focus.
apparently Seoho had been crushing on you way before he worked at ONEUS.
when he started as a part-timer, you did recognise him as a regular.
Seoho became a regular because of you. he was attracted to you the first time he came to the book cafe. although you didn't really do anything special,your every move was flattering to him.
he had been admiring you from afar. he wanted to get to know you but being the shy boy he is, he didn't. so when he saw that the book cafe needed more staffs , Seoho thought it would be a great opportunity to befriend you and at the same time save up some pocket money.
Seoho was excited for your first date and had it all planned out neatly. Seoho really hoped the date goes well and that there will be a next date. Seoho hoped the precious friendship will turn into a loving relationship.
all these while you thought you liked him first. but in actual fact, the cute shy boy liked you first.
.
.
a/n : yes. i am a fool for oneus now. esp Seoho TT hope you guys love it! andddd dont forget to check out ONEUS and ONEWE ♡♡

~7 AM at Your house~
Authors POV:
You trudged down the cold wooden steps of your home with messy hair and a mind still filled with sleep barely being able to maintain your balance but you managed to make it past the final step of your staircase that led to your front door. You slowly opened it to reveal a very awoke and happy Hoseok and seeing him made your eyes widen a bit , just seeing his smile awoke you a little more and gave you this unknown burst of energy "Hoseok" you chirped not caring about your current messy bed head state and it looked as if Hoseok was gonna say something but changed his mouth form to say something else as he slightly frowned "Y/n you aren't ready?" You snorted "we have an hour and I only need 7 minutes- 10 tops plus I drive now , come up with me and don't worry my parents leave for work at 6 AM so they're not here." You said as Hoseok followed you up stairs to your room. You opened your door with a gust of cool wind hitting you both instantly "I have no idea where that came from" you mumbled letting Hobi walk in first and you following before closing your door behind you, Hobi jumped and turned towards you with a panicked expression as you soon held your hands out in front of you slightly "Relax I just closed my door I'm not gonna hurt you" you said carefully "n-no I just... Never been a girls room especially with the door closed is all" you smiled gently and motioned for him to sit on your Queen sized bed. He analyzed your room he thought it'd be all pink and girly for some reason but instead it was a comfy yet slightly glamorous vibe to it.
"So I was thinking that we wouldn't change your appearance too much but just a few things that's it" you explained while clapping your hands as you finished your sentence "change a few things like?.. " he trailed off "We trade in the suspender pants for some jeans... Your shirt is fine just add a jacket.. Maybe?" You paced back and forth examining Him as his eyes followed your movements. "Ahh Nice, except I don't own such items" "I was afraid you might say that soooo I took the liberty of going to buy some things DO NOT think about paying me back. I bought belts too just in case so here" You tossed the bag to Hobi and he caught it with one hand and no struggling "you got a good arm you'd be good at football you know" and now it was His turn to snort "no thank you risking getting hurt and never recovering is a sacrafice I'm not willing to make" you laughed "touche however, you should go change that door between my closet and TV is my bathroom I'll wait here of course" you smiled "be back in a sec" and you hummed in response. About 3 minutes passed and you sat on your bean bag chair waiting for Hobi to reappear, In that time you thought how sweet he was, how his hair shined ,and his perfect rosey cheek ,with the gentlest voice and aura about him...you smiled to yourself and soon you looked up to see him directly in front of you causing you to jump a bit "oh sorry I didn't mean to startle you" he chuckled but all you could do was stair at his new outfit. His floral bomber Jacket went well with his White T-shirt and ,slightly rolled up light blue jeans that fitted him not too much but also too little and to top it off his already white shoes tide it all together even more and you were almost drooling.
~Hobi's Outfit~
Tumblr media
"So?" Hoseok finally said as he thought you had enough time to analyze his appearance "damn Playboy" you mumbled "pardon?" "Huh- what? Oh I said you look good" you quickly stood up looking at Hobi in his eyes and they were so beautiful in the slightly dim room due to it being cloudy outside . You were now so close his nose could touch your forehead if you weren't looking up at him you didn't know he was this close to you until now.. Not that you minded "you clean up good Hobi" you mumbled as you smiled and messing with his bangs a little "thank you Y/n... Should we head out?" "Uh of course right after I get dressed , fix my hair and brush my teeth" you giggled as Hobi checked his watch "we still have 35 minutes go on" he said shoooing you away.
It took about 15 minutes this time around because your hair was such a mess but you were finally ready .
~Your Outfit~
Tumblr media
(If you don't like.. Whoops, add ya own shoes)
"Ready" you said putting on your sunglasses and heading towards your bedside table drawer to grab your keys. You didn't notice but Hobi was staring at you the same way you did him as he followed you out your bedroom "close my door behind you please" you said and he quickly did so and soon Came downstairs, you locked the front door as you both came out and headed to your car.
Once inside you both buckled up and the first 2 minutes were silence until Hobi broke it "Anything I need to know before we really do this?" You raised your eyebrows still looking at the road ahead as you drove "like things to do and say and not..." He looked at you "ohhh that? Pshh no the main thing is not to let anyone intimidate you, don't back down because most of the time the 'tough' are softer than sheep Wool ,kill them with kindness if you want and as for girls they loooove a charmer" you explained as Hobi nodded understanding "Hobi I don't want you to fake too much I want you to be yourself as much as possible" you quickly glanced at him "myself isn't popular though... This isn't me already" he mumbled while gesturing to hie clothes "do you want to change back?" You asked him "no" you nodded "do you like the clothes?" "Yes" you smiled "then this is you. A new one" he chuckled "do you like the new me then?" You quickly looked at him shocked and he added "as a friend I mean" you looked a little at ease "well.. I like you either way" you said softly looking at him as you came to a stop sign. His eyes widened "really?" You giggled "yes so, if you wanna go back to how you used to be that'd be just fine with me" he grinned "thank you Y/n" as you looked back at the road "mhmm and think I've never noticed you I always seen you around since 8th grade but believe it or not I didn't approach you because you didn't seem like you wanted to be bothered" you explained. Hoseok looked at you in disbelief " me? What about you? Your body guards made me the same way towards you" he laughed "who Jalen and the other boys?... They think they are protecting me but I can hold my own you know? Besides I like everyone I treat everyone how I wanna be treated" Hoseok just nodded in understanding. "By the way don't be afraid to ruffle his feathers.. Jalen's that is, show him 2 can play this game mmk?" You said "got it" you smiled as you pulled into your schools parking lot. "Well this is it you ready?" You asked looking at Hobi while taking your keys out of the ignition and grabbing your bag and he smiled at you "since 8th grade".
~inside school~
You guys walked in and of course you turned heads but he did even more and he was surprisingly okay, you looked at everyone with a genuine smile as usual "wink" you mumbled so Hobi could hear "gotcha" he whispered under his breath as you smiled up at him as he winked at you first making you feel shakey with happiness 'easy girl' you thought. He winked and some girls gasped as he grinned looking ahead 'this is working!' He thought to himself.
The moment came were you stopped at your locker which was on the same side as Hobi's but devided by the hallway and of course your friends were there and of course some were facing your direction as other's backs were facing you both. "Hey heyy" you said happily "wassup.. Yo who told you to bring-" Jalen was soon cut off by you "me" you said nonchalantly ,Hobi nodded at Jalen making him growl lowly "good job" you whispered as Jalen turned away. "So tell me... What's your name?" Your friend Aubrielle said as she came towards You and hoseok, you rolled your eyes 'this hoe' you thought "I'm Hoseok Jung, you can call me Hobi though" you looked at him surprised he was handling all so well no stuttering, no blushing, no shyness either! It was like he was born for this but then again, he did say he'd been ready for this since 8th grade. "Well Hobi I'm Aubrielle and your date to the party this Saturday" she winked "girl- I know you-" you started to say but Hobi soon finished "sorry but I'm going with Y/n" he smiled "you are?" She asked "mhmm" you smiled proudly "are you guys like.... " she raised her eyebrows looking between you two "yes- wait what do you mean?" You asked "a couple" she finished....
.......
"Well yeah" you said surprisingly confident and Hobi looked at you smiling "when the hell did this happen!!?" Jalen yelled hitting the locker a little hard causing everyone to back up a bit "lower the voice" you warned as he came towards you both, you grabbed Hoseok's hand and squeezed it slightly he instantly knew it was 'stand your ground time'. "You think you somebody now cause you're dating her?" he said getting in Hoseok's face "been somebody just better known now" Hoseok said happily and you could tell he was killing him with kindness.. A great method if you have the patience to play nice "and to answer your previous question it happened last week, we've been meeting up for study dates and we made it official yesterday by the school gates" you smiled widley and Hobi did as well but Jalen did not seem to care "anyways. . . You're still broken languaged trash so head back home to China yeah?" Jalen said making Hoseok frown "easy Jalen" you warned "his English is spectacular unlike yours hence why you can't pass a single language or pronunciation test go fucking study.. you need it you bastard" you seethed pushing past him and pulling Hobi along. "By the way it's Korea not China" Hoseok turned his head to say with a Wink.
Hoseok was shocked like everyone who had witnessed what just happened you really weren't one to play with.
Soon your first class bell rang and when you both walked in the teacher wasn't there and only a few other students were. Sprawled on desk, chairs ,the window base, you and Hobi went to your seats, you sat in the very back on the right near the window as he sat in the middle of the first row on the opposite side, you looked at him and decided to move beside him . Hobi looked at you surprised "I wanna sit next to more 'boyfriend' " you said winking at him making him blush for the first time since you'd seen each other today "hold on let me get my bag" you quickly scurried to the other side of the room. Just then Jalen came in with the other guys and Hoseok looked at him before rolling his eyes and looking in his bag but soon he seen hands on his desk and a shadow over him. He looked up glaring at the person who he already knew was Jalen "what're you tryna prove boy?" Jalen whispered dangerously low to Hoseok "nothing.. what're you trying to prove?" He smirked and Jalen sighed "you'll never be one of us" he motioned to himself and the boys behind him making hoseok laugh lighlty "trust me I'm not trying to be" "then why are you all of a sudden hanging around Y/n?" Hoseok leaned towards looking Jalen directly in the eyes "because I can" he smirked "you can't and you won't Continue to" Jalen growled
"says whom? " every comment Hoseok said made Jalen's blood boil "because I said so" he said lowly while slightly hitting the desk but not phasing Hoseok one bit. That's when you came back "what's going on? Jalen mo-" "nono Y/n let us talk" Hobi said as you watched them closely while sitting down "you were saying?" Hoseok chirped "you won't continue hanging around Y/n that's it" Hobi just sighed leaning back in his chair "but I will" he countered.
Jalen smirked and walked to the side of Hobi and crouching down to his his ear level "no you won't because I know your secret. I know you paid Y/n for this 'act' I'm not sure how much but it had to be a hell of a lot... So unless you want everyone to know how desperate you are for popularity... You'll go back to being the nobody you always were, and still are despite this facade" Jalen said before standing up completely "show your face at that party Saturday and it all comes out" he simply said ...Hoseok wasn't going out like this "As I said before... I've been somebody and as for your little proposition.. I'll sleep on it" He said glaring up at Jalen but Jalen simply shrugged with his hands in his pockets and walked away.
Although he was still confident Hoseok did slightly start to doubt his plan... Did he want to embarrass himself? Embarrass you?
"What happened?" He heard a whispered voice and a soft tap on his shoulder and he took a moment before he answered "maybe we should cancel all this" Hoseok mumbled looking at his fingers that sat in the desk top "what? No! absolutely not, what did Jalen say to you?" You asked "he says he knows something about our deal and says if I show my face at the party Saturday... He'll expose it all". You Shook your head "nah.. Not happenin ,I won't let it and we're still going through with this... He wants to send threats then let's show him who's the puppet masters" you said smirking. "You still wanna do this?" He asked surprised "hell yeah I do don't you?" He was a little weary "yes but-" "no buts babyboy we got this , I got you, and you don't worry about anything but showing up and looking handsome" you said while leaning over touching his chin and boy did his heart skip a beat "I can do that" he said.
"You're going down Hoseok" Jalen growled lowly from the back of the class at what he just witnessed.
"You're going down Jalen" you said to yourself so only you could hear.
Hobi knew in this act someone's cover would be blown and he hoped that it wasn't his nor yours because he didn't wanna let his and your work go to waste, especially his because he'd waited for this for 5 years and being near you was so much fun even though it was fake... That is if it was even just fake anymore because to him it was becoming slightly more and he wondered if maybe just maybe if you felt the same.
