You pressed your playlist, and put it on shuffle. You started to undress as your fav song came on, WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Well, it’s not your favorite song, but it brings you back! You restart the song and get into the shower. The warm water instantly relaxing your muscles as you sung along with Cardi.
Aomine had just gotten home from an intense game down on the basketball courts. It was intense for the other players more so, but the game never ended until his team (more him) got to 200 points, that was the bet, which Aomine with no doubt won, 1,000 USD. His sweaty stinky body lurked up the stairs.
He could hear the shower running, and your loud voice, singing: “I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage.” And so on. His eye twitched at the words, he himself very much knowing what those mean, and doesn’t know you talked like that.
He entered the bathroom, wincing at the hit steam, himself already being so hot. You could see him coming in through the glass, but you couldn’t see the look on his face as you continued to rap, “Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me, quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me, I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I'm 'bout to be I run down on him 'fore I have a guy running me.”
The more you rapped those lyrics, the more shocked he became. Who are you? So after your little show, and you dried off in the shower, Aomine no longer was in the bathroom, no he was not. He was sitting on the bed waiting for you to come out so he can wash out that filthy little mouth of yours.
“Uh huh, wanna talk all that shit, probably don’t even know what it means, huh?” You choked on his dick as it reached the literal back of your throat. You wanted to take him how you wanted, but this wasn’t for you.
“Why you cryin’? Was talking about wanting all of this earlier! Just giving you what you want!” He pushed your head up and down, your throat spawning trying to protect its sensitive walls. Your spit was all over you lower chin and his dick. Tears spilled down your face as you felt his dick twitch.
“Take this shit.” He came into your mouth making you force yourself off of him and you coughed. He smirked, and wiped the tears from your eyes.
“Good girl.”
★ — 𝗞𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗜
Kagami laid on your shared bed, resting while you talked in the phone with your friend in the bathroom. A song started playing that nobody in their innocent mind should be singing. You started mumbling to the words as you did your post-shower care. Your friend laughed hearing you sing along with the song, voice much louder.
She pointed out how you sang it, “stop singing about what you want and go get it, he’s literally a door away.” She joked, but that wasn’t very funny to you. “Yeah, but he’s not really into that..” you sighed, and she bursted out laughing mocking you.
Once you got off the phone with her and headed out of the bathroom, Kagami’s chest hit your face. You winced and got ready to yell at him, but before you could he picked you up and pushed you against the wall, you practically sitting on his shoulders. He pushed your panties to the side and began to eat you out
“Kagami, chill!” You moaned as he ate you out. He was grunting like a fucking hungry dog, and you couldn’t help but wonder what got him like this.
You didn’t wonder long, you soon were pulling his red locks as you came for the 3rd time. He flicked his tongue in your bud, making you scream in overstimulation.
He brought you over to the bed and laid you down. He removed your panties, and spit on his dick.
“Could have told me you wanted to do more than what we usually do. A song shouldn’t have decided that.” He slowly pushed in, knowing you weren’t all too familiar with his size. He started thrusting, and you smiled, thinking to yourself,
“Thank you Cardi and Megan.”

Could you do a scenario with the gom + kagami in which their s/o came back from a night out and she's too drunk and doesn't recognise them and when they're about to help you change she says something like "sorry but I have a boyfriend"?
Tumblr media
Midorima
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." The words spilled from your mouth as your breath smellt like the cocktails you've been consumning. Midorima sighed, "This is why I tell you to drink more water all the time Y/n." You looked up, and the recognition clicked in your brain. Only your boyfriend scolded at you like your mom would. "I think I'm as blind as you," you said giggling. "Let me help nanodayo, " he offered again and this time you let him undress you. You eventually fell asleep, safe in his arms.
Tumblr media
Kagami
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." You nearly slurred the words and Kagami groaned at the sight of you. Having no energy as it was already late, Kagami decided to hit the hay. Perhaps you'd recognize him once you plopped onto his bed. He watched you struggle to get out of your clothes impatiently as he yawned. He decided to try calling out again, "Hey babe, are you coming? I'm tired." This time you looked at the man in the bed and did recognize your boyfriend. "Kagami, could you help me undress?" Kagami only turnt onto his stomach and groaned once more into his pillow.
Tumblr media
Aomine
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." You shouldn't have said those words to him, but your drunk ass did it now. First, Aomine looked at you confused as slowly, jealous thoughts began seeping in. Were you cheating on him? No, you couldn't possibly be leaving him, you were just too drunk. Had a lot of boys approached you at the party? Aomine's eye started twitching as he lifted you up. You yelped and started struggling in his arms. "I'm going to make you remember who I am forever." He threatened darkly as he threw you on the bed.
Tumblr media
Kise
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." The uttered words left Kise speechless. Then he chuckled a bit as he realized you were just drunk out of your mind and he could use that against you. "Oh really, is he hot?" You wrinked your nose. "…Yeah?" Kise grinned. "Do you think he's funny?" You frowned. "Ehm… I suppose so?" Kise then went on, "How charming do you think he is on a scale of 1 to 10?" You were getting really confused and slowly it dawned to you that you were being played for fool. "I think you're a 10 on the scale of vanity Ryota."
Tumblr media
Murasakibara
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." You said as you tried to wobble awkwardly to the bathroom. He stared at you until memories of how it felt like to be intoxicated hit him. Oh. He just followed you like a puppy to the bathroom, wondering if you would recognise him in the bright bathroom lights. Intimidated by the dark long figure you cowered backwards, nearly falling onto the toilet seat. It was when Murasakibara turnt the light on that you saw it was your boyfriend all along. Oops.
Tumblr media
Akashi
"Sorry but I have a boyfriend." Those words made Akashi's lips curl with amusement. His precious love was clearly too intoxicated right now, it was a good thing he had arranged a driver for you. "What do you want me to do for you then, miss?" He asked as the perfect gentleman, playing along with your state. "I want you to get me Seijuro, and could you please turn the lights on?" Akashi chuckled lightly and walked over to the light switch. He turned it on. "Ta-da, I have arranged you both." You couldn't help but start laughing too.

I'm in a salt mode so lets get into this
One of the biggest problems people had with the L//S is how poorly developed it's been and how less effort it has been put into it, And don't get me started how Adrichat and Maribug barely interact basically making the ship have 0 chemistry.
But then when ships like Lukanette and Adrigami came along, then there's some Toxic L//S stans who bash the characters (and doxx lukanette and adrigami shippers), with their only excuse being "ThEy R iN tHe Way of adr///ette/L//s (Mainly because they're insecure that Lukanette/Adrigami has Chemistry, proper development and effort and their ship doesn't)
I'm so sick and tired of the hate that Lukanette/Adrigami gets.
I'm so sick and tired of the hate that Luka/Kagami gets.
I'm so sick and tired of toxic L//S stans projecting their ship on every. single. damn. thing
I'm so sick and tired of seeing Lukanette/Adrigami shippers get d0xxed, threatened and bullied just because they don't ship the L//S or Adr//ette
Yikes, people doxxed each other because of ships?? For some reason I'm not entirely surprised. I've seen fandoms with super toxic people and the ml fandom sure can be toxic as hell. If you (general) get so worked up about people's opinions about characters from a kids show, you should be denied access to the internet and instead have access to tons grass to touch. But yeah, even just "normal hate" can be frustrating and discouraging, so it's best to just block those people. I completely understand your frustration.
Luka//nette isn't good because they were half canon, it's good because they have a meaningful bond and the root for drama is always outside circumstances and not the fact that they fundementally don't work together. If Mari wasn't Ladybug, they probably wouldn't have split up. That's why I love this ship so much. Besides, they never got in the way of anything. Realistically, no ship can get in the way of a confirmed endgame ship bc, well, it's endgame. So this argument is kind of falls flat (honestly most arguments against Luka//nette I've heard were either not really important or kind of a very outlandish interpretation of their relationship, I don't care about either.)
Heck, even if Luka//nette wasn't the rival ship but just friends in canon who interacted twice, who cares? Shipping isn't supposed to be serious, it's exploring different dynamics between characters and having fun putting them in different scenarios and have them have 6176310278 different first kisses. There's no rule that you have to be on board with the canon ship.
Now speaking of L//S developement (bc now I'm also in a salty mood and I have thoughts)
I and many others have already talked about how s1-4 didn't really do much with them. But I find it funny when people say that s5 did a great job developing they're relationship because... bitch where? I've watched season 5 (I have no self respect) and everything was confusing and over the place and I think that's bc the writers can't make up their minds about which problems the L//S might face actually matter and how they can be solved.
The season starts with Mari making a big deal about how loving Adrien is dangerous because hero stuff. Oh but actually it doesn’t matter, she likes CN now, problem solved! Oh wait no Chat friendzoned her and Adrien is pushing real hard for Adr//nette so they give up their fucking miraculous (in times of crisis I might add), problem solved! No wait, actually the new heroes suck so they take them back, but that’s okay bc being in love and being a superhero at the same time is actually no longer a problem for some reason! The actual problem is that Mari is incapable of expressing herself because she has trauma. And THAT’S the real shit because fucking everybody gets so invested they organize literal dates for them and watch from a distance until they smooch instead of, oh idk, letting them do things their own way. But actually that also doesn't matter anymore bc Zoe just confessed and Mari was so inspired she immediately ran to Adrien. Oh but Adrien is a senti without free will and he goes to england soon whoopsie. Also Gabriel and Tomoe are now Adri//gami shippers because of course we need an arranged marriage deal type of plot. Oh yeah there's also something about Monarch apparently having all the miraculouses but who cares amirite
See what I mean? There's no structure, no actually overcoming problems, it's just random shit happening without any connection to the previous random shit. The characters don't develop in a meaningful way. Mari's only life goal is making one cohesive sentence in front of Adrien and he's kind of just there. I mean he could maybe feel inspired by Marinette's passion for arts and crafts and try out some stuff or he could continue to have no direction in life. Yes, as a teen it's hard knowing what you want to do later in life, but Adrien doesn't even really have actual hobbies he can define himself through. The writers fail not only to develop the relationship as a whole but also the characters involved as people. They could as easily be a situationship where they meed every two days to make out and it wouldn't change anyting. It's just fan service here and there combined with shallow and forgettable dialogue (I think, there wasn't a conversation that stick with me at least) and idk this maybe works as a first love that maybe lasts for a year before they have a dramatic break up and then move on with their lives, But the show tries to sell this idea that the square will actually stay together forever (or have a constant toxic on-off thing bc that's the vibe I'm getting. Plus Bunnyx sort of implied that).

Enchanted Chapter II
<Prev
Marinette has decided. 
Jagged Stone should never, ever be allowed in another of these Wayne Galas.
If he’s normally difficult to handle by himself, then he’s absolutely insufferable now that he has company that eggs him on!
Now I understand why Penny almost begged me to come…
Not only does she have to take care of Jagged on a daily basis as his manager and long standing friend, now she also has to reign in his childhood friend because lord knows what would happen if they were to be left unattended…  
Honestly, Marinette was expecting more from this Bruce Wayne guy. Jagged talked her ears off about how amazing of a friend he is and all his accomplishments and the work he does for charity and the community. Even Penny joined in saying how great he is.
But, so far, all she’s seen of this guy is him drinking his brains out along with Jagged and making themselves look like fools.
And none of his sons seem to be around to reign him in either. be it because he’s like Jagged and can’t be reigned in, or they just don’t care enough to do it. 
Hopefully they aren’t as bad as he is at these events…
Now that she’s done the whole “introduce to the childhood best friend” part of her duties as her honorary Uncle’s plus one, she’s going off and as far away from these “grown adults” as possible. 
Maybe I’ll be able to find the gentleman from the balcony - ahhh - what are you thinking, Marinette?! 
She had removed her mask while in the corner she found in the garden - wearing a mask all night long is tiring and restricting, even if she insists on using it to keep her identity secret until she feels comfortable sharing it with the world. 
She wasn’t expecting to turn around and make eye contact with the gentleman on the balcony. It was quite a distance from where she was, but after years of being Ladybug, all her senses have been greatly amplified - eyesight included - so it came as no surprise when she managed to make eye contact with him, if only for the fact that it allowed her to see his beautiful green eyes.
Maybe Kagami IS right and I do have a thing for green eyed men…
It’s such a pity that it was a short encounter, being interrupted by Luka calling her back inside to meet the famous Bruce Wayne.
Stealing one last glance his way, she placed her mask back on and turned around.
Now, after having complied with her duties as a plus one, she’s basically free to do whatever, and she’ll take advantage of that and try to find the mysterious green eyed, ginger gentleman. 
Maybe mingling with the socialites of Gotham would help in finding him
The thought made her shudder, but for some reason something told her that she needed to meet him. And if there’s anything the Kwamis Guardian training has taught her, it was to trust her instincts, and right now, they were SCREAMING at her to at least find out his name before the end of the party.
The reason? She did not know, but she also did not completely mind it.
So, with a new mission in mind, she left off to find him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After dropping Lian off at the kids section, Roy moved to the bar hoping to find Jason.
And if he paid more attention to the people in the ballroom in search of the midnight haired Garden Fairy, no one needed to know.
“Who are you looking for?” Jason said, startling him out of his musings.
“Wow, are you ok dude? What got you so distracted that you got startled by that??”
He was so lost in his mind that he didn’t even notice he’d reached the bar and Jason had approached him. 
He’ll never let this go if he knows that I got distracted over a woman
“Sorry, I was just thinking about having to leave Lian alone” please buy this, please buy this. Roy knew it was a losing battle, but he could at least try, right?
“Yeah, yeah. dad of the year award and all that bullshit, congrats. I mean who’s the woman that got you distracted like that, you idiot.”
“It’s not-”
“And don’t give me that crap. I know you Roy, you can deceive yourself, but you definitely can’t lie to me. The only reason other people fall for it is because they’re either not trained like us, or they don’t know you. Now spill them beans bitch.”
“Fine.” and with a long sigh, Roy explained about how he found a Fairy out in the gardens and how he felt like he absolutely had to find her again.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA- I’M SORRY- HAHAHA- A FAIRY! A GARDEN FAIRY HAHAHA! you’ve definitely been playing too many fairytale fantasies with Lian!” Jason said between gasps of breath while trying not to die of laughter. 
Roy knew that this was coming, but it was just ridiculous. Come on, he’s a dedicated dad and “Garden Fairy” was definitely the most suitable of names for the beauty in the middle of the well cared for greenery!
“Haha, we got it, it’s hilarious! Are you going to help me find her or not?” Roy rolled his eyes when Jason was still gasping for breath and trying to stifle his laugh at the same time, which wasn’t exactly working.
“I’m sorry, haha, I will! Of course I will! Just thinking about the last time you got laid makes me want to cry for you, so of course I’ll help when you show interest in a woman for the first time in almost 6 years now. She could be the one you know!”
insert deadpan look “Are you for real now Jason? And I’m the one playing too many fantasies with Lian? What about you and your romances? Aren’t you sticking your nose too far into the books at the newest book store around the corner of that one safe house?”
“Hey! Those books need to be read. They’re masterpieces that you’d never even imagine yourself to be able to understand. The sentences are immaculate, the plot is well plotted, no holes in a single chapter. The reading is so smooth it’s like laying on a bed with brand new silk sheets, it’s-”
“Ok nerd, I got it! You like reading them and I’m an idiot who will never get it, now get your romantic brain to work and help me find her”
“Alright, alright. Bossy much?”
“I heard that.”
After all the bickering, both men turned and discretely glanced at the crowd while making short conversation, looking for Roy’s mysterious Garden Fairy.
It took a bit, but finally, his eyes found her form. For some reason, she was now wearing a red, black and gold mask that she wasn’t previously wearing in the garden, and that may have contributed to how long it took to find her.
She was talking with a family that owned some sort of textile company in Old Gotham, but her eyes were glancing around the room, seemingly looking for something. Or maybe someone.
He didn’t like alluding himself, because it could not be true, and the disappointment would be too much to handle. But she really seemed to be looking for someone, and each time she failed to do so, he could see her nose scrunching - even with the mask - and the disappointment was clear in her bluebell eyes.
He was begging every entity to have her eyes meet his, and it seemed his prayers paid off, because not even a second later, her eyes landed on his. He saw recognition flash through them and a bit of pink took over the part of her face he could see. He was happy to see that reaction on her, it meant that she wasn’t completely uninterested as he had feared she would. 
He started moving towards her and hoped he could convey in their conversation with their eyes, just how fascinated he was to have found her in those gardens earlier and that he would like to know more about her.
—————————————-
Marinette saw the ginger gentleman from the balcony move towards her, and from his eyes, she could tell he was just as interested in finding out more about her as she was about him.
So, turning away from the prospective business partners, she moved towards him, eventually standing only a couple feet from each other almost in the middle of the dance floor. 
Glancing at the people already waltzing, she turned towards the ginger gentleman, an invitation clear in her eyes.
He took a step closer, hand reaching out for hers, and in the smoothest voice she’d ever heard, he asked her for a dance.
She placed her gloved hand on his inviting one, and that was all he needed to pull her closer and start the waltz that would change their lives.

The best thing about Kuroko no Basket's retroactive storytelling is that it's like a puzzle board. The story starts a few months after Teiko parted ways, and literally everything in the story is defined by those three years, but we don't get all the pieces right off the bat. It starts simple, with Kuroko saying the championship game made him question Teiko's policies, and then it slowly builds and builds. They keep dropping tiny details at us. You learn as early on in the practice match against Kaijou that Kise only joined the GOM in their second year. You almost miss it (or at least I did until my fourth rewatch) but in the match against Seiho, one of the players callously mentions wanting to score at least 30 points to match Seirin's 13 and you see Kuroko go cold and angry for seemingly no reason; of course, anyone would get annoyed by that but that particular comment is obviously foreshadowing the big Ogiwara reveal + the truth about what actually happened in the championship that we get in season 3 (the cruel 111-11 play).
Similarly, when Kagami first asks about Aomine ["he said he used to be your light"] Kuroko only gives him the broad strokes. He doesn't mention how they met or how Aomine stood up for him when he was struggling or any of that – he gave just the need-to-know basics, which is that Aomine lost his passion for basketball after his growth spurt came too soon and he became too good at it. And that they used to be partners. It's only later that we learn about the coach's lack of intervention, Akashi's lack of intervention, Nijimura quitting the team and other such factors that make Aomine's (and everyone's) situation far more complex than the simple summary Kuroko initially gave in early Season 1. It's only later that we learn the depth of Kuroko and Aomine's bond and that Aomine was the one who inspired Kuroko not to give up. It's such an excellent choice to strategically withhold each "piece" of the story and wait for the perfect moment to put it down, so to speak.
Ironically enough, KNB's storytelling style is both it's greatest strength and greatest weakness. For the most part, the retroactive narrative works well, but sometimes there are silly slip-ups like Takao asking Midorima if his former teammates are "strong" (we learn later that Takao has actually played Teiko before in middle school, so why would he ask Midorima that?) and Kise asks Kuroko why he quit after the championship game (Kise should know since. Well. He was there.) At times like that, it becomes retrocontinuity and not retroactivity because it's clear the author had some of the story planned, but other parts he was making up as he went along.
And that's not at all a bad thing! Manga, after all, is a medium where sales drive the story and a lot of it is just making up things as you go along because it's impossible to have a storyboard right off the bat if you don't know how your story will be received when it comes out. The initial plot lines change (we know this to be true, since Kuroko and Akashi were initially meant to be brothers and that Fujimaki had a clear idea of how exaggerated the basketball should be only after he wrote Midorima). What this means on a critical perspective is that KNB is an amazingly ambitious story; it plans a future without fully fleshing out the past, and sometimes it fumbles but sometimes it accidentally shits out a golden brick. KNB, to me, is amazing because it captures that innate humanness in art, that one step away from perfection that gives us a glimpse into how stories are made, what decisions make the final cut, what choices were so important that they survived every draft, revision and retcon. All because of its narrative!

what's your opinion on miraculous ladybug?
i consider ML to be kinda a hot mess of a show, it's a show with a lot of cool ideas, but for one reason or another, never quite makes a lot of them work
it's desire to be story focused gets held down a lot because it also needs to be mostly episodic, so events feel like they happen at a snail's pace until s5 where they clearly slammed on the gas because they thought the show was over.
you can tell stuff gets retconned as they go along and that some elements are underdeveloped. Not to mention the elements that are dropped entirely or never touched on.
the show is basically at a constant war with itself, it's got potential but doesn't seem to have the best priorities, especially when it gets more story focused. You can only drag out the romance for so long before it stops being fun, meanwhile you want lila to be your next big bad but she basically vanishes for a decent chunk of the show for example so there's not nearly as much setup as they could of given to make people more compelled in her as one.
and there's more then that, putting what happened with chloe aside, Zoe could be a potentially interesting character if they explored her relationship with her sister more or even with other cast members to get to know her better.
But she's in very little episodes, there's not nearly as much to say about her, and she's given a miraculous so quickly that it all feels like it's there to be a slap to chloe rather then building up a new fleshed out superhero character . That's just an example of not handled well ideas.
so many ideas are good on paper, not handled well in execution.
now that's not to say there's nothing good in it, on occasion, this show can make some good episodes, i loved the paris special, the movie was decent, and the premise of the show is genuinely pretty cool with the kwamis and animal superpowers.
i like a lot of the cast members, kagami, felix, luka, juleka, Nathanial, ect ect
the show can make some great villain and hero costumes
but the show as a whole is still mostly a mess, that even it's highlights aren't enough to save it if you watch it as a complete picture.
HOWEVER, i find the show to usually be an enjoyable hot mess, i didn't go into the show expecting a serious show akin to something like owl house or gravity falls, i came in expecting a ridiculous show that went off the rails more and more as time went on and at this point i watch just to see how bad and crazy it can get. I just don't take it as seriously.
It would be cool if this show had a serious story and handled it that well but i'm in it more for the ride then i am here to be seriously invested in the plot. Even if the show does make me genuinely mad in quite a few places.
Cause this show has a lot of the same problems as like, star vs, like a LOT of the same issues. But star's downfall felt like a betrayal because it felt like the crew cared about handling these things well when you joined that it was more insulting to the audience about how little they did care.
At least ML has the benefit of not being a show i ever took too seriously, and i think that prevented me from being as angry as i could be. Doesn't mean i don't get mad at it, just means my expectations were always a bit lower from the beginning.
i'm here to see how crazy the show can and will get, and hey, maybe on occasion, get to see the team make some good stuff

GrojBand Comeback Tour - Kin Kujira
Support me over at Patreon: www.patreon.com/skulljackxiii
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: When looking back at the show and remembering what Kin was like, he didn't feel that much different than his brother, but I guess that was part of why they got along so well. Anyways I thought that in this version, he plays more in his role as a genius, where he's more dedicated and prideful towards his intellect. Of course I'm still keeping him as a weird and hyper personal so that he easily goes along Corey's and his brother's antics, but he flips a switch when it comes to his projects. Let's say that something goes wrong with one of his inventions or if something offends his knowledge, he would be go on a tirade and start cursing left and right when he's alone, though comedically he would immediately calm down in front of his friends as if nothing happened. He never directly goes off or shown to have any kind of hostility towards anyone, but there is only one exception, Kim. Whenever Kin sees Kim, they both can't help themselves but get hostile and have this kind of pissing contest against one another to see who was more smart. Kin doesn't exactly know why he's so honest when it comes to Kim or how she gets on his nerves so quickly and the same could be said about her as well, the only one that seems to get a clue is Konnie.)
Role: Kin is one of the key members of Grojband, taking the many vital roles as the band's keyboardist, audio technician, and remixer; many of the final music productions is almost entirely relied on him. Along side that, with his knowledge of science and machines, he's also relied as the band's auto-mechanic for the maintenance and repairs for their tour bus.
Bio: Kin lived in Japan most of his life with her brother Kon and the rest of the Kujira Family, along with another named the Kagami Family. Parents of both families were inseparable friends who spent many years together, thus he and his brother grew up knowing the children of the other family, Kim and Konnie. Kin was fond with Konnie and treated her like family, but for he couldn't quite get along with Kim. Whenever he saw her, he would start to flare up and butt heads with her over every little thing, especially when it came to academics. This is because unlike Kim, Kin was not born as a prodigy, in fact he did quite poorly in school to a point where at times even his brother would have better grades than him. It bothers him at times, especially when he compares himself to a natural born genius like Kim, but that didn't discourage him from improving his mind. Kin has always prided himself with learning and especially towards things he didn't know or quite understood.
For years, he constantly studied, analyzed, and improved all his effort in order to surpass Kim and show that his hard work could overtake her natural born talent; though she didn't make it easy and would gloat whenever she came out on top. As this continued, Kin would only grow from all his failures until one day he finally did it and beat Kim in a subject, that being music. His hard work paid off and since then both him and her would go back and forth trying to out due the other in all kinds of fields. Despite whatever awards or recognition either one gained from their rivalry, they didn't pay heed as they solely focused on one thing, each other. 
One day, his parents were informed to be transferred overseas for work, so the Kujira Family, along with the Kagami Family, moved to America. With his weird personality, it didn't take long for Kin to get along with people in his first couple of days. He was quite the busybody as so many people tried to get him into so many after school clubs and communities due to his dedication and intelligence. But the one that finally got him was actually a band from his brother's classmate, Corey Riffin. Kon wanted them to play music together since Kin already accumulated many music awards from being a ceremonial pianist and a composer. He was hesitant at first, but after hearing Kon out some more and finally meeting Corey, he was more than willing to join up.  After meeting Corey in person and hearing his dreams, his words resonated with Kin and made him really want to see what he'll do next.

i know i’m a little late, but is adrien actually a sentimonster?
i purposely waited until after the episode where kagami and felix explain everything came out in english, so i could fully understand everything and be able to make a better argument.
so, in the episode, it’s said that adrien is presumably a “miracle baby”. usually, this would just be taken as a lucky chance. then when amelie was struggling to have a baby, gabriel gives felix’s father the peacock miraculous. and later, felix says something along the lines of “the boy met someone who was the same” or something, referring to his relationship with kagami.
so, felix is confirmed a sentimonster. kagami is, most likely, a sentimonster. this would explain why kagamis mother is so calm about gabriel being monarch, like she’s known about the miraculous all along.
but then, we’re brought to adrien. is he really a sentimonster?
adrien and felix are identical, though they are cousins. is that a coincidence? i think not. if adrien is a sentimonster, then this would make sense, because felix’s father would need to make felix a sentimonster of something. plus, the amoks were in the twin rings.
this brings me to the second piece of evidence: the twin rings. felix stole the twin ring (emilie, not gabriel’s) for his mom, who then wanted him to have it. this would make sense, bc amelie would want felix to be free. if he had his own amok, then he couldn’t be controlled. and ofc, he wasn’t being controlled when the rings were passed on to the agrestes, bc emilie was wearing felix’s.
but, this also makes me confused: if felix’s amok was in the ring, then why did he give it back to gabriel when he exchanged it for the peacock miraculous?
but then, i asked myself: “remember when nathalie was given one of the rings?”
ah, yes. in season five, or maybe earlier, i have no fucking clue, gabriel gave nathalie one of the two twin rings that he now possessed. i’m assuming that this was emilies ring (so felix’s amok, i guess..), bc gabriel would still want to control adrien himself. but, later in the season, gabe takes it away from nathalie, saying she’s basically giving opposite commands to adrien and betraying him. so, does that mean adrien is also connected to the other ring? to both rings? yes.
they are the twin rings, after all. what happens to one happens to the other. but i’m still confused. how is felix not being controlled by the rings, if adrien still is? gabriel and nathalie could easily make felix their toy, but they somehow don’t. maybe it’s just a plot hole, but something is not right.
honestly, i have no idea. someone PLEASE express their opinions and ideas in the comments/reblogs because i have no idea what is true and what’s not.
also i’m too lazy to reread this so if something doesn’t make sense let me know!!

WIP Wednesday: 09.13.23
So uh...about that Six Sentence Sunday...anyone actually remember that Selkie AU from like three years ago? 😂
For the past year, ever since the accident, Kagami had gone down to the beach below the cliffs every day.  Some days she stayed there longer than others, walking along the pebble-strewn beach with her bare feet in the lapping waves.  Sometimes she took Gabriel with her, especially if it was one of the days the seals had come up to the rocks.  She would spend hours down there on those days, Gabriel giggling from her lap as the seals played on the rocks.
Adrien hadn’t liked it at first.  He still didn’t know how he felt about it.  The sea had already tried to claim her once, and he worried sometimes that her draw to the beach was just the sea trying to claim her again.
He had only once tried to keep her from the beach.  She had grown hysterical, pounding on the manor doors as tears streamed down her face and guttural cries tried to leave her throat.  It was the closest to speech she had come since the accident, those ragged barks, and they had terrified him.  When he had finally been able to pry her from the door and Nathalie had been able to open it, she had thrown him aside and sprinted as fast as she could towards the beach.
He had found her later, asleep on the rocks with an older seal curled around her.  Stormy gray eyes had watched him as he’d approached.  He’d never been one to ascribe human attributes to beasts, but he would have sworn that seal had glared at him with nothing but loathing.  He had chased it off and carried Kagami back to the manor, and she hadn’t woken until late the next day.
Kagami liked the seals.  She liked the beach.  She liked the sea.
He didn’t remember her ever being particularly fond of those things before.
When he had asked the physician’s opinion, he hadn’t had any good answers for him.  It was part of the trauma, probably.  But shouldn’t being shipwrecked make her want to stay away from the sea?  Not always.  And the seals?  Maybe a seal saved her.  She doesn’t remember that night, Lord Agreste.
***
It had been months since the Matriarch had come to the beach, but when she burst from the waves in a spray of salt to land heavily on the rocks she immediately had their attention.  The beach had been a cacophony of agitated barks, Rose arriving shortly before to discover the human missing - her mate arriving not long after that, barking at Rose to come back, don’t run off like that, have you learned nothing???
The barking stopped with Anarka’s arrival, an eerie silence falling over the pebbles and sands as all heads turned towards her.
Her deep barks echoed over the rocks, her stormy eyes watching them all sternly.
What be the meaning of this? she demanded, turning her large gray head towards her daughters.  Rose, ye cannae -
She was here! Rose barked, slapping her flippers against the rocks.  She was here, and they let her go!  They’ve lost her again!
Lost who? Anarka asked, her eyes narrowing.  A younger seal approached, hesitant.
It had been months.
None of them had thought…
A…a human, he said, shifting anxiously under that imposing stare.  From the house above.  She…she has been coming to our beach for some time now.  It is why no one shifts here anymore.
Anarka’s eyes flashed in the low light.
A human?
Here?
No humans ever came here.
She was no human! Rose spat, the bark mangled with her snarls.  She was…!  It was…!
And she collapsed against her mate, sobbing, unable to think the words when the bitter hope was still so damnably fragile.
The others quickly relayed the tale, as Juleka had rocked her mate to sleep.  About the strange human girl that had started coming to their beach.  About the human child she often brought with her, and the blond male - her mate, they believed - who watched from the path and always swept her away if she came too close.  How they had avoided shifting whenever she was present, unsure and untrusting of her reaction to their kind.
How Rose had tackled her without a thought to any of this, shifting right on top of the poor girl, only to have her faint on her.  How Rose had ordered them to keep watch over her, but how her mate had ultimately come to retrieve her before they could return.
Why did Rose accost this poor girl? Anarka demanded.  Her keen eyes did not miss the nervous looks the others had shared.
She…we are not certain, Mother, the cow nearest her answered hesitantly.  But we suspect…
It was clear what they suspected, when the poor thing came barreling towards them late the next day.
They had all heard the commotion from the house, even down by the water.  The banging.  The ragged barks echoing from high above.  An attempt at their language, it seemed, one torn from a throat that had seemed to forget its tongue.  A sense of unease had settled over the bob, low yips and mutterings rising over the sound of shuffling flippers.
“Kagami!” a desperate voice echoed high above.  “Kagami, please!  Come back!”
They heard her before they saw her, the gravel and sand from the path skittering down the hill ahead of frantic feet.  The shouts dying out behind her - “Don’t tell me to let her go - I can’t…!” - as more of those horrible, ragged barks drew closer.
Until she stumbled onto the beach.
Until she saw the Matriarch there, tall and imposing and strong on the rocks.
…until her expression had crumpled, her mouth moving wordlessly as she tried to choke out a word - a name - with sounds that wouldn’t come.
Anarka would know that name anywhere, though.
Ma, the lips moved, even if there was no voice to speak it.
The sealkin had parted like a wave as she stumbled towards her on legs shakier than a newly-shifted pup’s, but she had barely crossed the beach when they were giving out on her and she was crumbling towards the pebbled sand.  Anarka moved then, letting out an anxious bark as she shifted and ran towards her, her coat falling forgotten on the rocks behind.
They had all seen the human girl from the house over the years.  Watched from a distance as she grew, as she came to stay with the son of the cruel man with the white hair and hard eyes.
And perhaps, from a distance, the human had looked the same, if a bit thinner.  Her hair had always been just as short, if a bit neater.  She had never come close enough to tell the color of her eyes, though even from a distance they had always looked darker.
The lady of the house had never come to the beach before.
They had only ever seen her from a distance.
It was easy to make mistakes, from a distance.
But this one…this one, they should have known.  Even out of her skin.  Especially out of her skin.
“Ye worthless lot…” Anarka hissed as she held the girl closer, rocked over her as a keening cry, a garbled sound, tried to leave her throat.  “When were ye planning on telling us?  How long would ye have us suffer?”
They should have recognized one of their own.
They should have recognized Marinette.
The girl was hysterical, unable to form words as she whimpered and clung to Anarka’s bare shoulders, rough nails scratching as they slipped along the sea-wet skin.  It wasn’t long before she had cried herself to sleep, and Anarka carried her back to the rocks.
…she…she has a mate, one of the younger cows said, looking anxiously towards the house above.
“O course she does,” Anarka bit, wrapping her skin around Marinette to keep her warm as she shivered in her arms.  “Mad with grief, he is, and ye lot let her stay…”
No, Mother, a human mate, the cow said, coming closer.  The blond man.  From the house.  He…he comes for her.  Takes her back.  Takes her home.  She…she is…are you certain?
Marinette’s eyes had always been brighter, her hair longer.  Smooth.  Silky.  Not the dull, hacked-to-bits mess currently trying to grow out on her head.  But the last any of them had seen, she’d been sinking to the depths, tangled in the wreckage of a human ship.  Who could know what else her poor girl had been through?  What cruel things those blasted humans had done in a attempt to keep her hostage?
…but sure enough, the blond came shortly after.  Anarka slipped back into her skin and watched as he approached, startled to find his…his…his what?  What could he possibly think their Marinette was to him?
She belonged to another.
She belonged to them.
She was sealkin, one of their own, and he was nothing but a rotten human, a filthy thief taking hostage of something that had never belonged to him.
He had set his jaw in a hard line, and not a moment later he was rushing towards the rocks like a madman, shouting and waving his arms as he told her to go, get, leave Kagami alone!
…Kagami.
That was not the name of the girl he scooped up from the rocks, the girl he bent to press his lips to her cool forehead as she slept on.  The girl who leaned into him, whimpering as tears streaked down grimy cheeks and a small, too-human hand fisted in his billowing white shirt.
Anarka watched them go, her heart breaking anew in her breast as she was forced to watch her daughter be taken from her again.
Ma… Rose called, her voice so soft and quiet - so scared - in her head.  But Anarka could barely hear her over the echoes of those barks, those voiceless cries, playing over and over in her head.  As that blond gully-raker walked farther and farther away, until he disappeared around the bend in the path and up the cliffs, taking with him…
The head of the Matriarch tipped back, her mouth opening wide as an aching, desperate howl echoed uselessly across the waves.

- mibuchi would avoid paying the meal if the team went out for dinner.
- if a girl came up to sakurai to get his number, he would 100% drop everything in his hands shake and freak out then apologize for freaking out then apologize for apologizing.

- riko bought a whole punching bag in her room so she can pretend it’s the seirin boys when they don’t listen to her

- takao does streaming in his free time (so like never) but when he does, when he does he gets distracted and just spins around his chair forever until he gets dizzy and throws up
- kiyoshi would float in the air if he smelled pie fr
- when alex temporarily lived with kagami, they definitely played rock, paper, scissors every night to see who did the dishes. but kagami got mad whenevr he lost so they just kept on going
- every year for Halloween, izuki tried to get the group to go along with his idea, when it was really stupid. and izuki and hyuga would just have a yelling match, well more just hyuga yelling at izuki but
- kise is the type of guy who moves around in his sleep. and i mean he kicks, punches, slaps, everything unintentionally while sleeping.
- whenever takao or the GOM get into any sort of trouble, they either hide it from midorima or they call him to help them. either way midorima finds out

When Eyes Meet- Kagami Taiga
Tumblr media
Aomine - Kise - Murasakibara - Kuroko - Akashi - Midorima A/N: I never actually wrote an x-reader one shot with Kagami before, so I decided to do his entry in the mini series next. The soulmate concept belongs to ElfQuest
Ever since the dawn of humanity, we were born with two names. One we use in our everyday life, and the other is the name of our soul. This is a very special name, an intimate one. It was only to be shared with family or friends as close as kin. It was a private piece of you. But as long as people remember having two names, they can also recall a certain phenomenon that would expose ones soulname to another. This phenomenon, was Recognition. It occured without a pattern or rule to it. There were people who had known one another for years until it happened, but it could also be upon meeting the very person. All one knew, was they locked eyes with one another, and they knew. This was what society would come to refer to as, 'the moment you knew you had found your soulmate'. You hadn't Recognized yet, thankfully. Yes, thankfully, because you preferred to finish high school and get your life together before Mr Right would waltz into your life. You were a goal oriented young lady, even if you said so yourself. Studious and hard working as you are, your friend group consisted solely out of bookworms such as yourself. You were waiting for one as we speak. You expected him to pop out of nowhere, after all, he always did. But, today wasn't like usual, as you spotted the fiery red hair trailing towards you. 'Kuroko brought Kagami along again, huh? What did he flunk this time?' The thought brought a small, amused smile to your face, because as dumb as he was Kagami was always nice and pleasant company. It was rare to meet a guy who was so respectful and relaxed around girls at your age, as everyone else except for the rare soul such as your mutual friend Kuroko seemed to be set ablaze with teenage hormones. With Kuroko, it seemed a given considering his personality, but Kagami was such a typical teenage boy in every other area, that his calm around the opposite sex felt much more surprising to you. You greeted them as they appeared in front of you. "Hello, l/n-san." Kuroko greeted. "Hey l/n-san," came Kagami's more casual greeting. "Shall we go to the library?"
You giggled as you corrected Kagami's homework, Kuroko had went off to get you guys something to drink after sitting in the library for nearly two hours. Kagami's cheeks were a flaming red. "Is it honestly that bad?" He grumbled with a disappointed face. You looked up at him. "You have a lot of spelling mistakes, but I honestly think its kinda adorable." He looked at you surprised, his face a little red. "Is that so?" You hummed in response before you shyly looked back into your textbook, you hadn't meant for your compliment to make him blush and you didn't knew why it made you so happy on the inside. But Kagami kept looking at you, and his intent gaze forced you to make eye contact once more. "Something wrong?" "Eh well, I…" Kagami stumbled nervously and it made your heart halt. "After the Winter Cup and exams are over, would you like going on a date before I go back to the US?" "You're asking me out nearly 4 months in advance?" You asked, frowning. "Well, if things work out it could distract me, and these upcoming months are so important. I seriously want to graduate you know? But I really would like to go out with you at least once before I go back to the US!" Kagami babbled a bit and his anxiety yet level headed thinking came to you as the most delightful of surprises. You smiled and just as you thought Kagami was a guy worth taking a chance on as unlike everyone else he clearly had his priorities straight, it happened. "Iyam?" You asked with our mouth hanging open. "Irhn? He asked, more as a confirmation of the soul shattering event. He couldn't believe his luck, this was pretty much a guarantee that you wouldn't lose interest once he left the country, which had been his biggest worry upon the idea of asking you out. Neither of you noticed Kuroko creeping closer. "From the looks of it, she can't say no to your plans of a long distance relationship." You heard Kuroko's voice and saw him drinking his vanilla milkshake with a smirk. You all laughed, and accepted your own milkshake with a moony grin to match Kagami's.

Halloween ask of Nigou staring at nothing and absolutely scaring the shit out of Seirin please 🙏
Glad to have you back!
Question to my readers, have you ever experienced something supernatural or otherworldly that you couldn't explain? I have. Let's talk about that! (ʘ‿ʘ✿) Admin Neon
Tumblr media
It had been raining all day, the sky overcast with dark clouds that looked heavy with precipitation. Riko had been forced to turn on all the gymnasium lights, the sky outside providing no natural light due to the less than desired weather. It made for a gloomy atmosphere that had the entire team on edge from the beginning of practice all the way until the final whistle. Even now, as they cleaned up after themselves and tidied up the gymnasium, there was a tension in the air that couldn't seem to dissipate.
"Come on, first years!" Hyuuga called out, a hand cupped around his mouth so his voice would carry. "Get a move on with putting that equipment away so we can all get out of here."
Across the gymnasium, Fukuda, Kawahara, and Furihata were rolling along a cart full of basketballs, their destination the supply closet. With quiet grumbles and dragging feet, they hauled the cart over to the single door that held all their supplies.
Or, at least, they would have if not for Kagami standing in their path, blocking their way.
"Hey man, you're kinda in the way," Fukuda deadpanned, nudging Kagami with the other end of the cart.
When the taller male still refused to move, his back facing toward his peers, Furihata leaned forward to get a better look at the team's ace. He looked pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and a single shaking finger was pointed in the direction of the door. When Furihata's eyes followed Kagami's direction, he saw Nigou sitting at the entrance of the supply closet, his nose up and his eyes locked on something inside.
"Aw, it's just Nigou," Furihata commented with a short laugh, patting Kagami's back. "You're seriously still scared of him?"
The sound of a keening whine coming from the small dog caught all their attentions and the boys moved their gazes back onto the small animal. He was fidgeting, paws lifting from the ground only to press back down, and his ears were flat against his head. His tail, normally on a never ending cycle of wagging, was flat against the ground. They were sure that if the dog were standing, his tail would be between his legs.
"What's the hold up, guys? You know how Hyuuga gets when you guys take too long." Izuki was shaking his head as he came up behind the group of first years. When he noticed them all hesitating, he glanced around to look at the supply closet door. "What's Nigou doing?"
"I don't know," Kawahara responded. He had moved to stand behind Kagami, using the taller male as a shield. "Looks like he's staring at something."
"Or someone," Fukuda added ominously.
"Don't say stuff like that!" Furihata cried, shivering at the thought of Nigou looking at something unseen.
The boys hadn't noticed Kiyoshi walking up as they stared at the small dog. Having heard the tail end of the conversation, the Iron Heart could only chuckle as he added in his two cents. "You know, my grandparents used to say that animals were sensitive to other worldly things." He looked down at Nigou, crouching slightly as he talked to the dog. "How 'bout it, Nigou? You seeing something we don't?"
When Kiyoshi's only response was a low, warning growl coming from Nigou, the dog's eyes still fixated on the open supply room, all the boys felt a sudden chill run down their spines. The air was filled with silence as they wrenched their eyes toward the open door, the room inside pitch black. Above them, the slow pitter patter of rain began to bounce of the gymnasium roof.
"Nope, fuck this, I watch movies. I know what happens next." Kagami dropped the broom he'd been carrying onto the floor with a clatter, turning on his heel and speed walking away from the area.
"Kagami, you need to put that away," Hyuuga scolded from across the gym.
"You do it!"
It devolved into an argument from there with Kagami trying to push his way through his upperclassmen to get to the gymnasium exit. Meanwhile, Hyuuga tried to keep him inside, warning that there would be punishment if the first year didn't finish with his cleanup. While that commotion happened, the remaining boys in front of the supply closet tried to rationalize what was happening.
"It's probably just a rat or something," Furihata tried to reason. With a strained smile, he knelt next to Nigou and held out his hands. "Come on boy, let's go look for Kuroko so we can all go home, yeah?"
Crash!
The lightning that had struck overhead was loud and nearby, blinding them with the sudden flash. The lights above flickered once. Twice. Three times before settling on off, casting the entire gymnasium in darkness. Everyone felt their hearts stop for a second while their eyes worked double time to adjust to the sudden inky black. It was silent.
Until it wasn't.
"Nigou..." A ghastly voice called out from inside the supply closet, the syllables dragging like they were slurred. The dog whined before yipping once.
A sudden flicker of light from within the supply closet caught the entire team's attention. The only light source was easy to spot, but what was even easier to notice was the pale figure standing over the illumination. The boys screamed.
And then Furihata got a better look. "K-Kuroko?! What are you doing?!"
"Putting away the supplies," the blue haired shadow replied, tone flat as he held up the mop he'd been using earlier with one hand and his cellphone with the other. He set it against a shelf before stepping out of the small space, using the flashlight on his phone to guide the way. Nigou immediately hopped up into his arms, comforted by his presence.
Fukuda let out a heavy sigh. "See guys, it was just Kuroko that Nigou was staring at," he muttered, though the slight quiver in his voice betrayed the fear he'd actually felt.
As Kuroko left the supply closet, Fukuda went back to pushing the cart inside. Behind him, Kawahara picked up the broom Kagami had abandoned and set it next to the mop. Despite convincing himself that they'd all imagined the spooky aura radiating from the supply closet, Kawahara still felt an uncomfortable tingle against his neck as he turned to leave.
"Nice timing waiting for the power to cut to scare us," Kawahara commented as he fell into step beside Kuroko. "That totally didn't sound like you at first when you called out for Nigou. How'd you do that?"
Kuroko furrowed his brows, fixing Kawahara with a concerned stare. "I didn't call for Nigou..."

BETTER | Kagami x gn reader !!
yeah this is just really fluffy…I love him so much <33 no content warnings, exchanges of I love yous tho. enjoy y’all 🤭-🛼ro
You listened intently to the sound of rain pattering against the window mixed with the shallow breaths of your boyfriend, Kagami. You worked his shoulders skillfully, releasing the tension and knots in his muscles. You had done this for him many times. He didn’t take as good of care of himself as he should and until you came along, he’d never even had a massage. It's a miracle he hadn’t turned to stone with how stiff his shoulders were.
“That any better?” you asked, pulling your hands away from his shoulders to instead crack your fingers. He nodded, “much better, thank you” he sounded tired. “ ‘m glad” you said, standing up from the side of his bed, in favour of moving to the head of the bed, propping yourself up against the pillows. You opened your arms, holding them out asking silently for him to lay with you. And he did. Kagami laid his head against your chest, wrapping his arms around your waist. He slipped his hands under the back of your shirt, and wrapped your legs together, finding comfort in the skin to skin contact.
The two of you stayed like that for a while, slow deep breaths, enjoying the sound of rain and each other's breathing. Kagami listened to the beating of your heart, finding himself focusing on its calming, consistent pattern.
Kagami and yourself alike, treasured days like these. When it was just the two of you, relaxing and finding comfort in one another's presence. It was hard to hang out during the school week, you only had a few classes with each other, and Kagami had practice nearly everyday of the week. The only proper time you had together was on the weekends. That's when Kagami could slow down, relax and recharge. Though he still often practiced on the weekends. He never gave himself a break.
That's where you come in. You saw how much he overworks himself, and you make Kagami take breaks to rest. If you didn’t, he’d never rest.
You look down at him, smiling at how content he looks. His eyes closed, face tucked safely into your chest. Even though he overworks himself so much, you can’t help but love his dedication and passion for basketball. He was so determined to win, so dedicated to getting better. You admired him for it, working so hard.
Suddenly, Kagami opened his eyes and looked up at you. You bit your lip, embarrassed that he caught you staring. But as you looked into his eyes, and your embarrassment dissipated. Now, you could only feel the warmth and extreme fondness that Kagami's eyes held for you. You could only smile, not feeling the need to hide from or be embarrassed under his gaze.
Kagami propped his chin up on your chest, looking into your eyes. Eyes that held no judgement against him, eyes that have seen him in his most vulnerable states. Eyes that looked at him with such love and care sometimes it felt like too much to handle.
You watched him chew his lip a little, he was nervous about something, but what? Before your mind could conjure up any pesky anxious thoughts, he spoke. “Y/N...I know you know this but I feel like I don’t say it enough, so I just wanna let you know with my own voice, that I really, really appreciate how much you do for me. You give me massages, and make me meals, you bring me food during school, you make me take breaks and care for me when I'm sick. I know I'm not super great with emotions or anything, but I really want you to know that I'm so thankful to have you in my life, especially as my partner. I couldn’t ask for anyone better, so know that I really, really love you a lot and in the years I've known you, you’ve made me so happy. Thank you.”
You just stared, tears pricking your eyes. You never expected him to just...say that. He struggles with expressing how he feels, so something so forward and raw must have taken a lot of time for him to be ready to do. You felt a tear slip, so proud of him for being able to say that, and so happy and touched by what he said.
“I-I didn’t mean to make you cry i’m sorry really I-” you flicked his forehead, effectively cutting him off. You sniffled and wiped your eyes. “I’m not sad, just...I really love you too. I do those things because I love you, you deserve them...I’m just a little shocked is all, I think I’m still processing it” you laughed with a close eyed smile. The smile Kagami would give anything to see all the time. At the end of the day, neither of you would like to be in anyone else's arms, you're both happy and content, more than content, with being here with each other. You were where you were meant to be.

(KnB) Argument Before The Game (Hurt/Comfort)
Taiga Kagami X Reader, Tetsuya Kuroko X Reader, Shintaro Midorima X Reader, Daiki Aomine X Reader, Atsushi Murasakibara X Reader, Seijuro Akaashi X Reader
Summary: You have a disagreement the day before a game but seeing that you still came to support them gives them the courage to apologise.
Taiga Kagami
You watched as he continued to practise long after the sun had gone down, even Kuroko had decided to go home at this point, he hadn’t eaten yet and he still had to get home “Hey Kags you ready to head home?” You asked.
“Not yet.” He answered as he's lined up another shot.
“But you know eating and sleeping are also an important part of training.” You reminded him.
“Don’t tell me how to train you don’t even play.” He snapped as he turned away from you, you didn’t say anything instead you picked up your bag and walked home without him.
The next day Kagami seemed more nervous than normal but Kuroko was the only one who noticed “what is wrong with you?” Kuroko asked.
“Huh?” Kagami grunted out the noise as he looked at the floor, Kuroko knew that there was definitely something wrong when he didn’t freak out about his sudden appearance.
“What is wrong with you?” He repeated the question and Kagami looked at him before sighing.
“I messed up yesterday, I snapped at (Y/N) I didn’t apologise, it just feels different knowing that she’s not going to be here,” Kagami admitted and Kuroko frowned.
“But she’s right there,” Kuroko informed him as he pointed to the stands, when Kagami looked up he saw that you were there but instead of looking over at him, you were scrolling through your phone with your friend sitting next to you, he could see that you were nodding along to something that she was saying and he looked over at the clock on the wall. “I’ll be back!” He vaguely heard the coach say something in protest but he didn’t care instead he wanted to get to you as quickly as possible, there was still time to fix this before the start of the game.
You heard the thundering footsteps come to a stop in front of you but you didn’t look up “What are you doing? The game is about the start.” You said as you continued to scroll.
“I haven’t had my good luck kiss yet.” He mumbled, he couldn’t see it due to the fact that he was too tall but there was a smile on your face now, you weren’t even sure that you were still angry.
“What do I know about good luck I don’t even play the game.” You grumbled back your petty response which enabled you to let go of the last of your anger.
“Baby I’m sorry, you know I didn’t mean that.” He apologised, he dropped to his knees resting his head against your lap as he clasped your wrists in his hands, teeth clenched as he hoped that this was enough. He felt you lift your hand out of his grip and then rest it on his head.
“You better win after talking to me like that.” You ordered and his eyes widened before he looked up at you, you pressed a kiss to his forehead “good luck.” 
“Wait for me after the game.” He ordered.
“Only if you win.” You smiled as you ushered him back to the court to play the game.
Tumblr media
Tetsuya Kuroko
Momoi clung to Tetsu like he was a lifeline and while your logical mind knew that they were just friends, your jealous one pointed out that she had a crush on him and knew him for way longer. Momoi was better suited to be his girlfriend and that made you curl in on yourself as you watched them practise. You didn’t talk about it until way later in the evening when everyone was heading home and you were finally alone “something’s wrong.” Tetsu said.
“What nothing is wrong.” You said softly as you continued walking.
“There is.” He pushed further and you looked at him, you had to tell him if there was any hope of sorting out the problem that you had.
“I… Just… Well, Momoi-” 
“She’s just a friend.” Tetsu cut you off but that didn’t reassure you any.
“Fine but does she have to hang all over you like that?” You asked.
“What are you talking about?” He asked.
“She clings to you like some kind of lifeline, it just makes me a little uncomfortable.” You answered honestly and he blinked before he smiled.
“She’s just a friend, you’re being silly.” He said again, you were thankful for the fact that you were close to your house, you nodded as you hugged your bag closer to yourself and at the first chance escaped from the situation completely.
The next morning everyone was loading onto the bus, and everyone was ready to go “Hey Kuroko where’s (Y/N)?” Aida asked.
“She’s running late, she said she’d meet us at the stadium coach!” Kagami called out before Kuroko could answer, everyone, seemed to know that there was something wrong but no one spoke up until they were on the road.
“Everything okay Kuroko?” Aida asked.
“Yeah…” He answered a bit confused as to why she was asking him that.
“Everything okay with you and (Y/N)?” She asked and he frowned.
“Yeah.” He answered.
“Hm,” Kagami grunted next to him and he looked over and frowned.
“She was fine when I dropped her off yesterday,” Kuroko said.
“No she wasn’t.” Kagami finally spoke.
“What are you talking about?” Kuroko asked.
“She talked to you about Momoi right?” Kagami asked.
“I mean if someone was hanging off of my boyfriend like that I would talk to him too” Aida commented.
“Yeah we talked about it, I told her that we were just friends, that she was being silly,” Kuroko answered.
“Idiot!” Both Aida and Kagami said at the same time both landing a hit on the back of his head.
“How would you feel if it was her and Aomine? If I was (Y/N) I wouldn’t even come to the game,” Aida commented, Kuroko frowned and looked at Kagami who shrugged before going back to looking out the window.
Kuroko didn’t see you at the entrance to the stadium and he began to panic, if you weren’t there it would be the first game that he played without you there since you had started dating, he looked around but before long Tetsu 2 jumped out of his bag running off in the direction of a quieter part of the stadium, he heard you before he saw you but he was relieved all the same “hey little guy what are you doing here, how do they all keep managing to lose you?” You asked, he watched as you leaned down to pick him up.
“You’re here.” He sighed and you jumped as you looked up at him.
“I told Kags I would be.” You answered.
“I know but after I explained what happened Coach said that she wouldn’t come to the game if she was you and then you weren’t at the entrance where you were supposed to meet us.” He explained slightly panicked.
“I’m here.” You promised.
“I’m sorry, Coach made me realise that if Aomine was like that with you I’d be upset too.” He said and you looked at him “I won’t let Momoi do that to me anymore.”
“Thank you.” You smiled as he leaned in though you stopped. “Hey, aren’t you going to be late?” 
“They won’t notice.” He dismissed.
“Tetsu! Come on we can catch up with the team if we run.” You smiled as you stood up putting your hand out to him and he took it but before you could start running he pulled you back to plant a small kiss on your lips. “We don’t have time for this!” You giggled as you turned and put Tetsu 2 back in his bag and grabbed his hand again pulling him with you as you tried to get to the court in time for his game.

Shintaro Midorima
You felt bad for Takao that was the reason that you said anything in the first place, you didn’t think that it was fair that Midorima expected so much of him so one day when you were waiting for Takao to meet you both at the front gates of the school after another one of Midorima’s crazy requests you finally said something “do you think that maybe you could go a little easy on Takao?” You asked as you looked at him.
“What are you talking about?” He asked.
“All the things that you ask him to do, you know it's really not fair.” You said.
“How would you know anything about that?” He asked.
“Look all I’m saying is you both have a game to play tomorrow and he’s no good to you if he’s done half a mile of running to find whatever lucky item you asked for that day.” You explained your reasoning and he scoffed.
“No one asked for your opinion (L/N).” He finally said but before you could say anything else Takao appeared.
“Midorima that wasn’t very nice.” He said.
“Don’t worry about it Takao, I’m just gonna go, see you later.” You mumbled before walking away from them both.
Midorima realised how much he valued your presence and opinion in the 24 hours that you had been absent, you hadn’t spoken to him for the rest of the school day and when he text you to ask if you would be at the game you ignored the text, as he stood on the court, he frowned when he couldn’t see you in the crowd, he took to sulking after that but Takao didn’t let that happen for too long “I need to get me a girl like (Y/N) no matter what she’s still here to support you.” Takao said as he nudge Midorima in the ribs.
“What are you blabbering on about?” He asked in a flat tone and he pointed to the stands where you had just settled, Takao gave an excited wave and you waved back before mouthing good luck, though your eyes seemed to lose their light when they landed on Midorima he sighed there wasn’t much that he could do for now he just had to get through the game so that he could talk to you.
The problem was even when he was given the chance to talk to you he chickened out and Takao was left to fix it yet again. “Will you go and talk to her instead of watching her from across the restaurant your being creepy.” He informed him, and Midorima glared at him after processing what he had said.
“She doesn’t want to talk to me.” Midorima dismissed him.
“You realise that this is your fault so you have to fix it,” Takao said shovelling food into his mouth.
“What are you talking about?” Midorima asked again only half listening to what he had said.
“You can’t expect her to approach you after what you said.” Takao said, “look she’s almost finished you have to talk to her now or she’ll leave and it’ll be too late.”
“Aren’t you being a little dramatic?” Midorima asked.
“Aren’t you being a little complacent, you’ll lose her if you leave it like this.” He shrugged, Midorima looked at him for a second, he knew that he was right but he was scared that he was going to lose you anyway, finally he stood and walked over to the table that you were sitting alone at. 
“(Y/N).” He greeted you and you looked at him.
“Midorima.” You muttered leaning your chin against your palm, you glanced up at him to see that he was frowning at the use of he second name. “Doesn’t feel good does it?” 
“I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt you yesterday, I realised that I value you more than I could ever express and what I did was wrong, I know that I may still lose you but-” 
“Lose me?” You asked. “This is a stupid fight, yes you hurt my feelings but I knew what I was getting into when I said yes to the first date. I just want to know that you know it’s wrong and that you’ll try not to do it again.” 
“I promise.” He said as he sat in the booth opposite you taking your hand in his and pressing a soft kiss to your knuckles. “I’ll try.” 
Tumblr media
Daiki Aomine
Momoi had asked you to go and get Aomine since as per usual he was skipping practise again and she figured that you were probably the only person that could get him there, you climbed to the roof where he always was “Dai.” You called out softly when you saw him laying on the roof as he usually was.
“What?” He asked glancing over at you for a second before pulling his arm over his eyes.
“You should probably go to practise.” You informed him as you sat on the edge of the roof by the ladder.
“Why would I do that?” He asked.
“Because I asked nicely.” You answered.
“Yeah, whatever.” He mumbled turning his back on you.
“Dai.” You called again.
“(Y/N) you're being really annoying right now, I’m really not in the mood.” He mumbled, the silence that followed unsettled him and when he turned to talk to you, you were gone, he hadn’t even heard you move, you were just gone. He swallowed as he settled back down but couldn't seem to fall asleep as he had originally intended.
Aomine would usually seek you out before the beginning of the game but he was informed by Momoi that you weren’t there, he looked around trying to catch a glimpse of you, he hoped that you were just running late. The truth of the matter was that you had decided that you were just going to show up late, you still wanted to be there even if he was being an ass, he just wasn’t going to get anything extra from you. You watched as he played like an animal and won over 100 points, his eyes connecting with yours on the last shot, your eyes widened as a smirk took over his face, you waited until the game ended and attempted to use a group of other spectators to hide but before you got far someone grabbed you around the waist pulling you back into them. “Where do you think your going?” Aomine asked as he rested his chin on your shoulder.
“You smell like sweat.” You grumbled trying to pull away from him.
“If I could trust you not to run off the moment I let go of you I’d have showered before I talked to you.” Aomine defended himself as he squeezed tighter “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean what I said yesterday, you were gone before I could apologise I turned around and you were gone.” 
“You expected me to stay? You called me annoying.” You reminded him and he pressed his face against you shoulder.
“I didn’t think…” 
“You didn’t think what?” You asked.
“I just didn’t think, I’m sorry please just give me a chance to fix it please.” He begged.
“Only if you stop wiping you sweat all over me and go shower.” You ordered.
“Alright but you better be here when I come back.” He said as he let go of you.
“No promises.” You mumbled as you walked over to the bench to wait for him.
Tumblr media
Ryota Kise
Kasamatsu called you to try and get Kise to go home, the game was the following day but he wouldn’t leave the gym, he waited for you to show up before he left giving you a simple good luck before jogging off. You walked into the gym catching the ball on the rebound “you know you need to go home at some point.” You smiled as you passed the ball back to him but he only grunted at you before lining up the shot.
“Dammit!” He cursed when he missed again and you caught it again but you held it this time.
“You know you have to rest your leg if you want to play at your best.” You reminded him and he rolled his eyes.
“Give me the ball.” He ordered but you shook your head holding it behind your back. “Look I don’t need you to look after me! I know what I’m doing just leave me alone!” It took him a moment to register the shock on your face but it was a moment to long because you were too far out of his reach the basketball you were holding the only evidence that you were even there in the first place.
The next morning you sat for a long while deciding whether you were going to actually go to the game or not, it hadn’t actually been that long since the argument and you weren’t sure that he would even want you there, in the end you decided that you’d sit a little ways back in the hopes that if he didn’t want you there you wouldn’t bother him. Kise was trying to find you in the crowds but there was no sign of you “I shouldn’t help you but she’s over there you idiot.” Kasamatsu muttered as he gestured towards the back where he could just about see you.
“What is she doing all the way back there?” Kise muttered.
“You told her to leave you alone remember?” Kasamatsu reminded him while hitting him upside the head for the third time since Kise had told him what happened.
“Right.” He sighed. He managed to score the winning point and he looked up directly at you he pointed to you and mouthed the words ‘wait for me’ it took you a little while to work out what he said but waited for him all the same.
“Thank god you waited for me!” Kise basically cried as he squeezed the life out of you.
“You asked me to wait for you.” You reminded him.
“But you had every right to ignore me considering everything that I said.” He answered honestly “I’m really sorry.” 
“It’s okay.” You said softly.
“No it’s not.” He denied “and I promise that it’ll never happen again.” 
“You promise?” You asked.
“I promise.”  He nodded unwrapping his arms to take your hand “now let’s go get something to eat.” 
Tumblr media
Atsushi Murasakibara
Murasakibara was rarely yells or gets frustrated so most of your arguments come from the way that he speaks, this one built up and after a while “do you have to be so mean all the time?” You asked.
“What are you talking about?” He asked lollipop stick hanging out of his mouth as he looked down at you.
“Do you know how hurtful it is when your boyfriend is always saying that you stupid, or clingy or annoying?” You asked.
“(Y/N)-chin you know I didn’t mean it.” He whined as he threw the lollipop stick into the trash and tried to find some other snack that he could eat, he only looked up when he heard you sniffling, he froze before his eyes shifted up to you. “(Y/N)-” 
“Don’t worry about it, I’ve got something to do I’ll see you later.” You said before rushing off.
“You messed up man.” Himuro muttered from his place on the bench where he was scrolling through his phone.
“Not helping.” He growled out before grabbing his bag and heading home to figure out what he was going to do.
You were sitting in your seat waiting for the game to start, you were scrolling through your phone Himuro tapped your shoulder “Think you can do me a favour?” He asked pointing down the bench where your boyfriend had checked out before the game even started.
“What’s wrong with him?” You asked.
“You cried and he couldn’t find you to fix it.” Himuro answered “now he’s so depressed he doesn’t even want to play but we kind of need him.” 
“You’re lucky that an american accent is one of my favourite accents.” You mumbled as you stood up.
“I think I’m just lucky you love him.” He answered as he lead you down the the court.
You crouched in front of your boyfriend his height making it easy to duck under the towel that he had put over his head “You know as cute as it is to see my 6ft boyfriend hunched over with a towel over his head, I think they need you to win.” You whispered softly.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“Someone told me that you were looking for me so you could fix something.” You said softly.
“I’m sorry I never meant any of the things I said, I never even realised that I was hurting you, I never wanted to hurt you.” He confessed and you smiled leaning up to press a kiss to his nose.
“Promise to think about what you say from now on?” You asked.
“Mm.” He hummed.
“Well then win this game a quickly as you can so we can go get something to eat yeah?” You suggested.
“Yeah!” He cheered pressing a kiss to your lips before standing up to get ready for the match.
Tumblr media
Seijuro Akashi
You watched Akashi and the team as they practised, he was making them work pretty hard but given the fact that they’re match against Seirin tomorrow, you waved off the team as they all left ot go home for the day “They aren’t good enough.” He mumbled and you frowned.
“I thought they were doing pretty good.” You frowned.
“Of course you would say that.” He mumbled as he picked up his stuff.
“What do you mean?” You asked.
“You don’t know anything.” He reminded.
“What I know is your trying to make a replica of a team that shouldn’t have been possible to make in the first place!” You argued “you were a generation of miracles, you can’t recreate that!”
“Careful.” He warned and you looked at him and shook your head.
“They aren’t good enough because you comparing them to a miracle but I’m glad that you can’t remake that because you aren’t worthy of it.” You walked away from him not even realising that you had left your bag there.
On the day of the game you still showed up, you watched a cheered for the team where you needed to and he saw you the moment that he looked up but by the end of the game, you were gone and he knew that he wasn’t going to find you in the stadium so he had a shower got changed and headed back to his place to grab your bag before heading to your house to finally talk to you.
You heard knock on your door and assumed that it was your mum “come in!” You called but didn’t look up from the work on your desk.
“You left this yesterday.” Akashi said as he held up your bag, your eyes widened as you reached out for it.
“Thanks.” You mumbled softly as you took your phone out of the bag and put it on charge.
“I wanted to say something, you don’t have to say anything back, you just have to listen.” He said and you nodded. “I’m sorry for everything that I said yesterday, you were right, I wasn’t worthy of a team that good because I was scared of losing everything and then I did lose everything but the only thing that I really wanted to get back was you.” 
“You didn’t lose me, you upset me.” You corrected.
“I hope that I never do that again.” He said as he walked up behind you and pressed a kiss to the top of your head “I’ll do anything to make it up to you my love.” 
“Then help me finish this… I have no idea what I’m doing.” You admitted and he gave a soft chuckle before you both moved to the bed so that you could work through everything together.

Adrien Protection Squad
Tumblr media
I am a big Cat Noir/Adrien fan and no one can change my mind. I have noticed a lack of Marinette/Ladybug Salt across almost all fanfiction platforms. And if I have to make things more even on my own, then I will do it. So, here is my take on a Marinette Salt and Adrien Sugar story. Don't like, don't read.
(Marinette Salt, Alya Salt, Girl Squad Salt, Juleka Sugar.) (Takes place after the episode "Felix.")
Juleka Couffaine was not known for her voice. She was the quietest one in the entire class. And that was saying something considering that Nathaniel was in her class. Nathaniel was the definition of the silent artist type who hardly ever spoke at all. So, if Juleka was somehow quieter than him, that really did say something about her own lack of using her voice.
But, Juleka was able to use her silence as a weapon. She noticed things that others did not. Being silent enabled her to easily hide and notice the things that others would not want to be noticed.
Juleka knew many things about many people. Things that they most definitely did not want anyone to know. Such as how Sabrina secretly hated Chloe and wanted nothing more than to be away from her, but knew that her father would get in trouble with the mayor if she did. Or how while Mylene supported Ivan and Kitty Section, she was not a fan at all of rock music.
Juleka thought that she was mostly alone when it came to people that noticed things. Until she became friends with the Flower Princess herself, Vallia Garden. Vallia and her twin brother, Lyon, were visiting Paris for a while because of a program they were doing at their original school which was like an exchange program, but without an actual exchange. The twins came from Greece, bringing along two heroes from their own home country.
The government had asked White Wolf and Beautifly to come to Paris to protect the twins. Their parents were known as the most charitable people in their country. Not to mention the richest. So, the government wanted the twins to be protected. Of course, they did not know that the heroes were also the twins. 
Lyon is known as the Ice Prince. He gives many cold shoulders to many people. There are very few people that he actually is comfortable talking about in a more free way. He only really talks to Adrien, Kim, Nathaniel, Marc, Kagami, and Juleka. Vallia was the friendlier one out of the two of them. She got her nickname as the Flower Princess because of her bright personality on top of her always having flowers in her hair. She liked Juleka because she preferred her quiet nature over the energetic and talkative girls like Alya and Rose.
Juleka liked finally having someone around that noticed things. And both being a part of the Girl Squad, they definitely noticed something about them. Only after the events happened because of Adrien's cousin, Felix, Vallia decided to speak to Juleka directly about what they both had noticed.
Vallia caught up with Juleka after she got back to the Liberty after she got de-akumatized. They both sat in her room on the boat in order to talk.
"Juleka, I think we both know that things might have gone a little too far with the other girls," Vallia tells her.
Juleka nods. "I didn't think that it would get this far, but it has. I can't believe she would do that on a day like this."
"We should have seen something like this coming," Vallia said. "Marinette has always been so weird when it came to Adrien."
"Not just weird," Juleka says. "But obsessed. I don't... I don't actually tell this to many people, but Luka has had a few stalkers in the past."
"Oh my gods," Vallia swore, covering her mouth with her hands.
"It's why he attends online school rather than going to a private school or going to Dupont with me," Juleka explained. "Between his good looks and his musical talent, not to mention people noticing how much he looks like Jagged Stone, a lot of girls have stalked him in the past."
"I'm so sorry," Vallia felt so bad for them since Luka really was such a sweet guy.
"Luka has managed to deal with it and the stalkers all eventually were given restraining orders to keep them away from him," Juleka said. "But, having experience with stalkers really does give me perspective on the whole 'Adrinette' situation."
"It's just too creepy what Marinette is doing," Vallia says. "I have had this bad feeling ever since 'Operation Secret Garden' started."
"The schedule, right," Juleka already knew what Vallia was thinking when it came to what the Girl Squad had been shown that day.
"I highly doubt that Adrien told her his entire schedule," Vallia says. "Especially his schedule for three years into the future. She either followed him around, got it online, or used both. No matter how it is put, it is really creepy. I have no idea how Rose finds it romantic."
"I don't know, either," Juleka sighed. 
"And do not get me started on all those presents that she has for him," Vallia got up and started pacing back and forth in Juleka's room. "She has gifts to give him up to when he is turning fifty. What in the name of Hades would make anyone think that is a sane thing to do?"
"It's also one thing to imagine a future to have with someone, but Marinette really does make it very creepy," Juleka added. "She not only has named all their kids, but also planned out how many they will have, what they will look like,  and even what their interests would be. She also specifically says that they would have a hamster as well. As much as any girl fantasizes about what their life would be like with the person they feel that they are in love with, Marinette's fantasy is really just adding to her creepy obsession."
"Plus, if she ever actually did end up with Adrien and had kids, I fear what she would do and how she would act if they were not what she imagined," Vallia says. "She actually plans for them all to be blond while having her blue eyes. The odds of all their kids being blond with blue eyes are extremely low. If any of her kids ended up the opposite, as in having her dark hair with Adrien's green eyes, she might outright reject them for not meeting the fantasy that she created in her head."
"Chloe might cling to him a lot and proclaim her love for him constantly, but not even she ever went as far as Marinette does," Juleka said. "I never thought that I would say anything good about Chloe."
"Well, you have to admit that even with her still trying to get back the bee miraculous, she has been doing better, lately," Vallia admitted.
"I'm just remembering all the times that both Chloe and Adrien have said how they are each other's childhood friends," Juleka said. "Out of everyone, Chloe would be the one that would probably sympathize with Adrien the most since she would have also known his mother."
Vallia nodded. "Not even Chloe would do something as selfish and cruel as Marinette did. Today is the anniversary of when Adrien's mother disappeared. We all wanted to send Adrien sweet messages to let him know that we care about him and that we were here for him on a day like this."
"And yet Marinette used it to send him a love confession," Juleka clenched her hands into fists really tightly.
"YES," Vallia started pacing again, really pissed off. "Adrien must have been feeling more depressed and sad than he ever has other than the day this mom actually went missing. What he needed were support and friends. And what does Marinette do? Take advantage of his vulnerability to try and confess her so-called love to him. What type of person does that to someone when they are vulnerable like that?"
"What do you think we should do," Juleka asked the Flower Princess, who was definitely not looking very much like her nickname at that moment.
"I think... I think we need to tell Adrien everything we know," Vallia stated.
"WHAT," Juleka yelled, probably rocking the entire houseboat when she did. "Are you serious? This could destroy Adrien. He sees Marinette as one of his best friends. If he finds out what she's done, this could destroy him and his ability to trust others."
"You are correct about that, Juleka," Vallia sighed. "But, it's better than leaving him in the dark. If he doesn't know, then he will continue to hang out with Marinette. He will continue to sit in front of her in class. And most importantly, he will be unable to avoid Alya's attempts to get him and Marinette together since he would have no clue that they would even be attempts to do that."
"It would fuel more into Marinette's obsession with him," Juleka knew that Vallia did have a point. "But, would Adrien be able to properly recover from something he would probably see as the ultimate betrayal?"
"If he has real friends with him, he could," Vallia says. "Friends that he would know in his heart would never treat him like that. It will be hard for him, but it will be better once he has an actual support system."
"Should we tell any of the others," Juleka asked her. "None of the other girls would ever get on board with this, but what about the guys? Or those outside our class?"
"I tell Lyon everything and he is a good friend to Adrien," Vallia knew she could trust her twin. "So, he would definitely be my first choice to help us protect Adrien."
"I have noticed that he does not like Marinette or Alya very much," Juleka showed how observant she was again. "And since you two are also rich, Adrien would know that neither of you would even dream of trying to use him for your own gain."
Vallia nodded again. "What about the other boys, though? I know that Nino pretty much follows Alya's lead when it comes to Adrien and Marinette ending up together."
"I think the guys would actually be on Adrien's side," Juleka says. "They did throw that amazing party that ended up attacked by that Party Crasher akuma."
"Hawkmoth really did not even try to come up with an original name that time," Vallia rolled her eyes.
"Tell me about it," Juleka agreed with Vallia.
"Well, we can definitely count on Kim to side with us and Adrien," Vallia said. "He is a lot smarter than people give him credit for."
"It also helps that as your boyfriend, you have probably ranted to him a lot about how much the girls were annoying you and creeping you out," Juleka smirked as she said it.
Vallia blushed. "You're lucky that you're correct and you're too cute for me to slap."
"You love me and you know it," Juleka giggled.
Vallia rolled her eyes again and got back on track.
"Lyon, Kim, and the other guys would certainly be on our side," she said. "While the guys are not as close with each other as the girls are, they are all still friends. And given that Party Crasher party, they obviously also care about Adrien."
"Nathaniel, Marc, Ivan, and Max may not know Adrien as well as Nino, Kim, and Lyon do, but they are still his friends," Juleka said. "Plus, Adrien is also an honorary member of Kitty Section even when he can not play with us because of his contract with Gabriel Fashion, so that does make Ivan loyal to him since he sees Adrien as a bandmate."
"Adrien has also actually been helping Nathaniel and Marc with their comic," Vallia tells her. "It turns out that Adrien loves anime, so when Nathaniel and Marc were having difficulties thinking of how to draw updated costumes for Ladybug and Cat Noir, Adrien helped them get some ideas by using his anime knowledge."
"I am... not actually surprised that Adrien loves anime," Juleka giggled.
"It does actually make sense," Vallia says. "Given that Gabriel is about as neglectful as a father can get, Adrien would probably have been raised more by Disney, cartoons, and anime than he would have been by his own father."
"Does Lyon still have that folder of evidence that he plans to use to get Adrien out of that house when it gets too much for Adrien," Juleka asked her.
"That folder has become a binder because of how much evidence that Lyon has gathered," Vallia stated. "He is waiting for the day when Gabriel pushes Adrien too hard. And given Gabriel hiring Lila when that girl is the least likely person to be a model ever, it won't be long. I mean, have you seen her hair? She looks like she has sausages dangling from her head. And that is not even touching on the fact that burnt orange is one of the WORST colors ever."
Juleka could not stop herself from laughing when Vallia said that. She may be known as the Flower Princess, but she could definitely be savage when she wanted to be. It was probably one of the few things that actually made people realize that Lyon and Vallia were siblings. Both of them could seriously smack talk like nobody's business. Neither of them started fights, but they sure as hell ended them with how great they are at verbally slapping people. Not even Chloe ever tried messing with them.
"So, we will most likely have all the boys on our side other than Nino," Juleka summarized.
Vallia nodded. "Do you think that we should try and get adults on our side as well? I mean, adults would probably be able to do more than a group of normal teens."
Juleka thought for a moment. "I... I'm not sure who we should get on our side in terms of adults. Since there will probably be legal stuff involved with his, my Ma is out. I love her, but everyone knows how much my Ma and Sabrina's dad do not get along."
"That's an understatement," Vallia knew very well how much the pirate mom and the policeman hate each other. "My dad is also out as well since he still speaks very little French. There has to be someone we can go to."
"This is definitely making me realize how much the authority figures in our lives have let us down," Juleka says. "Bustier is a nice teacher, but it is a toxic form of nice since he is always letting the bullies get away with their behavior while telling their victims to forgive the bullies even when the bullies are not sorry at all. And we all know that when it comes to Damocles, he is about as spineless as a person can get. Especially to those with money."
"Though, in a case like this, that can work in our favor," Vallia admitted. "Adrien, Lyon, and I are all rich, so Damocles would bend over backward to help us."
"Well, it would be less of helping us and more just doing what we want," Juleka said.
"Same difference," Vallia stated.
"I honestly think the best we can do is protect Adrien as best we can on our own," Juleka admitted. "Since Gabriel would probably just end up pulling Adrien from school, which is the last thing Adrien would want, we are definitely not getting him involved. Plus, I highly doubt that Bustier would do anything since she is always preaching about 'love' and 'friendship' and everything else that makes her sound like a kindergarten teacher."
"That woman has on the biggest rose-tinted glasses that I have ever seen in my life," Vallia shook her head. "It doesn't really help with the fact that it is a boy that is the victim. Gender equality may have come a long way, but that doesn't stop how guys are often ignored whenever they are the victims of a girl. During any type of rape prevention lesson, people are always talking about girls needing to protect themselves, but they hardly mention boys as anything other than the bad guy in any scenario. Guys can be victims just like girls can. Just like how you just told me how Luka has previously had stalkers."
Juleka nodded sadly. "I have seen firsthand how hard it is for guys to get any type of justice against a female assailant. Luka had to give so much evidence against the girls that no one could deny that he was actually the victim."
"It really is going to be up to us to protect Adrien," Vallia said.
But that was when Juleka's bedroom door opened suddenly, making both of the girls nearly jump out of their skin. Thankfully, it was just Luka. But, from the look on his face, they both guessed that he might have heard what they were talking about. And from how his eyes looked, he seemed to have been crying as well. Juleka knew that Luka had been crushing on Marinette. So, hearing them talk about the type of person she really is must have been like a punch to the heart.
"Luka..." Juleka tried to talk.
"How can I help," was the first thing that came out of his mouth.
Vallia smiled as they gained their first ally to protect Adrien.
*****
To say that the boys were confused would be an understatement. Luka had texted Ivan, saying that he had wanted him to come to the Liberty to look at a new song he wrote. Kim was texted by Vallia, asking him to come to the Liberty with Max so that Luka and Juleka could also play Max's akuma villain game. Nathaniel and Marc were texted by Juleka, asking them to come over since she had an idea for their comic. Lyon had just come with his sister simply because Vallia told him what was going on. She did have to lock up his bow and arrows to keep him from going after Marinette, Alya, and the rest of the Girl Squad.
The boys were all sitting in the living room of the Liberty, which actually was a lot cozier than others would think given how much Anarka really did act like a pirate. Often saying how making a mess was a way of life to her. But even then, the houseboat really was a cozy and fun place to visit. Or live, in the case of the Couffaine family. 
"You guys would not happen to know why we're all here at the same time, would you," Ivan asked the rest of them.
"Unless all of you also wanted to try out my video game, I have a zero percent chance of knowing that is happening," Max said.
"Juleka texted Marc and me, saying that she had an idea for our comic that she thought we would like," Nathaniel says.
"Luka texted me and asked me to check on a song he wrote," Ivan only got more confused.
"Vallia pretty much just dragged me here," Lyon shrugged. "Not until after she locked up my bow and arrows. She gave me a lowdown of what was happening, but I do not have every detail."
"Well, if she didn't let you bring your bow, then it probably has something to do with either Chloe or Lila," Kim chuckled. "They are the only ones other than Hawkmoth that you threaten to shoot with that thing."
"I may not be White Wolf, but I am still perfectly willing to shoot anyone that pushes me too far," Lyon smirked.
He may actually be the wolf miraculous holder, but it helped to say little lies here and there to keep his secret. Vallia also had to do the same thing to keep her identity as Beautifly a secret as well. They did not like lying. But, in some cases, it is just unavoidable where lying is the only thing they can do to keep their loved ones safe.
Vallia, Juleka, and Luka all then walked into the room. Luka took a seat with the rest of the boys as Vallia and his sister stood in front of them all.
"Our apologies for bringing you all here under false pretenses," Vallia started. "But, we needed you all here because we need your help."
"Are you two okay," Kim jumped to his feet, worried for his friend and girlfriend.
"Kim, sweetie, we're fine," Vallia had to gently get him back in his seat. "Juleka and I have talked about it at great length and we... and we need to stop Marinette, Alya, and the other girls."
"Stop them," Marc was confused. "From what?"
"We want to end this entire 'Adrienette' thing," Juleka stated.
"You mean by finally getting them together in order to stop those crazy plans Mylene is always telling me about," Ivan guessed.
"Hades, no," Vallia practically looked insulted at the idea of actually bringing Adrien and Marinette together.
"What we mean is that we feel... No... we KNOW that Marinette is probably the worst person on the planet for Adrien," Juleka had never sounded so blunt in her life.
"Huh," they made all the boys, except Lyon and Luka, get even more confused.
"You all know that when it comes to Adrien, Marinette can be crazy," Vallia said, the boys all nodding at that. "But, Marinette might be literally crazy. Juleka and I have been with the 'Girl Squad' for a while now and both of us have realized that when it comes to Adrien... Marinette is basically a stalker."
The boys all gasped at that. Though, most of them did not look like they believed the girls.
"We know that this may be hard to believe," Vallia started. "Especially since we know that Kim, Max, and Nathaniel have all been with Marinette for years in class. But, this is serious and we are not joking at all. Marinette has gone way too far with her crush. It's not even a real crush anymore. It's an obsession. A really unhealthy obsession."
"What exactly has Marinette done," Lyon asked them. "You did not exactly give me details when you dragged me here, Vallia."
"Marinette has just gone way off the deep end," Vallia says. "She has Adrien's entire schedule written down for the next THREE YEARS! Adrien certainly did not tell her that, because there is no way he would tell anyone his entire schedule for that far into the future. So, Marinette either gathered all the info online or followed him in order to learn it. Either way, it is extremely disturbing."
"Marinette also has gifts for Adrien," Juleka said. "And while that is sweet to think about at first, it is not sweet at all at the lengths she went. These gifts are all labeled, signed, and meant to be given to him for birthdays and Christmas for years to come. Even when he is turning fifty, she has a present for him. It's one thing to want to get someone a present early if they forgot a previous special occasion, but definitely not in the way Marinette does it."
"And while we feel that the girls should have been at least told about the all-boys party you guys wanted to throw for Adrien while his father was away," Vallia started again. "It was still wrong of Marinette to put on a disguise and basically break into Adrien's house that way just to be a part of the party."
"She did what," the boys gasped, having not known Marinette did that.
"Later," Juleka waved her hand to signal that they could talk about that later.
"It's just been made really clear to us that Marinette has gone off the deep end and needs to be kept away from Adrien," Vallia stated. "It's creepy, invasive, obsessive, and there could be a time where she might even end up arrested because of the lengths that she is willing to go to be close to him."
"She... She did only try out for the Mega Strikes tournament because of Adrien," Max remembered. "I will admit that being akumatized into Gamer because I was beaten by a girl was sexist of me, but Marinette had only wanted to be in the tournament because of Adrien."
"She also did try and give Adrien Luka's guitar when Jagged Stone came looking for a new guitarist," Ivan said. "That guitar means everything to Luka and she tried to just give it to Adrien even when she was well aware that Adrien plays piano, not guitar."
"There is also when Kagami's mother was akumatized," Nathaniel says. "Alix told me about how Alya and Marinette had planned for Marinette to sabotage her and Kagami's chances at the Friendship Game just because she was jealous of how close Kagami and Adrien were getting. So, she wanted to stop Kagami from winning the game even when Kagami really was just trying to make friends."
They all could not help but look at Nathaniel in weird ways. They had no idea how he had known Kagami's real reason for joining the game. Especially since they doubted that Alix knew that reason. So, Marc actually spoke up and answered their unasked questions.
"I hang around the fencing team a lot," he explained. "It helps me to write better fight scenes when I actually witness things like that. It's also why I always watch the Ladyblog whenever Alya uploads another akuma fight. So, I actually do know a number of the members of the fencing team, including Kagami. So, I told Nathaniel about it after he learned from Alix what Marinette tried to do."
They all nodded, understanding Marc's reasoning.
"Speaking of Kagami, Vallia and I were also at that movie premiere that Adrien took Kagami to," Lyon said. "We both saw that because of how jealous she got, Marinette actually teamed up with Chloe in order to sabotage Kagami. Kagami might be slightly cold and is also called the 'Ice Queen' by most people, but nobody deserves that kind of treatment."
"Marinette actually teamed up with Chloe," Ivan showed how shocked they all were. 
"That is how jealous she gets," Lyon stated. "Only even getting worse when you remember that Kagami has never actually done anything to Marinette in the few times that interacted. It could have gotten a lot worse if Vallia and I had not been secretly interfering with their plans."
"Kagami is nice when you actually get to know her, as Marc has just proven," Vallia says. "So, she definitely did not deserve to be treated like that out of something as stupid as jealousy."
"I also have not gotten over how Marinette and Alya treated Juleka when Marinette tried to start her own website," Luka crossed his arms. "I know that Marinette apologized, but that still does not excuse everything that happened. I have been trying to get Juleka to come out of her shell for a long time. And yet the one time she does, it once again all becomes part of a plan to get Marinette and Adrien together."
Juleka looked at the others in the room. She had not told her brother the full story of what had happened. Both because she knew about his growing crush on Marinette as well as because he was always very protective of her. She knew that Luka would definitely have been pissed if he had learned about everything that had happened. He was a very gentle soul, but he also could raise hell if he was made angry enough. And upsetting his loved ones was really the only way to make him that angry.
"Alright, which one of you told him about that," she asked the group.
Without any hesitation, Lyon was the one that raised his hand.
"I regret nothing," he stated.
"I should have known," Juleka facepalmed.
"Well, I happen to agree that it was very wrong with how they treated you," Lyon stated. "No offense, but you are still a very naturally shy person. So, actually volunteering to model is a big step for you. That only makes it worse that you were basically forgotten by them the moment that Adrien was brought into the picture."
"That definitely seems to be a thing with Marinette," Vallia stated. "Whenever Adrien is involved, I don't think that she can see or notice anything else."
"And being honest, I doubt Marinette would ever actually have any chance with Adrien," Juleka, of all people, said.
That certainly got their attention. Of all people in the room, they did not think that it would be Juleka out of all of them that would say something like that. As someone that had been in the same class as Juleka for quite a few years, Kim had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"As much as I agree with you, Juleka, what makes you say it," Lyon asked her.
Juleka looked shy at all the attention on her, but she answered anyway.
"Well, it has been almost a full year since we have all met Adrien," Juleka explained. "Even those that were excited, shocked, or nervous about sharing a class with a known teen model, we have all calmed down and seen him as a person. But, Marinette has not changed at all about him. She is still a complete stuttering mess that can not form a single real sentence when talking to him. I don't think that she sees Adrien as anything other than the perfect model that his father makes him be all the time."
"I actually agree with Juleka about that," Nathaniel says. "It turns out that Kagami is really great at drawing. So, Adrien has been taking her to the art club, lately. He is always doing his best to get her to laugh because of how serious Kagami always is. He likes to joke around, make puns, and is generally probably one of the biggest anime fans that I have ever met. He is the complete opposite of the 'perfect model' that Marinette fell in 'love' with."
"If what she does is love, then I am glad most girls are scared away by my Ice Prince persona," Lyon stated.
"It also helps that you are gay," Vallia added.
"That too," Lyon agreed with his twin.
It was definitely shocking just how much this situation was causing. But nothing was more shocking than how it was causing Juleka and Nathaniel, the two most quiet people in their entire class, to be the ones that were being the most vocal about Marinette and her obsession. Though, they guessed that being so quiet meant that they definitely could see things that others did not because no one ever notices quiet ones like them.
"So, what exactly are we going to do," Ivan asked Juleka and Vallia since they were obviously the ones in charge of all of this.
"And why is Nino not here," Kim asked. "Shouldn't he also be here since this clearly involves his best friend?"
"We would have invited him, but he knows about everything that Marinette and Alya have done and yet never did anything about it," Vallia says. "For all that he says that he cares about Adrien and is his best friend, he certainly does not seem to care about how obviously obsessive that Marinette is."
The boys did not look as convinced as they had been when talking about Marinette's faults. But, at the same time, they did not really have any evidence to argue against them.
"As for what we are going to do," Vallia started. "We have talked about it and we feel that Adrien needs to be told everything that has been going on."
That was definitely a shock to the guys. They were all aware of how nice Adrien was, even to the point where he was a little naive, so they did not think he would react very well to hearing about this. They worried about how Adrien would react when he would be told.
"Are you two sure that he should be told," Luka asked them. "I know that I probably know Adrien the least out of everyone here since I am not in your class, but even I know this will definitely hit him really hard."
"It is a risk, but Adrien deserves to know," Vallia stated. "If Adrien doesn't know, he will still hang out with Nino, Alya, and Marinette. And that would usually end up with him landing right in the middle of probably even more 'Adrinette' plans that the Girl Squad will set up."
"As much as this will probably hurt Adrien, it is better he learns this now rather than later," Lyon agreed with his sister. "And as long as we let Adrien know that we are his real friends, that will definitely help him heal from the damage that learning about all of this will cause him."
The group all nodded, knowing that it was the truth. They just hoped that Adrien would not be akumatized over it. Because they were sure that if he was, then he would probably become the strongest akuma that Hawkmoth would have ever created.
*****
It turned out worse than an akuma. Adrien was a complete and utter wreck who seemed to have shut down everything other than his tears.
He was currently sandwiched between Luka and Lyon as the two boys were doing their best to comfort him. While it was Juleka and Vallia that had told him, their brothers had come along to be able to be there for the blond since they knew he would react like this. And Adrien definitely needed it.
Almost as soon as Vallia and Juleka were done, Adrien looked on the verge of either passing out or breaking down. Through a very shaky tone, he asked if they had proof of what they were saying. Neither of the girls was offended since they understood that Adrien really would want proof of someone he considered a great friend acting like that before he made any real decisions.
It was a good thing that Vallia had taken photos of everything in order to have proof. She showed Adrien everything she had. Marinette's wall of pictures of him, of the entire schedule she had for him, all of the presents, and there was also a video that she took when Marinette had been on one of her rants about their "future" together. Adrien had lasted about two seconds after seeing all of it before completely breaking down.
Lyon and Luka both comforted Adrien as best they could, understanding that someone like Adrien probably just had his heart completely broken. This was probably the first time that he ever really felt a sting of betrayal like this. Not even just from Marinette, but also from Alya, Nino, and the other girls in their class as well. 
"I don't... I can't... Why did... How could..." Adrien could not form a single sentence as he sobbed.
"We knew that we had to tell you the moment that we knew Marinette had gone too far," Vallia tells him. "We couldn't let this continue."
"We are so sorry about this, Adrien," Juleka says. "You do not deserve to be treated like this by those you call friends. You are a person, not some type of prize to be won."
"I just... I have always talked about how much I hate fangirls and fanatics in general," Adrien managed to actually talk. "There have been times where girls have often tried sneaking onto photoshoots or breaking into my dressing room. Some have even tried stalking me to the point of attempting to break into the mansion. They terrify me. How could they do this to me?"
"We can try and sugar coat it for you, but that would not be helpful at all," Lyon said. "The only answer that we can give in general would be that Marinette has always had this obsession with you. And with you ending up in the same class as her, it only ended up with the obsession growing."
"You have made it clear that you want a normal life," Luka says. "I have heard from both you and your real friends how much you hate modeling. Your song is also very telling about how much you crave and hope for a normal life."
"I've just grown so tired of it all," Adrien looked and sounded so exhausted of his life. "I'm tired of running from crowds of fans, tired of having to be perfect all the time just to please my father, tired of having to look over my shoulder to see if anyone is following me, tired of never being able to hang out with my friends like a normal teen. I would give anything to be normal."
"We know that, and you have told them that, but the real problem was that they just refused to listen," Vallia said.
"You deserve better than that," Lyon tells him. "Vallia and I know more than others how hard it is to always be in the spotlight. People want to get close to us just so they might get either one of the gems in our family vault, an exotic animal from the sanctuary as a pet, or a rare plant. It's the hardest thing to really find those that want to be around us for no reason at all."
"We wanted you to know that we would be here for you," Luka says.
"I don't... know what to do," Adrien admitted. "While I have had stalkers in the past, this is the first time that it is someone I actually know."
"You do not have to do anything," Juleka places a hand on his shoulder. "We are going to be here to keep them away from you."
"I guess you can call us the Adrien Protection Squad," Vallia giggled.
"Did Lyon already threaten to shoot them with arrows," Adrien managed a small chuckle.
"I wanted to, but Vallia wouldn't let me bring my bow and arrows when she and Juleka told us about everything that was going on," Lyon admitted. "They are lucky that I am not White Wolf. Otherwise, we would be looking at some new ice statues in town."
Vallia had to convince her brother not to use his hero identity to seek revenge. Lyon had been very tempted to. If there is one thing that a wolf does, it's protect its pack. Over time, most miraculous users do tend to get more like the animal that their miraculous is themed after. It is one of the reasons why Vallia is always so good with plants given her butterfly qualities. So, Lyon was getting more like a wolf every day. Those like Ladybug, Cat Noir, Hawkmoth, and Mayura have not used their miraculous long enough for the same side effects to happen to them.
"You can be scary sometimes," Luka says. "I hope that you know that."
"Says the guy that can hear the heart songs of everyone he comes across," Lyon countered. "I've met empaths before and they are no joke."
"I think that it is really clear that we are the normal ones in our families," Vallia tells Juleka, who giggled in response.
"My mom thinks that she is a pirate on top of my brother being an empath," Juleka says. "I've always known that I am the normal one."
Adrien was able to smile at how they were all interacting with each other. Them being so normal was helping him adjust to what he had just learned about his other supposed friends. They were not treating him as if he was made of glass nor were they treating him with pity. Yes, they were worried about him and wanted him safe, but they did not do it in a way that made him feel as if he could not take care of himself.
"School is tomorrow," Adrien suddenly says. "I don't... I don't think that I can normal around any of them."
"You don't need to be," Vallia said. "You just try and go about your day as normally as possible while the rest of us run interference. But at the same time, you do not have to hide how you feel about them. You are your own person and they do not have the right to try and force you to be with Marinette just because she is obsessed with you and yet they only see it as a simple crush."
"You have no need to worry as long as the rest of us are around," Lyon tells him.
"Thanks, guys," Adrien smiled at them.
*****
The next day at school, it was definitely obvious to a lot of people outside of Bustier's class that something had changed for the nicknamed "Akuma Class." They saw that except for Nino, every other guy in the class almost seemed to form a barrier around Adrien as soon as the teen model arrived. 
After having been given permission from Adrien to tell others, Marc told his friends Aurore, Ondine, Jean, and Mirelle from his class about what was going on. They all agreed to help keep Adrien away from Marinette and the other members of the "Girl Squad" during things like lunch, recess, and other general things where all classes were together instead of separated.
Even in the actual classroom, things had definitely changed. While being supported by Vallia and Lyon, Adrien went to Bustier and requested to change where he was seated. When he told their teacher that he was no longer comfortable where he was sitting, or with who he was sitting close to, she allowed him to change where he was sitting. Adrien chose to sit in the back, next to Lyon.
Adrien moving also had the rest of his "protection squad" moving as well. Vallia, who had been previously next to her brother, moved to be next to Juleka in front of where Lyon and Adrien now were. Max and Kim sat in front of them while they allowed Chloe and Sabrina to stay in their usual seats in the front. Nathanial and Ivan were not sitting next to each other at the desk on the other side of the aisle from where Lyon and Adrien were. They wanted to keep all the girls that remained in the Girl Squad away from Adrien.
It was definitely a shock to the rest of the class when they came in. Chloe looked like she wanted to say something since she was farther away from Adrien than before. But one look from Adrien made her be quiet. Marinette was the one that looked the most upset. If it was not for the fact that she had made it to class with barely a minute to spare, she could not come up to Adrien to ask why he and the other guys had moved.
Rose also looked upset because Juleka had nothing to say about Vallia taking her place next to the goth. Lyon's icy glare also did not go missed by them at all. And since he got back his bow and arrows from where his sister had hidden them, he was a lot more dangerous.
When their class had ended, Marinette had almost made a complete beeline for Adrien. But the guys had rushed Adrien out so quickly that he had basically been a blur. Lyon, Vallia, and Juleka all stayed behind so that they could confront the other girls over what was now going to be happening from now on.
They kept the girls in the classroom, only allowing Chloe and Sabrina to leave since they were not involved in the girl squad drama.
"We have something to say to you all," Vallia said.
The girls were definitely shocked. Especially since for the first time since they had known her, Juleka was standing tall and proud. There was barely a hint of her usual shyness.
"What are you talking about," Alya was the one to ask them.
"We are talking about how you all have gotten way too far when it comes to Marinette's obsession with Adrien," Vallia answered.
"I am not obsessed," Marinette looked like she wanted to yell at them, but did not. "I'm in love with him. There is nothing wrong with love."
"If what you have been doing is love, then I want no part in that," Juleka stated.
"Juleka, why would you say such a thing," Rose looked hurt and shocked. "Marinette and Adrien will be so beautiful together."
"That fantasy is going to stay a fantasy," Lyon crossed his arms. "I have met my fair share of stalkers in the past, but you all take the cake. Especially you, Marinette."
"Stalker! How dare you call my bestie a stalker," Alya looked ready to punch Lyon.
"He's calling it as he sees it," Vallia said. "Besides, there is no better way to describe Marinette. The wall of pictures, the screensaver on her computer and her phone, the box of presents, the schedule. She is a stalker and you are all doing nothing but enabling that toxic behavior."
"I am not a stalker," Marinette protested. "I did all of that because I love him. He is just so perfect in every..."
"He doesn't want to be perfect," Juleka interrupted her. "Adrien has said time and time again that he hates everything his father makes him do, especially making him act perfect all the time just because it is 'good for the brand.' He would do anything to just be normal."
"It's awful that you have the gall to claim that you love him when you do not even seem to care about what he wants," Vallia says. "Everything that you have done that you say is because you love him is all the same stuff that a stalker would say. They all claim to be in love with their targets with most of them even delusional about being in a relationship with them. Just like your made-up fantasy future with him."
"You're crazy," Lyon was blunt, to say the least. "If I had been Adrien, I would have moved the other side of the planet to get away from people like you."
Marinette had the gall to look like she was gonna cry at the things they were saying. Alya comforted her while glaring at the three of them.
"I can not believe that you three are acting like this," she was definitely pissed. "After everything we did to get Marinette and Adrien together."
"Have you ever once tried to ask about what Adrien might want," Juleka also crossed her arms. "Did it ever cross your minds that Adrien has a say in this as well? He might not even be interested in her that way. And considering how often he calls her 'just a friend,' then I say that he has already made his feelings really clear."
"Just because he is a guy does not mean he has to automatically be into Marinette simply because she is a girl that likes him," Lyon stated. "He is allowed to like her that way or not. And I highly doubt that he is going to want to have anything to do with her from now on."
"What did you do," Marinette shouted at them.
"We told Adrien everything," Vallia said.
"WHAT," the rest of the Girl Squad yelled.
"Why would you do such a thing," Mylene looked so shocked and scared.
"For someone that thinks that Marinette and Adrien are made for each other, you sure look scared about him learning about your actions," Lyon said. 
"What you had done was not okay in any way, shape, or form," Vallia continued. "Everything that you have done is nothing other than showing that we are right about you being a stalker that is obsessed with Adrien. So, yes, we told him everything."
"And just as we knew what would happen, he was horrified, betrayed, and probably the most upset that we have ever seen him," Juleka says. "His heart was broken when he found out what you all had done. Especially Marinette. He thought she was a really good friend, but he now has seen her true colors."
"What you did was not cool," Alix glared at them.
"What was not cool was everything you guys and Marinette have done," Lyon said. "Not even just all the matchmaking plans, the schedule, and the presents, but everything else as well. Marinette, you teamed up with CHLOE because you were jealous of Kagami. Kagami never did anything to you and yet you tried to sabotage her because Adrien likes her."
"She is not the right girl for him," Marinette tried to protest.
"That is not for you to decide," Lyon yelled at her. "Adrien is his own person with his own desires. If he wants to like Kagami, then he has every right to. Especially if she likes him back. Real love is a two-way street."
"And what you did during the anniversary of his mother's disappearance was awful," Vallia said. "That was the day he needed our love and support the most. But you then made it all about you by taking advantage of his vulnerability in order to send a confession message to him. As much as we hate his other actions, Felix deleting those videos was the best thing he probably ever did in his life. Adrien did not deserve to have your selfish actions make that day even worse for him."
"I can't believe you three turned your back on us like this," Alya looked like she really wanted to punch them.
"I love him," Marinette was still showing her delusional state of mind. "I haven't done anything wrong."
"The sad part about that is how you actually believe all of that," Juleka said.
"Adrien knows everything," Lyon reminds them. "You are just lucky he doesn't want to bring up charges, which he is legally allowed to do because of your actions. Hopefully Adrien will actually be able to heal from this with the rest of us helping him."
"Time to wake up and smell the roses of reality," Vallia tells the girls. "Your ship had not only sank but it was sucked into a whirlpool never to see the light of day again."
The three of them then left the classroom, leaving the girls to try to plan more things to get Adrien and Marinette together. All plans that will be doomed to fail.
Not, the three only had one thing left to worry about. 
And that would be trying to figure out how to stop Kagami from killing the entire Girl Squad when she learns what they did.
