It's cold when you open the fitting room door.
"Sorry, I couldn't decide."
Kuroo pockets the map of the amusement park, eyeing you from head to toe. You pull the hem of your blazer that matches the one he's rented.
"You look good," he says with that smile of his, one you've seen too many times that you're not sure if he's being sarcastic.
But you believe it—that the school uniform you picked from the costume rental does suit you, even if it's been years since you graduated from high school.
You almost ask if he likes you.
"Where are we going first?" You ask, your breath turning to fog.
His hand reaches out for yours, and you give it, way too easily than you'd like to admit.
Kuroo points his chin to a tall door decorated with vines and horned creatures. "Over there. You ride a cart then shoot monsters with darts."
This isn't his first offense.
It started with the chocolates. On Valentine's Day. He gave you chocolates on Valentine's Day, the moment you clocked in at work. Then he gave chocolates to the rest of the team, so maybe it was just consideration.
But the very next day, beneath a curtain of snow, Kuroo began riding the train home with you, even if he lives on the other end of the line.
It took him five more train rides before he slipped his hand on yours, his grip firm but light. He didn’t say anything, just ran a finger on your knuckles.
Then he did this thing where he folded in your thumb between his and your palms.
Even now, at the amusement park, you let him do this. Sometimes you do it yourself. You like it, this measure of protection.
It bubbles up your chest with a warm feeling you can put a finger on, but you don't.
Pretty sure it's illegal to fall in love with your boss.
"We're up next," Kuroo says.
He leads you to a dim tunnel lit by LED lights. There's a line of carts in front of you, each installed with safety bars and a basket of darts.
Once you've settled, the cart moves and the monster cutouts wobble in the air.
"Wanna make a bet?" he asks. He hits three cutouts with an archer's accuracy.
You, however, only get one out of five. "What do you have in mind?"
"Winner dares the loser."
"Let's be more specific." This time you manage to hit three. "Like if I win, I'll have full control of your credit card for a day. You know, stuff like that. Don't be boring."
"Boring?" Kuroo huffs. He takes out his disbelief on five cutouts. "Then if I win, I'll tell you I love you."
The remaining targets escape you. The darts are left rattling, your hands clammy from linking your fingers together.
Kuroo stops playing too. Glancing at the tally, there was never a chance for you to win this game.
"Kuroo-san," you stress the honorific. "You're just gonna hurt me."
"Is that how you think of me?" He asks with a quiet voice, his hand moving to cover yours. You almost slip your thumb in. "I won't hurt you. I will never hurt you."
"But you will. They'll think you like my work because you like me."
"But I do like your work. You're good at it. I trust you with it. I trust you, that's why I love you."
The cart keeps moving, red and purple lights dotting his hand. Then—the light at the end of the tunnel.
"I've thought about this for a long time," he says. "If you're worried, there's a lot of ways around it. Because we produce the best results whenever we work together. Akaashi's even willing to be your manager. What I'm saying is– I can love you if you'll let me."
You get down from the cart and walk outside, the last bits of winter nipping at your skin. Kuroo is still holding your hand.
Kuroo stops abruptly, your feet almost tripping. He steps in front of you and looks at you, face closer than ever.
"I can love you," he repeats, "if you'll let me." His breath is gentle on your skin. He grazes his fingers on your cheeks, your face warming up.
Your father once told you that you can make anybody fall in love with you, as long as you played your cards right. A constructive kind of love that can be manufactured if you're being strategic.
Maybe Kuroo is just being strategic.
But the warmth of his fingers says this is different. This feels like something that just naturally exists between you, something as ancient as thunder.
You reach for Kuroo and share your first kiss under the barren trees. The pulse of your heart travels to your fingers, your neck, your jaw.
"I love you, too," you say.
Kuroo's eyes are in a state of shock, almost frozen, until it thaws and melts and then—it's spring.
#KRYSTAL IM SQUEALING 😭😭😭😭#I CAN LOVE YOU IF YOU LET ME IS SUCH A RAW LINE. IM!!!!#THE WAY HE REPEATS IT TOO GOT ME HIDING MY FACE IN SNØFLES FUR !!!!!!!#the final sentence too. SHIT !!!!!!!!! THIS BROUGJT GREAT EXCITEMENT#THANK U FOR WRITING IT AND SHARING IT 🥺🥹🥹🥹🥹#nohr.rec

D.Gray Man 20 years anniversary
That's right, next 31 May 2024, D.Gray man will be 20 years old. As a celebration, I would like to do a fandom project : a redraw of the first chapter. Which mean, many artists coming together, drawing each a page of the first chapter in their own style.
The first chapter is about 55 pages long, that's a lot, so here's an interest check to see if the project would be possible !
Some things you may want to know if there is enough interest to begin the project :
This project would be free to download once finished, we're not going to sell anything from this, it will be just for fun, a tribute to the manga.
Discord will be needed to talk with each others as it's a big project
You can do whatever you want with your pages as soon as the story/dialogue are respected and the end picture is of good quality (if you do traditional). B&W, colour, scrap booking, painting, traditional... go wild!
You'll be free to choose 3 pages you would like to draw, hopefully this way, everyone will be able to do one page they want!
If we have (shockingly) way more than 50 artists interested in participating, we'll do the whole first tome!
Old fan, new fan, seasoned artists or determined beginner, everyone's welcome !
This idea came from the @conanredraw go see it if you want a better idea of the project ! The whole result isn't out yet, but it'll be soon.
Please consider rebloging it so more D.Gray Man fan can see it! If you can share it on Twitter/X, it would be incredibly helpful, as I do not know the fandom there at all ^^'
Have a good day :)

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:
Yes, it's an ableist slur.
Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.
Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

I don't think I've ever met a disabled person who didn't have the idea of themselves as an abled person haunting them. That is the yardstick by which our many of our successes are measured, and our failures pitied.
It's great that you achieved that! If only you didn't have your disability holding you back, imagine what you could do!
It's too bad that you weren't able to do it. If you didn't have your disability, you may have been able to.
You start doing it yourself, too, comparing everything that you can do to what you could have done if you just didn't weren't disabled. Seeing yourself as an inferior version of yourself.
But we aren't inferior versions of ourselves. We are the only us who exists. There is not an abled version of us waiting to outshine us. We should not have to live in the shadow of someone who doesn't exist.

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

my utopia has disability in it. my utopia includes free healthcare and no-questions welfare and state-funded carers. my utopia includes building requirements that centre disabled bodies — ramps and lifts and dimmer switches and braille signs. my utopia has disability in it. because without disability, it’s not much of a utopia at all

One of my FAVOURITE ship dynamics to write or read in fics is when two characters are basically already a couple but they just haven't realised it yet. They call each other up at like 3am, they cuddle, they sleep in the same bed, they fall asleep in each other's arms, they hold hands, they practically live together, they talk about having a ~ special connection ~, they just haven't actually kissed or done the do or talked about their feelings yet so they're still both like "but I just don't know if they like me in that way!!"

hi nohr! how are you? <3
i recently bought what you are looking for is in the library bc the title and summary got me interested! what are your thoughts on it?
krystal hiiiiiiii my love !!! 🧡✨ im good, a little tired with a minor headache - i got new contacts today i have to try out and theyre in a different prescription than im used to!! what about you? 🥰✨
oh gosh i ended up giving it 5 stars on storygraph because i enjoyed it so much! i borrowed my copy from the library but im definitely buying one for myself after reading! it was.. quaint in like. the absolute best way. i love stories that really dig into humanity (and the different people that we are) and how we move around our lives, so it was such a good match for me !! it is also incredibly hopeful and inspiring and i just closed it after finishing with such a wonderful, light feeling in my head, like somehow everything will work out! 🥹 i hope youll enjoy it half as much as i did, and that itll give you the same inspiring feeling!
please let me know what you think when youve finished it (or during, too!!! i love ranting about books 😍🧡🧡🧡) and let me know your favorite character in it, too!! komachi-san was wonderful to me!!! 🥺
#nohr.talks#lovenote: krystal 🔮✨#AAAAH I LOVE TALKING ABT BOOKS THO IM SO HAPPY U REACHED OUT ABT IT !!!!
