#t: First Date

Painland & Palasaki — Escape room double date AU

AU where somehow (well meaning friends? names picked out of a hat? someone lost a bet?) Charles, Crystal, Edwin and Niko are set up for a blind double date: Charles with Niko, and Crystal with Edwin. (Dealer's choice if Edwin's not out yet, or this was pitched to him as a friend date not a romantic thing, or whatever.)

At first it's awkward because Crystal and Edwin clash, and Charles and Niko are too nice, so conversations are stilted. And then it's awkward because it's clear that Edwin gets along much better with Niko and Charles has a lot more to talk about with Crystal, and everyone finally agrees to swap dates.

And then it gets awkward again because they do an escape room, and Charles and Edwin get way into it and start bonding into their detective duo rapport, while Crystal and Niko casually solve a couple of minigames together that the boys haven't even noticed yet because they were so convinced the upside-down exit sign must MEAN SOMETHING. The pairs reshuffle yet again into Painland and Palasaki by the end of the night.

and finally, some things that i believe now and will always believe in the future: that friendships can last a lifetime, that communication is our greatest invention, and that MY FISTS CAN PUNCH OUT GOD

y'all ever think abt how it was julie having the affair and it is even said multiple times that she was the one who left him, yet wilson was still the one who left their home and moved in with house. like. he couldn't bear to stay in their home alone. he immediately ran to house and stayed on his couch for weeks. suffered through his pranks and his laziness and his manipulation. telling him he wants him gone while sabotaging his attempts to leave. and he only left once he got a girlfriend again.

I LOVE UR BRAIN SO BAD 😭😭😭 YOU ALWAYS POST THEBBEST HEADCANONS AND THOUGHTS LIKE. WORK HUSBAND GOJO. AND JUST HAVING A WHOLE IMAGINATION OF THE OFFICE W NANAMI AND HIGURUMA AND TOJI I?????? I WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR BRAIN

TEEHEEEE you’re so sweet <33333 the work husband to actual husband to househusband gojo pipeline is so so real to me and the office au that comes with it truly does take up space in my brain, so here’s some more loosely established points 

satoru has been your work husband since you got your first job in undergrad. you two met in your dorms, and became friends, and eventually you thought a job would help with your time management skills, so you got a very low-maintenance position at the front desk of the library. satoru applied right after you and schmoozed the two little old librarians into giving him the same shifts as you. that was probably the first moment satoru knew he was a little bit in love with you—because he had no reason to have a job while in school, but this small change in your schedule made him miss you so much that he was moved to get his very first job, probably ever, just to spend more time with you. 

he wasn’t bad at his library receptionist job, but he technically wasn’t good at it, either. if a student asked him for a laptop charger or to check out a book or something, he could do that, but anything else he’d just smile and say, “oh, you’ve gotta ask the pretty girl right there about that, she knows way more than me,” and bat his eyelashes at you. except, then, when you did need to get up to grab something for someone, satoru would just spring up instead, and tell you he’s got it. it’s like… he was incapable of helping anybody else unless he got to flirt with you, and then help you out to help them out……… strange boy 

anyways, satoru makes it a habit to assist you through your student jobs throughout undergrad, and then follows you to the same law school and repeats the process there. (also not to elle woods-ify him a bit but his father heavily questions him going to law school btw because satoru has never showed any interest in working, let alone following in his footsteps to be a lawyer, and now he’s going to law school? his mom is a bit sharper though, because when satoru tells his parents he’s going to the same law school as you, she just smiles and sips her tea and wonders if her son has already made a trip to their family jeweler). 

the firm is large, but the floor you work on is a pretty close knit group. there’s hiromi’s office at the tail end, which is the largest because he’s managing partner and he practically lives in there. on the other end, both you and nanami have decently sized offices. satoru doesn’t like hiromi at first because he thinks he’s mean. then satoru watches him play a little prank on kento, and suddenly the two of them are best friends. it would be a surprisingly wholesome friendship if their common denominator wasn’t irritating kento, and acting as guard dogs for you. 

kento’s office used to be just the bare necessities—law books, his degree, basic furniture, maybe a fancy paperweight, until satoru got his hands on it and decked it out. which is not something kento asked for, nor he thinks is necessary, but that doesn’t stop satoru from continually adding little trinkets and decorations and art to his office to make it livelier. when kento first meets you, he’s surprised when you tell him satoru gojo is going to be your secretary because kento interned for satoru’s father for two summers during law school, but when kento sees you and satoru together for the first time, it answers all of his questions. satoru couldn’t be more of a lovesick fool if he tried. 

listen the ex-convict to single father to janitor to lawyer toji pipeline is so real to me. while toji is working as a janitor at the firm, satoru slips once and then jokes that toji shines the floors too aggressively on purpose to make him slip, toji tells him to fuck off and he can sue for harassment. they truly don’t like each other at first, but once satoru steals toji’s masterkey to get into your office one night after you’re gone to leave flowers, and handle some paperwork to lighten your load in the morning, toji is sort of impressed. he still almost hits him with a broomstick, but even someone as gruff as him can see that satoru had pure intentions. toji is a lot of things, but he’s not immune to or devoid of love or passion. so, eventually he and satoru develop a weird sort of banter and respect for each other. one day someone actually tries to accuse toji of not putting the wet floor sign down and how it’s gonna be a lawsuit because some lowlife janitor fucked up his $3000 suit. satoru catches the argument as he’s heading upstairs and recognized the schmuck as the stuck up lawyer on the other side of kento’s case. satoru’s ready to jump in, but toji’s displaying an impressive amount of physical restraint and legal knowledge that when the dust is all settled, satoru asks him if he ever considered being a lawyer. toji laughs at it at first, but after a month of serious consideration (and megumi becoming a college freshman), he figures it can’t be all that bad. and turns out, toji’s a half-decent lawyer—once you’ve spent so much of your life skirting (or blatantly breaking) the law, you become pretty good at getting people out or around it, too. and with his life experience, he’s a pretty good judge of character; so when it comes time to lock up the bad ones, toji makes sure they get the maximum sentence.

except he has a bad habit of sending out emails with “URGENT: NEEDS ATTN” in the subject, which prompts you, kento, and hiromi to rush to his office, just to see toji with his feet up on his desk tell you that, “the emergency is i hate the opposing counsel, and now that i work on this side of the law i’d really like to not kill him, so somebody else should take this case.” 

anyways back to work husband secretary satoru. he pulls you out of boring meetings under the guise of an urgency, just for him to admit that the emergency is that he missed you, and you two were gonna be late for your lunch reservation. because he’s actually a licensed attorney, he can actually carry out duties an associate otherwise would, which saves you a lot of time and trouble; and it means that satoru gets to work even more closely with you, which is always an upside for him. sometimes you ask him to hand you documents and instead he just hands you his hand. and then pretends to blush and preen like a schoolgirl which always draws way too much attention to the two of you, but there’s no way to stop him either. he takes your coat off of your shoulders when you arrive in the morning, and helps you put it back on in the evening. when you tell him you’re looking for an apartment closer to the firm, he has eight places lined up for viewing, and one surprise at the end which happens to be the other vacant penthouse suite in his apartment building; which, conveniently, would make you satoru’s neighbor. he claims that it’ll be just like in college, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way when you finally move in and satoru can now loudly and proudly proclaim, “see you at home!” in the halls at work now.

Every day I am reminded that I would rather die than watch 911 if it was written by some of the “fans” on here.

10 years ago today I publicly came out as trans :) guess it wasn’t a phase

[tommygotwrittenoff]

listen, buck doesn't actually miss t. like yeah maybe he misses dates and kissing someone and sex, but that's him missing the relationship, not t. i think what is driving buck insane is the fact that t was able to see he wasn't buck's last. he saw something in buck that made him not even want to try. and that's what keeps driving buck to call him, he wants to know because he's been trying for years to figure out why all his relationships fail and t knows but didn't explain.

Painland & Palasaki — Third wheels

Post-canon, post-Niko rescue/return. Crystal tells Charles she feels like she's ready to pursue a relationship... with Niko. But since they got Niko back, Edwin has stuck to her like glue.

So Crystal begs Charles to please grab Edwin and go do whatever you guys used to do together so Crystal can have time with Niko. Charles might be sad Crystal's lost interest in him and Edwin's not been around. But he's a Good Guy so he agrees. All the stuff he and Edwin used to do together feels like dates now, and Charles realizes he's been lowkey wooing Edwin for ages, so lowkey he didn't know it himself.

Sadly that's when Edwin finds out this flood of attention from Charles was just to give Crystal and Niko time together, and he's heartbroken. Niko can't believe Crystal and Charles schemed instead of just telling Edwin the situation, and breaks it off. On cases Edwin and Niko team up, leaving Charles and Crystal working together. I can't figure out how it would resolve from there, so now it's a prompt!

It's such a fanficcy trope for a character to be like, 100% convinced that their love interest is the hottest person in the entire galaxy and everyone knows and agrees with that intuitively, without realising that said character is in fact somewhat above-average at absolute highest and they have merely been blinded by a love they yet refuse to internally admit. But unfortunately for Kakeru, when he says that Yuki is absolutely smoking and that literally anyone with eyes would imagine themselves kissing him after talking to him for five minutes, he is in fact being fully and entirely objectively correct in-universe.
