I'm interested in making uquiz with a high number results like you do. Do you have any advice? Would it be possible to see any of the material you use to keep track of the questions, answers, and results? Thank you in advance.

hey! yes, tons of advice, and i'd love to see/share your final product! :)

i love making huge quizzes because it forces you to really think about the defining factors of each of your results and make multiple overlapping groups. i think there's two ways of getting started with this that really depend on the scale of your quiz.

the colors uquiz is a good example of how to keep things a little more simple. each result has three defining attributes: shade (light, medium, dark), color category (red, blue, monochrome, etc), and blend (so orange could have a red blend, a yellow blend, or no blend). all questions in the quiz are split into either a "shade" question, a "color category" question, or a "blend" question, so at the end you get the result that has your top options for each. when deciding how many questions to have for each category, i consider how many options there are within that category. for the colors quiz, there are three shades, three blends, but nine color categories, so there are more color categories questions. from there, it's really up to you to decide what each "means", which is your creativity as a quiz creator. you can say anything means anything as long as you sell it in the result description and make it feel accurate to how your quiz taker answered the questions. beige is my favorite color so i made that a soft, gentle, warm option -- and got a bunch of people grumbling about getting beige, but saying it fits, which is what matters :P

so while i definitely recommend a very simple framework for your first uquiz, the categories get complicated very quickly! for example, in the dnd uquiz, each question corresponded to either race or class... but there were 14 classes and 30 races, so then you need to start making sub-categories. for class, these can be things like martial vs spellcasting, INT vs CHA, patron vs no patron, etc. for race, maybe things like typical biome, magical ability, cultural values, etc. consider how these embody what you have decided "race" and "class" represent. i decided that race was who you are, and class was what you do. all ways that i divided the races was to emphasize some aspect of a person's identity (their archetype, their vices and virtues, what is their home) and all the ways i divided class was to emphasize some aspect of a person's choice (what weapon do you pick, how did you defeat the enemy, who do you want to become). in short, giant quizzes are easier to design when you have more potential categories (race, class) with less potential options within that category (barbarian, ranger) -- they're harder when you have less categories and many many options within that category.

so definitely start an excel sheet! i always have a tab for questions and results. in the questions tab, decide what each category each question answers, something like this--

i can't remember if these are the final questions that made it into the quiz, but this is how i start! you can see on the side different categories of the pokemon uquiz -- i tried to make it easy on myself by making a ton of categories... but tbh i think the pokemon quiz is really hard for me to edit because there are SO many categories and adding in pokemon takes a lot of research for each one (type, secondary type, ability, EV yield, catch rate, contest type, habitat...) haha.

in your second tab you'll want to have all of your results and record what answer each will get on your quiz. this can even be dummy coded as "1" "2" "3" etc for each answer option; the important part is making sure each question has an equal (roughly) number of results per answer. for some things this isn't possible -- if there are more grass-type pokemon, for example, then you can consider combining two groups, so maybe rock/ground is a single group instead of two separate ones, if that helps make the options more equal. so here's how it'd look using the dnd classes as an example:

(i'm usually shy about posting these because i don't want people to disagree with my choices LOL)

so you can see each answer has relatively the same number of results assigned to it, and that each result has unique answers across all questions. you want to pick your questions such that no two results have similar answers -- just differing by one or two questions. if you're finding that two of your results are two similar, consider what questions would really get at the heart of their differences (or how you as the quiz creator perceive them to be different). for example, i viewed barbarians and monks as classes that are martial and depend on their party for company/skills, but split them apart in how they're viewed (barbarian as anger, monk as worldliness), how they would dispatch a foe (barbarian as killing in their rage, monk as choosing pacifism and surrender), and who they'd become (barbarian as merciless and monk as the martyr). this is just an attempt to keep your quiz balanced, even though no quiz is balanced haha. the large uquizzes i think are "more" balanced in that while there will be the most popular results (druid and bard for this quiz), the percent of people getting that result is much lower than if you only had 5-10 possible results.

so you've picked your possible results, considered how they can be divided into categories, considered what questions address those categories, and made sure each question has balanced answers. in a large quiz which is going to have a lot of questions, making sure the quiz doesn't feel exhausting to take is huge, and the ordering/phrasing of your questions plays a large role in this. you don't want too many possible answers per question (i feel like 4-5 is a sweet spot, or 2 if it's sort of a rapid fire question), but you also want your quiz taker to feel like an answer represents them. make sure your answers are distinct and clear. play around with how you write them -- you can make one sound more confident and one sound more hesitant to get at the psyche of your quiz taker. try not to make any of them sound too negative. while objectively some people are more selfish than others, for example, you'd want to phrase a result that's like "I keep it all for myself" to something more like "I make sure my needs are addressed first." you could also develop a sort of "narrative" to your quiz as a way to keep people entertained (which i tried to do with my dnd and atla quizzes). don't put questions with a lot of possible answers right next to each other; if you feel like you've had your quiz takers really need to contemplate a lot of questions, throw in a "rapid fire" one that doesn't take a lot of thought. this could be something as simple as whether they're a day or night person, whether they're an extrovert or an introvert, whether they prefer coke or pepsi... something that people tend to know about themselves already or it's clear which answer they should pick.

the final piece of advice i have is for the result descriptions. these can be EXHAUSTING to write. when you have 100+ or even 400+ possible outcomes, writing each one individually will probably make you want to die. come up with a template for each so you're only writing 1-2 unique sentences. i tend to write a sentence for each category of the result, and then a descriptor that combines the two. for the dnd quiz, there were so many possible options that i didn't even do that LOL but also i figured that most people were familiar enough with dnd that the results could speak for themselves... so for example:

[You are a halfling fighter.] <- standard

[The halfling are cheerful folk who foster tight-knit communities. They strive to find peace, happiness, and good company, able to feel at home anywhere so long as there is a warm fire and plenty of laughter.] <- halfling description

[Those of them who choose the path of a fighter are the most practiced of all: they are masters of their chosen weaponry and battle tactics, willing to push themselves to their full potential.] <- fighter description

or, the reason why it took me so long to finish the daemon quiz remake:

[Your daemon would take the form of a cuckoo!] <- standard

You are a

[resourceful and aloof individual who knows how to get the best payoff with the least amount of work]. <- unique, cardinal traits of the overall result

More so than others with [strisore] daemons, those with

[cuckoos are manipulative and know what others want to hear. They are faithful to themselves and their intuitions, and they are extraordinarily clever people who are excellent at problem-solving.] <- unique, cardinal traits of the secondary quiz

[When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider your cuckoo's coloring and species. A darker-colored cuckoo may indicate an individual who is more cunning and private, while a lighter-colored cuckoo may indicate an individual who is more sly and charismatic.] <- copied between birds that have dark/light plumage shades

[If you're happy with your daemon's form, give them a name. Daemon names can be any length but are typically something unique. Play around with names and sounds until you find something that speaks to you!] <- standard

find what works for you, but honestly the longest part of these quizzes is entering all of the possible results and writing the end descriptions. the excel sheet is actually my favorite part, and then the real works starts haha. usually once i start entering the quiz, i play around with the order of questions and tend to rephrase things, and sometimes need to go back to my excel sheet if i decide to scrap a question or completely change an answer. but generally i've found that this is the process that works the smoothest!

hope this helps, looking forward to your quiz! :)

2/3: Leaving Asakusa + a night clubbing in Shibuya (?!)

We had to check out of our Airbnb in Asakusa at 10 am, but we couldn't check in to our next Airbnb, which is in Tsukiji, til 4pm, so Charles and I had a few hours to kill.

We spent most of it wandering around the streets in Asakusa we had been staying in, to make sure we didn't miss anything cool! It really was a lot of walking around and trying different foods, and the proprietor of a chicken stand we REALLY liked tipped us off that there is actually a small amusement park right in the middle of the neighborhood, and suggested we walk around its perimeter to get a look.

This was the chicken place, it's literally just called Asakusa Chicken haha.

This was our breakfast; it was at a chain called Sukiya, which specializes in gyudon (beef bowls) but we ordered their breakfast meal, which was a piece of fish with some sides! There's a big bowl of rice with natto (fermented beans), lil bits of onion, and a raw egg on top; a miso soup, and a like....macaroni salad? It was like macaroni salad with carrots and mayonnaise? Natto is a very aquired taste, but Charles loves it. There's kind of a trick to getting it to taste right and not be kinda stinky and weird. I had an iced coffee, with coffee jelly at the bottom -- you can see it in the dark stuff mixed in with the ice at the bottom of my cup!

The amusement park is called Hanayashiki Park! We couldn't get too many photos sadly, but it was cool to see!

Charles and I spent some time on Hoppy Street, which I think Charles will probably make into a separate post!

While wandering, we found a small shrine to Tanukis on the grounds of Senso-ji temple also. Tanukis are Japanese raccoon dogs!

Charles and I also killed some time by doing a sake tasting at a place called Marugoto Nippon, which was a souvenir shop kinda set up more like a mini marketplace, with goods from all over Japan as well as local to Asakusa for sale. There was tons and tons of tasty food, especially spices and sauces that looked awesome.

Finally we packed it in, and headed to our next stop in Tsukiji. We wanted to stay there because there is a massive fish market there -- more on that in a future post. But its main business hours are in the morning thru the early afternoon and there was no way we were gonna make it in time for that, at that point.

Here's some views on the way to Tsukiji!

We took a rest for a while, and then I pulled the trigger and decided to do something I'd been flip flopping on for a while -- a record label I follow called Neoncity Records, had announced a little while back that they were going to be having a show featuring several of their artists in Shibuya, during our stay. These are artists constantly on repeat for me, that I listen to allll the time. Initially, I kind of had talked myself out of going, because I felt like I didn't NEED to go, and I wasn't sure if it was fair to drag Charles out to something I wasn't sure he'd be into, since it's really not his kind of music. But he assured me probably a hundred times that he didn't mind, so I bought the tickets and shortly thereafter we took the train into Shibuya.

Shibuya is another area with lots of nightlife and tons of shopping -- I think most people know it for Shibuya Crossing, a massively crowded and busy intersection in the heart of the city. We actually crossed it on our way to the venue! But before the show, we took an hour or so to go to Shibuya Parco, which was basically a huge mall. On the 6th floor there was a Nintendo shop (I really had to restrain myself from buying all the Animal Crossing things I could get my hands on, but it was mostly home goods and we don't strictly have enough space to justify all that stuff), another Pokemon Center and some other stores as well.

Next up, time for the show! The venue was at a spot called Tokyo Circus, a nightclub! It was a tiny little venue, with a bar on the ground floor, and a second bar, the bathrooms and the stage are below ground.

This is the flyer, so you can check out the lineup. I wasn't as familiar with Daviouxx, Lagchun or Milk Talk, but I'm a big big fan of Neon Vectors, Vantage and Macross 82-99! Without getting into it too much, and I'm sure there are folks out there who would debate the nitty gritty of it, but all of the music here falls somewhere under the umbrella of City Pop or Future Funk, Future Funk being a subgenre spinning out of Vaporwave! I don't know if that's at all interesting to any of y'all but if you're curious, ask me about it sometime!

Everyone was AWESOME, Daviouxx started the show off while the crowd filled in, and it ended up being a PACKED HOUSE. Lagchun started off, and performed some Cantonese city-pop songs which I'd never heard before but I totally want to look for now, and I'll definitely be checking out his music going forward. Milk Talk is a duo that mixes funky guitar sounds with soft vocals that I think Charles liked the best, and then Neon Vectors, Vantage and Macross had wild DJ sets. I kind of didn't know what to expect from the three of them, even though I've listened to so much of their stuff for years, so I was a little surprised that the evening took on the vibe of a rave, but honestly it was really cool to be around a group of people as super hyped about this very niche genre of music that I love! Also I was really lucky that I got to get suuuuuper close to the stage, so I had an awesome view the whole time! I'll probably repost some of the music from these folks here, and maybe post some of the videos I took later! At the end of the day, I'm really glad that I ended up going! These events don't seem to happen very often, and certainly not anywhere near where we are on the east coast, so I know if I had ended up not going, I would have been super sad.

We're still a few days behind posting here, but we've definitely got plenty to catch you all up on!

Emmet's Adventures in Babysitting - Part 1 (Alola)

Emmet had to take a second to think back. He looked around at the seven heads around him, each one with a Pokemon containing powers he could not even imagine, all with eager eyes hellbent on one thing and one thing alone: him. How had he even gotten here?

Word Count: ~2300

He had started in the next region over, Alola. He stepped off the boat, finding the hotel that Elesa had helped him book. He checked in, passing out on the soft hotel bed for a couple hours before arising again at the crack of dawn. Time to get started. He released Eelektross and Chandelure - one for company, one to help him find Ingo. Chandelure could sense his soul from two towns away. If he was here, she would know. Eelektross was simply a comforting presence for Emmet.

He changed into a short-sleeve button up, a light gray top with a train on the breast pocket. He grabbed his coat for the familiar weight before deciding to tie it around his waist. The slacks he wore seemed a little stuffy, so he rolled up the pant legs and grabbed the new shoes Elesa had also insisted he take. They were much more heavy-duty than the ones for the train station, with thick rubber soles and heel inserts that Elesa said could handle more muddy and rocky terrain. Lastly, he fastened the small satchel to his waist that he had hooked from Elesa’s. She had laughed and said it would ‘certainly be a look’ on him, but she didn’t seem to mind. It was a decent size, out of the way, and left his hands free. It was a light tan leather pouch with a couple zippers. A camera dangled around his neck, at Elesa’s insistence. She wanted to see photos of everywhere he went. He clasped his team’s Pokeballs to his belt and grabbed his wallet and keys, then set off, placing his conductor’s cap on his head as he shut the door behind him.

The first thing Emmet noticed was the sun. Unova got decent sunny days, but it was nothing like this. This sun felt like it was imposing itself on him, forcing itself to be known all around the region. The sunlight felt heavy here, like it was bearing down on Emmet’s shoulders. No matter. He could push through this. He marched his way through the streets, trying to figure out where to start. Alola was split into four islands. So, he’d search them one at a time! He opened a map that he conveniently had gotten from the boat. Currently, he was standing on the largest island, Ula Ula. He’d simply have to search all of it before moving onto the next! And so he started scouting the entire island, starting from the outside and working in. He moved along beaches, marching along with his two Pokemon in tow as he made his way all the way around the island, then proceeded towards the center. He stopped along the way, asking if anyone had seen Ingo and taking the occasional photo. No one had.

It took most of the day, but it was obvious Ingo was not on Ula Ula. So, he decided to try the next island, Akala. His Pokemon forced him to retire his engines for the evening and refuel, but the next morning he was back at it again with fire in his steps. Eelektross was getting a little dried out from the direct sun, so it opted to stay in the ball today. Instead, Excadrill joined Emmet with Chandelure on his journey. They again walked the perimeter, moving inside the island. This one was smaller this time, and this time, he met someone more interesting.

He was striding through another small town in Alola, asking every single person in sight if they had seen Ingo. After another negative response, Emmet kicked the dirt in frustration. It was only this one region, though, and Ingo had never really been one for sunlight, anyway. It was okay! There were plenty of places! He turned to walk away when he heard someone shout, “Hey! Get back here!” Emmet spun on his heel to see a young Trainer by the looks of it, no more than thirteen. They were chasing after a small Pokemon that Emmet had never seen before. It was small and had a bubble around its head, with many legs skittering along the ground. It actually reminded Emmet of Galvantula. It was heading right for him. Excadrill and Chandelure assumed attacking positions, but Emmet motioned for them to stand down. It didn’t look aggressive. It skittered up to him, clicking its mandibles at him. Tentatively, Emmet reached into his satchel and pulled out Galvantula’s favorite Poffins.

“You remind me of Galvie. Do you like these too?” He bent down and offered the snack to the odd bug type, who sniffed it curiously before taking it. It chittered at him happily, consuming the treat before pointing at his Pokeballs. “Would you like to meet her? She’s friendly.” Emmet released Galvantula, who looked around in confusion before seeing the weird water bug. She clicked her mandibles at it, to which it responded. They both communicated for a few minutes before Galvie turned to Emmet and waved its front two feet at him, asking to be picked up. “Galvie, you are too big for me to pick up. You know this.” She clicked at him a few times in distaste and just climbed him like a lightpost, settling over his shoulders and on his hat. She was not light. “Galvantula, this is not the time nor the place-”

“Sorry, mister! She just ran off suddenly, I don’t know what got into her. Here, I can get her away- whoa, what kinds of Pokemon are those?” The child had now caught up to the Pokemon he was chasing. He was staring at Emmet’s Pokemon, stars in his eyes. Emmet made sure not to make eye contact, thankful that the child was focused on his Pokemon and not him.

“I am Emmet. I am from Unova, as are my Pokemon. I am visiting.” The boy pointed up at Chandelure.

“Is that a fire ghost type? We have one of those in Alola too! I hear that typing is super rare!”

Emmet’s smile widened. “It is. That is Chandelure. This is Excadrill, and this is Galvantula. It seems your Pokemon has taken an interest in her.” Galvantula clicked a few times in response. Emmet reached up and pulled her off of him, setting her on the ground, much to her disdain.

“She’s so cool! Is she an electric type? And is that a ground type? I need a ground type for my team so bad,” the kid whined. Emmet almost laughed. “I’m trying to finish the Island Challenge but the last Kahuna is so hard! That’s why I’m trying to train up Araquinid, so that she can handle the ground types!” he announced proudly. Emmet tapped his chin.

“Would you like to battle me? Perhaps facing my ground types would teach you something.” The kid’s eyes lit up again as he started to vibrate intensely with excitement. It made Emmet smile. It reminded him of himself, in a way.

“Oh, yes please! I love Pokemon battling!”

“How would you like to do a Doubles Battle? I like combinations of two Pokemon.”

“Sure! I wanna see what other Pokemon you have!” Emmet nodded. He felt the same.

He got into his normal position, striking his pose. He tipped his cap and pointed outwards. “I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. I like Doubles Battles. I like combinations of two Pokemon. And I like winning more than anything else.” He tossed out Haxorus and Excadrill, shouting, “All aboard!”

The child sent out Pokemon he had never seen before including a grass-type that he referred to as Decidueye, Araquianid, a Toucannon, an oddly colored Muk, a large dog-like Pokemon with spikes around its neck, and a Pokemon that resembled Marowak, but not like any Marowak that Emmet had ever seen. For starters, its bone was on fire and it was a deep purple. It seemed to be a ghost type?

The battle was absolutely enthralling, and in the end, it was very close. Both challengers were down to their last Pokemon and Emmet’s Eelektross managed to paralyze the boy’s Marowak, making it seize up before it could give the final blow. Their Pokemon retreated from the battlefield, Emmet healing up both of their teams again. He released Chandelure and Excadrill to stand alongside him again. The boy pumped his fist into the air, despite having lost. “That was such a cool battle! I’ve never seen Pokemon like that before, or seen anyone fight like that before! That was awesome!” Emmet grinned.

“I am Emmet. I won against you. You are verrrry strong. I hope you ride with us again!” he scripted. The boy didn’t even blink at his odd word choice.

“Does that mean you’re a regular fighter? Back in Unova?”

“Yes. I run the Battle Subway. I am a Subway Boss.” The boy watched him.

“My name is Elio. Someday, I’d like to battle you again! I want to get stronger and visit Unova so I can beat you!” Emmet smiled. He always loved a good rematch.

“I look forward to it. I have a question.” He leaned in a little, the boy not even flinching. “Have you seen a man who looks like me? But wears all black?” Elio shook his head.

“No, I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone like that around here, either. But I can keep an eye out for you! Is he missing?” Emmet looked away from the boy, staring into space.

“Yes. My brother, Ingo, has been missing for two years. I am searching all the regions for him. I miss him. I need him back.” Elio nodded, his eyebrows crinkling as he cocked his head.

“I’m sorry, Emmet. I can keep an eye out in Alola for Ingo. I really really hope you find him!” The boy paused. “Here, what’s your phone number? In case I find him, I want to let you know that he’s here and safe.” Emmet happily punched his number into the teen’s phone, briefly wondering if this was in any way against laws here. It wasn’t in a weird way, so it couldn’t be, right?”

“How long are you going to be in Alola? You seem super cool and I want to battle you again!”

Emmet blinked. “I am guessing two or three more days. I will assess Alola for Ingo and if he is not here, move on to the next region.” Elio nodded, his eyebrows creasing.

“Do you want to join me, then? I was about to head to Melemele Island. Have you checked there yet?” Emmet shook his head no. “If you want to come along, you’re welcome to! I need to train up Araquanid and there’s a good spot for that over there. I know the way!” Emmet curiously followed after the boy, smiling. This boy was interesting. He liked him.

Emmet traveled with Elio for four days. Elio managed to beat the last Kahuna as he called it, and then disappeared for a short while. He re-emerged the next day with the legendary God of the Sun, Solgaleo and a wild story to tell Emmet. Emmet simply nodded and asked for a battle. Emmet won again. Elio then went on to become the first Champion of Alola, right as Emmet finished combing Poni Island. Emmet informed his young companion, who he grew to appreciate more and more, that he was prepared to move on to the next region. Elio actually ran up and gave him a hug, surprising him. “Thank you for joining me, Emmet. I do have a small favor to ask of you.” Emmet tilted his head as the boy detached himself, looking up at Emmet. “Do you think I could travel with you? Fighting with you made me want to see all the regions in the world and meet more Pokemon. And fight in more battles! And I could help you look for Ingo.” Emmet thought about it for a moment.

“I will not deny you. But I know your mother will wish to have a say in this.” Elio’s eyes widened.

“Oh, yeah! I should tell my mom that I’m going. Can you wait for me? She’s over on Ula Ula, which the boat departs from.” Emmet just nodded. He was already getting used to the idea of company on his journey. Maybe it would make the trip more bearable.

Emmet and Elio got to Ula Ula and Elio led him down a long path to a small, quaint house. Emmet stood off to the side, not entering or approaching the house as Elio entered, petting a Meowth on the head as he disappeared inside. Emmet stood outside, rigid as a statue except for his foot’s incessant tapping against the sand. Emmet had temporarily switched out his footwear to be open-toed due to the amount of sand in Alola. His face, ears, arms, and feet were all severely sunburnt. Part of him was excited to leave Alola. He looked out over the waves of the ocean, seeing some Mantine and Mantyke playing in the distance. Chandelure, floating at his side, let out a soft ghostly whine. “We’ll find him,” Emmet said. All was silent again until the door opened, revealing Elio and a woman who looked like him. She waved. Emmet waved back, smiling as always. The pair made their way over to Emmet.

“Mom packed us snacks for the boat ride!”

“Thank you for agreeing to take him, Mr. Emmet. Elio has told me much about you and how he looks up to you. I know he’s capable of taking care of himself, but I don’t want him disappearing into the blue on me! Just… Please keep him safe, alright?” Her choice of words set off some alarm bells in Emmet’s head, but he pushed them down. Elio was looking at him with concern, noting the odd phrasing himself.

“I am Emmet. The safety of my passengers is of utmost importance.” was all he said as he nodded, tipping his cap. The two boys left, Elio’s mother smiling and waving to them. Emmet pointed, shouting “All aboard!” to no one in particular as they made their way to the pier, in order to board the ship for the next region.

Pummeling

Pairings: Felix Hugo Fraldarious x Reader

Warnings: None

Author´s note: First fanfic I´ve written(excluding the pokemon fanfic I wrote when I was thirteen....), Felix may be a bit OOC, english is not my first language so feel free to point out any mistakes, constructive critisism is welcome!

“What? Why would you pledge for me to surpass you?”

“Because your dream is my dream”

The smile on her face after she said those words were ingrained in his mind. The memory of their meeting at the goddess tower after the ball as fresh in his mind as if it was yesterday, when in fact it was a month or so ago now. For the entirety of the time Felix had known her he never saw her as more than a good sparring partner, never letting his glances stay a bit too long on her form(definitely not), not so much as sparing a thought to the cute smile that only started showing itself now and then a couple of months into her residency at the monastery(why would he?), and absolutely never ever imagining a future with her by his side(preposterous!), but now, the (non-existent!) feelings he harbored started to bloom, and he was filled with unease at the amount of butterflies in his stomach everytime she would get a little bit too close, or gaze at him with those unreadable eyes. He feared with each passing day his feelings would be harder and harder to suppress, he had a reputation to uphold after all. He didn't particularly care about what other people thought of him, but him “suddenly” getting a crush or even feelings akin to love would indeed result in unnecessary prodding by his classmates, and that thought alone made him want to smash his feelings straight into the ground.

He fixed the angry scowl on his face as he made his way to the training room, nothing like a sparring match to the death to get him to at least momentarily forget his own feelings predicament.

Alas, fate is a cruel mistress and the first person Felix saw upon entering the training room was the person he so hopelessly tried to pry out of his mind.

Swiftly grappling your opponent to the ground you held him with his arm behind his back waiting for the “Uncle!” that eventually came from all those who even dared entering the sparring ring with you.

“Uncle!”

Releasing his arm immediately you got up from the ground before helping the poor boy up as well.

“You did good Deacon, take a break.” You said, patting his shoulder, not quite realizing your own strength, making Deacon wince at the force before removing himself from the sparring ring. You looked on as Deacon weakly limped through the large oaken doors, passing by a scowling Felix on the way.

“Here to get your ass kicked?” You challenged the raven-haired male. This kind of teasing would have been impossible for you a couple of months ago, but Garreg Mach, and the students, your students had brought something out from the depths of you, everyday a tug of war between feelings of camaraderie and the threat of the outside world. That wasn't the only reason you had taken to teasing the grump who stood before you though, no, you noticed a few months back that your teasing brought out the most adorable interesting blush on his face, a very subtle pink tint to his cheeks, his ears an angry red.

“I should be the one asking you that.” He answered, still the same angry scowl plastered on his face, both the angry tone of voice and faint blush bringing a familiar sense of totally professional and platonic excitement to your heart.

Your only answer was a chuckle as you went to get your training sword while Felix got ready in the ring. The match soon began, the two of you trading blow after blow, you continuously gaining back the upper hand every time Felix got a taste of it. This continued for about 45 minutes, Felix getting more and more irritated, even more so than usual, letting out frustrated grunts and his movements getting sloppier by each passing minute.

“Seiros, what ́s going on Felix? You ́re not your usual cheery self today.” As soon as the words left your mouth you realized that maybe it wasn ́t the best time to tease him, he obviously seemed to have something on his mind.

“Shut up! It's none of your business!” He growled between swings, still trying to come out of the sparring match victorious, but both of you knew that that wasn't going to happen, not when you so easily deflected his overtly aggressive swings.

“Somethings obviously on your mind, even if you don't want to tell me, you should tell someone, it's affecting your performance, you're not going to achieve your dream this way.” You said, just putting your foot straight in your mouth again as you cringed inwardly. Seiros, Felix isn't the only one who needs help, what is wrong with me?

“My dream!? If it wasn´t for my dumb dream I wouldn´t have these idiotic feelings for yo-” Felix stopped suddenly, drawing back his sword and looked at the ground, an unusal shocked expression on his face. Your heart was racing in your chest, and not only because of the exertion from training. You tried to quell the hope rising in your heart, you needed to help him with his problem, professionally… as his professor... who had nothing but professional platonic feelings for him.

“You have feelings for me?” Your voice sounded a bit too meek for your liking, a little bit too hopeful. Felix just screwed his eyes shut, still with his head hanging towards the ground. Did he not hear you? Swallowing the uncertainty clawing its way up your esophagus you cleared your throat and tried again.

“You have feelings for me?” Yes, very professional, it didn't at all sound just as timid as last time.

Felix raised his head, face sweaty and loose strands of hair clinging to his forehead, and looked to the side, huffing, “Yeah, I feel like you ́re annoying and given the chance I ́d pummel you into the groun-”

“Gee, thanks” This time Felix didn ́t get to finish because you interrupted him. You couldn't really help it when the disappointment flooded you. An awkward silence permeated the air while the two of you stood still, neither looking at the other. Well, you were officially done with this day, you decided as you turned around to leave the training room, like a professional, not at all like a pouting child.

A groan sounding behind you made you halt in your tracks.

“Goddess damn it… I like you. Alot.” He said, punctuating the sentence with another deep groan. Turning around you saw the blush you'd grown to love on his face, this time in full force. His cheeks blossomed into an angry red, his deep frown permanently etched into his features, and even though the two of you just had quite a rigorous sparring match, you knew that his cheeks hadn't been that red earlier. Your heart beat happily in your ribcage and you couldn't hold back the full, joyous smile that spread across your lips.

“I should be the one telling you that.”

Bonus:

He tried to fight the smirk threatening to overcome his face, he really did. But seeing you there, sweaty from the sparring match, taking deep breaths and cheeks flushed with a rosy hue(looking just as beautiful as the first time he laid eyes on you), he couldn't stop the twitch of the corners of his mouth.

Seeing him trying to hold back his smirk you just rolled your eyes, walking up to him to take his face in your hands and lightly pressing your lips against his. He reciprocated immediately, and pushed one of his hands through your sweaty locks of hair. You still felt that infuriatingly handsome smirk against your lips, and you couldn't have that, could you?

Felix landed on the ground with a grunt, your hands pinning his to the dirt floor.

“Seems like I'm the one pummeling you to the ground, huh?”
