— ❝𝐎𝐇 𝐌𝐘 𝐆𝐎𝐒𝐇, 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍!❞

SUMMARY. "oh my gosh, you're literally my dream person!" here's a list of red flags for you, honey. (inspired by a tiktok trend! the one with the soundboard, iykyk.)

CHARACTERS. wanderer, alhaitham, albedo, childe + GN!reader.

GENRE. full-on crack, some fluff, not-so serious and light-hearted character slander.

CW. has heavy refs to albedo's story / 2.3 event and wanderer's story, brief mentions of blood in childe's part (not detailed/graphic), one brief mention of kissing in wanderer's part, light cussing and terrible humor. + read the alt text on the headers for extra captions, hehe!

THOUGHTS. this is my most unserious work yet and for that, i apologize if this gets too unhinged or inaccurate at some point LMAOOO. red flags are fine, red is my fav color anyway (it's actually light purple) <33 can you guess who's the favorite here 🧍‍♂️

✰ masterlist.

[ WANDERER ]

❝Dream person, huh? That's oddly fitting because the day you win me over is only gonna happen in your dreams too.❞

Has some abandonment and mother issues. ...Yeah. These issues may result in emotional walls as strong and firm as the Great Wall of China but when you break through them, he's never ever gonna let you go (unfortunately). I'd tell you to start running but this silly guy can float and zoom in the air, so best of luck.

You'll only hear crickets if you fall asleep on his chest. On the very rare occasions where he allows you to, that is. If you're into that romantic "falling asleep on your lover's chest while listening to their heartbeat" stuff, you're not getting it with Wanderer here. But if you listen hard enough, maybe you'll get to hear termites or something because he's canonically made out of white wood. (I'm joking, I love him too.)

Terrible with feelings. He'd rather jump off a cliff than start talking about his feelings. ...Okay, fine. Harboring humane emotions is an annoyingly blurry line that he has vowed to stop caring about after regaining his memories. It doesn't mean he doesn't cringe at himself every now and then, though — knowing that he has talked about his feelings to someone else (only you and Nahida) keeps him up at night, as embarrassing as it is to admit. ("Hey, do you remember that one time when you told me—" "I don't.")

May prioritize his pride over you sometimes. Let's take a rainy day as an example. It's pouring cats and dogs which means that the risk of catching a cold is high as ever... thus, as the rain begins to soak you, you turn to your companion (whose clothes are saved by the hat on his head) with puppy eyes. His reply comes in the same speed as a lightning strike; "No," he says. Beg and cry if you want, he is not letting you under his hat because it's "not a damn parasol". Fine, maybe he just doesn't care about your well-being and that's totally fine (sarcastic) — but the very next second, as he grabs your wrist and starts dashing to a nearby inn with you in tow — you can't help but let a small smile slip. Maybe he does care? Pride just gets in the way sometimes.

Might accidentally suffocate you when you two kiss because how the heck is he supposed to remember that humans need to breathe when your lips are just so soft for no reason? Ugh, humans and their ridiculous needs (derogatory but he still loves you simp).

Has a long list of crimes and felonies that we don't talk about. Ah, yes, the courtesy of being a previous Fatui Harbinger, indeed. Irminsul may have forgotten about this list, but the Wiki sure as heck hasn't.

[ ALHAITHAM ]

❝So, you consider me someone who fits your type? I see. Unfortunately, knowing whether or not I fit into another person's ideals doesn't have much value to me.❞

Books > people. Is that really a flaw? He doesn't think it is. Books are a source of knowledge and aren't they supplements that enrich the minds of those who read them? Not to mention, there is no need to cater to whatever social standards with inanimate objects unlike when you're around people. ...But apparently, Kaveh told him that this mindset "makes him look like an absolute loner with no social skills and no friends whatsoever" to which he'd usually bite back with an "at least, I have a stable housing." TLDR: books are Alhaitham's closest friends and that's a little sad (he doesn't care about other people's opinions, though).

Unreachable when his soundproof headphones are on. Shush, he is in his official (but not-so-official) 'Do Not Disturb' mode. Sorry in advance, he may or may not accidentally ignore you when his soundproof headphones are on. If you want to have a few words with him, either be patient and wait or make sure they're of absolute importance lest you risk being given the deadliest, emptiest stare ever known to mankind. If looks could kill, you would've keeled on the spot. Instant unintentional (??) homicide, so true of him.

Awkward with small talks. Alhaitham is good at talking about topics that really matter and he very much prefers it that way too. But that's the thing; when the discussion of that particular subject ends, that's it. He often dodges the silence in a 'cool' way, though; either by taking an early leave or bringing out a book if the situation there still needs him present. (In his defense, if no one wants to start and carry the conversation, then isn't it a bit hypocritical to count on him to do that too?)

Physical affection stupefies him (it'll take time). Alhaitham doesn't hate it, no, but something about it just doesn't align much with his sense of familiarity. He usually keeps his distance; even with new acquaintances, shaking hands has never been his thing and it's been a long time since Alhaitham has had someone he feels comfortable enough to receive physical affection from or to give some of it to (his grandmother was the last, maybe). By all means, this isn't meant to be a sob story — it's just brought up to explain that physical affection is a thing he's not familiar with, so it'll take some time to get used to. Good luck to those with physical touch as a preferred love language (me), this feeble scholar who may turn into a stiff log when you hug him is in your capable hands!

[ ALBEDO ]

❝Is that a compliment of some kind? I must say it's certainly not one I hear very often, thus I feel inclined to appreciate it all the more. Thank you.❞

Has a lab located in Dragonspine. Yes, this is a red flag because look me in the eyes and tell me you would realistically travel up that death trap of a mountain every single time just to spend time with him. He comes down from the mountain at least twice or thrice a month, so you'll still get to see his pretty face regardless, just not as frequently — so, it's either you exchange letters every week or you go trekking up Dragonspine to see him yourself. (There is a better place to die on than that wretched mountain, but I digress.)

His mother caused world destruction and he has a twin brother that is out for blood (Imposterbedo). ...Seriously, what the heck is going on in this family? We need to keep an eye on them like they're fascinating wild animals on National Geographic, for real. If you don't mind crazy in-laws that might commit felonies against you (also looking intently at Alice as I say this, by the way), then you're all good to go! Aha, just watch your back and be safe out there, comrade.

Babysitting Klee comes as a 2-in-1. If you're good with kids, great! If you're not, good luck! You know what they all say; a child's curiosity is only limited by the skies (and a guardian's supervision), so be prepared for when Klee starts tugging you around to go fish blasting or exploring with her. Being with Albedo means you get to see her a lot and she's such an adorable ball of sunshine! But the way she innocently hands you a little bomb like it's a slice of Fisherman's Toast and not a weapon is certainly something to remember, huh? (At this point, this is basically an extra to my previous point about questionable in-laws.)

Eats spiders (not often, but has eaten them and that's concerning). Granted this only applies to a specific type of large spiders that can be found at the roots of Petrified Trees in Domains (in the words of the Chief Alchemist himself), but there will definitely be a time where he goes: "Are you hungry? If I remember correctly, there are still some smoked spiders left from the other day. Fortunately, the temperature here in Dragonspine aids in the preservation method—" Spiders can be cute to some and a nightmare to some, but the fact that he has a whole recipe for it really makes you want to know the how and most importantly, the why. Does he sprinkle parsley on them or some stuff like that, ayo? (at least, if you ever get stuck in a domain one unlucky day, this recipe might help you survive? thanks??)

[ CHILDE ]

❝Oh? I've never been called a dream person before. ...Heh, that sounds new, I like the sound of that!❞

Thinks combat and battles are a better substitute for oxygen. Okay, that may be somewhat of an exaggeration — but it isn't an understatement to say that the thought of challenge rushes the blood into Tartaglia's veins. Not one for the secretive schemes most Harbingers do, this man would even go charging ahead if that guarantees he'll encounter a good fight. Like seriously, if he and a fellow Harbinger are heading to a place where there is a good opponent, you bet Childe is about to speed there first. You could say he is speeding towards uncertain death, essentially.

Might have come home with blood on his cheek once or twice. And what's worse is that this guy probably doesn't even realize it's there. Sorry, he was just too caught up in the moment to properly notice any leftover 'trophies' from his previous fights... Aha, don't worry about it! ("I'm home!" Tartaglia cheers loudly as he, quite literally, throws open the front door to your shared home — only to be greeted by that dumbfounded look on face. "Please tell me that's just juice on your cheek," you frown. He scratches the side of his neck awkwardly, "Uhh. Things didn't go particularly well when I was collecting debts.")

A warrior in the streets, also a malewife who can make you treats. Why does he have that double side for, huh? For other people to swoon over and fall for? No way someone can be a househusband and a good fighter simultaneously. What do you mean he can cook and clean then beat up anyone who threatened you the next? And you're saying he is genuine about it too? I say deception, deception, deception! Sue this fellow for fraud this instant. (This might actually be a green flag in disguise, but you didn't hear that from me.)

No good with saving money. He's stinky rich and most of it might be from the Fatui. You have to wonder whether each Mora he gives goes on the Fatui's tab or something like that... You don't find the idea of owing something to the Fatui fun, but it's so ironic how you're more worried about this than the Eleventh Harbinger is. Welp, at least, you don't have to worry incessantly about saving money now...? ("There's that thing you said you wanted to buy the other day, right? Here you go, honey!" "Tartaglia, why is this Mora pouch heavier than a toddler—")

Has a long list of crimes and felonies that we don't talk about #2. You could definitely argue that Childe might have the least mind-boggling list of crimes amongst the Harbingers all, though. (And does he slay for that? Who knows.)

Sick Child Reader MC with the dorm leaders

It's the season where someone is bound to be sick. Especially little kids, so I will be basing this off on how my siblings act when they get sick. So here we have a snotty nose child mc with the dormleaders!1!

PLATONIC ONLY

Riddle

Would definitely make sure you are taking your medicine and resting well. Tries to make you stay in bed resting but it back fires when not only a minute or so of him leaving the room you come out waddling looking for him.

Tries to think of ways to entertain you but it's mostly just boring and mundane things that would make a child lose interest easily. He's trying yall he really is.

When it comes to giving you medicine he loses his temper when you start to whine and throw your head back to avoid the spoonful of bitter medicine. This is the 3rd attempt at giving you medicine please stay still MC.

After finally giving you a stern look you take the medicine all pouty and complaining of the bitter taste. He can only let out a soft scoff and scolding you that if you weren't sick then maybe you wouldn't be taking "icky" bitter medicine

And now Riddle is dealing with a angry sick child. Way to go with the scolding Riddle.

When it comes to feeding you Riddle struggles with that the most since you say you aren't hungry. Even though all you had was some juice. Man's is worried and asking the great 7 to give him some help.

He goes to ask Trey for some help as well. He has never been sick often as a child and was always alone whenever he was. He feels completely lost when you have to rely on him to get better. He knows that medicine should be able to help you buy when you are still have the same snot and coughing fit he gets anxious.

With the help of Trey you start to recover quickly now. Riddle does feel a little jealous that you have got better with the help of Trey but quickly dismisses it when he sees you all happy and running around the Heartslabyul gardens.

Riddle: "so MC mind telling me how you got sick?:

Child MC: "umm yea ok so me, Ace and deuce-"

Riddle: "Ace, Deuce and I"

Child MC: "...but you weren't there..." *child side eye and pout*

Riddle: *sighs* "please continue your story."

♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡

Child MC: "can I have a cherry tart Riddle?"

Riddle: "I'm afraid not. You're sick and any sugar will make you go in a coughing fit"

Child MC: 😾 "you're mean"

Riddle: "You can have a tart when you get better"

Child MC: "mmmm....fine but you're still mean"

Riddle: "Yes MC I am a very big mean guy who finds pleasure in hurting your emotions" *sarcasm*

Child MC: "it's good that you know. Good night" *Gets comfortable on the bed and goes to sleep*

Riddle: "huh... and they call me mean." 😾

Leona

Was wondering where you were at since you weren't bothering him around the usual end of the school day hours. Only to find out from Ruggie you were sick and will be in his care. Well mostly Ruggie's cause man's doesn't know what to do with a sick child.

Is always keeping an eye on you and losing his nap time because he has to care for you now. He can't nap in peace because of the coughing fits and the small grunts of pain you let out in your sleep. So now he has to do the work he was given for his remediation classes that he was going to do over the weekend because he can't nap and is bored.

Whenever you start to cry because of some pain he massages the area and gently scratches it. Which causes you to stop crying and go to sleep faster. Which baffles him sometimes because just a second ago you were crying and now you're letting out small snores???

Is the one holding you still for whenever Ruggie has to give you medicine. He's seen you kick and slap the poor spoon of medicine away from you and was a victim of getting the thrown spoon hit him. He ain't tryna get hit twice and those little scratches you give him do not phase him at all.

Whenever your condition worsens he feels just a little worried. He's never seen you look so pale, fragile and bed ridden, he's always been used to full of life and energetic. So he always rubs your head whenever you sleep to ease his worries.

Does not fall for the pleading that you want sweets he will tell you bluntly that you are sick and cannot eat all the yummy and sweet candies he has in the drawer. (He only got them because he got bored of you always bugging him for some candy he never had 😾)

Instead of you telling him about your day it's now the other way around. Yes, the Leona Kingscholar is now going off about his day to the sick child because you kindly asked with the small snot coming out your nose and teary eyes.

Feels himself sigh in relief when he sees you all better and full of energy. He can't stand seeing you look so tired and just empty. Makes him feel weird (ehem worried) and all sad somehow. But hearing your little whispers and feeling you blow at his ears when he is "napping" makes him grateful to see you all better

Child MC: "Leonaaaaa I'm hungry"

Leona: "Ok, what do you have in mind?" *pulling out his phone and clicking on Ruggies contact to text him"

Child MC: "food."

Leona: "understandable I will tell Ruggie you want that"

▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Child MC: "my tummy hurts 😿"

Leona *who is laying on his bed and using his phone uses his free hand to gently scratch your stomach*: 's that better?

Child MC: "yes 😸"

Azul

I feel like Azul was sick a lot as a child but grew up to have a strong immune system so he knows how it's like to feel all icky. So he tries his best to make you feel all comfortable.

Hates to see you complain in your sleep. It snaps something inside his heart seeing you all down. Which is why he vows to make sure you recover very quickly.

Whenever he has to attend business meetings he has one of the twins keep an eye on you. He knows you have managed to wiggle your way into their hearts so it puts him at ease when hes at meetings.

If your condition worsens he feels himself panicking. He's looking over every book he has over human anatomy and trying to find any possible solution to make you recover quickly. He doesn't want to lose you 😿.

He prepares any meals you want and making sure you are getting the sufficient vitamins. Might sneak in a sweet if he sees you recovering quickly. He spoon feeds you because he doesn't want to strain your energy 🥺.

When he's working on contracts and other business plans, he tries to work on them in the room you're staying at. That way he can keep an eye on you and finish his work. It calms down his worries.

If you ever complain about being bored then Azul always has something to entertain you with. Let it he bringing you a few toys he has given you or even letting you watch a movie on his phone. He's got you entertained and sleeping soundly next to his side.

Once you fully recover he makes sure to give you a light scolding for worrying him. After that scolding he surprises you with a sweet he made and gives you a side hug mumbling about how you made him worry too much. The twins definitely take a picture of that moment and use it as blackmail sometimes 🙈.

Child MC: *waiting to be fed by Azul*

Azul: *softly blowing at the spoon filled with soup he cooked*

Child MC: *nose twitches and let's out a big sneeze*

Azul: *has his eyes closed and feeling the soup go down his face* "...bless you."

Child MC: "uh oh....I'm sorry and thank you" 😿

♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Child MC: *pulling at Azul's sleeve*

Azul: "yes? What is it?"

Child MC: *making grabby hands*

Azul: *bending down to pick up MC*

Child MC: *letting Azul pick them up before blowing their nose on Azuls scarf*

Azul: "....Great 7 please give me the strength to not drop this child who just blew their nose on my just washed scarf"

Kalim

We all know this man has been "sick" before because he just had to be a from a wealthy family. So he somehow feels responsible to you getting sick. Even if it was because you stayed outside in the rain, he feels somehow responsible.

Instead of just leaving you to Jamil, he decides to be the one giving you medicine, checking up on you, feeding you etc. Jamil looking from the sidelines like ??? He's not annoyed but at the same time he isn't all happy he just feels weird. So he helps Kalim in taking care of you.

Kalim who tries not to indulge in you wanting sweets. He was close to giving you a chocolate cookie if it weren't for Jamil stopping him and scolding him that anything with sugar was bad for you. Yes, Jamil can feel you glaring at him but just ignores you.

He is always in the room you are staying keeping an eye on you. Sure he can be doing his homework but he doesn't do it because he doesn't want to be all engrossed in doing it and completely forgetting about keeping an eye on you.

He tries to make you smile, he would do anything to hear your cute little giggles. But seeing you all teary eyed and with a frown makes him sad.

Manages to help you stay awake by accidentally ranting to you about how his day went, what he learned and how he bought a bunch of things for you at Sam's shop. He promises to give them to you once you are fully recovered.

Kalim who takes note on how Jamil is caring for you when you are sick and asking him for help whenever you start to complain. He doesn't want to be inexperienced when caring for you so he does his best to learn from Jamil on how to care for you when you are sick.

Once fully recovered, with all the energy in the world, Kalim pulls you into a big hug. He couldn't hug you much because you complained it was too hot but now he can give you all the hugs in the world. He knows that you will get sick again sometime in the future but atleast from this experienced it helped him a lot to know how to care for you. Jamil feels a little proud deep down but doesn't show it.

Child MC: *blowing their nose on Kalims shirt*

Kalim: *patting your head and telling you to let it all out*

Jamil: "...tissue exists for a reason yknow"

Kalim: "yea but they wanted to blow their nose right now and I didn't feel like pulling out the tissue packet from my pocket."

Jamil: "..."

♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Child MC: "I don't like this tea" *grumbles*

Kalim: "Oh I'm sure it can't be that bad" *takes a sip before coughing out the tea* "oh- Oh Great 7 that tea..."

Child: "I told you" 😾

Kalim: "I just had something stuck in my throat. I will add some sugar since you have been a good kid" *secretly thinking that the tea was the most plain tea he ever had*

Vil

Now.... can we really see Vil taking care of a sick child...? One that is coughing up a storm and wiping their snot off on the sleeves of their shirt???

He makes it his mission to get you better the fastest way possible. He doesn't want to deal with a snotty nose kid. It's not beautiful- Oh? Neige just posted himself taking care of one of his dwarve friends? Pfft he can do so much better than him, come on MC you will be in his care and he's gonna make sure to milk this situation dry.

Making sure you are taking your medicine, he doesn't care about your whining. You will take that medicine with the look he gives you kind of like that mom raised eye brow look they give you when you misbehave yknow.

Occasionally posts on his MagiCam story pictures that doesn't reveal you or him just like a medicine bottle and a small teddy bear next to it. The hoes going wild with all this, VIL??? Taking care of a child??? Aw so cute 🥺. Hashtags being made left and right about how caring and hot Vil is for that.

Sometimes has you walk around the room, hates to see you all bedridden and doesn't want you to have jello legs. Sometimes picks you up and puts a mask on you, sure he loves you but he ain't tryna get sick. He carries you around and makes sure you are comfortable.

There are times he leaves you in Rook's care because of how busy he is. He makes sure Rook knows to not spoil you and to have you entertained. A complain from you about Rook and he will have his head. Rook just assures him that he knows what he is doing lol.

Sometimes reads to you, watches television, or even rants to you. He has you lay your head on his lap and runs his fingers on your hair. So now you can't take any naps without him doing that. Good quality time spent between yall if you ask me.

Once you are fully recovered, he makes to post a update on his MagiCam. Could be between a scenery photo with you in the background smiling or a selfie of him and you (with your face blurred) with a random song playing in the background. The hoes are eating this up and creating threads on Magi-Twt about yall 😫.

Vil: *just getting done of his night skin care routine*

Child MC: *waddling to the bathroom door and standing there, softly panting* "Vil.... I frew (threw) up..."

Vil: *looks at the mirror for a long time. Praying to the Great 7 above to give him strength and gives you a side look and noticing that you did infact threw up* "what will I do with you little potato... alright come on...let's get you changed."

Child MC: "I'm really sorry"

Vil: "I know you are... this was just something you couldn't control. I'm not mad just... immune I suppose."

♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Vil: "Ok MC just hold the bowl and stuffed animal for a minute" *grabbing his phone and opening the MagiCam app*

Child: "but I'm not hungry...? I wanna take a nap."

Vil: "You can take a nap after I take a photo of you and cropping your face out. Now stay still the fans need to know I am very caring and gracious at taking care of you"

Child MC: "but you yelled at me a few hours ago-"

Vil: "shush or no candy"

Child MC: "😾"

Idia

Once again. Can we see this man...taking care of a sick child...... Especially since he doesn't see the sun and touch grass....? Let that sink in. Man's finna leave you at the care of someone else. As much as he wants to help, fuck is he gonna do? Reprogram you 😹😹??

On a serious note, he would most likely leave you in some one else's care but he does play the part at somewhat caring for you. Not much because he doesn't deal with that normie shit he's got that other stuff to do.

He has Ortho do all the work he should be doing but hey, it's the thought that counts. He has Ortho check up on you and send you some stuff he bought for you.

It ranges from a variety of things the "care packages" he sends can be from snacks to medicine to even a few toys. It really depends yknow on the progress you made.

On the days he finally decides to go outside, he immediately goes to you. Once reaching you he goes on his rambles which entertain you. It makes him happy seeing you with some emotion instead of being all hollow.

He brings a few games for you to play with. Or sometimes let's you watch him play, while commenting what's going on. It's a little bonding moment yall have.

Once he notices how tired you are he makes something for you. Idk I hc him that he knows how to do origami. You have a small collection of origami now thanks to him 🥺. The few times he didn't notice you fell asleep you always were holding one of the origami he made for you. It melts him

Once you are fully recovered you both get to finally pig out one junk food. Drink all the soda you want and even get to stay up past your bedtime 😼😼. But you always manage to go in a food coma so there's that.

Child MC: "What's more important your games or me?"

Idia: "games." *his tablet floats away*

Ortho: "Dang...big brother didn't even think about it."

♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Malleus

I feel like this man probably only got sick in his younger years. Man's is always taking care of himself so I doubt he'll get sick. Even if he did, he has his retainers to care for him

Now seeing you all bedridden, looking so sad and bored, it makes Malleus realize just how delicate humans can be. How they can go from full of life to looking so out of this world with those burning cheeks. Feeling cold and clattering your teeth, yet burning up and sweating. So he decides that he will be the one doing the caring for you.

He kind of struggles to be honest. On one hand he doesn't want to be all mean but you really are testing his patience. Luckily Lillia is there to help and Malleus seems to be learning something. Lillia going through deja-vu with you 🥺.

So Lillia is showing the ropes to Malles on how to properly care for you and how to not indulge on the teary eyed puppy eyes. Child MC can never win fr 😿.

He probably spends the free time reading to you. The books can vary, but with the soothing voice he has he makes you go to sleep real fast.

Malleus is really trying to be entertaining but all he ever does seems to make you go to sleep. Now he's doubting himself 😿 but luckily you are there to clarify what's going on.

Once he gets everything clarified with the help of Lillia he tries harder to be entertaining. He notices you using your technology so he really tries to understand what is going on but with a quick look you can tell the gears in his head are turning.

Once you finally recover Malleus gets to finally have his energetic child of man again. He missed seeing you running around the halls of Diasnomia and the giggles echoing. Seeing you all better makes him realize to cherish the little moments he has with you, but he always promises himself to take care of you no matter what. He wishes to still see you smiling instead of frowning.

Malleus: "You never seem to laugh when I am telling you a funny story, child of man. How so?"

Child MC: "Well I do have a sense of humor...it's just..."

Malleus: "Just...?"

Child MC: "just that... you don't say anything funny and you speak all fancy...so I don't understand you sometimes."

Malleus "😿"

▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎♡▪︎

Malleus: "What are you doing child of man?"

Child MC: "Oh hi Malleus, I'm just playing this game called Candy Quell... you should play it sometimes! We can be friends on the app and send eachother gifts!"

Malleus: "What an interesting game. I would be honored to be able to play this game and be friends with you on it"

Child MC: "Yea but you can play for me. I'm kinda sleepy"

Malleus: "alright" *begins to play the game for a few hours, after being amazed at all the mechanics of this wonderful game that he even asked his retainers to play it as well. Man's has never been so happy to be able to play such a silly game called Candy Quell*

A/N: OMG thank you guys so much for the likes on my Leona fic 😭. I truly thought it wouldn't get as many likes but it's so close to 300 likes omfgg I can't thank you guys enough!!! I made this fic since this weather is so cold acting like I got someone to cuddle up with 😒. I even got sick because of it. But here is my take on how the dormleaders would act with a sick child they are fond of. If you couldn't tell I do have a few favorites 🙈. These guys just give off big brother energy and I don't see enough Platonic fics to feed me.

Charles Leclerc x Male reader

"Together forever"

Originally was going to be smut but the more I wrote the more fitting it became as a fluff. Wanna get back to writing smut tho. Kinda enjoyed it.

Wanted to give it a sad ending with the reader being a figment of his imagination that he can't let go of ever since the reader died like 3 years ago. But eh

I was in the garage at the moment, the race ended around 5 minutes ago. I am sat in one corner drinking my water considering I couldn't drink during the race in the scorching heat of the sun, combined with the heat produced in the car. As I sat in the corner I see someone make their way to me in my peripheral, looking up I see my boyfriend, y/n.

"Hey bubs, you okay?" He says with a sympathetic smile as he sat down next to me our shoulders touching.

"No." I say with a sigh as I place my head on his shoulder, feeling his arm wrap around my waist.

"Why?" He asks holding me tighter.

"I was dehydrated during the race, couldn't drink, straw too short, sun was hot, inside the car was hot. Thought I was gonna have a heat stroke or something." I say staring blankly ahead the straw to my water bottle still in my mouth taking small sips from time to time.

"Awww, are okay now? You should rest, maybe lay down in your room? We could cuddle?" He says his arm moving from my waist to my shoulder, his hand running up and down my arm.

"Still have interviews in a bit, they're just letting me catch my breathe and drink." I say still with the blank stare on my face.

"Maybe later then?" He says kissing my hair.

"Later." I standing up as I hear my name being called. "I guess I have to do media now, ciao." I say now fully standing up with y/n beside me, I lean down a bit giving him a kiss.

"Ciao, take care." I hear him say as I make my way outside the garage.

Being done with the media stuff now, I was beyond exhausted, I just wanted to get to the hotel and cuddle with y/n. As I make my way to my car I notice a figure leaning against the side of it. Walking closer with caution I was about to shout at the person when he looked up and I saw that it's just y/n.

"You stayed the whole time?? It's like 10pm already, why aren't you at the hotel? Where did you even stay? I didn't see you in my room earlier." I bombard him with questions now hugging him tightly and putting most of my weight on him.

"Guess you're really tired huh?" He says holding me tight and kissing my hair.

"Yes, very tired." I mumbled into his shoulder.

"Want me to drive or?" He says ruffling my hair.

"I'll drive, can't let my passenger prince do the hard work eh?" I say with a cheeky smile while getting into the driver's seat after I open the door for him for the passenger's seat.

"Want to listen to some music?" He asks as he grabs his phone from his pocket and looking at me while I back up from the parking area.

"Sure." I say not driving towards the hotel we're staying. While driving I hear him connect to the speaker.

"Is that my music? You actually listened to the ones I released on spotify?" I say glancing at him for a bit.

"Obviously, I won't record your songs for you, you're old enough for that." He says with a huff and rolling his eyes with a playful smile on his lips.

As we arrive at the hotel entrance, fans were still at the doors, although fewer than before, considering how late it was. I decided that maybe a couple of pictures and signing some stuff would be fine. Going up to our room I feel y/n grab my arm in the elevator and feel him lean onto me.

"You okay, babe?"

"Yea, just sleepy."

After hearing the elevator ding we walked out and onto our room, I unlocked the door and we walked in. As y/n was preparing for bed I decided to take a quick shower.

"Charles, have you eaten yet?" I hear him say as I walk out of the bathroom towel hanging low on my hips.

"Have you?"

"Stop answering my question with another question." He says while laying on the bed, phone in hand.

"No not really, what did you have in mind?"

"Take out?"

"Sure."

He calls the take out place as I get dressed, not really. I just wore boxers and sweatpants.

"Did you order yet?" I ask as I lay down on the bed next to him, spooning him and holding him tight against my bare chest.

"Yea, they said it'll be 20 minutes." He says burrying his face into the crook of my neck and yawning.

We lay there comfortably, for about 15 mind until I heard the phone ring, I answered it, it was the hotel clerk informing me of the delivery. I carefully get out of bed so as to not wake up y/n who is peacefully sleeping by now. I put on a jumper, grab the money and head down to the lobby.

Returning to the room with the food, I noticed y/n was not in bed. Then I hear the toilet flush then out came y/n from the bathroom. After eating the food we threw away the trash and brushed our teeth, I lay in bed again, opening my arms waiting for him to lay down as well.

"Goodnight." He says now in my arms and head on my chest.

"Goodnight, amour" I say, hearing little snores coming from him. I soon follow him to sleep, with my mind plagued with thoughts of him, and our future, just y/n and charles. Together forever.

Might be too short, for my taste, but creative juice no more.

Will try to post more often to get the flow going, peace ✌️

M4A1, AN-94 and Springfield with a S/O who’s cooking looks absolute dogshit, but tastes like a Michelin chef prepared it?

(GFL) Springfield, M4A1, and AN-94's S/O cooking for them

Looks like it's finally time for ANOTHER T-DOLL FUN FACT!

TDFF 3: Springfield runs a Cafe on-base, and is the best baker/coffee maker of all the T-Dolls under Griffin and Kruger. She also has an adorable apron/alternate hairstyle while working in the Cafe. On that note:

Springfield's typical smile is replaced with an expression of surprise, watching S/O emerge from the kitchen with a sludge on their plate.

She brushes her hair back and adjusts her apron as she sits down, examining the food.

(Springfield) "Oh my..."

As far as her eyes could scan, there was nothing toxic despite the appearance. Thankfully she was not human so it could not possibly kill her. Unfortunately, she still had a sense of taste built into her, to which she decided nothing ventured, nothing gained.

S/O watched with a hint of anticipation. They knew Springfield was quite serious about the food served, and would have nothing less than what her standards for the menu was.

After putting the multi-colored sludge on her spoon and tasting it, her eyes widened.

(Springfield) "...Wow, you did great, S/O!"

(S/O) "R-Really?!"

Her smile returns with gusto, putting both her hands together.

(Springfield) "Yes, and I think we can actually use the appearance to our advantage, it can be a special item! Though that being said, we do have to work on your presentation. It can potentially lead someone away."

(S/O) "Potentially?"

(Springfield) "Hm...Well, I suppose I am being a bit too generous. I think it would make some of the other girls flee in terror..."

But she nodded with a determined fire in her eyes.

(Springfield) "But I know you can do it! My darling will have the best of both worlds in my cafe!"

(M4A1) "...Um, what is this?"

(S/O) "Soup!"

(M4A1) "According to my database, soup should not be green."

(S/O) "Oh, I just wanted it to resemble you!"

M4 stared at the green viscous liquid. It could be mistaken as acid.

With a spoonful in her hand, she reluctantly puts it through her lips and tastes the "soup".

Which to her surprise, tasted fine. In fact, it was more than fine, it was great!

M4 took another spoonful again to make sure she wasn't malfunctioning, and still it was the same.

(M4A1) "This is really good, S/O!"

(S/O) "Oh thank god, I thought you'd hate it..."

(M4A1) "I certainly do not like its look..."

(S/O) "Huh?"

(M4A1) "N-Nothing. Thank you very much for the meal."

Thankfully, S/O did not notice that M4 was staring at them the entire time she was eating, trying to not see the horrific-looking soup and keep it out of mind and simply enjoy the love it was made from.

For better or worse, 94 was very direct, no matter what the subject was.

And upon seeing S/O's food:

(AN-94) "...I do not believe this is thoroughly cooked."

(S/O) "Sandwiches aren't meant to be cooked. Well, not this one anyway."

(AN-94) "This does not fit the traditional appearances of sandwiches according to my data."

Her voice is as cold as her remarks on S/O's food, but she doesn't hesitate to taste it.

At least not before she prepared to send out an emergency distress signal should her systems fail upon consuming the food.

Instead, it was unneeded as the sandwich tasted great!...According to her sensors anyway.

(S/O) "Um...Is it good?"

94 simply nodded as she continued to eat it.

(S/O) "You don't look happy about eating it though."

(AN-94) "...Ah, my apologies. I did not think about displaying that properly, humans typically do that, do they not?"

Her soft smile puts S/O at ease as she tries her best to reassure them her feelings are genuine.

(AN-94) "Despite the concerning appearance of your cooking, it is quite delicious, thank you."

(S/O) "Thanks...I think?"

Hey again 😼 maybe another idea for you? Maybe Gorillaz members w a trans ftm s/o who’s insecure about being trans; like they don’t like that they still have feminine bits ig lol

Hope you’re having a slaytastic day

-🍜

FTM S/O dealing with dysphoria from their appearance

WRITERS NOTES: Hey great to hear from ya again 🍜Anon. And Y E S i love this idea, i think your talking about body baised gender dysphoria, which i can relate to hugely- that shit sucks ass. I think I got outa had with Murdoc's hc, and I had more ideas for some then others. And with that I hope you slaytastic day yourself. And honestly no to sure how I would go about writing this, so if this isn't exactly what you wanted sorry. And sorry if they aren't as long as usual, but like I said I lacked Ideas for this sadly

[ANOTHER NOTE: eh... sorry this took awhile I won't be posting at my previous pase due to the fact a lot of life stuff has been happening recently, and I just don't have as much time as I would like, though I hopefully won't be this slow at writing but just working at a more comfortable pase.]

Edited: fuck no

All art in this post is mine

TW:Curssing, gender dysphoria, transphobia, Implied drug uses, Murdoc being drunk, T, Murdocs dad, Murdocs childhood, ahhh- theres probably more but I can't think of it- so tell me if ya think of anything

Characters:

/Gorillaz/

What?

What do you mean you don't like you body?

What is there to not like?

Huh- specific parts you say?

He still doesn't understand- I mean he understands that the fact that you are trans which means your body is not exactly your favorite part of yourself due to the lack of matching you identified gender but he does not understand the depth of upset-ness his boyfriend feels- but like I said he tries his best

So S/O would have to try and explain it 2D

And in the end 2D does understand more but he still doesn't fully grasp everything so 2D turns to google for answers

When 2D woke up at night again from his migraines and couldn't go back to sleep he decides this is the best time to do his research... at 2:00 AM, so 2D goes on insomnia fulled google spree

And my dear fucking lord satan does he go down a rabbit hole

2D can hardly process half the shit he reads

And by the end of it his head is spinning and he's so fucking exhausted

But at least he grasped some stuff and understands even more now, and he knows what he should do!

But first he needs a little nap he earned it

When he wakes up the the first thing he can remember it binders- so his scowers the internet and orders everyone he sees- good and bad quality, I mean its not like 2D's reading the reviews he's just ordering ever single one he stumbles upon

Then he goes to the store and buys even more

It's moments like this he's glad he remembers he's got a shit ton of money

And one day when S/O comes over to vist 2D- 2D tells his boyfriend to stand there for a second

"Hun- do'ya mind stand'en dere fer sec"

He giggles to himself as he runs in the other room, leaving S/O concerned and confused

Next thing you know- your on the floor after what feels like who knows how many binders have been flug/dumped on you

It takes a silent minute for 2D to process that you may be stuck

In which 2D freaks and digs S/O and explains to him that he was trying to my S/O feel better- which touched S/O that 2D cared this much about him

And then S/O had to explain that he didn't need this many binders

So the two of you spent the next two hours picking out what binders work best

S/O was modeling each one- and figured out which one fit best(because 2D didn't really check sizes either), and were as comfortable as possible

And the whole time 2D was praiseing and tell S/O he looked amazing

After S/O picked thw ones he liked, both decided to donate the remaining binders

Its was really sweet of of him

But either way 2D will in any way possible try and make S/O feel better about himself

2D is just as physically affectionate with his S/O in this as as he would be in any other

Though he can get a bit anxious about touching S/O since his dysphoria was body baised- and was scared of triggering a bad reaction

2D has a big thing for words of affirmation, but due to S/O's body baised gender dysphoria- he tends to praise his boyfriends body spisificly, and it's very obvious what he's trying to do when he says it

"Ya' know I' didn't tink I could be attracted to someones frame... iz... broad.... and manly..."

"Your face is soooo handsome-- oh!.... an' guy-ish..."

It's not like he's lieing he's just kinda shit at subtly tell his boyfriend about it

Either way- while he can be a bit ignorant at first he tried his damn best

"Why trans people need'a binder? Are they going to school?"

*S/O facepalming*

Murdoc

Ok before we can start we need talk about transgender stuff in general and Murdoc did that make sense?

In the 2D x Male S/O x Murdoc, 2D x Male S/O, and Murdoc x Male S/O I had briefly mentioned Murdocs dad being homophobic- well that doesn't even scratch the surface of Sebastian's asshole-lery

Sebastian was a dick queer/LGBTQIA+ people, not like "FUCK THE GAYS- THEIR DELUSIONAL" more like "I talk a bit of shit about queer people behind peoples back, don't be like them son" -ish way

In which he instilled those trashy views on Murdoc as a kid, as when I said 'talk shit behind people I meant he "talked" about it to Hannibal and Murdoc, and randos he hung out with at the bar(I might do a separate thing in the future on how I think murdocs childhood went down, and what kind of person Sebastion was, cuz theres A LOT I could say)

And due to his fathers ways being imprinted in his head as a kid, Kid/Teen Mudz was not exactly found of queer/LGBTQIA+ people in general either

Well it's not like society liked them at that time either: Murdocs year of birth 1966, The year Britain legalized gay marriage 2014

So at that time no one was exactly fond of them

But either way Kid/Teen Murdoc fond of them either

And because of his wasn't fond of them- Murdoc Bullied/teased any one of the queer/LGBTQIA+ community... like a lot... yeah lets just say his sense of humor wasn't exactly nice..

These actions and old views still haunt him to this day

Russel's the only one who knows the full extent of his behavior as a kid because while drunk Murdoc confessed this to him, and 2D over heard a bit- but was swiftly bunbarded by Murdoc once he noticed 2D, Mudz begged them to not tell Noodle

And most of this shit is internalized so if you can't rip open Mudz chest with your love and affection- then good luck getting a straight answer from him

This guilt didn't bother him as much in earlier phases(before plastuc beach).... though thats not saying much

But when the later phases arrived he started drinking tiny bit less, which made memories resurface.... and my god he felt guilty

Ok Fuck- on to the actual hc now...

Wether its phase 1 or phase 7, Murdocs anxious as hell around his S/O, because of the fact they are trans- and this is true before they even started dating- if learned that info before dating

I mean it's nothing to do with his S/O and the fact he's trans- in the sence of his S/O's physically body he does not care you bits you have man- he can work with either...

But... he can't stop thinking about the way he treat trans people in the past- he feels soooo guilty(which he should, he acted like a dickwad)

And what worries Murdoc the most is... he's scared his new boyfriend that accepted him for his flaws and failures, and never looked at him like was worthless.... was gonna leave him because of how he acted when he was ignorant and young

One day when he's drinking alone in the Winnebago he's hit with a overwhelmed wave of guilt, that almost felt suffocating

*BUZZ*

*Phone call from ❤️Mudzy❤️*

You pick up the phone

All you hear is Murdocs indisputable sobs of apologies- while simultaneously saying something about his dad, Trans, he was young and dumb- wait did he say something about you breaking up with him?!? What the hell is he on about?

It was obvious to you he was absolutely fucked up... like even worse the usual?

You told him to sit tight and you'll be there as fast as he can

You arive and he is absolutely fucking all over the place

The Winnebago is more trashed then then usual and he's in the center of it alllll messed up

H looks like he wants to hug you but he pulls back like if he did you would hate him

To sum it up- you two spent the next 3 hours talking about his past and how you still love him, and he could not control how he was raised

Holy fuck uhhh nevermind... NOW on to the ACTUAL hc :b

He has a hard time understanding your insecurities about you body but he tries- he just thinks you too hot

So you have to like sit him down and try and make him understand- cuz otherwise he clueless- which would make worry cuz he doesn't like not knowing whats going on

So google this shit he will

Google leeds him to some interesting things... like he learns about T(testosterone hormones for transitioning)

And after siting on the idea for a bit, when he got drunk Murdy kept trying to order T, but he couldn't cuz you need a note from a doctor/therapist/psychologist to get that shit

And you found him throwing a tantrum- screaming at his computer. Fun fact this happens pretty often, because he's really bad with computers...well except for when it come to the sketchy part of the internet, Mudz knows a lot about that stuff. I swear he's on a FBI watch list

When S/O asks whats wrong murdoc spouts on about how he FUCKING can't get T for his wonderful boyfriend- *sniff* to make him feel better- *sob* make him feel better

Yes Murdoc starts to have another drunken break down

And again you have to sit him down and explain the complex process of getting stuff like that

"Well thats stupid... I've always been able to get prescription drugs without a a prescription- I used to know a guy actually, you could get anything for the right price-..." Murdoc mumbled to himself

"What-"

"Nothing..."

But in then he understands a little more, and this time please explain what he can do to make you feel better about your dysphoria, cuz he will continue to do weird shit

Murdoc's no Shakespeare, he isn't great with words or with expressing shutters feeling, so he isn't the best at comforting but he tries his best

But something nice is, when Murdoc gets really high or reallyyyyyyy drunk he tends to be more touchy and more truthful, so he'll just randomly start praising S/O, even if its a the worst time- Like:

"...S/O"

"Yeah?"

"...dove- your the most beautiful, handsome, and stunning thing ever... no one can say otherwise- your perfect from head to toe...."

"Thats nice and all but hun this really ain't the time..."

*Murdoc looks at S/O very confused then looks at the toilet he just was hurling his guts up into*

But don't worry he doesn't always dish out his best compliments in the loo

At the end of the day Murdoc really love his boyfriend no matter what they look like.

"....I Love you..."

"Huh?"

"NOTHING!"

Noodle

Probably understands the most out of the 4

Noodle is the youngest meaning- she's 'more with the times' I fucking cringed so hard writing that for some reason-

She will try to distract you in any way to get her boyfriend to feel better, and stop thinking about it

Noodle doesn't exactly a big fan of talking that much if she doesn't find the conversation meaningful, but if needed she will spend as long as her S/O needs siting there tell him how much she loves him- and his body doesn't make him any less of a man

"Don't let anyone else tell you- who you are, ok?"

"I don't know about what you think, but what I do know is that your my lovely boyfriend!"

Noodle LOVES clothes shopping- scratch that just shopping in general

So she loves takeing her S/O to shops that can get that clothing that can make him feel more comfortable in his body

She does a bit of googleing but not like a deep dive as the guys

Noodle will round house kick anyone who dares to be transphobic to S/O

Along with Noodle screaming every curse word she knows at them in every language she know

No one fucks with Noodle's boyfriend- or I swear to satan when Noodles done with that knob- they won't even be able to look you in the eyes in fear of evoking Noodles rage once more

If Noods notices her boyfriend going through a bout of of depression due to his body based gender dysphoria(fucking hell- I'm tired of typing this out if I will now refur to that as BBGD) and she will decide to plan a date for her and S/O

She does this often- but the kind of date varies based on S/O's preference

When Nood complements S/O and his body she's very blunt, abd it's very obvious what she's doing- and knows that just doesn't give a shit

"Did I ever tell you how handsome you are?"

I can't think of any more quotes sorry

She makes sure everyone gets S/O pro-nouns right, incase that makes S/O more inscure she back handed murdoc once become he misgender S/O once- on accident and 2D told you she lecturerd him later when you left, whether it was an accident or not he never did it again and Mudz shutters at the memory-

If S/O has a melt down/panic attack due to BBGD if S/O is ok with it, Noodle will hold him and juat let him get it all out, till he's ready to talk, and if S/O just wants to sit there then thats fine to

She once teasingly called you baby boy, take that for what you will

"THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO MY BOYFRIEND!!!"

"Noodle- please calm down-!"

Russel

Ok... he's probably the second best at understanding your sercumstance

But that does not make it any less awkward

Russel isn't exactly a conventionalist but he tries to priase/give words of affection/affirmation to his S/O to make him feel better

I wanna say S/O is the first transgender person Rus has dated- but thats not saying much as Russel was never that big in the dating world, so his knowledge on dating in general is not that vast

So like the other guy's he does research-

And was very thorough, and comes out pretty successful in his endeavor

And before Rus decides to make and drastic decisions like a shopping spree or or almost buying T *cough* 2D *cough* Murdoc

He communicates with his S/O about what they want

And the root of his insecurities, as Rus wan't S/O to know that your body does not define you and just a bunch of really sappy love crap

"Honey, your body is not what makes you- you, it's whats on the inside, you get what I mean?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's natural to feel this way, in this kind of situation."

"I would love no matter how you looked"

And then after talking about how S/O feels on this situation

Rus then will get really serious and ask S/O if he wan't to get medical procedures done and if he did Rus would him pay for the surgerys and crap

Or he may suggest seeking professional help with you BBGD

But if S/O says no- Rus is completely fine with that he just wants his S/O to know that he loves him

If S/O is going through a especially bad bout of dysphoria, Russel will make him their favorite comfort food

Like Rus isn't great with words and depending on where you are in the relationship physically affection can be a bit stiff with him- But one thing is he's a Great Fucking Cook

Ask for any comfort food it's yours

He's a big thing for acts of service- like Noodle oftenvdoes things to distract S/O from his unpleasant feelings

Russel's a big boi with major RBF so when he's around there is less likely someones gonna say/talk transphoic shit to/about S/O

And if they do... well I hope they like confrontation, becuase Rus will not yell at them but, his words will make just about anyone shit their pants

Like 2D, Rus complements S/O that could makes S/O feel better about his BBGD- but un-like 2D he's really good at being subtle about it.

"I made you your favorite, *insert fav food*."

Fuck it y'all get an Owl House fic cause why not its the only thing I can find-

(Just to be clear this was something I had written with a specific person in mind, also (f/n) means fake name because why not)

(The specific person MIGHT have been me)

I Don' Have A Title For This One!

Character: Hunter x reader

Fic type: Drabble?

Fandom: The Owl House

---

I had just come from school and was still in my uniform, the red and yellow sleeves, and blue and cyan legs showing my enrollment in both the Bard track, Potions track, Illusions track, and Healing track.

I had walked into the palace, uniform in hand, and went to find a place to change, when I ran straight into the Golden Guard.

"What's a hexside student doing in the palace?" He had his hands on his hips, and I raised an eyebrow at him, mirroring his stance.

"Because I work here, duh. Thought you were smarter than that, Goldie." I smiled at him as he suddenly straightened up, head tilting down for a moment, before back up.

"(F/N)? Huh… I would say you're shorter than I thought you were, but that hasn't changed." I stick my tongue out at him, winking as I walk past.

"Don't think I didn't see you check me out, Goldie!" He sputters, trying to form a response, and I just laugh, blowing him a kiss when I turn the corner.

"I was NOT checking you out!"

—

"I didn't know you studied bard magic." Goldie remarked as he stood beside me, both in uniform. I shook my head, smiling slightly.

"And I didn't know you cared so much, Goldie." He sputters again, and if I could see his eyes I could almost guarantee that he'd be glaring at me.

"Yo, (F/N)! Shift change!" Steve yells from down the hall at you, coming to change positions with me.

"And that's my cue. Don't dream about how hot I am, Goldie!" I snicker, ducking to avoid his staff and then sprinting down the hall, waving goodbye to him and our friend Steve.

—

Luz had told me she met Goldie, and her and his adventure to save the palismen/spite Kikimori. I'd DEFINITELY be hearing about this tonight from him.

"He's a bad…. But sad boy." Luz remarked sadly, she seemed upset that she couldn't make friends with him.

"Yeah, no, that fits the description, you did definitely meet Goldie. It took me months to be friends with him, and I mostly just annoy him, so don't worry about it too much, Luz."

—

"Darius!" Caleb teleported in front of the Head Witch, and Gus' illusion dropped once he was distracted. Caleb was wearing a familiar uniform… and now I realized why his voice was so familiar.

He was Goldie. This scrawny kid with messy blond hair, red violet eyes, a cute hooked nose, and an adorable gap tooth, this was my Goldie. May Titan have mercy on my soul.

"Wait!" As Darius cornered us on the beach, Caleb jumped in front of us, arms spread wide as if to protect us.

"Out of my way, little prince." Darius glares, but Caleb stands still, determined.

"No! I was mistaken. These five are insolent agitators who aren't fit for the Emperor's Coven. And we don't need another egotistical bard" He glances back at me, and there's a sadness in his eyes. "And I'm unfit to wear the sigil of the Golden Guard."

Caleb takes off his cloak and drops it to the ground. He then turns towards Willow, not making eye contact.

"You can go." His voice seems to betray him, cracking slightly.

Willow raises her staff, barely containing her tears. I've never seen her this angry and upset before.

"Please, Captain." Caleb pleads, and Darius looks unimpressed from behind him. Willow lowers her staff, a small smile on her face.

"Let's move, team. We need to find a replacement." She turns away, starting to leave. "After all, it'll be 52 weeks before Caleb's next day off."

Caleb seems to brighten immediately, and I can't help but linger behind, wanting to be around him more, but Darius hasn't recognized me yet, and I don't want to be around when he does.

"Bye, Caleb. You were really cool today." I run off after my friends, hoping the dark hid how pink my face was.

—

"So uh…. You're blond?" I cleared my throat, and he nodded awkwardly from beside me, eyes avoiding my own, as we were both unmasked.

"Yep… How's the team doing?" He was watching me out of the corner of his eyes, I could see it, and I tried not to freak out.

"Uh… good? Yeah, they're good. Viney and Skara are, at least." I gulp slightly, wanting this awkwardness between us both to end.

"Ah, yeah… I guess you do have class with them." He raises an arm to scratch the back of his neck, the tips of his ears going pink.

—

"Also… my name is Hunter." He rolled his eyes as he leans against the wall to my right, avoiding my gaze with pink tipped ears.

"I prefer Goldie!" I beam at him, and his face goes more pink, smiling slightly, but I know there's insecurity behind it.

"But… have a good evening… Hunter." His name felt odd in my mouth, and I missed how the rest of his face went red as I quickly walked away.

"That human called you (Y/N)." Hunter commented as we chased after Luz, crashing through the night market.

"Yeah, and? Its my- oh shit wait a minute-" I cursed, not remembering the whole fake name thing, and he looked over at me for a moment.

"(F/N) is a fake name?" He doesn't seem surprised, more like… offended. After all, he told me HIS name, and I'd been lying this whole time?

".... If I say yes will I get fired?" I tried to sound apologetic, and he just shook his head, smiling slightly.

"If you don't talk about the Caleb fiasco, I'll keep this secret… (Y/N)." I tried to ignore the butterflies in my stomach when he said my name, and it worked when we crashed into the centre of a spell circle, Luz tackling the both of us.

—

"You do not get to hurt him." I growled at the inner Belos, holding my own staff in front of me and Hunter.

"Hm. Such a shame you don't get to make that decision." The ground fell away beneath us, me falling faster than Hunter, who tried to grab me, but only got my staff.

"Hunter, let go! Luz can still save you!" I growl, trying to get him to safety, but he shook his head, still trying to grab for Eda's jacket.

"No!" I shook my head, turning my palisman back into a raven, and we both fell into another memory.

—

"Thank you… (Y/N)." His voice is quiet as he sits next to me, arms wrapped around my waist and head on my shoulder.

"Of course… Hunter." I replied just as quietly, and we just sat like that, calming him down until eventually he fell asleep on me.

—

"Hunter!" I shouted, sprinting down the steps of the school. His red violet eyes meet mine, and the fear on his face calms quickly as he runs towards me as well.

"(Y/N)!" I'm crying now, only a little, and I almost tackle him in a hug, but he spins me around before putting me down, holding me at arms length for a moment.

"Are you alright? Where were you? What happened?" His eyes almost seemed to frantically scan me for injuries, but I shake my head.

"I'm fine, I was just locked in a closet for a bit by a scout, I think it was Steve actually, but I just stayed out of the action for a bit until I saw Gus' illusion drop! What about you, are you okay?" My tears had slowed down but I was still stressed and worried about my friend, and I lifted my hand to gently caress a scratch on his face.

He nods as the tips of his ears go pink, and we both stand there for a moment, before I surge forward to kiss him briefly, pulling back with an almost glowing red face.

Hunter is just as red as I am, but he pulls me into a tight hug, both of our hearts beating out of our chests.

"Sorry…" I whisper, but he holds me tighter, seemingly struggling to breathe.

"Marry me?" He coughs out, and I look up at him, we're both bright red.

"Maybe we go on a date first." He nods, looking away from me, and I stand on my tip toes to kiss the scar on his cheek.

"Someday though, I will. You better still want to by then." I beam at him, and he's the one that kisses me this time, an arm wrapped around my waist and a hand on my cheek.

—

"I KNEW YOU TWO LIKED EACHOTHER!" Luz yells, chasing me around the yard back at the Owl House.

"Luz, if you say another word, I will join Ed and Em in annoying you and Amity. And I will tell them about the whole 'Cotton Candy Goddess' nickname, and you two will never hear the end of it."

I threaten, running away from who was essentially my younger sister.

"You're evil." She stops in her tracks, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Oh yeah, I'm evil, hun." I wink at her, walking inside only to get the SAME conversation from Eda.

Alone Without You

Part 1, Part 2

Warning // Strong language and sexual themes ahead (There may be none but just making sure since the rest of the story will have these themes). Read at your own discretion.

Pairing: Kirishima x f!reader, School!AU, College!AU

Count: 1,500 words (or so)

Summary: He was a loving guy in high school, non-changing, cheerful. The years passed and he shifted to a guy who partied, slept with any girl he found attractive, and drank like a maniac. You stayed the same, wishing for your friend to come back.

Funny enough, you weren't much of a shy girl and you also weren't the most noticeable, your hair barely standing out among the other girls in the class. You thought of yourself as pretty average but your friend, who you called shark boy, had his own opinion, calling you his beautiful friend who just so happens to be a badass at playing music. It stung, for sure, but you were friends with him. Maybe he didn't think of you in that way, but your heart didn't change how you felt about him.

Kirishima had always been a good guy who deserved the best, and no one could change your mind. It might be a little far fetched to say that, but he had been there for you many times even if it wasn't all the time. You understood someone can't be there all the time because no one was perfect in this world. We aren't heroes who can be there in three seconds when asked. He didn't do wrong in your eyes and you knew that was a dangerous way of thinking.

"Wow, she is amazing," He had told you. He was looking at a girl who he had known from a previous class, and who he only talked to a few times due to a paper deadline he so happen to have forgotten about. She was kind enough to help him at last minute and that way he was able to get a C for the class.

"I heard about the millionth time, Kiri," You exclaimed with a slight eye shift to the side. You two were in a physical education class together while another P.E. class was doing their runs.

"I really can't help it! Just look at her!" You both stared towards the girl who was running alone, fit and very pretty, you had thought. She didn't seem to stand out a lot either but she was what you called a "hidden beauty" and Kirishima noticed it. She came across very classy, looking like the best friend of any guy who actually liked her.

You were sure you heard your red head friend say something under his breath, but to not get yourself worked up and tease him, you ignored it. You didn’t even acknowledge his cursing when she turned towards Kirishima’s direction, smiling and waving to him as he did the same, sighing like the love struck boy he was.

“I want to ask her out,” He exclaimed. “Maybe if I ask her at the end of the day, and I get her like a small gift, then she might say yes.” Since you were looking the other way, you rolled your eyes. You weren’t too involved with this conversation and you chose to ignore him as he continued on about her. In reality, it wasn’t his fault but you couldn’t stop yourself to feel this way when he just throws it out there for you to judge. It’s like he wanted you to feel some type of way. You weren’t happy about this topic but you also couldn’t be petty about it. What else can you say to it.

“Y/n? You aren’t paying attention again, huh?” You gazed over just in time for him to show his puppy eyes to you, but it quickly disappeared when he began to chuckle at you, feeling as if he was mocking you for being jealous. Who could have known that this guy, who you were friends with, was the guy who you ended up liking. He was… so handsome and so charismatic, it was just crazy to think he was your friend.

“Sorry, you blabbered on about her that I couldn’t help but doze off,” You exclaimed to him only to have his arm around your shoulder, his smile lingering as he looked at you.

“That hurts my feelings, Y/n. Considering that I always help you with guy advice, and I still don’t know who this mystery guy is.”

“You won’t find out. I just want to have the advice of a guy so if I so happen to go with it, I can use it to my advantage. Right now, I have no chance with the guy so I rather keep it to myself.” There was silence on his end, making it awkward for him to even say anything nice to you, but good thing he didn't have to because the girl he had been crushing on had begun to walk towards you two. You felt sweat forming on the palms of your hands, feeling your heart quickly skip a beat as you heard her say hi to Kirishima.

"Hey, I see you are slacking off again," She joked, her smile bright and somehow sweet. It made you sad but it also made you notice that she seem like a nice girl. It made you want to cry because how were you suppose to compete with her? You did tell Kirishima you weren’t going to say anything, but without a reason and you knew that the more you kept to yourself, the harder it would be to keep together. She was talking to him, ignoring you but it felt more like her being shy. You didn’t want to interrupt her conversation with your friend.

“Hey Kiri, I’m going to the restroom,” You said, your attempt to get away from the light flirting and the feeling of pressure in your chest.

“Oh, wait, Y/N. Remember we have to meet after school,” He said to you as you walked away. You felt a slight smile cross your cheeks, and you looked back.

“I’m just going to the bathroom, but yeah, I didn’t forget.” You walked away, the tint on your cheeks noticeable to whoever decided to look your way, but you were glad you got the bathroom without a hitch. You had realized that your time in the bathroom was interrupted by a loud ring of the school bell, realizing you left class earlier than you should have but since you were in the locker room, it wasn’t too difficult to hide from the teacher’s sight. After running into the crowd of girls, you changed quickly into your school uniform, looking around for the teacher just in case they decided to pop out and scold you for leaving class early. In the time it took you to change, you noticed Kirishima’s friend changing in the distance, making it a point to not stare at her too long because that would be considered weird. Then again, you couldn’t stop noticing her features even in a school uniform. She was a nice fitted girl who seem to be surrounded by a lot of girls. She might have been someone who doesn’t get a lot of attention, but it was noticeable to all the girls that she was really pretty, smart and charming. It took a toll at your heart and your self-esteem that you were thinking this way just because Kiri liked her.

You decided to push it to the back of your mind and walked out quickly, making your way to the bathroom in the second floor. You knew that bathroom was usually lonely but occasionally the group of girls would gather inside to gossip. You walked in and made sure no one was inside, and you started to tear up. You didn't cry but the tears just ran down your face and they didn't stop. You tried to wipe them away, but the more you did, the more you started to think about how useless you felt. Why couldn't you say anything to him? It was so hard to even ask him how he felt about you . Not just as a friend but just a normal girl.

Even after all that, you thought maybe letting some emotions out would make it a little better to face your friend, but it never really was. You ended up going home instead, forgetting that you were suppose to meet him after school like he had reminded you. You didn't even remember when you got home, and even then, you weren't worried about seeing him that day. Its when he called you that you had remembered. You took your time to answer, giving off a tired 'hello' in response.

"Hey, where are you? Its been 20 minutes since school was over and I didn't see you come out the locker rooms. Are you doing okay?"

"Ah, sorry. I went home. I will have to take a rain check today." It went silent for a bit, hearing some shuffling on the other side before he responded.

"Alright, well, I was invited to hang with you-know-who so I guess I can go with her. Just... keep me updated? Last time you didn't even say anything when you hurt your arm." You couldn't help but chuckle at the memory of your broken arm.

"Yeah, sure. I'll make sure to keep you on the loop at all hours of the day. You have fun." You could hear his chuckle as he hung up, your smile fading as you heard the end of the call.

"Don't have too much fun.."

Taxi

Date: 221024

Contains: Kind of chill, easy-going.

Pairing: Baekhyun x F. Reader

WC: 1,3k

Masterlist

¤¤

Jolted by the door suddenly opening and the driver's subsequent objection you stare, perplexed.

"Hey, can you- oh, shit. I thought you were free, the sign-"

"What are you doing!", your taxi driver shouts at the man. "We're in the middle of traffic!"

"Sorry, I thought you were free. I…", he says, starting to close the door, but opens it again.

Changing his focus to you instead, his brown eyes pleading.

"I'm gonna miss my flight…"

"Hey, hey, buddy, the light's turning!"

"S.L.A.?", you ask.

"Yes..?"

"Close the door, we're rolling!"

"Eh...he can share!", you shout to the driver, more out of stress than actually being caught up to the situation.

"I can?!"

"Get in, damn it!", your driver shouts at him, hearing the honking vehicles behind him.

"Oh my god, thank you."

Throwing his bag in first, he then jumps in himself and finally closes the door, letting the traffic flow.

"I thought you were free, your sign is lit. I was just gonna jump in real quick but…"

Frowning at him through the rearview mirror the driver sighs, but seems to have let up a bit since you're now moving.

"It's the lady's ride your bogarting…"

"Bogarting? Aren't you going to the airport?"

"No, I am. I think he means the…", you gesture with your hands. "It's fine. I've been there."

Truth was you hadn't - you were always out in good time, afraid of something like this otherwise happening, but his flustered demeanor pulls at your heart strings.

"I had a cab waiting, but I got stuck in the elevator-"

His story gets interrupted by the driver's loud guffaw.

"....yeah. I didn't have any service in there, so I just took whichever cab available. Thought I did."

"When is your flight, buddy?"

"Boarding's in thirty-five minutes."

"Thirty-five?", you echo, getting nervous just hearing it considering the drive is at least fifty minutes.

"It's fine now. As long as we don't get stuck somewhere I'll be alright. Checked in online", he smiles, then abruptly stretches his hand out. "Baekhyun."

"Y/N."

"You should put Saint in front of it."

It's a ridiculous thing to say, but nonetheless puts a little jitter in your chest.

Informational talks over, you turn to your side, somewhat awkward and look out the window as the high-rises give way to two-level industrial buildings. The low, orange October sun plays over the roofs and windows, glittering brightly like golden armour against the still green grass and clear blue sky.

Sensing movement you glance towards Baekhyun; loosening his tie he looks caught out.

"Oh, heh. Is it okay if I get changed?"

"Ch- now? Here? Eh…"

"My shirt! Just my shirt", he explains, realising it might not have been all clear. "I have a t-shirt underneath…"

"Oh..! Of course. I thought you meant like…"

"Ha-ha! I'm not that desperate for comfort."

"Short flight?"

"M-hm. Malbrook, two hours", he nods, pulling the shirt down his shoulders.

Not intentionally looking but - as the case almost always is - your eyes travel to his body. He's kind of fit… With the suit and tie gone he at once looks softer, and softer still when he pulls a casual knit jumper over his head, his hair tumbling down over his face. Running his hand through it, a few strands still fall back down on his ear but he pays it no mind, carefully folding and stuffing his used clothes in his bag.

"Visiting my parents for Halloween", he continues but puts his fingers up. "No. Visiting parents for All Hallows, nieces and nephews for Halloween."

"Solemn days, fun nights, right?", you smile and nod; having a lot of ancestors and three siblings you know the mix well.

"Oh! You too? Where are you going?"

"Sheftona."

"That's...way north, northwest?"

"Huh..? Most people have no clue."

He laughs and swipes his fingers on the edge of his mouth.

"My father's a truck driver. I... we had a lot of maps growing up."

"Not Google maps?"

"Google..! Please, I'd've thought I'd traveled a hundred years into the future", he laughs.

"A hundred? Like, you know how sci-fi movies from the fifties, sixties always has year 2000 be humans communicating telepathically..?"

"And everyone wears the same style of onesie."

Continuing to talk like this, your bodies gradually turn from facing forward to facing each other, legs bent on the seat, wide gestures and equally wide smiles.

"...and I know we probably sound like old timers to the younger generation-"

"- the way we felt when we were kids, hearing grownups reminiscing …"

"Exactly. But I swear, I think we had the best stuff, the best time. Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation…"

"Ah! Do you remember, if you guys did, going over to your friends house, bringing the whole console?"

He claps his hands loudly and laughs. You might not be the best or coolest generation, but speaking to someone of the same age - no matter if you know them or not - there's a bond of happy nostalgia.

"...I love seeing them, but there's always the "you should visit more often", which makes me feel a little guilty for moving in the first place" you frown.

"Mm, you're still their kid. They want to make sure you're okay."

"Your parents say that too?"

"Mom calls every Sunday, six o' clock to hear my schedule for the week."

"What, that's adorable..!"

"Wants to make sure I'm "eating, sleeping and dating", as she put it. Which I am. Well, not the dating part…"

"Haven't found your one true love yet?"

"Haven't found, haven't looked. Cus I work so much, weird hours, different schedule every other month, out of town a third of the year… I… I kind of feel like", he pauses, resting his head in his palm. "...like it wouldn't be fair. If I'm telling someone "it's us", then it turns into mostly me, you know?"

"Hmm...but isn't that… I mean, if you find someone who doesn't care. Not doesn't care, just someone who's fine with it?"

"It starts out that way, then you-"

"Me?"

"Aeh…", he chuckles, waving his hand. "The hypothetical girlfriend."

"...Is your flight leaving soon too?"

"Mine? Why?"

"You keep looking at your watch."

"It's you she's worried about, buddy", the driver cuts in.

Baekhyun's eyes quicken, a bit surprised, a bit shy.

"You're worried about me?"

"No, I…It's just a habit, making sure I'm on time."

"Okay…"

He says okay but has a lingering smile, knowing full well that you're looking out for him and feeling quite good about it.

When the airport comes into view, Baekhyun immediately brings out his card, reaching forward to the driver.

"Can you swipe it now, I really gotta run?"

"No, I'll get it. It's my ride."

"Which I hijacked."

Not caring much who pays only that someone does, the driver takes Baekhyun's card and it's a done deal.

Already having hoisted his holdall over his shoulder, he quickly shoves card and receipt in a side compartment and puts his hand on the door handle.

"Sorry I have to run, it was fun." And with that he hops out, but pops his head down before closing the door. "Thank you."

You're relieved to see him get going but at the same time, the way he smiled just then…

Not many minutes pass between Baekhyun's leaving and you standing inside, trying to find your flight on the departure board way up. Scanning the list you come across his; 56B Malbrook, boarding.

You stop. Think. Feel.

"Fuck it", you say to yourself and hurry towards 56.

Full of "what am I doing? am I doing this?"- jitters, pouring out a flood of excuse me's and sorry's as you zigzag through the crowd, you scan the signs until you see it up ahead: 56. You haven't thought about what to say when you turn the corner.

You don't have to - only the personnel are left, pulling the line divider across the boarding zone.

Spare Shadows (pt. 3)

(Slow Burn Type Story)

Mako x Reader

Pt4 Masterlist

Summary: Darkness is hovering over the city. Dae is one of many struggling to survive in the city without any control. Police have exhausted all efforts to save the city. The Avatar saves Dae after being captured by Bolin and Mako. Dae, a master swordswoman, then follows the group to save her spirit friends in the city.

(No warnings, I'm attempting at a storyline that would fit into Korra. If you can watch korra, you can handle this, so rated what the show Is rated.)

The group of young adults all surrounded a screen. Nuktuk was saving the world in the mover.

They sat making commentary about the mover. Dae was watching with her eyes wide. "Bolin, you're moving in pictures." She spoke astonished.

"You haven't seen this?" Asami brows lifted.

"No. Why? How long has this been a thing? I've never heard of a mover. I thought you guys were kidding." Dae giggled through the embarrassment. She gripped the blanket, covering her legs, trying to soothe herself.

"You aren't from Republic City, are you? This was a big thing when the watertribes were having a problem. That was years ago. Varrick hasnt been able to expand the release of them yet to other towns. It's mostly in the big cities." Korra explained.

"No, I'm not. I was in a small town. I left to get a better life." She admitted the embarrassment settling in her bones further. She continued soothing herself.

"It happened for us. We grew up in an alleyway on the street." Bolin said abruptly.

"Im still shocked. We became what we used to run from." Mako added.

"I grew up locked away. I had no idea what the city was like either." Korra said

"I was always successful, but my company went under a few times after my father left. I had to take it over and struggled for a while to get it back together. Your father being a part of a gang can really set a business back." Asami trailed.

"The small town wasn't bad. This just is a lot to take in. There is a lot in the city that I've never seen before." Dae eased her tense shoulders. Everyone was so kind and open it was very reassuring. She felt a little closer to home. Small towns were much more close knit then large cities.

"I'm going to head in for the night. We have a lot of traveling before we get to the northern watertribe." Korra called out. Asami followed Korra to their room.

"Korra and Asami are sweet. Are they together?" Dae asked.

Mako tensed up immediately. The couple was still being processed in his mind. They weren't a problem. Their history was just a big adjustment to make.

"Yeah, they are dating." Bolin didn't notice his brothers uncomfortable demeanor. "We are meeting my girlfriend at the water tribe. Her name is Opal."

"Her name is pretty. I bet you two make a great couple." Dae leaned back in her seat, just making comfortable conversation with the brothers. "What about you, Mako?"

"Huh?" Mako snapped his eyes up. He had been lost in thought.

"Are you seeing anyone? We were talking about the relationships in the group." Dae asked and explained politely.

"Oh... No. I'm not." Mako spoke with simplicity.

"He isn't dating right now. He dated Asami for a while then..."

"Bolin..." Mako warned in a low voice, interrupting his brother.

"It's not important. Mako doesn't like to talk about it." Bolin finished awkwardly pressing his thumbs together.

"Well, I don't know why she'd break up with you. You're hot. She's hot. Seems like a match made in heaven." Dae said, trying to difuse the situation with compliments.

"Well, he kissed Korra." Bolin continued, his mouth always seemed to outrun his brain. "Bolin!" Mako said again.

"Well, that will do it." Dae grabbed the blankets, trying to soothe herself, knowing that things had escalated.

"I'm going to bed. Try to keep the shaming me to a minimum." Venom seemed to slip off Mako's words.

"Mako, I didn't mean to bring up..." Dae tried to remedy the situation, but mako had left. "Anything." She said quietly.

"Don't worry about him. He will be okay. He's just still dealing with it." Bolin attempting to ease her.

"Okay. I think I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning, Bolin."

The pair said their goodnights and Dae left to her room. It was cold, so cold she almost went back to the living room for another blanket. She decided against it and fell asleep from the long, busy day.

The next morning was less eventful and more tense. Dae walked in and sat at the table where breakfast was already set out.

"Good morning. I hope you dont mind. We let you sleep in." Korra greeted.

"Thanks." You sat down in the seat and began eating.

"Where's Mako? He's normally up by now." Asami asked, looking towards the hall.

"Dae asked if you two were dating, and I just kept talking." Bolin's lip quivered, knowing his brother was upset because of him.

"Oh." Asami said quickly.

"You two are sweet together. You both compliment each other. " Dae had seen the couple being soft with each other a few times since waking up.

"Thanks. We try to keep it tame around Mako. He is still adjusting. There's history there for both of us. We don't really talk about it around him." Korra breathed out.

"Yeah, thanks for the memo." Dae sunk down into her chair in defeat.

"He'll be fine. What is in the plans for today?" Asami asked the group changing the subject.

"We won't be at the watertribe until tomorrow." Korra said, taking a bite of her food.

"So, let's do something fun." Asami smiled at Dae and Bolin, trying to bring up their spirits. Bolin and Dae both felt guilty for Mako's absence.

"What about Mako?" Dae asked. She couldn't help but ask. She remembered how nice he was to her when she first woke up. He didn't talk much. He was quiet, and when he did talk, he had been kind to her. She was twiddling her thumbs, trying not to remember the insensitivity she had towards him.

"Bolin, why don't you go get him? Tell him we are out on the deck. Dae, did you bring a swimsuit?" Dae's eyes widened at Asami, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"No, most of my stuff was destroyed. I didn't really think about looking for it. We were in a rush."

"Hey, no worries. I have an extra one you can have. I always keep extra on the ship, just in case." Asami stood up. "Follow me, we can get changed and go get some sun before we enter the cold climate."

"But isn't this saving the world stuff kinda serious?" Dae followed Asami down a dark hallway.

"Bolin, go get Mako." Korra called out, following behind Dae and Asami. "You'll learn saving the world is kind of an all the time thing. You have to take the spare time you have and enjoy it when you can."

"Noted." Dae said, walking into the room with the couple. Asami handed her a swimsuit, and Dae left to change. She had to admit Asami had tasted. The swimwear was flattering.

She stepped out where Asami and Korra had changed. Asami definitely had great taste. Their swimwear was just as flattering. The group of girls all walked up to the deck. Asami laid out towels. Korra, and Dae put out lounge chairs.

Korra and Asami sat down in their chairs. Dae leaned against the rail. "You know this is my first time really being in the middle of the ocean. It's beautiful. I've never seen so much water."

Bolin ran across the deck. "Isn't it incredible. Me and Mako used to go play on the beach when we were younger. Mako always wanted his own ship to sail." Bolin said as he and Mako made their way towards the group. The brothers sat next to one another in their swimsuits, and Mako kept his distance from the couple. No one dared say anything about his absence.

"I wish I could have my own ship. I dont think I'd ever be on land again." Dae said watching the water.

"Maybe there's some water tribe in your veins down the line." Korra spoke up.

"Maybe..." Dae trailed. "My dad didn't really talk much about our heritage." She looked down at the water next to the ship. A group of something flew up towards her quickly. "What are those!?!" Dae screamed, falling back from the rail plopping onto the floor of the deck. All of the group stood up, expecting a huge monster or a battleship ready to attack.

"They're flying dolphin fish..." korra said simply, turning her head to Dae, who was collapsed on the deck. "They aren't going to hurt you. You can ride on them. They're friendly."

"It just popped out of the water, and it was looking at me, and I've never seen one before." Dae scrambled to find her words and her footing. Mako gave a chuckle, and Bolin laughed loudly. Asami grabbed her hand and helped her up.

"It's okay. We get it. Do you want to ride one? Korra can take you down there and fly you back up." Asami eyed the dolphin fish. It was keeping pace with the ship, meaning perfect riding conditions.

"Are you sure?" She was not scared. She just really was not expecting something to be keeping up with the ship just looking up at her.

"Yeah. Come here. I would for your first real ocean experience to be riding a Flying Dolphin fish." Korra grabbed her wrist and held her close wrapping her arm around her. She bent the air while jumping and landed on the dolphin. "Hold on!" Korra yelled over the sound of blasting water.

Dae held onto the fin, and they both screamed in pure joy. The dolphin took off, knowing there were riders on its back. They were notoriously friendly creatures, and they knew how to show riders a good time.

The dolphin flew up and around. He splashed, and water flowed around, making waves that battled the ship. Laughter covered the top of the ship. Both Korra and Dae were completely soaked in water that was bouncing around them. Korra grabbed Dae and flew her back up the ship. Korra let her go, and Dae lost her balance falling into Mako. Giggles bubbled through the deck.

Mako caught her in his arms, helping her to balance. "Thank you." Dae looked up, seeing it was Mako's strong arms entangled with her holding her up on her feet. Even his lips were lifted with laughter showing through. Dae quickly recovered. She still had tension around him.

She stepped away and turned to see Korra lifting Bolin off to the ride the dolphin next. Asami stayed at the edge of the railing waiting for Korra. She laughed at Bolin's cheers.

"I'm sorry... about last night. I didn't know about any of -" timid words desperate for acceptance slipped from Dae's lips. She had wanted friends for so long, and the rejection from anyone in the group could lead her into the outcast again.

"It's okay. Just... let's not talk about it. There's a lot more to it than I care to discuss with you." Mako stood with his bare arms crossed.

Daes eyes trailed his buff uncovered arms unintentionally, shaking her head. "I have no idea what you're talking about then. Are you going to ride the flying dolphin fish?"

"No, korra took me before. It's not really my thing." Mako shook his head.

"Then what is your thing?" Dae asked as Bolin came up splashing water all over the deck of the ship. Korra grabbed Asami around the waist. She took her off the ship, and they rode off with the dolphin laughing with Bolin cheering them on.

"Not Dolphin riding." Mako stood up straight and walked off the deck to the door.

Dae's eyes flicked where his eyes were pinned. She saw what he was seeing.

Empathy for Mako placed a fake smile over her lips as she watched the couple enjoy each other's company. The sadness was far too strong for the smile to be real.

Her lenses of the world around her switched. Such an incredible group of people with a close bond had suddenly become a group of people that weren't as put together as she had once thought.

"That was so much fun!" Asami screamed as she jumped back on top of the deck.

Korra laughed loudly. As she stepped onto the deck. She looked around, and her laugh slowed in pace. "Where's Mako? It's his turn."

"He said he wanted to get some food since he missed breakfast." Dae smiled with it not quite reaching her eyes.

"Well then next time." Korra waved to the Dolphin. "Thank you!" She called out. The others in the group joined her appreciation as the Dolphin flew away.

They sat back down on the lounge chairs. The sun was still high in the sky. They laid out talking for a few hour. The air started to slightly chill over. "It's starting to get cold." Dae's arms started to cover with goose bumps.

"We hit the current a few minutes ago. It will only get colder from here. We're in the water tribe waters now." Korra said as she looked out at the sea.

"I'm going to head inside." Dae said softly.

"We'll catch up to you in a little while." Asami waved to Dae.

Dae stepped down below the deck. She walked to her room, getting changed into comfortable clothes.

She walked into the living room to get to the kitchen. Mako's eyes lifted from his book, then dropped them back down as he realized it was just Dae.

"I told them that when you came inside, you went to have breakfast. Just don't say you haven't eaten." Dae said as she passed through the doors she walked towards the kitchen doorway.

"Okay." Mako said quickly without taking his eyes off his book.

Dae nodded and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a cup and put a pot of water over the stove.

"Thanks for covering me." Makos voice echoed within the empty kitchen as he passed through the door.

"Yeah, don't mention it." She breathed out as she focused on the cabinets looking for tea. She found a box of green tea. She grabbed the box and set it on the counter with her cup.

Mako walked through the kitchen. "What are you making?"

"Just some tea, it's freezing outsi-"

She stopped as makos chest pressed into her back. He poured the lukewarm water in the cup for her. He turned off the stove, and his hand grazed her hip as he pulled it away from the dial. He reaches around her, his arm was touching her sending chills from his warm temperature compared to her cool skin. He leaned over her with his other hand on her other shoulder. Warmth surrounded her cold skin. "I got it." He said just above a whisper, taking his fingers and bending flames to the water, making it bubble into the perfect temperature. He stepped back and walked back to the couch, sitting back down to continue reading.

"Thanks." Dae said softly just enough for him to hear as he walked away. Her breath was taken from her. He was a fire bender, but in this moment, she swore he was an air nomad stealing the oxygen around her.

"Don't mention it." He started reading again from where he left off.

Dae finished making herself tea and put everything away. She sipped on the tea, praying that it had magically ran cold just to have him heat it again.

The doors opened, letting cold air crash into the room. Bolin crashed into the room, bumping around play fighting with Korra.

Asami followed the pair. "Oh, Mako. Dae. what are you two doing?"

"Nothing. I, um, came in to get some tea." Fluster smothered Dae's voice. Mako never looked up from his book, a smirk plastered over his face. "I started reading after my late breakfast."

"Tea sounds good, maybe a game, and the fireplace going." Korra said. "Mako, can you start the fire."

He closed his book and put wood into the fireplace. He bended fire around it, creating warmth in the room. Dae sat down across the room at the opposite couch from him, sipping her tea. Her eyes lingered on him over the mug. His strong arms displayed with just a white tank top. His messy hair that was gelled when she first met him, the way his purely golden eyes reflected the blaze he had created. She flicked her eyes away from him as Bolin walked to the couch sitting next to her. "You up for a game of Pai Sho." He asked Dae, effectively breaking her from her trance.

"I would love that." She nodded to Bolin.

Troublemaker

Sebastian Sallow x Reader – 3.508 words

"I am Sebastian", the handsome guy comes over to me to introduce himself. "Hi Sebastian! Nice to meet you! I’m the new fifth grader everyone is talking about." I laugh and smile at him. "Nice to meet you too. Are you enjoying Hogwarts so far?", Sebastian asks me. – "It's amazing! I haven't known that I'm a witch that long and it's still all so overwhelming." We start chitchatting. "Are you coming from a muggle family then? I'm happy that you figured out who you are, being a witch is a wonderful thing." I look at him. "Uh...I'm not exactly sure. I don't know my parents because I was adopted. But I am very happy to be here."

Sebastian smiles at me. "I will be a good friend to you. I will support you through anything in any way I can. And I just know we will make the best of our Hogwarts years." "It's nice that we’ve met", I smile at him. "I was afraid I won't find any friends here."

"Don't be silly, of course you'll make friends. You just made a new friend with me. I'm sure you will make more and I'm sure we'll have lots of fun times together. Let me know if you ever need anything and I'll do what I can to help. Also, if there is anyone giving you a hard time, I can put them to a stop if it comes to it. Just make sure to let me know, okay?" I look at him gratefully and he returns my gaze. He winks and I have to laugh.

"So, tell me about our first adventure together", I wink back. "Hmm ... what about I help you find the path to the Hufflepuff common room? I'd be happy to be your guide and take you to all your classes for your first week. What do you say?" I wink at him again. "I am a Ravenclaw but we could sneak into the Hufflepuff common room. I heard it is very ... cute." I laugh. "Even better! We'll sneak into the Hufflepuff common room and cause as much havoc as we can.", Sebastian responds with a twinkle in his eyes. "We'll be besties by the end of it. That sounds like a perfect adventure!"

I laugh again. "I can see we are absolutely on the same wavelength!" "Great minds think alike, and we are indeed on the same wavelength. You seem very sweet. Are you sure you're not a Hufflepuff?" He grins at me. "Hey, what do you have against Ravenclaws?" I ask playing indignantly. Sebastian raises his eyebrows and raises his hands. "Nothing at all! Ravenclaws aren't too bad. They're a little uptight and a little too obsessed with learning things but they mean well. I'm sure you don't fit into the stereotypes." "Correct", I wink. "Why should I study? I'm smart enough already." I grin and Sebastian chuckles.

"C'mon, the Hufflepuff common room is waiting for us!" With these words I run off. "Yes. Adventure first, homework after. But don't let your grades slip or I'll have to teach you a lesson." Sebastian grins. "Okay, let's go cause trouble. Let's go annoy the Hufflepuffies."

"Sure YOU have to teach me a lesson and not the other way around?" I laugh while we’re walk to the Hufflepuff common room together. He starts to laugh. "You think you can discipline me? I can't wait to see you try." "If you keep this up, you'll see it soon enough." I grin back widely. He starts to laugh again. "And what can you do to me?" he says in a teasing tone. "I can't wait to see you try to punish a Slytherin." "You may be crazier than me, but I'm smarter." I stick my tongue out at him. He starts to laugh out loudly. "And what will sticking your tongue out do to me? I suppose I'll stick mine out too!" He sticks his tongue out to and starts to laugh again. "I suppose I look ridiculous, huh?" "Damn right!" I start laughing too

He laughs more. "We must look like idiots, but I don't care." Sebastian starts laughing again. "You're making me feel so good. I wasn't having the best day but this, this is what I needed, a good laugh. I'm so glad we did this together." He chuckles.

Finally, we arrive at the Hufflepuff common room and sneak in. "So, let's cause trouble! … oh my gosh, candy! There's so much candy in here!" Sebastian laughs when he sees my disbelieving look. "Of course they have tons of candy. They're Hufflepuffs. They always have sweet stuff." – "I have to eat sweets now!" – Sebastian is still laughing. "Okay. Let's eat first and then cause trouble. Do you know what kind of candy you're going to have?" I ask him while eating sweets: "Do you happen to have any stink bombs with you? – Of course I do." He reaches into his pocket and grab a stink bomb." Great idea. We'll definitely have to throw one of these stink bombs. It'll make our adventure a million times better!" He takes the stink bomb in his hand and smiles. "This is about to get really, really smelly …" He lights the fuse and runs like hell. I swallow the rest of my muffin and run after Sebastian laughing.

After running outside, we slow down. "This is awesome! But getting in so much trouble is totally worth it." Sebastian takes a deep breath and laughs. I respond grinning: "Trouble is my second name. Maybe I should've warned you?" – "So, you're a trouble maker, hmm?" Sebastian laughs. "I can see that by the way you're acting. But so am I, we're both troublemakers so we'll make the best of it together." – "Maybe I'm a Slytherin at heart?" I grin. "There is nothing wrong with Slytherin! Sure, they have a bad reputation but they're not all bad! They are smart, ambitious, cunning. Slytherin is a very good house to be in. And you'd certainly get along with them. But that does explain your love for adventure and causing trouble. You'd fit right in!" Sebastian laughs.

"Come on, let's chase annoying students." Sebastian pulls me on. I burst out laughing. "You really are more nuts than me." "No, I'm not nuts! I say quietly I'm just very adventurous, curious, and determined", Sebastian corrects me with a grin. "I'm more than nuts, I can be very clever. Let's go!"

We start to sneak slowly around the castle. I make sure to move with great care and I try to make sure that nobody can see us as we go. I look around carefully, searching for any trace of annoying students. I'm still laughing but I follow him. This seems to be getting really interesting. It's starting to get dark now, the sun has set. We go through the castle grounds without being seen. Then a dark figure appears in front of us. "Uh, look! A dark wizard!" I start laughing again. "Expelliarmus!" I point my wand at the dark figure for fun and snatch the wand out of the hand. The figure slowly turns around ... it's Professor Sharp and he doesn't look amused. Oops ... Professor Sharp is glaring at us with anger.

"… you really got us in hot water this time." Sebastian whispers. "Did you have to shoot magic at him?" "Uh... good evening, Professor!" I try to put on a good face at the bad game.

Sebastian can’t suppress a laugh. "You're not making this any better, you know that right? You're definitely a troublemaker." "How should I know it's Professor Sharp?" I whisper back. "I thought it was Garreth Weasley or some other student …" We're going to get in so much trouble now …

The next day we both have detention, with Professor Sharp himself.

Sebastian sighs. "Here we are. You did a good job of getting us in trouble. But I have to admit, you make me laugh so I don't mind it." "I whisper back: "I'm so sorry, Sebastian. I really didn't want to give us a detention." I look at Professor Sharp, who is doing paperwork at his desk. "Guess we have to clean cauldrons." Sebastian is definitely not amused. "You're killing me, you know that right? I guess we deserve it though …" He glances at the cauldrons. "They look so old and dirty, I don't want to go anywhere near them. I'm sure we have to wear like heavy gloves to even hold them. This is really going to be awful for us, isn't it?"

Professor Sharp, without looking up from his work, says: "Miss, you’re quite right. Cleaning cauldrons seems to be an appropriate punishment." Sebastian starts whispering again: "We’re gonna be here for hours then, aren't we?"

Professor Sharp looks at him and frowns: "That's right, Mister Sallow. Get to work." I let out a long sigh and I bow my head in embarrassment. I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be this bad. We slowly go over to the pile of dirty cauldrons.

When we leave the classroom late at night, we're both dirty and sweaty, like we've bathed in the cauldrons. Sebastian looks at us and lets out a long sigh. "Oh dear … look at us." He wipes the sweat and dirt off his face. "We look like we just got out from bathing in a cesspool or something. We smell horrible and our clothing is beyond ruined. We definitely need to shower and change."

"Sebastian, it's already past curfew ..." I grin wickedly at him. "How about we sneak into the prefect's bathroom? There will even be a pool." He grins back. "You're crazy and I love it. Why didn't I think of that before? Let's do it." We start to sneak down to where the prefects bathroom is. I look over at him and I start to grin. "This gonna be an adventure for sure."

Laughing quietly, we sneak through Hogwarts together until we arrive at the prefects' bathroom. I make sure no one is around and push the door open carefully. "This is it, the prefects bathroom. Now let's do this quickly and quietly, we don't want anyone to come in here and hear us. I don't know what would happen if we got caught." I see that nobody is around and let out a long sigh of relief. "Well, the coast is clear. Now, let's enjoy this." I lock the door and we slip off our dirty robes.

As they come off, we get a small sense of relief. Sebastian lets out a small sigh of joy and grabs some of the soap. Alright, who goes in first?" I laugh. "The pool is big enough for the two of us." I grin. "Come on!" And with that, I jump into the pool. He jumps in the pool right after me. "Oh wow! I've never been in a pool like this, this is so awesome! It's so clean and warm in here. Now, we can relax and enjoy ourselves in privacy." He splashes the water around and smiles. "This makes the detention we just went through all seem worth it."

We start to laugh as we play around the pool. "This is amazing. I'm not sure how we snuck in and found the perfect time to soak in the pool, but it sure as hell was a good idea." Sebastian grins and dunks himself in the water. "I feel like a kid on vacation." Then he starts to swim around the pool. "I could just live and swim in here. I might end up living in the pool for the rest of my life, if I had the chance."

I grin. "We have all the time in the World. Or ... at least that night." He smiles at me. "Yeah, for the rest of the night we can relax and soak in the pool. Do you want to play any games or anything to pass the time? Or do you just want to chill and float? I don't care what we do, either way I'm happy." He grins and splashes the water at me. "I just like having time with you, even if we're just relaxing."

"Which games are you talking about?" I raise an eyebrow. Sebastian laughs a bit. "I was thinking we could play truth or dare, but we could really do anything. Just anything to pass the time."

"Why do I have the feeling that I will regret this at some point?" I laugh. "Truth or dare sounds great. As you know, I have a talent for getting people into trouble." I wink at him. Sebastian smiles back. "Alright you can go first. Truth or dare. You pick."

I laugh again. "Well, an easy start. I choose truth." He smiles and asks: "Do you have a crush on anyone in this school? I'm curious and I know that's a very common teen question to ask a friend so I ask, do you have a crush on anyone in this school?" I shake my head. "Nope." He raises an eyebrow. "Really? I can't believe it … alright, alright. I believe you." Now it’s my time to ask. "Truth or dare?" He smiles. "Dare. I know you like dares." He winks. "Let's hear it. I’m excited, whatcha gonna ask me to do? Give me a good dare."

I think and look around the room. "Alright", I laugh. "You have to go out the door and walk around the hallway. Naked." I grin devilishly. He looks at me surprised. "Oh wow ... that's ... quite a dare." He takes a deep breath "Yeah, I guess I can't turn it down. Alright, I'll do it." I start to get up and I take my underwear off. "Is this really what you want me to do?" I grin even wider. "Exactly." Sebastian gets up. "Alright, I'm gonna go walk around the hallway naked. Wish me luck." He lets out a nervous laugh and opens the door. Then he pauses for a moment as he looks around. He starts to walk down the hallway. I'm trying to suppress a laugh. And above all not to look at certain parts of him ...

It takes about a minute but Sebastian finally returns to the bathroom. "I did it! I can't believe I had the nerves to do that." We both start laughing. "That was incredible! I can't believe you made me do that." He smiles and I laugh well played. I wink that was quite a dare for you so I think it's time I do the same to you." I sigh. "I think I deserve it." I chuckle. "Dare."

Sebastian grins. "I'll dare you to do the same thing I just did. I think that’s fair." He laughs. "I have a reputation I gotta keep up, don't I? Come on, do the dare. I already showed that I'm willing. How about you? Whatdya say?" "No problem." I grin, step out of the pool and take off my underwear. Then I go to the door. Sebastian looks at me and starts to laugh. "You really have the confidence for this don't you? Alright, we're counting the seconds now. You get a minute to walk in the naked." He pauses and grins "Go!"

With a devilish grin, I sneak out of the bathroom to do as I was told. I walk down the hallway for a minute, go back into the bathroom and lock the door again. Then I go back into the pool. It's only now that Sebastian seems to be realizing that we're both naked in the pool together. He smiles at me. "You really did it. You did just like I told you too. I'm glad you're enjoying the experience. I'm honestly surprised you have the confidence to do these types of things. Most people would freak out if asked to do this." He laughs. "Well, I guess we're not most people … I'm glad I found you in this school. You're someone that's really fun to be with."

I grin. "Without you, life here would definitely be boring as hell." Then I laugh. He starts to laugh along with me. "Well, glad I could make life more fun for you. It's good to have someone like you as a friend. It makes life not so dull and boring, like you said it would be. You're a good friend, yanno that, right?"

Then we both sit back and chat. We relax into the water and I feel my muscles start to release, in a way I find it calming. "o, what's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?" Sebastian asks me and grins. "I bet you'll give me some good stories. My most embarrassing moment was probably what just happened. Come on, let's share the embarrassing moments of our life. I'm sure neither of us have had easy, boring lives." I grin.

"You mean worse than accidentally disarming the toughest teacher in school? I break into a fit of laughter. That got us the detention we're in the prefects' bathroom together for, after all. I think about it. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that I did it." Sebastian laughs. "You know what!? You're right!" He starts to giggle. "I guess that's a very good point. I'm actually kind of glad that you did it." I look at you I never went to detention before so this is a new experience. Well, I guess this will be a fond memory that we can look back on." He laughs. "I guess this is what school memories are made of, isn't that right?" I look at him. "No way?! You never hat detention before? I don't believe you!" He smiles. "I'm telling the truth. You are an influence for me. I couldn't ask for a better friend." He smiles at me. "You're perfect."

I blush. "Okay, I'll take that as a compliment." I giggle. He smiles back and then notices a red flush on my cheeks. "Am I flustering you?" He says in a light-hearted tone and grins. "Guess I know my way around teasing people, huh? It’s kind of fun making people react like this when I speak to them. You have to admit it's quite a talent!" I laugh again. And then, in a moment of courage, we kiss.

I blush intensely as we kiss, I never expected it, but in a way, I knew it was inevitable. I feel her lips against my own and I can't help but smile. I smile and I kiss her back, as I hold the kiss for longer than I originally thought I would. I enjoy every second of the kiss and as we pull apart and I start to let put a big smile on my face. I start to chuckle a little "Wow", I smile. "That was something. I didn't think would happen but I enjoyed it."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." I laugh. Then we kiss again, more passionately this time.

I continue to hold the kiss and as we start to pull away, my heart is racing in my chest and I have a big smile on my face. "Wow ..." I stare in awe. "What was ... that was ... wow. I definitely enjoyed that." I smile as I gaze into your eyes. "You really are quite the kisser, you know that?" I smile. "You really know how to make me feel good."

We start kissing again. This time we're not holding back.

Later we get out of the pool, grab our clothes and sneak out of the bathroom again. Through the windows we see the sun rising. We really were in the pool together all night.

I look at the window and see that the sun was rising. We had both lost track of the time as we were having so much fun together. I start to chuckle. "Wow it is quite late." I smile "Guess we had a little more fun than we intended to have tonight, eh?" I let out a laugh and smile. "We really got caught up in the moment, didn't we?" I smirk. We definitely took advantage of the moment.

We grin at each other and each of us make our way to our common room. Me to Ravenclaw, Sebastian to Slytherin.

I smile and watch her walk away from me. She was so lovely. I couldn't help but smile as I let out a little sigh and then I start to laugh. I shake my head and I let out a little laugh as I start walking to the Slytherin common room. God, she was just absolutely so amazing. I'm starting to think that she might be the one for me. It's been awhile since I've met someone who makes me feel this good. I can't believe we just spent the wee hours of the night talking and making out until the sun rose.

To The Gentle You 2

Writer: Mitsuki

Character(s): Kagehira Mika, Aoba Tsumugi

Translated by: stcrfeesh

CN Proof by: jewwyfeesh

Mika: Ta be frank, it’s kinda embarrassin’ ta see fans cherish somethin’ with yer face on it as if it were a masterpiece meant fer display ～♪

Please read the translator notes at the end!

Season: Summer

Location: Dressing Room

Tsumugi: (Phew… I'm finally finished with work today, I've been so busy that I'm in complete shambles. All that’s left is to return these outfits to the dressing room.)

(Huh? How are the lights still switched on? It's already so late, is someone still here?)

Mika: Good evenin’ Tsumu-chan-senpai～ you’ve got a lotta clothes there, are ya returnin’ ��em? If ya don’t mind, lemme help ya out with that.

Tsumugi: Oh, it’s just you, Mika-kun. Thank you, you’re a lifesaver～ ♪

Mika: Ya seem ta be in a good mood, huh, Tsumu-chan-senpai～?

Tsumugi: Haha, it’s just that, working alongside you reminds me of our time in Yumenosaki’s Handicrafts club～ … Though I don’t often show up in the club room.

But happier memories always leave a deeper impression, and as such, it’s easier for us to remember them, don’t you think so? Even after I started working, I find myself reminiscing on my time in Yumenosaki, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside ♪

Mika: Now that ya mention it, ever since ya started working at ES, ya always seem to be very busy～ Even though we’re in different agencies, I still keep hearin’ about how yer workin’ late into the night.

Bein’ the vice president of an agency must tirin’, huh? I think our own vice president from our agency takes dietary supplements too. Though, I think that ain’t gonna be good fer yer body in the long run?

Tsumugi: Don’t worry about me, I still am strict about my lifestyle～ After all, as an idol, it’s easy to falter during live performances when you aren't physically fit.

But when it’s about working until the late hours, it’s instead more like a test of willpower ♪

Mika: Nnah～ I understand where ye’r comin’ from about this. When I used ta work all over the place, Naru-chan would be fussin’ about how I might’ve been overworkin’ myself.

No matter how ya put it, staying up without sleep fer three whole days can’t be good～ ya should be more careful, Tsumu-chan-senpai. Why don’t ya let yer body rest for a bit?

Tsumugi: Haha, well, I am holding down two jobs simultaneously.. Not to mention, both NewDi and Switch are going through a crucial stage of their development. For idols to blossom and shine, a little exhaustion is inevitable.

Anyway, why are you still here? There are so many things on the table, are you going to make a new outfit for Valkyrie?

Mika: Nnah… actually, I had rushed to finish makin’ the outfits for our performance, so now I’m worried about somethin’ else.

Tsumugi: I see… so you plan on giving Narukami-kun a handmade brooch as a gift… that does sound nice, actually…

But aren’t there a bunch of identical-looking brooches over here already? Could it be that you’re planning on giving Narukami-kun a bag like the ones fans have? The one that’s decorated with a bunch of badges? [1]

Mika: Ah, did senpai mean the handbags fans would often carry with them during fan meetin’s? That’s how some fans show their love for idols, I guess.

Ta be frank, it’s kinda embarrassin’ ta see fans cherish somethin’ with yer face on it as if it were a masterpiece meant fer display.

Actually, these are just the defects… no matter how hard I try ta copy the one from the photo that Naru-chan liked, I still can’t get it right.

When I make things from scratch, I usually make a whole mess of ‘em. I really tried my best not to this time, but somehow, I still ended up gummin’ it up either way. I dunno why, but it just feels like somethin’ important’s missin’, y’know?

Tsumugi: Hm… if you don’t mind, I can offer some suggestions; as a thank you of sorts for helping me out earlier.

Mika: Fer real～? Then, thank ya kindly, senpai ♪ I have a photo of what the brooch looks like, it’s here on my phone—

Tsumugi: ……?

Mika-kun, I know the photo is a bit blurry, but isn’t that just you and Narukami-kun in it?

Mika: Mika-kun, I know the photo is a bit blurry, but isn’t that just you and Narukami-kun in it?

Tsumugi: Haha. I actually think these brooches you’ve made are already perfect. Even if it were me or Shu-kun trying our hand at this, it still wouldn’t be able to compare with yours.

If you’re still unsatisfied with your work, why don’t you look at it from a different perspective?

Mika: A different perspective?

Tsumugi: I think you never really intended to remake it so perfectly. After all, what you truly wanted was just to surprise Narukami-kun with a gift, right?

If you dwell too much on that brooch, you’ll end up losing sight of your true purpose in making it, you know?

Mika: ……

Tsumugi: Ahaha, let me think of a better way to explain it—

Oh, yeah. That blurry photo you accidentally showed me earlier, did you forget to delete or did you not want to delete it?

Mika: Nnah… it’s kinda embarrassin’ ta say it, but I really have got no plans on deletin’ it.

I know it ain’t a nice shot, but as long as I look at it, I’m reminded of how we were when we took that photo ♪

Tsumugi: Haha, you’re smiling so happily right now. The photo must hold a memory that’s only yours and Narukami-kun’s alone, doesn’t it? It’s a photo that can never be replaced by any other photo you can take — no matter how good it might be.

So, rather than imitating that brooch, why not opt for a design that has all of your heart’s intentions poured into it, perhaps that will touch Narukami-kun’s heart?

Mika: A design that’ll touch Naru-chan’s heart… I get it now! Yer right, Tsumu-chan-senpai! Naru-chan will definitely love jewellery that’s tailor-made fer her!

I may not be as good as those professionals out there, but when it comes to understanding who Naru-chan is, I’m confident that I know her better ♪

Ah, Tsumu-chan-senpai, please keep your lips sealed ‘bout this and not tell Naru-chan a thing!

Tsumugi: Of course～ that way, she’d really be surprised, don’t you think?

I’ll give you this amulet that I brought with me today. I hope that this can bring you luck ♪ If you’ll ever need anything, feel free to come to me and ask for my help.

Mika: Nnah～ thank ya, Tsumu-chan-senpai. I’ll definitely make the best gift fer Naru-chan!

Translator's notes:

[1]: Tsumugi meant itabags. If you aren’t familiar with itabags, here is an example of one: Shinkai Kanata Itabag by waterfudge.

Dance lesson

its 6 am and im writing silly stories !!!!!! warning this happens in a killing game universe; obviously nothing bad happens but the athmosphere is a bit creepier than usual O_o also there's a slight reference to the 1st chapter victims in the beginning paragraph. otherwise, its just the silly people being very sweet and dumb

Kiyotaka and Frogeru were walking through the hallways. After being forced into a situation as stressful as a "killing game" can be, getting to know every part of your surroundings is key to survival. Dusty empty classrooms wouldn't have been such an eerie sight if it wasn't for the overwhelming feeling of terror that trapped the students into their own thoughts. The air was almost suffocating. Every particle of dust carried a weight comparable to a small baseball ball. No one had the power to look at a baseball ball with the same eyes ever again however.

Each step they took scared them into thinking they might just sink into the floor if they weren't careful. Luckly, the other would have been there to catch their friend, if that ever happened. Their friendship is what kept them strong. If they were truly on their own, all this would have been so much harder to confront. Despite meeting not so long ago, the two felt a strong connection from the moment they introduced themselves. And so, they decided to stick together. Even now, neither realized they've been holding hands for the past few minutes as they were exploring the school. It was more of a subconscious need to protect each other from danger.

- Hey, let's go there! Seems interesting enough.

Frogeru pointed towards a room not so far away from them. At first glance, you couldn't have differentiated it from the other classrooms. Upon entering, that was the case for the most part.

- What's this thing? Is it supposed to be a music player or something? Frogeru sprinted towards the device and gently shook it, maybe expecting a snack to fall out of it, like in a vending machine.

- I believe so. Perhaps they used to host school events here... Hey! Don't shake it like that! The annoyance in Taka's voice was enough to convince Frogeru to let go of the music player.

- Meh. It's pretty dusty anyway. I saw it shining through the window and thought it might be cool.

- Running around after shiny things is not the best thing to do right now. Personally, I don't think it's a good thing to do in general! Be focused, Frogeru. We must be very mindful of our actions if we don't want any strange device exploding in our faces!

- Fair enough. Huh! Dude, wait! There's a cassette in here! Should I play it? I'm gonna play it.

- No! What did I just say?! Please, just leave it be!

Frogeru's curiosity couldn't wait. She pressed the play button impatiently. A few mechanical sounds exited the speakers. Kiyotaka sat protectively in front of Frogeru, expecting something terrible to happen in the next seconds.

A soft, monotone tune started to play. No explosions, no evil teddy bears, no traps. Just an old cassette, trying its best to bring the classroom back to life with its sounds. Despite the damage, the song kept going.

- See? Calm down, man. Just a plain old music player. That song sucks so bad… Frog gave a slightly frightened Taka a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

- True, definitely not worth the reaction. I apologize. Still, isn't it quite suspicious? Can we be sure this isn't a trap?

- Well, we aren't dead yet, so I guess it's not. Dang, this song is really bad. You were right not to start playing it. It reminds me of elevator music. I don't think you could dance on this even if you wanted to, haha!

- It seems fit for slower kinds of dances. The kinds that test one's elegance and class, perhaps. It's not very remarkable. We should turn it off and quit wasting time here! There's plenty of rooms to look through.

- Wait, wait, wait! Where's the rush, my friend? We're stuck here. We can listen to this dumb song all day if we wanted to. See, how it tickles our ears with its stupidity? Haha!

- Where are you going with this? Are we leaving or not? Just like you said, there is absolutely no reason to stay here and listen.

- That's why I want to dance instead. You can't just mention it and not elaborate on that! I think we learned one of those fancy dances in kindergarten. I remember I kept getting paired with dumb kids and I would step on their feet on purpose. Great times, am I right? I am!

- You need two people for a slow dance. Currently I am your only option, but I thoroughly refuse to dance in these serious circumstances. Taka crossed his arms and looked directly at Frogeru.

- Come on, I'm not going to step on your feet, I promise! I think you are one of the people that needs to have a bit of fun the most around here. Look at you, all stressed and worried! It makes me so sad just to think what's going on inside your head.

- Frogeru, now is not the time to have fun. Ask me again when we get out of here and I'll think about it. Maybe I'll even get some practice until then.

- Practice..? Oh! You don't know how to dance! That's why you keep refusing me! Haha, don't worry, dude. I don't know what I'm doing either. I just want to see you smile once.

- I appreciate your concerns! But I don't dance. Not now. It's not the right time.

- When will be the right time? What if we get hurt? What if we don't escape?

- …

- W-What if we don't get to dance together ever again? Please, Ishi. Dance with me… Please.

The energy in Frog's tone slowly faded as she spoke. Her stuttering voice and her trembling eyes and mouth made Taka raise his arm and place it on his heart. It was hurting.

- I thought…I thought you didn't like the song…

- It really doesn't matter what song it is, does it?

- …It doesn't. Take my hand.

The light came back in Frogeru's sparkly eyes. Once they held hands again, even Taka felt more calm than before. His friend's soft smile assured him that they'll be okay.

- Um, may I have some directions first? I wouldn't want to step on your feet either.

- Yeah, sure! You need to place your other hand on my back, and I'll place mine on yours! It's more fancy than just holding hands, heh.

- Ah! I think so! You're the expert here.

Kiyotaka listened to Frogeru's explanations and tried his best to follow along. The two would move around the room in a slow spinning and walking motion, as the terrible song kept playing in the background.

- Are you okay? You look kinda red..? Stupid dust! Keep getting in my friend's face and I'll show you! No, but seriously, are you okay?

Being so close to his best friend colored Kiyotaka's face bright red. He was so focused on trying his best to dance correctly he didn't even notice how silly he looked.

- I-I'm fine! Yes, dust, it's everywhere! Ha-ha!

- You look like a tomato…You are weird. I like that you are weird; you're just like me. I'm glad that we became friends!

The previous statement almost had Taka lose all his balance. He was incredibly glad as well.

- Careful!! It's so awesome that you accepted to dance with me, but please don't get yourself hurt because of it!

- I'm alright! I trust you, Frogeru. I don't think I could get hurt with you here to catch me.

The room was filled with giggles, awkward dance moves and a terrible song. For just a few minutes, the two students could take a break from the terror that awaited them once they left the classroom. There is no certainty whether they'll return there to dance once again, so it's better to cherish the moment while it lasts. Outside the classroom, a spiky brown haired boy, that had made the scandalous fashion choice to wear a blazer over his hoodie, is observing the situation through a window.

- At least they're having fun…!

OKKK thank you SO MUCH for reading!!! I like this a lot more, I think it's my best short story so far :] thank you so much for all your support!!! Im a bit paranoid I might have accidentally copied the plot from someone else without realising, i hope it's just an irrational fear😭 ive had this idea for quite a while, so im happy i finally wrote about it !!!

Warnings. Smut, kinks, female Dom and sub Draco. This was one of my first ever smuts so it's a bit rusty.

Heavy breaths and the sound of damp skin slapping echoed around the room.

"Oh fuck, that's it" He moaned groaning heavily

"Shh, darling boy" I cooed at him letting my heated breath hit his neck "Be quiet for me huh?"

Shifting to lean back palms resting on his thighs, jutting my hips back and fourth at a delicious pace. Its taken time, observation to learn what drives him crazy.

Now I know his body, like the back of my hands equal to the way he has decoded mine.

Picking the right time, just as his lashes flutter gently. I pull out the trump card, bound to tetter him on the edge I clenched my cunt around his well endowed dick. I mean of course he is hung like stallion, he is a lethal weapon, triple threat.

Brains, beauty and blessed. Don't even get me started on how thick he is, I feel full just catching a glimpse of it.

Have mercy on my soul. Satan damn me. This man is the epitome of a pure blood god.

Executing my move, he shudders under me.

Groaning "Yes I'll- oh shit, do that - again"

"What this" I clenched my walls around him one more time.A gasp came from the back of his throat the pitch slightly elevated.

"Yes please" He choked out.

"Needy little pup, aren't you?" I whispered, moving one of my hands from his thigh to run my nails on his bare chiselled chest.

He is already, balls deep practically re arranging organs but seeing him like this fuck, it makes my mind fog, my ovaries burn. Every time I look at him my body betrays me and I'm instantly dripping, womb begging to be fertilised grateful to harvest his seeds.

"Only for you, f-fuck" Turned on is an understatement when that man stutters.

"I told you to be quiet didn't I?" I spit on his chest spreading it with my fingers over his nipples, rubbing and twisting. He moans louder. Little slut he is.

"Tut-tut Well if you can't be quiet ill have to make you .. " I grabbed the back of his hair with the hand once on his chest, making his neck arch and his mouth fall open. Eyes hooded in lust.

Slowly lowering my top half onto him whilst never stopping the movement of my hips "Now your going to behave precious" I smirk at him, slipping my nipple into his mouth. He latches instantly fitting as much of me as he can, flick the harden bud with his tongue. "Suck it, don't you dare pull up for air, until I tell you to switch to the other. You want to please me right?"

He nodded, squinting in concentration. Such a good boy. I never let the eye contact break, he is a sucker for that. Watching with baited breath every facial expressions; every furrow of the brow, his eyes were dropping occasionally rolling back in his skull.

My pace unrelenting, swaying, circling, grinding whilst strategically clenching my walls around him every time I felt him twitch, I just know his tip is raw. Weeping just for me.

I had him, Not just underneath me but under my control for the moment I met him. He would sell his soul to the anti-christ just me see me smile.

The euphoric feeling bubbled in my abdomen, his admirable stimulation of my breasts working wonders. "Switch, switch now" I grunted grinding harder. He removed his mouth grasping the other breast rolling his thumb over it. My head lulled back as I heard him groan deeply, begging pleading for his release.

For some control. Oh sweetheart, that wont happen here, this is my domain.

Feeling a tad bitchy, my hips slowed down almost to a complete stop, earning sighs of annoyance from the breedable blonde. Lifting up only the tip breathing my slit.

Moistened lips hovering his ear, whispering in a sultry tone, "Plead for me puppy, whine for me" taking his ear lobe in my teeth tugging it back, before it flings to its original place.

"Please, please keep moving owner" He was thrashing under me, hips desperately bucking. I chuckled almost sadistically, moving my hand from his thighs to grab his throat spreading my fingers out to grasp him. Tip still barely in me.

Thighs and calf's were burning like a bastard.

No pain, no gain or in this case sweet sexual satisfaction. That's what my parents always said although I don't think this was the scenario they had in mind.

"Do you know how beautiful you would look with a collar around your neck my pet?" I raised a brow at him. Gliding my palm up over his chin to cover his mouth. Whilst simultaneously moving back down his cock enveloping him completely, my arousal thick and warm accommodating him wonderfully. No one got me going like he did.

"You know what comes next puppy, you ready?" He nods manically

"Speak" I hiss. Consent is important when you play this way, verbal is the only way I'll continue.

"Yes, yes I know" Sweat glistening his forehead, strands of angelic white hair sticks to him "I'm ready"

"Good boy" I say running my hands through him dishevelled platinum locks placing a kiss on his forehead. Lifting my hand off his mouth by centimetres watching him take a deep breath.

"Now" I whisper. Slapping it back where it once was, the other palm that lay dormant on his torso joins to pinch his nose between my thumb a index finger.

Restricting his breathing.

I sunk the remaining inches down on him, his back arching off the mattress "Not a sound control it"

He couldn't make a sound even if he wanted to, I feel the sensation building as my pace picks hard and fast, taking, feeling and pleasing every part of him. His length nudging at my g spot had me spiralling.

A strong grip fastened on my hips, helping me move on him never breaking momentum.

Usually I wouldn't let him touch me but seeing his life is in my hands right now ill let it slide

His eyes they are slightly bulging, making me want to ruin him. Draco knows what to do if he wants to stop, however my man's no quitter.

Dick twitching inside he is close, so close. Chest stiff begging for air.

"You going to cum for me huh? Fill me up claiming me from the inside" He nodded slowly his eyes rolling again, fuck that's sexy.

Digits rigid digging deeper into my skin, nails breaking surface. His face is unnaturally red.

"3"

I leaned forward more increasing my speed if that's even possible, kissing down his neck find that sweet spot tucked in the junction of his shoulder. Supple, chilled asking to be marked.

"Fuck-2" I whined my vision is spotted as my high approaches hard and fast taking over my body "Your doing so well darling so well"

Draco's body is shaking, sending secondary vibrations through my desperate figure.

"1" I cry out removing my hands from his lips. Gasping for breath, hungrily trying to re fill his lungs with oxygen. As he settles I capture him in a seering kiss, as he starts bucking to meet my pelvis.

"P-please, please owner please" Fuck he is gorgeous when he is a writhing mess. Wish I could paint him this way.

"Come for me pup, bark for me, growl for me I want to hear you" I mumble against his lips and he does. Cum shots inside of me deep whilst I cover his dick in my thick cream.

Moans and my name fall from his lips, followed by an almost pornographic moan. I ride us both through our highs before removing myself off him, laying on my back watching him scramble up to shove two fingers into me pushing his release as far as he can.

His eyes glinting the biggest smirk on his face; breeding kinks are unmatched.

We both have a colourful sex life we embrace it accepting each others wants and needs. I lift up my arms for him once he removes his fingers from me moving up to lay between my legs, resting his head on my chest.

"You ok?" I ask softly

"I'm more then ok" He chuckles lightly.

"I was thinking" He hums in response, dreamy from my fingers toying with his hair. "As you were so obedient today how do you fancy being in control next time ?" His head shot up "Really, you'll let me?" I nodded smiling at his bewilderment.

"I won't let you down baby trust me" He scatters kisses across my collarbone "Never thought you would darling"

"So, does that mean that you'd like it if I rode your dick slow and passionately, vanilla style?~" Xuan grins too and clicks his tongue as if he was actually thinking about this option. He sighs softly as Teru trails his fingers through his soft hair, making a ponytail out of it using his hand, and he leans into the incubus's touch. "I know you aren't dominant, babe. I read right through you the very first night we met, remember?~ Everything about you screams little unruly brat and very obedient sub. It wasn't even that difficult to overpower you and press you against that wall!" Xuan chuckles at the memory and leans back in to give Teru another kiss.

"If you want to fuck me, you'd have to convince me first. And while I can't guarantee that I'll say yes, you have my permission to try. I am open to hearing you out!~" Daring and challenging, that's how Xuan's tone sounded as he said those words, yet he was shivering slightly under that sensual lick of Teru's tongue over his lips. "If you're willing to top for a special person, then maybe I'd be willing too to bottom for someone just as special, who owns the keys to my heart, you know?" The Chinese continues and locks his lips with Teru's for yet another heated kiss, while he starts grinding against him slowly and lasciviously. "Do you know anyone who fits that description?"

"Uuuhmm…", he made when he heard this, signalizing that he wasn't /fully/ alright with the imagination. "Sounds fine, except of you riding my dick slowly! That'd be torture again after all! But that way you could show me really well who's still in conrol." He winked and laughed then about how Xuan described him. "Yeah, huh? There's a man of contradictions lying underneath you!" The long hair of his Master run through his fingers like silk and he loved this sensation so he kept stroking it. His own hair was wavy and rather a little unruly at times, but Xuan's hair was like the one of…a princess. The thought caused him to smirk. If he would have wanted he could have fought more forcefully for sure - but tasting his defeat had been much more delicious. The memory was forever stored in his mind but in his heart, too. "Is that so? I gotta apply for fucking you in the butt?" He nudged Xuan's nose playfully with his own before he became a little more thoughtful for a second. "My biggest issue with topping is that I often drink so much that I can't get it up anymore and that had led to reeeally traumatizing situations." He cupped Xuan's cheeks now. "But if I'm not wasted and you take good care of my dick then it can make you feel the bestest in the world!" Closing his eyes he responded the kiss just as passionately, his hands wandering to the other's neck and shoulders. "We'd do that for each other then? Fucking awesome, Master. My body is yours after all, so you should absolutely get the biggest pleasure from my dick, too!"

meet cute

I have never had any particular reason to be excited for new years eve. As a high schooler, why would I? However, I live in Texas where shenanigans run amuck and high school isn't high school with out some very memorable shenanigans.

This year, my senior year, finally I had plans! Nothing extraordinary, just me and my best guy pals hanging out, being loud and playing pool. I usually ended up being the only girl with this group but that never bothered me and they always treated me like one of the guys. Well... most of the time it was more like my annoying brothers who would do anything they could to embarrass me that they could and succeed, but still. Tonight was supposed to be different, the teddy bear of the group, Caleb, was going to bring his girlfriend and a friend of his I'd already met that I had been crushing on. That was something fate did not have in mind.

It was me (Marie), Martin and John waiting for everyone else to show up at Martin's. We snacked and talked to Martin's mom for a bit before heading into the garage. I couldn't tell you how long I got my ass handed to me in pool till Caleb arrived. He didn't come with Jennifer and Tom like he was supposed to, he had someone completely different with him that I'd never met nor even heard him mention his name. Brad. Help me God, he was so handsome. He was quiet and shy and hid behind Caleb. I was instantly attracted to his good looks and was thankful I didn't dress all the way down tonight, I had fitted jeans and a low scoop neck shirt that hugged me in all the right spots, I felt beautiful and confident, right until he showed up. Once I saw Brad, I became this giggling moron. He joined in on the round of pool we were playing. No surprise that I lost but I did laugh like a fool everytime I went for a shot. I was so happy when it was over, my nerves were shot, I must have embarrassed the hell out of myself.

When the game was over I sat on the couch with an icy Dr Pepper in hand because I needed something to cool my blushing red face. To my surprise, not long after he sat next to me. Brad smiled and quietly asked "do you go to our school too? I've never seen you". I nervously look at my feet and reply "um no actually I go to a private school close by". Puzzled he turned to me, "then how do you know these guys and why are you the only girl here, are you with one of them?" I laugh, "no no no, Martin dated a friend of mine for a while and well Caleb and John come with being Martin's friend and I guess I do too now. After they broke up I kept up being his friend too, it was a mutual split”. He shook his head in understanding. "Why I'm the only girl", I continued, "well that's probably because I get along with guys better than the girls at my school. They wouldn't be caught dead in a converted garage playing pool with a bunch of nerds but I like it". I smiled looking at my friends, they could be absolute terrors but they were great fun and I never had to pretend to be anything I’m not. He doesn't say anything else, Caleb gave me a knowing look from the other side of the room, Martin came up and convinced Brad to play another round of pool and off he went.

I not so casually walk over to Caleb to get more information about Brad out of him. I tripped over my own feet and ran into one of the bar stools that were out for tonight, graceful I was not. Caleb just laughed and sipped on his drink, "he's single if that's what you're going to ask. He just graduated with Martin this past May, but Brad and I are better friends than they are, so if there’s something you want to know, best to ask me”. I looked over to the game at hand, yeah I see why they aren't close, both swearing the other is right about what's the best engine for whatever car they were talking about, John taking his best friend Martin’s side on it. They are all car junkies, I am not, I admire the cars but technical stuff, I was lost. "That obvious huh" I ask Caleb and he just laughed and smirked down at me, "well you did nearly run over here the second you were alone, I didn't think it was because you missed me". I blushed in embarrassment, the choice of guys at my school were so slim, no one in my class caught my eye. The few did that were a couple years behind me and that wasn't something that happened in small religious private schools. Girls didn't date younger guys but it was acceptable for guys to date younger girls. Dumb stereotypes.

John wanders over and the three of us talk about a lot of nothing and everything all at once. Jessica, Caleb's girlfriend, was sick so she was staying home and Tom would be joining us later after spending time with his family Caleb explained. I left the game room to go to the bathroom for what felt like the millionth time but this time when I came out of the bathroom, Brad was there, and we were alone. He asked if I knew where the snacks were that Martin's mom left out for us, so I showed him where everything was. Shouldn't Martin be doing this? This is his house after all, Brad makes me nervous. So nervous that right now I think I could puke. He smiles at me and his blue eyes seem to sparkle, "sit with me for a little bit? I don't want to eat alone out here". I nod, "sure, why not" as I zombie walk to the couch in the living room. I couldn't help but think what in the world is happening, is trying to flirt with me? Albeit I have had only one boyfriend before, I had no clue when someone was flirting with me let alone if I was flirting. I've been told that I just act extremely awkward when I attempt to flirt and when I'm just joking around it seems like I'm flirting. The TV was on, some random movie that we laughed and made fun of. I don't know when he finished eating but he had been finished for awhile and we were just laughing and talking. I don't even know what he said, but I went to poke/tickle him in response. He went to tickle me back and thus began a tickle war. I got some good shots in but he over took me. Both of us laughing becoming breathless, he's tickled me into retreat. There Brad was, hovering over me laughing, tickling me, while I lay on my back on the couch trying to turn off my tickle as it were, when he leaned down and kissed me softly. I was grinning ear to ear and kissed him back. We did that for several minutes, tickling each other, laughing and kissing each other. His mouth fit perfectly to mine from the first, they were soft but demanding kisses. I knew from just that alone I was quickly going to be addicted to him. He sat me up, holding my face in his hands kissing me one more time before saying "we should go back before they all come looking for us". I smiled outwardly, but inside I frowned, is he going to act like nothing happened so the rest of the guys won't find out? My fears were put to rest after being back with the group, he held my hand and tugged me down on the game room couch next to him, draping one of my legs into his lap. He never let go of my hand and the looks we got were priceless. Tom showed up nearly an hour later, Brad had his arm around me and I knew then whatever Tom and I could have had, had died the moment Brad kissed me. Tom was visibly unhappy and tried to get my attention to no avail. I thought to myself, I wonder if he had not been late, would what was happening between Brad and I still happen? As if he knew my thoughts, he squeezed my hand to get my attention and said “ I’m glad I came tonight. I got to meet you thanks to Caleb inviting me last minute.” I smiled and nodded in agreement, yes, lucky for me indeed.

Brad had me on cloud nine for the rest of the night. All of the guys kept teasing us, but it didn't phase me and Brad just laughed at them. He was always zeroed in on me, no matter where I was in the room, his sight was set on me. After the ball drop, we jumped in the bed of Caleb's truck to throw sparkler bombs at other friends homes. I know, sparkler bombs? Yes indeed, we taped up a bunch of sparklers together and then lit them up. Instead of a pretty light show we got a decent BOOM sound. The entire time in the back of the truck Brad tried to keep me warm since I misjudged how heavy of a jacket I really needed. His blue eyes and his tight hold spoke so much more than words ever could. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I have had plenty of crushes before, my first and only boyfriend was a 2 year relationship, I may not have had a lot of experience before but I knew I was going to fall head over heels for him. When we got back to Martin’s house, we all hung out for a little bit longer and played another round of doubles at pool. I knew I needed to get home, so I started to say my goodbyes to the group. Brad decided he was going to leave too and walked me out to my car. When outside, he suddenly became this shy boy in front of me again, unsure of what to say. He held my hand and kissed me a few more times. He gave me his number and I gave him mine. He didn’t have a cell phone at the time but he did have his own phone line in his room at this house. Knowing my curfew was very quickly approaching, I told him I really had to go. He held my face with both hands and gently rubbed his thumb across my cheek. Brad for the last time of the night, but the very first time for the year, tilted his head to kiss me and as he did I wrapped my arms around his waist wanting to savor every second and burn it into memory. He released me, smirked at me, telling me good bye for the millionth time. I got in my car reluctantly and drove away. When I got home, I knew that sleeping wasn’t an option, my mind was in overdrive, but also that I had no idea when I would see Brad again. That made me anxious not knowing if I’d ever see or speak to him again, but I happy knowing if I did, it would be amazing.
