NGL I will never, EVER, understand the Blue Lives Matter crowd. Like, aside from Black Lives Matter opening up important discussions about antiblackness and police brutality worldwide--aside from the many videos and news reports of officers abusing their power, aside from studies warning of neonazis and white supremacists infiltrating police forces, and aside the women who are coming forward about being sexually assaulted and raped by officers 1)

2) (RIP Sarah Everard), aside from the many officers at January 6 and the officers who let those people in in the first place, aside from the current and former cops who have come forward to admit there is a problem(TM)... They're just going to ignore all of that because *checks notes* they dislike the 7% of Black Lives Matter protests that became violent? Really? Ignoring that BLM began in 2013 as a hashtag and had peaceful protests in 2014 that went nowhere, and that the movement didn't

3) gain steam until 2016 when SOME protests became more violent (kind of proving the point about peaceful protests getting little done, honestly...), the Blue Lives Matter folks are just going to ignore a very real, glaring problem because they don't like how it's currently being protested? WTH???

Honestly, if you think about it, it's not confusing or hard to understand at all. The police are the guardians and enforcers of institutional white supremacy, the BLM protests challenge that paradigm and call out the cops instead of treating them like heroes, and the Blue Lives crowd, also being racists who want said institutional white supremacy to be maintained at all costs, are therefore profoundly threatened by it. There is no Black Lives Matter protest that would ever be peaceful and respectable enough for them; just look at how they lost their absolute goddamn minds at Colin Kaepernick quietly kneeling during the national anthem. They refuse to entertain any challenge whatsoever, and the minority of protests that do turn violent are great fuel for their Scary Black People Are Coming To Loot Your Nice White Suburbs fear-mongering. So yeah. For them, it's win-win.

Anyway, like all other institutions of white supremacy and settler colonialism, the police have enjoyed automatic social deference and valorisation as the "protectors of communities" (read: white communities) for so long that any criticism at all makes them scream about Oppression! Even though, as both the American police and the British police in particular (aside from just the Sarah Everard case, the Met in London and other UK police forces are in special measures because their culture has gotten so terrible) are now recognised as safe havens for white supremacists because they are so overtly dedicated to upholding that paradigm and punishing everyone who doesn't fit into it. That is why white supremacists are drawn to law enforcement, because pretty much every Western country will give them license to harass and persecute minorities under the pretense of "maintaining law and order." Because coincidentally, it turns out that the Bad Lawbreakers are always people of color! Who knew?

As I have said before, the Blue Lives and associated people don't want racism to be protested because a) they don't think there is actually any racism to protest, and b) if there IS racism (you can't prove it!), they don't think there is anything wrong with it. So it's not the techniques or tactics of said protests that they really object to; as I said, they thoroughly villainized Kaepernick for the most quiet and respectful protest you could imagine. They just don't think any challenge to their power, and their entrenched belief of law enforcement as heroism, is acceptable at all. Because they want to be able to do the same thing, and often do with little to no consequence (a la Kyle Rittenhouse). So yeah.

This is why it's especially illuminating to see the January 6 rioters and their defenders twisting themselves into knots to avoid admitting the obvious fact that the Trumpers attacked the police, who they clearly expected to be their natural allies, and who were far more lenient with them than they would have been with a similarly violent crowd that happened to be brown. Because the privilege of white supremacy is to literally attack the goddamn Capitol, intend to murder the government and launch a fascist coup, and have all the people who claim to be "defenders of law and order" bending over backward to make excuses for you. Because in this case, the fact that they actually attacked (and killed!) multiple cops is less important than the fact that these cops, despite their privileged institutional position in the armed white supremacist hierarchy, were deemed insufficiently white supremacist to be worthy of armed white supremacist protection. As I have said before, this is why white supremacy destroys even its most ardent supporters, as well as obviously and most violently its victims.

In short, when considering the roots of any social problem or culture issue in America, it's probably accurate to refer to the below handy meme:

I mean. That pretty much sums it up.

howdy wil! Answer any or all of these if you want :D

violet— do you like to cook or bake? if so, what is it that you like to make?

azalea— what is the most recent song you listened to? how do you feel about it?

lotus— what is your favorite color and in what shade? e.g. sage green, navy blue, ect. dahlia— do you like to follow current fashion trends or do you have a particular style that you prefer to stick to?

HELLOOOOOOO thank u for adding the questions w ur ask i an in the middle of watching youtube videos n i dont have the brainpower to copy/paste these LMAO (so sory i didn't for u i do not think very well)

violet: i do sometimes!! theres not a lot of food or ingredients n shit in my house n cant rly buy like .any n also massive lack of energy so i cant a lot but i love cooking n baking even if its usually just helping my mom 🫶 im very fond of making things w chicken massive safe food 4 me in many ways

azalea: salamander by deco*27‼️ i adore this song SO much i just have to ignore that its about cup noodles and im good .most recent english song tho would be electioneering by radiohead which!! is actually my current favorite song off of ok computer :3

lotus: this is such a hard question for me to answer bc im so odd w colors 😭 i think?????? probly like a dark brick red.. overall i tend to stick more to color schemes vs specific colors n .all my color schemes tend to center around either red or neutrals so

dahlia: RAHHHHHH FASHION QUESTION so. for me its kinda a mix of both? it REALLY depends on the trend n who i see in it n how accessible it is to me n if i actually LIKE it.. like im not going to sit here n deny that my style has never been influenced by or even changed by trends bc thatd be a goddamn lie but also its not been like. a permanent change ig???? leme like share examples to fully explain

so heres two outfits i wore in 2021, first was sometime in summer second was during october or september probs?? now obviously these aren't like the same exact style but like in my brain n for how i dress they come close enough (also yes i had my hair dyed red two times in a row .no they were not the same shade or anything. btw think in second picture i already had my mullet why didnt i wear my hair up wth was up w that)

these r some more recent outfits!! first one is actually the most recent picture i have of any of my outfits i wore it to a job interview :3 and yes the three others have the same exact top and yes i am wearing the same two pairs of pants in these and yes i did wear both my necklace and pocket watch with them all and yes i did carry the same bag .my style has been toned down a LOT recently tbh n im ngl its def been at least partly influenced by trends.. i dont mind it tho its comfy n cute n i dont have to think much

however sometimes i do still go back to my "old" style that never rly left tbh (in the og pics the only thing i dont have anymore is the skirt n thats bc i dont wear those colors rly anymore).. first one was sometime this summer? second time i think was last month actually!!

n like even still w my toned-back style n shit i still make 3d kandi cuffs n i still listen to music that someone who would see me in passing wouldn't expect n even if these outfits r "tame" bc im way too lazy to go n find pictures from high school (my kandi cuffs used to get worn almost daily + my beloved reflective galaxy platforms have gotten so scuffed from the steps to the front 🫶) they're still pretty different in my mind i think to what i wear now so like .yeah what i wear out has been influenced by whatever trend i see on tiktok however its never been fully based on that 4 many reasons n the old parts of my style never rly "leave" they just get pushed back until a later time

#out there #i still have all of my bows n hair clips that overflow my accessory drawers n my tutus n my t-shirts from hot topic #bc even if its not me rn it was at one point n probs will be again #ngl. i very easily could've explained this both better + w/o these pictures LMAO #i just love showing off my outfits even old ones even tho these r TERRIBLE examples #unfortunately i don't have a lot of older examples bc i used to be rly insecure so i never took pictures EVER #so a lot of those outfits rly got lost to time #do have quite a few more recent outfits tho #including several where i wear my bralettes as tops .man those r cute outfits i love every single one #anyways .rly did use this as an excuse to share some of my (not greatest unfortunately) outfits oops !#ty for asking that question at least tho 🫡#ive always been a bit w fashion but it got a lot more extreme during my senior year #cuz yk .2020 tiktok had an impact on me n my style LMFAO #n that slowly ran out probs towards very end of 2021 where i never rly went out anywhere n if i did it was usually a basic outfit #n then .now again kinda following trends ig at least in what i see but to me its just like #ive always thought these styles were cute n now this gives me the push i needed to start wearing them #yk?#i think im rly just saying shit my brain is mush #ive had todays alpharad gold upload just paused on my tv while typing all this LMAK #pls dont judge my outfits too hard 🙏#ik theyre all kinda copy/paste esp w the items i wear #n to most people on here u wouldn't call any of these n tbh i wouldn't either #but in my defense i have always struggled with very low energy levels SO #done rambling if i forgot something ill edit idfk #ty for the ask again btw :3 #ask #sparksnevadas #also fun fact! on tumblr mobile when answering asks u cant see ur whole tags w/o posting or saving to drafts #so if this seems very incoherent its bc i literally forgot what i just said n had no way to check n tried not to repeat things

summary: you and kageyama had made many promises to one another, but, perhaps the king doesn’t need a princess after all word count: 2k warnings: none! just a lot of angst pairing: kageyama tobio x fem!reader

you would always remember your first day of middle school. that was the day that you decided your older brother would forever be the bane of your existence. not only had he left you at home without waking you up but, he had also begun his walk without you, leaving you to navigate your way through the bustling streets of japan

with every step you took, you swore that your lungs were about to give out. you still had no idea how tooru did this every day and stayed after school for volleyball practice. maybe you could put shaving cream in his pillow or hide his sports sneakers as revenge for leaving you all alone, but, he had gotten you the coveted manager position for his team, so, that was something he could hold over your head for months to come

so lost in your thoughts of revenge, you didn’t notice that you had slowed down to a nearly crawling speed, causing the person behind you to knock right into your back, sending you flying to the concrete, papers and books scattering all around, getting trampled by the passerby

“i- i’m sorry!”, a small voice cried out, reaching down to lift you off of the ground and awkwardly dust off your shoulder

you giggled and ran a hand through your hair, holding up your hands, “no, it’s okay! i promise.”

judging by his uniform, he was also a first year in middle school and you were certain you had never seen someone look so nervous. maybe he was lost like you were. there was a pale blush on his face, one which only grew deeper when you walked up to him, curiously leaning inward

“what’s your name?”, you hadn’t even noticed how close the two of you were

you had always been a bubbly person, just like your elder brother. personal space had never been a phrase in your vocabulary and it had been fine that way in elementary school, but you supposed it was time for you to mature a little bit. after all, curiosity did kill the cat

backing up, you held out your hand for him to shake, “i’m oikawa y/n! im a first year, too!”

still, the boy said nothing, clearly too frazzled to open his mouth. with a soft laugh, you picked up the books and papers you had dropped, not minding that he didn’t help. when you came back up from the ground, you noticed that he hadn’t moved at all

taking his hand in yours, you began to run in the direction of your middle school, ignoring his surprised gasp and quiet protests. eventually, he relaxed in your grip and ran beside you, instead of letting you drag him around like a ragdoll

quietly, kageyama snuck a glance at your face, feeling the godforsaken blush from earlier creep it’s way back up his neck. you had to have been the prettiest girl he had ever seen in his short lifespan. no, scratch that- you were the prettiest girl anyone could ever see-

he was almost sad when the two of you reached the gate of kitagawa first. your hand quickly untangled itself from his and you turned to him with a wide grin. kageyama swore his heart had never beaten so fast

“i’ll see you later! thanks for running with me.”, before you could turn around, he clutched onto your jacket, effectively stopping you

“k-kageyama tobio.”, he let out a shaky sigh, “that’s my name.”

after that encounter, you became what kageyama tobio would consider to be his closest friend. each day, there would be a pouch of yogurt or a carton of strawberry milk sitting on your desk, a desk specifically chosen by you due to it’s location-right behind kageyama’s head-

you loved to annoy him during class by poking him with your pencil or slipping notes into the hood of his jacket for him to find later. kageyama would never tell you that he kept them all in a small box on his dresser

during his first year, kageyama knew that you were the only reason he stayed on the volleyball team. anytime your brother teased him, you were jumping on his case, pulling his hair and whining for him to not bully your best friend. oikawa would just ruffle your hair and begin to tease you about having a little crush

kageyama didn’t like that. he didn’t like the idea of you having feelings or even a close friendship wth someone that wasn’t him. you were the only person he felt he could go to when he was overwhelmed, the only that would lay with him and watch clouds on the weekends and the only one who would stay in the gym with him until the late hours of the night to toss volleyballs

“hey, yn? you’re still gonna be my best friend in high school, right?”, kageyama had asked as the two of you sat on the gym steps, quietly sipping from your waterbottles

you quirked a brow, wondering where that question had come from, “of course i am, tobio! do you really think i would leave you all alone?”

kageyama went quiet and you worried that you had said something wrong. without thinking, you reached over and grabbed his hand, feeling him tense under your hold. you could have sworn that his cheeks turned bright red as soon as your fingers grazed one another

so, you sat there underneath the moonlight, feeling your heart begin to beat a little bit faster when your best friend intertwined his fingers with yours, slightly squeezing

but, that connection all changed one quiet, fall day in third year. that was the first time a pouch of yogurt didn’t show up on your desk. you had matured a lot since the first day you met kageyama. you weren’t as curious as before and certainly not as naive

you knew that kageyama and you had lost touch and that things weren’t the same as before. after you quit managing for the volleyball team, late night meetings stopped and hanging out together for lunch was pushed aside for extra practice. it was beginning to drive you crazy

to fill the void left by kageyama, you started to hang out more with the other third years, such as kunimi and kindaichi. but after a while, kunimi began to see the lost look in your eyes whenever you glanced towards kageyama’s locker, only to find him missing

but, the lazy boy didn’t have the heart to tell you what had happened to your old best friend. he couldn’t let you know how kageyama screamed at them, how he slammed balls on the court out of frustration, how he had become the king

kunimi knew it was only a matter of time until you found out, though. you had always been smarter than anyone he knew. so, it didn’t surprise him when you arrived at their final game of the season, cheeks painted in their school colors and your old manager jacket on your shoulders

standing at the top of the bleachers, you admired the way kageyama looked in his uniform. he was more mature now from the looks of him but you could tell he still drank his milk and yogurt cartons before every game, judging from the amount of them in the trash can

your heart nearly lept out of your chest when he turned to look up at you, your eyes connecting with his blue ones. you weren’t sure what kageyama was thinking about or if he was even happy to see you there but you were sure his eyes widened just a little bit

after about an hour, the game was in full force and you had been exposed to a side of kageyama you had never seen before. your heart beat faster form the crazed, furious look in his eyes anytime he glanced at his teammates and you couldn’t help but wonder what happened to the boy who was lost on your first day of school

but, the worst was yet to come. when kageyama reaches backward for a set, preparing to score the final point, no one came to receive it. the entire arena was silent, as if everyone was afraid to move and you saw kageyama crack like marble

the game ended after that with a final loss for kitagawa first. you exchanged glances with kunimi, noting the lack of expression in his eyes. you assumed that putting kageyama in his place was enough for him to feel satisfied with how their final season ended

kageyama shoved past his teammates, knocking their shoulders so hard you thought they might fall over. quickly gathering your things, you sprinted down the stairs of the bleachers and towards where you had seen him leave

you skid to a stop when you saw his back, frozen where he stood, fists clenched so tightly he may burst blood vessels. your eyes softened at how tense his shoulders were and you so badly wanted to reach out and help him, but that wasn’t your place anymore

as you took one step forward, kageyama turned to face you, a glaring look in his eyes that made you shiver, “what the hell are you doing here?”

the phrase was a snarl

“i...i wanted to check on you, because-“

“because you feel sorry for me? i don’t need your pity and i don’t want it either!”

running a hand through your hair, you shook your head and glanced up at him, “i don’t pity you. i just wanted to help you...”

kageyama rolled his eyes and chucked the volleyball in his hand at the wall, not even flinching as the sound echoed through the hall. you, however, jolted at the action and took a step back

“what happened to you?”, your voice was barely a whisper

his eyes flared as he turned to face you, “what happened to me? are you serious? what about you, huh? quitting the manager job even though you loved it! you changed everything about who you are!”

you were starting to get angrier; you could feel it in your gut, “i grew up, kageyama! maybe you should try it and stop acting like an arrogant brat!”

kageyama nearly pouted when he heard you call him by his surname. you hadn’t used it for the whole time he knew you. maybe he really had messed everything up this time, but it was too late for apologies now

“i don’t need to explain anything to you! i never even cared about you in the first place! you were always annoying. clinging to my sleeve like some child.”

your eyes were beginning to fill with tears and kageyama felt like he had been punched in the gut when a few rolled down your cheeks. stop it, he told himself. you’re screwing it all up! don’t lost her like this! but he wouldn’t listen, not even to himself

wiping at your eyes with your sleeve, you sniffled then flares up at the boy you used to call your favorite person in the world

“you know what? you’re the king now, great job! you’re the greatest player on the team. but, you’re also the worst human being i’ve met! you care abut no one but yourself and only think about your own future, disregarding everyone else who tries to help you!”

kageyama had never seen you this angry and it terrified him. perhaps, some part of him always thought you would come back to him, sit with him on the gym steps again and count the stars in the sky as he rested his head on your shoulder but that was all gone now

“so im done, kageyama. stay away from me, got it?”

as soon as you turned around, he reached out for you, pulling his arm back as soon as it left his side. why had it had to happen like this? why was he so selfish? if only he had accepted your help, then he still would have had you by his side

maybe he would get another chance one day. if the world allowed him, he would reincarnate as someone who could love you the way you deserved. someone who didn’t push you away, and just maybe... you could love one another again

“hi, im kageyama tobio. it’s nice to meet you.”

“im oikawa yn! it’s nice to meet you too!”

Tamaki and Mirio when their girlfriend over works herself

Request: Um since you are dying bc of school and I feel for you I present to you my comfort request for Mirio and tamaki dealing with their girlfriend when she over works herself. Remember to stay hydrated and to get some sleep. - anonymous

Umm comfort content is best content if I do say so myself. I’m trying to get my shit in line and I’m failing miserably. YAY. We stan a disaster of a writer. But yeh anyways. Hope you enjoy. Love ya.💖💖💖

rules

masterlist

warnings: stress and exhaustion, fluff and comfort.

Amajiki Tamaki

-He has seen the way you have been stressing over your grades lately.

-He knows that it’s your last year and everything is piling up, hero studies and training plus the extra load of work your teachers give you.

-The thing is you always get everything done on time and he has never seen you working so hard and non stop before.

-It kinda scares him.

-He holds himself back from saying anything, afraid of over stepping and offending you or making you angry which trust me was impossible.

-You could never be angry at him he is baby.

-His tipping point came on a Friday morning when he came down from his room only to find you still perched on the same spot he had left you last night.

-Multiple cups of coffee were scattered all around you and he could hear your music blasting through your headphones.

-You must have put it on full blast in hopes of staying awake.

-He knows that sometimes you would pull all nighters in order to get some extra work done and as lond as those one nighters were far in between he was okay with it.

-He himself did it sometimes.

-But he knew that this was the fourth one this month and the second one this week.

-Taking off your headphones, completely ignoring your whines of protest he pulled you up circling one arm around your waist and holding you close while the other one started gathering your stuff.

-After your fair share of kisses and a healthy breakfast he waited for you to get dressed.

-He kept an eye on you the whole day and would snatch any book out of your hands during your breaks, his shyness replaced by pure and flaming concern.

-After class he led you to his room and set you on his bed, wrapping you up in a blanket like a smol burrito and putting on a movie.

-I kid you not, the moment your head met his chest you fell asleep.

-And you wouldn’t wake up!

-He thought you died.

-Thankfully after a 14 hour nap you woke up, refreshed and dehydrated asking Tamaki if he wanted to go out today.

-For a split second he half expected you to go back to studying but your idea of a date was a pleasant surprise.

-And who was he to say no to you????

-Your date was really fun and Tamaki was heppy to see some color returne to your cheeks.

-He knew that you got stressed easily and he would always try to find a way to help you.

-He just couldn’t let the love of his life wither away in the hands of that damned calculus homework or those biology essays.

Togata Mirio

*I swear to GOD I’ll get this tattooed on my BACK*

-Here is someone who isn’t as observant as Tamaki.

-It takes him a few days to realize that you are overdoing it with the homework.

-In reality it takes a date rejection.

-It was a beautiful day outside and he wanted to have a picnic with his best girls, you and Eri.

-He had everything set up and made an overly dramatic invitation but was shot down by a very VERY exhausted no I have to study.

-Boy started watching you like a hawk after that.

-Then he noticed your patern.

-You would sleep for about an hour after class, thinking you were making up for the hours you were missin during the night and then you would sit down in your room and wouldn’t get up until well into the night.

-To be precise your light would go off at 3 am.

-Boyo is huh devestated.

-His baby is basically killing herself wth.

-So he will just insert himself into your study sessions.

-Since he knows how hard you are working and how much you want to succeed he can’t just straight up ask you to stop studying, that would be unfair.

-What he could do though was help you with small breaks.

-He would bring you bento boxes and your favorite snacks, would buy your favorite drinks and would ask you to take a walk with him every few hours. or generally spend some time with him.

-He of course explained to you that he was worried about your health with the amount of studying you were doing.

- “It’s not health babe.”

-He would ask you to talk to him, tell him your worries and rant to him about overwhelming projects, say something stupid you saw or play that new song that randomly popped up in your playlist.

-He would help you get your mind off things for some time giving you the energy you needed in order to go back to studying.

-The only thing that he would be adamant about was your sleeping schedule.

-He literally migrated to your room but because your bed is kinda small he moved you to his instead.

-After midnight he will always get up and just yeet your textbook out of your grasp picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder, making his way to his bathroom to get you ready.

-Then he would just plop you onto his bed and fall asleep.

-Try to get up during the night to secretly study I dare you.

-This man senses EVERYTHING you cannot hide child.

-So just go to sleep.

NIALL

Her eyes roamed on me shamelessly and it made my lips curl. I didn't even dare to take a step closer, scared she'd take a step back so i just waited a few minutes.

We were getting along so well since the start of this trip and it made me realize that most of the time, we had fun together, no matter what we did. The only reasons why we fought was because of jealousy or about the status of our relationship but if we ended up dating and trusting each other, what we had would be epic. I knew it. I felt it. I just didn't know how to tell her anymore. I didn't know how to convince her. But the more time we spent together, the closer I felt to her, and I just hoped that at some point, she'd see what I see.

"Turn around." she let out in a low tone, making me raise my eyebrows.

"Are you... serious?" I asked gently. She started nibbling on her bottom lip and it made me realize how nervous she was. "You know you're beautiful, right?"

"I don't have the kind of body that makes people stare and I know it." she let out, shaking her head lightly. "You say you love having sex with me but, it's all about that connection we have, it's about those feelings. Me just getting naked in front of you wouldn't do anything to you without that."

My lips parted slightly and I frowned before shaking my head too. "The connection and feelings are all that matters, don't you think?"

"I've always just... wanted to be gorgeous for someone, you know? I was never the pretty girl, I was never really important. If I was in a book, I'd be the ugly and fat best friend. I want to be the protagonist."

I took a few steps closer to her slowly and she didn't move. I blinked a few times and breathed in before sighing with a small smile. "You're the main girl in my story, Devie." I whispered. "I thought you knew that."

Her tongue ran nervously on her bottom lip and after a while, she grabbed the bottom on her shirt and passed it over her head. I waited, motionless, as she took off her pants too and I tried to keep my eyes locked with hers for as long as I could. I didn't resist too long and my eyes traveled down on her breasts, moving to her stomach and panties. I knew I was the one who didn't want us to have sex anymore but I had no idea how I'd be able to resist and quickly, I looked up in her eyes and my lips curled on the left.

"Last one in the pool is a loser." I said a bit too loud before jumping in the pool.

When I got my head out of the water, I pushed my hair out of my face wth a fast head movement only to see Devon near me, in the pool. She was rubbing her eyes and my lips curled in a smirk.

"Got water in your eyes?" I asked, pushing more water at her and letting out a laugh.

"Hey!" she did the same to me and we started fighting. I was hearing her laugh, keeping my eyes closed as I received as much water as I was throwing, and it made my heart swell in my chest. I felt a bit bad for changing the subject and not commenting on her being half naked in front of me, but I was so close to kiss and touch her that I just had to move away.

When we finally stopped, she had a smile plastered on her face and she swam a bit closer to me. I watched small waves still move over her chin and it made me want to kiss her again. Everything made me want to kiss her.

"You know, I said I didn't want us to have sex anymore because it hurt too much, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends." I pointed out randomly.

I had no idea if I'd be able to be only her friend. In fact, it seemed highly impossible. Every single time I looked at her, I was tempted to kiss her and tell her how I feel. It was almost automatic, and it was not easy to stop myself. I wanted to write a million songs about her and whisper them to her in the dark, late at night, when we'd be cuddling. I wanted to share everything with her and I wanted her to trust me enough to do the same. I wanted to be the one to make her laugh, to make her smile. I wanted to be the first person on her mind when she'd wake up, and the last before she'd fall asleep at night. I felt so selfish to want all that, to need all that, yet here I was, wanting it so bad it was almost unbearable.

"We can try."

From the tone of her voice, I knew she didn't believe it could work either, but I was ready to try. Not having her in my life would be too tough on me, I knew it.

"Okay, good. Then you should let me show you how to snowboard tomorrow."

This time, she laughed and shook her head. "No, I don't think so."

"Come on, it'll be fun! I promise I won't laugh at you."

She seemed to think for a few seconds, her eyes never leaving mine, and when she finally nodded, my smile grew more. She started running her fingertips on top of the water, and I watched them move, leaving a trail behind. I couldn't understand why everything she did endeared me but It didn't matter.

"You know you're wearing white boxers, right?"

"Yes." I chuckled. "I'm the one who put them on this morning. Besides, that's the only underwear color I own."

"Do you know I'm gonna see your dick through it when you get out of the water?"

"Is that a complaint?"

This time, she just giggled and it made me smile even more. She started swimming away, turning around and getting on her back to float. I followed her to a part of the pool that was not as deep and she disappeared underwater before moving back up very close to me, right in front of me. She sent me a smile and I loved how the lights of the pool reflected on her face. I took a step closer and she took one back, making her smile get bigger. It faltered when her back hit the side of the pool and she tilted her head as I moved even closer.

"You're so beautiful." I whispered as she tilted her chin up to look in my eyes. "You make me want to.."

I stopped myself and pressed my lips together but she just raised her eyebrows up as her lips parted.

"I make you want to what?"

I knew she expected something sexual and I hesitated. Should I tell her just what she wanted to hear, or what I really was about to say? I took my hand out of the water and brought it to her cheek, running my wet fingers on her skin, noticing her eyes fluttering at my touch. I brought one of my thumbs on her bottom lip, brushing it gently before one of my fingers ran slowly down her tiny nose.

"You make me want to drop up everything for you." I admitted in a whisper. "You just have to say it and I'll do it." Her eyes got slightly bigger as she stared at me and I bent down slightly. "Please, say it."

"Niall..." she murmured, making me shake my head.

"You said you loved me earlier, right?"

"That-That's not what I said." she just replied so low I barley heard.

"Do you love me?" I asked, ignoring her comment. We remained silent for a while and I breathed in deeply before repeating my question a bit louder. "Do you love me, Devie?"

"Yes. I do."

Her answer surprised me, making my heart throb all over my body. My vision got blurry and I blinked a few times until I could see her face again. Did I just imagine that or did it really happen? At first, I wanted to ask her to repeat just to be sure I was not dreaming, but I only shook my head, my lips parted. I was searching for the right words to tell her, something smart or sweet to answer, but nothing came to mind. I placed two fingers under her chin and moved it up very slowly.

I brought my head down until my lips reached hers and immediately, her eyes closed. I shut mine tight too before deepening the kiss and my heart skipped a beat when I felt her hands reach my chest. It was a weird feeling, her fingers running on me slowly because of the water, and I couldn't help but bring my hands to her body, too. I moved them over her breasts before reaching her shoulders and moving the straps of her bra down. We both had to go slowly, the water slowing our movements, but it didn't matter. I felt like it was even better this way.

One of her hands moved down my stomach and reach for my dick over my boxers, making me groan in her mouth. She only ran her hand up and down a few times on it and it made me so hard that I felt a bit dizzy.

"Did you ever have sex in a pool?" I asked in a whisper, bringing my hands to the side of her panties, slipping my fingers in and hooking them on the waist band.

"Mm, no, but I feel like I'm about to."

I smiled against her mouth and chuckled a bit, making her laugh too. I moved down a bit to her take off her panties, bringing them out of water and leaving them on the side of the pool. I felt her hands try to move my boxers down and I helped her before moving closer and kissing her again. Slowly, I brought my hand between her legs and she let out a curse word, making me smile more despite myself. It was amazing how fast we could turn each other on and I grabbed one of her legs, gripping my dick with my free hand. I pushed myself inside her slowly, feeling her walls throb around me, and I finally gripped her hair, kissing her slowly but deeply.

It felt so amazing to be inside her again, my body pressed on hers. I had missed the taste of her mouth and the feeling of her touch. My body was alive when she was near, so alive that I had no idea how long I would last. I started thrusting up slowly and gently, my grip tightening in her hair as my other hand moved between us to reach her clit.

"Oh my... god."

Her hands groped around as she tried to find something to grip to keep her balance but I just pushed her harder, pressing her between my body and the pool.

"You feel so good." I whispered, panting against her lips. "I love you so much."

I rubbed my nose gently against hers and she let her head fall back. I ran my open mouth until her neck, leaving small kisses before nibbling on her skin gently and when she let out a moan, I knew I was close.

"Devie..."

She brought her head up again and kissed me harder as I started fucking her faster. "Don't stop." she whispered, holding me close, our mouths pressed together and her hand behind my head. "Please, Niall."

I reached for the side of the pool to hold myself and started fucking her deeper, my forehead leaned against hers and my parted lips brushing on hers with every movement. I heard her whisper my name so softly and I started cumming, letting out a curse word under my breath. She started shaking against me but only whimpered low until her body relaxed. It took me about a minute before I opened my eyes again, panting slightly and I looked at her, her eyes fluttering open until they met mine.

"Do you do that with all your friends?" she asked, letting out a chuckle. "I mean you said we could be friends, and here we are."

"I meant it when I said it." I confessed in a murmur. "But then, you said you loved me, and it changed everything."

She didn't answer and I just kissed her lips gently again before reaching for my boxers and pulling them up. I watched her take her panties back and putting them on without coming out of the pool.

"I think we should leave."

"Yea me too, if we get caught it's gonna be bad!"

I put both my hands on the side of the pool, pulling me out with a swing and when I turned back to her, she was sending me a smile, pressing her lips together. She finally turned around and reached for the stairs, getting out of the pool slowly. I stared at her too but when she shivered, I realized that I was cold too.

"We forgot towels." I pointed out uselessly as she nodded. "There must be some in a closet near." I added, grabbing my clothes and the keys I had stolen.

She did the same and followed me out slowly, trying not to make any sound. I locked the door again and we walked to the nearest hall. I smiled when I saw a closet and tried a few keys before finding one that worked. She rushed inside and I followed her but when the door closed behind us, I felt my heart jump in my chest.

"Oh shit."

I turned around, running my fingertips on the door, trying to find the knob again and when I tried to turn it, It confirmed what I feared. It was locked.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Devie. I think I just locked us here."

She remained silence for a while but I knew her heart was beating fast because mine was too. "Wait, you got the keys, just unlock it!"

"Uhm, the keys are already in the lock but on the other side of the door."

"Uh-oh."

I blinked a few times, getting slowly used to the darkness, and my eyes followed her shadow as she moved a bit farther. It took only a few seconds before a light appeared and I blinked again, blinded by it. She finally handed me a towel and placed her phone on a shelf to illuminate the room the best she could. I couldn't help but stare at her when she took her wet bra off before running the towel on her breasts. I knew we just had sex but I loved looking at her and when she took her panties off too, I held my breath. I finally took my boxers off and did the same before putting my dry clothes on, going commando. She did the same and let out a sigh taking a step back and grabbing her phone again.

I watched her type something and finally looked up at me with a shrug.

"I messaged Louis, Lewis, Daxia and even Noah. Someone will see this and come help us. I mean, hopefully." she shrugged before the room became dark again.

We ended up sitting down on the floor in silence. I leaned my back on the wall and brought my knees up as I felt her hands on my legs. She moved between them and leaned her back against my chest, making me smile immediately. I moved my face down, feeling her hair tickle my nose and chin and left a few gentle kisses on her neck. Her skin was soft against my lips and I even felt goosebumps appear on it.

"You know we could be stuck here for a while." she added with a chuckle. "I mean, I'm getting used to it now. I don't know if it's a curse or something."

"Seems more like good luck to me." I argued, my lips curling on the left. "There's not one time we were stuck somewhere that was bad."

She leaned her head against me. "Mm, you're right." We both started laughing together and I felt her shake her head as it rubbed against my chest. "Lewis and Louis are gonna tease us with this for years."

"Oh god, I know. Especially if they're the ones saving us." I agreed, chuckling again. "It'll be so bad."

I felt her hands caress my thighs very slowly, moving up to my knees and then back down. Her touch felt so good it made my heart twist in my chest and I closed my eyes, trying to focus on every little movements of her hands and fingers. It made a shiver run up my spine and I held my breath.

"How's your claustrophobia?" she asked in a whisper, making me shrug a shoulder.

"Tolerable for now."

It was true. In fact, I felt extremely relaxed and I was not sure why. Perhaps it was a mix of my post orgasm feeling and the high I felt for hearing her say she loved me, and it made me want to hear it again. It was still hard to believe and somehow, I was scared she'd take her words back, or that something would just blow up in my face.

"Do you love me?" I breathed near her ear, making her chuckle low.

"I answered that earlier."

"Say it."

It took a few minutes but her voice came like a melody to my ears with just the right notes to make my heart flutter.

"I love you, Niall Horan."

“It’s not like Kirishima had come all this way to U.A. to immediately break the promise he made to himself upon arrival.

It’s just that Bakugou is as feral as they come, and the moment Kirishima recognizes it’s fear he felt crawling up his spine that day, he makes it his personal mission to face it head-on until it’s gone.”

(Or: Being friends with Bakugou Katsuki is anything but a linear experience. Kirishima Eijirou would have it no other way.)

Bakugou is staring.

Eyes on the page, Kirishima tries to focus on the function he’s been struggling to get for fifteen minutes now. Something about tangents and right angles? No, cotangents, which is different from a non-cotangent tangent because–

Bakugou has stopped writing a while ago, the fabric-covered pen resting loosely in his hand, his head propped up on a fist.

–the cosine does… something with the sine of X. Division? Maybe? X pops up in a bunch of places, actually, and Kirishima longs for the days math still featured numbers and not whatever nonsense this cos-sin-tan stuff is–

Bakugou is staring right at him, has been for ages now and Kirishima can’t help it. He looks up, only to catch Bakugou looking away, and huffs a nervous chuckle.

“Bro, c’mon. What’s up? Is there something on my face ‘cause you’ve been–”

“It’s black.” There’s a pensive twist to Bakugou’s brow. He breezes through the part of the problem Kirishima’s stuck on like it’s nothing, scribbled down in permanent ink like the monster he is. “Your natural haircolor. It’s black, right?”

“Uh, yeah?”

Kirishima picks his head up from where he’s slumped across Bakugou’s desk, the bean bag he’s sitting on shifting under his butt. Since when does Bakugou care about his hair? It hasn’t been black for over a year, anyways, so what does that have to do with…

“Wait, why do you–”

Bakugou’s eyes wander back to him, landing on Kirishima’s hair for barely a second but it’s enough. With a mortified noise, Kirishima slaps both his hands over his forehead – or more specifically, his roots.

Because Kirishima completely forgot he’s overdue on a redye for a good week and styled his hair as he usually does: gel evenly spread into carefully towel-dried strands, quirk on until it dries, done. He hadn’t looked into a mirror before heading to class or he would’ve seen his tips straying from cherry red to berry pink.

And that jet-black line where it’s growing back out. The roots that are the bane of Kirishima’s existence and that Bakugou saw.

Kirishima groans, curling into himself until his head hits wood with a dull donk. “How bad is it? Don’t spare me, bro, I need to know.”

That rhymes, the part of his brain not burning in the hellfire of shame chimes in. Kirishima firmly tells it to shut up.

“Your hair?”, Bakugou asks from an unknown realm beyond the bit of desk Kirishima’s staring at, a beat late. Probably to treat him to a glare he can’t see.

Kirishima rubs his forehead across his math homework in a miserable nod.

“It’s not more or less shitty than usual, Shitty Hair.” Bakugou scoffs. “What’s the big deal?”

“Oh, nothing”, Kirishima shrugs, his voice a fake-cheerful mumble, “Just that I’ve been walking around like this all day. A whole ass day. Kill me, now.”

“Nah. Wasn’t the idea to ‘die like a man in chivalrous battle’?”

Kirishima shoots him a dirty look. Bakugou doesn’t even bat an eye; he flashes his teeth in a bright smile and knocks his fists against each other, whispering “manly” under his breath and okay, why does Bakugou have to be good at everything, including impersonating Kirishima?

“I hate you”, grumbles Kirishima. Bakugou breaks character to cackle, only stopping after Kirishima balls up his pitiful attempt at math to throw it at his head. Bull’s eye, right on the forehead.

“Oi! That’s your homework, moron.”

“You started it”, Kirishima points at him with his pencil. His notepad is pulled closer with a deep, long sigh. “Now I gotta do this stuff again and stress about my hair. Amazing.”

Ah, the God-help-me eyeroll. It’s been a while. “Just go fucking dye it and come back if it bothers you so much. Can’t be that hard.”

“Says the blond guy”, Kirishima huffs. “Dude, do you even know how long getting rid of this” – a gesture to his roots – “takes? Black hair is a pain to bleach. Literally.”

Bakugou considers his hair with a frown. “…How long are we talking here? Like, an hour?”

A laugh, louder than Kirishima intends. “Try three. Sometimes more, it depends.”

“Three hours?!”

“Or more.”

A little smug, Kirishima watches disbelief bloom on Bakugou’s face. When it comes to this, destroying the innocence of the uninitiated is the only joy he’s got. There’s really nothing fun about sitting through those hours every six weeks, give or take – just plain, boring routine. At least he isn’t anxious about making mistakes anymore, not like his first few times.

It’s definitely worth it, though. Kirishima loves his red hair.

“And it, what. It hurts?”

Bakugou is still processing it seems, a hand going to his own hair. (It looks so soft, that even light color Kirishima has envied since the beginning of time. Such a nice base for any type of dye, especially bright ones or pastels.)

Kirishima scrunches his nose. “The developer does, yeah. Anything over 9% makes your scalp burn like crazy so I stick to 9% and do multiple rounds. I can’t go light enough for the red I want, otherwise.”

“And then the dye?”

“Then you dye it, yeah. Roots first, then the lengths in small strands, let it sit for twenty more minutes or so, rinse it out and then you’re done.”

It’s weird to explain things that have become totally obvious to him step by step, but Bakugou looks strangely fascinated by what he’s hearing. He does likes things to be more complicated than simple in basically any regard, Kirishima muses with a private snicker. Perhaps it’s not that surprising, after all.

“I use pure red on everything but you can mix colors, too, there’s a whole science behind that. And if you decide ‘Hey, I haven’t suffered enough!’, you can do individual highlights as well. But that’s a production all in itself! Ask Kami, he does some wild things to get that lightning bolt just right.”

Bakugou slowly shakes his head. “You people are crazy. That can’t be worth it.” He squints at Kirishima, hums to himself and starts nodding, instead. Vaguely terrified of what’s brewing in that brain of his, Kirishima waits for him to finish thinking.

“Let’s do it.”

There it is, a suitably terrible idea. Also: What?

“Color or highlights?” Kirishima sputters. “Wait, you or me? Bro, I can live with my own mistakes but dyeing your hair is too much pressure. Like, I’ll do it if you really want me to but, um–”

“Color. And you, obviously. Who of us is freaking out about hair, huh? Sure as fuck ain’t me.”

I’m not freaking out about it, Kirishima wants to say. Okay, he had been freaking out a little. Maybe. Not anymore, not with the mental image of Bakugou with Riot-red hair sort of making his braincells implode.

It’s impossible to imagine. Kirishima tries to anyways, fails, shakes his head. Focus!

“But…”

He draws a blank. Actually, Bakugou helping him with his hair does sound kind of fun. Until his patience inevitably runs out and he explodes the pot of dye, or something. Which could be hilarious, too.

“…Homework?”

(Not that he particularly wants to go back to puzzling over non-tangent cotangents – Ectoplasm always seems to know when he didn’t do the thing, though, and Kirishima hates disappointing his teachers more than he does the variable X.)

Bakugou sparks off in his direction. “We got three hours. 'nuff said.” He snatches up the math book they were sharing, Kirishima’s notepad and even the pencil out of his hand, and is out the room before Kirishima has fully registered they’re doing this.

“Shitty Hair!”

Kirishima jumps to his feet.

“Coming!”

“This is so damn messy. How’s your bathroom not stained to hell already?”

Coming up on their third round over his bathroom sink, Kirishima feels little sleepy as he blinks up at Bakugou. That expression of intense concentration hasn’t budged all three rounds, Bakugou’s hands steady yet gentle where they’re starting to dab red dye over freshly bleached roots.

There’s a dot of crimson on his cheek already. After forcing gloves on Bakugou and explaining to him how red pigment is the hardest to wash out – on clothes, skin, hair, wherever it lands – Kirishima isn’t inclined to point it out to him just yet.

“I asked admin about it. They said everything in our rooms is practically indestructible, including the sinks.”

“Huh.”

“Yeah, right? They thought of everything, it seems.”

Bakugou continues. Kirishima dozes.

“Your hair is dry as fuck, by the way.”

Kirishima shrugs with his eyes closed, following the nudge to turn his head so Bakugou can get to the back. This is so much more comfortable than doing it by himself.

“Can’t be helped, man. The dye by itself is fine, actually, it’s the bleach that’s causes most of the damage. Oh well, with the gel it’s hard as concrete, anyways.”

“Mhmm. You’ll go bald by the time we’re outta here.”

“Hey!”

“Bald Hero: Red Riot”, Bakugou muses out loud, easily evading the kick Kirishima blindly aims at his shin. “Stop it, you’re gonna fuck up my hard work here.”

He’s smiling though, Kirishima can tell. It’s all in his voice, roughness replaced by warmth when it’s the two of them in Kirishima’s tiny bathroom.

“Stop dissing my hair, then. Besides, I know your secret.”

This Kirishima wants to see. He opens one eye and yup, Bakugou’s brows are doing the thing where they twitch and pull together. Not exactly a frown, more caught off guard than anything. Bakugou’s lips press shut, stubbornly silent as he brushes dye on every inch of Kirishima's hair.

Then: “I’m done. What am I s’posed to do with this shit?”

Kirishima glances at the pot Bakugou holds out to him. There’s still some of the thick liquid left.

“Just pour it on top. Can’t hurt and it’s better than throwing it away.”

Bakugou does exactly that. He tosses the empty pot and the thoroughly stained brush into the sink. Kirishima helps him wrap his hair in cellophane and a towel to reduce the possible mess, relocating to the closed lid of his toilet so Bakugou can take off the gloves and wash his hands.

“Okay, I’ll fucking bite. What secret?”

Lingering on the tension between them, Kirishima grins with all the confidence in the world. “That you like my hair.”

Bakugou barks a laugh. “After I went all Van Gogh on it? You better believe it’s good.”

“Nope, I mean before that”, Kirishima challenges.

“Proof?”, Bakugou shoots back without hesitation.

“Oh, I can give you proof.” Kirishima’s arms cross over the ratty shirt he always wears for this, its fabric dotted and streaked in interlacing shades of red. “One, it’s the first thing you noticed about me, hence ‘Shitty Hair’. Two, you were distracted by my roots growing in so you pay attention to how it looks–”

“I don’t–”

“–and three, you just spent hours dyeing it for me.”

Bakugou’s mouth snaps shut. He growls in his throat, grabbing an additional towel and drying his hands. Kirishima wasn’t aware those are actions that can be done aggressively but hey, he’s learning something new every day.

“Maybe”, Bakugou finally concedes. The towel is thrown in Kirishima’s face when all he does is smile. “Shut up.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Bakugou’s cheeks are dusted pink. Still, Kirishima shows the guy some mercy: Bakugou spent all afternoon fixing both his hair and his math homework, after all.

“Hey, Baku?”

“… What?”

“Thanks, man. You’re a good friend, you know that?”

Somehow, that makes Bakugou look even more flustered. “Whatever, Shitty Hair.”

Because Bakugou is Bakugou, namely a man who doesn’t know when or how to quit, he sticks around until Kirishima can rinse out the dye. He emerges from the shower feeling fully restored, a towel wrapped around his waist and his shirt draped over his shoulder.

“And that’s how you do it.”

Bakugou throws him a look from his sprawl on Kirishima’s bed, manga in hand. His gaze flicks to his hair immediately; his lips twist upwards, obviously satisfied.

“Told ya, it ain’t hard.”

Kirishima chuckles, shakes his head. “You’re so full of shit, dude.”

Now that the hair situation is under control for a few weeks, he realizes how hungry he is. The evening has barely begun, too, which means there’s time for a movie before Bakugou’s ridiculous sleep schedule comes a-knocking, either taking him out or making him cranky. Each scenario has about a fifty-fifty chance of happening.

“Hey, you wanna–”

Out of nowhere, his door bursts open to reveal one Kaminari Denki, out of breath and clutching a very familiar book to his chest.

“Kiri! Please tell me you guys figured out the–”

His eyes fall first on the splattered shirt on Kirishima’s shoulder, the trails of watery red dripping from his hair to his naked chest – and then on Bakugou, hands stained a faint red despite the gloves, that smear of color on his cheek Kirishima forgot to tell him about still very much there.

“Is that blood? What happened? Oh my–” Kaminari gasps. “Did you kill somebody?! Oh fuck, we have to hide the bo–”

“Kami”, Kirishima tries between bouts of laughter, “No, what the hell!”

A familiar cackle behind him does absolutely nothing to help their case.

hi! could you do 6 and 7 from the christmas prompts with byeongkwan from ace? thanks so much!

i’m so sorry this took so long!! both of us admins are in uni and just recently started our christmas break but still have a lot of work to do but i’m happy i could finally finish this !! i really hope you like this! also (and this applies for anyone who may read this!) our requests are still open so feel free to request again! the groups we write for are in our bio and here are some prompt lists that can help you come up with a request! thank you so much for requesting !!6.: “It’s snowing!”7.: “You look even more beautiful covered in snow.”

The words from the people walking past you as you made your way to the place where you were supposed to meet Byeongkwan were muffled by the thoughts inside your head. You were going to do some last-minute gift shopping with him for the little secret santa game you had organised in your group of friends. The idea for the game had been his, and after telling you that you would be Sehyoon’s secret santa and you couldn’t come up with many ideas for his gift, he offered to meet with you so that he could help you shop for a present for him and you could help him with his.

When you got to the spot you had agreed to meet up, a fountain decorating the central square of a big shopping centre, you looked around to see if he was there already, but took out your phone to text him when you couldn’t find him in the crowd of friends and couples hanging out in that spot at first glance.

Just as you were going to type in the password to unlock your phone, a notification popped up with a new text from none other than the guy in question. You smiled as his name popped up followed by the message that read “Turn around”. You did as he said and in that exact moment, the fountain that was programmed to alternate between pumping water up and stopping for a few seconds on loop ceased raising the water just in time for you to see Byeongkwan just standing behind it, his phone in his hand that was waving at you and mirroring your soft smile as he looked at you.

He walked towards you and brought you in for a hug once he was in front of you. His embrace was warm in contrast to the cold air surrounding you, and it took you all your effort not to stop him from pulling away. As he did, he moved his hands down your arms and grasped your hands in his, as if he also didn’t want to pull away completely and get away from the warmth of your touch. At that moment where it was only you and him and the seconds of hugging and holding hands felt like they lasted a mere instant, you truly felt the realisation hit you about how this would be the first time you and Byeongkwan would hang out together by yourselves ever since you had realised your feelings for him.

You didn’t let the nervousness overcome you and thanked the cold weather for making the blush on your cheeks go unnoticed as if it was just the effect of the low temperatures, and somehow your hands didn’t shake in the slightest not even as he let go of one of them but still kept holding the other one as he began walking towards the shops.

—”It’s the first time we hang out and you arrive so early.” —Byeongkwan teased, and you quickly defended yourself.

—”I’m always on time! The only times I’ve ever been late were because I had to wait for Chan.” —Byeongkwan chuckled, still not giving up and this time leaving you with nothing to say for longer than you’d have wanted to.

—”I’m not saying you’re usually late, but we were going to meet at 6.30 and it’s not even 6.15 yet.” —

You didn’t even look at him, but from the corner of your eyes you saw he was looking at you, which ruined slightly the composure you had been keeping. What were you supposed to say? You couldn’t just admit you had been thinking so much about seeing him that you got ready early enough to have to wait almost an hour before leaving your house to meet him, and still arrived earlier than you planned. At the lack of an excuse for yourself, you quickly threw the question back at him.

—”What about you? You’re early too.” —Finally, you made eye contact with him again and he chuckled before looking away and to the front.

—”I just really wanted to see you.” —He said naturally. And perhaps because you were suddenly so focused on the red color adorning your cheeks, for a second you wonder if the reddish hue on his was also caused the same kind of feelings making your heart beat faster.

Since when was Byeongkwan so confident? You asked yourself as he changed the topic and you two got into a new conversation without bringing up the previous one again. It was true that you had never seen how he acted around people he liked so you didn’t want to ponder over the possibility of him liking you back. He was someone very affectionate with his friends and you also weren’t new to this kind of flirty comments since one of your friends, Jun, liked to throw them at you once in a while jokingly and sometimes you’d even talk back. But it was different because it was Byeongkwan. It was different because he was the person you liked. It was so different that, after thinking that it could just be something completely platonic, you started scolding yourself in your head for overreacting even if no one other than you had noticed.

You two had walked into an art shop after deciding to look for a present for Sehyoon there. He liked making art and trying new things with it, so Byeongkwan suggested the idea of buying him an art supply that he still didn’t have.

—”What about watercolors?” —You asked him as you stood together in front of an aisle filled with said art supply. All the different colors were organised so perfectly that you wanted to stand there forever. Until you noticed that someone had switched one of the tubes of green watercolor with a blue one -hopefully not on purpose- and you let go of Byeongkwan’s hand to put both tubes back in their place and as if you had just finished a hard task, you smiled proudly and put your hands on your hips.— “Now it’s perfect.” —

Byeongkwan let out a short laugh and reached towards one of the pink tubes, exchanging it for an orange one, and you gasped before reaching to put both things in their spot. After you were done, he did it again, and at one point it almost became a childish fight between the two of you that stopped when Byeongkwan stopped you from grabbing one of the supplies he had moved by reaching for your hands again and holding it tight, making it clear that he wouldn’t let go. As he laced his fingers with yours, you accepted defeat and let your hand fall back to your side, still holding Byeongkwan’s.

—”Let’s buy one of the full palettes over there and some brushes.” —Byeongkwan said, and you nodded and walked away from that aisle with him. You wanted to laugh at yourself for thinking that sure, seeing all the colors organised was perfect, but the feeling of your hand intertwined wth Byeongkwan’s was even more perfect.

You did as he had suggested and after paying, he carried the small bag and walked out of the shop with you, both of you reaching for each other’s hand again almost instinctively after you had to let go to take out your wallet and pay. Once you were out, you glanced at the bag he was holding with your gift for Sehyoon and then at him.

—”I almost feel kind of bad. Because I couldn’t come up with something for Sehyoon myself.” —

Byeongkwan looked at you with curiosity filling his eyes, clearly showing that he didn’t understand why you would feel bad about it. For you, the reason was pretty obvious. Wouldn’t it feel like a gift from Byeongkwan instead of yours? The only thing you had provided with was the money for it. When you told him that, his view on it didn’t seem to change.

—”So? It is a gift that you bought for him and that you want to give to him. You wanted to give him something and I just helped by giving you an idea. The gift is yours and you’re the one who got it for him.” —He paused for a second, and then continued.— “Besides, I live with him and he’s my best friend. That’s why the idea came so easy to me.” —

You nodded, your thoughts drifting away from the topic again after his words. Sehyoon was his bestfriend, and he was Sehyoon’s. Even though your group of friends was already very close, they were so close you were almost jealous of it and wished to have a friendship as strong and true as theirs. Without even realising, you wondered out loud.

—”What about me?” —You asked, and stopped dead in your tracks after the words came of your mouth and realised what you had said. The question was so ambiguous that Byeongkwan’s gaze was filled with confusion again at your words, but somehow you felt that he probably knew exactly what you meant but just wanted to make sure as he threw another question at you.

—”You?” —

Deciding that it would be even more awkward to fix your mistake with a stupid excuse or ignoring it, you decided to be honest.

—”Am I your best friend too?” —In your mind, once again you scolded yourself, this time feeling selfish for wishing that he wouldn’t say yes. Because you were already close friends, and you didn’t want just that anymore. You didn’t want to be the only person whose heart was suddenly overwhelmed and drowning in those uncontrollable feelings.

—”Of course.” —He said, and you stayed silent, your gaze still locked with his.

Slowly, the accelerated heartbeat went back to its usual pace and you let out the breath you were holding in through your nose.

Time seemed to have stopped until small snowflakes started slowly falling from the sky. Slowly like how you let go of his hand but kept that hand up with the palm facing up to see one of those snowflakes fall on it and just as slowly, disappear.

—”It’s… It’s snowing!” —You exclaimed. The first snow of the year came rather late, and you had mixed feelings after it didn’t meet the expectations you had for how it would feel to experience the first snow with the person you loved.

The snow started falling more rapidly and not really melting anymore when it landed, and as Byeongkwan grabbed your hand again just as a bigger snowflake was about to fall on it, your heart started beating slightly more rapidly too.

—”You look even more beautiful covered in snow.” —His words were spoken softly, to the point where they were kind of muffled by the louder ones coming from kids around you two who were overjoyed by the snow. Still, you heard them.

And although it still wasn’t enough to make sure that he said it in a way that wasn’t completely platonic, you couldn’t help but smile and giggle shily before mustering up the courage to compliment him back.

—”I could say the same about you.” —You responded, and he let out a happy chuckle too. He took a step closer towards you as his hand that wasn’t holding yours went up to cup your cheek. As if he had read your mind before, he spoke again.

—”You’re my best friend, too. But just that isn’t enough anymore.” —

Feeling too shy to keep the eye contact, you looked down, but his hand on your cheek moved to your chin and lifted your head again, forcing you to look at him and making the blush on your cheeks intensify as you saw his face even closer to yours.

Not like he had just read your mind, but more like he held in his heart the same feelings as you did, the two of you spoke up again.

—”I like you.” —

NIH Director Francis Collins To Step Down In 2021 After 12 Years

https://sciencespies.com/news/nih-director-francis-collins-to-step-down-in-2021-after-12-years/

NIH Director Francis Collins To Step Down In 2021 After 12 Years

It’s the end of an era. After 12 years at the helm, Francis Collins, MD, PhD, announced today that he will be stepping down as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by the end of the year. Here’s a tweet from the physician-scientist-leader-motorcycle-rider-rock-musician announcing his plans:

Whoa, this is a bit like hearing the end of the Beatles, ABBA, the Spice Girls, NSYNC, and One Direction runs, although Collins and the NIH are not breaking up. Far from it. He will be stepping down from his role as director but will continue to lead his research laboratory at the NIH. It’s just that with the longest ever term, Collins as director and the NIH have been like peanut butter-and-jelly or avocado and basically anything else. The two have long been associated together with each other.

In fact, no other Presidentially-appointed NIH Director has served for more than one Presidential administration, let alone three. His name is not Dr. Francis “The Rock” Collins. That nickname is kind of already taken. Nevertheless, Collins has been a rock before and through what has been a really rocky past several years for America.

Remember 2009? That was when America was still recovering from a major recession and far too many people wearing Crocs, not that the two were related. The world was also in the midst of another pandemic, the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic. Well, August 17, 2009 was when Collins first officially became the the 16th Director of the NIH, after President Barack Obama nominated him and the Senate soon confirmed him unanimously. Collins subsequently continued in the position through the rest of Obama’s two consecutive terms, President Donald Trump’s one term, and the first year of President Joe Biden’s presidency.

In a statement from the NIH, Collins related that “It has been an incredible privilege to lead this great agency for more than a decade. I love this agency and its people so deeply that the decision to step down was a difficult one, done in close counsel with my wife, Diane Baker, and my family. I am proud of all we’ve accomplished.”

He continued by saying, “I fundamentally believe, however, that no single person should serve in the position too long, and that it’s time to bring in a new scientist to lead the NIH into the future. I’m most grateful and proud of the NIH staff and the scientific community, whose extraordinary commitment to lifesaving research delivers hope to the American people and the world every day.” Note that Collins used the word “scientist” here. A scientist is who should be leading any scientific endeavor, initiative, or organization unless “messing up” is one of the goals. After all, you wouldn’t have a clam bake announcer who doesn’t have any football experience lead a football team, right?

Collins was already a rock star of a scientist prior to leading the NIH. He had been the bedrock of the then-super-ambitious goal of mapping the human genome. He had led the Human Genome Project and served as the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) from 1993 through 2008. That work rocked the world as knowing what parts of human DNA handled what body functions has led to many new discoveries along with potential ways of treating different diseases. He’s an elected members of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. In 2007 then-President George W. Bush presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As you can see, Collins’ appeal extended across both major political parties.

Over the past decade plus, Collins has launched a number of large biomedical initiatives. For example, there was the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, which supported researchers developing new technologies to better understand how the brain works and address problems such as Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and psychosis. Another example has been the All of Us Research Program, an ambitious project that has already gotten a million Americans to offer data on themselves to help researchers determine how different factors affect health and move more towards precision medicine. Precision medicine means better tailoring medical treatments and health care to different people. A third example has been the Accelerating Medicines Partnership, which has brought together public and private entities to accelerate the translation of initial scientific discoveries in labs into real products on the market.

Collins has steered NIH through some of the most tumultuous years that the scientific community has faced in recent memory. From 2017 through 2019, former President and current Mar-A-Lago resident Trump repeatedly proposed to Congress massive cuts in NIH funding and scientific research in general. Such cuts would have been a huge punch in the face to science in the U.S. and made America grate and far less than first in World. Fortunately, with Collins and others advocating for the NIH, Congress essentially said “oh, no you didn’t” and “WTH are you doing” to the Trump administration and ignored these proposed reductions. They chose instead to increase the NIH budget.

Then there has been that little thing called the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Ever since the early days of the pandemic, when toilet paper suddenly became the new gold and people learned that “flattening the curve” had nothing to do with body shaping, Collins worked to help put together major initiatives to help develop new ways of preventing and treating Covid-19. These included the:

Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV): a public-private partnership to accelerate development of new vaccines and treatments

Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostic (RADx) program: to catalyze the development of new Covid-19 tests,

Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities: to assist disadvantaged communities hit hardest hit by the pandemic

Researching COVID to Enhance Discoveries (RECOVER) Initiative: to address the growing problem of long Covid.

Throughout the pandemic, an anti-science sentiment has permeated many political and business leaders like a gigantic lingering fart. This has kept Collins and other physician scientists caught between a rock and a hard place, trying to tell everyone, “help us help you,” kind of like what the Tom Cruise character did in the movie Jerry Maguire. Through it all, Collins has remained focused on combating both the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the anti-science hogwash at the same time.

Most recently, Collins has been working with the White House to propose to Congress an innovative new agency, called Advanced Research Project Agency for Health (ARPA-H), that would be housed under NIH and aim to catalyze higher-risk, higher-reward biomedical and health research. As I described for Forbes previously, ARPA-H, if approved by Congress, could help get past some of the risk-averse, “fund more of the same stuff” tendencies that the current NIH peer-review process may continue to propagate.

Collins has been willing to rock the boat as well when it comes to doing something about many long-standing issues that have hampered the progression of science. One issue has been the structural racism that exists throughout the scientific community and has been holding back the work and advancement of many scientists of color. Another barrier that Collins has tried to tackle is sexism and sexual harassment. For example, back in 2019, Collins announced that he will no longer appear on any “manels,” as I covered for Forbes. The term “manels” may sound like a piece of furniture or a new cologne designed to drive you wild but are actually all-male, non-diverse panels that have been driving a lot of scientists wild in a bad way. A third barrier has been scientists and organizations hoarding data as if they were toilet paper and not sharing such information with the rest of the scientific community and general public.

Collins also rocks literally. He is an accomplished musician and formed a band originally called “The Directors,” which eventually became the “Affordable Rock ‘n’ Roll Act (ARRA),” and consists of various past and present NIH members. The band has made a number of appearances in different venues, including our 2018 D.C. Science Writers Association (DCSWA) Holiday Parties in Washington, D.C. As a member of the DCSWA Board and planning committee for the party, I can say the AARA was certainly “affordable” and really rocked the joint.

Through it all, Collins has brought a distinctly human face to running the NIH. Despite his many accomplishments and responsibilities, he’s remained very accessible to other scientists and the public. He’s reminded everyone that scientists can be highly effective and multi-talented leaders who can enact change across a wide range of sectors. In essence, Collins has reminded everyone that physician scientists can really, really rock.

all games under the cut

1st game! Ten Questions Tag Game

tagged by @aesterea

How messy is your writing process?

Not as messy as it should be, I think. I’ve always been a perfectionist and unlearning that when being creative (doing first drafts, etc) is HARD. So I can’t say it’s messy-messy, but I try to make it a little messier so I can move on with things xD

Do you plan/outline before you write?

Oh yeah, yeah I do. Sometimes it’s just a paragraph with the general gist of the thing, other times I just develop the story in my head, but I always do some level of planning/outlining before writing. I wouldn’t be able to do it any other way tbh.

Which OCs are dearest to your heart?

The four MCs from my nano novel. I love them, so much I have to stop myself from fixing everything in one go xD

Has your own writing ever made you cry?

Nope, not really. But it takes a lot for books in general to make me cry and it’s always, always when I do a reread. You’d think I was ready for the cry triggers? Well, THINK AGAIN.

How much of yourself do you think you put into your characters?

Probably more than some people would like? I try not to do self-insert, but we’re always bound to take inspiration from ourselves. As to avoid doing it all in an obvious and ridiculous way, I try to take bits of myself and put them in different characters. A habit, a taste, a crazy situation, etc.

What do you hope to achieve through writing?

To change the world~* Lol, to tell my stories, to make others dream with me. Why do we tell stories if not to change something about the world and make others dream?

How would you describe your style?

Still trying to figure that one out.

What works of writing have influenced your style the most?

Austen, Agatha Christie, LOTR, Shatter Me (Mafi’s writing is epic ok??), The Lunar Chronicles... Every book I’ve ready has influenced me in one way or another.

Do you have a “support team”? Who’s in it?

My fanfic readers? askflakj I don’t think I have a support team other than them tbh xD

Which OC would be your best friend in real life?

aaskhdajfls I don’t know. Maybe Jean and Maeve from my nano novel. But tbh, the four Roses being my friends? That’d be awesome, ok? I’d finally have my knit-tight group of friends :’)

My questions:

What’s the earliest story you remember writing?

Which do you prefer to write? Short stories of longer ones?

Do you think your writing is ready to be seen by the world?

Which OC would be the best company when writing and which would be the worst?

Do you have a favourite world you’d give anything to visit?

Any writing rituals? Special place, special time of the day, special medium to write a draft on, etc.

What’s your favourite genre to read AND to write?

Do you have friends that write too?

If you could have a writing cottage anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Favourite author and how have they inspired you/your writing.

yyyyYYYYYY'ALLLLL I had a freaking intensive dream about Rad Likes Robots and I kinda wanna cry???? ;;;;w;;;;

[[It’s a long ‘un this time too j f c;;;;]]

*snorts* I mean I've had that episode & all of its impossible-possibilities on my mind for days now lmfao so I suppose it was only a matter of time until I dreamt about it. But I never expected it to be anything like THIS omfg!! I'm not sure if this counts as a Prophecies from the Canon Radmond Universe one because like... there wasn't anything with me watching it from outside this time like I had with the others? This time it was Literally like my dream had pressed play on a new episode lmfao IT WAS SO INTENSE AAAAAAA BUT ANYWAYS:

Okay, so, it started with Rad all alone closing up the bodega, and it was like evening/twilight so getting pretty dark out already but he somehow still saw some movement over at Boxmore---3 shapes sneaking out of a side door and then booking it off down a nearby street, and Oh Boy Wasn’t That Suspicious. So Rad of course was like "oh jeez wth is going on here this Can't be good" so naturally he went to follow after them & got a little bit lost but eventually he did catch up enough to see them again & saw that it's---surprise-surprise---Darrell, Shannon, and Raymond.

But they didn't seem like they were doing anything awful---yet---just walking along and talking and teasing each other and talking about some kind of betting or something. Rad couldn't really hear them that well because he was keeping his distance so they wouldn’t notice him as he kept following, because even if they seemed okay for now he simply couldn't wrap his head around the thought that they could be up to anything that wasn’t Bad ((jeez Rad did u not learn ANYTHING from Mikayla?? ://)) so he kept following them to see where the heck they were headed so casually at this time of night and probably stop them if he had to, like a ~true hero~.

So after a while of unexciting following them down streets & mostly back alleyways they rounded another building & when Rad got to the corner he accidentally slammed right into them because they'd stopped & waited for him. They were all like glaring at him AND RAYMOND WAS ACTUALLY CARRYING A JETHRO THIS WHOLE TIME ((not in the baby carrier tho; I weep TuT)) and Darrell was just like, "alright LOSER, you've been stalking us for blocks, what gives?? Don't you know it's creepy to follow people??" and Rad was just like baffled like, "???? excuse ME but when I see a bunch of Boxmore bots it's never a good thing, so I was trying to see where y'all are headed. Care to enlighten me now that I’ve actually got you talking, save us both some time and get it over with before it starts?"

The bots all made a face & Shannon crossed her arms & snapped, "That's none of your business. Now leave us alone." and Rad was like "uh-huh, that's a totally believable argument. Wow, I never thought if it that way~! You're right, that's completely answered all of my questions, thank you~!" but of course that was super sarcastic and so Raymond was just like "We're not off to go do anything bad, if that's what you're worried about." And Rad was like, "Uh-huh. That's totally believable, too. Definitely not what bad guys say right before they go do something bad. *scoff* Do you really expect me to believe that the Boxmore Trio---err... q-quadrio? ((is that even a real word???? x,D))---isn't up to trouble? C'mon, what bank or store or warehouse ya gonna rob? What poor innocent victim ya gonna terrorize? What Evil Errands is Buttman having you run for him in the middle of the night????" ((even tho?? it was still kinda light outside so it wasn't THAT late??))

And Shannon & Darrell were like completely fed up already & totally ready to start throwing down but Raymond grabbed onto Shannon's shoulder ((bc he only had one arm bc of Jethro ;w;)) & he was like quiet & thoughtful for a moment before going, "Maybe we should just take him with us?" & the other two were like !!?!!?!????? (and so was Rad honestly x,D) but Raymond was just like, "Well clearly he's not just gonna take our word for it, so he'll just end up following us anyways if we leave him be, and I don't wanna get into a fight before we even get there, so..." He dug into the backpack that Darrell had been wearing this entire time & threw a dark blanket/cloak-thing at Rad & was like, "You want proof that we're not doing anything bad? Fine. Come see for yourself. But don't let anyone else see you; they're not gonna be as tolerant of a hero like you as we are."

And then they all turned and started walking again without another word so Rad had to scramble up off of the sidewalk & put the cloak on & start following them again & the whole time he was just thinking to himself like "???? so it's SOME KIND of bad guy meet-up then---still doesn't sound good you know!!" But he was actually really curious now and kinda secretly super grateful that they were actually letting him come along?? because honestly why should they but whatever he wasn’t going to argue.

So the siblings all went back to talking and completely ignoring Rad’s existence until they got to a seemingly random side door of a building & followed the steps down inside, and it was like... idk, a fight club, I guess???? x,D Like an underground wrestling/MMA type-thing meets those robot wars/battles??? Like the thing in BH6 yanno, but I know that it's a real life thing too lmao I just dunno what they're called x,D The thing where people make robots & then fight them?? lmfao you know what I mean.

So like, it was a bunch of different robots ranging all kinds of sizes and colors and builds all crowded around a ring cheering & stuff just having a great time while two other robots battled it out in the ring lmao. And like, because they're robots it was like, battling to the DEATH okay, like you only had a winner when the other robot was in pieces lmfao it was brutal and I freaking love it x,D

And Rad of course was just like "?????????? UMM??" bc what the heck is THIS, are these ALL a bunch of evil robots all crammed into this tiny space?????---but immediately the Boxmore bots got swept up in the energy & were all grinning & cheering & having a great time along with the rest of the crowd & Rad was just so bewildered & Confused. After a while Raymond leaned over & was like, "The real rounds are gonna start soon, so if you’re going to stay and watch then find yourself a good spot and don't let anyone find out who you are. And, hey, who knows, maybe you'll even enjoy yourself~?" And then they were gone & Rad was left alone in the crowd, but he did what he was told because he was So out of his element here but he was still so curious (and still a Bit suspicious tbh) that he definitely didn’t wanna leave, so he found a good spot & settled in just as the lights dimmed & an announcer voice came booming outta nowhere to welcome everyone to tonight’s tournament & announce that the fights were about to begin so all the robots that would be fighting needed to make sure they signed in to the roster/bracket ASAP so the night could begin.

And yeah basically it was just the robots all facing off & fighting each other x,D I think it had like different sectors/levels too, like so it could try to keep the unfairness to a minimum by not putting the simpler Jethro-like bots up against the more highly-advanced ones like Darrell/Shannon/Raymond but idk because it kinda just montaged at that point lmao, but in the flashes they always looked like pretty equally-skilled/developed opponents, so~ But yeah the announcer was like spouting off stuff about each robot & their creator when it was their turn to be introduced & Rad realized that there were a few other (both cloaked and non-cloaked) non-robots in the audience as well, presumably the villains whose robots were fighting tonight, & Rad was like sweating bullets because he was apparently surrounded by both evil robots and evil villains & he was super nervous about getting caught now. But then as the fights went on he kinda forgot to be nervous because he got really into it actually ((c'mon it's robot fights, of course it's interesting xD)) & he actually started really rooting for the Boxmore bots because they were the only ones he knew and he was like full-on cheering & stuff when they did well lmao, even tho Jethro went out like immediately and Darrell & Shannon only got in a couple of rounds before they got smashed out, & Rad ended up actually being kinda sad for their losses too.

But then Raymond ((of course *rolls my eyes So Hard at my predictable subconscious*)) was finally up to fight his first round and the announcer brought him in as "your reigning champion" and Rad was like "!!!!!!" and Raymond winked at him (it had to be at him, right, who else??, Rad thought) and then he just started wrecking his competition almost like it was nothing. Like he did still have to try & he was taunting & teasing & making bad puns the whole time just like he does when he fights at the Plaza, but he was totally just like blasting through all of his opponents & Rad was kinda like legitimately awestruck almost & evEN DID THE LITTLE "he's so... powerful..." THING LIKE HE DID WITH ENID I'M SOBBING........

And then it was down to the last two robots, which were of course Raymond and then AGH I don't remember the actual name my brain gave them but they were this really cool electric-blue robot that kinda looked like Cheshire from the original Teen Titans?? ((which now that I think about it is basically kinda what a more-humanoid Mikayla might look like if they had been yellow.... hmmm.... x,D)) and it's the Final Battle of the Night so u Know it's gonna be Good bc these are the two strongest bots in the whole place if they're the ones that made it to the final round & the crowd is so intense & Rad is Loving It.

So of course ((I'm just gonna call them Ches now lmfao screw it)) Ches was like, actually super good of course and was actually giving Raymond a real run for his money for probably the first time that night. It also didn’t help that he'd already fought however many other rounds & wasn't completely unscathed from those (but neither was Ches tho so it was still pretty even on that part I'd guess), so this fight was like REALLY Super Intense and Good! And there was a part where Ches had Raymond tackled down & was about to win & Rad was all worried like "No c'mon Raymond you can't lose after all this!!!!" But then ofc Raymond pulled it off in the last second & flipped it around on them & BOOM, Ches is now in a million pieces scattered throughout the air and the crowd goes wild.

But Rad's the one who jumped up and cheered the loudest, and Raymond could see him all happy and yelling and having such a great time out in the crowd, and Raymond gets this certain look on his face, kinda confused, for a second before it turns into a grin & he bows all dramatically a few times for his adoring public (and maybe some not-so-adoring sore losers too lmao) before the lights go up & the announcer guy was like welp that's the last of the fighters tonight so hope see everyone back again next time~!!

And Rad was like on an adrenaline high now & just so stoked because Raymond ACTUALLY WON THE WHOLE THING OMG that's so COOL & he found Raymond back up by the front door again with Darrell's backpack over his shoulder and a box of Jethro/Darrell/Shannon parts to take back to Boxmore. And he just smiled all smug as Rad started talking at him a mile a minute as they left the battle club, going on & on & on about how awesome this was and wtf how long has this been going on and OMG Raymond you were GREAT man wtf also umm REIGNING CHAMPION, HELLO??????

And Raymond just laughed like, "Yeah, I've basically been sweeping the competition ever since I first stepped foot in the ring a few months ago. It's kinda sad sometimes how easy it is, but that’s just the territory that comes with being the best~ Every now and then I get a real challenge or two towards the end, like Ches tonight, and those really are a lot more fun than just wrecking through the unchallenging opponents~"

And Rad snorted at his haughty/stuck-up/smug tone & was like, "Well too bad all this secret practice and winning doesn't seem to be helping you guys in trying to defeat us at the Plaza, huh?" & he was smiling & his eyes were all glittery & he was really just half-teasing, but Raymond only kinda shrugged and adjusted the box of smashed robo-parts in his arms.

"Well, it is almost a completely different scenario. When we're out here fighting you guys, it's a whole different ballgame than when we're battling each other back there in the ring. It just a bunch of robots in there, you know?"

And he looked at Rad pointedly at that ((bc Rad called at least Jethro simple/etc. back in Jethro's All Yours but how did Raymond know about that huh????)) and there was something about the way he said “robots” in such a dismissive tone when he was talking about all the amazing things Rad had just seen---talking about himself---that made Rad feel weird, & he furrowed his eyebrows, kinda a little offended on his behalf actually, & looked up at Raymond with these big, shiny, honest eyes and went, "Hey, don't say it like that. I like robots."

And it took a second for him to register what he said & he like flusteredly blushed a tiny bit & pulled the cloak tighter around his face & basically pouted to the fullest extent now as they kept walking. But Raymond (after a couple seconds of mild shock like he had done back when he saw Rad cheering for him in the ring) just kinda smiled in this certain knowing way, but didn't say anything else either. And then the last shot was just of their backs as they walked beside each other back towards the Plaza, and then the end card slapped up and it ended.

AND BASICALLY I LITERALLY WANNA CRY???????? WT-ACTUAL-F WAS T H A T, BRAIN???????????? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEE-HEEEE-HEEEeeeee becAUSE THIS EPISODE IS LITERALLY N E V E R GOING TO EXIST BUT I NEED IT LIKE AIR NOW?????????? F R I C K;;;;

#GOD this took forever to type up #BUT I!! AM!! YELLING!! SO!! HARD????????????????#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT WAS LITERALLY LIKE WATCHING A REAL EPISODE I WANNA D I E #Prophecies from the Canon!Radmond Universe #making that a new tag now because IF THIS IS GONNA KEEP UP THEN I'M GONNA NEED IT????#adventures in dreamland #OK KO #shut up McKinley #*edit: I messed up Ches's pronouns a couple times there smdh fixed it lol #Ches #(for origins reasons~)
