#yet at the same time I'm thankful to be a manga reader ...

[haru-chi]

-a bit Manga Spoiler ahead-

The more I think about it the more I just don't know what to feel about doing Miharu's arc before doing an extended hand story ><

tbh I feared them doing that and was talking about this with a friend before the Miharu's arc preview even dropped but since they did a pretty good job so far this season unlike the past two, I wanted to have faith ...

maybe it's fine to do it after which would result in different reaction yet reach the same end plus it's up to oneself to decide how to perceive something ...

personally speaking, I don't want Miharu's arc before the extended hand story ... for me it won't hit the same ...

don't get me wrong ... be it I saw it before or after I know Miharu's arc will always be special to me ...

but you know, being "special" hold different kind of meaning ... the Miharu's arc being "special" without an extended hand prior knowledge will be different than it being "special" with that knowledge beforehand .... it won't be same for me ... the experience will be different .. the reaction will be different ... I don't know if I make any sense but don't know how to explain it well enough ><

I'm not only talking about how Seiji's reaction is different in both stories when Natori offered him help .. nor am I talking about how their relationship in it was pretty positive by its end ...

it's something more than just those ...

a glimpse at Seiji's family burden

Seiji's sad wish of wanting a Shiki

Natori trying to understand him

it's those little details, those unspoken things that change your view of characters and character's reaction in stories ...

that's why when you read/watch Miharu's arc with this knowledge it makes it so different ... everything is just so different since Miharu's arc expand on those same ideas while adding more .. this same burden .. this same sad wish .. this same delicate and complicated relationship between Seiji and Natori ...

Miharu's arc something too special for me, that it felt unreal to have sometimes ... but I don't think it would've been so without an extended hand story ..

as I said it would've been still special even without it but wouldn't be the same kind of special :)

also, I guess the questions and mystery would've been different in a way too by the end of it or throughout the story ...

I know cuz what I asked about and was killing myself to know throughout Miharu's arc was questions I wouldn't have asked nor considered if I didn't know an extended hand beforehand ^^

anyway, in the end since the anime team decided to change the order of events, I hope Manga reader don't ruin anything for anime-only or spoil an extended hand for them for the sake of Miharu's arc (surely the anime will adapt it) or make them feel they're missing something out if they didn't ask for it themselves ...

let them live and enjoy their own type of experience and memories while we watch over them silently ^^

I'm only sharing my view and emotions regarding the matter since I can't deny I'm a bit sad since I wanted my friend to live through the same experience as close as possible but oh well ...

[kodzubaby]

how it begins

first part

all characters aged-up. set after the manga. katsuki is 29 years old, while reader is 28.

katsuki's coming.

your heart thudded against your chest as you stared up at the ceiling, the soft pink glow of your bedside lamp washing the room in warmth. fifteen minutes. that's all the time you had before katsuki comes. you could already imagine him to be standing at your door, arms probably crossed, scowl etched into his face like always.

you sat up slowly, still hugging the pink bunny stuff toy he gave you all those years ago. your mind is spiraling in every direction. you know he won't be angry. despite how angry he always looks, he's the type to analyze things before moving into action. and katsuki has known your desire of making a family since you were young. always envisioning yourself to be a loving mother because you never had one. but you can't help but overthink.

when the knock came, you jumped. you didn’t even have to ask who it was, katsuki always knocks in the same way—two sharp raps. you padded to the door barefoot, hoodie too big, hair a mess, hugging the pink bunny stuff toy like an emotional support plushie, and opened the door.

katsuki stood there in his black hoodie and sweatpants, while holding a plastic bag. he just got out of his shift when he got your call and immediately changed out of his hero suit.

he looked at you for a moment, eyes flicking to your face, then down to the bunny you were still holding. “…you still sleep with that thing?”

you huff, ever the sassy and bratty, the attitude that allowed you to stomach katsuki's behavior and actually stay by his side. “it's soft."

"soft? you're just being a sappy shit." he stepped inside, kicked off his shoes, and made his way to your couch like he owned the place—which, in a way, he did. he’d been in every corner of your life for as long as you could remember.

you follow him to the couch and smack him with the bunny. "what, i can't love your gifts now?!"

"the fuck, woman?!" katsuki gave you a harsh glare but didn't do anything back as he placed the plastic bag on the table and started to pull out everything from inside it.

"oohhh, what did you buy?" you sat beside him as you watch him pull out the food.

"some shit you like. you're being a fucking emotional mess, thought you'd like a dose of shitty chocolates." he spat like he's disgusted by the thought of chocolates. katsuki has always be a spice person, while you're more of a sweet person. always eating chocolates and strawberry drinks.

"aww, thanks, kats." you reached out for a bar of chocolate and immediately unwraped it.

just as you bit on the chocolate bar, katsuki spoke. "...you serious about what you said on the phone?"

you swallow the chocolate bar and put it down. "mmhm, been thinking about it. i want a family. but i can't have that yet cuz i don't have a husband, but i want to have a child." you laugh awkwardly, feeling slightly embarrassed.

he let out a slow breath. “you want a kid. and you want me to be the father.”

you look up at him. "i wanna restate what i said earlier, kats." you look at him in the eye. "i asked you about this not because you’re my last option, but because i trust you. more than anyone. and if I’m gonna do this alone, i at least want to know that the father is a good person—and is someone i care about."

he stared at you, something unreadable in his gaze. then, quietly, “you ever think maybe i'd wanna be more than just a donor?”

you blinked at him, stunned. “what?”

he let out a breath, leaning forward, elbows on his knees. “look… i've been thinking about that shit too. not the whole ‘get someone pregnant’ part, but like… a family. i'm almost thirty. it’s been on my mind.”

you giggled. "i thought the only thought you have is being the number 1 hero."

as you said this, katsuki promptly took a few strand of your hair and tug on it. "what the fuck, dumbass? we're having a serious conversation."

you laugh loudly as you pull your hair away from his hand. "i'm sorry!! hahaha! okay okay seriously, you're thinking about starting a family too?"

katsuki sighs and leans back on the couch, “i’ve dated, but nothing ever sticks. and if i’m gonna have a family… if i’m gonna raise a kid and do all the hard shit that comes with it… i want to do it with someone i actually know. someone i trust.”

“are you—are you serious?”

“dead serious, dumbass.” he turns his head to look at your face. “if we’re doing this, we’re doing this together. no 'just get me pregnant and leave.' i want the kid. i want a family, and i wanna do it with you."

you bit your lip, unsure. "are you sure? it's—it's a huge responsibility..."

"dumbass." katsuki rolls his eyes and flicks your forehead. "from the start, you think i'm just gonna let you take my sperm, watch you get pregnant and do all the difficult shit alone?"

you shake your head. no, katsuki isn't like that. he has never been the type to do things half-way.

"there you have your answer, dumbass."

"stop calling me dumbass." you pout, clutching the bunny plush closer to your chest.

"i'll keep calling you dumbass 'cuz you're being a dumbass right now."

you roll your eyes at his attitude but decided to focus on the important matter. "so, we're seriously doing this? together?"

katsuki nods. “yeah, together. doctor appointments, weird cravings, middle-of-the-night breakdowns—whatever it is, i'm in. i'm gonna be the father. from day one.”

a silence falls between you, heavy but no longer uncertain. he’s always been this way—gruff, loud, brutally honest. but underneath that sharpness is someone who shows up, someone who cares.

you nod, slowly. “okay.”

he huffs. “okay.”

then, after a beat, “guess we should start looking at clinics or something.”

you blink, confused. “huh? why?"

he smirks. “what? do you know when your next ovulation is?"

you laugh, tears finally spilling—relief, fear, and a little bit of something warm and new. “god, you’re the worst.”

“you've known that since we were three." he says, lips twitching.

and maybe that’s how it begins—not with romance or grand gestures, and definitely not in the traditional way. but with two people who’ve always chosen each other. who still do.

Hi , first time requesting something but could you do a Qin Shi Huang x shy fem River goddess reader hc or one shot (I don't mind) , possibly fluff , reader is the goddess of the sea/rivers in China (so Mazu) , and QSH finds her after his match , wondering why she's so familiar, QSH saw her once dancing byherself when he was still a proper ruler of China. I think she'd look like how Mazu looks on the pictures I've seen, I think I'd like QSH to try to marry Reader.

Please and Thank you

Qin Shi Huang x Mazu! Reader

It was nice doing this request. Forgive me if he sounds OOC. It's because I haven't read any manga after season 2 due to there being no hard copies in English in my state. I'm only going off of what my friend has told about their personality traits, without spoilers. Hope you enjoy reading, and I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes!!

Fluff, idk who actually won the round

Record of Ragnarok Masterlist

Searching For You

Qin Shi has been wandering around China. Being an emperor was draining and decided to see where more forces were needed in case of an invasion from any neighboring countries.

While he was walking around, he heard a faint yet soothing voice coming from the distance.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to follow the voice. There, he hid behind a tree and saw a beautiful maiden dancing in the river that flowed by here.

That beautiful maiden was you, Mazu, the Chinese Goddess of the sea. However, he didn’t know who you were.

You didn’t notice Qin Shi behind the tree as you kept dancing. Your red hanfu flowed elegantly with your movements, and the gold hairpins and jewelry that you wore swayed with you.

Qin Shi couldn’t take his eyes off of you, and he studied your appearance. However, he took a step to get a better look but stepped on a branch that was on the ground.

You immediately heard the noise and stopped dancing. You were on high alert and vanished into the water.

Qin Shi came out of his spot and tried to find you and followed down the river for a bit. But at the end of the day, he couldn’t find the maiden that had stolen his heart at first sight.

During his reign as emperor, Qin Shi would hire people to try and find the beautiful maiden. Some said that he may have been dreaming or hallucinating, but he knew what he saw wasn’t fictional. Qin Shi would ask painters to paint the beautiful maiden by giving descriptions of them.

All of them came close, but he would not be satisfied even if it was the smallest mistake.

You plagued his mind until he died.

Now, Qin Shi was fighting for his life again in the hospital of Valhalla. His match had finished, and he was recovering, but while he was watching the screen they had for him in the room, he saw a glimpse of the same beautiful maiden he saw years ago.

Qin Shi immediately asked for a nurse and asked if they knew who that maiden was. They said yes, and he asked for you to be brought to his room.

A few minutes later, you arrived, and you were in front of him. He knew you weren't a hallucination. He was glad he finally found you again.

You both talked to each other, and you had to admit it was lovely talking to someone as interesting as him.

Qin Shi explained how he searched for you when he scared you off. You laughed since you were mostly worshipped during the Song Dynasty, almost 740 years apart.

The moment Qin Shi was discharged, he went to find you and asked you to have a date with him. You both had a joyful time, but to Qin Shi, it felt as if he kept falling for you more each time you laughed or smiled at him.

After a few days, Qin Shi decided to ask for your hand in marriage. But not without making it extravagant, after all, what emperor wouldn't make a ceremony for a god and future empress?

Qin Shi learned that you are celebrated on your birthday, the 23rd day of the third month of the lunar calendar. So he gathered all of his civilians both far and wide to his palace to create the largest and best festival for you.

Qin Shi couldn't wait for your birthday to propose to you.

Okay, so of course this is a giulio gandini request because no one has been writing about him yet, but I NEED him now, so.. 👀

(Sry if these are a bit corny, I'm a sucker for tooth rotting fluff!!)

‼️*SMALL MHA YOUR NEXT SPOILERS*‼️

So maybe a gaming one where the reader kinda teaches him how, baking with him, or you know how thought the movie he is basically telling us that he is alone and Anna saved him?? Well, they save Anna, so they don't talk as much as they used to. Then, one day, he runs into reader and it's like the "I'd thought I'd never love again, until I found her" yk??

(Sry, Ik this is long, i just love him, sm!!😫🥹)

Word Count: 2370

Paring: Giulio Gandini x gn!reader

Warnings: Angst to fluff, Spoilers for My Hero Academia: You’re Next, Slight Spoilers for the My Hero Manga (nothing huge just talk about the clean up efforts), Ooc Giulio (As far as I know this is the first Giulio fic so I don;t know how others write for him and it might be a little off nothing to bad though)

A/n: Hello anon. Thank you so much for the Request. I hope this meets your expectations, as Giulio might be a little ooc, but I am happy with how this turned out. Also I went with gender neutral pronouns, i hope that's okay, it only mentioned like once though. Anyways enjoy, remember requests are open, and as always remember to hydrate or diedrate.

   Living in the U.A. shelter was not how I expected my spring to go, but alas with the war between Villains and Heroes reaching its turning point there wasn’t any other option. Though unlike most of the refugees staying in U.A., I was brought here after I helped take down Dark Might. I was working alongside my close friend Giulio to locate and kill his boss Miss Anna, who had been kidnapped by the Gullini family, when we ran into the students of Class A. After the battle to take out the crime family, the three of us were offered shelter within U.A. in case friends of the Gullinis tried to come after us. 

   We were each given rooms within the many U.A Dormitories where the students normally stayed. Luckily we had ended up in the same building and we’re able to spend our time together. Even though the state of the world isn’t great, we have been settling nicely into our temporary life. Most days are spent talking and trying to ignore the growing threat of villains, or walking around the shelter and learning about the campus we currently call home.

   It’s usually all of us who go on these walks but every now and then Anna doesn’t join, leaving me and Giulio to explore on our own. At first the days where it was just the two of us reminded me of the time we spent tracking down Anna, but slowly things started to feel different. 

   Slowly our walks went from having long discussions about what we wanted to do once we were able to leave U.A. to Giulio just walking along with me in silence as I rambled on about whatever thought came to mind. At first I thought he might have just been tired and didn’t have much thought to add that day, but slowly he started acting like I was speaking to him even when we were back in the dormitories. Again I wrote it off as him being tired and tried to act like it wasn’t affecting me.

   After a few days of him acting like I wasn’t there, I began to worry that I might have done something to upset him. The fear of having upset him was only cemented when I asked if want to join me for a walk and he just walked away like I hadn’t said anything. I stood frozen, searching through recent memory of anything that I may have done that could possibly have upset Giulio, but nothing seemed to stand out.

   My train of thought was interrupted by Anna waving a hand in front of my face. I blinked quickly before nodding at her to acknowledge that I was paying attention. “What was that about? I’ve never seen Giulio act like that, especially when it comes to you.” She asked, having also noticed our friend’s weird behavior. 

   I shrugged at the blonde before responding. “I have no clue. He’s been acting weird the past few days and I can’t figure out why.” I explained. 

   Anna turned to watch as the red head began making himself some tea, before speaking again. “Maybe he’s just tired? We have been through a lot these past couple weeks and he got his replacement leg the other day so he probably just wants to relax a bit. You know how Giulio can be, since everything happened he has been one for big crowds and stuff like that.” She suggested.

    Her reasoning made sense but I couldn’t stop thinking that it had something to do with me. “You’re probably right, I can’t imagine it’s easy to adjust to a new limb.” I told her, not voicing my internal worries. “I’m just going to head back to my room, now that I think about it. I borrowed some books from the school, so I’ll just read for the day.” I explained moving to head to the elevator.

    “Well, okay, enjoy your books. I’m sure Giulio will be easier to talk to tomorrow.” Anna said waving goodbye as the elevator closed behind me.

Time Skip

    That was over a week ago. Not once has Giulio spoken to me in that time. I had tried multiple times to get him to talk to me, but every time I tried he either walked away or just acted like I hadn’t even spoken. Every time he ignored me, I brushed it off telling myself that he was just tired or he hadn’t heard me. 

    Unfortunately, I was forced to face the truth in the worst way. I had just entered the common room of the dorm building, when I heard hushed voices coming from the kitchen area.

    “I already told you, it’s easier this way.” The first voice was clearly Giulio, and he sounded irritated.

    I silently moved to be standing closer to the kitchen but still out of sight and waited to hear what else was being said. “You can’t just stop talking to them, Giulio. You need to explain yourself at least.” That was Anna, and from how exasperated she sounded, I could tell this wasn’t the first time they have had this conversation.

    The responding sigh was a tell tale sign that Giulio was tired of the conversation. “And tell me Anna how exactly am I supposed to Y/n that I don’t want to be friends anymore?” After hearing that one question I knew it was over, I had lost one of my long time friends and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn’t wait to hear the blonde's response before running out of the dorm building.

    Knowing now that Giulio was ignoring me because he was done with our friendship hurt worse than any injury I could receive from a villain. I had been the one to save him from the burning rubble of the Scervino house after the Gullinis attacked and I helped him recover quickly so he could find Anna. We had been through so much together, but I guess all good things come to an end. I just wish he could have told me before he stole my heart.

   After leaving the dorms I made my way to the staff offices within the U.A. school building. Once I was there I requested to be moved to a different refugee shelter as soon as possible. If Giulio didn’t want to be around me anymore, then he wouldn’t have to. It didn’t take long to get approval and shortly after I returned to the dorm to pack what little belongings I had, a couple Proheroes arrived to help me get to the new shelter safely. When the gates of U.A. closed behind me, I sighed knowing that even if this hurt me it would remove stress from the two people who meant everything to me.

Time Skip to after the Final war arc

    It’s been a few months since I last saw Giulio or Anna. The war with the villains had ended and many parts of Japan were quickly being rebuilt with the help of the Proheroes. While many of the refugees from the various shelters returned to what was left of their old lives and began rebuilding, I decided to start over. I had left my old life the day I left Giulio and Anna at U.A. so I saw no point in leaving Japan. 

   It was difficult to find work but I eventually found a job at a small convenience store that had narrowly survived the country wide battle. It wasn’t much but the owner also allowed me to rent out the small apartment that was over the shop for a discounted rate. Slowly but surely I was making a place for myself. Eventually I even stopped wondering what Giulio and Anna were up to, I started truly accepting that the part of my life was in the past.

  At least it was in the past. It was brought back to front of my mind when a familiar head of red hair walked into the store. At first I thought I was imagining things, that maybe I hadn’t really gotten over it all like I thought. But as soon as I saw his metal hand, I knew I wasn’t just seeing things. Before I could duck behind the counter and act like I wasn’t there, he turned his head in my direction and I watched as what I could only describe as joy washed over his face.

  Sure I had seen Giulio smile before but it was never directed at me. Plus with the way he treated me last time I saw him, why on earth would he be happy to see me of all people. Thinking quickly I decided to act like I hadn’t recognized him. “Welcome in, is there anything I can help you find?” I asked plastering on my fakest smile, trying to hide the conflicted thoughts rushing through my head.

  I then watched as Giulio took a moment to process what I said, confusion replacing the smile that was there a second ago. “Don’t play stupid with me Y/n. We’ve been looking for you for months.” He said approaching the counter. “I also saw the way you looked at me when I walked in so don’t even bother trying to act like you don’t know me or what I’m talking about. Now mind telling me why you ran off and where you’ve been these past couple months.” It wasn’t a question, Giulio wanted answers and he was determined to get them.

   Rolling my eyes I leaned against the wall behind the counter. “Why do you care? Last time I checked you weren’t talking to me.” I responded, the hurt from before turned to anger now that he was actually willing to have a conversation with me. “What was it you said to Anna that day? Oh yeah it was ‘how exactly am I supposed to Y/n that I don’t want to be friends anymore?’. Don’t come in here acting like you care when you were the one who wanted to end our friendship.” I answered, revealing that I had heard their ‘secret’ conversation.

  Giulio stood in shock at my response. He wasn’t expecting such a harsh reply to his simple question. “Wait, you heard that?” He asked, sounding slightly panicked. I only nodded in response. “Did you hear the rest of that conversation?” He continued.

   “No Giulio, I didn’t. Why would I stay and listen to the guy I thought was my best friend tell our friend that he was done with me? Honestly, had you told me you didn’t want to be friends anymore instead of ignoring me, I might not be upset right now.” I said not understanding why he thinks anyone would want to hear their friend talk bad about them.

   Giulio sighed, he glanced around the room as if searching for the right words to say. I just watched him confused, it was not like it was a secret anymore he could just tell me the truth and be done. “I think you should have stayed and listened to the rest of that conversation.” He finally started. I was about to respond but he beat me to it. “It wasn’t that I wanted our friendship to end. It’s more the opposite actually.” He said looking down at the floor, his bangs falling to block his face from view. “I was confused about my feelings. For so long I thought I had feelings for Anna, that once she was safe from the toll her quirk put on her we would be together. But then you saved after the Gullinis took Anna, and you stuck with me the entire time after. Even when I tried to push you away, you stuck by my side promising to help me complete my mission.” I stood silent as began to explain himself. “Then even after Anna was saved and we were allowed to stay at U.A. I thought things would go the way I originally thought. But the more time I spent with just you in nonlife threatening situations, the more I realized what I really wanted.” 

   He paused for another moment, rolling his shoulders and taking a deep breath like he was preparing for something big. “ I thought for the longest time I wouldn’t fall in love, and then I met you and you didn’t judge me for my goal or turn your back on me when I was difficult. Y/n, I know I was childish and hurt you but if you’ll allow, I’d be honored to spend forever making it up to you.” Giulio finished as he finally looked me in the eye. It was my turn to freeze again. Of all the things I expected for him to say to me, that was not it.

    I blinked a couple of times trying to fully grasp what he meant. After what felt like hours of silence I finally responded. “You’re right, you were childish and you did hurt me. But I was also childish by running away before talking things out. I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions and left without saying anything to you or Anna.” I paused to breathe for a second before truly smiling at him. “And Giulio, you can start making it up to me by taking me to dinner tomorrow.” I finished.

   Giulio returned the smile, nodding in confirmation. “As you wish.” He said with a slight bow, earning a chuckle from me.

    “Good, now I have to get back to work. You can pick me up here at 8.” I said while grabbing a pen and piece of paper. Quickly scribbling my new phone number down. “And here’s my new number since you’ve probably already guessed I changed phones after I left.” I finished handing him the paper. 

     He quickly accepted it, nodding one last time. “Of course I will see you tomorrow Y/n.” With that he turned and left the store. 

    As I watched him walk away I couldn’t help but wonder what would have been different if I had stayed and listened to the end of that conversation all those months ago.

(I am so in love with Yuta he just- stolen my heart fr 🥹💖) Hi, I’m back after like months of requesting (I think-) so how about scenario of Yuta who has a crush on the reader, however he always gets too nervous to approach them. He was scared to fall in love again due to what happened to Rika (just like you said! :D) so he just admire them from afar, until he get caught…he was pretty obvious about it- but his crush let it slide for now.

(Get prepared with so much Yuta request in the future, I just love him so much AAAAAA)

Yuta watches you train.

Yuta watched from the bleachers as you continued your spar with Maki. You had been training hard and as a result, have been able to best Maki in three spars yet. Continuing to be stubborn Maki demanded you spar with her again determined to get a defeat on you.

"Wow they have really improved, hu?" Yuta said to Panda and Toge.

"They sure have!" Panda agreed.

"Salmon" Toge exclaimed.

"Hmm," Panda hummed scanning his eyes from Yuta to you. "You sure are watching them closely today," Panda teased.

"What?!" Yuta exclaimed jumping a bit in his seat. "No, I- I'm watching the same as you two!" He yelped nervously.

"Oh come on, you know you don't have to lie to us," Panda said thumping Yuta on the back.

"Bento flakes," Toge agreed.

Yuta looked down at his shoes, unsure how to respond to his friends. The truth was he had been admiring you for some time now. However, he was haunted by flashbacks of Rika whenever he considered approaching you.

The last person he fell in love with met an awful fate due to him being unable to control his cursed energy. Unknowingly, he cursed Rika, causing her to turn into a cursed spirit instead of passing on after being fatally injured.

Anytime he daydreamed about you or spoke to you for too long, worst-case scenarios flash over his eyes. What if something ever happened to you because of his inability to control his cured energy just like Rika?

Yuta let out a heavy sigh looking back up at you and Maki sparring for a fifth time.

"What's that sigh for? You know I think they kind of have the hots for you too you know," Panda said.

"Hu?" Yuta exclaimed looking at Panda.

Panda laughed, "You humans are complex creatures but sometimes you get so wrapped up in yourselves you miss obvious signs from each other."

"Like um- what kind of signs?" Yuta asked shyly unable to control his curiously.

"You really haven't noticed?" Panda asked. Even Toge looked confused and curious to hear Panada's observations of you. "Well for starters even when you're taking way too long to pack your stuff up after class they always wait for you. They suddenly mix up words anytime they are in a conversation with you, and not to mention anytime you go out on a mission they pace around restlessly until you come back safe."

Yuta felt his face get hot at Panda's observations. Did you really like him back? Yuta looked back to you and Maki just as you spun around landing a final blow on Maki, winning the fourth spar. Landing the blow and throwing Maki to the floor you looked up at the bleachers making eye contact with Yuta. His face was completely flushed and he immediately looked away.

You felt your own face flush at realizing he was blushing from watching you.

"Just say something to him already," Maki said irritated.

Maki was right, Yuta was very timid and if you took the lead it would drastically speed your relationships up. However, you wanted to be mindful of his past. It couldn't have been easy for him to live with his deceased girlfriend as a curse all through his childhood.

You let out a heavy sigh, "No, I'll wait till he's ready."

I haven’t read the manga only caught up on the anime- so I hope this is still pretty accurate for Yuta! Thank you for my first JJK request 🤭!

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ᴛᴡᴏ: Bruises

“I have bad news.” 

In that moment, you’re pretty sure you felt your heart stop. 

You sat there, frozen, unable to move as everyone else at the table starts talking immediately, asking your father was the issue was. 

Yet his eyes remained on you, inky coals transfixed on you, unwavering, boring into your soul as if waiting, watching to see what you’d do next. 

Your mind tries to wander, briefly remembering the last time your father said that, the slight pain in his seemingly empty eyes and his strained tone of voice. The last time those words were uttered, your mother died. 

No. 

Now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time to protect your family, like you always have. Your feelings weren’t important now.  

You notice your father rub his index finger against the underside of his thumb, a code you knew to mean retreat. In this case, he wanted to go outside to talk to you, alone. 

The table goes silent as you stand up with a word, worried glances being sent you way. Smiling reassuringly at them, you make your way around the table to the door, spinning around to squeeze Ejiro’s shoulder as he was the closest to you and make eye contact with your brother.  

“Toshi, you’re in charge in the meantime- make sure everyone has enough to eat alright?” you ask, and he hums in agreement, but narrows his eyes, a look that means you’re telling me everything once you’re done. 

You chose to ignore that, turning around again to exit your home to meet your father who was waiting for you outside.  

Shutting the door behind you, you see him staring up at the starless sky, covered by clouds and most likely smoke from fires made to provide warmth with the coming winter.  

You join him on the steps of your porch, staring up into the night sky with him. It was poetic in a way, the loss of the stars in the sky reminded you of the man by your side.  

Shota Aizawa was a swordsman, and one of the finest in the kingdom of Bellorant. Since you were six, he used to teach you, much to your mother’s annoyance. She didn’t want you near anything of the sort, especially when you returned one day covered in bruises, saying "Shota, she’s six! She needs to grow to be a lady, not a soldier or a fighter. She doesn’t need to grow up around violence.” 

Yet he still taught you, teaching you ancient sword techniques and sparred with you on occasion, but you never won – unless he let you. Every time, he would stop you at the most spontaneous moments, you could be in the middle of a heated spar when he rubbed his index finger against his thumb, retreat. It was like he had a sixth sense, knowing exactly when your mother would be home, and when she walked through the front door, you would be helping your father with preparing dinner.  

It was your secret, only for the two of you.  

At least for four years. After your mother had passed away, your father basically fell apart, refusing to teach you as an unspoken promise to your mother following her death.  

He could barely look at a sword the same way after he lost both his leg and your mother, like the starless sky - you knew it was possible, yet it seemed wrong. Your father was as empty without his swords as the sky was without stars. 

“What’s wrong?” you ask, your voice betraying you, coming out as a shaky whisper.  

The raven-haired man sucks in a breath, refusing to look at you, not saying anything, The silence was deafening and suffocating, as waves of anxiety rack your brain and your heart rate picks up.  

What in the world could be so bad that he can’t even look you in the eye?! 

“I’m being enlisted into the army. The roundup is tomorrow at dawn.” 

Time stops right then and there. You feel your heart drop. You couldn’t lose him, you couldn’t. Sending him out there was suicide, and he knew it.  

He couldn’t do this to you, not after losing your mother. You needed him, he was all you had left to prevent you from tearing yourself apart from the inside. He was the loose string in the fabric that held everything together but was easily able to be pulled away in the blink of an eye.  

You didn’t realize you were crying until a rough hand comes up and brushes a few tears from your face.  

“You have to be strong my warrior.” he whispers softly, the name hitting you harder than it should’ve.  

He hadn’t called you that since the last time you trained together.  

Words fail you, but he understands, holding you tight as the dam breaks, unshed tears falling as years of suffocating pain and stress release you in the form of salty tears that drip down your cheeks and soak into your father’s shirt.  

You were going to be all alone again.  

Just the thought brings even more tears to your eyes, heaving sobs so powerful that you can’t breathe, there’s just too much and you can’t take it anymore, but you have to.  

You have to, for Hitoshi and Eri. If nothing else, do it for them.  

*** 

You’re not sure when you passed out, but you come to lying in your bed, your dad probably carried you.  

Your throat feels dry, and your eyes burn. Shivering and burying yourself in your blankets, your heart sinks as the situation dawns on you. 

Taking in a shaky deep breath you think, like you always have. Thinking about how to fix a problem that seemed so big that you could never fix it.  

But there was always a way.  

You tried to remember the last time enlistments happened. It wasn’t the first time your father has been in a war, neither had it been for many of the men in your village. But the rest of the village wasn’t battling a severe disability and trying to cope with even more severe mental health issues.  

As per the crown’s decree, the terms for enlistment were the oldest able-bodied man from each household would be sent to join the army out of loyalty for their country.  

That didn’t make sense- considering that your father was far from able bodied...shit.  

The alternative would’ve been HItoshi. Your father, knowing this, probably created a loophole, saying that the makeshift wooden prosthetic Chiyo provided from him considered the man able bodied, saving Hitoshi from the hardships of war he’d have to endure either way.  

Bastard. You curse mentally, somewhat towards your father but mostly at the situation at hand. Shota Aizawa was an intuitive man, and knew exactly how to manipulate a situation to get what he wants. This trait, both helpful and infuriating was one that was passed down to you, which explained how you could read people well enough to know their intentions.

But you knew that right now, what you needed was both your father and Hitoshi, at some, safe.  

And for that to happen, you needed some third Aizawa son to step in and take the burden from them both.  

Then it hit you, maybe there was.  

Cross dressing wasn’t a completely new subject to you- you remembered when you and Ochako snuck into a pub one night, dressed as two boys so no men would try to make a move on either of you.  

Maybe it would work again.  

Creeping out of your room, you see that everyone’s gone to bed. For once, you’re thankful that you do all the chores around the house, tip toeing into the room where you washed and dried all your clothes, spotting the basket of unfolded clean clothes that needed to be put away.  

Sifting through its contents, you find what you were looking for: a yellowed white tunic and some thick black pants that belong to your brother.  

Perfect. 

This was all going according to plan.  

Depositing the clothes in your room, you go into the washroom, finding the medicine cabinet where all Eri’s concoctions lived.  

You wince, knowing this was technically drugging your family against their will, but you get to work, finding the balm used for sleep. 

Sneaking into Hitoshi’s room first, you take some of the balm, rubbing the substance against your fingertips before rubbing it gently against the skin that covered his temple, herbs that were said to have magical properties allowed a light dosage of melatonin into the neural system.  

You felt his body relax, all the tenseness gone from his frame, and you kiss his forehead softly, a tear pricking your eye. 

You might never see him again.  

“I love you Hitoshi.” you murmur, stroking his hair before doing the same for your father and sister both sound asleep, and they would be for the next twelve hours.  

Fingering the paper in your hands, you bring it up to your lips, a final blessing from you before putting the letter addressed to your family on the dining table.  

It was almost dawn, grabbing the roll of bandages from the washroom and wrapping your torso with it to make your chest flatter. You felt like you couldn’t breathe, but you persisted, knowing that it would only be a minor inconvienience in the long run. 

Slipping your brother’s clothes on, you tie your hair into a wolf’s knot, a hairstyle that your father taught you himself, the mark of a warrior. Slipping on Hitoshi’s shoes, you grab the worn picture of your family ten years ago, looking at it, your mother’s face, and your father’s happy one. Now he’d at least be alive to have the chance to feel like that again

You put the photo in your satchel, along with the dagger you used to train with, and the diary Ejiro gifted you when you were thirteen. It was very thick, enough to only be half filled from 7 years of your living, but then again you never really used it back then. Well, that was going to change now, determined to leave your family and friends a little more than a rushed letter if you die.  

Holy shit.  

You could die.  

The thought had never properly struck you until now, and yet, you didn’t feel dread. You just understood the grim truth that if it wasn’t you, it would be Hitoshi or your dad, and it were more than happy to put your life on the line for them.  

You see the sun’s ray start to peak out of the horizon, eyes sweeping your home one last time before closing the door, hand staying on the doorknob for a split second longer than you should’ve, as it trying to subconsciously memorize how it feels. 

One step by one, you make your way down the steps of your porch, the same ones you sat on the night before where you cried your heart out in your father’s arms.  

That seemed so long ago, yet only a few seconds ago at the same time.  

You make your way down the cobblestone path, down to the center of the village, spotting men from the imperial palace with their scrolls condemning their people to death.  

You swallow down the pit in your stomach, taking a deep breath and joining the crowd of men that gathered around.  

Goodbye, home.

[anime-fan-05]

Hello!

Can you please do headcanons of Yuji, Megumi, Toge, Satoru, Suguru and Yuta and the male versions of Nobara, Maki and Mai (I saw you did them for "Code Geass", if you don't want to do them, don't worry) being called 'darling' from their crush (who they aren't together with yet)?

I was thinking maybe the reader could be in a store and she then gets hassled by someone, sees the character and calls him 'darling' to ward off the harasser, but if you've a better idea, you can use that.

Then I've another request: the same characters whose hair the reader plays with.

Please, take your time to make my requests and sorry if there are two.

Thank you very much!

Jujutsu Kaisen ~Being called 'darling' by their crush~

Manga/anime: Jujutsu Kaisen

Warnings: nothing

(Y/N): your name

As always, I divided the first headcanon into two parts. Second part is here. The two parts of the second headcanon are here (1st) and here (2nd). Furthermore, I leave you the photos of Nobara, Maki and Mai in their male version (they're really handsome!). I'll keep your idea because it's really good!

Premise

(Y/N) is walking through the shops in her city's shopping center. First she was in the company of her friend, but the two separated because he wanted to go to a different store from the one where she wanted to shop.

However, as she walks, she notices a boy is following her, continuing to stare at her, so she decides to return to her friend.

Her walk, which has turned into a run, ends when she finally sees her friend. She approaches him, greeting him and motioning to the boy behind her, who was continuing to follow her, and she tells him: "Darling, here I am!".

Itadori Y.

At first he won't realize what you called him: he'll play your game and pretend to be your boyfriend

When he realizes the nickname, he'll have a huge smile on his face and slightly blushed cheeks

For a few minutes he'll continue to hear your voice calling him 'darling' in his head and he won't listen to anything

Once he calms down, he'll ask you the reason for the nickname ignoring the fact you called him that to probably make your farce true

Sukuna will probably tease him for a long time due to his reaction

Fushiguro M.

He'll freeze

He'll be so still you'll have to check if he'll be breathing, since he won't move a muscle for a few minutes

After he recovers, he'll roughly chase away the harasser (if he wouldn't have already left), but he won't dare look at your face

He won't show you his face during your entire walk back to your house (he'll have insisted on taking you home), because he'll be terribly red up to his ears

He'll probably remember that event for his whole life and, every time he thinks about it, he'll still be blushing

Kugisaki N.

Cheeky as he's, as soon as he sees you running towards him and hears you call him 'darling', a cheeky smirk will appear on his face

He'll play along with your charade, and he'll distance you two from the harasser

After you two get far enough away, he'll start talking, or rather making fun of you a little ("So I'm your boyfriend now?")

However, if he'll notice you're upset, he'll immediately become concerned and start asking if you're okay

He'll want to stay with you until you'll have to go home (know he'll force you to let him accompany you): he'll take you shopping and buy you everything you want or he'll invite you to an arcade to cheer up your spirits

Inumaki T.

At first he'll look at you questioningly, not understanding the reason for the nickname you used

Nevertheless, he'll immediately understand your situation and take you by the hand, either moving you away from the harasser or making him leave

Afterwards, he'll ask you if you're okay, not totally realizing the nickname

After making sure of your well-being, the nickname you used will hit him hard like a brick, and he'll blush heavily and cover the blush with his uniform's collar

As soon as he arrives at his house, he'll send you a message telling you he would like to be called 'darling', but as your boyfriend and not friend

Okkotsu Y.

Poor boy, you'll kill him if you call him that

The only thing that comes out of his lips will be a continuous stammer, and he'll blush and start shaking, not looking neither you nor the harasser in the eye; so, the boy won't likely believe your lie due to that and he'll try to pull you towards him by your wrist

That will be when he'll wake up from his trance: he'll gently grab you by your wrist and waist and pull you against his chest, telling the harasser to leave his girlfriend alone

Then, he'll return to his shy behavior and ask you if you're okay, worried about having hurt you

You'll never have to remind him of that event: he'll blush furiously, even if years will have passed since that day

💮 Rules 💮 Masterlist 💮

[serxinns]

I was wondering if you could do Yandere MHA like how they would treat a chubby reader cause I’m pretty chubby and I’d love that :3

OFC CHUBBY READERS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND DESERVE LOVE TOO!!!

They would treat you like a God/Goddess! The girls and boys would fight over who gets to hang out with you 1st

Mina would dress you up in cute outfits you are comfortable with (she loves pink and black on you! But she'll dress you up in any way you are comfortable It makes her feel like you're all hers! But you don't know that yet momo would buy the whole mall for you! (She did already) you want that adorable necklace sold! Present for you! Do you wanna go to a hot topic and get all your favorite anime merch? Here you go! You want that new console that just got out a week ago why not get a console that isn't even out yet!? She loves seeing you smile you thought she was a very kind friend when she's just showing you what's it like to be hers and hers only

Tsuyu you take you swimming at times if the pools close somewhere private like a secret majestic garden with just the two of you so nobody with bother you and while you're amazed by the beauty tsuyu admires your beautiful face and figures she just wants to cuddle up on you and pinch your cheeks she couldn't wait to have you all hers~ Jirou comes out aw a tough little tsundere at times but when it comes to you her heart Is melting and she barely, ale complete sentences and she's only soft but a bit of a tsu she would show off her earphone tricks would blush over any outfit you wear (she once saw a bit of your stomach showing and she and the class was flustered and simping)

Izuku is just drawing down everything about you even things you don't even know yourself he offers to walk with you to school (since you his neighbor) and glare at anyone who gives you a look whether be judging or drooling he makes sure that they dont mess whats his bakugo would force you to walk with him saying that damn Deku doesn't know where the bus stop is and would talk about the extras I'm his group

Denki would occasionally flirt with your ur main gamer buddy, but he's personally a geek for manga comics and would rant to you about the latest chapter or one of his favorite characters heck he even imagined you cosplaying one of his favorite characters!!! Oh God dude would be dying thanking the lord for this gift he secretly writes fanfics of his favorite character x and would make their personality similar to yours and make of bunch of fanart of you in a different bunch of outfits he can't wait until he shows it off to you they'll surely win your heart!

Kiri is your hype man and best friend when he saw you smash those villains with a single fist this dude was head over HEELS just overlooking completing how manly you are ugh this dude would be blushing HARD he would rant to his best friend Katsuki about how manly you are and wished he could have muscles like that as well!! If anyone says otherwise or shames you for your body this dude will go protective mode he will make a rant about how Amazing beautiful and manky you are and will start going a bit personal a bit saying how you'll date him and he'll pick you like a royal you are and you'll do the same and marriage and blah blah blah

the person who insulted you just gets scared and runs away which makes that a victory for him!

Iida would always be a guard dog like this dude will protect cute little marshmallow you! He makes sure you eat regularly he never lets you skip a meal if you try he's banging your door with a bento box in his hand with marshmallows he freaks pit over every small scratch bruise and lord don't tell him you broke some of your limbs one time you broke your arm during fighting and he went intonlockdown literally gets a wheelchair and stroll you around (even tho you can CLEARY walk) and make sure you stay in that bed untill your all better see how he's taking care of you he wanted to do this every day to you and only you

Koda is an absolute sweetheart if he sees an animal that looks like you he instantly points it out to you and tells you animal facts and while he is explaining the animals to you his heart can't stop fluttering with butterflies! he can barely stay on topic of the animal while just staring at your adorable puff up face!

The class would compete for anything whether be who gets to sit by you or who have fun with who it's always a competition, threats and a blood bath at training they'll even raised their hand like little hpkids Eagar for a treat and if you choose one of them they'll instantly run to you with a satisfy smirk on their face while the rest of them are pissed off

They loved their darling and they'll do anything to satisfy your needs! Whether it be committing some crimes for you~

[deathbxnny]

I just read your notice, excuse my ignorance. In that case, since it's not HSR, can you do Chainsaw Man? That is, Aki, Kishibe, Denji, and Angel? I am the same person that asked you if you do a reader a character's appearance, personality and ability. Thanks 😸

CSM men with a Suguru Geto-like!Reader | Aki, Denji, Angel

Hello there, Anon! Since I have a limit of 3 characters per post, I've decided to leave out Kishibe for this one, which I hope you can forgive me for! Also I'm sorry for taking so long and thank you for your interesting request.<33

Content: Potential spoilers for csm manga!!, Reader can eat and summon devils instead of curses for plot sake, slight angst, established relationships, sfw

Reader has no mentioned pronouns.

((Not proofread))

》AKI

Your calm and rather elegant demeanor is what pulled him into you initially. There was something about the way you were so collected and gentle with everyone around you, a certain charisma practically hooking him onto you after one conversation. But it was your ability that kept him at arms length from you... at first.

Eating devils? Being able to summon them at will? Odd. Very odd. And yet, you were wholly human, despite the rumours that coursed through the office of you being more than you let on. Not that it mattered ultimately, Aki supposed, as he reluctantly agreed to go out with you during another successful mission he only barely survived once more through your help.

He eventually saw your abilities as helpful and convenient, especially when things got bad. Being able to summon or eat demons when needed certainly did come in handy but he still found a level of worry in him that he couldn't shake, especially when you showcased slight disgust after every "meal".

You two work well together as a team and as lovers later on too however, despite the odds and tribulations you were going to face inevitably. He was hesitant to be in a relationship with you, considering his life was going to come to an early end... but your gentle insistence thawed his cold heart and crumbled those high walls around it.

Fate may not allow you to be together forever... but as long as you had eachother, he supposed he could deal with it.

》DENJI

Okay, it's one thing if HE does it, you know? But someone else being able to eat devils was... freaky. As odd as it sounded coming from him of all people. But that's exactly what drew him to you in the first place, and surprisingly vice versa.

You were complete opposites in more ways than one. Where you were gentle, kind and charismatic, he was rude, careless and chaotic. But somehow it worked well between you too, as you balanced eachother out perfectly. You kept him calm during rather troublesome situations and he kept you on your toes, never allowing you a moments of rest. But hey, training is training, right? Besides, you signed up for it... so surely you still like him anyways, right? Your kind and collected words of assurance certainly keep his rather hidden insecurities down.

Denji isn't really the one for teams either. He enjoys fighting alone, the spotlight being near addicting and yet, he doesn't mind to share the fame of chainsaw man if it is with you. During battles, he let's you tag along and keep his back clear, but it irks him to see you consume devils every time. It feels wrong and makes him wonder for a brief moment if this is really right... but the thrill over takes it all in the end.

Ultimately, once he is out of the devil hunter position, he mellows out and realizes that living a calm life with you is way more nicer than what you were doing before. Especially as it kept you from potentially spiraling into a deep hole with him... now if only it stayed this way.

》ANGEL

You were so different and yet so painfully similar, that it made Angel completely avoid you at first. There was something under that gentle and charismatic personality that irked him, that made him feel an ache in his chest that shouldn't ever have existed. But despite his better judgment, he settled on observing you from afar first before ultimately approaching you later down the line.

There was a certain uncertainty that blossomed in your odd and mismatched relationship that it made it nearly perfect in a way. You couldn't touch eachother, and yet this indescribable connection you two had kept you closer than any physical one could have. Lucky him, right? That depended on how he felt about your main ability.

As odd as it was, he never felt threatened by it. You two worked in the same division. And even if you wanted to consume him... well what was the point of that? You were the only human he actively saw as a complete equal and you did the same to him. Angel was no "meal" for you... although, if it came down to it, he wouldn't care if you consumed him for your own safety ultimately.

He knows that something so good can't go on forever and that eventually, one of you will slip up and annihilate the other on accident... or perhaps on purpose? It was another thing to ponder about, as he watched you give him a kind smile, fully aware of the danger that lied beneath you both.

But ignorance was bliss, no?

+Strawberry Magic! ♡ 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!♡+

Chapter 6: Okaasan

Summary: When virgin Pro Hero Shouto turns 30, he gains the magical ability to read the minds of people that he touches. After finding out that his personal assistant has a crush on him, everything changes and Shouto finds himself lost in the stressful game called love.

Pairing: Todoroki Shouto x Reader

Warnings: Aged up characters, MHA SPOILERS!! (there are mentions of the Todoroki household drama and the later happenings of the manga), minor reader POV but mainly Shouto's POV :)

Once you felt confident that you were alone in your apartment, you immediately slumped down on the ground. Hiding your face in your hands, you muttered,

"Crap."

You fumbled so badly. Horribly. That was more embarrassing than when you tripped over the stage stairs at university graduation! He would never reciprocate your feelings. Thank goodness for the weekend. That would give you 2 days to think of an excuse-an apology-for the "mishap" and "poor word choice."

.

.

.

Monday came way too fast.

At 7:21am, you notice a message sent to your phone. As you open it on the subway, your heart dropped to your stomach.

Good morning L/N-san

You do not need to buy my coffee today,

I will be coming into the agency a little

later than usual

-7:21am

♡♡♡

 "This cafe is so adorable! Thank you for taking me here, Shouto."

Café Amour, a quaint yet renowned coffee shop in the heart of Hosu City, is hidden away on a quiet street. This was also the coffee shop where Shouto would ask his assistant to get his coffee from. Looking back at his mother, he hums softly.

"It's no problem at all, okaasan. Thanks for accepting the sudden invite."

The cafe worker places their coffee order on the table and swiftly leaves to serve other customers. Bringing his iced coffee to his mouth, he takes a sip and speaks up.

"Sorry that I haven't visited in a while."

"It's alright! You visited us for Christmas and New Years. Did you get the birthday gifts from dad and I?"

"Mhm, thank you."

The snow-white haired woman brings the hot cup of coffee to her lips and blows it gently.

"I received news from your father that Touya can now partake in rehab at the prison. He will still be serving a life sentence until further notice, but he's accepted the offer and is making an effort to get better."

The good news that his mother shared made Shouto smile. Slowly, his elder brother was getting better.

One day at a time.

"Ah, but... I have a favor that I'd like to ask of you."

"Hm?" Rei looks at her youngest curiously.

"I need advice."

"Of course, Shouto. Is everything okay?"

"What... what does it feel like to fall in love?"

Rei pauses, her facial expression faltering. It was no secret that "love" was a struggle in the Todoroki household. Though the familial love (and mutual toleration *cough* Natsuo and Enji *cough*) increased in the past few years, there was still the undeniable rift from the years of discord.

Especially between his parents, Shouto (and a few others) knew that there was a lack of "love." It was no secret to the world that the marriage between Rei Himura and Enji Todoroki was arranged, especially after Dabi's revelational broadcast all those years ago.

Before he can say a quick apology, however, his mother speaks up.

"Falling in love with someone feels like floating. The first person I fell in love with was Touya."

Shouto's mouth closes, clearly off-guard. Rei notices this and clears her throat.

"Ah, well, I fell in love with all of my children: you, Touya Fuyumi, and Natsuo. The first one was Touya, obviously because he was my first child," she clarifies. "But if I may ask, why the sudden question?"

Shouto hesitates for a second, but takes a deep breath.

"There's this girl," he explains, "She likes me a lot. I'm not sure if I feel the same way. I care about her since she works with me, but I'm not sure if it just stops there. How do I know if it's mutual love?"

Taking a few seconds to think, Shouto's mother wipes her mouth daintily with her napkin.

"What do you like about this person?"

"Pardon?"

Rei takes a sip of her coffee.

"Why do you care for her?"

‘Y/N has a beautiful smile. Y/N has a nice laugh. Y/N looks gorgeous. Y/N works hard. Y/N is attentive to everyone around her.'

"I feel... comfortable around her. She's genuinely kind-and her smile, she has a beautiful smile. Her laugh too, it's so attractive. She's also not afraid to try to make me laugh. She's always so thoughtful too. She knows my coffee order, she checks on the interns at work daily, she's so attentive to the area and people around her."

Rei nods thoughtfully, a smile growing on her face.

"Do you enjoy her company?"

Shouto nods confidently. "Yes, yes I do."

His mother puts her coffee down on the table and looks at her son.

"You shouldn't keep a girl waiting," she teases.

Shouto looks at her confusedly, wondering what she meant. Rei clears her throat and continues.

"It seems to me that you're in love with her."

.

.

.

...

"Thanks for walking me to the station, Shouto."

The dual-toned man shakes his head.

"It's the least I could do, okaasan. Thanks again for today."

The white-haired woman smiles. "It was nice catching up with you again! I hope I was able to help you."

"Yes, okaasan, I really appreciate the advice."

Rei reaches up to hug her tall son. 'Shouto really has grown so much. I hope that he stays happy.'

When she let's go, she waves at him with a smile before heading down the subway stairs.

However, she pauses in the middle and looks back at him.

"Shouto?"

"Yes, okaasan?"

The corners of Rei's eyes crinkle slightly as she smiles gently at the grown man in front of her.

"I'm glad that you're happy."

Thank you, okaasan.

A/N: I'M BACK :DDD Sorry everyone, I locked in hard for school this past week >< It's very late but here's chapter 6!! I'm so happy that I got to incorporate Rei Todoroki. She is personally my favorite female character in the series so <3333

ʚɞ On Purpose Karma x (fem) Reader || Chapter: 2 ୨୧

Prev || 02 Butterfly Effect|| next

Karma hadn't made it to class yet, he wasn't know for being punctual much less early. Rio, Fuwa and Hinano were hovered around Ritsu's main screen with anticipation.

"Ritsu what did you find out? The suspense is killing us!" Hinano asked.

Ritsu nodded, she'd even programmed a detective outfit for herself, taking her job as the investigator very seriously, "Rio was right, He lied about getting a call and met up with someone."

With a dramatic gasp, Fuwa exclaimed, "Sounds like a shady deal scenario? That reminds me of a manga I read where—"

"Not at all! I couldn't see her face or anything but he called her [Name]! They sounded friendly with each other... it's a relief that nothing dangerous happened." Before Fuwa went off on another one of her Shonen rants, Ritsu interrupted her.

"I told you guys! He totally has a secret girlfriend!" Hinano cheered.

Maehara rushed over as if the words '[Name]' and "girlfriend" in the same conversation had summoned him. "No way! Karma's going out with [Name]?!"

"You know her?" Rio questioned.

"Do I know her?! She's rejected me a bunch of times- I was worried I was the problem but if she's dating Karma it all makes sense!"

"You are the problem! She rejected you 'cause you're a womanizer." Isogai shouted from across the room.

"Maehara you're so loud- now everyone knows Karma has a secret girlfriend!" Fuwa chastised, Ironically everyone who was too preoccupied with their own talks to hear the conversation up till this point heard it from Fuwa.

"KARMA HAS A SECRET GIRLFRIEND?!" Fuwa winced at the overwhelming reaction from everyone.

Ritsu elaborated, "I don't want to give misleading information, I'm making assumptions based on one interaction, I was going to go through their chat logs but that felt invasive... I did calculate their compatibility and it's very likely."

"Well what did you hear?" Kayano asked

"Not much, they're going out to eat at the cafè Isogai works at after school."

"We should go then! To see what they're up to and what not." Kayano's eyes light up, like a child whose tasted ice-cream for the first time.

"You just want to go 'cause they sell pudding." Sugaya sweat drops.

"That's only half the reason!"

Isogai suggests, "You all don't need to worry about it, I have a shift today anyways, so I can keep an eye on them."

"No way! I wanna see it first hand!" Hinano counters insistently.

Everyone is startled when Korosensei appears in the middle of the group, thanks to his heightened sense of hearing he is always there when gossip is involved.

"Young love is such a beautiful thing... I could die of happiness right now." He dabs his tears of joy with a handkerchief.

Nagisa, clearly taken aback by his sudden appearance, asks, "How long have you been here?!"

"for one, I think we should help him on his date. We should get her flowers on his behalf and attach a letter with his forged signature. We can send it to her doorstep and—" Korosensei rambles on and on with his own pushy ideas.

Rio stresses, "We are not doing anything, you can't get involved. We don't need her fainting at the sight of you." 

"Yeah that would be hard to explain..." Isogai thought out loud, their dismissal makes Korosensei turn blue with shock, there's no way they're going to meddle without the wingman himself.

"I'm great at disguises! No one will suspect a thing! I promise I won't interfere! I'll listen!" In a moment of desperateness, He leeches on to any excuse that comes to mind.

"Stop getting your tears everywhere! We should plan this later, if Karma catches wind of it, we're so dead." Hinano couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

"Why would you be dead?" Karma walked through the door, timing couldn't have been better.

"NOTHING!" Hinano's shoulders tensed up as she instinctively answered

Karma paid little to no mind to her reaction, he sat down in his seat. His classmates on the other hand were exchanging weird looks. Hinano seemed especially apologetic. Everyone's strange reactions sparked some interest in him but he didn't care enough to delve deeper into the matter.

Wakfu Manga - Tome 4, Part 1

During every tome his character bio is mostly the same, save for little rephrasings, and yet it's always such a blast. The Brotherhood of Tofu has bewitched him.

I'm insane... I'm crazhyy.

Imagine being an Eliatrope demigod whose entire purpose is chilling and inspiring others to chill. Like imagine spending millions of reincarnations chilling and there's no war or tragedy, besides maybe the fact that you often outlive people due to being a demigod (but even that is remedied by the fact that you have 11 siblings).

Now imagine a war breaks out and shit. Maybe it breaks out twice. God knows if they reincarnated between these two, though they probably did.

NOW imagine that, after defeating the baddie, — even though you're the demigod of chilling, you spend thousands of years in absolute silence in cosmos trying to catch your deity mother's psionic suffering waves to rescue her, and THEN you face a fate worse than death.

Wouldn't it be fucked.

There are some very good Joris moments in this volume — though the peak was in tome 3. He looks pretty interested in this, for obvious reasons.

Of course YOU would know about century-long art projects, century boy.

The fact that an entire planet is just gone and lost is very tragic to me. They'll never know their home, even if the World of Twelve is also home to them.

STOP BEING CUTE!

Not him standing menacingly and looking right at the reader 😭🤣

He is getting so much enrichment from this. So much mental enrichment, like a cat.

He always knows when to say something ominous and scary.

Very good Joris expression.

HIS FANGS. HIS FANGS. HELLO?!

Anyway, this being the face he pulls after seeing a past incarnation of Yugo come to terms with his immenent death and never seeing his brother again, is so Joris-core. Of course he'd go "🤨"

But despite his chipper attitude here, his mood and curiosity start to rapidly deteriorate after this moment:

I think that for Joris "I am afraid of being alone so thank god my father and uncle are together with me for centuries and remember me after dying, because I don't know how I'd live otherwise" Crepin-Jurgen — talks of actual proper reincarnation with memory loss are scary and exhausting.

He didn't exactly have anyone to tell him what Kerubim and Atcham would be like, after reincarnating. Maybe he spent the couple of years that they were kittens and couldn't talk, fully convinced that he lost Kerubim forever.

That's bound to leave a mark on a person.

It's especially horrifying and off-putting because of how casual Adamai and Yugo are about death and forgetting. Joris has always valued memories — they may as well be all he has of some of the people he loves, at this point. It's the reason he gifted them his fishing rod — in a way, it is a memory of Khan.

Yet, every time Yugo and Adamai die, some new version of them — a version they won't have control over, a version who will forget everyone they have loved up to that moment, — will spring forth and take their place. They'll have new families. "They" probably had hundreds of children and hundreds of lovers in the past, but were those people even them? Is it going to be "them" after they die?

He likes Yugo and Adamai a lot. The thought that someday some strangers may take their place is... a lot.

I can't discuss this scene without including these two entire pages, because something very interesting is happening here:

Joris, quite carelessly, lifts the pillow that contains two precious items, with an annoyed expression, before aggressively questioning Adamai.

I really think he hates all the reincarnation talk.

Anyway, he has very visible fingernails again. Nail polish win.

The fact that sexy femboy Baltazar is exclusive to Wakfu manga is oppression against teachers and education workers.

Joris is worried that something bad happened, but it was just inter-adventurer party abuse, which is normal.

He's so ready for this bullshit to be over.

Standing a very asocial distance apart from everyone. As is the usual <3

[meear]

umineko fans are the original "if you don't like it you just didn't understand it" people. I genuinely cannot think of anyone more annoying and obnoxious, except SNK fans, except not even them, because in Umineko's case that behavior is enabled by the author himself. It's crazy how a story that spent hundreds of hours discussing the value in several coexisting interpetations will have both characters and fans turning around and tell you that actually you're completely wrong for thinking a certain way

The crazy part is they don't even realise how their smug attitude about being part of R07's very special club of people who "have love" and the superior way they act about holding the true answer are EXACTLY the Erika traits they criticise in readers who don't think like them. "He spells it out but you still cannot see it? Lol" "are there still people who can't accept the literal canon answer? lmfao" "you know you're exactly the goats r07 wrote about right?" (Because r07 is a god who cannot possibly be contradicted, this is supposed to be the worst insult somehow) (these fans cannot seem to decide who the goats are an analogy for, considering they'll scramble to say they only represent the story's witch hunters as a criticism of true crime fans when you call out r07's arrogance, yet they'll smugly tell you you're just a goat when you question the story itself. Thank you, it's nice to know that Ryukishi wrote about me, but that doesn't answer the fucking question, Brian)

It's incredibly ironic. How did a story like Umineko create and encourage so many people to sanctify one "official answer" and taking any other attempt as an insult?? Like is anyone feeling how ryu07 completely fucked up at what he was trying to do?

"So I won't open the catbox and reveal what actually happened on the island." oh, that's cool, I actually really like that! I agree that ultimately the true events of that day are a pretty trivial part of the story, and it's way more interesting not to know - "anyway it's Rudolf and Kyrie and it happened exactly like so and so, and Shkanontrice did this and that".

... Okay, well I really wish that had remained a mystery forever, since the point was that any truth would've been anticlimatic, and the choice to reveal that genuinely kills a lot of what made Umineko's appeal to me, but I guess we can still have fun with EP1-4 and try several alternative theories for the sequence of events- "here's the manga explaining everything in detail and if you didn't get it have you tried maybe having some more love? It would be sooo clear if you had love lmfao. you literally cannot comprehend my work unless you have"

... I really wish that guy would stop making assumptions about the inner mind of complete strangers who read his work, but I do enjoy getting to choose an ending! it really fits in with Umineko's theme of choosing the truth for yourself and making your own path that you can be happy with, as long as you keep thinking- "the Magic ending is meant to be the true end btw. if you prefer the other one you pretty much have no heart lol, it's obviously framed like a bad ending and there's only one acceptable choice and one way ange can find happiness"

... man, I'm so bored. Why write a game like that and then make it so that some choices are better than others instead of letting people think for themselves? Why would you force an interpretation on people/Ange when I've been led to believe that the narrative was against that sort of things? You want to highlight the value in your vision of "magic", fine, but why am I the heartless bitch for disliking that perspective and even trying to see things differently?

Why would you write a whole game around the really fun concept of several tales happening at the same time and the existence of endless truths inside the same catbox only to open the catbox and tell me "NO, you need to think a certain way, and if you don't like my answer FUCK YOU"

I understand that maybe he just had a specific answer in mind but I'm sorry the way he write the ending simply does not match the vision he seemed to have in the earlier chapters.

I genuinely respect Umineko as a work, I think it's one of the most ambitious stories I've seen and there is some amazing writing in there, but if Ryukishi wanted to allow for people to keep thinking and discussing what it means, he has failed miserably and I'm not talking about confession of the golden witch, I'm talking about the way he and his minions have shut down any possible discussion under the guise of "you just don't get it" (rephrased to "you don't have love" to make it sound more enlightened) and it's soured my enjoyment of something that should've been an amazing story. What is even left to discuss here when everyone has pretty much already made up their mind?

[yril-writes]

– DAFFODIL

synopsis ; Those flowers remind me of those eyes, is what she says. Just like the golden petals of daffodils, it always reminded her of Bokuto Koutarou's golden pair of eyes.

scenario ; unexpected things happened and unfortunately it happened to you, got into an accident and can't recall a thing.

"I promise that I'll be good...just don't leave me..."

type ; short story

include/s ; bokuto koutaro

pairing/s ; character x fl! reader

genre ; a mountain filled with sad corn, angst

This was the first time in a while she had ever roamed around the streets, of course she would be lost in the moment just feeling all her surroundings up.

Until such a moment, upon walking down the street, she came across a mini shop that sells all kinds of flowers, but only one captivated her attention. Just like these yellow flowers behind the transparent glass in front of her reminded her of someone with these very same golden yellow petals.

(These golden petals remind me of those pairs of golden orbs of the eyes of that man...)

She thought as she gave a small chuckle at a mere thought of the man with the same golden hue orbs as the flowers.

"Excuse me, miss? Do you like these daffodils?" The elderly looking woman stood outside that catching your attention with her flowers. She gave a sweet and sincere smile.

(Daffodil, huh?)

"I'll buy one bouquet." She replied and even showed a quick smile towards the woman.

Surprisingly there is a hint of scent to it. The scent emits this delicate yet cool spring aroma to it, and can be considered as sweetly captivating and unique. But the color really struck her the most because of how it reminds her of that day in spring when she met him.

(Now that I think about it, our first meeting was in the hospital...when I slipped on the staircase...)

Lost in the train of thought, she gathered some memories that led to what she was thinking about.

"You should be careful, not everything in this world goes round as you please." The man with a pair of golden orbs shining due to the sun, offers his hand towards the woman who has fallen down the staircase.

"You have such, pretty eyes..." She uttered out of nowhere, the woman immediately placed her palm to cover her mouth as the man offered his hand in assistance of her in getting up the man then gave a hand and pulled her up.

"I often get that compliment, but it's the first time that someone was mesmerized by it. To the point that they would slip." The man replied as he released a chuckle and gave such a blinding smile.

She was distracted by how warm the man's palms are and how big they are in comparison to her. Realizing a little late she immediately let go of the hand of the man and thank him.

The woman kept off walking at the side of the street, she didn't even know that she walked past the flower shop a few blocks now due to the loss in thought.

She was filled with him, not even knowing anything about that man, only that he possesses two golden orbs for an eye and has a weird combination of white and gray hair.

(I wonder, will I ever meet that man again...)

Out of the blue, her phone rings, it's a call from her cousin. Her cousin is working for a shounen manga magazine company, which was a rare call for this cousin of hers, so she immediately answered.

"Keiji, what's up?"

[ Are you going to watch the match? ]

"Oh yeah, one of my friends can't attend it. So I'm going instead. Doing them a favor by watching a lame volleyball game."

[ You are in for a treat, though, Bokuto-san is playing. I told him that my niece is coming, be sure to give him my regards. ]

After that minute call, Akaashi ended it. She let out a long and annoyed sigh, scratching the back of her neck is one way for her to show how irritating is the situation she is in right now.

And to be honest, she isn't liking it at all.

(...I should've gone home and slept)

Upon walking a few more blocks, she finally reached the stadium, entering inside, the benches are filled with people. Just seeing how packed the seats are means they game is somehow the most awaited ones yet.

(But this type of atmosphere is what I hate the most, too many people...)

"(Y/N)...?"

Turning her head to the side, she sees a familiar figure. Only now he is much different from what she can remember. The man with gray hair then walked towards her.

(Ah, he is taller and bigger now.)

"Bokuto-san. Keiji, told me to send his regards for your match. And I bought these flowers for you."

"I am actually shocked that you are here standing in front of me, I thought that Akaashi was playing with me." He says as he begins to rub the back of his neck while looking at the other way.

The look he has indicated with those golden orbs of him clearly emits sadness somehow her chest clenches at the sight of it.

"Ah! I'll guide you to your seat!" He says with a cheerful tone as he walks as if guiding her to her seat.

Following behind this man, made her remember memories just a few months ago in the hospital. That broad back of his, gave such protective and a safety secure.

"(Y/N)!" Says Akaashi, who looked pale and worried at the sight of his cousin laying in a hospital bed.

"Keiji..."

"WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU DONE?!"

The face that Akaashi made to her that day still terrifies her. But with Bokuto, she feels at ease.

"Here is your seat! I reserved it last minute! Just in case you would come...like Akaashi said."

(Ah, I didn't tell him I already have a seat...)

The man smiles brightly, but she doesn't feel anything but still she gave her regards to him. But she felt something aching within her every time she saw the man grinning.

"Bokuto! Was that your girlfriend?! She is such a beauty!" His teammate said as he nudged Bokuto.

"...was my girlfriend."

Bokuto was surprised when Akaashi called him out before the match even began. This was unexpected for Bokuto since it was even rarer for Akaashi to call.

"She'll come and watch the game, act normal. Don't be stupid."

"She? You mean..."

"Yeah, I actually planned this and her friend was cooperative. I hope you'll do better this time."

Of course he was hyper only to hear such news, he immediately reserved a spot for her and even prepared himself a hundred times before she came.

At the entrance, there was no doubt that Bokuto saw her immediately. Who wouldn't when she radiates such an aura across the room. Hesitating to even go near her, she then makes eye contact. Then that was his cue.

(Keiji wasn't kidding when he said he is a pro volleyball player...)

Upon watching the match she couldn't help but reminded of that time in the hospital. These kinds of sudden memories really hit differently.

(Those eyes of him, weren't as pitiful as before.)

"I am actually a friend of Akaashi!"

"Yes, I am aware. But who are you to me?"

She pinches her brows, as if in pain. She hated how she felt with these sudden headaches.

(I need some air.)

She then made her way out, and roamed around the streets to come across a vast sea. In the other hand Bokuto concentrating on the game, gazes where she was sitting only to see the spot empty. He immediately lost focus on the game, and switched out.

He ran out the stadium to look for her. Bokuto felt his heart sank the moment he saw the seat empty. And ran immediately without any second thoughts.

(Not again...)

"I never even liked you in the first place."

(No...not this again...)

"You are annoying, just go away."

(Don't go!)

He immediately asked permission to sit out from the game and head outside, looking around for her. He wasn't thinking straight, just focusing on finding her. As he runs across the pavements he remembers memories from the past.

"I like you, Bokuto-san!"

"Then shall we date?" Bokuto said with such a cold tone.

Bokuto remembered how he took all the attention from her as a past time, he actually never liked her in the first place. Because he also thought the she never liked him as well knowing that in the end she really did like him genuinely.

"I hate you." She was in the verge of tears, as she said those words with such a strong feeling.

"If you hate me that much, will you forget about me?"

After that argument, Bokuto didn't pay attention to the road and was nearly killed by a speeding truck only to be pushed aside by her, making her head deal damage. Making her to what she is now, as if an empty shell, emotionless and numb, even forget about certain things.

"Why...did you save me...?" He said with his voice shaking, holding her in his arms.

"I lied, I don't hate you..."

After running and running Bokuto saw her standing and staring at the sunset in the vast sea. Lost in thought deeply taking the air in. Bokuto felt the sink of relief overwhelm him.

[ I lied, I don't hate you. I love you.]

"(Y/N)...!" He yelled in the distance.

Turning around she saw the man, catching his breath. Bent and both hands touching his knees.

(Again with those eyes...)

Bokuto them made his way towards her as fast as he can, he didn't want to waste another second.

"Did you think that I'll leave? I haven't even given you your flowers, I just needed to catch some—"

"I thought you left me again...I can't...just thinking of you leaving me, I hate it. Leaving all of a sudden...what if?!"

"What are you so afraid of that even drove you to tears?"

"I am afraid of losing you again..."

"Please, just stay with me."

(Ah, I heard this as well in the hospital...)

That very day of an accident was just pure shock to Akaashi, he was at school at that time then he was suddenly called out by the teacher letting him know that her cousin was just hospitalized due to the accident that occurred that very same morning.

Akaashi didn't have any second thoughts at all, bursting in and out of the school campus, he immediately head down to the hospital they told him.

(So that's why I haven't seen her this morning! She didn't...make it to school!)

Even though he was losing a ton of his breath and energy he kept going, he was restless. He was desperate to see her cousin.

Upon arriving at the hospital, a familiar figure surprised him; it was Bokuto Koutarou. Getting closer to him, he didn't waste any time and directly asked where his cousin was. Akaashi didn't waste any time and rushed to where she was.

"(Y/N)!"

"Keiji..."

"WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"I— can't remember..."

Those words broke him, his cousin clueless as to why she was put in this situation is now in pain for the reason she can't remember. Akaashi was filled with anger and he burst it all out in Bokuto.

"Bokuto-san, I heard from the teacher what happened."

"Akaashi—"

"You said something to her that's the only reason I can think of Bokuto-san! I don't know what you said but what I know is that definitely drove her to this point."

After Akaashi vented all the things he wanted to say, he left to get some air. Bokuto stands now in front of her door, debating whether it is a good thing to even show his face in front of her.

(I'll just check up on her and leave....)

"Hi...I know this is weird but I am a friend of your cousin."

"I am aware, but who are you to me?"

(So straightforward!)

Bokuto explained and even told about how he knew her and shared some memories to patch up the ones missing.

"You, are a bad liar."

"Huh...?"

"Bokuto-san, I heard you and Akaashi talking. He said some pretty bad stuff. And you said you were fine, when you clearly aren't."

(Bokuto-san, huh?)

"Oh...that, it's because..."

Bokuto couldn't say a word he just sat there silently gazing upon the girl he realizes he holds dear. But now it is too late, she had forgotten about him. And he began thinking maybe this is for the better.

(Forgetting about the things I've done, maybe this is my punishment...I deserve every bit of this...)

"I'll leave you be, you should rest up."

Mustering up a fake smile was hard, but she saw right through him.

"Bokuto-san, did anyone tell you that you have such eyes?"

"But didn't you just tell me that a few hours ago...?"

Then in clicked, the doctor told him that she has short term memory loss. It aches him to see it happening.

"Oh, did I? I can't remember..."

Both hands gripping on her shoulders, she can clearly feel his feelings.

"I am afraid of losing you again..."

"Please, just stay with me."

Bokuto is now in tears, hugging tightly the woman he now loves and holds dearly.

"Bokuto-san, I remembered why I was mesmerized by those eyes of yours."

"They are such a cruel color, despite having such vibrant colors. Those eyes just symbolize that nothing lasts in this world."

"I don't get it..."

"There will come a time when those eyes won't feel as empty as they are now, you'll be able to find their glow again."

"Are you saying..."

"I won't be able to fulfill that wish of yours, Bokuto-san."

The wind rushed between of them, Bokuto felt distant despite her in front of him. Tears just kept streaming down to his cheeks and down to his chin and now dripping on the sidewalk.

He didn't have the right words to say, he was in shock to see how she smiled and how he saw a reflection of himself upon those eyes in front of him.

"Having me here won't make you go forward. I'm just holding you back. I gave it some time to think, and I think I should accept the offer from another country."

"How can you say that it will make me go forward, when you are the very reason as to why I am standing. I want you here, by my side. I want to make things right— I want to do better..."

Cupping his face with both of her hands, she lifts to see that the corners of his eyes have become reddish and his nose too. He was bawling his eyes out.

"I want to get better, and it turns out it's going to be effective in that country. This is just a farewell goodbye to a new beginning."

"I promise that I'll be good...just don't leave me..."

"Here, have these. The color really resembles those eyes of yours."

"You're cruel..."

Having to go to another country to get better and having to find some good help. Bokuto was left all alone, though despite it all, he thought of it as a nice choice for her to get better. Years go by, and he only hoped for the best for her.

"Maybe someday, you'll find your way back to me..."

"And maybe one of those days, you'd give me daffodils again..."

A/n !

No, I have not, so I decided to search it up and.. read it, well it is quite. Interesting to say the least, the kouhai girl though :) ... it's making me frustrated. Lol.

➶◜◝➴

Effortlessly gaining attention,

Effortlessly being attractive,

Everything he do seems, effortless.

Everyone seemed to have a crush on him, good God, there's no way he'll notice you among these people.

Is what you said on the first week of you both started working together, but he throw that fact out of the window by reaching out to you first.

He was overwhelmed over something, and needed help. Though he was quite shy asking for the favor. You told him it's okay, you'll help him. He was thankful for that, and ever since then he talked to you often, more often as the time goes on.

And you both become friends! And Your feelings towards him also grows as you continue being friends with him, sometimes it's hard for you to hide your feelings towards him.

And it's frustrating for you on how dense he is!

. . .

"Shu!-" You call out to him as your heart skipped a beat when he turned his chair towards you, looking at you curiously with his identic V-shaped smile. "Are you, free tonight?" You asked as you unconsciously fiddle with your fingers, his eyes soften slightly, "Shu~" Before the raven haired male could reply, he got cut off as he tilt his head towards the person who's calling out to him.

"Yeah?" He blinked confusedly at them, "Are you up for a drink tonight?" They asked, Shu blinked at them then glanced at you who's looking away and biting the inside of your mouth. He cleared out his throat and looked back at them, "Sorry, I have plans with someone else already for the night." He smiled apologetically as he scratch the back of his neck.

"Oh.. How unfortunate" You glance back at Shu who's talking with them, you don't know what to feel for that. You just hope there's no one coming in the middle of your time alone with him like last time.

Numerous time both of you had been disturbed by your coworkers whenever you're both are hanging out alone somewhere in a restaurant, he welcomed them warmly but you. You're quite annoyed by how the same damn person kept on encountering you and him.

It made you think that this person is following both of you whenever you asked Shu to hangout together, the fact that they also stick so, undeniably close with Shu making you want to just quit working.

. . .

You're now sitting across your coworker, he's eating noodles in front of you, he noticed you staring, and both of you made eye contact for one second before looking away from you, you cannot miss that slight pinkish color on his cheeks as he continue eating before asking you,

"Is there, something on my face?" He asked as he leaned away from the table wiping his mouth with some tissue, looking at you curiously. "Huh? Oh, uh no, no.. I'm, sorry for staring" You apologized sheepishly as you looked away embarrassed, he chuckled softly as he rest both of his hands on the table.

"I believe, you, want to talk about something?" He said as he played with the small spoon in his drink, "Ah.. well, I-" "Oh, Shuu! What a coincidence!" A familiar voice of your coworker ring into both of your ear.

You looked up at them same goes for Shu, who is quite, startled to see them here. "O, oh, hey.."

. . .

And after that they joined you both, sitting oh so godly close to Shu, making you no longer have appetite to eat. You're now just drinking your drink in frustration and disappointment, this is the nth time they found you and joined you.

You are convinced they're a stalker by this point, you glanced at them both as they talk to Shu, and shamelessly flirting with the raven.

You noticed how he glanced at you, silently asking for your help, making your heart throb for one second.

You then cleared your throat and gained their attention, they look at you confusedly, "Hm? What's wrong?" They asked, oh so innocently. "Sorry, I think you went too far on my boyfriend." You spat out, it took you a damn second to realize what you said.

Oh God.

Even Shu himself is also shocked at your word, but then he followed your lead, "B, Boyfriend? You? And Shu? Since when?? Both of you doesn't seem like lovers at work."

You are screaming internally at them, "I am not ready to show our relationship publicly, and it is none of your business anyway." You snapped back at them.

Both of you are almost attacking each other, if it's not for him to step in between you, the three of you will get kicked out from the restaurant.

. . .

And now both of you are walking next to each other in silence, you are way too flustered to talk after what you just said at the restaurant.

"...Thank you" He whispered, you glanced at him, not realizing how red your cheeks are. "Ah, It's.. okay, I'm sorry for suddenly calling you my lover." You apologized, he went silent, you encourage yourself to look at him.

And you did not regret it, you see how flustered he is as he looked away from you, his blush is visible all the way down to his neck. Making your heart skip a beat, you internally cursed at yourself.

He is so cute.

. . .

Day after day, week after week, so many things happened between you and him, also with that one coworker of yours. Literally making you go insane, but he somehow manage to keep yourself sane enough to continue working.

If it's not for him, you're probably going to quit your job.

You are so, frustrated, annoyed on how clingy your coworker is towards Shu, if only he realized your feelings towards him.

. . .

One night, both of you are working quite late night, only both of you are left in the office. Shu sometimes would come check up on how you're doing, to see if you're still awake or not because if you're asleep at the office that, is not good.

"(Y/n)" He called out to you as he walk to your table, to notice you have fallen asleep. He carefully approached you, he bended over slightly to see your face, his hand slowly reaching out to your face but he immediately stopped half way and gently pat your shoulder.

"Wake up... You can't sleep here" He said as he tried to wake you up, you groaned as you slowly stretch your arms out. Letting out a sigh, before looking around.

You look up at the familiar figure, slowly blinking at him. "Shu?..." He hummed softly as a response, "...I," You paused for one moment.

Thinking if you should say it or not.

You proceed to lay your head in between your arms that's on the desk, "....I like you, and it's.." You frowned, "Frustrating to see how they, ...cling on you so much.." You continued.

He didn't say anything, instead he grabbed a chair and sat next to you. He silently listen to you, "..My chest, hurts.. whenever I see them so close to you.. haha.. foolish of me huh?" You buried your face further as you pour your thoughts and feelings out.

Shu scooted himself closer to you, also resting his arms on your desk, he laid his head on top of his arm. Looking at you, "...Me too" he whispered. Making you slowly look up, looking at your side. Confused.

Both of you are so close, you can feel his warmth next to you, his violet eyes staring back into yours. "..Too?" You repeated, his eyes soften as he finally moved his hand towards your cheek.

His movement is quite hesitant, but the moment his hand touched your cheek, "I have feelings for you too" He looked away for a moment, cheeks flushed slightly in embarrassment. "I, ..have, fallen for you since the first time I saw you" he confessed.

Your heart skipped a beat when you heard his confession,

Him? He had liked you ever since he laid eyes on you the first time?

No way.

You were drowned in your thoughts, not realizing that you had been staring at him. "...I like you" he said, making you snap out from your thoughts. "..I was, so excited when I heard you call me as your lover" he said as he gently brush his fingers against your cheek.

"You did?" He nodded his head when you asked, now you don't know if you should call yourself dense for not realizing the hints from him.

Him, asking for your help instead of others.

Him, who would spare his time for you.

Him, that knows what you like and dislike from the conversation you have with him

Him, who had a gentle, loving smile towards you.

How did you not realize that, he had been treating you differently from others. Yet you didn't realize it, and called him dense? But the signs are not so obvious for you to see.

"...So" You trailed off, "Are we..?" He blinked before letting out a small chuckle, "We, confessed didn't we?"

. . .

That night, is a night you will never forget.

Both of you are now officials, Shu will lightly push your clingy coworker away from him since, he, belong to you now.

He would come up to you and pat your head, making you pout for him messing up your hair, but eventually let out a small laugh.

You'll hug him by the waist, making sure everyone knows that he belongs to you, and you, belongs to him.

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict episode 10 review

It was kind of funny how Mayuri was talking to Ashisogijizo expecting it to answer to him (or maybe not). However, it would have been funnier if Ashisogijizo had actually answered Mayuri with this deep male voice. Just to see Mayuri scoffing and contemplating he hadn't put such a function into Ashisogijizo. Today's episode's theme seemed to be unexpected growth. At least in the eyes of Mayuri.

It was nice we learned more about Nemu or should I call her Nemuri no. 7? I feel like the reason why Mayuri settled to call her 'Nemu' was due to the fact Nemu survived beyond his expectations and continued to grow, so he wasn't anymore dreaming. (As for those who don't know, "nemuri" means sleep.) Though, ironically Nemu felt no. 7 was her true name, instead of Nemu. But I suppose in the end she accepted it. At least after her talk with Akon. This made me think Akon acted a bit like a surrogate father to Nemu which was super sweet!

Also, as a side note, it seemed Nemu had a rather sweet childhood even though she was obviously growing up in a laboratory, but even so. She seemed to grow in a pretty good environment (she had toys and all other things a child would need and I bet she was watched over 24/7). Which lead to me ponder did Nemu's 'growth' cease at some point? Because if we compare her adulthood to her childhood the way she was mostly treated in her adulthood was abusive. It felt like Nemu was this genius child, but once she hit puberty/adulthood she became 'normal' and thus a disappointment to Mayuri. which led to Mayuri behaving the way he did toward Nemu. But once she showed once again signs of 'growth' he seemed amazed and almost sad Nemu went and sacrificed herself for his sake. Write about a very complex father-daughter relationship! Because Mayuri was Nemu's father in a sense, even I bet Mayuri would rather gouge his eyes out than admit that.

In that sense, Nemu was the perfect opponent against Pernida when came to defeating him. If not Nemu, I'm quite sure Mayuri would have had a much harder time defeating him as Mayuri mostly ended up being amazed by everyone's growth and in Nemu's case her 'perfection'! Luckily ghost of Szayelaporro came to the rescue which in itself was very ironic. But it was enough to snap Mayuri out of his frozen state and pocket Nemu's brain. Without him doing that...Pernida would have evolved even more. It made me wonder if Pernida had managed to devour Nemu fully, would he have become more human-like? Well, no matter what, I'm sure Nemuri no. 7's brain will be put to good use. (Not to spoil anything, but manga readers can surely agree on this, hm?)

Oh, it was a neat detail it showed how Toshiro and Rangiku got shipped to the battlefield, because as far as I can remember in the manga Toshiro just randomly appeared at one point. My memory of this point of manga is very shaky because this whole Mayuri and Nemu part took an extremely long time to be explained and covered, which goes to show Kubo's favorites... I wonder if Mayuri will combust when he learns about Ururu and Jinta? Because I'm very sure he will at some point or another go to Kisuke and gloat about Nemu and I wouldn't put it past to Kisuke to slyly mention Ururu and Jinta, and the fact, 'oh yeah, I too created artificial souls that can evolve'. But while Mayuri clearly geared toward a more shinigami-like existence, Kisuke geared toward more a human-like existence. It makes one wonder...which one is nearer to that 'perfection' that Mayuri was seeking? As Ururu and Jinta will obviously grow faster and quicker older than Nemu would have.

Random side note, Ikkaku and Yumichika thanking Mayuri, and also Toshiro thanking him was nice. Yet at the same time somewhat bizarre, considering everything that Mayuri has done in the past. But like Mayuri basically pointed out...beggars can't be choosers.

It seems Mayuri wasn't the only one who came with 'luggage' to Wahrwelt as Giselle had brought her girl friends! And good thing she had, because those foot soldiers seemed to be tough ones to defeat with Yhwach's eye power in those. I wonder if those are part of Yhwach himself or his power's manifestations or what? In the manga those didn't appear, so this is all new to everybody!

Looks like the next episode will be about Kyoraku and Nanao, based on the ending "poem" card. The one who talked was Nanao and the next episode's title hinted at Kyoraku. Not going to manga spoilers, but those who have read the manga will know the next episode will more than likely focus fully on Kyoraku and Nanao, just like this episode focused mainly on Mayuri and Nemu. Which begs the question...whose fights the last two episodes (since I assume this cour will be 13 episodes and more than likely the last two episodes will air on the same day just like last time) will feature? Because there will be one last cour and hopefully this cour will also end up with a big bang, like last time.
