oh my gosh fellow animation student !! I love learning about other people's art school experience, if you'd be willing to share? I think the diversity of assignments and teaching styles and focuses is cool 🩷 love your art as well !!
Yeah I can share a bit ! I’ve really enjoyed the program so far, I think I’ve learned a lot and I’ve gotten the chance to use programs I wouldn’t have access to usually!
First semester I had 9 classes (I’m counting story lab + lecture as two separate ones) and it was honestly pretty difficult to keep up with the workload, especially because I was still finishing up zine work. I had so many assignments, there were many weeks I’d have something due everyday, sometimes multiple things in the same day, so time management was a big struggle and I ended up having to sacrifice the amount of drawing I did for fun and for socmed </3 I think that was the biggest bummer cause it meant I lost both what helped me relieve stress and something that made me happy :/
While the work was intense and time consuming, I really did enjoy what I was making for each class. My favourite classes were character design, storyboarding, and animation. I felt like they were the ones I did best in and I realized loved my animation teacher her classes were really fun and I laughed a lot lol. I also really enjoyed my life drawing class, I have a lot of respect for my teacher, he marked harshly but I learned so much under him and my life drawing skills have improved a lot since september. He also collects bones and brought them in and it was super cool. He told us all the stories of were he’d picked them up, like asking farmers or finding roadkill and cleaning them.
Overall in each class, I really appreciated the critique I’ve gotten and I feel like I’ve really improved! I actually dropped out of art school before and one of the main reasons was because I felt like I wasn’t really getting anything out of the program. My stuff was nowhere near perfect but I was one of the better students so teachers used my stuff as an example rather than see me as a student that also was there to learn. I hated that so I left, and I’m really happy I don’t feel that way in the program I’m in now!
What I will say though is one of the hardest lessons to learn is that you can’t go 100% on every single thing, it’s just straight up impossible unless you don’t take care of yourself and get no sleep. It sucks because you want to do your best and be amazing at everything, but an assignment that’s half assed is better than handing in nothing at all and also better than permanently hurting yourself because you push through the pain and don’t allow yourself any rest.
One of the things that sucked the most assignment wise was my bone portfolio for life drawing, I had so much planned out and I really wanted to do amazing, but I had to cut a lot out to get it done on time, and so the finished project was lacking a lot. I got a decent mark for it, but personally I know it could’ve been so much better, and I just have to live with the sacrifice I made so I could get all my work done on time lol
I don’t want to share too much more about the assignments I did, but I was really proud of my work in my character design class and also my last storyboard assignment, where we took part of a script and made new boards based on it. I got a lot of compliments from the teacher about my attention to detail with subtle and human actions. I’m happy cause that’s the kind of stuff I love portraying and love seeing in films haha.
One other thing is I was so close to failing layout, the last two assignments I left until the very end and almost didn’t get them in one time before teacher’s grades were due, and without them I would’ve failed the class. As it stands, I got over a 90 average so the two assignments made a big difference lmao.
Sorry this was so long lol

✦ Synopsis: You're a college student taking classes with a very strict lecturer- professor Shinazugawa. Because of an unfortunate even you got on his bad side so now you're trying everything to regain in his eyes. Well, you most certainely didn't expect that kind of attention.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was Thursday morning. You already submitted that stupid project, spending all of the Wednesday afternoon on it. Now, you were sitting beside the counter of a cafe where you worked one day of the week.
It was a small, yet busy place. Fine, wooden counters and yellow lights of the lamps brightening the cloudy day. The owner, Laura, was present today. She was honestly a golden lady and you were so grateful you found her. She gave you a job where you came only one day a week. That was very little. Yet, there were a lot of people like you, because the cafe was close to the campus. Many of the people working here were also students that came once a twice a week. It was a nice part time job.
Normally, you get a scholarship. Your parents cover the food. Unfortunately, you still had to have some money for your own expenses. That's why you found this job. It gives you little, but enough to pay for your things. Thursdays are day's off for you at college so it was pretty fortunate.
''Y/N, there's a customer!'' One of your coworkers informed you and you stormed to the counter, rush hours hit all of you.
''Welcome, what can I get for you today?'' You recited the well known formula, finishing the replenishing of the straws that you were just in the middle of.
''Doppio, I don't need sugar, thank you.'' You looked up at the customer and froze.
It was no one other than Professor Shinazugawa. You were stuck for a second in your spot but quickly proceeded with his order.
''Takeout?''
''No.''
Hitting the express you got stressed. He didn't order takeout which meant that he would be sitting here. You were dressed in a cutish apron and serving coffee. Somehow, you felt uneasy right now. On the other hand, he possibly still hasn't read your assignment, and seeing you, working on your day off showed that you were not a lazy ass.
Turning around with the coffee ready, you felt proud of your apron and your work. You started to look around for him, to take his order to the right table, but he was nowhere to be seen in the distance of the cafe. Then, you spotted him. He was sitting by the counter, not far from the serving place, checking something on his phone.
Taking the coffee to him, you placed it near the man.
''Your coffee Professor, Sir.'' What?
He looked at you with the same expression. Feeling kinda stupid for not knowing how to adress him, you wiggled your fingers and gave a goofy smile. Oh god, you didn't know how to make this situation any less idiotic.
Changing your expression from shocked to guilty to goofy, you finally waved a hand at it.
''Sorry, weird situation, nevermind.'' You spatted out quickly, seeing there was another customer by the counter and left him.
The white haired traced after you for a split second, before coming back to his phone. He was pretty surprised to see you in a place, he likes to come before work.
''Welcome, what can I get for you today?'' Looking at your next customer, you spotted it was the blonde from the previous days with a bunch of friends.
At first, you just realised, you recall the girl. When she gave you a look, a very certain look, you knew, her revenge time was now.
''Yes, I would like a double latte on soy milk with pumpkin spice, double cream, just make sure it's no more than one percent fat, some raspberry on top, a bit of caramel and maple sauce... on the other hand, wait, make the soy milk, yeast milk, that's better for my skin...'' Her order didn't end and she changed the products three times. In the middle, you brought a piece of paper and started to note it down. ''...one small spoon of brown, not white, brown sugar and the halloween edition design on top.''
Finally, she stopped. Looking down on your note you sighed, you must have missed something.
''Okay, so one double latte on yeast milk with pumpkin spice, double cream max one percent, caramel and maple sauce, raspberry, brown sugar and halloween design, is that correct?''
''I said soy milk and I changed the raspberry to blackberry.'' Her tone was highly critical. ''Why didn't you listen to me?''
Not wanting to make a scene, you changed the milk and fruit on your paper and nodded your head. Just when you were about to turn to make that crazy, disgusting order, the blonde spoke once again.
''Can you read it once more? I don't want to get my order wrong...'' She tapped her hand on the counter.
''One double latte on soy milk with pumpkin spice, double cream max one percent, caramel and maple sauce, blackberry, brown sugar and halloween design.''
''Mhm, I didn't order double cream, that's not healthy for me.'' Oh no bitch, you had it all written down. This situation looked like it was not going to end.
''I'm sorry, I'm sure you ordered double cream, I wrote it down and you didn't oppose it the first time I reread your order, miss.'' You smiled at her the best you could.
You didn't want to fight, you just wanted to get on with your work because not counting all of the blone's friends, there was a queue already.
''I know what I said.'' She standed firm, so you just changed the double cream to single and turned your back to proceed with the order.
''Can you reread it once more?'' Her voice was straight out of hell.
''Cassy, that's kinda... petty, stop, we're making a scene.'' One of her friends, a tall girl with dark skin and short, green hair poked 'Cassy'.
''Amelia, I just want my order done right. It's this time of the month and I'm having cravings, sorry guys if I'm hard to stand but you need to understand girls needs.'' She pointed at the group, Amelia rolling her eyes hard.
Suddenly Laura came through the staff door, eyed the long line and gave you a raised brow look. Cassy spotted her and looked at you with an even bigger grin.
''So, can you reread the order or will I be standing here for the next hour, don't you see everyone is busy?'' Before the blonde could properly triumf upon you, Laura came by your side.
''What's happening?'' She asked.
''One of your workers...'' Cassy wanted to start but Laura shushed her.
''I'm sorry miss, but I'm not asking you.''
You gave her a 'i love you' look and started.
''I'm afraid Miss here can't make her mind in a very long and specific order. I've tried to note it all down, but there are constant changes being made. Unfortunately, we can't come to a conclusion and Miss here is being... less and less respectful towards me.'' You threw it out at her.
''I understand.'' Laura turned towards the blonde with your paper in her hands. ''One double latte on soy milk with pumpkin spice, cream max one percent, caramel and maple sauce, blackberry, brown sugar and halloween design. This is the order that I'm sending, I will not accept any further changes due to the time you've taken Miss and the lack of respect you treat my workers with.''
You wanted to take the paper but Laura didn't give it back.
''Don't mind this one, I'll make it. Go back to the counter and we can talk for a moment when I'm back.'' You nodded, doing as she ordered.
Cassy was already standing in the back, not looking at the angry people in the line. When Laura came into action, most of them heard what she said and they were now mumbling under their breaths. Next in line came that 'Amelia' girl.
''One latte, brown sugar, takeout please.'' She gave you an apologetic look and you shrugged your shoulders.
After a few orders, Laura came back with the poor coffee that Cassy ordered.
''That will be $$$ Miss.'' Cassy's face grew even longer when she heard the price.
Oh, princes must have forgotten that all of the ingredients cost. When all of them paid, they left.
Soon, someone else came to change you, while you and Laura took a step back and started to talk.
''Was she really rude towards you? If it was only about a big order then I may be concerned but if she purposely made the order harder than you should just kick her out. We don't have time to deal with petty queens. It's better to have one customer like her angry and five different served, than fight her and anger everyone else in the line behind her.'' Your boss looked at you patiently.
''Sorry, I just always try to keep a client.'' You rubbed your temples. ''I won't do that next time, noted.''
''Okay... why was she so petty? Just out of blue?'' Laura was honestly curious.
''We attend the same classes, the other day I've kinda snickered behind her back because of a stupid thing she said and I think it was some sort of a revenge.''
''My god!'' The woman laughed. ''Sometimes I'm not sure if you're college students or kindergarten kids. Next time don't let her hear your snickers.''
''I know, I know.''
With that you went back to work, kinda happy that in the end, you were still the winner. You also totally forgot about the white haired man, sitting just next to the counter, listening to everything including your talk with Laura.
He thought you were the petty ass princes in the class. Now, he had to admit he was wrong from the beginning.

Perplexing Potions Ch. 2
Floyd doesn't like lectures. Luckily, you happen to know some creative ways to learn what you need to. Content Warning: None that I can think of Content Tags: Fluff, Slice of Life, Fun, Comfort, Gender Neutral MC, Reader Insert Fandom(s): Twisted Wonderland Chapter 1
Chapter 2 of 4: Oh The Things We'll Learn
"Floyd's in a good mood."
"Apparently, ___ was able to make potions class interesting."
Azul raises an eyebrow. "Make it.. interesting?"
Him and Jade are overlooking the Mostro Lounge. Floyd is happily helping out around the shop, though it won't be long before he gets bored of it. It's still more engaged than he's been in a while. For the last week, all he's been interested in helping with has been 'squeezing' debtors. Today though, he's burning his extra energy by taking orders. Jade and Azul are going over inventory reports and dish popularity statistics to ensure that they've got a good flow of supplies for the next week for the regular dishes. Jade, looking over a set of statistics for a noodle dish decides to elaborate;
"Yes, it appears Floyd didn't want to do his potions today. He was paired with ___, and through the course of their class, they were able to make it so interesting for him that it turned him from bored and antsy to engaged and delighted. He had quite a fun time."
Azul's surprised to hear this. Even him and Jade have a hard time getting Floyd to engage with things he's deemed as 'boring' or something he's decided he doesn't want to do. So much so that they tend to just give up unless it's something they genuinely deem that they need. And you're nowhere near Floyd's inner circle of friends.
"Hmm. Now that's interesting."
"I thought so."
Azul begins thinking through ways he could use this information. Was it lightning? Or could this be a repeated process of a pattern?
"Will you keep an eye on that?"
"Of course."
---
The next day in Potionology, you're going over your homework from the night before. Floyd comes and sits next to you and looks over your shoulder curiously. When he sees the homework from the night before, he swipes it from your grasp and holds it above his head, well outside of your grasp as he starts reading it. You glance up, following your papers to see Floyd reading them over.
"Whaddya think?"
"I think Shrimpy forgot about emulsification."
"Oh yeah, that's the advanced thing you were talking to me about yesterday, yeah? The thing Crewel hasn't taught us yet, but was really helpful for the assignment?"
"Yup! The last question's a trick. If you only talk about the stuff Crewel's taught you, you're gonna get bad marks. You gotta mention emulsification in the process."
You lightly scritch your scalp, scrunching up your face and you groan. Crewel was a tough teacher who believed in throwing people into the deep end without training them to see who can swim without his help. His teaching style didn't fit your learning style in the slightest. Floyd looks down to you and grins, putting your papers on the table. You immediately begin erasing a section under the last question and start re-filling it in. As you do, Floyd asks you a question that surprises you.
"You're not a real student, yeah? So why do you work so hard to get your assignments done if it doesn't matter?"
"Gimme a sec-" You finish writing the last of the explanation. He rests his head on the top of your head, leaning over your sitting form like a tall tree that had begun to melt, watching you write, waiting for you to be ready to answer. When you finish, you look up even though you can't turn your head up to see him. "I'm a half-student. My grades are shared with Grim. And he really wants to go to this school, and he really wants to do well, so I don't want his future to be affected by my grades. Also I think Crowley would cut off our dorm - And my financial assistance that covers food and clothes and such - If I wasn't keeping good grades."
Floyd slumps against you, frowning. "Ugh. That sounds stupid."
"I agree. But also, it's pretty cool to get to learn this stuff. My world's schools were really different. I mean, Potions is kinda like Chemistry, but you guys also have Chemistry, which is significantly different. Potionology can't exist without magic, which is truly amazing to me." You smile, looking over your paperwork again. Floyd looks down to read back through your paper again and he points to a spot on the page.
"You misspelled that word."
"Oh, thank you!" You erase it and pause. If that wasn't how you spelled that word, how were you supposed to spell it? Floyd seems to catch on that you don't know how to spell the word and he grins. This time he decides to wait to see if you can figure it out. You lightly write in the word, testing the spelling by looking at it, but it doesn't quite look right. He sees you do this and erase it and try again about three times before he hears you just quietly go ".. Uh, how do you spell that?"
Floyd laughs, releasing you from his slumping, sitting beside you. He gets a mischievous grin on his lips as he leans his head against his hand, which is supported on the table by his elbow, looking to you. "I could tell ya', for a priiiiice...~" His eyebrows dance. Seeing this display, you try to withhold a laugh, only for it to melt out of you quietly. Class has started.
"You're starting to sound like a certain Octopus."
"Yeah, 'cept I won't make ya' sign a contract or nothin'. And my deal's way more fun."
"What's your terms?"
"I'll tell ya' how to spell that word, and you pretend you're sick."
You raise an eyebrow at him. "I need to learn everything they're teaching today though. We're going over the colors that Love Potions can turn while boiling, and what it means."
"Love potions are so boooriiiiing"
"Really? I'd have thought they'd be the most interesting."
"Oh? Does Shrimpy wanna make someone fall in love~?" Floyd grins teasefully. When you smirk, shaking your head, he snickers.
"Nah, I just find it fascinating that there's an entire subclass of potions dedicated to trying to make one more attractive or interesting to someone else. Back where I come from, the concept of a 'love potion' was always considered cheap and unreal, but here it seems it's more similar to a boost in charisma that allows people to stand out. There's no 'automatic fake love', it's just, giving them a better shot at standing out."
"There is a potion that you can make that makes the other person think they love ya'." Floyd muses, resting his head against the desk. "But I'm so boooored. I don't wanna talk about it anymore."
You muse on this class. It's going to be a class of note-taking. If Floyd knows everything in it already, he's going to spend the entire class trying to distract you to entertain himself. You've seen more than half the class either get upset at him or get in trouble because of him during note-taking classes. You begin to wonder if this environment is against his learning style too. "How's this - I'll pretend I'm sick to getcha out of class if you promise to teach me about everything we're supposed to be learning in class today, and you tell me how to spell this word." You grin to Floyd, who perks up at the idea. Ooh, but teaching you about potions still sucks. He doesn't wanna talk to you about potions. Knowing you're open to it is interesting, though. He deflates as soon as he hears that he'd have to teach you about everything.
Which is when you get an idea. "I'll sweeten the pot. For everything you teach me about what the class is covering today, I'll teach you about one thing you wanna learn about."
Floyd perks up again. A wicked grin comes across his lips. It spreads until you can see his teeth. Were they always so sharp? It becomes so much easier to see them when you're in such close proximity to him. "Promise?"
"Promise."
"Okay, you're missing the second L in that word. It's after the 'ph'." You smile and fix the word on your paper. You look up to Crewel, who has had his back turned away for a while as he writes on the board. You raise your hand so when he turns back and calls on you, you start the dramatics.
"I.. I don't really feel all that good.. I'm kind of nauseous.."
Professor Crewel raises an eyebrow at you. You're not the kind of student to pretend you're sick. He sighs. "Take your lab partner and head to the nurse's." He looks to see who your lab partner is and visibly scowls. You slowly get up, meandering to the front. You set your homework on his desk and head out, Floyd happily following after you. Crewel almost wonders if Floyd did something to make you sick just to get out of class. He wouldn't put it past the troublesome eel. He decides to note whether this becomes a reoccurring pattern or not. He also decides that if it happens again, now that he knows you'll turn in your homework, he might be able to give Floyd an incentive to finish his classwork.
---
Floyd stretches, excited to finally be out of class. It's so stuffy in there. Carrying your books, you begin to wonder about where you could hold a study session. How can you make this study session engaging to Floyd? Maybe he needs to move around. It is rainier today, so his body must be aching from the water to move and be free. He slumps against you as you walk, entertaining himself with how funny it feels to drape his body against yours as you walk forward.
"Shrimpyyyyy I wanna playyyyy"
"Wanna play a game in the library?"
"Ooh, what kinda game?"
"I'm gonna have to make some markers for it, but it'll help me learn the potions while I'm teaching you about whatever it is you'd like to learn about."
Floyd grins big. There's some mischief behind that grin. "Okay.. ~"
You two walk to the library, where you set up some markers indicating the colors that potions can turn using your textbook as a guide. You write down all the possible meanings behind the color changes with references to the type of ingredients that would signal that meaning in a potion. Floyd repeatedly tries to mess with you to test your reactions. Touching your face which you just pretend to bite his finger, which makes him laugh because he didn't expect it. Putting his hands on the page to keep you from reading which causes you to silently threaten to lick his hand, which causes him to pull it away giving you the ability to read it, and makes him laugh because he also didn't expect that. He eventually yanks your book from your hands, to which you start the game.
"Alright Floyd, what's the third reason a love potion would turn pink?"
Floyd looks at your book and then to you. He glances off to the side, bored as he realizes you're in study mode.
"Do you have the question you wanna ask me yet?"
He remembers exactly what he wanted to do, and then he grins. "The third reason is that the love potion is too acidic, which happens when a love potion's acidic components raise the potion above the threshold of 2.8." You furiously scribble down everything he says as he begins hiding your book from you. He'd read the whole page thoroughly enough and had all the information in his head and was confident that he could remember the answers to the questions you might have. When you finish, you look up to him and grin.
"Okay, so what would you like to know in return?"
"I wanna know the inner-workings of magic trains."
"You get to ask about one component."
Floyd laughs when you don't even flinch at the mention of magical trains. You know nothing about magical trains! How are you going to even teach him about something you know nothing about?
"Oooh? Does Shrimpy know why Magic trains whistle even though they don't operate on steam?"
You grin, standing up. "No, but I'm gonna find out."
Floyd finds himself grinning too. He follows you to the transportation section of the library, where you search until you find a book on magical trains. He's genuinely curious if you'll be able to find the answer to his question. No one else has ever played this kind of game with him before. Most people would walk away or give up and tell him he made it unfair, but you're going out of your way to learn something completely unrelated to your area of study just to understand this segment of your potions class. This is significantly more fun than sitting in Crewel's potion class listening to him lecture about stuff he already knew.
You skim through the chapters to find a section on the components of the main locomotive, which is where you suspect the whistle would be located - And you're correct. It turns out that the reason there's a whistle is two parts;
- There's a manual whistle that allows the conductor to communicate with the world around the train. This one is distinctly low-toned, and will only be heard when the conductor is using it to signal.
- And there's a passive 'fake' whistle on many popular models that emulates the steam whistle that Floyd's referring to that was implemented to help passengers get used to the implementation of magic on the rails. This one is typically high-pitched and sounds similar to a screaming kettle. It is played at random intervals.
Giving Floyd the information, He claps his hands together with a laugh and doubles over, giddy. You did it! He demanded something WELL outside your area of understanding, and you found the answer!
He begins to wonder what else he can get you to 'teach' him.
You two go back and forth, Floyd teaching you about the different colors and their signifiers and the ingredients, and you running around the library to research any question that comes to his mind. You learn that he's got a very wide understanding of a lot of different topics. You suspect that he actually knows a lot of the answers to the questions that he's asking, but he's asking you because it's more fun as a game. But as you go on, he begins to become more genuinely enthralled with the answers you dig up, awed by your ability to learn things that seems to be news even to him. In the meanwhile, you eventually reach a point where you just shuffle all of the signifier and ingredient cards and then try to fix them from memory, ascribing them to the colors they belong to. Floyd tells you what you messed up and then you answer one of his questions.
This goes on for a while, to which an alarm on your phone goes off. You've reached the end of your period with Potionology, and it's time for you to go to lunch.
"Ooh, lunchtime!" You smile, beginning to clean up the 'game'. Floyd lays out over the table, groaning. Lunchtime for him means the Mostro Lounge. He'd much rather keep picking your brain and seeing what he can learn. And he only just realized it might be fun to ask questions about you and where you're from. You look around for your book, but you can't seem to find it. Floyd grins.
"Guess Shrimpy can't go to lunch. Gotta find your book, yeah?"
"Floyd, did you take my book?" You give him a small grin. He grins wider.
"Mayyyyybeeeeee?"
"Alright, I'll letcha get in one more question if you tell me where my book is."
"Nuh uh. That game's done." Floyd stands up, stretching. You think to how you can entertain him enough to get him to help you find your book.
"How's I do you a favor if you help me find my book?"
"What kind of favor?"
"What kind would you like?"
Floyd thinks on it. He's been having so much fun with your time today, he wants to keep talking. But he has to go to the Mostro Lounge. You always go to the cafeteria.
"You eat at the Mostro Lounge today."
You think through the prices in your head. The Mostro Lounge prides itself on being closely affordable to the cafeteria. It's a little more expensive, but it's not so bad that your lunch budget can't cover one day. "Hmm... Alright. but I can't go until I find my book."
Floyd grins and scoops up your book from one of the high shelves and starts walking, carrying it above his head so you can't steal it even if you wanted to. You follow after him and you two head to the lounge together.
---
"I couldn't seem to find Floyd today. He must have cut class again."
"Oh, I've found him. He's here at the lounge." Azul motions towards your table, where you're sitting with your lunch and your books, talking with Floyd, who is delighted to listen and share his own thoughts. Jade's surprised, visibly so.
"Hmm. An interesting development."
"Most definitely. It seems that Floyd convinced them to come here. They skipped class, and yet ___ still somehow roped him into studying potions with them for the duration of the class period. But I think they also researched magic grid systems and fruit trees and textiles? And an assortment of other strange topics?"
Jade is more and more curious about you as he sees his brother enthralled with his interactions with you. And as he learns that you're keeping him on-track with his studies. It sounds like instead of fighting his games, you lean into them and catch him off-guard. The novelty of that kind of interaction might keep Floyd excited for a while, but he wonders how long you can sustain it.
Still, he finds himself walking over to the table to greet you.
Floyd sees him approaching and grins, sliding over in the booth to make room for him. Jade stays standing, as he's on the clock, but warmly greets you both.
"Hello. I hear you're Floyd's new lab partner."
"Yeah, Floyd's really smart. He's also a really good teacher."
Floyd beams. "And Shrimpy here's great at fakin' it until they make it!" He laughs. Jade half expects you to be off-put by his brother's blunt teasing, but when you laugh too, and heartily at that, he finds himself slightly endeared to you. In some ways, you exhibit the same boisterous traits that he so loves in his brother. And it's so heartwarming to get to see his brother enjoy himself.
"Thank you for taking such good care of Floyd."
"Nah, I should be thanking Floyd for taking such good care of me. I learned more about potions than I was supposed to. Crewel was just gonna go over the first 3 colors today, and then he was gonna teach us the other three tomorrow, but Floyd here taught me all six. We went through all the details and made a game out of it. It was really fun, and I'll remember it all really well."
Floyd grins. "And ___ taught me all about magic trains and why they whistle, magic beans and what causes them to grow differently, and even magic paper and how they lace the magic into it! And so much more!"
"The paper one was actually really cool. We both actually didn't know much about that, so it was a cool journey we got to go on together."
Jade smiles. Whatever's happening here, he's happy. You seem really genuine, and it feels like a good study match. Not a lot of people can keep up with Floyd's whims. One of the reasons he's so well-versed in various trivia is because of Floyd. He'd caught on that delving into Floyd's hyper-focus of the day was useful for getting him engaged with studies, but you seem to do it in such a way that's so.. productive.
He begins to wonder if that could extend to his work ethic.
Either way, he's happy that things are going so well. In some ways, he's wondering if you'll bail the minute you hit a wall with Floyd. It's often a problem people run into with him, where things seem to be going well, and then he'll stone-wall them out of nowhere. Some people can't handle that, and get frustrated with him, because it can be hard to feel like you're locked out for no good reason. Or when it feels like he's bored of you. Will you be able to keep your energy and excitement up when you hit that wall? Or will you crash too?
Just how similar to his brother are you?

Stiff That You Love
Ushijima Wakatoshi (Timeskip!) x Female reader
Masterlist!!!
You never thought you'd see him again. You almost choked on the truffle pasta that you ordered in this café when a certain beautiful giant waved and made his way to you.
"Holy damn." You whispered underneath your breath as his strides made their way towards your table. You knew he was already a show stopper back then, but now???!
You were so sure everyone would drop dead at the sight of him.
"Hi." He greeted with his deep voice. "Do you still remember me?"
Surprise filled your expression at his question but you smiled politely and nodded your head. "How could I forget? How are you Ushijima?"
You swore you saw a glint of relief and excitement in his eyes but it immediately wavered as he motioned to the chair in front of you.
"May I?" He asked again, holding the back of the chair.
Is he really going to sit here with me?!
"Sure, of course." Your voice squeaked at the feeling of your heart bursting out of your chest. His greeting was enough to kick the air out of your lungs but a whole conversation?! You didn't know how long you would last in his ever- intimidating presence.
-
It was already the last year in college and you were so determined to graduate with latin honors. Every single minute of your life, you dedicated it to studies, friends and family. They were all that mattered. And so you stayed until the wee hours at certain café spots around the university or at the library inside the campus. You went to meet up with friends during the weekends only for a simple dinner or lunch. You called your family members every chance you get during free time. That was your life. And you were content.
But then this boy came in to the picture.
"You will be partnered together and I shall assign the pair. Make sure you finish the written output, video presentation, and oral defense at the end of the semester." Those were the words of your professor during one of your classes before yours and his name were called out together.
You swore it was fate. Romance was really not in the forefront of your mind but as they say, "You'll find it best when you're not looking".
AND MY GOD WERE YOU SO WRONG!
This man named Ushijima Wakatoshi who came out from nowhere, looking as good they come, had no ounce of romance nor funny bone in his muscular body. He was the most dense, most serious, most infuriating man you've ever met in your whole life!!! He was a whole perfectionist, always so blunt at his comments about the outputs that you showed him. He was also so strict with the deadlines, not considering that you had other classes than this that had much more weight and importance.
You were so close to giving up but...
"Y/n?" You knew that voice only belonged to the certain antagonist in your story right now.
Your hands trembled as you wiped the tears streaming down your face after your meeting together at the library.
"Ushijima, hey!" You pretended to be your usual chirpy self as you turned around to face him.
It was already late so the lights surrounding the university casted an unworldly glow on his face. He was always so breathtaking no matter where you put him but damn those looks! He was just as heartless.
"Are you alright?" He asked with a worried tone.
"I'm fine. I'll be going home now. See you next week." You excused yourself.
"Wait." His cold fingers caught your arm and that made you stop your tracks.
"Is there a problem, Wakatoshi?"
He bowed his head before slowly releasing you in his grip. "I wanted to apologize for my behavior."
"W-what?" You wanted to make sure if what your ears heard was right. He does not seem the type to apologize.
You heard another deep sigh as he looked at you. "I've always been told that I come off too much to others. I didn't realize it until recently when one of my friends told me."
"Oh, well..."
"I'll try to be better though. I'll be more careful from now on. And I'm really sorry if I ever hurt your feelings in the past." He said with all seriousness that you can't help but sigh and just nod.
"You can be really mean sometimes." You agreed and chuckled, letting a tear escape your eyes.
"You've been crying." He stated flatly as if he was reciting a trivia. "I'm still so sorry."
You giggled. "Yeah, I forgive you. Anyway, it's getting late, Wakatoshi. We have to head home."
"I'll walk you home." He said with a finality in his voice. You were again, surprised by his actions but just agreed because this was such a draining day.
And as you were nearing where you stayed, you were again surprised at how comforting his presence was.
--
You did find his presence after that night relaxing. He became more tactful and he started to insert jokes during your meetings which shocked you so much the first time that he felt a little offended. You became such close friends that his team mates in volleyball were again, shocked that he managed to get a friend outside the team. It was just a matter of getting used to, you thought to yourself. He's just so honest, mechanical, and straightforward to a fault and you got to master how to tell him off when needed. He also developed to trust you so whenever he needed advice, he would always go to you and trust your honest words.
Looking at him now, it made your heart warm at how far he'd come. It's amazing to have known him then. To have seen how he grew as an athlete, a student, and a person. He may still be a little stiff but that's just the Wakatoshi you've come to love.
"Soo..." He started while sitting back down again after claiming his coffee from the counter. "I am not disturbing you, am I?" He pointed at the laptop and papers next to you.
You laughed. "Not at all! I finished them anyway."
"How have you been then?" He asked. His elbows were resting on the table and his hands were holding on to the cup of coffee. The sight was a little funny considering his giant built was leaned onto a very small table.
You smiled gently. "I've been good! I got the job that I dreamed of having and I own some businesses too. Ho--"
"Your eyes sparkle the same way." He cut off.
"What?" You asked, surprised at his random comment.
"Your eyes..." He pointed out. "They sparkle the same way they did in college when you were talking about something you like."
"How did you notice that?" You laughed.
"I'm known to be observant." He smirked slightly, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Okay, Mr. Oh-So-Observant, how are your matches going? I've been tuning in since the first tournament and it looks like you're going to the semi- finals!" You cheered not hiding your pride and excitement for the country's national volleyball team. When you searched on how to watch the live games, you insisted that you were there to cheer for the country and definitely NOT to cheer and simp for a certain brown- haired, serious player. Definitely NOT!
"You've been watching our games?" He asked, eyes slightly widening at the thought of you cheering for him. What he didn't know was that you were always watching his games since college, not missing even one match. You were always there, crying at how proud you were of him. Also, crying at how much he could never be yours.
"Of course, I have, silly!" You chuckled and pointed at your laptop. "I've been watching here and you're just so amazing and strong!"
He suddenly paused at your statement, silently raising a brow at you and smiling softly.
"I- I meant that your whole team is amazing and strong." You clarified, a blush automatically painting the whole of your face and ears.
"Would you like to go tomorrow?" He blinked, setting down his cup on the wooden surface. "To the game, I mean?"
Your eyes widened at his offer. "Are you serious?!"
He chuckled at your reaction. "Of course! We're allowed to bring spectators for the games, I'll just give you the tickets."
"Wow, Ushijima, thank you so much! It's an honor!" You chimed excitedly, jumping a little on your chair.
"The honor's mine." He replied, grinning at you.
He already knew back then that you were one of a kind. No one ever really stayed and tried to understand his demeanor and personality but you did. You were so honest and kind and you always knew what to do or say to keep him at ease. You accepted him for who he was and he's so thankful to have met such a beautiful soul. Even when you were doing nothing, even when you're just sitting across this table from him, without you knowing, you already made up his entire exhausting day. Hell, you made up all those exhausting years of not seeing each other since you two graduated. He suddenly imagined if being with you would always be like this. So peaceful and just pure bliss...
"You've got to be shitting on me! Is that Ushiwaka?" The pair sitting next to the glass walls of the café was oblivious of the red- haired tower and group of men walking past the street. All of them were wearing coats and casual attires as they're planning to go for lunch at their favorite restaurant for a little reunion. The all powerful Shiratorizawa Volleyball Team, headed by Ushijima in high school, cowered like puppies at the name of their captain being mentioned.
"Where?!" Goshiki stopped and shielded himself from an invisible force. "He said he couldn't make it!"
"I guess our baby's growing up, look!" Tendou hummed and pointed at the two of you laughing and looking at each other with heart eyes. "I bet they don't know that they're shooting hearts at each other."
"I never thought he could smile like that." Semi whispered.
"Yeah well, he's been crushing on that girl since college." Tendou filled the silent wonder of the whole group. "That's why she looked familiar! He kept sending me photos of them together studying or something..."
"Studying, my ass!" Shirabu laughed as they continued staring and hiding behind a post at the same time.
They all burst out laughing and again Tendou chuckled. "No seriously, they were studying!"
"Yeah well, they look good together. I hope he'd have the balls to ask her out. Please god!" Goshiki put his hands together as if seriously praying.
"Bet you 10, 000 yen, we'd be attending his wedding two years from now." Semi challenged.
"Nah, I'll go with a year." Tendou offered.
The men casted their bets on how long you and Ushijima would get married. They knew their captain so well to be sure enough that he was serious with you. Safe to say, Semi won the bet.

can i request like shoto, bakugou, and midoriya meeting their girlfriend’s ex boyfriend. but like she’s still good friends with him. i wanna see some jealous bakugou 🤗 sorry if this doesn’t make sense ,:)
this is so fun omg
Big 3’s Reactions to Meeting Your Ex that You’re Still Friends With
Pairs: Midoriya x Reader, Bakugou x Reader, Todoroki x Reader
Warnings: swearing
Tumblr media
~Izuku Midoriya~
Midoriya loves going out. Going shopping with you, going to the movies with you, going to get food with you. He says that you already spend so much time at UA, so going out is fun.
You don’t mind. You just love spending time with him. He heard about this new ice cream place opening up just a few blocks away. You guys planned to walk their after school.
“I heard they have like cotton candy flavor. Which sounds kinda gross, but people have different tastes.” He blabbed the whole way there. He always sounded so anxious yet excited about everything. His voice is one of your favorite things around him.
You get to the building and hear a family voice, “Y/N? Oh my god- Y/N is that you?” You turn around and see him. Kai. You’re ex boyfriend from before you even went to UA.
You guys also dated a while, while you attended, but the distance became too much and it just didn’t work out. You remained friends because you had been friends for so long before that, and you wouldn’t let this ruin it.
You had told Kai about how you and Midoriya were planning to come here, but that’s all you did. You just told him. You didn’t invite him or anything.
“What are you doing here?” You ask confused. He claims he was just “passing by” but he lives nowhere near here. You’ve known him long enough to know when he was lying and he was.
Deku asks who he is. He seems more excited than he does worried tho. You explain to him that Kai is just a childhood friend who you still keep in touch with sometimes.
Kai wraps his arm around your shoulder, “And ex boyfriend. Yeah we had a thing. We were each others first loves.” He says giddily. You sigh and scoot away, causing his arms to drop.
You saw Midoriya’s face drop, but it quickly went back to a smile. He was faking it. “O-oh. That’s nice! And you guys still keep in touch? Wow that- that’s nice. How coincidental that you’re here too.” He squeaks out, hand scratching his neck.
You stand uncomfortably. Kai is just smiling and not giving a single care in the world about how awkward he just made things. “Come on! We’re here to get ice cream right!” He says, ignoring Midoriya but inviting him at the same time.
You stay back and try to tell Kai that you don’t want to. This was your special time with Midoriya. Midoriya widens his fake smile, “No! It’s fine. Let’s go. Y- you guys can uh- you can catch up! I don’t uh.. and I third wheeling or? We could all three go in.” You knew he didn’t want to. He was so uncomfortable, but he just didn’t want to dismiss your old childhood friend because he doesn’t want to make you sad.
You sigh as Kai grabs your arm and drags you into the shop. Midoriya following behind. You order your stuff and sit down at a table.
Midoriya tries to speak first but Kai overlaps him, “So you guys are dating? Weird. I never saw you to end up with the... you know- him, type” Midoriya laughed. Awkwardly.
“W- what’s the me type?” He tried to make it seem like he was joking, but you could tell he was genuinely curious and worried.
When you and Kai were dating, you would always talk about how you could never date a “nice guy” or a “good guy.” You didn’t use to want to be a hero. In reality though, Midoriya is your perfect match. You don’t want to be with guys who can’t take anything serious or are super selfish. You love that Midoriya wants to help people. He inspires you.
“Oh you know.. crybabies. ‘I wanna be a hero’ type beat.” Kai mocked. He squeezed your eyes tight. Why did he have to show up. Midoriya’s eyes dimmed, “Oh.... yeah. Haha.”
You looked at your phone and pretended to be shocked, “Oh! Wow would you look at that. Momo just texted me. Special hero training starting in 5 minutes. Gotta go. Come on Izuku.” He looked confused because he knew you didn’t have anything to do today, but complied without question.
You didn’t even say goodbye to Kai. You just left in a hurry.
The walk back was silent. His enthusiasm was gone. “Izuku. I’m so sorry about Kai. The whole crybaby thing was so unnecessary. I don’t know why he showed up. I’ll stop talking to him.” You said softly.
He half smiled, “No it’s okay. That’s your friend. I don’t wanna ruin your friendship. You’ve known him longer than me.” You could hear the pain in his voice on the last line.
He sighed and took out your phone.
• Y/N: don’t ever talk ab Izuku like that again. Don’t contact me anymore xoxo
And just like that, you blocked him. Midoriya protested but you assured him that it wasn’t his fault. Kai was problematic and you didn’t want him in your life anyway. This was just the last straw.
“We can go back tomorrow. Maybe I’ll try cotton candy.” You say as you get back to the campus.
Tumblr media
~Katsuki Bakugou~
UA was hosting a little “party” for any students who were interested in attending next year. As the spotlight class of the year, Class 1-A was assigned to the welcoming booths.
Luckily, You got paired up with Bakugou. He didn’t want to do it at all, but was less mad when he found out you guys would be together.
Basically all you had to do was greet the people and answer any questions they had. Pretty boring, but you didn’t mind. You liked new people.
After like 20 minutes of greeting and answering, you heard your name being my called. A fingers got closer and closer in the distance and the voice got louder.
“Hey Y/N. I was looking all around for you.” He said out of breath. You were confused, “Kian? What are you doing here? I didn’t know you were thinking of applying here.” Bakugou stared at both of you. He looked so annoyed.
Before he could even respond, Bakugou interrupted, “Who are you?” he always sounded so intimidated. Kian wasn’t easily intimidated tho. He always stood there with a goofy smile like he didn’t have a care in the world.
“I am Y/N’s ex boyfriend. We had a pretty big thing. Each other’s first loves. Whatever, no biggie. Don’t be getting all sweaty by my presence.” Kian said, leaning into the booth.
Bakugou scoffed, “Nothing about you makes me nervous. Run along.” Kian laughed and said he had questions about the school. You rubbed your forehead. You could tell when he was plotting something. And he was.
Bakugou gave him a blank glare. “So... who was that guy they chained up that the sports festival? I got second hand embarrassment through the screen. Weird-o.” Kai mocked.
You could feel Bakugou getting warmer next to you. “Katsuki. Please just-” You started.
Kian cut you off, “Oh! This is Katsuki? Bakugou? Yikes Y/N. What a downgrade. How are you not embarrassed walking around with him?” He always made things seem like a joke
Shut your fucking mouth extra! Don’t call me Katsuki! You’re nothing, but an insignificant speck in society! Talk to me when you’re a real fucking hero.” Bakugou snapped.
Kian backed up in fake intimidation. “Woah calm down boom boom boy. The Leauge of Villians might here and kidnap you again.” He said.
You could hear, see, feel, and TASTE bakugou’s anger rising. He grabbed the guy by his collar and shoved him against the wall, “I’ll blow your ass into shreads if you say one more fucking word to me or my girlfriend. I’m not afraid to kill you.”
You knew he wasn’t. All Kian did was smile, but he was scared. You could tell.
Bakugou’s hands lit up red. He was still holding the boy.
“What the hell!” Bakugou yelled as his quirk was erased. There Mr. Aizawa stood. On the other side of the room. You slapped your hands over your face in embarrassment.
Kian looked over at you with as he faked holding in a laugh. “Bakugou. Go to your dorm.” He dropped Kian, slightly throwing him, and stormed off. Kian was on the floor, still with the goofy expression.
“Tough crowd?” He tried. You rolled your eyes and ignored him then tailed bakugou back to his room.
You didn’t bother to knock, but Bakugou didn’t acknowledge you as you walked in. You say beside him on the bed quietly.
“Why the hell are you still talking to him? I could beat his ass in 5 second if i wanted to.” He yelled breaking the silence.
You sighed, “He’s... I don’t know what’s wrong with him. I’m never gonna talk to him again after this. What an ass.” Bakugou looked at you. He was angry, but also relieved that you weren’t still in love with Kian.
He asked why you never told him about Kian since he was your “first love.” You didn’t answer for a while, trying to come up with the proper response.
“Why would I? You’re the one in my life now. You’re the one I’m with and the only one I want to be with. He’s not important. The only reason we still talked was because we were childhood friends. In all honesty though, I’ve wanted to cut ties with him for a while. This is a perfcet ending.”
Bakugou scoffed again, “If you say so. I could totally kill him if I wanted to.”
“Yes you could.” You responded.
Tumblr media
~Shoto Todoroki~
You and Todoroki were out shopping for snacks for a little end of semester party. He was assigned to get it, but he didn’t know what everyone liked, so he asked you to come.
Right as you were about to check out, you heard a voice call him. “Yo! Are you Endeavor’s son?” The voice called, as it got closer.
“I am Shoto Todoroki. Son of En-” He started, but the boy gasped. “Y/N! Along time no see.” It was Shoyo (ironic right?), your old childhood friend/ ex boyfriend.
You checked in on eachother maybe once or twice a month. You hadn’t told him about you and Todoroki. He knew you were in the same class, but not that you were dating.
“Wow! You never told me you were friends with Endeavor’s son.” Shoya exclaimed. “I am Shoto Todoroki; Son of Endeavor. Please refer to me as Shoto Todoroki though. I’ve pacing my own path.” He finished.
Shoyo’s eyes widened in amusement as he laughed at him. Truth is, you didn’t really like Shoyo. You had a good time in the past, but now you just found him annoying and you were pretty sure he still liked you.
“Okay, come on babe. It was nice seeing you Shoyo.” You tried to move along, but he stopped you guys. “Woah! ‘babe? You guys are dating? Remember when we dated Y/N? Wow. I did not think you’d fall for such a bland guy. Must be in it for the title. You know since he’s Endeavor’s son. Shoto Todoroki.” He said, mocking Todoroki at the end.
Todoroki stood in place. You exhaled heavily. Why did this have to happen right now. “So what’s it like? You know? beint the son of one of the like least friendly heroes ever? Seriously bro- I would never wanna be a hero if my parent was already one. You’re basically set for life already.”
Todoroki stood in silence, thinking of which question to answer first. “I’m not like my father. I want to become a hero for my own reasons. Is this the end of the questioning? We have to get back to school.”
There was a little bit of tone, which you were happy for. Todoroki’s bluntness always made him intimidating for others. Before Shoyo had another chance to speak, you scooted away.
“Oh. Well bye! Tell Endeavor I said hi!” He yelled from behind. Todoroki looked back and glared at him.
(A/N: okay sorry Shoto’s is so like- short and kinda boring. I feel like he wouldn’t really let things get under his skin, and if they did, he wouldn’t blow up or shut down like Katsuki and Deku. Anyways, great request!)

strong
It starts when Jirou overhears a conversation between Aizawa and Present Mic that could be flirty or not. This leads to a lunchtime discussion of flirty vs. friendly and whether or not the two teachers are each other's types. This then spins into a conversation about "types" in general.
Lunch ends before Todoroki is forced to answer with his own "type."
Class is a special lecture on heroism and psychology. This brings up the cycle of abuse and Todoroki's mental "no."
After dinner, the conversation lazily turns back to types and Todoroki gets called out for not giving his before. "Strong," he says. He gets teased for not giving more--hair color, sense of humor, hobbies, gender--and he's like "those aren't important." Likes? Dislikes? They push. Then he thinks and shakes his head. Strong encompasses everything important.
Eventually the conversation circles back to the instigating situation: Aizawa and Present Mic: Flirty or Friendly? The students start to scheme and this draws in Mina who pulls in the rest of the squad.
Bakugou thinks the whole thing is stupid. Todoroki is surprised to agree with him. Bakugou also points out that even if they are, maybe they don't want anyone to know. And, besides, what does it matter? (Secretly Bakugou knows he isn't straight and he'd hate to be outed by nosy idiots).
Next day, they're assigned a project. They can work in groups. Groups form and discussions, but the project conversation keeps slipping back to the schemes. Todoroki accidentally makes eye contact with Bakugou and it seems he is just as exasperated. Then Bakugou asks the teacher if they can change up groups if they want to do something else for the project. Teacher says "yes" as long as they finalize groups by the end of the period. Then he asks if he can work alone. That is a "no." So Bakugou considers his options (Yaoyorozu’s group would be focused, but he does not want to work with Iida, etc) and ends up approaching Todoroki who is looking about as miserable as his face allows at his own table. Bakugou confirms he isn't in on the scheme yet and says they should work together instead. Todoroki agrees, much to the surprise and dismay of his friends. He just wants to get the project done.
Near the end of the period, Shinsou drops into a chair by them and says they have to be less annoying than Aoyama's group. And then asks why they peeled off from the others. Bakugou says the rest are too focused on whether or not the teachers are dating. Shinsou suppresses a smirk and says "They aren't." "Like I care?" "We're not talking about that," Todoroki says, pulling them back to the project.
They hash out a study schedule for the project. They've got a month to pull it all together. Finding a quiet place to study is difficult, though.
There is training. Todoroki watches Bakugou finish up a set and comments, "You're strong." Bakugou a bit high on endorphins and beating his personal best just says "No shit."
When their study spot is basically invaded for the third time in a row, Shinsou groans and says he might have somewhere they can study instead. He just has to ask first. Bakugou frowns because that reminds him of an option, too. So, until Shinsou can figure out whether his idea will work, they decide to try working on their project at Bakugou’s house.
Todoroki sees how Bakugou and his mother interact, which reminds him of the lesson on cycles of abuse. On the train back to UA he asks, out of nowhere, “Do you think all kids end up like their parents?”
Shinsou and Bakugou immediately answer “No.” Todoroki is like, “But your mother…” / “But nothing. That’s just how we talk. What’s the point in sulking around or hiding what you mean?” The two then glance to Shinsou who’s just like, “My parents abandoned me. I hope I can clear that bar.” / Bakugou’s eyes widen a bit at that, but he only says, “Yeah. We decide what we’re like. Not them.”
And for the second time that week, Todoroki thinks strong.
A few days later, Shinsou announces he has a place they can study, but it is top secret so they can’t tell anyone. The other two agree. (Bakugou’s house isn’t bad, but it isn’t super close either. Walking distance is much better than a train). So after classes, he walks them away from UA, into the nearby neighborhood, and to an apartment.
Inside the apartment is Present Mic with his hair wet and down, frowning over some papers with a grading pen in his hand. He glances up when Shinsou flicks on the hall light. Shinsou signs something and Mic replies and gets up. “Wha--” Todoroki starts to ask quietly and Bakugou replies before Shinsou can, “He’s going to put his hearing aids back in.” “You sign?” Shinsou asks, surprised. “I’m probably going to be deaf by the time I’m 30,” Bakugou replies with forced nonchalance. “I figured I should learn before I had to.” “You should talk with Yamada.” Bakugou raises his brows. “You live with Yamada?” Meanwhile Todoroki is looking around the room and notices the photographs. “And Aizawa?” he adds. Shinsou just smirks again. “You’ll see.”
Present Mic returns with his hair pulled back. “I didn’t realize today was study day,” he says with a bright smile. “Why don’t you take your friends to the table, Hitoshi? I’ll put together a snack.” He does just that and then returns to the living room and his grading. The whole thing reminds Todoroki of Bakugou’s mother when she and Bakugou weren’t arguing. And he asks, carefully because he knows he misses social cues, “Is Mr. Yamada your father?”
This, of all things, is what flusters Shinsou. “Adopted,” he says. “He and Aizawa.” Bakugou laughs. “So that’s why they’re not dating. They’re married?” Shinsou confirms this and reinforces the secrecy.
At some point Aizawa returns to the apartment and Hizashi invites Todoroki and Bakugou to stay for dinner. Then Aizawa offers to walk them back to UA before he goes on patrol. “We won’t say anything,” Todoroki promises; he knows the value of secrets. Then, after a long minute, Bakugou adds, quietly, “But maybe you should? It’d have been nice to know sooner it wasn’t impossible.” Aizawa only nods. He walks them to the gates and tells them to get to bed.
On his way to his room, Todoroki realizes the implications of what Bakugou had said and once again marvels at his strength. Speaking out against a teacher and professional hero, revealing something about himself like that--compounded with his self-confidence and drive and physical fitness…
Todoroki sinks onto his bed and thinks oh.
Once the thought is there, he has trouble not paying attention to Bakugou. It is a Problem.
He is not subtle. Bakugou calls him out on it and Todoroki answers honestly, “I want to understand you.” Like Bakugou is some kind of complicated puzzle.
Really, the only thing keeping Todoroki from becoming the center of attention as everyone tries to understand why Bakugou is the center of his attention is that the flirty v. friendly now duelling schemes are still on. By this point the teachers know. Yamada is having fun with it. Aizawa is ignoring it.
And Todoroki and Bakugou have dinner at their apartment about twice a week. The project ends (and they ace it), but this routine persists.
It is strange watching the two teachers interact with Shinsou. Todoroki even watches Aizawa and Shinsou train one afternoon and is again resentful about his father and own training. And it builds. They go to the apartment and everyone is so nice and family like. And the teachers ask Shinsou about his grades and tease him over his crush on some girl they never outright name. And it is this fury building. He knows how to swallow back his anger, all of his emotions really, but he’s been letting his guard down more at UA and apparently he’s forgotten the trick of it when he has this much going on inside of him (because it isn’t just the fury; it is also his confusion about Bakugou, his worries about his mother, etc). And on the way back to UA, he quietly demands to know why Aizawa never hurt Shinsou during training.
Why didn’t he hurt him? Why didn’t he insult him? Why? He’s crying but doesn’t realize it. Bakugou is frozen. And then Aizawa is hugging him and suggesting that they return to the apartment and talk instead. Todoroki is calming but everything is still spinning around him. Aizawa asks if Bakugou can return to UA alone and Todoroki surprises himself by saying “No. He can come.” Because Todoroki has no idea what he feels about Bakugou, not really, but he knows the other boy is strong and right now he needs strength.
They return. Yamada sees them and murmurs that he’ll make tea. Aizawa takes Todoroki to the couch. Shinsou signs to Bakugou asking what happened. Bakugou replies that he has no idea. Icyhot (and yes, Todoroki’s name signs are that combination) just started crying. Aizawa interrupts the conversation by asking Bakugou to join Todoroki on the couch. Yamada brings in tea and Aizawa starts asking questions. Bakugou isn’t sure what he’s doing there until he feels Todoroki lean very slightly against his shoulder. A cat jumps into his lap. His voice is basically a monotone, but Bakugou realizes he’s still freaked out. And, as he listens to what he’s saying, he realizes why. Shinsou sits on the floor on Todoroki’s other side and leans his shoulder against Todoroki’s knees.
And after the talking is done and Todoroki is staring down at his cold, undrunk tea and the teachers are in the kitchen talking silently. Bakugou says, “You will never be your old man, Icyhot. I’d kick your ass if you tried.” For some reason this makes Todoroki huff a small laugh. “Good.”
The teachers return. They have extra futons. The boys will stay the night and they’ll discuss everything in the morning. They move the couch and lay out the futons. Shinsou sleeps in his own room, so it is just Bakugou and Todoroki.
Todoroki can’t sleep. Now that he’s calmed from his earlier fury and breakdown, panic is setting in. He can’t believe what he just did. Bakugou notices and, instead of insulting him, asks if he wants to learn sign language. They spend about an hour going through the alphabet and basic words until Todoroki is tired enough to sleep.
In the morning, Todoroki refuses to press any charges against his father. The teachers say that they’ll arrange it so that he spends all of his holidays with them or at the school. And say that he has to start meeting with Hound Dog once a week to talk. Todoroki does not like the mandated counseling, but accepts it as his punishment for letting his emotions get the better of him.
The signing lessons continue. Each night, about an hour after curfew, Todoroki slips down to Bakugou’s room and learns sign language. Kirishima knows the sneaking is going on and that Bakugou is giving lessons, but he’s just so proud of Bakugou making friends on his own that he helps cover for them. (He doesn’t know why Todoroki is learning sign, but he doesn’t ask).
The flirty v. friendly schemes are ongoing and yielding mixed results. The debate is annoying. It has been a month, but the growing mountain of contradictory evidence is keeping the conversation alive. Izuku points out that this is the kind of thing Todoroki would normally be all over, but he doesn’t know how to make himself care. He doesn’t care about other people’s romances. He barely cared about his own before Bakugou.
Because that is definitely still a thing. After Bakugou didn’t make fun of him for his breakdown. After he started teaching him sign language every night. He just wants the other boy close. He doesn’t understand his own impulses beyond that. It is enough that he’s even eaten lunch with the Bakusquad a few times.
Meanwhile, Bakugou is opening up to the teachers a bit more. After seeing how they handled Todoroki’s breakdown, he finally takes Shinsou’s advice and mentions his own hearing loss and how it probably wasn’t going to get better. Then one night he brings up what he’d hinted at before. It’s been weeks since then, but he talks about how annoying the schemes have gotten and asks why the teachers don’t just tell everyone and then says that he’s gay and if they’re too cowardly to let little kids know they aren’t alone and anyone can be a hero, then he’ll just do it himself.
On the walk home, Aizawa tells him he’s right and that they’ll think about it. During sign language practice that night, Todoroki tells Bakugou that his friends had asked him before what his type was and that he’d said “strong.” And then he says, “You’re the strongest person I know. I like you.”
And Bakugou is like “you can’t just say something like that” and Todoroki’s just “why not? It’s the truth.” He maybe quotes or references Bakugou’s comment from over a month ago on the train about being direct. So Bakugou asks if they can talk about it tomorrow and Todoroki just nods and asks, “Do you mind if I eat lunch with you tomorrow? I like being close to you.” And Bakugou feels like he’s about to explode of something, but he agrees and all but pushes Todoroki out the door.
Kirishima is returning to his room after staying late in Kaminari’s room playing games. He checks the time. “Lesson end early?” he asks. Todoroki says, “I told him I like him.” Kirishima’s brows raise--”That would do it.”--and he wishes Todoroki a good night. As soon as he’s out of sight, Kirishima lets himself into Bakugou’s room, knowing his friend is not going to be able to process this on his own.
The day happens and isn’t particularly notable. Todoroki has eaten with Bakugou’s friends before, after all. That night, Bakugou says, “Okay. Let’s try this.”
Kirishima, good bro that he is, provides gossip cover by publicly confessing to Yaoyorozu. He wanted someone unlikely who would definitely not return his feelings and who no one in the class would expect. (She accepts. It is a Thing. They go on a date and he explains. When she looks upset, he says that he does admire her; he just never thought of her that way because he figured he didn’t have a chance. He asks her if she wants to try this while also using their relationship to draw away as much attention as possible from Bakugou and Todoroki. Todoroki is her friend, so she agrees. And thus begins their farce covering a real growing friendship and relationship during which they both gain confidence).
Meanwhile Todoroki and Bakugou go on a date. It goes rather well. Except Todoroki still wants closer.
They start cuddling during their nightly lessons, which somehow remain mostly lesson still. Todoroki curls against Bakugou like a cat, mimicking his gestures.
Bakugou talks with Kirishima about things. Todoroki talks with Shinsou. (He’d like to talk with Midoriya, but even he realizes that wouldn’t be the best idea). On weekends, when other students head home to see family, Todoroki stays with his teachers and Shinsou instead of staying in the dorms like he used to. He sleeps on a futon in Shinsou’s room and tells him about dating Bakugou and wanting more, but not knowing what that “more” is. Shinsou suggests kissing. (And maybe privately teases Bakugou about it but Bakugou just flushes and gets agitated and blusters about being careful. And Shinsou, for the first time, calls Todoroki his little brother (actual ages do not matter) and tells Bakugou not to hurt him. Bakugou is both insulted and relieved by this. As if he would).
So the next night Todoroki asks Bakugou to kiss him. So Bakugou, blushing even though (thanks to Shinsou) he’d known this was coming, does. Soft and chaste. He pulls back and Todoroki blinks slowly and says “Again.” Bakugou smirks or grins and kisses him again. This one is not nearly as chaste.
At some point Bakugou tries to be nice and use ‘Todoroki’ instead of a nickname and Todoroki is like ‘I don’t like all of the nicknames, but I like that you don’t use my family name.’ And Bakugou gets it, but the nicknames start getting nicer. Less ‘halfie’ and more things like “strawberry swirl.”
The first time he does this in front of others, Kirishima glares at him and is trying to figure out how to draw the attention away when Yaoyorozu suddenly calls for him using his given name. The whispers shift immediately. And Kirishima, when he recovers his senses, thanks her for her quick thinking.
But such attention drawing doesn’t last forever, especially as Bakugou and Todoroki start gravitating toward each other during school hours (and the lesson portions of their evenings grow shorter and shorter). Then one day when everyone is starting to question them about it (maybe they fell asleep on the couch together in the common room?), Aizawa enters the room and sighs and says, “I hope you’re not concocting another scheme to harass my husband and me.”
Pin drop.
But at least no one cares about Bakugou and Todoroki being friends (or napping together) anymore.
But people will find out soon (and Bakugou is kinda itching to come out now that Aizawa and Present Mic have; it feels too much like backing down if he doesn’t), so Todoroki and Bakugou talk about what they are and what they want. And for Todoroki it is simple. He just wants to be close. And maybe he mentions also not wanting to be his father and that Bakugou reminds him that he doesn’t have to be, that he can be strong. And Bakugou wants to date. He wants to do all the shit people assume he wouldn’t be interested in. And he wants to do that with Todoroki. Plus, Todoroki’s belief in his strength is good. He feels calmer with him around. (So, basically, they’re each a rock for the other; two strong people making each other stronger by reminding each other of their own strengths and believing in one another).
It isn’t love. But it is something.
So, later that night, Bakugou sneaks down to the kitchen and makes a bento for Todoroki. The next day at lunch, when Todoroki is with his friends, he goes over to them and rolls his eyes at the inevitable takeout lunch. “Don’t eat that crap,” he says, pushing it aside and dropping the zaru soba bento in front of Todoroki. “Made this for you.” Todoroki smiles and thanks him. Bakugou kisses his cheek and is pulling away when Todoroki catches his wrist. “Again.” Bakugou laughs and maybe calls him “insatiable” or something and kisses him on the lips before returning to his own table.
(Kirishima and Yaoyorozu were not briefed on this. Their eyes meet in wide panic because they can’t beat that. They’re plotting across the room when Bakugou notices and waves them off.)
And Todoroki’s friends aren’t sure what just happened, so they ask. Todoroki smiles. “I figured out my type,” he tells them. “Bakugou.”

Secrets
Yandere Light Yagami x Reader 
TW: Yandere, Mentions, and depictions of Sexual Assault towards the Reader, 
I do not condone these actions in real life and this is purely fictional and should be taken as fiction. 
Check at the end for the yandere discord link if you’re interested in joining! 
Tumblr media
A loud gasp left [Reader], eyes wide and sweat covering their body in fright. Same shit, different day. Another nightmare and one that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t run away. Sitting up in their bed, they held their head with their hands. Rubbing their eyes slightly to get accustomed to their surroundings. Turning their head slightly, they were met with their alarm clock that read ‘4:39’. 
‘Shit…’ 
It was too early to wake up but they couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how hard they tried. They looked over to their desk to see their homework from last night. It was an essay about the justice system and morals/ethics that was based on a book they were reading in class. It wasn’t completed just yet because [Reader] lost the motivation to write it, but since they were awake they might put their extra time to some use. Walking over to their desk, they reached for the chair before stopping. 
‘ I should get a drink of water…’ 
[Reader] quietly left their room, making sure not to disturb their mother who was surely sleeping in. As they went to the kitchen, they reached for a cup of water and gulped it down in one go. Rubbing their throat to soothe an ache, they went for another cup but took it upstairs. Sitting at their desk and looking over to obtain a pencil, scanning the contents of the assignment, requirements, and what was already written. It wasn’t a lot, just their name and date. Starting with a small thesis that highlighted their main points, they scoffed before looking out their window. It was pitch dark but what they were trying to see wasn’t anything in particular, except for the home that was next to them. It was abandoned and no one was inhabiting it at the moment, but there were so many memories that rest in the very pavement that makes up the home. 
Glaring at the house and with a scoff, determination raged inside them as they looked over to their paper. They knew what to write, they knew the feelings they wanted to convey, they knew what justice they wanted at that moment, ethical or not. By the time they finished, it was almost time to get ready so [Reader] ensured that their paper was safely stored away before going about their morning routine to prepare for school. As they finished and were about to head off, they stopped right in front of the house next to them. It was pretty, but beauty isn’t judged from the outside but the inside, the only sad thing is that inside it was like the core of a rotten apple. Inside was horrid and distasteful, but that was downplaying what really transpired in that house. Whereas the outside of the apple was certainly more appealing and so was the house as if it weren’t untouched by time itself. [Reader] bit their lip before turning away from the house, it was best forgotten right now. Making their way to class, they sat down in their assigned seat waiting for the teacher. Looking to the side staring into space, they didn’t notice that someone took his seat next to them, none other than Light Yagami. It wasn’t until they turned to look at their peers did they notice him next to them reading a book. Light looked up and turned to face them, a small smile before saying ‘Good morning’. [Reader] nodded and returned the greeting, before facing the other way, until his voice woke them from his trance. 
“ Are you alright [Reader]? You seem awfully quiet.” 
“ Just tired, what about you?” 
“ Same old. Did you have any trouble with the assignment?” 
[Reader] was quiet for a second, Light reading into it but [Reader] noticed and quickly replied with a ‘No, not really.’ 
“ I see, did you write about anything particular?” 
“ W-!” 
“ Good morning class, I’ll be taking attendance now so please settle down in your assigned seat.” 
[Reader] mentally thanked the teacher for making it in the nick of time. Light Yagami, was an exceptional student no doubt, taking both regular and additional classes yet still managing to get his assignments all turned in on time. He was often paired with [Reader] for group or partnered assignments so they developed a bit of an acquaintance. Friends maybe but anything else would be over-stretching it. They were left pondering his question, yeah they were a bit close but not that much, was there a specific reason for him asking them questions? 
‘ No I’m just reading into it too much, it must be with the cases that are arising with these so-called criminals dropping dead. Maybe he wanted to know if what I was writing was directed towards that? Even then, what interest does he have with that-?’ 
A soft nudge on their arm woke them up, turning to look at Light in confusion. 
“[Reader’s Full Name]”. 
“ Here.” 
The teacher went off to call more names, [Reader] turned to look at Light who just smiled in return. 
“ Sorry, the teacher was nearing your name and you seemed out of it, thought I would get you back.” 
“ O-oh, thank you I guess…” 
That was the end of the conversation, Light facing the class and paying attention with [Reader] trying to do the same but their mind was clouded with both this morning and Light. 
‘ What was that about….?’ 
It wasn’t until the end of class where the teacher offered to collect the papers but was called to attend an emergency. 
“ Class representative, do me a favor and collect the papers and drop them off at my office. Excuse me.” 
With that, the teacher was gone and the representative gathered the class’s attention. They began to pass up their paper and the bell for dismissal rang. Everyone proceeded to head out, groups forming and discussing after-school activities such as the arcade or a sweets shop. [Reader] packed their bags and proceeded to walk towards the entrance until Light stopped them. 
“ [Reader]! Would you like to walk home together, I don’t have cram school to-!?” 
“ Yagami! I was wondering if you wanted to help me deliver these papers to the teacher’s office?” 
[Reader] saw this as a chance to deny his offer, “ Sorry Light, but maybe some other time?” 
“ Sure.” 
Light walked with the class representative and headed to the teacher’s office. The representative attempted to make an idle chat with Light, but he wasn’t interested. He replied softly and short, the walk there was awkward but it was even more when the teacher wasn’t present in their office. 
“ I-ll goes and try to find them, are you okay with staying here until then?” 
“ Of course.” 
When the representative left, Light averted his gaze to the papers and lightly skimmed the names until he got to the one he wanted to read upon. 
‘ [Reader’s Full Name]’ 
He grabbed their paper and skimmed the content of the assignment, intrigued with their interpretation of the justice system. While his ideas clashed a bit with theirs, he was understanding of their origin. No matter, he would just have to fix that, change it, he just had to show them how the world truly is and how better it would be without those fears. Upon further reading, he began to see how they agreed with Kira in terms of punishment for the criminals. There was more but this was certainly interesting to find more of their thinking pattern, was it possible that Light had found someone worthy of sharing his ideals? 
He contemplated keeping their paper but he realized that if he took it [Reader] would probably get missing in their assignment. The teacher came into the room and thanked the representative and Light for helping them. They both excused themselves and Light proceeded to walk away, his thoughts on [Reader]. 
‘ You seem awfully interested in that other human. By any chance could it be that you’re willing to let them know about the death note?’ 
Light closed his eyes and avoided speaking, he still was in the city and not closer to the streets by the houses that were a bit more secluded. 
‘ Hey, Light!’ 
“ How many times have I told you Ryuk, talking to me when we are in public is risky and as a matter of fact I may.” 
‘ You think us talking is risky, isn’t letting that other human know riskier?’
“ Yes, sharing information about the Death Note is more than risky, but it may be better to have more than two people knowing about it. If our views match up they can be both a great partner and a good alibi when people start suspecting me. If our views don’t match up, then I’ll simply have their memories erased.” 
‘You’re going to let them touch the Death Note too?’
“ In life, you have several people, those who have to see to believe or those who will place their faith blindly in some people. [Reader] doesn’t strike me as the latter so I’ll go with the first one. Besides, if I told them and they did turn, erasing their memories would be a bit more work and risky.” 
‘Okay but why them?’
“ Because…[Reader] is someone who you can either bring up or break down. [Reader] is someone who won’t throw a hysteria when faced with the unknown and based on this essay I suspect that there is more to them than what they lead on. That is an advantage over them, but if they step wrong it could also be their downfall. Besides, I’ve always enjoyed my conversations with [Reader], they say so little but so loudly at the same time. Quite interesting.” 
‘Light has a crush on someone!’
“ I won’t waste my time on such things, right now I can’t afford to fall for that. My priority is reshaping and rebuilding this world as their new God.” 
The conversation was cut short as Light went inside his home and up to his room. He examined the essay through many viewpoints and established that there must have been someone that they hated or wanted to receive punishment, but who? 
~~ 
[Reader] walked to their room and with a heavy sigh collapsed on their bed. Their mother was nowhere to be seen but they were probably out shopping as groceries were lying about in their kitchen. They rested for a while before heading downstairs to put the groceries away, the T.V playing in the background. It wasn’t anything serious until the news segment was announced. 
‘ Breaking news! It is rumored to believe that [Inmate Name] may be released this upcoming week for good behavior. It seems that there have been sever-’ 
Silence. The T.V was turned off as [Reader] began panicking and hyperventilating. Memories of that morning began rushing to their head and their body began to enter into an automatic response, their knees weak but adrenaline was pumping. There was no one around them to assist them so they began to assess the situation themselves. Their heart was racing but it wasn’t anything too serious, just a panic attack and not a heart attack. They tried to steady their breathing by counting and focusing their attention on an object of some sort. They turned to a small painting of a floral garden that their mother had on the wall, they began to engrave all their focus on it trying to steady their breathing. Slowly but surely they began to calm down, but the uneasiness was still there. After a while, they grabbed a glass of water and calmly began to drink the water. The groceries were almost all put away but [Reader] left the non-perishables out as they went up to their room and began to lie on the bed. Sleep slowly overcame them, their dreams turned into nightmares. 
It was a hot summer, but the kids were out and still playing out by the park. [Reader] and some neighboring kids were out and about playing tag. 
“ I want to be it!” 
“ No! You were it last time!” 
“ How about we play rock-paper-scissors to determine who is it?” 
“ Fine!” 
“ ROCK! PAPER! SCISSORS!” 
“ Aw darn it I lost!”
“ And I didn’t win this time either!” 
“ Well, the rest of you hide and I’ll go count.” 
“Okay!” 
The kids scattered and began hiding in some spots, [Reader] struggled to find a spot that wasn’t already claimed by the other kids. Those were all her spots that guaranteed her success, but the other kids took them. [Reader] asked if they could hide with the other kids but they all shushed them away. 
[Reader] was running out of time until they heard a voice. 
“ Hey [Reader] are you playing hide-n-go-seek?” 
“ Y-yeah. . .” 
“ Here, why don’t you hide behind me?” 
A man with a warm smile offered, the man wasn’t a stranger at all to [Reader] or their family since he was their father’s co-worker and best friend. 
“ Okay!” 
They were hiding and they were doing a pretty good job, they weren’t at all found until they all decided to call off the game. 
“ We can’t find [Reader]! Where are they?” 
“ [Reader]! You win so just come out!” 
“[Reader]!!” 
[Reader] popped out from where the stranger was and laughed, “ So I win again!” 
“ Where were you? We were so worried!” 
“ I was hiding behind him!” 
[Reader] pointed at the man on the bench, he waved softly. The kids felt a bit uneasy but their mothers came to collect the kids. [Reader]’s mom showed up to collect her but stopped when she saw the man. She smiled and waved at him. 
“ What are you doing out here?”
“ Oh, miss [Last Name]. I was going grocery shopping when I spotted [Reader] playing. Hope I didn’t interrupt or do something wrong.” 
“ No that’s quite alright, I was just surprised. Though it’s a bit late for groceries.” 
“ Yes work caught up with me but I’d figured I go get something to make my dinner tonight-!?” 
“ Why don’t you come to eat with us? My husband isn’t staying overnight at work so he should be home soon. In the meantime, you can help me with dinner or hang around the house? It should be fine.” 
“ I don’t mean to impose on you-” 
“ Please I insist, it must be so hard for a single man to balance everything. You have friends so I suggest that you start learning how to say yes and let yourself be taken care of one in a while!” 
“ T-thank you [Mom’s first name].” 
With that, small chatter filled their home as they prepared dinner. [Reader] was playing with their toys and even invited their family friend to join them. When their father arrived home, they sat around and ate dinner. They all had a pleasant time, laughing and smiling. Telling jokes and even discussing life and the future. It wasn’t until it was a bit too late and past [Reader’s] bedtime did he leave and give his thanks for having him over. [Reader] lay in their bed, their mother tucking them in and bidding them a good night’s rest. 
“ Mom, does [Family Friend] have kids or a wife?” 
“ Why the sudden question?” 
“ He looks lonely and I don’t see him with kids.” 
“ [Reader], he had a wife and two kids. It’s just, they are no longer here. They left.” 
“ Where did they go?” 
“ They went somewhere better. Now sleep [Reader].” 
“Okay mommy.” 
The days continued like nothing else, there would be times where the [Reader] would be taken care of by [Family Friend] because their mother had a doctor’s appointment and their father was at work. [Reader] stayed at his house, eating small snacks that he prepared for her as he sat on the couch just staring at her. 
“ Hey [Family Friend], do you have a wife or kids?” 
Silence loomed the room before he turned to face her and shook his head. 
“ Not anymore [Reader], they all left me.” 
“ Why? You’re not a bad person.” 
“ Thank you, but they didn’t leave like that. Something happened to them and they are no longer here with us, but enough of that, what do you want to do?” 
“ Hm, let’s play a game.” 
“ Okay, a game it is!” 
It was days like these that the faith one had in another human was shown. Back then people slept with their windows open and some even with the doors unlocked, but that faith was stolen from [Reader]. It was a day where both her parents were busy so their neighbor was in charge of taking care of her for a couple of hours. Nobody knows how or why it happened, but nightmares plague that home as a grim reminder that the ones we trust are just another wolf in sheep's clothing. 
“ Hey, [Reader]?” 
“ Yes?” 
“ I want to play a game. . . but it has to be a secret.” 
“ A secret?” 
“ Mhm, not many people know about this game so this can be our little secret, like a secret code.” 
“ Okay, but what’s the game?” 
“Well. . .” 
His hand lay on her shoulder, rubbing it softly before his other hand rested on his thigh, he rubbed it lightly causing her to flinch before he let go. 
“ [Reader], you know I would never hurt you. . .right?” 
“ Yeah. . .” 
“ This isn’t hurting you, I only want to play a game. It’ll be fun for the both of us I promise, I don’t want to hurt you. . . I love you. . .” 
His hand placement resumed as he went higher and lower. That was when the nightmare began, and it didn’t end for seven years. 
~~ 
[Reader] awoke with a loud gasp, their hands instantly reaching to their body. No one was here in their room, they had to reassure themselves over and over again before reaching over to where their clock lay. It was almost 8 pm but they decided upon bathing before doing anything else. They went to the bathroom and proceeded to bathe, using the products they deemed necessary. Once they were done, they wore comforting clothes and went to bed. Though it was hard to fall asleep in fear of that dream. 
The next day they awoke earlier than usual, going on about their day and proceeding to do their morning routine. They began walking to school promptly and proceeded to go to their seat. Light walked in moments later and took his seat next to them, smiling and greeting them. The teacher soon walked in and class started all over again, nothing new was changing so why should they worry-
“ [Reader’s Last Name], see me after class.” 
[Reader] looked up and panicked slightly, was it about what they wrote? 
‘ It can’t be, I mean this class is crawling with Kira supporters and those who don’t, mine must have been the least controversial-’ 
“ [Reader], is everything okay?” 
“ Y-yeah. . .” 
At the end of class, [Reader] walked to their teacher’s office and waited patiently for them. Thoughts running through their head, am I going to get called out? What’s going to happen, will everyone know wh-!
“  [Reader’s Last Name], I want to discuss with you something regarding your essay submission.” 
‘Shit so it was about that! Fuck what do I say-’ 
“ You didn’t turn it in.” 
‘Huh?’ 
“ W-what do you mean?” 
“ It was not in the pile with the others, since this isn’t a rare occasion but I remember slightly. You pulled it from your bag so I’m assuming that either the class representative lost it or it was misplaced. Would you mind rewriting it? I’ll give you an extension on it of course, but I would like it submitted by the end of next week.” 
“ S-sure.” 
“ That is all, have a great rest of your day [Reader’s Last Name].” 
They nodded and proceeded to walk away, but anger laced their face the moment they were out of view. 
‘ You’ve got to be kidding me, lost? That’s not my fault, if anything I shouldn’t have to rewrite. If they saw me, they should give me full credit!’ 
“ [Reader], would you like to walk home?” 
They looked up to see that it was Light Yagami. They were a bit hesitant and were about to say no until they realized that it might be nice to distract their mind. 
“ Sure.” 
They began to walk home, but awkward silence loomed over them. 
“ If you don’t mind me asking, what did the teacher want to talk to you about?” 
“ Just that. . . my assignment was missing and I have to redo it.  I turned it in but it’s lost apparently, did you notice the paper was missing or if the rep lost it?” 
“ No sorry, but I can help you work on it if you’d like.” 
“ Thank you, I might take you up on that.” 
“ Well we’ve arrived at my home, why don’t you come in?” 
“ I shouldn’t impose-” 
“ Nonsense, any friend of Light is welcomed here!” 
They both turned around to face an older woman, one that held some resemblance to Light and was assumed as his mother. 
“ O-oh I should-” 
“ Please I insist!” 
With that, it was decided that [Reader] would stay over and have dinner with them. In the meantime, they were up in Light’s room preparing to do the assignment. Once they got settled down and his mother brought up snacks, did the real purpose of his invite begin. Halfway through discussing the thesis and beginning, did Light begin to ask strange questions? 
“ [Reader], how do you feel about Kira?”
“ Why?” 
“ No reason, I guess it’s all the publicity Kira has been getting that I assume you may have your own opinion.” 
“ Well. . .Kira punishes criminals so without a doubt yes, I guess you can say that I'm somewhat thankful that Kira is there. However, there are some flaws with that, let’s say petty crime and theft aren’t punishable by death, Kira would only be acting like an executioner, not a judge. Yet, I think that Kira is going about it the right way. The difference is that some people attempt to stop crime, you can’t stop what is happening because someone will always stand up or do something, but you can control crime.” 
Light remained quiet before speaking silently, “ What would you do if Kira were sitting in front of you?” 
“ What?” 
“ What would you do if Kira were sitting in front of you? What would you do if Kira was me, [Reader].” 
Silence overcame [Reader], thinking about their answer they spoke.
“ If you were Kira, I would question your methods and motives.” 
“ Hm, interesting. Would you really like to see how Kira kills?” 
“ What?” 
“ Normally talking about this out in the open to a stranger would be a bit risky, I wouldn’t by any means do this, that is if I were Kira. Yet, it seems that if I were Kira I could trust you based on what you wrote in your essay.” 
Light unfolded the essay that was in his pocket, showing it to [Reader]. They were a bit confused and in shock, why did Light have their essay, and what was he going on about? 
“ Why do you have my essay? I didn’t think that this would be interesting for someone like you Light.” 
“ Well, let’s say I’ve had an interest in you for a long time, ever since we met you could say. Unlike most of our peers not only were you more open-minded but you thought for yourself, not letting others blindly tell you what to think. Based on this essay, I can trust you. . .[Reader], I’m Kira.” 
Confusion stuck them, did they really want to humor him, but even then Light might have been Kira. He not only had the brains to be in hiding for so long, but his ideas were lined up a bit with most people. 
“ I’ll bite, are you really Kira?” 
“ I am, now would you like to know who I do it?” 
“ . .  .Sure.” 
[Reader] walked closer, watching as Light revealed a black notebook with the words ‘Death Note’ written on it. They were confused, to say the least, but they also knew better than to laugh it off and to let him explain. 
“ This is a death note, a notebook that allows me to write the name of an individual and they die. I can choose the method of death and time, the only other requirement aside from their full name is an image of their face.” 
Light stood there, with both a serious face yet a smirk lightly playing at his lips. Was this true? They were about to ask more questions until Light interrupted them, “ Upon reading your essay, I think that there is someone who you want gone. Here try it for yourself, touch the notebook.” 
[Reader] stiffened a bit before nodding, they hesitantly went to touch the notebook. If Light was Kira and was telling the truth, [Reader] instantly became an accessory to the crime, to make matters worse now that Light told them, based on their reaction they could either die or live. Upon touching the notebook, they were met with a horrid creature looking at them with bloodshot red eyes and a smirk on their lips. They looked anything but human and as [Reader] was about to react, they stopped. Light smiled at the sight, they were smart no doubt about it. 
‘ Screaming would alert the mom and who knows what that would cause. On one hand, I could tell his mom that I want to leave but I'll surely die by knowing his identity. If I tell his mom about her son being Kira I would be mocked at and made fun of, all I can do is play along for right now.’ 
“ Open the notebook, look at all the names. With this, we can rid the world of criminals and clean up the streets, isn’t it great?” 
“ Isn’t your father a policeman? Why would you-“ 
“ Because what they are doing isn’t enough, crimes inspire other crimes and it will never stop. By controlling crime with fear we can make the world a better place for kindhearted people like us. You can’t stop crime because it will always happen, but you can control it, that's what my father and the others do. They try to control it through the system, but the system is flawed. With this, we can control it better than they can. Here [Reader], write someone’s name, I know you want to.” 
[Reader] was given a name and the notebook was flipped to a blank piece of paper. Light was awaiting their actions as [Reader] looked uncomfortable at the concept. Who was to say that they could play judge and executioner? They were contemplating until the T.V was playing the news channel about [Inmate Name]. Their heart stopped and Light made note of that, he walked over to the T.V and turned up the volume. The sickening sound of his name being played over and over again was like knives or nails on the chalkboard. A horrid sound, the sound of the end, it was a grim reminder that their life was in someone’s hand. 
‘ [Inmate Name] will be released today at 4 PM, here we have the news studio wanting to interview him. This was the man that escaped the death penalty due to lack of evidence-‘ 
‘ lack of evidence?’ 
The room went cold, their heart sank. He was leaving jail, because of the lack of evidence? Their breath started to increase as tears ran down their cheeks, they rapidly shook their head in attempts to calm themselves and began counting. 
‘ aren’t I evidence enough? He abused me. . . I am the evidence. I am the walking and living proof of his crimes. .  ‘ 
‘ I love you [Reader]. .  .’ 
[Reader’s] heart stopped, his voice echoing in their head as the memories were replaying again tormenting them. 
‘ You know I’ll never hurt you right?’ 
‘ I love you [Reader]. . . ‘ 
‘ Let’s play a game. . .’ 
‘ This can be our secret, like a secret code only we know!’ 
‘This can be our secret. .  ‘ 
‘ This can be our secret’ 
‘ Our secret’ 
‘ I love you. .  .[Reader]’ 
With a heavy sob that slightly confused and alerted Light, [Reader] wrote his name with such haste, with handwriting that was barely legible handwriting and his face clouded their mind like a rainy day. Tears slipped from them as they wrote his method of death, one that they deemed he needed. His execution was set and upon million watching the T.V, [Inmates Name] died a horrible and gruesome death on national T.V. [Reader] stayed crying as they watched the T.V through teary eyes, Light holding them close rubbing their back. He smiled, this wasn’t such a bad plan after all. Through the sobs, he was surprised his mother didn’t come up, but unknown to him she was outside talking to some neighbors and his sister wasn’t home just yet. As they started to calm down slightly, Light provided soothing words of comfort before whispering, 
“ We can clean up these streets [Reader], don’t worry. .  .this can be our little secret.”
~~ 
I apologize to the anon that requested this because as you can see there is no NSFW and very little of what they wanted. I am prepared to write more to the story if needed just let me know as I would like to rewatch the series before continuing. I have also opened up a yandere discord server to interact and will be running it with other close friends and @seiyasabi. Please check their content because they are really good!

Lucky - Logan Howlett smut
The one where Logan catches you touching yourself when you’re supposed to be his.
Warnings: masturbation (f), oral sex (f), slight voyeurism, playful possessiveness, reader is a dumbass, Logan is in love, p in v, dirty talk, unprotected sex, a single spank, kind of a cum kink?, creampie
A/N: If a man tries to control when you can orgasm without your consent, please ignore him and get yourself another one. Logan here is obviously jesting and even if he were to create such a rule, he’d only enforce it with his girlfriend’s acceptance, of course. Day 4 of kinktober and the prompts were masturbation + eating out.
Y/N’s P.O.V.
As soon as I hear my room’s door close behind me, the stress of the day started to leave my tense muscles. Just being surrounded by my stuff, that I’d been carefully collecting since my arrival in Charles’ academy four months before, was enough to send the message to my brain: you’re home, relax. No one is going to disturb you here.
It wasn’t necessarily true, of course, which was one of the cons of living in the same place that I worked, but the probability of one of my students coming all the way here to ask for help, advice, or any other sort of guidance was extremely low, thankfully. As 5pm approached, the youngsters too began to relax, opting to look for social activities or hobbies to occupy their time instead of training and studying. In all my time here, no one except teachers had come to bother me in my own bedroom, and even that was extremely rare. Everyone seemed to understand the need for some alone time after a day of responsibilities.
So that’s why this room that was designated to me had this ability to instantly make me feel better, I guess. Up until now, the only other place that managed to make me feel so safe wasn’t actually an environment, but a person.
Logan.
We’d been some sort of unspoken thing for a while now, only about a month. Despite his usual grumpiness that seemed to be directed to keep me away from him right after my arrival, the fact that I didn’t seem to care quickly made him curious, and this curiosity soon became a particular interest in seeing me underneath him, moaning pleasurably in his bed.
He made me feel safe, and the truth was that I didn’t care that after a month, we still hadn’t decided to give a name to what we had. All that mattered to me was that he wanted to spend time with me too and that he treated me right. 
But he’d been gone for the last four days on a special mission assigned by Professor X, so that meant that my current situation couldn’t really be blamed solely on my student’s behavior for the day. Oh, no. This particular tension came after my body had grown accustomed to being treated to multiple orgasms night after night, only to be abruptly denied those treats.
I missed him. I hadn’t had to touch myself in over a month and I’d spent the last few nights depriving myself of it because I knew I could never give myself the kind of pleasure that Logan could. Only he wasn’t here, and I was going crazy, especially since no one had any idea of when he would be back.
I needed him.
So I decided to grant me at least some sort of relief, as pathetic as it’d be, in the hopes of calming my longing body. The first thing I did was strip down to nothing. My favorite pampering activity was a nice warm bath after a stressful day of classes, and from Logan’s comments, I knew he liked it when I took the time to lather myself up in essential oils, too. On more than one occasion he commented that it made me smell “good enough to eat”.
It was only after said bath that I laid down on my still-made bed, spread out to appreciate the silkiness of my own skin after a good hydration session. The smell of coconuts from my favorite cream helped to ease me into the right state of mind, that I so desperately needed so I could start softly running my fingers over my thighs without that stupid inner voice that wanted to make me recoil in embarrassment.
I was a grown woman in the privacy of her own room. It was stupid to be timid about needing to touch myself, so I focused on the desire I could feel rising through me, and not on any other pop-up thought that insisted on making its way into my brain.
It became a lot easier when I thought about my lover.
Oh, how I wished Logan was here. He’d love to see me in this position, legs spread open for his eyes to take. Only the thought of his piercing eyes fixated in my naked body was enough to get me wet, and that elicited another memory of him. How he’d groan when the smell of my juices hit his nose, immediately prompting him to get on his knees in front of me and bury his head between my thighs. He’d lap me up eagerly, hungrily, like I was an entire feast dedicated to him after a life of restraint. As passionate a lover as Logan was, I don’t think there was anything he loved more than eating pussy.
If he was here, he’d say mine was the only one that provoked such an animalistic reaction from him. I’d laugh, refusing to believe anything that came out of his mouth when all he could think about was burying himself inside of me, but I’d blush nonetheless. A part of me wanted to believe I was special to him, despite his years and the number of women he’d most certainly laid with, mostly because he was special to me, too. 
But I couldn’t afford this sort of thought, so I opted to focus on the memory of how Logan’s tongue felt against my clit. I let a single finger touch it, trying to mirror the same pattern of movement he’d make. It was nowhere near the same sensation, but it was enough to prompt me to release a little moan of pleasure.
We were starting to get somewhere.
Logan’s P.O.V.
After four long days of fuckery, the only thing I could think about was going back home straight to my girl’s arms. So as soon as we were through the academy’s doors, I took the stairs two at a time to go directly into her room, having memorized her schedule long enough to know that she’d most likely be there. 
No one tried to get in my way. They knew better.
Much to my surprise, as I approached the now familiar doors to her room, a familiar scent engulfed me, prompting me to tune into the sweet sounds that I’d dreamed about these last nights. They were very discreet, but for someone with my enhanced abilities and extreme focus on her body and reactions, it was very obviously there.
Blindly, I reached for her door, slowly pushing it open and welcoming the warmth and overwhelming perfume that I’d come to associate with her presence, especially during the times she was releasing these delicious little moans. Immediately, my ears picked up on another, much dirtier tune: the squelching sounds her fingers elicited from her sweet pussy as she fucked herself.
I almost fell to my knees, as my legs suddenly lost the ability to keep me upright, but I was able to hold myself back just in time. Wouldn’t want to miss the show, especially when it was making me so fucking hard. 
Finally venturing further into the room, I came face to face with the beauty waiting for me. She hadn’t noticed my arrival yet, too preoccupied with her pleasurable activities, her eyes closed shut in concentration as her mouth fell open in that delicious silent scream I liked to swallow so much.
I watched as she touched herself a bit more, attentively looking for the telling signs that she was close to her release, and just when the muscles on her thigh began to clench, I leaned over her and wrapped my hand around her wrist, pulling her fingers from inside her cunt. The surprised gasp she let out made me smirk.
I sucked on her fingers, enjoying my first taste of her after what felt like forever. A deep groan erupted from my chest at her sweetness invading my mouth. “Missed me?” I teased when I finally reopened my eyes to find her staring back at me with a lustful expression.
“You have no idea just how much,” was her answer. I was enough of a man to feel proud of her response, but it also became clear just how much I had actually become soft for the woman under me - a stark contrast to the hardness I could feel restricting my jeans.  
When she first arrived at the academy, I hadn’t expected her to become as important to me as she had now, but just as I struggled to take off my clothes as quickly as possible before kneeling before the bed, pulling her by the ankles so she was spread out just in front of my face, I couldn’t really deny it. I’d do anything to keep her with me, just like this.
“I think I have some idea of it…” I teased her just as I softly ran my fingers over her pussy lips, simply collecting the wetness that had gathered there.
Y/N’s P.O.V.
He once more wrapped his lips over his wet fingers and moaned at my taste in his mouth. “How are you this fucking sweet?” Was all he asked before he delved right in, parting my thighs with his large hands and licking from my puckered hole to my clit. 
“Fuck!” I cursed, throwing one of my hands over my head, to find something to hold onto, while the other found its way into his hair, pulling on it just the way I knew he liked. I felt his groan reverberating through me before he chuckled, briefly stopping his ministrations to stare up at me with his lower face dripping from my wetness.
“I love when I can make you curse.” Biting my lip, I accepted that I couldn’t retaliate his teasing while he continued to eat me out. His tongue easily engulfed my whole pussy, so just that was enough to bring me to the edge of an orgasm in a way I could never grant it to myself. “Come on, sweet girl,” he admonished, slapping my thigh. “Ride my face. Give me what I came here for.”
I obeyed him without even thinking about it. This was just how it was when it came to us. He asked me to strip, my panties were on the floor before he finished his sentence. He ordered me to get on my knees, my mouth was instantly watering at the sight of him.
But God, did he deliver. My compliance came very easily when it came to a man like him, so eager to please beyond what his body could already offer. I’d been with many men before who, while obviously not as well-endowed as him, had been on the bigger side, and they always left me needing more, like they believed their dick’s length was enough to satisfy me without any real effort from their part.
Not Logan, though. Oh, no. Logan thrived on making me cum, over and over again. He liked to say he’d live on my pussy alone if possible, and by the way he very hungrily ate me out for hours on end at times, I knew he was being honest.
I sometimes liked to entertain the idea that I was the one who brought out that side of him, but I knew better. Someone like Logan had a lot of experience, I was dumb to think that I might be somewhat special to him, somehow. So I didn’t.
Instead, I allowed the filthy sounds of my wetness being gurgled down by him to bring me back to this moment, choosing to focus instead on how delicious his tongue felt against my clit, how he happily accepted my movements as I buckled up, in search of my orgasm.
I was right over the edge, in need of just a little something else to push me over it when Logan suddenly decided to open his eyes and focus them on me. The sight of his darkened eyes and dilated pupils was enough to make me throw my head back against the soft pillows of my bed as I reached bliss.
When the stars of light disappeared from my vision and I came to my senses, Logan was still in the same spot in front of me, his thumbs softly caressing the inside of my thighs. “You’re back with me, darlin’?” He asked in that deliciously gruff voice of his, and I shivered, nodding breathlessly as I wetted my lips. “So now, let’s have a talk. Who said you could touch yourself while I’m away, huh?”
I blinked once, then twice. My mouth was slightly agape as I looked down at Logan, still sprawled out for his viewing pleasure while my mind raced to make sense of his words. “I-I don’t understand,” I finally confessed, my eyes following his movement as he climbed up on the bed until we were face to face for the first time since his return.
Logan’s P.O.V.
I tsked teasingly, leaning down to deposit a quick kiss on the corner of her lips. “I asked you…” I breathed out on her ear, watching as goosebumps raised over her skin. “... who said you could touch yourself, darlin'. Because last I checked…” I cupped her cunt with one of my hands, chuckling lightly at how I was able to cover it with my palm. “... this pussy was mine and only mine.”
“I-it was?” Now, hold my heart (and my cock) but she just looked too fucking cute with that confused look on her face, her eyebrows frowned as she stared at me like I had grown two fucking heads.
“Of course, sweetheart. Now, I know we hadn’t talked about this before, so I’ll let your pretty little ass spank free this time, but be warned…” I leaned over her again, my nose touching hers as I felt her little breaths against my own lips. “... next time you’re feeling horny, you ask your boyfriend to help you deal with it. And if he’s not around, you wait.”
Now, I was expecting some kind of reaction from my little rule, and I was 100% ready to negotiate, but what I wasn’t expecting was for her eyes to grow twice their size as she suddenly sat up on the bed, forcing me to lean back and take a seat, too.
“Boyfriend?” She definitely looked confused, her eyes searching mine for something I didn’t know since I was just as puzzled. Opting to stay silent, I simply stared back at her, both of my eyebrows raised high as I waited for her explanation. “You mean… you?”
The familiar fire of anger rose up quickly inside my chest, and I had to curl my hands into fists to control myself. “Of course it’s me, who the fuck would it be? Are you sleeping with anyone else?”
Rationally, I knew my problem was less anger and more disappointment. I’d let my guard down for her - way too quickly, faster than I’d done for anyone else throughout my life. And I’d done it because she touched my heart in a way no one else had. I was falling for her, and I thought she felt the same way too.
“NO! Of course not!” She all but jumped, her hands reaching out to cradle my face and I found myself actually relaxing against her touch, as my heartbeat started to slow down at the knowledge that she really was all mine. “I just… I didn’t know… I didn’t think we were dating. I thought you saw me as…”
She didn’t seem to have the courage to finish her sentence, but she didn’t need to. I understood what she meant, and as realization fell upon me, I found myself throwing my head back and full-on laughing, much to her displeasure. When I managed to calm down, she was pouting at me, which only made the arousal that had dissipated by the fear reappear that much stronger.
“Oh, darlin’...” I started, pulling on her ankles to force her on her back again as I hovered over her, watching, analyzing. “I’ve fucked you every single night for the last month. Now, I know I’m not the kind to talk about my feelings, but I figured that made it pretty obvious…”
Leaning down, I took possession of her mouth to give her a breathtaking kiss, forcing her to accept my eager tongue, to taste herself on my lips. Then I went further, kissing her jaw, her neck, until I reached her collarbones, where I sucked a bruise, all the while rubbing my aching cock against her clit before pushing it inside of her in one forceful thrust. 
“... You’re mine. Only mine. Mine to fuck, mine to bruise and mark, mine to cum into.” Her mouth immediately fell open at the feeling of my hardness stretching her open, and I couldn’t help the smirk that took over my lips. “You okay with that, sweetheart?” I asked, waiting for her to adjust to the feeling of being invaded as I nibbled on her earlobe.
Finally, after a few minutes of her struggling to breathe as I felt her squeezing my biceps, she nodded. “Y-yeah.” Grinning, I took that as an okay to start moving and immediately started to pound her against the mattress, just like I loved and had come to learn that she did, too. Her nails bit on my flesh, but it only added to my own arousal, making me growl against the skin of her chest.
“This fucking pussy… You really thought I’d just treat you like a fuckbuddy?” Abruptly pulling out of her, I manhandled her onto her hands and knees before pushing her face down against the mattress, all the while laughing at the little scream of surprise she let out. “I’m never gonna stop fucking you, pretty thing. You better watch out.”
She was moaning desperately now, just how I’d dreamt of hearing while I was away from her, and it made my sack even heavier as it slapped against her clit with each thrust I gave. “Fuck… ‘m gonna cum, sweetheart. Do you want it? Say you want my cum in your pretty little pussy, come on.”
After a gasp that followed my slap on her ass, she flipped her head back, looking at me with those fucking sultry eyes that I loved so damn much. “Please, Logan, cum inside of me. Wanna feel it dripping from me, please, I need it so bad.” And this is why I was convinced she was some sort of siren or whatever. The second that our eyes connected, I was fulfilling her wishes, releasing all of my milky cum inside of her throbbing pussy, as she came at the same time as me.
Once I was able to breathe again, after having thrown myself by her side on the bed, I pulled her so she’d rest her face on my chest, chuckling to myself over how much of a cuddle lover I’d become ever since we’d started sleeping together.
“Hey, Logan,” she called out my attention, making me hum in response as I looked down to find her staring up expectantly at me. “I hope you know that this goes both ways.” I blinked twice as I waited for her words to make sense to me, but before they did, she was giggling, already clarifying her meaning. “You’re mine too.”
To say that those words filled me with the happiest kind of warmth would be an understatement. I didn’t know what to say, I’d never been good at this lovey-dovey shit, so I settled for pulling her back to me again and giving her forehead a kiss.
“Believe me, darlin’... I know.”

Soft as Silk
Pairing: Sweet Pea x Fem!Reader
Written: December 22nd, 2020
Posted: December 22nd, 2020
Warning: None
Word Count: 1,000
Requested: Yes! @kpopgirlbtssvt​ Hii!! (This is a lot omg, let me know if it’s too detailed!) Can I please request a Sweet Pea x shy/quite!innocent!fem!reader where when the Serpents first go to the Northside school, at some point during the school day, Sweet Pear hears soft music (a violin) and he’s curious, so he follows it. Which leads him right outside the orchestra room, where he sees Y/N (for the first time as she’s really shy and doesn’t talk to many people), by herself, playing her violin. Awhh and she would so blush when she sees him (through the window on the door) watching her play, but shyly smile too. She doesn’t hold the same beliefs as the other Northsiders do, she’s actually kind and accepting to all the Southsiders. They get closer and closer and their relationship eventually develops into boyfriend and girlfriend. Sweet Pea would be soft for her and veryyyy protect and the other Serpents would be as well. The Northsides (especially Archie and Reggie) would be shook lol. I honestly love the “opposites attract.”
---
A/N: I loved writing this, especially because it was a Violin reader request! I used to play Violin all through school, I even won competition medals and even got my Letterman’s Jacket Letter from playing Violin in high school. Even though I haven’t played since, I still enjoy listening to orchestra music, if you’re like me I suggest listening to Lindsey Sterling, she’s great with her electric violin. Okay I’m done ranting lol. I also included a lot of the things I did / experienced. Like having to take a music class to graduate, swaying as playing the violin. ect.

Sweet Pea Masterlist
Tumblr media
Walking into Riverdale high, you gripped your Violin case handle just a little tighter. The Southside High students would be attending classes today as they transferred to the Northside school.
Everyone seemed to be a little on edge since the announcement of the merge. Reggie seemed to be a little angrier since then, as well as Archie. They had both been your friends since you could remember. Both guys were often very protective over you since you were shy and didn’t have a lot of friends. It seemed like an odd friendship as an outsider looking in.
As you walked through the hallways, you made your way to the Orchestra room. Nobody would be in the classroom until at least the third or fourth period, which allotted you enough time to play to your heart's content.
Shutting the door, you let out a content sigh. The overwhelming feeling of home washed over you. The Orchestra room, was your home away from home since you were always there practicing.
Opting for a change of scenery, you decided to take a seat in the back row. Grabbing your sheet music, you placed it on the stand in front of you. Turning towards your case, you had placed it on the chair beside you. Opening the case, you pulled your bow out before tightening it ever so slightly, then you grabbed your rosin and began moving it up and down on your bow.
Once you were satisfied with the amount of rosin on your bow, you pulled your violin out, placing the shoulder rest on it then placing it on your shoulder. Angling your head you held the Violin between them. Reaching underneath the violin you began twisting the tuning pegs, allowing you to tune your violin.
After tuning, you felt as though you were ready to begin playing. You glanced at the key before checking the tempo. Placing your bow on the strings you began moving your fingers to hit the notes. Losing yourself in the music you began to sway slightly as you played.
---
As Sweet Pea entered the Northside school, he couldn’t help but have a foul mood. He hated the North siders and now he would have to go to school with them. Luckily, he had his closest friends beside him to help him get through the day. 
Naturally, they arrived late to school. Walking towards their assigned lockers, they placed their belongings in them before making their separate ways toward their respected classrooms. 
Sweet Pea grumbled to himself as he made his way towards the Choir room. Each student was required to take some sort of music class to graduate. The soft sound of instrument melody filled his ears. 
Glancing around the hallway, he was alone which allowed him to follow the sweet melody. The music led him straight to the orchestra room. There he gazed through the window and saw an innocent looking girl playing her violin.
---
Losing yourself in the music, you continued playing until you felt the sensation of somebody watching you. Glancing towards the door, you saw a guy with a black leather jacket gazing at you. 
You could feel heat rising in your cheeks as you locked gazes with him. Normally, you weren’t one to play for an audience, however, you couldn’t bring yourself to stop playing. 
As you gazed at each other, you didn’t miss the blush that made its way to his cheeks nor did you miss the soft smile he sent you.
The sound of a bell interrupted your moment, as it signaled the end of class and the start of a new class.
Sighing, you broke the gaze you shared and begun putting away your violin. Once you were finished, you held onto a small inkling of hope that he would be waiting for you. As you exited the orchestra room, you glanced around only to see the mysterious serpent nowhere in sight.
“There you are!” Reggie exclaimed throwing his arm around your shoulders. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you. I should’ve known you’d be in the music hallway.”
You rolled your eyes, before shrugging off his arm. “You should’ve looked there first, that’s where I always am.”
“Clearly.” Reggie scoffed. “Come on, you don’t want to be late for  next period.”
---
The rest of the day, your mind was clouded with the thought of the mysterious guy from this morning. You couldn’t help but think back to the intimate moment you shared. It was a moment you hadn’t shared with anyone before.
In one of your classes, you were sitting beside Tony and Fangs. They were quick to introduce themselves to you. A grin made it’s way to your face as you had become friends with some of the South siders.
“This is, Sweet Pea.” Fangs spoke introducing you to the guy you had seen earlier in the day.
“Nice to meet you, Sweet Pea, I’m Y/N.” You grinned shaking his hand.
---
Since that day, you had developed a close bond with the younger Serpents. It was rare that you were seen without one or all by your side. They had taken you under their wing and protected you as their own. 
You and Sweet Pea began developing a close bond. He would often skip classes, to spend time listening to you play your violin in the orchestra room. Fireworks always seemed to erupt in your stomach anytime he was near you. “What is he doing with her?” Archie questioned as he stared daggers at the sight of you and Sweet Pea walking through the halls.
“I don’t know man.” Reggie shrugged. “It’s crazy that they excepted her into their group.”
--
“This is Y/n,” Toni spoke introducing you to FP.
Fangs had convinced you somehow to hang out with the younger serpents at the wyrm.
“Hi.” You shook his hand, as your voice came out meek and meager. 
“Ah, so she’s the North sider you’ve all been talking about.”

Charmed I’m Sure [G.W.]
Description: George is in desperate need of assistance with his Charms essay and he turns to you. Working together brings you closer than you expected.
Pairing: George Weasley x Gryffindor fem!reader 
Word Count: 1.5k
A/N: I wrote a bunch of these short stories/one shots a while ago that I decided to post them on here! Keep in mind I wrote this one AGES ago, so I know this one isn’t great but it sets the scene for some of the others I have. As I post these, they should get better :) Also I’m new to posting fics on Tumblr so bear with me as a work the kinks out
                                                           X
 “Hermione, please!?!?” You heard from across the common room. 
“For the last time George, no! I will not write your Charms essay for you!” Hermione said. 
“But it’s due tomorrow and I haven’t even started yet!” 
“Sorry, that’s your problem. I’ve got other things to work on.” She left the common room and you chuckled quietly to yourself. 
“Waiting until last minute again, are we?” you asked George. He gave you a look that said it all.  
“If you’re going to give me the speech about being more responsible and managing my time more wisely you can just skip it because I’ve heard that one too many times.” 
“Me lecture? Never.” 
He rolled his eyes and you said, “Come here, what’s this essay about.” 
He sat down next to you on the couch and said,  “Y/N, you’re brilliant at Charms! Will you please write this for me!?” 
“Write it for you? No. But I will help you with it.” 
He hugged you suddenly and said, “Thank yoooooou!” 
“Easy. You can thank me when you finish the essay. I think you’re putting a little too much faith in me. I’m a year behind you so I might not even know about what you’re learning.” 
“Eh semantics,” he said nonchalantly and you gave him a skeptical look. But sure enough, it was a topic you were familiar with. You helped him form a thesis and explained some of the critical information he needed. He put quill to parchment  as you verbally gave him some sentences to include. As you sat there with him, you noticed he started to form his own words on the subject and everything he was writing was accurate. He seemed to be comfortable working on his own, so you pulled out some of your own work but sat with him for moral support.
After several hours, he convinced you to take  a break with him. He set aside his parchment and said, “So, Y/N. How have you been?” 
“I am just peachy. Things have been going quite well for me recently.” 
“Things always go your way. Your Irish blood brings you luck.” 
You shrugged and said, “Is that why you wanted my help? Because I’m lucky?” 
“No, it was more because you’re wicked smart. And I missed talking to you. I haven’t seen you much this year.” 
“Yeah I guess it has been a while. It’s mostly because you and Fred are always working on a prank of some sort.” 
“And you’re always talking to someone different, Miss Socialite.” 
“Oh that is not true. I’m just friendly.” 
“Sure,” he said with an eye roll. 
“Any good pranks in the works?” 
“Y/N,” he chucked, “I know that you’re dying to be a part of one of our infamous pranks, but I don’t think you’re qualified.” 
“I think you’re underestimating me. Think about it, filling me in on a prank would be very beneficial for you.” 
“Oh? And why is that?” 
“Because I’m logical and detail oriented. I think of everything, therefore there would be no chance of error. And, you know, I’m fun to be around.” 
“I will agree with you on the latter part. We do need to hang out more. Outside of quidditch.” 
“Well you should remember that and ask me to hang out sometime. I’m sure you’d much rather spend time with me while we’re doing something fun instead of writing an essay. And speaking of essay...” George groaned and went back to his books. 
“Come on, you  only have a few paragraphs left to write.” He started writing again and you looked up at the clock and noticed it was 2AM. You let out a big yawn and felt yourself become tired immediately. 
“You sound tired. You should go to bed. I don’t have much left to write, I can handle it,” he said. 
You shook your head and replied, “No, I’m okay. I’ll stay up with you.” 
“It’s good enough as it is. I can bullshit the next few paragraphs.” 
“Nope. I’m staying here. If I leave, who's to say you won’t fall asleep?” 
“Yeah, fair point.” 
By this time the two of you were sitting on the ground in the common room with your books sprawled out and your backs leaning against the couch, directly in front of the fireplace. You started getting cold so you grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around your shoulders. As you continued your reading assignment, you kept checking in on George to make sure he was getting work done.
“How’s it going?” you asked. 
“I’m just trying to get this thing done. I don’t care how good my writing is as long as I get my point across.” 
“Okay,” you yawned. A moment later you found your head was resting on his left shoulder. He noticed but he didn’t seem to mind. Soon you felt your eyelids flutter over your eyes and you were out.
                                                            X
You woke up the next morning and found yourself in a room that was not your own. It was not the common room either. It was definitely a dorm but whose, you weren’t sure. 
“Morning sunshine,” someone said. You looked up to find George’s face smiling down at you. 
“Morning,” you mustered, as enthusiastically as you could. “Where am I exactly?” 
“In my room. See last night you fell asleep, and I didn’t want to wake you. I was going to carry you to your room but that wasn’t an option, with the enchantments and all. So I just took you to the next place I could think of, which was here.” 
“You could have woken me up. Or just left me on the couch in the common room, you know?” 
“Sure I could’ve, but you looked so peaceful sleeping. I couldn’t bring myself to wake you. And the common room was a bit nippy. I just thought you’d be more comfortable in my bed.” 
“Well that was very sweet of you. But where did you sleep?” 
“On the floor. I grabbed some spare pillows and blankets and-” 
“George! You didn’t have to sleep on the floor. You really should have just left me in the common room. I would’ve been fine. I never meant to take your bed.” 
“I just wanted you to be comfortable. Any gentleman would have done the same thing. Now please stop arguing with me because there isn’t anything you can do to change it.” 
You opened your mouth to say something but found you had nothing to say. Instead, you slouched and crossed your arms, clearly annoyed with his previous statement. 
“How did the essay come out?” 
“I showed it to Hermione already and she said it looked decent. I just need a passing grade. If I pass this, I pass the class.” 
“Oh, I didn’t realize this paper was so important...” 
“You did all you could. Most of it was on me, for being a slacker. But thank you. I’m really happy we got to hang out for a bit last night.” 
You smiled at him. “Me too. And it’s no problem. Really.” 
You left his room and headed to your room, receiving a few  curious looks on the way. Last night made you realize how much you had missed George. You used to be best friends growing up, but recently you drifted apart. You were still friends, but nowhere near as close as you used to be. You only hoped he would take your advice and ask you to hang out soon.
                                                           X
“Y/N!” You turned around to see who was calling you. It was George and he seemed very excited about something. You excused yourself from your current conversation and headed to see George. 
 “Y/N! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” 
“Oh have you?” 
“Yes! Guess what?” 
“Do you really want me to guess? Because I’m not a great guesser.” 
“I got my paper back and I got an O!” 
“O as in outstanding!? That’s amazing!” 
“I owe it all to you! You practically wrote the paper for me.” 
“Don’t sell yourself short. You did all the heavy lifting on that paper. I was just there for moral support.” 
“You really don’t understand do you? You are the reason I passed! I couldn’t have done this without you” 
“I’m really happy for you George! I can’t remember the last time I saw you this excited.” 
“I am over the moon!” He embraced you in a hug and picked you up off the ground and spun you around. When he finally put you down, you just smiled at him. Then the last thing you ever expected to happen happened. His face became suddenly serious and he leaned in and kissed you. It was a relatively short kiss. It seemed like he just did it without thinking because he quickly pulled back and his face was that of panic and shock. 
“I’m so sorry. I don’t know what-” he started, before you cut him off. You grabbed his tie and pulled him down towards you to kiss him again, this time more passionately. He wrapped his arms around your waist and you reacted by snaking your arms around his neck. 
George pulled away and rested his forehead against yours. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he breathed. 
“Well good, because you’re about to do it again.”

Congratulations
summary: His assumptions hurt you both. Is there still a chance for you? genre: angst warnings: poor writing? a/n: So I just finished my first ever fic and it just had to be angst. Part 2 is here! wc: 1.4k
„I’ve made a mistake…” He didn’t expect it to actually escape his mouth.
Neither of you knows how you ended up in that situation. Where did you go wrong? Which decision was the first one leading to this doom? Does it even make sense to ask yourselves at this point?
---------------------
You still remember the day when you entered that classroom. As a foreign teenager who just moved to such an alien country due to adoption, you were nervous. Actually, nervous was a huge understatement. You kept repeating the formula and spelling of your name, even though you were quite fluent in Japanese. Can’t be too careful, right?
“Hello, I’m L/N F/N, just moved here, so please feel free to point out any language mistakes I might make! Let’s all have fun together!”.
A few giggles here and there, maybe it wasn’t going to be so bad. The seat you were assigned to was in the last row, next to a boy glancing at you secretly, not that you know about it.
Sometime later your brother was summoned to school. Honestly, you were slowly getting bored while waiting for the meeting to finish. Why was it taking so long? Were you doing such a poor job assimilating? Thoughts and worries started flooding your mind, and you were sure it would end up being a massive headache, when you heard agitated voices. Their sweaty owners were wearing tracksuits, and you found yourself wondering which sports club they were in. One of the boys, beefiest and most probably the loudest, stopped and STARED at you. He looked like an owl, you dared to think. And was it your classmate with him?
You only noticed it got so cloudy once raindrops touched your face. How come you were still waiting for that meeting to end? And your brother was the one with the umbrella. You felt a mixture of anger and anxiety taking over you, until a mysterious umbrella was spread over your head. That owl boy again. Was it the first flag of doom?
---------------------
It was supposed to be just one year. One last year of high school, and then new school, new environment, new people. Making friends in this particular stage of life wasn’t really a focal point. Instead, you directed all your energy into academics, and it was paying off. It didn’t take long for you to be on top of all 3rd years. Along with your now acquainted neighbour, as it turned out, not only in the classroom (thanks to your brother, who apparently was close friends with him). You also somehow managed to befriend Bokutowl Boy, as you liked to call him, and a few others.
“Okay class, your next assignment is a project you’ll work in pairs on.” One day your teacher announced. “You’re free to pick your partners on your own, I’ll only form one group – Kuroo and L/N – so that the rest of you doesn’t freeload”.
You rolled your eyes at that statement.
“Admit it, you’re secretly happy that you’ll get to see me more.” He mused.
“C’mon, I already see you almost all the time.” You shot back.
“That’s because you can’t get enough of me”
“Oh please, I only do this so I can spend more time with Bokuto.”
Was it a pinch of hurt in his eyes?
---------------------
He was clearly avoiding you. Or at least trying. You had an assignment to work on, yet he kept telling you he didn’t have time. So you worked by yourself. He noticed you visiting the library and disappearing in the subject’s section. He saw you asking several clubs for permission to use their equipment for project experiments. He was hurt, yes, but he couldn’t let himself be the freeloader. So when one day he knocked to your room, you were surprised. Even more so, when he apologised while properly bowing.
“I uh… I’m sorry for what I said, that joke was insensitive…”
Your voice wasn’t much louder than a whisper, but he was sitting right next to you, getting ready to work on your report.
“That was a joke?”
He looked at you with his usually hazel eyes, now more golden and glistening with hope. Or maybe you wanted it to be hope.
---------------------
Apparently a rumour about your academic achievements spread fast and far. It must have, because you were currently sitting with Bokuto, trying to tutor him, even though you weren’t even in the same high school. His emo modes when he couldn’t quite understand something at the first try were tiring, but also amusing.
He reminded you of a lit candle, which would have its flame vanquished with a gentle blow. But it was also relatively easy to turn him back into an energetic ball of sunshine, and that never failed to make you giggle. And you were currently trying to calm your laughter and move on with the lesson.
“L/N, aren’t you having too much fun playing the teacher?”
Raven haired boy stood in front of you, one hand on his hip. You were not having this, not this time.
“L/N?” He squatted right in front of you and was now poking your shin. How irritating.
“That’s LADY L/N for ya.”
You looked down on him as you kicked his knee, pushing him onto the ground. You felt slightly irritated, but his mischievous smile made you feel fuzzy inside. You found yourself hoping that the look in his eyes mirrored yours.
---------------------
New Years and its festivals. It wasn’t exactly cold, but also not comfortably warm. Yet all of you met outside to bid farewell to the last 12 months and greet new ones. By then you were close friends, having spent so much time together. This was supposed to engrave them in your heart even deeper, there were so many firsts for you to experience!
First festival, first yukata, first dango, first Takoyaki, first shrine visit, first fireworks since you moved here… You’d never seen so many colours, so many food stalls, so many games and challenges in one place. They all reflected in your eyes, and he couldn’t get enough of that sight. But you didn’t know.
Tired after an intense tour, bellies and hearts full, you decided to rest on a bench near a shrine you had just visited. Honestly there was never a dull moment, even after spending so many hours together you were laughing like idiots.
Suddenly you realised one of your earrings was missing. It wasn’t expensive by any means, but you got it from your friends right before leaving your home country. People already started shifting towards fireworks viewing areas, so you hoped it would make the search easier in the now depopulated alley.
You felt as if you were running around in circles, yet this small piece of jewellery was nowhere to be found. Until you heard Bokuto screaming “I found it!!!”. You turned around towards the owlish boy running towards you, but you noticed something else. In another part of the festival area was Kuroo, apparently being confessed to. Your consciousness started to crumble, with a loud buzz in your ears.
“…like you.” Those words pulled you back to reality.
“Huh? I didn’t quite…”
“I like you F/N.” Bokuto didn’t let you finish. “I’ve always liked you, ever since I saw you in front of your school.”
“I’m… I’m sorry, really sorry, I don’t…” You felt the guilt rising in your chest, but he hushed you.
“I know, hey! Let’s go back to everyone!”
He seemed to be unfazed. You wondered if he really was.
“So uh… congratulations.” You heard Kuroo’s voice right before joining with the rest of the group.
“Huh? What are you congratulating me for?” An ominous feeling filled you at this moment, but you didn’t know the reason. Yet.
“For getting a confession obviously.” He tried to smile.
“Oh, I uh, I rejected it.”
You weren’t sure what to think of his expression. Was it shock? Surprise? Sadness? Frustration, or maybe… You didn’t have much time to figure it out, though. Girl you saw him with a moment earlier appeared, sliding her hand under his arm.
“But congratulations on yours!” You faked a smile, but your heart was being torn to millions pieces.
“I’ve made a mistake…” He didn’t expect it to actually escape his mouth.

kim seungmin + “I Love It”
This was requested from the Dean Title Track Prompt List I posted where you can pick an SKZ member and a song for a drabble fic
Word Count: 2.9k (idk if that’s considered drabble length)
Tag: kitchen sex, college!au, photographer!Seungmin
Summary: You and Seungmin rent a high-rise apartment for his birthday weekend. And, well, birthday sex...’nuff said.
You and your boyfriend checked into the apartment earlier this morning, wanting to spend some time together before he headed to the one class he had on Fridays. It was no burden to him, of course; an intermediate portrait photography course that he’s been so engrossed in.
But that only meant, shortly after you guys settled into your home for the weekend, Seungmin was pressing a soft kiss to your forehead before leaving you there alone.
You had taken painstaking care looking for the best apartment to rent, wanting something with tons of natural light that you and Seungmin got drunk on, but also a view of your fabulous city, Seoul. This was the gift you settled on for his 20th birthday which, unfortunately, fell on a weekday where both of you would be too busy with classes. 
The view, as you hoped, was incredibly lovely. From the wall of windows in the living room, you were able to see the sun as it continued to rise over the city. It was so calming, in fact, that you decided a nap would be in order after you took the time to unpack Seungmin’s and your stuff. The close you brought, the fruits and vegetables you washed, your favourite ground coffee sat next to the coffee machine.
It’s almost as if you guys actually lived there. Having a dream be a reality for so short of time could definitely be the spark to motivate you once you had to go back to the real world. 
And so, a couple hours later, you finally went to the bedroom, laying on top of the covers so as not to disturb anything too much, and allow the unfamiliar serenity of the new place lull you to much needed rest…
Maybe you’ve been slowly coming to for some time now, the room just as silent as it had been when you fell asleep. But even with your eyes closed, the presence of another life redistributes the quiet, makes an empty space feel more full.
And it’s the familiar sound of a light shutter that makes you blink until your eyes flutter open.
The room is much warmer than it had when you initially fell asleep. Even in the shadows of the bed frame, Seungmin seems to radiate the glow like the sun that is clearly setting from the windows behind you.
And, much like you had expected, Seungmin’s white camera is in his hands, a soft smile on his lips as he inspects the photo before looking up again.
He’s crouched down so your faces almost entirely leveled, close so he doesn’t have to raise his voice.
“You just looked so peaceful and beautiful,” he explains. “Wanna see it?”
You lift yourself onto your elbow so you can lean forward as he shows you the camera screen. And there’s a grin on your lips before you even notice.
Despite the subject, it’s still a wonderful composition, the sun a vibrant and warm orange spilling rays through the floor to ceiling walls behind the bed. The burst floats above your darker silhouette, but your relaxed features are still distinguishable.
“I love it,” you say. Your hand is already reaching for his face, wanting to kiss him while the serenity of the moment is still present.
You both drink in the moment, both are slow to press your lips to eachother’s and even slower to pull away.
“Happy Early Birthday, Minie.”
“What do you have planned for me this weekend?”
With that question, you readjust yourself, sitting up. Seungmin follows suit, coming to sit next to you on the bed while you explain the plan for the night.
“I figured we would cook our meal for tonight. So we’ll need to go to the market to buy meat. And we can get you a cake, as well.”
With the plan set, you both went about freshening up, Seungmin wanting to rid himself of the simple clothes he’d worn to university for the day, and you adding the smallest of makeup just to make yourself more put together.
Going to the market together reminded you of when you’d first started dating, Seungmin insisting on cooking for you because you were both young college students that didn’t have the means to always eat out. When you got back to his dorm, that was when you discovered that maybe his cooking skills relied more on ambition than technique. 
Even though it’s been a year and a half, it feels like so much has gone down since then. From sharing classes to being on opposite sides of campus, from late night study dates or photography adventures, you’ve grown to know Seungmin to a point where imagining him not in your life is kind of impossible.
“I’ll start prepping the vegetables,” he states matter-of-factly once you guys are back at the apartment. By now, the sun is further behind the city. You need to turn on the ceiling lights for proper illumination, and you’re seeing this space in a (literally) new light.
“Hey,” Seungmin calls to you, putting a hand on your elbow. You realize, then, that your mind had begun to wander, staring at your reflection in the window across the room. “What are you thinking about?”
It was a commonplace question for the two of you. Similar in the way that both of you tended to stay in your own heads, you both understood that all it took was a simple question to bring you back and converse with each other. You’d be lying if you hadn’t spent some nights just appreciating that aspect alone.
When you look at him, you smile wide, quickly popping up to kiss him on the jaw.
“I’m just really happy we met.” There is no other way to put it, even if it comes out bluntly. Even though the confessions of being in love with eachother have come and gone, it wasn’t common for you to just say those words. It was said in different ways; in the way he told you to worry about an assignment late and focus on yourself now, the way you asked him about whatever project he was working on in his photography class. Sometimes, like now, though, the words just need to be said as plainly and complex as they are.
“I love you.”
With his hand still on your arm, he pulls you into his chest. “I love you,” he repeats.
The moment passes easily and smoothly, and soon the kitchen is filled with a cacophony of sounds: meat sizzling in a pan, the overhead fan whirring to combat all the steam and smoke wafting the air. A jazz playlist blares from his phone on the island. Everything is so picture perfect, you think absently.
Seongmin must think this, as well, as he holds his camera up to his eye. You don’t even know when he retrieved it, but now he’s having a shoot of his own, taking shots that you can’t fathom look all that nice, but they’re endearing.
You turn the stove off as the meat finishes cooking, impatiently grabbing a piece to taste.
“Hey! Already starting without me?” teases Seungmin as he puts his camera down.
You scoff. “Head chef always gets to taste first.” At the playful pout on your boyfriend’s lips, concede easily. “But siux chef gets to taste, too.” And you feed him a piece he eagerly takes.
You don’t even bother taking the food over to the dining table, nor do you bother with using plates and dishes. Possibly you didn’t realize how hungry you both were, but there’s something so nice about just standing there, talking in between bites, laughing about random anecdotes.
“Is it time for birthday cake?” Despite phrasing it as a question, you’re already rounding towards the refrigerator where you’d put it once you got back from the store.
There’s arms suddenly wrapping around your waist, his chin hooking on your shoulder from behind.
“We have all weekend for cake. Kinda want you for dessert.”
Despite his words, you scrunch your nose up, looking at him awkwardly from where his face is. “Your reasoning is flawed, sir. You can have me all weekend, too.”
And, really, he shouldn’t look as adorable as he does when he raises his brows and widens his eyes. “Really? All weekend? It really must be my birthday.”
Your elbow is light to jab him from behind at his cheesy words. But he only gives enough room for you to turn in his hold. Your hands slide to rest on the back of his neck, your fingers having a mind of their own as they start to play with the hair there.
“And you ‘kinda’ want me? You’re gonna have to know for sure, Min,” you playfully reprimand. 
His eyes darken, smile falling from his lips. It’s an expression that commands attention, and you obey effortlessly.
“I’m still hungry, (Y/N),” he starts, his voice low. “How about I eat you, instead?”
You hum. “Cannibalism. Sexy.”
Luckily, he doesn’t pay much attention to your words, only swoops down to pull you into a heated kiss that leaves you breathless. He’s quick to lick his tongue along your bottom lip, dives in when given the slightest entry. Even though this is nowhere near your first time, your body always ignites with desire at how strong his passion drives him forward.
You lock your arms around his neck when his grip on your waist grows stronger, begging your body to be flushed against his. Pesky clothing aside, you can feel the heat of his body, the way his chest heaves with yearning for oxygen that comes as second priority to just consuming you.
But when he does break away, it’s to switch your positions, the island digging into your lower back as he goes back in. He tilts your head, licking into your mouth behind your teeth. He swallows the moan his actions illicit. They taste sweet going down, if it wasn’t obvious by the way he does it again and again.
You beg him softly. “Do something, please.” Sometimes he makes you impatient, makes you need him now. And just as you obey him, he never denies you what you want.
A normally gentle man turns quite wild, his hands heavy as they work to rid you of your shirt and bra. Your chin tucks into your shoulder while his lips trail down the other side, biting and kissing at your exposed skin. Your half-lidded eyes catch that reflection you admired earlier. The night now almost completely blackened with a sunless sky. Even though a world lives outside that window, all you can see is the scene it showcases.
You with your man buried in your neck, his fist clenched to the edge of the counter beside you.
Just as quickly, he brings you back to this moment in your own skin when he brings his lips back to yours. Now it’s your turn to work on his shirt, immediately going for his pants next. Without much fanfare, you wrap your hand around his hardening length, feeling a chill run down your spine at the harsh gruff it sparks from his throat.
“Later,” he says after some time of you languidly squeezing him up and down. “Worry about that later. Hop on the counter.”
You listen wordlessly, pulling yourself up until you’re sat on the edge of the surface. You start with your pants as Seungmin goes to a bag sitting on the floor next to you, where he pulls out a bottle of lube.
The moments slow, or maybe you’re just so focused on your boyfriend, but every move he takes, you register it in anticipation. Even as he fills your space, somehow crowds around you, you can hear the click of the bottle cap, 
What doesn’t cross your mind is how closely he’s watching you, as well. Surely, some of it is making sure that he takes care of you, but it’s also just because you can be much more expressive than you are verbal. And it’s so delicious to watch the way your brows twitch when he slides the first finger in, quickly following with the second. 
On some other nights, he’d take his time. Maybe you can save that for tomorrow, or when you make it to the bedroom for the night. Right now, however, his thumb is already on your clit, pleasure shooting through your nerves in the best way possible. It’s the type of pleasure that brews underneath the surface, and you can feel the way it bubbles up in your core.
He opens you nice, spreading his fingers inside you while rubbing circles on your bundle of nerves. When he curls his fingers inside, you jerk forward, arms wrapping around his shoulders, fingers carding into his strands and fisting there.
He groans at the way you clench around him, the way you feel so wound up. Should he let you cum now, with his fingers alone? 
“Cum, baby. Cum for me,” he whispers into your ear. You nod senselessly, feeling your walls fight to suck him in so you can never let him go.
When your orgasm finally comes, soft whimpers tremble from your open mouth. He removes his fingers slowly, knowing you’re still sensitive.
Slowly, you come to, sensing the world around you. The jazz music still lulls on, quiet sounds of brass and string instruments. 
But you don’t want to come down so soon. So you lift your head from where it rests on his shoulder. His gaze is still lustfilled, and your muscles jump, still wanting more.
“Fuck me, please?” It comes out as a question, though you both know it’s a given. One of your hands slither between your bodies, going back to your earlier action of stroking him. He’s already hard, and your mind drifts to the thought of him fucking you. 
In that moment you take over, mind still foggy from your orgasm. You fumble for the bottle of lube, unceremoniously putting some on your hand and wrapping it around his cock to slick him up.
With his eyes clenched shut, he rests his forehead against yours, taking a second to breathe before letting you guide him inside, taking him in entirely.
And your body never gets used to him, never gets used to how he seems to encompass you, makes you forget where your body ends and his begins. He must be magical to make you incoherent in this manner.
His thrusts start off slow and hard, almost like he’s savouring the feeling of you around him. And it’s tantalizing, the way his cock feels. Your body just wants to inhale him in any way possible. So you wrap your legs around his hips, pulling him even closer so he can just grind into you. The moan you let out is long and sweet to his ears, makes him want to hear more, taste more.
You kiss as best you can, one hand digging into your waist to keep you steady, while the other makes its way between your bodies. 
“Fuck, fuck-” you moan out at the feeling of his fingers rubbing at your clit. It’s painful the way the pleasure gets dragged through you again. But you love it, love the way it confuses your senses to the point that you can’t help but breathe out an airy laugh.
“(Y/N),” groans out Seungmin into your ear. “Shit you feel so good.”
His thrusts become irregular, and soon you find yourself trying to hold off, counting down the breaths until he finally cums, fucking into you so hard that you know you’ll be able to feel him.
And when that happens, your orgasm cums out through the trembles of your legs around his waist and your arms around his shoulders. He kisses you breathlessly as you both come down, still connected and basking in the moment of you intertwined.
When you pull back, you grin. “Happy Early Birthday,” you say again. You’re sure he’ll hear it a few times this weekend.
He smirks, finally pulling away. It always feels weird at first, to be empty. But he still remains close, and it’s enough.
“Happy, indeed.” His gaze stays on you, searching. 
It’s your turn to inquire, “What are you thinking about?”
He gives a heavy sigh, and you ready yourself for some heartfelt words that will sound incredibly cheesy.
“I think I want cake now.”
You shove his chest automatically, giggling just as he does. 
“How about we shower first. You never like the feeling of bodily fluids drying on you.”
He turns his nose up. “Why do you have to call them ‘bodily fluids’? That just sounds nasty.”
“Should I just say you need to clean your dick, then?”
Your legs feel like jelly when you slide down from the counter top, but you regain your strength quickly, walking back to the bathroom down the hall. Seungmin follows close behind, complaining about your phrasings.
When he grabs you from behind, your peripheral catches the reflection coming from the window in the bedroom. To feel so free in this way, you know this kind of life you could easily acclimate to. And just as you suspected, this is the plan for the future: to love him as he loves you, to be in your own world with him as everything around you keeps going.
Val’s Note:
Somehow this ended up being perfect timing since our Seungmin’s birthday is coming soon! It seems like the Seungmin smut tag is lacking, and I understand why. He’s normally just this adorable guy, even when he’s not meaning to be. But we’re not about to just fly by him during this era in particular??? Hello????
If you’d like to make a request for the Dean Title Track fic, you can do so, here!

Six Months
It's been a while since I've updated! It has been a little over six months since I challenged myself to focus on Persian. Although I haven't posted much on here, I have been trying to stay consistent with it behind the scenes. The intensity of exposure/studying of the last three months definitely decreased as compared to the first three. However, I made sure to get daily practice in even if all I could spare was ten minutes.
Anyways, below are my summary of how my skills have progressed over the last six months~
Speaking
In the beginning, this is the skill that I saw the most rapid progress in. Easy enough, as I was basically starting from zero. Even in college, I was never really challenged to speak. The only speaking I had to do was either in a small group or as part of the final exam (for which I memorized all my answers). The biggest reason for the giant leap though was no doubt the tutor. Getting a tutor was the scariest thing at the beginning but definitely had the biggest payoff overall. Not only did it improve my speaking, but all other skills as well. For the past three months, I have continued to make gains in my speaking ability, although they have slowed down. Despite all the progress, I would say this is my weakest skill.
Writing
Writing is definitely a skill that has plateaued. As my speaking skills trend stagnant, so do my writing skills. I am good at spelling, have good handwriting, and can copy effortlessly. The issue is expanding my thoughts and really fleshing out my writing. Although in writing I can definitely express myself much more and do so in a more grammatically correct way than when I'm speaking, I don't think I can really improve it until I gain some skills in my expressive language. I also have been practicing this skill the least. I'll write a diary entry once in a while, a few texts to friends occasionally, and complete a writing assignment from my tutor once in a blue moon, so I'm not really that surprised that this skill has seen minimal progress.
Reading
I'm not really sure when my fluency started picking up but I've felt a definite increase in fluency with my reading. By that, I mean two things. First, my decoding is much faster. I can see a word and instantly produce it either in my mind or out loud. If it's a word I'm not familiar with, then of course, it's harder - I just guess the short vowels (and am wrong 99% of the time). The other thing is my reading comprehension. So, maybe I can't decode all the words in the sentence or for some remember what they mean, but there's a greater chance of me understanding the gist of the entire sentence than before. I'm able to understand a greater percentage of what I read. It takes me less time to get through a paragraph than before. I don't really practice that much more than I used to; about 20-30 minutes a week. I think that my increase in reading comprehension is due to the fact that my receptive language has skyrocketed in the last three months.
Listening
At the beginning of the six months I couldn't understand anything. Just a few greetings, some commonly used verbs, nouns, and prepositions. I really started to panic when I was three months in and still not quite able to understand much. Listening to TV and music felt a little uncomfortable because I kept thinking I should understand more!! I think it started to solidify when I was watching Asheghaneh. I was consistently watching 40 minutes a day and focused for the most part. I was understanding more and more per episode. I finished all of season 1 lol but I'm still listening to Manoto and other content creators on YouTube. Now, my tutor will sometimes tell me anecdotes or make comments (slowly and related to the subject matter) and I will understand probably 90% of what she says.
Overall: I think consistency has been the biggest factor in increasing my fluency level and overall confidence in all skills. The intensity of my studies has taken a downturn, but being consistent and practicing to some degree daily has helped keep my skills afloat. The other huge factor that has really helped has been tutoring. It has forced me to express myself verbally enabled me to make mistakes and learn from them, as cliche as that sounds. With tutoring, I've also learned a lot about colloquial spoken Persian and, very importantly, I've learned so much about traditional and contemporary culture as well. It's been fun to compare and contrast American/French culture with Persian and the European country my tutor lives in. I was originally supposed to stop after 6 months and rotate to Korean , however, I'm nowhere near the level I wanted to be before switching so I think I'm going to continue for the next six months and re-evaluate then.
My whole life, I 've been told I'm "gifted" for languages. I'm not- I'm just curious and fascinated by them. Because of this it initially killed me that Korean and Persian didn't seem to be sticking whenever I tried to learn them. Through this journey, supplanted by updates to track my progress, I realize just how colossal of a task learning a language is (for me, at least). It's a lot more dedication and time than I had ever put in for a language before. I knew it took time but I was naive to the amount of diligence and consistency it required. I'd always assumed that since I was "gifted" all I had to do was sit in class, do my homework, and get good grades without any upkeep after. To a degree, I did learn that way but I lost all my skills just as quickly as I gained them because I never maintained them. I also never allowed myself to make mistakes; I memorized and "solved" grammar problems, erroneously assuming that my grade accurately reflected my level of acquisition.

Heartache is never easy.
Especially when it is still fresh.
A sigh escapes your mouth as you squint up at the ominous building. Already the cacophonies of voices swim around you like the wind, sending a sharp chill down your spine. You can do this, you remind yourself. You have before.
You rush through the doors and scan the crowded hall. You missed school the day before and now need an assignment for your calculus class. The first person you find that you share said class with makes you cringe—it is Oh Sehun. You bite your lip; contemplating whether going up to him is even worth the effort, but you really need that assignment, so you give yourself a pep talk as you make your way towards the tall young man.
He’s at his locker, lazily spinning the lock back and forth as you approach him. “Um, Oh Sehun?”
His head slants over to your direction, dark eyes piercing.
“Yeah?” He asks nonchalantly, popping the lock and opening the metal door.
“I, uh, was wondering if you could fill me in on the calculus assignment from yesterday? I missed it.” You hate how soft spoken you sound, but you realize that’s the only way you talk on campus now.
“We have Calc together?” He wonders. You nod quickly and he shrugs. “Never seen you in there before.”
You pout slightly but dismiss his comment, not taking it personally. Oh Sehun never really notices anything anymore, apparently.
“Well,” You continue awkwardly. “We do. So, do you have the assignment?”
He digs through his locker, ignoring your presence, but you remain standing there, pride holding you prisoner. As you wait for him to do something, your head turns on its own accord across the hall. There you see a familiar man leaning against his locker with a pretty girl pressed against him. The pair giggle and share a sweet kiss.
Byun Baekhyun.
This man once held your heart. Unfortunately for you, he decided to crush it into nothing but powder without any warning. 
For two and a half years he was your world. The two of you were deemed the Odd Pair because you came from different worlds, but somehow you both made it work.
He was the popular, smart, rich kid that everyone knew would own his own multimillion dollar business someday, and you were the quiet girl nobody seemed to notice.
But Baekhyun noticed you.
You and Baekhyun had been making plans for the future. Talking about colleges and whether to get an apartment together and the closest bus stops near campuses. Now there is nothing ahead of you. Baekhyun snatched your future and gave it to somebody else and now there is nowhere for you to go.
You are stuck.
Your breath catches in your throat and you try to focus back on Sehun, but your eyes are stuck like glue to the pair. The man cups the girl’s chin, thumb rubbing the flesh tenderly, and you feel the ghost of the familiar action on your own skin. Their happy faces blur, unshed tears obstructing your vision. You don’t try to blink the water back; knowing the fall of droplets will expose your weakness.
You vaguely register paper rustling and a pressure on your hand and your vision clears. You inhale sharply, like you’ve broken the surface of the ocean and notice the math assignment in your hands.
Sehun is watching you intently, you can feel it and when you dare to meet his stare you both stay like that for a long moment—having a silent conversation you are too terrified to actually interpret. Finally, he makes a noise in the back of his throat and closes his locker.
“Tough break,” he murmurs, throwing a strap of his backpack on a shoulder before spinning away, blending in with the rest of the school population.
“You would know,” you reply quietly to yourself, wiping the moisture from under your eyes.
~*~
You notice Oh Sehun quite a bit after the day at his locker. Notice him walking in the halls, somewhat aimlessly, taking his time. Notice him grab his lunch in the cafeteria and leave with it, never sitting with the rest of the students. Notice him in your shared calculus class, never interacting with anyone and always acing the tests. Notice him in the school parking lot, leaning against a rusty Monte Carlo as he puffs on a cigarette.
You notice how he is always alone.
He doesn’t interact with anyone. He never even seems to notice anyone else. He walks with his head held high, but his eyes glazed over, as if he’s going through the motions.
You notice how much he resembles yourself.
~*~
You have one class with Baekhyun—History, ironically—and decide that today you can’t do it.
So you skip it. 
It is stupid and reckless and the first time you have ever in your entire academic career done it, but you refuse to watch them act all lovey dovey. 
There’s only so much your crumpled heart can take.
You stealthily make your way down the stairs that lead to the gym but pause once you notice someone sitting at the bottom steps. You easily recognize the tall frame and wild bright orange hair and carefully slide to the bottom. Once your feet land on the last step, you find yourself sitting beside him for some reason, making sure to keep some feet between the two of you.
“Hey,” you greet nervously.
He only nods in acknowledgement.
You sit there silently staring ahead at nothing for five minutes. The whole time you fight with yourself, wondering why you are even sitting there in the first place, but you can’t deny how comfortable if feels. Especially the silence, it is well needed.
Finally, Sehun leans back against the giant banister and faces you. “So, how are you feeling?”
The question catches you off guard and your body jerks around to face him clearly. His sharp features are unreadable, but his eyes seem bright, the dark chocolate brown melting and twirling in what appears to be concern.
“I—I…It still hurts,” you stutter, still shocked by his sympathy.
“It gets better,” Sehun informs you in a quiet tone. He avoids your teary gaze, finding solace in watching his fingers knot together. “It might not feel like it right now, but it will.”
~*~
Oh Sehun.
Your Junior year Sehun was a bright friendly kid. He was a part of the male dance team and was dating the third most popular girl in school, Lee Hyunhee. The two appeared to be in love—at least, Sehun was genuinely head over heels. Baekhyun’s crowd somehow blended with Sehun’s—you assume populars stick with populars no matter what clique—so you had hung out with the pair a few times, although you wouldn’t have called Sehun a friend. You remember him being happy. 
But Hyunhee broke his heart.
Cheated on him with one of his ‘friends’ on the team and then had the gull to get angry with him once he found out. She broke up with him in front of the entire school, in the busiest hallway, and stormed off with his friend in tow.
You caught the entire fiasco. Watched as Sehun ran away as if someone were chasing him, all while gripping tightly to Baekhyun’s hand.
Now you held a similar pain.
Summer came soon after and once school started again he was different.
He was a loner. He didn’t address anyone, didn’t acknowledge anyone. He never talked and didn’t rejoin the dance team.
He became invisible.
~*~
“You really need to go to class,” Sehun softly scolds you as he watches you make your way beside him on the stairs.
You haven’t returned to your history class for a week now. Instead, you have been joining Sehun at the gym staircase.
Despite his statement, he scoots over a little, allowing you room on the step he was residing on.
“I can say the same to you,” you reply. He shakes his head in disbelief but you’re pretty sure you catch a small grin on his lips. “I brought us something.”
You yank your backpack onto your lap and rummage through it until you find the gift. Pulling out a brown paper bag, you hand it to Sehun who takes it graciously.
He peeks inside and pouts immediately. You can’t help but to be entranced by his eyebrows bunching together.
“It’s crushed,” he whines, pulling out the giant yet flat cinnamon roll you bought. 
You roll your eyes and snatch the dessert from his grasp. “It’s been in my bag all day.”
Taking a bite, you lean back on the stairs. “It still tastes delicious.”
Sehun sighs and you feel his fingers break off a piece. You study him as he chews thoughtfully.
“I guess you’re right,” he allows with a shrug. He then leans forward and takes a giant bite right from your hand.
“Ew!” You squeal, laughing loudly from his antics. He doesn’t join in though, just continues chewing with a look of content. 
Slowly. Slowly you and Sehun have been getting closer. You wouldn’t say you are friends just yet, but you are definitely more than acquaintances. 
You see yourself in him and you believe he sees the same in you. Both have felt heartache like no other, both of you have to look at the person who broke your heart everyday, both of you are still attempting to heal.
But now neither of you has to do it alone.
“Sit with me at lunch,” you say to a busy looking Sehun in your calculus class.
He scoffs, not taking his eyes off the sheet he’s finishing.
“Sehun,” you whine. “You never sit in the cafeteria.”
“Yeah because I hate it in there,” he murmurs.
You sigh dejectedly. 
“You can join me though,” he offers nonchalantly.
You blink up at him. “Really?”
He sits up slowly and finally glances down at you. His face is as unreadable as always, but his eyes are a dead giveaway to you, and now they sparkle with excitement.
“Yeah. I mean, why not?”
“Okay!” You agree quickly, a huge smile on your face. Sehun scoffs again at your reaction, but he doesn’t look away.
The two of you make your way towards the cafeteria. Sehun’s long lanky legs carries him a few steps ahead, and you’re sure he’s doing it on purpose, to keep eyes off of you both. You bring the book you’re carrying closer to your chest, trying as hard as you can to not draw attention to yourself, to stop your heart from beating any faster than it already is.
You can admit you’re excited. Sehun is slowly opening up to you and you feel honored that out of all the people he could do that to, he has chosen you. 
You glance up quickly and, of course, just so happen to lock eyes with Baekhyun. He’s talking to his close friend Kim Jongdae. His sentence carries as your eyes remain locked, but he quickly shakes off whatever it is he is thinking and continues with his conversation. You quicken your pace so that you’re closer to Sehun. He feels it and peeks over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow but you ignore it as the pair of you enter the cafeteria and join the line.
It’s silent as you grab your food and take Sehun’s lead to, unsurprisingly—although a tad disappointing—the staircase.
“So is this our staircase now?” You ask with your mouth full of food.
He starts coughing, choking on the bite he just took and you quickly pat his back and hand him his water. He chugs it empty and then pins you with his dark glare, eyebrows seeming sharper with his intense stare.
“I always eat here.”
You raise your hands in defeat. “But now I’m eating here too.”
“That doesn’t make it ‘ours’. I found it first.”
“And I found it second,” you shrug; enjoying the reaction you’re getting out of Sehun.
He glares at you again and you chuckle softly.
“Are you okay?” He asks, changing the subject.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” 
“Baekhyun.” His name alone causes your blood to run cold. “I saw him look at you on our way to lunch. Are you okay?”
“I….” Your heart is racing, but it is less because of Baekhyun and more because of Sehun’s concern for you. “I’m fine… now.”
“Oh.” Sehun blinks in surprise before facing away from you awkwardly. “Well, that’s good…then.”
The pair of you continue eating in a somewhat awkward silence for a chunk of time before Sehun is calling your name.
You turn towards him. He’s still facing forward as he clears his throat. “You know, you can…well, we can come here to eat lunch. That way you won’t feel the need to keep skipping history. I know you’re getting behind.”
You suppress a grin. “I’d like that, Sehun. Thank you.”
“Yeah, whatever.” He shrugs, eating again.
~*~
Time is going by and you’re finding yourself gradually getting over Byun Baekhyun. You deny the cause having to do with spending a lot of time sitting on stairs, that surely has nothing to do with you moving on. You’re relieved all the same, the stinging in your heart now a mute thud from time to time. School no longer is a chore to you—something you have to just endure. You find yourself actually looking forward to it, looking forward to him.
Your friend, Oh Sehun.
It’s mildly hilarious how in the span of a couple months you have grown rather close to the tall young man. You’ve seen sides of him you doubt most have in years and his odd charms draw you in like a spell.
That being said, you can’t find it within yourself to truly like him romantically. There is no denying Baekhyun took something from you when he left. Made you hard, and you are afraid to let anyone else get that close. Afraid of trusting someone just for them to turn on you without any remorse. 
And you know Sehun feels the same way.
Because there are times when his stare lingers a little longer than appropriate. Times when he accidentally slips and says something that makes you lose your breath. Times when he moves his body so close to yours you think you might burst into flames. 
But he always pulls back.
The reality is Sehun is just as broken emotionally as you—if not more. He never talks about Lee Hyunhee, and you’re too nervous to bring her up. There is this unspoken rule between the two of you that she is off limits in conversation. It’s as if you’ve built your wall out of wood and Sehun out of concrete, there is just no getting to him.
But that’s what makes the relationship work, the fact that you both understand that and try your best to help the other.
Isn’t it amazing how healing friendship is?
Not to mention refreshing. Having someone around who gets exactly where you’re coming from without any judgment is a welcoming feeling, something you lacked in your life. You are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s because Sehun is guiding you.
You just hope you’re doing the same for him.
Okay so yeah, you’re getting over Baekhyun, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t still feel some type of way watching him and his girlfriend being all mushy in your shared class with no regard of who may or may not be watching.
They sit directly in front of you and have been touchy since class started and you can’t take it any longer so you ask to go to the bathroom.
While wandering the empty halls, you consider skipping all together, but know Sehun would rip you a new one so you just continue to the bathroom. 
On the way back you hear some voices and pause.
One of them sounds like Sehun.
“I saw you with her.” The other voice, a female, says coldly.
There is a scoff as a reply and now you know that’s Sehun.
“So what if you did?” He snaps. “It’s none of your business who I hang out with. It hasn’t been for a year.”
“So I can’t be concerned for you?” She counters. The question confuses you. Who is Sehun talking to? “Sehun, I still care for you no matter what happened in the past.”
“You never cared about me, Hyunhee!” Hearing her name is like having a bucket of ice cold water poured over your head. “You broke my fucking heart! Someone who cares about someone doesn’t do that!”
“Sehun,” Hyunhee purrs and you scowl. Unable to fight it anymore, you peek over the wall out into the hallway they are in. Just as you expected, Hyunhee is resting a hand on Sehun’s taunt forearm. “I’ve always cared about you. And regardless of what I’ve done, I still consider you a friend. So, as your friend, I’m telling you that hanging out with her is bad news.”
Sehun squints his eyes at the beautiful girl. “Why would that be bad?”
“Because she uses people, Sehun. She used Baekhyun and now she’s using you.”
Baekhyun? Was Hyunhee…talking about you?
“That’s ridiculous,” Sehun dismisses and you swell with pride.
“Is it? Byun Baekhyun is the most popular guy in school and he left her. He was her ticket. Now that he’s with Choi Somin she has to find someone else. The thing is nobody wants her.”
“But I’m not popular.” His voice softens drastically and it makes you nervous. 
“Oh, yes you are, Sehun. You will always be one of us. No matter how hard you try to shut out the rest of the world. We all still see you.”
He remains silent and it urges her to continue. “She sees it, Sehun. You’re vulnerable. She can manipulate you.”
Your body moves on it’s own accord and before you know it, you’re right in front of them.
“Sehun,” you call his name loud and clear. They both turn towards you. Hyunhee does with disgust and Sehun in a daze. He blinks at you lazily.
“Sehun,” you repeat, your voice now lowered to almost a whisper. Tears spring in your eyes and you bite your lip to hide the trembling. “You don’t honestly believe her do you?”
“Looks like it’s time for me to go,” Hyunhee says, collecting her bag from the ground. She throws a look at Sehun. “I’ll talk to you later.”
Neither you nor Sehun break eye contact as Hyunhee saunters off, clearly satisfied. 
Your chest heaves and your hands curl into fists. You’re pissed, but don’t know at what exactly. 
Sehun murmurs your name but it doesn’t hold any warmth. 
“Please,” you beg. “Please tell me you don’t believe her.”
The bell rings, but neither of you register it. Doors swing open and students pile out in waves, yet you both stay frozen staring at one another trying to convey your true intentions.
Sehun’s emotions are always bared to you through his eyes, but right now you can’t decipher anything and it’s driving you crazy.
You’re also drawing attention. Those walking around you slow down and take in the stare down with curiosity. You can feel their eyes on you like pinpricks and it’s adding on to the rising anxiety. You’re going to burst at any minute you can feel it.  
Your name is called and you jolt as if being awoken. Byun Baekhyun is cautiously making his way towards you, girlfriend in tow. They both seem apprehensive, but it might have more to do with the aura around you and Sehun, who is still glaring at you unblinkingly.
“You left your stuff,” Baekhyun says. His eyes jump from you and Sehun but he doesn’t say anything about it. He clears his throat. “I thought I’d bring it to you because, well… yeah.”
You’re speechless. Your throat burns painfully as you take your bag from him and bow thankfully.
“I…” Again he takes in Sehun’s frame. He then leans in closer and whispers with concern, “are you alright?” 
You break. 
Gulping back the bubble forming in your throat you glare at him. “How could I possibly be alright, Baek?”
He flinches at your hostile tone and the use of the nickname you had given him.
“I just… Sehun’s glaring and… you look upset—I—”
“There are people here who think I only dated you because you are popular and that leads me to believe you believe that! I gave you so much of me! I gave you two years of my life and you just left me, Baekhyun! You left me!”
You are yelling now and a crowd is forming, but you are beyond reasoning right now. You never got closure with Baekhyun, never sat down and discussed anything, you guess now is a better time than any.
“I want to hate you so bad for what you did to me. You destroyed me yet have the gull to be friendly and bring me my stuff all the while your girlfriend—my replacement—is right there! You are so cruel, Baekhyun. People think I used you, but the truth is you used me!”
Baekhyun’s face is flaming red with embarrassment. He keeps opening and closing his mouth but nothing is coming out.
A hand wraps around your arm and you see Sehun through blurry eyes.
“Let’s get out of here,” he says. He tugs you gently out of the hall and everyone parts for you. Once you’re out into the parking lot you break down. Loud sobs shake your frame violently. 
Suddenly, you’re engulfed as Sehun wraps his arms around you and pulls you into his embrace. This only causes you to wail harder, soaking the front of his shirt with your tears.
“That’s right,” he encourages. “Let it out, Babe. Don’t keep it in anymore.”

More than a disease
Pairing: Remus x reader
 Request: Hi! So i had this idea with remus x reader where they're learning about werewolves and some kids make rude comment about them being monster and she gets really heated up saying that it's not like people choose to become a werewolf cause they've got nothing better to do, they're turned against their will and you can't judge people for things they can't control? And remus goes up to her after the class and they start spending time together and develop feelings and remus feels nice knowing that when he is ready to tell her about himself she will take it well?sorry it's so long also change whatever you want you're the writer
 A/N: I don’t know if anyone who’s reading this watches Supercarlinbrothers on youtube but they have this theory that once Dumbledore became the headmaster if they couldn’t find a DADA teacher for a year he would fill in (because let’s be real, how many people do you think are applying for a job which they know will only last a year. For 50 years? He’s going to have to fill in sometimes), so I’ve rolled with that here.
 Wordcount: 1.5k
 Warnings: I don’t think there are any, just some fluff here!
 Remus couldn’t help but watch the (y/h/c) girl as she walked to her desk, chatting animatedly to her friend about something he couldn’t hear, but wished he could. Anything she could talk about with that much passion had to be worth listening to, even if it was something as mundane as cauldron sizes. He’d been trying to work up the courage to ask her out for a while now, they shared a few classes together and always had the most interesting conversations, talking about anything which was on their minds. There was just one thing stopping him, and that was his monthly transformation.
“It’s page 394 in your textbooks today.” Dumbledore smiled as he walked through the classroom. This would have been about the only thing which could have broken Remus’ thoughts. 394. He knew that page, he had memorised that number, hoping the day would never come. Today was the day the class learned about werewolves, and he was hoping to god that nobody would make the connection to him. He quickly flipped open his book, pretending to study the page with fascination, although of course none of the information was new to him, or to his three best friends, who were currently all trying to do the same as him.
 The lesson was going as smoothly as Remus could imagine it being, the class silently taking down notes from the textbook and from what Dumbledore was saying, as he described the signs of spotting a werewolf and more. The lesson went smoothly, until near the end.
 “As of yet, there is no potion or remedy to the symptoms of lycanthropy, to help the human turned wolf retain some of their own mind during the transformation. Because of this, there is a strong prejudice against werewolves in the wizarding world, which I encourage you all to consider yourselves, and decide whether this is fair.” Remus winced slightly at Dumbledore’s words, he appreciated them and the kind sentiment they contained, but he knew how easily they could trigger a conflict in the class. And just as he predicted, this was exactly what happened.
“Yeah, we should just let these dangerous monsters walk among us.” Severus Snape spoke up from the other side of the classroom, a smile on his face. Remus threw a warning glance to his friends, begging them not to do anything and draw attention to him, that was the last thing he needed. It seemed his friends weren’t the people he needed to worry about arguing against Snape, as a voice he would recognise anywhere piped up hotly.
 “Hey, do you think they chose this life?” She shot back at him, rising from her seat with her hands balled into fists. “Do you think they volunteered to never be able to find a job, to have everyone not even give them a chance? To not be trusted? This is a horrible thing they’ve had to go through, a tragedy thrust upon them without permission.” Her voice was rising with every sentence, and all heads were turned to her, mostly in shock. Sure, she wasn’t the type to sit silently in the back of the class but this was definitely out of the ordinary. “It’s people like you, people who just write them off as if they’re nothing more than a disease, you’re the problem. I would rather spend my life with a whole pack of werewolves than one second in your company.” You spat, chest rising rapidly with your heavy breathing from the agitated state you had worked yourself into.
 Remus couldn’t help the hope that flooded into his chest as he took her words in. She understood him, she didn’t think that he was a monster. If she ever knew, she would see past his disease to the person that he was. He desperately tried to fight the smile which was edging onto his face, but failed miserably, tilting his head down to try and hide it, but a newfound confidence surging through him.
 “Thank you, Miss (y/l/n).” Dumbledore spoke calmly, gesturing for you to take your seat. You did so, blushing a little but still with a determined glint in your eyes. “And it seems we’ve arrived at the end of the lesson.” He was quick to assign you homework before everyone gathered their belongings and started to leave the classroom. Remus told the boys to go ahead and that he would meet them there, as he hovered outside the classroom waiting for her to exit. She did so a couple of minutes later, a guilty smile on her face as she spotted him.
 “Detention.” She shrugged lightly as they started to walk to lunch together. “Couldn’t have expected less, really, I did start shouting in a classroom. I think he agreed with me though, because it’s a detention with Hagrid, which means it can’t be anything too harsh and he probably is just doing it to try and show he has no bias, which is completely fair. Besides, I would spend all night doing manual labour for Filch if I had to, some things are more important, you know? I’m glad I said that, I think it needed to be said. Don’t you agree?” She finished her monologue looking up at the boy, hopeful expression on her face as she asked him the question.
 “Go on a date with me.” He blurted out, unable to stop himself from asking after she literally stood unbeknownst next to a werewolf and went on a tirade about how any punishment was worth her defending them. Her eyes widened slightly, but so did her smile.
 “I would love to, Remus.” She replied, hesitantly leaning up on her tiptoes and pressing a delicate kiss to his cheek, giggling at the goofy smile this left on his face.
 Since that moment, the months had flown by, filled with many dates between them as autumn turned into winter and the pair had grown inseparable. Although it was extremely irritating when they tried to steal her away to spend time with them instead, Remus was incredibly glad that his friends got along with her, too, and even in the time they had spent apart over Christmas, an owl arrived at his window every day with a new letter from her. Now, January was drawing to a close, and he knew that he was ready to tell her his secret.
 They had borrowed James’ invisibility cloak, to sneak out to the grounds and find a secluded spot where they wouldn’t be found, to just lie and look at the stars. She was currently pointing out different constellations to him, and although he already knew them he felt like he was learning all over again listening to the information coming from your mouth. “And that’s the star that Sirius is named after.” She said, pointing to a star slightly to their left, which shone brighter than the rest. They were silent for a few minutes, laying comfortably in each other’s company before she spoke up again. “What do you want to do when we leave here?” She asked, a question that seemed to come out of nowhere. He turned his head towards her, propping himself up on his elbow to be able to see her face better.
 “Why do you ask?
 “I don’t know, I think we’ve just been asked to think about our futures a lot, lately, haven’t we? Being in our last few years here.” She spoke, the stars shining in the reflection of her eyes. “I think I want to work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.” She mused, and Remus felt his heart flutter slightly, that same care that had encouraged him to ask her out all those months ago showing itself as it so often did. “I think that’s where I can help people the most. What about you? Any ideas?”
 “I… don’t think I have much of a career to plan.” Remus admitted, taking a breath and knowing this was the time to tell her. As she predictably asked why, he spoke into the cool night air. “I’m a werewolf, (y/n). I know you know how hard it is for us to find any job, let alone a full career.” He barely even had time to worry about her reaction before she had quelled it, a bright smile lighting her face.
 “I wish other people could see past this disease, Rem, because you’re so much more than that.” She reassured him, scooting closer to him and resting her face in his neck, pressing a soft kiss to his collarbone. “You’re much too smart to be overlooked because of a choice you were never given.” He could hear her sighing faintly, wishing that she could change everything, to give him the life that he deserved, to make people see him for who he was, not what he turned into. “Well, I guess this just means that I’m going to have to do really well in my job, to help the boy I love.” Their laughs mixed together in the darkness around them. Together, she would help him through the tough times, the rejections, and she would always fight her hardest to help him and others like him. But more importantly than that, he knew that she would always love him, and would see him as more than his condition.
