Ice and shadows
Tumblr media
Pairing: hockey player! Azriel x fem! Reader
Warnings: cursing, lots of fluff
Summary: headcanons about hockey player! Azriel
Hockey player! Cassian ● masterlist
Tumblr media
Azriel is defence, He's the quiet and fast one that is nearly invisible on the ice if you don't pay attention to him.
His sneaky ability to not be seen isn't put to use just on the ice to suprise his opponents. He especially likes to use it when scaring his beloved wife, you.
You waited for Azriel to come back home from yet another training. The playoffs are close, and they are working harder than ever. He stays there even longer than his teammates, scared of failing once again - no one on the Velaris team wants to lose in the semifinals like last year. They made stupid mistakes that couldn't happen again. All of them will make sure of it.
With lids feeling heavier every second, you try to still pay attention to your favourite show. It will surely keep you awake until Azriel arrives home.
Long yawn left you as something touched your shoulder. With scream, you jumped up. Now awake and aware with a feeling of adrenaline. You quickly grabbed the vase that was on the coffee table, on which you nearly fell. Ready to fight any intruder that could come in your home. "Woah, who knew I married such a dangerous woman." Focusing your eyes and slowly calming down, you realise that the scary intruder is just your husband finally home. With that, you put down the vase and jumped on him, wrapping your legs around his waist. "Never scare me like that again," you whisper into his lips. "I wouldn't dream of it." He finally kissed you with plans that will keep you awake for the whole night.
Azriel isn't exactly the type to force you to wear his jersey to games. It's up to you, you can wear whatever you want. He can fight. But oh, mother, when you wear his jersey, it awakes something in him. You having his name on your ass and in your passport is dream come true for him. He is thanking the stars every night for blessing him with your presence.
It was an important match today, the whole Velaris team stressing about it for weeks. This match will decide which team will go to playoffs. Azriel left long ago, which left you home alone with a lot of work. You didn't mind, though. At least you could take your mind off the potential loss that can happen today.
Being finally done with all chores, you decided it's the time to start getting ready. It's better to be there sooner rather than later. Knowing that Azriel doesn't play well without his good luck kiss. Your heart nearly stopped when you checked the time. The game starts in twenty minutes. It's nowhere the time you wished you would have. Your hair is still messy, dressed in Azriels shirt without make up you started running around the house, trying to get ready as fast as possible. Glad for the fact that the stadium was 5 minutes from your home if you ran. Swiftly putting on stray pants that were on the floor, where you threw them yesterday, grabbing Azriels jersey you run out of the house. Your feet took you to the stadium in a record time of three minutes, quickly finding your way to the cabins where the players are probably now doing the last steps of their pregame routine. You open the door while taking deep breaths. "Azriel". Azriels shoulders visibly releax, "you came." He whispered like he thought you forgot, like you wouldn't come to support your husband in the second thing that mattered the most to him. "Of course I did"
As said before, Azriel has to have his good luck kiss, or he just can't play well. Everybody teases him for it, but behind his back, they are begging you to never skip his game. The one time it happened was enough.
Fortunately for everyone, it was just practice match before the season, where it didn't exactly matter if the team won. But every match mattered to them, no matter with whom or when. They are here to show they are the best.
That's probably why everybody was taken by suprised when Azriel was clumsy on the ice and couldn't keep balance. His usually incredibly fast skating turned into woblly slow skating. It got that bad he himself decided not to play that day, saying that he just can't.
Azriel never exactly told anyone it was cause you didn't came to the game and weren't his lucky charm. But it was more than clear to anyone who isn't blind.
Since that day, you had to come to every game. And if you couldn't, well you suddenly could. Because Cassian has no problem with stealing you away and bringing you to the game
"No, Cass, I really can't come. I have to do this work. I can probably make it in time for third period, but I'm not sure." Explaning your reasons to Cassian was harder than anyone could ever imagine. He didn't understand that you had work that had to be done today or that your boss would literally kick you out. Sometimes, you feel like your boss is secret hater of your boyfriend, and that's why he tries to keep you in work longer, just on days when he plays. "You will come, we don't care about your opinion." Cassian responded stubborn as ever, "well I don't care about yours too. " With that, you left the call, finally doing papers given to you by the boss.
Ten minutes in someone barged into your office, putting you over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Cassian! What the hell are you doing?!" You yelled at him, keeping your anger at bay, or you would have to punch him. "Saving the match" confidence and pride dripping from his voice. You lifted up your head, looking at him with an annoyed look. "Fine." Crossing your arms letting out a sigh still swinging over his shoulder, "but I swear to gods, if I get fired, you will send me money every month"
Don't think that your relationship with Azriel is any secret or not medially famous. It's quite the opposite.
You two are the most famous and loved couple in hockey word. Sometimes, Rhysand is jokingly complaining about how you're stealing his spotlight and becoming more famous than the whole team.
People love to edit you two with cute songs and use every cute clip that is on the internet.
The most famous being moment where he is on the ice sending you kiss after scoring a goal. Or where someone recorded you two while skating on public ring, Azriel having to hold your hands so you don't fall. It resulted in both of you falling because some kid bumped into you.
Not to mention that Azriel loved taking you to all of his interviews. Like all of them.
Reporter wanting to have an interview with him without you? Nope, it's not happening. You two are double version, it's not possible to get one without the other.
"So Azriel, tell us, what was the biggest motivation for winning this match? Was there something - perhaps someone you won this for?" Azriel nodded his head and looked at you, love sparkling in his eyes. " Of course I did. Like every match. " The camera captures the way his hand snakes around your waist, with feathery like touches caressing it.
"I won it for my wife"

KEEPING UP WITH THE LECLERCS
Tumblr media
Warnings- poorly translated French, childbirth, not very well edited, cuteness, babies idk ahha I think that’s it
Summary-The little moments of welcoming Charles and y/n’s first child into the world
Finding out your pregnant 
You and Charles and been together for years. Dating two years before he proposed to you and you became Y/n leclerc. Charles always wanted to be a dad he loved growing up with his brothers and always dreamed of having a few little kids so they could replicate the relationship he and his brothers had. You and him had decide to spend the first year of your marriage together being in the ‘ honeymoon stage’ although you had gotten off any sort of birth control months ago because whatever will be will be that’s your motto.
Now at the age of 24 and 25 here you were about to be parents, well 9 months away from being parents. You leaned on the bathroom counter as Charles stood in front of you holding the stick that read two lines ‘Pregnant’. You and Charles were going to be parents. You were going to have a little cute tiny baby. Charles was going to be a dad and you knew he would be the best dad, everyone saw the way he acted with kids in the paddock it always made yo ur heart hurt and your ovaries explode but you knew one day it would happen for you and that day was today.
“ We’re gonna be parents Cherie! You’re gonna be a mummy” He had a glimmer in his eye or maybe it was a tear but either way he was over the moon. 
“ and your gonna be a daddy, the best daddy” 
He moved forward to put the test down on the counter and put his hands on your stomach
“ I can feel it, it’s in there, baby”
“ Charles that’s just my stomach rumbling, there is something in there but the baby is to small for that to be what your feeling” I laugh 
“ shh let me have my moment, I’m gonna be a daddy, our little boy”
“ so it’s a boy” I raised an eyebrow
“ well I have brothers so it’s understandable for it to be a boy the baby is my child”
“ ok whatever you say leclerc, now can we please eat dinner now or anything I’m starving”
“ 5 more minutes” he said still holding his hands on my stomach
Yeah he’s going to be the best dad
Telling friends and family
Charles could not wait to tell his friends and family about the baby, but of course you made him wait because you wanted to wait until you were at least 12 weeks to tell anyone like it was recommended. So as soon as you were 12 weeks charles was already organising how he was going to tell everyone.
First he told his mum and brothers. He had taken you all out for dinner all families.  You both sat at the table next to each other and when he squeezed your hand you knew what he was going to do. He coughed to get the attention back into him.
“ uh…. I have an announcement, me and Y/n have an announcement I mean” he spoke
“ omg a divorce, uh it was only o a matter of time, y/n just know that I am hear for you your going to be ok without him” Arthur spoke coming to rest a hand on my shoulder
“ what no no we are not getting a divorce sit back down” Charles looked irritated at the younger brother
“ don’t get to defensive y/n will come to her sense’s one day” Arthur spoke
“ shh thur, yes Charles we are listening” Pascale broke the brewing argument apart
“ well me and y/n are going to have a baby” Charles revealed
“ oh my Charles that’s amazing I couldn’t be more proud” Pascale jumped up to hug her son and daughter in law giving them multiple kisses
“ aww damn y/n now your really tied down to him no escaping now” Arthur still got up to hug you though but received a slap on the back of the head from Charles 
“ fermez-la” ( shut up ) Charles growled 
“ I’m so happy for you guys, uncle Enzo sounds pretty good to me” Lorenzo stood up hugging you and patting Charles on the back.
Having their good blessings meant the world to you and Charles it made very thing 100 times better.
As well as his family he also had his other family his off grid friends Joris, Riccardo  and Marta .you were currently all at Marta and Riccardos house in Monaco all sat springs the living room. And just like with the family Charles speaks up.
“alors nous avons une petite nouvelle à vous annoncer” (so we have abit of news to tell you).
“ pourquoi avez-vous toujours des nouvelles” ( why do you guys always have news )  Joris responds humorously 
“ Eh bien, je pense que tu vas aimer cette nouvelle”( Well I think your going to like this news ) Charles smiled 
You handed Charles the ultrasound picture and he took it from you before laying it out on the coffee table
“ Qu'est-ce que c'est ça “ ( what’s this ) Marta spoke as she leaned toward to pic up the image holding it in her hands
“est-ce que je pense que c'est? es-tu enceinte” ( is this what I think it is are you pregnant ) she questioned 
“ oui” ( yes ) I replied
“ eeeeee “ Marta jumped up to run and hug me and jump around
“ Bravo mec” ( congrats mate ) Riccardo and Joris got up to congratulate their friend
“Attends tu dois voir ces petits vêtements de bébé y/n chaira a grandi si vite j'ai des sacs et des sacs de vêtements à te donner” ( Wait you have to see these little baby clothes y/n chaira grew so fast so I have bags and bags of clothes to give you ) Marta was definite more excited then anyone else so far.
“ il y aura des meilleurs amis comme nous “ ( there going to be best friends just like us ) I smiled back at her
“ aww c'est le meilleur bews jamais “ ( aww this is the best news ever ) she squealed as I followed her up stairs
“ Préparez-vous mon ami pour les hormones, puis les pleurs sans fin et les changements de couches de ce bébé “ ( Prepare yourself my friend for hormones and then endless crying and diaper changes from that baby ) Riccardo patted Charles on the back 
“ Tout en vaudra la peine même si cela ne me dérange pas” ( It will all be worth it though I don’t mind ) Charles smiled to himself
But the hardest challenge was telling the other drivers so you left that up to Charles. This time it was very much informal. He simply told them when he saw them on that track not really wanting to make to big of a fuss in public places as you still had yet to announce your pregnancy. 
First was Max. 
To say he was excited was an understatement. He was over the moon for you and Charles already taking about how the baby and Penelope could be the best of friends and how he and Kelly would be able to babysit whenever they need. Being a kinda stepdad to Penelope meant max already has experience with kids so he was already giving tips and offering advice 
“ I’m sure Kelly has heaps of bags of P’s old clothes we could give you and y/n” max offered
“ That’s very nice I’m sure y/n would love to look through that with Kelly one day, but we may not need it as I’m sure it’s a boy, just a feeling” Charles replied
“ every man thinks he wants a son until he gets a daughter and then he realised he can never live anything more trust me” max leant out his hand to rest on Charles shoulder again giving him his congratulations.
Carlos and lando were well carlos and lando about the whole situation.
“ hey my man does have some skills in him, I’m proud of you my friend” carlos said about the whole announcement.
“ that baby is going to be so attractive like look at you and look at y/n”…. “ hey watch it norris trays my wife and baby your talking about” 
“ what I was only telling the truth” he replied like a child who had been scolded 
“ so do you know the gender? A little Leclerc or a little y/l/n?” Carlos inquired 
“ no we don’t yet and either way it’s going to be a little leclerc you dumbass” Charles laughed
“ yeah yeah you know what I meant” Carlos rolled his eyes. 
Telling pierre was probably the highlight to Charles his best friend for many years. He was so excited to break the news and see his reaction. 
“ Sweet man your gonna be a dilf” wa Shia first answer to the reaction
“ uh what’s that? “ Charles asked 
“ or maybe you’ll just be a weird old man who can’t keep up with the trends” Pierre patted his back sympathetically
“ wow thanks for the support my friend”
“ no really I’m happy for you guys, and for myself of course I’m going to be the cool uncle and now I get to hang with a baby but also be able to give it back and not have to worry about it myself” 
“ remind me to never let you be alone with my child” Charles looked judge meant all at pierre 
“ what are you saying I’m not the god father?” Pierre put his hand to his chest in fake offence
“ calm down I’m not saying anything yet drama queen”
“ yes that’s right I’m the queen of godfathers” Pierre shouted and Charles face palmed himself in the face. This was the guy who was his best friend…
Gender reveal 
Today was the day. The day that Charles was so much more excited for than anyone else in the whole wide world. Your gender reveal. You had decide to do an intimate reveal just the two of you. You were going to do the trend with the wine glasses and the cake where you put the glasses in the cake and pulled it out to reveal the coloured dye within the cake.
Currently you and Charles were sitting in your back garden in a picnic rug ready to reveal the gender of your little bean.
“Still think it’s a boy” I inquired
“ yes but I really don’t mind either way Cherie as long as I have you and this baby I’m happy” Charles leaned in to give you a kiss on the lips
“ now can we please get on with this I need to knowwwwww” you laughed at his excitement as he was practically going to burst with anticipation 
“ yes yes ok let’s look away and put our glasses in” you both turned away from the cake
“ you ready?” You asked
“ yes hurry up” 
You both put your glass into the cake 
“ 3,2,1” 
Pink the icing was pink you were going to have a little baby girl
“ a girl” Charles remarked
“ a girl” you replied with a big grin on your face
You both leaned in to hug one another charles planting a kiss on your forehead
“ your not upset it’s not a boy” you inquired still engulfed In his arms
“ a friend once told me a man always once a boy until he has a daughter and realised he can never love anything more, so no Cherie I’m not upset one bit”
Baby preparation 
The next few months we’re hectic with Charles attending races and you staying home to work on the nursery and get things done and ready for the baby, all with the help from yours and Charles family’s and Charles himself of course as he spent every minute he was home doing something baby related. 
The room was coming along nicely. It was very girly and it was just they way Charles wanted it. From the flower wallpaper and little pink blankets to the thousands of colourful outfits in the far to big closet for a baby. Charles instigated on buying anything he saw for the baby from toys to clothes and anything to make her room even more beautiful than it was. “ it needs to all be fit for a princess” he would say . And of course you let him do it thing because really how can you say no to him
“ we need a name” you spoke up one night when you and Charles were sitting on the couch after dinner. Your legs were drawn over his lap and he was rubbing circles on your thighs
“ I suppose we do, right now?” He replied
“ well not right now but we do need some ideas”
“ I think I want her middle name to be Jules if that’s ok with you” he looked over at you
“ of course that’s such a pretty name and a nice meaning for you and her too”
“ I’ve always kinda known I wanted to incorporate that into my child’s name if your sure your ok with that” he looked into your eyes
“ of course i am it’s beautiful” you replied moving to snuggle further into him as he smiled and kissed top of your head.
The arrival 
It was a warm night in Monaco. June 16th to be exact. You and Charles were well asleep until you were woken up to a sharp pain in your stomach. Your eyes shot open and you places your hand onto your swollen belly.
You leaned over to see the time read 1:45am. You didn’t want to wake Charles yet incase it was only Braxton  hicks you were feeling so you attempted to go back to sleep.
1:50
1:55
2:00
2:05
2:15
It was to much you couldn’t take it and that when you felt it. The cold drizzle of water down your leg and onto the bed sheets below you.
That’s it
“ Charles” you gently shock him
“Mmm” he hummed
“ Charles my water broke”
“ WHAT” he jumped up
“ my water broke she’s coming” 
“ ok ok calm down it’s alright you, you put some clothes on and I will get the bag then meet you in the car” he spoke frantically 
I got out of need to put some sweats and a jumper on I didn’t really care about my apparence at this point in time.
But Charles was still pacing around the house
“ Ok si seulement je peux me rappeler où j'ai mis ce foutu sac” ( ok if only i can remember where I put that bloody bag ) he mumbled to himself
“ it’s on the bench by the door over there” I spoke up from the bottom of the stairs and he jumped in fright
“ Cherie don’t sneak up on me like that, ok ok I got it let’s go let’s go move women” 
I smacked his head“ you will not rush me Charles Marc Herve Perceval leclerc”
“ ok sorry darling my bad” he spoke as he rubbed where I had slapped him.
3:30
3:35
3:50
4:00
4:30 
“ Charles how could you do this to me” I yelled all sweaty as I pushed a live human beating from me.
“ I know I’m very sorry, if I could take this all away I would” he spoke as he was rubbing my hair and holding my hand at the same time. His poor hand was probably broken by now
“ well you can’t physically take the pain away cause your a boy so SHUT UP DONT MAKE PROMISES YOU CANT KEEP”
“ ok ok Cherie I’m sorry I’m sorry but she’s nearly here you’re doing amazing”
“ it hurts Charles it really hurts, I don’t think I can do it”
“ no none of that yes you can your the strongest women I know, she’s nearly here ok just think about how cute she will be and how excited you will be when she’s here” he softly stroked your head.
“ ok mrs Leclerc one more push ok you can do it hun” 
“ see one more push you got this you can do it” he whispered encouraging 
I pushed as hard as I could then I heard the little cries. I feel back into the bed tears flowing down my face. Happy tears.
“ you did it shes here omg she’s beautiful” 
“ here you go momma your beautiful baby girl” the nurse spoke as she placed your daughter on your chest
“ Charles look she has your nose” 
“ she’s… she’s”
You looked up at Charles and he was crying unable to get the words out
“ she’s you Charles she’s gorgeous” you cried as well
“ hi baby I’m your daddy” 
“ the best daddy” you smiled
“Cherie I now know what max was talking about” he smiled stroking your daughters head
“ welcome to the world Indy Jules leclerc” you whispered
And like that the Leclerc family had started to form

Hello 2024
I did a thing:
We know there will be lots to look forward to but if you find yourself with some time, please read the book, Beyond the Story.
A lot of things that are confusing, especially to those who weren't around since 2013, can be understood more clearly through the words of the members in the book.
If you can, watch the docuseries Beyond the Star. So much information from them, in their own words, their tone of voice, and in context with what they are trying to communicate, adds another layer of context.
And watch the recent HYBE Labels series that explains what T&D is... their staff become emotionally attached to their trainees too. To see them bloom into fully rounded artists that take off on their own journeys must be an amazing experience. It helps to have real human faces to associate with "the company."
The series should be eye-opening for some. I hope it is. Hearing that Namjoon and BTS formed the foundation for how they develop trainees... imagine that... huh...
You will learn so much about them and how they got to this point.
That's not to say that they didn't work hard, that they weren't pushed, that they didn't question themselves, but the big picture is that they were young, making it up as they went, both the members as individuals and the company itself. Bang PD had the experience but he also had other ideas that broke away from the normal.
Not to mention the enormous pushback, bullying, downright hate, they received all through it. I don't know how they kept going.
It took years for them to be able to stop, take stock in what they'd accomplished and how they got there and then decide what they wanted to do from then on. And then they did it again this past year, choosing to forge ahead as a group with their company.
I believe they indeed talked about ten, twenty, even thirty years and have tentatively outlined what they want to accomplish. I think they are working their way toward whatever it is they envisioned.
Nothing is a coincidence but I bet a LOT is serendipity.
On another note, my two that I pay closest attention to...
Jungkook tried all year to tell us they were a pair. And Jimin... bless his heart. What a handful he has, right? Maybe they are both a handful for each other and that's why they are together right this minute.
Jimin sort of intimated in his last live that after MS he can do whatever he wants without hindrance, whether he means pushing the envelope with his creativity or just being able to work without anything hanging over him...
And Jungkook is apparently building a wonderful and securely-walled place to live that will be ready for when they're discharged. Very large for one person and a dog...yeah, it's huge.
Just my own thoughts here: at this point, with everything we know, the possibility could be that Jimin and Jungkook may live together following MS. There will be enough room in that place for sure, 5 levels? 12,000 square feet? It's huge. Why wouldn't they? That's just my own thought.

Close Ties (Daemon Targaryen x Female Reader) (Modern AU) (Non canon) (18+)
Read Chapter 8 // Series Masterlist
Chapter 9
Summary : Trip to Japan with Uncle Daemon doesn't go as planned but that could be a blessing in disguise.
Warning: 18+, dad's best friend trope, canon (we don't know her..don't like don't read), feeling of hopelessness, slight uncle kink if you squint, familial uncle niece sort of relationship but he's not really her uncle, there will be more smut later, significant age gap but reader is in her mid twenties, mention of infidelity, divorce, smoking and alcohol drinking, physical violence implied
Tumblr media
You were in your room at your parent's house packing for your trip to Japan, sure you had a place of your own but since you frequented here often you made sure to keep the majority of your belongings here as well, besides you had your flight with Daemon in three hours and didn't have much time to spare.
“Lingerie ..yup ..keep the lingeries..he may not touch you yet but he sure can look”
Daemon had told you to go see him in his room before heading downstairs. Was he going to kiss you? You had no idea, he was such a tease and very unpredictable.
You were excited to go see him when out of nowhere Cassandra came rushing into your room..
“Babee auntie just told me you're leaving for Japan”
You heard her voice so you gave her a fake smile, like a coward you still had not confronted her, but it's been two weeks since you had seen her last so that was good progress right?
“Yeah it's a work thingy with ummm Uncle Daemon” you told her so she smiled,
“Mmm how's your Uncle daemon doing anyway?” you gulped as she questioned you, if she knew what was going on with you and him she'd lose her mind completely. It was weird because she probably would have been the first person you would have gone to if things were normal between you two or if she hadn't slept with Daemon or gone on secret vacations with your ex..
“He's alright..” you mumbled so she sighed.
“How long is this trip for?”
“4-5 days?” You told her so she looked at you with a full smile.
“Good I'll have to pack accordingly” she jumped up and down as if it was a pleasant surprise for you that she wanted to join you.
“What do you mean?” You asked her as you crossed your arms in nervousness,
“Aren't you excited..we are going to have so much fun babe..i have never been to Japan” she giggled but it didn't amuse you at all.
“Cass I'm not going there for fun, it's a work trip and I'm pretty sure I'll have to be with Daemon to all the meetings, that's the whole point of this trip” her smile faltered as you said that,
“Did you just call him Daemon?” She asked you as she crossed her arms like a petulant child so you sighed again.
“Sir..Daemon.. whatever..he's my boss as well now Cass and things have been weird since you two had that fling ..I don't want weirdness on this trip..i need to focus on work”
And on your relationship with him. You needed privacy.
“Wow are you really not taking me with you now that you have a big girl's job? God you have changed” She said to you, she seemed genuinely upset and offended.
As she turned around to storm out of your room you called her once or twice but you didn't make much effort, a part of you did feel guilty but you shoved it aside. You really thought she'd just leave but she went downstairs instead and it must have been your misfortune that your father was home for once. After a few minutes your dad called you and told you that you didn't have to worry about the trip, her ticket was taken care of and that you could take Cassandra with you, and he would make sure all of you have a good time there and not just drown yourselves in work.
Gee thanks dad. Daemon was going to be pissed for sure.
When you didn't go see him like he had told you, Daemon went to your room first but it was all empty so he went downstairs and he saw Cassandra giving him a sly smile, there was luggage right next to her.
He glared at you and you were avoiding his gaze, probably due to embarrassment.
“Mate forget about the past and you both should move on, we are like family and that's how it should be..take this trip as an opportunity to resolve your differences” your dad said to him as he pointed towards Cassandra, she was exceptionally giddy ofcourse, she got her way like always.
Jackson was going to drive the three of you to the airport, there was an awkward silence in the car, you could see him looking at you through the rear view mirror and then you heard your phone ping,
Tumblr media
He didn't respond to you after that, he wasn't even looking at you or talking to you, he was upset and rightly so.
As you all took your seats in the plane she swapped her seat with you because she wanted to “apologize to daemon and make things normal” but you knew it was just another excuse to stay close to him.
She wasn't even acknowledging that she had gone against your wishes and joined this trip despite your clear resistance.
You had to sit on the right side of the business class row while they were on the left, it was going to be a very long, very lonely and very tense flight for you..you wanted to spend these 12 hours just talking to him but that won't happen now.
After a few hours as Cassandra went to the bathroom you quickly got up from your seat and sat down next to him. He had his airpods in, his sunglasses down, and he appeared to be lost in thought. You gently tapped him on the shoulder and he looked up, visibly annoyed at first, thinking it was Cassandra who had woken him up. As he spotted you, his expression softened, but he still seemed unhappy about the whole situation.
“I know you're cross with me.. extremely cross”
He sighed as you said that,
“I told you to confront her, i have said it a million times in the past month” his voice was firm and strict like a school teacher,
“I know i should have –”
“Yeah you should have..she wouldn't be here right now if you had done so”
Your eyes teared up as he said that, you didn't like making him upset.
“I'm sorry..it's just not easy..we have been friends for years” you mumbled meekly and he was about to turn to you to comfort you but Cassandra returned so you quickly got up and went back to your seat.
His anger was misdirected he knew, he was pissed at Cassandra but as he didn't want to pay any attention to her he didn't even let his anger out on her because it didn't really matter to her what sort of attention she was receiving..
He knew he had to comfort you soon because he understood your plight. He stayed in a broken relationship for more than a decade, he understood how hard it was to let go of things you wanted to keep forever. You had always struggled to make genuine friends, so you had put a lot of effort into building a relationship with Cassandra but he could tell what kind of a person she was. She just wanted to use you.
He also wanted to discuss the work presentation with you so he asked Cassandra to swap seats with you which she did after rolling her eyes and whining for a minute.
“Daemon–” he interrupted you as you took his name because he could feel Cassandra's eyes on you and she was eavesdropping as well.
“Let's just focus on work alright…it's a work trip” he said to you so you swallowed the rest of your words, this wasn't going well, your relationship had just started like last night and this wasn't supposed to happen this way.
However as you helped him with the presentation you felt the tension melting slightly, he seemed in a better mood as he was smiling often and he was trying to cheer you up as well.
“Are you guys done ..like ..this seat is a bit uncomfortable not gonna lie” Cassandra threw her words in the air so Daemon glared at her,
“Then jump off the bloody plane” your eyes widened as he said that to her and she just scoffed in response. Now that had managed to bring a huge smile to your face.
As you all finally reached Tokyo and made your way to your respective rooms you couldn't help but stress about Cassandra, when you were at dinner together there was a pin drop silence between you three and it was the weirdest and most uncomfortable situation.
When you returned to your room you quickly showered and changed into a night dress. As you heard your phone vibrate at first you thought it must be Daemon but it was Cassandra instead. She wanted you to go visit a local nightclub with her that she had read rave reviews about. Did she realize that you were there for work and had a meeting in the morning?
You didn't respond but texted Daemon instead because you wanted to see him and clear the tension between you both however you didn't receive a response for a good fifteen minutes and you couldn't wait even a second longer so you put on a robe and stepped out of your room.
All three of you had rooms right next to each so you had to pass by Cassandra's room to reach Daemon's.
You knocked on his door and he opened soon after, he still had the laptop on his arm and he was on a call so he stepped aside and gestured for you to get in. You sat down on his bed so he smiled as he looked at you even though he was still deeply engrossed in that call.
“Hai! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu Mr Hayashi…Oyasumi” you crossed your arms as he spoke something in Japanese, as he hung up he took the airpods out and walked towards his desk to put his laptop down.
“You speak Japanese?” You asked him so he chuckled.
“Of Course not..i Googled it right before the call”
You smiled as he said that and reached closer to you.
“I texted you and you ignored me” he smiled and leaned down to kiss your forehead, sure he was upset with Cassandra's lack of boundaries and manners but he wasn't going to ruin this trip or hurt you because of that.
“I was working sweetheart”
“Mmm you're upset i know”
“I'm not upset ..i worry”
“She won't trouble you, you just have to ignore her” he sighed as you said that and sat down next to you.
“It's not me that I worry about”
“I tried to make her not come with us, i really did” your eyes teared up so he pulled you closer to him and hugged you, he hadn't done that since he had seen you last in his cabin which to be Frank was barely 24 hours ago.
“I know but did you try to confront her about the doubts you had regarding Dylan?”
“No” you shook your head and he placed his forehead down on yours,
“You know you need to do that, she's not a good friend you must know that now don't you?” he asked you softly and you nodded in response, you knew everything but you had a hard time accepting it..
“It's just..I don't have many friends..I have lost friends before but at least i knew that they just wanted to get close to me because of my dad..with Cassandra I just..what does she want?” your voice was laced with a mix of sadness and frustration as you spoke.
“Same thing but even worse i fear, first of all she's so annoying I don't know how you tolerate her”
“Well the same way you were able to tolerate her while you were fucking her”
There was a silence before you felt his fingers clutching around your hair and he pulled on it slightly. You had trouble breathing as soon as he kissed the corner of your mouth and trailed his lips down your chin,
“What have I said about swearing?”
“Mmm that i should do it more often?” he smiled as you said that.
Lord he found you absolutely adorable when you got all sassy with him.
“Your mouth is going to bring you trouble sweetheart, I'm asking again so this time think carefully before you speak”
Oh god. A part of you really wanted to defy him again just to see what he'd do to you but then your need to be his good girl weighted heavier.
“Mm that it doesn't suit me?”
“Mmm that being said, i fucked her because I was a lonely single man and she was available and quite eager to throw herself at me, her personality isn't what attracted me to her, but you can't say the same now can you?”
He caressed your scalp before he kissed your cheek, he could tell you were thinking about what he had said.
“She wasn't always like this..or maybe I just ..maybe I like to live in denial” your voice sounded defeated and he absolutely abhorred seeing you in this situation.
“I don't want you to lose a friend..but i need you to be careful before letting a person into your life like this. She has been going on free trips with you since she met you, she's using your name and your dad's wealth to get what she wants from you ..but that's not enough for her and you know that” Daemon's voice was filled with concern and your eyes teared up again as you knew he was looking out for you.
He might have just become your boyfriend of sorts like two days ago but he has always been someone who had your best interests at heart, you knew he'd never give you bad advice.
“In college ..during our last year, there was this guy Seth..he ummm..I liked him and i thought he did too because he used to look at me when I wasn't looking at him and he'd try to talk to me at times ..but on New years bunch of us went to New York City together and they kissed there as the ball dropped, I never confronted her because she didn't know that i liked him” he kissed your forehead softly as your innocent words clenched his heart. She always had her eyes on whatever you wanted.
“Or perhaps she did, ever thought about that?”
“Now am I'm thinking about that and..I just thought she had changed with time..it's hard to accept that maybe she has always been this way and I was so dumb that i couldn't see her real self” he cupped your cheeks as you said that. There's no way he'd ever want you to feel bad about keeping your heart kind and open for others..
“You're not dumb ..no my sweetheart, not at all, you're my sweetest pixie.. a bit naive yes but you'll learn and grow from such errors in judgement” he mumbled softly so you smiled as you hugged him before you climbed on his lap.
He quickly wrapped his arms around your waist and rocked you back n forth gently to comfort you.
“Besides.. every time you feel dumb, just remember that i spent eleven years with a woman that couldn't stop cheating on our marriage”
You pulled away and cupped his cheeks as he said that.
“Well you learned too Mister, now you have me and I'd never ever put you through that pain” a smile crept on his lips at your sweet words.
“Me neither, you for me ..as long as you want me”
“Mmmm as long as I want?” you spoke in a childish voice and it made his smile even wider.
“I got 30 years max..not making it past 70 so yeah it's as long as you want”
“Don't say that..”
“Mmmhm what are you gonna do about it?" His tone was challenging,
“I might kiss you”
“Ooohh is that a threat?” he let out a playful gasp,
“I am threatening you”
He laid down on the bed with you still on top of him and then he flipped you under him. He kissed your forehead and then kissed the tip of your nose, grabbing his chin between his thumb and forefinger he made you look at him. Not that you had your eyes off him.
“I have thought about this so many times” you mumbled as you caressed his chin with your fingertips.
“Mmm so have i..but only in the last four months”
“I know..you don't have to justify yourself to me of all people” he sighed and nodded as you said that.
“It's just strange at times. We have photos of us together when you were just a kid, on several occasions i had my arms around your shoulders or was hugging you, things can be misconstrued. I always feel like i should watch my words when I speak”
“Not with me”
You felt that he was finally going to kiss you but then you both heard a knock on the door and you quickly got up as you had a feeling it was Cassandra. Of course it was.
“What do I do?” You asked him so he chuckled,
“Hide in the closet? I'd suggest we pretend to work but I don't trust her to not fabricate things and snitch on us to your parents”
Could she really do that you wondered?
“Okay hiding in the closet it is then”
He had left the door of the closet slightly open, lights were dimmed in the room so she won't be able to see you anyways he figured. You stood inside with bated breaths as you heard his footsteps fade away from you.
“Have you seen y/n? She's not answering the door or her calls” she asked him as she entered the room on her own accord even though he hadn't invited her in.
“Look Cassandra..you nobhead.. I'm busy so just fuck off yess?”
He glared at her so she smiled. She was just shameless like that.
“Awn i thought you'd be more worried about her, isn't she like your niece?” her voice was so shrill it really pierced his ears in the worst possible manner.
“I reckon she's in her room”
“Mmmm or she's out with a bloke or something, it's not that she hasn't done it before” she sighed as she sat down on his bed.
Now you had a clear view of her from the closet that he had left ajar, your phone was on his bedside table and he was just hoping it won't start ringing , also what she had just said about you had pissed him off more, he knew you weren't the type to do something so careless even if you both weren't in this new relationship.
“uhhhuh that seems like something you'd do”
He clapped back at her so she smiled again. She wasn't done just yet.
“You know you have no idea how careless she can be with men in these new places..i mean i get the appeal of course but safety is important don't you think? She can't even defend herself in such situations as I have had to do so for her countless times before. I just worry too much, I think that's why she has been avoiding me lately” she made a sad face but he wasn't falling for that, he hoped you had heard the way she was talking about you behind your back, if she said all that your supposed uncle he couldn't imagine how she has been portraying you in front of strangers.
“She has really changed since she met Rhaenyra” his brows furrowed as she said that. He knew you had befriended Rhae since your birthday party.
“My niece?”
“Mhhm she's definitely a bad influence on y/n”
“Rhaenyra is a decent girl and so is y/n”
“Mmmmhm really because I saw your niece in a club a few days ago giggling in the arms of a man who seemed much older than her, i couldn't help but wonder where I had seen him before and then i realized I met him at your birthday party” he turned to look at her as she said that, sure he didn't want to believe a single word that came out of her attention seeking whore mouth but his protectiveness towards his actual niece weighed in. Rhaneyra was the same age as you so he knew she could make her own decisions like you but he was still worried.
“What man?” He asked her so she smiled,
“Mmm, your brother's business partner? I don't remember his name to be honest as I don't really care about her” she shrugged and she had that infuriating smile on her face so he smiled at her finally
“Well perhaps you'd have remembered his name if you had fucked him”
She glared at him as he said that she had been trying so hard to make him see her differently but she didn't know why he was so unaffected by her, usually guys often caved in eventually.
“Now fuck off i have a meeting tomorrow” he grabbed her arm and walked her towards the door, when he reached he shoved her out with a little force, he then watched her huff and make her way to the elevator instead of going to your room to check on you again. She was so deeply worried about you but didn't want to see if you were alright or not?
As you heard the door closing you stepped out of the closet and he immediately noticed that there was a dejected look on your face, not only has she bitched about you behind your back but had also tried to malign Rhaenyra's image in front of her uncle.
You snapped out of your thoughts as you felt him wrap his arms around you and you immediately pressed your chest against his broad comfy chest, he truly was your safe haven. Now that he had returned you couldn't imagine going years without never hearing from again.
As you looked up eventually he cupped your cheeks and kissed your forehead before he kissed your cheek.
“You alright?” He asked you so you nodded,
“Now i know what I have to do with her, maybe this was the push i needed”
“Good girl” your face flushed as his soft voice infiltrated your senses but there was a look of confusion on his face “Do you know anything about Rhaenyra and Harwin?” He asked as he stepped a little away from you, making you gulp in nervousness, his hand combed through his hair.
“You know you can't believe anything she says” you chuckled but he could see right through you.
"I find it unusually precise for her to invent such a story. She's not particularly astute. And you, my love?" He paused for a moment, gazing at you intently, before resuming, "Don't even consider attempting to deceive me like that." You let out a small sound of frustration before letting out a long breath, weighing his words carefully.
“Daemon she's a big girl, I'm sure she knows what she's doing..you can't go all uncle on her.. it would make you seem like a hypocrite” he scowled as you said that.
“It's not hypocrisy to look out for your loved ones”
“I know..but it's not a mindless affair …she's in love with him” you mumbled hurriedly and his eyes widened.
“I don't even know what sort of bloke he is.. didn't even get to talk to him at the party..isn't he like forty?”
Instead of answering you just tilted your head at the irony of the situation. “Oh pipe it down love..not every older man has good intentions.. consensus would say that majority of them are just predators..just sharks waiting to pounce on younger flesh” you walked closer to him as he said that and wrapped your arms around him, he was kind of cute with his feathers all ruffled.
“Mmm so you have good intentions for me hmm?”
“Of Course I do”
“I know mister, just calm down okay, besides if you want to know him better you just have to reach out to her, she has missed her uncle as well in these years, in a pure innocent way ofcourse unlike me” he chuckled as you said that, you caressed his cheek with your thumb and it made him smile, you weren't wrong though, you always had something wise to say to him.
“We all loved you so much even as kids, you had no idea how comforting it was to have you around me especially during festivals and vacations, you didn't alienate me like other adults, you spent time with me and made me laugh with your funny jokes…and I'm sure you did the same with Rhaneyra and Aemond when you were with your family..they'd love to have their old uncle back”
His eyes were teary by the time you were done speaking so you cupped his cheeks and curled your arms around him.
The decision to leave his family and you wasn't a well thought one, he left on an impulse, he was angry and raged, nothing else made sense to him at the time, he just knew he couldn't have stayed here.
However the way your relationship with him has changed so drastically now, for once he didn't regret leaving because watching you grow up into this fine young woman and then developing an attraction towards you later in life would have been way worse than what it was now and he probably never would have acted on it if that was the case so maybe everything happened the way they did for a reason.. that's to say he hadn't forgotten why he had to leave. He'd never forget.
“Do I get to cuddle you tonight?” You asked him so he shook his head,
“That won't be a wise course of action if we are trying to take the slow approach”
“Ummm hello? You are”
“Well you deserve that sweetheart”
You grinned from ear to ear as he said that. Yeah you deserved to be treated tenderly and with utmost care, he'd never do anything that would ruin the bond he shared with you, even if you both part ways someday in romantic sense he hoped that you'd still think of him fondly.
Next day you watched him at the meeting and your mind was blown, you were trying to focus on the work but you couldn't just turn off that part of your brain that made you tick and so devastatingly aroused for him, he was confident and fierce, he knew how to manipulate and get those people to like him, and he was so charming. He was a businessman through and through.
And he was a great mentor to you, you were actually going to learn plenty from him if you wanted to stay in the family business, no wonder your father trusted him to teach you the tricks of the business , everything seemed fine between them now but you often thought about him fleeing the country once and you still didn't know the reason for that.
As you reached the hotel again, you found Cassandra in the lobby and she walked towards you. Daemon then looked at you and he gave you a knowing look. It was now or never for you, she'd continue to remain toxic if you don't confront her just now.
As you neared her you were going to say something but she opened her mouth first.
“I have a confession to make, i slept with Dylan”

Hopelessly Romantic
Tumblr media
summary - You used to say that a little romanticising never hurt anyone, turns out you were wrong. So wrong. (Unless...?)
pairing - Hoseok x reader
genre - university!au, fluff, a little angst, crushing & pining <3
word count - 7.4k
warnings - swearing :o, y/n goes through serious introspection, y/n goes through it
You always loved romance and love. You loved when your friend finally revealed his feelings to his crush after endless (and progressively annoying) pining for each other. You love when you see your regulars have their weekly Sunday date night at the restaurant you work at (you also love their tips). You love when couples share an umbrella when walking in the rain. Heck, you even love the socks with the tiny magnetic arms that when you stand next to someone with the same socks they hold hands! Like! Who cares if they are just inanimate socks? (They are holding hands!) You just love love!
Okay, so your friends/housemates might make fun of you for it. They might roll their eyes when you fawn over some minor interaction between two strangers in the street or when you dote on something slightly romantic that your professor said about his wife. Some of your friends may say you are overoptimistic. Or as Yoongi would call it: unrealistic.
But, you would argue that a little romanticising never hurt anyone! Can it be annoying sometimes? Yes! Do your friends have to mentally prepare themselves before confiding in you about anything to do with their romantic life? 100%! Can your romanticisation border on delusional? I mean, maybe sometimes? Or as Yoongi would say: all the time.
It's a little running joke in your friendship group that little Y/n is a little hopeless romantic who would even romanticise two street rats eating rotting food in a dumpster together (but also that is kind of cute, like they live in awful conditions but they still stay together?!).
So maybe that's why you keep your crush on a certain man in your class a secret. Or as you would say (then giggle and hide your face into your pillow), your secret.
Tumblr media
You would admit that the sole reason that gets you out of bed for your Monday 9am lecture is the fact you can spend an hour glancing at the most perfect side profile to ever bless planet earth (oh, and sometimes the cute stories your professor reveals about his wife).
After 5 months of this class, you have perfected the routine to get the most out of this one hour experience. First, you (struggle to) get up at 7am. Then, do all your business and get clean. Then, you agonisingly choose your best outfit that is both (a) comfortable for an annoyingly early lecture and (b) also cute so that when he looks over to you, he thinks woah this hot babe knocks it out the park every time with their insanely cool yet effortless look like woah I need to propose or whatever. Then, you (maybe too excitedly) stroll to your lecture and get there with (and this is very important) exactly 4 minutes before the lecture begins. This is because exactly 5 minutes before the lecture begins, a certain someone (cue you giggling and hiding your face) finds a seat in the lecture hall. And that means you can choose the optimal seating position to be able to have sneaky glances at the most beautiful face you have ever laid your eyes upon (in a not creepy way). The said optimal seating position is around 1 or 2 rows behind and a good ten seats on either side of him. Both effective and not suspicious at all.
If they knew, your friends would call you crazy. Or as Yoongi would say: this would actually be great evidentiary support for a restraining order. But you swear if they have ever seen this man, they would be doing the exact same thing. You would also argue that you are not the only one who does this! Two weeks ago you noticed that a girl, who sat 5 rows in front of you (so 3 rows in front of him), spent most of the lecture staring at the man and it was very obvious. Clearly, someone needs to get an optimal seating position! And just a month ago, after the man answered one of the professor's questions, a group of people let out a very audible tee-hee at how unbelievably attractive his face was.
And, my God, what a face.
It's otherworldly and beautiful. And that side profile? His perfect nose? His heart-shaped lips? His amazing jawline? His somehow always sparkly eyes? And his kissable cheekbones that protrude a bit more when he bursts out into the most bright and breath-taking smile? Stunning.
It's even more stunning when it's directed at you. Tee-hee.
Plot twist! You aren't one to brag (you are going to fully brag). But there have been a few instances where your glances are requited.
Now it's time to replay them in excruciating detail!
The first time it happened, you were mid-sentence in typing some notes on the lecture slides when you habitually glanced over to Mr. Beautiful man. But when you look up, you find yourself already caught in the depths of his gaze. You nearly choked on the air at the realisation that this man was looking at you with his sparkling eyes that seemed to hold a playful glint within them and a soft smile tugged at the corner of his lips. For a heartbeat, time seemed to still as you held his gaze, and in that fleeting moment, you swear you felt a connection, a spark that made you bashfully look back to the lecture slides.
Another time this happened was when your professor was talking about the story of how he wooed his wife (every time he saw her, he pretended to trip over something so she would always remember him). You couldn't help but to accidentally let out a laugh louder than the rest of the class. But before you could cringe at yourself for the way your chuckle echoed around the room, you found yourself locking eyes with him, whose smile widened as your eyes met. You felt a warmth spread through you, as if his smile was meant for only you, and you couldn't help but smile back as he turned his head back around to the professor.
Not only that, but (not bragging at all) you have spoken to him a good two times.
Plot twist again!
He actually definitely knows who you are!
It's time to recount these events in even more excruciating detail!
1.
The first time he spoke to you was in the second week of the semester and it was also the first time you ever noticed him. As everyone stood up to pack their bags, you noticed that the person in front of you had left his water bottle behind on his desk. Noting the back of the man already half-way down the stairs, you grab the metal bottle and try to dash out of the lecture hall, scanning the corridor for any sign of him. Finally spotting him nearly walking out of the building, you hurried to catch up to him. As he opened the door, you shouted an 'excuse me' to the man.
As if it was in slow motion, he turned around and you don't know if you were hallucinating, but you swear you were nearly swept off your feet (it may have been the strong wind that the opening door let in). That was the first time you were graced with the most beautiful face you have ever seen, as he looked at you surprised and confused with his soft-looking hair flowing with the breeze.
You stutter at the sight of him, briefly forgetting why you even chased after him in the first place.
"O-oh, you forgot your bottle." You bashfully state, lifting the bottle towards him.
You look up at him (sigh he's tall) and you actually feel your heart stop when his lips curve into the most heart warming smile.
"Wow, thanks a lot", he gratefully says, taking back his bottle, "I'm Hoseok, by the way."
Hoseok.
You mirror his smile and try to not turn red as you reply "Y/n."
"Nice to meet you! Thanks again." He coolly says before continuing on his way.
He leaves you windswept and heart-stricken in the middle of the doorway.
(You quickly break out of it when annoyed students try to squeeze and push past you taking up the whole exit).
2.
The second time you converse with the man was 3 months after. And after a few exchanged glances, you're confident in saying that your attraction to this man has exponentially grown to unfathomable amounts.
You can safely say that you think you have a serious crush on this man.
This man being Hoseok. Because that's his name and he told you himself (tee-hee).
When you arrive at the lecture hall, you are greeted with an unfamiliar sight: people waiting outside of the room. When you walk up, you see the familiar faces you regularly see standing around and you deduce that the room must be locked (sometimes security forgets to unlock the lecture halls in the morning). As you lean against the wall and look down at your phone, you are surprised by the sudden voice next to you.
"This feels so weird standing around."
You look up and unconsciously let a smitten smile smother your face at Hoseok (tee-hee <3) next to you. You let yourself gaze at his breath-taking face for a moment. You feel your heart start racing again, as you stumble over what words to say.
"Yeah definitely, I'm so used to just sitting down before the professor gets here."
He glances at you, surprised you replied. In that moment you realise: he was talking to himself. That's awkward.
"No, yeah, I like to prep myself before a 9am lecture. I'm just wondering, who schedules 9am lectures on a Monday?" He light-heartedly comments, offering you one of his sweet smiles.
"You and me both, Hoseok. I'm wondering the same thing", you shyly respond, your smitten smile slightly burning your cheeks. Omg this is the longest conversation you have had with him!
You watch as his brows furrowed in confusion and his perfectly shaped head tilt to the side a bit. He lets out a bashful smile.
"Sorry, have we met before?" He lets out an embarrassed laugh and continues when you mirror his confusion, "You know my name?"
Oh...
You feel your heart sink a bit (a lot) and your lips move into a self-conscious smile. He doesn't remember you.
"Oh... Yeah we met briefly before." You look down, trying to cover your disappointment, "It was like at the beginning of the year so..."
You're surprised you can hear the sounds of people shuffling to move into the now unlocked lecture hall over the volume of how embarrassing this situation was. You both slowly trail behind the rest of the class into the room.
"Right, sorry, sometimes my memory is not the best!" Hoseok quickly reassures you, his tone devoid of any awkwardness, "What was your name again?"
It should be embarrassing at how quickly your mood elevated under his interest in knowing your name.
"I'm Y/n", you beam.
"Y/n", Hoseok says, more to himself, "I promise I won't forget next time".
He gives you another smile and a playful poke to your cheek, which makes you feel like the only one in the room, as he strides up to claim an empty seat. You feel yourself float up to your OSP (optimal seating position), unable to stop smiling from the brief exchange.
"I promise I won't forget next time"
Tee-hee, you have promises. And he touched your cheek! Tee-hee.
You spent the whole lecture divulging in the potential possibility that your crush might not be one-sided.
Tee-hee.
Tumblr media
So here you are, five months deep in being the strongest trooper in your secret infatuation with this stunning man. You can’t help but give yourself a mental pat on the back for successfully keeping your mouth shut about it.
The pat on the back becomes even more vigorous when you manage to maintain your composure every time you spot him around campus, which has strangely been frequently lately. Surprisingly, this increase in sightings had nothing to do with you and everything to do with Yoongi.
You’ve been on high alert around Yoongi ever since he casually mentioned that he had a crush on someone in his classes. However, knowing you and your nature, he refused to divulge any details, nevermind the identity of the crush. It stung a little (okay, maybe more than a little) when he brushed you off, but you totally get it. After all, out of everyone, Yoongi was never the one to entertain your romanticising shit and especially not your meddling ways. Yet, there were instances where you could work out the object of Yoongi’s affections:
When Yoongi, out of nowhere, wanted to start sitting outside for lunch, near a particular group of friends (even though he hates sitting too long in the sun).
When Yoongi insisted you accompany him to watch the musical theatre society's dance practice (even though he was the conductor and didn’t really need to be there).
When Yoongi dragged you along to the dance society's performances, under the guise of "oh, I like the music" (not that you're complaining because Hoseok is also a part of that society tee-hee).
The common factor?: Jimin.
You couldn't blame Yoongi: Jimin was undeniably a sight to behold. And he is so lovely! One time your bag got stuck in the library’s revolving doors and you spent a good 5 minutes panickedly running in circles before Jimin stopped the whole crowd to come rescue you <3 (you never really talk about it because the situation actually made you want to curl up and never see the sun again). And every time Yoongi tries (emphasis on tries) to casually talk about Jimin, a cute little blush paints your friend's face, which makes you <3. And every time you see Jimin's smile it makes you, and the rest of the population just <3. And every time Yoongi sees Jimin from afar, you swear you can see the hearts jump out of his eyes <3.
The man wasn’t exactly subtle.
You also should thank Yoongi (and the gods) as Jimin is friends with Hoseok, meaning every lunch you could discreetly sneak glances at him, his perfect smile, his contagious laugh, the way his whole body would light up as he animatedly recounted a funny story to his friends and-
Anyways, since you were constantly looking that way, you, being the ever-vigilant detective, also noticed that someone else was also sneaking peeks at someone. That someone sneaking peeks being Jimin and the someone receiving said glances being Yoongi. Hee-hee. Jimin totally has a crush on Yoongi. And Yoongi totally has a crush on Jimin. They both totally have a crush on each other!
Even though you tried your best to not meddle, you just couldn’t resist. Much to Yoongi’s annoyance, you proceeded to bombard your friend with retellings of every single occurrence that Jimin so much breathed in his way in, of course, excruciating detail. You insisted for your friend to ask him on a date or confess or do anything, but only if he wanted to, of course.
You only seized your pestering when Yoongi finally grumbles a quiet “fine”. You also decided to seize any teasing of the growing excited smile on his face.
And so, it was on the fateful Thursday before Valentine’s Day week (which was just the heart-shaped cherry on top) Yoongi shyly asked Jimin on a date… And he said yes.
:) 
Apparently the date went really, really well :) So well that since they had known each other for a while, Jimin thought it only fitting to ask Yoongi if they could be boyfriends :) To which your friend broke out in his signature gummy smile and said yes :) Yoongi got a Valentine’s :) Yoongi, Mr. Stop-being-annoying-with-love-Y/n, was about to be annoying with love :)

The weekend anticipation for Monday was nearly unbearable. Not only did it promise the chance to catch up with Yoongi and extract every detail about the date - how did Jimin pop the question, Yoongi’s response to the question, Jimin’s response to Yoongi’s response to the question, etc. - but there was also the added excitement of Yoongi suggesting that the two friend groups sit together. One friend group including you and one friendship group including Hoseok. Tee-hee.
But when the clock struck 7am, you woke up with an odd feeling.
Something had felt off the previous day too, almost as if the world shifted its axis. Firstly, when your regular couple arrived at the restaurant, only half of them sat down at their usual table. The man sat alone, tears streaming down his face as he ordered his usual sirloin steak, nearly choking up as he had to stop himself from ordering his partner’s usual vegan burger. Or should you say, ex-partner… Turns out they weren’t the happy couple you saw them to be, they were actually going through a divorce. Instead of going home at closing time, you found yourself awkwardly comforting the man (i.e., stiffly patting his shoulder) as he worryingly wailed loudly into the table while you tried to find a way to ethically and morally make him pay the bill (though, he did leave his most generous tip ever, but you guess it's likely because the bill was half its usual price). Your heart couldn’t help to ache as you saw him braving the rain without an umbrella, all by himself.
You would be lying if you said that the couple’s breakup didn’t affect you in any way, you couldn’t shake off the weird feeling it gave you. You swore, every time you served them, they were a couple madly in-love, did you really misread the whole situation?
As you walked through campus on your way to the lecture, you tried to not think about the couple and you tried to distract yourself from the strange feeling, reminding yourself of the excitement of today. Today was the day you could finally talk to Hoseok (cue you giggling and hiding your face). You could finally get to know him beyond what you see in the lectures, beyond the brief mentions about him in passing conversations with Yoongi, beyond his dance performances, beyond your fleeting exchanged glances. You finally will know Hoseok as a friend, or maybe something more (tee-hee). 
Just before you start to daydream (or as Yoongi would say: delude) about the potential conversations with Hoseok. You feel yourself still at the shattering sound beneath your feet. When you look down, you feel that odd feeling creep throughout your body; you accidentally crushed a pair of glasses on the ground. You don’t know why you remain staring at the broken lens (you also realise they are one of those expensive Ray Bans - yikes sorry to the owner). After you stood there for what felt like an eternity, it hit you why they look odd: they were rose-tinted glasses. 
You just broke a pair of rose-tinted glasses.
Huh.
The distraction caused you to arrive 2 minutes late for the lecture, having to sit on one of the only available seats right at the front of the lecture hall (no OSP today guys). Much to your sadness, this meant you were not able to sneak any glances at the man and his beautiful side profile. :(
Maybe it was the fact you didn’t have Hoseok to distract you or maybe it was the strange feeling that made you really listen to your professor without your usual optimistic bias. But you finally realise how lowkey (highkey) misogynistic your professor was about his wife.
“Now, as an example of positive reinforcement, I can’t help but talk about a perfect one from my own experiences. I’ve talked about my endless efforts to win my lovely wife over, the gestures, the flowers, the compliments. But now that I’ve won her heart, she associates me with all that lovey-dovey stuff so I don't need to do any of that anymore! Like, why bother doing anything extra when she’s already fulfilling her role and doing all my laundry? This type of conditioning gets you an endless supply of clean underwear! Or is that too problematic to say these days? Am I going to get cancelled?” Your professor laughs.
You feel your mouth gape in pure shock (and cringe), as your ears pick up the awkward and fake laughs throughout the lecture hall.
Huh. That wasn’t very romantic.
The professor continues on and leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth. That strange feeling intensifies throughout you for the rest of the hour and carries on until lunch.
As you joined the group of people, you took a seat and offered smiles in response to everyone’s greetings. You noticed Hoseok had not arrived yet, and you tried not to react when you heard Namjoon, one of Jimin’s friends, complaining about his professor holding Hoseok back. From the 15 minutes you spend sitting with them, you deduce that Jimin’s friends are really nice: Namjoon was particularly endearing and Taehyung was charmingly entertaining. If it weren’t for the strange feeling nagging at you, you’d be more talkative, but instead, you could only muster occasional contributions to the conversation.
Feeling a nudge from your friend Molly next to you, you turned to her as she quietly asked if you were okay, worried because of your unusual silence. You quickly offer an excuse about stress from your group presentation and she nods, not entirely convinced. You also feel a brief comforting squeeze from your other friend, Lia, beside you. However, they both know you well enough to know that they shouldn’t press anything further. You meekly look around the table and you notice Yoongi already looking at you, a hint of concern forming on his face. You tried to reassure him with a big smile to indicate you are perfectly fine, but you could tell he wasn’t convinced. Curse your friends and their perceptiveness. But before he could press further, Jimin, being the angel that he is, distracts him with something funny on his phone, and you find yourself zoning out of the conversation.
“Well, I thought the movie was very good!” Taehyung argues.
“Of course you would think that movie was good, Tae,” Namjoon scoffs, “It was right up your hipster alley, a failed attempt at a romance movie disguised by some weird, unconventional filming techniques.”
Your attention snapped back when Taehyung gasped loudly.
“Failed attempt?” Taehyung repeats with disbelief, “I’ll have you know, that movie was the epitome of romance!”
“Tae, the most romantic thing about that movie was that it was caring enough to only put us through 1 hour of it,” Namjoon deadpans.
Chuckling spread around the table, leaving you a bit confused. You don’t even know what movie they’re talking about.
“Don’t talk about romance in front of Y/n guys” Lia teases, “We won’t hear the end of it, especially so close to Valentine’s day.”
Suddenly, all the attention is on you, your friends fondly looking at you, ready for your usual response. Normally, you’d play along and potentially bond with Taehyung over whatever movie this is. But instead, you stutter, unsure on how to respond.
“Well-” You start, before being interrupted.
“Oh my god, hey guys”, you hear from behind you, the voice slightly out of breath.
As everyone greets him back, you feel Lia, who was sitting next to you, shuffling to her left, making space for Hoseok to sit down. Next to you.
Instantly, the strange mood seems to dissipate into thin air. Omg he’s sitting next to you! Being a bit shy, you stay frozen, not turning around to look at the man. You feel yourself start to smile at the feeling of him next to you, and you nearly unconsciously moan at how good this man smells. Have some dignity Y/n, you think to yourself.
“Sorry I’m late, my meeting was supposed to be only 30 minutes but the professor went over an hour,” he laughs out, then looks towards his friend and his boyfriend, “I hope the in-law’s meeting is going well.”
Everyone around the table, including you, laughs, assuring him that it’s going well. You can’t help but let out a dreamy sigh - he’s so hot. Hoseok proceeds to go around to learn the names of the new faces, saying a nice to meet you to Lia, jokingly reintroducing himself to Yoongi (apparently they’re actually friends), and then mentioning to Molly that he is pretty sure they are in the same assignment group for one of his classes. Your face breaks out in a smile with how well he gets on with everyone. He is just so bright and sociable, you can’t help but feel your heart warm at the thought.
Finally, you muster the courage to turn towards him, intending to break the ice with the weird comment your professor said in the morning lecture but Hoseok starts before you.
He starts with the same gut-wrenchingly gorgeous smile,
“And what’s your name?”
Oh…
You feel yourself speechless at the question, colour draining in your face. If this was any other day and if this was anyone else, you would tease saying you’ve met before, joke about him already asking that question, maybe even fake hurt and dramatically ask if you were really that forgettable. But it did hurt, and you don’t feel like you have it in you to embarrass yourself, so instead you introduce yourself again.
For the third time.
“I’m Y/n”, you reply with a tense smile.
“Well it’s really nice to meet you!” He beams.
Throughout the entire lunch, silence envelops you like a suffocating blanket, muffling the chatter around you. All your senses are surrounded by Hoseok, yet he doesn’t even seem to notice you. You watch him interact effortlessly with others, his eyes light up with warmth and his smiles so familiar, you once believed they were reserved solely for you. But now, you realise those looks and smiles are merely part of his default demeanour, unfairly extended to everyone without second thought. The realisation cuts straight through you.
It’s not that he intentionally excludes you; he offers small nods and fleeting smiles of acknowledgements when your eyes meet. He just doesn’t fully register your presence or, better put, is interested in your presence more than he’s interested in anyone else. You don’t know what’s worse. Either way, the pang of insignificance hurts you deep as you sit there feeling like an idiot.
Meanwhile, your friends are engrossed in getting to know everyone else, and for the first time, you don’t bother deciphering the subtle exchanges between Molly and Taehyung, or analyse how well they bounce off each other, jokingly debating about something. Instead, you feel a bit irked by the sight of Jimin and Yoongi being so shyly cute with each other.
And it’s when Lia’s friendly tease prompts Hoseok to playfully poke her cheek, just like he did with you, you quietly stand up, wanting nothing more but to leave. The table suddenly grows quiet, your feigned excuse about seeing your professor being the only thing that is heard. After giving your friends a pointed look that says ‘please don’t follow me’, you pack your uneaten lunch and make a hasty exit, ignoring the worried gazes of your friends.
The truth hits you like a bus - he didn’t even know who you were. He treats everyone with the same warmth and friendliness, all those supposed shared moments weren’t special at all. You just convinced yourself they were, romanticising all those supposed connections to mean something. Did your brain really deluded you into thinking your foolish crush on him was actually requited?
Perhaps Yoongi was right about you. Unrealistic. Delusional. Now that you think about it, probably needs to be served with a restraining order. You didn’t just imagine that Hoseok was interested in you too but you also imagined that he actually knew who you were.
You feel like a fool.
As you fight back tears from spilling from your eyes, you trudge home, neglecting your next lecture. You’ll catch up on it later.
Tumblr media
As you quietly slip away, a concerned silence settles over the group. Your friends exchange glances, each wondering if anyone knows what might be troubling you.
“Is she okay?” Namjoon breaks the silence, his brows furrowing with genuine concern as the group’s gaze follows your retreating figure.
“I actually don’t know…” Molly answers, her voice laced with worry, “She was so quiet. She said something earlier about a presentation but I know she doesn’t have anything like that coming up, so…”
“Shit, I should’ve said something earlier”, Yoongi mumbles with a loud sigh, reaching for his phone to send a message in your group chat.
Are you okay? Are you going back to the house? We’ll come meet you - yoongi
“We should go check on her.” Lia suggests, already rising from her seat, with Molly and Yoongi following suit.
Just then, the group’s phones all ping. Yoongi instantly reads the notification
I’m fine! I just have a headache :( - y/n
Don’t you dare move away from that table, Yoongi. You guys better have fun for me! I’ll see you guys at the house! - y/n
With a small scoff, Yoongi is about to ignore your pleas and continue to pack his things but then the phone pings again.
Please don’t come meet me - y/n
As Yoongi reads your last message, he sits down with a dejected sigh, everyone watching him curiously. The other two pull their phones out to read the messages, also sitting back down.
“I think she just wants to be alone.” Yoongi clarifies.
“Are you guys sure?” Jimin cautiously asks, “We don’t mind if you guys have to go.” 
The other three men agree with Jimin, their concerns evident. Reluctantly, Yoongi shakes his head and assures the group that they don’t need to leave, mentioning that he’ll talk to you later at the house. Silence descends on the table once more.
“I hope everything’s alright,” Jimin voices, “maybe something happened during her classes?”
“No, she only had that intro to psych lecture this morning and she always mentions how that’s pretty chill,” Molly dismisses, looking down deep in thought.
“Oh, I’m in that class” Hoseok suddenly interjects, drawing everyone’s attention, “I didn’t notice anything unusual.”
“Yeah, I forgot you’re in that class” Yoongi remarks, “I’m surprised you haven’t run into her.”
Hoseok nods silently. Suddenly, realisation dawns on him. He knew you looked familiar - you’ve literally spoken before. He guesses he didn’t remember cause it was a long time ago, and he never sees you in the lecture hall. Perhaps you always sit in the back? Now guilt weighs on him, remembering your face earlier. Your eyes lit up in familiarity and a cute smile grew on your face, until he asked for your name. Then you looked embarrassed, your eyes slightly dimming. He didn’t recognise you. Hoseok falls silent, consumed by his thoughts.
“Well,” Jimin starts, trying to steer the conversation in a more positive direction, “I hope she’s okay! You always talk about Y/n so I can’t wait to get to know her.”
Yoongi smiles warmly at Jimin, appreciating the attempt to lighten the mood.
“Yeah, Yoongi talks about how endearing Y/n is,” Jimin continues, addressing his friends, “I actually met her once before! I think she got stuck in the library doors, and I helped her out. I was so surprised because most people would be really embarrassed but she was so grateful and optimistic. It really threw me off guard. No idea why she would be friends with you, Yoongi”
The conversation shifts and the table bursts out in laughter as Yoongi rolls his eyes playfully. 
“No, really, sometimes she’s the complete opposite of you, Yoons,” Lia adds with excitement, “I literally remember when Molly was ordering our drinks and started to argue with one of the guys at the bar, so we were gonna go over and help her. But, Y/n stopped us, insisting that they were clearly just flirting. Then, Yoongi and Y/n started bickering about whether or not they were about to fight or kiss. Then all of a sudden we heard a scream and realised Molly threw her drink on him and they started to fight.”
“I’ll never forget Y/n’s face,” Yoongi heartedly laughs, reminiscing the incident, “I’ve never seen her more mortified.”
Everyone joins in the laughter. Hoseok looks around, noting how just the thought of you brightens your friend’s faces.
“Oh my God, that day got us banned from that place!,” Molly added, “I swear, she can romanticise anything.”
“Sounds like Taehyung with that atrocious ‘romance’ movie”, Namjoon jokes, earning a playful jab from the man.
“That’s it, someone bring Y/n back. I need someone to back me up on this”, Taehyung jokingly whines, eliciting more laughter, “I’ll force her to be my new movie buddy.”
“As long as it’s a romance movie, she won’t need much convincing”, Lia adds.
“With the movies Tae enjoys, we can only pray for her”, Namjoon sarcastically comments, dodging another hit from Taehyung.
“Well, Y/n finds joy and beauty in most things,” Yoongi starts, his eyes softening as he reflects on your unique perspective “I’m jealous of her, she can find love in anything and everything.”
The table falls into momentary silences, Yoongi’s words hanging in the air. Hoseok’s gaze flickers with intrigue as he processes the sentiment. His perception of you subtly shifts when Lia, with a mischievous grin, adds,
"Well, she loves love".
Tumblr media
So you have actually decided you hate love.
Upon arriving home, you collapse onto your bed, letting your tears flow freely. You found yourself unable to stop crying. You don’t know if it's from the sheer humbling experience or the sorrow of mourning your imagined relationship with Hoseok. You just couldn't believe that he would do that to you? After everything you’ve imagined been through?
For the remainder of the week, you choose to avoid your university commitments, wallowing in self-pity within the safe confinement of your bedroom. Despite sharing a house with your three friends, you surprisingly succeed in avoiding conversation with them. Occasionally, when you attempt to sneak out to use the toilet, you find sweet treats left at your bedroom door - a silent reminder that they’re there whenever you’re ready to talk. But three whole days pass without a word. You even miss Valentine’s day.
On Thursday, a knock interrupts your solitude, and you fully intend to ignore it, not yet ready to face the outside world.
“Y/n, I’m coming in whether you like it or not, so you have 30 seconds to not be naked before I open this door.” Yoongi announces from outside, anticipating your refusal.
“Come in.” he hears you mumble from inside.
He enters to find you cocooned in your blanket on the bed. You both share a silent gaze and Yoongi’s heart aches at the sight of your eyes slowly filling up with tears. As your lips start to quiver, about to burst out in tears, Yoongi rushes over and envelops you in his arms.
Yoongi isn’t known for giving hugs, but as you sob into his shirt, you realise he should do it more often; he’s a really good hugger. And in the second that you feel your friend give you a comforting kiss on the crown of your head, you let go completely.
Yoongi remains silent the whole time you reveal your crush on Hoseok. The only sign you know he is still listening is when he tightens his grasp on you whenever your story elicits harder sobs. Yoongi knows its best to not say or question anything, especially when you start blubbering about some acronym he’s never heard of (something about an OPM), which means 2 rows behind and 10 seats to the left? He decides to not probe further, understanding that right now you just need someone to listen.
"I’m so stupid, I should've known this would have happened, I always get carried away, I always do this,” You sob tiredly, messily wiping your snotty nose, “I need to stop being like this, I think there’s something actually wrong with me Yoongi. I feel like a complete idiot”
Through your swollen eyes, you see him shake his head.
“No, Y/n, stop it. You’re not stupid, you’re not an idiot, there’s nothing wrong with you, and you definitely don’t need to stop being you.” Yoongi scolds, pulling you in for another hug.
“B-but you even said it yourself, I’m unrealistic with these things,” You choke before bursting out into full-on wails, “I made myself believe that he actually liked me back and he didn’t even know I existed.”
You both remain hugging for a while, and with the feeling of Yoongi soothingly rubbing your back, your sobs gradually calm down.
"You know," Yoongi begins quietly, "I love you and I love that you love love because your love for love pushed me to try to be with someone I'm in love with. Only you could've done that.”
The room falls quiet as you digest his words..
“And I also hate how many times I said love in that sentence"
"You said it at least 6 times" you sniffle, smiling up at your friend, “Thank you, Yoons.”
He mirrors your smile.
“Don’t even mention it.” He says, pulling you in for a side hug, “And to hell with that man. Surely if he doesn’t even appreciate my best friend, he’s not worth it. What’s even so great about him?! Huh?” He shouts out, as you let out a small sniffing giggle.
"He's got really great cheekbones", you start, and a beat of silence passes as Yoongi meekly agrees.
"Yeah, he does.”
Tumblr media
In an attempt to cheer you up, Yoongi invites you to join him and Jimin for lunch on Sunday before your shift, promising a rather unconventional third-wheel experience. Despite your initial hesitations, as you watch the undeniable cuteness between them, your temporary barriers crumble, and you watch their interactions with joy and just the faintest tinie-wine hint of bittersweetness. Perhaps it’s because Jimin’s genuine concern for your well-being radiates comfort or maybe it’s his angelic aura, you find yourself confiding in him about your crush on Hoseok.
As you share your sorrows with the two men in front of you, you release a sigh of relief as he takes in the information with nothing but open-mindedness and kindness. His reassurance and comfort that Hoseok’s forgetfulness is not a reflection of you, but rather a quirk of his character - or, as Jimin admits, an annoyance - brings you comfort, leaving you feeling better as you make your way to work. 
Throughout the rest of your shift, a sense of peace settles within you. Perhaps, deep down, there’s a part of you that just thrives on romance and love, a factor ingrained in your disposition. As you clean tables, you come to the realisation: who cares if romance seems a bit elusive to you right now? It undeniably exists in the world, evident all around you. In your friends, in love songs, and even in those silly magnet socks. And that brings you happiness - a fact made abundantly clear by the joy you feel knowing your friend is experiencing it. 
Maybe, just maybe, it’s just not your time, and you muster the courage to admit, with a shaky exhale, that perhaps Hoseok simply wasn’t meant to be that person for you.
But you don’t dwell on that thought for too long, getting distracted by your divorced regular walking in with a new woman.
You stride to your Monday lecture actually feeling really great. I mean, you acquired a new friend (Jimin <3), you have a feeling Molly may have a little thing for Taehyung (which you’ll undoubtedly observe with unsolicited interest at lunch), and your Sunday regular (who strangely moved on from a whole marriage in just a week) still gives good tips. You feel ecstatic even.
On your way to your lecture, you pause briefly. Your eyebrows furrow at the sight of two rats sitting together on a bench, their tails somehow strangely interlocking. It was oddly and bizarrely romantic, prompting you to send a picture in the groupchat. For once, everyone actually agreed, even Yoongi.
So, who cares if you romanticise things? It got you this far, even through countless 9am lectures - a victory for someone with your habit of missing lectures. Perhaps you could still appreciate Hoseok's face, it's still a gorgeous face. And besides, when you really think about it, you don't actually know anything about him! He might actually be an awful person! You try to tell yourself that, but there’s still a small part of your heart that remains unconvinced.
You enter the lecture hall surprisingly 10 minutes early, say goodbye to OSP, hello to sitting wherever the fuck you want (which is kind of a relief considering Hoseok tended to sit really far behind and you really struggled to see the board sometimes).
Absorbed in Yoongi’s latest post of him and Jimin, you’re startled by a familiar voice beside you.
"Is this seat taken?"
Oh?
You look up to see the devastatingly handsome ray of sunshine himself, gesturing to the seat where your bag is on. You try not to inwardly scream at how good he looks. He’s wearing glasses you’ve never seen before and a really fluffy looking red jumper, which just makes him look so boyfriend and so, so gorgeous.
"No, it's not actually", you hesitantly move your bag and offer a polite smile.
You watch him sit down next to you and give you another earth-shaking smile, to which you offer a timid one back. You curse your heart for speeding up.
Don't get your hopes up, Y/n.
In order to distract yourself, you look down at your phone again and answer some messages from your family, unaware of Hoseok stealing glances at you. 
He notices just how cute your nose is, how sparkly your eyes are when you gleefully read whatever is on your screen. He is a bit embarrassed to admit how much he would love to know how to make the corners of your lips move upwards like that. He also notes his sudden urge to grab your attention away from your screen and onto something else. Or maybe someone else.
He also feels the need to giggle and scream into a pillow. Huh.
Before he opens his mouth to make conversation and apologise for what happened last week, the professor begins his lectures, interrupting his chance.
As the lecture progresses, your professor makes another weird ‘joke’ about his wife, which makes you halt your note taking to stare at him in disbelief.
"I’m so surprised his wife hasn’t left him yet" Hoseok whispers to you.
You giggle at the remark, your head instinctively dipping down to avoid drawing attention. Hoseok's eyes brighten at the sound of your laugh, completely captivated by the sound. If you looked at him at this moment, you would notice that his face lit up much more than usual, a glint of endearment painting his smile. Your eyes meet, and for a moment, time stands still. You’re struck with how breathtakingly pretty he looks up close, it’s almost unfair. Your eyes are drawn to details you never noticed before - like the charming mole on his lips that makes you <3 (also ignites the desire to kiss it).
Although you know the lesson from the past week was that you can sometimes be delusional in your romanticising, but this time you are 100% sure you see it objectively: Hoseok briefly looks down at your lips before meeting your gaze again. It’s clear you didn’t imagine it, as you catch a sudden look of embarrassment wash over his face as if he got caught out. That’s because he did just get caught out.
You both look away from each other’s eyes, the intensity of the moment becoming a bit too overwhelming. But you both continue to sit together in silence, your shoulders brushing, with wide, bashful smiles plastered on your faces. The same thoughts (or lack thereof) swirling in both of your minds:
Tee-hee.

Trying to Distract Them:
Warnings: some suggestive themes, everyone is aged up, gender neutral
Leo:
He was meditating and just looked so peaceful. You were feeling neglected and wanted his undivided attention. Leo was always attentive to your needs and made sure you were well taken care of when you were with him. You'd been busy the last few days and now that you were free, you felt like you wanted to be a menace.
You decided to see if you could just slowly start crowding up some of his space to see if he'd notice. You brought a book and decided to lounge around him. You started off next to him and then laid your head on his thigh. You got bored in that position and decided to lay over his lap.
Crickets.
You silently huffed and closed your book. You climbed off his lap and sat in front of him. He was like a freaking statue. No movement, no noise, just very light breathing. You studied his face for a second and then you got an idea.
You grinned as you got on your knees and leaned up to where your mouth was level with his ear.
"Leo," you whispered, "I need you so bad right now..." You let out a shakey breath. You pulled back and saw his eyes had opened.
"Is that so?" He mumbled, his eyes mischievious.
"Yeah." You whispered, your eyes hooded. "Can you help me with building my ikea dresser?"
Leo narrowed his eyes at you and let out a small growl. In one swift movement he grabbed you and pulled you on to his lap. You yelped and put your hands on his shoulders to steady yourself.
"Let me help you build something else, love."
Raph:
You hated when Raph got in his boistering mood. He was loud and he was gruff and while any other time you'd find it attractive, right now it was annoying. He had just gotten back from patrol, telling you how well it went and going in to extensive detail. You had yet to get a word in and usually that didn't happen but he was particularly chatty tonight.
You usually wouldn't mind but you couldn't even tell him how cool you thought he was because of how chatty he was. You sat eyeing him, your chin in your hands. You let out loud sighs and even went as far as to try and do something to make it known you were done listening.
No luck.
You huffed and stood up, walking over to him and standing in front of him. His eyes were all lit up and he was very animated as he spoke. He looked like a little kid, which made you internally aw. You looked at him and licked your lips.
You grabbed his hands that were currently demonstrating some punching motion and placed them on your waist.
"Raph." You snapped, your eyes narrowed. "I'd like attention right now."
"Oh right, sorry babe." He said, a sheepish smile on his lips.
"Make it up to me." You mumbled, running your hands up his biceps. "Make me dinner?"
Raph let out a shakey breath at the feeling of your soft skin on his. He licked his lips, eyeing your now very intoxicating features. The adrenaline he once had was now being shifted to some where else.
"I can make you whatever you want."
Donnie:
The only sound coming from the lab was the sound of Donnie's typing. He promised he would give you his attention in 5 minutes, that was 30 minutes ago. You laid on his lab table, your arms under your head. Usually you weren't bored watching him work but the noise was lulling you to sleep.
You decided you needed a cuddle, badly. You yawned obnoxiously loud and stretched at the same time. You loudly readjusted yourself on the lab table and grumbled about how cold you were on the metal. You looked over at Donnie, expecting him to offer to come warm you up.
Typing still filled your ears.
You pouted and climbed off the table. You sulked over to him and leaned over the back of his chair. He still didn't move or look up, he was in the zone. You pouted and spun his chair around, crossing your arms after he came face to face with you.
You climbed in his lap wordlessly, wrapping your arms around his neck. You sighed, bless his natural warmth.
"It was cold." You mumbled, burying your face in his neck. "You're nice and toasty."
"Aw sweetie, you should've said so sooner." Donnie cooed, his arms going around you.
"I did. You ignored me." You replied, your face in his neck. "Now shush, it's naptime."
Donnie chuckled lightly and pressed a kiss to the side of your head. He turned the chair back around and went back to work. He found content with your soft breathing on his neck and some of your hair tickling his chin.
"You really should be cold more often."
Mikey:
Back and forth he went on his skateboard, you sitting on the ground on your phone. He invited you over because he wanted to see you, but Mikey seemed more interested in his skateboard tricks than you. He had a one track mind after all, but you were annoyed by the lack of attention. Usually he was all over you but he wasn't today.
You had a particularly long day and all you wanted was some love from your boyfriend. You turned off your phone and laid down, arching your back slightly to look more seductive. You closed your eyes and put your arms over your head. You let out a sigh of satisfaction before opening an eye.
He was still skateboarding.
You groaned a little and sat up. You waltzed over to the skate ramp and crossed your arms. You were visibly annoyed but Mikey couldn't see over all the smoke from the jet on his board. You bit the inside of your cheek and rolled your eyes.
You were determined to get his attention somehow. A smirk grew on your face and you cupped your hands on the sides of your lips.
"Mikey!" You called, your eyes shimmering. "My tummy hurts so bad!"
"Oh no! Not your tummy!" Mikey called, stopping his skate movements in front of you.
"I don't know what to do." You pouted, holding your stomach. "It really hurts."
Mikey frowned and picked you up, carrying you to his bed. You smirked slightly out of view as you laid your head on his shoulder. He got to his bed and laid you down, climbing on top of you and hiking your shirt up to see your stomach.
"Allow me to kiss it better, angel."

The Printer
A My So-Called Hawkins Diary Entry. (actually, 2 entries)
~700 words | Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader MSCL AU
Monday:
50 minutes. That’s how long the study session between me and Eddie lasted. I can’t be sure, but I think the first 5 minutes we sat with our desks facing each other, I stopped breathing. I could see his lips moving, he was talking to me, but my ears were ringing. I don’t think I’ve ever actually talked to him before this morning, not for real. It was like I forgot how to be a person for a minute, like my brain decided to shut down or something. 
It was the way his eyes were looking at the left corner of my desk that snapped me out of it. That and the finger tapping. He was nervous too, for whatever reason, and his brain was just throwing out words for him to say instead of shutting down. It was a feeling that I needed to help him relax, help him pass this exam, that made the gears start turning again.
I interrupted his rambling, something about mnemonic devices as a study aid, and suggested we start working down the list of vocabulary words at the end of each chapter to gauge what we need to focus on. And then he looked at me and smiled. I don’t think I’ve seen him smile like that before. He turned his head to the side, kinda shy like. His hair (still damp this morning) touched the corner of his mouth. I would do anything to see him smile at me like that again. I would give anything to be that little curl touching his lip. 
Eddie’s lips are actually perfect, and the way he says, “deontology” set my skin on fire. How does he do that? Make the most ordinary things so much more. I think if I could feel his breath on my skin while he recited names from the phone book, I would evaporate. Cease to exist. For the first time ever, I want to thank Mrs. O’Donnell. Thank you, you old hag, I got to study Eddie for 50 minutes.
Tuesday:
A miracle happened today. We all got to school at the normal ungodly hour, ready to take that torture session called Mrs. O’Donnell’s midterm exam, and god decided to bless us. The old biddy came in looking ready to spit nails, which is pretty normal for her. But instead of handing out packets of papers, she shook her head and stood in front of her desk empty handed.
The copier ate the exam when she went to print them. I saw Eddie’s shoulders drop in relief at the news, even with Mrs. O’Donnell glaring at him. I swear, she’d blame him if she could. She hates him so much. Instead of taking the exam, we all had to sit in silence and read the next chapter of the textbook. We’ll have an extra 5 days to study for the exam since it’s a long weekend.
And that’s the best part. The studying. Because EDDIE’S COMING OVER TO MY HOUSE IN ONE HOUR TO STUDY WITH ME. He actually asked if I would mind him coming over. (and he fucking smiled like that again.) I told him, sure, that’s a good idea to get more study time in. But what am I going to do? He’ll be here in an hour. ONE HOUR. An hour. One. Hour. Do I make a snack? Do I order pizza? My parents are, mercifully, gone for the night. It’s date night (barf). Mom left $20 on the counter, so I guess I’ll order a pizza, but what kind? Does he like pepperoni? Of course he does, everyone likes pepperoni. Nero’s or Johny’s? Should I get a soda? Pepsi or Mountain Dew? Oh my god, do we study in the dining room or MY ROOM? 
This is so stupid, I’m freaking out. I need to put some makeup on, but like in a way he won’t be able to notice. What if I kiss him accidentally because his lips say, “deontology”? I need to be sedated.

Naruto and H1n0t0's wedding chapter confirms SNS
Today in why Shippuden’s ending actually supports sns case, we’ll analyze the last sequence of the last chapter. (If you haven’t read the previous parts, you can find them here pt. 1&2, pt. 3, pt.4, although it’s not necessary to read them in order.) So, without further ado:
Pt 5. Naruto would rather be anywhere but here
As usual I leave my crappy clip from the scene then we’ll examine the expressions, body language of the characters and some of the editing. There’s very little dialogue but a lot to unpack.
The scene starts with Naruto and Hinata staring up at the Hokage Monument.
Who knows how long they’ve been at it, but Hinata is making the same face I make when I go to the museum and fail to understand why someone takes more than 5 minutes to appreciate a painting (excuse my uncultured ass). She then tells Neji’s ghost she is getting married (as if poor Neji cared) and turns to look at Naruto who is uncannily serious for someone who is about to marry the love of his life.
Tumblr media
We get a close off of Minato’s face and Naruto’s profile, still serious. What is he thinking about? I very highly doubt he’s thinking about the honeymoon.
Tumblr media
Then we get Hinata true to her stalker self, blushing, looking lovingly, dreamingly at Naruto, when Naruto doesn’t even know she’s there. She’s getting married to the man she loves (if you count that as love) so, acceptable, understandable expressions. And I want to emphasize how many expressions of Hinata they show us in contrast to Naruto’s during the whole sequence (3 is being generous).
Tumblr media
One could argue that Naruto is looking back at her, but is he? Then why don’t they show us a broader shot of them staring at each other lovingly? Because that’s not the case. That’s their relationship in a nutshell: Hinata staring at Naruto incessantly while Naruto is barely aware of her presence. Furthermore, when Hanabi and Hiashi enter, making Naruto and Hinata turn around, Naruto first looks at Hinata as if asking “you were here the whole time?” then goes back to serious mode.
Tumblr media
The following shots of the Hyuuga give us so much information. Hanabi is excited, smiling because she has no clue of the farce, while Hiashi is stern as he has always been, but he had changed after the Chuunin exams, didn’t he? Why does Hinata suddenly looks so worried? She was smiling a second ago? The transition of Hiashi’s expression reminds me of that meme where the father says “He looks gay to me, but whatever makes my princess happy.” So, with Hiashi’s blessing, Hinata smiles again. Once more, notice how many different expressions she has, when Naruto doesn’t even appear in the shot.
Tumblr media
What follows is pure gold.
Tumblr media
Is it just me or Naruto takes ages to return Hinata’s handhold?
Next, the first image of this batch is so hilarious to me. Hinata is looking down at their hands as if to confirm it is actually happening. Hanabi is more excited than anyone in the room even when it is Hinata and Naruto who are getting married. Naruto’s expression in images 1, 2 and 6 might have been as well copy pasted. Why? He is your main character, why are you hiding his face on every opportunity. Plus, number 4 is so bad. It looks like he is bracing for battle.
Tumblr media
Naruto asks Hinata if she's ready, and off they go into a mediocre, loveless marriage for the sake of Konoha and Kishimoto’s, SJ and SP wallets. Look at Naruto’s half-assed smile.
This clip is 74 sec long and we only get to see Naruto’s face/head during 19 sec. That’s roughly a quarter of the whole sequence, and even when Naruto appears, we rarely get a close off of his face. Furthermore, when we do get a close off, there’s no range of emotion (watch Dragon Ball or FMA Brotherhood’s last chapter and compare Edward and Goku’s portrayal to that of Naruto). Why would the studio hide the main character like this? Why focus so much only in the love interest and not the couple? Because there is no happy ending for Naruto. He got trapped between duty, his promises and the expectations cast upon him, and the worst part is those who were supposed to look after him looked the other way.
You can read this post in which the author analyzes similar inconsistences across Gaiden and Boruto. The conjecture is pretty much the same: Naruto gave up Sasuke and married Hinata because that was what everyone told him, directly or indirectly, he was supposed to do.
None of these choices are accidental. We saw what the studio wanted to show us like we read what Kishimoto wanted us to read. Perhaps those last chapters weren’t as clumsy as we thought, but we were too hurt by the Last, Boruto and chapter 700 to notice the characters were responding accurately given the circumstances they were facing and the values of their world. And, people can say whatever about us sns being delusional, but Naruto didn’t get a happy ending (I won’t even talk about Sasuke because there’s no doubt that he got the short end of the stick). We know how happy Naruto is supposed to look like.
Tumblr media
So, this is it. Even this wedding fiasco reinforces SNS and now it hurts a thousand times more. Thanks for reading my ramblings and sorry for the quality of the images and the video. I don’t have time to make better edits but I really wanted to share this. I’ll go back to the fanfic world where everything is right.

42!Miles x fem!OC
Part 2 of the 42!Miles x fem!OC series
WC: 1277
Tumblr media
Nonviolent communication.
Nonviolent communication is based on historical principles of nonviolence.
The natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart.
It reminds us what we already instinctively know about how good it feels to connect with another human being.
It was just another night. Another fight for Miles’ attention.
But what do you do when you’re falling and you can’t find anything to hold on to?
Nothing.
It was also the night of Jefferson Davis’ promotion party.
‘For Aaron’, he would say. Anytime someone congratulated him on his accomplishment. ‘It’s all for my family and my brother. May he rest in power.’ Anyone could tell he missed his brother. Did he know Aaron was the prowler? Maybe. But he still loved him. So, in honor of him. He worked hard to become captain and provide for his family.
Miles promised to walk Harmony to the party.
So she got ready. A whole three hours before the party even started. She wanted her makeup to look good, she wanted her hair to look good, she wanted her outfit to look good.
Harmony wanted to look good.
For Miles.
Everyday she screamed for his attention. Sometimes it went unnoticed and sometimes it didn’t.
So she learned to count every blessing. There was no promise for tomorrow so she counted every second he dedicated to her. Even if it was small.
Harmony finished getting ready at 5:00.
The time Miles said he would get her.
Perfect.
5:10.
No Miles.
Soon 10 minutes turned into 20.
And 20 into 40.
And 40 into an hour.
And he still never came.
She decided to swallow her pride and not text him. Harmony wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe something came up, she thought.
Instead of saying anything, Harmony grabbed her bag and did a once over in the mirror before leaving.
The sun was setting and the city was alive. There was the well known traffic as well as the bright neon signs being turned on. Food merchants were still out, eager to sell whatever was left in stock before calling it quits for the night. Groups of friends walked past Harmony giggling about whatever joke was said as they passed her.
The fast life she was used to living was all going in slow motion. She got to appreciate the beauty of the city. By herself.
And she enjoyed it.
When Harmony arrived at the party everyone was there.
Except for Miles.
“Hey manmi mwen regrèt anpil mwen an reta.” Harmony said once she found Rio. (Hey mom. I’m so sorry for being late.”
Rio turned her head towards the girl with a bright smile adorning her face. She loved Harmony like the daughter she never had, always eager to speak to her and find out what was going on in her life.
“It’s no worries hija. We’re just glad you were able to make it.”
A smile made its way on the Haitian girl’s face, her eyes scanned the party hoping to find the Morales boy. Rio was quick to notice.
She knew. She knew the girl in front of her was crushing on her son. She also knew that her son was stringing her along. Rio scolded him about it many times, but each time she was met with a ‘It’s nothing mami. Honest’, and each time Rio would sigh and shut the door.
“We don’t know where he is. We checked his room and he was missing.”
The Jones girl nodded in response as the upcoming Captain slotted himself into the conversation. His glasses were slightly askew from the dancing his family dragged him into, but other than that he looked pristine. As always.
Conversations and congratulations were shared between the two, before they drifted off into Harmony’s studies and how her father was doing.
Then Miles came. With someone else.
Gwen.
Harmony watched them distance themselves from the rest of the party. She saw the way Miles looked at Gwen.
He never looked at me like that.
All the years I’ve known him. He never looked at me like I was everything to him.
“Who’s that?” Jeff questioned looking at the new girl that was hanging around his son. She was different. He knew about Harmony’s infatuation.
Everyone knew.
So he was just as confused as the next person when a new girl showed up with his son while he stood next to someone that would put their life on the line for him.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Her heart was racing. She was here. Next to him. And he looked happy.
Content.
He’s never looked this happy before.
Because it was Gwen. The girl that filled all the pages in his notebook. The same girl that he could spend hours talking about. The same girl that Miles was infatuated with.
Gwen Stacy. Not Harmony Jones
The two parents made their way towards them and ended up dragging Harmony with them.
The whole interaction lasted at least fifteen minutes. And the whole time
Miles never looked at Harmony.
He acted like she wasn’t there.
Even when Gwen dipped off and had to leave.
He never talked to her. His eyes were trained on where the blonde once stood.
Harmony finally met the girl that plagued her best friend’s mind. And she was right. She was the complete opposite of her. They shared absolutely nothing in common except for Miles.
But Gwen had Miles more than Harmony did. So they were back to square one.
Having nothing in common.
Because Harmony had to face the facts.
She couldn’t even say that they both had Miles.
Only Gwen had him.
The only thing Harmony had were distant memories that Miles probably didn’t even remember.
The Morales boy left long before the party was over. He went to follow Gwen.
Much to Harmony’s dismay.
This is what happens when Harmony thinks about him. Too caught up in her feelings. Reminiscing.
Next time I’ll be different.
She thought. She would wait on a sign and then come to the idea that it was time for a different prayer that somehow still revolved around Miles.
A boy that didn’t even see her the way she saw him.
She didn’t like being alone, but that’s exactly what happened when she went home. Thoughts of ringing his line flooded her mind as she laid down on her bed staring at her phone. Wishing that he would come home.
To her home.
Harmony wanted to balance her space. Protect her space. But Miles made it hard.
He gave her just enough to stay attached and hold onto him.
The Jones girl didn’t need the pain but with it stemming from Miles Morales, the hero of Brooklyn. She didn’t mind it all that much.
What’s left of us?
She remembered when Miles would tell her everything. When he was her best friend and would find comfort in her for anything. Now he makes promises that he doesn’t live up to. He ditches plans that he makes for them and says nothing but a mere apology if she gets one.
The same dorky kid that got humiliated on the first day of school. Is the same dorky kid thats humiliating Harmony without trying to.
He let her fall first while he stood dreaming wide awake.
And she’d do anything to be the person on his mind.
Harmony was in over her head and she couldn’t hold herself to be mad at Miles.
Because let's face it.
It was nothing but a state of nonviolent communication.
The natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart.

WARNINGS: Not proof read, none I know of

✧CHAPTER 3✧
Y/n decided to take the day off of school, given Sunoo’s recent… incident. She was in the luxurious greenhouse, laid on her front, on the floors, a butterfly rested on her forehand. A blue, Ulysses butterfly. Its wings delicate, as it peacefully rested on the soft skin of the girl’s forehand. She smiled, it’s striking blue color. People tend to connect the color blue with a deeper connection. 
The butterfly flew off, joining the other fluttering little creatures. She sat up, mesmerized by nature’s blessing… her late mother’s blessing. Sunoo stepped in a little later. Seeing the girl, smiling up at the beautiful view, a small white butterfly landed on her cheek making her flinch just a little, the flutter of her eyelash made the butterfly detach from her skin. 
The girl turned around hearing footsteps, she stood up as she brushed off whatever dust rested on her skirt. “Y/n… I have to go to Hong Kong for a shoot. It'll take about a month, Jay will be staying here while I’m gone… don’t cause him any trouble ok?” Sunoo warned as the girl pouted.
“I don’t want you to leave…” she said, staring at the ground as the male sighed, patting her head. “I’ll be back before you know it sis… I’m leaving in about 2 hours, I know it’s so soon, but there was a last minute change with the flight.” He explained as the girl sighed. She hugged him goodbye 
The girl groaned loudly as she lay on the floor, seeing Jay lock away her car and motorbike keys. “Rules are rules, tiny. Sunoo told me to ban you from your vehicles for a week for that fight you had with Riki.” Jay explained as the girl whined, getting up. “Only 5 minutes in and I already hate you” the girl pouted as Jay sighed. “Why am I always assigned to babysit?” he mumbled to himself. The girl went to her room, then came out approximately 30 minutes later.
She was dressed in a leather, pleated skirt, and a gray, tee with long flounce sleeves, a small rhinestone heart design in the center, as some pretty lines formed wings around it, her makeup was pretty light, the false manga lashes and her moles being the most prominent parts. “Im going out on a walk.” She simply said, slipping her heels on as Jay frowned. “Well there was nothing about not letting you go out, but it’s dark out so be careful.” He simply said, not wanting to be too controlling.
The girl slipped on her leather jacket and left the building, slipping in her earphones as she took a small walk. She just needed some air. She preferred driving in her car, playing  her favorite spotify playlist, and getting herself a few drinks. But God had different plans for her today. As she walked through the alleyway, a motorbike suddenly skidded past her, hitting the wall.
Gasping, y/n pulled out her earphone and approached the rider cautiously. The girl was going to ask if he was ok, but then she recognized the bike, and that board… the male took his helmet off, groaning. “That Motherfucking wanker” Riki mumbled, as he shook his hair out of his face.
Riki then turned to y/n, mad “ugh, you?!” Riki asked, clearly not that thrilled to see you. The girl rolled her eyes as she was about to walk off only to be stopped by Riki. “Where do you think you’re going?” Riki asked, frowning at her, as she just yanked her wrist away from him. “Nishimura I’m not in the mood to put up with your bullshit.” the girl said, her face void of any emotions, the tension was rising, the 2 glaring at each other.
However, a sudden cry broke their glaring contest. y/n turned to where the sound was coming from, approaching the garbage with caution. When she saw what was inside, she audibly gasped, clearly horrified. Y/n gently picked up the little baby, its eyes barely opening as it cried. Riki frowned, approaching the 2 “awh… were you abandoned by your parents?... or maybe they lost you, don’t worry I’ll find them” the girl cooed as she gently rocked the baby, holding it close to her.
“Don’t promise the poor thing, something like that.” Riki warned as the girl rolled her eyes. “Get lost.” she simply said as she walked off with the baby in her hands. “Oi where are you going?!” Riki asked, jogging after her “Taking the baby to a hospital… it’s so tiny and it was in a trash!” Y/n explained.  The girl walked off before getting stopped by Riki again. “Wait- y/n… Let me come with you.”

Persenting ; Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from heaven official's blessing
A/n: took soo long to do so but any way i don't think this makes any sense or whatever so have fun understanding ;). also this is a yandere shit i wrote so yeah but it's not that bad maybe 5/10
youtube
 —------------------------------------------------
“Here please eat it” Xie lian said, putting down a tray of fried fish in front of you in hopes you would eat; but sadly you pushed away the tray looking back at the picture frame. “Won’t you at least take a bite or drink water?”you shook your head. Xie lian sighed before frowning and patting your head.``you know Hua cheng will be back in less than two minutes'' you nod  “Ok so why don’t you be a good girl and finish  your food so he doesn't have to force you to.” you stop glaring at the wall looking him in the eyes but when you did the amber-eyed man wished you just accepted their love.
Your eyes which once used to shine with hope and light now looked dark and gloomy,no not just your eyes but your entire self. You’re not the person you used to be;maybe it was all their fault or maybe it was your’s. Lost in each other’s eyes, you did not hear hua cheng entering the room. It wasn’t until he slammed the door shut that you realized he came in. “ Is something wrong ? San lang? '' Xie Lian asked, worried laced in his tone. The black-haired ghost king looked at you with piercing eyes,before grabbing a chair out of thin air. He sat on it as he looked between you and the untouched food again.” why haven’t you eaten?” he questions, his tone cold. You don’t respond;looking at anything other than him. angering him further wasn’t something you wanted but you couldn’t give up so easily not when you went through so much, Not when you had lost loved ones and not when they had broken you so so many times without a hint of mercy. You had always wondered what was wrong with you,if it was normal to…” why are you spacing out? I asked you a question didn’t I?” hua cheng demanded, grabbing your wrist and forcing you to stand up and stumble your way to him. You stood in front of him but you did not dare to look at his eyes no matter how painfully he held your wrist. You start shedding tears and look at xie lian when it all becomes too much for you to handle. Taking pity on you xie lian stands up from his kneeling position and carefully walks towards you but as he reaches a hand out to help you, the ghost lord stops him.” you treat her kindly, if you want her to obey you then you should punish her for every mistake she makes” hua cheng says pulling you to sit on his lap as he grabs a closed box (from his clothes?) and opens it. Inside are some rice-balls and fish and a pair of chopsticks. hua cheng takes the chopsticks and grabs one of the rice-balls,taking it towards your closed lips and tapping on them. You shake your head and turn to the other side. He sighs before saying “ you don’t have to eat i won't force you to” you look at him shocked at what he just said ‘was he really telling the truth?could you believe him? He won't be hurting you toda..”but i will not take any sort of disobedience from you ever again.” he stated. “ Now will you be good and eat or do you wish for me to treat you like a child?” hua cheng asked you to look into your eyes.  You felt exposed, unable to deny him afraid that he would hurt like he once did so you nodded. Hua Cheng smiled when you took the chopsticks from his hand,but just as you were about to put the rice-ball in your mouth xie lian took the chopstick from you and put the rice in his mouth. which left you and hua cheng surprised and then he lent down and connected your lips to his as you felt something entering your mouthing. you gagged when you realized he slipped the rice from his mouth to yours and as you were about to spit it back you heard a “swallow it” from hua cheng and so out of fear you did. Both men chuckled at your obedience.seems like you won’t be saying no any time soon.

Abort Mission — Red Card
Isagi Yoichi x fem!reader
Tumblr media
Genre: fluff, humor and comfort
Summary: you have the bestest best boyfriend who's very understanding and would do whatever it takes to make you feel better ♡
Warnings: mentions of female anatomy, periods
Notes: wrote this lil' fic for my friend @marycorn after she told me that she wasn't feeling too good today — when you see this, I'm sending you love and hugs ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you came home today, you were sure your day couldn't get any worse and now?
You're sure your day reached its limits. The worst point.
The sofa is soft under your body but everything aches still and you can't even differentiate where the pain is truly coming from.
If only that was the truth. At the back of your mind you know, it's that furious demonic little baby birther that didn't get its will and is now causing trouble for you and your sanity. It feels like thousands of knifes are having a mosh pit in your abdomen.
Your boyfriend whom you live with, doesn't know of his luck but even if he knew, he's the softest bean with you. And with everyone else as long as he doesn't get to step on a football field.
Isagi comes home about one and a half hours after you and calls out to you immediately. "Y/n? Are you there?"
No response.
He feels a little empty for a second but a quick glance to the floor shows that you must be home, especially since your shoes are.
Is she asleep? That could be right? It's quite late after all. But he knows you'd usually wait up for him so he makes his way farther inside and that's where he notices you.
You're laying on your side on the sofa with your body curled into what looks like a ball from behind. A little smile makes its way upon Isagi's lips, that is until he hears a little whimper and sniffles. Oh no.
His feet carry him to stand by your side until he's close enough to bend down to your level. The smile that was once present on his face has now vanished and replaced itself with a little frown as he sees you. He doesn't even have to ask what's wrong, he's seen you like this for what feels like a million times and yet it breaks his heart over and over again.
His slightly cold hand runs through your hair and you are immediately ripped out of your little self-made trance. Your gaze meets his and a pained smile makes itself visible on your pouty lips as you greet him, "Welcome home, Yoi."
Isagi keeps stroking your hair but he can't help himself when a little sigh leaves his slightly parted lips. He wants to say something, anything.
Your uncurl yourself to sit up straight but Isagi thinks one step ahead. His hand that was busy with your hair only a few seconds prior is now situated on your lower tummy as he maneuvers you to lay down again. "Baby, why didn't you text me that you aren't feeling good? I would've come home earlier."
Your gazes meet once more and an unwanted tear slips past your waterline. Gosh, how you hated this. "It's okay, I didn't want to distract you from practice."
Isagi scoffs a little bit, albeit not meaning any harm at all. "You know you don't have to worry about that, I know how your body keeps pushing you month for month. Let me take care of you. Please."
More tears sneak their way out of your eyes to experience the light of the day but Isagi is fast enough to catch them with his thumb, wiping at your damp cheeks like he's wiping his enemies off the field.
"I'm sorr—" You are about to apologize but a soft kiss to your forehead stops your words from flowing. "No more apologizing. You do this every month and I keep telling you that it's fine. Please let me do this for you."
You relax under his gaze and Isagi kisses you one more time before getting up and making his way into the kitchen. You can hear rustling and clanking but with the state you are in right now, you couldn't be bothered less to look after whatever he's doing.
It takes him about 5 minutes to come back to bless you with his presence once again. He squats down in front of you and places a hot water bottle on your lower tummy with utmost care. His voice is soft when he speaks, "This is for your cramps and to warm you up a little, you've been shivering like crazy."
Then he reveals something else he had carried in his hands, "And this is for you to take once your tea is ready." You squint your eyes at the little shaky motion of his hand. Oh, he's holding painkillers.
Another smitten smile of his later and he is back on his feet, "I'll just go take off my jacket and wash up and then I'll be back. Don't run away, I'm bringing cuddles."
You're only realizing it now but he's actually made it his mission to look after you first before taking care of himself. Oh how glad you feel to have Isagi Yoichi in your life.
It takes another 15 minutes for Isagi to come back into the living room but he doesn't come empty handed. Your favorite plushie is in one of his hands while the other carries one of his hoodies and an extra blanket.
By now you're one hour into a movie that's playing long forgotten in the background, the quiet noise filling the otherwise quiet room as the two of you take a nap in each others embrace.
You're wearing a part of Isagi's and have him wrapped around your form. And suddenly you realize, even if only subconsciously, you've never felt warmer than when you're with him.
And suddenly your day is only half as bad as it was before.

Sanji Loves You (SFW/FLUFF)
I wrote this, because I always wondered if I could be loved like this. Yeah yeah dont laugh at me too much😒
Black Fem Reader in Mind
Tumblr media
Sanji’s Heart was pounding, his hands were shaking all day nearly cutting himself a few times during breakfast. He has been planning this for 2 years and after weeks of pep talk from the girls he knew it was finally time.
“Just 12 more hours…”
He was so nervous of a sure thing. He had a thousand and one possibilities roll through his head all day, but the jitters settled when he seen your smile.
“Just 9 more hours.”
Sanji watched you from a far, you looked so much happier now from when you first met him. You were stand offish. You never trusted men due to your past, Luffy, being Luffy helped you gain that trust back, but it was a very slow process, Sanji remembered being so heart broken and helpless when you refused to eat his own cook food for a whole month. But one night he caught you in the kitchen trying make you something to eat, but you didn’t know how to cook.
So he taught you.
You didn’t like being alone.
So he ate with you.
You were afraid of opening up to him.
So he waited.
And waited.
And waited.
It took some time, but you allowed him to come into your circle and you blessed him with your first smile.
He was your first crush.
Your first date.
Your first kiss.
Your first everything.
And you were his.
He couldn’t grasp why he gravitated towards you so hard, maybe it was how he knew what it was liked to not feel wanted or loved. But whatever it was he was so happy to have you.
You smile more, you laugh more, you’re comfortable. You had a rule that you don’t sleep around people you don’t trust, but one quiet night you and Sanji stayed up talking and he felt your weight on his shoulder. You slept peacefully beside him. To this day he makes sure you’re completely safe when you sleep in his arms.
“Just 5 more Hours.”
Sanji had to make today perfect, it had to go smoothly. No enemies. No marines. It had to be today he knew it. It was time to be the man Zeff raised him to be.
“2 More Hours.”
Time was running out. The food was nearly done, but Sanji was a sweaty mess. Nami offered to finish up and made him get cleaned up. He wore a red suit. Your favorite. He remembers your flustered face when he first wore it, how cute you were looking at everything but his face seeing how well he can dress for a date.
He remembers all of your dates with him, the first one was in that very kitchen, then on the deck, then he finally was able to take you out in Dressrosa. It was the first time you both seen so many married couples. He had you yet he still felt jealous. The beautiful rings on each partner’s finger symbolizing their love.
That’s when he asked you,
“Y/N, how do you feel about marriage?”
It was a question you didn’t have much of an answer to but you felt strongly about it now that you know what love is . If he would have asked you a few years prior you would have scoffed and laughed. You didn’t believe in love or marriage.
But he changed that.
“1 more hour.”
Sanji cleaned up real nice. Robin knocked on his door,
“She’s on the deck waiting.”
Sanji sighed heavily, his chest felt small, he went through a whole packet of cigarettes in an hour, he put one back in his mouth just for good measure. He was so grateful you never mind his smoke. He had a problem, but you never faulted him for it let alone asked about it.
He came down to see you smiling and partying with everybody. You stood out like a sore thumb. You never cease to amaze him with your beauty and even with all those around it was like you had a 6th sense to know when Sanji was near and where exactly he’d be because you looked right at him and smile brightly.
“30 more minutes.”
He squeezed your hand tightly whispering in your ear to follow him. It was almost time. He held you close, he loved your scent, your hair, your eyes. Everything.
You were his, princess.
“This is so sweet, Ji! You didn’t have to do all this for our anniversary!”
Your voice was nothing he could ever compare it to.
And that smile.
That damn smile of your was going to be the death of him,
When he first seen you smile it was an explosion in his heart. When you first caressed his cheek it was a burst of happiness in his soul.
You were truly a special case for this man.
“Anything for you, Y/N.” He kissed your knuckles tenderly and looked at his watch .
“It’s time.”
Sanji kept you in the middle of the deck, raising a toast, it was sweet and short, and that was only for what’s to come.
He could’t wait any longer. He tired to spill his entire heart out to you, but he paused not realizing half way through his speed he was already on one knee.
“Sanji…”
The entire ship was silent. If you listened closely you could possibly hear everybody’s heart race, especially yours.
Sanji’s hands were shaking pulling out the velvet box, inside a small ring, shined so brightly in the moonlight you almost and to look away, as one hand still not leaving yours, practically squeezing in anticipation of the next words out of his own mouth he asks,
“Y/N L/N….will you do me the honor of allowing me to be your husband?”
Of course he would word it like that.
Even though your yes was nothing less than an expected answer Sanji felt himself breath again.
You swung in his arms not wanting to let go, with the mixture of kisses and tears all over his pink face, you were filled with a joy you couldn’t explain,
“Of course i’ll marry you, Sanji!!!”
Tears were shared with you and him that night, it was something that you both relive in your minds over and over again for years to come. Moreso Sanji than you now as he sees you playing by the beach with your kids, with that same beautiful smile. He’s so blessed to have met someone he cares for, cherishes, adorns, protects, and most importantly
Loves.
Sanji truly loves you.

OPERATION: TOGETHER, roman reigns and cody rhodes (ii).
Tumblr media
← previous chapter | next chapter →
warnings: cigarettes, curse words, tantrums, trash-talking, fighting
tags: cody being confused in every situation, comical situation, dad triple h again, GIRLLLLBOSS (Y/N)!!!! i'm trying to make (y/n) unlikeable as fuck for the plot
YOU flipped the papers, examining information on it. “next!” paul shouted. you and paul were holding auditions for talents. “god, can this day get any boring?” you muffled a groan, trying your best to stay awake. “come on, where’s the cheery attitude?” paul nudged your arm. you put on a fake corporate smile, not holding it very long when the next college athlete entered the room.
he was eyeing you up and down, clearly not knowing your position in the company. “elliot roberts?” you asked him, studying his profile. “that’s me, pretty lady.” he winked at you. you stared soullessly into his eyes. “call me ‘pretty lady’ once again and you can kiss your career goodbye.” he lowered his head, intimidation creeping in. “you’ll be paired with… you know what, (y/n), you should go in the ring with mr. roberts.” the college athlete gain confidence when he was assigned to you.
“paul, be fucking for real.” “i am being fucking for real.” he mocked your tone. what the college athlete didn’t know was you had a run in the wrestling world back when you were younger. you realized that it wasn’t for you, that was why you were the right person for the creative department. not to mention your dad was also a wrestling coach, god bless his resting soul, you thought. you took off your blazer, leaving you with your black shirt. you rolled up your sleeves, sliding inside the ring.
although the entire industry was scripted, the tryouts weren't. it was a real fight that you had to put up. "hit me with your best shot, pretty lady." that got on your nerves. you quickly dropkicked his jaw, still avoiding non-lethal spots to not damage him. "damn." paul whispered. the college athlete was riled up, excited for the fight. he lunged at you, dropping you on your back. you got back on your feet, locking his body with your legs. he gasped for air and called tapped out. 5 minutes and 30 seconds, you thought.
"are you like," the athlete breathed out. "a wrestler?" he continued. "no, i'm (y/n) (l/n). co-creative director of the company you want to join and you just lost a fight with me. but i see you got spirit." his eyes lit up from your sentence. "so does that mean i'm in?" "you're in for the next tryouts, kid." you went back to the table, fixing your hair. "you sure you don't want to be in the roster?" paul joked. "i'd rather go back to my 9-5 job than be a wrestler. next!"
your professionalism has brought you to places you never thought you'd be in. although you were nervous by the fact that you were going to meet with your ex boyfriend for work purposes, you knew you had to keep it professional. you looked at your watch, it was already 6 pm, meaning you had to prepare for the meeting. you hesitated to enter the room with your papers, but you were ready to face whatever was waiting for you.
"(y/n)!" to your surprise, a certain blond was already sitting down with his earphones. you were startled to see him. "yeah, hello." you greeted him with a simple nod. "hope you don't mind, i brought coffee for everyone." you noticed the cups of coffee on the table. "thanks." you muttered as you drank it. "so about that thing..." you raised an eyebrow.
"what thing?" you asked him. "the roman incident." oh, the incident last monday, you thought. "i never got to thank you, if that's what you want me to say then thank you." cody shook his head. "naaah, i meant..." he was pulling back his words. "i know we're not close and all but if you ever need a wingman, i'm here." his words got into you. "thanks," cody smiled at your response. "but like you said, we're not close and i can deal with things on my own." you continued, being as cold as possible to him.
you didn't understand him at all. he was just some guy from work, why was he being nice to you? does he want a push? you didn't want to take the risk and open up to people. you were scared that you might get betrayed or heartbroken once again. cody sighed, he too, couldn't understand you. he knew that this wasn't the usual you. he heard stories from his fellow wrestlers that you used to be this friendly person who was a party animal and you were all about making people smile. a single heartbreak could really change someone, he thought. "i know, i'm just letting you know." he smiled, a glimpse of pity in his eyes.
"i hope i'm not interrupting something." a shiver ran down your spine as you looked away from cody. "reigns, take a seat." your expression was stern like usual. "hey roman." "hey cody." the two exchanged greetings. you prepared the papers, laying it all in front of them. "we'll just wait for paul. he'll be here in a couple of minutes." you were practically hoping that your boss was here. tension was building up inside the room as roman couldn't stop looking at you. cody pretended to play with his phone, scrolling mindlessly.
a wave of nostalgia washed over you as you remembered a couple years ago, roman was in this office with you, discussing about his future push into this tribal chief-like image. it was all your idea and he loved it. come to think about it, you contributed a lot to his career. you were trying your best not to make eye-contact as he was already burning holes on your skull.
you heard your notifications coming from your phone.
big boss: running l8, elevator is stuck. start without me, i'm taking the stairs.
(y/n): u gotta be kidding me
big boss: no son, i really am taking the stairs.
can things get any worse than this? you asked yourself. "apparently, paul is late. he's taking the stairs, so let's start now." the two wrestlers nodded in unison. "we know that you two are the top wrestlers for each brand. we wanna push you into rivalry." the two stared at each other, not knowing what to say. "it all leads up to wrestlemania next year. your entire rivalry will be based on reigns' greed for the titles and cody's legacy." roman took a notice of you calling him by his last name and cody by his first name.
"the winners for the wrestlemania next year is to be discussed by the board, that's all i can say for today. if you have any questions, shoot now." roman and cody were still reading the contract. "yeah, i have a question." cody raised his hand. "you don't need to raise your hand, cody." you almost let out a smile. "oh right, i just want to ask about this number 12..." he pointed at the paper. "you're fully in charge of this storyline?" you furrowed your eyebrows as you flipped the pages.
fuck, you thought. paul really did make you in charge of the storyline. a sheer of panic washed over you, but like usual, you had to be professional. "yes, i am." you answered shortly. speak of the devil, your boss arrived, breathing heavily due to his current physique. "okay, i'm here now! what did i miss?" by the look of your face, you figured out his plan. "oh." he stifled a laugh.
"it's final then, thank you gentleman for signing the papers. my son will be monitoring the progress." paul took the papers and put them inside his folders. cody raised an eyebrow, "your son?" he asked. "(y/n). now, who wants deli sandwhiches? i'm buying."
so there you were, sitting next to paul and in front of roman, painfully eating your feelings away as you didn't want to engage in the conversation. you didn't know what was going on in paul's mind, but you would rather be hit by his iconic sledgehammer rather than being here. "why aren't you in charge of this storyline? i thought you were still the head-creative director." roman asked, curiosity in his head.
"i think this needs a fresh perspective from a younger person, all those highest-ratings? the idea comes from (y/n). i think she's a great choice for this long-running story." deep down, you felt happy. he trusted you with this big story, meaning that you were doing a great job in your field. "yeah, she did a great job for my bloodline story. thank you, (y/n)." roman chuckled.
you couldn't help but to roll your eyes at his comment. "you should thank yourself for taking all the time you have to polish your career." you sarcastically smiled, anger building up inside you. cody choked on his food, brushing it off by drinking his water. paul patted your back, trying to calm you down. thankfully, the deli was empty, only leaving workers who didn't give a single shit if a fight happened. "and well, i might as well give you some credits. let's say, 'thank you roman for 4 years of nothing but pure shit and lies!' what a fun line!" you continued, not holding back.
the table was silent as roman didn't know how to respond to that jab. "i'm sorry." was all that came out of his mouth. you had enough, you stood up from your seat, not wanting to continue dinner. "gentlemen, thank you for the dinner. i'll see you at work." paul flashed you a pity smile, he understood your situation.
as soon as you exited the deli, you pulled out a cigarette. "(y/n)." you heard his voice again. "stop, don't move any closer." you said. "i'm trying to apologize." roman added. "i don't need your fucking apology, roman." you gritted your teeth in annoyance. "then what do i need to do for you to forgive me?" "honestly? go fuck yourself, roman. don't talk to me unless it's for work purposes."
the two of you were arguing while cody and paul were still enjoying the sandwich they ordered earlier. "order another one, this is going to be a long fight." paul nudged him. "were they always like this?" cody chewed on his food. "nope, nothing like this, the breakup really affected (y/n)." paul sighed. "thought it was true love too, but i guess time for them to go on their separate ways." he continued. “in my opinion? she doesn’t need him, he needs her.” cody looked at the two of you still going off. he could tell that you were holding back your tears. even if he didn’t know you that well, he knew that you were still in love with his opponent.
truth be told, it broke everyone's heart seeing you all cold and distant. but then again, you had to protect yourself from another heartbreak.
“keep an eye out for her, will you?” the sudden question caught him off guard. “huh?” cody muttered. “i mean, i see her as my own daughter. i know she can be tough at times, but i can guarantee that she’ll warm up to you. she’s a good person. you're a good person too. (y/n) is just going through things. keep an eye out, if that’s not too much to ask.” without hesitating, cody nodded. “don’t worry, she’s in safe hands.” this was going to the start of a rollercoaster ride for the 3 of you. maybe it was in his nature to help people, but cody rhodes just signed the best contract in his life and he wasn't thinking about the rivalry between him and roman, he was thinking about making you happy.
a/n: WHO IS READY FOR NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS? me fr! anywaaays like usual, requests are still open pls do send me some requests ^___^

Are you still looking for reasons to yap about Zhongli? Because I would love to hear your thoughts on his relationship with Hu Tao ;w;
I think my favorite thing about Hu Tao and Zhongli is that they're both literally insane. Psychological terrors.
Hu Tao will put a whoopee cushion on your chair and laugh when you sit on it. Zhongli will gaslight you into believing the whoopee cushion never existed and that you just sat and jumped up all on your own.
Hu Tao is deliberate and overt with her pranks while Zhongli is a subtle and mischievous trickster. They both just terrorize the general populace. You talk to them for longer than 10 minutes and you start hearing voices. Zhongli just gets away with it because he has the elegance and aura of a god.
Like Hu Tao will tease Furina by telling scary stories or tales of ghosts while Zhongli would probably tease her by calling her as 'lovely as goddess' or 'a lady blessed by gods'.
People always say Zhongli is cold but he's just a silly little liar like 50% of the time. Lying about being in the chasm, tricked some guy out of two hand-painted fans, led these two fake archeologists on a quest just to deny them of their dreams at the last moment, acting like he's never met the adepti, ignoring venti at the restaurant, hiding from neuvillette, lying to xiao about sesame oil and teasing him at the restaurant like the list goes on, faking his fucking death like he is just a fucking terror. No wonder he and Hu Tao get along well.
Speaking of their dynamic I think they play off each other very nicely. Before Hu Tao was released it was suggested that Hu Tao teases Zhongli endlessly to the point of exasperation but it seems like their teasing is mutual and Zhongli is just being an overdramatic tsundere (like always). Hu Tao makes fun of him at Lantern Rite but he just teases her right back. I imagine Hu Tao is constantly trying to get him to admit or confess to being an adeptus and he always manages to one up her at the last second to avoid saying anything.
I believe the two of them would make perfect partners in any business. Imagine Hu Tao and Zhongli as detectives lol, Hu Tao would chase down the suspect having figured out the case within 5 minutes while Zhongli would already be there waiting for Hu Tao to chase the suspect down cause he figured it out after 30 seconds. They would barely listen to the authorities and do whatever they wanted as long as it wasn't against the law.
But then again they have this really good balance. Hu Tao is a fire force of nature, energetic, playful and proud. But she has a very thoughtful side to her, she's a sharp thinker, with a love for poetry, music, and appreciation for life. Zhongli is much the same. He is thoughtful and caring, kind with a love for the arts, but he is rather mischievous, and a little manipulative with a taste for having fun in his own way. They are tricksters with a love for life and the arts just two very different auras. In many ways I would say they are more alike than different
They even work in gameplay! Double hydro Hu Tao aka Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Yelan and Zhongli is probably my strongest and most optimized team for the Spiral Abyss. I use them like every round and it works.
Unpopular opinion I guess but I have never really cared for the headcanon of Hu Tao as Zhongli's daughter. Not so much as I dislike it but I greatly prefer the crazy boss and even crazier secretary/employee dynamic. No but really the weirdo leader and their insane but incredibly loyal underling is like one of my favorite tropes. I just wouldn't alter anything about their relationship. 
Besides if I were to assign Hu Tao and Zhongli a familial bond it would be siblings with a large age gap. Like siblings that are 10+ years apart so the eldest practically helps raise the younger one but it’s not like they are the parent (they have parents) but rather the eldest is a weird person who takes care of the youngest but also makes fun of them within the same minute.
Part of the reason I love Zhongli and Hu Tao is how much trust is in their relationship. Hu Tao states in her story lines that she trusts Zhongli more than anything and considering Zhongli’s influence in the parlor and how he works with Baizhu, trains the other workers and is in charge of all adepti related matters it is safe to say he has a lot of input even though he is just an employee. Xianyun states it is odd for Rex Lapis to work under her but she won’t go against his wishes and that she must be respectable. So even though Zhongl may suggest he is tired of her, for a 6000 year old deity to pick a job and stick with it it must be a damn good job. 
And their interactions are the best, in the 2022 Lantern Rite when Hu Tao told Zhongli to pick her up after she hung out with Zhongli or the fact it seems they always spend Lantern Rite together which is just the best. Or the poetry event where she kept bugging him to be a better judge but Zhongli was too busy praising everybody.
They may not ever say how much they care about each other but the way Hu Tao checks on Zhongli after meeting Furina because she was worried about him just awww. Zhongli is a dusty old encyclopedia man but he is still her beloved consultant who she cares about. Hu Tao may be a child he cannot deal with but he always looks out for her.
Hu Tao and Zhongli are always competing for the top spot in my favorite Zhongli dynamics they are both two characters I really like and I like whenever they are together even more.
