Hi I see you're opening request, so I'm here to ask for one. Thank you so much!

Plot: Zayne anger and his punishment when he find out you lied to him and get yourself in dangerous.

anon are you a mind reader?! 👀 bc I've had a draft of this sat in my wip folder for ages!!!

Hope you enjoy!! 💕

Sorry isn't enough...

Zayne x reader

Warnings: angst, lots of angst, no comfort, Zayne is mad (and possibly ooc)

Might do a part 2 (with a happy ending as an apology for this)

Zayne doesn't yell. In fact, in all the time you'd known him you couldn't remember ever seeing him lose his temper. Sure he got annoyed with you sometimes, mainly when you ignored his advice or turned up at the hospital with yet another injury, but it never boiled over into anger. He'd scold you like a child, giving the occasional icy glare, but nothing more. So when you limped into his office today, an hour late for your appointment and caked in dirt and dried blood, you were prepared to receive another lecture about safety from your primary care physician.

The minute you opened the door and took the first unsteady step into his office, you knew something was off. The air held an icy chill, causing a shiver to run down your spine, the tension increasing with every step. You could feel the pressure of Zayne's eyes on you as you approached his desk, piercing green gaze scrutinising every aspect of your appearance, taking note of every scrape and bruise, every smudge of blood that stained your skin and clothes.

"You're late." Emotionless and cold, his voice shattered the uncomfortable silence that had been present since you entered his office. Swallowing thickly, you finally meet his eyes, and immediately regret it. His expression is hard, brow furrowed and his lips pressed into a thin line. His eyes which usually hold a tenderness whenever he looks at you are dark, and swirling with a storm of fury. Zayne is pissed.

Opening your mouth, the apology on the tip of your tongue quickly dies at the sound of Zayne's exasperated sigh. "If you're planning on apologising I'd suggest you save your breath. I have neither the time nor the patience to listen to whatever feeble excuses you plan on giving." His harsh tone hits you like an avalanche, burying you in the disappointment that is practically radiating from him. "I've warned you time and time again to be careful, to prioritise your safety and yet you seem determined not to listen. I've lost count of how many times you've limped into my office. You refuse to listen to my advice yet you come to me whenever your recklessness results in another injury. Tell me, do you insist on continuing this foolish behaviour until it undoubtedly causes your death?!"

A lump forms in your throat, eyes fixed on the floor as you desperately try to hold back the tears threatening to fall. Every cruel word Zayne seethes is another knife to your heart, cutting deep and carving themselves into your flesh. And despite your best efforts, you can't stop the choked sob that escapes your lips. Because it hurts. Seeing the man who has always treated you so gently fuming with rage, steely glare freezing you where you stand, forcing you to endure the brunt of his anger. His words melt together, flooding your mind and making your ears ring as they echo on repeat inside your head. You're so overwhelmed by the crushing weight of his disappointment that you don't even realise you're crying until a cold hand touches your cheek, thumb wiping away a single tear. His breath fans your face as he exhales a tired sigh, "come here, let me see your wounds" his voice is softer now, having lost its previous venom but his outburst has left a sour taste in your mouth. You pull away from his touch, shaking your head slightly as you wipe away the tears that stain your cheeks.

"I can take care of it myself...I wouldn't want to inconvenience you any further." You utter, keeping your voice steady and void of emotion. "Don't worry, you won't have to deal with my reckless behaviour anymore. Goodbye, Dr Zayne." Turning away from him you quickly make your way out of his office, ignoring the calls of your name, determined not to let him see you fall apart completely. With each step you can feel your heart breaking more, bleeding out and flooding your chest with every crushing word Zayne spat at you. You're not sure where you're heading, vision blurring with tears, you just know that the last place you want to be is with Zayne.

riverdale presents: into the woods

(it is important, for the purposes of this episode, that hiram lodge has introduced a new drug to the market: evil jellybeans (NOT to be confused with jb jones of course). they're called glimmer beans. it appears he made them as a jab at gladys. they function with the same vague hysteria-inducing properties as jingle jangle and fizzle rocks. but theyre evil jelly beans. timeline-wise literally don't worry about it theyre all still in school but in a world after the heathers episode surely. i also dont care about how long this episode is. ok carry on)

JUGHEAD is playing THE NARRATOR of course. he opens the episode with "once upon a time," changes the far-off kingdom bit to be about riverdale, and we go into a heavily-cut version of Prologue: Into The Woods. for the purposes of this episode, literally just so we can perform prologue, let's say that penelope has decided to try to get polly declared an unfit mother again so she can take custody of juniper and dagwood. alice is ready to go to war about this. (i wish we had a child- i want a child- etc).

polly, meanwhile, is still kind of brainwashed at the moment- edgar had left news of a successor, a King, and she won't stop talking about it; betty is of course deep in investigating how this might tie into the gargoyle king and etc. at the end of the episode prior polly received an invitation to some kind of sinister festival and obviously betty is going to track her there (the king is giving a festival- i wish to go to the festival- etc). it's then a hard cut, in the Jarring Riverdale Cutting Out Verses fashion, to the come little birds verse, switching between cheryl and toni and veronica, where cheryl and toni are searching for whatever dirt penelope is leveraging to even have a case to be suing polly for custody, while veronica is leafing through hiram's study, trying to find evidence that he's behind the glimmer beans. neither endeavor is successful, and it cuts off Into The Pot with penelope and hiram interrupting them, and all three make up excuses and head out for school. (it cuts to into the woods it's time to go i hate to leave i have to though etc)

as prologue continues, the characters make their way to school, inexplicably taking routes through fox forest to do so. we get some shots implying riverdale high is, itself, also in a metaphorical sense The Woods, and then the song reaches its end and we get the classic running through the auditorium to their chairs onto the stage before everyone takes their seats with the final And Home Before Dark. GAY KEVIN, who is DIRECTING, is ecstatic. "welcome to into the woods," he declares, and welcome, indeed.

in classic riverdale musical episode fashion, gay kevin starts going over the cast list. CHERYL has declared herself LITTLE RED and will be happily wearing her awesome hunting cape for the rest of the episode. ARCHIE, he says, will play the BAKER, and VERONICA will play THE BAKER'S WIFE. JOSIE will be playing THE WITCH as she is the one who most deserves to play the most slayful role in the musical. BETTY is playing CINDERELLA. REGGIE is CINDERELLA'S PRINCE and SWEET PEA is RAPUNZEL'S. FANGS is JACK. TONI is CHOREOGRAPHING but ALSO RAPUNZEL because i think it would be funny if for the opening night shots they have her in a really long wig that gay kevin has clearly painstakingly put pink streaks into. we might even see him losing his mind working on it in the background of scenes sometimes. ETHEL is JACK'S MOTHER cause i think her voice is suited to it again not that it really matters she's not gonna be singing jack's mother's parts in this episode of course. half of these castings DO NOT MATTER as everyone will just be singing literally anything, as is again classic riverdale musical episode fashion. but they announce them anyway bc that's how it goes here.

MILKY WHITE, it's important to note, is a prop cow that looks incredibly haunting. here are pictures of the milky white from my own high school production of into the woods, because i think she was beautiful and perfect. something like this will just be chilling onstage in the background of scenes and we have to live with it.

on opening night of the musical, standing with the rest of the cast at bows is THE MYSTERIOUS MAN played by ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA HIMSELF. this is not addressed.

the cast announced, gay kevin has everyone clear the stage for a run-through of It Takes Two with archie and veronica. the two are fighting at the moment, though, so though it starts out going fine, by the end it's a mess (complete with a whole lot of ronnie flipping her hair in his face with the beloved whoosh sound effect). we get shots of the others watching in the auditorium with varying degrees of horror/entertainment. it ends with them running offstage, frustrated. gay kevin wonders as he always does if he's directing a trainwreck.

out in the hallway, archie and veronica fight. archie's been distant, lately, self-destructive- he's been realizing some things about himself and he doesn't really know what to do about it, and their relationship is falling apart. veronica is like "much like the lyrics of our song, you've changed, archiekins! why can't you tell me what's wrong?" and frankly what's wrong is he's starting to realize he likes men. he can't answer her, though, and veronica shakes her head and turns away. it's clear to them both that this isn't working, and she breaks up with him, telling him to come find her when he can admit to whatever's bothering him. (she doesn't want to admit that she's also realizing some things and has also been distant.)

we cut to jughead arriving home and then he freezes. gladys is back, and before he can react, she's like "listen i know you don't want me here but hear me out" and explains how she's back in town because she thinks hiram's glimmer beans production was intended to draw her out and she wants to know why; she thinks jellybean might be in danger. jughead, who was clearly doubting her beforehand, is visibly affected by the thought of jellybean being in trouble; he agrees, begrudgingly, to help gladys out.

(we can also have a scene of alice singing Stay With Me in her usual insane manner somewhere in this episode. i'm not sure where to place it really but. well it's alice. i'm sure this makes sense)

we then cut to betty, who is trying to confront polly about her newest cult activities, and cheryl, who is trying to confront penelope about how she's managing to build a case for custody of juniper and dagwood despite all the crimes to her own name. polly gets all excited to talk about it, and penelope is like "why, the second King, of course," and then the two of them go into Giants in the Sky, skipping the second verse. we get a classic Lili Reinhart Baffled And Judgmental Face. while the song is going, we cut to toni- while cheryl has been distracting penelope, toni's gone to snoop one more time, and this time she manages to find some incriminating evidence. as the song ends, we don't see what she's managed to find, just the terrified look on her face, and then we cut to commercial.

the next scene opens on veronica, pissed off about the weird archie situation and unsure what to do, and she finds reggie and suggests they rehearse. the two of them sing Any Moment, and end up kissing at the end, but veronica pulls away. she thought this was what she needed, but it's not right, either- something is still wrong, something she can't explain. she tells reggie as much and then leaves him on the stage, baffled.

veronica texts betty and asks if they can talk; surely, she figures, betty will have some #girlbestfriend advice to offer. betty is gonna tell her about the polly cult situation, but when she arrives they end up first talking about the whole reggie and archie and neither working out thing (A Very Nice Prince) and end up getting closer and closer as they sing (is he everything you've ever wanted?- would i know?- well, i know- etc etc) and it's incredibly Charged. "when you know you cant have what you want, where's the profit in wishing," betty sings, inches from her at this point, and it means a little too much, and something Clicks, and veronica kisses her. AND SCENE!

we cut back to jughead as he enters the bunker, meeting gladys and some serpents we don't know. he's wary and clearly doesn't want any part of this, but agrees as she tells her his plan- she's gonna try to infiltrate the glimmer bean trade with a couple of serpents, enough so she can try to get close to the source and find out what hiram wants from her. he hates the idea, but thinks that hiram's new drug just happening to be this close to his little sister's name feels like enough of a threat that he'll agree to pretty much anything gladys is planning.

he ends up calling archie on the way out of the bunker and asking him to meet up at pop's. he's hoping archie will keep an eye out for jb while he and gladys work on investigating hiram, but when they meet up and he tells him as much (but doesn't mention gladys) archie is like hell no i'm not letting you go up against hiram alone. jughead shrugs and is like they kill me off at the start of act 2 i can go use that time to investigate as long as you get veronica to make sure hiram comes. archie tells him he and ronnie broke up and jughead tells him he's sorry and archie's like don't be, it wasn't working out, and i need him to deliver this in the most Meaningful Way Possible while studiously Not Looking At Jughead. they sit in silence for a minute before jughead's like i should go- and starts to make his way out of the booth & archie catches his wrist and it's Charged. and archie's like. promise me you'll be careful, okay? and jughead gives him one of those Charged Looks you know the ones. before agreeing. and then he leaves and archie sits there for a long time afterwards.

we go to toni, now, rushing to tell cheryl the shit she's found out, but when she gets to her room cheryl isn't there. nanna rose is, though, and when toni asks she tells her she thinks she headed to the basement with penelope. toni runs off, and she's clearly panicking a little, but we still can't see the pictures she's clutched in her hand. instead we cut to gay kevin, introducing Agony while reggie and sweet pea are onstage in their prince garb. as the song starts, reggie starts singing as toni's sprinting through the mazelike halls of thornhill, and it cycles through the rest of the characters and their Problems while the song goes on. toni sings "if i should lose her how shall i regain the heart she has won from me" and then archie joins her on "agony- beyond power of speech-" and then we focus fully on archie and he's holding a flannel we recognize as jughead's while he sings "when the one thing you want is the only thing out of your reach" and well. <3 for the second verse we cut to beronica, who have clearly worked something out, veronica hooking her arms around betty's waist while she brushes her hair. the two sing the ah-ah-ah-ah part together while betty works on a little murder wall about polly's new cult sitch & it's cute. then it's a cut to jughead when we go back to "agony- far more painful than yours" etc etc. we watch him and gladys direct serpents on drug deals, and draw pins on their map, and they're not getting any closer. they cut the bridge for a scene where one of gladys' serpent tells them they've had a breakthrough and there's a demand for a big shipment of glimmer beans for some sort of "festival" and one of the serpents has got in as a runner. and jughead is like "i'll go" and then we're back into Agony Misery Woe (cycling back through everybody) then ending at toni skidding around a corner on "agony- that can cut like a knife-" and finds cheryl perfectly fine chatting with penelope, and she turns and smiles brightly all "whatever is the matter, tt?" and toni rushes to hug her and whispers that she's found something out and they need to get out of there Now. they leave and we linger on penelope smiling serenely #insaneinthehead

jughead calls up veronica to ask her to help him out on the hiram front. she agrees with some trepidation (oh shit does he know i just got with his ex-girlfriend) (he does not). she tells him shes pretty sure hiram's involved but doesn't know where his lab is, he tells her about his plans to deliver a big shipment of glimmer beans, and they plan for her to track the people who supply jughead and see if they can lead her back to the lab; he'll join her after he makes the delivery, and they'll see what they can dig up.

toni meanwhile tells cheryl what she's found: penelope's got pages and pages of rambling notes and spellbooks and such, all seeming to be revolving around breaking curses. it appears this king she's been working with has told her it's possible to break the blossom curse, but because it's a curse on a bloodline, it requires an equal sacrifice: blood for blood. in this case, blossom blood for blossom blood. cheryl is in danger. we cut to commercial.

the night jughead intends to make the delivery rolls around but right after rehearsal archie asks him if he wants to hang out, maybe the two of them and jellybean, since he wants to make sure she's safe. jughead looks insanely guilty but tells him he can't tonight and makes up some excuse about homework. archie is clearly hurt. jughead leaves before he can think about it too much.

backstage, b&v have a similar conversation- betty asks ronnie if she wants to come with her to investigate the mysterious festival polly's attending, and veronica tells her she's investigating a lead about her father's involvement with glimmer beans, so they agree to confer later and head off. kevin, meanwhile, asks josie if she can stay late to work on one of her solos.

Last Midnight starts up with josie singing the hell out of it as everyone starts putting their plans into action (on "told a little lie... broke a little vow" it focuses on jughead still guilty about lying to archie. lol). jughead and veronica meet up, both in disguise, while betty is following polly into the woods (heh) to the festival. we watch as jughead meets with his suppliers, veronica hidden in the bushes, and then heads off into the woods as well; while veronica tails them we arrive at the festival and it's this whole bacchanal affair. people in laurels and such, and there's an apparent king on a dais in the center of the clearing but their face is concealed. jughead arrives and hands off his crate, taking note of the weird creepy cult party but not noticing polly arriving as he turns and leaves to go meet up with veronica. betty, a few steps behind her, only sees a serpent jacket disappearing into the trees. the song ramps up, jughead hopping on his motorcycle and making it to the coordinates veronica has texted him, while betty watches in horror as the king beckons polly towards the dais and turns to open the crates behind him. jughead and veronica sneak into the glimmer bean lab and start taking pictures, until jughead sees something that makes him freeze. it's unmistakably his mom's toledo serpents jacket. the song's nearing its end and we go back to polly, who has knelt and taken the beans the king offers her. betty rushes forward to try to stop her, and the song hits "and the boom-" and polly screams and collapses to the ground. none of the cult members move to help her as betty desperately tries to. we cut to commericaaaal.

when we come back it's the next day and archie is trying and failing to call jughead. we watch another call go unanswered. he gives up and leaves for school.

meanwhile jughead is staring at his hands when gladys walks in. she asks him how the delivery went and he's like "cut the crap, mom. i know you and hiram are working together. why would you lie about jellybean being in danger? that's low even for you" and she starts to protest and he cuts her off and we start No More (which is my favorite song). we cut to cheryl who is also confronting penelope about what the hell she's doing over the instrumental for the baker's father's part, and penelope starts some convoluted explanation, but cheryl goes into her verse (no more curses you can't undo...) and cheryl and jughead sing "no more feelings- time to shut the door- just no more" and walk out at the same time. they cut straight to no more giants waging war after that, and i do think even How Do You Ignore are notes jughead is capable of hitting, so i believe in my heart it wouldn't even sound that terrible. i have faith in it. anyway i think a cheryl and jughead duet to no more would be fun. two ppl who end up so alone so often, ykno. etc. anyway as the song ends cheryl kicks penelope out of the house as she frequently does and jughead gets a text from betty, who wants to meet up with everyone in the bunker. he panics bc he and his mom have been using it as a base of operations and he's of course been hiding that gladys is back in town. whoopsie!

jughead rushes to the bunker but doesn't make it in time- betty is already there, and veronica and archie arrive soon after. betty is like what the hell is this jughead and he tries to deflect but ronnie is like just tell them jughead and betty whirls on her like vee YOU knew? and jughead admits that his mom's back in town and serpents have been trying to infiltrate the glimmer bean trade and etc and archies like jug why didnt you tell me your mom was back in town i could have helped- is that where you went last night? and betty's like my sister almost DIED last night because of glimmer beans and it spirals into, of course, Your Fault. and it is glorious because i just know a riverdale performance of Your Fault would be the most special thing on the planet. obvi <3 big ol blowout. etc etc. betty's mad at veronica because she knew about the festival AND the glimmer beans and didn't think to tell her, archie's mad at jughead for keeping things from him and shutting him out, betty's mad at jughead for pretty much everything but that's just how it is #killhimwitharock et cetera!!!

betty and jughead end up storming out and veronica and archie are left in the bunker where they sit in silence, hurt, for a second before they end up talking about the fact veronica and betty had just gotten together. archie tells her how he feels something for jughead, too. they're friends again. it's nice ^_^ they agree to go talk to the others and head out, archie going off to pop's and veronica heading for elm street.

archie finds jughead because of course he does. it's framed like he was looking for the girl next door instead he found me. veronica finds betty standing in front of her house and it's framed like the pilot too <3 they make up, of course. and they sing No One Is Alone. can you hear me can you hear it can you envision and rotate Core Four No One Is Alone in your head. please imagine it and envision it. because that's the crux of this thing for me. jarchie & beronica doing no one is alone. while they sing archie takes jughead's hand across the table. he lets him. betty & veronica seal the song with a kiss. jarchie don't, not yet, but The Presence Of Jarchie is there and it's stronger than ever.

WE CUT TO OPENING NIIIGHT! core four are backstage and have made up. betty and veronica are holding hands, which everyone notes with interest. archie brushes his shoulder against jughead's and straightens his narrator costume tie. the presence of jarchie flourishes. cheryl and toni are in hushed discussion about whatever penelope could be planning, but are decidedly relieved she's out of the house. reggie and sweet pea are in a dramatic fight with their prop swords while fangs referees. milky white the haunted prop cow gazes from a corner and ethel ties a little bow around her neck. josie is having a ball waving her witch staff around like a microphone & uses it to parry a stray sword that gets too close. gay kevin is frolicking around signing playbills. everyone is having a blast. we get our shots of the lights going up on the final number, and they perform a passionate rendition of Finale: Children Will Listen. RAS is inexplicably there as the mysterious man. there are shots of parents in the audience with wet eyes. polly, recovered, looks at juniper and dagwood and smiles. for some reason even gladys is there, skulking in the back next to a woman who is clearly her girlfriend and also clearly jennifer tilly. the one parent missing is penelope.

and then after the very final "i wish-" the auditorium door slams open and in struts penelope, flanked by some police officers or smthn, and she goes right over to polly and announces that she is no longer fit to be the guardian of juniper and dagwood. everyone begins to protest, but penelope announces she has a witness to polly's unsavory acts, and the doors swing open a second time and in walks the hooded king from the festival. polly is restrained as penelope lifts the twins in her arms and hands one to the king. we cut to the stage and to cheryl and toni's horrified faces in particular.

"it was never me mumsie wanted to sacrifice," cheryl murmurs.

"it was the twins," toni confirms.

the cast, still lined up for their bow, are frozen. we zoom out and the screen goes black and the logo flickers up. CREDITS ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL <333333

and that is Riverdale Special Musical Episode: Into The Woods. peace and love!

[fuck-customers]

Customers get so heated about shit that doesn't fuckinf matter.

No one wants to take this dollar bill as change bc its got red marker on it (like a little kid scribbled on it) and they get angry that I even tried to hand it to them. A little marker does not decrease the value of this piece of linen!

I'll be putting something on the shelf and my jack or a cart or myself will be in the way and instead of saying excuse me they just get huffy? Sorry I can't read minds?

We put their shit in a carriage at the end of the counter. If we put it in the "wrong" place, they get mad and start to yell. Again, I can't read minds.

They'll get mad theres no parking when we're busy. Like I have ANY control over that. Or when people take up all the handicapped parking, as though I could figure out whose cars they are and make them move.

One person got mad bc the sun was shining through the windows and hurting her eyes. Bitch me too, the fuck?

You gotta pay for bags in our state. This has been the case since about 2016. Some people will start yelling about it. Where have you been for the past however many years? Either suck it up and pay for a bag or find a box. Idgaf. Im not losing my job over a 13c bag.

Or if someone else is taking a while at the register, they get mad at me. Like I can fucking force the person to get their change faster. Trust me, im timed. I wish I could.

I sliced my hand with a box cutter while opening a pallet. For some reason a lady got mad at me for having to run to the back, holding my BLEEDING HAND, bc I was moving too fast? Or something? Idk I barely heard her. I had more important things to worry about.

Everyone needs to just stop. I've had enough. Thats not even half of it. Im so tired.

Office parties suck, please? I suffered through one last night, need someone else to do it as well. If you can have Spain or England or both in the story I'll be happy.

hi anon! i hope you have recovered from your endeavour - please have a cookie for bravery 🍪 - and pls enjoy this bc well,, suffering is temporary. Arthur is about to learn that :) (also shame on me for making this engspa but anon honey you did ask for one or both idiots and this is an engspa addiction zone i can't be stopped >:'v)

Mull

Office parties suck. There is no debate to be had on the matter, and Arthur knows his mind is not going to be changed by attending this year’s party. 

Last year, he’d been roped into it—bribed with free drinks and the potential to schmooze for a promotion he ended up losing to Greg of all people—and by the time he got home, the holiday spirit had been drained out of him like mulled wine from the keg. 

So this year, he is adamant. He is not going to the damn office party, no matter what!

…until, that is, a certain someone comes over to his desk in the morning as he’s buried in his emails, and catches him with his guard down.

“Are you coming along this evening?” someone asks.

Arthur hums to acknowledge there’s been an interaction, but his eyes are trying to make sense of the words he’s reading. Seriously, does he need to be in this email chain? He could do without the nonsense and plain stupidity, especially on a Friday!

“It’s my first since working here,” the other goes on, a muffle in his mind. “I hope it’s good…”

“It’ll be fine,” Arthur mumbles. His eyes are still on his screen. His brain is still deciphering paragraph-long sentences. 

“I was wondering, though… If you aren’t going with anyone else, would you… consider going with me? Just so I’m not the, uh, the weirdo going in alone, haha…”

His finger clicks the mouse, deleting the email. 

“Yeah, sure.”

“R— Really?”

Another three emails have since appeared in his inbox. Arthur wants to cry. 

“Mmh…”

“Wow… Thanks, Arthur!”

And at long last, he looks away from his computer, unsure what it is he’s being thanked for, only to find Antonio smiling at him. Antonio, one of few ‘friends’ in the office he has. Antonio, who’s been there for only about six months yet is universally adored. Antonio, who, at least in private, is probably adored by no one as much as he is adored by Arthur, who, as he continues to look at the other, realises what he has just done. 

He can’t even be mad about it. 

He can’t say ‘no’ now, because it would likely upset Antonio.

He can’t do anything, in fact, other than smile back at him and ask, “Shall I meet you there?” 

“I can pick you up,” Antonio offers, as his heart screams. “You aren’t far from me.”

And that is what happens, then, later that evening after the work day is over, the office is closed, and Arthur has had a chance to freshen himself up. 

He still can’t believe he’s doing this. He can’t believe, firstly, that he is going to the damn Christmas party again, but he also can’t believe that he’s that useless a human being he hasn’t even had the decency to tell Antonio since his unwitting agreement that, actually, he doesn’t want to go! He could have made an excuse! Something like, the cat’s ill, got to run to the vet, or maybe, suit shrunk in the wash and I don’t think going naked is wise so I’m out!

But no! He’s bottled it! And now he’s there, standing in a not-that-warm venue, dying over making small talk about his uneventful holidays-to-come, and longing for his bed. 

Somewhat luckily for him, after a few moments of further lamenting, his saviour appears with another glass of hot wine (it’s all the company thought to provide other than prosecco, and he just isn’t a bubbles man!). 

“Here,” Antonio says, passing over a glass. He stands next to Arthur as the blond takes a sip and savours the warmth it provides.

“Thanks,” Arthur replies.

“No worries,” Antonio nods. “I think it’s the least I can do for you, after dragging you out here. I’m starting to regret my choices…”

The Brit just can’t help but snort, humoured. “Office parties suck,” he remarks, to which Antonio hums in agreement.

“Remind me not to do this next year,” he says. “All this effort for cheap wine and stinky cheese!”

“Not your cup of tea?”

“Not my…?”

“Not your thing,” Arthur clarifies. “Not your idea of a good party.”

“Oh! No,” the brunet responds, shaking his head before taking a sip of his wine. Then he says, “My sort of party involves better music, more dancing, and more drinking. I would hazard to say that mulled wine is not really ‘my cup of tea’ either.”

“No? Is it not a bit like sangria?”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”

“Sorry…”

“Still,” Antonio says, “I’ll make it up to you.”

Arthur doesn’t want him to feel obliged or guilty; cheap wine and stinky cheese aside, he’s had a nice evening thanks to some shared laughter, some moaning, and some, well, cheap wine and stinky cheese. 

But in all seriousness, Antonio has been good company. Even if he would have liked to have stayed home, he… can’t deny he’s enjoyed the opportunity to get to spend time with Antonio away from the office. It’s been nice to just talk with him, without the pressure of it having to be work-related somehow, managers looming over them. It’s been nice to feel at ease, and more like themselves—more real—even if only slightly.

So Arthur tells him, “Don’t worry about it. The evening hasn’t been too unbearable.”

“Oh?” Antonio croons. “You think?”

“Yeah, well, you’re not unbearable.”

“Flattery! How kind,” the other jokes. “I’m still going to make it up to you. I feel responsible for your suffering.”

“What suffering?” Arthur remarks as he sips his wine.

“It’s like you said, no? Office parties suck?”

“Oh, yeah. For sure.” He lowers his glass. “They suck less with good company, though.”

Antonio stares at him for a moment. He can feel his gaze—can feel the warmth and nerves grow the longer it goes on. Arthur holds his cards close to his chest and says no more, his own eyes turning to the room, their colleagues, the small talk to come. 

But then, just out of the corner of his eye, he glimpses a smile. A lovely, soft, wine-humoured smile. 

That’s all Arthur needs to convince himself that… maybe not all office parties suck…

making a copy of this bc op disabled reblogs and i just got reminded it existed and would like to not lose it

ok so . im outing myself to the world but thats fine this is too funny to not share

so. ive run a roleplay blog for a few years. i keep it separate from my main, yknow, its just a side hobby and ive been doing it since i was like, 12. its cringe but hey yknow at least im not 30 and writing ya novels

now its pretty common for rp blogs these days to have rules. right? you dont want to just bag any weirdo on this website, and as you can imagine bnha roleplayers are batshit crazy (see: conversion therapy todoroki) so mine are pretty strict and detailed. because ive been doing it long enough to be exposed to what counts as carbon monoxide poison from a screen. one of those rules is "if youre mutuals with people who write porn of the kids even aged up im blocking you we're keeping a ten foot pole on this". because as a 20 year old man i have a healthy disinterest in seeing paragraphs of teenagers fucking

so the dash is astir with talk of a guy writing age up bakugou porn and im like ok whatever. make a post bitching about it . mutual likes those posts but then the mutual is turning around and being buddy buddy with this guy so i dm the mutual like hey whats going on here . mutual is like "well why dont you talk it out with him hes not as mean as he seems i prommy" and im like sure whatever i can have civil conversation and if it ends with One Less Person writing weirdo porn then i might be able to get into heaven

so i dm him and he loses his fucking mind. it lasted all of 10 minutes because he was sending paragraphs like this and i was too tired to give a shit

(take note of my icon thats a special tool thatll help us later)

(also he goes by the name rxgelord. WITH the x. thats also important just because its funny as fuck)

so the guys clearly bothered by the idea that people might possibly talk about him without his permission and im a little miffed after being misgendered (which hed do again later) so i just post our dms. swing first and hey batter batter lets play ball i dont give a shit this is bnha roleplay

once again: loses his damn mind. he makes a psa post about me talking about how im just some pussy infant and hes too HARD for me and shit and also they do bakudeku muffin roleplay in the comments of that post which is fucking insane

anyway. at one point while joking about the whole thing i called him a "wannabe bakugou kinnie" as a joke and apparently he felt a very serious need to address this

and im like holllllllllllllly fucking shit

you may have noticed that his posts are incredibly over-formatted. this goes for everything he does he is pouring a LOT of time and energy into typing his 9 paragraphs about how im an insane bitch or whatever. (if theres literally one thing i can give him credit on its that his graphic editing skills are kinda good. i will be honest) his rules document is also just as insane and features gems such as:

(this dude thinks hes pulling bitches on a bnha roleplay blog)

so we're just full on ragging on him at this point and hes getting MADDDDDDD MAD. he misgenders me again and when i point it out he has the following excuse:

(art by @/pcktknife. anyways)

after a certain point i get dmd an old copy of a 130+ page callout he had a year prior and im like WHAT and it included his yugioh rp blog career and various allegations like having been involved in gang violence, doxxing, etc. also a picture of the hickies he bragged about leaving on his uwu pink glitter gf which looked more like he was trying to go for the killing bite but hey. yknow. apparently im a toddler idk how that works

along in this we also find his twitch account, which was under the name rxgelord, and it featured edited graphics of his real life face with bakugou. he posts selfies a lot too i wont share them even if theyre public but he has knuckle tats and a goatee and uses the greyscale filter. if this gives you an idea. he also had 5 twitch followers and detailed his desire to be a rapper/dj and im like holllllly fucking shit this guy cant be a real person. holy fuck.

anyways. skipping a lot of unnecessary bullshit and paragraphs of text with gifs from 2013 attached hes constantly going on about how we wont just "say it to his face" which i think is hilarious bc i was, the entire time. but im like ok fine you want me so bad

so i send him this. he posts about how "he won when he got all might" (for some reason hes calling my ex mutual by the character name. i dont know) and then hasnt posted in 4 days. he deleted his twitch. im a little worried bakugou. dont say that. may have actually chased this man off the internet . to go have real life sex with his real life girlfriend so he isnt so mad

anyway we ended up turning one of his posts into an eminem uberduck

im honestly probably forgetting something this was so much and it was so fucking funny and honestly im glad to have been there

update: he has not in fact posted since last summer. god bless.

I think I just broke my spouse by rewatching Star Trek Generations. Oops.

My spouse is now losing their sh*t in the funniest way possible because I've said I am rewatching Star Trek VII: Generations "for science". (I'm working on a fic and need to clear up a few things bc I haven't rewatched this in . . . Well . . . I haven't rewatched this.👀 There are strong opinions in this family about Generations.)

But my partner's visceral reaction to Generations has me:

Some quotes when they came down and found Generations playing on the TV (and bear in mind that we speak with a thick Irish sounding accent because it just adds to the whole experience for me):

*SO sees Generations credits starting*

SO: *Flatly* No. *Goes back upstairs, yells from up there* I am not watching that shite movie. Not even for science. I refuse. You'll be watching it alone.

Me: That's OK, it's why I'm watching it while you're at work. :) *Trying not to die withholding laughter*

***Silence for a while, then***

SO: Are you serious, man? *Comes back downstairs as if unable to believe their eyes, aghast at the credits, giving Bill Shatner a run for his money for dramatic flourish* Jesus Christ today . . .

Me:*Starts cackling*

SO: Yer f**king with me. Right? *Grinning* You ARE f**king with me aren't you?

Me: I'm watching it, be quiet!

SO: Well I'm not watching Generations. I won't be supporting this.

Me: Obviously, you're working. Go back to work!

SO: I can hear it and I don't know how I feel about that.

*Moments later, comes back down the stairs with betrayed glance, goes to fill coffee cup, comes back to sip and glare at the TV screen before looking at me in horror*

SO: Who are you?

*They kept finding excuses to keep popping in and out, offering salty commentary*

"OH SURE just leave the body there ya bald c*nt why not? You're beaming everything else on board . . ."

"OH SURE the CAT lives, meanwhile KIRK is under a ROCK PILE like a STREET DOG."

"Well go ahead then ya soulless t'ing. Just leave it there I guess, a dead body is worthless. Unless it's JIM KIRK!!! Do you know how far Spock had to travel to get that body?!"

"Love . . . I didn't fix your computer so you could put me through this G*d d*mn torture today." (My spouse just did over $400 worth of reformatting and data retrieval on my laptop on the same day I rewatched Generations.)

SO: *Coming back down AGAIN during work to see the ending credits* "I can't believe you did that alone. I won't congratulate you for that. . ."

"I'm insulted to watch these credits and know people willingly took part in this. Who took money for this? Who got paid to do this to me? I need to take my pants off, I'm too overheated . . ." *storming from the room while taking off pants*

- - My partner going on an actual tailspin when I tried to get them to rewatch Generations with me for the express purpose of plot points re: The Nexus for a fanfic. Then I put it on while they were at work and I think I broke them.🤣 Shiver-me-triggers, Cap'n.

This film destroys families and never should have been made confirmed.

P.S.: They are still going but the credits ended long ago:

"WHAT KIND OF MONSTER LEAVES BODIES THERE? YOU GONNA LEAVE JAMES T KIRK UNDER A PILE OF ROCKS? THE ROADKILL SPECIAL? WHO GOES TO WAR WITH COMRADES AND JUST -- YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE HIS BODY YOU HAVE BEAM TECHNOLOGY-"

P.P.S.: my family's favourite GIF to use when talking about Generations:

[4ssun]

not an ask but a "comment" because cas has me 🧍‍♀️.

firstly. yn is so irrational that i'm literally pulling strands of my hair out. but love is a strong emotion so i can understand to some extent? that doesn't excuse the amount of things she's done without proper consideration though..

uhh ok. the letter was probably about beomgyu leaving? (maybe quitting twitch and moving onto school studies) hence why chapter 26 is named "moving on".. and that's gonna be so hard to read bcs whenever i read anything ab recovery the tears FALL

27 being named "first love" is probably about felix because of the stems saying "still in love" (unless the chart was made on a website and the website didn't have a "still friends" option or something) or maybe it's a realization that though felix was an era of her life, beomgyu was her first true love?

i can guess 27-28 but don't want to put too much thought as twenty seven is most likely a reunion and twenty-eight is going more about that? the last chapter is more of what i wanted to focus on though because it's simply "cas" so i thinkk it's them dating again and just playing the sims together? like a timeskip? maybe there's a plot twist last second and the ghosts in the room they're playing the sims in go on stan twitter 🤨 (jokes but idk what to expect anymore)

something i was so mad at was yn completely skipping over the love confession and hating beomgyu... like yes that's understandable but PLEASE use empathy in this situation. you are no better than him, doing an impulsive stream because you think it's what's best.. both of them had better options yet decided to take the probably worst one and then yn completely looks past how she's just repeating in gyu's steps...

^^ seriously though because gyu let his love for yn take over and risked losing all his friends, lashed out on them, didn't let them see what he was thinking, and then runs away. yn closes up and is risking losing *everyone* because of love??

if the ending wasn't a happily ever after and my interpretation of 28 was wrong would i be mad? no... not really. if they did just leave each other as a past asset of their live and move on, i would accept that.. i feel like they both harmed each other without trying (excluding gyu being cold at the start) and both saw the major consequences. if they learn from their actions and 28 is just yn playing sims and reflecting on the times i would be okay because it's character development 👍👍

but if it was a happily ever after i would be happy too (as long as it's a timeskip because i can't imagine the ending being like 2 days after the implied unalive mention)

still would be okay with anything you write though 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

(this has got to be my favorite ask ever because you kind off?? read my mind?? in some ways!!)

i want to actually analyze a bit of what you said and offer you (and anyone else) some hints on the future chapters! to keep this from being a long paragraph of wall, i'll put a cut here!

yn and beomgyu are very alike in ways that you mentioned. both are impulsive, deeply feeling, and extremely irrational beings. but they are also different, yn is more openly emotional as we've seen with how she describes how she feels and shows her emotions outwardly. beomgyu, however, is not the same. he tends to not show his emotions (aka his initial coldness to yn) unless they're dragged out of him (keeho getting him to admit jealousy) and when he goes all out, he goes all out. hence his anger towards yeonjun. this will be touched on in chapter 28, which is a gyu-centric chapter.

the letter will also be touched on! but do keep in mind, in yn's emotional state and how she tends to be impulsive, her reaction to the letter might not make sense to someone who isn't irrational with how they respond when upset. also, it will be explained why yn doesn't react to beomgyu confessing that he loves her and how that ties in with his letter. (i can't wait hehe.)

i will say your theory for chapter 26 is spot on! however, i will say you're wrong about the character doing the tasks you mentioned. i don't want to give away too much but i literally was like 😲 when you said that bc that's exactly what happens hehe.

chapter 27 is about felix and yn! not gonna give spoilers on that one though... any ynlix shippers around?

chapters 28-29 are gyu-centric chapters, so if you wanna know why beomgyu decided to become dumb: those are the chapters for you!! can't wait to see how y'all react to that.

your views on yn and beomgyu are pretty much spot on. they both have made some very stupid decisions and are now reaping the consequences of those. however, i promise this story has a "happy" ending. will it be the traditional one of many smaus? probably not.

chapter 30 is also spot on in terms of plot with "someone" playing sims, but i don't wanna spoil it! my hint for you here is just to remember: everything comes full circle.

thank you so much for sending this ask! it's literally my favorite ever and i'm so flattered that you care about my smau enough to analyze and find theories!! <3 i hope these last 5 chapters do you justice.

(i gotta reblog this onto the writing blog though, so that hopefully everyone else can see it! this is my main hehe.)

I thought you never would… - Chapter 3

Chapter three

Word count: 1,761 words 

Warning: language, mention of sex

Dean was peacefully asleep when Kira started to touch his cock, stroking him as she kissed his neck. His eyes shot open as he woke up, pushing her off of him with a sigh, turning away from her. Kira frowned slightly not understanding why he did that and just shrugged to herself be for touching him again, but now sliding her hand into his boxers. Dean quickly grabbed her wrist before looking at her,  "I'm not in the mood." He told her sternly, throwing her hand off him.

She frowned at him, "why?" Dean rolled his eyes, because sometimes she wouldn't take no for an answer. "I'm not in the mood." He repeated. She rolled her eyes and got out of the bed, taking her clothes on. "Dean, you got some money for me?" She asked with a pout. Dean already got angry at this question, since he got barely money left for this month. 

"No, I don't. Why don't you just start making money on your own and stop asking me for it." He said rubbing his face. She rolled her eyes and looked at him, "why would I go to work and make my own money?" Dean frowned deeply, finally getting to his senses after almost one and a half years of relationship. "I think, it's time we two break up." Dean told her. Her eyes widened, "What? Why?" She breathed out. Dean scoffed, "Because you and I don't work out." He said with a shrug, throwing her bag into her direction. "You better pack up and get out of here." He said taking his joggers on as she stared at him in shock. 

Dean walked on the balcony, grabbing his cigarettes. He grabs one out of the box, lightning it up before he started to smoke it. He closed his eyes for a moment, just trying to calm down for a moment. He didn't think it be that easy to tell her it was over. He heard her grabbing her things all over the place as he walked back inside from the balcony. He plops down on his bed again watching her pack up. 

She eventually finished, "You really want to break up?" She asked standing in the door frame with crossed arms.  Dean looked up from his phone , "Yeah." He said. "Then I'd like to have the 100 dollars you owe me back." Dean scoffed and started laughing. "Excuse me? You lived here for free, I even gave you money and you want the fucking 100 bucks back? I think you lost your mind." He almost yelled at her as he got up. "I want my money." She insisted standing straight. 

"Kira you better get the fuck out before I lose my mind." He told her angrily. "So you really breaking up with me bc of that Hoe y/n?" She asked with a scoff. Dean frowned deeply, "what? She's just a friend! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" He yelled and she just rolled her eyes before finally leaving his little apartment. 

Dean sighed in relief, but also kind of missing her. She was his first real love and girlfriend, but he knew it was the right thing. He knew it, he knew it'll save him a lot of nerves and money. Money he could use for himself. 

He walked into his bathroom to take a quick shower, checking the time, sighing since he had to leave for work in about an hour. 

After work, Ryan stopped by Dean's place since Dean send him a voice message, telling Ryan what happened that morning. Ryan was kinda proud of Dean, that he finally ended things with Kira. Ryan noticed, that the whole thing was still kinda hard on him. Ryan suggested via text to spend the night, having a guys night. 

Dean was thankful for that, since he needed distraction or otherwise he would run back to her, asking her to come back. He needed Ryan to tell him, he did the right thing by breaking up with her. 

Ryan plugged his PS4 into Dean's tv in the living room, so they could play together and have a few drinks. "Maybe we could ask y/n to play with us." Ryan suggested and Dean nodded. "Sure." He said with a tight smile. Dean had no problem with you joining, because you were always so nice and making funny jokes. 

Dean turned his PS4 on as well, joining their voice chat while you joined as well. "Helloooooo." you said happily heading the smile in your voice, since you had a really good day so far. You went to the mall with your mom, had Chinese for dinner, went for a walk with your dog and started reading a new book.

"Hey." Ryan said with a smile. "Hey," Dean said trying to sound as happy as they do, but failing miserably. "Dean, you alright?" You asked him softly. 

"Not really...broke up with my girlfriend today." He says with a sigh lightning a cigarette, starting to smoke it. You felt sorry at how sad and kind of broken he sounded. "I'm sending you a hug." You told him softly making him a smile slightly. "Thanks, y/n." 

"If you wanna talk, let me know," you added a moment later. "Thank you, really." He said with a small smile. You kinda wished you'd live like a few miles away, but you didn't. You lived like 200 miles away, which was a lot. 

You tried to distract Dean as best as you could and he really appreciated it. He enjoyed listening to you. 

"Y/n, we have to meet up one day." Ryan asked some time later, chewing on some chips. You smiled, "yeah, one day." You said into the mic. "I'm sure, it'd be fun." Dean said a moment later, making you smile wider, biting your bottom lip. Even tho you didn't know how he looked like, you were crushing on him. Hard. 

"Yeah, since I'm eighteen now, we could arrange a meeting in the future. I'd just have for save up some money for a hotel or motel." You said, making Dean frown. "You could crash at mg place, I wouldn't mind." Dean told you, actually surprising you a bit. "Wait, really?" You asked surprised as Dean extinguishing his cigarette. "Yeah." He said casually. 

"We all could meet up at Dean's place." Ryan said with a smile causing Dean to laugh at how Ryan invited himself. Dean didn't care, since Ryan was like a brother to him.

"Sounds so much fun, really." You said happily, you really wanted to meet them, knowing it'd be fun. Dean smiled a bit, also feeling a bit excited even tho it still could take months until they would meet up in real life. It didn't bother him, he just really couldn't wait. 

"So what's your Instagram?" Dean asked you and you told him your user. Dean lied to you about, checking it out later since he did it almost immediately. You definitely were his type, he thought you were cute and pretty. 

An hour later or so, he followed you on Instagram when you all already were in bed. You looked on your phone and saw that Dean followed you. As soon as you clicked on the profile, you bit your lip. Man, he was stunning. He was hot as hell. You crush on him grew even more. 

A few weeks passed by and you met Dean's older brother Sam online, who lived on his own as well like 100 miles away from Dean, they didn't see each other as often as they wished for. "Yo Sam, what do you think of y/n?" Ryan asked after you left the voice chat. "She seems really cool, finally a girl, who has something in her brain and even has humour." Sam told them with a shrug. 

"Yeah, we wanna meet up with her next month maybe, if everything works out." Dean said to his older brother over the headset. "Sounds fun, maybe I could stop by as well." Sam said playfully. "Oh, yes!" Ryan said excitedly as Dean laughed. "You know, I was joking, right?" He told them as Dean shrugged. "Bro, we haven't seen each other in months with you studying law." Dean said with a sigh, kinda missing his older brother. 

Sam knew his little brother was right. Since Dean broke up with Kira the two of them talked a lot more and he helped Dean a lot. If it was money, their mom, who wasn't easy on Dean. Sam moved out as soon as he finished Highschool, because he wasn't getting along with his mom as well. 

Sam wished he was there, when their mom kicked Dean out. He wished, he didn't live 100 miles away and he could've took Dean in, so Dean could live with him. 

Dean lived with their dad until he was 18, since their mom kicked Dean out when he was just 17. Their dad met another women. They got a house, but unfortunately a small one sow Dean couldn't stay much longed than needed. Dean had to sleep on the couch for almost a year before he got his own place. 

That's the reason Dean didn't finish school with good grades, because the whole thing with his mom distracted him and dragged him into a deep hole. A hole only Sam or Ryan could get him out of. Dean still got his diploma, but didn't know what to study so he just started a vocational training. 

Dean was a bit ashamed that his grades weren't as good as his older brother's grades were. He also wanted to be as good as Dean, but he wasn't a person who was made for getting excellent grades. 

"Okay, just let me know the exact dates okay?" Sam told his brother. "Okay." Dean said with a slight smile. He missed his older brother a lot. They'd only see each other on birthday's and Christmas. 

"Dean, I miss you, can we meet up and talk?" A text from Kira appeared on his phone just a day later. He checks his phone, chewing on his lip. He missed her like crazy, holding her and especially the sex. Dean tried to hook up with one girl, but he didn't get hard. He was too nervous and shy, since Kira was the only one he had sex with. 

He shrugged to himself and told her to come by after work. They would be just talking, right? Dean asked himself and nodded, nothing more.

Read next part here! :)

[brahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

im gonna do this cause i see it everywhere and never have but idrk if people care so im just gonna do as much as i want all at once for fun

1 sw 172 hw 205 cw 173 lw 140

2 im 5'5 and a half technically and i wish i was just 5'5 or like a little bit shorter i hate being bigger than other people and i feel like its more ""excusable"" if im shorter? i grew up being the tall kid and hated it so i feel a lot better about it now since everyones grown

3 not posting thinsp0 cause i dont wanna get t3rmd or be too triggering

4 my greatest fears about weight loss are dying, getting forced into recovery again or institutionalized and just generally my mom finding out

5 the real reason i wanna lose weight is definitely mostly for other people i got over a lot of insecurity when i recovered but fatphobias a bitch and people treated me sm worse constantly than when i was at my lw

6 i dont binge probably bc most of the time theres not a lot of food in the house and ive just never gotten into the habit of it

7 i dont think my parents know? my mom might but if she does she thinks im just exercising again and doing it healthy style

8 i dont really have a workout routine im still trying to get back into working out but i do go on 20 minute runs like 3ish times a week and ive been doing small pinterest cardio workouts like burpees mountain climbers and other basics

9 people have made comments since 2nd grade lol thats a big part of why im back here

10 the hardest thing ive given up during weight loss was happiness honestly. it sounds cheesy but eds literally take over your brain food was the only thing on my mind and recovering was like euphoria with this giant weight (lol) lifted.

11 @lxllx3d is my fav thinsp blog cause i dress alternative and the owner seems cool and has good opinions

12 too many hard boiled eggs my cholesterols crazy and i have bagels pretty often as my main meal

13 lmao

14 my ugw is 120 and losertown says ill reach it sometime this summer or august

15 im not vegan or vegetarian but im hindu so i dont eat cow and feel bad about pigs being smart so i dont eat pig i try to eat as much chicken as i can cause protein is very important for not dying w a restrictive ed

16 i first decided to lose weight when i was 9 i would do these workout apps with my also fucked up friend. i saw a nutritionist (fuck you lady) when i was 11 and she told me to start counting calories on myfitnesspal (fuck you lady fr never tell a child to do that)

17 im an0rexic

18 sunflower seeds and pie are probably my biggest weaknesses (which is usually fine for sunflower seeds except like sodium)

19 the last time i ate fast food was probably like a month or two ago i had like fries and i live across the street from a fosters freeze (its like a dairy queen)

20 i dont really do diets i just set cal goals based on what i think i need/can handle

21 i wear like a us medium in tops and a large in bottoms depending on the store obvs

22 i already said but my lw was 140 and i gained bc i recovered (like professionally like i had a dr and psychiatrist and nutritionist(she sucked))

23 media probably definitely played a role in me thinking being fat was bad or just being aware of it in general but i think it was mostly subconscious

24 pro ana and pro mia are pretty dumb terms to me bc almost nobodys actually promoting it to other people or thinks its good we just want community i usually just say ana community or mia or ed

25 i have purged i cant remember the first time but i do remember one time i was hanging out with my friends at my house and we had rootbeer floats and i took a shower a purged it when they were in the other room which was super lame

26 im most excited to just feel lighter and have people notice again

27 idk how i deal with being around food sometimes i eat it sometimes i dont sometimes i give it to other people

28 a thigh gap would be nice bc chafing in the summer hurts so bad but i dont think its realistic for my body type and cause i still wanna be relatively curvy i def want more of a gap then now though

29 i think my definition of beauty is pretty abstract i find most things beautiful and a lot of it for people depends on actions and personality and little things they do i think beauty is ever evolving and cant really be defined

30 10 facts about me!! im an artist(bunch of different things but a lot of portrait paintings), im a smoker (both), im an ambivert but i act like an extrovert, i like kids, im german and have a really cool last name, im passionate about politics and social justice, im really passionate about the environment (i represent my school in this district wide youth environment thing and im taking ap environmental science), im very bisexual, i love riot grrrl music and subculture stuff, im a theater kid :|

[winderlylandchime]

And we are at 2x11 1/2: The man is feeling so confident in his new found “chill” because he didn’t lose his mind the last episode that he is now sure he can watch the entire season without any smoke breaks (yes, i typed this out while having war flashbacks to ethan):

‘Oh that’s a lot of boobies..wait its their bachelorette? They’re actually going through with it? Oh boy. SEE EVEN THE PSYCHIC KNOWS ITS A BAD IDEA!!!’ ‘Now that is a way to get out of a wedding! I need a similar excuse to get out of that check up later this week’ i wish you could see this man because he is feeling so relaxed since he’s so sure in himself that the worst is over for some reason. ‘OH MY GOD HE IS TAKING JUSTIN TO MIAMI! HE WANTS TO TAKE MY BOY TO MIAMI EVEN THO THATS WHERE HE’S SUPPOSED TO FUCK ALL THE GUYS!!! OH MY GOD! Brian..let’s revisit the Love town..come one just say it to him!’ ‘…i get it’s their wedding but let my boy have fun without guilt trips. Plus i bet my *looks at his wallet* shit…um, i bet my…my…CIGARETTE! That they won’t last so who cares if he misses it’ and now he is losing his shit once again because of Ted and his blanket comments. He is still very sure of himself since these last two episodes have given him false security. SERIOUSLY. How many more signs do you need that you shouldn’t get married? *linds says the same thing but she says bc theyre gay* NO! NO! NO THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID! The reason you shouldn’t get married is because y’all suck! You as a couple make as much sense as those subtitles yesterday’ (he watched an episode of Criminal Minds while high as a kite and accidentally set the subtitles to Chinese and then proceeded to try and convince me that he was chinese in previous life since he can understood them..he was very sad and relieved when he discovered what happened) *pauses tv* ‘oh so let me get this straight *raises hand to brian’ no offense. So, melanie *said in that childish mocking voice* hates brian 24/7, practically wished him to die last season so that he could sign his insurance whatever to Gus, is a horrible bitch to him every time I see her and YET YET!! The second shit hits the fan, she comes crying to him for help…hypocrite..might wanna look that one up melly. And of course he is going to help’ He is now hoping that they put a montage of everyone getting their jobs done for the wedding. And now he is getting distracted by showing me the Legally Blonde montage when she gets her shit together that he keeps on his phone bc it’s his favorite scene ever and he watches it when he needs motivation..just when i thought nothing could surprise me.. ‘i truly appreciate that the fact that this man made pickles never goes unnoticed! I wish i could eat a pickle. Why did i promise mom I wasn’t gonna eat a pickle..*looks at the ceiling* yo, big guy, give me a sign if i shouldnt eat one.’ At this point i had to step in and be responsible to wish he just went ‘you’re no fun, the pickle guy would appreciate me risking it all for him’

Okay I need to go directly to that fact that he set the subtitles to Chinese and then thought he knew Chinese. I AM DYING WITH LAUGHTER.

"Hand to Brian, no offense." And yes, explain Melanie running to Brian to fix their wedding (I wonder if your brother will begin to notice a theme of QAF and Brian and weddings...) when she hates Brian except for the fact that she knows her future wife is in love with him. I don't get it.

HE HAS THE LEGALLY BLONDE MONTAGE ON HIS PHONE. Get this man a GLAAD award, honestly.

The pickle guy WOULD NOT appreciate your brother risking his life for him. In fact... (oh.. I always get sad over George).

All The Good Dreams

A/n this one is based on a request from @ateliefloresdaprimavera who requested a fic where General Kirigan has been dreaming of the reader for as long as he can remember and that’s one of his few reasons to smile and the reader has been having the same kinds of dreams about him and when they meet they just know. 

This one is being written in third person bc it’s the only way I can see this fic being done but I’m a little insecure about writing in third person so be gentle lol

Also a little personal update I’ve been working on my original novel and it’s coming together y’all!!

--

ALEKSANDER. 

The morning sunlight seems to only come to take her from him, peaking through the curtains and stirring him awake and away from his dreams. Aleksander keeps his eyes closed for a moment longer, trying to will her features to remain in his mind. She had looked more angelic in last night’s dream, dressed in all white and watching him with an adoration he doubted real life could duplicate. 

The girl has haunted his dreams like a ghost of promise since before he began to change the world. Since before anything in his life was solidified. He lets out a sigh, something similar to a smile playing at his lips. Thinking of her would not bring her to him, if he could manifest her, she’d be by his side right now. He has things to do, duties and obligations that will bring his final goal closer. Each day is a step closer to victory, and each night brings the promise of dreams. The promise of her. 

--

Y/N.

“Y/n.” The voice is gentle and distant. “Y/n,” a little harsher. “Wake up, you’ll be late.” 

Fighting against grogginess, y/n wakes up, eyes squinting open. “What time is it, Danna?” 

“Late.” Danna’s reply is curt as she steps away from y/n’s cot. “I thought you were awake already and then I came in to look for my boots and you were still asleep with that ridiculously peaceful look.” Danna paces around the room. “You must have been dreaming of your prince again?” 

Y/n feels her skin warm. “He’s not a prince!” It’s a weak defense. “I regret telling you that almost every time I dream I see the same man.” 

Danna drops down, grabbing her worn boots and pulling them on quickly. “You’re making me believe in soulmates, l/n.” 

Y/n rolls her eyes, sitting up and placing her feet on the ground at her own leisure. “It’s nothing like that--I’m not even sure he exists.” 

Lacing her shoes, Danna narrows her eyes at y/n. “Sure.” Y/n opens her mouth to protest, but Danna beats her to it, “If you need to argue with me, do it while getting dressed, we can’t be late today--General Kirigan’s visiting this camp for the first time and I doubt he’d appreciate being interrupted by a non-Grisha medic.” 

At that, y/n wrinkles her nose, but she stands anyway. “Ugh...Grisha.” She walks towards her uniform. “They can get away with anything and I hear Kirigan’s the worst of all of them because he’s in the same order as the Black Heretic that began all of this.” Y/n pauses, crossing her arms. “And it’s ridiculous that the army even needs non-Grisha medics. Healers exist and they should not be primarily reserved for other Grisha who rarely get injured, especially to the extent that the rest of us do.” 

“I know, y/n, but don’t speak like that until the General is gone.” Danna draws her lips into a thin line. “And hurry up before you get us both in trouble.” 

Y/n lets out a sigh. “Go ahead without me, I’ll catch up.”

Danna eyes her friend wearily. “Alright, worse comes to worse I’ll try to cover for you.” 

“You won’t need to.” Y/n isn’t sure she believes herself. “I’ll be there.” 

Danna pulls on her second boot, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t really believe you.” She stands easily. “But knowing you, you’ll talk yourself out of any trouble the way you always do.” 

“I do not always talk myself out of trouble.” 

Turning to leave, Danna pauses, “Whatever you need to tell yourself.” 

Y/n rolls her eyes. If she had more time to argue with Danna she would take it. But she doesn’t. She’s quick to get dressed, thoughts of the mysterious stranger from her dreams keeping her company. Last night he seemed more tired than normal, a crease between his dark eyebrows as he sat by her side. A part of her she keeps buried worries about him. It’s ridiculous, to concern yourself over a figment of comfort your mind created for you. 

By the time y/n’s changed, she knows she doesn’t have much time to get to her station. She’s rushing out of her tent, one boot still untied. The medic bag she slings over her shoulder swings as she jogs towards the medical tent. Today the camp is hectic, everyone desiring to appear efficient and reliable for General Kirigan. It’s all ridiculous to Y/n. General Kirigan will never be impressed by them. If he’s revered even among Grisha, Y/n can’t imagine the superiority complex that man must possess.

Her eyes scan the soldiers and workers she knows so well, each of them behaving so differently than normal. There is no friendly chatter this morning, no casual banter. There is only the business of war. 

Y/n watches the people she knows, so focused on their nerves that she barely registers the person she crashes into. “Sorry!” The apology leaves Y/n on instinct.  Her bag falls off her shoulder, gauze and antiseptic falling onto the ground on impact. Y/n bends down instantly, beginning to pick up her supplies. She mentally curses herself for being so easily distracted and not properly shutting her bag this morning. “Everything’s so hectic today and I was running late and I just--I have no idea how I didn’t see you.” She drops her supplies back into her bag. “I guess it’s a good thing they keep me off the battlefield and in the medical tents.” 

Reaching for the last of her supplies, Y/n’s eyes land on the shoes of the person she just crashed into. They’re leather. The fine kind of leather meant for marble halls, not trekking through the unknown. Y/n’s mouth goes dry as the possibility of the graveness of her mistake sets in her mind. She exhales slowly, daring to look upwards as she closes her bag. 

When her eyes meet those of the stranger, she is left with no choice but to gape. She’s not staring because she’s now at the mercy of General Kirigan. She’s not staring because nothing could have prepared her for his beauty. She’s staring because she knows that face. She knows those sharp features and steady eyes.

His lips are slightly parted. Y/n is struck with the odd thought that perhaps he too has words wedged into his throat. 

“It’s you.” The whisper leaves her faintly. 

The words seem to unfreeze Kirigan, his expression moving from shocked to stoic. “Excuse me?” 

Awkward regret floods through Y/n. She drops her head downwards, desperate to escape the power of his gaze. “General Kirigan.” She uses her words as a way to dismiss the emotions her chest seems to be brimming with as she stands. He’s not the man from her dreams. That’s impossible. “I apologize for my inappropriate behavior an--” 

“No, no,” he shakes his head once. Y/n bites her tongue at his dismissal. “You said ‘it’s you.’”

Embarrassment knots her stomach. “I just hadn’t realized that I ran into you, General. I--I knew you were coming today, but I wasn’t expecting to see you much less like this.” 

Kirigan’s eyes seem to be nothing more than inviting pools of kindling emotion. So familiar yet so distinct. He can’t be the man from her dreams. The man from her dreams must be nothing more than a composition of traits she finds generally attractive. General Kirigan just happens to possess those features. That explanation is the only thing that keeps Y/n’s feet rooted to the ground, but the longer she looks at him the more that explanation loses its strength. There’s just something so knowing behind his expression, so specific to the face that she’s only seen while asleep. 

Tearing his gaze away to scan the area, Kirigan reaches forward, placing a hand on Y/n’s arm. The touch leaves Y/n warmer than it should. Maybe that’s why she lets him lead her forward, ducking into an empty medical tent. She keeps hold of her bag as he turns, his eyes full of something dark and unknown. But not angry, Y/n notes, no, not angry. The look is too peaceful for rage, perhaps even hopeful. 

“When you looked at me…” He exhales, voice low and sacred, “You said ‘it’s you’.” Y/n can only blink, still mesmerized by something so foreign and familiar all at once. “Do you know me?” 

In his urgency, Kirigan’s hold on Y/n’s arm becomes more assured. Something in Y/n wants to pry herself free in order to prove to herself that she’s capable of resisting his drawl. But his touch is not to trap her, the look in his eyes tells her that. His touch is pleading--desperate and hopeful. 

“Everyone knows you,” when Y/n finally finds her voice, she is not convinced it is her own. 

The corners of Kirigan’s mouth fall downwards, something in him threatening to deflate. “I meant--have you seen me before?” The question is not one Y/n is too willing to answer. How could she tell this strange man, this general she was convinced she’d dislike on some fundamental level while never speaking to him, that she knows him? She knows him like she knows her own beginning. “Because I’ve seen you.” 

Y/n can’t help the way her eyes widen. This doesn’t mean anything, she warns herself, he could have seen her walking. “I didn’t see you, that--that’s why I ran into you--” 

“No, you’re avoiding the question.” Her face is warmer than it was when Danna was teasing her this morning. It’s warmer than it’s ever been. “Because you’ve experienced it as well.” 

The swelling in her chest is overwhelming. “Experienced what?” 

Kirigan eyes the entrance to the tent once more, confirming that no one is approaching. “All of the good dreams,” he exhales, “They have been of you.” 

Y/n can’t help the way everything in her melts. She’s not insane. She’s not projecting something dangerous onto the Shadow Summoner. “I see you in my dreams always.” 

Slowly, he releases his grip on her arm. Watching her like she might be a mirage, Kirigan raises his hand, brushing his knuckles along Y/n’s cheek. She lets him, holding her breath until his hand falls back to his side. A part of Kirigan expected the girl to be a trick of the light, something that his touch would reveal to be a fallacy. But she remains true, watching him with eyes the size of saucers. 

“How long I’ve been waiting for you, you’ll never know.” His voice is as heavy as a lament. 

Y/n feels her back straighten slightly on instinct, desperate to pass whatever scrutiny is being passed over her. “How--how does this happen? How do two strangers dream of each other for so long and...” 

Something knowing colors his smile a shade of ambitious green. “What is your name?” 

“Y/n.” 

Kirigan’s minds flit through lifetimes worth of faint memories. The girl laughing, the girl teary eyed, the girl embodying all the stars he’ll never have, the girl representing all he needs. Y/n. There’s finally a name to her. 

“Y/n,” the name is a gift. Kirigan pulls a ring from his fingers before grabbing Y/n’s arm. Too lost in a strange euphoria, she lets him pull her arm forward before pressing his ring into her skin. Her brow furrows as he begins to guide the metal down her skin. That slight confusion quickly turns to total shock as a thread of light begins to spindle down her skin, following the path he’s creating with the ring. “You and I are going to change the world.”

❧ 27. lessons

❧Masterlist - Previous - Next

❧ A/N: I love reading what everyone thinks bc it’s either like ‘wooohoo iwa!!!’ or ‘fuck this MAN’ AND I DIE EVERY TIME. 

When Iwaizumi offered to walk you back to your hotel, the little voice in your head shifted its tone. Disgust coated the warnings that sliced through your mind and any sense of security your best friend’s words had produced was dismantled in seconds. At first when you saw Iwaizumi and interacted with him, you felt in control. You felt confident in yourself and your ability to draw lines when appropriate. The lessons associated with the athletic trainer remained fresh in your mind - you knew what you wanted from a relationship now and you would not forget it. 

The issue was that your conversation with Kuroo had created small cracks in your sense of self. His lack of belief in you had stung far more than he probably realized. You genuinely valued his opinion, and that was precisely why your mind was in a state of disorder. You valued his opinion so damn much, that the voice inside of your head was no longer yours - it was his. 

And it was for that reason why you had to accept Iwaizumi’s proposal. You had to tell the world who you were, or else it would continue to define you in a manner that you did not consider fit. 

“Thanks for not running away from me today.” Iwaizumi was the first to speak up after you two exited the restaurant. Usually he didn’t mind silence, especially during walks at night. But there was just simply too much he wanted to say to you, so he bravely broke the silence only thirty seconds into the walk. 

“I’m not the one who runs away from problems, Iwaizumi.” A feathery laugh shadowed your response, but the male could not help but feel embarrassed at the message underlying your words.  

“Yeah. I was a big idiot for that.” Rubbing at the back of his neck, he tried to resist the urge to curse under his breath. “For the last month all I’ve done is think about how badly I fucked up. How I could have avoided all of this shit if I used my damn brain.” 

And how he could have been kissing you, instead of missing you every second of the day. 

A thoughtful hum vibrated inside of your throat as you nodded to indicate your understanding. It was good to hear that he too used the time to reflect on his behaviour. People who reflected over their actions were far more redeemable than those that simply made excuses for their behaviour. 

“It’s funny because when I was younger, I never schemed with my friends. I was the only one who didn’t. And I somehow managed to think scheming would be a good idea now.” The disgust he felt towards himself could easily be traced along his features. And as you peered up at him to demonstrate that he had your undivided attention, he could not meet your gaze. “It’s crazy how you can lose who you are because of a shitty relationship.” 

Pressing your lips together, you averted your consideration towards the concrete below. Of course you knew that much too. Losing yourself in the process of trying to find love was kinda your specialty. But your time with him was truly the last straw. That was why you were prepared to take the lesson and leave forever. Or so, at least you thought you were prepared to complete the latter part. If anything, the last few hours had shown you that while you had distanced yourself from him, you still cared. 

Even though you had chosen to walk away, you were still glancing back, waiting for him to meet you again, once he was ready. 

“Not that I’m saying you’re the reason I changed! I meant my ex. Takara.” Iwaizumi blinked down at you, mentally scolding himself for leaving his last statement so vague. “She... fucked with my head so good that I didn’t realize I changed. I ignored my friends when they told me I changed. I only started to believe it when I met you. When I realized I was being an asshole to someone who deserved way better.” 

“I understand, Iwaizumi.” 

Yes, you understood him on levels he possibly could not comprehend. But did that change the history you two shared? Did that change the fact he toyed with your heart and acted like a child? Did his supposed character development mean that you should give him a second chance? 

Hell, was he even asking for one? 

“But I guess maybe you’re not asking for my understanding.” Biting on the inside of your cheek, you tilted your chin up to catch his eyes.  “Well, if you want my forgiveness, you have it.” 

To your surprise, it was not relief that washed over his visage, it was anguish. 

“I didn’t even say I’m sorry yet and you’re forgiving me?” Pausing in the middle of the sidewalk, he swallowed harshly. His chest was inflamed, and the gentle smile ghosting upon your lips only drove him further insane. 

“You may have not said the words, but I got the point.” After smoothing your palms against your outfit, you lifted your shoulders into a small shrug. 

“Don’t forgive me yet. I don’t deserve it.” Iwaizumi wanted nothing more than to capture your hands in his, but he knew he shouldn’t. And to distract his twitching fingers, he curled them in towards his palm. “Let me make it up to you first. Let me show you I can be better. Then you can forgive me.” 

For a moment you merely stood stuck in your spot, unsure how to react to his counter position. A normal person would have happily accepted your forgiveness. But Iwaizumi was dead set on making it up to you - he wanted to be worthy of your forgiveness, and that fact alone had your heart beating erratically. 

“We can’t keep starting over. I don’t want to keep acting like we’re starting with a blank slate.” 

“I don’t want to start over, y/n. I don’t buy into that crap anymore. I know I fucked up, but now I want to show you that I can be better. Let me care about you the way you deserve.” His throat constricted painfully as he proclaimed his last sentence. He didn’t know how to convey his feelings in any other way. This was the best he could do, and he had to hope it would be enough. 

After another thirty seconds of silence, you slowly nodded your head. 

“Okay.” The confirmation was exhaled softly, contrasting the blood roaring inside of your ears. 

Were you giving in too fast? Oh god, why were you giving in so fast? Why did you care so much about him? Why - 

“Thank you, y/n. Thank you.” The smile twitching upon his mouth was faint but it showcased just how much your concession meant to him. “Can I ... hug you? Please?” 

After catching your second nod, he loosened his fingers and stepped closer to you. And as he brought you into his embrace, your mind was consumed by a single thought. 

Please don’t break my heart.

[if you were removed/want to be added, please leave me an ask]

[sunghun]

enhypen pranking you

requested; yes!

warnings; some cursing??

note; help i feel like this took forever to write 😭 and i literally have no excuses other than procrastination and the fact that i couldn’t think of pranks for like half the boys. hopefully my next post won’t take as long...

unedited so apologies for any mistakes/typos!!

희승 | heeseung;

okay i feel like heeseung would be the guy to go on reddit and be like “how can i prank my s/o without making them cry or get angry”

will absolutely research until he finds the perfect prank

he decides on the one where you wipe off your s/o’s kisses bc like

that’s a relatively harmless prank right??

if only he knew

so later that day when you two meet up you give him a kiss on the cheek like always

and he just . wipes it off

you can tell he’s kinda trying to be discreet about it

and at first you’re kinda confused by it

but then figured maybe you accidentally put too much chapstick on and left some on his cheek

bc you know. that can happen

but then throughout the day he just?? keeps wiping them off???

eventually you can’t take it anymore

“alright lee heeseung what the fuck is your problem”

immediately he knows he’s screwed up

like you used his government name and everything

“i might’ve been.....idk.....pranking you. or something.”

“😐😐😐”

never tries anything like that again

who knew you could be so scary?

제이 | jay;

okay it took me like 8 years to think of a prank jay would do

but i feel like he might try the “pretending to talk bad about my s/o in another language” thing

like one day when you and him were just having a casual little date

he gets a ‘phone call’

and he’s just like “hey babe do u mind if i take this? sunghoon said he needed to talk about smth”

“ofc baby go ahead 🤗”

and so it begins

the first time you didn’t even realize he said your name

so the next time he like . overemphasized it

and yeah it got your attention it also made you suspicious as hell

his first mistake

you looked at him questioningly thinking that maaaaybe you were being dramatic and he was just trying to get ur attention

but he just ignored you and kept talking

and you kept hearing your name Very clearly

and you can see jay discreetly glancing at you to see your reaction

which just confirms that it’s a prank

and you’re pretty sure you know which one he was trying to do

so after like ten minutes with absolute no reaction from you

jay finally hangs up

and you’re just like “did u have fun pretending to trash-talk about me to sunghoon?”

he just freezes for a second

bc damn he did not expect you to figure it out that quick

but then he just wraps his arm around ur shoulders and grins

“typical y/n. sucking the fun out of everything.”

you’re about to protest

but then he gives you a very sweet kiss

so all is forgiven ❤️

for now

제이크 | jake;

i’m sure we’ve all seen those videos of someone calling their significant other by their name instead of a pet-name or smth

so naturally jake decided to try it on you

bc. ya know.

he only ever calls you cutsey nicknames and shit

his friends like to tease him abt forgetting your name because like. literally he never calls you by it.

but it’s okay because you never call him by his either

bUT anyways

one day when you two were just chilling at your place watching movies and stuff

and you were in the kitchen making some popcorn

so he just goes for it

“hey Y/N can you bring me some water?”

he has to stop himself from losing it at the way you just freeze

“i didn’t know we were back on that level, JAEYUN.”

oh shit

is literally the 😦 emoji

was not expecting the uno reverse card

makes up for it as soon as you sit back down

kisses all over your face and calls you the most ridiculous names.

“i’m sorry my lovely sugarbear, sweetie-pie, pumpkin, baby boo.”

he’s just lucky you didn’t bring him a glass of ice and tell him to wait <3

성훈 | sunghoon;

recently, you got a box from ur mom that was full of all your favorite snacks that you couldn’t get in korea

and you were like . so excited

which is why sunghoon, your lovely but slightly evil boyfriend

decided to play a prank on you

you had been gushing to him about how excited you were to have some of them when you got home from work/classes

and so he decided to hide them

later when you went to get them you almost had a heart attack when you couldn’t find them

“hey babe have seen those snacks my mom sent?”

“oh you mean those odd looking ones? yeah the guys came over earlier and we kinda finished them off. sorry hon.”

now

sunghoon was absolutely ready for you to get mad

he was prepared for shouting and maybe even having a pillow thrown his way

what he was not prepared for was your face falling and tears to start welling up in your eyes

“o-oh. okay.”

“wait y/n-“

but you had already started crying

which might seem like an overreaction but like

you’d had a really shitty day

and looking forward to those snacks and cuddling with your boyfriend was the only thing keeping you going

and you just couldn’t help it :(

“y/n, baby i’m sorry please stop crying.”

runs as fast as he can to where he hid them and brings them back to you

“look, see? i was just pranking you.”

promises that he won’t ever do something like that again

bc he hates seeing you cry :/

선우 | sunoo;

it took me so long to think of a prank sunoo would do 😭

but after some careful consideration

i think he would do smth like give you really salty cookies just to see how you react

like are you gonna tell him they’re awful in a nice way or will you just tell him straight up that they taste like crap??

is so obvious about it tho

“hey y/n wanna try these cookies i made with love just for you~?”

watches your reaction very closely when you take the first bite

he can tell that you’re trying so hard not to make a face

“wow, babe. these are uh, really good. thank you so much!”

wait what

are you.....trying to spare his feelings???

“are you sure? they’re not too salty or anything?”

“nope! i love them!”

did you just take another bite???

this time you can’t hide the grimace quite as well tho 😭

at his blank look you try to take another bite

but he stops you before you can poison yourself anymore

“babe you weren’t supposed to pretend to like them i know they’re awful 🤦‍♂️”

is very touched that you would eat a cookie that is like half salt just for him <3

정원 | jungwon;

okay don’t @ me but i feel like jungwon would just like . try to ignore you

like he saw someone on youtube doing it and their s/o was being super affectionate and cute trying to get their attention

and he’s just like.....😏 hmm.....

so he tries it out the next time you come over to his place

and you’re just . so confused??

bc aside from him opening the door to let you in

your usually sweet and cuddly boyfriend is acting like you’re not even here??

you start trying to get his attention with snuggles and cheek kisses and bringing him something to eat/drink

but the boy won’t budge

and now you’re paranoid

did you do something wrong??

is he really upset????

finally you can’t take it

and you come up to him a little watery eyed

“i don’t know what i did, but i’m sorry. i’ll try not to do it again.”

literally breaks his heart in two 💔

immediately apologizes and tells you that it’s a prank

and then cuddles you the rest of the night without letting go <3

니키 | niki;

one day while watching random youtube videos

niki got the stupid brilliant idea to pretend that he was gonna break up with you

of course he had to wait for the right timing and whatnot

and that seemed to be just a few days later

the two of you planned to play video games and watch some movies

and that seemed like the perfect time to do it

so a few minutes after he got to your place

and you two had just sat down on the sofa

he turned to you all serious and said

“y/n. i hate to do it like this, but i can’t keep it in any longer. i think we should break up.”

“oh thank God.”

wait what

why did you sound.....relieved???

“wh-what?

“yeah i was actually planning on breaking up with you, but you beat me to it! nice one, bro.”

niki frowns

“y/n this isn’t funny.”

“oh but it would’ve been funny if you did it to me?”

yeah turns out jake found out about his little prank and tipped you off

omg but once niki realizes that you’re not actually dumping him he just kinda.....crushes you into a hug

“i’m so sorry you’re right it isn’t funny please don’t leave me.”

the rest of the day is spent much more calmly after you two vow to only play harmless pranks on each other.

[sweet-flower-dreams]

Thought about a situation where Klee is like a close friend of the reader as they travel a lot together and she finds out that the reader has a huge crush on someone(Fischl,Eula and Yanfei,all seperate)but reader is too nervous to ask so-Klee sneakily sets the reader and the character on a date to try and help the reader?

Random idea lmao-once again do this request and your own time and pace and take care!! :)

MATCHMAKER KLEE

“Klee thinks that you need to stop being a big baby!”

“I can’t just do that, y’know…”

Fischl

You’ve told Klee about your commissions with Fischl

And she picked up pretty fast that you liked her a lot

“Well… we had to go and check out a few suspicious monster camps, and uh… she was really cool…”

You were blushing all over !! You did that a lot when talking about Fischl

And since Klee follows you basically every where

She knows you’re really close with Fischl

Klee thinks it’s kinda annoying that you won’t ask her out,

so she takes things into her own tiny hands

“Fischl! Fischl! Y/n says they want to talk to you!! Cmon!”

She drags Fischl over to you, much to your surprise

“Ok now y/n, you can tell her!! What do you mean no!? You gotta!”

Klee forces you to cough up a really awkward confession

“Heeey Fischl…uh.. I- I really like you. And, I was hoping you would, uh, go out with me? It’s, it’s ok if you don’t want to… but.. I guess.. I don’t know”

Klee already knew Fischl was gonna say yes, because she did lots of snooping and asking to make sure your feelings wouldn’t get hurt! :))

“Oh! I… I suppose… I could accompany you for an outing… Your feelings are reciprocated.”

How could she refuse when you looked at her like that?

Even the Prinzessin der Verurteilung was not immune to your charm

though you deny you had any, much to Klee’s disapproval!

Eventually, Klee is very happy to see you both going steady, and even Oz likes you!

Fischl wouldn’t mind if you were to rule by her side <3

Eula

You always seem to be with Eula, doing something or the other

Klee may be small, but she’s not stupid!

She can see the way you look at Eula

and the way Eula stares at you when she thinks no one is watching

And Klee thinks it’s about time you both kiss already >:(

So she gives Eula a little card saying “can yuo plese go outt with y/n?” (Spelling included)

And it’s got little drawings of you, eula, and Klee on it!! <33

Eula is really caught off guard by this, since KLEE is asking her to go out with you???

So she goes to check with you and,

You just burst into a flaming red blush

“Klee, what did you-???”

“Big Brother Albedo said that you liked Miss Eula! But you won’t say anything and it’s annoying Klee :(((“

Now Eula is blushing awww

“Is this… true, y/n? You like me?”

Klee sorta giggles and runs off bc she knows that she’s won 🙄

You and Eula go on a date later that you both SWEAR is a professional outing but… babes we both know it’s not

You both kissed when Eula was walking you home hehe <3

Yanfei

Klee follows you everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE

That includes to Liyue

Does Jean know? Maybe, maybe not…

But Klee knows that you have a big crush on a certain legal advisor !!

You make up fake legal troubles for an excuse to see her

And ofc she catches on,

I mean who is out here “losing their pet goldfish and is getting sued”??

Klee helps you come up with them most of the time

But when that doesn’t really go anywhere, Klee sends Yanfei a “letter”

“hi mis yanfai!! my freind y/n relly likes you so plees go outt wiht them :)) Klee promisis to be a good girl whil y/n is gon!”

Klee tried SO HARD OK

She’s not very good at spelling, but she thought the best way for yanfei to get her message was through letters

Yanfei thought it was the cutest thing ever

The next time you go see her?

You both are officially going on a date

“So, a little bomb told me that you’ve got a thing for me! You really should have told me sooner, cutie!”

“A-ah, Right… sorry.. I’ll take you to Wanmin to make up for it?”

Klee: 1 - Awkwardness: 0

A/N: AA I LOVED THIS ONE!! it was so fun to write 💕💕💕 Klee would definitely be such a sneaky lil baby and try to get people together!! Thanks for the request :)
