the fact that I have to walk this bitch's dog but the dog is In Her Room and I'm physically incapable of walking out there or calling for her

As someone who ships Chaggie as well, I want your opinion on this.
Someone made a kinda good point about Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship; the point being that there’s a power imbalance between them. Charlie is the princess of hell. She wouldn’t physically loose anything or be hurt physically if she breaks up with Vaggie. But Vaggie would loose both the love of her life and her home and friends if they break off. And so they see this toxic dynamic because Vaggie is “walking on eggshells” in order to stay in Charlie’s favor and not getting on her bad side.
So….thoughts?
The problem is people who say these things treat the terms "power imbalance" and "toxic" and "unhealthy" as the same things when they are not.
There is a power imbalance, yes, definitely. I constantly make jokes about the fact that Charlie and Vaggie have a forbidden love story in a Boss/Employee HR violation kinda way for pete's sake. It's just a lot more funny thinking about the fact that that probably has more weight than the demon/angel situation.
But the thing is, no matter what Charlie will ALWAYS have a power imbalance with whoever she dates because she is literally the princess of Hell, as they have said. Even if she dates a fellow hellborn royal, the fact that Charlie is in a higher position of power will always be a fact because her parents are literally the only ones above that. So what? Should she just not date anyone??? Also, isn't the one has a higher position of power but still loves the other a super popular ship trope? Rich x poor. Royalty x commoner. Goddess/immortal x normal human. Popular in school x the social loser. The list goes on. So why is it a problem now?
The fact that they think Vaggie "walks on eggshells" around Charlie is a bit...? I'm just a little confused you know? Vaggie is definitely not afraid of Charlie. When they had their fallout, she wasn't afraid of losing the things she was dependent on Charlie if they ever broke up(i.e. a home, her safety, money etc) because Vaggie damn well knows Charlie wouldn't do that. Everyone in hell knows Charlie goddamn Morningstar wouldn't do that. Vaggie was merely afraid of losing their relationship, which is a perfectly normal thing to be afraid of. Vaggie's dedication to Charlie isn't rooted in fear, it's rooted in devotion in the name of what she thinks the person she loves deserves.
The thing that makes Chaggie so great despite that power imbalance is the fact that Charlie is an absolute sweetheart. She isn't the kind of person who would take advantage of that power and Vaggie, as someone who knows her so well, is perfectly aware of that. Vaggie is safe with Charlie in every way that matters, and this is where toxicity and the unhealthy elements come into play.
Charlie and Vaggie as individuals have all the ingredients for an unhealthy relationship. As Husk so plainly pointed out, Charlie would rather fix everyone else's problems than help herself. Meanwhile Vaggie has deep self-hatred that seeps into how she feels about everyone but Charlie. They're both the type of people who would rather think about others rather than themselves. This is the root of their codependency, and why their relationship can be quite unhealthy. It's extremely evident with Vaggie, which makes perfect sense since she probably never saw herself as a person before Charlie.
Those flaws can so easily be taken advantage of in a relationship, but the thing is, do they do that? Do either of them think the other ever would? As Rosie did say...
Tumblr media
While Charlie likes to shoulder everyone else's problems, Vaggie looks at the love her life and decides she'll take some of that load so she doesn't get crushed under the weight of the world. Vaggie reels Charlie in by being the realist to Charlie's dreamer. Vaggie used to essentially be Heaven's living weapon, but she has now sworn to be the armor for someone who looks out for everyone but herself.
Tumblr media
On the other hand Vaggie's self-worth is shrewed because she's an ex-soldier who thinks she should always be under someone's service to be deserving of anything. But here Charlie is who constantly calls Vaggie her partner and blatantly treats Vaggie as an equal and still loves Vaggie "more than anything" and doesn't doubt that Vaggie loves her in return even after finding out Vaggie's lie and true origins.
Tumblr media
So are they good for each other? Maybe not, but there's still more of the show to see. They can be unhealthy, but not to the point that being together damages each other in any significant way. Their relationship is imperfect, which is fine. No relationship is. Especially not in fucking HELL. And perfect for a story because, yunno... They are still in an ongoing story. They aren't a lost cause yet. It's something they can develop from, something we can get to SEE them develop from.
Are they toxic though?? Are they harming each other physically, emotionally, sexually, or financially? Definitely not. Because although whether they're good FOR each other still remains to be seen, it is an undeniable fact that they are good TO each other, despite all the ways they could not be. The unhealthy elements are due to how they treat themselves, but their relationship can't be deemed toxic because of how they treat each other. And for now, that's what matters and that's why I love this ship.

Charles' crush
Charles x sainz!fem!reader
Summary: Y/N is Carlos's little sister who is like a ball of sunshine sweet to everyone one and Charles had a massive crush on her and always shy when she’s near and always runs away when she try’s to talk to him because he doesn’t want to make a fool out of him self. This makes her sad thinking he doesn’t like her and Daniel and max get angry cause they are bestfriends with her and give Charlie so hard time.
WARNINGS: no proof read
A/n: I don't even remember when I wrote this, I probably wrote it very badly, I will check and fix it later xoxo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Oh my god look at her!” Charles screamed internally. He couldn't take his eyes off Y/N Sainz. As the girl walked through the paddock, smiling and greeting everyone, Charles watched her with admiration from where he stood. Seeing his gaze turn away, Max and Daniel next to him looked at each other and then at where Charles focused. When they saw Y/N approaching them, they smiled and waved. This girl was their close friend and they valued her.
Charles panicked when he saw Y/N smiling at him and approaching them. He spoke without turning to the people next to him: "She's coming here, why is she coming here, oh, what am I going to do, damn it?" Daniel frowned and looked at Charles, "What are you talking about? she is Y/N! She is always with us. This kid is starting to act weird." While Charles was holding his breath nervously, Max laughed at Daniel and at that moment, Y/N approached them "Hi guys, how are you?" She spread energy to the environment with all her joy and that beautiful smile.  
Daniel and Max hugged you, this time you turned to Charles and looked at him, he was just looking at you and didn't do anything. So you just nodded to him "How are you Charles?" He said something  like "I'm fine" you smiled and he stopped looking at you. Even though you felt bad , you didn't show it Charles mumbled something and quickly left your side. You folded my arms over my chest "I don't understand, he is so good and loving to everyone, what did I do to him? Why does he hate me?" Daniel and Max watched Charles leave "I don't think that you are the problem, come on Y/N everyone loves you" Max said patting her shoulder. While Daniel was still looking after Charles with one eyebrow raised, Max tried to be subtle and hit Daniel's arm. Daniel quickly looked at you and smiled. "yes y/n don't be ridiculous Charles gets distracted sometimes I'm sure it has nothing to do with you" you bit the inside of your cheek and looked at them.
"I don't know, it happens like this every time, he either snaps at me or walks away from me like this." You tried not to think too much, but you were feeling down. "Anyway, I have to go, you also have work to do, see you later, okay?" You left Max and Daniel and walked through the paddock to find your brother.
After you left, Daniel and Max went to Charles, he was sitting alone behind the ferrari horpurality, watching the ground. Daniel sat next to Charles. "What's the matter, buddy, why are you acting like that to Y/N? The girl thinks you hate her." Charles looked at Daniel in shock. "H-hate? Oh no no no no.I...I don't hate her. "How could anyone hate her? She's so kind, sweet and thoughtful, and her smile, my god, she always smells so good-" His  cheeks turned red again when he thought about her. Max gently pushed Charles's head "dumbass. You like her but you make the girl sad. I thought you were smarter than that"
Charles rubbed his face nervously, "I didn't mean to upset her. She's just so nice and I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of her." Daniel put a hand on Charles' shoulder, "If you keep running away from her, you'll make her even more upset.At least chat with her a little.You should have seen her face when she said she thought you hated her. Don't hurt our girl man, she is the sweet little Y/N of all of us.Let's do it this way, come with us, she'll probably come back our side when she sees us, that way you won't be alone with her all the time and she'll know you don't hate her, come on." Charles found what Daniel said logical, but of course he didn't know that Daniel would not implement this plan.
Max, Daniel and Charles came towards where you were. You were sitting alone in the cafe. Max and Daniel quickly sat down. Charles remained standing. Daniel spoke quickly. "How hot is the weather. Charles, you were going to buy us drinks from the other side of the paddock. Right!" He said, pressing the word 'from the other side'. You looked at them incomprehensibly, this time Max spoke, "Well, he has two hands, how can he carry three drinks, look luckily YN's coffee is finished" you frowned cause it wasn't finished, "Come on YN, go get us drinks with Charles, we have some business with Daniel, we will be here anyway."
Even though Charles started to blush, this time he had nowhere to run. Y/N frowned but got up and walked next to Charles. Max and Daniel smiled slyly and waved after them as they walk away.Max took a sip of Y/N's unfinished coffee and turned to Daniel "Good job, man." Daniel laughed. "If he hurts that girl again, I'll kill Charles before her brother does." Max frowned "Does Carlos know?" Daniel looked at him as if to say 'Are you serious?' "Come on, it's obvious from a mile away that Charles likes her." Max shrugged and continued to watch the duo walk away with pleasure.

The Bats Are Fighting (Distaff Edition)
some conflicts I enjoy:
Babs is pretty hostile/judgy toward Helena at first & is bitterly upset and hurt when Helena starts wearing a Bat costume - apparently a Batgirl costume - without asking her. Later on, Bruce chases Helena out of the costume, and Babs gives Cass the Batgirl costume with her explicit blessing. Helena and Cass never have a rivalry over this exactly, but I don't think they ever really get along, either
Babs and Helena eventually make up when Babs lets Helena join the Birds of Prey but it's rocky in the beginning - Babs dislikes Helena's methods and doesn't entirely trust her; Helena resents being kept on the outside
Steph is super-impressed by Cass and tries to get her to like her and they eventually get close, but Cass has a pretty low opinion of Steph-as-a-vigilante and doesn't hesitate to boss her around or knock her out, and she's super-hurt by Steph lying to her about what's going on during War Games (probably not unrelated: Cass is the only Bat to blame Steph instead of Bruce after Steph dies)
Babs and Cass get very close but also have tensions because Babs wants Cass to have the 'normal' life that Babs thinks she should've tried harder to have when she was younger, and Cass isn't entirely comfortable with this pressure, plus - this one I think is a bit more well-known - Babs spends a lot of time tutoring Cass and looking after her (awww), BUT ALSO in a tense moment she gets really nasty and harsh about Cass's reluctance to learn to read and calls her "stupid"
Dinah finds Steph REALLY annoying and wants her to stop tagging around after her... until she finds out about Steph's miserable home life, and then she appears like an avenging angel and kicks Steph's dad and his cronies out of the house
Babs decides to work with a guy who tortured Dinah because she thinks he's capable of redemption and Dinah is NOT HAPPY about it
Just generally, Steph and Helena are very much outsiders who don't get brought into the "core" Batfam and who aren't trusted with info like Bruce's secret identity. By contrast, Babs is an insider almost from Day 1 - she may have conflicts with Bruce, but she's also got his absolute trust - and Dinah is as insider as it gets, with a mom who was also Black Canary and a stint on the JLA
other general characterization notes that cause Conflict (TM):
Babs is pretty much a classic Bat - she's got a ton of control issues and she's an instinctively secretive workaholic
Helena is an adult who will kill people if she damn well feels it's necessary and she doesn't appreciate being lectured about it
Steph is a defensive teenage outsider with a bucketload of family problems - deadbeat evil dad! addict mom! - and when she's upset she's got a reckless self-destructive streak
Cass is very much like Bruce in that 1) she is wildly super mega good at fighting, 2) she's an instinctive loner who's comically bad at people AND YET she can nevertheless effortlessly manage to head off to a foreign country for a weekend and have a passionately-felt mutual love affair with some random criminal or something, and then that person dies & she goes home like nothing happened, 3) she cares about other people but completely sucks at communication & when in doubt will just go silent & take off or refuse to have conversations, 4) because she hates talking sometimes she'll just knock you out or hit you so that she won't have to do it, 5) she will spend an entire year planning to have a fight to the death with someone for Reasons and tell no one about it because why would she tell someone
anyway they're all terrible <3

Korra Headcannons
Part one // Fluff // Korra x Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❥ Not in a relationship
She def tries to show off whenever she can if she sees you
Cocky but lowkey shy at the same time
Tries to act nonchalant when you compliment her (secretly loves it)
She tries to mimic how you act - thinking you'll like her more
Tells everyone about her crush on you, somehow hoping you wouldn't find out
Has a weird way confessing - she'll get her words mixed up and it'll sound more like a joke instead of an actual confession
If you are a bender - she'll try to train you (sometimes she ends up getting frustrated though)
If you aren't a bender, she'll use her bending to annoy you (as a way of flirting)
When you first become friends, Korra will be really outgoing
But as she grows feelings for you, she quiets down a bit because she's scared she might be too much for you (she isn't of course)
❥ In a relationship
Physical affection is a yes for her. Anything like cuddles and kisses she will absolutely agree to
Since she is the avatar, a lot of her time will be taken up, but as a way of apologising, she takes you out on dates (or makes homecooked meals)
She isn't the best cook, but she tries her best to make your favourite dishes
She'll talk about you with any chance she gets - "My partner is this and that"
Loves pulling little pranks on you - Jelly-legging, 'accidentally' tripping you
Not a fan of secrets, she'll poke at the situation until it eventually gets out of you
She'll date for the occasion - sometimes - but when she meets the one (you), she takes it seriously and will do anything to keep you. She want to (and will) marry the one she truly loves
Gets jealous easily, I think this is self explanatory
If you are tired of walking, she'll take it upon herself to carry you all the way back home
Gets icky about couples calling each other pet names, but does it herself
❥ Cuddling
Even though she loves acting like the 'lead' in the relationship, when cuddling, she is 100% the little spoon (unless you ask)
When you aren't looking, she'll hug you from the back and bury her head in your neck
If you live together, she most likely won't be there at night. In the morning, you'll find her loosely embracing you
While you two are hugging, she likes giving kisses in between, no matter where you two are (she doesn't give a damn about what people think about pda)
You can often feel her smile when she's hugging you - it's a sign she feels safe
When she's the big spoon, she'll occasionally kiss the top of your head until you fall asleep
Just a little something to feed you all while im writing 'Only with You' chapter one..

remember when
"Rhys bared his teeth. My limbs turned light, trembling at the dark power curling in the corners of the room. Not fear - never fear of him. But at the shattered control as Rhys snarled at Lucien, 'My mate may one day find it in her to forgive him. Forgive you. But I will never forget how it felt to sense her terror in those moments.' My cheeks heated, especially as Cassian and Azriel stalked closer, those hazel eyes now filled with a mix of sympathy and wrath. 
Lucien, to his credit, didn't back away a step. From Rhys, from me, or the Illyrians. 
The Clever Fox Stares Down Winged Death. The painting flashed into my mind."
(it's the "forgive you" for me lmfao like shut the actual fuck up)
he has the audacity to say this shit to lucien when two books prior -
"'You draw blood from me, Lucien, and you’ll learn how quickly Amarantha’s whore can make the entire Autumn Court bleed. Especially its darling Lady.'
'Oh? Here I was, thinking you still mourned your commoner lover after all these centuries,' Rhysand said, stalking toward me."
"'I knew you liked to stoop low with your lovers, Lucien, but I never thought you’d actually dabble with mortal trash.” My face burned. Lucien was trembling—with rage or fear or sorrow, I couldn’t tell. 'The Lady of the Autumn Court will be grieved indeed when she hears of her youngest son. If I were you, I’d keep your new pet well away from your father.'"
"'Amarantha will enjoy breaking her,' Rhysand observed to Tamlin. 'Almost as much as she'll enjoy watching you as she shatters her bit by bit.'" 
Those invisible claws lazily caressed my mind again - then vanished. I sank to the floor, curling over my knees as I reeled in everything that I was, as I tried to keep from sobbing, from screaming, from emptying my stomach onto the floor. "
(damn. i wonder how it felt to feel her terror in those moments 🤔)
anyway, friendly reminder that rhysand is the biggest fucking hypocrite in the series and feyre & co's self-righteous attitudes are absolutely insufferable 🤗

Hello! May I request fallout 4 companions (Nick especially) with Sole who shares the bare minimum of information about themselves? Not because Sole doesn’t trust them, they really enjoy theirs companions company. Perhaps they busy themselves so they don’t have to think about all the little and big things they miss. (I bet Codsworth would find pristine things that Sole would miss (like a favorite movie, vinyl, or comic?))
Sorry if its not something you’re interested in doing right now. The ask kinda came out as a ramble, I’m lacking sleep haha. Thanks again for considering my request!
》Honestly one of my favorite kinds of characters.
Tumblr media
【Cait】 She doesn't appreciate it. Her contract was traded to some random weirdo who barely says anything. It took three days before the topic of your name came up. And two weeks to know what you were looking for, who. But in return you don't ask what she does on her own time or what she's done. It feels like you don't mind rather than you don't care and that makes her feel seen. It stays between you unsaid in her eyes.
♡If romanced she doesn't push for any information. You'll tell her if it's important. People think it's weird the two of you to not share about yourselves like normal people but you're happy, that's all that matters.
【Codsworth】 It's just like it was before. He, unlike the others, already knows you. He knows you very well. Not only did you do an intake for daily preferences but he also served you for a few years. While you're out and about you'll do something or say something that sounds like no information to others or out of context and he'll answer, "Just as I was thinking as well." While you camp with some of the other companions he does chores the way you like without needing to ask, making comment on recent events, which makes them jealous for sure. He digs up things from the house he preserved or found and fixes them up brand new before presenting it to you. Songs you liked or wanted to hear. Movies and shows and comics. Clothes pressed for you and the furniture is redone the way it used to be. He knows you and wants to keep it that way.
【Curie】 Low-key doesn't care. She has one thing on her mind and that's her own goal to better medicine. Finding things to do that is all she needs of you. When she goes to be a synth her feelings overwhelm her and you guide her through that. She's never ever asked about you. She'll tell you about what she's feeling but never thinks to ask what you feel. In her defense, is doesn't understand the nuance of social interactions. And to her credit, it works for the both of you.
♡If she's romanced she realizes she wants to know what you feel and if it's the same as her. She's mostly interested in what you feel now rather than what your opinion is in the past or isn't currently relevant.
【Danse】 Right away he doesn't care for it. A mercenary who talks very little can be dangerous. But you followed orders well and are a damn good shot. The way he asks is more like demanding. It was all for a vetting process but still rude. After the intake he didn't care about your lack of openness. Didn't matter to him personally. After BB he suddenly regrets not knowing you. He was so rude and dismissed you as another faceless soldier and you saved him, from the Brotherhood and himself. Now he wants to know you.
♡If romanced he makes effort to know you, like really know you. For a long time he refused individuality so his own sense of self is not great. But you know yourself and make no attempt to hide it. You are so sure of yourself you don't need to explain. That's one of the things he loves about you.
【Deacon】 He thinks you're like him, that you want to hide in plain sight. As much as he gives that to you he's nosy as fuck and takes every chance to learn about you, mostly from afar. It doesn't take any time at all for him to realize you'll just tell him. Most of them are one word answers. It takes him even less time after that to realize you'll comment on things from before the war especially.
♡If romanced he goes out of his way to show you stuff. Old posters and toys. If you follow my headcanon that he's pre-war, he makes old references and generally adds comments on things to bait your answers.
【Hancock】 He thinks it's pretty cool. "Oh, tall, dark, and handsome/beautiful." He does play twenty questions with you 24/7 and is very happy with your half-answers because an answer is still an answer. Plus he knows at least two other people like you. He is the one who figures out that you just don't have the time or think about talking about yourself rather than purposely keeping secrets the fastest. He knows people so he knows better.
♡If romanced he plays with it. You want a kiss? Tell him what's your favorite color. He'll get on his knees if you tell him what you like about your new home. But honestly he'll do it anyways. All he needs to know is that you want him like he wants you.
【MacCready】 He was more concerned about you putting a bullet in his head while his back was turned. Everyone in the Commonwealth was looking out for number one. So imagine his surprise when you were looking out for your number one and it wasn't you. Not only were you looking for your son but you stopped to help every person who asked for help. Your actions spoke to him in a way your words, he figured, couldn't. You didn't need to help him but you did. You didn't take the caps back. And you killed the gunners the second they turned their guns on him even when they said their beef wasn't with you. It was what you did, not what you told him.
♡If romanced he will ask things. Basic ones are like, "How was your day?" Normal questions that are the peak of domestic life. Then the more personal things. Some sound silly, "What's your favorite color?" But most build off of a quick thing you said in passing, "Wait, you've been to California? What was it like?" He trusts you'll tell him the truth.
【Nick】 As a private detective this simply won't do. He gets it at first, you just need him to find your son, it's business. However, you want him to stay with you after that. It confuses him because you made no indication you like him in the slightest way. He's the second fastest to realize you're not keeping to yourself on purpose. As one of the only ones who are pre-war he's able to get things the others can't. He'll talk about things and give his options and bait you into answering it. That was a common way to get people to talk back then when you were trying to be polite and keep up the conversation, even if the conversation stays a bit thin.
♡If he's romanced he makes fun of the fact you forget to say things about yourself. Don't get it wrong, he makes it clear you don't need to share. He's just poking fun.
【Piper】 This simply won't do. She asks as many question as they come up but she gets depressing short answers. You either give one word answers or say you're not really in the mood, on some occasions you admit you don't know, you never thought about it. It takes a long time for her to stop and that's only because the questions start getting old. And you still feel like a mystery even though you've told her everything.
♡If she's romanced she realizes how much you've told her and pushes it. What is your type? How do your lips feel? Why do you look so good? It becomes playful and light, never serious.
【Preston】 In the beginning he didn't realize he didn't know much about you. He took your help selfishly to get him and his people back on stable ground but you told him you were happy to help. So he takes time to learn about you and give you everything he could possibly help you with. In hopes you would share by yourself he gives things to you without any prompt. It doesn't really work most of the time.
♡If romanced he asks things with hearts in his eyes. He is so lovesick he takes all of your half-answers and files it away in his mind. It hardly matters at that point.
【X6】 It wasn't his mission so he didn't care. You owed him no explanation or justification. Doesn't mean he doesn't question you. He asks why you helped someone, why you stopped for a distraction. And of course you give short answers like, "They needed help." or "I wanted to." Later, after the Institute is gone, he sees how you carry yourself and tries to copy it. Obviously he can't so you help him too. You showed him he can figure himself out by himself and he didn't need you. So he held the same opinion; he doesn't need to know you like that.
♡If romanced he's still comfortable with you keeping things to yourself. It's only after months of being together do you realize he's never asked you a personal question, that you've never shared anything that personal. When you bring that to him he tells you that hardly matters. But seeing you make the effort after that gives him a feeling he can't describe. It's a good feeling he thinks.

the sun will shine again
joel miller x f!reader
Tumblr media
A/N: just a little self indulgent something I wrote for comfort when I needed it, but maybe it can be a little reassuring hug for someone here as well? If you're struggling, please reach out to your local helplines, friends, family, doctors, teachers, coworkers - you're worthy of your existence on this planet, and you're not alone ❤️
Word count: 2k
Warnings: heavy themes. Depression, thoughts of suicide and intent, mentions of a weapon (gun), Joel struggles with feelings but he gets the message across, Ellie is Ellie with a little needed comic relief, hurt & much needed comfort
Tumblr media
You don't want it anymore. Any of it. You just want peace. You want to be able to wake without the lingering presence of something heavy weighing down on your heart, your soul. You want to be able to smile, and feel it curl on your lips knowing it's nothing but true, and it's not there hiding the ugly thoughts and feelings stirring in your mind. You just want to be happy.
Is that even possible? Does happiness even exist anymore? The world had been torn apart long ago - there is very little to smile for now. Maybe it wasn't worth the effort. Maybe this is all there is.
No.
No, this isn't all of it.
You're sure you feel happiness, even if it doesn't manage to make it across your features most of the time. You feel the tender warmth of it in your chest, the blissful ease of the never ending pressure threatening to crush you under its weight.
It happens now, despite the horrific events that seem to follow your footsteps. Ellie's a sweet thing. She hides it behind her stubbornness and sarcasm, but you spy a slight comfort building within her as time rolls on—a peace.
Joel mirrors it, and he fights it - God does he fight it. Of course you know why he keeps her at arms length, why he desperately fights to keep that void present, but lately, it's wavered. He smiles, laughs even. It's beautiful to witness. He deserves it all and so much more.
You on the other hand? The shadows have seemingly only grown outside of the QZ despite being free, creeping along and filling every vacant space in your mind. It's so damn heavy. Something's there, a presence that seems to know exactly when to strike with its poisonous words, and it's not long until a part of you starts to believe them.
You don't belong here. You don't deserve them. You don't deserve this. You should've died long ago. Why are you still here? They would be better off without you.
It's those thoughts that have you here now, staring numbly at the sun beginning to shine over the horizon with a weight in your hands. There's a harsh chill in the air that bites at your skin through your thick, tattered long sleeve, but you don't care. You won't be here when the snow eventually hits.
You had left your jacket draped over a sleeping Ellie, her cheeks and nose tinged pink from the low temperature. It wouldn't go to waste - she'll get a lot of use out of it. Your pack you'd left in its spot beside Joel's - he'll take whatever they need before they move off. You have nothing else of worth.
They'll be better off. You don't belong here. You don't belong anywhere. Everyone will be better off.
Your gaze drops to your hands where they cradle the handgun, the steel barrel now warm from your touch. You only have one bullet - you left the rest behind. You wouldn't need them, anyway. Joel'll get a use out of them. They'll both be safe.
Safer without you. Better without you.
So why can’t you do it? Why can’t you just get it over with? Why are you hesitating?
The last few months roll through your mind. Blurs of memories, of you and Joel, of you and Ellie, each one rolling through your mind and bringing that sweetly craved warmth back to your chest. You know why you’re hesitating.
It’s a battle between love and darkness, and you hate that the darkness is winning. You’re weak.
They deserve more than you.
“Watching the sunrise?"
The unexpected but familiar gravel has you jumping about a mile high out of your skin. Your head whips to where Joel is approaching quietly from behind, and you discreetly tuck the gun into the waistband of your jeans as you nod, forcing a strained curl of your lips.
"It's a nice view," he continues quietly, voice still roughened from the few hours of sleep he managed to get. "I wasn't expectin' you to be gone so long."
He had been resting when you left the little campsite, eyes closed and merely grunting in reply when you mentioned needing a bit of privacy. How long had it been since you left? How long had you been dragging your feet in carrying this shit out?
"I got distracted," you explain weakly, shifting slightly over on the unforgiving boulder you sit on so he can rest on it beside you, "sorry."
He notices your clear lack of jacket.
"You cold?"
"No," you lie.
He's watching you, studying you. You can feel it. You keep your eye on the horizon, taking in the pastel mix of blues and oranges stretching across the sky as the sun starts to rise further above the landscape in an effort to escape his scrutiny.
"You needin' these?"
Glancing towards him, you watch as he sticks his hand down the front pocket of his jeans before holding it out to you, noting the bullets rolling around his palm. Your bullets. There's something hanging in his gaze as it remains heavily fixed on you. Maybe a slight edge of suspicion? Challenge?
You don't manage to hold it long enough to find out.
"Uh, not that I know of. I think I'm good."
He makes a low noise of thought, "Alright. Well, why don't you let me check. Better to be safe than sorry, right?"
"Joel—"
"Come on."
The cold's long seeped into your bones now. You weren't meant to take this long. Another thing you can't do right. Moving takes a small bit of effort, your fingers now numb as they struggle to keep a firm grip on the weapon and pass it over.
Joel swiftly pops open the cylinder once he has the gun in hand, taking a long, quiet moment to examine the one single bullet residing in there. His thumb briefly brushes over the top surface of it, before readying the other bullets in between the grasp of his fingers.
"Not gettin' far with only one," he comments dryly, nimbly filling the cylinder and then flicking it shut with a noticeable click.
He doesn't give it back to you.
Instead, he reaches behind his back and tucks the gun down the waistband of his jeans beside his own, before fixing his jacket above them. He sighs, a deep heave of breath that blows out from his lips with a wispy cloud that carries away with the breeze as he seems to lose himself in thought.
You say nothing. There's nothing for you to say.
"Don't you ever," he starts thickly, voice cutting suddenly through the quiet, "think about doin' that again, you hear me?"
"Do what?"
You feign ignorance.
Whether it's because you don't want to acknowledge your earlier thoughts, or Joel to know about any of it, you don't know. It's silly—he would've found you eventually anyway. Maybe you're just a coward and don't want to face the reality of what he would think of you.
"Don't play with me—not about this.”
An apology sits on your tongue, but it doesn't make it past your lips. You should've known better than to play him as the fool. Joel's anything but stupid. He probably saw through you the instant he laid eyes on you sitting in the cold morning light without a jacket.
“I don’t say it, and maybe I should start, but I can’t lose you,” he rasps, deep brown eyes falling away from your face to follow the soft swirls of the clouds, “I can’t. And I know that’s selfish of me to say, I know it’s not what I should say when you’re feelin’ like this, but—Jesus. Ellie wants you here, needs you here. I need you here, and I know you’re carryin’ a lot in that head of yours but—I just... I’m here for you, alright?”
“Joel—”
“Quiet.”
Your mouth snaps shut immediately.
“I know it’s a lot, and I know it hurts—believe me honey, I know it fuckin’ hurts, and you’re tired and the other side just seems so damn good… but it’s not. It’s not. You… you can’t do that. God, you just can’t.”
The wind chills the hot tears that spill down your cheeks until they feel like ice. He looks at you then, as if sensing the heart ache making wet paths along your skin.
You’re weak.
His hands are hot as they cradle your face carefully, roughened calloused palms covering your cheeks and soothing away the agony filled droplets with a quick brush of his thumbs.
You can’t help but turn into the touch, your own hands coming to wind around his wrists in an effort to keep him close. He’s so warm. You let out the lungful of oxygen you’d been holding onto in your worry, watching the fog of it hang between your faces before fading away.
“I don’t know what to do, Joel,” you admit in a choked whisper, eyes dropping from something close to shame, “My head… I-I don’t know how to fix this—”
His hands press tighter against your cheeks as he angles and holds your face until your eyes are flicking up to meet his. Sincerity fills them, mixing with the ever present concern he hides behind those high almost impenetrable walls. It’s hard to focus on anything but him.
“It’s gonna take time, and it’s gonna be damn hard, but I want you to put it on me, understand? Put it all on me. I’ll carry what you’re strugglin’ with, alright? Hell, I’ll carry you. For as long as I need to. For the rest of my—fuck. Just—just let me help you. Please.”
He wants to do that? For you?
“What if it’s too much?”
“Then we’ll handle it together, like we’ve handled shit hundreds of times before.”
A few more moments of searching his eyes and you’re breathing a quiet okay. The heaviness still rests unforgivingly on your mind, but maybe you won’t struggle so much if someone was there to help you carry the load. Maybe, with time, it would get lighter.
That’s what you could fight for—the days where it won’t hold you down, and threaten to break you completely. The days where, maybe, it won’t be there anymore. Is that even a possibility? It doesn’t matter, you think you’re willing to find out.
His own eyes flicker between yours when your voice reaches his ears, before he gives a slight, barley there nod. His throat bobs with a swallow and then he’s resting his forehead against yours in apparent relief, lashes brushing his cheeks as his eyes flutter closed.
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t ever need to be.”
“I fucking knew you guys were a thing.”
Ellie’s voice suddenly picks up from the tree line, her heavy feet trudging through the dense forest floor with the crunch of leaves and the snap of branches. Joel’s hands drop as he pulls away with a slight frown, levelling it on the girl making her way over, but it doesn’t seem to deter her in the slightest.
Despite missing the physical reassurance from Joel, you welcome the change Ellie unknowingly brings to the heavy atmosphere. You even manage a small smile, and it doesn’t feel strange as it stretches along your lips. There it is again—that lovely warmth from within you.
This is it. This is what you want, what you have. It’s just buried most of the time, but—but it’s definitely there. You weren’t imagining it. It’s there.
You’ll fight for it. You’ll fight for her, for Joel. You’ll fight for your peace.
“You didn’t need to hide it for so long—I’m not fucking stupid. I appreciate the jacket, by the way, but I don’t need you turning into an ice block on me,” she says, dumping your warm jacket over your shoulders before moving to your side and looking out towards the sunrise. “Holy shit, look at that view.”

MEIII!!!! Hope you had a good day!!!!
I was thinking 🤔🤔🤔 an ex gf of Hotch comes to work w the BAU & they hadn’t told anyone abt it but the Bau girls help R unpack find photo albums old pictures of her and their boss (hot)
You had intended to be more careful when letting your new teammates dig through boxes in your apartment, but they had each brought over bottles of wine as housewarming gifts, and the first thing you'd come across were your glasses. So now that there's a healthy buzz over your brain, making it just a little bit hard to focus, you don't notice Penelope reaching into the box that says memories.
She squeals at a baby picture of you, an album full of your childhood memories in her hands. You think nothing of it, still slightly intoxicated to where you don't forsee the next album she'll pick up. Emily and JJ flock to her side, crooning and cooing over your past self, but when they shut the album and reach for the next, and your brain finally switches on, you're not fast enough to stop them.
"Woah, that guy- holy shit," Emily laughs, her own mind clouded as she points sloppily at the man kissing your cheek in the first photo, "That guy looks like Hotch."
JJ snorts, but Penelope falls silent.
Of course, you think, of course she's seen pictures of when he was younger. You'd expect nothing less from the BAU's resident snoop.
"That is Hotch," She breathes, alcohol be damned as she puts the puzzle pieces together, "Oh my god, you dated Hotch!"
"Oh," Emily laughs, eyes wide and giddy and dazed, "You dated Hotch!"
"I- I didn't date Hotch," You huff exasperatedly, wine forgotten on the counter, "I dated a man from law school. He was not the same person."
"You mean this was before someone shoved a stick up his ass?" JJ eyes you incredulously, "I thought it was placed there at birth."
"He doesn't have a stick up his ass!" You feel the inexplicable urge to defend your boss, despite him having left you reeling in college, "He's- he's got issues. Stuff you don't even know about. Everyone does, we've all- we've all got issues."
"What happened?" Penelope asks, her voice soft and worried, "He didn't cheat on you, did he?"
"No!" You let out a huffy laugh, "No, he didn't cheat on me. We just parted ways because- well, our schedules were tight. We never saw each other, when I had a day off he was working, and vice versa. He wanted someone with a more adjustable schedule."
"That's not fair," Penelope's eyes glaze over with tears, that you're sure are only partially from the wine she's consumed, "That's not fair, to stop loving someone because they're busy. He was busy too, what- why were you the problem?"
"It wasn't like that," You gush, but it was entirely like that, "Listen, we were both stressed all the time. I don't know if you've ever tried to be lawyers, but it sucks. And- and we never saw each other, and we were young, and stupid, and we hated our jobs but we couldn't quit, and- and it was a mess! And I'm glad," You peter off your emotional speech with a soft whimper, "I'm glad he found someone who had the time to love him. Because both of us deserved that, just-" You sniffle, your eyes stinging with tears, "Only one of us got it."
"Oh, honey," JJ laments, reaching for you with both hands now that her wine glass is set aside. You dodge her hands, though, excusing yourself with a shitty excuse and a hurried walk to the bathroom.
There's no tissues. Of course there's no tissues, you haven't had a moment to live in this apartment since you'd set foot in it. Work was always getting in the way, like it had for your entire life.
You're not angry at Aaron for leaving you. You weren't a good fit for each other, not with your careers taking off as they were. In all honesty, you might have broken up with him yourself if it had gone on any longer. But you're jealous in a way, that he found someone who had the time for him while you didn't. And that's not his fault, you shouldn't be resentful that he found love just because you didn't. Your feelings for him comes from loneliness, not anger. But they read the same, and you're sure your new teammates think you're silently raging at your new unit chief.
After a quick wash of your face in the sink and a makeshift toilet paper tissue, you step back out into the living room, three pairs of eyes trained immediately on you.
"I appreciate that you're taking my side here," You hum, a knot in your throat the size of a fist, "But it's a closed matter. We haven't spoken in years, and I feel like we still haven't. He's different now, he's not the man I dated, and I would like it if you would be able to forget that this happened."
Emily is the first to speak up, "Okay. Okay, honey, we understand. But- but please don't ignore your feelings if they're starting to resurface. At the very least, you deserve closure."
"And hey," JJ smiles, trying to look eager but looking mostly sad, "If you wanna give things another shot, he's single and you work with him. At least all the time you spend working now is with him, too."
"Yeah," You let out a light chuckle, still bogged down by the ghost of the tears you'd wiped away in the bathroom. Penelope can't take it anymore, and rushes in for a squeeze.
"Oh, sweetheart," She gushes, "It'll work out! I bet you're gonna have this crazy-sweet second chance romance kind of thing, and we'll all be at your wedding!"
"Slow down," You laugh, thankful that you have her shoulder to snuggle into, "We haven't even acknowledged that we used to date yet. Let's wait until the proposal to start talking about the wedding."
A good-natured laugh is shared throughout your small apartment, and the photo album is set back in its box for safekeeping. They give you the courtesy of unpacking it yourself, just in case any stray memories come to haunt you. You're grateful for it, and it's easy to slip back into your wine-fueled giggle fest while working on your bookshelf instead.
--
Mere miles away, Aaron is sitting on the floor of his bedroom. There's a photo album in his lap, one half of a pair, the other half of which he hopes isn't in a landfill somewhere. His eyes are trained on a photo you'd taken on winter break from your sophomore year of school, skis strapped to your feet and poles in your hands as Aaron hugged you from behind. You'd done the Titanic pose on the side of the ski hill, your arms outstretched and Aaron's face twisted over your shoulder to gaze endearingly at you. It's a blurry photo, because your friends had taken it from the bottom of the slope, but the memories of it are crisp in his head.
He hears the patter of little feet down the hallway, and doesn't have the energy to close the book before Jack sees it.
"Daddy?" His son's little voice asks, "Who's that?"
"Do you recognize," He hums, flipping to a clearer picture of the two of you, and pointing to himself, "Him?"
Jack's face scrunches, nose wrinkled and eyes squinted, "Is that you, daddy?"
"It is me," Aaron chuckles, "I looked younger, huh?"
"Yeah," Jack nods emphatically, poking at his dad's cheeks, 'Now you have wrinkles."
Aaron scoffs, "Thanks, bud. What'cha need?"
"I'm just bored," Jack huffs, looking back at the picture displayed in the book, "That's not Mommy. Why are you kissing her?"
"I met her before I met your mommy," Aaron hums, ghosting his pointer finger over the page, "But we broke up. Then your mommy and I got married."
"Why did you break up?" Jack cocks his head to the side, "You didn't love her as much as Mommy?"
"I loved her," Aaron muses, "But we both had really busy jobs. And we never saw each other, so it made us sad. So we broke up so that we wouldn't be so sad anymore."
"Oh." Jack frowns, "Okay. I'm sorry you were sad."
"It's okay, buddy," Aaron slings an arm around Jack's side, kissing his chubby cheek, "I'm not sad anymore. Well- sort of. Do you know why I'm looking at these pictures?"
Jack shakes his head, "Mm-mm. Why?"
"She joined my team," Aaron informs his son, watching the gears in his brain turn. "So I'm a little bit sad now, because seeing her makes me remember how sad I was when we broke up."
"But," Jack drags out the vowel, "If she's on your team now, then you see her all the time! And you were sad because you didn't get to see her, but now you can be happy again!"
"That's- uh, kind of." Aaron shuts the book, turning to face Jack fully, "I think I might be a little bit sad forever about us breaking up."
"Forever," Jack frowns, relying heavily on the fact that he's been told he'll never be sad forever, "Why?"
"Because we can't fix it." Aaron sighs, "We can't go back in time and stay together."
"But you can date her now," Jack prods, and wow, Aaron needs to give him more credit, "Why do you have to be sad forever?"
"You'd be okay with me dating someone else?" Aaron asks carefully, "Someone who isn't your Mommy?"
"It it makes you happy again," Jack nods, "I don't want you to be sad forever, Daddy."
Aaron's struck with tears that he tries to tamp down. His nose runs, and he sniffles shakily, "Thank you, bud. You're sweet, you know that?"
"Mm-hm," Jack nods, "Penny tells me."
"Yes she does," Aaron laughs, a watery sound as he pulls Jack in for a hug, "Every time she makes you cookies, she tells you you're sweeter. You should know by now."
"So," Jack gets right to the point, "Are you gonna date her again, Daddy?"
"I don't know," Aaron hums, "Maybe. I have to ask her, first. And I don't think I should ask her right away."
"You should share your lunch with her," Jack instructs, "I gave Ellie one of my oreos at lunch, and now she's my girlfriend."
Aaron's brows raise, "Wow. Do you like having a girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Jack nods simply, "She's nice to me. We take turns pushing each other on the swings."
"Well, maybe we'll both have girlfriends soon," Aaron grins at his son, "Do you think we should go out on a double date? Like, we both take our girlfriends out to eat together?"
"Yeah!" Jack shouts, enthused by the idea, "We should go to get ice cream, though. Ellie really likes chocolate."
"Okay," Aaron chuckles, letting Jack wander off to pick through his toy box, renewed hope in his chest at the thought of sitting side-by-side with you in an ice cream parlor, "Sounds like a plan, bud!"

Mizu x Cowgirl! reader headcanons -Mizu x fem!reader -hi so I totally don't have a self insert that is a cowgirl and want to share my ideas about this LMAO -but seriously, I love this idea and idc if a cowboy wouldn't be here during this time period. We're here to have fun -comments and reblogs are appreciated :](pls I love readin comments and interacting with yall)
Tumblr media
Sfw:
Okay so....wow
You are a completely different life form to Mizu
Your clothes? Crazy.
Your cowgirl hat will be the first thing she would notice, cause what type of that???
Leather pants with chaps on top
damn bro? who dressed you?
Your accent is also strange, why do you talk like that?
Ofc she will see you as a threat at first cause who are you and where did you even come from...plus that revolver in your side holster ain't helping
But once you proved yourself to her you don't mean harm, you're allowed to hang- you would score more brownie points with her
Mizu would def be intrigued by your backstory and why you're here in Japan
Late night talks by the fire
Even sneaking off to show her star gazing and small stories to share about the stars
Play guitar? Show off to her
Sing her songs and little bops you've learned or made on your own
Would die if you wrote one about her
You tame horses like it's nothing and its impressive to her
impressed more in you can ride without a saddle
Your lasso?
See wants to see you use it
has some thoughts of you tying up your enemies while fighting...
Once you guys develop a romantic relationship, she'll be excited but nervous
Excited cause you're great and accept her, but you guys are from two different cultures and lives
Will it work out?
Ofc it will...cause I say so
Will try on your cowgirl hat and do finger guns, even do impressions on you
Hasn't smiled this much in so long, it's like you casted a spell of some sort
Let her ride your horse with her
You have a fun side but also your serious side
Impressed when she sees you FINALLY use a sword like she taught your
speaking of that
she will force you to let her train you to sword fight instead of always relying on that damn revolver
She is impressed you can fight, but just not sword fight
Will hug and praise you in private about it later
"You should've seen yourself...You did so well, so beautiful wielding the sword,"
Will be willing to try your culture's food, even if she doesn't like it, she will appreciate it
When you get mad, and your accent gets thicker...sorry she can't keep up with what you're saying
But!!!
She loves to see you defend her, even if you're really outspoken
Specially with Taigen? Yeah, even though she can fight her own battles
Her favorite line? When you yelled at Akemi for crying too loud during the tea house situation
"Stop cryin' before I give you somethin' to cry about, girl.."
idk she loved see a spoiled girl being put in her place
but she knows you mean well
You were different but a good difference in her life <3
Nsfw:
going back to that damn lasso
wants you to tie her up, she's seen you do it and trusts you fully
would want to learn from you, for sexual and non-sexual reasons
LOVES to ride your strap
and yes
you make her follow the "hat rule"
hates it
but in the moment, she doesn't care too much, and will wear it
when you ride her? You wearin' it
now she sees why you love it
Your accent with dirty talk? Makes her weak in the knees
especially when your whisper in her ear
Your soft yet rough nature makes the sex life 10x better to her
You tell her something one night as a joke
"Save a horse, ride a cowgirl"
and she did
and loved it cause you made sure the ride was rough and wild
making love after star gazing? Yes pls
By the fire? Mhmm
Your soft voice with after care as well? Makes her so giddy and helps put her to sleep fast <3

"Hey, [name]!" Hearing a faint shout from behind her, she turns around whilst taking off her earphones. She is met by Takeomi and a woman who were making their way through the airport crowd.
She also starts to walk towards them, her black suitcase dragging behind her. 
As soon as she was an arm's distance from them, Takeomi pulled her into a hug. Despite cringing slightly, [name] couldn't stop her lips from perking up into a soft smile. 
"How are ya, [name]?" Takeomi asks her, pulling away. She replies with a faint 'good' before Takeomi is pushed away by the woman who was beside him.
"Hello [name]-chan, it's so nice to meet you." The red-head woman offers a handshake which [name] accepts. 
"Hello, Rika-san, and likewise. Again, I'm really sorry for not attending the wedding, I had crucial exams that week." [name] replies, maintaining her professional tone.
"Awhh, that's no problem honey, also relax, you sound so stiff!" Rika chuckles. 
"I don't- this is how I talk." [name] says, tilting her head slightly. 
"Damn, I'm still not used to you talking so politely, architecture uni really killed your attitude, didn't it?" Takeomi laughs out.
"Or maybe it's cause I'm no longer 17." [name] rolls her eyes. 
"I definitely spoke too soon, the attitude is still there! Anyways, give me your luggage so we can leave already, I hate airports." Takeomi shudders and takes the suitcase from her.
"Honestly, you and your dislike for airports." Rika scolds jokingly but nonetheless follows her husband.
Tumblr media
The ride home was quite enjoyable in [name]'s opinion. Rika and she kept chatting away, especially the former, but she did get questions about her job thrown at her which she answered happily. 
[name] had worked extremely hard to get into this profession so, of course, she'll speak proudly of it.
After some time, they finally reached home. When Takeomi was pulling up the car, she noticed her brother, Wakasa, walking out the front door. 
As the car halts, she immediately jumps out and goes to hug her brother, and he does so without any complaints. 
"I missed you..." He smiles into the embrace. 
"Obviously not enough to come pick me up." [name] rolls her eyes playfully. He grunts at her comment but smiles when he notices that she has started to become comfortable showing more emotions.
"Okay, come on, let's go inside. Freshen up, I'll prepare some food."
Tumblr media
It had been a day since she arrived back in Japan, 24 hours yet she still hadn't seen the person she longed for the most. 
Right now she sat at the dining table across from Takeomi and his wife, as Wakasa cooked dinner.
She was wearing a pair of comfortable shorts but was wearing a white formal dress shirt since she had just gotten off an online meeting a few minutes ago.
Not being able to contain her thoughts of the pink-haired girl, she confronts Takeomi about it.
"Takeomi-nii, where's Senju?" [name] finally let the question spill. Takeomi freezes. She also didn't miss how Wakasa momentarily paused his cooking. 
"What..?" she asks hesitantly, her mind filled with awful thoughts.
"[name], Senju...she uh.." Takeomi lets out some incoherent babble not knowing what to say. 
"Nii-san?" she turns to her brother this time who also froze up, not giving a proper explanation.
[name] immediately stands up and runs out ignoring her brother's calls from behind her. The cold air hit bare legs. 
She doesn't pay mind to her shorts that keep riding up with every speeding step. She took in heavy breaths but didn't stop till she reached Senju's apartment building. 
Finally halting, takes a moment to recover her breath. Entering the building she first checks the nameplates. 
If [name] remembered correctly, the Akashis' flat was 703. And she was correct, except that instead of Takeomi's name, the apartment seemed to be owned by Akashi Senju.
PING!
She heard the elevator open from behind her. She turns to see a few people emptying out of the elevator, when it is finally clear of people she enters the elevator. 
Pressing the 7th floor she secretly admires the interior of the elevator. She couldn't believe how much this building had changed over 10 years.
The elevator door opens up as it reaches the 7th floor and instantly walks out of it. Walking along the corridors she searched for the door with the number '703'.
Her eyes finally catch the said number and her feet move her towards it. Her vision slightly darkened due to her nervousness but still found the strength to ring the doorbell.
Immediately, she hears a few shuffles as a few footsteps grew closer to the door.
The door swung open as [name]'s face brightened at the thought of finally seeing Senju again.
Except, it wasn't.
Instead of seeing Senju's light pink hair, she was greeted by light brown hair. 
"Yes..?" The shorter woman in front of her spoke. 
"Oh-um...is Senju here?" [name] asks in a faint whisper, suddenly losing her voice, her head instinctively lowers to face her feet.
"[name]?" The other questions in a shocked tone. [name] snaps her head back up, taking a moment to realize who she is speaking to.
"Yuzuha?" She questions, her heart beginning to pound. 
"Ugh, who is it love?" [name] hears a familiar voice, noticing how it had grown slightly mature. 
The girl that she loved walked into the frame, her eyes widening at the sight of [name]. 
Senju sucked in a breath, shock embedded on her face as she stared at [name] with guilt in her eyes.
"Um, [name] please come in..." Yuzuha moves out of the way. [name] mindlessly agrees, taking off her shoes and walking in. 
She was so stunned she failed to notice her actions.
"You both should talk, I'll be inside if you need me." Yuzaha gives a sad smile and walks further into the apartment.
Their lips were sealed shut, both were unable to start the conversation, that was until [name] noticed a shiny rock on Senju's ring finger.
"You're married?" [name] asks. Following her gaze, Senju lifts her hand and fidgets with the ring.
"No, just engaged." Senju replies with a quiet voice.
"Since when?"
"Just now actually..." Senju answers.
[name] closes her eyes, her head tilting back slightly as she accepts the reality of the situation. Her roughed-up appearance made sense now.
They were going to have sex.
[name] felt her throat close up, her heart frantically beating in an unpleasant way. 
Oh, it hurts...
It hurts so much. 
She only now realized how much pain Senju had been put through during their teenage years.
"[name]...I-" 
"Don't." [name] interrupts her.
"It doesn't matter." She continues, releasing a heavy breath. 
"[name] please-"
"Stop Sen-"
"NO, LET ME SPEAK!" The shorter female says raising her voice. [name] stills.
"I- I'm sorry, [name]." Senju's voice wavers as she apologizes.
"Sorry about what?" [name] snaps, her question coming out more stern than she intended.
"I- I-" Senju starts but is cut off when [name] sighs sadly.
"You're sorry that you moved on from me? You're sorry that you broke your promise that you'd wait for me? You're sorry that you're engaged?" [name] asks her.
Senju says nothing except look at the floor guiltily. [name] lets out another sigh.
"You found someone you love and makes you happy. You have nothing to be sorry about Senju." [name] says. 
"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Senju asks, finally meeting eyes with [name]. Her vision blurred with tears noticing the [name]'s countenance.
"Like what?" 
"Like you're disappointed in me..." Senju replies in a whisper.
"I am disappointed, but not at you. I am disappointed in myself because I let you down for so long. So if it's anyone that should be sorry, it's me." [name] says but Senju denies shaking her head, tears rolling down her face.
"Please Senju, you just got engaged. Please don't ruin such a happy occasion crying over someone like me..." [name] turns and walks closer to the door.
When she finished wearing shoes, a broken sob reached her ears. 
[name] refused to turn around, because she was aware that if she did, she would break completely.
As much as she wanted to comfort her, [name] knew...
Senju was no longer hers to comfort.
"Goodbye, Senju." [name] says and walks out, pulling the door shut behind her.
Tumblr media
[name] walked into the convince store hoping to buy some ice cream. As much as she hated sweets, she wanted something extremely cold.
She hoped to get a brain freeze while eating it, that might help to cool her raging thoughts. 
Once reaching the ice cream section, she gets distracted by the alcohol refrigerator right next to it. Against her better judgment, her hand reaches for the sake bottle.
Five minutes later she was sitting on the pavement with two beers and a pack of cigarettes. 
After realizing she didn't have enough money on her to pay for sake she decided to settle for a can of beer and a cigarette pack. The second beer came with the buy one got one free offer, a total steal honestly.
Although she was never a fan of drinking or smoking, the night called for it. She stands up and decides to savor the commodities in her hands at her favorite spot. 
Reaching the rooftop of the abandoned building, she reminisces about the moments spent at the bowling area that was just a floor beneath her. 
It was her and Mikey's favorite spot.
Oh my god, Mikey...
She hadn't seen him since that day, and honestly, she was glad. She certainly didn't have the courage to face him.
She sat down near the door, knowing she'll be drunk off her ass in the next few minutes, and wanted to avoid any accidents just because she couldn't cope with a stupid heartbreak. 
She took out a single cigarette and placed it between her lips going to light it a bit then realized, she didn't have a lighter...
Letting out a grunt of frustration at her foolishness she places the stick back into the box. She clenched her teeth in anger knowing she just spent 500 yen on cigarettes that couldn't even use.
Despite wanting to chuck the pack away, she didn't. Instead, she held it close.
They were of Benson & Hedges, Shinichiro's favorite brand. 
[name] sighs. This is why she left, just a day back in Japan and she's already depressed. She wished she had never come back, she was happy in the Philippines, but again, she couldn't just leave her brother behind.
She opens one of the beer cans and starts sipping from it. 
Knowing that her alcohol tolerance was non-existent she only decided to drink just a bit, making sure to stay coherent enough to walk down multiple stairs and go back home.
But of course, God has never been on her side, has he?
Sips turned into gulps and within the next minute, she had already started sipping on the second can. 
She didn't know if it was the slight anger towards Senju, or because she was here on the rooftop, but she found her thoughts slipping from Senju to Mikey.
She smiles fondly remembering how much this place meant to her, to them.
They had shared many firsts here. Actually, except for their first kiss, every other first happened here.
The first time they drank, the first time they tried to smoke, first proper confessions, first date, first 'I love you's, the first time they--
[name] cringed at the memory, she couldn't believe how reckless they both were at the time, but what did two 14-year-olds know at that time?
That's what love did, it made them feel like they were the only ones here, and it truly made them feel invincible.
Love is such a dangerous emotion for someone so young, but they both fell into its captivity without realizing it.
They say that an average person falls in love three times.
The first love. The type of love that happens at a young age which is frequently referred to as puppy love. 
It feels euphoric at that time and being young and inexperienced doesn't make you understand what you truly feel.
As you get older, you think back to it and try to figure out if it was really love.
Mikey was her first love.
Then comes the second love.
It is said to be the painful one, it's the one that helps you grow. 
It's said to come with a lot of pain, lies, betrayal, drama, and so on...
And although she was grateful Senju never put her through all this, she wouldn't deny that Senju was her second love.
Lastly, it's the third love.
It's usually the one.
[name] could only wonder when she'll find her third love. 
It's said to come blindly; when your soulmate just walks into your life unexpectedly--
"[name]...?" A soft yet stern speaks from behind her.
[name] felt her heart drop and her breath got stuck in her throat. 
Just when she was having an inner monologue about love he just had to walk into her life again, didn't he?!
"M-Mikeyy...~" [name] slurs turning to face him. 
"What are you doing?!" Mikey raises his voice in shock seeing how drunk she is. 
"Oh just thinking about all the times we fucked here, why else would I be here?" [name] smiles although in her mind she cringes, not believing she some something like that.
'I am never drinking again.' [name] promises herself.
"Come on, I'll take you home..." Mikey walks towards her and takes hold of her wrist. 
"No! Come sit and d-drink with m-*hic* me~" She tugs him closer but he doesn't budge.
"[name], lets go." He says sternly once again, but she only shakes her head.
"No- come on just a drink, just like old times~" [name] pushes her half-empty can of beer into his face. 
He sighs in defeat and takes it from her.
"If you insist." but instead of drinking, he chucks the can over his shoulder obviously not realizing how much force he used because it ended up falling over the roof and landing on the road with a soft clatter.
[name] gaped at him in shock.
"No! Why did you do that?!" She stands up immediately and goes to push him, only to miss and trip over her own feet.
Luckily, he stopped her fall. [name] looks back at him, only to realize she was seeing two of him, her vision suddenly blurred as she felt herself sobering up at the sight of him.
She finally got a good look at his face, and for a second the same feeling of love filled her stomach. 
"Manjiro..." Her vision clears up and her eyes fall on the dragon tattoo on his neck. 
Lifting her hand she traces the ink on his neck, slowly striding closer, and instinctively places her lips on his. 
But to her disappointment, he doesn't respond and pulls away within the very second. 
They both stand in silence trying to understand the situation. She was surprised by her own actions, the shock sobering her up completely.
She takes a few steps back and starts apologizing.
"I'm sorry, that was very out of line...that was definitely not fair to your girlfriend." [name] says, the words spilling out before she can stop them.
"Oh? So it's fair to me?" Mikey replies haughtily. [name] shakes her head.
"It's unfair to you too..." She looks away, unable to muster up to courage to look at him.
"Hmm, don't worry about it. Plus, I don't have a girlfriend." He replies.
"Oh, boyfriend...?" She asks.
"No boyfriend either, [name]." Mikey says.
"Then...why did you pull away?" She asks nervously looking down at her feet.
"Maybe because we're not together? Also, the fact that you're drunk?" He replies with a soft voice.
"R-right...also, I'm not drunk. I just got a bit tipsy and wasn't thinking straight, so sorry for that..." 
[name] felt emotionally distraught, and Mikey didn't fail to notice that.
"Come on, I'll take you home." Mikey says but [name] just shakes her head.
"No, I don't want to go there right now..." She wraps her hands around herself to provide some sort of warmth.
"Then where do you wanna go?" Mikey asks; taking off his jacket and wrapping it around her figure. 
Such gestures, it all felt so natural.
"You place...?" [name] asks hesitantly. Mikey sighs in disapproval.
"[name]..." Although he couldn't imagine leaving her so he agreed silently.
Tumblr media
He took her to the Sano Residence on his CB250T. She was impressed to see how well he managed to maintain the bike even after so many years.
"I see you still live here." [name] smiles softly.
"This place has too many memories, I couldn't leave." Mikey smiles back.
"Is Grandpa in? I figure he's sleeping right now?" [name] asks.
"[name], he passed away years ago..." Mikey replies, his voice wavering. She looked at him in shock as this was the first she ever heard of it.
"What? When?!"
"A year after you left..."
"So, you've been living here all by yourself...?" She questions with a small frown.
"Pretty much." He replies and starts to guide her into the house.
It wasn't fair. He had been through so much, he had lost so many people.
His Mother, Father, Shinichiro, Baji, Draken, Emma, Izana, and His Grandfather.
And [name] left him as well...
"Why the long face?" Mikey brings his index fingers to the side of her lips and slightly pulls them up into a smile.
[name] giggles like every other time he did this gesture when they were young.
"Nothing..."
"Come on, tell me." he insists.
"I just- I'm not saying this is an insensitive way but, I feel like this house holds so many sad memories. I couldn't imagine being strong enough to put up with everything...does that make sense?" [name] rambles on.
"It's true, this place has seen such sad moments but at the end of the day, this house is a part of me. I couldn't imagine leaving this place. Hopefully, I'll find someone to make new memories here with..." Mikey trails off.
"O-oh...do you have someone in mind already?" [name] tries to keep her voice strong but a stutter manages to slip in.
"Honestly, I always thought of it being you..." he says with a sad smile. 
"Do you still love me, Manjiro?" She brings up the courage to ask the question.
"Yeah...I do." 
"Then why did you pull away?!" 
"Because you don't love me back, [name]! You know what?! I am so sick of this! Even when we were broken up 10 years ago, every time you found yourself frustrated with Senju, you came to me. Ever since then you always kept me as your second option, and I hate that!" Mikey snaps at her.
[name] goes to defend herself but gets interrupted.
"Don't think I'm stupid [name]! I know exactly why you were drunk and crying just now, it's because you found out about Senju and Yuzuha didn't you? I was just trying to be a decent person and comfort you but then you went and kissed me, trying to distract yourself like you always do!
You did that before you left too! And I was so blinded by what I felt for you that I agreed with everything you did, not even considering the fact you were just using me as a goddamn stress reliever! Can't you see that what you did hurt me as well!" 
Mikey's eyes filled with regret, he hadn't meant to snap at her but he had a limit as well.
"Manjiro I- I'm sorry that I made you feel that way...I didn't realize it I swear! At that time, running away always seemed to be the best option, but I never realized how many people I ended up hurting in the process..." [name] trailed off, her eyes welled up tears that she instantly blinked away. 
After all, she had no right to cry.
"It's alright...I'm also at fault for leaving you like that." Mikey reasons.
"But you did that to protect me, to protect everyone. It's not the same. Fuck, I am the worst, aren't I?" [name] covers her face, tears burning her eyes.
"To be honest, yeah." Mikey's lips form a thin line. [name] scoffs at his reply but agrees cause it's the truth.
"But that's the past. Now that you're back, you can start over." [name] uncovers her face and gives Mikey a grateful smile. She appreciated his attempt to reassure her.
"Do you still sleep in your garage room?" 
"No, I shifted to aneki's room, although it's still there. Here, the guest room is right here, you can stay here for the night." Mikey leads to the second-last room.
"Thanks..." 
"No problem, you can take a shower if you'd like, although I don't think you need one. You smell quite nice." Mikey says before his lips seal shut. 
[name] stares at him blankly trying to process what he said.
"Fuck, that was weird. I'm sorry, I just didn't think I'll ever see you again so my mind isn't working properly..." he explains trying to subdue his embarrassment. [name] stifles her giggles.
"It's alright, Manjiro. Good night." She smiles softly.
"Yeah, night. I'm just in the next room so shout if you need help." 
[name] just nods and closes the door behind her.
Tumblr media
It was around 2 AM when [name] found herself awake on the bed. Her mind was plagued by the thoughts of Senju.
Despite what her selfish heart asked for she knew Senju was just a star that she could never reach. A love that will never be hers.
She is distracted by the sound of glass clinking coming from elsewhere, so she gets out of bed and ventures out of the room. 
Letting the sound of running water be her guide she traverses through the house and comes face to face with Mikey who had just finished rinsing a glass.
"Sorry, did that wake you?" Mikey gives her an apologetic look under the moonlight that seeps through the windows.
"Ah no, I was awake." Was all she said.
"Thirsty?"
"No...Manjiro?" [name] calls out to him.
"Hm?" 
"Was it real for you...?" [name]'s voice comes out weak but her gaze does not falter.
"I don't understand." Mikey replies, confused by her question.
"Everything that happens between us. Was it real for you as it was for me?" [name] asks with a sad gaze, slowly coaxing him to answer.
"I think I made my feelings clear every single time, [name]." Mikey sighs, but then flinches at the sight in front of him.
[name]'s cheeks slowly got covered in tears as she finally succumbed to the events of today. Unable to stop herself she strides closer to Mikey and hugs him, words of gratitude falling from her lips.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for loving me back then. For loving me now. Thank you."
Mikey holds her close while responding to her words with comforting pats on the back. Minutes go by and they remain the same. The flow of her tears were far from slowing down and so were her words of gratitude.
She very slowly pulls her head away from the side of his neck and moves her face close to his.
"Thank you." As the gratitude is whispered into the night, [name] connects her lips to her first love's.
This time Mikey does not withdraw, and only pushes closer, indulging in her taste.
Slowly, they guide their bodies to Mikey's room. Once the back of [name]'s legs hit the bed, she gently falls back before letting her back rest on the bed.
Her legs were spread apart for Mikey to move with ease as his lips continued their ministrations on her collarbone. 
Pulling back to start undressing her, he halts to admire the love of his life.
Her lips were wet, small trails of moisture on her cheeks and neck glistened under the moonlight, the sight itself made him weak.
His hands work to get rid of her shorts so she's bare from the waist down spare for her underwear.
He doesn't remove the white dress shirt she adorned, instead, he unbuttons the first few buttons just enough to reveal the simple black bra that held her weight.
His right hand smoothly slid her bra up enough to expose her chest and the way he did so made it seem as though her breasts were trapped.
[name] lets a weak whimper escape her lips as Mikey's tongue slithered on the valley between her breasts. 
His thumbs teased her nipples as his mouth trailed her collarbone. Slowly moving his mouth to one of her breasts he wrapped his lips around her nipple, using his tongue to add to the pleasure.
His tongue kept rolling around her nipple, saliva leaked from his mouth to the sides of her breast leaving prominent trails. 
He couldn't get enough, feeling how her nipple slowly but surely turned hard. He continues to do the same to her other breast before placing his hands around her waist to flip her over.
[name] balanced herself on her hands and knees, letting out faux moans as Mikey's thumb rubbed her clit through the fabric.
Slowly pulling her underwear down yet not completely off, his fingers brush through her folds smoothly.
Mikey stares at her cunt with a blank stare. Somehow he wasn't surprised at the the lack of arousal. 
His eyes grew pained yet a sad smile took over his lips.
He had yet again fallen prey to [name]'s false words.
Gathering some saliva on his tongue he slides it over her clit and her folds finally plunging into her waiting hole.
[name] lets out a loud hoarse moan, not trying to muffle her sounds like she usually does. 
"Ahhh- There!" 
[name] occasionally lets out words of affirmation as Mikey's tongue fucks her now-sopping cunt. 
His teeth would sometimes nip at her clit painfully as a form of revenge yet [name] only found pleasure in it.
[name] continuously lets out moans unable to stop her approaching orgasm.
She couldn't deny that this was the best tongue to have touched her. The title would change every now and then while she was a student at uni.
Her best experience was during a foursome with fellow female students.
Her cunt clenches around Mikey's tongue at the thought, mind becoming hazy as she feels her clit throb.
She remembers how amazing it was. She was in the same position as she is now but her mouth was on an older's classmate's cunt, licking away at her folds.
She herself was getting her pussy kitten licked by two other classmates. One had her tongue constantly sucking on her clit to the point it was red and puffy. 
The other would use her tongue to assault her insides, switching between her fingers as her tongue would kitten-lick her asshole despite [name]'s protests or she would engage in a sloppy kiss with the other girl, their tongues still coated in [name]'s arousal.
That was the last time she had a shaking orgasm, that was until tonight.
[name] had unconsciously started to push against Mikey's tongue, his wet muscle was long enough to somehow brush against her g-spot. His nose rested dangerously close to her other entrance, and she would moan every time it lightly touched her.
She pushes back harder as she slowly feels her orgasm fade, so she thinks of the only thing that could release all the tension.
[name] plants her face against the mattress and moans into it as she thinks of Senju in every position imaginable.
She did the same in all her years at uni as she would fuck anyone who remotely resembled Senju or sometimes Mikey.
She thought of how Senju's tongue would feel on her cunt. She imagined her cunt against hers, hands tied as [name] would ride her face.
Tears prick her eyes as the thoughts overwhelm her.
"SE—AGH AHH! THERE! PLEASE! PLEA- AHH! MIKEY!" 
[name] squirts for the first time in 4 months. Her arousal coated her thighs, tainting the bedsheet below her.
Trying to ride out her high, she grinds her soaked cunt across his face in hopes of more stimulation, making sure to rub her clit on his nose and completely drench his face.
Mikey lets her move as she pleases, aiding her by softly licking up all her arousal. 
As he finished, he places a small kiss on her clit before standing up to walk away.
Before he could get too far, [name] shifts to sit on her knees and stops him by holding his hand. 
"Where are you going...?" [name] asks in a slight panic. Mikey only smiled down at her.
"Get some sleep, [name]." He replies trying to free his hand from her grasp.
"What...do you- why did you stop? What about you-?"
"This is enough [name]." Mikey loses smile.
"No, it's not- I need more! More than her- Mikey, please! Please..." [name] sobs guiding Mikey's hand between her thighs, coaxing two of his fingers to slide inside her.
Once they were settled in she moved her hips to mimic riding his fingers as she once did him, trying to lure him in. Her back was arched, pushing out her chest so they would move along with her hips. Her head tilted back to expose her neck, making it look so kissable.
Mikey was slightly caught off guard by her actions, never having seen her so desperate and submissive. He clenches his teeth in anger but keeps his mouth shut, only replying by driving his fingers deeper.
"Ahh! Just like that!" 
[name]'s moans were music to his ears yet it made them bleed, knowing nothing was directed towards him.
"You're so fucking selfish." 
Those were Mikey's last words before he rips his hand away from [name], completely distributing her orgasm.
"Manjiro what are you-?!" [name] exclaims but gets interrupted by the shutting of the door.
As a few minutes go by she hears rustling around the house she can see from the window how Mikey leaves the house looking fresh as if she hadn't just drenched his face.
He soon leaves on his bike, driving into the lonely night.
Tears now stained her face. 
How could he just leave her? Who should she go to next? How else could she stop the throbbing between her legs that had yet to subside?
[name] falls back on her back, her head on the pillows. 
She spreads her legs and immediately plunges two of her fingers into her weeping cunt. As she did so she was brought some relief, but her clit still pulsated against her palm. 
She sits up slightly, her right hand still in her cunt and she leans against the head of the bed using her left hand to support herself. 
Her left hand then moved to her breasts which were still trapped between her bra and her shirt. Her fingers stimulate her nipple as she continued to finger fuck herself, her mind filled with images of an engaged woman. 
She imagined fucking Senju in her favorite position. 
When she was at uni and became intimate with anyone who was similarly submissive to Senju she would fuck them in this position, hoping to do the same to her love one day.
Her room had a thin and long mirror on the side of her bed and there was enough distance between them to fit two people.
So as she would get eaten out by her partner for the night, she would make sure the girl would have her bare cunt pressed against the mirror.
She wouldn't stop the girl's actions until she was sure that the part of the mirror and everything below was covered in her arousal. 
When it was, she would shift the both of them so that [name] was sitting on her knees and the girl was lying flat on the floor, her legs over [name]'s shoulder would rest on her bed and the girl would have a complete view of her arousal and her dripping cunt as it got fucked by [name].
[name] would then tease the girl with her tongue all night and she forced her to lick up her own arousal on the mirror.
The girls who had experienced this would cry and cry, the filthy actions would embarrass them but they would only grow closer to their release.
Sadly for them, even during these intimate moments, [name]'s mind would only replace them with a certain pink-haired girl.
[name] felt herself growing close to her orgasm when thinking of Senju in the same position.
But suddenly her mind replaces herself with the image and Yuzuha and it breaks [name]. Shaking her head in defiance she continues her actions nonetheless.
Her fingers started to numb and her arm started to hurt, but she didn't stop until she had released all over her fingers.
Letting her breathing slow down she brings up her hand close to her face to look at her arousal.
After she cooled down she let her forearm rest over her eyes, letting her tears flow.
Tumblr media
Mikey hadn't felt such disappointed in years. As ashamed as he was to admit it, he was disappointed in [name] more so than he was in himself. 
He had noticed how she had called him 'Mikey' as opposed to 'Manjiro' like she usually does.
It's something that she had started doing somewhere in between his Kantou Manji days. It had started when Senju had officially entered the picture.
Without even realizing it, he had played right into her hands. She would lure him with her sweet 'Manjiro's and her lips would only spill 'Mikey's as she would fuck him.
It was already too late when he came to the realization.
Everything was different when she loved him, and only him. It was sweet. And a part of him believes it all went to shit when he left, yet he atoned for his actions. 
He was truly happy when [name] found love but when years later he heard of Senju and Yuzuha a part of him felt guilty, even though he hadn't done anything wrong.
Everyone else who was aware of [name] and Senju was also a bit distraught, but they were happy for Senju and Yuzuha nonetheless.
Mikey himself was happy for Senju for finding her happiness and hoped that [name] would be too but, by last night's events it was pretty clear how she had taken the news.
Because if she was happy, she wouldn't have kissed him. It had become second nature for her, if Senju does something wrong, go to Mikey. It had been drilled into her bones. 
Mikey walks into his house at around 9 AM. He looked to see if [name] was still here and sure enough, her shoes were right there.
He goes to check his room and finds [name] fast asleep on his bed. Her back was on the mattress, her head leaned up due to it resting on multiple pillows. Her hands were on each side of her head, and her legs were slightly pressed together and folded up.  
When he saw her face, he noticed how her lips were parted with small gasps escaping them, her face contorting as if there was some sort of tension building.
"Senju...Senju...~" 
Hearing this Mikey's eyes unconsciously drift to [name]'s slightly exposed cunt, there was a prominent trail of her arousal leaking from her hole.
Against his better judgment, he finds himself yet again at the mercy of [name], hands on her knees to spread them apart.
He uses his finger to see how wet she is and is utterly surprised to see her completely soaked as he spreads her folds. 
[name] lets out a pitiful whimper at his action.
Without another second being wasted, he sticks out his tongue and licks up from her asshole to her hole, gathering all of her arousal and pushing it back inside her.
[name] moans but doesn't wake, her lips forming the phonetics of Senju's name.
Removing his tongue from inside her, Mikey just licks her all over her cunt, trying to build her orgasm.
[name]'s eyes open but her vision is blurry, she just feels extremely wet all over and can only make out how her thighs felt to be trembling.
When she leans up and looks down to see Mikey eating her out, her head falls back and her cunt pushes forward on his tongue. Noticing her to be awake now Mikey goes back to driving his tongue inside her.
The loud squelching sounds slowly brought her out of her sleepy state, her hips starting to push against him making a few squirts spurt out of her cunt and onto Mikey's tongue.
"Ah~ Ah~ Mikey...what are you-?"
"Shhhhh..."
Feeling him speak against her clit just brings her orgasm closer. This all felt like a fever dream to her. 
Mikey pulls away from making her whine but her mouth is agape when Mikey moves to her side and up to suck on her nipple, his fingers stimulating her soaking folds.
His tongue moved around her nipple along with his fingers and these actions were too blinding for her, falling into complete submission for the first time.
Two of his fingers suddenly plunge into her just as he softly bites her nipple, her head is thrown back as she moans out.
"Ahh! Senju!"
[name]'s eyes widened in horror, instantly looking at Mikey's face but his eyes remained closed, but she noticed how thin tears spilled from the corners of his eyes and fell onto her body, getting camouflaged within her sweat.
His mouth was still sucking on her mounds and the movement of his fingers hadn't faltered for a second. 
In fact, his thrusting had sped up, hitting her g-spot repeatedly, she was sure her cunt would be puffed up due to the sheer force of his fingers. 
"Mikey I—" 
"Just finish, [name]." 
And she does.
Her release coats his hand up to his wrists as his fingers reach knuckles deep in her cunt to coax out every drop.
This continued for a few minutes till their breathing was no longer erratic. 
Mikey shifts once again to place himself between her legs to lick up all of her arousal, [name] remains silent ignoring how her cunt clenches around nothing as Mikey smoothes his tongue all over her folds licking her clean.
Once he is done, he places a kiss on her clit like he always does before getting out of the bed.
"Manjiro-"
"Take a bath. I have some clothes for you, freshen up." Mikey interrupts her before walking away from her for the second time.
Tumblr media
"Where did you get my clothes from? Did you visit Waka-nii when you left?" [name] questions as she stands at the door wearing her shoes.
"Yes, I didn't think you had informed them so I knew they would be worried. I told them I found you drunk so you're sleeping at my house."
—————————
09:34 AM
"She's at your house?" Wakasa asks in a worried tone.
"Yes, I found her drunk and felt uncomfortable leaving her alone. I tried to bring her here but she kept fighting so I just brought her back to my house." 
"Drunk?...*sigh* I see, thanks for informing me. You said you needed some clothes? Wait I'll get some for you." Wakasa replies massaging his head.
He returns a few minutes later, a paper bag in hand.
"I'm sorry about [name], Mikey. I wasn't too worried knowing she wouldn't do anything reckless, but just before you came here Takeomi called me and said that Senju and Yuzuha had gotten engaged last night." 
Wakasa sighs out as Mikey's eyes widen in surprise as he thinks back to a few hours ago.
"This is enough [name]." Mikey loses smile.
"No, it's not- I need more! More than her- Mikey please! Please..." [name] sobs guiding Mikey's hand between her thighs, coaxing two of his fingers to slide inside her.
Once they were settled in she moved her hips to mimic riding his fingers as she once did him, trying to lure him in. Her back was arched, pushing out her chest so they would move along with her hips. Her head tilted back to expose her neck, making it look so kissable.
Mikey was slightly caught off guard by her actions, never having seen her so desperate and submissive. He clenches his teeth in anger but keeps his mouth shut, only replying by driving his fingers deeper.
He thinks back to how desperate and broken her mind seemed to work, and suddenly everything made sense.
He realized she had probably met them right after the proposal. He felt pity for [name] yet it was still not an excuse for her behavior.
"She didn't do anything drastic right?" Wakasa asks Mikey to make sure [name] wasn't too disruptive.
"Don't worry Wakasa-san, she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed." Mikey replies with an uncertain smile.
"I see...Please ask her to come home soon. Thanks for doing this Mikey." Wakasa pats him on the shoulder walking back into his house.
—————————
"You told him I was drunk?" [name] asked shocked by the revelation. Mikey gives her a nod.
"He's going to murder me... You- ...You didn't say anything else right?"
[name] averts her gaze as she questions him.
"No, I just said you fell asleep as soon as you got to the bed." He explains.
"But..." He continues making [name] look at him in a slight panic.
"I don't take your brother for an idiot." 
That was all he said.
[name] nods at him before finally saying everything she had decided to say while taking a shower.
"Manjiro, I'm sorry. I truly am. I was sorry all those years ago, I was sorry last night, and I will continue to remain sorry for what I have done. I have no excuse for—"
"[name] you don't need to do this-" Mikey's words interrupt her but it only makes [name] lash out.
"No! I have to. You deserve an apology, okay?!" His lips seal shut and [name] takes it as a sign to continue.
"I was really sad when I found out that Senju and Yuzuha had gotten engaged. Over the years Senju had started growing distant towards me to the point that we had completely stopped talking. 
A part of me knew that she slowly realized that it wasn't worth loving someone like me, she didn't need to stay with someone who tormented her at every turn. 
I was so depressed by the silent rejection that I would sleep with anyone who slightly resembled her in looks, personality, submission, or anything that reminded me of her. I would project her onto my partners and I unconsciously did the same to you.
I would try to stop myself by telling myself that Senju and I just got too busy, friends drift apart but when they meet it's left they never left. I would tell myself that it would be the same with us. That Senju would love me again when she saw me, yet it didn't go as planned.
Manjiro, It wasn't a lie when I said I loved you. I love you! I really really love you! But when Senju came into the picture I started loving her even though I never forgot you. I...
Manjiro, I'll be better! I'll go to therapy, anything! Anything to better myself. Just give me a chance... I'll be better so you won't ever regret having loved me. I'll make myself better so you don't have to be ashamed of me. Just give me a chance..." 
[name]'s heart felt light as soon as all the words spilled out of her, but immediately a brick was stacked on her heart once again and she dreaded his response.
She told herself that no matter his response, no matter what he said she would accept. 
"Okay."
[name] looks at him in disbelief. Did he just agree?
"Okay?" 
"Okay. I'll give you a chance. But only when you can accept the true relationship between Senju and Yuzuha. Can you do that?" Mikey asks her.
[name] nods trying to compose herself.
"Yes, I can do that!" [name] assures.
"Are you sure, [name]? Are you ready to accept the fact that Senju no longer loves you? Are you ready to accept the fact that as we speak Senju is probably getting filled and fucked by someone who will never be you?" 
By the end of the sentence, Mikey had pulled [name] close to him by her shoulders, making sure that her eyes stared back at his. 
He knew his words were brutally honest, the last part might have been unnecessary but he could no longer ignore just how hurt he was by her.
[name]'s heart ached at his words but she kept staring back, not moving her gaze for even a second.
"Yes. For you, I will accept it." Was [name]'s response. Hearing this Mikey lets go of [name] and steps back. A few seconds go by as neither of them says anything, yet they don't break their stare.
"Very well. I will wait for you." Mikey finally lets out a smile, his heart grows heavy when [name] smiles back and bows as a thank you.
He watches as she turns around and leaves the house, closing the door behind her.
He already knew how fate works, and what it will do to him since god was never on his side.
He always wondered if he was being watched by the devil, and he wondered if he would keep looking upon him till he had taken everyone from his life.
[name] too wondered if she had a devil in her.
Being loved by [name] was truly a beautiful thing. But it would become dangerous if it isn't reciprocated. She would never directly hurt anyone, but everyone around her would end up in the crossfire and would get used by her to ease her.
Then she would think of ways revenge, payback in ways that would have her love come crawling back.
Even now, as she makes her way home the devil persuades her to forget about Mikey. He tells [name] to go find Senju and make her forget all about her fiance.
He coaxes [name] to find her and fuck her into oblivion. Make sure that [name] will always be the best tongue to fuck her, the best fingers to stuff her full, the best pussy she'll ever taste, the best sex she'll ever experience. The most loved she'll ever feel.
This was tempting for [name], but for now, she'll ignore the devil and only listen to Mikey. She will make him take the place of an angel or rather...
Make him a devil to kill her own.

Bro why do u hate ascended Asterion so much? He's still asterion
Would you believe me if I told you that I actually don't hate ascended Astarion? Because I really don't!
Now, do I think it's a sad ending? Yes, yes I do. But do I hate it? Absolutely not.
Quite the opposite, actually. I do like the ascended ending for what it is - the bad ending. It's really really well written and I do enjoy it in it's own special way. What I don't like, however, is the attitude a lot of people face it with.
This entire 'ascension is the best ending for him' and 'it's the right choice for him, even if it isn't good'. 'not letting him ascend is selfish because that is what he wants!', 'he still loves you after ascension' and 'he's still the same, just strong' is what I dislike.
Like, if you're into that ending and you prefer it for some reason, that's totally cool, but claiming this is the best ending for him? Damn, that hurts my heart and my soul.
Why I can't even say. Maybe it's because of who I am - both a social worker and a child raised by abusive, narcissistic parents - but to me it's glaringly obvious what ascension will cost him. It's so clear what he is giving up and WHY he is giving it up because, in my own way, I've been there myself. And I've worked with people who've been there as well. (Less murderous, obviously, but equally as self-destructive!)
And because I've been there - on both sides, his and Tav's - I know that none of that will be necessary if there's one person next to him that says 'Hey. Astarion, I know you're hurting but...you don't need to run and hide anymore. You're free and...you're enough.'
So everytime someone claims that ascension is the best ending for him, that it's his good ending and that not letting him ascend is the selfish thing to do, oh boy. It really grinds my gears!
But, in the end, I don't hate the ascended ending at all.
If we're talking companion-endings that I hate, I'd personally propose Karlach choosing death, actually! Because that? That's just unnecessarily dumb.
I know she doesn't want to go back and I know why, I really do, but the thing is...It won't be like before. Things have already changed and they will keep on changing from now on. She's a different Karlach already, so the change is unavoidable! I mean, she's not working for Zariel anymore and, even more importantly: She won't be alone! She has friends now, actual friends that would definitely accompany her if she asked them to. Shit, Wyll even offers it up on his own without being asked! She can come back to the surface from time to time, because it seems like her heart can take periods outside of Avernus as long as she returns once it get's bad. Like, shit, make the House of Hope your homebase, girl! Granted, Hope is a bit ditzy but I'm sure she'll be a joy to be around! And it doesn't even need to be forever! Like, come on, we're already trying to make sure that a fucking vampire can walk in the sun without the use of a tadpole or ascension, I'm sure we can all pencil in 'find a new heart for babygirl' or whatever. And there's Dammon!!! Dammon is smart and talented and unnecessarily handsome and lovable, so he'll surely find a way to fix that darn engine as long as she's alive!
So yeah, that's an ending I actually do hate! Maybe because it feels like conversations I have with clients all the time - scared people and people with trauma can be so extremely stubborn, believe it or not - so it just hits a nerve, haha.
(Oh and I also hate Lae'zel's ascension. The girl is so smart and still doesn't notice how full of shit Vlaakith is? Nah, that's just heresy, I won't accept that one. I know loyalty and morals are a thing, but still no. Blegh.)
