Masterlist
_________
"Baby pay attention to meee!", Harry plopped down beside you on your shared bed, "what're you doing anyway?", putting his head on your shoulder as he squints his eyes.
You turned your head a bit and pecked his nose, "told ya I was gonna play Episode! Just bought these gems and tickets.", looking back to your phone, you made your choice - Kiss Max.
"That awfully looks like you.", H murmured, still not taking his head off your shoulders.
You've been playing this game since the lockdown started. Weird? Probably. For an adult like you who's dating the Harry Styles, yes. In your defense, it's a fun game. It does get boring on some days and the domestic stuff gets tiring so you play this game to relax a bit.
And no, Harry is not boring, he just happened to have a life and a hobby - unlike you and when he's working out or writing, you're stuck with whatever it is that can occupy you and so you found this game!
"I know! It's so cool cause I really feel like I'm in this game!", you continued to read the lines on your phone screen not paying attention to your boyfriend, "look!"
"Stop making out with that avatar!", Harry playfully said as he lays down to bed.
"I made a premium choice so...", you shrugs, "and isn't he just cute??!", you felt Harry put his hands on your waist and tried to drag you down beside him but you didn't budge.
H answered you in a monotone voice, "Yea sure.", putting both of his hand at the back of his head then closing his eyes.
"C'mon! Don't be rude! I designed him!"
Opening his left eye, "well sorry to break it to you but you can't design a real life boyfriend."
"Thank god I play this game then, ain't it?", you jokingly responded but it seems like your boyfriend is a grumpy baby today, only answering you with 'whatever'.
"Stop that!", hitting your boyfriend's tummy playfully, "I can style you anyways Mister Harry Styles, so I'm good.", you continued, emphasizing his surname.
"I think I'm gonna go grab some snack downstairs.", your boyfriend quickly get out of your bed and walked out of your room leaving you dumbfounded.
'Whatever', your mind subconsciously screamed so you just went back to your game, getting comfortable sitting with your back against the headboard. 
This is not the first time it happened, there are some days when Harry is a complete 180, but hey, everyone has a bad day and he's not an exemption.
Shaking your head as if to clear your head, you went back to your game. You realized that you just started a new chapter yet your boyfriend hasn't made his appearance back.
Making a mental note of checking on him after this chapter, you continued your game until he walked in your room again holding a bag of chips and a bottle of water.
Patting the space beside you, "Whatcha got in there, baby?", already knowing the answer, you asked anyway.
He only raised the food on his hands and made his way beside you. He did not say a word, only stared at the blank wall in front of him as he started eating his chips.
"Can you feed me some?", you tried to coo your boyfriend but he only passed you the bag, still not paying attention to you.
Feeling defeated and annoyed, you rolled your eyes and ignored your boyfriend as you finished the chapter you are playing.
"Kissy!", you made a grabby hands at Harry as you jutted your bottom lips only for you to get ignored, once again. "What's up with you?", you turned off your game and looked at him with pointed eyes.
"Oh so now you paying attention to me. Nice."
"Wha- are you, you know, horny...? Is that it...?", you tried to tickle him but still no nothing.
"Can you let me eat my chips at peace? Why won't you go back to that game of yours."
"What? No. I'm asking you a question Harry.", your patience is wearing off and your boyfriend is clearly the reason. Everything is so peachy.
Finally looking at you, he answered sarcastically, "I was asking for your affection earlier but you didn't pay attention."
"What the hell H!", rubbing your face until something clicked, "oh no! Oh no!", you started laughing while Harry looked at you like you're a lunatic of some sort.
"What now?"
"Oh no! No no no no no!", the pissed off face of your boyfriend did not help but to make you laugh harder to the point where your stomach starts hurting.
"Y/N stop that!", H whined, stuffing his face with chips.
"Wait!", trying to calm down, "I think I know what's up with you...", getting a pillow and hugging it and sitting up straighter, you continued, "are you... jealous?"
Harry mimicked you, sitting up straight, "I am not jealous.", eating more of the chips as he looks at you dead in the eyes.
"Oh baby, you are so jealous!", you continued to tease your boyfriend, poking his body multiple times.
"I'm not."
"Yes you are! I know you!"
H put his chips on his bedside table and cleaned his hand with a rubbing alcohol then facing you again, "no. I'm not even laughing!", looking at your eyes again, trying to make a point.
"If it was other people, maybe you would've fooled them, but not me! I know that look! And that eyes! Just admit it! You're jealous Harry!", the look on your boyfriends face made you stop laughing.
"Fine! What if I am?"
You take a hold of his hands, "baby, you can't seriously be jealous over a fictional character...", you tried to hold on your laughs for the sake of Harry.
"It's not that!", H removed his hands from yours and laid down.
"Then what is it? Tell me, please.", you removed the pillow on your thighs as you maneuver near his head and put it on your thighs instead.
You waited for an answer but received none. 
"Baby it's just an avatar...", running your right hand thru his hair then pecked his nose.
"I know. God, I know! I'm just being stupid, forget it.", he hides his face on your legs but it's too late, you already saw the redness on his face.
"Tell me please, baby."
Harry answered you with inaudible voice so you his head on a place where you can see his face and hear him properly, "come again H?"
"I said I wasn't jealous of that stupid avatar, I-", you looked at him accusingly and he sighed, "okay, fine! Was jealous of the avatar and the game. Just wanted your loving but you weren't paying attention to me and it made me realize that any guy can have your attention. I mean that avatar got you hooked already! And that's only a game... what if it's a real guy? Someone who'll be with you all the time and not someone who's on the other side of the world half of the time?"
"Oh love...", you pulled his body up as a sign for him to sit down and he did, "first of all I'm sorry for ignoring you, it won't happen again, I promise.", you kissed his left cheek twice and continued, "second, there will be no other guy! You understand me, H?", cupping his face with your hands so he'll look at you in the eyes.
"But you're probably bored that's why yo-"
"You, stop that. I would choose you every time, okay? Even with the premium choices in the game! I love you, and only you and there will be no other guy, okay?", you explained to him but his face still looks sad.
"I love you, you know that, right Harry?"
"I do and I'm so honored that you do and I love you too Y/N."
"See! There's nothing else to worry about, yeah?", you can see his smile trying to creep back, "now, kissy? Pleaseee!"
Finally, your boyfriend kissed you, pinning you close to his body and taking you both down to the bed. The kiss is soft, slow and sweet until you decided to break it.
Harry whined, "what now?"
"I can start a new story on Episode and make an avatar look like you! Or you can install it too and get a revenge? Or i don't know make it look like me?", you offered as you sit up again.
"How about you delete it and play with your real boyfriend? Hmmm? Sounds good?"
It sounds like a good deal, great deal. Spectacular actually, "but I just bought those gems and all..."
"Fine, but you're playing it with me. I can't have you kissing other guys even if it's fictional!"
You bopped his nose with your pointer finger, "okay deal! But only if you gave me some of your chips!", you reached across him to his bedside table for the bag only to find it empty.
"Uh oh..."
You straddled your boyfriend, "yes. Uh oh your self, Styles."
"Hmmm, are you trying to seduce me, future Missus Styles?", Harry raised his left eyebrow at you, also sitting up.
"What?"
"What what?", Harry chuckled.
"Yo- you just... you called me..."
"I did.", he said coolly.
You started playing with your fingers out of nervousness, "what do you me-"
"Marry me."
"What?", you alarmingly looked up to him only to see him getting something on his drawer on bedside table.
Pulling up a small square dark blue velvet box, Harry slowly opened it, "I know this isn't the most ideal proposal but I couldn't wait any longer. I had this ring for months now, waiting for the right time to give it to you. I was planning on doing one of those Pinterest worthy proposals like I saw on your board so I'm sorry to disappoint..."
You're crying at this point, "no, no no..."
Harry started closing the box at your answer.
"NO! Stop!", you hold Harry's hand to stop him from closing the box, "what I mean is, this is perfect, I- I don't need those Pinterest like proposal..."
"So are you saying...?"
"Yes! Yes yes! I'll marry you! Oh my God I'm deleting my Episode right now!", you started to remove your body from his but his big hands prevented you from doing so.
"We'll I'm glad that you're deleting it but...", Harry got the ring out of the box and took your left hand, slowly sliding it on your ring finger.
"It's beautiful. Gorgeous.", you looked into each other's eyes that's full of tears, smiling then meeting each other's lips.
You pulled away, out of breath. 
"So you're marrying me now.", Harry concluded.
"Did you just asked me to marry you cause you're jealous?", you poked fun at your now fiancé.
"I'm not answering that.", he took your phone from the bed and unlocked it, "are you sure you want to delete this?"
You nodded, "do the honors baby.", you smiled at him as he did so then kissing him again once the app was removed from your phone.
"I love you."
"I love you more H. I'm gonna pamper you tomorrow, promise. We'll do face masks and everything but for now, I think we need to... celebrate!", you winked at him while slowly pushing him down the bed, which is an easy task since you're still straddling him.
"We definitely do.", with that, Harry flipped the both of you so you're under him and hid yourself under the thick blankets on the bed.
You can guess what happened next. Let's just say that Harry kept you pretty well preoccupied for the next few hours until it was time for dinner.
And after the dinner, he made sure that both of your desserts are well served - if you know what I mean.
Who would have thought that Harry will propose to you at this day when he was just grumpy earlier? But oh, you're not complaining.

Tumblr media
[ 6.00 PM ]
... you went home. Mr. Driver drove you home. But you still can't believe that your boyfriend were going to visit you that night.
"What should I do? Should I take a bath first? Or clean up my room?" You mumbled. Your room was quite messy because you were really busy with your assignment and you never expected that he will visit you in his busy schedule, its Astro's comeback, remember?
You decided to clean up your room and change the bed sheet. Because your apartment is not that wide and all stuffs of yours are there. You tidied up your desk and you didn't forget the small kitchen and your balcony. You took bath.
---
[ 8.00 PM ]
Your bell rang, gladly you finished all things on time. It's your boyfriend.
"Uhm.. hi~ babe," he smiled at you as soon as you opened the door for him.
He was on his jacket and eventhough he put on mask, you can see his smile by his smiling eyes.
"Hi, babe. Where is Mr. Manager? Are you coming here alone?" You asked.
"Can't I come alone? Should I call Mr. Manager to come here now? And should I ask for ramyeon, so you can let me enter your room?" He took off his mask.
"Why do you keep teasing me today? I hate you!" You hit his chest. He laughed. He entered your room and passed you a paper bag.
"Its your favorite wine." He said.
"Ah~ thank you baby~" you accepted the bag and opened it directly. He smiled as soon as he saw your smile.
---
Its been awhile since he visited you. Last time you met him was a month ago, you visited his dorm and you got news about their comeback. That's why you were just texting with him. You just didn't want to break his focus.
But that night, your boyfriend sat on your bed.
"Give me your phone," he asked.
"What for? Are you really curious of what I'm doing for a month?" You asked back.
"Food. Let's order food. I asked you about ramyeon but you didn't ask me if I've eaten or not, So I will just order it," he said.
"Oh. You haven't eat yet? Do you want me to cook ramyeon for you?" You asked.
He stood up, held your hand. "No baby, you have to enjoy tonight. What do you want to do?" He asked.
"Lets go out, get some good food, I miss you lots," you told him.
"Alright, princess. Let's go," he kissed your forehead. You hugged him for a moment.
He took his jacket and mask, you did too. He held your hand and you both went out. He drove tonight. "Where are we going?" He asked.
"You are hungry, right? Let's buy fried chicken." You suggested. He nodded. His right hand grabbed your left hand. "I miss you a lot, baby." His words made you smile.
Finally arrived at the chicken restaurant, he ordered food for you, drive thru. But his hand was still there, holding onto yours.
"Why drive thru?" You asked.
"I want something private," he told you.
"Huh?" You were a bit confuse.
"Leave it for me, baby girl." He kissed your hand. You just agreed with all of his plans. He drove you but he didn't tell you where you both were going to. And after not-so-long journey, you arrived in Han River. He parked the car on the river side.
"Let's eat." He said.
"Here?" You asked.
"Yeah, enjoy the night view. Its so beautiful." He said while grabbing the food pack.
"Alright. Its so beautiful here." You said.
"Yes, but nothing is more beautiful than you." He smiled to you. You smiled, you were so excited. He poked your chubby cheeks.
"Stop it, baby! I'm shy! Let's eat." You pushed away his hand. He laughed.
You both started eating. And its really late by that time.
"Baby.." He called you.
"Hm-uhm?" You answered but you kept eating.
"Nope. Its nothing." He pulled back.
"Why? Stop teasing me, babe." You stopped eating. He laughed again.
"No, but I really love you, you must know it." He said.
"I know, so just eat." You ignored that.
"How can you know?" He looked at you.
"If you don't love me, we won't have chicken right now." He laughed as you said that. You know that he's just wanted to tease you. You both finished eating and had small talks there. He told you about the comeback. You told him about your college. That was a fun night with him. You didn't realized but time passed. Its almost midnight. So he drove you back.
Tumblr media
[ 12.00 AM ]
.. Both of you arrived at your home.
You let him enter your home, again. You were a bit sad because you knew that he will go home soon.
"Are you going home?" You asked.
"I still have wine, remember?" He pointed the paper bag that you put on the table.
"So you want your wine back?" You teased him.
"Babo~ lets have wine tonight." He laughed and pat your head.
"No, you will drive home later. So i can't let you drunk. We will have it next time." You walked away. He pulled your hand and pulled you closer to him.
"I'm not going home tonight." He kissed your forehead.
"Stop it, baby. Your manager will kill me." You were bit upset about how playful he was but you hugged him.
"I told him that I'm going to sleepover and he agreed." He explained.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What are you going to do?" You looked up to him but you still hugging him.
He brushed your hair. "Let's have that wine."
You nodded, you took 2 glasses while he waited for you on the balcony. You leaned on him and you both drank and have another talks. Since its just wine, it won't make you drunk.
[ 2.00 AM ]
"Its almost morning now." You stood up
"So?" He asked.
"Go home!" You asked him to go. You just didn't want him to get any problem.
"Okay, let me wash my face first." He asked. You nodded.
After awhile, he went out from the bathroom "You need to clean up too." He said. You shook your head. You refused.
"Okay, I won't go." He kept watching you.
You were getting upset, your stubborn boyfriend was too much. So you just went to clean up yourself, just like what he asked.
Once you finished, you came out and you saw your boyfriend laid down in your bed.
You exhaled deeply. You saw him and you started to talk to him. "Baby, I'm done. Just go."
"Come over here." He patted the bed. "Here."
You felt so upset. You just ignored him until he got up from your bed and pulled your hand. He hugged you directly. "Please let me stay here tonight, I really told Mr. Manager and he gave me permission. I don't have schedule today, too. Okay?"
"But I will feel guilty." You explained.
"No, I am the one who decide it. Okay?" He looked at you and brushed your hair. You finally nodded to his decision. He led you to your bed. And you both laid down. He hugged you as he really missed you that night.
"Baby." You called him.
"Hm?" He answered you.
"Why are you so stubborn?" You asked him.
"To see how beautiful your face while sleeping." He kissed your cheek and started caressing you.
"Don't ignore me." You said.
"I missed you so much. Okay?" He took your hand.
"Missing me means you can be stubborn?" You looked at him.
"I told you, its your secret fan service tonight. I will spend my night here. I do really miss you." He pulled your hand and kissed it. "Baby, lets just let me sleepover tonight. I love you so much."
He melted your heart and you nodded. You were still in his embrace, you can feel his breath, you smiled a bit but you didn't want him to know.
"Look, you better keep smiling because you are beautiful when you smile." He pecked your lips. You were too shy to admit it. So you hit his chest. He smiled and he made you shy. So you buried your face on his chest. He stroked your hair. And you fell asleep in his embrace.
You and him had that cuddly night as your secret fan service.

↳ chapter seventeen: the void
❧ genre: pro-hero hitoshi, adoptive siblings, happy ending
❧ chapter warnings: mentions of suicide/self harm, depression, anxiety, comfort
[multi-chap masterlist] [previous chapter - next chapter]
Tumblr media
The loud and obnoxious sound of the alarm on your phone woke you from a deep slumber. You groaned and reached behind your head to the arm of the couch and grabbed the device, picking it up and touching the 'off' button. Your fingers went to clutch the phone but it slipped from your hold and landed straight on your forehead.
"Oh for the love of fucking christ why!"
Groaning and moaning in pain, you rolled over and fell straight off of the couch with a yelp. 
"I'm just going to lay here and die," you thought to yourself as your face stayed buried into the rug. 
The phone started to ring only a few seconds later, startling you from the serene quietness of the house. With a sigh you sat up on your elbows and grabbed the phone, seeing that it was Hitoshi calling, more than likely to make sure you were awake from your nap.
"Ayeeee," you answered with a tired and un-enthused tone.
"I swear you're something else woman, are you awake? Like awake awake?"
"Yeah I'm awake, trust me," you replied rubbing your forehead.
"Okay, just making sure sweetness. The kid has dance this afternoon right?"
You confirmed Hitoshi's question as you rose from the floor with a groan. The two of you continued to converse as you put on your hoodie and coat, shoes and grabbed your car keys. It had been exactly three weeks since you moved in with your now boyfriend to help him with the care of Eri. It was an exhausting and busy three weeks but so wonderful at the same time. You liked the hustle and bustle of bringing Eri to and from school and her different lessons. More than anything you loved being part of Hitoshi and Eri's life, sharing a home with them both and having your own life full of love and happiness, all because of them.
"How about I meet you two after her lesson and we'll go out for dinner since it's Friday?"
You quirked a brow and counted back your days, realizing that Hitoshi was right but also causing another important detail to pop into your brain as you saw a sparkly pink duffel bag by the front door.
"Uh – I think it'll be just me and you actually. Eri is supposed to go to some little slumber party tonight after dance. I just remembered!"
"That's fine then, you know what, since you'll be back at home before me I'll just pick up some take-out on my way home and we'll have a night in together. It's been a while since we've had one of those, kid free. Maybe even have a copious amount of sex squeezed in between some movies and video games?"
You laughed as you were already out the door and getting into your vehicle, knowing good and well that your lover was at his work desk surrounded by his colleagues and not giving a single fuck about if they could overhear him or not.
"Mmm, food, movies, video games and sex. Should I wear my 'holey' pants, I just know how turned on you get when I strut around in them!"
A sharp inhale was heard on the other end of the call, making you laugh again from imagining Hitoshi grinning through his gritted teeth as he thought of your pair of pajama pants with pink pineapples all over them and a good number of frayed holes. You never cared to throw them away because they were the most comfortable pair of pj's you owned.
"Oh now you're talking, maybe even wear a matching trash bag top. Mmm, that'd be so fucking hot!"
More laughter erupted from your mouth, making Hitoshi laugh as well. You sank back into the seat of the vehicle after starting the engine and turning the heater on full blast. "I love you weirdo."
"I love you more sweetheart. Be careful on the road please, and text me when you get there."
"You got it captain!"
After picking up Eri from school, the two of you had a small amount of time to drive-thru and grab a quick snack. Eri sat in her booster seat, eating her fries and drinking her juice happily as you did the same. You turned down the music on the radio and glanced at the little girl in your rear-view mirror.
"So cutie, what do you want to be for Halloween? We're gonna have to start looking for a costume because you got that party coming up, plus we're all going to the festival at UA."
As Eri chewed on a mouthful of salty fries she thought with a finger to her cheek. After a few seconds, her ruby eyes lit up and she looked at you.
"I want to be Alice!"
"Ooh, that sounds easy enough! You'd make a very cute and fitting Alice! You know I think we should make Toshi be the Cheshire Cat!"
"Yeah! He's purple already!" Eri pointed out.
You laughed and agreed with her. You couldn't wait to tell Hitoshi the decision you and his sister made in regards to his Halloween outfit. Eri followed with asking what you would be, which actually stumped you. You weren't much of a fan of the classic tale but you had a general knowledge of it. The Mad Hater or Queen of Hearts just didn't really float your boat. 
"Hmm, who else is there?" 
A light flickered in your head as you thought about making you and Hitoshi match at least in the animal department.
"What about the White Rabbit?"
"Yeah! Then we would all match!"
The rest of the drive you and Eri planned out the pieces of your costumes. Once at dance you walked in with her, hand in hand and helped to get her dressed in her dance outfit and put her long silver locks up into a nice and neat bun. You stowed her stuff away and walked to the dance room, crouching to her level before she went inside.
"Alright, you're going home with Mai and her mommy today for her slumber party. All your things are in your bag, and if you need absolutely anything you let her mom know and she will call me or Toshi."
"Okay Unnie, you and Sou-Sou will come get me tomorrow?"
"Absolutely, whenever you're ready to come home, we'll be on our way!"
Eri smiled and nodded before hugging your neck tightly. You placed a kiss to her head before standing and coaxed her into the dance room. She smiled and waved goodbye to you and ran to join her little group of friends. You waved back and proceeded to give the other girls mother yours and Hitoshi's numbers and made your way back home, more than ready to have a lazy night with your equally exhausted boyfriend.
Tumblr media
Hitoshi struggled to open the door of his home, after many failed attempts of calling your cell or kicking at the barrier since his hands were full, he had to manage by himself knowing that you wouldn't be coming to help him. Once inside he heard it was quiet for the most part, which had him worried until he walked more into the kitchen and could hear a vacuum cleaner running down the hall. His heart was put at ease, realizing that's why you didn't answer him.
The hero placed all the bags of food on the counter, he went all out and got everything the both of you enjoy from your favorite take-out place. You had been working so hard the past few weeks caring for Eri, cleaning the house and cooking in your free time, even if it was already spotless. 
Of course Hitoshi wasn't the type to just sit back and let you do these things, either you'd have them all done before he could get home or when he'd offer his help you'd decline it and suggest he spend time with Eri helping with her homework or just playing games with her. Tonight he wanted to make sure you were satisfied in more ways than one, a belly full of good food, a nice bath to relax your tired body, nice soft and comfy clothes and a whole bunch of doing nothing.
After Hitoshi's arms were empty he slid his shoes off and made his way towards the whirring sound of the cleaning appliance. It led him to Eri's bedroom and he poked his head around the corner of her door frame. The sight his eyes fell upon was very welcomed, making him chuckle and smile. 
Your ear buds were snug in your ears, your phone on the toddlers dresser. As you vacuumed you danced along with the music flowing into your canals, singing to it as well. Your hips swayed in a hypnotic way and you had great footwork as you stepped along with the beat. Your entire body was moving - shoulders, waist, head. (H/c) locks swayed along and your free hand was raised up dancing along too.
"Y se emociona, ya no razona. Y me empieza a cantar, me canta así, así. Bidi bidi bom bom. Bidi bidi bom bom."
Hitoshi's eyes lit up as he heard your voice speaking the Spanish language so flawlessly. He knew you liked many different types of music and knew countless songs word by word, the language barrier being no problem. 
This wasn't the first time the male had caught you like this either, there were multiple times he'd walk in on you dancing and singing in the shower, while baking or cleaning. Each time he'd scare the piss out of you by not making his presence known and you'd stop immediately. It wasn't like you couldn't dance or sing, because you could and so well. The sheer embarrassment of it all though is what would make you end the show. 
This time though, he didn't want that to happen. With the help of his own sounds being muted by your ear buds and vacuum, he was able to sneak inside the room and place himself a close distance behind you. His violet eyes watched your foot work and learned it quickly, they'd also gaze to your ass as you'd roll your hips and stick the plump flesh out.
He panted, seeing you in black leggings and a plain long-sleeve shirt. You didn't have to wear fancy or revealing getup's to get his blood pumping and his tongue hanging from his mouth. 
Hitoshi held his hands up and lined them with your hips as he got ready to step in with you. You sang the song so well and perfectly it's like he could hear the beat of it and easily became in-tune with your movements. Hitoshi took a deep breath and waited for just the right moment and took it. 
One arm wrapped around the front of your waist, pulling your gyrating hips into his, the other grabbed hold of your hand that swayed up in the air. Chuckling, his lips brushed against the skin of your neck, making a shocked gasp escape from your mouth. You hadn't fully registered what was happening as Hitoshi danced with you, moving his hips along with yours and pressing his hard chest to your back.
You stopped vacuuming, letting go of the machine and Hitoshi took the chance to twirl you around and face him. He took a bud from your ear and placed it in his so he could hear the music you listened to. It was lively and fun, his hands took hold of yours, fingers intertwining and holding them in the air as he danced along with you quite well.
"Toshi-ah! What the – you never told me you could even remotely dance!"
Hitoshi twirled you, making you giggle and tugged you towards him and kissed your cheek, "You never asked."
"That's my line you turd!"
Smiling, Hitoshi pulled you into his chest and dipped you, timing it perfectly with the end of the song. He was so pleased with himself and placed sweet kisses up your neck to your cheek before standing you straight up again. His arms wrapped around you and hugged you close, you hummed and hugged back burying your face into him. Hitoshi pulled away and removed the bud from yours and his ear, grabbed your phone and shut off your music.
"Come on sweetness, let's get that thing put back up and get our night started!"
Tumblr media
After eating all the food you could until you were miserable, Hitoshi ran a bath and you both bathed and relaxed until you were prunes. Now you laid on the couch together watching a movie. Hitoshi played with your (h/c) hair as you laid on his chest until you lost interest in the film and moved to sit up and straddle his lap. He smiled and touched your warm cheek, drinking in the site of you wearing one of his shirts and looking adorable.
"I didn't ask yet, but how was your last full week at the agency?"
Hitoshi explained his week and you listened closely, your hands playing with his.
The time had come finally for him to start his teaching job at UA that following Monday, you were excited and nervous for him, he was more excited than anything. All week after he'd get off work, he'd stop by the school to set up his classroom and get everything in place and ready. 
You and Eri stopped by one day to bring him dinner and you weren't exactly surprised to see just how much he put into the room. It looked chaotic with all the sketches, posters and prints that hung from the walls but it was somehow like an organized chaotic. Everything flowed together well, it was cozy and very inviting. As he stated before, there was a big print of your picture from Disneyland on one of the walls, along with an equally sized picture of Eri. Hitoshi said he was going to make the classroom his own and make it his own he did.
"You excited for your first day of teaching?" You asked, moving your hands up Hitoshi's chest to wrap around his neck and play with his hair.
"Definitely, it'll be a nice change and new journey. I can't wait to meet my students and see how creative they are."
You smiled at your lover's excitement and leaned forward to kiss his lips softly. Hitoshi hummed as his hands rested on and squeezed your hips. He grinned after you broke away, asking what the kiss was for.
"Just because. I'm really proud of you Hitoshi, you set your sights on something and you go after it."
"Well thank you sweetheart. I'm so lucky to have you," he replied and pulled your lips to his again, giving you a kiss to express his gratitude.
You smiled and leaned down, hugging his chest and pressing your cheek to it. Hitoshi wrapped his own arms around you and kissed the top of your head.
"It's definitely the other way around Toshi."
Shinsou smirked as he rubbed your back and you went back to watching the movie on the tv but suddenly it's like your words brought a past memory up, from that night in the bathtub a few weeks ago. 
"I don't know how much longer I would've lasted in this world." 
Somehow he had forgotten to ask you about that night, about your life and emotional health before moving in with him. Looking down at you, Hitoshi figured now was a good enough time to ask you, you were awake and aware and already in a somewhat mushy and open mood. You never had been the type to really hide anything from him, even before your relationship became official. Hitoshi picked up on clues to your moods and he'd ask you about them, sometimes you'd be hesitant or annoyed with his line of questioning but you always answered him. In the end you'd feel better having him to vent to.
"Hey baby," Hitoshi started off as his hand on your back squeezed, "I've been wanting to talk to you about something."
You remained in your place, your hand holding onto Hitoshi's bicep and your thumb brushing his skin under the sleeve of his shirt. "What is it Toshi?"
"Do you remember a few weeks ago, when you and Eri made that cake, me and you took a bath that night and you were dozing off? You said something to me, something about how if I hadn't come along with my job offer then you didn't know 'how much longer you would've lasted in this world'. Does any of that ring a bell?"
Your brows knitted, trying to recall that nights events. The memories were blurry, you were in a dazed state after all. You remembered Hitoshi bathing you, holding you close and letting you melt into him. When you're extremely tired and trying to fight it off, you tend to blabber a lot about your hearts innermost feelings. More than likely that was the case that night, no denying it.
"I don't remember it exactly, but it sounds like something I would've said."
"What exactly did you mean by that? You weren't planning on hurting yourself ... were you?"
There was a pause before you replied, letting out a long and ragged breath as you thought how to form the words that wanted to fall from your lips. 
You had thoughts before, of how much easier life would be if you didn't have a life at all. You wouldn't have to worry about meeting due dates for bills, wouldn't have to be bothered with your families problems and above all, wouldn't have to see that monster you worked for ever again. Each day going back and forth to that café seemed to just break a piece of your soul off more and more. The looks, whistles and words that you'd hear. 
Your only saving grace being Hitoshi when he'd stop by and grace you with his company. For those few moments or hours, you'd feel that everything was good in the world, that maybe you could make it one more day if it meant seeing that tuft of purple hair and those glistening amethyst eyes one more time.
"Uh – not exactly, I guess? I don't know. I think back then I honestly had just given up on caring about my life Hitoshi. I was in the mindset that if something 'bad' did happen to me then I'd be okay with it. Truthfully, I'm too much of a little bitch to ever off myself, I wanted it to be done for me. I'd go as far as seeking out dangerous situations sometimes."
Hitoshi clenched his jaw, letting your words hit him hard, his hold on you grew tighter. You kissed the inside of his elbow that your face rested in and continued.
"I – I'd purposefully walk through the rough and bad areas of the city on my way home some nights. Hoping someone would think I was good enough to mess with and even hurt. Other times I wouldn't pay attention to my surroundings as I walked crosswalks during heavy traffic. I feel disgusted with myself that I even thought of giving into that man I worked for, then trying to back out of it, hoping he'd get mad enough to lose his control and just ... end me. I almost got what I wished for huh? Except that night, my entire view had changed, I didn't want that situation anymore but still it ended up happening, like some sick joke."
Hitoshi could feel his chest tightening, his heart aching and squeezing. The thought of seeing a story on the news about a girl with your description found behind a dumpster in the slums of Japan had his stomach in knots and made him nauseous. The fact that you sought that out, made it even worse. 
If you truly had gotten everything you wished for back then, Hitoshi would've been guilt ridden for sure. It was his fucking job to read people, how did he not see that dead and hopeless look in your eyes? 
Was it because when he was around, even if you acted annoyed, that you were at your happiest? Just the act of him stopping by and requesting you, was that what kept you going? What about your own family, there's no way they didn't play a part in your life and no way they wouldn't have helped you, had you asked for it.
"(Y/N), what about your family?"
Your shoulders shrugged and you hummed. 
"Well, I distanced myself from them. My parents especially, I just wanted to escape all the – the idiocy. My brother and his wife, their kids, they were another reason I kept going. My mother and father though, nothing happy every comes out of those relationships. Just being let down time and time again, picked over for something better."
You had no family really, except for your sibling and his small family. Those two kids of theirs were your entire world. Then Hitoshi and Eri came along and your world grew. You and brother would go a few weeks without talking to each other, it was normal. They would get busy with the kids and work, and you would be busy with whatever was going on in your life. Always though, you'd check up on each other after too long and pick up from where you left off.
Hitoshi was silent as you explained your sad and chaotic life to him, taking it all in. He never knew any of this went on, had he known, he would've done more, made his move earlier! You finally pulled yourself from his chest, going back to straddling his hips and looking at him. The man looked to be on the verge of tears. 
You pouted and cupped Hitoshi's face, leaning forward and resting your forehead to his.
"I'm sorry Hitoshi. I'm sorry I didn't value you my life like I should've. Sorry for not being strong enough and being a coward, for being stupid and endangering myself. I just, I had enough of it all, I was tired," a shaky breath left your lips, " - so tired. I wasn't going anywhere fast enough for my liking, I had these dreams that seemed so unrealistic and I got discouraged. You saved me though and each day I'm so thankful you walked into that café almost every goddamn day and showed me that smile and kindness. It got to where I lived for it, now wholeheartedly I live all because of you."
Tears flowed from your eyes and from Hitoshi's as well. When he felt a tear drop onto his shirt the hero captured you in his arms holding you as close as humanly possible. Your cries rippled through him as he held your head to him and pet your hair. You apologized over and over, for the smallest and most unnecessary reasons. Hitoshi quietly cried with you, comforting and shushing your un-needed words.
"You have nothing to be sorry for towards me (Y/N). I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner or did something about it. The thought of you suffering alone, not being this person I've been so blessed to see these past few weeks, it fucking kills me. As long as there's a breath in me, I promise to do everything in my power to make sure you're happy. I'll support and back all your dreams like you do for me, I'll always be here for you to vent to and let your frustrations out on, I'll be absolutely any and everything you could ever need. You have to promise me though that if you ever feel yourself slipping, even just the smallest bit, back into that void, you'll let me know."
You nodded, sniffling and wiping your nose and eyes with the backs of your hands and arms. "I promise Hitoshi. Thank you so much, for everything. I love you so much."
Hitoshi closed his eyes and squeezed you tight, placing a kiss to your temple and wiped your eyes. "I love you so much more."
The next few minutes were spent with Hitoshi holding you close, both of you calming down and getting back to normal. Your boyfriend instructed you wrapped around and hold him tight as he got up from the couch, carrying you to the kitchen and sitting you on the counter. He grabbed a clean rag and wet it with warm water, wrung it out then placed himself between your knees. As you sniffled, Hitoshi used the rag to wipe and clean your eyes and face. The warmth of the cloth made you relax and you gave the man an appreciative smile.
"Sorry I kind of ruined the whole vibe tonight Toshi."
"Baby, you didn't ruin anything. As painful as it was, I'm glad we had this talk. How about we play a friendly game of Mario Kart to get the mood back up?"
You chuckled as Hitoshi took your face in his hands, pulling you to look up at him towering over you and placing a kiss to your lips. Your hands hung from his as you kissed back eagerly. His warm and soft lips were helping to bring the warmth back to yours. The taste of spicy curry was still on his tongue that was welcomed into your mouth and lapped at your own muscle, you enjoyed it honestly. Tongues retreated back to their own caves and your lips enveloped each other one last and long time before breaking away.
"You're on Hitoshi, get ready to get your ass kicked!"
A cocky grinned grew on Hitoshi's face and he quickly tossed you over his shoulder, placing a firm smack to your ass as he carried you back into the living room. It stung more than usual being you weren't wearing pants to protect your skin. You playfully bit at the back of his shoulder, making him only bite your thigh in retaliation.
"Ow you fucker! I'd be nice if I were you, I do get to put together your Halloween costume in fact, and I could be evil about it!"
"What costume? I haven't told you what I wanted to be yet."
You smiled as Hitoshi flung you onto the massive couch from over his shoulder. His arms trapped your head and he looked down on you and leaned on the couch.
"You don't get a say in the matter, Eri chose for you and it's great! You see, you'll be going as the Cheshire Cat, ears and all! For once I'll be the one drooling over you in a kitty cat getup!"
Hitoshi narrowed his eyes at you and grit his teeth. Your finger reached up and glided under his chin then to bop the tip of his nose as you giggled.
"Cat got your tongue Toshi?"
"Bite me," he snapped back.
Propping up on your elbow, your hand cupped his neck and tugged him down roughly and closer to you, the tip of your tongue licked up the side of his throat and stopped at his jaw where you nipped lightly. "Don't mind if I do!"

Noah + Youtuber
Just like Noah dating a youtuber and being used to her vlogging. There’s pictures in here too.
“This is a vlog, I am Lucy and this week I am doing things.” The video went to an intro screen, a black and white sketch of her popped up and winked as -VlogLucyVlog- was written at the bottom.
“Hello everyone, it’s Lucy, I am power walking through LAX because I just got back from Fiji and I have to get ready, film with someone and get to Noah’s movie premiere in four hours so I am stressed.” She took off running as the camera and her camera person (her editor/assistant, Kelsey) chased her.
Two people stopped her as she rushed out, she took quick pictures and ran around the luggage carousel to find her bright red polka dot bags and wait on her uber.
“James said it’s fine to go to his apartment now, he’s set up to film.” Lucy kept tapping on her phone, “And Brandon is bringing my dress choices there to pick from.”
“Do you want any food? I’ll post mates.” Kelsey offered waving down the SUV that came towards them. 
-
“I can’t believe it’s time for his movie to come out, I think I’m freaking out more than him.” Lucy said, sipping on a  drink while James did her eye makeup. 
“Have you seen it?”
“Yes! I also read the books once he got the role. It’s the cutest and everyone will fall in love with the characters. And everyone will love Lana who plays Lara Jean, she is the sweetest and funniest person. Ugh, I love her.”
James and Lucy kept talking as he painted her face. A simple eye with a glossy, light brown lip. He ended his video thanking Lucy for coming over which she thanked him back for even offering. They were good friends, they hadn’t collabed in a while and she didn’t want to be stressed doing her own makeup in a  rush.
Her stylist, Brandon, had outfits laying out down James’ couch and Lucy scanned them, picking two to try on. She held up the mirror selfie Noah had taken of himself; navy suit and different muted greens on the shirt underneath. She scanned the outfits again and put one down and grabbed another.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy shook out the bottom of her hair that Kelsey had helped put half up before straightening up her appearance in the mirror and taking a picture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy: TATBILB READY 🤗
Noah: Wooooahh woahh WOAH 😍 
Lucy: Also not wearing heels, prepare to look two feet taller than me.
Lucy: AND I’m 20 minutes away from your hotel.
A twenty minute Uber drive (that should normally take three minutes) and she practically ran into the hotel towards a group of familiar people with Kelsey filming on her heels.
“Peter Kavinsky, is that you? THE Peter K?” She laughed, wrapping her arms around Noah. “Are you excited?”
“Ahhh, babe. I’m so excited. I’m so happy you could make it.” He turned around and squeezed her to his chest, her head just touching his chin. “You’re so tan, I’m so jealous about Fiji.”
His hands traveled down her arms and grabbed onto hers, “You’re so pretty.” He smiled, looking her up and down again. “I really like you. Like a lot.” His face scrunched as he spoke in his baby voice. “Hi Kelsey.” Noah smiled at the camera that was popped over his shoulder. “Hi vlog!” He took the camera from her, “Today is the premier of the movie and I’m super psyched. Look how gorgeous Lucy looks. Give us your ootd.” 
Noah wasn’t a stranger to the vlogs. He hadn’t been since Lucy and him had met. This was her life, making beauty videos, making vlogs, instagramming her outfits, collaborating with brands and other influencers; doing anything to entertain her fan base of three million and growing.
Boyfriend Tag, Boyfriend Does my Makeup, on set with him, a day at the beach, a vacation to Greece; she had it all on their channel for the last seven months they had been dating.
The red carpet was packed, waiting on the main cast to arrive. She said her hellos to the director, the writer of the book and other actors before getting yelled at by fans for pictures. 
Lucy let Noah go ahead, he was with the cast taking pictures, doing interviews and continuously smiling for everyone. She was stopped for a few interviews, “It’s so good to see you again, we saw you were just in Fiji, how was that?”
“Yeah, Dote Shopping sent us to Fiji and it was honestly one of the prettiest places and I had a blast with all of my friends and made so many new friends and I didn’t want to leave but I did; I had to be back here for this.” Lucy smiled, listening to questions.
“I’m nervous for some reason even though I have nothing to do with the film. Noah is excited, he just wants everyone to see the movie and finally be able to talk about it. That whole cast is so talented and they were hilarious to watch. It’s a cute movie, everyone will love it.”
Kelsey still filmed, walking around the red carpet behind Lucy who randomly would talk to the camera, “I am absolutely starving.” She whispered to the camera, “I know Kelsey has snacks in her camera bag--
“LUCY!” It seemed like the whole population of the red carpet yelled at her. She turned around and saw Noah standing alone near the back drop, waving for her to come over.
She skipped her way over, wrapping her arms around him. The photographers had a hay-day as they smiled at each other, Noah held her in front of him, she pulled him down to kiss his cheek and they stood next to each other smiling for a few normal pictures.
Her cheek muscles were about to cramp from smiling so much when his publicists said they needed to get inside.
“I honestly don’t even know what happened, I think I blacked out that whole thing.” Lucy said to the camera, “Hopefully I didn’t say anything stupid.”
“You probably did.” Noah said, pulling her along by her hand. “I know I did.”
“You always say stupid stuff.” She laughed, leaning up to kiss him. “Hold on.” Lucy stopped him, using her thumb to wipe a little bit of lipstick off his cheek. She kept his face squished in her hand and looked at him, “Wow you’re cute.”
“Stahhhhp.” He laughed, walking away from her.
“A rare Noah Centineo, blushing?” She questioned, following him inside. “His cheeks turned a light pink from a compliment. This is a rarity. Usually it’s him making people blush.”
-
The premier was over and two SUV’s of them went to the Taco Bell drive-thru before crashing in one of their hotel rooms, reading up reviews of the movie as people watched it.
“Babe..” Lucy tapped on Noah’s shoulder as he slept with his head on her lap, “Noah..”
“Yeah?” He was the only one who immediately fell asleep after eating, no surprise to anyone.
“You had like eight hundred thousand instagram followers, right?” He nodded, his eyes still closed, “You’re almost at two million...”
He quickly sat up and pulled his phone from the charger on the table, “What?”
“You’re a trending topic and top on Social Blade and-- I got like two hundred thousand new followers....” She checked her apps, her statistics she tracked and was also texting her manager about it.
“This is .. insane.” He scrolled through instagram as his follower count grew.
“Aww, baby No is a lil heart throb.” She joked, poking his cheek, “These comments are.. intense.”
“Shove your--- I want to have you choke--- Run me over--- Jesus Christ these are like twelve year olds.” His eyes widened as he kept reading, “Oh someone here asked you how good the D was.”
“I should go reply.” She joked, getting her camera out to vlog. “So it’s been...” Lucy checked her wrist where no watch was, “It’s been two hours since the movie came out and someone has become Mr. Popular.” She scanned the camera to him and he grinned back, “He’s gotten like two million followers since it came out, it’s insane.”
“I don’t understand it.”
“You’re soooo cute everyone’s gotta follow you.” She teased, “It’s good, that means people are watching the movie and liking it! Let me know in the comments below if you have watched it.”
“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, on Netflix now.” Noah said, “And in two weeks Sierra Burgess is a Loser comes out.”
“Have you said what else you’re filming?”
“Oh, the Fosters spin-off Good Trouble. I get to come back in one episode.” He danced a little as he sat. “And The Stand In has a release date soon.”
“Geez, after all this I’ll have to fight twenty billion people off of you.”
“You’ll never have to fight people off of me.” He wrapped his arms around her, “You’ll have to fight me off of you.” Noah squeezed her and kissed the top of her head, “Because I think you’re really cool. I like you a lot. Maybe we can .. go out or something.” He quoted a vine, like they always did with each other. Their own personal inside joke that some people caught onto.
“I dunno, maybe.” Lucy shrugged, getting a pillow shoved over her face as she laughed, “Noah! Noah let me see---- thanks.” She pushed her now messy hair from her face, “That’s it, that’s today, we did today, we finished today. Noah’s a movie star so go watch To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix! See you tomorrow.”

Chinese Food or a Salad?
Life is like Chinese Food. 
It can be spicy, sweet, sour, hot, or even cold if it’s leftover in your refrigerator...
Like life, it can also come in combination with something else. White rice that is rather sticky and at times bland...like the weather. Or you can be adventurous and order the fried rice even though your never quite sure what‘s in it.
It’s good and a bit edgier. 
Edgy rice?
Anything can be edgy. Well that’s not really true. Not all people are edgy nor do they like edgy food. What the hell is edgy food anyway? 
Fried spiders? Eggs from animals we aren’t familiar with or that we see hopping happily along on a farm? Insects? Yuk.
No thank you. No spiders for me. I am scared of spiders and for gods sake I sure as hell don’t want them smiling up at me from a plate. 
Spider don’t smile. Their sole intent is to scare the bejesus out of you. Google clown spider if you don’t believe me. 
Anything that has 8 legs that can all move in 8 different directions at the same time is not something I’d like to share my life with. I don’t care how small or “harmless” some of them might be. None of them are harmless if they make me want to jump out of a moving car or a window. 
My ex husband and I had lunch once in Geneva. I have no idea how a small plate of tiny fish ended up on the table but apparently they were an “appetizer”. Despite my hard and fast manners I simply couldn’t eat one. I was impressed that my ex ate one to be polite. The rest of the lunch....some $200 later for the two of us was small but delightful. 
Swiss fish has nothing to do with Chinese food but it was an interesting tidbit to throw in. It was also the last time, we laughed, that we’d ask the Amex concierge where to have a nice lunch on the water....
Your life is probably full of a variety of things....like a buffet. Sometimes you prefer a buffet and you can select different things that you might like or know that you will. That’s your comfort zone. Being able to choose. 
Not being able to choose can unglue some people because they’re not in charge. Doesn’t matter if OCD is involved or not. Mild or otherwise.
I’m a Leo so I can be a little dramatic...I just heard several people I know well laugh out loud. 
I don’t mean to be. My personality is outgoing, generally, and I tend to gravitate toward the edgy, glamourous or unusual. My dad was like that sometimes too. He was a wonderful man but his pale blue eyes could glass over and you knew it would probably be a good time to not say anything. lol 
He was a protector and could be very funny at times but no one gets to the rank of Colonel or higher without some edge. I don’t think.  When he went on a training exercise once when I was in high school he called my mother on some remote field phone.
Mom: It’s so good to hear from you. Where are you?
Dad: I can’t tell you.
Mom: Well what are you doing?
Dad: I can’t tell you.
Mom: When will you be coming home?
Dad: I can’t tell you.
Mom: Well it has certainly been nice talking to you.... 
lol
We both knew he couldn’t divulge anything but later he said because he always liked being with the “guys” he insisted on staying in a sleeping bag wherever they were. After trying to get “the Chaplain” to a hotel and being unsuccessful they insisted on an air mattress for him. He said later that he blew 2 good sermons into that air mattress and when he let the air out at the end the week he “preached those people to death”. 
When he retired he rode a motorcycle to all of the lower 48 states. Loved it. All of it. 
I would say some real edginess came out when he rode with an Air Force buddy to Sturgis, SD but he loved every minute of it. 
I rode on the back of his Gold Wing once. In town. In a small town. Going 35 mph and scared as hell. He had speakers in the helmets and his deep voice calmed me but my hands were over my eyes and I was begging him to slow down. He laughed and said if he did we would turn over. 
WHAT?!?!
This coming from someone who went to OzzFest alone but that was easier for me than riding on that motorcycle. Go figure. 
I laugh at the memory now but he was not afraid of anything. If he was he didn’t show it. He laughed in the face of the lung cancer that eventually took his life. He went about his life sick or not and he liked Chinese food. 
In all honesty it’s a good thing not everyone likes Chinese food but might prefer something more straightforward. Like a salad. 
A salad can be edgy if you want it to be or maybe you’re just trying to change up your dinner. 
If you put enough weird stuff in it not only can you add more calories than an entire pepperoni pizza but also amaze the people at your table as well.
If I order a salad it usually means I’m not in a good mood. 
It means I don’t care to look at any menu and I simply want something I can pronounce and be done with it. Or it means that I feel like the side of a barn and am angry at myself. lol
It can mean that I’ve had enough edgy for the week and I want something calmer....What is a calm salad? Lettuce, croutons, maybe a tomato slice or two, some tired cracker in plastic wrap and a fork. Leave me alone. 
Yesterday I was in a lot of pain and my edginess came out. I had neck surgery years ago and every now and then my neck locks up and it doesn’t move easily or at all and then the muscle that got pissed off starts to loosen after a half a bottle of Advil and the tightness, stiffness and pain starts down my right shoulder blade. It’s always the same side and always continues the same path. After it goes down my arm it’s out of crawling space it leaves.
But that’s life isn’t it? Sometimes something hurts, sometimes you want a bit of spice and sometimes all you want is a crouton and an early night.
There’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t try to do it all, be it all, experience it all and eat it all like you’re in some kind of race. I have to stop myself frequently because I always feel like I’m running out of time. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s a foretelling an early death? Hope not but at any rate yesterday I was ready for whoever had the voodoo doll with my face on it to take the pin out of my neck. lol
This morning I laid on a massage pillow for so long that I have red marks on my skin. Hard core healing I call it. There is no way I’m going in to work feeling like I did yesterday. But you know what? Everyone has days like that. I have a friend awaiting surgery later this month and is in a lot of pain at the moment. 
There are as many different kinds of pain as there are rice balls. Well, not really, but it sounded good as I was typing it. 
Physical pain, headaches, neck pain, broken bone pain...the list goes on and on. Surgical pain, emotional pain, It can all ruin your day. 
Try to do something for someone when you’re not feeling well. I bought the lady’s coffee behind me in the Starbucks drive thru yesterday on my way to work because I like to do that occasionally as long as they’re not ordering for an office party. 
It didn’t make my neck pain go away but it felt good to do something nice when I was on the edge of poking my eye out with my house key. 
So today as you go about your business remember that it isn’t all about you and that other people are going through storms that you know nothing about and if you can make someone else’s day a more pleasant experience you’ll end up making yourself feel better too.
Pay it forward and then tonight at the end of your day order that eggroll.
