💭childhood friends to lovers (100 followers special)

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“some things never change, huh?” you heard jeongin’s voice coming from the porch. you looked up to see him approaching you, the sun beginning to set in the background. 
jeongin and you were inseparable for as long as you could remember. he lived across the street and you always spent time together thanks to your parents being really good friends. you played almost every day, hanging out in your backyard or in his house, never getting tired of each other. as children, you knew all your secrets and fears, you trusted each other with your lives and swore you were never going to grow apart. 
but time verified your friendship and you failed to maintain such a tight bond. you didn’t have any arguments, you just simply started to drift apart in high school. jeongin started to spend less and less time with you, too caught up with his new friends. you tried to fight for your friendship, you believed that not everything was lost, but every time you wanted to talk to him, he would brush you off and leave without a word. and even though you weren’t as close as before anymore, one day you noticed you were staring a bit too much at jeongin, admiring him from afar. he always seemed so happy with his group of friends, hanging out with them every day after school and attending parties with them. and even if you tried to be happy for him you couldn’t stop the jealousy spreading through your body. because you were supposed to do these things with him, you were supposed to stay friends. maybe even more than friends, you thought to yourself one day. but then you completely parted ways, going to college and having absolutely no clue what was going on with each other.
until now. your parents decided to invite jeongin's family for dinner, since they haven't properly talked with his parents in years. with that, they thought that it would be a great idea for you and jeongin to reconnect and spend some time together, just like you used to as kids.
"you still use the same swing," jeongin continued, sitting next to you on the swing set. you looked at him, kind of confused and he clarified. "you always used the one on the left. you claimed it can go higher." you scoffed at his words. “because it does go higher,” you giggled and so did jeongin. then the silence settled between you two and you just sat there, trying to gather thoughts and actually start a proper conversation. you wanted to ask him so many things - what do you major in at college? are you dating anyone? why did you move away from me without a word? 
“how have you been lately?” it was jeongin who broke the silence first, not looking at you. his voice was faint, almost unsure, as if he was afraid. you thought about your response for a moment and then spoke softly, “i’m fine, just kind of tired of everything.” jeongin nodded, as if he was trying to say me too. “i missed you,” he then whispered and it made you finally look up at him. the air between you got thicker, your heart was racing and you didn’t know if you were mad at him or relieved that he missed you just as you missed him. “then why didn’t you call me? or message me? you could’ve done anything, i don’t understand why you didn’t,” you said eventually, too tired to even try to lie and tell him “oh i missed you too, we should totally forget about all those years we didn’t spend together and catch up”. you needed some kind of explanation. jeongin sighed loudly at your words. “i- i don’t know… i guess i was afraid?” he responded, though it sounded more like a question rather than a statement. “afraid of what?” you asked, trying to get him speaking. he started this whole i missed you conversation and now he needed to tell you everything if he wanted to restore your relationship.
jeongin was silent, he didn’t respond to your question and you started to grow impatient. “i know that… when people grow up they tend to part their ways, it’s normal and it happened to us. what i didn’t like is that you suddenly started treating me like air when i tried to talk to you and now you come back and say you missed me,” you hissed through clenched teeth and got up from the swing. “well, guess what, i missed you too, but i actually made an effort to save this friendship while you decided to completely ignore me,” you continued and felt jeongin’s fingers wrap around your wrist. “yn, i-” “i just think it’s unfair, because you come here from nowhere, saying you missed me, when it’s me who sent you birthday wishes every year, it's me who left all those christmas gifts for you in your parents’ house and it’s me who offered meeting up a few times and all those times you ignored me, you never responded, you never said a stupid thank you, you just left me and the worst thing is that i still like you and i still want to be with you and-” you stopped, suddenly aware that you may have confessed a bit too much. you felt your cheeks grow warmer and the tears started to wail in your eyes. you desperately tried to blink them away, not wanting jeongin to see you crying, but he already got up and stood right in front of you. he wiped the single tear from your face that managed to fall down and hugged you tightly. you wanted to escape his embrace at first, but then you simply gave up and let yourself cry into his chest. you wanted to remember this moment, in case you ruined everything and your friendship was lost. 
“i’m really sorry,” jeongin whispered into your hair. “i was acting like an asshole, i- i was so scared to admit that you’re more than a friend to me that i decided to push you away. and i know it's a shitty explanation and i understand if you don’t forgive me, but i’m genuinely sorry for my behaviour,” he continued, his voice unstable. you pulled away a bit to look him in the eyes. more than a friend? “you did act like an asshole, i must admit,” you started slowly, wiping your eyes. “and it hurt me, it still hurts, but… i wanna give you a chance, because i like you a bit too much and- and i’m just tired of this whole situation,” you mumbled and hugged him again to hide your rosy cheeks. jeongin started gently stroking your head, rocking you side to side. “i’ve never purposefully meant to hurt you but i know i have and i want you to know i’ll do anything to atone for my actions.” you giggled at his serious tone and pulled away once again. “anything?” you asked him, your gaze wandered between his eyes and his lips. “anything.” “then kiss me,” you whispered, leaning closer and closer to him with every passing second. “with pleasure,” he responded and captured your lips in a soft kiss. not everything was said and you both knew you were in for a serious conversation, but in that moment your heart was finally full after so many years of longing and you thought that it was more than enough for then.

Another Bad Date
Bradley Rooster Bradshaw x Reader
A/N: I haven't proof read this so it's probably terrible but here's a fluffy meet cute.
Summary: Reader meets Rooster
Tumblr media
The date starts worse than you were imagining... Tyler has already: ordered food for you, got you an alcohol free drink after you said you wanted a gin and tonic, commented on your figure and checked someone out across the room. You've not even been here 30 minutes and you need a reason to leave.
Excusing yourself to the ladies room, you take your bag to go text your best friend for help.
Scrolling quickly to find her name on WhatsApp you type your message:
I need an excuse to leave a date early
Phoenix is across town in the hard deck when her phone pings with the text message. Hangman comes up behind her to give her a beer but reads the text over her shoulder.
"Family member was in an accident; Friend is having a crisis; my ex just text me; I'm sick; I'm needed at work" he reels off his answers, placing the beer in her free hand. Phoenix gives him a look of disapproval in response.
"Don't read my texts Bagman!" She orders him.
"What does your friend look like, If she's hot I'll go be the crazy ex." Hangman winks at Phoenix.
"Absolutely not! It's Y/N, she's not your type and I'm not saving her from a shit date by pushing her in your direction." She states rolling her eyes as he smirks.
Nat this is urgent help me. You text again to chase up her answer, needing a response as soon as possible lest Tyler thinks you've got some form of gastrointestinal problem.
Sighing at her slow typing you exit the bathroom and collide straight into a tall brunette guy, dropping your phone in the process. "Shit, sorry." You instantly start apologising as he stabilises you, placing his hands on both of your shoulders.
"Are you good?" He asks moving his hands down your arms slightly, leaving goosebumps in their wake as you nod. "Yeah, are you?" You respond as he reaches down to grab your phone. He laughs slightly at your concern and says, "I'm bigger than I look, I think I can take it."
"You know Phoenix?" He queries, unable to stop himself looking at the screen as he hands your phone back over to you, enlarged on the contact photo of her from how you were holding it before you dropped it. "Yeah, I met Nat when she was in flight school. Guessing you're an aviator too?" You respond glancing him up and down to assess the outfit - not really something her associates would be caught dead in but he's toned and has got expensive sunglasses attached to his Hawaiian shirt so it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities.
He nods with a smile blossoming on his face. "Yes I am. I haven't seen you around before; I wouldn't forget that face." He remarks making you blush slightly.
"What do you do?" He asks unsure of whether you're in the Navy or know Phoenix through something else.
"I'm definitely not a pilot, as you can see I have zero hand eye coordination. I work for the government." You say with a giggle, not really telling him anything about your job.
"Ooh pretty and smart." He doesn't register himself thinking aloud until it is too late.
"What brings you to fighter town, this is literally the middle of nowhere." he remarks. You smirk slightly because he's right.
"Work asked me to come here for a bit... I live in Washington so not really used to having so little to do here." You comment.
"Do you want to get out of here and grab a drink?" He asks. You look between him and the table where your date is sat.
"Sorry if that's too forward, I haven't asked anyone out in ages... For all I know you're here with someone, there's no hard feelings if you say no." He waffles, nervous talking.
Your phone pings with a text presumably Nat responding to you.
"You're cute, I think I could make that happen." You say to the beautiful stranger whose name you're still unsure of.
You glance down at your phone to see a list of excuses signed off by Hangman. You roll your eyes having met and disliked Jake from the offset but his list gets so obscure by the end that you have to laugh.
"Boyfriend?" He raises an eyebrow, suddenly concerned that you are laughing at your phone.
"No but I am here with someone... I was literally just texting Nat for excuses to get out of the tinder date from hell, but it looks like Hangman has taken her phone judging by the unhinged message he just sent me." you explain the situation.
"He wants me to tell this guy that I've got to go because my fish drowned." you state in utter disbelief at Jake's list of excuses. The brunette chuckles across from you, and gives you such an animated smile that you feel your heart flutter in your chest.
"Give me two minutes to go let him down then we can leave." You state looking up from your phone and into his honey brown eyes.
"Okay, I'll go tell my friends that I am abandoning them then we can figure out where to go?" He questions raising his eyebrows. You nod in agreement and temporarily part ways.
*
Tyler has a momentary meltdown at you saying this is not going to work out and decides to start shouting at you from across the table. Bradley is back by your side in under a minute backing you up.
Once he's spoke Tyler down he grabs your hand and pulls your out of the restaurant.
"Thank you." You say squeezing his hand.
"No need to thank me, that guy was an asshole." he says making me smile slightly.
"Maybe if I went with the fish excuse he wouldn't have been so pissy." You mutter making him giggle.
Your phone pings with another text, Hangman still clearly has Nat's phone and has sent you a photo of your best friend head down on a bar. You smile at the photo, knowing he's gentleman enough to take her home and make sure she's okay.
You turns the phone around so Mr Hawaiian shirt can see what you're giggling at. "Ooh that looks messy! Thank god we don't have an early start tomorrow" He says sarcastically.
You're so glad that you don't have to deal with their kind of early starts... Morning people are unhinged.
"Do you want to go to the hard deck and meet up with them or should we go get food?" you ask him.
"Definitely food!!" He responds excitedly jumping.
"Great that's the right answer! Where's good around here?" you look to him for an answer. He looks around thinking for a minute.
"Nowhere in our immediately vicinity stands out but there's a really good place like 30 minutes away, they make a mean Hamburger." He exclaims.
You nod, "That sounds perfect, lead the way!"
"Whose car are we going in?" He asks me.
"I walked here from my hotel, so yours." I answer. I'm not afraid he's going to kill me because he just saved by life from my incel of a date who seemingly hates women, and I can see his dogtags under his shirt, so I know he's telling the truth about knowing Phoenix. That instantly put me at ease because she is an amazing judge of character.
"Where were you from before Washington, you sound English?" Bradshaw remarks.
"Yeah, I grew up over there in a tiny town in the Midlands... I moved here after uni." you answer.
"What did you study?" He asks walking alongside you to wherever he's parked.
"Pol sci and international relations." You respond.
You two mindlessly talk about your lives and what got you into your careers as you continue to walk to his car.
After what feels like twenty minutes of walking you stop and turn towards him. "Are you really shite at parking or something?" you question with a smirk held on your face.
He starts laughing.
"I got a lift here, I'm parked at my place." He responds grinning ear to ear. "It's just around the corner." He adds as you give him a look of disbelief.
You're watching him intently as you round the corner, noticing the sudden purpose in his step as he walks towards not a car but the front door to his apartment.
"I feel like I was warned about stranger danger." You say meeting his eye as you cross the threshold. The corner of his mouth lifts slightly into a smirk.
"You also agreed a burger in a place thirty minutes away was a good idea, so welcome to the only place that's good around here." He says leading you into his kitchen.
"Ah... Very smooth." You say as he swings open a cupboard door and raises two bottles in what you presumed was going to be a silent question: wine or gin.
"I can offer you some uncomfortably warm wine or gin... but I'm not sure if I have tonic?" he says raising his eyebrows, tone of voice implying he's asking you if he has tonic water somewhere.
"Wow, I can see why this is your favourite place around here. I bet the reviews are glowing." You tease him. Bradley doesn't verbalise the butterflies that break out in his stomach in response to your wink.
He laughs about to feel guilty for bringing you back here to his limited drinks options when he opens a different cupboard and pulls out a single can of tonic.
"Ah there we go - one of us can enjoy our evening." He says making you giggle.
He raises both again at your lack of a definitive answer.
"I want the gin but I feel bad that you only have one tiny tonic water... If you want that I'm good to go on the warm wine front." You respond and he gives you an unreadable look that you don't recognise.
"What was that look?" You whisper feeling oddly nervous at how good looking this man is.
"What look?" He whispers back, the look no longer visible on his face. His eyes are squinting, laughter lines visible on his face as he stares back at you full of a giddy playful energy.
You watch in silent amazement as he pours your drink without breaking your eye contact. You know without tonight going any further, without even knowing his name - this is not a one time thing.

Aidlyn Oneshot
Transferring my fics to this blog
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ashlyn couldn’t stay awake in school. Her head kept dropping to her desk like she was made of metal and the table was a magnet. 
These past few months of dealing with this bullshit nightmare world, she had never been so exhausted. 
During lunch, she sat with the others. They didn’t look much better. Well, except Aiden, of course. She wondered if he chugged energy drinks or if he was just always like this. She really hoped it was the former, because the idea of him always managing to be like this pissed her off. 
“Ok, so..” Tyler said, pinching his brow. “We need to get more ammo.. Ashlyn, your dad got that covered?”
She simply nodded in response before she sighed and rubbed her head and stood up. “I’m gonna go get another bottle of water..” she mumbled. 
Aiden also got up. “I will too!” He said happily. 
She scowled at him, but she was too tired to say anything. Things had been a little.. strange between the two of them after Aiden had saved her from that phantom on the rooftop. He had been so much softer and.. touchy (well, he was already very touchy, but he seemed to have amped it up to 11). And with the whole ‘Tyler on the hospital’ thing, they hadn’t really had anytime to fully process that night, except for that one time they talked and Aiden had reached out to touch her face, which was very weird to her. She didn’t really know how to act around him now. 
She wanted to still hate him, but she knew that he had a soft spot, and that made him more.. endearing. Ugh.. she did not want to think of Aiden like that..
She grabbed a bottled water from the school concession stand. Aiden did not. 
“Aren’t you going to get a water?” She asked him hoarsely. 
“Hmmm.. I’m not thirsty!” He said cheerfully. 
She stared at him, wanting to thump his forehead. But she decided he wasn’t worth the effort. 
“Then why did you follow me here?” She grumbled. 
He glanced at her and then looked around and then back at her. “Come with me.”
She was about to object, but she didn’t get the chance as he walked ahead of her. 
Part of her was just wanting to ignore him and walk back to the table. But she found herself following him. They entered a cleared out hallway, no students around. 
“What is it?” She asked. 
He opened a locker, his locker, and pulled out a can of coffee. 
“I snuck out during 3rd period to get you this!” He said with a jovial smile. 
She was caught off guard. She took the coffee, happy it wasn’t an energy drink (she hates those things). 
It was a black coffee too. Aiden must know she hates all that sweetener. 
“But.. why?”
He laughed and scratched his head. “Because you’ve looked absolutely dead. Well, more dead than you usually do, haha!”
She nearly crushed the can in her hands. 
He laughed and quickly shook his head. “Sorry, sorry! Nooooot funny.”
The two stood there for a moment, unsure of what to say. 
“Hey, um..” he started. “I just want you to know.. you’re doing great..”
She’s surprised by his sudden soft attitude. He used to rarely ever be like this.. so genuine. Then again, she rarely is ever, so maybe she’s a tad jealous that it’s been getting easier for him..
She opened the coffee can and hesitated to respond. She was unsure of what to say. “Thank you”? “Well, I try”? “I know I am”?
She bit her lip, thinking, before blurting out “It’s just my job as the leader..”
He seems surprised and she silently cursed to herself for just speaking without thinking. 
He shook his head. “I didn’t mean in the dream world. I think you already know you’re amazing there. I mean.. in our day to day lives..”
“Hm..?”
He hesitated before slapping on that normal smile of his. Fake and creepy. 
“Forget about it! Cmon, the others are probably wondering what’s taking us so long!”
He walked ahead of her. She didn’t follow immediately. She stared at the coffee and clutched it in her hands. 
Why is this so hard for me? It seems easier for him..
But.. little did Ashlyn know that Aiden was just as clueless about friendship as she was. 
————————————————————
Aiden walked back to the lunch table, quietly scolding himself. 
Why can’t you just say what you’re thinking?! All these words I want to say are so much easier to say in my head!
He reached the table and everyone looked at him curiously. 
“Where’s Ashlyn?” Taylor asked. 
“She’s coming,” he said, resting his chin on his hand. 
And sure enough, Ashlyn arrived, taking her spot again. 
“What took you guys so long?” Tyler asked. 
“Just bestie things!” Aiden said happily. He was glad he was so good at concealing his feelings and that no one knew how absolutely embarrassed he was about the interaction he just had with his crush. 
Ashlyn stared at him with mild contempt before turning away from the others to drink her coffee. 
He really wished he could eloquently say what he thought. 
He wanted to tell her he liked that way her red hair fell into her face when she turned away during an awkward situation. He wanted to tell her he thought her super hearing was super rad, but how he also was willing to take her to a quiet place if it got too overwhelming. He wanted to tell her he thought it was badass how she could smash things with a single kick. 
But most of all..
He wanted to tell her she wasn’t alone. 
And after the Tyler incident, she’s seemed even more closed off and guilt ridden than usual. 
He sighed. His friends turned to him, wondering what’s got him so daydreamy. He just smiled at them and they decided to forget it. 
Well..
Maybe one day he could find the words. 
But it certainly won’t be anytime soon. 
Ashlyn’s got her own problems to worry about. 
So, he’ll just stand next to her and support her throughout everything. Even if she wants to do it all alone. 
After all… he can’t let his best friend carry so much on her shoulders!

Prompt number 13 for the dialogue prompts pls?
Thanks for the prompt! #13 “I dare you to kiss me.”
-
It starts out, as most things recently do for Steve, with Dustin. He can't even remember what it was Dustin had even wanted him to do. Dustin had said 'I bet you won't do it' and Steve had replied 'you aren't old enough to gamble' and Dustin returned with 'then I dare you.'
And. Well.
He couldn't back down from a dare, could he?
It becomes a Thing. At first, it's just Dustin daring him to do small, easily achievable things (dare you to give me the bag of chips, dare you to pick me up from Hellfire, dare you to slap the top of the next door frame you walk through) but where Steve is, Robin isn't far behind. It doesn't take long for her to start in on it. (Dare you to take me to the diner for lunch, dare you to be on rewind duty today, dare you to have a sleepover with me at your place.)
It spreads beyond them eventually.
"I dare you to try and beat an actual state championship basketball player," Lucas says with a playful grin, ducking out of Steve's grasp even as Steve laughs out a, "I'll show you state championship!"
"I dare you to sit in on a Dungeons and Dragons session," Will says with a cheeky grin, flashing a wink at Dustin, who is fist pumping behind Steve's back because Steve says yes.
"I dare you to be less annoying," Mike says, swatting Steve's hands away from where he was ruffling Mike's hair, sat between Mike and Dustin at said session. Steve rolls his eyes but turns to bug Dustin instead.
It was a joy watching the Party teach El what dares were. Steve forgets, sometimes, that El is still new to most of the things he takes for granted everyday.
Nancy and Jonathan don't really join in on daring Steve to do things, but he's caught Jonathan daring the kids or Argyle to do silly things. Argyle, who had returned to California to finish school but returned to Hawkins almost as soon as the school year ended, loved to join in, though.
Eddie is the last one to join in the Dare Game. It doesn't take Steve long to realize it's because Eddie doesn't know if he's allowed to. Not in a I'm-not-sure-we're-friends way they'd already worked through, but in a I-thought-this-was-an-old-inside-joke way.
Steve assures him it's a recent development. A grab at being silly kids a little while longer now that the Upside Down can't come and ruin anymore childhoods.
"C'mon," Steve grins at him, "I dare you to touch your toes."
Eddie rolls his eyes in response but drops down into sitting cross-legged on the floor, one finger tip poking at the end of his socks. It's cheating but Steve will take a win where he can. Especially since Eddie says, "I dare you to sit down and relax for once in your fucking life."
It's so silly, this little game of I Dare You they've started but it's also wonderful to watch the kids be kids even though they're all onto 15 or 16 now, and only getting older.
The best part of the game is that it's playable anywhere. I dare you to beat my high score is heard often at the arcade. It's also hilarious to see what terrible movies end up at movie night because someone was dared to watch an awful one. The amount of times they've all had to watch Crimewave should be considered torture, honestly.
Steve's favorite part of the game, though, is when the kids dare Eddie to do things. No dare is too ridiculous, silly, or embarrassing for Eddie, it seems. No ones goal is to embarrass each other, Steve's sure, but he also knows that he wouldn't be willing to attempt a cartwheel in the middle of the parking lot in front of the grocery store. Especially since it turns out, Eddie can't do a cartwheel and just kind of flops onto the ground in a heap. Reflexively, Steve took a step forward to check on him but Eddie burst out in laughter quickly and when Eddie laughs it doesn't take long for everyone to join.
He's got an infectious laugh.
He watches Eddie fail at cartwheels, and succeed at climbing trees like a damn squirrel. Eddie's jumped out of swings and off of slides the few times they've gone to the park. Recited the monologue Romeo gives before he drinks the poison (from memory) before pretending to stab himself and fall backwards into Steve's pool (the dare had been to dramatically fall into the pool).
Watching Eddie makes him feel light in a way Steve doesn't think he's ever felt. He's always watching, even when Eddie catches him looking. Steve just meets his eye and gives him a fond smile. Eddie smiles back.
The summer goes on. The dares lessen, the novelty of the game never really fading, but certainly mellowing.
The pool dare, when Eddie'd monologued Shakespeare, had been Steve's favorite dare until the end of summer came.
Steve and Eddie had been dancing around each other, and Eddie, the braver of the two it seemed, puts and end to their misery. It's just Eddie and Steve laying in the grass of the Harrington's backyard, watching the stars come out.
It's as simple as Eddie rolling onto his side beside Steve, propping himself up on an elbow and whispering, "I dare you to kiss me."
And. Well.
He can't back down from a dare, can he?

jisung: seatmates to lovers
Tumblr media
Word count: 1.4k
Warnings: none :)
Notes: this is Jisung's part of 'nct dream as love tropes', enjoy!
Tumblr media
“The two of you at the back!” Your teacher’s voice rang through the classroom and both Jisung and you immediately stopped your bickering. “S-sorry,” Jisung manages to mutter out before your teacher finally continues with class. You couldn’t help but chuckle once her attention wasn’t on the two of you and Jisung nudged you so you’d stop before he starts laughing too. 
Initially, Chenle was the one who used to sit with Jisung but your homeroom teacher made you switch with Chenle because they won’t stop talking. It worked at first since you and Jisung weren’t exactly friends, all you knew about the guy was his name and the fact that he was in the dance club. Jisung was shy so he took a while to warm up to you. But it helped that you were easy-going and would offer him help whenever it was needed. 
Jisung was always grateful to you though. Because on top of the dance club, he takes professional dancing classes outside of school and even after all that, loves to game till late at night and hence would constantly fall asleep in classes. But even when teachers try to call him out during class for it, Jisung knows you got his back. 
“Park Jisung!” Jisung shoots awake and stares back at the teacher, mentally still processing which class he’s in. “What’s the answer for question 5?” “Uh… oh, question 5?” You tap his knee under the table and he glances at you, you push your worksheet slowly over to his side to show him the answer before he answers. “Good… please just try to stay awake. It’s the third time I caught you this week” “Yep, sorry” Jisung would turn to mumble a soft “thank you” before he tries his best to stay awake, only to start nodding off again within minutes. 
This gratitude was largely reciprocated because you often skip lunch to do work or just take a nap. It’s not that you don’t eat well because you do. But when lunchtime comes, you’re not necessarily hungry yet and you lack the appetite to stomach a full meal. So you decided to spend your time more wisely by revising or resting and only eating after the school day ends when you would usually be able to treat yourself to a full meal. Jisung notices this pretty quickly once you two became seatmates and would casually buy snacks to share with you. Initially, you thought Jisung just enjoyed snacking, which he does. But overtime, Jisung deliberately buys two of everything he gets so you can eat more for yourself. 
The real turning point in your friendship happened when Jisung got ditched by Chenle for their malatang ‘date’. “Chenle! You promised!” “I’ll go with you tomorrow! I really want to play basketball with Mark today.” “Can’t believe you’re ditching me for basketball, that you play 7 days a week!” “Tomorrow, tomorrow. I promise!” Jisung huffs and mutters a “Forget it” before turning to you. You’re just watching them bicker while sipping on the carton of milk Jisung got you, trying not to laugh at their childish banter. “Y/n, do you like malatang?” “I’ve never tried it.” Your response causes Jisung’s eyes to widen, expressing his disbelief. “You have to! Do you want to come with me after school today?” You have nothing after school today so you agreed and Jisung cheers, rubbing it into Chenle’s face about how he has been replaced.
Jisung and you really got close after that. The two of you were really different but not in a bad way. You were interested in many similar things, like music, games and theories about the universe and the unknown. But had very diverse opinions on them. Jisung thought you were the most interesting person ever and genuinely could listen to you for days. You thought Jisung was a lot more knowledgeable than he thinks himself to be. All his opinions were backed with actual evidence, where he pulls them out from, you have no idea. You thought he was really interesting too. Moreover, the two of you share a really similar sense of humour that had you two laughing so hard, while everyone else would just wonder what exactly was so funny. 
Overtime, this becomes a tradition. Every Tuesday you and Jisung would have lunch together and more often than not, it’s malatang. Even the kind lady who tends the mala store expects you two every week now. Always greeting you two with a smile and a confirmation of “Table for two right?” before leading you into the store. 
However, you fell sick this week and you texted to tell Jisung you would probably miss school for a few days. Asking him to very kindly not fall asleep during classes and take notes for you. And also to apologise for not being able to eat malatang with him this week. Jisung can’t help but laugh in disbelief at your texts, it wasn’t even your fault that you’re sick. And to his surprise, taking notes down during classes isn’t actually that difficult. Maybe it’s because he wants to make sure he does a good job for you. He worries you won’t be able to read his words, since his friends always made fun of his messy handwriting. So he tried really hard to write carefully and clearly. 
After class, Jisung still went down to the mala store to have lunch but with Chenle this time. “Oh? Table for two?” The lady asked, trying to hide the slight surprise when she saw Chenle instead of you. After picking the ingredients, Jisung and Chenle went back to the table to wait for the malatang to be served. When the kind lady came to serve the malatang, she shyly asked, “Don’t mind me being nosy… but did something happen? Where’s your girlfriend?” 
Upon hearing that, Jisung chokes on air and Chenle is full on laughing at him. “S-she’s not my girlfriend,” Jisung stutters and he knows he’s blushing because he feels like his cheeks are on fire. “His girlfriend is sick, so I had to take over~” Chenle chimes in when Jisung fails to answer the question. The kind lady nodded in understanding, trying to hold back her laughter at Jisung’s flustered state, she simply greeted them, “Enjoy your food” and walked away. 
“Stop laughing, that was so embarrassing!” Jisung whines when Chenle can’t seem to stop mocking him, his face red from laughter as tears threaten to escape. “You were so flustered, I-I can’t. Be honest, do you like her?” Jisung looks down and stays silent, busying himself with eating. “Oh my god… YOU DO DON’T YOU? YOU LIKE Y/N! I KNEW IT i-” “SHUT UP, do you need to tell the whole world?” “You have to tell her” “NO way!” “You have to” “Why?” “I’m sure she likes you too” “No she doesn’t” “No normal girl will make time to eat malatang with you every Tuesday after sitting beside you 5 days a week, even I would be too sick of you to do that” “HEY that’s mean!” 
Jisung got convinced. But he can’t bring himself to tell you face to face. “Just text her,” was Chenle’s solution. 
[5:02pm] ji: [image of malatang] 
[5:02pm] ji: ended up eating malatang with chenle 
[5:03pm] you: im craving it so badly :( 
[5:03pm] you: sorry i couldn’t go with you, hope it was still good 
[5:03pm] ji: stop apologising, just get well quickly!
[5:03pm] ji: wasn’t as fun as it usually is because chenle pisses me off
[5:04pm] you: hahah alrighty, i’ll be back soon ji 
[5:04pm] you: will have our usual malatang run next week!
[5:04pm] ji: the nice lady asked about you haha
[5:04pm] you: aw :’) really? what did she say?
[5:05pm] ji: she asked me what happened to my girlfriend…
[5:05pm] you: oh
[5:05pm] you: what did you say? 
[5:07pm] ji: i told her you’re sick 
[5:07pm] ji: so i got another friend to come today
[5:10pm] y/n is typing… 
Jisung wants to bury himself six feet under. Why did he take Chenle’s advice? He should have never done this. Jisung wants to cry, he’s about to reply that he was joking when his phone dings beside him. He has never fumbled with his phone so hard and he’s so glad he was alone in his room right now because he is so embarrassed. 
[5:10pm] you: if you want me to be your girlfriend…
[5:10pm] you: shouldn’t you at least ask me first? 
Jisung is about to die from how fast his heart is beating. He had to lightly hit his chest a few times to make sure he wasn’t just hallucinating. His cheeks ache from smiling, your reply had him stomping his feet in excitement. 
[5:12pm] ji: so get well soon, i’ll ask you properly when you’re back :)

a/n : I got a nintendo switch... now what? anyways REI!?!?!??!?!?@?@8#?@8#)@,-^(2?@ if my man don't look like him, I don't want him jk
「 s. rei x gn reader 」
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------
" when we grow up, you'll marry me right? " the young yet oldest sakuma asked.
" of course, " replied the other. his smile was so blinding when you agreed.
time flew by as quickly as that question was told. heck, after moving away and trying to make a living after all those graduations. rei was a big shot idol. you were nothing as special to compare, just a little business worker working in an office as you've always wished for when you were younger. ( me fr )
it's been a good three months since you moved into your new apartment. you're in your early twenties, your parents have been asking you to find a lover to settle down after a while and you know, those family making and all. you would if rei, the man you promised was the one.
it was childish to believe your play pretend husband when you were younger was the man you'd marry right now. he was a big shot idol, you were nothing as special to compare. you've never been in his life after you moved away back when you both were in your first years of middle school. no conversations shared, no meet ups either.
you've never attended any of his concerts, too afraid he'll forget you and make you an idiot for asking all sorts of silly questions about when you both were younger. his fans would definitely cook you alive for being as delulu as them.
going home later than usual today at your work. you were about to press the elevator when a taller built man, with long raven black hair, pressed the button before you. as you both went in, you were the first to press the button to your floor. you didn't bother to look at the male in the elevator but looking as he didn't press any other buttons. it was safe to assume he lives around your floor.
as the elevator stopped at your floor, you quickly left but the man was walking suspiciously behind you. was this a stalker? no way! you speedwalk to your home as the male starts to pick up his pace too. stopping in front of your door, you rummage through your bag for your keys as the male stood infront of the door next to you.
he starts knocking on the door... " kaoru! let me in, come on. let's play~ "
you couldn't help but turn to look at the suspicious man as kaoru opens his door for him. he too, caught on and starred at you as kaoru looks at rei before turning his head to look at you too.
" ah! Good evening, lovely y/n~ it's rather late for you to come home, no? " kaoru questions playfully as you sigh. right, he's babysitting his sister's home till she's back from vacation in three weeks time.
it's only the first week and he's annoying already. always ready to strike up a conversation with you as you don't seem like a fan of his or undead, hell you don't look like you're interested in idols either. rei ponders as both male await for your answer.
" well... its just overtime work and I'm finally home... I'm tired so I'll just head in and sleep, dont stay up too late hakaze or you'll get wrinkles, which will make you lose fans as you become ugly. " he can't help but laugh at your response, making rei follow along with the laughter.
" y/n l/n? " the suspicious man calls as you stop turning your keys to look back over at kaoru side.
kaoru looks over at his friend, how does he know your full name? it took him months to get your name, even his sister wasn't allowed to tell him your name as you told her not to.
" yes, rei sakuma? " you replied.
" ah so you do remember, my dear. fufufu~ " he walks over and engulfs you in a hug as kaoru watches with confusion swirling everywhere.
" how could i not? I rejected the love confessions I received for your promise. I missed you so much, " you confessed as rei smiles fondly at your honesty. he misses you too.
" of course I didn't forget the promise, would you still marry me? for real, this time. " tears welled up at your eyes as you say yes.
he was your childhood sweetheart and you were his. both wanting to grow old as fast as possible to make your promise come true. the wait is finally over, soon he'll slide a ring over your ring finger and soon you'll both be living in a house that's a little too big for two people.

Hey, Pompom! I know you're not very good with angst, but can I get the ArTw men who were so busy that they forgot MC's birthday? This is more of an angst with a happy ending.
MC was just in their best outfit, waiting for the special surprise from the LI for their birthday. But after waiting for so long and realizing they forgot, MC cried in their bedroom. As they cried, the LI walked in on them crying. And after some apologies and talking, they make up for the missed birthday the next day. That's all, thank you and goodnight! <33
Ohhh shittt that's sad (AND ONE DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY TOO) Okay we can do this lmao
When the boys forgot Summoner's birthday
Arcturus
Another banquet was coming up, so he was really busy the whole day
Everyone kept dragging him around to do work, so he didn't even get time to talk to you
You tried to talk to him in those little moments where he wasn't moving around, but he brushed you off and went back to work
He went to go find you when you didn't show up for the banquet that night, and he saw you crying in your room
It suddenly occurred to him what he had forgot, he could have sworn something was bugging him throughout the day
He felt so bad ;(
He immediately ran up to hug you and started apologising profusely
He didn't mean to forget, sorry Summoner :(
You both cuddled for the rest of the night as an apology
He spent the rest of the following day with you, doing whatever you want to compensate for the time you both missed yesterday
He did bring you to the greenhouse to have a small walk, and so that he can show you his plants
Baked a little cake together to share
The 2 of you stayed up again to watch the stars together on the field outside the Neb Aula while Arkcy knitted a little beanie for you
"Happy belated birthday, Summoner. Love you &lt;;3"
Spica
Do I even need to explain, this man is busy 25/8
But today he was particularly busy (isn't he always though?) so he was too caught up in paperwork to talk to you
You did try to text, but he left you on delivered
Well he left everyone on delivered, but it still hurt that he didn't answer you anyways
It was only until he finally picked up his stella tab and checked the messages then he realised
He put down all his work and rushed to the Neb Aula, and to your room, where he found you in tears
Was incredibly guilty for not remembering your birthday
He sat by your side as he apologised, slowly lulling you to sleep, stroking your hair as his gentle voice coaxed you to sleep
He left once you fell asleep, where he rushed back to his office to finish as much work as possible, so that he can have more free time to spend with you tomorrow
Not a single paper was touched the very next day, his beloved Summoner would always come first
He brought you out to a museum, then to do whatever you wanted for the rest of the day
Got you a personalised necklace, and put it on for you
You 2 shared a little cupcake at a cafe
"You never fail to make me happy, Summoner. Happy belated birthday."
Alpheratz
Why would Alpheratz be busy? He literally runs away from responsibility (and Spica)
Unfortunately, this was not one of those days where he would be free enough to lie around
Spica made him compensate for the missed work, so he was too busy to see you
You tried to talk to him, but you couldn't even find him around the school, he was moving around too much
He was on the way to bed when he heard crying from your room
Which was when he realised
He actually felt really bad, had he been neglecting his beloved?
He knocked and went in, apologising and explaining his situation to you
You made him stay and sleep with you, and he willingly did, so you cuddled
He brought you out to shop, letting you get whatever you want
Took you to your favourite restaurant for dinner
He was a little unsure of what to get you, but he got you an oversized sweater from the same shop he buys his own clothes at
"I know this is for you, but I'm really happy too. Happy belated birthday, Summoner."
Pollux
You both normally see each other a lot, since you 2 take pretty much the same classes
But there was a huge project during this period of time for one of your classes, and unfortunately you both weren't partnered
You and your project partner finished up really quickly, but Pollux took a longer time
You tried talking to him, but he always shooed you away, very focused on his own project
His partner gave you an apologetic look, mouthing a 'happy birthday' to you
It was nice that his partner somehow knew and wished you a happy birthday, but the fact that it was them and not Pollux made you sad. Did he forget?
Nearing night, Poll had finally finished up. He immediately ran up to your room, where he found you in tears
His partner had reminded him that it was your birthday, and he felt so bad. How could he had forgotten? He was looking forward to this day as much as, if not more, than you were
He also burst into tears when he saw how sad you were, apologising over and over again for forgetting
Eventually you both (mostly Pollux, he was more sad than you were) calmed down, and you fell asleep in each other's arms
The next day, he brought you out to a fair that was taking place, and you 2 spent the whole day there
He got you a stuffed polar bear that he won from a shooting game, as well as a huge collection of other things you both won from other games, but the polar bear was your favourite
You 2 shared candy from a huge pile that Pollux got from a shop
"Happy belated birthday, Summoner. I promise I won't forget next time!"
Vega
This is where the actual angst begins, the ones above are nothing
Vega would be the last person to ever forget your birthday, there is a 99.9% chance he would remember, because why would he not?
Unfortunately for you both, this was that 0.01%
Vega had came back from a failed mission, which made him extremely salty
He refused to interact with any living being, which included you
You tried talking to him, but he always cut you off, asking you to leave him alone and go away, acting like how you both first met when you first ended up in the boundary
You were extremely hurt by this, you never expected Vega to be so cold to you at this point of time
Eventually you gave up on trying to talk to him, and you went back to your room
In truth, he was extremely bothered by the fact that he had forgotten something, and the failed mission only worsened his mood
He didn't want to look bad in front of you, afraid that you wouldn't like him anymore for messing a mission up, afraid that he was too incompetent to be your protector, to be yours
It was near midnight when he finally remembered what he forgot, and he sprinted to your room, where he found you already asleep, but the tear streaks were evident on your face
Vega's heart clenched at the sight. You had waited for him, even tried to remind him, but all his did was shoo you away
And that night, Vega cried outside your door
How undeserving he was, not to remember the one day that meant so much to you. How could he call himself your best friend, your significant other, if he couldn't even remember something as simple as your birthday?
He went back to his own room, tears streaming down his face. What a terrible person he was, to be so cold to you, even after all you 2 have been through. How could he ever earn your forgiveness for such a horrible act? How could he repent his sins?
The next day, you woke up feeling a little better from yesterday, still sad though, so you went to find Vega
Vega was already awake when you found him waiting at the lobby of the Neb Aula
He brought you to an empty field, where he had prepared a picnic for you (with Arcky's help, he had no idea how to do this on his own)
You both spent the day together at the field, eating the food prepared or simply frolicking around (or you dragging Vega around)
He got you a small music box, its gentle melody had reminded him of your time back in Mid Earthium as kids
"Happy belated birthday Summoner. I love you, and I hope you do too."
Sirius
Sirius is also very unlikely to forget something like this, knowing his personality
But somehow, he did.
He was off doing...actually you didn't know, and neither do I. Whatever shady sorcerers do, I guess
You couldn't find him throughout the day. And he didn't seem to have his stella tab on him, because he wasn't answering your calls. Unless he was ignoring you of course
He hadn't remembered, mostly because he doesn't really celebrate his own birthday
He's been around since Polaris, and after resetting the timelines so many times, altering time so many times, he wasn't even sure how old he was anymore
It was all for you, of course. But he was so focused on his main plan to save you, that he forgot little things here and there. And your birthday was one of those little things
It finally occurred to him what day it was, and he rushed back to Contell immediately, coming into your room through your window, which was conveniently left unlocked for him
It was really late, it wasn't even your birthday day anymore, it was like 2 in the morning of the next day
He found you already asleep, but he could tell you were crying just before this
He sat on an armchair by your bed and as he watched you sleep, Sirius questioned his entire existence
How did he forget that it was your birthday? He should have known, people who aren't sorcerers don't live as long as those chosen by the constellations. Just because he felt that his own birthday wasn't important, doesn't mean that yours wasn't either. In fact, it was all the more even more important
Then he remembered the times you had actually celebrated his birthday with him, as well as other little events he himself didn't even know were things, or simply just hanging around him and going out
No one else he knew did that with him, except Polaris. Which made him love you more. The 2 people whom had cared and loved him so much. He knew he couldn't save Polaris, they had gone too far to be saved. But it wasn't too late for you. And even if he couldn't, the least he could do, is make the time you spent with him the best your ever had
The next day, you found Sirius asleep on the armchair in your room
He took you out (on a date, he doesn't need to shoot you twice.) to a play, one in which he had written the script.
And for the rest of the day, the 2 of you just hung around, and you didn't mind Sirius bringing you around to places you didn't know even existed. But that was what you liked about him, wasn't it?
He brought you back to your room and tucked you in.
He didn't get you anything, claiming that his presence was your present. But you found yourself cuddling a plush of a black dog, with a familiar ribbon tied around its neck when you woke up the next day
The window was left slightly ajar.
"Sweet dreams, Summoner. Happy belated birthday."
Rigel
I'm feeling a little extra today (and I don't want to do linear graphs yet) so here you are @tophatmaker
He is the clan leader of Queen Tet. He swears his own clan is out to drive him insane (they are)
Like Spica, he is consistently busy. And today, Queen Tet was involved in a prank targeted towards Tharaval
He was too busy cleaning up the mess and yelling at his clanmates to remember that it was your birthday
You were shooed away when trying to talk to him
He only realised late at night when he was about to finally go to bed and get some sleep
He went to your room, where he found you sitting on your bed, silent tears streaming down your face
He was very guilty, though you couldn't really read his expression
He made it a point to punish his clan a little harsher for making him forget such an important event (rip Pollux and Sirius)
You couldn't really blame him though, because you knew about the clan-wide prank and understood that Rigel had to clean up his clan's mess
Didn't really make you any less sad that he forgot though
Still, he comforted and explained to you, apologising for forgetting
The next day, he made sure that Queen Tet was running laps around the school under supervision of Spica before bringing you out to walk
He allowed you to go on a shopping spree as an apology, rip his credit card
He took you to a fancy restaurant for dinner, where once again you abused his credit card. He's internally dying, but it's for you, his beloved Summoner. So all is forgiven
Got you a bracelet, one that you had pointed out to him because it had reminded you of him
The 2 of you shared an ice cream sundae together to end the day
"Happy belated birthday, Summoner. I hope you had fun today."
I got carried away for Vega and Sirius, I think there's more angst than happy ending 💀 Ehhhh whatever.
Remember to hydrate yourself and now I have to do linear graphs wish me luck

my winning score
eric x reader (request, thanks for requesting my lovely anon!!!)
genre: hockey player eric!!!!!!, misunderstandings, ice skating, dancing, kissing, golden retriever eric ... notes: to my lovely anon, thank you for answering my dumb question SLDKFJ i hope you like this! personally, i don't know much abt hockey but i tried~~ this was literally so fun to write i wrote it in one sitting &lt;3 word count: 0.9k
the crowd was loud, almost deafening with cheers and screams. people were even standing up, pumping their fists in the air at the winning team. but, you didn’t pay any attention to that because a certain person was your spotlight. eric, your boyfriend. 
you watched him with a fond smile as he had just scored the winning point, helping his team win. he was clearly happy, skating over to the rest of the team, giving high fives, exchanging smiles, and even taking off his gloves to shake hands with the opposing team.
then, he backed away from the crowd of players to turn around and search the crowd until he found you. his lips pulled up into a bright smile. when he caught your eye, you couldn’t help but catch yourself smiling too.
but almost immediately, you schooled your expression back to a neutral one.
you had just remembered what had happened earlier that day, and instead of smiling back, you looked off to the side, ignoring him and breaking eye contact.
eric paused, his arms falling to his sides and his smile fading, confused. he stared after you quietly, worried and wondering what had happened to you.
after the game, everyone filed out slowly, until it was only the two of you left in the hockey stadium. he gracefully skated to the entrance of the ice rink and motioned for you to come over. as slowly as you could, you walked down until you reached where he was standing. he had his helmet off now, his hair slightly sweaty. but, he looked attractive either way.
“congrats, eric,” you quietly said, your tone dull.
he gave you a quirked-up smile, “thanks.” he thought for a second before using his chin to point back to the empty ice skating rink. “come join me, y/n.”
you knew how to skate. it was because he had taught you on your very first date together. it was a fond memory that you could never forget.
reluctantly, you got the ice skates and put them on as he waited patiently. you stumbled at first when you got on the ice but eric easily steadied you, grabbing hold of your arm, and keeping you from falling. your heart sped up at the mere touch of him.
he led you with his hand holding yours, over to the edge so you could hold onto the railing.
it was quiet, as he stared at you with gentle eyes. you shied away from his gaze. and so, he leaned down to look at you again. you gulped.
“hey,” he softly spoke. “what’s wrong?”
you looked away again, turning your head, “nothing.”
“ay,” he started, looking at you with pleading eyes, gently nudging you to look at him again. “c’mon, tell me.”
you didn’t budge, keeping quiet.
“did i do something wrong?” he effortlessly skated around you, waiting for an answer. you watched him. but in the effort to follow him, you felt yourself slip again on the ice. maybe you weren’t as good as you thought. 
“woah there,” he chuckled, catching you by the waist this time. your cheeks heated up. he was looking at you so, so, soft, with no sharp edges to his face, all you could see was love.
“hm? y/n?” he continued to prod.
you sighed.
“in the morning, i texted you,” you muttered. “i was worried that you were overworking yourself and i also wanted to wish you good luck and all,” you explained, your cheeks turning redder with shame. in the corner of your eye, you could see his shocked face.
“but, you didn’t even read or answer the text messages? and that worried me more, eric,” you said. you could feel his grip on your waist tighten as he stayed silent, trying to come up with a response.
“ah, y/n,” he sheepishly smiled, scratching the back of his neck with an embarrassed expression. “i didn’t see the notification… i guess i was too busy warming up for the game. or i think coach might have put all our phones on silent...”
you nodded, defeated.
“but!” he exclaimed. he took your hand to his chest to show his sincerity, and you stared at him with wide eyes. “i swear, i swear, i won’t do it again, hm?”
he leaned closer, his eyes becoming sparkly and cute, almost like a puppy.
“...forgive me?”
you were silent for a moment before breaking out into a shy smile, rolling your eyes.
“fine.”
he giggled, relieved.
“come,” he interrupted the cold air with warm words. “let’s dance!” he bowed slightly and offered his hand, his blond hair falling over his eyes beautifully.
you laughed, your heartwarming, as you took his hand in yours. and so, he led you to dance, gliding to the middle of the ice skating rink and playfully moving with you. it was a bit awkward, none of you knowing how to dance on ice, but it was a good try, as he held onto your hand tightly, pulling you in and out while striking odd poses.
“you look ridiculous dancing in that uniform,” you eyed his hockey attire. he laughed.
“and you look beautiful.”
you took in a sharp breath, already feeling your face and ears flush. you brought your free hand up to your face, to cover it.
“you could’ve insulted me back…” you muttered.
he shook his head, “i would never. i simply love you too much.”
before you could protest against his words, he pulled you back to him. you stared up at him with big eyes before you felt his lips on his. you smiled, melting in his embrace. despite the cold atmosphere around you, all you could feel was warmth.
“let’s go,” he said, pulling away breathlessly. “i want to kiss you at home too, where it’s not freezing.”
“oh-” 
he didn’t let you finish, pulling you in again without a warning.

remember me? remember you. - shoto todoroki
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"sho?" he turns his head towards you and hums in response. "do you… do you think we could still be friends in the future?" you ask as you play with your dress. "of course , i wouldn’t want to stop being your friend." he said. you look down at your feet as tears starts to build up. "i don’t want to go…" you said quietly.
todoroki reaches over your hands and holds it. "it’s okay , you’ll come back soon." he gently rubs his thumbs over your hand to reassure you. "it’s scary without you , i don’t wanna leave you and japan." just as you try to look up , your vision were blocked.
"you can have this , you can wear this whenever you miss me." he gave you his cap , his cap that he always wore during summer. "sho? are you crying?" you once again try to look up but yet again it was blocked.
"i’m not." he’s lying. he was crying and he didn’t want you to see that so he blocked your vision with his cap. he didn’t like the idea of you leaving him behind either , he wished he could go overseas with you. but he knew he couldn’t.
"you promise you’ll always remember me?" he asked in a quiet general voice. you hummed. how could you not? he was your favourite person. he would always be your favourite person no matter what.
"always will."
-————————————————————————-
that was 12 years ago , your first love. shoto todoroki. who you met in the park near your house. he was the best friend you could ever ask for , he was not only sweet but caring. always curious about your interest and always careful around you. it was cute.
it’s been two weeks since you came back from overseas , you’re going to attend your high school in japan which you successfully get to convince your parents to let you. ua high was your option since you found out your favourite pro hero which you watched through the news was teaching there.
and currently you’re own your way to ua high.
-————————————————————————-
"holy shit , it’s really big." you murmur under your breath as you walk the hallway on your way to find your class. "okay , just where is the damn classroom?" you stood in the middle of the hallway and look both ways trying to figure out which one was the correct way.
"you lost pretty girl?" you look behind you and were greeted by a guy with yellow hair which had a black zigzag on the side. you replied slightly flustered by the pet name. "y-yeah , could you help me find 1-a class?" you could see his eyes sparkle. "i’m very pleased to share the same class as you pretty girl , i’m denki kaminari." you let out a chuckle. "well i am too , please guide your way kaminari."
kaminari takes the lead and shows you the way to the class. "uh you… your bag? did you not bring it with you?" you asked as you walk pass some classes. "oh no , i somehow forgot to bring water from home so i had to go down to get a water from the vending machine." now that explains why he knew the way to the class so well.
"so… your name , you haven’t told me your name yet." you mentally slap your forehead for forgetting about it. "right , it’s [y/f/n]. sorry about that." you replied. "oh no you’re good , that’s a pretty name you got there." this guy really knows how to get you flustered every second. "your name suits you very well." you complimented. "why thank you."
"the cap that you have there , is it a new fashion to hang caps onto your school bags?" you notice the cap hanging. the same cap that your first love gave it to you to remember him. "not sure about that but i like it to have it nearby , in case the weather gets sunny." he agrees.
finally , you reached to your class. you slide the door open and it was filled with students. but one caught your eyes. your eyes widen. it couldn’t be him could it? but you still ran up to his desk. "shoto todoroki?!" the boy with two hair colour turns , it is him! "oh my god! it's really you!" you softly squeal.
"do you... do you remember me? it's me [y/f/n]." but to your shock , he shakes his head. "no i don't." he quietly replies. you would be lying if you said that you didn't feel your heart shatter. but you didn't show it on your face. you flash him a smile. "it's okay!" i mean it was 12 years ago , both of you were only 5 , of course he won't remember that.
"hey [y/n] , you know him?" kaminari asks as he approaches to todoroki's desk. "ah , yeah... kind of?" you quickly reply. todoroki clears his throat. "oh sorry , we'll leave then." you hoped that he would've stopped you but of course he wouldn't , not that he remembers you to be comfortable to sit next to you.
you decided to take a seat next to kaminari's seat and chatted the entire time as the class waited for the homeroom teacher to arrive. you made friends quicker than you thought you would. part of you wanted to be close with todoroki as well. you secretly glance over todoroki's desk only to find him staring at you already , you immediately turn away
feeling the heat on your body raise and you swear you heard a chuckle from him. the plan you had to be closer to him should be put aside , for now you should focus on how to calm your damn heart down before it pops out of your chest from how fast it's pumping. "you good [y/n]?" "y-yeah."
-————————————————————————-
god , could you get any cuter? nothing changed , the same eye smile , the same cheeky shy smile and the same cap that he gave that day. the day where he had to let you go with no choice. of course he remembers you. how could he not?
you were his first friend , first best friend and first love. he was just too surprised to see you. you've gotten prettier and cuter , he had a hard time registering that you [y/f/n] were right in front of him , an arm length reach where he could just pull you for a hug.
he's not dense , he saw your face drop and it was clearly written on your face that you were hurt by his response. but he was amazed how quickly you changed. a guy appears behind you and he tightens his fist.
his heart aches. kind of? well i guess he deserves it for saying that he doesn't remember you , fair enough. he clears his throat having enough of you and the yellow hair chit chat in front of him. his eyes follow you as you leave his table and sit next to the guy.
todoroki rests his chin on his palm and watches you having conversation with your new friends. god you were just gorgeous. he then catches you trying to look at him only to turn away quickly. he lets out a deep chuckle. "what are you doing to me [y/f/n]."
sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes
school is tomorrow yay!

Ashden/Aidlyn oneshot
Enjoy!
Ashlyn couldn’t stay awake in school. Her head kept dropping to her desk like she was made of metal and the table was a magnet. 
These past few months of dealing with this bullshit nightmare world, she had never been so exhausted. 
During lunch, she sat with the others. They didn’t look much better. Well, except Aiden, of course. She wondered if he chugged energy drinks or if he was just always like this. She really hoped it was the former, because the idea of him always managing to be like this pissed her off. 
“Ok, so..” Tyler said, pinching his brow. “We need to get more ammo.. Ashlyn, your dad got that covered?”
She simply nodded in response before she sighed and rubbed her head and stood up. “I’m gonna go get another bottle of water..” she mumbled. 
Aiden also got up. “I will too!” He said happily. 
She scowled at him, but she was too tired to say anything. Things had been a little.. strange between the two of them after Aiden had saved her from that phantom on the rooftop. He had been so much softer and.. touchy (well, he was already very touchy, but he seemed to have amped it up to 11). And with the whole ‘Tyler on the hospital’ thing, they hadn’t really had anytime to fully process that night, except for that one time they talked and Aiden had reached out to touch her face, which was very weird to her. She didn’t really know how to act around him now. 
She wanted to still hate him, but she knew that he had a soft spot, and that made him more.. endearing. Ugh.. she did not want to think of Aiden like that..
She grabbed a bottled water from the school concession stand. Aiden did not. 
“Aren’t you going to get a water?” She asked him hoarsely. 
“Hmmm.. I’m not thirsty!” He said cheerfully. 
She stared at him, wanting to thump his forehead. But she decided he wasn’t worth the effort. 
“Then why did you follow me here?” She grumbled. 
He glanced at her and then looked around and then back at her. “Come with me.”
She was about to object, but she didn’t get the chance as he walked ahead of her. 
Part of her was just wanting to ignore him and walk back to the table. But she found herself following him. They entered a cleared out hallway, no students around. 
“What is it?” She asked. 
He opened a locker, his locker, and pulled out a can of coffee. 
“I snuck out during 3rd period to get you this!” He said with a jovial smile. 
She was caught off guard. She took the coffee, happy it wasn’t an energy drink (she hates those things). 
It was a black coffee too. Aiden must know she hates all that sweetener. 
“But.. why?”
He laughed and scratched his head. “Because you’ve looked absolutely dead. Well, more dead than you usually do, haha!”
She nearly crushed the can in her hands. 
He laughed and quickly shook his head. “Sorry, sorry! Nooooot funny.”
The two stood there for a moment, unsure of what to say. 
“Hey, um..” he started. “I just want you to know.. you’re doing great..”
She’s surprised by his sudden soft attitude. He used to rarely ever be like this.. so genuine. Then again, she rarely is ever, so maybe she’s a tad jealous that it’s been getting easier for him..
She opened the coffee can and hesitated to respond. She was unsure of what to say. “Thank you”? “Well, I try”? “I know I am”?
She bit her lip, thinking, before blurting out “It’s just my job as the leader..”
He seems surprised and she silently cursed to herself for just speaking without thinking. 
He shook his head. “I didn’t mean in the dream world. I think you already know you’re amazing there. I mean.. in our day to day lives..”
“Hm..?”
He hesitated before slapping on that normal smile of his. Fake and creepy. 
“Forget about it! Cmon, the others are probably wondering what’s taking us so long!”
He walked ahead of her. She didn’t follow immediately. She stared at the coffee and clutched it in her hands. 
Why is this so hard for me? It seems easier for him..
But.. little did Ashlyn know that Aiden was just as clueless about friendship as she was. 
————————————————————
Aiden walked back to the lunch table, quietly scolding himself. 
Why can’t you just say what you’re thinking?! All these words I want to say are so much easier to say in my head!
He reached the table and everyone looked at him curiously. 
“Where’s Ashlyn?” Taylor asked. 
“She’s coming,” he said, resting his chin on his hand. 
And sure enough, Ashlyn arrived, taking her spot again. 
“What took you guys so long?” Tyler asked. 
“Just bestie things!” Aiden said happily. He was glad he was so good at concealing his feelings and that no one knew how absolutely embarrassed he was about the interaction he just had with his crush. 
Ashlyn stared at him with mild contempt before turning away from the others to drink her coffee. 
He really wished he could eloquently say what he thought. 
He wanted to tell her he liked that way her red hair fell into her face when she turned away during an awkward situation. He wanted to tell her he thought her super hearing was super rad, but how he also was willing to take her to a quiet place if it got too overwhelming. He wanted to tell her he thought it was badass how she could smash things with a single kick. 
But most of all..
He wanted to tell her she wasn’t alone. 
And after the Tyler incident, she’s seemed even more closed off and guilt ridden than usual. 
He sighed. His friends turned to him, wondering what’s got him so daydreamy. He just smiled at them and they decided to forget it. 
Well..
Maybe one day he could find the words. 
But it certainly won’t be anytime soon. 
Ashlyn’s got her own problems to worry about. 
So, he’ll just stand next to her and support her throughout everything. Even if she wants to do it all alone. 
After all… he can’t let his best friend carry so much on her shoulders!

➷ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴏ ɪ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ?
ᴛᴀɢs - school au, jealously, jealous couple, bickering, compliments, flusteration, fluff, neon, gon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"You are really a big help. If you want I can pay you back." Your senior wink in flirtatious way as you simply give him a close eye smile as he waved back at you with a smile from his side too.
You were in same club, yesterday he was due with a club project but unfortunately it was still incomplete. Feeling bad for the guy you offer him your help and here we are now.
As he left you as you feel a dark aura emitting from your behind annnd it was Killua, ofc.
"I am gonna break those shining teeth of his then we will see if he can still smile."
"Seriously Killua?"
"Hey don't forget you almost were ready to kill me because you see a girl laughing while talking to me."
"Well I feel guilty about that!"
"Okay so you got right to be protective but I don't?"
"We both got right but that doesn't mean we should literally stop our partner from having normal human interaction and it's not like we can control intentions of other person."
"Oh? So you atleast know we can't control intentions of other person. Well hopefully next time you will remember that before lashing out on me!"
You both glared at each other so hard a spark was created before Gon calm you guys once again.
"That idiot girl is not being reasonable." Killua retorted as he cross arms against his chest.
"I dare to say that again." You said with your fist rising.
"You guys please stop." Gon said trying to hide his exhaustion with a smile.
"It's a no-no." Neon suddenly appeared as other three back up in suprise.
"Why are you even here?" Killua said with annoyed look.
"Of course to meet (Y/N)-chan." She hugged you, making Killua even more annoyed.
"Stop clinging to her will you?" Killua scoffed,"Well unlike certain someone I am open with my feelings." She said those words with smile but their meaning was sure sour.
"But like I was saying you guys need to improve your communicative skills."
"I think they are already improved enough. We're honest with each other." Killua said not liking to hear criticism from blue hair girl.
"Well if that's called improved then I don't know what's more worst then it." Gon mumbled to himself but Killua caught the words and hold his collar in annoyance.
"So today you're gonna compliment each other." Neon declared, hands on her hip.
"What how can we find something to compliment so easily?" You hold your chin between your fingers.
"Yeah." Despite agreeing with you this wast much hard for Killua because from his view each time you was there he can always find something to compliment about but of course it's easier to think than being done.
"It's a test of your love!" Neon announced, definitely not backing up on her plan.
"Test of l-l-love?" You repeat with flusteration clear in your voice.
"You can't be serious (Y/N)?" Killua question reading your face.
"W-well─"
"(Y/N)-chan agrees. Everything settles." Neon said she pushes you in front,"Let's start with you only Killua." Neon pointed at white hair boy, who stuttered 'me?' to which Neon casually response 'yes'.
Staring at you for sometime, making you self conscious he opened his mouth only to let out long breath.
"Is it too hard to find something on (Y/N)-chan?" Gon comment innocently not knowing it hit ther nerve on you as you immediately held white hair boy's collar and in threatening tone ask him to conform it.
"O-of course not! It's just. . . . little embarrassing to say." He said as he avert his eyes away. Upon hearing his reason you also set him free as an unknown feeling emerge inside you.
"That's a negative point." Neon said from sidelines, making an irk mark appear on Killua.
"It's okay. I know he act like all rough and all but on inside he is much caring and sweet. He probably feeling embarrassed so I-I think I will go first." You said in meek voice as you fiddle with your fingers while other three awed at your words.
Even through you act so mean and arrogant, you always try to understand him better than everyone else.
"You already complete your part." Neon said while Gon agree with her.
"I did?" You said as red lines appear on your cheeks.
"Yes you did, right Killua?" Neon eyed the white hair boy who was still in awed from your words.
"Maybe?"
"Don't maybe! Now just say something on your turn."
". . ."
He look at you once again before his eyes caught yours, looking at him with pure hope. This cause him to have red lines appear on his cheeks before he avert them again.
"I like. . . .your smile." He is burning from inside but atleast he was able to say something good.
"Huh? Not good enough. Say something more." Neon complaint. Killua was about to bark at her back before (Y/N) assured them,"It's fine."
"Even with this much words I am truly happy. Truly happy to hear him say that." Your pure aura of happiness was around you. Your eyes was down due to shyness, but your happy face was everything. And just like that everyone was in aw once again.
"Can I date you instead (Y/N)-chan?"
"WHAT?"
"She really deserves better."
"WHAT!?"
Words from Neon and Gon was sure out of box, confused Killua looked at them both while you feel your cheeks burning with compliment.
"I feel so special." You thought as you look down in embarrassment.
"I think that was good enough." Gon comment as he pat Killua on the back.
Neon nodded in response before she slapped her hands with suprised expression,"Oh I remember the real reason I come here for."
Hearing this Killua gritted his teeth as Gon hold him back.
"What was that it?" You really didn't care if that thing before only happen cause Neon forget her real reason, to add you were most certainly happy she forgot and proposed that plan.
"I am having a welcome party at my house in few days so I wanted (Y/N)-chan to come shopping me, if it's okay with Killua." Neon stated as everyone glances at Killua.
"It's her choice don't make me come in between." He nonchalantly stated.
"Oh~?" Gon and Neon said together making Killua annoyed as ever.
"Well if it's okay with you, can Gon and Killua also join us?" You ask Neon with red lines on your cheeks. Looks like you was trying to be cool about it but your face totally give you away.
"If that's what (Y/N)-chan wants then I am fine with it." Neon said in a tone, totally devoted to you.
"So we all will hang out together? Sounds fun!" Gon said in pure excitement while Killua tch in response.
You looking at other three just smile which Killua capture in his heart.

Family Relations ; B.Bradshaw
Requested?: Yes
Words: 811
Summary: Bob’s sister is the newest bartender at The Hard Deck. Unbeknownst to most of the crew, most of all bob, she and Rooster started going out. What happens when Hangman loudly pieces everything together and Bob overhears?
note: This ended up being a bit different than the original request, but i hope its still ok. This is also my first time writing in 3rd person, so feedback is appreciated!
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
Rooster sat at the piano, playing along with the song coming from the jukebox while she dried glasses behind the counter. The Hard Deck didn't open for another 3 hours, but Penny had tasked her with prep and opening, saying it was "time for her to take on more responsibility around here". Stacking the glasses behind the bar, a smile broke out on her face as Bradley got fully into his rendition of Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac.
Swaying her hips, she shook her head and laughed before joining Rooster in belting out the lyrics. Forgetting her tasks she made her way over to her pilot, tossing an arm around his shoulder she dropping into his lap. Not missing a beat, he placed a kiss to her cheek before raising his voice just above the music.
"Sing us home, Darlin'!"
Tumblr media
The bar was in full swing. She and Penny were passing out drinks like they did most nights. Every so often she'd drop by the pool table Phoenix, Hangman, and the others were occupying, supplying them with fresh drinks and ignoring the flirty glances from Rooster.
Lingering at the table longer than usual, she chatted casually with the crewmen. As Rooster lined up his shot a comfortable silence fell amongst the table. Hangman, ever the opportunist, saw his opening to conduct a full examination on the bartender his rival was clearly eyeing.
She happily answered his questions, happy to talk about something other than what was happening at base. Slowly his questions got more and more personal. It wasn't until the question about her family came up that she hesitated. Her eyes flashed to Rooster who only shrugged. "It's a pretty boring story really. I tried to follow in my brother's footsteps and join the navy right out of high school, ended up flunking out of basic, so I followed bob out east, and now I'm here." She winced right as the answer passed her lips. Hopefully, no one noticed her little slip-up.
To outside eyes, she was nothing more than the stunning bartender Rooster was head over heels for. By some twist of the genetic lottery, she and bob didn't particularly favor each other in looks or personality. She was the confident, boisterous antithesis of bob's shy, sweet demeanor. The only thing the two shared was a last name and a nearly identical eyeglass prescription, though she opted for contacts over frames.  It just so happened that while rushing out of Roosters place this morning, she threw on her glasses saying she'd put her contacts in the bathroom at work. 6 hours and an unusually busy morning later, she still had on the thick plastic frames that brought out her family resemblance.
Jake, being a little too observant, leaned over, and looked intently at her features. He honestly was shocked he'd never noticed before. The jaw with a bit of softness, the crystal blue hue held within almond-shaped eyes, the blonde highlights scattered through her otherwise brunette hair.  Her face warmed up under Jake's gaze. Diverting her eyes over to Rooster she noted his wide-eyed expression letting on that he caught it too. Looks like the cat is out of the bag.
Jake pulled back, slamming his beer down on the table before doubling over in laughter. Several awkward moments later, Hangman stood up straight and wiped a dramatic tear from his eye. "You have GOT to be shitting me!" He exclaimed as everyone turned to him in confusion. regaining his composure, he picked his beer back up before addressing the small crowd. "If you guys didn’t know, our boy Rooster is shacking up with this beautiful lady" he declared, winking at her while taking a sip from his bottle "It just so happens that she’s also Bobby boy's sister!" He continued. Snickers were muffled and eyes were diverted as Bradley's expression turned unreadable.
Just then, someone cleared their throat uncomfortably. Turning, she noticed her brother standing very uncomfortably in the corner holding a pool cue.
She opened her mouth to speak but words failed her. Roosters head dropped between his shoulders while Hangman yelled something about a family reunion.
Quiet as ever Bob pushed his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose and padded over towards Rooster. The crowd parted, waiting with bated breath for Bob's reaction. As he approached Bradley stood up straight and met his gaze. Peering over his silver-framed lenses, he leaned closer to Rooster. "Whatever you do, just don't break her heart. Ok?" He said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'd never dream of it." He replied, not breaking eye contact. Bob patted his shoulder gently as he turned to his sister with sad eyes. "I just wish you would have told me..." he mumbled as quiet conversation broke out amongst the group.  She opened her mouth to speak but bob just shook his head before disappearing into the crowd.

Unlikely Affection Chapter 17: Welcoming The Pink Toad
Hello everyone! I have had the worst case of writer's block and for some reason writing this chapter seemed almost impossible, but thankfully it is finally done! I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to comment, like, and reblog if you are enjoying this story, it means the world to hear from you!
Tumblr media
The rest of the summer flew by and before I knew it, I was off on the Hogwarts Express gearing up to start a brand new school year. 
Edwin and I of course shared a compartment on the train. We caught up after he spent the last two weeks before school with his parents on holiday in France. He talked about his trip and all of the interesting places they explored, I told him of my time with Millie and my grandfather, and everything that happened the evening of the gala…minus several details, just to spare him the trauma. 
***The Feast***
We arrived at the feast together after changing into our robes. Sitting down at the Gryffindor table beside Fred and George Weasley who were a year ahead of us and tucked into the vast array of food that welcomed us back to our home away from home. 
As I ate, I allowed myself to glance at the head table, where Severus sat beside McGonagall and that is when my heart sank. On his right side, in an obnoxiously pink ensemble sat Deloras Umbridge, the undersecretary for Minister Fudge. She was a tiny, plump, and very cheerfully cruel woman who enjoyed throwing the book at witches and wizards who dared to oppose anything the minister ordered. My grandfather had told me stories of her and her complete dedication to both the ministry and the minister himself, she would kill for him if he asked her. Which my grandfather not so affectionately referred to as blind obsession. 
I nudged Edwin and gestured towards the table. “Is that who I think it is?” He asked, taking a bite of roasted chicken. 
“I wonder why she is here and not playing puppy dog to the minister.” I sneered 
Edwin shrugged in response just as Dumbledore stood and made his way to his podium to make his welcome speech to bring in the school year. He began of course with a greeting and telling us that Hagrid was taking some time away and we would have a substitute in the meantime. Then, he introduced her and the new defense against the dark arts teacher, everyone gave a weak clap and Dumbledore opened his mouth to move on but Umbridge stood, and began a speech of her own. We were all in relative shock that she would even consider interrupting the headmaster, but apparently, she was already making her own rules. 
Edwin and I sat through her entire speech and just gaped at each other once she was finished and sat back down beside a stunned Severus. Thankfully Dumbledore dismissed us to bed before we all could react to the weird speech Umbridge had made. 
I decided to make a pit stop by the potions classroom before I went to the common room for the rest of the evening. I knew Severus wouldn’t be in the classroom yet, so it gave me time to plop myself onto his desktop and wait for the door to open. 
After a few minutes of waiting, it finally did and my bat walked through the door and into the dark room. He smiled when he saw me and opened his arms. I sprung from my position on his desk and ran to hug him, placing a slow kiss on his lips. 
He backed me up towards his desk, never breaking our kiss as he lifted me up and placed me on the cool wooden surface. His hands trailed up and down my body, until he got sick of the robes being in his way and he broke the kiss, his fingers expertly undoing the clasp that kept my robe on and it fell to the side. 
“I need you.” He breathed against my lips as he attacked my mouth with his, our kisses becoming sloppy and hurried as the need to feel one another grew stronger.  My hands fumbled hurriedly to rid him of the thick black wool that covered his body until he placed his hands on mine and mumbled “Not here.” into my panting mouth. 
After making sure we grabbed my discarded robe we moved quickly into his chambers where he, unceremoniously threw me onto his large and previous to our escapades, neatly made bed. I giggled when I hit the green satin duvet and he attacked my exposed neck with kisses, making quick work of removing my uniform so I was bare in just my deep purple lace bra and knickers. 
“What a sight you are.” He growled, trailing his kisses down my neck, all the way to my stomach to the edge of my underwear, stopping only to tug the offending fabric down my legs, exposing my bare core to him. He placed a gentle kiss on the top of my core before stepping back and beginning to remove his own clothing hastily. 
But just as he was beginning to remove his trousers, he hissed and gripped his left arm. I looked up at him confused and he pinched the bridge of his nose. 
“I must go.” He announced with a fair bit of annoyance in his voice. “The Dark Lord is summoning me.”
 He spoke as if his meeting with You-Know-Who was a normal occurrence and my eyes grew wide at his admission.
“I’m sorry…What?” I asked, sitting up and pulling the sheet to cover my exposed body. 
“Little Star, I’m afraid I do not have the time to explain. We will have a conversation soon…I promise.” He placed a quick kiss on my lips and walked hastily from the room. After a few minutes of shock at how abruptly our fun reunion evening ended, I decided to get dressed and make my way back to the dorms for the evening. 
When I arrived through the portrait hole Edwin was sitting with a book in his hands in one of the many plush chairs that littered the cozy room. His eyes perked shot up when he saw me and the book was placed on the table at his side. 
“How’d it go?” He asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I groaned and sat in the chair beside him, placing my head in my hands. 
“Do you know anything about the dark mark?” I asked, lifting my head and looking over at Edwin. 
Edwin shrugged, “I know it's kind of like a brand for dark wizards. Mum said that You-Know-Who uses the mark to call his followers to him. But that’s about as much as I know…Why?” He asked. 
“He winced…grabbed his left wrist…and said he needed to go,” I explained and Edwin winced. 
“My parents made me promise not to tell you because Iferous didn’t want you involved…But I think you need to know…” 
I crossed my arms over my chest, “What am I not supposed to know Edwin?” I seethed, glaring at him. 
Edwin looked around at the paintings on the wall of the common room, making sure they were actually asleep before he spoke. “Okay…Those meetings your grandfather has been going to every few weeks aren't for the ministry. It's a secret society called the Order of The Phoenix, he was a part of it during the first war and he joined again…same with my parents, Sirius Black, Lupin, Moody, Tonks, Kingsley, Arthur Weasley, Snape, and a few others. Dumbledore formed it years ago…From what my parents said, Snape is a spy for Dumbledore, he defected when he was a Death Eater and came over to our side. But he still pretends to be loyal to You-Know-Who and after the third task last year…Snape had to resume his spying.” Edwin whispered and my heart thudded in my chest, the information overload was making my head spin. 
“So Grandad has been keeping this from me…The whole summer?” I asked 
“Is that really what you decided to focus on?” He replied, looking perplexed. 
“Why did they keep it from me?” I hissed “Both of them. Severus told me we would talk at some point, but he has knowingly kept this from me for months, and Grandad hid it all summer.” I looked down at my lap. 
Edwin stood up and crouched in front of me, taking my hands in his. “I think they are trying to protect you Rora. Iferous, because he’s your grandfather and Snape because he loves you.” 
My eyes shot up to meet his and I shook my head quickly. “No. Nononono, I usually tell you that you are a lunatic but you actually are a lunatic if you think he loves me…That is just insane, we haven't even been together for a year yet and we don’t even have titles. You have completely lost your marbles.” I spoke quickly, whispering with a force I didn’t know my voice had 
“I wasn’t wrong about him being jealous and about him wanting you…biblically. You really think I’m wrong about this?” He smirked through his whisper. 
“No, I refuse to believe it until he says it himself. Which won’t happen because he isn’t the cuddly saying ‘I love you’ type Edwin.” I was arguing with myself at this point because Edwin was smiling knowingly and it made me want to punch him in the throat. 
“We need to go to bed, classes start tomorrow.” I pulled my hands out of his grasp and stood up, knocking him on his ass since he was balancing on just his feet as he crouched. 
Edwin stood and dusted himself off, mumbling a curt “rude” before he patted my arm and whispered, “Goodnight future Mrs. Snape.” Then he made a kissy face at me and walked up to the boys' dorms. 
“You absolute child!” I whisper yelled at him and he laughed in response, closing the door to the dorms behind him.

@corneliaavenue-ao3 ‘s Several Sunlit Daylights
Debut: Stay Beautiful
Making paper chains for Christmas was always a long, but fun task. Ginny always took responsibility for it and she never used magic to make them.
She got all of her materials and set them out on the table and got to work.
Her work was stopped short when Harry entered the room and saw what she was doing. “Hey, Gin,” he said. “What are you making?”
“Paper chains,” she said, looking up at him. “I just started making them.”
“That’s nice. Do you need any help?”
Usually, Ginny would say no, since she liked to do it by herself. But this was Harry. She’d do anything to spend time with Harry.
She scooted over on the floor to make some room for him. “You can make them with me,” she smiled.
Harry grinned. “Great! You’re gonna have to tell me how first, though.”
She told him how to do it quickly and he caught on pretty quick. She came to realize that Harry was a fast learner.
“So, you’ve never made any Christmas decorations before?” Ginny asked, making a conversation.
“No, the Dursleys weren’t too big on making them yourself when they could just buy it.”
“They sound like no fun.”
“They weren’t fun at all. That’s why I like it here better, it’s more lively and happy.” Ginny was so happy to hear that Harry felt comfortable at the Burrow. He deserved to have a safe place. “And I love spending time with you and Ron.”
Hearing him say that he loved to spend time with her, made her heart flutter. Not to mention he was looking at her rather tenderly, his eyes like a jungle she could get herself lost in.
Ginny just smiled at him. “I love spending time with you as well. I think I’ve gotten to know you better recently.”
“Yeah, it’s been nice. However, I will never forget the time you had a crush on me and wrote me poems,” he smirked.
“Oh, please, forget it!” Ginny groaned. “It was the most embarrassing moment of my life, my poem about you read in front of everyone!”
“It was rather cute.”
Ginny looked at him. She couldn’t believe he thought it was cute! Eleven-year-old Ginny would die if she heard that. Fifteen-year-old Ginny however just has butterflies in her stomach.
“I’m glad you think that and never said it to my little self out loud. She would have died.”
Harry laughed. “No, it was a nice gesture. Most girls at school just like me because I’m the Chosen One, or whatever. None of them have said my eyes are as green as fresh pickled toads.”
Ginny stared at him in astonishment. “You still remember it!”
“Of course, I do! I still have the poem in my bag.”
Okay, Ginny didn’t know how much more of this she could take before falling head over heels for Harry Potter!
They continued making the paper chains when Ginny started talking again. “For the record, I don’t think girls only like you because you’re the Chosen One.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard the way the girls talk about you in the Common Room. They usually gush about how pretty you are or how sweet you are.”
Ginny saw the slight blush rise on his cheeks. “Really? Well, that’s new.”
Ginny looked at the way he smiled and got back to the paper chains. She knew he was very pretty and that he needed to hear it from someone. His hair is perfect, everyone knows that. His eyes are Ginny’s favourite colour. His smile is like the radio.
Does he know? Will he ever know?
“Well, I think you’re beautiful, Harry,” she blurted out.
Harry’s eyes lit up as he looked at her. “Thank you.” If his cheeks were red before, they were definitely red now. “I, uh…I think you’re beautiful as well. Very beautiful.”
Ginny felt like she was gonna melt in a puddle of happiness with how softly he was looking at her.
She wanted him to stay beautiful like this, looking at her like she was a treasure.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
15 years old, DOB: 14/2/2009 Roo's younger sister, also goes by Delilah, Deliahn and Deli. Born under Virginia and Noah Blom.
"I miss Deli everyday, I can't see her much because she lives in Sweden and I live in the US, but after I began recovery [at 21], I got a phone-call from my Mom, she was completely disheartened, Noah had left her, it was even more surprising when she told me he had left her so long ago [7 years ago], and Noah had been required by law to take Deli and Devan into his custody due to her [Virginia] conditions, she asked me to come back to Sweden to visit her, on behalf of her [Virginia], I agreed. I came to find out Deli had been bullied for being herself, she was only 7 years old, so I did what any older brother would do and stood up for her, she never left my side since. I'll never forget the pleading in her face as I began boarding my flight back to the US." - Roo
[Rest under the cut cuz its long :)]
She's the weird kid, with her silly outfits, her "out-of-place" personality and obsession with the outdoors, she wants to explore the world, she wants to see the coldest 'bergs in the Arctic, and the hottest dunes of the Deserts around the world, but this adventurous and carefree child was almost reaped of her joy, with no mother present, a father too busy arguing with his son and nobody to fend for her, she was vulnerable to bullying. Upon starting Year 1 (Lågstadiet / The equiv to first grade in the US), kids caught onto her strange behavior, while her school encouraged no bullying, it didn't stop the kids from isolating her away from the others, she adopted this behavior, becoming introverted, and when visiting her mother and telling her about school, Virginia felt uneasy, at which point she called Roo and asked for his help.
The bullying stopped, kids may not have warmed up to her quite yet, and she still had a rather introverted personality, she was... Happier, because of Roo, she went with him everywhere, she did everything with him, she didn't really realize he didn't just live in Sweden, nor could he afford to do so. When the time came for Roo to depart back to America, time stopped, Deli's savior, her brother, the only person who cared, was leaving her, she pleaded, she begged, she even suggested hiding her away in his luggage, anything to be with someone who loved her, but he didn't budge, he couldn't budge, and that didn't click with her, he was supposed to stay forever and save her. Noah practically ripped her off of Roo, she said her broken goodbyes, and Roo expressed how much he cared for her, and how much he hoped she would continue to be herself, if not for herself, then for him, and she promised him, pinky promise.
Deli continues to be weird and be outlandish compared to the other kids, but it was charming, and she has a little trio of her own that all aspire to travel the world together, while she didn't initially recover from Roo's departure, she promises him everyday in spirit to be herself, she's almost 16 (as of writing this, and will be 16 in a couple days :)) and is swiftly on her way to Year 10 (equiv = 11th grade), she does periodically experience depression and bouts of loneliness, as a trauma response to her childhood and lack of parental guidance and parental figures. She isn't sure what is wrong with her, and she doesn't really recognize it as "wrong," and rather normal. Not only that, but she's also currently interested in a fellow student...
