10, 11, 12 for both bo and ophelia? From the oc question post ofc! :3
i think ur talking abt the one from the plottery cuz i have reblogged a LOT of oc asks
im gonna take it as the one from the plottery
OK HERE U GO!!
Bo (hes my favorite dont tell ophelia)
10. What do they believe will make them happy?
A goal, a purpose, death? Bo's kind of a depressing guy when we start talking about happiness, honestly. I mean, hell, at 14 he made the plan to kill himself if nothing interesting was going on at 28. i could go on for a 10 page essay of what could make him happy, but to summarize it's simply; a goal, a purpose, or death. any of those would work, really.
11. Who was their biggest influence growing up?
Amelia!! his cousin!! Oh, and Camilla, but you didn't hear that from me. To see such raw power in one spot? It was rejuvinating! To hear about all of the adventurers and magicians praising their work on the field; who wouldn't want to experience the same thing? That man wished he could be just like them when he grew up! Imagine how well liked he could be if he stayed in the field. (the irony lMFSFA)
12. How did that shape who they are today?
oh dear, oh my. I mean, come on, Amelia has played such a huge role in Bo's life it's crazy. When he looked up to her, it gave him a purpose and a reason to work hard. To achieve what she achieved required effort he was willing to put in. When she died, on the other hand, it completely erased everything he was fighting for. His purpose, his goal, all of it disappeared in front of him. Although, her work that she left behind in monster studies (that he eventually took up) did leave him with another goal to complete. And, without spoiling too much, that research will lead him back into the field's hands.
His eventual resentent towards Camilla gave him a purpose, too. Just to outlive her and see her death would be enough satisfaction for him.
Ophelia!! (she's my favorite, actually. don't tell anyone)
10. What do they believe will make them happy?
Fuckin' hell, a lot of things? A person to love her, basic human interaction, her parents back, a higher position within her guild, it doesn't matter. If it's a positive influence on her life, she'll believe it'll make her happy.
11. Who was their biggest influence growing up?
I have never posted or even talked much about this OC, but Gizi, which was Fair Mountain's previous wizard (Fair mountain being the guild Ophelia works at now), was the biggest influence in her life. Them being good friends with both Ophelia's mom and aunt (Marie-anne- Ophelia's mom- and Amelia) made it so Ophelia frequently saw and heard about Gizi. Let's be honest, raw power in your life does something to a person. Whether it be inspire or destroy, it sure as hell can move.
12. How did that shape who they are today?
Very minorly. While, yes, prior to Marie-anne and her husband's death, Ophelia saw Gizi often, that did not matter much post Marie-anne and her husband's death. I mean, come on, coming back to a housefire with both your parents in it while you're barely double digits? That affects a person more than looking up to some wizard for a guild your parents worked at.
Of course, if Ophelia knew the true perpetrator to the housefire, then that wizard would be a lot more impactful to her.
But, she doesn't! So, instead, Gizi's image will continue to inspire her to work harder than she ever has before, even if it's a little corny.
i think i answered all the questions properly. lmk if you have anything for followup, and i'd be sure to clarify

aaaa i got an ask for this but ofc i forgot to acc ansswer the ask with this- UGDHIYUGJD but heeeerre eheheeh
Cw: noncon piercings / very creepy whumper- it's aiden my dudes, expect nothing less XD / possessive whumper / tiny bit of cursing / blood
“Grab him,” Tyler ordered to the other pets. “Come on man, this isn't funny!” Danny growled. “Meh, I think it is to be honest,” Tyler chuckled. “Listen, I'm sorry alright?!? I'm sorry!! Just- just don't do this!”
“Hold him still for me, I wouldn't want to pierce anywhere else. Now, Danny, are you gonna be good or do I need to gag you?”
“Neither! Fuck off!”
“Gag it is.”
Tyler placed a rough belt into Danny’s mouth and buckled it behind his head. “Now, this will only be a pinch, so don't you worry your little head about it!” Danny fought. He really did. He cursed into the belt and struggled against the others but he was too weak. He had barely any muscles whereas the others were properly built.
Tyler stepped closer and closer, examining the sewing needle in his hand, “Hmmm, sewing needle or safety pin… I guess the safety pin could be an earring itself!”
He put the sewing needle down and picked up a medium-sized safety pin, “Like I said, only a pinch.” He cradled Danny’s face with one hand and used his wrist to trap Danny’s face. “Now, this will only hurt worse for you if you move buddy!”
That made Danny still immediately. He whined through the belt and Tyler slowly pushed the safety pin through the lobe of Danny’s ear.
Danny let out an agonizing yell, it felt as if his ears were on fire. Tyler chuckled, “Oh I forgot to tell you, I put some salt in the safety pin, hope you don't mind!” That made Tyler scream even louder. Tyler closed the paperclip and smiled as he studied Danny, “Cute.”
Aiden suddenly burst through the door, “What the fuck-” He took in the sight in front of him. Rex and Sam holding Danny down on the ground while Tyler was still pawing at the paper clip which was now attached inside Asher’s ear. Then he had a look at Danny’s ear which was now dripping blood and the blood was slightly smudged on his face. Aiden found himself smiling, “Oh, my, Danny, don't you just look ravishing?!” Danny mumbled something into the belt but it was muffled.
“Tyler, what a great idea! I mean, I want to be angry at you because you didn't ask me first but… I mean look at him! Tyler, bring Danny into the bathroom with me. Come on! Chop chop!”
Tyler dragged Danny -who was slightly nauseous from the loss of blood- into the bathroom.
Aiden fished in drawers, trashing in the cabinets and then suddenly stopped, “Aha! Got it. Tyler, hold Danny still for me, will ya?” Tyler did so, capturing Danny’s hands too after handing the sewing needle over to Aiden, who took it gratefully.
He roughly grabbed and held onto Danny’s ear and in a matter of seconds, he slowly slid the needle through the top cartilage of Danny’s ear. He quickly slid in a hoop as he extracted the needle from his ear.
Tears streamed down Danny’s face as he sobbed into the belt. “Thank you Tyler, you may leave-” He quickly did so, nodding at Aiden and snickering at Danny once his back was to Aiden. The door closed. “-Oh baby,” Aiden cooed as his hands carded through Danny’s hair, sliding them to the back of his head and slowly unbuckled the belt.
“Shhhhh, it's okay,” Aiden whispered, bringing his hands now over Danny’s face and running his thumb over Danny’s cheekbone. He softly brought Danny in front of the mirror Danny gasped at all the blood. “Don't you just look gorgeous, my petal!? You're my gorgeous petal. All mine.”

lockdown | (m) - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
moodboard by @flajka
pairing; jungkook/female OC genre; college au, strangers to lovers, smut and tiny bit of fluff too, humor ofc rating; explicit words; 6.209
— synopsis; Eunhee is in trouble and facing a deadline - in comes curly haired jungkook to save her life, make her laugh and maybe, just maybe, fuck her brains out. When the two end up locked in a building overnight, who knows what will happen? 
warnings (for this chapter): cursing, OC still really wants to murder Tae, banter, cute Kook, slightly cocky Kook, an abundance of sexual tension, mentions of sex, drinking, mentiones of an ex (Seokjin)
A/N: I didn’t think I’d finish this this fast. Next chapter will be more challenging but i’m ready for it - i’m not sure if you are. Next chapter will be pure smut. 
CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 2
“So, this folder is basically… Your paparazzi photos?”
I have tried to rationalize it and sure, the guy does have a reason behind it but at the end of the day, he’s just a guy with a camera, taking photos of people who are not aware of it, more often than not.
He shakes his head at my words and chuckles. “You are making it sound a lot creepier than it actually is. I am the official photographer. Whenever a student enrolls our college they need to sign a bunch of papers. It has a clause about campus promotional photos or something like that, which makes this very much legal,” he explains.
“True, very true. Doesn’t make it any less creepy through,” I joke, mentally high-fiving myself when he actually laughs this time around. I needed this comfort prize after my miserable attempt from earlier.
“You know, boss lady, these are the only photos you have,” the stupid hood is covering his face too much for me to see his expression but he sounds… cocky. “I wouldn’t complain about them too much if I were you,” he adds.
“I’m not complaining,” I lift my hands up in surrender. “I’m just saying it like it is. Paparazzi.”
“Art.”
“Whatever floats your boat,” I say, laughing in relief when I realized he did not take me seriously. I was walking a dangerous line between joking with him and genuinely making fun of his profession, which is not something I want to do. The same way I wouldn’t enjoy being called a tabloid internet researcher instead of a journalist-to-be, I doubt he would enjoy being called a paparazzi. I did it in good humor and despite the earlier awkwardness, he was going along with it now.
“On a more serious note, I’m not sure how many of these can be usable,” he points at the monitor. “I hope you will have enough. You can just go through them and select the ones you deem usable.”
“That was supposed to be your job!”
“I’m still here, aren’t I?”
Bless him for turning around. If only for a few seconds, I have a chance to actually see him properly. He is very good looking, that was obvious from the get-go. His facial features are either childlike or very manly. His jaw is as sharp as one of the knives I bought recently and yet his nose looks beyond boop-able. Jeongguk, with a hood covering his face and all, is a ridiculously good looking man.
He’s looking directly at me too and it feels like this is the first time tonight he had done so. It doesn’t last long enough for me to actually feel uncomfortable or alert but my heart went berserk once again.
Calm down, woman. He’s here and he’s hot and it’s not the end of the world.
“Let’s do this then,” I nod towards the monitor.
Jeongguk could not specify how many photos he has to offer but the folder told me it carries 3000 photos. Of course, some of them are far from perfect but with 3000 photos at our disposal, I can only hope we can select 100 or so decent ones, to go with the 24 he brought to me earlier.
Without much commotion, Jeongguk and I start working. He starts his laptop as I transfer all the photos to Hobi’s PC. Then, he transfers them as well and one by one, we go over them. As soon as I find one that I think can be usable, I read out the number, he finds it and goes down to editing. Soon enough, he is unable to keep up with me and I need to write down the numbers as he manipulates the photos to perfection. We work in silence and in about half an hour, we have 10 photos ready to go.
Knowing that my ass is most likely saved, I have a chance to relax and actually pay attention to his work. He truly does have an eye for it, that much is painfully obvious. Guilt takes over me as I realize I have never paid much attention to photography. It’s simply not something I would focus on unless it is closely related to my work. I’ve always known Taehyung and Jeongguk, or as he was known before this, G.C.F guy, were good but this truly is something else.
He has a talent to capture people in that moment, that one moment, when no masks are worn and no fake smiles are shared. Looking at photos of random students, some of whom are vaguely familiar, some of whom are my friends and others I am sure I’ve never even seen before… It’s almost scary how he can capture that one moment with such precision. I could never do that, I just know it.
“What?” Jeongguk’s voice startles me. I look at him in confusion and he points at the photo. “You have been staring at it for like a whole minute. What’s wrong with it?” he asks.
“Nothing,” I shake my head. “It’s perfect. I mean, look at her – she looks tired but genuine. The smile she has is genuine. No matter how little sleep she had the night before, no matter how many tests she had that day, she cracked a genuine smile and you caught it,” I keep my eyes on the girl in the photo. I know her face but her name escapes me – I doubt I’ve ever even talked to her. A complete stranger to me, yet I can imagine her entire story in this photo, this one photo, because Jeongguk was at the right place, at the right time. He is, very literally, capturing perfect little moments.
“Sounds like you understand photography better than you think.”
I turn to him, already expecting my heart to do its thing and sure enough, when I see barely a hint of a smile on his face, the bastard betrays me and starts beating faster.
This is what happens when the only men you communicate with on a daily basis are either teachers or friends whom you could never be attracted to, despite them being ridiculously attractive. It is high time I get laid. Maybe then my heart would stop overreacting.
After this particular moment, I decide it might be better to be quiet. Does that make everything awkward? Sure it does. But it’s pretty darn better than actually giving myself the chance to talk, only to end up blurting out something along the lines of ‘I think you’re hot’. My ‘for work’ spotify playlist is good enough to make the entire situation bearable, as we nod our heads to the rhythm.
On and on we go, until I am suddenly looking at myself.
“Oh.”
It’s a photo of me and Seokjin. I can’t be sure when it was taken, but my short sleeves and the fact we haven’t been together for months now tells me that it was probably at the start of the school year. We are walking hand in hand, both smiling. Jeongguk captured a beautiful, genuine moment.
“Well, you are the ‘it couple’ of our campus,” Jeongguk shrugs.
“Were,” I correct him. “This is obviously an old photo. Seokjin and I are no longer together. Haven’t been for months,” I explain and watch as he nods in understanding.
“That explains the recent lack of photos of the ‘it couple’,” he jokes and I roll my eyes, knowing that unfortunately, he isn’t the first person to give us that title.
Seokjin and I spent two good years together. We were in the same circle of friends. Both focused on our studies and not so much about party life. As a couple, we made sense. But time passes and feelings fade, one thing led to another and suddenly, after two years of being in a solid relationship, I was single. There was no drama, no hard feelings and no bad words. Just two people going their separate ways.
“Keep an eye on Namjoon,” I give him a knowing look. “If he plays his cards right, maybe, just maybe, he has a chance with Hyejin. They could take Seokjin and me any day.”
“Debatable, but I’ll keep that in mind,” he tells me. For reasons unknown to my sanity, I find this incredibly funny and of course, I let out the most embarrassing snort laughter I could have possibly mustered. I don’t even bow my head in shame – that ship had sailed a while ago. “Okay, I’m starving. I’m gonna go and buy us a pizza. While I’m away, you can keep on selecting the photos you want,” he tells me as he flings the backpack onto his back.
“Can you like… promise me you’ll come back and not just run away?” I ask. It’s stupid, I know it is. Even if he is planning to leave me to fend for myself, he obviously isn’t going to say it to my face. Sadly, I am the kind of person who needs reassurance more often than not. I really need it now.
“Of course I won’t run away,” Jeongguk laughs and finally, for the first time tonight, he pulls the hood away from his face. Despite the office’s shitty lighting, I can finally see him well. His face is stunning, absolutely stunning. Clear skin, beautiful round eyes, cutest nose ever, cheeks that puff up when he smiles, like he is doing right now. “Here. I’ll even offer this. Pinky promise,” he lifts his right hand and offers me his extended pinky.
“Shit just got real,” I deadpan and I think I melted a little bit on the inside when he started laughing. “Pinky promise for life,” I link my pinky with his own before remembering an important detail I have overlooked. “What kind of pizza are you getting?”
“Pepperoni with extra cheese, duh,” he says it like that is the most obvious thing in the world.
“I like you more with each passing minute, Jeongguk,” I conclude.
“Right back at you,” he smiles for what feels like the tenth time in the last minute. “I’ll be right back. Get those photos ready so we can fix this shit,” he tells me, let’s go of my pinky and off he goes.
I am left giddy, smiling like a fool and fighting an overwhelming urge to giggle. Tonight is making me feel like a teenager with a dumb crush and strangely enough, I don’t think that I dislike the feeling. I haven’t truly focused on an attractive male since Seokjin and I were in the flirting phase. Jeongguk is… interesting. Very good looking and nice enough to catch my attention. I don’t know more than that but I wouldn’t mind finding out. Or maybe we could end up taking a different direction, with him giving me a decent fuck before we forget all about each other. Would that be a shame or would it be worth it?
For the love of everything Eunhee, focus on your work. There will be time for flirting and fucking later.
“Hey,” Jeongguk startles me when he walks back inside the office.
“There is no way you are Flash.”
“No, the door is locked,” he laughs. “Could you give me your keys?”
“What door?” I frown, confused. He literally just walked through a very much unlocked door.
“This part of the building. The big glass door? Eunhee, why are you looking at me like that?” he asks, but I am already on my feet and running out the office.
“I don’t have a key Jeongguk,” I yell back as I run towards the door. I get to it and I try to open – nope, locked. I try to jiggle it open, which is as stupid as it is useless. The door remains there, unopened, as if it is mocking me, us. I don’t have the strength in me to ride out another wave of panic.
“It’s not the end of the world,” Jeongguk tells me. “We can’t get pizza but we have the vending machine. And by the time we are done, we can call Namjoon or Tae. They’re at Jimin’s party, so they will definitely be awake. They can come and get us out in no time when we are done,” he reassures me.
“Jeongguk, Namjoon doesn’t have this key either,” I sigh in defeat as I turn my back to the door to face him. “And seeing as none of us who work here all the time have the keys, I doubt Taehyung has them either. I suppose we can try to call campus security, maybe they have a spare key but if they don’t, we’re stuck here until the cleaners stop by.”
“When do the cleaners stop by?” he asks.
“Last time I pulled an all-nighter here, they showed up around 6AM,” I tell him before looking at the clock hanging on the wall right behind him. “That means we are stuck here for… seven hours.”
“Not the end of the world,” Jeongguk shrugs casually. “We have a lot of work to do anyways. A pizza would have been nice but we won’t starve in six hours. I say we focus on getting the magazine ready for printing and then just like… nap or something.”
If I wasn’t running low on energy already, I would have taken this situation seriously. If I were my usual self, the campus security guards would already be on their way here to lock us out. But at this point, at with Jeongguk being so casual about it, I no longer have any shits left to give. Besides, as he had pointed out, we have hours of work ahead of us. Chances are we would have been stuck here with or without the door being locked.
And maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the back of my mind is the thought that this might be the only chance I will ever have to spend an extended amount of time with this guy who is making me into a nervous, giddy teenage girl. Not the worst way to spend a few spare hours.
“I agree,” I sigh and force a smile at Jeongguk. “Let’s get back to work and then we’ll figure it out.”
Until 1AM, we are working mostly in silence, listening to music and occasionally chatting about casual things – usually the people in our selected photos, whether we know them or not and how if we do.
“What made you chose photography?” I ask him. I am slowly growing bored, seeing as my work was already done – I am now waiting for him to edit the selected photos. Of course, I’m not just sitting around doing nothing. Hobi’s design still needs to be finished and one by one, I am transferring the done photos as soon as he finishes them. Right now, however, I am waiting for the next one.
“I don’t know, really,” he shrugs, not even bothering to look away from the monitor as he does his editing magic. “I suppose getting a solid camera for my twelfth birthday was a turning point. Back then, I wasn’t so attached to it but I remember my parents insisting that I should be the one to take photos whenever we would travel somewhere. They said my photos always turn out the best. Then as I got older, I discovered work by other photographers. I suppose that was it.
“Are there any photographers in particular that have peaked your interest?” I ask.
“Well, Ansel Adams is an obvious answer,” he chuckles. “It depends on the genre. Testino is the best when it comes to fashion photography but that was never my thing – doesn’t make him any less brilliant. Annie Leibovitz too. I can throw out a few names but I doubt you’d know them – same way I don’t know if I could name a handful of journalists. Adams, Robert Frank and Cartier Bresson would be my favorites.”
“I feel uneducated,” I admit. “I know so little about it.”
“Hey, I just told you I doubt I could be able to name a few journalists,” he chuckles. “We all know the things we are interested in – that is very normal. But what about you? Why this? Why editing, journalism, writing?”
“I wanted to be a novelist for the longest time,” I confess. “Before I could really get into it, I realized that maybe journalism might be my thing. My dad is a journalist. It would be idiotic of me to say that I wasn’t influenced by that in some ways. I saw the good and bad sides of it and decided to go through with it anyways.”
“What are the bad sides?” he asks.
“Well, it depends on what one chooses to focus on. If you are an investigative journalist and dedicate your life to uncovering corruption and crime, it can range from death threats to actually being murdered in cold blood. My dad’s an expert in analytic journalism, which means no death threats but he was away a lot. It was never ideal but it could always be worse.”
“And what about you? Which area do you want to go in?” Jeongguk asks. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen someone take a genuine interest in my soon-to-be profession. I feel flattered.
“Honestly, I have no idea,” I admit. “Ideally, I’d like to work in investigative journalism but the side effects of it sometimes just seem like too much for me. Not to mention that with how the media is evolving, I’m not sure that would put the bread on my table. By the looks of it, I am bound to end up working as a blogger for a fashion magazine or something like that. Maybe I’ll end up being an editor, if I work hard and have luck on my side.”
“You never know,” Jeongguk tells me. “Hard work will get you places. You seem dedicated and intelligent. Although your music taste is slightly questionable,” he adds. I am about to ask why he would diss my music taste but to my horror, I recognize the song that is playing – I can’t remember the name, don’t know the artist but the singer is singing about how she is horny, horny, horny, horny tonight.
I just close my eyes, trying hard not to laugh when I hear him laughing at my reaction. I struggle to keep a poker face, but I manage. “Let’s just pretend this did not happen.”
“Nah, I will remind you of it whenever I see you in the years to come,” he jokes.
“Whatever, it’s a solid song,” I roll my eyes jokingly, enjoying this kind of teasing. He’s getting more and more comfortable around me and I am enjoying it. The more he talks, the more I realize how funny he really is. “You’ve heard my spotify playlists – you know me better than most people do.”
“True, music can tell you a lot about somebody,” he agrees. “But if I’m being honest here, your playlists only raise more questions.”
“Such as?”
“Well, it went from heavy emotional damage with Lana Del Rey,” he starts counting on his fingers. “We had a callback to teenage emo phase with ‘Fall Out Boy’, took a quick turn with ‘Whitesnake’ and now we ended up with 90s dance music about horniness. The question that is practically jumping out is what the hell you were smoking when you created such a mess of a playlist?” he asks through laughter.
“Shut up,” I jokingly punch him on the shoulder. “I was running on coffee and a lack of sleep.”
“Whatever you say, boss lady,” he grins at me. “You’re weird but likeable.”
Cue the butterflies. I say nothing but I know, I just know, he can see the stupid grin stretching on my face. I am flattered and he knows it. We are inches away to full-blown flirting and honestly, I love it.
 “Done?” he looks over at me, eyebrows raised.
“Done,” I confirm, leaning back in my chair. “Four years of studying this shit only to have to finish my career as the school paper editor literally 30 minutes before the printing deadline.”
“You’re at the finish line, that’s all that matters,” he shrugs, looking like the textbook definition of the word casual as he makes himself more comfortable on the chair, folding and sitting on his legs. “I’m the only one who knows just how nuts you went these last couple of hours and I’ll never tell.”
“No way I trust you,” I roll my eyes. “We’ve met just hours ago – I’m going to need more than just puppy dog eyes to make me believe you?”
“Puppy dog eyes?” he questions but I just shake my head, positive that the blush in my cheeks speaks for itself.
“I just have one more thing to finish,” I mumble as I scroll down to the credits page, finding the photography section. “What’s your full name?”
“Jeon Jeongguk. Why?”
“Because all the photos we have used tonight are yours,” I tell him as I highlight Taehyung’s name and backspace it into oblivion – that’s the price he pays for nearly sabotaging me inadvertently. And also, I am allowed to do that, since none of the photos are actually his. So, I type Jeon Jeongguk, G.C. F.
“You don’t have to do that,” he shakes his head, suddenly switching back to the shy guy he was when he first knocked on the office door. “I’m okay with it remaining the same.”
“I’m not – it’s your work,” I say as I attach the file to the email addressed to our printers, who will probably murder me for doing this last minute. “And done,” I click send.
“Now we nap?” he suggests.
“Or we can just… I don’t know? Talk?” I suggest.
I don’t know how to say that I want to get to know him better, maybe flirt with him and set the foundation for a chance of a good fuck later down the road, without actually saying it.
“We can talk,” he nods and I could swear there’s a hint of a smirk on his face, but it disappears before I can confirm that it’s not just a product of my imagination and wishful thinking.
There is just something about him, something I couldn’t voice, even if I wanted to. A strange kind of appeal, the golden middle between shy and cute on one side and cocky and hot on the other. The changes between the two make my interest in him grow with each passing minute.
It’s been a while since I simply wanted someone to grab me and kiss me, hard.
And I can’t say it like that because so far, he hasn’t given me a single sign that he’d be up for it. That’s exactly why I want to talk. I want to talk and see where this can go and if I have to pull out some liquid courage to make it happen, I will not hesitate.
“You know, Namjoon has an emergency stash,” I smile when I see how he looks up at me in interest. “In normal circumstances, I wouldn’t dare touch it,” I say as I stand up and head for Joon’s desk, eyes on the bottom drawer. I crouch down; jiggle the drawer two times, like he always does. It’s still a little bit stuck but with one solid pull, I manage to open in. A grin grows on my face – there lies an unopened bottle of Absolut Citron – my safety net for tonight. “I don’t think these are normal circumstances,” I add, waving the bottle and giving Jeongguk a suggestive look. “You up for it?”
“Hell yeah.”
Half a mug of vodka later, I find myself laughing at Jeongguk’s fairly stupid story about how Taehyung once almost set fire to the apartment the two of them share.
“That guy is such a hazard,” I laugh.
“Maybe, but he’s also my best friend,” he comments. “You take the risks.”
“Tell me about it,” I snort. “Try being friends with Kim Namjoon. Not a month goes by without me driving him to the hospital because he injured himself in the stupidest way possible.”
“I always thought the two of you were a thing,” Jeongguk tells me, catching me completely by surprise because that’s just about the last think I expected to hear. “I mean, before I realized that Seokjin and you are a thing. Were a thing,” he corrects himself.
“Namjoon is the last person on this planet that would want to have anything other than friendship with me,” I laugh. “It goes both ways but I have a feeling the guy would rather walk barefoot on legos than have a fling or a relationship with me.”
“Why?” he asks. Simple question, complicated answer.
“He knows me too well,” I shrug.
“Oh no,” Jeongguk laughs. “No way I’m gonna let you cop out of that one. The conversation is finally turning interesting.”
“Thanks.”
“That’s not what I meant,” he laughs. “Now elaborate. Why not?”
Is this a can of worms I want to open? Probably not. “How honest do you want me to be?” I ask anyways.
“As honest as vodka can make you at 4AM,” he smiles and for the hundredth time tonight, I have to fight the urge to coo at him.
“Joon always calls me an overachiever,” I sigh before pausing to think about how to explain what’s fundamentally wrong with me as a person. Sadly, that’s not an easy task. “Even as a teenager, I’d always know what I wanted, I would aim for it and I’d get it. Dedicated, hardworking, obsessive – call it whatever. The problem occurs whenever I realize that I can’t have it all. No one can, it’s normal, right? Not for me. I still go for it, I hit the brick wall repeatedly but I make a crack in it, I pull the bricks out and I knock it down enough for me to pass.”
“That’s admirable, not bad,” Jeongguk interrupts me. “I wish I was more like that.”
“No, you don’t,” I chuckle, pausing to chug some vodka down because I am absolutely not drunk enough for this. “The problem starts when other aspects of your life start paying the price. For example, Seokjin. I could never put him before my work. Never, ever.”
“Isn’t that normal?” he asks, looking confused as he changes his position so that he is leaning on the wall. He is also a solid foot closer to me now and I am not complaining. “I don’t know how the two of you have functioned but isn’t it ridiculous to think that one’s romantic partner should be the center of one’s life?” he asks.
“Thank you,” I nod my head. “I tried to justify it like that. I still believe in that, too.”
“Is that why you and Seokjin are no longer together?” he asks.
“That’s even more complicated,” I let out a chuckle. “It just… it ran beyond the expiration date. I can’t explain it without sounding like a bitch because I was with him for two years and he really is an amazing guy but that just… that wasn’t me. He wanted me to invest more in the relationship and while that is completely fair, it’s not what I wanted to do. That is what made me realize that we were heading nowhere. When you don’t want to make the extra effort, that’s alarming.”
“It’s also the way life goes,” he shrugs. I am impressed and envious of how casual he sees the things that were absolutely not casual to me. “If you think about it, every relationship in your life will either end in a break up or with a happily ever after. Literally, every relationship.”
Shit, he’s right. “I never thought about it like that.”
“I have,” he chuckles. “Whenever I realize it’s going nowhere and it’s not my happily ever after, I end it. That’s why I’m single. It’s easier to just… not date anyone than to tell every single person that yeah, that’s not it. Sorry. Thanks for the time,” he adds and I laugh.
“True, that does sound wrong,” I agree. “I’ve been fighting the feeling that Seokjin’s not for me for a long time.”
“Not good enough?”
“More like too good,” I correct him. “He really is a great guy. Kind, smart, funny. He’s genuinely a good guy and I’d sing his praises for hours but it was just too… I guess boring is the word I’m looking for.”
“He’s a boring guy?” he asks. Wow, he is really interested in this.
“Kind of. Don’t get me wrong, I’m hardly the life of the party myself. But it was all just so… proper with him. Movie dates with an obligatory hand over the shoulder, flowers for birthdays, always red roses. Paying for everything, nice restaurants. If we had stayed together, it would go graduation, engagement, marriage, house in the suburbs and two kids – a boy and a girl. It wasn’t boring, not really. But it was just so… proper. Excitement-less. Always blockbusters, never indie movies. Always seats at concerts, never the pit. Dull conversations – about politics and the economy, never about conspiracy theories or the supernatural. The sex,” I suddenly stop, realizing I may have taken my rant too far.
“A bit boring too?” Jeongguk asks, a grimace mixed with compassion taking over his face.
“Yeah,” I nod my head. “Good but… same. All that I mentioned before, it’s fun, it’s nice but after a while you just… want something that will keep you on your toes a little bit. Not a fuckboy or anything like that but just a guy who can actually say something that might surprise me.”
“I like your way of thinking,” he mumbles, looking away from me and keeping his eyes directly in front of him. “You’re not wrong, about anything. And even if you were, on paper, you don’t need to follow the paper – you need to follow yourself. Yeah, many girls want exactly what you’ve just described but you’re not one of those girls and that’s okay. I have a feeling that you are looking at it as a flaw but it’s really not. If something doesn’t make you feel happy or content, it’s absolutely normal to walk away from it.”
“Thanks,” is all I can mumble, knowing that any other words may not be safe. This is not the direction I hoped our conversation would take but I can’t complain – it’s oddly therapeutic.
“You’re so hard to judge,” he chuckles and turns around to offer me a smirk. “I thought I had you all figured out even before we met. Then tonight, I realized I was wrong. And an hour later, I realized I was wrong again. And just now, I have to admit that I am wrong again. You don’t fit in the typical groups.”
“Okay, you gotta elaborate that,” he chuckles as I urge him to explain. “Come on. Elaborate.”
“Overachiever. I thought that too, at first,” he tells me. “A perfect girl, with perfect grades and a perfect boyfriend. Then I get here and see you panicking and hear your playlist and I figure you’re one of those ‘inner turmoil’ kind of girl who thinks the world doesn’t get her and listens to ‘The 1975’ and Banks and hates men and most women too and just wants to be left alone.”
“Hey,” I reach over quite a bit to hit him on the shoulder. “Don’t diss ‘The 1975’.”
“My point is,” he laughs as he rubs his shoulder jokingly. “You’re not one of those groups. You’re not any of the other groups either. You are… a healthy mix of a few of them. I can’t name them all – I don’t know you well enough. I can’t label you either and that’s kind of cool.”
“Okay, give me an unpopular opinion,” I change the topic in the speed of light, realizing that if he refers to me as ‘cool’ I will pull down his pants and give him the suck of his life. While that is something I would very much like to do, I still haven’t received any signs of him sharing the thought.
“Are you really at a concert if you’re not in the pit?” he laughs and I hit him on the shoulder again, this time simply scooting closer to do that and remaining in the same position.
“Yes, you are,” I laugh. “Pit is better but you can still enjoy a concert if you’re seated. Besides, that’s not an unpopular opinion. Give me something controversial.”
“Androids are better than Iphones,” he tells me and I gasp in fake shock.
“Oh no you didn’t,” he laughs at me. “How dare you diss the apple?”
“Your turn,” he nudges me with his arm.
“Flavored drinks suck,” I mumble as I look at my mug of vodka, my precious koala mug being used for such a shitty drink. “I’m not a drinker. I’m very much a lightweight but if I do drink, I want to taste the drink, not artificial aroma and sugar.”
“Not to mention it tricks you into thinking you’re not drinking much,” he adds.
“Next thing you know, you’re standing up and the world is spinning.”
“Eunhee, I hate to break it to you, but the world is spinning,” he tells me. Another hit on the shoulder and I realize that I am about two hits away from being considered extremely violent.
“Shut up. Your turn.”
“Mint chocolate chip ice cream is awesome.”
“YES!” I startle him with a yell. “Yes! Yes! Mint chocolate chip enthusiasts will rule the world.”
“Wow, if we keep this up you will probably start a revolution,” he laughs. “Do you want to continue with the unpopular opinions talk or do something else?”
Well, what I really want is to grind on him until he has tear in his eyes and is begging me to let him cum in his pants. Or for him to bend me over a desk and fuck me until I see stars – both works for me, really, but it’s not exactly something I can say. I don’t have enough vodka in my system.
“I have a shocking one for you – foreplay is better than sex,” I announce.
“Oh, that is an unpopular opinion,” he nods his head, looking pensive. “May I ask why?”
“Because people, and when I say people, I mean men, underestimate the value of it for a woman,” I tell him. “Some enjoy it very much, of course. But in most cases, they just wanna slide it in and get it over with and that’s not how it works for us, at least not for me. I need that kind of… mutual attention. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy or extensive but like… just making out. Just making out is such a fundamental part of foreplay and sex. It’s not that special – just a kiss with the passion amped up. But god, isn’t it important? Nothing beats that moment of lazy kissing, body to body, gentle touches and squeezes and subtle grinds, all while all the words are left unsaid between the two because they are too busy moving their tongues and biting lips and struggling to breathe properly because a good make out needs to leave your breath hitched and mouth open and… a moan stuck in your throat. A good, solid make out session is a preview into what kind of lover you will have and I’ll be damned but sometimes the trailer is more enjoyable than the actual movie, if done well.”
I stop talking with my mouth hanging open. I have no idea where that came from but I do know vodka fueled it. I stop my rant and struggle to think of a sudden change of topic, trying to ignore the slightly wide-eyed look on Jeongguk’s face that my rant had caused.
It sounded more like a political discussion than make out talk. I need to learn when to shut up.
“Yeah, that’s enough of unpopular opinions,” he lets out an awkward chuckle and I know that this is another moment I will regret in the years to come. “Don’t get me wrong, it was fun,” he chuckles when he notices the look on my face. “But I’d much rather make out with you right now.”
Oh. Oh. Okay. That’s… very convenient.
The tiniest of smirks that graced his face evaporates before my eyes and turns into a frown, caused by my initial lack of response – it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I wasn’t expecting the suggestion. “If you want to, that is,” he mumbles, turning into a nervous mess, nowhere near the hot, straight-to-the-point guy he was literally seconds ago. “If you don’t, that’s totally fine and we can just talk about music and-“
“I want to,” I interrupt him. “I… really want to,” I emphasize the really, knowing that looking a bit desperate is not only honest, but will also work in my favor.
“Get over here,” he chuckles as he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him.

MDZS/Hogwarts au Headcanons
This au is a classic, but per usual I have opinions so here we go. (Also let’s pretend we do not see you know who)
All the patronuses are based on the official list and descriptions (I’ll leave the link below).
Wei Wuxian:
Gryffindor
Do I even need to make an arguement for this??
Patronus: Crow or Dolphin (I genuinely can’t decide)
Has friends in all houses and floats around among the tables in the great hall
Has been in all the houses common rooms tho
Probably good at most subjects, but he is amazing at defense against the dark arts
Definitely plays Quidditch, and is definitely the seeker too
Y’know typical over-achiver, star of the show, but without really trying
Steals books from the resticted section, not because he wants to read them, just because he was told they were off limits
He also steals food from the kitchen on his way back from the Hufflepuff common room (visiting Yanli ofc)
Is the kid that looses all of the points for his house, which means he also has most of the names in trophy room memorized (just from the sheer amount of time he’s had to clean them in detention)
Curfew is more of a suggestion, in his opinion nightime is the best time to roam the castle
He’s ended up in the hospital wing so many times that he basically has a bed reserved
Jiang Cheng:
Gryffindor
Between the loyalty, courage, ambition to “attempt the impossible,” and secret heart of gold, he could rival wwx’s Gryffindor spirit
Patronus: Chow Dog
Grumpily follows around during his misadeventures to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself
Or rather he’s the one who drags wwx’s ass to the hospital wing when he does hurt himself
Only one out of the trio (wwx, nhs, jc) who actaully studies
Hates divination, thinks it’s all a hoax, and it bugs the crap out of him that nhs actually belives in it
Is the captain of the Quidditch team, started as a chaser but now he’s the keeper
Was chosen to be a prefect
His favorite perk is the fancy bathtub, which nhs has definitely bribed him to gain access to
Shares his dorm with wwx, and he’s always complaining how he has to drag him out of bed
Lan Wangji:
Ravenclaw
He do be out here being super creative with that Guqin, and also owning our asses with his intelligence
Patronus: Wild Rabbit
I’d estimate that he spent 90% of the first 3 years of school in the library
Insert intense glaring at wwx as he tries to sneak into the restricted section
Somehow missed that wwx played Quidditch until his brother dragged him to a game
Needless to say he never missed a Gryffindor game after that
Somehow he managed to score one point off of a perfect grade on his OWL
Y’all already know he’d be a prefect, do I even need to say it
His favorite place in the castle is the window seat in Ravenclaw tower
Pretends to protest wwx sneaking into his common room
Imagine: Wangxian Hogsmeade dates and wwx trying to get him to wear his Quidditch jersey
Lan Xichen:
Hufflepuff
Although I feel like you could make a strong case for Ravenclaw, but the compassion and open-mindedness wins out
Patronous: White Swan
Professors love him, even Snape manages to tolerate him, probably by his 5th year he’s friends with half his professors
His favorite class is herbology but he’s also really good at charms and transfiguration
Owns an owl that he shares with his brother that he named something dumb like “Harold”
Has the Daily Prophet delievered every morning, and always thanks “Harold”
He grew up in a pure blood family so he is fascinated by muggle culture, and he is constantly asking jgy questions
Once jgy shared music from his ipod (yknow like one of the og ipods) and it blew his mind
Probably tried to help the house elves in the kitchen at some point, but was kicked out because he caused more damage then actual help
Somehow he was made a prefect in his fourth year???
He just roots for the under dog in Quidditch games, which often leads to a friendly competition between he and his brother (Gryffindor is never the underdog, not with wwx and jc on the team)
Nie Huaisang:
Slytherin
Again do I even need to make a case for this???
Patronus: Sparrow
Doesn’t even try and hide the fact that he let’s wwx and jc into the Slytherin common room
Often sits at the Gryffindor table because he wants to sit with wwx and jc
Instead of studying, he is constantly trying to find ways to cheat by designing bewitched items
By his 7th year he has his own business selling his cheats
His favorite class is divination, everyone assumes it’s because he’s a believer, but in reality he finds the subject hilarious and he’s amazed how a scam can go so far as to have a full educational class dedicated to it
Forged his brother’s signature on the Hogsmeade form, because Mingjue told him he wasn’t allowed to go if he was failing a class
Can’t fly a broom for the life of him
Barely passed his OWLS
In general he’s far more concerned with gossip and playing match-maker then doing any of this school work (who do you think told lxc to bring lwj to a Gryffinsor Quidditch game??)
(My monkey Xiyao controled brain likes to think that he’s been trying to set the two of them up for years, but that might just be me)
Jin Guangyao:
Slytherin
AGAIN do I really need to explain my thought process on this??? He’s cunning and manipulative, case closed, I do not take critism
Patronus: Grass Snake
Struggles in conjouring magic, but makes up for it in written work and testing
In general he works very hard and is most likely top of his class, despite the lack of natural ability
His favorite class is potions, because it’s simply a matter of following directions
The first friend he made was lxc after realizing as first years that they had really similar class schedules and decided to study together
His mother was a muggle, and thus he was raised in the muggle world, so there’s a lot of prejudice from his housemates
Every once in awhile he’ll quietly ask lxc to explain something about the wizarding world
To the annoyance of his house, he was made a prefect
Somewhere along the way he befriended nhs
The relationship dynamic is as follows: jgy forces nhs to study, while nhs forces him to come with him to Hogsmeade (mainly so that he doesn’t have to pay for his own food)
Jiang Yanli:
Hufflepuff
She’s just so sweet, compassionate, and kind not to be a Hufflepuff
Patronus: Doe
Her favorite classes are Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures
She’s really good with animals
She read that you were allowed to bring an animal and immediately went out to buy a cat
Buys wwx snacks on the Hogwarts Express, even though she made him lunch
She brought a phonograph and a collection of records from home, and set it up in the common room
No one knows where it came from, but people started to slowly add to the collection of records
Now the common room is just constantly filled with music
Lxc knows it was her, but he didn’t see the harm in letting it stay, so he let it be (plus he also enjoys music)
She goes to Quidditch games and roots for Gryffindor despite... not being in Gryffindor (she’s a supportive sister)
Spent most of her 4th year stopping wwx from fighting Jin Zixuan (the year before she started dating him)
She really do be living the cliche dream of the Hufflepuff/Slytherin relationship
Jin Zixuan:
Slytherin
He’s the typical pompous, preppy, asshole, that people assiociate with Slytherins
Patronus: Peacock
The first thing he did when he got to Hogwarts was set up his side of the dorm room to make it more up to his “standards”
His dad tried to convince him to play Quidditch, but he refused
Basically ignores jgy’s existence.... even though they’re in the same house
Loathes herbology because it requires getting his hands dirty
Is racist(?) towards muggleborns
He always has a mob of girls surrounding him at all times, yet doesn’t know how to properly process his own feelings for Yanli
I’d say he’s trying his best but that would be a lie, he thinks he’s doing the most though
He takes school very seriously, and he scored pretty well on his OWLS
One time in potions something went wrong and his potion blew up in his face quite literally, and wwx hasn’t let him live that down
Xue Yang:
Slytherin
He is bad man grrrrrr and a sly bastard, so ofc he’s the house of snek
Patronus: Weasel
Everyone hates him, his professors, his housemates, even the ghosts avoid him
Except Peeves, in fact Peeves love him
Probably because he’s constantly messing with people
He’s the only person to rival wwx’s detention record
He is fantastic at defense against the dark arts
He likes to mess with Trelawney by purposely making death omens in his readings
He just doesn’t do assignments, yet does really well on exams and passes???
Snape would vouch for him, that’s the vibe I get
He plays as a beater on his Quidditch team, and he’s known for knocking people out
Xiao Xingchen:
Hufflepuff
He’s kind, selfless, and is always trying to see the good in people, which screams Hufflepuff
Patronus: Dragonfly
Is really good with charms
Even though he’s of age, he hates appariting and will do a lot to avoid it
Runs group study sessions, with the help of sl
A big activist in freeing house elves working for old families
Stops to have full conversations with the paintings
Is the only person in the school that tries to be friendly to Xue Yang
Song Lan:
Ravenclaw
He seems to have that very principled and intelligent nature of a Ravenclaw
Patronus: Dun Stallion
He doesn’t really have a lot of friends outside of xxc, but he doesn’t seem to mind
He’s that one person who actually enjoys professor Binns’ History of Magic class
He lets xxc drag him to Hogsmeade, even though the crowded shops make him uncomfortable
Shh it’s a secret but he also has a major sweet tooth and he will buy a shit ton of candy
Because of his scary amount of knowledge of Hogwarts and its history, he managed to find the room of requirement
So he and xxc end up moving their study sessions there when their group size outgrows the library
Anyway that’s all for now, but if you have a request be sure to ask!
Anyway I’m proud of the patronus choices I made for these, mostly. I know that it’s inevitable that someone will disagree with the house placements, so just note that these are purely my opinons.

Not His Type [Kiro MLQC]
Tumblr media
Pairing: Kiro x Female!Reader
Warnings: Cursing ofc, angst stuff, reader is portrayed as big and somewhat brooding, she is teasing and a little rude <3
A/N: This is for all my girls that aren’t really like the MC in this game. Not smol, no tiny fists or weak punches. Maybe not that sweet or bubbly or outgoing. This is for my big brooding bitches. The ones that don’t fit like they should and hide their sweet little hearts because the world isn’t too nice if you aren’t properly portioned with your fat or bigness. I see you.((Also I’m aware Kiros fanbase as I’ve read so far is portrayed nicely, but knowing how pretty boy fanbases tend to be at times, I’m being realistic with this one))
Tumblr media
Kiro is probably the sweetest guy you’ve ever known- a literal angel if you will. He’s kind and pretty much always around when you need a pick-me-up. Which was insane, considering his busy schedule and how him going anywhere can be difficult. His fans for the most part are alright, but there’s so many, they swarm instantaneously. It happens so quick you wonder how he hasn’t suffered some sort of whiplash. 
However, nice as they are, some aren’t so nice. Kiro’s evol really only cures this in person. Online, not really. Some people have some set vision for Kiro. Who he could be seen with- who he could ever like.It’s a little crazy, how he’s put with people he’s never really met or how they rage at him liking a certain post or picture. Sure, it’s a small percentage, but it’s enough to have him be a little careful.
It kinda sucked, having to hide when hanging out, but it made sense. You could just imagine the fits people would have if someone like you was seen with him. You’re no model. You don’t have designer clothes or your own fanbase. You just run a company, kind of. On top of that? You’re not really his type- or at least you think so. You don’t quite shine like he does. You’re not small or quaint like some of the fans he meets. You’re a little taller than him, your frames a little bigger- you’re sure you’d look awkward with him.
You hated to have that mindset but.. this was your reality. You knew it. You just hated how it didn’t help you try to fight what you were feeling. The last thing you needed in your life was to fall for a pop star. It wouldn’t end well for you- especially knowing what it sounds like to hear him say ‘Do you love me like I love you?” with such emotion. He’d said those three special words so sweetly, it about ruined you, but it wasn’t real. It wasn’t for you, and he’d even made a little joke about it. You know he meant no harm, yet it still hurt.
You kinda hated it. This ‘not his type’ stuff was high school nonsense and you swore you left that all behind. You hated how it somehow came back to haunt you. Giving you flashbacks to memories you tried to bury deep.
“Sorry, Miss Chips, I gotta go back out there again, see you in a bit!”, Kiro said, his happy tone breaking you from your tiny spiral of sad thoughts.
He’d wanted to hang out, but he had some sort of rehearsal,and so the hang out led you to being backstage with him somewhere. All you’d really done was listen to him recite some lines to study, but it was enough. You almost hated that- how just being near him was enough, yet also not even close to enough. It was bittersweet.
You watched him hurry back out to where he was needed, his golden locks bouncing with his stride.
Since you came here, you’d heard murmurs among his crew, mainly the women in it. Hushed questions were asked as eyes lingered on you when you weren’t looking. You almost wished you could say what you wanted, but all of it would be lies. Kiro was not and never would be yours. You weren't sure if he’d ever be anyones. His fanbase just wouldn’t allow it. 
“I’m not his girlfriend.”, you say, tone irritated for all sorts of reasons, “I’m not his type, didn’t you know? So can you please be quiet? I have a headache.”
You hadn’t intended to be so sharp or bitter, but saying the truth can do that to a person. No one wants to say that their not the right type for the person they’ve grown to yearn for. It’s painful to think on, and it almost kills you to say it.
Kiro is a sweet-heart, a loving ball of sunshine and he deserves the best. He doesn’t fit with the angry bitch some of his crew-women are whispering angrily about. 
‘Do you love me like I love you?’
No, because you don’t love me..
Something deep inside hurt. It ached and it burned- it made you ask yourself why you were like this. A biting type personality, soft little heart breaking, buried under all the angry and sad. Why this body- why this person? Why couldn’t you be bright and bubbly?
Why couldn’t you be his type?
But oh darling, you are. He is the sun and you are his moon- this big beautiful moon that makes him laugh till his stomach hurts. You make him smile until he can’t feel his cheeks and just the mere thought of you makes him feel so warm inside. He loves how you’re tough- how you become even tougher when you see those you care for being bothered or upset. How you handle your own and even give him a taste of his own teasing medicine. Your smile is rare, and so he feels so special when seeing it. Your laugh rings like the best music he’s ever heard, the volume of it just means he must be damn funny.
He adores all of who you are. He’d proudly hold your hand and damn all who dare to say you don’t fit with him. He’s grown to love you so blindly and so plainly- but you can’t see it.
You’ve blinded yourself, gouged your own eyes out with your bare hands. You’ve hurt yourself, but you’ve also hurt him.
“I’m not his type, didn’t you know?”
He keeps his back to the wall, eyes cast down.
“I’m not his girlfriend.”
You said it so surely- so bitterly. It made him wonder if maybe he was reading things wrong. Maybe the idea of being his girlfriend bothered you because he wasn’t your type. The thought ate at him in a way he didn’t like. It burned within his chest, making him put a hand against it, as if he could stop the ache and the burning. Maybe he was right all along, and he wasn’t for you.He’d read everything all wrong- and oh it hurt.
It hurt so bad, he had this.. power to charm. He could make anyone love him if he was shallow- and the one person he really, truly wanted to just.. adore him, didn’t.
He’d do anything for your love. He was so certain it must be so amazing, you had so much to give, so much to offer.
He just wished he was the one you’d give to. He gave to you every single day.
“Kiro! Pay attention, we have to get this right!”
He shot up instantly, happy mask going on within seconds, “Sorry, sorry! Just practicing a little more!”, he said, making his smile big and bright.
Only to have it fall when he found you gone. You never left without saying goodbye to him. It stung even more when he remembered that, but he’s not sure if you leaving would hurt less if you had said bye. His emotions were all over after hearing you say all that- what even caused you to?
What was said to you? Who were you talking to?
Tumblr media
Miss Chips is typing..
Miss Chips: Sorry Kiro, my head hurts and I don’t really wanna bother you when you’re working. See you later?
Kiro is typing..
Kiro: Sorry Miss Chips :{ I hope your headache gets better, I promise next time it’ll be just us!
Miss Chips is typing..
Miss Chips: Dw about it. I’m gonna sleep it off, text you later!
Kiro stared at his phone, questioning whether or not he should bring up what he heard. He didn’t want to upset you, and who knows if you’d answer him. You had a knack for avoiding conversations and questions you didn’t want to deal with. It was the one part of you he kind of didn’t like. When you closed-up, you closed tightly. Nothing would make you open, and no one could ever tell when you’d open again.
It would be months before he got to see you in person again. He got this creeping feeling of you distancing yourself from him. He hated to think on it, but surely it was happening. You didn’t laugh like you used to- didn’t smile with your eyes like you often did. They looked dull.
It killed him to see.
“Don’t you know, I’m no good for you..”

Hey, it's uni anon, I have couple more questions if that's ok 👉👈 1. Is the workload more difficult than sixth form/college? I feel like uni is soo much more difficult, this is the part I'm worried about most. 2. Would you recommend living in the uni dorms or no? 3. How did you decide which course to take? 4. From your experience, is going to uni better than college? Your advice from the last question helped so much and eased some of my worries lol
hihiii!!! thats totally cool bro!!
hmm in terms of difficulty i would say it rly depends on the course ur doing/how the uni handles it? i can’t speak for everyone but as a first year physicist i found it pretty difficult lmao, but i think i struggled mostly because my organisation was Horrible and i barely went to any of the lectures ( when i say i was a mess i mean it LMAO next year will be much smoother me think).  the work load each department sets varies wildly, my department set me 3/4 assignments per week as well as labs which was.... alot jkdjlk but my flatmate who studied linguistics&language got barely any work so it rly does depend. don’t be too worried tho, i feel with things like these u can only experience it and decide for urself. also also if u attend all ur lectures and take notes On time and have a steady pace and people u can ask for help eeeeverything should be completely fine !! slacking off is the worst lmao i speak from experience 
ok so the pros of moving out is, INDEPENDENCE BABEY !!!!!! ITS LIKE A DRUG U WILL BE ADDICTED NLKDHJD no one to tell u what to do or anything if u want to go for a walk at 5am u can do exactly that lmao, coming from a desi background i ... i rly enjoyed the independance lol(but make sure to be safe broski) , another pro is u learn So many life skills. i learned how to cook, clean , book accomodations, wake up on time(ok i failed that bit lmao), aaaaand so much more, its truly such a valuable experience!!! as for cons, for me, i missed amma so much, im so used to spending all my time with her and depending on her so moving away made me uhhh v sad lol, she also wakes me up on school days so u can imagine how many early lectures i missed (all of them) OOP jskjhj. aaaand the worst one i think is cooking, washing dishes and laundry. it was hard to keep up with these essentials esp since im used to amma helping me but, if u manage ur time properly, no problem at all!! so imo i would probably reccomend moving out, it was just such an interesting wild experience and im v glad i didnt miss on it, but ofc its not for everyone so yep!
dbdkJDFKJDD ok i. i honestly just.... im ashamed i chose physics because i watched an anime abt physics and thought it was cool im the worst person to ask for advice lmAO . i had no idea what i wanted to do but i did physics for alevels so i just went with the flooooow and here i am lol 
hmmmm i would say theyre both just such different experiences? sixth form for me was the exact same as school, no different rly, 8am-2pm studying and what not but moving out for uni was just a completely different life, different people, different city and no parents, i personally enjoyed both of them !! there will be difficult times and fun times but its honestly hard to compare the two when they both are such different experiences,, 
i hope this helped bro !!!! i was so scared before 1st year so i completely get u, i really hope this helped ease ur worries !!! i tried to make it shorter but god i ramble so much rip sorry dikjhdsc

Dean finished tying Sam to a hotel chair while watching Castiel handcuff Maggie to the headboard of the motel bed. Wondering if he should have followed that advice because both of them had been acting odd. At first, Dean thought it was because they were adjusting to being back from the Cage, but as the weeks passed, Sam’s drive to hunt bordered on fanatical and Maggie was, for the most part, so calm and reserved that she barely spoke during the day. Unless she was pissed off and trying to get a rise out of Dean.
Maggie was the first to wake from the angelic induced sleep and immediately began jerking her wrists against her restraints, as she asked venomously, “Are you going to make me call you ‘Daddy’ or ‘Sir’ this time?”
Castiel straightened up and narrowed his eyes at her, “Neither, since I am not your father nor your superior.”
“Not what I meant,” Maggie said, her voice not giving away anything as she continued, “Is this how you want me, Cassie?”
At first, the question baffled Castiel, but he brushed it off. Lifting a single eyebrow, he leaned down so that he could look directly into her eyes and said, “For now? Yes.”
“Knock it off, Mags,” Dean warned from his side of the room as he leaned against the dresser, “You see what I mean, Cas? Her and Sam have been like this since they got back. I tried calling Gabriel, but his ass has been MIA for weeks.”
“Curious,” Castiel said as he straightened up and crossed over to Sam’s unconscious form, “We should wake him. The quicker we can get to the bottom of the situation, the better.”
The next hour had to be the longest Dean had had to endure in a long while. Between Castiel’s interrogations of his brother and sister, then watching the angel plunge his hand inside them, Dean felt wrung out by the time it was done. Neither one of them had souls. It was a lot to take in, that and the fact that there was little to no chance of ever getting them out of the Cage.
“So, are you gonna untie me?” Sam asked from his chair, twisting his wrists to loosen the hastily tied knots holding the ropes together.
Dean shook his head and snapped, “No.” He needed to think. He needed a plan. One that would get his family back the way they were before all this mess started.  
“I think he likes us right where we are, Sam,” Maggie said, crossing her legs and rattling her wrists for emphasis, “Can’t trust something that doesn’t have a soul.”
“How the hell am I even supposed to let you two out of this room?” Dean asked, clearly annoyed at them as he started to pace.
“Dean, I'm not some psycho. I didn't want you to get hurt. I was just trying to stop the vamps,” Sam sighed heavily, feeling one of the knots give way with a subtle shift of weight.
Eyeing his brother, Dean couldn’t believe what he was hearing, “You're kidding, right?”
“Well, what are you gonna do? Keep us locked up in here forever?” Maggie asked, shifting her shoulder to see if she could get one of her wrists loose.
The thought of releasing them had crossed his mind, but so did images of them strangling him in his sleep or worse, “You say that like it's a bad thing.”
“Okay, fine. Look, I get it. I get it, Dean. I was wrong, but I'm telling you It's still me. And Maggie’s a bitch but she always kinda was,” Sam shot back, testing to see what Dean really wanted to hear.
Dean snapped his head around to stare at Sam in disbelief. That Sam would actually call someone a bitch, let alone his sister. Studying Sam closely as he slowed his pacing, Dean asked, “Is it?”  Part of him wanted to believe that it was true. That it was still Sam and Maggie in the room, but without their own Jiminy Cricket to help them become real boys, rather than the wooden puppets he was stuck with.
“Yes,” Maggie said in exasperation, “so just let us go and stop being a dick for ten minutes.”
“No way in hell,” Dean shook his head, standing his ground. This was for the best whether they realized it or not, at least for now.
Sighing, Sam shifted in his seat, and feeling the final knot unravel, “I didn't want it to come to this.” The ropes fell to the floor and Dean cursed internally at having forgotten that Sam could free himself from some of the more intricate knots. Standing at in a completely bored voice, Sam said, ”You're not gonna hold me, Dean -- Not here, not in a panic room, not anywhere. You're stuck with the soulless guy, so you might as well work with me.”
“I'm gonna be watching every move you make,” Dean warned as he glanced back at Maggie, who had gone quiet and was staring at Castiel like she was willing him to burst into flames.
“Fine. Sounds about right to me,” Sam agreed with a nod, keeping Dean on his side was his best option.
“Cas, clean him up,” Dean ordered as he dug into his pocket. Retrieving the handcuff keys, he went to free Maggie. “All right, if we're gonna figure out what happened to your soul, then we need to find who yanked you out. You say you don't know?” he asked Sam, knowing that Maggie probably wouldn’t answer him anyway.
“No idea,” Sam said.
Once Maggie’s hands were free, Dean took the cuffs and shoved them back in his duffel, “Then we start a list. If it's so hard to spring someone out of the box, then who's got that kind of muscle?” Dean looked to Castiel for his guidance. He was the only angel he knew that had the first-hand experience with springing people from Hell.
“I don't know,” Castiel said as he broke the staring contest with Maggie and diverted his attention to Sam, “You have no memory of your resurrection?”
“I woke up in a field. That's all I got,” Sam provided helpfully.
“No clues? Nothing?” Dean asked, looking between his siblings. He needed something to go on, otherwise, they’d just be spinning their wheels.
“I've got one,” Maggie drawled, thinking of Gabriel as her eyes turned to each of the men in the room, “But he’s unavailable.”
.oOo.
Slamming the door to the motel room, Maggie tossed her bag and went straight to the bathroom. She didn’t know where her brother was and at this point, she didn’t care. She knew that she was supposed to, something Sam had brought up, but neither of them could muster the feelings to care about Dean, or anything. They’d found his phone in the middle of the crop circle but no sign of Dean anywhere. It was inconvenient. They were supposed to figure out what was going on and now they had to wait around the room for something that would happen eventually. It was the waiting that frustrated her.
As Maggie took out her displeasure on the motel room, slamming doors and trying to find something to occupy her time, Sam decided that he wouldn’t waste the effort on sharing his sister’s irritation. Relaxing on the bed, he started to think about what could be making Maggie act this way. They were both soulless, and he rarely felt irritation unless pushed, even then it was quickly resolved. But nothing was pushing Maggie. He figured it must be situational, and as he considered the events of the past few days and weeks, it hit him: she wasn’t getting laid.
Sitting up in the bed, Sam ran through the list in his head before he said anything. He needed to be certain, no use pissing her off further by bringing up some nonsense. Since she had come back, she and Dean hadn’t been alone except at night. But when they were alone, from what Sam could hear, they weren’t going at it like recently reunited penguins. Sam had overheard Maggie enjoying some alone time, and now that he thought about it critically, she had been doing that every day for the last few weeks, sometimes more than a few times if she could get alone.
“Maggie, can I ask you something?” Sam blurted, without Dean or any other people around, there was no point in preamble.
“What?” Maggie said as she jerked the pins holding her hair up.
Sam scooted to the end of the bed, and without considering her feelings, asked, “When’s the last time you fucked?”
She stopped for a moment as she thought about it, counting back until her last memory of having sex. She hadn’t been properly laid since before going to the Cage. In fact, she could only think of one time, “The weekend before I agreed to be Michael’s vessel. So, nearly a year on Earth if I’m doing my math correctly. Why are you asking?”
“Making an observation is all,” Sam said, “Just like I’ve noticed it's been quiet with you and Dean lately. Which is surprising.”
Maggie finished letting her hair down and shoved her jeans down to the floor which left her dressed in a shirt that barely covered her panty clad ass. “He isn’t interested,” she said as she stepped out of the bathroom to put her discarded clothes in her bag, “Last time I tried to anything, he gave me some song and dance about the traumas of Hell. I tell you what’s traumatic: being horny with only your hand and a warm shower.”
His eyes followed her every movement. It wasn’t that he’d been oblivious to the fact that Maggie was an attractive woman but until that moment he’d never entertained the idea that she was a sexual creature. As quickly as the idea popped into his mind, images of her bent over the table as he pounded into her had his cock tingling with interest.
Reaching out, Sam took hold of Maggie’s wrist and calmly pulled her toward him, “I think we can fix that.”
“Fix what?” she asked.
His free hand drifted up her thigh, squeezing along the way, “You need some release that isn’t self-induced. I’m bored and interested. All you have to do is say ‘yes’ and your problem is fixed.”
Maggie considered his words for a moment while she chewed on the corner of her lip. Sam made an excellent point. Why go to the trouble of searching out a new partner when one was available right in front of her?  Carding her fingers through his hair, Maggie crashed their mouths together, kissing him like like this was how she would sate the only hunger she’d had since coming back. Lowering herself until she was straddling his leg, she ground her sex against his thigh, feeling the tension build.
Rising from the bed, Sam kept his lips to hers, sucking and nipping until he could hear soft sighs coming from her.  Sam smirked against her mouth before spinning her around so that her back was pressed to his chest. His hands moving across her body until one was cupping her breast through her shirt. “I can’t tell. Is this a yes?” Sam murmured, easing his hand down the front of her panties. The tip of his long fingers dipping between her folds to find her already wet and slippery, a fact that he took advantage of by spreading it over her.
“Yes,” Maggie hissed, bucking up against his palm and gasping at the brief, teasing pressure on her clit, “Don’t stop, Sam.”
Sam trailed his lips down the side of her neck, inhaling the scent of the hotel soap mixing with the smell of dried sweat. With a subtle shift of his wrist, two of his fingers slipped into her opening. Slowly pumping into her at first to savor the gripping heat but Maggie didn’t have the patience for slow. She grabbed hold of his forearm and pushed his fingers deeper, her hips moving faster as she tried to chase after her own pleasure. “Do you think you get to use me like a toy?” Sam growled as he untangled their hands and pushed her panties down her legs, “You got that a little backward, Mags. You’re my toy today and you will be happy with what I give you.”
She twisted around to glare at him. This was a new side to him that she’d never seen before and she wondered why she never saw any hint of this before now. The growl in his voice sent a chill through her that made the ache between her legs grow. “Is that so, Sammy?” she taunted, her surprise melting into wire tight need as she ran a hand over the bulge in the front of his jeans, “Then show me how big boys play with their things.”
He didn’t waste any time before pushing her face down on the bed she was supposed to be sharing with Dean. Neither slept, so the two beds were pointless, until now. She only laid under the covers, staring at the ceiling for the four hours that Dean would sleep. She let out a satisfying grunt as she landed on the mattress. Sam pulled his shirt off and tossed it away in time to land a firm slap on Maggie’s upturned ass when she tried to twist around to face him. “Kitty up, face down,” he commanded as he reached down to open his pants and shoved them, along with his boxers, down to the floor.
“Is it in yet?” Maggie asked, glancing over her shoulder from her newly assumed position.
Sam didn’t utter a word, throwing her a knowing smirk as he sank to his knees on the bed behind her, disappearing from her view. Facing Maggie’s bare pussy, Sam ran his fingers over her slit, spreading her open to reveal the pink, delicate folds. Leaning down, he ran his tongue over her inner lips, moaning at the salty taste of her slick. With or without a soul, this had always been Sam’s favorite thing to do to a woman. To bring them to shuddering completion with his mouth wrapped around their clit.
Maggie couldn’t hold back the moans that escaped her. During her younger days she’d nearly perfected the ability to suppress any sounds during sex but today she didn’t control herself. The feeling of him licking and sucking at her pussy had her balling up her fists in the thin blankets of the bed. It’d been too long since she’d had anything between her legs that wasn’t attached to her or powered by batteries she’d forgot how good it could be. “S-sam!” she gasped when he moved up and flicked his tongue over her ass.
“Don’t tell me you’ve never had this done before,” Sam said as he pushed his fingers back into her, thrusting quickly and swirling his tongue around her puckered entrance.
“N-no..” Maggie groaned the new sensation of her ass being licked open had an orgasm building to the point where her thighs were starting to quiver, “He thought it was dirty.”
“It is,” Sam purred, turning his face to bite at the curve of her ass cheek, “but I’m not Dean and I can feel how much you like it. Quivering around my fingers just aching to cum. Aren’t you, Sis?”
She didn’t have time to answer before the tension inside her peaked and she fell apart under Sam’s mouth and fingers. It wasn’t an earth-shattering orgasm but it was still damned good, leaving her lax and panting against her forearms.
“Don’t go falling asleep on me, Mags. Not done with you, yet,” Sam said, standing up on his knees and pulling her hips back against him. Gripping his cock, he stroked it a few times, rubbing the head against her entrance and slowly easing inside her. Moving his hand from her hip to the back of her head, he grabbed a handful of the long tresses before snapping his hips forward, sinking all the way to the base with a single thrust.
Maggie’s head reared back as she cried out. Sam was bigger than Dean, there was no doubt about that any longer. She could feel him stretching her in ways she hadn’t felt since she’d lost her virginity. Pushing up onto her hands, she braced herself against each of Sam’s thrusts. The strength of which made the cheap bed frame creak in protest. “P-please. Sam.” she gasped.
“Do you like that? Getting fucked by your little brother?” Sam grunted, fingers digging into the curve of her hip to hold her steady as he pounded into her, “Tell me it’s better than Dean ever gave you.”
“Fuck yes,” she moaned.
“Say it...” Sam ordered, giving her hair a sharp tug.
“B-better than Dean… so good,” Maggie said, one hand flying back to try and touch him. She wanted more. She wanted him closer; to feel the flex of his muscles against her, “So fucking good.”  
Growling low in his throat, Sam released her with a shove, earning a protesting whine from her. Flipping her over onto her back, he pulled Maggie’s legs up onto his shoulders and positioned his cock at her entrance, “Beg for it,” he said with a wicked grin.
When Sam spoke she was taken aback. She didn’t even know what to say to a request like that. All she wanted was for him to get back inside her and finish what he’d started.
“I said beg,” Sam reached between them and gave her pussy and open-palmed slap, “Beg, like a bitch in heat.”
Maggie squirmed beneath him, the sting of his fingers against her sex making her body spasm. She had opened her mouth to protest when his hand slapped against her again. “Oh fuck!” Maggie keened, “Sam, stop teasing and fuck me.”
“Good girl,” Sam growled, as he pushed his cock into her with care to take his time, to really feel her stretch around his girth. Rolling his hips against her as his hand skated along her sides until he had a breast in each hand, taking his time to circle each of her nipples with the pads of his thumbs.
The new angle and the way he moved had his cock head brushing against her g-spot. Moaning, Maggie arched up into his touch, meeting each of his thrusts with resistance to feel him deeper inside her. So lost in her own pleasure, she didn’t notice his hand moving until it was wrapped around her throat, squeezing hard enough for her to feel her breath restrict. She grabbed hold of his hand and bucked up against him, staring up at him in confusion.
“Don’t fight me, you trust me, don’t you?” Sam asked, leaning down to kiss the corner of her mouth, his hand relaxing to let her breath, “This makes it better, I promise. Don’t you want to cum on my cock?”
Sam’s cock brushed up against her sweet spot again and Maggie nodded, laying her hand over his and tightening her grip. She had to admit that his fingers felt good around her throat. Almost as good as him being inside her. He positioned his grip and held tight, making sure to only restrict her breathing a little, not the carotid arteries, his hips snapping forward and all Maggie could do was gasp for breath. She gave up and held her breath as the tension inside her shifted; opening up until she felt like she was going to explode and float away at the same time.
“That’s it, Mags,” Sam urged her on when he felt her cunt start to flutter around his cock. His fingers opening and closing to let Maggie drag in little snatches of air, “Cum for me. Cum for your baby boy.”
Maggie’s eyes nearly rolled back in her head as her orgasm crashed into her. Needing to hold onto something as her world shook apart, she grabbed onto Sam’s shoulders with both hands and dragged her nails down his arms, leaving angry-looking welts behind. With a guttural moan, she gushed slick over his cock, coating him from tip to base and drenching his balls.
“Oh shit,” Sam exclaimed through clenched teeth as he felt his sister squirt all over him. It was too much for him. The moment she’d started to cum he’d wanted to join her but had held off. This had been the first time he’d gone bare in any woman and the temptation to let loose deep inside her, but he refused to take the risk. Riding out the last of her shudders, Sam pulled out just before he was about to cum and wrapped his fist around his cock, carefully aiming until he unloaded thick and hot across the top of her pussy.
Maggie dropped her arms to the bed and watched Sam with detached interest as he sat back to inspect her and the bed. She was spent to the point of feeling like a marionette with cut strings. “That was exactly what I needed,” she said with a hint of a satisfied smile.
“You must have,” Sam looked up from where he was running his fingers over her cum coated pubic hair, watching his leavings spread thin over her skin, “We made a mess, well… you did.”
She sat up and hummed, sliding into Sam’s lap like she’d spent years doing it, “That’s new.”
Sam cocked an eyebrow, pulling her closer, “You never? Not even a little bit?”
Maggie shook her head slowly. She’d enjoyed herself more in the past hour than she had in the past year. Being soulless obviously had its perks if it led to letting go enough to enjoy sex completely instead of worrying about what others thought or did. “Actually,” she said, winding her arms around Sam’s neck, “I wouldn’t mind trying again. As soon as you’re up for it.”
Without a word, Sam dropped her back down to the bed and immediately began to kiss across her breasts. He’d just reached the peak of the first one when the door to the hotel room burst open and Dean rushed inside.
“Maggie, Sam,” he began then stopped cold in his tracks. His fists clenching and eyes going hard when he saw Sam on top of Maggie like he had a right to be there and bruises starting to form on her neck, “What the fuck, Sam?!” he growled with barely contained rage.
Sam looked up, the picture of innocence with a hint of the devil in his smile, “Giving her what she needs.”

scenario: tingyan is forcibly convinced decides to sign up for the mgas. time & place: july 1st, resturaunt in gangnam  word count: 1,563 notes: in case anyone was curious, jinjae is just a npc i placed in to help further her development! ofc this isn’t an official part of the event but this is a pretty big shift for her so i thought it deserved an explanation!  
it all started with a drink.
the same as any other she had in seoul, sipped in the comfort of a booth at the restaurant near her home. the food was alright, the service a little slow, but it was a minute's walk from her apartment and it meant she could get home as late as she wanted (or as drunk as she wanted), all without the worry of meeting trouble on the way. in front of her sat choi jaejin, her endearingly nerdy friend and computer science major. while they attended the same school, they'd coincidentally met through dance classes, and from there hung out outside of practice and around campus. though the atmosphere was more of a hideout for blind dates and couples who wouldn't last past two weeks, the pair used it as their way to cram for impending exams.  
"can i have a drink?" the female asked desperately, reaching for the red bottle to satisfy her craving. with a quickness, her hand was swatted away, jaejin's eyes alone doing the job to scold her. "no, noona! we've got an exam in 2 days, and you're stress drinking again. we can't study properly when you're drunk, you know."
and she did. a whine of frustration signals her to lay her head on the table, downturned lips resembling a child's pout. they were in hour 3 of studying already, and the food they had been enjoying was long gone - all that was remaining were straw wrappers and a bill they'd still been arguing over. tingyan's eyes wander from the table, to the customers, to jaejin - anywhere but the books in front of her. it wasn't that she wasn't willing to learn, but the whole process had been incredibly frustrating. she had her korean in a few short days, and she couldn't be more lost. she had the basics - evident in her extensive conversations with jaejin - but she swore she was being made to learn things even natives got lost on.
"break?" jaejin proposes, looking pitifully down at the girl who, upon observing, was blowing the hair in front of her eyes with a frown. she couldn't have been any more eager, popping up from her position to give a smile and yes! as confirmation. call her lazy, but she'd had enough - and wasn't just talking to him practice in itself? in sync, the two pull out their phones, which they'd hesitantly vowed not to use during studying unless needed for the lesson. tingyan immediately jumped to tap instagram, an app she'd grown obsessed with since it'd become readily available in korea. just as she was about to make mention of jaejin not liking her recent photo of them together, his giddy ohs! fill her ears.
"tingyan-noona, oh my gosh! look!" still gasping, the younger slid the phone across the table to her viewpoint. as soon as the familiar naver colors came to view, she shielded her eyes, losing interest immediately. "don't care," she noted nonchalantly, turning her focus to an attractive customer passing the table. sure, she had an interest in korean entertainment - it stemmed from a yearning for something more, something exciting, all the way back in china. she liked the music - but it stopped at that. while she admired many artists, she simply wasn't interested in the drama these types of blogs had to deliver. why should she care who was dating who and what happened where? they were fully functioning adults - and it wasn't her business, anyway.
"no, no, it's not a gossip post! look closer." if it wasn't for the fact that rejecting his proposal would mean a shorter break, she would have dismissed him quicker than she had the first time around.  but tingyan wanted a break, so, giving the most irritated sigh she can muster, brings her face closer to the screen. in bold, almost mocking her distaste for viewing the article, reads -
MNET CONFIRMS FIFTH SEASON OF MGAS
mnet? mga? both names were very familiar to her, her teenage years, as well as her college ones, spent stressing over eliminations and winners of the popular show. nowadays, between work and intense study sessions such as these, tingyan just couldn't find time to do many leisure activities. but why was he so excited?
"yeah, and?" she asked, sneaking a sip of his wine before he could catch her in the act. sure, she was surprised the new season had came around this quick without her noticing, but was it worth him getting so excited? they were in their 5th season now, and every year they had practically become apart of the regular tv routine.
"don't you see?" a frustrated jaejin rushed to retrieve his phone, and only upon looking at the screen did he understand her confusion. "oh! my bad - look!" scrolling down, the final words are revealed -
... AND START OF AUDITION PROCESS.
okay. so maybe she did get a little excited, but she took a sip of the neglected water beside her so he wouldn't see her grin. "no, no," she says firmly, waving the thought away with her hand. "i'm not even going there with you, jaejin." her hands clap together, as if they've smacked away the idea. "come on, let's study." that's a sentence she hadn't expected to say.
"no! i don't want to, you need to see this." how the roles have reversed! adamantly, he brings the device forward, looking so deeply into her eyes that even tingyan can't look away.
"noona. listen to me." the typically meek younger's stern behavior surprised her, and with an eyebrow raised tingyan silently challenges his attitude. "sorry, i mean....noona, please. you - you'e gotta do it, okay? i knw you can! i see you at the studio, you're really good."
"that's not all it takes to become an idol, jaejin!" she argues. "people who join the mjas have lots of talents - not just one. and they're really good at them. look at me. i can barely pass this korean exam! how do you think i'd have a conversation on line tv?"
"i know that! in fact, you probably won't win!" tingyan would be offended, but, taking the reality of the situation she knows her fate well. "it's not about that. it's about gaining experiences! and i know you know korean, for how easily you're yelling at me now." his attitude was still there, but it's a little tamed, learning from his first mistake that giving sass wasn't going to help get his point across.
no words are said by tingyan; her manicured fingertips are too busy tapping on the glass to drown out the words she knows are true but doesn't want to hear.
"....didn't you say you wanted to feel fulfilled? that you wanted to give music a shot and see if it was something you wanted to do? this could be your chance." it was true, she'd confessed that just weeks prior when she'd had a breakdown following poor feedback from her modeling agency. modeling was fun, and for now it made money, but it was one thing to her - a hobby. it didn't leave her with the same lingering excitement a successful day at dance did, something jaejin knew well from her rare bubbliness after walking home from dance class.he knew better than anyone else, so although she's trying to conjure up some possible excuse she knows there's none that will give her a true pass.
"okay. so say i did do this....mga audition thing. what else am i supposed to do? i just dance."
jaejin cheered in victory, knowing this was the closest to a yes as he'd gotten all night. "well..." he didn't even know, evident in the way he puffs his cheeks out, pondering - a quirk linked to jaejin's confusion she'd caught onto long ago. "you can sing good enough! and...what if you do something that's not necessarily performing for your special skill? that's the whole point! you're super tingyan, i know you've got it."
even the iced over woman can't help the smile that reveals itself at the sound of the familiar nickname, eyes furrowing as she genuinely thinks it over. was could it hurt? her job had flexible hours, so she would be able to make it to auditions. she was turning 20 this year, and knew that both the modeling and entertainment industry waited for no one - she'd have to make a choice. sooner or later, time would catch up with her and she'd be forced to give up on her true dream if she didn't live it out now.
but before she makes a real decision, her hand reached to the bottle of wine - just one more sip would help her think clearly. but no, the opportunity was gone before it even truly presents itself, as her younger friend moved the bottle from her grasp.
"i said no! you want alcohol? fine. but you're not getting a drop until you make a decision."
giving the meanest death glare she can muster, the woman crosses her arms, hhoping for a compromise. nothing. when it's clear jaejin's not budging, tingyan cocks her head to the side in agitation.
"fine. i'll do it."
the words are mumbled as grudgingly as possible, but they're there, and before she had time to process her promise, the future auditioner drowns her thoughts with the wine she's quick to grab ahold of.

Stars Rewritten AU
Here we go, headcanons for the Adi-verse where Heodan survives. Everything’s behind the cut, since it won’t let me do one in the middle of bullet points(BOO) and this baby is long.
They’re originally just planning to stick together until they reach Gilded Vale and go their own ways, but with how messed up everything is there, that plan gets scrapped very quickly. It’s sketchy and they don’t know who to trust, so they wind up sticking together “just a little longer”.
Only thing that changes about joining up with Aloth is the fight with the drunks is over faster, and there being three of them means there is bed sharing bc they can’t afford a room with a bed for each of them. Adi and Heodan share bc this is a wish fulfillment au they know each other better.
When the Watcher dream starts, she kicks him in the chest twice and narrowly misses clocking him in the jaw. He, of course, tries to wake her up and can’t. She snaps awake just as he’s really starting to worry and feels v guilty for hurting him(especially since he still has a healing injury from the Cilant Lîs ruins), which he brushes off, promising it’s not that bad.
After Adi “talks” to Caldera and has her advice to head for Caed Nua, she asks Heodan if he wants to come with her(promising not to punch him any more in her sleep, which makes him laugh). He agrees, since he doesn’t have any reason to stick around Gilded Vale--no business prospects, unfriendly neighbors, she’s much better company, take your pick--and Caed Nua sounds like a place where they might find the fresh start they’re looking for.
Of course things don’t turn out all sunshine and roses, bc why should life be easy? After Maerwald’s dead and the Steward declares Adi the Lady of Caed Nua, she offers to let Heodan set up shop at the keep, so he doesn’t have to wander so much. Things need to be fixed up first, obviously, but he’d be safer here and knows the lady in charge.
He accepts. This is promising location, she has a good point about knowing the person in charge(knows she’ll be fair).... It’s actually going to be a pretty advantageous arrangement, once the keep’s fixed up some.
While they’re waiting to get things fixed up, however, he also accepts when she asks if he wants to come to Defiance Bay with her. He doesn’t have anything better to do, and getting an idea of how things stand in the city is a good idea.
That’s how it starts; him going pretty much everywhere with her. It’s not really a conscious choice on either of their parts so much as Adi goes  “Hey, Heodan, wanna come do ____ with me?” and he says “Sure”. They enjoy each other’s company and one more person to watch your back never hurts, and he’d be underfoot for the work crews if he stayed at the keep..... Why would there be any deeper meaning than that?
Before a month is out, it’s just assumed he’s going with her. The threat of bandits and other dangers means security-enhancing repairs come first, so the craft hall’s construction keeps getting bumped. “Heodan, wanna come with me?” has turned into “We’re leaving in the morning” with the unspoken expectation he’s coming. He never corrects her. He likes going along.
It’s around Teir Nowneth/Brackenbury (my usual order is Teir Nowneth -> Brackenbury ->Dyrford, it’s like how I always do the treaties in the same order for DAO) that the two of them start paying above average care to each other in combat, and roughly the first jaunt to Stalwart(2-2.5 months in) that they start prioritizing threats to each other over other opponents. They don’t notice what they’re doing until Edér makes a joke about it. 
Dyrford + associated quests came between the halves of tWM, so there are some latent--if unacknowledged--feelings beyond Adi’s (ever-growing) crush when she slips jumping the gap for the back way into Clîaban Rilag and Heodan wrenches his shoulder really bad catching her so she doesn’t plummet to her death.
He just reacted, and that 18(to 21, depending on resting bonus) dex meant he was fast enough to catch her and he’s glad and he doesn’t care that his shoulder hurts because she’s okay and no, Edér, stop grinning like that, it doesn’t Mean Anything, that’s ridiculous. When Adi tries to apologize, he waves it off as paying her back for helping him that first escape into the ruins after the Glanfathan attack.
Sagani’s the one who does the adventure that rewards with the Lovers’ Light rings, and she kinda tosses them to Adi with a smirk and a “Here Watcher, you can find a use for these, right?” *wink wink nudge nudge* It takes a bit of studying to figure out how they work, but once she does, Adi wears the copper one and gives the silver one to Heodan. She does explain to him that they’re enchanted so the wearers can tell if the other is hurt and give some of their essence by squeezing the jewel to help if they want. She’s mostly thinking so she can help him if--gods forbid--he gets hurt in a fight. He’s more front line than she is, after all. Even if he is usually backstabbing people as opposed to Edér’s facing people head-on. (So I’m basically headcanoning that they work like Vox Machina’s “medic alert” necklaces or whatever they called them that they got after Tary joined, with the option to sacrifice your health to stabilize the other person)
Heodan’s not as adventurous as Adi but keeps tagging along on these trips of hers. “I’d be bored and underfoot back at the keep with nothing to do” is his explanation. “Once there’s a building for my shop and I have that to stock and take care of, then you’ll lose me.” (it’s almost a running joke between them by this point--how one or the other keeps finding excuses to prolong his adventuring. Neither really dwells on why they keep doing that.)
She actually ‘loses’ him sooner than that. On the way back from Dyrford Adi decides to (finally) investigate Fyrga’s vision, figuring she can then report back to Fyrga and Lady Webb in one trip. Whatever she was thinking this vision implied, a temperamental, possessive dragon is so not what she was expecting to find.
Despite Adi’s best efforts to defuse the situation and just walk away, the dragon’s not having it and attacks them. They’re actually doing pretty well handling the dragon and its xaurip underlings(first time I’ve ever been over-leveled for that fight lol), but the last remaining xaurip gets in a really good hit on Adi before she kills it via grimoire slam. Thanks to both her cry of pain and how much damage she’s doing, the dragon zeroes in on her.
She has pretty good reflexes, but you can’t dodge and cast at the same time, and ofc she has blood from the xaurip’s parting blow running down her arm, so it’s only a matter of time before it catches her. (She’s largely worried that catching her will also catch Aloth, since they’re both hanging back in roughly the same area, and she really doesn’t want one of her friends getting hurt bc of proximity to her)
Between seeing her predicament and feeling through the ring how badly she’s hurt, Heodan takes a pair of very big risks right together: squeezes the jewel in his ring to heal Adi(he’s standing closer to the paladin, besides, with an enemy that can fly, best to keep those who do ranged damage in good shape, right?) and rakes his stiletto along as much of the dragon’s tail and leg as he can reach, hoping to distract it.
Both of these work a little too well; leaving him hurt and dazed when the dragon wheels around and takes a swipe at him. He doesn’t move fast enough to dodge completely, and the dragon’s claws catch his shoulder and the side of his neck and rake in almost to the center of his chest (how the claws didn’t catch an artery and just kill him outright is a miracle straight from the gods and me *cough*).
Now truly freaked out as she watches him just crumple, bc she knows what he did, Adi pops off a Call to Slumber spell(since Unconscious is not one of Cail’s resistances, suck it, loser). This gives them a serious edge bc now the dragon is unconscious and on the ground where everyone can reach. They finish it off rather quickly(Pallegina gets the killing blow), and then can worry about the unconscious and badly bleeding rogue.
Adi tries to help by squeezing the jewel in her ring right back, but apparently the enchantment needs time to “recharge” between activations and it doesn’t do anything. So they have to patch Heodan up through conventional methods as best they can and Adi decides they should take him to Caed Nua since she has a couple very skilled healers on staff in case any of the workmen get hurt while making repairs. Pallegina cautions that between the extent of his injuries and the... mediocre at best healing skills among their group, he might not even make it that far.
Cue Adi being worried sick and checking on him every half hour max the entire day-ish it takes to reach Caed Nua. She doesn’t sleep the night they have to make camp, instead sitting up and watching Heodan breathe to make sure he keeps doing it. Every so often she squeezes the jewel in her ring, but it never does anything(she starts wondering how long the damn thing needs to recharge[answer: a day, because if I’m giving her a hella powerful magical artifact, there has to be some kind of catch to it]). 
Despite Pallegina’s concerns, Heodan does hang on long enough to get him to the more skillful healers at Caed Nua. (In a twist of something like irony, the work crews were just getting ready to start building the craft hall) Adi hangs around anxiously in the corner while the healers get him properly patched up. They’re honest with her--he’s not in good shape (aside from the shredding damage and blood loss from the dragon’s claws, the initial blow broke his collarbone and a couple ribs), it could go either way, they can’t make any promises.
Between worrying so much she can barely breathe and feeling guilty he got hurt protecting her, Adi wants to stay at Caed Nua until she knows Heodan is out of the woods. But it’s not to be.The second night at Caed Nua, sleeping on the floor of his room(basically passed out from exhaustion; she hasn’t slept since the dragon fight), she dreams about the Eyeless.
This is clearly a major and pressing threat. So, reluctant as she is to leave with Heodan in such bad shape, she gives her friends another couple days to rest and get together supplies they’ll need before they head out.
She’s personally hoping that Heodan will at least wake up--even if just for a few seconds--in the interim, but it’s not to be. So she makes the healers swear to send word if there are any major changes, good or bad, before setting off back to Stalwart.
Adi and Co spend the next two weeks running all over the White March dealing with first some smaller scale problems--like the Battery cannons--then the Iron Flail, and then the Eyeless. No news comes Caed Nua the entire time. Not sure if this is good or bad, she books it back home after finishing in Stalwart.
Heodan’s actually awake when they get there, has been for about a week. The healers wrote her but something must have happened to the letter bc she never got it.
Adi gives him the most enthusiastic hug she dares considering, y’know, broken collarbone and all. She’s relieved beyond words that he pulled through.  She decides to hang around the keep for a couple weeks, surprising absolutely no one, spend some time with him until she’s 100% sure he’s out of the woods. Once the craft hall is finished, she helps with getting that all stocked and ready for when Heodan’s recovered enough to start running it.
Finally, though, she has to go back to work. Starts with Kana’s quest and probably the Battle of Yenwood, maybe Raedric round 2, then it’s just hunting down bounties,short trips that give her an excuse to come back and make sure he’s still alright. (By this point, Edér and Sagani have money on which will come first; Adi confessing her feelings or Heodan figuring them out bc the girl is not as subtle as she thinks she is) But Adi definitely knows the Leaden Key are up to something sketchy by now, and she can’t leave things alone forever. So she heads for Defiance Bay to tell Lady Webb what she found in Clîaban Rilag. While she’s there, she hears a rumor about a group of bandits planning to attack Caed Nua, so puts the animancy hearing on hold to go back and deal with that. The fight is actually rather grueling--this group was better prepared than she expected--so they take a couple days to rest before heading back to the city. (This is where Let It Snow would fit)
Between nerve damage and the way his collarbone heals, Heodan’s arm doesn’t “heal” all the way; stays kind of stiff, which puts an end to his adventuring. He’s no good in a fight anymore, and with the craft hall done, it’s better he focus on that anyway. Being a merchant is what he came to the Dyrwood for in the first place, after all. He’s happy for Adi(and her friends) to be his primary customer(s), but this is for the best.
Adi drops in to say hi every time she’s back at Caed Nua, without fail. This starts during the end of the bounty hunting spree that he’s recovered enough she’s visiting him in His Shop rather than the infirmary, and after  that it’s always the first place she goes when they come back. Still doesn’t say anything about her feelings. Life is too crazy right now, she doesn’t feel like it would be fair to him. (also, there’s a small part of her that’s afraid of losing their friendship, him being the oasis of normal in the craziness of her life.And, look, either way things are going to change, whether he likes her or not. It would just be different kinds of awkward and she doesn’t need that in her life right now)
She finally caves, though, after the animancy hearings and the riots. She stops by the keep “To tell the Steward what happened before rumor get there” (Sure, Adi. The Steward’s the one whose emotions you’re worried about). She’s never quite sure why, later; maybe it’s just finally hit the breaking point of being too much to keep secret, maybe she was inspired by Aloth’s confession to be more honest, who knows? Whatever the reason, she feels compelled to tell Heodan before she follows Thaos to Twin Elms. Just completely spills her guts.
Turns out he knew, or at least suspected, months ago. Adi is a very heart on her sleeve, unsubtle person, it didn’t take a genius to figure out. Especially not with all that time Heodan had while he was recovering where all he could do was lay in bed and think. He didn’t say anything because he figured she had her reasons for keeping quiet and would tell him when she was ready. Also, the longer it took, the more he started to wonder if he’d read things wrong, which was another reason to keep his mouth shut; he didn’t want to make things awkward because he also valued her friendship.
But, you know, he does like her back. She’s kind and passionate and curious and a whole laundry list of other admirable qualities. This prompts Adi to reel off part of the list of reasons she likes him, and they agree to talk more after she gets back from stopping Thaos. There’s a goodbye kiss and then she’s off to save the world.
She’s uncharacteristically impatient to get through Twin Elms, a place she would normally want to spend hours exploring and talking to people and learning all they’re willing to share. Between her rush and her even better than usual mood, Kana actually asks her what’s going on when they settle in for the night at the Celestial Sapling. She’s only too happy to spill the beans. The Watcher dreams are really bad that night, she hardly gets any sleep, but she’s still in a relatively good mood come morning
Is actually really shaken by the revelation her Awakening is permanent. She puts on a brave face talking to Aloth about it, but she was really, really hoping there was a way to reverse this, whether convincing Thaos to undo it or some Engwithan ritual or whatever. Part of her wonders if it’s smart to stat a romantic relationship with someone knowing this is permanent. She saw what happened to Maerwald; she’s uncomfortable with the chance of making someone who loves her watch that happen to her. (When she admits that to Kana, he points out Maerwald had multiple personalities Awakened, some in direct conflict with each other, she only has one)
They win, they go home(Adi kept her promise to Galawain), Heodan is very relieved to see her. They’d been hearing rumors she’d as good as died and other things to that effect. There’s a very long hug involved, which only ends bc he’s kneeling on stone floor and that’s not very comfortable. :P Rather than join the rest of her friends and Caed Nua’s staff in celebrating her success, the two of them find somewhere quiet they can talk about Them.
There are, of course, concerns; her Watcher-ness and Awakened soul are the first ones Adi brings up, but there’s also difference in social standing, lifespan disparity between folk and orlans, the prejudice they’ll deal with given that it’s not just a mixed relationship but she’s an orlan. In the Dyrwood. Edér might be terribly bad, but, y’know, she’s been called ‘cat-fucker’ enough times she wants Heodan prepared if he really want this, wants her.
(he does)
In the end, they acknowledge there will be challenges, but decide they can handle anything together. They’ve always made a good team, if it took a dragon to change their dynamic before, what chance does petty gossip and name calling have?
They share a kiss--a good kiss--with the sunset, enjoy their moment of peace and quiet by cuddling and looking at the stars etc etc happy ending there ya go. ;)
The Deadfire headcanons will be a separate post bc boy HOWDY did this wind up longer than I expected.

Going Through Changes
Tony had gotten Evelyn set up in one of the bedrooms, asked Jarvis to get her sizes to have clothes sent for her, and soon after brought her a cell phone he’d have in service later in the day.  She had insisted that it was too much, and if this really was an alternate universe, there was no telling when she might disappear back to her own reality, so he shouldn’t be wasting resources on her.  To which Tony had replied: but if it’s all a dream, you’ll want clean clothes and communication.
She couldn’t argue with that, of course.
She laid back on the bed, intending to rest her still aching body and think her situation over more while she waited for clothes to be delivered, but fell asleep soon after she closed her eyes.  It was an hour or so later when she awoke to find shopping bags at the foot of her bed.  Picking items out of a bag one by one and holding them up, she was quickly wondering if Jarvis couldn’t see properly.  Nothing in any of the bags looked like it would fit.
“Um, Jarvis?”
“Yes, Miss Abel?”
“I think these might be the wrong size.”
“I can assure you, I scanned your measurements perfectly.  Perhaps you should try something on.”
“Oh, ok.”  She was looking around the ceiling for a camera, or somewhere to make eye contact with the disembodied AI.  “Thank you.”
“You’re most welcome, Miss Abel.”
Not wanting to try new clothes on after jumping through space and time (apparently), lying on a floor, and sleeping on a couch, she grabbed an outfit and went to the bathroom to shower.  As she took her top off, she saw her reflection in the large mirror over the sink.  Her body did not look the way she remembered.
Her hands roamed over her newly flat stomach, gracefully rippled with toned abdominal muscles.  How had she not noticed?  Yes, her mind had been overwhelmed, trying to process her predicament, but her body was almost completely unfamiliar.  How had she not noticed?!
She examined her arms, turning them this way and that, grabbing at where she previously had soft, extra cushioning at the back of her upper arms.  What the hell?  They were firm and toned.  She pulled her pants off.  Her legs were the same: firm and toned.  Her thighs were still thick, but with considerably less fluff; she could see the hard muscles beneath her skin.  She turned half-way to examine her hips and rear.  Her hips were still wide, but not as likely to be knocking things off tables as they had been.  And her butt was firm and round, not just plump.
Then she leaned in close to the mirror, studying her face.  She looked years younger, her skin softer, her laugh lines barely visible.  She bared her teeth.  What.  The.  Hell?  Perfectly straight, perfectly white, perfectly perfect teeth sparkled back at her.  It was as though she’d been optimized, all her physical features buffed over with a Hollywood photoshop brush.  Yikes.
It was perhaps the longest shower Evelyn had ever taken.  She slowly washed her body, one part at a time, becoming familiar with the new skin she was in.  The changes weren’t huge, but they were measurable.  She wondered for how long, and how intensely, she would have had to workout to see results like this normally.  After drying off, she got dressed in the clothes Jarvis had correctly ordered.
Fortunately, Tony had given her a bedroom not far from the areas she’d most often need.  She made her way slowly to the kitchen, focusing on her body, noticing subtle differences.  Her thighs rubbed together less as she walked, her elbows no longer brushed against her middle as her arms swung lightly with her steps, and the only things she thought jiggled were her breasts.
She rounded the corner to the kitchen, stopping short with a soft, “Oh!” when she saw someone else in the room.
Steve Rogers stood at the stove with his back to her, but turned to greet her with a smile when he heard her expression.  “Well, hey there.  Feeling hungry?”
“Hey,” she smiled.  “Feeling like I can’t remember the last time I ate a full meal.”  This wasn’t an exaggeration, she thought, since she really couldn’t remember.
“Have a seat, I’ll fix you a plate when it’s done.”
She took a seat at the island counter.
“Thanks, Steve.  Oh!  I mean, Captain?  Captain Steve?  Mr. Rogers?  Mr. Captain Rogers?”  Oh, yikes, she was spiraling.
He turned, laughing as he dished scrambled eggs onto plates.  “Steve is just fine, Evelyn.”
“Ok, thanks… Steve.  And you can just call me Ev.  Don’t need to put in the extra effort for all those syllables.”
“It’s a beautiful name,” he said as he passed her a plate.  “I don’t mind putting in the work for it.”
Her cheeks were on fire, no doubt about it.  Captain America just gave her a compliment and she was sure she would melt where she sat.
“Um, thank you.”  How was she going to eat with the goofy grin that was plastered on her face?
Steve leaned over the counter across from her, eating from his large plate of eggs.  He looked up at her between bites.  “So, Tony says you’re from the future?”
COUGH
“What?” she managed to cough out.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to catch you off guard.  It’s just… the future, huh?”
“Yeah… uh…”  She regained her composure.  “Yes.  Something like that?”
“That’s gotta be a little easier than being from the past.”
“Well,” she looked down and shrugged.  “Maybe.  Too soon to tell.”
They ate in silence.  She knew he hadn’t meant to make things awkward, he was just trying to make conversation, and maybe meet on some kind of common ground, but… yikes.  She took a deep breath, readying herself.  It felt like she’d just had the Prove Yourself meeting with Tony moments ago.  She’d have to have this conversation with Steve eventually, might as well have it now.
“I’m… I’m not from just any future.  It’s a future where I’ve seen the lives of the Avengers unfold in the movies.”
He pulled himself up off the counter and folded his arms across his chest, eyebrows knitted together.  “You’ve seen us in the pictures?”
“Yeah… So, I know some things that I probably shouldn’t.”
“Alright…”  He studied her face intently, then relaxed his posture and nodded his head.  “Alright.”
“Tha-that’s it?  You just, believe me?”
“Is there any reason I shouldn’t?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Well, no, but, I haven’t given you any reason to believe me yet.”
“You have Tony convinced,” he smiled.  “And if the look on his face was any indication… Well.  I don’t need a retelling of my past, and I’m not too sure I want to hear about my future.”  He leaned on the island counter again, smiling at her.  “No offense, of course.  If I ever want to hear either, I’d be happy to hear it from you.”
How could anyone stand to be in the same room with him for more than ten minutes without swooning?  He was sweet as sugar with a smile that could knock her off her feet.  And so far, he’d left her a stuttering mess each time they’d talked.
“O-of-of course,” she hoped the smile she was flashing wasn’t too awkward.  “You know where to find me.  If you ever do.  Want to hear… Anything.”  Having a favorite Avenger was quickly becoming an embarrassing disadvantage in this universe.
“Sure thing,” his smile widened.  She couldn’t be sure if it was genuine or because he was amused by her blithering.  “I need to head out, I had a full day already planned before you dropped in,” he said, still smiling, standing straight, and stretching.  “But it was good to get a chance to talk with you more.”
“You, too!  And, thanks for breakfast.”
“No problem,” he waved, making to leave the kitchen, then stopped in the doorway.  “Oh, Clint and Natasha will probably be by later.  Just a heads up so you’re not shocked into expletives when you see them.”  He waved again, and chuckled as he left, leaving her to find her voice again.

Hello Mädch ahsdjaksdh <3 !!
how is college going? dw, I hope you are settling in super well and feeling optimistic about school and all the amazing things I know you are going to achieve this year! I am excited that you are starting your rotations now! you are going to do awesome, I know it! I'm sorry that you didn't get that ICU first like you wanted but hopefully it's all part of the plan so that you get it at the right time for you <3 let me know how they go, of course. I hope they go super well.
the week has been a bit weird to be honest, in my team I had a semi argument that was properly tense for the first time with someone and it was just so unpleasant. you know those people where they aren't horrible but you know that you'll never completely see eye to eye with them? i think it's just one of those things, where we'll never just completely read each other or get each other? and it's not, like, a massive issue or anything that we can't deal with, but I feel like usually I get on really well with people or not at all (all or nothing person I guess haha) but with this person I've just got to admit that we're always going to be a bit in the middle? like, we talked it over, and I've still found sometimes we misunderstand one another? so things are still good in work and clients, but with workpeople it has been the more difficult battle? hopefully we should get some more cool media stuff with the K-pop people soon, so that's an up?
OMGsh your coworkers are so much older than you! [lease do post a picture of your room, I am 100% confident that you have made it so dreamy and pretty. Thank you sm for telling me more about these operations though! I feel like everywhere is on red alert at the moment when it comes to health and care and making sure that people look after themselves and not put others at risk, you know? the doctors that to talk to me about my potential surgeries too have said the same but it's nice hearing it from a friend, you know? so thank youuuu <3 <3
I was the same as you, I would get so so so anxious and stressed if I wasn't studying or working or anything like that? but my mum is like your mum and grandma, where she gets up early too! but I feel like I need to do the late night thing instead? but then once I got into this crazy spiral where I would wake up really early and go to bed really late and like nap in between so I ended up like having two hours of sleep either side? that was peak wth at the time haha XD so now I try and let myself wake up a bit later really XD ha ha I'm in barely adulting! like I work so much but I don't earn a lot ha ha – I don't think that's very effective adulting? or like, I don't know I guess for a lot of people my age there's a work hard and hope it pays off thing in certain industries? so you're definitely more effectively adulting than me right now! like, you're going to do stuff that's gonna actively help people and you'll see that right in front of you, you know!!? sometimes my work gets out there but I rarely see directly if it gets to make peoples lives better you know? so the path you're on is so so admirable <3 <3 <3
I get you though, do you find that you thrive under the pressure even though it's sometimes a lot? I find that sometimes it does help me, but sometimes I forget to identify the times when it isn't helping me? or, sometimes I take it too far? so please look out for yourself and take care of yourself <3 and when you're worried if you're on the edge know that it's enough for you to take a rest and not be super perfect. i sometimes tell myself to except that I'm probably gonna make two or three stupid mistakes a day? It sounds kind of silly but it means that it makes it easier for me to accept when I mess up, idk, I think it helps me balance the pressure sometimes? i 100% understand what you're saying - at school do they have people that can directly help? or like peer supporters so it's not as stressful or official feeling as a therapist? if you ever want me to come off anon to help lemme know <3 i'm always here for you <3
oh my gosh your grandparents have been able to live long too! all my grandparents lived close to 100 before passing, and one of my grandmothers had the same as your grandfather. he sounds so sweet and so kind though! i love that he knows how to FaceTime you! Some of my aunts and uncles still don't properly haha. it sounds like he knows that he's super loved though, he's very lucky <3 <3 i've been thinking about all this really lovely stuff and how it grounds you when stuff like careers can stress you out and feel like the most important thing when it shouldn't be? what are the personality differences between the different areas of the US? my East Coast friends seem to straight talk a lot more than my West Coast friends? like they're a lot more realistic as opposed to being, I don't know laid-back or if not laid-back sometimes just more comfortable with superficial stuff? Not like my West Coast friends are superficial people, but I think they accept it as part of the world a bit better? my friends on the east coast will rail against that stuff a lot more, like they buy into the influencer bullshit less? but I guess these are all sweeping generalisations anyway... I might have to travel a bit in europe soon... I got asked to go to otaly for some work today, and to holland next month. Idk if it will end up happening though, things change all the time? I have to keep checking quarantine rules all the time with countries! but YAY and YES Europe tour trip one day :D !!!!!!!
you know what? when I first saw you compare bowling and golf I was like, wait, what? but now I totally get it! i know a golfer and they talk about how physical and strenuous it is on the arms and stuff all the time which I don't think always comes across when you watch it and it makes a lot of sense with how you describe how you trained for bowling! i used to cox in rowing and I always used to find it really funny that I said that was the sport I did because honestly I just sat in the boat all the time and steered XD
obligatory YES WTF ARE COTTON SCENTS! quite a few shops in the city where I live have been closing down because of Covid but our Jo Malone is still going strong! I love that lots of already classic clothing shops have now gone out of business but for some reason the people where I live cannot live without their perfume XD I think I'm gonna go in later this week or next week to take a look! with all this travelling I kind of want to buy something new? also, my hands have been acting up with injury so I have to rest my hands more anyway – so might as well look for perfume right? do you have any recommendations or would the blueberry one you've just gotten be at the top of your list?
the exciting thing is that I'm doing a bit less this week! I need to wait and see if that job wants me to fly out to Italy within the next 48 hours, if not next week, but if not I think I'm gonna figure out how to rehabilitate my joints a bit and get my brain okay? It's been existential Covid crisis week haha - I think a lot of me and my friends have been feeling like we've lost so much of our lives and potential during this time and I've really tried to hold in and ignore it for the past 18 months? i'm not one to ever feel lonely or to really really want to be in a relationship like some of my friends, but I've just been feeling it this week? like, I love my independence, but I wouldn't say no to a boyfriend right now you know? I feel silly saying that sometimes because I'm so against feeling like you have to have someone in your life to be okay, but I guess that's just a result of how the world is has been recently?? but I think all my feelings exploded around this stuff now so, I am trying to get back into a better place? so it's not as exciting as some of the stuff I've told you about before, but it's what's up I guess?
how are your mum and grandmother doing? are they doing good? [lease send all my love to them too. I'm glad these help you reflect on your week! they do with me too and I'm always happy to hear from you, no matter how long you might need <3 <3 hope you manage to reward yourself for working so hard these past days and that you remember you're always doing 110% so you deserve the best!
love you lots and lots - 💥
ANGEL HELLO !!!!!!!!! i told myself i would stay on top of this and swear in a timely manner but ;_____; a full week + 2 clinical rotations later here i am on a sunday, it seems this is always the case :( maybe my get back to you day will only be on sundays LOL i will try my best in the future babe, but ofc thank you so much for being patient with me <3
uni is going fine so far hun !!!! i've started clinical rotations as i've said on thursday and friday, and then my first exam is on tuesday so i read some chapters yesterday so i'm not squished for time lol :) and ,,,, what you said "hope it's all part of the plan" is very much my way of thinking lol wha is your sign? i'm a sagittarius and that's like, a philosophy i go by like everything is how it's supposed to be even if it's not what u want like everything will work itself out :') i'm wondering if we are one in the same !!!!! <3
and omg ;_____; conflict within the workplace is NEVER easy bc all everyone wants is to reach the goal you all are reaching and bc there's some bumps in the road it makes everything that much more stressful :( and i know exactly the type of person you are talking about LOL i've had to work with some of my peers in the hospital who really didn't treat me all that nicely , but i still have to partner up with them anyways bc we had to move a patient lol ; like they never do anything terrible to you but you just cannot come to a proper agreement with them? i know the feeling :( but i can tell you are doing ur absolute best ;_____; it's a tough situation ,,,,,,,,, but may i propose something ??? maybe since things are high stress in the workplace, would u be willing to meet them outside the workplace, like a quick coffee meet up and then discuss those issues? maybe talking about it in the work environment is way too stressful for both of u and it is hard to come to an agreement, but maybe in a calmer, more informal setting do u think maybe the both of u could be like "hey, what u were talking about i'm not really head over heels for but this is what i think and do u think we can do something where both of us will be happy?" im thinking maybe will opening up a means for more civilized discussion?? just a thought LOL :') let me know how it goes :( i hope u are all able to figure everything out !!!!!
about the surgeries !!!!! like i said i know it's super stressful to think about bc this is one of the very few times in life where things are absolutely out of our control and that scares us, and we as medical providers aren't supposed to give u a false sense of security, but i promise u everything will be just fine as long as u correctly follow up with care post-op :) we wouldn't want an infection !!!! >;( i remember last year i had a patient and she was going in for a routine colonoscopy and she was scared shitless ,,,,,,, but i was like "listen ma'am i know it can seem scary but i was just in there with the doctors and everything is super relaxed and they know what they're doing in there, you'll be out in no time and i'll be here waiting !!" and that seemed to help her a lot, after the surgery she was on me like flies on shit LOL she was like "THANK U HONEY" (but i think most of it was bc she was still drugged up hhh)
LOL us with our family members waking up early <3 literally this morning i decided to do my laundry at 8am (its only 10 right right now lol) but idk it just make u feel a little bit better doesn't it? but oh my gosh no i don't see u in this way at all ;_____; babe like you're already THERE in the world working and to me like ,,,,,, being an effective functioning person in society is like all i ever want i just want to be COMPETENT and the fact that u manage ppl ???? it's already a lot of responsibility but you do it everyday like you go to work u make food for yourself u pay bills like yes this all kinda sucks but you're there doing it and idk ,,,,,,,, like u being in this position is like yeah their surviving in the world and doing okay !!!! so that’s how i see u hun ;_____;
and i don’t think i necessarily thrive under pressure but i just kinda ,,,,,,, handle it?? like i think i handle my stress quite well !!! i think the reason why making mistakes scares me so much in my field is bc if i make a mistake i can like, kill someone or seriously harm them if i do something wrong SLKDFJ but i have to remember i’m still just a student and a lot of the things that i’ll learn won’t even be in these last few months of nursing school, but rather during my months of orientation on the floor i’ll be working on when i finally land a job ,,,,,, i know i just have to be patient and kind to myself, but it’s hard not having these high expectations for myself bc everyone else pushes themselves super hard (nurses i mean) so i feel like i should be too , ya know? ;_____; it’s a hard balance that i’ve yet to find but hopefully once i graduate i’ll have just a little bit more confidence in myself :’)
and omg your grandparents lived a long life as well !!!!!!!! a lot of my friends’ grandparents are really young still, so it’s hard for others to relate i think LOL but :(((( i’m really lucky to have them around still and like, i feel like my grandparents are the cornerstone of our whole entire family; once they pass i’m not quite sure what will happen ;_____; so i’m just trying to cherish every moment that i have with them even tho sometimes it’s stressful lol ; also BOUT THE DIFFERENCES FROM EAST TO WEST COAST LOL ; i think u described it really well actually :) like among the friends u have the are from different parts of the states, it’s very accurate in my opinion !! and again after all it is just a very broad assumption, in general east coasters have this “workaholic” attitude, they tend to be very realistic which i actually appreciate a lot lol, i’m hoping to live near the east coast when i move out <3 now where i am from it is considered the midwest even tho it’s more east than west if u look at it on the map LMAO and like, it’s really funny bc if u say to someone you’re from the midwest they’ll tell u our reputation is being “too nice” LSKDLFJSKLD and like that’s our thing, a happy medium between coasts with big cities but small towns too and generally just very chill and nice ,,,,,,,, the south of the US is also known for having that “southern hospitality” overall very cheerful ppl with personality and super kind attitude on life :) now the west of the US i’m not saying there aren’t nice ppl out there bc there are LOL but esp near lost angeles or hollywood ofc you’re going to have ppl very stuck up bc ya know they made it to big bad LA and they want to be trendy with all of the fake health shit (celery juice does NOTHING FOR U sorry lol) generally my view of the west is just very fake and i would never want to have my family grow up there LMAO but that generally like, california and washington but like, utah or wyoming or colorado are just absolutely gorgeous and they have small town ppl there bc there are a lot of ranches there ,,,,,,,, does any of this make sense to u ??? KLASFJ 
i’m going to skip a few paragraphs bc this is so long already LMAO but trust me i’ve read everything so far lol ; it seems like you’re doing a lot of traveling !!!!!! <3 i’m so jealous !!!!!!!! italy sounds so beautiful i would love love to go some day :( ALSO U SMELLED THE BLUEBELL PERFUME RIGHT ???? U LIKED IT ?????? doesn’t it smell absolutely divine??? no matter how many scents i smelled after that i knew it was the right one for me ldkfsdlkfj <3 i’m still so in love with it ;____; also about ur lil rant about feeling lonesome :( bub i can really relate to this and i feel the same way like my mom and the rest of my family never pushed me to meet anyone and i’ve always never had a problem making friends, but like, as i’m older and i realize i’ll be alone a lot more of my time once i graduate like i really do want to share my life with someone :( i have a lot of love and i want to be able to show it to someone i care about a lot but i just never really take the initiative to do that bc quite honestly i’m not confident in myself lMAO so ,,,,,,, i know we never feel like we need to be dependent on someone but sharing experiences with someone who feels very strongly for u seems nice, doesn’t it? i wish this for both of us really soon okay?? <3 i tell my friends i would LOVE to be engaged right now lskdjfslfjs :’)
but anyways !!!!!!!! my mom and the rest of my family is doing well <3 and i’m doing okay too !!!!!! i don’t want to bore u with how clinicals are going but if u want me to tell u just let me know LOL and angel i know i say it all the time but always thank u so much for being patient with me okay? u are the absolute best !!!!!! also as promised, here are a few pics of my dorm room LOL it’s a shoebox but it’s my shoebox :) enjoy !!!!!!

badboy!yuto
Tumblr media
adachi yuto, japanese exchange student and baseball player extraordinaire
his pitch is insane,,, latest record was 89.5 mph but he might’ve upped it (he did and he’s still aiming to surpass the best recorded speed of 105.1) since the school’s newspaper last interviewed him,,, nervously
he may be a well-known around school for being one of the top-ranking baseball players but he’s actually really intimidating 
equipped with a brooding look and an almost always resting bitch face a lot of people find him,,,, hard to approach and he likes that
being in a new country is tough - getting to know the language and the customs is like being a little kid in elementary school and it’s because of this very reason that he really hates people trying to belittle him or look down on him
it certainly doesn’t help that just by going there has made other people treat him like an actual child but if there’s yet another thing about yuto then it’s the fact that he has this need to prove others wrong about him
there was a kid in like fifth grade who totally ragged on him,, really made yuto feel like he wouldn’t amount to anything especially in baseball and ok sure he was a pretty scrawny kid at the time, a bit of a late bloomer in the puberty department but y’know everyone matures at their own pace physically and mentally
and anyway, it’s this very kid that has just driven yuto to do the very best that he can even if that means overworking himself and only really putting baseball first
because of that, his grades are pretty mediocre which is funny because he just about calculates and figure just how much he can get away with slacking over just to do the bare minimum
it works though,,, his teachers can’t complain since he is putting in effort and his coaches don’t mind so long as he’s getting the required gpa and coming to practice (which he does almost religiously)
and it’s just really remarkable that this sole drive just to prove someone wrong and get back at them for really doubting him drives him that much
his life has always been shrouded in doubt and insecurity and lots of belittlement and out of everything,,, baseball has always offered some kind of comfort to him
he’ll just stand on that field, whether it’s turf or actual grass, and finds peace in all the screaming because the moment he takes his pitcher’s stance it’s like there’s this silence and everything goes still even during his wind-up and suddenly all this power is thrown into a measly pitch and it has people roaring over him
they didn’t care if he was too foreign or too scrawny or too whatever, they were there and they appreciated his skill and i think that’s all he’s ever really wanted as he grew up into the man he is now
instead of sticking to japan, he decided to take up a full-ride scholarship to south korea and when they announced that at the sports banquet he couldn’t help but feel this swell of pride even if that one kid couldn’t see it happen
it’s a rare sight but it made him smile that day because for once he was acknowledged y’know?
anyway, coming to south korea was almost a culture shock (not by a grand scale but enough that it threw him off balance for a while)
it brought on a dry spell for him because he didn’t have friends or anyone to really be there for him to lean on because he was literally alone and not even with someone he could properly communicate with
it was frustrating on the largest scale and it made him feel even more hesitant and angry to deal with anyone other than his roommate, wooseok, who (bless his soul) is a sweetheart and always invites him to hang or play videogames,,,, sometimes he humors the giant
it took time for yuto to get acquainted with the other eight boys in wooseok’s friend circle but it worked out in weird ways
although yuto can’t exactly socialize in a huge gathering, he would spend one on one time with each of them and found comfortable niches with each so he does have a soft spot somewhere behind all his hostility
he won’t admit it a lot either but he’s more of a shower than a teller
but ok, anyway, even tho his first half of the year in south korea has been a huge struggle, he’s used it to push himself athletically and that’s why he’s getting noticed a lot more by others
they’re still intimidated as ever and rumors come flying in all directions about him killing someone with his pitch and none of the students in the journalism club want to interview him for the paper lmao
there was one brave soul but he’s still pretty,,, shaken from yuto’s rbf and you were actually out in this really cool study abroad in japan about tech culture and reported your findings and,,,,
basically you’re literally the only one who hasn’t heard of yuto aka the hardest person to interview on the baseball team so when you heard about a job that no one was willing to take because it was too scary you were just like “LMAO LEMME AT IT”
that and because he piqued your interest
to say the least, you’re pretty made to be in journalism because you refuse to half-ass anything you do and if they want to do a piece on understanding adachi yuto, literally the hottest rising star on the uni’s baseball team, then dammit you’re gonna do it
so, that’s exactly what you do
you go and hunt him down and approach his coach about interviewing him whenever there’s free time because you’re respectful like that y’know and when the older man grins at you and gives you the ok, you approach him on the bench and kindly talk to him about doing an interview
that alone throws him off because 1) you’re not scared of him??? usually just approaching him is nerve wracking for everyone and anyone but here you are just sauntering over like it’s nobody’s business
he just acts like it’s nothing though, coolly saying, “yeah sure whatever - we can do it right now”
“now?” you ask this with some confusion since you usually have some pretty long, extensive interviews just to get a good piece out because that’s how you are - you’re thorough
not many people in the club agree with you since it’s almost like a waste of time to them but neither you nor do the editor care very much because you put out really good stuff
even some of the stuff you wrote in high school are still circulating around as examples of what one should do and your methods too
 you’re not very black and white, you like grey areas and understanding concepts and people especially when they’re misunderstood and yuto is definitely no exception to that
so when he nods and simply says, “i know this won’t take long anyway, so why not right? we shouldn’t waste either of our time”
of course this throws you off,,, but you just nod and start off with some simple questions (to you) like what made him pursue baseball, how much he practices, what are some of his lucky items and pregame ritual habits, and like what are his goals as a player
like i said you’re thorough and even though you said these were simple, yuto was expecting things like “what’s your favorite part of playing baseball?” (pitching, duh) & “is mlb your goal for the future?” they’re pretty basic - during that first interview, he got even simpler things like what was his favorite color and what was his favorite base, and it made him hate that interview,,, significantly
the only redeeming factor of it was how cool they made him sound with his pitching speed record and that’s of course something he prides himself in but it felt so superficial and off,,, he didn’t like it
he didn’t quite feel belittled or anything but it made him disappointed that despite all his hard work,,, no one really cared enough to get to know him ya feel?
it’s silly but part of him working so hard is also for attention and that validation that he never vocally desires
so for you,,, to actually ask him things outside of his pitching speed record and what he plans outside of school and all that,,, is kinda nice
you can tell by the way he loosens up just a tad that he just has really high defenses and it makes you wonder why,, ,like by journalist instincts but genuine curiosity
and you get your answers (”this kid in school,” “four hours minimum a day,” “this keychain my mom gave me” (it’s this little pochacco bc she was like 99.9% certain that he would go into soccer LOL) and “chew hubba bubba gum - the kinda from the roll or it’s a no go, must wear something red SOMEWHERE, and the keychain has to be nearby”, and “surpass 105.1″) not that you’re in any rush because you really do like to get to know the people you’re interviewing
you’re the sort of person that believes in building connections with others - it’s really how one gets a good article and how to thrive in life like although you don’t talk to everyone you know / met on a daily basis you’d like to think that as long as those relationships weren’t superficial during that time you spent with them then it’s worthwhile
so you find all his answers really endearing and kind of cute even though it’s this stoic dude answering all your questions like he has other things to do and ofc you’re not even offended in the slightest because you understand that people get stiff over these things and it feels like people just haven’t been answering him the right questions anyway
but you being you, asks him the one questions he’s actually hoped to hear: “why 105.1?” 
he grins at you, like a genuine one that actually blows you away because his cheekbones are so gloriously prominent and light is just shining in his eyes and honestly if you were a photographer you would’ve really liked to capture this moment but before he can answer his coach is calling him onto the field and he turns to you almost apologetically
but you wave him off with a grin: “guess this means we gotta continue this interview right?” 
a flash of relief washes over his features before he gives you a brief nod, “guess so” 
you have your tape recorder still going, an heirloom of your mom’s because she loved journalism just as much as you do before she had you and in a way you’re fulfilling this dream for the both of you, and instruct him to recite his number for you
he looks a little exasperated but he does it and grumbles a farewell before jogging back onto the field and you go back to your dorm to listen through the interview, wanting to be thorough, and when you get to the part where he recites his number you jot that down with a wide grin
because deep down you really do think yuto is great - you don’t know it with complete certainty but that brief interview was more than enough so you shoot him a text about meeting up on thursday
to which he replies quite quickly in an affirmation
when the two of you meet, it’s at the park by the school’s garden and it’s absolutely beautiful - you know it’s completely unfamiliar to many people because you really have to look so you wind up finding yuto just take him there and he’s kinda flustered about it but it’s cute on him 
you take a moment to turn on your tape recorder and turn to him to ask the question you both left on 
his answer: “it’s the world record for the fastest pitch but i want to have the fastest pitch” 
there’s still a whole round of questions for him to answer and after a good hour of just bantering, you actually find him endearing and funny and really sweet beneath the brooding rbf
and the more he’s with you, the more he wants to open up even if it just for some interview because he feels acknowledged and appreciated 
with you, there’s something different that stirs in his chest - the ease that he felt after getting acquainted with wooseok comes with you but even more so
he really likes the way the gardenias and lilies complement your features, how the sun shines on you two and you bask in it
for reasons beyond him, he’s actually kinda sad that after this he won’t see much of you because there’s still a lot he’d like to know and ask you but between answering your questions and thinking ahead, it’s hard to interject his own considering it’s his interview
and tbh you’re pretty sad about it too but that sort of thing doesn’t hit you until it’s over and you’re playing the tape recording over and suddenly it’s like,,,, well, you want to know more about yuto
so you make a decision
after you’re done with the piece, you hit yuto up and let him read the manuscript and he’s in freakin’ awe because no one has ever really talked about him in the way that you did and he just turns to you and says “thank you” in the most sincerest voice and your heart truly feels like it might fall out of your chest 
you just tell him that “it was my pleasure” because it really was!!
a small moment passes between you two, but wooseok comes in and you two get embarrassed so you excuse yourself to go prepare for the final publishing 
wooseok totally teases yuto btw but one glare from the latter has the former cackling before he goes off into the shower
“you’re so whipped dude”
“shut. up.”
“it’s the truth~~~~~~”
“sleep with one eye open, woo”
when it gets published, everyone is freakin’ amazed ofc and those who read the piece actually get some proper insight on the misunderstood baseball player, and you hand deliver a copy to him because you’re so freakin’ ecstatic and proud because everyone loved it and it looks so great and 
well yuto is really happy and seeing happy is an absolute blessing 
as flustered as he is, he actually expresses a better expression of gratitude and tells you that “no one has ever done something like this for me and i really, truly appreciate it” 
you can feel your heart thudding and your throat closing up because he continues “and honestly, you’ve been on my mind like crazy y/n”
all you can manage is a “why?” but he’s relieved to see blush dusting on your cheeks
“because i want to get to know you and i want to understand you and i-” he whispers the last half: “thinkyou’rereallycute”
you’re almost in shock but you’re too elated tbh and you embarrassingly say, “i think you’re really cute too,,,,” 
so you both spend this impromptu first date wandering the park and going to the campus cafe and just talking but he lets you talk 
 in fact, he wants to know everything about you - why you started journalism and why you decided to take him on and what your favorite color is and what your favorite song is and all those little things that people tend to forget but him? 
he remembers them 
he remembers everything you tell him and he finds it so adorable how your nose scrunches and your features light up and how much you have to say even though you’re usually the one asking the questions
and it just feels so damn good to have someone show interest in you
like yeah sure you’ve made some strong connections and friendships but the way yuto asks you questions and absorbs your answers, even inputting his own feelings, you feel so happy because this isn’t some obligatory “tell me about yourself” it’s a genuine “please tell me more” 
each day you two learn new things about each other too which is really great if you didn’t realize just how mischievous he is 
LOL like it seems to be a hidden personality trait of his but you’ve come to find that being with yuto has become a series of getting soft pranked or just watching others get hardcore pranked and it’s kinda funny
you really wouldn’t expect it from him but the way he softly pranks you is just too adorable for you to get upset with
like well, the first time he ever told you he loved you, he steals your tape recorder from you - not really steal it but one minute it’s on your desk and another it’s in his hands and he’s fumbling with it but he manages to record over the blank tape and goes “y/n, did you know you’re an amazing person?” 
you can’t help but laugh because he has one of those sports newscaster voice and feigned serious face as he holds the tape recorder out to you in wait of an answer so you just shake your head “no sir, i did not” 
he grins, “well, did you know that i, adachi yuto, love you for being the amazing person you are?” 
and even though his cheeks are so blatantly red and yours are too, you’re stunned 
“i-i did not know that,,,,” and you lean in close and place your hand over his on the recorder and say, “but did you know that i, l/n y/n, love you too?” 
and he just pulls you into the sweetest kiss because he just feels so goddamn happy with you, so content, and most of all, so understood
the rest of the boys are really grateful for you because as comfortable as yuto has been with them, you’ve made it much easier for him and his transition because of the article
a lot of the time, people will come up to him and talk about his stats and baseball which he’s actually happy to converse about 
or even those people that kind of judged him at first, they’re not so,,,,, prejudiced y’know?
they have such a great insight on him as a player and it really is because of all the things you put into that article and you’re so damn proud of it
when you get thanked and welcomed into the group, they adore you man
they love how you aren’t afraid to tease yuto or go along with his playful antics and they love that you bring out this undeniably soft side to him that makes even wooseok go “awwww, my roomie has a heart~~” which is of course replied to with a glare that has even you giggling because that’s just how yuto is
like he’s still pretty intimidating looking but most of the school doesn’t think that as badly - it’s usually people on the street in the city
though there were a few people to stop you two because y’all just looked like The Aesthetic couple and it left you both really flustered 
even as you both continue on in your relationship, there are moments where you just fluster each other because y’all just so damn cute and neither of you two can take it
but it works - everything between you just works and it’s kinda perfect in an odd little way 
sometimes you bicker when he gets a little tsundere with you or if he pranks you a little too much (like hides your stuffed pochacco he won you at the fair very unfairly - poor milk bottle worker LOL) 
in the end, you’ll both apologize because you’re both that hyperaware of your actions and you’re both very accepting too 
you can pick up on things that he doesn’t realize and somehow he can do the same with you - with each other, it’s just.... right 
you understand him and he understands you, and honestly, neither of you could ask for anything better than that~~~~
(also lemme just say that on one of your gifts to him was a badtz maru charm for his bat or anything really because it reminded you of him and how pouty he got but literally everyone agreed)
(he hung it btw and it’s considered his lucky charm because he got his pitching speed up to 95.6 mph!!!!!!!!)

The Recruit (Chapter 1) - Mitch Rapp
Author: @were-cheetah-stiles​
Characters: Mitch Rapp, Stan Hurley & Reader/OFC
Title: “Day 1″
Warnings: Some violence, sort of, slow burn.
A.N.: I have been quietly sitting back and reading basically every bit of fan fiction for a few weeks now that I can find pertaining to Stiles/TW/Mitch Rapp/Void/American Assassin, and I finally decided to throw my hat into the ring. I get so much joy from everyone else’s work and I just really hope you can all get the same out of this. 
Summary: Mitch’s fiancee, Katrina, was brutally murdered in a terrorist attack a year and a half ago. He had been hunting the perpetrators by himself for over a year, but finally came across the radar of Irene Kennedy, the Director of the CIA. She sends him to Stan Hurley to be properly trained at becoming a covert assassin on behalf of the American government. When he agreed to all of this, he never expected to meet Y/N.
Chapter One - Chapter Two
Tumblr media
"Who is he?" You asked Stan as you walked up next to him, looking out the window at the black SUV that had come to a halt in the driveway.
"I guess we're about to find out, Y/N." Stan said as he walked away from you, closing the front door behind him.
You watched as the young man, clad in an unzipped gray hoodie, blue plaid shirt, black t-shirt, blue jeans, shaggy dark brown hair and light stubble talked calmly to Stan. He seemed alert, yet relaxed, and carried a hint of a constant smirk on his pink lips... He was handsome. You shook your head, breaking your concentration on his face, and walked back to your room.
You heard the hinges on your door creak, as you opened your eyes and glanced over to the tall figure in your doorway. "Hey, Y/N, we're going out for The Circle." The man said, before ducking out of your room again. You nodded, swung your legs over the side of your bed and laced your boots up.
You watched as Stan,  standing in the middle of the group with the new recruit standing across from him in just his tight black shirt, jeans and boots, pontificated to everyone about ‘the mission’. You had heard it a million times before and you were only half listening until you heard Stan say something new.
"Kill me." You heard Stan say calmly as he handed a knife to the young man.
He quickly lunged at Stan with decent technique, but as swiftly as he moved, Stan had pinned him to the ground, with the tip of the blade pressed again his throat even quicker. The man looked bewildered and pressed his large hands against Stan's trying to ensure that the knife didn't get any closer.
Tumblr media
Stan backed off, taking his knee from against the new recruit's ribcage, and helped him off the ground. "Why don't you have another go at this... Who against...” Stan scanned the faces of his trainees, and smirked when he saw yours. “Y/N, get in here." Stan insisted.
You looked up at Stan and the man in black, not moving your head, but simply lifting your eyes. You did not look amused. You blinked a few times, then inhaled and took Stan's place in the circle. You hated when he did this. You were the only woman in the group, not a spectacle to be gawked at.
Mitch glanced around and saw the smirks on the faces of the guys in the group. He focused his eyes back on you, not fazed by your gender, but somewhat concerned by the general merriment of the group. He stepped forward and watched you remain unflinching. He was puzzled by your lack of movement; you wouldn't even bring your hands up to protect your face. He threw a punch that you caught in your small hand. You pushed his hand back and then dropped your hand back to your side. 
You were quick; he would have to test just how quick before he readjusted his strategy. Mitch threw another punch, which you deflected simply by moving out of the way. He tried to hit you from the other direction, but you backed your head out of the way, then brought your elbow up and hit him on the outside of his face with the outside of your bent arm. He grabbed at his head and stumbled backwards, disoriented. His ear was ringing. He had never been hit like that before.
He shook his head, trying to get the ringing to stop and put his fists up tighter to his face, vowing not to let you best him like that again. He was so busy watching your Y/e/c eyes, waiting for you to divulge what your next move would be by where you looked, that he missed your hand press quickly against his chest, quickly followed by your foot hooking against the back of his knee, bringing him down to the ground. You landed on top of him, pulling his arm across his body in a way that felt like it was about to be dislocated from the socket. You stared straight into his warm brown eyes, still pulling hard, while he thrashed painfully underneath you, only releasing him when you heard Stan start to clap.
You got off of the young man and looked at Stan as you walked back to your place in the circle. "I hate when you do that." You said quietly, as you passed by your mentor.
Stan was smirking, pleased with himself and how his plan of emasculating the new recruit was a success, as he walked passed his protégé. "I know." He simply replied to you, as he helped the muddy young man to his feet. "Maybe one day you'll be as good as her, although it's doubtful." Stan patted him on the back and walked away from the group, heading off towards the main house. "Tomorrow at 0700." Stan yelled at the group, as he left them in the woods.
The new recruit clutched his shoulder and watched as the short, slender, y/h/c haired woman walked back to the house with the group of men. Most of them chatting together, her only chatting with two.
He followed the group back and found an empty room to put his medium sized duffle bag in. He caught a glimpse of the person across the hall as the shadow moved across the room. He watched you walk over, a paperback book folded in half in one hand and an apple pressed against your mouth in the other. You didn’t even notice him, as you pushed the door closed with your foot. He decided to close his too, and he went back to unpacking his minimal belongings.
As the slow and quiet day began to come to a close, you walked into the bathroom with your toothbrush and a wash cloth and began brushing your teeth. You heard a toilet flush behind you, and saw the new man walk out of the stall, rubbing his shoulder and rotating it in an obvious effort to get it to pop. He paused when he saw you standing in front of one of the many sinks and mirrors. He lowered his arm and walked up to the sink next to yours to wash his hands.
He made a mental study of you in his periphery. Your hair was long and wavy from braids, the same way Katrina's used to be, but he could tell was generally pin-straight from how it fell at your roots. You had a smattering of freckles across the bridge of your nose, pierced ears, toned arms, and were barely over five feet tall. He examined your frame as you bent over to spit.
You were wearing a tank top with no bra, and long black leggings, with purple socks over your surprisingly large feet. You rubbed the warm, wet cloth against your face, rung it out, and turned off the water. You glanced over at him, unconsciously placing his hand back over his arm, and you walked away. He realized that he had been staring the entire time, and he shook his head at his own lack of subtlety. He shut off the faucet in front of him and followed you down the hall, to your bedrooms.
No more than ten minutes later, Mitch heard a light knocking on his door. He got up from his bed and opened it, revealing the woman from across the hall standing in front of him. 
"Can I come in?" You asked, your voice low but sweet. Mitch stepped out of the way, silently granting you passage, and closed the door behind you. You glanced around the room, seeing no personal items added by him since he got there, except the duffel thrown under his bed. You turned back to him, catching him staring at you once again, and you spoke. "I think I may have dislocated your shoulder a little. I didn't mean to actually do it." You finally said, nodding your head at his arm.
"It's fine." The young man replied.
"No, it's not... sit." 
He complied and sat on the edge of the bed. You walked up to him, slowly raising your hands to his shoulder, all while watching his deep amber eyes. A normal person would be enveloped by what your hands were doing snaking under the fabric of his shirt, but he watched your face. It made your heart race a little. You began pressing the tips of your fingers into his skin, looking for the disconnect. You wrapped your delicate and soft fingers around his wrist, pushed your other hand against the place where his neck and his shoulder met, and leaned one knee against the bed next to him.
"Are you going to count?" He asked, knowing what you were about to do.
"Nope." You said as you yanked his wrist up and then pushed his shoulder down, hearing a small pop, signifying that the joint was back in place. The young man exhaled loudly and growled. You released your grip on him and stood up straighter, in front of him again. He rotated his shoulder with ease, and looked up at you watching him. "Better?"
He cracked his neck. "Much. Thanks."
"You shouldn't thank me. I’m the one that did it to you in the first place." He noticed that you always looked like you could crack a smile at any second while you were talking, but never actually would. "What's your name?"
"Mitch."
"You got a last name?" You asked, leaning your hand and weight against his dresser.
"Rapp."
You nodded, never actually cracking that smile that he was becoming more and more curious over with each passing second. He wouldn’t get what he wanted tonight, as the same serious look on your face, that he had seen all day, remained. "Y/N." You pointed to yourself. "I'm sorry about earlier, Mitch." You turned and opened the door.
"You got a last name?" Mitch echoed your question.
"Yea." You raised your eyebrow, and smiled with your eyes as you walked out the door, closing it behind you.
Mitch chuckled lightly to himself, shook his head, and laid back on top of his sheets, thinking about the events of that day.

Mark || hints (f.)
(Soulmate au!!) + "One where you're dreaming nicely and suddenly a certain someone shows up but the thing is you don't know who they are because their face is all blurry so all you see are things like their hair, hands, skin color etc but whats so impactful about those dreams is that it's always that same person and despite not seeing their features that well you just know it is."+ 12:30am. It was obviously beyond late, but for some reason, sleeping was impossible today. Everytime I slept or was even close some kid would appear in some way. His name? I don't know, his face? It was kind of blurry in the dreams. "what's going on?" I whispered to myself shifting my position on my bed. This was the first time something like this happened, I sighed and closed my eyes again. This time however, he didn't appear. 5:25am. I groaned in annoyance at the sound of my alarm ringing loudly through my room, it also didn't help that my ears were irritatingly sensitive in the morning. Rubbing my forehead I sat up slowly and made my way to the edge of the bed where I just sat there for like three minutes in order to shit on time. Sighing I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up, while putting my hair up and away from my face I found myself pausing, unknowingly I found myself thinking about him, the boy in my dreams. His face was unrecognizable but his hair, his clothes, his eyes, his hands, his laugh and his voice....those were the hints I recieved in my dream. Snapping out of it I shook my head and proceeded to begin brushing my teeth. But I couldn't help but think, why was that boy in my dream last night? Who is he? Have we met? Or will we meet? 6:45am I sat alone in my first class, school was to begin in ten minutes and usually there were a few people here around this time but today was different. It was odd. I looked around my class and noticed something was different. The seats were in pairs of two now. As if that wasn't odd enough some kid came running into class yelling he was late and spitting out apologies only to have them die down as he noticed it was just me in the class. "D-did class end?" He scratched the back of his head and gave me a puppy like look before taking a seat beside me. "No you're on time....I don't suppose I've seen you around....?" He gave me a nervous smile. "No you haven't actually, hi I'm Mark." He held out his hand for me to shake, I slightly hesitated but gave him my hand anyways. "Y/n." I said with a small smile, he nodded and looked down shyly. "You mind if I ask where you're from? You have a slight accent and you don't really look like you're from around here." I said taking note of his pale skin and black hair which really wasn't as common here. "Oh no it's no problem, I'm Canadian I was also living in Korea for a while just incase you wanna know why im so pale compared to the others here." I nodded at the new information. He was going to ask something but stopped when he noticed the sea of students were swarming into the class all at once. "Students don't sit down we have a new student so I changed the seating chart a bit now if you all don't mind go stand by the board." The teacher instructed loudly and clearly. Mark nodded for me to follow along so I did. Mark stood along my side and didn't leave me not even for a split second. Halfway through the seating arrangement neither Mark or myself were separated yet, at least for now. Clearly I spoke to soon, "Mark Lee you will be seated by.... Jeno Lee" Mark turned to me with a worried look and made his way to the ever so smiley Jeno. I have no idea as to why but I felt my head ache slightly as he walked farther and farther away from me, and the farther he got the more my head ached. I clutched my head slightly and took a glance at Mark, who was doing the exact same thing as I was. I dismissed it and went to my assigned seat behind Mark, that helped suppress the pain.... 12:30am Finally it was lunch time, throughout my classes I noticed that Mark and I have four out of five classes together so far. In all of them we were seated by eachother. However, in the one class we didn't have together I was in pain. When he wasn't around my body ached, it was soar, it felt as if my bones were crushing my headached. To sum it up it felt like I was dying. Urgently I sped around the hallways of my school looking for Mark, and I knew I was getting closer as my pain began to subside. He was by the grass, in front of an old tree. "Mark!" I yelled in order to grab his attention, I succeeded as he turned to look at me and gave me a smile with a nod motioning for me to come closer. The closer I got the more euphoric I felt, the pain ultimately subsiding as I was right by his side. "What's wrong?" He asked as he noticed my relieved expression. Taking a moment I looked at him and decided to take in his features. "You look familiar, and I can't pinpoint it because im barely realizing this." I admitted embarrassed at my sudden statement. Silence took over us and he just looked at me, noting my features just like I did to him. We didn't talk or move until Mark suddenly said the strangest thing ever. "Im not one to believe stuff like this but you make me believe...." he muttered, I looked at him waiting for him to continue. "Have you heard of soulmates?" He asked, come to think of it the word seemed familiar. "My mom has mentioned it to me before but I didn't pay attention....why?" I tilted my head waiting for his answer. "Well, when I was younger my grandmother explained to me that when you're the age meant to be, you begin to dream about your soulmate, she told me you get hints about who they are as time goes by." He was nervous and I could tell by the way he paused and gulped down some of his own saliva. "Thats beautiful Mark but, what does this have to do with me exactly?" "Do you get the dreams?" He asked abruptly, I hesitated before asking, "What dreams? Mark what are you on about?", "Those where you're dreaming nicely and suddenly a certain someone shows up out of nowhere but the thing is you don't know who they are because their face is all blurry so all you see are things like their hair, hands, skin color etc but whats so impactful about those dreams is that it's always that same person and despite not seeing their features that well you just know it is." I didn't know what to say. "What do those dreams have to do with soulmates...." I muttered to myself forgetting Mark was close enough to where he could hear me properly. "Oh, so you do get them too?" Too? "You get them?" I asked Mark in shock. "If I didn't I wouldn't have said anything about it." He got me there. "I do get them." I said quietly looking down to the prickly grass. He didn't say anything and then hesitated when he was about to speak. "What....no who do you see?" Who? How was I supposed to know? "He has black hair, strikingly pale skin, beautiful glossy eyes...." I glanced at Mark and paused my rant when I noticed him studying my features, I was about to ask him what he was doing before he beat me to it with a few questions of his own. "Your head was hurting too huh? When you were in that class without me you felt like dying, when you came looking for me your pain subsided as you got closer to me didn't it? And now that you sit so close to me....you can't move away because you're afraid of feeling like dying again huh?" I hesitated for a bit before slowly nodding. "Me too." He sighed with a smile as he leaned on my shoulder with his head. I didn't know how to explain how I felt at the moment....happy? Confused? Angry? I didn't know. "So what is this supposed to mean?" I stuttered slightly from his sudden initiation of skinship. "It means that now that I finally found you I can't let you go.... in other words you're a dream come true." He smiled as he pecked the higher part of my cheek causing my cheeks to stain themselves with a light red. He tackled me over and attacked me with all the love he could attack me with. It was odd, I felt like we've been dating since forever, in no way did I feel shy with him anymore it all kinda....just....clicked. Fin. -admin I've had this one as a draft for a long time now, I started it around april.25 maybe before the exordium in la wHICH BTW WAS REALLY LIT LIKE AYE and then I got distracted and never finished it and now I did anD im also wAAAy too lazy to edit it so ofc there's probably gonna be some spelling mistakes but I bet y'all can look past that :)
