last thing i'm gonna say on the buck/tommy subject for the night because i'm seeing this a lot and i feel like people are not appreciating/acknowledging what the show was up against this season: (and if you've read a version of this already...sorry, but idk why this is not clicking for everyone.) was bi buck and buck/tommy fast? yep. it happened in episode four. of a ten episode season. not only do tim and the writers have a limited amount of time to establish that this is not the 9-1-1 we're used to, abc and everyone involved in greenlighting character arcs need to have a large enough sample size to figure out where buck's story goes after the finale has come and gone. dragging out bi buck until the finale would have been a good buildup, absolutely, but then what? could you say for certain that everything would be just as we left it if the audience was less receptive to being hit with a coming out after 9 weeks of not really connecting the dots?

For your event can I suggest college AU with professor Levi and student reader? Smut prompts 34 and 128 🥵 congrats on your well deserved 1k!
WHEN I SAW U PICKED THESE TOGETHER MY JAW D R O P P E D. i also think this is the first event request i ever received and for that i am SORRY!!!!😭😭i’m so late
reader is 23 and levi is 26 btw. i didn’t wanna make them a student bc that’s weird imo
content/warnings: Professor!Levi, Assistant!Reader, some exhibitionism, seducing Levi, established relationship.
wc: ~.9k
Tumblr media
After the last class of the day has filed out, the only sound in the auditorium is shuffling papers and the clack of keys on your keyboard... but the silence is piercing.
Even as Levi sips from his mug of tea, a staunch glare twists his pretty features. You're reluctant to break his focus, but he's been so stressed for however many consecutive days now that you're not only concerned for him, but his students.
Professor Ackerman induces a certain fear in whoever takes his class, and to first-years he's a boogyman. That would be funny if it hasn't been a little true lately.
He's been bitchy. Finals are coming up. You've long-since connected the dots.
You send him a little sidelong look from your small table, and at his long desk, shaped like a half-circle, he immediately notices. The mahogany that it's made of isn't even visible under a mess of papers, folders, and his computer.
Levi, in a mess.
"What is it?" he snips. "I'm in the middle of this."
You toil with the hems of your skirt. At least you got his attention.
Without a reply, you swivel towards him, no longer squeezing your thighs together discreetly like you had through these last two periods, but parting them.
You sigh to catch his attention again, aching.
His eyes widen. "What're you doing."
While his voice his flat, he manages to sound absolutely scandalized. Only on rare occasions have you ever fucked in his own classroom; if he was caught, the consequences are obvious.
A thrill shoots through your belly.
"Encouraging you."
"Encouraging me?"
You deadpan, and spread your legs so your pleated skirt bunches up at your upper thighs.
His chest rises, because you might not be wearing any panties.
"You're stressed—and you can't deny it when Dr. Zoe flinched when they asked if you wanted some coffee this morning. Remember that?"
He is motionless, but there is a certain tell in his eyes. He's holding back.
"Coffee is disgusting," he argues weakly.
"Maybe you need a good fuck to take your mind off it."
As your palm rides up your thigh, sliding your skirt, Levi rubs a hand down his face and pointedly looks down at his desk. Those damned papers.
"I don't have time for this."
You pin your tongue between your teeth, and rise to your feet. As you step up behind him, you drawl, "You've been working so hard lately..."
Your hands settle on his shoulders, and Levi immediately hisses as you dig your fingertips in. They roll back.
It's not just because you've been purposefully working yourself up since lunch; this comes from a place of love. Levi seems to think that the more stressed he is, the more he draws himself thin, the better he is at his job.
Indisputably, no. And you don't much like to be snapped at, either.
"You're hard as a rock. You poor thing," you murmur.
Levi makes a sound, like a strained whimper-turned-groan, and abruptly shrugs you off. You think he's going to say no seriously this time until he stands, turns, and all but spins you around, taking you against his front. You both face his desk.
For a long, arduous moment, he just holds you, breathing harshly into your pulse point. You feel the moment his lashes flutter.
"You..."
You take his hand with a soft squeeze, and guide it downward. "Me? This is about you."
He huffs. "No. I missed. You."
You heart jumps.
Hardness pinned to your backside—He's already hard?—strains as Levi gives in to your hand, and pushes his pointer through your soaked slit. He sighs. "I'm afraid... I can no longer remain professional."
You give him a look over your shoulder; a kiss to his nose. "No one's asking you to, Lev'."
An amused huff is breathed against your neck. His eyes float closed as his finger runs up to your clit, and rolls around in circles. Around and around and around.
You whimper, jaw dropping open. "Please."
"So impatient.... Fuck, you're soaked." He kisses your neck, sinking in his teeth.
You're not sure if he means you, or him.
"Keep, keep going," you sigh.
"I got work to do. Papers to grade," he says, two fingers dipping into your cunt. "But you're getting so tight."
He withdraws them and holds them up slightly for you. Scissoring them displays sticky strings of cum connecting his fingers.
"Can you even wait till we're in the car?"
You scoff softly and lean back against the strong frame behind you, pelting off heat, and the fucking rock pressed to your ass.
"I'm not the one who's hard," you say. "How d'you plan to hide that? Maybe we should fuck once or twice, and save the car for later."
His breathing has grown deep. Palms kneed your plush tits, rolling your nipples firmly under his thumbs.
"When did you start getting so fucking cute with me?" he snips, and squeezes.
"I was always cute," you moan. His muscles turn rigid. "You just started letting me get away with it."
He groans. "Bend over and spread your legs. 'Relieve my stress'."

The fun part about theorycrafting is that every one in a while you get an absurd thought in your head that you know, instinctively, isn't correct, but you start connecting dots anyway because bad theories can still lead to greater truths, and once you start connecting dots you have the moment of "Wait this might actually explain a lot?"
My crack theory for the night is this: Something Unto Death didn't actually kill Robin. Robin's killer...was herself.
Points of analysis to explain myself:
If we assume Firefly and Robin were both killed by SUD, there's a key difference between how we see Firefly die and how we see Robin's body - that is, we see Robin's body. She left a corpse. Firefly exploded into dream bubble paste instantly before she even had time to hit the ground, yet Robin's body was evidently lying around long enough for Aventurine to find it and show it to two other people at different times before it finally evaporated. This theory provides a pretty straightforward answer to this question - the bodies are in different conditions because there were two different causes of death.
The location of the body is also suspect. Both times we see SUD, it's in wide open spaces, which is intuitive because it's a massive monster and it needs room to maneuver. Why, then, is Robin's body lying in the middle of a hotel room? Would SUD really cram itself into that small of a space just to kill someone? Now, there are some possible mundane answers here - SUD could've possibly just teleported a part of itself in, or Aventurine could've just moved the body from somewhere else, but neither of those really cleanly answer this question. By this theory's line of thought, where Robin died wouldn't matter, even if SUD has to find you and kill you itself, because she could theoretically take her own life in any location she saw fit.
What exactly was Robin - interastral pop superstar Robin, pride of The Family - doing alone in the middle of the primal dreamscape? Given how important she is to the optics to the Charmony Festival, you'd think she'd have a 24/7 security detail or, barring that, someone with authority like Sunday keeping an eye on her, yet she managed to sneak off into an area that is largely outside of The Family's control? What if the reason she was there was because she was deliberately trying to get out of The Family's sight so they couldn't stop her?
It's stated multiple times that death shouldn't be possible in Penacony; in the game's own terms, "It's the promise of The Family and the blessing of The Harmony." Even a Memokeeper can't circumvent that...but what about a member of The Family? What about a tuner who can channel The Harmony, and demonstrated that ability earlier in the story?
While Sunday's lines in the epilogue would point to "death" being the culprit in both cases, I'd like to raise the following counterarguments: [A] It's possible he just got bad information and naturally came to the same conclusion we did about how Robin died; [B] Likewise taking the information he's been given and mentally blocking out the possibility his own sister chose death for herself because who would ever choose to believe that if they didn't have to; [C] He knows for a fact he's talking to Sparkle from the start of that scene since he already knows Robin is dead, and could be deliberately skewing his words to keep the truth of the situation from getting out into the public.
This isn't a complete theory - I'll admit as much. If you're looking for an idea of what she did to inflict spiritual death on herself, or why she would want to do something drastic like this: I'm sorry, I don't have them. Maybe the combined stressors of celebrity life and the threat of The Family re-establishing control over her after she'd left them drove her over the edge. We are only a third of the way into the Penacony story and there is very little we can dig into about Robin, before or after her death.
However, if you think this idea is "too dark", that it's "too depressing" and they'd never actually do it: I get it. I came up with this idea and, frankly, I still don't think it's what the real answers are going to amount to. But I think it's a possibility worth some consideration, and I'd like to present one more piece of evidence to my case. This is the one that got me on this train of thought in the first place:
On Penacony, the theme of suicide and self-annihilation are pervasive and constant. You can't go two sidequests without seeing it in some shape or form: Lew Archer, throwing herself off buildings; IV, threatening to do the same; Leslie Dean, an imaginary being, ending his own existence for the betterment of the people who created him; Sparkle, symbolically killing herself over and over by making herself the victim in murder mysteries she creates; even Tizocic II, who erased her life once by wiping her own memories, then, when she got them back, chose to return to her homeworld for what could only be her own execution. There's even more examples I could list, but you get the gist. An entire planet of people, destroying themselves and the lives they've built up, all in the hopes there's something better on the other side.
I would be incredibly surprised if that theme doesn't translate itself into the main story sometime in the next two updates. Maybe it's not via Robin specifically, and there's something much worse lying under the surface in Penacony. Right now, though? We've been given a murder mystery, and murder mysteries are never straightforward when it comes to their victims. It would be very on-genre to make us think a certain Memory Zone Meme did it, right after we saw it kill someone else, only for them to pull the rug out under us.

This is sensitive and honestly no one’s business. (Why he “cried”)
So even though he said he’s fine he’s okay asked people why they keep asking him that they kept doing it. (During those lives) he also said he gets sniffly when he drinks.
And if he did cry or wanted to. Maybe it was just a really bad day. We all have them. Sometimes they hit us out of nowhere. Sometimes they’re days in a row who knows.
People can be supportive without crossing lines. Asking other members why, or even prying is crossing lines. I’m not gonna lie though I didn’t see it as crying. Maybe he did. I’m not gonna rewatch and over analyze it (I skipped to the part. Just to see). (Saw it as like allergies. The eye drops sniffles ect) but still. (Some say it’s the “mood” music and lighting. He was literally doing meditating go to sleep live the 3rd time. Said it’s his goal to put us to sleep (I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or not) Said it was relaxing time (okay not like that) That lighting is always his lives lighting. Let’s not connect dots that don’t need connecting I guess is what I’m saying)
Sorry to put this in your ask box I just get annoyed. People need to leave them alone stop prying stop overanalyzing stop searching for things let them be let them live. No when and when not to do or ask something (Not you. It’s general I want everyone to do this for them)
i agree. people need to understand what boundary is. crossing lines is. its really annoying to see how this is always going to happen. jeongguk said on his live that he wasn't crying. whether you think he is or not, it doesn't matter if he already said no i'm not. however they kept asking and went to the point and asked his hyung. if you want to talk about it go talk somewhere else and preferably using other things to refer to them like "bunny" or "kj" something like that. I'm loving jeongguk established boundaries on his live saying the obvious to armys that hes an adult. its ok to worry but army has to remember that we are strangers to him and that we have no right to say what an adult we dont even know in real life can and cannot do. I'm loving seeing he feeling comfortable enough to speak up for himself. and always in such a kind and sweet way. jeongguk is being so honest with us, hes been doing hourly lives with us almost every week. hes being vulnerable, honest, emotional, funny, cute, kind and sweet. please guys dont ruin this.

penacony pt. 1 - firefly
spoilers for honkai star rail's trailblazer story below:
I'm not a big fan of Firefly so far story-wise which is disappointing, because I love her design. Her personality is very innocent and cute, written to be sympathized with and to maximize moe value, dashed with an obligatory tragic backstory to make you go "awww". because I had seen speculations/headcanons before Penacony was released that firefly may be controlling Sam’s robo-suit, I was expecting firefly to reveal her true colors/motivation that was less “Omg I’m sorry I lied I can’t tell you everything rn but I am not totally innocent :(” and more “I like you and wish we didn’t have to be enemies but I’m going to use you before anyone else can. Sorry, but also not sorry.” (it’s still early, there are definitely more acts to the story, so I haven’t marked this possibility out yet).
but at least for the first part of the main story, the purpose for firefly is just cannon emotional fodder. Later, if she comes back, any further role she plays will probably be cheapened from this lackluster introduction. Unless she has some master plan under wraps and her cute and innocent persona was all/mostly a guise…
I do like some of the moments and cut scenes we had with firefly around Golden Hour and firefly’s dialogue about the struggles with her illness and how Penacony is an escape for her. I just wished the writers leaned more on two strangers who get caught in an adventure filled with hijinks across one of the liveliest places in the cosmos rather than playing too hard into the Lies and Truths and Who Can I Trust Here? game since I felt that that was already established with the representatives of the other factions. MC and firefly going back and forth shouldn’t have been included, maybe, or firefly could’ve been upfront and more flippant—up the ante on firefly’s admiration for the Nameless, since they also represent the freedom firefly lacks due to her condition. That would give her the trust and motivation to show MC around and take her to her secret hideout, and tbh for me MC is spacey and casual enough to go along with it. Firefly MAY be dangerous, but MC is gonna take a chance and trust her bc s/he is having fun and we’re in Penacony and on vacation and everything is so cool! And we don’t have any reason to doubt her, and it’s not like we’re divulging any secrets to her, so what’s the harm in getting to know her? I don’t think this is the first time MC blindly trusted someone either, and it’s believable for me, considering MC has “child-like innocence” (that or is sensitive to memoria or both).
Firefly could totally be honest later that she’s also looking for the Watchmaker’s Legacy, but keep the line that she doesn’t wish us to be enemies. lessen her gratitude that we “saved” her from being caught as a stowaway. Ngl I blanked out a bit during that scene, but to me it was less us and more the fact that Gallagher showed up at the right time to tell the NPCs off, so any following gushing from Firefly about how kind and helpful MC was rubbed me the wrong way (which is why I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop because I was like, this girl can’t be for real). I think we should’ve avoided that whole interaction and met Firefly in a more neutral way, and then overhear that security team is looking for a silver-haired girl (I know it was silver-haired boy in the original dialogue, which is interesting, I expected some sort of reveal with that but it hasn’t come up yet) as a stowaway, or drop other hints in our interactions w/ firefly that don’t add up rather than having Sampo/Sparkle tell us she’s suspicious to our face. but maybe we don’t connect the dots until we’re on the rooftop where firefly is like, yeah I am. (Thus skipping all the lying and apologies and whatever.)
One other nitpick: stop having other strangers in-game ship MC with people they’ve just met. there can be chemistry from first meetings, but it sure as heck isn’t going to come from Bystander 1 and 2 going “oh my god you two aren’t a couple?” or “so sorry to interrupt your date?” and “she’s such a lovely and pretty young girl, you’re so lucky!” it’s just the writers telling the player that “aww aren’t you two cute? Now kiss.” *smushes two barbies together* let it develop more naturally… or at least just have the one-off line, instead of dropping the hints 3 (I don’t remember the exact number) times. like, I’m not against this mistaken-as-a-couple trope at all (I love when it’s used right), but in this instance it just feels like another emotional shortcut for the player to feel invested in firefly. It probably works for some, but it just doesn’t for me, because I know it’s not going to go anywhere. and for good reason, because it doesn’t fit in the story. I hesitate to call it fan service. It might be? Or was it supposed to be funny? Or just to show firefly’s shy/bashful side. The last one is probably it.
anyway this is just my opinion as I casually went thru the main story. I’m not a dedicated plot/lore enthusiast so I may have missed some important points but these are just my thoughts. Mostly disappointed they pulled another Teppei with firefly, although firefly is way more preferable to the shoehorn that was Teppei 💀 I just think a couple of minor tweaks could've made Firefly a more likeable character.
Update: finished the last part of the main story where Firefly is killed. I liked the cut scene, but I think we should've had the build-up tension where we uncover Firefly's tracks earlier?? Like I get that we're supposed to have the shock of a sudden death but since we had no real connection to Firefly it was very eh for me. I think that since we were going to backtrack anyway, we could switch POVs for a second to walk around as Firefly in a series of disjointed scenes and then re-converge as MC right before they meet. Dunno though tbh.
Now, when Aventurine leads us to Robyn's corpse, that was epic.

okay, so i just listened to the ‘feeling rotten’ episode of kraig’s retirement party (glory to kraig)
i’m gonna rope @lifeofbrybooks into this, because i have a compliment for the both of you. i have never enjoyed podcasts until this one. i got so much work done while just listening to you guys bouncing theories off each other, and it was fun. so thank you for proving podcasts can actually be fun to listen to
secondly, i listened to it because you had a theory similar to mine about the gun and why kit can fire it, and i agree with each of your points, but like what bry (at least i think it was bry) said, i’m just lost on why lucie wouldn’t be able to trigger the gun
so I COMBINED TWO OF YOUR THEORIES (i could have potentially zoned out and you may have done this already)
what if lucie could trigger the gun, but because she didn’t have a propelling factor (like the gracelet or kit blasting the riders into ‘thin air’ or links to the shadow world) she can’t unlock it?? if something happens between her and jesse (like you know the snippet where lucie can no longer touch jesse in cot for some reason), could she potentially then be able to fire the gun?
idk i’m tired and i’m probably just doing that one meme where he’s like i connected the dots! and the other guy is like you didn’t connect shit
hello love!!
first of all. I was not ready for that compliment. help 🙈 literally tearing up. I LOVE that you were still able to enjoy our silly chaotic podcast despite.. well everything lol but especially since you didn't have a positive view of podcasts before?? like I'm sorry?? blows my mind tbh and i just.. ugh I'm giving you a kiss on the forehead <3
OKAY. as for the theory...
I love the idea that Lucie has the ability to shoot the gun but just hasn't unlocked it yet. Bry and I discussed recently the potential for needing something to amplify or direct energy/magic in order to shoot the gun (maybe on top of already-established extra demon blood?). If this is how Kit's powers work as is, it would make sense if this (or he, himself?) allows him to shoot the gun. Bry suggested that maybe the gracelet acted in the same way for James, but we did a search of Chain of Iron and were reminded that the gracelet is already off (good fucking riddance) by the time the battle with Belial/Lilith happens and James shoots the gun. SO unless the gracelet has some sort of residual power over James, I don't think it was that which allowed him to shoot the gun. I also don't think the gracelet would have been able to unlock something in him, since it was working so hard to mask his true emotions etc.
your thought about the connection to the shadow realm being a "compelling factor" tho... and thinking about Lucie not being able to touch Jesse. It feels very like.. if she's begun to be given to the pull of the shadow realm because of the shady necromantic shit.. could that then make her able to use the gun in chot. gosh i would kill for that.
I feel like there are so many possible explanations for, or readings of, that snippet with Lucie saying she can't touch Jesse. but what if she gave part of her life force or solidity to Jesse in order to make him the way he is and therefore she exists in part in shadows? what if she had to take energy from the shadow realm to bring him here, or what if she rooted him in the shadow realm? I just LOVE the idea of Lucie having access to the shadow realm in some way too, for that to be the power source of sorts that her and Jamie's powers tie into. And if Lucie touches that in some way now and she's able to shoot the gun...
hmm vanishing into thin air and pulling things from thin air seems to be a common thread for our (supposedly) three special gun-slinging Herondales doesn't it?? I wonder how much that means.
so I guess in answer to your theory/question.. yes. I can absolutely see that happening. and I am dying for more thoughts and I can't wait for chot so we can see if Lucie gets to be a piece of this puzzle!!!
(also it's been a bit since I've listened to that episode, so sorry if I repeated anything I said there!!)

strawberry
― mukbang youtuber!nishimura riki x gn!reader
riki's at it again, and by it, i mean microwaving foods.
genre: humor, fluff, established relationship
wc: 1.2k
warnings: cw food/eating
part of my youtuber enhypen series, the 2nd upload! feel free to read on its own~ ♞──────────────────────────♞
"y/n! i'm warning you, i'm going live!" riki shouts from the living room.
"alright! i'll stay here, let me know when you're done!" his s/o replies in the same volume.
"okay!"
this was a frequent occurrence: you come over to riki's place, the two of you hang out, he needs to film something for an hour or so, you give him space, he finishes, and the two of you cuddle after. while some of your friends question your boyfriend and your lifestyle with him, you really wouldn't have it any other way. 2 and a half years of dating riki, you've been through it all together, so there's no push for a something different or more.
"okay... let's wait for a while, yeah?" riki directs to his audience, watching the chat feed slowly increase in comments. when it seems like enough people have shown up, a smile breaks out on his face. "hey everyone, it's me again!
"you probably already read the title, but yea, imma do it." he points the camera down to the array of strawberry items that will soon be put in the microwave. "i don't know how people eat cold strawberries—they have no flavor to them!"
you scoff to yourself when he says that, shaking the digital trees on your island for fruits to sell.
"try one to see if you like it?" riki reads out loud. "eyyy, if i don't like it, i don't, but i'll prove it to you anyway if there's anyone new watching."
true to his word, the cold strawberry goes right into his mouth, and he makes a face, the camera picking it up. you don't need to watch the live to know that your boyfriend's nose is all scrunched up right now, making you giggle at the thought of it in the next room.
"now that you know," he continues, holding up a plate of strawberries. "i'll be microwaving these now."
the microwave opens and shuts before making its beeping noises as riki presses the numbers and heats them up for a couple of seconds. when they're ready, he's quick to get them out and show them to the camera before enjoying the taste of the warm strawberries.
"mm!" you roll your eyes at the sound of his satisfaction. his dog bisco has made its way into the room and plops next to your side, you gladly petting the curly fur at some points.
after a couple minutes, it seems riki has finished the warm strawberries, because he's moving onto the next item: tanghulu-style strawberries.
"you all said that you wanted me to eat this, and since it's already—" he takes this moment to tap the crystal sugary shell. "like this, i guess i'll just dive right in."
the sounds of delightful crunching can be heard, not unnoticed by bisco, whose head tilts at the eating sounds. you chuckle lightly, scratching its head and making the dog lay its head back down.
"ohh, i know why you all wanted me to eat this," riki acknowledges. "it's like asmr, okay, okay."
he lowers his voice and starts speaking like the asmr videos he's seen with you. "i think i'll microwave it just to taste," he whispers into the mic.
with that, the same microwave sounds of beeps and doors are repeated. "oh shoot, the sugar is making it stick to the plate," riki comments with a laugh, making you snort quietly. "i'll just..." he trails off, using a fork to free the sugary treat from the plate before plopping it into its mouth.
"oh! i like this better too! sorry, no crunching sounds for you," he laughs at the disappointed comments who wanted to hear the satisfying crunch of the tanghulu. "alright, next up... strawberry jam!"
instead of the usual glass jar it resides in, riki lifts up several small packages taken from food places as condiments. "i didn't wanna buy a whole jar—the tanghulu was expensive for no reason! plus, these are free, what can go wrong with free things?" a lot, apparently.
as by routine, he lifts up the wrap of the packaging and punches the back of it to immediately taste the jam. "hmm... it's alright, i guess."
riki lifts his head to read a comment. "huh? what's wrong with taking it straight like that? you know, jay hyung does worse, right?"
you giggle to yourself at the mention of one of his youtuber hyungs as you continue multitasking and listening.
"oh yeah, that reminds me. he did a video with his s/o, it was soo funny!" the youtuber laughs. "poor hyung, he said the manuca honey was so bad, he didn't want to eat honey for a week! go check out his channel after this and watch the video.~
"well, jay hyung needs to thank me for his free promo or whatever. it's time to microwave this noww," riki continues. it's going like normal: the microwave door opening and closing, the beeps of setting the time. but then it isn't. after a couple of seconds of heating, some loud pops are heard, and riki is shouting and laughing at the same time.
you and bisco shoot up and immediately rush to the scene. "riki! what is going on?!"
he turns around with a sheepish smile just as the microwave beeps to signal its end. pointing at the microwave, you notice the stains of strawberry jam on the door and groan out. you walk towards the kitchen and open one of the cabinets to take out the cleaning supplies, failing to notice that you had walked in front of the camera.
the comments go crazy with questions, and riki realizes he hadn't turned off his live, connecting the dots. he's quick to pull you into the frame with a beaming smile on his face. "well, this isn't the best way to go about it, but since you accidentally revealed yourself, i guess i'll say it: this is my s/o y/n, everyone!"
you blink owlishly, clutching the clorox wipes close to your chest with riki's arm around your shoulder. "huh?" you ask before the lightbulb in your head goes off. "ohhh! oh my gosh, hi?!"
you and riki had talked about the subject of your reveal before, but the how was always the reason you had never done it. with the accident, you guess this was the how now. you're laughing with riki at the whole situation as the comments flood with how cute the two of you are together. "riki! we need to clean the microwave before your parents come back," you playfully scold.
"oh right," he agrees before turning back to the camera. "well, two-in-one, everyone: strawberry mukbang goes wrong and my s/o revealed! see you next time!"
the two of you wave to the camera as the audience wishes you farewell and riki finally shuts off the live.
"you're a mess," you tease him, getting an eye roll in response.
"yeah, yeah, let's just clean up, okay?"
"how does this even happen? what physics is this?" you wonder aloud, opening the microwave to start cleaning.
"huh, maybe i have jake hyung's next idea for a video."
a/n: i wrote this in 20 minutes how 😀 i hope you all enjoyed this it's been a while since i wrote for riki hehe but i still judge him for warm strawberries LOL
