"Is everything okay?" His voice snaps you out from your reverie. You turn your head to him who is looking at you amusingly. How can you freeze in front of him Well, whoever enters this household would have the same reaction as you. When he told you that you're moving to his penthouse, you had imagined a clean home but what you can see now is a large pile of mess. There's litter everywhere. There's also high of a pile of uncleaned cloth on the couch and when you walk to the kitchen you almost faint when you see dirty dishes not only on the kitchen island but also everywhere.

"Oh my God." You say under your breath.

You heard him clearing his voice so you swirl around. "I fired the helper last week because I found her resting on my bed."

"And you can't clean by yourself?"

"I don't have time for that." Rolling your eyes, your walks to the stairs and you let out a breath of relief because at least this floor is clean. You did not aware that he follows you that suddenly you feel his presence as he stands right behind you.

"This will be our room and there's connecting room over there." He pointed to the left side where there a white door. "That will be the dressing room. You can use half of the space. I built a new one for you." Oh wow, did you hear it wrong? Did he build a new closet just for you? How thoughtful.

"I thought you'll be asking me to use a guest room."

"We're married. What is the use of having a wife if at night I am not going to share a bed with her." You felt the proximity. You heard it very well how deep his voice is. You even feel his breath beside your ears.

"You're crazy if you think his deep voice is beautiful." You mumble incoherently and slink away from him to go downstairs to clean whatever needed to be clean. You just need to distract yourself. One thing for sure is that you need to distract yourself from thinking about your hus... ahh just say the word Y/n. Husband. Yes, your husband. God! Please protect my heart.

Done cleaning everything, well not everything though. You just gather his uncleaned shirt into a pile and throw everything into the washing machine. Well for the dirty dishes, you have never been so happy when you found out that he has a dishwasher. So you just have to put it in and it'll do the work and the only thing you do is vacuuming the floor as well arranging everything.

And when you finished everything, you plopped down on the couch, and that when you saw Taehyung wearing simple outfits. He did not even realize you sitting there since you're not turning the tv on. "Where are you going?" He seems startles as you saw how he turn around instantly upon hearing your voice.

"I am going out. Don't wait for me." He says while closing the door and he's gone. You almost forgot that Taehyung is actually a bastar* who goes around from one girl to another and just now your heart is almost affected by his voice. Oww, how stupid are you!

It's been a long and traumatized day for you that you are finally able to have a long shower. You just can't wait to sleep but then you remember that you never unpack your things. Oh, God! Another one thing to do.

When you open the dressing room you were actually surprised that his things are neat, very neat in fact. Like even his shirt are arranged according to colors. But what caught your attention is a long cushion bench that was placed in the middle of the dressing room that divides the area perfectly. There's a medium-size glass table placed beside the bench and that what actually caught your attention is when you found a picture in a frame. This is not the same girl you met at his office. So you do what every wife does. You took a picture of the girl but sending it to someone. Someone who you can trust and knowable to dig information about this girl, Yunhyeong. Well because he knows almost everyone and you know he can anything to dig this girl's background. Not that you always asked him this kind of request but you just feel this girl is special to Taehyung because if she's not, he would never hide her from you.

It took you less than a day to find out about the girl. Her name is Jung Hana, the same age as you and now residing at one of the high-class hospitals in Korea because she's dying and she's your husband's lover, not for two but for almost five years.

You went to his company again this morning and coincidentally, not really coincidently because the real reason you're here is to meet her, the secretary while on her way to enter the building.

"Hey" You call her, stopping the car beside the road in front of your husband's company. She stops and her faces hard when she realizes it was you. "I need to talk to you."

"I don't think I can talk to you now since office hours started in fifteen..."

"I know and that why I am going to make this talking short and simple."

"Bu..."

"Why don't you get in the car now. It'll save more time."

She folds her hands across her chest as if she's challenging you and showing you that she's not going to comply with your request. You let out a smirk and got off from that car and walks to her before taking her hair in your hand while pushing her to your car.

"Yah, you crazy bi*ch!" She says as you push her towards the car. You don't care if you're attracting any unnecessary attention. This girl needs to be taught a lesson.

"I told you clearly to get in the car." Heaving a harsh breath, she gave up and got in your car. Hurriedly, you got in the car and drive away from the building. You stopped the car at some empty parking lots not far from the office. You took a white big envelope from the back seats and throw it on her laps. "Open it." You say as you see her staring at it.

She tried to control her expression but a woman like her is easy to read. Under her calm and confident demeanor that she tried to show you, you know she's nervous, very nervous by the way how she grips the end of the envelope tightly and slowly pull out the picture inside. You looked at her calmly while enunciates every word slowly so that she understands you.

"Is my husband still with her?" She nodded her head slowly. "Then he only paid you to be his girl?" She nodded her head again. She then goes on with explaining everything from how he always out on time from the office so that he could take care of her to the moment he hired his own secretary to act out the playboys' drama.

You heave out an airy chuckle. So the reason he flaunts her playboy side is so that you could disagree with the wedding and he wanted to be with her. He's not the bad guy you thought all this time. He just wanted to take care of his sick lover. He doesn't want to hurt her. But he doesn't want to disappoint his father too so that why he chooses to show you that non-existed side of him, the bad-ass man when he's not that kind of guy. You wonder what kind of secret he hides more from you because you stop her when she says his father's name and his plan. You didn't want to know more, you stop her when she said the plan he prepared something just to hurt you. You don't want to know more. It's shocking to know that they planned on hurting the baby if you ever get pregnant. For God's sake, the baby (if you're actually pregnant from that one session at the hotel) is innocent and that their blood and flesh. Just what kind of monster are they?

"I am sorry, Mrs. Kim." You suddenly snap out to reality when she addressed you like that. "I didn't mean to do that with him. It's just that... he tells me to do it."

"Out."

Stuttering she replies to you. "W-What?"

"Out. You're late for work." You said fiercely.

Her eyes are wide in disbelieve. "You can never take her place." She said angrily and got off your car. So she met her. You instantly drive away and after fifteen minutes driving you found yourself stopping in front of the hospital she was in but you're not going to meet her, not yet.

It was around 7PM that you heard the front door open. He came home. You did not expect that. You thought he'll go to her straight after work. That's what her secretary told you.

You ignored his presence at the kitchen's door, hand folding above his chest observing you. "So did you found the answer you're looking for?" He finally asks you.

So he knows but you pretend to be clueless. "What?"

"I saw what you did today and she reports to me everything. You're speaking to my employee so do you think they'll keep whatever happens today as a secret?"

"Let's just say I know everything. What can you say about that?"

He shrugged his shoulder and steps forward to you. "Just to remind you Y/n, I agreed to this wedding because of my father. There's no promise that I'll stay with you." His eyes lock with yours.

"And that including killing your baby if I were pregnant?" You meet his hard gaze and you intentionally say 'your baby' because he needs to realize that if he's hurting the baby, he's hurting his own flesh.

"That's the initial plan... before I agreed to marry you."

"And what changes now?"

"If I do it, there's no difference between me and your father."

My Boy*Friend Lance

i had this on my drafts....*shrugs*

“This is my friend; Lance.”

Shiro snorts, choking on his own spit when his mother slaps the back of his head as a reprimand.

He’s highly almost totally sure that there’s a missing word before the word ‘friend’.

It’s ‘boy’. The word was ‘boy’.

He doesn’t voice any of his thoughts though, not when his mother is giving him a warning look from the side before she looks back at the two sixteen years old before them and smiles sweetly.

“Nice to meet you, Lance.”

The tall but slim brown sixteen years old smiles widely back at her, compliments of her beauty and her house slipping through his lips like a practiced speech, but Shiro gives him points for trying.

He looks behind Lance, where his little brother stands, and shakes his head when he catches the way Keith’s shoulders drop, relief washing down on him and Shiro thinks it’s ridiculous to think that his brother was nervous about him introducing his boy -

Friend*. Right. No ‘boy’ yet.

Shiro sighs internally, lips twitching fondly when he catches the way Keith smiles at the way Lance interacts with his mom and how his eyes soften, never leaving the brunet’s face.

This boy is so far gone.

And so gay.

It’s four in the afternoon on a friday when Keith leaves the house with nothing more than a hurried goodbye that echoes around the walls and picking his house keys hastily on his way out.

It’s ten at night on the same friday when Keith stumbles back home, keys jiggling on his hands as he steps inside and even from his spot on the living room, Shiro can see the goofy dopey smile on his brother’s face, the dimming lighting above him doing nothing to hide the raging blush on his cheeks.

“Fun night?” Shiro calls out, arching an amused eyebrow when Keith jumps on his feet, as if the mere thought of finding someone else alive in the house was ridiculous and unexpected. Rude, Shiro lived here first, thanks.

“Uh, yeah. Yeah, it was...it was fun.” Keith coughs, looking away as he drops his keys on a small bowl near the entrance and rubs the back of his neck.

“Who were you with?” Shiro asks, head tilted to the side in mock innocence.

“With my friend, Lance. You know him.”

Shiro hums, teasing grin growing on his lips. “Ah, yes, Lance, right. Where did you guys go, though? Because you look like a chicken nested on your hair, dude.”

Keith chokes. “Uh, movies.”

‘Makes sense; dark place, loud background noise.’ Shiro thinks with a hum before he speaks up. “Cool, what movie?”

“Uh, Paladin’s Love?”

“Cool, cool. Is it any good? I’ve been meaning to watch it.” Shiro says, dropping his chin on his flesh hand as he gives his entire attention to his brother. His grin grows when Keith shifts nervously.

“Uh, yeh?”

“What is it about?”

“Uh, it’s about a Paladin’s….love?”

“Brillant.” Shiro says, throwing a low whistle in the end and chuckles when Keith glares at him.

“Shut up, Takashi.” Keith says annoyed, flipping him the middle finger as he stomps his way to his room. Shiro waves him off with a smug smile.

“Nice new cologne, by the way!”

“Shut up!!”

“Boys!”

“Sorry, mom!”

There’s giggling.

Shiro arches his neck up, as if the mere simple move will help him get bigger ears for him to hear better the ruckus that’s going on upstairs, most likely coming from his brother’s room.

His science homework lays forgotten on the kitchen’s table, highlighter in the middle of the book as he narrows his eyes and listens.

Yup, more giggling.

“They do know we have thin walls, right?” Shiro mumbles quietly as he purses his lips. His dad hums behind him, still chopping some fresh fruit and placing them on the big bowl next to him.

“Let them be, Kashi.” His dad reminds with amusement, not looking up from his task and leaving once again Shiro to his thoughts.

Shiro counts in his head, waiting for the inevitable that always comes whenever Lance comes over and locks himself in his little brother’s room every time.

Giggling. Giggling. Giggling. Giggl -

“Ack! Dude!”

Yup, there you go: the shouting.

“You started it!”

“I hit you with a goddamn pillow! Not a book!”

“It’s the french book!”

“Oh, I’m sorry? Did the two thousand page hardcover book suddenly turned into a soft french baguette?”

“With enough imagination, yes.”

“You little shi -!”

“Ack! Lance!”

“Is he ever going to tell us, though?” Shiro asks quietly as the shouting continues, lips twitching in amusement when a second door opens upstairs and then his mom’s scolding echoes around the house, quickly followed by two embarrased teenaged apologies, “I mean, it’s not like it’s a secret.”

“It is for them.” His dad says softly, picking up his cooking tools and placing them over the sink before he turns to his oldest, “Keith will tell us when he’s ready.”

“Pft so he gets to be gay with a boyfriend because he hasn’t ‘officially’ come out to us, but I don’t get to do my memes and embarrassing him like the big brother that I am?” Shiro huffs, leaning back on his chair and throwing his head back, enough to meet his dad’s eyes upside down, “That’s unfair.”

“Well, it’s not about you and your sexuality, son.” His dad chuckles poking him on forehead.

“Well, what if I told you I was bi?” Shiro asks, arching an eyebrow.

“Then congrats, buddy.”

“I’m not bi.” Shiro scoffs before he frowns, “That I know of.”

His dad pats him on the back. “Take your time figuring out.”

Shiro snorts. “Okay, okay, but still, I mean, he knows we doesn’t have to hide it from us, right? We cool with him being gay and having a boyfriend.”

“Your brother approaches things in a different way, Takashi.” His dad reminds him, giving him a small bowl with chunks of strawberries and apples, “Give your brother time, he will come around.”

Shiro opens his mouth to reply but the sound of giggling comes back, even louder than before and Shiro scoffs with a good-heartilly smile.

Alright fine, let the ‘Hide-&-Don’t-Seek-I’m-Gay’ continue.

“Takashi, is this yours?”

Shiro looks up from his laptop, eyebrows furrowed at the clothing in question his dad holds up for him to see.

“Uh, no.” He answers confused, “Where did you find it?”

“I was doing some laundry and found this in the basket.” His dad shrugs, growing at the jacket on hand, “It’s not Keith’s, based on the color scheme so we should throw -”

“No!” Keith shouts, jumping out of nowhere and grabbing the jacket, clutching it close to his chest, “Nop! It’s uh, it’s Lance’s. He left it here last time, so I’m just...gonna put it away. Sorry, dad.”

Their dad blink, more out of surprise at the sudden outburst than anything else. “No problem, son.”

Keith smiles sheepishly before he turns and leaves the room, heading towards his own.

Shiro watches him go in silence. He then snort so loudly that he almost chokes two weeks later, when Lance had been over their house in a total of ten times and his jacket still sits on Keith’s desk.

Are they even trying?

They’re helping their mom with the garden when Shiro notices.

It’s a small blue hair tie, keeping Keith’s ponytail in a tight hold. It’s quite the miracle, when Keith is well known to let his wild mane go at all times.

“What’s with the hair tie?” Shiro asks as he pushes himself back and sits on the back of his knees, pointing at Keith’s hair.

Keith blinks before he blushes, eyes dawning with realization. “Ah, uh, it’s Lance’s.”

“Lance doesn’t have long hair, though.” Shiro says confused.

“He, uh, bought them for me.”

“Such a coincidence they are blue, huh?” Shiro says sneakily, wiggling his eyebrows playfully, “It’s almost as if it was for you to remember him. Wow, such a good friend.”

“Kashi.” Their mom says slow and long, a gentle warning in the back of her voice.

“Shut up, Shiro.” Keith says instead, picking some tiny pebbles from the ground and throwing them at his brother.

They both get grounded when they do more mess than helping on the garden, but worth it.

Shiro’s coming out of the bathroom, hand scratching his stomach over his undershirt lazily before he turns off the light.

He’s barely a foot out when he collides with another body.

Shiro groans, glad that his butt was saved from slamming itself against the cold hard floor but his eyes widen when he catches the figure in front of him.

Lance rubs the side of his head with a small pained pout, only freezing when he finally catches Shiro’s eyes on him.

They stare at each other for a solid minute before Shiro speaks up.

“It’s five in the morning.” He hisses incredulous, missing his prosthetic this time only so he could have two arms to throw in the air to emphasize his exasperation, “What are you doing here?”

“Not cuddles.” Lance answers in a breath, eyes widening before he slaps his own face hard, “I mean, uh, homework? Yeah, homework.”

Shiro blinks, mouth wide open in disbelief before he shakes his head and comforts himself to at least throw his only flesh arm in the air to express himself.

“Unbelievable.”

“Mom, Dad.” Shiro coughs intentionally on the background, making Keith rolls his eyes before he starts over, “Mom, Dad, and Shiro.”

“Yes, sweetheart?” Their mom ask softly, soft gentle smile on her face as she waits for her youngest to continue.

Keith takes a deep breath before he nods to himself and then -

“I’m gay.”

“Hallelujah!”

“Takashi!”

“I’m, like, super proud of you, lil bro.” Shiro says later that day, flopping himself next to Keith on the couch and locking him with his flesh arm, ruffling his hair, “My baby bro is finally out! Thought I was going to grow a beard before you decided to come clean.”

Keith grunts as he wrestle his brother’s hold and huffs when Shiro finally gives him mercy. “Yeah, well, it would have been nice to know you all already knew.”

“Hey, I tried. You’re just slow.”

“Shut up!” Keith laughs, shoving his brother by the arm but there’s this happy at easy smile on his face and Shiro’s chest feels warm at the sight.

“I’m really happy for you, Keith, honestly.” Shiro says softly, squeezing his brother’s shoulder, “And I wasn’t lying earlier, I’m really proud of you.”

“Thank you, Shiro.” Keith mumbles quietly, fingers running through his hair sheepishly as he look away, “It feels like a big weight off my chest, you know? I’m just...really really happy.”

“I can imagine.” Shiro snorts, punching him playfully on the shoulder, “But I noticed you didn’t mention Lance, what gives?”

Keith gives him a weird look. “Why would I mention Lance?”

“You gotta be shitting me.”

It takes another month before it finally comes.

“Mom, Dad.” Shiro coughs on the background, once again, and Keith limits himself to flip him off with his free hand, his other one still holding Lance’s tightly, “Mom, Dad, and Shiro.”

“Yes, son?” Their dad asks kindly, nodding at his youngest as reassurance to continue.

“This is my boyfriend; Lance.”

“Hello.” Lance waves with a happy beaming smile.

Shiro throws his hands in the air and drops to his knees.

“Hallelujah!”

“Takashi!”

alphabetical OC meme

filled this out for Lord Asshole bc i cant write anything so i may as well fill in questionnaires instead

also numerous numbers and at least one section were missing when i copied it so idk what happened there

under the cut bc its Long As Hell

A: Aptitude 1. what are your oc’s natural abilities, things they’ve been doing since young? // Independence lmao. He could get through his whole life relying entirely on himself if need be. He wouldn’t be happy, but he’d survive. He’s also naturally intellectual and has never had to try very hard in academia.

2. what activities have they participated in? // literally what does this mean. Safe to say he’s not exactly playing team sports.

3. what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for? // He’s had to work extremely hard to shed the bad habits learnt whilst growing up in a white aristocratic dysfunctional family. Other than that, he’s a talented pianist – the only thing his mother was ever proud of. Also sending work-emails that don’t make him sound like a total dick. still working on that tbh

4. what things are they bad at? // Honestly, anything creative. He’s very intelligent but has absolutely no artistic talent, and he’s not at all imaginative – creating something out of nothing when it doesn’t have a logical or scientific basis is pretty beyond him.

5. what is their most impressive talent? // In his original AU, and any fantasy AUs I force him kicking and screaming into, swordsmanship. He’s pretty untouchable with a blade.

B: Basics 1. what is their hair color?// Dark brown, close to black.

2. what is their eye color? // Also dark brown.

3. how tall are they? // 6’2

4. how old are they? // He fluctuates depending on the AU, but his default base-age is 34.

5. how much do they weigh? // Generally between 150-180lbs, depending on his age, eating habits and mental state. When he’s going through stress, his eating and sleeping patterns are the first to nosedive.

C: Comfort 1. how do they sit in a chair? // His posture leaves a lot to be desired. He slouches pretty badly, and to be honest his height makes it difficult to get comfortable in most regular chairs. He also manspreads, though to be fair his legs are about 3 miles long and it’s hard to know where to put them honestly

2. in what position do they sleep? // Either on his side or his front. Never on his back.

4. what is their major comfort food? why? // oh man sugar. His eating habits aren’t good at the best of times, but when he’s feeling Mentally Ill he’s prone to 4am binges of as much sugar as conceivably possible in one sitting. He then goes for a 5am run until he throws up, so yknow. all nice and healthy.

5. who is the best at comforting them when down? // Elrick. Gross. Also Kat, to be fair.

D: Decoration 1. how would they decorate a house if they had one under their name? // He’s very fond of Nordic design and tries to keep vibrancy to a minimum, because he’s a boring bitch. Light walls, dark woods, pretty stylish furniture but no chrome Thank You Very Much; accent colours would probably be dark blues or greens. Plants, but only if he doesn’t have to water them because he Will forget and they Will all die. He’s also anal as fuck and despises mess and disorder, which makes living with Elrick fuckin interesting to say the least.

2. how would they decorate their child’s room? // however they wanted as long as it wasn’t pastels bc a man has to draw the line somewhere

3. how do they decorate their own room? // muted, calm, maybe a little regency – he accessorises more in the bedroom than he does in the rest of the house, gold accents here and there, that sort of thing. Less austere, more opulent. At the end of the day, he’s from an aristocratic background, however unhealthy his upbringing was – he can never quite shed the appreciation for luxe.

4. what type of clothes and accessories do they wear? // He dresses well – very put-together, if very monochrome. He doesn’t do casual very well and will avoid jeans unless he has no other choice. He would quite literally rather die than wear shorts. As for colours, generally blacks, greys, dark jewel-tones (maroons, dark greens, dark purples, etc). Very rarely light colours, and if he does wear light tones he layers them – a white shirt under a dark leather jacket, for example. As for accessories, he stays simple with a decent watch (Patek Phillipe, thanks, none of this Rolex bullshit) and two rings (wedding ring and onyx signet ring – family heirloom, the only one he has). He knows how to dress to suit himself.

5. do they like makeup/nail/beauty trends? // >:[

E: External Personality 1. does the way they do things portray their internal personality? // For the most part. How he behaves has been moulded over many years by how he thinks and feels, and it’s hard to shed the habits of a lifetime. EG, he’s very neurotic and it does have an impact on his organisation – if his mental state slips into decline, so too does his command over his surroundings and his ability to keep things on track.

2. do they do things that conform to the norm? // Again, for the most part. A key element of his upbringing was the overbearing sense of being watched, being judged, being on display; one behaves the way one is expected to behave, and one never deviates from that path. Obviously he fucked that one right up when he started putting dicks in his mouth, but it still remains something of a mantra.

3. do they follow trends or do their own thing? // Neither, really. He doesn’t follow trends because he’s actually 70 years old and doesn’t know what they are, but nor is he particularly unconventional. He does his own thing because he has no idea what anybody else is currently doing.

4. are they up-to-date on the internet fads? // oh god no. he has a twitter account but the last time he used it he got drunk and tweeted at jeremy paxman that he was a cunt so he doesn’t really engage with it very much

5. do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it out on their own? // People are left to figure it out. He doesn’t go out of his way to make friends or advertise his personality – he’s friendly when he needs to be, but is not the sort of person to go out actively socialising.

G: Gorgeous 1. what is their most attractive external feature? // His height makes him pretty popular and he knows how to dress well. He also has that particular ‘tall, thin, dark hair, pale skin, heroin-addict-esque’ chic that some people tend to go for. He doesn’t really get it, himself.

2. what is the most attractive part of their personality? // He’s witty in a very dry way – a little sharper than run-of-the-mill sarcasm.

3. what benefits come with being their friend? // Ok honestly? Money lmao. idk man you’d have to ask Kat bc she’s the only one who’s lasted this long

4. what parts of them do they like and dislike? // Though he projects an aura of self-assurance, he really doesn’t like very much about himself; his upbringing and unhealthy relationship with Catholicism did a number of his self-esteem. He’s proud of his intellect and knows he is smarter than the average person, but other than that, not a great deal.

5. what parts of others do they envy? // General happiness. He’s a melancholy person by nature and doesn’t tend to feel a swell of positive emotions for no reason – he can’t help but feel there’s something inherently wrong in his brain.

H: Heat 1. do they rather a hot or cold room? // n e i t h e r bitch his internal temperature must remain on an even keel at all times. Probably cold, if he was forced to pick.

2. do they prefer summer or winter? // Winter because it means he can wear layers

3. do they like the snow? // yes but he’ll never admit it. he finds it romantic. that must never be repeated.

4. do they have a favorite summer activity? // lying in front of the fridge cursing God

5. do they have a favorite winter activity? // coffee dates. Independent coffee shops, mind you – fuck Sbux.

I: In-the-closet 1. what is their sexuality? // Gay

2. have they ever questioned their sexuality? // he spent more than half his teen years wishing he was straight

3. have they ever questioned their gender? // No

4. would/was their family be okay with them being LGBT? // mother denies it completely, father kicked him out, brother doesn’t give a shit bc he’s bi as hell himself

5. how long would/did it take for them to come out? // He was forced out at 16 when he was caught with a boyfriend in the boathouse of Darlington estate – it marked the end of an already abusive parental relationship. To be honest, it’s hard to say if he would have ever had the courage to come out himself.

J: Joy 1. what makes them happy? // Feeling loved. He got very little of that in his youth.

2. who makes them happy? // Elrick has an uncanny ability. Who’d have thought it.

3. are there any songs that bring them joy? // He particularly loves Dancing in the Dark by Springsteen, and All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix. Neither are very joyful songs, granted, but they’re two of his favourites.

4. are they happy often? // He’s contented often, and he enjoys his life. ‘Happy’, though? Not sure.

K: Kill 1. have they ever thought about suicide? // More than once.

2. have they ever thought about homicide? // Not with any real intent. In a modern AU, anyway – can’t say the same for any of his other incarnations.

3. if they could kill anyone without punishment, would they? who? // Way deep down somewhere, he’d be tempted to say his father.

4. who would miss them if they died? // More people than he knows.

5. who would be happy they died, anyone? // lmao the tax agency probably. His father wouldn’t be happy, per se, but perhaps it would solve a problem.

L: Lemons 1. what is their favorite fruit? // Black cherries.

2. what is their least favorite fruit? // fuck bananas, honestly

3. are there any foods they hate? // Peanut butter can die, and also asparagus can also die.

4. do they have any food intolerances? // Not that he knows of.

5. what is their favorite food? // Probably Thai or Korean.

M: Maternal 1. would they want a daughter or a son? // He technically has a son already. Kat wanted a child and she trusted Logan above an anonymous donor, so one stressful jack-off session, a weird experience with a baster and eight months later, Rowan showed up early. Logan technically has no parental responsibilities or rights, but he’s involved in Rowan’s life nonetheless. And then there’s Bastian, whose own father leaves a Little To Be Desired in the emotional department, let’s say, so ultimately he winds up taking on that role as well.

2. how many children do they want? // One’s enough, ta, and that one doesn’t even live with him. In seriousness, he’s always idly thought about children in his life, but not with any real seriousness – he plays his role with Rowan well and he’s a great uncle to Bastian, but kids wouldn’t suit his and Elrick’s lifestyle.

3. would they be a good parent? // Yeah, he probably would.

4. what would they name a son? what would they name a daughter? // Demetrius or Victor for a boy, Ophelia for a girl. How else will people know he’s a pretentious bitch?

5. would they adopt? // Nah

O: Optimism 1. are they optimistic or pessimistic? // Total pessimist.

2. are they openly optimistic, throwing it on others? // No and he cannot stand it when other people force optimism into entirely inappropriate situations.

3. are they good at giving advice? // lmao not unless it’s legal advice. Then yes, absolutely. Just don’t cry on his kitchen floor.

4. is there anyone in their life that throws optimism on them? fukkin Katherine. She’s the only one allowed to get away with it.

5. were they always optimistic/pessimistic? // Yeah, he was a pretty dour, anxious little kid from the start.

P: Personality 1. what is their best personality trait? // From a professional perspective, he’s extremely clear-headed and analytical, and it serves him very well as a criminal prosecution lawyer – there’s not much that slips by him, and he can spot a loophole coming a mile away.

2. what is their worst personality trait? // He’s … difficult to get along with, for a lot of people. Not nasty as such, but he’s sharp-tongued and quite quick to anger in situations outside of his job, particularly when stressed. He also has a tendency to look down on people (particularly people who aren’t considered ‘smart’ by his standards) and let’s be real, he’s pretty classist – it takes him a long time to come to terms with Bastian’s relationship with Fabian. Elrick is more than happy to call him out on this.

3. what of their personality do others love? // Didn’t we already do this?

5. do they hate anything about their personality/about other’s personalities? // god he cannot abide people who aren’t punctual oh GOD he hates people who aren’t punctual

Q: Questions 1. do they ask for help? // Not unless he’s literally dying

2. do they ask questions in class? // to be honest, he generally didn’t need to

3. do they answer questions that make them a little uncomfortable? // Depends on the context, but he generally tries to avoid giving out personal information.

4. do they ask weird questions? // He keeps his weird questions to himself and Googles them later.

5. are they curious? // By nature. It was curiosity that got him into the godawful mess he ended up in re: his source material.

R: Rules 1. do they follow rules? // Generally yeah, aside from the occasionally joint now and then. Although saying that, he does run very much on his own moral code, so I suppose he follows rules as long as he agrees with the sense and logic behind them.

2. would they be a strict or laid-back parent? // It’s odd, his instinct is to be strict but he would also loathe the thought of being anything like his father, so he might swing entirely the other way in an attempt to avoid that. Hard to say. He definitely wouldn’t be like … a fun, playful parent because that’s just not in his nature, but it’s possible he’d relax his own rules significantly. Although he is fairly strict with Rowan, it’s for Rowan’s benefit - he needs rules and boundaries to be comfortable, and Logan’s not a traditional ‘father’ in that case anyway.

3. have they ever been consequenced for breaking a rule? // he was ‘consequenced’ pretty fuckin badly for daring to kiss a boy

4. have they broken any rules they now regret breaking? // oh god probably, he has more regrets than he can count

5. do they find any rules they/others follow absolutely ridiculous? // He’s not got a lot of time nor respect for people who follow rules totally blindly without having some sense of self-critique.

S: Streets 1. are they street-smart? // Depends on the AU, but for the most part he’s too privileged.

2. would they give money to someone on the streets? // no because he’s actually horrible

3. have they ever gotten in a fight on the streets? // No, but he has gotten in a fight in a bar. Kat will not let him forget it.

5. are they cautious when out? // A little paranoid, perhaps, but it doesn’t stop him.

T: Truth 1. are they honest? // define ‘honest’

2. can they tell if someone is lying? // Yes, it’s literally his job.

3. is it obvious when they’re lying? // Nope. He’s a consummate liar.

4. have they lied about anything they regret lying about? // he lied and told Elrick that yes, he’d had sex before their first time, and then regretted it twenty minutes later when they were forced to stop because he almost died. it's fine. they worked it out

5. have they told truths that have been spread against their will? // not really – he plays his cards very close to his chest. Nothing gets out if he doesn’t want it to.

U: Underdog 1. have they been bullied? // Only by his parents.

2. have they bullied anyone? // Not directly to anyone’s face, but he’s definitely made some unpleasant comments.

3. have they been physically attacked by a bully? // If his father counts, yes.

4. have they ever been doubted? // Only from ages 2 to 34.

5. have they surprised people with being good at something? People don’t tend to expect the piano-playing, somehow.

V: Vomit 1. do they vomit often? // what is this question set. Incidentally, yes – he has a problem with running until he’s exhausted and tends to vomit after that.

2. do they get lots of stomach aches? // no?? I guess not???

3. are they good at comforting someone ill? // lol he could be better. His levels of sympathy leave a little to be desired.

4. what do they like as far as comfort goes? // he doesn’t, really. He generally dislikes being fussed over too much and denies he is sick until he’s unable to stand up, at which point he’s forced to accept it whether he likes it or not.

5. do they burp, cough, or hiccup most when nauseous? when vomiting? // what is this question ASKING

W: Water 1. do they drink enough water? // Actually probably yes – it’s one of the few healthy habits he has.

2. have they learned to swim? // yes

3. do they like to swim? // ehhhhh he can take it or leave it

4. can they dive? // he went to an expensive private school of course he can dive

5. can they swim without holding their nose? // yes

X: Xylophone 1. what is their favorite genre of music? // Classic rock – nothing after 1989, thanks.

2. do they have a favorite song? // Hendrix’s Watchtower is up there, as mentioned, along with Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. He has favourite playlists, rather than favourite songs.

3. do they have a favorite band/artist/singer? Blue Oyster Cult in general is a favourite, as is Black Sabbath and Springsteen.

4. can they sing well? He does ok. His voice isn’t fuckin Grammy material or anything, but he can hold a note.

5. can they rap? lmao

Y: You 1. how old were you when you created them? // lol

2. what inspired you to create them? // LOL

3. were they different when they were first created? // oh god yeah. Prototype!Logan was a fucking mess, he’s undergone some serious reworking since the early days.

4. do you enjoy writing them more than other characters? // he’s my comfort-zone, honestly.

5. what’s your favorite thing about them? // his internal monologue of disdain suddenly being interrupted by Oppressively Gay Thoughts

Z: Zebra 1. what’s their favorite animal? // He likes watching birds, but only from a distance.

2. do they like animals? // Nah, he’s really not much of an animal person. Loud and messy, for the most part.

3. cats or dogs? // Cats, if he has to pick.

4. what’s their dream pet? // A taxidermised one.

5. do they have any pets at the moment? // A Birman cat named Saskia. It’s the only animal in the entire world that he loves. He doesn’t like cats – he likes his cat.

Chihayafuru Reactions 29-40

A bunch of thoughts, but most of it is just me swooning over Taichi (joke) so be warned.

Lol same random background fangirl extras.

It’s interesting how Chihaya’s fixation has shifted a little bit from Arata to the Queen, and by interesting I mean gay.

OMG WHAT. Well I guess it’s better now that Taichi isn’t dating one girl while he’s clearly into another one. I wonder why the author went out of the way to break them up though, having another girlfriend would have been a good excuse to keep Taichi sidelined as a love interest.

Anyway on less shippy talk I like how his first thought goes immediately to Arata. It really strengthens them as a trio that Taichi cares about Arata in his own way too.

It’s interesting that this is how Taichi still sees himself, because it’s how he was when he started the manga but thirty chapters in and several years later I’d say that he’s developed past the point of the kid who stole Arata’s glasses in order to cheat. It’s interesting he still sees himself through that lens though, like perhaps because he’s not being entirely honest with his feelings right now?

You know sometimes I forget this is a sports Josei manga.

I would say though Chihaya’s greatest strength along with her character flaw is her tendency to fixate, so it would make sense that she needs to let go of it.

Callout!!!! Are you perhaps suggesting that Chihaya has a tendency to be in her own head and really only pay attention to people if they’re directly around her all the time, or if they’re a part of her fixation.

I mean I see the reason why for this callout, she’s only thinking about Shinobu not even the opponent directly in front of her.

This is pretty shoneny. I think I’ve seen this exact scene happen in Haikyuu a bunch of times.

ROOT FOR TAAICHI! Whose kidding though there’s no way that Taichi is going to get what he wants and become A level this early in the manga it’ll be more fun if he suffers more.

Chapter 32

Poor Taichi.

That’s probably what’s going to lose him the match though a lack of honesty with his feelings.

Lol everybody can see it but him.

Chihaya is so bi I s2g.

PFFFFFT, Poor Taichi at least Hiyoro-kun loves you.

(Chihaya’s strength as well as her flaw is fixation shows up again).

I’m like 100% sure Taichi is going to lose.

I wonder if this is perhaps going to be a recurring theme.

Taichi’s gonna loooooooose.

I told you. Alright so Taichi looks at Chihaya entirely and not at himself, Chihaya tends to be only able to fixate at one thing at a time, and then Arata is offscreen somewhere. I think I figured out their trio dynamic.

Awe he’s so nice and considerate. See this is the reason why he won he’s better able to look at the other people around him honestly where as Taichi is still struggling with it. He even went out of his way to comfort Taichi when all Taichi did was lash out at him.

Awe babies. Mishima’s so nice he went out of his way to point out the values that Taichi doesn’t see himself because he’s constantly comparing himself to both Chihaya and Arata.

Ilegal!!!!!!!!

Also, reinforcing of the fixation based character flaw. For both of them really.

Oh hey, Arata’s in this chapter.

So bi.

Once again thematically important that second place isn’t enough for Taichi, and the only way he’ll actually be allowed to advance is to meet his high standards for first place instead of just doing “good enough” in a category.

Oh my!

Oh my!!

Well I’m sure this will go perfectly well and not lead to any shakespearian levels of misunderstanding at all.

Wow, rude.

Nishima’s so much nicer and more understanding than this guy. Arata x Taichi sunk, Taichi x Nishima sailing. (This is a joke).

Also like five minutes in and Taichi’s soul is already crushed I’m sure it won’t get worse from here.

Hmmm Chihaya, could that be because you’re not looking at yourself?

Awe. Why do I get the feeling she’s going to screw this up somehow?

No comment here just this manga occasionally gets incredibly good at visual storytelling despite being flowery af (I love the flowers they are soft and make my soul feel pastel colors).

Awe baby he’s trying so hard. I don’t even need to write a character summary about him, 90 percent of Taichi’s character arc is just him going thisisfine.jpeg

Hyperfixation repeats again and Taichi pulls her out of it.

On one hand, bi. Aslo thanks author for confirming my guess that Taichi and Queen kind of occupy the same place in Chihaya’s heart right now due to her fixating on them both. How many times can I say fixationin one post?

Why does this manga tease me so much? I’m just a cute girl I don’t deserve this.

Yep, there is the theme of Arata’s arc right there.

Yeah call her out! (god this feels like a callout to me too, be nice manga).

So once again a repettition of Taichi’s tendency to avert his gaze from things intentionally, in contrast to Chihaya whose so headstrong that she does it unintentionally.

BUT HE’S WORKING ON IT MY BOY. At the same time though his eyes are covered so he’s not entirely over it, obfuscation is still at play here, Taichi is still refusing to see his strengths.

It’s so funny when the world just owns Chihaya.

Considering Chihaya’s very childish it’ll be interesting to see if they foil each other in the match. Also fun contrast because the last person Chihaya faced off against was an old lady with kids.

They’e both babies analysis over.

Awe, it’s so nice to see how supportive her mom is.

Oh Taichi. You’re just one big knot. I can’t wait to see you snap.

Gosh it’s like the whole universe exists to remind Taichi that he’s not A ranked.

Awe he sent it after all. Thinking about what Chihaya needed motivated him to send it.

Oh that’s an interesting change in the message. Like I’ve been saying before the dynamic isn’t just a simple love triangle Taichi wants to get acknowledged by Arata too.

Okay that was ten chapters I’m going to take a break. Yes I know I post way more reactions on the Taichi chapters, I’m weak okay?
