Hello hello! I am a little shy but may I please have a Kakyoin x reader fic where the reader is a healer? Thank you :)

`` To mend a broken heart. ``

[ Kakyoin Noriaki x healer!reader ]

[ You're the healer of the Stardust Crusaders. ..Who happens to be Kakyoin's childhood friend. And his biggest crush. This should go well.. ]

[ # Pining (kinda), jealousy, angst with no comfort, a bit canon-divergent, Kakyoin being insecure af ]

[ A/N : uhm this was supposed to be just a nice soft fic. But I felt evil and got carried away sorry teehee ]

Your ability to heal has always fascinated him.

No, that's not entirely true. You have always fascinated him.

Kakyoin Noriaki. Your teammate, your best friend since childhood, and now your secret admirer.

He knew you were special from the moment he laid eyes on you, but it took him a while to learn and recognize what he was actually feeling.

But now you're all he thinks about, and it makes him ache. The two of you would never be together. How could someone like him be the boyfriend of someone as perfect as you?

He sat on the edge of his bed, his head resting in the palm of his hand. He's thinking of you, again. Of how he wished you were with him right now, but instead he had to share a hotel room with Joseph.

What made it worse? The walls were paper-thin and he could hear everything from the neighboring room, which just so happened to belong to you and Jotaro.

"I'm fine, seriously.. I'm telling you-- will you get that thing away from me?"

"Oops, sorry Jotaro! [Stand name] likes not listening to me. Come here, you-!"

He smiled to himself. Your Stand, ironically, has been a pain for you ever since you developed it as a child. You could never quite get it to listen. You'd always come to him for help.

"But, to be fair.. you do need my Stand to help you, Jotaro. You look a little worn out."

Before he heard Jotaro give any semblance of a response, you continued, "I care about you a lot. I don't want you to get hurt."

And his smile quickly faded. You probably liked Jotaro more than him.. of course.

What did Jotaro have that he didn't?

"Hey, Kakyoin." The raspy voice snapped him out of his thoughts. In his sadness, he had completely forgotten about Joseph. "You alright?"

He let out a sigh. "Yeah," he said, though even he knew it wasn't convincing. "I'm fine."

He heard your voice through the walls again and his frown deepened. As did his longing for you.

And Joseph clearly noticed.

"Ahh, I see. Teen romance, eh?" Kakyoin internally cringed at his tone, and just buried his head into his hands. But unfortunately for him, Joseph is a persistent man. He would not leave him alone unless he got the entire story.

He groaned quietly. "How'd you know?" Kakyoin asked, lifting his head just enough to peek at the old man, who was now grinning at him like a child.

"Oh, come on, it's so obvious!" Joseph laughed, putting an arm around the redhead's shoulder. "You look at her like she just descended from Heaven every time you see her."

Kakyoin could feel a soft shade of red tint his cheeks in embarrassment at being called out. "..is it that bad?" He muttered.

"Oh yeah." He only chuckled in reply. "You've got it bad."

Footsteps echoed across the hallway, and before Kakyoin could register, you stepped inside.

"I don't mean to intrude," you began, "I just want to check on Kakyoin."

The way you smiled at him made his heart skip a beat. Joseph was right.. he had it bad.

"Ah, that's alright." Joseph stood up from his seat. "I was just about to head out."

"Where are you heading, Mr. Joestar?" You asked curiously.

"Well, y'see," he started, shooting a knowing glance at Kakyoin. "There's been a small.. issue. So me and you have to switch rooms." He didn't miss the questioning look on the teen's face. "Is that alright?"

You were surprised for a moment, but quickly nodded. "Yeah, of course! I don't mind."

"Great." Joseph patted you on the back. "Have fun, you two," he called out before making his leave.

Kakyoin had to hold back another sigh. Of course the old man would try to fix his mess of a love life. But, he supposed he had to be grateful.. his wishes were granted.

His body froze up a bit when he felt your hand touch his shoulder. "Kakyoin?" Your voice called out to him in a soft tone.

He shook himself out of his thoughts. You were here for a check-up.. though, you'd probably stay now that Joseph got you to switch rooms. "Uh, right-"

You gently took his hand, examining the scratches on it. It was still stained scarlet from the fight which had only happened about an hour ago. That wasn't the only part of him that was red though.

He could only hope you wouldn't notice.

He barely even registered that you'd manifested your Stand and were working on healing his wounds. He was too preoccupied with admiring your face to notice that the dried blood was slowly disappearing and the scratches were closing.

"There," You said, rubbing your thumb over the place where the wounds used to be.

Kakyoin flashed you a smile and gave you a nod. "Thanks, [Y/N]. You're a lifesaver."

"Oh, it's nothing, really-" you insisted, but your voice trailed off once he took your hand. Too much? He couldn't help but think. He didn't wanna break any boundaries with you.

"It isn't nothing," he reassured you. "I really appreciate it, you know. You and all the work you put into taking care of us."

There was a moment of silence. He just stared into your eyes fondly. He took in your expression, how your eyes seemed to widen a little at his words.

"Although, uh.." he added, admittedly in a slightly awkward way. "I'm sure everyone does."

You chuckled and pulled him into a hug. The world around him froze, and he felt as if the butterflies in his stomach could burst right through him at any moment. The only thing that mattered to him was you.

"Thanks, Kak-"

"Please. You know can call me Noriaki."

You smiled. "Thanks, Noriaki."

That small moment of peace and quiet was much appreciated. The two of you sat there as you pulled back from the hug, content with the silence.

Until the high-pitched shriek which came from outside interrupted you, soon followed by Polnareff bursting into the room.

"[Y/N], YOU'VE GOT TO COME QUICK!" He shouted. "IGGY'S GOTTEN INTO A FIGHT- DO SOMETHING WITH THAT DOG!"

You let out a sigh, but you didn't hesitate to help out. You never did. That's what Kakyoin loved about you.

"I'll be back soon," you said to him, and the two of you parted with a wave.

It was strange, yet he couldn't help but feel like there was an emptiness inside him.. a gaping hole in his heart without you there to complete him.

You sprinted across the road, despite the fact that you felt like your feet could barely carry you. The tears threatened to spill out of your eyes at every moment, but you continued on.

You knew it wouldn't be easy. You knew the consequences it would carry. You were aware how dangerous DIO was, and still chose to go on the adventure with the rest of the Crusaders. Avdol and Iggy already had to pay with their lives..

But oh, why.. why did he have to take him?

You finally reached Kakyoin, and kneeled down in front of him immediately. The noise of a splash sounded under you. You wanted to ignore the feeling of immense dread, to pretend not to know you were kneeling in his own pooling blood.

It looked bad - no, that wasn't a strong enough word to describe just how terrible of a condition he was in.

But he was still alive, and that fact alone gave you enough motivation to try to save him.

You wasted no time in manifesting your Stand. You tried to focus on his face, instead of the gaping wound on his abdomen, but you couldn't.

His gaze flicked over to you. His eyes no longer carried the same softness he had usually - just a sad, defeated look of sorrow.

"[Y/N]..." he managed to choke out. You placed your hand on his as your Stand did its job. He was already starting to feel colder.

"It's okay. I'm here. You're gonna be alright.." You whispered words of reassurance, but even you could notice the shakiness of your voice. It didn't seem to bother Kakyoin though, as he just smiled.

You wanted to ignore that your hand was starting to get stickier from the blood that slowly poured down his hand. His blood.

You were becoming more and more desperate, and it showed. Your Stand was working hard, but Kakyoin was losing blood faster than your Stand could heal.

What bothered you the most, though?

Kakyoin seemed to have already accepted his fate.

Your hand clutched his tightly as you gritted your teeth in frustration. "You can't give up, damn it.." you muttered, letting out a pained sigh. "You've always wanted to play the hero. Ever since we were kids.." you heard your voice break as you looked at him, and a few tears streaked down your cheeks. "Look where that got you."

Kakyoin, with the little air he had left, let out a huff at your words. His hand reached out to your face, as shaky and weak as it can get, in an attempt to wipe your tears.

"No..." you sobbed desperately.

He was losing blood - and you were losing hope.

"[Y/N]..." his voice was weak and barely audible, but he had just enough strength left to mutter his final words..

"I love you.."

You let out a sob, while he let out his last breath. His body went limp, and now that he was no longer concious, you didn't feel the need to hold back your pain.

"No.. Noriaki, no-!" You wailed. "You- You can't be dead... We were supposed to go home together.. you- you promised.."

More incoherent sounds left you as you kneeled in front of him. You couldn't bear the ache in your body, that undeniable sense of loss and grief.

Kakyoin was gone, and he'd never come back.

It was a horrible thought, but it was the truth, no matter what you did, or how much you tried to deny it. Maybe you were too late, maybe you didn't try hard enough. None of that mattered now, though. You couldn't erase the past.

You could heal all the wounds in the world, treat every small scratch...

...But it was impossible to mend a broken heart.

It’s so funny going from Neil’s asexual pov to jeans definitely NOT asexual pov

Neil: Kevin is tall and has a tattoo

Jean: pretty boy with a soft smile and beautiful green eyes

Neil: Renee is a women and has hair

Jean: a force of hope and beauty, an anomaly in a world that’s ugly and bleak. She is the sun.

Neil: Jeremy is the captain of the Trojans and he smiles a lot for some reason

Jean: his bleach blonde hair frames his tanned freckled skin, his broad shoulders and tiny waist give way to his thicc thighs and ass

But also the reverse

Neil: Andrews strong unwavering frame and honey colored eyes

Jean: the tiny goalkeeper

PARKS AND RECREATION 4.04 — PAWNEE RANGERS | DELETED SCENE

[beif-weaves]

Cowl for my friend :> This is my favorite color palette I've worked with so far

Finished: 1/14/25

Warp: Araucania Huasco Aran Kettle Dyes- Blacksmith 75% superwash merino 25% nylon, Yarn Dragon American DK- Harvest Pilaf 100% superwash merino

Weft: Araucania- Blacksmith, Malabrigo Rios- Siri 100% superwash merino

Dent: 8

Structure: plain weave

Notes: I used the weft blown hero cowl pattern for this one. I let my friend pick out the yarn he wanted paired with the indigo from some potential options i picked up. The light blue with orange specks wasn't originally intended for this project but I wasn't going to have enough of the dark indigo to finish it so I did alternating blocks of random sizes but I ended up loving how the orange flecks interacted with the rust. I bought the variegated rust color from Yarn Dragon while I was in Seattle and I definitely want to pick up more, there was a really nice selection of hand dyed yarns. This was also my first time working with superwash and it was interesting not getting the shrinkage/tightening I'm used to when wet setting but I was able to get the weave to tighten by doing a short cycle in the dryer on the delicate setting.

Sometimes I think I’m not that weird and then I spend a solid amount of time wondering what kind of contraceptives are available in the Grishaverse and specifically how accessible they are in the Barrel, particularly based on the quote “Getting pregnant isn’t actually a special talent. Ask any luckless girl in the Barrel”. Is unwanted pregnancy more common in the Barrel than elsewhere in Ketterdam because of the lack of social services in the city and especially in its poorest areas? is it because teen pregnancies often lead to kids being kicked out so they end up in the Barrel? is there a higher statistic by product of the pleasure houses and especially if there aren’t safe contraceptives readily available in the pleasure houses? and if so what do the people running the pleasure houses do to the girls because of it? is it because unexpected pregnancies in higher social classes would just lead to rushed marriages so it’s more noticeable in the Barrel? or is the comment based solely on Kaz’s individual experience of the city, ie its slums, in which case whilst it’s telling us about the Barrel it’s not making any particular comparison to the rest of the city? I kind of assume there must be some contraceptives available because the possibility of pregnancies in the pleasure houses is never discussed but I doubt they’re readily available and based on what we know about the resources and development in the worldbuilding and timeline may not be the most reliable, in which case what is happening to indentured girls who end up impregnated? Because, somehow, I just don’t think they’re safe. (Where could I have possibly gotten that idea?) So yeah, I am, in fact, that weird. But I really need to know the answer to this.

James perfectly understood why Regulus didn’t need a grand, over-the-top romantic gesture to know James was his. But there were so many ways to say 'I love you, because I know you, so please, let me show you'. He had always been a romantic, a devoted man, but more than anything, he was desperate to put all of his love on display—to give Regulus a date he could point at on any calendar and smile to himself because that was the day James said I’m yours in every way.

WITH YOU - 1.2k // G //

Happy early Valentine's day!

This story started as something light and fun. In Mexico asking someone to be your girlfriend/boyfriend has always been this Thing and I couldn't stop thinking about James getting to do that with Regulus. That's how this idea started, @pretentiouswreckingball brought it to life with her outstanding artistic skills <3 This is the accurate mexican (lowkey buchón) James Potter of my dreams

One thing that I really appreciate about martin as a character is how you can observe him becoming more open over the seasons. Specifically with how he expresses himself, I like the way he noticeably becomes more vocal in his anger and pettiness by season 5. There are several things that I think contribute to this, and all of them make me varying levels of sad and happy all at once:

Obviously being part of the magnus archives in any capacity is enough to make someone more openly angry (as evidenced by pretty much everyone), and martin isn't excluded from that general "I'm being held captive by an invisible entity and the world is on the brink of collapse" rage.

Job security. This one is probably silly, but I can imagine that part of the reason that martin's season one, people-pleasing personality eases up slightly as time goes on could genuinely be because he literally can't lose his job. He's canonically stated to be manipulative, and I'm sure that one of his main reasons for him being so is that it was one of the only ways to assure that he and his mother were taken care of. Once he has the assurance that the only way he'll lose his job is via Death or Dismemberment (and also maybe once his mom died oop) I'm sure it was a lot easier to ngaf.

Comfort!!!!! Again! Martin is a manipulative guy! Not maliciously! Maybe not even consciously sometimes, but to me it feels like he's more likely to put on the gentle, friendly face with people he doesn't trust or isn't comfortable with. Come season 4 and 5, though, he's actively more petty towards and around jon (notably in how he reacts to Jon's gouging suggestion and just his general demeanor come apocalypse times). Part of this could certainly be bitterness leaking over because of The Circumstances, but I also feel that it has a lot more to do with the fact that he isn't necessarily trying to impress jon any more. In fact, at this point jon is the one actively seeking him out. He's beyond the point of needing to prove himself or make himself smaller for jon. By season five it's clear that jon loves him and that he'd go to the ends of the earth for him, so martin lets loose. He holds a grudge and he makes jealous requests and he snaps at times. He's a little bit bossy, and he ignores requests, and he sets boundaries. And all of this is so so beautiful because this is a person that, for years, has had to make himself as passive and small and as serving as possible - if not to appease his mother (who hates him) to keep her taken care of. So slowly watching him find people that he doesn't feel the need to act small around or to act as a caretaker to (unless he WANTS to) is a wonderful wonderful thing that I love.

Now, despite having watched the show since the beginning, I have not been on Tumblr and more so the Ninjago fandom on here all that long. So logically, seeing something from this fandom from before that time can be confusing. That said, what in the ever loving fuck is onceler Morro?

"bottom hoffman" this "bottom strahm" that no actually the dynamic really just depends on who's more pissed off at the other on any given day. actually it's who throws the first punch
