Diasomnia: When You're Sick
The last dorm, and probably the one dorm you don’t want taking care of you…minus Silver. Hope you guys enjoyed this dorm series, I know I did. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to skedaddle back to work. Also the intro is the same for all parts, so if you’ve read it once, you’ve read it all.

Diasomnia: When You’re Sick
The worst thing to ever happen to you while attending Night Raven College had to be, hands down, getting sick. You were alone in the dorm with only ghosts and Grim to keep you company, and as much as you loved them, they couldn’t take care of you when you became sick. This meant you had to make do and hope that everything was alright. Normally if you were under the weather, you’d just suck it up and go to class so as to not worry anyone. This time however, that wasn’t an option.
You woke up with every muscle in your body feeling sore and aching with even the slightest movement. Your stomach churned something fearsome and you had a runny nose and cough to boot. You had no idea what illness you had fallen to. Having so many symptoms…you could only assume it was the flu or something akin to that.
Still, there was no way you were making it to class like this. So begrudgingly you told Grim you weren’t feeling good and needed to rest, and to go to class and get your homework so you could do it later. The demon cat was grumpy about not having his henchman, but eventually gave in, leaving you alone to rest in your room and hope that whatever you had would go away.
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
Sebek will be the one mentioning you being sick in passing, noting how Grim had been out of control due to your absence. That’s all Malleus needs to hear before he’s sneaking away from his retainers and going over to your dorm. Thankfully you’re asleep when he appears in your room. He’s standing over your bed, looking over you and placing his large hand over your forehead, noting that it’s warmer than it should be. This prompts him to call up Lilia to inform him of the situation. That’s where the trouble begins.
Malleus has no clue how to care for a human, so it’s already off to a rocky start. Lilia himself knows a little bit, as he had to take care of Silver. The thing with Silver is, other than the narcolepsy, he was always a fairly healthy child…according to Lilia. Really he just always missed the signs that Silver was sick or though it was just a quirk. So now you have two fae over your bed, trying to figure out what’s wrong as you slowly wake up and meet their eyes. You might have a heart attack that devolves into a coughing fit as Malleus is frantically trying to help you.
You’re going to be the one needing to tell them they need to get you the school nurse, and no this is not the time to experiment with treatments. Malleus does so, just because you seemed really adamant, and it’s a good thing. The nurse is nervous with both Lilia and Malleus in the room, but eventually manages to figure out how to take care of you, and even noting that the stuff served in the cafeteria is best for your recovery. Once Lilia knows Malleus has it handled, he leaves. Malleus is doing everything the nurse says, with a little flourish of magic, to make you get better faster. He’s pretty good at reading you as well, so if you move slightly he’s already fluffing your pillow to make it more comfortable, and asking if you’d like more water. He can be very doting normally, and it only increases once you’re sick.
Malleus is going to be relieved, but also not trusting that you’re totally better. Be expecting him to take care of you for a solid week after you’re better, visiting you after classes and bringing you meals, as well as checking your temperature the entire time. It’s not that he doesn’t trust your word, he just doesn’t trust the nurse having the best treatment plan. If he could have it his way, he would’ve brought you to Briar Valley to have one of the doctors there check you over.
Tumblr media
Lilia Vanrouge
Lilia had just decided on a whim to visit your dorm the previous night, wanting to see what you were up to. When he found you curled up in bed shaking, clearly still asleep and unaware of your current condition, he decided to just stick around until the morning. After Grim leaves for school, he makes his grand appearance and is asking you what’s wrong. He’s not as concerned as he should be, since he’s seen Silver like this many times and his son has always made a full recovery. Still, he is a little upset to see you in such a state.
He’s not the best, at all, but he kind of knows what to do. He’s taken care of Silver while he’s sick so he assumes he knows what he’s doing…he doesn’t. If you had a fae illness, he'd be perfect. He could treat that almost as well as a normal doctor. A human illness though…well he’s less experienced in that. Still, he’s going to try and do his best before calling the nurse to get whatever medications he needs to hand you. At least he’s willing to call in help once he figures out he doesn’t know how to make you better.
He’s pretty attentive, if not a little teasing while he takes care of you. Again, he knows you’re not dying so he can have a little fun with it. He will try to put some medicine on a spoon and pretend to be a bird as he brings it to your mouth. Show him the most unimpressed look and he’ll break out into a fit of giggles. Just make sure when it comes to meal times, you request being brought something from the cafeteria, letting Lilia know that his seasonings would be too much on your stomach right now. He agrees and brings you proper food, even if he really wants to add something to it.
He’s going to be over the moon when you’re all better, telling you how happy he is and asking if you want to do something fun now. There’s no resting time after being sick, he’s been so good the past few days waiting for you to be better, that now you need to go and do something with him. He’ll be happy if you agree to sit with him in his dorm room and play a few rounds of a video game though. He’s just happy to have you back honestly.
Tumblr media
Silver
He’s another one who finds out through Sebek. He’s half asleep when Sebek begins shouting about how you’re missing and Grim is causing havoc and how he won’t stand for it. Silver only hears you’re missing and after asking he finds out you’re sick. He knows just how bad it can be, being sick with nobody to take care of you. Most of the time Lilia didn’t even realize Silver was sick growing up, so he was on his own. This is going to prompt him to go ahead and check in with you.
Silver is actually pretty good at figuring out what to do while you’re sick. Since he normally took care of himself growing up (even if half the time it was sleeping it off) he at least knew the basics. When he noticed you had  a fever he was looking for things to help with it, alongside something for your cough and stomach. In no time he had all the things he needed to take care of you, and was able to do it without much of an issue. Good news for you, he is very quiet while he speaks to you, so you don’t need to worry about his presence causing you more of a headache.
He’s not perfect at it, but he tries to keep a good schedule up to make sure you’ll be okay. He can cook you something to eat as well, that tastes pretty okay so he doesn’t need to worry about running to the cafeteria before it closes. For the most part though, you both are asleep. In fact, sometimes you need to nudge him awake to grab your medicine, which he will sleepily do and mumble something about being sorry about falling asleep like that.
He’s relieved to know you’re all better and that he managed to help you, but he’s exhausted afterwards. Let him crash at your place and possibly also check in on him to make sure he didn’t catch whatever you had going on. Once he’s awake he’ll just smile and say he’s grateful you’re feeling better, but he needs to get going since you’re both behind on school work. He doesn’t need anything in return for helping you, but if he ever does get sick it wouldn’t hurt to help him out. He was good to you, so returning that favor is needed…especially since Lilia might not even notice Silver is sick…again.
Tumblr media
Sebek Zigvolt
He’s going to notice right away once he sees Grim by himself, doing whatever he wants. He’s going to say the only reason he’s going to check in on you is because the sooner you’re better, the sooner you can control Grim. After all, Grim being crazy can disturb Malleus and cause distractions, and he would be a horrible retainer if he allowed that to happen. Nobody but Lilia and Silver would comment about how he was more fidgety the moment he found out, and how he bit down on his bottom lip, gnawing it with worry for you.
Sadly he’s another one who’s totally hopeless when it comes to taking care of someone else. More or less…it’s a bit disastrous. He’s too loud and causes headaches by accident, and he hasn’t the faintest idea on human illnesses despite being half human himself. Normally when he got sick, nobody knew if it was a fae or human illness, so he was treated for both. Which doesn’t bode well for you since he’s going to use that to try and treat you initially.
Once he realizes his efforts aren’t making you better, he’s going to call Silver to help out. He doesn't want to bother Lilia for something like this, and Silver is the only human he likes other than you. Thankfully Silver explains what to do and Sebek will do so, but stumbles a bit. At least you’ll slowly be getting better, and he’s not an idiot and will make sure you’re eating good food. He’s determined to make you better, and eventually he forgets all about the horrible excuse he told others, letting his worry take over for you. After letting him know his voice is a bit too loud, he’s going to quiet down for you. 
He’s relieved to know you’re better and for a while he’s significantly less tense, and everyone notices. Lilia is going to be teasing him about it, making poor Sebek go bright red since he’s been outed for caring about a lowly human. When you thank him, he’ll go back to the lie he told everyone else about wanting Grim to be properly handled, but the red on his cheeks is persistent enough to let you know that it’s a horribly fabricated lie…though you would’ve been able to tell either way.

One of my most hated fanfic trends is where that pre-Despair treatment by his classmates is depicted as totally okay and not them being unreasonable. It's especially noticeable in RP blogs or Hinanami fics. They'll often depict his behavior in the second half of Chapter 4 as his default characterization, and have him spend every waking second going after the Reserve Course students and doing nothing else.
Which not only ignores the context of him having been mindwiped, having his first impression of the Reserve Course being the discovery that they apparently destroyed Hope's Peak, and the real source of his anger and depression being the discovery that the class are all terrorists (while being left in the dark about the brainwashing). But it kind of misses the entire point of the whole "talented vs non-talented" theme to have the locally mentally ill kid be the sole cause of the conflict.
Like I'm not against the idea of going against canon, and depicting the rest of the class trying to give him a fair shake. I think there's plenty of friendship interaction potential between him and a number of the class (e.g. Sonia, Imposter, Mahiru, etc.). But to retroactively pretend like they were being completely fair to him and he just brought the ostracism on himself is bullshit.
I think a lot of people also miss the fact that the reason Nagito is so outright antagonistic to Hajime about being a Reserve Course Student is because he feels betrayed. He feels a kinship with Hajime due to their mutual love of Hopes Peak, the two were the closest before everyone turned on him, and he's canonically in love with him. So to find out that Hajime is actually not only talentless, but responsible for destroying the academy they both love and plunging the world into despair?
That's not to say all the rudeness is only because of anger, Nagito's actual personality is actually kind of just like that because he has a God Complex and is more intelligent than all of his peers. Any time he breaks character or looks down on someone, he is kind of a bitch, but more in a "I'm smarter than you, please stop arguing with me when you have no idea what you're talking about" way.
I really do wish people would lean into the potential relationships he has with the rest of the cast more. I don't think there's any way Chisa would have let them keep mistreating him, and I was annoyed that her attempt to explain his actions to the class (which actually did get through to them!) got glossed over in favor of the "Everybody hates Nagito" gag.
Some thoughts on potential relationships:
I personally hc him as besties with Sonia post-canon. Not only because she's the most forgiving, because I feel like the fandom makes her do a lot of emotional labor, but I think they would have similar tastes in novels and I think Sonia's own eccentricities would mean that she isn't as off-put by his weird behavior.
I don't think he would be close with Mahiru, because as much as she's caring and doesn't want him hurt, she's also just very judgemental and I think her tendency to verbally attack people would negatively impact his recovery. I think they would get along, but until she learns how to get past her trauma with her dad and stop letting her friends commit crimes, I think it's at a respectful distance.
While Mikan and Nagito are MLM/WLW Hostility™ I do also think they're friends. They like to bitch at each other, but if anyone dares insult the other they Will Destroy Them. I have always thought of them as working quite closely together during the tragedy for whatever reason, it just seems right in my brain?
I also feel like people miss the wild potential of Nagito just adopting Monica. Like, he raises her from like 10 years old until she's a teenager (I'm assuming she's like 14-15 in the anime?), Monica finally gets someone to actually take care of her instead of abusing and abandoning her, and I'm supposed to believe that they just never speak again? Also Nagito saving and caring for this child after spending his childhood an orphan who was put into dangerous situations a lot is a really great parallel.
I like to think he and Akane do a lot of their recovery at the same time because they're both pretty wasted away by the time they wake up, and they bond little by little. They celebrate when one of them moves up a weight class, but Akane recovers faster so by the end Nagito has to remind her not to break his ribs when she hugs him in joy.
Nekomaru is very helpful in coaching him through his physical recovery due to understanding the limitations of a severe health condition and his experience as a team manager. There's definitely a lot of encouragement on Nekomaru's end because a lot of physical therapy can be embarrassing when things that theoretically should be easy aren't. Basically: Akane, Nekomaru, and Nagito all end up as unlikely gym buddies?
Those are just some of my thoughts and headcanons, absolutely take or leave any of that.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chiron directed us into his office sitting us down in the outdated wooden chairs that were in front of the desk.
He stared at us with one of his hard looks, his tail was swinging side to side and I couldn't stop staring at it. " Explain." His voice boomed causing us to jump
We all began talking at the same time trying to explain the scroll situation and the fact we snuck out because we wanted to get our prophecy read again and everything. He raised his hand making us stop.
Jake was chuckling in the back , Chiron glared at him and he quickly stopped. " so your saying your prophecy changed and the scroll….threatened you." We nodded
" We were going to come tell you until well…you showed up." Mr.D was pacing the room behind us scratching his chin
" No one is safe? What did it mean by that" Chiron huffed. " I don't know but the camp has to be on high alert for now on."
" Until I give an all clear there will be no one entering or leaving the camp and especially no sneaking around at night."
He turned towards jake." I need everyone in Cabin 7 in my office in 20 minutes for a meeting." Jake nodded leaving but not before throwing out a wink.
Kayla glared at him as he walked out. " I also need to hear from cabin 5 " Niki nodded
" Due to the circumstances that me and dionysus have to handle we will not punish you." I exhaled the breath I was holding ." But that doesn't mean you're off the hook completely." He stood up " You girls will be running some of the classes tomorrow for the new comers, Kayla you in charge of registration." She groaned
" That means I have to wake up early." He turned towards Niki. " You're in charge of weapons and combat." She smirked " But only for the 13-15 age group." Her smile dropped. " Children really." Then he looked at me." And you get the best job of all." I winced
You're on gift duty, I need you to help the newcomers who have been claimed work on their powers. " I raised my eyebrow " Wait that's all?" He nodded " yeah that's it."
I smiled." Cool."
We left the office walking back to our cabins the sun was beginning to rise. " Looks like I have to get ready." Kayla groaned. " Don't worry how hard could our days be tomorrow, I think it's going to be fun." I beamed
" You're only smiling because you think you got the best job out of all of us but you didn't." I shrugged " we will see." We headed our separate ways walking in to our cabins.
A lot of them were already up doing their morning runs or early morning duties
Today was going to be easy
_______
Okay that day started off easy, you're morning class was filled with kids who were still trying to figure out their gifts and their strength, your work was cut out for you. And you were having fun.
That was until the afternoon class
You reset the bullseye targets back in the ground stumping it in place so I wouldn't fall over. " Niyah." Rose ran over hugging you making you smile down at her. " Hey rue what's up." She was smiling the roses popping on top of her head. " You are my teacher for today." She clapped happily
The rest of the kids started coming into the open field then my smile dropped. Heeseung was one of them.
" You've got to be joking." I groaned
He walked over to me smirking " Miss me fangirl." I looked at him disgust all over my face. " you wish." He chuckled walking away, joining the other kids. I gathered myself putting a daisy crown on my head turning around and smiling
" Welcome campers I'm Niyah of cabin 21 and today we will be working on our powers and gifts we received from our godly parents."
They all looked around at each other awkwardly. " Okay so who wants to start first?" No one raised their hand or step forward. This was already starting bad
" Okay well ill start us off then." I rubbed my hands together shaking them " the important thing about controlling your powers in concentration. You must have a clear head."
The ground turned a light pink and a strawberry bush raised from the ground. Everyone began clapping. Someone scoffed" oh please she grew a fruit that's how your. Going to teach us about control." Heesung rolled his eyes.
I smiled " well heeseung, would you like to show us an example of control." He shrugged " Sure it's definitely going to be better than whatever that is." A couple kids laughed at what he said.
He went beside me and waved me away. I rolled my eyes moving out of his way. He looked over at me." I'm going to show you a real example."
He he looked up at the sky closing his eyes he inhaled . The sky began to turn a dark Gray the clouds only hovering over our heads. Everyone stopped to look over in our area.
Lighting was coursing through the clouds above us giving us a light show then loud thunder was heard loud enough to shake the ground under us. Then it stopped.
Heeseung opened his eyes and exhaled. He looked around and everyone was staring at him in shock. Rose was the first one to start clapping followed by everyone else.
He smiled looking at me and I slowly clapped. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impress, but I could do way better than a thunderstorm.
" Thank you heeseung for that great example, now let's get target practice." Everyone got into 3 separate lines facing a target .
" Okay Penelope you go first." The little girl with a red streak in her hair braided in to a ponytail stepped up
Her hands were sweating and shaking " Hurry up." The boys behind her taunted heeseung glared over at them. " It's okay Penelope take your time."
He said tapping her shoulder making her smile. She nodded she exhaled and directed a quick whistle at the bullseye causing it to rip the center.
I applauded " Great job Penelope." She lifted her head up smiling and gave heeseung a high-five as she skipped to the back of the line.
The rest of the time was spent working on new tricks and strengthen what they already had
" Okay everyone last exercises grab a partner and show them what you've learned." I smiled.
Everyone partnered up. I looked up and saw Heeseung partnering up with rose.
I sat down on the ground and watched showing off their new or enhanced skills.
Rose was showing heesung her new skill which was growing a tree and changing the colors of the leaves which ever she wanted.
The boys from earlier we snickering behind her making me frown my eyebrows. " Wow I thought you were the son of Zeus why didn't you partner up with someone stronger, instead you partnered with a child."
" Shut up." Rose said stumping her foot the tree crumbled to the ground She turned back around facing him. " It's your turn."
Heesueng nodded waved his hand in the air a gust of wind surrounding him a rose in a calm tornado way. " That's so cool." She gushed he smiled at her. " You can do better than that." The boys yelled. " Leave him alone he's still learning. " She returned back." If he could make a thunderstorm then he can make a tornado." The air started to shift around everyone it to change and I hopped up.
" Do it." The boy said over and over again. Heeseungg was losing focus. Then the tornado grew bigger
" Oh no." I said running towards them. " Rose move." I yelled she looked over at me as she was thrown up into the air.
Heeseung was slowing control. "Oh no." He yelled trying to control the air but it wasn't working. Rose was screaming in fear then it stopped. The air around her disappeared
She was falling
" I got it." Heeseung yelled trying to start it up again but I pushed him out of the way.
" You've done enough." Dionysus and Chiron were running towards us as I conjured a big banana leaf catching her.
I bent down and held her in my arms as she cried in my shoulder. Everyone started crowding around us. " I didn't mean - I'm so sorry I thought I had it." People started to whisper while looking at him
Niki and Kayla were right beside me checking on the girl that was shaking in our arms. " Who's responsible for this?" Chiron asked looking around but no one said anything
" I am sir." Heeseung said " I thought it would be cool to show off. I was wrong and I ended up hurting someone." He looked at rose " I'm sorry." " Follow me then." Heeseung nodded following the minotaur to his office . " You can leave now." Niki said making everyone skater
This was going to be a long day you could feel it.
—------
When dinner came around everyone was back to normal rose was sitting with her friends and you were with Kayla and niki. But heeseung's table was empty with just him, Jake and jungwon. " I wonder where everyone went."I Said looking at the table " no one wants to be around a demigod who can't control their gift." Kayla said resting her chin on her hand " it's honestly sad."
Dinner was over and you were making your back to you cabin " niyah wait." You turned around and heeseung was jogging to catch up to you. " What." I continued walking " I wanted to apologize again. I didn't mean for that to happen I swear. Those boys just kept talking and it was frustrating me. I don't know what happened. I continued walking, " Your mind wasn't clear, literally the first thing I taught this morning." Heeseung ran in front of me blocking my way. " I'm sorry about what I said to you when we first met. I was just upset about everything that's been going on."
I opened my mouth to speak when a loud bang was heard the ground shook and I fell forward heeseung catching me " Are you okay." He was looking down at me. I nodded then another bang was heard. A loud siren blared through the camp. " FURRIES RUN." someone yelled heeseung looked towards the way we walked from seeing a crowd of kids running towards us. He grabbed my arm and we ran.
Overhead furries were flying over us screeching. " How did they get in?" I yelled. We slid down the slide of the hill with everyone else. Trying to make it to the " Safe area." Ares and Artemis kids had their bows pointed up at the sky firing at it. Niki was in the front directing everyone where to run.
" The barrier must of broke." A girl was was grabbed by a fury screaming and thrashing her body. I gasped touching blade of grass growing it and making it as sharp as a needle throwing it in the air hitting the beast. It dropped her. I conjured a calm breeze to gently level her down to the ground.
" That was cool." Heeseung said I shrugged . " that was child's play you should see me in the winter." The safe area quickly approaching.
I stopped running ushering everyone toward the big cabin. Kayla ran towards me laying her hand on my back trying to catch her breath. " I -I can't find niki." I looked over at the people still running in fear. I scanned each face.
And she wasn't among any of them. I looked at Kayla and she nodded like she knew what I was thinking.
We both ran the opposite direction bumping into campers as we tried to make our way back to the front. "Niki." I yelled for her but their was no response.
We ran until their were no more campers around us and it was just silence.
" Somethings off." Kayla whispered I nodded agreeing with her. " I don't hear any birds." Then we heard a loud scream.
We ran towards the sound to see a furry on top of Niki. She had her sword in front of her blocking the furry from her face as she layed on the ground.
" shit." She cried out as she was losing power in her arms.
" I knew it was you." The furry said smiling down at her " 18 year old Niki Huntsman you've grown so much." I could see her arms shaking " Kayla she won't be able to hold on for long we have to help her." Kayla nodded making her way on the other side of the forest and I kneeled down.
" it's been years since I've last seen you and your little flower friend. How is she?" The furry pushed the sword down more and Niki screamed the blade cutting her hands. " Oh don't tell me you don't remember me, you're the one who did this to me." It glared down at niki showing how it only had one eye and half a face
" oh I thought all furries looked as ugly as you." She breathed out. It stirred at her " I should have killed you the day I saw you Huntsman or none of this would have happened."
Niki was kicking her feet trying to get her shoes off
If she could only get her shoes off
Her mind was racing, is this how she was going to die? To the hands of a beast and not in battle? What would her father think? What is her mom going to do without her around? She had to find a way out. The tears were flooding her earlobe. The sword was inching closer and closer to her throat " 1 down 5 more to go."
An arrow flew through the air percing the furry in the left wing causing it scream out in pain niki enough time to slide her self from under the creature.
I turned around to see Jake holding his bow up with another arrow attached to it. " Go get her." He yelled I nodded running down grabbing her and pulling behind a tree.
The furry tried to go after us but Kayla throwed a rope around its neck pulling it down to the ground. She put her foot on the rope holding the the furry low to the ground. " Let go of me." It shrieked out loudly. Jake slid down the hill throwing another rope around its neck.
" plant your feet." He groaned trying to keep the bird like creature from flying away. " I don't need you to tell me what to do." She gritted pulling back trying to keep the beast down.
Heeseung and jungwon appeared by our sides helping us up. " You know splitting up never works in the movies right." Heeseung said helping me to my feet. Niki was being picked up by jungwon.
Kayla and jake groaned as they were being lifted from the ground. " Don't you have charmspeak or whatever." Jake wrapped his hand around the rope tighter for a better grip." Yes I do but I'm not in the headspace to use it right now shithead don't you think I would have used it sooner." A big yank was given to Kayla rope and she fell forward almost losing balance.
Heesung ran down grabbing a rope out of Jake's bookbag and throwing me one " come on." He tied and arrow at the end of the rope grabbing Jake's bow. I grabbed niki bow that was discarded beside a rock doing the same thing he was.
" Aim for the wings." He raised the bow up and I did the same shooting it. The beast screeched, heesung did the same grabbing the rest of the rope that was left over. " Pull." We all pulled together with all the strength we hand. It hit the ground hard knocking it out.
Kayla and jake bent over trying to to catch their breathes. " Wow we work good together" Jake said holding his hand out towards the beautiful halfblood. Kayla scoffed, slapping his hand away from her." You wish." She walked away from him quickly pulling me into a hug.
We walked together were niki was leaned against a tree and jungwon was beside her.
She was finally wide awake, wincing at how much pain she was feeling.I reached I'm Jake's bookbag grabbing the bandages I saw earlier wrapping them around her hands.
We all gathered around her. " That was too easy." She breathed out. " That wasn't challenging enough."
Jake scoffed. " We literally just saved you from death. How challenging can it get?" " Trust me, this is a way to ease something that doesn't feel right." She tried getting up. I quickly put my hand behind her back so she could lean on me and Kayla did the same.
We helped her walk on our way back to the Safe Cabin. " It's almost like this was planned." Jake throws his bookbag over his shoulder catching up with us. " Well we can figure this out later but let's get as far away from this thing as we can, I have a feeling if it wakes up were not going to win again." Jungwon guided us back to the cabin.
" How did you know where to find us?" I asked them, Heesuung shrugged " when I saw you and Kayla run I tried following you but I got lost but I saw someone and he directed me to where you were , jungwon and Jake decided to tag along. I frowned my eyebrows " what do you mean you saw someone everyone was already at the cabin when we went to look for niki."
" It was some dude who seemed weird and had dark glasses black leather jacket." I stopped walking. " Did you say black leather jacket?"
" And black glasses?" Kayla finished. Heesung nodded, " it was a trap." Niki breathed out. " I should have seen it a Mile away."
My breathing became uneasy. " I'm confused." Jake said " what's going on." " this whole thing was a trap and we fell for it." The ground began to shake again making us all fall to the floor.
" We have to go, come on." I got up grabbing Niki and we all ran to the cabin. A low growl was heard through the forest. Jungwon grabbed Niki from us, picking her up bridal style. Making it easier for us to run.
The birds began to swarm in the sky almost blacking out the sun.
" He's near." Kayla yelled we slid down a hill heesung grabbed my hand helping me up as we continued to run. " Who's near What the hell is going on." The ground underneath us was turning to ash. " The prophecy that's what's happening."
Niki yelled looking over jungwons shoulder thier was a figure in the distance. " What prophecy." Jake grabbed his bow connecting and arrow to it just in case something happened
"6 demigods being led by one of the big three descendants shall shake the lower and upper kingdoms, changing it forever. And I don't know if you counted but there's six of us and you heeseung are the son of zeus." Niki yelled obviously scared for her life like the rest of us. Her cool attitude crumbling.
" And it said we will be tested soon and this is definitely the test and we totally failed." The cabin was in our view finally " the dude you guys ran into was not just some random dude." We slid over a log as the air around us becoming foggy and cloudy from the smoke.
" It was an entity, a vision, a delusion, a trick to get all of us together" Chiron was standing at the door waving us on trying to get us to inside.
" What you saw was the father of all gods, his name is kronos." The cabin was in the eye's view but something was off about it. " Is the cabin getting farther or are we getting slower ."
Just as jake said that everything went dark, we stopped running. " Circle." Heeseung ordered and we all put our backs to each other. " Everyone stay alert he could be anywhere."
All that was heard was our breathing , the Grey smoke that was surrounding us was blocking our vision from everything around us. " I thought Kronos was locked up somewhere." " he is but that doesn't mean he can influence people, he doesn't it all the time." Niki had her sword drawn ready to fight when the time came. " He's very manipulative you be surprise how many people he's possessed to do his dirty work."
We heard a leaf crunch and niki raised her sword ready to fight.
κανείς δεν είναι ασφαλής
" what the hell is that." Jungwon said
κανείς δεν είναι ασφαλής
" it's kronos."

So, this is a complaint about my parents, i have health issues, I also have an essay due in 4 days, I've been working on the essay since saturday but on sunday i had a bad health day so I couldn't work on it, my mother has been largely helpful but has repeatedly mentioned I should've started earlier/"shouldn't do this to myself again" over the course of the last three days. Today just now I snapped, saying that I had a different essay to work on 2 weeks ago was met with 'well dad was telling you you needed to start all last week' I explained that I finished the last essay on sunday, and the next day my dad was immediately pressuring me about the next one, I didn't have a class with the guy in charge of the essay until wednesday and he's slow to come back by email so even if I'd emailed him on monday i would still have probably had to wait to get the recommended reading for the essay on wednesday, I didn't have my library card with me on wednesday due to accidentally leaving it behind, struggled to get the sources for the essay on thursday only getting three from the library, but on friday I went to three different libraries and couldn't get them. Thus started studying and working on the essay in earnest on Saturday when I found the remaining two online thanks to the power or piracy. Granted there are definitely moments I could've been working already on the essay. But I literally didn't have all the sources until Saturday, didn't have what sources I needed until wednesday, couldn't look for them on wednesday after getting my library card/college ID due to a family thing so really at best 2 or 3 days in the difference.
My parents of course do not care about any of this and in their opinion were just trying to say it to me while I am insane and quote acting more aggrieved than a population that's had war crimes committed to it.
This is patently unfair! The fucking 'you know your healths like this so you need to be better organised' shit is constant whether or not I have assignments due, but the fact that they just would not miss an opportunity to repeatedly blame me for the pressure I'm under with this essay in particular is the whole reason I lost my temper. Like yes, absolutely I could've emailed regarding the recommended sources for the second essay two weeks ago while working on the former one, but I was under pressure over the first essay then and I didn't think of it, yes I could've started reading the sources I did have this week earlier, but I was focused on getting the other ones because this essay literally requires at least 5 of the recommended reading sources so I was anxious about it. It might be my fault but repeatedly criticising me over it and then acting like I'm bullying them when they gang up to tell me not to act like the victim over my mother repeatedly doing this little dig about starting sooner next time, fucking any chance she gets. (it might come from a place of concern but it doesn't make it easier to deal with when I'm trying to work) Gah
Oh darling. Take a moment, take a deep breath, just give yourself a second to decompress. It sounds to me like you've done the best you could with what you had access to under the circumstances.
As for your parents? Even if your parents are normally supportive that doesn't make them perfect and that doesn't mean you can't be hurt by/frustrated with them.
It's a common trap for even the most supportive people to fall into the mindset of "you can just plan/schedule/organize around your illness" despite that not always being possible.
Things happen, emergencies crop up, you can't force other people to operate on your own schedule, sometimes feeling/being overwhelmed just halts you in your tracks, etc etc.
I'm sorry that you're having these issues with them and while I always advocate open communication if it's safe I do know that sometimes it's not an option/doesn't work.
Just, take a few hours, take a warm shower or eat a snack, something that helps you unwind, and give yourself that moment to reset.
If you're feeling up to it maybe see if you can reach out to your teachers to get a list of essays/resources you might be coming up against in the future way ahead of time so you have more time to get your materials together.
If that's not an option then just keep doing what you're doing, try your best, and know that what matters is that you're still pushing forward.

I am Interested in you Kiyo Sticks Around AU... it's a v neat idea and there's so much to dig into there. The complete destruction of the sense of self... the rest of the class having to deal with there being a very clear guilty-as-sin murderer among them. So much potential.
If I can ask though: what, in this AU, would trigger his (or at least the start of his) disillusionment with his sister? Because I think that would sit very very far in, for the process to even begin. And at the same time it's needed for him to do any meaningful character change.
(cont.)
On a (semi-related) note I believe Kiyo would use each and every potential argument he could find to defend his sister if anyone were to point out that her behaviour was. Bad. Not matter what weird leaps of logic or contradictions he ends up with. Korekiyo Shinguuji: Ultimate Mental Gymnast.
Tumblr media
thank you!! i really appreciate such thoughtful and kind feedback! honestly, i got invested in the concept of the au because while i love kiyo and wish he had a chance at redemption obviously, i also think the way chapter 3 played out was a massive flop that missed out on a lot of interesting possibilities, especially due to the double murder thing. just WHY introduce the concept of getting a freebie murder if you're not going to elaborate on it whatsoever??? similiarly to the first blood perk in chapter 1, it just served no purpose and felt pointless to even be brought up. all it did is make the trial like, ten minutes longer? but with kiyo being behind both murders, it was really just. meh. quite anticlimactic.
i ended up rambling a lot so the rest is under the cut
i think as far as kiyo's character goes, he's written in a way that makes redemption... quite impossible, very much by design. his entire identity and sense of purpose is tied to the idea of his sister so, so strongly that you cannot separate it without giving him a significant case of ego death... and even then, i think it would take significantly longer for him to find his footing than the spawn of any dr game. not to mention that whatever coping mechanisms he would come up with, would realistically suck at least as much as his coping mechanisms to losing his sister in the first place.
as far as the au goes, i don't have it fully figured out - because again, kiyo's written like an existential nightmare -, but i figure there would only be an opening to even trying to reason with him through significant emotional attachment (in the au's case, to shuichi, but also because i'm a sucker) that chances are, would be bothering kiyo in some level already. he does not make attachments, and when he does, they are in the pursuit of his studies or his mission to look after his sister. he observes, he studies, he doesn't get involved. maybe the closest he gets to people is the superficial connection he makes with his future victims in pursuit of finding out if they are worthy to be killed. he calls the v3 cast his friends, when it is clear they either straight-up disliked him the whole time through or just begrudgingly accepted his presence (not that that isn't the case with the entirety of the cast, but that's a different story entirely).
what i'm saying is, making a genuine friend like shuichi through his FTE's, would bother him i think already, because it is just so alien to him. i think you can perceive that through the kind of relationship dynamic he upholds with shuichi - they are the same age, but he's only comfortable with his closeness in the context of academic roles.
in the rough outline that's in my head for the au so far, there could be an opening through the argument on the caged child ritual not working -> the legitimacy of kiyo's possession being questioned. i think there is certainly leeway there (maybe a class trial with his sister persona as the main character? could be fun), because kiyo is anything but unintelligent. he knows of grief responses and mental illness, and i don't think it would be impossible to get him to see reason - especially if one could find holes in his story.
of course, this point truly depends on how the writer wishes to see kiyo (in this case, how i wish to carry on my au), because the game is just so gimmicky and unbothered when it comes to portraying mental illness. i don't personally think kiyo would have DID - though he certainly feels like he could fit the criteria of some dissociative disorders, from a dissociative disorder haver - as much as dealing with a very deeply ingrained tulpa situation. however, i think the possibility of recognizing his sister persona as his own mind's creation instead of genuine spiritual possession could help him gain a little bit of cognitive distance. that is not to say that his sister persona would cease to exist imo, even if he no longer wanted it to - which could lead to another interesting change in dynamic and a possible reason for his distance from the persona that was solely created to be a vessel for his irl sister's wishes.
i think even if you build down from kiyo's not being possessed by his actual sister but coping with the worst possible grief response you still would have to take a Lot of time to get to kiyo's actual irl sister may have been bad to him. i think even if kiyo got to accepting the fact he was abused by his sister, he still wouldn't try to find her accountable, because of their unique circumstances, her illness and isolation. i think there is anger there, but pushed so deep under the surface that it would probably take years of therapy to unpack. i imagine this is the kind of emotion that fueled near 100 murders of girls his dead sisters' age. however, facing that is definitely not something that would happen in the time spawn of the killing game (implying kiyo would survive to the end), and i think he would still take the mere implication extremely bad. like you said, ultimate mental gymnast for sure.

Withered Love(Part 1/3)
Something I cooked up for a performance output of mine for school. If my teacher somehow saw this, you do not know me nor do I know you, aight?
Summary: Two guys fall for each other, one is too early whilst the other is too late as both come to a misunderstanding that leads to the death of one under the petals and flowers, thinking that the other doesn't feel the same way.
Chiluc Modern!Au
Warning/s: Might be occ but Idc, hanahaki disease, mentioning of star tear disease, heartbreak, miscommunication, death, 'So close yet so far'.
+Hanahaki Disease: Where one feels or thinks they're receiving one-sided or unrequited love and causes the person to cough out petals that over time, if left untreated or taken care of, will grow into fully bloomed flowers in the lungs. +Star Tear Disease: A fictional illness similar to Hanahaki Disease, where subjects of unrequited love start to cry colored tears similar to stars accompanied by a crystalline breaking sound or similar noise, but unlike the flower disease, it's uncurable.
[Place And Date: College Campus, Start of The Year]
Loud chattering filled the messy hall of a college campus as the new year of school had began after the warm, hot days of the summer break.
"Hah… Another year, another inferno…" a student mentally sigh as he walk through the groups of people at the hallway. His name is Ajax, a sophomore student who had a not so good reputation during his freshman year at the same college. In the last year, he was one of the students who are barely in class and would often be caught skipping many, as much as the school tried to do anything, they couldn't as despite skipping many classes, he still had a manageable score every exam and report card.
"But I have to do this for a better life…!" He thought to himself as he reached the classroom for the first class. As Ajax took a seat at the very back of the classroom, a couple of girls near where he's sitting at, whispering at each other. "Have you seen him? I told you he looks nice despite the reputation last year," one of the girls not so quietly whispered. It was then he knew they were talking about him due to the mentioning of a kind of reputation.
And as words and rumors flew like leaves or birds on the wind, the new freshmen and other sophomores had started to pile and approach Ajax every so often, 'Am I that popular already…?' he thought once more, and so, the mayhem began.
Over the weeks, despite others wishing the popularity, Ajax doesn't like it. He wasn't the all straight-As type student, he rather go out somewhere and skip the entire school day for all he care. But he can't do that as some student either on the sophomore like him, or in the freshman trying approach to so call 'flirt' and 'hit on' him. It's mostly the female ones too, yet little the students knew, that isn't his preference.
[Place And Time: Hallway of Campus, Break Time]
Ajax was on the hallway lounging as he had nothing to do, yeah, he can leave and skip the whole class day. But it turns out, he was missing a few assignments and work to pass due to some times where he decided to cut and skip class.
As he was deep in thought to remember every missing college work he needed to do and pass, the hallway suddenly started whispering against each other, once more, mostly the girls whispering something about a senior?
'Huh, that's something…' he thought, he barely knew anybody from senior year, the ones who had already reached the last or third year of college, he was a sophomore, second year. But despite everyone seemingly wanting more of the dude, he shrugged it off and left the hallway to something more quiet of a space.
As he turned to a corner, he suddenly bumped into someone. Himself colliding into the other person's chest before falling to the ground. Ajax groaned as he rubbed his butt after falling onto the floor, "Hey.. Watch where you're freaking go… ing.." Ajax paused as he looks up to see someone who suddenly made his heart thump louder.
A beautiful, handsome being of a man stood in front of him, a confused look on his gorgeous features, the man's fiery red eyes complementing his red hair. It was as if time and everything around him slowed down as Ajax looked at the man. As Ajax was staring, the man spoke, bringing Ajax back to reality, "Hey… Are you alright?" the man spoke before Ajax suddenly stood up frantically, "YEah, yeah... I'm fine, really…" Ajax nervously chuckled and dusted himself off as the redhead continued to look at him in confusion.
Just before the red head could speak, somebody called the man which made him turn around. By the time he turned back, Ajax was gone.
Ajax sighed heavily as he catched his breath, one hand on his knee and the other on his chest as his heart pounded and thump through his chest like a drum. As this was happening, one thing was the only thing on his mind as the red head look at where Ajax was last seen and thought of the same exact question, heart softly thumping on his chest as they thought….
'Who was really that guy?'

hi :) - 9.19.23
Hello, my name is Presley. I am 20 years old, and I am currently in my first semester of law school.
I am also extremely mentally ill. I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression in the 9th grade, having dealt with suicidal ideation since the 5th grade. I am a suicide attempt survivor, and I have been on mood stabilizers ever since. I was also diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago.
Due to my mental health issues, life hasn't been particularly easy for me, especially when it comes to basic life skills like time management and the ability to accomplish basic tasks.
I finished at the top of my class in high school and kept a high gpa in undergrad simply because I am smart, not because I applied myself and worked super hard. I am a terrible procrastinator. My brain can only start working on something if there is an impending deadline, and even then I still struggle to do it.
As you might have already inferred, those habits don't fly in law school. In law school, you have one exam at the end of the semester worth 100% of your grade, built on ALL the material you learned throughout the semester (and you learn A LOT of material in law school). There is no way to cram right before your exam. You must manage your time wisely throughout the semester to stay on top of your work and ensure you have a good handling on the material before you move on.
I am currently struggling to do just that. I am six weeks in, and I am massively behind. Executive dysfunction is very real and it is crippling. I struggle with simply starting a task, and finishing it is a completely different beast.
My brain loves to hyperfixate on things, and 9/10 it is not the thing I need to be focused on. As a result, I will have a laundry list of things I need to do, but find myself unable to do them because I am only focused on that one thing.
However, my brain also says that I must get everything on my to-do list done before I can call it a night. Therefore, I will lose sleep and STILL not get anything done. I was recently awake for almost 48 hours because I told myself that I couldn't sleep until I checked off everything on my to-do list. By the time I finally gave in to exhaustion, I had yet to do anything on it.
It is also extremely difficult for me currently to perform even basic life functions. I've already missed several classes because I simply couldn't find the energy to get out of bed. When I do, I feel like I've run a marathon before I even walk out the door just from waking up and getting dressed. By the time I get out of class, all my energy has disappeared. It takes everything in me just to feed myself at least once a day (and I usually love to eat). When it comes time for me to do work, I am absolutely drained, and my work seems so overwhelming and unapproachable.
All of these things have caused me to be extremely behind on school work, and that is a difficult thing to sit with. Especially when you need to do well because you still have to graduate undergrad, and you have scholarships you need to keep.
It also doesn't help when everyone else around you seems to be well prepared and fighting for the top spot. It makes you begin to wonder if you're even cut out for it, even though this is something you want more than anything else in your life.
Please don't worry about me though. This isn't my first rodeo. I've been dealing with these issues for the past 8 years, it's just that the stakes are much higher right now. I am in therapy, I am taking my medicine, and I have a wonderful support system of family and friends. After everything I've been through, I believe in myself enough to say that I will make it out on the other side, and I will finish this semester strong. I'm just going through a rough patch :)
I am simply here because I would be writing these things down in my personal, private journal anyway, but I want to share them in hopes that they reach someone who needs them. I've made it my mission since I was finally diagnosed in the 9th grade to help break the stigma around mental illness and mental health issues. I want people like me to know that they are not alone in this, because I want to know the same. I also want them to know that feeling these feelings is nothing to be ashamed of and that it's okay to ask for help, because I would be six feet under right now if I had never realized that and gotten the help that I needed.
If you're going through some tough times, just know that I'm sending so much love your way and that I believe in you. You're doing awesome with the hand you were dealt! <3

literally abt to cry remembering what i went through my freshman yr when i took algebra 1 (context i was 14 and severely struggling w autism and general mental health issues)
my teacher made us take notes which were just example problems and then the work had completely different problems so the notes were no help to me, and everytime i tried to ask for help he'd *try* explaining it and when i still didn't get it he'd accuse me of just trying to get him to give me answers and eventually would completely ignore me when i asked for help
then at the end of the year, like last 3 weeks of school, he told us as long as we were passing we could do nothing. i was passing so i did just that, nothing. after three days of doing nothing he confronts me ans asks why im not doing my work. i was confused cuz he said as long as i was passing i could have free time, and literally the day before that he sat down with me watched me play mario so i was very confused. he told me no, i have to turn in my missing work from days i was absent due to mental health. I said ok, but i dont have any of the work or notes because i was not here. he said ok look through this pile of work and see if anything you're missing is in there. it was too high for me to reach(im 5'1), he said he wasnt gonna look for me. He also wouldnt let me get on a chair or anything to reach. so i looked through what i could reach and found nothing. i told him this and he basically said "well sorry but you cant have free time so you're still gonna have to find a way to do your missing work".
i dug up everything i could find and one of my amazing smart friends gave up her free time to help tutor me so i could get my work turned in. and then he quickly tried to stop that by claiming that we were just sharing answers... because... she was teaching me in a way i was understanding???? he kept yelling at us and would vulture right over us because "i know what you're doing" even tho she was literally just teaching me, she wouldn't give me answers or hints or anything she was legitimately teaching me.
he also had something against me throughout the year i swear cuz hed single me out over everything, once he almost sent me to the office cuz i was drinking juice in a cup and there was a rule that only water was allowed in classrooms. he completely ignored the girl behind me with a clear mcdonalds cup full of sweet tea literally right behind me.
i have a sibling going into high school in the next two years who shows a lot of the same signs of mentall illness i do. We may not get along due to them being the golden child but i swear i will come back and scream at the school myself if they try to put them in his fucking class i am NOT letting my sibling go through what i did.

What to Expect When Facing Criminal Charges: A Guide for Defendants
Tumblr media
Criminal charges are serious matters that can have life-changing consequences on your future. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or felony charge, knowing what to expect during the criminal process is vital for ensuring you get the best possible outcome.
No matter what, you want to work with a qualified legal team like our criminal lawyer Indianapolis firm so you can mitigate as much risk as possible. No one wants to spend the holidays behind bars, and you want all the support necessary to lessen the chances of missing out on your family life.
The Arrest and Booking Process
When you are arrested, the police will take you to the station and book you. This can be stressful, but it's also an opportunity for the police to gather more evidence against you. During this time, they may search your person and belongings, fingerprint and photograph you, ask questions about what happened or why they were called out in response to your actions, and generally try to figure out exactly what happened so that they can charge the right person with violating whatever laws apply here.
You'll spend some time waiting in a holding cell before being arraigned by a judge or magistrate, at which point bail will likely be set if applicable. If no bail is set, then expect detention until trial without the possibility of release on bond due simply because there isn't enough evidence yet.
The Pretrial Phase
The pretrial phase is the time between an arrest and a person's arraignment, which is when they are formally charged with a crime.
During this time, you can meet with your attorney and plan out your defense strategy. You may also have other opportunities to gather evidence or interview witnesses before they testify in court.
The goals of this phase include:
Working out plea bargains with prosecutors (if applicable).
Preparing for trial by gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses who will be called to testify against you at trial.
Reviewing discovery materials provided by prosecutors so that you can prepare yourself accordingly when it comes time for trial or plea bargain negotiations.
The Trial Process
The trial process starts with jury selection. The prosecution presents its case first, followed by the defense presenting evidence and witnesses. After both sides have presented their evidence, it's time for the jury to deliberate and decide on a verdict. If you're found guilty of a crime, there are many different ways this could play out:
You could receive probation or community service instead of jail time.
You could be ordered to pay fines.
If applicable, you could be required to attend anger management classes or drug counseling.
You’ll get jail time.
Finally, if none of those options work out for you (or if your criminal lawyer Indianapolis team doesn't think they'll work), there may still be hope at sentencing. That's when your lawyer makes another plea for leniency based on mitigating factors such as mental illness or substance abuse issues and maybe even brings up some good things about yourself, like volunteer work or being a good parent.
Sentencing and Appeals
Sentencing is the punishment for a crime. The judge has the final say on your sentence and can use discretion to determine what sentence to give. They may consider mitigating and aggravating factors in determining a sentence.
After you have been formally sentenced, there is still hope. You can move through the appeals process. There may have been evidence that came to light after sentencing or some other errors that occurred during your arrest, trial, or treatment that can be exploited to overturn the final outcome.
Don't Forget to Remain Silent Without a Lawyer
Of course, there are many rights that you should be aware of. You have the right to remain silent without a lawyer. Not only is this a right, but it is also your obligation! You do not want to offer any explanations or further evidence by misspeaking to a legal authority. You never know who is listening, and you don’t want to overplay your cards.
Follow the golden rule any criminal lawyer Indianapolis team would tell you – if you do not need to speak, then don’t!
The best way to avoid the pitfalls that come with facing criminal charges is to be prepared. If you know what to expect, it will be easier for you to navigate the legal system and make informed decisions about how best to proceed with your case.
Gather all your documents, take a deep breath, and follow the advice of a qualified criminal lawyer Indianapolis team like ours.

I'm currently bedridden as a result of hormonal shit as it intersects with my autism (truly a new one; I was not expecting that starting HRT/getting my period would also make the symptoms of my autism more severe), so to pass the time I'm making an Accountability Post about my new year resolutions.
A lot of resolutions fall on their faces due to nebulous goals or ill-defined steps to completion; "go to the gym more" is a great one, but if you're not defining what "more" is, you're already off to a bad start. So the method I came up with was integrating a "traffic light report" into it. "Came up with" is a strong phrase; I lifted it wholesale from a tool we use at work. The theory is that if you separate a complex change into "stop doing, keep doing, start doing", you can more easily take steps towards completing each one.
Goals should also be fluid; I'm going to be reviewing the list every 3 months to ensure that any value drift is incorporated into the plan and that the ambitions are consistent with the amount of time I have available to achieve them. One of the things I miss about being in my 20s is that I seemed to have a lot more time on my hands, though that could very easily be mistaken for "remember how much time you had to spend on your goals when you were unemployed?".
Stop doing: Doomscrolling on my phone. This is a pretty easy one to knock off. I picked up this bad habit from my ex, and it only got worse in lockdowns because it was the only way I could keep up with people and get the news. Problem is, in the same way as videogames, it's mental health junk food for me. Feels great when I'm doing it and feels fucking awful when I stop. If I've been playing a game for several hours, I usually have a mild panic attack when I stop. Phone usage is a bit harder though, because I don't have an internet connection at my house, and because we use phones for so fucking much these days. I've currently got about 75 tabs open, most of them recipes, and I dread to look at the amount of time I actually spend on the nightmare rectangle. "Giving up Twitter" was actually easier than I thought it would be, as it's no longer particularly safe for trans people now that Phony Stark has taken over. I've noticed that my phone is a stim-tool more than it is anything particularly gratifying, so guess who's about to invest in a bunch more sensory tools? I've also noticed that knitting fills a lot of my fidget needs, and having an in-the-round project on the go in my cavern of a handbag lets me fill small gaps in time with something to do with my hands without having to commit to a full row of something worked flat. Masking my autism Truth be told, this whole "your hormones affect your autism" thing hasn't been all bad. It's made me realise how much of my life I spent masking, and having good autistic role models has made all the difference on this front. Autism acceptance has come a long way, even in the last 5 years. Transitioning socially was this big break-point of "you're about to do a thing and you're going to stop blending into the background as a result of that". I got through it by taking the dual view of "if you learn I'm trans and you suddenly don't like me, you never liked me", and "I'm trading my comfort for safety and not even getting safety. If I'm going to be in danger, I may as well be comfortable". Fortunately I live in a part of the country that isn't complete dogshit for trans acceptance. But back to the autism for a sec; wearing sunglasses and headphones when I need them makes all the difference, even when people go "what the fuck" when I do so in the supermarket. I bought a set of communication cards last year, and just having them at my disposal has been a relief because I have other options to communicate. Fiancee and I are going to be taking Auslan classes (I already use Auslan a bit) to reduce the verbal burden on me in public, both in terms of communication problems during sensory flooding and also voice dysphoria. More to the point, I have the right to exist in the world and take up space, and I'm no longer going to apologise for not being born with a neurotypical brain. They can fucking deal with it.
Making excuses not to go to the pole studio My pole studio is owned by someone I went to school with, and I had severe interpersonal problems with her sister in addition to having a punch-on with her brother at one point. I consider it water under the bridge, but they sure as fuck don't. Fact of the matter is, most of my pole problems are caused by interpersonal issues. I butted heads with another member of the studio several years ago, which can basically be boiled down to creative differences in not-for-profit accounting practices as well as not wanting to get sued for fraud by doing it her way. There's also an element of "there are huge numbers of mirrors there, and I have an eating disorder", but that's getting better with time. But because of the risk of running into some people I'm not super fond of, I've opted to steer clear as much as possible. That's gotta change, I don't do nearly as much apparatus work as I should. Likewise, given that I'm now running on estrogen, I don't have to be afraid of hitting the weights room anymore. Last year when I took my leave from work, I basically trained like a professional athlete for the entire month, and nearly died when I came back to the office and everyone was complimenting me about how broad my shoulders had gotten. Like, thanks folks, but I don't feel good about this at all. Gym will let me get the "fit girl" aesthetic that I'm going for, and I don't have to be afraid of growing a man's body anymore.
Keep doing: Cooking my own meals I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made on this front; for many years, I wasn't allowed to use the kitchen (whoo domestic violence!), and sort of forgot how to cook. I also got pretty bad anxiety about even being in the kitchen. I enjoy making my own preserves and making a bunch of food from scratch, including sourdough, cakes, cookies, etc. It's also better for me than whatever the fuck I was doing before, but that's also on eating disorder stuff. One thing I do have to work on though, is making a dessert once a week. I avoid sweet foods like the plague, and consigning an entire group of food to the "do not cook" pile because of internalised body image problems isn't particularly healthy. Also, paying a dietician who says "it's ok to have something sweet a few times a week" and then not following that advice seems a bit like I'm pouring good money after bad; don't ask for advice you're not going to listen to.
Gender affirmation Sure, having to replace an entire wardrobe of clothes is fucking expensive, but my "boy clothes" no longer fit me properly, and make me feel like shit when I wear them. My op-shopping buddy will be out of rehab in a couple of weeks, so at least I won't be running the gauntlet on my own. I'd like to learn how to do makeup a bit better as well, but that starts by actually geting out the tools and do some.
Watching new shows and listening to new music Fiancee and I have vastly different views on what constitutes good media, and it's also a reason why we'll have to have slightly different living spaces when we live together. While I wouldn't say her tastes in what's on the TV are bad, as such, I only have a limited amount of patience for Twitch and Youtube. At the same time, she doesn't like the more grounded and drama-heavy stuff that I watch. Lately when it comes to TV shows and movies, I've been watching it once and that's it (which is fine, even though it's a bit atypical for an autistic person), but I've been listening to the same 1600 songs on a loop for the past couple of years and it's getting a touch old. On a different note, I need to watch shows more readily when they're released, rather than waiting 6 months "just in case they're not renewed".
Start doing: Eating more vegetables Fresh fruit and veg has gotten really expensive over the last few months, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Bestie Jade and I have a joint vegetable garden at hers, but we're not likely to see fully self-sufficient output from that garden just due to the confined space. Even so, there's a "seconds" fruit shop here in town, and they actually have a pretty good range. It also helps that I'm vegetarian and don't have to cut meat to make room for it, but historically my diet has been a bit too heavy on pulses and prepackaged protein with not enough vegetables in the mix, and I definitely feel better when I have more fresh fruit and vegetables in the mix. (Breaking news: local demigirl discovers benefits of a healthy diet)
Actively reducing household waste This one's been shitting me off for years. I have a deep-seated dislike for single-use packaging, which is a sentiment a lot of people seem to be joining me in. Probably the best buy I had last year was a roll of beeswax wrap; I have no idea how much plastic wrap I saved from landfill because of it, but it would have been significant. Health food shops will usually let you bring your own containers. Fiancee and I have started transitioning towards reusable consumables services that basically give you a permanent container for your, say, dishwashing liquid, and then you send back the plastic bag that the liquid came in and they refill it. The return postage is also included in the subscription cost. Granted, this adds to the CO2 footprint a bit, but if there was already going to be fuel used to take the rubbish to the tip, I consider this a win. It'll also be much less of a concern the more that logistics transitions to renewable energy sources. Besides, going to the health food shop gives you access to a whole bunch of stuff that just straight up isn't at the supermarket. This isn't a "wellness culture" thing, the benefits of wholefoods and low-processing are nebulous and subjective at best, but the fact of the matter remains that it's the only place I could find soybeans or linseeds.
More longform journaling Most of what I did on Twitter was use it as a mindfulness tool, and while a character limit did make me get to the fucking point, it also reduced my ability to write coherently on a single topic.
Diversifying my income sources Outside of my civvie job, I run a business. It's been pretty dead for a while industry-wide, but just having my job not be a singular point of failure for income was a good thing. My professional interests have changed, which is fine, but it does need a fucking good overhaul and a new business plan.
Interior decorating My house looks like a hellscape at the moment, but due to changes in rental laws, I'll actually be able to do shit like "hanging paintings". I'm installing a whiteboard to help with my executive dysfunction, and I've been meaning to organise and decorate my kitchen. I moved house on average every year all through my 20s, and I never thought to make my space more pleasant.

sunday | new message from: sukuna
sukuna: I put your keys by your desk. If you're wondering how you're even back at home I drove you back. Idk what you were thinking but I don't have any type of romantic feelings for that girl, I only fed her because she wanted to try the food I was eating. I do apologize for neglecting how you felt about me. I only ever did it because I felt the same. It feels so stupid liking someone, let alone you. I don't like how it feels. I'm too used to being alone that I didn't want to let you get to my head. I understand if you want to distance yourself from me. But please, for the love of God, be careful when you drink. I hate seeing you cry. You look so stupid and dumb when you whine. I don't like it. I don't wanna be the reason you make those ugly faces. It'll fuck with my head. I've been meaning to give you the gift I got you for your birthday so I left it on your table. I hope you feel better, dumb girl.
authors note: the gift sukuna got her was a necklace that had his birth stone (zodiac stone) as the charm, while he got himself a matching one with her own birth stone. both necklaces had came out to be around almost three thousand dollars given that he made sure the chains were real. he made sure to remember every little thing she told him, including her zodiac

congratulations on your bachelors degree slug! can you give us tips on managing the workload and how you were able to talk to your counsellors about early grad? i’m a freshman in college and hope to transfer for junior year and finish then :)
Thank you very much for the congratulations! Put under a cut for length.
Your school will likely have a much different process than mine. I apologize; I will be a bit vague about the details, but a huge part of why my university worked so well for me as opposed to other schools (which I really struggled with) is because it was almost entirely self-paced. Because of that, if I wanted to take a year's worth of courses in a single semester, I could, provided I showed I could handle it. It wasn't a complex process. In your case, you will probably have a lot more graduation requirements and fiddly things to deal with, so bringing it up to a counselor now and making a roadmap towards graduation is a very smart idea. Be really careful! You don't want to end up in a time crunch due to perquisites, fall-only/spring-only classes, etc. If you're outside of the US, this may not apply (but still, please talk to the counselor), but plan ahead to take summer classes too. You'll probably not be able to do a lot of internships, extracurricular activities, or other fun/enriching things. Is the trade-off worth it? Maybe. In my case, I was paying for most of my tuition, so only paying 2 years of tuition vs 4 was a huge motivator for me. I was also working full-time and otherwise not living the typical college student life, so I already didn't give a shit about missing out on the social aspects of college. For some people, though, that's a big deal breaker.
In terms of managing the workload, again, your situation is probably going to be different. I've been lucky to have a lot of flexibility; when I was working full-time, my workday started in the afternoon and ran all evening, and when I was doing contract translation work, that could be done literally whenever. Likewise, my classwork could be done almost whenever, so I was able to shift things around as needed. My school also didn't have a lot of busywork since it emphasized self-management; it was on me to figure out how much I had to do in order to pass exams and complete projects to the necessary standards. With that being said, some general tips for time and workload management:
Plan out your time in advance with flexible scheduling. If you've been around for a while, you may remember how I always put up monthly translation calendars with daily translation goals. I almost never did the day's goal on the day itself (just because I kept moving things around as I responded to other workloads likewise shifting) but I always made sure everything was done before the deadline, aka the month's end. Flexibility is fantastic if you can have it! It allows you to absorb sudden shocks (accidents, unexpected new work coming in, illness, etc.). But if you're dealing with 12 hours of work in a day when you're only awake 16 - 18 hours, it's vital to have a game plan to know how you're going to fit that all in. Calendars, daily task lists, etc are all good tools to do this. I'd be happy to show some of mine if they're wanted.
Learn your peak hours of productivity and use them to their fullest extent. For me, I am most active in the morning (usually 5 am - 1 pm or so) so I try to shift all my hardest, most energy-consuming tasks to those time slots. Other people are most active in the evening or afternoon and should commit to those as their peak productivity hours.
Use wait times productively. Since my disability prevents me from driving, I use public transit a lot which is often sloooooow and boooooring - but I can use that to my advantage! During the unpleasant six months of my junior semester where I was averaging about 80 working hours a week (two jobs + a year's worth of classes in six months - and then there was Hypmic and housework and shit to contend with of course), the overwhelming majority of my coursework was done on the train to and from work. Before that, I printed light novel pages or grabbed Hypmic screenshots to translate during those commutes. Nowadays, on days when I know I need to run errands, I bring my self-studying textbooks with me and pencil in working on those during that timeslot. Outside of public transit, there are lots of other situations when you may lose chunks of time waiting - waiting for a ride, at a doctor's office waiting room, etc. Plan ahead, and if you find yourself in a situation where you're wasting time on your phone or whatever, know that that's a good time to spend a few minutes studying from a textbook, doing flashcards, finishing a worksheet, etc.
Budget downtime for yourself. Energy is a resource as much as time is. If you're working yourself into a crash state on a consistent basis, you're likely to burn out. Most people schedule themselves at least one day off a week to allow themselves time to relax and have fun. I... do not for a variety of reasons, but I'm very much an exception to the rule and not the rule itself. Please plan time to recharge. Having a certain time to "clock out" at the end of each day is also a wise idea.
Be diligent in taking care of yourself physically. Your body can't work at 100% capacity constantly, especially if you aren't taking care of yourself. Be mindful of getting enough rest, even if that means setting a strict bedtime. Make sure you're eating enough, at whatever times are appropriate for you, and with balanced nutrition. If you have the time, exercise is also vital.
Learn how your brain works best and go with it. What works for one person you know may not work for you. If you're not sure how to begin with this, try different strategies out and reflect as you go on what is effective and what isn't. Tweak things as needed until you feel comfortable and like you're working with yourself instead of actively fighting against yourself.
I think I'm making it sound more stressful than it is, but graduating early or otherwise managing large workloads isn't usually an easy process for anyone. I think of it as a battle I have with myself to be the very best that I can be each day, which requires a lot of discipline, training, and mindfulness of my thought processes. I don't always win this fight, but I take note of what didn't work and then try again the next day and the next to do better. Best of luck to you in your education!

confessions; but not remembering it
ft. kita shinsuke, sakusa kiyoomi x sick fem!reader
genre: fluff
masterlist
a/n: this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and then i rushed bc i was getting tired 🙃 also. sakusa's is a little ooc. sorry ab that
-» ˚⸙͎۪۫⋆
Tumblr media
» the clean yet musty smell of rain filled the gym as the boys practiced. it was a surprisingly humid and rainy spring day today here in the country side of hyogo
» "achoo" you had been sneezing and coughing all day. you also had a terrible headache but took some medicine to see if it would help. the spring allergies really getting to you
» you didnt reay have the time to be worrying about yourself. As a 2nd year manager of the inarizaki team, (recommend by suna) and the boys working so hard practicing for nationals there was no way you'd let this little cold get in the way. you had to work just as hard as everyone else!
» "hold on, im about to hang up your jerseys to dry"
» "i got you guys some fresh towels!"
» "i can run and grab that coach. im headed that way anyways"
» the coach called for a short break to rest up for a bit. everyone was sore and exhausted from practicing every day. "here. i filled your water bottles up!" handing them to all the boys. "y/n you're all wet" akagi sounded concerned.
» "hm? oh its alright. I'll dry off in a minute. i took the shortcut to the drinking fountain to refill your waterbottles instead of taking the long way" you nonchalantly said. "so you ran through the rain like an idiot?" suna threw a clean towel over your damp hair and ruffled it. "suna!! stop!! you're gonna ruin my hair"
» "like i said. its alright" you reassured the boys.
» kita, on the other hand had noticed your fatigue. although he wasnt as perceptive on peoples feeling and thoughts as well as others, he could easily pick up signs like yours. he admired you dearly for how hard you always work for the team. how you willingly did anything to make them smile. how you always put others first before yours. needless to say, he had a bit of a crush on you.
» "l/n san. i think you should take a break too. there's no need for you to be running around for us while we're resting" kita assured you. "i still have a few things left on my list to do.. but afterwards I'll take a break!" kita let out a sigh. you were stubborn sometimes and kita knew you were the kind of person to not stop until you're finished.
» "I'll be right back. i gotta grab the laundry"
» making an excuse to leave, your heart was beating fast. you knew kita's words were the kind he'd say to anyone, but it made your heart feel fuzzy when he'd look out for you.
» the stone cold captain who you thought he was, actually was so kind. he was just a little awkward like you, and a little blunt with what he said sometimes. but you learned the great qualities he carries and how much he actually cares about others well being. he was a hard worker and you couldnt help but absentmindedly fall for the captain.
» running up the stairs to the second floor of the gym, you felt a shift in your step. head becoming dizzier than it was just 5 minutes ago. legs trembling, you started falling before feeling a presence behind.
» kita's arm wrapped around your waist, supporting you in efforts to not letting you fall over. "i told you to rest l/n san" kita said sternly. "you wont benefit anyone if you keep overworking like this."
» you knew kita was right, but you really didnt want to rest knowing you'll be letting the team down by not working hard.
» "i promise I'll rest as soon as im done with this one thing" pleading with kita. he let out a sigh, knowing you really wouldnt until you did finish so he allowed you to do so.
» finishing grabbing all of the dry jerseys and bringing them downstairs to pass out to everyone, you didnt really notice atsumu and osamu spiking volleyballs at each other until aran yelled
» "y/n! watch out!" honestly, you were too tired to move out of the way so you figured, it do be like that sometimes, and allowed the ball to hit you.
» or... so you had planned the ball to hit you.
» kita stood in front, blocking the impact of the spike that you had prepared yourself for. there was agitation in kita's eyes. more than you usually noticed when then twins were miss behaving. concern washing over, he looked you straight in the eyes
» "... is there something wrong kita san?" lifting up his hand to your forehead, he let out a sigh. "why didnt you tell me earlier you had a fever", then walking over to the coach meanwhile atsumu and osamu come over to apologise for being reckless.
» "get your stuff. we're going home" kita said bluntly.
» "huh? but practice is-"
» "please l/n san. for me"
» kita would only take yes for an answer this time. no if's ands or buts. so here you were, walking home with kita. only the sound of raindrops hitting your shared umbrella being heard.
» muscles starting to ache a little more and your legs becoming more tired than they were when you left the gym, you began to walk a little slower every step
» "get on my back l/n" "its ok kita san, i can walk. its already enough that you're walking me home" "i didnt ask if you wanted to. im telling you to"
» you couldnt tell if it was the fever that made your face warmer or if it was kita's words. nonetheless, you got on kita's back. he was a lot stronger than he looked and you couldnt help but stifen at being so close to your own crush like this.
» "relax. I'll make sure you get home." he reassured. you leaned into his back, warmth seeping in, your eyes began to feel heavy.
» "kita san" "yes?" "thank you for always watching out for me"
» a comfortable silence was met as the sound of rain filled your ears.
» "kita san" "hm?" "did you know..." your voice softened "i like you a lot kita san"
» did he hear you correctly? if he wasnt paying attention he wouldve missed what you had said, being drowed out through the pitter patter of water. now his heart thumping louder than ever before.
» "l/n san-" he was about to go on but was met with the gentle rise and fall of your chest and the soft snores of you on his back, knocked out from exertion. kita let out a light chuckle, finally relieved you were resting.
» you had missed the next day of school, but when you came back the whole volleyball team bombarded you with love.
» "WE'RE A FAILURE TO NOT NOTICE YOU FEELING SICK" atsumu cried. "how could we let our one and only precious manager get ill for taking care of us" akagi, clearly dissapointed in himself. "please let us know when we can take care of you too y/n" aran said.
» "its no big deal. really!" waving your hands in defense. "it was just a small cold. but i do have a question though"
» all the boys gathered around to hear what you had to say
» "how did i get home?? i really dont remember what happened after i almost got hit by atsumu"
» it shocked the guys honestly. you genuinely didnt remember a single thing due to your fever. "wait? you don't remember kita taking you home?" suna replied, your face becoming red. "k-kita san took me home-?" "yah. he left in the middle of practice to do so" osamu added.
» immediately, you got up to find the captain that apparently took you home the other day. he was in the storage closet cleaning and grabbing the equipment for todays practice.
» "kita san" "oh. l/n. glad you're feeling better" his smile brightened the musty closet. "about that, im sorry for troubling you and having you take me home the other day. i honestly dont remember what happened after i almost got hit by atsumu. my mind was really fuzzy that day, but im truly thankful for you going out of your way for me. it really means a lot"
» kita was dumbfounded. you really dont remember? "no need to apologize l/n. it was my responsibility as a captain. and afterall, what good would i be if i couldnt even take care of the person who means the most to me"
» your heart raced. 'person who means the most to me' ? cheeks blushing a rosy pink, you were internally thanking the musty store room from being dim.
» with arms full of equipment, kita walked by you and stopped.
» "by the way l/n san. did you know?"
» ears perking up at the vague yet familiar line
» "i like you a lot too l/n san"
Tumblr media
» now we all know sakusa HATES germs and for the past week and a half, he's been telling you to keep up with washing your hands, wearing a mask at all times even when you eat omi it doesnt work like that. pls especially since you are prone to getting sick easily no matter how hygenic you are. your immune system just hated you. PERIODT
» you remembered sakusa scolding you for running out of hand sanitizer and then the next day you were out of commission. bed ridden with laryngitis, cough, slight fever, the whole works. it was like your body was making fun of you or something
» you texted komori, asking him to take notes in class for you and relay homework information while you were at home resting up. but there was one request you had and made komori PROMISE.
» DO NOT TELL SAKUSA YOU GOT SICK
» "he's probably gonna notice your absence y/n. he'll find out about it either way"
» "well if you dont tell him then he wont know. its not like he even cares about where i am like that"
» "thats what you might think. but i know he's gonna say something i can garuntee it"
» the next day at school, sakusa did notice your presence missing. it was quieter not having a 3rd person in the group of friends. not having you around to talk to him when komori was gone.
» pulling out his phone to text you, he asked where you were that day.
» "on a family trip :D !!! forgot to tell you, but I'll tell you all about it when i come back!" you wrote, attaching an old selfie of a different trip you went on to make it more believable.
» you had hoped this silly cold would get better in a day, but soon that day turned into 2 and then 3 and then 4... you pretty much missed the whole week of school at that point
» Friday rolled around and komori was on his phone all day. sakusa noticed his cousin fidget in his chair more than usual and it irked him to see him like that
» "what's with you today?" one eye raised, sakusa finally asked. "uhhh nothing really" komori wasnt very good at keeping secrets lets just start off with that, but he was trying his best.
» "well clearly somethings wrong. you're fidgeting." "well haven't you noticed somethings been different all week?" komori hinted
» sakusa sat there in thought. nothing's been different? he ate the same breakfast he usually does every morning. all his studies have been well. there were no tests this week so there was no reason to be anxious like komori was and even if there was, he would've done well anyways.
» "just tell me what it is." sakusa was starting to get annoyed. "y/n..." komori started. "y/n?" "do you know where she's been this week?"
» did you not tell komori about your family trip? you usually told komori everything, but then again you didn't tell him either until he asked you about it.
» "she said shes on a trip?" he nonchalantly said. komori's eyes started watering. "A TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL THATS WHAT IT IS" he blurted out. komori didnt mean to let it slip , he was just so worried about your well being.
» "hospital?? what are you talking about. did she get injured on her trip?" "no omi. shes been sick all week and her mom just texted me saying she went to the hospital today because shes had a fever for 3 days straight. there is no family trip"
» sakusa's heart shattered. you were sick and didnt even tell him?
» before both he and komori knew it, his legs were running faster to get to the hospital than he had ever imagined he could ever run.
» and there you were. fast asleep in a bed with an IV drip. your face flushed, forehead sweaty and shallow breaths escaping your chapped lips. you were a hot mess but sakusa didnt care. stepping to your bedside to greet your mother she explained to him that she had to go to work and asked if he could watch over you until she gets back.
» sakusa said yes without even hearing the whole thing. his heart and mind saying yes to whatever it took to get you to feel better.
» gosh how he hated hospitals, but what he hated even more was the fact that you were in the hospital and he didnt even know.
» the doctor came in for their evening round and ensured sakusa that you were indeed getting better! your fever had broken not too long ago and your body was working extra hard to heal itself up!
» "is there anything i can do to help?" sakusa asked. he felt helpless in this situation just watching your face distort in uncomfort every now and then, and coughing your lungs out.
» patting sakusa's shoulder, the doctor told him that just being here for you is enough. "you gotta be a strong boyfriend for her alright son? she'll be able to go home tomorrow first thing in the morning if her fever doesnt come back"
» sakusa slumped in his chair at your bedside, the doctors words ringing through his head. 'boyfriend huh?' he thought to himself. "if i was her boyfriend..." he whispered to himself, "i would be a failure for not even knowing my girl was sick..."
» to kiyoomi, you were beautiful. even now in this sad state you were in. deep down he locked these growing feelings he had for you inside of him because he always felt like you were a better match with someone else and after this stunt you pulled of lying to him about going on a family trip, it only made him feel worse.
» it was now night time and you finally began to stir in your sleep, the fever finally gone. sakusa reached out to move some hair that was stuck to your face, fingers tracing the outline of your jaw. your eyes slowly opened and met with his dark orbs.
» "y/n?" "saku- wait this is just a dream. omi wouldn't be here. he hates hospitals" you let out a forced laugh and then a sigh through your sore throat.
» you reached out to sakusa's hands that were resting on the side of your bed. "omi would never let me hold his hand because he'd say im passing germs to him so hopefully dream omi wont be the same" you were aimlessly talking to yourself, not even realizing that this really wasnt a dream.
» he squeezed your hand in return. hoping that you wouldnt let go any time soon. a funny smile appeared on your face just at the thought of him. "even if you're stupid for not realizing how much i like you... i cant wait to see you again omi" you whispered before falling asleep again.
» sakusa didnt know what to do. he sat there frozen in his chair. it was his first time hearing you call him omi. heck. you literally just confessed to the boy. his brain was running wild. groaning in distress he let go of your hand to step out for a breath of fresh air now that you were back asleep.
» it was 5am and your mother came back to the hospital and thanked sakusa for staying by your side. He left in a hurry to make sure you didnt see him there.
» Monday rolled around and sakusa was waiting outside of the school gates for you. he had planned on asking you about your "trip"
» "good morning sakusa!!" your bright and cheery voice rang through his ears. honestly he was trembling inside. the memory of you confessing to him still fresh in his mind.
» "how was your trip?" you stopped dead in your tracks. "haha... it was good !! sorry i forgot to get you a souvenir" you were trying to play it cool but sakusa could tell you were forcing yourself. "i wouldnt want a souvenir from where you came from so its fine" sakusa's words threw you off. "i - im not sure im understanding what you're saying sakusa?"
» you felt a tug on your hand. "dont you mean omi?" his voice husky as he whispered into your ear. cheeks flushed, your brain felt like it short circuted. you've always tried your hardest to not let it slip that you want to call him omi since he hated when people called him that.
» sakusa smirked at your cute reaction he got out of you. letting go of your hand he began to walk into the school leaving you at the gate dumbfounded. "and by the way. you're just as stupid for not realizing how long ive liked you too"

Beomgyu | Let Me (VII PREVIEW)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Beomgyu x Fem!Reader
Genre: Hogwarts!AU, angst(?)
Word count: ~700
Warnings: mentions of death, grief
Author’s Note: Because I have starved y'all enough already by now, I decided to post a little preview for the final chapter. I'm still missing a bit, so I ask for just a tiny bit more patience! Also, no taglist for this one, since the full version is hopefully coming soon. Enjoy ❤️
Masterlist | Chapter VI
Tumblr media
You were beyond frustrated at this point. Not only did you have difficulties with some new spells, but you also began to struggle with the ones you thought you had already mastered now. You were ready to cry when you embarrassed yourself in front of the whole Defense Against the Dark Arts class, trying to show your Patronus. But it didn't work. Deep down, you knew it wouldn't, but you still hoped for a miracle. After all, it's been a while since you casted that one.
But this wasn't coming out of nowhere. You had linked your Patronus to your grandpa, your favorite person in this world. He was your best friend, he basically raised you since your parents had little to no time to care for you due to their jobs, and you hoped he would stay in your life forever. But after he had died, your mind was clouded with grief for him. No matter how hard you tried to remember the happy moments with him, the pain from his passing overtook each time. And ultimately, your Patronus couldn't be cast anymore because of it.
You stood in front of the class in slight disbelief, and you tried to hide your face as much as possible in embarrassment. Thankfully, your teacher wasn't too strict about it. "Y/n, I think you need to work on that again until our next class." he simply said, thankfully without any ill intentions or the passive-aggressive tone you're used to from Professor Snape. That made you calm down slightly. You took a deep breath, your head sinking even more if that was even possible, and you retreated.
Taehyun looked at you in concern when you stood next to him. "It's because of your gran, isn't it?" he whispered. You tried to blink your tears away, both from frustration and grief, and you simply nodded. You were glad Taehyun was quick to catch up and he got the message that you didn't want to talk about it. Your mind was circling around all the memories of your grandpa at that moment, the good as well as the bad ones. Trying your best to focus on the class again, you swallowed the lump that had formed in your throat.
To your relief, class was dismissed shortly after and you hoped to leave the embarrassment from failing a Patronus, a spell three-years learn, behind in the classroom as you basically stormed out of it. Taehyun had to put in some effort to catch up to you in the crowd and once he reached you, he put a supportive hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry about it too much. As I always say, practice makes perfect." he sounded like an instructor, and you could only scoff.
But he was right. You knew you had to practice. You also knew that you had to talk to Beomgyu. And with your free period being too short to do both, you needed to make a decision. Should you use the time to look for Beomgyu, or should you find a quiet room to practice your Patronus again? Your next DAtDA period would be two days from now, so you didn't have too much time to master it again to the point where you were 100% sure you wouldn't embarrass yourself again.
You also didn't even have an idea where and how to find Beomgyu in such a big castle. Since he also had a free period, he could be anywhere. Maybe finding him would take too much time, and then you would have to cut your conversation short. Not the best option, considering how much ground you had to cover. So, you ultimately decided to use this free period to practice your Patronus. You figured that both of you had waited so long already, one more day wouldn't hurt at this point.
What you didn't know was that Beomgyu had other plans. He knew you shared this free period, as this was your go-to time for tutoring sessions, and he didn't want to waste the opportunity. It would be harder for him to catch you alone in the late afternoon or evening, since you mostly hung out with Giselle and Kai. He had waited way too long again as well. So, before he could start overthinking, he searched the hallways for you.

Will he find you before the period ends? 👀
